0:00:08 > 0:00:12We're in Edinburgh today and behind me is the famous castle,

0:00:12 > 0:00:13perched on a rock,

0:00:13 > 0:00:18formed when a volcano erupted 340 million years ago.

0:00:18 > 0:00:21And I thought we had enough eruptions, outbursts,

0:00:21 > 0:00:24and tantrums from our teams.

0:00:24 > 0:00:26Let's go Bargain Hunting, yeah!

0:00:55 > 0:01:00Just a caber's toss from the city, the Royal Highland Centre here

0:01:00 > 0:01:06plays host to thousands of dealers and opportunities for our teams.

0:01:06 > 0:01:10So let's take a sneaky peek as to what's coming up.

0:01:10 > 0:01:12The Reds are real straight talkers.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15I think it's rubbish.

0:01:15 > 0:01:17But it's only £18.

0:01:17 > 0:01:21And the Blues' biggest hurdle today is the generation gap.

0:01:22 > 0:01:26I would think that's about 1960s, '70s. That's old, isn't it, to you?

0:01:27 > 0:01:29Is that old? Yeah...

0:01:29 > 0:01:32Over at the auction, it's all to play for.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34I don't believe it!

0:01:34 > 0:01:36Let's meet the teams, eh?

0:01:36 > 0:01:40On Bargain Hunt today, it is wall-to-wall friends.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43For the Reds, we have Mark and Derek.

0:01:43 > 0:01:47And for the Blues we have Rachel and Ellie. Hello, everyone.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49- Hello!- Lovely to see you.

0:01:49 > 0:01:52Now, Derek, strange that you're in the Red team,

0:01:52 > 0:01:55- because really, you are boys in blue, aren't you?- Yeah, absolutely.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58Both Mark and myself are police officers.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01We work up at the Police Scotland College at Tulliallan Castle,

0:02:01 > 0:02:03both teaching crime reduction

0:02:03 > 0:02:05and crime convention to our more experienced officers.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07And is that where you met, teaching?

0:02:07 > 0:02:10Yeah, well, I've worked at the college for five years now.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13And Mark joined the team just two and a half years ago.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15That was where we met at first.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17To be honest, we've got on really, really well since.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19We became really good friends.

0:02:19 > 0:02:23- As well as colleagues, albeit, technically, I'm Mark's boss. - Are you?

0:02:23 > 0:02:25And that's quite challenging.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28When you're not training, what do you like to get up to?

0:02:28 > 0:02:29Too much, to be honest.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32This could be a secret getting out of the bag here, but I write.

0:02:32 > 0:02:36I write poetry. And I'm actually currently writing a novel,

0:02:36 > 0:02:37which is going really well.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39What's it like then?

0:02:39 > 0:02:44- It's a bit of a slow burner to start with.- Oh! He's your friend?

0:02:44 > 0:02:46- Well, was.- That's lovely.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48So, if...your mate's the writer.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51- You're the performer.- That's right. - So, what do you get up to?

0:02:51 > 0:02:54I do a lot of Burns singing, round about Burns time.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57I go to the Burns suppers and sing for my supper.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59- You eat haggis?- A lot of haggis, a lot of turnip, a lot of potato.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02- Not very pleasant to be about for... - Oh!

0:03:02 > 0:03:04..quite a lot of January and February!

0:03:04 > 0:03:07But, over the last few years, I've been getting into gemstones

0:03:07 > 0:03:10and collecting, mostly semiprecious gemstones.

0:03:10 > 0:03:14Are those the sort of things to go for today, if the price is right?

0:03:14 > 0:03:16Probably not. I like to feel things

0:03:16 > 0:03:18and touch things.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21So, if I pick something up and it feels good,

0:03:21 > 0:03:23it could well be a purchase for us today.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25Who's going to be the boss at the fair?

0:03:25 > 0:03:27Who's going to be the leader, the senior officer, or the junior?

0:03:27 > 0:03:30I think I've probably got a better grasp on, maybe, antiques

0:03:30 > 0:03:33and collectables than the boss has.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36I absolutely concur with that. Mark's going to be the boss today.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38No doubt, he's going to pick one hideous item

0:03:38 > 0:03:39that I'm really going to dislike,

0:03:39 > 0:03:42but I'll bow to his superior experience today.

0:03:42 > 0:03:46- Well, you never know. Great team. Good luck.- Thank you.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49- Lovely. Now, Raquel, or should I call you Rachel?- Either or.

0:03:49 > 0:03:53- I get both.- Now, you met at university.- We did, yes.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55So what are you? Or where are you studying?

0:03:55 > 0:03:58We're studying speech and language pathology.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01So, what does that mean, speech pathology?

0:04:01 > 0:04:04It's just the study of different disorders of voice,

0:04:04 > 0:04:07of speech, of language, of swallowing.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10It covers quite a lot, that's really interesting.

0:04:10 > 0:04:12You can go from children with stammering,

0:04:12 > 0:04:15right through to geriatric patients with strokes.

0:04:15 > 0:04:19But it's a really rewarding course, just helping people that

0:04:19 > 0:04:22can't communicate or have difficulty just finding their voice again.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25There is a chance that you might run off to the circus, isn't there?

0:04:25 > 0:04:29I don't know if I'll run away, but definitely a brilliant hobby to have.

0:04:29 > 0:04:32How'd you get to learn how to do high wire acts?

0:04:32 > 0:04:35To be honest, I was just bored one day and googled it

0:04:35 > 0:04:40and found that there were classes in Glasgow. So, I went along and...

0:04:40 > 0:04:42- No! Really?- Yeah, loved it. Absolutely love it.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45But, when you're up in the top of a tent,

0:04:45 > 0:04:48you've presumably got something to catch you if you were to slip?

0:04:48 > 0:04:52- There's a crash mat on the ground. So...- Well, that's something.- Yeah.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55- Well, there we go.- It's really fun. - These dealers better watch out today

0:04:55 > 0:04:57because they don't know what they're taking on.

0:04:57 > 0:05:03Now, Ellie, your extracurricular activities involve some high-octane sports, too, don't they?

0:05:03 > 0:05:07Yes, I do dancing. I've done dancing since the age of two.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10- Wow! - So, ballet, tap, jazz, contemporary.

0:05:10 > 0:05:14Some hip-hop, but it's not really my strongest.

0:05:14 > 0:05:17Erm, but, yeah, done that since I was two, carried it on

0:05:17 > 0:05:21through to university. I now compete with the university team.

0:05:21 > 0:05:22Do you do any ballroom?

0:05:22 > 0:05:26- No ballroom.- Oh, that's a pity. So, what are your tactics?

0:05:26 > 0:05:29Are you going to go for something old? Do you know about antiques?

0:05:29 > 0:05:30I mean...

0:05:30 > 0:05:33Well, we both said we really wanted to get some jewellery,

0:05:33 > 0:05:36- or something quite ornate and pretty.- What do you think?

0:05:36 > 0:05:40I want to try and spend as little as possible.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42Try and get those bargains.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44Well, you can get a bargain and still spend quite a lot of money.

0:05:44 > 0:05:46So, I'd just be cool about it.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49Anyway, this is the money moment, £300 apiece.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52This is good, isn't it? Look at that, Mark. His face lit up.

0:05:52 > 0:05:53There you go, Raquel.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55You know the rules, your experts await and off you go!

0:05:55 > 0:05:58Very, very, very good luck.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01Trapeze artist? Oh, I say!

0:06:03 > 0:06:07What great teams. Just as well we got great experts to match.

0:06:07 > 0:06:11There'll be no flies on the Reds with Paul Laidlaw.

0:06:11 > 0:06:15And here to bag a bargain for the Blues, it's Caroline Hawley.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17Did you guys have a plan? What are we buying today?

0:06:17 > 0:06:21- What are we buying, Mark?- Maybe a bit of cranberry glass.- Right.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23What are you looking for?

0:06:23 > 0:06:27- We said jewellery, something quite pretty.- Pretty. Jewellery. - Unusual.- Unusual.- Yeah.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30- Anything I can take. - At the right money?- That's it.

0:06:30 > 0:06:34- Something silver. - Silver, unusual, pretty.- Yes.

0:06:34 > 0:06:38Time to take off. Teams, your 60 minutes starts now.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40- BELL - Over there.- Let's go.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42Come on then.

0:06:42 > 0:06:46So, that's the shopping list sorted. Small matter of finding it all now.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51- That's a kilt pin, isn't it? - I quite like those.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54Now, this is actually Scottish silver

0:06:54 > 0:06:56- and this will be glass in here.- OK.

0:06:56 > 0:06:59And it's altogether a lovely thing.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02I think, at 25, it's probably a little bit much.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04OK. Look for something else. Something similar.

0:07:04 > 0:07:07- That's the sort of thing you're looking for.- That's the idea.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10Right. Well, we'll put our heads together and we'll find something.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12Not pinning their hopes there, then.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15The Reds, however, could be speeding into their first buy.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17Marked up at £35.

0:07:17 > 0:07:21It's a scratch-built model speedboat. Was it ever powered?

0:07:21 > 0:07:22Well, it's got a prop.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25Is there a way to get into the...

0:07:25 > 0:07:26Yeah.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29- Ah, it is. - It's got a live steam engine in it.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32- It's been a wee petrol engine, I think.- It had.- I quite like that.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34So, it was sophisticated enough.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37- You know, it wasnae just a piece of O-Level woodwork.- No.

0:07:37 > 0:07:42It was meant to be a functioning... Yeah, I get it. Fair enough.

0:07:42 > 0:07:47- Did your mate mention a price? - He did indeed.- Go on.- £20.

0:07:47 > 0:07:52Well, I mean, what I've got to do there is go, pfft...

0:07:52 > 0:07:55What I really mean is, seems all right.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58- It's not a lot of money.- It's not a lot of money. I'd like to buy that.

0:07:58 > 0:08:02- Derek's keeping quiet over there. - You going for it just now? - I'm going to buy that.

0:08:02 > 0:08:04- I'm happy for you to buy that, Mark. - Seriously?

0:08:04 > 0:08:08- At that price. 15 quid, was it? Was it 15?- 18.- 18. There you go.

0:08:08 > 0:08:10Sounds like a deal.

0:08:10 > 0:08:14Want a carrier bag? That's five pence.

0:08:14 > 0:08:15- LAUGHTER - There you go!

0:08:15 > 0:08:18I like your style. Good man.

0:08:18 > 0:08:23- Cheers.- Are you guys always this, erm, palsy-walsy?

0:08:23 > 0:08:26We agreed one of us could pick an item, the other one could pick one.

0:08:26 > 0:08:28- We could fight over the third one. - Aah!

0:08:28 > 0:08:29So he's picked his item there.

0:08:29 > 0:08:32Personally, I think it's rubbish. But it's only £18.

0:08:32 > 0:08:37And it's made this guy's day, if nothing else!

0:08:37 > 0:08:39Oh, Derek, you are so magnanimous.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42And that's your first buy in double-quick time.

0:08:42 > 0:08:47Nice bit of tartan there. A little vintage bag. But it's not silver.

0:08:47 > 0:08:52- It's not silver. I do like it, though.- It is quite nice.- Is it old?

0:08:52 > 0:08:58I would think that's about 1960s, '70s. That's old, isn't it, to you?

0:08:58 > 0:09:03- Is that old?- A wee bit.- It is old. OK. Yeah.- I do quite like it.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07- I think we can do better, though. - Right, OK.

0:09:07 > 0:09:11- I'm just checking how much it is. - Ellie thinks we can do better.

0:09:11 > 0:09:15- OK. It's £15, though.- Something to remember.- If we need a cheap item. - OK.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18Good plan, Ellie. You've plenty of time.

0:09:18 > 0:09:22- Which way do you want to go?- Erm... Over that way.- This way?- This way.

0:09:22 > 0:09:25- Right.- It looks colourful. - It does look colourful.

0:09:25 > 0:09:28Well, the big boy took six minutes to buy his first thing

0:09:28 > 0:09:30and we blethered for a minute. So, you got you've got five.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33- Get a move on. - All right. Here we go.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36Paul, this item over here, I just...

0:09:36 > 0:09:40I very much come from a house where you'd get the pepper in the original packaging

0:09:40 > 0:09:43and the salt in the original packaging on the table.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46This is something a bit different, something quite nice.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49I imagine it's something that my granny would have had in her house.

0:09:49 > 0:09:52Your granny would have been proud to have that in her house

0:09:52 > 0:09:54because it's a smart object.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57Date wise, it's going to be late 19th, or early 20th century. OK?

0:09:57 > 0:10:00Cannae be any more precise than that.

0:10:00 > 0:10:02- Mustard is the hinge lid.- Yeah.

0:10:02 > 0:10:06Vinegar and oil. And then a hell of a lot of salt.

0:10:06 > 0:10:08- Heart attack central.- OK.

0:10:08 > 0:10:12- So there's not one for brown sauce, then? - PAUL LAUGHS

0:10:12 > 0:10:14Salt and sauce!

0:10:14 > 0:10:16The important thing about these, from our point of view,

0:10:16 > 0:10:21is they've got to be perfect to have a fighting chance.

0:10:21 > 0:10:25- Right.- It is damaged around the edges.- Oh!

0:10:25 > 0:10:28Look at this. Eagle eye there.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31- Well spotted. I think a decision is made then, yes?- I fear it is.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34Now your six minutes are up, so you are now officially a loser.

0:10:34 > 0:10:37- Oh, right. I better put this down. - PAUL LAUGHS

0:10:37 > 0:10:41Now, the Blues have found an item that ticks a few boxes.

0:10:41 > 0:10:45Now, these are silver and pretty, but do you know what they are?

0:10:45 > 0:10:47I'm not too sure, no.

0:10:47 > 0:10:51- They're a specific purpose. They are actually fish knives and forks. - OK.

0:10:51 > 0:10:55And if we have a look at them, this is silver-plated,

0:10:55 > 0:10:58and this lovely mother of pearl handle.

0:10:58 > 0:11:01I think these are very, very pretty.

0:11:01 > 0:11:05And look, we've got the knife and the fork.

0:11:05 > 0:11:09- Really rather lovely.- It is a full set, and they are good quality.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12Full set, good quality.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15- And £20.- Mm-hm.

0:11:15 > 0:11:18It's not a bad price. They're not going to go in the dishwasher.

0:11:18 > 0:11:20We are students, we don't use dishwashers.

0:11:20 > 0:11:23Don't you students... Do you do any washing up at all?

0:11:23 > 0:11:26- We do, but we don't have the luxury of a dishwasher.- We hand wash it.

0:11:26 > 0:11:28- They would be good for us. - So would you use these?

0:11:28 > 0:11:32- I think if we had them.- Yeah, if we had them.- And what about the price?

0:11:32 > 0:11:35- £20.- Erm...

0:11:35 > 0:11:39- I think we can get it down.- Yeah. If we can get it down a wee bit lower, that would be...

0:11:39 > 0:11:42- It would be good. - Let's go for it, Ellie.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44What's your best offer...?

0:11:44 > 0:11:46- STALLHOLDER:- 15.- 15?

0:11:46 > 0:11:49- She's straight in there, Ellie.- 13?

0:11:49 > 0:11:51OK. That's fine.

0:11:51 > 0:11:54- Thank you very much.- Good for you. Thank you.

0:11:54 > 0:11:56That's great, thank you very much.

0:11:56 > 0:12:01It's a topsy-turvy world where students behave sensibly...

0:12:01 > 0:12:04- We've only spent...£13. - We've only spent £13!

0:12:04 > 0:12:05..and bobbies muck about?

0:12:05 > 0:12:08- Must have had a small head. - It's a hell of a look.

0:12:08 > 0:12:12Anyway, both teams now have an item apiece with 50 minutes gone,

0:12:12 > 0:12:14and the search continues.

0:12:16 > 0:12:19- What about these ones?- What!

0:12:19 > 0:12:23- What about if we save up our pennies for a year?- OK.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26- I'm not loving it.- It is very cold.

0:12:26 > 0:12:28It wants to be obsidian or basalt.

0:12:28 > 0:12:31- Do you want to have a think, girls? - Yes.

0:12:31 > 0:12:34Desperately out of fashion. They're more interesting in somebody else's stall

0:12:34 > 0:12:36than in your house, I would suspect.

0:12:36 > 0:12:40- Anything that stands out for you, Rach?- Mmm...

0:12:40 > 0:12:4230 minutes gone now, teams.

0:12:42 > 0:12:45So, with neither team drawn to anything in particular,

0:12:45 > 0:12:48time for a gentle nudge, do you think?

0:12:48 > 0:12:50Now, there is some jewellery here, girls.

0:12:50 > 0:12:53- There's a few silver ones I like. - Do you want to look?

0:12:53 > 0:12:57- Yes, can we have a closer look? - Now look at that.

0:12:57 > 0:12:59- Do you like that? - Yeah, that's really nice.

0:12:59 > 0:13:04- Now, if I turn it over, can you see how it is a brooch here?- Yeah.

0:13:04 > 0:13:08But then, with a little bit of magic...

0:13:08 > 0:13:10See what I mean? It comes off.

0:13:10 > 0:13:15- And that will act as a separate lapel brooch.- Yeah.

0:13:15 > 0:13:20That. And the other one matching, to wear on a jacket or a dress.

0:13:21 > 0:13:23Really lovely thing.

0:13:23 > 0:13:28- Now, what to check with these is that's there's no stones missing. - Yeah.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31So I'll put my glasses on for this.

0:13:31 > 0:13:36But can you see, this beautiful sparkle to it?

0:13:36 > 0:13:40- We'll turn over, are you ready for the price?- Yes.

0:13:40 > 0:13:43- 98.- Right. OK.

0:13:43 > 0:13:47- So, it is quite a lot. - What do you think we should get that down to, to make a profit?

0:13:47 > 0:13:52I would be happy if it came down to 70, certainly. It needs to be that.

0:13:52 > 0:13:54- OK. We'll try... - Shall we have a try?

0:13:54 > 0:13:59Hello, sir, I'm wondering if we could talk to you about your lovely dress clip?

0:13:59 > 0:14:02- Yeah.- Now there is 98 on it.

0:14:02 > 0:14:06- What would be your best price, please?- Probably do it for 90.

0:14:06 > 0:14:10Would you go down a bit lower? 70?

0:14:10 > 0:14:13- A bit lower.- Do it for 80.

0:14:13 > 0:14:1570 would really help us.

0:14:15 > 0:14:20- OK. We'll do it for 70.- Oh, you can't resist their cheeky smiles. - Thank you.

0:14:20 > 0:14:22- No problem, OK.- 70, are you happy?

0:14:22 > 0:14:25You can see he's on our team, in the blue.

0:14:25 > 0:14:28Hey, whether it was the cheeky smiles or the matching fleeces that

0:14:28 > 0:14:32swung it, that's item number two, with 20 minutes left.

0:14:33 > 0:14:37- What about that, Paul? I like that.- The cranberry glass there.

0:14:37 > 0:14:40That whopping great big piece of glass.

0:14:40 > 0:14:45- The great big one.- From the guy that said at the off, cranberry glass.

0:14:45 > 0:14:48What is it, then? It is an epergne.

0:14:48 > 0:14:51A fancy name for a flute-form vase.

0:14:51 > 0:14:54Generally an epergne will have more than one flute.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56Backlit, it is beautiful.

0:14:56 > 0:14:58To be honest, I don't like it. I don't like it at all.

0:14:58 > 0:15:00Most of the buying public are in your camp.

0:15:00 > 0:15:03Wouldn't be for me at all. And at the price it is quoted at.

0:15:03 > 0:15:07- What is the price? Can you see that tag? £95.- £95.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09Is this yours? How are you doing?

0:15:09 > 0:15:11Tell me that's an old friend

0:15:11 > 0:15:13and you want to sell that heavily discounted.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15HE LAUGHS

0:15:15 > 0:15:18- Well, yes, I would like to. - They are hard work, aren't they? They have fallen from favour.

0:15:18 > 0:15:22- Well...- Once upon a time, that was, what, 250 quid all day long?

0:15:22 > 0:15:26And now they are a nightmare. Can that be cheap?

0:15:26 > 0:15:28Very best on that, 75, sir.

0:15:28 > 0:15:31At what price are you saying to Derek, "I want it, and I'm having it"?

0:15:33 > 0:15:37- 50 quid.- Make your man your last offer.

0:15:37 > 0:15:39- 50 quid.- It...

0:15:39 > 0:15:41I understand, I understand.

0:15:41 > 0:15:45You've got to run a business. At 50, we'd take a punt.

0:15:45 > 0:15:46But it's...

0:15:49 > 0:15:52I can't... Can you meet me at 60?

0:15:52 > 0:15:55- What do you think, Derek?- 55.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58- You can't go far wrong with that. - Would you do 55?

0:15:58 > 0:16:01- 50...- 55. 55.

0:16:01 > 0:16:04Yes, go on, then. 55.

0:16:04 > 0:16:07I think you got away with your skin of your teeth there. Thank you.

0:16:07 > 0:16:10Thanks for working with us on that. Good stuff. How you feeling?

0:16:10 > 0:16:14You've got your cranberry glass! It is utterly elegant. I love it.

0:16:14 > 0:16:17- I love it.- Behave yourself.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20So that's two Red items reflecting Mark's taste,

0:16:20 > 0:16:23meaning the last buy is down to Derek.

0:16:23 > 0:16:26I'm not going to be buying it, I'm really sorry.

0:16:26 > 0:16:30Well, buy your third items soon, Reds. That goes for you too, Blues.

0:16:30 > 0:16:32Right, girls, time is ticking away.

0:16:32 > 0:16:35- We've actually only got 12 minutes left.- OK.

0:16:35 > 0:16:38No pressure, but just a little pressure. Come on.

0:16:39 > 0:16:44What about this item, Paul? It looks like some kind of trinket box.

0:16:44 > 0:16:48- Oriental.- OK.- Japan.- Japan, right.

0:16:48 > 0:16:53Parquetry veneered. Parquetry and marquetry veneered, in truth.

0:16:53 > 0:16:55Because it is a trinket box.

0:16:55 > 0:16:58The cross-section, of course, is that of a fan.

0:16:58 > 0:17:01And I must admit, while I've seen several today of these little

0:17:01 > 0:17:04Japanese parquetry boxes, I like them.

0:17:04 > 0:17:08The first time I've ever seen one of this configuration.

0:17:08 > 0:17:12And that really works for me. What is it worth? £30-£50.

0:17:12 > 0:17:1740 to 80, if you're being bullish. But I don't see a price on it.

0:17:17 > 0:17:19What do you want me to pay for it?

0:17:19 > 0:17:21It is the first thing to really jump out at me all day,

0:17:21 > 0:17:25so if you could get it for £30, I'd be more than happy with that.

0:17:25 > 0:17:28- It jumped out at you? - It jumped out, literally.

0:17:28 > 0:17:30You sound almost passionate there.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33- You moved me.- I'm more passionate about the £30.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36- PAUL LAUGHS - Any more than that... No deal.

0:17:36 > 0:17:39With Paul on the case, surely that's a done deal.

0:17:39 > 0:17:43Less than ten minutes now, Blues. And time to part with some cash.

0:17:43 > 0:17:46- I do like mother of pearl, it is quite pretty.- We've already got the mother of pearl.

0:17:46 > 0:17:49- We've got a theme going here, haven't we?- That's true.

0:17:49 > 0:17:52But that is in nice condition.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55And there's a lot of people that collect card cases.

0:17:55 > 0:17:58- Right.- There might be a little bit of profit at 75.

0:17:58 > 0:18:01- I think it is still quite expensive...- OK, then.- ..at 75.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04Yes, students are careful with their coppers.

0:18:04 > 0:18:07- Talking of coppers... - I saw a handshake.

0:18:07 > 0:18:10With time to spare, the Reds have their third item.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12- 30 quid. Are you happy?- Yes, very.

0:18:12 > 0:18:16- We did it.- But the Blues have taken their eye off the ball.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18What are you like? There we are.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21- Oh, it has got balls in it.- I want to know where the Red team are,

0:18:21 > 0:18:23- just to scout out the competition. - They could be anywhere.

0:18:23 > 0:18:26- I wonder how they're doing, those boys.- I know.- Not as good as us.

0:18:26 > 0:18:29Of course they won't be doing as well as us, would they?

0:18:29 > 0:18:33No, it wouldn't be gentlemanly to tell them otherwise.

0:18:33 > 0:18:35Right, come on. You owe me a brew, that was hard work. Come on.

0:18:35 > 0:18:38- Let's go.- With five minutes left,

0:18:38 > 0:18:41the boys head off for a cup of tea.

0:18:41 > 0:18:43Will the girls take the biscuit?

0:18:44 > 0:18:47I quite like it. It is... Oh, it is a bit dented.

0:18:47 > 0:18:51It has got some age to it. Take...

0:18:51 > 0:18:53"Huntley & Palmers".

0:18:53 > 0:18:57Ah, it's a Huntley & Palmers biscuit tin. That's exactly what it is.

0:18:57 > 0:19:01It looks a wee bit like it had a hinge or something.

0:19:01 > 0:19:03Does it matter that that's gone?

0:19:03 > 0:19:06Yes, it does matter, but how much it matters is another thing.

0:19:06 > 0:19:09It's...it's had that, and it's got...

0:19:11 > 0:19:15- Yes, that's the hinge there, isn't it? Can you see?- Yeah.

0:19:16 > 0:19:21- Does it say how much it is? - How much is it?- 45.- How much?- 45.

0:19:21 > 0:19:2345. So...

0:19:25 > 0:19:27In a better condition, it would be more, but do you like this?

0:19:27 > 0:19:31- I think it is quite... - I'm just worried about the condition, that's the only thing.

0:19:31 > 0:19:32It is a bit dented.

0:19:32 > 0:19:36- Is there anything else in the stall that...- Now, you were looking at brushes earlier.

0:19:36 > 0:19:40- That is quite a nice set over there. - Yes, and it is a complete set.

0:19:40 > 0:19:43You've got the mirror. And the clothes brush, complete with the comb.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45There's two problems with it.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48It has got a little bit of damage on the enamel.

0:19:48 > 0:19:51And the other thing is that it's actually silver plate.

0:19:51 > 0:19:53If it was silver it would be a lot more money,

0:19:53 > 0:19:57but it would be a lot better. Better ask the lady how much it is.

0:19:57 > 0:20:01The dealer might be camera shy, but not shy of a deal.

0:20:01 > 0:20:0260.

0:20:02 > 0:20:06We are going to have our work cut out to get any profit on that.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09So it's either this or the globe. What do you think?

0:20:10 > 0:20:11I really do like that,

0:20:11 > 0:20:15but it is not silver and we said something unusual.

0:20:15 > 0:20:18- I really like the biscuit tin.- And Rachel really likes the biscuit tin. - You spotted it...

0:20:18 > 0:20:20THEY LAUGH

0:20:20 > 0:20:22- Do you think it will make a profit? - Not at that price.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25- I think you need to offer less.- OK.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29- OK, so if we can get it for 30. - Yes, OK.

0:20:29 > 0:20:32- Right, we are going to leave it to you, Rachel, to ask the lady.- OK.

0:20:32 > 0:20:36Hello, excuse me. For this one here, would you do it for 30?

0:20:37 > 0:20:41- STALLHOLDER:- We can do 35.

0:20:41 > 0:20:43Meet me halfway at 32.

0:20:44 > 0:20:47- Yeah, that'll be fine. - 32. Take that?

0:20:47 > 0:20:49- Yes... 32.- Is that all right?

0:20:49 > 0:20:53- Yes, you both love it, don't you?- We will take that. Thank you very much.

0:20:53 > 0:20:55HORN BLARES

0:20:55 > 0:20:59- Time's up, teams.- It was looking a bit dodgy.- A bit close to the wire.

0:20:59 > 0:21:02- But we did it. - Let's weigh up what the Reds bought.

0:21:03 > 0:21:07They bought the scratch-built toy speedboat for £18.

0:21:10 > 0:21:13Mark got the cranberry glass he wanted,

0:21:13 > 0:21:17paying £55 for the Victorian style epergne.

0:21:17 > 0:21:20Lastly, the fan-shaped, parquetry veneered trinket box

0:21:20 > 0:21:22was picked up for £30.

0:21:24 > 0:21:27- How are we, chaps?- We are well. - We've had a good day.

0:21:27 > 0:21:31- And how much did you spend in total? - £103.

0:21:31 > 0:21:36£103. I would like £197 of leftover lolly somewhere.

0:21:36 > 0:21:37- Thank you very much.- There you go. - OK.

0:21:37 > 0:21:40- Which is your favourite piece, Mark?- The speedboat.

0:21:40 > 0:21:42- Speedboat is your favourite. - The model speedboat.

0:21:42 > 0:21:45- Would you agree with that?- No, I'd completely disagree with that.

0:21:45 > 0:21:47I like the trinket box, the Japanese trinket box.

0:21:47 > 0:21:49- I think it was very nice. - That's your favourite?- Yes.

0:21:49 > 0:21:51Will that bring the biggest profit?

0:21:51 > 0:21:54Truthfully, I think the speedboat, at the price that we got it for,

0:21:54 > 0:21:57- could bring the biggest profit. - Well, the best part, as they say, is to come.

0:21:57 > 0:22:00That's Paul Laidlaw going off and finding his bonus buy.

0:22:00 > 0:22:03Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?

0:22:03 > 0:22:05First up was the boxed,

0:22:05 > 0:22:10silver-plated mother of pearl fish knives and forks for £13.

0:22:10 > 0:22:14Next, the silver and marcasite metamorphic brooch

0:22:14 > 0:22:16was bagged for £70.

0:22:18 > 0:22:22Finally, they spent £32 on the Huntley & Palmers globe biscuit tin.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29- Well, girls, was that fun? - It was really good actually.

0:22:29 > 0:22:31- Quite stressful towards the end. - Was it?

0:22:31 > 0:22:35- Yes, we got pushed a wee bit for time.- Which is your favourite piece?

0:22:35 > 0:22:39- My favourite is the biscuit tin. - What about you, Ellie?- The brooch.

0:22:39 > 0:22:42- Brooch. Will that bring the biggest profit?- Hope so. Hopefully.

0:22:42 > 0:22:45- Do you agree?- I think the brooch might bring the biggest profit.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48Well, that's your prediction anyway. That is perfect.

0:22:48 > 0:22:53So I will have the leftover lolly. You spent 115, you've given me £185.

0:22:53 > 0:22:55I give that straight to Caroline.

0:22:55 > 0:22:57What are you going to do with all that cash?

0:22:57 > 0:22:59I've seen one or two things,

0:22:59 > 0:23:02- and I think I'm going to spend this very wisely.- Oh.

0:23:02 > 0:23:04Well, it is your challenge, and good luck with that.

0:23:04 > 0:23:08Meanwhile, we are going to head across Scotland

0:23:08 > 0:23:11and go to the Clyde, to sunny Glasgow.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15For over a century, Glasgow's main industry was shipbuilding.

0:23:15 > 0:23:19A thriving international import trade developed as a result,

0:23:19 > 0:23:23which brought great wealth and prosperity to the city.

0:23:26 > 0:23:31Successful Victorian industrialist William Burrell was born in 1861,

0:23:31 > 0:23:36and he was a real bargain hunter of his day.

0:23:36 > 0:23:40Part of an old Glasgow shipping family,

0:23:40 > 0:23:42he became renowned for buying

0:23:42 > 0:23:46up entire fleets in time of slump, and then selling them

0:23:46 > 0:23:50on for an immense profit when the market became more buoyant.

0:23:50 > 0:23:54But Burrell's real passion was something other than ships - art.

0:23:54 > 0:23:56His much-loved treasures

0:23:56 > 0:23:59were donated to the people of Glasgow in 1944,

0:23:59 > 0:24:03and now almost 9,000 items are housed here at the Burrell Collection.

0:24:06 > 0:24:08But in true business-like fashion,

0:24:08 > 0:24:11the gift came with one or two conditions.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13And to find out about those,

0:24:13 > 0:24:17I'm going to talk to head guide John Rattenbury.

0:24:21 > 0:24:24- Now, hi, John, how are you doing?- Hi, Tim.

0:24:24 > 0:24:27Now, I need to find out what were the conditions that were

0:24:27 > 0:24:29attached to the Burrell gift?

0:24:29 > 0:24:33It had to be a museum with only his items in it.

0:24:33 > 0:24:36It had to be in Glasgow, but the problem at that time

0:24:36 > 0:24:39was that Glasgow was such a dirty city.

0:24:39 > 0:24:42Finding somewhere that was good, that wouldn't destroy the objects,

0:24:42 > 0:24:44was very difficult.

0:24:44 > 0:24:47But it was when the Maxwell family donated the Pollok Estate to

0:24:47 > 0:24:51Glasgow that this was the ideal opportunity for it to be

0:24:51 > 0:24:54built here, and it opened in 1983.

0:24:54 > 0:24:56And some of Burrell's collection

0:24:56 > 0:25:00finished up being built into the structure here, didn't it?

0:25:00 > 0:25:03Parts of that is the Hornby Portal just over here.

0:25:03 > 0:25:05Which is a magnificent thing.

0:25:05 > 0:25:10- So, did Burrell actually remove it from Hornby Castle?- No. No.

0:25:10 > 0:25:12Somebody else removed it, put it up for sale.

0:25:12 > 0:25:15It was bought by William Randolph Hearst,

0:25:15 > 0:25:18the American collector, and then subsequently when it came

0:25:18 > 0:25:22up for sale from his collection, it was bought by Sir William Burrell.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24- Just after the Depression. - Just after the Depression.

0:25:24 > 0:25:29So knowing Burrell, he got it at a cheap price.

0:25:29 > 0:25:34£250, which was a fabulous bargain, and Burrell would have loved that.

0:25:34 > 0:25:37So for £250, he gets all that

0:25:37 > 0:25:4014th century architectural detail,

0:25:40 > 0:25:44but it wasn't just ancient stones that he was interested in, was it?

0:25:44 > 0:25:48Not at all, no, he loved his stained glass. So, can I show you some?

0:25:48 > 0:25:49Yeah, please.

0:25:53 > 0:25:56- Well, John, this is magnificent, isn't it?- Certainly is.

0:25:56 > 0:26:00What a clever way of displaying all this ancient stained glass.

0:26:00 > 0:26:06Yes, wonderful. Most of it's from around the 1500s, late 1400s,

0:26:06 > 0:26:08and it's just remarkable.

0:26:08 > 0:26:11So how did they finish up in Britain?

0:26:11 > 0:26:16Around the early 1800s, a cloth weaver from Norwich,

0:26:16 > 0:26:19he took the opportunity of the Peace of Amiens

0:26:19 > 0:26:23to head over into the continent to do some dealing.

0:26:23 > 0:26:25Didn't have any intentions on stained glass at all,

0:26:25 > 0:26:28but there was all this wonderful stained glass that was being

0:26:28 > 0:26:30removed from churches, it just wasn't appropriate.

0:26:30 > 0:26:32Changes in taste and so on.

0:26:32 > 0:26:36And so he was picking it up and sending it back home to England.

0:26:36 > 0:26:39- Really?- And it went into various collections,

0:26:39 > 0:26:42and then of course people die, these collections come

0:26:42 > 0:26:44up for sale, so William Burrell is there buying them.

0:26:44 > 0:26:47- At the right price. - At the right price.

0:26:47 > 0:26:49Well, that's the point, isn't it?

0:26:49 > 0:26:54In 1802 or three, ravaged by the Napoleonic Wars,

0:26:54 > 0:26:56things are really bad on the Continent.

0:26:56 > 0:27:00There they are on their uppers, and that cloth dealer, at that

0:27:00 > 0:27:04- moment in time, did a very sound, commercial thing.- Saving it.

0:27:04 > 0:27:07- And saving it.- Because it wouldn't be here otherwise.

0:27:07 > 0:27:10It is a magnificent tale of survival, and I have to say,

0:27:10 > 0:27:13it is incredibly impressive to see it here in the Burrell,

0:27:13 > 0:27:15and a real treat for you to show us.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17Thank you very much, John.

0:27:17 > 0:27:20Meanwhile, it's time for us to head off to the auction, to find

0:27:20 > 0:27:25out if there is a tale there that is equally as illuminating.

0:27:32 > 0:27:33Well, how lovely is this?

0:27:33 > 0:27:36We've popped to Great Western Auctions to be with Anita Manning.

0:27:36 > 0:27:38We couldn't come to Scotland without coming to see you!

0:27:38 > 0:27:40Of course you couldn't.

0:27:40 > 0:27:41It's a real treat.

0:27:41 > 0:27:45First of all is this so-called scratch-built model

0:27:45 > 0:27:48of what I think is a Fairey Huntsman,

0:27:48 > 0:27:52or a Fairey Swordfish, for those people who are into

0:27:52 > 0:27:55powerboats of the late '50s and early '60s,

0:27:55 > 0:27:57but built by a man in a shed, right?

0:27:57 > 0:28:00It's a home-made put-together thing.

0:28:00 > 0:28:04But it did have an engine, and he could go to his local pond

0:28:04 > 0:28:08- and he could have great fun.- Yeah. I think it's a lot of object for £18

0:28:08 > 0:28:10- and it ticks my box.- Yeah.

0:28:10 > 0:28:13- Er, how much do you think it'll bring?- 30 to 50?

0:28:13 > 0:28:16Well, there you go, it ticks your box too. Which is super.

0:28:16 > 0:28:20Next is the cranberry glass centrepiece,

0:28:20 > 0:28:23which looks a bit better than it actually is.

0:28:23 > 0:28:26It's very impressive, it's very impressive.

0:28:26 > 0:28:29Now, the Victorians loved cranberry glass, they loved the colour.

0:28:29 > 0:28:33These wonderful centrepieces with the flutes and so on.

0:28:33 > 0:28:35It's still quite an impressive piece,

0:28:35 > 0:28:38but it's not Victorian.

0:28:38 > 0:28:41- No. I mean...- Not all of it.- No.

0:28:42 > 0:28:44Well, that bit looks old,

0:28:44 > 0:28:46but I guess that's about the top and bottom of it.

0:28:46 > 0:28:49Anyway, there it is, it's a reproduction, effectively.

0:28:49 > 0:28:51How much do you think you'll get?

0:28:51 > 0:28:56- Well, I put 70 to 120... - Did you really?- Round about that.

0:28:56 > 0:29:00Well, the team paid £55. I think £55 is plenty for it.

0:29:00 > 0:29:04Good. Now, the last item is this extraordinary

0:29:04 > 0:29:10parquetry and marquetry Japanese box. What sort of a box is this, Anita?

0:29:10 > 0:29:13This was probably made as a souvenir piece,

0:29:13 > 0:29:16and I would use it as a little trinket box.

0:29:16 > 0:29:19The fan shape is very, very feminine,

0:29:19 > 0:29:24and I think the marquetry with these lovely sort of kaleidoscope patterns

0:29:24 > 0:29:27- are very nice. - What is your estimate?

0:29:27 > 0:29:30- I put £50 to £80.- Have you? Oh, well, that's marvellous,

0:29:30 > 0:29:32cos they only paid £30.

0:29:32 > 0:29:34- Uh-huh?- They'll be well pleased with that.

0:29:34 > 0:29:38And in fact, depending on what happens with the cranberry epergne,

0:29:38 > 0:29:40they may or may not need their bonus buy.

0:29:40 > 0:29:42But let's go and have a look at it anyway.

0:29:43 > 0:29:47Now, chaps, here we are. You only spent £103,

0:29:47 > 0:29:50which is pretty miserable,

0:29:50 > 0:29:54and £197 went to Paul Laidlaw. Paul, what did you spend it on?

0:29:54 > 0:29:56OK. Maybe not the biggest thing in the auction,

0:29:56 > 0:29:58but might be one of the most interesting.

0:29:58 > 0:29:59What do you think?

0:29:59 > 0:30:03It's an Imperial German Iron Cross, is it not?

0:30:03 > 0:30:04Have a look at it.

0:30:04 > 0:30:09But that's not a medal you're looking at, it's a fob.

0:30:09 > 0:30:10A locket.

0:30:10 > 0:30:12The recipient of an Iron Cross

0:30:12 > 0:30:16went out and procured that, cos he's damned proud of his achievement.

0:30:16 > 0:30:18- Yeah.- And he either gives that to his wife

0:30:18 > 0:30:21or maybe wears it in mufti,

0:30:21 > 0:30:23so when he's out and about,

0:30:23 > 0:30:26he's saying, "I've done my bit for the Fatherland."

0:30:26 > 0:30:29Paul, more importantly than all of that,

0:30:29 > 0:30:31- how much did you pay for it? - It's the numbers with you guys!

0:30:31 > 0:30:34You're cold, aren't you? Cut to the chase.

0:30:34 > 0:30:39- I paid £50.- £50. For me, it looks a really nice item.

0:30:39 > 0:30:41How much is it going to sell for, Paul?

0:30:41 > 0:30:44- I reckon that's £50 to £80. - I trust him.- I trust him.

0:30:44 > 0:30:47Anyway, guys, you're cops, you trust everybody.

0:30:49 > 0:30:52We're all innocent until we're proven guilty, right?!

0:30:52 > 0:30:54You don't have to decide now,

0:30:54 > 0:30:56you decide after the sale of your first three items.

0:30:56 > 0:30:59But for the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks

0:30:59 > 0:31:01about Paul's Iron Cross locket.

0:31:01 > 0:31:03Right then, Anita.

0:31:03 > 0:31:07I'd like to reward you the Order of the Iron Cross, first class.

0:31:08 > 0:31:12Do you not realise that a guy would have given this to his sweetheart?

0:31:12 > 0:31:16It is an intriguing business, isn't it, to have a locket,

0:31:16 > 0:31:19clearly to be worn by the wife,

0:31:19 > 0:31:21who wouldn't have been awarded the Iron Cross,

0:31:21 > 0:31:24apart from her duties standing by at home.

0:31:24 > 0:31:27But the thing is, she would have been proud of it,

0:31:27 > 0:31:29if it was a wife or a sweetheart,

0:31:29 > 0:31:31and her husband had been awarded the Iron Cross.

0:31:31 > 0:31:34- And it's a nicely made object. - Yes, it is indeed,

0:31:34 > 0:31:36and it's made of silver and it's ready to go.

0:31:36 > 0:31:40- What's it worth, do you think? - £50 to £80.

0:31:40 > 0:31:44He paid £50, so, typical Paul, he's paid the right price,

0:31:44 > 0:31:47and let's hope for the best if the teams decide to go with it.

0:31:47 > 0:31:51Anyway, that's it for the Reds, now for the Blues.

0:31:51 > 0:31:54The plated set of fish-eaters.

0:31:54 > 0:31:59It's in this very scruffy box, which probably has got nothing to do with

0:31:59 > 0:32:02these mother-of-pearl knives and forks.

0:32:02 > 0:32:06Er, but...if they haven't paid too much for it...

0:32:06 > 0:32:09- They've only paid £13.- Yeah...

0:32:09 > 0:32:12- Which when you think about it is not much.- It's not a lot.- How much?

0:32:12 > 0:32:14- 20 to 30?- OK, perfect.

0:32:14 > 0:32:18Now, moving on to the dress clip...

0:32:18 > 0:32:20I like the fact that it is a metamorphic piece.

0:32:20 > 0:32:23That means that you can use it as a brooch,

0:32:23 > 0:32:28and you can unhinge it, and the mechanism is beautifully done,

0:32:28 > 0:32:33and turn it from a brooch into two dress clips.

0:32:33 > 0:32:37- How much is it worth? - I think 40 to 60

0:32:37 > 0:32:41- is probably a fair estimate. - OK, well, £70 was paid.

0:32:41 > 0:32:44Now, the last thing, which I have to say I really like,

0:32:44 > 0:32:46is the Huntley & Palmers tin.

0:32:46 > 0:32:50I mean, I think that is just the business. I think it's great.

0:32:50 > 0:32:54- Will it clean up, do you think? - I'm not sure. There's rust on it,

0:32:54 > 0:32:56and I think that rust can be a difficult thing.

0:32:56 > 0:32:59If that had been in good condition,

0:32:59 > 0:33:04it would have...the estimate would have been much higher,

0:33:04 > 0:33:06because that is a desirable tin.

0:33:06 > 0:33:08Where do you put the value?

0:33:08 > 0:33:14I put 80 to 120 on that and I think I might have been a bit kind.

0:33:14 > 0:33:17- Oh.- The collectors of biscuit tins

0:33:17 > 0:33:21will be looking very, very carefully at that

0:33:21 > 0:33:24and they may reject it because of the condition.

0:33:24 > 0:33:26£32 is all they spent,

0:33:26 > 0:33:29so they got it, I think, at a jolly good price.

0:33:29 > 0:33:31And I suppose the success of the biscuit tin

0:33:31 > 0:33:33will determine whether they need the bonus buy,

0:33:33 > 0:33:35but let's go and have a look at it anyway.

0:33:35 > 0:33:38You spent 115, which isn't much.

0:33:38 > 0:33:43You gave £185 to Caroline, and I bet you she blew the lot.

0:33:43 > 0:33:45- Caroline.- I didn't, actually!

0:33:45 > 0:33:48You're both looking very expectantly at me.

0:33:48 > 0:33:50I bought something tiny, tiny, tiny,

0:33:50 > 0:33:54but beautiful. It's a silver vinaigrette

0:33:54 > 0:33:56from 1837

0:33:56 > 0:33:58and if you open it up...

0:33:58 > 0:34:00- Have you got it?- Just about, yeah!

0:34:00 > 0:34:06..this beautiful silver gilt pierced little grille here,

0:34:06 > 0:34:07that's a vinaigrette.

0:34:07 > 0:34:10You would have a sponge in there

0:34:10 > 0:34:14soaked in a wonderful-smelling ointment

0:34:14 > 0:34:18and you would be able to hold that to your nose

0:34:18 > 0:34:23- to avoid the smells of the street as you walked along.- Oh, OK.

0:34:23 > 0:34:25So how much did you spend?

0:34:25 > 0:34:27- 115.- OK.

0:34:27 > 0:34:29- Do you think it's going to make money?- Yes, I do.

0:34:29 > 0:34:34- I think it's going to get a minimum of 150, 160.- OK!

0:34:34 > 0:34:36- You like it a bit more now, don't you?- Yeah!

0:34:36 > 0:34:39OK. You don't decide now, you decide later,

0:34:39 > 0:34:41but let's find out for the audience at home

0:34:41 > 0:34:43what the auctioneer thinks about Caroline's vinaigrette.

0:34:43 > 0:34:47Now, Anita, here's something to be sniffed at.

0:34:47 > 0:34:50It's a very nice little object.

0:34:50 > 0:34:56And it would sit beautifully in a little bijouterie cabinet.

0:34:56 > 0:35:00Yeah. So, Anita, a perfectly formed specimen.

0:35:00 > 0:35:02Likely to be worth what at auction?

0:35:02 > 0:35:04- 120 to 180?- Perfect.

0:35:04 > 0:35:07That cunning Caroline paid £115,

0:35:07 > 0:35:09so she's just under your low estimate,

0:35:09 > 0:35:12and with any luck and a fair wind,

0:35:12 > 0:35:15if we've got a decent auctioneer on parade, all will be well.

0:35:15 > 0:35:18- Are you taking the sale today, Anita?- I am indeed.

0:35:18 > 0:35:20I rest my case.

0:35:29 > 0:35:32- Derek, Mark, how are you feeling? - Good.

0:35:32 > 0:35:34- Feeling confident?- Yes.

0:35:34 > 0:35:36The first item is the model boat,

0:35:36 > 0:35:38and here it comes.

0:35:38 > 0:35:40£100? £50?

0:35:40 > 0:35:42Start me at £20.

0:35:42 > 0:35:44£20 for the model. £20.

0:35:44 > 0:35:46£20!

0:35:46 > 0:35:48£20.

0:35:48 > 0:35:50Surely £20!

0:35:50 > 0:35:53Thank you for coming along, sir.

0:35:53 > 0:35:5420 bid.

0:35:54 > 0:35:5620 bid...

0:35:56 > 0:35:58Listen, you're going to have great fun with that.

0:35:59 > 0:36:02Any advance on £20?

0:36:02 > 0:36:04£20...

0:36:04 > 0:36:06£20 is plus £2, it's a profit.

0:36:06 > 0:36:09£55 paid for the epergne, here it comes.

0:36:09 > 0:36:14This magnificent cranberry glass epergne.

0:36:15 > 0:36:20It's beautiful. £150. 150.

0:36:20 > 0:36:22100.

0:36:22 > 0:36:24100, surely?

0:36:24 > 0:36:27She's standing up - never a good sign, that.

0:36:27 > 0:36:3050 bid. Any advance on 50 for the epergne?

0:36:30 > 0:36:33- £50.- This is not looking good, kids.

0:36:33 > 0:36:35- £50?- I can't bear it.

0:36:35 > 0:36:37£50 is minus £5,

0:36:37 > 0:36:39which means overall you're minus £3.

0:36:39 > 0:36:42That's a blip, but a temporary blip.

0:36:42 > 0:36:46Cos here comes the trinket box, and this will make money.

0:36:46 > 0:36:49Start me at 50. Start me at 50.

0:36:49 > 0:36:50With you, madam, at £50.

0:36:50 > 0:36:54- It's beautiful. 50, 60. 70. - You paid 30. You're safe, boys.

0:36:54 > 0:36:58..90, 100. 110, 120, 130.

0:36:59 > 0:37:03130 for the Japanese marquetry box. 130.

0:37:03 > 0:37:07- Any advance on £130? - You found it, Derek.

0:37:07 > 0:37:11- Any advance on 130? - I'd give up the police, mate.

0:37:11 > 0:37:14130, that's a cool plus £100.

0:37:14 > 0:37:17That is the doctor's orders. 100.

0:37:17 > 0:37:21That means now, overall, you're plus 97 squid.

0:37:21 > 0:37:23What are you going to do about the Iron Cross locket?

0:37:23 > 0:37:25- Go for it?- Go for it. - Go for it.- Go for it, yeah.

0:37:25 > 0:37:28This is our chance to unlock

0:37:28 > 0:37:32the worldwide Iron Cross locket market.

0:37:32 > 0:37:35Now, you've decided that, I can tell you the auctioneer's estimate,

0:37:35 > 0:37:36which is £50 to £80.

0:37:36 > 0:37:41So, paid 50, Anita thinks it's £50 to £80 worth.

0:37:41 > 0:37:43You're plus 97, you're going with the bonus buy,

0:37:43 > 0:37:45and here it comes.

0:37:45 > 0:37:47I can start the bidding at 30.

0:37:47 > 0:37:49It's with me on the book at 30.

0:37:49 > 0:37:52Any advance on 30? Where are we?

0:37:52 > 0:37:5540. 50 with me on the book. 50.

0:37:55 > 0:37:5760, the book is out.

0:37:57 > 0:38:00- It's with you, sir, at £60. - Made a profit, Paul, well done.

0:38:00 > 0:38:03- Any advance...?- That's all we need, is £60, well done, Paul.

0:38:03 > 0:38:05£60...

0:38:05 > 0:38:06£60 is plus £10.

0:38:06 > 0:38:09Yet another performance from the man.

0:38:09 > 0:38:1197 plus your tenner is plus 107.

0:38:11 > 0:38:15That could easily, easily be a winning score.

0:38:15 > 0:38:18- But don't say a word to the Blues. - Absolutely not.

0:38:18 > 0:38:19Thank you very much, chaps.

0:38:24 > 0:38:28- Well, girls, do you know how the Reds got on?- No.- No idea.

0:38:28 > 0:38:31Did they look a bit, you know, numb?

0:38:31 > 0:38:33No, they looked a bit smug.

0:38:33 > 0:38:35That's the trouble with policemen, isn't it?

0:38:35 > 0:38:38You never can really tell what they're thinking.

0:38:38 > 0:38:41- So, are we feeling cool? - I think so, yeah.

0:38:41 > 0:38:43First up are the fish-eaters, and here they come.

0:38:43 > 0:38:47The beautiful mother-of-pearl, ladies and gentlemen.

0:38:47 > 0:38:4910 bid, I'll take 10.

0:38:49 > 0:38:52Any advance on 10? 20 on the net.

0:38:52 > 0:38:5430. I'll catch you in a wee minute.

0:38:54 > 0:38:57- 30. On the floor at 30. - I don't believe it.

0:38:57 > 0:38:59With this lady at 30.

0:38:59 > 0:39:0240, the young lady at £40. 40.

0:39:02 > 0:39:05With the lady at £40.

0:39:05 > 0:39:09- £40...- You've just made £27, kids!

0:39:09 > 0:39:12Look at that! £27!

0:39:12 > 0:39:14Now the dress clip.

0:39:14 > 0:39:16This may not be so funny.

0:39:16 > 0:39:20..is this iconic Art Deco dress clip.

0:39:20 > 0:39:23Start me at £20.

0:39:23 > 0:39:2620 bid. 20 on the floor.

0:39:26 > 0:39:2930. 40 online.

0:39:29 > 0:39:3150.

0:39:31 > 0:39:33With you, madam, at £50.

0:39:33 > 0:39:36Any advance on £50?

0:39:36 > 0:39:3860.

0:39:38 > 0:39:41- One more.- Go on, crack on. Go on.

0:39:41 > 0:39:44- 70!- Yes!

0:39:44 > 0:39:46With you, madam, at £70.

0:39:46 > 0:39:48£70...

0:39:48 > 0:39:51Thank you very much, that's very good.

0:39:51 > 0:39:54A wiped face. You were lucky there, girls.

0:39:54 > 0:39:57Now, here comes the globe of the world.

0:39:57 > 0:39:5950 bid.

0:39:59 > 0:40:0250. 60. 70.

0:40:02 > 0:40:0680. 90. 100.

0:40:06 > 0:40:10£100 with the lady for the Huntley & Palmer tin.

0:40:10 > 0:40:12110, fresh bidder.

0:40:33 > 0:40:35That is ridiculous. No, not at all. Well done.

0:40:35 > 0:40:40Are you going to go with the £115 vinaigrette?

0:40:40 > 0:40:42- I think we said we'd go for it. - You're only here once.

0:40:42 > 0:40:45- We're going to do it. - I love the bravery of youth.

0:41:29 > 0:41:32I feel numb.

0:41:38 > 0:41:41Well, this is fun, isn't it? Have you been chatting?

0:41:41 > 0:41:44No? And you don't know who's ahead?

0:41:44 > 0:41:46- We've got quite an idea.- You do?

0:41:46 > 0:41:49We lose at everything we do, so...

0:41:49 > 0:41:53I think that's just such a terrible thing to say, because...

0:41:53 > 0:41:55you're absolutely right!

0:41:56 > 0:41:58Oh, bad luck, chaps.

0:41:58 > 0:42:01I mean, how brilliant to make £107 on Bargain Hunt.

0:42:01 > 0:42:04It is quite something, I tell you.

0:42:04 > 0:42:06There's 105, OK,

0:42:06 > 0:42:09and here comes a couple of smackers. There we go. Lovely.

0:42:09 > 0:42:14Poor Mark. You made £2 on our famous boat,

0:42:14 > 0:42:17£100 profit on that fan-shaped box,

0:42:17 > 0:42:21and then the Iron Cross made you a nice profit of £10 too,

0:42:21 > 0:42:24so overall, plus £107, is magnificent!

0:42:24 > 0:42:26- We've loved it.- We've loved having you on the show.

0:42:26 > 0:42:30You've been great sports. Not quite good enough, though,

0:42:30 > 0:42:34to beat the girls, who go away with £270! There you go.

0:42:34 > 0:42:37- Thank you.- Rach, what are you going to spend it on, darling?

0:42:37 > 0:42:40I don't know, we haven't thought that far ahead!

0:42:40 > 0:42:41- You still in shock?- A little bit.

0:42:41 > 0:42:44Yeah. You just missed your golden gavel -

0:42:44 > 0:42:47you made a profit of £27 on those fish-eaters,

0:42:47 > 0:42:52£98 profit on your lovely tin for the biscuits.

0:42:52 > 0:42:57A profit of £145 on that bonus buy, your vinaigrette, was remarkable.

0:42:57 > 0:42:59- And lots of fun, yeah?- Yeah.
