0:00:04 > 0:00:08Bargain Hunt has come to the cathedral city of Peterborough,
0:00:08 > 0:00:10the largest city in Cambridgeshire.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13With a population of over 180,000,
0:00:13 > 0:00:16it is Britain's fastest-growing city.
0:00:16 > 0:00:21Today, I'm in the hot seat hoping to see profits boom
0:00:21 > 0:00:25as we have a right belter of a show for you.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:55 > 0:01:00Described in 1774 in Gentleman's Magazine as England's smallest
0:01:00 > 0:01:03city, Peterborough had at that time
0:01:03 > 0:01:06a population of under 3,000.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12But in the early 20th century, railways and a booming brick
0:01:12 > 0:01:16industry saw the city's population increase tenfold.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20So let's hope today's teams grow with profit
0:01:20 > 0:01:24and don't decline with loss. Let's look at what's coming up.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29The Reds find real ammunition for their chance of a profit.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- It's a bomb.- It's a bit pricey. - It's a bomb!
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Whilst the Blues are in a buoyant mood.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- How are you feeling?- Very confident, to be honest.- Yeah, yeah.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44- You're feeling confident, are you? Yeah.- That's good.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47And things get exciting on the auction room floor.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49- Oh!- Yes!- Profit, girls.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54But first, let's meet today's teams.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01For the Red team we have partners Helen and Karen
0:02:01 > 0:02:04and for the Blue, Tom and Elliott.
0:02:04 > 0:02:05Welcome all.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- Hi there.- Hi.- Hi.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Now, you ladies share a Disney obsession.
0:02:11 > 0:02:16I've always loved Disney and I've been to America and Euro Disney.
0:02:16 > 0:02:21The latest time was only earlier this year with my nieces and the family.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- But you work in the health service. - I do.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27That's a pretty serious type of job.
0:02:27 > 0:02:32But your hobby is absolutely and totally flibbertigibbet.
0:02:32 > 0:02:37Tell me about your pampering and your shopaholicism.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41- I have about 200 pairs of shoes, a whole room.- 200 pairs of shoes?!
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Yeah. Yes, terrible, isn't it?
0:02:43 > 0:02:47I've got a whole room and every wardrobe in the house
0:02:47 > 0:02:48and she is always telling me off.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Right, now, Karen,
0:02:50 > 0:02:53you used to work in the health service
0:02:53 > 0:02:55which is where you met Helen.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58But you're also very arty. Tell me about that.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00I just like drawing cartoons,
0:03:00 > 0:03:03and mainly it's Disney and I do it for my nieces.
0:03:03 > 0:03:08- But you're also a keen collector of Star Wars.- Star Wars Lego, yeah.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13I collect it all from the '70s which is becoming quite valuable
0:03:13 > 0:03:16now right up until today.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Well, I can tell that you girls are going to have a splendid time
0:03:19 > 0:03:23today shopping at Peterborough but what is your team strategy?
0:03:23 > 0:03:27- Bling, bit of colour. - Who's going to do the bargaining?
0:03:27 > 0:03:29I'll probably bargain but she'll tell me what it is
0:03:29 > 0:03:31I've got a bargain for.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Oh, right, well, that sounds like a good team there as long as you
0:03:34 > 0:03:36both know what you're doing, girls.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38And now to the Blues.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42Now, Tom and Elliott. Is it fair to say that you're bezzie mates?
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- Definitely.- Definitely. - How long have you known one another?
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- Since year seven, 11 years old. - 11 years.
0:03:48 > 0:03:54Tom, you've recently graduated from university where you studied drama.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Are you thinking of a career in acting?
0:03:57 > 0:04:01Well, it's been a passion of mine since a very young age.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04It started out as mainly theatrical stuff
0:04:04 > 0:04:06and then I was an extra on Waterloo Road.
0:04:06 > 0:04:12- So you might be a future Brad Pitt? - Yeah.- Or George Clooney.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- Can I get your autograph...? - I'm the next James Bond.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16The next James Bond!
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Now, Elliott, tell me what you do for a living.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22At the moment, I just work in a technical support call centre
0:04:22 > 0:04:25helping people out with their home phone and broadband issues.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28You're probably the sort of guy that I would phone up and say,
0:04:28 > 0:04:31"My telly's broken," and you would talk me through it or
0:04:31 > 0:04:34if my phone was needing something. Is that the sort of thing you do?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Yeah, that's spot on, that's definitely what I do.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40- But you're an artistic type of chap as well.- Definitely.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42And you enjoy video games.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Is it possible to combine these things and build into a career?
0:04:45 > 0:04:49Not only do I like playing video games, I like to create them too.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50So it all comes into one.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54What are your tactics going to be to win today?
0:04:54 > 0:04:59- Just go out and buy unique things. Unique.- Brothers that we are.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Ah, right, OK. So you're never going to fall out over what you buy.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06And now the money moment, guys. £300 each.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08There you are.
0:05:08 > 0:05:13Your expert awaits. Off you go and very, very, very good luck.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15And may the force be with them.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19MUSIC: Star Wars Main Title
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Making sure that teams don't cross over to the dark side
0:05:22 > 0:05:24today are our experts.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Hoping to blow the competition across the universe,
0:05:27 > 0:05:31for the Reds it's our cuddly Chewbacca, Phil Serrell.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33HE IMITATES CHEWBACCA'S CALL
0:05:33 > 0:05:35And striking back for the Blues
0:05:35 > 0:05:38it is our resident Hans Solo, Mark Stacey.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Any plans, K and H? H and K?
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- Quirky, functional. - Quirky, functional.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Now, have you got any plan for what you want to buy?
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- We've got a little bit of a plan. - A little bit of a plan.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Are you going to share it with me and the nation?
0:05:53 > 0:05:57We sort of want to go for things that look like...
0:05:57 > 0:05:59- Look modern. - ..unique but are very aged.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00Right.
0:06:00 > 0:06:05- And you?- A bit of glass or silver. A bit of colour, really.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07- You know that this is an antiques based programme?- Yes.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Good, I just thought I'd clarify that.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13And we're looking for something colourful and quirky. Come on.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- Let's start, shall we? - Yeah, definitely.- Get buying.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17WHISTLE BLOWS
0:06:17 > 0:06:19And they're off, the race is on.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22And what's this?
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Have the Reds already found a way of peddling ahead?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27I like the push-bike as well. Do you like the push-bike?
0:06:27 > 0:06:31- Yeah, let's have a look.- Because it's wine, that's why you like that.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- It's sold.- Oh, that's a blow, isn't it?
0:06:33 > 0:06:35It is, because that actually was quite good.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Sold, too bad, Reds. That has put the brakes on an early buy.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45- Well, at least one thing, the sun has come out.- Yeah.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47It only shines on the righteous, they tell me.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50Right you are, Blues.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53But this is about shopping for antiques, not enjoying
0:06:53 > 0:06:56the weather and the Reds aren't hanging about to catch the rays.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00Now, H and K, I quite like that.
0:07:00 > 0:07:05Now, actually, I have to tell you, so do I. I've not seen one like that.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Well, the dealer said the best he could do it for is £120.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09Let's just have a good look at it.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Let me just go and have a look at it.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13It's just quite sweet, it's just a little shop.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17But I think that, in my eyes, at auction...
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Would it make £120?
0:07:19 > 0:07:20- No.- £60-£80.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22She's good this girl, isn't she? She's on fire.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- She's on fire. On fire, she is. - On fire.- I would say that.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Let's come back and have a think about it. Don't rule it out.
0:07:29 > 0:07:34So the Reds leave the shop behind and move on with their own shop.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37I always find quite quirky items sell well at auction.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40I mean, this looks like a little miniature chest of drawers
0:07:40 > 0:07:42but actually when you open it up, it's a box.
0:07:42 > 0:07:47What I would like to call it is an unusual tea caddy.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50You know, tea was very expensive until recent times,
0:07:50 > 0:07:53so if you had tea in your house,
0:07:53 > 0:07:55you'd want to keep it locked up from your servants.
0:07:55 > 0:07:56Now, it needs a good clean,
0:07:56 > 0:08:00all this will clean up but it's got an interesting look about it.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Yeah, it's got, like... It looks like it's got some story about it.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05It does, doesn't it?
0:08:05 > 0:08:07And it's only priced up at £45.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10So if we can get that down a bit, I think
0:08:10 > 0:08:12there might be a profit in that and it's a good-looking item.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15I quite... I think it's quite nice.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- Shall I ask him what he can do on it?- Yeah, definitely. Why not? Yeah.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21What could you do on that for us? I mean, it has been repaired.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- What have you got on there? £45? - £45.- What about £65?
0:08:24 > 0:08:26THEY LAUGH
0:08:26 > 0:08:28- What about 30 quid? - Give us £35 and we've got a deal.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31That's the best I can do. £35 and it's yours.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33- I was thinking about £30. - I was thinking that.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35If you go £35, I'll throw in a bit of bubble wrap and a bag.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37THEY LAUGH
0:08:37 > 0:08:39It won't cost you any more.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41- Do you like it?- Yeah, it's nice. Yeah, it's cool.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- I think it's interesting, actually. - A little stab in the dark.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46- Shall we do that?- Yeah, definitely.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- Let's shake the gentleman's hand at £35, yes?- Yes.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50- Sold.- Thanks for the deal.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Sold.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56The Blues have been canny and picked a tea caddy for their first item.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Time to pick up the pace, Reds.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- You know what, we've had ten minutes.- Really?- Already?
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- I think we need a plan. - We need a plan.- We need a plan.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06- A cunning plan.- We need to walk a bit quicker, I think, ladies.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08That's the answer.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11So, you've got one buy down.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14We're about ten minutes in and you've still got an awful
0:09:14 > 0:09:17lot of money left. How are you feeling?
0:09:17 > 0:09:21- Very confident, to be honest.- Good, yeah.- You're feeling confident?
0:09:21 > 0:09:22That's good.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25So whilst the Blues edge confidently ahead,
0:09:25 > 0:09:27the Reds seemed to be up against it.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31- How much is that trolley, please? - That's £225, that one.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32OK, not to worry.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Out of your price range, Reds.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38It looks like both teams have tastes bigger than their budgets.
0:09:38 > 0:09:43- Right, Tom, what did you spot that you liked?- There was this box here.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45I think it's got a very interesting story about it. You can
0:09:45 > 0:09:48- see that it's very aged. - I think this is probably...
0:09:48 > 0:09:53Certainly 19th century. And it's silver and tortoiseshell.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- It'll be expensive. - It will be expensive.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59I think it's £650. Is that right? So that's well out of our budget.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- You can put that straight back down. - THEY LAUGH
0:10:02 > 0:10:04- Sold.- Oh, sold.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- About 18th century.- Oh.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11Deja vu, Reds. I think we've been here before.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14So far, we're just showing that we've got too expensive taste
0:10:14 > 0:10:16and we haven't got the money to go with it.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18You're trying to buy champagne on beer money.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- That's the one.- This is right. Right.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- What about an old laundry basket, does that grab you?- Where is it?
0:10:23 > 0:10:25You could take in washing, if nothing else.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29- Excuse me, how much is the basket? - It's sold, sorry, sir.- Oh, sold.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33That's another problem we're having is things are sold, aren't they?
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Never mind. Onward and upward.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38That's the Bargain Hunt spirit, Karen.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40I was just looking at this...
0:10:40 > 0:10:42This little letter opener with the greyhound on it.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44It's got some markings on the side there, can you see?
0:10:44 > 0:10:46- It's called a hallmark. - Yeah, that's it.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50So that shows the silver, you see. Well done. Well spotted there.
0:10:50 > 0:10:55- It's quirky.- It is quirky, yeah. - We like quirky, don't we?- Yeah.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57- Again, it's quite a lot of money, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58It's a lot of money, yeah.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02£125. Sorry, guys. I don't want to stop you looking but...
0:11:03 > 0:11:06You might be barking up the wrong tree there, gents.
0:11:09 > 0:11:10But what's this?
0:11:10 > 0:11:14Have the Reds found old way of closing the distance on the Blues?
0:11:14 > 0:11:17- I think that's lovely.- No, I think that's really nice too, actually.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19- It's different.- I have to say, I don't understand it.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23- The auction is in...- It's in Stamford, isn't it?- In Stamford.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25I wonder if Stamford is on there.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28It is indeed, Stamford is on there.
0:11:28 > 0:11:29There we are, look.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31You see, Stamford is there
0:11:31 > 0:11:34and I took it to mean that's 44 1/2 miles, I thought,
0:11:34 > 0:11:35from Northampton.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38It's something that would have been given away
0:11:38 > 0:11:39in the '40s and '50s.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43And you've got all the different Northampton retailers who are
0:11:43 > 0:11:46around the side and it basically just gives you
0:11:46 > 0:11:49an indication of how far various different routes are.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52I think that's quite fun, that.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- It's different, isn't it?- I wouldn't have a clue what that was worth.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59- What could you do that for for us? - £35 to you.- £35?
0:11:59 > 0:12:02- That's the finito, done...? Yeah? - It's well worth it.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03- Is it?- I quite like that.- Yeah.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07You wouldn't go to £30 for two desperate women, would you?
0:12:07 > 0:12:09You can leave me out of this one because...
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- Get me a cup of coffee, you can have it for £30.- Go on, then.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14There you are. Thank you. How lovely.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16It would've cost, folded up, two bob.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17Excellent.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19So you've just bought that for £30.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22I think you've done really, well. I like that. Well done, ladies.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24- Thank you.- And more importantly, thank you
0:12:24 > 0:12:25for looking after us. Thank you.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Much appreciated.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29I'll shake your hand, too, specially.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31The Reds have their first buy
0:12:31 > 0:12:34and are well and truly off on their journey.
0:12:34 > 0:12:35NEEDLE SCRATCHES ACROSS RECORD
0:12:35 > 0:12:39- You're the good-looking chap what's on the telly.- Thank you.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- You get that a lot? - 'All the time, Tom.'
0:12:42 > 0:12:45I think this was made in Czechoslovakia.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48So these are the sort of Eastern Bloc versions of Danish
0:12:48 > 0:12:50design in the '50s and '60s
0:12:50 > 0:12:53but there's a set of six of them and they are really quite funky.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Would it be something you're interested in buying,
0:12:55 > 0:12:57- do you think? - I don't...- I wouldn't.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Shall we move on then? If you're not interested in that.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04There's no time for sitting around on Bargain Hunt, Mark.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08- They're old.- So, they are. With my NHS background, of course.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- This could be interesting. - Couldn't it just? Look out.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15This was somebody a hell of a lot taller than me.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17You'll want a stepladder to get into them.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20No support from your team-mates there, Helen.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Walk on, Reds. Time is ticking.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- Guys, I've got to warn you, we're 26 minutes in already.- Right.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29And we've only found one item for £35.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Does she go wandering off a lot?
0:13:33 > 0:13:34KAREN LAUGHS
0:13:34 > 0:13:35Yes.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- Now, you've got to stop wandering off, you.- I'm sorry.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41- Rein yourself in, girl. Rein yourself in.- I'm a right wanderer.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44So with Helen back on board, it's still neck and neck
0:13:44 > 0:13:47but are the Reds about to ride ahead of the Blues?
0:13:47 > 0:13:51I quite like that carousel sign at the end.
0:13:51 > 0:13:52Oh, I do like it...
0:13:52 > 0:13:54You said you wanted colourful.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58We were looking for a sign so it's not too dissimilar.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02In my eyes, that at auction is going to make £80 to £100.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04So I think if you gave any more than £100 for it,
0:14:04 > 0:14:06you really are chancing your arm.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- And if this lady could do it for 100 quid, well...- No.- No.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11- Well, there you go. - What would be your best?
0:14:11 > 0:14:12I'll do £120 on it for you.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Do you want to have a look at it and see what you think?
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- Come and have a look cos the colour's white.- Yes.
0:14:17 > 0:14:22- That's really different, isn't it? - This particular piece is off the...
0:14:22 > 0:14:24- Is it off the dodgems? - Dodgems.- Dodgems, yeah.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28- That's either on the end of someone's bed or a headboard.- Yeah.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30And it's a really cool, funky thing but the thing is,
0:14:30 > 0:14:32you've got to, sort of...
0:14:32 > 0:14:34You've almost got to plant the seed
0:14:34 > 0:14:36with someone as to what they can do with it.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38- What do you think? - Would you take £100 for it?
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Over £100. I'd take £105, £110.
0:14:41 > 0:14:42£105?
0:14:42 > 0:14:46- Go on, £105.- That's really kind, thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49- I like it. - Can't say fairer than that.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53So, with item two, that's the ladies waltzing away into the lead.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00And now it's time for me to lead you on a journey back in time to
0:15:00 > 0:15:03show you something every Victorian lady couldn't be without.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12So, what do you think this is?
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Well, I'm going to tell you.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18In the 1860s, before the time of handbags,
0:15:18 > 0:15:22a gal would have worn these on her belt, on a chatelaine,
0:15:22 > 0:15:28and from there dangled chains. And you would hang your necessities.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32Now, a chatelaine was originally worn by housekeepers
0:15:32 > 0:15:34where they caught their bits and pieces.
0:15:34 > 0:15:39But by the 1860s it became a decorative item.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Now, this is a little scent bottle.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46It's in the shape of a horseshoe
0:15:46 > 0:15:50and the horseshoe is studded with little enamelled squares
0:15:50 > 0:15:56but what makes it so charming is that the lid is a little
0:15:56 > 0:15:58enamelled jockey's cap.
0:15:58 > 0:16:03It was made by Henry William Dee, one of the most prestigious London
0:16:03 > 0:16:08silversmiths who was renowned for making quirky objects.
0:16:08 > 0:16:13He appealed to the whimsical in the English nature.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17The gal that was going to wear that type of thing would wear
0:16:17 > 0:16:18it to the races.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21It was a conversation piece,
0:16:21 > 0:16:25it was a piece that would bring interest to her slim waist.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28She would have had on her chatelaine, along with that,
0:16:28 > 0:16:31a little notepad, a pencil and perhaps a purse
0:16:31 > 0:16:34with some coins for her bet.
0:16:34 > 0:16:39So, perhaps after the race she might dab a little perfume on to
0:16:39 > 0:16:44make herself alluring and attract the attention of a wealthy suitor.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47So, how much would a rare
0:16:47 > 0:16:50and unusual object like this cost today?
0:16:50 > 0:16:54You might be lucky enough to get it for £400
0:16:54 > 0:16:59and that's not dear for the price of a thoroughbred like this.
0:17:07 > 0:17:08Back to the shopping.
0:17:08 > 0:17:13So 30 minutes have gone and the Red team have only one item left to buy.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15What will catch their eye?
0:17:15 > 0:17:18- I think bling.- Bling.- Bit of bling.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21What do you mean by bling then, Karen?
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Bit of sparkle, bit of silver.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25You want a bit of sparkle, a bit of silver.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29- Look at that bomb.- Oh, that's definitely different, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32- Can see that in your garden with plants in.- What do you think?
0:17:32 > 0:17:35I'm not sure that that would qualify as bling to me, really.
0:17:35 > 0:17:36THEY LAUGH
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- It's a bomb.- How much? - One and a half, £150.
0:17:39 > 0:17:40Is that your best?
0:17:40 > 0:17:42£140 if you buy it.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45I'm not sure we'd make that, do you, Philip?
0:17:45 > 0:17:471964 backwards, they are.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50You can use it as an uplight, you can put lights on it,
0:17:50 > 0:17:52put a piece of Perspex on there.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54- Mark IVs.- I've never sold a bomb.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58- No, I've never seen one. - Could you go any better?
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Two really good-looking women like me and her.
0:18:00 > 0:18:01Go on.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03£145.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05- That's going upwards! - You're going the wrong way.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- Why do you want some of that rascal?- I am.
0:18:08 > 0:18:09£120.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- £120 will buy it. Go on, then. - I'm out of this here.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- I'm out of this. - £120.- Yeah.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19'Philip isn't convinced.'
0:18:19 > 0:18:20Can we just recap here?
0:18:20 > 0:18:24- So we want something that is colourful...- Yeah.- Glass.- Yeah.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26- Or silver and blingy.- Yeah.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28And you've bought a bomb.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31That has left Philip a little shellshocked.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34It was all going wonderfully well when I was involved in this.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- You might actually do all right with that.- I like it.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42- It's different, isn't it?- I like it. It's different.- It's different.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Congratulations, ladies.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46On that bombshell,
0:18:46 > 0:18:48the Reds have bought all three items.
0:18:48 > 0:18:54So, 35 minutes gone and we've spent £255 which, by my reckoning,
0:18:54 > 0:18:59leaves me £45 and I reckon there is just a little bit of money
0:18:59 > 0:19:02and a little bit of time to indulge ourselves in an ice cream,
0:19:02 > 0:19:04- what do you reckon?- Yeah. - Oh, that sounds good to me.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Come on, let's go and get one.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10While the Reds slope away early for some refreshments, the Blues still
0:19:10 > 0:19:15need two items that could this be a flicker of hope in front of them?
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- What do you think that is? - Not too sure of, to be honest.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- I've got no idea.- It looks a bit like a candlestick, doesn't it?
0:19:21 > 0:19:24- Yeah, it does.- Yeah. - I love these Gothic influences.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26You know, that could come straight from the Houses of Parliament,
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- couldn't it?- Yes, definitely, yeah.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31You know, the shape of the Gothic tracery but this has
0:19:31 > 0:19:35something which you'd never know unless you've handled
0:19:35 > 0:19:39one before and basically this'll be quite fragile.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43That would have been a fan, sadly perished.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47- It's quite interesting. - What's it made out of?- It's brass.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49- Brass.- It's gilded brass.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52I would probably put £50-£80 on it as an estimate.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55So if we could get it for a reasonable price, if the dealer
0:19:55 > 0:19:58wants to get shot of it, as it were, then we can try
0:19:58 > 0:20:00and negotiate with him a bit.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- I'd give it a go, yeah.- Use your charms on him.- Hi, there.- Hi, there.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05What sort of price? It says £65 on the label.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07£55.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10It's been guessed that the lowest it probably sells at about £50.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14Yeah, I could do it for £50. But that's it. I'm really there then.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- Are you happy with that? I think it's good.- I love it.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20It's good, it's quality. It's quality.
0:20:20 > 0:20:21It deserves to make a profit,
0:20:21 > 0:20:24I can't guarantee it will but it does deserve to.
0:20:24 > 0:20:25Definitely. I think we should give it a go.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28You might have a minute left for the third if we carry on. Well done.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Quick, get looking.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Get looking indeed, Blues.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35The Reds are lapping this up.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Do you know what, I think we've got them licked.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40So do I.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41Cheers.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43After a confident start,
0:20:43 > 0:20:46time is beginning to run away from the Blues.
0:20:46 > 0:20:51They've only got five minutes left and still have one item to buy.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54This could all go wrong yet. Come on, gents.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56You wanted something different, didn't you?
0:20:56 > 0:20:59What about these apothecary jars?
0:20:59 > 0:21:01- They're strange. - Are they all a set or...?
0:21:01 > 0:21:03I don't think they're all a set, I mean,
0:21:03 > 0:21:05those are slightly different, these are smaller.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07- A set of old...- Pharmacy bottles.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10I use the correct terminology, apothecary bottles.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12So, you know, they are quite fun
0:21:12 > 0:21:15and people are collecting these sort of things now.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19- There are big gamble for £120. - Well, we haven't negotiated yet.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- Do you want to go and ask, Elliott?- Yeah, we can.
0:21:22 > 0:21:23Why do you go and ask see...
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Just wondering what's your best price?
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- £90, that's the best I can do. - £90.- It's a big set.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32I've spoken to the owner, she says the best price that she
0:21:32 > 0:21:34could give us for the bottles are about £90.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Oh, I think that's probably a little much, actually.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39I would say I want to go...
0:21:39 > 0:21:43- I think I would estimate them at £60 to £100 or something.- Right.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46So I'll probably need a drug when I finish to calm my nerves.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Well there is some left in those so it might be handy.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51I'll get another fiver off them, that's it.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55That's as a goodwill but, you know, it really is a goodwill gesture.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58I mean, you've got about two and a half minutes left here.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00You can prevaricate... Don't look at me
0:22:00 > 0:22:03because I am not even going to suggest what we should do.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05- Let's do it, let's do it. - Shake hands then.
0:22:05 > 0:22:06- Thank you.- Thank you very much.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Thank very much. Thank you.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Now, come on. I need some sort of elixir.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14SHE TOOTS
0:22:14 > 0:22:19Time's up, let's remind ourselves how the Reds got on.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23Helen and Karen hope to map out a profit with a 1930s
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Rapid Route Indicator bought for £30.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29They had all the fun of the fair with a colourful
0:22:29 > 0:22:33balustrade for £105.
0:22:33 > 0:22:38And they blew £120 on a tail unit from a British bomb.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41You girls have got big smiles on your faces,
0:22:41 > 0:22:43did you have a wonderful time?
0:22:43 > 0:22:46- Oh, it was really good. - So, what's your favourite item?
0:22:47 > 0:22:53Mine, I think, is the piece of fairground memorabilia.
0:22:53 > 0:22:54My one is the bomb, I love the bomb.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57But what's going to make the biggest profit?
0:22:57 > 0:23:01- Probably the one he picked.- The map.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Not that we want to make him feel big-headed but I think it will.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08What, Phil Serrell big-headed? Impossible!
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Right, girls, how much money did you spend?
0:23:10 > 0:23:12£255.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14I am proud of you, I'm proud of you.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19£45. Right, lovely. OK, Phil.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22£45, I know you should be able to do something with that.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Well, do you know what? I'm going to go and find something
0:23:25 > 0:23:27that will prop us up.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30And meanwhile, let's look at what the Blues bought.
0:23:30 > 0:23:35The Blues teed off with a brass tea caddy for £35.
0:23:35 > 0:23:40They struck a deal of £50 for a Gothic brass candle screen
0:23:40 > 0:23:44and prescribed themselves a medicinal marvel with
0:23:44 > 0:23:48a collection of glass apothecary bottles for £85.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Was that easy-peasy, boys?
0:23:50 > 0:23:54- It was harder than we thought it was going to be.- Oh, right.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56What's your favourite item?
0:23:56 > 0:24:01My favourite item is the fan holder, it's made out of brass.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03I think it's quite nice, it's got a good design to it.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06And my favourite item, it's where you put tea,
0:24:06 > 0:24:10it's like a little cabinet thing that you open with a lock and you put...
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Oh, right. Which item is going to make most profit?
0:24:12 > 0:24:15I think my item will make a lot but I also think your item will.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18- Right, OK.- The third item is a bit...
0:24:18 > 0:24:21- We don't know yet.- All right, OK.
0:24:21 > 0:24:27So it's all a mystery and it's all to play for. Oh, yes, sounds great.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29So how much did you spend in total?
0:24:29 > 0:24:33- £170.- £170. So will you hand over £130?
0:24:33 > 0:24:36- I'd count it as well, definitely. - Would you?
0:24:36 > 0:24:37THEY LAUGH
0:24:37 > 0:24:39I trust you. Mark, £130.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41That is a reasonable amount of dosh.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44- Are you going to spend it all? - Oh, Anita, you know me.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47I don't like to make rash promises but what I will
0:24:47 > 0:24:52guarantee is they want something unique, I'll find something unique.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Meanwhile, let's see what the auctioneer thinks.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08Today we're at Batemans Auctioneers in Stamford
0:25:08 > 0:25:10with auctioneer David Palmer.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14- David, it's absolutely lovely to be here.- Hi.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18For my Reds, I have an empty table.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21And everything is behind me.
0:25:21 > 0:25:28Now, first up is the 1930s Rapid Route Indicator
0:25:28 > 0:25:30from the Northampton area.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32I've come across these type of posters before and there's
0:25:32 > 0:25:36probably only been however many, 15 or 20 posters printed, and that's it.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40- Oh, that's make them rare. - Indeed it does. Very rare.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42But does that make them desirable?
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Well, I think that's quite decorative, don't you?
0:25:44 > 0:25:46It would hang in a shop, in a house, anything.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Now, what's your estimate on it?
0:25:48 > 0:25:51- We've estimated it £30-£50. - Yeah, well, that's not bad.
0:25:51 > 0:25:52They paid £30.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56- Oh, well good. - Yeah. Interesting item.
0:25:56 > 0:26:01Now, our next thing is, and I personally have fallen in love
0:26:01 > 0:26:06with this, a painted wooden balustrade from a fairground ride.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10Do you find this glamorous, exotic and exciting?
0:26:10 > 0:26:11It'll be exciting
0:26:11 > 0:26:14if two or three showmen turn up wanting their balustrade back.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16But it is unusual.
0:26:16 > 0:26:21And there's a wonderful motif here with this sort of winged
0:26:21 > 0:26:22affair at the bottom.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25It's quite psychedelic that, isn't it? Very '60s.
0:26:25 > 0:26:26What's your estimate on it?
0:26:26 > 0:26:29We have estimated it at £20-£40.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Oh, well they've paid a lot more than that.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33They've paid £105.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37Our next one, is it going to explode into profit or is it just
0:26:37 > 0:26:39going to bomb?
0:26:39 > 0:26:40I think this is brilliant.
0:26:40 > 0:26:45You could make it into a lamp, you could put a tabletop on there,
0:26:45 > 0:26:48it's got massive potential as a decorative item.
0:26:48 > 0:26:53- I like it.- Yeah, well, I'm happy that you like it, David.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56I mean, it's got something about it. It's quirky.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59This the kind of thing that a bloke would have in his study
0:26:59 > 0:27:02or, as I believe the Americans call it, a man cave.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08You like it. How much do you think it's going to make?
0:27:08 > 0:27:11- We have estimated it at £80-£120. - Oh, well, that's not bad.
0:27:11 > 0:27:17They've paid £120 for it and if we get your top estimate or even more,
0:27:17 > 0:27:18we might make a profit.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22So, our first and third item we're quite hopeful with
0:27:22 > 0:27:25but it's this balustrade which might get them into trouble.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29- Definitely.- In which case, they're going to need their bonus buy.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31So let's have a look at it.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36You spent £255. Not bad,
0:27:36 > 0:27:40- but you are a wee shopaholic, aren't you?- I am. I am.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44£255. You've given Phil £45.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48- What has that wild man bought? - Well...
0:27:48 > 0:27:50There are times in your life
0:27:50 > 0:27:51when everybody needs a good crutch.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54THEY LAUGH
0:27:54 > 0:27:58- I recognise those, I liked them.- And so you should.
0:27:58 > 0:28:03- Oh.- They were- £10.- £10? I think they're really cheap.- Yes.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Now, I remember he said £10. I'd have hoped
0:28:06 > 0:28:08you'd have beaten him down a bit more.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10- Really?- Got them for a fiver. - You were wrong.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12THEY LAUGH
0:28:12 > 0:28:14You know I work in the NHS.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17So all I can say is I hope nobody had pinched them
0:28:17 > 0:28:20and hasn't given them back because I could be in deep trouble.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Ask Phil how much he thinks they'll make.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27How much do you think they'll make as you paid the £10?
0:28:27 > 0:28:29- I think they'll make £20 or £30. - Oh, that'd be brill.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32That's what I think. But it doesn't matter what I think.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34You don't have to make up your mind just now
0:28:34 > 0:28:37but now we're going to find out what the auctioneer thinks.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43David, talking about wacky buys,
0:28:43 > 0:28:46what do you think about this pair of old crutches?
0:28:46 > 0:28:48Well, they're the deluxe version.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51You've got the leather strap with a bit of flexing in it.
0:28:51 > 0:28:56You could say that this is...its medical associations might make it
0:28:56 > 0:28:59attractive to people who collect medical instruments
0:28:59 > 0:29:03and that sort of stuff. What's this item going to make?
0:29:03 > 0:29:05If you bought that in kindling, what would it be?
0:29:05 > 0:29:09- A tenner's worth, so £10-£20.- Wow.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Phil only paid a tenner for that so that's the Reds.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14Now over to the Blues.
0:29:14 > 0:29:19Our first item here is this charming little Victorian brass tea caddy.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21I like it a lot. I dispute the tea caddy bit.
0:29:21 > 0:29:26I don't think it's necessarily a tea caddy. It's a lockable chest.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29And with the locking mechanism that's there and the way it's lined,
0:29:29 > 0:29:31I think it's just for jewellery or something like that.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34Yeah, it has a lot of charm.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36People like miniature things
0:29:36 > 0:29:39and I think that this will be attractive to the buyers.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42- I think it's got mass appeal. - What is your estimate on that?
0:29:42 > 0:29:44£30-£50.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Well, they've paid £35 so there is a potential for good
0:29:47 > 0:29:49profit on that item.
0:29:49 > 0:29:56Second item is this William IV Gothic brass candle screen.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00Now, no home should be without one, David. What do you think about that?
0:30:00 > 0:30:03It's, yes, you unscrew the top, the fan comes out
0:30:03 > 0:30:06and screws back in to protect you from the heat of the fire.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08Sold one not so very long ago.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10They make less than you'd expect.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14Because it's beautifully made, the decoration is fantastic.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18- All Gothic work.- A lovely little piece of machinery.- Yeah.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22- And a decorative item. - Typical of its time. Yeah.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24What estimate would you put on that?
0:30:24 > 0:30:28Based on the results we got before and how hard it was to sell then,
0:30:28 > 0:30:33- £20-£40.- They have paid £50 so it's quite a lot of money.
0:30:33 > 0:30:34It is on the top side.
0:30:34 > 0:30:39Now, our third item, an interesting lot again, is this
0:30:39 > 0:30:44quantity of amber glass medicine bottles or chemist's bottles.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46Tell me, do you like these?
0:30:46 > 0:30:47It's a shame they're amber.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49A different colour would...
0:30:49 > 0:30:52- Perhaps blues or greens. - Greens, yeah.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54A mixture of colours would be nice.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57But the labels are there, they're good-looking, they're decorative,
0:30:57 > 0:30:59put them in the kitchen, wherever, bathroom.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01What's your estimate on these?
0:31:01 > 0:31:04- £50-£80.- Well, they paid £85
0:31:04 > 0:31:07so they're paying top estimate on that.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11All in all, we might struggle a little bit with these three.
0:31:11 > 0:31:12It's going to be close.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15But they may need their bonus buy, in which case,
0:31:15 > 0:31:17we're going to have a look at it.
0:31:19 > 0:31:24Now, you spent quite a healthy £170.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27And you've given Mark £130
0:31:27 > 0:31:29and he's got something huge behind him there.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31Show us what you've bought, Mark.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34They wanted something quirky
0:31:34 > 0:31:36- so if you can help me here. - Yeah, sure.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39So I found them something quirky.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42- It's a fishing box.- Right, OK.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44So you can keep all your tackle in there.
0:31:44 > 0:31:48And I love it, it's got all these labels and things on it
0:31:48 > 0:31:52- and I think it's really cool and funky.- It's...- It's nice.- Yeah.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56- You're impressed, aren't you?- Yeah. - I was expecting something small.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58- How much was it?- 80 quid. - 80 quid? Oh, that is...
0:31:58 > 0:32:00And is there a story to it?
0:32:00 > 0:32:03I think it probably dates to the early part of the 20th century
0:32:03 > 0:32:06but these are the sort of things now that are good for decorating
0:32:06 > 0:32:09themed pubs and if you've got a nice big country house, this would
0:32:09 > 0:32:11look lovely in your hunting room.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15Ask him how much he thinks it's going to make.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18How much you think it's going to go for then? Honestly.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Honestly, I couldn't tell. I think it could make hundreds
0:32:21 > 0:32:24but then having said that, it might not.
0:32:24 > 0:32:25THEY LAUGH
0:32:25 > 0:32:28Well, boys, you look as if you're not too sure there
0:32:28 > 0:32:32but you don't have to make up your mind yet.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34But now we'll find out what the auctioneer
0:32:34 > 0:32:37thinks about Mark's old box.
0:32:39 > 0:32:44David, by the magic of television, we have appeared this fishing
0:32:44 > 0:32:48rod box which is already well-travelled.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Tell me, what you think about that?
0:32:50 > 0:32:52I like it, it's interesting.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56We're looking at something late Victorian, Edwardian,
0:32:56 > 0:32:58so a proper guy that travelled around,
0:32:58 > 0:33:02probably went tent pegging in India and all that sort of thing
0:33:02 > 0:33:05and this must have held some expensive rods in its day.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Got the straps on it, all these wonderful labels
0:33:07 > 0:33:09so an interesting artefact.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12David, you like this box. What's the estimate?
0:33:12 > 0:33:15I like it, I can't see great potential.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17- £30-£50.- £30-£50.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19- Well, Mark paid £80 on it.- Oh!
0:33:19 > 0:33:25So maybe a wee bit too much but magic might happen in the auction.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27Will you be on the rostrum?
0:33:27 > 0:33:31I'll be on the rostrum, I'll try and conjure up some bids.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33I'm looking forward to your show.
0:33:34 > 0:33:38£180. £190.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40A famous jug.
0:33:40 > 0:33:46I love your items, you have taken wacky into a new dimension!
0:33:46 > 0:33:50Two of your items are looking really good, girls.
0:33:50 > 0:33:55Your balustrade could disappear down a big colourful hole.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58In which case, you might need your bonus buy.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01You don't need to make up your mind just now, we'll wait until
0:34:01 > 0:34:07your three items have sold and the first one is coming up right now.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Showing up there a really nice piece, this,
0:34:10 > 0:34:11and of local interest.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14Put in £30. £30 for it. The map at £30.
0:34:14 > 0:34:18- £10 then, £10 for the picture. - Oh, come on.- Come on.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20Fiver.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22Come on!
0:34:22 > 0:34:24£5 on the net. Thank you, net. Add £5.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26I sell on the net at £5. £5, take £6.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28Goes then at £5. Is that it?
0:34:28 > 0:34:31Done then at £5. You're all out here.
0:34:31 > 0:34:36Finished and done at a fiver. No advance on £5?
0:34:36 > 0:34:37Oh, never mind. Your next item.
0:34:37 > 0:34:38This is nice.
0:34:38 > 0:34:43Seriously nice with a motif on it and the cut-out balustrades.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Interest in this, let's start at £50. Straight in at £50.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47£50 I am bid. At £50. £55 now.
0:34:47 > 0:34:51- Come on.- Good, good, good. - Take the £60. At £55. £60 anywhere?
0:34:51 > 0:34:56All done at £55? Done and finished at £55 then. No advance on £55?
0:34:56 > 0:35:00Oh, £55. But it was higher than his estimate, girls,
0:35:00 > 0:35:03so it's a lot better than I could have been.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05This is it.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09This is really wonderful, it's the tail unit of a bomb.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11£20 to start. £20 I'm bid.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13£20, £22, £25, £28, £30,
0:35:13 > 0:35:15£32, £35, £38. Here at £38.

0:35:21 > 0:35:24- £95, £100...- I really hate you.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27£110, £120. At £120 now.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30At £120. Blow your socks off, sir. Have another bid.
0:35:30 > 0:35:31- At £120.- Yes!
0:35:31 > 0:35:35At £120, is that it? Done at £120? No-one else?
0:35:35 > 0:35:37At £120, where are you, net?
0:35:37 > 0:35:39At £120... £130 over here.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41- Yes!- New money at £130.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43At £130. Are we all... £140.

0:35:48 > 0:35:49Finished at £150.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52- You brilliant, brilliant woman.- Told you!
0:35:52 > 0:35:55- Well done. - He scoffed at that, Phil.
0:35:55 > 0:35:56You're minus £45.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59- Do you want to go with the bonus buy?- Yes.- Yes.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02- Because I like them crutches. - You like them crutches.
0:36:02 > 0:36:06- We'll go with that. We trust Phil. - Are you both in agreement?- Yeah.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08- Is that the first time?- Today, yes.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11So you're going to go with the bonus buy.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15Phil paid £10 for it and the auctioneer has estimated
0:36:15 > 0:36:19it at £10-£20, so you've got the chance of a profit there.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21- Claw a bit back. - Claw a bit back.- That's it.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Always good to have a pair of underarm crutches
0:36:24 > 0:36:26and the little raily bits are adjustable.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30£10 for a pair of crutches. Tenner. Anyone at £10?
0:36:30 > 0:36:32£5 then. £5 the crutches.
0:36:32 > 0:36:33£5 over here.
0:36:33 > 0:36:34This side at £5. £6.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36£7? £7 in the room. Back in the room at £7.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39Flip the bid. At £7. Then you'll have to go £8.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41- At £7, £8,- £9. We're running!
0:36:41 > 0:36:43- Do we have- £9? Come on!
0:36:43 > 0:36:45Room at £9. £10 on the net. £12 off you, £12 in the room.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47Yeah. Come on, Phil.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50The internet is bidding for our crutches.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53Go £15. Selling at £12. I sell in the room at £12.
0:36:53 > 0:36:54£15 net.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57At £15. £18. In the room at £18 now.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59At £18. Net filling up to £20.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03It's selling in the room at £18.
0:37:03 > 0:37:04Well done, Phil.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08- Clawed a bit back, hasn't it? - Well done, Phil. Well done.
0:37:08 > 0:37:09You're minus £37.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11That could be a winning score.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14But remember, don't say a word to the Blues.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24- How are you feeling?- Excited. - I'm ready.- I'm really excited.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27Are you ready? Not too bad, boys.
0:37:27 > 0:37:31And with a good wind behind the auctioneer's sails,
0:37:31 > 0:37:34we might make a profit.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38But if that fails, we still have Mark's fishing box.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41You don't need to make up your mind just now,
0:37:41 > 0:37:44make up your mind after we've sold your first three lots.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48And your first lot is coming up right now.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52Nice little one this, put in at £20 for it. £20 to start. £20.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54£20 I'm bid. On the net at £20.

0:38:08 > 0:38:12£80. At £85, in at £85.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16Done at £85? At £90. £95. At £95 now.

0:38:18 > 0:38:20£110.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22At £110, £120, £130.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25I knew this was a rare thing and it is a tea caddy.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29£160. At £160. I am selling at £160.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31£170, £180.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33At £180, at £180.
0:38:33 > 0:38:37£190, at £190. Let's hit the £200. At £190.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39Go £200, net.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43Selling at £190. I sell, make no mistake.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45Under-bidder, you are going to lose it for the sake of a tenner.
