0:00:03 > 0:00:07Did you know that the first jar
0:00:07 > 0:00:11of a well-known yeast spread was
0:00:11 > 0:00:15produced here in Staffordshire, as a result of the by-product
0:00:15 > 0:00:19of the brewing industry, nigh on 100 years ago?
0:00:19 > 0:00:23Well, our teams today are going to love it in Staffordshire. Why?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Because let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:26 > 0:00:28- Yeah! Mmm! - HE CRUNCHES TOAST
0:00:52 > 0:00:55We're at the Stafford Showground,
0:00:55 > 0:00:59with our two teams hot out of the stalls and raring to go.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03They each get £300 and then are to shop for three items.
0:01:03 > 0:01:09And then it'll be the first past the post to collect all that cash.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Let's take a sneaky peek as to what's coming up...
0:01:14 > 0:01:16The Reds are blowing the budget.
0:01:16 > 0:01:21I'm afraid we've spent our money. We haven't got that much left.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23While the Blues are counting the pennies...
0:01:23 > 0:01:26- We've got to have you spend a bit more money, guys.- Ooh!
0:01:26 > 0:01:27Come on, come on!
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- Down at the auction, the Reds have gone a bit "hatty".- Go on!- Come on!
0:01:33 > 0:01:36And the Blues are keeping tight-lipped.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37Let's meet today's teams.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Well, it's girls versus boys today,
0:01:41 > 0:01:46with our ravishing ladies wearing red, Sue and Anne.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49And for the Blues, it's Tex and Ren.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51- Hello, everyone!- Hi, Tim! - Hello!- Sue...
0:01:51 > 0:01:55- Yes?- You are looking fantastic, girl! - Thank you!
0:01:55 > 0:01:57So, what's all this red titfer business?
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Based loosely on Jenny Joseph's poem, Warning -
0:02:00 > 0:02:02"When I'm an old lady, I shall wear purple and a red hat
0:02:02 > 0:02:03"that doesn't suit and doesn't go.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06"And spend a pension on brandy and we shall have no butter."
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Ah... So, it's a rather disrespectful
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Pensioners Association then, is it?
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- Well, you could put it like that! - Ladies growing old disgracefully.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Oh, how lovely! And you always go in this garb, with this colour scheme?
0:02:20 > 0:02:23There's only two rules and one is, if you're out, you were purple clothes
0:02:23 > 0:02:25- and a red hat... - Yes...- ..and you have fun.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27OK, what sort of fun do you have then?
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Well, we've done hot-air ballooning,
0:02:29 > 0:02:32we've been on a trip to see the Northern Lights.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- Gad about a bit then.- Mm! - Well, this is lovely, isn't it?
0:02:35 > 0:02:40What about The Unruly And Cheeky Old Tarts? Where's that come from?
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- THEY LAUGH You choose a silly name for your chapter.- Oh, do you?
0:02:43 > 0:02:47And we tried to think of something that would encapsulate what we are.
0:02:47 > 0:02:53Now, Anne, how did you two meet? Was it in a debauched state?
0:02:53 > 0:02:57No, no, we were very sedate young ladies, 17 years ago,
0:02:57 > 0:03:01- we met at work and then we became very great friends.- Brilliant.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05- Where did you work? - We work for our local GP.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09What I CAN ask you about, though, is your hair-raising hobbies.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14- Like what?- Like...parascending off perfectly good mountains
0:03:14 > 0:03:16in New Zealand. Jumped off and he kept it up for 40 minutes.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19You came down smiling anyway. That was the main thing.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Very good. How are you going to get on, you two, today,
0:03:22 > 0:03:24when it comes to buying all this stuff for Bargain Hunt?
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Well, we're very hopeful, aren't we, Anne?
0:03:27 > 0:03:30We work as a team at work, so we can work as a team here.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Yeah, exactly. Anyway, welcome to Bargain Hunt.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35I think you'll do jolly well. Now, chaps!
0:03:35 > 0:03:39We've got these regal queen bees here but it was actually
0:03:39 > 0:03:41the Queen's Head that brought you together, wasn't it?
0:03:41 > 0:03:45- Yes, it was, Tim.- Is that your boozer?- It was our local boozer.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49- You've had all sorts of adventures together?- Yes, we have.
0:03:49 > 0:03:54We've been out for Ren's stag do, dressed as nurses, in full outfits.
0:03:54 > 0:03:59- Really?- With smocks.- Smocks? - Wearing tights...- Miniskirts?
0:03:59 > 0:04:06- Erm, so-high...- Fishnet tights? Really?- Yes.- That is real boy bonding, that, isn't it?
0:04:06 > 0:04:11- Well, we have no shame!- No. But your career, Tex, should mean that you're
0:04:11 > 0:04:15- very comfortable with our crew and all this stuff today.- Yes, yes.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- It feels weird being THIS side of the camera...- What exactly do you do?
0:04:19 > 0:04:23I'm a cameraman/vision mixer for a shopping channel here in the UK.
0:04:23 > 0:04:28- Brilliant. Ren, what you do for a living?- I'm an ambulance technician for West Midlands Ambulance Service.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31And have you ever had any interesting callouts?
0:04:31 > 0:04:36- From time to time I get called up to do something a bit more extraordinary.- Like what?
0:04:36 > 0:04:42- I've boiled an egg for somebody and I've turned TVs off.- You ARE joking!
0:04:42 > 0:04:46- No, no.- Do you not get cross as an ambulance man being called out to boil somebody's egg?
0:04:46 > 0:04:50You calm down a bit when you realise they can't get out of their armchair.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54- Ah, yeah.- Their carers haven't turned up and they get a bit cross themselves.- Yes, exactly.
0:04:54 > 0:04:59- I mean, there are all those excuses, of course. And you're a bit of a grease monkey?- A little bit, yes.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03- You ride a motorbicycle yourself? - I do, yes. I ride a Harley-Davidson.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06- And what's that called? - Erm, it's actually called a Fat Boy. - Oh, is it?- Yes.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10So, will you be buying "automobilia" today on Bargain Hunt, if you can find it?
0:05:10 > 0:05:13If I see something that takes my fancy, I might do.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16What sort of things are going to rev your engines then, Tex?
0:05:16 > 0:05:20- Well, I like ceramics. I'll be keeping my eye out for a nice piece of ceramic.- OK, fine.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Well, this is teamwork. I can see this building already.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- Now, the money moment. Here's your £300.- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30You know the rules, your experts await. And off you go!
0:05:30 > 0:05:34And very, very good luck. Jolly nice red hats!
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Let's meet today's experts.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41And another one with his hat on, it's Thomas Plant for the Reds.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Hoping to ring up a profit for the Blues, it's Christina Trevanion.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48The hats are off and the Reds mean business.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Now, what's on today's shopping list?
0:05:50 > 0:05:52What are we going to be buying today?
0:05:52 > 0:05:54- Something quirky, I think.- Quirky.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Something that, sort of denotes our red hat quirkiness.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Christina has gone over to the dark side.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04I feel like I'm with a couple of super villains. Tex and Ren!
0:06:04 > 0:06:05THEY LAUGH
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- Something which reflects, you know, the red hat ladies.- Yes.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10What's our plan?
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- Buy cheap, sell expensive. - Buy cheap, sell expensive. OK.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16OK, teams, hop it. Let's start the clock.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- WHISTLE - Ribbit.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- Let's go, come on. - THEY LAUGH
0:06:21 > 0:06:22Let's go.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25It is your show.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27Your chance to shine
0:06:27 > 0:06:31- Yeah.- And I'd like to see your fresh eyes on stuff.- Oh, dear.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35- My grandad used to make a lot of pottery.- Make it?- Yes.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- Oh, fantastic.- So I've got a bit of a love, soft spot for pottery.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- OK, all right, so if we look for some pottery.- Yes.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42And I'm thinking something medical.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- See what we find.- Yeah?- Yeah. - Let's see what we can find.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Right, let's have a really good look around.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51The girls are already causing Tom some problems.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- Where are you going? - Can't see something...
0:06:53 > 0:06:58- I leave you for five minutes... - Sorry, you said it was our show... - Yes, there you are, but...
0:06:58 > 0:07:01..see everything, go round everything.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Tex knows what he likes.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- There's a vase on this table that's caught my eye.- This one here?
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Oh, that is rather beautiful, isn't it? It's quite a late one.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Originally it would've been made in a pair,
0:07:11 > 0:07:15this wonderful baluster shape and really impressive, beautiful, sizeable pieces.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18But I think without its pair, and quite late...
0:07:18 > 0:07:21It's a very reasonable price, £65,
0:07:21 > 0:07:23if we can get that down slightly that would be great,
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- but it's a nice decorator's piece. - Sure.- OK?
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- What would your best price be on this? DEALER:- I'll do it at 50.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- 50?- I still think that is quite top end for me.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36- We'll leave that for now and we can come back... - I think it's a beautiful thing...
0:07:36 > 0:07:38And it's blue, people like blue.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41They do like blue, absolutely. Great colours, yes.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45- We'll come back to this if we need to later.- Yes, great.- Righto then.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48But while one door closes for the Blues,
0:07:48 > 0:07:50another door opens for the Reds.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53That's lovely.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55The letter rack, yes? OK.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- It's not quirky, but it's a bit of wood.- Yes.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- Why don't you pull out the draw at the bottom.- Yes, OK.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03This is when you get to see the real quality.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Got to look at those dovetails here. Look at that craftsmanship, yes?
0:08:06 > 0:08:10How old do you think it is? There's something on the top,
0:08:10 > 0:08:12it's a bit of a clue,
0:08:12 > 0:08:14to see how old it is.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15Actually in there.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17In your own time, girls.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Do you mean on the front there?
0:08:19 > 0:08:22On the front, there's maybe numbers which tell you how old it is.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24- 1897.- 1897.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25THEY LAUGH
0:08:25 > 0:08:26There you go.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28- Do you know what happened in 1897?- No.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30I wasn't around.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Well, I wasn't insinuating you were around!
0:08:32 > 0:08:34- Go on, then.- Diamond Jubilee.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36The Jubilee in June 1897
0:08:36 > 0:08:39commemorated Queen Victoria's 60th year on the throne.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41How much is it?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43- DEALER:- Well, absolute death, 150.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Are you sure that's the absolute?
0:08:46 > 0:08:47130.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49But that is it.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51- That is it, is it?- That is it.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53- ANN:- Even for poor pensioners out for a good time?
0:08:53 > 0:08:57Well, I think, you girls go and have a chat, go and have a chat
0:08:57 > 0:09:00and I'm going to have a look, no, with the man, with the man...
0:09:00 > 0:09:03That's it, Thomas. Keep those Reds in order.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07- ANN: Would you take 125? - No, honestly.- You really wouldn't? - Yes, truthfully.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09- It's made for us, really. - Yes, I think so.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11They certainly seem to like it. What do you think, Tom?
0:09:11 > 0:09:15The quality is second to none. I've not seen a better one.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17- I think we'll go for that. - Yes, we well.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19The dovetail and the quality, thank you.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- You have yourselves... - Got a deal, have we?
0:09:21 > 0:09:23- ANN:- You have indeed, thank you so much.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27- I wish you all the best with it. - Thank you. - I think you'll do well with that.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31Well, £130, let's hope the deal is right on that one.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Well done, Reds. Now, how are those Blues getting on?
0:09:34 > 0:09:38So, we've got here a wonderful stork or crane.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41So, that's fantastic, isn't it? Great colours.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44OK, so he's been made in what we call slip mould,
0:09:44 > 0:09:46so he's been made in a mould like that, OK?
0:09:46 > 0:09:48So we've got this wonderful body here
0:09:48 > 0:09:52and then he would've been glazed with these wonderful drizzle glazes and things.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55As long as there's no breaks on the beak. TAPPING
0:09:55 > 0:09:58So I'm just checking for some restoration...on the beak there
0:09:58 > 0:10:00but he looks in excellent condition. Really does.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04That would look quite nice sat on a mantelpiece, or by a fireplace.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Yeah, I mean, it's a piece of studio pottery. The price looks to be quite reasonable.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10The only thing that would put me off slightly is the colour.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Maybe it's a little bit drab but we can't change that,
0:10:13 > 0:10:15unless you want to get your paintbrush out.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- I think it's quite eye-catching. - Yeah?
0:10:18 > 0:10:21I mean, it's quite sort of 60s-70s feel to it, in a way.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24It's a focal point. It would certainly get people talking.
0:10:24 > 0:10:29- Ren, what's your thoughts about our stork?- I actually like the colour.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- I know that would go very good next to my fireplace.- Oh, would it? - It would, yeah.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- Oh. OK. Right. Shall we ask the price?- Yes, sure.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- Go on, then, Tex. Go for it. - OK.- 15 on that for you.- £15.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40What do you think of that, Christine?
0:10:40 > 0:10:43I would say, he's got some very interesting things on his stall,
0:10:43 > 0:10:45so maybe before we settle on one thing,
0:10:45 > 0:10:47let's have look at the rest of the stall first.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- I know you're very keen and eager. - I want to take him home!- I know.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Cradle him with you!
0:10:52 > 0:10:54I think Tex is hoping for a special delivery with
0:10:54 > 0:10:58that stork. Let's see if the Reds have any new arrivals.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02- You're ten minutes in, teams.- I like it because of the Dragon.- Yes.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- The scales, the workmanship on it and it's raised.- Yes.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08My estimate at auction would be £40-60.
0:11:08 > 0:11:09- Well, let's think about it, then. - Yes.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- I mean, I think it's a very nice... - It is a nice...yes.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Don't get me wrong.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18The Blues have found another item with a £25 ticket price.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22What d'you think about the little antelope there? Or deer?
0:11:22 > 0:11:26- Is that floating your boat as much? - Not as much as the stork.- This is...
0:11:26 > 0:11:28It's such a great colour, isn't it?
0:11:28 > 0:11:31This wonderful sort of greenie, rich jade, malachi colour. Yeah.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Very Art Deco, that sort of stylised figure there.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37- It's really rather beautiful.- Almost Celtic.- Yeah, it is, exactly, yeah.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- What do you think?- It's nice.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- Not as much as the stork? - I do like that one better.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47- Stork or...stork or deer? Stork or deer? What do we think?- Deer.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51Dear, oh, dear! Looks like the Blues can't agree.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- We were going to give him the piece of pottery, weren't we?- Yeah.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58I think if you can get it for sort of £10 or £12,
0:11:58 > 0:12:02- ie, it's less of a risk...- OK. - OK?- I shall try my best.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Go on, Tex. Go on!
0:12:04 > 0:12:06- Is he good at dealing?- Yeah.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10- Would you be able to go any lower on the stork? Yes.- £12?
0:12:10 > 0:12:13I think I paid about £12 for it.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- Go on!- What did I quote you before?
0:12:16 > 0:12:18- Ten.- Fif...- Ten!
0:12:18 > 0:12:19SHE LAUGHS
0:12:19 > 0:12:2315 before. Three pounds. Please!
0:12:23 > 0:12:24- Go on, then.- Thank you.- £12.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29That's brilliant. Yay! First one down. Well done, team.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32At last. Let's hope it takes flight at auction, lads.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37So, guys. We've had 16 of our 60 minutes, a quarter of our time gone.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39We've got one thing, which is fantastic
0:12:39 > 0:12:42but I would quite like to get something for Ren now.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46- It's only fair.- He's been quite quiet so far, hasn't it?- Yes. He's not normally this shy and retiring.
0:12:46 > 0:12:51- Is he not?- No.- Tell you what. Why don't we go through to this hall, and see what's through here?- OK.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53While they find something nice for Ren, Thomas
0:12:53 > 0:12:55and the girls are working up quite a thirst.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- Oh, you'd like that.- We don't drink beer, though.- We're not German.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04- Why not?- We drink wine. It's a bit big for a glass of wine.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05- Do you think?- Well, I don't know.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08You'd have a good time if you drank all of that in wine.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12This is what we call a tankard. Tankards have lids, mugs don't.
0:13:12 > 0:13:13It's got a porcelain top of a, you know,
0:13:13 > 0:13:18a rather elegant-looking gentleman there with flowers in his hair and
0:13:18 > 0:13:22a glass of red and...a bit like a member of one of your team, really.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26- Absolutely.- I adore red wine. - You enjoy red wine, naturally.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29So this is flashed glass, made in Bohemia,
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- or Germany - in probably Bohemia. - So it's German.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35It's quite a good fun thing. Now, I would work at this price.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- Yeah, yeah.- It's a lot of money to begin with.- Yes.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41And I think you need to talk to the lady to see what you can do. Have a word.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45- I will certainly have a word.- I could go down to 70 and that would be it.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47That's it. You see, it's not profitable at £70.
0:13:47 > 0:13:52- No, not profitable at 70. If it was 40, yes.- Yes.
0:13:52 > 0:13:58- It's worth buying at 40. But not at...not at...- No. Fine.- Thank you.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02You've got to be...you've got to be tough, ladies, and you've got to...I like your bangle, madam.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04- Oh, thank you.- Could we buy that?
0:14:04 > 0:14:06- It's not for sale, not for sale. - That's a shame,
0:14:06 > 0:14:07we want to buy the bangle.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09No bangle and no tankard for the Reds.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10Come on, teams -
0:14:10 > 0:14:12you've still got two items to go.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14We're looking for something medical, aren't we?
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- Maybe something medical, yeah. - Cos you're our ambulance men.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- I've just seen something medical. - You've seen something medical?
0:14:23 > 0:14:24Oh, what's that?
0:14:24 > 0:14:25Here's one.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Shall we see if there's any reflexes?
0:14:27 > 0:14:31- At this time of the day? - Probably not.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34What have you seen, Thomas?
0:14:34 > 0:14:35This is quite good a good-looking trunk.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37What you think of that?
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- Yeah.- It's nice, lovely slight dome to the top.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43I like the decoration. Are you just going to lift it up?
0:14:43 > 0:14:46You got brass handles, you've got a slip-in drawer.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47What's the price on the trunk?
0:14:49 > 0:14:50130?
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- £100, I think we'd go for it. - 110 and you've got a deal.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56What I like about it is it's got that...
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- Can we just have a look at the base? I'd quite like to...- Yes, of course.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01- Let me move out of the way. - Look at that.
0:15:01 > 0:15:06Look at these old rollers here, these hidden rollers.
0:15:06 > 0:15:07That's nice.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11- SELLER: This looks like a ship's piece.- It's got a real look to it.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13It's almost a campaign look -
0:15:13 > 0:15:18military expeditions as well, biological, scientific.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21- What do you think?- It's a nice piece of furniture.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22I quite like the shape.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25I would say it's a stained beech and inside...
0:15:25 > 0:15:28- SELLER: I think it's walnut. - It's walnut, yeah.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29And what's this here?
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Like a pine, a pine inlay. I love these handles.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33This is Victorian.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Quite a good thing, good quality.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39- A beautiful piece.- Good quality, unusual.- Yeah.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41That's got a chance of making money
0:15:41 > 0:15:45- and you've got a lot there for your money.- Right, yes.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48I think you could do worse than that.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Right. What was your best price again?
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- Best price is £100.- 100? Done.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55- £100.- That is to you.- Done.- OK.
0:15:55 > 0:15:56- SUE: Done for the Red Hat ladies. - Thank you.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Another big bit of furniture - now, can we look for something pretty?
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Yes.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05Thomas is certainly taken by the big old trunk.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Well done, Red Hatters - that's your second item.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09How do you feel, team?
0:16:09 > 0:16:14Having seen those two items,
0:16:14 > 0:16:15we just had to have them.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18There's been a little cajoling from me, I have to say...
0:16:18 > 0:16:20maybe pointing...
0:16:20 > 0:16:22which is good
0:16:22 > 0:16:25but also bad because I think they want to buy something pretty
0:16:25 > 0:16:27and we both bought two masculine items.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31While they're looking for a winner at the fair, let me show you
0:16:31 > 0:16:34something that's always a big hit in the auction room -
0:16:34 > 0:16:35a gavel.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39It's the symbol of all auctioneers.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42This particular example is most beautifully made,
0:16:42 > 0:16:45it's made of a hardwood.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46It's not ebony
0:16:46 > 0:16:49but it's got a reddish tinge
0:16:49 > 0:16:55and I think it's probably a Chinese hardwood called zitan.
0:16:55 > 0:17:00There's one very unusual feature about this particular gavel
0:17:00 > 0:17:03and you have to look carefully on the end.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Look at that - what is stamped in to the wood?
0:17:06 > 0:17:09It is a miniature crown.
0:17:09 > 0:17:15Which gavel makers are there who stamp gavels with crowns like this?
0:17:15 > 0:17:18I know of none...
0:17:18 > 0:17:22but I do know this mark as being associated
0:17:22 > 0:17:28with a particularly fine chesspiece manufacturer called Staunton's.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31They made chesspieces in the 19th century
0:17:31 > 0:17:35of exceptional quality in boxwood and ebony and ivory
0:17:35 > 0:17:39and I reckon this is quite a rarity.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43Now, the dealer here in Stafford who showed me this piece
0:17:43 > 0:17:47also said in the same lot, he bought this object.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51I can tell you this has nothing to do with auctioneering -
0:17:51 > 0:17:53although there is a similarity
0:17:53 > 0:17:57because we've got, again, a high-quality turned handle
0:17:57 > 0:18:00but it then extends into a silver column
0:18:00 > 0:18:04with a terminal in the form of a crown.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06It's called a tipstaff.
0:18:06 > 0:18:11It's an object which you would hold in an official capacity,
0:18:11 > 0:18:14perhaps as part of an ancient city livery company
0:18:14 > 0:18:16or as an alderman in a council -
0:18:16 > 0:18:20whoever it is, would hold the little tipstaff like that
0:18:20 > 0:18:24and all the people in the meeting or the public parade
0:18:24 > 0:18:27would know that this is a person with some status.
0:18:27 > 0:18:32Which particular office is this tipstaff associated with?
0:18:32 > 0:18:33I haven't got the faintest idea.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36You'd need to do a certain amount of research
0:18:36 > 0:18:40which is, after all, part of the fun of this game.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44What I can tell you is, though, you have to make a snappy decision.
0:18:44 > 0:18:49Are you going to invest £150 in these two objects?
0:18:49 > 0:18:52If the gavel is Staunton,
0:18:52 > 0:18:56then it's certainly going to be of interest to a whole tribe of folk
0:18:56 > 0:18:58in the chesspiece collecting community
0:18:58 > 0:19:04and this thing could be worth anywhere between £150-£250.
0:19:04 > 0:19:05The tipstaff?
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Well, that's just in it for the bunce.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Now, how are the teams getting on with the shop?
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Have the Blues found something to get Ren's heart racing yet?
0:19:15 > 0:19:17- Oh, yeah, look at that.- Yeah.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19A first-aid box.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22- Look at that, that's very appropriate.- Yeah.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Do you ever get these in the ambulance?
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Ours tend to be a little bit bigger and made of plastic.
0:19:26 > 0:19:27- Oh, do they?- Yeah.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30That's quite fun though, isn't it? I mean, how appropriate for you
0:19:30 > 0:19:32to have a look at that. It's got First Aid on the top
0:19:32 > 0:19:33and then we've got here,
0:19:33 > 0:19:38"Manufacturing chemist, Nottingham," so a nice British piece,
0:19:38 > 0:19:40obviously red interior there
0:19:40 > 0:19:42so you've got all your different compartments...
0:19:42 > 0:19:45- Still functional.- Still functional and it's a nice vintage piece.- Yeah.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47If you can get that for not very much,
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- I think that's very appropriate for you.- Thank you.
0:19:50 > 0:19:51- What do you think, Tex?- Go for it.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- I love it.- Yeah?- It's straight up his street so...
0:19:54 > 0:19:55It is, exactly.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58You probably wouldn't use it these days on the ambulance though.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01No, not on an ambulance, no. Definitely a home thing.
0:20:01 > 0:20:02- Five or ten pounds...- Yeah.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05- I don't think you can go wrong.- OK. - All right?- Yeah.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Ooh, wish him luck.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08Hiya, mate. I spotted this,
0:20:08 > 0:20:10what's the best price you could do on that for me?
0:20:10 > 0:20:14The very, very... I'll kill you for it, is 15.
0:20:14 > 0:20:19£15. Well, I think as a novelty thing, it's not bad at £15.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21I don't think we're going to make a huge amount of profit on it
0:20:21 > 0:20:24if we make any profit at all, to be honest.
0:20:24 > 0:20:25- What about 12?- Go on, 12.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- £12, guys.- Anything for the pretty face.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29Steady.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31- TEX: Oh, thank you! - What do we think, guys?
0:20:31 > 0:20:32- Ren's choice.- It's Ren's choice.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35- £12.- Are you happy, Ren? - I'm happy with that, yeah.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- Sure?- Yeah, definitely.- Let's shake the man's hand. Fantastic.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40- Whoop, there you go.- Thank you.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43An early first-aid tin for our Blue boys.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Let's hope it's not a quick fix.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Are we thinking that we might spend a bit more now
0:20:47 > 0:20:49cos we haven't spent a lot yet really, have we?
0:20:49 > 0:20:51- No, we've been quite conservative so far.- You have been
0:20:51 > 0:20:54quite conservative. I suppose we're sticking to the plan, aren't we?
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- Yeah.- I should like this because it leaves me quite a lot of money
0:20:57 > 0:21:00- at the end but I feel like we need to spend a bit more money, guys.- Oh.
0:21:00 > 0:21:01Come on, come on.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04While the Blues refuse to splash the cash,
0:21:04 > 0:21:07the Reds are having quite the opposite problem.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09- This is by Royal Worcester.- Yes.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Royal Worcester, a premier factory.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13I love the orange,
0:21:13 > 0:21:17the burnt orange against the dripping fire of the gold.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19- What's your very best on that? - SELLER: 100.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22£100, £100.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24- We haven't got that much, have we? - I don't think we've got that much,
0:21:24 > 0:21:27- have we?- No.- No. I'm afraid we've spent our money,
0:21:27 > 0:21:28we haven't got that much left.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30MUSIC: Big Spender by Shirley Bassey
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Those Reds are going to blow their entire budget
0:21:32 > 0:21:33if they carry on like this.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Meanwhile, the thrifty Blues are still not impressing Christina
0:21:36 > 0:21:38with their frugal choices.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42- They look very modern, I think we'll leave those there.- OK.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43That told them.
0:21:43 > 0:21:44How do you think it's going, boys?
0:21:44 > 0:21:46It's going very well. We've made some good decisions,
0:21:46 > 0:21:49got some good purchases, we're happy so...
0:21:49 > 0:21:50We're sticking to the plan, buying cheap.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52It's quite exciting.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54No, really decisive,
0:21:54 > 0:21:56we haven't spent a lot of money at all
0:21:56 > 0:21:58so I think we probably want to start thinking about
0:21:58 > 0:22:01spending a little bit of money - I mean, we've only got one thing left
0:22:01 > 0:22:04and when you get the chance to come out with so much money
0:22:04 > 0:22:05to an antiques fair.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07I'd like them to spend a bit of money if we can.
0:22:07 > 0:22:08Good luck with that, Christina.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Now, there's 20 minutes left of the shop.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Have the Reds found a third item?
0:22:12 > 0:22:14I like this Crown Devon set here...
0:22:14 > 0:22:16and what do you think this is for?
0:22:16 > 0:22:17- Coffee.- Coffee.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Coffee. Date?
0:22:20 > 0:22:23I would think it's got to be turn-of-the-century, just after.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25- Yeah, 1920, 1925.- '20s, yeah.
0:22:25 > 0:22:26It's about that sort of date.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30It's by Royal Crown Devon, Staffordshire, yeah?
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- Good factory.- A great factory.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37It's got these applied jewels of enamel to the powder blue
0:22:37 > 0:22:41with the flowers and the lovely bird decoration
0:22:41 > 0:22:45against that powder blue which is very attractive.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47SELLER: I've got £95 on that.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Without any argument, £75 for that.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54- We haven't got 75.- No, sorry. - 65 and you've got a deal.
0:22:54 > 0:22:59SELLER: We can't do 65. It actually is too near my own price.
0:22:59 > 0:23:0168?
0:23:01 > 0:23:03- Go on, then, 68.- 68.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05- Thank you.- You're going to go with that?
0:23:05 > 0:23:07- OK, ta, yes.- I think we'll go with that.
0:23:07 > 0:23:08Hooray -
0:23:08 > 0:23:11that's a third purchase for our red hat ladies.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Big spenders, those girls.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15MUSIC CONTINUES
0:23:15 > 0:23:16# Hey, big spender
0:23:16 > 0:23:22# Spend a little time with me... #
0:23:22 > 0:23:26With one item to go and less than 15 minutes on the clock,
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Christina's determined to buy big for the Blues.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32- These are quite interesting, guys. - Very kitsch.- Very, very cool.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36- Very in trend.- ..kitchen. They are very in vogue right now,
0:23:36 > 0:23:38they really are. Fantastic.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42These are 1950s... 1940s-1950s kitchen cabinets
0:23:42 > 0:23:46so this would have been the equivalent of a fitted kitchen, OK?
0:23:46 > 0:23:48- They look very familiar.- Really? Did you have any at home?
0:23:48 > 0:23:50No, but I've been to many houses that have had them.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54It's also got a brand name there as well so it's great to have that
0:23:54 > 0:23:58especially with online bidding to get people attracted to it.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01It just goes on and on and on - look at all the storage.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Christina sees herself as quite the domestic goddess.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07..a housewife in the 1950s, I mean this would have been...
0:24:07 > 0:24:09- That would have been like the TARDIS for her.- Exactly.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11- Shall we can ask a price on it? - Yeah.- Yeah, sure.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- OK, you stand by it, don't let anyone else look at it...- Guard it.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15..and I'll go and ask a price, OK?
0:24:15 > 0:24:18- Yeah, guard it, hide it, hide it. - Quickly, quickly.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21And they're certainly the right lads for the job.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22- CHRISTINA:- Oh, hello, Red Team.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25- How are the Blues doing?- Brilliant.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27We're home, hosed, bathed and ready.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30I don't think I like the idea of Thomas in the bath.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32I think being as though they finished first,
0:24:32 > 0:24:34- they should buy the tea.- I think that's a very good idea!
0:24:34 > 0:24:36I don't think so, no...
0:24:36 > 0:24:39- Good luck.- And you.- We'll see you for a cup of tea.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43- Yes. Sorry to crash your party. - No, don't worry, any time.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45The red team's all finished.
0:24:45 > 0:24:46Now, how about that price, Christina?
0:24:46 > 0:24:50- No-one else has bought it in the meantime, have they?- No, no. - We scared them off.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52I think he was asking 120-something,
0:24:52 > 0:24:55he says he'll take 115 - he drives a very, very hard bargain.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58I think it stands... I think it could make you a profit at auction.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00I think they're very in vogue right now.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02How much do you think it's looking at at auction?
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Well, I sold a not very nice one
0:25:04 > 0:25:07at an auction a few weeks ago for £90.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09I think we should risk it.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12- We'll give it a risk.- You wanted to spend big...- Risk it for a biscuit.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15- Yeah.- I think it's quite cool, I think you guys are quite cool.
0:25:15 > 0:25:16- Yeah.- Spend big - it's big.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19- Yes, let's do it.- £115, that is our third and final item.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- Well done.- I'm breaking out into a sweat - £115.
0:25:22 > 0:25:23Checkmate -
0:25:23 > 0:25:24time's up.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27- I think we should go for cup of tea. - I think you're absolutely right.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29- Come on, let's go for a cup of tea. - Definitely.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Yeah, get the kettle on -
0:25:31 > 0:25:32I'm feeling a bit parched myself.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Let's check out what the Reds bought.
0:25:35 > 0:25:40They opened with a Victorian oak stationery compendium for £130,
0:25:40 > 0:25:45They packed £100 in to this campaign trunk
0:25:45 > 0:25:50and they poured away £68 on an exotic bird coffee set.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Hats off to the gals -
0:25:52 > 0:25:54whoops, I mean hats on again.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56'Ha - will they make up their minds?'
0:25:56 > 0:25:57Sue, Anne,
0:25:57 > 0:25:59the plan didn't work out exactly, did it?
0:25:59 > 0:26:02- No, not quite.- No, but you had a good time though?
0:26:02 > 0:26:05- We had a wonderful time.- Susan, what is your favourite piece?
0:26:05 > 0:26:08- The coffee set.- Is it? Oh, good. What about you, Annie?
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Absolutely unanimous,
0:26:10 > 0:26:11the coffee set is absolutely lovely.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Right, is the coffee set going to bring the biggest profit?
0:26:14 > 0:26:16- No, I don't think so. - What will, then?
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- I think the stationery box... - And I think the chest.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22There we go, we have a split prediction there
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- and you spent up magnificently, I know.- We did.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28- Remind me how much again. - We spent £298.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32You are quite magnificent, you girls. £298 is the right answer.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35- Can I have two pounds, please? - You may.- Two pounds only.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Now, Thomas Plant loves a challenge.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40What are you going to do, Tom? Come on.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Do you know, it is impossible. It is such a challenge
0:26:43 > 0:26:45- but I'm up for it...- Good.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49- ..I've no idea what you're going to end up with.- £100, I hope!
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- I hope so, I really... That would be marvellous.- Wouldn't it?
0:26:52 > 0:26:56Well, it's the ultimate challenge, Tom, and I know no better man
0:26:56 > 0:26:59to pick up the baton. Well done, Thomas.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue Team bought, eh?
0:27:03 > 0:27:08They flew off with a bargain pottery stork for £12,
0:27:08 > 0:27:14and early first-aid tin came to the rescue, also at £12,
0:27:14 > 0:27:19and they fitted in a 1950s kitchen cabinet for £115.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21OK, Ren, Tex -
0:27:21 > 0:27:23sounds like a type of paint, doesn't it?
0:27:23 > 0:27:25- Did you have fun?- Yes.- Yes, it was great fun, Tim.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29Very entertaining shopping. So, Ren, which is your favourite piece?
0:27:29 > 0:27:33I'm torn between my first-aid box and Tex's stork.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37I think I'm leaning towards liking Tex's stork quite well.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38And what about you, Tex?
0:27:38 > 0:27:42Mine was my stork. It leapt out at me, I fell in love with it instantly.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45OK. Is he going to bring the biggest profit, your stork?
0:27:45 > 0:27:46- Probably not.- No?
0:27:46 > 0:27:49- It's more sentimental than anything. - All right, fair enough,
0:27:49 > 0:27:51so what is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:27:51 > 0:27:54- The kitchen units that Christina picked for us.- Yeah?
0:27:54 > 0:27:56- You'll hate it.- Trust your expert.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59- How much did you spend, chaps? - £139.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03£139 - so that's one off 40 so that would be £161, please.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06- Yes.- 161 -
0:28:06 > 0:28:08- it's quite a heap of money, this, isn't it?- There's 160...
0:28:08 > 0:28:10- 160, one to come...- ..and the one.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12- ..there we go.- Why, thank you.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Now, Christina, my darling, what have you got in mind?
0:28:15 > 0:28:17It's all been very masculine and very male
0:28:17 > 0:28:19so I think it might have to be some jewellery.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21TEX GASPS
0:28:21 > 0:28:25- Look, I've got so much money to spend.- You have.- Spend wisely.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28- OK, will do.- I can see you're itching to go.- Seriously.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Well, whatever you do, you're going to have to go smartly because we,
0:28:31 > 0:28:35right now, are getting ready to shuffle off to the auction.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47Well, I can't tell you how excited I am to be in Lichfield.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49Gosh, it is a lovely place, isn't it, Richard?
0:28:49 > 0:28:50It's fab and I'm excited to have you.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52Well, very pleased we are
0:28:52 > 0:28:55to be at Richard Winterton Auctioneers of Lichfield
0:28:55 > 0:28:58and for the Reds, they've got a selection.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01First up is the oak stationery compendium.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04- Quite grand, that, isn't it? - I have seen grander.
0:29:04 > 0:29:08- Oh. How much?- £50-£80.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11- Not grand enough.- Isn't it? - No, £130.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13- HE GASPS - It's a difficult thing to value,
0:29:13 > 0:29:16I think, cos I'm not sure who buys these stationery cabinets any more.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19There is a market for them but they are looking for the better model
0:29:19 > 0:29:24and a bit more going on. That's a bit straight and a bit, you know...
0:29:24 > 0:29:26Lovely. Well, you know about these things, lovely.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29Stand by for a bit of a loss on that. Now, what about this trunk?
0:29:29 > 0:29:32- That's a fantastic trunk, isn't it? - Ah, fabulous. Yeah, great.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35- Great example, I should think it is American.- Probably American, yeah.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38I was going to say, I think it's American. Yes, it's lovely,
0:29:38 > 0:29:41beautifully built, it's got that look about it.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44- It's a lovely thing, Tim, I think it's great.- Yeah,
0:29:44 > 0:29:49- anyway, that's super. What's it worth?- We've got 120-130.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51- That is a very good estimate, £100 these guys paid for it.- Yeah.
0:29:51 > 0:29:56The potential for profit in that and the downside in this
0:29:56 > 0:30:00- are equally balanced so they may finish up as squits.- Yeah.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Their last item is the coffee set...
0:30:02 > 0:30:07- OK.- ..which looks a bit to me slightly old hat.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10It's trying to be Carlton, it's not as good as Carlton
0:30:10 > 0:30:13therefore, what's it going to do?
0:30:13 > 0:30:15I like this sort of thing, I think it's got a lovely blue.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17I see exactly where you're coming from,
0:30:17 > 0:30:20the market for this has definitely slowed
0:30:20 > 0:30:23- but it's still got a real nice, crisp blue...- Yeah.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27- ..with all the gilding going on... - Might it make £68?- It could do.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29We've got 40-60, it could well get there, couldn't it?
0:30:29 > 0:30:32OK, they might wipe its face. OK, fine. Overall, then,
0:30:32 > 0:30:35I fancy they're not going to be too much up or too much down -
0:30:35 > 0:30:37whether they need the bonus buy or not, I don't know
0:30:37 > 0:30:40but let's see it anyway.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43Now, girls, this is exciting, isn't it?
0:30:43 > 0:30:48You spent £298, you gave your poor expert Thomas £2 only.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50Thomas, what did you spend it on?
0:30:50 > 0:30:51Well, I love a challenge.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53You didn't spend it all, did you?
0:30:55 > 0:30:56Anne.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59Here we are, girls. So, I bought a pair of...
0:30:59 > 0:31:01THEY LAUGH
0:31:01 > 0:31:03..wait for it, don't laugh.
0:31:03 > 0:31:0819th-century, old, Sheffield plate trencher salts...
0:31:08 > 0:31:14- Oh.- Fantastic.- ..for your table with Bristol blue glass liners.
0:31:14 > 0:31:19They are simply wonderful. For your rock salt in here
0:31:19 > 0:31:23or your Maldon salt on your dining-room table and
0:31:23 > 0:31:26- (for £2.)- I can't believe it. - Thank you.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28OK, you Red Hatters, what do you think about them?
0:31:28 > 0:31:29- Fantastic.- They're lovely.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31OK, girls, so, there's it, then.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34You've got it? £1 each for these, unbelievable.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36- Ask him how much they're going to bring.- Yeah,
0:31:36 > 0:31:37how much do you think they'll make?
0:31:37 > 0:31:42- Well, they might make £5. They might...- Each?- Yes, each.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44- Each.- Yeah, they might make £10 for the pair.
0:31:44 > 0:31:48I think with that price, we've really got to think about these.
0:31:48 > 0:31:49Do you think they might make £30, Tom?
0:31:49 > 0:31:52- If they make £30, I'll be dancing a jig.- Will you?
0:31:52 > 0:31:55- Do you promise?- I do.- Yeah, right. Fantastic.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57OK. You don't pick now, you pick later. Right now,
0:31:57 > 0:32:00let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Tom's trencher salts.
0:32:02 > 0:32:03Well, poor old Thomas only had £2
0:32:03 > 0:32:06and he went out and bought these two condiments.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09- Oh, I'm so pleased you said that. - What?- To find out...
0:32:09 > 0:32:11- He's done well to find them for £2, hasn't he?- Well, hasn't he?
0:32:11 > 0:32:14It's got Bristol blue liners in - look, perfect.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17Which could easily end up in a far better...
0:32:17 > 0:32:20- Boat?- Of course it could, than what there is there
0:32:20 > 0:32:23- so those are worth the £2 on their own.- Of course they are.
0:32:23 > 0:32:24Perfect, what's your estimate?
0:32:24 > 0:32:26- We've gone 10-15.- Have you really?
0:32:26 > 0:32:29Well, he's done very well with those. That's super.
0:32:29 > 0:32:30- Yeah.- That's those two done
0:32:30 > 0:32:33and whether the team go for it or not's another matter.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Now, for the Blues.
0:32:35 > 0:32:39We have got for Tex and Ren, the crane.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41- RICHARD LAUGHS - It looks to me
0:32:41 > 0:32:44a bit like that, what's it called, that German stuff, lava...
0:32:44 > 0:32:48- I think you are dead...- lava ware, isn't it?- Yes.- How much?
0:32:48 > 0:32:50- 10 to 15.- OK, £12 paid.- Yeah.
0:32:50 > 0:32:55I mean, that Brown lava-type, glutinous glaze
0:32:55 > 0:32:58is not everybody's cup of tea but there are collectors, right?
0:32:58 > 0:33:00- There's not many of them.- OK, fine.
0:33:00 > 0:33:05Next is the Boots tin which is for the first aid.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Every business needs a first-aid tin.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09- Do you like him?- 10 to 15 for me.
0:33:09 > 0:33:10Is it? £12 paid.
0:33:10 > 0:33:14- That's OK.- There's a theme going here.- We're ahead here. There certainly is.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16Now you've got the Hygena kitchen cabinet
0:33:16 > 0:33:19which is so evocative of an era.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21- Yeah.- There it is, back there.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23- And it's fab, it's OK. - Isn't it good? Yeah.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27We have a lot come through, it's £30-50 all day long.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31People want deconstructed kitchen fittings, don't they?
0:33:31 > 0:33:34They don't want the fitted kitchen look any more,
0:33:34 > 0:33:35if you're going for that period thing.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38You know, that's in at the moment, that sort of thing.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40- Well, they paid £115. - HE GASPS
0:33:40 > 0:33:43- We've got the internet to help us. - We have, I mean, we'll need it.- OK.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46Well, if it lets us down, they can go with the bonus buy.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48Let's go and have a look at it.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52You spent £139, you gave Christina £161.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54Christina, what did you spend it on?
0:33:54 > 0:33:56I totally indulged myself, it's very selfish
0:33:56 > 0:34:01and I bought you a little bit of jewellery, I'm sorry to say.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Here we go.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05In this lovely little box, we've got
0:34:05 > 0:34:10an Art-Deco jade and sea-pearl nine carat white gold necklace, OK?
0:34:10 > 0:34:11What do you think?
0:34:11 > 0:34:14On first impressions, that's quite nice.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16- Oh, there we go. - SHE LAUGHS
0:34:16 > 0:34:19I thought that you might appreciate it, it's typically Art Deco.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22If you think of the Art Deco period, you've got that wonderful love
0:34:22 > 0:34:24of contrasting colours. They used a lot of coral and black
0:34:24 > 0:34:28and green and white and green and black so it's typical of the period
0:34:28 > 0:34:30but still very wearable today
0:34:30 > 0:34:33and very much a style that is very fashionable today.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36- Do you want to have a little look at it?- How much?
0:34:36 > 0:34:37- How much did we pay for it? - Oh, straight to it.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40- Oh, straight to the money.- Blimey, there we go, straight to the point.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43I was hoping to sell it a bit more to you first.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46Well, you left me with £161.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49I have change of a pound...
0:34:49 > 0:34:53- Ah.- ..so I spent £160 on it.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56- She's got to get into our ethics of spending low.- Yeah.- Yeah,
0:34:56 > 0:34:57but very, very popular
0:34:57 > 0:35:00and especially with the Chinese market being very buoyant,
0:35:00 > 0:35:02they do love jade and it's beautifully carved as well
0:35:02 > 0:35:05- so very wearable.- What sort of profit do you see in this?
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Well, I would hope as a nice piece of jewellery,
0:35:07 > 0:35:11I see it making at auction between £150-200.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13Good, and you spent 160 so there's the maths.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15Thank you very much, chaps. Thank you, Christina.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17For the viewers at home,
0:35:17 > 0:35:20let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about the necklace.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23Well, there you go. Christina had a tonne of money
0:35:23 > 0:35:27- and she fell in love with the jade pendant.- Ooh, OK.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30- Does it pluck your heartstrings? - Not a lot, I have to say.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32If you were taking a punt and you were being really strong,
0:35:32 > 0:35:35- what would you put on it?- £50-£80.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Well, Christina paid £160 so...
0:35:37 > 0:35:41She's gambling on the jade being red-hot at the moment
0:35:41 > 0:35:43in the market and in our auction world so...
0:35:43 > 0:35:46We'll find out in a minute. Thanks, Rich.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48Well, Richard's ready,
0:35:48 > 0:35:50the room's packed
0:35:50 > 0:35:51and the teams are poised.
0:35:53 > 0:35:57Gosh, you are colourful, you two, aren't you? Absolutely amazing.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01First up is the compendium and here it comes.
0:36:01 > 0:36:041489 - one, two, three bids on the book.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06- I can start at £60.- Hey. - £60 I'm bid...
0:36:06 > 0:36:09£60 I'm bid, £60 I'm bid...
0:36:09 > 0:36:11£70, at £80...
0:36:11 > 0:36:13At £80 with me, at £80...
0:36:13 > 0:36:14Room's out, £80 with me...
0:36:14 > 0:36:17- Uh-oh.- Uh-oh.- All done, I'm sold
0:36:17 > 0:36:18- at £80...- £50 loss.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20£80 is minus 50.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23- We'll make it up on the others. - We're going to have to.- Never mind.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25Now, cross your legs for the trunk.

0:41:29 > 0:41:32Very sweet, chaps. Anyway, there it is.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35There is a chasm between our teams today
0:41:35 > 0:41:39and I'm afraid, on the other side of the divide
0:41:39 > 0:41:42- are, today, the Blues.- Oh.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45Anyway, there you go, chaps - minus £104
0:41:45 > 0:41:48but we've had the most brilliant dynamic
0:41:48 > 0:41:52because before we got to the bonus buy moment
0:41:52 > 0:41:56on the leaderboard, the Blues were ahead.
0:41:56 > 0:42:02- Oh, no.- Yes, and if they hadn't gone with the bonus buy,
0:42:02 > 0:42:06- they might be winners today. - I'm really sorry.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10Don't feel too badly about it because the winning team
0:42:10 > 0:42:14managed to select the bonus buy that did make a profit,
0:42:14 > 0:42:17and had you not gone with the bonus buy, Tom's profit
0:42:17 > 0:42:21- would have put the Reds in the lead anyway.- Oh.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24Is that not a complicated double whammy?
0:42:24 > 0:42:27Has this scorpion not got a sting in its tail?
0:42:27 > 0:42:31Anyway, you lost today, Blues, by a substantial £104
0:42:31 > 0:42:33- but did you have a nice time? - Fantastic.- Really great.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36Well, thank you very much for joining us. It's been great.
0:42:36 > 0:42:40The victors today are the girls, who've only managed to fail to make
0:42:40 > 0:42:43£15 which is... Minus 15 is your overall total score
0:42:43 > 0:42:45- and you had a nice time? - Fantastic.- Wonderful, thank you.
