0:00:06 > 0:00:08Today we're coming to you
0:00:08 > 0:00:11from one of the most picturesque parts of Devon.
0:00:11 > 0:00:15We're on the Exe estuary at Topsham
0:00:15 > 0:00:19and I feel bit of divine Devonian inspiration coming on.
0:00:19 > 0:00:23Let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:00:48 > 0:00:54The news is that our teams have £300 to scour the Topsham Antique Centre
0:00:54 > 0:00:58to try and find three items to sell on later at auction
0:00:58 > 0:00:59and hopefully make a profit.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03And here's a quick peek at what's coming up.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Today we're in a warren of wonders.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08- The Reds dither.- Can we think about those?- Let's have a think.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12- So we've got one on the back burner. - Come back to it. - Off we go, then.- OK.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Whilst the Blues know what they like.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- I like it a lot.- It's quite nice. - It's decorative.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19So now let's meet the teams.
0:01:19 > 0:01:24Today we have the best of friends versus father and son.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26For the Reds we've got Jackie and Jane
0:01:26 > 0:01:30and for the Blues we've got John and Philip. Welcome.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32- Lovely to see you.- Hello.- Hello.
0:01:32 > 0:01:33So how did you two girls meet, then?
0:01:33 > 0:01:37Jackie moved in opposite me when she nothing and I was two.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41- Really? A seriously long, long time ago.- A seriously long time.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43So what do you do for a living now, Jacks?
0:01:43 > 0:01:46I'm a staff nurse and I work at Rowcroft Hospice in Torquay,
0:01:46 > 0:01:48which is a great place to work, yes.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50I work with a very good team of people
0:01:50 > 0:01:52and, yeah, thoroughly enjoy it.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54It must have its stressful moments, though.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58It does but it's a worthwhile job and I enjoy it.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Jane, you're the person I need to ring if I have an emergency, right?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03- That's absolutely right. - Tell us about it.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06I'm a call-taker for the Ambulance Service.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10- And do you get asked for advice in the emergency, then?- Yeah, we do.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13We, obviously, give advice on CPR
0:02:13 > 0:02:17but also, the best thing for me is when you give advice on how to give birth.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- Has that ever happened to you? - Yeah. It's happened three times now.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24The best one was a lady on her way to hospital stopped at a pub car park
0:02:24 > 0:02:26because she couldn't go any further.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27She needed a drink?
0:02:29 > 0:02:31She certainly did afterwards.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- It says here that you're a bit of a collector, too.- I am.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37I collect old Torquay pottery, mainly because I come from Torquay.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- You might find a piece or two here in Topsham.- I might.- Yeah.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44Well, very good luck. I should think this has got the Blues quaking in their boots.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- Absolutely.- John, you're looking scared.- Absolutely.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- Philip, you run the family business. - That's right.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Along with my step-mother - the two of us run the business.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55- What is the business? - We're publishers.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59We publish magazines and books on coins, medals and military history.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01- Do you?- That's our area.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Dad was involved but he semi-retired a couple of years ago
0:03:03 > 0:03:05and now Carol and myself run it.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- You inherited your hobby from your father.- I did, yes.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11I collect military medals
0:03:11 > 0:03:13and it's one of Dad's passions for years.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Have you got any particular favourites in your collection?
0:03:16 > 0:03:20I actually collect medals to chaplains - men of the cloth, vicars, that sort of thing.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22It fascinates me that these guys can go onto the battlefield
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- without any weaponry to defend themselves.- Yes.
0:03:25 > 0:03:30And I do have one particular medal, a Zulu war medal, 1879, to a chaplain
0:03:30 > 0:03:35who actually gave the last rites to the Prince Imperial on the battlefield.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37But Dad's a Zulu war medal collector as well,
0:03:37 > 0:03:39so he's a little bit jealous, I think.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Now, John, you're no stranger to antique fairs, are you?
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Oh, no. That's one of my pastimes.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47So, what sort of things between you will you be looking out for today?
0:03:47 > 0:03:51Well, probably medals, militaria, that sort of thing.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Something local, maybe. Good quality items.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55- We won't be spending £3 or £4. - Oh, good.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57You'll be spending proper money. Folding money.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00If you can find the right things. It's jolly difficult.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04Talking of money, this it the money moment. Here's your £300, girls.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06- There's your £300 apiece. - Ooh.- Thank you.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08You know the rules. Your experts await and off you go
0:04:08 > 0:04:12and very, very, very, very good luck.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Do I feel an emergency coming on?
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Our experts today will be guiding two teams.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21For the Reds, we have a man who can spot a bargain a mile off.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23It's Philip Serrell.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27And the Blues will be guided by a man whose glass is always half full.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29It's Charles Hanson.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31- So you two are the best of mates? - Yeah, we are.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- You're not going to gang up on me, are you?- Never.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37- Is there a plan? What are we going to buy?- Anything fluffy.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- What?- She's into rabbits.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- Coins and medals is our speciality. - Much else?
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- Not personally, no.- No?- No. Anything old and cheap.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Sounds good to me.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53He's seen this show before.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- You're into knitting, are you? - I do knit.- Do you?- Yes.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00- What do knit? - Well, I make half things, really,
0:05:00 > 0:05:02because I tend to get halfway through them and give up.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08Well, if you've only got one leg you know where to go for your socks.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- But it's not necessarily practical for everybody.- No.
0:05:10 > 0:05:15In today's living, there's no way you're going to want something of this size, this age.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19- Correct.- So we need something that's small, something people can use.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- I like the bears.- I think we should look at those.- I do like them.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25- I like the one with the reel. - The cotton reel, yeah.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27I was thinking perhaps we could buy a family of bears.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31Is that supposed to be with that or have they added that?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- He's a cotton reel holder, isn't he? Do you like them?- I do.- Yeah.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36- That's half the battle, isn't it? - Yeah.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40- I just wonder how much age that's got, at the bottom.- Mm.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43- Do you reckon?- It doesn't look as good as the others.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Or is he...? He looks a bit older.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- And he's quite fun.- I like him with the reel on.- That's my favourite.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51I like that. It's fun.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- That's £45.- Yeah.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- Get it for about 30?- If we could get it for 30, that would be fantastic.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- OK, let's have a word and see if we can do that.- Lovely.
0:05:59 > 0:06:04- Purchase number one. - Well, we hope.- Hopefully. - That might be wishful thinking.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Go on, then, Goldilocks. Get haggling.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- What's the best on these, then, Albert?- £38.
0:06:09 > 0:06:1138? That's a good discount, isn't it?
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- Would 35 buy them, do you think? - I don't think so.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19- Shall we take them out...?- Yeah. - Because otherwise we'll be locking cabinets.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- I'll ask Albert to put them behind the counter for us.- Lovely.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25So we'll have a look round. That's almost... How long have we had?
0:06:25 > 0:06:29- About 15 minutes?- Yeah. - And we've almost got one already. - Our first thing.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Albert, you're a gentleman and a scholar.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Well, almost buying isn't actually buying.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35- Thank you.- Thanks, Albert.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- Are you happy with that? - I think that's a great idea.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42- So we've got one on the back burner.- We can come back to it. - Off we go, then.- OK.- OK.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Will the Blues be more decisive? They've found something "tray" bon!
0:06:48 > 0:06:52- Is that a tray?- What do you think? John, what do you think?
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- It doesn't do it for me.- John, just look at the size.- What price is it?
0:06:55 > 0:07:01Hide that price and you give me your all-encompassing opinion on that.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- What's it made of?- Mache.
0:07:03 > 0:07:04- Yes, paper mache.- Paper mache.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- Probably mid-Victorian. - Mid-Victorian, yes.
0:07:07 > 0:07:111860. I quite like it because if you look at the condition, it's in quite nice order.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13The gilding is pretty strong.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15What would it cost in an antiques centre?
0:07:15 > 0:07:19- £35.- No, no, more than that. - More than that?- Yeah.- OK.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- I know nothing about this. - John, how much?- £125.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23- How much?- 35 was my...
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Well, I think it's quite nice because we've met halfway - it's £65.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- 65.- 65. - I think that's not a bad object.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33If it was smaller and therefore practical, I would say yes,
0:07:33 > 0:07:37but I can't see that fitting in anyone's kitchen or dining room - it's just too big.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Come on, Philip. Sometimes big is beautiful.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- Mid-Victorian. £65.- I don't mind it. Maybe it's one we can come back to.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- Not a lot, is it? - We might get it for 50.- Exactly.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Food for thought, John.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- There are some coins over here, gents.- Ah!
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- There's tools. Are they any good? Old tools?- Yes.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57There's no tool like an old tool.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Do you like these or are you just grasping at any straw?
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- Any tool.- I do like old tools, I have to say. I really do.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07There's something aesthetically pleasing about them.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- You know that they've been used, don't you?- Some skilled...
0:08:11 > 0:08:14What about those? Shall we ask Albert to find out...?
0:08:14 > 0:08:16You've got 25 quid, there, look.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18- What are these? - Those are a pair of dividers.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21But they're definitely 19th century. I think they're really nice.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23- Shall we find out from Albert? - Yeah.- Yeah.- Great.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27If we can them for 15 or 20 quid, that's a bit of a shout for us.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29- I like that.- OK.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- What do you think?- No. - But I thought you loved coins?
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- Yeah, but not those prices. - No, they're all too expensive.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- John, when you purvey a good coin, what do you look for?- Oh, condition.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Condition is all important, particularly with milled coins,
0:08:44 > 0:08:46which are the later ones.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48There's a very nice sixpence there.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51It's still got the original patina on it, which is nice.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- And which one is that? - The 1787 sixpence.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- But that is really top end. I wouldn't want to pay that much.- No.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00The prices there are probably about right
0:09:00 > 0:09:02but we need to try and make a profit.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05And how has the coin market performed in the last 20 years?
0:09:05 > 0:09:09- Very good.- Has it?- I wish I'd bought these coins 20 years ago.- Really?
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Oh, it's phenomenal. Coins now are going through the roof.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14And you can make a mint.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Albert's come back. Let's see what he's got to say.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- £22 the pair. - £22 for the pair. Right.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Don't tell me you're almost buying these, too.
0:09:22 > 0:09:29- What I suggest that we do, let's ask Albert to put those with our... - Bears.- With our bears.
0:09:29 > 0:09:30- Is that all right? - Quite all right.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32You're a gentleman and a scholar.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Come on, teams! Buy something, one of you!
0:09:35 > 0:09:37- I like this. - I like the timber, actually.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39- I like it a lot.- It's quite nice. - It's decorative.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43It's practical, as well. It's the sort of thing you can use as a...
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- I don't know. - I know what you're thinking of. It's like a coin collector's chest.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- But it's the sort of thing that you can actually... It's decorative.- Yes.
0:09:50 > 0:09:55It's pretty. It's something that you can actually use and it's 135.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- Mm.- I like that. What do you think?
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Of course you've got the mother-of-pearl, the abalone, on the lacquered, hinged doors.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06- This top section might also hinge open, like that.- It does.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08And you've got the drawers within.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11It's quite a nice item.
0:10:12 > 0:10:13- Shall we take it down?- Yeah.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17- It needs slight work, I think. - There we are.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21- It's Japanese.- With the hinged handles on either side.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26- This top section opens up to reveal divisions for maybe... - Could be anything.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Could it be a specimen cabinet of some sort?
0:10:29 > 0:10:33- Well, whatever it is, it can be used for anything, can't it?- Yeah.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35And the patination is nice, the colour.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- I like the colour of it.- It must be, what, 1900, 1890, in date?- Yes.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42- And how much is it?- They're saying 135 but let's see what we can get.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44- Is it worth a question? - I think it is.- OK.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47So where's our Albert, then?
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Hello. Who's this?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52I've just had a word with the lady and she said £100 would be OK.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- Great.- Sorted. Excellent. Are we happy with that?- Yeah.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56Right, brilliant. That's great.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Hurrah! Someone's spent some cash.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Come on, Reds, your turn now.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Do you know, I'm a sucker for kids' shoes and clogs.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- Do you like those? - Oh, they're beautiful.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Aren't those fantastic, look? Look at those.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- They're all leather.- Yeah. - How old would they be?
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- 1920s. But they've never been worn, have they?- Hardly.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19Aren't they cute? I just love...
0:11:19 > 0:11:22I bet they weren't very comfortable, really.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24That's probably why they've not been worn.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26I don't know if they're your size, Phil.
0:11:26 > 0:11:27No but I just think...
0:11:27 > 0:11:32They're like the crossover between the working man's clogs and the child's shoes.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34- They were probably for Sunday best, maybe.- They're fantastic.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38- I think they're lovely. Shall we ask another question?- Yes.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42Albert! We can ask Albert.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Albert was only 23 when we started this programme
0:11:45 > 0:11:46and we've had him running around...
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Now, those are 44 quid, Albert. We'd like them for 30. How's that looking?
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Don't worry, Albert. They've got to buy something at some point.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55What a man, Albert. Get in there.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- 38 would be the best?- 38.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Out of the three things that we've put by, I would buy the tools
0:12:01 > 0:12:03because I think they're really interesting,
0:12:03 > 0:12:05- perhaps a bit more blokey.- Possibly.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- And I'd buy these.- They're not fluffy, aren't they?- No, no.
0:12:08 > 0:12:09And I'd buy these.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Don't tell me they're actually going to buy them.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16- All right?- Can we think about those? - Let's put them in our little pile.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18No, no, no, no. They're not going to buy those either.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23Do you know what, Charles, I think we need to be looking at the bottom of cabinets and at the top
0:12:23 > 0:12:27because I think we're in danger of looking at what everyone else has looked at
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- and these things have been here for a long time.- Exactly.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34- If we start looking up or down... - Exactly.- ..we may make some money.
0:12:36 > 0:12:37Let's go down below, OK?
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Hit the deck, boys.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- John, this is quite a sweet thing. - Silver photo frame.- The photo frame.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46- Can you see? What is so nice is it's a pretty lady.- Is it silver?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Yeah. Well, it says silver.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52- It's got an interesting patina on it, though - a pewter colour.- It has.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- I might enquire. Hello, sir. - And silver has gone up.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59You're all right, Albert. The Blues seem to be spending their cash at last.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02It's not awful lot of silver, though, if you look.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05- It's very, very thin. Very thin. - It is.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- It's not a solid silver frame. - But hasn't it got style?
0:13:09 > 0:13:11It has, yes, you're absolutely right.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Look down there. What are they?
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- The hallmark letters.- Exactly. - What date is that, Charles?
0:13:16 > 0:13:17It's actually not very old.
0:13:17 > 0:13:18The hallmark is for London,
0:13:18 > 0:13:24- date code probably no earlier than 1960 or 1970.- Yeah, '60s.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28I think in an auction you might guide it between £40 and £60.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Charles is sold on this. I'm not sure about Phil and John, though.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- I prefer it to the platter or the tray, though.- Do you?
0:13:35 > 0:13:36I prefer it to the tray.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40- It's priced at £45. - It's worth more.- Is it really?- Yeah.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Well, thank you.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- 39.- 39? Oh, you're teasing me now, you're teasing me.
0:13:45 > 0:13:4938.99.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51- What do you think? - I will leave it up to you
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- but I would say at £39... - It's a good buy.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56- Yeah, it is a good buy.- All right. - What do you think?
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- The final decision's yours. - OK. £39. We'll go for it.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03- Are you sure, Dad?- Yeah.- Cheers, Dad. We'll take it. £39. Great.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- Are you happy with that? - I'm... No.- Not really.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11I think our Albert is just happy that cash is being spent by somebody.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14This is quite nice because this is all Exeter silver.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16That's quite nice.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18That's £330. We can't afford that.
0:14:18 > 0:14:23- But there is a premium for that, as you can see.- Yes.- Yes.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24Walk on, I think.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28I think the place to buy Exeter silver is probably in Sheffield.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Speaking of silver, how's the Blue team feeling about purchase number two?
0:14:32 > 0:14:34I do like my silver photo frame.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38It has great style and I think for £39 it's a good buy.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39So, so far so good.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42We're getting on really well and there's good team spirit.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45I'm not entirely certain about the picture frame
0:14:45 > 0:14:47- but we'll go with Charles's... - We'll go with Charles.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49We'll go with Charles's expertise.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Right, good to see everyone's on the same page.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56The Reds are tearing the place apart.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58- Let's have a look, girls. - It doesn't feel very substantial.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01- Do you know why that is? - Because it's not.- You got it.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- It looked nice from a distance. - Yeah, about three miles.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- You need to get out more. - All right.
0:15:07 > 0:15:1040 minutes gone, chaps. Come on!
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- It's a really extensive tea set, isn't it?- It is.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16- Copeland Spode and there's a lot there, isn't there?- 125.
0:15:16 > 0:15:21- 125? Well, we've got 161 left, I think, but it's too...- Big?
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Again, I'm not struck. Is it complete?
0:15:24 > 0:15:28- Well, it's got six cups.- Six cups. - Six coffee cans.
0:15:28 > 0:15:33- John, it's a good spot. - We've got another floor, we've got 20 minutes - let's come back.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37But you're on track. Two items with 20 minutes to go.
0:15:37 > 0:15:38The Reds, on the other hand...
0:15:38 > 0:15:43Are you thinking that perhaps adding something to those two tools might be an idea?
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- It might be an idea, yeah. - What about that, look?
0:15:46 > 0:15:48- Isn't that a lovely ruler? - That's nicely made, isn't it?
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- That's eight quid.- What's so different about this one, then?
0:15:51 > 0:15:52Erm, well, as a rule...
0:15:52 > 0:15:56- THEY GROAN - If you didn't see that joke coming, you're probably from outer space.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00- I think that's a good plan, do you? - Yeah. £6.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04- Six quid. So I'd go for that.- Yeah. - I think that's... I think so.
0:16:04 > 0:16:09Something tells me it's going to be the bears, the tools and the boots.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Go on - put us out of our misery.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16The Blues still need a final item.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18- Eight minutes to go. - All right, we'll split up.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20You go over there, I'll go over here.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- I can't see anything at all. - Nothing leaping out at you?
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Why not take a leaf out of the Reds' book and think back?
0:16:28 > 0:16:32- It could be the paper mache tray. - I think you might be right.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36Five minutes to go and we finally have decision in the Red camp.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39I think you should go and buy those three bits.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42- Go and charm Albert. Go on. - See what we can do, shall we?
0:16:42 > 0:16:45He doesn't know what he's got coming.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Mm. And it's decision time for the Blues.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50It's your decision. It's the tea set or the tray.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52You make the decision.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56- Go for the tray.- Really? - Go for the tray.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00- If it's still there.- If it's not, we go for the tea set. - It might be gone.- Right.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04- That's the bears, the boots and the tools, please.- The tools.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07So if we do all them for £104?
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- Excellent.- That sounds a bargain. - Yeah.- Right.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- Excellent.- Lovely. Thank you very much.- Good luck.- Thank you.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- You're going to thrash the Blue team, aren't you?- We hope so.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20Well, they're confident - indecisive but confident.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23It's got to be the tray. We made the decision upstairs, didn't we?
0:17:23 > 0:17:28- We made the decision. We'll go for this one.- I don't think we go far wrong with this.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- Can we negotiate?- Hard. - Can we negotiate on what?
0:17:31 > 0:17:33- We're real hard negotiators. - Let's have a look.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35The death on that one would be £50.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37- Is that what you call the death? - That's it.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40We did say upstairs, didn't we? We did say upstairs.
0:17:40 > 0:17:45- That's a really good discount and I think...- For £50. - All right, we'll go for it.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- We'll take it. Good man. - We've got it.- Thank you very much. - Thank you, sir.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50- We're down to the wire. - Yeah, that's true.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54We're at 58 and a half minutes, OK, so well done.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- We can now relax. OK - a cup of tea in the sunshine?- Absolutely.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01- Come on, let's get out of here. - Thanks, Charles.- Well done.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03That's it, time's up, the items bought.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07It's time to leave Topsham and travel east to Honiton
0:18:07 > 0:18:11and to Bearnes, Hampton and Littlewood's saleroom.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14But before we find out if they're going to hit some high profits,
0:18:14 > 0:18:17let's have a little reminder for the Reds.
0:18:19 > 0:18:24A pair of Black Forest bears set them back a roaring £38.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27After the bears came boots.
0:18:27 > 0:18:32This pair of children's hobnailed footwear cost them another £38.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Their third purchase ensured they'd be tooled up for the auction,
0:18:36 > 0:18:39costing them £28 for the set.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44I've been told you're really looking forward to seeing what your bonus buy is.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- We are.- We're looking forward to Philip revealing it.- Revealing all.
0:18:47 > 0:18:52- 196 squids' worth he had to spend. - Ooh!
0:18:52 > 0:18:54- There we are - that is a copper tray.- Ooh!
0:18:54 > 0:18:58And I bought that because I thought, well, we're in Devon,
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Devon's not far from Newlyn,
0:19:00 > 0:19:04this looks, with a bit of imagination, like Newlyn school,
0:19:04 > 0:19:08- so there's a bit of a local theme... - That's beautiful. - ..with a broad imagination.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- Do you like it?- I'd like that myself, actually.- Yeah.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15- And that's cost £35.- No!- Yeah, yeah. So I like that.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- How do you know it's Newlyn? - We don't.- Oh.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Newlyn style.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- You should take that as sort of auto-suggestion, really.- OK.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26We're trying to get that thought into the minds of the buyers.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28You paid £35. How much do you think it's worth?
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Between £30 and £45.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33- So not a lot of profit in it. - No, no, no.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35I'm sorry. I tried hard.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Luckily, the Reds can decide later -
0:19:38 > 0:19:40after the sale of their first three items.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Now for the Blues. Here's a little reminder of what they bought.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49The Blues didn't want to buy big
0:19:49 > 0:19:52and this Japanese chest fitted the bill perfectly.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54£100 paid.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56They weren't too sure about the silver frame
0:19:56 > 0:20:00but Charles thought it pretty as a picture at £39.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Finally, after umming and ahhing,
0:20:04 > 0:20:07they chose this papier-mache gilt tray for £50.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Now, John and Philip, this is your moment.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16You gave Charles £111. Did you blow the lot, Charles?
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- John and Philip are hugely into coins...- OK.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21..so I found the case for you two.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25- Ah!- Do you like it? - Excellent.- Pretty.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29Yeah, a leather covered, gilt brass mounted sovereign and half sovereign case.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33- It's not my best find. - You don't look impressed, Dad.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35- What did you pay for it? - What, for £111?
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- It's quite expensive for 111. - Let me tell you.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40If you were a late Victorian gentleman
0:20:40 > 0:20:43with your half sovereign and sovereign, you'd want a nice case.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46I love this leather finish. It's a bit shabby and chicy.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49But it is all there and complete and it may have been on the end of your fob chain.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51- I hope you didn't pay 111 for it. - No, well, well...
0:20:51 > 0:20:55Yes, it does, it works, so... What do you think?
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- I think it's probably worth... - Come on, Dad.- 40?
0:20:58 > 0:21:01I was going to say at retail I would have thought £75-80.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03- £35.- Oh, well, there you go. - You did well.
0:21:03 > 0:21:09It might just stand a fair chance of hopefully making 45 or 50.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- As I say, it's not my best find. - With the wind up its tail.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14- I like it.- Do you?- I think it's nice.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16I just wish that it had a sovereign and a half sovereign in it
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- but I think you did well. - That's very kind.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- Well, that's a nice reaction. Do you agree with that, John?- Yes, I do.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24All right, super.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Is it a closed case? They'll decide in a while.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31In the meanwhile, auctioneer Brian Goodison-Blanks is ready,
0:21:31 > 0:21:33so let's start the selling.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- Now, girls. Happy?- Yes.- Very happy.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Out of the £104 that you spent,
0:21:38 > 0:21:41he's not predicting much of a profit, frankly.
0:21:41 > 0:21:42- Neither were we.- On any of it.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45But on the other hand, you didn't spend that much.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49It's not big profits you're after. Your strategy is just to make a little and often,
0:21:49 > 0:21:51which is fair enough.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55The first lot up are your two bears and here they come.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Two Black Forest carved wooden bears.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00And what am I to say for those? £15?
0:22:01 > 0:22:04£10? £10 here I have. At 10. And 12 now for the bears.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07- At £10, maiden bid only.- No! - 12 at all?
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- £10. 12 on the internet, I'll take. 15.- It's on the internet.
0:22:10 > 0:22:1418, internet? I've got 15 in the room, I want 18 online.
0:22:14 > 0:22:1618, fresh place. 20?
0:22:16 > 0:22:2122, 25. At least he's here. £22. In the second room, then. At £22.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- £22 is minus 16 but let's not fret. - Is it? Oh, that's a shame.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Because here come the old boots.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Early 20th century child's hobnail boots, size 12.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36- Rather interesting, these ones, and I'll start these here at £20.- Ooh.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Commission bid with me. 22, now?
0:22:38 > 0:22:4122, 25, 28, 30, 2.
0:22:41 > 0:22:46- 35, 38. Are you sure? - Oh, come on.- We want more.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Commission with me at 35. 8 now elsewhere?
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Are you quite sure, then? For the pair of shoes at £35...
0:22:51 > 0:22:53- No money. Bad luck. - THEY GROAN
0:22:53 > 0:22:56That is just minus £3.
0:22:56 > 0:23:0135 is minus £3, totalling minus 19 so far.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05- OK, here comes the tools.- The set square, the dividers and the rule.
0:23:05 > 0:23:06What am I to say for those?
0:23:06 > 0:23:09£5? 5 I have, thank you. Eight?
0:23:09 > 0:23:1210. 12?
0:23:12 > 0:23:1612 online? At £10 in the room, then. At 10. And 12 online? No.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18- Oh, lord.- At £10, then, in the room.
0:23:19 > 0:23:2112, fresh place. 15?
0:23:21 > 0:23:23£12, now. Thank you, sir.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26At £12 here. In the room, then, at 12.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29- A hat trick - all three. - A hat trick of losses, sadly.
0:23:29 > 0:23:34So 19, 29, minus 35. You are minus £35, girls.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38- Wow!- Now, the Newlyn copper tray cost £35.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40- I think we've got to go for it. - What do you think, Phil?
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Well, I don't know, really.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43- I think we'll go for it. - We've got to.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46You don't have to, actually. You can just park it.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Because minus £35 could be a winning score.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50- Are you going for it or not? Quick! - Go for it.- Go for it.- All right.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52We're cracking on.
0:23:52 > 0:23:57The Newlyn-style copper tray and commission's with me here at £20.
0:23:57 > 0:24:0222, now? 22. 25. 28? 30, 32, 35, 38?
0:24:02 > 0:24:0440, 2, 45. 48?
0:24:04 > 0:24:0745 my bid, then. At £45.
0:24:07 > 0:24:08And eight now, anybody else?
0:24:08 > 0:24:10- Good man!- Commission's with me, then, at 45.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Eight, now? At £45...
0:24:13 > 0:24:15- Yes!- Good decision, girls.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18- That's plus £10. - See the faith we had in you?
0:24:18 > 0:24:22- Good boy. That's reduced your losses to minus £25.- Minus £25.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Which is more respectable.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28That's why you love the man. That's why he does the business for you, which is marvellous.
0:24:28 > 0:24:33Anyway, so you've got a total of minus 25, which could be a winning score.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37- It could be.- So say not a word to the Blues, OK?
0:24:45 > 0:24:49- OK, JP, how's it going for you? All right?- Yeah, yeah, it's fine.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52- Confident?- No.- Oh, come on!
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Well, the cabinet is first up and here it comes.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57So, the pearl cabinet there, with the inlay
0:24:57 > 0:24:59and specimen woods, as you can see.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02And interest here with me at £40.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05At 40 with me. And five I'm looking for now. My bid here at £40.
0:25:05 > 0:25:11- Commission at 40. Five, I can see. - Come on.- 50, 5, 60, 5.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12OK, OK. Come on.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14- 70, 5.- OK.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16£70 bid is with me. And five elsewhere?
0:25:16 > 0:25:20- Anybody else? Anybody else? - My bid then at £70.- Come on.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23- THEY GROAN - £70.- I felt sure that one was worth more.- Miserable.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Minus £35. Miserable.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27OK, now the photo frame.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29The Art Nouveau-style silver photograph frame.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33It's London 1968, at 20, 25, 30.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35- OK, that's good.- Good.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37- 35, now?- Come on.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39£30 bid is here. Five I'm looking for.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43- Oh, somebody...!- 35, 40, 45 online. - Come on, come on.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47- My bid at 40. 45 internet? - I don't believe this.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49At £40, then.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51£40 and you are plus £1.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53- We're playing catch-up. - That means you're minus 29.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55- Oh, dear.- Now the rectangular tray.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58The Victorian papier-mache gilt rectangular tray
0:25:58 > 0:26:00and commission's here with me at 40.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03- At £40 here. 45 I'm looking for. - Come on.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05- At 40 with me.- Somebody!
0:26:05 > 0:26:10- 42 I'll take. 45, 48.- One more. - Let's not haggle. At 45 with me.
0:26:10 > 0:26:1448, now? At £45 then...
0:26:14 > 0:26:17- My bid at 45.- I can't believe it. - Disappointing.- Very.
0:26:17 > 0:26:22That is minus £5 on that, which means you're back to minus 34.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26Minus £34. So are we going with the sovereign case or not?
0:26:26 > 0:26:27I think we have to, don't you?
0:26:27 > 0:26:30- You don't have to. Minus 34 could be a winning score. - It could be but I think...
0:26:30 > 0:26:34- You can park it.- We're not going to make... I don't think we're going to lose on it.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37- Let's go for it.- Let's go for it. - I agree.- A bit of excitement.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39We've got nothing to lose, have we?
0:26:39 > 0:26:42I think it will go for 40. We'll make £5 on it.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44OK, we have a prediction.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48- Are you happy? Are we going to go with it?- Definitely.- OK, lovely.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52- We're going with the bonus buy at £35...- Come on. - ..and here it comes.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55It is the late Victorian leather case sovereign holder.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59- More like a charity case, this one. - Charity case?- Bid me £5.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03- Five I have, thank you.- Five?- Eight. Ten I have, here. 12? 12 I have.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05- And 15.- Oh, for goodness' sake.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09- 18.- Come on!- This is mean. - 20, 22, 25, 28, 30, 2.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- One more, sir.- At £30 here. - One more.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14- 32 at all?- One more? - Quite sure, then, at 30?
0:27:14 > 0:27:17THEY GROAN
0:27:17 > 0:27:18So instead of making five we lost five.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- Didn't you say a profit of £5? - I thought we'd make a profit of £5.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23- I meant the word "loss". - You had five in your mind.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27- I meant "loss".- You had five in your mind but in the mists of your prediction...
0:27:27 > 0:27:31Yeah, I got that wrong. I did mean a loss of £5.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33- Anyway, minus 39 is the end score. - Never mind.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36- That could be a winning score. Don't talk to the Reds.- We won't.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38- All will be revealed in a moment. - Fantastic.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40- Thank you very much. - Brilliant. Thank you, Tim.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Oh, dear, neither team making a profit today.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46With only £14 between them,
0:27:46 > 0:27:49the Reds narrowly had the winning score with minus £25.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Coming up, will our next two teams manage to make
0:27:53 > 0:27:56some marvellous profits? We'll see.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05Meanwhile, we're heading off somewhere positively divine.
0:28:06 > 0:28:11Antony in Cornwall has been home to the Carew family for over 600 years.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15It continues to be a home to the latest generation of Carew Poles
0:28:15 > 0:28:19and is also the perfect space to display the wide variety
0:28:19 > 0:28:22of fascinating artefacts, antiques and furniture
0:28:22 > 0:28:24the family have collected.
0:28:24 > 0:28:29It was the Roman philosopher Cicero who said,
0:28:29 > 0:28:33"To add a library to a house is to give it soul,"
0:28:33 > 0:28:38and here at Antony, certainly this library is a soulful place.
0:28:38 > 0:28:43And out of the collection of books in the library,
0:28:43 > 0:28:47one of the most notable that's caught my eye is this,
0:28:47 > 0:28:52which is absolutely unique and relevant to Antony.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54If I turn to the title page,
0:28:54 > 0:29:00it says Antony House in Cornwall A Seat Of Reginald Pole Carew.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03In the introduction page, it identifies the author,
0:29:03 > 0:29:06the landscape gardener Humphrey Repton,
0:29:06 > 0:29:13who produced this for Pole Carew in October 1792.
0:29:13 > 0:29:18This particular book is a facsimile, it's a modern reproduction,
0:29:18 > 0:29:20but it contains plates that are relevant,
0:29:20 > 0:29:23so let's pop outside and have a bird's-eye.
0:29:27 > 0:29:33So, in 1792, Reginald Pole Carew would have stood here
0:29:33 > 0:29:36on the north front of his mansion house,
0:29:36 > 0:29:40looking out over the garden with Humphrey Repton.
0:29:40 > 0:29:45And the view they would have seen at that moment looked like this.
0:29:45 > 0:29:51Effectively, a tall stone wall ran through the park at this point,
0:29:51 > 0:29:54with the distant Tamar beyond.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58Such was the magic of Repton's art
0:29:58 > 0:30:02that by folding back these paper sections,
0:30:02 > 0:30:06he'd be able to illustrate to Reginald Pole Carew
0:30:06 > 0:30:10exactly what he would see from this point
0:30:10 > 0:30:13after the works and plantings had matured.
0:30:13 > 0:30:17And if you look at his vision for the future
0:30:17 > 0:30:19and then what we see today,
0:30:19 > 0:30:24sure enough, you do get three delicious glimpses
0:30:24 > 0:30:28of the distant Tamar with those lovely hills beyond.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30Hmm! Clever, isn't it?
0:30:30 > 0:30:34Back in Topsham, at the Quay Antiques Centre,
0:30:34 > 0:30:38and there's bargains galore awaiting our next two teams to snap up.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40But who are they?
0:30:40 > 0:30:46Today we have Tom and Patrick, brothers representing the Reds,
0:30:46 > 0:30:48and partners Lisa and Paul for the Blues.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50- Hello, everyone.- ALL: Hello!
0:30:50 > 0:30:51Lovely to see you.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54Tom, let's start with you. What line of work are you in?
0:30:54 > 0:30:57I'm a stand-up comedian/ sit-down writer.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59- Are you really?- Yes.
0:30:59 > 0:31:00In that order?
0:31:00 > 0:31:01A little bit of both.
0:31:01 > 0:31:02- Really?- Yeah.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05Well, that's very brave - stand-up comicry.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07I suppose it is fairly, yeah.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10I don't think I could do that, I have to say.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Well, you get used to it.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15I mean, I still get pretty nervous before going on, but...
0:31:15 > 0:31:19They say that the adrenaline nerve is the thing that gives you
0:31:19 > 0:31:22- your edge, but it's not a nice thing, though, is it?- No, it's not.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24If you're going to stand up in a beery environment
0:31:24 > 0:31:27and try and make somebody laugh and they don't find you amusing,
0:31:27 > 0:31:30- then you soon know that, don't you? - Hasn't happened often, though.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32Well, I'm glad to hear that. Well, good luck with it.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34Now, Patrick, what do you get up to?
0:31:34 > 0:31:37Your brother's establishing himself as a writer and comic,
0:31:37 > 0:31:41- what do you do?- I've actually got, sort of, two jobs on the go.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43First one being taxidermy,
0:31:43 > 0:31:45which I've been doing since I was about 12,
0:31:45 > 0:31:49and I'm a gamekeeper as well in my spare time.
0:31:49 > 0:31:53Well, those two connected jobs are rather convenient, aren't they?
0:31:53 > 0:31:55They go rather well together, yes.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59You've done some pretty big mammals in your time, haven't you?
0:31:59 > 0:32:02Yes, not ones that I've personally shot -
0:32:02 > 0:32:05things that were found about 100 years ago.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07Things like tigers and polar bears.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10- Have you done big cats?- Yeah, I've worked on a few of those, yeah.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13Oh, God. What are you going to go for, you two?
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Just anything a bit fun, a bit quirky, really.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19We want to find fun stuff - we're not in the market for crockery.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Not something you'd find on Grandma's shelf.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24Something a bit different that's going to stand out in the auction.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26This is the voice of youth today!
0:32:26 > 0:32:29What is going to happen on Bargain Hunt? Anyway, very good luck.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31So, team.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34- How did you and Paul meet, Lisa? - We met a couple of years ago.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37Paul's a host at one of the local hotels in Torquay,
0:32:37 > 0:32:40I was brought in as the Christmas Day singer,
0:32:40 > 0:32:43and we sort of hit it off. Paul texted me later that evening
0:32:43 > 0:32:46and we've been together pretty much ever since.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48- Why don't you give us a trill, then, Lise?- OK.
0:32:48 > 0:32:49Here we go, then. Stand by.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Exercise your vocal cords,
0:32:51 > 0:32:55because this is...Lisa!
0:32:55 > 0:32:57# Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
0:32:59 > 0:33:03# It's not warm when he's away
0:33:03 > 0:33:07# Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
0:33:07 > 0:33:10# This house just ain't no home
0:33:10 > 0:33:12# Any time he goes away. #
0:33:12 > 0:33:16Now, listen, how brave do you have to be to do that?
0:33:16 > 0:33:18You've got a really beautiful voice.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20- Thank you.- That's fantastic.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22No backing group, she didn't know
0:33:22 > 0:33:25she was going to have to do it, and out she trilled, which is great.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28Paul, you're in the same line of business, then?
0:33:28 > 0:33:30Yeah, pretty much the same line.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32I do the all-round entertainment thing.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36I obviously sing a few songs, tell a few gags.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38I also run my own disco company as well.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41Seems to me that you two were made for each other, then.
0:33:41 > 0:33:42- That's rather clever, isn't it?- Yes.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45Now, guys, what do you collect and what's your tactics going to be?
0:33:45 > 0:33:48- What do you collect, Lisa? - I collect shoes.- Do you?
0:33:48 > 0:33:51I don't know if it's a... Well, it is a collection, as such,
0:33:51 > 0:33:53I've probably got in excess of 80 pairs.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56Are you the Imelda Marcos of Torquay?
0:33:56 > 0:33:58The first thing she did when we moved in together was
0:33:58 > 0:34:01- she made me go out and buy her a shoe wardrobe.- Yes.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04You never know what you're going to find in an antique centre like Topsham.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08Anyway, the money moment now, £300 apiece. There's your £300.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11You know the rules, your experts await, and off you go!
0:34:11 > 0:34:13Very, very, very good luck.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16I feel like bursting into song myself.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25- So, you... This one here...- Yes.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27- You stuff things?- I do indeed.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30And you, you crack them up laughing?
0:34:30 > 0:34:33- I try to.- Oh, right, OK, fine.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36I think I'm going to stick on your side and not your side, then.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38- Don't turn your back to him. - No, absolutely.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41OK, guys, so we're by the seaside.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43And I'm with a couple of lovebirds.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46- Even a couple of songbirds. - Indeed you are.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49And before we go Bargain Hunting, can you give me a warm up?
0:34:49 > 0:34:52# La-la-la-la-la-la! #
0:34:52 > 0:34:55- Follow me.- Woo! CHARLES LAUGHS
0:34:56 > 0:34:58And they're off, with both teams raring to go.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01Their 60 minutes start now.
0:35:13 > 0:35:17Now, this, Patrick, is stuffed, so it's not exactly what you want.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19It was never living, though.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24- It's an old... It's described as an old teddy bear.- It's £39!
0:35:24 > 0:35:26Yeah, but it might be worth a lot of money.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28It's got a mini chair, though.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32Could we not buy him and the chair and then have it as one thing?
0:35:32 > 0:35:35- One lovely, little...- What have you found, guys?- teddy bear on a chair.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37And how much is the chair?
0:35:37 > 0:35:40- I like the chair, but I hate the bear.- The chair is £22.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43- Let's have a look. The chair... - It's a little bit damaged.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46I think the chair's a bit fun, isn't it?
0:35:46 > 0:35:49- Yeah.- It's for tiny people.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51- That rules you and I out.- Yeah.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53What do you think its background would be?
0:35:53 > 0:35:57Well, it's copying a sort of a late 18th/early 19th-century
0:35:57 > 0:36:00rush-seated, ladder-backed chair. That's called a ladder back
0:36:00 > 0:36:03because it's like a ladder that you step up, OK? Erm...
0:36:04 > 0:36:09When I first saw it, I thought it was probably 1950s,
0:36:09 > 0:36:11but I think it might be a little bit earlier than that.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15If you can get that for 15 quid, I think it gives you a chance.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17- So that's our cheapo, isn't it? - That's our cheap option.
0:36:17 > 0:36:21- Go and have a word with the man up there.- With this?
0:36:21 > 0:36:24- Yeah, and let the stuffer and I go and see what we can find.- OK.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29So, whilst Tom negotiates for the chair,
0:36:29 > 0:36:33the Blues continue to hunt high and low for that elusive first buy.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37- Now, what have they found here? - They're nice, aren't they?- Yeah.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39- They are nice.- I like them.
0:36:39 > 0:36:40Good spot - I like them.
0:36:40 > 0:36:44- And I think you'd buy them as a pair, wouldn't you?- Yeah.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48- I like that one.- Because they're very aesthetic, aren't they?
0:36:48 > 0:36:50And they're actually...
0:36:50 > 0:36:54little, sort of table...almost like fruit bowls, aren't they?
0:36:54 > 0:36:56Or just little table centrepieces.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58But they are quite decorative.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01These go back to around 1885, 1890.
0:37:01 > 0:37:06And at the height of the fashion for all things Japanese.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09These were made for the western market.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11£24 a pair, should be worth 40?
0:37:11 > 0:37:13I reckon, at auction,
0:37:13 > 0:37:17I would guide them at between, probably, 40 and 60.
0:37:17 > 0:37:1950 and £70. So if I can get a deal...
0:37:19 > 0:37:21They're £28 each, aren't they?
0:37:21 > 0:37:24- BOTH: 24.- That's OK, which makes what?- 48.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26- Exactly. He's a clever guy.- Yeah!
0:37:26 > 0:37:28He's a clever guy. 48, OK.
0:37:28 > 0:37:33If we could get the pair for, like, I don't know, £35, even 30...
0:37:33 > 0:37:35- Go in at 30. - Yeah, go in at £30, yeah.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39Whilst the Blues head off to get a price for the plates,
0:37:39 > 0:37:43it seems Tom has an update about the chair.
0:37:43 > 0:37:44Here we go, take a seat.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46- Now you're rushing me.- Here.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48Now listen, do you think if you put this into auction
0:37:48 > 0:37:49you're going to have a leg to stand on?!
0:37:49 > 0:37:55- There we go!- 18 quid. I think that at auction is going to make...
0:37:55 > 0:37:57I think it's going to make between 20 and 35 quid.
0:37:57 > 0:37:58Well, that would be a profit.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00- Let's go and put that over there.- Right.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04Definitely buy it, and we'll just carry on and see what we can find.
0:38:04 > 0:38:05- Excellent.- Right.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08Great news - that's the first item in the old bag for the Reds,
0:38:08 > 0:38:10and only 20 minutes into the shop.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13Now, what's the latest on them plates?
0:38:14 > 0:38:18- Cheapest we can do it would be £40. - Did you hear that?
0:38:18 > 0:38:23That's pretty good, it's £8 off. So from 48, we've come down to 40.
0:38:23 > 0:38:24- Worth a gamble?- I think so -
0:38:24 > 0:38:27- we're running out of time, aren't we?- Think so?- Yep.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30- Need to buy something. - Let's buy them. Yeah?
0:38:30 > 0:38:31- We'll take.- Job done.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36One down, two to go. So, both teams have their purchases.
0:38:38 > 0:38:4130 minutes in, and it seems Charles has spotted
0:38:41 > 0:38:44another oriental piece for the Blues.
0:38:44 > 0:38:48- Paul, it's a blue and white plate, right?- Yep.- Lisa, do you like it?
0:38:48 > 0:38:50- Yeah.- You've got here...
0:38:50 > 0:38:54You've got the sea, you've got a lakeland landscape,
0:38:54 > 0:38:57but this plate was made in the 18th century.
0:38:57 > 0:39:01It was made under the reign of Emperor Chien-Lung, or Qianlong,
0:39:01 > 0:39:05who... It was a period of history from 1735 to '95.
0:39:05 > 0:39:09So, this would go back to around the French Revolution.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13It would go back to the time of King George III. It's 18th century.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15- Isn't it great?- Yeah.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19And it's £12. And to me... that's a bargain.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23- Lisa doesn't look quite so sure, Charles.- Lisa, look at me!
0:39:23 > 0:39:28Lisa, this is it. This is the gold mine. This really is...
0:39:28 > 0:39:31Buy an antique with a big capital A.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33Because it really is what it purports to be.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35- Shall we try and make an offer? - Yes.- Yes.
0:39:35 > 0:39:39- Give him a shout, Paul, he's over there.- And your best deal?
0:39:41 > 0:39:44Probably be ten at the lowest.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47Well, it's a good thing.
0:39:47 > 0:39:51It's a shame we can't get a bit more off, but £10 is £10.
0:39:51 > 0:39:57- Just remember, it is blue, OK?- We are Team Blue, let's go for it. £10.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00- OK, that's it.- We've got to go with it, and then let's go and spend...
0:40:00 > 0:40:04- How much is left over?- BOTH: £250.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06- Really?- Let's buy something big.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08- Let's go big for Lisa.- OK.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11OK, we'll take it, sir. Thanks ever so much, great.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14Don't worry, Blues - you're in safe hands with Carlos.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Now, what have the Reds spotted here?
0:40:16 > 0:40:19Let's have a look at these two.
0:40:19 > 0:40:20That's the old... What's that?
0:40:20 > 0:40:24That would be a... Oh, I reckon this is probably a rack adjust.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27- Oh, the old rack-adjust telescope. - Yeah.- Looks like one.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29- You do the gags, he stuffs. - You've been doing the gags!
0:40:29 > 0:40:32- I'm the antique man.- I'll do some of the antique stuff now. There we go.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35- Kids trying to nick our jobs now. - I like that one, that's quite sweet.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39What would be nice... Normally, there's a maker's name here.
0:40:39 > 0:40:44- There you go. The Spotter.- I quite like that.- I like its action.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46- Do you really? - This one doesn't have...
0:40:46 > 0:40:50- Well, that's the old rack adjust, isn't it?- Well, exactly.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52That's priced up at £59.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54I think at auction that's going to make
0:40:54 > 0:40:56probably 30 to 50, 40 to 60 quid.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58- Right.- So you've got to be buying that for...
0:40:59 > 0:41:02I suspect it's not going to come to much below 50,
0:41:02 > 0:41:04which doesn't give you much of a chance.
0:41:04 > 0:41:08- It is nice, though. - I think it's a 40 to £50 lot.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11I'd like to see you buy that. Do you want to have a word with the lady?
0:41:11 > 0:41:13- Let's have a haggle, shall we?- Yeah.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16Could you possibly find out
0:41:16 > 0:41:19what the best is you could do on that for us, my love, please?
0:41:20 > 0:41:24- So, two small items, let's now try and find that really big one.- Yeah.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28- Yeah.- Really big.- Really big one, really big one!- Oh, hello!
0:41:29 > 0:41:31- So, you just bought your plate?- Yes.
0:41:32 > 0:41:37- That's nice, isn't it? - Yeah. In good order. Yeah, exactly.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40- Little hairline crack. - Oh, yes, thank you!
0:41:41 > 0:41:45I think I'll shut up while I'm ahead. You can re-negotiate now.
0:41:45 > 0:41:46I don't know, it cost £10.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49I didn't see that. I've missed that lovely little crack there,
0:41:49 > 0:41:52and Mr Wonnacott's just seen it.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54Yeah, thanks, thanks, mate(!)
0:41:54 > 0:41:58- I can't believe it! Sorry, guys. - It's been lovely seeing you!
0:41:58 > 0:42:00Yeah, look, you can see just there.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03I've got an appetite, and tonight it might mean what?
0:42:03 > 0:42:07- Singing for our supper?- Well, my supper, exactly. I can't believe it.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10£10 down, but do you know what? It's 18th century and we'll stand by it.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13- And do you know what? It might still make a profit.- Yeah.- You watch.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15- £10.- Exactly.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Ever the optimist, Charles!
0:42:18 > 0:42:23Whilst waiting for a price on the telescope, what has Phil fished out?
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Salmon gaff, look.
0:42:25 > 0:42:26- Salmon gaff?- Yeah.
0:42:26 > 0:42:30So you'd be out fishing for your salmon
0:42:30 > 0:42:31and you'd get one on the line.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34And as it comes in, instead of netting it, you'd hook it.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36- And you extend it and you hook it like that.- Careful, careful!
0:42:36 > 0:42:39Easy, tiger. And this is all in brass.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42And this is...
0:42:42 > 0:42:45Might be rosewood, or what does it say on the thing?
0:42:45 > 0:42:49It just says "Telescopic salmon gaff". And it's priced at £98.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53I bought one of these 12 years ago and paid about 160 quid for it.
0:42:53 > 0:42:54- Do you like that?- I do, yes.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56Is that your sort of thing?
0:42:56 > 0:42:57It's an interesting...
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Have a word with the dealer and see what the best price for that is,
0:43:00 > 0:43:02see what the best price for the telescope is,
0:43:02 > 0:43:04what the best price for the two is,
0:43:04 > 0:43:06ask him to put them by for half an hour,
0:43:06 > 0:43:09- then that takes the pressure off us a bit, doesn't it?- Yeah.- Absolutely.
0:43:09 > 0:43:10- Job's done.- Brilliant.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13- I will go and have a word with the dealer.- Thank you very much.
0:43:13 > 0:43:16So, good luck with reeling in a deal, Phil.
0:43:16 > 0:43:20But the teams have only 15 minutes left to go.
0:43:20 > 0:43:23It's always nice to spend cheap, but when you spend cheap
0:43:23 > 0:43:25and buy badly, it's even worse.
0:43:25 > 0:43:29So, the two Japanese dishes are delightful,
0:43:29 > 0:43:31and for £40 they're on the money,
0:43:31 > 0:43:33but that plate, which had
0:43:33 > 0:43:36such a pedigree, is now just a broken plate.
0:43:36 > 0:43:40Guys, are we ready? Now, then. Here's the plan.
0:43:40 > 0:43:45The telescope, which was £59, we can have for 50.
0:43:45 > 0:43:50And that's the finish, OK? The gaff, which was £98, we can have for 85.
0:43:50 > 0:43:53And if we buy them both, they're still 50 and 85.
0:43:53 > 0:43:55So, my suggestion is we put them both by
0:43:55 > 0:43:59for however long we've got left, have a look round.
0:43:59 > 0:44:02I can see us definitely coming back for this, and if we can't find
0:44:02 > 0:44:05anything better that floats our boat, we'll come back for this.
0:44:05 > 0:44:07- Yeah.- But what we don't want to do is make a gaff, do we?- Oh!
0:44:07 > 0:44:10That's another maritime pun, at it again!
0:44:10 > 0:44:13Phil, leave the gags to Tom, will you?
0:44:13 > 0:44:16Looks like Charles has a plan to spend some money.
0:44:16 > 0:44:20- Do you know? I'm thinking...I'm thinking nice piece of silver.- Yes.
0:44:20 > 0:44:23Something sparkly to give us a bit of flamboyance.
0:44:23 > 0:44:24- Definitely.- Let's do it.
0:44:26 > 0:44:28Despite time ticking on,
0:44:28 > 0:44:32Phil and the boys decide to talk tactics in the sunshine.
0:44:32 > 0:44:34We've just had to come outside to get a bit of clear thinking
0:44:34 > 0:44:36on this, haven't we? We've rushed,
0:44:36 > 0:44:38ground floor, first floor, second floor,
0:44:38 > 0:44:40we've seen pretty much everything there is.
0:44:40 > 0:44:43- Is there anything else that you like at all?- Erm...
0:44:43 > 0:44:46- I don't know. I mean... I like the salmon hook.- Yeah.
0:44:46 > 0:44:48- What's it called? BOTH:- Gaff.
0:44:48 > 0:44:51- I like the gaff, but...I don't know.- Yeah.
0:44:51 > 0:44:54- I think we don't have any time to... - There's nothing else I've seen...
0:44:54 > 0:44:57We've got three to five minutes left, or something like that.
0:44:57 > 0:45:00So literally all we've got time for is to go back in and say,
0:45:00 > 0:45:02"Yes, we'll have them."
0:45:02 > 0:45:04- Yeah.- So, it's 50 quid and £85.
0:45:04 > 0:45:06Otherwise, we end up just taking away a small chair.
0:45:06 > 0:45:09Yeah, otherwise we go into the final conflict
0:45:09 > 0:45:11with £18 worth of modern chair, really.
0:45:11 > 0:45:14- So, that's not the answer, is it? - Let's get the gaff.
0:45:14 > 0:45:17Let's just hope it doesn't leave us like that over there.
0:45:17 > 0:45:19Er, anyone got that sinking feeling?
0:45:21 > 0:45:23Right, we got to go here. Come on, guys.
0:45:25 > 0:45:27I hope they're still here. Oh, that's a relief. Here we are.
0:45:27 > 0:45:31- I didn't sell them!- 50 and 85, job's done?- Done, let's do it.
0:45:31 > 0:45:34- Shake hands, shake with the man. - Jolly good, 135.
0:45:34 > 0:45:36- I think you've made the right decision.- Thank you very much.
0:45:36 > 0:45:38So, the Reds have landed all three items,
0:45:38 > 0:45:42and with only minutes to go, it's crunch time for the Blues.
0:45:42 > 0:45:45- This is it now, this is where time is really of the essence.- Yeah.
0:45:45 > 0:45:48This is a very, very nice silver christening mug
0:45:48 > 0:45:51with a good weight. The one problem is, it has got an inscription.
0:45:51 > 0:45:54It says here, "ES Parkin, from his godfather."
0:45:54 > 0:45:55So that's not so good,
0:45:55 > 0:45:58because inscribed objects haven't got the same popularity.
0:45:58 > 0:45:59What's that like?
0:45:59 > 0:46:01- It's quite heavy, it's quite pretty.- Yep.
0:46:01 > 0:46:06- I like this, more so than I like... - OK, let's have...
0:46:06 > 0:46:09This is early, which is good. This is 1830, who was King of England?
0:46:09 > 0:46:11- I'll test you.- Don't ask me!
0:46:11 > 0:46:14William. William IV. He was in his first year.
0:46:14 > 0:46:16The maker, we can see, is G Turner.
0:46:16 > 0:46:21We've got the all-important Exeter three-turret mark on there as well.
0:46:21 > 0:46:23What would you use it for?
0:46:23 > 0:46:25- Fish.- Exactly, and where are we?
0:46:25 > 0:46:27- In Topsham.- On the...?
0:46:27 > 0:46:30- Along the coast?- Exactly, so it might appeal to fish people,
0:46:30 > 0:46:31perhaps fishermen and all of that.
0:46:31 > 0:46:35And we're going to Exeter and, of course, it's hallmarked for Exeter,
0:46:35 > 0:46:38so maybe fish of Topsham and Exeter being its place of assay
0:46:38 > 0:46:41all those years ago, it might have a popularity.
0:46:41 > 0:46:45But it needs to be nearer £200 to give us a chance, OK?
0:46:45 > 0:46:46We've got three minutes to go.
0:46:46 > 0:46:49- What's the best you can do us on this?- I don't know.
0:46:52 > 0:46:55We could go to 200 and...20.
0:46:55 > 0:46:5715.
0:46:57 > 0:47:00- You wouldn't go one more? - We've got 30 seconds left!
0:47:00 > 0:47:01Give us a slice off, sir!
0:47:01 > 0:47:02How much are you going to pay me back?!
0:47:02 > 0:47:04- THEY LAUGH - All right, 215.
0:47:04 > 0:47:07Job done. Sold. Job done. We got it. That's great.
0:47:07 > 0:47:09Thank you, sir. Shake his hand quick.
0:47:09 > 0:47:10That's it.
0:47:12 > 0:47:15- That was close! - That was too close for comfort.
0:47:15 > 0:47:17Congratulations, Blues.
0:47:17 > 0:47:22You've finished your shop too, and just in the nick of time.
0:47:22 > 0:47:24Now it's time to sell, and we're off
0:47:24 > 0:47:28to the Bearnes, Hampton & Littlewood saleroom in Honiton.
0:47:28 > 0:47:30Before we find out if they make a profit or not,
0:47:30 > 0:47:33let's have a reminder of what the Reds bought.
0:47:35 > 0:47:39First of all, they stuffed £18 into a rush-seated ladder-back chair.
0:47:42 > 0:47:47Next, they zoomed in on this telescope, picking it up for £50.
0:47:48 > 0:47:55Finally, the brass and turned-wood salmon gaff caught their eye at £85.
0:47:55 > 0:47:58- Tom, Patrick - are you ready for this?- Definitely.
0:47:58 > 0:48:03You spent 153. He had 147. What did you spend it on, Phil?
0:48:03 > 0:48:06I just had a vision of these boys in the pub,
0:48:06 > 0:48:09having a quiet game of crib and a smoke.
0:48:09 > 0:48:10So I bought this.
0:48:10 > 0:48:12England's Glory - the match people.
0:48:12 > 0:48:14It's a crib board.
0:48:14 > 0:48:17- You're completely underwhelmed. - I am a bit!
0:48:17 > 0:48:19Tom, have you ever played cribbage?
0:48:19 > 0:48:21- I have.- Good.
0:48:21 > 0:48:23I was one of the most boring games I've played,
0:48:23 > 0:48:25if I'm honest with you, Phil.
0:48:25 > 0:48:27So this is going to go down really well(!)
0:48:27 > 0:48:29You're not a member of the British Cribbage Society(?)
0:48:29 > 0:48:31They wouldn't have me. No.
0:48:31 > 0:48:35Explain to your bro exactly what goes on here.
0:48:35 > 0:48:36It's a card game.
0:48:36 > 0:48:38- Cards not included?- No.
0:48:38 > 0:48:42- So it's already one thing wrong with it!- Damaged!- Yeah!
0:48:42 > 0:48:46- You have little pegs. Pegs not included?- No.
0:48:46 > 0:48:47Really, it's kind of a...
0:48:47 > 0:48:49- You use it as a scoreboard?- Yeah.
0:48:49 > 0:48:52You play the game, you use it as a scoreboard,
0:48:52 > 0:48:55you advance the pegs up and down through these little holes.
0:48:55 > 0:48:57There are people who collect all this advertising stuff.
0:48:57 > 0:49:01I paid £20 for it, and I think it might make you 10 or £15 profit.
0:49:01 > 0:49:02No more than that.
0:49:02 > 0:49:04- It's a safety net.- Yeah.
0:49:04 > 0:49:05I can't see you losing money.
0:49:05 > 0:49:08- It's not a safety match. - No. Very good!
0:49:08 > 0:49:09I like that!
0:49:09 > 0:49:13We'll see if they play it safe later on.
0:49:13 > 0:49:16In the meanwhile, let's discuss the Blue team's three items.
0:49:16 > 0:49:19Here's a little reminder.
0:49:19 > 0:49:24They acquired this pair of lacquer pedestal dishes for £40.
0:49:25 > 0:49:30Continuing the theme, they chose an 18th-century blue-and-white plate,
0:49:30 > 0:49:34despite its small hairline crack, for a smashing £10.
0:49:35 > 0:49:41Finally, they spent a whopping £215 on an Exeter silver fish slice. Wow.
0:49:43 > 0:49:44Now, you two naughty ones.
0:49:46 > 0:49:52You spent a magnificent £265 and only gave Charles £35. Charles?
0:49:52 > 0:49:54Tim, exactly.
0:49:54 > 0:49:57We came off the rough-and-tumble edge of a wonderful fish slice
0:49:57 > 0:49:59that cost a large sum of money,
0:49:59 > 0:50:02so I wanted to dig deep and find a piece of silver that would
0:50:02 > 0:50:04just bring us back into the game,
0:50:04 > 0:50:08back into making a profit overall. So I found Sylvia.
0:50:09 > 0:50:11- Eh?- And here is Sylvia.
0:50:11 > 0:50:16Or Sylvia's little vesta case, or match-case sleeve.
0:50:16 > 0:50:21From the year 1920. So it's George V, and it's solid silver.
0:50:21 > 0:50:25- Feel the weight of that, feel the weight.- That's quite heavy.
0:50:25 > 0:50:28And I'm just hoping today in Honiton there might be
0:50:28 > 0:50:33Sylvia in the room who's looking for a very nice silver match case.
0:50:33 > 0:50:35- Sylvia looking for silver.- Exactly.
0:50:35 > 0:50:38- How many people do you know called Sylvia, Charles?- Not many.
0:50:38 > 0:50:42It's like Barbara or Margaret - they're slightly outdated names.
0:50:42 > 0:50:44Paul, how many people called Sylvia do you know?
0:50:44 > 0:50:47A grand scale of no-one.
0:50:47 > 0:50:49Lisa, how are you with Sylvia, sweet?
0:50:49 > 0:50:51- No-one.- Lovely.
0:50:51 > 0:50:52I rest my case.
0:50:52 > 0:50:54It's a blast from the past. It has a pedigree.
0:50:54 > 0:50:58We can only imagine, who was Sylvia who liked her silver
0:50:58 > 0:51:00back in the Roaring Twenties...?
0:51:00 > 0:51:04- Did you use all the money? - It cost me 20.
0:51:04 > 0:51:07- OK.- I'll be very disappointed if Sylvia doesn't race away
0:51:07 > 0:51:09and doesn't make 30 or £35.
0:51:09 > 0:51:12- I do like it. I think you've done well.- Thank you very much.
0:51:12 > 0:51:15Will there be a Sylvia in the room today?
0:51:15 > 0:51:19We'll see before long, as we're about to start selling.
0:51:19 > 0:51:21Brian Goodison-Blanks, the auctioneer,
0:51:21 > 0:51:24has his gavel in hand, and is ready to sell, sell, sell.
0:51:27 > 0:51:29Tom, Paddy, how are you feeling?
0:51:29 > 0:51:32- Pretty good. Pretty confident. - Are you?
0:51:32 > 0:51:33- Excellent.- As always.

0:51:53 > 0:51:56£28 in, at the far chair there at 28.
0:51:56 > 0:52:00At 30, I'm looking for now. At £28, then...
0:52:00 > 0:52:02Liking it. £28 is plus £10.
0:52:02 > 0:52:05Thank you very much, Tom. Good pick.
0:52:05 > 0:52:06Now, the telescope.
0:52:06 > 0:52:12Lot 171 is the spotter four-draw telescope by JH Steward of London.

0:52:49 > 0:52:51Five I'm looking for elsewhere. Two if you lie.
0:52:51 > 0:52:55At £40 - bid is on the internet, then, at 40.
0:52:56 > 0:52:59£40. There is a very happy gillie somewhere.
0:52:59 > 0:53:03That is minus £10, which means you have nothing at the moment.
0:53:03 > 0:53:09Lot 172 is the 19th-century brass and turned-wood salmon gaff.
0:53:09 > 0:53:13The salmon gaff there. Nice example. Commission bid here at £55.
0:53:13 > 0:53:1560 do I see?
0:53:16 > 0:53:1960, five, 70, five, 80?
0:53:19 > 0:53:24At £75. Back with me at 75. 80 at all? Quite sure, sir?
0:53:24 > 0:53:29At £75 with me, then, all done at 75.
0:53:29 > 0:53:31It's not so far off, I have to say, minus £10.
0:53:31 > 0:53:35We've gone plus £10, minus £10, minus £10.
0:53:35 > 0:53:37Overall, you're minus £10.
0:53:37 > 0:53:40This is incredibly bad luck. You're on the cusp of everything.
0:53:40 > 0:53:43- So, the cribbage board, then? - Got to go for it.
0:53:43 > 0:53:47Got to go for it, haven't you? It's £20. Everything to play for.
0:53:47 > 0:53:49Here comes the cribbage board from heaven.
0:53:49 > 0:53:54Lot 175 is the England's Glory cribbage board.

0:54:02 > 0:54:05You quite sure, then, at £5 only?
0:54:05 > 0:54:08At five, and selling.
0:54:10 > 0:54:13Minus 25. Now listen, chaps, that could be a winning score.
0:54:13 > 0:54:16Don't say a word to the Blue team. Mum is the word.
0:54:16 > 0:54:19No point in ruining their day.
0:54:19 > 0:54:21We might tempt them into an even bigger loss.
0:54:26 > 0:54:28- How you feeling?- Nervous.
0:54:28 > 0:54:32- What about you, Lise? - Yeah, nervous, I think.
0:54:32 > 0:54:35First up are the lacquer dishes. Here they come.

0:54:50 > 0:54:54At £10, open bid. 12 at all? It's a pair.

0:54:58 > 0:55:02- Oh, dear. £10, that's not good. - His guide price was a lot more.
0:55:02 > 0:55:04£10 is minus 30.

0:55:07 > 0:55:09Blue-and-white plate. Qianlong Dynasty.
0:55:09 > 0:55:13It is damaged, but what will I say for that, £30?
0:55:14 > 0:55:1930? 20? Ten?
0:55:19 > 0:55:20- Five?- Oh, dear.

0:55:31 > 0:55:33Ten? Ten - let's do it the easy way.
0:55:33 > 0:55:37- At £10, then.- 10.25!
0:55:37 > 0:55:41£10 only. Quite sure, then?
0:55:41 > 0:55:42At ten.
0:55:42 > 0:55:46Disappointing, isn't it? Sorry, team.
0:55:46 > 0:55:49That's £10, then. Now the fish slice.
0:55:49 > 0:55:55The Exeter silver fish slice from George Turner. Circa 1830.
0:55:55 > 0:56:01Interest here with me at 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130...
0:56:01 > 0:56:04130, I have. 140 now?
0:56:04 > 0:56:06- At £130...- Keep going.

0:56:12 > 0:56:15140 now? £130, then.
0:56:16 > 0:56:23130 is 70 - minus 85. Minus 85 plus 30 is 115. Minus 115.
0:56:23 > 0:56:26What are we going to do about the match case?
0:56:26 > 0:56:28I think we're going to have to go with Sylvia.
0:56:28 > 0:56:31- I think we bring it on... - Take it on the chin.
0:56:31 > 0:56:35- Take it on. Walk tall. - Yeah. We trust it.
0:56:35 > 0:56:38Ready? Here it comes.
0:56:38 > 0:56:42The silver match case, engraved "Sylvia".
0:56:42 > 0:56:44Interest here with me at ten.
0:56:44 > 0:56:4812, 15. At £15, I have. 18 now?
0:56:48 > 0:56:51At £15. 18 at all?
0:56:51 > 0:56:55- 18, 20, 22, 25, 28... - Well done, Charles.
0:56:55 > 0:56:57- We've made a small profit.- 28 now?
0:56:57 > 0:57:01£25 here, £25.
0:57:01 > 0:57:05£25. Well done, Charles. That's a £5 profit.
0:57:05 > 0:57:09- I'm sorry, team. - Overall, you are minus 110.
0:57:09 > 0:57:10Don't say a word to the Reds.
0:57:15 > 0:57:17Dear, oh, dear, oh, dear.
0:57:17 > 0:57:20Some days it's good days, and some days it's bad days.
0:57:20 > 0:57:24For some of us around here, today's a particularly bad day.
0:57:24 > 0:57:26Nobody is going home with profits.
0:57:26 > 0:57:28One team, however, is going home with a massive loss,
0:57:28 > 0:57:30and that team are the Blues.
0:57:30 > 0:57:36I'm really sorry about this. Minus £110 is not so hot.
0:57:36 > 0:57:38- No.- No.- No.
0:57:38 > 0:57:42It's all down to the fish slice - we're off fish slices, aren't we?
0:57:42 > 0:57:44- And fish.- And fish all round.
0:57:44 > 0:57:48You've been brilliant about it, I have to say. I shan't ask you to sing again, don't worry.
0:57:48 > 0:57:52- Have you had a good time? - Yes, thank you.
0:57:52 > 0:57:53We've loved having you on the show.
0:57:53 > 0:57:58The victors today, who win by only losing £25, are the brothers.
0:57:58 > 0:58:00Well done, Tom. Well done, Paddy.
0:58:00 > 0:58:01Happy about that?
0:58:01 > 0:58:05It didn't really feel as if it ought to come out like that for you today.
0:58:05 > 0:58:07You started off with a £10 profit.
0:58:07 > 0:58:10Then you had these silly little £10 losses that could have
0:58:10 > 0:58:13easily gone the other way. That crib board wasn't right either.
0:58:13 > 0:58:15All round, I'd say it's bad luck.
0:58:15 > 0:58:18- I feel you should have gone home with some cash.- Yeah, well...
0:58:18 > 0:58:20But it's the next best thing to win. Congratulations.
0:58:20 > 0:58:22It's been such fun,
0:58:22 > 0:58:26join us soon for some more bargain hunting. Yes? Yes!
