0:00:03 > 0:00:05Sightseeing around Malvern is thirsty work,
0:00:05 > 0:00:09but luckily you can wet your whistle with the famous local spring water.
0:00:11 > 0:00:15Legend has it that this stuff can be a cure
0:00:15 > 0:00:18for all sorts of aches and pains.
0:00:20 > 0:00:24Well, I don't know about that but I'll drink to the Red
0:00:24 > 0:00:27and Blue teams making a bumper profit and...
0:00:27 > 0:00:30Let's go Bargain Hunting, yeah!
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Today, we are at the Three Counties Showground
0:00:58 > 0:01:03in Malvern for their fantastic antiques fair and flea market.
0:01:03 > 0:01:08But I have to tell you, there are no flies on our teams today.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Oh, no - let's take a sneaky peek as to what is coming up.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15The Reds try to keep things together.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Let's do it.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- Where has Helen gone?- I'm here. - Sorry, Helen. You're behind me.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23- Sorry.- She's still here. - Stay together, OK?
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Ahoy there, me hearties.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27The Blues are all at sea.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Top of the morning.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33- And there are ups and downs at the auction.- 50, sir.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Yes! Profits.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41- But before all that, let's meet our Bargain Hunters.- Thank you.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47Well, we've got some top teams on the show today.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50For the Reds, we have Joel and Helen, and for the Blues,
0:01:50 > 0:01:51we have Thomas and Robyn.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- Hello, everyone. ALL:- Hello!
0:01:53 > 0:01:54Hello, hello.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Now, Joel, it says here you've decided to go back to university
0:01:57 > 0:02:01- and study psychology.- That's correct. - So what prompted all this?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Well, I couldn't actually get into Hogwarts,
0:02:03 > 0:02:06so I thought psychology was the next best thing because I really like
0:02:06 > 0:02:11magic and exploring the human mind and understanding mental illness.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Good. And how is the course going?
0:02:13 > 0:02:16First year done, so hopefully, fingers crossed, I think I did well.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20How does this qualification help you on Bargain Hunt, do you think, today?
0:02:20 > 0:02:23I can probably implement some Jedi mind tricks.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25- You know, try and get the price down.- Really?
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Or maybe free, you never know.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Do you do that thing with the watch?
0:02:29 > 0:02:31No, it's all Crocodile Dundee.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- Oh, is it? OK. Really, it's done on the phone?- Yeah.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35HE LAUGHS
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- I think that is that one. - Oh, it's that one. Sorry.
0:02:38 > 0:02:39What exactly was your gesture?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- Index finger like that.- Oh, index finger. Oh, I see. Exactly.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- You've got to get the nuance right. - Don't do it on there.- No, I won't.
0:02:46 > 0:02:47Helen.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49You should know what other people are thinking also
0:02:49 > 0:02:51cos you're in the same line of business.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53I am. Well, hopefully, anyway.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55I'm currently studying an access course in order to go to
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Cardiff University next year to study psychology.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00So, yes, we are both in similar fields.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- Following in Joel's footsteps. - Indeed, yes.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- And has he inspired you to do this? - Well, he certainly has, yeah.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- It says here you like to do a bit of rocking about.- I sure...
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Well, rocking out. Definitely.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Yes, I've seen hundreds and hundreds of live bands, been to
0:03:14 > 0:03:18more festivals than I can count and just really, really love it.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21It's a real release from day-to-day life.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25- Rocking out is a new expression for me, I have to say.- You should try it.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- I should try it. I should get out more.- Go to some punk gigs.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34- Some punk gigs.- I can see you with the big mohawk.- Funnily enough...
0:03:34 > 0:03:35SHE LAUGHS
0:03:35 > 0:03:37I was only saying the other day,
0:03:37 > 0:03:40I really quite like one of those pink kind of jobs down the middle.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42- That would be marvellous. - You should try it.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44- It would match your glasses. - HE LAUGHS
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Well, there we are. There's a little inspiration. Thank you.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50So, will you be buying items of rock and glamour
0:03:50 > 0:03:51if you could possibly find it?
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Hopefully, yes, if they're out there.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55OK, well, we better stand by our beds.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Anyway, very good luck and lovely to chat to you. Now, Thomas.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02I understand you literally strike gold in your job.
0:04:02 > 0:04:03I try to, my very best.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07So, exploration geologist and my job is to go out...sent off
0:04:07 > 0:04:10to the corners of the world to try and find new mineral deposits.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Your whole life sounds like an adventure,
0:04:12 > 0:04:14but what do you do to relax?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17My job is my hobby as well so I do go off and go prospecting.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Go out camping for the weekends, a bit of gold panning
0:04:21 > 0:04:22and searching as well.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- Odd sapphires as well.- Really?
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Now, Robyn, do I detect a slight Australian twang in your voice?
0:04:28 > 0:04:29Yes, you do indeed.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33So, I grew up in Canberra, which is the capital city of Australia.
0:04:33 > 0:04:34Exactly.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38And, yeah, I spent the last five years in Melbourne. So, yeah.
0:04:38 > 0:04:39- Definitely.- Canberra is lovely.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Yeah, Canberra is really nice.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Yeah, I grew up there, went to school there, so...
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Shout out to all my Canberra people.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48So, yeah, it's a great place to live.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52- So, how did you two meet then, Robyn? - Well, we met about ten years ago.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54- Mm-hmm.- So when we were out one night in Canberra.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57So, my boyfriend is good friends with Tommy as well,
0:04:57 > 0:05:00so, yeah, we just met out one night and connected.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02- Yeah?- It was good fun.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- Now, you two, it says here, are just good friends, right?- Yes.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07But will you be after the shopping?
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Are you going to survive this experience, do you reckon?
0:05:10 > 0:05:11That's a very good question.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14It will test the friendship, there's no doubt.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16But I think that certainly...
0:05:16 > 0:05:18It's lasted ten years and I'm sure it will go much longer than that.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21- Exactly.- What sort of thing are you going to buy then, Robyn?
0:05:21 > 0:05:25We are looking for maybe some nice vintage jewellery, maybe.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27So, yeah, definitely going to keep...
0:05:27 > 0:05:32- Use some of Tommy's experience with...- Rocks.- With rocks.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35This is a country area and you can find just anything around here.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Excellent, thank you.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Anyway, now, the money moment. Kids, £300 apiece. There you go. £300.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45You know the rules. Your experts await and off you go!
0:05:45 > 0:05:47And very, very, very good luck.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Two great teams require two great experts.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Let's hit the jackpot! It's Charles Hanson.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01She's bold as brass. It's Caroline Hawley for the Blues.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- Joel, what's the plan?- Novelty. - Novelty.- Novelty. Fun.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Something creative. Something unique.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11I've got a bit of a soft spot for stuffed animals,
0:06:11 > 0:06:14if Robyn allows me to purchase any.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16- Ah.- No, definitely not. Vetoed.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- Helen?- Some jewellery.- OK. OK. - Definitely something sparkly.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23OK, you two-timing teams, your time starts now.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26Let's shop.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30- Let's make that magic happen. - Let's do it.- Let's do it.- This way.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34The Malvern Fair is a treasure trove chock-a-block with goodies,
0:06:34 > 0:06:39but will our teams splash the cash or keep a rein on that lovely lolly?
0:06:39 > 0:06:42So, are you planning on spending the lot, Tom?
0:06:42 > 0:06:44I think it would be rude not to.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47We don't want to spend too much
0:06:47 > 0:06:49cos, yeah, we are keen to make a profit.
0:06:49 > 0:06:54That's the aim of the game, but the auction can cut teams down to size.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Oh, look at this axe. That's a weapon.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Do you have a fascination with axes, Robyn?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02You lot will need to cool off after an hour of Bargain Hunting.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06Maybe you'll need a cold one, as the Australians say
0:07:06 > 0:07:09- and Charles has just the thing. - Do you enjoy German beer?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Yes...- I do, yeah.- ..I am partial to a German beer.- Really?
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Well, that's a German tankard
0:07:15 > 0:07:19capturing the Bavarian life of the early 20th century,
0:07:19 > 0:07:21but they were even made as tourist items,
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- so not highly valuable. - Yeah.- More decorative.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25More just decorative, but very cheap.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28I'd park that for now, then, Reds.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30But like I say, there's plenty out there.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34- I'm like a little kid. I'm like... - SHE GASPS
0:07:34 > 0:07:37That's all right! You're like what? Do it again.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38No, I'm not doing that again.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Hey, we're all friends here, Robyn,
0:07:40 > 0:07:44although Charles does need to keep a tighter rein on his chums in red.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45Let's do it.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- Where's Helen gone?- I'm here. - Sorry, Helen. You behind me? Sorry.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51- She's still here.- Stay together, OK?
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- That looks quite nice. - What's that? The little...?
0:07:55 > 0:07:59- Little silver, um...- Yeah. - ..manicure set.- That's pretty.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- It's quite novel. - I'm not a massive fan of that.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04I don't know why. It just doesn't capture me.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06- A bit kitsch.- Yeah. - It's quite 1930s.- Yeah.
0:08:06 > 0:08:11- It's dated 1932, but it is a bit... - Yeah.- ..expensive as well. £95.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13- Yes, that's what I thought. - Do you agree?- Yes.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Well, you didn't give him much choice, Carlos.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20- Have we been down there yet? - I don't think so.- No?- No?
0:08:20 > 0:08:21- All right, let's go.- Let's go.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23- It all starts to look a bit samey.- I know.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26You've only been looking for ten minutes, Blues.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28The trick is to find a diamond in the rough.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31So, what do you think of the jewellery box?
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- It looks quite nice.- Yeah? - I say! That's novel-looking.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36- It's got some damage on the inlay.- OK.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- That's going to knock it.- Oh, OK.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42Keep going, Blues. I'm sure there's a gem out there somewhere.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Meanwhile, Charles is on the charm offensive.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46May we browse your stands?
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- Are you married?- Do you remember me? I'm the one who called you handsome.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51- ALL LAUGH - Yes, you came round.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- You should hear what she said. - What did you call him?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- Nice and handsome, didn't you? - Handsome.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- Get out of here! - You don't get discount, though.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00Oh, get out of here!
0:09:00 > 0:09:02- We quite like your Worcester, don't we?- We do.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06May I show you that jug there? The one in the middle? Lovely.
0:09:06 > 0:09:11- Joel, do you like it?- I do actually like that, yes. That is very pretty.
0:09:11 > 0:09:16- So, what we've got here is an Edwardian, porcelain...- Yeah.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19..tapered, ornamental jug.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22But you must love it and that face, to me, says, "I don't."
0:09:22 > 0:09:27- We need our first item.- We do. - But don't worry.- If you like it...
0:09:27 > 0:09:29- I do like that a lot, yes. - ..we can perhaps go for it.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31- I don't like it, but if we can... - What's your best price?
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Very, very low. I'll do 90. I think there's money in that.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36- It's just a bit too much.- Yeah.- OK.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40- Because we've got to try and make money.- 85.- Really?- Yes.
0:09:40 > 0:09:46- We're so close.- How close are you? - 60?- No, can't do 60.- 65?
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- 85 is best. - I think my lady says no...- OK.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- ..because the aesthetic isn't there.- Fair enough.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54And the price is great,
0:09:54 > 0:09:58but I think we could just to do with another maybe 10 or £15 of.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Your charm will only get you so far, Carlos.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Maybe the Blues will have better luck.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Quite like that vase.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- You like what?- The vase. - The vase? "Vahz." Vase.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- Yeah, I know. Sorry.- "Vahz." Vase. You say vase.- Sound very fancy.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15- Australian twang. - Yeah, no, it's my accent.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19It has £20 on it. I think it's quite expensive.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- I agree.- It's not very old at all... - No, it's not.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- ..so it needs to be much less. - OK. All right.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- What would be your best price for that?- I could do it for 15.
0:10:28 > 0:10:33- It would be 14 possibly? - Go on, then. Yes, I can.- Excellent.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35- Thank you so much.- You're welcome.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- Very decisive. Found it, bought it. - That's right.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41IN AUSTRALIAN ACCENT: You little beauty, Robyn.
0:10:41 > 0:10:4520 minutes down and one in the bag. Reds, you're playing catch up.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49- That's really interesting. - Yeah, I like that.- Is it old, madam?
0:10:49 > 0:10:53- I'd like you to tell me.- Oh, crikey! - Here we go. On the spot now.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55- It would look very good in an office.- Oh, I say!- Oh, wow!
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- That's really interesting. - Isn't that neat?- Yeah, definitely.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- What's your price on that? - 60-ish.- 60.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03- It's really interesting.- That is.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05I would think that would sell well. It is nice.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- I mean, it's been really well made.- Yes.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12- I've never seen a bottle stand or decanter box...- Yes.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14..of this type before.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16But what I like are the handles
0:11:16 > 0:11:19and the handles, I think, are the giveaway...
0:11:19 > 0:11:23- Yeah.- ..in that it's probably Japanese or Chinese.
0:11:23 > 0:11:28- Has it got a best price on it, madam?- 55 is the very lowest.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32- Would you lower the price a bit? - I'm sorry, I have to stick at 55.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- It will work.- It's unique.- 45?
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- No? OK.- No.- You wouldn't go 50?- 50?
0:11:40 > 0:11:44- 50's a great offer. - I paid 50 for it.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- Oh, did you really? - 52.- 52 all in?
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- Shall we say going... - ALL:- Going, gone.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Hurrah! Your first purchase.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Don't get drunk with excitement, though.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59You're only halfway through and you've still got two to go,
0:11:59 > 0:12:02but you'll be amazed at what you can find at this fair.
0:12:10 > 0:12:15Now, what about this as an intriguing piece of treen?
0:12:15 > 0:12:21This is probably either holly or box and on the end, this is bovine bone.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Now, this bovine bone
0:12:24 > 0:12:28would have come from a leftover bone at an abattoir
0:12:28 > 0:12:32when they killed the beasts and rendered the fat and flesh.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34The bones were left over
0:12:34 > 0:12:38and these were sometimes toasted into ash,
0:12:38 > 0:12:41but then became bone meal as a fertiliser
0:12:41 > 0:12:44and sometimes, the larger bones were taken away
0:12:44 > 0:12:48and used for another purpose, as in this instance.
0:12:48 > 0:12:53Note this thing has got a turned thread at the top
0:12:53 > 0:12:57and if I undo it from its holly or boxwood bottom,
0:12:57 > 0:13:01it reveals a strange-looking scoop,
0:13:01 > 0:13:05the idea being that you use the thread on the end
0:13:05 > 0:13:07to go back into the handle.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09But what would you use that scoop for?
0:13:10 > 0:13:14Every gentleman in the 18th century, if he was travelling,
0:13:14 > 0:13:16would have one of these in his pocket
0:13:16 > 0:13:21because almost everywhere he went for a snack,
0:13:21 > 0:13:23he would find one of these.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26And, of course, today, if we eat an apple,
0:13:26 > 0:13:30we eat it down to the core and then we chuck the core away.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34Well, in the 17th and 18th century, they didn't like to do that.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37A gentleman liked to have one of these things,
0:13:37 > 0:13:43so that he could literally take the core out on the hoof like this.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Ram that into the apple. Give it a little bit of a turn.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49That goes about halfway through. Get rid of the core.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Go down to this end. Ram it in there like that.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Give it a bit of a turn. Take it out there.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Get rid of the core. Easy.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01And what you have is an apple which has no core
0:14:01 > 0:14:04and that means that when I come to eat it,
0:14:04 > 0:14:07there is no core to throw away,
0:14:07 > 0:14:11but I can eat every single part of the delicious apple.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Now, I have to own up to something.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17For years, I've harboured a secret desire
0:14:17 > 0:14:20to own an 18th-century apple corer,
0:14:20 > 0:14:26but I've never been able to find one at the right price until today
0:14:26 > 0:14:31because this thing, which I found here, cost £35.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Is that expensive?
0:14:33 > 0:14:38Not really, when you consider that every other one I've ever found
0:14:38 > 0:14:41has been priced at more than 100.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45In fact, you could say this thing is thoroughly golden and delicious.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Back to the shopping and with one item apiece and 30 minutes left,
0:14:49 > 0:14:53our teams need another buy to keep their shopping on an even keel.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Oh! I hadn't seen that. That's nice.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01- I think that looks great. - I like it.- I think it's fantastic.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- It's all right.- Come on. Tell him you love it.- I love it.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- Let's see how much we can get it for.- You love it too?- It's great.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10I've got a long lineage of naval officers in my family...
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- Have you?- ..and so a very fitting piece.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15- It looks magnificent. Very smart. - Does it fit on your head?
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Well, shall we have a look?
0:15:18 > 0:15:20He's not going to take it off. You do know that.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22- SHE LAUGHS - Ahoy there, me hearties.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25I like the cut of your jib, Captain Tom.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- Top of the morning. - HE LAUGHS
0:15:27 > 0:15:29- All right, let's see. - I'm quite taken by this.
0:15:29 > 0:15:34Bicorn hats were worn by naval officers from the late 1800s.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37I wonder who set sail with this one on their head.
0:15:38 > 0:15:43- He sailed with Nelson, he did. - This guy?- Did he?- Tom...
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Yes, he was on the Trafalgar.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49- In Trafalgar? - He was on the Trafalgar.- OK.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51We'll have to take your word for that.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54- If the price is right.- 350.- 350?
0:15:54 > 0:15:56£350?
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Maybe you should give it a wide berth, eh, Blues?
0:15:58 > 0:16:02- We have got 286 left.- £286.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06We've got two items to buy and I need a little bit.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09That needs to be 280.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10What's the death price?
0:16:10 > 0:16:15- Death would be 295.- 295.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- WOMEN GROAN - No, we can't do it.
0:16:17 > 0:16:18That is, by all means, the death, isn't it?
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- Thank you very much for your time.- That's OK.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Bad luck, Blues. You can't win them all.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Life must go on.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28But wait. Is Caroline coming to the rescue?
0:16:28 > 0:16:29Oh, my gosh.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31- Hey, you two. You two!- Yes?
0:16:31 > 0:16:35- I've got some news that is going to make you smile.- Really?
0:16:35 > 0:16:37- He's going to take your 280. - All right, let's go.
0:16:37 > 0:16:42Go and do your deal, then. Go on. Quick! Before he changes his mind.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44- Oh, my... - HE LAUGHS
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Thank you very much, sir. Very happy with that purchase.
0:16:47 > 0:16:52- We'll do Nelson proud.- Oh! Thank you so much. We appreciate it.
0:16:52 > 0:16:53Now, what have we got left?
0:16:53 > 0:16:56We've got six pounds left to buy two...
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Well, to buy your third item
0:16:58 > 0:17:01and to leave me a little bit to buy a bonus buy.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Looks like we're shopping for a postage stamp.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05HE LAUGHS
0:17:05 > 0:17:09That would be fine, Thomas, if you thought it would post a profit.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- I love these boxes in here. Aren't they gorgeous?- They are.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16I love them. I really like them.
0:17:16 > 0:17:21They're almost like little patch boxes, little pillboxes.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24And these are real antiques because they go back to the 18th century.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28- They were made in Bilston in the West Midlands.- Yeah.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32- They are enamel on copper in the main.- Yeah.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Some will have mirrors in their backs.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38- Which one do you like?- I like this one. That one's lovely, yeah.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43- What does it say on it? - "Have communion with few
0:17:43 > 0:17:45"Be familiar with one
0:17:45 > 0:17:48"Deal justly with all Speak evil of none."
0:17:48 > 0:17:53- That's quite pretty. I like it. - And that's a verse from around 1785.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57What I like about this box is you've got the...
0:17:57 > 0:18:02We almost call a bellflower or laurel leaf green border.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04We have had some restoration here. Can you see?
0:18:04 > 0:18:09- Yeah.- It's been restored off-white and that's why it's a bit cheaper.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11But I do like this green ground as well.
0:18:11 > 0:18:16- It is nice.- It's a good box. And that's, again, about 1790.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Would you do 60 on this?
0:18:19 > 0:18:23- What's on the ticket?- 75 on there. - Yeah, 60's all right.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24It's a real antique
0:18:24 > 0:18:29and I would guide it to fetch between £50-£80.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32- OK, so, a small profit. - So, I do, if I was a gambling man,
0:18:32 > 0:18:33- see a profit.- Let's do it.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- Thank you very much, sir. - Thanks, sir. Thanks a lot, yeah.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Very good man. Thanks a lot. Sorry.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Cheeky Charlie strikes again.
0:18:41 > 0:18:46His team have one buy left and £188 in the kitty.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48The Blues? Well, they're not as flush.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52You now have the challenge of trying to find us something very cheap
0:18:52 > 0:18:54- that turns a very big profit. - Or the other thing is
0:18:54 > 0:18:56we have to leave some money for Caroline as well.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59So, perhaps, if we spend one pound
0:18:59 > 0:19:02and then we'll leave you the generous portion of five pounds.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04- Thank you. Thank you so much. - Are we happy with that? OK.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06I'm a bit nervous about this,
0:19:06 > 0:19:09but maybe the Reds have something to settle those jitters.
0:19:09 > 0:19:14- Well...- "The magnetic machine for nervous and other diseases."
0:19:14 > 0:19:16- SHE LAUGHS - Nervous diseases.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18- I'm not that way inclined. - It gives you a nice shock.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21I can imagine it does, yeah, but time's against us.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Yeah, I don't want to shock you,
0:19:23 > 0:19:26but there's just over 15 minutes left.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28There's a nice little butterfly brooch in there,
0:19:28 > 0:19:32- but I doubt that's... - In this gilt one here?- Mm.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35How much is your butterfly, please?
0:19:38 > 0:19:41- That is £10.- Oh, look at that. £10.
0:19:41 > 0:19:42That's really pretty.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45- Is that the sort of thing you like? - Yeah, I quite like that.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47It looks like it's silver filigree
0:19:47 > 0:19:50or silver-gilt filigree, but it's not.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53It'll be just, you know, sort of gold-plated here.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55The only problem is we have a bit of a conundrum
0:19:55 > 0:19:58being on somewhat of a tight budget.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Would it be at all possible
0:20:00 > 0:20:05to offer a price of the grand sum of five pounds?
0:20:05 > 0:20:08- That's absolutely fine, yeah. - Well...
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- Pardon?- Yeah.- Well, that's wonderful. There we are.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14- We've left you with one pound.- Yeah. - BLUES LAUGH
0:20:14 > 0:20:17I didn't even see that happening. What have you done?
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Well, thank you so much. We'll settle up
0:20:20 > 0:20:22and we'll go and have a sit down, shall we?
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Let's do that. I think we all need a cup of tea after this experience.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27I need to get my head round spending a pound.
0:20:28 > 0:20:33Bravo, Blues, but can you afford a celebratory brew?
0:20:33 > 0:20:36The Reds certainly haven't got time for a tea break.
0:20:36 > 0:20:41We need one more item and we've got five minutes to go.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44- Do you want the dog?- The dog? - No, we're OK for a dog.
0:20:44 > 0:20:45No, no, we're OK for a dog.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Chop, chop, Reds. The Blues are already taking it easy.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52- Ah!- Couple of things, eh?
0:20:53 > 0:20:55- You were a slow burner, weren't you, Robyn?- That's right.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Were you worried about us?
0:20:57 > 0:20:59I was worried more than a little, I have to say.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01- Oh, we're just keeping you on your toes.- Yes.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04That's right, Robyn, but our experts aren't mugs.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Normally.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- Oh, that's nice. Oh, I love that.- Yeah?
0:21:10 > 0:21:12- Oh! - HE LAUGHS
0:21:12 > 0:21:18Oh, no! I saw it. I thought, "This is great. It is £50."
0:21:18 > 0:21:21And I was all set to buy it and it says there two...
0:21:21 > 0:21:23I missed the two off. It's 250.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25- It is beautiful, but...- It is.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- ..it's a bit rich for our money. - Yeah. Thank you, sir. What a shame.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Come on, Charles. You haven't got time for all of this.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33The end is nigh.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- Thank you very much.- Thank you. - Here we go. Oh, that's pretty.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- Yeah, it is nice.- That's nice, guys. - Probably Victorian.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43- Does the box come with it as well? - No, afraid not.- No? What a shame.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47- She looks a little solemn. - It's probably 1890.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51What's quite peculiar is you've got the three oval panels
0:21:51 > 0:21:55of almost what appears to be a Bohemian peasant maybe.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- It's hand-painted.- Hand-painted. - It's very interesting.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01There is a little damage on it, though, up here.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03But considering the damage,
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- what would be the best price you could do?- £30.- £30?
0:22:06 > 0:22:08- Could we get it with the box for £35?- What do you...
0:22:08 > 0:22:11- I'm afraid not.- ..think, Charles? - Quite unusual.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- Yes.- Is there any way, given the damage,
0:22:15 > 0:22:17you could possibly do 25?
0:22:17 > 0:22:21- 28.- You couldn't magic a box for us?
0:22:21 > 0:22:25- 31, then.- Oh, I say! Shake her hand. Quick!
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- We'll do it. Thank you ever so much. - Thanks a lot.- Thank you.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Thanks a lot. You've saved us.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32- You've saved us. - Thank you.- Thanks a lot.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37- Time's up, teams.- Well done, team. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Let's check out what those red swingers bought, eh?
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Case closed.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45The Reds splashed £52 on this novelty drinks cabinet.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Will it cover a multitude of sins?
0:22:49 > 0:22:52The enamel patch box was bought for £60
0:22:52 > 0:22:56and they're pinning their hopes on this brooch, which cost £31.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00- Did you have a good time?- We had a great time.- It was brilliant.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Now, Hells Bells, which is your favourite piece?
0:23:03 > 0:23:07I really liked the first piece that we got - the wine holder.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09It's just so interesting.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11I know it doesn't have much age to it, but I liked it a lot.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Who cares? REDS LAUGH
0:23:13 > 0:23:16I agree with that. It's very unique and quite fun, isn't it?
0:23:16 > 0:23:18- Yeah.- Good. Well, that's nice, isn't it?- Yes.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Is that going to bring the biggest profit?
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Probably not. I think that little brooch we got,
0:23:22 > 0:23:24that was probably the biggest profit.
0:23:24 > 0:23:25- I think so, yeah.- Yeah.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27If people can see past the little bit of damage,
0:23:27 > 0:23:29then hopefully we'll get a profit on there.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Damage? Charles? REDS LAUGH
0:23:32 > 0:23:36- Damage?- Tim, life's a journey. Of antiques too.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Yeah, not too bad.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42- And how much did you spend? - We spent £143.- Yes.- You spent 143?
0:23:42 > 0:23:46So, I'd like £157, please, of leftover lolly.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48- There you go.- Cor! Look at that.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Goodness me, Tim. They're £50 notes, aren't they?
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Your favourite colour, Charles.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- Crikey!- What are you going to do with all that money, Charles?
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Well, Tim, with my team beside me,
0:23:57 > 0:24:01something mentally invigorating, something mentally stimulating.
0:24:01 > 0:24:02That sounds interesting.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06- Oh, Lordy!- I'm intrigued. - Too clever for me, Charles, by half.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Anyway, on that happy note, good luck, Charles.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:24:11 > 0:24:17The Blues say vase. We say "vahz". By the way, it cost £14.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Batten down the hatches. Will this £280 navel hat
0:24:22 > 0:24:25leave the Blues all at sea or on the crest of a wave?
0:24:27 > 0:24:29And it only cost a fiver,
0:24:29 > 0:24:32but could this butterfly brooch take off at auction?
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Well, you are magnificent, you two, aren't you?
0:24:36 > 0:24:38- What tornadoes! What!- What?
0:24:38 > 0:24:42We were very slow tornadoes at first and picked up a bit of momentum.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Yeah, but once you're ignited, I tell you...
0:24:44 > 0:24:46You antipodean girls. I don't know.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Anyway, which is your favourite piece?
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Personally, I quite like the vase that I picked out first.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53- I'm standing by my item, so...- Good.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56You stand by your vase, or should we say "vahz".
0:24:56 > 0:24:58"Vahz." Oh!
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Thomas, which is your favourite?
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Definitely the Royal Navy officer's hat.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04- I think it's magnificent. - OK. That's your favourite.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07- Will it bring the biggest profit? - No guarantee with that one,
0:25:07 > 0:25:09but I certainly think it's the nicest item.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11But perhaps I think actually the brooch
0:25:11 > 0:25:12might bring the biggest profit.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14- Do you agree with that? - I think so. Maybe, yeah.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- Yeah? OK, maybe.- Sure. - THEY LAUGH
0:25:17 > 0:25:18Pretty shifty.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21OK, fine. And you spent magnificently.
0:25:21 > 0:25:27- How much exactly was that again? - Um, £299.- You spent 299!
0:25:27 > 0:25:29I can't bear it! One pound of leftover lolly.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Look at that. THEY LAUGH
0:25:32 > 0:25:36Make sure it's not... Make sure it's not got chocolate inside it. OK.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39- Well, this is your challenge. - Thank you, Tim.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41- You do love this, don't you, Caroline?- I do.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- I've got the whole fair to go at. - You certainly have.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46- Let's hope they'll be sympathetic to you.- Yes, I hope so.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48And you better look lively
0:25:48 > 0:25:51because we're heading only down the road
0:25:51 > 0:25:52to the auction at Phil Serrell's.
0:25:57 > 0:25:58Well, this is fun, isn't it?
0:25:58 > 0:26:01We've trotted to Malvern to be with my old mate Philip Serrell.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04- Philip, how the devil are you? - All the better for seeing you.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06- Lovely to see you.- You are so sweet.
0:26:06 > 0:26:12Now, first up for Joel and Helen is this modern decanter box thing.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Does that tick all the boxes for you?
0:26:14 > 0:26:17It doesn't tick any, actually. I tell you what it reminds me of.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21- You know those old War Department sort of munitions boxes?- Yes.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23When it came in, I thought it was one of those.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27- How much did they pay for that, Tim? - They paid £52 for it.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29I would have thought that was £42 too much.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32- Well, there it is. Joel loved it. - Good old Joel.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36£52 worth of love. Your estimate is...?
0:26:36 > 0:26:38- Oh, £10-£20.- £10-£20.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42- Now, Worcestershire is not so far from Staffordshire.- No.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46And Staffordshire is where the very best enamels came from.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48I like that little box.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51The motto on it is a bit perhaps too severe for me, but I don't know.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53That might make it more collectable, perhaps.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56The buyer for this, I'm guessing, won't be in the room.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59They'll either be commission bidding or on the internet.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01- They've got a huge collection of these things.- Yes.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05And I knocked it. I put £20-£40 as an estimate on it...
0:27:05 > 0:27:07- Cos it's got a crack in it. - ..because of the damage.- Yeah.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09But if you've got one or two people
0:27:09 > 0:27:12who want that particular thing to complete their collection,
0:27:12 > 0:27:14then it could go and make £50 plus, couldn't it?
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Well, it needs to cos they paid 60.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20- Anyway, there we go. Thank you, Phil. It's got some hope.- Yes.
0:27:20 > 0:27:25- Now, the bar brooch - this is absolutely ace, isn't it?- Yes.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27It's just that little bit of damage again, isn't it?
0:27:27 > 0:27:29I think it's £30-£40 or something like that.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32- If you get 30 or £40, they'll be very pleased...- Really?
0:27:32 > 0:27:34- ..cos they only paid £31. - Oh, well, that's OK.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37- It's not the right box, right?- No. - It's got a little bit of damage.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40- Anyway, 30 to 50, you're saying? - Yeah.- £31, they paid.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43That could be what saves their bacon,
0:27:43 > 0:27:46but in case not, let's go and have a look at the bonus buy.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52Now, Joel, sadly, Helen can't be with us.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55- No, no. Just me today. - H for Helen. H for Hepplewhite.
0:27:55 > 0:27:56We'll stick with the Hepplewhite chair
0:27:56 > 0:27:59and pretend that Helen is the Hepplewhite chair.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01- Yes. She's here in spirit. - Anyway, moving on.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Now, you spent £143
0:28:04 > 0:28:08and £157 went to Charles to buy the bonus buy.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10- Charles, what did you buy? - And again, Joel, I wanted something
0:28:10 > 0:28:14which was a real jewel in the crown
0:28:14 > 0:28:17and I found this, which I thought was mesmerising.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Oh, wow. That's beautiful.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22- Yeah, I really like that. That's...- Why?- It's very classy.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24It doesn't look cheap at all.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27- And, of course, you bought it with Helen in mind, didn't you?- I did.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29- It being the uber-sensitive feminine. - She would love it.
0:28:29 > 0:28:30She would love it.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33And she will love it, I'm sure, when she sees it.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37It's quality, it's heavy with the sea pearls and the amethyst.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41And, again, importantly, it's not nine carat.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43- It's 15 carat gold.- Really?
0:28:43 > 0:28:46- And I just feel it's a beauty. - No, you did well there.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48- I really like that. - Really?- Yes. That's lovely.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52- How much did you pay for this? - It cost me £150,
0:28:52 > 0:28:55- so I almost spent the entire leftover...- Nearly.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57- Nearly the whole lot. - Exactly.- Mm.- Yeah.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01- But it's a risk strategy, isn't it, Charles?- It is.- You've invested.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05- I would rather go with a finale and go with a bang.- Yeah.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08- And hopefully with this, there could be an explosion of profit.- Why not?
0:29:08 > 0:29:11- Well, we'll see how the auction goes.- Exactly.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14Wait until after the sale of your first three items.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16But right now, let's find out
0:29:16 > 0:29:21what our silver fox auctioneer thinks about Charles' pendant.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26- Well, that looks fancy, doesn't it? - Yeah, it's an interesting thing.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28I mean, I haven't catalogued this.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31We have a jewellery consultant who does all of our jewellery, so...
0:29:31 > 0:29:33He says that this is a very nice thing,
0:29:33 > 0:29:37Edwardian amethyst and seed pearls, 15-carat pendant
0:29:37 > 0:29:39and it is going to make between 100
0:29:39 > 0:29:42- and £150, he says. - OK, well, good for him.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46Because it needs to make £150 because Charles,
0:29:46 > 0:29:50bless his heart, for the bonus buy really rates it.
0:29:50 > 0:29:55He obviously thinks it's £150-£200 and we will hope for the best.
0:29:55 > 0:30:00Now, moving on to the Blues we have Thomas and Robyn
0:30:00 > 0:30:03and a good selection of objects.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06The glass vases first. Very blue.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09- It is definitely blue.- Very team colours.- Very team colours.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12A bit too pale for me at the top part, though, really.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14You can pick up this decorative art anywhere and I just think,
0:30:14 > 0:30:16I mean, for me, it's 10 or £20 worth.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18I don't think it's particularly fine.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21Well, I don't know. I mean, glass is such an oddball subject, isn't it?
0:30:21 > 0:30:26What ticks one person's box often doesn't another.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29I think this stuff doesn't make much money.
0:30:29 > 0:30:33I mean, the team only paid £14, you have put £10-£20 on it,
0:30:33 > 0:30:36but somewhere in it is a quality.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38It's a good, fun object and I wish you well with it, Phil.
0:30:38 > 0:30:43Next, and, of course, their big pound item
0:30:43 > 0:30:46is the naval officer's hat and tin box.
0:30:46 > 0:30:47I love that. I do.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50I mean, you can see just these tin boxes
0:30:50 > 0:30:52and you can see that these are £50-£80.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55We've done a little bit of research on these and you can find them
0:30:55 > 0:30:57making between 250 and 300.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59I've not sold one before, I think that the fact
0:30:59 > 0:31:02that you've got box and hat together,
0:31:02 > 0:31:04it's just a question of whether they'd put all their eggs
0:31:04 > 0:31:06into one hat.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09Well, they only had the 300 eggs
0:31:09 > 0:31:12and 280 of the eggs went into that basket.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14Let's just hope we don't scramble them.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17Both team members loved it, they're prepared to take the chance
0:31:17 > 0:31:21and as a result they only spent a minimal amount of money
0:31:21 > 0:31:23on this wee brooch.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26The filigree pendant brooch, how do you rate that?
0:31:26 > 0:31:29It's something or nothing, isn't it? We put £5-£10 on it.
0:31:29 > 0:31:30I think our minimum bid's five pounds
0:31:30 > 0:31:33- so they should get their money back, shouldn't they?- They should do.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35They only had a minimal amount left.
0:31:35 > 0:31:39They had six pounds left, they spent five pounds on the butterfly.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42You think the butterfly might make five or ten pounds.
0:31:42 > 0:31:43That is absolutely perfect
0:31:43 > 0:31:46because it's only left poor Caroline with one pound.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49That's a real challenge to find something for a pound.
0:31:49 > 0:31:50It is, isn't it?
0:31:50 > 0:31:53Let's find out what she did find for one pound.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Now, you cheeky ones.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01The one-pound bonus buy challenge for Caroline Hawley.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Caroline, presumably you've spent the whole pound.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08I did, I did! It was hard to do but I did it for you.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10- Ready?- Ready.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13- Oh, my goodness. Look at that. - What is it?
0:32:13 > 0:32:15- It looks like it's worth more than a pound.- It does!
0:32:15 > 0:32:18Now, that is very good.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20It is really lovely quality.
0:32:20 > 0:32:24- It is engine-turned silver-plated. - Wow!
0:32:24 > 0:32:28HMS and it is a cigarette case,
0:32:28 > 0:32:30but you could use it for all manner of things.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32You could put business cards in it,
0:32:32 > 0:32:35you could use it as a photograph frame.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37- It is just really nice quality.- It's lovely.
0:32:37 > 0:32:38You've done really well.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40- I'm very impressed!- Thank you!
0:32:40 > 0:32:43I can see people wanting to use this, I think it's fantastic.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45- I wouldn't mind it myself, to be honest.- Good, good.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Because, of course, you get these in 18 and nine-carat gold
0:32:48 > 0:32:50and in the solid silver.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52I mean, they were incredibly popular at the time,
0:32:52 > 0:32:54- weren't they, cigarette cases?- Yes.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57HMS is a good enough inscription, isn't it?
0:32:57 > 0:33:01For any former naval person is going to love it.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04And without being specific to ship or person, so if you're going to
0:33:04 > 0:33:07have any initials on it, they are the ones to have, I guess.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10Yes, and it's got a lot going for it, my little thing for a pound.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13- Definitely.- How much does she think it's going to bring?
0:33:13 > 0:33:15- There's a good question. - It is a good question.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18I think it's going to bring at least a tenner.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20- At least a tenner.- At least a tenner.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23- So a tenfold profit you're predicting.- Yes!
0:33:23 > 0:33:26- We'll take that.- Well, good stuff anyway.- Excellent, thanks.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Very exciting and I just say well done, Caroline,
0:33:28 > 0:33:31for finding that particular object for a pound, I'd say.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33Anyway, for the audience at home,
0:33:33 > 0:33:35let's find out what the auctioneer thinks.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39OK, Phil, take it away.
0:33:39 > 0:33:40As a cigarette box it is useless,
0:33:40 > 0:33:43but what a great business card holder.
0:33:43 > 0:33:44Yes.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46- It would just fit into the pocket, wouldn't it?- It would.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49My view is stick two photographs in that,
0:33:49 > 0:33:50put that beside your bed
0:33:50 > 0:33:55and there you have on your travels her and the kids.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59It's a great idea, isn't it? And for a pound, Phil. Nuts.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01- What'll it bring?- It's got to make...
0:34:01 > 0:34:02Well, our minimum bid is five pounds
0:34:02 > 0:34:04so there's got to be a profit there.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06- 5, 10, 15, £20, I reckon.- Yeah.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08- And all for a pound, good old Caroline.- Well done her.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10If the team decide to go with it,
0:34:10 > 0:34:12which we will find out in just a minute.
0:34:15 > 0:34:1645, 50, sir.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21- Well, Joel, Helen.- Helen.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23- This is it.- Yes.- How are you feeling?
0:34:23 > 0:34:26Yeah, really excited, I've not done this before, so...
0:34:26 > 0:34:28- You've never been to an auction? - No. Never before in my life.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30- Have you not?- No. It's my first one.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33Your first item coming up is the novelty drinks cabinet
0:34:33 > 0:34:35- and here it comes.- Come on, Phil.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Bid me for this, who's got £50 for it?
0:34:39 > 0:34:41- It's novel.- Who's got £40 for it?
0:34:41 > 0:34:42Oh, no.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Who's got £30?
0:34:44 > 0:34:45Oh, dear.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47Who's got £20?
0:34:47 > 0:34:49Yes, sir!
0:34:49 > 0:34:52Well, we found him. Is there any more?
0:34:52 > 0:34:54- 25.- Yes!
0:34:54 > 0:34:5625. One more.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58At £30 only. No, somebody's pulled the plug out.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00At £30 only. At 30.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03At £30 and I sell then at 30.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05- And thank you.- Thank you, Philip.
0:35:05 > 0:35:06- 411.- That's not too bad.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08Well, minus 22.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11- The chase is on now, Tim. - Now, the patch box.
0:35:11 > 0:35:12- This is more interesting.- I love this.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14- And here it comes.- This can move.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17Patch box. I am bid. £40 bid.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19At 40. 5. 50. 50 bid.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21- Come on.- Here we go.- 60.
0:35:21 > 0:35:22- 60 bid. 70.- Yes!
0:35:22 > 0:35:24- 80. 80 bid.- That's more like it.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27- At £80 only.- Come on!- At 80. 80 bid.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29And 90. 100.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31100. One more on the net.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33At £100 only. I'm waiting for the net.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36Here's the bid. At £100.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39And I sell then at £100 and done.
0:35:39 > 0:35:40- Thank you.- Yes!- Which is £40.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42- Good.- That's good.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45- £40, Hels. Well done.- Hells Bells. - Yep, that's good.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48- So that means now you are plus 18. - Fantastic.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50And we go forward to the bar brooch.
0:35:50 > 0:35:51Bid me £30.
0:35:53 > 0:35:54Well, 20, someone. Quickly.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56It's nothing at 20. 20 bid.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58At 20, the hand I took. And 5.
0:35:58 > 0:36:0125. 25.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03At £25, any more?
0:36:03 > 0:36:04At 30.
0:36:04 > 0:36:0730 bid. £30. £30. £30.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10And 5. 35. 35. 35.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13At £35. And done in at 35.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15And done. Thank you.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17- Fantastic.- Well done, Hels. - There we go.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20- We're one man down, Tim, but we are...- Plus £4, Helen.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22- On her pick.- Thank you.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25Which means you are plus 22, that's very respectable.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27- What are you going to do about the pendant?- Let's do it.
0:36:27 > 0:36:28- Let's go for it.- Do you reckon?
0:36:28 > 0:36:30Helen would like it if she was here today.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33- You think she would like it, though? - She would.- Really?- I believe so.
0:36:33 > 0:36:34- You think so?- Yes.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36I'm going to go for it.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38Now that you've decided, I'm afraid I have to tell you
0:36:38 > 0:36:41that the auctioneer's estimate is 100 to 150.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43So he sees it as a bit under, but anyway,
0:36:43 > 0:36:45there's lots of jewellery in the sale.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47Let us hope that we're going to get some decent bids.
0:36:47 > 0:36:48- Here we go.- We'll pray in the church.
0:36:48 > 0:36:53£110 I am started. At £110 for the pendant.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55120, 130, thank you.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57- At 130, 40.- Yes!
0:36:57 > 0:37:01- 150 now. At 140. 140.- One more.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03- Any more? At £140.- Go on!
0:37:03 > 0:37:05Any more at all?
0:37:05 > 0:37:07At £140, on the contraption
0:37:07 > 0:37:09and done in at £140.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11- £140.- Thank you.
0:37:11 > 0:37:12Minus £10.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16I'm afraid that reduces the net to plus 12.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20But it is got plus in front of it which is very nice.
0:37:20 > 0:37:25- You and Helen are going home with cash.- We are.
0:37:25 > 0:37:29Whether it's enough to win the show, is that a winning score or not?
0:37:29 > 0:37:30We will find out later.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32- Just don't say anything to the Blues. - Not a word.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37At 250, 250.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45You are pretty cool, aren't you, Robyn, really?
0:37:45 > 0:37:47I like to think so, yes. So are you, though!
0:37:47 > 0:37:50- You've got this glass vase.- I don't want to outshine the others.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53No, come on. Take a bit of credit where it's due, gorgeous.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56OK, now, that glass vase, £14 you paid for it.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59I really rate that thing. He has put £10-£20 on it.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01I think you will get 30-£40 for that any day of the week.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03- You think so?- It's beautifully made.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05Yep, lovely colours and all the rest of it.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08- Here we go.- Now, here comes the glass vase.

0:38:35 > 0:38:37HE LAUGHS
0:38:37 > 0:38:39I thought it would do better.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41Minus £4.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44- Robyn.- Yes.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47Going to have to be strong here, girl.

0:38:50 > 0:38:51Where is that from?
0:38:51 > 0:38:54You're all heart, you, aren't you? 100 I'm bid.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56At 100, 110, 120,

0:38:59 > 0:39:03150, 160, 170.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05170, 180,
0:39:05 > 0:39:06190, 200.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10200, 210,
0:39:10 > 0:39:12220.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14220 on the net. At 220.
0:39:14 > 0:39:18230. 230.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21At £230. Nice thing.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23At £230. Any more?
0:39:23 > 0:39:28At £230 and I sell then at £230.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30And done, thank you.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33230 is minus £50. I can't bear it.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36You got close enough.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39- We got close.- It could've been an awful lot worse, couldn't it?
0:39:39 > 0:39:41Here comes the butterfly.
0:39:41 > 0:39:45£20 to start me. Straight in. £20.
0:39:45 > 0:39:4720 bid. At £20. On the net at 20.
0:39:47 > 0:39:51Any more? At £20 I am only bid. Any more at all?
0:39:51 > 0:39:52At £20 on the net
0:39:52 > 0:39:54and I sell then at £20
0:39:54 > 0:39:56- and done. Thank you.- Perfect.
0:39:56 > 0:39:57Beautiful. Nice work.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00Perfect. That is plus £15.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03Which means overall you are minus £39.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06So, what are you going to do about the cigarette case? For a pound?
0:40:06 > 0:40:09- We really like it. I think we should go for it.- Yeah, let's do it.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12- It's a no-brainer, isn't it? - Yeah, exactly. Yeah, we like it.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15For £1, well done, Caroline, because the auctioneer's estimate
0:40:15 > 0:40:18is £5-£10 so you could make an upside of tenfold
0:40:18 > 0:40:20- and here it comes.- Good, vibes.
0:40:20 > 0:40:26- PHIL:- Lot number 196 is a really lovely quality plated
0:40:26 > 0:40:28engine-turned cigarette case.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30Who has got £20?
0:40:30 > 0:40:3310. 10 anywhere?
0:40:33 > 0:40:34- Someone.- Go on!
0:40:34 > 0:40:365 then?
0:40:36 > 0:40:385, I am bid at 5. 5 bid.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40This is for nothing. At £5, I'm only bid at 5.
0:40:40 > 0:40:4310. 10. 15.
0:40:43 > 0:40:4415, 15, 15.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47- At £15 only.- He only takes bids at £5.
0:40:47 > 0:40:48At £15.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50And I sell then at £15
0:40:50 > 0:40:52- and well done.- That is remarkable.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54Very well done. Thank you very much.
0:40:54 > 0:40:59£15, that is brilliant. Which is a profit of £14.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02Anyway, minus £25 might be a winning score so say nothing to anybody.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04- OK.- And all will be revealed in a moment.- Excellent.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06- Fantastic.- Thank you very much.
0:41:06 > 0:41:0725 and 30.
0:41:15 > 0:41:19Well, slightly depleted Red team, sadly,
0:41:19 > 0:41:22but have you been chatting to Joel about the scores?
0:41:22 > 0:41:23- No, definitely not.- No.
0:41:23 > 0:41:27OK, well, I can reveal that there is a tiny margin,
0:41:27 > 0:41:30really, between the teams today.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32The difference being that one team is in profit
0:41:32 > 0:41:35and one team is in loss, and the team that's behind
0:41:35 > 0:41:36are the Blues.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38- ALL:- Oh!
0:41:38 > 0:41:40Minus £25.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42- It's not too bad.- Not too bad at all.
0:41:42 > 0:41:46- Well, it was a lot worse at one point, wasn't it?- Thanks(!)- No, no.
0:41:46 > 0:41:51But you got your profit out of the bonus buy which is great.
0:41:51 > 0:41:52The one-pound bonus buy.
0:41:52 > 0:41:58- One-pound bonus buy to £15 of sale, which is good.- Very nice.- Very good.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00- Saved your bacon a bit, yeah. - That's exactly it.- Good strategy.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02- Minus £25.- Oh, well.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05- Have you had a good time, Thomas? - I've had a wonderful time.
0:42:05 > 0:42:06I sincerely hope to do it again.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08Well, thank you very much for coming.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11- Thanks for having us.- It's been great having you on the show.
0:42:11 > 0:42:12But the victor, the victors,
0:42:12 > 0:42:16well, you, Joel, right now,
0:42:16 > 0:42:19are going to be the recipient of the £12 profit,
0:42:19 > 0:42:21which is pretty good going, isn't it?
0:42:21 > 0:42:23There we go. £12.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26You'll be able to share it with Hells Bells. I make that £6 each.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29- Yes?- Yes.- Which is a good return on absolutely nothing.
0:42:29 > 0:42:33The patch box we were right about, Charles, right? Made its £40 profit.
0:42:33 > 0:42:34You nearly made a profit
0:42:34 > 0:42:37on all three items, actually, when you think about it.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40And overall, plus £12 is a very respectable finish.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43- So, have you enjoyed it?- My box let me down.- Yes, it did. It did.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46I'm afraid people were pretty snarky about that, but never mind.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48- You have learnt, haven't you?- I did.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50- I'll buy it myself next time. - TIM LAUGHS
0:42:50 > 0:42:52- Yes, and take it home and love it. - Yeah.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55Anyway, give Hels our very best, give her the good news.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58Sorry she can't be here, but it's been a great show.
