The Stafford knot is the traditional symbol of the town of Stafford.

0:00:020:00:05

The origins of the Stafford knot are lost in time,

0:00:050:00:10

but the motto that goes with it says the knot unites

0:00:100:00:15

and today we have two teams united in their quest for profit.

0:00:150:00:20

The big question is, though, will it be just a lot of money for old rope?

0:00:200:00:24

Ha! Let's find out!

0:00:240:00:26

Let's go Bargain Hunting, yeah!

0:00:260:00:28

On today's show, we have two teams who are bound together

0:00:550:00:59

by a mutual love of everything that's old and retro and vintage

0:00:590:01:03

and here's a sneaky peek as to what's coming up.

0:01:030:01:06

Our glamorous Reds see the funny side...

0:01:070:01:10

Look at him... Oh!

0:01:100:01:11

THEY LAUGH

0:01:110:01:14

I love that.

0:01:140:01:16

..while the Blues find some cutting edge technology.

0:01:160:01:20

-Would it work in a butcher's?

-That would be a feature in a butcher's shop.

0:01:200:01:23

-So we just need to find another butcher that might like it.

-Yes!

0:01:230:01:27

But who will win out at the auction?

0:01:270:01:29

I can't bear this.

0:01:290:01:32

How cool is that?

0:01:320:01:34

That's all for later. But now let's meet the teams.

0:01:350:01:38

On today's show, we have two teams of friends.

0:01:390:01:42

Well, they're friends at the moment.

0:01:420:01:44

For the Reds, we've got Eloise and Dominique,

0:01:440:01:47

and for the Blues we have Simon and Darren.

0:01:470:01:50

-Hello, everyone.

-ALL: Hello!

0:01:500:01:52

Now, Dominique, how did you two gorgeous chicks meet?

0:01:520:01:56

We're both in the beauty industry so we met through...

0:01:560:01:59

El was trying to sell me... She did sell me some massage oil.

0:01:590:02:03

Yes, sounds a bit funny,

0:02:030:02:06

but it was all above board!

0:02:060:02:08

She was applying it with a nice brush to my arm,

0:02:080:02:12

-which kind of seduced me, really.

-And we bonded.

0:02:120:02:15

Well, I mean being brushed with massage oil, I suppose,

0:02:150:02:18

is a reasonable lubricant to a friendship.

0:02:180:02:23

-It is!

-Lovely, exactly.

0:02:230:02:25

This is because you're in the beauty business in what kind of aspect?

0:02:250:02:29

We've got a salon. My mum owns the salon and I just work with her.

0:02:290:02:34

She set it up about eight years ago now.

0:02:340:02:37

Once upon a time, before you were wafting around

0:02:370:02:40

with these scented facecloths,

0:02:400:02:42

you actually used to go around with a mechanic's oily cloth.

0:02:420:02:46

When I left school,

0:02:460:02:47

-I did some training at a garage to be a car mechanic.

-No!

0:02:470:02:51

Working on clutches, yes!

0:02:510:02:53

-How very funny!

-I know.

0:02:530:02:55

I take it that career wasn't going anywhere.

0:02:550:02:58

No, I've gone from one end of the spectrum to the other,

0:02:580:03:01

from oily, dirty to glamorous beauty.

0:03:010:03:04

Eloise, what does your job entail?

0:03:040:03:06

I'm an area sales manager in Stoke-on-Trent

0:03:060:03:08

and I basically help people earn money,

0:03:080:03:11

look after a large group of people on a day-to-day basis,

0:03:110:03:14

long hours but, yeah.

0:03:140:03:16

It says here that you're a formidable boss. Is that true?

0:03:160:03:19

-Yes, I'm the boss.

-She's a bossy lady.

0:03:190:03:22

I am bossy, to be fair, people tell me that.

0:03:220:03:25

But I do like to help people and I do like to wear the trousers.

0:03:250:03:30

And what about antiques, you two? Know anything about them?

0:03:300:03:33

Not a great deal.

0:03:330:03:34

That means you're going to do terribly well on Bargain Hunt!

0:03:340:03:37

-Hopefully!

-It's the only qualification that you need on this programme.

0:03:370:03:40

-But we have a good eye for things, I think.

-Exactly, quality.

0:03:400:03:43

We've had a bit of a dabble in antiques,

0:03:430:03:45

-we're not complete newbies to it.

-No, no. That's great, isn't it?

0:03:450:03:48

-I think you're going to be formidable.

-Why, thank you.

0:03:480:03:52

Super-duper. Well, good luck. Now, Simon, how did you and Darren meet?

0:03:520:03:56

Well, I'm the co-owner of a butcher's shop in Sutton Coldfield,

0:03:560:04:01

and Darren was one of my customers

0:04:010:04:06

-and we just got chatting about, erm...

-Joints?

0:04:060:04:08

..joints, meat and good food, basically,

0:04:080:04:12

cos I was a chef for 28 years.

0:04:120:04:14

Oh, right, so you went from chef-ing into butchery?

0:04:140:04:17

Yeah, we just got talking about that about two and a half years ago.

0:04:170:04:20

-That's lovely, isn't it?

-Yes.

-I bet you cook up some delicious food.

0:04:200:04:24

We do. We do the odd one. We specialise in hog roasts, as well.

0:04:240:04:28

Oh, do you? Is that one of your favourites, Darren?

0:04:280:04:31

It is, cos mine's free.

0:04:310:04:33

-Because you shop there so much?

-I'm his best customer!

0:04:330:04:36

Now, Darren, you're a fan of all things vintage

0:04:360:04:39

and I'm already admiring your glasses.

0:04:390:04:41

I love vintage with a modern twist, especially from the '60s -

0:04:410:04:45

Omega watches,

0:04:450:04:47

furniture such as Charles Eames,

0:04:470:04:49

the French or Danish style.

0:04:490:04:51

You run an online business, so that means you've got plenty of time off.

0:04:510:04:55

-Flexible hours.

-Very flexible indeed, yes.

0:04:550:04:58

I play golf twice a week, and I do ballroom

0:04:580:05:01

-and Latin dancing twice a week, as well.

-What's your favourite step?

0:05:010:05:04

My favourite dance is the foxtrot.

0:05:040:05:06

So where did the love of dancing come from?

0:05:060:05:08

I was sort of pushed into it, really,

0:05:080:05:10

from my other half about three years ago, trying to find something

0:05:100:05:13

to do together, and absolutely loved it from the very beginning.

0:05:130:05:17

Well, isn't that marvellous, this kind of magical link?

0:05:170:05:19

Now, what do you two know about antiques?

0:05:190:05:22

I don't know a lot, Tim, to be honest,

0:05:220:05:24

but I know if I see it and I like it, I'll buy it.

0:05:240:05:26

You know a bit of lean, though, don't you, when you come across it?

0:05:260:05:29

-Yeah, a bit of lean, leave the fat.

-A bit of streaky.

0:05:290:05:32

-OK, well, it's going to be fun. Are you looking forward to it?

-Yes.

0:05:320:05:35

I am too, immensely. Great teams!

0:05:350:05:37

Now, here we go, £300 apiece. There you go, £300, girls.

0:05:370:05:41

You know the rules, your experts await

0:05:410:05:42

and OFF YOU SCOOT!

0:05:420:05:44

And very, very, very good luck.

0:05:440:05:46

I say! Things are looking up.

0:05:460:05:48

Let's meet our experts today.

0:05:500:05:52

First, look who's popped up for the Reds. It's Thomas Plant.

0:05:520:05:56

And always a good turn, it's Christina Trevanion for the Blues.

0:05:560:06:00

-Dominique, Eloise, excited?

-Yes, very.

0:06:010:06:04

What do you know about antiques?

0:06:040:06:05

Not much, to be honest, but I know what I like to look at.

0:06:050:06:10

Which is?

0:06:100:06:12

Expensive and nice-looking things.

0:06:120:06:14

-So you're an expensive girl, are you?

-Yeah.

0:06:140:06:16

I sort of like silver and anything interesting that takes my eye,

0:06:160:06:20

and Daz is your vintage boy, really.

0:06:200:06:23

Yeah, '50s, '60s, maybe the '70s and '80s.

0:06:230:06:25

-What about you, Dominique?

-I like more vintage stuff.

0:06:250:06:28

-Cool!

-I like vintage, shabby chic.

0:06:280:06:31

I love watches from the '60s period.

0:06:310:06:33

-OK, let's go and see if we can find some.

-Great!

0:06:330:06:36

It's a case of WATCH OUT!

0:06:360:06:38

Your shopping, teams, starts now.

0:06:380:06:40

-I think it's going to be an experience.

-Yes.

0:06:400:06:43

-It'll be a good experience.

-Let's go.

-Yaay!

0:06:430:06:46

Anything that catches your eye around here?

0:06:510:06:53

Rhinestones...

0:06:530:06:55

Open the lid, open the open the lid...

0:06:570:06:59

It's a workbox, as well.

0:07:000:07:02

£380.

0:07:020:07:04

No!

0:07:040:07:05

£380! We haven't got 380.

0:07:050:07:07

But it is Victorian, it is inlaid and it's an attractive thing.

0:07:070:07:11

Shame!

0:07:110:07:12

Oh, well, move on.

0:07:120:07:14

You might have your work cut out

0:07:160:07:17

keeping these glamorous girls within budget, Thomas.

0:07:170:07:20

Meanwhile, Simon has spotted something small and shiny.

0:07:200:07:24

-I like that.

-Do you?

-Yeah.

0:07:240:07:25

-Really?

-Yeah. Do you not like that?

0:07:270:07:29

-Well, it's very modern.

-Is it?

-Yeah.

0:07:290:07:31

I'm not entirely sure. If you've got this much money,

0:07:310:07:34

-you want to buy something that's antique-antique, don't you?

-Absolutely.

0:07:340:07:37

-How much is that?

-215.

-215!

0:07:420:07:44

Now, this looks like it's got a bit more age to it, Blues.

0:07:470:07:51

Bit of silver.

0:07:510:07:53

Really sweet little bit of silver.

0:07:530:07:55

Let's see if we can see some hallmarks, and we can.

0:07:550:07:58

That's quite nice. So, WC, William Comyns, who's a great maker.

0:07:580:08:02

It's a London assay mark, and that looks like it could be an I,

0:08:020:08:05

so 1908, so Edwardian, 1901 to 1910.

0:08:050:08:08

It's got this lovely embossed lily.

0:08:080:08:11

William Comyns was very famous for his embossed work.

0:08:110:08:14

He did a lot of cherubs and quite highly ornate things,

0:08:140:08:17

-so William Comyns collectors will want something that's embossed.

-OK.

0:08:170:08:21

That's quite sweet and it's in nice condition.

0:08:210:08:24

I would say it's a really nice quality piece.

0:08:240:08:26

What is that exactly used for?

0:08:260:08:27

This would have been part of a lady's dressing table set,

0:08:270:08:30

so you would have had it on your dressing table

0:08:300:08:32

and you would have had various jars to put your rouge or your powder

0:08:320:08:36

or your hair tidy or whatever in. Anything, really.

0:08:360:08:39

I think that's quite sweet. What do you think?

0:08:390:08:41

-I quite like it.

-Do you want to have a look?

-Yeah.

0:08:410:08:44

Yeah, have a look, have a hold. What's on your, erm...?

0:08:440:08:48

Can I do something I've never, ever done before?

0:08:480:08:51

-We like the sound of this.

-Bid me.

0:08:510:08:53

-How about that?

-Tenner!

0:08:530:08:54

SERIOUSLY bid me!

0:08:550:08:57

What have you got on that?

0:08:570:09:00

I'll let you have that for 30 quid.

0:09:000:09:02

30 quid.

0:09:020:09:03

Well, at auction, I would be looking at paying £20 for that.

0:09:030:09:07

-So what are you saying to me?

-Can I have it for 15?

0:09:080:09:11

THEY LAUGH

0:09:110:09:12

-Deal!

-Really?!

-How about that?

0:09:120:09:14

-Fantastic, we'll take it.

-What a star!

0:09:140:09:17

-Thank you very much, sir.

-Good luck.

-Thank you.

0:09:170:09:19

See if you can beat them Reds.

0:09:190:09:21

Thank you. You're a star, thank you.

0:09:210:09:24

There we go, £15. One down, guys.

0:09:240:09:27

-And that's MY choice.

-That's your choice.

0:09:270:09:29

An unconventional bit of bargaining,

0:09:290:09:31

but very effective.

0:09:310:09:33

Well done, Blues. Over to you, Reds.

0:09:330:09:35

Oh, I like that! I would use that to go on holiday with myself.

0:09:350:09:39

-You wouldn't use it.

-I would!

-You wouldn't put it on a budget airline.

0:09:390:09:43

-I would!

-First of all, I imagine you would struggle at 20kg.

0:09:430:09:48

I'd just pay extra to be allowed to walk down with that.

0:09:480:09:51

Have you felt the weight of that? I don't think we can afford the 160.

0:09:510:09:54

No.

0:09:540:09:55

-PHONE RINGS

-Hello?

-Wonder if that's Tim.

0:09:570:10:00

How much is this telephone?

0:10:040:10:05

-65.

-65.

0:10:050:10:08

I love doing a deal on the phone!

0:10:080:10:09

I think it's a lovely thing,

0:10:110:10:12

but it might be a little bit on the rich side for us at auction.

0:10:120:10:15

Is there any more that you can knock off?

0:10:150:10:16

No, love, I can't, not even for you.

0:10:160:10:18

-Can I put it down now?

-Yes, OK.

0:10:180:10:21

-All right then, bye!

-Bye!

0:10:210:10:22

SHE LAUGHS

0:10:240:10:25

-That was surreal.

-That was incredibly daft.

0:10:250:10:28

Yup!

0:10:280:10:30

As a last resort, if we're struggling,

0:10:300:10:32

-we can always come back to it. Is that OK?

-Yeah.

0:10:320:10:34

-Is that a plan?

-That's a plan, I think, yeah. That's a cunning plan.

0:10:340:10:37

Decisive, isn't he? Lovely to chat on the phone.

0:10:370:10:40

Speak to you again.

0:10:400:10:41

Back with the Reds, time is of the essence.

0:10:430:10:46

There's quite a nice watch there. It's a military one.

0:10:460:10:49

-Which one's that?

-With the broad arrow.

0:10:490:10:51

-Do you want to have a look at that?

-Yeah.

0:10:510:10:53

Can we have a look at the watch, the military issue watch? Thank you.

0:10:530:10:57

So, it's HMT, so that's the maker.

0:10:580:11:01

It's a 17 jewelled military watch, so it's a proper watch,

0:11:010:11:05

probably 1970s, 1960s/1970s.

0:11:050:11:07

-What do you think?

-I think that's quite nice.

0:11:070:11:10

Have you got any other military watches?

0:11:100:11:12

That's interesting - a pink face!

0:11:120:11:15

It might be naval or maritime.

0:11:150:11:17

When the red light goes on,

0:11:170:11:18

if it was a red light against a black face, you wouldn't see it.

0:11:180:11:22

But against the pink and the green, the light definition...

0:11:220:11:25

-Which one do you prefer?

-I prefer the pink one.

0:11:250:11:28

I think you should prefer the pink one.

0:11:280:11:29

It's £38. What's the best you can do on that?

0:11:300:11:33

Alan, the best on your military watch?

0:11:330:11:36

-Hello.

-What have we got on it?

0:11:360:11:38

You've got 38 on it. Have you done any research on the pink and green?

0:11:380:11:41

-It's Indian military.

-It's Indian military?

-Yes, it is.

0:11:410:11:45

-See, it's on the back.

-So what's the best on that?

-35.

-35.

0:11:450:11:50

-You couldn't do it for 30?

-33.

0:11:500:11:52

-Go on, do it for 30.

-No, no, 33.

0:11:520:11:55

33, your final price?

0:11:550:11:56

-Yeah, definitely.

-What do you think?

0:11:560:11:59

-I like it, I think we should go for it.

-Done.

0:12:000:12:02

-First item, within 15 minutes.

-Yaay!

-Thank you.

0:12:040:12:06

Well done, mates - a timely first buy and it's pretty in pink.

0:12:080:12:12

Back with the Blues,

0:12:120:12:13

and something suitably robust for butcher boy Simon.

0:12:130:12:17

Looks like an old cheese slicer or something.

0:12:170:12:20

It is, absolutely, an old cheese cutter here.

0:12:200:12:22

You've got your enamelled base here.

0:12:220:12:24

Gosh, it's substantial!

0:12:240:12:26

You've got, obviously, the marble here,

0:12:260:12:29

which will keep the cheese cold, and then your slice in there.

0:12:290:12:33

That's rather lovely, isn't it? A Parnall of Bristol cheese cutter.

0:12:330:12:37

THEY GASP

0:12:370:12:39

At auction, I...

0:12:390:12:40

You'd have to cut a lot of cheese for that.

0:12:400:12:42

Yeah, and I see that at £80-120, really.

0:12:420:12:44

Would it work in the butcher's?

0:12:440:12:46

That'd be an absolute feature in the butcher's shop.

0:12:460:12:48

-So we just need to find another butcher that might like it as well?

-THEY LAUGH

0:12:480:12:52

I reckon that's '70s, '60s, is that right?

0:12:520:12:55

Oh, no, I'd say earlier.

0:12:550:12:57

Yeah, looking at the branding on there,

0:12:570:12:59

-I would say that's quite 1930s, 1940s.

-Really?

0:12:590:13:02

I would say so. I might be wrong. Sir, is this your cheese cutter?

0:13:020:13:05

-It is, yeah.

-I would have said that was 1930s/1940s, am I about right?

0:13:050:13:10

-Yeah, original...

-This looks like it's the original marble, as well.

0:13:100:13:13

-The enamel, I would expect...

-Cast iron.

0:13:130:13:15

Oh, is it cast iron? And then enamelled. No wonder it's heavy.

0:13:150:13:18

You can't pick that up. Not with two hands.

0:13:180:13:21

-Trust me, guys, trust me.

-Hang on a minute.

0:13:220:13:24

-Let's prove him wrong.

-No, you're not lifting it off the table.

0:13:240:13:28

I love a challenge.

0:13:280:13:30

SHE GROANS

0:13:320:13:34

-See? See?

-You're stronger than you think.

-My kind of woman.

0:13:340:13:37

It is actually very heavy!

0:13:370:13:39

Oh, I do love a challenge.

0:13:400:13:41

-There we go. I like that.

-I like that.

0:13:410:13:44

-But I don't like it at that price.

-No.

-For 120?

0:13:440:13:47

Could you do it bang on 100?

0:13:490:13:51

-120 is absolute, honest.

-Can we squeeze to 115?

0:13:510:13:54

Can we squeeze to 110, perhaps?

0:13:540:13:57

I'm going to say 115 and shake your hand.

0:13:570:14:00

Should we do it for 115?

0:14:000:14:02

-Over to you.

-Go for it?

-Let's do it.

0:14:020:14:05

-115, cheers.

-If nothing else, it's a good ship's anchor.

0:14:050:14:08

Thank you very much!

0:14:080:14:10

Wahey! That's the Blues' second buy.

0:14:150:14:19

Now, want to see something really unusual?

0:14:190:14:22

I guarantee you that 99.9% of the audience today

0:14:240:14:30

will never have seen an object quite like this.

0:14:300:14:34

Why? Cos I reckon

0:14:340:14:36

it is a one-off.

0:14:360:14:39

Where does it come from? Well, the hint is in the carving.

0:14:390:14:43

If you look at this carved hardwood frame,

0:14:430:14:46

it is profusely covered with running animals

0:14:460:14:50

and trails of foliage all boldly carved into a hardwood

0:14:500:14:54

and that is an indication that it comes from northwest India.

0:14:540:14:59

We're talking about the moment of the British Raj,

0:14:590:15:02

probably around about 1870, 1890, something like that.

0:15:020:15:08

And, at first glance, it's remarkably similar

0:15:080:15:11

to a European, probably British-made, tantalus.

0:15:110:15:16

That is, as you know, a lockable frame

0:15:160:15:18

that contains two or three bottles of alcohol.

0:15:180:15:23

And, indeed, that's what this is - a form of Anglo-Indian tantalus.

0:15:230:15:29

We've got a hasp here

0:15:290:15:32

and the hasp has an Indian-made padlock.

0:15:320:15:36

The padlock has no key.

0:15:360:15:39

Anyway, look a bit closer and you'll find it hasn't got a keyhole.

0:15:390:15:43

So, if I had a key, I wouldn't be able to put it in and unlock it.

0:15:430:15:47

Give that bar that looks like a keyhole cover a tweak, though,

0:15:470:15:51

like that... Hey presto!

0:15:510:15:54

The metal hasp opens and the padlock is released.

0:15:540:15:58

We can now open the frame like that, that comes up vertically,

0:15:580:16:02

and then the two containers can be released.

0:16:020:16:06

These are made of brass in the manner of Benares brass.

0:16:060:16:10

You can remove the cover like that, and if you look inside

0:16:100:16:14

you can see that it's all been hammered out from within

0:16:140:16:17

and the purpose of the two containers I reckon is for tea.

0:16:170:16:23

So what we have here is a chai box with two different types of tea,

0:16:230:16:27

but capable of being locked up.

0:16:270:16:29

The other fun thing is the price

0:16:290:16:32

because it could be yours today here for £100.

0:16:320:16:36

And on another day, in another place,

0:16:360:16:39

there's nothing to stop this thing bringing between £200 and £400.

0:16:390:16:43

Back with the shopping and, with just one item left to buy,

0:16:450:16:49

the Blues are really giving it some hammer.

0:16:490:16:51

Yeah, that might be the only golden gavel we see in this room.

0:16:530:16:57

The Reds, on the other hand,

0:16:570:16:58

seem to have been a little slower off the blocks.

0:16:580:17:00

So, we're halfway, we've bought one item, we've spent £33 -

0:17:000:17:05

-it's pretty pathetic.

-It is, isn't it?

0:17:050:17:08

It's really bad form.

0:17:080:17:09

-But it's fine cos good things come to those who wait.

-I hope so!

0:17:090:17:13

-I really like your optimism. Is she always like this?

-Yeah.

0:17:130:17:17

-Full of hope?

-Yeah.

-And when it all goes...?

-We can do it.

0:17:170:17:20

-We've got half an hour, we can do it.

-Let's go.

-Toys now.

0:17:200:17:24

Down here, follow me.

0:17:240:17:25

I like your spirit, girls.

0:17:250:17:27

Meanwhile, the Blues are having an Austin Powers moment.

0:17:270:17:30

-I like that a lot.

-That's got a really good look to it.

-Hi.

0:17:300:17:35

-How retro is that?

-Ooh!

-It's a bit worse for wear there.

0:17:350:17:39

Be careful cos the leather is peeling ever so slightly there.

0:17:390:17:42

Yeah, I mean it's iconic, isn't it?

0:17:420:17:45

So, plastic, this wonderful leather,

0:17:450:17:46

especially the contrast of the colours, it's very 1960s.

0:17:460:17:50

-What do you think? Do you love it enough to risk £100 on it?

-No.

-No?

0:17:500:17:54

OK, let's move on.

0:17:540:17:56

Well, that's cleared that up.

0:17:560:17:57

I'm loving my boys.

0:17:570:17:59

I'm sad that we haven't got anything for Darren yet,

0:17:590:18:02

and he's such a quirky individual

0:18:020:18:03

that I want to get something that reflects his character.

0:18:030:18:06

And he wants something vintage and collectible,

0:18:060:18:08

but it is still within living memory, the mid-20th century,

0:18:080:18:11

so it's a bit of a narrower market.

0:18:110:18:13

We'll find something, I'm sure.

0:18:130:18:15

I'm sure you will, Christina.

0:18:150:18:17

Back with the Reds

0:18:170:18:19

and all this shopping is child's play for the girls.

0:18:190:18:21

So, here we are, there's loads of toys here.

0:18:230:18:25

These are real traditional tin plate toys.

0:18:250:18:28

I do like the Piggy because I have a pug and I call him Piggy.

0:18:280:18:32

-Right, OK.

-That could go along with that.

0:18:320:18:36

-And it's got a box.

-I like it.

-He's got a box.

0:18:360:18:38

-And I do like the pig frying a little egg.

-Frying an egg, yeah.

0:18:380:18:41

At least he's not frying bacon, that would all be a bit wrong.

0:18:410:18:45

-That would be a bit weird!

-This is a Japanese toy from the 1960s.

0:18:450:18:48

-THEY LAUGH

-That is awesome.

0:18:500:18:53

Look at him, the little...

0:18:530:18:55

Ooh! Flick!

0:18:550:18:56

THEY LAUGH

0:18:560:18:59

-I think that's quite funny.

-I love that.

0:18:590:19:02

I do love it.

0:19:020:19:03

The reason why this is so good is because of Japanese engineering.

0:19:030:19:06

In the 1960s,

0:19:060:19:08

they really pushed the boundaries of toy manufacture with tin plate

0:19:080:19:11

by doing amazing robot toys,

0:19:110:19:13

and they make mega, mega money, these space toys.

0:19:130:19:16

So then they went to another market and looked at toys ALL children

0:19:160:19:19

could play with, girls and boys, and hence we have the Piggy Cook.

0:19:190:19:24

You've got 120 on him.

0:19:240:19:26

-Could do 105 on that one.

-105?

-Yeah.

0:19:260:19:29

I would really like to look at two figures.

0:19:290:19:32

105, 106?

0:19:320:19:34

No, no. Let's think about starting with a 9 in front of it.

0:19:340:19:37

-Let's put a 9 at the end of it - 99.

-99?

-Yes!

0:19:390:19:44

97 and you've got a deal.

0:19:440:19:46

-97 it is.

-Shall we do it?

0:19:460:19:49

-Yeah, go on, then.

-I love it.

0:19:490:19:52

I think it's great fun. You've got the box.

0:19:520:19:54

Cos we are weird, we are quirky and that just proves...

0:19:540:19:58

Doesn't sell us well, does it? "We're weird!"

0:19:580:20:01

You're not that weird!

0:20:010:20:04

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you.

-Pleasure doing business, good luck.

0:20:040:20:07

-Thank you.

-Good luck to you.

0:20:070:20:09

Let's hope it brings home the bacon, eh, Reds?

0:20:090:20:11

So, 25 minutes left, girls, and one item to find.

0:20:110:20:15

-We're looking for a piece of furniture.

-A nice item of furniture.

0:20:150:20:19

-I like that.

-I like that.

0:20:260:20:28

Well, it's called a Carolean style after Queen Caroline.

0:20:280:20:32

You've the carved scrolls

0:20:320:20:35

and the barley twist or like a tapered twist on the back rail,

0:20:350:20:40

and the top rail at the top you've got that shell and scroll.

0:20:400:20:43

I don't like the burgundy, it doesn't do it for me,

0:20:430:20:46

-but I can see the quality in it.

-Yeah.

0:20:460:20:48

-Shall we find out how much it is?

-Yeah.

-I'll find out, you stay there.

0:20:480:20:53

While Thomas checks out the chair,

0:20:530:20:55

Christina's found something that might turn a profit.

0:20:550:20:58

So, I think this is quite cool, look.

0:20:580:21:00

You spin it round and round and round,

0:21:000:21:02

and then there's a little ball that drops into there

0:21:020:21:05

and it goes "Whee!"

0:21:050:21:06

I think there's three balls missing.

0:21:060:21:09

Does it really matter that there's balls missing?

0:21:090:21:12

I don't think so.

0:21:120:21:13

-But look, see? Still working.

-I like that.

-Great fun.

0:21:130:21:17

All these kids these days, they're all like this all the time,

0:21:170:21:21

head down and into their things.

0:21:210:21:24

Well, you know...

0:21:240:21:27

But you prefer the phone. I'm feeling guilty now.

0:21:270:21:30

-Don't feel guilty. Pressurise him.

-I'm easily persuaded.

0:21:300:21:34

I tell you what, we'll go for this. I'm warming to it.

0:21:340:21:38

-SHE WHISPERS:

-Shh, don't tell him things like that.

0:21:380:21:41

-But I'll only have it for 20.

-We don't like it that much.

0:21:410:21:44

It's got 35 on it now.

0:21:440:21:45

Surely there's a bit more of a margin in it than that, isn't there?

0:21:450:21:49

20.

0:21:490:21:51

18?

0:21:510:21:53

-No, definitely not.

-Are you sure?

0:21:530:21:55

-I paid £20 for it, so...

-£19 then?

0:21:550:21:58

No, you can't do that.

0:21:580:22:00

-I'm not losing money.

-No, I don't blame you.

0:22:000:22:02

I think it's a bit of fun, isn't it?

0:22:020:22:04

We have got time, do you want to keep looking?

0:22:040:22:07

-Yeah.

-Keep looking?

-Yeah.

-We've got just over ten minutes.

0:22:070:22:10

I am going to stand by this and make sure nobody buys it.

0:22:100:22:14

You go and find something.

0:22:140:22:16

Go, go, go, go.

0:22:160:22:18

Oh, I like your style, Christina.

0:22:180:22:21

OK, Thomas, we're on the edge of our seats. What's the news on the chair?

0:22:210:22:25

-Right.

-Good news?

-Come on, tell us.

0:22:250:22:27

Well, we can afford it.

0:22:270:22:29

-We can easily afford it. That's always a nice thing, isn't it?

-Yeah.

0:22:290:22:33

It's stained oak, 19th century.

0:22:330:22:37

She said, "Can you give us a tenner?" on what she bought for it,

0:22:370:22:41

and she bought it for 75, therefore she wants us to pay 85 for it.

0:22:410:22:46

-What do you reckon?

-It's quite a statement piece.

0:22:460:22:49

It does stand out.

0:22:490:22:51

I'd put it at the top of my dinner table

0:22:510:22:53

so I could sit on it and feel special.

0:22:530:22:55

We came here today to buy things that we wouldn't necessarily buy.

0:22:550:22:59

You've bought military, a toy and a piece of furniture, carved.

0:22:590:23:03

-I think we should go for it.

-Yeah, do it.

0:23:030:23:07

-Would you go for it?

-Yeah, I really like it.

-So that's it.

0:23:070:23:10

Done, bought, three items -

0:23:100:23:12

-it's been manic.

-It has.

0:23:120:23:15

It's been manic!

0:23:150:23:16

Well done, Reds. Now, with just five minutes left,

0:23:160:23:19

have those Blues spotted anything else?

0:23:190:23:22

SHE WHISTLES

0:23:220:23:24

-40. Hello.

-Hello.

0:23:250:23:28

-It's a lovely piece that, isn't it?

-It is.

0:23:280:23:30

Have you found anything?

0:23:300:23:32

He loves it. He absolutely loves it now.

0:23:320:23:35

-No, you don't. Do you?

-Yeah.

0:23:350:23:38

You can't bully him into buying something.

0:23:380:23:41

He said to me no more free hog roasts unless I buy this.

0:23:410:23:46

Are we going for...?

0:23:460:23:47

-We are going for the tombola.

-Tombola.

-Yes.

0:23:470:23:50

-Is that number three done and dusted?

-It is indeed.

0:23:500:23:52

£20? You're a gentleman. Thank you.

0:23:520:23:54

-Thank you very much.

-It's done!

0:23:540:23:57

-CHIMING

-Time's up.

0:23:570:23:59

-Let's have a well-deserved cup of tea.

-Yeah.

0:23:590:24:02

-A stiff drink.

-Let's do it.

0:24:020:24:04

-Well done.

-Thanks, Christina. Really enjoyed that.

0:24:040:24:07

Great work.

0:24:070:24:09

OK, teams. Stop monkeying about.

0:24:090:24:11

Let's check out what the Red Team bought.

0:24:110:24:13

They were all fired up about this military wrist watch,

0:24:150:24:18

bought for £33.

0:24:180:24:19

They flipped over this tin plate toy for £97.

0:24:210:24:25

And, finally, they hope they'll be sitting pretty with

0:24:250:24:28

this 19th century carved oak chair for £85.

0:24:280:24:32

You may be young, but you certainly know what you want, right?

0:24:340:24:36

-We do.

-We do.

0:24:360:24:38

Now, Dominique, which is your favourite piece, please?

0:24:380:24:41

The piggy.

0:24:410:24:43

-We bought a piggy cook.

-That's your favourite-favourite?

-Yes.

0:24:430:24:46

-What about you, Eloise?

-I actually quite liked that as well.

0:24:460:24:50

But, obviously, my decision was the chair,

0:24:500:24:52

so that has to be my favourite.

0:24:520:24:54

And is your chair going to bring the biggest profit?

0:24:540:24:57

I think the watch that we chose is going to be the biggest profit.

0:24:570:24:59

Which is the thing that is going to bring the biggest profit?

0:24:590:25:02

Possibly the watch.

0:25:020:25:03

OK, so you are thinking, really, the watch is going to be your best

0:25:030:25:06

profit making potential. That's what I want to hear.

0:25:060:25:10

-Now, how much did you spend?

-215.

-215?

-Yep.

0:25:100:25:14

I would like, please, £85 of left-over lolly.

0:25:140:25:17

-There we go, I've got that.

-Right, that's good. Tom, a reasonable sum?

0:25:170:25:21

-It's a reasonable sum.

-Something for you to get your teeth into.

0:25:210:25:24

You need to buy something really good.

0:25:240:25:25

-You've got a lot of weight on your shoulders.

-A lot of weight.

0:25:250:25:28

-I want to impress you two and buy a good thing.

-Yes.

-Good.

0:25:280:25:31

-Well, don't overstrain yourself.

-I won't.

0:25:310:25:34

Anyway, thank you very much, Tom.

0:25:340:25:35

Why don't we, in the meanwhile, check out what the Blue Team bought?

0:25:350:25:39

They started out small and dainty

0:25:390:25:41

with this Edwardian ladies jar, prettily priced at £15.

0:25:410:25:44

Next, something really cutting edge

0:25:470:25:49

- a vintage cheese slicer, bought for £115.

0:25:490:25:53

And it all turned out all right in the end

0:25:530:25:55

with this tombola game for a round £20.

0:25:550:25:58

Well, Darren, it was a disaster

0:25:590:26:01

not finding what you were looking for, right?

0:26:010:26:03

Nothing here for me, I'm afraid.

0:26:030:26:05

But for you, Si, pure bliss.

0:26:050:26:07

-I've had a great day.

-You've had a brilliant time.

0:26:070:26:09

THEY LAUGH

0:26:090:26:11

OK, now tell me, which is your favourite piece?

0:26:110:26:14

My favourite piece has got to be the cheese slicer for me.

0:26:140:26:17

-Cheese slicer for you.

-Same for me, I love it.

0:26:170:26:20

We have unanimity there.

0:26:200:26:22

And is that going to bring the biggest profit?

0:26:220:26:25

I feel the silver item will give us the biggest profit.

0:26:250:26:28

OK, silver biggest profit. Do you agree with that?

0:26:280:26:31

-No, tombola. The tombola machine.

-Really? Cos it's quirky, right?

0:26:310:26:35

-Indeed.

-And you like a wager?

-Occasionally.

-Occasionally.

0:26:350:26:38

All right, fine.

0:26:380:26:39

-And how much did you spend, all told?

-150.

0:26:390:26:43

I'd like £150 of left-over lolly, please.

0:26:430:26:45

-Absolutely. It's all there, Tim.

-Thank you very much.

0:26:450:26:48

No need to count it, I trust you, you're a butcher.

0:26:480:26:51

-Over we go then to my friend.

-Thank you kindly.

0:26:510:26:54

Are you feeling skilful today, Christina?

0:26:540:26:56

I am. I'd really like to get something for you.

0:26:560:26:58

I really want to get something cos we didn't really find

0:26:580:27:01

anything that really floated your boat.

0:27:010:27:03

You're going to go shopping for Darren now?

0:27:030:27:05

I'm going to go shopping for Darren

0:27:050:27:07

and I'm going to get your proverbial boat floating.

0:27:070:27:10

No greater love hath an expert

0:27:100:27:12

for a contestant than to go shopping for you.

0:27:120:27:15

-Exactly.

-How sweet is that?

-I will do my best.

0:27:150:27:17

OK, good luck with that, Christina.

0:27:170:27:19

You'll have to go quickly, though, because we're heading off to the auction.

0:27:190:27:22

Well, well, well, Richard Winterton.

0:27:320:27:35

To be back in Lichfield, pure bliss, at Richard Winterton Auctioneers.

0:27:350:27:39

I'm delighted to have you.

0:27:390:27:41

Well, we're very pleased to be here. Now, the Reds have gone a bit weird.

0:27:410:27:44

Their first item is the military style wrist watch.

0:27:440:27:48

I don't know about you,

0:27:480:27:49

but I don't find many military watches with pink dials.

0:27:490:27:52

No, and with all watches we always have the backs off

0:27:520:27:55

and have them checked, every single watch.

0:27:550:27:58

Even the ones that say, "Made in India" on them?

0:27:580:28:00

Which is exactly where that is made.

0:28:000:28:02

Because that's what it says on the back.

0:28:020:28:04

But you still check it, everything has to be checked.

0:28:040:28:07

Ah, very good.

0:28:070:28:08

How much, then, for the Indian style military watch with the pink dial?

0:28:080:28:12

-20-30.

-OK, fine. £33 was paid.

0:28:120:28:15

Next is the Yonezawa tin plate toy.

0:28:150:28:19

-It's got the box.

-So it's made in Japan.

0:28:190:28:21

It has been sold quite a few times in different various auctions

0:28:210:28:25

up and down the country, and they're usually around

0:28:250:28:28

the same price for virtually every single one of them.

0:28:280:28:31

-And what would that be, for frying up an egg?

-£20-30.

0:28:310:28:34

Is that all? £97 they paid.

0:28:340:28:36

-Oh!

-But not a chance, eh?

-No.

0:28:360:28:39

Now we've got a carved side chair.

0:28:390:28:41

Which is just the sort of thing that I think is probably

0:28:410:28:44

-quite difficult to sell.

-It is.

0:28:440:28:45

It's got quite a bit of work to it, it's not a boring chair.

0:28:450:28:49

I know it's dark, but it has got a little bit going for it.

0:28:490:28:51

OK, fine, if you like those twiddly bits. How much?

0:28:510:28:55

30-40.

0:28:550:28:56

-£85 they paid.

-Well.

0:28:560:28:57

Well, we've got some huge losses here.

0:28:570:29:00

They're going to need their bonus buy, big time.

0:29:000:29:02

Let's go and have a look at it.

0:29:020:29:03

Now, Dominique, Eloise, this is your moment.

0:29:030:29:07

£85 you gave Tom-Tom, in the way of left-over lolly.

0:29:070:29:10

Tom, what did you spend it on?

0:29:100:29:11

Well, something I think is very pretty.

0:29:110:29:14

It's a little gold broach-cum-pendant

0:29:140:29:18

with sea pearls in here.

0:29:180:29:20

You can either wear it as a little drop or you can pin it

0:29:200:29:24

on your jacket or on your top.

0:29:240:29:26

But these are proper gold in here. 14 carat gold.

0:29:260:29:29

It's a real beautiful, understated...

0:29:290:29:31

Very delicate.

0:29:310:29:33

-..delicate, like you two.

-Obviously.

0:29:330:29:36

Do you want to take it out, have a little feel?

0:29:360:29:39

-It goes well with your nails.

-Look at those nails.

0:29:390:29:42

Look at those nails.

0:29:420:29:44

Immensely expensive.

0:29:440:29:45

And it's gold and you had £85, so it can't be more than £85.

0:29:450:29:48

No, no, not £85. Not even close to £85.

0:29:480:29:51

-55?

-Not even 55.

-35.

0:29:510:29:55

-Not even 35.

-What?

0:29:550:29:57

-20?

-£20.

-£20?!

-It's quality.

0:29:570:30:00

-I mean, what do you think about that?

-It's nice.

0:30:000:30:03

-I think it's good, well done.

-I really like it.

0:30:030:30:05

How much do you think, profit?

0:30:050:30:06

Well, it's got to make a £10 profit.

0:30:060:30:09

It's got to be £30-40.

0:30:090:30:12

-You've scored a hit there, Tom.

-Well done.

-Thank you.

0:30:120:30:15

Don't pick now. Why don't we find out, though,

0:30:150:30:17

for the audience at home,

0:30:170:30:18

what the auctioneer thinks about Tom's broach?

0:30:180:30:20

There you go, Richard. It's like a mini halo.

0:30:200:30:24

-There we go.

-Yes.

0:30:240:30:25

Don't know if this is going to get them out of trouble.

0:30:250:30:28

Well, the thing is that only £20 was invested by Thomas Plant,

0:30:280:30:32

so he's not gone big time. But it is gold, apparently, 14k.

0:30:320:30:35

-It is gold, and checked.

-And it's got a ring of pearls on it.

0:30:350:30:39

So it's a sweet little broach for not a lot of money.

0:30:390:30:41

-It's the circle of life, though, isn't it?

-And it's 30-40.

0:30:410:30:45

Oh, well, that's the important thing. Well done, Thomas.

0:30:450:30:48

That's it for the Reds.

0:30:480:30:49

Now, for the Blues, the silver topped pot, by Comyns.

0:30:490:30:53

-Silver.

-Yeah. Good.

0:30:530:30:55

And if you're missing something out of your lovely boxed

0:30:550:30:59

dressing table set, then great.

0:30:590:31:01

Yeah, you're away, aren't you?

0:31:010:31:03

But if you haven't got a missing part it's not worth very much.

0:31:030:31:09

-OK, like how much?

-£10.

0:31:090:31:12

Perfect. They paid £15 for a silver topped pot.

0:31:120:31:15

They'll be fine with that. OK.

0:31:150:31:16

Much more dodgy, though, is this cutter,

0:31:160:31:19

which I guess is for cheese, is it?,

0:31:190:31:21

You say dodgy, I quite like this.

0:31:210:31:24

-Do you?

-Yeah, I do. Because this sort of look is in at the moment.

0:31:240:31:28

-This kind of industrial kind of look.

-Catering.

0:31:280:31:31

-Yeah, it's got something about it.

-How much?

0:31:310:31:34

-I know I've built it up, big time.

-You have. So give it your big shove.

0:31:340:31:39

40-50.

0:31:390:31:40

THEY LAUGH

0:31:400:31:41

That's pathetic after all of that.

0:31:410:31:44

Look at the marble there, man.

0:31:440:31:46

So you like it now you're looking at it?

0:31:460:31:48

-I don't like it at all, but it's £115 they paid.

-Oh.

0:31:480:31:52

You don't like it any more, do you?

0:31:520:31:54

-Well it's hard cheese on them, isn't it?

-Yeah.

0:31:540:31:56

What about this fellow? Your tombola ball selector.

0:31:560:32:00

Now this would be great if it had all the balls in it,

0:32:000:32:04

-which it doesn't.

-Doesn't it?

-It's missing a few.

0:32:040:32:07

-Have you been counting these balls?

-No.

-One of your chaps?

0:32:070:32:10

Yeah, I certainly haven't, but it is missing one or two.

0:32:100:32:13

Three, to be precise.

0:32:130:32:15

Please don't ask me which numbers, I can't remember.

0:32:150:32:17

I don't know, but there's three missing.

0:32:170:32:19

-What do you think it's worth?

-20-30.

0:32:190:32:22

-OK, they paid £20.

-OK.

0:32:220:32:23

So that's very cool, isn't it, really?

0:32:230:32:25

The big number, though, is that cheese cutter,

0:32:250:32:27

because if you're right and they're wrong

0:32:270:32:30

they are in for serious bad times.

0:32:300:32:33

They're going to need the bonus buy, so let us go have a look at it.

0:32:330:32:37

Now, Simon, Darren, this is exciting.

0:32:370:32:39

£150 you spent, which is magnificent.

0:32:390:32:41

You gave Christina £150

0:32:410:32:43

and, apparently, you bought something quite chunky.

0:32:430:32:45

-In fact, three little chunks.

-I did.

0:32:450:32:48

How did I miss them?

0:32:500:32:51

How did you miss them? We did look at a chair, didn't we?

0:32:510:32:55

We did, we looked at a few.

0:32:550:32:57

These are a set of three Charles and Ray Eames.

0:32:570:33:00

-Have you heard of Eames?

-Yeah, '50s.

-Obviously, yeah, absolutely.

0:33:000:33:04

An American couple who are really credited with being

0:33:040:33:07

the most influential designers of the 20th century.

0:33:070:33:10

So, a set of three chairs upholstered in

0:33:100:33:13

what I'm reliably informed are bikini covers.

0:33:130:33:16

Because they look like a bikini.

0:33:160:33:17

You probably want to go to the front to see that though.

0:33:170:33:20

-But, do you like them?

-They're fabulous, yeah.

0:33:200:33:23

They're absolutely superb, yeah. I'd have them in my house.

0:33:230:33:26

So they're not actually original Eames?

0:33:260:33:29

No, original Eames, they would have been a lot of money.

0:33:290:33:31

They've got the look, though, haven't they?

0:33:310:33:33

They've got the style and they don't need

0:33:330:33:35

anything doing to them, they're ready to go.

0:33:350:33:37

So how much did they actually cost, then?

0:33:370:33:39

They cost me £80 for the three.

0:33:390:33:42

Wow! That's good!

0:33:420:33:45

That's pretty cool, isn't it?

0:33:450:33:47

-Personally, I'd have paid a lot more for them.

-I think so, yes.

0:33:470:33:50

-Spectacular buy, I'd say.

-Good, there we go.

0:33:500:33:52

-Approval from the master.

-That's what we want, isn't it?

-Screams profit at us.

0:33:520:33:56

-She's done very well, again.

-I think she's done very well.

0:33:560:33:59

OK, everybody's happy. You don't pick now, you pick later.

0:33:590:34:02

Why don't we find out

0:34:020:34:03

whether these three chairs would be the pick of our auctioneer?

0:34:030:34:08

So, Christina had the £150 and look what she bought.

0:34:080:34:12

For the younger, trendy setting sort of type out of there,

0:34:120:34:18

-they're the sort of thing that sell really well.

-Many in Lichfield?

0:34:180:34:21

We don't have many chairs come through like that, I have to say.

0:34:210:34:25

Or trendy people. I think we've got quite a few.

0:34:250:34:27

The trendy people.

0:34:290:34:30

Yeah, you've got a few style trends here.

0:34:300:34:33

I think we're quite good.

0:34:330:34:34

Very stylish, lovely.

0:34:340:34:36

How much for the three?

0:34:360:34:38

100-120.

0:34:380:34:39

Good, good, good. Christina paid 80 for the three.

0:34:390:34:42

And £80 for the three, grubby or not, is not a lot of money.

0:34:420:34:46

No, it's got to be £30 a chair, got to be.

0:34:460:34:48

-Ought to be, shouldn't it?

-Yeah.

0:34:480:34:50

Because, of course, Charles and Ray Eames are an acquired taste.

0:34:500:34:53

And, talking of taste, you'll be taking the sale in a minute, won't you?

0:34:530:34:56

-I will indeed.

-Then we're about to have a tasteful offering.

0:34:560:34:59

At £8, at £8, no-one else coming in at £8?

0:35:010:35:04

708, thank you.

0:35:060:35:08

-Now, Dominique and Eloise, are you excited about this?

-BOTH: Yes.

0:35:080:35:12

I mean, this sale room is jam-packed, right?

0:35:120:35:14

You could not get a sheet of lavatory paper

0:35:140:35:16

-between the people in this room.

-You really couldn't.

0:35:160:35:18

You really couldn't, could you?

0:35:180:35:20

And, probably, they're jammed in here to buy your lots, right?

0:35:200:35:23

-Hopefully. Fingers crossed.

-That is the optimistic route.

0:35:230:35:25

The first item is your military watch with a pink dial,

0:35:250:35:28

and here it comes.

0:35:280:35:29

Here we go, to the watch, £2 to start me. Little watch.

0:35:290:35:32

-£2 I'm bid on internet.

-Two?

0:35:320:35:34

£8 in the room. £10 on the internet.

0:35:340:35:37

£10 I'm bid. 15 in the room.

0:35:370:35:39

Oh, my God. It's a purple watch.

0:35:390:35:42

25 in the room. 25 on my left.

0:35:420:35:45

25 I'm bid. 25 I'm bid.

0:35:450:35:48

On my left at 25. All done.

0:35:480:35:50

Sold then at 25.

0:35:500:35:52

£25. That is minus £8. Oh, dear.

0:35:520:35:56

OK, it's not too bad, minus £8

0:35:560:35:58

OK. Now, Piggy Cook.

0:35:580:36:00

The boxer tin plate there. Commission bids on the lot.

0:36:000:36:03

£20 I'm bid, £20.

0:36:030:36:06

-25, £30.

-Who's got taste round here?

0:36:060:36:08

£30 I'm bid, £30.

0:36:080:36:10

£30 I'm bid, £30.

0:36:100:36:11

-At £30.

-Oh.

-I can't bear this.

0:36:110:36:14

Internet, you're out. £30 I'm bid.

0:36:140:36:16

It flips so wonderfully.

0:36:160:36:18

And sold at £30.

0:36:180:36:20

Goes at 30.

0:36:200:36:22

£30, I'm afraid, is minus £67, kids.

0:36:220:36:24

-Oh, my God.

-Yeah, which is minus 75 overall.

0:36:240:36:28

OK. Hang on a minute. Here comes your chair.

0:36:280:36:31

It's the oak side chair, 1535.

0:36:310:36:34

£10 I'm bid,

0:36:340:36:36

and 15, £20 at the very back.

0:36:360:36:38

£20 I'm bid, £20 I'm bid.

0:36:380:36:40

Very back at £20,

0:36:400:36:41

£20, £20, £20, £20.

0:36:410:36:43

You're all out.

0:36:430:36:45

Sold then, at £20.

0:36:450:36:47

£20 is minus £65...

0:36:480:36:51

I'm afraid that's 80, plus 60 is minus 140.

0:36:520:36:56

-Oh, my God.

-Triple figure loss, that's not very clever.

0:36:560:36:59

That's actually nearly what we've spent.

0:36:590:37:02

No, you spent £215, but it's not brilliant.

0:37:020:37:05

So what are we going to do about the pendant?

0:37:050:37:07

Yeah. I don't think it's going to...

0:37:070:37:09

The die is cast for going with the bonus buy and here it comes.

0:37:090:37:12

There's the little broach pendant. Lot 1539.

0:37:120:37:15

And sold at £25. Yours it is.

0:37:370:37:39

£25. You have plus £5 there, Tom, well done.

0:37:390:37:42

Which means, girls, if you can keep smiling, you are minus 135.

0:37:420:37:48

Woo-hoo.

0:37:480:37:50

Woo-hoo.

0:37:500:37:51

Team work!

0:37:510:37:53

That's what I love, is optimism.

0:37:530:37:55

Which might be a winning score, mightn't it? Be positive.

0:37:550:37:58

-Yeah, yeah.

-You never know.

0:37:580:37:59

-Now, chaps how you feeling?

-We're feeling confident.

0:38:050:38:08

-Now listen, do you know how the Reds got on?

-Haven't got a clue.

0:38:080:38:11

You don't want to know, I tell you.

0:38:110:38:13

Right, here comes the lidded pot.

0:38:130:38:14

Little silver lidded, glass cosmetic jar.

0:38:460:38:47

Now look out for the cheese cutter.

Bid me another and I'll tell you the three balls that are missing.

0:40:020:40:05

-LAUGHTER

0:40:050:40:08

Can't be fairer that that.

0:40:080:40:10

Oh, no! Now they all know!

0:40:120:40:16

We tried. £25, sold at 25.

0:40:160:40:21

-It's a profit.

-He could have waited a bit longer.

0:40:210:40:24

£5 profit. So, overall, you are now minus 30.

0:40:240:40:29

So are you going to with these chairs, then?

0:40:290:40:32

And hope that Lichfield's up for it?

0:40:320:40:34

-Definitely.

-Absolutely, without a doubt.

0:40:340:40:37

Are you absolutely sure?

0:40:370:40:39

Because they might be brilliant, they might bomb.

0:40:390:40:41

-Christina, we've got faith in you, my dear.

-Oh, no, don't do that.

0:40:410:40:45

They're the absolute bones, they're lovely.

0:40:450:40:47

-Really?

0:41:120:41:14

-That's the fella.

-Brilliant.

-Superb.

0:41:140:41:16

Which is plus £50.

0:41:160:41:18

-Brilliant.

-That is a £50 profit. Well done, Christina.

0:41:180:41:21

-That was quite nerve-racking.

-That's superb.

0:41:210:41:24

You made £50 profit on that, you had £30 losses before.

0:41:240:41:27

This girl has taken you to a plus £20 situation. How cool is that?

0:41:270:41:31

Well done, Christina.

0:41:310:41:33

Which may mean that you have a winning score.

0:41:330:41:35

On the other hand, you may not.

0:41:350:41:37

-You keep that lucky hat on.

-It's all in my head.

0:41:370:41:41

All will be revealed in a moment.

0:41:410:41:43

-Well, well, well. Was that fun or was it fun?

-It was fun.

0:41:490:41:52

It was excellent fun. Thank you very much.

0:41:520:41:54

Now, we don't have losers any more on Bargain Hunt,

0:41:540:41:57

we only have runners up,

0:41:570:41:58

and the runners up today by a considerable margin are...

0:41:580:42:01

the Reds.

0:42:010:42:02

No surprise there, girls, really, is there?

0:42:030:42:05

Minus £135 is quite a number, isn't it?

0:42:050:42:09

The only star on the horizon was the pearl broach,

0:42:090:42:12

which made a £5 profit,

0:42:120:42:14

-and I don't think we should talk about the rest much, do you?

-No.

0:42:140:42:17

-What I do want to know is, did you have a nice time?

-We did, yes.

0:42:170:42:20

-You did.

-Good fun.

0:42:200:42:22

And thank you very much for joining us cos it's been great.

0:42:220:42:25

But the winners today are substantial winners because

0:42:250:42:28

they go home with money, they go home with £20,

0:42:280:42:31

£10 for the dressing table pot, that's very fair

0:42:310:42:35

and a fiver for the tombola game and the principle contributor

0:42:350:42:40

was Christina with her Eames chairs,

0:42:400:42:43

which made a profit of £50, which basically bailed you guys out.

0:42:430:42:47

So hail Christina, that's all I can say.

0:42:470:42:50

Anyway congratulation for that and you've had a nice time chaps?
