Today Bargain Hunt is in Derbyshire,

0:00:020:00:03

which is famous for a local delicacy.

0:00:030:00:06

Just a little over 150 years ago,

0:00:060:00:08

a landlady asked her maid to make a pastry tart with an almond crust.

0:00:080:00:13

Well, she messed up the ingredients,

0:00:130:00:15

but fortunately for us, she produced a Bakewell pudding.

0:00:150:00:20

There's friendly local competition amongst bakeries

0:00:200:00:22

to create the perfect pud.

0:00:220:00:24

But I'll be the judge of that.

0:00:240:00:27

And the winner is...

0:00:330:00:34

Well, it's a perfect draw.

0:00:360:00:38

Let's go Bargain Hunting!

0:00:380:00:40

Our fair is in the grounds of Kedleston Hall.

0:01:020:01:05

It's packed with over 400 stalls for our teams,

0:01:060:01:10

so there's plenty to get the juices flowing.

0:01:100:01:13

But will our Red and Blue teams cook up a profit?

0:01:130:01:17

They've got £300 and 60 minutes to bag three bargains.

0:01:170:01:22

But before all that, here's a taste of what is coming up.

0:01:220:01:26

It's all about life's challenges.

0:01:310:01:34

The Reds feel the pressure.

0:01:340:01:36

-You've done great.

-It's hard work.

0:01:360:01:39

Will the hare win the race for the Blues?

0:01:390:01:41

You break it, you buy it, Mum.

0:01:430:01:45

And there is a real battle down at the auction.

0:01:450:01:48

90, sir?

0:01:480:01:49

Selling... Sold.

0:01:510:01:53

But all that is coming up later, so let's meet our teams today.

0:01:540:01:58

Now, they're both mother and daughter teams.

0:01:580:02:01

For the Reds, we have got Moira and Julia.

0:02:010:02:03

And for the Blues, we have got Rebecca and mum Mellie.

0:02:030:02:07

-Hello.

-Hello.

0:02:070:02:08

Moira, starting with you. Now I know you retired,

0:02:080:02:11

but you could be said to be something of a pioneer in the profession in which you worked?

0:02:110:02:16

Well, yes, I've been in nursing...

0:02:160:02:18

I was in nursing for 42 years and I ended up managing cancer services

0:02:180:02:23

and looking after people who were living with cancer.

0:02:230:02:26

Your 42 years were rewarded, for the want of a better term, with an OBE.

0:02:260:02:31

I was. In 1998, I was awarded the OBE.

0:02:310:02:36

I went to Buckingham Palace and I was given the OBE by the Queen,

0:02:360:02:40

but the most exciting thing, I suppose, was that Alex Ferguson

0:02:400:02:43

was made Sir Alex Ferguson that day.

0:02:430:02:46

And all the patients wanted to know was,

0:02:460:02:49

did I get my picture taken with him and did I get his autograph?

0:02:490:02:52

It was really a marvellous experience.

0:02:520:02:55

-And well-deserved.

-Thank you very much.

0:02:550:02:57

Julia, I believe you followed your mother into nursing?

0:02:570:03:01

Yes, I did. I tried not to, because my sister is a nurse,

0:03:010:03:04

my mum is a nurse, my gran was a nurse,

0:03:040:03:06

so I tried lots of different jobs like silver service waitressing,

0:03:060:03:10

an opticians, bar work.

0:03:100:03:12

But then I succumbed and I applied for my nurse training

0:03:120:03:15

and I've also been a nurse for 27 years.

0:03:150:03:18

Wow. It's in your DNA, isn't it, you two?

0:03:180:03:20

-Yes.

-Julia, I also know that you're a bit of a collector.

0:03:200:03:24

I like wood. Wooden things.

0:03:240:03:26

I love the colour and the patination,

0:03:260:03:28

just the feel of wood and the fact that it's so solid.

0:03:280:03:31

Moira, you've got a slightly different interest.

0:03:310:03:33

Yes, I collect Swarovski crystal.

0:03:330:03:36

There's a big international market for it?

0:03:360:03:38

Yes, there is - very, very popular.

0:03:380:03:40

So, ladies, what's your strategy going to be today?

0:03:400:03:43

I think it's important to buy something that you like.

0:03:430:03:46

OK, lovely. Coming over to our Blues.

0:03:460:03:49

Daughter Rebecca and mum Mellie. Rebecca, starting with you,

0:03:490:03:52

I believe you've got a very good eye for antiques.

0:03:520:03:54

You collect certain things.

0:03:540:03:55

Well, things I like at home, I've got a field microscope,

0:03:550:03:58

an old British Empire map, I do like sort of scientific instruments.

0:03:580:04:02

Is your work related in any way to all this collecting?

0:04:020:04:05

Well, I suppose sort of. I am a chartered surveyor by trade

0:04:050:04:08

and I'm now a university lecturer. Commercial property.

0:04:080:04:11

So I don't really get involved in the technical side too much.

0:04:110:04:14

OK. Mellie, what do you like about spotting a bargain?

0:04:140:04:18

I like bargain spotting a lot, I have to say.

0:04:180:04:21

I think it's a bit of a competition sense for me.

0:04:210:04:25

I like finding things that are good value for money.

0:04:250:04:29

And you can just detect the slightest of accents.

0:04:290:04:32

-Right.

-Originally you are from Germany?

0:04:320:04:34

I came from Germany, yes.

0:04:340:04:37

So as a result of that do you have a leaning towards, dare I say,

0:04:370:04:40

German antiques?

0:04:400:04:41

I do like things that are in one or another way connected

0:04:410:04:46

to my own family history, rather than antiques per se.

0:04:460:04:50

OK. But you've got more talents, haven't you?

0:04:500:04:53

You do a bit of palm reading, I'm told.

0:04:530:04:56

Yes, I do.

0:04:560:04:57

It's a naughty bit because I don't know a lot about it,

0:04:570:05:01

and the reason is because I had quite a number of

0:05:010:05:05

rather boring formal dinners,

0:05:050:05:08

and then you try to find something to entertain you

0:05:080:05:11

during the five courses of meal, so yes.

0:05:110:05:15

I'm sorry, I do make things up

0:05:150:05:17

but it's all in good fun and I always tell them afterwards.

0:05:170:05:21

-All in good fun?

-Yes.

-OK.

0:05:210:05:23

Well, in all seriousness, here's £300.

0:05:230:05:25

-Thank you.

-And here's £300.

0:05:250:05:29

-Thank you.

-So this is where I say cheerio

0:05:290:05:31

and auf wiedersehen and to you, ladies,

0:05:310:05:34

will you nae come back again?

0:05:340:05:35

And at this point, you've got to go off and find your experts.

0:05:350:05:39

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

-Now, if I was reading palms,

0:05:390:05:41

I think it would be fair to say that I would be telling them that the

0:05:410:05:44

future holds an awful lot in the way of tough competition.

0:05:440:05:48

Let's find out.

0:05:480:05:49

Our experts are ready for action.

0:05:510:05:53

Rescuing the Red team, it's Danny Sebastian.

0:05:530:05:56

And he knows all about antiques for the Blues, it's Jonathan Pratt.

0:05:570:06:01

OK, guys. What are we looking for today?

0:06:060:06:09

Something, a little bit of silver, a bit of glass.

0:06:090:06:12

Something which I suppose is aesthetically pleasing

0:06:120:06:16

but also useful.

0:06:160:06:18

OK, yes. Yes. Me?

0:06:180:06:19

THEY LAUGH

0:06:190:06:21

I'm joking.

0:06:210:06:22

I love wood, love the colour, love the feel of it.

0:06:220:06:25

So anything wooden.

0:06:250:06:26

Industrial chic?

0:06:260:06:28

Wow, OK, that's lots of stuff. And there's lots of stuff here.

0:06:280:06:30

PHONE RINGS

0:06:300:06:31

Yes? Yes? I've just heard - time starts now, teams.

0:06:320:06:37

Let's go and start.

0:06:370:06:38

Let's go and have a look.

0:06:400:06:41

Now, Rebecca is gadget queen and she's found one straightaway.

0:06:440:06:49

How do we feel about trouser presses?

0:06:490:06:51

-Oh, blimey.

-A bit of a classic, no?

0:06:510:06:53

There's a small market for it.

0:06:530:06:55

Really. Things that people would be buying, you know,

0:06:550:06:57

boxes are functional so they're used as coffee tables and toy boxes and things like that.

0:06:570:07:00

-Quite a limited amount of market, I'd say.

-OK. Fair point.

0:07:000:07:05

Listen to your expert, ladies.

0:07:050:07:06

It's not like you're pressed for time.

0:07:060:07:09

But as the heavens open, let's see what the Reds have found.

0:07:090:07:13

It says silver plate.

0:07:130:07:15

But we don't really want silver plate, do we?

0:07:150:07:16

We don't mind a bit of silver-plate if it's an extraordinary piece.

0:07:160:07:20

But with it just being a tray, we want something a bit more grand.

0:07:200:07:24

Oh, dear. That's the rain.

0:07:240:07:26

And if you look, it's really coming down.

0:07:260:07:28

I'm getting kind of worried, me.

0:07:280:07:29

I think we might need to head towards the big tents,

0:07:290:07:33

the big marquees, you know. And then at least we'll keep dry.

0:07:330:07:36

Absolutely.

0:07:360:07:37

10 minutes in, and while the Reds' approach is to get out of the rain,

0:07:370:07:41

the Blues are braving it.

0:07:410:07:43

-Not old.

-No.

0:07:440:07:45

-But decorative.

-Yes, exactly.

0:07:450:07:47

I think this is the sort of thing I certainly had in mind.

0:07:470:07:49

Doesn't seem to be a ticket price on there.

0:07:490:07:51

I'll go and ask the chap and see what he'll do for us.

0:07:530:07:56

While Jonathan goes off to get a price,

0:07:560:07:58

the Reds are safely undercover.

0:07:580:08:01

Now, what have you found out, Jonathan?

0:08:010:08:03

OK, well, I've just spoken to the stallholder,

0:08:040:08:06

and he'd do it for £65.

0:08:060:08:08

From our point of view, it's too much to start with.

0:08:080:08:11

-Shall we move on?

-Let's move on.

0:08:110:08:12

We'll go inside and get out of the rain.

0:08:120:08:14

No need to rush quite yet.

0:08:140:08:16

You're right, Blues. 12 minutes in, still plenty of time.

0:08:160:08:19

Ah, now, the Reds have found something

0:08:190:08:22

that was top of Julia's shopping list.

0:08:220:08:24

Treen. It is a bit of treen.

0:08:240:08:26

There will be something in there, though.

0:08:280:08:30

What's in it?

0:08:310:08:33

A thimble. That's nice.

0:08:330:08:36

Yes, Scottish wooden souvenir pieces, known as Mauchline ware,

0:08:360:08:39

can be very collectable.

0:08:390:08:41

That's a bit of home.

0:08:410:08:42

"Bonington falls on the Clyde".

0:08:420:08:45

That's a bit of home!

0:08:450:08:46

It says £30, though.

0:08:460:08:48

-Is that a lot?

-We can always ask him if there's any reduction.

0:08:480:08:52

It's in great condition.

0:08:520:08:53

It really is. It's a finely made thing.

0:08:530:08:55

Do you like it?

0:08:550:08:56

I think it's lovely, Danny.

0:08:560:08:58

And you like wood.

0:08:580:08:59

It's very tactile.

0:08:590:09:01

Moira and Julia, they quite like this little...

0:09:010:09:03

Mauchline ware.

0:09:030:09:05

Yes. They like it.

0:09:050:09:07

So you want us to tweak the price a little bit for you?

0:09:070:09:09

-We would like you too.

-So what's on it?

-£30.

0:09:090:09:12

What do you think, Sue? 25?

0:09:120:09:15

Is that about it? Can we round it to 20?

0:09:150:09:17

I know we're really, really cheeky.

0:09:170:09:20

£20.

0:09:200:09:21

What you lose in the fire, you gain in the ashes.

0:09:210:09:23

You might do all right after we're gone.

0:09:230:09:25

Thank you very much.

0:09:250:09:27

Thank you very much.

0:09:270:09:29

£20, then, and nice to see two happy customers.

0:09:290:09:32

And you've got your first item in 15 minutes.

0:09:320:09:35

So Blues, anything inspire you?

0:09:350:09:37

Oh, wow. There's some nice things here.

0:09:400:09:42

-Mum, what have you found there?

-Is there anything that you can...

0:09:430:09:47

I won't know about this.

0:09:470:09:49

We can see the way it's made just by this here.

0:09:490:09:53

You know, it's slip moulded in a cast and then glazed.

0:09:530:09:56

So what you are buying is a decorative pottery hare.

0:09:560:09:58

You know, you have to ask yourself, what's it worth?

0:09:580:10:01

And it might be worth more to you than someone else

0:10:010:10:04

or the other way around. It's quite nicely modelled.

0:10:040:10:06

-It's very heavy.

-Are we thinking it would sell for around £30?

0:10:060:10:10

Well...

0:10:100:10:12

That's my feeling but then, you know,

0:10:120:10:14

the chap might have 60 or £80 on it.

0:10:140:10:16

He hasn't got any prices on these things, has he?

0:10:160:10:19

So it's all open to...?

0:10:190:10:20

I just think it's very...

0:10:200:10:23

Let's pop it back for a second.

0:10:230:10:24

-..attractive.

-If you really like it, then it might be worth question.

-Yep.

0:10:240:10:27

Somehow I don't think you're going to see the last of that hare,

0:10:270:10:31

Jonathan. Now, where are the Reds?

0:10:310:10:33

What are you thinking? Talk to me, Moira.

0:10:340:10:36

A bar brooch, it is a little thistle.

0:10:360:10:39

What does that mean?

0:10:390:10:41

That means we've got to keep on looking, because the clock's running.

0:10:410:10:44

You're only 20 minutes in, Reds, so don't panic.

0:10:440:10:47

Over to the Blues, who haven't moved stalls.

0:10:470:10:50

Is there anything else in here you'd like to look at?

0:10:510:10:53

I did quite like the look of some of that sort of glassware.

0:10:530:10:56

I can see these fitting in quite well into somebody's bookshelf

0:10:560:10:59

in a quite modern apartment.

0:10:590:11:01

Very light and simple, though.

0:11:010:11:03

Not a lot of age, I don't think.

0:11:030:11:05

-No.

-I don't think that's terribly old.

0:11:050:11:07

Unlike something like this, which is Whitefriars and the quality of this

0:11:070:11:10

-is much greater.

-OK.

0:11:100:11:11

I don't think that you're terribly interested.

0:11:110:11:13

I think, on that basis, we should see what the price of the hare is.

0:11:130:11:17

-OK.

-And then maybe go and move inside.

0:11:170:11:19

OK, that's a good one.

0:11:190:11:20

I know it's pouring but at 25 minutes in,

0:11:200:11:24

you might have to brave the rain at some point, Blues.

0:11:240:11:26

Wait for me!

0:11:260:11:27

Like the Reds.

0:11:280:11:30

It's terrible, this is.

0:11:300:11:31

I tell you what, I think we'll go straight into this next marquee,

0:11:310:11:34

shall we?

0:11:340:11:35

The Blues moved about a yard and Rebecca has found something

0:11:350:11:38

that takes her back to her roots as a chartered surveyor.

0:11:380:11:42

I don't really know what they are, what to make of them,

0:11:420:11:44

but I think they're just really lovely.

0:11:440:11:47

And this is obviously imperial system which is sort of,

0:11:470:11:50

I don't know...

0:11:500:11:51

It's quite classic and I don't know... What do you think this was used for?

0:11:520:11:55

Making sails or...

0:11:550:11:57

This tapered end is a bit strange.

0:11:570:11:59

You can see this is all sort of, you know...

0:11:590:12:01

..First World War, that sort of period.

0:12:030:12:06

I admire your measured approach, Blues,

0:12:060:12:08

but at some point you're going to have to make a choice.

0:12:080:12:11

Now, how are the Reds doing?

0:12:110:12:13

Is that pewter, no?

0:12:130:12:14

£25.

0:12:140:12:16

Yes, it is. Hammered pewter.

0:12:160:12:18

-Do you like it?

-No, I don't particularly like it.

0:12:180:12:20

Oh, it's hard.

0:12:200:12:22

Over to the Blues who are still looking at the measuring sticks.

0:12:230:12:27

Could you tell me what the price for all three of them together would be?

0:12:290:12:33

The best price would be 90.

0:12:330:12:34

I think 90,

0:12:340:12:36

if that's your best price, then I'm afraid that is, for us,

0:12:360:12:40

that's too expensive.

0:12:400:12:41

That's no problem.

0:12:410:12:43

-So pop those down. Shall we go for the hare next?

-Yeah.

0:12:430:12:47

There's another bit that I am interested in,

0:12:470:12:50

and that would be that lovely hare. Can you tell me the price?

0:12:500:12:53

That one's 95.

0:12:530:12:54

And they sell like hot cakes. That's called an Arctic hare.

0:12:550:12:59

There's two types, the Brown and the Arctic.

0:12:590:13:01

-OK. So that's obviously very unique.

-That's a seller, is that.

0:13:010:13:06

Is 95 your best price for it?

0:13:060:13:08

That's the best on it, yeah.

0:13:080:13:10

OK. And last but not least, there is this little cup here?

0:13:100:13:14

'Last but not least, what have you found now, Mellie?'

0:13:140:13:18

It's the sort of item people might collect.

0:13:180:13:21

You look at it and you think, it's something children might have made.

0:13:210:13:24

-Yeah.

-It's quite crudely decorated.

0:13:240:13:26

But you look underneath and it's got the Bizarre by Clarice Cliff transfer on the bottom.

0:13:260:13:30

Clarice Cliff is a very famous name in decorative pottery,

0:13:300:13:33

Art Deco. She was a potter, early 20th century,

0:13:330:13:37

built up a massive factory and she was producing these wares which were

0:13:370:13:41

glazed and then decorated over the glaze with enamels,

0:13:410:13:43

-which is why these things wear off.

-Quite honest, isn't it...

0:13:430:13:46

Depending on the price, it's got the right name,

0:13:460:13:49

it's nice condition and it's fashionable.

0:13:490:13:50

I don't rate Clarice Cliff very much, so 25 quid.

0:13:500:13:53

-OK.

-So with all the items you've seen, you've said no to the rulers.

0:13:530:13:57

-Too expensive.

-OK.

0:13:570:13:59

-The Arctic hare.

-That's my favourite.

0:13:590:14:01

OK, so that's a yes on that one.

0:14:010:14:02

If we were to buy a couple of pieces,

0:14:020:14:04

-would you give us a slight adjustment?

-Yeah.

0:14:040:14:06

Right, OK. So that's a yes on the hare.

0:14:060:14:08

Clarice at 20...

0:14:080:14:10

-15 quid.

-15 quid for Clarice?

0:14:100:14:12

You've given the hare so I'll give you a little bit of mileage.

0:14:120:14:16

OK, so 95, 15, that's two objects bought.

0:14:160:14:19

-Do you want to go for those two?

-Yes.

0:14:190:14:21

Ooh! You break it, you buy it, Mum!

0:14:210:14:24

-OK.

-OK, I am happy with that.

0:14:240:14:27

Mum, I just think, you know what, it's just beautiful.

0:14:270:14:30

The big thing for me is, I love this.

0:14:300:14:33

If you buy that now, you've got all three objects in one stall.

0:14:330:14:36

I've never done it before!

0:14:360:14:37

I'd be very happy to go and have a cup of tea!

0:14:370:14:39

I'd like to say it's got nothing to do with the weather.

0:14:390:14:42

Can we... Did you hear what Jonathan just offered?

0:14:420:14:45

So that we would buy all three items,

0:14:450:14:48

but then we would have to come down on that price.

0:14:480:14:51

130 for the lot.

0:14:510:14:52

'This is an interesting tactic, Blues.

0:14:520:14:54

'You're buying in bulk.'

0:14:540:14:56

Just to summarise then, he's suggesting £20 for that,

0:14:560:15:00

15 for that, 95 for that.

0:15:000:15:02

In total that's £130.

0:15:020:15:05

Unless... We just go really crazy and ditch the Clarice...

0:15:050:15:10

No, all right. It's time for a cup of tea. Everybody's cold.

0:15:100:15:12

-Are you going to go for all three?

-All three.

0:15:120:15:14

£130, all of them.

0:15:140:15:16

Yes. It's sort of speaking to me but of course it might be all wrong,

0:15:160:15:20

-you know.

-Well done, ladies, thank you very much.

0:15:200:15:23

-Let's dash out of the rain and find something to do.

-All right.

0:15:230:15:26

This must be a Bargain Hunt record!

0:15:260:15:29

Three in one go.

0:15:290:15:31

But no rest for you, Reds.

0:15:310:15:33

You still have two items to find in 20 minutes.

0:15:330:15:36

I quite like the cocktail sticks with the little lion.

0:15:380:15:41

-Is it silver?

-Yes, it is silver.

0:15:420:15:44

What price have you got on that?

0:15:460:15:47

£50.

0:15:470:15:48

Let's have a look.

0:15:480:15:50

-Yes.

-Well, you're the expert.

0:15:500:15:52

-Let's have a look.

-You're the expert.

0:15:520:15:54

There isn't a date on it, is there?

0:15:540:15:55

Well, I mean, you know, it's quite sweet, really.

0:15:550:15:58

All said and done, cocktail bars and cocktail,

0:15:580:16:01

it's very in vogue at the minute.

0:16:010:16:03

It's nothing specialised, you can see it's just a plain little cup.

0:16:030:16:07

925 on it, it just says it's sterling silver.

0:16:070:16:10

It hasn't really got any great age behind it, because it's not dated,

0:16:100:16:13

but with something probably as simple as simple as this,

0:16:130:16:16

we've got to really be talking about...

0:16:160:16:18

What do you think it's worth?

0:16:180:16:19

In auction, I think that's probably worth between 30 to £50.

0:16:190:16:23

That's an honest opinion.

0:16:230:16:25

And if we were paying 50, that's the top end?

0:16:250:16:27

It doesn't really leave us a lot, no, to make a profit.

0:16:270:16:30

I mean, is that the absolute death? I mean...

0:16:300:16:33

-I can...

-I do feel that is at the top end.

0:16:330:16:37

What are you wanting to pay, then?

0:16:370:16:39

I think I'd be quite happy to pay...

0:16:390:16:41

-40.

-Maybe even...

-35.

0:16:410:16:43

35.

0:16:450:16:46

It sounds like that's what you're going to be happy with!

0:16:460:16:48

OK, Moira. I think we'd probably be happy roundabout the 35 mark.

0:16:480:16:52

-Could you stretch to that?

-Yeah, I can do it for 35.

0:16:520:16:55

-God bless you. Thank you very much.

-There you go, mother's decided.

0:16:550:16:59

She hasn't even asked you yet!

0:16:590:17:01

I know. No, that's absolutely fine.

0:17:010:17:03

Oh, Danny.

0:17:060:17:07

-You've done great.

-It's hard work.

0:17:070:17:09

That's two items in the bag and one more to find but first,

0:17:100:17:14

let's take a break.

0:17:140:17:15

I've got a couple of fascinating local objects I want to show you.

0:17:150:17:19

We're ensconced here in the beautiful Derbyshire countryside,

0:17:280:17:31

but we shouldn't forget that just down the road is the city of Derby,

0:17:310:17:35

and for well over 300 years

0:17:350:17:37

it's been in the forefront of the Industrial Revolution

0:17:370:17:40

and so much more when it comes to manufacturing.

0:17:400:17:44

And Daniel Martin, you are the curator of making at the museum here

0:17:440:17:48

in Derby. So just give me a little bit of an explanation

0:17:480:17:51

about what your job takes into account.

0:17:510:17:55

The reason it's the curator of making is because that's all about what Derby is about.

0:17:550:17:59

We've got these great objects in front of us here that represent some of the great industries in the city.

0:17:590:18:04

And we're really proud of it.

0:18:040:18:05

The one that catches my eye is obviously the most colourful one.

0:18:050:18:08

I'm just intrigued by this. What am I looking at here?

0:18:080:18:11

What you have here is a beautiful silver tobacco box

0:18:110:18:14

with this rich enamel portrait of the colour works.

0:18:140:18:17

Now, this colour works would've produced metal oxides,

0:18:170:18:20

jeweller's rouge, which then could have been used in the enamels industry, in silk working,

0:18:200:18:24

but what I really love is how this encapsulates all of that

0:18:240:18:27

in one tiny, beautiful object.

0:18:270:18:28

It's interesting to think industrial scenes don't normally feature

0:18:280:18:32

on a presentation box like this.

0:18:320:18:34

-Not at all, but you do find it on Royal Crown Derby and on other derby porcelains.

-Very true.

0:18:340:18:38

OK, well, I like that a lot,

0:18:380:18:40

but no prizes for guessing what we're looking at here.

0:18:400:18:43

I mean, it looks like a state of the art, modern-day train.

0:18:430:18:49

Which you would be forgiven for thinking that it was.

0:18:490:18:51

But it's actually an 80-year-old wind tunnel model.

0:18:510:18:54

From the London Midland Scotland Railway's research department.

0:18:540:18:57

So although you look like you've got this odd selection of sort of

0:18:570:19:00

snail heads here at the front, each of these is actually

0:19:000:19:02

an interchangeable head. Brass backed,

0:19:020:19:04

which just slides onto the end of the model,

0:19:040:19:07

ready for your next piece of wind tunnel testing.

0:19:070:19:09

Now, when you say "wind tunnel", just explain.

0:19:090:19:11

Well, we're fortunate enough at Derby museums to actually have

0:19:110:19:14

the tunnel that this model would have sat inside,

0:19:140:19:16

at which point a fan would have blown air at it,

0:19:160:19:18

a little bit of pigment in there, you would have filmed that,

0:19:180:19:20

to see then how aerodynamic each of these different heads would have

0:19:200:19:24

been on the train. So you can see, in that golden age,

0:19:240:19:26

that era of Art Deco, you tend to get those fine shapely lines

0:19:260:19:30

that would come to dominate 1930s train building.

0:19:300:19:32

Nice thing. So that represents the important role that Derby has played

0:19:320:19:36

-in the railway.

-Absolutely.

0:19:360:19:38

Centre of the railway network and it has always been a railway town.

0:19:380:19:40

So you'll have to come down and have a look.

0:19:400:19:42

I'd be delighted.

0:19:420:19:44

And having a look at this model, I think I'm going to come by train.

0:19:440:19:47

I'm going to make sure that before I set foot on it,

0:19:470:19:50

that that train was made in Derby.

0:19:500:19:52

-Sounds like a great plan. Look forward to having you.

-Thank you.

0:19:520:19:55

Back to the shopping. There are eight minutes left,

0:19:550:19:57

and while the Blues have nailed all three items,

0:19:570:20:00

the Reds have one more to go.

0:20:000:20:02

And it looks like they found something from a local business.

0:20:020:20:06

It's always nice to get something that's got a bit of locality on it.

0:20:060:20:09

We're going to Derbyshire to the auction.

0:20:090:20:12

-Wooden.

-It's Burton-on-Trent, yeah.

0:20:120:20:14

-What would they use that for?

-Nowadays they use that for anything.

0:20:140:20:17

Storage, they can use it as a side table,

0:20:170:20:19

they can use it to put magazines in.

0:20:190:20:20

What's the price?

0:20:200:20:22

-65.

-And the clock is ticking.

0:20:220:20:25

Could you do anything on that at all?

0:20:250:20:27

I can go to 55 on it.

0:20:270:20:28

-No.

-Too dear.

0:20:280:20:31

Not convinced, eh, Reds? Well, move on. Now, hang on...

0:20:310:20:34

What are the Blues up to?

0:20:340:20:36

Can I just say that I love what we've bought,

0:20:360:20:39

whatever you're going to show me, I'm happy with what I've got.

0:20:390:20:43

OK, so this, I just think is the loveliest thing.

0:20:430:20:46

Lantern slide makers.

0:20:460:20:47

I'd have this in my kitchen or in the living room.

0:20:470:20:51

-Well, it's too late, isn't it?

-But there's the expert buy.

0:20:510:20:54

That's you told, Jonathan.

0:20:550:20:57

So while the Blues put their feet up, with three minutes on the clock,

0:20:570:21:00

you Reds had better put your foot down.

0:21:000:21:02

-I like these.

-You like these, don't you?

0:21:040:21:06

I seen you look these earlier.

0:21:060:21:08

Which one are we talking about? This vellum one?

0:21:080:21:11

It's quite nice, this one.

0:21:110:21:12

I think there's so much of the brown ones that, you know,

0:21:130:21:17

it's nice to have something a little bit of a different colour.

0:21:170:21:20

This is a lovely suitcase, this is.

0:21:200:21:22

Vellum, they call it.

0:21:220:21:23

About 1940s, 1950s.

0:21:230:21:26

It's in relatively good condition as well.

0:21:260:21:28

Well, I like that one but I also like that third one.

0:21:280:21:31

That third one is quite nice, isn't it?

0:21:310:21:33

It's nice, a different grain and everything on it.

0:21:330:21:36

And I like that.

0:21:360:21:37

Out of the two, what do you think?

0:21:370:21:39

Well, out of the two I think really this light-coloured one

0:21:390:21:43

is probably a little bit more saleable.

0:21:430:21:46

And it's nice and clean inside.

0:21:460:21:48

I've seen that at the bottom corner, it's split.

0:21:480:21:51

Not really a problem, though.

0:21:510:21:53

And I don't really know whether we've quite a lot of time to go elsewhere.

0:21:530:21:57

That's the thing. I think although there is a bit of damage at the back,

0:21:570:22:00

there's a chance we could even get a little bit of profit.

0:22:000:22:02

We're quite interested in this.

0:22:020:22:05

We like your suitcase, it's got 45 on it.

0:22:050:22:07

What's the best you can do for us?

0:22:070:22:10

25. That gives you a good chance. Gives you fighting chance.

0:22:100:22:13

I'm happy with that.

0:22:130:22:14

-It's a deal.

-No problem.

-Thank you very much.

0:22:140:22:16

Bless you. Thank you.

0:22:160:22:17

Time's up. That's three items bought, we're all done.

0:22:200:22:23

-Come on!

-Well done.

-Well done all of us.

0:22:230:22:25

Let's remind ourselves what the Red team have bought today.

0:22:270:22:30

There's the Treen thimble holder. They paid £20.

0:22:300:22:35

Will the cocktail sticks shake up the auction? Price paid, £35.

0:22:360:22:41

And will the early 20th-century suitcase take off?

0:22:430:22:47

They bought it for £25.

0:22:470:22:49

Down to the wire.

0:22:490:22:50

THEY LAUGH

0:22:500:22:51

Yes. Only because of the rain.

0:22:510:22:53

OK, all right.

0:22:530:22:55

Well, fair enough. We'll offer you that because we've been in monsoon

0:22:550:22:58

territory today. But of the items that you bought today - favourite,

0:22:580:23:02

-Moira?

-I think the silver cocktail sticks.

0:23:020:23:05

-The silver cocktail sticks.

-I liked that.

-Do you agree?

0:23:050:23:08

I like the thimble holder. The Mauchline ware.

0:23:080:23:10

Well, of the three items that you did buy today,

0:23:100:23:14

come on, tell me which you think is going to make the biggest profit?

0:23:140:23:18

I hope the Mauchline ware.

0:23:180:23:20

You hope the Mauchline ware, OK.

0:23:200:23:22

I think the Mauchline ware as well.

0:23:220:23:23

I think we got it for a good price and it's nice.

0:23:230:23:26

And you got some pretty sound advice from my colleague there.

0:23:260:23:28

-He's been lovely.

-Has he?

0:23:280:23:30

He's a lovely lad.

0:23:300:23:31

THEY LAUGH

0:23:310:23:34

I'd take him home with me!

0:23:340:23:35

THEY LAUGH

0:23:350:23:37

Well, you didn't quite spend £100, did you?

0:23:370:23:40

-No.

-Tell me exactly how much you did spend.

0:23:400:23:42

-80.

-80.

0:23:420:23:44

So pass me the money, honey.

0:23:440:23:46

-Thank you.

-So you've just given me £220.

0:23:460:23:50

It doesn't stay in my hand for very long,

0:23:500:23:52

because it's going over to Danny.

0:23:520:23:54

-Thank you.

-So what are you going to spend the money on, Danny?

0:23:540:23:56

I'm not quite sure what I'll spend the money on,

0:23:560:23:58

but I'm going to have a good look. I'm going to try my best.

0:23:580:24:01

OK, Danny. You go off and you do your best.

0:24:010:24:03

Meanwhile, let's remind ourselves

0:24:030:24:05

what the Blue team have bought today.

0:24:050:24:07

They spent £95 on a studio pottery hare.

0:24:080:24:12

Will the yardstick measure up at the auction? Cost, £25.

0:24:140:24:18

And they paid £15 for an antique classic. A Clarice Cliff pot.

0:24:190:24:26

Well, I thought you two coped very well shopping in a monsoon.

0:24:260:24:30

Yes, it was quite unexpected.

0:24:300:24:32

Well, it was also unexpected, from my point of view,

0:24:320:24:35

to see you buy three objects from the same people.

0:24:350:24:38

Jonathan, you did show them other sites?

0:24:380:24:42

I think we had a moment before the heavens came down and that

0:24:420:24:44

was about it.

0:24:440:24:46

-I'm intrigued to know your favourite.

-I think it's the hare.

0:24:460:24:50

And what about yourself, Rebecca?

0:24:500:24:51

It's that ruler. Used for making curtains.

0:24:510:24:54

OK, Mellie, what about the one that's going to make the most money?

0:24:540:24:57

I think we're still with the hare.

0:24:570:24:58

Still with the hare.

0:24:580:25:00

Yeah, I think the hare, we'd make the most and we'd also lose the most on that depending on how it goes.

0:25:000:25:04

And the other two are a little more balanced.

0:25:040:25:07

OK. So, by my reckoning you spent a hundred and...?

0:25:070:25:09

-30.

-£130, which means that one of you's got £170 to give to me.

0:25:090:25:15

OK.

0:25:150:25:17

Jonathan, you can do quite a bit with £170, can't you?

0:25:170:25:20

-Yeah. That's a healthy amount of money.

-Any ideas how that money is going to be spent?

0:25:200:25:24

Having only spent a short while in one stand,

0:25:240:25:27

I have still a fair idea what they like and I know exactly what to buy.

0:25:270:25:30

Excellent. Well, while you go off and spend that money wisely,

0:25:300:25:33

we're going off to the auction.

0:25:330:25:35

Well, we are on the outskirts of Derby.

0:25:450:25:47

We are at Hanson's auction house and the man himself, yes,

0:25:470:25:51

-Charles Hanson...

-Good to see you.

0:25:510:25:53

-..is gracing us with his favour today.

-Good to see you.

0:25:530:25:55

And you too. Our first team is the Red team. It's Moira and Julia.

0:25:550:25:58

-Yes.

-Their first item is a Mauchline egg.

0:25:580:26:01

-Yes.

-What's the Mauchline egg market like in south Derbyshire?

0:26:010:26:04

The treen market is strong.

0:26:040:26:05

The print on there is clean,

0:26:050:26:07

and it is probably a period example from circa 1900.

0:26:070:26:11

You can't really criticise it.

0:26:110:26:12

You can't criticise it, but you can value it.

0:26:120:26:14

-What do you estimate it at?

-Indeed. I'm always a cautious one, Eric,

0:26:140:26:17

and I've gone in between 20 and £30.

0:26:170:26:18

Well, they'll be very happy with that because they paid £20 for it.

0:26:180:26:22

-Good, good.

-So moving on to the second item,

0:26:220:26:24

which is the cocktail stick retainer with seven cocktail sticks.

0:26:240:26:28

Yes. I think it's a neat object.

0:26:280:26:30

What I like is the actual container it's in.

0:26:300:26:32

It is marked 925 and the silver market is good.

0:26:320:26:35

And if you enjoy cocktail sticks, that's a nice container

0:26:350:26:39

-and the sticks are into bad either.

-OK.

0:26:390:26:41

So, estimate?

0:26:410:26:42

Between 30 and £40. It might just make 50.

0:26:420:26:45

Well, they're going to be relatively happy with that,

0:26:450:26:48

because they paid £35 for it.

0:26:480:26:49

-Good, good.

-Item number three...

-Yes.

0:26:490:26:52

..is an early 20th-century vellum case.

0:26:520:26:56

Obviously, it's a suitcase, isn't it?

0:26:560:26:57

But it goes without saying, it's got the initials M.T.,

0:26:570:27:00

so if your name is Michael Todd, that's your suitcase.

0:27:000:27:02

-Is it your style?

-No, it's not my style.

-I think it's my style.

0:27:020:27:05

It would match your jacket a treat, actually.

0:27:050:27:07

-You were made for one another.

-Thank you.

-So what's the estimate on this?

0:27:070:27:10

Between 20 and £30.

0:27:100:27:12

Well, that's interesting because they paid between 20 and £30.

0:27:120:27:15

They paid £25 for it.

0:27:150:27:16

-Mid-estimate.

-So they might need their bonus buy,

0:27:160:27:19

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

0:27:190:27:20

Well, Red team, Moira and Julia.

0:27:220:27:24

I need know that the excitement factor

0:27:240:27:26

is really kicking in now for you.

0:27:260:27:28

Absolutely. Can't wait to see what he has got us.

0:27:280:27:30

Well, it is bonus buy time.

0:27:300:27:32

You actually, I've got to say, were pretty mean spenders.

0:27:320:27:35

£80.

0:27:350:27:37

Now, you know, that's being careful, isn't it?

0:27:370:27:39

-That's being a Scot.

-Well, maybe, maybe, but let's not go there.

0:27:390:27:43

What it did mean is that Danny here had £220 of your money

0:27:430:27:47

to go and play with. So, Danny, reveal your bonus buy.

0:27:470:27:50

-Oh, that's nice.

-I like that.

-You like that, don't you?

0:27:520:27:55

Well, I thought I'd get something special for two special ladies.

0:27:550:27:58

And this is really nice.

0:27:580:28:00

It's an arts and crafts standish with a blotter in the centre

0:28:000:28:03

and also two ink wells on the side.

0:28:030:28:06

I think it's in great condition for what it is.

0:28:060:28:09

Arts and crafts, turn-of-the-century, early 20th century.

0:28:090:28:12

I think this is going to fly at the auction.

0:28:120:28:15

-Have a feel of it. It's quite tactile.

-It's heavy as well.

0:28:150:28:18

-Oh, that's lovely.

-Yeah.

0:28:190:28:21

And how much did you pay for it, Danny.

0:28:210:28:22

-£40.

-Oh!

0:28:220:28:24

-That was good.

-And I think that's a bit of a steal.

0:28:240:28:26

And I think anybody who likes arts and crafts,

0:28:260:28:28

they're going to go for this piece.

0:28:280:28:30

Well, let's now find out if Charles thinks Danny's inkwell

0:28:300:28:34

is also a bit of a steal.

0:28:340:28:36

So, here is Danny's bonus buy.

0:28:370:28:39

An arts and crafts copper inkstand.

0:28:390:28:42

-Yes.

-What do you think?

-I really like it, Eric,

0:28:420:28:44

because it's what we call German jugendstil.

0:28:440:28:47

Which essentially is a German variant of the art nouveau,

0:28:470:28:50

and it would date to around 1905.

0:28:500:28:52

I quite rate it.

0:28:520:28:53

So you rate it how much?

0:28:530:28:55

Between 60 and £80.

0:28:550:28:57

Well, Danny went out and paid £40 for it.

0:28:570:29:01

That's very good value.

0:29:010:29:02

It looks like the boy might have done well there.

0:29:020:29:04

-He's done very well.

-But we're only going to be able to compliment him

0:29:040:29:07

when the hammer comes down.

0:29:070:29:09

-That's it.

-Let's move on to the Blue team.

0:29:090:29:12

Rebecca and Mellie.

0:29:120:29:14

-Yes.

-And the first item is that rather handsome looking hare.

0:29:140:29:17

Jenny Winstanley is the designer cum studio potter...

0:29:170:29:22

-Yes.

-..who made this.

0:29:220:29:24

She was also renowned for cats and other various animals.

0:29:240:29:28

And I think it's something which will only grow in value.

0:29:280:29:31

I'm not quite sure what decade it's from.

0:29:310:29:32

-'80s?

-I think '70s, '80s.

0:29:320:29:35

To me, it's an emerging market.

0:29:350:29:37

Whether it's come out too quick into the wholesale market,

0:29:370:29:40

-we'll wait and see.

-OK. What's your estimate, Charlie?

0:29:400:29:43

Well, we put a guide price on it of between 40 and £60.

0:29:430:29:46

Yeah, they pushed the boat out on that.

0:29:460:29:48

They paid £95 for it.

0:29:480:29:51

-But there are a lot of Winstanley collectors out there.

-Oh, there are.

0:29:510:29:54

Our item number two is the yardstick you see there.

0:29:540:29:58

It's certainly a quality object.

0:29:580:30:00

Yes, it is. Really, Eric,

0:30:000:30:01

I'm quite happy it probably goes back to the 1920s, '30s.

0:30:010:30:05

I love these brass tips.

0:30:050:30:07

And estimate?

0:30:070:30:09

Well, I've put a guide price on of between 20 and £30.

0:30:090:30:12

They'll be happy because they went and paid the princely sum of £20

0:30:120:30:16

for it. Good. Item number three. Now, they've gone Clarice.

0:30:160:30:19

Yeah, they have. This is a sweet little bizarre jar.

0:30:190:30:22

It'll date to around 1928.

0:30:220:30:25

And if you're a collector,

0:30:250:30:26

and you want something within budget this is a nice piece, I think,

0:30:260:30:30

-to acquire.

-Your estimate is?

0:30:300:30:32

I've gone in quite strong. I'm a bit nervous now,

0:30:320:30:34

because there is some enamel losses but I've gone in with a guide price

0:30:340:30:38

of £80 to £120.

0:30:380:30:40

They'll be very pleased with that because Mellie spotted that pot,

0:30:400:30:43

and they paid the sum of £15 for it.

0:30:430:30:46

£15? One-five?

0:30:460:30:48

-Yeah.

-That's very cheap.

0:30:480:30:49

But there again, they might still need their bonus buy,

0:30:490:30:52

so let's take a look at it.

0:30:520:30:54

It is bonus buy time.

0:30:540:30:56

You went out and you spent £130,

0:30:560:30:58

which meant that I could give Jonathan here £170

0:30:580:31:03

to go and buy his bonus buy.

0:31:030:31:05

So Jonathan, would you like to reveal all?

0:31:050:31:08

-Neat trick.

-Is there something in there?

0:31:110:31:13

It's a little Vesta case.

0:31:130:31:15

It's hallmarked for late 19th century, Birmingham, 1889.

0:31:150:31:20

By a wonderful firm called Saunders and Shepherd,

0:31:200:31:22

who are quite collectable.

0:31:220:31:23

But it also benefits because it's got this thing here.

0:31:230:31:26

And it is a little cheroot cutter.

0:31:260:31:28

-Cheroot is like a tiny cigar.

-Oh, right.

-OK.

0:31:280:31:31

If you can't afford the big Cohiba.

0:31:310:31:34

-OK.

-Just a nice little object worn on a watch chain.

0:31:340:31:37

Yeah. Can we have a look?

0:31:370:31:38

-You can have a look.

-The initials, do you think that's a person?

0:31:380:31:41

-That'll be the person who owned it, yes.

-OK. I love it, yes.

0:31:410:31:45

Honestly, anything silver I think is great anyway.

0:31:450:31:47

Is there any more information you need to know before you...

0:31:470:31:50

-How much did I pay for it?

-Oh, yes!

0:31:500:31:52

LAUGHTER

0:31:520:31:54

After everything we've been doing together, I would have thought that would be at the front of your mind.

0:31:540:31:58

I know, it all goes out of the window as soon as I sort of...

0:31:580:32:00

-as soon as the emotion started.

-The emotion, because you really like it, and I thought you would.

0:32:000:32:05

I paid £75.

0:32:050:32:07

-Wow. That's...

-Are you happy with that?

0:32:070:32:10

I am happy with that. I think it's worth £80, £90.

0:32:100:32:12

-That's what I think.

-I love it.

0:32:120:32:14

Well, you girls seem very convinced about this.

0:32:140:32:17

Let's go and find out if Charles feels the same.

0:32:170:32:20

Right, well, here is Jonathan's bonus buy.

0:32:210:32:24

What do you think of that, Charles?

0:32:240:32:25

Normally we see the Vesta case as it is now.

0:32:250:32:29

But it's also, and I haven't seen this action before,

0:32:290:32:31

with a cigar cutter on the side as well.

0:32:310:32:34

That's two of us. I've not seen it before.

0:32:340:32:36

Really? It oozes Victorian grandeur.

0:32:360:32:38

What sort of an estimate does it ooze?

0:32:380:32:40

Well I think it oozes rarity.

0:32:400:32:42

-How much money? Come on.

-£80 to £120.

0:32:420:32:45

Oh, right. Well, you're both singing from the same hymn sheet because

0:32:450:32:49

Jonathan paid £75 for that.

0:32:490:32:52

I think he's done very well.

0:32:520:32:53

OK.

0:32:530:32:54

So, time for the auction and today Charles has handed the gavel

0:32:540:32:58

to colleague Isabel Balmer.

0:32:580:33:00

Selling... Sold.

0:33:000:33:01

Moira and Julia, this is real, yes?

0:33:010:33:05

-How are we?

-Excited.

0:33:050:33:07

Good. That's what we want to hear. Have you been to an auction before?

0:33:070:33:10

-Once.

-Once.

0:33:100:33:11

-OK.

-I haven't. I've never been before,

0:33:110:33:13

so I'm looking forward to it.

0:33:130:33:14

Your first lot is just about to come up.

0:33:140:33:16

It's the little Mauchline ware piece. This is us.

0:33:160:33:19

It's the egg-shaped cotton thimble holder.

0:33:190:33:21

Start me at £10 for it.

0:33:210:33:23

£10 is bid straight in on the internet.

0:33:230:33:25

Do I see 12 now?

0:33:250:33:27

I've got 12 and 15, I'll come back to you, sir.

0:33:270:33:29

The internet is going. £15, we're up to.

0:33:290:33:31

Would you like 18?

0:33:310:33:33

18 is bid in the room. Looking for 20 now.

0:33:330:33:35

£18 and it's against you on the internet now.

0:33:350:33:37

20, new place. 22, sir.

0:33:370:33:39

25, 28. And 30 and two.

0:33:390:33:43

Looking for two. 32 on the internet. Competition now, madam.

0:33:430:33:46

35. 32 is bid on the internet.

0:33:460:33:49

Looking for five now. At £32, then, here on the internet.

0:33:490:33:52

All done at £32.

0:33:520:33:55

Yes!

0:33:550:33:56

That's a good start, positive start.

0:33:560:33:59

You paid 20 and you just sold it for 32. £12 start.

0:33:590:34:02

The next item is the seven white metal cocktail sticks.

0:34:020:34:06

With the ball finials.

0:34:060:34:07

Fabulous lot, this one.

0:34:070:34:08

Where shall we start the bidding?

0:34:080:34:10

How about £15? £15 to start.

0:34:100:34:13

Bid me 15. 15, 18, 20 and two.

0:34:130:34:16

-25, 28.

-There is a lot of interest.

-28.

0:34:160:34:19

£30 at the back of the room is bid and I am asking two.

0:34:190:34:22

32 is bid on the internet.

0:34:220:34:24

35, sir.

0:34:240:34:25

I've got you. £35 is bid.

0:34:250:34:28

Asking 38 now, internet. 38, 40, sir.

0:34:280:34:31

Yes! We are in profit.

0:34:310:34:32

Asking five. 45, 50, sir?

0:34:320:34:34

Would 48 help?

0:34:340:34:35

£48 is bid, asking 50 now.

0:34:370:34:40

£48 at the back of the room.

0:34:400:34:41

Your turn now, Internet, bid me 50.

0:34:410:34:43

Are you all sure? 50 on the internet.

0:34:430:34:45

55, sir?

0:34:450:34:47

Thank you, anyway. £50 Internet bid.

0:34:470:34:49

Looking for five. All done, all sure, Internet secures it.

0:34:490:34:53

Selling, fair warning.

0:34:530:34:54

Sold at 50.

0:34:540:34:56

And so plus 50, we're on a roll here.

0:34:560:34:59

We're on plus 27.

0:34:590:35:02

OK. So we're moving in the right direction

0:35:020:35:04

and the next lot is the suitcase.

0:35:040:35:06

We have our 20th-century vellum suitcase,

0:35:060:35:09

and I have interest on commission, starts me straight in at £15.

0:35:090:35:15

I will take 18.

0:35:150:35:16

With me at £15 on commission, asking £18.

0:35:160:35:20

Come on, have a bid. It's at £15.

0:35:200:35:22

Who would like 18 now?

0:35:220:35:23

18 is bid. I have got £20.

0:35:230:35:26

Take me out for two, madam.

0:35:260:35:28

22 is bid. I'm out. Asking five now.

0:35:280:35:30

£22 is bid in the room.

0:35:300:35:32

Have we got five? Hammer's raised, coming down, selling.

0:35:320:35:36

Oh!

0:35:360:35:37

22, you paid 25 for it.

0:35:370:35:40

Minus three.

0:35:400:35:42

So you are plus 24. Plus 24.

0:35:420:35:45

The question is, are you going to go with your bonus buy?

We have our Arts and Crafts copper rectangular Standish.

Fair warning. Congratulations, sir. Selling... Sold.

0:36:390:36:43

-Well done!

0:36:430:36:46

Well, listen, you bought it for 40, sold it for 55.

0:36:460:36:49

£15 of extra profit, you were already plus 24 so, by my maths,

0:36:490:36:55

you are now plus £39.

0:36:550:36:57

-Well done, Danny.

-Well done you two as well.

-Nope.

0:37:060:37:08

Zip them. OK.

0:37:080:37:10

On the internet, selling... Sold.

0:37:120:37:14

Mellie and Rebecca, are you regulars in the auction world?

0:37:190:37:23

No!

0:37:230:37:25

We've been here before.

0:37:250:37:26

-This is not too far.

-But not regular.

0:37:260:37:28

Well, your first item is your model

0:37:280:37:30

of the hare which is by a potter called Winstanley.

0:37:300:37:33

But probably better known for cats. Here it is.

0:37:330:37:35

We have this fabulous hare, studio pottery.

0:37:350:37:39

And I have phone lines on this one.

0:37:390:37:42

One and two.

0:37:420:37:44

Phone lines are lining up and I have interest on commission.

0:38:080:38:10

0:38:100:38:13

0:38:130:38:16

The hare's running away!

0:38:160:38:17

'Gentleman's bid. I've got a bit of a triangle going on.'

0:38:170:38:20

It's at £140. I will take 150.

0:38:200:38:23

At £140 here.

0:38:230:38:24

£140 for our friendly hare.

0:38:240:38:27

All done, all sure, selling, hopping at 140.

0:38:270:38:30

140, OK.

0:38:300:38:32

Bearing in mind you paid 95, already very good.

0:38:320:38:37

£45 ahead.

0:38:370:38:39

That's the one I thought we'd find the hardest.

0:38:390:38:41

OK. Next lot coming up. It's the mahogany yardstick.

Early 20th century and start me at 10.

0:38:430:38:47

£10, £10. 10 on the net is bid.

0:38:470:38:49

Who would like to bid 12?

0:38:490:38:50

Looking for 12. Come on. Asking 12.

0:38:500:38:53

You never know when you might need one of these.

0:38:530:38:54

"I wish I had bid on that yardstick!"

0:38:540:38:56

12 is bid in the room, thank you, sir.

0:38:560:38:58

15, 18, sir.

0:38:580:38:59

18 is bid. 20 bid.

0:38:590:39:01

0:39:060:39:08

At £22. Fair warning.

0:39:080:39:10

I sell today, selling, sold.

0:39:100:39:12

22.

0:39:120:39:14

And it's two pounds worth of profit.

0:39:140:39:16

It's taken you up to plus 47.

0:39:160:39:19

So we now move on to your Clarice Cliff Bizarre pot.

0:39:190:39:22

A Clarice Cliff, the Bizarre pot.

0:39:220:39:25

And what shall we say on this one?

0:39:250:39:28

Start me at £40 for it.

0:39:280:39:30

£40, £40 for the Clarice.

0:39:300:39:32

0:39:320:39:35

£40, bid two, bid two.

0:39:350:39:37

0:39:390:39:42

0:39:420:39:43

0:39:430:39:45

I've got you. 55 is bid. Asking 60. 55 is bid.

0:39:450:39:49

Who would like it for 60?

0:39:490:39:51

It is a fabulous, beautiful Bizarre pot, this one.

0:39:510:39:53

Fair warning at £55.

0:39:530:39:56

Sold.

0:39:560:39:57

Well done.

0:39:570:39:58

£55, that's going to give you an extra £40,

0:39:580:40:01

which is taking you to a positive of plus £87.

0:40:010:40:05

So what I need to know is, are we going to go for the bonus lot?

0:40:050:40:09

-We're going to go for it. Of course.

-It would be rude not to.

-Would it?

0:40:090:40:13

-Gosh, OK. Come on. You've done so well so far. Come on.

-Here it is.

0:40:130:40:16

It's our Victorian silver Vesta case.

0:40:160:40:19

Combined with a cigar cutter.

0:40:190:40:21

Start me at £60.

0:40:210:40:23

60 is bid straight in.

0:40:230:40:25

On the internet. Have we got five now?

0:40:250:40:27

£60, looking for five.

0:40:270:40:28

Come on. Bid five. It's worth another bid.

0:40:280:40:31

£60, 65, where is 70 now?

0:40:310:40:34

Come on, Internet, have another bid.

0:40:340:40:35

Don't be that one bid person.

0:40:350:40:37

Bid another. At £65, are we sure?

0:40:370:40:40

Don't go away today without buying anything.

0:40:400:40:42

Bid me 70. At £65, all sure, all done.

0:40:420:40:45

Fair warning at £65. Sold.

0:40:450:40:48

OK. Sorry.

0:40:480:40:50

OK.

0:40:500:40:52

We want to go down with taste.

0:40:520:40:55

Not a disaster. You are just minus £10 on that.

0:40:550:40:58

OK. That's taking you to a positive of plus 77.

0:40:580:41:03

But a bit of a bonus coming your way,

0:41:030:41:05

because you made a profit on all three items,

0:41:050:41:07

which means you're going to get a golden gavel.

0:41:070:41:09

Fantastic.

0:41:090:41:11

Having said that, remember, not a word to the Reds.

0:41:110:41:15

-No.

-Keep it schtum.

0:41:150:41:17

215, 220...

0:41:170:41:19

Well, there's good news all round today.

0:41:250:41:28

Because you're both in the money.

0:41:280:41:30

So you can take some solace,

0:41:300:41:33

but as you know on this programme we do have a winner,

0:41:330:41:35

and we do have a runner-up.

0:41:350:41:38

And today's runner-up is...

0:41:380:41:40

the Red team.

0:41:400:41:41

Yes!

0:41:410:41:43

You played a good game!

0:41:430:41:45

You really did.

0:41:450:41:46

And it was all pretty solid, all the way through, wasn't it?

0:41:460:41:49

But you ended up with a plus £39, OK?

0:41:490:41:53

So here it is.

0:41:530:41:54

It's real money and it is yours to keep and spend wisely.

0:41:540:41:58

OK. Well, thank you. And you've enjoyed yourselves, yeah?

0:41:580:42:01

-Definitely.

-We've had a great day.

-You were all good fun.

0:42:010:42:03

Well done, Danny.

0:42:030:42:05

So turning to the triumphant Blues.

0:42:050:42:08

What do we say about you?

0:42:080:42:09

I mean, this as a game is all about the hare and the tortoise.

0:42:090:42:15

And today, you backed the hare, didn't you?

0:42:150:42:18

Your instincts were good on that.

0:42:180:42:20

So when it came down to the money,

0:42:200:42:22

you did quite handsomely in achieving a profit of £77.

0:42:220:42:27

-Thank you.

-So let me give you that.

0:42:270:42:30

But more than that, ladies, you achieved three profits in a row,

0:42:300:42:36

which has earned you a golden gavel.

0:42:360:42:40

-OK, now, wear this with pride.

-Thank you very much.

0:42:400:42:42

Be careful how you do wear it.

0:42:420:42:44

It's quite a sharp prong.

0:42:440:42:46

So have we had a jolly time of it?

0:42:460:42:48

-Awesome.

-Awesome. I love it.

0:42:480:42:50

Well, we hope that you people at home

0:42:500:42:52

have had an awesome time as well.
