0:00:02 > 0:00:06Today we're going antiques hunting in East Sussex, and,
0:00:06 > 0:00:08as the old Sussex saying goes,
0:00:08 > 0:00:12let's not beat the devil round the gooseberry bush. Ha!
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Let's go bargain hunting instead.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42We're in the pretty market town of Lewes today,
0:00:42 > 0:00:47which is one of the few places in Britain to have its own currency.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50So, it's three experts, 60 minutes,
0:00:50 > 0:00:54and 300 Lewes pounds each.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Let's have a quick check as to what's coming up.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01There's more that meets the eye with these Reds.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Yeah. Well done. Not just a pretty face. Not just a pretty face.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08While the Blues are playing with their toys.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12He's really fun. Do you think the horse is on steroids? 1950? He needs to be.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14THEY LAUGH
0:01:16 > 0:01:19On the programme today we have two teams of couples.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21For the Reds we've got Euan and Candice.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25And for the Blues we've got JP and Donna. Hello, everyone.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Hello. Hello, hello.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Now, Euan, you two lovebirds met at college. We did indeed.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34It was about nine years ago now. My first week at college, freshers' evening.
0:01:34 > 0:01:39I was out with my friends, she was out with hers. I was looking for a young blonde,
0:01:39 > 0:01:44she was looking for a gorgeous, athletic man - Yeah? I saw her, thought yeah, that'll do.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48Hey, presto. Nine years later, it's good. Marvellous. Nearly a decade.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52But you can make a quick getaway if you need to. I can. My hobby's running.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54I started running about three years ago,
0:01:54 > 0:01:57but I wasn't a big fan of chasing faster times.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00So I decided to chase bigger distances instead. Yes.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03So I stepped up to about 50-mile endurance runs.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Now I regularly run 100 miles in distance non-stop.
0:02:06 > 0:02:11100 miles? All at once? All in one go. I run a marathon most weekends.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14This man does a marathon every weekend!
0:02:14 > 0:02:18And then he runs 100 miles. How long does it take you to run 100 miles?
0:02:18 > 0:02:21100 miles is about 20, 21 hours for 100 miles.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24So you set off from down here, and you're in Manchester 21 hours later.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29Not quite Manchester, but a bit further away. Yeah, OK, Stoke-on-Trent, then.
0:02:29 > 0:02:34Let's not pick a bone. Yeah. That is quite something. Thank you. Candice, you look sporty to me.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Yeah, very sporty. What do you get up to?
0:02:36 > 0:02:41I don't do running. I'd rather catch a bus. But I'm more into intense training.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Yes. You like the high burn. Yeah. High burn. Not this endurance stuff?
0:02:45 > 0:02:49No. No. So what's your favourite thing? Come on, sports-wise?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51I play a lot of netball. I play about twice a week
0:02:51 > 0:02:57in two different leagues. We play in the premiership, so we play against county players as well. Do you?
0:02:57 > 0:03:02That's good fun. Turns out to be a rugby match halfway through sometimes, so it can get - A brawl?
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Yeah, can get a bit nasty.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07But, no, my main hobby is event riding.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11I have five of my own, so I'm happy to compete... Is this your job?
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Do you look after horses professionally? Yeah.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17I'm a freelance event groom, or a rider. I go round to loads of yards,
0:03:17 > 0:03:22just day-to-day routine of horse yards, or riding, or competitive riding.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25A lovely life, then? A lovely life. Something I really enjoy.
0:03:25 > 0:03:31Did you get bitten by the horse bug when you were a kid? I got a 12.2 pony. He's still alive today.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34We bought him at 22 years old and he's now 45, so...
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Has he got any teeth at all? He's got a few, bless him.
0:03:37 > 0:03:42He can't really see. He's happy. He's just happy to be alive at the moment, so... Isn't that lovely?
0:03:42 > 0:03:47Will there be a lot of horsing about today? We're going to have fun, but we do have a tactic,
0:03:47 > 0:03:52we want to win. We're competitive, we're sporty, but we're going to have fun. OK.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57We'll look forward to that. Jolly good luck. So, JP, was it first sight, first love for you two?
0:03:57 > 0:04:02About 18 years ago I was living in a shared house in North London, and we had a house party.
0:04:02 > 0:04:08Donna walked in with her mates, and I was like a cartoon character. My eyes were on stalks. Like that.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12I thought, she's lovely. It took two-and-a-half years for me to get the bottle up
0:04:12 > 0:04:19to ask Donna out for a date. What was so frightening about it that took you all that time? I was so shy.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21It's all changed now, though, hasn't it?
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Let's get on with the passion for food, shall we?
0:04:24 > 0:04:28I am passionate about food, I love cooking, and where we live in St Leonards, Hastings,
0:04:28 > 0:04:31the locally grown fruit and veg is phenomenal.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35Part of what I was doing was encouraging people on lower income, poor diets,
0:04:35 > 0:04:40to eat more fresh produce and show people how to eat healthily on very little money.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43And do you cook a bit, too? I cook a lot. I love cooking.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46So, Donna, while JP's at home cooking your dinner,
0:04:46 > 0:04:50you're out in the community doing good works, is that right? Yes.
0:04:50 > 0:04:51I work for the local authority.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56I'm a cluster coordinator for five children's centres in St Leonards.
0:04:56 > 0:05:01A cluster coordinator? Clusters of children's centres. Right. Across East Sussex.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Five centres makes one cluster. OK, fine. In St Leonards.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07So, yeah, I coordinate the services that are delivered in them.
0:05:07 > 0:05:12JP was talking about lots of deprivation in St Leonards and Hastings, and there is.
0:05:12 > 0:05:17You know lots about it. Yeah. How will you get on, on this bargain hunting lark? With a laugh.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Since we met, we never stop laughing.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24That's how many years ago? 15 years ago, 18.... 15 years together. That's not bad.
0:05:24 > 0:05:30What's your skills in the antique department? I like lighting more than anything. I like kitchenalia.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34Give me a bit... Chopping boards? No. Anything but chopping boards.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Oh, anything but? A fruit wood corer, if I could find one of those
0:05:38 > 0:05:42I'd be delighted. Would you? Yeah. Nice to know you're easily pleased.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44THEY LAUGH Exactly.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46No wonder you're such a happy man.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50If only a I could find a fruit wood corer, I'd be away.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52My life would be complete.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Tell help you on your quest, I'm going to give you £300,
0:05:55 > 0:05:58which should buy you an awful lot of fruit wood corers.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Anyway, on that happy note, you know the rules, your experts away,
0:06:01 > 0:06:05and off you go. Very, very good luck. I wouldn't mind a corer myself.
0:06:06 > 0:06:11Hoping to spin some profits for the Reds, we have the adorable...
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Always wheeling and dealing, Tom.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17And there's no masking this classic bust.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Philip Serrell's in it to win it for the Blues.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22And they're off.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26So Euan and Candice, you are quite sporty, aren't you? We are.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Very sporty. So you're uber competitive? Very.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Are we in it to win it? Got to come first. Yes.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34You've got to come first? Is that true for you? Of course!
0:06:34 > 0:06:37In your eventing, you must come first? Yes.
0:06:37 > 0:06:42So what are we looking for? Quirky silver. Quirky silver? Quirky silver, and maybe something French.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Something French. And? Maybe some kitchenalia,
0:06:45 > 0:06:48but not a chopping board. Let's go. Come on.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52Have you got any tactics? We've got loads. Up our little sleeves.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Well, let's go and find out.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Thank you.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Morning. Morning. They're off at a pace, aren't they?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Don't get left behind. We're only in the first furlong
0:07:02 > 0:07:04and the Reds have already spotted something horsey.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10It's a what? A grass muzzle. We put it on them. Eight pounds?
0:07:10 > 0:07:15How much do they want? You can't go wrong with eight pounds. How much are they worth? Quite a lot.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18You can get them for £20, maybe more depending on the fabric.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22But this is leather? We don't use leather ones anymore.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Why not? Because they're too hard. Like, it's better to have fabric
0:07:25 > 0:07:28because then it breaks easily if anything were to happen.
0:07:28 > 0:07:33In they got something caught? Exactly. Is that repairable? No. No.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36We said that in union. Is that no good, then? No.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39I'll put it back on the floor. It's just decorative.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Good try, though, Euan. And keep it up.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Do you like the oars, do you? Yeah.
0:07:47 > 0:07:52How can we know if they're old? Shall we go and get them? I like them.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Don't rock the boat, eh, Thomas?
0:07:59 > 0:08:04Got that? Yes. I don't know what oars are made out of but they look quite nice quality.
0:08:04 > 0:08:10They look pine to me. They look in good tack. Would they be ornamental? Definitely for use. Yeah? For use.
0:08:10 > 0:08:15What's the best on these? Up from 45. They can be 30. £30?
0:08:15 > 0:08:18£30. Oh, what do you think? Wow, really good.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22I think that is item number one. Done? Yes. Done? Yeah.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26Item number one, done. Thank you very much. No problem.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Right, onwards and upwards. Ooh! Item number two to be found.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Well, that was all very painless.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34These sport types don't muck about, do they?
0:08:35 > 0:08:40This one's quite the place for motor memorabilia, I understand.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42And these are classic, aren't they? Yes.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Bexhill, just down the road, is the home of motor racing.
0:08:45 > 0:08:50That's where the first motor racing - Is it? The first ever motor race. Yeah.
0:08:50 > 0:08:55Yes, you're quite right. Bexhill-on-Sea hosted Britain's
0:08:55 > 0:08:58first automobile race on the 19th of May, 1902.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04Those at auction, they're going to make five to ten pounds each.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Oh, really? Roughly. We'll put them back for a minute.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11I'm concerned at the moment. Yeah, are you? Well, I am.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15Because our time's going and we haven't bought anything yet. No.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18I'm worried. What about this little thing here?
0:09:18 > 0:09:21He's quite fun, isn't he? Yeah. Shall we get him down? Yeah.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26He is quirky, isn't he? I think he's fun. It's really nice.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30I think he's quite funny. Makes me laugh. He's really fun. What is he?
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Do you think the horse is on steroids? 1950. He needs to be.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34THEY LAUGH
0:09:34 > 0:09:38It's 45 quid. Is it English, is it French, who knows? Who knows.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40It doesn't matter, does it? It's brilliant.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43It's 1950s, it's made out of painted plywood.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47At auction it's going to make somewhere between 20 and 40 quid.
0:09:47 > 0:09:52You've got to try and get the price down a bit, but you've got to buy it. We do, just for the fun value.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Why don't we just put it by... OK... and see what else we can buy. OK.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00A job lot. Make a job lot out. We might do even better that way. Yeah.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Yep, you'd better get it off the shelf,
0:10:02 > 0:10:07cos these Reds are hot on your tail; and they're not sitting about.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Look at these. I've never seen these before.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12It says adjustable music or dining chairs.
0:10:12 > 0:10:18So they've got an action, where you press this button, and they go up,
0:10:18 > 0:10:20and they go down.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24For children or for adults. Or, you know, vertically challenged people.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27I mean, you won't ever have that problem, you two.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31It's like a race. It is like a race. It is like a race.
0:10:31 > 0:10:32Upstairs.
0:10:32 > 0:10:37Do you know, there's no holding Candice back. She's competitive all right.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Well, we're now 20 minutes in,
0:10:39 > 0:10:41with the Reds in the lead with one item bought.
0:10:41 > 0:10:47Tennis racquets as mirrors. You said mirrors were good. But not tennis racquets. That's just ridiculous.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50But not as mirrors. What is the world coming to?
0:10:50 > 0:10:54I don't know either, Thomas. It was all so different in my day.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Anyway, what have you Blues spotted?
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Let's have a look. It's interesting.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05Oh, that's quite sweet, isn't it? Yes. This is an engraving plate, isn't it?
0:11:05 > 0:11:11It's the original plate. Wow. And then the etchings would be taken - From that. Oh, wow.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14That's interesting. It's a framed engraver's plate
0:11:14 > 0:11:16of a rather famous painting by Fragonard.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20That writing is actually the right way round.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23So I wonder whether this is the plate,
0:11:23 > 0:11:27and someone's put that on afterwards just to say... To identify it. Yes.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31It's probably, I would think, early-19th century. Really? Yes.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34At auction... Very nice. It is.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37And it's a whole load of work in there. Yes. Yes.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41At auction that's going to make between 20 to 40, 30 to 50 pounds.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Really? That sort of region. Right.
0:11:43 > 0:11:48So we've now got to decide where we're going. Yes. Absolutely.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50So much work for so little reward.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55What do you think? Silk. It's not very you, you two. Beautifully done.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58There's no price on it, is there? 45.
0:11:58 > 0:12:0345. That's been done by hand. Do you see the embroidery on that? Yes.
0:12:03 > 0:12:09The work? That is tremendous. How old is it? 1900, 1920?
0:12:09 > 0:12:12What do you think? I mean, do people collect that? They do.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15It is decorative, it is very attractive. It is plain, though.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19Well, people don't like big, bold colours.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23I just can't see where I'd put that. It's not you. It's not you. True.
0:12:23 > 0:12:28Why aren't you an antiques' dealer? Look outside the box. Why aren't you an antiques' dealer?
0:12:28 > 0:12:32I think you'd probably be quite good. It's not a bad thing.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35You can't like everything you buy, that's the thing. Yes.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39I don't want to pressurise you into buying something you don't want, I like this.
0:12:39 > 0:12:44You've got to look outside the box. For the money, that's nothing. It's a snip. Have I turned you?
0:12:44 > 0:12:50Yes, I like it. You didn't like it to begin with. I didn't, but looking at it, looking at the detail
0:12:50 > 0:12:56on the thread. You haven't had a look, have you? Not closely. See, look at all that thread work there.
0:12:56 > 0:13:01Let's take it downstairs. Shall we try and get it for a figure with a three in front of it? I think so.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04A three-zero. A three-zero would be quite difficult.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Come on, let's take it downstairs.
0:13:06 > 0:13:11Well done, Thomas, for teaching these two about quality and workmanship.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13That's what we like.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17Hello. Instead of dragging you all the way upstairs... Thank you.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19We decided to bring this down as it was portable.
0:13:21 > 0:13:2445 is on this.
0:13:24 > 0:13:2840. I was hoping with a three in front of it would be great.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Were you? Yes, I was. Maybe 35?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33I'm going to have to ring him.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Do you mind? I'll do it now. That's fine. Thank you very much.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40OK, Henry, thanks very much. OK. Bye.
0:13:41 > 0:13:4538, how's that? Oh, 38. 38! It's got a three in it.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48I think that's a goer. Fantastic. Carry on, yes.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Yes? Are we going to do that? Deal. Sale!
0:13:51 > 0:13:53That's two up to the Reds.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57The Blues had better get a shifty on because we're now 40 minutes in.
0:13:57 > 0:14:02We've decided that we'd like this etching. We'd also like the jockey.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06Because we're buying two... 70 quid the two. 65, is that possible?
0:14:06 > 0:14:10Go on, then, for 65. Lovely. Thank you very much.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14So that fiver comes off the toy, which makes it 25 for the horse
0:14:14 > 0:14:16and 40 for the etching plate.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Come on.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Well done. Both teams are now even.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21I'm running like you.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25We still haven't ticked those boxes. We haven't, no.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Yeah, but now time's ticking.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30So let's hope a fresh shop will bring some fresh ideas,
0:14:30 > 0:14:33or even some ancient ones with a deep chip out of it.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37What is a Thebes stool? A Thebes stool is an Egyptian stool
0:14:37 > 0:14:41found in the tombs where the mummies were incarcerated.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44In the 1920s, when Carnarvon found Tutankhamen
0:14:44 > 0:14:47and when we were really in the Valley of the Kings
0:14:47 > 0:14:52having a good old hunt about, these were reproduced and were very, very popular.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56Here we've got hieroglyphics carved round here. A little bit of damage there.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00A Liberty stool. Liberty, the retailers in London,
0:15:00 > 0:15:03did retail these as Thebes stools.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07But I don't think it's worth £95, if the truth be known. No. No.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11We need to buy it on a shoestring. You do need to buy that on a shoestring.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14That Candice is a sharp one.
0:15:14 > 0:15:20That's quite nice. I don't know how much it is. Oh, it is a knife and fork. It's not silver, is it? No.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24It's stainless steel? What's that worth? I'm not going to tell you the price. You tell me.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27I would pay maybe 20 quid at the most. Are they heavy?
0:15:28 > 0:15:32They're a good weight. So you'd pay 20 quid at the most? At the most.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34And what would you pay for those?
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Nothing by the looks of it. Probably maybe 35.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41I tell you what. I think you need to stick with him.
0:15:41 > 0:15:4423. I know. He's very good. He is very good.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47I think those are a bit of fun.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Food for though, I suppose.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Do you want to have a quick rummage? Let's have a quick rummage.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55You have a quick rummage there. I'll follow you.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Now, Reds, all that money must be burning a hole in your pocket.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03You've got quite a bit of money. We've got loads of money. Loads of dosh.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07So how much have we got left? Around 230. Around 230?
0:16:07 > 0:16:09That's a lot. Too much.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13Right, we're in the last ten minutes - and that's your final warning.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16That lighthouse. The big one in the back?
0:16:16 > 0:16:19It's lighting and it's coastal. It's 1920s.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Oh, it's actually on a plinth.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26I'll get the base. That's really funky. It is, actually. Yeah. Phil!
0:16:26 > 0:16:29What have we found, what have we found?
0:16:29 > 0:16:31We have found a nice big bit of rock.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34That's quite funky, isn't it? Isn't it? Alabaster, that is.
0:16:34 > 0:16:40Yeah. Why did you choose that one rather than that one? Cos it's bigger. Is that the only reason?
0:16:40 > 0:16:44It does look like the Beachy Head one. How much is that? It's got a seagull. 48 quid.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49Is it 1920s? It says 1930s. Yeah, I would think it's that, or a little bit later, isn't it?
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Which do you prefer? Probably this one,
0:16:51 > 0:16:55because that looks more like the Sovereign Lighthouse. Time's against us.
0:16:55 > 0:17:01And I think at auction... It will make? I think it's going to make between 30 and 50 pounds.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05That's what I think it will make. I'm very loath to admit this, but I quite like that.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Whey-hey!
0:17:10 > 0:17:14We caught you out. OK, are you going to have a go at it? I think so. I think so.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17We'll try and get money off it. It's priced at £48,
0:17:17 > 0:17:22and I think its auction value is probably going to be between 30 and £50. That's my shot. Mm-hm.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26Go and have a word with the dealer and just see what you can get it for. OK.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Good luck. Thank you.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Now, gather round, boys and girls.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Punch. I like that.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39"Mr Punch, steel button hook, 1906."
0:17:39 > 0:17:44What's the price? £67. There are Punch collectors out there for sure.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48What does it appeal more to, a Punch collector or a button hook collector? Both.
0:17:48 > 0:17:53Eastbourne, it's like... Seaside. Seaside. Seaside town. Exactly.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57I like that. That's a good shape. It is a good shape. Well done.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Not just a pretty face. Not just a pretty face.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04No, not just a pretty face. I quite like that. Quite like the collectability.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08I like that. Is it silver? This'll be silver and this'll be steel.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12Chromed to make it work. And that's for buttoning your gloves or boots.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15I quite like it. You quite like it? Yeah, yeah.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Seaside, Punch collectors, button hook collectors.
0:18:18 > 0:18:23Shall we see what the best price I can get? Yes. Let's go for it. Michelle? Hello.
0:18:23 > 0:18:29Mr Punch silver steel button hook, 1906. 67.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Um... 60's a normal trade.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Yeah, what could you...?
0:18:34 > 0:18:3650? It's quite...
0:18:36 > 0:18:40That would be OK. 50? Just about OK. Just about? Yeah.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42What do you think? Brilliant, yeah.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47Fantastic. Are you going to go for that? Thanks very much. Thank you.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Thank you. Well done. Thank you very much, Michelle.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53That's our third and final item. Brilliant. Yes!
0:18:54 > 0:18:57That's the way to do it.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Sorry, I couldn't help it.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01We'd like to buy... There we go. This lovely piece.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Our lovely Beachy Head lighthouse.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07We'd like to ask you what your best, best, best possible price is.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Let's see who it belongs to. 43.
0:19:10 > 0:19:1643? Do you think so? Yeah, let's go for 43. It is very unusual. Yeah.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Well, it is, and it's Beachy Head,
0:19:18 > 0:19:21and the auction's in Eastbourne, so somebody there.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25Made for it, isn't it? Exactly. As long as I don't paint it red and white.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28OK, we'll pay 43, thank you. OK.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31We love your shop. It's great. Thank you very much. We'll be back.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35Time has elapsed, the hour has rushed by.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Let's check out now what the Red team bought.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42By a stoke of luck, the Reds spotted these oars,
0:19:42 > 0:19:45and splashed out a meagre £30 for them.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50They then saw the finesse in this Chinese silkwork picture
0:19:50 > 0:19:52and got the price down to...
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Wow. Finally, they snapped up
0:19:54 > 0:19:59a Mr Punch novelty silver and steel button hook at a cost of £50.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03I think it was 59 minutes, yeah. Oh, no. Very close.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08So just one minute left, was it? Yes, very close.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Very good, Tom. It's called time management.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12I was completely relaxed.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15So which is your best part of that shopping experience?
0:20:15 > 0:20:19The last two minutes, cos you're like, decision, decision,
0:20:19 > 0:20:23which way are you going to go? It's a bit like show jumping, right?
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Yes. Under pressure. You've got to do your round. Nerves of steel,
0:20:26 > 0:20:30that's the main thing. Keep calm. Yeah. What was your best bit?
0:20:30 > 0:20:34Everything. I loved it all. We were looking for a sporty item but couldn't find that,
0:20:34 > 0:20:38but we found, with Tom's help, three fantastic items.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Which is your favourite? I like the oars we got. Nice, tactile items.
0:20:41 > 0:20:47We wanted something... We're going to be down in Eastbourne for the auction. Something near the water.
0:20:47 > 0:20:52Seaside orientated. We managed to get that quickly. Which is your favourite? The button hook.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Yeah? It's a really cute little item. Really handy.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58And how much did you spend altogether? £118.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00What, on all three? Altogether, I know.
0:21:00 > 0:21:06I've never taken her shopping and spent so little money. Amazing. Long may it continue.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10I think I'd better have the £182. Thank you.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13£182, Thomas Plant.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17I've seen something. I'm going to spend most of it. Is it horsey? No.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21Is it to do with running? No. Well, it won't be popular.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25THEY LAUGH On a happy note, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:21:25 > 0:21:28The Blues saw the fun in this pull-along horse and jockey toy.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37At the same time, they snapped up the 19th-century engraving plate
0:21:37 > 0:21:41that will surely print a profit at £40.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45And they were saved just in time by the lighthouse-shaped electric lamp.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51The things we bought were not what we were expecting.
0:21:51 > 0:21:56Always the way. Pressure, pressure, pressure. Sounds like everyone had a smashing time. We did.
0:21:56 > 0:22:02Which is your favourite bit, Donna? I really like the horse we bought. I think you'll enjoy him, too.
0:22:02 > 0:22:07I can't wait to see it. What about you? Definitely the horse as well. You are welded to the hip, you two.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10We are, absolutely. Like mirror images. Yeah.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Donna did have a shave this morning.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14THEY LAUGH
0:22:14 > 0:22:17There will be pillow talk about that, JP.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20It's all very well you being brave now.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24Off the telly you'll get a bit of stick for that one. Absolutely. OK.
0:22:24 > 0:22:29Which piece is going to bring the biggest profit, Donna? I think the etching will.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Tim, I'm not grovelling, but I agree.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35See what I mean? I had to say it. I rest my case.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Because it's unusual and it's very pretty.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41It's no wonder you're so happy together, it's marvellous.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45It's a fantastic thing to see. So how much did you spend all round?
0:22:45 > 0:22:49We spent £108. £108? That's nothing, is it? No.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53OK, so can I have £192, then?
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Begrudgingly. Yeah, you don't like handing it over. No.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59It's your only miserable moment of the day,
0:22:59 > 0:23:02but he's very happy, old smiler here. Look at him take that lot.
0:23:02 > 0:23:07Well, these guys like some sort of, I think, 20th-century stuff.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10So I'm going to go and find a bit of 20th century
0:23:10 > 0:23:12that might lighten their darkness.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Well, good for you, Phil.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23And before we leave the picturesque town of Lewes,
0:23:23 > 0:23:27I want to show you something I found in a shop just down the road.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30With all this wood about, it's not surprising
0:23:30 > 0:23:33that people develop a passion for the stuff,
0:23:33 > 0:23:36and I have to say it is a passion that I share.
0:23:37 > 0:23:43Particularly when you get the opportunity of coming across a little fragment, like this.
0:23:43 > 0:23:48How special, on a special scale, out of ten?
0:23:48 > 0:23:54I think this thing could turn out to be nine, if not ten, out of ten.
0:23:54 > 0:23:59What is it? If you look at the back there's a lot of woodworm holes.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03What do woodworm really like to have a chomp at?
0:24:04 > 0:24:07They really like pear wood and they really like walnut.
0:24:07 > 0:24:13And this strange gingery-coloured wood is pear wood.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Where does the thing come from?
0:24:15 > 0:24:19Well, funnily enough, I think it was carved in Germany
0:24:19 > 0:24:21in a place called Augsburg.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25The next thing that shoves this up the scale right to the top
0:24:25 > 0:24:27is the subject of the carving.
0:24:27 > 0:24:32We have here a horrible scaly beast.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34That is an alligator or a crocodile.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37And then we've got a man who's attempting
0:24:37 > 0:24:42to open the alligator or crocodile's jaws with his bare hands.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45This is not a sensible thing to do.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50In fact, this person had never seen one of these creatures.
0:24:50 > 0:24:55The woodcarver has only seen a drawing or a print.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57In 1510,
0:24:57 > 0:25:02the first rhinoceros was brought to Europe,
0:25:02 > 0:25:06to Portugal. As a result of that weird beast arriving,
0:25:06 > 0:25:09all sorts of drawings and prints were produced,
0:25:09 > 0:25:13principally by a man called Durer.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Durer had never seen the rhinoceros either.
0:25:16 > 0:25:21He'd simply been told it was a great big beast with armour-plated sides,
0:25:21 > 0:25:23and he produced a drawing accordingly.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27And that, for all Europeans,
0:25:27 > 0:25:30was their interpretation of the rhinoceros.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34Similarly, nobody had seen any crocodiles or alligators.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39But some drawings were distributed early in the 16th century,
0:25:39 > 0:25:45and that is the basis, I reckon, of this particular piece of carving.
0:25:45 > 0:25:50It's early, in my view, between 1520 and 1550.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52It shows this extremely oddball subject,
0:25:52 > 0:25:58and if I was able to trace the original drawing, or wood block,
0:25:58 > 0:26:02from which this wood carving was carved,
0:26:02 > 0:26:06it would make this object extremely valuable.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Right now you could buy it for £100.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12But with the research, with the uplift,
0:26:12 > 0:26:15it could bring as much as £2,000.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Now, at that,
0:26:18 > 0:26:20I'd bite his arm off.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Eastbourne Auction Rooms is where we're at,
0:26:27 > 0:26:31and Paul Alkalis is the man of the moment. Paul, how are you feeling?
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Very well, thank you, Tim. Excellent.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Anyway, first up for the Reds are a pair of oars.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41Pretty ordinary oars, I'd say. Pretty ordinary pine oars, Tim.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Some of these oars are fantastic, aren't they?
0:26:44 > 0:26:49They're brass-tipped, but these are off a pretty modern dingy, I'd say. I would say so.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52If you had to put your toe in the water, how much would you put on them?
0:26:52 > 0:26:57An uninspiring 20 to £30, Tim. OK, £30 paid, so that's not too bad.
0:26:57 > 0:27:03Next is this really beautiful, very finely worked silk picture.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06That is something else, isn't it? We like this, Tim.
0:27:06 > 0:27:11Basically, the colour's pretty good, isn't it? Colour's pretty good, fine detailing.
0:27:11 > 0:27:16It's quite a nice Chinese silk work, that. So it's Chinese? We believe it to be Chinese.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20It's so subtle the colours. The maple leafage coming over it
0:27:20 > 0:27:24just in the autumn, just about to turn colour.
0:27:24 > 0:27:29And sometimes less is more. Exactly. The space is this thing is dramatic.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33How much, Tim? We've estimated this at 100 to £150.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37100 to 150? £38 is all they paid.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41Just look at that. That is what you call a bargain - if you're right.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47Next is the steel and silver button hook. Mr Punch. Very popular,
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Mr Punch. Shame it's a button hook,
0:27:49 > 0:27:52but I'm sure somebody will do something with that,
0:27:52 > 0:27:57maybe even take Mr Punch off there and mount it onto something a bit more interesting.
0:27:57 > 0:28:03But we've got high hopes for him as well. So how much? We think he'll make 30 to 50. Jolly well needs to.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Our lot paid £50 for it. I think it'll make 50, won't it?
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Um... Fingers crossed. OK, we will cross our fingers.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13And just in case, perhaps we ought to take a look at the bonus buy.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18OK, you two lovebirds, you spent £118, yes?
0:28:18 > 0:28:20You gave Tom Plant £182.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25He's a bit of a devil like this. What did you buy, Tom?
0:28:25 > 0:28:28I bought something that really tickled me. What?!
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Oh, my goodness! What do you think of that?
0:28:31 > 0:28:33He's not having a nice time, is he?
0:28:33 > 0:28:35His bottom's being bitten.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38Did you spend all the money on that? Not all the money,
0:28:38 > 0:28:41but a significant amount.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44OK, let me just tell you. It is Austrian,
0:28:44 > 0:28:45it's a coal-painted bronze.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48So the technique of casting the figure in bronze
0:28:48 > 0:28:52and then coal-painting it, and it's beautifully done.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55These things are so charming and so collectable.
0:28:55 > 0:28:59He's not having a good time, is he? It's 1920, around that period.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03Candy, you just hold it. Feel it. Feel it. You can see how heavy it is. Whoa!
0:29:03 > 0:29:09Do people collect those, or things made in that material? It's bronze, so it's a hard material to cast.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13It is very funny. Is it not heavier than you thought it would be? A lot heavier.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17I thought it was like some kid's little plastic toy. Exactly.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21Something that came out of a cracker? Yes. It's not. But it ain't.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25It's got a mark on it. Made in China. Gerschultz or something. Made in China. I think not!
0:29:25 > 0:29:28It'll say Gerschultz, I think.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32Which is very similar to Made in... Made in. It's Austrian.
0:29:32 > 0:29:36You haven't said how much you spent on it. That's quite good.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39I avoided that one like the plague. It can't be a lot, surely? Yes.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41These are terribly collectable.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44£120. What?! Three figures, yes. Oh, my goodness.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48It was marked up a lot more. I had to work hard at that.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50So what do you think it will estimate to sell for?
0:29:50 > 0:29:55I would've thought you're looking at a minor profit of 130, 140.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58But they are rare. Oh, my goodness. It's a huge gamble. Lovely job.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02You've had your prediction. You're clearly under impressed.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06Let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Tom's little croc.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09There we go, Paul. What about that for a sweet little novelty?
0:30:09 > 0:30:13Very nice, isn't it? Nice hand-painted metal. Bronze?
0:30:13 > 0:30:16I should think so. It's got to be, hasn't it?
0:30:16 > 0:30:22I would think it's Austrian, from the Bergman period there. Very well detailed. It's a nice subject.
0:30:22 > 0:30:28I know. When did you last see a child been bitten in the boxer shorts by a crocodile?
0:30:28 > 0:30:33It's the first one I've ever seen. How much do you think? We've put 40 to 60 on it. Is that all?
0:30:33 > 0:30:38OK. £120 paid by Thomas Plant for this,
0:30:38 > 0:30:41with a great reassurance that it will make money.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45Anyway, we'll see. That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues,
0:30:45 > 0:30:49and first up for them is the articulated toy horse.
0:30:49 > 0:30:53A nice pull-along toy horse there made by the Tri-ang Company there,
0:30:53 > 0:30:56dating from around about 1940s, 1950s. Yes.
0:30:56 > 0:31:01Cos Tri-ang is one of those quintessentially English factories, isn't it? It is.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04With the three, what were they called, the Lines brothers?
0:31:04 > 0:31:08Yeah, and together they make a triangle, hence Tri-ang,
0:31:08 > 0:31:12which is a clever bit of marketing for their toys. Very much so.
0:31:12 > 0:31:17I believe they started in the early 20th century. Well, it's in good nick, I have to say.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21What do you think it's going to bring? We've put 20 to 30 as a pre-sale estimate.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24Well, slap bang in the middle. £25 is what they paid.
0:31:24 > 0:31:30Next is this very strange silvered copper French engraver's plate
0:31:30 > 0:31:35all framed up. Do you like that? It's not my cup of tea, I'm afraid.
0:31:35 > 0:31:39It is decorative, but you can't see the detail because it's so tiny.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41So it slightly loses the point, doesn't it?
0:31:41 > 0:31:45Yes, it does, and some of the silver-plate has worn from it as well.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49Yes. Still, it's unusual. So, as an unusual thing, how much?
0:31:49 > 0:31:52We've put a decorative value on it of around about 40 to £60.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55Very good. £40 paid, so that's excellent.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59And lastly is the alabaster lighthouse lamp.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03I don't know about you, but I find that lighthouses, in any material,
0:32:03 > 0:32:07bronze, turned stone like this, are always popular.
0:32:07 > 0:32:12Very much so, especially in Eastbourne. We've got our own lighthouse just down the road.
0:32:12 > 0:32:17As with alabaster being a soft stone, it's got lots of little chips and scuffs on it.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20So what's the estimate on the lighthouse? 30 to £40, Tim.
0:32:20 > 0:32:25OK. £43 paid. Overall, they haven't paid much so they can't lose much.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29So they may not need the bonus buy but let's go and have a look at it.
0:32:30 > 0:32:35OK, JP, Donna, you spent £108, you gave Phil 192. What did you spend?
0:32:35 > 0:32:39Well, lights, camera, action. Are you ready for this?
0:32:39 > 0:32:43Oh, wow! Oh! Oh, that is fabulous. You've done good. That is brilliant.
0:32:43 > 0:32:48I think these are really cool things. It's a vintage Major theatre light. Uh-huh.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51Cost me 80 quid, which might seem like a lot,
0:32:51 > 0:32:55but I think, if you can put that on top of a tripod, like that.
0:32:55 > 0:33:00It's fantastic. You've got yourself a really cool interior light. Impressed.
0:33:00 > 0:33:05You've done very well. But will the people of Eastbourne see what you and I see? I don't know.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09You said 1930s? No, Fifties. Fifties, yeah.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13It's a bit of a lump, isn't it? It's got a lovely lens on it. How much?
0:33:13 > 0:33:1580 quid.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18I've seen these things sell, on tripods, for close to £200.
0:33:18 > 0:33:23There you've got it in a nutshell. Let's put the spotlight on the auctioneer and find out,
0:33:23 > 0:33:26for the audience at home, what he thinks.
0:33:27 > 0:33:32Right, Paul, you're under the spotlight with this. It's a theatre spotlight, isn't it?
0:33:32 > 0:33:35It's in cast alloy, made by a company, Major.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38What more is there to say about it? Tatty. Tatty.
0:33:38 > 0:33:45I've seen these things polished up to the nines. The really shiny, straight aluminium job on a tripod.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48But this is not the same, is it? No, it's not.
0:33:48 > 0:33:53Putting your most speculative hat on, what's it worth? Possibly 30 to 50.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Uh-oh. £80 paid.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58This could be Philip Serrell's comeuppance.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02Let's wait and see. Thank you very much, Paul.
0:34:05 > 0:34:10OK, Euan, Candice, how are you feeling? Excited. Nervous. Very.
0:34:10 > 0:34:15Your first item is a pair of oars, right? Not so old oars, either.
0:34:15 > 0:34:19No. No? They might make firewood rather than oars, I don't know.
0:34:19 > 0:34:24You paid £30, he's estimated £20 to £30. OK. And I reckon you'll just about wash your face. Yeah.
0:34:24 > 0:34:30If the worst comes to the worst, you've got the little Austrian figure of the guy with...
0:34:30 > 0:34:34The bottom being bitten. Yeah. So there we are. Happy with that? Very happy.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Moving forward then, first up is your oars.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39A nice pair of oars these. We start on commission at £20.
0:34:39 > 0:34:44At £20, and I'll take two. At £20, two bid, five, eight is it?
0:34:44 > 0:34:4725 has it. At 25. Go on.
0:34:47 > 0:34:5128 I'll take. At £25, then. All done and letting them go at that bid.
0:34:51 > 0:34:5425. HE BANGS GAVEL
0:34:54 > 0:34:57£25. You're minus five. It's cheap.
0:34:57 > 0:35:02The fine Chinese silk work picture there, of ducks beneath the branch. Framed. This will make up for it.
0:35:02 > 0:35:07It's conflicting bids at £80. I'll take five from you now. At 85, 90.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Five, 100, 110. 100 has it.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13At £100. Nice silk picture, that, at £100.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15At £100... This is great.
0:35:15 > 0:35:16Come on.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19Commission there at 100. HE BANGS GAVEL
0:35:19 > 0:35:22That's what we like to see. Thank you.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24That's two off 40. That means you're plus 62.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27Look out. Amazing. Here comes the button hook.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29With the silver Mr Punch figural terminal there.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32It's hallmarked Birmingham.
0:35:32 > 0:35:3550 is where we have to start. It's what we paid. Exactly.
0:35:35 > 0:35:3855 is bid on the internet. Come on. At 55.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41At 55, all done and selling. Are you bidding? 60.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44Yes. Well done. Five on the net now. Good choice.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48At 70, sir. And five.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51Seated at 70. 75 on the net. 80?
0:35:51 > 0:35:53At £75. All done and selling.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56HE BANGS GAVEL That's 25. Well done, team.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00Yes. That's 25. So you're 57, 77.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03You are plus £82. Wow!
0:36:03 > 0:36:08You spent £118, and you just made £82 profit on your investment.
0:36:08 > 0:36:13Yes. That's good. What are you going to do about the Austrian bronze?
0:36:13 > 0:36:16He can't help you. He's not allowed to. I won't say a word.
0:36:16 > 0:36:21You can't look at him. We're only here once. Shall we go for it? Yeah, we might as well.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24You really want to, don't you? Go on then, go for it. Yeah? Go on.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27You will sacrifice your potential dinner out together
0:36:28 > 0:36:32on a speculative turn... It's a nice dinner. We'll go fish and chips.
0:36:32 > 0:36:37Are you going with it? Yes. You're going with the bonus buy? Here it comes.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40Coal-painted bronze metal figure. We start this on commission at £50.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43At 50. I'll take five. Five is bid on the net.
0:36:43 > 0:36:4765. Oh, we've gone up. At 65, and 70. And five is it?
0:36:48 > 0:36:53At 80, and five. Come on. 90, and five. No money.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55100, 110. Come on. I'll take 20 elsewhere.
0:36:55 > 0:36:59At 110. 120 on the net or in the room, wherever you like.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02At 110 the bid. One more.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04Selling it on that bid. HE BANGS GAVEL
0:37:04 > 0:37:09Oh, £110. You're just one shy. That is such bad luck.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13Ten pounds down. Did you feel it happening, though? Yes.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16Oh, bad luck. Anyway, you're still plus 72. Yeah.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20That's still a good dinner, isn't it? It's still supper. Yeah.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24We just lost our starter, but it's still a good main and a pudding.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28OK, lovely. Now, listen, don't say a word to the Blues, OK?
0:37:28 > 0:37:31Look miserable, actually. Can you do that? Yeah.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Is it possible? I can do that. OK.
0:37:40 > 0:37:45Now, JP, Donna, do you know how the Reds got on? I haven't a clue. No? No idea. OK, that's good.
0:37:45 > 0:37:51You just spent the £108. Yep. Your big investment was the lighthouse. Yes. You spent 43 on that. Yes.
0:37:51 > 0:37:55He's estimating £30 to £40. That's OK. Not bad.
0:37:55 > 0:38:00So we might be all right. You might be all right. And if all else fails, you've got that nice theatre light.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03Fantastic. Are we happy with that? Very happy.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06First lot coming up is the jockey. Here it comes.
0:38:06 > 0:38:12The Tri-ang articulated horse and jockey wooden pull-along toy. There is it. £20 I'm bid on commission.
0:38:12 > 0:38:1522, five, eight bid. At 28. Where's 30?
0:38:16 > 0:38:18At 28. 30 do I see?
0:38:18 > 0:38:2332. We're in profit. 35, 38, 40, 42 on the telephone then.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25At £42. Anyone else? Runaway.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28At £42 only, all done and selling.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30It's plus £17. Excellent.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32Plus 17, children. That's good.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34Now, we've got the Fragonard.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37Early 19th century silvered copper French engraving plate.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40Come on. There it is, straight in at £40 on commission.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43My double here at 40. I'll take two from you.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45I'm bid on the net now at £42.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48At £42. You're all out in the room at 42. Come on.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50It's on the internet, at £42. All done.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53HE BANGS GAVEL Yes, that's plus £2.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55There's nothing the matter with that. A £2 profit.
0:38:55 > 0:38:59There you go, the electric lamp in the form of a lighthouse.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02It's got a seagull mount to the base. At £30.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06Go on, we've got the Beach Head one down the road. 32, 35, 38,
0:39:06 > 0:39:1040. Still on commission at £40 only. One more, one more.
0:39:10 > 0:39:15I'll take another two. One more. At £40. Letting it go on this bid at 40.
0:39:15 > 0:39:20Anyone else? One more. All done and selling at £40 only. Oh dear.
0:39:20 > 0:39:24HE BANGS GAVEL £40 minus three. That is bad luck.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28So 17, 19, minus three is plus 16.
0:39:28 > 0:39:32Whoo! Plus £16. There's nothing the matter with that. No, no.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36So you're in the profit. What are you going to do about the theatre light?
0:39:36 > 0:39:39I think we'll go for it. I think... We've got faith in you.
0:39:39 > 0:39:44Phil won't influence you one way or the other. He's too much of a professional.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46THEY LAUGH
0:39:46 > 0:39:50He's not even going to wink or show any sign of approval. He's holding his breath.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53He is holding his breath.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56OK, fine, the decision is you're going with it, yes? We are.
0:39:56 > 0:40:00It's a funky object. Exactly. A funky object for a funky couple, eh?
0:40:00 > 0:40:04OK, happy with that? Let's do it. We're going with the bonus buy. Here it comes.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08The vintage Major theatre spotlight. There it is, look.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11And how about 20 to start me on this lot?
0:40:11 > 0:40:1320 I'm bid. At £20. I'll take two.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17At 20, two's your bid. At 22, five.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20At £22. Anyone else at 22? Oh, no.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22All done. Selling, £22.
0:40:24 > 0:40:29Anybody else want to bid? This is terrible. Come on, who else wants to bid?
0:40:29 > 0:40:32£22 is bid. It's appalling. HE BANGS GAVEL
0:40:32 > 0:40:38£22? Isn't that good? No. You've got a bargain.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41That is terrible. Thanks, Phil.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44You tried - but you failed. Yeah, miserably.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48That's minus 58, that one. Ahh.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52Minus 42. I'll tell you... It's the thought that counts.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Eastbourne isn't ready for this.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58Anyway, minus £42. Could be a winning score.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01Don't say a word to the Reds. It's been a winning day.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03Yes, we really enjoyed it. Thank you.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05Thanks for having a punt.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17Gosh, what naughty teams we've had today, haven't we?
0:41:17 > 0:41:22But we've had a lovely time. And there is, of course, a polarity here,
0:41:22 > 0:41:25in that one team has done extraordinarily well,
0:41:25 > 0:41:27and the other team hasn't done so well.
0:41:28 > 0:41:32Anyway, at the other end of the pole, I regret to say, are the Blues.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34Ohh!
0:41:34 > 0:41:36Minus £42.
0:41:36 > 0:41:41Not at all assisted by that wretched theatre lamp. A great thing.
0:41:41 > 0:41:45A great object. Just not ready for Eastbourne. Not ready for Eastbourne.
0:41:45 > 0:41:50Anyway, you've been brilliant about it, and does it really matter not to win? It doesn't matter.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52Not in the scale of things.
0:41:52 > 0:41:58You've had this opportunity of being close to the great Philip Serrell, haven't you? For days and days.
0:41:58 > 0:42:03Seriously, we've loved having you on the show. You've been great sports. Thank you.
0:42:03 > 0:42:08Which is what it's all about. It isn't easy when that happens, but you've been fantastic.
0:42:08 > 0:42:13Thank you very much. Now, the team that is going away with some profits,
0:42:13 > 0:42:17the lucky old Reds, £72-worth of profit. Brilliant. Well done.
0:42:17 > 0:42:22They, too, had to suffer their disappointments at the hand of the bonus buy. Yes.
0:42:22 > 0:42:27They had £82, but, sadly, that was reduced as a result of somebody
0:42:27 > 0:42:32not being so attracted to the crocodile boxer short-eating bronze.
0:42:32 > 0:42:37No. But there we go. It's all a question of taste, isn't it, Tom? Absolutely.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Did you have a good time? It was great fun. Really good. Really good.
0:42:40 > 0:42:47And to go home with the money. Is he going to take you out to dinner? Yes. Probably only a main and a starter.
0:42:47 > 0:42:51Don't be so horrid. Join us soon for some more bargain hunting. Yes?
0:42:51 > 0:42:53ALL: Yes!
0:42:53 > 0:42:58I know you're sitting there thinking, "I could've done better than that."
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Well, what's stopping you?
0:43:00 > 0:43:04If you think you can spot a bargain, go to our BBC website and apply.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06It'll be splendid to see you.
