0:00:05 > 0:00:07Welcome to Scotland. We've got two teams,

0:00:07 > 0:00:11two potty-trained experts ready for some Highland haggling.

0:00:11 > 0:00:13Let's go Bargain Hunting, yeah!

0:00:37 > 0:00:39Today we're north of the border,

0:00:39 > 0:00:42at the Edinburgh Antiques and Collectors' Fair.

0:00:42 > 0:00:44Here's a wee taste of what's to come.

0:00:46 > 0:00:51Two teams of best mates go head-to-head. The feisty Reds...

0:00:51 > 0:00:54- You haven't seen the boys. - You haven't seen them yet.

0:00:54 > 0:00:55We need to beat the boys.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58..and the Tartan-troosered Blues.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00We're got to win this. You'll help us win this.

0:01:00 > 0:01:04- I'll take you on a night out in Glasgow with the winnings.- Whoo!

0:01:04 > 0:01:06Right, let's recap on the rules.

0:01:06 > 0:01:10But surely everybody knows what the rules are.

0:01:10 > 0:01:12- How long do they get to shop? - One hour.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15- How many things do they have to find?- Three.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18- And how much do they have to spend? - £300.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21Exactly right. The team wins that makes the most profit

0:01:21 > 0:01:24or the least loss later over at the auction.

0:01:24 > 0:01:28Now, let's meet today's contestants.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33- Hello, everybody, welcome.- Hello. - Lovely to see you.

0:01:33 > 0:01:37Now, Jane and Pauline. How did you first meet, Jane?

0:01:37 > 0:01:39Well, Pauline and I both do...

0:01:39 > 0:01:43are members of the Edinburgh Gilbert and Sullivan Society,

0:01:43 > 0:01:47- so we sing on stage each year together.- And dress-up.- Yes.- Yes.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50- Done HMS Pinafore yet? - We have.- We have, yes.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53- That's a rollicking good laugh, isn't it?- It is.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56- Now, Jane, it says here that you've seen the world.- Yes.

0:01:56 > 0:01:59I've travelled to various countries throughout the world.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01Loved every minute of it.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03Why aren't you mentioning the Australian Navy?

0:02:03 > 0:02:07Well, I was in that for seven years, communication sailor.

0:02:07 > 0:02:12- Where did the Australian Navy take you?- I saw a lot of Southeast Asia.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15- Pacific Islands, went to Hawaii twice, New Zealand.- Sounds tough.

0:02:15 > 0:02:19- It was tough. Hard.- What do you do with your free time now?

0:02:19 > 0:02:21Now I'm more into my cake decorating,

0:02:21 > 0:02:24- which I've been trying to establish as a business.- Excellent.

0:02:24 > 0:02:27Pauline, you're no stranger to being on the telly, are you?

0:02:27 > 0:02:31Well, no. In my earlier life, when I was slightly younger,

0:02:31 > 0:02:33I did quite a lot of extra work.

0:02:33 > 0:02:36And did local shows, little Scottish shows like Rebus,

0:02:36 > 0:02:41Taggart, River City, just plodding about in the background.

0:02:41 > 0:02:43And you've got to be very patient.

0:02:43 > 0:02:47You do. You sit around for a long time, but it's good fun.

0:02:47 > 0:02:49When I was younger, I got a real buzz out of it.

0:02:49 > 0:02:53- Now, you find yourself quite often at antique fairs.- I do, yes.

0:02:53 > 0:02:55I love going to antique fairs.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57I think you'll do rather well.

0:02:57 > 0:02:58In fact, I think you'll do so well

0:02:58 > 0:03:00that these Blues are quaking in their boots.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03- Are you quaking?- Quaking.- Yep.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06They look handy, these women, to me. Anyway...

0:03:06 > 0:03:09Seb, you met Tom first as an opponent, didn't you?

0:03:09 > 0:03:11We did, on the rugby pitch, that's right.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13- Where did you play? - I was on the wing.

0:03:13 > 0:03:16- I'm not sure what position he was. - I was on the bench.

0:03:16 > 0:03:20Most of the time, Tom, I guess. Well, good fun.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22What sort of things do you collect?

0:03:22 > 0:03:26Um, I'm not a massive collector of any sort of objects,

0:03:26 > 0:03:28but I studied archaeology at university.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30I like the story behind objects.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33- Things like that.- Will you be going for something really ancient today?

0:03:33 > 0:03:37- Quite possibly.- Some old lump of stone or iron, if you can find it.

0:03:37 > 0:03:41- A bit of pottery.- You never know, these things make money at auction.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44- I've heard they do. - And are desirable. Tom, it says here

0:03:44 > 0:03:46- that you're a milk broker.- Yeah.

0:03:46 > 0:03:50I've never met a milk broker before. Tell us what he does.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53Well, basically, I work for a family friend's dairy company.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55What we are trying to do is get everyone in the country

0:03:55 > 0:03:59to have milk delivered instead of buying it from a supermarket.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01Is this going to cream off the profit from the supermarkets?

0:04:01 > 0:04:03I hope so.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05- You're also a collector? - Well, my father

0:04:05 > 0:04:08used to take me to antique fairs when I was very young.

0:04:08 > 0:04:12I remember the first thing I got was a 17th-century writing desk

0:04:12 > 0:04:14- at Hopton House.- Really!

0:04:14 > 0:04:18It had lots of little secret pockets, that's why I liked it.

0:04:18 > 0:04:21What sort of things will you be going for today, do you think?

0:04:21 > 0:04:22Got any idea?

0:04:22 > 0:04:27- A vase.- Yeah, I think so. - Got to be a vase, does it?

0:04:27 > 0:04:28I don't think anything in particular.

0:04:28 > 0:04:32You're going out there with an open mind. We'll have fun today.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35Now, at the money moment. Here you go, £300 apiece. £300.

0:04:35 > 0:04:39- Thank you.- You know the rules. Your experts await. And off you go!

0:04:39 > 0:04:41And very, very good luck.

0:04:41 > 0:04:4317th-century writing desk, eh?

0:04:43 > 0:04:46Mmm. I could do with one of those.

0:04:46 > 0:04:48We have just the chaps to help out

0:04:48 > 0:04:53not one but the two sets of Reds and Blues today.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55With the Red team is a man who knows an antique fair

0:04:55 > 0:04:58like the back of his hand - Mr Charles Hanson.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01And the Blues will be benefiting from the expertise

0:05:01 > 0:05:04of the ever so knowledgeable Scot Paul Laidlaw.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06Who's going to come out on top? Let's find out.

0:05:06 > 0:05:10Seb, am I right? You guys are competitive between yourselves?

0:05:10 > 0:05:13There's always been a bit of friendly rivalry between us.

0:05:13 > 0:05:18- And what's the plan?- To win! - Really? Just to win?- Yes.

0:05:18 > 0:05:22- Your rivalry today is aimed at the red blighters, yeah?- Yep.

0:05:22 > 0:05:24- We're going to win. - We're going to win!

0:05:24 > 0:05:29- We're not getting beaten by two guys in tartan trews.- Exactly.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32- Let's go that way. - Let's go this way.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35And so, they're off to do some serious shopping.

0:05:35 > 0:05:39Feel a love with the dealer, OK?

0:05:39 > 0:05:41And that will then invite you into the object.

0:05:41 > 0:05:45So, if it jumps out at you for whatever reason.

0:05:45 > 0:05:46A strong reaction is what we need.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49I quite like wee boxes.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52- Looks rugged on top.- Exactly. And what's it all about?

0:05:52 > 0:05:54- Winning.- Winning. - Exactly.- Winning.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57- This is for us.- I've got too many at home.- Too many at home?

0:05:57 > 0:06:00Early days! Don't jinx us! Early days!

0:06:00 > 0:06:05It's a bit early to be raising the silverware, blokes!

0:06:05 > 0:06:08Both teams are scouring the aisles for that perfect bargain.

0:06:08 > 0:06:13Jane has already spotted something right up her baker's street.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16- I like the cake stand there.- Yeah. - That looks really lovely.

0:06:16 > 0:06:18- That's nice. - Could we have a look at it?

0:06:18 > 0:06:21- Apt for you, with your cakes. - That would be. ..Thank you.

0:06:21 > 0:06:25- Why would it be apt for you, Jane? - Because I bake cakes.

0:06:25 > 0:06:28- Yeah.- And I just love it.

0:06:28 > 0:06:32- I love it as well.- Is that really...?- It's wood.- It is.

0:06:32 > 0:06:33It is an ebonized wood. It's lacquered.

0:06:33 > 0:06:36It's made to imitate maybe Japan, with these pagodas.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39And the quality is really very good.

0:06:39 > 0:06:44- It's barely been touched by sponge cakes over the years.- Yes.

0:06:44 > 0:06:48- Is it old, though? - It's probably, I think, 1920s.

0:06:48 > 0:06:53- It says 130, but that is too much. - I would guide it cautiously.- Yeah.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56Hello there. Best price, madam?

0:06:56 > 0:07:00I have 130 on it, but I could come down to 90.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03- Could you do 75? - 80 would be my very best.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06We're early into the hour, aren't we? It's an early morning.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09- Can we come back?- Absolutely, we can come back, can't we?

0:07:09 > 0:07:14- Of course, yes.- There we are. - Thank you.- That's lovely.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17So, that's one to throw into the mix, Reds.

0:07:17 > 0:07:19Let's see if it rises later.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22How do you feel about instruments? I'm looking at the microscope.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24- I think microscopes are cool. - I like it.

0:07:24 > 0:07:25I think it's an interesting object.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28But I think, if we were taking it to an auction,

0:07:28 > 0:07:31as far as like choosing something weird,

0:07:31 > 0:07:33the chances of someone being there who is going to buy

0:07:33 > 0:07:36a 19th-century microscope...

0:07:36 > 0:07:38- I know, but...- Have faith.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40- But...- The markets' eyes are on that auction.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42It doesn't matter how obscure it is.

0:07:42 > 0:07:44It didn't jump out at me, that's all I'm saying.

0:07:44 > 0:07:49Well, let's hope you find something that does jump out at you soon, Tom.

0:07:49 > 0:07:53- What's this?- A silver mint box. - Made by Garrard.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55It's only plate. It's just silver-plate,

0:07:55 > 0:07:56but it has a good maker.

0:07:56 > 0:07:58At your dining table...

0:07:58 > 0:08:02Pass your mints, like so, with this lovely case.

0:08:02 > 0:08:07- It's quirkier.- Novel, quirky, now the really important factor...

0:08:07 > 0:08:09- We would use that at a dinner party. - Would you really?- Yes.

0:08:09 > 0:08:13- We would.- I like that. - Yeah, it's different.- Yeah.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16- How much is it?- 18.- 18.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18- Wait for it.- 18!- Yeah.

0:08:18 > 0:08:23How does it go again? How does it go? Don't sound too surprised, OK?

0:08:23 > 0:08:2618? That's quite expensive.

0:08:26 > 0:08:28- 18!- 18, yes.

0:08:28 > 0:08:31You'll have to work on your poker faces, girls.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34- What would be your best price? - 12.- For 12?

0:08:34 > 0:08:35- Oh!- I'd buy that.

0:08:35 > 0:08:37- I really like that. - Could you do it for ten?

0:08:37 > 0:08:39- OK, then.- Thank you!

0:08:39 > 0:08:41- My lovely assistant. - Thanks very much.

0:08:41 > 0:08:43Reds have got themselves one in the bag,

0:08:43 > 0:08:47but will dish make a mint at the auction? Not to be outdone,

0:08:47 > 0:08:50Paul has spotted something that could fly in the saleroom.

0:08:50 > 0:08:55What do you have there? 1930s, 1940s.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58Rather nice alabaster, onyx.

0:09:00 > 0:09:04- It is quite solid.- Good frame, rather nice enamelled gilt,

0:09:04 > 0:09:05RAF pilot's wings.

0:09:05 > 0:09:10- Very elegant. And no little chips or nicks or cracks.- Looks good.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14- No, it's in good condition. - How do you feel about that?

0:09:14 > 0:09:19Pretty good, but can we get it for less than £50?

0:09:19 > 0:09:23- I think you need to. - 25. It has to be 25.

0:09:23 > 0:09:25The thing is, nobody uses picture frames any more.

0:09:25 > 0:09:28It's all done by computer.

0:09:28 > 0:09:32- 35, that's it. - 30. We'll pay 30 for it.

0:09:32 > 0:09:34And then we'll win this, you'll help us win it.

0:09:34 > 0:09:3735, you'll win anyway.

0:09:37 > 0:09:41- 32, we'll take it for 32. Done. - Guys, you bought something.

0:09:41 > 0:09:45Tom's brokering skills obviously aren't restricted to milk.

0:09:45 > 0:09:50Well done, Blues. One down, two items and 45 minutes to go.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52The Reds have only spent £10 so far.

0:09:52 > 0:09:56Will they go for something big next or something more compact?

0:09:56 > 0:10:01- What do you think of this, Charles? - Oh, that's nice.- Isn't it lovely?

0:10:01 > 0:10:04A little compact. You've got your lipstick,

0:10:04 > 0:10:07your powder and your perfume compact in this one here.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09Yeah, you've got your powder there with your mirror.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11- And music.- A musical one.

0:10:11 > 0:10:14- It's £20.- Do you think we could get a deal on them with two?

0:10:14 > 0:10:17- I thought you want to win. - BOTH: We do.

0:10:17 > 0:10:21- To win, isn't that spending big? - Right. Well, then, let's go.

0:10:21 > 0:10:26- Come on. Come on.- What do you think? - We'll go elsewhere.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28If you could buy them for half price...

0:10:28 > 0:10:32Knowing you need some money, knowing her female collectors

0:10:32 > 0:10:35in her Glasgow saleroom, that would happily make about £35.

0:10:35 > 0:10:39- Really?- So there's a big profit there. How much?

0:10:39 > 0:10:41- For 14.- 14.

0:10:41 > 0:10:44- Look at me.- Ten?- 12.- Aw!

0:10:44 > 0:10:46Seeing as it's my favourite, ten.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48Thank you!

0:10:48 > 0:10:51- Ten.- £10?- 10!- Thank you!

0:10:51 > 0:10:55- I think it'd be rude not to say, "Go for it."- Yes, please. Thank you.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57£10. That's a wonderful thing.

0:10:57 > 0:11:01- It's compact, quite literally. It's a neat object.- I love it!

0:11:01 > 0:11:04Well done, Reds, but you are hardly blowing the budget.

0:11:04 > 0:11:07We've only spent £20 so far. For two items.

0:11:07 > 0:11:09Charles wants to buy something...

0:11:09 > 0:11:12bigger that we spent a bit more money on.

0:11:12 > 0:11:14- Yeah, something that's not £10. - LAUGHTER

0:11:16 > 0:11:17So far, the cake-mad Reds

0:11:17 > 0:11:20have the edge, with two items under their fleeces,

0:11:20 > 0:11:23but the boys have proved that they can do a mean bit of haggling.

0:11:25 > 0:11:28Whenever you go to Glasgow, you want to go to Glasgow

0:11:28 > 0:11:30with an object really made for the place.

0:11:30 > 0:11:34- This looks like Rennie Mackintosh. - Exactly.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37Exactly. OK? Feel the romance.

0:11:37 > 0:11:41- OK. Can we think about?- Say again? - Can we think about it?- Of course!

0:11:41 > 0:11:43- We've still got time. - We have time.- I love it.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47At the very least, we can use them to find a bargain.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49LAUGHTER

0:11:49 > 0:11:51Well, they've managed to find something all right.

0:11:51 > 0:11:54They've been looking for one of these.

0:11:54 > 0:11:57- What's the vase? - It's WMF.- Is it?

0:11:57 > 0:12:00Mind your language, please(!) LAUGHTER

0:12:00 > 0:12:04Late 19th, early 20th century. The inspiration here...

0:12:04 > 0:12:06It's made in Wurttemberg.

0:12:06 > 0:12:10The inspiration is clearly Eastern and of the Orient.

0:12:10 > 0:12:13- Was it made to be trendy? - I love that question.

0:12:13 > 0:12:17In its day, positively avant-garde, I suspect.

0:12:17 > 0:12:22- It's 125!- Yeah, but we could get it for £60.- No, you couldn't.

0:12:22 > 0:12:24You did not say that.

0:12:24 > 0:12:27No, seriously. No, no, no.

0:12:27 > 0:12:30It's a 20-quid piece, and I've seen them at that.

0:12:32 > 0:12:35I would do it for 45, but I'm not happy with anything less.

0:12:35 > 0:12:36What do you think?

0:12:36 > 0:12:4040? We've got to win this. You got to help us win this.

0:12:40 > 0:12:43- We'll take you on a night out in Glasgow with the winnings.- Woo!

0:12:43 > 0:12:44LAUGHTER

0:12:44 > 0:12:4640 and we nailed it.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51- OK.- Yeah! - Loving your work. Thanks for that.

0:12:51 > 0:12:54- Thank you.- It's yours.

0:12:54 > 0:12:58- Thank you very much.- Hey, two down. - One to go.- Get in there.

0:12:59 > 0:13:02I think we've done fantastically well so far.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04I think we're doing tremendously.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06I mean, we got two great, great bargains

0:13:06 > 0:13:08and we've got plenty of time left to go hunting.

0:13:08 > 0:13:12- Yeah.- So, both teams are after that all-important third item.

0:13:12 > 0:13:17They both have plenty of moolah left and the clock is ticking.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19We should go for something really big. Something really big.

0:13:19 > 0:13:23- Are we going big? - Yes.- Are we going really big?

0:13:23 > 0:13:25Anything here that grabs your attention or move on?

0:13:25 > 0:13:28- Let's move.- Let's do it. Thanks very much.

0:13:28 > 0:13:32As time starts to run out, Jane is becoming obsessed.

0:13:32 > 0:13:34- Another cake stand?- Yeah.

0:13:34 > 0:13:37Listen, I think, let's leave the cake stands...

0:13:37 > 0:13:40I don't think we've heard the last of those stands.

0:13:40 > 0:13:44There's the microscope. Is there anything else we saw and went...?

0:13:44 > 0:13:46I'm not keen on the microscope. I don't like it.

0:13:46 > 0:13:48I think the chances of finding someone who is going to buy

0:13:48 > 0:13:51a 19th-century microscope are not going to happen.

0:13:51 > 0:13:54- You're wrong.- Yeah, I knew you were going to say this, but...

0:13:54 > 0:13:57- Well, look... - I think we should think bigger.

0:13:57 > 0:13:59I'm just trying to come up with things that, a minute to go,

0:13:59 > 0:14:01we could run and nail.

0:14:01 > 0:14:04Feeling the pressure, Blues? You're not the only ones.

0:14:04 > 0:14:07It's decision time for the Reds. And guess what?

0:14:07 > 0:14:12It must be, I think, that lacquered cake stand with a bit more discount.

0:14:12 > 0:14:16- Yes.- If that's feasible. Where was it?- There.- Come on, then.

0:14:16 > 0:14:19Oh, I hope it's still there.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22Minutes to go, Paul has spotted a pair of potential prize-winners.

0:14:22 > 0:14:26They're modern, so maybe the boys will take a shine to these.

0:14:26 > 0:14:29- I like your Orrefors decanters. - Beautiful.- Aren't they?

0:14:29 > 0:14:32- May we have a look? - Yes. Good weight to them.

0:14:32 > 0:14:33Guys, what do you think?

0:14:33 > 0:14:36This is what they're famed for. This is wheel cutting.

0:14:36 > 0:14:37And it does what it says.

0:14:37 > 0:14:40Lovely, high-quality crystal.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43Bear that. What do you think?

0:14:43 > 0:14:47I live above a pub called The Stag, so I think it's genius.

0:14:47 > 0:14:51- 90 would be the bottom.- 90's it?- 90.

0:14:51 > 0:14:57If we could get it for 60, then we would be all over it.

0:14:57 > 0:14:58Is there any more in that?

0:14:58 > 0:15:01I'd go another fiver, but that is really pushing it. 85.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03So it would be 85.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05I think we should go for it.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07I like them and I think it's a risk worth taking.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09Go on, squeeze out another fiver. Do us a favour.

0:15:09 > 0:15:11You have to do it for 80, otherwise we'll end up

0:15:11 > 0:15:13with this horrible microscope.

0:15:15 > 0:15:20- Go on, then, £80.- Yes! Good. - Thank you very much.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23I'll be having chips without the fish for tea tonight(!)

0:15:24 > 0:15:25Well done, Blues.

0:15:25 > 0:15:30Down to the wire and three items haggled and bagged like proper pros.

0:15:30 > 0:15:33Meanwhile, as the kitchen timer is about to ping,

0:15:33 > 0:15:35our Red team have returned to their cake stand.

0:15:35 > 0:15:39Either it's still there or it's "scone"!

0:15:39 > 0:15:43Our final curtain is almost here. We've got about three minutes to go,

0:15:43 > 0:15:47- and we quite like your cake stand. - I'd quite like it to sell.

0:15:47 > 0:15:51- Would you really?- Oh, yes! - How much? How much?

0:15:51 > 0:15:54- Just for £80.- Really?

0:15:54 > 0:15:5675?

0:15:56 > 0:15:58- Please?- That's painful.

0:15:58 > 0:16:02- I was saying...- I know, it's just that we've got to beat these guys.

0:16:02 > 0:16:03I know, I know.

0:16:03 > 0:16:05- You haven't seen the boys. - You haven't seen them yet.

0:16:05 > 0:16:06We need to beat the boys.

0:16:06 > 0:16:09And you'll say, "I did the girls a good turn."

0:16:09 > 0:16:12- Right. Well, we have to stand up for girl power.- Absolutely.

0:16:12 > 0:16:14- 75.- Thank you!

0:16:14 > 0:16:18- Excellent, 75.- Yeah.- Sure? - Yeah.- Sure?

0:16:18 > 0:16:21You'll leave me with all that money to go out and really blow it?

0:16:21 > 0:16:23- Yeah.- Well, I'm in, then. We'll take it.

0:16:23 > 0:16:26- Excellent, thank you.- Well done, guys. £75, give her a hand.

0:16:28 > 0:16:30That's it, time's up.

0:16:30 > 0:16:32The shopping's done.

0:16:32 > 0:16:35We can now take the items to auction, and we've travelled across

0:16:35 > 0:16:38to the Great Western Auction Room in Glasgow,

0:16:38 > 0:16:42but first let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.

0:16:43 > 0:16:48The lady bakers in red couldn't resist a slice of the cake stand.

0:16:48 > 0:16:50It cost them £75.

0:16:50 > 0:16:53The silver-plated mint box was a snip at a tenner.

0:16:53 > 0:16:57Will the Garrard & Co name help sweeten that price?

0:16:57 > 0:17:01And the plated and mother of pearl compact came with

0:17:01 > 0:17:05a £10 price to match. They're hoping to make up wads.

0:17:05 > 0:17:08- Now, girls, you spent £95.- Yes.

0:17:08 > 0:17:09Which was truly pathetic.

0:17:10 > 0:17:13And £205 of leftover lolly went to Charles.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15Charles, what did you buy?

0:17:15 > 0:17:19I always like to try and spend the whole lot. I really do.

0:17:19 > 0:17:20So I bought something very stylish,

0:17:20 > 0:17:23and hopefully right for the area of Glasgow.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25- And it's that.- I knew it!

0:17:25 > 0:17:28- What do you mean you knew it? - We looked at that.

0:17:28 > 0:17:29Oh, yes, we did. I know.

0:17:29 > 0:17:31- I knew you'd go back and buy that.- I did.

0:17:31 > 0:17:33Because it just had a look about it.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36I thought, well, knowing Glasgow and knowing...

0:17:36 > 0:17:39Have a look. It is a barometer, of course.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41It is. I know this because we looked at it.

0:17:41 > 0:17:43- Did you reject it earlier then?- Yes.

0:17:43 > 0:17:45He went back and bought a reject?

0:17:45 > 0:17:47They thought it was too expensive.

0:17:47 > 0:17:51Well, you would, spending £95, wouldn't you?

0:17:51 > 0:17:53Yeah, but look at the sinuous lines. It's so Art Nouveau

0:17:53 > 0:17:56and it reflects almost the birth of the great arts

0:17:56 > 0:17:58in Glasgow in the last century.

0:17:58 > 0:18:04It ought to make maybe £100 to £150, because it cost me 70.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06- Oh, well done.- You are sure?

0:18:06 > 0:18:09These girls have bucked up now when you said 70.

0:18:09 > 0:18:14They were seriously depressed when they thought it was going to be 210.

0:18:14 > 0:18:17Charles, you are a tease, I have to tell you that.

0:18:17 > 0:18:19Yeah, and we'll see if it teases some hard cash

0:18:19 > 0:18:21at the auction later on.

0:18:21 > 0:18:22In the meanwhile, though,

0:18:22 > 0:18:25let's remind ourselves of the Blues' three items.

0:18:26 > 0:18:28The boys in blue, with their tartan trews,

0:18:28 > 0:18:33snapped up the Art Deco RAF photo frame for £32.

0:18:33 > 0:18:36They got a cracking discount on the WMF vase,

0:18:36 > 0:18:41down from £125 to a much more presentable 40.

0:18:41 > 0:18:47Ditto their final item, a pair of Orrefors engraved decanters.

0:18:47 > 0:18:50Seb and Tom, this is your exciting moment, the leftover lolly.

0:18:50 > 0:18:55You spent 152, you gave the Laidlaw £148. What did you buy?

0:18:55 > 0:18:56Brace yourselves!

0:18:56 > 0:18:58Oh! And where are the rest?

0:18:58 > 0:19:00Spoons!

0:19:00 > 0:19:03- How uninspiring!- No, I love a spoon.

0:19:03 > 0:19:06Absolutely uninspiring!

0:19:06 > 0:19:10Two pretty dull, fiddle-pattern silver teaspoons.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13Worth what, £10 each on a good day?

0:19:14 > 0:19:16I paid £70 for those,

0:19:16 > 0:19:20but these are Scottish provincial silver.

0:19:20 > 0:19:24I've seen dealers asking £100 a pop for such spoons.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27An international market.

0:19:27 > 0:19:32- That's why I'm presenting them to you now.- Mini bargain.- I hope so.

0:19:32 > 0:19:35- And what sort of profit do you think we can make?- If I'm lucky,

0:19:35 > 0:19:37I can see them doing £100-£110.

0:19:37 > 0:19:41Mr Laidlaw is confident, but we'll see about the boys later.

0:19:41 > 0:19:44Now, though, we're ready to start selling.

0:19:44 > 0:19:46Anita Manning, take it away, girl.

0:19:49 > 0:19:53- So, you nervous at all, Jenny?- No, excited.- You're not?- Very excited.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55How excited on your excited scale?

0:19:55 > 0:19:59- 15!- Are you?- Yes.- That's off the top, isn't it?- Absolutely.

0:19:59 > 0:20:02First up, then, is your Garrard mint box and here it comes.

0:20:02 > 0:20:05Lot 51, ladies and gentlemen,

0:21:28 > 0:21:31- That's plus £40.- Excellent.

0:21:31 > 0:21:34- That means you are plus £75. - Unbelievable.

0:21:34 > 0:21:38- Hang on a minute, this could all go very badly wrong.- Well, it could.

0:22:24 > 0:22:26- but overall you are plus £70.- Yes!

0:22:27 > 0:22:30- This is serious excitement here. - Oh, yes.

0:22:30 > 0:22:31Girls, what are you going

0:22:31 > 0:22:35to do about the barometer then? You can bank £70

0:22:35 > 0:22:38- which could be a winning score. - Let's bank.- Let's go for it.

0:22:38 > 0:22:41- Quickly, what are you going to do? - Go for it.- Fine, go for it.

0:22:41 > 0:22:43You're going to do it.

0:22:43 > 0:22:46- We'll go for it.- OK. Phew!

0:23:50 > 0:23:52There there's no point in spoiling their day. All right?

0:23:57 > 0:24:01So, boys, are we wearing our tartan trews for good luck?

0:24:01 > 0:24:04- Is that what it is? - Certainly is, yes.

0:24:04 > 0:24:07- How do you rate your chances today? - Pretty good.- Do you?

0:24:07 > 0:24:11- You reckon you're on for this? - Definitely.- To lash those girls?

0:24:11 > 0:24:12I think it'll be easy.

0:24:46 > 0:24:48Well done, boys. £55.

0:24:48 > 0:24:51There's nothing the matter with that. That's £23 profit.

0:24:51 > 0:24:55We like it, it's a profit. Good. Now, the baluster vase.

0:24:55 > 0:25:00One of my own personal favourites is this unusual WMF vase,

0:25:00 > 0:25:03with these abstract circles.

0:25:19 > 0:25:2150.

0:25:21 > 0:25:25- It's with the lady at £50. - It's cheap enough.

0:25:35 > 0:25:38that's not expensive but it's a profit, thank you very much.

0:25:38 > 0:25:40Come on Anita, you've got to go for the decanters.

0:25:40 > 0:25:42These will make money, I tell you.

0:26:32 > 0:26:35Any advance on £210...

0:26:35 > 0:26:38This is getting ridiculous.

0:26:38 > 0:26:40220, back in.

0:26:40 > 0:26:45230, 230, determined at £230.

0:26:45 > 0:26:47Any advance on 230?

0:26:47 > 0:26:50All done at 230?

0:26:50 > 0:26:52Yes!

0:26:52 > 0:26:53APPLAUSE

0:26:53 > 0:26:56- I think a round of applause for that.- Well done.

0:26:56 > 0:27:00£230, that's £150 profit.

0:27:00 > 0:27:03- That's not bad. - What do you mean, "not bad?"

0:27:03 > 0:27:06You're so cocky, Tom.

0:27:06 > 0:27:09Anyway, 150, 73, that's £183

0:27:09 > 0:27:12you've got in the bank.

0:27:12 > 0:27:13What are you going to do?

0:27:13 > 0:27:18Are you going to risk 70 of your pounds on the fiddle-pattern spoons

0:27:18 > 0:27:20or are you going to park them?

0:27:20 > 0:27:24- We'll go for it.- Really going to go for it, are you?- Why not?

0:27:24 > 0:27:27- I love a gamble. - Oh, you love a gamble!

0:27:27 > 0:27:30We're going with the bonus buy, and here come the spoons.

0:27:30 > 0:27:35Two early 19th century provincial silver fiddle pattern teaspoons.

0:27:35 > 0:27:37Start me at £40.

0:27:37 > 0:27:40£40, for the provincial silver. 40 with the lady.

0:27:40 > 0:27:4240 with the lady.

0:27:42 > 0:27:44Any advance on £40?

0:27:44 > 0:27:4745,

0:27:47 > 0:27:4950, 55?

0:27:50 > 0:27:54£55, with you, sir, at 55.

0:27:54 > 0:27:58All done at 55? 55...

0:27:58 > 0:28:01No, 55.

0:28:01 > 0:28:05Minus £15, what a shame.

0:28:05 > 0:28:07168 is your profit.

0:28:07 > 0:28:11168 you're wandering home with, that's all right, isn't it?

0:28:11 > 0:28:13- Very happy.- Very, very good.

0:28:13 > 0:28:18Who's complaining, taking home 168 smackers?

0:28:18 > 0:28:21Listen, don't tell the Reds a thing. All right?

0:28:21 > 0:28:24Wow, remarkable profits on today's show, eh?

0:28:24 > 0:28:28Even the Reds' amazing £100 profit wasn't enough to beat

0:28:28 > 0:28:32the Blues' whopping £168 profit.

0:28:32 > 0:28:33Brilliant work all round.

0:28:34 > 0:28:37Coming up, will our next two teams of Reds and Blues

0:28:37 > 0:28:39find items just as profitable?

0:28:39 > 0:28:41We'll see.

0:28:41 > 0:28:44Meanwhile, we're heading off to Pollok House. Ever heard of it?

0:28:44 > 0:28:47Well, you're going to find out all about it any minute now.

0:28:51 > 0:28:53Just outside Glasgow,

0:28:53 > 0:28:56Pollok House was built in the 18th century

0:28:56 > 0:28:57by the Maxwell family.

0:28:57 > 0:29:01Used as a military hospital in World War I,

0:29:01 > 0:29:04it opened as a museum in 1967.

0:29:04 > 0:29:08It contains many displays of fine furniture and family heirlooms,

0:29:08 > 0:29:13including the Stirling Maxwell collection of European paintings.

0:29:13 > 0:29:16But it is an entirely different collection

0:29:16 > 0:29:19that has brought me here today.

0:29:19 > 0:29:24This room was originally designed as a billiard room,

0:29:24 > 0:29:26and today it's a dining room.

0:29:26 > 0:29:31And it's an activity connected with dining, actually drinking,

0:29:31 > 0:29:35that draws me to this collection of silverware.

0:29:35 > 0:29:38Now, the earliest piece out of this group is what is called

0:29:38 > 0:29:41a nautilus shell, which is this fellow here,

0:29:41 > 0:29:46that was so prized in 1615, when this thing was created,

0:29:46 > 0:29:50the silversmith in Nuremburg plastered it in silver gilt,

0:29:50 > 0:29:55hence the exotic wave form of the cover.

0:29:55 > 0:29:57If you look carefully around the whole thing,

0:29:57 > 0:29:59it is encrusted with elements

0:29:59 > 0:30:03that relate to the mystery of the distant oceans.

0:30:03 > 0:30:05The other intriguing piece is this fellow,

0:30:05 > 0:30:11which is thought to be an ostrich egg form coffee pot.

0:30:12 > 0:30:17The coffee dregs would accumulate in the bottom of this egg shape,

0:30:17 > 0:30:22allowing you to draw off the amber nectar above.

0:30:22 > 0:30:27But the most extraordinary drinking object is this fellow.

0:30:27 > 0:30:29It's called a wager cup.

0:30:29 > 0:30:30In the pub,

0:30:30 > 0:30:34you'd wager your best mate that he couldn't drink

0:30:34 > 0:30:38both vessels without spilling a drop.

0:30:38 > 0:30:43You could very easily glug, glug, glug that. No problem at all.

0:30:43 > 0:30:47But the trick is to drink what is in this hinged vase.

0:30:47 > 0:30:49Oops. Oh!

0:30:49 > 0:30:51I might get away with it.

0:30:51 > 0:30:55On the other hand, if you have had a drop or two, I promise you,

0:30:55 > 0:30:57the whole thing is down your shirt.

0:30:57 > 0:31:00You'd lose your wager and all your friends in the pub would think

0:31:00 > 0:31:02that's very, very amusing.

0:31:02 > 0:31:04Fun, isn't it?

0:31:04 > 0:31:08Back at the Edinburgh Antiques and Collectors' Fair,

0:31:08 > 0:31:10we have another set of teams raring to go.

0:31:12 > 0:31:16Today for the Reds, we've got Allen and Lori.

0:31:16 > 0:31:19And for the Blues, we've got Jackie and Abby. Welcome.

0:31:19 > 0:31:21- Hi, how are you? - Lovely to see you.

0:31:21 > 0:31:24Now, Lori, how did you become friends?

0:31:24 > 0:31:27We met in school, from early on, on the football pitch,

0:31:27 > 0:31:30having fun together and just having a good laugh.

0:31:30 > 0:31:32Good. And what did you study at the University?

0:31:32 > 0:31:35- I'm still there.- I'm doing English Literature and History of Art.

0:31:35 > 0:31:37- Is this at Edinburgh University? - Yeah, at Edinburgh.

0:31:37 > 0:31:39- Having a good time.- I bet you are.

0:31:39 > 0:31:42- So, Allen, you are at a different university, is that right?- Yeah,

0:31:42 > 0:31:44West of Scotland, Hamilton and Paisley.

0:31:44 > 0:31:46It says here, you're keen on football.

0:31:46 > 0:31:49Yeah, pretty much. But I'm a utility man.

0:31:49 > 0:31:50Yeah, utility.

0:31:50 > 0:31:53- What you call handy.- Yeah, handyman.

0:31:53 > 0:31:56So, do either of you know anything about antiques?

0:31:56 > 0:31:59I know a wee bit. My gran has kind of drummed it into me.

0:31:59 > 0:32:02My dad is a jeweller, as well. He owned his own shop in Glasgow.

0:32:02 > 0:32:05So, from then on, I was playing about with silver and diamonds...

0:32:05 > 0:32:07Losing them. I don't think he knows yet.

0:32:07 > 0:32:10- I am very impressed by this. So, you looking forward to it anyway?- Yeah.

0:32:10 > 0:32:13- It's lovely to have you on the show and very good luck.- Thanks.

0:32:13 > 0:32:16Now, turning to the girls. Jackie, how did you two meet?

0:32:16 > 0:32:19We worked together in Spain in a restaurant,

0:32:19 > 0:32:21about six years ago.

0:32:21 > 0:32:23You've been doing a certain amount of travelling.

0:32:23 > 0:32:25Yeah, we like to sail quite a lot.

0:32:25 > 0:32:28And we did some backpacking for about a year around South America

0:32:28 > 0:32:30and then went sailing for ten months in Mexico.

0:32:30 > 0:32:33It was good, good fun. A lot of experiences.

0:32:33 > 0:32:35- The odd earthquake and hurricane. - Really?- Yeah.

0:32:35 > 0:32:38- What do you do now? - I work in a retail environment.

0:32:38 > 0:32:40Right, in a shop that you can't mention.

0:32:40 > 0:32:43Yes, but they do a wonderful dine-in for two.

0:32:43 > 0:32:44HE LAUGHS

0:32:44 > 0:32:46Well, then. So, Abby, what do you do for living?

0:32:46 > 0:32:50I work in a high-street bakers.

0:32:50 > 0:32:52- Do you?- Yes.

0:32:52 > 0:32:55- That also can't be mentioned. - That can't be mentioned.

0:32:55 > 0:32:56I've only worked there for three weeks now.

0:32:56 > 0:33:01- Yeah. And it says here that you can speak fluently backwards.- Yes.

0:33:01 > 0:33:03It sounds like Klingon. It's nonsense.

0:33:03 > 0:33:06Can you give us "let's go Bargain Hunting" backwards? I can. It's...

0:33:06 > 0:33:08Stel og niagrab gnitnuh.

0:33:08 > 0:33:11THEY LAUGH

0:33:11 > 0:33:14I love it, don't you? Stel nob... I can't do it.

0:33:14 > 0:33:18- No, no.- Anyway, well done. - If you write it down, it's right.

0:33:18 > 0:33:21I believe you. Now the money moment. £300 apiece.

0:33:21 > 0:33:24There goes. £300. You know the rules. Your experts await,

0:33:24 > 0:33:27and off you go! Very, very, very good luck.

0:33:27 > 0:33:30I can hardly say "let's go Bargain Hunting" frontwards,

0:33:30 > 0:33:31leave alone backwards.

0:33:35 > 0:33:40- You guys are sailors. Bargains ahoy? - Well, hopefully. Hopefully.

0:33:40 > 0:33:42THEY LAUGH

0:33:42 > 0:33:45- OK, guys, feeling keen? - Yeah, getting into it.

0:33:45 > 0:33:46Feeling mean, Lori?

0:33:46 > 0:33:48- Let's go.- Let's have a wee look.

0:33:48 > 0:33:49- Follow me.- Yeah!

0:33:49 > 0:33:51So, it's all hands on deck,

0:33:51 > 0:33:54but will it be our footballers who set the pace?

0:34:03 > 0:34:05- Are you looking at that?- Yeah.

0:34:05 > 0:34:06A letter knife. It's rather nice, isn't it?

0:34:06 > 0:34:08A Japanese-Chinese thing, is it?

0:34:08 > 0:34:11You know, everyone's speculating on anything Oriental at the moment.

0:34:11 > 0:34:15There you go. You see the visage? It's a dragon or a lion. A lion.

0:34:15 > 0:34:20- Yeah.- It's rather nice. I mean, it's a sweet thing, but what is it worth?

0:34:20 > 0:34:2320 to 30 quid. It could be a wee gift.

0:34:23 > 0:34:27- What's it selling for today?- 15.- 13.

0:34:27 > 0:34:2913 and I will give you a wee kiss on the cheek.

0:34:29 > 0:34:33- That is an unlucky number.- And a kiss on the cheek.- 14 and a kiss.

0:34:33 > 0:34:37- £13.50 and a kiss.- OK.

0:34:37 > 0:34:40- Mwah. There you go, done. - Whatever it takes, loving your work.

0:34:40 > 0:34:42I admire your persistence.

0:34:42 > 0:34:46Good work, Jackie. That's the first haul for the Blues.

0:34:49 > 0:34:52Now it is Lori's turn to show us his skills.

0:34:52 > 0:34:55So, Lori, come over here and tell us about it.

0:34:55 > 0:34:59- It's a silver teapot. - Is it silver, though?- Uh, yes.

0:34:59 > 0:35:02- What do you look for?- Hallmarks at the bottom.- Absolutely.

0:35:02 > 0:35:04- Do you have an eye glass? Can I use it?- Yeah, yeah.

0:35:04 > 0:35:08What are the telltale signs of a hallmark? What do you need?

0:35:08 > 0:35:10Well, you've usually got one that is a design

0:35:10 > 0:35:12and it'll give you the date of it, as well.

0:35:12 > 0:35:16- Yeah.- And it also tells you where it is made.

0:35:16 > 0:35:20- Has it got EPBM or EPM on the base there?- It that a G? A G...

0:35:20 > 0:35:26Put it this way, if it were silver, it'd be about £300,

0:35:26 > 0:35:27how much is it?

0:35:27 > 0:35:32- £300.- Is it really? - Oh, it's £30.

0:35:32 > 0:35:34- So it must be...- Silver-plated.

0:35:34 > 0:35:37- Sorry?- Is it plated?- Yes.

0:35:37 > 0:35:40- Big Al, comments? - I'm going to say no.

0:35:40 > 0:35:45- Why not? Look at me, why not? - Electromagnetic, that's why.

0:35:48 > 0:35:51Well, it caught him out. It magnetised him.

0:35:51 > 0:35:54- Put it back. Thank you. - Thanks very much.

0:35:54 > 0:35:57I think that is what you call a own goal.

0:35:57 > 0:35:59May I just have a quick look at one of these watches here?

0:35:59 > 0:36:04- Yeah, which one?- This one here. That makes it very elegant.- Nice.

0:36:04 > 0:36:08It is a mid-20th-century shape that the military sometimes used.

0:36:08 > 0:36:11There's nothing much the matter with that.

0:36:11 > 0:36:13- Is your Omega expensive? - It's £80.

0:36:13 > 0:36:17Maybe a wee bit too much. What about your Jaeger?

0:36:17 > 0:36:18Jaeger-LeCoultre.

0:36:18 > 0:36:22- It's...- Now. It is.

0:36:22 > 0:36:26- Price?- Price?

0:36:26 > 0:36:31- 120.- He's still got another cheek to kiss.

0:36:31 > 0:36:34So, we've picked up on this, Jaeger-LeCoultre,

0:36:34 > 0:36:37up there with any horological name you can mention.

0:36:37 > 0:36:40This particular one was bought by

0:36:40 > 0:36:43the British military during the Second World War.

0:36:43 > 0:36:46But it's too expensive. I need that for a double-digit sum.

0:36:46 > 0:36:48My very bottom on that is 90.

0:36:48 > 0:36:5150.

0:36:51 > 0:36:54- 50 and a kiss on the other cheek. - I have to make something on it.

0:36:54 > 0:36:5750 and a Frenchy, not from me.

0:36:59 > 0:37:02Gosh, this is getting a bit fruity.

0:37:02 > 0:37:04Not on my watch, eh, Paul!

0:37:04 > 0:37:07What did you say was on the Omega?

0:37:07 > 0:37:09I said 80.

0:37:09 > 0:37:12- What's on the two?- 150.

0:37:12 > 0:37:15- Where do we get from 100?- 140.

0:37:15 > 0:37:19- 130, are we offering 130? - All right, just to get rid of you.

0:37:19 > 0:37:21THEY LAUGH

0:37:21 > 0:37:24- That's the spirit! - I appreciate that.

0:37:24 > 0:37:27- Girls...? - Can I get that kiss, dear?- OK.

0:37:27 > 0:37:29There you go!

0:37:29 > 0:37:34It's two-nil to the Blues. The trailing Reds have yet to score.

0:37:34 > 0:37:36I'm actually very nervous.

0:37:36 > 0:37:38We've had half an hour so far, and I don't quite know where

0:37:38 > 0:37:41the other half hour is going to go. I have no idea.

0:37:41 > 0:37:43I think Charles might be getting a bit anxious.

0:37:43 > 0:37:45Yeah, I know, I think is worrying a tad, as well.

0:37:45 > 0:37:48We are not shopping properly. Come on, Charles, get to grips,

0:37:48 > 0:37:49let's find these bargains.

0:37:49 > 0:37:51Let's go buy!

0:37:51 > 0:37:54So, will the half-time pep talk rally the team?

0:37:59 > 0:38:01- What is that there? - It's a rifle bullet.- Yeah.

0:38:01 > 0:38:04That's what it started life as. Do you want to know what it really is?

0:38:04 > 0:38:07- A pen.- You're good!

0:38:07 > 0:38:09You're good, but it's a very special pen.

0:38:09 > 0:38:12It's not actually a pen, it's a pencil.

0:38:12 > 0:38:18In 1914, Princess Mary gifted the troops

0:38:18 > 0:38:20at Christmas and New Year a present,

0:38:20 > 0:38:23and it was what's called the bullet pencil.

0:38:23 > 0:38:25- That's one of them. - Are these quite rare now?

0:38:25 > 0:38:28- They're... They're scarce.- Right.

0:38:28 > 0:38:32They make about £30 at auction.

0:38:32 > 0:38:35- We could always come back on it. - Could you hold on to that for us?

0:38:35 > 0:38:38- Give us an option on it?- Absolutely. The price goes up, but never mind.

0:38:38 > 0:38:43Storage fee. Thanks very much. Thank you.

0:38:43 > 0:38:45Always good to have an item in reserve.

0:38:50 > 0:38:53Are the boys going for a bit of tick-tock, too?

0:38:53 > 0:38:56This little pocket watch down here, tell me about it.

0:38:56 > 0:39:00- It's a chronograph watch, it's brass-plated.- How much?

0:39:00 > 0:39:03I've got 55 on it.

0:39:03 > 0:39:07- Did Big Al spot this?- Yeah. - Al, tell me about it.

0:39:07 > 0:39:09What's the origin on it? Is it Swiss?

0:39:09 > 0:39:11It's Swiss-made.

0:39:11 > 0:39:161910? Yes, and circa 1910, 1900.

0:39:16 > 0:39:18- That sounds good. - Yeah, it's quite nice.

0:39:18 > 0:39:21- Is it in working order?- Yes.

0:39:21 > 0:39:23It's a small, gilt brass chronograph.

0:39:23 > 0:39:25£55 isn't expensive, really.

0:39:25 > 0:39:28Could we haggle on the price, as well? Would that be possible?

0:39:28 > 0:39:3045. I'll give you a chance at 45.

0:39:30 > 0:39:32It's nice.

0:39:32 > 0:39:34If we could acquire it for a bit less, I think it is worthy.

0:39:34 > 0:39:40- Could we get...? 35? - I'll meet you halfway at 40.

0:39:40 > 0:39:42I'll meet you halfway again, 38?

0:39:42 > 0:39:4437?

0:39:44 > 0:39:48Can I get beans with toast every night? 38, OK, 38.

0:39:48 > 0:39:51I think, guys, let's get the show on the road. Do you agree?

0:39:51 > 0:39:56- Yeah!- Let's do it. Yes? - 38.- We'll take it.

0:39:56 > 0:39:57- Thanks ever so much.- No problem.

0:39:57 > 0:40:00Back of the net! And about time.

0:40:04 > 0:40:08Now, with ten minutes left, what has Paul found for his cabin crew?

0:40:08 > 0:40:11Is your telescope an expensive one?

0:40:11 > 0:40:14- I can go for 30.- 30.- £30.

0:40:14 > 0:40:15I'm just going to...

0:40:15 > 0:40:17I know I'm looking down there the wrong way here,

0:40:17 > 0:40:19but this is the easiest way to test the optics.

0:40:19 > 0:40:23- All right.- You've got at least dirty lenses there.

0:40:23 > 0:40:28Everything becomes apparent when you look the wrong way down a telescope.

0:40:29 > 0:40:34But, importantly, the optics are complete and they focus.

0:40:34 > 0:40:38- Right.- We are missing a baffle.

0:40:38 > 0:40:41- Right.- A sleeve here that would draw forward

0:40:41 > 0:40:44to shade this objective lens.

0:40:44 > 0:40:46But the leather is intact.

0:40:46 > 0:40:49It is a splendid marine -

0:40:49 > 0:40:52marine, nautical -

0:40:52 > 0:40:54single-draw telescope.

0:40:54 > 0:40:57I mean, it's got to be worth 40 to 60 any day of the week.

0:40:57 > 0:41:00- Yes.- It's got legs.- Hiya.

0:41:00 > 0:41:03- You said £30 was your price for this?- Yes.

0:41:03 > 0:41:05- Is that the best price you can do for it?- That's the best.

0:41:05 > 0:41:07- Cos it is missing a big piece of it.- Yeah.

0:41:07 > 0:41:09The cover for the top, you know, for shading it.

0:41:09 > 0:41:12- It depends how much you expect for it.- I was looking at

0:41:12 > 0:41:13round about ten for this.

0:41:13 > 0:41:15This girl's got gumption.

0:41:15 > 0:41:17You know, a cover, for looking through, for the sun.

0:41:17 > 0:41:19If you can go to an auction and buy it for ten pound,

0:41:19 > 0:41:22I'll take it from you.

0:41:22 > 0:41:25- The man has got a point.- Right. Well, what do you think, Paul?

0:41:25 > 0:41:28Cos I thought... Can we get you down to 25?

0:41:28 > 0:41:29Give us a wee chance?

0:41:29 > 0:41:32My hair is grey, you've got me turning pale.

0:41:32 > 0:41:3425? Thank you.

0:41:34 > 0:41:36Five pound for the carrier bag.

0:41:36 > 0:41:39We don't need one, Paul is going to take it.

0:41:39 > 0:41:43- Well done there.- Excellent. That's our three pieces.- Smashing.

0:41:43 > 0:41:47- Happy.- I spy...top drawer.

0:41:47 > 0:41:51So, the Blues can drop anchor and relax,

0:41:51 > 0:41:55unlike the Reds, who have two to go and only six minutes left.

0:41:55 > 0:41:57We've got to dig deep, we've got to just...

0:41:57 > 0:41:59I know, we've got to get something quick.

0:41:59 > 0:42:02Spy out the bargains, don't we?

0:42:02 > 0:42:06Here's a nice stand. Look at this. Now we're talking. I'm feeling...

0:42:06 > 0:42:10- Your little mantel clock, madam? - It has some damage to the enamel.

0:42:10 > 0:42:14- Is it an early one?- Well, 1920s. It's gorgeous.- How much?

0:42:14 > 0:42:20- 135, but I would... - And between friends?- 100.

0:42:20 > 0:42:23- I love that.- That's nice. - It works perfectly.

0:42:23 > 0:42:25I love that. Look at that, guys.

0:42:25 > 0:42:28You know what? The problem is, this is champleve enamel,

0:42:28 > 0:42:31which is inset or dripped in. And its wonderful engine turning...

0:42:31 > 0:42:35has had some damage there, can you see? I love that.

0:42:35 > 0:42:37Although, as Mr Wonnacott says, and I can hear his voice now...

0:42:37 > 0:42:38Oh, yes.

0:42:38 > 0:42:42"Stay away from damaged goods, Charles, it's your downfall."

0:42:42 > 0:42:45And we must, because it's damaged.

0:42:45 > 0:42:47I'm glad you have been listening, Charles.

0:42:50 > 0:42:54Look at that. Austrian, silver and enamel, little cigarette case.

0:42:54 > 0:42:56The best price on your silver

0:42:56 > 0:42:58cigarette case would be how much, please?

0:42:58 > 0:43:02- Guys, we've got five minutes to go. - How much?- 75?

0:43:02 > 0:43:06- We've got five minutes, guys. - Would you do it for 50?

0:43:06 > 0:43:10Since red is my favourite colour, I'll do it for 55.

0:43:10 > 0:43:12Time is of the essence. How about...?

0:43:12 > 0:43:16Your best price on the blue enamel mantel clock?

0:43:16 > 0:43:20Well, I've already said £100 and it was 135.

0:43:20 > 0:43:22- Yeah, so no less than that.- 95.

0:43:22 > 0:43:23Oh, look at me.

0:43:23 > 0:43:27Look at me. Look at me. 95?

0:43:27 > 0:43:31- Look at me. Look at us. - I'll give you a really big hug.

0:43:31 > 0:43:36- 95 is good.- £95, OK. We've got 180 seconds.

0:43:36 > 0:43:40I think we ought to buy, my opinion, is the canary yellow, ground...

0:43:40 > 0:43:42May I come behind here, madam, have a look behind here?

0:43:42 > 0:43:46- Of course you can.- Thank you. Guys, I think... Thank you. Sorry.

0:43:46 > 0:43:50- I think we ought to buy that, first of all. And that's good.- Yeah.

0:43:50 > 0:43:54- What's your best price? - It was 50?- 55.

0:43:54 > 0:43:55Would you take 50 for it?

0:43:55 > 0:43:58- Would you take 50?- 54.- OK.- OK.

0:43:58 > 0:44:01- Look at this, that's gorgeous. - That's nice. Is that English?

0:44:01 > 0:44:04- We'll have it.- Yes, it is. - How much is that?- 200.

0:44:04 > 0:44:06That's a gorgeous box, guys. Best on that?

0:44:06 > 0:44:09- I would do it at 175. - Guys, I really rate this box.

0:44:09 > 0:44:15This is a George V silver and agate hard stone rectangular silver box.

0:44:15 > 0:44:17And I would guide that at auction between 150 and 200.

0:44:17 > 0:44:20So, at 175, it's got a good chance.

0:44:20 > 0:44:24- If that's 55, could we do...?- 200?

0:44:24 > 0:44:27- 200 for the both?- No.

0:44:27 > 0:44:28- Look at me.- No!

0:44:28 > 0:44:30- No!- Look at me, look at me!

0:44:30 > 0:44:34- 215?- No, 220, I'll do.- 217.

0:44:34 > 0:44:38- Yes. - Guys, these are great items.

0:44:38 > 0:44:40I kid you not. These are quality.

0:44:40 > 0:44:43- 217 then.- 217?- Deal.- Deal, deal.

0:44:43 > 0:44:46And with that frantic goalmouth scrabble,

0:44:46 > 0:44:49the boys finally have their hat trick.

0:44:49 > 0:44:52Group hug? Yeah!

0:44:52 > 0:44:54- What are we going to do now? - A milkshake, I guess?

0:44:54 > 0:44:57- Something stronger, man. - Yeah!- Milkshake?

0:44:57 > 0:45:01Ha! With the shopping all done and three items each in the bag,

0:45:01 > 0:45:04it's time to go back to the Great Western Auction Rooms in Glasgow,

0:45:04 > 0:45:07but, first, let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.

0:45:11 > 0:45:15The boys finally got their show on the road with a fob watch for £38.

0:45:15 > 0:45:18Then, after lots of umming and ahhing,

0:45:18 > 0:45:19they did a deal on two items.

0:45:19 > 0:45:23The cigarette case worked out at £52.

0:45:23 > 0:45:25And the silver snuff box, which appeared from left field

0:45:25 > 0:45:30in the last seconds, cost them £165.

0:45:30 > 0:45:33Somehow I think we achieved the great escape, the unbelievable.

0:45:33 > 0:45:35In fact, I think we'll win.

0:45:35 > 0:45:37Al and Lori, you naughty boys,

0:45:37 > 0:45:41you spent £255, which is a magnificent total,

0:45:41 > 0:45:45- giving Charles Hanson only £45 to spend.- Yes.

0:45:45 > 0:45:47- What did you spend it on? - I'll give you a clue.

0:45:47 > 0:45:49It might be a furry thing, OK?

0:45:49 > 0:45:51- An animal!- It's not alive, but you're almost there.

0:45:51 > 0:45:54- Because it's an owl.- Oh.

0:45:54 > 0:45:57- Look at that. Look at those eyes. - That's so cool!

0:45:57 > 0:45:58OK? Look at those eyes.

0:45:58 > 0:46:02He's bronzed, he's gilded, he's got some wear and tear,

0:46:02 > 0:46:05but there are a huge pool of owl collectors.

0:46:05 > 0:46:07You know, he's quite unusual with these big,

0:46:07 > 0:46:09bulbous bulb eyes.

0:46:09 > 0:46:12It's a bedside light. He must be, I suppose,

0:46:12 > 0:46:1470 or 80 years old.

0:46:14 > 0:46:17- Quite novel, isn't it? - Exactly, you hit it on the head.

0:46:17 > 0:46:20It's novel, and that is the all-important factor.

0:46:20 > 0:46:23How many people have a novel owl lying by their bedside?

0:46:23 > 0:46:26I prefer not to, I would think.

0:46:26 > 0:46:29You could start off a new fetish here.

0:46:29 > 0:46:33- What is he worth to you as young collectors?- 30 quid?

0:46:33 > 0:46:37- 35?- He cost us £25.

0:46:37 > 0:46:42I feel, with the novelty value, he might make £40, £50.

0:46:42 > 0:46:45- No guarantee, though. - No, no, naturally.

0:46:45 > 0:46:50Will those big eyes turn into big profits later on, I wonder?

0:46:50 > 0:46:53Now, then, the Blues - what did they buy?

0:46:53 > 0:46:54The Blues opened their shop

0:46:54 > 0:46:55with a letter knife,

0:46:55 > 0:46:58which cost them £13.50 and a kiss on the cheek.

0:46:59 > 0:47:02The same lucky store holder got another kiss

0:47:02 > 0:47:06and £135 for the military pocket watch and gent's wristwatch.

0:47:07 > 0:47:11Omega, Jaeger, military timepieces -

0:47:11 > 0:47:13no-brainer, big bucks.

0:47:13 > 0:47:16And finally, they're hoping for a safe harbour at auction

0:47:16 > 0:47:20with a marine brass telescope for £25.

0:47:20 > 0:47:22The other team are going to have to do something to beat us

0:47:22 > 0:47:23with this one.

0:47:25 > 0:47:28Very good, girls. Now, you spent £168.50.

0:47:28 > 0:47:32We had 131.50 to give to Paul Laidlaw.

0:47:32 > 0:47:36With all that money, Paul, what did you decide to go and buy?

0:47:36 > 0:47:39I don't know whether you've ever seen one of these before.

0:47:39 > 0:47:42THEY LAUGH

0:47:42 > 0:47:43We have.

0:47:43 > 0:47:46- I had to go back and buy it. - I love it.- Smashing.

0:47:46 > 0:47:49- You did, didn't you?- Yeah. We absolutely loved it.

0:47:49 > 0:47:53It works for me all day long.

0:47:53 > 0:47:56And I'm pretty sure you're going to do well with that.

0:47:56 > 0:47:59I couldn't get the price down more, we know it was ticketed at 12.

0:47:59 > 0:48:02- I think that will do well anyway. - Smart money, know what that is,

0:48:02 > 0:48:04you're going to do well.

0:48:04 > 0:48:07- Yay!- Can we just buy it?

0:48:07 > 0:48:09Good. Well, there we are.

0:48:09 > 0:48:10It gives you the choice

0:48:10 > 0:48:13to decide whether you go with Paul's bullet or not.

0:48:13 > 0:48:16No time to think too long, though, as we're going to the sale now

0:48:16 > 0:48:19to see Anita Manning, the auctioneer, in action.

0:48:19 > 0:48:22£50? £50...

0:48:22 > 0:48:25- Now, Allen and Lori, how are you feeling?- Nervous.- Are you?- Yeah.

0:48:25 > 0:48:27- I'm shaking.- Anticipation.

0:48:27 > 0:48:30I don't know how many adjectives I can come up with.

0:48:30 > 0:48:32First up is your open-faced chronograph,

0:48:32 > 0:48:34and here it comes, chaps.

0:51:38 > 0:51:42It's a nice way to think of it.

0:51:42 > 0:51:46Now, what about this bedside lamp? Are you going for the owl?

0:51:46 > 0:51:49- We trust you.- We've got a profit, we're going to go for it.- Are you?

0:51:49 > 0:51:52- Yeah.- We're only here once. - You live once, don't you, Charles?

0:51:52 > 0:51:54- Live the dream, OK? - I believe in the owl.

0:51:54 > 0:51:57OK, fine. They're going with the wise old owl.

0:51:57 > 0:51:59- Here it comes. Here comes the owl.- Come on!

0:51:59 > 0:52:00And, ladies and gentlemen,

0:52:00 > 0:52:04- I'm holding bids on the book.- Yes!
