0:00:03 > 0:00:06Welcome to Kingston Upon Thames,
0:00:06 > 0:00:08the oldest of the four royal boroughs in England
0:00:08 > 0:00:13and self-proclaimed historic market town. Oh, yes.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16The market here dates back to the 13th century.
0:00:16 > 0:00:22And in 1628, Charles I banned any other market taking place
0:00:22 > 0:00:25within a seven mile radius of this place.
0:00:25 > 0:00:29So with exclusive shopping in mind,
0:00:29 > 0:00:31let's go bargain hunting, yeah!
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Just a few steps away
0:01:00 > 0:01:02from the famous tumbling phone boxes
0:01:02 > 0:01:05is today's treasure trove
0:01:05 > 0:01:06of antiques -
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Kingston Antiques Centre.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13There is plenty of choice inside for our teams to grab a bargain.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17But who will plummet spectacularly?
0:01:17 > 0:01:20And who will rise triumphant?
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Let's find out. Let's take a sneaky peak, eh?
0:01:25 > 0:01:27The Blues are confident.
0:01:27 > 0:01:32- With the way this is going, it is going to have to be champagne.- Oh!
0:01:32 > 0:01:33The Reds are panicking.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35HE YELLS
0:01:35 > 0:01:37- We found a toilet. - Oh, for goodness' sake!
0:01:37 > 0:01:39What am I doing?
0:01:39 > 0:01:43And there are highs and lows at the auction.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44- BOTH: Oh!- Disappointing.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46- You are in profit.- Boys!
0:01:46 > 0:01:47Brilliant.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Well, we have got some top hole teams for you today.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57For the Reds, we've got best chums David and Simon.
0:01:57 > 0:02:02- And Tim and Toby, who are also best chums. Hello, everyone.- ALL: Hello.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Very nice to see you all.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- Now, David, you are a software engineer by trade.- Yes.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Tell us what that means.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13It means that I write software for the internet.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16But you have a charitable spring to your life to, don't you, Davido?
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Yes, I do indeed, Timido.
0:02:19 > 0:02:20Oh!
0:02:20 > 0:02:24Very good. OK, so tell us about your charity.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Well, I help volunteer for the charity that Simon works for.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28And that is how I met Simon, actually.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Simon works for an outdoors pursuits charity.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33So, what sort of things do you get up to
0:02:33 > 0:02:35when you go outside on the charitable jaunts?
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Kayaking, climbing, things like that.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40But you are accompanying the sprogs, that's the point, is it?
0:02:40 > 0:02:41- Yeah, young people.- Brilliant.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44So, Simon, we have heard a bit about the charity you work for,
0:02:44 > 0:02:46tell us some more.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50Well, we are mobile adventure charity, so we go around the country
0:02:50 > 0:02:55doing outdoor pursuits for schools, youth groups, whatever, really.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57You are pretty active in your spare time as well.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00I like snowboarding and anything to do with the mountains, really.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03And kayaking and canoeing, they are kind of my favourite.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05I'm going to give you £300 and you're going to be given
0:03:05 > 0:03:08an hour to go shopping. Have you got any tactics?
0:03:08 > 0:03:12- We are going to buy quirky, I think. - Yeah, definitely quirky.- Weird.
0:03:12 > 0:03:13- Weird.- We are weird.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- OK, fine. Well, good luck with that, chaps.- Thank you.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17This is going to be fun, isn't it?
0:03:17 > 0:03:21Now, Timbo, you are a particularly theatrical chap, I'm told.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23I was a member of the National Theatre Company
0:03:23 > 0:03:25- for 15 years.- Were you?!
0:03:25 > 0:03:30I then became head of drama at Haberdasher's Boys' School.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Now, this theatrical interest of yours
0:03:33 > 0:03:37- leaks into your personal collections a bit, doesn't it?- It does.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39I'm terrible hoarder and collector.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43One of the things that I really enjoy doing is procuring
0:03:43 > 0:03:44props for shows.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47My limited experience as an actor was always the sense of thinking,
0:03:47 > 0:03:49"Wow, what have I got in my hands?"
0:03:49 > 0:03:53And it just makes you become that character in a very realistic way.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Now, Toby, is it as a result of theatre that you two became friends?
0:03:57 > 0:04:00It is, yeah. I mean, I was very, very lucky.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04At my school, we had something called a theatre appreciation society.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Tim, being the theatre buff that he is, was always there.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Went to Oxford, went to university, I used to come down every week or
0:04:11 > 0:04:13so, we used to go and see a show,
0:04:13 > 0:04:17have a meal. That's really how the friendship was born.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Now, your day job now involves a different sort of theatre,
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- doesn't it?- Of sorts. Less of a cutting doctor,
0:04:24 > 0:04:28more of a physician - I work at the Royal Brompton, which is
0:04:28 > 0:04:32a heart and lung specialist hospital in South Kensington.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35I am currently just working in the respiratory side, so looking
0:04:35 > 0:04:39after all the people with weird and wonderful respiratory conditions.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42But is it true that you recently have been elected to the
0:04:42 > 0:04:46- Royal College of Physicians?- Yeah, well, it has been a year now ago,
0:04:46 > 0:04:48but, yeah, it is something that...it's a hoop that everyone
0:04:48 > 0:04:50has to jump through, really.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Don't be modest about it cos now we let it out of the bag.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Everybody will know you are clearly a genius and will do very,
0:04:55 > 0:04:59very well on Bargain Hunt too. But right now, it is time for the money.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- £300 a piece.- Thank you.- You know the rules, your experts await.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06And off you go! And very, very good luck.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Well, thank goodness there is a doctor in the house!
0:05:10 > 0:05:14First up, let's find out who is doing the rounds
0:05:14 > 0:05:15for our teams today.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Keeping things shipshape for the Reds,
0:05:18 > 0:05:19Jonathan Pratt, bless him.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23And on the case for the Blues
0:05:23 > 0:05:24is our consultant.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Now, am I going to have a little drama with you two gents?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Certainly not. No, we are very, very cool.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34We know exactly what we want to do.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36So, Red team, we are all in red today.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40- Yes.- Have you got any idea what you want to get today?- Quirky.- And big.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Quirky and big.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- Something shiny, intricate, beautiful.- Sounds good to me.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50And chocks away! Teams, your 60 minutes starts now.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52TRUMPET SOUNDS
0:05:52 > 0:05:53- Let's go.- Cool.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Get some child labour.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01What, holding up the mug?
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Oh. What is this?
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Oh, wow!
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Look at its face. Its face looks like it has been something horrific.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16I'm gauging from the conversation that you have pretty much
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- no knowledge of antiques. - How did you know(?)
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Oh, dear, Jonathan, you may have your work cut out with these two.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24What about this conch right next to it?
0:06:24 > 0:06:26What, the massive shell?
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- No...- Do we move on a bit?- Let's move on, let's cover some ground.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31We have only gone, like, two feet into this room.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33I know, and we've used five minutes.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Kate, what about this little doctor's bag?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38- Oh, I like the look of that. - That is good.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39Back with the Blues,
0:06:39 > 0:06:42and the good doctor has found something worth examining.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45I can see myself swanning around the wards, stethoscope,
0:06:45 > 0:06:46my sandwiches.
0:06:46 > 0:06:51- Yeah.- I want to see if we can get it open.- Have a go, Tim.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- Oh, there we go.- There we go.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- Oh, OK.- Well, it's not bad. No great fittings, but it's OK.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00- I have seen a lot worse.- Yes.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03I mean, the key with leather bags like this is to check the seams
0:07:03 > 0:07:06are intact, cos that is where the stitching tends to go,
0:07:06 > 0:07:08and the condition of the leather.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09Now, this one looks a little bit dry.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11It just needs a little bit of feeding.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14But essentially, it is not in bad nick.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18I love these designs because of course the designer of the Gladstone
0:07:18 > 0:07:24bag invented this framework which opens up to really expand the bag.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- To get loads in it. - It's a girl's dream.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29You could just pack everything in there.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- It is actually in very good condition, really, isn't it?- Hm.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35Cos that is going to be what, 1930s, '20s possibly?
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Yes. First two decades of the 20th century.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- It would be ideal in the prop store.- Wouldn't it?
0:07:40 > 0:07:43I think we should have it, but maybe... The price is £35.
0:07:43 > 0:07:48- It's the wrong price.- I think, yeah. - What would you pay, Doctor?
0:07:48 > 0:07:51I'd pay £15 to £20, I think. £20.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54There are no flies on you two, that is exactly what I would say.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Hopefully, it might make 30, maybe even 40 at auction.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00- I rather like that.- OK. - Let's give it a go.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Let's see what the best price might be and I'll see you in a sec.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- Keep looking.- Great start, Blues.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14Meanwhile, something fowl - ha - has caught Jonathan's attention.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18- A rather quirky cockerel. - What would you do with that, though?
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- It looks really sassy.- It is quite heavy. You know what?
0:08:21 > 0:08:25- It is a slip moulded pottery figure of a chicken.- Wow.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28But they have poured concrete inside it.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- Should you pour concrete inside it? - It's not the idea, no.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33What I am guessing is they wanted to weigh it down.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36And they have obviously used it as either a doorstop or
0:08:36 > 0:08:37they have had in the garden.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40But it has some age. I mean, it might be 50 years old.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43It has a bit of that sort of '50s kitsch style about it.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46People are going to be put off by the fact that it is filled with concrete?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48They probably will be.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Porcelain poultry with concrete stuffing, Jonathan,
0:08:53 > 0:08:55you should know better. Now, come on, move on.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- And I'll shut up for a while. - OK. Thanks.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02- Hi, guys.- Back with the Blues, and Kate has news from the dealer.
0:09:02 > 0:09:07- They have very kindly come down to £20 for us.- I think...
0:09:07 > 0:09:11I think we go with that. I think we'll go for it. It's a good price.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13I'm really glad you said that because I have said yes.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15THEY LAUGH
0:09:15 > 0:09:16- Thank you.- One in the bag.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- Ha, ha, get it?- Kids, let's press on, shall we?- Come on then.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23One in the bag indeed and with just ten minutes gone.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26You Blues are certainly savvy shoppers.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31Meanwhile, the Reds may be less savvy, but they certainly are eager.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32About everything.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37No. Simon, Simon, Game Boys. We found a weird element.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43- These pigs. The three pigs. - What about the whisky?
0:09:43 > 0:09:47It's a cognac bottle for the Olympic Games in Moscow, 1980.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50I would have walked straight past this cabinet.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Right. That says a lot, to be honest.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Purely because if we were to look at everything like this,
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- we will run out of time very quickly.- OK.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Jonathan, I think the boys need a bit of navigation, yeah?
0:10:01 > 0:10:05This sale room is on the Thames, and it is just up from Richmond,
0:10:05 > 0:10:08so you've got a good, wealthy clientele.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11So we could buy silver, works of art, maritime stuff, OK?
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- Those dolphins are silver, and they live in the sea.- They're not.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17- They are silver.- They are not. - Yes, they are.- No, they're not.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19- No, they're black.- Sorry.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22All right, move along, move swiftly along.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Oh, dear!
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Oh, dear, we've got a right pair here.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Whatever will they find next?
0:10:30 > 0:10:33We are nearly halfway through the shop and the Blues think
0:10:33 > 0:10:36they are on to a winning formula with more medical items.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Now, this is all chemistry, isn't it? Which is so not my field.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Come on, Toby, talk us through it.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45- What have we got?- At risk of just making things up, which I will.
0:10:45 > 0:10:51- So what is this? Sol.- It's a solution.- OK, onto the next one.
0:10:51 > 0:10:57- This is ABC.- OK.- And salicylic acid is aspirin.- Oh, is it?
0:10:57 > 0:11:00What I do know is that I quite like them.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Time to talk money with Leslie from the antiques centre.
0:11:03 > 0:11:08- Can we ask you about price?- Yeah, I think they are at 132 together.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Yeah, they are very, very pricey.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- All right, let's put them back for now.- OK.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16While we are here, can I just have a look in that cabinet? There's
0:11:16 > 0:11:19a little corkscrew down there. Can we have a look at that?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- Can I grab it?- Uh-huh.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25OK, so corkscrews are a great collectors market.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Connoisseurs of fine wines like to collect them with the wines,
0:11:28 > 0:11:29which is rather nice.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33Condition, of course, is really important, as with most things.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35A little bit worn.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38It probably dates, I would say, from the very early
0:11:38 > 0:11:42part of the 20th century, I think, rather than Victorian.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45What is nice about it is the action. It is all about the action.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49- Great. And that is quite unusual. - This is quite nice.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53It has got a lovely screw mechanism. And I've just noticed the price.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57I'm just wondering if we could get that for less than £10.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01- I try to imagine myself, you know, a summer's evening...- In the Loire.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03In the Loire...
0:12:04 > 0:12:06- Let's go for it. - Yeah, what can you do for us?
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Seven would be basically the bottom line.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12I mean, I think seven is a reasonable price, actually.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- I'm happy with seven. - What do you think, Tim?
0:12:14 > 0:12:16I'd pay seven to get the bottle open, yeah. Definitely.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Great, you got a deal.
0:12:18 > 0:12:19- Oh, good.- Thank you very much.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23So, what is your favourite tipple, then?
0:12:23 > 0:12:26- I think the way this is going, it is going to have to be champagne.- Oh!
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Steady on, Blues. You still have one more item to go.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31But you are certainly doing better than the Reds,
0:12:31 > 0:12:33who still haven't bought anything.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36But are they following Jonathan's advice?
0:12:38 > 0:12:41I've just seen this. A silver ship.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43That's exactly what we are looking for.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- It's not silver.- Oh. - But... You know...
0:12:46 > 0:12:49It says on there "Art Deco," which one hopes it is,
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- cos the Art Deco style is popular. - I've heard of that.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53- Oh, have you? - I don't know what it means.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56I did it in art class once and I completely forgot what it is.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58OK, very briefly,
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Art Deco is a label that goes to a style in 1925 in Paris.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03There was the exposition to Arts Decoratifs.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07It is that rectilinear, straight lines, strong contrast.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10It was the age of people coming out of the Victorian era
0:13:10 > 0:13:13and going into the adventurous stuff like skiing
0:13:13 > 0:13:15and hiking and mountain climbing.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18And travel. So this is sort of someone's souvenir.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22£35 isn't a lot, I don't think, if it is right, if it is Art Deco.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24So let's dive in.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28- That looks light, amazing. - It looks like a shoe.
0:13:28 > 0:13:29It's an ashtray.
0:13:29 > 0:13:34Not all the rage. Nowadays. I just don't like the quality of it.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36But then, it is not a lot of money.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40- What do you think?- I reckon we should risk it.- For 20.
0:13:40 > 0:13:45- Let's do it.- 30 at most.- Go in at 20. Maybe ask... David, isn't it?
0:13:45 > 0:13:48We just want to know whether you'll accept £20.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50- Best price is going to be 25. - I think we need to go for it.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52I think we do need to go for it.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54I think we should definitely go for it.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58- Is that a deal for us?- Yes.- Thank you very much.- Thank you. Thank you.
0:13:58 > 0:14:03- Thank you very much.- We've got one down, two to go, half an hour.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- Don't panic yet, guys. - HE YELLS
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- Don't lose it. We need to work fast. - OK, cool.- OK, fabulous, let's go.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10Finally!
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Well done, Reds, but you'll have to knuckle down and focus
0:14:13 > 0:14:17on getting those last two buys now, because your time is running out.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21I am going to try to motivate them to buy more selected objects.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Hopefully, we can cover enough ground in here to do so
0:14:23 > 0:14:27in the time we've got left. In a nutshell, it's hard work.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Yes, let's leave Jonathan working hard while I show you a bargain
0:14:31 > 0:14:34I picked up at Portobello Market, eh?
0:14:34 > 0:14:36What do you make of that?
0:14:36 > 0:14:40It looks a bit like a plastic button, but it isn't.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42It is a piece of stone.
0:14:42 > 0:14:48A curious amalgam of bright blue, which is lapis lazuli,
0:14:48 > 0:14:50and the green, which is malachite.
0:14:50 > 0:14:56The effect is that when this is cut and carved and polished, it is
0:14:56 > 0:15:01a most beautiful sight. Just look at the detail in this thing.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04I suspect it may be Chinese.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Because it is moon shaped.
0:15:06 > 0:15:11And the moon is a very auspicious thing in Chinese mythology.
0:15:11 > 0:15:16What it really needs is a length of ribbon to make it into a pendant.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20This being Portobello, I hoofed it down to the haberdashery store
0:15:20 > 0:15:26and bought myself half a yard of Victorian silk ribbon.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30Now, if I take the ribbon through the hole
0:15:30 > 0:15:34and make a little loop like that, this becomes
0:15:34 > 0:15:39a gift from heaven for the girlfriend or the wife.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43You put that around her neck like that, tie it behind her neck,
0:15:43 > 0:15:48and I tell you, she will be swept away by this.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52She'll say, "Oh, darling, that is so lovely. How kind of you.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55"It must have been expensive."
0:15:55 > 0:16:00Actually, the pendant cost me the princely sum of £12.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Plus the 50p for the ribbon, £12.50.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06That is what I call an absolute snip.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Don't you?
0:16:09 > 0:16:10Meanwhile, back in Surrey,
0:16:10 > 0:16:13our teams are over halfway through the shop.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17The Blues, who handled their first two buys with ease,
0:16:17 > 0:16:20are now struggling to agree on their third.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23- This is not saying Richmond to me at all.- This is.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26No, that's just saying you,
0:16:26 > 0:16:29I think. Hang on a minute, this little box, it's got a ship on it.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- It is a little snuffbox. Papier-mache.- That is rather nice.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36- Toby is pulling a face.- You are pulling a face.- I don't like it.
0:16:36 > 0:16:41You couldn't really be more candid. "I don't like it."
0:16:41 > 0:16:44And the Reds are trailing with just one piece purchased.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47And Jonathan's strategy seems to be going down the old pan.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52- That's nice. I quite like that. - Quite like what, guys?- Oh.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- I have got to keep a tight rein on you.- We found a toilet.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- Oh, for goodness' sake! - THEY LAUGH
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- We've found something else as well. - Come over here.
0:17:01 > 0:17:02Uh-oh.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Here we go. This is our signed spoon that we found.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- This is you because you are kayaker, isn't it?- Yeah.- It is a paddle.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13We could use it as a paddle. It will be quite a paddle.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- A bit weird.- You probably could. - A canoe paddle.- A canoe, definitely.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Yeah, that would be fine.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20But it is signed by some random school team or something.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Yeah, so we are not sure. It could be a famous Olympic team.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27What on earth is it? What does it say? Large spoon, very unusual.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31- Suits us. Buy.- What is it? I mean, this is...- BOTH: It's a spoon.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33- A big spoon.- Is it old?
0:17:33 > 0:17:35- HESITANTLY:- Yes.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38THEY LAUGH
0:17:38 > 0:17:42What am I doing? It's not terribly old.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45I'd say it is 20th century, maybe middle of the century.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50HE EXHALES LOUDLY
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- You don't like it, do you? - You hate our theme.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57What is going through my brain is, "Will it make any money?"
0:17:57 > 0:18:00The guy has put £45 on it, and he has put £45 on it
0:18:00 > 0:18:02cos he doesn't know how much to charge for it.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04I think it is a good thing.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Why don't you run down to the counter,
0:18:06 > 0:18:07see what magic you can work.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11- OK.- Go on, Simon, time for your best bargaining!
0:18:11 > 0:18:16So, what is the absolute best price you could give us for this spoon?
0:18:16 > 0:18:18We could do 35.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Cool. I will go and check with the other guys and see what they think.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22- OK.- Thank you.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Not sure that really counts as negotiating, Simon.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29- He said the absolute best price we can do is 35.- The absolute best?
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Well, that's what he thinks, anyway.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Did you actually try and haggle at all?
0:18:33 > 0:18:34I tried to. He was very persuasive.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38- How are we doing for time? - We've got no time left at all.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42Frankly, it's a definite purchase. Yes, were taking it.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45- Brilliant.- We bought a spoon!
0:18:45 > 0:18:46Well done.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Let's hope it doesn't leave you up the proverbial creek at the auction.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Meanwhile, with less than ten minutes to go,
0:18:52 > 0:18:55the Blues are worried about how little they have forked out.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01I assumed we would have spent much more money by now.
0:19:01 > 0:19:02But we haven't.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05We've really got to get stuck in there cos we've only spent £27.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07It's ridiculous!
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Well, a fancy bit of silver would soon put that right.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12I first of all thought it was a cigarette case in a very
0:19:12 > 0:19:16- strange shape.- Ah. More of a gentleman's piece.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- Absolutely.- Now we've got it out, you can see it's a lady's piece.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21That is quite nice.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23The interior is very, very nice.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25- It's lovely.- Great nick. - Isn't it? What have we got there?
0:19:25 > 0:19:27- Is that the price? - SHE GASPS
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Oh, right, that might be a little bit too much. 225.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32I think there is another one in the case.
0:19:32 > 0:19:33Shall we have a look at that one?
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Could we have a look at the other one?
0:19:35 > 0:19:37I'll hold on to this one, if that's all right.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Apparently, she will do 100 on that.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43- She'll do 100, OK. So is it this one here?- It's this one.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46It's that one.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49It is the sort of thing a lady would take with her to the theatre.
0:19:49 > 0:19:50Exactly.
0:19:50 > 0:19:55I would call them Edwardian, George V lady's silver evening bags.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58When you think of a lady, she would be wearing gloves,
0:19:58 > 0:20:02so her gloved finger would be placed through the little ring.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05So it is made to be elegant, it is made to be discreet.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08But it is also a little symbol of refinement.
0:20:08 > 0:20:14The thing that I like about this is that it is slightly plainer.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- I like this because it is more ornate, actually.- Right, OK.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21- So, we are differing.- But that's OK.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24This one is in the better condition, I would say.
0:20:24 > 0:20:29- It has a few little dinks in it. - The interior in this one is similar.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32I think the interior of this has the edge, actually.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36I think they are both good. This one is almost pristine, isn't it?
0:20:36 > 0:20:40- So we have got 100 on this. - This starts at 120.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43But overall, I think this is the better buy.
0:20:43 > 0:20:48- OK.- I agree.- It is very, very pretty.- So 100 on this one.- Yes.
0:20:48 > 0:20:53- You can't do a sneaky 90?- No, I've already done a sneaky huge amount.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56OK, that's very kind. Just thought I'd ask.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59- £100, are we happy, guys? - I think so.- I think so.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02- Lovely, thank you very much indeed. - Thank you.- Great.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Well done, Blues, that's your three items bought.
0:21:05 > 0:21:06But with less than five minutes to go,
0:21:06 > 0:21:09the Reds are nowhere near making a decision.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Ah... Shipping.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Um, yes, slightly out of our price range.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- Go on, team, time is running out. - Four minutes.- Oh, my gosh.
0:21:22 > 0:21:27- What about a fire extinguisher?- No. - Go back for the cockerel?- Really?
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- The concrete cockerel.- Have you seen this one?- Our new cockerel.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34- It's more expensive. - Well, actually... Who is that by?
0:21:34 > 0:21:38It is quite a nice thing. It has got a bit of age. It says 85.
0:21:38 > 0:21:43- Whose is it?- Elaine.- Is she here? No, she's not.- Yes, she is.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45- She is here. Where is Elaine? - On the desk downstairs.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48On the desk downstairs, right, let's go.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53- Which way is the stairs? - Go that way.- That way.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57Oh, dear, the pressure seems to be getting to the Red team.
0:21:57 > 0:21:58Just one minute left!
0:21:58 > 0:22:01We have a very small amount of time left.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03We've got loads of time!
0:22:03 > 0:22:06I mean, we can see it has been restored around the neck.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08- Quite a lot. - Quite a lot of restoration there.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09But it has got some age.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13I mean, it is sort of early 20th century, late 19th century.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17OK, bearing in mind the condition, and I think you've got £85,
0:22:17 > 0:22:19are you quite happy to get rid of it?
0:22:19 > 0:22:23- Yes.- You don't want this in your shop.- £30 and you're done.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25- OK, go on.- Brilliant, there we are, £30.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29- Sorry, guys.- You are a miracle worker.- That was ridiculous.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32- Thank you very much. - How did you do that?
0:22:32 > 0:22:35I struggled with the spoon, to get it down £10.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38CLOCK DINGS
0:22:38 > 0:22:42Oh, do stop clowning about. Your 60 minutes is up.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Before we sail off to the auction,
0:22:44 > 0:22:47let's check out what the teams bought.
0:22:47 > 0:22:48The Reds were hoping they could
0:22:48 > 0:22:50cruise their way to a profit
0:22:50 > 0:22:52with this Art Deco style ashtray,
0:22:52 > 0:22:53bought for £25.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57Next came the giant spoon.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Or is it a paddle?
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Which cost £35.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05And finally, the pottery cockerel
0:23:05 > 0:23:07at the knock-down price of £30.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Cock-a-doodle-do, eh?
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- OK, chaps, did you have a swell time?- Yeah, was great.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17- A bit indecisive, a bit last-minute. - No!- No!- Nothing of the sort.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21- How much did you spend in toto?- £90.
0:23:21 > 0:23:26OK, £90. £210 of leftover lolly, please.
0:23:26 > 0:23:27Which is your favourite piece?
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- Wooden spoon.- Is it?- Yep. - Do you agree with that, Simon?
0:23:30 > 0:23:33- I definitely do.- Is the wooden spoon going to bring the biggest profit?
0:23:33 > 0:23:34- I think so.- I don't.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37What do you think is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:23:37 > 0:23:40- I think the last-minute chicken. - Do you?- Yes.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43- It is going to come up with a golden egg.- Yeah, exactly.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46OK, fine. Well, there is a prediction. JP, you feeling strong?
0:23:46 > 0:23:51- I need to be. That's for sure. - What?!- I'm going to dig deep.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Whatever it is, I'll put a lot of attention
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- and I'll do you proud. - Anyway, good luck, JP.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:23:59 > 0:24:00They were carried away
0:24:00 > 0:24:02with this Gladstone bag.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03And managed to secure it
0:24:03 > 0:24:06for just £20. Pity about the stain.
0:24:06 > 0:24:07Their love of wine meant
0:24:07 > 0:24:09they couldn't say no to this
0:24:09 > 0:24:10early 20th century corkscrew,
0:24:10 > 0:24:13bought for just £7.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15And they really splashed the cash
0:24:15 > 0:24:16on their final item,
0:24:16 > 0:24:19a George V silver purse.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20Price paid - £100.
0:24:24 > 0:24:29So what is it with you two? Luxury goods and flight stuff.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Well, nice bottles of claret, certainly.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34And certainly the odd bottle of champagne, or three.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Anyway, there were go. We live in hope, right?
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Which is your favourite piece, Tim?
0:24:39 > 0:24:44I think probably the Edwardian lady's silver purse.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47- Do you agree with that, Doc?- I do to a certain extent, but actually,
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- I rather like the little doctor's bag we got as well.- Funny that.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Which item is going to bring the biggest profit, Doc?
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- I think definitely the doctor's bag. - Do you?- It has to be.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58- And you agree? - I agree wholeheartedly.
0:24:58 > 0:24:59And how much did you spend?
0:24:59 > 0:25:06- £127.- So, can I have £173, please? - Indeed.- Thank you very much, 173.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08- And there we go, £173. - Thank you very much.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11- That's a lot of cash for you, isn't it?- Lovely. It is a lot of cash.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13- Just as well. - What are you going to do with it?
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Well, one thing's for sure, I can't get away with any rubbish for
0:25:16 > 0:25:19these two, so it is going to have to be something of really good quality.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21- I hope you spend the lot.- Me too.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Anyway, stand by because very shortly,
0:25:24 > 0:25:27we're going to be heading off to the auction, into the smoke.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Well, this is fun, isn't it?
0:25:40 > 0:25:44We've popped up the Thames, from Kingston to Twickenham,
0:25:44 > 0:25:47to High Road Auctions to be with our auctioneer of the moment,
0:25:47 > 0:25:50- David Holmes. David, good morning. - Good morning, Tim.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Now, the Reds, what a mixture, eh?
0:25:52 > 0:25:56Whoo! First up is the Deco style ashtray. What do you make of that?
0:25:56 > 0:25:59We have catalogued this one as a chromium-plated object.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03I think, on closer inspection, it is polished aluminium.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06- Made in large numbers, though, Tim. - And not very old.
0:26:06 > 0:26:07Not very old at all, I'm afraid.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09That's the trouble with it, isn't it?
0:26:09 > 0:26:11- I mean, loosely, it has got that Art Deco look.- Yes, it has.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Which is what the manufacturer, probably in the Far East,
0:26:14 > 0:26:15has tried to kind of come up with.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17- Yeah.- Bunged it in a container
0:26:17 > 0:26:19and you are finding these things throughout the fairs,
0:26:19 > 0:26:22and I guess the auctions, fairly regularly.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24We see quite a few of these every month.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27And, you know, they can make £5, they can make £50.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29It all depends on the day.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33- Fair enough. £25 the team paid.- OK. Let's hope we can do it for them.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37Exactly right. Now, next up is this seriously wacky spoon.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39What do you make of that?
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Well, we are thinking possibly a presentation wooden spoon
0:26:42 > 0:26:46to someone who has done particularly badly at something.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48The tradition goes back to Cambridge, to the
0:26:48 > 0:26:52early 19th century. It has got some signatures on the bowl there.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56Possibly later applied. It may have a crest or something underneath.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00That paper cellotaped in relates to somebody's retirement party
0:27:00 > 0:27:02- or something like that. - Exactly.- 20 or 30 years ago.- Yeah.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Whereas originally,
0:27:04 > 0:27:08the Cambridge maker that might have made this would have painted
0:27:08 > 0:27:13on the monogram of the bloke who had come simply bottom of the form.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17- And that's what you got. - The chap who has come last, exactly.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19How much have you estimated on it, David?
0:27:19 > 0:27:21We put it in around £30 or £40.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25A bit of a speculative estimate, really. I haven't seen another one.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27- Have you?- No, I don't think I have ever seen the like of it,
0:27:27 > 0:27:32but I fancy you could do it good deal better than the £35,
0:27:32 > 0:27:35which is what Simon and the team paid for it.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38But you just don't know. Which will be fun to find out.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42Lastly, are we going to get a golden egg out of that cockerel?
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Probably not, unfortunately.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47The cockerel has suffered a lot of damage in its life
0:27:47 > 0:27:50- and it has undergone a lot of restoration.- Major surgery.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Major surgery on this one, Tim.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55- But somebody has loved it, though, haven't they?- Somebody has loved it.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57We think it's a Continental piece.
0:27:57 > 0:27:58There is an impressed mark under there.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01- We'll see what we can do with it. - What is your estimate?
0:28:01 > 0:28:04- £20 to £30, I believe, something like that.- £30 paid.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Basically, it will depend on what happens with the spoon.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09If the spoon does well, they won't need their bonus buy.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13But I suspect they might. So let's go and have a look at it.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15- Great hat. - THEY LAUGH
0:28:15 > 0:28:19And no particular political affiliation to that tea cosy?
0:28:19 > 0:28:22- Not that I know of.- Exactly right. Very sensible.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25OK, now, David, Simon, you spent £90, which is not a lot.
0:28:25 > 0:28:30- You gave £210 to JP. What did you buy, JP?- There we are.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33- OK.- That looks old. - That does look old.
0:28:33 > 0:28:34How much did it you spend on that?
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Don't go straight for the jugular, come on.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39It's important. It is an important number.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41We were talking about sort of maritime.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43I searched around trying to find something which I thought
0:28:43 > 0:28:45you'd like. And I stumbled across this.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49It was a bit of a sort of porthole clock, brass. It wasn't cheap.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51But then, it's a nice quality object.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55The key is that it is made by JW Benson's of London.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57And they still have a presence on Bond Street.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01- OK.- I rather liked it. It is a thing people are putting in their kitchens
0:29:01 > 0:29:03- and people are collecting. - How much did you pay?
0:29:03 > 0:29:06- It cost me £160.- Wow!
0:29:06 > 0:29:09- It is a fair tranche of your money that you left me.- It is.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12- It is more than you spent on all your items.- All our items together.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15- Yeah, I know. Well, there we are. - How much do you think it'll make?
0:29:15 > 0:29:17It might make a couple of hundred pounds.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20- Got that? Received the message? All clear?- All loud and clear.- Yes.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23Very good. Right now, though, for the audience at home,
0:29:23 > 0:29:27let's find out from our auctioneer today whether it is all clear.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30Well, tick-tock.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33What do you make of that, David?
0:29:33 > 0:29:36Well, it is a bulkhead or drum timepiece.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39It has a mark on the back of Benson.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42Benson, the famous metalworker of the 19th century.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46The dial really doesn't hold the quality of a Benson piece
0:29:46 > 0:29:47that I would imagine.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51The numbers, or the dial looks slightly Continental to me.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54I really don't like it that much, I'm afraid.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58So I'm getting just the slightest hint that,
0:29:58 > 0:30:03as you don't like it, maybe your estimate isn't so healthy either.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06The estimate on this one is £60 to £80.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10I had a funny feeling about this. JP paid £160 for this.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14So the team might be in trouble if they go with the bonus buy, right?
0:30:14 > 0:30:15Possibly, yes.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17But we will find out in a minute.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24And to kick on for them, is the Gladstone bag, which is
0:30:24 > 0:30:26- a sweet little fellow, isn't it?- It is sweet.
0:30:26 > 0:30:30Obviously, named after Gladstone the four-time Liberal Prime Minister.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34This one dates probably from the early 20th century.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37- And they have been quite popular. - What is your estimate on it?
0:30:37 > 0:30:41- The estimate on this one, around £30, £40.- Perfect, £20 paid.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45Anyway, moving on, is that chromium-plated corkscrew.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48Which is a pretty bog-standard number, isn't it?
0:30:48 > 0:30:51It is, unfortunately. It is 20th century, again.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53No maker on this one.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55So what is your estimate on the corkscrew?
0:30:55 > 0:30:57- Ten to 20.- Oh, they will be pleased with that.
0:30:57 > 0:30:58They only paid £7.
0:30:58 > 0:31:03OK, now, lastly, which is the major investment,
0:31:03 > 0:31:07is the bright cut, solid silver ring purse.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10- How do you rate that, David? - I rather like it.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14It is a good example of George V silver, early 20th century,
0:31:14 > 0:31:16and it isn't rather nice condition, isn't it?
0:31:16 > 0:31:18There are many collectors for these, of course.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21- So how much, then?- We have estimated around £50 to £80.
0:31:21 > 0:31:2350 to 80?
0:31:23 > 0:31:26- Gosh, £100.- £100 paid?- Yeah.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28That may be a difficult one.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31Oh, dear, I'm getting a very nervous feeling about this.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33In fact, I'm feeling so nervous, I think
0:31:33 > 0:31:34they might need their bonus buy.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36Let go and have a look at it.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40- OK, chaps, this is exciting, isn't it?- Yes.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43£173 you gave to 'er indoors.
0:31:43 > 0:31:44Kate, what did you buy?
0:31:44 > 0:31:48Well, I thought about the sort of auction we are going to
0:31:48 > 0:31:51and I thought about your gentlemanly taste,
0:31:51 > 0:31:55so I thought I would go for something of quality
0:31:55 > 0:32:01that is elegant and something that would appeal to the refined buyer
0:32:01 > 0:32:06at the sale room who might like to put a family photograph on display.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08It hasn't got any bells and whistles.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11It is a beautiful, George V silver photograph frame
0:32:11 > 0:32:15- in original condition, with a silk lining.- Very nice.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18- A lovely easel support. - It is very classic, very smart.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21- Classic and smart, yes, exactly.- Thanks very much.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24- Tim can't wait to have it. Can you?- I really can't.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26- I like to get my hands on things. - Exactly right.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28That's really nice. How much did you pay for that?
0:32:28 > 0:32:33- I did a little bit of a negotiating and I came up with £55.- Really?
0:32:33 > 0:32:35It's very nice. I think it is very good.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37I think for a good silver photograph frame, I think that is
0:32:37 > 0:32:40- a pretty good price. - I think you've done beautifully.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42- That's great, thank you. - What do you think?- Thumbs up.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Right now, for the audience at home,
0:32:44 > 0:32:48let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Kate's frame.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51Now, David. That's a nice one, isn't it?
0:32:51 > 0:32:54It is a nice silver photograph frame. It is very plain.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56But that could work in its favour.
0:32:56 > 0:33:00And it has got a rather nice quality back to it as well.
0:33:00 > 0:33:05- Nice ebonised finish.- Excellent. So, how much?- 40 to 60.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07- £55 they paid. - I think that's very good.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10I think Kate Bliss has done incredibly well with that.
0:33:10 > 0:33:14And let us hope that the team decide to go with it in just a minute.
0:33:14 > 0:33:15Thank you very much, David.
0:33:17 > 0:33:1970. Five. 80.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25- This is it, you are on the edge. - Yeah.- What is it like, Simon?
0:33:25 > 0:33:28- It's terrifying.- Is it?- Yeah.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31- What about you, David?- Well, I think we are going to make millions.
0:33:31 > 0:33:32- Do you?- Absolutely, millions.
0:33:32 > 0:33:37What are we talking about here, roubles or shekels or...?
0:33:37 > 0:33:42- Shells.- Anyway, first up is going to be the ashtray, the cast ashtray.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44And here it comes.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Lot number 30 is the aluminium
0:33:46 > 0:33:48ashtray modelled as the ocean liner.
0:33:48 > 0:33:49Give me £10, let's get it
0:33:49 > 0:33:50started. Who has got a bid?
0:33:50 > 0:33:52£10 only. I have taken it.
0:33:52 > 0:33:5415. 15 with the internet.
0:33:54 > 0:33:55I'll take 20 in the room.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57Doesn't seem a lot of money, does it?
0:33:57 > 0:33:59At £15 only.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01Can I ask you 18 for it?
0:34:01 > 0:34:0218, thank you.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Give me £20, internet.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06At 18, the bid is in the room with the lady.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08I'll take 20 on the internet.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11Final time, I am selling to the room at 18. 20 bid.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14- Well done, that man! - Just in time, sir. 22, madam?
0:34:14 > 0:34:16Are you sure? At £20,
0:34:16 > 0:34:18the gentleman's bid. I'll take two again.
0:34:18 > 0:34:2025 with the internet, sir.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23- My hero, internet man.- Woman, child.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25Whatever.
0:34:25 > 0:34:29At £25 with the internet. I'll take 28 in the room. Are you bidding?
0:34:29 > 0:34:33It's your last chance. Selling online at 25.
0:34:33 > 0:34:34£25, you wiped your face.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38£25, no profit, no loss, no pain.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41Fair enough. Now, here comes your spoon.
0:34:41 > 0:34:45Lot number 31, we move onto, it's the rather interesting,
0:34:45 > 0:34:50large 20th century, the walnut presentation spoon. £30 for it.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53Give me £30 for this. You won't see another one.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55£20 for it.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57Come along, £20 only. Who has got a bid, then?
0:34:57 > 0:34:59I'll take £10 for this. It's a bargain.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02£10, I've got you, sir. I'll take 15. 20.
0:35:03 > 0:35:0518, sir.
0:35:05 > 0:35:0715, 18, 20.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Are you sure? At 18, the gentleman standing.
0:35:10 > 0:35:15I'll take 20 on the internet. Two again, sir? Are you sure?
0:35:15 > 0:35:18It is on the internet at 20. Any further bids in the room?
0:35:18 > 0:35:22I've got to sell it this time with the internet at 20.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Absolutely pathetic. What is the point in coming?
0:35:24 > 0:35:27- Minus £15. - I'd pay more than that for my spoon.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29OK, fine, now the pottery box.
0:35:29 > 0:35:33We have the late 19th century, the Continental box and cover
0:35:33 > 0:35:34modelled as the cockerel.
0:35:34 > 0:35:38A little bit of restoration on it, but I can open it at £25.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40I'll take 28 in the room.
0:35:40 > 0:35:4230 with me, madam. Two again?
0:35:42 > 0:35:44- 35.- Good, you are in profit.
0:35:44 > 0:35:4640, thank you, madam. Commission is out.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49I have the lady's bid on my right. At £40 for it.
0:35:49 > 0:35:53I'll take five on the internet. At £40, bid in the room.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56Any further interest? Are we all done at 40?
0:35:56 > 0:35:57- Yes.- Plus £10.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00You were minus 15, you are now minus £5.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03So what are we going to do with this timepiece?
0:36:03 > 0:36:04It could be a winning score.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07- Minus £5 could be a winning score.- We have nothing to lose.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10- Yeah, let's do it.- What do you mean you've got nothing to lose?
0:36:10 > 0:36:13- You have £160 to lose. You don't care about that.- No.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15I'm distraught about the spoon.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18OK, we are going to go with the timepiece,
0:36:18 > 0:36:21for better or for worse, cos the auctioneer's estimate is
0:36:21 > 0:36:23£60 to £80 on it.
0:36:23 > 0:36:28- Oh!- You are jeopardising all, you lovely chaps. And here it comes.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30Lot number 36, we are on.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33It is the Victorian-style brass copper the bulkhead or
0:36:33 > 0:36:35drum-cased wall timepiece.
0:36:35 > 0:36:36Give me £50 for it.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39Thank you, 50 is bid. I'll take 60. Bid.
0:36:39 > 0:36:4070. 80.
0:36:42 > 0:36:47- Go on!- £80, the bid. I'll take 90 on the internet. At £80 only.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50I'll take 90, online bidder. Anybody else? Are we done?
0:36:50 > 0:36:52It has got to be sold, done at 80.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55Thank you very much, it minus £80.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58Now, overall, you are minus £85.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01Sadly, it just hasn't worked out for you in this sale room
0:37:01 > 0:37:03on this occasion.
0:37:03 > 0:37:08But minus £85, you might win, and this could be a winning score.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16Tim, Toby, do you know how the Reds got on?
0:37:16 > 0:37:19- Not at all.- You don't want to know, I tell you.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22OK, listen, you've got the Gladstone bag, you paid £20 for that.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26His estimate is £25 to £35 on that.
0:37:26 > 0:37:30It's a jolly nice bag. It's not just an old bag, it's a nice old bag.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32- Right?- Real character.- It has.
0:37:32 > 0:37:33OK, here it comes.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36This one is the early 20th century.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39It is the tan leather, the Gladstone bag.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42It's in rather nice condition, actually. £30 I'll take on it.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45£30, surely. Come along, guys. Who's got 20 for it?
0:37:45 > 0:37:48£20 is bid, thank you, in the seating. Take five on this lot.
0:37:48 > 0:37:49Good start.
0:37:49 > 0:37:5225 with the lady. 30 online. Five, madam?
0:37:52 > 0:37:57- 35 with the internet. I'll take 40 on it. £35.- You're in profit.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00A telephone bid on this. Bid me 40 on the telephone.
0:38:00 > 0:38:01£35 with the internet.
0:38:01 > 0:38:02I'll take 40 on it.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07£35 on the internet.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10I'm going to sell it to the internet buyer this time, at £35 only.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13Do you want to have another go at it? 40 bid. Five again?
0:38:13 > 0:38:16- £40 with the internet buyer.- Yes! - All out in the room.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19It's selling online. Are we done at 40?
0:38:19 > 0:38:21£40. You've got £20.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23Doubled the money.
0:38:23 > 0:38:24That's perfect, isn't it?
0:38:24 > 0:38:26Let's double up on the corkscrew.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30We have the rather nice, the double, the patent action corkscrew.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32Early 20th century, we think.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34I don't know... £20 for it. £20 for this?

0:40:09 > 0:40:14Park the £53 profit or are you going to punt
0:40:14 > 0:40:17- and run with the photo frame? - This is a really hard one.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19- I think it's beautiful. - It's breaking my heart.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21I think we might park it, we might park the money.
0:40:21 > 0:40:25- We're not going to go with it. - You're not really?- No.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27You are absolutely giggling away there.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29- OK.- We're not going to go with it. - No go.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32Well, we're going to sell it anyway, and here it comes.
0:40:32 > 0:40:36The silver photograph frame. It's a very nice plain example.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39I like this one. Bid me £50 for it. I'll take it £30 for it, sir.
0:40:39 > 0:40:40It's cheap at that.

0:40:42 > 0:40:46Thank you. 35. 40. Five. £50.

0:41:08 > 0:41:10You can fill the frame!
0:41:10 > 0:41:11£95 for it.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13£95 is plus £40.
0:41:13 > 0:41:17Very, very good, expert. Anyway, let's not fret about it, eh?
0:41:17 > 0:41:18We're not going to burst into tears.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21You have a profit on three items, that's pretty cool,
0:41:21 > 0:41:23and you got £53 to go home with.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26The big thing is, is it going to be a winning score or not?
0:41:26 > 0:41:30Don't talk to the Reds and all will be revealed in a moment, all right?
0:41:36 > 0:41:38- Have you been chatting with one another?- ALL: No.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41Well, we've had a lot of youthful enthusiasm
0:41:41 > 0:41:43and it's been great fun, but as usual, we have to have
0:41:43 > 0:41:46runners up, and the runners up are behind by a large lump.
0:41:46 > 0:41:47And they are the Reds.
0:41:47 > 0:41:48Yeah!
0:41:48 > 0:41:52- Minus £85.- Whoo!- That's quite a big lump, isn't it, really?
0:41:52 > 0:41:57Unfortunately, the timepiece was an irretrievable dark hole.
0:41:57 > 0:41:58Minus £80.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02- Anyway, minus 85 overall, but you've had a great time, haven't you?- Yeah.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05You took that final punt, and I admire you for it.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08Almost as much as I admire the hat, actually.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10I am rather falling in love with that orange hat.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12- Would you like to wear it? - Not particularly.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15But it has got that little je ne sais quoi, hasn't it?
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Anyway, everybody happy? Thank you very much for joining us.
0:42:18 > 0:42:23- But the victors today, who go home with £53!- Hooray!- Woo-hoo!
0:42:23 > 0:42:27Well done, Toby and Tim. You happy?
0:42:27 > 0:42:28Absolutely delighted.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31And of course, the best is to come, because as a result of making a
0:42:31 > 0:42:36profit on all of your items, you get to enter the ancient
0:42:36 > 0:42:39and noble order of the Golden Gavellers.
0:42:39 > 0:42:44- The privilege and the honour. - Why thank you.- Kate.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48- Anyway, happy, chaps?- Absolutely. - As you well ought to be.
0:42:48 > 0:42:52The only thing you missed out on was going with the bonus buy,
0:42:52 > 0:42:55because Kate made £40 profit, and the team didn't go with it.
0:42:55 > 0:42:59We will live to regret it for the rest of our lives.
0:42:59 > 0:43:03Oh, no, you won't. When you get to the pub in a minute, you'll be fine.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06Anyway, it's been great fun. Join us soon for some more bargain hunting.
0:43:06 > 0:43:07- Yes?- All: Yes!
