I'm in Newark in Nottinghamshire,

0:00:020:00:04

at Europe's biggest antiques and collectables fair...

0:00:040:00:08

set in a whopping 84 acres,

0:00:080:00:12

with up to 2,500 stalls.

0:00:120:00:15

Everything you want is here.

0:00:150:00:18

From the tiny...

0:00:180:00:20

to the enormous!

0:00:200:00:22

This place is a treasure trove of goodies,

0:00:220:00:25

so what are our teams going to find today?

0:00:250:00:27

Let's go Bargain Hunting.

0:00:270:00:29

Each team has £300 and only one hour to uncover those bargains.

0:00:540:00:59

It's all to play for.

0:00:590:01:00

Let's see what's coming up.

0:01:000:01:03

The Reds are feeling very relaxed.

0:01:030:01:05

Do you know, that is astonishingly comfortable.

0:01:050:01:08

How cute!

0:01:080:01:09

David Harper arranges a reunion.

0:01:090:01:11

Do you have a twin brother?

0:01:110:01:12

Possibly.

0:01:120:01:14

There's excitement at the auction.

0:01:140:01:17

-Whoa!

-Fantastic. ALL:

-Yes!

0:01:170:01:20

And I uncover a tale of industrial espionage.

0:01:200:01:25

It's exceptionally risky - it's punishable by death.

0:01:250:01:28

More of that later. First of all, let's meet today's teams.

0:01:280:01:30

We've got two sets of work colleagues today.

0:01:300:01:32

For the Reds, we have Jeff and Sue.

0:01:320:01:34

And for the Blues, we have Fiona and Stuart.

0:01:340:01:36

-Hello, teams. ALL:

-Hello.

0:01:360:01:38

Now, Jeff, you two have been friends for a while, haven't you?

0:01:380:01:41

-Oh, longer than I care to remember.

-Tell me... Really?!

0:01:410:01:43

Tell me how you met.

0:01:430:01:45

We sang in a church choir together, some 30 years ago or more,

0:01:450:01:48

and we went on the same theological training course.

0:01:480:01:51

So, Jeff, you are retired now, aren't you,

0:01:510:01:53

but you used to be a priest?

0:01:530:01:54

Well, I still am, and you never really retire.

0:01:540:01:57

You still end up taking services and funerals and whatever else.

0:01:570:02:00

And I hear that you have quite an unusual collection, is that right?

0:02:000:02:03

I have any number of unusual collections.

0:02:030:02:06

-Oh, really?

-I think you're referring to my bobbins, in particular.

0:02:060:02:08

I actually wrote a book on pillow lace and bobbins.

0:02:080:02:11

-Yeah.

-Published in 1975.

0:02:110:02:13

Still in print, having sold 67,000 copies.

0:02:130:02:16

We've got a published author in our midst, guys.

0:02:160:02:19

Sounds like he might be quite handy to you today.

0:02:190:02:21

-Absolutely.

-So, Sue, you're still a vicar.

0:02:210:02:23

Yes, that's right. I'm a vicar in Lincoln Diocese.

0:02:230:02:26

Brilliant, and what's your churches? What are they called?

0:02:260:02:29

-I only have one church.

-Oh.

0:02:290:02:30

It's the Priory Church of Deeping Saint James.

0:02:300:02:32

-Oh, that sounds lovely.

-Doesn't it just?

-Yeah.

0:02:320:02:35

So you're in a choir. What kind of songs do you sing?

0:02:350:02:37

-Are they pop? Are they classical?

-It's choral.

0:02:370:02:40

And, in fact, we wrote you a special Bargain Hunt ditty for today.

0:02:400:02:43

-You haven't!

-We have indeed.

-Oh, my goodness.

0:02:430:02:45

-Can I hear it?

-Indeed.

-You can indeed.

-How exciting.

0:02:450:02:48

# We search for a bargain when the hour had begun

0:02:480:02:51

# And we looked round the stalls in the rain and the sun

0:02:510:02:54

# Bedraggled, we haggled till the items were bought

0:02:540:02:57

# We found it was much harder than we had thought. #

0:02:570:03:00

That's wonderful! Well done. Blimey!

0:03:000:03:03

Oh! I hope you guys are going to be this good.

0:03:030:03:05

You guys obviously are a good team.

0:03:050:03:07

Do you think you'll make a good team out there shopping?

0:03:070:03:09

-Well, I hope so.

-Yeah, I think so.

-Well, very, very best of luck.

0:03:090:03:12

And I expect lots of singing out there, OK?

0:03:120:03:14

-Thank you.

-Singing to the stallholders.

0:03:140:03:16

Now, Blues. Fiona, Stuart. Now, my goodness, you met 11 years ago.

0:03:160:03:20

-That's right, isn't it?

-Yep.

-Yes.

-How did you meet, Fiona?

0:03:200:03:22

We met working together for an airline.

0:03:220:03:24

We were both air cabin crew.

0:03:240:03:25

I bet you two were pretty naughty up there in that aeroplane.

0:03:250:03:28

Oh, yeah! One time Stuart did a clearing service on the aeroplane

0:03:280:03:32

and I was inside the trolley,

0:03:320:03:34

and every few rows, like, my hand would just pop out of the...

0:03:340:03:37

-where the rubbish...

-Out of the trolley this hand would just appear?

0:03:370:03:40

-Oh, my goodness.

-Made the passengers scream.

0:03:400:03:42

I've also been told that you used to have a bit of fun job

0:03:420:03:44

in a radio station, is that right?

0:03:440:03:46

Yes, they would send me out into the public

0:03:460:03:48

and then they'd ring me live on air and give me a task.

0:03:480:03:50

I had to do a stint in a launderette,

0:03:500:03:52

-so I had to do the old Levi's advert, take everything off...

-Oh!

0:03:520:03:55

..go in... Yes. After that I got the nickname as Stunt Boy Stu.

0:03:550:03:59

So, guys, I've got a feeling that you are going to be a great team.

0:03:590:04:01

You obviously bounce off each other very, very well.

0:04:010:04:04

-Who's going to be in charge today?

-Hmm... Me!

0:04:040:04:06

I want all things... Little, like, pretty things and sparkly things.

0:04:100:04:13

Oh, girl after my own heart.

0:04:130:04:14

So what do you need to go and do some shopping, teams?

0:04:140:04:17

-Money.

-Money.

-Some money. Here we go, £300 for you, Blues.

0:04:170:04:20

£300 for you, Reds.

0:04:200:04:22

-Thank you, kindly.

-You have that.

-I'll look after that.

0:04:220:04:24

He's in charge. Oh, my goodness. Enjoy. Your experts await.

0:04:240:04:27

-Now, off you go.

-Thank you very much.

-Brilliant.

0:04:270:04:30

Oh, we've got two very talented teams today.

0:04:300:04:32

But will they find anything that's going for a song?

0:04:320:04:34

We'll have to wait and see.

0:04:340:04:36

And, of course, our two talented teams need two exuberant experts.

0:04:380:04:42

Aiming for a profit with the Reds, it's...

0:04:420:04:45

And stacking up for the Blues, it's...

0:04:480:04:51

What are you looking for today?

0:04:520:04:54

I'd like something for the garden, I think.

0:04:540:04:56

Perhaps something decorative. Something sparkly and pretty.

0:04:560:04:59

-Militaria goes pretty well.

-Militaria.

-Yup.

0:04:590:05:01

Aircraft memorabilia... Along those lines.

0:05:010:05:03

-What, like an aeroplane?

-Why not?

-OK.

-747s are out of fashion.

0:05:030:05:05

Right teams, your time starts now.

0:05:070:05:10

-BOTH:

-Off we go.

-747, let's go shopping.

-Whoo!

0:05:100:05:13

These teams know exactly what they like.

0:05:130:05:15

It's going to be an action-packed hour.

0:05:150:05:17

Well, hopefully.

0:05:170:05:20

And it looks like the Blues have been drawn

0:05:200:05:22

to something sparkly already.

0:05:220:05:23

-Will that do you?

-No.

0:05:230:05:25

-What do you mean, "Will that do you?"

-No?

0:05:250:05:27

You just want to get rid of Fiona's purchase.

0:05:270:05:29

-Yeah, we can tick her off.

-He wants to tick that box.

0:05:290:05:32

-Ladies not pleasing you?

-No.

-No?

-They're not pleasing you.

0:05:320:05:35

-OK.

-Shall we move on to something else?

0:05:350:05:37

Well, I mean, don't avoid the whole collection here.

0:05:370:05:40

Back to the Reds, who are still getting their bearings.

0:05:400:05:43

This place is enormous!

0:05:430:05:45

-Big... Where's the big hall gone?

-Down that way.

-Down there, yes.

0:05:450:05:47

-Would you like to go there?

-I think we need to hurry down that way.

0:05:470:05:50

-Right, come on, then.

-I can move fast.

0:05:500:05:53

While the Reds work out where they are,

0:05:530:05:55

it's hats off to the Blues here, getting stuck in.

0:05:550:05:57

It looks a bit voodoo-like, doesn't it?

0:05:570:05:59

Out of a James Bond movie.

0:05:590:06:00

-I don't... I don't think you can make a lot.

-It's not you?

-No.

0:06:000:06:03

-No.

-No.

-OK, not you. Put that back. OK.

0:06:030:06:05

-Are you interested in the motorbike?

-Not really.

0:06:050:06:08

-No, you're not a motorbiker?

-I don't blame you, Fiona.

0:06:080:06:11

Oh, champagne bottle!

0:06:110:06:13

That's better. At least it's shiny.

0:06:130:06:15

It's a bit Star Wars, isn't it? It's... It's an oddity.

0:06:150:06:17

-Shall we leave it for now?

-Yeah.

0:06:170:06:20

But it looks like the Reds have finally

0:06:200:06:22

found their way to something they like.

0:06:220:06:24

-Ooh!

-Reminds me too much of the dentist.

0:06:240:06:27

-Does it?

-Oh, it is a bit...

0:06:270:06:30

Now you said dentists, I've gone off it.

0:06:300:06:33

I don't blame you, Sue.

0:06:330:06:35

We're not here to pull teeth.

0:06:350:06:37

So, time to head indoors -

0:06:370:06:38

and they've discovered something already.

0:06:380:06:41

Now, look at this. For a good girl -

0:06:410:06:44

if anybody knows any good girls. Do you?

0:06:440:06:45

-I prefer the bad ones.

-Do you?

-Jeff, honestly!

0:06:450:06:48

-Well, I know some bad ones. What a nice present.

-That's a mug.

0:06:480:06:52

It's Staffordshire, mid-Victorian, I would say.

0:06:520:06:54

-Sort of 1850s, 1860s.

-Yup.

0:06:540:06:56

I'm just a bit worried about the lack of gilt on the top.

0:06:560:06:59

-It seems to me it's rather rubbed.

-It's rubbed round the top.

0:06:590:07:02

You can see where that's gone.

0:07:020:07:04

But if you look closely, the mug itself is perfect.

0:07:040:07:07

There's no chips or damage.

0:07:070:07:09

Excuse me! Hi, we're just looking at your mug.

0:07:090:07:13

What would be the absolute best on that?

0:07:130:07:16

-15.

-15?

-Yep.

-Oh.

-I'd have to say...

0:07:160:07:19

Well, we've got a plan.

0:07:190:07:21

If we can get something for £1 under the usual auction price,

0:07:210:07:25

if it gets to 15, we make a profit.

0:07:250:07:27

Yes, I can do it for £14.

0:07:270:07:28

-Thank you very much indeed.

-First one in the bag.

0:07:280:07:32

-In a very short space of time.

-Very short space of time.

0:07:320:07:34

Very short space of time.

0:07:340:07:36

Hopefully it'll make a profit of more than £1,

0:07:360:07:38

but I see what you're thinking, Jeff.

0:07:380:07:40

Ten minutes in and the Reds are in the pink with their first item.

0:07:400:07:42

And the Blues have found something...well, blue.

0:07:420:07:45

-Nice thing, isn't it?

-That is nice.

-Isn't that great?

0:07:450:07:48

-What's up with this lamp?

-200.

0:07:480:07:50

And what date, Fiona, do you think it is?

0:07:500:07:54

No idea.

0:07:540:07:55

-'70s or '80s?

-No, no!

0:07:550:07:58

-No, it's a lot older than that!

-Rubbish.

-Older than that.

0:07:580:08:02

Much older than that. I would guess 1930s.

0:08:020:08:04

And I've never seen this shape or design before,

0:08:040:08:07

which is slightly worrying.

0:08:070:08:09

-This looks like an add-on.

-Possibly, possibly.

0:08:090:08:13

-Do you think it's too risky?

-Yeah.

-For 200, yeah.

0:08:130:08:16

Even if we knock him down a bit, that's still expensive.

0:08:160:08:18

Oh, yes, that is a bit steep. Time to move on.

0:08:180:08:22

-We're getting warmed up, aren't we?

-We are, we're just warming up.

0:08:220:08:24

-How long have we had?

-Ten minutes.

-Yeah, 11. Well done.

-Oh!

0:08:240:08:28

-Well done.

-I got something right!

-Well done, yeah.

0:08:280:08:31

11 minutes? It's good to be precise.

0:08:310:08:34

But what have the Reds discovered now?

0:08:340:08:37

Is that something you might be interested in buying, Jeff?

0:08:370:08:39

-No.

-No? Right, well, shall we move on?

-After all that!

0:08:390:08:42

-Let's move on.

-Let's move on.

0:08:420:08:44

Oh, my Lord. What is it about it?

0:08:440:08:46

-Is it because it looks like Stuart? What is that?!

-It's cute! Look!

0:08:460:08:50

-Hang on a minute.

-How cute!

-Come here.

-Oh, it's got...

0:08:500:08:53

-It's stuffed with straw.

-Do you have a twin brother?

0:08:530:08:56

Hmm, Stuart, you may have found your long-lost twin,

0:08:560:08:59

but you do still need to buy something.

0:08:590:09:01

Meanwhile, Jeff has spied an item from his wish list - militaria.

0:09:010:09:05

-This is a Death Penny.

-Yes, it is.

-Is it?

0:09:050:09:09

Yes, every family,

0:09:090:09:10

when a serviceman was killed in the First World War...

0:09:100:09:13

-They received...

-..were given one of those.

0:09:130:09:15

-Yes, I...

-Very sadly, there's a lot of them around.

0:09:150:09:20

So that might not make us anything.

0:09:200:09:22

No, and I would think they are worth more to the family.

0:09:220:09:24

I always think it's terribly sad when you see them for sale.

0:09:240:09:27

It is, it is, yeah.

0:09:270:09:29

So, no militaria for Jeff.

0:09:290:09:31

But I think someone has captured Sue's heart.

0:09:310:09:34

I saw this little fellow here with his lovely little nose.

0:09:340:09:37

-Now, he looks fairly modern to me.

-Mm-hm, yes.

0:09:370:09:40

-But he's a great, great make.

-Steiff, of course.

0:09:400:09:44

-He's got a barcode on.

-They are very expensive to buy new.

0:09:440:09:47

-Yes.

-So I would imagine he cost more originally than £65.

0:09:470:09:51

I just wondered if we could have a good look at him.

0:09:510:09:54

Yes, of course you can, yes.

0:09:540:09:55

He can be 55, that's the best I can do.

0:09:550:09:57

Could he possibly be a little under that?

0:09:570:09:59

-Because we've got to make a profit.

-You can have him for 54, yes.

0:09:590:10:02

I think that'll be wonderful,

0:10:020:10:04

but we're right at the beginning, almost, of our time.

0:10:040:10:07

-Could you possibly hold him for half an hour?

-Yes, I shall put away.

0:10:070:10:10

-So we could perhaps come back.

-Yes.

-That would be really kind.

0:10:100:10:13

Oh, what a nice lady. But can Sue "bear" to leave him behind?

0:10:130:10:17

-Are you sad to be leaving him?

-He's in a safe place.

0:10:170:10:19

-Is it something that you would like to buy?

-It certainly is.

-Right.

0:10:190:10:23

-It certainly is.

-And what about you, Jeff.

-Not a bear man.

0:10:230:10:27

-Not a bear man.

-Not necessarily.

0:10:270:10:29

Hmm, I get the feeling that Jeff is less than impressed.

0:10:290:10:31

You'll have to work on him, Sue. But what have the Blues come across now?

0:10:310:10:36

It's some sort of fairground thing. Probably about 1930s.

0:10:360:10:39

Look at that. I mean, it looks like

0:10:390:10:40

an early Harley-Davidson, doesn't it?

0:10:400:10:42

-What sort of money is it?

-800.

-800, yeah.

0:10:420:10:45

£800?!

0:10:450:10:47

Oh, I'm glad you could see the funny side.

0:10:470:10:49

But you're 20 minutes in, team, and still no purchases.

0:10:490:10:52

Meanwhile, it looks like the Reds are working on their plan of action.

0:10:520:10:56

So we're doing well. I don't want to put pressure,

0:10:560:10:59

but we've done 25 minutes.

0:10:590:11:02

-So 35 to go.

-So we're nearly up to halfway through.

0:11:020:11:05

-Right, so, where to?

-I can't immediately see anything

0:11:060:11:09

-that strikes the eye around here.

-No?

0:11:090:11:11

-No.

-I think, shall we go back out then?

0:11:110:11:13

-We'll go back out?

-You want to go back out?

0:11:130:11:15

-Right, OK.

-I think that probably is wise.

0:11:150:11:16

-We'll need to do it fairly quickly.

-Right, let's go.

0:11:160:11:20

Oh, that's what I like - confident decision-making.

0:11:200:11:23

And it looks that the Blues have found something.

0:11:230:11:25

Oh, dear, what is that?

0:11:250:11:28

She's lost the plot. Stuart, where did you find her?

0:11:280:11:33

-Look!

-He needs to go to a home, Fiona.

0:11:330:11:36

And not ours!

0:11:360:11:38

You know what? Actually, Fiona, I'm with you.

0:11:380:11:40

Let's convince Stuart. Start - tell us all about it, Fiona.

0:11:400:11:43

What do you know?

0:11:430:11:46

Look, he's just a little toddler baby-walker

0:11:460:11:49

to help them walk and then to sit on.

0:11:490:11:50

-Yeah.

-No idea how old it would be.

-OK, well, listen, don't worry.

0:11:500:11:54

Stuart's very good at dating things.

0:11:540:11:56

He'll probably think that was made in 2010.

0:11:560:11:58

-Yeah!

-Yeah, exactly.

-'50s, maybe '60s.

0:11:580:12:00

-He's got so much character.

-But look what he's made of.

0:12:000:12:03

-He's stuffed with straw.

-Oh, you can see.

0:12:030:12:05

What's it called? D... Made in Great Britain, which is a bonus.

0:12:050:12:08

By Deans Rag Book Co Ltd.

0:12:080:12:10

How wonderful.

0:12:100:12:12

The best toys in the world were made here in Great Britain,

0:12:120:12:15

and that falls into that category.

0:12:150:12:17

So what would your estimate be?

0:12:170:12:19

I think in auction he's going to be ten to 20, but he could make more.

0:12:190:12:22

-He could.

-He could.

-Someone might fall in love with him.

0:12:220:12:25

-Like you.

-Like me.

-Right. How much would this be?

0:12:250:12:27

-What is the price on love?

-25.

-25.

0:12:270:12:30

Could we do 20?

0:12:300:12:32

Erm... Yeah.

0:12:320:12:34

-Woo-hoo!

-Please can I have him, Stu?

-You've bought him.

0:12:340:12:37

-Yeah!

-He's yours. Shake the man's hand.

-Thank you.

0:12:370:12:40

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you.

0:12:400:12:43

Well, I suppose someone had to fall in love with that horse.

0:12:430:12:45

The Blues are finally out of the paddock with their first item,

0:12:450:12:48

and it looks like Sue is having a breather.

0:12:480:12:51

Oh, do you know? That is astonishingly comfortable.

0:12:510:12:54

-Is it really?

-It really is. Why don't you try it?

0:12:540:12:57

I think I will. Don't mind if I do.

0:12:570:13:00

-Oh, yeah, it's quite nice.

-Not bad, is it?

0:13:000:13:03

Don't get too comfy, guys - you still have two items to find.

0:13:030:13:05

And the Blues are on to something.

0:13:050:13:07

That's quite sweet.

0:13:070:13:09

How very interesting, that's its original label.

0:13:090:13:11

It's for a traditional market, probably 1910.

0:13:110:13:14

Maybe First World War.

0:13:140:13:16

I mean, the bottle itself is not great quality at all.

0:13:160:13:19

It's just glass, it's pressed.

0:13:190:13:21

But the glory is the silver sleeve.

0:13:210:13:24

So the price on it is 48.

0:13:240:13:26

48. What would you estimate the value...?

0:13:260:13:28

-In auction, 20 to 30.

-Excuse me.

-Yes.

0:13:280:13:32

-What would be the best price on this?

-35.

0:13:320:13:35

If we said 28, and then that gives us a £2 leeway to make at auction

0:13:350:13:39

and it keeps you guys happy as well?

0:13:390:13:41

-You're still not going to get that.

-Are we still...? No.

0:13:410:13:43

-Give us your last shot.

-30 quid.

0:13:430:13:47

You'll definitely make a profit on that.

0:13:470:13:49

If that's a guarantee, you've got a deal.

0:13:490:13:51

Marvellous, thank you very much, you two.

0:13:530:13:55

-An absolute pleasure.

-Thank you.

0:13:550:13:57

A guaranteed profit on £30? I like the sound of that.

0:13:570:14:00

The Blues now have two items. There's no stopping them.

0:14:000:14:04

And the Reds have tracked down yet more chairs.

0:14:040:14:07

Look at these four chairs -

0:14:070:14:10

20 quid.

0:14:100:14:12

Look at that, they're the right colour

0:14:120:14:13

for the kids that are furnishing houses now.

0:14:130:14:15

Chrome legs. A fiver each!

0:14:150:14:18

Fiver each is pretty amazing, isn't it?

0:14:180:14:20

There's got to be profit on those, surely. What do you think, Jeff?

0:14:200:14:23

-Can we have a look at them?

-I think it's worth a punt.

0:14:230:14:25

Do you want me to go and see what they can be?

0:14:250:14:27

I think you've got longer eyelashes than I have.

0:14:270:14:29

I don't know! You have a look, I'll go and get a price.

0:14:290:14:32

Thank you very much.

0:14:320:14:34

While Caroline goes off to employ her negotiating skills,

0:14:340:14:37

David Harper is employing his, erm,

0:14:370:14:39

straight-talking skills with the Blues.

0:14:390:14:41

Effectively, Stuart, you've made no choices whatsoever.

0:14:410:14:45

-Very true.

-Fiona is wearing the trousers.

-I did say so.

0:14:450:14:48

-You did, yes.

-At the moment, yes.

-Yeah.

0:14:480:14:51

-So it's time, Stuart, for you to shine.

-I'll do my best.

0:14:510:14:55

You've got about 20 minutes to pull something out of the bag -

0:14:550:14:58

especially a jumbo jet.

0:14:580:15:00

And it looks like Caroline has come up with the deal of the century.

0:15:000:15:04

I've spoken to the gentleman and he's going to take £11 for the four.

0:15:040:15:08

-Wow!

-Wow! Is that a wow from you?

-Yup, definitely.

-We can't go wrong.

0:15:080:15:13

-That's a wow from me.

-That's absolutely fabulous.

-Thank you!

0:15:130:15:16

And it's a wow from me, too!

0:15:160:15:18

A great price, Caroline. And that's two items with 20 minutes to go.

0:15:180:15:22

These two are on a roll, and they're heading back indoors

0:15:220:15:26

to take a look at something they spotted earlier.

0:15:260:15:28

Do you...? Do you like chemist's jars?

0:15:280:15:31

I think they sell well. I think they look attractive.

0:15:310:15:34

Now, how much are they? Let me have a look.

0:15:340:15:35

Let's see, £18 on that one from here.

0:15:350:15:38

So... So they are in nice condition.

0:15:380:15:41

-Shall we ask the price?

-Yup, delighted.

0:15:410:15:44

-Are you going to ask the price? Hello, hi.

-We're back again.

0:15:440:15:48

Go on, what daft offer are you going to give me?

0:15:480:15:50

-Are you a chemist?

-Well, I was wondering if we could offer you...

0:15:500:15:53

because you've got 18 on each of them...

0:15:530:15:56

-Yep.

-..a cheeky offer of £22 for the pair, and a little ditty.

0:15:560:16:00

-Let me hear the ditty.

-You can hear the ditty.

0:16:000:16:02

-Right.

-Are we ready for the ditty?

-Are you ready for the ditty?

0:16:020:16:05

-I'll count you in.

-Give me a note.

-One, two, there.

0:16:050:16:09

# All things bright and beautiful

0:16:090:16:12

# All bargains great and small

0:16:120:16:15

# All things weird and wonderful

0:16:150:16:18

# This lady has them all. #

0:16:180:16:20

I think I have to accept that offer.

0:16:200:16:22

Is that what they call going for a song?

0:16:220:16:25

-Marvellous.

-That was lovely.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

0:16:250:16:27

So that's brilliant. All finished, got five minutes left.

0:16:270:16:31

-Shall we go and have a cup of tea?

-Definitely.

0:16:310:16:33

Our singing vicars have certainly earned a cup of tea.

0:16:330:16:36

That's three items secured with time to spare.

0:16:360:16:39

The Blues are feeling the pressure,

0:16:400:16:42

but they seem to have found a furry friend.

0:16:420:16:44

-Oh, my goodness.

-He comes with a banana.

-Let's give him a hug.

0:16:440:16:48

Oh, my lord!

0:16:480:16:49

Is that the kind of guy you would normally go for, Fiona?

0:16:490:16:52

-Yeah.

-Yeah?

0:16:520:16:54

Muscular and hairy.

0:16:540:16:56

That rules you out!

0:16:570:16:58

-He's good fun, isn't he?

-He is.

-I love him.

-He's great.

0:17:000:17:03

He is a big silverback.

0:17:030:17:04

Odd things do sell, but how on earth do you value him?

0:17:040:17:07

He's of no age, of no quality.

0:17:070:17:10

He's just one of those mad things

0:17:100:17:12

that people will go to an auction and say,

0:17:120:17:15

"Well, I didn't come here to buy a gorilla

0:17:150:17:17

"but actually I need to go home with him. I've got to have him!"

0:17:170:17:19

-He's one of those objects, isn't he? What sort of money is he?

-250.

0:17:190:17:23

-That's everything we've got left.

-I know.

0:17:230:17:25

Wouldn't be leaving you very much.

0:17:250:17:27

No, you wouldn't be leaving me very much, no.

0:17:270:17:29

-What would be the absolute death on him?

-180.

-180.

0:17:290:17:32

-Best price.

-Is that the absolute death, 180?

0:17:320:17:36

I'll do you 170.

0:17:360:17:38

-Oh, he's very risky.

-You'll make money out of it, I guarantee.

0:17:380:17:41

Why, why? I've never seen them before.

0:17:410:17:43

Shop front, advertisement board.

0:17:430:17:46

-True.

-A wedding party planner.

0:17:460:17:49

Wedding party?!

0:17:490:17:50

What's his name?

0:17:500:17:52

Whatever you want it to be!

0:17:520:17:54

Good man, very good answer.

0:17:550:17:57

-How long have we got left?

-Ten minutes.

0:17:570:18:00

-Is that it? Is the absolute death?

-Yeah.

-OK.

-Absolute lowest 160?

0:18:000:18:04

I'll split the difference - 165.

0:18:040:18:06

Buy him!

0:18:060:18:08

-OK.

-Be a risk-taker.

0:18:080:18:10

-We'll be a risk-taker.

-165.

-165. And a free banana!

-Thank you.

0:18:100:18:14

And it's fresh. Thank you very much. Thank you.

0:18:150:18:17

Well done!

0:18:170:18:19

You never would have thought it, would you?

0:18:200:18:24

Well done, I've never bought a gorilla before.

0:18:240:18:26

I'm so happy, so happy! Well done.

0:18:260:18:29

CLOCK DONGS

0:18:290:18:30

That's it, teams. Your time is up.

0:18:300:18:33

Unbelievable. We've bought a horse, a perfume bottle and a gorilla.

0:18:330:18:37

That is a world record!

0:18:370:18:39

-I'm very unique.

-Oh, my!

0:18:390:18:41

-You two are unique, let me tell you! Come on.

-Unique, indeed!

0:18:410:18:44

And that's the final item of the day in the bag.

0:18:440:18:48

Right, time to skip off and remind ourselves what the Reds bought.

0:18:480:18:52

Pretty in pink, the good-girl mug was a mere £14.

0:18:530:18:57

Caroline didn't sit around to secure this set of chairs for just £11.

0:19:000:19:04

And finally, the chemist jars were snapped up £22 and a cheeky song.

0:19:060:19:11

-So where's my present?

-Present?

-Ah, present.

0:19:120:19:15

-Present for a good girl?

-Oh!

-Well, no, you can't have that.

0:19:150:19:19

-That's going to auction.

-Aww!

0:19:190:19:21

-Sorry.

-How disappointing.

0:19:210:19:23

So what was your favourite item that you bought today?

0:19:230:19:25

Well, I liked the medicine bottles, actually.

0:19:250:19:27

-I thought they were really good.

-Brilliant.

0:19:270:19:29

-Not the present for a good girl?

-Well, I can see it would sell well, but I don't like pink.

0:19:290:19:33

Which do you think, of the items that you bought, will make the biggest profit?

0:19:330:19:37

-Has to be the chairs.

-They are pretty funky, aren't they?

0:19:370:19:39

-Jeff, what was your favourite item?

-I like that little mug.

0:19:390:19:42

-Yes, very sweet.

-It's rather fun.

-Yes, exactly.

0:19:420:19:44

Do you think it will bring the most profit?

0:19:440:19:46

-No, I think the chairs, definitely.

-Really?

-Yeah.

-Oh, blimey.

0:19:460:19:49

-So we're in agreement?

-Of course.

-Really? Yes!

0:19:490:19:52

-I like it, it's fantastic. So how much did you spend?

-£47.

0:19:520:19:55

So I need £253 of leftover lolly, then.

0:19:550:19:59

-You sure?

-Please. I don't get to keep it, sadly.

-Shame.

0:19:590:20:02

There's the notes, brilliant.

0:20:020:20:04

-There's your shrapnel.

-Fantastic. Wow.

0:20:040:20:05

Caroline, £253 of leftover lolly.

0:20:050:20:09

What are you going to do with it?

0:20:090:20:11

I've got a few ideas, but I can do quite a lot of damage with this.

0:20:110:20:14

You really can. Wow.

0:20:140:20:16

Well, while Caroline goes off and does some damage,

0:20:160:20:18

let's find out what the Blue team bought.

0:20:180:20:20

First up, the Blues gave this battered horse a home

0:20:200:20:23

for a mere £20.

0:20:230:20:25

Does this perfume bottle have the sweet smell of success?

0:20:260:20:29

It was just £30.

0:20:290:20:30

Finally, it's big, it's bold -

0:20:320:20:34

yes, it's a life-sized gorilla,

0:20:340:20:37

and they paid a whopping £165 for him.

0:20:370:20:40

Fi, Fi, Fi, it's all about me.

0:20:410:20:45

-I definitely wore the trousers today.

-Yes.

0:20:460:20:49

Is there anything in this antiques fair that you didn't want to buy?

0:20:490:20:52

-No, I loved everything.

-Fiona, what was your favourite item?

0:20:520:20:55

Well, I loved the horse, like, loved, loved, loved.

0:20:550:20:58

But now I love the gorilla as well, so it's a tough call.

0:20:580:21:00

Oh, you're not sure!

0:21:000:21:02

So what do you think will make the biggest profit?

0:21:020:21:05

I think the gorilla was a gamble, so I'm going to go for the horse

0:21:050:21:07

-because we only paid £20.

-It might be a gamble worth paying, though.

0:21:070:21:10

-Yeah, hopefully.

-And, Stuart, what about you?

0:21:100:21:13

What was your favourite item from today?

0:21:130:21:15

I'm inclined to agree with Fiona on the aspect that,

0:21:150:21:17

-due to the cost of the horse, it might make a little bit.

-Yep.

0:21:170:21:20

-But on a risk, it could be good old Brutus.

-Yes, Brutus, you see,

0:21:200:21:23

he might just have been worth paying all that money for.

0:21:230:21:26

-I think he might be.

-How much did you spend, guys?

0:21:260:21:28

-£215.

-£215. So I need £85 then, please.

0:21:280:21:32

-Et voila. There you go.

-Brilliant.

0:21:320:21:34

-Thank you very much. £85.

-Well, thank you very much.

0:21:340:21:36

-What are you going to do with it?

-Well, I don't think I can compete

0:21:360:21:39

with the horse or the gorilla, but I will do my very best.

0:21:390:21:43

It's got to be something animally, surely.

0:21:430:21:45

It's got to be something weird and wonderful, I can tell you that.

0:21:450:21:48

We'll find out what David buys at the auction

0:21:480:21:50

but, in the meantime, come with me.

0:21:500:21:52

I've uncovered an intriguing story that I'd like to share with you.

0:21:520:21:55

From the mid-18th century,

0:22:000:22:01

Britain earned a reputation around the world

0:22:010:22:03

as a manufacturing nation,

0:22:030:22:05

but the story of Britain's first-ever factory

0:22:050:22:08

is made of thrilling stuff, literally.

0:22:080:22:11

And that story began here in Derby,

0:22:110:22:14

the location for today's auction,

0:22:140:22:16

and it's a tale of espionage, revenge and murder.

0:22:160:22:19

Derby was one of the leading centres of the Industrial Revolution,

0:22:210:22:24

producing cotton, beer,

0:22:240:22:26

clocks and porcelain.

0:22:260:22:29

But in the early 1700s,

0:22:290:22:30

it made its name with another very important product.

0:22:300:22:33

And it's this - silk thread.

0:22:340:22:37

Britain already had a highly successful silk-weaving industry

0:22:370:22:40

but we'd never mastered the art of spinning silk thread.

0:22:400:22:44

Silk throwing was a highly prized and secretive process

0:22:440:22:48

dominated by the Italians.

0:22:480:22:50

But there was one man that was determined to change all of that.

0:22:500:22:53

That man was John Lombe, whose image appears around the city.

0:22:540:22:59

He and his brother Thomas were involved in silk and wool weaving

0:22:590:23:03

but wanted to spin the silk thread themselves.

0:23:030:23:05

They hatched an audacious plan.

0:23:060:23:08

John Lombe would infiltrate the Italian industry

0:23:080:23:11

and steal their secrets.

0:23:110:23:12

I've come to the Derby Silk Mill Museum

0:23:140:23:16

to meet curator Daniel Martin

0:23:160:23:18

to find out more.

0:23:180:23:19

So, Daniel, tell me what John Lombe did.

0:23:210:23:23

So John Lombe goes over to Piedmont, in the Kingdom of Sardinia,

0:23:230:23:27

and he gets a job in one of their silk factories.

0:23:270:23:30

He bribes two of his co-workers

0:23:300:23:32

to give him access to these factories at night.

0:23:320:23:34

And so he's going in under the cover of darkness,

0:23:340:23:37

just simply by candlelight,

0:23:370:23:39

and he's looking at them and he's dissecting them

0:23:390:23:41

and he's drawing them element by element.

0:23:410:23:44

And if you look at these drawings,

0:23:440:23:45

these are taken from those original drawings

0:23:450:23:47

that John Lombe would have done of the machinery.

0:23:470:23:49

A bit of a risky business, I would say.

0:23:490:23:51

This is exceptionally risky - it's punishable by death.

0:23:510:23:54

They know that if the secret of these machines gets out, somebody else could undercut them

0:23:540:23:57

-and that, actually, that would be the end of their big industry.

-Oh, my goodness.

0:23:570:24:01

When they get rumbled, if you have a look at this document,

0:24:010:24:03

you can actually see that "when the plot was discovered

0:24:030:24:06

"and he fled, with the utmost precipitation, on board a ship

0:24:060:24:09

"at the hazard of his life, taking with him two natives..." -

0:24:090:24:11

so he takes those two Italians -

0:24:110:24:13

"who had favoured his interest and his life

0:24:130:24:15

"at the risk of their own".

0:24:150:24:17

Lombe escaped unscathed and, armed with his sketches,

0:24:170:24:21

he built the first of two silk-throwing mills

0:24:210:24:24

here on the banks of the Derwent in 1717.

0:24:240:24:28

The river powered the new spinning machines,

0:24:280:24:30

making this the first fully mechanised factory in the world.

0:24:300:24:34

It produced 200,000 yards of silk every minute.

0:24:340:24:39

If you look at this fabulous painting that we've got,

0:24:400:24:42

you can see what a huge impact

0:24:420:24:44

these factories would have had on the town.

0:24:440:24:47

But while Lombe's factory prospered,

0:24:480:24:50

the trade in Italian thread suffered.

0:24:500:24:53

The King of Sardinia discovered what Lombe was up to

0:24:530:24:56

and sent an Italian woman to Derby to seek revenge.

0:24:560:25:00

So what does this lady do?

0:25:010:25:03

She comes over, described as "in the character of a friend",

0:25:030:25:06

she wants to help the business along,

0:25:060:25:07

she wants to offer a little bit more input,

0:25:070:25:09

a bit of Italian know-how.

0:25:090:25:11

But, actually, she gains the trust of one of those Italians

0:25:110:25:14

that came over with John Lombe in the first instance

0:25:140:25:16

and actually bribes him to help her with her plan.

0:25:160:25:19

And there's a very, very interesting account.

0:25:190:25:21

It says, "By these two, slow poison was supposed, and perhaps justly,

0:25:230:25:28

"to have been administered to John Lombe,

0:25:280:25:30

"who lingered two or three years in agonies and departed."

0:25:300:25:34

-So she killed him?

-She killed him.

0:25:340:25:35

She slowly administered poison over a long period of time.

0:25:350:25:38

And then what happens to her?

0:25:380:25:40

Well, she is taken in for questioning

0:25:400:25:42

but there's absolutely no evidence of this.

0:25:420:25:44

This has been a very slow, gradual decline.

0:25:440:25:46

But I think it's quite telling that as soon as she is let off

0:25:460:25:49

she flees, she disappears.

0:25:490:25:50

-She's gone straightaway.

-Back to Italy.

-Back to Italy.

0:25:500:25:53

'John Lombe died at the age of, 29 in 1722.

0:25:550:25:59

'News of his death devastated the town

0:25:590:26:02

'and his funeral was a huge event.

0:26:020:26:04

'Hundreds of people walked in pairs from his home,

0:26:040:26:07

'carrying branches and candles,

0:26:070:26:09

'finally arriving at All Saints Church,

0:26:090:26:12

'which is now Derby Cathedral.'

0:26:120:26:14

So, Daniel, is this where John Lombe's buried?

0:26:140:26:16

There are lots of theories about where John Lombe is actually buried.

0:26:160:26:19

Some of them put him on an island in the river.

0:26:190:26:21

We think it's most likely,

0:26:210:26:22

given that the service was here at Derby Cathedral,

0:26:220:26:24

that he's buried in this churchyard.

0:26:240:26:26

Now, graves at this time unfortunately aren't marked,

0:26:260:26:29

-so there's no definite proof that he's here...

-Oh!

0:26:290:26:31

But all around you can see there's lots of lumps and bumps,

0:26:310:26:34

-and we think it could be here.

-So, Daniel, what is John Lombe's legacy?

0:26:340:26:37

I think his legacy is the Industrial Revolution.

0:26:370:26:40

This is the first time that this sort of manufacturing,

0:26:400:26:42

on this scale, with this many people mechanised in one building,

0:26:420:26:45

-has ever taken place anywhere in the entire world.

-What a legacy to have.

0:26:450:26:49

Thank you so much.

0:26:490:26:50

It's been an absolute delight to learn so much more

0:26:500:26:53

-about this extraordinary man, so thank you.

-Thank you.

-It really has.

0:26:530:26:56

Well, let's head off to the auction. Will it go as smoothly as silk?

0:26:560:26:59

Let's hope so.

0:26:590:27:00

Today we are with our very own Charles Hanson here in Derby.

0:27:080:27:11

-Thank you for having us, Charlie.

-Pleasure, Christina.

-Thank you.

0:27:110:27:14

-So, let's crack on.

-Yes.

-We've got the Red team first of all.

0:27:140:27:16

We've got Jeff and Sue, and their first item, of course,

0:27:160:27:19

was this really rather lovely 19th-century Staffordshire pink mug.

0:27:190:27:22

I've never seen before, "For a good girl,"

0:27:220:27:25

and to me it's got this endearing...

0:27:250:27:28

Well, could it have been one's daughter?

0:27:280:27:30

-It's just a charming object.

-Right. So how do you rate it, Charlie?

0:27:300:27:34

We've put quite a low guide price on.

0:27:340:27:36

-OK.

-Perhaps £10-£20.

0:27:360:27:38

But hopefully this little girl has legs and she might run a bit.

0:27:380:27:41

She might run. Let's hope that girl gets running.

0:27:410:27:43

All right, super. They won't be too disappointed with that,

0:27:430:27:46

because they paid £14.

0:27:460:27:47

-Good.

-Now, their second choice,

0:27:470:27:49

which they both thought was going to be the most profitable,

0:27:490:27:52

is this set of four chairs here.

0:27:520:27:54

-Yes.

-How do you rate those, Charlie?

0:27:540:27:55

I suppose when it comes to mid-20th century design,

0:27:550:27:58

it's all the rage with youngsters.

0:27:580:28:00

They're great chairs, I like them a lot.

0:28:000:28:03

-What have you put on them?

-Our guide price is between £20-£30.

0:28:030:28:06

Well, they'll be thrilled with that. They paid £11 for them.

0:28:060:28:09

-Good.

-OK. So not too bad at all.

0:28:090:28:11

So what do you think about their third item,

0:28:110:28:13

these two little drug jars?

0:28:130:28:14

They've got a certain look

0:28:140:28:15

-that people are looking for at the moment, haven't they?

-I think so.

0:28:150:28:18

And to, I suppose, collectors in that medical profession,

0:28:180:28:21

they do sit well with chemists, with pharmacists.

0:28:210:28:23

We do have collectors who come and buy them.

0:28:230:28:26

So, for the two, Charlie, what do you think they might fetch here?

0:28:260:28:29

I hope, Christina, they will make between 20 and 30.

0:28:290:28:32

Hopefully, with the wind blowing, they might push onto £40.

0:28:320:28:35

OK. Well, that would be fantastic.

0:28:350:28:37

They'd be delighted with that, because they paid £22.

0:28:370:28:39

So it's all looking pretty positive over here, isn't it,

0:28:390:28:42

for Jeff and Sue?

0:28:420:28:43

They might not need their bonus buy, but we'll go and look at it anyway.

0:28:430:28:46

Caroline, you had a phenomenal £253

0:28:460:28:51

of leftover lolly.

0:28:510:28:52

What on earth did you spend it on?

0:28:520:28:54

-Do you have any ideas?

-Something small.

0:28:540:28:56

-Oh, I say!

-That is splendid.

0:28:560:28:59

-The most beautiful inkwell.

-Look at that!

0:28:590:29:01

It is the most beautiful quality.

0:29:010:29:03

It's a great maker, Mappin and Webb,

0:29:030:29:07

-London 1911.

-Mm-hm.

0:29:070:29:08

No damage anywhere.

0:29:080:29:10

The lid actually matches the tray.

0:29:100:29:13

Yes, because very often the bottle's been broken or damaged

0:29:130:29:16

and they'd replace it with something else.

0:29:160:29:18

Not only has it been made by them -

0:29:180:29:19

it's got, obviously, their hallmark on it -

0:29:190:29:22

it's also been retailed by them as well.

0:29:220:29:24

-So really nice piece there.

-And you paid how much?

0:29:240:29:27

What do you think?

0:29:270:29:28

I think you probably paid about 100 quid for it.

0:29:280:29:30

-170.

-170.

-Which is more than it could have been,

0:29:300:29:34

but it's a lot less than the retail price.

0:29:340:29:37

So what do you think it will make at auction, Caroline?

0:29:370:29:40

I think we're going to be lucky

0:29:400:29:42

if it just gets a tiny little profit.

0:29:420:29:45

-It's a great man-tique.

-A man-tique!

0:29:450:29:48

-It's a gift for the man that's got everything.

-A man-tique?!

0:29:480:29:50

-Yes!

-Guys, do you like it?

-I think it's gorgeous.

0:29:500:29:53

I think it's super. It's a lovely piece.

0:29:530:29:54

-So you really like it. Do you like the price Caroline has paid for it?

-That scares me a bit, I have to say.

0:29:540:29:59

-Yeah.

-So, guys, don't worry, you don't have to decide now.

0:29:590:30:01

Hold that thought. But for the benefit of those at home,

0:30:010:30:04

let's see what Charles thinks of Caroline's incredible inkwell.

0:30:040:30:07

So this is what Caroline decided

0:30:070:30:09

to invest the Red team's leftover lolly in.

0:30:090:30:12

What's your thoughts, my love?

0:30:120:30:13

It's just, Christine, a super object. We love it here.

0:30:130:30:16

-It's great quality.

-Brilliant, good. I'm glad you love it.

0:30:160:30:19

-Yes.

-How much do you love it?

0:30:190:30:21

Well, we hope it will make up to £100,

0:30:210:30:23

but I wouldn't be surprised if it soared past £100.

0:30:230:30:27

Well, they'll be delighted with that, because Caroline paid £170.

0:30:270:30:31

-Quality always sells, Christina.

-Quality always sells.

0:30:310:30:33

-And it's got everything going for it.

-Exactly.

0:30:330:30:35

-So let's move over to the Blues.

-OK.

-Fiona and Stuart.

0:30:350:30:38

Now, they started with this rather gorgeous horse toy.

0:30:380:30:41

-What do you think of that?

-Yeah, it's lovely.

0:30:410:30:43

I think what's important is, we checked the condition

0:30:430:30:46

and we checked the originality. Has it been re-covered?

0:30:460:30:48

No, it hasn't. You can see where maybe the toddler,

0:30:480:30:51

-the baby, has sat over many years.

-It's such a lovely thing.

0:30:510:30:55

What's your ideas about how much it might go for?

0:30:550:30:58

I wouldn't be surprised to see it make 35, 45,

0:30:580:31:01

-if not 50.

-Really?

-You never know.

-Wow!

0:31:010:31:02

It's a really engaging market, the toy market.

0:31:020:31:05

-Good, well, they paid £20 for it.

-Good.

0:31:050:31:07

-So they will be delighted with that.

-Yes.

0:31:070:31:09

Now, their next item was this rather lovely perfume bottle and stopper

0:31:090:31:12

with the silver base there.

0:31:120:31:14

Yes, the lovely bygone with the label in good condition.

0:31:140:31:17

Whether the, I suppose, stopper is also a marriage...

0:31:170:31:21

It doesn't sit so well.

0:31:210:31:23

So what's your thoughts with regards to value on that?

0:31:230:31:25

We would hope it would make between £30-£50.

0:31:250:31:28

-OK.

-If two buyers believe in it a bit more,

0:31:280:31:33

-it could just make up to £100.

-Really?! OK.

0:31:330:31:35

Well, they will be wildly excited about that,

0:31:350:31:37

-because they paid £30 for it.

-Good.

-Now...

-Yes.

0:31:370:31:40

-..the elephant in the room...

-Yes.

0:31:400:31:43

..or, shall I say, the gorilla in the room?

0:31:430:31:45

He's impressive, isn't he?

0:31:450:31:46

That gorilla has been a great talking point during the viewing.

0:31:460:31:49

It's a very, very difficult thing to put a value on.

0:31:490:31:51

Whereabouts did you start?

0:31:510:31:53

Fairly mass-produced, he is in good condition.

0:31:530:31:55

We've gone in with a guide price of £50.

0:31:550:31:58

Well, they paid £165 for him.

0:31:580:32:00

-I think...

-Do you think you might get there?

0:32:000:32:03

It's a funny old game, auctioneering,

0:32:030:32:04

and we thrive on creating that moment, that drama,

0:32:040:32:07

that theatre, and this gorilla, you never know, he might be part of it.

0:32:070:32:11

Worst-case scenario, they might need their bonus buy,

0:32:110:32:14

so let's go and have a look at it.

0:32:140:32:16

So, guys, that was an exciting shop, wasn't it?

0:32:160:32:18

My goodness. And you left David with all of £85.

0:32:180:32:22

Is it another gorilla?

0:32:220:32:24

It's not.

0:32:240:32:26

But it's gorilla-size.

0:32:260:32:28

Possibly made for a...

0:32:290:32:31

gorilla!

0:32:310:32:32

Lovely character marks on the base.

0:32:340:32:37

Geisha girls.

0:32:370:32:39

And look, guys, you've got a monkey there,

0:32:390:32:41

keeping on your primate theme.

0:32:410:32:42

There you go. Do you know what?

0:32:420:32:45

Well spotted, I didn't see that!

0:32:450:32:47

It's a gorilla.

0:32:470:32:49

I can't believe how good I am!

0:32:490:32:51

So, there you have it. It's a great big vase.

0:32:520:32:55

I'm going to say it's late 19th-century.

0:32:550:32:58

It's certainly Meiji period,

0:32:580:32:59

so this period from 1868 onwards.

0:32:590:33:01

The top may have even flared out.

0:33:010:33:04

Nice big trumpet vase, yeah.

0:33:040:33:06

But, you know, something's gone wrong and it's been whipped off.

0:33:060:33:08

-What do you think?

-I like the size of it.

0:33:080:33:10

-I must admit I like the size of it.

-It's impressive, isn't it?

-Yes.

0:33:100:33:13

-Yeah.

-How much did you spend on this...? This huge vase?

0:33:130:33:16

For nothing. 30 quid.

0:33:160:33:18

See, I think that's good.

0:33:180:33:19

I think that's good, for £30, considering the size.

0:33:190:33:22

It's a bit boring.

0:33:220:33:24

-ALL:

-Boring?!

-We were expecting exciting and fun.

0:33:240:33:28

OK, all right. Well, we've got divided opinions, so that's OK.

0:33:280:33:30

So how much do you think it will make?

0:33:300:33:33

I think it might make 50 quid.

0:33:330:33:34

I would pay 50 quid for that in an auction and be absolutely delighted.

0:33:340:33:38

£50. OK, well, David's predicting

0:33:380:33:41

a healthy profit, guys, OK?

0:33:410:33:42

So, divided opinion, but you don't have to decide now, don't worry.

0:33:420:33:46

Have a think about it. But for the benefit of those at home,

0:33:460:33:48

let's see what... Let's see what Charles thinks of David's...vase.

0:33:480:33:53

Right, Charlie, here's our bonus buy.

0:33:530:33:55

-Can you lift it up for me? Go on, muscles.

-I can indeed.

0:33:550:33:58

-Oh, he's so strong.

-There you are, Christina.

0:33:580:34:00

There we are. So, this is their bonus buy here.

0:34:000:34:02

Obviously, a beautiful Japanese vase. What's your thoughts on that?

0:34:020:34:05

It's full of eastern promise until you reach the rim.

0:34:050:34:07

Many years ago, Christina,

0:34:070:34:10

it would have been this lovely flared rim,

0:34:100:34:13

and suddenly it's lost its flair now because it's missing its rim.

0:34:130:34:16

So it would have been up here, now it's down here and that, of course,

0:34:160:34:19

reflects value as well.

0:34:190:34:21

But it's so beautiful.

0:34:210:34:23

So how much is that going to affect the value, Charlie?

0:34:230:34:28

-In great condition, it would have been worth £300-£500.

-Yeah.

0:34:280:34:31

As it is now, really knock a nought off.

0:34:310:34:34

So we've gone in between £40-£60, sorry.

0:34:340:34:37

OK, all right. No, that's fine.

0:34:370:34:38

David will be absolutely delighted with that,

0:34:380:34:40

-because he paid £30 for it.

-Brilliant. But what a lump.

0:34:400:34:43

-What a lump, exactly.

-I can lift it as well.

0:34:430:34:44

Will you be wielding your gavel with such passion today, Charlie?

0:34:440:34:48

I will, Christina - and I can't wait.

0:34:480:34:49

Brilliant, we're in safe hands, then.

0:34:490:34:51

OK, Charles, let's get the auction under way.

0:34:530:34:57

-Are you excited?

-Very.

-Definitely.

-Brilliant.

0:34:570:34:59

It's a packed saleroom today, so let's hope there's some good girls

0:34:590:35:02

-in the audience.

-With lots of money.

-With lots of money.

0:35:020:35:04

Your first lot is that little Staffordshire mug.

0:35:040:35:06

You spent £14 on it. Let's hope we're in for a profit.

0:35:060:35:09

-Good luck.

-It's a really wonderful

0:35:090:35:11

Staffordshire porcelain pink Crown mug.

0:35:110:35:13

I got £10 here. Come on.

0:35:130:35:15

-12, 15, 18...

-Profit!

-There we go.

0:35:150:35:17

£22, 25, 28, 28.

0:35:170:35:19

30, 35, no more.

0:35:190:35:21

-Whoa!

-Fantastic.

-Do I see 35 now? 30 I'm bid. Surely one more.

0:35:210:35:24

35, 40.

0:35:240:35:26

Oh, fantastic.

0:35:260:35:27

I sell - fair warning, all done? At £40.

0:35:270:35:30

At £40, going, going.

0:35:300:35:33

£26 profit on your first lot.

0:35:330:35:35

Next one - here it is.

0:35:350:35:36

We've got the four beech

0:35:360:35:38

contemporary Arne Jacobsen-style chairs on chrome legs.

0:35:380:35:40

Now, you paid £11 only for these.

0:35:400:35:43

Here it comes now. Good luck.

0:35:430:35:45

For four chairs, I've got £10. I'm asking 12 now.

0:35:450:35:47

At 10, because they're wonderful chairs.

0:35:470:35:49

Bid 12 and they'll walk away. 12, 15, 18. 22, sir.

0:35:490:35:53

-£22.

-Oh, they're on a roll, aren't they?

0:35:530:35:55

22. Surely a fiver. At 25.

0:35:550:35:57

28, 28, £30, 35.

0:35:570:36:00

Online 40, £40, 45.

0:36:000:36:02

-I could get hooked on this.

-You could? I'm not surprised.

0:36:020:36:05

-Not one for the road?

-42.

-42. Online do I see five?

0:36:050:36:08

45, 48. We've come so far.

0:36:080:36:11

This is really exciting. Well done.

0:36:110:36:13

Going, gone. At £45 today.

0:36:130:36:17

-Sold!

-Fantastic.

0:36:170:36:19

Well done. So you made £34 profit on that.

0:36:190:36:21

That means a total of £60. Your next lot's coming up now.

0:36:210:36:24

It's the jars. Best of luck.

0:36:240:36:26

And I can start these off with me at 12, £15. Bid 18 now.

0:36:260:36:30

There we are, we're showing you live in many ways.

0:36:300:36:33

-Come on.

-Come on, come on!

0:36:330:36:35

22 online. I've got 25. Bid 28 online. Bid 28, Internet.

0:36:350:36:40

-25, we're in profit.

-25, we're in profit.

0:36:400:36:42

Or we shall sell them. Fair warning. They think it's all over - not yet.

0:36:420:36:45

-28, £30.

-Oh, it's gone up again.

0:36:450:36:48

35, sir. Are you sure? No more?

0:36:480:36:51

I shall sell, bid 5.

0:36:510:36:53

Fair warning at £32.

0:36:530:36:56

£10 profit. That is amazing!

0:36:560:36:58

You guys, you've got £70 profit.

0:36:580:37:00

Now, look, would you like to go with your bonus buy?

0:37:000:37:03

Now, remember, Caroline bought you

0:37:030:37:05

this wonderful Mappin and Webb silver and cut-glass ink stand.

0:37:050:37:08

She outlaid £170 for it.

0:37:080:37:12

What's your thoughts?

0:37:120:37:13

-Well, it's gorgeous.

-Shall we hold on to 70?

0:37:130:37:16

I think we'll park our 70.

0:37:160:37:17

-It's a lovely piece, but you're not going to go with it?

-No.

0:37:170:37:20

We're going to sell it anyway. Here it comes now.

0:37:200:37:22

-Let's see what it makes.

-And I'm bid here, straight in,

0:37:220:37:24

I've got bids for this magnificent object at £110.

0:37:240:37:28

Do I see 120,

0:37:280:37:30

130, 140, 150, 160?

0:37:300:37:32

-I'll take 155, Sir?

-Ooh! It's getting close, Caroline.

0:37:320:37:36

I'm asking 160 or I shall sell it.

0:37:360:37:39

Make no mistake!

0:37:390:37:41

At £155.

0:37:430:37:45

Well done, guys. It turns out you did make the right decision.

0:37:450:37:48

So a loss of £15. Now, look, £70 clear profit.

0:37:480:37:52

That is phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal.

0:37:520:37:54

It could be a winning score,

0:37:540:37:56

-but promise me you won't say a word to the Blues.

-Not a word.

0:37:560:37:59

Seal of the confessional.

0:37:590:38:01

-Tell me, how are you feeling?

-Excited.

-Excited.

0:38:060:38:08

-Have you been to an auction before?

-No.

-Never, ever?

-Never.

0:38:080:38:12

Both of you? Wow! This is a baptism of fire.

0:38:120:38:14

Right. Your first lot is coming up right now.

0:38:140:38:17

We've got that rather lovely child's push-a-long horse.

0:38:170:38:20

Now, you paid £20 for it.

0:38:200:38:22

-Best of luck. Here it is.

-Thank you.

0:38:220:38:23

I'm only bid £12. I'm asking 15 now. Just look at it.

0:38:230:38:27

It really is charming for grandchildren, or children.

0:38:270:38:30

Have a go! 15, 18,

0:38:300:38:32

-20. 22.

-Yes!

-Yes!

0:38:320:38:35

0:38:350:38:37

22 bid. 25 there. I'm asking 28. At £25. Surely 28?

0:38:370:38:41

I sell to you, sir.

0:38:410:38:44

All out we are at £25.

0:38:440:38:48

-Really good.

-£5, that's brilliant.

0:38:480:38:50

So you've made £5 profit on your first lot.

0:38:500:38:53

Your second lot is this rather lovely perfume bottle

0:38:530:38:55

with the silver sleeve. You paid £30 for this.

0:38:550:38:58

Best of luck.

0:38:580:38:59

This is a really wonderful lot.

0:38:590:39:01

Chester, 1908, and I'm only bid for this £20.

0:39:010:39:03

In asking five now. At 25, 35...

0:39:030:39:06

-£30 paid, guys!

-Straightaway.

0:39:060:39:09

45, 50, 55, 60.

0:39:090:39:12

60, madam. 60, 65.

0:39:120:39:13

-Go on.

-Are you sure, madam?

0:39:130:39:17

I'm asking 70. You're out online.

0:39:170:39:19

I sell to you, sir, at £65.

0:39:190:39:23

£65! That's fantastic.

0:39:230:39:26

You're £40 up already. And now we've got?

0:39:260:39:29

-ALL:

-Brutus!

0:39:290:39:30

Here he comes. Best of luck. You paid £165.

0:39:300:39:35

Forget the guard dog - buy the gorilla! There we are.

0:39:350:39:38

Let's roll at 55, 65, 75,

0:39:380:39:42

85, 95, 100 bid.

0:39:420:39:45

I'm asking 110, now.

0:39:450:39:47

-Keep going, Charles!

-Come on, keep going!

-Hello!

0:39:470:39:50

..140, 150.

0:39:500:39:52

150, I'll take. I've got 160.

0:39:520:39:55

-Yes!

-170 is bid!

0:39:550:39:57

-ALL:

-Yes!

0:39:570:39:59

I'm asking 180 for this gorilla.

0:39:590:40:03

-180 for this gorilla. 180...

-Yes!

0:40:030:40:06

I've got 190 in the room.

0:40:060:40:08

-Oh!

-Looking for 200 now.

0:40:080:40:11

I shall sell to you.

0:40:110:40:12

Bid me at 200.

0:40:120:40:14

For the first time. For the second time.

0:40:140:40:17

They think it's all over.

0:40:170:40:19

It is now.

0:40:190:40:20

It's yours!

0:40:200:40:22

AUDIENCE APPLAUSE

0:40:220:40:25

-You did it! And a round of applause!

-Brilliant!

0:40:250:40:28

We made £25 profit on him.

0:40:280:40:31

You are up altogether £65.

0:40:310:40:33

-What are you going to do about your bonus buy?

-No!

0:40:330:40:36

-No?!

-No way.

-Oh!

-Well, we're going to sell it anyway.

0:40:360:40:39

David invested £30 in it. Here it comes. No pressure.

0:40:390:40:43

Where to start this? I'm only bid £10.

0:40:430:40:45

£10, I'm bid, now. 10, I'm bid. Let's go 12.

0:40:450:40:48

Come on. 12, 15 bid. Online bid, 18.

0:40:480:40:51

Fair warning. 15. I'm 18 there.

0:40:510:40:53

20, bid. 25! 30 bid, sir.

0:40:530:40:56

0:40:580:41:01

I'll take 2. 32, 35.

0:41:010:41:04

38, sir, you've come so far.

0:41:040:41:06

£40, 45.

0:41:060:41:08

40 I'm bid. Do I see 2 now?

0:41:080:41:10

£40 at the back.

0:41:100:41:12

Fair warning. Going, going, at £40.

0:41:120:41:15

Yeah, love it!

0:41:150:41:17

David, well done, you.

0:41:170:41:19

So that's a £10 profit on the bonus buy that you decided not to go with.

0:41:190:41:22

Well done, D, Fantastic result.

0:41:220:41:25

-So, overall you are still up £65.

-Woo-hoo!

0:41:250:41:27

Which is brilliant, well done. It could be a winning score.

0:41:270:41:31

Promise me, what have you not got to do?

0:41:310:41:33

-No talking to the Reds.

-No talking to the Red team.

0:41:330:41:36

-Well done.

-Thank you.

0:41:360:41:37

You guys, I have to say, as far as I'm concerned,

0:41:420:41:45

you are all winners today.

0:41:450:41:47

It has been a fantastic programme.

0:41:470:41:50

So, well done, everybody, because...

0:41:500:41:52

you're all going away with money!

0:41:520:41:55

-Really?!

-Whoo!

0:41:550:41:56

And as you know, unfortunately,

0:41:560:41:58

we do have to have some runners-up in Bargain Hunt.

0:41:580:42:01

And today, the runners up

0:42:010:42:04

-are the Blues.

-Oh!

-Oh, no!

0:42:040:42:07

Well, well!

0:42:070:42:08

-If you had gone with David's bonus buy...

-No!

0:42:080:42:13

-..you would have won!

-Oh!

0:42:130:42:15

Overall, you were up £65.

0:42:160:42:19

So there we are, £65.

0:42:190:42:20

-Who wants the readies?

-There we go.

0:42:200:42:22

-Well done, Fi, you've done brilliantly.

-Thank you.

0:42:220:42:24

You've been such good sports, so thank you so much.

0:42:240:42:26

-But the mighty Reds...

-Well, well.

-..are victorious!

0:42:260:42:29

-Amazing.

-Absolutely fantastic.

0:42:290:42:32

You made £70, so well done, you.

0:42:320:42:34
