0:00:09 > 0:00:15Hello, and welcome to the Ardingly International Antiques and Collectors Fair
0:00:15 > 0:00:18from the South of England Showground.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21Today we've got a modern-day Florence Nightingale, who should be perfectly capable
0:00:21 > 0:00:27of keeping her head in a crisis, and her opponent is normally seen
0:00:27 > 0:00:29wheeling the sick and injured
0:00:29 > 0:00:33around hospital corridors, but will he keep his cool?
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Or, more importantly, lose his trolley?
0:00:58 > 0:01:03Before we kick off, let's have a reminder of how this show actually works.
0:01:03 > 0:01:08We have two teams pitted against one another with a wodge of cash.
0:01:08 > 0:01:13They're given an expert and a challenge to find three items to sell on to make a profit.
0:01:16 > 0:01:22They make a profit at auction, they get to keep it, and the team that wins gets the most profit.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24It's as simple as that!
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Whoa!
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Let's go and meet the star of the Red team.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34For the Reds, we have actress Rakie Ayola,
0:01:34 > 0:01:40who some of you may know as Ward Sister Kyla Tyson in Holby City.
0:01:40 > 0:01:46Look, I know it's not my place, but palpitations, nausea, sweaty palms...
0:01:46 > 0:01:50- Go on.- It sounds like alcohol.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53She's got that look. Shall we?
0:01:53 > 0:01:57- So, Rakie, are you excited to be on Bargain Hunt?- I am so excited.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00I've never been to an antiques fair as big as this. It's amazing.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Who have you brought that's special as your team-mate?
0:02:03 > 0:02:06I have brought my father-in-law,
0:02:06 > 0:02:09who some of the viewers may recognise
0:02:09 > 0:02:15as Eddie Booth from the 1970s sitcom Love Thy Neighbour. Jack Smethurst!
0:02:15 > 0:02:17- How do you do, Jack? - Hello, Tim, nice to meet you.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Very, very nice to meet you too.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23So, this relationship with your father-in-law is slightly ironic?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26It's hugely ironic!
0:02:26 > 0:02:28So this all goes back to Love Thy Neighbour, right?
0:02:28 > 0:02:32- When you had a white family living next door to a black family.- Yes!
0:02:32 > 0:02:37The irony being, of course, that you married Jack's son.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41There must have been something in the air about that show, that that's worked out the way it has.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45- So Jack, are you looking forward to today?- Immensely, yes, I am.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48I don't know much about antiques.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Many, many years ago I thought that it would be a good idea, when I was a young actor,
0:02:51 > 0:02:57when I couldn't get arrested, never mind get a job, I thought, "Let us start collecting antiques."
0:02:57 > 0:03:02The trouble was, I fell in love with the things I bought, so I couldn't bring myself to sell them then.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04You were a hopeless dealer!
0:03:04 > 0:03:08- Totally hopeless!- What sort of things are you going to be looking out for today between you?
0:03:08 > 0:03:12I like useful antiques. It'll be hard to walk past the furniture.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16- So you're Mrs Practical?- Yes, it's very difficult for me to pick up
0:03:16 > 0:03:19something that I can see no use for, even if it's really beautiful.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21- Unless it's a painting. - Yes. What about you, Jack?
0:03:21 > 0:03:26Porcelain in particular. I'm quite interested in a bit of porcelain, or maybe silver.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29That's great, we've got silver, porcelain, furniture and paintings!
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Quite a lot to go for!
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Let's have a look at the opposition.
0:03:35 > 0:03:40For the Blues, we have Charles Dale, who currently plays porter Big Mac in Casualty.
0:03:40 > 0:03:45- I don't suppose you could just close your eyes or something?- I'm sorry.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Isn't there another way up?
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Yes, but unfortunately the skyhook is broken.
0:03:50 > 0:03:56And if you enjoy your soaps, you'll recognise him as Dennis Stringer from Corrie.
0:03:56 > 0:03:57Welcome, Charles, to Bargain Hunt.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- Thank you very much.- Are you looking forward to today's experience?
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Definitely. Couldn't have a better day for it.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05And who special have you brought as your partner today?
0:04:05 > 0:04:07I have brought my lovely wife Sara.
0:04:07 > 0:04:08Ah, how do you do, Sara?
0:04:08 > 0:04:10- Nice to meet you, Tim. - Welcome to Bargain Hunt.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13What sort of things do you collect yourself, Charles?
0:04:13 > 0:04:17It's sporting memorabilia, cricket especially. I love cricket and anything to do with it, really.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20So if you find something that's suitable in the way of sporting
0:04:20 > 0:04:22memorabilia, you'll buy it to go to make a profit, will you?
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- I might buy it for me! - Can't have any of that!
0:04:25 > 0:04:29If it doesn't make a profit, I won't be buying it, hopefully.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- Sara, are you primed and all ready to go Bargain Hunting?- Oh, yes!
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Do you collect anything at all?
0:04:34 > 0:04:35I used to collect compacts.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38That was because you were in the make-up business?
0:04:38 > 0:04:41I was, yes.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43- I don't do it anymore. - Did you do that for film and TV?
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Yes, I did. For television.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- I was doing a job for the BBC when I met Charles.- No!
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Indeed.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54And she's still with me, which is very surprising!
0:04:54 > 0:04:57That's brilliant. Charles, I know you're best friends with Rakie.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Are you going to find it difficult, taking her on head to head today?
0:05:01 > 0:05:05Not at all. It's the Cardiff bragging rights, I think. Absolutely.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Yeah. Us Cardiff girls know how to have a good scrap.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11A good scrap! Let's hope we don't have too much scrapping!
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Anyway, next, the money moment.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17I give you your £300. £300.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20You know the rules, your experts await, and off you go!
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Very, very, very good luck.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26I fancy the Red team today are going to have the best bedside manner,
0:05:26 > 0:05:29but the Blues might be steadier under pressure.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34It's gonna be fascinating as to how this storyline unfolds.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Each team will be led by one of our experts.
0:05:36 > 0:05:43It's their mission to make sure our teams buy only the most profitable items.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Monitoring the Reds' progress is David Harper,
0:05:46 > 0:05:50and consulting for the Blues is David Barby.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56You like this one, do you, Rakie?
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- I do like this.- My dream woman!
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- Jack, do you like this?- I do.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Depending on the price!
0:06:02 > 0:06:04How old do you think it is?
0:06:04 > 0:06:07150 years old?
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Very good. It's about 180 years old.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14It's a pine carcass, then thickly veneered with hand-cut mahogany.
0:06:14 > 0:06:19Three drawers at the bottom, but only one really works.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23- Oh, right.- Then you've got the shelves on the inside.- Lovely.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27- That's the bit I like. I can see lots of daylight here. - Yes, that's shrinkage.
0:06:27 > 0:06:32If you look at the back, you can tell that the backboards are original. But how much is it?
0:06:33 > 0:06:35£85.
0:06:35 > 0:06:41- Priced at 85. - £85 for that is criminally cheap.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44I'm not a great haggler, but since I love it, I'll have a go.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46A flick of those eyelashes!
0:06:46 > 0:06:53Rakie did exactly that, and the cabinet was hers for £65.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57Oh, come on! What are you doing, viewing your country estate?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00No, we're just trying out the surprisingly-comfy bench.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04- Right. Is it part and parcel of the landscape?- Quite possibly.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08We just liked it, we like the shapes to it.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11It is surprisingly comfy, quite springy. But we like this.
0:07:11 > 0:07:16This is very nice. Just got this lovely little shape here.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18- When do you think this was made? - I have absolutely no idea.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- Turn of the century, something like that?- I would think so.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24- And I have a feeling it's probably made by the local blacksmith.- Right.
0:07:24 > 0:07:29He probably produced maybe 20 of these, dotted around the landscape.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33- And it's still in good condition, isn't it? It hasn't gone all the way through.- No, it's all solid.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37It's just under the paintwork, you could use it, leave it distressed, do what you want.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Just tell me the price.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Ticket price was £200.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43£200. You've got to get a third off.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- We shall do our best.- Really?
0:07:46 > 0:07:48I have great faith. Shall I leave it up to you? OK, best of luck.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Thanks.
0:07:51 > 0:07:58Charles and Sara kept David's advice in mind and got the bench down to 140.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Tell me what you think this would be used for.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08- Miss Practical!- The obvious thing is flowers, of course.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10You could put a couple of little flowers in there, I suppose.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12- It is beautiful.- I like it.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16- Lovely colour, isn't it? Beautiful. - It's very heavy, isn't it?
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Don't! No!
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Control yourself there, Jack!
0:08:21 > 0:08:23- What do you think? - I don't know. It's a quirky one.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- It's priced at 20 quid.- I can tell you that's it's not expensive
0:08:26 > 0:08:31at that, but I would love to know who made it, because someone made it with great care.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35- It's lovely.- What do you think, David? Age, how old?
0:08:35 > 0:08:41- Probably latter half of the 20th century. You've got a good eye there, because it is quality.- Yeah.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44What do you think, Rakes?
0:08:44 > 0:08:46- It is gorgeous. - I think we should go for it myself.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- At 20 quid, we're not gonna break the bank, are we?- No.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- I'm gonna try and get him down. - Go for it.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54You try and do that. You like it.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58- You go and get a bit off.- OK.- Shall we continue wandering?- Yeah.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Come on then!
0:09:01 > 0:09:08Determined to follow Rakie's lead, Jack cut a deal of £12 for the vase.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17If our teams have any leftover lolly, they give it to their expert,
0:09:17 > 0:09:23who goes and finds a bonus buy which can resuscitate their chances over at the auction.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24Thank you very much.
0:09:24 > 0:09:29# How much is that doggie in the window?
0:09:29 > 0:09:32# The one with the waggly tail... #
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Sara, what have you got here?
0:09:39 > 0:09:44Well, David, I think it's an artist's box.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45It's full of artist's material.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49Do you think it actually started off life as an artist's box?
0:09:49 > 0:09:54It's possibly an apothecary's box or something like that, or a pharmacist's box.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58But this here, I can't see any other use for that than it being a portable easel.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00There's a lovely little thing that opens there.
0:10:00 > 0:10:08- With the drawer handle there for your canvases.- Now, look, RB Joy, 1807.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12That falls in line, actually, with the box itself, which is a lovely mahogany box.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16- You're an artist, aren't you? - I like to dabble.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Could you take over this box and start using some of these things?
0:10:19 > 0:10:21I'd love to.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Charles, what do you think about it? Are you just agreeing with Sara?
0:10:23 > 0:10:26No, I think she has a really good eye, and also, what I really like
0:10:26 > 0:10:31about it is, it's obviously a family piece, and it's been used for its entire life. So it's nice.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Brilliant. How much?
0:10:33 > 0:10:35- They're asking 140.- 140?
0:10:35 > 0:10:38How much do you think it's worth?
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- 100?- £100?
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- Do you think you might get it for £100?- We could try.- It's up to you.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- Try and negotiate.- We will.
0:10:47 > 0:10:52- OK.- Sara kept a cool head while negotiating and settled on that £100.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55The Reds have bought two of their items already,
0:10:55 > 0:11:02and still have a whopping £223 to spend on their third find.
0:11:02 > 0:11:07Now, this is great! Look at this!
0:11:07 > 0:11:08Honestly, girls and their toys!
0:11:08 > 0:11:13- Does it remind you of being a little girl?- I never had anything like this, but I wish I had.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- I would play with it now. - Very old-fashioned now, isn't it?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19That's the point!
0:11:19 > 0:11:24It's not a bit of plastic with a washing machine on it.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27No, but with a modern-day child, they wouldn't know what that was, would they?
0:11:27 > 0:11:30I don't think very many people are going to buy it for their child or grandchild.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34I think it's a toy collectors' thing. Have you heard of Triang?
0:11:34 > 0:11:36- Yes, I have.- No. - A famous British toymaking company.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Triang was owned by the Lyons family.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42The Lyons family have been making toys since about 1850.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44I reckon that's got to be 1940s.
0:11:44 > 0:11:49How many toys can you buy today that in 50 years' time people
0:11:49 > 0:11:52will want to buy, and they'll be good enough to buy?
0:11:52 > 0:11:54All the wheels are there.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56- How much is it, though?- 125.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00£125. And we can maybe get it a bit cheaper.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03I think you could get it cheaper.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- I think you've got the passion for it.- Let's make a concerted effort.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Let's all go and see him.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- Shall we do that?- Yes.- All right.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Subject to getting a good deal.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16- How's that?- Fair enough.
0:12:18 > 0:12:24Rakie's passion shone through, and with the help of Jack and David,
0:12:24 > 0:12:28she squeezed the price down to £90.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32The Blues have already spent £240, and still have one item left to buy.
0:12:32 > 0:12:38The clock is ticking, and their wallet is almost empty.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Hang on, you two. A very nice lady has allowed me to bring this
0:12:41 > 0:12:43to show you, which I quite liked.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45What is it, Sara?
0:12:47 > 0:12:49- An ashtray.- Yes! - Whose ashtray is it?
0:12:49 > 0:12:52I think it might be Clarice Cliff.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54I think you might be right.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58Charles, do you like it because it's Clarice Cliff design,
0:12:58 > 0:13:01or do you think it's going to make money because it's Clarice Cliff?
0:13:01 > 0:13:03I think it's a combination of two things.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08Clarice Cliff has been very popular for many years, but also I think
0:13:08 > 0:13:13it's bold, I think it's quite naive, I think it's a really interesting piece.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Sara, you've said nothing about it. What do you think?
0:13:15 > 0:13:18I quite like it, actually. I like the colours.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22Would you have it in your house as a decorative item?
0:13:22 > 0:13:26- No.- OK. Charles, what's the asking price?- They are asking £85.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30£85? Sara, what do you think?
0:13:30 > 0:13:36If you can get it at a good price, maybe it's worth going for.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- Right. Do you think it's going to sell well?- I think it'll go down very well in Wandsworth.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43It could possibly backfire on me, as all things do.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46- But no, I think it's a nice piece. - Are you quite confident about that?
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Sara, shall we let him go for it?
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- Yes, why not?- Off you go, Charles. It's getting rather cold.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53- We're going off.- See you in a bit.
0:13:53 > 0:14:00With the daylight waning, Charles persuaded the storeholder to sell it to him for just £50.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04Pressure's rising. Time's up.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Ooh, matron!
0:14:06 > 0:14:10Price tag for the corner cabinet might have been criminally cheap,
0:14:10 > 0:14:16but that didn't stop Rakie getting a little bit off. 65 paid.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Jack made sure he didn't pay over the odds for the vase.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21It set him back a reasonable £12.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27It was love at first sight for Rakie, but let's hope the mangle
0:14:27 > 0:14:29has the same effect on the bidders.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31She paid a stomping £90.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Let's remind ourselves of what the Blues bought.
0:14:34 > 0:14:39The wrought-iron bench might not look it, but according to Charles
0:14:39 > 0:14:41and Sara, it is surprisingly comfy.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45Will the bidders see it through the same rose-tinted glasses?
0:14:45 > 0:14:47They paid £140 for it.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Sara couldn't believe her eyes when she found the artist's box.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54It cost her £100.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Sara wouldn't have the Clarice Cliff ashtray in her house.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59They'll be in trouble if the bidders feel the same!
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Charles coughed up £50 for it.
0:15:02 > 0:15:07Let's head off to the auction house and find out whether the auctioneer thinks our lots
0:15:07 > 0:15:11are heading for disaster or are likely to make a full recovery.
0:15:22 > 0:15:27We've come to a very wet and windy Criterion Auctioneers in Wandsworth,
0:15:27 > 0:15:30but it's great to be here with Daniel Webster, our auctioneer. How are you, Daniel?
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Very well, thank you, Tim. Welcome to Criterion.
0:15:33 > 0:15:40Thank you very much. Now, Rakie and Jack's first object is this monster of a corner cupboard.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41Not the easiest of things to sell these days.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Brown furniture, difficult at the moment.
0:15:44 > 0:15:49We have sold those bow fronts before, though. Two doors rather than a single door is nice.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53Nice cornice on there as well.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56So I think 100-200.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Do you really? They'll be delighted about that.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59They paid £65.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Should do OK.
0:16:01 > 0:16:07Next is the glass-blown vase which Jack found. What do you think about it?
0:16:07 > 0:16:09It's a nice decorative thing, Tim.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11It's glass, it's not damaged.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Will it bring ten or £20, do you think?
0:16:13 > 0:16:16That's what it should make, Tim, that's our estimate, yes.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20£12, that's what Jack paid, so that's pretty good.
0:16:20 > 0:16:25Now, moving from the possible to the perhaps impossible,
0:16:25 > 0:16:29not many children today would know what to do with a mangle, frankly!
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Is it going to sell, do you think?
0:16:32 > 0:16:34We've got 20-40 on it.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36At that price, I think it will sell.
0:16:36 > 0:16:42Rakie absolutely loved it, and she paid £90 for it, which is gonna
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- take some wringing out, isn't it, really?- It certainly will, Tim, yes!
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Overall, I think they're going to need their bonus buy.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Let's go and have a look at it.
0:16:51 > 0:16:56So, Rakie and Jack, you spent £167, which was relatively cautious.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00You gave £133 to David Harper.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Let us see what David Harper has bought you.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- Oh, that's sweet. - Do you know what it is?- No!
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- Careful!- It's not a stamp!
0:17:15 > 0:17:17It's a very high-quality
0:17:17 > 0:17:20piece of pressed glass, and it's a ladies' pin tray.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23On the base there, it's inscribed Lalique.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Rene Lalique, a fantastic Parisian glassmaker,
0:17:26 > 0:17:29started in the early 1900s.
0:17:29 > 0:17:331945, he died, so we know this one is dated after '45,
0:17:33 > 0:17:37because on the base it just says "Lalique, France".
0:17:37 > 0:17:40It it had R Lalique, it would be before he died.
0:17:40 > 0:17:47So this one is probably 1940s or '50s. Dare I ask you what you think I spent? Bear in mind the quality.
0:17:47 > 0:17:4982.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Oh, very good. Jack?
0:17:51 > 0:17:53- 75.- £40.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- Really?- That's not bad.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58We've just made 50 quid there, haven't we?
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Exactly!
0:18:01 > 0:18:05On that happy note... You don't have to decide right now.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07You decide after the sale of your first three items.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11But for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about the old fish.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14So, Daniel, Lalique lookalike. What's it worth?
0:18:14 > 0:18:19It's a nice decorative thing, and I should think £40-60.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22David Harper will be delighted about that. He spent £40.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25It's supposed to be a bonus buy. We'll have to hope for the best.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Charles and his lovely wife.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34Their first item is the estate forged bench.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37What do you think it's worth?
0:18:37 > 0:18:39We've put 50-100 on it.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41- It's a bit shy, that. £140, they paid.- Right.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Which is a fair old wodge, isn't it?
0:18:44 > 0:18:45It is, I think, yes.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49Moving on to this marvellous artist's box. Isn't that a wonderful thing?
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Good-quality mahogany box.
0:18:52 > 0:18:58- It's just a nice thing. - What's it worth?- We've got a conservative 60-100 on it.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Does that mean it might make more?
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- We hope so.- £100, they paid.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Lastly is the Clarice Cliff keyhole-pattern ashtray.
0:19:07 > 0:19:12I think it is quite a good design for Clarice Cliff, and I think it'll appeal to the collectors.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15- How much?- We have 40-80 on it.
0:19:15 > 0:19:1940-80. £50 paid. I think they'll make a decent profit on that, with any luck.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23The big problem is the bench, as to whether you'll get that away profitably.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27So, just in case, we'd better go and have a look at the bonus buy.
0:19:27 > 0:19:32Charles and Sara, you spent a whopping £290. I'm so proud of you!
0:19:32 > 0:19:39- We did!- Leaving a miserable £10 note to go to David Barby to go and find your bonus buy.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Did he find something to make a profit? David, put them out of their agony, will you?
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Right.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47- Oh, right.- What do you think?
0:19:47 > 0:19:49I think it's very pretty.
0:19:49 > 0:19:56- First of all, it's pewter, but it was made for a certain company in London called Liberty.- Oh, right.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58The mark underneath is Tudric.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01That's the mark that was employed by Liberty to denote
0:20:01 > 0:20:06that is was for that company, and also it was a certain range.
0:20:06 > 0:20:13- The bonus is the fact you've got a little medallion there with a golfer on it.- Brilliant. It's very lovely.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15You could still use it if you want to have a pint in it.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17- Do you like it, Sara?- I do.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21- It's great, very round and very chunky.- A bit like me, you see!
0:20:21 > 0:20:22- Full-bodied.- Exactly! Quite right!
0:20:22 > 0:20:26So there is a big question in here, Charles, isn't there?
0:20:26 > 0:20:27- There is. Whether or not.- Yes.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- We'll have to see.- You don't decide now, you decide later.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34But for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about David's mug.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Have you got time for a quick half?
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Just about, Tim!
0:20:38 > 0:20:40- What do you reckon?- 50-80.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43No! £10 only paid.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46That's absolutely marvellous.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50In fact, so marvellous, I might go and have a quick one myself!
0:20:54 > 0:20:56So how are you feeling, team?
0:20:56 > 0:20:59- Very confident.- Very confident. - Are you? Are you sure about that?
0:20:59 > 0:21:05- No! Not at all.- It is a funny feeling, isn't it, because you're a very confident actress, right?
0:21:05 > 0:21:09Both of you are confident screen people, yet at this moment,
0:21:09 > 0:21:12when you don't know what is gonna happen, it is exciting.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16First up is your bow-front corner cupboard. Here it comes, darling.
0:21:16 > 0:21:22Lot 122, the George III bow-fronted corner cabinet. £80.
0:21:22 > 0:21:2480 is bid now.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26- You're in profit.- 90. 5.
0:21:26 > 0:21:2895 away.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30At £95 are we done?
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Come on, bit more!
0:21:33 > 0:21:35- 95...- Yes, £95!
0:21:35 > 0:21:38You've made £30 straight up.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Now, your vase, Jack.
0:21:40 > 0:21:45Over in the cabinets now and on the screen now. £5 for it. No money.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49Neat little thing for a fiver now. Five is bid. Eight. Ten.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53At £10 are we all done? For ten.
0:21:53 > 0:21:5512. 12, new place now.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58At £12. Are we all done for 12?
0:21:58 > 0:22:02Well done, Jack. It's wiped its face.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04You're still plus 30.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Now, the mangle.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Say it with a positive inflection!
0:22:09 > 0:22:11The mangle!
0:22:11 > 0:22:13- Thank you.- Interest everywhere at 25.
0:22:13 > 0:22:1530 gone. At £30.
0:22:15 > 0:22:20Money's with me at 30. At £30 then.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25£30 is minus 60!
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- Are we still in profit?- No!
0:22:28 > 0:22:31You are overall minus £30.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33What are you going to do, sweetpea, about that pin tray?
0:22:33 > 0:22:35- Are we gonna go for it? - Go for it.- Are you gonna do it?
0:22:35 > 0:22:39- You don't have to go for it. - We decided, if we were down...
0:22:39 > 0:22:41That's your strategy,
0:22:41 > 0:22:43is it?
0:22:43 > 0:22:46- All right, fine. - We've got a strategy, have we? Good!
0:22:46 > 0:22:48- We've got an idea.- Jack!
0:22:48 > 0:22:50You're letting her down.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Anyway, you're going to go with the bonus buy? We're going with the bonus buy. Here it comes.
0:22:52 > 0:22:58Lot 128 is a Lalique pin tray. Interest. 30 gone.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00At £30. Money's here at 30.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Are we all done at 30? 5. 40.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04At £40.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06£40 then.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11£40, £40, wiped its face.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15Well done, David. Which means overall you are minus £30.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19Minus £30 could easily be a winning score, all right?
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Don't tell the Blues anything, all right?
0:23:22 > 0:23:25- You look so disappointed!- I am!
0:23:25 > 0:23:29They don't realise how well they've done, actually, do they?! That's the sad thing!
0:23:29 > 0:23:30It's not a bad score, is minus 30.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32I promise you. This could be a winning score.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34I believe you.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36You wanted to go home with the cash, didn't you?
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Yes. I just wanted to sell the mangle.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41I just wanted someone to see what I saw in the mangle.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43I feel really wrung out about it!
0:23:46 > 0:23:49At £40 then...
0:23:53 > 0:23:56So, Blues, do you know how the Reds got on?
0:23:56 > 0:23:58- No.- You don't want to know, let me tell you.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Oh, right. Doesn't sound good!
0:24:00 > 0:24:02- Sounds good for them. - How are you feeling?
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Fine. Strangely nervous.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Yes? Don't see any casualties on the horizon?
0:24:07 > 0:24:09I don't know.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13Our bench is looking a bit tired next to some of that Edwardian furniture!
0:24:13 > 0:24:16How about you, Sara? Are you all right?
0:24:16 > 0:24:18I'm fine. Very nervous. Very excited, actually.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22Good fun, isn't it? Cos we honestly don't know what's going to happen. It's all in the luck of this auction.
0:24:22 > 0:24:27Anyway, the first lot up is the bench, and here it comes.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31Lot 158 is an early 19th-century wrought-iron garden bench.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33It's with interest. 40 gone.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35At £40. Here with me at 40.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39Are we done? Come on! Heavens!
0:24:39 > 0:24:41At £40 then.
0:24:41 > 0:24:49He's sold it for £40, which is minus 100.
0:24:49 > 0:24:55- Dear, oh, dear.- 159 is 19th-century artist's box with contents.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Interest everywhere at 120. 30.
0:24:57 > 0:25:02130, are we done? 40. 50.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05150 still with me. 150, are we done?
0:25:05 > 0:25:09At £150, then.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Yes, good girl. £150.
0:25:12 > 0:25:13You are plus £50 on that.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Overall, minus 50.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Now, here we go!
0:25:17 > 0:25:21Clarice Cliff, Bizarre ashtray. Neat one. Interest again.
0:25:21 > 0:25:2380. 90. 100. 10.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26At 110, the money's here.
0:25:26 > 0:25:2715 if it helps in the room. £110.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31With me at 110.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Yes, I don't believe it!
0:25:33 > 0:25:37110, you've made £60 back, which means you are plus 10!
0:25:37 > 0:25:39How brilliant is that?!
0:25:39 > 0:25:43That is so good. What a helter-skelter, eh?
0:25:43 > 0:25:45You must be chuffed about that.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Poor old bench, though! We liked the bench.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50But good old Clarice!
0:25:50 > 0:25:54You are £10 up. What are you going to do about this Tudric pewter mug?
0:25:54 > 0:25:59Are you gonna ringfence the £10, or are you gonna go with David's choice?
0:25:59 > 0:26:01You've got to make your mind up quick.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04He's very good to us, isn't he?
0:26:04 > 0:26:06- Thanks for that! - We'll back our David.
0:26:06 > 0:26:12You're gonna back our David? You're gonna stake all your £10 winnings on his... You're gonna go with the pot.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15We're going with the bonus buy, we're going with the pewter tankard.
0:26:15 > 0:26:22- Here it comes.- 164 is a Liberty Tudric pewter tankard. Golf motif.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25£30 for it. 30's bid.
0:26:25 > 0:26:285. 40. 5. At £45.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29More!
0:26:29 > 0:26:31At 45...
0:26:34 > 0:26:36£45!
0:26:36 > 0:26:41You have made £35 on that, which means overall you are plus £45!
0:26:41 > 0:26:44How about that?!
0:26:44 > 0:26:47- Well done, both of you! - That is something else, isn't it?
0:26:47 > 0:26:49How chuff-making.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52You make a profit on your Clarice Cliff, you make a profit on your
0:26:52 > 0:26:55artist's box, and you make a profit on your pewter! Three in a row!
0:26:55 > 0:26:57What could be better than that?
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Don't tell the Reds a thing, all right?
0:27:00 > 0:27:03In fact, go out looking rather depressed. Very good!
0:27:06 > 0:27:07It's a number 26.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Well, well, well, who would have predicted all this fun?
0:27:20 > 0:27:23- Have we had a good time?- Yes.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25- You've been talking to one another? - No.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Keeping everything on the QT, have we?
0:27:28 > 0:27:29This is the moment to reveal all.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33I have to reveal that the runners-up today are the Reds.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41- So sorry. - Congratulations.- Gracious in defeat.
0:27:41 > 0:27:46It started off so well, didn't it, that £30 profit on your corner cupboard.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Then we all got mangled in the end.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50We lost it. I know.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52The mangle, what can I say?
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Don't worry about it, that's the whole thing. It was a sweet object.
0:27:55 > 0:28:00- It was, there was just no-one here that was young at heart. - Not that young, anyway!
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Anyway, I hope you've had a good time, cos you've been a great team.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06The three of you have been a great team.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Thank you so much for joining us anyway.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11But the victors today, the Blues.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15This is amazing, you're going to go home with money.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19It never happens! Didn't start off so well, though, did it?
0:28:19 > 0:28:23That £100 going down the drain on the bench. But you clawed it back.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26So, thoroughly well-deserved result.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Which is plus £45.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32I have to ask, what are you going to do with your £45 winnings?
0:28:32 > 0:28:35We're going to be giving it to Macmillan Cancer Research.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37A very noble cause, and I'm sure they'll be grateful.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40Thank you very much for joining us. We have had a fantastic show.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43- Join us soon for some more Bargain Hunting. Yes? - ALL: Yes!
