0:00:02 > 0:00:05Hello and welcome to the show from Ardingly, West Sussex.
0:00:05 > 0:00:09Today we are at the South of England Showground.
0:00:09 > 0:00:10This place is huge.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13There are rows... and rows...and rows
0:00:13 > 0:00:18of antique stalls for our teams to delve into.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21So let's not waste any more time.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:50 > 0:00:53With £300 in their pockets and an hour on the clock,
0:00:53 > 0:00:55each team has to find three items
0:00:55 > 0:00:57that they hope will make a profit at auction.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Well, they've certainly got plenty to choose from around here!
0:01:01 > 0:01:03So let's take a sneaky peak at what's coming up.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07The Reds are difficult to please.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10- Do people buy those?- They don't catch your eye then?
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Definitely not, no.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Can we have a think about those, come back?
0:01:16 > 0:01:18The Blues need a stiff drink.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22- Cocktail shaker.- And you'd have that in the home?
0:01:22 > 0:01:24I would. I'd use that nearly every evening!
0:01:24 > 0:01:28- You're much more excited about that than my tea caddy, aren't you?- Yes.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31And at the auction, there's celebrations...
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Yes!
0:01:33 > 0:01:34..and commiserations...
0:01:34 > 0:01:35Oh, it's gone.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39But that's all coming up a little bit later.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41First up, it's time to meet today's teams.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Now, a familial feel to today's show,
0:01:43 > 0:01:45because everyone is either father and son,
0:01:45 > 0:01:49Ben and Dean, or mother and daughter, Janet and Susannah.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51- Welcome everyone, hello. ALL:- Hello!
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Thank you for joining us. I'm going to go straight to you, Ben.
0:01:54 > 0:01:59- Yeah.- Tell me, you are no stranger to all this - lights, camera, action, are you?- No, I'm not.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02I used to do quite a lot of acting and some shows and things when I was younger.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04I went on to study it at uni,
0:02:04 > 0:02:06came back to London to make my fortune as it were,
0:02:06 > 0:02:09but then I thought, "I'm not that good an actor, really, so..."
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Brilliant! Now, tell me, when it's not am dram,
0:02:12 > 0:02:13sports is a big thing in your life?
0:02:13 > 0:02:16That's it, yeah. I think that's the competitive side of me.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Play a lot of football, my dad used to play with me, he doesn't play as much any more.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Now tell me, are you wearing the right colour of fleece?
0:02:22 > 0:02:26Because when it comes to football, that can be a point of contention.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27We're massive Arsenal fans.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28Whew! So Red is correct!
0:02:28 > 0:02:31I was born in '89 when Arsenal won the double,
0:02:31 > 0:02:33which I'm sure avid Arsenal fans will know.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35But my dad was caught running out in the street in his pants,
0:02:35 > 0:02:37celebrating, about three days before I was born.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40And ever since then, yeah, we have supported the club.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43We even went and ended up working there for a while, me and my brother,
0:02:43 > 0:02:45- who still works there.- No! - Yeah, it's been a good passion.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47And I believe you've brushed football royalty?
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Yeah, it was an unfortunate incident, really.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51When I was working at Arsenal,
0:02:51 > 0:02:53halfway through the game I went to the toilet,
0:02:53 > 0:02:55was standing at the urinal.
0:02:55 > 0:02:56And a little boy ran into my leg.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59And the boy's parent was standing next to me and just said,
0:02:59 > 0:03:00"Sorry about that."
0:03:00 > 0:03:03And I looked up and it was David Beckham.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05A surreal experience.
0:03:05 > 0:03:06Now Dean, tell me, you love sports too.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08It's probably where Ben gets it from.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11All ball sports, anything, anything to keep me out of the house.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14I've got three sons and they all joined in.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16But my poor wife,
0:03:16 > 0:03:19she has to live with three youngsters and me.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Four youngsters, should I say!
0:03:21 > 0:03:22What else keeps you busy?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Well, I work in the Royal Mail.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26I've been in the Royal Mail for 39 years.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Although I don't look that old, but I am!
0:03:29 > 0:03:30Yes. And I love it.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33I was an original telegram boy on a bike,
0:03:33 > 0:03:36with a little patch and reading out telegrams to people.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37If I do stay till 65,
0:03:37 > 0:03:42I will be the longest serving Royal Mail employee in the country.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Oh, that's really cool!
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Now, tell me, you obviously get along brilliantly as father and son.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48You play sport together.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Does that bring out a competitive edge between you?
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Or do you think you'll work brilliantly as a team?
0:03:53 > 0:03:55No, massive, we are competitive.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Although we like the same things,
0:03:57 > 0:03:59I have to beat him and he has to beat me.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01OK. But today you do realise you have to beat the Blues?!
0:04:01 > 0:04:05We will be working together and we'll be trying to beat the Blues!
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Oh, fighting talk!
0:04:07 > 0:04:09- We've got to try, haven't we? - You do have to try.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Well, I wish you the best of luck.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Let's turn to the competition.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15The Blues. And I'm coming to you, Janet,
0:04:15 > 0:04:17because I believe you're a brilliant singer.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18So tell me about that.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Well, I sing with Battle Choral Society,
0:04:21 > 0:04:25and I've been 28 years with Hastings Philharmonic Choir
0:04:25 > 0:04:28and I sing with the St John's church choir.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30You had a very varied career, didn't you?
0:04:30 > 0:04:33When I left school I trained as a fashion model.
0:04:33 > 0:04:34Then I got married.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38And was that the end of the modelling career?
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Well, I did odd bits then, you know, freelance.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43And then we bought an inn in Devon.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Funny thing, we only remember the good things.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- It was hard work.- We must move on to Susannah.
0:04:48 > 0:04:49Now tell me, what do you do for a living?
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Currently I'm in the NHS, East Sussex health care trust.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54And I'm the specialist practitioner
0:04:54 > 0:04:56for moving and handling lead adviser.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Now, I know that working in the NHS is often a very serious role,
0:04:59 > 0:05:01but there must be some funny stories that are thrown up?
0:05:01 > 0:05:03One that is particularly in my mind,
0:05:03 > 0:05:06when I was doing some practice nurse working in London,
0:05:06 > 0:05:09I had somebody who I'd prescribed an inhaler for, with regards to an allergy,
0:05:09 > 0:05:13and they came back a couple of weeks later and said, "Oh, has it improved?"
0:05:13 > 0:05:15And they said, "No difference, it's made no improvement."
0:05:15 > 0:05:18So the natural thing was to ask, "Can you show me your inhaler technique?"
0:05:18 > 0:05:21And they said, "Well I don't take it, I spray it on my cat."
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Tell me, what do you like to do in your spare time?
0:05:24 > 0:05:26I've recently been in a production of Noel Coward's Blithe Spirit and
0:05:26 > 0:05:28played Mrs Condomine.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Which was wonderful.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Have you gone antiques shopping together before?
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Well, we have when I was still working locally with Mummy,
0:05:37 > 0:05:38we used to go to Rye Auction Houses.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40So you're no stranger to the auction house?
0:05:40 > 0:05:43It used to be a bit of fun when I bought my first flat.
0:05:43 > 0:05:44I think we're a good team.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46We like the same sort of things.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48- We do.- And we're looking forward to spending the money!
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Ah, so is that your tactic, spend big?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Golden gavel!
0:05:53 > 0:05:56That's our tactic. So we're going to make a profit on everything.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57Sorry, Reds!
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Sounds like you've got it all sussed out!
0:06:00 > 0:06:04But believe me, when that hour unfolds, anything can happen.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08- I know!- Now, you're going to have some money, so 300 for you, Reds.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11And Janet. 300 for you, Blues.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Off you go, your experts are waiting to meet you,
0:06:13 > 0:06:14and the stalls are open.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Well, it's an all-singing, all-dancing Bargain Hunt today.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19But will there be profits all round?
0:06:21 > 0:06:24And of course, our two teams will need some guidance along the way.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Clowning around with the Reds, it's Caroline Hawley.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35And teaching the Blues a thing or two, it's Tim Weeks.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39So Dean, what are you looking for today?
0:06:39 > 0:06:44- Well, I'm looking for something small, silver, maybe Art Deco-ish. - Excellent.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46What are we going to buy, Janet?
0:06:46 > 0:06:49I'm looking for a silver camel pincushion.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50That's quite specific.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52- Yes.- And what about you, Ben?
0:06:52 > 0:06:54I would like to get something oriental if I could.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Or some sort of sporting memorabilia.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00- Susie, what about you?- I'm looking either for silver or something that
0:07:00 > 0:07:01- says, "Buy me"!- Buy me, I like that!
0:07:01 > 0:07:03CROWING
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Wake up teams! Your 60 minutes start now.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08On the end, let's go!
0:07:08 > 0:07:09Let's go buying, come on!
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Loving your work, teams.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Best get cracking.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Well, well, well.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- Look what the boys have spotted. - Oh! Now, that is better.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- And look what it's next to.- Yeah, we don't like that one.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27- Do you not?- That's White Hart Lane.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29You have to educate me, who plays there?
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- Tottenham.- Cheltenham, right.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Cheltenham? Tottenham, Caroline!
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Best you stick to antiques, eh?
0:07:38 > 0:07:42Would you rather have a profit, or something you really, really like?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44- I'd like a profit.- OK.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45- For the golden gavel.- OK!
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Exactly, ladies, no messing today.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53It's all about the profit, and that golden gavel.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55No pressure, Tim!
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Meanwhile, no rest for the Reds.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- That chair's for a tenner? - That is for nothing.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Do people buy wicker at the minute, though? I don't know.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Come on, I mean, look, that's for next to nothing.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Is it all right, is it in good condition?
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Any of the weave broken?
0:08:11 > 0:08:12No, how about underneath?
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Let's have a look underneath.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19- It's pretty sound. - It doesn't have huge age to it.
0:08:19 > 0:08:25No. But, I mean, people have them in their gardens.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26It's £10.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28I'm not sold, but if you want to...
0:08:28 > 0:08:31I think if we make that our first item.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34I mean, I'm sure if we bargain...
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Crikey, Dean, you're not messing about!
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Do you want to have a conversation with them?
0:08:38 > 0:08:40You can have the conversation!
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Go on, son, you can have it!
0:08:43 > 0:08:45I think that's called passing the buck, Dean!
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Good luck, Ben.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49That's a no-brainer, to me.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50- Yeah, yeah.- A no-brainer.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Ben, boy!
0:08:52 > 0:08:54We're paying 50. No.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- Got it down to a fiver.- Yes, definitely.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- Well done.- £5!
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- Well done.- So what do you think, do you like it any more now?
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- Yeah, I like it a little bit more now!- I thought you might!
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- It's a good start.- So have you done the deal?- I have shook his hand, yes.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08- Excellent!- Well done, son.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Like your style, Benjamin!
0:09:10 > 0:09:11One item in the bag.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13So now, do you want to find the next one?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- I'd love to, yeah. - Come on.- Let's go.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18And maybe then it's time for you to do the deal, hey, Dean?
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Meanwhile, over to the Blues.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Right, guys, we talked about silver.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26This looks shiny and sparkly and silvery.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30There could be maybe a camel pincushion, who knows!
0:09:30 > 0:09:32I would almost try and find something with a bit of novelty about it.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36- Yes.- Because it brings in a different private buyer.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Good advice, Tim.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40- Oh, look.- Yeah, that's definitely a pincushion.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Yeah, have a look at it. Get your mitts on it.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Is it marked silver at all?
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Is it?
0:09:47 > 0:09:49- It's not, is it?- No, it's silver-plated.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50No, that's...
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- Did that put you off?- Yes.
0:09:52 > 0:09:53OK. Shall we move on?
0:09:56 > 0:09:59No silver plate for these ladies, just the real McCoy, thank you!
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Still, plenty of stalls out there in the fair.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Talking of all things shiny...
0:10:05 > 0:10:07There's a bit of silver at the top there.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08Yeah.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10That's a little, is it an egg cup and spoon?
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- Yeah.- It's Mappin and Webb.- It's Mappin and Webb.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Right, yeah. That would be plated.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19It has the original Mappin and Webb spoon,
0:10:19 > 0:10:21which is marked on the back as well.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Great. That would make a good christening present.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27How much do you think it would make in auction?
0:10:27 > 0:10:29That's the... Because it's plated.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Well, there's £28 on it.
0:10:31 > 0:10:37I don't know, I think you'd be lucky to get more than £28 for it.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39What's your best price on that?
0:10:39 > 0:10:40How's about £20?
0:10:40 > 0:10:42That's the very best on that,
0:10:42 > 0:10:44give you a little bit of a chance.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Can we have a think about that and come back?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50- Really?- Yeah.- Yeah?
0:10:50 > 0:10:54- Have you got somewhere else you need to be?- No, no, I like it.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- He's quick, isn't he?- He's very quick, yeah.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59No rush, Dean, you've only had ten minutes of your shop.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01I think we've got a chance with £20.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04We probably have, we've also got a lot of stuff to see.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06So let's come back.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Am I sensing a bit of tension, chaps?
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- OK, we'll do that.- Nice plan. - Let's go.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14Back to the Blues.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Right, I've had a sneaky peak.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19Direct your attention over here.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20More silver, Tim?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22- Yes.- I mean, look.- A Victorian tea caddy.
0:11:24 > 0:11:25- Is that a tea caddy?- Yeah.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27- How about that?- That's nice.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Plated on copper, Victorian.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32A good age to it.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Tea caddies - so popular.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35- It says £40.- Yes.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38- Shall we see what Susie thinks on it?- Yes.- Have a look at this, Susie.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Janet quite likes the Victorian tea caddy.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Not sure Susie's convinced!
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- I think it's a nice thing.- I do.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46I think it's quite nice, although...
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- But there's a lot of nice things. - There are.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51- What is this?- Cocktail shaker and pourer.
0:11:51 > 0:11:52Oh, I like that. That's very nice.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54- Do you like that?- Yes.
0:11:54 > 0:11:55It's quite high, it's quite high.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57It's functional, it's different.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58Yeah. It is.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03- And you'd have that in the home? - I would, I would use that nearly every evening!
0:12:03 > 0:12:05You're much more excited about that than my tea caddy, aren't you?
0:12:05 > 0:12:09- Yes. I like that. It's very nice. - Why don't we go and enquire about that?
0:12:09 > 0:12:10I think it's the gent just over there.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Time to go and shake that price down, Blues!
0:12:13 > 0:12:17Back to the Reds. Where things are coming along at a rather leisurely
0:12:17 > 0:12:19pace, shall we say, fellas?
0:12:19 > 0:12:21- Is it an ink well?- Yes, an ink well.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25I have to be honest, I haven't found anything yet that's caught my eye.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28If I find something and obviously Caroline thinks it isn't a waste of
0:12:28 > 0:12:30money, then we'll definitely take a punt.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Scent bottle there.
0:12:33 > 0:12:38- Do people buy those?- Ben knows exactly what he wants, which is great.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Except he hasn't yet.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43And Dean is brilliant, he's pulling all sorts of things.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45But it's "Uh-uh" from his son.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46I just think it looks nice.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51No, if you're not enamoured, son, we'll move on.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54I mean, there's a couple of bits we haven't looked at yet.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57And if not, then we'll end up getting what my dad says we have to get,
0:12:57 > 0:12:59and I'll blame him at the auction! So it's all good!
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Yeah! Don't catch your eye, Ben, no?
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Definitely not, no.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08Come on, Reds. That's 25 minutes of your time gone and two items to buy.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Now, have the Blues got a price for that cocktail shaker?
0:13:12 > 0:13:14What is the best price on that, please?
0:13:14 > 0:13:17That is £40 worth to you.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Right. Anything under 40?
0:13:19 > 0:13:22No, that is worth £40 all day long.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- I'm sure it is. - Yeah.- I'm sure it is.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29- Yeah.- What I do like, can you tell us a bit about the tea caddy?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31The tea caddy? What price would you put on that?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33The tea caddy as you can see is late Victorian.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35That would have been probably made in Sheffield.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37- Right.- On the back there.- Price?
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Price, £35.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Do you like both items?
0:13:43 > 0:13:48- I do, actually.- What about buying the two from the same gent,
0:13:48 > 0:13:50he might do a bit more of a deal for us.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Can you do anything at all if we were to buy two items, sir?
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Like I say, if you take the two, we can round it off at 70.
0:13:56 > 0:13:57So you get another five.
0:13:57 > 0:14:03OK, so £70, which breaks this down to 35 and this one down to 35,
0:14:03 > 0:14:05which is a nice bit of discount.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07- Feelings?- I'm a yes.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- But it's Susie...- And you're half a yes?- I'll go with Mummy.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11- Yeah?- Yeah.- You're going to go with Mummy?
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- I'll go with Mummy.- OK. I'm with you, Mummy.- Are you? - Let's go for it.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18- Thank you!- Yeah, let's go for it. Put it there. And we'd better shake the man's hand.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21- Thank you very much. Let's go. - Jolly good.- Well done.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25With that double whammy, only one item left to find.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Let's leave the teams shopping whilst I find out about a local legend.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Alfred Shrubb was an early pioneer of running.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42But sadly, very few people today have heard of
0:14:42 > 0:14:44this great man's legacy.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50I'm joined now by Julie Poole from the Horsham Museum.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Julie, thank you for joining me today.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56So tell me more about this incredible man and his accomplishments?
0:14:56 > 0:15:01He was born in December 1879 in the small village of Slinfold near
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Horsham, West Sussex.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06He became involved in running purely by accident.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09He was working as a teenager on the local building site.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13He found out that there was a fire in Southwater so him and his friend
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Fred Spencer ran to the fire in Southwater.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Fred Spencer was part of the local running club,
0:15:18 > 0:15:19the Blue Star Harriers.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23He was so impressed with how fast he ran that he actually invited him to
0:15:23 > 0:15:25join the Blue Star Harriers, which he did.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27So quite an heroic start to his career!
0:15:27 > 0:15:32- Where did it go from there?- In 1901 he became the All England cross-country champion.
0:15:32 > 0:15:37He covered ten miles and he was some 350 yards ahead of his competitor.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39So anyone could see he was a budding star?
0:15:39 > 0:15:43- Absolutely.- So at this point, is he beginning to break any records?
0:15:43 > 0:15:47Yes. In 1904 he held the records for one and a half, two,
0:15:47 > 0:15:49three and four mile distances.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52And in 1905 he goes to Glasgow,
0:15:52 > 0:15:55he breaks seven world records in one evening.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57What a glorious night in my hometown!
0:15:57 > 0:16:00So what about this book? I believe it's a first edition, is that right?
0:16:00 > 0:16:04Yes. It's a running manual, it is about techniques of running.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08And it was still being used about 50 years later on.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11So Alfred actually wrote the book on running!
0:16:11 > 0:16:15- Yeah.- So tell us more about the latter stages of Alfred's life and career?
0:16:15 > 0:16:191907 he sailed to America to make his fortune
0:16:19 > 0:16:21on an unsuspecting nation.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23And did he become a household name?
0:16:23 > 0:16:27- Did they pay attention to him? - Yeah, he toured the USA and he won a lot of races.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Tell me more about this race with a horse?
0:16:29 > 0:16:33He came back to Horsham and there was a lot of press about it,
0:16:33 > 0:16:36it was very hyped up, it was terribly exciting.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Sad to say, he did lose.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Was this a bit of a PR stunt that backfired?
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Yeah, that was pretty much the end of his running career.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46So in the end, did he settle in America?
0:16:46 > 0:16:47In the end he settled in Canada.
0:16:47 > 0:16:52There's actually an 8K race held in his honour every year in Ontario.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55What a fitting legacy for an incredibly interesting man.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Julie, thank you so much for coming along.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- You're welcome.- And telling me all about his life.- Thank you.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Meanwhile it's time for us to run back over to our teams to
0:17:02 > 0:17:04find out how the shopping's going.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16There's 15 minutes left on the clock.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17The Blues have bagged two buys,
0:17:17 > 0:17:21but the rather relaxed Reds still only have that wicker chair.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Come on, boys! I'm getting rather worried.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26That scent bottle...
0:17:26 > 0:17:27That's a lovely scent bottle.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29- Do you like that?- I do like that.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31What do you think, Ben, of the scent bottle?
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- How much would it sell for at auction?- It's a good colour.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- Yeah.- It'll be a silver top.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- Yeah.- But it's continental silver.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41That's going to be way over 150 quid.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46But it's a nice thing, it's a nice looking thing. Do you both like it?
0:17:46 > 0:17:48- I like it, yeah.- Hallelujah!
0:17:48 > 0:17:49They finally both agree!
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Looks very smart.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55- Bit deco-ish. A bit silver on the top.- Well, this is earlier than deco.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59This would be late 19th century.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- OK.- Good condition.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04It doesn't seem to be hallmarked.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07And it's got its original stopper.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Shall I see what she can do on it, what the best is?
0:18:09 > 0:18:12See what's the very, very, very best.
0:18:12 > 0:18:13- OK.- Go, go!
0:18:14 > 0:18:19You see, silver's very soft metal and with rubbing...
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Pay attention, Dean!
0:18:21 > 0:18:24- ..of damage.- I wonder how he's getting on?
0:18:24 > 0:18:27I wonder how he's getting on! I'm getting very worried!
0:18:27 > 0:18:31Oh, you could cut the tension with a knife!
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Is there any more urgency over with the Blues?
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Do you have a bargain in here?
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Actually, my eye is drawn to the actual buttons.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42I'll show you the buttons.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46- Nice straightaway to think that they're cased.- Yes.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50These ones, Levi and Solomon, Birmingham, 1900.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53- And how much are they?- I've got 159 on them.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56So, Susie, you're a person of quality.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59All day you've been looking for quality and that's what you're after.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01- But quality does cost money.- Yes.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04You baulked a little bit at the price of 159,
0:19:04 > 0:19:06but to buy quality you've got to spend money.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10- What were you hoping?- I would have hoped for 85, 90.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Do you want me to see what I could do them for?
0:19:12 > 0:19:14It's worth us knowing, isn't it? It's worth us knowing.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Have a proper look at them. What's the subjects?
0:19:17 > 0:19:18Is it golf or fishing?
0:19:18 > 0:19:19Or is he playing a guitar?
0:19:19 > 0:19:21I think he may be playing a lute.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25Oh, a lute, sorry! So it would be good for a musician in an orchestra.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- What's the price we've been offered? - It would be 110.- 110.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32I mean, it's probably top-heavy, if I'm honest.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35But that doesn't mean they can't make a profit.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36You keep looking, Blues.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40Whilst we check in with the Reds, and the perfume bottle negotiations.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44Guys, you still have two items left to buy, with only five minutes left!
0:19:44 > 0:19:48So the original was 250 she wanted for it.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50- 250?- 250.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52But she was going to come down to 185.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54But I think that's quite a lot.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59I don't know if it would make that in auction at all.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Can we ask her to go down to 150?
0:20:01 > 0:20:03- I don't think she will. - She's packing up!
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Well, I did ask.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08- You did ask?- I'll make her an offer.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10But I don't know if she'll take it.
0:20:10 > 0:20:11OK. 160 most.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Oh, the pressure!
0:20:13 > 0:20:15- You love it, don't you?- I think it looks really nice.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19Yeah. Well, if you love it, the chances are somebody else will.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Of all the things we've seen today, tactile...
0:20:21 > 0:20:23I would be happy to be given that.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26- I think he's got a deal.- We've got three minutes left.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28- 150 she'll accept. - 150! Yes!
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- We'll take that.- You've done the deal, have you?
0:20:31 > 0:20:33- Yes, done.- Well done, son. - Oh, my goodness!
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- We've got three minutes left. - Right, let's go back and get that...
0:20:36 > 0:20:38We need to go quickly. Come on.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41I know you're good at soccer, how good are you at running?
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Oh, yeah, the spoon you saw at the start. Well, chop, chop!
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Now, Blues, you have plenty of items in front of you.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Make a decision!
0:20:50 > 0:20:51The buttons we feel are a bit top-heavy.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- Is there anything else?- You could have a look at this.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56This is, I think,
0:20:56 > 0:21:00a possible auction one because I've never seen one like it.
0:21:01 > 0:21:02Engraving on the top of the boat.
0:21:02 > 0:21:03It's got the nautical theme.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05- Yes.- It has, I am a skipper!
0:21:06 > 0:21:08There we go. I like it.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12Does it point in the direction of a profit though? That's the question.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14We're down to the last few minutes.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17I feel like it's a good novelty piece, isn't it?
0:21:17 > 0:21:19I mean, have we checked the condition?
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Good, clear marks do add to value.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24You see it's sterling.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26You can see the anchor which means it's Birmingham.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28What can we do, what's the very best?
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Best I could do would be £70.
0:21:30 > 0:21:31£70.
0:21:31 > 0:21:32We're down to about two minutes.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34It's this, or the buttons.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36It's still a little bit top-heavy.
0:21:36 > 0:21:37What's the best, best you can do?
0:21:37 > 0:21:38It genuinely is...
0:21:38 > 0:21:41I think 70 is a fair price for something like this.
0:21:41 > 0:21:4469, in case we get 70 bid?
0:21:44 > 0:21:45Yes, OK, that's fine.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- 69, can we shake hands on that? - Thank you very much.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49Thank you very much.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51- You've been very helpful.- Nice work, Blues!
0:21:51 > 0:21:53We've done it. We've actually done it.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Well done. Three buys.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Well done, girls. Right, let's get back in the warmth, shall we?
0:21:58 > 0:21:59So the girls are happy,
0:21:59 > 0:22:02but with one and a half minutes left on the clock,
0:22:02 > 0:22:04the Reds need to run like the great Alfred Shrubb!
0:22:11 > 0:22:12Keep up, Dean!
0:22:12 > 0:22:14- Right.- OK, we're back.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Yes. Come on!
0:22:16 > 0:22:17Yeah, I know, getting old!
0:22:17 > 0:22:19- Right.- What's the verdict, then?
0:22:19 > 0:22:21- We want it.- Right.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Can you do £15 on it for us?
0:22:23 > 0:22:25- Please.- Please, it's our last buy.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27- It's our last buy.- I thought you were going to say 18.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29I can't.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32- 16. I'll settle on 16. - Deal, thanks very much.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34- Cool.- Yes!- Thank you very much.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38- Yes!- Thank you.- Yes!- Well done. - Brilliant!
0:22:38 > 0:22:40CROWING
0:22:40 > 0:22:43That's it, teams. Sounds like your time's up.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44It's all over now.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Come on!
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53First up, the wicker chair cost them £5.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00Next, the 19th-century scent bottle set them back £150.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07And finally, they paid £16 for the christening set.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Well, as predicted, gentlemen, all was not well.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16What happened? You needed Caroline to get you in shape!
0:23:16 > 0:23:18We don't like to rush, do we?
0:23:18 > 0:23:21No, it was close, but it was fun.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24So Ben, of the three items that you finally purchased,
0:23:24 > 0:23:26which is your favourite?
0:23:26 > 0:23:28I think the first one that we purchased, actually,
0:23:28 > 0:23:30- which is the wicker chair.- The cheapest, right?
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Yeah! It was something that I really wasn't interested in at all.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35I can't really see it making a loss. But famous last words!
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Do you think it's going to make the biggest profit,
0:23:37 > 0:23:40- or do you have confidence in anything else?- It might not make a lot of profit,
0:23:40 > 0:23:43but it might make the biggest profit compared to what else we bought!
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Percentage-wise! What was your favourite?
0:23:45 > 0:23:47My favourite item was the second item,
0:23:47 > 0:23:50which was the cranberry and silver topped scent bottle.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Which was absolutely beautiful.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54It was a little bit expensive.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58- Mmm.- So I do agree with Ben, I think our first item, which we never,
0:23:58 > 0:24:00ever thought we'd look for,
0:24:00 > 0:24:02was the cheapest and we'll make the best profit.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Fantastic. Now, you spent, remind me, was it 171?
0:24:05 > 0:24:07- We did, yes.- That's right. Who's got 129?
0:24:07 > 0:24:09- I do.- OK, well, I'll have it for a brief moment.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12But I'm going to hand it straight over to Caroline.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13Thank you very much.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17Who finally gets to shop without you two bickering behind her!
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Caroline, what are you thinking?
0:24:19 > 0:24:22- Spend it all!- I didn't have a lot of time to think at all, Natasha!
0:24:22 > 0:24:26So I'm going to have to start from scratch and hunt.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Well, Caroline's off for a bargain hunt on her own.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32So in the meantime, let's remind ourselves what the Blue team bought.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Their first buy was the vintage cocktail shaker.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Price paid, £35.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42Next, the tea caddy also set them back £35.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49And last on the list was the locket which cost them £69.
0:24:50 > 0:24:51Well, Janet, Susie, Tim.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53We got there, with a minute to spare!
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Were you just using that hour wisely,
0:24:56 > 0:24:58or was it actually just down to the wire?
0:24:58 > 0:25:02I think it was spending as much time as we could with Tim, actually!
0:25:02 > 0:25:04But tell me, Janet, of the three items that you bought,
0:25:04 > 0:25:05which is your favourite?
0:25:05 > 0:25:07The compass.
0:25:07 > 0:25:12- The compass! Do you think it's going to lead you in the right direction at the auction?- Yes, I do, yes!
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Now Susie, did you agree with your mum, was the compass your favourite too?
0:25:15 > 0:25:16Yes, it is. So all we need now is
0:25:16 > 0:25:20two nautical people to bid up each other at the auction day!
0:25:20 > 0:25:23So do you think then it's going to make the biggest profit?
0:25:23 > 0:25:25I think, in the right room, we should do OK.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29- We would buy it, so...- Now, have you left Tim enough?- We spent 139.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32- So we've got 161.- 161, yes.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35- Who's got it?- Well, I've the paper.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36And I've got the one!
0:25:36 > 0:25:39It's all I was allowed!
0:25:39 > 0:25:41- Is that all she gave you?- Yes!
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- Sorry, Mummy!- So 161 to be precise, Tim.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- Thank you very much.- What are you thinking, apart from cocktails?
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Well, these are ladies of style, a touch of class.
0:25:50 > 0:25:51And they love quality.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53So I'm going to spend some serious dough
0:25:53 > 0:25:55to bring you back some quality,
0:25:55 > 0:25:58- that you're going to love!- Yes! - I promise.- Excellent.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00So while Tim's off splashing the cash,
0:26:00 > 0:26:02it's time for us to head straight to the auction house.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Ardingly is now a distant memory.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18We are at Catherine Southon Auctions here in Farley in Surrey.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20I'm joined now by Catherine Southon herself.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23- Oh, yes. I'm here!- Let's get stuck in to the Reds.
0:26:23 > 0:26:24Ben and Dean.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26The Lloyd loom style chair.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Now, tell me, do you think it has any virtues?
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Yeah, I mean, I like Lloyd loom.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33It goes right back to the early part of the 20th century.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Personally, I prefer it when it's painted white
0:26:35 > 0:26:36or a nice pale blue or something.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39This is the natural loom.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43It's got a purpose, it's a little bit rickety when you sit on it,
0:26:43 > 0:26:46but at £20-£30, no problem.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Well, at £20-£30, everyone's a winner,
0:26:48 > 0:26:50because they only paid £5 for it.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52- I think they did good. - What about our second?
0:26:52 > 0:26:54We're moving onto the cranberry glass,
0:26:54 > 0:26:57with what we presume is a silver top.
0:26:57 > 0:26:58Oh, I think this is such a pretty thing.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01I love the shape of it, it's slightly tapered.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Love the colour. I like the way it's cut at the top.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Really nice that we've got the stopper,
0:27:07 > 0:27:09cos so often they're missing.
0:27:09 > 0:27:10It's a good piece.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Although they're not selling as well as they used to.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14What estimate have you placed upon it?
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Well, I've put £40 - £60 on,
0:27:16 > 0:27:19but I hope that it makes towards the top end.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22The Reds will hope that too because they paid £150.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Did they? Oh, they may have gone a bit punchy.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27OK. So let's move on to designer goods,
0:27:27 > 0:27:30for our third and final lot from the Reds,
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Mappin and Webb christening egg and spoon set.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Is it a complete set?
0:27:35 > 0:27:37- Methinks not.- Methinks not too.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40The spoon, if you try and put the spoon in the holder there,
0:27:40 > 0:27:43it doesn't quite sort of fit properly.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45- It's a bit clunky.- It's a little bit clunky.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48So it's not right, it's a replaced spoon.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51We do get a lot of people coming here buying christening gifts, actually.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54But this is silver-plated and obviously that's going to be against it.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56But Mappin and Webb, good name.
0:27:56 > 0:27:57What estimate have you given it?
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Well, I think £20- £30.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Well, the team will be chuffed because they only paid 16.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04OK, that's good.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06They could need some help, and in that case,
0:28:06 > 0:28:09it's over to Caroline to find out what she bought as a bonus buy.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14Well, Ben and Dean, you bought a really nice variety of items
0:28:14 > 0:28:18at the fair. You left Caroline £129.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21So Caroline, what have you added to the mix?
0:28:21 > 0:28:23How long have you been a postman?
0:28:25 > 0:28:2839 years.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30Right. I saw this.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34- That little envelope.- Lovely.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Solid silver, Birmingham.
0:28:36 > 0:28:381912.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Engraved and enamelled.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42And it would be to hold stamps.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45So when people sent letters,
0:28:45 > 0:28:48it would be really important to have stamps on them.
0:28:48 > 0:28:49How much do you think it will make?
0:28:49 > 0:28:53I paid £75 for it.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58Which is quite a lot, I have to say.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00But I had you in mind, Dean.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02- Thank you!- And I just thought I had to get this for you.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04So how much do you think it will make at auction?
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Well, I think it's going to break even,
0:29:06 > 0:29:08it might even make a little cheeky profit.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10- Maybe a fiver.- I think it's nice, yeah.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12I mean, hopefully, we won't need it.
0:29:12 > 0:29:13Because we're going to smash it!
0:29:13 > 0:29:16- Yes!- But I'm happy to take a risk if we do.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19It's a lovely object. That's good.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21Bear in mind that you don't need to make your mind up just yet.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24So for now, it's time to find out what Catherine thinks
0:29:24 > 0:29:25of this charming stamp case.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29I've got something small but perfectly formed in my hand.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33It is Caroline's stamp case in the form of an envelope.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35- It's quite stylish.- It is stylish.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37We've got a piece of novelty silver, which is always good.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41But how many people do you know today who collect stamps?
0:29:41 > 0:29:43It is something that has kind of gone, really.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46It is the thing we used to do, years ago.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49It is something that we would normally put in a group lot.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51It is not terribly popular.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54- £10-20.- Oh, Caroline will be disappointed.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56She spent 75 on it.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58- Oh, no, really? - 75! But...
0:29:58 > 0:30:00We might get a bit more.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02But I'm not sure we'll get that high.
0:30:02 > 0:30:03Let's move on to our Blues.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05We will start off with the cocktail shaker.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08But surely that is befitting any chic party.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13It is good, isn't it? It's got that look about it, hasn't it?
0:30:13 > 0:30:18It's silver-plated. Cocktail shakers are always popular.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20People do like them, in particular, if they are novelty,
0:30:20 > 0:30:22if they're a little bit different.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25- £30-50, I think.- Well, the team will be quite pleased with that,
0:30:25 > 0:30:27because they paid 35.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30- Right, I'm happy with that.- So we'll move from cocktails to tea.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32Here is our tea caddy.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34- Yes.- And, again, we are onto silver-plated.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37- Yes.- Wait a minute, do I detect a note of...?
0:30:38 > 0:30:39Yeah. Well, you know why?
0:30:39 > 0:30:41Because silver plate is hard to sell,
0:30:41 > 0:30:43unless it is something interesting.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45And we have got something interesting in the cocktail shaker.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48But tea caddies, again, not so desirable.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50They have kind of slightly had their day.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53But the big problem with this one is the wear.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55You can really see the copper.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58You can see how this has been polished to death.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00We know it's got its problems.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02What do you reckon it is going to make?
0:31:02 > 0:31:0410-20, and it may struggle at that.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06OK, the team won't be so pleased this time, because, again,
0:31:06 > 0:31:08they paid £35.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12- OK.- So all hopes then pinned on, finally, a bit of silver -
0:31:12 > 0:31:15- not just silver plate, a silver locket.- Yes.- It is quite unusual.
0:31:15 > 0:31:19- I mean, it's got some merit to it, doesn't it?- I really love this.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22I think this is a really cracking little thing.
0:31:22 > 0:31:23This is novelty.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25Never seen anything quite like that.
0:31:25 > 0:31:26So I think it's unusual.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28And it's dated 1898, isn't it?
0:31:28 > 0:31:30- It is dated.- Which is so helpful.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33Which is great. And we've had a lot of silver buyers
0:31:33 > 0:31:35who've been admiring it.
0:31:35 > 0:31:36What is your estimate, then?
0:31:36 > 0:31:38I've put 40-60 on it.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40- OK, well, hopefully... - It will make more.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44Hopefully, they keep admiring, because the team paid £69 for it.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46- Right, OK. - If it all goes a little south,
0:31:46 > 0:31:49we'll turn to Tim to find out what he bought as a Bonus Buy.
0:31:50 > 0:31:56Janet, Susie, you left Tim £161.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58Are you not just on the edge of your seats?
0:31:58 > 0:32:00Yes.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02Tim, please reveal to us your Bonus Buy.
0:32:04 > 0:32:05Oh.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09- What do you think? - One for each of you.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11You're speechless in a good way?
0:32:11 > 0:32:14- Could we have a look?- Yeah, absolutely, get your hands on them.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16And let me tell you a bit about them.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19I think there is an awful lot going for them. They're Art Nouveau.
0:32:19 > 0:32:20Well over 100 years old.
0:32:20 > 0:32:21Very, very fashionable.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25They are by Joseph Sankey and Sons, masters of metalware.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27Real quality. Initial feelings?
0:32:27 > 0:32:29Functional.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32- Decorative.- Need polishing.
0:32:32 > 0:32:33- OK.- How much did you pay for it?
0:32:33 > 0:32:38- I spent big. I paid £130 for the pair.- Oh.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41- Shocked?- How much do you think we are going to get?
0:32:41 > 0:32:45Yeah, it's probably the sort of item you'd be wanting to guide around 100.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Just think of the life that these two have had, spending time together,
0:32:48 > 0:32:52like you guys. And they've stuck together through all these years,
0:32:52 > 0:32:54and they're still here now, together.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58I tell you what, this man can sell sand in the desert.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00But it won't be Tim selling the jugs, it will be our auctioneer,
0:33:00 > 0:33:03Catherine, so let's find out what
0:33:03 > 0:33:05the auctioneer thinks of Tim's Bonus Buy.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Things are always better in pairs,
0:33:08 > 0:33:11so what do you make of these Sankey jugs?
0:33:11 > 0:33:13I really love these.
0:33:13 > 0:33:14I think they look superb.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17I love the Art Nouveau design on them.
0:33:17 > 0:33:18A good name.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20Underneath, they're stamped Joseph Sankey and Sons,
0:33:20 > 0:33:23who was well-known for copper and brass.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27The thing is, I like them, but a lot of people don't like copper,
0:33:27 > 0:33:29which I think is a sad thing because I love them.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32So what is someone go to pay for them?
0:33:32 > 0:33:33Well, I am still with these.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36And I put £70-100 on them.
0:33:36 > 0:33:40Well, Tim is going to be grateful for the estimate, but he needs more.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42He paid £130 for them.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45Did he? See, he is with me - he likes them.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48We all like them. But we need to get a lot of people to bid on them.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50OK, well, bidding is what it is all about today.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52And you'll be on the rostrum getting those bids in?
0:33:52 > 0:33:55- I will. I'll be there. - Best of luck to you on the rostrum.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57- Thank you.- And best of luck to our teams.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59100. Is there 110 anywhere?
0:33:59 > 0:34:01£100, then.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05Ben, Dean, Caroline.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07This is it - the moment of truth.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09Auction time. Are you nervous?
0:34:09 > 0:34:11No, I'm all right. I'm all right. Looking forward to it.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13- OK. You're cool.- He's a cool customer.
0:34:13 > 0:34:17- Dean?- I'm really nervous.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19Really? Right, your first lot's coming up now.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21It's our tub chair, and you only paid a fiver,
0:34:21 > 0:34:23so fingers crossed for a profit.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26And I have £10 bid already.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32Who wants to bid me 15?
0:34:32 > 0:34:3415, thank you.
0:34:34 > 0:34:3615. Can I get 20 anywhere?
0:34:38 > 0:34:39£15, then.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41It's yours. You are going home with a chair, sir.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43- Profit.- £15, then.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45All done, 15?
0:34:45 > 0:34:47Yes! £15.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49I tell you what, you've just tripled your money.
0:34:49 > 0:34:53It's a profit of £10, but could we lose it on our next lot?
0:34:53 > 0:34:57You paid £150 for the scent bottle, so good luck, Reds, here it comes.
0:34:57 > 0:35:02We have a beautiful cranberry glass perfume bottle.
0:35:02 > 0:35:03Lots of interest.
0:35:03 > 0:35:0785, 90. 95. 100. 110. £110.
0:35:07 > 0:35:08Oh, it's close.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10With me at 110.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13120, thank you.
0:35:13 > 0:35:14I've got 120.
0:35:14 > 0:35:15I'm out of commission. 120.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17I'm looking for 130.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19120, all done.
0:35:19 > 0:35:23I tell you what, it was close.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26It was close. 120, so it's a wee loss of 30,
0:35:26 > 0:35:28which means you're now minus 20.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30So it's all on this christening set.
0:35:30 > 0:35:31£16 paid.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34- Come on, Catherine.- £20 for this, please?
0:35:34 > 0:35:36£20. 20 is bid.
0:35:36 > 0:35:37- Thank you.- Profit.- £20.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39£20, can I see five?
0:35:39 > 0:35:41£20, then.
0:35:41 > 0:35:42£20.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44Can I see five anywhere?
0:35:44 > 0:35:45£20, then.
0:35:45 > 0:35:46£20, all done?
0:35:48 > 0:35:50OK. 20.
0:35:50 > 0:35:55Now, it is a profit of £4, but overall a loss of 16.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58So the question is, gentlemen,
0:35:58 > 0:36:01are you willing to risk it for a biscuit?
0:36:01 > 0:36:03Or should I say, for a stamp case?
0:36:03 > 0:36:05I think, it's a lovely piece,
0:36:05 > 0:36:08but I don't think we're going to make a profit on it. I's love to risk it.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11I would love to go for it. But I don't think we'll make any money on it.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13So 100% declining the Bonus Buy?
0:36:13 > 0:36:15- We are, yes.- OK, well, let me tell you,
0:36:15 > 0:36:19Catherine thinks this could make up to £20.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21So you never know.
0:36:21 > 0:36:22Should we see how it all pans out?
0:36:22 > 0:36:26- Here it comes.- We have a delightful silver stamp case in the form of an
0:36:26 > 0:36:29envelope. I have £20 on it.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31The grand total of 20.
0:36:31 > 0:36:3225... Oh, 45.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34OK, I'll have that. 45.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37We've jumped ahead on the internet to £45.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40- Not jumped enough.- Is there 50 anywhere? There is.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42£50, thank you.
0:36:42 > 0:36:43£50, then.
0:36:43 > 0:36:4655. Can I say 60?
0:36:46 > 0:36:48Thank you. £60 I have.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50£60 I have.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52- Go on.- £60, then, against you, net.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55£60.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57Oh! Well done, gents.
0:36:57 > 0:36:58Good choice.
0:36:58 > 0:36:59£60. I tell you what, Caroline,
0:36:59 > 0:37:01it's made more than we thought it would.
0:37:01 > 0:37:0310-20 was the estimate.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07But in fact it was a small loss of £15.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09But it doesn't affect your earlier total.
0:37:09 > 0:37:10- No, we'll take that.- Minus 16.
0:37:10 > 0:37:14- How do you feel about that?- That's a positive loss.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17- But it does sting a wee bit. You wanted to make a profit.- I would have loved...
0:37:17 > 0:37:19I thought that the perfume bottle would have made a lot less.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22I'm actually really happy with how close that came.
0:37:22 > 0:37:23I really thought it was...
0:37:23 > 0:37:25- That was...- We were worried about that.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28Yeah. Well, minus 16 could be a winning score.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30But the Blues could make more.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32- So say nothing to them.- No.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34And we'll find out in a moment what happens.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36£30, someone?
0:37:36 > 0:37:38Two prints, rather nice.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46Right, Janet, Susie, Tim, it's auction time.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48- How are you feeling?- Excited!
0:37:50 > 0:37:52You're feeling like you're ready for some profits?
0:37:52 > 0:37:53Absolutely. Yeah.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55- Feeling positive?- Yes.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57OK. Keep that positive attitude,
0:37:57 > 0:38:01because we're starting off with your cocktail shaker. Here it comes.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05We have a vintage, silver-plated cocktail shaker.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07And £30 I have for it.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09- We need a wee bit more.- A solid start.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11£30. Come on.
0:38:11 > 0:38:1335, thank you.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16- 35, I have.- Oh, 35, that's what you paid.
0:38:16 > 0:38:1935. Can I see 40 anywhere?
0:38:19 > 0:38:2035, then.
0:38:20 > 0:38:2235, I will sell.
0:38:23 > 0:38:28Back to square one. Right, £35 paid, and that's the hammer price.
0:38:28 > 0:38:29So no profit, no loss.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33Right, next up, it's our silver-plated tea caddy.
0:38:33 > 0:38:34£35 paid.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36Let's see what Catherine can do.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40Charming little thing there, with a nice armorial on the front.
0:38:40 > 0:38:41£10, anyone?
0:38:41 > 0:38:45- £10?- Very useful collectable.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47Surely £10?
0:38:47 > 0:38:49£10.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51Well done, madam. 15 we have now.
0:38:51 > 0:38:52Can we say 20?
0:38:52 > 0:38:54Is there 20? There is 20.
0:38:55 > 0:38:56Come on.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00£20. Any more at £20, then?
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Against you, net, on a fair warning.
0:39:02 > 0:39:03£20.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05Oh, it's gone.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07£20, hammer's down.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10That is a loss of £15.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12Our last lot is a bit of novelty silver.
0:39:12 > 0:39:16Locket-cum-compass-cum-photo frame. You paid £69.
0:39:16 > 0:39:20- Here comes Catherine.- Compass, and the photo frame inside,
0:39:20 > 0:39:23and I've got interest here at £40.
0:39:23 > 0:39:24- £40.- We need more.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26- 45. 50.- Oh, it's climbing.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29£50. 55. 60 with me.
0:39:29 > 0:39:3065. I am out.
0:39:30 > 0:39:31£65. 70.
0:39:33 > 0:39:3575. 80.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37Are you sure?
0:39:37 > 0:39:38£80, I have.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40£80, do I see 5 anywhere?
0:39:40 > 0:39:42£80, then.
0:39:43 > 0:39:44£80. OK.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46You've just made £11.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49Which means that, overall, you're still under.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51Minus four, ladies.
0:39:51 > 0:39:52Minus four.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54- Oh, so close.- But that wasn't your last lot.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56Well, potentially, it wasn't your last lot.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Because now you've got to make a decision.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00Do you want to risk it?
0:40:00 > 0:40:05£130 is what James spent on those Joseph Sankey jugs.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07Do you think they will make that much today?
0:40:07 > 0:40:12- I do think they are quality, but, looking at the room, I'm not convinced.- I would say, no.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14- They're gorgeous, Tim.- They are gorgeous.- They are lovely.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16- But I'm saying no.- You're declining the Bonus Buy?
0:40:16 > 0:40:19- Declining, yes.- Ladies, let me tell you something.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21Tim paid £130.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24Catherine thinks they are beautiful.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26But she doesn't think they will exceed 100.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28She says 70-100.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30So you might have made the right decision.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32But auction is the great decider.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34Ladies, here it comes.
0:40:34 > 0:40:38We have a rather charming pair of hot water jugs
0:40:38 > 0:40:40by Joseph Sankey and Sons.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43And £50 for these?
0:40:43 > 0:40:45£50. Can I see 50 anywhere?
0:40:46 > 0:40:49- 40, then?- I think you did the right thing.
0:40:49 > 0:40:50£40.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53Thank you. 40. 45.
0:40:53 > 0:40:5550, thank you.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57£50. There must be more.
0:40:57 > 0:40:58£50, then.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02All done at £50?
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Ladies, you made the right decision.
0:41:04 > 0:41:05- Well played.- Tim, I feel for you,
0:41:05 > 0:41:07because they were worth a lot more than £50.
0:41:07 > 0:41:12But, alas, they sold for 50, which would have been a loss of £80.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14But you didn't go for them, so, overall,
0:41:14 > 0:41:16minus four is your score.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18Is that sad?
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Very sad, very sad.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22Listen, I've seen sadder.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25Now, do me a favour - say nothing to the Reds,
0:41:25 > 0:41:28because minus four could be a winning score.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30£400. Fair warning. 400.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39Well, that was a bit of a roller-coaster, wasn't it?
0:41:39 > 0:41:43We had some profits, we had some losses, we had a breaking even.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46It was all over the place.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49So, now, it's time for the final result.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51We have a winner. But, you know,
0:41:51 > 0:41:54the aim of Bargain Hunt is to make some money, and in my pockets,
0:41:54 > 0:41:59there is not a penny. No-one is going home with money today.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01So it all boils down to this.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04Who lost less?
0:42:04 > 0:42:07So, our winners today...
0:42:07 > 0:42:08the Blues.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14-4 versus -16.
0:42:14 > 0:42:15So it was close.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18It was close.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21No golden gavels today.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24Reds, I'm sorry you didn't come away with a profit.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27- No, that's fine. We had a great day. Fantastic day.- You had fun?
0:42:27 > 0:42:29- Brilliant.- We came for the fleece. We got the fleece.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32We got the fleece. And we got Caroline. We were lucky.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35Oh, well done, well done. I'm sorry I've got nothing to give you.
0:42:35 > 0:42:39But, equally, I have nothing to give our winners, the Blues.
0:42:39 > 0:42:40Except a little bit of glory.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Because does it feel good to come out on top?
0:42:42 > 0:42:47- Absolutely.- Yeah.- You had one of everything.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50You had a breaking even, a profit and a loss.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54And you didn't go with the Bonus Buy, which proved to be...
0:42:54 > 0:42:57your moment of glory. Because, had you gone with the Bonus Buy,
0:42:57 > 0:43:00it would have been the Reds who had come out in front.
0:43:00 > 0:43:01So well done, ladies.
0:43:01 > 0:43:02It was a good experience?
0:43:02 > 0:43:04Absolutely wonderful.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07If you're sitting at home thinking, "Well, I could make a profit",
0:43:07 > 0:43:09then get on our website,
0:43:09 > 0:43:11and that's where you'll find details to apply.
0:43:11 > 0:43:14But if you fancy a little bit of Bargain Hunt gossip,
0:43:14 > 0:43:17then follow us on Twitter @BBCBargainHunt.
0:43:17 > 0:43:21And, of course, you can always tune in and join us again.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23Will you join me for some more bargain hunting?
0:43:23 > 0:43:24- Yes? ALL:- Yes!
