TYRES SCREECH

0:00:020:00:04

I'm heading to the British Motor Museum,

0:00:060:00:08

home to a large collection of historic cars -

0:00:080:00:11

rather like this Austin-Healey 3000

0:00:110:00:14

which was designed here in Warwickshire.

0:00:140:00:17

You won't just find historic cars,

0:00:170:00:19

but also it's bustling with antique stalls

0:00:190:00:22

with thousands of items to choose from -

0:00:220:00:24

which means I need to put my foot down.

0:00:240:00:26

Let's go Bargain Hunting!

0:00:340:00:36

Well, I may have found something classy, stylish and collectable,

0:00:580:01:02

but will our teams be able to do the same?

0:01:020:01:04

They'll have £300

0:01:040:01:06

and just one hour in which to buy three items to take off to auction.

0:01:060:01:10

Now, I'll be telling you more about the car later.

0:01:100:01:13

Meanwhile, let's see what's coming up for our teams.

0:01:130:01:16

On today's show, there's discord for the Reds...

0:01:170:01:20

If I'm not allowed those chairs, you're not having that.

0:01:200:01:24

..while the Blues are in perfect harmony...

0:01:240:01:26

# I'm leaning on a lamppost at the corner of the... #

0:01:260:01:29

Hmm.

0:01:290:01:30

..but in a tense auction, there's a chorus of approval.

0:01:320:01:35

-Well done.

-That's fabulous.

0:01:350:01:37

Sold!

0:01:370:01:39

Well, that's all for later.

0:01:390:01:41

Now, let's meet today's teams.

0:01:410:01:43

We've got two married couples.

0:01:430:01:44

On my right, for the Reds, we have Neil and Caroline,

0:01:440:01:47

and for the Blues, we have Simon and Jan.

0:01:470:01:49

Welcome, everyone.

0:01:490:01:50

-ALL:

-Hello.

0:01:500:01:52

Now, Neil, you've been married for nine years, is it?

0:01:520:01:55

That's right. Our wedding anniversary only the other day.

0:01:550:01:57

No! Well, congratulations.

0:01:570:01:59

-How did you meet?

-We were working at...

0:01:590:02:01

-in investment banking together down in London.

-Really?

0:02:010:02:04

Yep. All a bit controversial at the time, though,

0:02:040:02:06

because Caroline actually worked for me.

0:02:060:02:08

Yeah?

0:02:080:02:09

How was that?

0:02:090:02:10

Erm...it wasn't great.

0:02:100:02:12

Because...

0:02:120:02:13

Sounds like a marriage made in heaven, this one!

0:02:130:02:16

He kept overcompensating, trying to put people off the scent.

0:02:160:02:20

-Oh, I see.

-So, would just tell me off randomly in front of everybody.

0:02:200:02:23

-Playing it cool, were you?

-Pretty much, yeah.

0:02:230:02:26

-What made you give it up?

-Lifestyle change.

0:02:260:02:27

-Yeah.

-Yeah, moved up to Warwickshire

0:02:270:02:29

and now working for the family business.

0:02:290:02:31

So, you're no longer the boss.

0:02:310:02:33

-No.

-Oh, dear.

0:02:330:02:34

-Are you the boss now?

-Yes.

0:02:340:02:36

Oh, what a change!

0:02:360:02:38

Well, well done. Now, you're also badminton players, aren't you?

0:02:380:02:41

-We are, yes.

-Who's the better badminton player?

0:02:410:02:43

Oh, definitely Neil. Neil's really good at badminton.

0:02:430:02:46

I'm not actually that good -

0:02:460:02:48

which is why I'm the social secretary for my team.

0:02:480:02:52

You go to the pub.

0:02:520:02:53

Basically, I can organise an evening out.

0:02:530:02:55

And what about antiques?

0:02:560:02:57

-Love 'em.

-Love 'em!

0:02:570:03:00

With regard to tactics?

0:03:000:03:01

Yeah, well, basically what normally happens in our relationship

0:03:010:03:04

-is I have an opinion...

-Yes.

-..she doesn't listen to it...

-Yeah.

0:03:040:03:07

..and we do what she wants to do.

0:03:070:03:08

I have exactly the same marriage.

0:03:080:03:10

How's your marriage? Is it like that?

0:03:100:03:12

-Very similar.

-Yeah!

0:03:120:03:13

Very good. Well, good luck.

0:03:150:03:16

Are you going to spend big or small?

0:03:160:03:18

-Probably quite big.

-Good! That's what we like.

0:03:180:03:20

We like a risk element.

0:03:200:03:22

Now, you two, Simon and Jan.

0:03:220:03:25

How did you meet?

0:03:250:03:26

A long time ago, a friend of mine

0:03:260:03:28

was having a... shall I say, relationship...

0:03:290:03:32

Yes, that'll do. That'll do.

0:03:320:03:34

-I can say relationship.

-You can say relationship.

0:03:340:03:36

-With a girlfriend of Jan's...

-Yeah.

0:03:360:03:38

..and he rang me up one day and said, "Do you want to come down?

0:03:380:03:41

"We've been invited down for tea."

0:03:410:03:43

Arrived at the door to be met by my future wife.

0:03:430:03:46

26 years later, and...

0:03:460:03:48

Still together.

0:03:480:03:49

-Still together. Married.

-Yeah.

0:03:490:03:51

But what a man.

0:03:510:03:52

Because you are THE man, aren't you?

0:03:520:03:54

-THE man?

-You have a number one to your name, don't you?

0:03:540:03:57

I do, yes. Yes, I have to admit.

0:03:570:03:59

-Back in the '70s.

-Early '70s, yes.

0:03:590:04:01

I got lucky with a TV theme tune

0:04:010:04:03

which was released and went to the top of the charts.

0:04:030:04:05

Amazing!

0:04:050:04:06

-What was it called?

-It was called Eye Level.

0:04:060:04:09

Eye Level. Well, you might recognise this.

0:04:090:04:11

HE CHUCKLES

0:04:110:04:13

Gather round, this is history!

0:04:130:04:15

This is history!

0:04:150:04:16

MUSIC: Eye Level by Simon Park Orchestra

0:04:160:04:19

My word.

0:04:190:04:20

What a handsome chap.

0:04:220:04:23

The years have rolled away.

0:04:230:04:25

God, he looks, like, ten years old.

0:04:250:04:26

I try not to look at these clips, but whenever I do,

0:04:260:04:29

at first I think how unfeasibly thin I was

0:04:290:04:32

and secondly, why is it that none of the musicians ever looked at me?

0:04:320:04:35

Cos I'm going like this, you know...

0:04:350:04:37

Wonderful. Now, Jan, what do you do with yourself?

0:04:400:04:44

I love watercolour painting.

0:04:440:04:46

-Oh, do you?

-And we love old cars.

0:04:460:04:48

We go on rallies. It's great fun.

0:04:480:04:49

-You meet interesting people.

-Yeah, yeah.

0:04:490:04:51

-So...

-That's right.

-As long as it doesn't break down.

0:04:510:04:54

-Well, all cars do break down, don't they?

-Absolutely.

0:04:540:04:56

We've had quite a few experiences.

0:04:560:04:58

-Have you?

-Yeah, absolutely.

0:04:580:04:59

So, while you two are shopping, who is going to be running the show?

0:04:590:05:03

-I will.

-Said fairly clearly.

-Yeah.

0:05:030:05:07

-Yes.

-Do you go along with that?

-I'm not going to argue!

0:05:070:05:10

What will you be looking for?

0:05:100:05:12

-A bit of silver, I think.

-Yeah.

0:05:120:05:14

And we're going to buy big, as well.

0:05:140:05:16

-You're going to buy big!

-So, it's going to be very competitive today.

0:05:160:05:18

Oh, this is going to be the last of the big spenders here.

0:05:180:05:20

This is quite exciting.

0:05:200:05:22

Well, I've got a little something for you.

0:05:220:05:25

£300.

0:05:250:05:26

-Thank you.

-There you go.

-Great.

0:05:260:05:28

-300 for you.

-Lovely.

0:05:280:05:30

-There you go, have a great shop.

-Thank you.

0:05:300:05:32

-Thank you very much.

-Lovely.

0:05:320:05:34

Well, there we have it. Commerce versus the arts.

0:05:340:05:38

Pick a winner out of that lot.

0:05:380:05:39

So, let's meet today's experts.

0:05:410:05:42

Motoring around with the Reds, it's Richard Madley...

0:05:440:05:46

..and keeping things in focus for the Blues, it's Thomas Plant.

0:05:480:05:51

What is on our shopping list today?

0:05:520:05:55

Well, for me, I'd really like to see if I can buy some nice furniture.

0:05:550:05:59

Ooh.

0:05:590:06:00

I like anything musical, anything motoring orientated.

0:06:000:06:04

I'm looking for something silver and shiny.

0:06:040:06:06

Silver and shiny.

0:06:060:06:07

-Nice bit of silver...

-Nice bit of silver for you, Jan.

0:06:070:06:09

-Or an old toy would be good.

-An old toy.

-Yeah.

0:06:090:06:12

Right, teams, your time starts now.

0:06:120:06:15

-Right.

-Let's go.

-We're off.

0:06:160:06:17

60 minutes. Oh, gosh, she's off already.

0:06:170:06:20

Well, yeah it's quite modern...

0:06:200:06:21

I mean, that's really pretty, isn't it?

0:06:230:06:26

I think move on.

0:06:260:06:27

I think I'm getting the measure of Jan here.

0:06:270:06:29

Move on.

0:06:290:06:31

Seems our ladies might be in charge today.

0:06:310:06:34

What have the experts to say?

0:06:340:06:35

Always have a little look on the floor, as well.

0:06:350:06:37

-Yes.

-Because often there's little treasures just tucked away.

0:06:370:06:41

They're always called z-z-zithers.

0:06:420:06:44

-Zithers.

-Zithers.

-Yeah.

0:06:440:06:46

Not hitting the right note, Blues?

0:06:460:06:48

Have the Reds got their brains in gear?

0:06:480:06:50

Oh, look at that. The phrenology head by Fowler.

0:06:500:06:55

So, that is dividing up the human head...

0:06:550:06:58

-OK.

-..into all the emotions.

0:06:580:07:00

That's the bit that you're missing - the agreeableness.

0:07:000:07:04

Now, now, Reds. Play nicely.

0:07:040:07:06

Meanwhile, have the Blues found something to write home about?

0:07:060:07:09

Little desk sat there.

0:07:090:07:11

That's sweet, isn't it?

0:07:110:07:12

It is - with a little dip pen in it.

0:07:120:07:14

Yeah, it's pretty.

0:07:140:07:16

To be candid with you, it is a modern set.

0:07:160:07:18

-I would be cautious about buying a modern set.

-OK. OK.

0:07:180:07:22

While the Blues are off to look for something older,

0:07:220:07:24

Richard has spotted a...a thing.

0:07:240:07:26

Can you see that sort of tubular...

0:07:260:07:29

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-..thing.

0:07:290:07:31

Without getting too technical!

0:07:310:07:33

What actually is it, though?

0:07:330:07:34

So, this is a Chinese late 19th-century bamboo brush box.

0:07:340:07:40

-OK.

-It was actually for storing paintbrushes.

0:07:400:07:43

-Right.

-The Chinese love painting and calligraphy.

0:07:430:07:47

This is the sort of thing that is doing well today.

0:07:470:07:49

-Yeah.

-OK.

0:07:490:07:50

I'm afraid it's neither shiny...

0:07:500:07:52

-No, that's all right.

-Nor is it a piece of furniture...

0:07:520:07:54

-No.

-But if we're looking to play the game, it's the sort of item

0:07:540:07:57

-that I think...

-Might do the trick.

-..would do quite well at auction.

0:07:570:08:01

-Yeah.

-Is it something you'd like to pursue

0:08:010:08:03

in terms of finding out, at least, how much it is?

0:08:030:08:05

-I think it's worth it.

-I really like it,

0:08:050:08:07

cos I think it's quite a popular thing for home decoration.

0:08:070:08:10

Sir, the price on your Chinese bamboo pot is...

0:08:100:08:15

Ticket price is £95.

0:08:150:08:17

-Is it?

-I could...do better than that.

0:08:170:08:20

-Right.

-What could you do it for?

0:08:200:08:22

I could go down to 70.

0:08:220:08:23

That seems pretty good to me.

0:08:250:08:26

-What do you think?

-At auction, what do you think it might be?

0:08:260:08:29

Well, funnily enough, I was thinking it would probably go to auction

0:08:290:08:32

perhaps with an estimate of maybe 60 to 80.

0:08:320:08:35

-I'm very tempted, but...

-Yeah, I think so.

0:08:350:08:37

-What do you think?

-Yeah, I think I'd be happy to give it a go.

-Yeah?

0:08:370:08:40

You'll go with me on this one?

0:08:400:08:42

-Go with you on this one.

-With you on that one.

0:08:420:08:44

Thank you, sir, at £70, consider it sold.

0:08:440:08:47

-Lovely.

-Thank you, very much.

0:08:470:08:49

Thanks very much.

0:08:490:08:51

With Richard's lead, the Reds have their first buy.

0:08:510:08:53

Now, over with the Blues. Who's taking charge?

0:08:550:08:57

What about that little china...

0:08:580:09:00

-No.

-..barrel there.

-The barrel?

0:09:000:09:02

-For 25 quid.

-I think...

0:09:020:09:03

I think...

0:09:030:09:05

Madame, soon as it was...

0:09:050:09:06

-"No."

-No.

0:09:060:09:08

No. Firm, aren't you?

0:09:080:09:10

You don't have to like it, darling.

0:09:100:09:11

Yeah.

0:09:110:09:12

What do you like about that, Simon?

0:09:120:09:14

I love the colours of the enamel.

0:09:140:09:15

-Yeah. It is gorgeous.

-He loves orange.

0:09:150:09:17

-I don't, but he does.

-Yes, I love orange.

0:09:170:09:18

Does he wear orange clothes?

0:09:180:09:20

I think he might have had an orange car once.

0:09:200:09:21

-Have you had an orange car?

-I did, yeah.

0:09:210:09:23

In the '70s. Bright orange.

0:09:230:09:25

-You're glad you didn't know him then, aren't you?

-Absolutely!

0:09:250:09:28

But that's quite a lovely thing.

0:09:280:09:30

Let's go back to this. It's Art Deco.

0:09:300:09:32

-Yeah.

-It's guilloche enamel.

-Yeah.

-..on the top.

0:09:320:09:35

So, guilloche enamel is that engine-turned base

0:09:350:09:38

-with the enamel applied to the top.

-It's just very nice.

0:09:380:09:42

Love the comb. How much is it?

0:09:420:09:45

-£12.

-£12.

-£12!

0:09:450:09:48

£12.

0:09:480:09:50

That's got to be a sensible buy for £12, hasn't it?

0:09:500:09:54

And what's your very best on that, £12?

0:09:540:09:56

-I could do 10.

-Wow.

0:09:560:09:58

-£10.

-It's sweet. It's sweet.

0:09:580:10:00

-I think I would do it for £10.

-I think we'd like that.

0:10:000:10:02

-Done?

-Yeah, done.

0:10:020:10:03

-Yes, definitely.

-Definitely done.

0:10:030:10:06

Gosh. Look at you two!

0:10:060:10:07

Thank you very much indeed. Thank you.

0:10:070:10:09

That was a sort of decision made together.

0:10:090:10:11

Well, yes. It might be the last one you'll ever witness, but...

0:10:110:10:15

-Really?

-Yes.

-But it's now caught on camera.

-Yes!

0:10:150:10:17

-You know?

-She can't go back on it.

0:10:170:10:20

These teams are quick.

0:10:200:10:21

15 minutes down and they've bought one item each.

0:10:210:10:24

Will the Reds keep this up?

0:10:240:10:26

-You like those chairs.

-Yeah, they're nice. Yeah.

0:10:260:10:28

Caroline wanted furniture and Neil wanted shiny.

0:10:280:10:32

Have they found a match made in heaven?

0:10:320:10:33

What would they be covered in?

0:10:330:10:35

-Are they covered in metal?

-They are.

0:10:350:10:36

They've got a very Indian, colonial look about them.

0:10:360:10:40

So, they're based on what we in this country would call

0:10:400:10:46

a Regency or Empire style of 1810, 1820.

0:10:460:10:50

What sort of price are we looking at for it?

0:10:500:10:52

Well, on this ticket they've got 250 for the pair.

0:10:520:10:55

So we're not going to have much left for your silverware!

0:10:550:10:58

So, we've got £230 to make two purchases and leave me...

0:10:580:11:02

-Plus some lolly.

-Just a little bit.

0:11:020:11:04

-You don't need much, do you?

-Not... No, not much.

0:11:040:11:07

I have faith that you'll find something!

0:11:070:11:09

So, the Reds plan to spend big.

0:11:090:11:12

Will the Blues also splash out?

0:11:120:11:14

What's that, Jan, do you like that?

0:11:140:11:16

It's quite pretty.

0:11:160:11:18

Nice colour.

0:11:180:11:19

Is that for salts?

0:11:190:11:21

They are salts, yes -

0:11:210:11:22

and the reason why it's got enamel is the salt will destroy the silver.

0:11:220:11:26

-Silver, yeah.

-Yeah.

0:11:260:11:27

It's really pretty.

0:11:270:11:28

With a little dolphin on it.

0:11:280:11:30

Mmm. Looks more like a fish to me.

0:11:300:11:33

-For 85.

-That's have a look at it.

-Pretty.

0:11:330:11:36

Pop it on here. It is very pretty - and unusual.

0:11:360:11:38

It's quite a heavy gauge of silver.

0:11:380:11:41

Well constructed with the screw and the bolts going through there.

0:11:410:11:45

There's the marks, there.

0:11:450:11:46

-Can you see?

-OK.

0:11:460:11:48

It's marked 800, which is a continental standard of silver.

0:11:480:11:51

-Yeah. Sterling's 9...

-925.

-925.

0:11:510:11:54

So, this has got 800 parts of silver to every thousand parts of metal.

0:11:540:11:58

-Yeah, yeah.

-The enamel is slightly rubbed, but...

0:11:580:12:00

I think I'm attracted because of the colour.

0:12:000:12:02

-I really like the colour.

-Yeah.

-What do you think of that?

0:12:020:12:05

-It's beautiful. That would grace any dining table.

-Right.

0:12:050:12:08

It's probably the best novelty salt here today.

0:12:080:12:11

It is novelty, yeah.

0:12:110:12:12

However, I want to talk to you about price, sir.

0:12:120:12:15

-Yes, that's all right.

-It is expensive.

-Yes.

0:12:150:12:17

How much have I got on the ticket, Thomas?

0:12:170:12:19

-Well...

-How much do you think?

0:12:190:12:22

From memory - and I only wrote it out the other night,

0:12:220:12:24

it was 85 on the ticket.

0:12:240:12:26

I'd like to pay 45.

0:12:260:12:28

I'm afraid I can't quite do 45.

0:12:280:12:31

-What can you do?

-I could do 65, if that's any good to you.

0:12:310:12:35

And if I offered you...

0:12:370:12:38

-..60...

-Yeah, I'll do 60, go on.

0:12:400:12:43

-We'll do 60.

-That's great.

0:12:430:12:44

-OK.

-Thank you so much.

-No problem at all.

-Really pleased with that.

0:12:440:12:47

- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much.

0:12:470:12:48

Right, that's it. Second item down.

0:12:480:12:50

Let's go and find our third and final.

0:12:500:12:52

-Come on.

-Excellent.

0:12:520:12:53

-How much we got left?

-Well, you've got loads.

0:12:530:12:55

You've only spent £70.

0:12:550:12:58

22 minutes down, and the Blues are speeding through their shop.

0:12:580:13:02

Are the Reds swinging into action?

0:13:020:13:03

I really like this little children's rocking chair, do you?

0:13:030:13:06

I think our girls would love this, wouldn't they?

0:13:060:13:08

I can see them both on it, yeah.

0:13:080:13:09

-How old are the girls?

-Eight and six.

0:13:090:13:12

Oh, marvellous.

0:13:120:13:13

People buy this sort of furniture with their heart.

0:13:130:13:15

-Yeah, that's right.

-Exactly.

-Emotionally, yeah,

0:13:150:13:17

you can see your child or grandchild sitting on that.

0:13:170:13:20

It looks in good condition, as well.

0:13:200:13:22

-I can't see...

-It feels pretty sturdy, actually, I've got to say.

0:13:220:13:25

Well - how does it rock?

0:13:250:13:28

It's got a good rock to it.

0:13:280:13:29

-Good rock. It's got a good rock.

-I have to say, the rock's going.

0:13:290:13:32

-Good morning.

-Good morning.

0:13:320:13:34

Could we enquire about the price on your child's rocker?

0:13:340:13:37

Yes - it's very sweet, isn't it?

0:13:370:13:39

It is indeed.

0:13:390:13:40

-It's 79.

-79.

0:13:400:13:42

-Ooh, that's...

-It's not 78, or 80 - it's 79.

0:13:420:13:46

Any idea when it was made, or...?

0:13:460:13:48

I would say that chair is probably between 1900 and 1915.

0:13:480:13:53

And elm on the seat.

0:13:530:13:55

-Elm on the seat.

-OK.

0:13:550:13:57

I really like it, actually.

0:13:570:13:58

Yeah, now, £79 is a very precise figure.

0:13:580:14:01

Yeah, I will do it for 70.

0:14:010:14:03

I don't know. 70's still a little bit too much, though,

0:14:030:14:05

-to be honest, on there.

-Look, I'll do 65.

0:14:050:14:08

It's not earning me a great deal,

0:14:080:14:09

but, you know, it will give you a bit more chance to...

0:14:090:14:12

OK, thank you, that's kind.

0:14:120:14:13

Could we put this one on hold?

0:14:130:14:16

-Yes.

-We've got other things to look at, we've got a budget.

0:14:160:14:18

Perhaps come back to you later on.

0:14:180:14:20

-Yes, OK.

-Perfect.

0:14:200:14:21

Thank you very much.

0:14:210:14:23

Hm. One for the back burner.

0:14:230:14:24

Now, are the Blues about to get in a spin?

0:14:240:14:27

-I like that.

-You like that, do you?

0:14:270:14:29

-I do quite like that.

-This is...

0:14:290:14:30

You know, we've had, "Move on, move on, move on,"

0:14:300:14:32

-and we've got, "I like that."

-Yeah, I quite like that.

0:14:320:14:35

-How much is your...?

-175.

0:14:350:14:36

-175.

-I think it's steep.

0:14:360:14:38

Could that "1" disappear?

0:14:380:14:40

I could lose one of the other digits, but I couldn't lose the 1.

0:14:400:14:44

-I think we'll think about it.

-Let's go.

0:14:440:14:47

So, how are the Blue team doing, Thomas?

0:14:470:14:49

I think obviously it's being driven by one person.

0:14:490:14:51

We're doing a look around and we'll come back.

0:14:510:14:54

Because Jan's quite, sort of, "No, let's move on."

0:14:540:14:57

But I think the third and final item,

0:14:570:14:59

Simon and I are going to have to gang up against her.

0:14:590:15:02

Now, the Reds were looking for furniture.

0:15:020:15:04

-Now, they're's a good piece of furniture.

-That's nice.

-Yeah.

0:15:040:15:07

-Isn't that nice? Yeah.

-That's really nice, actually.

0:15:070:15:09

-What is it, exactly?

-Yeah, that's a miniature Wellington chest.

0:15:090:15:12

Sort of 1880, 1890.

0:15:120:15:15

These are always popular -

0:15:150:15:17

but, warning, we are at the top end of the budget.

0:15:170:15:19

-It's going to be pricey again.

-The ticket price is 295.

0:15:190:15:22

-Ah.

-They're very hard to get hold of.

0:15:220:15:25

Yes, no, that is true.

0:15:250:15:26

They're quite rare.

0:15:260:15:27

-Is there some movement in that price?

-Yes, yes, yes.

0:15:270:15:31

Maybe around the 220.

0:15:310:15:33

Down to 220.

0:15:330:15:34

We're just not going to have very much money left

0:15:340:15:36

-if we have that, are we?

-No.

0:15:360:15:38

-So...

-And if I'm not allowed those chairs, you're not having that.

0:15:380:15:40

OK, next.

0:15:420:15:43

As they go off to find something cheaper,

0:15:430:15:45

what are the Blues up to?

0:15:450:15:46

# I'm leaning on the lamppost at the corner of the... #

0:15:480:15:51

Hmm.

0:15:510:15:52

I know you like music, Simon, but less strumming and more shopping.

0:15:520:15:56

It's a ballerina.

0:15:560:15:58

Bronze art.

0:15:580:15:59

It definitely feels cold, like it's a bronze,

0:15:590:16:01

-but I'm quite suspicious that it's probably going to be a resin.

-No.

0:16:010:16:04

I think put it back.

0:16:040:16:05

-Yeah?

-Yeah, put it back.

0:16:050:16:07

Well, that's you told, Thomas.

0:16:070:16:09

So, what is the plan, Blues?

0:16:090:16:11

We've got to buy big now, I think, something really good.

0:16:110:16:13

Perhaps physically bigger.

0:16:130:16:15

More imposing.

0:16:150:16:17

Meanwhile, the Reds have gone back to their original shopping list.

0:16:170:16:20

Now, Neil, you did mention a piece of silver.

0:16:200:16:22

-I did.

-So, I think...

0:16:220:16:23

-And shiny.

-And shiny.

0:16:230:16:25

A shiny piece of silver - so, this is the shiniest stall at the show.

0:16:250:16:30

Well, the Blues found a shiny buy here.

0:16:300:16:32

Can the Reds, I wonder?

0:16:320:16:33

-I quite like the look of this piece.

-An Art Deco hand mirror.

0:16:330:16:36

-Always popular, aren't they?

-Oh, not that side!

-Ooh!

0:16:360:16:38

Oh, that's fine now.

0:16:400:16:41

Often these were parts of dressing table sets,

0:16:410:16:44

and the one lot that survives in those sets is the hand mirror,

0:16:440:16:48

because it still is the most practical piece today.

0:16:480:16:51

We're talking 1930s.

0:16:510:16:53

-OK.

-How's the... How is the glass itself?

0:16:530:16:56

-The glass is absolutely fine.

-The glass is OK.

-That looks good.

0:16:560:16:59

-Yeah, I think so.

-And the price I see on it is...

-35.

0:16:590:17:02

OK.

0:17:020:17:04

How gentle could you be with us on that figure?

0:17:040:17:07

-Erm...28.

-28.

0:17:070:17:11

-Yes.

-Do you want to put this into our locker?

0:17:110:17:14

I think I'd like to have it into our little...

0:17:140:17:17

-Pot of goodies.

-Yeah.

-Into our pot.

0:17:170:17:19

While the Reds are creating a big list of possibles

0:17:210:17:23

and the Blues are looking for a large item,

0:17:230:17:25

I'm popping outside to catch up with an old flame.

0:17:250:17:28

Remember that car I was driving earlier?

0:17:350:17:38

Well, here it is.

0:17:380:17:39

The iconic Austin-Healey 3000,

0:17:390:17:43

designed by Donald Healey and his son, Geoffrey -

0:17:430:17:46

largely in their attic here in Warwickshire.

0:17:460:17:50

Well, they made this car and they took it to the Motor Show in 1952,

0:17:500:17:55

and it really did turn some heads.

0:17:550:17:58

As a young child, I remember sports cars being very angular,

0:17:580:18:02

being very upright and square and boxlike -

0:18:020:18:05

not really aerodynamic at all.

0:18:050:18:08

But then into the '50s, cars like this were produced -

0:18:080:18:11

and look how sleek it is.

0:18:110:18:12

How wonderful the lines.

0:18:120:18:14

The air rushes off it as you accelerate up to 100mph and further.

0:18:140:18:19

Not allowed to do that nowadays, but you could then.

0:18:190:18:22

And the huge three-litre engine,

0:18:220:18:24

which really gave it some serious poke.

0:18:240:18:27

Could be a little bit hairy to drive.

0:18:270:18:29

It was a bit dodgy in the wet -

0:18:290:18:31

you could lose the back of it

0:18:310:18:33

when you went whipping round corners.

0:18:330:18:35

How am I able to say that?

0:18:350:18:37

Well, I can say that because I owned one.

0:18:370:18:38

Yes, back in about 1971, '72, I had a ropey one.

0:18:380:18:45

It's all I could afford. It wobbled a bit, it rattled a bit,

0:18:450:18:48

it blew up eventually, and I couldn't afford to repair it.

0:18:480:18:53

It was rather sad.

0:18:530:18:55

But I sold it for £500 to my boss and I've regretted it ever since.

0:18:550:19:01

The biggest regret came a couple of years ago

0:19:020:19:05

when, in America, I auctioned one of these.

0:19:050:19:08

In good condition, admittedly,

0:19:080:19:10

and it made the equivalent of £50,000.

0:19:100:19:14

Why, oh why, did I get rid of mine?

0:19:160:19:19

MUSIC: Non, je ne regrette rien by Edith Piaf

0:19:200:19:23

Back at the fair, I hope our teams don't have any regrets.

0:19:390:19:42

They've only 20 minutes of shopping left.

0:19:420:19:44

The Reds still have two items to buy.

0:19:440:19:47

Quite nice little table.

0:19:470:19:49

Not at that price.

0:19:490:19:51

While the Blues are looking for their last.

0:19:510:19:54

It goes with your '70s theme, doesn't it?

0:19:540:19:55

Orange cars, Troika pottery.

0:19:550:19:58

I have moved on a little bit...

0:19:580:19:59

-Have you?

-Yeah, I have, really. Yeah.

0:19:590:20:01

-Ooh, wow!

-A lot of money, isn't it?

0:20:010:20:03

£170. We have got a lot of money left.

0:20:030:20:05

Perhaps bear this in mind.

0:20:050:20:06

-I think it's a park item, isn't it?

-Yeah.

0:20:060:20:08

We'll definitely think about that.

0:20:080:20:11

That's a growing list of maybes.

0:20:110:20:13

Now, have the Reds found something to flap about?

0:20:130:20:16

A pigeon clock.

0:20:160:20:18

-A pigeon clock?

-A pigeon clock.

0:20:180:20:19

-What's that?

-Whatever that might be.

0:20:190:20:21

Let's have a look inside, shall we?

0:20:210:20:24

-Oh!

-Ooh, look at that.

0:20:240:20:25

That's interesting.

0:20:250:20:28

This is for racing pigeons.

0:20:280:20:30

This is to time in and back...

0:20:300:20:32

-Clock them in and out.

-Yes, exactly.

0:20:320:20:34

-OK.

-Yeah, indeed. This has got a nice, what I call...

0:20:340:20:39

sort of country house look about it.

0:20:390:20:41

Even though pigeon racing

0:20:410:20:43

was predominantly a sort of working-class pastime.

0:20:430:20:47

I like the look of it.

0:20:470:20:48

It's in its original box.

0:20:480:20:51

Did you like the price you saw when you...?

0:20:510:20:53

I did. I saw £18.

0:20:530:20:55

-That's pretty good, really, isn't it?

-I think, as a price...

0:20:550:20:57

If you feel it, as well, I mean...

0:20:570:20:58

-It's quite a sturdy piece.

-Oh, gosh!

0:20:580:21:00

I can't believe how heavy that is!

0:21:000:21:01

So, how much appeal do you think something like this

0:21:010:21:03

-would have at auction?

-I've never sold one before,

0:21:030:21:06

so I've got no idea what it might be worth.

0:21:060:21:09

However, I've got a good feel about it.

0:21:090:21:12

I think that Neil has made a good spot.

0:21:120:21:13

He's spotted something unusual, and if this is catalogued correctly,

0:21:130:21:18

we could find pigeon fanciers from all over the country

0:21:180:21:21

-gagging to buy a clock.

-That's right!

0:21:210:21:24

So, shall I invite the owner over?

0:21:240:21:27

-Yes.

-Definitely.

-Let's enquire.

-Madam, could we ask you a question?

0:21:270:21:31

-Yes.

-Your pigeon clock is priced at £18.

-Yes.

0:21:310:21:36

Is there a little bit of movement to help the Red team?

0:21:360:21:40

-Just a little bit, I'm afraid.

-Yes.

0:21:400:21:42

-16.

-£16 is the...

0:21:420:21:45

-Well...

-It's quite fairly priced anyway.

0:21:450:21:47

-Yeah.

-I think that sounds pretty fair to me.

0:21:470:21:50

-You like it.

-I think they'll come flocking.

0:21:500:21:53

Like it! Well, it could just fly away at auction.

0:21:550:21:58

I tell you what, we might "suck seed".

0:21:580:22:00

-Anything could happen.

-It's getting very heavy, as well.

0:22:010:22:04

Oh, it's getting heavy! In that case, we'd better buy it.

0:22:040:22:07

-Let's shake on it.

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you very much.

0:22:070:22:09

Finally, a purchase -

0:22:110:22:13

but you've still got another item to buy.

0:22:130:22:15

Over with the Blues, Thomas has a suggestion.

0:22:150:22:18

Now, let's buy something really big.

0:22:180:22:20

-Yeah.

-Like an oil jar.

0:22:200:22:21

Yeah, possibility.

0:22:210:22:23

-It's a large...

-Very nice.

0:22:230:22:24

Is it an original sort of thing?

0:22:240:22:26

Well, I think it's got a bit of age.

0:22:260:22:28

It's got its own stand.

0:22:280:22:30

-Looks like it.

-Conservatory, hall - it's quite a good-looking thing.

0:22:300:22:34

-Yeah.

-What is it going to cost us?

0:22:340:22:36

Well...I think this lovely lady here owns it.

0:22:360:22:40

-Hello.

-Hello.

0:22:400:22:42

I've got 150 on it.

0:22:420:22:44

-OK.

-There's a little bit of room for manoeuvre.

0:22:440:22:46

-A little bit, you say?

-Yeah.

0:22:460:22:47

How much is a little bit?

0:22:470:22:49

I can do it for 130 for you.

0:22:490:22:50

If we've gone down to 130, could you do a little bit more?

0:22:500:22:54

125.

0:22:540:22:56

-No?

-Yes.

-A fiver off.

0:22:560:22:58

Would you accept 95?

0:22:580:23:00

That's too low for me, I'm afraid.

0:23:000:23:02

-Below the hundred?

-120. 120 is the lowest I can go.

0:23:020:23:07

It's big, you get a lot for your money...

0:23:070:23:09

Makes a statement.

0:23:090:23:11

I have sold big jars before in the past,

0:23:110:23:13

and they do appeal.

0:23:130:23:15

-Yeah.

-Because people like them for their conservatories...

-Yeah, yeah.

0:23:150:23:17

..their hallways...

0:23:170:23:19

and they've always made just over £100.

0:23:190:23:22

-OK.

-So this is where I'm coming from.

0:23:220:23:25

-Yeah.

-There's a deep sigh, I know there's a deep sigh coming.

0:23:250:23:28

I know there's a closing of the eyelids and...

0:23:280:23:31

HE SIGHS

0:23:310:23:32

..but maybe you could.

0:23:320:23:34

-110.

-110.

-110.

0:23:350:23:38

It's a great shape, it's a great look -

0:23:380:23:40

I love the texture, I love the colour.

0:23:400:23:42

I think at 110, it's worth a punt.

0:23:420:23:44

-I think that that's our third item.

-Can you do that?

-110, that's fine.

0:23:440:23:47

-So, you don't have to take it home!

-Fantastic, room in the car.

0:23:470:23:50

Great. OK. Thank you.

0:23:500:23:52

Thank you very much indeed.

0:23:520:23:54

And with that big spend,

0:23:540:23:56

the Blues have finished shopping with ten minutes left.

0:23:560:23:59

Over with the Reds, Richard has thoughts on their last item.

0:23:590:24:03

I'm still hoping that Caroline will buy the rocking chair.

0:24:030:24:06

She loved it. She's got two little girls,

0:24:060:24:09

she could see them sitting on that rocking chair themselves.

0:24:090:24:12

So I think at times the heart has got to take over.

0:24:120:24:15

Well, what do you know?

0:24:160:24:18

While Richard is talking about it, the Reds are taking action.

0:24:180:24:21

So, yes, it is just the price, really, on this that we were...

0:24:220:24:26

a bit stuck on, to be honest.

0:24:260:24:27

So, what price would you feel comfortable with?

0:24:270:24:30

Nearer 50.

0:24:300:24:32

But I understand that...

0:24:320:24:33

Well, I mean... It doesn't leave me a great deal of room.

0:24:330:24:37

55. How would that do?

0:24:370:24:39

So, what's going on here, then?

0:24:390:24:42

-Negotiation?

-You've caught me.

0:24:420:24:44

We are back to the rocking chair.

0:24:440:24:45

When you first saw this chair, you said, "I love that little chair."

0:24:450:24:50

-I did.

-So, decisions time -

0:24:500:24:52

because we haven't seen anything else that matches this,

0:24:520:24:55

apart from the Art Deco silver mirror.

0:24:550:24:58

So, it's whether you're going to win with your silver piece

0:24:580:25:01

-or am I going to win with my furniture?

-Furniture it is, then.

0:25:010:25:03

-Well, that was quick.

-We know how that's going to go, don't we?

0:25:050:25:08

-Neil's happy because...

-I'm happy.

-..you're happy,

0:25:080:25:11

and I'm happy because Neil's happy because you're happy.

0:25:110:25:13

-In that case, shall we shake on it?

-We shall.

0:25:130:25:15

-I'm happy because you've bought it.

-Thank you.

0:25:150:25:17

So, everyone is happy.

0:25:170:25:19

Right, teams. Your time is up.

0:25:210:25:23

-All done? Lovely.

-All done.

0:25:230:25:25

Come on, let's go and have a cup of tea.

0:25:250:25:26

You've got a lot that you love.

0:25:260:25:28

Now, let's check out what the Red team have bought.

0:25:280:25:31

First up, will the bamboo brush pot paint a profit?

0:25:330:25:37

Bought for £70.

0:25:370:25:38

Next was the racing pigeon clock with an oak case.

0:25:410:25:44

Price paid £16.

0:25:440:25:45

Lastly, the child's rocking chair.

0:25:480:25:50

It cost £55.

0:25:500:25:52

Will it rock the saleroom?

0:25:520:25:54

Neil and Caroline, it was much to be expected, wasn't it?

0:25:560:25:59

We knew who was in control.

0:25:590:26:01

Yes, well, I think I let you have a say now and again, didn't I?

0:26:010:26:04

Yeah - as and when you told me I could.

0:26:040:26:07

Was it like that, Richard?

0:26:070:26:08

No, we had a clear plan from the outset,

0:26:080:26:10

and we tore it up as soon as we entered into the shopping.

0:26:100:26:13

So, Neil, your favourite item?

0:26:150:26:16

-The pigeon timer.

-Well, there's a shock.

0:26:160:26:19

-And yours, Caroline?

-Definitely the rocking chair.

0:26:190:26:21

-Yeah.

-I think it was a really cute little item, so...

0:26:210:26:23

Lovely lot. What's going to make the biggest profit?

0:26:230:26:25

I'm really hoping the rocking chair will make a good profit,

0:26:250:26:29

-but we'll see.

-You spent £141.

0:26:290:26:32

So I need 159, please.

0:26:320:26:34

-Go on, then.

-To this wonderful man here,

0:26:360:26:38

-who no doubt will have a cunning plan.

-I do indeed.

0:26:380:26:41

I've made a clear list of half a dozen items

0:26:410:26:44

that I think will be perfect -

0:26:440:26:46

and I think I'll tear it right up as soon as I walk out

0:26:460:26:48

and buy something totally different. Like we've done all day.

0:26:480:26:51

-That's very wise.

-Wonderful.

0:26:510:26:53

While Richard goes off to tear up his list,

0:26:530:26:55

let's remind ourselves what the Blue team have bought.

0:26:550:26:57

They started with the orange enamel brush and comb set.

0:26:580:27:01

It cost them £10.

0:27:010:27:03

Next, will their silver salt dish make a splash?

0:27:050:27:08

Price paid £60.

0:27:080:27:10

Finally, their large olive jar.

0:27:120:27:14

It cost a hefty £110 - but will it make a large profit?

0:27:140:27:18

Simon and Jan, good shopping.

0:27:200:27:22

Has he looked after you well?

0:27:220:27:23

A mine of information.

0:27:230:27:24

Simon, what's your favourite lot?

0:27:240:27:26

I think the salts, possibly, just about -

0:27:260:27:29

the silver salts are lovely.

0:27:290:27:31

Yes, good. Jan, what about you?

0:27:310:27:32

My choice, the salts.

0:27:320:27:34

-Yeah.

-They're beautiful.

0:27:340:27:35

Yeah, they are - and will it make the biggest profit?

0:27:350:27:37

-No, I don't think so.

-What will make the biggest profit?

0:27:370:27:39

I think Simon's choice might.

0:27:390:27:41

I think the hairbrush might.

0:27:410:27:43

-Well, it was so cheap, wasn't it?

-It was cheap.

0:27:430:27:45

Anyway, so you spent £180...

0:27:450:27:47

-We did, yeah.

-So you're going to leave £120, aren't you?

0:27:470:27:50

We have every faith in you.

0:27:500:27:53

What are you going to do with that?

0:27:530:27:55

Well, I have got something up my sleeve I've seen

0:27:550:27:58

and I believe, Simon,

0:27:580:28:00

it's going to be of interest to you.

0:28:000:28:02

-Well...

-Sorry, Jan.

0:28:020:28:04

So, while Thomas goes off to find something interesting,

0:28:040:28:09

I'm off to the auction.

0:28:090:28:10

Well, I'm just outside Lichfield

0:28:180:28:20

at the saleroom of Richard Winterton,

0:28:200:28:22

and I'm with the boss himself.

0:28:220:28:24

-Richard, how are you?

-I'm very well.

0:28:240:28:25

-And you're very welcome.

-Well, thank you very much.

0:28:250:28:27

Lovely to be back. Now, we're kicking off with Neil and Caroline

0:28:270:28:30

and we start with the brush pot - what do you think?

0:28:300:28:34

-To be really honest...

-Yeah, be honest.

0:28:340:28:35

-I don't understand this.

-No.

0:28:350:28:37

There's a lot of work gone into it, and it's got a bit of age to it.

0:28:370:28:40

What are we? 1910-ish?

0:28:400:28:42

-I would think early 20th century.

-Yes, something like that.

0:28:420:28:44

-Yeah.

-But I'm struggling to see who's going to buy it.

0:28:440:28:47

Yeah. What about value?

0:28:470:28:49

We've gone 30 to 50.

0:28:490:28:50

Yeah, well, they paid £70.

0:28:500:28:52

It's got a big split down it.

0:28:530:28:55

I just can't see it. We may be wrong.

0:28:550:28:56

-You know, the internet is strong, we might be wrong.

-Yes.

0:28:560:28:59

Anyway, the next item is rather different.

0:28:590:29:02

It is Neil's favourite lot and it's the pigeon clock.

0:29:020:29:06

What do you do with it?

0:29:060:29:07

Well, race pigeons.

0:29:070:29:09

If you're a pigeon fancier, then fantastic.

0:29:090:29:10

It's probably out of date to what the modern technology

0:29:100:29:13

for what they have to use these days.

0:29:130:29:15

It's Edwardian, I suppose, isn't it?

0:29:150:29:17

Yes. It is. Yeah.

0:29:170:29:18

Jolly nice oak case.

0:29:180:29:21

Yeah... You know, we've gone 15 to 30 on it,

0:29:210:29:23

and again, I am struggling to see who my buyer will be.

0:29:230:29:26

At that money, it doesn't matter - they only paid £16 for it.

0:29:260:29:30

-OK.

-So...

-Yeah.

-We're going to be pretty safe, aren't we?

-Yeah.

0:29:300:29:32

Looks like it. What about the child's rocking chair?

0:29:320:29:35

It's a good standard chair.

0:29:350:29:37

They're quite popular.

0:29:370:29:39

There's always people that want them.

0:29:390:29:40

And it's stylistically pure Victorian, isn't it?

0:29:400:29:43

It is but I don't think we could call it Victorian.

0:29:430:29:46

No. "Style"?

0:29:460:29:47

We love the word style.

0:29:470:29:49

Good auctioneer's word.

0:29:490:29:50

-We don't think it's Victorian, but it's Victorian style.

-Yeah.

0:29:500:29:54

-So, what about value?

-We've gone 40 to 60.

0:29:540:29:57

-Yeah, well, they paid 55...

-OK.

-..which isn't untoward, is it?

0:29:570:30:00

-No, no.

-They might be all right.

0:30:000:30:02

So, it might be, of course, that they will need their bonus buy.

0:30:020:30:06

Let's have a look at it.

0:30:060:30:08

Neil and Caroline - may I call you the boss?

0:30:090:30:11

-You may. Yes.

-Any doubt?

0:30:110:30:14

-No doubt, none.

-None whatsoever.

0:30:140:30:17

Well, you left this fine man with a massive amount of money, didn't you?

0:30:170:30:20

We did -

0:30:200:30:21

-a lot more than I was expecting to leave him with, actually.

-£159.

0:30:210:30:25

-Yes.

-What have you done, Richard?

0:30:250:30:27

Well, I went and tore up the list that we'd worked from all day

0:30:270:30:31

and I bought you...this.

0:30:310:30:34

-Ooh, that's nice.

-Ooh - what is it?

0:30:340:30:36

A late 19th century, possibly early 20th century,

0:30:360:30:41

walnut humidor.

0:30:410:30:43

-Oh!

-It's a cigar casket that was made in India during the Raj

0:30:430:30:49

and therefore made, perhaps, for an officer

0:30:490:30:52

from the Warwickshire regiment -

0:30:520:30:54

and it's got the coat of arms for the Warwickshire Regiment,

0:30:540:30:58

which I think is quite telling.

0:30:580:31:00

A fitted interior...

0:31:000:31:01

..inside. Two divisions, two types of cigars.

0:31:020:31:05

And the sort of thing that would have sat in the regimental mess

0:31:050:31:09

and brought round after dinner.

0:31:090:31:11

-How much did you spend on it?

-Ah, good question.

0:31:110:31:14

Priced originally at £45.

0:31:140:31:17

-OK.

-I bought it for 30.

0:31:170:31:19

-Oh, right.

-OK.

-You did well!

0:31:190:31:22

-Thank you. Praise indeed.

-Praise indeed!

0:31:220:31:25

And do you think it will make a profit?

0:31:250:31:27

Not a lot, but perhaps 10, £15.

0:31:270:31:30

You don't have to make up your mind now.

0:31:300:31:32

You can do that during the auction.

0:31:320:31:34

But you quite like that object.

0:31:340:31:36

-Yeah.

-I sense you quite like it.

0:31:360:31:38

I wonder what the auctioneer thinks of the humidor.

0:31:380:31:41

Here it is.

0:31:430:31:45

Humidor, cigar box.

0:31:450:31:47

I've always liked these things.

0:31:470:31:49

It's nice, clean sort of item to keep your goodies in.

0:31:490:31:53

-Yeah, yeah.

-Yeah.

-It's Anglo-Indian, I think.

0:31:530:31:56

It is and it's got a nice little crest on the top,

0:31:560:31:58

-which all helps towards it.

-Yes. The Warwickshire Regiment.

0:31:580:32:01

-It's a commercial object.

-What about value?

0:32:010:32:03

-We've gone 30 to 50.

-Have you?

0:32:030:32:05

-Richard paid £30, so...

-OK.

-..should be safe, shouldn't it?

0:32:050:32:08

-Yeah, yeah. Happy with that.

-Very good.

0:32:080:32:10

Moving on to another married couple, Simon and Jan, the Blue team,

0:32:100:32:15

we start off with that rather charming child's brush and comb set.

0:32:150:32:18

It's striking when you look at it, isn't it?

0:32:180:32:20

-Yeah.

-That kind of yellowy-orangey sort of look -

0:32:200:32:23

and the enamel is beautifully done, you know. What are we, 1920s?

0:32:230:32:27

-Yes.

-They are quite popular for christening gifts

0:32:270:32:30

-or birthday gifts for young children.

-Yeah.

0:32:300:32:32

So we've gone 40 to 60.

0:32:320:32:34

Well, I can't believe it - they only paid £10 for it.

0:32:340:32:38

-10?

-Yeah.

-No, that is... Yeah!

0:32:380:32:40

For the amount of work in that, that is fantastic.

0:32:400:32:43

They've also gone with enamel here.

0:32:430:32:45

What do you think of the salt?

0:32:450:32:47

Now, we've gone from one extreme to the other, to me,

0:32:470:32:49

because, to me, when I'm looking at that, there, I'm struggling with it.

0:32:490:32:53

-Are you?

-We've put 50 to £80 on it.

0:32:530:32:55

It's all down to commercialism, what you do with it.

0:32:550:32:58

Little pins or whatever.

0:32:580:32:59

They'll be quite pleased that you've gone 50 to 80,

0:32:590:33:02

simply because they paid £60.

0:33:020:33:04

Oh, did they?

0:33:040:33:05

So, having bought two small and attractive pieces in enamel,

0:33:050:33:08

they were looking for a "statement piece".

0:33:080:33:12

And their statement is this huge olive jar.

0:33:120:33:15

-It's really commercial, put it in your garden...

-Yeah.

0:33:150:33:18

..you know, everyone loves that sort of thing.

0:33:180:33:20

I see a lot come through.

0:33:200:33:22

-I don't think there's a lot of age to it...

-No.

0:33:220:33:24

..but it's visual.

0:33:240:33:25

50 to £80.

0:33:250:33:27

They are going to be a little bit disappointed, I suspect.

0:33:270:33:29

They paid £110.

0:33:290:33:31

-Oh, Charlie.

-Yeah.

0:33:310:33:33

Punchy, isn't it?

0:33:330:33:34

It may be that they paid a little bit too much for that -

0:33:340:33:37

and in which case, they might need their bonus buy.

0:33:370:33:40

So we'll have a quick look at that.

0:33:400:33:41

Simon and Jan, you spent most of your money, didn't you?

0:33:430:33:46

-You spent £180.

-Did we?

0:33:460:33:48

Yeah, you left him with £120.

0:33:480:33:50

Right, do you want to see what I spent?

0:33:500:33:52

Definitely.

0:33:520:33:54

-Oh, my goodness me.

-This is a motoring picnic basket.

0:33:540:33:56

-Ooh!

-It flaps down, look at that.

0:33:560:33:59

-Oh, that's cool.

-Wow!

-That is cool, isn't it?

0:33:590:34:01

-That is cool.

-And you've even got the blanket in there.

0:34:010:34:03

-That is absolutely fabulous.

-How much did you pay?

0:34:030:34:05

Well, how much do you think this would...

0:34:050:34:07

I mean, this is a real piece of work.

0:34:070:34:09

To make this out of the willow...

0:34:090:34:11

To buy this new today would be an absolute fortune.

0:34:110:34:13

-Mm.

-It would have to be all handmade.

0:34:130:34:15

-Beautiful.

-OK, 80.

0:34:150:34:17

-Much less.

-I would think 40.

0:34:170:34:19

-£30.

-Well done!

0:34:190:34:21

-£30.

-Got to be done for £30.

-Really good.

0:34:210:34:24

I had you in mind.

0:34:240:34:25

-Well, that's...

-Because I know you like vintage cars...

0:34:250:34:27

He didn't have me in mind!

0:34:270:34:29

The thing is, Jan...

0:34:310:34:32

The thing is, Jan, on the shop, you chose quite a few things.

0:34:320:34:36

You have no grounds for complaint.

0:34:360:34:37

That's fair.

0:34:370:34:39

-That's fair.

-I think it's wonderful.

0:34:390:34:41

-Good.

-I think it's great - and you reckon it's going to make, how much?

0:34:410:34:44

-50 to £80.

-Yeah.

-Absolutely.

0:34:440:34:46

-I'd pay 50 quid for that.

-Really good.

0:34:460:34:47

-Yeah.

-Lovely.

-This is good.

0:34:470:34:49

Seldom have I seen two more satisfied customers.

0:34:490:34:52

I wonder if the auctioneer shares their enthusiasm.

0:34:520:34:55

This is what Thomas has spent his money on.

0:34:570:34:58

Ah! Have a look at that.

0:34:590:35:02

Yeah. This is fab. This is good!

0:35:020:35:05

-It's brilliantly made.

-It's lovely wickerwork, isn't it?

0:35:050:35:08

It is, yeah - and it's made, you know,

0:35:080:35:10

to withstand a bit of wind going down the road.

0:35:100:35:13

You've got two lots of interest here, haven't you?

0:35:140:35:16

People will buy it for what it is,

0:35:160:35:18

-but also your car market people.

-Yeah. Yeah.

0:35:180:35:20

They've got a lot of money, these car people, haven't they?

0:35:200:35:23

Yeah. We've gone 40 to 60.

0:35:230:35:24

-Have you?

-Yeah.

-Thomas only paid £30 for it.

0:35:240:35:28

For the work in that, Charlie, it's nothing, is it?

0:35:280:35:30

-And it's in good condition.

-It is, fantastic.

-Goody.

0:35:300:35:33

Well, you'll be taking the auction?

0:35:330:35:34

I am, can't wait.

0:35:340:35:36

-I'm looking forward to taking my position.

-Good.

0:35:360:35:38

Neil, and your boss, Caroline.

0:35:440:35:47

How are you feeling about this experience?

0:35:470:35:49

Really excited about it.

0:35:490:35:50

-You look excited.

-Very positive about it.

0:35:500:35:52

-Good.

-Very confident.

0:35:520:35:53

Positivity will flow forward to the auctioneer.

0:35:530:35:56

-Let's hope so.

-Who will respond.

0:35:560:35:58

Here we go. Here comes the brush pot.

0:35:580:36:00

It's the brush pot carving there.

0:36:000:36:02

-Come on now, come on.

-£20 bid.

0:36:040:36:06

-Come on.

-£20 bid.

-That's not bad, straight in.

0:36:060:36:08

£20 bid. £30 bid. Come on.

0:36:080:36:09

-£30 with me. £30 I'm bid.

-Come on.

0:36:090:36:12

-£30, I'm bid.

-We need a bit more than that, don't we?

0:36:120:36:14

-Oh, it's a bargain, come on.

-£30, I'm bid.

0:36:140:36:17

-£30 on commission, at £30.

-No...

0:36:170:36:19

Internet is... Nothing going on at all.

0:36:190:36:22

I've no option. Hammer up.

0:36:220:36:25

-Oh...

-Oh, dear.

-That's disappointing.

0:36:250:36:27

You've lost £40, I'm afraid.

0:36:270:36:30

Yeah.

0:36:300:36:31

Here comes the pigeon clock.

0:36:310:36:33

The pigeon clock now.

0:36:330:36:36

Cased racing pigeon clock.

0:36:360:36:39

£5, I'm bid. 5. £5 bid. £5 I'm bid.

0:36:390:36:43

-5 - £6 I'm bid.

-Oh, dear.

0:36:430:36:45

Six whole pounds(!)

0:36:450:36:47

-£10.

-There you go.

-£14.

0:36:470:36:50

-£16.

-Come on, pigeon!

0:36:500:36:53

Come on. One more pound!

0:36:530:36:54

There at £16.

0:36:540:36:56

-18.

-Yes!

-Hooray!

0:36:560:36:58

-£20.

-Well done, that man.

0:36:580:36:59

£20. All out, sold at 20...

0:36:590:37:04

-Ooh, four whole pounds!

-That's a £4 profit.

0:37:060:37:08

-Yes!

-£4.

0:37:080:37:10

Unfortunately, you were down 40,

0:37:100:37:12

so now you're only down 36.

0:37:120:37:14

That's quite good, isn't it?

0:37:140:37:16

Child's rocking chair.

0:37:160:37:19

£20. £10, I'm bid.

0:37:190:37:21

£10, I'm bid. 15, 18, £20.

0:37:210:37:25

-There's got to be a grandparent out there...

-Here we go.

0:37:250:37:28

£30 there, at £30. £30.

0:37:280:37:31

-35, the internet.

-Keep going!

0:37:310:37:35

-Come on, come on.

-Someone on the internet.

-45, the internet.

0:37:350:37:38

50 in the room. 50 in the room.

0:37:380:37:41

£50.

0:37:410:37:43

You're all finished?

0:37:430:37:44

-All done.

-No...

0:37:440:37:46

Oh!

0:37:460:37:48

-Minus a fiver.

-Not looking good!

0:37:480:37:50

You were -36,

0:37:500:37:52

which means you've lost £41.

0:37:520:37:55

Could have been so much worse.

0:37:550:37:56

Anyway, you've got to make up your mind on...humidor.

0:37:560:37:58

-What do you think?

-We've got to go for it, haven't we, now?

0:37:580:38:01

-Yeah, definitely.

-You're going with the bonus buy.

-Yeah.

0:38:010:38:04

-100%.

-Yeah.

-No going back.

0:38:040:38:06

-Here it is.

-Now we go to 365 now.

0:38:060:38:09

The little rectangular cushion-top hardwood smoking box there.

0:38:090:38:14

Where are you going to be? I'm £10.

0:38:140:38:16

£15. £20.

0:38:160:38:17

-£25.

-Oh, he's rattling along.

0:38:170:38:19

£25. £25.

0:38:190:38:22

£30, the internet.

0:38:220:38:24

£30, the internet.

0:38:240:38:25

-Come on.

-Here at £30, all done.

0:38:250:38:29

Selling at 30...

0:38:290:38:30

-Oh!

-Oh, well.

0:38:310:38:33

Richard, you put all that work in.

0:38:330:38:36

Where's the Warwickshire Regiment when you need them, eh?

0:38:360:38:39

-And China.

-And China.

-Anyway, you haven't made a profit or loss there.

0:38:390:38:43

So, overall, you're just down a cheeky little £41.

0:38:430:38:46

-Oh, not too bad.

-I think that's...

-Not too bad.

0:38:460:38:49

No, that might well be a winning score.

0:38:490:38:52

-You never know.

-So, don't talk to the Blues, please.

0:38:520:38:55

Promise me you won't talk to the Blues.

0:38:550:38:57

-We promise.

-And we'll find out later.

0:38:570:38:59

Simon and Jan, do you spend many days in salerooms?

0:39:060:39:09

-We have done, yeah.

-Have you?

0:39:090:39:10

-Over the years, quite a few.

-Bought quite a few things?

0:39:100:39:13

-Sold more than I've bought, I think.

-Have you? Like today.

0:39:130:39:17

I love this little brush and comb set.

0:39:180:39:20

Sweet little thing this,

0:39:210:39:22

the cased child's brush and comb.

0:39:220:39:24

Orange enamel mount, sweet little thing.

0:39:240:39:26

£10, I'm bid.

0:39:260:39:27

£10, I'm bid.

0:39:270:39:28

£15, I'm bid.

0:39:280:39:29

-20.

-Oh! Superb.

0:39:290:39:31

-It's worth every penny, this.

-Yes.

0:39:310:39:34

£30, I'm bid.

0:39:340:39:36

£30. Commission at £30.

0:39:360:39:38

£30, I'm bid.

0:39:380:39:40

All done and sold at £30...

0:39:400:39:43

-That'll do.

-Well done.

0:39:430:39:45

-That's fabulous.

-Well done.

0:39:450:39:46

That's a profit of £20.

0:39:460:39:48

-Exquisite.

-Here comes the salt.

-It's beautiful.

0:39:480:39:51

Little open salt there.

0:39:510:39:53

£20 to start me. Little enamel salt.

0:39:530:39:56

£20 I'm bid.

0:39:560:39:58

25.

0:39:580:39:59

£30.

0:39:590:40:01

-Come on.

-Come on.

-We're only halfway there.

0:40:010:40:03

-Where's the internet?

-35.

0:40:030:40:06

35.

0:40:060:40:08

35, the internet.

0:40:080:40:10

35, the internet.

0:40:100:40:12

-I think this is cheap.

-Oh, no.

0:40:120:40:14

All done?

0:40:140:40:15

Internet bid, 35.

0:40:160:40:18

Do you know, that means you've lost

0:40:180:40:20

£25 on that object? You were up 20,

0:40:200:40:22

which means you're now down a fiver.

0:40:220:40:25

-Oh, dear.

-So you've got to get this olive vessel going.

0:40:250:40:28

This is for the garden, terracotta, twin handled,

0:40:280:40:31

the big olive oil vessel.

0:40:310:40:33

Where are you going to be? £50. 40. £40.

0:40:330:40:37

£40 to start me.

0:40:370:40:38

£20.

0:40:380:40:39

£20.

0:40:390:40:40

5. 30.

0:40:400:40:42

5. 40.

0:40:420:40:43

5. 50.

0:40:430:40:45

50 there. £50.

0:40:450:40:47

£50. £50.

0:40:470:40:49

-Lots of olives.

-Yes.

0:40:490:40:51

Second row at 50.

0:40:510:40:52

-Come on, bid!

-We need more bids.

-We need more bids.

0:40:520:40:55

50...

0:40:550:40:56

-Yours, madam.

-Oh, dear.

0:40:560:40:58

I'm afraid, team, that's a loss of £60.

0:40:580:41:01

It's not good, is it? Which added to your little fiver

0:41:010:41:04

means you are down £65.

0:41:040:41:06

-Oh, dear.

-However, like the cavalry over the brow of the hill

0:41:060:41:10

comes Thomas Plant.

0:41:100:41:12

-We've got to go with it.

-What do you think?

0:41:120:41:14

Do you want to go with the bonus buy?

0:41:140:41:16

I don't think there's any doubt about it.

0:41:160:41:17

-It's a great buy.

-No, definitely.

0:41:170:41:19

You both liked it, didn't you?

0:41:190:41:20

-Definitely.

-Definitely going with the bonus buy?

0:41:200:41:22

-We haven't got a lot to lose.

-Yes.

-100%?

0:41:220:41:24

100%, let's go.

0:41:240:41:26

-Going with the bonus buy.

-Yes!

0:41:260:41:28

Here we go.

0:41:280:41:29

It's the wicker, it's the twin-handled picnic hamper.

0:41:290:41:33

It's a beauty. Back of your sports car, driving off, beautiful.

0:41:330:41:37

Perfect. Get it bought.

0:41:370:41:39

£20, bid. £30, bid.

0:41:390:41:41

£30, I'm bid.

0:41:410:41:42

35, I'm bid. 40, I'm bid.

0:41:420:41:43

45, I'm bid.

0:41:430:41:45

45, the internet.

0:41:450:41:48

-More, come on.

-50, 60.

-Yes!

0:41:480:41:50

Go on, internet.

0:41:500:41:52

..that in the back of your car...

0:41:520:41:54

£60, the internet.

0:41:540:41:56

All of you out. The room is out.

0:41:560:41:58

All done...

0:41:580:41:59

Thomas, that's a super performance.

0:42:000:42:02

-You've doubled their money.

-Good.

0:42:020:42:04

And you've nearly halved their loss.

0:42:040:42:05

-Shame!

-Well, you were down 65, Thomas has chiselled 30 off that,

0:42:070:42:12

so you're actually only down £35.

0:42:120:42:15

-Oh!

-So, don't talk to the Reds about it, OK?

0:42:150:42:18

-Not a word.

-Absolutely.

0:42:180:42:19

Has anybody told you two teams

0:42:270:42:29

that the idea on Bargain Hunt is to make money?

0:42:290:42:32

Losses on the left and losses on the right, I'm afraid -

0:42:320:42:35

but there's not much in it.

0:42:350:42:36

It has been a really tense competition.

0:42:360:42:39

And I'm going to tell you the runners-up, by a tiny margin,

0:42:400:42:46

are the Red team.

0:42:460:42:48

I wouldn't look too smug about that, Blues.

0:42:490:42:52

I'll come to you in a minute!

0:42:520:42:53

But you lost a princely sum of £41.

0:42:530:42:58

But never mind, you only lost 41.

0:42:580:43:00

Now, I don't know what you're so smug about, Blues,

0:43:000:43:02

because frankly you lost marginally less - £35.

0:43:020:43:07

Not too bad!

0:43:070:43:08

But of course, you get absolutely nothing for winning the competition.

0:43:080:43:12

Other than the glory of knowing that you and Planters

0:43:120:43:16

have beaten our Red team by a smidgen.

0:43:160:43:20

Anyway, don't forget to have a look at our website
