0:00:06 > 0:00:10We're at Europe's largest antiques fair
0:00:10 > 0:00:13with loads of goods from far and wide.
0:00:13 > 0:00:17We've got two teams who are raring to get going, so let's do it!
0:00:17 > 0:00:20Let's go bargain hunting. Yeah!
0:00:46 > 0:00:48We've come to Newark Showground
0:00:48 > 0:00:51because there's something big in town.
0:00:51 > 0:00:562,500 stalls spread over 84 acres.
0:00:56 > 0:01:01But with all this choice, is it going to be too much for our teams?
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Here's a quick peek as to what's coming up. Woo-hoo!
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Today, the Reds want it, but will they get it?
0:01:08 > 0:01:10We'll hang back. SHE GASPS
0:01:10 > 0:01:12They're on our stand! The blue team are on it!
0:01:15 > 0:01:19- While everything's just magic for the Blues.- What a team.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22As I said at the beginning, you guys are magic.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30But before we give the game away, let's meet the teams.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35So it's couples versus couples today.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39For the Reds, we've got a couple, Adam and Amy,
0:01:39 > 0:01:41versus the Blues, Esme and Stephen.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Hello, everyone. Lovely to see you.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Now, Amy, you met while you were studying. Is that right?
0:01:47 > 0:01:50We did, we did. We were together in the third year of university,
0:01:50 > 0:01:52but we met on the first year.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55But we didn't become a couple until the end, did we? Right at the end.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- And you were studying what? - Theatre Arts.- Oh, right.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02- So, are you an actress? - I was more backstage roles.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05I like to do things like set design and costume and props and things,
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- while Adam was a lot better at acting.- Oh, really?
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- Adam's really good.- That is a partnership, isn't it?
0:02:11 > 0:02:15- I mean, not everybody can be in front of the cameras.- Definitely. - Somebody's got to sort it all out.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17But three years later, actually,
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- you've got your feet on the ground now.- I do indeed, yes.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22I run and manage a podiatry clinic.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25So we sort out any sort of foot problem that you can possibly have
0:02:25 > 0:02:27and deal with them on a day-to-day basis.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30It's a funny old business, people's feet, isn't it?
0:02:30 > 0:02:33It's something that goes wrong more often than not.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36In the summer, it's not great either because they're a lot more smelly.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39You must have to get a couple of clothes pegs out.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43We have to get the gloves on and the masks on and get quite close up.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- Adam, it says here you're a sales advisor.- I am.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48But you have worked as a pawn broker too.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Yes, my previous job was working at a pawn brokers.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54I like to think, from that, I know a quite a little bit about jewellery.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- Are you interested in gem stones and all that?- I am, yeah.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00I just like the colours of them really, in all honesty,
0:03:00 > 0:03:02that's the first thing that brought my eye to them,
0:03:02 > 0:03:06but I've learned a little bit more about it since so I've got a bit of interest in it.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09So what is your plan today on Bargain Hunt? Do you have one?
0:03:09 > 0:03:12We've got a little bit of a plan.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Obviously, we want to save some money for our expert.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18- But we're looking for something that's...- A bit interesting.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20- It's all down to price, is it? - It's what's going to make a profit.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23To Adam, it's down to price, I like things that are a bit different
0:03:23 > 0:03:26so something that will stand out, definitely.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Well, it'll be fun anyway and thank you very much for joining us. Good.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Now, Esme, how did you two meet?
0:03:31 > 0:03:34We met in our local pub on a Saturday night
0:03:34 > 0:03:38and, following that day, we spent about three weeks together...
0:03:38 > 0:03:43- Talking on the phone and stuff. - ..talking on the phone.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47- You now have a daughter.- We do. We've got four daughters between us.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51- Have you?- But we've got a daughter together, Maria. She's one.
0:03:51 > 0:03:56- How nice. You're in your first week of your new job.- I am.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- It's taking the 999 operator calls. - Oh, is it?
0:03:59 > 0:04:04Obviously, high pressure, stressful job, very important job as well,
0:04:04 > 0:04:08because the first point of contact in an emergency.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Obviously, you phone 999, it's sort of life-threatening,
0:04:12 > 0:04:15time critical issues, really.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18They're speaking to me, so big responsibility on my shoulders.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21What sort of training do you have to do for that job?
0:04:21 > 0:04:25Well, in total, there's going to be six or seven weeks
0:04:25 > 0:04:27of full-time training.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30That's learning all the rules, the systems, the laws.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33- Good luck with it.- Thank you.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Stephen, it says here you've got a few tricks up your sleeve.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39I don't keep tricks up my sleeve apart from an ace,
0:04:39 > 0:04:42which I like to keep there just in case.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45I've been doing magic for about 25 years now,
0:04:45 > 0:04:47semi-professionally I would like to say.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51I go out and perform at a few weddings and parties and stuff.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54But I also teach magic and I also create magic
0:04:54 > 0:04:57and sell it at conventions to other magicians.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00So, do you intend, between you, to pull a rabbit out of the hat today?
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- Yeah, we hope so.- We'd like a massive profit, hopefully.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08- Yeah, yeah.- A massive profit.- We'll be on the case.- You never know!
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Anyway, £300 apiece, you've got the money, you know the rules
0:05:12 > 0:05:15and your experts await. Off you go! Very good luck.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18There could be some magic today.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19So, who are today's experts?
0:05:21 > 0:05:25Aye, aye! We've got Chris Gower on the lookout for the Reds.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30And pumping up the profits for the Blues, it's Anita Manning.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Guys, we've got £300, we've got an hour.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38- Do you think we're going to be able to magic up some profits?- Easy.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Absolutely. I love your confidence.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Amy, what are you looking for today?
0:05:42 > 0:05:46- Something a bit different, something a bit weird.- I like that very much.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50- We're not going to put all our eggs in one basket.- Very sensible.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Probably three different categories, a bit of silver,
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- a bit of jewellery. - Something obscure, a bit weird.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Very obscure, a bit weird.
0:05:57 > 0:06:02- And Adam?- I've got a history in pawn broking, so I would say something sparkly.- Fantastic!
0:06:02 > 0:06:05You know exactly what you're doing, that's what I like.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06Let's go!
0:06:06 > 0:06:09So why don't we let our feet do the walking?
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Yes, and I'll do the talking! Your 60 minutes starts now!
0:06:15 > 0:06:18This is the palace of our dreams. We're going to make a mint here.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26- Wow! A splash of colour here.- Yes, there's definitely a lot of colour.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- Lot of colour.- I like everything.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Well, Amy is a bit of a gem herself.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Right, what can the Blues dish us up?
0:06:36 > 0:06:41That's a nice wee tray. Silver, Walker & Hall.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44There'll be a hallmark there, but the dealer has looked up
0:06:44 > 0:06:48and discovered that it's Birmingham 1905
0:06:48 > 0:06:51so it's just at the beginning of the 20th century.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54And it's very nicely decorated.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56It's a nice pierced little dish,
0:06:56 > 0:07:00but it's the first thing we've looked at,
0:07:00 > 0:07:03so let's keep it in mind and we can always come back.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07But remember, time does slip away fast in this game,
0:07:07 > 0:07:10especially in a fair of this size.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12Let's go inside.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Yeah, I think that's where the jewellery and silver will be.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17All the shiny stuff for you!
0:07:17 > 0:07:20What's that Amy's eyeing up now?
0:07:20 > 0:07:22I don't know if they're a bit too quirky!
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- You like the eyeballs? - I do like them.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30- Lots of sparkly things for you there.- Yeah, there is, isn't there?
0:07:34 > 0:07:39Amy, if Adam was to offer you any of those, which one would you go for?
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- This one.- Funny enough, I would too.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Yeah, well, I have to be with her, to be honest!
0:07:45 > 0:07:47But, yeah, I like that one.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Shall we find out how much that one is?
0:07:49 > 0:07:53- What would be your best price? - 90, I think.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- I could do that at 90 for you. - Do 90?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57What do you think, Chris?
0:07:57 > 0:08:01I think it's well worth 90, but we've always got to consider
0:08:01 > 0:08:03- we're here to make a profit. - Yes.- Yes.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- Thank you, sir, do you mind if we put this..?- Been a pleasure.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- Have a good look round and enjoy it. - Thank you.- Thank you very much.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13So no ring yet for Amy,
0:08:13 > 0:08:17but have the Blues managed to pin anything down?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Have you seen something?- Yeah.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- We quite like that little pin sort of...- A tie pin or is a brooch pin?
0:08:23 > 0:08:27- Brooch pin thing. - Could we have a wee look at that?
0:08:27 > 0:08:31That's great. Thank you very much. What do you think to that?
0:08:31 > 0:08:35- It's very pretty.- Is the price on it?- Yeah, she's got in at £47.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- Can I have a wee look at it? - Yeah, course.
0:08:38 > 0:08:43The first thing I can see is that it's 15 carat and that's good.
0:08:43 > 0:08:48It's a high carat gold, so that is an indication of some quality.
0:08:48 > 0:08:5315 carat was one of the British standards for high quality gold
0:08:53 > 0:08:56until 1932, so at least the team can be certain
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- it was made before then. - I think it's very sweet.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03What we have here are little rubies and seed pearls.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07It's a nice combination.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11It is wee. Who's good at bargaining?
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Me, I hope. Excuse me.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- Hiya.- Hello.- We really like this.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Obviously the price tag says 47.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- 35.- Would you do 30?
0:09:23 > 0:09:2635 is the best.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- What do you think? That's not bad. - No, I like it.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- Would you split the difference? 32.50?- 32.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36- 32. Thank you very much.- Do you have a wee box we could put it in?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Yes, you're right, Anita, it's all in the presentation.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43That's one down, two to go, well done. Yeah, brilliant.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Well done indeed. We're about 15 minutes in so, Reds,
0:09:46 > 0:09:49it's about time you served something up.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53What would this have been used for?
0:09:53 > 0:09:57This is a 1930s salad bowl with original '30s salad servers.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59This is in great condition.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Americans go crazy for this sort of thing.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Do you know what else I like about it?
0:10:04 > 0:10:07This cartouche here, no-one's put their engraving on
0:10:07 > 0:10:11so whoever buys this could put their own initials on.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15- I like the idea of that.- And the bowl here's perfect. I love that.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- How much is it? - Well, it's £160.- OK.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- It's a lot of money.- It is.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25I know that these things sell well at auction, though, you know.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- OK.- Let's find out. - Yeah, let's find out.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- How much is this, please? - 140.- 140's the best?
0:10:35 > 0:10:39- That's still quite a bit.- That's nearly half of our budget.- Yeah.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Do you think it will go?
0:10:41 > 0:10:44On a good day, if I have to be honest,
0:10:44 > 0:10:50150, 160 would be its maximum. It's not ever going to make £200.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Again, I think this should go on our possible list.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- A come back to list. - We're still early on the game.
0:10:56 > 0:10:57I think that's so elegant.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Elegant but a rather high price to pay for a salad.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08Come on, you lot, time's a-ticking and I could do with a wee dram.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Have you found more shiny, sparkly things?
0:11:11 > 0:11:15- We're having a bit of a disagreement about this one.- Oh, right. Aha.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17It looks Indian.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21- It might be like a low-grade silver. - Mm-hm.
0:11:23 > 0:11:28It looks as if that could be a little tot measure.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30That's what I was thinking, for whiskies.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34I think the bottle's the original bottle for it.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36£68 when it's not silvered
0:11:36 > 0:11:39but you're taking a change on somebody thinking
0:11:39 > 0:11:43that's quite an interesting item.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47I think maybe, if the price, if we get the price right...
0:11:47 > 0:11:50I'm going to try at 50.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53If he says no, how about 55?
0:11:53 > 0:11:55- Yeah.- I'll try.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58If you've got a good feeling about it, then I trust you.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02Sometimes it's a good idea just to use your instinct.
0:12:02 > 0:12:07- Yeah, I do, I trust you. If you're wrong, I'll say after.- No worries.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- I'll go and smile nicely. - Yeah, go on, then.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11Give it your best shot, Stephen.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14You Reds, we're coming up to the halfway mark
0:12:14 > 0:12:17so I need you to break the mould and buy something.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19What are they?
0:12:19 > 0:12:23- Are they moulds?- These are moulds. Oh, I see, it's on a tray.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25- OK.- OK, it's on a tray.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- What would they be used for? - Jellies, mousses.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35- So they are literally food moulds. - They look lovely.
0:12:35 > 0:12:36- These are all fish.- Yeah.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40- It wouldn't be jelly in the shape of fish.- OK.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42It would be mousse or something else.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Beautifully culinary,
0:12:44 > 0:12:48set and then turned over quickly and just gently...
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Wiggle them out. I like that, I think that's cute.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56- Eight pounds.- Eight pounds.
0:12:56 > 0:12:57Eight pounds?
0:12:58 > 0:13:00It's not a work of art.
0:13:00 > 0:13:06It's a piece of late Victorian kitchen memorabilia, possibly French
0:13:06 > 0:13:09because the French did a lot more of these sort moulds.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Do you think somebody might attach that to something
0:13:12 > 0:13:16- and have it on display, possibly? - Definitely, yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19I like a lot of things which this lady's got.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- Yeah, I've seen a couple of things, yeah.- What's this?
0:13:22 > 0:13:26- A miniature letter rack.- Aw!
0:13:27 > 0:13:31You'd hang this, flip these out
0:13:31 > 0:13:35- or possibly for menu cards.- Yeah.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38It's only £12, it's a nice little...
0:13:38 > 0:13:41It's really nice, I really like that.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44It's along the same sort of lines as this. It's got a nice feel about it.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Sure, sure. A nice homely feel about it.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50We're building up a real list, aren't we?
0:13:50 > 0:13:51A buy would have been better.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54So, Stephen, any joy on the bottle sleeve?
0:13:56 > 0:14:00- Got it for 55.- Yeah.- Are you happy? - I'm well happy. Well happy for that.
0:14:00 > 0:14:05- That's two down, two down. - Yes, two down. What a team.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08As I said at the beginning, you guys are magic.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12Yes, and the trick is to actually purchase something
0:14:12 > 0:14:13and I mean you, Red team.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Do you know, can I really shock you here?
0:14:19 > 0:14:22We think we've taken minutes, right, we've taken half an hour.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25We're halfway through. Nothing! Nothing!
0:14:25 > 0:14:29And the Blue team only have one item left to find.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31So, Reds, look carefully
0:14:31 > 0:14:35as there could be something right under your nose.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39This lovely walnut snuff box.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Very nice. Nice Victorian piece that.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46I'll tell you what else is really different.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49This light wood, blonde wood.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Do you know what it is?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Are they parts from inside a watch?
0:14:53 > 0:14:58- 100% right. Isn't that nice? - I wouldn't have said that.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01- It's very nice, I think we should get these two things.- Definitely.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03- And use it as one lot.- Yeah.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Because whoever likes this is bound to like this.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09- So I think we should make this an attractive... - I think that's an idea.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11- Shall we ask the dealer? - Yes, please.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15Madam, we're taken with a lot of your things
0:15:15 > 0:15:18- but these two things in particular.- 55.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20- 55!- 55.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23- I don't think we can say no, can we?- No.- I don't think we can.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25No. Deal.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30At last, you've made your first purchase.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34- We still like the salad bowl, don't we?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:15:34 > 0:15:39Shall we try sending her along first? Shall we do that?
0:15:39 > 0:15:41- See what you can do. - Shall we just hold back, Adam?
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- I think that's probably a good idea. - You've got a job on your hands.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48- Shall we try it?- We'll try it. - Blink.- Let's hope it's still there.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52We'll hang back, Chris.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54- SHE GASPS - They're on our stand!
0:15:54 > 0:15:56The Blue team are on it.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01That's why it's not always wise to walk away from a sale.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04But while the Blues are dangerously close to that salad bowl,
0:16:04 > 0:16:07is there anything you can go back for?
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- She's packing up.- She's packing up. - Well, if she's packing up...
0:16:11 > 0:16:14We can go and ask her quickly for the little thing, the drawers,
0:16:14 > 0:16:18- the little paper holders. - Do you like them?- I like them.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22- I prefer them to the fish.- I don't know if I prefer the fish or them.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Why don't we do the same? Buy the two things together.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29- It's still only £20 or thereabouts. - Possibly cheaper?- Shall we do that?
0:16:29 > 0:16:33- Possibly even cheaper.- Get the fish, get the letter holder too.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38- Yeah.- Yeah?- Shall we do that? Do you want me to go and get them?- Yeah.
0:16:38 > 0:16:43- Or shall we all go?- Let's go. - Come on.- Let's go get them.
0:16:43 > 0:16:44You do that.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48But what have the Blues sniffed out?
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Quite a nice wee box.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54It's like a leather box with this white metal little plate
0:16:54 > 0:16:56or little oval in here.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01It's made of leather which has been tooled round here to form
0:17:01 > 0:17:03a very nice pattern.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06I think it's late 19th century, early 20th century.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12It would have belonged to a lady of some standing.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15The little perfume decanters are lovely.
0:17:16 > 0:17:21- They are a ruby glass and they have these nice little dimples.- Yeah.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24- I quite like that. - Yeah, I did like them.
0:17:24 > 0:17:29When you told me that it was perfume bottles in a box at £110,
0:17:29 > 0:17:32I thought it sounds too much.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34But you've picked up a nice quality item.
0:17:34 > 0:17:39I mean, what women wouldn't want that sat on their chest of drawers next to their bed?
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- I think it's stunning.- It's really all got to do with price.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- Yeah. Again, yeah. - Are you going to try and...?
0:17:45 > 0:17:48If that was in, if that was in auction,
0:17:48 > 0:17:54I would probably be estimating it £60-£80.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- Ah, right. - But it might do more than that.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59- What do you think? - I don't think they'll drop to £80,
0:17:59 > 0:18:01but it's up to you.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05- It's up to you. - Do you want to try?- Yeah.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08I can always ask, there's no harm in asking, is there?
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- See if you can get it for 50. - Yeah.- You won't.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15- I'll go and ask now.- Go and ask and see how you do on that.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Remember, the value at auction
0:18:17 > 0:18:20is only what someone is willing to pay for it.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Now, we're in the final 15 minutes
0:18:24 > 0:18:27so were the Reds quick enough to wrap up a deal?
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- Thank you very much. Here we go, guys.- Lovely.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32You've got one, you've got the other.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34That looks more like fish and chips than antiques.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Anyway, well done for getting them both for £15.
0:18:37 > 0:18:42- Happy?- Yeah.- Very happy.- Now it's the salad bowl.- Definitely.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45But those Blues are still on that stall.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49So, if you want that bowl, Amy, you may just need to sneak in and get it.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51- Shall I just get it? - I think you have to.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54We might have to lick our wounds and go for it.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57- 140.- Are we all happy about it?
0:18:57 > 0:18:59- You'd better go.- 140.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Let's send her, she's the envoy now.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Can we please have it for 140? Will that be all right?
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Sorted! That's your third item done.
0:19:10 > 0:19:17Have the Blues also struck their final deal on the perfume bottles for £80?
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Three items. You've done it all yourself.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24- I couldn't have asked for a better team.- Aw!
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Time's up. Let's check out what fishy business those Reds got up to.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36Adam and Amy were drawn to this snuff box and specimen box
0:19:36 > 0:19:39and got them for one lot for £55.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Then they got fish and rack for £15.
0:19:45 > 0:19:50And finally they threw this salad bowl into the mix for £140.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Well, we got it in the end, didn't we, against all the odds,
0:19:54 > 0:19:56that salad bowl. My goodness it was hard work.
0:19:56 > 0:20:01- Not salad weather though, is it?- Not at all.- It's chilly enough. Gosh.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Now, tell me which is your favourite bit, Amy?
0:20:04 > 0:20:07I preferred the specimen, the little trinket specimen box we got.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10That was your favourite? Do you agree with that, Ad?
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- Um, I think, I like the letter holder myself.- Did you?
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Is that going to bring the biggest profit?
0:20:16 > 0:20:19No, I think it possibly might be Amy's favourite that makes
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- the biggest profit.- OK. And you spent how much?- £210 in total.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Lovely, I'd like £90 of my favourite lolly please.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29Thank you very much, Adam. That seems all present and correct.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31- Thank you very much. - A little challenge for you.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- It's a decent amount, isn't it? Thank you.- No problem.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Good luck, Chris. Good luck, team.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:20:38 > 0:20:43Esme and Stephen were willing to pin their hopes on this 15 carat
0:20:43 > 0:20:47pearl and ruby brooch. £32 paid.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53They then slipped in this bottle sleeve and cover for £55.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57And for their final item, they tapped into these
0:20:57 > 0:21:00ruby glass perfume bottles and secured them for £80.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06- So, how was it for you? Lovely?- Amazing.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Was it amazing, amazing? How much did you spend?
0:21:09 > 0:21:12- We spent £167.- You spent 167.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15I would like 133, please.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17- I've got that for you here. - Thank you very much.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Tell me, Stephen, which is your favourite piece?
0:21:20 > 0:21:24It's got to be the first piece which was the brooch with the rubies and diamonds.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27- That's your favourite favourite? - Yes.- Do you agree with that?
0:21:27 > 0:21:28Not really!
0:21:30 > 0:21:33I chose two little perfume bottles in a leather box.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35They're my personal favourite.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Are they going to bring the biggest prize?
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- I think they are.- Stephen?- Probably the bottle, the middle one.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44We're probably both wrong. It's probably the bottle we bought in the middle.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Were they all over the place for the shopping like this?
0:21:47 > 0:21:49- No, they were perfect. - Were they perfect?
0:21:49 > 0:21:51It's only afterwards with consideration.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54We'll find out at the auction which is the fun bit. Good.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Here you go, Anita, you're going to go shopping.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- Yes, and I'm going to enjoy it with all this money.- I bet you will.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Good luck with that.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07Time for a history lesson now and we're off to Derby Cathedral
0:22:07 > 0:22:11to find out about a craftsman called Robert Bakewell,
0:22:11 > 0:22:15who has nothing to do with the pastry-based confection.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25The history of Derby Cathedral goes back centuries.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29It's believed it started life as a simple church in the year 943,
0:22:29 > 0:22:32evolving over the years to eventually
0:22:32 > 0:22:35become a fully-fledged cathedral in 1927.
0:22:35 > 0:22:40One of its finest features is the elaborate ironwork of Robert Bakewell.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44These are appropriately known as the Bakewell Gates.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51Robert Bakewell was born in 1682 in Uttoxeter,
0:22:51 > 0:22:54the son of a blacksmith.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58At the age of 14, he went to London as an apprentice
0:22:58 > 0:23:03and that set him squarely on his path to becoming one of the most
0:23:03 > 0:23:06sought after workers in iron in England.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11The Bakewell Screen, as it's known,
0:23:11 > 0:23:15is made up of wrought iron and forms the central feature.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19It's believed to have been commissioned around 1725.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25At the top, you can see the royal coat of arms of King George II.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Now we're going to meet Simon Grant-Jones
0:23:31 > 0:23:33who's a traditional blacksmith from Dorset
0:23:33 > 0:23:36who has a passion for Robert Bakewell.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38- Good morning, Simon.- Morning. - Nice to see you.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Tell us what's so special about Robert Bakewell.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45Robert Bakewell, he was really our first home-grown
0:23:45 > 0:23:47blacksmith of any note.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49He did several prestigious commissions
0:23:49 > 0:23:52and he returned to this area, the Derbyshire area,
0:23:52 > 0:23:54where he did these gates.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Now, what makes these, visually, so charming, I think,
0:23:57 > 0:24:01is the application of all the finely wrought foliage
0:24:01 > 0:24:05and so forth. How would you go about it?
0:24:05 > 0:24:08I mean, take that piece, does that represent the skeleton
0:24:08 > 0:24:11of the screen we see behind us?
0:24:11 > 0:24:14This is something that I made as part of my training.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17It's exactly how Bakewell would have done it.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20There's one, two, three scrolls and they're actually welded together,
0:24:20 > 0:24:24what we call a branch weld, and then this piece here
0:24:24 > 0:24:27is butt-welded onto it, so we've got four pieces.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Then when it comes to the decoration,
0:24:29 > 0:24:33the fancy, sexy bit of gilding, how does that come about?
0:24:34 > 0:24:37- This is what greatly enhances the piece.- Wow!
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Sure does. This is an acanthus leaf.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44This is an acanthus leaf. It's a very common form of ornament.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48It's loose-leaf gilding and we apply a size, which is a glue.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51We let the glue go tacky and then we actually lay on
0:24:51 > 0:24:54- very micro thin pieces of real gold.- Right.
0:24:54 > 0:24:5723 and three quarter carat gold leaf, this is.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00- Which is wafer thin. - That's right, it is.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03What sort of tools were used to create these panels?
0:25:03 > 0:25:06So, the sort of tools that we would have used would be
0:25:06 > 0:25:12- traditional tools like this.- Is that used for this embossing or not?
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Yes, yes, this would actually be used over a stake, a lead stake
0:25:15 > 0:25:18and you'd actually use this to hammer the edges round.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22You'd use different-shaped hammers like that to get the detail in there.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25- I see.- Then you'd use straight pane hammers to actually
0:25:25 > 0:25:28hammer out the veining on the leaves.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32If you had to have a guesstimate as to how long, today, in your forge
0:25:32 > 0:25:35it would take you to create this?
0:25:35 > 0:25:38- I would think it would be easily five years' work.- Yeah.
0:25:38 > 0:25:43And how much do you think Robert Bakewell was paid in 1725
0:25:43 > 0:25:45- for all this work? - I'd really like to know.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48£338, ten shillings.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51It would be interesting to know what that equates to in today's money.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55Well, five years' worth of your time would be a bit more than that, right?
0:25:55 > 0:25:57I would hope so, yes.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01It's very nice to meet you and thank you very much for that information.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Now we're going to trot off to the auction just outside Derby
0:26:03 > 0:26:07to find out what sort of a profit our teams are about to wrought.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25I can't tell you how gorgeous it is to be with Isobel Murtough today
0:26:25 > 0:26:30at Hansons Auction Room at Etwall on the outskirts of Derby. Isobel.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33- Wonderful to have you.- Thank you very much, it's lovely to be back.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37Now first up, for Adam and Amy we've got
0:26:37 > 0:26:40these two wee bits of tureen.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43I mean, I like this, because it's got a concealed hinge
0:26:43 > 0:26:47and it's quite cleverly made, but these things, snuff boxes like this,
0:26:47 > 0:26:48- are dead bog-standard.- They are.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51They're very common, we see them in every sale.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53But it's pretty with the mother of pearl inlay.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57- It's in reasonable nick.- Yes. Nasty crack there but anyway, as you say
0:26:57 > 0:27:01not too bad, which is probably worth, what? Is that worth £10-£15?
0:27:01 > 0:27:05- Yes, it's worth £10. - How do you rate yours?
0:27:05 > 0:27:09It's very sweet, we've got a lovely 19th=century display box.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13- Could be used for gaming with a little dice.- Yes.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16- What's inside now?- We've got a couple of watch parts to it.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20- Right.- But I don't think they're original to the box.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24The two together in one lot.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28- We've put a very generous £10-£15. - How much?!
0:27:28 > 0:27:31It's going to interest those buyers.
0:27:31 > 0:27:36£55 was paid by the team so they're probably not that far off.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39I don't want to be depressing them in any way.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43Anyway, that's that lot together and I'll pop them back.
0:27:43 > 0:27:48Next is a weird lot with six fishy moulds welded together
0:27:48 > 0:27:52on a bit of metal plus a letter rack,
0:27:52 > 0:27:54so I'm not so keen about that, but what do you think?
0:27:54 > 0:27:59They're not my cup of tea. I wouldn't like to put my mousse in the moulds.
0:27:59 > 0:28:00- Would you not?- No.
0:28:00 > 0:28:05Well, I think, what with the rust and that rather nasty brown stuff in there.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09So, um, kitchenalia and a bit of stationery rack,
0:28:09 > 0:28:12is something or nothing really, isn't it? How much?
0:28:12 > 0:28:15- £5-£10.- Perfect. £15 they paid.
0:28:15 > 0:28:20Their last item, though, they have invested heavily in this salad bowl.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23I guess it dates from about 1930.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Nice oak bowl with the plated furniture
0:28:26 > 0:28:29- and original ceramic liner. - Yes, which is good, isn't it?- Yes.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31- What's your estimate?- 30-40.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34I had a horrible feeling you were going to say that.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36- They paid £140 for this.- Wow.
0:28:36 > 0:28:41I'm afraid they're unlikely to dig themselves out of that pit
0:28:41 > 0:28:44and they're definitely going to need their bonus buy.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47- Well, guys, how are you feeling? - Very good, thank you.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51You spent a monster amount. You only gave him £90. Chris, what did you spent it on?
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Well, I spent every penny of that £90
0:28:53 > 0:28:56and I had to grovel for this.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58Voila!
0:28:58 > 0:29:04It's an entree dish, a serving dish, tureen, chafing dish.
0:29:04 > 0:29:09But what I love about it, it's square and it's quite old.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12I think it's early 19th century, perhaps even a bit earlier.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14Why don't you take that lid, Amy.
0:29:16 > 0:29:20- Adam. It's silver plate not silver. - Right.
0:29:20 > 0:29:21£90.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23How much profit is it going to make?
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Well, it isn't going to make a fortune
0:29:25 > 0:29:27but if it makes £110, I'll be very happy.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31OK. Lovely. You've got a bit of a prediction there, there might be £20 in it.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34That's what you have to weigh up at the moment, critique,
0:29:34 > 0:29:36after the sale of your first three items.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38Right now, for the audience at home, let's find out
0:29:38 > 0:29:41what the auctioneer thinks about Chris's entree dish.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46OK, Isobel, there you go. Some more of your favourite plated wares.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48Love it!
0:29:49 > 0:29:52Well, we have an entree dish here in three parts.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54It's electroplate.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56Erm...
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Cast handle there.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01It's got some decorative qualities to it.
0:30:01 > 0:30:05Well, I don't know about you, but I see this stuff as being
0:30:05 > 0:30:09incredibly difficult to sell in today's market. Who wants it?
0:30:09 > 0:30:10That's it, Tim.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14Usually we put them in a group lot again with plated wares.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17And how much would you expect to get for that one on its jacksie?
0:30:17 > 0:30:22- A generous 20 to 30. - OK, £90 paid as a bonus buy.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:30:25 > 0:30:30And this looks a bit more promising over here. The seed pearl brooch.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32- Do you like that? - I love it. Very pretty.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36The rubies and seed pearls, on a 15-carat gold bar,
0:30:36 > 0:30:39- it's very evocative of the Edwardian period.- Isn't it just?
0:30:39 > 0:30:41And good quality.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44Not missing any pearls or any stones, so that's good.
0:30:44 > 0:30:45- Hardly been used.- Yes.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48And 15-carat, you don't get that today, do you?
0:30:48 > 0:30:51No, it was Edwardians that were the last to use it, really.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54- Yes, so it proves it has got some age.- Yes.
0:30:54 > 0:30:58And I think it is a charming thing. We could get quite worked up about that, couldn't we?
0:30:58 > 0:31:01- I think so.- Yeah, how worked up are you going to get?- 40 to 60.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04That's quite worked up. It's a good deal better than £32 paid,
0:31:04 > 0:31:07so that should be a profit, which would be lovely.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11And then we've got this white metal, probably Indian,
0:31:11 > 0:31:13cos it's got heffalumps on, right?
0:31:13 > 0:31:14Yes. I love it.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17I think it's lovely decoration and detail with the paste work
0:31:17 > 0:31:21and the engraved elephants. I think it's very pretty.
0:31:21 > 0:31:26- OK, so what is your estimate, Isabel?- 100 to 150.- Wow, £55 paid.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29So there is another potential profit there. Super.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33And the last item is the leather-covered box with
0:31:33 > 0:31:37- the scent decanters in.- Yes, they are very pretty. Love the box.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39It's got a nice, probably silver,
0:31:39 > 0:31:43cartouche on the top with a family crest.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46- And the bottle is really pretty. - In cranberry or something?- Yeah.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49Just fish one out. Let's have a bird's-eye.
0:31:49 > 0:31:54- Oh, yes, cranberry. Isn't that lovely?- Ever so sweet.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58- And you've got a key to the box? - Key to the box.- Oh!
0:31:58 > 0:32:02- They are really sweet.- This is magic, isn't it?- Stoppers are in...
0:32:02 > 0:32:05well, not too bad order. They are really nice.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08OK, well, we like that very much. So how much for that?
0:32:08 > 0:32:11- 60 to 80.- £80 paid. So they are in the frame. On the face of it, then,
0:32:11 > 0:32:13this team are not going to need their bonus buy,
0:32:13 > 0:32:16but let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:32:16 > 0:32:21OK, team, you spent 167, you gave Anita Manning £133,
0:32:21 > 0:32:23which is quite a lot.
0:32:23 > 0:32:24Anita, what did you spend it on?
0:32:24 > 0:32:30These guys are mad about magic, and I was looking for a magician's wand
0:32:30 > 0:32:33that might magic us up a little bit of profit.
0:32:33 > 0:32:34Couldn't find one,
0:32:34 > 0:32:37but I bought something which was ve-e-ery similar.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39- Oh! - ANITA LAUGHS
0:32:39 > 0:32:43This is a choirmaster's baton and it was
0:32:43 > 0:32:48used by the choirmaster in the Lambeth Ragged School choir.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52And that is inscribed on the little silver band here.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55And I thought that was quite charming. Tell me what you think.
0:32:55 > 0:32:59- I take it this is silver? - Silver, yes.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02- Most important thing - how much did you pay for it?- £60.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06- It's a piece...- Yeah!
0:33:06 > 0:33:08THEY LAUGH
0:33:08 > 0:33:10And choirmasters' batons are collectable.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12I was just about to ask that!
0:33:12 > 0:33:15- So we could keep our fingers crossed on it.- OK, yeah.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17- Very good.- Thank you, Anita.
0:33:17 > 0:33:21Meanwhile, we're going to check out with the auctioneer what she thinks of Anita's baton.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Well, that's rather handsome, isn't it?
0:33:24 > 0:33:27Yes, sweet little choirmaster's baton.
0:33:27 > 0:33:32- Mm-hm.- Yes. It is engraved here by the Lambeth Ragged School.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35I think it's relating to a school for the poor
0:33:35 > 0:33:38or poor children in Victorian times.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41- So they are in rags at school, effectively?- Yeah, yeah.
0:33:41 > 0:33:47OK, well, that's a nice historical moment. Thank you for that.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50£60 the great Anita Manning has expended.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52Will she get her money back, do you think?
0:33:52 > 0:33:55I've put 40 to 60, so we could just make it.
0:33:55 > 0:33:56Well, that would be brilliant.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59Anyway, let's hope it strikes the right note.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02Thank you very much, Isabel, and we'll look forward to the auction.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09At 25...
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Now, Adam and Eve... Sorry, Adam and Amy!
0:34:13 > 0:34:15She responded very well to that.
0:34:15 > 0:34:19OK, first up are the two wee boxes, and here they come.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22Lot 148, the early Victorian burr walnut snuffbox
0:34:22 > 0:34:24and the little specimen box.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26There we go, two in the lot.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29And who will start me at just £10 for the two?
0:34:29 > 0:34:33Not expensive for £10 for two. Hands everywhere.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Ten and 12, sir, 12 and 15,
0:34:35 > 0:34:3815, 18, 18 and 20.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40I have got 20 on the net.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43And two, 22, 25, 28.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45£25 lady has bid in the centre.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47Do I see eight on the net now?
0:34:47 > 0:34:49We have done better than I thought already.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51And 30, 30 is bid, and two.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53At £32, I have...
0:34:53 > 0:34:55It's on the net at £32.
0:34:55 > 0:35:00Minus £23. I feel there's more money in that somewhere.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03- I think it could have done slightly better.- Minus 23, I'm afraid.
0:35:03 > 0:35:07Not today. Anyway, now, here comes the oddball moose.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Lot 149. There we go, thank you.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13The Edwardian oak and brass wall-mounted menu holder.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16And the moose dishes, there we go, two in the lot.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19And I have a bid on commission of £10.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22£10 I'm bid. 12 I have in room.
0:35:22 > 0:35:2515, it is now. 18 is bid, sir. And 20.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27- You're in profit, well done. - There we go.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29At 20, and two.
0:35:30 > 0:35:3222, and five, sir.
0:35:32 > 0:35:3425, and eight now.
0:35:34 > 0:35:3630 on the aisle, and two now.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38At £30...
0:35:38 > 0:35:43- That...doubled your money. - Told you.- Very good!
0:35:43 > 0:35:46Make no mistake, we'll sell. Do I see two in the room? Two, she's back.
0:35:46 > 0:35:50Can't resist. All done at 32?
0:35:51 > 0:35:57That is plus 17. You were minus 23, so that means you're minus 6.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59Now, here comes the bowl.
0:35:59 > 0:36:03150, the early 20th-century oak salad bowl,
0:36:03 > 0:36:07with the original ceramic liner, in wonderful condition.
0:36:07 > 0:36:08What shall we say? £20.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11At 20. I've got £20 standing, and five now.
0:36:11 > 0:36:1525, and 30. 30, would you like?
0:36:15 > 0:36:16We've got time.
0:36:16 > 0:36:20No, she says! At 25 to my right, 30 is it elsewhere?
0:36:20 > 0:36:23At £25, do I see 30 on the net?
0:36:23 > 0:36:27- Can't bear this.- £25 in the room... - £25!
0:36:27 > 0:36:31At £25, gavel is raised and we will sell at 25.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34That is minus 115.
0:36:34 > 0:36:38And then you had the six before, so it is minus 121.
0:36:38 > 0:36:43- So what are we going to do about this entree dish?- 121?- 121.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45- Let's cut our losses. - You're not going to go with it?
0:36:45 > 0:36:48- We're not going to go with it. - You're not going with it.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51But we're going to sell it anyway, and here it comes.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54There we are, the 19th-century, electroplated on copper,
0:36:54 > 0:36:58twin-handled entree dish and cover. £20 I'm bid on the internet.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00Do I see five in the room now?
0:37:00 > 0:37:03At £20, internet bid, do I see five elsewhere?
0:37:03 > 0:37:06It's with me at £20 on the net,
0:37:06 > 0:37:07but it's selling at £20.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10Make no mistake, gavel's raised at 20...
0:37:12 > 0:37:13Net takes it.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15Anyway, there we are, that's great.
0:37:15 > 0:37:20So minus 121 means that this could be equally bad for the Blues
0:37:20 > 0:37:23- and you could have a winning score. - It's within reach.
0:37:23 > 0:37:28- It is within reach. Well done... - It's possible!- Very beautifully said.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31- Anyway, the thing is, don't say a word to the Blues.- Yeah.- OK?
0:37:31 > 0:37:33- We won't.- Mum's the word? - Yeah.- Yeah.- Lovely.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42- Esme, Stephen, do you know how the Reds got on?- No.- No.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44No? Good. We don't want you to.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48First up is the brooch, and here it comes.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51Showing there, the Edwardian ruby and seed pearl bar brooch,
0:37:51 > 0:37:53and lots and lots of interest on commission.
0:37:53 > 0:37:59I have two bids and I can start this straight in at £55. 60 is it now?
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Look at that!
0:38:01 > 0:38:04At £55, it's on commission at 60 now.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07At £55, it's a really good buy.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09Come on, come on, some more!
0:38:09 > 0:38:12At £55, 60?
0:38:12 > 0:38:15Selling, gavel is raised, are you sure? Don't miss it for one.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17At £55...
0:38:18 > 0:38:22Plus £23. OK, now, here comes the bottle sleeve.
0:38:22 > 0:38:26171, the 19th-century Indian white metal bottle sleeve.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28There we go. £50. Can I tempt you?
0:38:28 > 0:38:31I can. On the aisle at £50, I'm bid.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34Gentleman's bid of £50. Five is it now?
0:38:34 > 0:38:37So we're not in a loss. Go on, one more.
0:38:37 > 0:38:41It's at £55. Gentleman has bid on the aisle at 55.
0:38:41 > 0:38:45Wiped its face. Marvellous. That's OK, no profit, no loss.
0:38:45 > 0:38:52No pain, no gain. Never mind. Next is the box with the perfume bottles.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55To the early 20th-century leather box. This is really pretty.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57And what shall we say? Just £40.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59Oh, no.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01At £40, and five is it now?
0:39:01 > 0:39:0345, and 50.
0:39:03 > 0:39:0650. Yeah, it's going, it's going.
0:39:06 > 0:39:0865 and 70.
0:39:08 > 0:39:1075.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12Oh, it's getting there.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14Come on, come on. Two more.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Five is it now?
0:39:16 > 0:39:18At £70 I am bid, or we'll sell.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21Gavel is raised and selling at 70.
0:39:22 > 0:39:26Bad luck. That's minus 10, but that's jolly close. Well done.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29Which means overall you're plus 13, so you are in profit,
0:39:29 > 0:39:31you have 13 notes to take home.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34That is a happy place to be.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36Now, what are you going to do with this baton business?
0:39:36 > 0:39:39What do you reckon? 60 paid for it. You decide.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43You can go home with the £13.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46Or you can go into the bonus buy.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49I'm just one of those people that just says we're only here once.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51- Go for it, then.- Yeah. - We'll go for it.
0:39:51 > 0:39:56- You don't...? I can't tell you! - No, no...
0:39:56 > 0:40:00- Let's take the 13, then. Take 13, yeah.- I'll let you decide.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03- Yeah, we'll take the 13, then. - What are we going to do, then?
0:40:03 > 0:40:05We've gone one place, come back to the other place,
0:40:05 > 0:40:08we've gone off the other place, we come back again.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11- So, seriously, you're not going to go with it?- No.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14I think, I think...Esme really wants to have a go at it.
0:40:14 > 0:40:18- Yeah, we're going with it.- No, no! - But then again, perhaps she doesn't!
0:40:18 > 0:40:20- I got confused. I was confused!- She doesn't?
0:40:20 > 0:40:23- She doesn't want to go with it? - No...- No, you don't want to go with it?- No.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25We're not going with it any more.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28We're not going with the bonus buy but we're going to sell it anyway.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30- Here it comes.- AUCTIONEER: 176.
0:40:30 > 0:40:34There we are, we have the Victorian white metal choirmaster's baton.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37Start with me at £10. Do I see 12 in the room?
0:40:37 > 0:40:39At 10 with me, and 12 is it?
0:40:39 > 0:40:42On the book at £10, got 12 on the net.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45£15 on commission. 18 is it now?
0:40:45 > 0:40:4720, 20, and five now.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49At 20 I have to my right.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52And five. 25, 30.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54And we are selling at 25.
0:40:55 > 0:41:00You made the right decision, kids. 25. Five off 40.
0:41:00 > 0:41:05That is, well, that's amazing, isn't it? Amazing.
0:41:05 > 0:41:09At 25, that's five off 30. So that is minus 35.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12Doesn't apply, though, cos you stuck with your gut instinct,
0:41:12 > 0:41:16which means you are plus £13. Which could be a winning score.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19Don't say a word to anybody and all will be revealed in a moment.
0:41:19 > 0:41:20Well done.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29- Been chatting?- No.- No? No? No.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Well, I have to reveal, I'm afraid, quite a painful process.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34We don't have losers any more, we have runners-up,
0:41:34 > 0:41:38and the runners-up by a long chalk today are the Reds.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40Oh, I'm so sorry!
0:41:40 > 0:41:47£17 was the best you achieved on those moose moulds with
0:41:47 > 0:41:49the stationery rack attached,
0:41:49 > 0:41:53which was the weirdest grouping I think I've ever seen!
0:41:53 > 0:41:56- Otherwise, it was a lot of minus scores.- Yeah.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59I mean, I'm sorry, darling. Just didn't go your way, did it?
0:41:59 > 0:42:02- It didn't.- No, it didn't!
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Anyway, there we are, we all learn a lesson, right?
0:42:04 > 0:42:08And that's what goes to make us British and so great.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10Thank you, team, because on the other side,
0:42:10 > 0:42:14you're going to go home with money. £13 worth.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16- There we go, there's the tenner. - Thank you.
0:42:16 > 0:42:20Esme and Stephen, this is for you to share, which is lovely.
0:42:20 > 0:42:24£23 was the profit on your first lot,

0:42:33 > 0:42:36You didn't go with the bonus buy, which was a jolly good thing!
0:42:36 > 0:42:40And, as a result, you walk home with your £13. How does it feel?

0:42:43 > 0:42:45- Well, I am very pleased.- A bit more, but that's all right.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47You would like some more?! Greedy guts!
0:42:47 > 0:42:50Just to make a profit on this programme is a considerable
0:42:50 > 0:42:53achievement, so well done. And it has been great having you here.
0:42:53 > 0:42:57- In fact, join us soon for some more bargain-hunting, yes?- ALL: Yes!
0:42:58 > 0:43:00I know you're sitting there thinking,
0:43:00 > 0:43:05"I could have done better than that!" Well, what's stopping you?
0:43:05 > 0:43:09If you think you can spot a bargain, go to our BBC website and apply.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12It'll be splendid to see you.
