0:00:02 > 0:00:05There's no cattle, sheep, poultry or pigs.
0:00:05 > 0:00:08They've all been swapped for antiques today
0:00:08 > 0:00:11here at the East of England Showground.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Our Peterborough teams are going to have to
0:00:13 > 0:00:15shop for some prime stock, though,
0:00:15 > 0:00:19to sell at auction. And who will be best in show?
0:00:19 > 0:00:21Well, we'll be the judge of that.
0:00:21 > 0:00:25Right now, though, let's go Bargain Hunting, yeah.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Hundreds and hundreds of stallholders,
0:00:49 > 0:00:52thousands and thousands of visitors.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Each of our teams today have a tough challenge
0:00:56 > 0:01:00because they need to pick three pieces from Peterborough
0:01:00 > 0:01:02with potential profit.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03How did they get on?
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Let's take a sneaky peek as to what's coming up.
0:01:06 > 0:01:11On today's show, Tom asks the Reds to play a guessing game.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13- The dragon?- Not the dragon.
0:01:13 > 0:01:14- Not this?- No.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16- It's this one, Thomas. - No. Definitely not.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18But it's anyone's guess
0:01:18 > 0:01:20if the Blues can manage to find anything in an hour.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24Focus, focus, focus!
0:01:24 > 0:01:27And guess who's coming up trumps at auction.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29How much fun was that?
0:01:29 > 0:01:31How much fun was that?
0:01:31 > 0:01:34That's all for later. Let's meet the teams.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Well, we've got some cracking teams on the show today.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42For the Reds, we've got husband and wife Phil and Kate.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46And for the Blues, we've got half-brothers Alec and Ian.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47- Hello, everyone.- OTHERS:- Hello.
0:01:47 > 0:01:52Lovely to see you. Now, you two. How did you both meet?
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Well, I was in a pub with some friends
0:01:54 > 0:01:59standing there with a pint and she walked in and I went...
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- And fell in love. - How lovely is that?
0:02:03 > 0:02:05But this is a year or two back, isn't it?
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Yes, nearly 30 years back.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08I mean, that is something else, isn't it?
0:02:08 > 0:02:10- That's a romance.- Yeah.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Let's hope you don't fall out as a result of being on Bargain Hunt.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15- That won't happen. - There's always a chance.
0:02:15 > 0:02:20Now, Phil, you're a bit of a drama and English teacher.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Used to be, yes. Many years ago, I was a drama and English teacher.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27But then I packed it in and I now run my own little business in training.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- Do you?- Yes, presentation skills
0:02:29 > 0:02:32or leadership or negotiating or whatever.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34So you're still teaching, really?
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Yeah, I suppose so, in an adult sort of way.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- And I lard it with a bit of drama. - Exactly.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43Now, tell me, Kate, about your connection to Beatrix Potter.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Well, the publishing firm that she used was my grandma's,
0:02:47 > 0:02:48father and uncle's firm.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- Was that Warne? - It was. You know your stuff, yeah.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55So my gran was a Warne, she was their little girl at the time,
0:02:55 > 0:02:57and Beatrix Potter used to go around to the house a lot
0:02:57 > 0:03:01and she used to write her stories often for children that she knew,
0:03:01 > 0:03:03so she wrote some of the stories for my gran.
0:03:03 > 0:03:04Oh, how lovely.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06The one that's called The Two Bad Mice
0:03:06 > 0:03:07which is about a doll's house -
0:03:07 > 0:03:10and it was my gran's doll's house and it was dedicated to her.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11Oh, how sweet is that?
0:03:11 > 0:03:14She was actually engaged to my uncle, late uncle.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15Oh, really?
0:03:15 > 0:03:17But he died of TB before they could get married.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20And was that the sort of loss of the love of her life?
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Yeah, she never married, she was a spinster and...
0:03:23 > 0:03:25And this is all in the movie, isn't it?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- Yeah. Ewan McGregor played my uncle. - Did he? Gosh.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32- Enjoyed that.- What fun, though, to have those connections. Fantastic.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34- Well, I hope you enjoy the experience.- Thanks.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Lovely to meet you. Now, Alec, what do you do for a living?
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Well, I'm an anaesthetic and recovery practitioner
0:03:39 > 0:03:41and I work in a London hospital.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45So, effectively, I provide, you know, assistance to the anaesthetists
0:03:45 > 0:03:47and the surgeons in the anaesthetic rooms.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49It's a lovely job.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51- Now, you're keen gardener, Alec. - I am.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55I like to recycle things like old wardrobes to make my raised beds...
0:03:55 > 0:03:56- You don't.- I do.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- You take a wardrobe and you plant it?- An old one.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01You know, it lasts maybe one or two years and it sits down there
0:04:01 > 0:04:03and you bang a few things on the side
0:04:03 > 0:04:05and you chuck a few peas in and the odd tomato
0:04:05 > 0:04:07and it all comes up an absolute treat.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09And you haven't actually sort of like chopped down a rainforest
0:04:09 > 0:04:12it's all a bit of recycled wood, it looks absolutely fantastic
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- and my raspberries are legendary. - Are they?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16I bet you've got a good raspberry, too.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18- Now, Ian.- Hi.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21It's more pitches than wardrobes for you, isn't it?
0:04:21 > 0:04:22It is, it is.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Yeah... Tell us about your refereeing skills.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Well, I like to think I'm a fairly good referee,
0:04:28 > 0:04:30I've been doing it 18 years.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32I now do it for youth football
0:04:32 > 0:04:34cos I can't keep up with the youngsters -
0:04:34 > 0:04:36they're too fast down the wing -
0:04:36 > 0:04:38so I do it through age group 13s to 14s.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Not exactly little titches, though, a lot of them, are they?
0:04:41 > 0:04:45No, no, I try to keep up with them, and I'm managing it at the moment.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47And enjoying it, so that's a win-win.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51- Now, what do you collect? - Oh, I love silver milk jugs.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53I never use them, you know, they're just in a cabinet.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- How many have you got?- 30.- No.- Yeah.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- What got you into that? - I just love the style of them.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03But what fascinates me most is the history behind them.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06You know, where was the inspiration for the jugs.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10And you must have learnt a lot on Bargain Hunt over the years?
0:05:10 > 0:05:11Oh, invaluable.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Invaluable. And that is the right answer.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Now, £300 apiece, here we go. £300.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17- Thank you.- 300 smacks. - KATE:- Thank you.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21You know the rules, your experts await, and off you go!
0:05:21 > 0:05:24And very, very, very good luck. Oh, what joy.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28That's the team. Now, let's meet today's experts.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30Steering the Reds
0:05:30 > 0:05:32through calm waters, it's Captain...
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Ahoy there.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37And hoping to snap up some bargains for the Blues, it's...
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Now, what are the teams looking for today?
0:05:42 > 0:05:44You know what? I haven't got a clue.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46But I'm very excited to find out what's there.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Well, anything quirky, anything a little bit funny,
0:05:48 > 0:05:50a little bit unusual.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51What about you, Kate?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53I'm quite into mirrors, I think. I like mirrors.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56So basically we are looking at the antique version of you two?
0:05:56 > 0:05:58That's it. We'll settle for that.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Right, teams, your 60 minutes starts now.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04HORN HOOTS Oh, let's go in there.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06- Let's have a little wander around. - Let's go.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- Here we go. Rock and roll. Thank you.- Go.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Ian likes a bit of shiny stuff, that's for sure.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16- This is...it's huge, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Look at this place. Full of stuff and objects.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21So there's going to be something.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- I like silver milk jugs. - You like silver milk jugs?
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Cos normally milk jugs would come with the rest of the tea service.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32Yeah...but I'm not that rich. So I settle for that.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37They're all reproductions, aren't they?
0:06:37 > 0:06:38Yeah, they will be.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42I see an owl. OWL HOOTS
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Wow, it's bewildering, isn't it? There's so much stuff.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45Bewildering, yes.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48But not to worry, Kate is focused and on the case.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- I found a mirror. - Oh, this is one of Kate's things.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- Oh, Kate...- I like that.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- 26 quid. That's quite good. - With a bevelled edge.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Yeah, and look at the beautiful clips.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04Got these little clips that dates from about the '50s, 40s/50s.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06It's vintage.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09You're right, it's vintage. It's vintage stuff.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Shall we have a look? Just have a quick look?- All right.- So...
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Good size. Cardboard back,
0:07:16 > 0:07:20so it really is sort of utilitarian to its max.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Yeah. But it's attractive.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Yeah, I like your eye, I like the eye on it.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26And the actual quality of the mirror,
0:07:26 > 0:07:28it's not silvered, is it?
0:07:28 > 0:07:30It's not silvered, it's not gone.
0:07:30 > 0:07:35So, now it's chance for Phil to come in and do your bit.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Stand back, darling.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- Yeah.- So, don't mention the figure, see what they can do,
0:07:42 > 0:07:44but try and get a one in front of it.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Good tip, Thomas. Right, let's see what Phil can do.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Obviously, we're interested in the mirror.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52What would you be prepared to come down to?
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- 20.- 20.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56We were rather hoped to have a one in front of the...
0:07:56 > 0:07:5818, 18.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- We were hoping 15.- Gosh.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- Would you be able to do... - Let's compromise, 16.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06- 16.- Is that a good one in front?
0:08:06 > 0:08:07Absolutely wonderful.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09I think, you know, you should go for that,
0:08:09 > 0:08:10it's like a record buy.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Thank you very much for that, that's great.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14- Thank you.- Thank you very much.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- Thank you.- That's like shopping in five minutes.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19That is A1 shopping skills.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- That's lovely. - Yes, that's the way to do it.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24£16 for an Art Deco mirror and plenty of time
0:08:24 > 0:08:26to shop for two more items.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- The Blues are also up early. - COCKEREL CROWS
0:08:31 > 0:08:34The crowing cockerel has drawn their attention.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36See the jug with the hen, as well? The cockerel.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Yeah? Shall we have a look at that? Shall we pick that up?
0:08:39 > 0:08:43- It's got a chip on the lip. - Oh, for God's sake!
0:08:43 > 0:08:46It's normally... Typical of Wemyss, it's very brittle and very soft.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50Wemyss is very brittle, sadly, so that's not unusual.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52What about...? What's on your desk stand? That's really unusual.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- That's 140.- £140.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55- Is it really?!- Yeah.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- You can have a look at it if you like.- Would you mind?
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Yeah, I quite like the look of that.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01- Lovely, marvellous. - Shall I hold the lids?
0:09:01 > 0:09:02Yeah, you get the lids, that's OK.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04- Marvellous.- Oh, there's weight...
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Hang on, I have to get me glasses out now.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08- OK, so this is... - I'm only 30 if anyone asks.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Is that restoration? Is that restored?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Oh, watch your teeth.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15OK, so that's really interesting
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Cos I think there's a bit of a restoration across there
0:09:17 > 0:09:20and what I'm doing when I'm testing it against my teeth like that,
0:09:20 > 0:09:22is basically feeling for that restoration,
0:09:22 > 0:09:26which is slightly softer to touch... I know it's... I'm not eating it.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27I think it's a lovely thing, guys.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30I'm just slightly worried about the extent of the restoration.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32OK, well, we can think about it
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- and we can come back and see, couldn't we?- Yeah.- Good plan, guys.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36Back to the browsing.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39The Reds are regrouping and ready to search again.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Is this the way you were going to be going?
0:09:42 > 0:09:43Looking at items under a certain figure?
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Well, I always thought that was the best way to do it,
0:09:46 > 0:09:50and then we leave as much as we can for you to buy in the bonus buy.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- OK, thanks for that. - Yeah, yeah, we trust you.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- Cos we trust you, Tom. - Yeah, I bet you do.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Trust is everything, Thomas.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01The Blues are trusting their instinct, too. Another cockerel.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03What is it about these plucky characters?
0:10:03 > 0:10:05That... Is it a teapot with a cockerel again?
0:10:05 > 0:10:06Yeah.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08All right, OK, so lovely little teapot there
0:10:08 > 0:10:09with a cockerel on the front.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13- Dawntee be fraid aut now.- Oh. - Dawntee be fraid aut now.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Sounds Scottish, sounds Scottish, doesn't it?
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Very sweet, pretty thing.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20There is a collector's market for it but...not today.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Afraid not. Time to move on, though.
0:10:24 > 0:10:25Ceramics has beckoned the Blues, too.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29Kate has spotted an item that really takes the biscuit.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Oh, look at the gorgeous box.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34The Deco box. Yeah, it's gorgeous. It's like a biscuit barrel.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35- Oh, it's so stylish. - Can I have a look at it?
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- Yeah.- Thank you. - So one would put your...
0:10:38 > 0:10:39- Do you want to...? - No, no, no, you go, you go.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41- Put your Hobnobs in it. - Your Hobnobs.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- There are other biscuits available. - There are.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45No, there are not.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48The king of biccies, you know. They're good dunkers.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49Good dunkers. Are you a dunker?
0:10:49 > 0:10:51- I am very much a dunker, yeah. - We both are.- Oh, really?- Yeah.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53I mean, let's have a look at it.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55So you've got made in England on there.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56You hold it, no, you hold it. So I can...
0:10:56 > 0:11:00You got made in England there. 170, that will be the mould number.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Actually, I will take it. Actually, I will.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- THOMAS TAPS POT - This is stoneware.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09It's a weak material, therefore you don't want...
0:11:09 > 0:11:11- You want to check... - Strong enough for Hobnobs?
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Strong enough for Hobnobs. Is not like a hard porcelain. No.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16It's got a real look with this drip glaze, hasn't it?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18- It has, it's got a lovely look. - It's very '30s, isn't it?
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- It's immensely '30s. - Bit asymmetrical, as well.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23It could go in our kitchen on the shelf, actually.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26It's all about somebody else liking it, but it is iconic in its look.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Yeah. Shall we see what they can do?
0:11:29 > 0:11:30Yes, I think so.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33I think that would be a good idea to see...
0:11:33 > 0:11:34That's the way you have it.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Cos you have one clean bit and one bit there.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- One clean bit and one bit there. - Oh, lovely.- That's how you have it.
0:11:39 > 0:11:44- Yeah.- And it's marked at 40. What's the best on that?
0:11:44 > 0:11:45I could do that for 30.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48And if I asked you for 25, where would we be?
0:11:50 > 0:11:52- Swing it.- Swing it?- Yeah. - You think so?- Yeah.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- What do you think?- I think so. - Yeah, you love that?- Yeah.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- Deal.- Good man.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00If they don't like it, we'll take it.
0:12:00 > 0:12:01£25, you can't go wrong.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05Well done, Reds. A second buy early. And all within ten minutes.
0:12:05 > 0:12:12£25 for a Beswick Art Deco biscuit box. I feel a theme coming on.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- So, two items within ten minutes. - Are we doing well?
0:12:15 > 0:12:18- You're doing immensely well. - Speedy.- Speedy.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22- Can we just off...steady the bus. - Oh, I see, right.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- Steady the bus. - Yeah, OK, but the brake on.- OK.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Yeah, calm down, you two.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30You've got plenty of time to find a third item.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33They know what they like - when they like it, they go for it.
0:12:33 > 0:12:38They are fabulous. But to my liking, it's a bit quick.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39If you see the right thing,
0:12:39 > 0:12:42what's the point trailing around for hours on end?
0:12:42 > 0:12:44And as her husband, I agree with her.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48I'd like them to take a bit more of an easier, steadier pace.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49- We'll slow down now, maybe.- Yes.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Yes, we'll start dawdling now.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Dawdle off, then.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55The Blues have yet to make any purchases.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- So you better speed up, boys. - Now, what about this Moorcroft?
0:12:58 > 0:13:01It's a beautiful bowl, but it's a little bit expensive.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02Oh, is it? That's stunning.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06That's a bearded iris pattern, really, really beautiful.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07It's a duck eggy colour.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Looking at the bottom, we've got this lovely mark.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11We've got the impressed mark with the painted signature.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14And an impressed mark there. £185.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- And it's got restored... - Oh, more restoration...
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- We're littered with restoration today, aren't we?- Yeah.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Let's have a look, see if we can find that chip.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Where, where...? Oh, just there, I think it is.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26So that would affect the value, I would imagine, sadly.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- But what do you think, guys? - Love it.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30Love the colours. Love the bowl.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33I do love it. I do love the Arts and Crafts movement, I love this era.
0:13:33 > 0:13:34I love the colours.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36It's quite a chunk of money, what's our tactic?
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- Are we thinking spending big? - No, we wanted to buy cheap
0:13:39 > 0:13:41and sell high, but this is really, really nice.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44But the price has to be right. See what you can do.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48You've got 185. Is there any movement on that price at all?
0:13:48 > 0:13:50- I'll do 150.- 150.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Couldn't go a little further for us on this cold day?
0:13:53 > 0:13:58- 140.- I think it's... Do you think? - Could we just do 135?
0:13:58 > 0:14:01And it means you don't have to pack it away.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05- 138.- 138?- 138? Happy with 138? - I'm very happy because this lady...
0:14:05 > 0:14:07- That's a very funny figure. - ..I like her eyes.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10- I think her eyes are wonderful. - I've had that said to me before.
0:14:10 > 0:14:11I'm not surprised.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15Flattery will nearly always get you a better deal, Alec.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Don't drop it.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Thank you so much, I'm really pleased with that.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Gosh, we spent some money, haven't we?
0:14:21 > 0:14:23- We did, yeah. Bang goes the strategy.- Yeah.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27Indeed. 15 minutes in and the Blues have spent nearly half their money
0:14:27 > 0:14:28on their first buy.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32£138 for the restored Moorcroft bowl.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33All right, OK.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Back on a steady search and as they've got time on their side,
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Thomas is keen to play a guessing game.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43You know, there's something on that stand which I absolutely...
0:14:43 > 0:14:44Can we have a look?
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Really? Let me guess what you LOVE on this stand.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- The dragon? - Not the dragon, not Puff.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52- Not this?- No, no, no.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55- It's this one, Thomas? - No, definitely not.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57- OK.- No, it's the bull.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- The bull?- Oh, the bull.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01It's too expensive. You won't...
0:15:01 > 0:15:04But it's by Arnold Machin, it's a Wedgwood zodiac bull.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- How much is this one?- Careful. - Oh, gosh, I nearly dropped it!
0:15:07 > 0:15:09- 275.- Oh, right.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Move on then, Reds. Talking of moving...
0:15:12 > 0:15:16- Oh, what about...?- What about...?
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Halls of Grantham. House furnishers, removals and storage.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22- That's nice.- Oh, that's nice.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Are you trying to relive your childhood days?
0:15:25 > 0:15:27He's never left it.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29- What does it say? - Have we found a price?
0:15:29 > 0:15:31- Is there a price on it? - Is this your...?
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- Can we ask you a little bit about it?- Yeah, of course.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36How much have you got on it, my love?
0:15:36 > 0:15:39- The absolute death on that is 160, I'm afraid.- Ooph.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- This is a lovely... - Yeah, it is beautiful, yeah.
0:15:42 > 0:15:43Oh, that's a real shame.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Everything we've picked up has been over 160.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48We are nothing if not quality hounds, are we?
0:15:48 > 0:15:50- Thank you ever so much.- Marvellous.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52OK, we'll pop that down for the time being. Thank you.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Come on, you. Get something cheap.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Exactly right, Alec.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00Park that van there and remove yourselves pretty sharpish.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02It's been quite expensive, hasn't it? We didn't realise.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Well, we do have expensive taste. I mean, we paid out quite a lot
0:16:05 > 0:16:07right at the very beginning, but we're now going to go
0:16:07 > 0:16:09for cheap and cheerful. Much like ourselves.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Which is what we said right at the very beginning, didn't we, though?
0:16:12 > 0:16:16Hmm. Let's see if you can manage that. Back to plan A.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18In the meanwhile, Thomas is checking
0:16:18 > 0:16:20in which direction the wind is blowing with the Reds.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22I quite like the weather vane.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24It's nice and weathered as well, isn't it?
0:16:24 > 0:16:25Yeah, it's chunky,
0:16:25 > 0:16:28it's got a bit of a weight and size to it, hasn't it?
0:16:28 > 0:16:30- I like this. I think that's... - It's very decorative, isn't it?
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Yeah. It's decorative stuff, I can see its appeal.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36- How does it fit on? - You'd need a pole.- You need a pole.
0:16:36 > 0:16:37- And it's a- weather vane? Yeah, yeah.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39So what does a weather vane do exactly?
0:16:39 > 0:16:42- Tells you which way the wind is coming.- Oh, I see.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44- So it swivels. - Catches this, blows it round.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46- How much is it?- It's £85.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- It goes beyond all your budgets as you've been going.- Yes.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52And our strategy. We've got 30 minutes so let's have another...
0:16:52 > 0:16:54We can bear that in mind, can't we?
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Time to change direction.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06Aren't these wacky?
0:17:06 > 0:17:11Who would have thought that in 12 solid glass rings,
0:17:11 > 0:17:16you could display so much colour and so much variety.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20Of course, this could only be done by the Venetians at Murano.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25This ring sits snugly on my finger,
0:17:25 > 0:17:27it's comfortable to wear
0:17:27 > 0:17:31because of the ovoid form of the glass itself
0:17:31 > 0:17:33nothing to stick out and catch.
0:17:33 > 0:17:38But the decoration itself is similar to canework
0:17:38 > 0:17:41which was used by the Murano craftspeople
0:17:41 > 0:17:43to create all those paperweights.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47Next door to that is a gorgeous green ring.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49I'm not sure this isn't my favourite
0:17:49 > 0:17:51cos green's one of my favourite colours.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54But here we've got three or four shades of green
0:17:54 > 0:17:57which have been drawn out into a swirl
0:17:57 > 0:17:59that goes from side to side on the ring.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02And in between each of the green swirly bits,
0:18:02 > 0:18:04there seems to be some metal.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07That's called an inclusion.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10And next door to that, we've got the same effect
0:18:10 > 0:18:13but even more tightly drawn,
0:18:13 > 0:18:18this time on a black and silver platinum ground.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22Just in these three rings, you have an illustration on the finger
0:18:22 > 0:18:26as to how beautiful they look when being worn.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30And the rest of them on the table further illustrate the point.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33And you might think that to buy a collection of 12 rings like this
0:18:33 > 0:18:34would cost you a small fortune.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Well, you'd be wrong.
0:18:36 > 0:18:41Poke about, do a deal and you'd find that each of these rings
0:18:41 > 0:18:44would cost you no more than three pounds.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48- LAUGHS - £36 for the lot.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Now, that is what I call a bargain.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Back to the shopping. And with less than 25 minutes to go,
0:19:01 > 0:19:04the Reds have one item to find while the Blues...
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Right, let's go, go, go, go in here.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08..are on a mission to find two.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10- I do love a bit of glass. - Hmm, OK.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Do you know what? I love a challenge.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16You are challenging me in the best possible way.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18FRENCH ACCENT: A challenge.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26I rather like the look of this. What do you think of this, my love?
0:19:26 > 0:19:28That is really rather lovely, though. Look at that.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30- All the fishes.- Fish.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33It's very fishy, yeah. I mean it's a lovely piece of glass.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Glassware - it has be either incredibly useful
0:19:36 > 0:19:39or incredibly beautiful in order to sell at auction.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41- And I know that you do love your glass.- I do.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43I'm a bit worried having looked at this under closer inspection.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46- Have you seen...?- Oh.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48- That is massively cracked.- It is.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Oh, cracked glass is a no-no.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Unlucky, fella. Yeah, it has to be in good condition, as well.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56So, sadly, I think that one has to go back.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58It's got to go back. But good spot.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02- We are really running out of time. - Move forward then, move forward.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Panic, panic, panic.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08While the Blues worry about time, the Reds have time for tea.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- Chrome teapots. - It's eye-catching, isn't it?
0:20:11 > 0:20:13It is eye-catching. You get, there's a lot there.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Although this is different, isn't it?
0:20:15 > 0:20:17- It's all different.- Yeah.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21So would you have those two and the sugar bowl?
0:20:21 > 0:20:23- Well, they're... - No, you wouldn't want two teapots.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26- It's got three teapots.- Well, I thought that was a coffee pot, no?
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Well, it could be a coffee. Yes, it could be coffee.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- Are they the insulated ones?- They are the insulated ones.- Yeah, yeah.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Cos if you lift up... So, Phil, could you...?
0:20:34 > 0:20:37- That's it.- Oh, right. Oh! - Yeah.- Isn't that nice?- Aw.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39- PHIL LAUGHS - Keeps your tea warm, doesn't it?
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- Yeah.- So you've got two teapots and a coffee pot
0:20:42 > 0:20:45and a sugar bowl and cover and a tray.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47Yeah.
0:20:47 > 0:20:48Kate's not convinced.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- I'd rather have a teapot... - Do the lot.- ..the milk...
0:20:51 > 0:20:53- Do the lot, I say... - I think it gets crowded, don't you?
0:20:53 > 0:20:56I wouldn't - you get more bang for your buck. Excuse me.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58- So I'll read you the numbers. - STALL HOLDER: Yeah.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01- So I've got tray, 18.- Yeah.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- I've got coffee pot, ten.- Yeah.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06- I've got sugar bowl, ten.- Yeah.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Then I've got teapot, 20.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12And there's nothing on the ribbed example.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14- That one?- Yeah.- 15.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17And then the jug and the thing.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19- These are 22?- Yes, that's right.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22A full tray at £95.
0:21:22 > 0:21:27- Hm...- So, I think 55 is generous, to be honest.- 55, yeah?
0:21:27 > 0:21:29- 55 is a generous offer, I think. - Is it? OK.- Yeah.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- I think that's quite good. So what you want to do?- Buy, buy.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- 55. We go for 55.- Thank you so much. That's lovely.- You're welcome.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39So, a collection of seven chromed Art Deco pieces
0:21:39 > 0:21:43bought as the Reds' third and final buy.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47The job lot for £55 and with 15 minutes to spare.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50The Blues, in the meanwhile, still need to find two items
0:21:50 > 0:21:52and are feeling the pressure.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55I am now, I am now really panicking. Er...
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- Three items...- Yeah. - ..all very similar.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- Yeah.- Yes, in a theme. - In a theme.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04- And we got through it without arguing as well.- Mainly.- Mainly.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06- Let's go and have lunch.- Yeah.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11- Hey, over here. - WHISTLE BLOWS
0:22:11 > 0:22:12I really like the back whistle there.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Girl Guide whistle. Were you in the Girl Guides?
0:22:15 > 0:22:17- No, Brownies. - THEY LAUGH
0:22:17 > 0:22:20- What's your thoughts? - Right, we're running out of time...
0:22:20 > 0:22:21Well, that's what I'm saying.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23- But are you hellbent on that?- Yes.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24- Right...- Seriously...
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- You really, really, really want a Girl Guide...- It's silvery.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29If I lose my golden gavel because you've done that...
0:22:29 > 0:22:32It's got Girl Guides written all over it, I think that is history.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34- I love that.- History?!
0:22:34 > 0:22:36I think that's really marvellous.
0:22:36 > 0:22:37Yet, that gets, that's caught my eye a treat.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41- How much is that then?- That's 58. - Well, let's just have a look at it.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44We've got National Rose Society awarded to EH Ackerman,
0:22:44 > 0:22:45medal by John Harvey Pinches.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49So, Pinches is quite a famous medallion or medal producer.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52So six distinct varieties of roses,
0:22:52 > 0:22:56Chelsea Flower Show, July 1930, EH Ackerman.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Look how beautiful that is.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02The casting on that is quite something.
0:23:02 > 0:23:03I mean, I have not seen one of these before.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07There are medal collectors, or medallion collectors.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09It's in solid silver.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11And I just think it's a really lovely thing.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13I think it's lovely. I'm really happy with that if...
0:23:13 > 0:23:16I mean, £58, see what you can do. I mean, try and get it for cheaper.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18I think the fact it's got its original casing...
0:23:18 > 0:23:21- Do you like it, Al? - I like this.- Yeah. Come on then.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23But I like that tin over there, as well, to be fair.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26- That's a different... - But how much is on that tin?
0:23:26 > 0:23:28- I haven't looked. - One thing at a time, Ian.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Time, time is of the essence.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33All that Girl Guides have brought to our country...
0:23:33 > 0:23:36- Focus, focus.- ..over many, many years.- Focus, focus!
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Well, let's do something with that then.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42- It's got £58 on it.- Right.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45- Is there anything that you could do on the price?- I could do 50.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Could do £50. OK.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50- Shall we just stick with this? - But we've not got much time left!
0:23:50 > 0:23:52All right, let's just...
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- We'll definitely have that. - We'll definitely have this.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- OK, so we're happy with that at £50? - Yes.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00So much confusion, so little focus,
0:24:00 > 0:24:04but they've managed to secure this Chelsea Flower Show medallion
0:24:04 > 0:24:06for £50 as their second buy.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Now, with only a few minutes ago,
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Christina, control the lads, will you?
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- Have a look at your tin. You have got two minutes.- Two minutes, right.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Have look at your tin and then come back.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- Hello there. How much have you got on your tin?- That's 25, sir.
0:24:20 > 0:24:2325? And is there any movement on that?
0:24:23 > 0:24:2520 is the absolute best, I think.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27- 20?- Yeah.- OK, give me a minute.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29I'll just go and tell my colleagues. Thank you.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35- OK, time to decide. The tin or....? - What's that there?
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Well, that is a nice little penknife
0:24:37 > 0:24:39which was tucked in the corner there.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41It's silver I think it's a nice little thing.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43We've got no time. I think it'll do better...
0:24:43 > 0:24:44That's lovely, but, you know,
0:24:44 > 0:24:46I think this is, got a bit more chance.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50- What's that price? £30? - Yeah. Well, then, fantastic.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Hello! THEY CHUCKLE
0:24:52 > 0:24:54You've already been so, so kind.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Is there anything you can do on this for us?
0:24:57 > 0:25:00- Let me have a look for you. - I've taken a bit of a shine to that.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03- Right, erm. - THEY LAUGH
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Well, I could be very generous. How would 15 be?
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Thank you so much, dear lady. You're a wonderful person.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11You've been very generous. Thank you so much.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Right, teams, your 60 minutes is up.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Mum, can I kiss my friend again?
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Boys, seriously, under the...
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Sorry. I need a very large gin and tonic and a sit down.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Let's check out what the Red team bought, eh?
0:25:25 > 0:25:30A clear early buy for the Reds, an Art Deco mirror for £16.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Looking good, guys.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36Next they rolled up a Beswick biscuit box for £25.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40And finally, it was tea for two and two for tea.
0:25:40 > 0:25:45A collection of 1950s tea ware bought for £55.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47- Are you OK, you two?- Yes.- Yeah. - It's a bit cold out here.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49- It is cold.- It is a bit chilly.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Now, tell me, darling, which is your favourite piece?
0:25:51 > 0:25:54- The biscuit barrel.- Favourite? - Yeah.- Husband?
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Erm, I'm going to go for the tray with all the pots of coffee...
0:25:57 > 0:26:00- Thermos ware!- That's your favourite? Personal favourite?- Absolutely.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Which is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:26:02 > 0:26:05- Obviously the one that I've chosen. - Yeah, I agree with that one.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08- You agree with it?- Yeah.- Yeah. - OK, how much should you spend?- £96.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- Please may I have £204?- You can.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Gosh, look at that. And the four. How lovely.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15- The all-important four.- Exactly.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19Over to Tom Tom. Thank you, Tom. What are you going to do with it?
0:26:19 > 0:26:23I think I might find something on your same vein.
0:26:23 > 0:26:24- Oh, right.- Ah!- Yes.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26- Might have spotted something... - Stylish and '30s.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29OK, well, sounds intriguing, and good luck with that, Tom,
0:26:29 > 0:26:31because right now, we're going to check out
0:26:31 > 0:26:33what the Blue team bought, aren't we?
0:26:33 > 0:26:36First up, the Blues were drawn to a Moorcroft bowl
0:26:36 > 0:26:39bought for a hefty £138.
0:26:40 > 0:26:45The deal was done for £50 on a 1930s Chelsea flower show medal.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51And finally, a mother-of-pearl penknife was bought for £15.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56- Alec, Ian, how was that for you? - Fantastic.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Slightly expensive taste, perhaps?
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Well, we didn't think we had, but clearly, we do have.
0:27:01 > 0:27:02How much did you spend?
0:27:02 > 0:27:04- £203.- £203.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07I'd like £97 of leftover lolly, please. Somebody got that?
0:27:07 > 0:27:09THEY LAUGH
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Not exactly willing, is he?
0:27:12 > 0:27:14So which is your favourite piece, Ian?
0:27:14 > 0:27:18- I like the first piece, which was a plate.- Did you?- Yeah.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- OK, which is your favourite piece, Alec?- Well, I favoured the bowl.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23I thought the bowl was lovely, but then I quite like the coin.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26And actually, the medal and the knife is really good too. But...
0:27:26 > 0:27:28- Everything, in fact. - Seeing as you've asked for
0:27:28 > 0:27:31a single answer there, I will say it was the bowl also.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34- Do they go on like this all the time?- I'm afraid we did.- Oh, Lordy.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36My face actually aches from laughing.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38That will be most of the programme used up then.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42OK, which piece is going to bring the biggest profit in one sentence?
0:27:42 > 0:27:46- Oh, the Moorcroft, without a doubt. - You think?- I think the knife.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48- Do you?- Mm. - Give it the knife, hey?- Yeah.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51- Now, moving on, very, very quickly. - Thank you kindly.- There you go, CT.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54- Brilliant.- You are unbelievable, everybody knows it.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57- Now you've got to live up to it. - Yeah, and panic, thanks.
0:27:57 > 0:27:58Good luck with that.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Meanwhile, we're shuffling off to the auction
0:28:00 > 0:28:02where we hope it's going to be more work!
0:28:02 > 0:28:03Yeah!
0:28:03 > 0:28:07I've arrived at Richard Winterton's saleroom in the city of Lichfield.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10And I'm with the man himself whose gavel is ready to get into gear.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Richard, good morning to you.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16And good morning to you, and welcome to our lovely city.
0:28:16 > 0:28:17Thank you.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20Now, for the Reds, they've definitely got
0:28:20 > 0:28:24what you might call a Deco-y theme to their purchases.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28First off is the mirror, which is described as Art Deco
0:28:28 > 0:28:30but actually, it could be 1950s, couldn't it?
0:28:30 > 0:28:31- Yeah, could easily.- Yeah.
0:28:31 > 0:28:36It's not spotted or scratched. It's ready to go. What's it worth?
0:28:36 > 0:28:37Erm, it's the sort of thing
0:28:37 > 0:28:40that we'd put four or five together in a lot.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Individually, yeah, it might make ten pounds.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46OK, £16 they paid, so they may get out of trouble with that.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48Next, we've got the biscuit box
0:28:48 > 0:28:51which very much has the look of speed about it, doesn't it?
0:28:51 > 0:28:52- It does.- It does look like '30s.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54Yeah, you know, it's popular.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56There's still people do, you know, like...
0:28:56 > 0:28:58There are Beswick collectors out there,
0:28:58 > 0:29:01but that kind of Deco, sort of, look, £20, 20 to 30.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04- OK. £25 paid, so they paid the right price again, well done.- Yeah.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07And then there's a collection of this chromium-plated stuff.
0:29:07 > 0:29:08- Do you rate it?- Not particularly.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10- You don't?- No, OK, fine.
0:29:10 > 0:29:1115 to 25.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14- Each? - HE LAUGHS
0:29:14 > 0:29:16- They were doing oh-so well. - £15 to £25 then.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18They paid £55.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22I'm not surprised they paid that, but if we get that, I'll...
0:29:22 > 0:29:23- You would be surprised?- Yeah.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25OK. Well, that's your challenge.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28And in case you fail, they'll need their bonus buy,
0:29:28 > 0:29:30so let's go and have a look at it.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33OK, last of the big spenders, you two.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36£96. £204 you had, Tom.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39- Did that burn a hole in your pocket? - It did burn a hole in my pocket...
0:29:39 > 0:29:42- Good.- ..but I wanted to continue our theme...
0:29:43 > 0:29:47- ..and...- Oh!- ..we have the mirror, we have the tea set...
0:29:47 > 0:29:48- That's lovely.- It's nice.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52- ..and this would adorn the mantelpiece.- It would.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55- A proper, Bakelite vintage clock by Jaz.- Oh, it's gorgeous.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57- It's an alarm as well. - And does it work?
0:29:57 > 0:29:58It does. It has been refurbed. Have a look.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01- It's got a look about it, hasn't it? - How much was it?
0:30:01 > 0:30:03Well, there is a story in that.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06Now, you spent a total of £96,
0:30:06 > 0:30:09and I thought, "Well, maybe I should try and match it in one item."
0:30:09 > 0:30:13And it was priced at 130, but I managed to buy it for £80.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15- So you think there's some profit in it?- You reckon?
0:30:15 > 0:30:18Well, there could be a small profit, a small profit, I'm thinking.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21- Right.- All right. Thinking it through?- Thinking about it.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24- I'm not sure that there's a profit in that.- We'll think... Yes, yes.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27Well, you decide after the sale of your first three items.
0:30:27 > 0:30:28But right now, for the viewers at home,
0:30:28 > 0:30:31let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Tom Tom's clock.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33More of the same, I'd say.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36Thomas Plant has gone out to buy something
0:30:36 > 0:30:39that he knows will be popular with his team.
0:30:39 > 0:30:44But that has at least got a real bit of style about it in my view.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46Yeah, I quite like this.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48I have to say, I do. You know, I do like it.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51It's got that look, hasn't it? With the Bakelite and the...
0:30:51 > 0:30:53I love the colour as well. I think it's...
0:30:53 > 0:30:55And they talk about the jazz age and it says Jaz on it
0:30:55 > 0:30:56and it's a French movement,
0:30:56 > 0:30:59and it's an alarum and its got that Cubist look.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02- And it's 20 to 30.- Is that all?
0:31:02 > 0:31:05Well, I think that's a good... Well, for what it is, 20 to 30...
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Ah, I think that is cheap. Come on, Richard.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11- It's got to be 50 to 80. - It could get to 40. No, no, no.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13- Won't it get to £80? - Oh, I don't think so.
0:31:13 > 0:31:14That's what Thomas Plant paid for it.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17Do you think that's £80? Can you see £80 in that?
0:31:17 > 0:31:20- Yes, at top end, I think it could make £80.- OK, OK.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Well, that's only me saying that. That doesn't mean it will do.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26- You're the maestro with the gavel. - Yeah.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28OK, well, I'm going to pop it down on there then.
0:31:28 > 0:31:29It's got half a chance to.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31- It's a nice looker, isn't it? - Exactly.- Yeah.
0:31:31 > 0:31:32- Just like you, Richard.- Yeah.- Right.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34That's it now, for the Reds.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37Moving on to the Blues is the Moorcroft Pottery bowl.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41Now, there is an auction favourite.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43It is...
0:31:43 > 0:31:47The only worry is that it's been heavily restored.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50We've still got £100 on it cos it's a good part and it's a good look.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53- If it didn't have the restorations, you'd be, you know...- 200 to 300.
0:31:53 > 0:31:54Oh, yeah, easy. Double that. Well over.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57Well, £138 was paid.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59That would tell me that they knew there was restorations
0:31:59 > 0:32:00for that price.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03So we might or might not get out of trouble with that,
0:32:03 > 0:32:06but at least you put 100 on it, which is encouraging, thank you.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10Now, the person that won that medal at Chelsea in 1930
0:32:10 > 0:32:12would have been so chuffed, wouldn't they?
0:32:12 > 0:32:14It's a real bit of horticultural history.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16But is anybody going to buy it?
0:32:16 > 0:32:19I'm struggling to think who, what market's going to be there.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23You know, the John Pinches, the name, the box is great.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25You know, it shouts quality at you.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28- I would worry. We've got 15 to 20 on it.- Yeah.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31£50 is the price that was paid for that.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34OK, there's a big question mark hanging over that.
0:32:34 > 0:32:38Anyway, old fruit, how do you rate the fruit knife?
0:32:38 > 0:32:40I like it, and these are always popular.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43You know, there's a growing thing for these fruit knives.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45It's nicely, you know, marked with the silver.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Yeah, it's a seller all day long.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50- 20 to 30.- OK, £15 paid. - That's good. That's OK.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53- So £15 was cheap, wasn't it? - Yeah, I like that.- You like it.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55And after all this schmoozing around,
0:32:55 > 0:32:57they may or may not need their bonus buy,
0:32:57 > 0:32:59but let's go and have a look at it.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02Ian, Alec, how are you? Tickety-boo.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04Very well. Thank you for asking.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08- Good for you. Now, you spent £203, which is magnificent.- We did, yeah.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11You gave 'er indoors £97.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13- You can clearly went out and found something enormous.- Yeah.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15What was it?
0:33:15 > 0:33:17- Go on.- Do you want to go for it, Alec?- Can I?- Yeah.- All right.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21Oh. Er...
0:33:21 > 0:33:24Yes! THEY LAUGH
0:33:24 > 0:33:26- We loved that, didn't we? - Oh, yes. Without a doubt.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28He was going berserk over this thing.
0:33:28 > 0:33:29I said, "You're not having it,
0:33:29 > 0:33:32"We've got no time, we've got to... Come away from it."
0:33:32 > 0:33:35Believe it or not, believe it or not, we almost ran out of time.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37I mean, I know it's difficult to believe
0:33:37 > 0:33:39- because of the amount of chat... - BOTH: That's brilliant.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42- Happy?- I'm thrilled.- I give you your whistle.- What's so brilliant?
0:33:42 > 0:33:44- Absolutely thrilled. - It is... What is it?
0:33:44 > 0:33:45Why did you love it so much?
0:33:45 > 0:33:48Well, it's a commemorative thing for Girl Guides,
0:33:48 > 0:33:51but I just think it's the history behind it.
0:33:51 > 0:33:52My mum said to me, she said,
0:33:52 > 0:33:55"It's always better to have a Girl Guide in your pocket
0:33:55 > 0:33:58- "than a Brownie in your pants." - Yes!- So that's...
0:33:58 > 0:34:01And that is why I fell in love with it.
0:34:01 > 0:34:02And do you know something?
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Do know something, Ian?
0:34:04 > 0:34:05Your mother was exactly right.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07I can't remember, how much were they asking for it?
0:34:07 > 0:34:09- Five quid, no, 15.- £412.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12- 15? Oh, I spent a fiver on it. - OK.- Well done.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15So it's five pound's worth of whistle.
0:34:15 > 0:34:19- And do we have a projected value? - I have no idea!
0:34:19 > 0:34:22- Does it really matter?- It's priceless.- Exactly, it's priceless.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24- That's what it is. - It's priceless.- It's brilliant.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27- I'm thrilled. Thank you for that. - You're very welcome. Any time.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29Well, you've made a geezer very happy.
0:34:29 > 0:34:30Oh, excellent.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32So let's find out for the audience at home
0:34:32 > 0:34:34whether you've made the auctioneer happy.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37OK, Richard, whet that one for me.
0:34:37 > 0:34:41- Look at that, hey.- Chromium plate.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44- Think it's 1950s.- I think it is, isn't it? Girl Guides.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46I've never seen one... I've never seen one with...
0:34:46 > 0:34:48That written with Girl Guides on before, I have to say.
0:34:48 > 0:34:49No, me neither.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52Has it got some commercial value?
0:34:52 > 0:34:53I don't know.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55You know, we've got ten pounds on it.
0:34:55 > 0:35:00- Actually, Christina, as a bonus buy, paid a five-pound note for it.- OK.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02Excellent. Thank you very much, Ricardo.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04- And very, very, very good luck. - Yep, thank you.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15Phil, Kate, look at all these people jammed in here.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17- It's good, isn't it? - Look like buyers to me, Tim.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19They look like buyers.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22Let's hope they're Art Deco buyers, cos that's all you've got to sell.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24- Yeah.- Anyway, and the first lot up is the Art Deco mirror,
0:35:24 > 0:35:27- and here it comes. - AUCTIONEER:- There is the mirror.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Where are you going to be for that mirror? Five pounds.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32- Five to start me. Five, I'm bid. Six, I'm bid.- Come on, come on.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34Eight, I'm bid. Eight pound right away
0:35:34 > 0:35:37In the room at eight pound. Ten pounds. £15, the internet.
0:35:37 > 0:35:38- '£20, the room.'- Yes!- Yes!
0:35:38 > 0:35:40- '25, the internet.' - Look, you're in profit.
0:35:40 > 0:35:41That's marvellous.
0:35:41 > 0:35:4425, I'm bid. 25, I'm bid. 25, I'm bid.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47Sold then at 25.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49That is plus nine pounds.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51You're nine pounds up just like that. Isn't that good?
0:35:51 > 0:35:53- Yes.- Wonderful.- Perfect.
0:35:53 > 0:35:54Now, the biscuit barrel.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57Five pounds again, start me. Nothing on my book.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00Five, six, eight, ten, 15...
0:36:00 > 0:36:02- You get a lot of biscuits in. - '15. Down there at 15.'
0:36:02 > 0:36:05- £15, I'm bid at 15, 15. - Come on, come on.
0:36:05 > 0:36:06- £20.- Thank you. Good girl.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10£25. 25. On my left at 25.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12£25 on the left.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14Selling at 25.
0:36:14 > 0:36:15Aw...
0:36:15 > 0:36:17£25. Wiped its face.
0:36:17 > 0:36:21No pain, no gain, no profit, no loss. Right.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23Now, here comes the tea ware. Stand by.
0:36:23 > 0:36:261950s. This will take you back, some of you.
0:36:26 > 0:36:31£15, I'm bid. 15, 20. Five here. 30 in the room. 30.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33- I'm bid in the room at £30. - Keep going.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37£30. £30 in the room. £30 in the room.
0:36:37 > 0:36:41All done. Sold at 30.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44Oh, no. £30 is minus £25.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46You had nine pounds before,
0:36:46 > 0:36:50which means you are now minus £16.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53But what are we going to do about the Bakelite clock?
0:36:53 > 0:36:56You can park it and maybe have a winning score at minus 16.
0:36:56 > 0:36:57- No, let's go for it. - You want to go for it?
0:36:57 > 0:37:00- Why wouldn't we? - Or do you want to have a punt?
0:37:00 > 0:37:03The old Bakelite clock, do you reckon it's going to beat 80? Thomas...
0:37:03 > 0:37:06- I can't say anything. - No, you're not allowed.- Not allowed.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08- No, it's not going to do it. - You're not going to go for it?
0:37:08 > 0:37:10We're going to park our loss.
0:37:10 > 0:37:11OK, we're not going with the bonus buy,
0:37:11 > 0:37:13but we're going to sell it anyway.
0:37:13 > 0:37:14You may have done a wise move
0:37:14 > 0:37:18cos the auctioneer's estimate is only 20 to 30 on this, so let's see.
0:37:18 > 0:37:19Here we go.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21Quality pure fantastic item. Where are you going to be?
0:37:21 > 0:37:27Interest is on the book. I have £20. £20. 25, £30. 35.
0:37:27 > 0:37:2835, I'm bid.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31£40, 45, £50, 55.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33- Oh.- Not bad.
0:37:33 > 0:37:3555, I'm bid. £55.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37- Go on!- £55.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39£55. The room is out. At £55.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42Sensible move, you two. Sensible move.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45All done. Selling at 55.
0:37:45 > 0:37:4755 is minus 25.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49As it is, you didn't go with the bonus buy,
0:37:49 > 0:37:52you parked it with losses of only £16,
0:37:52 > 0:37:53so you could win on that.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03- Have you been talking to the Reds? - BOTH: No.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06We don't want you to cos we don't want you to know what their score is
0:38:06 > 0:38:08so it doesn't influence your decisions
0:38:08 > 0:38:09when it comes to the bonus buy, all right?
0:38:09 > 0:38:13So this is all a bit secret. You don't know, so that's fantastic.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15Now, first up is going to be your Moorcroft bowl,
0:38:15 > 0:38:16and here it comes.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19It's the orchard design, impressed marks.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21There we go. Lovely thing.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23Where are you going to be? Start me at 100. 80, £50.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25- CAROLINE GASPS - 50, I've got. 50, I'm bid.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27- 60, I'm bid.- It's beautiful.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29- 60, I'm bid.- £60, I'm bid.
0:38:29 > 0:38:3270, I'm bid. 70, right away. In the room at 70.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35- Internet, you're out. - No! More, more, more.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37£80, the internet. £80. £90, the room.
0:38:37 > 0:38:38It's getting there.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41'£90, the room. £90, the room. Internet is out then.'
0:38:41 > 0:38:43- It's in the room.- No, keep going.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45We are selling then at £90.
0:38:45 > 0:38:46Oh, no!
0:38:46 > 0:38:48- I can't bear it.- That hurt.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50That is minus £48.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53- That's a big hit. - That IS a big hit.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56Little medallion now, and a nice little box with it.
0:38:56 > 0:38:57Chelsea Flower Show.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00All you keen on the Flower Show, this is one for you.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Where are you going to be? £20, 15.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04'Fiver to go. Five pounds to start me.'
0:39:04 > 0:39:06Little white medallion. There it is.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Five pounds, six pounds, eight pounds, ten pounds.
0:39:09 > 0:39:10- We loved this!- I know.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12The room, £15. £15.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14It's beautiful.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17£15, you're all done.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20£20. The lady has come in at £20.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23No-one will ever know that you didn't win it at the Flower Show.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25- LAUGHTER - Yours, madam. It's all yours.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27- Aw...- Minus £30.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29My heart!
0:39:29 > 0:39:31You're minus 78, bros.
0:39:31 > 0:39:32THEY SPEAK OVER EACH OTHER
0:39:32 > 0:39:35The silver and mother-of-pearl folding fruit knife.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37Always popular these are. Growing market.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40Ten pound, I'm bid. 15, 18, 20.
0:39:40 > 0:39:41'Five with me.'
0:39:41 > 0:39:45- With me at 25.- Recoup some losses.
0:39:45 > 0:39:4625. All done?
0:39:46 > 0:39:4825.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50- Perfect.- A profit!- Well done.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53That is plus ten pounds. You were minus 78 before.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55You are now minus 68, OK?
0:39:55 > 0:39:56Say that quietly.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59Minus 68. So what are we going to do about the whistle?
0:39:59 > 0:40:02- Well, let's have a think. Yeah! - Yeah.- Yeah.- Definitely.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04OK, fine. They're going with the bonus buy.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07I can tell you now that the auctioneer has estimated ten to £15.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09- Ooh.- That's good. - Might double our money.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11He didn't know why he has, but that's fair enough.
0:40:11 > 0:40:15- He has.- Cos he has taste. - Is that what it is? OK, fine.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18- Five pounds paid for the whistle... - I can't believe it's double figures.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20..let's see what happens, and here it comes.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22Nothing on my book. Where are we going to be?
0:40:22 > 0:40:23Start me. Five pounds.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27- Go on!- Yes!- 'Five pounds.'- Come on.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29Five pounds. Six pounds, the internet.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31- 'Eight pounds, the room.'- Yeah! Oh!
0:40:31 > 0:40:33At eight pounds, the room.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36You've been a bit... Ten pound, front row.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38- Ten!- Ooh! There you go, see.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Her on the front row at ten pounds. Ten pounds.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43- Come on!- And another. £12.
0:40:43 > 0:40:44BLUES: Yes!
0:40:44 > 0:40:46I'll take 14.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49- 14.- Yes! Look at that.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52- Come on.- Keep with me. One little one. 15.
0:40:52 > 0:40:5315.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56THEY CHEER Yes! Oh, you beauty.
0:40:56 > 0:40:57£15, the whistle.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00It's got a good blow on it, I can tell you. £15.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02For old times' sake!
0:41:02 > 0:41:04That's what it's for. That's what we're here for.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07- £15... - BANGS GAVEL
0:41:07 > 0:41:10- £15.- Yes! Thank you very much, thank you very much.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13Plus ten pounds then. That's very nice. Which means overall,
0:41:13 > 0:41:15you're only minus 58.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17TEAM: Yay!
0:41:17 > 0:41:19Just take away the minus figure and it's quite acceptable.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22And who knows? That could be a winning score.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25So say nothing to the Reds and all will be revealed in a moment.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27- Not a word. - Well done. Very sporting, chaps.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29How much fun was that?
0:41:29 > 0:41:30How much fun was that?
0:41:37 > 0:41:39Well, it is marvellous, isn't it?
0:41:39 > 0:41:41- Happy, everybody?- KATE: Hm... IAN:- Tickety-boo. Maybe.
0:41:41 > 0:41:46- Been chatting?- No, no.- Not happy. - I'm marvellously happy.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Marvellously, and so am I marvellously happy.
0:41:48 > 0:41:49In fact, it's been a great day.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51It's no secret, though, that neither team
0:41:51 > 0:41:55is going home with any profits today, which is a sadness
0:41:55 > 0:41:57because we've had a lovely programme.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00And it's simply a question of the scale of the losses
0:42:00 > 0:42:02to determine who is ahead and who is behind,
0:42:02 > 0:42:06because we don't have losers any more, we only have runners-up.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09And the runners-up by a fair old chalk are the Blues.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12- LAUGHTER AND CHEERS CHRISTINA:- Aw!
0:42:12 > 0:42:17But you can reassure yourselves that you made the substantial profit
0:42:17 > 0:42:20- on the fruit knife...- We did.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22- ..and on the bonus buy, so well done for that.- Lovely.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26But it wasn't enough to staunch the losses of that Moorcroft pot...
0:42:26 > 0:42:28- Sadly.- ..for example, which was a pity.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30Thank you for all your humour
0:42:30 > 0:42:34and for keeping us well and truly bubbling along, all right?
0:42:34 > 0:42:36- Ditto.- It has been great fun. Thanks so much.- It has been.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38- Smashing to meet you. - Well done, you pair.- Thank you.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41How lovely. Magnanimous in defeat
0:42:41 > 0:42:44because you're the winners today by only losing £16.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46- BOTH: Yes. - Which is nothing, is it?- Absolutely.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49Started off with a nice profit on the Deco mirror, yes?
0:42:49 > 0:42:51And then we had our wiped face
0:42:51 > 0:42:53and then it went down the proverbial a little bit, didn't it?
0:42:53 > 0:42:55- It did.- Yeah, a bit.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58So we're all ring-fenced and secure.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01- Congratulations.- Thank you.- Thanks. - Victors! Such fun.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03Join us soon for some more Bargain Hunting?
0:43:03 > 0:43:04- Yes?- ALL: Yes!
