Episode 19 Bargain Hunt

Today, we're at the world's oldest steam-engine workshop.

So let's go loco.

Let's go bargain hunting.

Welcome to the Jaguar Antiques and Collectors Fair,

which is being held today in the Roundhouse in the centre of Derby.

This building was constructed in 1839

for the repair and servicing of locomotives.

Today, though, it's being used as a platform for dealers

to show off their wares.

Coming up, Thomas tries to stick it to the Reds.

-You've never bought it, have you?

-I made an executive decision.

THEY LAUGH

-HE CHUCKLES

-While the Blues go nutty.

-Aw!

-It's a nutcracker soldier.

And will do almost anything to get the price down.

As well as raising a few eyebrows at auction.

-Yes!

-£30.

'Woo-hoo. Let's meet today's teams. What fun.'

Today we're testing the brotherly-sisterly bonded bit,

because for the Reds, we have Rick and Tim, brothers,

and for the Blues, we have sisters Sam and Cat.

-Hello, everyone.

-ALL: Hello.

Rick, I understand you used to be a maths teacher.

I taught for 33 years, Tim.

And 23 of those was as head of a maths department.

You'll be able to do the adding up.

I'd like to think so.

It's all about making a bit of profit,

so if the figures add up, then we'll be happy people.

Tim, would you say you are similar to your brother?

I think we are similar, inasmuch that I think

we are both challenged with the hairline.

LAUGHTER

-We both wear glasses.

-Yes.

We went to the same school for a period of time.

Same taste in shirts.

Same taste in shirts. And we were both teachers.

-Are you a maths teacher, too?

-Not a maths teacher.

I taught economics

and was head of sixth form at a school in Leicestershire.

You have also got a lot of interesting antiques.

You go to the fairs and the flea markets.

-We do watch Bargain Hunt, of course.

-Yes!

-Steady.

-That's the end of the programme.

-Just practising.

You've been in training.

This is going to be a phenomenal contest today.

I should think these girls are absolutely quaking.

-Are you quaking?

-Very much so.

-I can feel the quake.

You two are twins, yes?

So you could say that you are like two peas out of a pod.

You could say that. We are very similar.

We do a lot of things together.

We even went on a TV dating show in an attempt to get a date together.

-What happened?

-We failed miserably. We came away without a date.

But we hope we'll be more successful in Bargain Hunt.

Sam, what are you studying?

I'm studying environmental governance,

a Masters at the University of Manchester.

Cat, what are you studying, baby?

Um, I'm studying marketing management at the University of Central Lancashire.

I am doing a PhD in a couple of months in connecting communities

through youth-led radio.

Tell me, girls, what is your strategy?

You're clearly well qualified in lots of departments.

-We're going to try flirting today.

-Are you?

That's our top strategy.

-So you'll stoop that low? You'll lie...

-Pulling out all stops.

-Yes, well, there we go, chaps.

-We're up against it here!

-I think you definitely are.

Anyway, now the money moment. £300 apiece. You know the rules.

Your experts await and off you go and very, very good luck.

With the help of an expert, each team gets £300 to buy three items.

But time is of the essence.

They only have one hour to secure the deals.

Easing into the job for the Red team is expert Thomas Plant.

While David Harper prepares for the challenge ahead with the Blues.

The tip is we've got to be very decisive.

What are we going to be looking for?

We're looking for quite a few things.

It could be teddy bears. Ugly ornaments.

Cabbage patch dolls.

-And the other tip - I don't want any faffing.

-No, no, no.

-No faffing.

So if we see something we like, we're going to go for it.

Just think nursery room. That's our theme, I think.

Nursery room?! Oh, my goodness me. Right. 60 minutes starts now.

BOTH: OK.

It looks like David will have to tune in to his feminine side with these girls.

-Teddy bears galore. Look at them all.

-Oh, my lord.

-I love the glasses.

-Same here.

They're so cute. How much are these ones?

Tell me what you really like about them, girls.

-It looks like a little old gentleman.

-And a little old lady, as well. So cute.

-Not a fantastic amount of age.

-Oh, dear.

What we would look for in a really valuable teddy bear would be

the wear, the way they are put on, a bump on the back,

a pin in their ear, a long snout, stitching on the tummy.

Loads of little signs that tell you it's an early bear. Something like a Steiff.

Having taken into consideration what you said, maybe these are not the ones for us.

Not a long enough snout, I don't think.

While the girls attempt to hunt down a perfect bear,

Tom is still talking strategy.

We are going to a sale where there is going to be predominantly

silver and jewellery and small items, so I suggest we look for those.

Remember that a lot of silver at auction gets bought for scrap,

so it's got to be pretty amazing.

and it does not take them long to sniff out something themselves

with this silver snuff box.

It's quite late in date.

What's interesting is you've got the duty mark, for the Coronation.

-OK.

-What about the monogram?

-Would that detract from its value?

-A little bit.

But, you know, there are a lot of AWs in this world!

-I can't think of any right now.

-It is heavy.

It is solid sterling silver.

A little thing, we call that a thick gauge. A heavy gauge of silver.

-Nice decoration on that lip.

-Silver gilt.

-I think we ought to put a bid in for that.

-OK, it's 85.

I think the 85 is far too much.

OK, Tim, Rick, whichever,

it's over to you to try and beat that price down.

The obvious question is what's your best price you can come out with?

The very best, and you can't knock a pound off that, 60 quid.

The gentleman has come down very kindly to 60.

-Which I think is a reasonable price.

-So at 85,

-if you come down to 60.

-That is his final price.

-He doesn't want to go lower than that.

-25% off.

-That's not bad.

-25%.

-But it is particularly good quality.

The hinge is lovely. That lovely hinge in there. This is silver gilt.

-I did tell you - no faffage.

-No faffage.

Do want to go with it, for AW?

-I would go with it.

-We'll do it.

-You want to go with it?

-£60.

-That's a very fast decision.

Wonderful.

Well done, boys. And no faffing on your first buy.

The twins, on the other hand, have found a right pair.

-This one. He's ugly and very cute.

-And this one, as well. I love these.

I prefer this one, it's got more of a cute face.

-OK. And it's a pair. Just like you two.

-That's me and that's Cat.

-Just throwing this out there, are they bookends by chance?

-No, they're not.

-BOTH: Oh!

-Liu Hai. Never heard of Liu Hai?

-No.

He's the Chinese god of wealth. But there is an interesting story.

Can you see what he's holding? This is why you two will love him.

-An animal of some sort.

-A hedgehog?

No. A beetle.

It's a three-legged toad.

-A three-legged toad!

-Yes, it's a three-legged toad.

Liu Hai, the god of wealth, will not travel anywhere

without his pet and his very close companion, the three-legged toad.

That is so cute.

And this one, I don't recognise the character

-but she's a seller of some sort.

-She?!

-I think it's a she.

-I like them.

-£80 for the pair?

-£80 for the pair.

Probably circa 1900, late 19th, early 20th century.

Standard fare, but well carved and I just love them.

-I do think they're very nice.

-I would not be happy paying £80 for them.

Come this way.

-This is the gentleman here.

-I rather like these two items.

-Gorgeous, much like ourselves.

-No, like him!

-Sorry, like you, sir.

-I got confused. DEALER:

-Slightly balding. Yeah.

Yeah! £80 for the pair.

We were thinking £50 and a kiss.

DAVID GASPS

-Um.

-And a kiss and a hug and a cuddle.

-From both of us.

-DAVID:

-And me(!)

The lowest I can do...

-Is 60.

-..is 70.

£65.50?

£65.75.

Fluttering eyelashes and a cheeky smile will get you everywhere.

-68.

-We'll shake hands on that one, shall we?

That's brilliant.

-Thank you so much.

-Cheers.

-Thank you, sir.

-Thank you so much.

See? I told you so.

Let's check to see if the Reds are staying on track.

-That's not cut glass with it?

-That is cut glass.

It might be far too expensive. Yes, it is.

-Ah!

-It's a nutcracker soldier.

-Does it actually crack the nuts in its mouth?

-Oh, dear.

-Wow!

He certainly does have character, doesn't he?

-He definitely does.

-DEALER: He's lovely.

-You want to pop a nut in there.

-He's gorgeous. He's got hair like us, as well.

-What a great Christmas decoration.

-Exactly!

Fantastic for Christmas. Sadly, it's nowhere near Christmas.

It's very new. In my world, he's very new. 20 years.

-He's cute.

-He is cute.

He's got a little drum. Do you think he's going to make money at auction?

-I think so.

-He has potential to make money.

18 at the moment. We're going to try and get the price down.

-I'm going to try and half that.

-Will you do your special flutter?

-We'll try.

-Really?

-The first time you tried, it didn't really work.

-He was married.

-This is a very different.

-Are you married?

-Married?

-No.

-You're not married.

-That can be quite useful.

-Are you ready?

-A double flutter?

-Yes.

-Fluttering in stereo?

-Yeah.

-OK.

-Are you ready, girls?

-Yes. Let's try our very best.

-Do a better job.

-OK.

-We'll try.

Three, two, one, go.

Hey, gorgeous, are you all right?

We'd very much like this soldier here.

At the moment, we notice £18.

That surely can't be correct. Do you think you might have had a mistake there?

That's not really a compliment.

But, as you're so delightfully gorgeous

we'll accept the mistake

and perhaps you could tell us what the real price is.

DEALER: Yeah, if I could get a word in!

I would like to offer it you at £14.

-£14, sir? How about nine?

-How about nine and a kiss?

-DEALER: It's £9!

-Thank you, sir, that's brilliant.

LAUGHTER

Can I have a kiss, sir?

The girls' second buy and sealed with a kiss, sir.

-Thank you, sir, that's brilliant.

-Thank you.

Past the halfway mark

and it looks like the Reds are getting the short end of the stick.

You know what this is? It's an umbrella.

Then this retracts for when you have your umbrella out.

What every gentleman needs.

It has got this really ghastly end to it.

I don't like that at all.

But it's unusual, isn't it?

It is unusual, but I don't think it it's something we ought to be buying.

-No.

-Really?

-No.

-Really?

-Ah.

-I don't think there's going to be much profit.

How much is the umbrella?

-DEALER:

-£65.

I think that's pretty special.

-Do you?

-I do, I do, I do.

I don't want to tell you what to do.

But I think it's pretty good. I think it's collectable.

That retracts into there, so you put that in your pocket.

But to be really unlucky, just to make sure that we do lose,

I'll just check the actual canopy.

You're chancing your luck putting up that brolly.

That, as a canopy, is a thing of majesty.

-Is there going to be any profit in this?

-I have not seen one.

I think it's very desirable.

-There are huge collectors for walking canes.

-See what you can do.

-See if you can get it for £40.

-Stay there.

-Right.

I was looking at that and thinking that's not going to make any money.

Thomas, what are you doing?

I think he's bought it.

You can't make deals behind their back!

You've never bought it, have you?

I made an executive decision.

LAUGHTER

Thank you, Thomas.

-Executive decision.

-£30?

-I offered 45. "Get off," he said.

-What?!

He said 60 and I said halfway at 55.

55!

-Now, I think...

-Well done, Thomas.

-No, no.

-Thomas,

I'm going to hold you to task on this.

OK, I bullied them into one thing.

They are not keen on it at all, but I've never seen one.

So the umbrella walking stick is my little gift to them.

Really, Thomas. We'll see when we get to auction.

On the Blue side, it looks like Cat's digging in her claws.

-You've chosen an item. Cat's chosen item.

-I've definitely chosen an item.

-And I haven't.

Let's go find a teddy bear.

This is like the best job in the world for me.

Teddy bears galore, girls. Teddy bears galore.

Ooh! I like the one with one eye!

I love the one with one eye.

-I love the one with one eye.

-So do I, but this is my choice of purchase this time.

Do you love the one with one eye?

-I like the one with one eye.

-She doesn't like him, because I found him.

I want to find something myself. This is so frustrating. I like this one here.

-OK. Bring him out.

-He's got a bit of a bald patch.

-But haven't we all?

-What's wrong with that?!

-Yes, we heard. Bald is good.

-Look.

-The hump on the back!

-That is a good indicator.

-Yeah.

Shall I tell you the things to look out for on a really good teddy bear?

-Shall I tell you things?

-Yes, you tell me.

-A long snout, which it's got.

-A hump on the back.

-Yes.

-And it's good if they have a tag in the ear,

which this one doesn't have, actually.

Another few things are his limbs, nice and long.

Yeah.

-Yes, it's got gorgeous limbs.

-And the fur.

It's good that he's got bald patches,

-because, remember girls, bald is good. Remember that?

-Yeah.

Another thing, you will often see hand stitching,

that's where they were stuffed from the front.

-We should take him now.

-Look around a little bit longer. You may see another one you like.

This is my item. It's not fair! Tell her.

I'm not saying anything. I'm a bit scared at the moment.

Can we leave him and have a little run round? Then we can come back.

We can hide him behind other teddy bears.

We'll leave him for two minutes. If anyone takes him, I will be heartbroken.

Shall we ask the lady to put him on hold?

Can you do that, is that OK? BOTH: Thank you so much.

What can I say? It's a...

# Bare necessity # Ha.

But Rick and Tim now have to decide their own strategy.

So it's brooch-cum-pendant

and these are marcasites here, inset.

And this is 925.

It is silver, solid silver. Do you want to offer, Rick?

You'd prefer to have a look round.

We've got 15 minutes left,

so we ought to use that time as best as we possibly can.

You can always come back. You've got ten minutes.

-You've got ten minutes.

-Give ourselves ten minutes.

-You've got ten minutes.

-Ten minutes, and we'll come back.

-Come back.

-OK, Thomas.

That's all very well, but leaving decisions to the last minute is a very risky business.

Lovely. 70, yeah. And that's Max.

-Do you want a bag?

-And can have consequences.

Get prepared for horrifying news.

A lady was hovering and said to the owner, "If they don't have him,

"I want him."

So she must have heard us talking about him,

getting all excited, talking about stitching on the tummy.

The stitching on the back, his snout, his gangly arms, his bald patches.

-She hasn't taken him?

-Oh. I'm so responsible.

I'm absolutely devastated. I so wanted him and you wouldn't let me have him.

I thought we could look for another.

I think I'm going to cry. My eyes are welling up.

-OK, we'll just have to get on with it.

-Sorry. You're in trouble.

-You'll be in trouble later.

-Never mind, girls.

There's still poor old One-Eye.

Just minutes left and it's good to see the boys are keeping an eye on the time.

The Omega in the middle with the dark-coloured face.

-What you're buying there is a name.

-Of course.

-And you're buying a look.

If I was looking at both of these,

I would be going for the Art Deco one over the Omega,

-in my honest opinion.

-Better price.

-Looks better.

-It looks a lot better.

-Which one then, Rick?

-My feelings are we go for the Omega.

-OK, do Omega for a 100?

I'd let you have it for 105. 105. I'm making that on it.

-What do you think, yeah?

-Go for it.

-Can I shake on that?

Thanks a lot.

Before we go any further, I wear an Omega.

Show off!

The wristwatch is the final item for the Reds. But what about the Blues?

-110.

-Will they or won't they haggle for old One-Eye?

-Oh, it's still here!

-Yay!

-Talk to me.

-I love him. And look, he's got... Ooh!

He has got no eyes.

He's very fragile and he needs some loving

-and I think we could give him some.

-How much is he?

-Ooh!

-This is a crucial decider.

-£50! That's a bargain.

-Don't say that.

The with potentially no eyes, what's the best deal you can do on that one?

Um, I'll do 40.

BOTH: 40!

Not even 35, seeing as the heartbreak we experienced with the last bear?

-Go on, then.

-35! Is that OK?

-That's fine.

-BOTH: Thank you so much.

He's gorgeous!

WHISTLE SOUNDS

This whistle-stop tour of antiques is now over.

It's now time to sell, and we've travelled a great distance,

all of four miles, from the centre of Derby to

the village of Etwall and Hanson's Auctioneers.

Before we find out how well the items sell,

let's have a reminder of what the red team bought.

Brothers Rick and Tim wanted quality items

and with no faffing, made a deal with on this and Elizabeth II silver snuff box.

£60 paid.

Thomas made sure the boys made off

with this umbrella walking stick at £55.

On his head be it!

Finally, they settled on name over design,

with an Omega stainless-steel wristwatch, which cost them £105.

Now, Rick, Tim, you spent £220. You gave £180 to the Planter.

What did you buy, Thomas?

BROTHERS: Oh!

A flour dredger, pepperette, or pepper. It's silver,

-it's Victorian.

-It's very decorative, yes.

It's a piece of novelty silver, which is extremely collectable.

-Has it got a hallmark, Thomas?

-Naturally there is a hallmark.

It is sterling, solid silver. It's Victorian.

I paid a handsome price for that.

A handsome price, which would be?

-£50.

-£50.

-That looks good.

Are we going to make some money out of this?

I think there is at least £20 of profit.

You think it's a £50-£80 estimate?

-In your sale room, what would you put it at?

-80-120.

It's lovely. Very nice.

Well, you've got two satisfied customers.

But will Thomas' customers believe in his prediction

and decide to go with it?

Before we find out, let's remind ourselves what the blue team bought with their £300.

Our bubbly twins were drawn in by this pair of Chinese boxwood carvings

and managed to sweet-talk the stallholder down to £68.

Then they went crackers over a toy-soldier nutcracker

and used their charms again to squeeze it down to half price.

A measly £9 paid.

And they quenched their quest for something cuddly,

paying £35 for old One-Eye.

Let's hope they find some sentimental types over at the auction.

-Now, Cat.

-Yes.

-Sam. What have you done to your hair, girls? What's going on?

-We've got lovely teddy-bear ears on today.

-Have you?

-Yes.

-I think that's going to help the sale of your teddy bear a lot.

-Thank you!

You spent £112 and you gave a wodge of dosh over to David.

In fact, you gave him £188.

I do hope that David Harper has blown the lot.

-Shall we have a little look at it?

-Go on, reveal.

-Cuddly, cute, sweet.

-Oh!

-Wow. Elephants are my favourite animals.

No way! Ah. Tim, I didn't know that!

Is it just ornamental, or does it have a purpose?

-No, it has a purpose.

-Can we try guess what the purpose is?

Please do and guess his age.

Is he an Indian elephant or an African elephant?

-It's dependent upon the size of ears.

-The number of toes.

I'd say it was an African elephant.

I think it's an Indian one. The African has a much bigger ears.

I think that's Indian. What's it made from?

-Um...

-Tin.

-Lead?

-No. Almost.

-Aluminium?

-No. Very close. Silver.

-That's a lot better.

-They're doing well, Tim.

-You've obviously taught them a lot!

-Everything I know!

-Silver hallmark.

-Silver hallmark, and it's 1907.

-TWINS: It's got age.

-Good age, yes.

-It's a very cute item, actually.

-What do we think we put in there?

-In there?

-Yeah. What's it for?

-Oh, pins!

-Yeah! Wow!

-Yes, well done.

-It's cute, it's an animal.

-How much did you pay for it?

-Oh, gosh.

I had £188 left and I said, "That's everything I've got.

"I will give you everything for that."

How much do you think it would make, that's the question?

-It is.

-I've seen them do 250. I've seen the make 100.

It's definitely a gamble. What will the girls do?

We'll hear their decision later,

but for now let's get cracking with the selling.

Now, Timbo, Ricardo, how are you feeling?

-We are on the edge here.

-We certainly are.

Anyway, first lot up is your novelty, silver, wee pillbox.

Silver snuff box, engine-turned, with a wonderful hinge.

-Hallmarked Birmingham.

-Go, Hanson.

-And I'm bid £45.

-45!

50 I'll take now, come on.

At £45, 55, 60. I'm out. Come on, now.

-Go on!

-60, I'll take five. Come on. One more do I see?

All out at £60.

Going, going.

Gone. It's gone at £60. It's wiped its face.

We can't complain about that.

No profit, no loss, no pain, no gain. Here we go.

Now, this walking stick.

Umbrella walking stick. There it is, very stylish.

I'm only bid here £35.

-Agh!

-45, 50, I'm out.

50. I'll take five. It's novel. 5, 60. 5, 70.

-We're in.

-5. 80.

-You're in profit, this is what I like to see.

Just look at him go. Go, Hanson.

-5. 90.

-5.

-Come on!

-One more for the road, sir.

-He's kicking that ball down the right wing.

-I'll take one more.

-Go on!

-5.

-100. No more. One more do I see? Going once.

100.

ALL: Yes! LAUGHTER

105. 110.

The wife says no, I believe. 105, we'll sell it at 105.

-Fair warning. I'll take 110. Yes.

-Well done.

That's a cool 50 smackers, look at that. Plus 50 at a stroke.

The Omega stainless-steel waterproof wristwatch.

A wonderful thing. I'll start this Omega at £70.

5. 85. 95.

-£100 here. 105.

-Yes!

I'm out. Come on, 105 now. Do I see 110?

-Go, Hanson.

-It's a wonderful watch.

It's got the name. I will take 110.

Do I see one more? Come on.

Going, going, gone.

And he's done it. 105. Another wiped face. That's OK, isn't it?

Very pleased about that, aren't you? So you've preserved your plus 50.

Are you going to risk any of that £50 substantial profit on the dredger?

We said if we were more than £20 up, we wouldn't take it,

but it does seem a nice...

I think it's a nice item, he's got it at a good price.

-We're here to enjoy ourselves, we'll go for it.

-Decision's made.

Risking all. I love it. You're having a punt and here it comes.

There we are. It's a wonderful Victorian silver pepper dredger.

I'm bid 55. I'll take for it now, please, 60.

-One for the road.

-We're in profit.

-Come on.

It's a lovely, novel... 60 I've got.

60. I'll take five now. Come on. All out.

-I feel vindicated.

-One more do I see? Going at £60.

Well done, Charles. That's plus £10, I'm not fussed about that, that's really good.

-You are plus 60.

-Super.

-Could that be a winning score, Tim?

Eh, you've been watching too much of this programme, Tim. Two Tims, you know.

-What a great name!

-Oh, I know. Great name.

-You're twins. You are like Tweedledee and Tweedledum.

-A little.

-Those boys are bit like Tweedledee and Tweedledum.

-They are! I know.

-And they're not twins.

-No, no.

-Very similar.

-They haven't that special bond like you have.

Most certainly not.

They also don't have teddy-bear ears on the top of their heads.

-These are very special.

-No-one can compete with these.

-They are special.

Just like you - very, very special.

And David. We mustn't leave David out.

-My mother says I'm special.

-Of course you are.

-Your mother's always right.

-She's always right.

First up is your wooden carvings and here they come, my sweets.

A fine pair of Chinese boxwood carvings. I'm only bid here...nothing.

SHE GASPS

Start me off. Do I see £15? £15 I'm bid. 18, 20.

5. 30. 35.

40.

-Are you sure, sir?

-This is no money!

£25 I'm bid. Do I see 40? Come on. I look for 40. 40. 5.

I'm not happy about this.

And we sell at £40.

-£40!

-Aw. That's a loss.

That is minus 28.

-You were quite right to be worried about those.

-We were.

-You were right.

-I had no part to play in the choosing of those items.

-Good.

You've made that perfectly clear.

Look at that. There we are. His jaw opens.

LAUGHTER

They're laughing at him! And I'm bid nothing. Do I see £10?

He's a wonderful thing. I'm bid £10. I'll take 12. Come on!

12, 15. 18.

-20. 5.

-They love him!

5, 30.

£25 I'm bid.

-Come on!

-He wants a new home. We don't see many of these.

-You certainly don't.

-LAUGHTER

I'll take one more. Do I see...? 30. 35.

Look at me. I'll take 2 it helps you.

32. 35. You can't leave it now, sir.

Going at £32.

We sell at £32,

-to a lady. Fair warning. Yours.

-That is plus £23.

You were minus 28, you're only minus £5. We're on a roll here.

And teddy is coming.

A very nice early 20th-century straw-filled teddy bear.

There he is, with a hump back. He lacks his left eye.

-Aw!

-You can't resist, can you?

His other eye is hanging off, so be careful. There he is.

That will not sell it.

20. I will take 5 now. Just look at him, he's a really good bear. 5. 30.

5, madam, in the hat.

I love your hat. One more. 35. 40? Do I see 40 now? Are you bidding? No.

£35 all done. Fair warning at £35.

-He's gone. £35, he's wiped his face.

-That's all right.

It's not, really, because you're minus £5, which is a complete bore, really.

That's a very difficult situation to be in, isn't it?

We don't have an awful lot of time.

-We'll go for the elephant.

-It's a big risk, girls.

-Are you sure you want to do this?

-Yeah, just for kicks.

-We're positive.

-Are we going?

-We are going with it.

-We're going with the elephant and it's going to be sold right now.

-Come on.

It's a very nice Edwardian, novel pin cushion and I'm bid 70.

I'll take 5 now. 5, 80, 5.

95. 100, 110. I'm out.

One more do I see? At £110.

115. 120.

Let's see one more bid surely. I'll take 125, or we go once.

We go twice. And we sell to you, sir.

ALL: Oh!

-Girls, I'm so sorry.

-BOTH: Don't worry.

-Nellie certainly packed up her trunk.

-She did!

And off she went to the circus.

-And she never came back.

-I think I might have to go.

Let's see. You're minus £5.

The heffalump sold for minus 68,

-which means, overall, you're minus 73.

-BOTH: OK.

-Which is not so bad, is it?

-Not so bad, not so good either.

Unfortunately, it wasn't the Blues' day.

A huge difference between them, and the Reds'

profit of £60 therefore have today's winning score.

Coming up, what will our next two teams make a option, I wonder?

We'll see in a bit.

Now, we're moving on, somewhere glorious, actually,

we're going to Bath. What could be nicer than that?

Originally built as a Wattel at the end of the 18th century,

this impressive Georgian building was taken over by the Holburne Museum in 1916.

This museum has an individual's collection at its heart -

its founder, Sir Thomas William Holburne.

Its treasures were assembled simply for his personal pleasure,

and it's going to be my pleasure today to show you some of the finest examples.

Since its foundation, the Holburne has attracted numerous further gifts and bequests,

but the range and quality of Sir William's collection

still shapes the character of the museum today. Marvellous.

The son of a minor aristocratic family that settled in Bath in

the early years of the 19th century, Sir William collected voraciously

and acquired the reputation as a collector of distinction.

And nowhere is his collection more distinguished than in

the field of Italian maiolica.

The centrepiece of his collection, and some would say the most

important piece, is this enormous bowl,

which dates from 1495.

So this thing is over 600 years old.

The joy of maiolica is that it's tin glazed earthenware,

the colours are preserved under a lead glaze and therefore never fade.

And the story is the well-known one of Diana at her bath.

The myth says that Actaeon accidentally saw her

naked in her bath, and as a result she scattered him with water

and he was transformed into a stag,

and in turn was killed by his own stag hounds.

Back to the Roundhouse in the middle of Derby.

Time to see whether our next set of Reds and Blues can pick wisely

and round up some profit at auction.

Oh, I love that!

It's a risk, you would be taking a risk.

We are making a decision with our hearts and not our heads.

We could lose everything, we could lose £100.

You could so easily lose the £100 but isn't that exciting?

-Are you a gambler?

-No!

-Yes! You've got to be a gambler to make money.

They have 60 minutes to do so. No time for hanging about.

Let's meet them.

Today on the show, for the Reds, we have friends and workmates.

Deborah and Naomi, very nice to see you.

-Hello.

-Hi, Tim.

-For the Blues, we have Sally and another Naomi!

-Hello, Naomi. Hello, Sally.

-Hello.

-Hello.

-Mother and daughter,

how lovely. Now, Deborah, where do you two work?

We both work for the British Red Cross.

-It says here you're a first responder.

-I am.

-What does that mean?

Sounds like an amplifier in a piece of kit!

I probably could, with my American lungs, I could shout out

when there's an emergency.

In the village I live in, which is very small and very remote,

it could take a bit longer for an ambulance to get to us,

so there's a small band of us that have little back-packs

with defibrillators, oxygen, things like that.

Just a little bit of Americano in there, not a heck of a lot

-but still a little bit.

-Thank you! Usually people say, "You're so American still!"

I'm like, "Not if you have me next to a regular American."

Naomi, you have a lot of fun in your office, don't you?

-Yes.

-Tell us about your wild swimming parties.

I'm a founding member of SAS - Sheffield Adventure Swimmers

and we like to drive out to the Peak District and jump in our nearest river or lake.

We wear wet suits, or the brave among us wear swimsuits.

If ever you'd like to come and join us, Tim...

So you like getting in any old kind of pond water, or...

No, it's got to be, you know, a nice river, good, fresh water.

A few days ago, I was swimming in the River Derwent, which runs through Chatsworth.

Really? So a whole flotilla of you going up the River Derwent?

-Yes, yes!

-When you do this in the morning, what do the old moo-cows think?

They're having a nice old chew on the bank

and suddenly, looking like seals in your rubber suits...

Like seals, Tim? I think we look a bit more glamorous than that!

So, you girls, what are your tactics going to be today?

Haggle hard. Debs is a great haggler.

-She's got that American charm.

-Some people call it "wearing people down!"

-You're good at that though, are you?

-Yeah.

And we want to buy nice things that we would want to have.

-On the basis that your lovely taste that you have yourself will be reflected.

-We've got amazing taste!

-Yeah, that's it.

-Yeah!

-And mo... And modesty...

-That top quality!

-Well, good luck. We're going to have fun, I tell you.

-Great. How are you both?

-Good, thank you.

-We're really good, thank you.

Seems to me you've got some serious competition over here but your love of antiques runs in your family?

My dad was an antiques dealer.

Everything in our house was for sale when we were young.

Everything had a price ticket on!

So I got into going to auctions and things,

and Naomi came along, obviously did the same with my children!

Oh, brilliant. But you've got quite an eye for design, haven't you, Sal?

Mainly textiles, curtains, the carpets, more interior design.

-Interior design. Is that good fun?

-Brilliant, lovely.

-Naomi, what do you do?

-I'm a restaurant manager, it's an Italian,

it's quite a family-based restaurant which is good

because it means we get lots of nice families in and parties, so it's good like that.

It says here that you're a bit of a heroine.

-Well...they do say that.

-Don't be modest, tell us about it.

Well, I worked as an air hostess. We were just about to take off,

everything was all fine, we'd done our checks. Next thing I know,

this man's shouting, "Come here, come here! I need some help!"

-I went over there.

-It's a crisis.

-His son was choking on a boiled sweet.

So I was like, "What do I do? What do I do?"

I ended up having to do the Heimlich manoeuvre on him.

As I looked round, after it had all gone, the whole of the plane was silent,

just staring at me.

-The boy was absolutely fine.

-You saved the boy's life.

He slept the whole way, completely unfazed by the whole thing.

-Did they thank you?

-They thanked me, yes, which was really nice,

and the captain thanked me as well, which was very nice.

Anyway, it's a lovely story. Let's hope we don't have an incident like that anywhere today

because we are very well-qualified today on this programme,

if we have any sort of emergency.

-Just goes to show why you need to learn first aid!

-It certainly does.

Anyway, we've got the £300, the money moment, £300,

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

And very, very, very good luck.

I never liked boiled sweets, me.

-You're North American, aren't you?

-Yes, I am.

-So does that make you uber-competitive?

-Yes!

-Really? Is that right?

-In everything that she does.

My tactic is to find an old wooden trunk with an undiscovered Faberge egg inside.

-What do you think of the chance here?

-Dream on!

Dream on.

-Are we going to absolutely beat eggs with a stick?

-Oh, yeah!

OK, three, two, one! One hour now, go!

All this egg talk is making me hungry,

but it seems to have whipped the Reds into shape.

They've spotted something already.

I love this beautiful leaf bowl.

-Isn't that beautiful, Debs?

-That is lovely.

-Do you like that?

It looks quite new. Is there any age to that?

It's not new at all.

No, it's not new at all. It's by WMF.

WMF is a manufacturer from Germany, from about the 1900s.

And it stands for "Weimar Metallfabriken".

Something like that.

But it's in the Art Nouveau style, so early part of the 20th century.

Will it matter that it's plated rather than solid silver?

Will that affect it in the auction?

"Woomf" as we call it in the business, WMF,

normally...well, it's always going to be plated.

-What did you like about it?

-I love anything inspired by nature.

I just thought the leaf looked lovely, like it had fallen from a tree onto your table or something.

That's exactly what they tried to incorporate

when they were doing this, the Art Nouveau period.

But Tom, have you seen the price? That dish is £85!

It's quite a strong price for us to pay.

I think we can look at 70 for you.

-70.

-70. How much do you think that's going to fetch at auction?

It's very difficult, because the thing is,

WMF has slightly gone off the boil a little bit.

So, Thomas, what do you think it is worth?

I was more like thinking 50 but that's my opinion.

I'll go to 60 and that gives me a very, very small profit.

Very kind of you, very kind.

Well, I think, as you're being so kind, we're going to take your kindness!

-That's a very nice piece for £60.

-Yes, lovely.

-And I can see some little bonbons in there.

-Let's get our next...

-Second item!

-Let's go.

Bonbons, yes, much nicer than boiled sweets.

Well, the Reds have their first buy

but the Blues aren't wasting any time.

-Tell me why you like that.

-I like the shape of it.

Yeah, it's really unusual, isn't it?

I do actually quite like that.

It is rather nice, isn't it? And why's it doing that?

-It's to go on a boat, isn't it?

-It is, well done!

-Yeah, I'm impressed!

-Where did that come from?

It says, "French boat clock"!

French boat clock. That is a real cool thing.

That's really nice.

So obviously, as the boat is moving around, hopefully the clock will stay in position.

It's got an alarm on it as well.

-1950s.

-1950s.

What do you think it would get at auction?

I think...I think, to be cruel, it might be £20-40 in auction.

So, depending on what we can get it for...

Would you do it for 20?

We're really looking for 35.

-What about 33?

-Yes, you can have it for 33.

-Thank you!

-Yay!

-First purchase! Hey, this is very quick.

-Thank you.

First stall and we're buying. Well done!

Yup, well done indeed. Although I doubt that timepiece

has ever seen a life on the ocean wave.

However, if anyone does make a profit today,

what better place to store wads of cash than in the pretty little purse the Reds have found.

That's quite beautiful, isn't it?

Why do you find it beautiful?

I just love the design on it, it's kind of timeless.

-Where do you think it's from?

-Ooh, France.

-It's probably Indian, actually.

-Oh.

The thing is that birds are really in this season.

-Are they? Are they now?

-And handbags fit everybody.

I think 35 is a bit steep, my honest opinion.

-Think about it.

-Weirdly, you two, you've got plenty of time!

-OK.

-Haven't you?

-Happy with that?

-Happy with that.

-Let's move on.

Well actually, you've hit the 20-minute mark,

so don't get left on the shelf, eh, Blues?

-It's just a shelving unit, yeah?

-Yeah.

-I just love it, it's just really different.

-Yep.

Is it Chinese?

I think it's positively Japanese, as opposed to Chinese.

That little mark there, that little signature,

is a Japanese signature, that's not Chinese script.

And the decoration...

-This raised decoration.

-It's so ornate.

-Yes.

In enamel, with butterflies representing longevity, happiness.

And there's an awful lot going on in Chinese and Japanese pieces.

I like it.

But you do have that little bit of damage.

That would put me off buying it, I think.

It will put people off but I do think it's very, very good.

And this gentleman here, he wants to give us such an unbelievable deal,

we might collapse!

MAN: 295.

-Oh!

-It's too much.

We need all the help we can get.

The absolute best price on it would be 200.

-200.

-Yeah.

-If it was my money, I'd buy it.

-200, it worries me.

I think that's it. We could lose everything, we could lose £100!

You could so easily lose the £100, but what are you going to do?

Are you going to buy something ordinary, Doulton or ordinary silver

and just make a £2, £5 profit?

Or are you going to take something you could lose 100 or make 100?

We're going to go for it.

At the auction, I'll be saying to you two...

Yes, you probably will.

-But we're going to have a good day out.

-Done.

Done? Yuppity doodah! Shake the man's hand and give him some money.

Thank you so much.

Girls, it's nice to see you're up for the challenge.

I think our game plan has gone completely out of the window, to be honest!

-But...

-We never planned to spend £200 on one item!

..24 minutes in, two items and we've still got £67 left?

I think that's brilliant!

If it bombs at the auction, we're going to be in really deep trouble!

Yes, David, it is a long shot

but they may not be the only ones putting all their eggs in one basket.

Time will tell.

Oh! I love that. I tried to get one of these for my dad,

he collects pocket watches.

So this is a travel clock, isn't it?

-Yes.

-That's gorgeous.

-And it's the Goliath size.

-I love...

-So it's a big boy.

-I love that.

What are you thinking, Thomas?

The face has got to be perfect cos they always do crack.

So the whole watch is silver plate. It's in its own travelling leather case here.

Whether that's the original one is something one has to take a view on.

This crown looks like the Rolex crown, to be honest with you.

What's lovely... I'll just put that down. ..is this movement.

-Ohh...

-That is nice. I don't think I've seen that before.

What was your very best on that?

I'll do 140. That's as far as I can go.

MAN: Twist my arm!

MAN: 120!

120! Oh, come on!

-OK then.

-Oh, thank you!

I really want that, I love it!

I'm telling you, we are going to make money on that.

I can feel it in my bones.

Naomi, I don't think you had a choice, really.

With both teams living on the edge, this could get quite painful.

-Now then...

-Is it a musical box?

Ooh no! It's so not musical.

Just imagine that we're on a ship in the 19th century.

You're a pair of sailors - good-looking ones, I've got to admit!

You're feeling a bit peaky, yep? You're under the weather.

I am the ship's surgeon.

I will come to you, to visit you,

and I will say, "You need to lose a bit of blood."

In those days, we thought by letting blood,

we'd relieve pressure on the heart, we'd relieve fever.

So you load it, you would place it onto a vein, over a vein, yeah?

-And you'd shoot it, bang.

-Goodness.

You didn't see what happened there. If you just look, very carefully...

Can you see those blades?

-Weird.

-How much do you think it is?

What's the best on that one?

-WOMAN: 130.

-130.

-Oh...

-We can't do it anyway.

-No. We've spent all our money!

-Amazing. Thanks anyway.

-Thank you!

Something less piercing, perhaps.

But stay sharp, teams, you've only got 20 minutes left.

-That is gorgeous!

-I love that.

-Iridescent.

-Can I have a...

-Oh, I love that.

Oh, dear, hold on. Debs is going gooey again!

Uh-oh, Debs has got that look in her eye!

-Calm down!

-What substance do you think this is?

-I'm thinking mother-of-pearl?

-You're quite right, mother-of-pearl.

-And a silk interior.

-Do you like it?

I do love it, I think it's beautiful.

What's your very best on this?

-25.

-£25.

I think, let's go for it. 25 is a good price.

-I think it is.

-This is our first consensus item!

-We've agreed!

-Absolutely!

-I think we'll have it.

-Great.

-TIM WHISTLES

-That's got those two sorted.

Blues, there are only ten minutes to go, so don't buckle under the pressure!

-Oh, these, definitely.

-OK, let's have a look.

-They're shoe buckles, aren't they?

-Well done, yes.

-Really nice.

-Two of them, is there two?

-They're really different, aren't they?

-Sally, what are you thinking?

I think they're quite nice. You could make them into brooches

or you could actually use them as shoe buckles.

That would be jazzy, wouldn't it? Would you wear them as shoe buckles?

I might do, if I was having a jazzy moment!

-Are they Victorian?

-They look even earlier to me. What do you think?

-Are they 19th century?

-I think so, yes.

-And...and no hallmarks.

-They're not marked so they're sold as white metal.

-When something's not hallmarked...

-Is that a problem?

..put it into auction, it's always described as white metal.

They could be silver but the auctioneer won't put his neck on the line and say they're silver.

What kind of money are they, to us?

I've got 38 on them.

-Would you do them for 25?

-I can't really come down to 25.

-I'll do 28.

-Would you?

-28.

That's leaving me quite a bit, in actual fact, isn't it?

-Yeah.

-It's up to you.

-Yes, I think so.

-Done.

-I think you've got a very good chance of making a good profit on those buckles.

-Fab.

-Do you?

-I really do. Are we done?

-Done.

-Done.

-Done deal.

Thank you very much indeed. Thank you.

That's it, time's up. The teams have spent their money

and taken their chances.

It's now time to go to auction,

and we'VE returned to the village of Etwall, and to Hanson's Auctioneers.

But first let's remind ourselves what the red team bought.

The team fell for the sinuous beauty of this Art Nouveau dish,

but knocked the price down to £60.

Next up was the Goliath fob watch and case.

A time bomb at £120, perchance?

Finally, the Edwardian silver-plated and mother-of-pearl purse,

a gift at just £25. Maybe...

Now, Debs, Naomi, how are you feeling?

-Nervous!

-This is not the nervy moment, this is the easy bit.

-Calm, then!

Calm. £205, you spent. And you gave the boy £95.

-Thomas, what did you spend it on?

-Well, I said I'd buy quality.

And I bought you a very fine little

ladies' or gentlemen's travelling penknife

for one's fruit. And even better, it's by Asprey.

We're not talking regional department store,

we're talking Asprey, the Bond Street retailer.

-This is what everybody wants.

-Tom, you're getting scary.

-Sorry!

-You're frightening them.

-You've sold it to me!

-But it is quality.

-Forget any of the other houses you've heard of.

-These are gold?

-Gold-plated.

-Are you building us up to say you've spent the whole £95?

-No. It's sumptuous, I spent £70...

-That's great.

..on a very fine... Oh, it's got two blades.

Careful you don't cut yourself, Debs.

-That is lovely.

-I think it's beautiful and I would buy that.

How much do you think that's going to make us at auction?

-Good on you, Naomi.

-It's a small profit, I have to say,

of about £10. It could fly but 80-100 is what I'd put it in at,

just because of the name.

Will the Asprey name aspire to some great profits for the girls?

We'll find out soon.

In the meanwhile, let's have a little reminder of what the Blues bought.

Sally and Naomi stepped back in time with his Art Deco jobbie, £33 paid.

They made a daring nod to the East with this Japanese hardwood

wall shelf at a whopping £200.

And finally, these dandy 19th-century shoe buckles

tickled their fancy at £28.

Well, buckle my shoe!

-Tell me, Sal, how are you feeling?

-Excited, yeah.

The auction's just around the corner. Do you get the flutters?

-Yeah, it's quite a buzz, I'm loving it.

-Ooh, are you? That's good.

The big thing is, are you going to love David Harper's bonus buy?

You gave him £39, he's been out, so let's see what David's bought.

OK. Sal, will you reveal?

-Yes.

-I did say something medical and painful.

-I've gone with medieval and painful!

-Gosh!

They're magnificent! Have a grab of that.

-What is it?

-It's a mace, it's a medieval mace.

It wasn't made in the medieval period!

It's a medieval-style mace.

-But what a piece of kit!

-Is it something to do with the theatre,

do you think? Some Shakespearean production.

Possibly, or maybe a re-enactment group

-or just in a pub.

-How much was it? Come on!

-First of all, are you impressed with it?

-Impressed but a bit scared!

Yes, you look a bit worried!

Somebody would probably pay a fiver for it.

I'm horrified and devastated.

It was 20 quid and probably the best 20 quid I've spent all day.

-Ask him how much it's going to make.

-Oh, don't.

-Come on, how much?

-I don't know.

-We need to know these things.

Come on, it could make a tenner, it could make 50 quid.

It could go either way. A difficult decision for the Blues,

but they can't hang about too long as we're about to start the auction.

How excited are you, on an excited scale?

-Oh, off the scale, Tim.

-Above ten?

-Definitely above ten.

-What about you?

-I'm an American so I'm about 150.

-That's OK then.

If the worst comes to the worst, you've got the penknife to fall back on.

The first item is the WMF leaf-form dish, and here it comes.

WMF, a plated leaf dish, with a sinuous, organic, free-flowing

veiny design on its leaf.

-He's talking it up!

-Certainly is.

Bid's here, 25, 30. 35, 40, I'll take 2 now.

-42, 5...

-Go, Hanson!

I look for 50 now.

50, 5, 50, I'll take five, sir, one more, I'll take...

say, if it helps you, 2. 2, 5...

Oh, he's off again. Good old Charles! He is a lovely man.

One for the road, sir, 60 I'll take. 60.

5, no, he says. 60, I'll take 5.

Calm down!

At £60, fair warning.

-Wiped its face, marvellous.

-I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

-No profit, but still.

-Now the Goliath watch.

Interesting, eight-day, open-face Goliath silver-plated fob watch.

And I've got two bids here, £35, 45, 55,

65, 70. I'm out. 70, I'll take 5.

It could be worse.

Interesting watch. 70, I'll take 5 now,

one more do I see? 70, I'll take 5.

-I don't like that look of this, girls.

-That's pretty grim.

We're going.

-Sorry about that, Debs.

-Do not blame me!

What do you mean, do not blame you?!

-You're the only one...

-Minus 50, girls, let's not fall out.

Minus 50. You could get it all back with this purse.

-Absolutely. Come on.

-It was worth it for the look on your face!

Silver-plated, mother-of-pearl purse.

It's a wonderful love token for a loved one, I'm sure.

£15, it's a wonderful thing.

18, 22, 5, 8, I'm out.

-28...

-You're in profit.

-I look for 30 now. 29 bid, do I see 30?

-Come on!

-Come on.

Going, going, gone to you, sir.

So, you made £3 on that, that's excellent, which means overall,

you are minus £47.

-That could be a winning score, couldn't it, Tim?

-It could.

-But are you going to go with the bonus buy?

-Yes!

-Gosh, yes!

-Why? You're going to go for it?

-Yeah, we're doing it!

-I love that knife.

-Positive?

-We play to win.

We're going with the bonus buy, here it comes.

This Art Deco ivory and gold-plated... I'm only bid £25.

It's Asprey. I'll take 8 now.

-Uh-oh.

-8, 30 and 2.

5, 8, I'm with 40 and 2.

-I'm out.

-Uh-oh.

-At £42 now,

I'll take 5, 48? 48, 50.

2! Fair warning to you, sir, at 50.

-Minus 20, minus £20.

-So there you are.

So, overall, you're minus 67.

-Well.

-Which is...

-Respectable!

..perhaps today, a winning score!

-Anyway, don't say a thing to the Blues, all right?

-OK.

-No.

-Great team.

-For once.

Sally, Naomi, have you been talking to the Reds?

No, not at all, it's been tempting.

It's been tempting. You saw them, did they look comfortable?

-Uncomfortable?

-They gave us a big thumbs-up!

-Did they? Ah...

-I've seen it all before, Tim.

The first lot, then, is the deco-style ship ornament, and here it comes.

A very fine French Art Deco bedside clock.

Stamped Bayard, circa 1950s and I'm bid £10.

£10, 15, 18.

I'm out, £18.

-Come on.

-20, 20, 20...

£18, 20 I'll take now. Look at it. One more do I see? All done.

-£18, we're going at £18.

-Not good, is it?

Fair warning. We're going, going, gone.

-Minus 15, bad luck, team.

-Shame.

-Now, Oriental shelf.

-Just a blip.

Japanese hardwood, Shibayama decorated, two-tiered

hanging wall shelf, 25, 35, 40, I'll take 5 now.

40, I'll take 5, come on.

Not looking good.

55, 65, one more...

5, I've got you, 5, I'll take now 70,

or we sell, make no mistake. I'm out, you're in.

-Oh...

-That's not good, is it? I'm sorry about that.

-That is a massive loss.

-I don't think we can come back from that.

That is minus 135.

-Overall, you're minus 150.

-Right.

Now, the buckles.

Nice buckles, I like them. They are circa 1820, 1830.

And they maybe belonged to a dandy.

I'm only bid £20,

for a piece of Regency social history, where they walked.

20, I'll take 2 now, 25, 8, one more or are we out, sir? Are you sure?

For a fine pair of buckles, come on.

For a fine pair of buckles. Fair warning, we'll go on commission.

-I can't watch any more!

-One more, sir? No, he says.

-We sell at £25...

-He's going to sell them, look out.

..on commission. Fair warning. Gone!

Oh, no! Minus £3. So overall, you are minus 153

-which doesn't sound too bad when you say it quickly!

-Sounds all right.

Are you going to go with the medieval thwacker?

Oh, yeah, we've got nothing to lose. I think we've got to.

-Just go.

-Just go with it.

-Go with the flow.

-Go on.

Well, we're going with the weapon then, here it comes.

There we are... CROWD LAUGHS

It's a reproduction, cast-metal, medieval or Middle-Aged style mace.

We like it for its novelty appearance and I'm bid nothing.

Oh, for goodness' sake!

Do I see £10? Sir, you have great taste, £10.

I'll take now 12, at £10, I'll take 12 now, come on.

-He's done well to get £10.

-He's trying hard.

-He's doing well.

£10 I'm bid, one more do I see now?

-It's got to go.

-No, no, no.

15, 18...

-Yes!

-Yes!

No more, he says, at £15. At £15, we'll sell it.

Fair warning to you, sir. All out at £15!

It's going...

-Well, it's worth that for the entertainment.

-Yes.

And to be honest, I never thought you'd get 15 for that.

Well, some days it's good days, and some days it's bad days.

I'm afraid for both our teams today, today is a very, very bad day!

Well, I've given you a hint, it's been an appalling day all round

but for one team, it's been particularly appalling.

It's been nearly as appalling as I can possibly remember,

And that team is the Re... Blues!

Yes, Blues, it's you. Minus £158.

Largely contributed by the Oriental bracket.

Don't look... I can feel the burning eyes!

I'm not looking at you! I'm looking at the camera.

Anyway, there we go. To lose £135 on one object is a fairly big old strike to recover from.

I'm amazed you didn't. Anyway, there we go.

It's been great, lovely to see you.

But the victors today, who've managed to win by only losing £67...

-THEY CHEER

-Still a victory, Tim!

They've got nothing to crow about.

They made a profit of £3

on Tom's purse, and that was about it, really.

So let's not bang on.

Minus £67 is not so bad, considering everything else!

It's been great fun though, so join us soon

-for some more bargain hunting, yes?

-ALL: Yes.
