Exeter is one of the most historic cities in England, with a past

0:00:020:00:04

dating back to Celtic times.

0:00:040:00:07

And this is the Guildhall,

0:00:070:00:08

a beautiful colonnaded structure in the centre of the city.

0:00:080:00:12

Even the quay here has been around since the Romans built

0:00:130:00:17

the place in 55AD.

0:00:170:00:20

And the Custom House behind me,

0:00:200:00:22

well, that was built in 1680, making it

0:00:220:00:25

the earliest in Britain.

0:00:250:00:27

So steeped is this place in history,

0:00:270:00:30

that our teams have no excuse not to

0:00:300:00:33

come up with a good antique or two.

0:00:330:00:35

So, let's go bargain hunting, yeah!

0:00:350:00:38

The antiques fair here at Westpoint, just outside Exeter,

0:01:050:01:09

is jam-packed with over 400 stalls,

0:01:090:01:13

each of which are stuffed with goodies to tempt our teams.

0:01:130:01:17

Let's take a sneaky peak as to what's coming up.

0:01:180:01:21

Despite all their running around,

0:01:230:01:25

the Reds are in no hurry to hand over any cash.

0:01:250:01:28

You're just all about the money, you don't want to spend any.

0:01:280:01:31

The Blues drive their expert crazy with their catty choices.

0:01:310:01:36

-Look at all those cats.

-That is horrible!

0:01:360:01:39

It is the worst thing I've ever bought.

0:01:390:01:41

And the auction brings some nasty surprises.

0:01:410:01:44

ALL: Oh!

0:01:440:01:45

But before that, let's meet the teams.

0:01:450:01:48

On today's show we have two teams of friends who just happen

0:01:500:01:54

to work together, which is lovely.

0:01:540:01:56

For the Reds we have Ben and Megan,

0:01:560:01:59

and for the Blues we have Jeanette and Mike. Hello, everyone.

0:01:590:02:02

-ALL: Hi.

-Very nice to see you. Now, Ben,

0:02:020:02:05

what exactly do you do for a living?

0:02:050:02:07

I help train and coordinate a team of instructors at a children's

0:02:070:02:10

-residential activity centre.

-You're instructing the instructors.

0:02:100:02:13

-Pretty much, yes.

-What sort of things do they get instructed in, Ben?

-Anything.

0:02:130:02:17

We do a lot of stuff, we do beach stuff, we do rope activities,

0:02:170:02:21

so climbing, abseiling, all sorts of bits and bobs.

0:02:210:02:23

-So it is like working in a holiday camp.

-It really is, it really is fun.

0:02:230:02:26

And you're the holiday meister...

0:02:260:02:28

Pretty much. We have a fun little saying at work, we say,

0:02:280:02:31

"You don't have to be crazy to work here...

0:02:310:02:33

-BOTH: "..but it helps."

-Well, how lovely.

0:02:330:02:36

-There's obviously a jolly nice atmosphere, largely out of doors, then.

-Yes.

0:02:360:02:40

-Pretty much all of it is outdoors.

-Jolly good.

0:02:400:02:43

And you have done some pretty oddball things for charity, I guess.

0:02:430:02:47

I have, yes. I've played a few different games for charities.

0:02:470:02:50

There is a game called throwball.

0:02:500:02:52

-I've walked across the Isle of Wight on stilts before.

-No!

-Yeah.

0:02:520:02:55

-Really?

-Yeah.

0:02:550:02:57

-I... How far is it, 25 miles?

-Yeah, 25 miles, pretty much.

-Gosh.

0:02:570:03:01

So what is it like walking that distance on stilts?

0:03:010:03:03

-It must be quite tiring.

-It was quite tiring.

0:03:030:03:05

Everybody said it was impossible and I would never do it,

0:03:050:03:08

and then when I got to the end and my parents came over the hill,

0:03:080:03:11

-I was, like, "Yes, I'm here, I'm finally here."

-25 miles is quite something.

0:03:110:03:15

Megan, you work in the same activity centre,

0:03:150:03:18

but in a different job altogether. What is your job?

0:03:180:03:21

Ben looks after the activities, I'm the guest care manager,

0:03:210:03:24

so I make sure they are all prepared to come onto centre, and then

0:03:240:03:28

when they get there, I make sure they are having the most fun possible.

0:03:280:03:32

Playing games, singing songs.

0:03:320:03:34

But you're pretty active in your spare time, too.

0:03:340:03:36

I do, I like, oh, I like all sorts of stuff. Baking...

0:03:360:03:40

Um...interior design, I'm a big fan of, I have a little passion for that.

0:03:400:03:44

But interior design, so you are

0:03:440:03:45

going to enjoy going around the fair today.

0:03:450:03:47

I am going to love it, absolutely.

0:03:470:03:49

-Spending 300 of our money.

-Yeah, that's...

0:03:490:03:52

THEY LAUGH

0:03:520:03:53

-So what is your joint approach going to be shopping on Bargain Hunt today?

-We want to go cheap.

0:03:530:03:57

-Do you?

-That's our big plan.

-What, spend nothing?

0:03:570:04:01

-Cheap and cheerful.

-Oh, dear, really?

-Yeah.

-How cheap? Under £50?

0:04:010:04:06

-Under 50p, hopefully.

-Oh, my lord!

0:04:060:04:08

I shall be giving you 300, you know, Ben. Anyway, we shall see,

0:04:080:04:12

because funny things turn out on this programme, I can tell you.

0:04:120:04:15

Anyway, looking forward to it, I hope. Great.

0:04:150:04:18

Now, Jeanette, you might say that the Red Team are our activity

0:04:180:04:21

leaders today, but you two are entertainment leaders, aren't you?

0:04:210:04:25

We most certainly are. I'm the manager of a theatre.

0:04:250:04:28

I book all the acts and take care of all the marketing.

0:04:280:04:31

Drink lots of tea and tell everyone else what to do, really.

0:04:310:04:34

-Smashing job. And you get to go to all the shows?

-Yes, if I want to.

0:04:340:04:38

Some of them I'm a bit selective about and I'll give a miss.

0:04:380:04:41

What, cos they're not much cop? No, I didn't say that.

0:04:410:04:44

Your words, not mine.

0:04:440:04:46

Now, you are also incredibly creative online

0:04:460:04:48

-and in the world of advertising.

-Yes, I blog

0:04:480:04:52

and I write books.

0:04:520:04:53

-Yeah?

-I do, I've written and published a children's book.

0:04:530:04:56

-What's that all about?

-It is about one of my cats.

0:04:560:04:59

-It is called The Adventures Of Dolly Kitten.

-Is it good?

0:04:590:05:03

-Of course it is!

-Have you sold any copies?

-Yes.

-How many?

0:05:030:05:07

Oh, last count...

0:05:070:05:09

ten.

0:05:090:05:10

THEY LAUGH

0:05:100:05:12

Now, Mike, it says here you've known Jeanette for 25 years.

0:05:120:05:15

Yes, we originally met through mutual friends, but lost contact,

0:05:150:05:19

so it has only really been the last two years that we've been reunited.

0:05:190:05:23

So what do you do in the workplace with her?

0:05:230:05:26

Well, I am one of a team of seven, I'm the only man.

0:05:260:05:29

So I predominantly do what I'm told.

0:05:290:05:32

I make the tea, but they do let me look after the bars.

0:05:320:05:35

And we do a lot of outdoor events, so I look after that,

0:05:350:05:38

-so I book all the acts and organise those.

-Lovely.

0:05:380:05:41

But outside work, you are a bit of a sports fanatic.

0:05:410:05:44

-I do love my sport, yes.

-Tell us about that.

0:05:440:05:46

I play tennis, I play some golf.

0:05:460:05:49

And I'm a big supporter of our local football team, Exeter City.

0:05:490:05:53

-Somebody has got to.

-They have.

0:05:530:05:55

There aren't too many of us at the moment. Exactly.

0:05:550:05:58

So what's your tactics going to be with the Reds?

0:05:580:06:01

-I think... We had some tactics, didn't we?

-We did. But they are fairly fluid, aren't they?

0:06:010:06:05

They change on a regular basis.

0:06:050:06:07

-So I don't think we've actually got any tactics any more.

-No.

0:06:070:06:10

OK, just going to go with the flow.

0:06:100:06:12

-Yeah.

-That is very, very good advice, and talking about flow,

0:06:120:06:15

here comes some cash.

0:06:150:06:17

There we go, look. £300.

0:06:170:06:19

You know the rules, your experts await, and off you go,

0:06:190:06:22

and very, very, very good luck.

0:06:220:06:24

Gosh, what ever is going to happen next?

0:06:240:06:27

Ruffling feathers for the Reds today is Phil Serrell.

0:06:300:06:34

The heat is on for the Blue Team, and it's Caroline Hawley.

0:06:340:06:38

Right, Mike, Jeanette, tactics.

0:06:410:06:44

Have we got a plan?

0:06:440:06:45

To be honest, we were going to spend cheap, give you all the money,

0:06:450:06:48

then we were going to blow the lot and give you nothing.

0:06:480:06:51

I'm looking for something cheap, something functional, something quite fun.

0:06:510:06:55

So there's no strategy now, we're just going to see what happens.

0:06:550:06:58

I want something colourful. You can use it.

0:06:580:07:01

-I'm going to take it as it comes, and then Jeanette will decide and tell me what I'm doing.

-Absolutely.

0:07:010:07:05

Might I suggest a profit?

0:07:050:07:07

-Hopefully.

-Fingers crossed.

0:07:070:07:09

Right, teams, your 60 minutes starts now.

0:07:090:07:14

-Hey, let's go.

-Let's go.

0:07:140:07:15

-You definitely don't want sort of nick-nacky tuff, do you?

-No.

0:07:170:07:20

-Why don't we go straight on?

-OK.

0:07:220:07:24

No sooner have the Reds launched themselves into the shop than

0:07:240:07:28

Captain Phil navigates them towards that cheap,

0:07:280:07:31

-functional item they were after.

-Do you like that?

0:07:310:07:34

I do like that.

0:07:340:07:37

-What is it? What is it?

-It is a buoy off a ship.

-OK.

0:07:370:07:41

-I think that is really cool.

-It is different.

0:07:410:07:44

But correct me... It is off a... It is a ship's...not a buoy,

0:07:440:07:48

a... What do they call them?

0:07:480:07:51

What do they call them, Mel?

0:07:510:07:52

-A pile of old rope.

-It is a big lump of rope. Thank you.

0:07:520:07:56

Isn't it wonderful having some technical knowledge? This is a big lump of rope.

0:07:560:07:59

That man's right, it is a fender. And it is just a cool thing.

0:07:590:08:02

So who is going to buy that? It is a decorator's lot at auction.

0:08:020:08:05

Hanging from the ceiling. It would make a great doorstop, wouldn't it?

0:08:050:08:08

-The nautical theme. Definitely.

-Yes, I'm more than happy with that.

0:08:080:08:12

Let's go for it, it's different. Let's do it.

0:08:120:08:15

For you, £10.

0:08:150:08:17

-Special deal.

-Special deal. Shake on it.

-Absolutely.

0:08:170:08:20

-Shake the lady's hand.

-Thank you very much.

0:08:200:08:22

Bargain.

0:08:220:08:24

I'm amazed! On to the next.

0:08:240:08:26

Done. Bish, bash, bosh!

0:08:260:08:29

Ben and Megan are sailing through their shop with that fender,

0:08:300:08:33

or pile of old rope to you and me, bought in just minutes.

0:08:330:08:37

The Blues, meanwhile, are still waiting to make their first purchase.

0:08:370:08:41

-What about this?

-Oh, wow. Aw!

0:08:430:08:46

-Now how much is he? Is there a price on?

-Let's have a look. That's...

0:08:460:08:50

-£35. Vintage dumbwaiter.

-He's quite nice.

-It is quite good.

0:08:500:08:53

But what would it be for?

0:08:530:08:55

Well, I think he would have had a tray originally. Can you see here?

0:08:550:08:58

-Oh, yes.

-Maybe a little glass or tin tray.

0:08:580:09:01

-He'd be great now in a shop.

-Yeah, I think I've seen him in restaurants, things like that,

0:09:010:09:05

-with little menus, or whatever.

-But he could hold your drink for you.

0:09:050:09:09

Do you know what, he sounds better by the minute. I think we should have a word with the stallholder.

0:09:090:09:14

-A small drink is all I'm worried about.

-What do you think? It's £35.

0:09:140:09:17

Really, how much is that likely to make if it went to auction?

0:09:170:09:20

I think it needs to be £20. If that doesn't sound mean.

0:09:200:09:24

-OK.

-We can always find out.

-Should we go have a try?

-Yes.

0:09:240:09:27

Hello, there. Are you all right? We love your dumbwaiter.

0:09:290:09:33

-Do you?

-I don't know if there is anything you can do on the price?

0:09:330:09:35

-What have I got on there?

-You've got £35 on it at the moment.

0:09:350:09:38

-Which is a really fair price.

-That is a very fair price.

0:09:380:09:42

-Is there any movement on it?

-I could to him for 30.

0:09:420:09:45

-It is up to you.

-£30.

0:09:450:09:48

Quite rarely, I think, we are going to agree on something,

0:09:480:09:50

-so I think we ought to go with that.

-We do like him.

0:09:500:09:54

Oh, that's done it! Yeah.

0:09:540:09:57

Is the glass included?

0:09:580:09:59

-STALLHOLDER:

-No, there's another five over there.

0:09:590:10:02

Is that a chipped one? £30.

0:10:020:10:04

Yeah, I think so, that's very kind, thank you.

0:10:040:10:07

Well done, teams, ten minutes gone

0:10:080:10:10

and that's one item down for both of you.

0:10:100:10:13

Meanwhile, Phil's mind has turned to fun and games.

0:10:130:10:16

Do you play chess?

0:10:160:10:18

-Yes.

-We do, actually. We do.

0:10:180:10:22

You play chess. Here we go, follow me.

0:10:220:10:25

Follow me. Follow me.

0:10:250:10:27

Looks as if Phil is a man on a mission.

0:10:270:10:29

-He's found it.

-I saw this earlier.

0:10:300:10:33

-Yeah.

-And I think this is a real cool thing.

0:10:330:10:36

It's a maple frame with what looks like a Jaques chess set,

0:10:360:10:41

but it isn't. Jaques chess sets would make £200-£300.

0:10:410:10:45

But I think it is quite a fun thing,

0:10:450:10:46

and I love the way it's got all these little watercolours.

0:10:460:10:49

-It's different.

-Yeah.

0:10:490:10:51

Can I just ask you, what would be the best on that?

0:10:510:10:54

-STALLHOLDER:

-The chess set, 110,

0:10:550:10:58

on the chessboard, 165.

0:10:580:11:00

-Could I have a look at the board?

-Yes, sure.

-Do you like the board?

0:11:000:11:04

-STALLHOLDER:

-The board's, the thing with...

0:11:040:11:06

-I like the idea. STALLHOLDER:

-The board is the unique thing.

0:11:060:11:09

Do you want to have a look or are we wasting time?

0:11:090:11:12

-I'll leave it up to you, Meg.

-I'm going to say no.

-OK. Yeah, no.

0:11:120:11:16

I do love it. I love all the pictures, but just for the price.

0:11:160:11:19

-Yeah.

-What do you think?

-I agree.

-All right.

0:11:190:11:23

We better go find something else, then.

0:11:230:11:25

The boss has spoken, Phil. You'll have to do better than that

0:11:250:11:28

if you're going to outmanoeuvre the Blues.

0:11:280:11:30

Speaking of which, Jeanette has turned her expert eyes to the ground.

0:11:300:11:34

Just a second, I like this footstool.

0:11:340:11:37

-Ah!

-I'm not sure, though, is it embroidered or a bit of old carpet on the top?

0:11:370:11:41

-A bit of old carpet! Jeannette, did I hear you right?

-I love it.

0:11:410:11:45

A bit of old carpet.

0:11:450:11:47

That is a Victorian footstool,

0:11:470:11:49

embroidered with Berlin wool work. All hand embroidered.

0:11:490:11:54

But at £48, who wants them?

0:11:540:11:57

Well, I live in an old cottage

0:11:570:11:58

so the cats would probably sit on it, in all honesty.

0:11:580:12:01

-Should we move on, then?

-I think we better.

-I give in on this one, then.

0:12:010:12:05

-Yeah, well done.

-Come on!

-Yeah, thanks.

-Yeah.

0:12:050:12:07

A hand embroidered Victorian footstool for your cat is

0:12:080:12:11

just a little bit extravagant, Jeanette.

0:12:110:12:14

Meanwhile, it seems the Reds have driven Phil to drink.

0:12:140:12:18

What about...

0:12:180:12:20

bottles?

0:12:200:12:21

Depends, I don't know how much about...

0:12:210:12:23

-How well do they sell?

-Yeah.

0:12:230:12:25

Chemist jars and drug jars all actually sell quite well,

0:12:250:12:28

but I was thinking, it says here...

0:12:280:12:30

-"Individually priced..."

-Yeah.

-"..good offers considered."

0:12:310:12:34

I was considering making him an offer for the whole lot.

0:12:340:12:38

-The whole lot?

-Every single one of them.

0:12:380:12:40

-SHE WHISTLES

-That's a lot of bottles.

0:12:400:12:43

Can we have a word with you, good sir? Now, we haven't looked at anything.

0:12:430:12:47

-Yes.

-We were kind of thinking how much would all of them be?

-Well.

0:12:470:12:51

-Without picking any of them up, what would all of them be?

-200.

0:12:510:12:54

-I was thinking a lot, lot less than that.

-Yes.

-See, I was thinking half that.

0:12:560:13:00

-Yeah, definitely.

-STALLHOLDER: No.

0:13:000:13:02

What about if we took all of those out and bought the ones at the back?

0:13:020:13:07

-Yeah, just the big ones.

-STALLHOLDER: Just the bigs.

0:13:070:13:10

120.

0:13:100:13:12

Oh! But again, it is very expensive.

0:13:120:13:14

If we bought them, would £100 buy just the ones at the back, forgetting...

0:13:140:13:18

these here?

0:13:180:13:20

-Yes, done.

-Right, can we think about it?

-Have a think.

0:13:200:13:24

-Could you hold them for us for just half an hour?

-Yes, no problem.

0:13:240:13:27

-You are an absolute gentleman, thank you very much indeed.

-Cheers.

0:13:270:13:30

Time is ticking, teams, you're nearly halfway through.

0:13:310:13:34

So, it is time to start making some decisions.

0:13:340:13:37

It's your spending money, isn't it? You don't want to spend the money,

0:13:370:13:40

-do you?

-No.

-That's the issue.

-I know.

0:13:400:13:42

-You do not want to spend the money.

-Very stingy.

0:13:420:13:44

-We want to go low.

-OK. You want to go low. Right.

0:13:440:13:48

Let's keep going.

0:13:480:13:49

For the Reds, it's all about the price tag.

0:13:500:13:53

Unfortunately for the Blues, Jeanette knows exactly what

0:13:530:13:56

she likes.

0:13:560:13:57

Oh, my word, I love that!

0:13:590:14:02

-I love it. Look at all those cats.

-I knew we'd find cats. I didn't think we would find that many.

0:14:020:14:07

-That is horrible!

-I know, but it's fantastically horrible.

0:14:070:14:10

-Again, we are going to agree on this.

-What, it's so kitsch it's great?

0:14:100:14:13

-I think we are in the realms of that.

-I'm speechless.

0:14:130:14:16

-Jeannette, I am speechless.

-What does it say on the ticket?

0:14:160:14:20

What does it say?

0:14:200:14:22

-"The Queen and her court..."

-Oh!

-It was meant to be.

0:14:220:14:26

"..by Carol Lawson." Jeannette, it has been reduced...

0:14:260:14:29

-I wonder why.

-..you wanted cheap, from 85 to 55,

0:14:290:14:33

and I'll wager he'll reduce it an awful lot more.

0:14:330:14:37

-Should I go and give it a go?

-I would.

-I'm going to try.

-Hello, sir.

0:14:370:14:41

Our lovely lady, Jeannette, would like a word with you.

0:14:410:14:44

-I'm the crazy cat lady.

-Right.

0:14:440:14:46

I like that, they hate it.

0:14:460:14:49

I need to prove them wrong.

0:14:490:14:51

Can you please do a really, really rock bottom,

0:14:510:14:54

good deal on that for me?

0:14:540:14:56

-£35.

-How much?

-35.

0:14:560:14:59

-And that's it.

-Oh, so tempting.

0:14:590:15:02

I think we've got to shut up. Should we let her have it?

0:15:020:15:04

-I think she's going...

-I was going to ask you if it would make money, but I'm not even that bothered.

0:15:040:15:09

-I just really like it.

-You don't care.

-£35.

0:15:090:15:12

-Thank you very much.

-She's doing it.

-I thought she would.

-Thank you.

0:15:120:15:16

You can pick the next one. I promise.

0:15:160:15:18

And it is not going to have cats on it, either.

0:15:180:15:21

The boss has spoken,

0:15:220:15:24

but not everyone is as happy as Jeanette with the purchase.

0:15:240:15:28

I'm over the moon with my purchase.

0:15:290:15:31

It is just hideous, it is the worst thing I've ever bought.

0:15:310:15:35

I don't think you'd find another one like that. You wouldn't want to find another one like that.

0:15:350:15:39

The other item, I think, is OK.

0:15:390:15:42

But the cats, no.

0:15:420:15:44

Oh, dear, but at least they've bought two items.

0:15:440:15:47

Come on, Reds, time to get back in the game!

0:15:470:15:49

Oh, Ben!

0:15:500:15:53

-Yes, yes, yes.

-I like it.

-I'm excited.

0:15:530:15:56

How much is your chess set, please?

0:15:560:15:59

Would you like the proper price or your price?

0:15:590:16:02

-I'd like a low price.

-The price, to be honest with you, is £300.

0:16:020:16:06

But...

0:16:060:16:07

..you want to win, don't you?

0:16:080:16:10

-BEN: Always.

-We do.

0:16:100:16:12

STALLHOLDER: 180. I can't go any less.

0:16:120:16:14

-BEN: I prefer it to the bottles. I'd rather buy this for 180 than the bottles for 100.

-Yes.

0:16:140:16:18

I'm only telling you what I think.

0:16:180:16:20

I truthfully believe that if you buy that and put it into an auction,

0:16:200:16:23

if you have an average day, it is £60-£90 worth.

0:16:230:16:26

If you get two chess fiends there, it could make...

0:16:260:16:30

-£200.

-Yeah.

-But you are really in the lap of the gods.

-Without those fiends.

0:16:300:16:34

-That's what I think.

-Yeah.

0:16:340:16:36

-I think we should go with Phil.

-I'm happy to go with Phil.

0:16:370:16:40

We are going to make a loss on it.

0:16:400:16:41

I think you will, but if you've seen this programme before,

0:16:410:16:44

you will have noted that I ain't always right.

0:16:440:16:46

-We trust you, though, Phil. Let's keep going.

-Let's go round this way.

0:16:460:16:50

Ha-ha, how sweet of you to trust Mr Serrell.

0:16:500:16:54

But I can feel a storm brewing if you don't buy another item soon.

0:16:540:16:58

Speaking of which...

0:16:580:17:01

I think it's my turn next.

0:17:010:17:02

What's the weather doing today, then?

0:17:050:17:07

Well, according to this jobbie, it tells us that the

0:17:070:17:11

weather is getting better.

0:17:110:17:13

Now this is a type of barometer that is extremely rare. It's called

0:17:130:17:16

a mystery barometer, because it tricks your eye.

0:17:160:17:21

It is difficult for you to tell exactly how the mechanism

0:17:210:17:25

that does the barometer pressure, forecasting bit can possibly

0:17:250:17:30

be within a plain, glazed dial like this.

0:17:300:17:34

That is your mystery.

0:17:350:17:37

And once upon a time, one of the rarest,

0:17:370:17:40

and certainly one of the most expensive,

0:17:400:17:43

forms of timekeepers

0:17:430:17:46

was, and still is, a mystery time piece.

0:17:460:17:49

Because a clockmaker called Cartier

0:17:490:17:53

designed a type of dial that

0:17:530:17:55

was entirely made of sheets of glass,

0:17:550:17:58

and this mystery barometer

0:17:580:18:00

is a development of the same idea.

0:18:000:18:03

The truth of the matter is that the barometer mechanism

0:18:030:18:06

sits inside that trumpet base, and there are leavers and cogs

0:18:060:18:10

coming off that, which ultimately pull on this very

0:18:100:18:14

fine steel wire

0:18:140:18:16

that goes up to the central barrel.

0:18:160:18:18

And that central barrel will move and alter the position,

0:18:180:18:22

depending on what the pressure is doing on the white arm.

0:18:220:18:25

It's got a name on it. CP Goerz.

0:18:250:18:28

And Mr Goerz established his workshop in Berlin,

0:18:280:18:32

in about 1880, and I would guess

0:18:320:18:35

that it's probably about 1910 to 1920.

0:18:350:18:39

So it's rare, it's in great condition,

0:18:390:18:42

and if it could talk to me, it might tell me

0:18:420:18:45

how it finished up on the dealer's stand around the corner.

0:18:450:18:48

It might also tell me how that dealer

0:18:480:18:51

got to value it at £60, because

0:18:510:18:54

that is the price that you could buy this barometer today,

0:18:540:18:58

here in Exeter. Now, for me, the pressure is clearly rising,

0:18:580:19:02

because, in my view, in a scientific instrument sale,

0:19:020:19:06

this rarity could bring anywhere between £600 and £900.

0:19:060:19:11

So...

0:19:110:19:12

rare barometer... and a pretty fancy profit.

0:19:120:19:16

Back to the shop floor, it's Phil's blood pressure that's rising.

0:19:170:19:21

After an astonishingly speedy first purchase,

0:19:210:19:24

he's now struggling to get the Red Team to

0:19:240:19:26

put their hands in their pockets and spend some more money.

0:19:260:19:30

-You really just want to spend as little as amount of money as possible.

-Low, low, low.

0:19:300:19:34

-Have a look at this.

-OK.

-I think that's a real fun thing, right?

0:19:350:19:39

-It's a laundry basket.

-Yeah.

-OK?

0:19:390:19:42

I think that would be great in a child's bedroom,

0:19:420:19:44

toy box, decorated kitchen.

0:19:440:19:46

-What do you reckon?

-It's a good size.

0:19:460:19:49

What's the very, very, very, very, very, very...

0:19:490:19:53

best?

0:19:530:19:55

45, and you know you've got a good buy at that. You stand a chance.

0:19:550:19:59

It's a lovely... It's large.

0:19:590:20:01

-That...

-It's got wooden supports underneath.

0:20:010:20:04

BEN: Let's have a look.

0:20:040:20:06

-Sturdy.

-These are brass, I think.

0:20:060:20:08

They polish up nicely.

0:20:080:20:10

£40 would fit in your price parameter, wouldn't it?

0:20:110:20:14

-It would, yes.

-£40.

0:20:140:20:17

-Yeah, it's functional.

-What do you think? Would you be able to...

0:20:170:20:20

OK.

0:20:200:20:22

-Good man.

-I think we can go with that.

0:20:220:20:24

-STALLHOLDER: As you are young people.

-Oh!

0:20:240:20:26

-Are you including me in that?

-Of course.

-Thank you so much.

0:20:260:20:29

-Let's do it.

-Yeah, we need to buy something.

0:20:290:20:33

I'm going to go sit down in a darkened room, I can't be doing with this.

0:20:330:20:36

-Get out.

-I'll leave you...

0:20:360:20:38

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

0:20:380:20:39

-Nice.

-Done.

0:20:400:20:41

Cor, finally.

0:20:430:20:44

Phil may need a lie down, but at least Ben and Megan

0:20:440:20:47

have splashed some cash, however paltry.

0:20:470:20:50

What took them so long?

0:20:500:20:52

It's a funny old world, this, life changes so quickly.

0:20:520:20:55

We are a minute into this, we've got our first item bought, it is

0:20:550:20:58

cheap, fantastic, home and hosed.

0:20:580:21:01

I actually really like this ball of rope, it speaks to me,

0:21:010:21:04

-it's got such character, I love it.

-It has all gone downhill since then, it has just...

0:21:040:21:08

We saw a couple of things, they were very expensive.

0:21:090:21:13

-We liked them, we didn't love them.

-It is just all about the money!

0:21:130:21:16

They don't want to spend any!

0:21:160:21:18

It seems that both teams are losing their way. Just one more purchase.

0:21:180:21:22

Please! Come on, your time is nearly up.

0:21:220:21:26

What do you think about those? What about that?

0:21:260:21:29

They are different, what are they?

0:21:290:21:32

Uh, I thought this was going to be Mike's choice.

0:21:320:21:35

-Which way are we going to go?

-I don't think we've been that way.

0:21:390:21:42

-Which way?

-Down that way.

-Right, come on. Quick.

0:21:420:21:44

-We'll go, I'll follow you!

-Yeah, thank you!

0:21:440:21:46

-The next stall, Mike, you have to choose something.

-Yeah.

0:21:460:21:50

-If you LET him...

-Oh, wow, time's running out. Come on.

-Oh... Erm, piglet.

0:21:500:21:55

-Come on, less than 5 minutes to go.

-Oh, look!

-Oh, look, what?

0:21:550:22:00

I love the train.

0:22:000:22:01

-Choo-choo! Do you?

-Do YOU?

-Yeah, I do actually.

0:22:030:22:06

-I'm a boy, so I love trains.

-Do you not think?

0:22:060:22:08

-What do you think, Caroline?

-Is that a biscuit tin?

0:22:080:22:10

-STALLHOLDER:

-It isn't actually. No, it is a battery toy, but...

-Oh, I see!

0:22:100:22:13

-I really like that, I think it's...

-I do as well.

-..cute.

0:22:130:22:16

Is there a little bit off the price at all? Is there any movement?

0:22:160:22:18

-STALLHOLDER:

-18.

-15? 15 and we'll have it.

0:22:180:22:22

-16 and you can have it.

-15.

0:22:220:22:24

-16 is a good price.

-16...

-Are you happy? 16? And is it YOUR choice?

0:22:240:22:29

-It IS my choice, actually.

-Well done.

-We'll have it!

-It a good choice.

0:22:290:22:34

-Thank you, sir.

-Thanks very much. Cheers.

0:22:340:22:36

You don't know how happy you've made him, he's had a choice. Thank you.

0:22:360:22:41

Well, was it really? They've made all three of their buys.

0:22:410:22:44

But for the Reds, it's still full steam ahead.

0:22:440:22:47

'With only one minute to go, they've suddenly remembered those bottles.'

0:22:470:22:51

Right, OK... Phil, come on!

0:22:530:22:56

-Sir!

-Ooh...

0:22:560:22:58

You wouldn't have any of these full for personal consumption, would you?

0:22:580:23:01

-With poison written on them?

-STALLHOLDER:

-No!

-We think we...

0:23:010:23:04

Well, we haven't got any option because we've run out of time.

0:23:040:23:07

Can we buy the bottles off you, please?

0:23:070:23:08

-STALLHOLDER:

-You can do, indeed!

-Gentleman, thank you very much.

-Super. Thanks very much.

0:23:080:23:13

-Shake on it. Thank you so much.

-Thanks a lot. Lovely.

0:23:130:23:16

-Right, teams, time's up.

-Ooh, my...

-THEY LAUGH

0:23:160:23:20

Let's shed some light on what the Red Team bought.

0:23:220:23:25

Well, they certainly didn't go overboard with their first buy,

0:23:270:23:31

A fender, bought for just £10.

0:23:310:23:35

Next up, with the laundry basket, which cost them £40.

0:23:350:23:39

And after a mad dash, they splurged £100 on the chemist's bottles.

0:23:410:23:46

Wow!

0:23:460:23:49

Right, Ben, Megs.

0:23:490:23:50

-That was a very, very big spurt at the end, wasn't it?

-Don't!

-Yeah.

0:23:500:23:55

Now, which is your favourite piece, Megs?

0:23:550:23:57

-Oh, erm, definitely the first thing that we bought.

-Was it? OK.

0:23:570:24:01

-The rope ball.

-Yeah, as you do.

-Yeah, brilliant.

0:24:010:24:04

-What about you, Benbo?

-I think I agree with Meg. Yeah, the rope ball.

0:24:040:24:07

-I'm a little bit dubious about the bottles. I'm sorry, Phil, but...

-OK.

0:24:070:24:10

So, that's your favourite favourite.

0:24:100:24:12

-Is the rope jobbie going to bring the biggest profit?

-I think so

0:24:120:24:14

because we spend so little on it, which was our plan originally.

0:24:140:24:17

-Yeah.

-That's where we'll make most money.

-Yeah.

-OK, well,

0:24:170:24:20

you weren't going to spend much, what did you finish up by spending?

0:24:200:24:24

-We spent 150 in total!

-Don't worry, girl!

0:24:240:24:26

-£150 is a proper amount. Where is the £150 leftover lolly?

-There we go. That's for you.

-Lovely.

0:24:260:24:31

-Thank you very much. That goes straight over to the maestro.

-Oh!

0:24:310:24:34

The maestro who can convert £150 into £300 just like that,

0:24:340:24:37

-right, Phil?

-Well, yeah, yeah,...

0:24:370:24:39

I'm going to try and spend everything that they didn't.

0:24:390:24:42

Good for YOU. That's what I like. That's what I like, that spirit. Thank you, Philip.

0:24:420:24:46

Why don't we, though, check out what the Blue team bought?

0:24:460:24:49

Jeanette and Mike proved they wear no fools,

0:24:490:24:52

paying £30 for this dumb waiter.

0:24:520:24:55

And much to Caroline's dismay, cat lover Jeanette convinced them

0:24:550:24:59

to buy this pottery figure for £35.

0:24:590:25:02

Oh, dear... And Mike tried to keep things on track

0:25:020:25:05

with his choice of vintage toy train, which set them back just £16.

0:25:050:25:10

Well, there's a bit of disharmony in the ranks here, I would say.

0:25:100:25:15

So, there we are, we can't always agree about everything, right?

0:25:150:25:18

-Well, it's only because they have got such bad taste.

-Exactly.

0:25:180:25:20

You tell 'em Jeanette, you tell 'em! Now, how much did you spend?

0:25:200:25:23

Erm, £81.

0:25:230:25:26

Then I would like £219 leftover lolly, please, which is

0:25:260:25:29

-a huge wodge.

-Thank you very much.

-Not at all. It's a great pleasure.

0:25:290:25:33

Erm, so, you didn't invest much. Which is your favourite piece?

0:25:330:25:37

-Oh, the cathouse.

-The cathouse. Do you agree with that? Why?

0:25:370:25:40

-I do like the cathouse...

-Yes.

-..in a weird sort of way.

0:25:400:25:43

-But I like the dumb waiter that we bought.

-OK.

-I like that one a lot.

0:25:430:25:46

And will that bring the biggest profit, do you think?

0:25:460:25:48

I have a horrible feeling the cathouse

0:25:480:25:49

will bring the biggest profit.

0:25:490:25:51

Will the cathouse bring the biggest profit?

0:25:510:25:53

Sadly, I don't think it will.

0:25:530:25:54

-I think it will be our tin train.

-Do you?

-Yeah.

-OK, see what I mean?

0:25:540:25:57

They're all over the shop.

0:25:570:25:58

Poor Caroline! Anyway, here you are, darling.

0:25:580:26:01

-There's your compensatory package for the day.

-Thank you. Thank you very much!

0:26:010:26:04

Which means you can go out and buy half the fair!

0:26:040:26:07

-It's a lot of cash, isn't it?

-A lot of cash.

0:26:070:26:10

-I'm not going to buy anything with cats on it.

-No, please don't.

0:26:100:26:13

Quite right too.

0:26:130:26:15

Nothing fe-LINE but something that you have a fee-LING will

0:26:150:26:17

-bring a big profit.

-Exactly. Exactly!

-Ooh, choose wisely!

0:26:170:26:20

Anyway, very, very good stuff. OK, relax up for a second or two

0:26:200:26:24

because we're about to head off to the auction.

0:26:240:26:27

Well, we've crossed the county line from Devon into Somerset

0:26:370:26:41

and come to Crewkerne to join Richard Kay. Richard, hello.

0:26:410:26:44

Hello, Tim! Welcome back.

0:26:440:26:46

Now, the Red Team have got a macabre selection of stuff.

0:26:460:26:49

For a kick-off, they've got this fender, made of rope. Do you rate that?

0:26:490:26:53

-Erm, skilfully made object, I think it is a wonder to behold.

-Mm.

0:26:530:26:56

And I can see it being a stylish doorstop,

0:26:560:26:59

since we are in a county with a coastline.

0:26:590:27:02

But it's a great deal of work and it's in pretty good condition.

0:27:020:27:05

-It's not threadbare, it's not worn.

-No! It's a tour de force, really.

0:27:050:27:08

-Yeah.

-What's it worth?

-£15-£20.

-Perfect. They only paid £10.

0:27:080:27:11

That's a very good start. We move from rope to wicker.

0:27:110:27:15

-That's a big one, isn't it?

-It is a big one.

0:27:150:27:17

And rather like the fender, which we just spoke about, that is

0:27:170:27:20

also a rather nice original. What we call country house condition.

0:27:200:27:24

It's never been restored but it's never been damaged.

0:27:240:27:27

-It's got all it handles and all its clasps and locks in place.

-Yeah.

0:27:270:27:30

And it's not beginning to uncurl,

0:27:300:27:32

-like some enormous pencil sharpening!

-No.

0:27:320:27:34

-So, it's in rather good shape.

-What's your estimate?

0:27:340:27:37

I think it's £20-£30.

0:27:370:27:40

OK, well if you sell it for £20, that's half what they paid

0:27:400:27:43

-because they paid £40.

-We'll hope for more.

-Of course we do.

0:27:430:27:46

Now, lastly is this great group of chemist's medicine bottles.

0:27:460:27:52

I mean, this is just a fraction of them.

0:27:520:27:54

There's every shape and size and these are about

0:27:540:27:57

a sixth of the whole lot, so they've

0:27:570:27:59

really managed to buy quite a large quantity.

0:27:590:28:02

So, cunning monkey, Serrell, he's done it.

0:28:020:28:04

Yeah, he's done it very well, I think.

0:28:040:28:06

Because there's plenty of interest here. People do like old bottles.

0:28:060:28:10

-Probably ideally a bit older than some of these.

-Yes.

0:28:100:28:13

But there are some nice old labels on here.

0:28:130:28:16

Well, P Serrell thought he'd done very well at £100 for the lot.

0:28:160:28:19

Do you think he's done very well at £100?

0:28:190:28:21

I think that's a little more than we'd expect for them.

0:28:210:28:24

-But I can see them making £60.

-Can you?

-Mm!

0:28:240:28:26

So, you've got an estimate of what...£40-£60?

0:28:260:28:28

-£40-£60, yeah.

-Well, OK, fair enough.

0:28:280:28:30

Slightly depending on whether they need to

0:28:300:28:33

fend off with it or whether they need to take some poison,

0:28:330:28:35

will determine whether they need

0:28:350:28:37

the bonus bar or not, but let's go and have a look at it.

0:28:370:28:40

This is fun, isn't it?

0:28:400:28:41

-(Yes!)

-You spent £150, which is quite magnificent.

0:28:410:28:43

I mean it was medium magnificent.

0:28:430:28:45

And £150 went to P Serrell and he's looking particularly impish today.

0:28:450:28:50

-Well, I spent £150.

-What?

-Ooh...

0:28:500:28:53

-Great.

-Every last penny went.

0:28:530:28:55

-Are you ready for this?

-OK...

0:28:550:28:58

-Aaah! Ha-ha! We've seen this!

-Have you?

0:29:000:29:02

Is that a maple frame?

0:29:020:29:04

Oh, he knows! Yeah, a maple frame chessboard.

0:29:040:29:07

And I just think it's lovely with these little watercolours.

0:29:070:29:09

I think it's clearly been made as a chessboard,

0:29:090:29:12

not to hang on the wall or anything like that.

0:29:120:29:14

But it's just, I just love it. I got it for 150 off the guy.

0:29:140:29:17

Whether this is the right sale for it or not, I don't know.

0:29:170:29:20

But I think, to a couple of chess people, I think

0:29:200:29:23

that's between £150 and £250, is what I think.

0:29:230:29:27

I'm a fan. I love it.

0:29:270:29:28

-I love the individual pictures.

-Yeah...

0:29:280:29:31

I think he's done well for us.

0:29:310:29:32

Again, if I liked it that much, we probably would have bought it...

0:29:320:29:35

Yeah, other people are going to buy it, though, that's the issue.

0:29:350:29:39

-That's true.

-Yeah.

0:29:390:29:40

We need two people to want to buy it.

0:29:400:29:42

And if you've only got one, I'm between a rock and a hard place.

0:29:420:29:46

-And so are you.

-Yeah, but you're grown-up, Phil, aren't you?

0:29:460:29:50

OK, got that? Got the message?

0:29:500:29:52

Anyway, think it through because right now,

0:29:520:29:55

we're going to find out whether the auctioneer is indeed going to

0:29:550:29:58

put Phil between a rock and a hard place.

0:29:580:30:01

Right then, Richard. For at least half your life at Sotheby's,

0:30:020:30:05

you were a picture specialist.

0:30:050:30:07

What do you make of these little miniature watercolours?

0:30:070:30:11

Well, they're not great quality watercolours.

0:30:110:30:13

Erm, they look like amateur sketches, probably clipped

0:30:130:30:15

from a sketchbook and trimmed down to make this chessboard.

0:30:150:30:19

Also, sadly, they've been in the sun a bit too long,

0:30:190:30:22

-so nearly all of them have lost most of their colour.

-OK.

0:30:220:30:26

Well, I think it's a bit unsatisfactory, I have to say.

0:30:260:30:28

But anyway, Philip clearly loves it

0:30:280:30:30

because he's invested a large amount of money in this.

0:30:300:30:33

What do you think it is going to bring?

0:30:330:30:34

Well, I am concerned that he spent a lot of money on it

0:30:340:30:37

because I think it might only be £30-£50.

0:30:370:30:39

Well, you have every reason to be concerned

0:30:390:30:41

because Phillip Serrell paid £150 for that.

0:30:410:30:45

And if the team go with it, they could be in perilous territory.

0:30:450:30:49

-They could.

-Anyway, that's the excitement of the programme.

0:30:490:30:52

That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.

0:30:520:30:55

Gosh, what a group we've got here. Starting out with our dummy fellow.

0:30:550:30:59

Do you think he's holding a plate or is

0:30:590:31:01

he holding a menu outside a restaurant?

0:31:010:31:03

That's what they're for, aren't they?

0:31:030:31:05

That's what they're for.

0:31:050:31:06

I think that just offers a flat surface for something to be put on,

0:31:060:31:09

-whether it is a glass or whether it's a...

-Tip.

-Yes, or tip, exactly.

0:31:090:31:12

Is that the sort of thing that's going to make any money in the auction?

0:31:120:31:16

I don't think that's terribly well made.

0:31:160:31:18

Erm, the proportions are all wrong.

0:31:180:31:20

And it's not very well cut or carved or coloured.

0:31:200:31:23

-So, I think it's probably only £15-£25.

-Not so far off.

0:31:230:31:28

They only paid £30. I think it's fun enough.

0:31:280:31:30

And as they say, not to worry.

0:31:300:31:32

Erm, next we've got one of the most hideous things I've seen on

0:31:320:31:35

Bargain Hunt for some years, is this ceramic collage of pussycats.

0:31:350:31:40

I'm feeling quite unwell looking at it. Erm, how do you feel?

0:31:400:31:44

Well, I share your nausea about this

0:31:440:31:47

because I think it's got the slight decoration for

0:31:470:31:51

a teenage girl's bedroom feel about it.

0:31:510:31:54

And that isn't great distinction when it comes to porcelain.

0:31:540:31:57

I think Jeanette's gone into overdrive, bless her.

0:31:570:32:00

And I hope she does very, very well with it. But what is your estimate?

0:32:000:32:03

-£5-£10?

-I'm with you. £35 was paid.

0:32:030:32:07

So, that that is a bit of a long chalk away.

0:32:070:32:09

Mark you, two cat fanciers and anything could happen.

0:32:090:32:14

And lastly, they've got their vintage Japanese toy train.

0:32:140:32:19

-A bit rusty, that, isn't it?

-It is a bit rusty.

-Play-worn.

0:32:190:32:22

I was going to say, if you're buying it, it's rusty.

0:32:220:32:24

-If you're selling it, it's play-worn.

-Exactly.

0:32:240:32:26

I think it's got great charm and if

0:32:260:32:28

you're going to buy an object made of tin,

0:32:280:32:30

of that sort of era, then a train with a cheerful little chap

0:32:300:32:33

-in the back of it is rather nice.

-Good. OK, how much?

0:32:330:32:37

-Well, I think that could make £20 or £30.

-Do you really?

-Mm.

0:32:370:32:41

-You are amazing, Richard. £16 paid.

-I think that's pretty good value.

0:32:410:32:45

That could claw back some of the losses on the little pussies,

0:32:450:32:48

-couldn't it?

-I hope it will.

0:32:480:32:50

-Whether it will quite claw back it all, I don't know.

-No.

0:32:500:32:53

Anyway, moving on, let's have a look at the bonus buy.

0:32:530:32:56

Well, I can't believe this. £219 of left over lolly went to Caroline.

0:32:560:33:03

It's unbelievable this.

0:33:030:33:05

Caroline, what did you spend it on, darling?

0:33:050:33:08

-Well, I spent it on this.

-Oh, now that's a bit posh.

0:33:080:33:11

It is posh. A bit posh for us.

0:33:110:33:13

Yeah, you're not wrong.

0:33:130:33:15

Now be careful because the ink well might just slip off.

0:33:150:33:19

You know, you've given it away now, I was about to ask what it is.

0:33:190:33:22

That's very posh, isn't it?

0:33:220:33:23

I think I'm going to hand this to Mike,

0:33:230:33:25

-cos if he drops it then he can get into trouble.

-I thought you might.

0:33:250:33:28

I'll take the ink well out.

0:33:280:33:29

There we go, everybody's then relaxed.

0:33:290:33:31

So, who would have made this and how old is it?

0:33:310:33:34

It's typically Victorian.

0:33:340:33:36

It's not the finest quality.

0:33:360:33:38

The finest quality of this would have been inlaid.

0:33:380:33:41

But this is beautifully painted with fuchsia.

0:33:410:33:44

It's a pretty object

0:33:440:33:45

and I think that would still look nice on the desk.

0:33:450:33:48

How much did you pay for it? The number one question.

0:33:480:33:51

-£130.

-Oh, OK.

0:33:510:33:53

I still like it.

0:33:530:33:54

Not as much as I did but I still like it at £130.

0:33:540:33:57

Do you think it might make money?

0:33:570:33:59

I think it will wash its face but it depends who's here.

0:33:590:34:02

-Well, you've got two here that like so they must...

-Do you two like it?

0:34:020:34:05

-Yes, it's very nice.

-Well I like it, so that's three.

0:34:050:34:07

Well, on that happy note,

0:34:070:34:08

let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about the encrier.

0:34:080:34:12

-Well, Richard, that's a shocker, isn't it?

-It's not too bad.

0:34:130:34:16

You clearly don't like it that much.

0:34:160:34:18

-I'm not a huge fan of it but I don't share your distaste.

-OK.

0:34:180:34:22

So what are its pluses for you then?

0:34:220:34:23

Well, its pluses are is that it's pretty much complete.

0:34:230:34:26

But the overall furnishing appeal of the item,

0:34:260:34:30

-if that's what you're looking for, isn't bad.

-OK, fine.

0:34:300:34:33

I suppose it's all down to the price point, isn't it?

0:34:330:34:36

Well, I think £40-£60.

0:34:360:34:38

I rest my case. £130 was paid.

0:34:380:34:41

Oh, that is a concern

0:34:410:34:42

because I don't think we're going to get even halfway there.

0:34:420:34:45

Well, there we go.

0:34:450:34:46

So, we have a problem with the bonus buy with regards to the chessboard

0:34:460:34:50

and we have a problem with the bonus buy with regard to the encrier.

0:34:500:34:54

So let's just hope that the teams today don't go with

0:34:540:34:58

the bonus buy, otherwise we're going to be in deep shtoom.

0:34:580:35:01

-Happy?

-Happy.

-Very happy.

0:35:090:35:11

I mean, this is fun, isn't it?

0:35:110:35:13

Great big space and this is their weekly sale.

0:35:130:35:16

Everybody here will be here to buy.

0:35:160:35:19

-Bottles.

-Bottles, well, mainly.

0:35:190:35:21

-A lot of bottles.

-Like chemist bottles. Great.

0:35:210:35:24

Now, first up is the ship's fender and here it comes.

0:35:240:35:28

Lot 444 is a rope knot ship's fender.

0:35:280:35:32

And I have £10 bid on this.

0:35:320:35:34

£10 is bid.

0:35:340:35:36

£10 bid.

0:35:360:35:37

It's an absentee bid at £10.

0:35:370:35:39

I'll sell at £10.

0:35:390:35:41

Are we done? £10 then?

0:35:410:35:44

-I'm selling at £10.

-He's selling at £10.

0:35:440:35:45

£10, it's wiped its face. No profit, no loss.

0:35:450:35:49

No pain, no shame.

0:35:490:35:51

We're doing we'll, we're doing we'll.

0:35:510:35:53

Here's the laundry basket.

0:35:530:35:54

Who'll say £10 for that? £10 for it?

0:35:540:35:56

£10 is bid. £12 now.

0:35:560:35:58

£15. £18. £20.

0:35:580:35:59

Come on, come on, come on.

0:35:590:36:01

£20. It's the lady's bid at £20.

0:36:010:36:03

£25.

0:36:030:36:04

£30.

0:36:040:36:05

£35.

0:36:050:36:06

£40.

0:36:060:36:07

£40 now. Still to my right. In the room at £40.

0:36:070:36:10

One more, one more, one more.

0:36:100:36:11

Selling this one at £40.

0:36:110:36:13

At £40.

0:36:130:36:15

£40, it's wiped it's face.

0:36:150:36:17

We have two wiped faces.

0:36:170:36:19

Now, this has to do better. Come on.

0:36:210:36:24

Lot of them there and bids here start me at £50.

0:36:240:36:28

£55 is bid.

0:36:280:36:29

OK. Keep going.

0:36:290:36:31

£60 now. £65. £70. £75.

0:36:310:36:33

There's a couple of people.

0:36:330:36:34

£80. £85. £90. £95.

0:36:340:36:36

One more.

0:36:360:36:38

£100. £110. £120. £130.

0:36:380:36:40

You're in profit. Well done.

0:36:400:36:41

£130 with me.

0:36:410:36:43

At £130 I'm selling this one.

0:36:430:36:45

It's in the book.

0:36:450:36:46

At £130, it's against you in the room.

0:36:460:36:48

Last time at £130.

0:36:480:36:50

Well done, lads. That is very, very respectable.

0:36:500:36:54

That is plus £30. Well done, Phillip.

0:36:540:36:55

I know you worked hard on the acquisition of those jars

0:36:550:36:58

and it seems to be a subterfuge that worked.

0:36:580:37:02

That's great, isn't it? Two wiped faces plus £30.

0:37:020:37:05

So overall you're plus £30.

0:37:050:37:07

What are you going to do about the chess board?

0:37:070:37:08

-What do you think?

-We said no.

0:37:080:37:11

I like it, but I don't think we're going to... No.

0:37:110:37:14

-We said no if we made anything.

-Definitely?

0:37:140:37:16

Definitely no. Thank you but no thank you.

0:37:160:37:19

We got the message there. Very good.

0:37:190:37:21

Well, now that you've decided not to go with the bonus buy,

0:37:210:37:25

I can tell you what the auctioneer's estimate is.

0:37:250:37:27

It was £30-50.

0:37:270:37:29

Good choice.

0:37:290:37:30

So he, frankly, didn't rate it.

0:37:300:37:32

Anyway, here it comes.

0:37:320:37:34

It's a maple-framed chessboard. Set with painted watercolours.

0:37:340:37:39

£25 for it.

0:37:390:37:40

£25 for it.

0:37:400:37:42

-That's no money.

-£25 anywhere?

0:37:420:37:44

At £25.

0:37:440:37:45

£20 then?

0:37:450:37:46

At £20.

0:37:460:37:47

They've gone down to £20 and no-one's bidding.

0:37:490:37:51

-£15, if you will.

-Check-that-mate.

0:37:510:37:53

At £15.

0:37:530:37:54

£10 is bid.

0:37:540:37:56

£12 now. £15.

0:37:560:37:58

£18.

0:37:580:37:59

£18. It's the back wall at £18.

0:37:590:38:01

It wasn't as bad as that, Phil.

0:38:010:38:02

I think I'd be embarrassed to sell that, if I was him.

0:38:020:38:05

£15. All done.

0:38:050:38:06

He has no shame.

0:38:060:38:08

£18.

0:38:080:38:09

Well, we aren't going to dwell on that.

0:38:090:38:12

As it happened, that was the right thing to do, girls and boys.

0:38:120:38:15

And, overall, you are plus £30.

0:38:150:38:17

Yes! Brilliant.

0:38:170:38:19

There you go. And just don't tell the blues, all right?

0:38:190:38:22

-We won't. We'll keep shtoom. OK,

-fine.

0:38:220:38:24

-Well, do you know how you the reds got on?

-No idea.

0:38:310:38:34

We don't want you to, Mike.

0:38:340:38:36

Now, Jeanette, is there anything you wish you hadn't bought?

0:38:360:38:39

Well, I'm hoping that nobody buys my cat house

0:38:390:38:42

because I'd like to take that home.

0:38:420:38:44

Well, people have been pretty sniffy about that on the expert

0:38:440:38:46

end of life. In fact, the auctioneer has put £5-£10 on it.

0:38:460:38:50

-As much as that?

-If you're lucky. But, first up, it's the dumbwaiter.

0:38:500:38:55

And here it comes.

0:38:550:38:56

It's a painted wooden dumbwaiter.

0:38:560:38:59

£15 for it. £15 anywhere for it?

0:38:590:39:02

-At £15.

-£15?

0:39:020:39:03

£10, if you will.

0:39:030:39:05

£10 is bid.

0:39:050:39:07

£12 now.

0:39:070:39:08

£15. £18.

0:39:080:39:10

£18. It's the lady's bid at £18.

0:39:100:39:12

I'm selling this one at £18.

0:39:120:39:15

Are we done? Last time then at £18.

0:39:150:39:17

Oh, Lord. That's minus £12.

0:39:170:39:20

-Bad luck.

-Oh, dear.

0:39:200:39:21

Now, the pottery figure.

0:39:210:39:23

This is it. This is it.

0:39:230:39:25

Of the Queen and her Court.

0:39:250:39:27

£5 for that. At £5, anywhere?

0:39:270:39:30

-£2 then?

-I think he's struggling.

0:39:300:39:33

£1, if you will?

0:39:330:39:34

Oh.

0:39:340:39:35

£1 is bid at the back the room.

0:39:350:39:37

£1 only and I'm selling it at £1.

0:39:370:39:38

No way.

0:39:380:39:40

That is fantastic.

0:39:400:39:43

Jeanette, that's minus £34.

0:39:430:39:44

I wanted to retire on that tomorrow.

0:39:440:39:46

Look out, here comes the train.

0:39:460:39:48

Japanese made.

0:39:480:39:49

And £20 for that. £20 for it.

0:39:520:39:54

-Yeah, it's quality.

-£10 then.

-What's the matter with these people?

0:39:540:39:57

Opening bid at £10 on my left. Selling at £10.

0:39:570:39:59

We're £10 only? And I'm selling it at £10.

0:39:590:40:01

£12 now. £15.

0:40:010:40:02

£18.

0:40:020:40:03

£20.

0:40:030:40:05

£20. It's your bid, madam. At £20 on my right.

0:40:050:40:07

-And I'm selling this one at £20.

-Look at that!

0:40:070:40:10

-£20.

-It's left the station.

0:40:100:40:12

£20 - plus £4.

0:40:120:40:14

You were minus £46, which means you're minus £42.

0:40:140:40:18

What are we going to do about the inkstand?

0:40:180:40:20

Are we going to go with that?

0:40:200:40:22

-Hmm... Were we going to go with it?

-Oh, go on.

0:40:220:40:24

Oh, well. It's not over till the cat lady sings.

0:40:240:40:26

Let's just go for it, shall we?

0:40:260:40:29

-Are you sure?

-Yeah.

-Yes.

0:40:290:40:31

OK, we're going to go for it.

0:40:310:40:32

Now you've decided that,

0:40:320:40:33

I have to tell you the auctioneer's only estimated £40-60.

0:40:330:40:36

You never know.

0:40:360:40:37

OK, the decision's made. We're going with in any way.

0:40:370:40:40

And here it comes.

0:40:400:40:41

The walnut and painted inkstand.

0:40:410:40:43

Decorated with fuchsias.

0:40:430:40:45

Interest here. Bids start me at £55.

0:40:460:40:50

£60. £65 is bid.

0:40:500:40:52

Here we go.

0:40:520:40:54

£65 I'm bid. £70 now. £70.

0:40:540:40:57

It's in the room at £70.

0:40:570:40:58

Clears my book at £70 and I'll sell this one at £70.

0:40:580:41:01

Come on.

0:41:010:41:02

Last time at £70.

0:41:020:41:04

That is minus £60 to add to £42 is minus £102.

0:41:040:41:10

Nothing could be worse than that cat.

0:41:100:41:12

Anyway, say nothing to the reds.

0:41:120:41:14

All will be revealed in a moment.

0:41:140:41:16

Thank you very much.

0:41:160:41:17

Well, well, well, well, well.

0:41:240:41:26

You lot been chatting?

0:41:260:41:28

-Not about the score.

-No.

-Ah.

0:41:280:41:29

I can rely on you for your lips to be sealed.

0:41:290:41:32

Because today there is a chasm between our teams.

0:41:320:41:36

I cannot believe that these teams have shopped in the same place and

0:41:360:41:40

sold in the same place and achieved such an amazingly different result.

0:41:400:41:45

Because the result today for the runners-up is a disaster

0:41:450:41:49

and the runners-up are the blues.

0:41:490:41:51

-No, what a shock.

-Yes.

0:41:510:41:53

Minus 102 smackers.

0:41:530:41:55

-Is that all?

-Yeah.

0:41:550:41:57

I don't think that thing with the pussycats helped a heck of a lot.

0:41:570:42:01

-Didn't work, did it?

-They just don't have any taste here, that's all.

0:42:010:42:04

The big thing is, Jeanette, have you had a nice time?

0:42:040:42:06

-I've had a marvellous time, it's been lots of fun.

-And Mike?

0:42:060:42:09

-Has it been cool for you?

-Yes, fantastic. Thank you very much.

0:42:090:42:12

Well, anyway, thank you very much for joining us.

0:42:120:42:14

But the victors today... The kids are going to go home with...

0:42:140:42:17

The kids!

0:42:170:42:19

The victors today, the kids are going to go home with money.

0:42:190:42:22

-There we go, look.

-Thank you.

0:42:220:42:24

-£30, which is quite a result, isn't it?

-Excellent.

0:42:240:42:28

-Yeah, have you had a good time?

-We're super happy.

-It's been swell.

0:42:280:42:31

I mean, that bonus buy, boy.

0:42:310:42:33

That goes into the annals of bonus buys, doesn't it?

0:42:330:42:36

I mean, it has to be the cheapest 32 watercolours that one can

0:42:360:42:41

possibly see sold at auction, Philip.

0:42:410:42:43

Anyway, we've had a great day.

0:42:430:42:44

In fact we had such a lovely day,

0:42:440:42:46

why don't you join us soon for some more bargain hunting. Yes?

0:42:460:42:49

ALL: Yes!
