0:00:04 > 0:00:07Today, we're at the South of England Showground,
0:00:07 > 0:00:12which attracts 200,000 people per annum at its various events.
0:00:12 > 0:00:16But today, we're here for the antiques and collectables fair.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20So...let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:46 > 0:00:48This showground is also host
0:00:48 > 0:00:54to the South of England Agricultural flagship event.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Let's hope our teams today are going to be able
0:00:57 > 0:01:01to milk a profit later over at the auction.
0:01:01 > 0:01:02Moo!
0:01:04 > 0:01:10Coming up on today's show, the Reds get up to all sorts of mischief.
0:01:10 > 0:01:11Whoo!
0:01:13 > 0:01:14HE HUMS A TUNE
0:01:16 > 0:01:20- And the Blues are quick to embrace trouble, too.- Kama Sutra?
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Have you picked up the naughty piece?
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Oh, it is the Kama Sutra. My gosh!
0:01:24 > 0:01:26- My eyes have gone a bit funny. - Ha-ha!
0:01:26 > 0:01:30But will they be able to see straight down at the auction?
0:01:30 > 0:01:31Go on!
0:01:31 > 0:01:33- THEY LAUGH - Woohoo!
0:01:33 > 0:01:37'Before all that, let's meet the teams.'
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Joining us today are a quartet of colourful contestants.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47For the Reds, we've got Fred and Chi-Chi.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50And for the Blues, we've got Lisa and Dickie. Welcome, everybody.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52- Hello.- Hello. - How lovely to see you.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56So, Chi-Chi, did you run away as a youngster to join the circus?
0:01:56 > 0:01:57Oh, no. Fred's my dad.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00So I started performing with Fred when I was about three.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- Oh, Lord! - I know. I had a little dog costume.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05I used to chase Fred across the circus ring
0:02:05 > 0:02:07with a spider at the end of a stick
0:02:07 > 0:02:09and he would jump up onto a slack rope.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- It's all true.- Chi-Chi has been keen on performing since a tender age.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- A very tender age. - And how long have you been at it?
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Good gracious! Many, many years.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21I started when I was about 14
0:02:21 > 0:02:24and I'm now at a much more mature stage.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Tell us about your circus.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Well, Fred's Flying Circus.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33We travel all over the country and we... Ah! I should point out,
0:02:33 > 0:02:37we do have Henry, the world's only mind-reading dog.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41- Is he with you?- He's not with us today. He's practising at home.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Is he? What is his prediction as to your chances on Bargain Hunt?
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Have you asked him?
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Well, I did enquire this morning and he went, "Ruff!"
0:02:49 > 0:02:51THEY LAUGH
0:02:51 > 0:02:54- Now, tell us about your tattoos.- Ah.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Well, in fact, I started off by having all my tattoos before my dad.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- She led me astray.- People would think it was the other way around,
0:03:00 > 0:03:02that I was copying my father,
0:03:02 > 0:03:04but no, I had my first ones done when I was 18.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07It goes all across my chest.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10And then Fred liked the look of them and he got some done, too.
0:03:10 > 0:03:15- And we both have Showtime on our fingers.- Which is appropriate.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16- Indeed.- Now, you haven't told us,
0:03:16 > 0:03:20Chi-Chi, what your speciality in the circus is.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Well, my absolute passion at the moment is hula-hooping.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25I just really, really love it.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Well, funnily enough, we happen to have got a few hula hoops with us.
0:03:29 > 0:03:34- You're surely not going to give us a demo with all those?- All 30.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37What? All 30? This is ridiculous!
0:03:37 > 0:03:40- All right, let's go for all of them. - Hang on a minute.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- They're a bit heavy. - I bet they are. OK.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Whoopsie! Ooh!
0:03:46 > 0:03:48My gosh! Look at that!
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Oh, my...! Watch out, Dad! That is something else, isn't it?
0:03:52 > 0:03:56- A big round of applause. - A round of applause for that.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59That is absolutely amazing! Was that fun?
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Yeah, it's really good fun. Do you want a go?
0:04:01 > 0:04:04No, thank you. I don't think I could manage one. You are brilliant.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- Good luck in today's programme. - Thank you very much.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Now, for the Blues. Was that not the most extraordinary process?
0:04:10 > 0:04:14- That was impressive.- Very impressive.- Jolly clever, isn't it?
0:04:14 > 0:04:18So, you're what I call the rock and roll husband and wife team.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22- Are you a bit of a crazy couple? - I'd say we are. I first met Lisa...
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Well, I knew her from parties we used to go to, dance parties.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27- Oh, yes?- A bit of raving and stuff.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31One New Year's Eve, I proposed to her in the middle of the pub,
0:04:31 > 0:04:33got down on my knees.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35- It was a rock and roll wedding, wasn't it?- Yeah, it was.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- We had three bands play at our wedding.- It must've been a riot.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42So, Lisa, what do you do for your living?
0:04:42 > 0:04:44I work now as an office administrator
0:04:44 > 0:04:46for a horticultural online company.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48And you still look after the family.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Look after the family, yes. Two teenage girls at home.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54- You can't have any time for hobbies.- Love it!
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Yes. Charity shops are my main hobby. Yes, yes, I love it.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01I can't pass through a town without visiting the charity shops.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05- Do you ever find anything any good? - Oh, yes! Definitely.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08The Reds are going to be quaking when they hear this.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11But on that happy note, I'm going to give you your £300.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14There's your £300. You know the rules.
0:05:14 > 0:05:19Your experts await, and off you go! And very, very, very good luck.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Do you know something? I've always fancied a bit of a hula hoop myself.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27But it'll have to wait.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31Because here to teach the Reds a few tricks is Catherine Southon.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Oh! You big cheat!
0:05:37 > 0:05:42And happy to do a few rounds with the Blues is David Harper.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45And today there will be two battles rather than one.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47The hour starts now.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Starting the stopwatch now.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Starting the stopwatch now. Right!
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- I think we're going to walk up that way.- Which one?
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- I think straight up.- OK.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03- Excited?- Oh, very excited. - There's a real spring in your step.
0:06:03 > 0:06:04Ah, yes, indeed.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- What are we going to be looking for? - Anything.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- Anything. - Anything? Just to make money?- Yes.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- Is it all about the money?- It is all about the money.- Fantastic!
0:06:13 > 0:06:15- One hour. Come on. - Bargains, please.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- Let's go shopping.- Yes. - Yes. Let's.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- Oh!- Oh!
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Your ticker all right there, Fred?
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- What do you think? - I'll be all right in a minute.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- You hate snakes.- Do you?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38- Fred's got a fear of snakes. - It's all right, it's all right.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39Yes, lovely. Lovely.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43- This is right up your street, isn't it?- Yes, thank you very much.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- How much is on it? - Er...45.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- No!- 45?
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Would you not take 20 on it?
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- I can't, I don't think. - 20 would be lovely.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56It would. There you go.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Snake in a box, owes me 25.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01So I can make a fiver on it, 30 quid.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03We'll think on that then.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07It's certainly an item which grabs your attention.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08That's just so cute.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- It's funky, isn't it? Any mark? - I don't think so.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- So an unknown maker. - But it's so cute.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Oh, hang on, that's Carlton Ware.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Carlton Ware. So it's a little earlier than the '60s, that one.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Made in England, so that's probably more '30s.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Carlton Ware, a very well-known maker. Good quality.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32I really like that. That appeals to my '60s, '50s kitsch.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36- So you've got, what's that?- That's a pepper, I would've thought. Salt.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40- And whatever you want to put in there. That looks like an onion.- Hi.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- So the Carlton Ware set, what kind of money is that?- £35.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47- Is that the absolute best for it? - Would you take £25?
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Ooh, that would be lovely.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- I'll do £30.- Are you going to have it?- Yes. Thank you.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- Shake his hand.- How lovely. Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- Thank you very much. - Very good of you. Thank you.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Gosh, no messing about with these Blues.
0:08:03 > 0:08:04I think this is a record player.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06And I think these are the speakers.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08- Oh, wow!- Off the end, you see?
0:08:08 > 0:08:09- Ooh!- Oh, Fred's excited!
0:08:09 > 0:08:14- Is he?- I love things like this. Look at that!
0:08:14 > 0:08:16I had a similar one when I was very little.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18I would've said this was...
0:08:18 > 0:08:20It sounds like I know what I'm talking about!
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- Go on, tell me about it. - I would've said it's late '50s.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27- Yeah. It's great. I love the colour. - It's a gorgeous thing.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29- It's got a nice retro look. - Hm. Retro.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32What was your song of the time in the '50s?
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Well, I was born, actually... SHE LAUGHS
0:08:35 > 0:08:36- Thank you.- I did know that!
0:08:36 > 0:08:39I was born in '57. Moving swiftly on.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Yes. Let's talk money.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- £35. I could probably do it for... - £20?- ..£27.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48That's a funny number.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50£27 is a very strange number. £25 sort of sounds more...
0:08:50 > 0:08:54£27 is nice. I know you're going to say £25.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- Is that how it's done?- Yeah.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58How about £26?
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- I don't know, £27 sounds fine to me. - I'll take the £25.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05- I think that'll make £40. - Then let's buy it.- Let's get it.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07We would like to purchase your Radiola, sir.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Thank you very much. Manly shake. There you are, sir.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14- Said you had a bargain. - Nice doing business with you, sir.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17But will it make a profit at auction?
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Harper thinks he's found something that will.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- Do you like that?- Yes. - What's it made of?
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- Jade? Or plastic? - Is it jade? Is it jade?
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- Do you know who the figure is? - No. A goddess of something.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32She is a goddess. Well done. It's a Buddhistic goddess.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34And she is called Guanyin.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37The Buddhistic Goddess of Mercy.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39The Chinese worship her, the Japanese worship her.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42She's always popular because she's beautiful, long,
0:09:42 > 0:09:44elegant, she's the Goddess of Mercy,
0:09:44 > 0:09:47she's holding the lotus flower. She's got everything going.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49But to test what kind of stone she is,
0:09:49 > 0:09:52you need something sharp, ideally a penknife. I'll use a coin.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56If she's jade, we can take a penknife and try and cut into her
0:09:56 > 0:09:58and it wouldn't leave a scratch.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01If she's soapstone, it will scratch.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04She is scratching, so it's a softer stone.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08- How much is she?- £150.- £150.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11I am taken with her. I mean, look...Oh, gosh!
0:10:11 > 0:10:12- Does she stand out?- Look!
0:10:12 > 0:10:16- Oh, that is gorgeous!- Oh, come on! - That is gorgeous.- Oh, yes.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20She's a lot of money at £150. Can she be substantially cheaper?
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Ha-ha! Not substantially.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26- One and a quarter. - One and a quarter. 125.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30- Are we going to have her? - I think so. She is beautiful.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Which is more than I can say for Catherine's find.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38That's what jumps out at me, your little mouse.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41It's Schuco. Aw! He's quite nice, isn't he?
0:10:41 > 0:10:44How much is he, by the way? Er...
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- He's got to be cheap, hasn't he? - £28.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49- £28?- How do you come up with...?
0:10:49 > 0:10:51- Oh!- Shouldn't he have a tail?
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- Don't mice have tails?- They do.
0:10:53 > 0:10:54That's a very good point.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- Ooh!- Oh! Oh!- It does that.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59THEY LAUGH
0:10:59 > 0:11:01It's the wind.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03I've got your mouse all wet now.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- He's all right.- He's all right. - He's lasted this long.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11That's a no, then, for the wet, tail-less mouse.
0:11:14 > 0:11:19One rodent rejected, how about a dry tortoise instead?
0:11:19 > 0:11:21- BUZZING - Oh! Very nice.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23A really nice Edwardian porter's bell.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Mother of pearl. Original. Beautiful.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28How do you stop it, then?
0:11:28 > 0:11:30- Put your... - I know, I know. That's it.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33So you... Ah, I see. Yes. That's a very nice thing.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36It is. And it is what it is.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38It's Edwardian, it's a porter's bell,
0:11:38 > 0:11:39it's mother of pearl.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42There's no damage on it. And it is exactly what it is.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- Is he cheap?- I'll do £90.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47- There's definitely an owner in that. - I'm not sure.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50I'm not sure. There's something about the way he sits.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52It's a tortoise. It's got to sit like that!
0:11:52 > 0:11:55If you had a shell on your back, you'd be sitting like that!
0:11:55 > 0:11:57We had a tortoise. He went a bit mad.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59I can't stop myself!
0:11:59 > 0:12:01He's so much fun, isn't he?!
0:12:01 > 0:12:02- Ringing your bell now! - BELL RINGS
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Sounds great! I'd like him for 60, ideally.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07That's what I'd like him for.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08How long have we got left?
0:12:08 > 0:12:1015 minutes.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Can we hold him for 15 minutes? Would you mind?
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- Thank you.- Hold him in your hand, don't put him down.- OK.
0:12:17 > 0:12:18BELL RINGS
0:12:18 > 0:12:22- You enjoy him!- Fantastic. All right. - We'll be back within 15. Thanks.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Righty-o, let's trot on.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27I don't think Lisa's very keen on that tortoise!
0:12:27 > 0:12:28But time's getting on.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Oh, hang on. What's Fred found?
0:12:37 > 0:12:41- So if you just push there, and it just... Oooh!- Oooh!
0:12:41 > 0:12:42You see, I told you!
0:12:42 > 0:12:46- Oh, no, that is lovely.- Right up your street, Fred.- Gorgeous.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48The straps are all there, unbroken.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50I'll say nothing, or I'll go round buying everything!
0:12:50 > 0:12:54You saw it! And it is lovely. I'm really with you on this.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56- Do you agree with me? - Absolutely.- I think it's gorgeous.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59The only thing I'm slightly concerned about is that it's just
0:12:59 > 0:13:01a fraction too much money, that's all.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- What's on it?- £70. - That's OK, we can get it down.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08- You think we can get it down?- Yes. - If we can get it down, definitely.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12- I think it's gorgeous.- I think we should give it a bit of a try.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Hold it, love it, feel it.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17- Oooh!- Oh, 170!
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Oh, 170!
0:13:19 > 0:13:23- Well, that was a waste of time. - Oh, Fred!- Ah, Fred.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- OK. Well, that's the end of that, then.- Well, we could just ask.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- Well, YOU could! - What is your absolute...
0:13:29 > 0:13:32We actually thought it said 70, and that's why we got excited.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36- 90 is my absolute bottom. - You couldn't come to 80?
0:13:37 > 0:13:41- OK. 80.- That's it. - OK, let's go for it, then.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Let's go for it.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46- Three claps.- Three claps.- OK.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Followed by dancing round a handbag! I've seen it all now!
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- It's the Kama Sutra. - Kama Sutra!- Is it really?!
0:13:59 > 0:14:03- You picked up the naughty piece? - Oh, it is the Kama Sutra, my gosh!
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- My eyes have gone a bit funny! - SHE LAUGHS
0:14:06 > 0:14:09I take it back - I clearly haven't seen it all!
0:14:09 > 0:14:13- This is daytime viewing, by the way! - The other side's even worse!
0:14:13 > 0:14:15- Do you know what it's for? - No, I don't know.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19It's Japanese and it's made out of bone, and it's called an inro.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23And it's to hold tobacco or medicines, or snuff.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25So you've got three compartments there.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28And the Japanese don't have pockets, they just have belts.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32And you'd have a netsuke attached to the cord here, which then in turn
0:14:32 > 0:14:37would attach to your belt and your inro would hang from your kimono.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39- Oh, beautiful.- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40They're very collectable.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Is it collectable even with the naughty pictures?
0:14:42 > 0:14:46I think the naughty pictures add a little something, don't they?!
0:14:46 > 0:14:48- I was going to say, it probably... - I like that, a lot.
0:14:48 > 0:14:53- It is very rude, I've got to tell you!- It is very rude.- Very rude!
0:14:53 > 0:14:58- It is.- Is that too rude?- What kind of price is the very rude inro?!
0:14:58 > 0:15:03- £45.- 45.- But if you want it, I can give you a good price.
0:15:03 > 0:15:08- OK, what's the good price, then? - 40?- 40.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Well, I think it's absolutely wild.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14It's got some age to it. Probably 1920s.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17And probably something that was bought as a tourist piece.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20I don't actually believe it's ever been used as an inro
0:15:20 > 0:15:22for a Japanese person. I don't.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26- OK, let's get a really, really good price.- OK, 30.- 30?
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- I think you've got to have it for 30.- I think so.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32We'll have it for 30. Thank you very much indeed. Thank you.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36I wonder what the bidders will make of that?! But three down.
0:15:36 > 0:15:37Well done, Blues.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48- We've got five minutes.- Five minutes!- I think we should run.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52And with five minutes left, the Reds have made a decision.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Have you still got your snake?
0:15:54 > 0:15:57- Right, what were we saying? How much is it?- 30 quid's the best.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03- Can you go any lower at all?- No, I'd make nothing on it, otherwise.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05- Can't do 25?- That's what I paid.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08They can entertain you. They are circus entertainers.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10No pressure, Fred!
0:16:10 > 0:16:12- Erm...- Don't hurt yourself, though!
0:16:12 > 0:16:13Oh. God!
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Hang on. HE BARKS LIKE A SEAL
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- There! That's worth a fiver off! - Got to be worth a fiver!
0:16:18 > 0:16:20- Oooh!- Oooh! - Where did they come from?!
0:16:20 > 0:16:25It's all right, I've got them. THEY HUM A TUNE
0:16:26 > 0:16:28- Hup!- Hey!
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Still not enough. Still not impressed.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34He's still not impressed, I'm afraid!
0:16:34 > 0:16:36- We have about two minutes. - 30 quid it is.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Five quid is a cup of tea!
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Thank you, director's arm - two minutes left!
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- We're running out... We shall... - We're running out of time!
0:16:43 > 0:16:47- 40 quid now.- We'll buy it. Sold, sir!- It's yours.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Just like that, it's all over! And time's up, guys.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55And now it's time to sell.
0:16:55 > 0:17:00We whizzed west from Ardingly to Wisborough Green near Billingshurst
0:17:00 > 0:17:02and to Bellmans saleroom.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05But first, let's remind ourselves what the red team bought.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Fred was happy to pay £25 for this Radiola,
0:17:11 > 0:17:14which took him back to his childhood days.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Our travelling circus, rather appropriately,
0:17:18 > 0:17:21bought a travelling bag as their second purchase at £80.
0:17:21 > 0:17:28And finally, a snake in a box jumped out and bit them, for £30.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29Now, you two, I bet you're longing
0:17:29 > 0:17:32to know what Catherine bought you, aren't you?
0:17:32 > 0:17:36- Yes.- Well, you did give her £165, which is enough for any fair maid.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38- What did you come up with, baby? - Ready?- Ready.- Ooh!
0:17:38 > 0:17:40We need a drum-roll!
0:17:40 > 0:17:42OK, chaps.
0:17:42 > 0:17:49- Tsh!- Ooh!- Right.- What is it? - Gentleman's travelling scent bottle.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- Ooh!- Course it is.- I think it's nicely made, it's faceted.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54- I like the pouch. - Nice little leather case.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56So, um... THEY LAUGH
0:17:56 > 0:17:58You're not underwhelmed here, are you, Fred?
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- There's not a lot you say about that.- It's lovely.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03But I only paid a mere £33 for it.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- Oh!- Oh, OK. Wow. - That's in the bank then.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08- We'll have one of them, won't we?- Yeah.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10That looks all right. We'll have that.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- We like that a lot.- We like that? - Yeah...- We aim to please.- Don't we?
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Now listen, you guys. You may not need to go with your bonus buy
0:18:16 > 0:18:18because you may have done
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- so dazzlingly well with your first three items...- That's true.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23..you don't want to risk the vast profit you've made
0:18:23 > 0:18:27but if things don't go to plan, you have that to fall back on.
0:18:27 > 0:18:28Next, it's the Blues' turn.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32Let's have a reminder of how they spent their £300.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39This novelty cruet set caught Lisa's eye,
0:18:39 > 0:18:42but, at £30, will there be tears at the auction?
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Lisa and David were particularly keen on this carved figure
0:18:45 > 0:18:49of Guanyin, but it cost them £125.
0:18:49 > 0:18:55And they all really liked the inro decorated with couples "embracing".
0:18:57 > 0:19:00- Now, team. This is exciting, isn't it?- It is.- It is.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Because what David Harper's got there
0:19:02 > 0:19:04looks suspiciously to me like a box.
0:19:04 > 0:19:09- Ha-ha!- You gave him £115.- We did. - Yeah.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12- OK, take the rag off.- OK, here we go.- Can't wait.- There we go.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15- Do we like playing games? - We do.- I do.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- Have a grab of that one then. - Ooh, that is nice.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20- OK, flip it over.- Ooh!
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Mind your fingers so there we go. Nicely inlaid,
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- all done by hand, all cut in, bit of parquetry there.- Yeah.- Lovely.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29That's Sorrento style so Sorrento, little town in Italy,
0:19:29 > 0:19:32very famous for making boxes like this.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Whether it was made in Sorrento, I don't know,
0:19:34 > 0:19:36but it's a Sorrento-style gaming box.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Backgammon on the inside. Turn it over,
0:19:39 > 0:19:42put it flat on the table, there's your lovely chessboard.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45- The big question.- Here we go.- How much did you pay?- Damage?- 20 quid.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47- Ooh!- It should make a bit of profit.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- Fantastic for £20.- It could double its money.- Well done.- Thank you.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52I told you he was a genius.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Well, we'll see if my words ring true in a bit
0:19:55 > 0:19:57as now we're off to auction.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Take it away, JP!
0:19:59 > 0:20:03- Now, you two. You feeling confident? - Absolutely.- Are you?- Course we are.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05- You're looking very colourful. - Thank you.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08- And on-the-ball if you don't mind my saying so.- Yes.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Have you been to many of these auctions before?
0:20:10 > 0:20:13I've never been before, no. It's my first one.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15- Sheesh!- I know, very exciting. - This is something else.
0:20:15 > 0:20:21Anyway, the first item coming up right now is the record player.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25Wonderful specimen, this. And I can start at £10.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28I can start at 10, looking for 12 though.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30- 12 is bid.- Ooh, 12!- Ooh, 12, 12!
0:20:30 > 0:20:3218's bid. 20, 25?

0:20:41 > 0:20:44- One more!- And selling at £25... GAVEL BANGS
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- £25...- In the bag! - No, it wiped its face.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- No profit though.- Well, that's all right?- It's good enough.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Lot 1740A, brown leather case, circa 1940, it says,
0:20:53 > 0:20:59and with travel labels. I can start at...£15 with it.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01- Oh, come on, Jonathan!- Oh, no.
0:21:01 > 0:21:0418, 20. 22, 25?
0:21:04 > 0:21:05Beautiful thing.
0:21:05 > 0:21:1030. Against you at 30, madam. At £30, 5 anywhere else?
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- At £30 then on the book, commission bid.- Can I have a word?
0:21:13 > 0:21:15- Selling for £30... - I can't believe it.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19- GAVEL BANGS - Weird.- £30, that's minus £50.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- That is unbelievable.- Minus £50? - Anyway, now... Moving on,
0:21:22 > 0:21:27- being optimistic, we've got Old Snaky.- Yes.- Oh!- Old Snake Eyes!
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- Gets to get the snake out.- Yeah, got to get the snake out!- Get it out!
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Right, here we go. Those of you that haven't seen it yet,
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- on your marks... - He's got it the wrong way round!- Oh!
0:21:36 > 0:21:40- THEY LAUGH - Woohoo! Marvellous.- There we go.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43So for that, surely I can start...
0:21:43 > 0:21:44with interest, I can start it at £30.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46- THEY GASP - That's all right.
0:21:46 > 0:21:47That's what we paid.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Surely worth 5, you all liked it. £30, 5 anywhere?
0:21:50 > 0:21:52- 35, 40?- 30!- Shhh!
0:21:52 > 0:21:5545, and 50? Commission bid against you at 50.

0:22:01 > 0:22:04Selling. All done? It's going, £50. GAVEL BANGS
0:22:04 > 0:22:08- Ahh, yes!- Good.- Give me five, baby!
0:22:08 > 0:22:11That is plus 20 actually, not just 5.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12So overall, you're minus £30.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14So that was a bit of a result, wasn't it?
0:22:14 > 0:22:18- What will you do about the scent bottle?- We'll go for it.- Definitely?
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- Sorry, are we?- Sure?- Of course. - Definitely.

0:22:38 > 0:22:40And 30, 35.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43- 40...- Well done, Catherine. You are a star.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44At £45, anywhere else?
0:22:44 > 0:22:48Now it's £45, commission bid at 45. Surely worth another bid, at 45?
0:22:48 > 0:22:52- Definitely worth it. Oh, yes. - £45 then, last chance. Selling, 45.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54- 45! - GAVEL BANGS
0:22:54 > 0:22:59- £45.- Yes!- That's very good. Very, very good girl.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01That is plus 12 which means
0:23:01 > 0:23:03that you're only minus £18.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06- Ah.- So we didn't make any money. - Overall, minus £18 which is nothing.
0:23:08 > 0:23:09GAVEL BANGS
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- Now, Lisa and Dickie, do you know how the Reds got on?- No.- Nope.

0:23:34 > 0:23:36complete without it.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Start me at £30 for this, the Carlton Ware. Surely worth £30.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44£20 then? £20 is bid at the back of the room there.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- Fantastic.- Go on. - Surely worth 22, though.

0:24:47 > 0:24:51- Terrible.- This is a strategy that is not sound.- No.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53- I've gone off this Oriental stuff. - Yeah.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57- We've only got one more bit to go. - Anyway, overall then, lads...
0:24:57 > 0:25:00- That's awful.- You were doing so nicely, it's now minus 90.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02- That's all(!) - She's in a very bad mood.

0:25:31 > 0:25:33- No!- Come on.- No interest at £10?
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- What?- No!- 10 bid, front row. - Yes!- Yes!
0:25:36 > 0:25:38We're off now, there's £10. 12 somewhere.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40In the front at 10. Any more at £10?
0:25:40 > 0:25:43- I shall sell it at £10. - Must get more.- It's going at £10.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45- GAVEL BANGS No!- £10.- Only one.
0:25:45 > 0:25:46Oh, they're bidding AGAINST you!
0:25:46 > 0:25:49No, I'm sorry, I thought you were bidding together.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52No? Well, that's £12 then to the left. At £12.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Timothy?
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- £20, that is...- We're still bidding! - Oh!- Hammer fell.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59- Gentleman next to him, it's £12 to the left.- Oh!
0:25:59 > 0:26:03At £12, and he doesn't want to join in now at 15, do you?
0:26:03 > 0:26:06- He does!- Yes!- £15. - Yes? He's going on?
0:26:06 > 0:26:08- Any more, sir? Want to go 18? - Go on!
0:26:08 > 0:26:10No, he doesn't, shakes his head. £15, thank you.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12- That's better!- That's better than a tenner.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15What's that about then? £15. Much better.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17OK, we'll revise our necessary.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21That is minus £15. You are now, overall...
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- Minus £105.- Oh, gosh!- Oh, dear.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Which is not so bad when you say it quickly.
0:26:26 > 0:26:27THEY LAUGH
0:26:27 > 0:26:31What about Sorrento Ware? Is it a no-brainer, this, or what?
0:26:31 > 0:26:34- Are we going with the bonus buy or not?- We decided...we're going to.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36- Yeah.- Awww! You'll give me one last chance.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38- It'll make us £105, so yes. - It'll have to!
0:26:38 > 0:26:41- We're going with the bonus buy? - We are.- David's box.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44- We'll trust David completely. - Here comes David's box now.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48Here we have a Sorrento-style specimen wood games box.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51- £30, I'm bid. And 5, clears the commission straight away at 35.- Yes!
0:26:51 > 0:26:54- Excellent.- Go to £40.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57- 40 waving. And 5. 50, and 5. - Yes!- Get in!
0:26:57 > 0:27:00- This is it.- 55, still in front now at £55.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02- Come on, baby. - I shall sell then, in front at 55.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04- Come on.- Go on!- Go on. - All done at £55?
0:27:04 > 0:27:06- GAVEL BANGS - Yes!- Love it.- Well done.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08That's more like it!
0:27:08 > 0:27:10- We made some money then. - You can give him a hug too.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13- We'll just do a handshake, I think! - Yeah.- Yeah.- £35.- Well done.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17- Oh, well done, you.- That reduces the whole thing to a reasonable
0:27:17 > 0:27:18perspective of minus £70.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- Oh, haven't we done well(!) - You were down to three digits!
0:27:21 > 0:27:23- THEY LAUGH - You're back down.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27- I mean, that was a disaster, that Chinese jobbie.- I know.- It was.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29- Torpedoing you. - I was the same as you,
0:27:29 > 0:27:31I thought that would do really well.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35Unfortunately, it didn't. Both teams making a loss today.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38The Blues' minus 70 is a hefty blow.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42The Reds' minus 18, therefore, secures the winning score.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47Coming up, will our next two teams be at a loss for things to buy?
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Hardly, with so much choice on offer.
0:27:50 > 0:27:55Meanwhile we're heading off to the borders of Hampshire and Sussex
0:27:55 > 0:27:57to a gorgeous stately home.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04And the place in question is Stansted Park.
0:28:04 > 0:28:05An ancient estate,
0:28:05 > 0:28:09Stansted has had a number of distinguished owners over the years
0:28:09 > 0:28:14but in 1924, Vere Ponsonby, the 9th Earl of Bessborough,
0:28:14 > 0:28:18purchased the property to house the family's collection of furniture
0:28:18 > 0:28:20and works of art.
0:28:20 > 0:28:25Stansted today contains those collections
0:28:25 > 0:28:28and is open to the public for us all to enjoy,
0:28:28 > 0:28:31enabling us to have not only a peek at the objects
0:28:31 > 0:28:37but also a little taste of the stories they tell us.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Some of the furniture in the collection
0:28:39 > 0:28:43came as a result of inheritance and marriage.
0:28:43 > 0:28:49For example, this bargueno, a peculiarly Spanish travelling chest
0:28:49 > 0:28:53that dates way back into the Middle Ages.
0:28:53 > 0:28:58Typically, they're of box type form with carrying handles
0:28:58 > 0:29:01on the end so that you could literally pick the thing up
0:29:01 > 0:29:04with all the precious objects inside it and shove it on the back of
0:29:04 > 0:29:10a couple of donkeys and head off across the great plains of Spain.
0:29:10 > 0:29:14And once the families had become less itinerant,
0:29:14 > 0:29:18stands were made to hold them grandly.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20What I like are the loper rails.
0:29:20 > 0:29:25A loper rail is a sliver of wood that slides out to provide
0:29:25 > 0:29:28support for a falling flap.
0:29:28 > 0:29:33And these loper rails are carved with charming shells.
0:29:33 > 0:29:34You see how the thing works.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38When I open it up like this the front panel falls
0:29:38 > 0:29:40and is supported on the loper rails which
0:29:40 > 0:29:44then gives you an additional advantage of a writing surface.
0:29:46 > 0:29:51But look at the complexity of what we've uncovered inside.
0:29:51 > 0:29:55All that inlay of bone and ivory for a piece of furniture that probably
0:29:55 > 0:30:00dates to between 1500 and 1550.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Quite extraordinary.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05We're back in Sussex at the Ardingly Antiques Fair.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09There's a wealth of choice here so our next set of Bargain Hunters
0:30:09 > 0:30:13will have no trouble to find three profitable items in their hour.
0:30:13 > 0:30:14Right! Let's meet them!
0:30:16 > 0:30:19Hello! In our teams today...
0:30:19 > 0:30:22we've got Deborah and Lauren for the Reds,
0:30:22 > 0:30:24and Seb and Holly for the Blues.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Welcome everybody. Brilliant.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Now Deborah, you look more like sisters to me.
0:30:29 > 0:30:33Is this true that you can really be the mother?
0:30:33 > 0:30:35- Yes?- You saucy rascal!
0:30:35 > 0:30:36Ooh, you saucy rascal!
0:30:36 > 0:30:39- Yes.- You're very good friends, aren't you?
0:30:39 > 0:30:41We are, we go out a lot together.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44- We do lots of things together, so... - We're best friends.- Yes.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46What could be nicer?
0:30:46 > 0:30:49And what sort of things do you get up to, girls?
0:30:49 > 0:30:53- We are rather keen on greyhounds. - You go to the dogs a lot?
0:30:53 > 0:30:57We go sometimes but we're more keen on collecting them,
0:30:57 > 0:30:59having rescued greyhounds at home.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02- They are lovely things, aren't they?- They are beautiful.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05I don't know what it is about the long legs on a greyhound.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09- The grace of the beast.- They are like a woman, aren't they?
0:31:09 > 0:31:11A beautiful woman.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13You said it! Spot-on, I would say.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17So Lauren, what sort of job to do when you're not rescuing greyhounds?
0:31:17 > 0:31:22I work in a micro biology lab as a laboratory technician.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25My work involves nasty bacteria in yeast.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28Were you passionate about science when you were at school?
0:31:28 > 0:31:29Yes. I have got a science degree.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32I've always loved science,
0:31:32 > 0:31:36always loved looking down a microscope.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39What are your tactics going to be today, girls?
0:31:39 > 0:31:42We are of the same school of thought as William Morris.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46Having nothing in your house that's not...
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Beautiful...or practical.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51That is a very good motto, isn't it?
0:31:51 > 0:31:54- And it didn't do William Morris any harm.- No.
0:31:54 > 0:31:55That's going to be your plan.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58It's got to be beautiful, it's got to be practical
0:31:58 > 0:32:01- and hopefully it's got to be at the right price.- A bargain.
0:32:01 > 0:32:06I think you are going to do terribly well. Very, very good luck.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10Now, you two, tell me about your discus throwing.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13I have been doing athletics for about ten years.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17I am ranked second in great Britain, 22nd in the world.
0:32:17 > 0:32:21- That is something to shout about. - It's not bad.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24It is something I am quite proud of.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27I like train five days a week, I go to the gym four times a week.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30I do fitness training once a week
0:32:30 > 0:32:32and I also do throwing on top of that.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34We shall keep our eye open
0:32:34 > 0:32:37especially on this programme now that we've met.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40Holly, you are doing a job connected with charity?
0:32:40 > 0:32:47Since I left university in 2010, I have been working in events
0:32:47 > 0:32:50so I put on music festivals for Oxfam.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52It was a national music festival
0:32:52 > 0:32:54but I ran the Brighton leg of it in 2010.
0:32:54 > 0:32:59Since then, we have been doing one-off events to raise money.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01Do you know anything about antiques?
0:33:01 > 0:33:07Apart from me watching a lot of things like Bargain Hunt,
0:33:07 > 0:33:10I think you can learn a lot by watching them.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Of course you can, the whole nation
0:33:12 > 0:33:15knows more after watching a decade of Bargain Hunt.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18If you have been relying on our programme,
0:33:18 > 0:33:22I'd tell you, you are going to be just fine in today's competition.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26So fine that I feel I can lob out your £300 apiece.
0:33:26 > 0:33:32You know the rules, your experts await and, in a moment, we're off.
0:33:34 > 0:33:40Debs, Lauren, this is terribly exciting! All girls together.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42- Are we going to spend a lot of money?- Hopefully!
0:33:42 > 0:33:45I like Art Deco style pottery, the bright colours.
0:33:45 > 0:33:50- The big patterns.- Wonderful, love that. What about you, Holly?
0:33:50 > 0:33:52I'd like to look for some jewellery.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54- Have we got a plan?- Definitely.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57- Um...yes.- Have we? - Yes.- What's our plan?
0:33:57 > 0:33:59We have an expert and we're not afraid to use her.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01THEY LAUGH
0:34:01 > 0:34:03- So, you do have big plans. - Definitely.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05OK. Come on. One hour.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07Now, anything taking your fancy, Reds?
0:34:08 > 0:34:11- Truncheons! - Well, I wasn't expecting that.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14- Why the truncheons? - Because I've always loved them.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17Could we have a look at your...truncheons?
0:34:17 > 0:34:19THEY LAUGH
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Yes...
0:34:21 > 0:34:24- Sorry, I've got the giggles now. - I can't think why.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27Can we just have a look at these little...?
0:34:27 > 0:34:29- Batons. - Batons.
0:34:29 > 0:34:30Thank you.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35And how old are these?
0:34:35 > 0:34:361840s, 1850s.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38- And how much is this one?- £120.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40Oof!
0:34:41 > 0:34:45What would you be able to do your best on something like this?
0:34:45 > 0:34:47The absolute best would be £100.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49We'd struggle to make a profit.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52It's worth about £120, £130, but I'll sell it for £100.
0:34:52 > 0:34:56I suppose that one is quite nice with the coat of arms on, isn't it?
0:34:56 > 0:35:00- Could you just knock it under £100? - £95?- OK.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02- I'm not going to miss a fiver. - Thank you.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06That just gets it under, just to look a little bit more tempting.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08- Shall we think for five minutes? - Yes. We'll give it five minutes
0:35:08 > 0:35:11because we've only just started and, er...we'll be back.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15- I like it. - I have to vouch for your judgment.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18It's got quite a lot going for it. There's a lot of information there.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21The lovely, um,...coat of arms, which...
0:35:21 > 0:35:24I think the more information you've got, the better, really.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26I do quite like that.
0:35:26 > 0:35:30While the Reds mull it over, how are Seb and Holly getting on?
0:35:30 > 0:35:33That's quite nice, as a piece of glass.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36- OK.- I don't know how modern that is, I'm not really sure.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39Shall we have a look? What is it that you like about that?
0:35:39 > 0:35:43I just like the blue going down to the green with...
0:35:43 > 0:35:45It looks quite chunky and sort of a big bit of glass.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48- I just like the colour of it. - Have a hold of it.
0:35:48 > 0:35:49Quite eye-catching, isn't it?
0:35:49 > 0:35:52I can see people having that in their house.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55I can see it on a mantelpiece or a table.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57- Like in a modern home.- Exactly.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00- What about this? - It's lovely.- What is it?
0:36:00 > 0:36:04Sextant. So it's a nautical navigation instrument.
0:36:04 > 0:36:09In perfect condition in a box, these sell for around £300.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13- Wow! - But without a case, this would sell,
0:36:13 > 0:36:18probably, at auction, I would guess, for about £150, £100-£150.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21- How much is it?- I don't know.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23Hello. How much is your sextant?
0:36:23 > 0:36:28- Um,...it's got to be cheap at about £180, hasn't it?- Ooh!
0:36:28 > 0:36:32- That doesn't sound cheap.- Ooh!
0:36:32 > 0:36:34Time to work your magic, girls.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37- There's quite a few things that are wrong with it.- Right.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40It's obviously not in its case, it's missing an adjustment screw,
0:36:40 > 0:36:43which I don't think is a huge problem, but here,
0:36:43 > 0:36:46I'm pretty sure there would be like a pinhole sight.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49- So because of that... - You want to give me £200?
0:36:49 > 0:36:51- No!- £30.
0:36:51 > 0:36:55- Can you call the police? - No. But I can locate a truncheon.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58- Um, could you go under £100 for that?- Yes.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01Yeah. Just couldn't go that low.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03If you can do £130, we've got a deal.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06- Could we have a think about that, sir?- You can always come back.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09We can always come back. We know where you are.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Last price, £110 if you want it. But that's it.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14- Can't do any better than that. - OK. That's very kind of you.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17If you find one cheaper anywhere in the market,
0:37:17 > 0:37:19I'll refund the difference.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21- Right.- We've got that on camera, you know.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24- Thank you very much indeed. - Thank you.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28The ladies have coaxed out another offer to cogitate over.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31The Blues are still deliberating, too.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35I've got £40 on it, but I'll take £10 off.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37I'll do it for £30. That's a good price.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39I think it's certainly worth £30.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41And it should make £30.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43It's not going to set the world on fire.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46- It's a lovely colour. - It's a good colour glass.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48I love the fact that you went for that.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50- Yes.- It's all about you two. - OK. What do you think?
0:37:50 > 0:37:53It's blue and we're the Blue team, so maybe it's a sign.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56Yep, I think we'll probably...we'll go for that.
0:37:56 > 0:38:00Wonderful. We'll have that. Thank you very much indeed.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02Thank goodness! We finally have a purchase.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06So that's one down to Seb. Holly, come on!
0:38:06 > 0:38:08I know. We need to find something.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10- You've got to find it.- Yeah.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16A few stalls down, our cheeky Reds are on a charm offensive.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18Hello! It's us, lovely ladies.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21Huh-huh-huh. They're back and they mean business!
0:38:21 > 0:38:23We've come to look at the baton again.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25- That one?- Mm.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28- OK. There you go.- Thank you.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31- It's the price that's the problem. - I think the price is fine.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35- I've put it at the lower end of what it's worth.- It's up to you, ladies.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39- They have crept up in value over the last four or five years.- Yes.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41But there's a recession on.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44Not in the truncheon market.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46I've never bought one before, so...
0:38:46 > 0:38:48Several very good collectors.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51Well, how about £85? Would you be so kind...?
0:38:51 > 0:38:55No, I wouldn't take £85. I'll take £95. That is the absolute best.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58- OK. I really like it, and... - You went for it straightaway.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00- Go with your instincts. - You did.- Yes.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Go with your gut instinct.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04- Yes.- £95.- OK. Marvellous.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07- Thank you very much. - OK. Thank you. Deal done.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09Great! We have our first purchase, ladies!
0:39:09 > 0:39:11THEY CHEER
0:39:11 > 0:39:14- We've got a lot more work to do. - Definitely.- Come on.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Absolutely.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20And talking of having your work cut out,
0:39:20 > 0:39:22Holly's got a battle on to choose her item.
0:39:22 > 0:39:26Oh, look, she's looking for blingy jewellery. Straight in.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29Let's see what you're looking at.
0:39:29 > 0:39:33- It's quite pretty, isn't it? - It is just costume jewellery.- Yeah.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36Very bonny, but it doesn't really have any value.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38- No.- No, not really.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41- This one?- Yeah.- OK. Let's have a look at that.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44- Ooh, it's musical. - Oh, it's a musical box!
0:39:44 > 0:39:47- No great age to that.- No?- No.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50I wouldn't trust that to be silver.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52They're quite different, aren't they?
0:39:52 > 0:39:55- They don't do much for me. - No, I don't like them.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58An ashtray. Come on, Holly, what are we looking for here?
0:39:58 > 0:40:02Are they ganging up on you, Holls? Well, you'd better watch out, Blues,
0:40:02 > 0:40:05because half the shopping time's gone.
0:40:09 > 0:40:14Now, are the Reds still reeling in more unsuspecting stallholders?
0:40:14 > 0:40:16You've got two at the back and...
0:40:16 > 0:40:18They're not the easiest things to sell.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21- No.- Because... - Two little drawers here.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24- He's not listening to me. - No, I'm not listening to you.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28- We can think about it.- We're thinking about a few things now.
0:40:28 > 0:40:29THEY LAUGH
0:40:29 > 0:40:31We've got to make some decisions.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34If it goes to auction and it doesn't make more money,
0:40:34 > 0:40:36I'll put the rest to it.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38Sadly, we can't do that, but that's a lovely idea.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Thank you. A kind gesture.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45So, will Holly finally get to choose an item?
0:40:45 > 0:40:48- Come on, then, let's go and scout in here.- Yeah.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50Holly, what do you like?
0:40:50 > 0:40:52- There's a nice cameo in there. - Right.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54- OK, Holly.- I think it's very pretty
0:40:54 > 0:40:57and I think it would go with lots of things.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00- And it's very elegant. - Shell. Is it shell?- It's shell.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02We've got a bit of an Italian theme going here
0:41:02 > 0:41:06because Italians are world-renowned for carving these cameos.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08What's the best on that one?
0:41:08 > 0:41:11Never mind what's on it, give me the best trade price.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13- £60.- £60.
0:41:14 > 0:41:18I think that would estimate at £40-£60 in auction.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20- So his price is absolutely right. - Yeah.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22What you have to take a chance on
0:41:22 > 0:41:25is are there going to be some people there.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28- A dealer and a private buyer who fancy it.- Bid against each other.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31I think this is the kind of thing that could sell online.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34I think we should maybe have a punt at that.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36Yeah, I think it's worth going for.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39- I love the idea of you getting yourself some jewellery.- Me, too.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42- Shall we have a go?- Let's have a go. - Good. Let's have a go.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44Because time is really rolling on now.
0:41:44 > 0:41:45- OK. £60?- Deal done.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52Yes, time is rolling on. And don't our teams know it!
0:41:52 > 0:41:55I think the pressure's getting on a bit now.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57We've had 45 minutes, 15 minutes left.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00It's nerve-racking. We've got one item and not much time left.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03- We need to crack on.- It's scary!
0:42:03 > 0:42:06I think hopefully, we'll find something in the next stall or two.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10- Quickly get something, I think.- Yes. Head inside because it's freezing.
0:42:10 > 0:42:14Come on, Reds, you've got some catching up to do.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17- Do you like bronzes, Catherine?- Yes.
0:42:17 > 0:42:21There's this one, which is quite lovely, I think.
0:42:21 > 0:42:22That is quite nice.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24- That's £125. - That is lovely, isn't it?
0:42:24 > 0:42:27- Yes.- It's a lovely shape.
0:42:27 > 0:42:31- There's no maker's name or anything. - I love that.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34It's very expensive, though.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Can you do it...? You know what's coming!
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Sorry. Let me get out of your way.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44I'll do it for £100.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46That's still a lot.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48What's your kindest, kindest...?
0:42:48 > 0:42:51- My kindest would be £90.- £80?
0:42:51 > 0:42:54- No, I couldn't do £80. - How about £85?- All right, go on.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57- Yay!- Thank you. - I'll probably get done for this.
0:42:57 > 0:43:01Could we do £80? And then we're absolutely sorted on it.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04Oh, go on. Just to get rid of you!
0:43:05 > 0:43:07We have that effect!
0:43:07 > 0:43:11- Yes, I'd say definitely! - OK, girls?- Cos that makes our...
0:43:11 > 0:43:14Thank you very much. That's really kind of you.
0:43:14 > 0:43:20So both teams are two down with one to go and barely minutes left,
0:43:20 > 0:43:23while the Reds prepare for their third purchase.
0:43:23 > 0:43:26Ha-ha! What has Harper spotted?
0:43:26 > 0:43:30- What do we think about tea caddies?- I like that box.
0:43:30 > 0:43:33- That's nice. - It's rather sweet, isn't it?
0:43:33 > 0:43:38- It's lacquered, so it's wood with a lacquer finish.- Very decorative.
0:43:38 > 0:43:42- Is that gold leaf, do you think? - That's painted, isn't it? Yes.
0:43:42 > 0:43:47- OK.- I would say that is about 1840. - It's quite old then.- It's quite old.
0:43:47 > 0:43:52It's a proper antique. I think that in auction is £50 to £80.
0:43:52 > 0:43:56I'll ask what we can get it for. What could we get that for?
0:43:56 > 0:43:58- Can I have a look? - 95 on there.
0:43:58 > 0:44:02Right. Erm... Yeah, £85.
0:44:02 > 0:44:05I just feel it's a little bit... I don't know.
0:44:05 > 0:44:08Can we just keep it in reserve? Do you mind if we think about that?
0:44:08 > 0:44:09Yeah, that's all right.
0:44:09 > 0:44:12We took a risk with the cameo, so maybe...
0:44:12 > 0:44:16But a good thing, so we might dash back and bag it if we need to.
0:44:16 > 0:44:17Yeah, OK.
0:44:18 > 0:44:22A risky strategy, Blues. Five minutes left.
0:44:22 > 0:44:26- What's that?- It looks like a gavel. - It's salt and pepper.
0:44:26 > 0:44:28Oh!
0:44:28 > 0:44:32- Sweet! - Have a look. The ends unscrew.
0:44:32 > 0:44:35- It isn't silver. - No. I could tell that.
0:44:35 > 0:44:37Hence the price.
0:44:37 > 0:44:40- It's this end...- Yeah.
0:44:40 > 0:44:43- I'm terribly excited by that. - That is lovely.
0:44:43 > 0:44:48- If you don't have it, I'm going to buy that.- What can you do on that?
0:44:48 > 0:44:52I'll do it... No other haggling, girls, cos I know how it works...
0:44:52 > 0:44:55I'll do it for 58...
0:44:56 > 0:44:57..and that is the death.
0:44:57 > 0:45:01- I love it.- I do, too. - I love it as well.
0:45:01 > 0:45:05- Definitely, we'll have that. - I don't think you can resist it.
0:45:05 > 0:45:07It's a real novelty thing.
0:45:07 > 0:45:11And if it all goes wrong, you can blame me. What do you like now?
0:45:11 > 0:45:12I just saw the frog.
0:45:12 > 0:45:13Oh, hang on a minute.
0:45:13 > 0:45:17- What's that? - A cigar cutter. Little scissors.
0:45:17 > 0:45:21- You have some brilliant things! You do!- I love quirky.
0:45:21 > 0:45:24- Oh, don't we just? - Aren't they brilliant?
0:45:24 > 0:45:26And what are they made of?
0:45:26 > 0:45:28I think they're Bakelite.
0:45:28 > 0:45:31- I think they are. - How much could you do those for?
0:45:31 > 0:45:35- I'll do those for 60. And that is the death as well.- That's good.
0:45:35 > 0:45:38That's quite good. I've never seen one of those.
0:45:38 > 0:45:40I would say that's quite rare.
0:45:40 > 0:45:44- At the end of the day, it's what's going to make the most money.- Yes.
0:45:45 > 0:45:49I think the frog will, probably. That's rarer.
0:45:49 > 0:45:51Although, I love that too.
0:45:51 > 0:45:53So what's it to be, girls?
0:45:53 > 0:45:55- So we'll go with the frog. - Mr Froggy.
0:45:55 > 0:45:57Can you do 55, just to pinch?
0:45:59 > 0:46:02- On the cigar...? - On the frog there. Make us happy.
0:46:02 > 0:46:05- Delighted, in fact!- Go on. - Thanks. That's brilliant.
0:46:05 > 0:46:08- Thank you.- Thank you.- That's good.
0:46:08 > 0:46:12- That's a bit of fun.- We cut that fine.- Well done, girls. Hug!
0:46:12 > 0:46:15# Sisters are doing it for themselves. #
0:46:16 > 0:46:18Well done, Reds.
0:46:19 > 0:46:21Now, buck up, Blues.
0:46:21 > 0:46:25I think it's too chancy. I really do. Oh, my goodness me!
0:46:25 > 0:46:29- We've got 30 seconds, 29 seconds. - Let's go back to that tea caddy.
0:46:29 > 0:46:35- It's antique.- That's not going to be £20, is it? It's not! OK.
0:46:35 > 0:46:37Go for the tea caddy.
0:46:38 > 0:46:41Come on!
0:46:41 > 0:46:44Excuse me, that couldn't be 70, could it?
0:46:44 > 0:46:48- Not really. £85.- 85.
0:46:48 > 0:46:51Let's go for it. We've got 15 seconds left.
0:46:51 > 0:46:55Make the most of every second. Are you quite sure? Ten seconds.
0:46:55 > 0:46:58- Yes, let's go for it, 85. - Holly, 5 seconds?
0:46:58 > 0:47:02- We're going to have to, aren't we? - Let's go for it. We're done!
0:47:02 > 0:47:07- OK, that's it, we're done. Are you happy, Holly?- I'm happy.- Well done.
0:47:07 > 0:47:11Blimey! Talk about cutting it fine! Time's definitely up.
0:47:11 > 0:47:13And now we're ready to head off to auction
0:47:13 > 0:47:15at Bellmans saleroom in Wisborough Green.
0:47:15 > 0:47:19But first, let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought.
0:47:20 > 0:47:24Deborah was very keen on this policeman's truncheon.
0:47:24 > 0:47:27They struck a deal at £95.
0:47:27 > 0:47:31They charmed the stallholder down to £80 on the bronze pheasant.
0:47:31 > 0:47:33And in the last two minutes,
0:47:33 > 0:47:36the Bakelite froggy leapt out at them for £55.
0:47:37 > 0:47:42- Excited?- Yes. Very.- What do you suppose Catherine spent your £70 on?
0:47:42 > 0:47:46- Something beautiful.- Something beautiful! That's it!- Good answer.
0:47:46 > 0:47:49Ever the romantic. OK, show us something beautiful.
0:47:49 > 0:47:53- I'm not sure it's something beautiful.- Shall I rip that off?- Do.
0:47:53 > 0:47:59- Not beautiful at all!- Useful. - Useful, absolutely. There we go.
0:47:59 > 0:48:03Now we have got a tailor's waist measure.
0:48:03 > 0:48:08Never seen or sold one before. I thought it was an interesting thing.
0:48:08 > 0:48:13This is a parallel rule, some really nice brass hinges.
0:48:13 > 0:48:15Now, I know they're not particularly attractive
0:48:15 > 0:48:21but these sell for around 20, 30, maybe £40.
0:48:21 > 0:48:23That one never sold before but
0:48:23 > 0:48:26I think it could make around £40, something like that.
0:48:26 > 0:48:29The two, I paid £33 for.
0:48:29 > 0:48:33- Do you like them, then, Debs? - Oh, they're wonderful!
0:48:33 > 0:48:35SHE LAUGHS
0:48:35 > 0:48:37They're really nicely made.
0:48:37 > 0:48:41This is probably around 1915, that sort of date.
0:48:41 > 0:48:45- This is going to be slightly later. Are we selling this?- Yes, we are!
0:48:45 > 0:48:48- For profits, yes! - Yes, she likes the profit idea.
0:48:48 > 0:48:52We'll find out how they measure up later on.
0:48:52 > 0:48:54In the meanwhile, let's discuss the Blue team's three items.
0:48:56 > 0:49:01Seb picked up this Murano glass vase, which cost them 30 smackers.
0:49:01 > 0:49:04Holly's choice was this cameo brooch,
0:49:04 > 0:49:06but it cost them a pretty penny, at 60.
0:49:06 > 0:49:09And quite literally in the dying seconds,
0:49:09 > 0:49:13they plumped for the lacquer black tea caddy at £85.
0:49:13 > 0:49:19Now, you two, you spent a whole £175. You gave David Harper £125.
0:49:19 > 0:49:21David, what did you spend it on?
0:49:21 > 0:49:25An interesting, out-of-the-ordinary item, OK?
0:49:25 > 0:49:27Ooh. It's...
0:49:29 > 0:49:30..a stained-glass plaque.
0:49:30 > 0:49:34Yes! Exactly. That's exactly how I would describe it.
0:49:34 > 0:49:38It's leaded glass, it's 20th century
0:49:38 > 0:49:42and it's a fantastic architectural piece for a restaurant or a home.
0:49:42 > 0:49:46- Do you like it?- Yes, and I think it's very usable as well.
0:49:46 > 0:49:49People would buy it and put it in their own home.
0:49:49 > 0:49:50It could be hung a wall as well.
0:49:50 > 0:49:55I think it was a bargain. What do you think? I love testing.
0:49:55 > 0:49:56Go on, how much do you think?
0:49:56 > 0:49:58Er...
0:49:58 > 0:50:01- £40? £50?- Yeah, It should do that, all day long.
0:50:01 > 0:50:04- 20 quid.- £20?
0:50:04 > 0:50:06£20, it's absolutely for nothing.
0:50:06 > 0:50:08It's a cracker.
0:50:08 > 0:50:11It's very exciting. We're very excited to see what this does.
0:50:11 > 0:50:13- That's great, then. Happy?- Yeah.
0:50:13 > 0:50:16Good. Everyone's happy...for now.
0:50:16 > 0:50:19Let's hope that doesn't change when it comes to auction.
0:50:19 > 0:50:21Johnathan Pratt, the auctioneer,
0:50:21 > 0:50:23is ready at the rostrum, so let's start.
0:50:24 > 0:50:28- Deborah, Lauren, how are you feeling?- Very excited.
0:50:28 > 0:50:31How excited are you two on the excited scale?
0:50:31 > 0:50:33Are you up around nine, ten?
0:50:33 > 0:50:37- Ten. Ten. Yes. Hyper. - Hyper? That's lovely, isn't it?
0:50:37 > 0:50:39Very giggly, aren't we? Yes.
0:50:39 > 0:50:41- Now, you're very good friends.- Yes.
0:50:41 > 0:50:45- You're not going to fall out today?- No, not at all.
0:50:45 > 0:50:47- It'll be all her fault. - SHE LAUGHS
0:50:47 > 0:50:49Thank you, Lauren.
0:50:49 > 0:50:53Anyway, first up is the policeman's truncheon, and here it comes.
0:50:53 > 0:50:58Lot 1783A, a Bow Street policeman's truncheon. Someone start at £80.
0:50:58 > 0:51:02- 60 then?- No internet. - Oh, come on, Jonathan.
0:51:02 > 0:51:05In front at £40. 5, surely?
0:51:05 > 0:51:1145 seated. 50. 5, 60, 5, 70...
0:51:11 > 0:51:13Come on, come on.
0:51:13 > 0:51:14Come on, come on!
0:51:14 > 0:51:19The man standing at £70. 75, with Simon, then?
0:51:19 > 0:51:2180? 80 seated. 85.
0:51:21 > 0:51:22He's got the internet now.
0:51:22 > 0:51:2785, still to the left, at £85. Any more at £85? Surely another one?
0:51:27 > 0:51:29Last chance at 85.

0:57:47 > 0:57:48but bad luck about all of that
