0:00:08 > 0:00:12Are you ready for your daily dose of antique shenanigans?
0:00:12 > 0:00:15Then let's go bargain hunting, yeah!
0:00:45 > 0:00:49So, the Ardingly International Antiques Fair
0:00:49 > 0:00:54is the home for our bargain hunters today, and it is a monster.
0:00:54 > 0:00:59They have to trot around this lot with £300 to find three objects
0:00:59 > 0:01:03in only an hour before they sell on later at auction.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Let's take a quick peek as to what is coming up.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Well, today, the Reds stop for a warm-up.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15Up! All right. Star jumps, girls, star jumps!
0:01:15 > 0:01:17While the Blues want to be the warm-up act.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- I think a little bit of wood.- Yep. - Wood's good.- That would be good.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- That would be good.- Did you hear about the wooden car?- No, let's go.
0:01:23 > 0:01:24It wouldn't go. Let's go.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28But before I give too much away, let's meet the teams.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32So, we have a team of friends today.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34At least they are friends at the moment. And brothers.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37For the Reds, we've got Joanna and Kaylee.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40And for the Blues, we've got Duncan and Alistair. Hello, guys.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- ALL: Hello. - So, Kaylee, how did you meet?
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Yeah, we met on the train and bus.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- We're both bus drivers together. - You're a bus driver?- Yeah.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48Are you really?
0:01:48 > 0:01:51What's the best part of the bus drive? Is it meeting the people?
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- And the driving. I like the driving.- Do you?
0:01:54 > 0:01:56So, what do you like to do other than drive your bus?
0:01:56 > 0:02:00- Shopping.- Do you?- Yeah, going on holiday, listening to music.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04- So when you go shopping, do you buy antiques?- No, clothes, clothes.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- What do you know about antiques? - Not a lot.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09You're going to do very well on this programme, I'll tell you.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11That's the best qualification of all.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Now, Joanna, you're also a bus driver,
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- but you took a different route. - Yeah, I used to be.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19I was well chuffed when I got my bus licence.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21- Did you qualify together?- Yes, yes.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24I was just a little bit before Kay, like a week before.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Now I work with the ambulance service.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29I'm starting off at the bottom
0:02:29 > 0:02:32and I hope to work my way up to be in paramedic eventually.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33Do you drive the ambulance?
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Yeah, at the moment it's only patient transport,
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- but, obviously, the next step is on the emergency vehicles.- Oh, right.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42So, do you get the blue light on patient transport?
0:02:42 > 0:02:46No, you don't, unfortunately, but I hope to get on there soon.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- Well, do you know anything about antiques, darling?- No, not at all.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Oh, this is a duo. Well, this is marvellous. Super.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54- Alistair.- Hello, Tim.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57You've won a few medals in your time, and don't be modest.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01Well, I have. I've been very, very lucky to represent Great Britain
0:03:01 > 0:03:04at Paralympics and a few world championships,
0:03:04 > 0:03:08- and won several medals including golds.- Have you really?
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- And what sort of areas? - Well, I'm Paralympics.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13I was in a motorbike accident a few years ago now
0:03:13 > 0:03:15and I lost use of my right arm,
0:03:15 > 0:03:17so I qualified for the Paralympics in 2008,
0:03:17 > 0:03:20and very, very luckily won a bronze medal at the China games.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24- Well, that's amazing, isn't it? - Thank you.- And what was your sport?
0:03:24 > 0:03:26- Rowing, Tim.- On top of that, you are a teacher.- I am.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29I qualified as a teacher a while back now.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32I'm a geography teacher, but I think I am more of a trendier teacher.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- Are you?- I'm not your stereotypical corduroy jackets,
0:03:35 > 0:03:37leather elbow patches.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Would your brother agree? That's the main thing,
0:03:39 > 0:03:41- cos you're also a teacher. - I'm also a teacher.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43I do design, technology and product design subjects.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47But is that what we used to call manual when I was at school?
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Yeah, well back in your day it would be woodwork and metalwork.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Something like that. Let me be particularly...
0:03:52 > 0:03:55but I seem to remember manual came into that lot.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Hard work, blisters on your hands, that sort of stuff.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01I think my poor parents finished up with four bookcases made by me.
0:04:01 > 0:04:06None of which were particularly handy at taking any books.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08All of a bit of a wibbly-wobbly.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Anyway, that was the top and bottom of my design technology.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Yeah, that's the sort of stuff we still do
0:04:13 > 0:04:15and we sort of teach the kids, nowadays, how to hang doors,
0:04:15 > 0:04:18how to make a living out of using your hands and using your brains.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- And you got a few collections? - Yeah, I was sort of a...
0:04:21 > 0:04:24My mum and dad had an allotment in Herne Bay,
0:04:24 > 0:04:25and we used to dig up bottles.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27The old lemonade bottles
0:04:27 > 0:04:29and my mum and dad have got a garage full of them.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Will you be buying bottles today if you got the bottle?
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- Oh, it depends on what grabs my eye. - OK, fine.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35And that's the group strategy, is it?
0:04:35 > 0:04:38I think avoiding bottles is going to be one of them
0:04:38 > 0:04:39cos we've seen a few bottles in our time.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42And avoiding sporting stuff. We've seen quite a lot of sporting stuff.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44I think we are going to go the sporting route.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46- Don't listen to him, Tim.- Oh, really?
0:04:46 > 0:04:49We're not going to be sporting in that, are we?
0:04:49 > 0:04:51I can sense some disagreement already.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Well, that's good fun. Anyway, now, the money moment.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Your £300 apiece.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58There you go. £300, girls and boys. Off you go.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01And very, very, very good luck. Well, what fun this is going to be.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03On the buses, eh?
0:05:07 > 0:05:11And hoping to drive a hard bargain today for the Reds,
0:05:11 > 0:05:13it's Anita Manning.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Whilst for the Blues, we have Christina Trevanion. Christina?
0:05:16 > 0:05:17Christina?!
0:05:22 > 0:05:26Girls, I am so happy to have you today.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30Two high-powered, 21st-century women.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32So, guys, have we got a plan for today?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Something shiny?
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Something shiny?
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Well, I think a bit of trench art.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- Oh, oh, that's very specific. - The centenary is coming up.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Anything that's a bargain, basically.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46- You want to make money, girls? - Yes, we do.- You want to make dough?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- We want to make lots of dosh. - Well, let's get to it!
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Well, with my sporting pedigree I think a bit of sport...
0:05:52 > 0:05:54A bit of sporting memorabilia.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56I'm sort of sensing a lot of boys' toys.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- Yeah, absolutely.- That makes me nervous. OK, right, let's go.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Oh, you'll be fine, Christina.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05I'm sure you'll find a "mantique" or two.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09But those 60 minutes don't hang about, so eyes down for Round One.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13On your marks...
0:06:13 > 0:06:14Get set...
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Go!
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- Is that a girlie thing? - That's nice. I like that.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23I didn't even look up there. I was looking at eyelevel.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26You've got to look above eyelevel
0:06:26 > 0:06:28and sometimes you've got to look under the tables.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Hi, chaps.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- Hello, you all right? - What are you looking at?
0:06:32 > 0:06:33Well, we're looking at this,
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- but also we've seen a lovely fire grate back there.- OK.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- Should we go have a look? - It's on for £150...
0:06:39 > 0:06:41But we reckon we can get it down to around £90.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Blimey! You don't need me here at all. That's fantastic.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46OK, well, let's go have a look at it, see what you think.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50- Oh, a shiny drawer!- A shiny drawer.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53And the Blues are looking at something rather un-shiny.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57- Oh, OK. Oh, my goodness. Gosh, it's a big, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01So, you've got the fireback there, which is rather...
0:07:01 > 0:07:04It's got two phoenixes on there.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- What does that mean? - It's cast there.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09What do the dates on the back mean? Do we know?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Well, it's probably just some sort of registered mark.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14We've got 80, 04, and 17,
0:07:14 > 0:07:17but that's not looking like it's got a massive amount of age to it.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20I have to be honest. But, we've also got the grate, yeah?
0:07:20 > 0:07:25- And these two rather wonderful firedogs here.- Yeah.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27And we've got some... Just so really...
0:07:27 > 0:07:29And also some dungeon equipment.
0:07:29 > 0:07:34I think even on a metal value it's worth quite a bit.
0:07:34 > 0:07:35In the scrap value alone.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Well, architectural salvage is really, really hot at the moment.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39The fact that this is so complete...
0:07:39 > 0:07:42You've obviously got the tray, you got the grate,
0:07:42 > 0:07:44you've got the firedogs, and you've got the back which is brilliant
0:07:44 > 0:07:47because you really like it, obviously, both of you.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48And you are agreeing!
0:07:48 > 0:07:52- Well, at this point. - It's fairly rare, but, you know.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56OK, where's our man? Oh, hello. Good morning.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00- What sort of price would you want for...- It's all the set, £150.
0:08:00 > 0:08:01£150 for everything?
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- OK. All right.- All from France. Handmade.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07This is cast iron and iron.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Yeah, it's very beautiful. It's very weighty.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Don't quite know how we're going to get it home.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14Have you got a big car?
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- Two strong men will carry it home. - Two strong men, exactly.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20So, £150. Is there any flexibility on that price?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Well, £130, if you want.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26We were thinking more £70, £80, have to be honest.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28- I can't, sorry.- Oh, go on.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30- No, I will sell it much better in France.- You will?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32What do you think, chaps?
0:08:32 > 0:08:34- Well, I do think we go to auction with this...- Yeah, exactly.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37You do get a lot of stuff with it which is great,
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- but I think £100... Would a £100... Yeah?- OK.- Cash?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Are you happy, chaps?
0:08:43 > 0:08:47- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Shall we? Yeah.- Ready? Poised?
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- Go for it!- Yay.- Well done.
0:08:50 > 0:08:55Well done. I love it. Fantastic. There we go.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56That was great.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Keep this up, Blues, and you'll be at the finish line in no time.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03Now, how the Reds got to their first stop yet?
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Oh, it's a wee sweets dish. It's to put on your table.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09If you have some afternoon guests and give them
0:09:09 > 0:09:13some wee sort of sweeties or mint imperials or something like that.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- Do you like that?- I like that. - I really like that.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Let's have a look at it.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Oh, and we can see a lovely big hallmark there.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24There, we've got a wee lion, there. Oh, and it's got nice little feet.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28- I like it.- You like it? - I do as well, actually. I really do.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32- Now, I want you to tell me why you like it.- It's small.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35It's not too bulky and it's quite pretty. I love that.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39You said you wanted girlie and it's got little girlie flowers on.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43Now, which one of you is good at bartering?
0:09:43 > 0:09:45- I guess I am.- All right.
0:09:45 > 0:09:50Now, the girls were looking for something girlie and a bargain.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54- It's £85.- £85? - Because of the condition.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56- Right.- £60.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00They're looking kind of roundabout sort of...
0:10:00 > 0:10:03If I'm being honest, it owes me £55.
0:10:03 > 0:10:08So your bid of £60 is sort of the minimum I would take,
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- but I would need a little bit more than that.- £61!
0:10:11 > 0:10:17- Perhaps even a little more than that.- £61.50.- 62.- Oh, oh!
0:10:17 > 0:10:21Please, please. We'll love you forever.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24I would really need about £65 to be fair to give me
0:10:24 > 0:10:28- a worthwhile profit on it. - OK, halfway. £62.50.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31I'll give you another two quid for luck. £63, how about that?
0:10:31 > 0:10:33- Shake hands with the man.- I like it.
0:10:33 > 0:10:39So, ten minutes in, one item each, and impressive haggling skill.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Good start all round, I'd say. So, all set for Round Two?
0:10:43 > 0:10:46So on the list we had boys' toys,
0:10:46 > 0:10:49sporting stuff, trench art,
0:10:49 > 0:10:52militaria... Yeah? Anything like that?
0:10:52 > 0:10:54I think you're a bit cold.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58I think we should do a bit of running on the spot. OK.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03- Let's do it. One, two, three. - Up! Star jumps, girls. Star jumps.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Cor, you're stepping up a gear or two, Reds.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07Are you taking note, Blues?
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Trench art, here we go.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Fantastic. So we do tend to get different types of trench art.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17You get civilian trench art which was made out of basically
0:11:17 > 0:11:18debris from the battle fields,
0:11:18 > 0:11:21and then you'd have soldier-made trench art
0:11:21 > 0:11:24which would be whittled away whilst they were sitting in the trenches
0:11:24 > 0:11:26waiting to go over the top or that sort of thing.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28I think these are made from the debris of the battle field.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31So local people that had been living around the area
0:11:31 > 0:11:34would have gone and sort of pick up bits and bobs that they found.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36- But these are fascinating, aren't they?- They are.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38What do you reckon the original function was?
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Do you know what, that actually looks like...
0:11:40 > 0:11:43It's a bit of a guessing game, isn't it?
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- But this looks like the top of some sort of...- Shell.- ..shell.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48And they you've got some sort of mechanism in here.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50What I love is that this is numbered.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51Inside of this one, as well.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54And it looks like it's been sort of coiled around like that.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56So, I mean, this is... almost what you were looking for.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58- What do you think? - Can I make a suggestion?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00We keep it here, we know where it is, and come back?
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Otherwise we're jumping in too soon.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Yeah. That's got £25 on it. How much does yours have on it?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- There is nothing on there at all. - Nothing on there.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Let's ask on a price on that one
0:12:09 > 0:12:12and then we know potentially what we've got left in the budget.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Where's our lady gone? Where is she?
0:12:14 > 0:12:15Hi, there.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17We were just looking at these pieces of trench art that you've got
0:12:17 > 0:12:21- on the stall here. Would you do a deal on the three?- I could do £50.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- For the lot?- Yes.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27As I made a mistake on that one and it's got no price.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29I think it's amazing.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31But I'd still like to have a quick look around.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33- I think these are definitely one. - OK.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35- I really do like it and I think they are unusual.- OK.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37But just have a little look around?
0:12:37 > 0:12:39OK, so, guys, we've had 15 minutes.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43- Could we possibly ask you to keep these for 45 minutes?- Of course.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45- Would that be all right?- No problem.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Just in case cos I would hate for them to...
0:12:47 > 0:12:49No, I think they are lovely. Absolutely lovely.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51They are not my cup of tea because I like diamonds,
0:12:51 > 0:12:54but if you like them, then I'm prepared to go with them.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Most girls like diamonds but we've only got a small budget.
0:12:57 > 0:13:02You're not getting a diamond today, Christina. It's all about mantiques!
0:13:02 > 0:13:03But what of the Reds after?
0:13:03 > 0:13:06OK, girls, what sort of period do you like?
0:13:06 > 0:13:11Do you like Victorian or sort of 20th century modern stuff?
0:13:11 > 0:13:13- Just anything. - Yeah, we're quite easy-going.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- We like everything, really. - As long as it looks nice.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18As long as it looks nice?
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- Yeah, as long as it's nice. - So, price is very important for you.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- Yeah.- For our next item, definitely. - Our next item.- Under £50 we want.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Under £50.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31Under £50. Under £50, they said, Anita. Not under £5.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Do you think we might be able to Hoover up a bargain with this?
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- It's very, very cute. - And it's red like us.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Yeah, and you've got a wee brush and shovel there, as well.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- Was that on the £5 table? - That was on the £5 table.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Should be on the £3 table.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Oh, you're suckers for a bargain, Reds.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52While the Blues have lost their bottle.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Oh, look!
0:13:54 > 0:13:56You know, I used to dig these up in the allotment
0:13:56 > 0:13:58and what you generally find...
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- They used to smash these to get the marbles out.- Oh, wow.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03- So we found 100... - 100 and something.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05My brother and I were in the local paper.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- Oh, really? For digging them up? - For digging them up.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10And I was at work... I think it was 15 years later,
0:14:10 > 0:14:12they were doing another piece in the newspaper
0:14:12 > 0:14:14and there I was 15 years later.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- Aw, looking exactly the same. - Beautiful as ever.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Looking like George Clooney.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- Did you keep any?- Yes, they are in my dad's shed.- Brilliant.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23What's the price on them?
0:14:23 > 0:14:26- I don't know.- Ask him.- You might be hoarding a fortune in your shed.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30- Excuse me, how much do these go for? - That's £3.- £3.- Aw.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33- We've got hundreds of those in our garage.- Hundreds, perfect!
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- Do you want to buy some? Got loads of them.- We've got loads of them.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37Right, come on.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40I don't think we need to spend £3 on a bottle
0:14:40 > 0:14:42that you already have hundreds of.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43And there's no lemonade in it, either.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Indeed, Duncan.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49So, Round Two is not going quite as smoothly as Round One.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52But has something modern caught Anita's eye?
0:14:53 > 0:14:57Girls, see this type of thing here?
0:14:57 > 0:15:02This is sort of 1960s glass which is quite popular just now.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06- That's quite a nice piece.- Yeah. - It's got a good shape.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09It's got lots of colour, you know, with the red and green
0:15:09 > 0:15:13and that millefiori type base.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17Millefiori is a glass work technique that produces decorative patterns
0:15:17 > 0:15:19using canes of class.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Does that sort of appeal to you in any way?
0:15:22 > 0:15:23What does it do?
0:15:23 > 0:15:24Does it do anything?
0:15:24 > 0:15:27It gladdens the heart.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Is it heavy?
0:15:29 > 0:15:31It is quite heavy.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Well, that's one of the things that we think about
0:15:33 > 0:15:34when we are looking at glass.
0:15:34 > 0:15:39Because if it's heavy, it really does say, you know,
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- "I've got a bit of quality here." - I'm worth money.- I really like it.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- I like it.- I'd definitely put something in it if I had it.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Like some grapes in it.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51Now, I think this is probably Italian glass
0:15:51 > 0:15:54from the 1960s or 1970s.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57What do you think it would make at auction?
0:15:57 > 0:16:02Well, I think that it could make in excess of £50 at auction.
0:16:02 > 0:16:03Hello!
0:16:04 > 0:16:09I'm Anita and these are my marvellous red devils here.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12What they're looking for today is a bargain.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14- Cheap.- Yeah.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- That's what you want, isn't it? - We want cheap.- Always cheap.
0:16:17 > 0:16:18£35.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20£35...
0:16:20 > 0:16:23But, if you're good, and you can answer this riddle,
0:16:23 > 0:16:27Anita, you can have it for £25.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29- Anita!- Oh, there's a challenge.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- Can we both collaborate on the riddle?- Yeah.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35- But I've got to give you the riddle first, haven't I?- Give us the riddle.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39What's the one thing you can't do if you've got no socks?
0:16:42 > 0:16:45What's the one thing we can't do if we've got no socks?
0:16:46 > 0:16:47Take them off!
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Oh, it's your riddle, Reds.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52So let's leave them pondering and see if the Blues
0:16:52 > 0:16:54have clocked their second item yet.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57As pocket watches go, that looks like quite a modern one.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00It might appeal to train collectors or railway art collectors,
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- but I just don't think it's going to make a lot of money.- OK.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05I'll take your advice on that one.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07We can find you another silver case pocket if that's what you want.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- Yeah.- Ali, no.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11I can't leave you five minutes
0:17:11 > 0:17:13and you're buying something you shouldn't be buying.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15I'm glad you arrived at that point. Let's go.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17- Sparkly and shiny, though.- Oh...
0:17:17 > 0:17:19And the Reds are still thinking about that riddle.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22We're not going to get this.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26What's the one thing that we can't do if we've got no socks.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Right, Reds, what's your answer?
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- We don't know.- Take the socks off? - Take the socks off!
0:17:31 > 0:17:34You would've had to have socks, wouldn't you, to take them off?
0:17:34 > 0:17:37You can't do that, though, cos you can't take them off.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40I think we were right, there.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41You can't pull them up.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43You can't pull them up!
0:17:43 > 0:17:46That's the same thing.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48- We were halfway there! - Technically, you're halfway there,
0:17:48 > 0:17:50so you can have it for £20.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53That'll do. Deal.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00I think that's a good bargain for £20. And that's item number two.
0:18:00 > 0:18:01Mm-hmm.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05Brilliant. You're running on time today, Reds.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Now, I better hop on to find something of interest
0:18:08 > 0:18:12to show you later, but it's a big fair and there's so much choice.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Now I know how the teams feel.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Well, I'll keep searching, then. Hello.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19But enough for me it's time for Round Three,
0:18:19 > 0:18:21so let's get down to the nitty-gritty.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- Girls, two down and one... - We've done a bargain.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28We've done a bargain, we've done a shiny.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31This chappy up here has got some sporting equipment,
0:18:31 > 0:18:33- so let's have a look at that. - Oh, really?
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- A running machine for you, Alistair? - Yeah, rowing machine.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38- What now?- What next?
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- Something crazy.- Yeah.- A bit crazy.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Sporting memorabilia? You wanted sporting memorabilia.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46I don't play tennis but I like it.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Maybe too crazy.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50I don't know. They are very wacky.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51This is very good.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54That's really good fun but you don't play tennis.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56No, but I love it that you're thinking outside the box,
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- but is it tennis or is it not tennis?- It's not tennis.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01- It's not tennis.- It's not cricket, either.- It's not cricket.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03- It's not cricket, exactly. - We can move on.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Move on then, Blues.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09The Reds are running away with this. Have they reached the last shop?
0:19:09 > 0:19:13I love that. That is really nice.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15It's a spinning chair.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18And it would be used by a spinner.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20You know, the spinning wheel would be to the front
0:19:20 > 0:19:23and they would have this low chair.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25But what's lovely is that it's been decorated.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28And it's been decorated in pokerwork.
0:19:28 > 0:19:33So what they've done is apply a hot poker to the wood
0:19:33 > 0:19:35to make the design.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39And it's fairly fine... And look at that ferocious dragon!
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- I just want to sit on it. - It looks really cute.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43- Don't sit on it.- I'm too big.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46No, I'm just scared we're going to break everything.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- I like it.- It's under £50, too.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51We could go cheaper than that.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55- We will go cheaper.- Oh, confidence. I love that. Confidence, yes.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00The girls were looking at your little spinning chair here.
0:20:00 > 0:20:05- We love it, but we're looking at maybe £25.- I'd do £30.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09- £30 is a good price. - Meet in the middle, £27.50?
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- No, I don't do 50s. - OK, £28, then.- £28.- £28.- OK.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16Yes. Thank you.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Thank you so much, that's brilliant.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Round Three done and dusted. Well done, girls.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24But it all started so well for the Blues.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Guys, we've got 16 minutes left.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30We bought one thing, we've got two left to buy.
0:20:30 > 0:20:31You're taking it to the wire.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34I think we should go back and have a look at that trench art again.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37- Do you like your items?- Yes. - Love them.- I love all three.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39All three are unique, they are different,
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- and I could take them home myself.- Aw!
0:20:42 > 0:20:45I don't want to send them to auction!
0:20:45 > 0:20:47What about your bargaining skills?
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Oh, well, for a first-timer, I'm shocked with myself.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54- Well, you said £50, didn't you? - Yes, I did.- For the three?- Yes.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Would you possibly do £40?
0:20:56 > 0:20:57It's a little bit too tight,
0:20:57 > 0:21:00especially as I haven't priced that one, which is my fault, and...
0:21:00 > 0:21:03- What if we meet you halfway, then? - Halfway, £45.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07- Go on, then.- £45.- £45.- Thank you.
0:21:07 > 0:21:08Yeah, I think we've got two items.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10I think we're happy with them, both of them.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12I think we're looking for that one extra item.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14I think we should go for a little bit of wood.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16I think a little bit of wood. Wood's good.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17- That would be good. - That would be good.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19- Did you hear about the wooden car? - No, let's go.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21It wouldn't go. Let's go.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Broom, broom! And that's Round Two done.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Do you need the Reds to give you a lift for Round Three?
0:21:26 > 0:21:29This is getting to the wire. I'm getting stressed.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31That's got a split at the top. Don't think that's good.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35- £48?- Mm, no.- No.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36What do you think?
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- Not my cup of tea. - Not your cup of tea?- No.- No, OK.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Nope, but the girls have found theirs.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Well done, girls and cheers!
0:21:45 > 0:21:49You might be able to drive big vehicles,
0:21:49 > 0:21:51but you can also drive a sharp bargain.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55- We can.- Well done.- Well deserved.
0:21:55 > 0:22:00While the Blues have moved from wood to a copper planter at £140.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04I think it's a nice thing. What do you think?
0:22:04 > 0:22:06- It's certainly a big thing. - It's not wood.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09It is not wood, but we've got five minutes left.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Considering how much time we've got, we might have to compromise.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13- Have you seen the nursing chair? - Yeah.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Typical Victorian nursing chair.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Probably would've been one of a pair originally.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21But we haven't got time to talk about things like that!
0:22:21 > 0:22:23- You panic so much. - I'm panicking! Right, OK.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26So we've got the choice between... Do you like the chair?
0:22:26 > 0:22:28I think the chair is beautiful.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30- What have you got on the chair? - I've got £80.
0:22:30 > 0:22:31£80 on the chair.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34And the copper planter, is there any more flexibility on that?
0:22:34 > 0:22:37- £125 is my very best.- Oh. Guys?
0:22:37 > 0:22:39- I'm still convinced on the chair. - Mmm...
0:22:39 > 0:22:43- Oh, my God! I don't think I can watch this any more.- One minute!
0:22:43 > 0:22:45- Oh, my God! Oh, my God!- 50-50.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- Chair at £65?- Chair at £65? - Go on, yeah.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50- Shake his hand.- Oh, my God.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Let me warm up my hands.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Guys, you nearly gave me a heart attack!
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Cor, me too, Christina. Good job, Blues, and...
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Stop that clock!
0:23:03 > 0:23:04Round Three is done.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Now, let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:23:08 > 0:23:13First up, the Reds paid £63 for the silver Edwardian sweetmeat dish.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17They got the 1960s glass vase for £20
0:23:17 > 0:23:19after solving the dealer's riddle.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24And the beech and oak Welsh spinning chair cost £28.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- Well, girls, was that fun? - It was really fun.- Yeah.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34- How much did you spend, girls?- £111.- £111.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- I'd like 189 of leftover lolly, please.- Here you go.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41- There's the four.- Thank you. - And there's the rest of it.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43You're not very happy about passing this over, are you?
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Cos it's quite a lot of cash.
0:23:45 > 0:23:50Oh, and another bit. My bad. It got stuck.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52So, which is your favourite piece, Jo?
0:23:52 > 0:23:54I love the chair. I love it.
0:23:54 > 0:23:55It's so sweet and dinky.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- It's perfect.- That's your favourite, favourite?- The chair.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00- You agree with that? OK. - I love the chair.
0:24:00 > 0:24:01The double favourite for the chair.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Is that going to bring the biggest profit?
0:24:03 > 0:24:06No, I think our little ornament, our little glass ornament
0:24:06 > 0:24:08- will make it because we got a bargain on that.- I think the chair.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10You think the chair? OK, fine.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Well, what we do now is to hand over all this money to Anita Manning.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16- There you go, darling. - You've got loads.
0:24:16 > 0:24:17Have you got a vision of what's out there?
0:24:17 > 0:24:23Well, the girls like shiny things, but they also like bargains.
0:24:23 > 0:24:28So that's what I going to do. Find a shiny bargain for them.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31- It's not a miniature bus or something like that?- Yeah.
0:24:31 > 0:24:32Anyway, good luck with that.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:24:35 > 0:24:38The cast iron fire set set them back £100.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44£45 was spent on the three pieces of World War I trench art.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47And in the final seconds,
0:24:47 > 0:24:51the Victorian walnut-framed nursing chair cost £65.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- Was it good fun?- It was excellent fun running around the fair.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Very nice. A whole hour with CT.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Literally an entire hour.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04- They took it down to the second. - It's amazing, isn't it?
0:25:04 > 0:25:07- How much did you spend? - We spent £210.- That's amazing.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09- £90 of leftover lolly, please.- Yep.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11- Who's got the £90?- I've got it.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12That is super.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Now, would you mind telling me which piece is your favourite?
0:25:15 > 0:25:18My favourite piece is the cast iron fire grate.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19- OK. Favourite?- Yep.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- Sounds heavy.- Mm-hmm. - Mine is the nursing chair.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24- It is a nursing chair, isn't it? - It is.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26- Bit battered but it is a nursing chair.- Very nice, too.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29And is that going to bring the biggest profit?
0:25:29 > 0:25:33- I think, yes, it will. - Or will it nurse a lot?- Ha-ha-ha.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37- He's panto.- Oh, no. Pure panto.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Which is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:25:39 > 0:25:42- I've got a feeling the trench art. - The trench art?
0:25:42 > 0:25:44The trench art will bring a bit of a profit.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47This is a nice mishmash there, isn't it? You've had a lovely shop.
0:25:47 > 0:25:48It's all boys' toys.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52OK, that means you're going to go get a bit of jewellery.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55- Anyway, you got your £90. - Thank you kindly.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59- Very good, and good luck with your trawl with that.- Thank you.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Anyway, go and have a nice cup of tea and warm up, chaps.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04Meanwhile, I'm proposing to get all physical.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Amazing these spaces, aren't they?
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Basically, an agricultural building
0:26:15 > 0:26:19that's used for all sorts of shows here at Ardingly,
0:26:19 > 0:26:23that just occasionally gets converted into a showroom
0:26:23 > 0:26:25for fine art and antiques.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29And you can find some seriously weird things.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30Take this lot.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Weird, aren't they?
0:26:34 > 0:26:38Well, not so weird if you happen to be a scientist, of course.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Which I am not.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43But, if you like the precision of science,
0:26:43 > 0:26:49you'll like these as examples of what molecular scientists
0:26:49 > 0:26:51might perhaps get up to.
0:26:51 > 0:26:56Building models of molecules which are, of course,
0:26:56 > 0:27:00joined by chemical bonds, which are what these metal bars are.
0:27:00 > 0:27:05And hence, the whole science of molecular structures
0:27:05 > 0:27:07comes into place.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Anyway, that's enough of the science,
0:27:09 > 0:27:11and before you all send me a deluge of letters
0:27:11 > 0:27:14saying I've got it all wrong, I am not a scientist.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18I've approached these simply as decorative objects.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22I know from the dealer that they came from behind the iron curtain.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24That's interesting, isn't it?
0:27:24 > 0:27:29If you look carefully, the balls have been turned out of wood
0:27:29 > 0:27:31and then coloured silver and green.
0:27:31 > 0:27:36Each of these are pierced with holes so you could take that one
0:27:36 > 0:27:38and build on another structure,
0:27:38 > 0:27:42effectively making these into any old shapes you like.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45To my eye, they're extremely decorative.
0:27:45 > 0:27:50They date from the '50s, so they're at least 60 to 70 years old today,
0:27:50 > 0:27:53and who knows, might these not become
0:27:53 > 0:27:56the collectibles of the future?
0:27:56 > 0:28:00But what would it cost you to buy them here today at Ardingly?
0:28:00 > 0:28:03The whole lot could be yours for £50.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07There's no rocket science about that.
0:28:07 > 0:28:08But the big question today is...
0:28:08 > 0:28:12Will our teams' items lift off over at the auction?
0:28:14 > 0:28:19If you got in your car in Ardingly and you went 59.1 miles,
0:28:19 > 0:28:23you'd find yourself in West London, in High Road, Chiswick,
0:28:23 > 0:28:27at High Road Auctions to be with Ross Mercer. How are you?
0:28:27 > 0:28:30- Very well, indeed.- Now, this Red team have done extraordinarily well.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33They brought this terribly thin piece of silver.
0:28:33 > 0:28:38- It is...- Wafer thin!- It is quite a mean gauge, I'm afraid, Tim.
0:28:38 > 0:28:43Nicely repousse embossed. A bit of a nod to the Victoriana.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47- How much do you think it's worth? - £40 to £60.- OK, they paid £63.
0:28:47 > 0:28:52Now, what about this piece of glass? I've never seen that combo before.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55- Have you?- I haven't, no. It's fun.- Isn't it?
0:28:55 > 0:28:59- How much do you think it'll make? - £30 to £50.- £20 paid.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02Lastly is the old Welsh spinning chair.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04How do you rate that?
0:29:04 > 0:29:06It's a piece of naive furniture
0:29:06 > 0:29:09which can be quite collectible from the provinces.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Good bit of pokerwork to it.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14Reasonable condition. Bit of wood worm here and there.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16So, how do you see it selling?
0:29:16 > 0:29:19- Well, we've said £30 to £50. - That's right.
0:29:19 > 0:29:23I think we've got to be doing some to get much more than that.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26I quite agree. £28 is paid. So, that's OK.
0:29:26 > 0:29:27That'll just about wipe its face.
0:29:27 > 0:29:28And if all goes badly,
0:29:28 > 0:29:31they're going to need that bonus buy so let's go have a look at it.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34J and K, two legends.
0:29:34 > 0:29:39- I bet you long to know what Anita spent your £189 on.- We do.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42OK, Anita, put us out of our misery. What did you buy?
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Well, I had to buy something girlie
0:29:44 > 0:29:47for these two lovely, blondie lassies.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50I bought this little Victorian brooch.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53It looks like quite a modest little thing,
0:29:53 > 0:29:57but it's quite intricately detailed with these scallop shells
0:29:57 > 0:30:00and this lovely ribbon along the centre.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04Made in Birmingham round about the 1880s.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06Tell me, is it something you would wear?
0:30:06 > 0:30:08Or is it something that you would like?
0:30:08 > 0:30:12Well, I prefer the gold look. I don't think you like gold, do you?
0:30:12 > 0:30:16- No.- I think you're more of a silver girl.- Yeah.- But, it's shiny.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19Was it a bargain? How much was it?
0:30:19 > 0:30:24I pay £24 for that, and I think that is a good price
0:30:24 > 0:30:27for a Victorian nine-carat gold item.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31- So, it'll make a profit, then? - I think so. That's really good.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35There are no guarantees but I just can't see it not making a profit.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38- Good move.- £24, can't go wrong.
0:30:38 > 0:30:39There we go.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42This is from somebody who's a silver girl and knows her onions,
0:30:42 > 0:30:44- right, Kaylee?- Yep.- Yep.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46OK, right now for the audience at home,
0:30:46 > 0:30:50let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Anita's little brooch.
0:30:52 > 0:30:53Well, there you go, Ross.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56- A little modest bar brooch for the weekend.- That's right.
0:30:56 > 0:30:57Nice quality.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Almost represents the architectural revival
0:31:00 > 0:31:02of the last quarter of the 19th century.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Gosh, you got a fertile imagination.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06I have. That's why I'm here.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09- Yes, that's true. - It is nice quality.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11It's not the easiest thing to sell nowadays
0:31:11 > 0:31:12- but at least it's gold, Tim.- Hm.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15- I'm sure we can get them on their way.- How much for?
0:31:15 > 0:31:19- Well, we've said £30 to £50. - That's OK. Anita only paid £24.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21She'll be very pleased with you.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Now, for the Blues.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26This becomes a bit more spectacular because they've got
0:31:26 > 0:31:29in the first lot everything you can see in that fireplace.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31You've even got a pair of bellows, how's that?
0:31:31 > 0:31:34- There's not much more you need other than the logs.- Exactly.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36And I mean, to make that lot...
0:31:36 > 0:31:39And frankly it's a lot of work, isn't it?
0:31:39 > 0:31:41All that rot iron for £100...
0:31:41 > 0:31:43- I think that's an absolute snip. - Yes. Yeah.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45And what's your estimate?
0:31:45 > 0:31:47- £100, £150.- OK, fine.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49Now, trench art.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52Now most of this trench art, frankly, doesn't do it for me.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54- Do you like these three bits? - I do like them.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56The nice thing is that they've seen action.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58They've been fired down the barrel
0:31:58 > 0:32:02and you can see the rifling lines on the bottom there.
0:32:02 > 0:32:07- I think they'll be quite popular. - What's your estimate?- £20 to £40.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09- Being a bit mean there, I'd say. - Yes.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11I can feel a wager coming on here.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13- You're on, Tim.- Really?
0:32:13 > 0:32:18They paid £45. You reckon that they're worth £20 to £40.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21I would be very disappointed if they didn't make,
0:32:21 > 0:32:22say, between £80 and £100.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26Do you want to have a shake on that? It could cost you a drink.
0:32:26 > 0:32:27I'll bet you.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30Another drink coming my way. How lovely.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32No, I could be wrong, but I don't know.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34I just feel they've got something.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37- They're quite sculptural. - I'm prepared to risk a drink on it.
0:32:37 > 0:32:42OK, lastly, the most out-of-fashion element of Victorian furniture
0:32:42 > 0:32:46- is represented there.- That's right.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48It really needs some work, I'm afraid, Tim.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Total reupholstery.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52- So, what's your estimate? - We've said £80 to £120.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55OK, well, that's brave. £65 paid.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58So, depending on how the wager goes on the trench art
0:32:58 > 0:33:01could hang whether this team need their bonus buy or not,
0:33:01 > 0:33:02so let's go have a look at it.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06- Duncan, Alistair, how are you feeling?- Very well.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09- I'm feeling a bit nervous, Tim. - Do you?- Hm.- I don't blame you, mate.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13Now, £210 you spent. You gave the £90 to Christina.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15Christina, what did you spend it on?
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Well, I tried to get into the whole boys' thing.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19I tried to get in with the sort of rugby ball,
0:33:19 > 0:33:21and I saw rowing things,
0:33:21 > 0:33:24- and I thought the boys are really going to like those.- Yes.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27And then, look what happened.
0:33:27 > 0:33:28Oh, a girl's best friend.
0:33:28 > 0:33:29I bought diamonds!
0:33:30 > 0:33:32You wanted diamonds.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34Well, I was looking around for you, but then I thought,
0:33:34 > 0:33:36"You know what, stick to what you know."
0:33:36 > 0:33:40Little pair of diamond solitaire stud earrings, OK?
0:33:40 > 0:33:42They're set in gold and stamped 10K,
0:33:42 > 0:33:45which indicates that they are ten carat gold.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48- I just think they could be quite profitable.- Yeah.- What do you think?
0:33:48 > 0:33:51- How much did you pay for them? - I paid £90 for them.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53All the money?
0:33:53 > 0:33:54- All the money.- Wow.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57Have you got anywhere to put them about your person?
0:33:57 > 0:33:59- Yes, in my ears. I've got both ears pierced.- What about you, Al?
0:33:59 > 0:34:02Have you got anything pierced to stick them in?
0:34:02 > 0:34:03Nothing I can show you on TV.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07You don't have to pick them until later if you want to,
0:34:07 > 0:34:10but right now, for the audience at home, let's find out
0:34:10 > 0:34:12what the auctioneer thinks about Christina's little studs.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17- OK, Ross, not you don't wear these, do you, yourself?- No, I don't.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20- Me neither. So that cuts us out of the marketplace.- It does.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23Not the top end of quality when it comes to stones.
0:34:23 > 0:34:29The smaller, more included stones are used for earrings and pendants.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33However, at £120 to £180 is what we've estimated them at.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35That's a 'come and get me' price.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Well, Christina, our FGA,
0:34:37 > 0:34:40she's dead hot on these jewels. She only paid £90.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42- She's done very well, indeed. - She's done very well.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45Well, all I can say to you is jolly, jolly good luck
0:34:45 > 0:34:47in the auction tonight, Ross.
0:34:47 > 0:34:48Thank you, Tim.
0:34:48 > 0:34:53£20 bid five. £20 and it stands at 20.
0:34:56 > 0:35:00- Ready for this?- So ready!- So ready. - I can't wait. I can't wait.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03I mean, you know, how many times you go to auctions, girls?
0:35:03 > 0:35:06I've never been to one. I've never been to one.
0:35:06 > 0:35:10- What have you done in your short life?- Drive buses.- Drive buses.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12That is the right answer.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15Any bit that you wish you hadn't bought, Kaylee?
0:35:15 > 0:35:18- The silver dish thing. - The silver dish.
0:35:18 > 0:35:19Paid a little bit too much.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22- A bit too expensive possibly, but... - It's in perfect nick, isn't it?
0:35:22 > 0:35:26- We like it, though.- So, sweetmeat dish first, and here it comes.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29Thank you, sir. 172.
0:35:29 > 0:35:33It's the Edwardian silver reticulated sweetmeat dish.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36And £40 I'm bid on the books, at 40.
0:35:36 > 0:35:3945, straight out. £45.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41At £45 looking for £50.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44Now on the internet at £55.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47£60, five, sir. Go on. 65.
0:35:47 > 0:35:48This gentleman is 70 now.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52- No!- 75 still worth it. £75 bid 80.
0:35:52 > 0:35:53And you thought you paid too much.
0:35:53 > 0:35:57At £75 in the room. Going once.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59Going twice...
0:35:59 > 0:36:01Sold to you, sir, at £75.
0:36:01 > 0:36:06£75. It's 63, 73, that's plus £12.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09- £6 each.- Good start.- Yes.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13Here's the rather curious 1960s studio glass vase. There it is.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16£20 I'm bid on the books. Five now.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19At £25 puts me out at 25, bid 30, sir.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22£30 in the back at 30.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24You've only paid £20.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26At £40 way at the back now.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30- Selling as we are at 40.- £40, girls!
0:36:30 > 0:36:33You've doubled your money again, girls. You are amazing.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36Plus £40. Oh, now...
0:36:36 > 0:36:40This has got to go well. We like this one. This is our favourite.
0:36:40 > 0:36:41Little Welsh chair.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43Beech wood and oak spinning stool.
0:36:43 > 0:36:44Pokerwork decorated, of course.
0:36:44 > 0:36:49And £26, I'm bid on the books at 26.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52Make it 30, sir. Come along.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54At £30, 30 I have.
0:36:54 > 0:36:58Yes! We've made a profit on everything.

0:41:03 > 0:41:06- Well done, chaps. All will be revealed in a moment.- Well done.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17- Well, we are about to make Bargain Hunt history today.- Oh!
0:41:17 > 0:41:20There is a moment for the presenter of this programme
0:41:20 > 0:41:24when he has to load up with money in his pocket
0:41:24 > 0:41:27and get the money right for each of the teams.
0:41:27 > 0:41:33Well, today, we're giving each of the teams profits! Yes!
0:41:33 > 0:41:36What's unusual about this is that today we're giving
0:41:36 > 0:41:39each of the teams the same profit.
0:41:39 > 0:41:40ALL: Oh!
0:41:42 > 0:41:46We have never had a dead draw before.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49And I'm very pleased to say that the Reds
0:41:49 > 0:41:53- and the Blues are both winners today!- ALL: Yay!- Yes!
0:41:53 > 0:41:55- That's how it should be. - That's how it should be.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58Anyway, I have decided that for kicking off,
0:41:58 > 0:42:03we're going to give the Blues their £40 profit, which is what you got.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06So that's very handy between you two. That's £20 each.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09And then I'm going to turn to the Reds and give them their profit
0:42:09 > 0:42:12which just happens to be £40. That's £40 for you.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14That's history being made.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16Now, the Reds, of course, have done the spectacular feat
0:42:16 > 0:42:20of making a profit on each of their items
0:42:20 > 0:42:23and therefore they are eligible to be members
0:42:23 > 0:42:26of the ancient and noble order of the Golden Gavellers.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29So, you take yours from the top, girls.
0:42:29 > 0:42:33There we go, like that, and pin them on with Anita.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35And as I'm able to arbitrate on these things
0:42:35 > 0:42:38because the Blues managed to make a profit on two items,
0:42:38 > 0:42:41and wiped their face on the other item,
0:42:41 > 0:42:44which is as close as you get to making a profit on all three,
0:42:44 > 0:42:47and they scored identical amounts of money,
0:42:47 > 0:42:49and they're joint winners,
0:42:49 > 0:42:50I think they should belong
0:42:50 > 0:42:53to the Ancient Order of Golden Gavellers.
0:42:53 > 0:42:57- So, there we go.- Thank you.- Isn't that special?- Thank you very much.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59- I think it is a very special moment. - Very proud.
0:42:59 > 0:43:03I congratulate you all wholeheartedly on making it
0:43:03 > 0:43:04such a jolly day.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06In fact, it's been so good,
0:43:06 > 0:43:08join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?
0:43:08 > 0:43:10ALL: Yes!
