0:00:02 > 0:00:07Today we're in Devon, in the picturesque town of Topsham.
0:00:07 > 0:00:11But then again, in earlier times, it's also been called...
0:00:11 > 0:00:16Apsam, Apsham, Toppeshore, Toppeshant,
0:00:16 > 0:00:18and Toppesham.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22It's thought the name "Top" comes from an Anglo-Saxon landowner
0:00:22 > 0:00:25and "Ham" is a name for a small village or settlement.
0:00:25 > 0:00:26Got it.
0:00:26 > 0:00:31Now, there'll be no "hamming" it up today, only plenty of "top" profits!
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Who writes this stuff?!
0:00:33 > 0:00:34Let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Topsham Quay Antiques Centre, our hunting ground for the day.
0:01:01 > 0:01:0465 dealers, three floors,
0:01:04 > 0:01:07so plenty of room for our teams to rummage around.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10As always, they've got £300, one hour,
0:01:10 > 0:01:13and the quest for three items that will bring them a profit at auction.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15So, before we meet our teams,
0:01:15 > 0:01:17let's have a look at what's coming up.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20The Reds are calm and collected.
0:01:20 > 0:01:21We've got all the time in the world now!
0:01:21 > 0:01:23- Absolutely.- So, shall we go all the way to the top?
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- I think we should.- Let's do that.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27But the Blues lose their cool.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29So, we've got so little time left!
0:01:29 > 0:01:31This is very stressful!
0:01:31 > 0:01:33And at auction, it's anything but relaxing.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Oh, it's so close!
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- Last chance in the room.- Come on! - Go on, go on, everyone!
0:01:38 > 0:01:41But that's all coming up a little bit later on.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45First it's time to meet our teams and today it's a family affair.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48For the Reds we have married couple Anne and Chris,
0:01:48 > 0:01:51and for the Blues, mother and son Bella and Rory.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- Welcome, everyone. Hello!- Hi!- Hello!
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Great response! Right, I'm turning my back on you, Blues,
0:01:56 > 0:01:57and I'm going to start with the Reds.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59So, Chris, tell me, how did you meet?
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Well, we met 30 years ago at a whist drive.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05But it took me ten years to ask her out.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07As a retired WREN, it was a bit frightening.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11But then within months, we were actually married.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14OK, well, things are obviously going strong because 20 years later,
0:02:14 > 0:02:17you're still married. And in fact, you are enduring the toughest test -
0:02:17 > 0:02:18you work together too, don't you?
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Absolutely, yes.
0:02:20 > 0:02:21Tell me about that, Chris.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Yeah, we run an accountancy practice.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27It's all going well. And Anne's known as the Rottweiler.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28OK, great!
0:02:28 > 0:02:29And are you a Rottweiler, Anne?
0:02:29 > 0:02:32When it comes to collecting money in, yes!
0:02:32 > 0:02:33So that's your main role, is...?
0:02:33 > 0:02:36I do the admin and the business accounts and collect the money in
0:02:36 > 0:02:38from clients and that sort of thing.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40I am known to ring up farmers and say,
0:02:40 > 0:02:42"Do I really have to come down and chase you round the field
0:02:42 > 0:02:43"to get some money out of you?"
0:02:43 > 0:02:45And one actually texted me back the other day saying,
0:02:45 > 0:02:47"Come and chase me, then!"
0:02:47 > 0:02:48Oh, I like your style!
0:02:48 > 0:02:51So, tell me how you keep busy outside of work.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54I'm deputy mayor of Newton Abbott and will be mayor -
0:02:54 > 0:02:57I'm mayor elect from May 2017.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Wow. You've only got an hour and it's all about tactics, sometimes,
0:03:00 > 0:03:04so how do you think you'll play the game?
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Well...
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Anne's always after a bargain.
0:03:08 > 0:03:09Mmm, OK.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10And who's going to be doing the haggling?
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- Think it's me!- Oh, wait a minute, yeah, the Rottweiler!
0:03:13 > 0:03:15- Yeah!- Absolutely.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Best tell the dealers that's your nickname -
0:03:17 > 0:03:18that'll put them on the back foot.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Well, I can't wait to see how your hour unfolds.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Sounds like it's going to be intimidating, if anything.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Right, let's move on to your competitors, the Blues.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Rory, coming straight to you.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32Tell me about your current studies in events management.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Yeah, I'm doing events management at university
0:03:34 > 0:03:37and I'm currently managing some big equestrian events,
0:03:37 > 0:03:41including the Europeans for the Mounted Games Championship for 2017.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44And you're running an event not only that you love,
0:03:44 > 0:03:46but one that you know extremely well.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48So, tell us about the mounted games.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Yeah, so I've competed in mounted games near to all my life.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52And it's kind of stunt riding,
0:03:52 > 0:03:55jumping on and off horses while they're galloping along.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57I'm currently the British champion in the sport.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00And I was the European champion. I'm not at the moment.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Well, it sounds like Rory was, you know,
0:04:02 > 0:04:04destined to get into the mounted games because of course
0:04:04 > 0:04:07you're involved in it too, Bella. Tell us about your role.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10I've trained since I was 18 and I train currently
0:04:10 > 0:04:12the Scottish national team.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15I've trained the England team in the past, Great Britain team.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18So you're brilliant with horses, you can coach them no bother.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20And are you also into coaching cats?
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- There's something going on here. - I have this cat, April,
0:04:23 > 0:04:24and she will do loads of tricks.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28She'll sit on command, do a high five, clap,
0:04:28 > 0:04:31and she does quite a good Michael Jackson impression, actually, as well.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- She does, yeah.- Is there any animal you can't coach?
0:04:34 > 0:04:35Well, I'll give most a go!
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Sounds very competitive.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41So are you going to bring that competitive edge to Bargain Hunting?
0:04:41 > 0:04:44- Yeah.- I like haggling, so, yes.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46It could be interesting.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48- Yeah.- I don't think the Reds have an awful lot to worry about,
0:04:48 > 0:04:49but who knows?
0:04:49 > 0:04:53Now, you won't be able to buy anything at any fair without money,
0:04:53 > 0:04:55so let me give you each £300.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- Anne, please.- Thank you. - £300 for the Reds.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00And, Rory, £300 for the Blues.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Now, your experts can't wait to meet you, so off you go.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04Get to those shops!
0:05:04 > 0:05:07We've got the Rottweilers versus the Riders.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Who will win the race?
0:05:10 > 0:05:11Time to meet today's experts.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Swotting up for the Reds, it's Gary Pe.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21And hoping to strike a chord with the Blues, Danny Sebastian.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25So, Chris and Anne.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- Yeah.- On this beautiful day, what are we going to be buying?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31I would like a bit of WRENS memorabilia, if I can find it.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33- Bella?- Well, I love Art Deco.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35China, preferably local.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37I'd like to look for some unusual house ornaments,
0:05:37 > 0:05:40but I'd like to keep a particular eye out for a garnet.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Right, teams,
0:05:42 > 0:05:43your time starts now!
0:05:43 > 0:05:46One hour. Let's go buying!
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Let's get in there, have a look, and hopefully beat the Reds.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Better get inside, then!
0:05:51 > 0:05:52Best of luck, teams.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53There's three floors here.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Let's go to the top. It's got to be the best, the penthouse.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Go to the top, eh? Probably the most expensive, careful!
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- Let's see what we can find. - We've only got £300!
0:06:00 > 0:06:02The Blues are heading upwards,
0:06:02 > 0:06:04but the Reds have spotted something already.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Oh, I like him.
0:06:06 > 0:06:07- The elephant?- Yeah.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- OK.- He's lovely.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- I was trying to see... - You've seen something on it?
0:06:12 > 0:06:14- Which one?- I was trying to see the mark on it.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16It's got a London mark.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Well, Jan Plichta was a London wholesaler who bought
0:06:19 > 0:06:20unmarked Wemyss ware in bulk
0:06:20 > 0:06:23and had them stamped with his name.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24And a price of?
0:06:24 > 0:06:28- £28.- 28. I think that's at the top of its price range.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30That's something you can think about.
0:06:30 > 0:06:31Yeah, OK.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- I mean, we've got the whole place. - Yeah, we've only just got in.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Good idea, Reds. No need to rush just yet.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38The Blues have eyed something too.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40I like the little fan brooch.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Is it silver? Which it's not.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Art Nouveau style.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46No, very decorative, but we've got to remember,
0:06:46 > 0:06:48we're in a competition here.
0:06:48 > 0:06:49- Yeah, yeah.- We've got to buy right.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- Totally, totally.- And beat the Reds.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54These Blues are in fighting spirit.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55But what have the Reds seen?
0:06:55 > 0:06:57I like the colours and the shape of it.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- I like the green.- You do, as well? OK.- Yes, I like that.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02£88 to start off with.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06And it is a Minton, a good brand, commanding good prices.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09- Yeah.- Sort of 1920s, 1930s.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12The important thing is to check the handles.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13- Yes.- To see...
0:07:13 > 0:07:15That rings nice.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17..that nothing's been repaired.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19I think we should negotiate on it.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21- Yeah.- I like it.
0:07:21 > 0:07:22- You like it.- I like it.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25You like it. Anne, you're the negotiator.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26- Oh, ho, ho!- Good luck.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28OK. Thank you.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31So it's over to Anne to wrangle the best deal.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Meanwhile, over in the Blue corner...
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Not necessarily a great deal here, I think.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- Right, good, right, onwards! - I think it's all quite nice,
0:07:39 > 0:07:40- all quite beautiful.- Yeah.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42But nothing's jumping out at me.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- OK.- No joy for the Blues.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46Now, how's Anne getting on?
0:07:46 > 0:07:48How are you?
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Fine, thank you. What would be the best price on that?
0:07:51 > 0:07:53We'd do it for 78.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54You wouldn't think about 60?
0:07:54 > 0:07:55I can find out.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58If you don't ask, you don't get.
0:07:58 > 0:08:0070 is the rock bottom.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- OK, my dear.- Would she do it for 69?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- Oh, sneaky Anne! - Would you do it for 69?
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Job done. Go back to bed, my dear.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09Thank you very much.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13We heard - you were good.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15And you got that extra pound.
0:08:15 > 0:08:16- Yeah.- Let's go for number two.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18- Fantastic. - In a more leisurely fashion.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20- OK.- Yes.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22So, the pressure's off for the Reds
0:08:22 > 0:08:24after dishing up their first item within
0:08:24 > 0:08:25the first five minutes.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Now, how are the Blues faring?
0:08:28 > 0:08:30We want to get something under our belts, don't we, Mum?
0:08:30 > 0:08:31Let's not panic, it'll be fine.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33- Absolutely!- It's going to be absolutely fine!
0:08:33 > 0:08:36So, not quite as leisurely as the Reds, then!
0:08:36 > 0:08:40- Seen anything?- Well, these are lovely perfume bottles.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42They're all glass, modern glass.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43Is that a baby's rattle?
0:08:43 > 0:08:45What are you thinking? Talk to me.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Well, it's a bit unusual, you know, it's not your classic, sort of,
0:08:48 > 0:08:52just a little cuddly animal or a piece of modern jewellery.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53What do you think, Rory?
0:08:53 > 0:08:56I'm still drawn to the original perfume thing you were looking at.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58OK, so there's obviously a lot of interest in this cabinet.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Shall I swan off and see if I can find somebody who can open the cabinet?
0:09:02 > 0:09:03Yes. That'd be lovely.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Mmm. That's a strange-looking rattle, Blues!
0:09:07 > 0:09:08- Hey!- Hello.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10- Hiya.- I've brought along Lavinia.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Can we have a look at the perfume bottle, top right?
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- This one?- Please. - Not quite a garnet.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19- No.- But it is a stone.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21We're dealing with a modern piece here and really,
0:09:21 > 0:09:25it's more for decorative purposes than what it is for, you know,
0:09:25 > 0:09:28looking at a real antique.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30I'm not sold on it, but I do like it.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Shall we have a look at the rattle?
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- Yeah, go on, then.- And then we could always come back to those.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Gosh, it's sharp. It's like a football rattle!
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Oh, OK.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41In actual fact, it's a Buddhist prayer wheel.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43THEY LAUGH
0:09:43 > 0:09:46These Tibetan prayer wheels used to contain a roll of sacred mantras.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Spinning the wheel would release the prayers into the universe.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51- Well spotted.- Oh!- Let's leave it.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- Come on. Let's go. - All right, we'll leave it.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55Good choice there, Rory.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Now, how are the Reds getting on?
0:09:57 > 0:09:59I've spotted something else on here, Gary.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00Oh, well.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02A woman of taste.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Art Nouveau pewter oil lamp.
0:10:05 > 0:10:06Oh, go on, Anne, you know you want to.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- Didn't work!- Didn't work?
0:10:09 > 0:10:10- Magic lamp.- No genie!
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- Oh!- No genie!- It's very much in the Liberty style.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15- This is German.- Oh, right.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19They command almost as much prices as Liberty.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21There you go. Kayserzinn.
0:10:21 > 0:10:234439.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25That would be the model number.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29- Right.- Now, the only thing that bothers me about this is this top,
0:10:29 > 0:10:32which appears to be of wood.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35This one here, which sort of holds the wick, is still there.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37So it would have been an oil lamp?
0:10:37 > 0:10:41- Yes.- Yeah.- It would have been used probably by smokers.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43- Yeah.- You light that up, keep it lit.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47I've seen these go in perfect condition for over £100.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51- Wow.- Despite the fact that this might not be original,
0:10:51 > 0:10:52that is negated by the fact
0:10:52 > 0:10:56that the price is reasonable to start off with.
0:10:56 > 0:10:57Well, you like it, don't you?
0:10:57 > 0:11:00I like it. Are you going to have a go at bargaining, doing the...?
0:11:00 > 0:11:02- No.- He's too shy, he told me.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04- It's me again.- Yeah?- OK.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06This should be a walk in the park for Anne!
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Albert, I'm here again.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11I found this dirty old lamp, hasn't got a genie in it.
0:11:11 > 0:11:1425 would be our normal best.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- I was thinking more 18. - She's cheeky!
0:11:18 > 0:11:20I can do it for 23.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22And take a chance that she doesn't hit me!
0:11:22 > 0:11:24OK, we'll do 23.
0:11:24 > 0:11:25She's good, isn't she?
0:11:25 > 0:11:28That Anne does not let go until she's got what she wants!
0:11:28 > 0:11:29Magic, well done.
0:11:29 > 0:11:30- 23.- Excellent.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32- Brilliant.- That all right? - There you go,
0:11:32 > 0:11:33number two in less than 20 minutes.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37- I know.- Hey, we've got pottery, we've got metal,
0:11:37 > 0:11:39perhaps a bit of glass this time?
0:11:39 > 0:11:40- We might do.- Let's go.
0:11:40 > 0:11:41- Let's go!- Fast workers.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Congratulations, Reds.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44That's two in the bag.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47And they're not the only ones with glass on their minds.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49You do like glass, don't you, Rory?
0:11:49 > 0:11:51You pretty much know it's a ship's decanter when you've got a big,
0:11:51 > 0:11:53flat base.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- Right.- Because I suppose with the ship's swaying...
0:11:56 > 0:11:57It's quite a good price.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59- Is it very modern?- Well, it is.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01That's exactly what I was just going to show you.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03It's not blown glass, you know, it's pressed glass.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- Yeah.- Because you can see where the two pieces were pressed together.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07Let's just see if there's any damage.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Damage is what we just don't want in this game.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11I don't think there's any.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- I'm happy with this.- Look, we're going to go for this, Danny,
0:12:14 > 0:12:16if I can get a couple of quid off it.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17Well, it sounds good.
0:12:17 > 0:12:18- Yeah, I'm up for that.- OK.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Keep on looking at it, I'll go and have a look,
0:12:20 > 0:12:22see if I can find her again.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23- All right, all right. - Give us a minute.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25The Blues are getting decisive.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Or are they panic buying?
0:12:27 > 0:12:28Brilliant. I've brought Lavinia along.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- Hello, Lavinia.- Hello, Lavinia.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31Thank you for coming over.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33We quite like this.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35But 12...
0:12:35 > 0:12:37what's the best you can do on that?
0:12:37 > 0:12:38I can do 10.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Is that the right top?
0:12:40 > 0:12:43The cut glass is just a little bit bigger on the top than what it is on
0:12:43 > 0:12:46the decanter. I mean, could you do a little bit better?
0:12:46 > 0:12:47It does have to go to auction.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49- It would be really great. - I can probably go to nine.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Oh, yes, yes, yes.
0:12:51 > 0:12:52- I'm happy with that. - Marvellous, thank you.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- Shake the lady's hand! - Thank you very much, cheers.
0:12:55 > 0:12:56Fantastic! One under the belt.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Well done, come on, come on.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00I think there's about 25 minutes gone, though,
0:13:00 > 0:13:02- so we do need to step up a little bit.- We do.
0:13:02 > 0:13:03That's right, Danny.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07The Blues have set sail at last with their first item for £9.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Now, while the teams carry on shopping, I'm off for a wander.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Topsham was an important shipbuilding port.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Between 1804 and 1814,
0:13:22 > 0:13:2534 vessels were built for the Royal Navy
0:13:25 > 0:13:27and I'm here at the town's museum
0:13:27 > 0:13:30to find out specifically about one of them, the HMS Terror.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36And I'm joined here today by local historian Ed Williams-Hawkes.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Now, here is a model of HMS Terror.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42So tell me, what's so special about the ship and her maker?
0:13:42 > 0:13:47Well, this boat was built in Topsham in 1813 by Robert Davey.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51Robert Davey built 19 warships for Her Majesty's Navy.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55They paid Davey £7,000 to build the vessel.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57She was built double strength.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Those mortars weighed three tonnes.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02And I believe there are records that show that Terror was built here
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- in Topsham?- One of the very, very few records
0:14:05 > 0:14:07is right in front of you here.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- OK.- The Davey Memorandum Book.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12And it actually mentions Terror.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13There it is, number 13.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Terror. Bomb.
0:14:15 > 0:14:16Unlucky for some.
0:14:16 > 0:14:17Unlucky for some, yes!
0:14:17 > 0:14:21So her life began as a naval ship, seeing active service,
0:14:21 > 0:14:24but then she moved into polar expeditions?
0:14:24 > 0:14:28When the Napoleonic Wars finished, a bit of ice exploration,
0:14:28 > 0:14:29suitable vessel.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Under Franklin with HMS Erebus,
0:14:32 > 0:14:35designed to find the Northwest Passage
0:14:35 > 0:14:39because it was a shorter trip round to the Orient and elsewhere.
0:14:39 > 0:14:44And her and Erebus went into the ice, got trapped in the ice.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Not a lot is known because they went missing,
0:14:47 > 0:14:50other than certain relics being found.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54But we have one relic here which has been lent by the Fairlynch Museum
0:14:54 > 0:14:58in Budleigh Salterton of a flag that was found.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01So whilst this flag is thought to be a relic from Terror,
0:15:01 > 0:15:04I believe that a few more are about to be uncovered?
0:15:04 > 0:15:09Yes. In 2016, September 3rd, I believe,
0:15:09 > 0:15:14a Canadian expedition found HMS Terror
0:15:14 > 0:15:17in a bay called Terror Bay.
0:15:17 > 0:15:22She had been lying on the bottom since 1848 or thereabouts,
0:15:22 > 0:15:25and in marvellous condition.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29All the hatches are closed and everything was buttoned up
0:15:29 > 0:15:32so they could return, maybe, to the vessel.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36The masts' bases are intact, the chimney,
0:15:36 > 0:15:38because she had a steam engine in her,
0:15:38 > 0:15:41but they abandoned all that because it was locked in the ice.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44So how unusual is that, to abandon a ship?
0:15:44 > 0:15:49Well, the irony is that there were over 60 expeditions in later times
0:15:49 > 0:15:51looking for Terror and Erebus
0:15:51 > 0:15:53and a lot of the vessels looking abandoned...
0:15:55 > 0:15:58..because they got locked in the ice, the same as Terror and Erebus.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01And some of them walked home.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04But the guys from Terror and Erebus, I'm afraid not.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07So really, the sole survivor was the Terror herself?
0:16:07 > 0:16:09- Topsham's Terror.- Mmm. Well, Ed,
0:16:09 > 0:16:13thank you so much - what a fascinating and TERRIFIC story!
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Back to the shopping, and the teams are halfway through.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26The Reds are ahead with two items in the bag, the Blues only have one.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29So, team, I think we need to explore the other floors, don't you?
0:16:29 > 0:16:30- I think we do.- Yeah.
0:16:30 > 0:16:31We've got all the time in the world now.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33- Absolutely.- So shall we go all the way to the top?
0:16:33 > 0:16:36- I think we should.- Let's do that. Yeah?- Yeah.- Come on.
0:16:36 > 0:16:37What do you think of this?
0:16:37 > 0:16:39What have you found, Bella?
0:16:39 > 0:16:43The necklace. But is it really '60s, or is it yesterday's?
0:16:43 > 0:16:46It's coming across to me as just costume jewellery.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50- Fine, OK.- And I just can't get no authenticity that it is 1960s.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53- Yeah.- I think we can find a nicer piece of jewellery
0:16:53 > 0:16:56or something that's going to find a bit more money in auction.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57Come on, let's move on.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59- Right.- Yes, crack on, Blues!
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Danny's right. I'm sure there could be better options out there.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05This is a veritable Aladdin's cave.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- Mmm.- You've got a set of eyes on you, haven't you?
0:17:09 > 0:17:10I think it's ugly.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11Well, it's labelled Edwardian.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13- Right.- It's such a bright red.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15And therefore I think instant value.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16What is it, a dressing table?
0:17:16 > 0:17:18It comes across to me as a nice little lady's desk.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20- Yeah.- But at the same time, with the mirror,
0:17:20 > 0:17:22I'm thinking, is it a bit of a dressing table?
0:17:22 > 0:17:24- Yeah.- It can actually work out for the better, really,
0:17:24 > 0:17:26because you've got two in one.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28- I hate it.- You hate it?- I hate it.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29Don't hold back, Bella!
0:17:30 > 0:17:33It is the wrong colour, to be fair, because we're the Blue team.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Fair enough, Blues. But better step it up!
0:17:36 > 0:17:38There's 35 minutes gone, guys, we've had a good look.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40I know there's...
0:17:40 > 0:17:43bits and pieces that I'm seeing you smile at.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46- Yeah!- Can we nail something?- No!
0:17:46 > 0:17:48I sense panic setting in!
0:17:48 > 0:17:50- What are you looking at? - I was looking at the elephant.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Very much in the Lalique style, but they're not.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- They're not, are they?- There's just so many things to take in here.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57There is.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Just spotted this trolley here, actually,
0:17:59 > 0:18:01which I'd like to have a closer look at.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Yeah, OK. What's the money on it?
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Mahogany folding top trolley, £38.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07It doesn't seem too bad for what it is.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10I wonder if we can remove this mirror so we can have a proper look at it.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12It's like a tea trolley, isn't it?
0:18:12 > 0:18:16- Yeah.- This is a useful, practical piece of furniture.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18The wheels are very, very worn.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22- Very worn. - The wheels are telling me 1950s.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25- I think that's quite fun. - Straight away the wheels are telling me 1950s.
0:18:25 > 0:18:26- OK.- I quite like that.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29£40, £50 is probably going to be its market at auction.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32What we need to do is find out whether or not there is a reduction.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Do you want to go off and see whether you can get a...?
0:18:34 > 0:18:36- I'm on it.- OK.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38So, while Bella skips off, over with the Reds...
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Chris spotted this.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Oh, a bit of poker work.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44It's a nice-looking stool.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- It is, isn't it? - Yeah. 1920s, I would think.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49How's this been made?
0:18:49 > 0:18:52So that was made from burning pokers.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- Right.- That detail. It would take hours to create this.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57- It's not English, is it? - It is.- It is English?- Really?
0:18:57 > 0:18:59- Yes, absolutely.- Oh, wow.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Spinning stools had low legs and long,
0:19:01 > 0:19:03thin backs to support the spine.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05- What do you think?- I like that.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07What's the price? 48.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11- It's not a bad price.- We could think about that, couldn't we?
0:19:11 > 0:19:13- Mmm.- You like it, but we've got time.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15- Absolutely. - So it's one for the back burner.
0:19:15 > 0:19:16- Yeah?- Yeah, definitely.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18- OK.- Let's go.- OK.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21So, a potential third item for the Reds.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24How's Bella getting on with negotiating with Albert?
0:19:24 > 0:19:26- I could do 34. - Oh, we were hoping a little...
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Because Danny didn't think it would make more than 35 at auction.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32You are the nicest person,
0:19:32 > 0:19:34this is the nicest antique shop I've ever been in, actually.
0:19:34 > 0:19:35I shall definitely come again.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Flattery will get you everywhere, Bella!
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Or possibly nowhere!
0:19:40 > 0:19:42I'm getting a ringing tone, but that's all.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43We've got so little time left!
0:19:43 > 0:19:45This is very stressful!
0:19:45 > 0:19:50Is it possible at all that we could say £30, cash money?
0:19:50 > 0:19:51- Ah.- Yes, we'll do 30.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52Ah, thank you so much.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Fantastic. We've got a deal. Thank you very much.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56- Thank you, sir. - That's our second buy.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- Brilliant.- I think it must be round about the 40-minute mark.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02- OK. We're OK. - We're cooking with gas.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04- Come on, onward, onward! - Brilliant!
0:20:04 > 0:20:08So, the £30 trolley purchase levels the Blues with the Reds.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10It's now even-stevens with 20 minutes remaining.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16So, how close are the Reds to finding their third item?
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Do you like a bit of Mdina glass from Malta?
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- I quite like Mdina. - That doesn't do anything for me.
0:20:21 > 0:20:22- No?- OK, fine.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24- In which case, move on.- Onwards.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26I quite like the Clarice Cliff,
0:20:26 > 0:20:28but I don't know if there's a profit in it.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30I thought £45 seemed quite good.
0:20:30 > 0:20:31£45 each.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- Are they, each? - Each, individually marked up.
0:20:34 > 0:20:3545 each, that's too much.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37- That is too much.- Yeah.- Onward.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Onwards for the Blues.
0:20:39 > 0:20:40But backwards for the Reds.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Do you know what? I think we ought to make a decision
0:20:43 > 0:20:44between the elephant and the chair.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Because the price was fairly good on that elephant.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Well, we might be able to do a deal with Albert.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- It's your turn! - I think it's your turn!
0:20:52 > 0:20:54- OK.- So, shall we go and have a look?
0:20:54 > 0:20:55Come on then, let's go.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Good thinking, Reds.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00With only 15 minutes remaining, things might get a bit stressful.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02No, no. Backwards, I'm going backwards.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04OK. There's decanters everywhere.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07I know, that's what I'm worried about.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Not having second thoughts on your decanter, I hope?
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Now the Reds have returned to the first little elephant they saw.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15- Have a look.- Oh, wow.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17He's beautiful.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20It's very much in the style of Wemyss.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24- Yes, it is. - A very expensive Scottish pottery.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28When a team is this much enthralled by a piece like this,
0:21:28 > 0:21:30then I think we should go for it.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34Albert, what's the best on that elephant?
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Well, normally we'd do 25.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39But I will find out what we can do better, shall I?
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Oh, thank you, that would be really kind.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43It's looking hopeful for the Reds.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45But what about the Blues?
0:21:45 > 0:21:47They have less than ten minutes remaining.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48Don't forget, the clock doesn't stop ticking.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50I know that, I know that.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51You're stressing me out!
0:21:51 > 0:21:53I'm not sure that's helping, Danny!
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Keep relaxed, cool and collected.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57- Loads of time.- Loads!
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- Loads of time!- There doesn't really seem to be a lot on this stall.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03- 480 seconds, Mum, there's plenty of time.- OK.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04Hang on in there, Blues.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Are the Reds about to seal the deal on their final item?
0:22:07 > 0:22:0819.
0:22:09 > 0:22:1119.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12I think that's pretty fair.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14- That's a third off. - Yes. It's lovely.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16- Thank you, Albert. - Have we found our third?
0:22:16 > 0:22:18I think we have. I think we've found our third.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- I think we're done and dusted. - Are we done?
0:22:20 > 0:22:21- We're done.- That's it?
0:22:21 > 0:22:23- Thank you, Albert. - You're welcome, sir.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- Nice to meet you.- Thank you. - And I'm going to have a kiss.- Oh!
0:22:26 > 0:22:28- Thank you.- Kiss?
0:22:28 > 0:22:29I'm not kissing!
0:22:30 > 0:22:31Great work, Reds.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Decisive action all round,
0:22:33 > 0:22:36and a final purchase with plenty of time left on the clock.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Team, that's a wrap.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Fantastic. Yay!
0:22:40 > 0:22:42- Let's go get a drink.- Off!
0:22:42 > 0:22:45For the Blues, however, panic is setting in.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Time seems to be against us, really.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49- Yeah. - Do you know, I noticed upstairs
0:22:49 > 0:22:51there was a nice fire bucket,
0:22:51 > 0:22:53kind of had an Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau kind of design...
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- Show me, show me, show me. - Show you, show you, show you!
0:22:56 > 0:22:57Where's the boss? Where is he?
0:22:57 > 0:22:58Come on, Rory, follow me.
0:23:02 > 0:23:03Any sign of this bucket?
0:23:03 > 0:23:06This is not looking good. And the clock's running.
0:23:06 > 0:23:07It's on the next floor. One more up.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10One more up? Does Danny actually know where he's going?!
0:23:10 > 0:23:11Six minutes, guys.
0:23:12 > 0:23:13Erm... Here we are.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16- Oh, yeah.- This is what I spotted.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18I just kind of thought it's...
0:23:18 > 0:23:19It's a nice shape. Isn't it?
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Oh, my word, it's a lot of money.
0:23:21 > 0:23:2489. I mean, it's not overly priced, really.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26It's got nice decoration on it, but when I look at it,
0:23:26 > 0:23:28I can see a little hole there.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30So there's damage. And then when I look underneath,
0:23:30 > 0:23:33there is a great big weld.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36So we know, you know, it's come apart.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39- What are you thinking?- I think it's too damaged to make a profit.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41- Yeah, I'm not overly sold. - What about the deco mirror?
0:23:41 > 0:23:42That's the only thing we've seen
0:23:42 > 0:23:44that we were vaguely thinking about getting.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Let's go, because we haven't got enough time to do anything else.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- It's the floor down, isn't it? - Is it?- Yeah.- Excellent.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51- I'll tell you something else I spotted.- OK.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53It might be this way, we'll just go...
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- Follow me.- All right, all right. Run, Danny, run!
0:23:56 > 0:23:59This better be good, Danny! You've got five minutes left!
0:23:59 > 0:24:02What I'd seen earlier was this lovely little compass.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03Now I'm thinking straight away,
0:24:03 > 0:24:05we're in an area where there's plenty of ships
0:24:05 > 0:24:08and, you know, the marina. What are you thinking?
0:24:08 > 0:24:09I don't like that expression on your face!
0:24:09 > 0:24:11- I don't like it.- Rory!
0:24:11 > 0:24:13- What are you thinking? - I'm not sold on it.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Well, we've got two choices, really, cos time's against us.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19- Either this or the mirror, then. - No, let's get the mirror.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20- Get the mirror.- Let's go.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Oh, you're cutting it very fine, guys. Three minutes now left!
0:24:23 > 0:24:25- It's on the right, on the right. - To the right.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27- Yes, we're on the right floor. All right.- Yeah.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29What do you think, Danny?
0:24:29 > 0:24:32So this is the same mirror that was on the table earlier.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34- Yeah.- I'll tell you what, that was a bad move.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35We should've got this earlier!
0:24:35 > 0:24:39- We would have had two together. - A deal!- I mean, it's lovely.
0:24:39 > 0:24:411920s, 1930s.
0:24:41 > 0:24:42You know, if you've got a period property,
0:24:42 > 0:24:44you want a period piece to be in there,
0:24:44 > 0:24:47then you're not going to get better than this.
0:24:47 > 0:24:48- What's the price?- 38.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50- 38.- I was hoping we can really do good deal.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- We've got two minutes. - This needs to be £30.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- At least.- Right. Yeah. OK, if we can get it for 30, we'll do it.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59- Yeah. All right.- Who's going to go and do the negotiating? - Yeah, sorted.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Go on, you again, Mum.
0:25:01 > 0:25:02- Bella? 30. That's it.- 30.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06With only a minute left, can the Blues pull it off?
0:25:06 > 0:25:07Yeah, we have a deal.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Yes! £30 paid.
0:25:09 > 0:25:10Ah, well done. Brilliant.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Group hug. We made it!
0:25:12 > 0:25:14I'll stick the kettle on, teams - your time's up!
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Come on, let's go, then. We're finished now.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19- Well done, crew.- Well done.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26First up, the Reds are hoping to make a MINT on this Minton tazza.
0:25:26 > 0:25:27They paid £69.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34Will this Kayserzinn pewter oil lamp conjure up some magic at auction?
0:25:34 > 0:25:36£23 was paid.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42And finally, they paid £19 for this ornamental Plichta elephant.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Well, Reds, time to breathe.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47A quarter of an hour to spare!
0:25:47 > 0:25:50- I know.- Didn't mention that when you had your tactics chat,
0:25:50 > 0:25:52we're going to do it in 45 minutes!
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Now, tell me, of the three items that you bought, Anne,
0:25:54 > 0:25:56which is your favourite?
0:25:56 > 0:25:58The Plichta elephant.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00- You love that.- I do.
0:26:00 > 0:26:01- With the clover design?- Yeah.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02Absolutely beautiful.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Do you think it's going to bring the biggest profit, or...?
0:26:05 > 0:26:06- I hope so.- Yes.
0:26:06 > 0:26:07I really hope so.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09It's a nice piece, so fingers crossed for you.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Chris, which is your favourite item?
0:26:11 > 0:26:15My favourite item is the Plichta elephant.
0:26:15 > 0:26:20But I think the best profit may come from the Minton.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22OK. Now, £111 spent.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Now, who's got £189?
0:26:24 > 0:26:27- I've kept the money. - Oh, that's unusual, isn't it?
0:26:27 > 0:26:28Role reversal, I like it!
0:26:28 > 0:26:31- Absolutely.- Right, I'll take that from you, then, Chris.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Right, Gary, there you are. £189.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36What are you going to do in the Quay Antiques Centre?
0:26:36 > 0:26:39I have my eye on something that would complement
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- one of these three pieces.- Oh!
0:26:43 > 0:26:48- OK.- Very nicely.- So, Gary's looking for a complementary bonus buy.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51So while he does that, let's remind ourselves what the Blue team bought.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55They sailed away with a ship's decanter for £9
0:26:55 > 0:26:56as their first buy.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Then they pushed the boat out,
0:27:00 > 0:27:02paying £30 for a vintage mahogany trolley.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07And finally another £30 was paid for a bevelled glass mirror.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Well, Bella, Rory, well done.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14You actually got three items within the 60 minutes,
0:27:14 > 0:27:16and I was worried for a moment that you wouldn't!
0:27:16 > 0:27:17Yeah, it was a relief!
0:27:17 > 0:27:18Down to the wire!
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Now, it was a panic buy, that mirror.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Is it your favourite item of the three?
0:27:22 > 0:27:24- I wouldn't say our favourite item. - I think the trolley.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26I'm banking on the decanter.
0:27:26 > 0:27:27Decanter for the biggest profit?
0:27:27 > 0:27:29With its mismatched top, yes!
0:27:30 > 0:27:32You think the trolley is your favourite lot.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35- Yeah.- But the decanter's probably the best bet for a bit of profit?
0:27:35 > 0:27:37- Probably, yeah. - I think so. We paid so cheap for it.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39I'm hoping that we can't lose on that one, but, you know.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42OK, so overall, three items, I gave you £300.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44But you only spent £69.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Yes. Sorry about that!
0:27:47 > 0:27:49It's quite all right. I won't take it personally.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52But I will ask you for £231, please.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Okey dokey. Thank you very much.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56200... Oh, there's £1 there.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Right, Danny, straight over to you.
0:27:58 > 0:27:59Thank you, Natasha.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Now, that's quite a healthy amount. What are you going to spend it on?
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Let's just say I ain't quite got my head around it yet.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07- We'll leave it at that.- Oh!
0:28:08 > 0:28:12While we leave Danny to get his head around his bonus buy,
0:28:12 > 0:28:14let's head straight to the auction.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Well, we were in Topsham,
0:28:25 > 0:28:28but we've travelled half an hour up the road to a rather rainy
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Ottery St Mary. But it's cosy in here. I'm joined by David Sumner,
0:28:31 > 0:28:34our auctioneer today at Ottery Auction Rooms.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36So, thank you for joining me, David.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38- It's a pleasure. - Now, where shall we start?
0:28:38 > 0:28:39With our Reds, as customary.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42This would brighten up any day, wouldn't it, this Minton tazza?
0:28:42 > 0:28:43Tell me all about it.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46Good condition, gilding's all very, very good.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49- Nice piece.- And do you think you've got the buyers for this
0:28:49 > 0:28:51- here in Ottery? - Yeah, I think we have.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54Should do about sort of £30-£40.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58OK. The teams loved it and they paid £69 for it.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00Mmm.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02There may be a loss on the cards, but only a small one.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06Only a small one, OK. So let's move on to Kayserzinn.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Tell me what you love about this oil lamp,
0:29:08 > 0:29:10- because you've got to love it. - I do, I do.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12I love Kayserzinn. Love pewter.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15The only thing that I don't like
0:29:15 > 0:29:18is there's a little bit of damage round here.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20Our estimate's sort of about 40-60.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23I think they've done quite well because they only paid £23.
0:29:23 > 0:29:24Oh, definite profit.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26OK. So that will help out.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29And then, what about this wise wee elephant?
0:29:29 > 0:29:34The only thing that's going to hold him back is the restoration
0:29:34 > 0:29:36and a little bit of damage to the other tusk.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39But she's so lovely. I mean, you're calling her a him!
0:29:39 > 0:29:41It's got to be a her, come on, look at those eyelashes!
0:29:41 > 0:29:45So, we've got a bit of damage. What do you think she's going to make?
0:29:45 > 0:29:4715-25.
0:29:47 > 0:29:5015-25, well, the team only paid £19.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52- Profit.- So it sounds like David thinks
0:29:52 > 0:29:54there could be some profits ahead.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56But just in case it doesn't go to plan,
0:29:56 > 0:29:59let's see what Gary bought as a bonus buy.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02Well, Anne, Chris, you did leave Gary quite a healthy sum.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05Do you think he's been tempted to buy ceramics in your honour?
0:30:05 > 0:30:07- Possibly, he knows we like them. - I hope so.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09You hope so? Well, Gary, there's only one way to find out.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11So...
0:30:11 > 0:30:13I can reveal...
0:30:14 > 0:30:16Oh, I like that.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19- Oh, that's a good reaction. - Oh, that is different.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21It's unmarked,
0:30:21 > 0:30:26but it has these numbers stamped into it.
0:30:26 > 0:30:320209 indicates to me that this might very well be a Liberty piece.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36And even better, a piece by that great Archibald Knox.
0:30:38 > 0:30:44- OK.- And collectors want the pieces that are early and rare.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46I would say this is about 1903.
0:30:46 > 0:30:47Art Nouveau.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52- How much?- I spent £95.
0:30:53 > 0:30:54- Great.- Oh, yeah. OK.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Good reaction! Right.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59How much do you think it will make at auction?
0:30:59 > 0:31:01If it was by Archibald Knox...
0:31:01 > 0:31:05- Yeah.- Easily 400, even 500.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09Without the Knox name attached to it, I'd pay 100 quid.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11- Well.- OK.- OK.
0:31:11 > 0:31:12- It's a gamble.- Yeah.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15- Yeah.- But I thought it was a gamble worth taking.
0:31:15 > 0:31:19Well, Gary's sold it to me, I think the Reds might be sold on it,
0:31:19 > 0:31:22but let's find out if our auctioneer thinks he can sell it to his buyers.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25Right, David. Now...
0:31:26 > 0:31:28..how about this?
0:31:28 > 0:31:29Gary's bonus buy.
0:31:29 > 0:31:30I love it, absolutely love it.
0:31:30 > 0:31:35What I wanted it to be was Archibald Knox design for Liberty.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38Alas, I couldn't find any more information about it.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41Nonetheless, our estimate, about £60-£80.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44But two people on the internet, it could creep on a bit.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47OK, well, Gary paid £95 for it,
0:31:47 > 0:31:51so hopefully your price proves to be a bit of a teaser
0:31:51 > 0:31:53and they all come flooding in with those bids.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Right, let's move on to our Blues.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59We'll start off with their first buy, which is this ship's decanter.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02Now, they were convinced this was mismatching, but, I mean,
0:32:02 > 0:32:04- I think it goes. - It looks all right to me.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07Unfortunately it's not cut glass, it's moulded glass.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10- Mmm.- But it's a nice shape, put your whisky in there.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13Very useful. So estimate about £5-10, I would have thought.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Well, it is what it is and they only paid £9 for it,
0:32:16 > 0:32:19so hopefully your estimate will get them out of trouble.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23Now, David, for the second buy, the Blues went sort of kitsch.
0:32:23 > 0:32:24But it's functional.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26So tell me, what do you think of the trolley?
0:32:26 > 0:32:29Well, it's utilitarian on two levels.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31You could use it as a trolley.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35- It could keep you warm in winter! - Now, come on, now. That is mean.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37I'm afraid the market in this kind of furniture
0:32:37 > 0:32:39has massively dropped away.
0:32:39 > 0:32:40I think they're really cool.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43I mean, I can't bid for it, but your buyers can.
0:32:43 > 0:32:44What do you reckon they'll pay for it?
0:32:44 > 0:32:46- 5-15.- 5-15!
0:32:46 > 0:32:49The team paid £30.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51- Oh, dear.- You might have your work cut out.
0:32:51 > 0:32:52I will.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54And then we moved on to an item
0:32:54 > 0:32:56that they bought at the very last minute,
0:32:56 > 0:32:58which is this vintage mirror.
0:32:58 > 0:33:02The Trendy Wendys love these - they're very in vogue.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04So, estimate about 20-30.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07Well, the team paid £30 for it,
0:33:07 > 0:33:11and I hope all the Trendy Wendys come out to Ottery for the auction!
0:33:11 > 0:33:13But in case they don't,
0:33:13 > 0:33:16let's find out what Danny bought as a bonus buy.
0:33:17 > 0:33:18So, Danny, come on, what have you got?
0:33:18 > 0:33:20What's going to win it for the Blues today?
0:33:20 > 0:33:23Well, I think this is definitely going to win it for the Blues.
0:33:25 > 0:33:26THEY LAUGH
0:33:26 > 0:33:28- I mean, I'm sorry! - I like that reaction!
0:33:28 > 0:33:30It's a giant wooden mushroom!
0:33:30 > 0:33:33- Well...- That's brilliant. That's brilliant, you're an expert!
0:33:33 > 0:33:35I am, yeah. That's exactly what I wanted.
0:33:35 > 0:33:36It's a milliner's block.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38- OK.- Right. - This is what they make hats on.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40Oh, yes, OK, yes.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42It's quite a designer's piece, to be quite honest.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44I think it can be used in the house,
0:33:44 > 0:33:47I also think it can be used in a retail establishment.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49Quite nice, about early 20th century.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51- Right.- So quite a bit of age to it.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55So these little marks you can see here, well, it's not from woodworm,
0:33:55 > 0:33:58it's actually the pins that they shaped the hat with.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00- OK.- How much did it cost, then, Danny?
0:34:00 > 0:34:02It cost me £55,
0:34:02 > 0:34:04which I think is a good price.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06- Right.- How much do you think it's going to make?
0:34:06 > 0:34:10I'm sure, in auction, that will make £70, possibly even £80.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13Well, that would be good, wouldn't it?
0:34:13 > 0:34:16Well, you don't need to make your minds up just yet.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18It's time to find out what David, our auctioneer,
0:34:18 > 0:34:20thinks of Danny's vintage hat block.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24Now, Danny always wears a hat,
0:34:24 > 0:34:27so it's no wonder he was attracted to this milliner's block.
0:34:27 > 0:34:28But, David, are you,
0:34:28 > 0:34:31and do you think your buyers will be attracted to it?
0:34:31 > 0:34:33- Yes.- Yes, well, that's good.- Yes.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35I love this sort of thing.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37It's good for window-dressing.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39You could put it on the dressing table.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42- Very trendy.- No, I agree, it is attractive.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45But how attractive is it going to be to your buyers?
0:34:45 > 0:34:46Let's talk monetary terms.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48I think about 15-25.
0:34:48 > 0:34:5215-25, OK. Well, Danny had some money to spend
0:34:52 > 0:34:54and he spent £55 on it.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57So, you never know, it could be...
0:34:57 > 0:34:58It could go on a bit.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00And what about the auction today?
0:35:00 > 0:35:02I presume you're going to be on the rostrum.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05- I am indeed.- Fantastic. Well, look out, Ottery, here comes David!
0:35:05 > 0:35:0728. 30.
0:35:09 > 0:35:1145. 48.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13Right, Reds, here we are at auction.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16You're smiling now. Do you reckon you'll be smiling in a minute?
0:35:16 > 0:35:20- Fingers crossed.- First item, in fact it was your biggest splurge.
0:35:20 > 0:35:21- It was.- Yes, it was.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23You paid £69 for it. Here it comes.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25Who'll start me away at £50?
0:35:25 > 0:35:26£50 for this lot.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28£50. £40, then.
0:35:28 > 0:35:29£30, then. Come along.
0:35:29 > 0:35:30It's got to be worth 30.
0:35:30 > 0:35:31£20 for this lot.
0:35:31 > 0:35:3320 I'm bid. 22, will you?

0:35:45 > 0:35:49Not at 32. I'm looking for £32 for this lot.
0:35:49 > 0:35:5032. Last chance.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52Sold away for £30.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54Oh! £30.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58Now, it's a slight loss of £39...
0:35:58 > 0:36:02But Gary's favourite, the oil lamp, might make up for it.
0:36:02 > 0:36:03£23 paid.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05I've got loads of interest already.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08I can jump straight in at £35.
0:36:08 > 0:36:09- Yes!- 38, will you?
0:36:09 > 0:36:1138. 40. 42.

0:36:24 > 0:36:27I'm selling, with my commission bid, at...
0:36:28 > 0:36:29Fantastic!
0:36:29 > 0:36:3345. So that's plus 22.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36You've eaten into that profit, but you're still -17.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39So here comes your favourite, Anne, the Plichta.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42I've got a bit of interest already, I can start at 8.

0:36:55 > 0:36:56£15.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59I'm selling for £12.
0:36:59 > 0:37:04- Never mind. - £12. So, we are -24 overall.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06So now the question is,
0:37:06 > 0:37:10Gary spend £95 on that beautiful Art Nouveau pewter.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13- Are you going to go with it? - Yeah.- Go for it.- Yeah, definitely.
0:37:13 > 0:37:14OK, you're going for it?
0:37:14 > 0:37:16Yeah. We trust Gary.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18Oh, don't!
0:37:18 > 0:37:19Pressure!
0:37:20 > 0:37:21Hopefully it's profitable.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Folks, here it comes.
0:37:23 > 0:37:24Nice-looking lot, this.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26Someone start me away at £40.

0:37:34 > 0:37:3648. 50. 52.
0:37:36 > 0:37:37Oh, it's climbing, look at this.
0:37:37 > 0:37:4052. 55. 58. 60.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43- 62.- 62. 65. 68.
0:37:43 > 0:37:48- Got 70 on the internet. - Yes!- 72. 75. 75. 78.
0:37:48 > 0:37:4980.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51Oh, it's so close!
0:37:51 > 0:37:5382. Not at 82.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55£82.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57Last chance before I sell to the internet.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01Sold to the internet at £80.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04A seriously valiant effort.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06It is another wee loss of 15...
0:38:06 > 0:38:09which takes us to -39.
0:38:09 > 0:38:10- It's not too bad. - That could still be a winner.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12- Yeah.- You took the words right out of my mouth!
0:38:12 > 0:38:15- Sorry.- It is a competition, it's not over yet,
0:38:15 > 0:38:17so just poker-face, say nothing to the Blues
0:38:17 > 0:38:21- and all will be revealed! - OK.- Thank you.
0:38:25 > 0:38:26Rory, Bella, Danny.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28- Yes.- The time has come, auction time.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32There are so many people here and everyone likes spirits,
0:38:32 > 0:38:34so surely everyone's going to be bidding on your decanter.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37The auctioneer is much more confident than you are
0:38:37 > 0:38:38that in fact that stopper does match,
0:38:38 > 0:38:40so he reckons it'll make between £5 and £10.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42You paid nine.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46- OK.- So, get ready, here it comes!
0:38:46 > 0:38:49£5. Someone start me away at £5.
0:38:49 > 0:38:50Got to be worth 5. 5 I'm bid.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52£8. Back in the room.

0:39:06 > 0:39:08I'm looking at £18 for this lot.
0:39:08 > 0:39:09Last chance, 18.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11Fresh face, 20.
0:39:11 > 0:39:12- 20, 22.- Yes!
0:39:12 > 0:39:14- Oh, yes!- Not at 22.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17Not at 22. Last chance at £22.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19I'm selling to the internet.
0:39:19 > 0:39:20Make no mistake.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25Get in there. One down, two to go.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28Right, you've just made a profit of £11.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31And hold your horses, it's time for the vintage mahogany trolley.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Start me away at £10.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37£10. A fiver, then, come along, it's got to be worth a fiver.
0:39:37 > 0:39:385 I'm bid. 8, will you?
0:39:38 > 0:39:41£8 for this lot. £8 for a mahogany trolley?
0:39:41 > 0:39:43- It's really shiny.- £8, thank you.
0:39:43 > 0:39:458, 10. 10.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Not at 10. 10, 12, sir?
0:39:47 > 0:39:49- Lovely little trolley! - Here we go, it's going up.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52- It's really, really nice.- No, not at 15. I'll move to the internet.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54You can always chop it up for firewood if not.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56- Here's a bid.- Lots of uses.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58I've got him at 12. I'm looking for 15.
0:39:58 > 0:39:59Last chance.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01I'm selling away into the corner.
0:40:01 > 0:40:02Your bid.
0:40:03 > 0:40:08£12, so you just made a wee loss of 18.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10So you're currently -7,
0:40:10 > 0:40:12So we've got to make some profit on the mirror.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14Start me away at £20.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16£20. 15, then.
0:40:16 > 0:40:1820 I'm bid. 22, madam.
0:40:18 > 0:40:2022. 25, Internet?
0:40:20 > 0:40:2125, 28?
0:40:21 > 0:40:23Not at 28.
0:40:23 > 0:40:24£28.
0:40:24 > 0:40:25Fresh face at 28.
0:40:25 > 0:40:2730? 30, 32. 35,
0:40:27 > 0:40:2938.
0:40:29 > 0:40:30- 38?- Oh, my God!
0:40:30 > 0:40:32£38 for this lot.
0:40:32 > 0:40:33- Last chance...- Come on, come on!
0:40:35 > 0:40:37I'm selling to the internet at...
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Listen, that's a profit.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43-2 is the overall result.
0:40:43 > 0:40:44So, what are you thinking?
0:40:44 > 0:40:47You were bought a milliner's hat block by Danny.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49Are you feeling confident, Danny?
0:40:49 > 0:40:51Well, I'm always confident,
0:40:51 > 0:40:55but it's down to you and whether you think that -2 is a winning score.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58- We'll go with Danny. - You're going with the bonus buy?
0:40:58 > 0:41:01Excellent. Let me tell you, Danny paid £55 for the hat block.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04The auctioneer reckons 15-25.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06So, you know, we've got to be positive.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09Who'll start me away at £30?
0:41:09 > 0:41:1120, then, come along, it's got to be worth 20.
0:41:11 > 0:41:1320, I'm bid. 22, will you?
0:41:13 > 0:41:1625, 28, 30.
0:41:16 > 0:41:1830, 32. Not at 32. Looking for 32.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21- Come on!- 32, 32, 32.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23I'll come back to you.
0:41:23 > 0:41:2535, 38, 40,
0:41:25 > 0:41:2842, 45, 48, 50, 52.
0:41:28 > 0:41:29Not at 52.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31Sold away at £50.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34Good work, good work.
0:41:34 > 0:41:38£50. It takes you down to -7 overall.
0:41:38 > 0:41:39- OK.- Can you handle that?
0:41:39 > 0:41:41- Well, yeah.- Not bad.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44We'll survive, won't we?
0:41:44 > 0:41:45But you've seen Bargain Hunt.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48Many's the time, -7, although it's negative,
0:41:48 > 0:41:49could be a positive result.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51So don't say anything to your competitors.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54- Keep it to yourselves. - Lots of smiles.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03Well, Reds, Blues, experts, this is it.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05It all boils down to this moment.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07To whom am I handing more money?
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Well, it would be good if I was handing anyone some money!
0:42:10 > 0:42:14But as it so happens, no-one is going home with a penny today.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16But our runners-up today,
0:42:16 > 0:42:19making a slightly bigger loss than the other team,
0:42:19 > 0:42:21the Reds.
0:42:21 > 0:42:22I'm sorry.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27Let's turn to our Reds, Chris and Anne.
0:42:27 > 0:42:31You did make a profit, and it was the Kayserzinn oil lamp.
0:42:31 > 0:42:32In the end, -39.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35I think you can still hold your heads up high.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37Once you get into three figures, that's when, you know,
0:42:37 > 0:42:39you start to really worry about it.
0:42:39 > 0:42:40But it was great fun, wasn't it?
0:42:40 > 0:42:43- Yes, it was excellent. - It was enjoyable.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46But even more pleased today, our victors, the Blues.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54Ah, real team spirit there, with a loss of only £7.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57We obviously knew everything about antiques, secretly!
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Yeah, you doubted yourselves, I think, actually.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Well done, well done.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05Well, if you're sitting at home thinking, "I fancy a bit of that,"
0:43:05 > 0:43:06then why not check out our website?
0:43:06 > 0:43:08The details are on the screen now.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10And you can find us on Twitter, too.
0:43:12 > 0:43:14But much more importantly than that,
0:43:14 > 0:43:17I'd love it if you would join me again for some more Bargain Hunting.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19Yes? ALL: Yes!
