0:00:03 > 0:00:07We're at the Newark Showground today, all primed and ready to go,
0:00:07 > 0:00:10so, no dawdling!
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Let's go bargain hunting! Yeah!
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Nottinghamshire, home to the Sherwood Forest,
0:00:41 > 0:00:46and in the 18th century, this area was simply stiff with highwaymen
0:00:46 > 0:00:47hiding in trees.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Today, though, will our teams be able to stand up to
0:00:51 > 0:00:55the challenge and deliver a decent profit over at the auction?
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Here's a quick sneak preview as to what's coming up.
0:00:59 > 0:01:00How hard did you push him?
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Well, from 180 to 120, I think that's quite good.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06The harsh reality of the competition hits home for the Reds.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08- It's harder than you think, isn't it?- It is hard.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11We'll have to ask for 125, and if not,
0:01:11 > 0:01:14we're buying the cheapest thing that he's got on his stall.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Right, come on then. We'll run!
0:01:16 > 0:01:21And the pressure is getting to the Blues too. The girls are on the run.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Well, we've got boys versus girls today, and they're all good friends.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28- Right, everybody?- Yes.- Yes, Tim. - And welcome to Bargain Hunt.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Now, how did you two meet, you boys?
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Well, we first met in a little town called Penistone
0:01:33 > 0:01:35up in South Yorkshire.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38We bought a house on a new housing development
0:01:38 > 0:01:41and the sales agent, a lady called Geraldine, knocked on my door
0:01:41 > 0:01:43and told me that there was a chap moving in next door
0:01:43 > 0:01:46who had no mates, and I thought, "Hang on a second, Geraldine.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48"He's got no friends for a reason!
0:01:48 > 0:01:50"I'm not sure I want to socialise with this type of person!"
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Well, quite! Could be dodgy!
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Yes, so erm... But we went out for a drink, didn't we?
0:01:54 > 0:01:56I remember it slightly different.
0:01:56 > 0:02:02I believe I was sent there to help you to eat curries
0:02:02 > 0:02:05and speak to women!
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Well, anyway, the two roles bonded together and you became great mates.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11- Yes. - And you're keen on mountain biking?
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Yes, just recently, cos my knees have stopped working,
0:02:14 > 0:02:17so myself and Darren and a few mates,
0:02:17 > 0:02:18we get out on our bikes quite regularly
0:02:18 > 0:02:23and we did the Trans Pennine Trail, which is 230 miles,
0:02:23 > 0:02:25from one side of the country to the other.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27- My gosh, that is a ride, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- How were your knees after that? All right?- Not too bad.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- It was my bum that hurt! - Anyway, Darren,
0:02:31 > 0:02:34when you're not cycling with Matt, what do you get up to?
0:02:34 > 0:02:37About a year ago I picked up a sport called Octopush
0:02:37 > 0:02:41or underwater hockey. I found that there was a club near me and,
0:02:41 > 0:02:46- well, a small hockey stick...- Yeah. - ..a pair of flippers, a snorkel
0:02:46 > 0:02:48and a pair of budgie smugglers,
0:02:48 > 0:02:52- and I was all right.- So, you had all the right investment, then.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54So what do you do in this funny sport, then?
0:02:54 > 0:02:58It's like a combination of hockey and rugby underwater.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00- Really?- It's a very tough sport. - What an extraordinary thing.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Sounds like a magical partnership we've got going on.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06What fun! Anyway, good luck.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Now, girls. Louise, you're quite a musician. Tell us about that.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Um, yes. I started doing brass, which I never thought I'd be able
0:03:12 > 0:03:16to do really, cos I can't even play a recorder!
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- Have you got the puff though? - Yeah, just about!
0:03:19 > 0:03:23But, yeah, I'm in Dinnington Colliery Training Band,
0:03:23 > 0:03:26so it's just, like, at weekends we do things like charity raising
0:03:26 > 0:03:30and going out to old people's homes and things, and playing at weekends
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- and at people's birthdays, and things like that.- What fun!
0:03:32 > 0:03:34So is this like the movie Brassed Off?
0:03:34 > 0:03:37- Sort of, yeah.- Oh, lovely. And good fun?- Yeah, it's good fun.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Now, just tell us about that piece of jewellery you've got on,
0:03:40 > 0:03:42cos that's a mammoth good luck horseshoe, is it?
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Yeah, it's going to bring us some good luck, hopefully!
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Well, there you go. You may need it up against these boys, I tell you.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53Now, Beth, you're another creative soul. Tell us about your creativity.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Oh, I do all sorts, really. I'm well into, like, arts and crafts.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59I started out at uni, in illustration,
0:03:59 > 0:04:03so I do, like, a lot of greetings cards and drawings,
0:04:03 > 0:04:05and then I do, like, knitting and crochet is quite a new thing.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07- I learned that last year.- Did you?
0:04:07 > 0:04:10So I'm doing, like, granny blankets and stuff.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Is this how you spend your evenings, or do you go out much?
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- Yeah, I go out as well! - Oh, that's fair enough.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17And you collect as well as create?
0:04:17 > 0:04:19I like, sort of, '50s sort of stuff,
0:04:19 > 0:04:22but I've recently got the taste for, like...
0:04:22 > 0:04:24kitsch kind of ornaments.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- Oh, yeah?- Which are quite tacky! - Terrible.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Are you going to be going for this stuff on Bargain Hunt today?
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- Well, maybe.- Really?- I don't know. We'll see.- Are you quite confident?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Yeah, yeah.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Well, for Christmas, Beth bought me, from a charity shop,
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- the Bargain Hunt board game. - Oh, lovely.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44So in preparation, we played that with us friends, and we did win, we won.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- Did you?- So, we think it might be a good sign for today.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49I'm not sure that is going to be
0:04:49 > 0:04:51the qualification to beat all qualifications,
0:04:51 > 0:04:53but you never know, and that's the joy of the show.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Anyway, now is the moment to give you £300 apiece. £300...
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- Thank you very much.- You know the rules, your experts await,
0:04:59 > 0:05:03and off you go and very, very, very good luck!
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Octo-pushy, eh?
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Let's meet the experts.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Aiming for victory for the Reds, it's Natasha Raskin.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16And hoping to spot a few bargains for the Blues, it's Paul Laidlaw.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Darren, you've got no taste! Is this true?
0:05:19 > 0:05:24- I know what I like. And I like what I know.- OK.- And I'll stick to it.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Right, so no messing around. Matt, what are you thinking?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28He's got a wardrobe full of bad shirts!
0:05:28 > 0:05:31There's no way I'm letting him pick anything!
0:05:31 > 0:05:34You're passionate about food, cooking and music, yeah?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Yeah!- Does that help us today?- Uh... - Possibly...
0:05:37 > 0:05:42- Help me here, please, help me! - Yeah, of course.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Right, teams, you're on the clock. Get shopping.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48These old bikes...?
0:05:48 > 0:05:50- The tricycle?- Old bikes, OK, so.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54No, I think it's one of these things that probably has
0:05:54 > 0:05:56an appeal for interior decor purposes.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59So, the boys are already checking out the wheels - and meanwhile,
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Paul's got some advice for the girls.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04If it grabs your attention, we're in business.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06If it doesn't, we just keep moving, yeah?
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Of course, it's up to you, but I don't know.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12- I like the look of it, but maybe we'll come back to it.- OK, OK, yeah.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14- What do you like?- This one. - Nope.- No? OK.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16But it grabbed THEIR attention, Paul.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20- Technically, "tat."- Oh, yeah, OK.
0:06:20 > 0:06:25So, I'm not a trainspotter, but, is something like that, um...?
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- It's heavy. It's cast iron. - Oh, my goodness.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- Dear me, that has got some weight to it.- It has!
0:06:30 > 0:06:32There's a lot of "Buyer, beware," isn't there,
0:06:32 > 0:06:35when it comes to these sort of things. Is it reproduction?
0:06:35 > 0:06:38But the fact that it's cast iron, it's a great big lump of metal,
0:06:38 > 0:06:44the auction's in Derby, it's a Derby sign, it's in three figures.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47You can put it down, you can put it down! Oh, my goodness!
0:06:47 > 0:06:51- Are you weakening?- So, what would be your best price, sir?
0:06:51 > 0:06:5395, it could be.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57- 95, OK.- It's clean, the lettering is nice and crisp and sharp.
0:06:57 > 0:07:02Sometimes, if they get to be rusty, it can get very pitted
0:07:02 > 0:07:04- and unreadable.- Yeah. - But it's nice and crisp.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Someone will have repainted this at some stage.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10It has been restored. I mean, we couldn't bring you down to 80?
0:07:10 > 0:07:11- No, sadly.- 85?
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- 85?- I'll do 90.- You'll do 90.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18I think it's too much. What do you think, Darren?
0:07:18 > 0:07:21I think we should have a bit of a think about it.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- NATASHA LAUGHS - My gut says that we should go for that.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28If you listen to Natasha, the estimate's 60 to 80.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31We're paying above that, aren't we? 90's the lowest.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32Darren, your call, go on.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34- Let's do it.- OK.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Oh, my goodness! He's doing it! OK, shall we shake on it?
0:07:37 > 0:07:40It's the polite thing to do. Thank you very much.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43The Reds are chuff-chuffed with that, their first item.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47I think it's just me that wants that.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- Why do you want that? - I just like it.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52No, that's not lined up with the rest of it though.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Brass, I think, patinated brass, and it's a Viking longboat.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58I don't think it'd make any money, but I just kind of like it.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Why are we looking at it, then?
0:08:00 > 0:08:03I mean, seriously, you've got to have some conviction.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- You started saying, "I like that." - I know, I do,
0:08:06 > 0:08:10but we're not in unison on this, so we can't go with that, I don't think.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- Well, there's a clock ticking. - It would depend how much it was.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17There's a wee bit of substance to it. It's brass, oxidised.
0:08:17 > 0:08:22Longboat... I've got to be honest with you, there's some work in that.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26It is Tron Art of Denmark, no surprise about the origin.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29But I've got to be honest with you...
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Earlier we saw something I referred to as tat - this is not tat.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34It may not be your taste, but it's not tat,
0:08:34 > 0:08:36- because there's workmanship in that. - Yeah.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40You know, someone modelled it, it's cast in brass then it's
0:08:40 > 0:08:42multi-piece construction all wired together.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44It might not be to your taste,
0:08:44 > 0:08:47but you cannot knock it as junk, because it's not.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50There's liking it, and then there's being able to live with it.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54- Could you live with it? - Yeah, I'd have that in me house!
0:08:54 > 0:08:58- Beth?- I wouldn't.- Is that absolute? Is there any...?
0:08:58 > 0:09:01I wouldn't have it in my house, but...
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- someone might enjoy it. - What's it worth?
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- I don't know.- Fiver?- It might be worth 20 or 30 quid.- Oh, that's...
0:09:06 > 0:09:08It might be priced up at a fiver, in which case,
0:09:08 > 0:09:11that would be looking good. It might be priced up at 30
0:09:11 > 0:09:13and then that's looking bad. Are we going to ask the question?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Yeah, go ask him.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Right, it's your baby. Get in there.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19I wanted to know what's your price on your longship?
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- 20.- 20.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24- Is there no...?- I'd do 15.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26I don't know. We're taking a risk on it.
0:09:26 > 0:09:31What do you reckon? See, there's some nice symptoms there.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- Yeah! Yeah, go on, then.- Yay! Get in!
0:09:34 > 0:09:36- Shake hands!- Thank you.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37THEY LAUGH
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Nice one! It's getting better by the minute!
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Right, so that's one down. Let's go.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50If you were taking a stroll in the 18th century in the fresh air,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53there's probably one thing for certain that
0:09:53 > 0:09:56you would have about your person.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57It's a wee snuffbox, isn't it?
0:09:57 > 0:10:01Mashed up tobacco, mixed with some aromatic stuff to make it
0:10:01 > 0:10:04smell nice, and you shove a pinch of that up your hooter
0:10:04 > 0:10:06and immediately feel a bit better.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Actually, these snuffboxes are extremely collectable.
0:10:10 > 0:10:15It's made of an unusual material - looks like ivory, but it's not.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17It's blond horn.
0:10:17 > 0:10:18And once upon a time,
0:10:18 > 0:10:23this horn was attached to the top of a bovine-type creature,
0:10:23 > 0:10:25I reckon a water buffalo,
0:10:25 > 0:10:28and I think that water buffalo came from India.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32This isn't in a variety of pieces, it's one bit of horn,
0:10:32 > 0:10:35that has been steamed and shaped.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36And to make it grip,
0:10:36 > 0:10:40you've nailed inside a little bit of pine or softwood,
0:10:40 > 0:10:43so when the snuff's inside, you snick it shut like that
0:10:43 > 0:10:46and it ain't going to open. But this has not been made, necessarily,
0:10:46 > 0:10:50by a professional snuffbox maker. It's been made by
0:10:50 > 0:10:54an amateur craftsman, who I think has been part of
0:10:54 > 0:11:01the Portuguese-Indian Empire, and he's done it in exactly 1811.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03How can I be certain of that?
0:11:03 > 0:11:08Because, glory of glory, turn it upside down and it says 1811.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10So we're in the middle of the Napoleonic Wars,
0:11:10 > 0:11:14and this Portuguese craftsman is making a delicious snuffbox
0:11:14 > 0:11:16over there in India.
0:11:16 > 0:11:21The condition is brilliant, it's an extraordinary horn survival,
0:11:21 > 0:11:27and as such, to a collector, might be worth as much as £200 to £300.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30What would it cost you here today in Newark?
0:11:30 > 0:11:35It could be yours for 80 quid. Now, that's not to be sniffed at, is it?
0:11:36 > 0:11:40So, the teams have an item each and the Reds are on the move.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42That gas pump, gas pump.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44If that has a price tag on it of less than £200,
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- I'd be very surprised. - It's going to be very expensive.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49Very expensive.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- 550.- Oh!- Gosh.- I mean, isn't that a stand-out piece?
0:11:52 > 0:11:56- Yeah.- I think it's encouraging, because, see this panel here
0:11:56 > 0:11:58and see the font - what does it remind you of?
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- Well, the sign we've just bought. - The sign we've just bought!- Yeah.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03It shows you that there's a market for this kind of thing.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- Yeah, what did we get ours for? 90 quid?- 90 quid.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08You don't want to sell this for 90?
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- TRADER: Sorry.- No? OK! - THEY LAUGH
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Well, is the writing on the wall for the Reds?
0:12:13 > 0:12:15It could be a sign!
0:12:15 > 0:12:18- 12 minutes.- Really?- This is good, good! We are ahead of the game.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Have you got a strategy, spend-wise? Are you skinflints, or...?
0:12:22 > 0:12:26We were thinking two cheap and then one more expensive.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29- OK.- Yeah, like the two cheap ones, hopefully, under £20 spending.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30- Whoa!- Yeah.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34You'll have to suffer the wrath of Tim if you go down that route,
0:12:34 > 0:12:36- but I'm with you! - You tell them, Paul!
0:12:36 > 0:12:39I think our teams are indulging in their passions today.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41I'm inquisitive about this one. What have we got?
0:12:41 > 0:12:44So we've got our balls...
0:12:44 > 0:12:48and then, in here, we've got scoreboard...
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Oh, we've got the nets that actually screw onto the table.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53The original instructions, aye.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55All right, OK. I quite like this.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58So I think it's probably going to be 20th century.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- There must be something missing. - Do you think that's for the cues?
0:13:01 > 0:13:05It might have been for the cues. £180 is the price tag.
0:13:05 > 0:13:06For me, it's far too high.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10I'd be looking to get this around £80, £90, something like that.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13I think we should speak to the gentleman, see what we can do
0:13:13 > 0:13:15and make a decision from there.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17They're not going to give it away,
0:13:17 > 0:13:18but let's see the best that we can do.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- OK.- OK.- Shall we leave you to it?
0:13:21 > 0:13:23No rest for Darren. He's off to pocket a deal.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25< Anything specific you're looking for?
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- We're looking for... - BOTH:- A bargain.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30The Blues certainly seem to be in unison now.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33- I walked into that one, didn't I?! - Yeah!
0:13:33 > 0:13:36- It's mad!- It's not antique, is it? I do love it though.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- How old is that? '70s? - How much is it?
0:13:39 > 0:13:41- '70s bike, is it? '70s?- Yeah, yeah.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43I can't really ride a bike though, so...
0:13:43 > 0:13:46You don't need to, you just sit on the back!
0:13:46 > 0:13:48You don't want to take that home.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51I'll tell you the very, very base on it, was 170, the very base.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Right, we need to move on, I think. We're beat here.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56My friend, good to see you, buddy.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Yous will regret it! THEY LAUGH
0:13:59 > 0:14:01So, the girls are passing on the tandem.
0:14:01 > 0:14:02How did you get on?
0:14:02 > 0:14:05It's not good news. 120.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07- 120. It's a bit rich, isn't it? - It is a bit rich.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09How hard did you push him?
0:14:09 > 0:14:12- Well, from 180 to 120, I think that's quite good.- Yeah.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15What do you think, though, given the advice we've had?
0:14:15 > 0:14:18I honestly don't think we should go for it, not at that price,
0:14:18 > 0:14:23- not at the moment.- Yeah.- OK, I agree. I'm happy with that.- Good.- Move on?
0:14:23 > 0:14:24Thank you very much.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Well, that snookered the Reds, then.
0:14:27 > 0:14:28Right, how long have we got left, Paul?
0:14:28 > 0:14:34- Uh, 20 minutes! 20 minutes! We're not panicking yet.- Aren't we?
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Yeah, we're panicking, we're totally panicking!
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Would you believe that we have less than 20 minutes left?
0:14:41 > 0:14:43- Oh!- I don't want to scare you!
0:14:44 > 0:14:47We've found something that both of you like. Why do you like it?
0:14:47 > 0:14:49I know why you like it.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51- It's awful!- It's hideous. - It's awful.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55- Oh, be nice, Paul! - But, I'm desperate. See this?
0:14:55 > 0:14:59This is Laidlaw desperate! And I'm going to...
0:14:59 > 0:15:02I love this(!) This is the nicest thing I've ever seen(!)
0:15:02 > 0:15:03Oh, no, that's horrendous!
0:15:03 > 0:15:05- What is it? 1950s.- Really?- Kitsch.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08It's either a very small dog or a massive lantern.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Cos that's what it is. It is a Chinese lantern.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13I think it might be French and 1950s.
0:15:13 > 0:15:19Many would say 1930s and suggest Deco. I think it's '50s Moderne.
0:15:19 > 0:15:24This is in base metal, patinated, I don't think that's even brass.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Moulded glass with a bit of nasty gilding on it.
0:15:26 > 0:15:31I am being scathing, but let's... Serious hat on.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35You like it. It taps into that whole kitsch aesthetic
0:15:35 > 0:15:37and if you saw that illuminated in the right environment,
0:15:37 > 0:15:39I think it would be charming.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41And you're going to get a laugh if nothing else.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43It's the only horrible thing that
0:15:43 > 0:15:45- we've seen that Beth doesn't like! - THEY LAUGH
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- It's hideous, but I do quite like it. - Well, this is, this is, this is...
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- We need a price on it. - Why do we keep finding ourselves
0:15:51 > 0:15:52with things that we hate, but we love?
0:15:52 > 0:15:56- I can't help it, it's just my taste. - That lamp's not expensive!
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Tell me that's not expensive!
0:15:58 > 0:16:00- 25.- What's it worth to you?
0:16:00 > 0:16:02- You love it, remember.- I'd pay about £15 for it, I think.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04- Yeah, I'd pay about 15. - There you go.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06I'd buy it for myself for my house.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09What I'm loving is the agreement - you both like it, you both know what
0:16:09 > 0:16:13you want to pay for it, but this is the lady you've got to convince.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15BOTH: Please!
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Start crying! Start crying! Start crying!
0:16:17 > 0:16:18- OK.- Seriously?
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- Thank you!- Woo-hoo! Get in there!
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Well, the Blues are tickled pink by the lamp,
0:16:23 > 0:16:25and they're not the only ones.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- We've got a nanosecond left, and something else to buy.- BOTH: I know.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Keep looking. Is there anything else here that you both love?
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Yeah - with 20 minutes left on the clock,
0:16:33 > 0:16:35there's no time to waste, teams.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37What about those scales there? Is that...?
0:16:37 > 0:16:40- Those scales are lovely.- They're too modern, or...?- I don't think they're
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- very modern, I just think they're going to be expensive.- Oh, right.
0:16:43 > 0:16:48- I've got expensive taste, haven't I? - 88.- You do. £88? Do you know what?
0:16:48 > 0:16:52That's actually less scary than I thought. Let's have a look at them.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54We've got a little drawer there.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58Very late 19th century I would say, and I like them.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00£88 is a bit rich, but I don't think I would quibble
0:17:00 > 0:17:03if we got them for about 55, 50, 55.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05What do you think?
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- Yeah, that sounds reasonable. - I quite like that.- How does it work?
0:17:08 > 0:17:09- You have to pull that? Ah!- Exactly.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Maybe they're a little newer than they seem,
0:17:13 > 0:17:15but they are for decorative purposes.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17So, I don't think we need to worry too much about the age.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19What do you think?
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Let's go for it. Let's go and have a chat.
0:17:21 > 0:17:2488 on them. How would you feel about 50?
0:17:24 > 0:17:29- No haggling price. £60.- £60.- I think that's a fair reduction.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32- I think it is a fair reduction. - I'm happy with the price.
0:17:32 > 0:17:33What do you think, Darren?
0:17:33 > 0:17:35On balance, I think that's probably all right!
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Easy, Matt! That's my line!
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Yes, well, I think it's a deal. What do you think?
0:17:40 > 0:17:41You've got to shake on it.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- All right. - Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Well done, boys. Your second item, and you certainly managed
0:17:48 > 0:17:51to lose a few pounds off the marked price there.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56It's a Hardy's vintage fishing rod. Two piece, 65...
0:17:56 > 0:17:58It's enough.
0:17:58 > 0:18:04Doulton Natural Foliage Ware, I love that as a series. But it...
0:18:04 > 0:18:05I'd call that a wine glass!
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- THEY LAUGH - Hardcore!
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- They're not jumping out. I don't mind the fishing rod.- I like it.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13You like? Like and don't mind.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- That's not bad.- I'm not overly bothered about the pot, though.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20I understand that, I understand that. Do we keep looking?
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- We're not doing very well. - They were close, they were close.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25No, they're just not biting, Paul.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- So, we've got 150 left. We've got exactly half left.- Let's try
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- and keep it cheap this time. - OK, keep it cheap.- OK.- OK, right.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35- It's harder than you think, isn't it?- It is hard.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38You're not wrong there, Matt, and the clock is ticking.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Well, plenty up here. Let's go. We're going to do it. Ten minutes!
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Come on, girls! I think it's decision time!
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- We really want the tandem, but it's too much.- Ah, now, see, see!
0:18:47 > 0:18:50You could go back there, but if you do, you're committed to
0:18:50 > 0:18:53buying something off that stall, because we can't look.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- We have to run right across there and haggle.- How much was it?- 175.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00- So we CAN afford it.- But it needs to be less than that.- 175.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- Shall we go and try?- If you can get it for 125, you're in with a punt.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Do you think we can...? Do you want to go for it and beg?
0:19:05 > 0:19:07We'll ask for 125, and if not,
0:19:07 > 0:19:10we're buying the cheapest thing that he's got on his stall.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Right. Come on then, we'll run.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16- Are we running?- Yes, we are! We're running! Come on! Run, run!
0:19:18 > 0:19:20So, the girls are hot-footing it to the bike
0:19:20 > 0:19:22but the boys are still browsing.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Right, OK, OK. This looks like a nice stall. Nice things here.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27- What about this tea caddy here? - TRADER: It's decorative.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29It is decorative.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Yeah, it's inscribed, isn't it?
0:19:31 > 0:19:34TRADER: Yes, and it's very of the moment,
0:19:34 > 0:19:37being Chinese as well, which is quite hot.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39I mean, it's quite tricky to age these Asian things.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41I mean, what's your gut feeling as to its age?
0:19:41 > 0:19:44I'd say about, sort of 1920.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46I like that, actually. And what's your price on that?
0:19:46 > 0:19:51- £30.- £30. Oh, that's quite fair. I mean...- I'm very cheap!
0:19:51 > 0:19:52I mean, what do you think?
0:19:52 > 0:19:56It's a fair price, but it is a wee bit tricky to tell exactly
0:19:56 > 0:19:59how old this is, but it's in lovely condition.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01It's got that gorgeous gilt decoration on it.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05It's got exactly what you would expect from oriental decoration.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08It even says, "With best compliments for Lo King Kee, Hankow, China."
0:20:08 > 0:20:10That's a real seller for me.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Would you take 20 for that?
0:20:12 > 0:20:15- I can't, really. 25 and that's it.- 25.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16And that is very, very reasonable.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18I think, before we agree, I think
0:20:18 > 0:20:20I'll tell you why I think it's reasonable because boxes are in,
0:20:20 > 0:20:23people are buying lovely boxes, decorative things.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- Very good sellers.- Tea is in.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27All things to do with tea, China, they're selling well,
0:20:27 > 0:20:31and I think, for 25 quid, she's doing us a real favour.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33- You've sold it. Go on, let's go. - Oh, my goodness!
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Shall we shake on it?
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Oh, thank you so much. You're very kind. Thank you very much. £25.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43Well done, Reds, you can go for a cuppa. Whereas the Blues...
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Right, through here. Short cut!
0:20:45 > 0:20:48It's still there, it's still there. It's over there.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Look, it's still there.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55You guys love this tandem.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59Right, dude, we're back. Get real with the bike, man, get real!
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Honestly, I bought it to tour the world, right,
0:21:01 > 0:21:04and I've decided to change my plans, right?
0:21:04 > 0:21:07It's going to make 100 quid, isn't it? A second-hand tandem?
0:21:07 > 0:21:11It's not! It's beautiful! Show me another one in here the day.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13- Seriously, is it 175 quid?- I need that, Paul, every penny.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Oh! Woo, woo, woo!
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Right, I reckon it's worth...
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Maybe that is the mother of all tandems!
0:21:21 > 0:21:25Um, I suspect it's not, and I suspect it's worth 120 quid.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27- Yeah.- So you're taking a punt.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- One original... - 150.- No, I couldn't, honestly.
0:21:30 > 0:21:31I'd take 160, I'm losing 15 quid at that.
0:21:31 > 0:21:36Honestly, this is the new ecological friendly thing!
0:21:36 > 0:21:37Everybody's buying them now!
0:21:37 > 0:21:38THEY LAUGH
0:21:38 > 0:21:41It's a strong and varied pitch.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45Take Beth's generous offer of 150. It's a round number, man.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Seal the deal...
0:21:47 > 0:21:50and get rid of that bike that's been an albatross round your neck!
0:21:50 > 0:21:53TRADER SIGHS AND PAUL LAUGHS
0:21:53 > 0:21:57- Yeah! - THEY LAUGH
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Cheers!
0:21:59 > 0:22:00Hey, you did it.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04You spent 15, and then you spent another 15,
0:22:04 > 0:22:07and then you waded in deep on a tandem.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11You couldn't have scripted this little road trip, could you?
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Not even in a Hollywood classic, Paul. Now, come on, girls,
0:22:14 > 0:22:16let's get pedalling, shall we?
0:22:16 > 0:22:20# Raindrops keep falling on my head
0:22:20 > 0:22:24# But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red... #
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Time's up! Let's check out what the Red team removed.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34The Reds steamed ahead with the railway sign for £90.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39They weighed up their options before choosing their second item.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43The set of scales left them £60 lighter.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46And, finally, they bagged the tea caddy for 25 notes.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Well, chaps, you were lucky, weren't you?
0:22:49 > 0:22:53Natasha, for a whole hour, you took it to the last moment!
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Anyway, no wonder you're all smiling. OK, super-duper.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Now, how much did you spend?
0:22:58 > 0:23:02- 175.- You spent 175. I'd like £125 of leftover lolly, please.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06Thank you. £125. Which is your favourite piece?
0:23:06 > 0:23:09- Favourite piece is the scales. - Is it?- Yes.- What about you, Matt?
0:23:09 > 0:23:13- I like the sign.- The sign is your favourite?- Yes, the weight of it.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Is the sign going to bring your biggest profit, do you think?
0:23:16 > 0:23:18- Probably not, no. - Oh. What will, then?
0:23:18 > 0:23:21I think, maybe the tea caddy that Natasha got us.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23There's a lot of maybes going on here!
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Yes, I doubt we'd get any profit, actually.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27THEY LAUGH
0:23:27 > 0:23:28You're Mr Confident, aren't you?!
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Which is your prediction as to the biggest profit, then, Darren?
0:23:31 > 0:23:33- I think the sign.- The sign, do you?
0:23:33 > 0:23:35- I think the sign's a real collector's item.- I like this.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38This is a confident note coming into it.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Now, I can see why it took you for ever, Natasha.
0:23:41 > 0:23:42But you've had fun, right?
0:23:42 > 0:23:44I had a great time, but hopefully I'll bring them a nice,
0:23:44 > 0:23:48- interesting bonus buy.- Is that what you're going for? Interest, are you?
0:23:48 > 0:23:49- I think so.- Very nice too.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Why don't you lot shove off while we check out
0:23:52 > 0:23:54what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:23:54 > 0:23:56The first buy was plain sailing for the Blues -
0:23:56 > 0:23:59just £15 for the brass model of a Viking ship.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03A further £15 bought them the table lamp.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07Small dog, huge lantern... The jury is still out on that one.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09And the girls just made it
0:24:09 > 0:24:11across the line in time on their bicycle made for two.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14That cost them £150.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17- OK, now, Louise, Beth. Did you have a good time?- Yeah, yeah, good.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21- We had a really good day.- OK, so which is your favourite piece?
0:24:21 > 0:24:26- My favourite is the lamp.- Yeah. - Even though it's hideous-looking!
0:24:26 > 0:24:29But it appeals, and that's your favourite. OK. Do you agree, Beth?
0:24:29 > 0:24:30- I like the lamp as well.- Do you?
0:24:30 > 0:24:34Well, I hate it, but I like it as well at the same time.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38OK, so this love-hate thing. This means it stirs an emotion, right?
0:24:38 > 0:24:40- Yeah! - But will they pay any money for it?
0:24:40 > 0:24:43What's going to bring the biggest profit then, you two peas?
0:24:43 > 0:24:47- The lamp, definitely the lamp.- I think the Viking ship.- Viking ship?
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Well, that's what I liked the most.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51As soon as I saw it, I wanted to buy it,
0:24:51 > 0:24:54- so I would buy that anyway, probably. - Would you? OK, brilliant, brilliant.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Well, we seem to have got there very beautifully.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58And the total amount of spend was?
0:24:58 > 0:25:02- 180.- 180? I'd like £120 of leftover lolly. Who's got that?
0:25:02 > 0:25:06- That's me. There we go. It's a bit of a mess.- We don't mind that.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08We don't mind a mess, do we, Paulus?
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Cash messes? There's nothing the matter with cash!
0:25:10 > 0:25:12What are you going to spend it on, Paul Laidlaw?
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Do you know, I have no idea. I've been out with these girls
0:25:15 > 0:25:17and I've only been focusing on the mission!
0:25:17 > 0:25:18Now, I've got to start again.
0:25:25 > 0:25:31Well, we've trotted from Newark to be with Charles Hanson at Etwall
0:25:31 > 0:25:34just outside Derby, and very, very nice it is to be here, Carlos.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38- Tim, welcome.- We've got Matt and Darren, who've gone with their trio.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- Yes.- They've got the Midland Railway notice board.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Now, this is bulletproof, isn't it? Cast iron.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Tim, I think it's a wonderful thing to buy for the auction here
0:25:46 > 0:25:49in Derbyshire, because, obviously, Derby is a wonderful railway town.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53The railway began in Derby in 1844.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56It's amazing these objects, you know, almost like posters,
0:25:56 > 0:25:59people do enjoy them. The teams have bought with a good eye.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03It's a cracking thing, isn't it? 1899, it's in brilliant condition...
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Tim, I think with a wave of enthusiasm
0:26:05 > 0:26:08- I hope it might just make up to £100.- Oh, do you?- Yes, I do.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10- Well, that's all right. They paid £90.- Good, good.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- So, that's a relief.- Good. - Next is the brass scales.- Yes.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16I'll tell you what I like about these,
0:26:16 > 0:26:18is the collapsible nature of them.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19I like the colour of the box,
0:26:19 > 0:26:23I like that you've got very much an early 19th-century set there,
0:26:23 > 0:26:26which is so much better than the ordinary Victorian, don't you think?
0:26:26 > 0:26:29I think that whenever you look at furniture or veneer
0:26:29 > 0:26:31you look at the depth of colour, and it glows,
0:26:31 > 0:26:35it has a wonderful patinated look about it.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37It's got that depth of the 1820s, 1830s,
0:26:37 > 0:26:42and it really is, as you say, a wonderful complete contraption.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Exactly. So, how much for a complete contraption then, Carlos?
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Tim, on its original feet we would guide it to fetch...again,
0:26:47 > 0:26:51- we are realistic, we want to vroom-vroom.- Oh, yeah?
0:26:51 > 0:26:54- So, between £40 and £60. - OK, £60 paid.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57But by the time you've accelerated, Charles, with any luck,
0:26:57 > 0:26:58we'll be past the starting post.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02- Correct.- Now, black lacquered tea caddy.- Yes!
0:27:02 > 0:27:04It's a pretty chunky old tea caddy, isn't it?
0:27:04 > 0:27:09- I did some research, Tim, into this, and it first came over in 1875.- Ah!
0:27:09 > 0:27:12The gilding is in good condition.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15It's just a wonderful object from a bygone age, when the history
0:27:15 > 0:27:19of tea and the tea ceremony and tea drinking were so exotic.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Yeah, well, there we go. What's your estimate?
0:27:21 > 0:27:24I expect it will make between £40 and £60.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28- Do you really? Good lord, Charles. £25 paid that is.- Good.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30So that should be an automatic profit.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33It all depends, really, on how this cast-iron sign goes,
0:27:33 > 0:27:35cos if it doesn't do too well,
0:27:35 > 0:27:39then the signs are going to be going against our team and they're
0:27:39 > 0:27:42going to need the bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Well, chaps, this is exciting, isn't it?
0:27:44 > 0:27:48You gave the girl £125, and I'm going to help her
0:27:48 > 0:27:51take off the cloth, and we're going to find out what she spent it on.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Yes! And that is it.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58- Oh, right, wow.- There we have a ship's compass. What do you think?
0:27:58 > 0:27:59That's really good.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02It's early 20th century, it's quite hard to date it,
0:28:02 > 0:28:05but what's really nice is that the face is in good order.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07No big cracks or smashes and it's moving around.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09I didn't pay very much for it.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12- OK, then.- What did you pay? - I only paid £30 for it.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14- £30!- Excellent.- Yeah, so I think that was quite all right.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17I would be disappointed if it didn't make £40, £50 at least.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21- So, it's a bit of a gamble, but I love it!- Fantastic!
0:28:21 > 0:28:24- We'll go with that. - Excellent. Thank you.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27How far are we from the sea here in Derby?
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Right!
0:28:29 > 0:28:32- There's a canal.- Oh, yes, you go by canal.- There's a canal!
0:28:32 > 0:28:35- Take your compass with you. - Oh, dear! Well, hopefully...
0:28:35 > 0:28:38There we are. Hold those thoughts from Natasha, all right?
0:28:38 > 0:28:42She spent £30. She's saying it should bring at least £40 to £60.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45That's what you have to recall at the moment after you've
0:28:45 > 0:28:46sold your first three items,
0:28:46 > 0:28:49that I ask you whether you want to go with the bonus buy or not.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51But right now, for the audience at home
0:28:51 > 0:28:55let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Natasha's compass.
0:28:57 > 0:28:58- There you go, Carlos.- Thanks, Tim.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00Something for a bit of yachting, I suppose.
0:29:00 > 0:29:04Yeah, I admire sailors, because I would not be able to sail.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07I think it's a most complex and confusing pastime.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11Charles, you would take to it like a duck to water if you had a good go.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13It's a lovely object, Tim, and these contraptions again,
0:29:13 > 0:29:15with the scientific interest,
0:29:15 > 0:29:18there's a huge marketplace for these objects in our salerooms.
0:29:18 > 0:29:19- Nice object.- OK, fine.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22I have to say, it comes with its sliding lid there, look,
0:29:22 > 0:29:24so, you are ready to go to sea, Charles.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27Aye-aye, Captain. We think it's worth between £40 and £60.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29OK. I think you're going in the right direction, Charles,
0:29:29 > 0:29:32- for that compass. £30 paid by Natasha.- Good.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34- So, she's done well with that...- She has.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37..potentially, if the team decide to go with it.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40Anyway, that's it for the Red team. Now, for the Blues. What a mixture!
0:29:40 > 0:29:43We've got the Viking sailing ship.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46Very, very relevant in today's market
0:29:46 > 0:29:49because of all these exhibitions and things relating to the Vikings.
0:29:49 > 0:29:53I love history, and that period of the 8th to the 11th century,
0:29:53 > 0:29:57it has so much more to reveal, and of course, I think I'm a descendant.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00- Hansons come from the Vikings. - Oh, do they?- Exactly.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04So, it's something which could perhaps be quite close to my heart.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07- I could see you in one of those helmets with the horns, Charles! - Thank you!
0:30:07 > 0:30:10But it's a good-looking item. Probably circa 1900.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14- OK, well, bearing in mind your Scandinavian roots, Charles...- Yes.
0:30:14 > 0:30:15..what's your estimate?
0:30:15 > 0:30:17Tim, we hope it will sail away and fly high
0:30:17 > 0:30:19and make between £50 and £80.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22- Do you really?- Yes, we do. - Gosh! £15 paid.- Is that all?
0:30:22 > 0:30:25- That's Louise found that. - Very good, Tim.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28Lovely. Now, the table lamp, which is an oddball object really,
0:30:28 > 0:30:31- cos it looks a bit like a powder bowl...- Yes, it does.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34..from a dressing table, with this woofer next door.
0:30:34 > 0:30:35Yes, it does, Tim. I don't know, I think
0:30:35 > 0:30:37in the last three or four years we've seen
0:30:37 > 0:30:41a re-emergence in terms of interest in these Art Deco
0:30:41 > 0:30:43bronzed speltered garnitures,
0:30:43 > 0:30:47but it appears to be all original, in nice condition. I think...
0:30:47 > 0:30:49But it's a novelty lamp, Charles! It's clever, isn't it?
0:30:49 > 0:30:54Yeah, and the canine passion across Derbyshire is huge.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56- Well, it screams Art Deco. - It does, Tim.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59How much money does it scream to you?
0:30:59 > 0:31:01We, Tim, would hope... If I pictured a price now, I think
0:31:01 > 0:31:05- it's going to make probably around £45.- Do you really? £15 paid.- £15!
0:31:05 > 0:31:09- That's that Beth found that.- Wow! - Clever old Beth.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12Now, that Laidlaw, he's challenged us with the tandem bike.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16It's a really wonderful bike, and Rudi Altig,
0:31:16 > 0:31:20he won his first championship in 1952 and designed the bike, but of
0:31:20 > 0:31:23course, with tandems and bikes, they can be very hit and miss at auction.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27- Hopefully more hit than miss. - Exactly.- How much, then?
0:31:27 > 0:31:31- Between 150 and 250.- OK, well, the Laidlaw paid 150.- Very good.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33We know he's very careful when it comes to these things.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35So I think this team are going to do all right,
0:31:35 > 0:31:38they've got two bargains there and if the bike doesn't let them down
0:31:38 > 0:31:40then they'll be away and they won't need their bonus buy
0:31:40 > 0:31:43for a change - but let's go and have a look at it, anyway.
0:31:44 > 0:31:48Now, Paul Laidlaw, you had £120. What did you buy the girls?
0:31:48 > 0:31:52- You've seen it before... - Oh, yeah, I remember that!
0:31:52 > 0:31:56- You remember that? - I thought you were going to get the fishing rod, so it's not too bad.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59- This was a better buy.- OK. - It's just a Doulton pot.
0:31:59 > 0:32:04However, this is from their Natural Foliage Ware series.
0:32:04 > 0:32:09It's a proper antique. There's serious design craftsmanship.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12Handle it, see how heavy it is. Do you like the feel of the glaze?
0:32:12 > 0:32:14Has it got something? Does it do it for you?
0:32:14 > 0:32:17It doesn't, really, do it for me to be honest!
0:32:17 > 0:32:18Hand it to Beth! Hand it to Beth!
0:32:18 > 0:32:20OK, Beth, does it do it for you?
0:32:20 > 0:32:23- Uh...- That's a no.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26Well, moving on. That's a very nice reaction. Thanks, girls!
0:32:26 > 0:32:28Just ask him how much profit it's going to make.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30So, how much is it going to sell for, then?
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Well, I'll tell you this much, it's going to make a profit.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34If I'm unlucky, it makes £20.
0:32:35 > 0:32:40Could it make £60? Yes, it could. If the gods are with us, and a few
0:32:40 > 0:32:42Doulton collectors that don't have this shape and form like it,
0:32:42 > 0:32:46there could be good profit in this, but I'm telling you this much, there is a profit.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48OK, we've got the message there.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51That's all you really care about - is it going to make a profit? Yes,
0:32:51 > 0:32:53he promises you it's going to make a profit, and on that happy note,
0:32:53 > 0:32:58let's find out, for the viewers at home, whether the auctioneer thinks it's going to make a profit.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00One little pot, look.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03- Oh, it's lovely, Tim, isn't it? - Not really.- No, don't you think so?
0:33:03 > 0:33:06Well, I think what's lovely about it is the price.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08I mean, do you like those bits of Doulton?
0:33:08 > 0:33:10I just think, Tim, when you look at this, you've got to
0:33:10 > 0:33:13believe that these were leaves that were alive in the 1890s.
0:33:13 > 0:33:14- Yeah.- And it's pretty.
0:33:14 > 0:33:19- Yeah(!)- So, we envisage it making probably between £30 and £50.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22- Well, that's very nice, cos the Laidlaw paid £15.- Oh!
0:33:22 > 0:33:25That's why I like it, cos it's only £15 worth.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28So for him to find it at 15 is very clever,
0:33:28 > 0:33:31and as a bonus buy is a very good buy for his team,
0:33:31 > 0:33:33- if they decide to go with it. - Absolutely.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36- Now, Carlos, you're taking the sale today?- Tim, I can't wait.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38- Oh, we're in safe hands. - I'm in the cockpit, Tim.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40Oh. Are we going to take off?
0:33:47 > 0:33:49- Matt, Darren, how are you feeling? - Really good.- Nervous.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52- You're not nervous, are you?- Oh, I am nervous.- What have you got to be
0:33:52 > 0:33:55- nervous about, Matt?- Everything. Every item we've bought.- Do you know,
0:33:55 > 0:33:58I've a horrible feeling you might be right! No, that's not the case,
0:33:58 > 0:34:00actually. Here comes the railway plaque from heaven!
0:34:00 > 0:34:03This is a wonderful Midland Railway notice board.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07I've got interest here at £45. I'm asking 50 in the room now.
0:34:07 > 0:34:0955, 60, sir,
0:34:09 > 0:34:1365, 70, I've got 5, 80.
0:34:13 > 0:34:14One more. No? I'm bid £75.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17Give me 80 now in the room. Do I see one more bid, surely?
0:34:17 > 0:34:19Fair warning. Commission bid on the phone.
0:34:19 > 0:34:23- "80, I'm out." 80, I am bid. - Come on!
0:34:23 > 0:34:26Do I see 5 now? Fair warning, all done. Bid me a fiver.
0:34:26 > 0:34:30- Oh, dear, chaps!- £80, all out.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34How disappointing! £80 is minus £10, which is bad luck.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36- It's nothing though, is it? - That's not too bad.- It's a whisper.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39OK, let's get this back into kilter.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41Let's see whether we can balance this out with the scales.
0:34:41 > 0:34:46The brass scales, there we are, straight in at £25.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49Do I see 30 for it now? 35, 40, sir.
0:34:49 > 0:34:5040, I'm out. I've got you.
0:34:50 > 0:34:5340, I'm asking 5. On the phone, 45.
0:34:53 > 0:34:5545, 50. Look at me.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Look at me! One for the road!
0:34:58 > 0:35:01No, he says. 45 I'm bid, do I see 50?
0:35:01 > 0:35:02Fair warning, all done.
0:35:02 > 0:35:08Oh, dear. Minus £15. No amount of dancing around will get around that.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10That's cheap enough, I tell you.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Now - his favourite black tea caddy.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16A really interesting late 19th century black lacquered tea caddy.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18I'm bid £20 on commission.
0:35:18 > 0:35:22I'm asking, the hands go up, 2, 5, 8... I've got 30.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24NATASHA GASPS
0:35:24 > 0:35:2735 I am bid, I'm asking 40 now.
0:35:27 > 0:35:31What a fine box. 40, 5, 50, 5, 60, 5...
0:35:31 > 0:35:34I can't handle it, I can't handle it, I can't handle it.
0:35:34 > 0:35:38- Look at me. 80!- £80.
0:35:39 > 0:35:4185, I've got you. 90...
0:35:41 > 0:35:43- Go on!- Go on! Round them up.
0:35:43 > 0:35:48Fair warning. Thank you, sir. I sell to you, all done.
0:35:48 > 0:35:49- That's fair enough.- Oh, yes!
0:35:49 > 0:35:51That's 5 short of 30,
0:35:51 > 0:35:55which is plus 65. You lost 25,
0:35:55 > 0:35:57which means you're plus 40.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59That rather transforms things, doesn't it?
0:35:59 > 0:36:02What are you going to do? Are you going to go with the compass or are
0:36:02 > 0:36:05- you going to park it?- We're here to enjoy ourselves, we're going to go
0:36:05 > 0:36:08- for it.- You are definitely going to do it?- Yes.- You're going to place
0:36:08 > 0:36:11- all your faith in Natasha, yes? - Definitely.- OK, fine. - She's more than earned that.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14The decision is made, we're going with the bonus buy.
0:36:14 > 0:36:18I've got lots of interest in this compass,
0:36:18 > 0:36:21and I can begin here with interest at 60.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23I'm asking 5, what a wonderful compass!
0:36:23 > 0:36:26Maritime interest for the local canals, maybe.
0:36:26 > 0:36:3060 I am bid... Not the coast, of course. 60, I'm asking 5 now.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33Fair warning, now, bid me a fiver. Come on! All done.
0:36:33 > 0:36:34You're out online. Gone.
0:36:34 > 0:36:38It's gone, well, how brilliant is that? That's £60, that's plus £30.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40You are so clever. Isn't she clever?
0:36:40 > 0:36:43- That's a fantastic thing to do. - Brilliant.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46Anyway, 40 and 30 is plus 70. That could be a winning score.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48Don't say a word to the Blues, all right?
0:36:48 > 0:36:50- Nope.- Not a dickybird. OK, brilliant.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00- OK, girls, you happy about this?- Yes.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03- What do you mean, "Yes?" You sound very...- I think so.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06Loulou, you sound very shifty, girl!
0:37:06 > 0:37:08Well, I've had time to think about it.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12Your first item is the Viking longship, and here it comes.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16There it is. I've got a couple of bids here at £18.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20That's my bid, bid me 20. 20, 2, 5.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22I've got 8, 30, I'm out.

0:37:40 > 0:37:43- That's the badger!- Well, thank you very much. 50 I am bid.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46Do I see 5 now? Fair warning, all done. The gentleman secures it.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48Fair warning. Yes, we are.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52Well done, girls. That's plus £35. How good is that?
0:37:52 > 0:37:54- £35 profit on the first item. - Your cut!
0:37:54 > 0:37:57OK. Now, here comes the Deco lamp.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01It's Art Deco, it's a table lamp and figure with a Chinese lantern.
0:38:01 > 0:38:02A wonderful lot with a dog.
0:38:02 > 0:38:08I am only bid 10, 12, 15, £18. It's cheap. Bid me 20.
0:38:08 > 0:38:1122, 5, 8, 30.
0:38:11 > 0:38:15Lady in red, you're in online. Do I see 5 now? Online, bid me a fiver.

0:38:17 > 0:38:2035 your bid, sir. Bid me 40 now.
0:38:20 > 0:38:2235 I am bid. 40, 5.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25The dog says yes. 45!
0:38:25 > 0:38:29- 50 online!- Yes!- 55!- Go for it!
0:38:29 > 0:38:33Against the world, sir, one more in Derbyshire! Stroke the dog!
0:38:34 > 0:38:365 online, 60!
0:38:36 > 0:38:39One more. Are you sure?
0:38:39 > 0:38:41Bid me 70. There are two conflicting bids.
0:38:41 > 0:38:45- There are two on the internet battling it out.- One more.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49It could be yours, or I sell on the internet at £70.
0:38:49 > 0:38:5445, 55, 60. It's £55 that, plus £55.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57Look at that! £55!
0:38:57 > 0:39:01German Rudi Altig world champion tandem bike. There we are.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03It'll keep you fit.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05- It's a super example... - Keep two of you fit.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08Commission bids at 110,
0:39:08 > 0:39:10120,
0:39:10 > 0:39:13- 130...- Oh, Charles!- Do I see 140?
0:39:13 > 0:39:18- "130, 140, I'm out." - I can't bear it, girls!
0:39:18 > 0:39:22We are going, going, gone, at £140.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25- Fair warning.- That's so unfortunate.
0:39:25 > 0:39:30Oh, dear. Minus £10, that is bad luck. Nevertheless, you're plus 80,
0:39:30 > 0:39:33which is nothing short of miraculous, isn't it?
0:39:33 > 0:39:35- And you were shifty...- Yeah. - ..and nervous about it?
0:39:35 > 0:39:37Listen, girls, there's no shame in that.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39Good. £80 could be a winning score.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41What are you going to do about the jardiniere,
0:39:41 > 0:39:42are you going to risk another 15?
0:39:42 > 0:39:45- No.- No.- Definitely not.
0:39:45 > 0:39:49- I don't know.- Oh!- You did sell it to me.- You sold it well.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51You don't like it, but you want to make a profit on something.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53You're in for a punt.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55- Yeah, go on.- Yeah, go on, then.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59- We'll do it.- You're going to do it? - We're doing it, we're doing it.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01- Don't have to.- No, we're doing it. - Definitely?
0:40:01 > 0:40:03Fair enough. You've trusted Paul,
0:40:03 > 0:40:06and we're going with the bonus buy and here it comes.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09A really fabulous Royal Doulton jardiniere. There we are.
0:40:09 > 0:40:10And I'm bid here...
0:40:10 > 0:40:12£12.
0:40:12 > 0:40:1615 and I'm out. I'm asking 18, 18, 20. There's hands everywhere.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20- 22, 5, 8, 30.- Hey, look!- Yay!
0:40:20 > 0:40:24- 2, 5... - See?! You've got to trust him!
0:40:24 > 0:40:27Are you sure? Fair warning, all done. 40.
0:40:27 > 0:40:305. The wife's nudging you, 45.
0:40:30 > 0:40:34- 50. £45 on the front row. We say... - He's got £45.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36Internet is out as well, and gone.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40Yes, very good. That is plus 30, which means, overall, girls,
0:40:40 > 0:40:42you are plus £110.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44- PAUL LAUGHS - Listen, you were brave,
0:40:44 > 0:40:47you went with the bike. You just missed on that,
0:40:47 > 0:40:48but everything else is just perfect.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51- That could be a winning score... - I am surprised.- You are surprised?
0:40:51 > 0:40:55Are you really surprised? You didn't think anything was going to make
0:40:55 > 0:40:57- anything. There you are.- I thought it would be three no sales.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00Anyway, you've done well. Don't say a word to the Reds
0:41:00 > 0:41:01and all will be revealed in a moment.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04- OK.- Well done, anyway.- Thank you. - Thank you very much, Paul.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Well, isn't this lovely?
0:41:13 > 0:41:16- You teams have not been chatting with one another, have you?- ALL: No.
0:41:16 > 0:41:20So you have no idea where the individual scores are, do you?
0:41:20 > 0:41:22Who is ahead and who is behind?
0:41:22 > 0:41:24Both teams are looking remarkably cocky,
0:41:24 > 0:41:27because you are going home with profits, both of you, aren't you?
0:41:27 > 0:41:30- Oh!- And you're going home with substantial profits for
0:41:30 > 0:41:33both teams, which is really exciting.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36But it's just which team is marginally ahead
0:41:36 > 0:41:39or not in the profits stakes, because it happens
0:41:39 > 0:41:45so rarely that we make substantial profits for each team.
0:41:45 > 0:41:46- I can't deal with it!- Oh, no!
0:41:46 > 0:41:49Well, of course, we can't have two teams of winners.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51You have to have a team of runners-up
0:41:51 > 0:41:53and the runners-up today, by a chalk,
0:41:53 > 0:41:56just happen to be...
0:41:56 > 0:41:58- the Reds!- Oh, no! How did that happen?!
0:41:58 > 0:42:00NATASHA LAUGHS
0:42:00 > 0:42:05But you are runners-up today, taking home the masterly sum of £70.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07How about that? £70.
0:42:07 > 0:42:14£65 on that black lacquered tea caddy did a lot to pull back
0:42:14 > 0:42:16the earlier losses. Yes, chaps?
0:42:16 > 0:42:19- Yes, it did.- It certainly did. It was a great team effort.- It was.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23And £70 is a very serious chunk of money. And I congratulate you.
0:42:23 > 0:42:28But it is not a substantial enough chunk to defeat the Blues, oh, no.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31Who are going home with £110!
0:42:31 > 0:42:33- Look at that! - APPLAUSE
0:42:33 > 0:42:35£35 off that Viking jobby,
0:42:35 > 0:42:39£55 off the table lamp,
0:42:39 > 0:42:40which was brilliant.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Then you had a slight hiccup with the tandem bicycle,
0:42:42 > 0:42:46which spoilt your chances of getting the Golden Gavel,
0:42:46 > 0:42:49and then in came Laidlaw with the most hideous - I mean,
0:42:49 > 0:42:52most marvellous jardiniere, which made a profit of £30,
0:42:52 > 0:42:53so well done for that.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55I trusted you in the end, didn't I?
0:42:55 > 0:42:57But the greatest fun of all, yes?
0:42:57 > 0:43:00- To win all round and have such fun. - So good.- Very good.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Anyway, so much fun.
0:43:02 > 0:43:06- Why don't you join us soon for some more bargain hunting? Yes?- ALL: YES!
