Today, we are in Epsom, a town with a rich history.

0:00:020:00:04

It is said that Epsom has more late Stuart and Georgian houses than

0:00:040:00:09

anywhere else in Surrey.

0:00:090:00:11

I wonder what it was like back then.

0:00:110:00:14

HORSE NEIGHS

0:00:140:00:16

Wow! How did that happen?

0:00:180:00:21

Goodness. Is that the time?

0:00:210:00:23

I've got an antiques fair to go to.

0:00:230:00:26

To the racecourse, my dear coachman.

0:00:290:00:32

Let's go Bargain Hunting.

0:00:330:00:35

We're here at Epsom Racecourse Antiques and Collectables Fair.

0:01:020:01:06

Our teams have £300 and just one hour to buy three items.

0:01:060:01:12

But will any golden gavels be awarded today?

0:01:120:01:15

Let's have a look at what's coming up.

0:01:150:01:17

The Reds know who's in charge.

0:01:190:01:21

I do like trunks. I don't know where I'd put them or... You know.

0:01:210:01:24

-Well, you are not buying it, so.

-I know.

0:01:240:01:27

The Blues get into a squabble.

0:01:270:01:29

-I didn't see it.

-You didn't see it?

-You didn't mention it. Why didn't you

0:01:290:01:32

-say so at the time?

-Well.

-What do you want to do?

0:01:320:01:34

-Well, you were so busy.

-Don't argue.

-Oh, well.

0:01:340:01:37

And at the auction, it's tense for the Reds.

0:01:370:01:39

-30, back in.

-And the Blues can't believe their luck.

-Yes!

0:01:390:01:42

But that's all for later.

0:01:440:01:46

Let's meet today's teams.

0:01:460:01:48

For the Reds, we have mum and son Gary and Robina,

0:01:480:01:54

and for the Blues we have married couple Ali and Bob.

0:01:540:01:57

-Hello, everyone. ALL:

-Hello.

0:01:570:02:00

It's lovely to have you along.

0:02:000:02:01

Reds, first.

0:02:010:02:03

Now, Gary.

0:02:030:02:05

You worked in a chocolate factory.

0:02:050:02:08

-I did.

-That sounds like heaven.

0:02:080:02:11

It is wonderful.

0:02:110:02:13

-Tell me a bit about it.

-I've recently retired.

0:02:130:02:16

I've worked there for over 33 and a half years.

0:02:160:02:18

Did several jobs. My last one was I was basically paid to go out and buy

0:02:180:02:24

chocolate and sweets, measure them,

0:02:240:02:26

put them on displays and then I could dispose of them as I saw fit.

0:02:260:02:30

Not all of them went in here.

0:02:300:02:33

Some we used to...

0:02:330:02:35

Did you take some home for your mum?

0:02:350:02:36

Indeed. But we used to raffle them off.

0:02:360:02:39

So, you're retired now.

0:02:390:02:41

But I believe you had a rather interesting hobby as well.

0:02:410:02:46

I did use to practise aikido, which is a martial art from Japan, and I

0:02:460:02:50

actually ended up being an aikido instructor.

0:02:500:02:53

Right. So, Robina, you're retired as well?

0:02:530:02:56

-Yes.

-But tell me, what did you do before retirement?

0:02:560:02:58

All my working life was in retail,

0:02:580:03:01

-but I managed a couple of public houses and a hotel.

-Ahh!

0:03:010:03:05

But my favourite job was just being a barmaid.

0:03:050:03:09

A little birdie told me that you also have a magical background.

0:03:090:03:14

Indeed, I do.

0:03:140:03:16

Tell me about that.

0:03:160:03:18

My father, semi-professional magician,

0:03:180:03:20

and he started me on the magic trail when I was six.

0:03:200:03:24

The first thing was eating razor blades.

0:03:240:03:28

Eating razor blades?

0:03:280:03:29

Yes. Real sharp razor blades, the double-edged.

0:03:290:03:32

And I started performing that when I was nine.

0:03:320:03:35

-Don't try that at home, folks.

-No.

0:03:350:03:38

So what's the secret?

0:03:380:03:40

It's, um, magic and that's it.

0:03:400:03:43

Now, you've obviously got a very close mother-and-son bond...

0:03:430:03:47

Yes, we have.

0:03:470:03:49

..but how are you going to be out there at the fair?

0:03:490:03:52

I think we'll be OK.

0:03:520:03:54

I will probably say, I really like the look of this.

0:03:540:03:57

I really like the look of that, and then basically buy what Mum wants.

0:03:570:04:00

Do what your mum says. You can't go wrong.

0:04:000:04:02

I think you're absolutely right there.

0:04:020:04:05

Now, for the Blues, Ali and Bob.

0:04:050:04:07

How did you two meet?

0:04:070:04:09

I visited the local college to talk to the students about special needs,

0:04:090:04:12

because that's my background,

0:04:120:04:14

and Ali was one of the lecturers there. So that's how we met,

0:04:140:04:17

-originally.

-It was meant to be.

0:04:170:04:20

-It was.

-That's absolutely right.

0:04:200:04:22

Now, Ali, I believe you are

0:04:220:04:24

incredibly handy with a needle and thread.

0:04:240:04:29

Where did that all start?

0:04:290:04:30

Well, it started when I was young.

0:04:300:04:32

I have a very creative grandmother and mother

0:04:320:04:35

who both taught me how to sew.

0:04:350:04:36

Many years later,

0:04:360:04:38

I've come back to sewing and being creative and I've started to make my

0:04:380:04:42

-own clothes.

-Yeah. Tell me,

0:04:420:04:45

the dress that you're wearing, or tunic that you're wearing...

0:04:450:04:48

-Yes.

-..is absolutely fabulous.

-Thank you.

0:04:480:04:51

-Did you make that?

-I did make this and it's made out of jeans that had

0:04:510:04:55

been thrown away in charity shops.

0:04:550:04:57

Absolutely fabulous.

0:04:570:04:59

How are you going to do out there at the fair?

0:04:590:05:02

-It's going to be her turn.

-Is it?!

-Definitely her turn.

0:05:020:05:06

Definitely her turn.

0:05:060:05:08

Are you going to make the decisions?

0:05:080:05:10

-We'll share them.

-We'll share...

-We're not necessarily going to look for things we like.

0:05:100:05:14

But things that will make money.

0:05:140:05:15

Oh, right. They want to make money.

0:05:150:05:17

Same as you guys? So, no shopping without money.

0:05:170:05:22

£300 for the Reds, and £300 for the Blues.

0:05:220:05:27

-Thank you.

-There you are. Your experts await, so off you go.

0:05:280:05:32

There's magic in the air today.

0:05:340:05:37

All our teams need now are their experts.

0:05:380:05:41

On-call for the Reds, it's Danny Sebastian.

0:05:430:05:46

Looking out for the Blues, it's David Harper.

0:05:490:05:52

So, what are we looking for today, guys?

0:05:550:05:58

Gary, you first.

0:05:580:05:59

Ideally something nice. Something with a bit of quality.

0:05:590:06:02

Something to do with drinking, cocktail making, maybe some old bottles.

0:06:020:06:06

-I think the plan is buy low, real bargains...

-Yes.

-..sell high, David.

0:06:060:06:11

Sell high. OK.

0:06:110:06:13

I like silver and treen.

0:06:130:06:15

Maybe Lalique, a little bit of glassware.

0:06:150:06:18

Buy cheap and make a profit.

0:06:180:06:20

OK, buy low, sell high.

0:06:200:06:23

Teams, your time starts now.

0:06:230:06:25

BELL RINGS

0:06:250:06:27

Let's go looking.

0:06:270:06:28

-OK.

-Let's do it.

0:06:280:06:30

-Let's do it.

-OK.

-And they are off.

0:06:300:06:32

Oh, look. Bottle labels.

0:06:320:06:34

Quite like them. That's good.

0:06:340:06:36

Quite nice. Always nice when they are silver rather than gilded.

0:06:360:06:38

Rather than... Yeah.

0:06:380:06:41

-That's quite nice.

-What is quite nice?

0:06:410:06:43

That tray that you would put hors d'oeuvres or something like that on.

0:06:430:06:46

Three quid. I like the bronze colour.

0:06:460:06:48

-I like the colour.

-Both teams are finding nice things but nothing they

0:06:480:06:51

want to buy just yet.

0:06:510:06:52

Any more luck, Reds?

0:06:520:06:54

Those book slides.

0:06:540:06:55

They don't really get much money now, do they?

0:06:550:06:58

No. They are '60s, though.

0:06:580:06:59

It's 1960s.

0:06:590:07:01

I mean, is it practical?

0:07:010:07:02

Are people really going to use it?

0:07:020:07:05

-No.

-People don't even read a lot of books nowadays.

0:07:050:07:07

-And if they did they'd have more than four.

-Well, that's right!

-Yeah.

0:07:070:07:12

Still nothing for the Reds.

0:07:120:07:14

But the Blues seem to be making good time.

0:07:140:07:16

I quite like the look of that clock.

0:07:160:07:18

-OK.

-It looks as if it might be oak.

0:07:180:07:20

-Can we handle it?

-Yes.

0:07:200:07:22

Nope. I think it is mahogany.

0:07:220:07:24

What's that say there?

0:07:240:07:26

-New Haven, USA. How interesting, USA.

-Yeah.

0:07:260:07:30

Date, I'm going to say that's going to give it all away.

0:07:300:07:34

That little piece of marquetry decoration,

0:07:340:07:36

which is a very Georgian design.

0:07:360:07:39

1770, in design.

0:07:390:07:42

-Yeah.

-Oh, yeah.

0:07:420:07:43

In date, it's a Georgian revival,

0:07:430:07:46

dated to the Edwardian period, 1901-1910.

0:07:460:07:50

And the Americans were mass-producing clocks and sending them all over the world.

0:07:500:07:54

It's very stylish. It's very small and neat.

0:07:540:07:57

I think it's really interesting.

0:07:570:07:59

I think it's a nice thing.

0:07:590:08:00

-You haven't seen the price. How much do you think it is?

-Oh, I don't know.

0:08:000:08:03

Probably 70-something. Let's go 70-something.

0:08:030:08:06

-What do you think?

-I'd say closer to 50, 45.

0:08:060:08:10

-45.

-Whoa.

0:08:100:08:12

OK, I think it's 20-30 in an auction today because these things have gone

0:08:120:08:17

-down in value.

-I don't think we'd make much of a loss on it but I think we

0:08:170:08:21

wouldn't make a profit on that.

0:08:210:08:22

How much could we get that down to, ladies?

0:08:220:08:25

-35.

-35.

0:08:250:08:26

I think we need to come down a little bit more.

0:08:260:08:28

-30?

-It's come down to 30.

0:08:280:08:30

You wouldn't just manoeuvre down a couple of pounds, say 28?

0:08:300:08:32

-28.

-28, right.

0:08:320:08:34

-Lovely.

-Job done.

0:08:340:08:36

Wonderful. I love you two.

0:08:360:08:37

Thank you very much indeed.

0:08:370:08:39

Negotiated like clockwork, Blues.

0:08:390:08:41

They've bagged their first item, but what about the Red team?

0:08:410:08:45

What are we seeing, Robina?

0:08:450:08:47

I was just looking and wondering if they were buttons there,

0:08:470:08:50

-and if they're silver?

-Which one?

0:08:500:08:52

-The one with the four.

-They are.

0:08:520:08:54

-They are silver?

-Box sets of buttons were popular in the early

0:08:540:08:59

20th century and made attractive gifts to adorn women's clothes.

0:08:590:09:04

-How much are they?

-There's no price on them that we can see.

0:09:040:09:08

£80.

0:09:080:09:09

£80 for the four?

0:09:090:09:11

-For the four.

-They are nice but a little bit expensive, I think.

0:09:110:09:14

£20 each is a bit much.

0:09:140:09:16

Quite old buttons.

0:09:160:09:18

Quite nice, at £20 each.

0:09:180:09:20

So, Danny, what would you say auction-wise is we're looking at those?

0:09:200:09:23

I'd estimate them between £30-50 for the four.

0:09:230:09:26

What do you feel about it?

0:09:260:09:28

Mum likes them. She likes quality.

0:09:280:09:30

-They are silver.

-So, the best price would be?

0:09:300:09:32

70 for the lot, really.

0:09:320:09:34

I don't think we can do that at 70.

0:09:340:09:37

-If you're happy to go 65?

-If you're happy to do that.

0:09:370:09:40

-Have we got a deal?

-Yeah, you've got a deal.

0:09:400:09:42

£65. Shake the lady's hand.

0:09:420:09:44

Thank you very much.

0:09:440:09:45

The Reds are off the mark in style.

0:09:450:09:48

Brilliant! First item bought.

0:09:480:09:51

15 minutes gone. Well, just over 15 minutes gone.

0:09:510:09:54

-What's next?

-While the Reds decide, how are the Blues doing?

0:09:540:09:59

Do you like the box?

0:09:590:10:01

-Oh, the box. The box.

-Does that shout at you anything?

0:10:010:10:03

Any particular style or design, or period?

0:10:030:10:05

It looks a bit arts and craftsy to me.

0:10:050:10:07

-Arts and Crafts, yeah.

-Bang on. Absolutely screaming it.

0:10:070:10:11

Arts and Crafts pieces generally are very good quality.

0:10:110:10:14

Because they are harking back to the old methods of manufacturing.

0:10:140:10:18

-You bought the clock, the mass-made clock.

-Yeah.

0:10:180:10:22

-This is the exact opposite.

-Yes.

0:10:220:10:24

Totally handmade.

0:10:240:10:26

Each and every one. Always different to the next.

0:10:260:10:29

What's the price ticket on it?

0:10:290:10:31

-165.

-165. It's a lovely thing but it's never going to make it in the

0:10:310:10:34

-auction, is it?

-Never going to make us a profit.

0:10:340:10:37

Maybe not.

0:10:370:10:38

The Blues say goodbye to the beautiful box,

0:10:380:10:40

while something has caught Robina's eye.

0:10:400:10:43

I was just wondering what they were, with the patterns on?

0:10:430:10:45

They are old-fashioned printing blocks.

0:10:450:10:48

You can use them either for paper, walls or fabric.

0:10:480:10:51

What sort of age are they?

0:10:510:10:52

I don't know the exact age,

0:10:530:10:55

but I know they don't make them like that now.

0:10:550:10:58

Let me give you one to hold.

0:10:580:10:59

Some people don't use them.

0:10:590:11:01

They put them up for decoration.

0:11:010:11:03

I see. What's the price on them?

0:11:030:11:05

They're £10 each, these ones, and these make beautiful, you know...

0:11:050:11:08

-They're quite interesting, actually.

-..round the wall. Things like that.

0:11:080:11:12

Can we bear them in mind and pop back?

0:11:120:11:14

-Have a think?

-Yes. You think about it and I will still be here.

0:11:140:11:17

OK. Fine, thank you.

0:11:170:11:19

With the blocks on the back burner,

0:11:190:11:21

the Blues' eagle eyes have spotted something.

0:11:210:11:24

-Let's have a look.

-They're quite...

0:11:240:11:26

I mean, they are just concrete.

0:11:260:11:28

-Yeah, yeah.

-But if they're cheap and cheerful...

0:11:280:11:30

What price can you do on those for us?

0:11:300:11:32

-Come on.

-They're not cheap, cheap.

0:11:320:11:34

-They're 125.

-No.

0:11:340:11:36

Is that too much?

0:11:360:11:37

So, tell me, where would you...?

0:11:390:11:41

They'd need to be a long way south of 100.

0:11:410:11:45

DAVID COUGHS

0:11:450:11:47

I would reckon between 30 and 45.

0:11:470:11:51

Oh, my word! I think I paid more than that for them.

0:11:510:11:54

-How about 49?

-49?!

-No?

0:11:540:11:57

I'm not making a living here, am I?

0:11:570:12:00

-The bottom line is 90.

-Oh!

0:12:000:12:02

I'm sorry, I can't do any better than that.

0:12:020:12:05

Thanks for trying.

0:12:050:12:07

No sale for the Blues.

0:12:070:12:09

Bob, how long have we had?

0:12:090:12:11

-Half an hour?

-Ali?

0:12:110:12:13

I'm going for 40 minutes.

0:12:130:12:15

OK, not as bad. 25 minutes, but you've got one item.

0:12:150:12:18

So based on that, we're going to run out of time.

0:12:180:12:20

We need to move.

0:12:200:12:22

While the teams continue their shopping,

0:12:220:12:24

I'm going to tell you about a curious wee thing that I've found.

0:12:240:12:28

Derby Day's the big event here at Epsom Racecourse.

0:12:360:12:40

If you've been lucky enough to back a winner,

0:12:400:12:43

what better way to celebrate than with a bottle of champagne?

0:12:430:12:47

A Magnum, of course, is best,

0:12:490:12:52

but I've found a miniature which is a right wee corker.

0:12:520:12:56

This miniature bottle would have been the perfect accessory on a

0:12:580:13:02

Victorian gentleman's watch chain as he stepped out,

0:13:020:13:06

all swanked up in top hat and tails to cheer on a winner on Derby Day.

0:13:060:13:13

This little miniature is made of gold,

0:13:130:13:16

but the interior contains not bubbly,

0:13:160:13:20

but something quite different.

0:13:200:13:22

It has a telescopic action which, when operated,

0:13:220:13:27

reveals a propelling pencil,

0:13:270:13:30

and when the cork is twisted, a lead emerges,

0:13:300:13:34

just perfect for our

0:13:340:13:36

Champagne Charlie to fill out his betting slips.

0:13:360:13:39

It shows the mark for J&G Beasley, a fine London watchmaker and retailer.

0:13:390:13:47

Only the best for our chappy.

0:13:470:13:50

It was made by Sampson & Mordan Co.

0:13:500:13:53

Sampson & Mordan patented the propelling pencil and these were known for

0:13:530:13:56

their fine quality workmanship and quirkiness.

0:13:560:14:00

The Victorians were enchanted by whimsical design

0:14:000:14:04

and would have loved a little item just like this.

0:14:040:14:08

This would have been an expensive item in its day, but in today's market,

0:14:080:14:14

you can often buy gold items for just a little bit more over their

0:14:140:14:18

gold weight value.

0:14:180:14:21

In this case, round about £200.

0:14:210:14:24

Now, for a £200 stake,

0:14:240:14:28

this would be an odds-on favourite with me

0:14:280:14:31

and I'm sure would romp past

0:14:310:14:33

the post and double its money.

0:14:330:14:35

Back at the fair, we're 25 minutes in

0:14:430:14:46

and both teams have one item apiece.

0:14:460:14:49

They'll have to get a move on if they're going to get all three items

0:14:490:14:52

in the time left, and the Reds seem overwhelmed.

0:14:520:14:56

Oh, look, see the...

0:14:560:14:57

-Forks, yes.

-The horses' yolk.

0:14:570:15:00

-Yes.

-So much to look at, so much to take in.

-It is, isn't it?

0:15:000:15:04

A lot of gear here. There is a lot of good stuff here.

0:15:050:15:08

Are the Blues finding it more fruitful?

0:15:080:15:11

What can you tell us about the fruit knife?

0:15:110:15:13

That one's Sheffield, 1903.

0:15:130:15:15

What is it, Bob, about the fruit knives that you like?

0:15:150:15:17

-Do you want to buy a collection or...?

-I just think they're delicate.

0:15:170:15:20

People do collect them. People do collect them, yeah.

0:15:200:15:22

-They do.

-But do they sell, David?

0:15:220:15:23

Well, yes. Everything will sell, but I mean, what kind of value are they?

0:15:230:15:27

-10, 20, 30 quid?

-Yeah.

0:15:270:15:29

A pretty thing with mother of pearl, Sheffield, I assume.

0:15:290:15:33

Date - 1908, pre First World War.

0:15:340:15:38

Feel that as well, it works so well.

0:15:380:15:41

I mean, Sheffield, known for making superb-quality knives.

0:15:410:15:45

-What are your thoughts, Bob?

-I think, even at 25, it's...

0:15:450:15:49

It's lovely, but...

0:15:490:15:50

-I don't think we'll get money on it.

-OK.

0:15:500:15:52

OK, that's fine. Thank you for your time.

0:15:520:15:55

-Appreciate it.

-That price didn't cut it for the Blues.

0:15:550:15:58

Meanwhile, Gary is curious about some crockery.

0:15:580:16:01

What do we know about these sort of plates, Danny?

0:16:010:16:04

-This charger?

-Yeah.

-It looks like a bit of blue and white, late Victorian.

0:16:040:16:10

£29, I mean, it's not too bad.

0:16:100:16:13

You generally find these with cracks and so forth and this one isn't.

0:16:130:16:16

There's a nice transfer on there as well.

0:16:160:16:19

Willow pattern is a transfer print that became popular at the end of

0:16:190:16:22

the 18th-century, inspired by

0:16:220:16:24

the fashionable Chinese imports of the time.

0:16:240:16:27

You've got it up there for 29.

0:16:270:16:29

Would that be something you could see it going for in auction?

0:16:290:16:33

People do like this blue and white, that is for sure.

0:16:330:16:36

It's desirable, it's relatively commercial, it's a nice, big thing.

0:16:360:16:39

It's practical also.

0:16:390:16:41

-£29.

-We can squeeze them a bit more, do you think?

0:16:410:16:43

You know, if we could squeeze them, there may be a chance we could.

0:16:430:16:47

-Wipe its nose?

-Well, yes, indeed.

0:16:470:16:49

Well, I like it and people with a nice country house, on the dresser,

0:16:490:16:54

it would look very nice.

0:16:540:16:56

Shall we ask about a price?

0:16:560:16:57

-Hello.

-Hello.

0:16:570:16:59

I quite like this, however, it's got £29 on it.

0:16:590:17:02

I'm going to struggle with £29 to actually get anything out of it.

0:17:020:17:07

-Is there any movement from you?

-There is bit of movement.

0:17:070:17:10

-A little bit?

-22?

0:17:100:17:11

I like 22. Could we have 20?

0:17:110:17:14

-Yes.

-Shake hands?

-It's your lucky day!

-Thank you very much.

0:17:140:17:16

-Much appreciated.

-It's a pleasure.

0:17:160:17:19

Is Mum agreeing with that?

0:17:190:17:20

-Mum?

-Yes. Yes, I'll go along with that.

0:17:200:17:23

Well done.

0:17:230:17:25

-Thank you very much.

-Well done.

0:17:250:17:26

Well done. Good stuff.

0:17:260:17:28

-That's two in the bag.

-Yep.

0:17:280:17:29

Job done. Let's go and find the third and final piece.

0:17:290:17:32

Let's find the third one.

0:17:320:17:34

Well done, Reds, that's 30 minutes gone and two items bought.

0:17:340:17:38

The Blues are playing catch-up now, with just one item in the bag.

0:17:380:17:42

I quite like the look of these.

0:17:420:17:43

What on earth would you do with those?

0:17:430:17:45

They were bottle tops.

0:17:450:17:47

-They're silver, they've got hallmarks.

-Hallmarks, yes.

0:17:470:17:50

-Date?

-And they're a pair.

-Early 20th century?

0:17:500:17:52

-I would have thought.

-1910, maybe.

0:17:520:17:53

They haven't got a price on them, what is it?

0:17:530:17:55

They're 30. £30, the pair.

0:17:550:17:58

Who would buy them? There's only one person on the planet, ie you.

0:17:580:18:02

I think there would be a few others.

0:18:020:18:05

But whether at a general sale, they'd have to be a lot cheaper.

0:18:050:18:08

Right. Ali, what are we thinking?

0:18:080:18:11

I'm thinking, only Bob!

0:18:110:18:12

LAUGHTER

0:18:120:18:14

25, we could do a deal.

0:18:140:18:17

25.

0:18:170:18:18

Go with your instinct. What is this instinct?

0:18:180:18:21

-Cos I'm worried about time.

-Yeah.

0:18:210:18:22

Ali, do you allow him ever to go with his instinct?

0:18:220:18:25

Yes, well, it's Bob, isn't it?

0:18:250:18:27

-Yes.

-You wouldn't do 24?

0:18:270:18:30

24?

0:18:300:18:32

I don't think we'll fall out over a pound.

0:18:320:18:34

That's very kind of you. Thank you very much indeed.

0:18:340:18:37

Give you a sporting chance!

0:18:370:18:38

-You're welcome.

-Thank you.

0:18:380:18:40

Very strange! Thank you, thank you.

0:18:400:18:43

Strange or not, that's two items down with 20 minutes left on the clock.

0:18:430:18:47

Both teams are looking for their final items.

0:18:470:18:51

I do like trunks.

0:18:510:18:52

I don't know where I'd put them, I don't know what...

0:18:520:18:54

But you're not buying it.

0:18:540:18:55

I know. But I'm thinking about from my point of view,

0:18:550:18:58

if I was wanting to buy it, put yourself in the buyer's mind.

0:18:580:19:02

Always great, trunks.

0:19:020:19:03

I love luggage myself.

0:19:030:19:05

I always find with luggage it tells a great story.

0:19:050:19:08

The price on that is 150.

0:19:080:19:10

Gary can't have these.

0:19:100:19:12

No, I didn't say that!

0:19:120:19:14

LAUGHTER

0:19:140:19:16

-Would I say that?

-Of course you wouldn't!

0:19:160:19:18

Not in public, anyway!

0:19:180:19:21

-All right, that's great, then.

-No, I mean, maybe we'll leave those.

0:19:210:19:24

Mum's had the final say on that one,

0:19:240:19:27

while the Blues are getting desperate.

0:19:270:19:29

Look at the £5 table bazaar, isn't that exciting?

0:19:290:19:32

-Yes, it is!

-Are you excited, Ali?

-Well...

0:19:320:19:36

The thing is, though, when we were at the stall previously,

0:19:360:19:39

I did see there was a really sweet little brooch there,

0:19:390:19:42

-a little silver riding...

-I didn't see it.

-You didn't see it?

0:19:420:19:45

-Why didn't you say so at the time?

-Well...

0:19:450:19:48

-You were so busy.

-Don't argue, we haven't got time to argue.

0:19:480:19:51

-Do you want to go and see it?

-Yes.

-Right, Ali, you show us.

0:19:510:19:55

And Robina is also leading the way for the Reds.

0:19:550:19:58

What have you seen, Robina?

0:19:580:20:00

Look, in the middle there, look.

0:20:000:20:02

Oh, she's lovely.

0:20:020:20:04

-It's bronze.

-What would you look for as a value on that, Danny?

0:20:040:20:08

Straight away, I feel that it's repro.

0:20:080:20:11

There's quite a lot of these on the markets nowadays.

0:20:110:20:14

That still doesn't make it commercial, because if it was original,

0:20:140:20:19

then it would be a big figure,

0:20:190:20:21

somebody like Goldscheider

0:20:210:20:22

who made these figures back in the 1930s.

0:20:220:20:25

1920s, 1930s.

0:20:250:20:27

It would be a lot of money.

0:20:270:20:28

Get in there, let's have a look at it.

0:20:280:20:30

OK. Well, it's very heavy, I'm not even going to try,

0:20:300:20:33

I'm not going to try and pick it up. The reason it's heavy is its weight,

0:20:330:20:36

it's £225.

0:20:360:20:37

-That's very heavy.

-That's more than we've got.

0:20:370:20:39

If we were going to put an offer on it, Danny,

0:20:390:20:41

what would you think would be a reasonable estimate to go in at?

0:20:410:20:45

I kind of see that reaching about 80 to £100.

0:20:450:20:49

It's in the style of Chiparus.

0:20:490:20:51

If we can get that down just a little bit more,

0:20:510:20:54

I think we stand a better chance of making a profit at auction.

0:20:540:20:59

-Hello, sir.

-Hello.

0:20:590:21:01

The very, very best I can do on that today is...

0:21:010:21:05

-130.

-I know you've come down on that for us and we do like it, but,

0:21:050:21:10

130 is the death, that's it, no...?

0:21:100:21:12

-125.

-125.

0:21:120:21:14

Well, if you don't try, you don't know.

0:21:140:21:17

-There is that.

-125 sounds good, then?

0:21:170:21:20

You'll shake the man's hand if he says 120.

0:21:200:21:23

-120.

-Thanks very much, appreciate that, sir.

0:21:230:21:27

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you.

-Good luck.

-We're going to need a bit of that luck, I think.

0:21:270:21:31

Yeah!

0:21:310:21:33

What a deal.

0:21:330:21:35

Well done, guys.

0:21:350:21:36

-Thank you.

-One item, we could say, every 15 minutes,

0:21:360:21:39

because we bought all three in 45.

0:21:390:21:42

We've got 15 minutes to spare.

0:21:420:21:44

Tell you what, let's go and get a Bargain Hunt cup of tea.

0:21:440:21:47

Come on!

0:21:470:21:48

Meanwhile, Ali has taken the Blues back to the stall

0:21:480:21:51

where Bob found the bottle tops.

0:21:510:21:53

Right, come on, Ali, shock us.

0:21:530:21:55

So, it is a shocker, look at that.

0:21:550:21:58

-What is it? It's silver, is it?

-It is, yes.

0:21:580:22:01

-It's a crop, isn't it?

-It's a crop and we are at Epsom Racecourse.

0:22:010:22:05

I know, but we're not selling at Epsom Racecourse, are we?

0:22:050:22:08

There is that, yeah, OK.

0:22:080:22:11

Who would wear such a brooch?

0:22:110:22:12

Ladies of leisure.

0:22:120:22:14

Ladies or maybe a gentleman on their tie.

0:22:140:22:18

-Yes.

-Or on a lapel?

0:22:180:22:20

-In fact...

-Yeah... seriously.

-Country.

0:22:200:22:24

-Actually, seriously.

-That would look nice, country jacket.

0:22:240:22:27

Genuinely, I would wear it, genuinely wear it.

0:22:270:22:29

What's your best price on that for us?

0:22:290:22:31

-20.

-You've got 20 on it.

0:22:310:22:33

Could you do it for nine?

0:22:330:22:34

My wife and ten children will kill me!

0:22:340:22:37

OK, yes, right.

0:22:370:22:39

Very kind, thank you so much. Thank you so much.

0:22:390:22:41

-Thank you, thank you very much.

-That's brilliant, thank you.

0:22:410:22:44

-Again.

-Again.

0:22:440:22:45

Our third item. Well done.

0:22:450:22:47

ALARM RINGS

0:22:470:22:48

Tick-tock, time is up!

0:22:480:22:50

And in time, fantastic.

0:22:500:22:52

-Well done, you two.

-Really pleased.

0:22:520:22:53

-Really pleased.

-Let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought.

0:22:530:22:58

First up were the silver buttons at the shiny price of £65.

0:22:580:23:04

They served up this willow pattern meat plate at £20.

0:23:040:23:08

And finally, this bronze statue of a dancer was a must-have for Robina,

0:23:090:23:13

£120 paid.

0:23:130:23:15

Well, guys, did you have a good time?

0:23:150:23:18

We did, a great time, thank you.

0:23:180:23:19

You two worked very much as a team.

0:23:190:23:22

-Yes.

-And you worked very efficiently.

0:23:220:23:25

One item every 15 minutes?

0:23:250:23:27

-Yes.

-Finished 15 minutes early?

0:23:270:23:29

-We did.

-And then had a nice cup of tea?

0:23:290:23:32

We did!

0:23:320:23:33

Now, Robina, tell me what your favourite item is.

0:23:330:23:36

Well, it has to be the Art Deco figure.

0:23:360:23:39

-You like Art Deco?

-I do, and I just fell in love with her.

0:23:390:23:44

Is that the item that is going to make the most money, though?

0:23:440:23:47

-No. No.

-Which item?

0:23:470:23:49

I think the blue and white plate.

0:23:490:23:51

Right. Always popular, always popular.

0:23:510:23:54

Yes, I think that will make the most money.

0:23:540:23:56

Gary, do you agree with your mum?

0:23:560:23:58

Yeah, the Art Deco figure was brilliant and we loved it.

0:23:580:24:00

Heart ruled the head there.

0:24:000:24:02

But I think the plate's going to bring the most money.

0:24:020:24:04

-All right, so both in agreement?

-Yeah, yeah.

-You work as a team!

0:24:040:24:07

LAUGHTER

0:24:070:24:09

Now, you spent £205.

0:24:090:24:11

-Yes.

-Perfectly respectable, so could I have £95?

0:24:110:24:15

You can, indeed, there we are.

0:24:150:24:17

Thank you very much. £95, Danny.

0:24:170:24:20

-Thank you very much.

-Do you know what you're going to buy, Danny?

0:24:200:24:23

I've seen something.

0:24:230:24:25

Let's just say - I think this is going to be EASY to buy.

0:24:250:24:29

-Ooh!

-Good.

-While Danny goes off for his EASY buy,

0:24:290:24:34

let's remind ourselves what the Blues bought.

0:24:340:24:37

First up, the American mahogany

0:24:380:24:41

mantle clock which set them back £28.

0:24:410:24:45

This pair of silver scent bottle tops were not to be sniffed at,

0:24:450:24:49

costing £24.

0:24:490:24:51

And finally, this silver riding crop brooch spurred them on at £9.

0:24:520:24:57

Bob, Ali, did you have a good time?

0:24:590:25:01

-Yes, fantastic, fantastic.

-We did!

0:25:010:25:04

You started off very focused and then you kind of lost the place.

0:25:040:25:08

-Yes.

-LAUGHTER

0:25:080:25:10

Decided to rein yourselves back in and became focused again.

0:25:100:25:14

-Yes.

-Ali, what was your favourite item?

0:25:140:25:17

My favourite was the little bar brooch that we bought at the end,

0:25:170:25:21

the little riding crop. That was my favourite.

0:25:210:25:23

Is that going to make the most money, though?

0:25:230:25:25

I think it might, yeah, I think it might.

0:25:250:25:27

Bob, what was your favourite item? Do you agree with Ali?

0:25:270:25:30

The favourite item for me was the little American clock.

0:25:300:25:34

Is it going to make the most profit?

0:25:340:25:35

Doubtful. I think Ali's brooch will,

0:25:360:25:39

but I'd like to beat her on that one!

0:25:390:25:41

A wee bit of competition going here as well, David.

0:25:410:25:44

Well, they're married, Anita, what do you expect?

0:25:440:25:47

I'm saying nothing!

0:25:470:25:48

You spent a tiny, wee £61.

0:25:490:25:53

-We did.

-But that was part of the grand plan?

0:25:530:25:56

-Yes. It was, it was.

-Well, you have to give me £239, please.

0:25:560:26:00

-And here it is.

-Here it is.

0:26:000:26:02

David, a lot of money.

0:26:020:26:04

Anita, what am I going to do with £239?

0:26:040:26:07

Well, blow the lot.

0:26:070:26:08

Do you reckon? Do you want me to?

0:26:080:26:10

-Is that what you want to do?

-I would love to really.

0:26:100:26:13

But I'm going to be cautious. I'm going to look for

0:26:130:26:16

something interesting that can match the interest of your purchases.

0:26:160:26:20

It won't be difficult.

0:26:200:26:21

While David goes off to buy something interesting,

0:26:210:26:25

we're off to the auction.

0:26:250:26:26

We are at Bellmans Auctioneers in West Sussex

0:26:330:26:36

with auctioneer Jonathan Pratt.

0:26:360:26:38

-Hello, Jonathan.

-Hi, Anita.

-It's lovely to be here.

0:26:380:26:41

-Thank you for coming.

-Now, for our Reds, Gary and Robina,

0:26:410:26:45

we have first item, this set of Art Nouveau buttons.

0:26:450:26:50

-OK.

-Now, these are very pretty and they're by William Cummins.

0:26:500:26:54

A very good maker of the early 20th century. Style-wise, nice, too.

0:26:540:26:58

I don't think it's the original box but it's still a period box which is

0:26:580:27:01

rather nice, so, you know...

0:27:010:27:04

they are what they are. They'll sell happily at auction

0:27:040:27:06

-at the right price.

-Uh-huh.

0:27:060:27:07

What price have you estimated them at though, Jonathan?

0:27:070:27:10

Between 60 and 90.

0:27:100:27:12

60 and 90. Well, they paid 65, so we have a glimmer of a profit there.

0:27:120:27:17

-Yeah, good start.

-OK, second item, a functional item,

0:27:170:27:21

a marvellous meat platter. What do you think?

0:27:210:27:24

Well, we live in the country and there are collectors

0:27:240:27:27

of blue, decorated pottery. It's not a rare pattern,

0:27:270:27:29

it's just willow pattern, but it's a nice size, not too big,

0:27:290:27:31

sits on the dresser in the new family room with all the, sort of,

0:27:310:27:34

-where everyone eats and dines.

-And will look beautiful.

-It'll look beautiful, yeah.

0:27:340:27:37

So a perfectly functional, useful thing as well.

0:27:370:27:40

If you wanted to use it, you can.

0:27:400:27:41

-Estimate?

-30 to 40.

0:27:410:27:43

Well, they paid £20.

0:27:430:27:45

-I think that's good.

-I think that was a good buy.

-Yeah.

0:27:450:27:48

Their third item was this Art-Deco lady.

0:27:480:27:51

Now, both of them fell in love with this.

0:27:510:27:54

Jonathan, do you think it's super?

0:27:540:27:56

I'm a great fan of the Art Deco style, I like it.

0:27:560:27:59

This is a reproduction, obviously.

0:27:590:28:01

It's a model after Ferdinand Priess or Chiparus or Lorenzl.

0:28:010:28:05

They were Deco sculptors in the early part of the 20th century,

0:28:050:28:08

sort of 1915, 1920 to the '20s and '30s.

0:28:080:28:12

Very popular, because of its popularity, reproductions are made

0:28:120:28:15

-in their numbers.

-Will your buyers like this?

0:28:150:28:18

They will like it, yeah. Everybody loves a bit of Deco.

0:28:180:28:21

Estimate, Jonathan?

0:28:210:28:23

80 to £120.

0:28:230:28:24

Right, well, they paid 120.

0:28:240:28:26

They may not need their bonus buy,

0:28:260:28:27

but we're going to go and have a look at it anyway.

0:28:270:28:30

Gary, Robina, you spent £205.

0:28:310:28:36

And you gave Danny 95.

0:28:360:28:39

Danny, what did you buy?

0:28:390:28:41

I bought something which...

0:28:410:28:43

..you're going to love.

0:28:450:28:46

-What?

-Yes.

0:28:480:28:50

It's an old easel, an old school easel,

0:28:500:28:52

but quite a special one, this.

0:28:520:28:54

It's ESA, which is Esavian, a British make round about the '40s,

0:28:540:29:00

round about the '50s, and they supplied a lot of stuff to schools,

0:29:000:29:04

but nowadays it's quite in vogue,

0:29:040:29:06

all this school furniture, basically.

0:29:060:29:08

I just think it's quite adaptable, really.

0:29:080:29:11

You can use it probably in a restaurant

0:29:110:29:14

where you've got the menu on it,

0:29:140:29:16

you can use it at home, it can be used in schools,

0:29:160:29:19

and it's pleasant also to the eye. So what do you think of it?

0:29:190:29:22

I like it a lot. I remember using one like that at school.

0:29:220:29:25

As soon as you said ESA, I remembered using those at school.

0:29:250:29:27

I'm not sure, to be honest. I can see its use in other areas.

0:29:270:29:33

-What do you think would be a good price?

-£20?

0:29:330:29:36

Ooh! Well, I paid a bit more than that.

0:29:360:29:39

I think about 50.

0:29:390:29:41

-40.

-I like that.

-I'm not sure.

0:29:410:29:43

You're not sure? Well, you don't have to make up your mind just now.

0:29:430:29:47

-Wait until your first three items have been sold.

-OK.

0:29:470:29:51

But in the meantime,

0:29:510:29:53

let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Danny's easel.

0:29:530:29:56

Now, Danny's bonus buy was this artist's easel.

0:29:580:30:02

-Do you like that?

-I do, yeah.

0:30:020:30:04

It's a practical thing, but it can be used by many people.

0:30:040:30:07

Some people like to display them at home, something like that,

0:30:070:30:10

if you've got a big enough room, but otherwise, dealers like them.

0:30:100:30:13

We sell lots of paintings so there will be people here who will be

0:30:130:30:16

-interested in it.

-Yeah. Estimate?

0:30:160:30:17

-30 to £50.

-Well, they paid 40, so,

0:30:170:30:20

looks like there could be a profit in Danny's bonus buy.

0:30:200:30:23

Let's go on to the Blues now.

0:30:230:30:25

Bob and Ali both loved this little balloon clock.

0:30:250:30:29

Tell me what you think.

0:30:290:30:31

I do quite like these sort of things.

0:30:310:30:33

There's a little bit of decoration to it. The American maker might...

0:30:330:30:36

You know, you'd want an English one, I suppose, you're in England.

0:30:360:30:39

It's a nice piece in the style of the period and it's nice and honest.

0:30:390:30:42

OK, what's your estimate?

0:30:420:30:44

-20 to 40.

-Well, they only paid £28.

0:30:440:30:46

-OK. Stands a chance.

-Yeah, so we could have a profit here.

0:30:460:30:50

Second item, a pair of silver bottle tops.

0:30:500:30:53

What do you think of that purchase?

0:30:530:30:56

They're missing the bottles!

0:30:560:30:58

But I suppose you could argue that the value is in the top and they're

0:30:580:31:01

in reasonable condition... A bit flat on one side, perhaps,

0:31:010:31:04

but that's what they are.

0:31:040:31:05

I mean, when you've got them with the bottles,

0:31:050:31:07

you can get 30 or £40 each for them sometimes, but they haven't,

0:31:070:31:11

so they're going to be limited to the buyer.

0:31:110:31:13

It's not something they can take home and say,

0:31:130:31:14

"I'm going to leave them on the dressing table."

0:31:140:31:16

There's no use directly for them so the trader would be interested and

0:31:160:31:19

-that's probably about it.

-Yeah. What's your estimate?

0:31:190:31:22

-£5 to 10.

-5 to 10.

0:31:220:31:24

They paid £24 for them, so they could be in trouble there.

0:31:240:31:27

-I don't think they'll make a profit.

-Their third item was a little brooch

0:31:270:31:31

and it was modelled as a riding crop.

0:31:310:31:34

Now, will your buyers like that little brooch?

0:31:340:31:36

I think they will cos it's something that's very wearable, isn't it?

0:31:360:31:39

It's made of silver.

0:31:390:31:41

I suppose the downside, perhaps, is it's a continental piece,

0:31:410:31:43

not an English piece, but it's got some age, too, so it's

0:31:430:31:46

-quite a...quite a nice little object.

-Yeah. Estimate please?

0:31:460:31:50

-30 to 50.

-Well, they only paid £9 for that

0:31:500:31:53

so that's looking quite good.

0:31:530:31:56

But the worrying thing is the bottle tops.

0:31:560:31:59

So they may need their bonus buy

0:31:590:32:01

and we're going to go and have a look at it.

0:32:010:32:05

Bob, Ali, you spent a wee, wee, tiny £61.

0:32:050:32:10

-Careful with your money.

-Oh, yes.

-And you gave David £239.

0:32:100:32:16

What on earth did you do that for?

0:32:160:32:18

David, what did you buy?

0:32:180:32:20

Talking of wee things,

0:32:200:32:21

I'm going to show you a wee drinking glass.

0:32:210:32:24

Oooh! May I?

0:32:240:32:26

Go for it, it's so small and it's so simple, but I'm going to tell you,

0:32:260:32:30

there's an awful lot going on there.

0:32:300:32:31

-That's old.

-Well done, Bob!

0:32:310:32:33

-That's great, you should be an antiques dealer.

-No chips.

-Yeah.

0:32:350:32:38

Mind you, you wouldn't get much of a drink out of that, would you?

0:32:380:32:41

Very good point. So what's it for?

0:32:410:32:43

I don't know, is it spirits?

0:32:430:32:44

Yes. Any liquor. Toasting.

0:32:440:32:47

-Date, Ali?

-Well, I'll go very old.

0:32:470:32:49

"Very old," you're ridiculous!

0:32:490:32:51

1860, '70?

0:32:510:32:53

Earlier.

0:32:530:32:54

-Really?

-George III period, circa 1800.

0:32:540:32:57

-Ooh.

-I wasn't far out.

0:32:570:32:58

And it could be called many things, it could be called a rummer,

0:32:580:33:01

it could be called a dram glass, a toasting glass, a shot glass,

0:33:010:33:04

but I'm going to stick my head on the block and call it a firing glass.

0:33:040:33:08

You're in a tavern - this is 1805, the Battle of Trafalgar -

0:33:080:33:11

you are toasting Lord Nelson's victory.

0:33:110:33:14

-What do you do?

-You smash the glass afterwards.

0:33:140:33:16

You don't smash it, you do this, Bob -

0:33:160:33:19

you toast, you drink...

0:33:190:33:20

-..and you slam on the tavern table.

-OK.

-Ah.

0:33:220:33:24

All your mates are doing the same,

0:33:240:33:25

so you have this constant bang, bang.

0:33:250:33:27

Shot, the sound of a musket shot,

0:33:270:33:30

so they were referred to as firing glasses, later called shot glasses.

0:33:300:33:35

Has David sold it to you?

0:33:350:33:38

-Oh, yeah, definitely.

-David, how much?

0:33:380:33:41

15.

0:33:410:33:42

-15?

-Ooh, 15.

-£15.

0:33:420:33:44

But you don't need to make up your mind just at this moment.

0:33:440:33:48

Wait until your first three items have been sold.

0:33:480:33:51

And in the meantime,

0:33:510:33:53

let's find out what the auctioneer thinks of David's firing glass.

0:33:530:33:58

Now, I'm going to slap...

0:33:590:34:00

..this little striker on the table.

0:34:020:34:05

What do you think of this?

0:34:050:34:07

It's rather neat, isn't it? It's very tactile, it's got the age,

0:34:070:34:11

when you start learning about English glass.

0:34:110:34:13

It's a couple of hundred years old and a little bit more,

0:34:130:34:15

and for that to last all the time, it's actually rather nice.

0:34:150:34:18

What's your estimate?

0:34:180:34:19

-30 to £50.

-30 to 50? Well, that's terrific,

0:34:190:34:22

because David only paid £15.

0:34:220:34:25

There could be a profit in that.

0:34:250:34:27

You're our auctioneer today.

0:34:270:34:28

-Yes, I am.

-Excellent!

0:34:280:34:30

I can't wait.

0:34:300:34:32

Any other bids?

0:34:320:34:33

INDISTINCT AUCTIONEERING

0:34:330:34:35

40.

0:34:350:34:37

Gary, Robina, here we are at the auction.

0:34:370:34:40

The moment of truth!

0:34:400:34:43

How are you feeling, Robina?

0:34:430:34:44

-A bit excited, really.

-A bit excited, yeah.

-A little bit nervy.

0:34:440:34:48

-Uh-huh. Gary, what about you?

-Loving it.

0:34:480:34:52

You're loving it! You're loving it!

0:34:520:34:54

Well, auctions are exciting.

0:34:540:34:56

Your first item was that lovely set of Art Nouveau silver buttons.

0:34:560:35:01

You paid £65 for them, so good luck,

0:35:010:35:05

because they're coming up right now.

0:35:050:35:08

Lot 217, a set of four Art Nouveau silver buttons, London,

0:35:080:35:12

1904 by William Cummins.

0:35:120:35:14

I've got 25, £35.

0:35:140:35:15

0:35:150:35:17

55 with me. 60 and five with me again.

0:35:170:35:19

70 now. 70, I'm out now.

0:35:190:35:21

In the middle with the hat at 70.

0:35:210:35:23

Where's five? At £70, any other bids?

0:35:230:35:26

Fair warning, then. Your bid, sir. Selling at 70, all done at 70?

0:35:260:35:29

Great!

0:35:300:35:32

First item and you've made profit!

0:35:320:35:35

That's plus five, well done.

0:35:350:35:38

Your next item, blue and white. Everyone loves blue and white.

0:35:380:35:42

It's coming up now.

0:35:420:35:44

Lot 219, blue transfer decorated ironstone meat plate.

0:35:440:35:47

Start at £10, someone.

0:35:470:35:48

There's 10, 15, 20, 25...

0:35:480:35:51

-We're in profit!

-Under the lampshade at £25, in with 30?

0:35:510:35:55

Who's got £28 for it?

0:35:550:35:57

£25, and selling at 25, no other bids, are you sure?

0:35:570:36:00

£25, I'm selling...

0:36:000:36:04

25.

0:36:040:36:06

You're still in profit.

0:36:060:36:08

Plus five on that item, which takes you to plus ten.

0:36:080:36:12

We're doing not too badly, folks.

0:36:120:36:15

Your third item is the Art Deco figure.

0:36:150:36:18

It was your favourite one, wasn't it?

0:36:180:36:20

It was my favourite, I loved it.

0:36:200:36:22

-It was your big ticket item.

-Yep.

-You paid a lot of money,

0:36:220:36:24

you put all your faith in it at £120, so good luck,

0:36:240:36:28

because it's coming up now.

0:36:280:36:30

Lot 221, a lovely Art Deco figure of a dancer, after Ferdinand Priess.

0:36:300:36:36

A modern one, though, but nice quality.

0:36:360:36:38

I've got 35, £45, 50 and five, 60 and five, 65, 70 at the front now.

0:36:380:36:44

Five, 80, five, 90, five, 110, 110 in the hat, looking for 120, though.

Well done!

0:37:120:37:14

Are you going to take the bonus buy?

0:41:300:41:32

Well done. David, a profit of plus £35 on that bonus buy.

0:41:320:41:39

And that takes your overall profit to £60.

0:41:390:41:43

-Marvellous.

-Congratulations, well done, all three of you.

0:41:430:41:47

-Thank you.

-But I have to say to you, not a word to the Reds.

0:41:470:41:51

Keep shtoom.

0:41:510:41:52

Well, well, well. Did we have a good time?

0:41:580:42:00

-ALL:

-Yes.

0:42:000:42:02

It was nail-biting!

0:42:020:42:03

-It was.

-It was nail-biting.

-Yeah.

0:42:030:42:05

But what I have to say, is that both teams made profits,

0:42:050:42:12

so congratulations! Congratulations.

0:42:120:42:15

But it was so, so close.

0:42:150:42:17

We have to have winners, we have to have runners up,

0:42:170:42:20

and today's runners-up... are the Reds!

0:42:200:42:23

All in all, your profit was £40.

0:42:250:42:28

-Yes.

-Well done.

-£40.

0:42:280:42:30

So well done on that.

0:42:300:42:32

-That's absolutely terrific.

-Thank you.

0:42:320:42:35

But our winners today are the Blues with a profit of £60.

0:42:350:42:39

Congratulations.

0:42:390:42:41

-Thank you very much.

-And take it.

0:42:410:42:43

But also, because both teams made profits

0:42:430:42:49

on every single item,

0:42:490:42:51

-you will be awarded - altogether... ALL:

-The golden gavel!

0:42:510:42:57

Apart from you and I, Danny, we don't get it!

0:42:570:42:59

-DANNY:

-No, no!

0:42:590:43:01

So golden gavels for the runners-up.

0:43:010:43:03

-Robina, one for you...

-Thank you.

-..and Gary, one for you.

-Thank you.

0:43:030:43:07
