There is a saying round here -

0:00:030:00:04

"Pulchra terra Dei donum",

0:00:040:00:07

which roughly translates as - "This fair land is the gift of God."

0:00:070:00:11

But what we want today is that this here fare

0:00:110:00:15

delivers one or two or even three gifts for our teams.

0:00:150:00:19

Let's go bargain hunting! Yeah.

0:00:190:00:21

Well, it is not in Latin

0:00:480:00:50

but our motto is to give each of our teams £300

0:00:500:00:54

and an hour to shop for three items to take away and sell

0:00:540:00:57

to make a profit at auction.

0:00:570:00:59

Hopefully. Ha!

0:00:590:01:00

And here is a quick squint at what is coming up.

0:01:000:01:02

On today's programme, the question is will the Reds be in agreement?

0:01:050:01:09

-He might do a bargain for us.

-No, no, no, no, no.

0:01:090:01:11

-No?

-No, moving on.

-It's not pretty.

0:01:110:01:13

-It's not my sort of cup of tea.

-What do you think about it?

-No.

0:01:130:01:16

-I think the condition is not good enough.

-It's not going to make any money.

0:01:160:01:19

And the Blue team are at odds too.

0:01:190:01:21

-No, David.

-No, no, let's move on, please.

0:01:210:01:23

-Come on, we haven't got much time.

-No. We can't waste time.

0:01:230:01:26

Come on, we've got to get going. No, leave him.

0:01:260:01:29

We're going.

0:01:290:01:30

But at the auction, will our teams be back on speaking terms?

0:01:300:01:33

Yes! Look at that. That is fantastic.

0:01:330:01:36

No!

0:01:360:01:37

I can't believe this!

0:01:390:01:40

Before all that, let's meet the teams, shall we?

0:01:400:01:43

Well, it is a family affair today with parents and their children.

0:01:440:01:49

For the Reds, we've got Caroline and Toby and for the Blues,

0:01:490:01:53

we've got Terry and Claire.

0:01:530:01:54

-Hello, everyone.

-Hello.

-Hello.

-Hello.

-Very Nice to see you.

0:01:540:01:57

It is not just Bargain Hunt which is a family affair for you,

0:01:570:01:59

is it, Caroline?

0:01:590:02:00

No, my husband is a builder and we've been in business 30 years now

0:02:000:02:04

and our son has joined us in the ranks.

0:02:040:02:06

We build, renovate and hopefully improve people's houses for them.

0:02:060:02:09

Well, how lovely is that? And what is your role in the firm?

0:02:090:02:12

-I make coffee.

-HE CHUCKLES.

0:02:120:02:14

-No, I do the books.

-Oh, do you?

-And the secretarial work.

0:02:140:02:17

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-Keep them all under control.

0:02:170:02:19

I do try. It's pretty tricky but I do try.

0:02:190:02:21

Now, Toby, being in the family business

0:02:210:02:23

was not the original plan for you, was it?

0:02:230:02:25

No. Originally I was going to do medicine. Did physiology.

0:02:250:02:30

My dad was short of someone to work in the office,

0:02:300:02:33

so two weeks turned into four years.

0:02:330:02:35

-Oh, really? Is that the way it worked?

-Yeah, unfortunately.

0:02:350:02:37

-But you're now doing a part-time degree?

-Yeah, yeah.

0:02:370:02:40

In quantity surveying at UE.

0:02:400:02:41

-That's marvellous, isn't it?

-Yeah.

0:02:410:02:42

And what bit of the building business do you really enjoy?

0:02:420:02:45

When we are doing our own properties, that's the best bit.

0:02:450:02:47

-Is it?

-Yeah. Because it's for yourself. It's fun.

0:02:470:02:50

Are you going to be listening to your mother today

0:02:500:02:52

when it comes to buying on Bargain Hunt?

0:02:520:02:53

-I am in charge, so...

-Er, ahem.

0:02:530:02:56

-Oh, I see.

-Mother's in charge.

0:02:560:02:58

Oh, Mother's in charge. There's going to be a bit of aggravation going on.

0:02:580:03:01

-Yeah, yeah.

-That's always very, very nice.

0:03:010:03:02

He might have the last word but we will compromise, I expect.

0:03:020:03:05

I see. Well, we will stand by for that. Good luck anyway.

0:03:050:03:08

-Thank you.

-Very nice to meet you.

0:03:080:03:10

Now, Terry. Do you reckon you've got some small advantage today?

0:03:100:03:13

Well, possibly.

0:03:130:03:14

My wife and I had a couple of antique shops in Johannesburg.

0:03:140:03:19

-Oh, you're an antique dealer.

-No, I wouldn't quite say that.

0:03:190:03:22

And how long ago was this?

0:03:220:03:24

-In the '80s.

-Oh, right. So, a wee while back.

0:03:240:03:26

A wee while. Oh, yes, it was.

0:03:260:03:28

And what have you done in the meanwhile?

0:03:280:03:30

Well, my main job - I used to help out at the weekends in the shop -

0:03:300:03:33

but my main job during that time was in international shipping.

0:03:330:03:36

-Right.

-In the freight industry.

0:03:360:03:39

But you decided to come back to the mother country.

0:03:390:03:41

-In 2005 we decided to come back and retire.

-Brilliant.

0:03:410:03:44

Now, Claire, it says here that you're a medical secretary

0:03:440:03:46

-but you've got healing hands.

-Yes, that's right.

0:03:460:03:49

I work for Gloucestershire Hospital at the moment, I'm a bank secretary

0:03:490:03:53

and my main interest is in complementary therapies.

0:03:530:03:57

I trained as a reflexologist and an aromatherapist.

0:03:570:04:00

And do you get to practise what you preach, though?

0:04:000:04:03

Well, I do, yes, sometimes. I have people -

0:04:030:04:05

mainly friends and family at the moment

0:04:050:04:08

and I do a bit of massage for them and...

0:04:080:04:10

I mean, most people seem to get a lot of tension

0:04:100:04:13

on their shoulders and neck and things like that.

0:04:130:04:15

Oh, I know. Yes, I know. I feel it coming on.

0:04:150:04:18

Now, you two, what about your joint fund of antiques knowledge?

0:04:180:04:22

Are you going to spend all your money or are you going to spend a small part?

0:04:220:04:25

-We're going to spend a reasonable amount.

-Well, be careful with it.

0:04:250:04:28

It depends what we find and what we can get as a bargain.

0:04:280:04:30

-So, you don't really need your expert, that's the thing.

-Oh, we do.

0:04:300:04:33

-Oh, you do.

-We need to know fake from fortune.

0:04:330:04:36

-Definitely.

-OK, fine. Definitely, says the daughter.

0:04:360:04:40

There we are. We're going to have some fun today.

0:04:400:04:42

Anyway, now, the money moment. Here comes your £300 apiece.

0:04:420:04:45

Look at the mother rubbing her hands. £300 apiece. You know the rules.

0:04:450:04:49

Your experts await. And off you go.

0:04:490:04:52

And very, very, very good luck.

0:04:520:04:53

Well, whatever's going to happen next?

0:04:530:04:56

So, that is our teams. Let's meet their mentors.

0:04:570:05:00

Ably assisting the Reds,

0:05:000:05:01

it is the blinkingly brilliant Caroline Hawley.

0:05:010:05:04

And for the Blues, it is the ever-dapper David Harper.

0:05:040:05:08

Suits you, dear.

0:05:080:05:09

Well, you can't beat a lovely wet and muddy day

0:05:120:05:14

in the middle of the field, can you?

0:05:140:05:16

-No.

-No.

-Up to the elbows in mud.

0:05:160:05:18

-And antiques! That's what we love.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

0:05:180:05:20

-We're not to have any mother-son disputes?

-No.

-Definitely.

0:05:200:05:23

-Hopefully not, no.

-Well, I have the last word.

0:05:230:05:25

-I thought you said you had the last word.

-That's not true.

0:05:250:05:27

-We've talked about this.

-Oh, OK, OK.

0:05:270:05:29

-We're going out with an open mind.

-Oh, well, that's good.

0:05:290:05:32

-Yeah.

-And a bit of QFB.

0:05:320:05:33

-QFB?

-Quality functional bargain.

0:05:330:05:37

-Phwoar! Can I pinch that?

-You can.

0:05:370:05:40

Still unpacking.

0:05:440:05:46

-Oh, no, that's fine. Unpacking is good.

-Right.

0:05:460:05:48

Cor, these teams are getting stuck in quick.

0:05:480:05:51

I think I've just blown our £300 already.

0:05:510:05:54

-Caroline! We're only a minute in.

-I love that.

0:05:540:05:57

Oh, it's gorgeous, isn't it?

0:05:570:05:59

Yeah, that is beautiful. Does it work?

0:05:590:06:01

-It is...

-What's the time?

0:06:010:06:03

Oh, yeah. No, I'm sorry, it's slow.

0:06:030:06:06

-THEY ALL LAUGH

-I don't think so.

0:06:060:06:09

That is really beautiful.

0:06:090:06:11

It's English, the maker is Elliott, it's a Lincoln retailer,

0:06:110:06:15

a wooden case with this beautiful chinoiserie pattern on it,

0:06:150:06:18

about 1950s.

0:06:180:06:20

It is a lovely looking thing. Do you really love this clock?

0:06:200:06:23

I absolutely love it. I think it's so pretty.

0:06:230:06:26

It's not too big, it will sit on anybody's mantelpiece

0:06:260:06:28

without being too intrusive and I think it is really, really delicate.

0:06:280:06:32

Do you like it too, Toby?

0:06:320:06:33

I do like it but it's a lot of money.

0:06:330:06:35

It's £275 and we are only five minutes in.

0:06:350:06:38

-It's our whole budget...gone.

-Less than five minutes.

0:06:380:06:40

Less than five minutes in and our whole budget is gone.

0:06:400:06:43

You want to pay £275 for it?

0:06:430:06:44

-No, no, no. Well, we can look and come back.

-Yeah, come on.

0:06:440:06:46

-I think we'll put it on the back burner.

-It is really nice.

0:06:460:06:49

-Thank you so much, though.

-Thank you.

-Bye.

0:06:490:06:51

I like it, Reds. Thinking big and potentially spending big.

0:06:510:06:55

If they are not careful, the blues really will be left out in the cold.

0:06:550:06:59

Now, Claire, what kind of things do you like?

0:06:590:07:01

Well, I like things that have got history to it.

0:07:010:07:03

-I like things that people have used in the past.

-Oh, I do too.

0:07:030:07:05

So that you can actually see them, that they've used it,

0:07:050:07:08

and if you can use it today, even better.

0:07:080:07:10

Oh, that's lovely. Terry, what for you?

0:07:100:07:12

Well, I like Arts and Crafts.

0:07:120:07:13

And maybe, because my wife is interested in dolls' houses

0:07:130:07:16

and miniatures, maybe there is an old dolls' house around.

0:07:160:07:19

Listen, we're not buying for the missus now, you know, Terry.

0:07:190:07:22

-I know.

-You're not trying to win points at home.

-I know.

0:07:220:07:24

This is all about profit.

0:07:240:07:26

-Well, it is profit.

-Let's have a look.

0:07:260:07:28

That's a bit of Art Nouveau. It's got a 20th-century feel.

0:07:280:07:31

-It's a nice colour, isn't it? It's very bright.

-Good colour.

0:07:310:07:33

Now, Terry, this is really in your area of interest.

0:07:330:07:36

I mean, it's early 20th century, it's screaming 20th-century design.

0:07:360:07:40

Art Nouveau, it's got that lovely shape to it

0:07:400:07:43

with the ridges down there.

0:07:430:07:45

It's a little posy vase.

0:07:450:07:46

You just put one really stunningly beautiful flower in there.

0:07:460:07:50

-Is that silver?

-That is silver.

-Oh, is it?

-This mark there?

0:07:500:07:52

That is some lovely hallmarks. Claire, can you read hallmark?

0:07:520:07:55

-You've watched this programme enough.

-I'll tell you what...

0:07:550:07:58

-I don't know. Dad, do you know that?

-I've got my...

0:07:580:08:00

Oh, my... He's well-prepared!

0:08:000:08:01

Use this. Look, there. Can we see that?

0:08:010:08:03

-What do you see?

-There's as a lion on there.

0:08:030:08:06

-Well, that tells us it's silver.

-A heart with an S.

0:08:060:08:10

-That's an anchor!

-An anchor!

-Well, you're nearly there.

0:08:100:08:13

-What is it? Come on, Claire.

-I don't know anchors.

-I don't know.

0:08:130:08:15

I don't really know a lot. You know more about antiques.

0:08:150:08:18

-I didn't come to look for silver.

-I just like to look at things.

0:08:180:08:20

-Anchor means it was made in Birmingham.

-Oh, OK.

0:08:200:08:22

That is the hallmark for the city of Birmingham.

0:08:220:08:25

-Maybe we can think about it.

-Yes.

0:08:250:08:26

Well, shall we just get a price? What sort of price?

0:08:260:08:29

-I could do that for £10.

-OK.

0:08:290:08:30

-£10!

-It's a fair price.

0:08:300:08:31

-Well, I think we'll go for it.

-Yeah, definitely.

0:08:310:08:34

-Don't forget, we're also trying to make money here.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

0:08:340:08:37

-Let me wrap it up for you.

-Well, I like you two.

0:08:370:08:39

I think it's good.

0:08:390:08:40

It's the first stall. The first stall and you're in. I like it.

0:08:400:08:45

Claire, I like it a lot.

0:08:450:08:46

TIM: First stall, first five minutes, first buy.

0:08:460:08:50

No pressure, Reds.

0:08:500:08:51

Caroline.

0:08:510:08:53

-Oh!

-What do you think of this one?

-It's not shiny enough.

0:08:530:08:55

Yeah, but there's a market for these.

0:08:550:08:57

-Hmm.

-He might do a bargain for it.

-No, no, no.

0:08:570:08:59

-No? Moving on?

-Moving on.

0:08:590:09:01

-It's not pretty, it's not pretty.

-Moving on.

0:09:010:09:03

Hmm, not finding any traction there, eh, Tobes?

0:09:030:09:06

So, we've bought one really, Claire, for Dad, haven't we?

0:09:070:09:10

-We've got his Art Nouveau style.

-Oh, that's true.

0:09:100:09:12

-Yes, yes.

-That's what he loves.

0:09:120:09:13

So, what about for you? What would you really love to find today?

0:09:130:09:17

-Well, I'd quite like to find something that someone has made.

-OK.

0:09:170:09:20

Maybe something embroidery or something like that,

0:09:200:09:23

that someone has actually used their hands to make it.

0:09:230:09:25

-Yes.

-Yes, I think so.

-OK.

-That would be really nice.

-OK.

0:09:250:09:28

Well, we will look out for something like that

0:09:280:09:30

and if we can't find something like that, do we have a backup plan?

0:09:300:09:33

-Well...

-Well...

0:09:340:09:36

-No.

-No.

-No!

0:09:360:09:38

Well... Your team are in unison, David,

0:09:380:09:41

which is more than can be said for Caroline's.

0:09:410:09:43

-Caroline.

-Yeah?

-There's a very nice vase here.

0:09:430:09:45

Oh, yes. Toby, come and have a look. Your mum's found something.

0:09:450:09:49

-May I pick it up?

-Yes, of course.

-Oh, that's pretty.

0:09:490:09:51

Look at this.

0:09:530:09:54

-It's not my sort of cup of tea.

-You don't like it?

-No.

0:09:540:09:57

-Would you hear a little bit about it first?

-No, that's fair enough.

0:09:570:10:00

-I understand that.

-I like it but it's your sort of item.

0:10:000:10:02

-Yeah.

-It is beautifully cut.

0:10:020:10:03

-It is from Bohemia.

-Yeah.

-I would say it's 1940s, '50s.

-Yeah.

0:10:030:10:08

Would that come in a pair, though?

0:10:080:10:10

-No, I don't think that would.

-Just a one-off piece.

-Yeah.

0:10:100:10:13

-And the colour is often called Bristol blue.

-Oh, right.

0:10:130:10:15

-If you hold it to the light, look at that.

-Look at it with the light.

0:10:150:10:18

Yeah, it's nice.

0:10:180:10:19

And what was the asking price, Caroline?

0:10:190:10:21

-£45.

-£45.

0:10:210:10:22

-Too much?

-I think that's too much, yeah.

0:10:220:10:25

I mean, for my mind, it needs be around £20.

0:10:250:10:28

You couldn't do £20?

0:10:280:10:30

I couldn't go that low, I'm afraid.

0:10:300:10:33

£25?

0:10:330:10:35

I was thinking £30.

0:10:350:10:37

-That's not bad.

-It's not bad.

0:10:370:10:39

For us to make a profit, I think we need £25, really.

0:10:390:10:43

Oh, go on.

0:10:430:10:45

Well, that's great. That's our first item in the bag.

0:10:450:10:48

16 minutes down.

0:10:480:10:50

-Right, OK.

-We're doing all right.

-So, we're OK. Yeah, we're fine.

0:10:500:10:53

-We've got three quarters left.

-We mustn't panic buy.

0:10:530:10:55

No, no, we mustn't panic buy.

0:10:550:10:57

Famous last words, eh? Still, well done, Reds. That's one vase apiece.

0:10:570:11:00

So, let's see if we can find a bit more Arts and Crafts, shall we?

0:11:020:11:05

-Yes.

-DAVID LAUGHS.

0:11:050:11:07

Oh, teddy bear. Oh, Claire, come on, tell me you'd love that.

0:11:070:11:10

He's a bit manky, isn't he?

0:11:100:11:11

He's manky? He's not manky, he's absolutely...

0:11:110:11:14

-There's a growl in him as well.

-Is he a growler?

0:11:140:11:17

Listen. CLAIRE LAUGHS

0:11:170:11:19

Oh, he did.

0:11:190:11:20

-He once growled. I know the feeling.

-It's too cold.

0:11:200:11:23

I don't know. I think we'll put him back for the moment.

0:11:230:11:27

We'll have another look round.

0:11:270:11:28

-I can't convince you at all?

-No.

-No.

0:11:280:11:30

-You buy it with your bonus buy.

-Yes.

0:11:300:11:32

Hey, some people. You can't please people.

0:11:320:11:34

You've got no emotion, you two.

0:11:340:11:36

TERRY LAUGHS

0:11:360:11:37

Bear it in mind, eh, David?

0:11:370:11:39

Sorry, can't help myself.

0:11:390:11:41

OK, teams, time to pick up those heels. That is 20 minutes gone.

0:11:410:11:45

Did you hear that, Blues?

0:11:450:11:47

-Got to get our skates on.

-Yes.

0:11:470:11:48

And we're going to go and get warm.

0:11:480:11:50

Now it seems Toby has found something to get excited about.

0:11:500:11:54

HE HONKS HORN Oh!

0:11:540:11:55

-Oh, God.

-Don't you like it?

0:11:550:11:57

It's not that I don't like it, it's just a little bit of a shock.

0:11:570:12:00

-I would have this.

-You've set the dogs off now, Toby.

0:12:000:12:02

-I would have this.

-Would you?

0:12:020:12:03

-How much is it?

-We'll find out.

0:12:030:12:05

-How much do you want for this?

-£60.

-£60?

0:12:050:12:07

What you think of £60?

0:12:090:12:11

-If you've got a car enthusiast in Malvern...

-Yeah.

0:12:110:12:14

It is marked here with the maker's mark, Desmo,

0:12:140:12:17

and again at the back, so that's good.

0:12:170:12:19

It's the original end to it.

0:12:190:12:21

It would have been bolted on to the side of the car in the 1920s.

0:12:210:12:24

I'm not sure what type of car.

0:12:240:12:27

And there's an awful lot of people that collect vintage vehicles,

0:12:270:12:31

loads of people.

0:12:310:12:32

I honestly think we ought to have a go at this, you know.

0:12:320:12:35

-It's got the original end to it.

-You're convincing me.

0:12:350:12:38

-You don't need convincing. You want it.

-I know.

0:12:380:12:40

-It's your mum that needs convincing.

-It's this one.

0:12:400:12:42

I have a girl's thing so you can have a boy's thing.

0:12:420:12:44

-Well, do you want to...?

-Why don't I leave it to you, Caroline?

0:12:440:12:47

You say £50 and see what he says.

0:12:470:12:49

-OK

-He will. I think he'll do £50.

0:12:490:12:52

-OK, Leave it to me.

-You try.

-I shall try.

0:12:520:12:53

Whilst Caroline tries to do a deal on the horn,

0:12:530:12:57

I bet those Blues are looking at something Art Nouveau.

0:12:570:13:00

If not, I'll eat my hat.

0:13:000:13:02

Cast your eye over this table and tell me if anything jumps out at you

0:13:020:13:07

like it has done for me.

0:13:070:13:08

Go along the...your dad's Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau,

0:13:080:13:12

art anything sort of theme.

0:13:120:13:14

-This?

-No.

0:13:140:13:16

No. What is this?

0:13:160:13:19

-Hmm, you're getting warm.

-Am I?

0:13:190:13:22

I quite like that, actually.

0:13:220:13:23

-It's a light.

-Yeah.

0:13:230:13:25

-It's quite nice.

-What about this?

0:13:250:13:27

Is this...?

0:13:270:13:28

-Yes, Terry.

-Well done, Dad.

0:13:280:13:30

-You found something.

-That, to me...

0:13:300:13:31

-Yes, yes, you've got this.

-That's quite nice.

0:13:310:13:34

-The copper.

-Oh!

0:13:340:13:35

-Ah.

-Oh, that is just delectable.

0:13:350:13:39

-What period?

-I would have said, what, '20s, '30s?

0:13:390:13:43

A bit earlier. Look at that shape.

0:13:430:13:45

-That is Art Nouveau, isn't it?

-Yeah.

0:13:450:13:48

It is a gentleman's piece. It is called a 'mantique'.

0:13:480:13:51

-Have you heard of mantiques?

-No.

-No.

0:13:510:13:53

It is the new buzzword in the antiques biz.

0:13:530:13:56

-Mantiques?

-Oh, right.

-Mantique.

0:13:560:13:57

Men spend money on themselves in a big way.

0:13:570:14:01

-That makes a change.

-Watches, cars, things for their desk.

0:14:010:14:04

-Right.

-It is a mantique.

0:14:040:14:06

How much is it?

0:14:060:14:08

-Is that...?

-£55.

-£55.

0:14:090:14:12

It obviously needs rewiring.

0:14:120:14:15

-Obviously.

-Sure.

-Which is a very easy job.

0:14:150:14:17

-Right.

-And it's fine, because if that had any form of wiring

0:14:170:14:21

in any way with no safety certificate,

0:14:210:14:23

the auctioneer will chop the wire off and what you would do with that

0:14:230:14:27

is you rewire it with that lovely old-fashioned cord.

0:14:270:14:31

-Right.

-It is brand-new but it looks really old

0:14:310:14:33

and that, in position, Terry, will look...

0:14:330:14:37

-Oh, it's heavy.

-Do you like it, Dad?

-I do.

0:14:370:14:39

What is the best price, dear lady, you could do this for?

0:14:390:14:41

-What price is...?

-It's got £55 on it.

-£55.

0:14:410:14:44

-£48.

-Could you do £40?

0:14:460:14:49

-Oh, no.

-£45?

0:14:490:14:51

-Go on, yes.

-£45?

0:14:510:14:52

-£45. Do you want it for £45?

-I think so, £45.

0:14:520:14:55

-We'll take it.

-Thank you very much.

0:14:550:14:57

-Thank you very much.

-Do I have to shake on it?

0:14:570:14:58

-Yes, you do.

-Well, if you want to.

0:14:580:15:00

-Yes, yes.

-Thank you very much.

0:15:000:15:02

-Me as well.

-Yes, thank you very much.

0:15:020:15:04

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you very much.

0:15:040:15:05

-I think that is delicious.

-Smashing.

0:15:050:15:07

-Oh, well done.

-Absolutely delicious.

0:15:070:15:09

That is your second item and my hat remains intact

0:15:090:15:12

and there is more good news back with the Reds.

0:15:120:15:15

In case you were wondering, Caroline got the horn for £53.

0:15:150:15:19

-Well, that is great. Two items down.

-Yeah.

0:15:190:15:23

-Are you happy with this, Caroline?

-Yes, I am, yes.

0:15:230:15:25

I am. I think this is great condition, so that is rare.

0:15:250:15:29

-Yes.

-So, I think we have a good chance with that.

0:15:290:15:31

Another teddy bear.

0:15:360:15:37

-I know, I want him. I want him.

-Do you?

0:15:370:15:39

He's fabulous!

0:15:390:15:40

-Tell me you love him.

-Do you like teddy bears?

0:15:400:15:42

I do love teddy bears.

0:15:420:15:43

-No, seriously.

-He hasn't got any arms.

-He's got no arms!

0:15:430:15:45

-He's going from bad to worse. And no ears.

-Oh, no.

0:15:450:15:47

-No, David.

-So, let's move on, please.

-No.

0:15:470:15:50

-We haven't got much time.

-We can't waste time.

0:15:500:15:52

Come on, we've got to get going. No, leave him!

0:15:520:15:54

-We're going.

-SHE LAUGHS

0:15:540:15:57

Aww, poor David.

0:15:570:15:59

Now, are the Reds ticking the right boxes?

0:16:000:16:02

-How about that big box?

-It's nice but I think it's all the money.

0:16:030:16:06

-I don't think there's profit on it.

-No? OK

0:16:060:16:09

-What have we got?

-It is just a writing slope.

0:16:150:16:18

A Victorian writing slope in rosewood.

0:16:180:16:21

-Oh, lovely.

-But it is all the money at that price.

0:16:210:16:24

£175.

0:16:240:16:25

-What you think about it?

-No.

0:16:250:16:27

I think the condition is not good enough.

0:16:270:16:29

But at auction, I don't think it's going to get more than £120.

0:16:290:16:32

-Nor do I.

-Yeah.

0:16:320:16:33

-Come on, we're leaving.

-OK

0:16:330:16:35

-Now, you two, I've been using my time wisely.

-Yes?

-Yes.

0:16:400:16:43

Now, Claire, you know we've been looking for something handmade.

0:16:430:16:46

-Yes.

-Yes.

-I've got you something.

0:16:460:16:48

-Have you?

-Let's have a look.

-Problem is solved.

0:16:480:16:51

Sweets.

0:16:510:16:52

Fudge. My favourite.

0:16:520:16:54

There you go. Grab a piece.

0:16:540:16:56

-Oh, my God.

-Oh, that is kind of you.

0:16:560:16:57

-Handmade.

-Well done.

-With love.

0:16:570:17:00

No time for fudge, though,

0:17:000:17:02

back with the Reds as Caroline is still keen on the chinoiserie clock.

0:17:020:17:07

So, do you want to have a look at the clock again? Do you want to...?

0:17:070:17:11

Well, I'm...

0:17:110:17:12

We've got a quarter of an hour left.

0:17:120:17:14

-I would like Toby to make that decision, really.

-Yeah, OK.

0:17:140:17:16

-Yes.

-He's...

-Go on.

0:17:160:17:17

He's actually quite good at making decisions and I'm very indecisive.

0:17:190:17:24

Where's Toby, then?

0:17:240:17:27

Right, you two.

0:17:270:17:28

-Honestly, do you know how long you've got left?

-I can't...

-No.

0:17:280:17:31

-10 minutes.

-10 minutes?

-Oh, boy.

-10 minutes.

0:17:310:17:34

-So it really is now time to...

-Right, come on, then, Dad.

0:17:340:17:37

We'd better find something quick.

0:17:370:17:39

-We're on our third item. It's proving very tricky.

-It is indeed.

0:17:420:17:46

-Can you feel the pain?

-Yes, I can start to feel it.

-Can you?

0:17:490:17:52

-Yeah, good.

-We'll go back.

-Where are we going?

0:17:520:17:55

-We saw something that we quite liked at the end.

-OK, you lead the way.

0:17:550:17:58

-Oh, I see. OK, right. Now, I think I know why your dad likes it.

-Yes.

0:17:580:18:03

Because it's art something. What about you, Claire, how do you feel?

0:18:030:18:06

I quite like it as well cos I like the colour.

0:18:060:18:09

It looks like a bottle of wine, doesn't it? And it looks like it's been made with good use

0:18:090:18:12

-because you can put some lighting on it.

-You see, it comes off.

0:18:120:18:15

-And it comes off...

-Yeah.

-What's that underneath there?

0:18:150:18:18

-That's the wiring.

-Oh, right, OK. But how old is it, though?

0:18:180:18:21

-Well, look at the decorations.

-Right.

0:18:210:18:23

So if you look at that, the material, it's copper

0:18:230:18:26

-and its style is 1905, 1910 Arts and Crafts.

-Right, oh, well, Dad.

-Hello!

0:18:260:18:32

-Here we go again.

-Surprise, surprise!

0:18:320:18:35

-It was her choice. Bearing in mind we've got four minutes.

-It was my choice

0:18:370:18:40

-and we don't have hardly any time. I do like this.

-And it's only priced at 35.

0:18:400:18:44

OK, but it's sort of tapping in to what you're

0:18:440:18:47

looking for because that is a one-off.

0:18:470:18:50

There isn't another one on the planet like that

0:18:500:18:53

because somebody has taken that bottle and made

0:18:530:18:57

these mountings and fixings and made it into a lamp.

0:18:570:19:00

-So we're sort of getting there with you, aren't we?

-Yes, we are.

0:19:000:19:02

-That's really good.

-See what you can do.

-Are you happy?

0:19:020:19:05

-I'm happy with that because...

-What it is the best price on this?

0:19:050:19:09

It says 35.

0:19:090:19:11

-I could do it for you for 28.

-28? That's fair enough.

0:19:110:19:15

-That's really good, thank you.

-We'll do that, thank you very much.

-Thank you very much.

0:19:150:19:19

-Marvellous. You are done.

-We're done.

-In the nicest possible way.

0:19:190:19:24

Faced with little time left, the Reds are back where they started.

0:19:240:19:28

-That one there.

-You'd want to look at it?

0:19:280:19:30

No, we haven't got time to look at it. We need to discuss price.

0:19:300:19:35

You've marked it up at 275, what is your absolute...

0:19:350:19:40

-250.

-250? Oh, we haven't got 250.

0:19:400:19:42

Look, can I make you an offer? And please, please,

0:19:420:19:45

please don't be offended but it is really to the penny.

0:19:450:19:48

Well, I seriously mean, to the penny.

0:19:480:19:51

We have 220.

0:19:510:19:53

It's very doubtful but I will check my book.

0:19:530:19:56

Oh, please do, please do.

0:19:560:19:57

Very quickly, please, sir.

0:19:570:19:59

We know it works, it's really pretty

0:19:590:20:02

and it's not too big for someone's mantelpiece.

0:20:020:20:05

It leaves you with £2, though.

0:20:050:20:07

-That's all right, I can do a lot of damage for £2.

-Sure?

0:20:070:20:10

-I can make a lot of profit with £2.

-That's a challenge, isn't it?

0:20:100:20:14

-Oh, go on, then.

-Thank you! Thank you!

0:20:150:20:18

-Unbelievable.

-On the button, sir.

0:20:180:20:20

-I've got greasy fingers.

-I don't care. Thank you.

0:20:200:20:22

-Thank you, I absolutely love it.

-Thank you so much.

0:20:220:20:26

-You adore it, don't you?

-Yeah.

0:20:260:20:27

Right, the jammy bit's over.

0:20:320:20:35

One or two sticky moments, 60 minutes is up.

0:20:350:20:38

So, let's check out what the Red team bought, eh?

0:20:380:20:41

Do you fancy a jam tart?

0:20:410:20:42

First up, they got hold of the blue glass vase for £25.

0:20:450:20:48

Next up was the brass car horn, bought for a honking £53.

0:20:520:20:56

Finally, they returned to the chinoiserie clock

0:20:580:21:01

for a whopping £220.

0:21:010:21:03

-Well, team, how was it?

-It was good fun.

0:21:050:21:07

You're looking very red and colourful, aren't you?

0:21:070:21:10

-This is marvellous.

-Yeah! We're all in harmony here.

-Quite right too.

0:21:100:21:13

Now, Caroline, which is your favourite piece?

0:21:130:21:15

-Well, I like my little clock.

-Brilliant. What about you?

0:21:150:21:18

-It's not a classic clock, by the way.

-Oh, it's not?

0:21:180:21:20

-No, it's plastic at the back.

-You don't like it.

0:21:200:21:22

-She spent a lot of money on it. Not too happy about it.

-But it's pretty.

0:21:220:21:25

This is the son kicking back, you realise that, don't you?

0:21:250:21:28

-Cut-throat, to be fair.

-But I do like yours.

-Oh, well...

-Which is yours?

0:21:280:21:32

-The horn.

-The horn's your favourite?

-Yeah.

0:21:320:21:34

-Is that going to bring the biggest profit?

-I hope so, yeah. Soon see.

0:21:340:21:37

-Do you agree with that? You do, Mum.

-Afraid so.

0:21:370:21:40

Good, now how much did you spend all told?

0:21:400:21:42

BOTH: 298.

0:21:420:21:43

-Yes, that is a number, isn't it?

-A lot of money.

0:21:430:21:46

I don't waste money, you know.

0:21:460:21:48

Quite right, just get out there and kick on, girl.

0:21:480:21:50

£2 leftover lolly, then, please? Thank you, that's it.

0:21:500:21:54

-Now this is your test.

-Thank you so much.

-There you go...

-Sorry.

0:21:540:21:58

-Apologise.

-Thank you so much.

0:21:580:22:00

-Good luck, that's all I can say.

-Thank you.

0:22:000:22:03

-Cup of coffee and a bun.

-I can't afford a cup of coffee.

0:22:030:22:06

OK, just have a bun, then.

0:22:060:22:08

Anyway, good luck with that.

0:22:080:22:10

Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?

0:22:100:22:13

Within moments, they'd bought the art glass vase for a crisp £10 note.

0:22:130:22:17

The second purchase was the Art Nouveau style student lamp for £45.

0:22:190:22:23

Lastly, they settled on the copper mounted glass bottle lamp

0:22:250:22:28

thingamajig for £28.

0:22:280:22:30

-Not so cold anyway. We got inside, didn't we?

-We did.

-Yes.

0:22:320:22:35

-We were lucky.

-Cold enough out here, isn't it?

-It is. Breezy.

0:22:350:22:38

A lot of warmth in our hearts.

0:22:380:22:40

-OK, Kerry, tell me which is your favourite piece?

-I think the bottle.

0:22:400:22:45

-Oh, yeah.

-That is... You know, the bottle with the...

-The bottle.

-Yeah.

0:22:450:22:48

-It's got alcohol in it, Tim.

-That's handy, then, isn't it?

0:22:480:22:51

-And do you agree with that, Dad?

-I like the Arts and Crafts lamp.

0:22:510:22:55

-Is that going to bring the biggest profit?

-I hope so.

0:22:550:22:57

-Yeah, I think so.

-Do you agree, Claire?

-I think so, yes.

0:22:570:23:01

OK, well, that's all quite nice and positive, isn't it?

0:23:010:23:04

-And you spent in grand total, how much?

-£83.

0:23:040:23:06

£83?

0:23:060:23:08

-£83.

-On all three items?

-Yes.

-Yes, not a lot.

-Bargain hunting, Tim.

0:23:080:23:13

£217 I'll have, then, in leftover lolly, please.

0:23:130:23:17

-I've got that.

-You don't like handing this over at all, do you?

0:23:170:23:20

-OK, this is the bit that Harper likes.

-It is.

0:23:200:23:23

He encourages you to spend nothing, then he goes and blows the lot with any luck.

0:23:230:23:26

-Is that true?

-I'm going to...

0:23:260:23:28

No, I'm going to buy something I really, really want to buy.

0:23:280:23:31

Which, let's hope, is expensive. That's all I can say.

0:23:310:23:33

Anyway, good luck with that, you lot.

0:23:330:23:35

Meanwhile, I'm heading off to London to have a look at some right

0:23:350:23:38

Royal military history.

0:23:380:23:40

Today we're at the Royal Artillery Museum at Woolwich in South London.

0:23:490:23:54

This was formerly the royal armoury where literally

0:23:540:23:58

millions of tonnes of armaments were produced for the use

0:23:580:24:02

of our armed forces.

0:24:020:24:04

And once upon time,

0:24:040:24:05

the top end of 80,000 people were employed here.

0:24:050:24:09

But today, the workshops have fallen silent.

0:24:120:24:16

They finally closed in 1994 after hundreds of years of production.

0:24:160:24:20

But thankfully for us, a good part of the site has been

0:24:200:24:23

transformed into this fabulous museum.

0:24:230:24:26

There are guns galore here but what interests me

0:24:290:24:33

is the small group of objects directly associated with

0:24:330:24:37

personnel who battled in a variety of Britain's wars,

0:24:370:24:42

including objects associated with the Emperor Napoleon

0:24:420:24:47

and the Battle of Waterloo.

0:24:470:24:49

The Battle of Waterloo was fought on the 18th of June,

0:24:510:24:54

1815, in what is present-day Belgium.

0:24:540:24:58

The combined Prussian army

0:24:590:25:01

and the British Army under Wellington clashed with Napoleon

0:25:010:25:04

at Waterloo, ending his rule as emperor and sending him into exile.

0:25:040:25:09

And guess what happened next?

0:25:110:25:13

The Royal Artillery captured Napoleon's baggage train

0:25:130:25:18

and they nabbed some of his personal objects.

0:25:180:25:21

And one of those eventually finished up here,

0:25:210:25:24

which is Napoleon's coffeepot.

0:25:240:25:27

Now all you see is the copper but originally silvered

0:25:270:25:31

so that the emperor's coffee wouldn't become tainted.

0:25:310:25:35

And subsequently donated to the museum.

0:25:350:25:38

Napoleon's arch enemy, Wellington,

0:25:390:25:42

was Master of the Board of Ordnance,

0:25:420:25:45

connected directly with Woolwich Arsenal

0:25:450:25:49

and he was presented with this flintlock pistol and this umbrella.

0:25:490:25:54

And if I very carefully pick this up,

0:25:540:25:57

Wellington's umbrella is positively identified as being his

0:25:570:26:02

because on the end of the antler horn, it says...

0:26:020:26:06

Wellington's umbrella.

0:26:060:26:08

And most particularly, this thing has a peculiar feature.

0:26:080:26:11

So if I unscrew the cover at the bottom of the umbrella,

0:26:110:26:16

it reveals a very sharp blade.

0:26:160:26:19

Now, you'd think that the hero of Waterloo

0:26:190:26:23

would be universally popular in Britain.

0:26:230:26:25

Well, he subsequently became Prime Minister

0:26:250:26:28

and wasn't particularly popular at various times -

0:26:280:26:32

called "The Iron Duke of Wellington" because he had iron

0:26:320:26:36

shutters installed at Apsley House,

0:26:360:26:39

to keep the revolting population out.

0:26:390:26:42

And by having this umbrella, if things got really rough,

0:26:420:26:47

the Duke of Wellington could unscrew that thing

0:26:470:26:49

and give any opponent a bit of a stab, which is rather scary

0:26:490:26:53

when you think about it.

0:26:530:26:55

But it's that connection with the Board of Ordnance that makes

0:26:550:27:00

that umbrella relevant in the artillery museum's collection.

0:27:000:27:04

So from one important collection to another.

0:27:070:27:11

Over in Malvern with auctioneer Phillip Serrell.

0:27:110:27:14

-This is a grand part of the world, I'm very envious.

-It's a great place, Malvern, I love it.

0:27:150:27:19

Now, let's go with Caroline and Toby in the Reds, yes?

0:27:190:27:22

-Yes.

-First it's this blue overlay glass,

0:27:220:27:25

-which we used to call flash glass.

-Yes.

0:27:250:27:27

And probably not that grade A, probably 1960s something like that.

0:27:270:27:30

-It is cut though, isn't it?

-Yeah.

0:27:300:27:32

So, from that point of view, once upon a time, it went through

0:27:320:27:36

-a quality process.

-Yeah. I think it's going to make £20-£30.

0:27:360:27:41

Is that all? £25 they paid.

0:27:410:27:43

-It's just of its type, really.

-Yes.

0:27:430:27:45

If you get one or two folk in, you might get £40 for that.

0:27:450:27:48

-It would make a jolly good table lamp, wouldn't it?

-It would do.

0:27:480:27:51

Moving on. We've got a car horn, which I bet you is not right.

0:27:510:27:55

-No, none of them really are.

-Well, some of them must be.

0:27:550:27:58

-I quite like the horn.

-Desmo Birmingham. Does that make sense?

0:27:580:28:03

Well, I looked online and you can buy any number of these that you

0:28:030:28:06

-want for between 20-30, 20-40 quid.

-Can you?

0:28:060:28:09

Which must mean that they're largely reproductions, doesn't it?

0:28:090:28:13

You would think so, but I think it's quite a cool thing.

0:28:130:28:15

-Would you have it on your motor?

-No.

0:28:150:28:17

-What did they pay for that?

-They paid £53.

0:28:170:28:20

Well, we're going to do well to get them their money back

0:28:200:28:23

-but stranger things have happened.

-OK. That's it for that.

0:28:230:28:26

And now we have this chinoiserie bracket clock.

0:28:260:28:29

-Reproduction and not very old.

-No.

0:28:290:28:32

-I think that's worth between 60 and 90 quid.

-On a good day?

0:28:320:28:36

-Yeah, I think so.

-Average day?

0:28:360:28:38

They might just strike lucky

0:28:380:28:40

because we've got some really good clocks in this sale.

0:28:400:28:42

-What did they pay for it?

-£220.

-That's strong, isn't it?

0:28:420:28:45

Eye-watering.

0:28:450:28:46

Because I don't think that thing is any older than, at best, 1930.

0:28:460:28:50

Although, I'm going to say this very quietly,

0:28:500:28:52

we've had two lots of e-mail interest on it from people wanting

0:28:520:28:56

-condition reports and photographs and images.

-You jest?

-No.

0:28:560:29:00

-So there could be something.

-Well, you never know. Time might fly.

0:29:000:29:03

As a result of spending so much on that bracket clock, I think they're

0:29:040:29:08

going to need their Bonus Buy, so let's go and have a look at it.

0:29:080:29:12

-Now, team, this is exciting, isn't it?

-Very.

-You gave the girl £2.

0:29:120:29:16

What did you spend it on, Caroline?

0:29:160:29:18

A Penny In Case, a novelty garter. Toby, you're looking bemused.

0:29:210:29:26

-It's red, as well.

-It's red.

-Tell me, what's it for?

0:29:260:29:29

In case you needed to spend a penny.

0:29:290:29:31

There's an old-fashioned penny in here

0:29:310:29:34

and a lady could have that around her thigh in case of emergencies.

0:29:340:29:38

-How much was this, 50p?

-No, it was £2. I spent the whole of £2 on this.

0:29:380:29:42

-Dates from the 1950s.

-Well, we can't lose on £2, can we? Let's be honest.

0:29:420:29:46

-Anyway, we happy with that?

-We're happy with that.

0:29:460:29:49

-Hasn't she done well, frankly?

-Thank you very much.

0:29:490:29:52

For the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer

0:29:520:29:54

thinks about Caroline's garter.

0:29:540:29:57

Well, you sell all sorts here, don't you, Phil?

0:29:580:30:01

Do you know what? I've never really been an expert in ladies' garters

0:30:010:30:04

but this was priced at one and six pence.

0:30:040:30:06

Is that seven and a half new pence?

0:30:060:30:08

-Would be something like that, I suppose.

-What did they pay for it?

0:30:080:30:10

Well, I'd quite like to know how you estimate it really.

0:30:100:30:13

If you take the penny out of the sachet,

0:30:130:30:16

what is the date on that penny?

0:30:160:30:18

-I tell you what, she's 86 now.

-There you go then.

0:30:180:30:21

I think we'll just put if back quietly.

0:30:210:30:24

That can't be the penny that was in it. Somebody's just put that in.

0:30:240:30:29

-You'd have thought so.

-It wouldn't be '30s, would it?

0:30:290:30:32

-It would be sort of naughty '50s.

-It's kiss me quick, isn't it?

-It is.

0:30:320:30:36

What's your estimate?

0:30:360:30:37

On the basis that everybody's got a minimum of a fiver,

0:30:370:30:40

it's got to be a fiver.

0:30:400:30:42

-Caroline spent the £2 on it but that's all she had.

-That was it?

0:30:420:30:46

That was it cos they spent so much on that clock. Anyway, there we are.

0:30:460:30:49

I think it's a bit of fun and we'll see what happens.

0:30:490:30:51

Anyway, that's it then for the Reds.

0:30:510:30:54

Moving on to the Blues, Terry and Claire.

0:30:540:30:56

What we've got here is this yellow art glass

0:30:560:30:58

with a silver-coloured metal collar.

0:30:580:31:01

I can remember working with David Barby once

0:31:010:31:03

and he came out with the expression, nauseating in its simplicity.

0:31:030:31:06

-It sort of doesn't do very much for me.

-He had one or two sayings, David.

0:31:060:31:12

He did indeed, bless him.

0:31:120:31:14

And nauseating in its simplicity is a classic. I have to say.

0:31:140:31:18

-It's going to make ten or 15 quid, something like that?

-They paid £10.

0:31:180:31:21

But it's a good example of what you can buy that's inexpensive.

0:31:210:31:26

It's ideal.

0:31:260:31:27

-Student's desk lamp.

-I like that.

-You like that?

-I do.

0:31:270:31:31

I think that will make £40-60.

0:31:310:31:34

And the thing about it is if you want to go

0:31:340:31:36

and buy a brand-new table lamp like that, what's it going to cost you?

0:31:360:31:40

-£100?

-At least.

0:31:400:31:41

And that is absolutely period for 1900, 1910, something like that.

0:31:410:31:45

We put £40-60 on it and I wouldn't be surprised if it did better than that.

0:31:450:31:49

-Good. £45 they paid.

-That's OK.

-I can see it making £80.

0:31:490:31:53

This bottle job, is that a bottle of the brown plonk?

0:31:530:31:57

Do you know what?

0:31:570:31:59

I've been trying to work out what would possess anybody to put

0:31:590:32:02

all this work on a brown booze bottle.

0:32:020:32:05

I like the metal work. But the bottle just has zero merit.

0:32:050:32:09

I know, when you could have selected a nice old bottle.

0:32:110:32:14

-Or something that was colourful. Not dark brown.

-What's it going to make?

0:32:140:32:18

-I don't know, 15-20 quid?

-I haven't got the faintest idea.

0:32:180:32:20

-It will make what it makes. They paid £28.

-The audience will tell us.

0:32:200:32:25

They will, won't they? They always do.

0:32:250:32:27

Anyway, on the face of it they're going to need their Bonus Buy,

0:32:270:32:31

so let's go and have a look at it.

0:32:310:32:34

Claire, Terry, £83 spent. Pathetic. £217 goes to David Harper.

0:32:340:32:42

Show us what you spent your £217 on.

0:32:420:32:45

I bought it especially for you

0:32:450:32:46

because I know you are absolutely going to love this object.

0:32:460:32:51

It's that clapped out teddy bear. Hey!

0:32:520:32:55

Give him a hug.

0:32:570:32:58

I can't believe we gave you all this money and you spent it on this.

0:32:580:33:02

-He's quite cute, I have to admit.

-Gorgeous.

-How much was it?

0:33:020:33:06

Bargain of the day.

0:33:060:33:07

I had all that money and I came back with most of it. I spent seven quid.

0:33:070:33:12

Seven? You told me you were going to go out and blow the lot.

0:33:120:33:16

-Has he got his growler? Does he growl?

-Yes, he does growl. Listen.

0:33:160:33:21

No, you've got to shake him up.

0:33:210:33:23

HE GROWLS

0:33:230:33:25

-It did it then.

-I watched your lips.

-He's in shock.

0:33:250:33:29

He's not growling.

0:33:290:33:30

-No, he's not growling.

-It's a sort of a growl.

0:33:310:33:33

Ask him how much he's going to bring.

0:33:330:33:35

How much do you think it's going to bring?

0:33:350:33:37

Definitely going to make a profit and I think he'll make £20 or 30.

0:33:370:33:40

-Oh, really? And you spent seven?

-Seven.

0:33:400:33:42

Well, if that is the case, then I love it.

0:33:440:33:47

Well, you don't have to decide right now, Terry.

0:33:480:33:51

You'll decide after the sale of your first three items.

0:33:510:33:53

But right now, for the audience at home,

0:33:530:33:55

let's find out whether the auctioneer is partial to bears.

0:33:550:33:58

-Put your other gloves on, Phil.

-Really? Does he have a name?

-No.

0:34:000:34:04

-Shall we call him David?

-Let's call him dirty.

0:34:040:34:06

Look, that was once pink in there. See that?

0:34:060:34:10

-I wouldn't give that to a child.

-No.

-I don't know.

0:34:100:34:12

I love teddy bears, don't get me wrong,

0:34:120:34:14

but they have to be up to mustard, don't they?

0:34:140:34:16

He looks like he's had a bit of a steam roller going over him,

0:34:160:34:19

-doesn't he?

-He's been run over on the M6.

0:34:190:34:22

-Any teddy bear's got to make 15 quid, doesn't it?

-OK, £7.

0:34:220:34:25

-That's not too much of a gamble.

-David Harper paid £7.

0:34:250:34:28

He paid the right price.

0:34:280:34:29

-Anyway, you taking the sale today?

-I'm going to try to.

0:34:290:34:32

We're in safe hands then.

0:34:320:34:33

50, 60.

0:34:370:34:38

-Now, Caroline, Toby, how are you feeling?

-Bit nervous.

-Very nervous.

0:34:400:34:44

Why are you both so nervous?

0:34:440:34:45

These two bought a clock that's very expensive.

0:34:450:34:48

I have to say the auctioneer has only estimated £60-90.

0:34:480:34:51

And he cannot understand how you parted with £220 on that item.

0:34:510:34:55

Well, it looks Chinese.

0:34:560:34:59

It's got that chinoiserie style and it is on trend.

0:34:590:35:02

So, whether it makes £60-90 or 200, we're about to discover.

0:35:020:35:05

But your first item coming up now is the overlaid glass vase.

0:35:050:35:09

£25 you paid for that.

0:35:090:35:11

He's estimated 20-30 so that's OK and here it goes.

0:35:110:35:14

Blue overlaid glass vase covered with roses. There we are.

0:35:140:35:18

Start me off £30? 20 I'm bid. At 20, 30, 40. At £40 down here.

0:35:180:35:25

At £40 only. Is there any more?

0:35:250:35:27

-At £40.

-You paid £25.

-Done and thank you.

-Yes. Look at that.

0:35:290:35:34

-That is fantastic. £40 is +15.

-Desmo car horn.

0:35:340:35:38

Desmo car horn. Start me off. £60 to start. £20 to start, quickly.

0:35:380:35:44

At 20, 30, 40, go on. One more. Here's the bid down here.

0:35:440:35:52

One more, sir. At 40. Just one more. There's the bid at £40.

0:35:520:35:56

Don't blow your hooter.

0:35:570:35:59

-At 40 and done. Thank you.

-That is -£13, which means you're +£2.

0:36:000:36:06

Now your big number. Your bracket clock. Here it comes.

0:36:060:36:10

Mantle clock. There you are. Bid me for that. Start off at £100.

0:36:100:36:15

100 to go.

0:36:150:36:17

120, 120, 130, 140, at 140 on the net. Any more at all?

0:36:180:36:26

-At 140, come along.

-Come along.

0:36:280:36:31

Is there any more? At £140 and I sell then at 140 and done. Thank you.

0:36:320:36:38

140 is...

0:36:380:36:40

Doesn't sound too bad when you say it quickly.

0:36:420:36:45

But it's a lot better than it was supposed to be.

0:36:450:36:47

So we have to be grateful for that.

0:36:470:36:49

That means, overall, you are -£78.

0:36:490:36:51

So are you going to go with the £2 lot?

0:36:510:36:53

You are going with the £2 lot. I mean, this is so fun.

0:36:530:36:56

Whatever is going to happen with your garter, Caroline?

0:36:560:36:59

I've never sold a novelty penny garter before

0:36:590:37:02

but here's an opportunity.

0:37:020:37:04

Ladies, does anybody want a penny garter?

0:37:040:37:07

Or gentlemen for that matter. Who's got a tenner?

0:37:080:37:12

Ten, I'm bid at ten.

0:37:120:37:13

At £10. Only at ten. Is there any more? At £10 bid.

0:37:150:37:20

Well done, Caroline.

0:37:200:37:21

-And done, thank you.

-Thank you very much. That is an...

0:37:230:37:26

Perfect. Which means, overall, you're only -£70.

0:37:280:37:32

The way things are it could be a winning score today.

0:37:320:37:34

Don't be depressed, don't say a word to the Blues

0:37:340:37:37

and we'll catch up in a minute. Thank you very much.

0:37:370:37:39

At 100 and done. Thank you.

0:37:410:37:43

-OK, how are you feeling?

-OK.

0:37:490:37:51

-A little bit nervous about the last lot.

-Are you?

0:37:510:37:54

You been chatting to the Reds at all?

0:37:540:37:57

You've not talking to those brutes, right?

0:37:580:38:00

OK, the first lot up is the yellow art glass vase.

0:38:000:38:05

He's put £10-£15 on it. You only paid a £10 note so that's fab

0:38:050:38:09

and here it comes.

0:38:090:38:11

Glass vase with the silver mount on it. Start me off, I don't know.

0:38:110:38:13

Put it in at £20, someone. £20 to start.

0:38:130:38:16

£20, a bid at £20.

0:38:160:38:17

-Hey, you're in at a £10 profit.

-Come on!

-Shh, look at that.

0:38:170:38:22

He is phenomenal, isn't he?

0:38:220:38:24

£30, £40 now, £40 bid. £40 only.

0:38:240:38:27

Come on! Yes!

0:38:270:38:30

-You see? £50.

-£50, here at £50.

0:38:310:38:34

£50 and I sell then at £50 and done.

0:38:340:38:37

-Thank you.

-£50, that is marvellous.

0:38:370:38:40

You pay £10, that means you're plus £40. Next up is the student's lamp.

0:38:400:38:44

-Here we go.

-There we go, this really nice little student's desk lamp.

0:38:440:38:49

Bid me, £100 to start with.

0:38:490:38:50

Look at that lamp, doesn't it look good?

0:38:500:38:52

It's a nice thing, £20 to start with. £20, I bid at £20.

0:38:520:38:56

-£30 man, £30. £30 bid. At £30 only.

-Come on!

-This is very cheap.

0:38:560:39:01

-It certainly is.

-At £30, £40 bid. At £40 only and £50.

-Yes!

0:39:010:39:07

Yes, no money. That's good. That's our lad.

0:39:070:39:10

-At £60, £60 bid. At £60 only, at £60. There's the bid.

-£60?

-Go on!

0:39:100:39:16

-Is there any more? I sell then at £60 and sold, thank you.

-Thank you!

0:39:160:39:20

Plus £15.

0:39:200:39:22

Now you made a profit of £40 on the last lot, so, currently, you are...

0:39:220:39:28

£55 up.

0:39:280:39:29

183 is a brown bottle.

0:39:290:39:33

-God help this, I don't know.

-£28.

-Come on!

0:39:330:39:36

-Quickly, £20. Someone, quickly. £10 anywhere?

-Go on!

0:39:360:39:40

£10, £10 bid at £10, £10. £10 only at £10 on the net bid. £10.

0:39:400:39:45

-At £10 anyway.

-Anyone waving around?

-Is there any further interest?

0:39:450:39:49

-Please!

-Only bid here at £10. I'm trying.

-You are trying!

0:39:490:39:53

-There's the bid at £10 and I sell at

-£10. Uh-oh!

-Oh.

0:39:530:39:58

-And thank you.

-That's minus £18. You had £55, you've now got £45.

0:39:580:40:03

You got £40, you've got £37, plus £37.

0:40:030:40:06

What are you going to do about the teddy? You going with the teddy?

0:40:060:40:09

-We'll go for it.

-Going with the teddy?

0:40:090:40:11

You bought the teddy for £7. OK, we're going with the bonus buy.

0:40:110:40:14

His estimate is about £15. So you've only paid £7, Dave.

0:40:140:40:19

So with any luck, it will turn in a result.

0:40:190:40:21

Anyway, coming up next is the pink teddy bear about which

0:40:210:40:24

I have been extremely rude.

0:40:240:40:26

There you are, the teddy bear.

0:40:260:40:28

-Thank you for that.

-Yeah, not at all. It's a pleasure.

0:40:280:40:31

Well, I don't quite know how you've done it,

0:40:310:40:33

-but I've got two commissioned bids.

-Yes!

-I'll start at £50.

0:40:330:40:36

No!

0:40:360:40:37

ALL LAUGH

0:40:370:40:40

£50, £50 bid at £50, at £50 only.

0:40:400:40:43

ALL LAUGH

0:40:430:40:44

-Is there any more at all?

-Go on!

0:40:440:40:46

Shut up.

0:40:460:40:47

ALL LAUGH

0:40:470:40:49

No! This is ridiculous.

0:40:490:40:52

-We're done at £50.

-Yeah!

0:40:520:40:55

-Well, give him a hug, for God's sake!

-Well done.

0:40:550:40:59

-Well done!

-£43! I know nothing. I know absolutely nothing.

0:40:590:41:07

Well done, mate. OK, that is plus £43.

0:41:070:41:09

-You had £37 before, which takes you £40, £70... It takes you to £80.

-Wow!

0:41:090:41:14

That is plus £80.

0:41:140:41:17

You've spent, you guys, £90 total, including the bonus buy

0:41:170:41:22

and you are going away with £80 profits.

0:41:220:41:25

This is phenomenal.

0:41:250:41:27

One more for £40.

0:41:290:41:30

Well, isn't this marvellous?

0:41:360:41:38

To be out in the fresh air after so much excitement.

0:41:380:41:41

-Now, tell me, have you been chatting?

-Yeah, we have.

-You have?

-Yeah.

0:41:410:41:45

-Have you, about the score?

-No.

-Not about the score, that's all right.

0:41:450:41:49

So you've bonded up and your friends and now?

0:41:490:41:51

I've made lots of new friends.

0:41:510:41:52

You've made lots of friends but you haven't spilled the beans,

0:41:520:41:55

-have you, Caroline?

-No.

0:41:550:41:56

Fine, we'll keep that very, very quiet until now.

0:41:560:41:58

And that's because there is a gulf between the two teams today,

0:41:580:42:02

a gulf the like of which I haven't seen for yonks.

0:42:020:42:05

-Uh-oh!

-Because one team is substantially in profits

0:42:050:42:09

and the other has absolutely nothing and the team that's running up today,

0:42:090:42:14

-I'm afraid, substantially, are the Reds.

-Oh!

0:42:140:42:16

SHE GIGGLES

0:42:160:42:18

Which I'm afraid leaves you with minus £70.

0:42:180:42:20

That's OK, so I have to give you that?

0:42:200:42:22

No, don't worry about that, Karen.

0:42:220:42:23

SHE LAUGHS

0:42:230:42:24

There's no payback time. It's simply playback time.

0:42:240:42:28

But anyway, you've been very sporting

0:42:280:42:30

and we've loved having you on the show.

0:42:300:42:31

But the victors today are actually going home with £80.

0:42:310:42:35

There you go, Tel, There's your £80.

0:42:350:42:37

You've got £40 off that very plain and ordinary yellow art glass,

0:42:370:42:41

which was amazing and then the desk lamp made you £15 of profit.

0:42:410:42:45

Bit of disappointment with the brown bottle which was your only loser,

0:42:450:42:50

and the bear? I mean, what can I say?

0:42:500:42:53

The man paid £7 and you made £43 profit

0:42:530:42:57

-out of the bonus buy which is remarkable, Dave.

-Yes.

0:42:570:43:00

-And joking apart, I congratulate you.

-Thanks.

-Which is marvellous.

0:43:000:43:04

Anyway, we've had a great day.

0:43:040:43:06

Join us soon for some bargain hunting, yes? Yes!
