Today's fair is in Cornwall and for centuries,

0:00:030:00:06

a fierce battle has raged in this part of the world.

0:00:060:00:09

It's all about who invented the cream tea.

0:00:110:00:14

Was it Devon or was it Cornwall?

0:00:140:00:16

Should they be using a scone,

0:00:160:00:18

or should they be using a Cornish split?

0:00:180:00:20

Should they put the jam on top of the cream

0:00:200:00:23

or should they put the cream on top of the jam?

0:00:230:00:26

I need to investigate this a little bit further.

0:00:260:00:29

Oh, thank you. Meanwhile, let today's battle commence.

0:00:290:00:32

Let's go bargain hunting.

0:00:320:00:35

Well, after eating 24 scones and before I explode,

0:00:590:01:02

I'm going to say both ways taste delicious.

0:01:020:01:05

Today's antiques fair is at the Royal Cornwall Showground

0:01:050:01:09

near Wadebridge.

0:01:090:01:10

And what's more, there are plenty of stalls to choose from.

0:01:100:01:13

Our teams have £300 and one hour to scour the fair for bargains,

0:01:160:01:21

but can they make a profit at auction?

0:01:210:01:24

Let's see what's coming up.

0:01:240:01:26

Love is in the air for the Reds.

0:01:270:01:30

What are you looking for today?

0:01:300:01:32

-A proposal of marriage.

-Oh, indeed!

0:01:320:01:34

The Blues use their charm.

0:01:340:01:37

We were thinking more about 30.

0:01:370:01:40

Oh, the ladies always like to strike a bargain.

0:01:400:01:43

And at the auction, there's plenty of excitement.

0:01:430:01:45

Oh, straight in.

0:01:460:01:48

Well, that's all for later, so let's meet today's teams

0:01:550:01:57

and it's something of a family affair,

0:01:570:01:59

because for the Reds we've got brothers Kelvin and Trevor

0:01:590:02:02

and for the Blues, mother and daughter Freya and Bethany.

0:02:020:02:05

-So, hello.

-Hello.

-Hello.

0:02:050:02:08

Starting with you, Kelvin.

0:02:080:02:09

You're the younger brother in this situation.

0:02:090:02:11

But you're good mates, you two.

0:02:110:02:12

Yeah, yeah. He's looked after me, brought me up, really.

0:02:120:02:16

You know, we've been pretty much close together.

0:02:160:02:19

We now live round the corner from each other.

0:02:190:02:21

Now, Kelvin, I know you to be a real romantic

0:02:210:02:24

and I know you did something

0:02:240:02:25

very special for your wife.

0:02:250:02:28

Yes, on our 25th wedding anniversary,

0:02:280:02:30

I took Heather over to Canada for a holiday and whilst in Niagara,

0:02:300:02:35

I had a little surprise for her.

0:02:350:02:38

We had a nice long white limousine pick us up at the hotel,

0:02:380:02:42

her jaw nearly hit the floor when she saw that,

0:02:420:02:44

and then it dropped us off at a nice little white chapel,

0:02:440:02:47

er...

0:02:470:02:49

and I asked her if she would like to renew our wedding vows and it was a

0:02:490:02:53

really good 25th wedding anniversary.

0:02:530:02:55

I'm thinking of all those brownie points.

0:02:550:02:58

Lots of them. Massive.

0:02:580:03:00

But, Trevor, you've spent most of your life,

0:03:000:03:03

a career in the Royal Navy,

0:03:030:03:05

travelling the world as a chef.

0:03:050:03:06

Yes, that's true. I did 32 years in the Royal Navy, man and boy.

0:03:060:03:11

My main claim to fame was that I was asked to do the Royal wedding cake

0:03:110:03:15

for Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson.

0:03:150:03:18

So, what did this cake look like and what went into it?

0:03:180:03:21

It was a rich fruitcake.

0:03:210:03:24

It was six foot tall and it was six tiers.

0:03:240:03:28

At the end of it, I managed to go to the Palace with the cake and it

0:03:280:03:31

looked really magnificent.

0:03:310:03:33

I did have the opportunity to wander around the palace and look at some

0:03:330:03:38

-real antiques.

-Did you?

0:03:380:03:40

All that glitters is definitely gold.

0:03:400:03:42

So, what about tactics, gentlemen?

0:03:440:03:45

Well, first thing is, we're going to enjoy ourselves, we're going to win,

0:03:450:03:49

but it's up to bro what we do when we're out there.

0:03:490:03:52

Well, I feel we should spend wisely, but then again it's not our money.

0:03:530:03:58

We're definitely in it to win it, so we will leave a little

0:03:580:04:02

for our expert so they can prove their worth.

0:04:020:04:05

Well, good luck, Reds, but over to the Blue team.

0:04:050:04:07

Freya, I believe you've got an almost telepathic relationship with

0:04:070:04:12

-Bethany, your daughter.

-Yes, we do.

0:04:120:04:14

We often end up ending each other's sentences and laughing a lot at

0:04:150:04:19

exactly the same thing, so yeah,

0:04:190:04:21

we get on very well and do a lot of things together.

0:04:210:04:23

-And you're a hairdresser.

-I am, yes.

0:04:230:04:25

-How long have you been doing that?

-I have been hairdressing ever since

0:04:250:04:28

I left school, which is a bit too long than I care to mention,

0:04:280:04:31

but really enjoy my job.

0:04:310:04:33

I hear you actually got to meet Prince Charles and Camilla.

0:04:330:04:37

Yes, I did. I was very fortunate to live overseas

0:04:370:04:40

in Riyadh for some time

0:04:400:04:41

and whilst we were over there in a military compound,

0:04:410:04:44

they came to visit and they spent several hours with us

0:04:440:04:47

and we got to chat to them. Very nice they were too.

0:04:470:04:50

And Bethany was a lot younger in those days

0:04:500:04:53

and she managed to hand over

0:04:530:04:55

a nice bouquet of flowers to Camilla.

0:04:550:04:57

So, that was nice.

0:04:570:04:58

Did you have to practise your curtsy?

0:04:580:05:01

-I think I did.

-Can you still remember it?

0:05:010:05:04

No.

0:05:040:05:06

But, Bethany, you've just done your A-levels.

0:05:060:05:09

-Just got my results.

-And all OK?

0:05:090:05:12

-Yeah.

-So, what's your plans now?

0:05:120:05:14

I'm hoping to find an apprenticeship

0:05:140:05:15

for something to do with hospitality,

0:05:150:05:17

because that's where I work at the moment, I work in a bar,

0:05:170:05:19

so meeting new people and interacting with people,

0:05:190:05:23

I get along really well with everyone.

0:05:230:05:25

So, what you're telling me is you got your mum's gift of the gab.

0:05:250:05:28

Yes.

0:05:280:05:30

What about tactics today, ladies?

0:05:300:05:32

Well, we plan to go out and have a good root around

0:05:320:05:34

-and see what we can find.

-Yeah.

0:05:340:05:36

We don't plan on spending much money, do we?

0:05:360:05:38

-Make a bigger profit.

-Buy small, sell big.

0:05:380:05:42

We're here to win.

0:05:420:05:44

I like that. Feisty, feisty women.

0:05:470:05:49

Yeah, excellent.

0:05:490:05:51

Well, before you can win it, you've got to buy it, haven't you?

0:05:510:05:53

So, I'm going to give you £300.

0:05:530:05:55

-Thank you.

-I'm going to give the Reds £300.

0:05:550:05:58

-Thank you very much.

-So, off you go and meet your experts.

0:05:580:06:02

And I think we're in for a right royal competition.

0:06:020:06:05

We've lined up a couple of very talented experts for our teams.

0:06:070:06:10

Digging for victory with the Reds, it's the lovely Caroline Hawley.

0:06:120:06:16

And let's hope he can keep his team on track for the Blues,

0:06:160:06:19

it's Ben Cooper.

0:06:190:06:20

So, Kelvin, Trevor, what are you looking for today?

0:06:220:06:24

-A proposal of marriage.

-Oh, indeed.

0:06:240:06:27

We're looking to get a little bit of silver, I think.

0:06:270:06:29

Something small.

0:06:290:06:31

-A bit of glass.

-Yeah.

-Amber even, some jewellery.

0:06:310:06:34

Maybe china, jewellery or something.

0:06:340:06:35

-Whatever catches my eye, really.

-Okey dokey.

0:06:350:06:38

I spy with my little eye potential profits.

0:06:380:06:41

Teams, your 60 minutes start now.

0:06:410:06:44

Shall we go off and find something?

0:06:440:06:46

-We'll go and find something.

-Excellent.

0:06:460:06:48

Let's start off and see what we can find.

0:06:480:06:50

Come on, guys.

0:06:500:06:52

Sounds like our teams are after similar things,

0:06:520:06:55

so hopefully they won't be fighting over the same objects.

0:06:550:06:58

Let the battle commence.

0:06:580:07:00

Start using your eyes,

0:07:020:07:03

see what's grabbing you and then that'll start the ball rolling.

0:07:030:07:07

What about here? Hunt for your bargain.

0:07:070:07:10

There's so much to choose from here

0:07:100:07:12

and it looks like something has caught the eye of the Reds.

0:07:120:07:15

-Now that...

-That's a big old pot, isn't it?

0:07:150:07:17

-Which one?

-That one there.

0:07:170:07:19

You know, I love blue and white.

0:07:190:07:21

That's mid-19th century, transfer-printed.

0:07:210:07:25

-But...

-But what?

-Transferred, is that good,

0:07:250:07:27

or is hand-painted better?

0:07:270:07:28

Yeah, it's great, but what isn't good,

0:07:280:07:31

it's got a massive great chip out of it.

0:07:310:07:33

If I can say now, I think we need to steer clear of damage.

0:07:330:07:37

Caroline knows what she's talking about.

0:07:370:07:39

Damage will affect the price, so move on, Reds.

0:07:390:07:42

The Blues have found their own piece of china with a very familiar name.

0:07:420:07:47

That looks like a piece of Moorcroft.

0:07:470:07:49

Would you like to have a look at it?

0:07:490:07:51

Have you ever heard of the factory, Moorcroft?

0:07:510:07:53

-I've heard of it.

-You've heard of it.

0:07:530:07:55

Moorcroft is one of those names

0:07:550:07:56

which now is very highly collectable.

0:07:560:07:58

It is a nice thing.

0:07:580:08:00

The thing you're looking for with any ceramics,

0:08:000:08:02

if there's any restoration or if there's any damage.

0:08:030:08:06

-Yep.

-And so, I'm just going to move it round.

0:08:060:08:09

Where it tends to be is on the rim, but at the moment,

0:08:090:08:12

this is all looking very good.

0:08:120:08:15

So, how much do you think that would make at auction?

0:08:150:08:17

I think that within an auction estimate it would be

0:08:170:08:20

quite a wide estimate, probably 50 to 80-ish.

0:08:200:08:23

Do one of you want to ask the gentleman what he's willing

0:08:230:08:25

-to do for the bottom price for you?

-Yeah.

0:08:250:08:27

-Shall we?

-Go on, then. Do you want to do it?

-Me?

0:08:270:08:29

No.

0:08:310:08:32

-Right.

-Go on, Beth.

-I drop glasses at work all the time.

0:08:320:08:34

The gentleman's at the end there.

0:08:340:08:36

If you'd like to come down and have a word with him.

0:08:360:08:38

-Hello.

-What would be the best you could do on this for us?

0:08:400:08:43

70.

0:08:460:08:47

12 off.

0:08:470:08:50

Could you not come down a little bit lower?

0:08:500:08:52

-What've you got in mind?

-Maybe about 60?

0:08:520:08:55

No. No. Couldn't do 60.

0:08:550:08:58

What's your best deal on that one?

0:08:580:09:00

-68.

-I think, girls, that's a good deal the gentleman's offered.

0:09:000:09:04

A bit over 10%, which is great,

0:09:040:09:06

and I think there's a real chance at auction,

0:09:060:09:08

so I think you'd better shake the man's hand.

0:09:080:09:10

Well, these girls aren't messing around.

0:09:100:09:12

Just a few minutes in and they have item number one.

0:09:120:09:15

That's what I like to see.

0:09:150:09:17

But what have the Reds found?

0:09:180:09:20

Oh, yeah.

0:09:210:09:22

Oh, and is that a cigarette dispenser?

0:09:250:09:28

-It is.

-Now, that is very kitsch.

0:09:280:09:31

Meaning sort of...

0:09:310:09:33

It's 1950s, I would say.

0:09:330:09:36

-Don't you think cigarette items...?

-Anything in it now.

0:09:360:09:40

Yeah, you could put anything in it, couldn't you?

0:09:400:09:42

You could put... Well, I'm not sure what you could put in it.

0:09:420:09:45

Exactly. Exactly.

0:09:450:09:47

It would wind round, you'd set it going,

0:09:480:09:51

and it would play music and spin at the same time as presenting you with

0:09:510:09:54

-your cigarettes.

-How much?

0:09:540:09:56

-75.

-You want to go on for a little while, maybe come back to this one?

0:09:570:10:02

Yeah, you can run back later on.

0:10:020:10:04

I'd have a think about that one because...

0:10:040:10:06

Have you seen such a thing before?

0:10:060:10:08

No, no. Not a cigarette dispenser.

0:10:080:10:11

It's certainly a striking object,

0:10:120:10:14

but smoking-related items don't always do well at auction today.

0:10:140:10:18

So they are right to keep looking.

0:10:180:10:20

Meanwhile, the girls want a silver,

0:10:220:10:24

but Ben has some advice to help their search.

0:10:240:10:26

With silver, there are various things

0:10:260:10:28

which are always useful to look for, say,

0:10:280:10:30

a good hallmark - and if you're going into auction,

0:10:300:10:32

people would buy certain hallmarks, certain types of things.

0:10:320:10:35

You get collectors for pepperettes,

0:10:350:10:37

you get collectors for all different aspects within silver.

0:10:370:10:41

One thing in silver, it has an intrinsic value,

0:10:410:10:43

so often there's not as much of a margin as you might like

0:10:430:10:46

to hope for, because it's much tighter world for the dealers.

0:10:460:10:50

Bare that in mind when you're looking.

0:10:500:10:52

Sound advice, Ben.

0:10:520:10:53

While they keep looking, what are the Reds on to?

0:10:530:10:56

Telephone is quite nice, isn't it?

0:10:560:10:58

-Yeah, well.

-It's more modern, of course.

0:10:580:11:00

But this modern stuff, it's only from the '60s, '70s and later,

0:11:000:11:05

but people are starting to collect all this.

0:11:050:11:10

Now, see, that's a bit of Poole.

0:11:100:11:12

-What do you think of that?

-I think a child of nine might have painted it.

0:11:120:11:16

-Right, so you don't like it then?

-No, I don't like it.

-Right, OK.

0:11:160:11:19

A child of nine? That's classic Poole pottery, Trevor.

0:11:190:11:23

But, it's not to his taste, so time to move on.

0:11:230:11:27

The girls wanted silver,

0:11:270:11:28

but can Ben tempt them with locally crafted copper?

0:11:280:11:31

Being Cornish, if they do have it, it's probably way out of our budget,

0:11:330:11:36

this wonderful Newlyn copper.

0:11:360:11:39

-Would you like us to...?

-No.

0:11:390:11:40

If it's not doing anything to you.

0:11:410:11:43

It's about you, I'm just coming up with ideas.

0:11:430:11:45

I'm not feeling copper at all.

0:11:450:11:47

-You're not feeling copper.

-No.

-No.

-No.

0:11:470:11:50

I love Newlyn copper, but the girls aren't feeling it,

0:11:500:11:53

so that's a no.

0:11:530:11:55

But, time is ticking, teams.

0:11:550:11:56

The Reds have bought precisely nothing and the Blues have one item.

0:11:560:12:00

Time for team tactics.

0:12:000:12:02

Right, now, we've used about 20 minutes in our mooching.

0:12:040:12:08

I think it's brightening up outside.

0:12:080:12:09

Why don't we go back to the silver

0:12:090:12:11

and maybe we can have a look outside

0:12:110:12:13

and see what we can get out there.

0:12:130:12:15

-Yes.

-Yeah.

-Come on, then.

0:12:150:12:17

And Caroline has her own way of motivating a team.

0:12:170:12:20

Hey, Trevor,

0:12:200:12:22

make it snappy.

0:12:220:12:23

-Oh, yeah.

-Do you like that?

0:12:230:12:25

Yeah.

0:12:250:12:27

Trevor isn't impressed,

0:12:280:12:30

but it looks like the Blues got their skates on

0:12:300:12:32

and have found a silver scent bottle.

0:12:320:12:34

Now, that's nice. I do like that.

0:12:350:12:36

-Do you want to have little look?

-Yes, please.

0:12:360:12:39

So how do we know it's silver?

0:12:410:12:43

Right, in the case of this, there is no English hallmark,

0:12:430:12:46

what we've got on the link, just on the side here, 925.

0:12:460:12:52

That will have been stamped on.

0:12:520:12:54

It has been proven to be of sterling quality of silver.

0:12:540:12:58

-Yeah.

-It does suggest it would be Continental.

0:12:580:13:01

-Right.

-Because it's just a 925 stamp,

0:13:010:13:03

it means it really is very difficult to date,

0:13:030:13:06

whereas with English silver

0:13:060:13:07

it's always got a date letter and we can date it that way.

0:13:070:13:10

The gentleman's only got £38 on it.

0:13:100:13:12

So, we'll see what the gentleman can do.

0:13:120:13:14

So, I think since Bethany did last time, Freya.

0:13:140:13:16

Oh, my goodness. Thank you.

0:13:160:13:18

Go and ask the gentleman what he can do for you.

0:13:180:13:21

We've got 38 on this, so what is the best you could do for us?

0:13:210:13:24

I'll try and just drop it below £30

0:13:240:13:26

and I'll take the £10 off and do it for 28. OK?

0:13:260:13:29

I think that's great. What do you think?

0:13:290:13:31

-Are you happy with that?

-Yes. Go for it.

0:13:310:13:33

-Go for it.

-Do it.

-I think you'd better shake the man's hand.

0:13:330:13:36

Thank you very much.

0:13:360:13:37

Deal done. These girls know what they like.

0:13:370:13:39

With just 22 minutes on the clock they have their second item,

0:13:390:13:43

but are the Reds any closer to finding their first purchase?

0:13:430:13:47

Kelvin is a bit of a romantic, so what's he found?

0:13:470:13:51

The heart. Just wondered if we could have a look and how much it is?

0:13:510:13:55

Indeed. Yep.

0:13:550:13:56

That one is 220.

0:13:570:13:59

It's nine-carat gold, is it?

0:14:000:14:02

That would be the best on it.

0:14:030:14:05

275 on it, 220 is the price.

0:14:050:14:08

-I think you might struggle to make a profit.

-Yeah.

0:14:110:14:14

Caroline is right.

0:14:140:14:15

It's a lovely pendant, but it's a bit of a risk.

0:14:150:14:18

So, the search continues.

0:14:180:14:20

While that £300 continues to burn a hole in their pockets,

0:14:200:14:24

let's leave the teams as I have an interesting local story to tell you.

0:14:240:14:28

Take a look at all this beautiful 18th-century porcelain.

0:14:350:14:40

Worcester, Liverpool, Bristol and Caughley.

0:14:400:14:44

And what do they all have in common?

0:14:440:14:46

Well, Cornwall.

0:14:460:14:47

And in particular, this - Cornish soapstone.

0:14:470:14:51

Back in the 17th century,

0:14:510:14:54

oriental porcelain from China and Japan

0:14:540:14:56

was pouring into Britain and into Europe.

0:14:560:14:59

But the formula for making porcelain

0:14:590:15:01

was a very closely guarded secret.

0:15:010:15:04

Chinese teapots like this were made from hard paste porcelain.

0:15:040:15:09

It was thin, it was beautifully hand decorated, but what's more,

0:15:090:15:13

it could withstand boiling water when making tea and coffee.

0:15:130:15:18

British manufacturers were unable to find a product that could withstand

0:15:180:15:23

boiling water and were desperate to find a formula for making products

0:15:230:15:28

like this. They found the answer here in Cornwall.

0:15:280:15:32

Soapstone such as this, found on the Lizard Peninsula,

0:15:320:15:35

when mixed with other ingredients,

0:15:350:15:38

produced a porcelain that could withstand boiling water.

0:15:380:15:42

The ceramic material produced was referred to as soft paste porcelain.

0:15:420:15:47

And lots of 18th-century manufacturers

0:15:470:15:50

harnessed this technology.

0:15:500:15:52

These early porcelains were influenced by their Chinese rival.

0:15:520:15:57

A Worcester tea bowl there

0:15:570:15:58

with a hand-painted blue and white decoration.

0:15:580:16:01

And a tea canister, this particular one with a printed design.

0:16:010:16:06

But the Worcester manufacturers didn't get it all their own way

0:16:060:16:09

because in the 1770s, up the River Severn into Shropshire,

0:16:090:16:14

the Caughley factory started producing similar

0:16:140:16:18

well-potted Chinese-inspired porcelains, in particular,

0:16:180:16:22

a favourite of mine is the fishermen and cormorant pattern.

0:16:220:16:27

The good news is that a substantial amount of 18th-century English

0:16:270:16:31

porcelains have survived and much of it

0:16:310:16:34

can be bought at really reasonable prices.

0:16:340:16:36

For example, a little tea bowl like this,

0:16:360:16:39

you might expect to pay £40.

0:16:390:16:42

A tea canister with its cover,

0:16:420:16:44

you're going to be paying around about £100 or maybe a tad more.

0:16:440:16:48

But the rarities always command a bigger price.

0:16:480:16:51

Such as this Caughley asparagus tip server,

0:16:510:16:55

hand-painted and initialled.

0:16:550:16:58

This is going to set you back the best part of £1,000.

0:16:580:17:03

It's all thanks to a little bit of Cornwall.

0:17:030:17:06

Time to get back to the shopping.

0:17:150:17:17

With 30 minutes gone, the Blues have stormed ahead with two items.

0:17:170:17:22

Let's head up here. So, do you have any idea?

0:17:220:17:24

We've got something ceramic, we've got something silver.

0:17:240:17:26

No, we haven't got much in mind.

0:17:260:17:28

Maybe a little bit of a wild card, something a little bit unusual.

0:17:280:17:31

Meanwhile, the Reds have failed to buy anything,

0:17:310:17:34

but that could be about to change.

0:17:340:17:36

They spotted something quite extraordinary.

0:17:360:17:39

-What's he made of?

-He's made of mannequin material.

0:17:410:17:45

-Mannequin material!

-We call them Woody.

0:17:450:17:48

Scrumbled, is that the expression?

0:17:480:17:50

-It is scrumbled.

-Yeah, yeah.

0:17:500:17:53

-You don't know any more about it?

-Not an awful lot.

0:17:530:17:56

He could be selling wooden products or from some sort of fancy shop.

0:17:560:18:00

But he was in a shop window originally.

0:18:000:18:03

There's no name of the shop on the back?

0:18:030:18:04

No. There's a stamp his bottom...

0:18:040:18:06

Is there indeed?

0:18:060:18:07

..which I can show you, if you want.

0:18:070:18:09

I've got an eye on mine, I can show you.

0:18:090:18:11

You have what? What did you say?

0:18:110:18:14

He's got a tattoo of an eye on his bottom.

0:18:140:18:16

-Has he?

-Yes.

-Has he really?

0:18:160:18:18

-Yes.

-Extraordinary.

0:18:180:18:20

While Caroline gets to the bottom of that,

0:18:220:18:25

let's see how the Blues are getting on.

0:18:250:18:26

They said they wanted china, so what have they found?

0:18:280:18:30

-Who is it?

-Who is it?

0:18:330:18:34

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

0:18:340:18:35

The king who was never crowned.

0:18:370:18:38

So, you can see ER and the eight -

0:18:390:18:42

VIII, Edward VIII.

0:18:420:18:46

A lot of people believe that these

0:18:460:18:47

are going to be worth an awful lot of money.

0:18:470:18:49

I can let you know that they aren't worth a lot of money.

0:18:490:18:52

There were loads created.

0:18:520:18:54

The Americans love them, or used to love buying them in bucket-loads,

0:18:540:18:59

but now they don't. So, I know you picked it up,

0:18:590:19:03

but I'm going to put it back down

0:19:030:19:04

because it's not going to set the auction alight, I can assure you.

0:19:040:19:08

It's all about making a profit,

0:19:080:19:10

so Ben is taking a firm hand with the Blues.

0:19:100:19:13

So, what is the news on the wood-effect mannequin?

0:19:150:19:18

I think the Reds are smitten.

0:19:180:19:20

Well, I've bought some things in my time, Trevor.

0:19:200:19:24

I expect that's where he's been based onto the floor.

0:19:240:19:28

-Yeah.

-And is he self-supporting?

0:19:280:19:30

-Does he...

-No.

-..stand up by himself?

0:19:300:19:32

No, he's got a little lean to him.

0:19:320:19:34

I am trying to sort of make a living here and taking a small loss,

0:19:340:19:37

I can do him to 130.

0:19:370:19:40

-What do you think, Trevor?

-How about 120?

0:19:400:19:44

An even bigger loss. You've got a deal, there you are.

0:19:440:19:48

-120. Shake the man's hand.

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you.

0:19:480:19:51

-Thank you very much.

-It's a deal.

0:19:510:19:53

-Excellent.

-"I'm going to a new home."

0:19:530:19:57

Come on, Woody.

0:19:570:19:58

Woody has won their hearts.

0:19:580:20:00

With just over 30 minutes on the clock,

0:20:000:20:02

the Reds finally have their first item.

0:20:020:20:05

Meanwhile, the Blues are still on the hunt for item three.

0:20:060:20:09

Can they find anything as unusual as Woody?

0:20:090:20:12

What is this?

0:20:120:20:14

A bed pan.

0:20:140:20:15

Get one of those.

0:20:170:20:19

-Time is ticking, girls.

-I know it is.

0:20:190:20:21

Ben's not impressed with that, girls,

0:20:210:20:23

but it seems the Reds have spotted something else on the stall

0:20:230:20:27

they were on earlier.

0:20:270:20:28

But what's it used for?

0:20:280:20:29

Flour or wheat.

0:20:320:20:34

Flour or wheat, what do you think it is?

0:20:340:20:36

-Barley?

-What do you mean, to put barley in?

0:20:360:20:39

Yeah. No. I was...

0:20:390:20:41

-It doesn't smell of anything.

-Shall I give you a clue?

0:20:410:20:43

It's French and it's for baguettes.

0:20:430:20:47

French baguette.

0:20:470:20:49

-Yes.

-A baguette box.

0:20:490:20:51

Yes. It's a baguette box.

0:20:510:20:52

Ah!

0:20:520:20:54

Every French home would have one.

0:20:540:20:56

It just needs a polish up, really.

0:20:560:20:58

Yeah, that's all. Just a bit dirty.

0:20:580:21:01

What's the best on this one?

0:21:010:21:03

DEALER: 25. That's all I paid for it.

0:21:030:21:06

-19.

-No. £20.

0:21:060:21:08

-Have we got a deal?

-A deal?

0:21:090:21:11

-OK.

-Yeah.

0:21:110:21:12

-Go on. OK?

-CAROLINE: Yes, OK.

0:21:120:21:14

Thanks very much.

0:21:140:21:15

Ooh la la. These guys have caught up in style.

0:21:150:21:18

They've certainly been thinking outside the box with their buys.

0:21:180:21:22

The two things they've bought are extraordinary.

0:21:230:21:27

A French baguette box.

0:21:270:21:28

And a painted male mannequin.

0:21:290:21:32

Dying to see what they buy for number three.

0:21:320:21:34

And so are we.

0:21:340:21:37

With just 20 minutes left, both teams now have one item to find.

0:21:370:21:41

The Blues wanted something unusual but will they find it?

0:21:410:21:45

What about something chunky like a set of scales?

0:21:450:21:48

Yeah, I quite like the look of those, don't we?

0:21:480:21:50

-Yeah. I think they are quite nice.

-Yeah.

-Shall we have a little look?

0:21:500:21:53

I mean, the condition of the tray is not brilliant.

0:21:530:21:56

-Is that going to make...?

-Enamelled.

0:21:560:21:58

It'll knock it slightly. But the rest of it, it's all working nicely.

0:21:580:22:03

Excuse me, sir. How much are your scales?

0:22:030:22:06

-They are 40.

-He's got 40 on those.

0:22:060:22:08

Will it make 40?

0:22:080:22:10

Well, I think we might need to do a bit of a negotiation

0:22:100:22:13

and see if we can get them down a bit.

0:22:130:22:15

Are you able to come down a little bit on the price

0:22:150:22:17

-of the scales?

-Well, I could do, considering you've noticed

0:22:170:22:22

the enamel is not in the best condition, so 35,

0:22:220:22:25

-if it will help you.

-We were thinking more about 30.

0:22:250:22:28

The ladies always like to strike a bargain.

0:22:290:22:33

Yeah, I'll do them for 30 for you.

0:22:330:22:35

I think the scales are more rustic than unusual,

0:22:350:22:37

so with just 43 minutes on the clock,

0:22:370:22:40

the Blues have all three items.

0:22:400:22:41

Group hug. Group hug.

0:22:410:22:43

Group hug. Right,

0:22:430:22:45

I think that the Reds are still going to be sweating

0:22:450:22:48

somewhere inside the hall.

0:22:480:22:49

I think it's time for us to go and find some lunch.

0:22:490:22:52

Lovely.

0:22:520:22:54

While the Blues go off to relax,

0:22:540:22:55

the Reds still have an item to find

0:22:550:22:57

and they did have jewellery on their wish list.

0:22:570:23:00

And these are cultured pearls...?

0:23:000:23:02

-I think so.

-Yeah, on top.

0:23:020:23:05

And nine-carat gold.

0:23:050:23:07

Now, that's a nice little ring.

0:23:070:23:10

How much is that one?

0:23:100:23:12

DEALER: £40. £40.

0:23:120:23:14

£40?

0:23:140:23:15

I think it would need to be a little bit better for us to sell it again.

0:23:160:23:19

I could do you 35.

0:23:190:23:20

35, what do you think, Trevor?

0:23:220:23:25

How long have we got?

0:23:250:23:26

Just over ten minutes.

0:23:260:23:27

-So a quick look in there.

-A quick look in there and then back.

-OK.

0:23:270:23:30

'The ring is on the back burner,

0:23:300:23:33

'as they have a final scout around

0:23:330:23:35

'and it looks like Trevor has his eye on some china.'

0:23:350:23:38

What have you found, Trevor?

0:23:400:23:41

Some Mason ware?

0:23:410:23:42

Yeah. Do you like Mason's?

0:23:420:23:45

I like the nice emblems.

0:23:450:23:47

Yes. I do, too.

0:23:470:23:49

I think that's very attractive, don't you?

0:23:490:23:51

It's not bad. I'm not a green person, but...

0:23:510:23:53

the gold sort of makes it stand out a bit.

0:23:550:23:58

How much is it, Trevor?

0:23:580:24:00

So, it's 65 for that.

0:24:020:24:03

Would they come as a set?

0:24:050:24:06

I think they are priced each, are they?

0:24:080:24:10

-Yeah.

-I'm not sure. Are they 65 each?

0:24:100:24:13

-Yeah, at the moment.

-Do you want to ask the lady?

0:24:130:24:16

Are they priced separately?

0:24:160:24:18

I could do a very good deal on them for you.

0:24:180:24:21

-Which would be...?

-I could do the three for the 65.

0:24:210:24:26

Oh! Just a one-off.

0:24:260:24:28

-That's three for 65.

-Three for 65.

0:24:280:24:30

Instead of one for 65.

0:24:300:24:33

Beautiful glaze on those.

0:24:330:24:34

-Yeah.

-And the colours are phenomenal.

0:24:340:24:38

And they pass the Trevor test.

0:24:380:24:40

They pass the Trevor test.

0:24:400:24:41

And you get lots of nuts in them!

0:24:410:24:42

-Yeah.

-Yeah, you'd get lots of nuts in them!

0:24:420:24:45

-So, what do you think?

-Yes.

0:24:470:24:49

-Yes?

-Everybody happy?

0:24:490:24:50

-Trevor?

-It's a deal.

0:24:500:24:52

Thank you.

0:24:520:24:53

'Trevor does the deal.

0:24:540:24:56

'So that's item three in the bag with minutes to spare.

0:24:560:24:59

'They've done it.'

0:24:590:25:00

HORN HONKS

0:25:000:25:02

Teams, your 60 minutes are up.

0:25:020:25:04

Time to stop shopping.

0:25:040:25:06

You've done very well.

0:25:060:25:07

Now, shall we go off and...?

0:25:070:25:09

-Thank you.

-..have a sit down?

0:25:090:25:11

-Have a sit down.

-Excellent.

0:25:110:25:12

Come on, guys.

0:25:120:25:13

Let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought.

0:25:130:25:16

He's tall, he's handsome, and his name is Woody.

0:25:160:25:20

The unusual shop mannequin was £120.

0:25:200:25:23

Cornwall is better known for pasties but they managed to find this

0:25:260:25:29

baguette box for £20.

0:25:290:25:32

And Trevor just had to have this set of three Mason ironstone dishes.

0:25:320:25:36

They were £65.

0:25:360:25:39

You didn't really stick to your wish list, did you?

0:25:390:25:42

I mean, you went well off-piste, you really did.

0:25:420:25:46

Yeah, it was a bit odd, that one, yeah.

0:25:460:25:47

-There you go.

-Let me ask you, Kelvin,

0:25:470:25:50

what is your favourite buy today?

0:25:500:25:52

That would be the French breadstick box.

0:25:520:25:55

-Right.

-That is my favourite.

0:25:550:25:56

That is your favourite. And what do you think is going to give you the

0:25:560:25:58

-biggest profit?

-That.

0:25:580:26:00

-Yeah.

-You do?

-Yeah.

0:26:000:26:01

OK. So, Trevor, what was your favourite buy?

0:26:010:26:04

The Mason ware we got at the end.

0:26:040:26:06

OK. And what about the buy that you think is going to give you

0:26:060:26:10

-the biggest profit?

-Well, looking at it,

0:26:100:26:12

I think that will give us the biggest profit.

0:26:120:26:15

So, remind me how much you spent.

0:26:150:26:17

£205.

0:26:170:26:18

£205.

0:26:180:26:19

So, you are going to give me £95.

0:26:190:26:21

£95. OK.

0:26:210:26:22

-With pleasure.

-All right,

0:26:220:26:23

that's the leftover lolly that goes towards the bonus buy.

0:26:230:26:26

I'm going to give it to Caroline.

0:26:260:26:27

-Thank you.

-So, Caroline, have you got your eye on something?

0:26:270:26:30

Well, I think I'm going to go hunting for something

0:26:300:26:33

-that was on your wish list.

-Right.

0:26:330:26:36

Well, whilst Caroline does go

0:26:360:26:37

hunting for something on the wish list,

0:26:370:26:39

let's remind ourselves what the Blue team bought.

0:26:390:26:42

It's a Bargain Hunt regular,

0:26:430:26:45

the girls snapped up the Moorcroft vase for £68.

0:26:450:26:49

This silver pendant scent bottle captured their hearts.

0:26:500:26:53

It was £28.

0:26:530:26:54

And they went for some rustic kitchenalia.

0:26:560:26:58

The scales tipped in at £30.

0:26:580:27:01

So, Freya and Bethany, I mean, cool and calm shoppers, or what?

0:27:030:27:08

I want to know what your favourite buy was, Freya.

0:27:080:27:10

My favourite buy was the little silver scent bottle that we got.

0:27:100:27:14

That was by far and away my favourite piece.

0:27:140:27:16

Which do you think is going to give you the biggest profit?

0:27:160:27:18

Definitely the little silver item.

0:27:180:27:20

-I think, yeah.

-Do you?

0:27:200:27:21

Yeah. We got it for quite a good price.

0:27:210:27:23

OK. What about you, Bethany? What's your favourite item?

0:27:230:27:26

I like the little blue vase that we bought.

0:27:260:27:28

-The first one.

-Oh, do you?

0:27:280:27:29

-Yeah.

-But what about profit? Where is that going to come from?

0:27:290:27:32

-The vase.

-You think the vase.

0:27:320:27:34

-Yeah, I think it will.

-OK.

0:27:340:27:35

Well, fair enough. So, remind me how much you spent.

0:27:350:27:38

We spent a total of £126.

0:27:380:27:40

-Well, you are going to give me £174.

-I am.

0:27:400:27:43

OK. Thank you very much. Over to Ben.

0:27:450:27:49

Ben, that's quite a sizeable amount

0:27:490:27:51

to go for the bonus buy, don't you think?

0:27:510:27:53

Well, I'm quite pleased with that and I've got to admit

0:27:530:27:56

at the moment, I'm lacking in inspiration but fingers crossed,

0:27:560:27:59

something will jump out at me.

0:27:590:28:01

OK. Well, while Ben goes off to seek inspiration,

0:28:010:28:04

we are going off to the auction.

0:28:040:28:06

We are in Plymouth - where, at Eldreds auction house,

0:28:150:28:18

I'm joined by Anthony Eldred.

0:28:180:28:20

-Good to be here.

-Welcome to you.

0:28:200:28:22

Thank you very much indeed.

0:28:220:28:23

We are going to start off with our Red team,

0:28:230:28:25

which is Kelvin and Trevor,

0:28:250:28:27

and the first item is a fine specimen of a man.

0:28:270:28:31

I love it. I think it's a great piece of decoration.

0:28:310:28:34

All right, it's a plastic mannequin, but look what they've done to it.

0:28:340:28:37

They've made it really interesting.

0:28:370:28:39

And I'm sure that somebody is going to love it.

0:28:390:28:41

It's practical too. You may not think that but it is.

0:28:410:28:44

His arms move.

0:28:440:28:45

-Yes.

-Put his arms out straight, hang your clothes on it.

0:28:450:28:48

-Yeah.

-All sorts of possibilities.

0:28:480:28:49

Oh, right. So, what's your estimate?

0:28:490:28:51

My estimate, 60-80.

0:28:510:28:53

60-80, well,

0:28:530:28:55

I think they were a little bit gung-ho, maybe, when they went out

0:28:550:28:58

and paid £120 for it.

0:28:580:29:00

120, well, it may not be as gung-ho as you think.

0:29:000:29:05

We'll watch this space either way.

0:29:050:29:06

So, item number two is the French baguette bin.

0:29:060:29:11

Now, I have to admit, I have never seen one of these before in my life.

0:29:110:29:16

But I can see the sense of it. I really can see the sense of it.

0:29:160:29:19

They do sell. We sell them. We have sold two this year.

0:29:190:29:23

-Have you now?

-Yeah, because all right, it's for baguettes,

0:29:230:29:26

which we are not going to use it for now, are we?

0:29:260:29:28

But you can put sticks in it, umbrellas,

0:29:280:29:30

there's all sorts of things you can do with it.

0:29:300:29:32

-Estimate?

-30-50 for that one.

0:29:320:29:34

Right. They actually paid £20 for it.

0:29:340:29:36

I think they've had a good buy.

0:29:360:29:38

I think they have as well.

0:29:380:29:39

And then item number three,

0:29:390:29:41

we've got three pieces of Mason's patent ironstone china.

0:29:410:29:45

But it is 20th-century.

0:29:450:29:47

It is and 20th-century ceramics,

0:29:470:29:50

they have to have something about them

0:29:500:29:52

to make people want to buy them.

0:29:520:29:54

It's in lovely condition,

0:29:540:29:56

but I just don't see what you are going to use them for.

0:29:560:29:59

So, your estimate...?

0:29:590:30:01

We put 20-30 on those.

0:30:010:30:04

Right. OK. Well, they paid 65.

0:30:040:30:06

I think they may struggle a little bit on that one, yeah.

0:30:060:30:08

So, it's obviously a bit of a mixed bag,

0:30:080:30:11

so it looks as though they may need their bonus buy.

0:30:110:30:13

So let's have a look at it.

0:30:130:30:15

Well, you left Caroline £95, so, Caroline,

0:30:170:30:21

tell me what you went and spent it on.

0:30:210:30:23

Well, a nice little bit of silver.

0:30:230:30:26

We was after some silver.

0:30:270:30:29

-You were.

-We was after a lot of things which we didn't get.

0:30:290:30:31

You were. But you searched and searched for silver, didn't you?

0:30:310:30:35

We did. Yes, we never saw something we liked.

0:30:350:30:37

Well, it's a pin tray.

0:30:370:30:39

And in the middle here is a copper coin from 1797,

0:30:390:30:45

it's a two-penny coin and it's mounted in a Sampson Mordan

0:30:450:30:50

silver surround from 1910.

0:30:500:30:53

Great condition.

0:30:530:30:55

It's a lovely little thing.

0:30:550:30:57

And what did you pay, Caroline?

0:30:570:30:59

What do you think I paid?

0:30:590:31:01

I'd say about £35.

0:31:020:31:04

Is he a clairvoyant?!

0:31:040:31:06

Exactly £35.

0:31:060:31:08

-Pardon?

-Yes, I paid exactly £35.

0:31:080:31:11

-Wow!

-What would you think it would make at auction?

0:31:110:31:14

I think it should make between 50 and £60.

0:31:140:31:18

-Well, it is an antique, then?

-It is an antique.

0:31:180:31:21

Yeah. Nearly as old as you, bro.

0:31:210:31:22

Which makes a change from the rest of the stuff we bought.

0:31:220:31:24

There's nothing wrong with the rest of the stuff you bought.

0:31:250:31:28

I bought him.

0:31:280:31:30

Well, you sound very impressed but remember,

0:31:300:31:33

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

0:31:330:31:35

You've got to wait until you've sold your first three lots.

0:31:350:31:37

So, meanwhile,

0:31:370:31:39

let's find out what the auctioneer thinks

0:31:390:31:42

about Caroline's silver pin tray.

0:31:420:31:44

So, this is Caroline's bonus buy.

0:31:450:31:47

What do you think?

0:31:470:31:49

Good company, Sampson Mordan and Co. It's a plain thing.

0:31:490:31:53

But I don't think it's going to make a lot of money.

0:31:530:31:55

-So, estimate?

-£20-£30.

0:31:550:31:58

20-30. Caroline paid 35.

0:31:580:32:01

So, it looks as though it might fly, that one.

0:32:010:32:03

-I think it will.

-So, now to the Blue team.

0:32:030:32:06

This is Bethany and Freya.

0:32:060:32:07

And starting with their little blue-glaze Moorcroft pot.

0:32:080:32:12

It's a pretty little vase.

0:32:120:32:14

A little bit dark for my taste.

0:32:140:32:16

I prefer the lighter-coloured colourways.

0:32:160:32:18

But there it is.

0:32:180:32:20

It's perfect as far as I can see.

0:32:200:32:22

OK. But at what price?

0:32:220:32:23

I think that one would make between 40 and £60.

0:32:230:32:27

They paid 68 for it but I still think

0:32:270:32:29

it's going to be in with a chance.

0:32:290:32:31

So, let's move on to that little silver pendant scent bottle.

0:32:310:32:34

It's a pretty little scent bottle.

0:32:340:32:35

A little bit of engraving on it, which helps it.

0:32:350:32:37

And I think it will make between £10 and £15.

0:32:370:32:41

Right. £28 paid, so, you know, it's not way out, is it?

0:32:410:32:45

It really isn't way out. And then, their third item, a set of scales.

0:32:450:32:50

And the scales are wonderful, and the weights.

0:32:500:32:53

As you... They don't have any practical application any more.

0:32:530:32:57

Are they decorative? Well, perhaps.

0:32:570:33:00

Personally, I don't think they are decorative enough.

0:33:000:33:03

If the weights were brass, it would help.

0:33:030:33:05

We've estimated £5-£10.

0:33:050:33:07

-Ouch. They paid £30 for it.

-Did they?

0:33:070:33:11

So the omens are not looking good for the Blues at the moment.

0:33:110:33:14

It looks as though they may well need their bonus buy.

0:33:140:33:17

So, let's take a look at it.

0:33:170:33:19

Ladies, you left Ben £174 to go out and spend, so Ben,

0:33:210:33:26

what did you spend it on?

0:33:260:33:27

Well, I had quite a bit of money and I thought,

0:33:270:33:29

I'm going to find some jewellery, something sparkly,

0:33:290:33:33

and then my eyes alighted upon...

0:33:330:33:34

-this.

-Mm.

0:33:360:33:39

There we go.

0:33:390:33:41

It's actually on the front, you can just see, a ship, in copper.

0:33:420:33:46

But on the back is the interesting part.

0:33:460:33:50

On the back there's an inscription...

0:33:500:33:52

which states that it is made from copper from the HMS Victory

0:33:520:33:57

to commemorate the centenary of Nelson's death in 1805.

0:33:570:34:02

So, from being a little uninteresting ship brooch,

0:34:020:34:07

it's actually a part of history.

0:34:070:34:09

So, what do you think now?

0:34:090:34:11

I like the fact there's a history behind it.

0:34:110:34:14

I think it's nice.

0:34:140:34:15

And the big question is, how much have you spent?

0:34:150:34:18

What do you think I spent on it?

0:34:180:34:21

I would say probably around £50.

0:34:210:34:24

Actually, I only paid 17.

0:34:240:34:26

-Oh!

-There we go.

0:34:260:34:28

Smiles all round, all of a sudden.

0:34:280:34:30

Liking it a bit better now.

0:34:300:34:31

And I'm hoping that it should have an estimate of £30-£40.

0:34:320:34:39

Definitely worth a punt, isn't it?

0:34:390:34:41

Now, you don't have to make your minds up now.

0:34:410:34:43

You do that once you sold your first three items.

0:34:430:34:46

But meanwhile, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Ben's

0:34:460:34:50

Victory brooch.

0:34:500:34:51

I like this one. I think it's a lovely little object.

0:34:520:34:55

And anything to do with the Victory or Nelson is always popular.

0:34:550:34:59

There's a vast amount of collectors for it.

0:34:590:35:02

There really are. I think it will make between £20 and £30.

0:35:020:35:06

20 and 30. Well, Ben went and paid £17.

0:35:060:35:09

That's realistic. I think he's had a good buy.

0:35:090:35:11

Yeah. OK.

0:35:110:35:13

So, are you taking the auction today?

0:35:130:35:14

I am. I'm thoroughly looking forward to it.

0:35:140:35:16

Excellent. So, we're in safe hands.

0:35:160:35:19

Five, quickly, five, six.

0:35:190:35:21

Eight, ten.

0:35:210:35:23

At £12.

0:35:230:35:25

At £15.

0:35:250:35:26

So, how are we feeling, gentlemen?

0:35:260:35:28

-Oh, brilliant.

-Really looking forward to this.

0:35:280:35:31

You are excited. You've got great expectations.

0:35:310:35:33

-No.

-No?

0:35:330:35:35

You've got to be an optimist. You've got to be an optimist.

0:35:350:35:38

Well, your first lot is coming up.

0:35:380:35:39

It's that amazing wood-effect mannequin, OK?

0:35:390:35:43

-For which you paid £120.

-A homage to Eric.

-Well, thank you.

0:35:430:35:47

Thank you very much. But either way, it's coming up now.

0:35:470:35:51

I'm bid £45 for him, against you all in the room at 45.

0:35:510:35:55

And 50. Five.

0:35:550:35:57

-I'll have to eat my hat.

-60.

0:35:570:35:58

Five. 70.

0:35:580:36:01

Seated there at £70.

0:36:010:36:03

Must be somebody else with a sense of humour.

0:36:030:36:05

At £70 there, seated in the middle.

0:36:050:36:08

I am bid five online.

0:36:080:36:09

-75.

-Oh, 75.

0:36:090:36:11

-£80.

-Come on, Eric.

0:36:110:36:12

Against the net.

0:36:120:36:13

At £80 now.

0:36:130:36:14

85.

0:36:140:36:16

You know you want it.

0:36:170:36:18

At £85.

0:36:180:36:19

Online, then, at £85, last chance, everyone.

0:36:210:36:24

I'll sell it at 85.

0:36:240:36:26

-Brilliant.

-Not bad.

-Went for 85.

0:36:280:36:31

So, you are -£35 on that lot, OK?

0:36:310:36:35

Your next item is coming up. It is your French baguette bin.

0:36:350:36:37

-I love that.

-I like it as well.

0:36:370:36:39

I think it's a good thing. Paid £20 for it.

0:36:390:36:41

-Yeah.

-I feel sure there's a profit coming on here.

0:36:410:36:45

-Hopefully.

-Don't hold me to it.

0:36:450:36:46

Well, whatever. Either way, here it is.

0:36:460:36:48

I am bid £28 for it.

0:36:480:36:51

Two bidders at 28. 30 if you want it.

0:36:510:36:53

At £28.

0:36:530:36:55

Use it as a stick stand, umbrellas, you name it.

0:36:550:36:57

You can put anything you like in it.

0:36:570:36:59

Are you quite sure at 28?

0:36:590:37:01

Nothing online? At £28, I'll sell it, last chance at 28.

0:37:010:37:05

I thought it might do better.

0:37:060:37:08

£8 profit.

0:37:080:37:10

We are now -£27.

0:37:100:37:12

So, here comes the next item.

0:37:120:37:13

It's the Mason's ironstone.

0:37:130:37:15

-Very nice pieces.

-Let's have a see, OK.

0:38:270:38:30

-We are happy with that, aren't we?

0:38:300:38:32

Could be a winning score. Could be a winner.

0:38:320:38:34

No, it's all gone well.

0:38:340:38:36

-Excellent. All right. Well, remember...

-Breadbox done it.

0:38:360:38:38

But not a word to the Blues.

0:38:380:38:40

-Who?

-Exactly.

0:38:400:38:41

-Good.

0:38:470:38:49

0:38:530:38:55

It's that lovely little Moorcroft baluster vase.

0:39:180:39:19

I'll sell it at £60.

0:39:190:39:21

0:39:210:39:22

Well, 60... Listen.

0:39:240:39:26

-It's -£8. Not that bad.

-Not too bad.

-No, no.

0:39:260:39:29

Everything to play for.

0:39:290:39:30

Everything to play for.

0:39:300:39:31

And your next lot that's coming up is the silver

0:39:310:39:34

pendant scent bottle. OK?

0:39:340:39:35

You paid £28 for this.

0:39:350:39:38

0:39:590:40:02

0:40:020:40:04

You broke even. You paid 28 for it.

0:40:040:40:06

You got £28.

0:40:060:40:09

At the moment, our running total is -£8.

0:40:090:40:11

Not bad going. Right, your next lot is the kitchen weighing scales,

0:40:110:40:14

you paid £30 for them.

0:40:140:40:16

And they are coming up now.

0:40:160:40:18

A fiver for those, quickly.

0:40:180:40:19

Somebody five? Help me out here.

0:40:190:40:22

A couple of pounds, someone?

0:40:220:40:23

Two, I'm bid at the back of the room.

0:40:230:40:25

At £2. Two. Three if you want.

0:40:250:40:27

At £2, there's 14lbs in weights.

0:40:270:40:30

Three. I'm bid five online.

0:40:300:40:33

At £5.

0:40:330:40:34

Six, if you want them.

0:40:340:40:35

Very last chance.

0:40:350:40:36

I've done my best. Six, there it is.

0:40:360:40:38

At £6. Lady in the middle.

0:40:380:40:40

He is back at eight.

0:40:400:40:41

At £8 now.

0:40:410:40:43

Don't give up that easily, madam.

0:40:430:40:44

At £8, I've got him here.

0:40:440:40:46

He won't go much further.

0:40:460:40:47

At £8, on my screen.

0:40:470:40:50

No? He shakes his head.

0:40:500:40:51

Spoilsport. Selling at £8, then, last chance.

0:40:510:40:56

£8.

0:40:560:40:58

Let me show you, that's given you a -22,

0:40:580:41:02

so we are now at -£30.

0:41:020:41:05

Well, you've still got the option of the bonus buy.

0:41:050:41:07

Remember, it's the copper brooch of HMS Victory.

0:41:070:41:10

-Yes.

-Ben went out and paid £17 for it.

0:41:100:41:13

So, the decision is yours, ladies.

0:41:130:41:14

Are you going to go with the bonus buy?

0:41:140:41:16

-Yes.

-Yeah. Definitely.

-You are. Yeah. Fighting talk.

0:41:160:41:19

That's what we want. Fighting talk.

0:41:190:41:21

Excellent. Well, it's coming up now.

0:41:210:41:24

£15, I'm bid.

0:41:250:41:27

Two bidders at 15.

0:41:270:41:28

18, if you want it. At £15.

0:41:280:41:30

18 in the doorway.

0:41:300:41:31

20.

0:41:310:41:33

Two now. At £22, standing at the back.

0:41:330:41:35

-Positive.

-You quite sure?

0:41:350:41:37

You all finished in the room?

0:41:370:41:38

At £22 then, I can sell it at 22...

0:41:380:41:41

Well, listen...

0:41:440:41:45

That's all right. That is a plus £5 on that lot.

0:41:450:41:49

Someone has bagged a bargain there.

0:41:490:41:51

Gives a grand total...

0:41:510:41:53

A grand total of -£25.

0:41:530:41:56

-That's not so bad.

-That's not too bad.

0:41:560:41:59

-Not bad.

-Could be a winning score, OK?

0:41:590:42:02

But remember, not a word to the Reds.

0:42:020:42:05

Well, the results are in but, sadly,

0:42:130:42:15

I'm not going to be dishing out any dosh today

0:42:150:42:17

because neither team made a profit.

0:42:170:42:21

But the runners-up today with -£62

0:42:210:42:24

is the Red team.

0:42:250:42:27

-BEN:

-Yeah!

0:42:270:42:28

Commiserations.

0:42:300:42:33

In your defence, your baguette bin did rather well for you.

0:42:350:42:38

-Yes, I don't care.

-Yes. But, despite all that, did you have fun?

0:42:380:42:42

-We did.

-Well, until you mentioned the loss, we did.

0:42:420:42:44

But winning isn't everything.

0:42:440:42:48

Well, it's the taking part that counts, yeah.

0:42:480:42:50

I've heard that somewhere before.

0:42:500:42:52

All right. Either way, turning to our triumphant Blues,

0:42:520:42:56

who made it with a mere loss of £25.

0:42:560:43:00

-We'll take that.

-Did you have fun?

0:43:000:43:02

-Yes.

-We had a brilliant time, yeah.

0:43:020:43:04

-A really good day.

-That's all that really matters.
