0:00:05 > 0:00:09In 1217, old 'enry III
0:00:09 > 0:00:13gave Brackley the right to hold a weekly market
0:00:13 > 0:00:15right here in the town square.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20And the bottom of the high street had to be especially widened
0:00:20 > 0:00:23to take the extra stalls and animals.
0:00:23 > 0:00:27So, roll up, roll up, by order of the king,
0:00:27 > 0:00:29let's go bargain hunting, yeah.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00We're at the largest antique centre in the Midlands.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03With 160 hungry dealers
0:01:03 > 0:01:06dying to do a deal with our thrifty Bargain Hunters.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10So, let's take a sneaky peek at what's coming up, shall we?
0:01:11 > 0:01:13The Reds have got their eyes on the prize.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15- Yes!- Yeah.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19And the Blues seem hard to please.
0:01:19 > 0:01:20That might be quite nice.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- It's a bit specialised. - What about you?- No.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26But it's all to play for at the auction.
0:01:26 > 0:01:27LAUGHTER
0:01:27 > 0:01:29THEY GASP
0:01:29 > 0:01:31- Oh!- Oh, this is good.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32Let's meet today's teams.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37On today's programme we have the dynamic duo,
0:01:37 > 0:01:38Norm and Andy.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42And for the Blues, the gorgeous girls, Leslie and Helen.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44- Hello, everyone. - ALL:- Hello.
0:01:44 > 0:01:50It's not often on Bargain Hunt that we have international sports stars
0:01:50 > 0:01:54of the highest calibre. Now, tell us about your sport.
0:01:54 > 0:01:59In the field of egg throwing, I am a tosser.
0:01:59 > 0:02:00Are you?
0:02:00 > 0:02:04And I am the current world champion for Russian Egg Roulette.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- And what would that make you, then?- I'm the catcher.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- You're the catcher?- But I'm also the world president
0:02:10 > 0:02:12of the World Egg Throwing Federation
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- and I organise international events across the globe.- Do you?
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Is this something that revolves around a sport
0:02:17 > 0:02:20that you might have invented in your local pub, by any chance?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- No, no, no.- No, OK.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26The history of egg throwing in Lincolnshire goes back to 1332.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- Does it?- It's even older than rugby and football.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- You seem to have cracked that one.- We have.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35How many members of the association are there across Britain?
0:02:35 > 0:02:37- Oh, hundreds if not thousands. - Really?
0:02:37 > 0:02:42We've now got members as far afield as Australia, New Zealand.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- OK, tell us about Russian Egg Roulette.- Right.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- You have six eggs, five are hard-boiled, one is raw.- Right.
0:02:48 > 0:02:53The object is to detect the life force of the raw egg.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57- Can't touch the eggs.- No, no.- So, hand over, can you feel the force?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- And I can choose the raw egg. - And avoid it.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Cos if you pick it, what's the penance?
0:03:04 > 0:03:07You have to evidence the egg by smashing it on your forehead.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Well, this is fascinating, this sport.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Your friendship, however, was not formed, was it,
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- in the egg department?- No. - You work together.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Yeah, we both work for Cambridgeshire Fire Rescue Service.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- So, we've known each other over 30 years.- Have you?
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Out of the frying pan, into the fire.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25How do you think you're going to do today?
0:03:25 > 0:03:27And we don't want anything being thrown, thank you.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30- We're going to do wonderfully. - Are you going to do well?
0:03:30 > 0:03:31Very, very, very good fun.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35- So, how long have you two girls known each other?- 35 years.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- Have you?- Yes. - You met in the kindergarten?
0:03:38 > 0:03:43- How I wish.- You wish.- And was it a good friendship at first sight?- No.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47No. I don't know if Leslie liked me but I wasn't too keen on her.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- Weren't you?- No, I thought she was a bit bossy.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52- But things have changed? - Oh, very much so.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Yes, yes, we do a lot together now.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58We go out for meals, we go on holiday together, yeah,
0:03:58 > 0:03:59we have a great time.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- And you keep yourself busy doing two jobs?- I do, I do.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05I work for a nursing agency three days a week,
0:04:05 > 0:04:07in the office as an administrator.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10And at the weekends I work with children with disabilities.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Well, you are a busy girl, then, aren't you?
0:04:13 > 0:04:16And Leslie, you're no stranger to the hard graft.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19No, I've worked in the electronics industry
0:04:19 > 0:04:23and I've run interior design companies alongside it and
0:04:23 > 0:04:27I now do jewellery design which I've been doing for quite a few years.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29And you've been successful at it cos all sorts of famous people
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- have worn your designs, haven't they?- They have.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35They've been on the red carpets, they've been at the Oscars.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- They all borrow them, they never buy them.- Oh, that's miserable.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40- It is.- What sort of things are you going to be going for?
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- I honestly don't know until I get out there.- Really?
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- Have you got any idea what you're going to go for?- Very simple.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- I'll rely on my expert. - Very beautifully said.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50Now, the money moment.
0:04:50 > 0:04:51£300 apiece.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54You know the rules, your experts await and off you go
0:04:54 > 0:04:56and very, very, very good luck.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Well, whatever's going to happen next?
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Let's meet today's experts.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Ready to do battle for the Reds, it's Anita Manning.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Hoping to churn out a profit for the Blues, it's Catherine Southon.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Anita's got her hands full with those lads.
0:05:15 > 0:05:22Guys, so you are the quintessential English eccentric gentleman.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24What about your girls, Catherine?
0:05:24 > 0:05:27So, Leslie, we're here in the centre, what are you looking for?
0:05:27 > 0:05:28You like a bit of jewellery, don't you?
0:05:28 > 0:05:32I love jewellery but I make it and I didn't bring my loop and
0:05:32 > 0:05:34I think I'd prefer looking for a little bit of silver.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35What do you want to buy?
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Well, he likes big and sassy, I mean brassy.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39SHE LAUGHS
0:05:39 > 0:05:40I like small and twee.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41Oh, right, OK.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43And what about you, Helen?
0:05:43 > 0:05:46I'm not too sure, Catherine, but I know what I don't want.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- And what's that?- China figurines. - China figurines.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Let's rock on and start the clock.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53So, let's go and find what we do want.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Come on, guys.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05The egg-throwing Reds seem to have an agenda.
0:06:05 > 0:06:10- The first thing we've spotted is these jugs.- Oh, right, yeah.
0:06:10 > 0:06:15Now, we think they're quite interesting in that
0:06:15 > 0:06:17we think they're collectable and they'll sell.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21John Prescott there, he's actually linked to our sport of egg throwing.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- He is a catcher.- Oh, right.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26He was actually nominated to be deputy world president
0:06:26 > 0:06:28of the World Egg Throwing Federation for his battle
0:06:28 > 0:06:31against improper egg throwing.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33It's limited edition, 500.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35125.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Guys, I think this is absolutely perfect for you,
0:06:38 > 0:06:40you cannot go by there.
0:06:40 > 0:06:46If he's a champion of your sport, we've got to buy him.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48But he comes as a pair.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- Tony Blair. - ANITA LAUGHS
0:06:53 > 0:06:54Another limited edition.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- He's 349.- And 500.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01Well, it is not a small limited edition. How much are they?
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- That's the thing.- Well, they're asking...
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- £35.- Yep.- And £35.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10But I think if we go for the pair, we should...
0:07:10 > 0:07:14- Are you sure you want to buy the pair, boys?- Yeah?
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Red party for the Red Team?
0:07:16 > 0:07:19It will count as one item.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23We've got John there, and we've got Tony. It's all down to the deal.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26These aren't Doulton, but they are fairly well made.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Barstow Manor Pottery.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Modelled by Ray Noble.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34That is important that you can identify the modeller,
0:07:34 > 0:07:35so I like that.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38You've got a wee bit of a nick there.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43- Do you think we can negotiate around about £40?- Well, see what you can do.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- Who's good at... - Negotiating?
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Neither of us.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48THEY LAUGH
0:07:48 > 0:07:52- We'll hold hands?- Will you hold hands?- We'll try.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55While the Red party handle their political negotiations,
0:07:55 > 0:07:57let's see how the Blue party are doing.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01There's a cabinet just for you. Look.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04We'll leave you there for an hour. Lovely figurines.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07- You don't want them any more, do you?- No.
0:08:07 > 0:08:12- Has dealer Jim got good news for our Red Team?- All right, Anita?- Yes.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14I've given the dealer a ring,
0:08:14 > 0:08:18- and the very best price they will do them for is £42.- 42.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- We've got to take them at that, boys.- Absolutely.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24You've done a great job for us, Jim, thank you very much.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- Cracking job.- Thank you very much. - Thank you.
0:08:27 > 0:08:32Well done, Reds, that's your first buy. In no time at all.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Boys, I'm so proud of you.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37One lot in seven minutes!
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- You guys are champions.- Yes, but I'm world champion.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43- I'm just the Dutch national champion.- My trophy is bigger than his?
0:08:43 > 0:08:46All right, all right, boys, boys, boys, boys!
0:08:46 > 0:08:50Let's keep our mind on the job. Let's go.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Well said, Anita. Now, are the girls doing as well?
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- The Asprey cigarette case there. - What's on it, 185?
0:09:00 > 0:09:04It's quite punchy, isn't it? Here we are.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07So where is the Asprey mark, that's what I want? There we are.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09- It is a bit expensive, isn't it? - Asprey of London.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12And there's a nice Chester hallmark.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14I think it's beautiful, ladies,
0:09:14 > 0:09:16but my honest opinion is that is quite a lot of money.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- OK. Put it back.- Sorry. That's a no.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Well, that's gone up in smoke then.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Keep looking, Blues.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29I think there's a theme developing with those Reds, eh, Anita?
0:09:29 > 0:09:33- He's found something else.- So you were going a bit potty.- I was.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- There is a pair here.- Uh-huh.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Right, OK. Pair, I like.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- How is the condition, guys? - They are horrible.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46They might be, but they've been here a long time. They are very dusty.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49OK. The dealer has done his research.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53So they are Italian, from the 1920s, 1930s.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Italian Art Deco.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Different regions expressed their style. The colours are slightly...
0:10:02 > 0:10:04- ..sombre.- Yes.- Damaged as well, look.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07That's not a terribly bad damage there.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09They're big, they're a matching pair.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15And I know from looking at your face that you absolutely hate them.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- I- co... I think this is a nice pair.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Which somebody will look at that and go, "That's what I want."
0:10:21 > 0:10:23You're taking the yolk.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25THEY LAUGH
0:10:25 > 0:10:29Listen, I'm the one that's making the yolks.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Ha-ha, oh, you lot do crack me up.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35- Hold it up, boys. Show me how you would hold your trophies.- Yes!- Yes!
0:10:35 > 0:10:37CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:10:37 > 0:10:41That competitive spirit certainly runs deep with this double act.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- I still don't like it.- We'll put them back. We'll come back.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48- OK.- We have plenty of time. Let's keep looking. - Please. Let's keep looking.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49OK.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Now, the girls have gone all fuzzy.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Have a little... Have a look.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02He's got quite a lot of his original plush on him, hasn't he?
0:11:02 > 0:11:04- It's not worn away, is it?- No.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08And he's probably filled with straw, I would have thought.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12- Do you like him?- I think it's lovely.- It's quite solid.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- Should I have a feel?- Yeah.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17He is all articulated. He really is.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20There you can see the actual straw underneath.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23It's got all its original innards.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25I don't think he's in too bad a condition.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27He is a bit worn.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30I think ideally we would want to pay about £40-£50, wouldn't we?
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- I would have thought so.- Do you think?- Yes. I think that is enough.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36You've got teddy bear eyes, the way you're looking at me. Hasn't she?
0:11:36 > 0:11:40- She's gone all soppy on us. - She's pleading.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- Aw!- Shall we have a little...
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Shall we have a little cuddle?
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Don't get too attached.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- I prefer that.- The dog?
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- Shall we have look at him as well, then?- That's very heavy.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55I've got three German shepherds at home.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58This is a cold-painted bronze.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00And it is stamped on the bottom.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Let's have a look. It is just stamped "Austrian".
0:12:03 > 0:12:06I was hoping there might be a Bergman mark or something.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08What does it say?
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Oh, he is £125. Early 1900s.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Cold-painted bronze.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16OK. Debs, hi. There's a couple of pieces that we like from here.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Can you just see what's the very best on that?
0:12:19 > 0:12:21And also the very, very best on the teddy bear.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- See if we can get a deal or something.- The very best price.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26And tell him I have three children to feed.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28THEY LAUGH
0:12:28 > 0:12:32Eh, nice try, Helen. Let's hope it works on the dealer.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Now, Anita has found something close to Norm's heart.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39A set of miniature medals.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42I've actually got the end one myself because I was in the Royal Air Force.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Well, Norm might be a champion egg tosser,
0:12:45 > 0:12:47but he's also quite the action man.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51I served in Northern Ireland, so you get a campaign medal each time
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- you serve in a hostile, what was then...- Environment.- Yeah.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57And that looks like £33.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00I was thinking of something with more of a personal story,
0:13:00 > 0:13:04- something that attaches to an individual.- Yeah.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05From the militaria side.
0:13:05 > 0:13:10If we have the name of the servicemen on the medal,
0:13:10 > 0:13:15which is usually around the rim, and we have some documentation which is
0:13:15 > 0:13:19associated with the heroism,
0:13:19 > 0:13:22then it makes it more valuable.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26These would be worn on your dress suit. Let's remember them.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29If you fancy doing a military thing,
0:13:29 > 0:13:33at £33...you wouldn't go far wrong with that.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42Did the Blues get any good news about the dog and bear?
0:13:42 > 0:13:44- What have you got for us? - I've phoned the dealer
0:13:44 > 0:13:48and the best they can do is £50 on the teddy bear.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51And £80 for the spaniel.
0:13:51 > 0:13:52- Oh!- That is quite a good deal.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54- That's quite a lot off, isn't it? - Yeah.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58I think the spaniel has got quite nice character, hasn't he? Looks quite good,
0:13:58 > 0:14:01and I think also the teddy bear equally has a good appeal.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03So a total of 130.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06They'd be barking mad not to at that price.
0:14:06 > 0:14:11- What do you think?- Yes. We are pushing for time now, aren't we?
0:14:11 > 0:14:15- Yeah?- Yes.- Happy with those?- Yes, I am.- Jolly good, then. That's two down.
0:14:15 > 0:14:20- Two down.- Wahey!- Well done, girls, you are on fire now.
0:14:20 > 0:14:25Hurrah! Two in one hit, and it is 26 minutes in. Well done, team.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27While that lot get on with shopping,
0:14:27 > 0:14:30let me show you something that is sure to brighten up your day.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33There's over 30,000 square feet of antiques here at the
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Brackley antiques centre.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39And therefore there is something to suit everybody's taste.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43And if you're an automobilia freak,
0:14:43 > 0:14:47then you're almost certain to love this object.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50It's a spotlight that's come from a car that,
0:14:50 > 0:14:53I guess, might date from the 1920s.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57But what I like about it is, the crudity of its construction.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01Here we've got basically something that's made of brass
0:15:01 > 0:15:05that, as you look carefully, once upon a time was black japanned.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08That means it had black paint all over it.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11And sweated along the top edge is this
0:15:11 > 0:15:14eyebrow of a visor,
0:15:14 > 0:15:18which is designed to stop the rain from falling on top of the lens
0:15:18 > 0:15:20and distorting the light.
0:15:20 > 0:15:25It looks like the sort of spotlight that would have been applied
0:15:25 > 0:15:30to the side of an old car, so that you would take it out and shine
0:15:30 > 0:15:32it around the vicinity, if you were
0:15:32 > 0:15:35trying to find a sign, for example.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38I don't think it was applied permanently to a motorcar,
0:15:38 > 0:15:41it was simply there as an auxiliary light.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45The sort of buyer for this lamp is a person who has bought
0:15:45 > 0:15:48a vintage or veteran car, as a barn discovery,
0:15:48 > 0:15:51one of those really rough old cars.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54And they then devote the next 15 years of their life
0:15:54 > 0:15:58in their garage to doing it up, rebuilding it
0:15:58 > 0:16:02and endlessly searching for absolutely correct
0:16:02 > 0:16:08period pieces with which to enhance their precious motor.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12It was a thrill to find this one for only £35,
0:16:12 > 0:16:16and the dealer will do a deal for it for 25.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19One of the problems with buying a lamp like that is, what happens
0:16:19 > 0:16:21if the bulb blows?
0:16:21 > 0:16:24You're not going to believe this, but here in Brackley,
0:16:24 > 0:16:27at the same time I spotted this lamp,
0:16:27 > 0:16:29but on a completely different stall,
0:16:29 > 0:16:31what did I find but these.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35- HE CHUCKLES - A box full of spare
0:16:35 > 0:16:37car lamp bulbs.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41And if I take one out, you can see it is in great condition.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45The filament is there, it will work.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49And if you compare that bulb with the bulb inside this vintage
0:16:49 > 0:16:53lamp, they look to me pretty well identical.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55And if you've got really sharp eyes,
0:16:55 > 0:16:57stencilled on the side of the bulb,
0:16:57 > 0:17:00it gives you a war department logo.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04So these were military issue. And the date, 1945.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08For a restorer, with the period vehicle, to find a box
0:17:08 > 0:17:13full of contemporary bulbs in their boxes is a prize beyond price.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Actually, there's a price for everything.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19And the price for the 12 is £20.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21How dazzling is that?
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Now, let's see how the teams are getting on in the shop.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31Is Anita trying to henpeck the lads into a second item?
0:17:31 > 0:17:34We're frittering a wee bit here, so we have to bag a second item.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36The dealer has come back.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40He is said to us that he can make a substantial reduction on the vases.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44That's £70 for the pair, down from £130,
0:17:44 > 0:17:47but will it end in a showdown for the boys?
0:17:47 > 0:17:50You hate them, you love them.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52I think they will sell really well,
0:17:52 > 0:17:55and I think if the dealer thought he'd get 130 for them
0:17:55 > 0:17:57here, retail,
0:17:57 > 0:18:00we should be able to do more than what he's offered at the auction.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02I'll make a deal with him.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05If we make a loss at auction, if we have them and make a loss,
0:18:05 > 0:18:07I get a raw egg...
0:18:08 > 0:18:10..on camera...
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- ..if he makes a loss.- It's fighting talk.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16How do you feel about that?
0:18:16 > 0:18:17You're on.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21We'll take them.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23THEY LAUGH
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Well, someone's going to end up with egg on their face.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28OK, boys, so we've got that one,
0:18:28 > 0:18:30we think it's a goer.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34But I think we should have something you really have fallen in love with.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Hey, it's no time for favourites, Anita.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Big softie!
0:18:38 > 0:18:39THEY LAUGH
0:18:39 > 0:18:44Now, how are the Blues getting on? Catherine seems to have gone AWOL.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Where's Catherine? I need her expert opinion.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49We've lost our expert.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51- Catherine.- Catherine.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Catherine. Catherine!
0:18:54 > 0:18:57This is a little papier mache box. I thought it was quite pretty.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01- It is quite pretty.- If I lift that up, can you grab the box?
0:19:01 > 0:19:05- I thought it had butterflies on but it hasn't, has it?- It's a flower.
0:19:05 > 0:19:06Do you like it?
0:19:07 > 0:19:10You don't, do you?
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- Um.- How much is it, as a matter of interest, does it say anywhere?
0:19:13 > 0:19:15£25.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19- What would somebody use it for? - Handkerchiefs.- Is it used for ornaments?
0:19:19 > 0:19:22No, I think they just put it on their dressing table or something.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25It's a bit dull, isn't it? OK.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28It's hideous, I think Helen just said.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- She summed it up.- She summed it up. - I will put it back.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36That's one idea shot out of the sky, Leslie,
0:19:36 > 0:19:38but the Reds seem to be taking off.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40- It's in its box.- Yes.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44It's a Dinky, which are highly collectable. I know that.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Hold on, competitors incoming.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Hello. How are you doing?
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- We've saved a fortune.- How much have you bought? How many items?
0:19:52 > 0:19:53Don't.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Secret. Secret, secret!
0:19:55 > 0:19:57THEY LAUGH
0:19:57 > 0:19:59They are not giving anything away.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01That's because you're the competition.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05- Let's have a look at it. - So far you're buying a box.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08A Bristol 173 helicopter.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- Aren't you excited?- No.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Oh, dear, looks like they're on different missions again.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17- That's brilliant.- It is not mint.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22We like it because there is no marks on the paintwork,
0:20:22 > 0:20:24it's not broken in any way.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26It probably has never been out of the box,
0:20:26 > 0:20:30- it has never been played with. Will we leave it in?- OK, I recognise...
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Seeing as it is in its original packaging
0:20:32 > 0:20:36and it is in perfect condition, it might increase its value but...
0:20:36 > 0:20:39- Are you going to let me... - Go on. You negotiate a deal.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41But again, be it on your head.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45Oh, no more egg roulette, please, guys.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Listen, I want you to buy something that you love.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52- £55 is a lot of money. - We could get that down to 35?
0:20:52 > 0:20:56If you could do that, I think that it's definitely got a chance.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00And having a Dinky like this in good condition,
0:21:00 > 0:21:04in original packaging, these are all plus elements.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Do you want to go see how much you can get off that?
0:21:09 > 0:21:12While Norm flies solo for his helicopter, let's see if
0:21:12 > 0:21:14anything has caught the Blues' attention.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Are you sure you're not into jewellery?
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- I thought you'd love jewellery. - Mm...- No?
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Leslie's not after a busman's holiday, Catherine.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26- I do it as my day job, so... - You're not interested.- Well...
0:21:26 > 0:21:30- Unless we see that special gem. - Yes. Absolute...
0:21:30 > 0:21:34That's quite pretty, isn't it? What do you think about that brooch?
0:21:34 > 0:21:37That might be quite nice. It is hallmarked silver.
0:21:37 > 0:21:42- It's a bit specialised. The Scottish element.- You wouldn't wear a brooch?
0:21:42 > 0:21:43No.
0:21:43 > 0:21:44- What about you?- No.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46- No?- No, I don't like it. - Limited.- Mm.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48- Limited market.- I think so.- OK.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53Right, there's 15 minutes to go and both teams have two items.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56How's Norm getting on with his Dinky?
0:21:56 > 0:21:58- Hiya.- Hello. All right?- I found this.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01My philistine of a partner doesn't like it.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05I wondered what sort of price it could be purchased for.
0:22:05 > 0:22:06It's in good condition.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10- The best price we could do on that would be £25.- That's a bargain.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- Don't even need to negotiate. Thank you very much.- Smashing.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- Thank you very much.- I'm off! Wahey!
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Blimey! Sure you don't want to think about that, Norm?
0:22:19 > 0:22:22In the blink of an eye, the Reds have finished their shop.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26Have the Blues found a belter with this little silver buckle?
0:22:28 > 0:22:32- Is it light? - No, it's quite heavy.- Oh!
0:22:32 > 0:22:36Is there a hallmark anywhere? There's a little...
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Can see that the R does marry up
0:22:42 > 0:22:46and there's an anchor there that tells us that it's Birmingham.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48It would be nice to find out the date,
0:22:48 > 0:22:50but it seems to be Victorian to me.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54It's got 45 on it. Do you think you can wave your magic wand again?
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Unfortunately, I can't phone the dealer.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59He's away at the moment, but I'm sure
0:22:59 > 0:23:02he could let you have it for 30 and I think that's a very good price.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06- Yeah?- I think 30's a good price. - Good in auction?
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Yeah, I think we've got every chance.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11- It's a good, weighty piece as well. - Yes, it is.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15And if someone can wear it, just as you would, that's a bonus!
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- Happy?- Yes, I'm happy. - I am.- We've done three items.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22- We've got three items. - Well in the time. Well done, ladies.
0:23:22 > 0:23:23I am proud of you!
0:23:23 > 0:23:26It's all in the can, as they say. Time's up.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Let's check out what the Red team bought.
0:23:30 > 0:23:35They bought two Bairstow Manor Pottery character jugs for £42.
0:23:36 > 0:23:41A pair of Italian Art Deco vases were theirs for £70.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45They also flew off with a Dinky helicopter and its box for £25.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52Well, didn't drop too many clangers there, did you?
0:23:52 > 0:23:56- Not quite.- Anyway, did you have a good time?- We did. Fabulous.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00- Absolutely brilliant.- Very good. Which is your favourite piece?
0:24:00 > 0:24:04- I like the two Italian jugs.- Yes. And which is your favourite piece?
0:24:04 > 0:24:06- I like the Dinky toy.- Very good.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10- Which is going to bring the biggest profit?- The Dinky toy.- The jugs.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12The jugs. OK, fine. We've got a split decision.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15- And how much did you spend? - 137.- £137.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19- I'd like 163, please, from somewhere. 163.- There we go.
0:24:19 > 0:24:24Goes straight over to canny Anita, who's in heaven, I guess, here.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28Yeah. Well, I've had a great time with my pair of egg-centrics.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31And I want to buy them something egg-citing
0:24:31 > 0:24:35and maybe even egg-straordinary with this lot!
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Well, that's teeing it up, isn't it?
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Just don't let it scramble your brains!
0:24:40 > 0:24:44Moving on though, let's check out right now what the Blue team
0:24:44 > 0:24:45bought, eh?
0:24:45 > 0:24:50They cuddled up to a 1920s golden plush teddy bear for £50.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55A late-19th century of a cocker spaniel
0:24:55 > 0:24:57ran off with 80 of their pounds.
0:24:57 > 0:25:02Finally, they found a late-Victorian silver belt buckle for £30.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- Which is your favourite piece? - I like the silver buckle.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08- That's your favourite.- Yes. - OK, do you agree?- No.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10I like the teddy bear. He's so sweet!
0:25:10 > 0:25:13- And is teddy going to bring the biggest profit?- I don't think so.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15He's just my favourite.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- I think the buckle will probably bring the biggest profit.- Do you?
0:25:18 > 0:25:20- Yeah.- That would please me.- Would it?
0:25:20 > 0:25:23- You think it's going to bring the biggest profit.- Cos you chose it!
0:25:23 > 0:25:26- OK, fine. And you spent, in total, how much?- 160.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30160, I'd like £160 of leftover lolly, please. Thank you very much.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34- Good. Right. Catherine, one challenge.- Thank you.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37- Well, we didn't buy any jewellery, did we?- No.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41- So, this time, I might go for something blingy.- OK.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43- Might you?- Mm-hm.- Sounds exciting.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Anyway, good luck, cos very shortly,
0:25:45 > 0:25:47we're going to be going to the auction.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02I can't tell you how lovely it is to be at Special Auction Services'
0:26:02 > 0:26:05saleroom to be with my old mate, my old mucker, Thomas Plant. Thomas.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08- Hello, Tim.- Lovely to be back. - Thank you for coming.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- We're standing by for big things here.- Absolutely.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15First of all, we've got these caricature jugs.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19This is so much a Doulton-type product, but these aren't Doulton.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21These are not. These are modern.
0:26:21 > 0:26:26Bairstow Manor, a modern production company of two Labour politicians.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Mm-hm.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31They don't follow quite the same collectible pattern that
0:26:31 > 0:26:34- Doulton ones would.- No, they don't.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37You can actually go on the website of this company
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- and you can buy these for £27. - Really?
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Brand-new for £27, so what are you going to get for them in the auction?
0:26:43 > 0:26:46- £27 each...?- £40-60.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Our team paid £42 for the two, so they paid roughly the right price.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51If you can get 40 to 60, that's perfect.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Now, moving on to some more ceramics,
0:26:53 > 0:26:56but rather more interesting, in terms of the shape.
0:26:56 > 0:26:57Give us the lowdown.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Well, they're by somebody called Mario Truko,
0:27:00 > 0:27:03an Italian designer, pottery designer.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07Italy has quite an interesting history in fabulous
0:27:07 > 0:27:09over-the-top designs.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13But the palette, I have to say, in dark brown and orange
0:27:13 > 0:27:17- and yellow, isn't to everybody's taste, is it?- No.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21- They're not bright and breezy and beautiful.- What are they worth?
0:27:21 > 0:27:22I've put them in at £60-80.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25You've put them in at the right price because our team paid £70.
0:27:25 > 0:27:26Oh, really?
0:27:26 > 0:27:30Now, moving on to the last item in this eclectic mix is
0:27:30 > 0:27:33the Bristol Gyro helicopter, passenger plane.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36- Yes, in its original box.- And you sell a lot of these, don't you?
0:27:36 > 0:27:38We do sell a lot of these.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41It's good that it's got the original propellers cos they're
0:27:41 > 0:27:43normally falling off.
0:27:43 > 0:27:48But the downside is the turquoise body of it is quite badly chipped.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50- Is it?- Yes, it's been play-worn.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53That's the way we would describe it, play-worn. So, what's it worth?
0:27:53 > 0:27:57- Yes, what is it worth? - We think between 30 and £50.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59- 30 to 50?- Mm-hm. - That's perfect. £25 paid.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03Anyway, on that basis, they may not need their bonus buy,
0:28:03 > 0:28:05but let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:28:06 > 0:28:11How exciting is this? You gave Anita £163 of leftover lolly.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Anita, what did you buy?
0:28:13 > 0:28:17What should you buy for two ex-firemen,
0:28:17 > 0:28:21but...a fireman's helmet.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Is this the type of thing that you might have worn, guys?
0:28:24 > 0:28:26He might have done cos he's older.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30Well, this is fabulous and I couldn't resist it.
0:28:30 > 0:28:35It's an early 20th century one, so it has age about it. It's Belgian.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39Look at this wonderful comb, almost like a Roman centurion.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42- This may have been First World War...- Oh, yeah.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46- Round about that period. Boys, do you want to try it on?- Yeah.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49- Go on, do it! Oh, yes! - It's a little bit small for me.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52It's Trumpton all over again!
0:28:52 > 0:28:54What are you like, eh?
0:28:54 > 0:28:58- It's had some use, hasn't it? - It certainly has.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00- Needs a polish.- No! No!
0:29:00 > 0:29:04I mean, am I right, Anita, that if you've got one with original colour
0:29:04 > 0:29:07like that, that hasn't been polished for nigh on 100 years, leave it?
0:29:07 > 0:29:09That's the secret, isn't it?
0:29:09 > 0:29:12If you're at all interested in the subject, it's a fantastic piece.
0:29:12 > 0:29:16- They're quite collectible.- They are. - Well, I paid £160 for that.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18GASPS
0:29:18 > 0:29:20- Yeah.- You spent all our money! - A lot of money!
0:29:20 > 0:29:23How much profit are we going to make?
0:29:23 > 0:29:27Well, that's the question, boys. We won't make a huge amount on it.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31Anyway, on that happy note, to the audience at home,
0:29:31 > 0:29:34let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Anita's helmet.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37Well, well, well.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39This is a lovely thing.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42It's a lovely thing, isn't it, if you're a fireman?
0:29:42 > 0:29:46If you're a fireman, and you want an early pre-First World War Belgian
0:29:46 > 0:29:51fireman's helmet, which this is, with the leather support...
0:29:51 > 0:29:53- It's not in great condition.- No.
0:29:53 > 0:29:58- We've only put £30-50 on it because of the damage.- OK.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01And I know that might sound a bit churlish and a bit naughty,
0:30:01 > 0:30:04but it is dented, it is torn, the metal.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06- £30-50, did you say?- Yeah.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09- That's a disaster for our Anita. She paid £160 for this helmet.- No!
0:30:09 > 0:30:12- Yeah, she got thoroughly carried away.- Yeah.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15OK, that's it for the Reds. And now for the Blues.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18Their first item is the golden plush teddy bear.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20You sell a lot of teddies, don't you?
0:30:20 > 0:30:22We do sell a lot of teddy bears.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26It's a sweet one, it's got glass eyes. Straw-filled.
0:30:26 > 0:30:30- It's real, it's lovely... - It's huggable.- It's huggable. £25-35.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32OK, they paid 50. Not that huggable.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35Two people could fall in love with it.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37- Let's hope they will. - Bit bigger for a £50 bear.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40- You want a bigger one, do you?- You do.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44I didn't think size was that important with... It is, OK.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47Now, the Austrian cold-painted spaniel.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50It's a lovely cold-painted bronze spaniel.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52What I like about this one is it is just a dog.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56It's not a dog doing anything silly and he's definitely period,
0:30:56 > 0:31:02- not a copy. It's a good looking object.- How much?- £70-100.- Perfect.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05£80 paid. It's in the frame, isn't it?
0:31:05 > 0:31:10Lastly, we've got this gorgeous heavy cast solid silver buckle.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Yeah, it's great. It's a Victorian silver buckle. Nurse's buckle.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16- And do you know the reason why they're always silver?- Why?
0:31:16 > 0:31:18Because of the sterilisation of silver
0:31:18 > 0:31:22- and silver doesn't hold germs like any other metal.- Really?- Yeah.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25- Handy though, isn't it? If you're a matron or a sister, or...- Yeah.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29- And surprisingly, they are still so popular.- What's your estimate?
0:31:29 > 0:31:31- 40-60.- Perfect. £30 paid.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34Here's another team that probably won't need its bonus buy,
0:31:34 > 0:31:37but let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40Leslie, Helen, you spent £160, magnificent.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43You gave Catherine £140 and I'm going to help you, Catherine,
0:31:43 > 0:31:45and take off this rag.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47- Oh, oh, oh...- Oh, oh, oh...
0:31:47 > 0:31:51- Ooh!- Ooh! Lovely! Isinglass!
0:31:51 > 0:31:55- Look at that.- That's lovely. How much did you pay for it?
0:31:55 > 0:31:58- Straight... - LAUGHTER
0:31:58 > 0:31:59- Straight to the point!- Hell's bells!
0:31:59 > 0:32:02- I don't believe it! - How much will it make?
0:32:02 > 0:32:05Let me tell you about it first of all.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08- What strikes you about that?- The colour.- The colour.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12- It's a good blue and we are the blue team.- We are.- We are.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15So, the thought was there. It's an apothecary jar.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17But look at that label as well.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19It's in perfect condition and so often,
0:32:19 > 0:32:23these are rubbed off and I love the fact that that's all still intact.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25It's a lovely piece, in great condition,
0:32:25 > 0:32:29- and I think in anyone's bathroom, home...- Anywhere, yes.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32- Yeah, you could use it for anything. - That would look fabulous.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34I can tell you now it cost £80.
0:32:34 > 0:32:35£80.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38What sort of price do you think that would sell for?
0:32:38 > 0:32:41My thought, it should nudge up to 100.
0:32:41 > 0:32:42- Really?- Really.- Gosh!
0:32:42 > 0:32:45- It is lovely.- I like that.- It's rare to find it in such good condition.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48- That's a really good one, Catherine. - Are you happy?- Well done.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52- She's cracked it, hasn't she?- Don't crack it! LAUGHTER
0:32:52 > 0:32:56- Hang on tight.- I am! - Anyway, on that happy note, why don't we, at least the audience at
0:32:56 > 0:33:01home, find out what the auctioneer thinks about the apothecary's jar?
0:33:01 > 0:33:02Well, Tom.
0:33:02 > 0:33:06There's a lot of popular appeal in these apothecary's pots,
0:33:06 > 0:33:08isn't there?
0:33:08 > 0:33:11There is, and I think they're great sort of props for one's kitchen,
0:33:11 > 0:33:15just to sort of decorate with. You'd lose the lid and put your spoons in it.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18- You'd not put Isinglass in your kitchen though, would you?- No.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22it's not a very nice substance. It's not toxic or dangerous.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26- What's it made of again? - I think it's the inside of a fish stomach, or something like that.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29- Oh, lovely. I know that you can use it for preserving eggs.- Do you?
0:33:29 > 0:33:32- I didn't know that.- If you soaked them in Isinglass first,
0:33:32 > 0:33:36- that egg will remain as a fresh egg for up to a year.- Really?- Yeah.
0:33:36 > 0:33:37You learn something new every day.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41- Well, back to the pot. What's it worth?- £60-80.- Is it? Good.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43- £80 was paid by Catherine. - I think that's a fair price.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Yeah, she knows a pot or two.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49- Now, Tom-Tom, are you navigating us towards the auction?- I am.
0:33:49 > 0:33:50Well, we'll arrive accurately then.
0:33:54 > 0:33:5690. Five. 100. And ten. 120.
0:33:56 > 0:34:00130. All done at £130... Selling.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03Well, chaps. Are you feeling confident?
0:34:03 > 0:34:07I was, but I've got a feeling...his jugs, he's going
0:34:07 > 0:34:10to make a profit, which means I have to smash an egg on my head,
0:34:10 > 0:34:13which was a bargain we made...
0:34:13 > 0:34:15- Have you got the egg with you? - We have.- Yes.
0:34:15 > 0:34:16Oh, good!
0:34:16 > 0:34:20Well, I don't think we'll do any egg smashing here in the saleroom,
0:34:20 > 0:34:22but we might do it elsewhere.
0:34:22 > 0:34:23Anyway, it may not happen.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26And first up are the character jugs and here they come.
0:34:26 > 0:34:30Next is 138, this is two Bairstow Manor Pottery character jugs.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Start me here at £30.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34Start me here at £30.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36- At 30. Is there £30 anywhere?- Uh-oh.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39Is there £30 anywhere? £30.
0:34:39 > 0:34:4020.
0:34:40 > 0:34:4320. A tenner a mug. Come on, ladies and gentlemen.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46£20, that's a tenner each. Now, come on.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48- Uh-oh.- I don't believe this!
0:34:48 > 0:34:50- A tenner.- Yeah.

0:35:10 > 0:35:1122.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15£22. I'm afraid to say that is minus £20.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18Now, here come the vases.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21These are twin-handled vases here with beautiful designs to them.
0:35:21 > 0:35:25And I can start the bidding with me here at £40.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28Start me at 40. 40, I have. At £40. In the room.

0:35:33 > 0:35:3760. Five. 70. Five.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40- 80. Five. 90...- Look at this, lads!
0:35:40 > 0:35:43- 95. 95.- Go, Tom! Go!- Round it up.

0:35:49 > 0:35:50Are we done?
0:35:50 > 0:35:55- 95.- That is perfect. That's plus £25. That knocks out the losses.
0:35:55 > 0:35:56You are plus £5, lads.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59- OK. Now, here comes...- My Dinky toy.
0:35:59 > 0:36:03Dinky Bristol 173 helicopter. In original box with insert.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06And start the bidding with me here, £20. £20.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10£20 for the Dinky. At £20, surely there's got to be £20.
0:36:10 > 0:36:1220, I have. At 20, it is here. At 20.
0:36:12 > 0:36:17Is there two anywhere else? Is there two anywhere else? At £20.
0:36:17 > 0:36:18Once at 20,
0:36:18 > 0:36:21- twice at 20...- Uh-oh.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24£20 is minus £5, which means you've got absolutely nothing.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26Lovely(!)
0:36:26 > 0:36:27One wiped face.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30So, what are you going to do about the old fireman's helmet?
0:36:30 > 0:36:33- I don't think we go with this.- We're going to go.- No, we don't want to.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36- We're not?!- No, we're not going to go with it.- Oh.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39- Shall we toss for it? - Fight you for it.- Toss for it.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42- Heads. - What sort of a partnership is this?
0:36:42 > 0:36:45- It's tails. We don't go with it. - I'm sorry.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48Listen, they have done the democratic thing here,
0:36:48 > 0:36:50these firemen, right? They've tossed a coin
0:36:50 > 0:36:53and the decision is not to go with the bonus buy.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55- Is that true?- Yes.- Is that it?- Yes.
0:36:55 > 0:36:59You're out at the bonus buy, we're going to sell it anyway and here it comes.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03Belgian fireman's helmet here, having some dents and damages,
0:37:03 > 0:37:05but it's still lovely, pre-First World War.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07£30.

0:37:31 > 0:37:3355 is minus 105.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36- Good decision, boys.- I think you did. Minus 105.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39That really went up in flames. OK, fine.
0:37:39 > 0:37:43Minus 105, but your finished score is absolutely nothing.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46So, don't say a thing to the Blues.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48There's nothing to be ashamed about that.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50No profit, no loss.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58- Leslie, Helen, this is exciting, isn't it?- It is.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00- Look at all these people in here to buy your lots.- We hope so.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02- Now, have you been chatting to the Reds?- No.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04Good. Excellent.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07Now, first up is the wee teddy bear and here it comes.
0:38:07 > 0:38:11A 1920s miniature golden plush teddy bear. Start the bidding here.

0:38:25 > 0:38:27At 30, at 30, there is at £30.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29At £30, there is. Is there any advance at 30?
0:38:29 > 0:38:31And five, there is.
0:38:31 > 0:38:3535, 35. Are you sure? At 35 for a little bear. At £35 once,
0:38:35 > 0:38:38£35 twice, are we done?
0:38:38 > 0:38:4235...is minus 15, I'm sorry, girls.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45- As predicted, actually.- Yeah. - I'm sorry about that. OK.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47Now, let's go with the dog.
0:38:47 > 0:38:5119th century Austrian cold-painted figure of a cocker spaniel.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54And I can start the bidding...60. Start me here at 60.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57£60. Start me here at 60. Is there any advance at 60?
0:38:57 > 0:38:59Any advance at £60? At £60. 50, then.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01We've got 50 online.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04- And five, we've got. 55. Is there 60?- Come on!
0:39:04 > 0:39:08Any advance at 55? Oh, internet 60.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11- I can't believe this! - Any advance at 60?
0:39:11 > 0:39:13Any advance at £60? Once,
0:39:13 > 0:39:15- 60 twice.- Oh, gosh!
0:39:15 > 0:39:19Which means you are minus 20 on that and minus £35 overall.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23- Now, the belt buckle. Is this a belter or not?- Lovely lot, this one.
0:39:23 > 0:39:27The nice Victorian silver belt buckle. Possibly a nurse's one.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29Start me at 30.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31- Lovely piece of cast silver. - Come on!
0:39:31 > 0:39:33£30, I'm looking for.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36- £30, I'm looking for. Come on! - Oh, Lord!
0:39:36 > 0:39:4020, then. Cheap lot at 20. 22, I've got online, it is.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42- At 22. 22. 22.- Come on!
0:39:42 > 0:39:46At £22. Come on, I wanted someone to stick their hand up at 25.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48There's got to be a £3 bid here to make it 25.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51- Let's not be mean.- Please!
0:39:51 > 0:39:55- Stingy.- All done, then. £22 once, 22 twice.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59- That's minus eight.- Guaranteed profit!- I can't bear this.
0:39:59 > 0:40:00This is minus 43.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03- Overall.- Oh, well. - This is not right, I tell you.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07Minus 43. Now, listen. What do you think about the apothecary's jar?
0:40:07 > 0:40:10- Do you want to go with the bonus buy?- Yes, I think so.- Yeah! Why not?
0:40:10 > 0:40:13- In for a penny.- Exactly.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16OK. We're going with it. £80 paid.
0:40:16 > 0:40:17And here it comes.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21Lot 163, a late-19th century ceramic apothecary jar.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24Isinglass, paper label front. Lovely lot, this one.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27- Really like it.- Yes! Come on! Talk it up.- Start the bidding. £40.
0:40:27 > 0:40:32At £40. At 40. At £40. At 40, is there 40? There is 45 now.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35There's 45, there is online. Any advance at 45?
0:40:35 > 0:40:37At 45. 45. Is there any advance?
0:40:37 > 0:40:40Is there 50 anywhere? Is there 50?
0:40:40 > 0:40:42- At £45 online.- Oh, dear!
0:40:42 > 0:40:45Twice at 45. One more bid, ladies and gentlemen.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47Any advance?
0:40:47 > 0:40:52£45 is, I'm afraid, minus £35, which means you are minus £78.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56If the Reds have done really badly, it could be a winning score!
0:40:56 > 0:40:59- THEY LAUGH - So, say not a thing to the Reds, all right?- OK.- OK.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08Well, teams. This is exciting, isn't it?
0:41:08 > 0:41:11- It is.- To reveal the runners-up and the winners...
0:41:11 > 0:41:15Well, sadly, nobody's going home with any profits.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17LAUGHTER
0:41:17 > 0:41:21And the team with the largest losses, I have to tell you,
0:41:21 > 0:41:24by quite a long chalk, are the Blues.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26Girls...
0:41:26 > 0:41:30- It really wasn't working for you... - Those pesky Reds!- No, it wasn't.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32Just bad luck, that's all it is.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35It's not the scale of the thing, it's the fun that we've had.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37- Of course.- And we've loved having you on the show.
0:41:37 > 0:41:41- And you've been such good sports. - Thank you.- Thank you. - Which is what it's all about.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44- And I hope you've enjoyed it too. - We have enjoyed it very much, yes.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46So, the victors today win and take home absolutely nothing.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49In fact, they have a wiped face, which is unusual, isn't it, really?
0:41:49 > 0:41:53- Well, it would be.- Yes. - But there is a wager that we had,
0:41:53 > 0:41:58which was to do with the vases that he wanted, in as much as if they
0:41:58 > 0:42:02made a profit, then unfortunately, I'd have to smash an egg on my head.
0:42:02 > 0:42:06- Right.- Selecting... - One of these eggs.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10- Yes, five of which are hard boiled. - Yes.- One is raw.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12OK. Well, hang on a minute. Cos just to spice this up,
0:42:12 > 0:42:17cos I'd hate to feel that you're doing this with half a dozen
0:42:17 > 0:42:20eggs that you might have spotted one from t'other.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23We'll have just a little mix up here,
0:42:23 > 0:42:26as a true test of your world-beating skills.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28LAUGHTER
0:42:28 > 0:42:32So, you can tell the egg that's runny from the five
0:42:32 > 0:42:35- that are hard-boiled? - That is correct.- OK. Fine.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38Well, we've now spiced up the odds here a bit.
0:42:38 > 0:42:39- Are you watching closely?- Yeah.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43OK.
0:42:43 > 0:42:47- I'm going to choose my egg. - Oh, yeah.- Oh, 'eck!
0:42:47 > 0:42:48Oh, 'eck.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Argh!
0:42:51 > 0:42:53- Champion!- Look at that!
0:42:53 > 0:42:55How did you do that?
0:42:55 > 0:42:57That is quite hard boiled, isn't it?
0:42:57 > 0:43:01So, you go home with five sound eggs, as champions and no money.
0:43:01 > 0:43:05- How about that for a result? - Brilliant.- Absolutely brilliant.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08Such fun. Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?
0:43:08 > 0:43:09ALL: Yes!
