0:00:06 > 0:00:09Today, we're in the marvellous Malvern Hills, surrounded by
0:00:09 > 0:00:13the peaks and troughs of the landscape, but that ain't nothing
0:00:13 > 0:00:17in comparison to the roller coaster that's ahead of us.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20So, let's go bargain hunting. Ooh, arr!
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Today, the Three Counties Showground
0:00:51 > 0:00:54plays host to our fair
0:00:54 > 0:00:58and in this place there are 300 stalls, but because the weather's
0:00:58 > 0:01:03so jolly wet, most of our filming's going to happen in these here sheds.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Here's a quick peek as to what's coming up.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10'The Reds know how to haggle for a bargain.'
0:01:10 > 0:01:12- About 8.- 8!- Can you do 8?
0:01:12 > 0:01:13She's got a lovely smile!
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- Yes...- And a good right hook.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21The Blues are planning on having a takeaway.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23- We're going to take him home with us, aren't we?- No!
0:01:25 > 0:01:27'Let's meet today's teams.'
0:01:28 > 0:01:31On the show today, we've got two teams of friends.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Well, they're friends at the moment.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36We've got Helen and Kate for the Reds and
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- Tracy and Karen for the Blues. Hello, everyone. - ALL: Hello.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Now, Helen, how did you two become friends?
0:01:42 > 0:01:46We met about nine years ago through ex-partners who were best friends
0:01:46 > 0:01:48and we started going out as couples,
0:01:48 > 0:01:51but then I got a little job at Kidderminster Police Station,
0:01:51 > 0:01:55which is where Kate works and when we went our separate ways
0:01:55 > 0:01:58with our ex-partners we continued to be the best of friends.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- Well, isn't that nice?- Yeah. - And what do you do for the police?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03I work part-time as a Safer Schools PCSO.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06My main passion is writing children's books,
0:02:06 > 0:02:08which I do more of than the police.
0:02:08 > 0:02:13My latest series is called The Vegetarian Vampire. So...
0:02:13 > 0:02:15- So, he's a bit of a softie, your vampire?- He is, yeah.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17His favourite foods are all red,
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- like, cranberries and strawberries. - Oh, right.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23So, how does he cover up the fact that he doesn't eat meat, then?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- Well, he takes tomato soup. - Does he?- Yeah.- In a flask?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- And he pretends it's blood? - Yeah.- Ah, smashing.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- Now, Kate, do you still work for the police force?- I do, yes.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34I've been there 12 years now. I'm a forensic investigator
0:02:34 > 0:02:36so I examine crime scenes.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38That's quite a business though, isn't it?
0:02:38 > 0:02:42It's mainly burglaries, so I collect forensic evidence to try
0:02:42 > 0:02:45and solve the crimes, like fingerprints, footwear marks...
0:02:45 > 0:02:47And do you like investigating antiques?
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Well, I do. I don't have a huge amount of antiques knowledge.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53The knowledge I do have is based on programmes like this,
0:02:53 > 0:02:57- like watching Bargain Hunt at home. - Everything you know you've learnt on this programme?
0:02:57 > 0:02:59- Pretty much, yeah.- Pretty much. Well, that's good.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Well, you're going to do very well, I can tell you that.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Anyway, great to meet you.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06So, Tracy, you also became friends as a result
0:03:06 > 0:03:08of meeting with your ex-boyfriends.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12- We did, yeah.- Yeah? - Yeah, about 25 years ago.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- Really?- Yes.- There's no need to put any numbers on it.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18You were children at the time.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20And what do you do to earn a buck, Trace?
0:03:20 > 0:03:22I'm an orthopaedic practitioner, which means
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- I basically plaster people's arms and legs...- Do you?
0:03:25 > 0:03:27..when they break bones.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30- Are you setting the bone then? - Yes.- Oh, you are?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33- Oh, my! That's not much fun, is it? - No.- The whole business you do.- Yes.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Oh, my gosh. Now, Karen, tell us about your career, darling, cos
0:03:37 > 0:03:39- you're in the same line of business, aren't you?- Well, I was.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Yes, I was a nurse for 22 years at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital
0:03:43 > 0:03:47in Birmingham, but I now have worked for the last ten years
0:03:47 > 0:03:51for Social Services on a children's team, children with disabilities.
0:03:51 > 0:03:52I bet you're jolly good at it.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Now, do you know anything about antiques, Karen?
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Um, I'd like to think I do!
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Does she? Honestly, Trace.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04- No.- No. OK, fine. That's the honest answer!
0:04:04 > 0:04:07And the honest answer is to take £300 and scoot off
0:04:07 > 0:04:09and I bet you'll do jolly well. There's your £300.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13You know the rules, your experts await and off you go and
0:04:13 > 0:04:15very, very, very good luck.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18We got the police to the right and the nurses to the left,
0:04:18 > 0:04:19what could possibly go wrong?
0:04:21 > 0:04:24You'd be surprised. Now, let's meet our experts.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Spinning round Malvern with the Reds will be
0:04:26 > 0:04:29the lady in red herself...
0:04:29 > 0:04:32And trying to steer the Blues on the road to success will be...
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Helen, what are you after?
0:04:37 > 0:04:40I quite like little, small, pretty, "twinklity" things...
0:04:40 > 0:04:43"Twinklity?" Twinklity! Sparkly? OK.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46You know, I sense a real air of competition.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Oh, yes! You're correct!
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Kate, what about you?
0:04:50 > 0:04:51Possibly a bit of old furniture,
0:04:51 > 0:04:55- something with a bit of age to it, a bit of ironworks, maybe.- Right...
0:04:55 > 0:04:57- Failure's not an option. - Seriously?- Yeah.- Absolutely.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- You two are a bit scary, aren't you?- No!
0:05:00 > 0:05:02- Let's go! Come on!- Brilliant!
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Let's go.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08Armed with their £300 budget, both teams have just an hour
0:05:08 > 0:05:11to find three items to take to auction, so best of luck.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Do we like silver?
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- Love it.- Do you?- Oh, yes. Yes.
0:05:17 > 0:05:18I like a woman with a bit of passion.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21SHE LAUGHS Oh, look at that there.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23A little square. What would you keep in that?
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- It's a pillbox.- Ah!- Ah!- So...for pills.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28- Do you take many?- No.- No?- No.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30If I did, I wouldn't tell you. THEY LAUGH
0:05:30 > 0:05:33That's right. You mind your own business, David. Huh!
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- I like this.- Right, OK.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Now, you know it doesn't have a lot of age to it, don't you?
0:05:39 > 0:05:40No, it's quite young.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42It is quite young, just like what we are,
0:05:42 > 0:05:44but it's a very good make. It's Portmeirion.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47It looks, to me, it looks in perfect condition, doesn't it?
0:05:47 > 0:05:51- Definitely.- So, we'll have a little look at the bottom, shall we?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- And see...- Ah, it's really nice.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57- Yeah, the Botanic Garden...isn't it gorgeous?- It's very...I'd buy that!
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- Yeah, and what about you, Kate? - Yeah, definitely.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02- Would you buy that? - I like the butterflies.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05- It doesn't have age, but does it have value?- Yeah, exactly.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Now, that's the point. Yes, it does.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10I mean, it's not going to have a great, great value at all.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12I would be really happy
0:06:12 > 0:06:14- if we got that at £10.- £10?
0:06:14 > 0:06:18- I think so.- Yeah.- So, do you want to do the negotiating?
0:06:18 > 0:06:19I'll have a go!
0:06:19 > 0:06:23- We're looking at your... - The Portmeirion.- ..Portmeirion bowl.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Now, what's your very best price, please?
0:06:27 > 0:06:29I'll do 15.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31It's a good price. Got to be a profit in 15.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- What about 8?- 8!- Can you do 8?
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- I'll tell you! 8?! - How about we push it to 10?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- I'll do you 10.- You'll do me 10? Fantastic! Brilliant!
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- Thank you very much. - Not a problem.- Thank you.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Wow! That's quick work, Reds.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47That's the first item you've looked at
0:06:47 > 0:06:51and it's in the bag before you can say "Bargain Hunt". Huh! Good work.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54That's under four minutes and we've made our first purchase.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58We don't need an hour. We'll go and have a cuppa, shall we?
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Meanwhile, the Blues are preparing for battle.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- Is it a tie pin or...? - A kilt.- A kilt, possibly.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- Is it a Scottish one?- Yes.- Is it? Have you got a glass?
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Would you mind? Now, come on, then, Tracy, you're an expert in silver.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- No, I don't...! - Come on! Let's date it!
0:07:16 > 0:07:20- I haven't got me glasses on. - Get your eye in.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- Ooh, I don't know.- Oh, honestly! Karen?
0:07:22 > 0:07:23- I'll have a go.- Come on.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Tell me what you see and I'll try and... Go on, tell me what you see.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- I can see a lion.- That's silver.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- I think it might be an anchor. - Anchor, where's that made?- Oh!
0:07:32 > 0:07:34- Where's that made?- Birmingham?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- Birmingham!- And, um, I can't...a W.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39A "W". That's its date.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43Now, Z, W, I think that's...ooh, I haven't got my book with me.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- 1920?- Yes.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47- Ish, ish.- How much is it?
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- 80.- Oh!- Hmm.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51TRADER: 60.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- 60 quid. - That would make a profit, David.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57I think, if you don't mind me saying, I think in auction,
0:07:57 > 0:08:00the safe estimate is 30 to 50, 50 to 70.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03So, you've got a chance.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- Would you accept 50 for it? - 50?- Please?
0:08:06 > 0:08:08TRADER: Eh...50.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- Thank you very much.- Have we done it? - Thank you.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13You two do not muck about!
0:08:13 > 0:08:15- Thank you very much. - That was such a nice lady.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- You've had less than five minutes. - I know.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20- Now, come on now, let's have a proper mooch.- OK.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22- Thank you very much indeed. - Thank you so much.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24'Yeah, you get mooching, Trace.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27'Once again, incredibly quick work, Blues.'
0:08:27 > 0:08:31It's now one-all, and it looks like Helen is on a mission.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- There might be something sparkly and nice in here.- Something sparkly.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36- Let's have a look.- Yeah.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Oh, look at that! "Don'ts For Wives!"
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Oh, how funny is that?!
0:08:41 > 0:08:43I've obviously never read that!
0:08:43 > 0:08:46It seems Tracy is issuing David with a challenge.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Has he finally met his match?
0:08:48 > 0:08:49Guess what it is!
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Oh, I love competitions!
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- I already know, you see. - Let me have a handle of it.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- Well, you're not...OK. - I won't look at the ticket.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01I can't say I have ever seen anything like it.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Something to do with cigarettes.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04Yes.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06It's a rotating cigarette box, isn't it?
0:09:06 > 0:09:08No.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- It's a smoke...it's a... - It's a match...
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- No, it's not for matches, is it? - Yes!- Is it?
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- Whoa! Isn't that fantastic. - Isn't it lovely?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Look at that.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Oh, that is nice, yeah. What sort...?
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Now, that is very unusual, because those matches are...
0:09:24 > 0:09:29- Are the original.- Are contemporary to that.- Yeah.- Which is probably 1920s.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33- Is it EPNS? - Oh, it's definite EPNS.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Now, then, what does EPNS stand for?
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Electroplated nickel...plated silver, or something like that.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- Electroplated nickel silver.- Oh, very good, Karen!- Isn't she good?
0:09:42 > 0:09:45And if you've never seen one like it before, that's a good thing.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Never, never. I've never seen anything like it.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49How much do you reckon it's worth?
0:09:49 > 0:09:51- It's not worth £200.- No, no.- No.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- And it's not worth a tenner. - No.- Yeah.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57I think, if I put that into sale, I'd say it's a novelty thing,
0:09:57 > 0:09:58£30 to £50.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- Right.- See what happens. - Yeah.- It's mad.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03It suits you two!
0:10:03 > 0:10:04THEY LAUGH
0:10:04 > 0:10:05We are mad!
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- I'll take that as a compliment. - It's a great compliment, yeah.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Beautiful, yet a bit mad.
0:10:10 > 0:10:11- A one-off!- Yeah.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17- Well, why don't you see if you can get it for 20 quid?- Yes.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- He seems ever such a nice man. - Go on, woo him.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Watch out for some wooing here!
0:10:22 > 0:10:24TRADER: How much are you going to offer me then?
0:10:24 > 0:10:25£20? Please!
0:10:25 > 0:10:27- £25 and you've got a bargain.- Oh!
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Please! Please! Please!
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Could we give you a kiss on both cheeks...?
0:10:31 > 0:10:32Not in front of the wife!
0:10:32 > 0:10:34- ..for 20?- Would you mind if we give him a kiss? - WIFE: No.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37"Oh, help yourself," she said! Help yourself! Come on!
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Let's get in there! £20, please, with a kiss.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42We'll shake your hand and give you a kiss.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43Oh, all right.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45- You're lovely, lovely! - Well, come on, then.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53I'd like to say, "Game, set and match," but these girls
0:10:53 > 0:10:54have yet to find one more item,
0:10:54 > 0:10:58but 15 minutes in, two items down is pretty good going.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Meanwhile, this shopping lark
0:11:00 > 0:11:03seems to be keeping our Reds pretty well hooked.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- It's like Long John Silver!- You wouldn't use that one for buttons, would you?
0:11:06 > 0:11:08No! No! That isn't a button hook!
0:11:08 > 0:11:10No! That's for jolly big buttons!
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Hey! There's a truncheon there.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Oh, gosh. Well, you're both working in the police.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17- You don't use that in forensics, do you?- No!
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Sort of past the forensics stage once you've used that.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21How much is it, please, sir?
0:11:21 > 0:11:23It's £18.
0:11:23 > 0:11:28- I'm not sure there's a great profit in it.- I think £5.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Would you be willing to go £5?
0:11:30 > 0:11:32What? From 18? No!
0:11:32 > 0:11:3315, I'd say.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Nice try, Helen.
0:11:35 > 0:11:36- Why don't we put it down, have a think?- Yeah.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40And we have got just short of 40 minutes
0:11:40 > 0:11:41and we can come back to that.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45That's right, Caroline. Just over 20 minutes gone.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49When Robert Peel established his police force in 1829,
0:11:49 > 0:11:52they were to be unarmed except for a truncheon,
0:11:52 > 0:11:54which was to be used for self-defence.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58The early decorative versions have become the most valuable,
0:11:58 > 0:12:00some even fetching over £500.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Time to catch up with the Blues, who, it seems,
0:12:04 > 0:12:06are still playing guessing games.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10- I thought it might be a fire... - Fire poker.- ..but it's not.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13It's too short. I think you'd burn your hand if you did that.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15So, come on, tell us. What's it for?
0:12:15 > 0:12:17I believe it is a meat skewer.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- I was going to say that.- Oh, really? - Yeah.- I was going to say that.- Yeah.
0:12:20 > 0:12:25- It could be a meat skewer.- So, for serving at a very posh dinner party.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Date wise, what instinct do we have?
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- Well, it's Victorian. - How'd you know that?
0:12:30 > 0:12:32- It says on there. - THEY LAUGH
0:12:33 > 0:12:37Now, when you say Victorian, what date is that?
0:12:37 > 0:12:38I'd say 1880.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40- Is that Victorian?- No.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42- Of course it is!- Is it?
0:12:44 > 0:12:471837 to 1901. Anywhere in there, it's Victorian.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Let's leave the meat skewer... I mean, I think it's a meat skewer.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53What? Is it a...? Do you feel it's a meat skewer?
0:12:53 > 0:12:55No, it's a knife sharpener.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57- A knife sharpener?- Oh, yes!
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- It's been well used over the years. - Oh, I see.- It's just been...
0:13:00 > 0:13:04OK, well, we might come back for the sharpener/skewer later.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Huh! Back to Caroline now as she's about to share
0:13:07 > 0:13:09some beauty tips with the Reds.
0:13:09 > 0:13:10Do you know what it is?
0:13:10 > 0:13:12- No.- A giant pair of tweezers!
0:13:12 > 0:13:16No! It's not a tuning fork and not a giant pair of tweezers.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- May I have a look, sir? - Yes.- What it is...
0:13:18 > 0:13:22Have you heard of a marcel wave in your hair?
0:13:22 > 0:13:26It's a curl, a form of curl that used to be done in about 1920s,
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- 1930s.- OK.- And these are French.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30You can see here,
0:13:30 > 0:13:33"Veritable per ondulateur marcel."
0:13:33 > 0:13:35You would heat these,
0:13:35 > 0:13:39and then put your hair in, turn them round and, voila,
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- you would have your marcel wave in your hair.- Fabulous!- Yeah.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45I don't know that there's a great use for them nowadays.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48We've all got straighteners and curlers and things,
0:13:48 > 0:13:52but they're really fun and they're not a tuning fork.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55# Keep young and beautiful... #
0:13:55 > 0:13:57We all like to keep young and beautiful, Caroline.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59# Wear a marcel wave in your hair... #
0:13:59 > 0:14:03Back to the Blues with our action man of the moment.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- We don't need an Action Man! We've got you!- Aw!
0:14:06 > 0:14:07Thank you very much indeed.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Yes, I model myself on Action Man, actually.
0:14:10 > 0:14:11Look at the hairstyle.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Come on, girls, let's have a go.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19All right, Blues. How do you feel it's going?
0:14:19 > 0:14:22- David's been really helpful, hasn't he?- Oh, he's been so helpful.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25- Yeah, he's really... - And he's gorgeous as well.- Yes.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27- We're going to take him home with us, aren't we?- No.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Well, you can't have him anyway. He's ours.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Now, this, I think, is lovely.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Do you like it, Kate?
0:14:36 > 0:14:40- Not particularly.- Ah, OK, OK. - It's not really me...- No.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43..but, I can see that it's pretty.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46- The lily of the valley.- Is it hand-painted?- Yes.- Can you feel that? Ridges.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Yes. It's a very pretty little thing.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52A lot of detail's gone into it, a lot of work's gone into it.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Would you give us that for £15?
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- TRADER: 18 would be the best. - That's a nice Victorian one.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00- What'd you reckon? 18?- It happens to be my favourite flower,
0:15:00 > 0:15:03but don't let that sway you...
0:15:03 > 0:15:06at all. You don't like it, do you?
0:15:06 > 0:15:09No, but I can see its attraction, I can.
0:15:09 > 0:15:14- TRADER: There's money left in it. - I think it's very nice quality.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16- It's Victorian.- Yeah.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Would you not come to 15 for us?
0:15:19 > 0:15:23- Honestly, it would be making a mockery of the price!- Yeah.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25That includes wrapping, mind, and a bag.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28- Oh! - THEY LAUGH
0:15:28 > 0:15:32- Shall we go with that? Yes, I think so. Thank you, sir.- Thank you!
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Thank you.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37So, £18 buys the Reds their second item.
0:15:37 > 0:15:38Well done! It's two-all.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Now, back to David, who's putting the Blues through their paces.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45So, seeing as we've got a bit of a competition theme going here,
0:15:45 > 0:15:49and I love competitions, you've tested me, I've tested you.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51- Here comes another test. - Go on, then.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53- Strictly speaking...- Yeah.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56If it's Art Deco, it dates to,
0:15:56 > 0:15:59not before what date?
0:15:59 > 0:16:001970?
0:16:00 > 0:16:02DAVID SCOFFS
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Quite close. Karen?
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- About Victorian.- Really?- About 1920.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09- DAVID LAUGHS - Is it?
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Right, I'm completely confused, because you said Victorian,
0:16:12 > 0:16:15but 1920. You're very close, but that wasn't the Victorian period.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19- Strictly speaking, not before 1925.- Ah!- Really?
0:16:19 > 0:16:23Because Art Deco, the term, was coined after
0:16:23 > 0:16:27the Arts and Decorative Fair, Paris, 1925...
0:16:27 > 0:16:31- Ah, I see.- ..when that shape really hit the market.- I like it, but...
0:16:31 > 0:16:34I think it's quite a good price as well.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Well, you see, Karen, some people have got taste, you see?
0:16:37 > 0:16:40No, she's done very well with the match thing.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- We'll move on.- We're not going to go with the Art Deco clock.- No.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47- We've both got to like it. - Come on, then. Come on, then.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Time is certainly starting to fly by.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Just 15 minutes left, teams!
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- Do I like what? - Are they not a compass?
0:16:55 > 0:16:57No, they're not a compass.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00It is actually a pocket watch.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02- Oh, OK. - How do you cope with her, Kate?
0:17:02 > 0:17:04I think she needs an injection of hot chocolate.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Oh, I think she needs something, yes.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10The search for bargains continues. Aye-aye!
0:17:10 > 0:17:12What have the Reds spotted here?
0:17:12 > 0:17:14What have you found, Kate?
0:17:14 > 0:17:18- A circular chair!- Yes! Yes.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19Now, it's a bentwood chair.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Is it comfortable? Can I sit in it?
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Do you want me to sit in it, then you can sit in it?
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- THEY LAUGH - Actually, that is quite comfy. Yeah.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29It's good condition, it's great,
0:17:29 > 0:17:33but I really would be happy to see it an awful lot less.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36- So, do you want to do your magic, but...?- I can try.- I would think...
0:17:36 > 0:17:37About 30?
0:17:39 > 0:17:41It does, really.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44We like this chair, but we feel it's a little bit too expensive.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Right.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49We'd be looking more at 30, if you'd consider that.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Uh...no, I can't do that.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52You can't do that. OK.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56- The best I can do is 45. - 45.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59What about 40, would you come down a little bit more for us?
0:17:59 > 0:18:0140 I can do.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03I would be much happier if it was 30,
0:18:03 > 0:18:05but, obviously, the gentleman has a profit to make.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- He's shaking his head at 30. - A profit to make, yeah.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- I really, really can't do... - What about 38?
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Could you come down just £2 more for us?
0:18:16 > 0:18:17She's got a lovely smile.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20- Yes.- And a good right hook.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22Go on. 38...
0:18:22 > 0:18:25- 38, brilliant. Thank you.- Thank you so much.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Nice negotiation, Helen. Well done, Reds.
0:18:28 > 0:18:29That's all three items in the bag.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33Now, if the Blues could just brush up slightly, they'd be there too.
0:18:34 > 0:18:39- Oh, I like that. Look at that. - Oh, that's very posh.
0:18:39 > 0:18:40It is nice, but...
0:18:40 > 0:18:44I bet that might be too posh for us, cos it's a ladies, or gents,
0:18:44 > 0:18:46dressing table set.
0:18:46 > 0:18:47- Yeah.- How much is it?
0:18:47 > 0:18:51TRADER: I've got 120 on it, but you can get it for 100.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55- Is it hallmarked?- It's hallmarked. - Yeah. Do we have a date on it?
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- It's going to be 1930s by style. - Yes, it is. Yeah.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01So, you've got... Oh, dear. Five minutes.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04So, it's this or...? Would you do it for 90?
0:19:04 > 0:19:05- No.- No.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07He makes a quick decision.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11It's this or the knife sharpener, isn't it?
0:19:11 > 0:19:14This is quite commercial, I've got to say.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16- Hmm.- Um...
0:19:16 > 0:19:19I prefer this to the knife sharpener, to be honest with you.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22And I liked it, so, go on, then. Shall we?
0:19:22 > 0:19:26I... You're taking a chance and it's always good to take a chance.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29It might go very badly wrong, at which point I will disappear.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31I've got a good feeling about it.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Well, we come with nothing, didn't we? So...
0:19:33 > 0:19:35You'll be going home with nowt as well.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36Shake his hand.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44'Excellent work, Blues. You've now completed your shopping task.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46'Congratulations.'
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Time's up! Well...
0:19:48 > 0:19:49it is for him.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Let's check out what the Red team bought. Waah!
0:19:54 > 0:19:58They planted a £10 note on this Portmeirion bowl
0:19:58 > 0:20:01decorated in the Botanic Garden pattern.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04The glass water bottle, painted with lilies of the valley,
0:20:04 > 0:20:05cost them £18.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11And they spent a sturdy £38 on a bentwood open armchair.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15I think you look very happy,
0:20:15 > 0:20:17but a little birdie told me that you didn't spend very much.
0:20:17 > 0:20:18How much did you spend?
0:20:18 > 0:20:20- £66.- Is that all?!
0:20:20 > 0:20:22- On all three items?- Yes.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25You're girls! Can't you go out and spend?!
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Well, we had a tactic, you see.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30You're less likely to lose lots of money if you spend less
0:20:30 > 0:20:34- and maybe make more.- I see, I see. OK, well, you could well be right.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36We shall find out at the auction in a minute, won't we?
0:20:36 > 0:20:38OK, which is your favourite piece?
0:20:38 > 0:20:40- Um, probably the chair that we saw at the end.- Yeah.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43OK, that's your favourite favourite. Do you agree with that?
0:20:43 > 0:20:45- I agree with that.- Is that going to bring the biggest profit?
0:20:45 > 0:20:48- Probably the bowl.- Yes, I think Helen's choice, the bowl,
0:20:48 > 0:20:50- will probably bring the biggest profit.- All right, fine.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53I would like £234, a phenomenal amount of cash.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Have you got that, darling? Thank you very much.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58OK, well, it goes from the sublime to the ridiculous for you,
0:20:58 > 0:21:01doesn't it? So, what are you going to do with all that?
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- I've got a few ideas.- "Spend the lot" type ideas?- Possibly.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07There's one or two. One, spend a little, one, spend a whole lot.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Yes, well, you're not going to give the game away, are you?
0:21:10 > 0:21:12- No, I'm certainly not. - Definitely not.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13Well, you keep your lips sealed.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Anyway, good luck with that, and we're going to check out
0:21:15 > 0:21:18right now what the Blue team bought, right?
0:21:18 > 0:21:22They went into battle with this Scottish silver brooch
0:21:22 > 0:21:25formed as a broadsword, which cost them £50.
0:21:25 > 0:21:30A metal revolving match dispenser cost them a smoking £20.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34And, finally, they paid a well-groomed £100 for
0:21:34 > 0:21:36the silver six-piece dressing table set.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42- We didn't get anything medical. I can't believe it.- No.- Never mind.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Well, I'm very please you didn't cos I'm quite squeamish, me.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49- Anyway, did you have a nice time, Tracy?- Lovely, thank you, yes.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51- Now, which is your favourite piece?- The...
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- second thing we bought, which was a matchstick holder.- Oh, yeah.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56The thing with a circle, I can't remember.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59- We don't know how to describe it!- I don't really know the real name
0:21:59 > 0:22:01- for it.- It sounds marvellous...
0:22:01 > 0:22:05whatever it is, girls! You've done very, very well with that.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Just stick with the medical stuff, all right? Anyway...
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Now, Karen, which is your favourite thingumajig?
0:22:11 > 0:22:15Well, I do like the matchstick holder thingy as well,
0:22:15 > 0:22:18but, I quite liked the kilt pin.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- Did you?- Yes. - Was that your favourite favourite?
0:22:21 > 0:22:25- Probably.- OK, Tracy. Sum up all your descriptive powers here.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Which piece will bring the biggest profit?
0:22:28 > 0:22:33- The odd matchstick holder type round thing.- OK.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36That's most of the programme used up. Great.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38And how much did you spend all round?
0:22:38 > 0:22:41- 170, yeah.- Yeah.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43- Crikey! - I've had to spend an hour with them!
0:22:45 > 0:22:47It's a miracle you ever started!
0:22:47 > 0:22:52- Anyway, £170, so, £130 of leftover lolly, please.- Yes. Oh...
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Yes, you've got to hand it back.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56Now, give it...
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- Here you go.- She likes to hold it!
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Very good luck, girls. So, you can go and have a cup of tea.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06Harper goes off on the hunt and I'm going to take you to
0:23:06 > 0:23:10look at something tribal that I found recently on my travels.
0:23:16 > 0:23:21Well, just take a gander of what you can achieve in these fairs.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25For a kick off, these four naive chip carvings.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Tribal and, in my opinion, West African.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31These are everyday objects that a tribal member would have
0:23:31 > 0:23:37used for a specific purpose and this one is in the form of a humanoid.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40You've got eyes and a nose and a little mouth. Look!
0:23:40 > 0:23:44And then, the shaft of this stick has been eccentrically
0:23:44 > 0:23:48cut like that using a blunt old knife using another nick here
0:23:48 > 0:23:54and I fancy what you did in your tribal setup was to wind some
0:23:54 > 0:23:58sort of string or length of wool or leather around the middle
0:23:58 > 0:24:02of this thing. In other words, it's a kind of skein holder, if you like.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Now, this one is clearly related,
0:24:05 > 0:24:07possibly carved by the same hand,
0:24:07 > 0:24:11but if you look at the end here, it's seriously rotted away
0:24:11 > 0:24:14and what I like about these two is, they've got some colouring.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15Bands of white, look,
0:24:15 > 0:24:21and some rather suspicious looking blood red painted around the middle.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23These two are even cruder.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24Same sort of idea for this,
0:24:24 > 0:24:29but I think he's been buried or some termites have got at him.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33This one is a good example to show that there's some age to
0:24:33 > 0:24:34these carvings.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38And I guess they could be as old as 19th century.
0:24:38 > 0:24:43Anyway, four very interesting naive tribal carvings.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47Now, if you'd gone around the corner, you might have found,
0:24:47 > 0:24:50on the adjacent stall, one of these.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Look at that.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54The same sort of idea.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58A utilitarian object, ie, a slingshot,
0:24:58 > 0:25:02so you've taken the fork in a tree
0:25:02 > 0:25:05and used it for a practical purpose
0:25:05 > 0:25:07to create a little slingshot
0:25:07 > 0:25:11and this one too has been carved with a human head.
0:25:11 > 0:25:16Now, a lot of the tribal hairdos are incredibly elaborate,
0:25:16 > 0:25:22either beaded or knotted or plaited in some elaborate sense and
0:25:22 > 0:25:25therefore, if you were in that part of the world, you'd
0:25:25 > 0:25:27desperately need one of these.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30No opportunity to pop down to the chemists and get a comb
0:25:30 > 0:25:32though, you had to make it yourself.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36In this case, out of these little slivers of wood which have
0:25:36 > 0:25:41been beautifully bound with this honeycomb binding to a handle
0:25:41 > 0:25:44that's then applied with a long length of copper wire.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Aren't they marvellous? Well, I think they are.
0:25:48 > 0:25:53And inexpensive. These four would cost you £10 each.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56The slingshot base would cost you £15
0:25:56 > 0:25:59and the little comb a further £15.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03So, that is £70 for the group and at £70, that is
0:26:03 > 0:26:07a fraction of the cost of the air ticket to get you to West Africa.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24Well, well, well. Here we are in Philip's saleroom.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26How many yards is it between here and the showground?
0:26:26 > 0:26:30- I think it's about 2,000 paces. - Well, it's very nice to be here.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32- Dead handy.- Yeah.- Lovely.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36Now, the Reds went for a kick-off with the Portmeirion bowl.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39- It's not the oldest thing we've ever had.- No, it's not.- But...
0:26:39 > 0:26:42that would have been quite an expensive object to go and buy
0:26:42 > 0:26:46and Portmeirion's quite collectable. I could see that making around £20.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Can you? Lovely. Well, they paid 10. So, there's no problem.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51- No, that's fine.- This, I think, is absolutely charming, don't you?
0:26:51 > 0:26:53- Yeah, yeah. - I mean, it would have been, I guess,
0:26:53 > 0:26:55a whole sort of set of these
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- little scent decanters and maybe a pin trail, that kind of thing.- Yeah.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02- Where would you date that to, Tim? - I should think about 1900.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04- Yeah, I see that making £20 as well. - Do you?
0:27:04 > 0:27:07- That's OK, they paid £18. - Oh, that's OK.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10In fact, this team paid practically nothing for anything,
0:27:10 > 0:27:13including this schoolroom type, Thonet type bentwood chair.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Well, there's a bit of a theme developing here,
0:27:16 > 0:27:18cos guess what I think that's going to make?
0:27:18 > 0:27:20- About £20.- Yeah, spot on. - Well, there you go.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24- What did they pay for it?- 38.- OK, not so good, then.- Not really.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27It's the sort of thing that, um, I mean, it wouldn't surprise me
0:27:27 > 0:27:28if it did make £50,
0:27:28 > 0:27:31but I think our estimate at £20 to £30 is probably about right.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Yeah, in which case they're going to come away from this
0:27:34 > 0:27:37at about right, in which case they don't really need their
0:27:37 > 0:27:41bonus buy, but we might just as well go and have a look at it anyway.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Well, well, well. What's happened to Helen?
0:27:43 > 0:27:45I'm afraid she's poorly, Tim. She can't be here today.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Oh, what a shame. And you only spent £66,
0:27:47 > 0:27:51which meant that Caroline went off with £244.
0:27:51 > 0:27:52What did you spend it on, Caroline?
0:27:53 > 0:27:56I spent it on...this.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00- Oh, wow.- A Chinese vase.- Excellent.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04Beautifully applied with these dragons coming round, the dogs of foo here.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08- There's a little bit of restoration to the lip.- OK.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11- I would say it's 19th century. - Uh-huh.- Good quality.
0:28:11 > 0:28:16- It's a good decorative piece.- Ask her how much it's going to bring.
0:28:16 > 0:28:17How much did it cost you?
0:28:17 > 0:28:23- It cost me £150.- OK. And how much do you think it will make?
0:28:23 > 0:28:29- I think it'll make just a bit more than that, towards 200 possibly.- OK.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32- It's really a la mode at the moment. - OK.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35It's good colour, good size...yeah, have a look.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38I want to see how heavy it is. Excellent.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41Our forensic scientist is going to look at it and tell us
0:28:41 > 0:28:43whether there's any restoration now, right?
0:28:43 > 0:28:46Anyway, good, we've got a prediction as to profit, which is lovely.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48You don't have to decide right now.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51You might like to ring Helen and consult with her in the meanwhile,
0:28:51 > 0:28:54but, right now, for the audience at home, let's find out what
0:28:54 > 0:28:57the auctioneer thinks about Caroline's Chinese pot.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02Right, then, Phil. A bit of Chinese, your favourite.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04Yeah, well, we've had a lot of interest in this, actually,
0:29:04 > 0:29:09from the old t'internet and, um, I'm not convinced it's that old.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12I think it's probably 20th century, but I think it's got
0:29:12 > 0:29:15a bit of mileage on that, and we've put 120 to 180 on it.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19Very good cos Caroline's invested. She's popped £150 into that pot.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22- Well, good girl. Good girl. So, she's got some confidence in it.- She has.
0:29:22 > 0:29:26- Well, it's the condition issue that goes in its favour, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Cos it's ready to go.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32A bit like me. Now, that's it for the Reds. Now, for the Blues.
0:29:32 > 0:29:36We kick on with their brooch, the Scottish brooch.
0:29:36 > 0:29:37I think that's quite sweet
0:29:37 > 0:29:40and the fact that it's Scottish is going to help it, I think, hugely.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44- Hmm.- I think we put, what? £40 to £60 on it.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46A good following might make 80 quid.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48- And it's got a nice bit of detailing to it.- Yeah, I think that's OK.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52- Will it make £50?- I would be disappointed if it didn't.- Right.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56- Then you got this revolving match... - Revolting? Did you say revolting?
0:29:56 > 0:29:59- No, revolving.- Oh, revolving! Sorry, my mistake.- No, no, not at all.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01So, what don't you like about it?
0:30:01 > 0:30:04Wouldn't it be easier to tell you what I do like about it?
0:30:04 > 0:30:05What do you like about it?
0:30:05 > 0:30:09- Nothing.- OK.- I think, right, you've got the...
0:30:09 > 0:30:13Whenever you do anything with these, you're never going to replace them.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15- Mm-hm. - The match strike is missing here.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17Well, it comes from some other place, doesn't it?
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Like Bulgaria or Romania or somewhere in Europe.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23I quite like the novelty bit of it, I have to say,
0:30:23 > 0:30:26and there are these people called phillumenologists, you know.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28- You ever come across one? - No, not lately.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32No, well, a phillumenologist is a man who is really potty about
0:30:32 > 0:30:34matches, and if a phillumenologist picks up on this thing,
0:30:34 > 0:30:37I tell you, he could go bonkers. What's your estimate?
0:30:37 > 0:30:38- Five quid.- OK, £20 they paid.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41So, they'll be lucky if they get their money back,
0:30:41 > 0:30:43but you never know, you might ignite some interest.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45Oh, I've been wrong on more occasions than
0:30:45 > 0:30:47- I care to remember, Tim.- OK, fine.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51- Moving on, we've got the classic saleroom entry.- Yes.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53- Grandma's dressing table set. - Absolutely.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57- Complete with original brushes. - Yeah.
0:30:57 > 0:30:58These things do not get used,
0:30:58 > 0:31:01- they don't get seen and they tend to just get melted really.- Hmm.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04- Well, you've got a jolly nice hand mirror though.- It's lovely.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08Which is practical and OK for today and I daresay the comb's not
0:31:08 > 0:31:12too bad, but the brushes...this is where I find it so difficult.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15Would you want to brush your hair with somebody else's old brushes?
0:31:15 > 0:31:19- No.- No.- We've put £50 to £75 on it. - Did you?- Yeah.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22- Silver price up or down, I take your point.- Yeah.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24But I think it probably will make around £100.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27- It would be nice if it did.- But the time you've pushed it really hard.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30- We'll try very, very hard.- OK, well, you're very, very trying.- Yes.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32- No! - TIM LAUGHS
0:31:32 > 0:31:35- OK, well, there's some potential there.- Yeah.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37But, on the probability of probability,
0:31:37 > 0:31:40they'll need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44OK, David Harper.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46Show us what you spent £130 on.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49OK, very appropriate for you two, something medical.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52- I think you'll really appreciate this.- Oh.- Oh, yes.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54Just, when I saw it, I thought of you two.
0:31:55 > 0:31:56THEY LAUGH
0:31:58 > 0:32:01- Thank you, David.- It's my pleasure. Do you know what it is?- No.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04- It's quite cute, actually.- It is cute. It's got a lovely look.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07What does it say on the front then, Trace?
0:32:07 > 0:32:11- Well, it's got a little tap, so that's for fluid of some kind.- Yes.
0:32:11 > 0:32:16It's French and it says, "A veritable", that means it's real,
0:32:16 > 0:32:22- "irrigateur system". So, I fancy this is for the enema.- It is!
0:32:22 > 0:32:25Well done! It's Victorian. Look at the quality.
0:32:25 > 0:32:32So, it's 1870, 1890, so well engineered. That's why I love it.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36- David, how much did you pay for it? - I bet you paid quite a lot for that.
0:32:36 > 0:32:40- Yeah.- £40 did you pay? - No, I bet he paid about 60.
0:32:40 > 0:32:41- Yeah, yeah...20.- Did you?
0:32:42 > 0:32:46I think because it's so off the wall, it's so quirky,
0:32:46 > 0:32:49- it could make 40 or 60.- Yes. - It's different, it's medical,
0:32:49 > 0:32:53- and some people do collect macabre sort of...- They do, don't they?
0:32:53 > 0:32:56Anyway, there it is then. £20 worth of enema machine.
0:32:56 > 0:33:00- We don't sell many of these every week.- Worth every penny.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02Let's find out whether our auctioneer of the moment is
0:33:02 > 0:33:04fond of the enema machine.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Well, this is a bit tasty, Phil.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12- Yeah.- I mean, we like a bit of kitchenalia, don't we?- Yeah.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15I think this has come from a slightly smaller room in the house.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18- How are you on medical equipment? - Well...- From a sensitive area.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20It has a novelty value. Do you know?
0:33:20 > 0:33:24I found one of these on the internet that sold and it made,
0:33:24 > 0:33:26I don't know, 28 quid or something like that,
0:33:26 > 0:33:29- so, bizarrely, there's more than one of these around.- Hmm.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32Well, I think this man went into production, didn't he?
0:33:32 > 0:33:34Because he said this is a number two, right?
0:33:34 > 0:33:35A number two!
0:33:35 > 0:33:38This is a Paris Number Two.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41So, presumably, there's a number one somewhere.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44- It's going to make £20 to £30. - Do you reckon?- I think so, yeah.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46- Following the estimate that you've seen elsewhere.- Yeah.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50On the other hand, the team may be so disgusted by this
0:33:50 > 0:33:54- device that they won't go with it anyway and there we are.- Well...
0:33:54 > 0:33:57- Happy with that?- Elated. - Yeah? I'm deflated.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02At £600. We're done then at 600
0:34:02 > 0:34:05and done. Thank you. Your number is...
0:34:05 > 0:34:08- This is Kate's first ever auction. - Never!
0:34:08 > 0:34:10You've never been to a saleroom before?!
0:34:10 > 0:34:14- No!- Now you have to be here alone, which is what's so miserable!
0:34:14 > 0:34:17- You haven't got Helen to support you.- No, I haven't.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19But, see this lot, it's absolutely jam-packed.
0:34:19 > 0:34:23You can't get a sheet of Bronco between the bidders, they're that
0:34:23 > 0:34:27- tightly jammed into the saleroom, which is a good sign, actually.- OK.
0:34:27 > 0:34:28- And they're bidding up nicely.- Yeah.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30And I'd say the auction's going very well.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34And the first item up is the Portmeirion bowl and here it comes.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37I bid £10 on the book. 10, 20.
0:34:37 > 0:34:41A bid at 20. At £20 only. At 20, 30,
0:34:41 > 0:34:4340. 50.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45- 50!- £50 right at the back.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47At £50, only at 50.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50Any more at all? At £50 right at the back
0:34:50 > 0:34:53and I sell then at 50 and done. Thank you.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56- £50. Thank you very much, is plus £40.- Oh, my God!
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Just as quick as a wink. I told you! Now, your water bottle.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04£30 to start me. Quickly, 30.
0:35:04 > 0:35:0920. 10's a shout, quickly. 10, everywhere at 10. Quickly. 20 now.
0:35:09 > 0:35:14- At 10, 20, 20 bid. Your bid, sir. At £20, only.- You're out of trouble.
0:35:14 > 0:35:18- Yeah.- At 20, an early bid. Any more at all?
0:35:18 > 0:35:22At £20, there's the bid and I sell then at 20 and done. Thank you.
0:35:22 > 0:35:26£20 is plus £2, so that's brilliant. Now, your armchair.
0:35:26 > 0:35:32The Thonet style chair, lot number 213, bid me for that. £60 to start.
0:35:33 > 0:35:34Bid me 50.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39- Oh, Lord.- Oh, Lordy! - Oh!- 20, someone, quickly.
0:35:39 > 0:35:4520, I am bid at 20. At £20 only at 20. There's the bid, £20 only at 20.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49Any more? At 20, 20 bid. Is there any more?
0:35:49 > 0:35:52At 30, 40. One more.
0:35:52 > 0:35:57- 40 bid.- 40! 40! - One more.- Look at that.- 40 bid.
0:35:57 > 0:36:02- You've been seated at 40. £40 only. Any more at all at £40?- 40.
0:36:02 > 0:36:07You've made a profit on each lot. You have made a profit on each lot
0:36:07 > 0:36:09- at £40...- At £40 and done and away.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13- Yes!- Yes!- That is so good! Plus £2 on that, which means, overall,
0:36:13 > 0:36:15you're plus 44.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17You made a profit on every single lot, which is
0:36:17 > 0:36:19something to report to
0:36:19 > 0:36:23- the invalid in bed. Now... - Oh, I wish Helen was here.
0:36:23 > 0:36:28Now, are you going to go with the bonus buy, which cost £150?
0:36:28 > 0:36:30I think I might have to leave it.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32OK, no, it's absolutely up to you, Kate, that's...
0:36:32 > 0:36:35- I mean, it's the responsibility... - It is.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37I'm in profit already, I don't want to risk it.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39- So, you're not going to go with the bonus buy?- No.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41You're going to keep the £44 in your back pocket.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44We're going to sell it anyway and here it comes.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46The Chinese vase, bid me for that.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48Who's got a couple of hundred to start me?
0:36:48 > 0:36:49200.
0:36:50 > 0:36:55200 I am bid on the net at 200. At £200 only.
0:36:55 > 0:36:56At £200 only, internet bid.
0:36:56 > 0:37:01At 200, is there any more? At 200 only, any more at all.
0:37:01 > 0:37:07The maiden bid, the first bid, and only bid, look, is £200.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10£200. Well done, Caroline. Is a profit of £50.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12You didn't go with your bonus buy.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15You've got a profit on every other item though,

0:37:41 > 0:37:44- No.- No idea.- No, no. Poor Kate. - All on her own, eh?

0:38:32 > 0:38:33- That's all right.- 50's 50.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36- Oof, this is the one. - The match dispenser.

0:38:59 > 0:39:02That's marvellous, girls. Look at that. You've doubled your money.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05That is plus £20. How good is that?
0:39:05 > 0:39:07£5, he doesn't know what he talks about.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10Here we go. Now, the dressing table set. This is dodgy.

0:39:50 > 0:39:53You decide, Kate. Go on, you decide.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56Well, I think for £20, I think someone will definitely...

0:39:58 > 0:40:01- Let's do it, yeah, yeah. - We're going to go with it.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03- They're going with it.- And I don't blame you, quite frankly.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06Now, that you've decided that you're going with the enema machine,
0:40:06 > 0:40:10I can tell you that Philip has puffed it up to £20 to £30.
0:40:10 > 0:40:14- OK, interesting. - So, he fancies it. Here we go then.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17If you've got everything in your life, this is, well...
0:40:17 > 0:40:20There we go, the enema machine. Who's got £30?
0:40:20 > 0:40:23Who needs it? No, I won't go there... Who's got £30?

0:40:52 > 0:40:56Look at that. £40. You are plus £20, which means
0:40:56 > 0:40:57overall you are plus £40.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00- Brilliant!- How cool is that, girls? - Oh, fantastic. Marvellous.
0:41:00 > 0:41:04This could be a winning score, girls. Don't say a word to the Red.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06- OK.- The Red!- The Red!
0:41:15 > 0:41:18Well, it's no secret that both teams are
0:41:18 > 0:41:22- substantially in profit.- Wahey! - Oh!
0:41:22 > 0:41:26Everybody's going home with folding money and I can reveal that
0:41:26 > 0:41:32there's only £4 in it between the two teams today.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34- Ooh, that's close! - Oh, that's too close!
0:41:34 > 0:41:36Bottom-clenchingly close!
0:41:37 > 0:41:39You had to do it, Tim!
0:41:39 > 0:41:42Well, what I have to tell you is...
0:41:42 > 0:41:45marginally behind are...
0:41:45 > 0:41:47- the Blues. - ALL: Oh!
0:41:47 > 0:41:50- Not to worry. - Which is very, very sad, really,
0:41:50 > 0:41:53cos you had a wiped face, you made a £20 profit,
0:41:53 > 0:41:57you had another wiped face and then your enema came up tops.
0:41:58 > 0:41:59Or bottoms!
0:41:59 > 0:42:02That's £40. How do you feel about this?
0:42:02 > 0:42:04- Absolutely marvellous.- There we go, it's folding money,
0:42:04 > 0:42:06- which is marvellous.- Thank you. - I congratulate you.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09You've been great sports, you girls. Well done, Dave.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13It's been a hoot, I tell you, and almost as much a hoot as
0:42:13 > 0:42:16it's been for the Reds, but, sadly, without Hels.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19- I know, I really wish she was here. - So, here comes your £44
0:42:19 > 0:42:22- and here's the £4 to make the total. - Thank you.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26And, of course, because you made a substantial profit on every item.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28- No!- No!
0:42:28 > 0:42:33And the expert made a substantial profit on her bonus buy, so,
0:42:33 > 0:42:36well done, Caroline on that, except, sadly, you didn't go with it.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38It means that you can enter the ancient
0:42:38 > 0:42:41and venerable order of the Golden Gavels.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44Look at that! Mark Two, new design.
0:42:44 > 0:42:49Now, one for Helen, this is for her in her sick bed, poor love.
0:42:49 > 0:42:53- Oh.- And Caroline.- Thank you. - How about that?
0:42:53 > 0:42:55Is that not a moment in your life?
0:42:55 > 0:42:57- It is a moment. - Very, very special.- Oh!
0:42:57 > 0:43:01- And well deserved, I have to say, so congratulations.- Thank you.
0:43:01 > 0:43:05- Golden Gavels awarded. It's been fun though, hasn't it, kids?- It has.
0:43:05 > 0:43:10- Join us soon for some more bargain hunting. Yes? - ALL: Yes!
0:43:10 > 0:43:12I know you're sitting there thinking,
0:43:12 > 0:43:16"I could have done better than that!" Well, what's stopping you?
0:43:16 > 0:43:21If you think you can spot a bargain, go to our BBC website and apply.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23It'll be splendid to see you.
