0:00:03 > 0:00:07Today's Bargain Hunt is coming to you from Ardingly in West Sussex,
0:00:07 > 0:00:10an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
0:00:10 > 0:00:14The village has a population of about 2,000 people.
0:00:14 > 0:00:19But when it hosts the International Antique and Collectors Fair,
0:00:19 > 0:00:23the population booms when both dealers and visitors
0:00:23 > 0:00:25head here from across the globe.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31So our Red and Blue teams are ready to do battle,
0:00:31 > 0:00:34anxious to seek out that perfect find.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36So let's not wait any longer.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Let's go bargain hunting.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Ardingly is the biggest fair in the south of England,
0:01:10 > 0:01:14quite literally with hundreds of stalls to keep our two teams busy.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18Armed with £300, they have one hour to buy three antiques
0:01:18 > 0:01:22which hopefully will return them a profit when they sell on at auction.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25First, let's see what's coming up.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27It's fighting talk from the Reds.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29It depends if you want to win or not.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31We do. That's the whole point. We really do.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36The Blues sniff out a bargain.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38I smelt a deal!
0:01:38 > 0:01:41But who will come out on top in the auction?
0:01:41 > 0:01:42Will it be the Reds?
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Yes!
0:01:44 > 0:01:45Or the Blues?
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Nice work, there we go.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Well, that's all for later,
0:01:50 > 0:01:53but now let's meet our two teams about to do battle.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56For the Reds today we've got mother and daughter Tina and Hannah.
0:01:56 > 0:02:01And for the Blues we've got good mates in Gary and Michael. Hello.
0:02:01 > 0:02:02ALL: Hello.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04So, Hannah, I believe you're journalist.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Yes. Straight out of uni and straight into the industry, which is quite good.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10I do a lot of social media stuff, which is quite fun.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14You get to see the news as it's coming in and see how people are reacting to it.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16It's quite interesting.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Mamma, Tina. You've had a long career in retail, I believe.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24Over 20 years. I now work for a large retail firm.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26I'm the clothing manager there.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30Is that a little bit like a little girl in a toffee shop?
0:02:30 > 0:02:33It is really good because you get to see all the latest fashions coming in
0:02:33 > 0:02:35and the clothing and you get to arrange it
0:02:35 > 0:02:38and dress the mannequins and things like that.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40We do set things at Halloween time.
0:02:40 > 0:02:45I do great big theatrical displays and things like that. I absolutely love it.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47But what do you do to unwind?
0:02:47 > 0:02:48I used to do a lot of dancing.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51When I was younger I used to do a lot of ballroom and Latin
0:02:51 > 0:02:54and we did competitions and that sort of thing.
0:02:54 > 0:02:55I absolutely loved it.
0:02:55 > 0:03:00I'm hoping to get into more dancing when I get a bit more free time and I would like to take up salsa.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04You've got those Latin moves, have you? You've got the rhythms, have you?
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- Absolutely love dancing.- Fantastic. What about you, Hannah?
0:03:07 > 0:03:10What you do when it comes to chilling out?
0:03:10 > 0:03:12I really like taking the dog for a walk.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15We'll go for big, long walks and I will take my camera because I love photography.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17So, ladies, tactics.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20We've got a bit of a plan called the three P's.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22The three P's is our plan.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26It's something that is pretty, practical and perfect.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28So you know, no cracks in that.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30We are looking for something pretty special.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33OK. Now to the Blues.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36I believe you two have been lifelong friends,
0:03:36 > 0:03:39so how did you actually meet?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41We actually met on a taster day for school.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45We were getting ready for big school and we all got invited along
0:03:45 > 0:03:49for the day and I saw what I thought was a pretty girl across the
0:03:49 > 0:03:53playground with her lovely perm, and it turned out to be Gary!
0:03:53 > 0:03:55He thought it made him look like Ryan Giggs.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00From that point, our friendship blossomed, the perm went and here we are today.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- Gary, you work in recruitment? - I do.- Tell me a bit more.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07I'm a recruitment manager for an education division in Kent.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Michael actually works for the same company as well.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Gary, I believe you've had another career.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16Yes. Before I got into recruitment I was in the Royal Navy. Did five years there.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Served on HMS Gloucester for a couple of years. Really enjoyed it.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23- Did you see the world? - Yes. I've seen quite a bit of the world actually.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26So, Michael, what do you get up to when you're not hanging out with Gary here?
0:04:26 > 0:04:28How do you relax?
0:04:28 > 0:04:31I'm a keen footballer and I still play football myself.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33My eldest boy, Harry, is a keen footballer
0:04:33 > 0:04:36so I'm involved with the coaching of his football team as well.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38You also do quite a bit of charity work I'm told.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Yes. My middle son, George, was born with Down's syndrome.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44So we do a lot of work locally to try and raise awareness
0:04:44 > 0:04:48and raise some money for a local charity group that we take part in.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- So that's very close to my heart as well.- Of course it is.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55So you've heard the tactics. Come on, boys, what have you discussed here?
0:04:55 > 0:04:59- We're just going to hope for the best, I think.- Oh, right.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03To be fair, we've both got a quite a keen eye in a bit of a bargain,
0:05:03 > 0:05:10- so hopefully we can...- Transfer... - yeah, some of those skills to today.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13But before you do all that, you've got to find yourself
0:05:13 > 0:05:15with £300 to spend, haven't you?
0:05:15 > 0:05:19- So here's £300 for the Blues. - Thank you very much.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- And £300 for the Reds.- Thank you.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24So this is the bit where you scoot off
0:05:24 > 0:05:26and you go and find your experts.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28See you later.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31So the three P's or hoping for the best?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34It will be interesting to see which one comes up trumps.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36So let's meet our experts.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40Always serving up a treat, it's Charles Hanson for the Reds.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Hoping to be in perfect tune from the Blues, it's Richard Madley.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50Great, so what have we got on our shopping list this afternoon, then?
0:05:50 > 0:05:55I'm thinking pocket watch or some form of military memorabilia.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59I want to find something practical, useful but really good quality.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Something nice and easy on the eye.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Something very beautiful, sculptural.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07Maybe a figurative or something along those lines I think.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- Something a bit quirky. Maybe a perfume bottle.- Really?
0:06:10 > 0:06:13So no time for catching Z's.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17Teams, your 60 minutes start now.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19I'm quite quick. Follow me.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22I think I know where we can start, so come with me.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24And with just seconds gone,
0:06:24 > 0:06:27the Reds have already spotted something they like.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- Quite a nice stool that. Pierced... - Is that quite old?
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Yes, I would say that stool would date to around 1870.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- It's all wooden.- It's rosewood. Or Chinese hardwood.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41These were made for export out of the Eastern world to the West
0:06:41 > 0:06:45and they're popular today because they are well-made
0:06:45 > 0:06:48and at £95 it's priced at... What's it worth?
0:06:48 > 0:06:51On a good day it could touch £100 or maybe a bit more.
0:06:51 > 0:06:52It's quite nice.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56I like all the intricate work on the woodwork, which is lovely.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58I think that's a bit expensive.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00I think so but we're seeing things
0:07:00 > 0:07:03and that is always a mental note and food for thought for later.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Right, come on, team.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08It's a no to the stool but the Blues may have found something
0:07:08 > 0:07:11to propel themselves into the lead.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- That has really taken my eye, that has.- That's a good spot, isn't it?
0:07:14 > 0:07:18- Where is it from?- Do you think we should ask the stallholder?
0:07:18 > 0:07:21It's come from a seaplane, a sea-landing craft.
0:07:21 > 0:07:26Because of the size of the structure I think it's post-war
0:07:26 > 0:07:28and it's got a very nice blonde colour.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Normally they're dark wood. Lovely item.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35It caught our eye, certainly. Indeed. So I've got to ask the question.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37What is the asking price?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39It's been in my living room. My wife loved it.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42But she doesn't love it any more, though?
0:07:42 > 0:07:47She doesn't love it any more. But I've got it for 450. £450.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- It's way out of ours, isn't it? Unfortunately.- Way, way out.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Which is a shame.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Perhaps a sky-high price for the lads,
0:07:54 > 0:07:57but Charles has found something to pitch to the Reds.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- That's nice. Look at that. - What have you found?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- Isn't that nice?- What is it?
0:08:02 > 0:08:06This is some type of old, perhaps fruitwood funnel which you
0:08:06 > 0:08:10may have used to filter whatever liquid into a bottle of some sort.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13But I wonder how early it is? Isn't it wonderful?
0:08:13 > 0:08:16It's very tactile, which is nice.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20Yes, it is tactile and that's the joy of often, I suppose, antiques,
0:08:20 > 0:08:22kind of giving you enjoyment by just holding them
0:08:22 > 0:08:25and just imagining who it belonged to.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- Do you want to try?- I like the inside, that's quite cute.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33- Madam, how much for the little funnel please?- It's £10.- £10.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36I think it's an interesting funnel.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- I think it's 18th-century. - You can see it's got age.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41I'm just wondering if it would make any money.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44It might make £25 or £30 but again you must love it. OK, I like it.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Another one to think about.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49A real piece of history, thank you. We might see you later.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Something for the back burner, maybe?
0:08:51 > 0:08:55So with ten minutes gone, no items bought for our teams,
0:08:55 > 0:08:57but are things about to heat up for the Blues?
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- That is nice.- You like that? - That's American, I assume.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04It looks like American, it's not one of ours.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05Will that be of an interest?
0:09:05 > 0:09:08In America these sort of items are collectable.
0:09:08 > 0:09:13Over here, it would be an acquired look,
0:09:13 > 0:09:17but at the same time I would quite like to know how much it is.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- Yeah, definitely.- Shall we find out?
0:09:20 > 0:09:24- Yes, let's ask. Who's in charge? - Hello, about your fireman's helmet.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27- Fireman's helmet.- American?- Yes.
0:09:27 > 0:09:33Probably about 1950s, I would say, by its style.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37- Can I just ask about the price? - We've got £180 on that one.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40That's eating into the budget quite a lot for one item.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43And it is our first item, as well, so it's difficult.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Have a think about it. We're here for the afternoon.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- Thank you for showing it to us. - Cheers.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Another item rejected by the Blues,
0:09:51 > 0:09:55but could mum Tina put the Reds in the lead with this find?
0:09:55 > 0:09:58I love the wooden chest.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Look at that. That is lovely.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04- That is really nice actually. - Really nice.- Gosh, what a nice size.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- Normally they're a bit bigger. - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Look at this studded decoration there.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- Is that someone's initials?- Exactly.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15What I like is you've got these pine struts over the dome lid with
0:10:15 > 0:10:22the iron latches here. And I'm just really keen to open it up.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24- Yes.- So am I.- Go on. Have a look inside.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- It's got the tray.- Stunning.- Oh, wow.- That is beautiful.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Yeah, it is nice.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- Oh. Wow.- It's really deep actually. - It's lovely. It is deep.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36It is, isn't it?
0:10:36 > 0:10:39And I'm quite convinced, actually, Hannah,
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- that's the original interior as well.- Yeah, it looks it.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46It's a bit shabby but that's almost part of its charm, isn't it?
0:10:46 > 0:10:50- Yeah. Shabby Chic.- Shabby Chic. It's gorgeous.- Brilliant.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52I would date it to around 1880.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56Like a travelling trunk, which it is, with a tier inside.
0:10:57 > 0:11:02The carrying handles appear to be original too.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04- Shall we find out how much this is? - The price? Yes.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08- What's the final price between friends?- £170.
0:11:09 > 0:11:14- That's too much. What's your very best price on that?- 150.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Could you not take a bit less? Say 120?
0:11:20 > 0:11:24- ERIC: Go on, see what you can do, Charles.- Yeah, and between friends?
0:11:24 > 0:11:26- 150.- Right.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- What would you put that up at auction?- Exactly...
0:11:30 > 0:11:34I would guide it, honestly, £100-200.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37I'm almost sitting in the middle at 150, saying it could lose 50,
0:11:37 > 0:11:41it could make 50. Do you agree? It's up to you.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44- I really want to get it.- I think, yeah, I think we should get it.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- I really want to get it. - We're going to take it.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- You can have it for 150. Agreed. - Yes, please.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52- Shake his hand. Thanks a lot, sir, we'll take it.- Thank you.
0:11:52 > 0:11:57ERIC: So, 16 minutes gone and it's the first item to the Reds.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59But the lads have found something just mint.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03- I think you've got more of an eye for that sort of stuff with your pub at the end of your garden.- Yeah.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06I've got a fruit machine, yeah, but...
0:12:06 > 0:12:08You've got a fruit machine and a pub at the end of your garden?
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- Fruit machine in the pub. Got to do it properly, haven't you?- Excellent.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15- That's the sort of stuff I would imagine being in your pub. - It is retro.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18It's a nice retro item but I'm concerned about the size of it.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Let's go and have a look. The Rotamint.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24It's German, so you put your mark in, I'd imagine, at the top.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28- The wheels spin round and... - Like an old fruit machine.- Yeah.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31You've got the combinations down the side that you would win from.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35- I love that.- Yeah.- The blue looks like the original and...
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- Flaked off, has it? - Paint over the top of it.- Yeah.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Yeah. It looks as if it sort of dates from the '60s.
0:12:41 > 0:12:47- It's got a 1960s look about it, so if it's got damp and some of the paint's flaked off...- Yeah.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50I mean, it's got a ticket price of £200,
0:12:50 > 0:12:53which obviously is a lot of money - within our budget.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57- But should we just enquire? - Hello, how're you doing? - Yeah, very good indeed.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01We're interested your wall-mounted game priced at £200.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Is there much movement in that?
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Yeah, the best price we can do on that would be about 150.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Knock 25% off.
0:13:08 > 0:13:13This is our first item, so would you take 125?
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- Erm, yeah, I will. It's late in the day.- I'm happy with 125.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20- Do you think 125?- Yeah, it's a good decorative item.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- It's going to stand out. It'll be the only one.- It's a statement.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27It certainly is! It'll be the only one in the auction room.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30I think we'll be pushing it at auction but why not?
0:13:30 > 0:13:33- Let's go for it, shall we?- Shall we go for it? Go for it.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36- 125.- Go on. Oh! He's straight in there!
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- He went straight in there. - I went straight in! I smelt a deal!
0:13:39 > 0:13:43- Great, excellent. 125 it is. - Thank you.- Great. Here we go.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47ERIC: Well done, Blues. 19 minutes gone and the score is 1-1.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51But can Charles kick a conversion with this item?
0:13:51 > 0:13:53That's quite cute, isn't it?
0:13:53 > 0:13:56- Yes.- He's a rugby guy.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59He will have held a rugby ball and obviously it's been lost over
0:13:59 > 0:14:02the years and they've put that little football in glass,
0:14:02 > 0:14:06which is quite a nice Art Deco group. Really caught my eye.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10See, I like that but I like the ones with the ladies with the
0:14:10 > 0:14:13silhouette, which I think would be more popular.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17- Yeah, the men aren't so good, are they? Looking?- No. Sorry.- Come on.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Thanks a lot. I know when I'm not wanted.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23We still love you, Charles!
0:14:23 > 0:14:25And Gary has finally found something from his wish list.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- Here we are, Grovesey. This is you.- There we go.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32- The military you were looking for. - Some shells there.- Shell cases.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- Brass shells there.- This phone as well.- Yeah, I like that.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- Really like that.- To have the original box is a nice touch.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Is this everything intact? There's nothing missing?
0:14:40 > 0:14:44- No, nothing missing at all.- Is there any markings or anything on it?
0:14:44 > 0:14:46- From where it's from? - Well, it's English.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49- That's all I can tell you about it. - Second World War?
0:14:49 > 0:14:53- I would think it is, yes. - But could it hang in your bar at the end of your garden?
0:14:53 > 0:14:56No, because then my wife would be able to contact me and tell me
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- I've had too much.- That's true. - No phones allowed.
0:14:59 > 0:15:04- You don't know the rules.- We can see a ticket price of £50 on it.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- Yeah.- Could we ask you what the friendliest price could be?
0:15:09 > 0:15:11I would like 40 for it, if I could get it.
0:15:11 > 0:15:16- £40.- As I am ex-military myself, would you take 35?
0:15:16 > 0:15:18- I'm a very patriotic man and I say yes.- Thank you very much.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22- Shall we do that?- I'm happy with 35 if you're happy with 35.- Excellent.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- Shall we shake on it?- Thank you very much.- Thank you.- Much appreciated.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Excellent. You've got a deal. Thank you very much indeed.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30At 2-1 to the Blues, there's still more shopping to do.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32But for me, it's time for tea.
0:15:39 > 0:15:44Now, this is the first big buy of my life way back in 1971.
0:15:44 > 0:15:49I bought this coffee cup and saucer for £14.10s.
0:15:49 > 0:15:54My take-home pay for a week, after tax, was £12.10s.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57When I told my grandad, he wanted to get me certified.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00So, why on earth would I want to pay that sort of money?
0:16:00 > 0:16:04Well, the simple truth is that this is 18th-century porcelain.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08It had been made at a factory called Caughley, which is in Shropshire.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11And it was made in around about 1785.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15But the one thing that I noticed was that it was in absolutely mint condition.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18All the gilding is there. It's not rubbed.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21And that is so important when it comes to collecting.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25The pattern itself is called the Dresden flower pattern.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Influences in the 18th century were coming from France
0:16:28 > 0:16:32but they were also coming initially out of Germany.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36Way back in the 1970s, people used to collect something called trios.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39So you needed a matching tea bowl.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43And I've been looking for a tea bowl for my two pieces for the best part
0:16:43 > 0:16:47of 40 years and then not so very long ago
0:16:47 > 0:16:52I was at Newick and hey presto! I find the matching tea bowl.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Paid £10 for it.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57I know what you're thinking - what's it worth now?
0:16:57 > 0:17:02Well, I don't mind telling you I think I'd be lucky to get more than £100 for the entire trio.
0:17:02 > 0:17:07Not much of a return, you might say, for what was, way back then, well over a week's wages.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10But am I bothered? No, I'm not bothered at all.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14I just get a buzz from touching it and feeling it.
0:17:14 > 0:17:20So be warned - do not think when you're buying antiques that they're always a good investment.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24No, you've heard it before - buy 'em because you love 'em.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Back to the shopping.
0:17:35 > 0:17:40After almost 25 minutes, the Blues have two items and the Reds have one.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42ERIC: What have the Reds spotted now?
0:17:42 > 0:17:45DEALER: We've got some 18th-century silver salts.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Excellent maker, Robert Hennell. London maker.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53- Very famous in the Georgian period. - What could they be, best price?
0:17:53 > 0:17:57- 120 for the pair.- Aren't they nice? - They are.- That one to you.
0:17:57 > 0:18:02- Just have a handle. These would date to around... What are they?- 1772.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05- That's quite early, isn't it? - It is.- Early George III.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09He was the mad King George.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13They are highly pierced in that neoclassical style of oval outline.
0:18:13 > 0:18:19You've also... What's nice, you've also got a cartouche with initial on as well.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- Talk to me.- I like them.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24I just think they're a little bit expensive.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26We've got hardly any money left.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28We've still got two more items to get.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31If I said to you, sir, would you do them for £100?
0:18:31 > 0:18:33I'm afraid I couldn't. No.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35115 would have to be the best price on those.
0:18:35 > 0:18:40- You wouldn't say, "You're in the den at Number Ten" and do 110?- OK.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42How much would you put on if these came up at auction?
0:18:42 > 0:18:46I would put them in at £100-150. Up to you, ladies.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- Depends if you want to win or not. - We do!
0:18:49 > 0:18:52That's the point, we really do!
0:18:52 > 0:18:56- They think it's all over. Is it? - It nearly is.- Is it?- Yeah.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- Mum look at daughter. - We've got to do it.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02- We will.- Daughter, mum. Look at me. It is now.- Definitely. It is.- Yeah.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06- Thanks a lot. Give him a handshake. - Thank you.- ERIC: Well done, Reds.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10That's two items down after 30 minutes.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14I'm impressed. Obviously, Mum's got this great desire to win and be
0:19:14 > 0:19:17competitive and I think daughter's got her mum's ability to
0:19:17 > 0:19:20really see quality, so it's going well. I'm very impressed.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22They're making a good pair.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26Meanwhile, the Blues, also on the hunt for item number three,
0:19:26 > 0:19:29have found two tempting tantalus.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33- Two tantaluses, if that's the plural.- Tantali, maybe.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38I suggest that we ask the prices of both. Excuse me, sir.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42Could we enquire about the price of the two division tantalus
0:19:42 > 0:19:45and the three division tantalus?
0:19:45 > 0:19:50The three division tantalus is £275 and it's mint,
0:19:50 > 0:19:54in very good condition. There's your three bottles.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56- It's way beyond our budget. - We haven't got the money for that.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00- We've spent it already.- So we are spent up for the three division.
0:20:00 > 0:20:07- Now, the price on the two division? - 125. It needs a lock.- Ah.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11This part needs to be looked at.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15- Right.- But it's OK. They're Victorian. They're both Victorian. - Yes.
0:20:15 > 0:20:20- We said, "No damage..."- You're absolutely right.- "..whatsoever."
0:20:20 > 0:20:23We should avoid things that are damaged because to go to auction
0:20:23 > 0:20:26held together by an elastic band,
0:20:26 > 0:20:28that is not the best way to start, is it?
0:20:28 > 0:20:32- It doesn't look appealing to us, let alone somebody who wants to bid on it.- Fair enough.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36Well, the Blues know their own minds and with 15 minutes to go,
0:20:36 > 0:20:40the Reds are returning to the stall where they made their last buy.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42- What's caught their eye now? - With the little dog.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46- May we browse that, sir? - You certainly can.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49I think when it comes to dogs and collectors of small silver,
0:20:49 > 0:20:53that takes my fancy. Just, Hannah, why did you like that?
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- I mean, we've got a dog at home. - Called...?
0:20:56 > 0:21:00His name is Charlie and I love him. It's just really cute.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03The dog's so little and I like the little cane there.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06What I like is if you look really closely,
0:21:06 > 0:21:10the quality of almost the dog's fur, you can see it picked out in detail.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14- Is it hallmarked, importantly? - I don't know.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18- It's heavy.- Yeah.- It's quite heavy. And I like that.
0:21:18 > 0:21:23It's hallmarked 925, so we know it's sterling silver.
0:21:23 > 0:21:28But on the back you've got a maker's mark or a Dutch mark.
0:21:28 > 0:21:33So I would say that's Dutch. Probably in age, could be 1930s.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38Could be that age. Early 20th century. And it is solid silver.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42That's quite attractive because it's got the canine feel and to you
0:21:42 > 0:21:44it reminds you of Charlie.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46- I like it.- It's lovely.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48- How much is it?- 45.- 45.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53You know what, everyone's clearing away, the day is nearing an end.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57I just wonder if the dealer could do it for a very special price.
0:21:57 > 0:22:02- Go on, have a go.- How much is your best on the little dog?
0:22:02 > 0:22:08- Cos it's end of day, I'll do it for 35.- 35.- Could you do it for 30?
0:22:08 > 0:22:12- Yeah.- OK.- Yes! Yes! I will take it.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Shake his hand. Thanks a lot, sir.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18ERIC: A great mother-and-daughter team. Well done, Reds.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20All three items in the bag.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24Still at the tantalus stall, you only have moments to go, Blues.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26You've got three minutes left.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Is the sandalwood card case viable at £40?
0:22:31 > 0:22:33- 45.- 45.- 45.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- People do collect visiting-card cases.- I do like that.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40It has got some damage to it but I think if this gentleman is prepared
0:22:40 > 0:22:47to let us have it at £40 then I think we are limiting our liability.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51- Yeah, that's nice.- We're in the last couple of minutes so if we could do...
0:22:51 > 0:22:56- Would we be able to do that at 40? - Sure.- Done! £40. It's a deal. Deal?
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- I'm happy.- Do you want to do a little package with that?
0:22:59 > 0:23:02It's a sandalwood information book on Jerusalem.
0:23:02 > 0:23:10- Pictures, pressed flowers.- Could you put the two in for £50?- I can do 55.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14- For 55, we'd do it.- We can put the two... Go on, 55.- Done.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19Crikey! That was close to the wire. Teams, your time's up.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23We made it. We made it with three seconds to spare.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Let's see what the Red team bought.
0:23:26 > 0:23:31They loved this 19th-century travel trunk and paid £150.
0:23:32 > 0:23:37These Georgian silver salts set them back £110.
0:23:38 > 0:23:43And this silver canine with lady cost just £30.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Now, I'm looking at you two ladies
0:23:46 > 0:23:51and I'm thinking practical, perfect and pretty, yes?
0:23:51 > 0:23:56- That was your mantra today, wasn't it? Did we stick to it?- Kind of?
0:23:56 > 0:23:58I think mainly we did, yeah.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02- So, Hannah, what was your favourite object today?- I dunno.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06- Maybe the salt cellars. They were very pretty. - And what about yourself, Tina?
0:24:06 > 0:24:10My favourite is the first one, the chest. That was just beautiful.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12What do you think's going to make the biggest profit?
0:24:12 > 0:24:14- Probably the little silver figure. - Definitely.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17- The little Dutch silver figure. - The little Dutch silver figure.
0:24:17 > 0:24:23So, the other thing I remember about the three P's, after that was,
0:24:23 > 0:24:27"We're not going to spend very much money." Yeah?
0:24:27 > 0:24:31You spent, out of your £300, £290. Yes?
0:24:31 > 0:24:35So let's hope it was money well spent but in the meantime,
0:24:35 > 0:24:40- who's got a tenner?- I have.- OK. Thank you very much indeed.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Like all money, it doesn't stay in my hand for very much time.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- I'm going to present it there to Mr Hanson.- Thank you.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48- Thank you, Eric.- You're a man that likes a challenge, aren't you?
0:24:48 > 0:24:50I think you've just got to believe.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Believe in history, dig deep and where there's trash there's
0:24:53 > 0:24:56also treasure and for £10 I'll find it ,I'm sure.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58You will find it, yes.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02So let's remind ourselves what the Blue team bought today.
0:25:02 > 0:25:07This German games machine cost the lads £125.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13And Gary's military telephone set them back £35.
0:25:15 > 0:25:20Finally, this engraved card case and souvenir album cost £55.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25Now, I'm not sure if you had two seconds left or three seconds left
0:25:25 > 0:25:29but either way, you were pushing your luck today.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33- We was always in control.- That's the main thing.- I almost believe you.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37I really do. So come on then, Michael, your favourite object?
0:25:37 > 0:25:40The sort of fruit machine-style gambling machine.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43- That would be my favourite, definitely.- Right.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46- What about yourself then, Gary? - Mine was the field telephone.
0:25:46 > 0:25:51Obviously, I'd come here with an idea of something military and that was a real striking piece.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55So, when it comes to the one item you bought today
0:25:55 > 0:25:58that you think is going to give you the biggest profit...?
0:25:58 > 0:26:01I hate to say it but it'll probably be Gary's choice with the
0:26:01 > 0:26:04- telephone, to be honest with you. - Think so?- I couldn't agree more.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07I'm much better than him at everything.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11Having said all that, you spent a reasonable amount of money. £215.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13- That's right.- Correct.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17Which means that one of you two has got £85 to give to me,
0:26:17 > 0:26:20which I in turn will give to Mr Madley.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23You'll know what to do with that, won't you?
0:26:23 > 0:26:28Some key words were used in today's shop and one of them was
0:26:28 > 0:26:32"sculptural" so I've taken that in mind and I'm going to go out
0:26:32 > 0:26:36- and find you something that might just tick that box.- Brilliant.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40- Right. On your way. - Good luck.- Let's go.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44Meanwhile, we're now going to see how things pan out at the auction.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57Well, staying in Sussex, we've travelled cross-country and
0:26:57 > 0:27:00arrived at Bellmans auction house, where I'm met by Jonathan Pratt.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03- Hello.- Hello, Eric.- Let's start with our Red team, shall we?
0:27:03 > 0:27:07First purchase was a wood and ironbound trunk.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10You know, it looks the part. Very sort of 19th-century.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14The downside, I have to say, is because it's got a domed top you can't really use it.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17You've got to put stuff in it so that it goes in the corner.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Flat tops, you can actually still use them
0:27:19 > 0:27:21like a coffee table or something like that.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24It's got the right style but they just don't perform as well
0:27:24 > 0:27:28as the brass-bound, you know, proper rectangular ones.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32- So I'm being a bit mean, I think, on the estimate for that.- How mean have you been?
0:27:32 > 0:27:35- £30-50.- They paid £150 for it. - (Which is a lot of money.)
0:27:35 > 0:27:39Shall we skate over that one and move very swiftly to number two?
0:27:39 > 0:27:43A pair of George III silver table salts. Robert Hennell.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- Good maker.- Good maker.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Nice sort of pierced border with a little cartouche on the front
0:27:49 > 0:27:52and ball and claw feet. Glass liners.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56Exactly as you might expect. My feeling is they're worth between £100-150.
0:27:56 > 0:28:02- They got them for what I thought was a relatively bargain £110. - Yeah, I think that's good.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Staying with a silver theme brings us to item number three,
0:28:05 > 0:28:10which is a small silver little group - of a lady feeding a dog.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12It's a nice little decorative object, isn't it?
0:28:12 > 0:28:16I suppose there are plenty of people who are going to put it in a cabinet or whatever it might be.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20It's very typically sort of Dutch. That sort of area, isn't it?
0:28:20 > 0:28:22They made lots of small little bits of silver and we were
0:28:22 > 0:28:26importing them for over 100 years. I quite like it.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30- To quote how much on it?- £30-40. - OK. They paid £30 for it.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34- Good.- Well, let's take a look at the Red team's bonus buy.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40So, Hannah and Tina, I only had £10 to give to Mr Hanson here.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42So, Charles, reveal the bonus buy.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45When you say £10, you can also say 1,000 pence,
0:28:45 > 0:28:48it sounds far better. So...
0:28:50 > 0:28:53- BOTH: Oh. - This is a suite of jewellery.
0:28:53 > 0:28:58Abalone shell. Earrings and a brooch here with an almost abstract design.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00Asymmetric form.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03Almost Scandinavian delivered but the mark says Schott,
0:29:03 > 0:29:06which basically is a German mark.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08And I think they've got great style.
0:29:08 > 0:29:12- I like the colour but I can't see anyone wearing them.- Really?
0:29:12 > 0:29:14- Are they clip-on?- Yeah. Clip-ons.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18When it comes to collectibles, they've got style.
0:29:18 > 0:29:23- What do you think?- I mean, for a tenner, I mean, that was quite good value. But...
0:29:23 > 0:29:27I can see these, in a good retail market, being about £75.
0:29:27 > 0:29:32To me at auction, they should be worth between 30 and 50.
0:29:32 > 0:29:36- But they cost me only £10. - Now, ladies, let me... Right...
0:29:36 > 0:29:39You don't have to make your minds up right now, but meanwhile let's go
0:29:39 > 0:29:44and find out what our auctioneer thinks about the brooch and matching earrings.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50Well, Charles has gone out there and he has purchased a brooch
0:29:50 > 0:29:54with matching earrings. Apparently we're talking German.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Abalone shell. Style-wise, great.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00It's almost like the Star Trek sort of thing, isn't it?
0:30:00 > 0:30:04- It has that sort of, you know, on the lapel.- True.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07And that's where there's innovation in the '60s and '70s.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11It's all very much to do with that sort of far-out sort of stuff, wasn't it?
0:30:11 > 0:30:14It's not a lot of money but people do love their costume jewellery.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16We're talking £10 or £15.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20That tallies well with Charles because he went out and he spent £10.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22I think there could be some room in that.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26Let's hope that the market rises to such a degree
0:30:26 > 0:30:28they can at least double their money.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31Now let's have a look at what the Blues have come up with.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34Our first item is the Rotamint.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37The first question I have - does it work?
0:30:37 > 0:30:39I'd be very surprised if that can work.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43Looking at the insides, it's a real electrician's project.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47This is German, I think mid-last-century slot machine.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51Drop in the money and the wheels spin and it determines down here what you're going to win.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54But at some point, for whatever reason it may be,
0:30:54 > 0:30:58someone has stuck this red adhesive tape all over it.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02It's left it with this really sticky residue on and it needs cleaning up.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06It's the working ones that will sell the best, so for me it's £30-50.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09- They paid £125 for it. - Do you know what,
0:31:09 > 0:31:12they can sell for that but that's ones that actually still work.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15So let's have a look at item number two.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18This is a military field telephone.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20I just think it's remarkable, looking at it,
0:31:20 > 0:31:24how technology has come on in the last 80 years or so.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27I mean, this would have been used between the wars.
0:31:27 > 0:31:33This one's circa 1936. It's a type F, mark 2 military telephone.
0:31:33 > 0:31:37It's by the Siemens company, who are obviously still making phones to this day.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Nice piece of history. Ornamental.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42I think there are people who collect this sort of thing. I've gone along with £20-40.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46Well, they paid £35 so they're in with a sniff on that one,
0:31:46 > 0:31:50aren't they? Item number three, it's a double act in actual fact.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54There is an Indian sort of card case, elaborately carved,
0:31:54 > 0:31:57and then a souvenir from Jerusalem.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00We do see a lot of this sort of thing in the business, don't we?
0:32:00 > 0:32:03Yeah. I mean, it's in olivewood as you might expect.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05The dried flowers inside, some of them are missing.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08It's not complete and there are one or two condition issues.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10And that's been partnered up with this other box,
0:32:10 > 0:32:14this card case which, like you say, is Indian, sort of carved sandalwood.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18It's an easy wood to carve. Nicely done.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21He is also suffering a little from condition issues
0:32:21 > 0:32:27so my feeling is it's a bit weak as a lot and so I'm saying £10-20.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29They paid 55 for it.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32A certain amount of prayer is going to be needed so let's have
0:32:32 > 0:32:35a look at the Blues' bonus buy.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41Figurative and sculptural were two terms that kept coming up
0:32:41 > 0:32:44so I went out and bought something which encapsulates both.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47- LAUGHS - I've got a load of them!
0:32:47 > 0:32:50And reminds me of how we finished with seconds to spare in our
0:32:50 > 0:32:55- buying that afternoon.- What is it? - I'm lost for words.- What is it?
0:32:55 > 0:33:01This is an Art Deco chrome figure of an athlete. Could be either of you.
0:33:01 > 0:33:07Dated 1923 and awarded for the 100-yards dash in 1923.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Let's have a feel.
0:33:12 > 0:33:16- It's old.- It is old.- It's heavy. How much did you pay for it?
0:33:16 > 0:33:21There you go, how much did I pay? I paid £18 for the figure.
0:33:21 > 0:33:26Is there a market for someone else's success?
0:33:26 > 0:33:30I think there's a modest profit left in that.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32I bought it with profit in mind.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36It was priced at £30, we've got it down to £18 and I'm hopeful
0:33:36 > 0:33:40we could perhaps go on to make £6-8 profit.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44Listen, folks, you don't have to make your minds up at this very moment in time.
0:33:44 > 0:33:49Meanwhile, let's go and find out what our auctioneer thinks about our potential winner?
0:33:52 > 0:33:56- So, this is what Richard came up with.- Ah-ha! Look at that.
0:33:56 > 0:34:01Try and work out what, from the pose, he's doing - but it says it on the front.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03And it's a running trophy. 100-yards handicap.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06So he's breasting the tape, is that right?
0:34:06 > 0:34:09He's just coming to the finish line, yeah, exactly like that.
0:34:09 > 0:34:10Yeah, you know, it's 1920s.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13We can see it's been coveted, "Oh, look what I won."
0:34:13 > 0:34:14And it's been rubbed for so many years,
0:34:14 > 0:34:16all this ebonising has worn away on those bits.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19There's a little bit of damage on this arm up here, sadly.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21However, there it is, you know.
0:34:21 > 0:34:22It's not...
0:34:22 > 0:34:27It's not going to fly away, but certainly, at around £25, £35,
0:34:27 > 0:34:29I would have thought, it's, you know, it should stand to profit.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33- Oh, very good. Cos Richard paid £18 for it.- Excellent.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35- So you're the auctioneer today? - I am indeed. Looking forward to it.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37And so is the rest of the nation.
0:34:39 > 0:34:4145. 50.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43Tenner, I'll take.
0:34:43 > 0:34:44£100, there.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48State of excitement. Are we up for this, are we?
0:34:48 > 0:34:51- Yeah.- Yeah, we've been waiting for this.- Excellent.
0:34:51 > 0:34:52And you been to auctions before?
0:34:52 > 0:34:54- Never.- Never?!- First time.- Yeah.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56Oh! Well, there you go.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58What a way to start, with this man on the right there.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01- Just soak it up. Just feel the atmosphere.- There you go, exactly.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04So the first lot that's coming up is your ironbound trunk.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07OK, now you paid £150 for this, yes?
0:35:07 > 0:35:10- Good luck, guys.- OK, here we go. - Hold tight.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Lot 306, a wooden ironbound canvas trunk,

0:35:16 > 0:35:18Starting on the book with commission,
0:35:18 > 0:35:21- 35 to start.- Oh, really?
0:35:21 > 0:35:2335 to start. Let's go higher than this, though.
0:35:23 > 0:35:24£35, who's got 40?
0:35:24 > 0:35:26- It's got to move a lot. - £35, who's got 40?
0:35:26 > 0:35:29- With me at £35?- Oh, no, the room's dead.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Surely we'll have 40, come on, where's 40?
0:35:31 > 0:35:33- Loads of things you can put in this! - I don't believe it.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35- £35. No other bidding?- Surely not.
0:35:35 > 0:35:40- At £35, and selling, £35.- Oh, no!
0:35:40 > 0:35:42- 35 it is.- Oh, no!
0:35:42 > 0:35:45£35. Yes.

0:36:08 > 0:36:09Start me at £100.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Surely worth £100. 60, then?
0:36:11 > 0:36:14- 60, you've got to love £60.- No! - I don't believe it.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16£60? 60 at the front.

0:36:33 > 0:36:34Any more at £80?
0:36:34 > 0:36:38Selling them at the front, then, at £80, all done at £80.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40All done at 80.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42- 80, it is.- Oh!
0:36:42 > 0:36:43So, £80 sold.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47-30, I'm afraid, on that one.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50Which has now taken us to a collective -145.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Now, the next lot that we've got coming up is

0:37:16 > 0:37:17No!
0:37:17 > 0:37:19- Oh, no!- Thank you anyway. 25!
0:37:19 > 0:37:22We're so far from the golden gavel, aren't we?
0:37:22 > 0:37:24We couldn't be further if we tried!
0:37:24 > 0:37:27So that's -5. Collectively, we're now at -150.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30- So I think we need to talk bonus buy, don't we?- We do.

0:38:06 > 0:38:10£10 profit means that we've reduced the deficit
0:38:10 > 0:38:13- to £140.- Yes.- OK.
0:38:13 > 0:38:17- So, ladies. No talking to the Blues. - Yes, OK.- Yes, all right.
0:38:25 > 0:38:26How are you feeling, Blues?
0:38:26 > 0:38:28- Yeah, good.- Terrible.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30- Well, you've got everything to play for, yes?- I hope so.

0:38:34 > 0:38:35for which you paid £125.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37Here it comes.

0:39:08 > 0:39:11Any more? Fair warning, selling at £40.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13- Thank you, £40.- That's painful.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15- So...- That is worth far more than £40.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17I'll take full responsibility for that as well.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20-£85 to start with.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23But our next lot is the military field telephone.

0:41:20 > 0:41:23- Richard?- Oh, no, no, no.- -8.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25It gives us a -£93.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27But it could have been worse.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30- I'm lost for words. - It could have been -100.
0:41:30 > 0:41:31Could have been, yeah.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34You don't know yet whether that could be a winning score.
0:41:34 > 0:41:35Oh, yeah.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39- But I have to say to you, now, not a word to the Reds, OK?- Yeah.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41Not a problem. Trust me. Don't want to say anything to anyone.
0:41:48 > 0:41:52Well, well done, teams. It's all about taking part, is it not?
0:41:52 > 0:41:54- It is, yes.- I know. And I know we never, ever lose.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56We only have a runner-up.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59But when it came to the winning score today,
0:41:59 > 0:42:02I've got to tell you that you were both in the minus.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05But some are more minus than others.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08So turning my attention to the runners-up,
0:42:08 > 0:42:10- I'm going to go in this direction. - Oh!
0:42:10 > 0:42:12THEY LAUGH
0:42:12 > 0:42:15I am going to go in this direction. Ladies, I did feel for you.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18It all went wrong from the word go, didn't it?
0:42:18 > 0:42:20I mean, there you are with your wooden trunk,
0:42:20 > 0:42:21it was a hefty loss, wasn't it?
0:42:21 > 0:42:24And you never really recovered from that. But full marks.
0:42:24 > 0:42:28- You did manage -£140 at the end of the day.- Yes. That's a good one.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31- But you have had fun?- Yes.- Oh, I loved it.- Excellent. All right.
0:42:31 > 0:42:36- Well, turning my attention to the triumphant Blues...- Unbelievable.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39Yes, it was. But you also got off to a grim start, didn't you?
0:42:39 > 0:42:42- What with...- Yeah! We don't want to dwell on that, though.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45..with your Rotamint. But either way, you pushed through.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49- You ended up with a -£93.- We're happy with that.
0:42:49 > 0:42:50So full credit there.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53Full credit, also, to your good self, there, Richard.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55I'm not sure they'd agree with that bit, but...
0:42:55 > 0:42:58But you were there for moral support.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00But either way, congratulations. Meanwhile,
