0:00:04 > 0:00:06Today we're in London's Notting Hill.

0:00:08 > 0:00:11Not only made famous by the movie of the same name,

0:00:11 > 0:00:13but it also feels a lot like being in one.

0:00:16 > 0:00:18And today, we'll be screening our own production -

0:00:18 > 0:00:23boasting thrills and spills, comedy...and drama.

0:00:26 > 0:00:28Let's go Bargain Hunting.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55The Portobello Road has featured in the supporting casts

0:00:55 > 0:00:58of many great British films over the years,

0:00:58 > 0:01:02but its starring role has to be this fabulous street market.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05Just remember that our teams have got

0:01:05 > 0:01:09£300 and just one hour in which to buy three priceless objects.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12Let's have a look at the forthcoming attractions.

0:01:14 > 0:01:16Including improbable plot twists...

0:01:16 > 0:01:18You can't go back on a handshake, can you?

0:01:18 > 0:01:20- I feel bad for this. - I don't think I can.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22I feel bad.

0:01:22 > 0:01:23..far-fetched titles...

0:01:23 > 0:01:26That's what I'm going to call you, The Decision Maker.

0:01:26 > 0:01:28- You're the decision maker?- Yeah. - The Decision Maker it is.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31- Well, I'm the captain. - You're not the captain.

0:01:31 > 0:01:34..and of course a Hollywood ending.

0:01:34 > 0:01:36- 40, 45...- Internet!

0:01:36 > 0:01:39They can't quite believe that. I feel like I'm going to collapse.

0:01:39 > 0:01:40- LAUGHTER - £45.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42Yeah!

0:01:44 > 0:01:47But before all that, let's meet the teams.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49Now, for our Red team today, we have Dan and Holly.

0:01:49 > 0:01:52And for the Blues, we have Rufus and Rory. Hello, everyone.

0:01:52 > 0:01:54- ALL:- Hello.- How are you?

0:01:54 > 0:01:57- Very well.- Good.- Now, Dan, tell me how you met.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59- Something to do with music, I think. Is that right?- Yeah.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01So a couple of years ago, we met at a music festival,

0:02:01 > 0:02:03and Holly actually pitched next to me by coincidence,

0:02:03 > 0:02:06- and then we started chatting... - By coincidence?

0:02:06 > 0:02:08- By coincidence.- Yeah.- I think she followed me.- I was following him.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11- And we've been together ever since. - Have you? How long is that?

0:02:11 > 0:02:13- Two years, is it?- A bit more. Two and a half.- I got it wrong.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15Do you ever sing from the same hymn sheet?

0:02:15 > 0:02:17- Yeah.- Two and a half, I think it is.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21And you are a fitness trainer?

0:02:21 > 0:02:23- Yeah, personal training. - A personal trainer?- Yeah.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26- So I go to people's houses. - I could use you, frankly.- Yeah?

0:02:26 > 0:02:28At the end of the shopping, we'll have a meet up.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31- Do a workout together.- See if you can give me a little tip or two.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33- We will.- Now, Holly, you work for a charity? Starlight?

0:02:33 > 0:02:35- I do, yes. I'm a wish granter. - A wish granter?

0:02:35 > 0:02:38So, I grant wishes for seriously and terminally ill children...

0:02:38 > 0:02:41- Marvellous.- ..which is a really lovely job.- Yeah.

0:02:41 > 0:02:43- A very rewarding job, I should think.- Very rewarding, yeah.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46Now, as well as the two of you, there is a third mystery person

0:02:46 > 0:02:49- in your relationship. Is that right? - There is. Howard is the third man

0:02:49 > 0:02:50in our relationship.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53- He's a man?- He's a man. He's a budgie.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56- We should mention that bit. - Howard the budgie.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59- Howard the budgie. - How did he come into your lives?

0:02:59 > 0:03:01When we moved in together, we decided we wanted a pet,

0:03:01 > 0:03:04and a budgie seemed like a sensible option.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07So if Howard becomes ill, we of course have our two vets -

0:03:07 > 0:03:09Rufus and Rory - who will no doubt be able to treat the budgie.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12- Is that right?- Absolutely, yeah. Daily. We see budgies all the time.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14I'm sure you do. You major in budgies, don't you?

0:03:14 > 0:03:15Well, it's my speciality.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18Rory, what's the most interesting animal you've ever treated?

0:03:18 > 0:03:21We get spiders, we get to iguanas, snakes, all sorts.

0:03:21 > 0:03:22- Iguanas?- Iguanas.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24What was wrong with your iguana?

0:03:24 > 0:03:27Well, we had one with a broken leg, which was a bit of a nightmare.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29But we can treat them. It's good. It's lovely.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31- It's really nice to see a range of animals.- Wonderful.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34- And you're about to qualify? - Yeah, I qualify in four months,

0:03:34 > 0:03:36which I'm really looking forward to. I'm pretty nervous.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39- I've got some big exams coming up, but should be good.- Oh, Rufus.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41That sounds worrying. Are you getting a bit of tip

0:03:41 > 0:03:43- from the main man?- No. I actually still give him tips.

0:03:43 > 0:03:46Definitely, definitely giving him tips still, but, yeah.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49- Now, you two row together, don't you?- We do.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52Basically, we both joined rowing. He was a year ahead of me at uni

0:03:52 > 0:03:55and he instantly spotted that I was probably a lot more talented

0:03:55 > 0:03:57than him and definitely a lot better rower.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59And slightly more conceited.

0:03:59 > 0:04:02- Oh, I wouldn't say that.- Always. - Maybe a little bit.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05Now, is it true that you try and pass yourself off as twins?

0:04:05 > 0:04:07- Occasionally.- How did that start?

0:04:07 > 0:04:10So, we started doing it on nights out. It was just a bit of fun.

0:04:10 > 0:04:15It kind of got a bit out of hand at our graduation party this summer

0:04:15 > 0:04:19when my own aunt went up behind Rufus and hugged him from behind,

0:04:19 > 0:04:20thinking he was me.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22It was like, "Rory!" And I was like, "No!"

0:04:22 > 0:04:24Yeah, quickly corrected her.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26But I honestly still don't really see it,

0:04:26 > 0:04:28but apparently other people do.

0:04:28 > 0:04:29And neither do I.

0:04:29 > 0:04:31Well, I think we're going to have a great show.

0:04:31 > 0:04:34It's going to be very exciting, but you will need a bit of money.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36- £300, I think.- Then I've got 300. - Excellent.

0:04:36 > 0:04:39- Same for us as well, please. - I certainly have got 300 for you.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41- Thank you.- Off you go. Have a great time.

0:04:41 > 0:04:45- ALL:- Thank you.- What on earth are they going to buy?

0:04:45 > 0:04:46Let's meet our experts.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51Orbiting with the Reds is bargain-naut Thomas Plant.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55Boxing clever with the Blues,

0:04:55 > 0:04:57the gloves are off with Natasha Raskin.

0:04:59 > 0:05:00What are we going to spend it on?

0:05:00 > 0:05:04I'm thinking something that you put in a house. Something striking.

0:05:04 > 0:05:05A lamp, a vase.

0:05:05 > 0:05:08We're both sportsmen, and I think some sporting memorabilia's

0:05:08 > 0:05:10starting to sell well. I think that would be really good.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12- Silverware, that holds value well...- Good idea.

0:05:12 > 0:05:14..so we'll look for a bit of silver.

0:05:14 > 0:05:17Something we wouldn't see on Bargain Hunt. Something a bit odd.

0:05:17 > 0:05:21- OK.- Right, teams, your 60 minutes starts...now.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24- WHISTLE BLOWS - Let's go.- Let's go.- Come on, guys.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26- Come on.- So, the pressure's on.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28Or is it?

0:05:28 > 0:05:30Quite chilled out. I think we've got it in the bag,

0:05:30 > 0:05:32so maybe there's no need for stress.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35- I think we should just go. - Do you know who your opposition is?

0:05:35 > 0:05:36You're up against Thomas Plant.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39Quite. I don't wish to alarm you, Blues,

0:05:39 > 0:05:42but Mr Plant already has his mitts on something.

0:05:42 > 0:05:43These are South American.

0:05:43 > 0:05:48- OK.- And they're a gourd, and they're carved with fabulous decoration.

0:05:48 > 0:05:49They're quite tourist bits,

0:05:49 > 0:05:52but this one has got all these sort of scenes going on.

0:05:52 > 0:05:54- How much is the gourd?- DEALER:- 40. - £40.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58- You're not giving it any love, are you?- I'm not sold on it.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01- You're not sold on it, no.- I want something that's a bit more showy.

0:06:01 > 0:06:02- You want something wow.- Yeah.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05The GOURD, the bad and the ugly, say the Reds.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07What news from the Blues?

0:06:07 > 0:06:09- Anything standing out straightaway? - That.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11That blade right there is looking perfect.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13Sorry, is that some cool jargon?

0:06:13 > 0:06:15- Is that actually the term, the blade?- BOTH:- The blade, yeah.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18It sounded a bit street there. Nice blade.

0:06:18 > 0:06:22- Actually, tell us about it. 1923 is the date.- Indeed.

0:06:22 > 0:06:23- King's.- King's College, Cambridge.

0:06:23 > 0:06:26Rivals of yours?

0:06:26 > 0:06:28- We've rode on the Cam a few times. - We wish they were rivals.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30- They're a little bit better than us. - Yeah.

0:06:30 > 0:06:34Let's have a look cos... How big is your blade? Oh, right, OK.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36Do you think that's actually fared quite well? I would say so.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38- I would say so, yeah. - One small nick out the top.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41Shall we ask him how much he's got on this? Excuse me, sir.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43- DEALER:- Hello.- May we ask kindly how much we have on this blade?

0:06:43 > 0:06:45You can certainly ask, yeah. It's 450.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47£450!

0:06:47 > 0:06:50- I wasn't expecting you to have such expensive taste.- Well...

0:06:50 > 0:06:51OK. Let's put it back.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53Yes. Step away now.

0:06:54 > 0:06:58Thomas meanwhile has already spotted something else.

0:06:58 > 0:07:00- I like the labels for the booze. - How much are they together?

0:07:00 > 0:07:02- DEALER:- They are £30.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04- There's a set.- Would they be appealing to anyone?

0:07:04 > 0:07:06- They are quite cool actually, aren't they?- Yeah.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09- They are different, aren't they? - There are six of them there.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Do you like the spirit?- We do.- We do.- We like a tipple now and again.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14There you are. Let's just get out three. We can see what they are.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17- So I've got bourbon. - I've got cognac.- And port.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20- And port.- Oh, I do like port. - Really?- Yeah.

0:07:20 > 0:07:24My mum got me drinking port quite young, So...

0:07:24 > 0:07:25Me too!

0:07:25 > 0:07:28They're made in Sweden. Sporrongs is the maker.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30I just think they're unique. I've not seen anything like it.

0:07:30 > 0:07:31I've never seen this ever.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34And like you said, it's something that's a bit different

0:07:34 > 0:07:35to what you normally have in your home.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38- Shall we have a think about it? - Yeah, we'll think about that one.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41- We're not in a hurry yet.- Good start at shopping but you like them?

0:07:41 > 0:07:43- BOTH:- Yeah.- £30. That's a fiver each.

0:07:43 > 0:07:45- It's not bad at all. Have a think. - We'll have a think.

0:07:45 > 0:07:46They're going to be here. OK.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49And they may well be back...around last orders.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54Anything immediately jumping out to you?

0:07:54 > 0:07:56I like the look of the door knocker to begin with.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59I think that's a really good thing. Why did you like it so much?

0:07:59 > 0:08:00I think it's got really piercing eyes.

0:08:00 > 0:08:04And I think, obviously, the animal theme runs quite strong with us.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06I actually think that would have quite good appeal

0:08:06 > 0:08:10in an auction house because door knockers are quite collectable.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13Now, what do you reckon about age? Let's have a look at the back.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15The back's not really giving much away, to be honest.

0:08:15 > 0:08:18But obviously, there's a bit of corrosion there,

0:08:18 > 0:08:19so it must be quite old.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21I think it's difficult to mock that up in such a fashion.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23I think that looks like it's got a wee bit of age.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26- Shall we ask how much it is?- Yeah, why not?- I'm dying to know.

0:08:26 > 0:08:28- Hello, sir.- DEALER:- Hello.

0:08:28 > 0:08:31Could you tell us how much you have on your interesting door knocker?

0:08:31 > 0:08:33- £50.- £50? OK.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36- Well, it's less scary than what we've heard thus far.- It is.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38Maybe in the spirit of the game, we could ask

0:08:38 > 0:08:40for a wee bit of negotiation.

0:08:40 > 0:08:41Does anyone want to take the lead on that?

0:08:41 > 0:08:44Yeah, I might hit you with a little bit lower than that.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46I maybe think...maybe £20?

0:08:46 > 0:08:48'I think you're going far too low for 20.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51'I'd go down to 45 for you.'

0:08:51 > 0:08:54£45. I mean, it's a good deal. It's a cool thing.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56I genuinely think it will catch peoples' eye.

0:08:56 > 0:08:59- It is different.- It caught your eye, anyway.- Yeah, definitely.

0:08:59 > 0:09:00Very piercing. Very piercing.

0:09:00 > 0:09:04- It's an animal-related item. - Exactly. It fits.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06- I think we can say thank you ever so much.- BOYS:- Thank you.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09- And we've got one item off the mark. - Awesome.- Perfect.

0:09:09 > 0:09:12Let's move on because time is ticking. So go. Grab it and go.

0:09:13 > 0:09:14Our vets are off the mark

0:09:14 > 0:09:17and the Reds are asking all the right questions.

0:09:17 > 0:09:20- Is this a vase?- It is a vase, Holly, yes. You're quite right.

0:09:20 > 0:09:24I thought there might be another use for it or something.

0:09:24 > 0:09:27No. No, it's a purely decorative item. It is fabulous.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30- I wonder if that's in our price tag. - How much is this?

0:09:30 > 0:09:32£140.

0:09:32 > 0:09:34- 140? OK.- That's in.- That is in.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36Right, so what did you like about it when you saw it?

0:09:36 > 0:09:38It just caught my eye. It stood out.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41- It's the sort of thing we're looking for.- It does, doesn't it?

0:09:41 > 0:09:43- You wanted a striking piece. - And where do you think it's from?

0:09:43 > 0:09:45- Italy.- Yes, your guess.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47I think it looks a bit more Oriental.

0:09:47 > 0:09:48- Go with Holly on this one.- Oriental?

0:09:48 > 0:09:51I think it's Chinese 1920s, I would have thought.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53And this is called cloisonne.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55I think it's got a lot going for it. It's showy.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58- That's what you were after, wasn't it?- It's ticking all my boxes.

0:09:58 > 0:10:00- Looked after it well. - It's ticking all your boxes?

0:10:00 > 0:10:02- And it comes with a stand as well. - It does.- I like the stand.

0:10:02 > 0:10:05- You like the stand more than the vase!- I'd buy that.

0:10:05 > 0:10:06The wooden Oriental stand?

0:10:06 > 0:10:08- What's your thoughts? - My thinking was if I like it,

0:10:08 > 0:10:10- someone else will like it. - There we go.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12Really good. It's a really good thought.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15- Is there negotiation on price, do you reckon?- Shall we see?

0:10:15 > 0:10:17Go on, then. What's the best price you can do on this?

0:10:17 > 0:10:19- DEALER:- 110.- Could you go 100?

0:10:19 > 0:10:21- 110. I'm sorry.- OK.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23110. Yeah, you're going to do it?

0:10:23 > 0:10:25- Well done you.- Shall we shake?

0:10:25 > 0:10:28- DEALER:- Thank you very much. - Big-spending start, you lot.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30- Awesome. Come on, guys. Let's go. - Let's go.

0:10:30 > 0:10:33Meanwhile, Natasha's been on a solo rummage.

0:10:34 > 0:10:35Before you run off with the knocker,

0:10:35 > 0:10:39I just headed back because I just saw the coolest thing on that stall.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42You might hate it, you might love it. I just want to show it to you.

0:10:42 > 0:10:45- OK. Show us.- It's such an interesting little watercolour.

0:10:45 > 0:10:48Now, when you were learning veterinary medicine,

0:10:48 > 0:10:51did they teach you to hypnotise the animals as anaesthetic?

0:10:51 > 0:10:53Unfortunately not. That would be pretty cool.

0:10:53 > 0:10:56That would have been cool cos that's exactly what's happening here.

0:10:56 > 0:10:59It looks Continental. It's signed FZ or something.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02Dated 1928. So that interwar period.

0:11:02 > 0:11:06Here you've got the doctor with his big pointy moustache

0:11:06 > 0:11:08and his excellent look, hypnotising this person.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10Look at the colour of him.

0:11:10 > 0:11:13- It doesn't look like he's enjoying it.- So what's broken there?

0:11:13 > 0:11:14- Tell me which bone is broken. - Eugh, tibia.

0:11:14 > 0:11:17- The tibia's broken. - Gosh, they know their stuff.

0:11:17 > 0:11:20And look at this wee naughty doggy, coming up and licking on the blood.

0:11:20 > 0:11:22It's got such appeal, but does it appeal to you?

0:11:22 > 0:11:24It's got character, yeah. It's really cool.

0:11:24 > 0:11:26I like it. It's kind of creepy. I quite like it.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29- Are you into the macabre?- Yeah, I like it.- Yeah, it's just odd.

0:11:29 > 0:11:31It's not something you'd see anywhere.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33- Now, the stallholder's price on it is 40 quid.- OK.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35I reckon I could get him down a wee bit,

0:11:35 > 0:11:37but he told me that he really likes it.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39So it might not have a lot of movement on it. What do you think?

0:11:39 > 0:11:41If I could get that for 30 quid for you, would you...?

0:11:41 > 0:11:44- We would definitely be keen for that, I'd say.- I think so.

0:11:44 > 0:11:46If you could maybe get it down a little bit, that would be great.

0:11:46 > 0:11:48- I'll try my best. - Unique.- Perfect.- OK.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51So Natasha's off to work her magic,

0:11:51 > 0:11:54but what is a good price for such an odd daub?

0:11:54 > 0:11:56- What are you thinking price-wise? - The guy's asking 40.

0:11:56 > 0:11:58I'm not sure I'd want to pay that. That's quite a lot.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01- I don't think I'd want to pay...20. - Well, I think possibly

0:12:01 > 0:12:02we could stretch to about 25, 30.

0:12:02 > 0:12:05But I think even that's going to be pushing it a little bit.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08And I will come back. OK, boys... Here we go.

0:12:08 > 0:12:10Here we go.

0:12:10 > 0:12:12- Were you keen at £40?- We weren't.

0:12:12 > 0:12:14- We weren't, no. - You weren't keen at £40.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16We said max 30, 35ish.

0:12:16 > 0:12:18- Max 30, 35?- Yeah.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21I'll tell you what then, I've just shaken hands with the gentleman.

0:12:23 > 0:12:25- Awkward.- I don't know what to do.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28- I thought you said you were OK at 40.- It's fine. It's fine.

0:12:28 > 0:12:31Well, you can go back and you can say you weren't happy at 40.

0:12:31 > 0:12:33Would you do it for 35? But he won't do it for any lower.

0:12:33 > 0:12:35- He won't do any lower? - He won't do it any lower.

0:12:35 > 0:12:38- I'm not convinced for 40.- I'm not. - Too late now.

0:12:38 > 0:12:39OK. What do we do?

0:12:39 > 0:12:41But you can't go back on a handshake, can you?

0:12:41 > 0:12:44- I feel bad for this. - I don't think I can.- I feel bad.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46It's 40 quid. It's too much.

0:12:46 > 0:12:49- I mean, we still have 200 for our third buy. That's a lot.- I know.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52I think if you went for 40, you'd really be throwing us under the bus

0:12:52 > 0:12:53- there but...- Oh, come on!

0:12:53 > 0:12:56- There is a dog in there.- There is a dog there.- Shall we take it?

0:12:56 > 0:12:58- We'll do it for 40.- Well...

0:12:58 > 0:13:00Just for you, because we don't want to embarrass you.

0:13:00 > 0:13:01On national tele!

0:13:01 > 0:13:03I tell you what, not only was this on the line,

0:13:03 > 0:13:06my whole blinking reputation! You had me going there.

0:13:06 > 0:13:09I'm sorry, I'm sorry. We'll take it.

0:13:09 > 0:13:12So with the Blue team's morale looking shaky,

0:13:12 > 0:13:14what's the feeling in the Red camp?

0:13:14 > 0:13:16- Dan, you've got to find something now.- Don't put the pressure on me.

0:13:16 > 0:13:20- The pressure's on.- The pressure's on me now.- We have the decision maker.

0:13:20 > 0:13:22That's what I'm going to call you, The Decision Maker.

0:13:22 > 0:13:24- You're the decision maker?- Yeah! - The Decision Maker, it is.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27- I'm the captain. - You're not the captain.

0:13:27 > 0:13:30Crumbs! They're not exactly presenting a united front either.

0:13:30 > 0:13:35Natasha, meanwhile, is unapologetic about that watercolour.

0:13:35 > 0:13:37Yes, the picture at £40, perhaps I should have asked

0:13:37 > 0:13:39the boys' permission before I shook on that,

0:13:39 > 0:13:41but I still think that has legs

0:13:41 > 0:13:44because what a weird, macabre subject.

0:13:44 > 0:13:46I've never seen anything like it.

0:13:46 > 0:13:49It looks like Thomas is pushing his luck, too.

0:13:49 > 0:13:51Guys, do you want to come in? I've found something.

0:13:51 > 0:13:53- What's this? - Well, this is a shell case.

0:13:53 > 0:13:56It's got an N II catapult. So, it's military.

0:13:56 > 0:13:58Dated 1939.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01I don't know what sort of catapult or box it would be for.

0:14:01 > 0:14:03- Some research needs to be done into this...- Yeah.

0:14:03 > 0:14:06- ..to find out what it is. You're not giving it any love, are you?- No.

0:14:06 > 0:14:09This is something I'd be looking to use for storage.

0:14:09 > 0:14:11Yeah, in a funky flat. It's not unattractive.

0:14:11 > 0:14:14- I suppose it's a bit of a talking point.- It is a talking point.

0:14:14 > 0:14:17Although it all depends on the price with that one, I suppose.

0:14:17 > 0:14:19- How much is it, sir?- DEALER:- 35.

0:14:19 > 0:14:21- £35.- 35.- OK.

0:14:21 > 0:14:23It's not unreasonable.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25I don't love it, but I've already spoken a lot, so...

0:14:25 > 0:14:28- I'm not a huge fan of that item, myself.- All right, no worries.

0:14:28 > 0:14:29All right, OK.

0:14:29 > 0:14:32They've steadfastly resisted Thomas' pitch.

0:14:32 > 0:14:34Right, we've been shopping for about 20 minutes now.

0:14:34 > 0:14:36- You've got one item. Let's go find some more.- Let's go.

0:14:38 > 0:14:41The Blues, meanwhile, are playing it cool.

0:14:41 > 0:14:44- BOTH:- # I'm all shook up Uh-huh-huh. #

0:14:47 > 0:14:49- We shouldn't dance. - No, we shouldn't.

0:14:49 > 0:14:51I concur.

0:14:52 > 0:14:55Thomas, meanwhile, is still presenting his case.

0:14:55 > 0:14:57So you didn't like my shell case?

0:14:57 > 0:14:59I don't know why you didn't like my shell case.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02I don't know if many people would want to buy it.

0:15:02 > 0:15:03- We need to rein you in.- Rein me in.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06- Stop me from buying things like that.- Yeah.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08Let it lie, Thomas.

0:15:08 > 0:15:11Now, Natasha's about to broach one of her favourite subjects.

0:15:11 > 0:15:14Did it occur to you that you could buy a bit of jewellery?

0:15:14 > 0:15:16- I have no idea about anything with jewellery.- I really like...

0:15:16 > 0:15:18- Which one do you like?- The toucan.

0:15:18 > 0:15:21OK. So tell us more about the toucan.

0:15:21 > 0:15:24Do they have any extra special needs, toucans?

0:15:24 > 0:15:27Specific diseases to the toucan?

0:15:27 > 0:15:29I've actually never encountered a toucan.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31- You've never run into a toucan? - No.- No.

0:15:31 > 0:15:35I'm not going to lie, I'm not really sold on the whole jewellery thing.

0:15:35 > 0:15:37You're not sold on jewellery, full stop?

0:15:37 > 0:15:39- I think we pass on and the jewellery.- I think we pass. Sorry.

0:15:39 > 0:15:41I know we keep going against what you're saying

0:15:41 > 0:15:44- and you're not happy about it. - I was lumped with two men today.

0:15:44 > 0:15:46- Can you believe it? - DEALER:- Sorry about that!

0:15:46 > 0:15:49- RUFUS:- So insulting! - I think I'll say thank you for now.

0:15:49 > 0:15:52However much they leave me, I might be back. You never know.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55- DEALER:- Good luck! - Thank you very much. Thank you.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58Our experts are struggling a bit today.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01With time running out, the Reds are having a rethink.

0:16:01 > 0:16:04We can always run back up and get the little drink things.

0:16:04 > 0:16:06We've got our backups, the drink labels.

0:16:06 > 0:16:08Yeah. Anything else?

0:16:08 > 0:16:11- You want us to take the catapult box, don't you?- Yeah.

0:16:11 > 0:16:12- Catapult box.- I'm not keen on it.

0:16:12 > 0:16:1525 minutes to go. 35 gone already.

0:16:15 > 0:16:18It's a lovely walk, though. We're having a lovely walk.

0:16:18 > 0:16:21- A very bracing walk here.- I do know Portobello Road a lot better now.

0:16:21 > 0:16:24- I quite want to buy the drinks labels.- Right, done.

0:16:24 > 0:16:25Let's do it. Go on, go on.

0:16:25 > 0:16:28Sounds like our decision maker has spoken.

0:16:28 > 0:16:31- This right. This way, come on. - Great. Come on, Dan.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33Show us your fitness skills.

0:16:34 > 0:16:36- We've got to buy now.- Hello.

0:16:36 > 0:16:38- We're back again.- DEALER:- £40 now.

0:16:38 > 0:16:40- DAN:- £40 now.

0:16:41 > 0:16:43We haven't been gone that long have we?

0:16:43 > 0:16:45Remind me what we said before. Was it 30?

0:16:45 > 0:16:48- 25, was it? - And that is the best you can do?

0:16:48 > 0:16:49It is.

0:16:49 > 0:16:51- OK.- DAN:- I'm happy with them.

0:16:51 > 0:16:53- Are you happy with them? - I think buy.

0:16:53 > 0:16:56You've got a deal. We'll take them off your hands.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58Would you like them giftwrapped?

0:16:58 > 0:16:59No, I think we'll be all right.

0:17:02 > 0:17:06That makes the score two-two with just ten minutes left.

0:17:06 > 0:17:09I think they're very strong-minded, these two, Dan and Holly.

0:17:09 > 0:17:11They know what they like.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15They're listening to me a little bit,

0:17:15 > 0:17:18but I think they've got their own agenda.

0:17:18 > 0:17:21The Blues, meanwhile, have decided that photography

0:17:21 > 0:17:22might be their thing.

0:17:22 > 0:17:24Anything that you particularly like?

0:17:24 > 0:17:26- I quite like the look of this one here.- Yeah.

0:17:26 > 0:17:29OK. We've got a name on it there. Sanderson.

0:17:29 > 0:17:33The maker of the actual wooden element of the camera, not the lens.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36It's got those nice bellows. They look to be in nice order.

0:17:36 > 0:17:38It collapses into its original case.

0:17:38 > 0:17:41- Looks beautiful.- Am I selling it to you?- Yeah, absolutely.

0:17:41 > 0:17:44- I don't think it needs any selling. - OK. So you're saying you'd buy it?

0:17:44 > 0:17:46How much would you spend on it?

0:17:46 > 0:17:49- As little as possible.- Yeah.

0:17:49 > 0:17:50How much is the price on it?

0:17:50 > 0:17:53- DEALER:- The original price is £160.

0:17:53 > 0:17:57- £160.- So it's quite steep, but I think we can go lower than that.

0:17:57 > 0:18:00We're going to throw a big one here. Can we go as low as 100?

0:18:00 > 0:18:04- DEALER:- I can do £110.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06The thing is that I made a bit of a rash decision

0:18:06 > 0:18:10and I bought a wild medical watercolour without your permission.

0:18:10 > 0:18:11- It happened.- Yeah, bring it up.

0:18:11 > 0:18:13You know, we're going to have to go through therapy

0:18:13 > 0:18:16and I'm willing to pay for those sessions,

0:18:16 > 0:18:19but are you willing to pay £110 for this camera?

0:18:19 > 0:18:21- That's what it boils down to. - I think so.- I love it.

0:18:21 > 0:18:25- I like it.- It's beautiful. It is really lovely.- I really like it.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27You know what I'd do? I'd just shake hands.

0:18:27 > 0:18:30You know, that's how I play the game usually.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32Right, done. Thank you.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34Thank you very much. I'm going to join in, too.

0:18:34 > 0:18:35There's our final item.

0:18:37 > 0:18:40Now, with just a few minutes left, Dan may be about to have his say.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43- I like this one. I like this one a lot. What do you reckon?- I like it.

0:18:43 > 0:18:46- It's something different, isn't it? - I really like it as well.

0:18:46 > 0:18:49- I think it's a nice piece.- I think Tom's going to hate it, though.

0:18:49 > 0:18:52- Tom.- Yes.- What do you reckon about this? Do you like this?

0:18:52 > 0:18:54What do you think I'd say about this?

0:18:54 > 0:18:55You'd probably say it's...

0:18:55 > 0:18:57- The catapult would be better than this, maybe.- Ouch!

0:18:57 > 0:19:00Now, come on. I think this is really decorative. How much is it?

0:19:00 > 0:19:02- It's £38, this one. - It's your cup of tea.

0:19:02 > 0:19:05- This is mine, not yours.- All right. I agree with you, though.

0:19:05 > 0:19:08- Are you with me? - I think it could sell.

0:19:08 > 0:19:09I think it's a nice piece.

0:19:09 > 0:19:11I think it's all right.

0:19:11 > 0:19:13- It's not an improvement. - It's not, no?

0:19:13 > 0:19:14Is it going to be that old?

0:19:14 > 0:19:17- Is this going to be a tourist piece? - No. It doesn't look too old.

0:19:17 > 0:19:19It doesn't look too old, does it? No.

0:19:19 > 0:19:21You can see it doesn't look like an old piece of wood, this.

0:19:21 > 0:19:23May I offer you 20?

0:19:23 > 0:19:25As it's a windy day, I'll give in.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27THEY CHEER

0:19:27 > 0:19:30- Sold?- Well, it's an ill wind and all that.

0:19:30 > 0:19:32- Are you going to do it?- Yeah. - Shake the man's hand.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34- Thank you, sir.- Thank you. - You've got a deal.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36Right, teams. Your 60 minutes are up.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39- It's better than the catapult box. - Yeah.

0:19:39 > 0:19:41I'm going.

0:19:41 > 0:19:43Now that's just rubbing it in.

0:19:43 > 0:19:46But while he calms down, let's have a look at what the Reds have bought.

0:19:48 > 0:19:52Holly's box ticking cloisonne vase for £110.

0:19:54 > 0:19:57The made in Sweden decanter labels for £30.

0:19:59 > 0:20:04Dan's definitely-not-expert-approved tribal mask for £20.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07Holly, Dan, you've had a good time, haven't you?

0:20:07 > 0:20:09- We have.- It's been really good.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11Wonderful time with this man.

0:20:11 > 0:20:13So, which is your favourite item?

0:20:13 > 0:20:16I really like the vase because I chose it. It was kind of my item.

0:20:16 > 0:20:18Dan, favourite?

0:20:18 > 0:20:20Mine wasn't the vase. Mine was the African mask.

0:20:20 > 0:20:21The African mask? Yeah.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23Which Dan chose.

0:20:23 > 0:20:26Very good. And you chose nothing, Thomas.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28Holly, which do you think is going to make the biggest profit?

0:20:28 > 0:20:31- I like the vase, but it was quite expensive...- Was it?

0:20:31 > 0:20:33- ..so I'm going to say the African mask.- Oh, my goodness.

0:20:33 > 0:20:35Because it's the best product.

0:20:35 > 0:20:37- How much did you spend? - £160 in total.

0:20:37 > 0:20:40That's what I thought. Which must leave him 140?

0:20:40 > 0:20:42Yeah, 140. There you go.

0:20:42 > 0:20:45Let me just handle it briefly before I hand it over to you.

0:20:45 > 0:20:48Thomas, at last, you're going to be able to spend some money

0:20:48 > 0:20:49on something you want.

0:20:49 > 0:20:52Yeah. And I'll be able to talk to myself, and I will listen!

0:20:53 > 0:20:55So, while Thomas Plant talks to himself,

0:20:55 > 0:20:59let's check out what the Blue team have bought.

0:20:59 > 0:21:02The pet panther door knocker for £45.

0:21:03 > 0:21:08Natasha's rogue, weird watercolour for a controversial £40.

0:21:09 > 0:21:14Vet's choice - their plate camera. Snapped up for £110.

0:21:14 > 0:21:17Rory, Rufus, apparently, your expert did something

0:21:17 > 0:21:20- without your permission? Is this true?- She was a bit of a fugitive.

0:21:20 > 0:21:22No, we had no idea. She came back and was like, "Guys, this is £40."

0:21:22 > 0:21:24- And we weren't happy.- Disastrous!

0:21:24 > 0:21:26It's fine. She knows what she's doing. Well, we hope.

0:21:26 > 0:21:29I mean, it's a really saleable, commercial item, I would say.

0:21:30 > 0:21:32- Carry on digging.- I hope so.

0:21:32 > 0:21:34So, Rory, what's your favourite lot?

0:21:34 > 0:21:37- I think it's that one, to be honest. - You think that's your favourite?

0:21:37 > 0:21:39As much as it was bought behind our back...

0:21:40 > 0:21:41- I think it's pretty quirky.- Rufus?

0:21:41 > 0:21:43Apart from the complete subterfuge,

0:21:43 > 0:21:45I would have to go with the painting.

0:21:45 > 0:21:47Everybody likes the painting. That's great.

0:21:47 > 0:21:50What's going to make the biggest profit?

0:21:50 > 0:21:52- I think the door knocker. - The door knocker.

0:21:52 > 0:21:54- It's definitely a hidden gem. - That's wonderful.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56- And how much did you spend? - We spent £195.

0:21:56 > 0:22:00£195. So, I need 105.

0:22:00 > 0:22:02- That's for you.- £105.

0:22:02 > 0:22:06Natasha Raskin, this is your lucky day.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08- I thought you were going to say, "This is your life."- No, no!

0:22:08 > 0:22:12- What are you going to do?- So, I think weird, novel, random...

0:22:12 > 0:22:15- Perfect for us.- ..along those lines. - We expect huge things.- Wonderful.

0:22:15 > 0:22:19So while Natasha goes off to look for something really weird,

0:22:19 > 0:22:21I'm off to another wonderful location.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28Nicknamed Mini Manhattan,

0:22:28 > 0:22:32the South London town of Croydon has always been pretty forward-thinking.

0:22:34 > 0:22:37And when it comes to aviation, this place once led the world.

0:22:40 > 0:22:42- Good morning. Charlie Ross. - Colin Ockendon.

0:22:42 > 0:22:45Welcome to the world's first purpose-built air terminal.

0:22:45 > 0:22:46Fantastic.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50Passenger flights from Croydon aerodrome

0:22:50 > 0:22:53began around the turn of the 1920s.

0:22:53 > 0:22:57And with the completion of this fine building in 1928,

0:22:57 > 0:23:00it became London's main airport and customs point.

0:23:00 > 0:23:04Croydon to Paris Le Bourget was the world's busiest air route.

0:23:05 > 0:23:10So, Colin, largely things are the same now as they were in 1928?

0:23:10 > 0:23:12Yes. This area here was the booking hall.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15Down each of the walls on each side were the check-in desks.

0:23:15 > 0:23:18The average transit times would have been of the order of 20 minutes.

0:23:18 > 0:23:20Good grief. We'd like to do that nowadays, wouldn't we?

0:23:20 > 0:23:22- Wouldn't we just?- But you didn't have all the checks.

0:23:22 > 0:23:25- You didn't have customs and all that sort of stuff?- Yes. Oh, yes.

0:23:25 > 0:23:27All were carried out here in a very efficient manner.

0:23:27 > 0:23:30Although the airport has now been closed to passenger flights

0:23:30 > 0:23:33for almost 60 years, the museum -

0:23:33 > 0:23:36tucked away beneath the old air control tower -

0:23:36 > 0:23:39is a fascinating record of a vanished age.

0:23:39 > 0:23:41And what have we got here?

0:23:41 > 0:23:44Well, this is a Handley Page HP 42.

0:23:44 > 0:23:47I mean, it looks to me, with those struts and things,

0:23:47 > 0:23:48a little bit Heath Robinson to me.

0:23:48 > 0:23:51Well, no. I mean, it was state-of-the-art at the time.

0:23:51 > 0:23:54It was one of the very first aircraft that was built of metal.

0:23:54 > 0:23:57- Yeah.- Prior to that, aircraft were made of wood and fabric.

0:23:57 > 0:24:00- Yes.- And the fact that it had four engines as well was important

0:24:00 > 0:24:03because that meant that even if two of the engines failed,

0:24:03 > 0:24:06the aircraft could still continue to fly.

0:24:06 > 0:24:10And Imperial Airways actually used that as a marketing ploy,

0:24:10 > 0:24:13saying that this was the safest aircraft that had ever flown,

0:24:13 > 0:24:15and nobody actually ever died while flying in one of these.

0:24:15 > 0:24:18What a wonderful record.

0:24:18 > 0:24:19Safer than you'd think.

0:24:19 > 0:24:21But not exactly comfortable

0:24:21 > 0:24:24because before the invention of pressurised cabins,

0:24:24 > 0:24:26you were likely to have a bumpy ride.

0:24:27 > 0:24:31So here we have an example of a very early aircraft seat,

0:24:31 > 0:24:34made of just wicker and designed to be as light as possible

0:24:34 > 0:24:37because weight was a crucial element in aircraft design.

0:24:37 > 0:24:38It looks like a conservatory seat.

0:24:38 > 0:24:40It doesn't look like an aeroplane seat.

0:24:40 > 0:24:41Well, that's right.

0:24:41 > 0:24:45Passenger comfort wasn't high on the list of design criteria,

0:24:45 > 0:24:48but passengers in those days were actually weighed themselves.

0:24:48 > 0:24:50- You wouldn't get away with that today, would you?- Well, no.

0:24:50 > 0:24:52You might not. But it was very important

0:24:52 > 0:24:54because if you had a heavy passenger on one side,

0:24:54 > 0:24:57you had to have an equally heavy passenger on the other side,

0:24:57 > 0:24:59otherwise the aircraft was unbalanced.

0:25:00 > 0:25:04Flying, of course, was only available to the very wealthy,

0:25:04 > 0:25:10with a 1925 return to Paris clocking in at almost £600 in today's money.

0:25:10 > 0:25:13Mind you, it was all quite opulent.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15And there's a picture of an aircraft,

0:25:15 > 0:25:18which has actually been converted effectively into a restaurant

0:25:18 > 0:25:22with straps to hold the tablecloths in place and...

0:25:22 > 0:25:25And the bottles. There's a sort of framework holding all the bottles.

0:25:25 > 0:25:27That's it. To stop them falling over.

0:25:27 > 0:25:29It was certainly a rich man's pastime.

0:25:30 > 0:25:33Especially when travelling further afield.

0:25:33 > 0:25:37And Croydon was at the centre of a rapidly expanding network.

0:25:37 > 0:25:40So, here we have a globe on which we've placed pins,

0:25:40 > 0:25:43and each of those pins represents a stopover.

0:25:43 > 0:25:45So staying in a hotel on the way.

0:25:45 > 0:25:47And you can see the distance to Australia.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49You go all the way down there.

0:25:49 > 0:25:53A simple trip to Baghdad would have been a seven-day operation,

0:25:53 > 0:25:56- staying six nights in a hotel on the way.- How incredibly exciting.

0:25:56 > 0:25:58Oh, yes. It was almost a holiday getting there.

0:25:58 > 0:26:02And I mean, this was really the whole history of Croydon Airport

0:26:02 > 0:26:04because it was the hub of opening up these routes

0:26:04 > 0:26:06and establishing all these stop-off points.

0:26:08 > 0:26:12Paving the way for passengers were the record-breaking aviators

0:26:12 > 0:26:13of the '20s and '30s

0:26:13 > 0:26:17with our aerodrome usually featuring in the headlines.

0:26:17 > 0:26:21So some of the most famous pilots of all time have used this airport?

0:26:21 > 0:26:22Indeed, yes.

0:26:22 > 0:26:25Charles Lindbergh, of course, was the first man to fly solo

0:26:25 > 0:26:27- across the Atlantic. - In the Spirit of St Louis?

0:26:27 > 0:26:30Indeed. He actually landed originally in Paris

0:26:30 > 0:26:33and then eventually flew on to Croydon here,

0:26:33 > 0:26:35and the press had announced his arrival,

0:26:35 > 0:26:38and as a result of that, the world and his wife turned up...

0:26:38 > 0:26:41- 10,000 people, they say. - Indeed. That's right, yes.

0:26:41 > 0:26:43And they all swarmed onto the airfield

0:26:43 > 0:26:46- and made his landing a rather tricky business.- Gosh.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48Of course, the other very important person is Amy Johnson.

0:26:48 > 0:26:51Her claim to fame is that she managed to fly solo

0:26:51 > 0:26:54from Croydon Airport all the way to Australia,

0:26:54 > 0:26:56and it took her 19 and a half days to do so.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58An idol of her time.

0:26:58 > 0:27:01Oh, yes. And she became a fashion icon as well.

0:27:02 > 0:27:04But Croydon's greatest pioneers

0:27:04 > 0:27:08might well have been the backroom boys of air traffic control.

0:27:08 > 0:27:10Under the leadership of Fred Mockford,

0:27:10 > 0:27:12they introduced life-saving innovations

0:27:12 > 0:27:14like radio-position fixing...

0:27:14 > 0:27:18- Where those lines cross...- Yes. - ..is the location of the aircraft.

0:27:18 > 0:27:21- I'm over Brighton.- Yes, indeed.

0:27:21 > 0:27:24..and even came up with the word which replaced SOS.

0:27:24 > 0:27:26One thing that was tried here at Croydon

0:27:26 > 0:27:30was the use of the word mayday as an international distress call.

0:27:30 > 0:27:33Mayday! Mayday! Where did that come from?

0:27:33 > 0:27:35Well, it comes from the French mayday - help me.

0:27:35 > 0:27:38Oh, right. Aidez moi. Mayday. I've got it. I've got it.

0:27:38 > 0:27:40Ah, you're there. Well done.

0:27:40 > 0:27:42And that was instigated here?

0:27:42 > 0:27:45And became internationally recognised and is still used today.

0:27:47 > 0:27:50But having led the way for so many years,

0:27:50 > 0:27:53after World War II, Croydon began to lose its status

0:27:53 > 0:27:55as London's international airport.

0:27:56 > 0:27:59Hemmed in by housing and light industry,

0:27:59 > 0:28:02the runways were no longer suitable for the latest airliners.

0:28:02 > 0:28:06And after the final passenger flight in 1959,

0:28:06 > 0:28:08the tide advanced still further.

0:28:09 > 0:28:13And now this small piece of tarmac in Roundshaw Park

0:28:13 > 0:28:17is all that's left of Croydon's historic runways.

0:28:17 > 0:28:19I wonder if things are going to take off at the auction?

0:28:22 > 0:28:24A mere stone's throw from Croydon,

0:28:24 > 0:28:26we've come to Catherine Southon's auction room.

0:28:26 > 0:28:28- Catherine, hello. - Thank you for coming.

0:28:28 > 0:28:33Well, the Red team were under the guiding hand of Mr Thomas Plant...

0:28:33 > 0:28:35- Oh, always good.- ..and they've come up with these items.

0:28:35 > 0:28:38- What do you think?- I do like the vase. I love this cloisonne vase.

0:28:38 > 0:28:41- It's beautiful colours, nice bright colours.- Yeah.

0:28:41 > 0:28:42The good thing is, it's Chinese.

0:28:42 > 0:28:44The bad thing is...it's late. It's modern.

0:28:44 > 0:28:46Yeah, it is modern.

0:28:46 > 0:28:49But it speaks to you, and I think it's rather attractive.

0:28:49 > 0:28:51- What about an estimate? - Well, the thing is,

0:28:51 > 0:28:54- I don't think these ever make as much as they should do...- No.

0:28:54 > 0:28:56- ..but I've put 80 to 120. - CHARLIE INHALES SHARPLY

0:28:56 > 0:28:59- Is that too much?- Well, I think that's really generous.

0:28:59 > 0:29:01I mean, they paid 110. They paid all the money.

0:29:01 > 0:29:04- They did pay the money.- But you're up there with the estimate.

0:29:04 > 0:29:07My favourite item, actually, are the labels.

0:29:07 > 0:29:10Well, funny you should say that because they're mine too.

0:29:10 > 0:29:12- They are stunning. - Aren't they wonderful?

0:29:12 > 0:29:14They're gilt metal, they're Swedish,

0:29:14 > 0:29:18but these lovely embossed gates on the front of them.

0:29:18 > 0:29:21I believe the gates are from Club 21, Manhattan.

0:29:21 > 0:29:23So how cool is that, Charlie?

0:29:23 > 0:29:26Well, I mean if that's the case, they could really motor.

0:29:26 > 0:29:28- Well, they could.- What sort of estimate have you put on them?

0:29:28 > 0:29:31I've put 30 to 40, which actually is a bit mean.

0:29:31 > 0:29:33But I think that's a bit of a come and buy me

0:29:33 > 0:29:35because I think they're pretty stylish.

0:29:35 > 0:29:37Well, they'll be quite pleased with that. They paid 30.

0:29:37 > 0:29:39- I think...- They're going to do all right, aren't they?- Yeah.

0:29:39 > 0:29:42- I think they're really nice. - And what about the mask?

0:29:42 > 0:29:44I don't there there's a lot of age to that.

0:29:44 > 0:29:46£30 to £50.

0:29:46 > 0:29:48Very good. £20 paid.

0:29:48 > 0:29:50Where was he buying this? He's very good.

0:29:50 > 0:29:53Now of course, they might need their bonus buy.

0:29:53 > 0:29:54Let's have a look at it.

0:29:55 > 0:29:58- You had a good shop, didn't you? - We had a very good shop.

0:29:58 > 0:30:01- And you spent a reasonable amount of money.- We did.- Yeah. £160.

0:30:01 > 0:30:02- Yeah.- Yeah.

0:30:02 > 0:30:04Leaving that man with 140.

0:30:04 > 0:30:06You know I wanted you to buy this.

0:30:06 > 0:30:08It is!

0:30:08 > 0:30:13It is the Royal Navy catapult container.

0:30:13 > 0:30:15- Lovely.- It was your favourite, wasn't it?- Yeah.

0:30:15 > 0:30:17- It was. You really liked this, didn't you?- She loved it.

0:30:17 > 0:30:19I hated it!

0:30:19 > 0:30:22No home should be without one.

0:30:22 > 0:30:24It doesn't look in the best condition.

0:30:24 > 0:30:26I don't know. It just looks like something you'd find in your loft.

0:30:26 > 0:30:28- Yeah.- It's 1939.

0:30:28 > 0:30:31It's a bit of militaria. It's naval. It's interesting.

0:30:31 > 0:30:35- I had £140.- Hm.

0:30:35 > 0:30:37- It didn't cost £140.- Good. - Thank goodness for that.

0:30:37 > 0:30:39Yeah, that's all right then.

0:30:39 > 0:30:40- How much?- £28.

0:30:40 > 0:30:43- Ohh.- OK.- That's all right. It's not as bad as I thought.

0:30:43 > 0:30:45- That's not too bad. - You get a bit of credit then.

0:30:45 > 0:30:48- We might listen to you on it. - Happy with that?- Yeah.

0:30:48 > 0:30:50Well, that's your views on it.

0:30:50 > 0:30:52Let's see what the auctioneer thinks about it.

0:30:53 > 0:30:57Well, here it is. It's unusual, Catherine.

0:30:57 > 0:30:59Well, you can say that again.

0:30:59 > 0:31:01- Do you even know what it is?- No.

0:31:01 > 0:31:03It's dated 1939.

0:31:03 > 0:31:05- Estimate?- 30 to 50?

0:31:05 > 0:31:07- That was a guess, wasn't it? - That was a punt.

0:31:07 > 0:31:08Pure guess.

0:31:08 > 0:31:11It was a very good guess because Thomas paid £28 for it.

0:31:11 > 0:31:13Oh. Well... Yeah, I think he did well.

0:31:13 > 0:31:15- The man did good.- The man did good.

0:31:15 > 0:31:18- So this team is looking promising, isn't it?- It's looking good.- Yeah.

0:31:18 > 0:31:20Well, that's it for the Red team.

0:31:20 > 0:31:23Now, Rufus and Rory, who were with Natasha,

0:31:23 > 0:31:25have bought these splendid items. What do you think?

0:31:25 > 0:31:28- A bit of a mixed bag.- True.

0:31:28 > 0:31:30- What about the knocker? - What is lovely about this

0:31:30 > 0:31:32is that it's an animal.

0:31:32 > 0:31:35- It's not a lion. You often get the lions, but this is a panther.- Yes.

0:31:35 > 0:31:37- It is.- And I like that.

0:31:37 > 0:31:40- I think that's quite exciting. - Very good. What's it worth?

0:31:40 > 0:31:41£40 to £60.

0:31:41 > 0:31:44- Yeah. £45 paid.- Well, there you go.

0:31:44 > 0:31:46What do you think of this rare work of art?

0:31:46 > 0:31:50- It's very primitive. I think, shall we say, limited market.- Yes.

0:31:50 > 0:31:54But I suppose it's comical. People like a bit of comedy.

0:31:54 > 0:31:55Maybe £20 to £30.

0:31:55 > 0:31:57It's just not got the quality there.

0:31:57 > 0:31:59They paid £40 for it.

0:31:59 > 0:32:01Yeah, I'm not so sure on that. It doesn't do it for me.

0:32:01 > 0:32:03Time will tell. Shall we move swiftly on?

0:32:03 > 0:32:06- The camera. What do you think?- We've had quite a bit of interest in this.

0:32:06 > 0:32:09- Have you?- Yes.- It's visually splendid, isn't it?

0:32:09 > 0:32:12It does look visually splendid. It's a good name - Sanderson -

0:32:12 > 0:32:14and I think we might be surprised on that.

0:32:14 > 0:32:18- What sort of value have you put on it?- 40 to 60.- Hm.

0:32:18 > 0:32:19Paid...

0:32:19 > 0:32:21- 110.- Oh, did they?

0:32:21 > 0:32:25- Right, OK.- It seems to me quite at the steep end there.

0:32:25 > 0:32:28Well, if it doesn't go to the top end of the estimate,

0:32:28 > 0:32:29they might need their bonus buy.

0:32:29 > 0:32:31Let's have a look at it.

0:32:31 > 0:32:34- Well, I bet you thought I was going to buy a brooch.- Absolutely.

0:32:34 > 0:32:37- Yeah, definitely a brooch.- Because we looked at brooches. But I didn't.

0:32:37 > 0:32:40- Oh, thank God.- I bought you something quirky and exciting.

0:32:40 > 0:32:41Oh, beautiful!

0:32:41 > 0:32:44- Your little friend pulling his rickshaw.- Amazing.

0:32:44 > 0:32:47It's a cruet set. Is this something you'd have in your flat?

0:32:47 > 0:32:49I mean, if it looked like that, then great. Yeah, absolutely.

0:32:49 > 0:32:52- Do you like it? It's quite cool. - It's awesome.- It's quite unusual.

0:32:52 > 0:32:54Let me hand it over to you. It's not silver.

0:32:54 > 0:32:57It's white metal, shall we say, silver-plated.

0:32:57 > 0:33:02And it does have a little note on it saying Made In China.

0:33:02 > 0:33:05But it's quite handy because we know, therefore, it's Chinese.

0:33:05 > 0:33:08And it's quite modern and it's quite good fun.

0:33:08 > 0:33:10- What do you think of it? It fits so nicely.- I think it's great.

0:33:10 > 0:33:13- I think it's beautiful. - I think it's got real appeal.

0:33:13 > 0:33:15Not antique antique, but not made yesterday.

0:33:15 > 0:33:18- How much did you pay for it? - How much do you think I paid for it?

0:33:18 > 0:33:1930, 40?

0:33:19 > 0:33:22- 30, 40.- 25?

0:33:23 > 0:33:26£25 is exactly what I paid.

0:33:26 > 0:33:28It was marked up at 35,

0:33:28 > 0:33:30and I reckon it's got to make at least that at auction.

0:33:30 > 0:33:33It must do. It must do.

0:33:33 > 0:33:37Well, all three of you like it. Will Catherine Southon like it?

0:33:38 > 0:33:42Natasha was given £105 to spend...

0:33:42 > 0:33:43and she bought that.

0:33:43 > 0:33:45We've got a cruet set.

0:33:45 > 0:33:48I mean, so many of these have been produced, but this is a Chinese copy

0:33:48 > 0:33:50and it's just really poor quality.

0:33:50 > 0:33:51If you turn it over,

0:33:51 > 0:33:54you can see that somebody's been scratching it to death

0:33:54 > 0:33:57to see if there's actually any silver in it whatsoever.

0:33:57 > 0:33:59- And it isn't.- But it's not silver.

0:33:59 > 0:34:03But I mean, he's got... Just the face just really makes me laugh.

0:34:03 > 0:34:05- It's just very comical. - What about an estimate?

0:34:05 > 0:34:09Well, I think I've actually been very generous and given £30 to £40.

0:34:09 > 0:34:12Wonderful. Natasha paid a miserable £25 for it,

0:34:12 > 0:34:15- so there's every chance for profit there.- It might do, yes.

0:34:15 > 0:34:18- This is going to be quite a battle. - It will be.

0:34:18 > 0:34:20Well, off we go to the saleroom.

0:34:35 > 0:34:37- Definitely right. Big profits. - Big profits.- Are you sure?

0:41:47 > 0:41:50Both teams have made a profit.

0:41:50 > 0:41:53Isn't that exciting?

0:41:53 > 0:41:55You've made £2, Reds.

0:41:57 > 0:42:01By that you can deduct that the Blues have won...
