Today's Bargain Hunt comes from Cornwall,

0:00:020:00:03

a county famous for its rugged coastline,

0:00:030:00:06

beautiful countryside and, well, Poldark.

0:00:060:00:08

Oh, excuse me. I'm looking for the antique fair.

0:00:080:00:11

Can you point me in the right direction?

0:00:110:00:13

-Yeah, it's that way, mate.

-Thank you.

-All right.

0:00:130:00:16

Blimey, do they all look like that around here?

0:00:160:00:18

Well, there's only one way to find out.

0:00:180:00:20

Let's go bargain hunting!

0:00:200:00:22

Today's antiques fair is at the Royal Cornwall Showground

0:00:440:00:47

near Wadebridge and, if variety is the spice of life,

0:00:470:00:50

there's plenty to choose from here.

0:00:500:00:53

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

0:00:540:00:59

But can they make a profit at auction?

0:00:590:01:02

Let's see what's coming up.

0:01:020:01:06

-The Reds are not in agreement...

-I think you're totally wrong.

0:01:060:01:09

-Do you?

-Yeah.

-We've got to make a decision.

0:01:090:01:12

-We're running out of time.

-And I'm still saying no.

-OK.

0:01:120:01:15

..the Blues plead for the best price.

0:01:160:01:19

As love... As love as a human being...

0:01:200:01:22

-You're killing me!

-..and a British citizen.

0:01:220:01:26

And at the auction there are ups...

0:01:260:01:28

-Yes!

-Well done.

0:01:280:01:31

..and downs.

0:01:310:01:33

Oh, such a shame.

0:01:330:01:36

Well, all that is coming up later. So let's meet today's teams.

0:01:360:01:40

For the Reds, we've got Kelly and Andy, and for the Blues,

0:01:400:01:43

-we've got Darren and Sarah. Hello. ALL:

-Hello!

0:01:430:01:47

Kelly, tell me, when did you first meet?

0:01:470:01:50

Well, it was about almost five years ago.

0:01:500:01:52

Andy was working with some other people trying to turn some disused

0:01:520:01:55

land in Plymouth into a sort of community garden.

0:01:550:01:57

I saw it in the paper and thought I'd turn up and try and help,

0:01:570:01:59

but it was November and raining so we didn't get much done.

0:01:590:02:02

I started chatting, and then hit it off and the rest is history, really.

0:02:020:02:06

So on top of the gardening, really,

0:02:060:02:07

I mean, you have got a very interesting job, as well.

0:02:070:02:11

I do, I'm very lucky.

0:02:110:02:12

I'm a sommelier in a hotel in Falmouth,

0:02:120:02:14

which means that I just go in and I sort of pour your wine,

0:02:140:02:18

present your wine, make sure it's all OK, let you taste it.

0:02:180:02:20

So any recommendations you want, then I'm the one to come to.

0:02:200:02:22

-You're the girl.

-Yeah, absolutely.

-What about yourself, Andy?

0:02:220:02:26

-You're a sound engineer.

-Yes.

-What does that encompass?

0:02:260:02:28

Well, it could be anything from a rock festival to a comedy night

0:02:280:02:32

or even a ballet.

0:02:320:02:33

And you two seem to lead what I might call an off-grid lifestyle.

0:02:330:02:39

Yes, we live in a caravan on a farm just outside of Falmouth,

0:02:390:02:43

and it's lovely. We're constantly outside with our two dogs.

0:02:430:02:47

-It's all very...

-Cosy.

-Very cosy.

0:02:470:02:50

So what about bargain hunting, you two?

0:02:500:02:52

Well, we love a bargain, absolutely. I hate parting with money.

0:02:520:02:55

But this isn't my money, so I'm looking forward

0:02:550:02:56

to being able to splash the cash a little bit more than normal.

0:02:560:02:59

And what about tactics, then?

0:02:590:03:01

Spend big, spend big. Absolutely, yeah.

0:03:010:03:04

Well, good luck to you, Reds.

0:03:040:03:06

Now over to the Blue team.

0:03:060:03:07

So, Sarah, I believe you met when you were quite young?

0:03:070:03:11

Yes, I met Darren at our local amateur dramatics group.

0:03:110:03:14

I was 15, and he was 12, and he used to follow me all over the place

0:03:140:03:18

and I used to find it really annoying.

0:03:180:03:20

But we met again, didn't we, 20 years on?

0:03:200:03:24

And, well, we've been together now for two years and we've got a little

0:03:240:03:26

girl called Eleanor. Yeah.

0:03:260:03:28

So you're still in the theatre group?

0:03:280:03:31

Yes, I'm still in the theatre group.

0:03:310:03:32

And you sing and you dance, and you...

0:03:320:03:34

Sing, dance, act. All of it, I do all of it.

0:03:340:03:36

I also do karaoke, don't I?

0:03:360:03:37

So what's your show stopper, what's the one song

0:03:370:03:40

-that you like to belt out?

-Big Spender. I like doing that one.

0:03:400:03:43

-Oh, that's rather appropriate, isn't it?

-Yeah, it is.

0:03:430:03:45

-Well, come on, give us a rendition.

-OK.

0:03:450:03:47

# The minute you walked in the joint

0:03:470:03:50

# I could see you were a man of distinction

0:03:500:03:53

# A real big spender

0:03:530:03:56

# Good-looking, so refined

0:03:560:03:59

# Say, wouldn't you like to know what's going on in my mind? #

0:03:590:04:04

Well done, well done!

0:04:040:04:06

Oh, yes. So, Darren, it took you almost 20 years, then,

0:04:070:04:09

to, you know, to get things moving?

0:04:090:04:12

Yeah, yeah, it took a lot of persuasion.

0:04:120:04:15

And, to be honest, I feel the luckiest man alive.

0:04:150:04:18

-Awww!

-So I'm not going to let her go again.

0:04:180:04:21

I wouldn't doubt that for one minute.

0:04:210:04:23

-But you're a man in uniform, aren't you?

-I am, yes, yes.

0:04:230:04:27

I've been in the Navy for 16 years.

0:04:270:04:29

I've travelled all over the world, cooking for various people

0:04:290:04:31

as a leading chef.

0:04:310:04:32

I hope your shipmates, they appreciate the cuisine

0:04:320:04:36

that you give them on a regular basis.

0:04:360:04:38

It's the only job where you get inspected three times a day.

0:04:380:04:41

Everyone's Gordon Ramsay on board when it comes to dinner.

0:04:410:04:44

-You know? It gets quite annoying.

-Yeah, yeah.

0:04:440:04:46

Well, I'm hoping that when it comes to bargain hunting,

0:04:460:04:50

there's going to be absolute teamwork from you two.

0:04:500:04:53

Well, we're not going to give too much away.

0:04:530:04:55

But Sarah's in charge, Sarah's the boss.

0:04:550:04:57

-But sometimes we like to mix it up.

-Yeah.

0:04:570:04:59

We're not going to give away any tactics.

0:04:590:05:01

No, no, OK. So, if you're going to be a big spender,

0:05:010:05:03

-you're going to need some money.

-Thank you.

0:05:030:05:05

So there's £300 to you, and £300 for the Reds.

0:05:050:05:08

-BOTH:

-Thank you.

-So, off you go and meet your experts.

0:05:080:05:11

Well, I do feel that love is in the air,

0:05:110:05:13

but will it bring the sweet smell of success?

0:05:130:05:17

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

0:05:170:05:21

Keeping score for the Reds, it's Caroline Hawley.

0:05:210:05:24

And helping the Blues stay afloat, it's Ben Cooper.

0:05:260:05:29

So, Andy, Kelly, what are you looking for today?

0:05:320:05:35

Some silver, definitely, something strange,

0:05:350:05:38

-a little bit small and interesting.

-OK.

0:05:380:05:40

I'd like military, World War I, World War II.

0:05:400:05:43

Maybe some vintage theatre lighting or something like that.

0:05:430:05:46

I'm not sure yet. I need to see something that's pretty,

0:05:460:05:49

something that catches my eye and I think, "I'd buy that."

0:05:490:05:51

So a bit girlie, a bit blokey.

0:05:510:05:54

Teams, it's time to weigh up your options.

0:05:540:05:57

Your 60 minutes start now.

0:05:570:06:00

Let's head off and see what we can find. Come on, guys.

0:06:000:06:03

-Let's go get.

-Let's do it.

0:06:030:06:05

Both our teams are looking for something a bit different,

0:06:050:06:08

off the wall and eye-catching.

0:06:080:06:10

So it could be an interesting shop.

0:06:100:06:12

Let the battle commence.

0:06:120:06:14

And it looks like the Reds have spotted something already.

0:06:140:06:17

I like those chairs, the folding ones.

0:06:170:06:19

-Do you know? I do, I do.

-They're beautiful.

0:06:190:06:22

-How much are they?

-They're quite a nice shape, aren't they?

0:06:220:06:24

-Yeah, I think they're lovely.

-What do you think, darling?

0:06:240:06:26

-I like them, yes.

-We've seen your wonderful chairs.

0:06:260:06:29

-Yes.

-What would be your best price?

-£55.

0:06:290:06:33

-They say 15 on them, what's that?

-15 each.

0:06:330:06:36

-And how many are there?

-There's four. So that would be 60.

0:06:360:06:39

-So I'm giving you a little discount.

-55 is the best, is it?

0:06:390:06:43

I think so. I could possibly squeeze 50,

0:06:430:06:45

but I will not go any further down.

0:06:450:06:47

-OK, OK.

-Do we have a think about it?

0:06:470:06:49

-Yeah, let's do that. Let's do that.

-Right, then.

0:06:490:06:51

It's early days, so no need to rush into buying them yet.

0:06:510:06:55

And the Blues have tuned in to something vintage.

0:06:550:06:58

Have you seen that as well?

0:06:580:06:59

-What, you like that one over there?

-Yeah.

-What is "that"?

0:06:590:07:02

-I don't know. This?

-This radio?

-Yeah.

0:07:020:07:05

-That's quite funky.

-It's missing a button, though, isn't it?

0:07:050:07:08

-It is missing a knob.

-Art Deco?

0:07:080:07:09

No, it would be a bit later than that.

0:07:090:07:11

I'd have thought it's 1950s, probably.

0:07:110:07:13

Manufacturer - Ultra.

0:07:130:07:14

What's the price on that one?

0:07:140:07:16

-SELLER:

-It's 45.

-How much would it sell for?

0:07:160:07:18

I would reckon a £40-60 estimate, something like that.

0:07:180:07:22

So what is it that's drawn you to it, then, Darren?

0:07:220:07:24

Well, I like the shape. I like the authenticity of it.

0:07:240:07:27

-It's got the '50s look...

-Yeah, yeah.

0:07:270:07:29

There is this whole sort of retro thing going on now.

0:07:290:07:32

-Yeah, definitely.

-And retro is really popular.

0:07:320:07:34

OK, well, I'm not sure about that one now,

0:07:340:07:36

because I've seen another one over here that I quite like.

0:07:360:07:39

-That one there.

-What's the price on that one?

0:07:390:07:41

The price on that one's 75.

0:07:410:07:43

75?

0:07:430:07:45

That is, in a way, more iconic.

0:07:450:07:47

That's very much of the now retro, this has got much more classic

0:07:470:07:51

1930s in design, in style.

0:07:510:07:54

It's very much more iconic, in a way, than the other.

0:07:540:07:56

-Do you like it?

-I like it.

0:07:560:07:57

I like it, but I'm going to go for the majority, not the minority.

0:07:570:08:00

-Shall we try and get it down, then?

-OK.

-See what he says.

0:08:000:08:02

-OK.

-He might be able to tweak lots or not.

0:08:020:08:05

-Excuse me, mate? Sorry...

-Yeah, no worries.

0:08:050:08:08

-Would you take 60 for this?

-I can't do that, sorry.

0:08:080:08:10

The best I can do is 65, that's the very best price.

0:08:100:08:14

-65?

-A really collectable radio, that one.

0:08:140:08:17

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-It's a winner.

-Brilliant.

-It's collectable.

0:08:180:08:20

-Cheers for that.

-Thank you very much.

0:08:200:08:22

-Nice one.

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you very much.

0:08:220:08:24

-Thank you very much.

-Yes!

0:08:240:08:26

-High-five, well done. High-five.

-Yay!

0:08:260:08:29

Great. Right! Let's head off and see what else we can find.

0:08:290:08:32

-Come on, guys.

-That's pretty impressive.

0:08:320:08:35

The Blues have item one after just seven minutes.

0:08:350:08:38

But hot on the trail are the Reds.

0:08:380:08:40

They've found something perfect for a day at the Cornish seaside.

0:08:400:08:45

I like those chairs. Wow! Look at them, look at the colours.

0:08:450:08:48

-They are gorgeous.

-They've got to be old, surely?

0:08:480:08:50

-They can't be new.

-Yeah, I think they are and I think they're French.

0:08:500:08:53

-Do you?

-Yeah. Let me go and see...

-That's got to be good.

0:08:530:08:55

-..if I can find the owner of them.

-OK.

-I'll be back.

0:08:550:08:58

-Look at the shape of that handle.

-I'm going to try to see...

0:08:580:09:00

-It's like over-engineering.

-I want to see how comfortable it is.

0:09:000:09:03

-Oh, please don't break the chair.

-Don't break the chair.

0:09:030:09:06

-Please don't break the chair.

-Oh, Andy, comfortable?

0:09:060:09:09

-Yes!

-Do you feel sturdy?

0:09:090:09:11

I feel... I wouldn't want to rock around in a vigorous manner,

0:09:110:09:14

-but I'm comfortable. They are...

-It's lovely.

0:09:140:09:18

-They are beautiful, aren't they?

-How much do you think they are?

0:09:180:09:21

I think they're really expensive. Like 70 quid.

0:09:210:09:24

They're French. You're exactly right.

0:09:240:09:27

-They were 35 each.

-OK.

-And they can be 30 each.

0:09:270:09:31

-30 each?

-Yeah.

-What do you think?

0:09:310:09:34

I really like it.

0:09:340:09:36

I'd have it in my garden, and I'd pay 30 quid for it.

0:09:360:09:39

-Yeah.

-But it's whether somebody else would.

-I would as well.

0:09:390:09:42

Would you pay 45?

0:09:430:09:44

-No, maybe not.

-Let's move on, then.

-Yeah.

0:09:460:09:48

-No, I wouldn't. I'd pay 30.

-Right, come on, then.

-Yeah, onwards.

0:09:480:09:51

-No good.

-Thank you!

-I say, we're doing very well, aren't we?

0:09:510:09:55

At £30 per chair, already they're not sure that bidders

0:09:550:09:58

at the auction would pay any more for them.

0:09:580:10:00

Something to think about.

0:10:000:10:02

So they're going to continue searching.

0:10:020:10:04

Meanwhile, are the Blues snap happy?

0:10:040:10:06

-Tell us a bit about this one.

-I can tell you about it.

0:10:060:10:09

It's non-functional because the cover has gone

0:10:090:10:11

on the bellows, so you'll never get it to work again.

0:10:110:10:14

-It's purely a decorative item.

-How much is it?

-I've got 21 on it.

0:10:140:10:19

How hard do you want to haggle?

0:10:190:10:22

-Shall we come back to that one?

-OK. All right, OK.

0:10:220:10:24

-We'll have a think about it.

-You're getting a death stare going across.

0:10:240:10:27

-The thousand-yard stare.

-It's my turn.

0:10:270:10:29

Darren isn't going to take on the death stare,

0:10:290:10:32

so that's a no to the camera.

0:10:320:10:34

But it seems the Reds are up for some horseplay.

0:10:340:10:38

-The saddle...

-Yeah, would it just be decorative or would someone use it?

0:10:380:10:41

Well, you could use it.

0:10:410:10:42

It needs a girth putting on, and maybe just a bit of a polish up.

0:10:420:10:46

But it looks in great condition.

0:10:460:10:48

And do you know, to buy one new, you'd pay an awful lot of money.

0:10:480:10:53

-Mmm.

-Several hundred pounds.

0:10:530:10:56

-That is true.

-So, really, you know, it's not expensive.

0:10:560:10:59

-It's different.

-It certainly is.

0:10:590:11:02

How much is on your saddle?

0:11:020:11:03

-£25.

-£25?

0:11:050:11:07

-I like it.

-I like that.

-I like it, too.

-Do you like that, too?

0:11:070:11:10

-That's a hat-trick.

-That is a hat-trick.

0:11:100:11:13

-What is your best price?

-£20.

-£20?

0:11:130:11:17

-Would you do 18?

-OK, go on.

-Really?

0:11:170:11:20

I think that's a deal. I like that.

0:11:200:11:22

-I think that's great.

-Wonderful.

-Thank you very much.

0:11:220:11:25

-Well done. Excellent.

-Fantastic.

-Brilliant.

0:11:250:11:27

-I'm happy with that.

-That wasn't on the list, was it?

0:11:270:11:29

It wasn't on the list. That's not small and shiny.

0:11:290:11:32

-No.

-No, but it's lovely.

-Wonderful.

-Thank you.

0:11:320:11:34

-Thanks very much.

-Thank you.

0:11:340:11:36

The Reds have bagged an unexpected first item.

0:11:360:11:40

And with just 22 minutes on the clock,

0:11:400:11:42

let's hope it will gallop to a profit.

0:11:420:11:45

Meanwhile, the Blues have found another vintage item that relates

0:11:450:11:49

to a British institution.

0:11:490:11:51

Sarah, are you liking that, are you?

0:11:510:11:53

-It's got Women's Institute on it.

-The WI.

0:11:530:11:55

-Yeah.

-Is there a market for it?

-Yeah, is there...?

0:11:550:11:58

-I think there is.

-That Women's Institute...

0:11:580:12:00

I think because it's something which

0:12:000:12:02

is really quite quirky and different.

0:12:020:12:04

I mean, you know, it's an amateur-made sign.

0:12:040:12:06

It was made by a WI institution somewhere

0:12:060:12:09

and it was their... their sign which somebody made.

0:12:090:12:12

But it's quite fun how the paint has faded. It's a bit wacky.

0:12:120:12:16

-Do you want to...?

-How much? How much is it, Sarah?

-£135.

0:12:160:12:18

OK, Sarah, I'll make you a deal.

0:12:180:12:20

If you can get them down then it's your decision.

0:12:200:12:23

Any... Can you take anything else than 135?

0:12:230:12:26

-Or any lower?

-The lowest I'd go is probably 90.

-Right, OK.

0:12:260:12:32

But it's... It's a local piece of history, it's from Camelford.

0:12:320:12:36

-Right.

-The institute was knocked down about 26 years ago.

0:12:360:12:40

So the sign's about 60 years old.

0:12:400:12:42

-What do you reckon, Darren?

-Well, I trust everything you say.

0:12:420:12:45

-What do you reckon?

-I need to come back to it.

0:12:450:12:47

Right. Will you keep it at 90 if we came back?

0:12:470:12:50

-Yes, no problem.

-Is that OK?

-Yes.

-Brilliant.

-Thank you very much.

0:12:500:12:53

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

0:12:530:12:54

It's a great-looking object but it's on the back burner for now.

0:12:540:12:57

Meanwhile, Kelly said she wanted something strange and interesting.

0:12:570:13:01

Has she found it?

0:13:010:13:03

-I love it.

-Do you?

-Yeah.

-I'm not...

-It's adorable.

0:13:050:13:09

-Look at that little face.

-I'm not so sure.

0:13:090:13:13

Would you not sit on that as a child?

0:13:130:13:15

Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?

0:13:150:13:17

-I found a zebra.

-I can see you found a zebra.

0:13:170:13:21

I think he's really cute. I think he's lovely.

0:13:210:13:24

-Do you?

-Yeah.

-And what do you think, Andy?

0:13:240:13:27

I think the total opposite.

0:13:270:13:29

Do you? Right.

0:13:290:13:30

Just imagine sitting on him, watching telly.

0:13:300:13:32

It's not a...

0:13:320:13:33

-It looks like it's off of some sort of child's fairground ride.

-Yeah.

0:13:330:13:38

-Or something.

-He needs a new saddle, doesn't he?

0:13:380:13:41

Well, luckily, we've just got one of those.

0:13:410:13:43

-Oh, luckily, you have!

-Yes.

0:13:430:13:46

All right, do you want me to go and see if I can find a price?

0:13:460:13:48

Could you? That would be brilliant.

0:13:480:13:51

While Caroline goes off to investigate the price,

0:13:510:13:53

the Blues are onto something with a local connection.

0:13:530:13:56

-Darren, that's Pilgrim Fathers.

-I like that.

0:13:560:13:58

-Well, it's your local town.

-Yeah, it is.

0:13:580:14:01

That's the founding fathers of modern-day America, isn't it?

0:14:010:14:04

-It is.

-And they set off on the Mayflower in 1620.

0:14:040:14:08

So this is the 350th anniversary, just to commemorate.

0:14:080:14:12

I'm sure there were quite a lot produced

0:14:120:14:15

and it's not of great age, but then again, 1970, that is...

0:14:150:14:19

That's 46 years now, isn't it? Depressing thought.

0:14:190:14:22

-So...

-Vintage.

-Vintage, like me!

0:14:220:14:26

The condition is paramount. I can't see anything...

0:14:260:14:28

I mean, do you want to have a look around, Sarah, and just see?

0:14:280:14:32

-Has it been, like, painted, or is it...?

-No, that's the glaze.

0:14:320:14:35

-Right.

-So, what it is, it's a terracotta...

0:14:350:14:38

-It's very obviously a terracotta plate.

-Right, yeah.

0:14:380:14:41

And then that has got this slip decoration which has been moulded,

0:14:410:14:45

and then covered with this cream slip to bring out all the design.

0:14:450:14:49

As a bit of local interest,

0:14:490:14:51

it would have probably an auction estimate of £20-30,

0:14:510:14:54

something like that. I don't think it's going to set the world alight.

0:14:540:14:57

-No.

-But it depends what is on it.

0:14:570:15:00

I mean, do you want to buy something local?

0:15:000:15:03

-Sarah?

-I don't mind. If I think...

0:15:030:15:05

If it would get us some money, then...

0:15:050:15:07

Can you ask...? Do you want to do some haggling?

0:15:070:15:10

Yeah, I can ask. Excuse me, how much is this plate going for?

0:15:100:15:13

What do you reckon it's worth, then?

0:15:130:15:15

-25 quid.

-Would you take 15?

-No.

0:15:150:15:18

-How about 20?

-21. It seems fair enough.

0:15:180:15:22

Sarah? It's the anniversary of the Pilgrim Fathers.

0:15:220:15:26

-OK, and we are from Plymouth.

-Well, yes. It's a bit of localness.

0:15:260:15:29

-It's a bit of localness, if that's a word.

-Localness, if that's a word.

0:15:290:15:32

-Localness.

-Localness.

-Localness to us.

0:15:320:15:33

-Do you want to?

-I'd say yes.

-OK.

-Why not?

-On your head it be.

0:15:330:15:37

-Why not? OK, deal.

-Deal.

-Good man.

0:15:370:15:39

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you.

0:15:390:15:42

Well done, Blues, with 30 minutes on the clock,

0:15:420:15:44

they have item number two.

0:15:440:15:46

So there's plenty of time for their final buy.

0:15:460:15:49

But what's the news on the Reds' fairground zebra?

0:15:490:15:53

-Right.

-What's the word?

-Well, what do you think it is?

0:15:530:15:58

I wouldn't even want to hazard a guess.

0:15:580:16:00

-I've no idea.

-Well, try.

0:16:000:16:01

-Kelly, what do you think?

-I think...

0:16:010:16:05

£40.

0:16:070:16:08

-No, you're wrong...

-Am I?

-..by 105. 145.

0:16:080:16:12

-Oh, OK. What is it?

-It's 1950s.

0:16:120:16:15

This is from a 1950s fairground ride.

0:16:150:16:17

-Ah!

-It's totally original.

0:16:170:16:21

Has that changed your opinion, slightly?

0:16:210:16:24

No. That's confirmed my opinion that I don't like it.

0:16:240:16:27

-Really?

-Not at 145.

0:16:270:16:29

That's what he's asking, but I'm sure you could get it down a bit.

0:16:290:16:33

What would be your very best price?

0:16:350:16:38

120.

0:16:390:16:41

Maybe two digits?

0:16:410:16:43

-No, not two digits.

-No, it couldn't be 90?

0:16:430:16:46

100 is the best I will do.

0:16:460:16:48

-100?

-But that is the absolute bottom line.

0:16:480:16:50

I think someone is going to collect those

0:16:500:16:53

-and want loads of wooden animals...

-What, a herd of zebras?

0:16:530:16:56

-Yeah.

-I think you're totally wrong.

-Do you?

-Yeah.

0:16:560:16:58

-We've got to make a decision.

-We're running out of time.

0:16:580:17:02

-And I'm still saying no.

-OK.

0:17:020:17:03

Well, in that case, thank you very much. Thank you.

0:17:030:17:06

He's saying no.

0:17:060:17:07

They just can't agree on the quirky zebra.

0:17:070:17:09

But time is ticking, Reds, and you still have two items to find.

0:17:090:17:13

So let's leave the teams to continue their search.

0:17:130:17:16

I love having a rummage around fairs like this

0:17:160:17:19

and I've come across something equally unusual.

0:17:190:17:22

But I want to find out if anyone knows what it was used for.

0:17:220:17:25

This is something of a mystery object to some folk,

0:17:280:17:31

but you may recognise it for what it was used for.

0:17:310:17:34

-BOTH:

-Hmmm...

-I would say for measuring tea, possibly?

0:17:340:17:37

A medical spoon?

0:17:370:17:38

It's a cheese scoop.

0:17:380:17:40

Is it for scooping melon?

0:17:400:17:41

I thought it was for Stilton.

0:17:410:17:43

-An ice-cream scoop?

-An ice-cream scoop?

0:17:430:17:45

-A little one, a dinky one?

-It would be dinky, wouldn't it?

-Yeah, yeah.

0:17:450:17:48

It would be dinky.

0:17:480:17:50

Well, the answer is that this is a silver marrow scoop.

0:17:500:17:53

Now, don't think about the vegetable, no,

0:17:530:17:55

this is actually for extracting the marrowbone jelly

0:17:550:17:59

that you find in the centre of animal bones.

0:17:590:18:02

This example dates to the reign of George III.

0:18:020:18:05

And way back then, marrowbone jelly was seen as a real delicacy.

0:18:050:18:10

We might turn our noses up at it today, but way back then,

0:18:100:18:14

it was seen as being incredibly health-giving and very nutritious.

0:18:140:18:19

What's more, it carries the hallmark and the date mark for the year 1801.

0:18:190:18:25

On top of that, it's got something of a local connection,

0:18:250:18:28

because it carries the crest here of the Cornwall 32nd Regiment of Foot.

0:18:280:18:34

So this probably belonged to a high-ranking Cornish officer of that

0:18:340:18:39

regiment, somebody who was keen to instil higher standards of table

0:18:390:18:44

etiquette around that mess-room table.

0:18:440:18:47

Whereas previously they'd been gnawing and slurping

0:18:470:18:50

on animal bones, and instead, use an elegant scoop like this.

0:18:500:18:55

-Marrow!

-A marrow scoop.

0:18:560:18:58

-Marrow jelly out of a bone. BOTH:

-Ahh!

0:18:580:19:01

From an animal... Marrowbone jelly?

0:19:010:19:02

-Do you remember it?

-Yeah, I remember it, yes.

0:19:020:19:04

-A marrowbone scoop.

-A marrowbone... yeah.

0:19:040:19:07

-Have you ever tried marrowbone jelly?

-No.

0:19:070:19:11

Now, I've seen plenty of marrow scoops made out of animal bone.

0:19:110:19:16

And they fetch around about £30, £40 or so.

0:19:160:19:19

But this is silver, and with its regimental connections,

0:19:190:19:23

I can tell you now that if it turned up locally at an auction,

0:19:230:19:27

I would see this making at least £300.

0:19:270:19:30

Now, I think that is something of a scoop.

0:19:300:19:33

Back to our teams, and they're 40 minutes into their shopping.

0:19:350:19:38

The Blues are ahead with two items and the Reds only have one,

0:19:380:19:42

but they wanted something unusual and they might have just found it.

0:19:420:19:46

-Oh, I like this.

-What have you found?

0:19:480:19:51

-Look at this choker.

-Oh, I like that.

0:19:510:19:54

-Isn't that beautiful?

-I like that, too.

-Moonstones.

0:19:540:19:58

Right, it's £110. I think that that is lovely.

0:19:580:20:03

-It's beautiful.

-It's fairly modern.

0:20:030:20:05

And I don't think it's got a lot of age to it. Let's have a look.

0:20:050:20:09

Yeah, it's silver, 925, which is 925 parts silver.

0:20:090:20:15

-And that's gorgeous.

-It's lovely, isn't it?

0:20:150:20:18

-And the spring's still good?

-Yeah, the spring's very good.

0:20:180:20:21

-Has it got a maker? Can I have a little look?

-It's fairly modern.

0:20:210:20:24

I'm sure it's modern, and they're moonstones, aren't they, madam?

0:20:240:20:27

-Yes, I think so.

-I think that's absolutely beautiful.

0:20:270:20:30

-I do, too.

-What do you think?

-I like it.

0:20:300:20:33

What would be your rock-bottom price?

0:20:330:20:36

-What does it say on it?

-110.

-100.

0:20:360:20:39

100 would be the best?

0:20:390:20:42

-I would wear it.

-I would wear it every day.

-I would wear it, yeah.

0:20:420:20:45

-You see...

-I really like it.

0:20:450:20:46

-..looking at that, then thinking about our zebra...

-Yeah.

0:20:460:20:49

..or your zebra, as I should say...

0:20:490:20:51

..I think the zebra sounds more and more attractive now.

0:20:530:20:55

Can we go back and get the zebra, then?

0:20:550:20:57

-Let's go back and get the zebra.

-OK, thank you very much.

0:20:570:21:00

Oh, I have never in my life heard such a thing.

0:21:000:21:03

-So you are rejecting...

-I'm rejecting...

0:21:030:21:05

-..that rather beautiful thing.

-..that beautiful silver

0:21:050:21:08

-and I'm going to go and buy...

-And you want the zebra?

0:21:080:21:10

-..the battered old zebra instead.

-Go, go, go!

-Yeah, £95...

-Thank you very much.

0:21:100:21:13

I didn't see that coming! Andy is won over by the zebra

0:21:130:21:17

and is about to make Kelly a very happy lady.

0:21:170:21:20

While they go back to find it, have the Blues found their final buy?

0:21:200:21:24

-Time is running low.

-We need to really decide.

0:21:240:21:26

-What about this?

-They're £30 the pair.

0:21:260:21:29

They're glass.

0:21:290:21:30

If we hold it up to the light, some good light, can you see?

0:21:300:21:34

-Yeah, you can see.

-It's a dark brown glass.

0:21:340:21:37

I would have thought they're most likely Bohemian made.

0:21:370:21:40

-Bohemia, Czech Republic, that sort of area.

-Right.

0:21:400:21:43

Date-wise, 20th century.

0:21:430:21:46

-But they're a nice, decorative, and as you say, pair.

-Yeah.

-Yeah...

0:21:460:21:49

And our time is ticking.

0:21:490:21:51

I think... I think we're being pushed into a

0:21:510:21:53

Women's Institute corner here.

0:21:530:21:56

-You're thinking WI?

-I am as well.

0:21:560:21:58

-I'm thinking WI now.

-I am thinking that, too.

0:21:580:22:01

-It's been playing on my mind since...

-Yeah.

-..since the last one.

0:22:010:22:03

-I think...

-We need to go and get that poster.

0:22:030:22:05

We're going to go and get that one, I think.

0:22:050:22:07

This is like deja vu.

0:22:070:22:08

Darren also wants to return to the item they saw earlier.

0:22:080:22:12

But the race is on for the Reds. They want to secure that zebra.

0:22:120:22:15

Where's the zebra, where's the zebra?

0:22:150:22:19

Where's the zebra?

0:22:190:22:22

Hello! Sorry...

0:22:220:22:23

Any way it could be £95? Any way at all?

0:22:230:22:26

-He's beautiful.

-Go on, then.

0:22:260:22:28

-Oh, you are a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you.

-Thank you.

0:22:280:22:33

-She's bought the zebra!

-She's bought the zebra.

-I've got the zebra.

0:22:330:22:37

I think I may live to regret this.

0:22:370:22:40

-Now, can we move on and get the third and final item?

-Yes.

0:22:400:22:42

-Yes, let's do that.

-Brilliant, where do you want to go?

0:22:420:22:45

I think... Back to the deckchair.

0:22:450:22:48

-Back to the deckchair?

-Back to the deckchair?

0:22:480:22:50

-Back to the deckchair.

-Back to the deckchair.

-Come on.

0:22:500:22:54

The zebra has finally been rescued with 50 minutes on the clock.

0:22:540:22:57

So, have the Blues rescued the sign?

0:22:570:23:00

-Bingo.

-Yes, it is still there.

-It's still there.

0:23:000:23:02

Hi, we're back again. We're really interested in this one.

0:23:020:23:05

Can you take it any lower?

0:23:050:23:07

-I really can't.

-No?

-90 from 135...

0:23:070:23:11

-Would you take 85?

-Oh, you're killing me!

0:23:110:23:13

As love... As love as a human being, and a British citizen?

0:23:130:23:18

-OK.

-Oh, you are a darling.

0:23:180:23:20

As long as you promise it goes to a good home.

0:23:200:23:22

Absolutely, absolutely.

0:23:220:23:23

-Shall we shake on it?

-Yes.

-Thank you very much.

0:23:230:23:26

-Thank you. Thank you very much.

-That's really kind of you.

0:23:260:23:28

-Thank you so much.

-No problems at all.

-Well, guys, there we go.

0:23:280:23:31

-All done.

-All three items, with a few minutes to spare.

0:23:310:23:35

The Reds will be somewhere lost, panicking,

0:23:350:23:37

so I think it's time for us to go and get a cup of tea.

0:23:370:23:39

-Come on, guys. Let's do it, let's do it.

-Come on, let's go.

0:23:390:23:41

Well done. Well done, indeed. With ten minutes to spare,

0:23:410:23:44

the Blues have done it. So, have the Reds found those chairs?

0:23:440:23:47

The race is on to the finish line.

0:23:470:23:50

-Hello, we're back again.

-We're back!

-30 was her best price.

0:23:500:23:53

-30.

-But you can go and ask.

-I'll go...

-OK.

-Go and ask.

0:23:530:23:57

30 was your best price on the deckchair, wasn't it?

0:23:570:24:01

-I'll take another five off.

-Will you?

0:24:010:24:03

What about if you got two?

0:24:030:24:05

-Ah-ha, that's what I'm going to tell you.

-What?!

0:24:050:24:07

-I've not bought it yet.

-No, no.

-One for 30... Yeah?

0:24:070:24:09

-..or both for 55.

-So, £27.50 each?

0:24:090:24:13

-Yeah, that's a brilliant idea.

-What, the two?

-Yeah.

0:24:130:24:15

-Go and get them, then.

-Happy? Happy?

-Happy.

0:24:150:24:19

Happy. Happy!

0:24:190:24:21

-Happy! That's job done.

-That's job done!

0:24:210:24:24

Yes. Yes, please. We've done it.

0:24:240:24:26

-Brilliant!

-£55 and they are ours.

-Brilliant.

0:24:260:24:29

Testing, testing.

0:24:300:24:31

Fair warning, teams, your 60 minutes are now up.

0:24:310:24:35

Time to stop shopping.

0:24:350:24:37

-I'm so happy.

-Brilliant, I'm so happy.

0:24:370:24:39

Oh, thank you! Thank you!

0:24:390:24:41

Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.

0:24:410:24:44

The Reds were riding high with this leather saddle at £18.

0:24:450:24:49

Kelly just had to have the battered fairground zebra at £95.

0:24:510:24:56

And the chic vintage French deckchairs were £55 for the pair.

0:24:560:25:00

So, Kelly and Andy, I mean, a few problems

0:25:020:25:05

in the agreements department, yes?

0:25:050:25:08

-BOTH:

-Yes.

-I mean, right up to the wire.

0:25:080:25:10

I mean, two buys in the final ten minutes.

0:25:100:25:13

So, Kelly, I need to know what is your favourite buy today.

0:25:130:25:17

Hands down, definitely the zebra, definitely the zebra.

0:25:170:25:21

-The zebra, yeah?

-I love it, I love it so much.

0:25:210:25:23

And what about the one item that you think is going to give you the

0:25:230:25:26

-biggest profit?

-I think it's going to be the saddle.

0:25:260:25:29

OK. Now, what about yourself, Andy?

0:25:290:25:31

I really like the deckchairs.

0:25:310:25:33

-Very comfortable.

-What about the biggest profit?

0:25:330:25:35

-I'm going with the saddle as well.

-You are?

-Yes.

0:25:350:25:38

-OK. So, remind us how much you spent.

-168.

0:25:380:25:42

-Not a bad spend, you know?

-It's OK, isn't it?

0:25:420:25:44

Not a bad spend, because £132, which is coming my way,

0:25:440:25:47

is quite a reasonable amount for you, Caroline, to go and spend,

0:25:470:25:51

-wouldn't you say so?

-Thank you very much. Yes. Excellent. Thank you.

0:25:510:25:55

Got your eye on anything, Caroline?

0:25:550:25:56

Well, I've seen a few things but I haven't quite made my mind up yet.

0:25:560:26:00

OK. While Caroline makes her mind up, though,

0:26:000:26:03

let's remind ourselves what the Blue team bought.

0:26:030:26:06

The mid-20th-century Ekco Bakelite radio was music to their ears

0:26:060:26:11

at £65.

0:26:110:26:13

Will it be plain sailing with this Pilgrim Fathers

0:26:140:26:17

commemorative plate? It was just £21.

0:26:170:26:20

And it was jam and Jerusalem all the way with the vintage wooden sign.

0:26:220:26:26

It cost £85.

0:26:260:26:29

So, Darren and Sarah, you went off for something sparkly,

0:26:290:26:33

and you came up with something completely different.

0:26:330:26:36

Went in with a plan and rearranged the pieces, really.

0:26:360:26:39

-Yes.

-Darren, what do you think is your favourite object?

0:26:390:26:42

-Definitely the plate.

-Oh, right.

0:26:420:26:44

It's going to double, maybe treble, its price.

0:26:440:26:46

Oh, wow, double whammy. So, Sarah, what about your favourite object?

0:26:460:26:49

My favourite object was the radio.

0:26:490:26:51

But do you think it's going to give you the biggest profit?

0:26:510:26:53

-I think it will, yes.

-Oh, you do?

-Yes.

0:26:530:26:56

-Oh, well, that's interesting.

-More than the plate.

0:26:560:26:58

-Well, remind me how much you spent.

-£171.

0:26:580:27:01

That's a pretty reasonable spend.

0:27:010:27:02

-You should be proud of yourselves there.

-Yeah, it was quite good.

0:27:020:27:05

So that means you're going to give me 100 and...

0:27:050:27:07

-29.

-So it doesn't stay with me for more than a few seconds,

0:27:070:27:11

it goes over to Ben for the bonus buy.

0:27:110:27:14

So, any ideas?

0:27:140:27:15

Well, I'm thinking of getting something older.

0:27:150:27:18

Pre-20th century.

0:27:180:27:20

I think going to go, get something really old, that's my plan.

0:27:200:27:22

OK. Well, whilst Ben goes off to spend,

0:27:220:27:25

we're going off to the auction.

0:27:250:27:27

We're in Plymouth. We're in Eldred's auction house

0:27:370:27:40

and I'm joined by Anthony Eldred himself.

0:27:400:27:43

It's a pleasure to welcome you here.

0:27:430:27:44

Thank you. Thank you very much indeed.

0:27:440:27:46

So, starting with the Red team, that's Kelly and Andy.

0:27:460:27:49

They came up with this very impressive-looking English saddle.

0:27:490:27:53

Now, are we in an area where you've got lots and lots of equestrian

0:27:530:27:58

-events happening?

-Oh, absolutely. I mean, we are on Dartmoor.

0:27:580:28:00

-Of course you are.

-So lots of horse events going on,

0:28:000:28:03

lots of interest in saddlery.

0:28:030:28:04

So, what's your estimate on the saddle?

0:28:040:28:06

My estimate, £20-30.

0:28:060:28:09

There's quite a lot of them on the market.

0:28:090:28:10

Oh, right. They did OK, they paid 18 for it.

0:28:100:28:13

-Well, that's a good buy.

-They could be riding high with that one,

0:28:130:28:16

-couldn't they?

-Oh, I hope so.

-Well, let's watch, wait and see.

0:28:160:28:18

Now, the next item... I don't know - the zebra.

0:28:180:28:21

It might have started off on a roundabout or something

0:28:210:28:24

but you don't see many of them.

0:28:240:28:25

I'd like to have seen the whole roundabout

0:28:250:28:28

and I think it probably did come off a roundabout,

0:28:280:28:30

looking at the fixtures, they're quite heavy-duty.

0:28:300:28:32

-Yeah.

-Just the one?

0:28:320:28:34

It's not in the best of condition.

0:28:340:28:36

So I think, again, a modest estimate, 20-30.

0:28:360:28:39

Yeah, it's modest in comparison to what they paid.

0:28:390:28:42

-They paid £95 for it.

-Did they? Did they?

0:28:420:28:45

And the third item are two wood-frame deckchairs.

0:28:450:28:48

-I mean, perfect for summer.

-Yes, we're back in the '60s and '70s.

0:28:480:28:52

Well, there's a pair of these, so what do you think

0:28:520:28:54

-and what's your estimate?

-You can buy a reproduction one for £105.

0:28:540:28:59

-So we thought 20-30 would be right.

-They paid £55 for the pair.

0:28:590:29:04

-I think they're still in with a chance.

-They are.

0:29:040:29:06

Well, it looks as though they may well need to consider

0:29:060:29:09

their bonus buy, so let's take a look at it.

0:29:090:29:12

Well, you left Caroline £132 to go out and spend.

0:29:140:29:18

So, Caroline, what did you spend it on?

0:29:180:29:20

Well...

0:29:200:29:22

You're looking worried.

0:29:220:29:23

OK!

0:29:250:29:27

Do you like?

0:29:270:29:29

It's quite sweet.

0:29:290:29:31

The little illustration's cute.

0:29:310:29:33

I don't think I would have picked it up, but what is it?! What is it?

0:29:330:29:36

Well, it's a baby plate.

0:29:360:29:38

It's about 1930s.

0:29:380:29:40

-OK.

-Made by Shelley.

0:29:400:29:43

And the designer is Mabel Lucie Attwell,

0:29:430:29:47

who's designed this lovely picture here.

0:29:470:29:49

-She did the illustrations for some of the Alice In Wonderland books, didn't she?

-Yes, yeah.

0:29:490:29:52

And then you've got this little rhyme here.

0:29:520:29:55

-Would you like to read it?

-OK.

0:29:550:29:57

"If I had a fairy How jolly it would be

0:29:570:30:00

"I'd bathe him in a tea cup And take him walks with me!"

0:30:000:30:03

-Aww.

-That is quite sweet.

-Isn't that lovely?

0:30:030:30:05

Do you want to have a look? How much did you pay for it?

0:30:050:30:08

I paid £15.

0:30:090:30:11

-Oh, OK.

-And what do you think it will make at auction?

0:30:110:30:15

I think it's going to double its money.

0:30:150:30:17

-Really?

-I do.

0:30:170:30:19

It's certainly interesting.

0:30:190:30:21

Do people collect this sort of thing?

0:30:210:30:23

Yes, yes, there is a following of people

0:30:230:30:25

that collect works by Mabel Lucie Attwell, or Shelley,

0:30:250:30:29

baby memorabilia. I think it's a really sweet thing.

0:30:290:30:33

-Good.

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

0:30:330:30:36

You do that after you've sold the first three lots.

0:30:360:30:40

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

0:30:400:30:42

about Caroline's Shelley baby plate.

0:30:420:30:45

-What's your thoughts?

-Well, Mabel Lucie Attwell,

0:30:470:30:49

we've had them before.

0:30:490:30:51

Normally they're not in as nice a condition as this one.

0:30:510:30:53

The paint falls off them very easily.

0:30:530:30:55

And what's your estimate?

0:30:550:30:57

Well, the market is worldwide now with the internet

0:30:570:31:00

for this sort of thing. My estimate, £10-20.

0:31:000:31:02

10-20?

0:31:020:31:04

OK. Well, they paid 15 for it.

0:31:040:31:06

Well, I like that and I think it deserves to do better.

0:31:060:31:09

But having said that, let's have a look at the Blues,

0:31:090:31:12

this is Darren and Sarah, and their first item is behind you.

0:31:120:31:16

It's the Ekco Bakelite radio receiver.

0:31:160:31:19

The market for vintage radios is there,

0:31:190:31:21

it's very much on the internet.

0:31:210:31:23

You really want colour and shape for these things.

0:31:230:31:26

It's a little bit square.

0:31:260:31:28

But there it is, it's Ekco, good name,

0:31:280:31:30

missing one or two little bits here and there.

0:31:300:31:32

I think it will make between £10-20.

0:31:320:31:35

£10-20. They went and paid £65 for it.

0:31:350:31:38

-Ah.

-Yeah.

-I don't think they're going to get that for it.

0:31:380:31:41

OK. Well, the next item they've got is a Pilgrim Fathers Plymouth plate.

0:31:410:31:46

You can see there, it's all sort of slip trail

0:31:460:31:49

and 350 years since the Mayflower set sail from Plymouth.

0:31:490:31:54

-Indeed. But it's not a rarity.

-No?

0:31:540:31:56

We do see these and there really isn't a lot to say about it.

0:31:560:32:00

It's perfectly decorative if you want to put

0:32:000:32:02

-yet another plate on your dresser.

-Right.

0:32:020:32:05

-So, estimate?

-£5-10.

0:32:050:32:07

5-10. They paid £21 for it.

0:32:070:32:10

So that one may be sailing into the sunset,

0:32:100:32:13

and whether or not it's going to make any money, we shall see,

0:32:130:32:16

we shall see. So, their third item is the sign.

0:32:160:32:19

Stencilled in black and white with "Women's Institute".

0:32:190:32:22

-What do you think?

-I like it.

-Good!

-I think it's a great object.

0:32:220:32:25

Yeah, I can just see that in a big farmhouse, the jam pan underneath.

0:32:250:32:29

I'm hearing Jerusalem as we speak.

0:32:290:32:32

I like that as well.

0:32:320:32:33

So, estimate?

0:32:330:32:35

Between 30 and £50.

0:32:350:32:37

Again, they've gone and paid £85 for that.

0:32:370:32:40

It sounds a lot to me but I wouldn't rule it out.

0:32:400:32:44

-It could well make it.

-I think all things being equal, though,

0:32:440:32:47

they're going to have to consider their bonus buy.

0:32:470:32:50

So let's have a look at it.

0:32:500:32:54

Well, Blues, you left Ben £129 to go out and spend.

0:32:540:32:58

So spend you did, Ben, but what on?

0:32:580:33:00

Well, I wanted to find something old

0:33:000:33:03

and something a bit different from what you'd found on your shop,

0:33:030:33:05

so I found a bit of 18th-century Chinese porcelain.

0:33:050:33:10

-So, Sarah, what do you think of it?

-I think it's cute.

0:33:100:33:13

I like it. I do like it a lot, actually.

0:33:130:33:15

I reckon, when I look at the kind of potting on the bottom here,

0:33:150:33:19

and also having this brown colour at the top, this cafe au lait colour,

0:33:190:33:25

it dates to the late Kangxi period into Yongzheng period,

0:33:250:33:28

which is around about 1735-ish.

0:33:280:33:31

So it's actually quite an old pot

0:33:310:33:35

and it's in perfect condition.

0:33:350:33:36

The handle has no cracks on it, it's all there.

0:33:360:33:40

-So, Darren, what do you think of it?

-I like it now.

0:33:400:33:42

When you first showed it to me, I was a little bit sceptical about it.

0:33:420:33:47

But now you've told me the background about it

0:33:470:33:49

and where it's from, I quite like it. How much did you pay for it?

0:33:490:33:52

£22.

0:33:520:33:54

Ooh, and how much do you think it'll be worth?

0:33:540:33:57

Well, I really hope it should double its money.

0:33:570:33:59

For a bit of porcelain which is almost 300 years old,

0:33:590:34:03

it would be so sad if it only goes for 20 quid

0:34:030:34:07

considering it's perfect. It's a lovely thing.

0:34:070:34:09

-That would be good, then.

-I like it.

-Yeah, I like it as well.

0:34:090:34:12

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

0:34:120:34:16

you do that once you've sold your first three items.

0:34:160:34:18

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

0:34:180:34:22

about Ben's Chinese cup.

0:34:220:34:25

So, this is Ben's bonus buy. What are your thoughts?

0:34:250:34:28

-Where's the saucer?

-Well, there is that, yes, that's very true.

0:34:280:34:33

But it has got some age to it.

0:34:330:34:34

Yes, I mean, there's nothing wrong with it, it's a Chinese cup from

0:34:340:34:37

I think a little later, I think it's late 17th century.

0:34:370:34:41

But again, it is just the cup, so we really need the saucer

0:34:410:34:44

-to make a go of it, I think.

-So, estimate?

0:34:440:34:46

-10-15.

-10-15. He paid £22 for it.

0:34:460:34:50

I still think that 18th-century porcelain is dirt cheap.

0:34:500:34:53

-You're taking the auction today?

-I am and I'm looking forward to it.

0:34:530:34:56

And so are we.

0:34:560:34:57

5, 6...

0:35:010:35:03

How are we feeling, you two?

0:35:030:35:04

I'm so excited. I can't believe this is actually happening.

0:35:040:35:07

-It's brilliant.

-I'm a little nervous.

-A little nervous?

0:35:070:35:09

-Yes.

-That's all right, it's all part and parcel of what we do.

0:35:090:35:12

-Yes, it is.

-But your first item's coming up.

0:35:120:35:14

-It's the leather saddle.

-You paid £18 for it.

0:35:140:35:17

So I think you should be in for a profit on this one.

0:35:170:35:19

-Easy money.

-Either way, it's coming up now.

0:35:190:35:22

Let's have a tenner for it, somebody, quickly.

0:35:220:35:24

10 I'm bid. At 10, 12.

0:35:240:35:25

-Come on.

-Come on.

-15, seated at 15.

0:35:250:35:28

At £15 here at the back with the lady.

0:35:280:35:30

At £15. 18 anywhere?

0:35:300:35:32

-Come on, bit more!

-A bit more!

-At £15, then.

0:35:320:35:35

Nothing online? At £15.

0:35:350:35:37

-Oh, no...

-Quite sure at 15. Last chance, everyone.

0:35:370:35:42

-Oh, such a shame.

-No!

0:35:420:35:44

You paid 18, you just sold it for 15.

0:35:440:35:46

-We're in a minus three situation.

-That's OK.

0:35:460:35:48

It's OK. Well, the zebra toy's coming up now.

0:35:480:35:51

-You paid £95 for it.

-Yes, we did.

0:35:510:35:52

-You get a lot of zebra for £95, don't you?

-You do.

0:35:520:35:55

-You do as well.

-It's beautiful.

0:35:550:35:56

-Tenner for that one, quickly.

-What?!

0:35:560:35:58

Somebody, a tenner. 10 I'm bid. At £10, 12.

0:35:580:36:00

-Two bids, two bids.

-15, 18, 20.

0:36:000:36:01

2. 25. 25, 28.

0:36:030:36:05

£30. And 2.

0:36:050:36:07

35, 38.

0:36:070:36:08

40 now, and 2.

0:36:080:36:11

45. 48. £50.

0:36:110:36:14

-We're getting closer.

-And 5. At £55.

-Come on.

0:36:140:36:17

Any more in the room at 55?

0:36:170:36:18

-He's beautiful!

-55.

-Finished in the room, then?

0:36:180:36:20

£60 online.

0:36:200:36:22

-And

-5.

-At £65.

0:36:220:36:24

70 now.

0:36:240:36:26

-And 5.

-Yes, come on!

-At 75. 80 now.

0:36:260:36:29

-And 5.

-Come on, come on!

-At 85.

-Come on.

-90.

0:36:290:36:32

-And 5.

-Yes!

0:36:320:36:34

At £100.

0:36:340:36:36

-Yes! And

-5.

-Yes!

0:36:360:36:37

At £105. Now 10.

0:36:370:36:39

15. At £115.

0:36:390:36:42

120 online.

0:36:420:36:43

-And 5.

-Yes!

-At 125.

0:36:430:36:46

-Bidding's in the room.

-Yes.

-At 125. It's against you online.

0:36:460:36:49

-Last chance online, then.

-One more.

-One more.

-At £125, I'll sell it.

0:36:490:36:53

All done.

0:36:530:36:56

ALL: Yes! Well done.

0:36:560:36:57

-Thank you! Thank you, world.

-Well done.

-I can't believe it.

0:36:570:37:01

OK. Well, I mean, paid 95 for it, you've just sold it for 125.

0:37:010:37:06

So you've just made yourself £30,

0:37:060:37:08

you were already minus 3, so that puts you in a plus £27 position.

0:37:080:37:12

-That's not too bad.

-That is good.

-We've got your deckchairs coming up.

0:37:120:37:15

-You paid £55.

-Yeah.

0:37:150:37:17

-They're coming up now.

-A tenner for those two, quickly?

0:37:170:37:19

Somebody, 10. 10 I'm bid. At 10, 12.

0:37:190:37:23

At £12 against you.

0:37:230:37:24

Bidding? 15. At 15, 18.

0:37:240:37:27

20 now. At £20. Against the net at £20.

0:37:270:37:31

Bidding's with the lady here.

0:37:310:37:33

At £20, then. It's your last chance,

0:37:330:37:35

I know summer's gone but it's coming again soon.

0:37:350:37:38

At £20. Are you all done at 20?

0:37:380:37:41

-Oh!

-What a shame.

0:37:410:37:44

So, there you go, you just lost yourselves £35 there.

0:37:440:37:49

You were plus 27 ahead, so you are minus £8, if my maths is correct.

0:37:490:37:54

So, you've still got the option of Caroline's bonus buy.

0:37:540:37:58

-Are we going to go for it or what?

-I think we have to, don't we?

0:37:580:38:01

-I think we're going to. Yeah.

-We can't lose money.

0:38:010:38:03

-Let's go for it, let's go for it.

-Excellent, fighting talk.

-Decided.

0:38:030:38:06

Tenner starts that one quickly.

0:38:060:38:08

Nobody? 10 I'm bid. At £10. Here at 10. 12 if you want it?

0:38:080:38:12

At £10, 12.

0:38:120:38:14

At £12. Against the net at £12.

0:38:140:38:17

-Bidding? 15.

-It's so cheap!

0:38:170:38:19

We want more. Come on, we want more.

0:38:190:38:22

At £15 only, then. Third row. Last chance, everyone,

0:38:220:38:26

I'm selling it at £15.

0:38:260:38:27

Come on!

0:38:270:38:29

-Oh!

-Sorry, guys.

-That's all right.

-No harm, no foul.

0:38:290:38:34

£15, broke even on that one.

0:38:340:38:37

So we're left with a grand total

0:38:370:38:41

-of minus eight.

-Never mind.

-It could have been a lot worse.

0:38:410:38:45

And I can tell you now, that can be a winning score.

0:38:450:38:49

OK? But, as always, not a word to the Blues.

0:38:500:38:53

Sealed.

0:38:530:38:55

Hello, Blues. Now, how are you feeling?

0:39:010:39:03

-Excited.

-Yeah.

-I can't wait.

0:39:030:39:05

It is going to be interesting, I think. Very interesting.

0:39:050:39:07

And we're all excited. I can assure you we're all excited.

0:39:070:39:10

What about auctions, are you regulars at auctions?

0:39:100:39:12

No, I've never been to one.

0:39:120:39:13

I've got a funny feeling after this you'll be going to them regularly,

0:39:130:39:16

I really am. Your first item's coming up, it's the Ekco-type radio,

0:39:160:39:20

the Bakelite one. You paid £65 for it.

0:39:200:39:24

And it is coming up now.

0:39:240:39:25

A tenner for that one, quickly.

0:39:250:39:27

Somebody, 10, surely, for the Bakelite radio.

0:39:270:39:29

5 I'm bid. 6. At £6, there.

0:39:290:39:33

-That's so cheap.

-At £6 only. 8.

0:39:330:39:35

Are you bidding or not? 10.

0:39:350:39:37

-12.

-Keep it going.

0:39:370:39:38

14. At £14, there, standing.

0:39:380:39:42

Quite sure at £14, then?

0:39:420:39:44

Take more if I can.

0:39:440:39:45

Are you all done at £14?

0:39:450:39:47

Last chance, everyone. You're out online. 14 it is, then.

0:39:470:39:50

Oh, such a shame.

0:39:520:39:55

Don't be down. £14, so it gives us a rolling total of minus 51.

0:39:550:39:59

OK? Everything to play for.

0:39:590:40:01

Now, we've got our Pilgrim Fathers Plymouth plate coming up.

0:40:010:40:04

You paid £21 for it. And it's coming up now.

0:40:040:40:07

A fiver for this one, somebody?

0:40:070:40:08

5, 6, 8, 10.

0:40:080:40:11

12. At £12 here.

0:40:110:40:14

15 now. At £15.

0:40:140:40:17

-18. Third row now.

-18...

0:40:170:40:20

At £18 in front.

0:40:200:40:22

-20. At £20. Two of you want it.

-Oh, come on. Go one more.

0:40:220:40:25

-At £20 online.

-Yes!

0:40:250:40:27

-22.

-22, profit, profit, profit.

0:40:270:40:29

At £22, against the net now. 25.

0:40:290:40:32

At 25 here. 8 if you want it, sir.

0:40:320:40:35

At £25.

0:40:350:40:36

Bidding's online. Quite sure?

0:40:360:40:39

Last chance, then? At £25, I'll sell it.

0:40:390:40:42

-Yes!

-£25!

0:40:440:40:45

Well done - a profit.

0:40:450:40:48

Well, that's £4 profit, which gives us a rolling total now of minus 47.

0:40:480:40:52

We're chipping away at it, aren't we?

0:40:520:40:54

And the next item that's coming up is the Women's Institute sign.

0:40:540:40:57

£20 at that one. At £20. 2 anywhere?

0:40:570:41:00

At 22, 5, 8, 30.

0:41:000:41:03

2, 5, 8, 40.

0:41:030:41:06

2, 5, 8, 50.

0:41:060:41:09

-5, 60.

-Yes!

0:41:090:41:11

-At £60, bidding's on my right here.

-Go on...

0:41:110:41:13

-You're all out before, then.

-Give it another.

0:41:130:41:15

At £60. Nothing online?

0:41:150:41:17

All done at 60, then.

0:41:170:41:18

Oh! Sold for 60.

0:41:200:41:21

Now, that's a loss of £25,

0:41:210:41:23

which brings your total to minus £72.

0:41:230:41:27

-But you have got your bonus buy to go for.

-Yep.

0:41:270:41:29

-The decision is yours.

-Yeah, we're going to go with it, aren't we?

-Definitely.

0:41:290:41:32

-We have every faith in you, Ben.

-Yeah.

0:41:320:41:34

-Fingers crossed.

-No need for fingers crossed.

0:41:340:41:36

-Good old Ben.

-No need to.

-Right, it's coming up now.

0:41:360:41:40

I'm bid a fiver for it. At £5. 6 if you want it.

0:41:400:41:43

At £5, six?

0:41:430:41:45

-8. At £8. 10.

-Come on.

0:41:450:41:47

-At £10.

-We know it's well worth the money.

0:41:470:41:49

Against the internet at £10. 12, if you want it.

0:41:490:41:51

12. 14.

0:41:510:41:53

At £14.

0:41:530:41:56

Against the net, then, at £14.

0:41:560:41:58

-All finished at £14. I'll sell it.

-No money.

-Come on, room.

0:41:580:42:03

Oh, £14.

0:42:030:42:05

-OK.

-Never mind.

-It's a minus 8, which takes us up to

0:42:050:42:09

a rolling total of minus £80.

0:42:090:42:12

That could be a winning score. OK?

0:42:120:42:16

-So, remember, not a word to the Reds.

-Not a word.

0:42:160:42:20

Well, the results are in.

0:42:270:42:29

But it does grieve me to say that I'm not going to be handing out any

0:42:290:42:32

money, because neither team made a profit.

0:42:320:42:36

But we do have a winner and we do have a runner-up.

0:42:360:42:39

And our runners-up today, with a loss of £80,

0:42:390:42:43

-is our Blue team.

-Oh!

-Yes!

0:42:430:42:45

Oh, what a shock.

0:42:450:42:47

I think it's fair to say the Bakelite radio

0:42:470:42:50

-didn't do you any good, did it?

-No.

-Nah.

-It really didn't.

0:42:500:42:52

-But have you had fun?

-Yes, we have.

-Yeah, great fun.

0:42:520:42:54

-We've had really good fun.

-Because that's what it's all about.

0:42:540:42:57

-Absolutely.

-Yeah.

0:42:570:42:58

-So, turning to the Reds, with a mere loss...

-Yes!

0:42:580:43:01

..of £8. I mean, let's be honest,

0:43:010:43:04

-your zebra did you proud today.

-Yes, it did.

-Certainly did.

0:43:040:43:07

I'm going to buy so many more zebras now.

0:43:070:43:09

That's just me done.

0:43:090:43:11

-Have you had fun?

-It's been amazing.

0:43:110:43:13

-It's been brilliant, yeah.

-Brilliant.

0:43:130:43:14

-You've enjoyed yourselves.

-Thank you so much.

-Pleasure.

0:43:140:43:17

So, that's it for now.

0:43:170:43:18

But, in the meantime, you can follow us on Twitter
