0:00:07 > 0:00:11Isn't this glorious? Epsom Downs racecourse in Surrey.
0:00:11 > 0:00:15This place has been the scene of tremendous glory
0:00:15 > 0:00:17and also disappointment.
0:00:17 > 0:00:21It's seen great wins and tremendous losses.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Does this sound familiar?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Let's go bargain hunting, yeah!
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Bargain Hunt is a bit like a day at the races.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59If the going's good, the teams can simply study the form
0:00:59 > 0:01:03and decide when they want to take a punt.
0:01:03 > 0:01:08But it's possible to fall at the first fence
0:01:08 > 0:01:11and to trot off with the trophy.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16On today's programme, the Red Team make no sense.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Who doesn't need a giant fork?
0:01:20 > 0:01:24Do you know how much the Queen spends on your cap badges?
0:01:24 > 0:01:26So, quite possibly the biggest horse that's ever lived.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Whilst the Blue Team makes eyes at the stallholders.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- Let's see your wink. - There it is.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37Time for them to meet the teams, don't you think?
0:01:37 > 0:01:39On today's programme we've got two teams of
0:01:39 > 0:01:41very, very, very good friends.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45For the Reds we've got a brace of Davids.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47And for the Blues we have Nao and Anna.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51- Hello, everyone. - ALL: Hello.- Hello.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52Now, David D, I feel I should salute you
0:01:52 > 0:01:54because you're military men, right?
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Just finished from Sandhurst's 44 week commissioning course,
0:01:57 > 0:01:59and that's where myself and Dave met.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Really good time there in phase one training,
0:02:02 > 0:02:05and we've now joined the same regiment or corps.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06Have you? Good for you.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09So, when you're not about to do it for Queen and country,
0:02:09 > 0:02:11what do you like to get up to?
0:02:11 > 0:02:15I like to keep fit, Tim - cricket, football, badminton and tennis.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17But I've had the unique opportunity of doing
0:02:17 > 0:02:21equestrian during my time at Sandhurst, so that's been all the way
0:02:21 > 0:02:25from kind of learning how to trot and canter up to some jumping as well.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27- Really?- So, really good fun.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29So, is that something you're going to go on with?
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Certainly something I'd like to do again. It was a great opportunity.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35And that will typify, I guess, your time in the Army, really, won't it?
0:02:35 > 0:02:38There'll be opportunities to do a whole load of stuff
0:02:38 > 0:02:40- that isn't commonly available. - That's exactly it.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44Travelling, sports, adventure training, all sorts of stuff.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46- I'm hoping to go to Kenya next year as well.- Yes.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Has the Army taken you all over the world, David?
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Not all over the world, but I've been able to go to Germany
0:02:51 > 0:02:53and the UAE so far with the Army, which has been fantastic.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57And what's this about you being a bit of a Bradley Wiggins?
0:02:57 > 0:02:58I do enjoy doing a lot of cycling.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01I've cycled all up and down the UK and across it as well,
0:03:01 > 0:03:03so, yeah, I do love to get on the bike.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05What you like about the bicycle so much?
0:03:05 > 0:03:06What I really like is the freedom.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08You can get up in the morning,
0:03:08 > 0:03:11decide where you're going to go and just make a beeline for it.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- It's a lot more liberating than the car.- Exactly.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15You've been through the leadership business, right?
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Who's your leader today, or are you jointly in command?
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- It's me, hands down.- I think our expert, actually.- Don't know!
0:03:21 > 0:03:24I can see this working out terribly well! Only joking.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25Anyway, very, very good luck.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Now, girls, your friendship goes back quite a long time, doesn't it?
0:03:29 > 0:03:30Quite a long time, yes.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34We've known each other since we were still this high - 11.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38Our eyes met across the classroom and we've been best friends ever since.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Very good. What do you do for a job of work, Nao?
0:03:41 > 0:03:44I'm a doctor. I work in a hospital in East London.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46I work in the acute medicine department,
0:03:46 > 0:03:49so it's very sort of go, go, go, busy, rush and on your feet.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53- So this is emergencies, essentially, is it?- Kind of.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56After they've come out of A&E, all the medical patients go to
0:03:56 > 0:03:59the acute medical unit and that's where I see them.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01So if they're going to get really, really ill,
0:04:01 > 0:04:02you're there, standing by?
0:04:02 > 0:04:03I'm there! Yeah.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05- Which is the stressful bit, I guess?- Exactly.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08It's stressful but I love the buzz and I love the adrenaline rush
0:04:08 > 0:04:10and it keeps me on my toes.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Now, Anna, you are a high-flying employment lawyer.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14I'm an employment lawyer, yeah.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Don't know about the high-flying part.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Well, that's just the modesty bit kicking in.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23- So, what's the best bet of your job? - Winning.- Is it?
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Yes, going to court and winning.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Nothing like it, absolutely brilliant.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29So just like the movies, is it?
0:04:29 > 0:04:34I wish it was just like the movies but, yeah, sometimes it is.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37And the culture is big in your life, too?
0:04:37 > 0:04:40I like to pretend to be a bit cultured, you see.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43I like going to the theatre and opera and the ballet.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- And making the most of what London has to offer.- Exactly right.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49And what sort of tactics will you two girls be having today, then?
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Are you going to go for a bit of China, or...?
0:04:51 > 0:04:55- I'm quite a big furniture fan. - Furniture?- Yeah, going big.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56Yeah, I'm not big on the furniture.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59I'm more about the jewellery, I think. Smaller, cheaper.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03- Sounds like you're going to get on terribly well!- I think so, yeah. - Absolutely marvellous.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05You need to go on a leadership course, like you two need.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09Anyway, now we go with the do-re-mi. Here's your £300 of cash.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13You know the rules. Your experts await, and off you go.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Very, very, very good luck.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19I always fancied doing a bit of employment law myself.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23So, that's our teams. Now, who are their experts?
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Giving all his attention to the Reds, it's David Harper.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31And working her magic with the Blues, it's Natasha Raskin.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Now, Anna, we are like the Sugababes,
0:05:40 > 0:05:43the Destiny's Child of antiques today
0:05:43 > 0:05:45and is it going to be poptastic? What are you thinking?
0:05:45 > 0:05:49- I think we're going big and bold. - I want to go small...
0:05:49 > 0:05:53OK, well, hopefully we'll find big, small, something in between them.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Let's go find them.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Well, this is a bit of a diversion from your normal daily job.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- It certainly is!- The three Davids.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02David number one, what are we looking for?
0:06:02 > 0:06:05- Anything we can find, anything quirky.- Quirky. Number two?
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Something big. Something that's going to add value.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- And number three says it's time to go shopping.- Let's do this!
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Yeah, let's do this indeed! Your 60 minutes are under way.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20OK, so keep your eyes peeled. Look for imaginative lots.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- I'm very much doing the magpie thing, magpieing.- Shiny.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24You're magpieing.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27That's fine, as long as you swoop in on something fabulous.
0:06:30 > 0:06:31How about the riding crop?
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- Riding crop? OK.- Looks nice.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- Shall we have a look at it? - I see a hallmark there.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39What does that tell us...?
0:06:39 > 0:06:40Let's have a look.
0:06:40 > 0:06:47So, we can see, I think that's a London Mark for 1920.
0:06:47 > 0:06:52- OK, so quite old, then?- Quite old, and that is super quality.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55So, you've got the antler here, the silver collar
0:06:55 > 0:06:59and what looks like malacca, which is a very expensive wood.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01It's a good-quality thing.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04It's a very long leather,
0:07:04 > 0:07:10so it's probably, would you suggest, for carriage use?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- Potentially. I've never ridden a carriage myself.- No? OK.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15I've never whipped a horse in a carriage either.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16You never have done? OK.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Because if that was a horse,
0:07:18 > 0:07:22you were riding the horse and you're going to whip it,
0:07:22 > 0:07:25its bottom would be about here,
0:07:25 > 0:07:28so it's quite possibly the biggest horse that's ever lived,
0:07:28 > 0:07:31so I would suggest it's probably for a carriage.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34That's priced at 136.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39If you want it for yourself, it's an absolute bargain,
0:07:39 > 0:07:40it's a proper piece of kit.
0:07:40 > 0:07:45To make that new today would cost you a few hundred pounds.
0:07:45 > 0:07:51But in auction, I think in general sale, that might be 80-120.
0:07:51 > 0:07:5580-120, so it's quite highly priced. That's quite steep on that.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58It's a well spotted object but I think,
0:07:58 > 0:08:00unless we can get it for substantially less,
0:08:00 > 0:08:03which I don't think he will, it might be a struggle.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06I think we should leave it because it's a specialist item, isn't it?
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- It's a good piece, so... - Good spot, there, good eye.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- Number one, did you spot that? - Yeah, yes.- OK, OK.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Number two, you have to spot something decent now.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18David three is really cracking the whip with his boys.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Now, will Natasha also leave her mark?
0:08:22 > 0:08:24They're really, really beautiful.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27I'd be very surprised if these have a price tag less than,
0:08:27 > 0:08:31you know, £100, £50, something like that. They are lovely.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34So, we've got crocodile skin here
0:08:34 > 0:08:37and probably not actual crocodile skin, I wouldn't imagine.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Probably faux, but nice dyed blue, quite good order,
0:08:40 > 0:08:44the original fitted case, we would hope. And flip those up...
0:08:44 > 0:08:47- I just think they are divine. - For a good price!
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Now, £80 is the price, I can see that.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51I think that that is not asking the Earth,
0:08:51 > 0:08:55but I have a feeling that at auction they would make in the region of
0:08:55 > 0:08:5940, 50, 60, so it's a little bit of a tricky one
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- but they are beautiful. - They are lovely.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- What's your gut feeling? - If we can get them down a little bit.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- Get a good deal. - Give him a bit of a wink.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Show me your wink again!
0:09:10 > 0:09:13LAUGHTER
0:09:13 > 0:09:17- Let's see your wink. - There it is.- £50.- £50.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- Good man, thank you very much.- What do you think, £50?- I think so.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- I think so.- I think it's a good deal.- Shall we do it?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25- Oh, excellent! - Thank you so much.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Crikey, Moses! That's how it's done.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31Our blue magpies swoop in for their first shiny purchase.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35- That was a little bit of womanly charm.- I think that speaks volumes.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Let's see if we can use some more of that over here.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Shameless, but effective tactics, girls.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42David two, it's your turn to blow us away.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48- Come on, then, David two. - What about these cannons, here?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- Thought you might be drawn by those. - Keen eye on them.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Tell us everything you know.
0:09:53 > 0:09:58105 millimetre cannon, this, wheeled.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02So, this is a scaled-down model of something that would have originally
0:10:02 > 0:10:06been made early in the 19th century, Napoleonic Wars, probably.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09I would suggest certainly 19th century.
0:10:09 > 0:10:14All right, well, your copies of 19th-century cannons are £10 each,
0:10:14 > 0:10:17so let's just have one each, shall we? Dave one, can you...
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Oh, thank you.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20See, I like that one.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23So, what have we got there, then? Three models.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25I like them. They're good, novelty things.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28They're man-tiques, these guys.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31These are the kind of object that men buy for themselves
0:10:31 > 0:10:35to put on their desks or their sideboards or windowsills.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Do you think that they would make money?
0:10:37 > 0:10:43I think if we got them for 20 for the three, there'd be a chance.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45- They're just a bit quirky. - Yeah, yeah.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Shall we go for it? Shall we go for 20 for the three?
0:10:47 > 0:10:49- Yeah, let's do it. - Shall we try, then?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Can we do 20 for the three?
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Yes, we can, but I'll do an extra special deal
0:10:55 > 0:10:59and I'll throw in the two little juniors for free.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Oh, good man, good man! Thank you very much indeed.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06- Thank you very much. - Good man, indeed.
0:11:06 > 0:11:11What a deal! We get five cannons for 20 quid. You boys are good.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16So, that's both teams up and running and firing on all cylinders.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Now, what's Tasha found here?
0:11:21 > 0:11:25For me, this is just the most joyful thing I've ever seen in my life.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27- It's a very a happy vase. - It's joyful.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29She doesn't get out much, you know.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31OK, so I'll tell you what I like about it.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34I really, really like the novelty aspect of it.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37The fact that it's a corn on the cob/jug/vase
0:11:37 > 0:11:38is just beautiful.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40I like the fact that it's a little bit crude.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43It's sort of the glazing bleeds in from the brown between the cobs,
0:11:43 > 0:11:46it leads into the green of the stems.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Having a look at the bottom,
0:11:48 > 0:11:51I'm not entirely sure what the maker is there.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54It seems to be kind of late Victorian or early 20th century.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57It does have a potter's mark on there.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59I just think it is just such a good bit of fun pottery.
0:11:59 > 0:12:04And having a little look around it, the handle is a little bit scary.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07It looks like it's not come off, but it's thinking about it,
0:12:07 > 0:12:09and that's just not something that's happened over time.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12That's exactly what happened in the kiln.
0:12:12 > 0:12:17So, it's just a sort of sold as seen fun, novel...
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Would you be willing to take a risk on something that's so crude?
0:12:20 > 0:12:22I don't know. I don't know. I think it's too soon.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25I feel I wouldn't want to commit to it yet.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26Is this desperation stage?
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- I think it might be, yeah. - If we're running out of time.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- Please don't forget about it...- We won't forget your corn on the cob.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33..as I think it's lovely.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35If it means that much to you we'll rethink it later, maybe.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38I think that's fallen on deaf ears, Tasha, don't you?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- OK, if we're desperate, grab a cob.- Absolutely.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46There's a standout theme over in team 3D, though.
0:12:46 > 0:12:52Military cap badges are amazingly well collected all over the world.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55These things are good news.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58They're never worth a fortune unless they're incredibly rare.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59What regiment are you in?
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05- Both of you?- Yes.- OK.- Our cap badge over there.- Is that you?
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- It is, yes.- We're going to have to have a look at your cap badge.
0:13:08 > 0:13:09Let's have a look.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13- So, this is something that you will wear on a daily basis?- Absolutely.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16You've got the horse there with the ball and chain,
0:13:16 > 0:13:20which represents the mechanical energy which is harnessed.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22You've got the lightning bolt there,
0:13:22 > 0:13:25which represents the electrical element to our corps,
0:13:25 > 0:13:27and then the globe down the bottom, there,
0:13:27 > 0:13:31which represents being deployable to wherever we need to go.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33- Fantastic. - Yeah, it's a lovely cap badge.
0:13:33 > 0:13:34- Isn't it just?- Yeah, very nice.
0:13:34 > 0:13:39And is that as new, do you think, as the cap badges that you two wear?
0:13:39 > 0:13:43Yeah. It looks quite shiny, so it could well be, yeah.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Do you know how much the Queen spends on your cap badges?
0:13:46 > 0:13:49- I don't, no. - I haven't asked her, but...
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- Well, how much is that one? - £9.- £9?
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Well, I reckon she spends more than £9 on your cap badges,
0:13:55 > 0:13:59- I would suggest.- Maybe. - So, it's not a bad price.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03But in auction, as a single object, it's not going to, you know,
0:14:03 > 0:14:04make too much, is it?
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Not pinning our hopes on that, then. The old ones are the best ones!
0:14:13 > 0:14:15BOTH: Whoa!
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Are you doing deals behind my back?
0:14:17 > 0:14:21You like the vase? You like the pot? Which one are you thinking?
0:14:21 > 0:14:25I think it's got a bit of wear and tear. It's clearly been used.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Well, I'm having a good old shufty.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31And with 20 minutes left, it seems Tasha has more joy to spread.
0:14:31 > 0:14:36So, obviously coming from Scotland I'm a big Arts and Crafts fan.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39As I walked past this I thought, "Oh, how delightful is that?!"
0:14:39 > 0:14:43It's an oak Arts and Crafts stationary box. Boxes are quite hot.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47It's really nice on the inside. It's pretty immaculate.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50It's period Art Nouveau and I just think
0:14:50 > 0:14:54that these brass brackets are just absolutely gorgeous.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- You know, we've got all of the hinges.- I love this.
0:14:57 > 0:14:58I agree. I like solid wood.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02- Yeah, I think people will like that on their desks.- OK.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- But the price tag is £55. - Oh, a bit steep.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07And the lady will go to 45.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09I mean, I could ask for 40. I just asked in passing.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11- But it does tick the boxes for you? - Definitely.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14- I feel like trying for 40 though. - If you can get it down to 40,
0:15:14 > 0:15:16- then we're sold, too. - Wish me luck.- Good luck!
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Not that you'll need it. I think that's a dead cert.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Now, those Davids have a question.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Who doesn't need a giant fork?
0:15:25 > 0:15:26Me.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Oh, my gosh.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32You two are an interesting couple, aren't you?
0:15:32 > 0:15:34- OK, talk to me. - Well, it looks hand-carved.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Oh, yeah, it's definitely hand-carved.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40- Obviously it's a giant fork. - Is it a functioning object?
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Was it made for a purpose? Or is it just a display piece?
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Little bit of dinner there.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48- Right, ladies.- How'd you get on?
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Oh, my goodness, I'm working up a sweat here.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54The lady was a lady and she liked the cut of your jib
0:15:54 > 0:15:56- and she said 40 shall do it. - Brilliant!
0:15:56 > 0:16:00- So, are you quite happy with that? - Yeah, we've got a deal. We'll take it.- Excellent.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02I think for a solid bit of oak, surely we're onto a winner there?
0:16:02 > 0:16:08- BOTH: Think so.- OK, two down, one more to go. Let's do it! OK.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12So, now, Dave one and two, how's the fork pitch going?
0:16:12 > 0:16:15I just think it speaks out to me, speaks volumes.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- It speaks volumes about you two. - What can it not do?
0:16:18 > 0:16:20It can't feed you.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Well, it could, you know.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25I mean, somebody could hold that while I ate my dinner off that.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28This sounds to me like an army officer's mess game.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Me, too.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33It's a hardwood, so it's pitch pine.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36And in actual fact, pitch pine is as hard as oak,
0:16:36 > 0:16:38even though it is a pine.
0:16:38 > 0:16:43It's quite light, very sturdy and it's got a great colour and,
0:16:43 > 0:16:49yes, great on a wall or in the officers' mess.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52It's a bit wild, it's a bit funky, and actually I do like it.
0:16:52 > 0:16:53What's the price, though, team?
0:16:55 > 0:16:58It's £35. I've got a wife and six children to feed.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59I'll do 30 quid for you.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02OK, D1 and D2, decision time.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06- I'm sold, yeah, yeah. - Happy with that. Let's do it.- Yeah.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09They were sold on this the moment they clapped eyes on it.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Thank you very much indeed.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13You're welcome. Good luck.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15And that's two apiece.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19- Has something caught your eye here? - We like this whole stall. - We like the wine quite a lot.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21- Are things getting that tough? - I think they might be.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24It's going to be right down to the second, I reckon.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28Any plan of attack here? It's a military campaign, chaps, come on!
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- Do we may be want something more quirky?- A bit more quirky.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33I'm quirky!
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Something nice, intricate, detailed usable.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- Are you looking for a big money spend?- Yes.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43Well, that's decided then. Just the small matter of finding it all.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47- It's time to get serious now.- Yeah. I've got to have my game face on.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Game face on.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50- I love that vase.- No.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Oh, my gosh. You're trouble, you two, aren't you?
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Nothing too exquisite, I don't think...
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Don't take all day, teams. Less than five minutes left!
0:18:00 > 0:18:03That top one, on the top tier of the case, is that silver?
0:18:06 > 0:18:10- Birmingham, 1930, I think it is. - OK. That's a rather nice thing.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- Very pretty.- Look at the very lovely, crisp hallmark there.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Now, it's important to see that, actually.
0:18:16 > 0:18:17Because silver, it's a very soft metal.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19It's a precious metal, but it's soft,
0:18:19 > 0:18:21and of course it tarnishes very quickly.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23So, it's cleaned regularly
0:18:23 > 0:18:26and of course it rubs away the hallmarks, but there you go.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29This is a good, usable thing.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Very often, silver, in its weight,
0:18:31 > 0:18:34is worth more than the intrinsic value of the piece.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37This would always be worth much more than its weight
0:18:37 > 0:18:40because of what it is.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43A spectacles case is actually quite a rare thing.
0:18:43 > 0:18:44I like it.
0:18:44 > 0:18:49It's a pretty item but the main thing I like about it is it's usable.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52It's kind of a piece that you could use for your glasses,
0:18:52 > 0:18:56- to keep them in. - And what a cool thing to have.- Yeah.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Quite possibly the original velvet lining. It's a good thing.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Can you help us on the price?
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Cost price - you can have it, my cost price is 120,
0:19:06 > 0:19:08- you can have it for cost price if you want it.- OK.- Yeah.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10That's very good of you, thank you.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- OK. 120.- Happy with that.- Yeah.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16- Two and a half minutes to go. - Let's seal the deal, yeah.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20I think we've sold it to ourselves and you've helped there, as well.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- So, 120?- 120. I'm happy with that. - We've got a deal.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25- Thank you very much. - Thank you, thanks.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Stand easy, chaps.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- Two minutes for a cup of tea. On me.- Let's do it.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35With no time for tea, the cob vase seems to have grown on the Blues.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39We go in there, all guns blazing and say,
0:19:39 > 0:19:41dear lady, we need your cob.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43We want your cob in our lives.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48- We need a cob and we want it cheap.- OK.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52Hello, hi. So, we've got our eye on the corn, right?
0:19:52 > 0:19:55We're wondering what kind of deal you can give us?
0:19:55 > 0:19:58I have put it on for 35 but I can...
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Best price possible is 25.
0:20:02 > 0:20:10- I don't know if that's going to work for us. We were thinking closer to 18.- 18. Say 20, it's yours.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12- I don't know. I don't know. - What do you think?
0:20:12 > 0:20:15- Shall we do £20, something like that?- Let's do it.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19- All right.- I think we'll do it.- It's a deal. Thank you.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Time's up, you horrible lot.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:20:26 > 0:20:31They shelled out £20 for the trio of cannons plus two free miniatures.
0:20:31 > 0:20:36In a two pronged attack, they staked £30 on the pine fork.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Having clapped eyes on the silver spectacle case
0:20:42 > 0:20:44they paid £120 for it.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49OK, Dave, Dave, Dave.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52I've been longing to do that all day.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- Had a nice time?- Great time, yes. - Was it a good shop?
0:20:55 > 0:20:59- Fantastic shop. - Did the boys obey orders, David?
0:20:59 > 0:21:04- Remarkably they did. From a corporal as well.- Good fun.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Now, David, tell me which is your favourite piece?
0:21:07 > 0:21:09My favourite piece has got to be the fork. The large fork.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13It was quirky, it was fun and hoping it makes some profit at auction.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17- You all know about pitching in! - Absolutely, yes. Teamwork.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19And, David, which is your favourite piece?
0:21:19 > 0:21:21It's got to be the fork as well.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- Something handcrafted, something big like that.- Very good.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27- And is the fork going to bring the biggest profit?- I don't think so.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31I think the biggest profit is going to come from the cannons.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Biggest profit prediction there. David, do you agree with that?
0:21:34 > 0:21:36- No, I think it's going to be the glasses case.- Do you?
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Yes, silver there's got to be a value to it.
0:21:38 > 0:21:43OK, we have a split decision there. How much did you spend in toto?
0:21:43 > 0:21:48- £170.- £170. I'd like £130 of leftover lolly, please. Thank you.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51I won't bother counting it. You're an officer.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54And hand it over to our gentleman, David.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57What are you going to spend the 130 on?
0:21:57 > 0:21:59We started with a bit of a military theme
0:21:59 > 0:22:01and I thought this was the way we were going to go,
0:22:01 > 0:22:03so I'm going to go back to the beginning
0:22:03 > 0:22:07and I'm going to get you boys something you're going to love. Very military.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11OK. You are such a tease, David Harper. Relax up, chaps.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15Meanwhile we're going to check out what the Blue team bought, aren't we?
0:22:15 > 0:22:19The silver spoons proved to be stirring stuff, bought for £50.
0:22:21 > 0:22:26They then moved on to the Arts and Crafts stationery box for £40.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Not to everyone's taste,
0:22:29 > 0:22:32they settled on the corn on the cob shaped vase for £20.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33Yum yum.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- So that's it, is it?- This is it. - Final buy.- Number three item.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- Yep, it's a corn on the cob. - It certainly is.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43I've seen those before.
0:22:43 > 0:22:48It's rather fun, isn't it, in that sort of lead glaze majolica style?
0:22:48 > 0:22:51- Yes.- Which is your favourite item?
0:22:51 > 0:22:56- I think it's the corn.- This might be it! After all of that protest I think this might be it.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- Yeah.- This is the favourite. Is it your favourite too? - It is, yes.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02OK, lovely. That's great. Is it going to bring the biggest profit?
0:23:02 > 0:23:06- Probably not.- We just don't know. - You spent how much, all told?
0:23:06 > 0:23:09- 110.- 110, I'd like £190 of leftover lolly.- Hand it over.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10Painful.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- You're not keen on passing that over, are you?- We're not.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15I'm very keen to get rid of it to my friend, Natasha.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19What are you going to spend your £190 on for our bonus buy?
0:23:19 > 0:23:22I'm going to steer clear of anything cob related and I'll try
0:23:22 > 0:23:25and find something befitting of two beautiful young professionals.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29- So it won't be vegetable but it might be mineral?- It might be mineral.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32We'll look forward to that. Anyway, you relax up, girls,
0:23:32 > 0:23:35because we're heading off on a bit of a trip.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36We're going to Winchester
0:23:36 > 0:23:40because we're going to visit the Royal Green Jackets Museum.
0:23:40 > 0:23:41Atten-shun!
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Winchester is the former capital of England.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49The place where the Domesday Book was assembled
0:23:49 > 0:23:52and once home to great kings and conquerors.
0:23:59 > 0:24:04Here in the Peninsula Barracks, which were built on the site of a castle
0:24:04 > 0:24:09built by William the Conqueror, is the Royal Green Jackets Museum.
0:24:09 > 0:24:14The Royal Green Jackets were formed from three infantry and rifle
0:24:14 > 0:24:19regiments, including the 95th, which were made famous by the Sharpe
0:24:19 > 0:24:23historical novels which you may have seen on the TV.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24OK, old bean?
0:24:28 > 0:24:33The 95th Rifles was an experimental corps when founded in 1800
0:24:33 > 0:24:36and were the first rifle regiment in the British Army.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39They dressed in camouflage green jackets as opposed to
0:24:39 > 0:24:41the bright red worn by infantry regiments
0:24:41 > 0:24:46and provided sharpshooters who were the first to be sent into battle.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Through the 19th century, the Green Jackets were involved
0:24:55 > 0:24:59in numerous campaigns that took them all around the world,
0:24:59 > 0:25:03but there was one particular journey in the troopship
0:25:03 > 0:25:08Warren Hastings where the troop's bravery was well and truly tested.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12Museum curator Christine Pullen is going to tell me about it.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14- Good morning.- Good morning.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17What exactly happened on the Warren Hastings?
0:25:17 > 0:25:21The troopship left Cape Town in South Africa on
0:25:21 > 0:25:266th January 1897 on their way to Mauritius.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30On their journey, they veered eight miles off course
0:25:30 > 0:25:34and hit some rocks off the small island called Reunion.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36They were worried about the stability of the ship
0:25:36 > 0:25:38and how they get troops off.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41The captain of the ship, Commander Holland,
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- asked the troops to get down below decks.- Below decks?
0:25:44 > 0:25:47So you can imagine the situation.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50They'd been blown off course, they struck a rock, they are being
0:25:50 > 0:25:53buffeted about, they have been ordered below to act as ballast.
0:25:53 > 0:25:58- So they are the first to go to Davy Jones' Locker when they sink.- Yes.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03The commander thought it would be wise to wait until sunlight to
0:26:03 > 0:26:07get the women and children off the ship so it would be less dangerous.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12With the sheer power of the sea battering the vessel, the situation
0:26:12 > 0:26:15became so treacherous that the women and children had to be helped
0:26:15 > 0:26:20off the ship in the pitch black and with the storm in full force.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25There was a real threat of drowning
0:26:25 > 0:26:29as not everyone on board could swim and the waves were fierce.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33One soldier, Rifleman McNamara, bravely set off with ropes
0:26:33 > 0:26:37securing them to the rocks enabling the escape of non swimmers.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44And how many people were on board?
0:26:44 > 0:26:48There were 993 passengers so there was a lot on board.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50And how many survivors were there?
0:26:50 > 0:26:55- Luckily enough there were only two casualties.- 991 survivors.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57That is extraordinary, isn't it?
0:26:57 > 0:27:00To get that lot overboard and safely ashore, incredible.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03And they even managed to salvage some of their belongings
0:27:03 > 0:27:07from the shipwreck as well, including the regimental silver
0:27:07 > 0:27:09that would have been used at the time.
0:27:09 > 0:27:14It's amazing that the regiment would travel on campaign and around the
0:27:14 > 0:27:19world with sets of queen's and king's patent solid silver cutlery.
0:27:19 > 0:27:20That's right.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24I think all standards were maintained wherever they went in the Empire.
0:27:24 > 0:27:25And what is this plaque?
0:27:25 > 0:27:29This shield is made from timber from the wreck of the Warren Hastings.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31We have the two regiments here on board.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34The first Battalion Kings Royal Rifle Corps and also
0:27:34 > 0:27:37the Second Battalion York & Lancaster Regiment.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41The officers are listed along with the captain of the troop ship.
0:27:41 > 0:27:46- So that's incredibly pertinent to the wreck.- Yes.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Well, Christine, I think it's brilliant that all these
0:27:48 > 0:27:51things exist and are perfectly cared for in your museum.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54And thank you very much for telling us all about it.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57The big question today is just how brave are our teams
0:27:57 > 0:27:59about to be over at the auction?
0:28:05 > 0:28:08I'm about to head into the auction now.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11But first, spot the deliberate mistake.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22We find ourselves in central London.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25We find ourselves at High Road Auctions in Chiswick,
0:28:25 > 0:28:30we find ourselves with Ross Mercer. Ross, good morning.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32- Good morning, Tim. - How are you?- Very well.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35Well, I'm disappointed by the look of these cannon because, I suspect,
0:28:35 > 0:28:39uniquely, they all came from Woolworths and not very long ago.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42- What do you think about them? - No great age, are they, Tim?
0:28:42 > 0:28:45They're ornamental, if someone wants one on their desk.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49- They're a bit of fun but no quality there I'm afraid.- Exactly.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53- What's your estimate? - We said £30 to £50.- Generous.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56Well, that's marvellous. £20 paid.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59Next up is this so-called pitchfork.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02Well, it's a sort of pitchfork, isn't it?
0:29:02 > 0:29:04Yeah, I think someone's been quite industrious.
0:29:04 > 0:29:08It's hopefully someone with a second country property maybe,
0:29:08 > 0:29:13- decorate their kitchen. - OK. Perfect. Made in the East. Good.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17- What's your estimate?- On that we've said £20 to £40.- Well done.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21£30 they've paid, in the middle. You'll probably make it, too.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24But the object that I think is going to have a bit of a problem
0:29:24 > 0:29:27may well be this engine-turned spectacle case.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30- So, do you like this thing? - I do, actually, Tim.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34There's...uh...it's had an easy life, the spectacle case.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38No dents, no-one's sat on it which is quite handy.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41And we do quite well with objects of virtue...
0:29:41 > 0:29:44- so, I think there will be people after it.- Very good.
0:29:44 > 0:29:45So, what's your estimate?
0:29:45 > 0:29:49- We said £100-£150. - OK, £120 paid.- Right.
0:29:49 > 0:29:50I'm a bit nervous about it though
0:29:50 > 0:29:54because they've stuck a lot of money in one object.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58Anyway, if they don't get to the mark with the spectacle case
0:29:58 > 0:30:01they're going to need the bonus buy so let's have a look at that.
0:30:01 > 0:30:05Now, £130 you gave to Dave in the way of leftover lolly.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09- So, Dave, what did you spend it on? - OK, ready, boys?
0:30:09 > 0:30:13OK, this should be right up your street
0:30:13 > 0:30:16and I reckon you two are going to tell me all about it.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18Over to you, D1.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22- D1?- I have absolutely no idea.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25- Over to you, D2.- Let's have a look at it. It's a whistle?
0:30:25 > 0:30:28- Oh, it's a periscope.- What kind of training have you been given?
0:30:28 > 0:30:35- It's a periscope.- Yes. It's a Lee Enfield rifle barrel periscope.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37It's a proper military issue, 20th-century.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40you've got the crow's foot on there. You know?
0:30:40 > 0:30:45This is something that is vitally important if you've got a rifle.
0:30:45 > 0:30:49The theory is with this gadget that you bung that up
0:30:49 > 0:30:52the end of the barrel and take a squint through that mirror
0:30:52 > 0:30:55and it will show you if there is an obstruction up the barrel.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Anyway, that's the theory, Dave, right?
0:30:57 > 0:31:02That's the theory and I thought just perfect for you military boys.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06- How much, he's asking, how much did you spend?- What do you think?
0:31:06 > 0:31:09I mean, it's a good piece of machinery that,
0:31:09 > 0:31:14- it's really well made.- 30 quid?- 30 quid, bang on, D1.- Happy days.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17- Yes.- How much do you think it will make then in the auction?
0:31:17 > 0:31:20Well, it could... 30 to 50 as an estimate.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23OK, happy with that, chaps? You heard his prediction.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26Well, right now, why don't we check out what the auctioneer thinks about Dave's gadget.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29What do you make of that?
0:31:30 > 0:31:32I think it's quite fun, Tim.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35A bit of a novelty but we like our militaria here,
0:31:35 > 0:31:40it seems to do quite well so we'll see what happens on the day.
0:31:40 > 0:31:46- So, what's your estimate?- On that we have said £20-£40.- Very good.
0:31:46 > 0:31:51£30 was paid by the David Harper and he clearly rates it too,
0:31:51 > 0:31:52so, we'll see what happens.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58First up are at the six rather lonely coffee spoons which
0:31:58 > 0:32:03- I'm pretty certain never started in that case. Do you agree?- I do, yes.
0:32:03 > 0:32:07It's an earlier case, probably predates the spoons by 20 years.
0:32:07 > 0:32:11And there is little bits of fault with some of the enamel work
0:32:11 > 0:32:16- which might, they might struggle today.- What's your estimate?
0:32:16 > 0:32:19- Well, on those, we've said £40-£60. - OK, £50 paid.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22Actually slap bang in the middle.
0:32:22 > 0:32:27Natasha is very, very pleased with the correspondence box,
0:32:27 > 0:32:28the stationery box.
0:32:28 > 0:32:32And I have to say, it is nicely made, isn't it?
0:32:32 > 0:32:35It's nicely fitted, it's nicely joined as well.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38I think...not very useful today
0:32:38 > 0:32:42- unless you're still writing letters on your bureau, Tim.- So how much?
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Well, we said £30 to £50.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47OK, £40 paid by Natasha so, I think that's fair enough.
0:32:47 > 0:32:52Anyway, and lastly is this corn on the cob...jug.
0:32:52 > 0:32:57It is an out-and-out fake, really, probably trying to copy
0:32:57 > 0:33:01Minton of the late 19th century, so just really of decorative value.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05- Which would be?- £20 to £40. - Well, only paid £20.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07So...OK, fine, thanks for that, Ross.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10I think they may get their comeuppance with the enamel
0:33:10 > 0:33:13and silver coffee spoons and if they do they're going to need
0:33:13 > 0:33:15a bonus buy, so let's go and check it out.
0:33:17 > 0:33:21- Well, girls, this is exciting, isn't it?- Certainly is.- "Certainly is".
0:33:21 > 0:33:22I can't tell you how excited I am.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26Anyway, the fact of the matter is, you gave Natasha Raskin £190.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Girl, what did you spend it on?
0:33:28 > 0:33:32I bought you two a really fun pair of items.
0:33:32 > 0:33:37A pair of gorgeous Art Deco, I hope, bookends that are beautiful.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40Take one each and enjoy them because they're a pair.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44A lovely duo like you two. They're really lovely material as well.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47Sort of basic wood, the tree element is very Art Deco
0:33:47 > 0:33:49with the geometric shapes but the actual owls
0:33:49 > 0:33:53themselves are formed of two tagua nuts,
0:33:53 > 0:33:57which are Ecuadorian seeds from a sort of palm tree
0:33:57 > 0:34:00that grows in Ecuador, and they are so beautiful on the outside
0:34:00 > 0:34:03they've got this almost tortoiseshell effect.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06- Well, now, what do you think? - I would buy them if I could.
0:34:06 > 0:34:10- How much did you spend on them? - That's the important question.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Not a huge sum of money for a beautiful decorative
0:34:12 > 0:34:16- pair of bookends. I spent £56.- Not bad, not bad.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Not cheap, but I did get them down from around 70, 75.
0:34:19 > 0:34:24- What are we going to make? - Well, hopefully, £70, £80, £90.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28- I don't know.- So, anyway, there's a nice prediction.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31And on that happy note, why don't we for the audience at home check out
0:34:31 > 0:34:35what the auctioneer thinks about Natasha's nutty bookends.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39Now, Ross, there we go. I think they're charming.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42Yes, well...it's certainly something which has been handmade.
0:34:42 > 0:34:48And that appeals to a lot of people. Treen as well as exotic nuts.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50They could very well have been someone's tourist gift.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53Exactly, I think they're quite sweet. What's your estimate?
0:34:53 > 0:34:56Well, on those we've said £30 to £50.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Well, Natasha paid £56 so she's probably paid near the top
0:34:59 > 0:35:00end of it.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03- Yes, she's obviously passionate for that.- Exactly.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Well, you're wielding the gavel, right? Yes?
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Yes. And I will do everything that I can for her.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09I'm sure you will. We are in safe hands.
0:35:13 > 0:35:14Well, stand by.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17We are about to go into battle and first up are the battery of cannons.
0:35:17 > 0:35:18Here they come.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21Lot number 20, cast iron and brass miniature models
0:35:21 > 0:35:22of cannon, of course.
0:35:22 > 0:35:28Some interest here. Bids start at £15. I have 15. £18 bid now.
0:35:28 > 0:35:3418 bid. 20, then, 2? 24, 26? 28,
0:35:34 > 0:35:38- 30 now? £30.- £30.- 30, 5? 35.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42At £35 in the seating, at 35.
0:35:42 > 0:35:47At £35, last chance, I'm going to sell now at £35 only.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50Well done, chaps. Good profit. That's £15.
0:35:50 > 0:35:55The next lot is lot number 21, the unusual pitch pine fork.
0:35:55 > 0:36:00Bid me 10. At £10, I'm bid at 10. Can't get any more? At £10 bid.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04At 10? 12, may I say? £12? £14, £16?
0:36:04 > 0:36:07- Yes. - Bid 18? £18. Bid 20, sir?
0:36:07 > 0:36:11- Go on!- £20. 5? 25. 30 now.
0:36:11 > 0:36:16£25, the gentleman has bid. I'm going to sell them at £25. All done?
0:36:18 > 0:36:19£25 is minus £5.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22They don't like Transylvanian forks here in West London.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25- I find that surprising. - You are still plus £10.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29Lot number 22, the rather nice 1930s silver spectacle case.
0:36:29 > 0:36:34- Really good-quality lot here. Bids start again.- Against the wall, £60.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37- With me at £60. - That's OK, opening bid.
0:36:37 > 0:36:4165 bid, 70. 75. 80, Sir? At £80 bid.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44At 80. 5? 85. At 85, 90.
0:36:44 > 0:36:485? Fresh bidder. 95 bid. 100. 110?
0:36:48 > 0:36:53At £110, 110. At £110, gentleman has bid at 110.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56And I'm going to sell at £110 only.
0:36:57 > 0:37:03£110. It's minus £10. So after that lot, you have got nowhere.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06You have nothing. No profit, no loss.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08What are you going to do about the bonus buy, then?
0:37:08 > 0:37:12- I mean, having nothing could be a winning score...- Let's go for it.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15- Yeah.- You're going to do it?
0:37:15 > 0:37:17- Yes.- You are going with the bonus buy? Lovely.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20I can tell you now that the auctioneer's estimate is £20-£40.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24You paid £30, David, so you're slap bang in the middle.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27And you are absolutely right. This military stuff does seem to be hot.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29Let's find out how hot it is. Here we go.
0:37:29 > 0:37:34Lot 26 is a part of the Lee Enfield cleaning kit.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38It is the barrel bore periscope inspection tool.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41- Bids start at- £8. 8?
0:37:41 > 0:37:44At £8, which seems pretty mean, to me. Straight in at 10.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47£10 I am bid. £20 on the internet.
0:37:47 > 0:37:51At £20, £30 now on the internet.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54At 30. At £30 I am bid.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57Any over £30 on the floor?
0:37:57 > 0:38:01At £30 on the internet, I'm going to sell. At £30 all done.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03One more... Oh!
0:38:03 > 0:38:07£30 is what he paid! Again, nothing.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10Which is better than getting somewhere which is in a minus score,
0:38:10 > 0:38:12right? So that is the positive.
0:38:12 > 0:38:17Whatever you do, say nothing to the Blues. On a need-to-know basis.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34- OK, well, is this delicious, girls, or is it delicious?- Very delicious.
0:38:34 > 0:38:35Very, very delicious.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37We have got the coffee spoons with the enamel details
0:38:37 > 0:38:39and here they come. How exciting is this?
0:38:39 > 0:38:45Next lot now. It's lot 39, the cased set of silver coffee spoons.
0:38:45 > 0:38:50- Guichet enamel, £10 I am bid. At 10. 15.- OK, here we go. 20.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52£20 bid. 5?
0:38:52 > 0:38:57£30, new buyer. At 30, 5? £35 now on the left-hand side. Still at 35.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59Make it 40. One more?
0:38:59 > 0:39:06- £40.- Yes!- £45 now? Gentleman has bid on my left? And £45 now.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Last chance, I am going to sell at 45.
0:39:11 > 0:39:16- £45 is minus £5. Better than I thought. Well done.- So close.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18The next lot then, lot number 40.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21This is the rather fun little correspondence box.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24In the Arts and Crafts style. Bids start here, £20 bid.
0:39:24 > 0:39:29- £20 is all right as a starting point.- 26. 28.
0:39:29 > 0:39:3428 bid, 30? At £30, left-hand side at 30. I will take 5...
0:39:34 > 0:39:37- He's looking nervous.- 32? 34?
0:39:37 > 0:39:41At £34, 36 now. We are getting very excited up here.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44At £36 on the internet. 38.
0:39:44 > 0:39:48- At £38, make it 40? £40.- 40 bid. - OK.- On the internet, now at £40.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Looking for 5. On the internet now at 40.
0:39:50 > 0:39:54- We need a profit on it!- £45.- 45!
0:39:54 > 0:39:58At £50. On the internet at £50.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00- £50. That's better. That's better.- All done.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03I am going to sell now. At £50. At 50.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07On my right with Jackie, at £50, I'm going to sell.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10- £50.- There you are, I told you it would be all right.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Plus £10 on that one. Which means you are plus £5.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16The next lot now is the corn on the cob jug.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19Where do we start the bidding? £5, surely?
0:40:19 > 0:40:21Come along, you mean lot. I will lend you the money! £5 bid.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23At 5. 8.
0:40:23 > 0:40:2710. 12, my dear? £12 bid. 14? 16? 18?
0:40:27 > 0:40:30- Yes.- Stood in front now, £20.
0:40:30 > 0:40:35- Keep going, couple more.- £20. Last chance. I have to sell now.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38- At £20 only...- No, no, no.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41He sold it for £20. It wiped its face.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43Yes! Listen, you are £5 up.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46Profit. That could be a winning score.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49What are you going to do about the tagua nut bookends?
0:40:49 > 0:40:53- This is a big decision, here. - I think...- What do you think?
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Maybe leave it. We said if we were in profit...
0:40:55 > 0:40:59We did agree, if we were in profit, we wouldn't. No, it's not happening.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02No bonus buy. But we are going to sell it anyway and let's find out.
0:41:02 > 0:41:06The pair of unusual carved treen tagua nut bookends.
0:41:06 > 0:41:10£10 bid? 15? Bid 15, 20?
0:41:10 > 0:41:115 now?
0:41:11 > 0:41:16£25 bid, 30 in front. At £30. Internet, are you coming in?
0:41:16 > 0:41:22At £30, the lady has got it now. 30. Sold.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24- How much did you sell?- £30!- Is that all?
0:41:24 > 0:41:26You are so...
0:41:26 > 0:41:30£30 is minus £26. Except you never went with it.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33- Which means you are plus £5. - We'll have that. Very happy.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36- And all will be revealed in a moment.- OK.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39- Bravo, girls - bravo the trio. - Well done!
0:41:48 > 0:41:51We have had fun, haven't we? Now, do you know the scores?
0:41:51 > 0:41:55- Anybody know the scores?- No.- You don't know your rivals' scores? No?
0:41:55 > 0:41:59Well, we have got a serious chasm between our teams today,
0:41:59 > 0:42:04- I have to say.- Oh, no! - We don't have losers any more, we only have runners-up.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06And the runners-up today by a chunk are...
0:42:06 > 0:42:08the Reds.
0:42:08 > 0:42:13- Oh! How can that be?- I know, how can it be? You was robbed, I know.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15- And you finished up with absolutely nothing.- Great.
0:42:15 > 0:42:19Normally, that would be a winning score, getting nothing.
0:42:19 > 0:42:24But today, it wasn't good enough against our young pros over here.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26I tell you, our young pros did really,
0:42:26 > 0:42:30really well because they have made £5 of profit.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33Well done us!
0:42:33 > 0:42:37- So there is nothing between you. You just happened to get lucky, girls, didn't you?- I think so.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39- No, skill, I think! - You have got the skill.
0:42:39 > 0:42:43The correspondence box I predicted would make you a nice profit, which it did.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46You didn't go with the bonus buy, that was your wisest move today.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49You preserved your £5.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52You have been excellent sports and it has been such fun.
0:42:52 > 0:42:57Why don't you join us soon for some more bargain hunting? Yes? Yes!
