0:00:03 > 0:00:05Well, we're just outside Newbury,
0:00:05 > 0:00:07on the edge of the North Wessex Downs.
0:00:07 > 0:00:11And it's officially an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
0:00:11 > 0:00:16But what I'm interested in is over there at the Newbury Showground.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20So what are we waiting for? Let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:00:43 > 0:00:46There are hundreds of stalls here at the Newbury Showground
0:00:46 > 0:00:49and remember that our teams have got ?300
0:00:49 > 0:00:54and just one hour in which to buy three juicy objects.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55So let's see what lies ahead.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Coming up on today's show, the Reds test out their knowledge.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05I think that that looks about 1943.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Congratulations. Completely wrong.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12While the Blues know where the power lies.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16I'm his mum. Mum's in charge here, Paul. I'm not arguing with Mum.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19And over at the auction there are plenty of surprises.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Seven once, seven twice... Oh!
0:01:22 > 0:01:23It's a profit!
0:01:23 > 0:01:27You win some, you lose some, don't you? Once, twice...
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Well, that's all for later. Now let's meet the teams.
0:01:31 > 0:01:36And today for the Red team we have an engaged couple, Adrian and Jo.
0:01:36 > 0:01:41And for the Blue team we have Mum and son, and that's Joy and Paul.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Hello, everyone. ALL: Hello!
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Looking forward to it? Absolutely. Yes. So am I.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Now, you two. When are you going to get married? Six months' time.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54How exciting. Now, Jo, you work in the pharmaceutical industry
0:01:54 > 0:01:57but in your spare time you do something else, don't you?
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Are you a bit of an actress on the quiet?
0:01:59 > 0:02:03Our first year together, Adi bought me as a birthday present
0:02:03 > 0:02:06a murder mystery weekend and we went up to retrieve this gift...
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Lovely, what a present! Yes!
0:02:08 > 0:02:09..and we loved it so much that since then
0:02:09 > 0:02:12we've actually been the actors in the weekends.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Oh, wonderful. Great fun, yes. How very exciting.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17And you've also had some pretty famous actors and actresses
0:02:17 > 0:02:20in your living room. In my living room! How did that happen?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22They filmed the first Harry Potter film in our road
0:02:22 > 0:02:23where we used to live.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26What? So all the cast used our lounge as the green room.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28So I had Fiona Shaw, Harry Potter himself,
0:02:28 > 0:02:30everybody in the lounge.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32What an extraordinary experience.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Now, Adrian, you're a prison governor, aren't you?
0:02:34 > 0:02:35But not for much longer.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38No, I finish this year. How long have you been doing it? 31 years.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42I mean, I was in the army before so I joined the prison service
0:02:42 > 0:02:45and if I had my time again, I'd do it all again. Would you? Yeah.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48That's fantastic. Now, you're about to move, aren't you, you two?
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Yeah, we're going to move to south-west France.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54How's your French? Coming on. Coming on?!
0:02:54 > 0:02:58Coming on. Are you having lessons? Three times a week.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Three times a week? Excellent. I think we'd better move on.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05No more questions there. So have you got some tactics, team?
0:03:05 > 0:03:07I think we're looking at buying quirky things
0:03:07 > 0:03:10and if we like them we're hoping other people will like them too.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Are you competitive?
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Extremely. Against each other as well. Oh, yeah.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15So I don't know how that will work.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18I normally win but... Do you? Not against me!
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Well, we'll find that out later. Now for the Blues.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24We've got Joy and Paul, Mum and son.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Now, you're national planning manager, Joy, for the Royal Mail.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Correct, yeah. That sounds rather a responsible task. It is huge.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Anything that's not business as usual, you know,
0:03:33 > 0:03:35like posting a letter and collecting it
0:03:35 > 0:03:37is what I plan with another two ladies.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38It's only ladies in the team.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40I mean, Christmas must be a nightmare, mustn't it?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Christmas is not a nightmare because every single parcel
0:03:43 > 0:03:45you pick up is a smile. You're delivering a smile.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Oh, God. I love it. As written by the PR department.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54Now I can't finish with you without mentioning the hair.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55It is sensational, I have to say.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59Now, Paul. You are area manager for a firm of estate agents, I think.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Yes, that's right. How's the market at the moment? Incredible.
0:04:02 > 0:04:03Really, really good.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Always incredible when you speak to an estate agent.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07The market is always incredible.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11But you actually prefer homes on wheels, don't you?
0:04:11 > 0:04:15Yes, I've got an obsession for camper vans. Have you?
0:04:15 > 0:04:19I've owned three in the past and I own one now. A 1972 camper van.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23And you go on holiday in it? Yes. We will start to.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26It's got a little bit of work to do. Need some curtains, courtesy of Mum.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30You need curtains if you're going on holiday, I can tell you that.
0:04:30 > 0:04:31Oh, from experience?
0:04:33 > 0:04:38Possibly. Now, tactics? I want to spend all the money.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41And I want to spend the least amount of money.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43This could be really quite challenging.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Do you have any particular loves in the antique world?
0:04:46 > 0:04:47I absolutely love Rennie Mackintosh.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49I'm not sure you'll be finding a bit of Rennie Mackintosh
0:04:49 > 0:04:52for ?300 but you never know. Yeah, well, it could be that hidden gem.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Well, good luck to all of you.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58What you need is ?300 and I have got ?300 for you
0:04:58 > 0:05:02and I've got ?300 for you. I'll have that, thank you.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Go and spend it all and have a good time. Good luck.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Thank you very much. Thank you. This is really quite fascinating.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Family against romance. What a competition.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15So, let's meet today's experts.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Roll up, roll up, it's David Harper in town for the Reds.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Smashing it for the Blues, it's John Cameron.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29We've got our money. Yep. What are we going to be buying today?
0:05:29 > 0:05:32I'm after some sexy, solid wood.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34I'd like something small, shiny and I love angels.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Jo? I'm after something quirky.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Little spender. Little spender, sell big.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42That's pretty much all the bases covered then.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Right, team. Your 60 minutes starts now.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46HORN TOOTS
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Marvellous, let's go.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Let's go spending, then.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54There are signs these teams have very different styles.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56The Reds quickly find things they like.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Look at those lovely old planters. Are they planters? What are these?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Yeah, feeders of some sort. Feeders, yeah.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05While Paul knows what he doesn't.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08What about that? No. The box? No.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Oh, that's ideal. No.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14I like just the feel of solid wood.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18I think it's just got a history and it's been around for a long time.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22I agree. There's nothing like good wooden furniture.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Now, could life be a picnic for the Blues?
0:06:25 > 0:06:26Well, what about that? No.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28You said you didn't want something '60s...
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Something that's got a bit of character. OK.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Like your mum? Hear, hear.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Now, how are the Reds getting on in their search for wood?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38What about that?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41It's a very plain and simple stick stand.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44I don't mind plain. What about simple, Jo?
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Do you do simple? I'm with Aidan! No offence, Aidan.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Have a look at that grain and tell me what wood is that?
0:06:53 > 0:06:56It's oak. It's oak. It absolutely screams oak.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59I think that that looks about 1943.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Congratulations. Completely wrong.
0:07:01 > 0:07:02THEY LAUGH
0:07:02 > 0:07:07What is it then? Other than oak. I think it might be a bit earlier.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09It looks a bit Arts and Crafts-y, doesn't it?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Kind of 1900, maybe First World War. There's a little plaque in there.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17What does that say? "Alister co, makers, Dursley, England."
0:07:17 > 0:07:19OK, let me have a better look at that.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Stamp number's on the base which is rather nice.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25It's quite unusual to find numbers and a plaque
0:07:25 > 0:07:28and that, I really, really like. What sort of price... I don't know.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Shall we ask the dealer? Good morning, hello, Red team. Morning!
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Hello!
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Oh, I love the bright and cheerful look. Isn't that wonderful?
0:07:36 > 0:07:39This is our first object. Oh, fabulous.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Now, what date do you think it is?
0:07:41 > 0:07:45Oh, you can date it by the maker's mark on there. It's about 1900.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47I think I said 1900 in the beginning
0:07:47 > 0:07:50so I'm absolutely 100% correct as usual, yeah.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Yeah, obviously.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Now, is it cheap and cheerful? Is it as cheerful as you?
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Yes, it's as cheerful as me. It's almost as beautiful as you.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Oh, thank you very much. Jo, hello? You're engaged to this man.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Do you know what he's doing here? He's all talk. Oh, is he?
0:08:06 > 0:08:09So what's the best price you would be able to do this for?
0:08:09 > 0:08:13I was looking for ?50. 50? I was thinking more 30.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18Ouch. I could do 40. 35. 35, yeah. That sounds like 35, doesn't it?
0:08:18 > 0:08:21That's a 35. It's called compromise.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Halfway each. How about 38?
0:08:24 > 0:08:2737? That's called being really tough. 37. 37? Oh, my Lord.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31That's called being ridiculous. Have we done 37? Yes, 37. Go for it.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35BOTH: Deal. Oh, my God. Going up in pounds.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37What has my life come to, honestly?
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Now, now, David. You may have your work cut out.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46Now, how about a bit of colour, Blues? So what have you seen, Joy?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48This has grabbed your attention. I don't even know what it is.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Is it a recycling bin? Well, it looks... I think it probably is.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54I think you might be on the money there, Paul.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56I think, though, it's very retro.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59It's something that people are buying nowadays. I... I love it.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02I love the shape. Yes, I'm not sure it's going to be...
0:09:02 > 0:09:04It looks new so I guess there's going to be...
0:09:04 > 0:09:06There's no dirt, you mean? There's no dirt.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10I know there's not much age to this but, to be fair, the rule book
0:09:10 > 0:09:12has been ripped up at auctions these days
0:09:12 > 0:09:13because there are antique things at auction
0:09:13 > 0:09:15that are just selling for nothing.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17And so, it doesn't have to be old or new.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20I think it's got impact and I think that's important.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22It caught your eye, it caught mine, that's got to be a good sign.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Shall we at least ask how much? Yeah, yeah.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27I think that would be a good idea. How much is it?
0:09:27 > 0:09:31Well, actually, in fact, what is it? It's a waste recycling.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Obviously Italian in design with the colours, I would imagine.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36So, I've got 160 on it.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40It's up to you. I love it. I'm not keen.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44Paul's nervous. I'm not keen. I'm really not keen. But I'm his mum.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47You're his mum. Listen... She's going out on her own on this one.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Mums law, Mum's law. Is there a better price you could do for me?
0:09:49 > 0:09:51120.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Um...
0:09:53 > 0:09:56This is a tough one. Could you do 110 for me?
0:09:58 > 0:10:03I'd do another fiver. 115. 115? Yep. That sounds fair. Wow.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Thank you very much. Your mum is impressive.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Paul's really nervous now. Mum's off the mark. I'm not arguing with Mum.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14Come on, guys. OK, thanks very much. Thank you.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Now, that is a quirky item. Let's hope Mum is right.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21Now have the Reds found something to write home about?
0:10:21 > 0:10:23I was just looking at that bureau over there.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25You do like this wood, don't you?
0:10:25 > 0:10:26BOTH: We do.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28I'm in love. Look at this! This is beautiful!
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Right, tell me, everything about it.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Why you love it, where you think it's from, when it was made.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Right, I think it's 1846. Look at this!
0:10:36 > 0:10:39You're very precise with your dates. And that? What's the writing there?
0:10:39 > 0:10:441944 written on there. So it's definitely pre-1944.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48Well, that's very good. Very good detective skills there, Jo.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51I think you can safely say, if you believe that date to be correct,
0:10:51 > 0:10:56it's pre-1944, isn't it? Well, like I said, I think it's about 1922.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00I would instinctively say it was earlier. I think it was 1890, 1900.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Something like that. But it might be a bit later.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07Shall I go and ask the chap to...? Let me try and find him.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10So, while David goes off to find a price,
0:11:10 > 0:11:13have the Blues found something to brighten their day?
0:11:13 > 0:11:17This is really cute. I love the character on it. It's a nice thing.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19This is very fashionable at the moment.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21I think the key thing is, what's the price?
0:11:21 > 0:11:22Is the price going to be right?
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Do you want to... Shall we find out the price?
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Yeah, do, because I like it. I think it's nice too.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Excuse me, I'm interested in how much the light is.
0:11:29 > 0:11:30350 on that.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31ALL: Oh!
0:11:31 > 0:11:34That's just killed us. That's killed us. That's just killed us.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35We're not even going to insult you.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37We didn't even start with that much, did we?
0:11:37 > 0:11:41I think we're better off down in the dark for that one. Yeah.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Definitely not cheap, Paul.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47But with 20 minutes gone already, there's no time to waste.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51So what's the news on that desk? What are your thoughts?
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Well, Lebus was...
0:11:53 > 0:11:58I think, they were the biggest manufacturer of furniture in Europe.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Where was it made?
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Finsbury and Tottenham. So, price-wise?
0:12:04 > 0:12:08We did have it up for 250. Oh.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11We'd have to come below ?100 for that.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14No, I couldn't... I couldn't do that, I'm afraid.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16It's not going to happen. Thanks a lot. Thanks for your time.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Do appreciate it. Well spotted, you two.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Thank you. Thanks. OK, bye. See you.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24While the Reds go off to find something cheaper,
0:12:24 > 0:12:26I have something I want to show you.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Why do I want you to look at this?
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Because it's a classic piece of Georgian English furniture.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44The sort of thing that I love and the sort of thing
0:12:44 > 0:12:47that can nip under the radar at auction.
0:12:47 > 0:12:52It's from about 1800, it's made of mahogany,
0:12:52 > 0:12:54it's got rosewood cross banding.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Look at the workmanship all the way around these drawers
0:12:57 > 0:12:59and it's multifunctional.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Let's start at the beginning.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Pull out the lopers, drop it down,
0:13:03 > 0:13:05there's the original writing surface
0:13:05 > 0:13:10with its original leather and hinges. Superb.
0:13:10 > 0:13:15Fold it away and what's the next function?
0:13:15 > 0:13:17A bit of sewing.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Open the drawer,
0:13:19 > 0:13:21various compartments here for your sewing items
0:13:21 > 0:13:23and your cotton reels, etc.
0:13:23 > 0:13:28And at the top here we've got a little writing compartment
0:13:28 > 0:13:32and an extra bonus here, the cedarwood drawer linings.
0:13:32 > 0:13:37Cedarwood keeps the moths away. So it's a luxury piece.
0:13:37 > 0:13:4030 years ago this could well have made ?1,200 or ?1,400 at auction.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44I bought it recently for ?200.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Back to the shopping.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56We're halfway through the time and our teams
0:13:56 > 0:13:59have only bought one item each. Come on, guys.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00Anything caught your eye?
0:14:00 > 0:14:04You two quite like big things, don't you? We do. Big items.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06We are into big stuff. Can do, yes.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Anything caught your eye? Not on this, I don't think.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11It's Paul's turn. I'm going to let Paul choose.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Sorry, I know I'm letting the team down but it's got to be right.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18What's that called? Ooh, what is that? There. What is that?
0:14:18 > 0:14:20It looks like something for... Is it a shop fitting?
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Do you reckon, Paul? I'm not sure. Well, these are for hanging stuff on
0:14:23 > 0:14:25but it almost looks like plate racks, doesn't it? Yeah.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Do you think that's plate racks? Yes.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29That's quite interesting, isn't it?
0:14:29 > 0:14:32It certainly looks like it should be in an industrial kitchen,
0:14:32 > 0:14:35doesn't it? A commercial kitchen with stainless steel. Yeah.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36It's got a bit of character to it, hasn't it?
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Is it too battered, do you think? Or...
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Things look battered and shabby these days, don't they?
0:14:43 > 0:14:45?70 is the price on the ticket.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Shall we see if we can find the stallholder? Yeah. Excuse me, sir?
0:14:48 > 0:14:55You've got ?70 on the ticket. What's the very best? Absolute best ?50.
0:14:55 > 0:15:0045? No, it's got to be 50. OK. That's knocking 20 off. All right.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03I think, if it's OK, can we have a think about it and come back to you?
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Yeah, yeah, yes. All right, thank you very much. Appreciate it.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09That's the sort of thing that I think is selling these days. OK.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13That's one for the back burner. Now what are the Reds looking at?
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Look!
0:15:15 > 0:15:18They are amazing. Oh, my gosh. They are... Do you know...
0:15:18 > 0:15:20How I refer to them? Mad!
0:15:20 > 0:15:22They need a bit of work, I appreciate that.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24A bit of work? Adrian, please, help me out.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27The condition, for me, the condition's irrelevant. No!
0:15:27 > 0:15:31I think what we've got to look at, look at the craftsmanship...
0:15:31 > 0:15:34I'm looking. Somebody spends a couple of hundred pounds...
0:15:34 > 0:15:35A couple of hundred?
0:15:35 > 0:15:39..getting the seats done, getting it done up, they will have...
0:15:39 > 0:15:43What are you? An antique salesman? More like an expert, David.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46I reckon that they could be 1786.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Where did you get him from? Seriously? I don't know.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55You don't know? Exactly. Can you send him back?
0:15:55 > 0:15:58What is the date then? No. They're not 1786.
0:15:58 > 0:16:03They're high, late Victorian. So they're 1900-ish. Around there.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06With a mix of different styles all thrown in.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09And, Jo, I'm going to ask you what wood it is. Oh!
0:16:09 > 0:16:13It's a dark wood. I think it's ash. Think back to our first purchase.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17Oh, do you think it's oak? I think it could be oak.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20That's what I meant. Shall we take a punt on this?
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Well, I'm going to have to get you a price, actually.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25We spent an awful lot of time. But they're going to have to be cheap.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Yes, they need so much work.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Off you go, David.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Now, are the Blues trying to add a bit of muscle to their buy?
0:16:32 > 0:16:36Look at that American footballer, Paul? The big American footballer.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39He's got some impact, certainly, hasn't he? He has, yeah.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42But you wouldn't want him, dear. I know. Nope.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Now time for the Reds to talk price.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Hello again. Hello.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Right, best price, bottom line,
0:16:50 > 0:16:53trade, death, whatever you want to call it.
0:16:53 > 0:16:54Where are we going with these chairs?
0:16:54 > 0:16:58For four stunning chairs including a throne? 50 quid.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Do you know what? I'm going to shake your hand straight away with that.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04I'm in there. Do you know what that is? ?12.50 a chair. Fantastic.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08That is phenomenal. No worries. We've got them.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11So with two items bought, how are you feeling, Reds?
0:17:11 > 0:17:13I think we're due a bit of panicking.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17We haven't done the panicking yet and I'm desperate for panicking.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19We'll leave it to the last minute and then we'll go for it. Yeah!
0:17:19 > 0:17:23And what are the Blues chewing over? How about that, John?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25The gumdrop machine? Yeah, the gumdrop machine.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Oh, the gumdrop machine. This takes you back, doesn't it?
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Yeah, this is really cute. I like this. You like that? Yeah.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33You get your personality rating as well. Yeah, personality rating look!
0:17:33 > 0:17:37"Hot stuff, shy, sexy, cool and daydream."
0:17:37 > 0:17:39You pays your money and you takes your chance.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41What a compliment.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45Good morning. Good morning, sir. Good morning. The gumdrop machine.
0:17:45 > 0:17:46First of all, is it working?
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Well, it was working yesterday.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52Normally the 20p goes in, makes a little noise, gumdrops come out,
0:17:52 > 0:17:54this morning I cannot get it to work.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Oh, what a shame, what a shame. So, what's the price of it?
0:17:57 > 0:18:01Well, I was asking for 180, but as it's not working,
0:18:01 > 0:18:02I could do a bit better than that.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05I was thinking when 150. 150.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08No, it's a bit rich. I really like it. It's lovely, isn't it? Yeah.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11I was walking over thinking it was going to be closer to 80.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13He's an estate agent, by the way.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15THEY LAUGH
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Unfortunately, that's less than I paid for it. Is it? Sorry. It is.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22I can go to 110. OK. Which gives me ?10 profit.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28Do you know what? Would you do 105? Oh, go on.
0:18:28 > 0:18:34Unless you can get it working and then I'll pay 110. 105. 105!
0:18:35 > 0:18:36Thank you. Good man, good man.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38We've still got one more item to buy.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41So I think we better crack on. Yeah, let's go. Let's go.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43You're right, John. There's still more to do.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45I think we're doing really well. What do you reckon, Paul?
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Do you think we're doing really good after...
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Yeah, I think we've had a really good start.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52I'm still not sure on the bin but I'm happy with the gumball.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54I think we've got enough time now to focus on something
0:18:54 > 0:18:57we think we can make a bit of money on. Yeah.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00You're meant to be trying to make money on it all, Blues.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04Now, can those Reds find anything that isn't made of wood?
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Wow, look at this. This is an interesting looking place.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07Now, you see, look at that.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09I think we all like what's going on here.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Some stores really draw you in, don't they?
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Yeah. They do. Wow, look at this, Jo. That says...
0:19:14 > 0:19:19It's in French. What's that say? It's... Ancient furniture.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Meubles furniture. Meubles furniture. Anciens. French.
0:19:21 > 0:19:26So that's obviously a sign from an old shop. An old antique shop.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29An antique shop. You could put it on the wall. It's quite sexy.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31It's what? It's sexy. Sexy?
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Sexy. You're so easily pleased, aren't you?
0:19:34 > 0:19:36French is a sexy language!
0:19:36 > 0:19:37Ooh la la.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39I think that that is a really good item.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Shop-fitting items are very, very good news. Quirky. We said quirky.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46But even though it's in French so most of the English population
0:19:46 > 0:19:48would say, "What does that mean?"
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Well, exactly. Talking point. Shall we see what they want?
0:19:51 > 0:19:52Yeah, ask him. Do you want to bring him over?
0:19:52 > 0:19:56Can we have a chat? What price have you got on them? ?60 on the pair.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00The complete sign. To help, I'll do 50.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02It's a really generous price
0:20:02 > 0:20:05but could we go a bit lower than that, please? Not really, no.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06Could we say... Could we say 45?
0:20:06 > 0:20:07Not really, no.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09No. I think that's...
0:20:09 > 0:20:1250 is... 50 is... OK. No, that's fine. I'm happy.
0:20:12 > 0:20:13I'm happy with 50. OK, that's good.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15OK, so, we know where we stand. Thank you very much for that.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Could we not just have another five minutes, just having a look,
0:20:18 > 0:20:20and maybe come back to them? If we don't find...
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Yeah, we can, if... Would you mind holding them? It's not a problem.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25That's very kind of you. We'll let you know. Thank you. Thank you.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28OK, fair enough. Thanks very much. Thank you. Come on, then.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32So, while the Reds have one on hold, what are the Blues thinking?
0:20:32 > 0:20:34I think, if we go and have a look at that item we had,
0:20:34 > 0:20:37the dish holder... If, you know...
0:20:37 > 0:20:40If I can just get ?5 more off of it, it's going to keep me happy,
0:20:40 > 0:20:42so I think it's worth a try.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43You think it's got a chance? Yeah. Yeah.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45And if we can get it for 45 quid,
0:20:45 > 0:20:47it leaves 35 quid for me, doesn't it? Yeah.
0:20:47 > 0:20:48Are you trusting me with ?35?
0:20:48 > 0:20:51That's a little bit too much, actually.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Come on, then. Let's go and see. Let's go. Let's go.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59Now, we take our eyes off the Reds for one moment, and guess what?
0:20:59 > 0:21:02You just love your wood, don't you? Yeah, yeah. We do.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Now, this is something totally different,
0:21:04 > 0:21:07from a completely different part of the world.
0:21:07 > 0:21:08It's southern China. Yeah.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11It's kind of Hong Kong-ish, 1920s.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Now, the sad thing, guys,
0:21:13 > 0:21:16is that I know that that table is ?250 and that's it.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18You've got 213.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21So, we've got ten minutes.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Now, is it time to look at the signs?
0:21:24 > 0:21:26I think it's running time.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Well, while you run off, Reds,
0:21:28 > 0:21:32the Blues look like they've almost made it to the finishing line.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34We're back again. We're intrigued.
0:21:34 > 0:21:35So, we do like it.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Is it... Are you sure we couldn't get it for 45?
0:21:37 > 0:21:39No. 50 is really the best.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Is it? What do you think, Mum?
0:21:41 > 0:21:43I like it. I just think it's a little bit expensive.
0:21:43 > 0:21:44This is the first thing, I think,
0:21:44 > 0:21:47we've seen that we actually both agree on. Yes.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Listen to Mum. Yeah! When your mum makes sense,
0:21:49 > 0:21:50you know Mum knows best. Go on!
0:21:50 > 0:21:51We can do it. Go on. Let's do it.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53?50 it is. ?50.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Lovely. Thank you. THEY CHEER
0:21:55 > 0:22:00Well, the Blues finish as they started, with Mum knowing best,
0:22:00 > 0:22:02but the Reds still have one more item to buy
0:22:02 > 0:22:04and only five minutes of shopping time left.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08Jo, we have bought nothing en route to the signs,
0:22:08 > 0:22:10and the signs have appeared. OK.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11I think it's a sign.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Ba-dum-tish!
0:22:13 > 0:22:15I think we should go with the sign. Yeah.
0:22:15 > 0:22:16Yes! Go with the sign.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Oh, well, show some more enthusiasm, girl.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21I would love us to have those signs! More! More!
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Your acting abilities, we need it!
0:22:23 > 0:22:25So, call him over. Sir!
0:22:25 > 0:22:27OK. And we're going to have them. Thank you very much indeed.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30No problem at all. Thank you. We really appreciate it.
0:22:30 > 0:22:31Thank you. Done? Yes, absolutely. Done.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Yeah, thank you very much. Thank you. Thanks. Thank you.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35You two are stars.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37HE PLAYS FANFARE
0:22:39 > 0:22:42All right, team, your time is up.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44That's it - three. We've got three items. Yay! That's brilliant.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47You mentioned something about a bacon butty, Adrian.
0:22:47 > 0:22:48Let's go. Let's go. Fantastic.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Bacon butties on Adrian.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Now, let's remind ourselves what the Red team have bought.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56First up, a brolly and stick stand.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58It set them back ?37.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Next, they hoped to be sitting pretty with four oak chairs -
0:23:03 > 0:23:04price paid, ?50.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10Finally, for another ?50, a French antique sign.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Tres bon!
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Adi, Jo, have you had a good time? Brilliant. Brilliant time.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16Oh, marvellous! Yes. Wonderful.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19So, what's your favourite lot? The chairs. The chairs?
0:23:19 > 0:23:20Absolutely, the chairs.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23And what's going to make the biggest profit? The chairs!
0:23:23 > 0:23:25It's all about the chairs! Maybe the chairs...
0:23:25 > 0:23:27David, could you cast a vote on this, please?
0:23:27 > 0:23:30The chairs! Yes! Get in, the chairs!
0:23:30 > 0:23:34So, you spent something like ?137, I reckon. Yes, we did. Yes.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Marvellous. That must mean you've got ?163 left over.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40You're good. Am I good? You are very good.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Now, there's a bit of danger here,
0:23:42 > 0:23:45because I think that's probably a trifle too much to give this man.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47LAUGHTER Here. Good luck, David.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Got any ideas?
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Well, I think, Adrian, I'm going to buy something...
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Sexy! Yeah, baby!
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Something sexy.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Let's remind ourselves just what the Blues have bought.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03First up, it's Jo's colourful recycling bin -
0:24:03 > 0:24:07price paid, ?115.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Next, Paul is hoping his 1970s gumball machine
0:24:10 > 0:24:12delivers a sweet reward.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16It cost ?105.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20And lastly, will bids stack up for the stainless-steel plate rack,
0:24:20 > 0:24:22bought for ?50?
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Well, Joy and Paul, you didn't always agree, did you?
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Erm, no, but that's fine.
0:24:27 > 0:24:28No. No.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Did you have to act as referee, John?
0:24:30 > 0:24:32I thought Mum was going to be the one needing holding back,
0:24:32 > 0:24:34but once we let him off the lead, he was just as bad.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35Was he, really? Yeah.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37So, what's your favourite item, Joy?
0:24:37 > 0:24:39My bin - my recycling bin,
0:24:39 > 0:24:42with all the different colours. Your recycling bin. And yours, Paul?
0:24:42 > 0:24:43Mine's the gumball machine.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45The gumball machine? I absolutely love it. Yeah.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48And what's going to make the biggest profit? I hope neither of those.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50So what is? The stainless-steel plate rack.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52The stainless-steel plate rack. Yes.
0:24:52 > 0:24:53Well, I'm going to have to stick to my guns
0:24:53 > 0:24:55and go for the gumball machine.
0:24:55 > 0:24:56Marvellous. There's money to be had there.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Well, I have to admire you for spending so much money.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02It's just tremendous - ?270.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Yes. Yes. So, where's the 30?
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Here it is. Now, John, that's not much money, is it?
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Oh, well, you know me - I'm going to spend it all.
0:25:09 > 0:25:10What are you going to buy with it?
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Well, I don't know what I'm going to buy with it.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Not much, I don't think, to be honest.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18So, while John goes off to buy "not much",
0:25:18 > 0:25:19we're off to the auction room.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Well, we've come down the road to SAS Auctions,
0:25:33 > 0:25:35and here we find the wonderful Thomas Plant.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Thomas, how are you? Roscoe, very well.
0:25:38 > 0:25:39Nice to see you. Is business good?
0:25:39 > 0:25:40Booming, as ever.
0:25:40 > 0:25:46Now, the Red team have bought an interesting mix of items,
0:25:46 > 0:25:49starting in a fairly traditional way,
0:25:49 > 0:25:52and you can see the oak stick stand here.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Well, it's by Lister, so it's got a name to the stick stand. Yeah.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58It's probably early 20th century.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01I agree. I wouldn't say it's the best quality.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02No. But it's got a label...
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Yeah. ..and it's very functional.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06But what do you reckon it's worth? ?40-?60.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09They paid 37.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12I think they should do rather well because this is great for
0:26:12 > 0:26:14your modern interior.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Yeah. People always need umbrellas and...
0:26:16 > 0:26:17So, they're in with a chance there. Yeah.
0:26:17 > 0:26:23Now, this splendid Carolean-style, oak-carved chair...
0:26:23 > 0:26:24With three others.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26I'm going to ask you how you've estimated them.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Well, I have estimated them at ?50-?80.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30Have you? Mmm.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32They paid 50. Fine.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34And behind me is my favourite lot,
0:26:34 > 0:26:36which you have, I think, beautifully displayed.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38It's a great thing,
0:26:38 > 0:26:43but the problem with this is it's in Formica - it's plastic.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Oh. But, actually, as a decorative thing, it's rather fun.
0:26:46 > 0:26:47It is great fun.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49What have you estimated that at? 40 to 60.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53Well, they paid ?50, so it's... It's not too bad, is it?
0:26:53 > 0:26:54They're looking all right, really. Yeah.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57It's just possible that they will need their bonus buy.
0:26:57 > 0:26:58Let's have a look at what it is.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Well, Adrian and Jo, I can see how excited you're looking
0:27:03 > 0:27:05at this moment.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09You spent ?137, so you've left him a shedload of money.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11What's he done with it?
0:27:11 > 0:27:15This, I can tell you, to me, is very sexy.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Jo, remove that cover.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Feast your eyes on that baby! Oh.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24I saw one beside the A4 on the way in here.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27This is the one - it fell out of the back of my car.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29What have you bought?
0:27:29 > 0:27:30It is wonderful.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32I love classic, vintage cars,
0:27:32 > 0:27:36and this takes us back to the, possibly, 1920s.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38I'm... I'm hallucinating.
0:27:38 > 0:27:43If I'm not mistaken, you're holding a rusty old lump of scrap car.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Yeah, a sexy bit of old lumpy, scrappy car.
0:27:46 > 0:27:47The boys would like it.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51Exactly. It's a boy's toy. It's a mantique.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53How much did you pay? About two quid?
0:27:53 > 0:27:54Well, no. Oof!
0:27:54 > 0:27:57I paid ?30 for it. SHE GASPS
0:27:57 > 0:27:59So, David, what do you think this rusty old wheel might make?
0:27:59 > 0:28:03It could make anything from a couple of pounds to a few tens of pounds,
0:28:03 > 0:28:05depending on how many bachelors there are
0:28:05 > 0:28:07in the auction room, but... Yeah?
0:28:07 > 0:28:08Look, look, team,
0:28:08 > 0:28:11I think we've had quite enough of this rusty old wheel.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13You don't have to make up your mind now.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Let's see what the auctioneer thinks of David's rusty old wheel.
0:28:19 > 0:28:20Ah...
0:28:20 > 0:28:21What do you think?
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Well, we were quite surprised when we saw this...
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Yeah. ..because we do automobilia sales and we have
0:28:27 > 0:28:29an automobilia specialist who knows about these things.
0:28:29 > 0:28:30And he's looked at this.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33He's looked at this and studied it, and gave me the description,
0:28:33 > 0:28:35and we really were quite puzzled,
0:28:35 > 0:28:38so we've put ?15-?20 on it.
0:28:38 > 0:28:42It might just struggle a little bit, as they paid ?30.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45Well, I wish David all the best for that one.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48And it could do with a bit of a clean, if I may say so. THOMAS LAUGHS
0:28:48 > 0:28:52Now, going on to Joy and Paul.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Yes. Well, we start with the recycling bin.
0:28:55 > 0:28:56Tell me all about that.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00Well, this is by somebody called Gianluca Soldi -
0:29:00 > 0:29:02it's Italian designer. Yeah.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05Probably designed in the late 20th century. Yeah.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09And it's got another function to it, as well. Mm-hmm.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12So, you've got all the different colours to put your different bits
0:29:12 > 0:29:13of recycling in. Yes.
0:29:13 > 0:29:14But if you are a can drinker -
0:29:14 > 0:29:19and you've got all your, you know, fizzy drinks - you can crush it.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21It's brilliant. Oh! I love that.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23Have you ever seen one like that before? I haven't, actually.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26I haven't at all. No? How have you managed to estimate it?
0:29:26 > 0:29:27It's not very easy. Well, no.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30I mean, there are records of these selling at auction.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32Are there? Yeah, there are. Yeah, there are.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34And I've gone a little bit stronger... Yeah.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36..and I've put, sort of, ?60-?80 to it.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39Yeah, yeah. Well, you're going to have to go a bit stronger.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Oh, really? They paid ?115 for this. Mmm...
0:29:41 > 0:29:43Well, I can see why they did that
0:29:43 > 0:29:46because, if you bought that new today,
0:29:46 > 0:29:50it would be probably more than that... Yeah. Much more.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53Well, what do you think of the gumdrop personality tester?
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Quite fun, though, isn't it? It is fun.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58The one thing which is against it is that these items,
0:29:58 > 0:30:01people like them when they do things, so if you've got
0:30:01 > 0:30:05a slot machine, if you've got an arcade game...
0:30:05 > 0:30:06This is 1970s.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08It's got a great look to it. Yeah.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11But, actually, you've got to fill it with gumdrops... Yes.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13..and then it will work.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15It's battery-operated, so that's another bonus.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17No, I think it's great fun. Yeah. What's it worth?
0:30:17 > 0:30:19?70-?100. Well, that's not too bad.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21That's a pretty good-ish estimate.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23They paid ?105.
0:30:23 > 0:30:24Ah, well...
0:30:24 > 0:30:27They are very close. In with a chance.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29Now, the third item they've bought is
0:30:29 > 0:30:34the English rose stainless-steel hanging plate rack.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36Well, I don't mind this.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38I really don't mind this, Roscoe.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40So, you've put an enormous estimate on it.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42Well, I, you know, ?30-?50.
0:30:42 > 0:30:4330 to 50.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47Find me another one like this which you can put straight on your wall.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50It just needs a clean. Yeah, marvellous.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Well, they paid ?50, so...
0:30:52 > 0:30:53They've got a fair chance.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57But they might need their bonus buy. Let's have a quick look at it.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Jo and Paul, this could be the moment that makes or breaks
0:31:00 > 0:31:01your Bargain Hunt,
0:31:01 > 0:31:03depending on what you think of this.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07Do you want to see it? Oh, please. Please. Go on. Voila.
0:31:07 > 0:31:08Oh. Oh, right. OK.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Underwhelmed.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15And to think, I bought this thinking of you, Joy.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Running through the street with a toga on?
0:31:18 > 0:31:21Well, I wasn't... Well, listen, whatever floats your boat but...
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Tell us about it, John. Well, I knew... Yeah, please do.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26I know you like Art Deco. I do love Art Deco. And this is...
0:31:26 > 0:31:28This is just a typical Art Deco figure
0:31:28 > 0:31:29modelled as Diana the Huntress,
0:31:29 > 0:31:32reflecting athletic women in the '30s and '20s.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35So, so, you don't like it? You're not impressed?
0:31:35 > 0:31:36No, it was just a shock.
0:31:36 > 0:31:37And how much do you think it's worth?
0:31:37 > 0:31:41Well, I think this should be worth around ?50.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Do you think it will make it?
0:31:43 > 0:31:45I don't know. We'll see. Yeah, I know.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Well, we're in the hands of the gods, I think, aren't we, really?
0:31:47 > 0:31:50Yeah, of Diana. You know how much money you left him with, don't you?
0:31:50 > 0:31:51Next to nothing. Was it ?30?
0:31:51 > 0:31:54Yeah, well, how much of it do you think he spent?
0:31:54 > 0:31:55Hopefully ?10.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59I paid ?30. It's all you left me!
0:31:59 > 0:32:01I know, but we know what you're like.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03THEY LAUGH
0:32:03 > 0:32:07I would suggest it's probably worth ?30 but we will wait and see.
0:32:07 > 0:32:08We'll see how we get on.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12You don't have to make a decision now. Make a decision at the auction.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15Meanwhile, let's see what the auctioneer thinks of it.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19There we go. John's offering.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23John's offering. Art Deco...plaster figure group
0:32:23 > 0:32:26of Diana, with her hounds,
0:32:26 > 0:32:29attacking the man she turned into the deer.
0:32:29 > 0:32:33Tells the story rather well, actually.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35It's Deco in style.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37I would say it's probably made in the 1950s.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40It's not the finest, finest quality, I have to say.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42What have you estimated it at? ?30-?50.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44That's not too bad at all because he paid 30.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47Well, he's got a very good chance. It's a look, isn't it?
0:32:47 > 0:32:50Just looking at all these items, it could be a bit tight, couldn't it?
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Yeah, it could be a bit tight.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54You'll be on the rostrum, won't you? Absolutely.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56We will be in the safe hands of Thomas Plant.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58Let's see how he gets on.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Start me at ?60. 65. 70.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04?70 it is. 71. 70 twice.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07How are you feeling? Are you excited? Yes.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10Have you been to an auction before? Yes.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Have you? Have you bought at an auction? Yes.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14We have. A load of absolute rubbish!
0:33:14 > 0:33:16Have you sold at an auction? No.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19Well, today's the day, David! Today is the day.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22We're going to start with the umbrella stand.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26I'm hoping we can't go wrong here. So, here it comes.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29Right, next lot, it's lot 100.
0:33:29 > 0:33:34This is a hexagonal umbrella walking-stick stand with oak panels
0:33:34 > 0:33:36and brass bounding to it.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39I can start the bidding at 45, 50. 50 here.
0:33:39 > 0:33:4355. 60 with me. 65, 70.

0:33:46 > 0:33:50?80. 85. 90. 90, it's here.

0:33:52 > 0:33:55At 95. 100 I have here.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57I have to go 105 internet against you.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59At 110 and I'm out.
0:33:59 > 0:34:00I'm out at 110.
0:34:00 > 0:34:01?110 it is.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04At ?110. Wait, 120.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07120 I have.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09Once at 120.
0:34:09 > 0:34:10Twice at 120.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Selling. 120.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15Do you know how much profit you've made? A lot. ?83.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17The next lot coming up is the chairs.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20You paid ?50 for the chairs.
0:34:20 > 0:34:2219th-century oak diamond chairs.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25They are very smart, these oak dining chairs.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Start me here. ?40.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29Start me here at ?40.
0:34:29 > 0:34:3120 then. 20.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33I've got 20 online.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35It's an online bid at 20 once.
0:34:35 > 0:34:36You win some, you lose some.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38Are we done? 20.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40Oh, you have been done.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43You've lost 30 of your 83.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46Don't panic. You're still up ?53 and here comes
0:34:46 > 0:34:48your meubles anciens.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51A large, modern French shop sign.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Lovely lot, this one here.
0:34:53 > 0:34:57Start me at ?30. 30. ?30 we have online. Is there 5 anywhere else?
0:34:57 > 0:35:00You've got ?30 online. It must be somebody from France.
0:35:00 > 0:35:0260 now online. Yes!
0:35:02 > 0:35:0470 it's online!
0:35:04 > 0:35:07Against you all. At ?70 I have.
0:35:07 > 0:35:0975, now moving on.
0:35:09 > 0:35:10At 75 it is.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13Online bid has it at 75 once,
0:35:13 > 0:35:1675 twice... 75.
0:35:16 > 0:35:21Fantastic! I can announce that you have made
0:35:21 > 0:35:24a profit of ?78.
0:35:24 > 0:35:25THEY GASP
0:35:25 > 0:35:28Which is just phenomenal really.
0:35:28 > 0:35:29Now is the moment critique,
0:35:29 > 0:35:33keeping the French going after the meubles anciens,
0:35:33 > 0:35:36as to whether you go with this wheel.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38We're not going... You're not going with the wheel?
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Not a hope!
0:35:40 > 0:35:44If I may say so, the auctioneer couldn't agree more with you.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46He's estimated at f... ?5. 50.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49F... ?15-?20.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Shall I leave now or wait till...?
0:35:51 > 0:35:53No, you can stay. You want me to stay?
0:35:53 > 0:35:55Lot 107.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57This is an early 20th century
0:35:57 > 0:36:00Ford steel spoke wheel with a chromed hubcap.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03Start the bidding with me here, ?10.
0:36:03 > 0:36:04Somebody start me at ?10 for the wheel.
0:36:04 > 0:36:09At ?10. Surely it's got to be worth ?10? Bit of industrial design here.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11A spoke wheel.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14They've got no taste! No taste!
0:36:14 > 0:36:17Thank you, Dave. ?5. 5 to get this off. 5 I've got.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20Yes! I don't know what I'm getting excited about.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23At ?5. Any advance at 5?
0:36:23 > 0:36:26At 5 it is. Selling once at 5. Oh, no!
0:36:26 > 0:36:28Twice at 5. 5 it is.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30It didn't matter.
0:36:30 > 0:36:35Potentially you've lost ?25 but, in fact, you lost nothing at all.
0:36:35 > 0:36:40You stay with a profit of ?78, which is fantastic.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43Absolutely not a word to the Blue team.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45Walk out of here with a miserable face.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48You may have won, you may have lost. We'll find out.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57Joy and Paul, you're looking quite excited about this.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Confident of a profit?
0:36:59 > 0:37:01I'm not sure confident is the right word.
0:37:01 > 0:37:02THEY LAUGH
0:37:02 > 0:37:04Excited to see what happens.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07Well, here it comes. The bin. You paid ?115.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09It's coming up now.
0:37:09 > 0:37:14Lot 120. A modern, plastic egg recycling bin. This is it.
0:37:14 > 0:37:18Designed by Gianluca Soldi,
0:37:18 > 0:37:20by Ovetto.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24And I can start the bidding, with me here, with a bid of ?30.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27I have a bid on the book at 30.
0:37:27 > 0:37:3030... Yes? He likes it at 35.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32At 35. ?35. 40 now.
0:37:32 > 0:37:3540 I have. Are you coming back?
0:37:35 > 0:37:3745. 50.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39?50. At ?50.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41Ladies and gentlemen, at ?50.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43This could be your chance to change your life.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46To recycle more efficiently.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49At 50 I have once. At 50 twice. Selling then.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51Oh, dear.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53Well, that's a short loss of ?65.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55That's a mere drop in the ocean.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58Here comes the gumdrop personality test.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01Paid ?105.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04I can start the bidding with me here. ?30. 30 I have.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07Any advance at 30? 35. 40.
0:38:07 > 0:38:1045. 50. 55. 60.
0:38:10 > 0:38:1265. 70. 75. 80.
0:38:12 > 0:38:1685. 90... They like gumdrops. ..95.
0:38:16 > 0:38:17100.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20Go on, madam. 110. Yes!
0:38:20 > 0:38:23110, lady's bid. What a profit! At 110 lady's bid.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26At 110 it is. And 120 online against you.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28Oh, go on, madam!
0:38:28 > 0:38:32Madam, you've come all this way. You started it!
0:38:32 > 0:38:33130 it is.
0:38:33 > 0:38:37Lady's bid at 130. 130, room bidder has it. 130 against you once.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39Your last chance. Are we done?
0:38:39 > 0:38:42130. Lady's bid.
0:38:42 > 0:38:46It's a ?25-profit. That has wiped ?25 off your loss.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49You've still got a stainless steel hanging plate rack to go.
0:38:49 > 0:38:53An English stainless steel Venus hanging plate rack.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56Immediately I have ?20 on my book.
0:38:56 > 0:38:57At ?20 it is on my book.
0:38:57 > 0:38:5922 and I'm now at 22.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01He's going in twos.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03At 22. 25 it is.
0:39:03 > 0:39:0728. ?30 I have. At ?30. With a nod, 35.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10With a nod at ?35. At 35 standing.
0:39:10 > 0:39:1335 it is once. 35 twice.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15THEY GROAN
0:39:15 > 0:39:16That's a ?15 loss,
0:39:16 > 0:39:22which added to your ?40 loss, means you're down ?55.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25Shame.
0:39:25 > 0:39:29Anyway, what do you think about the Art Deco plaster group?
0:39:29 > 0:39:32Erm... I'm not keen myself.
0:39:32 > 0:39:37I actually quite like it. Seeing as it's me or it's meant to be me.
0:39:37 > 0:39:38I want to go with it.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41I'm not keen. OK. We'll go with it. You were right on the recycling bin.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47So who's winning? I want a definite answer. Definitely.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49Mum wins and you're going with it? Definitely. I trust John.
0:39:49 > 0:39:50You trust John?
0:39:50 > 0:39:55Well, I can now reveal that the auctioneer also trusts John.
0:39:55 > 0:39:56Ooh!
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Estimate, 30 to 50.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00Wow.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03He thinks you'll make a profit. Let's hope.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06But, of course, auctioneers can be wrong.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09You paid 30 and here it is.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12127. An Art Deco plaster figure group.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14Modelled as Diana and her hounds.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17I can start the bidding, ?15.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20At 15. At 15. No bids at 15.
0:40:20 > 0:40:21Oh.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23?10 for the plaster figure.
0:40:23 > 0:40:2710 I've got. At ?10 it is. 10 it is, I have once.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29Oh, son! Oh, dear!
0:40:29 > 0:40:30Twice. 10 it is.
0:40:30 > 0:40:31Oh, dear.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34I think the hunter just became the hunted.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36I'd better get my coat!
0:40:36 > 0:40:39I bet you're thrilled Mum went with that(!) I was really pleased.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42Well, thanks to Mum, you've lost a cool ?20 on that,
0:40:42 > 0:40:47which has increased your loss from 55 to 75.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50However, that could be a winning score.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53Not a word to that Red team.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56Deadpan faces. And we'll find out in just a moment.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05Well, girls and boys. Did you enjoy that?
0:41:05 > 0:41:07It was great fun.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09Wasn't it fun? Do you know, between you there's only ?3.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11ALL: No!
0:41:11 > 0:41:12Isn't that amazing?
0:41:12 > 0:41:15The only subtle difference is there's a minus sign
0:41:15 > 0:41:17in front of one of them.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19THEY LAUGH
0:41:19 > 0:41:25Because you are today's runners-up, I'm afraid.
0:41:25 > 0:41:29Because you've lost a mere ?75.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31It was tough, wasn't it?
0:41:31 > 0:41:33Didn't start well with that recycling bin.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36You thumped off with a quick loss of ?65.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39These things can happen in an auction room, can't they?
0:41:39 > 0:41:42However, the gumdrop came up trumps, didn't it?
0:41:42 > 0:41:45You made a profit. Pleased with that.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48So despite the loss you've had a nice time, haven't you? Brilliant.
0:41:48 > 0:41:49Excellent time.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52Superb. It's been a roller-coaster, hasn't it? Yeah.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55Up, down, down, down, down.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58You have to come down eventually. You do.
0:41:58 > 0:42:03However, this lot here, were they smart?
0:42:03 > 0:42:07The umbrella stand, I still don't really understand, do you?
0:42:07 > 0:42:10You paid ?37. The auctioneer thought it would make 40 to 60.
0:42:10 > 0:42:15I thought he was spot-on. What did it make? ?120!
0:42:15 > 0:42:17That was just phenomenal.
0:42:17 > 0:42:23It gives me immense pleasure to hand over ?78 to you,
0:42:23 > 0:42:25with a huge congratulations and well done.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28You've had a good time? Yes, definitely.
