Our contestants today have both rocketed up the charts. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:07 | |
But will they find any chart-busting bargains today? | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
Let's find out. Let's go bargain hunting! | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
Hello and welcome to Famous Finds. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
We're in Farnham in Surrey at The Antiques Warehouse and we're waiting for our famous guests. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:53 | |
Today's contestants are two chicks who have made their fortune using their voices, | 0:00:57 | 0:01:03 | |
but does that mean they're going to be any good at bartering? | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
Our dynamic divas are given £300 to find three objects, | 0:01:07 | 0:01:11 | |
the object being, of course, to make a profit at auction. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:15 | |
If they make a profit, they get to keep it. Now let's meet today's contestants. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:20 | |
If only we could find them! | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
For the Red Team, meet Toyah. She was an icon of the early '80s punk rock scene | 0:01:22 | 0:01:28 | |
and was well known for her powerful style and outrageous hair. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:32 | |
She shot up the charts with records like I Want To Be Free and It's A Mystery. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:38 | |
# It's a mystery Oh, it's a mystery | 0:01:38 | 0:01:43 | |
# I'm still searching for a clue | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
# It's a mystery... # | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
Her varied career has seen her on stage and screen. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:53 | |
Many know her as the voice of children's series Brum and as Barmy Aunt Boomerang. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:58 | |
When I was in Cobblers, I was trampled on by a gang of stampeding wallabies. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:04 | |
She's not afraid to hold back, but will she be able to drive a hard bargain? | 0:02:04 | 0:02:09 | |
Welcome, Toyah. You're a strong character. Why did you want to take part on Bargain Hunt? | 0:02:09 | 0:02:14 | |
Because I watch Bargain Hunt and always think I can do better. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:19 | |
-Isn't that a trap everyone falls into? -I don't know. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
It's quite fun looking at the box and saying, "Why did they buy that terrible thing?" | 0:02:22 | 0:02:27 | |
It is the thrill of buying something that will sell for more money. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:32 | |
Do you have any form of collectable that really gets you excited? | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
I adore Troika. I think it's fantastic. It reminds me of my childhood holidays. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:41 | |
-I love the modernism that came out of Cornwall. I get terribly excited by it. -I can tell that. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:47 | |
A bit more excitement perhaps later. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
-Who have you brought to help you in this task today? -I've brought my best friend John. John Wain. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:56 | |
-John Wain! -Hi, Tim. -You're not on the back of a horse! -Not quite. | 0:02:56 | 0:03:01 | |
-How do you know each other? -I met John when he was impersonating me | 0:03:01 | 0:03:05 | |
at his nightclub in Stoke-on-Trent. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
-So you're a nightclub owner? -Yeah, a drag queen nightclub owner. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
-Is this the hottest place in Stoke? -Yes. We've been there for 14 years. It's called The Club. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:17 | |
-It's the longest established gay club in the Midlands. -There'll be queues of people pitching up any minute. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:23 | |
He's got the best legs in the world. They're better than mine. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:27 | |
-How will you get on as a team? -We'll get on brilliantly as a team. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:31 | |
There will be a bit of arguing because John is more feminine in his taste than I am. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:37 | |
-I don't believe that at all. -There will be a bit of debate. -No. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:41 | |
-Have you got any tricks up your sleeves? -That would be telling. -What a tease! Anyway, very good luck. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:47 | |
And they'll be up against another pop diva, Kiki Dee. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:51 | |
Discovered singing with a band at the age of 16, her career spans four decades. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:57 | |
She started off singing backing vocals for Dusty Springfield, | 0:03:57 | 0:04:01 | |
but is still best known for her duet with Rocket Man Elton John. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:06 | |
# Don't go breaking my heart | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
# You take the weight off of me... # | 0:04:09 | 0:04:13 | |
Their single Don't Go Breaking My Heart sent them to No.1 for six weeks. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:19 | |
She also had hits with I've Got The Music In Me and Star. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:27 | |
She duetted with Elton again in '93 and they topped the charts with True Love. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:33 | |
But will she fall in love with any bargains today? | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
So, Kiki, you have an amazing back catalogue of songs. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:41 | |
Have any bits of pop memorabilia come your way during your career? | 0:04:41 | 0:04:46 | |
I'm not really a collector because I've always lived in small spaces, | 0:04:46 | 0:04:50 | |
but I do have my '70s silver boots with the rhinestone heels. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:55 | |
-The nice nine-inch jobs? -Yes. And I'm keeping those. -Yes. | 0:04:55 | 0:05:00 | |
I've got some vases that Elton gave me on my 50th which are beautiful Italian pieces | 0:05:00 | 0:05:06 | |
in lovely yellows and reds and blues. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:08 | |
-You're great mates? -Yeah, we are. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
We're like brothers and sisters. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:13 | |
-Are you still touring? -I am still touring. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
I do acoustic music now with my music partner, Carmelo Luggeri. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:20 | |
We do theatres and festivals. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:23 | |
-If they want us, we'll go. -Yes, absolutely. -Anywhere. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
-Who have you brought along to help you today? -My oldest friend Jenny. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:31 | |
-Oldest friend? -Yes. -That's pretty cool. -It goes back a long way. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:35 | |
So how did you meet then? | 0:05:35 | 0:05:37 | |
My ex is a songwriter and he wrote the lyrics to Amoureuse | 0:05:37 | 0:05:41 | |
which Kiki recorded and had a hit with and Elton produced. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:45 | |
We became very good friends. She got locked out of her flat one night and came and knocked on our door. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:52 | |
-But the next day, we found out that the door wasn't locked, so it was serendipity. -A coincidence. -Yeah. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:58 | |
-Are you keen on antique fairs and auctions, Jenny? -Yes, my husband and I have a house in France. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:04 | |
We go to vide-greniers all around the country and we drag Kiki along with us. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:09 | |
-Bless her, she's very tolerant. -Yeah. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:12 | |
-Are you gonna beat the opposition today? -We'll give it a good try. -They're looking scared over here! | 0:06:12 | 0:06:18 | |
Look at John's face! | 0:06:18 | 0:06:20 | |
Anyway, the money moment, £300 apiece, the moment that you have been waiting for. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:26 | |
There's your £300. You know the rules. Your experts await and off you go. And very, very good luck. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:33 | |
So will they be hitting the high notes or the bum notes? | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
One thing's for certain. They won't be singing solos because their experts are here to serenade them. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:42 | |
With our Red Team, James Braxton, | 0:06:47 | 0:06:49 | |
who never misses out on a chance to catch up with the latest tunes. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:54 | |
And for the Blues, David Harper, who might be out of date with his music, | 0:06:55 | 0:07:00 | |
but he is certainly up to date with his collectables. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:04 | |
They're here to offer advice and help to our contestants. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:11 | |
It looks like Toyah is making a cracking start. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:19 | |
-We like these for their unusualness. -Goodness! | 0:07:19 | 0:07:23 | |
Two cats dressed in historical costumes, 18th century costume, | 0:07:23 | 0:07:27 | |
breeches, long coat, ruffs going on here. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:31 | |
What sort of spirit do you think they are in? The ticket here says "1950s". | 0:07:31 | 0:07:37 | |
I thought they'd be '50s, '60s, yeah. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
-There's no breakages, obviously. -Yeah. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
A little bit of glaze crackling. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:46 | |
-I think that adds to it. There's nothing missing. -The interesting thing is they're made in Italy. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:52 | |
But I can't see them from Commedia dell'arte. They're Neapolitan. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:56 | |
So they're from the south, sort of Naples, Capi di Monte. | 0:07:56 | 0:08:00 | |
-Are they tourist pieces, do you think? -I think so. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:04 | |
They're quite sort of Galle school, the French artist Emile Galle, with these very green eyes. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:10 | |
Is that a good thing? | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
-Well, Galle cats make a fortune. -We like the sound of that. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:17 | |
-Thousands. But how much are they? -45 for the pair. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:21 | |
They don't seem unreasonable. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |
-What do you think we should try for? -As low as poss. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:27 | |
-I'll leave it in your capable hands. -Let's go and negotiate. -Go on. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:32 | |
And they knocked a whole tenner off with their capable hands paying £35. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:40 | |
But will the Blues be as dexterous with their next item? | 0:08:40 | 0:08:45 | |
-This is rather pretty. -What does it say it is? -It says that it's a cigar holder. It's too tiny though. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:51 | |
You'd think you'd put the cigar in there, then you'd be very posh and suck on it at this end. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:57 | |
But there's no hole. So do you know what it is? | 0:08:57 | 0:09:01 | |
A cigar...cigar holder. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:03 | |
It is. It's a cigar...cigar holder. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:07 | |
-Holder holder holder. -Exactly. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:09 | |
Made for a very posh person. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:11 | |
He not only had probably a solid silver cigar holder that he used to smoke through. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:17 | |
-He actually had a holder for the holder! -Brilliant. -There are the hallmarks. Made in Birmingham. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:23 | |
In 1938, the year before the Second World War, | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
so the last of the good old years before the whole world blew up. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:30 | |
-There are still people who smoke cigars. -There are. And you've got a little chain. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:36 | |
That attaches to a fob of some sort. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:38 | |
Then when you want your cigar, you get your cigar holder case, | 0:09:38 | 0:09:42 | |
you get your cigar holder out and smoke your cigar. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:46 | |
-So do you think it's a contender? -It says 40 here. Is that a good price? -I think so. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:51 | |
-It's solid silver. It's got to be cheap at that. -It's very different. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:56 | |
-It's a bit quirky. -We like quirky. -We do. -Kiki, do we all like quirky? | 0:09:56 | 0:10:00 | |
Yeah. I thought it was a lipstick. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:03 | |
Hey, Kiki, use that as a lipstick! | 0:10:03 | 0:10:05 | |
-Yeah, let's see what we can get. -Shall we try? -Yeah. -OK. -All right. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:10 | |
And for £30, it seems they got a quirky deal. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:16 | |
Now, I want to get to the bottom of Toyah's passion for Troika pottery. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:22 | |
If you were to ask me why I liked it, | 0:10:22 | 0:10:26 | |
I spent my summers in Cornwall as a child. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:29 | |
And I think Troika is incredibly honest about the landscape - | 0:10:29 | 0:10:33 | |
the shape of the tin mines, | 0:10:33 | 0:10:36 | |
the shape of the standing stones. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
For me, Cornwall is about nature and it's about the links to paganism | 0:10:38 | 0:10:44 | |
that never got eradicated during Victorian times. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
-It's clever stuff. -Very clever. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
Troika is a factory that is incredibly collectable today. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:54 | |
If you take a big pot like that, that is by somebody called Pascoe. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:58 | |
If I turn it up, you can see underneath, | 0:10:58 | 0:11:01 | |
there's her initials for Marilyn Pascoe. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:05 | |
It's crudely signed, almost with a felt-tip pen, in a way. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:09 | |
Of course, it says St Ives on this one. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:12 | |
That dates this piece to before 1970 because the factory moved out of St Ives to Newlyn in that year, | 0:11:12 | 0:11:19 | |
so this might be maybe 1969, something like that. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:23 | |
They are the antithesis really of some studio potters | 0:11:23 | 0:11:27 | |
that were operating traditionally in Cornwall in the St Ives area. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:31 | |
-We've got here a couple of bits of Bernard Leach. -That's gorgeous. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:36 | |
That, as a pot, is the ultimate functional pot. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:41 | |
Troika, by the time they established themselves in St Ives in the early '60s, | 0:11:41 | 0:11:47 | |
were far more interested, not in function, so to speak, | 0:11:47 | 0:11:53 | |
but in creating a decorative look. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:55 | |
That is not really effective as a vase, is it? | 0:11:55 | 0:11:59 | |
But it's still just wonderfully mad. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:02 | |
Well, it could be yours at a price. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:04 | |
A big pot like this, if it was perfect, it might retail perhaps at £750, | 0:12:04 | 0:12:10 | |
which is quite a lot of money, but on the other hand, it is an iconic object and rather fun. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:17 | |
If it takes you back to happy days in Cornwall, what's wrong with that? | 0:12:17 | 0:12:22 | |
Oh, those happy days! Now, on with the shopping. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:28 | |
-What do you think, Ki? I quite like that. -It's lovely, isn't it? -It's pretty. -Yeah. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:33 | |
-And it's sort of with the stand. -Yeah. It's versatile, isn't it? | 0:12:33 | 0:12:37 | |
Let's ask our expert. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:39 | |
-Is that me? -Yes. -Are you sure? -What do you think? -Have they always belonged together? -Not necessarily. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:47 | |
-But they look nice together. -They do. I think that is really today, the old and new mixing together. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:54 | |
It's recently been buffed up. That's nice. Look at that. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:58 | |
-Marking on the bottom, "Made in London". -That's nice. -Looks quality. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:02 | |
Nice maker's stamp there. How old do you think it is then, Kiki? | 0:13:02 | 0:13:07 | |
I'd say probably about 1940? | 0:13:07 | 0:13:10 | |
-Something like that? Or is it older? -It's older. -A bit earlier. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:14 | |
This is quite Art Nouveau, 1890. But it has an Arts and Crafts feel to it as well, | 0:13:14 | 0:13:20 | |
two movements going on at the same time in the late 19th century. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:24 | |
And similarly with that, I think that's late 19th, early 20th century, | 0:13:24 | 0:13:29 | |
so much older than you might think. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:31 | |
Hold that, Jenny. Let's have a look at this base. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:35 | |
-That's actually copper and brass. -Very nice. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
That's nice. It's hollow, but it's really well made. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:42 | |
-It's a dish. -You'd use it for something like planting. -Exactly. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:47 | |
-What are they priced at? -95. -95 for the two. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
-If we could get it down a bit, it might be a contender. -We'll try. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:54 | |
What I like about that is I haven't seen exactly that stand ever before | 0:13:54 | 0:13:59 | |
and I don't think anyone will have done, so they'll not say, "We see these things every week." | 0:13:59 | 0:14:05 | |
-We need to make it a bargain now. -Who's the best bargain maker? | 0:14:05 | 0:14:10 | |
Let's flutter our eyelashes. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:12 | |
Go on. It's working on me! | 0:14:12 | 0:14:15 | |
Those charmers fluttered the price down to £50. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:21 | |
And Toyah seems to be bedazzled by something she's found. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:27 | |
-I really like this. -It's great. -It's unusual, isn't it? | 0:14:27 | 0:14:31 | |
There's a beautiful quality about it. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:34 | |
There's virtually no damage... that I can see, anyway. And the quality is fantastic. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:40 | |
The column is good. It's got a cast-iron base, so it's not gonna topple over. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:45 | |
I can tell you both that there are three bulbs in the top here. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:50 | |
And the sockets have got some age. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:52 | |
It can't possibly be Edwardian, | 0:14:52 | 0:14:56 | |
but I think it's some sort of funny, sort of 1930s probably. | 0:14:56 | 0:15:00 | |
-Uplights are expensive anyway, aren't they? -Very expensive. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:04 | |
-We could get a good price on this. It's 150 at the moment, so we could work that down. -That's a good price. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:10 | |
This has a real novelty aspect to it, very glam. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:14 | |
It's glamorous. Even though there is a novelty side to it, it's still really good-looking. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:20 | |
-I think it's a winner. -Oh, good. -Yeah. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:23 | |
So we should go and negotiate it down? | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
The lower we can get it, the greater chance of a profit. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:30 | |
-We're going to need your skills. -Let's go and do it. -Be butch. -I'll try. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:35 | |
John's manly approach earned them a bright £50 discount. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:40 | |
Now, Kiki might be a rock star, but her grandmother had a very different star quality. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:47 | |
Those women were amazing, but she was a haberdasher? | 0:15:47 | 0:15:51 | |
Yes, this is the tablecloth that my grandmother made with her own hands. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:55 | |
And she worked in a shop up in Yorkshire. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:59 | |
She used to make all my clothes as a child, and my sister. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:03 | |
-It's lovely that it's come through to you. -Yes. -You love it to bits. -I really like it. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:08 | |
What she would have done is to buy a bolt of cloth, might have cost her five bob, entirely plain. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:14 | |
And cut out that polygon, so that was a loose piece of material. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:19 | |
Then the whole of the rest of this scalloped thing is crochet work. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:24 | |
She would have done that literally like lace-making with needles | 0:16:24 | 0:16:29 | |
and then inserted her worked piece in the gap. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:33 | |
And you can see the four oval panels running in the four corners | 0:16:33 | 0:16:37 | |
-which I think look spectacular when you've got a bit of mahogany coming through. -Absolutely. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:43 | |
They are amazing people and their crafts. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:46 | |
You've shown me yours, so I'm going to show you mine. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:50 | |
-Fabulous. -What do you think about that? -It's lovely. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
-Nice, soft colours. -Yes, it's really beautiful. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:56 | |
This is all made of silk | 0:16:56 | 0:16:59 | |
and your grandma could easily have been selling dyed silks | 0:16:59 | 0:17:04 | |
for people to make up into exquisite pieces like this, | 0:17:04 | 0:17:08 | |
except that the design of this is William Morris. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:11 | |
And Morris and Co would actually have women employed by the firm stitching the whole thing | 0:17:11 | 0:17:18 | |
or they'd sell them as kits where you'd buy the printed piece of linen with the pattern on it. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:24 | |
This looks rather professional to me. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:26 | |
-Would it be professional? -It's difficult to tell, frankly. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:30 | |
Because the skill of the amateurs, slightly like your grandma, was so high | 0:17:30 | 0:17:36 | |
that they were as good as the women working for William Morris producing this stuff. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:42 | |
The fact of the matter is that it is Morris and Co period, | 0:17:42 | 0:17:46 | |
so we're talking about the 1880s. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
It's in brilliant condition. Anything by Morris or associated with Morris is very collectable. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:55 | |
And as a result, this would cost you today, retail, £1,200. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:59 | |
-1,200? -Nigh. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:02 | |
It's even more beautiful than it was before. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:06 | |
-It's brass, isn't it? -No, it's tapestry, love! -Oh! | 0:18:06 | 0:18:10 | |
Our teams are happily disposing of their £300 | 0:18:19 | 0:18:23 | |
and if there is any cash left over, they'll be giving it to their experts. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:27 | |
The expert will spend it on a bonus buy which will be revealed to the team at auction. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:33 | |
-Oh! -You like that? -Hmm. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:36 | |
They will then have the tricky task of deciding whether to take the bonus buy | 0:18:36 | 0:18:42 | |
as any profit it makes, they keep. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:44 | |
But if it makes a loss, they do too. Tricky stuff! | 0:18:44 | 0:18:48 | |
Let's go and catch up with today's songstresses and see whether they've spotted any bargains. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:55 | |
And James always knows how to get a rock chick excited. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:59 | |
-What about this? -It's really lovely. -We've been looking for silver items. -Is it solid silver? | 0:18:59 | 0:19:05 | |
No, it isn't, unfortunately. I think it's sort of nickel silver. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:09 | |
And it would be a sheet of metal that would have been stamped out, die-stamped, so on a machine. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:15 | |
-It's beautiful. How old do you think it is? -I think it's continental. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:20 | |
I think it's sort of new style, Jugendstil. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:23 | |
I think it's that sort of...slight transition, quite Art Deco-ey. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:28 | |
It's stylised, isn't it? | 0:19:28 | 0:19:30 | |
-Anybody know the purpose of this? -Storage of something. -A plant? | 0:19:30 | 0:19:34 | |
-I think it's a siphon stand. -Gosh! -That's clever. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:37 | |
So, soda siphons, part of every drinks tray. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:41 | |
Before all our canned stuff, you would have had a soda siphon. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:45 | |
It's a siphon stand, but you could use it today on the table for putting a wine bottle in. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:51 | |
-You don't need to put anything in it. It's really beautiful. -It is beautiful. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:56 | |
It's so evocative of Art Deco. I think it's gorgeous. | 0:19:56 | 0:20:00 | |
Can we afford it? | 0:20:00 | 0:20:02 | |
You'll be pleased to know we can. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:04 | |
It's priced at £35. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:07 | |
-That's so inexpensive. -I know. It's lovely, isn't it? | 0:20:07 | 0:20:11 | |
-Do you think we should negotiate lower? -Of course we should. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:15 | |
-Isn't that theft? -No, it's out there for the taking. You haven't seen the auction room yet! | 0:20:15 | 0:20:21 | |
-I think definitely we would love that. -Yeah, good. Brilliant. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:25 | |
-Shall we take it? -No, I'll go and negotiate. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:29 | |
-Oh. -Oh. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:31 | |
Who'd have thought it? James Braxton leading Toyah astray and getting the price down to just £20. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:39 | |
Kiki and Jenny have been searching hard | 0:20:39 | 0:20:42 | |
and have found something that makes them smile. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:46 | |
Kiki and I have found this and we think it's lovely. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:49 | |
It's quirky, but practical. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:52 | |
-Practical? What for? -It's a butter dish. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:55 | |
-Would you use it as a butter dish? -If I had a large table, I would. | 0:20:55 | 0:21:00 | |
-Some people might think it's unattractive, but I think it's attractive. -You're absolutely right. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:06 | |
Half the population will say that is absolutely revolting and the rest will say it's wonderful. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:12 | |
Personally, I think it's absolutely fabulous. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:15 | |
-Good. -Just like you, it makes me smile. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:18 | |
You can't fail to be impressed with it, can you? It's lovely. How old do you think it is? | 0:21:18 | 0:21:24 | |
-'30s? -Yeah, it is. It's Melba ware. So it's made by... Yeah, OK, Wain and Sons. Staffordshire. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:32 | |
-1930s. Probably late, maybe '40s. -OK. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:35 | |
-In perfect condition? -I don't think it's ever been used for butter in its life. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:42 | |
It looks absolutely brand new... which is a bit of a worry! | 0:21:42 | 0:21:47 | |
-Oh, dear! -Yes! But no... | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
-That stamp is nicely worn. It's not faked. -Right. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:55 | |
How much is it? 40. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:57 | |
That's not dear, is it? | 0:21:57 | 0:21:59 | |
-I'd pay 40 for it. -I would. Look at the face there, | 0:21:59 | 0:22:04 | |
-on both the cow and the little girl. -And the back is quite sweet. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:08 | |
-He's got a bottom, too! -Exactly. It's something you'd love to do as a kid - jump on a cow! | 0:22:08 | 0:22:15 | |
-It's great fun. -And if we get a bit off... -They'll do that, I'm sure. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:21 | |
-Where would you find a new one of this quality for that amount? -Exactly. -Really good quality. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:27 | |
60 years old. I think it's a bargain. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:31 | |
-Who's the negotiator? -Let's just ask! Let's just say, "Look... Look, lovey... | 0:22:31 | 0:22:38 | |
"We need a little off this." I think we should go and try. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:43 | |
-OK, let's go and get her. -OK. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:45 | |
The Blues knocked the butter dish down to an a-moo-sing £25. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:52 | |
Let's hope they haven't spread their money too thinly. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:57 | |
Time's up! Let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:04 | |
Hot in at three, the Red team paid £35 for the pair | 0:23:07 | 0:23:12 | |
of 1960s Italian pottery cats. Miaow! | 0:23:12 | 0:23:16 | |
At two, it's a mystery how they managed to get their Art Deco siphon stand down to just £20. | 0:23:16 | 0:23:24 | |
Currently at number one, it's the 1930s brass uplighter bought for £100. | 0:23:24 | 0:23:29 | |
Let's hope it lights up the sale room. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:33 | |
-Which is your favourite piece? -For me it's the lamp. -The cats. -That's the favourites. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:42 | |
You spent £155. Not too bad. I'd like £145 of leftover lolly, going straight to James Braxton | 0:23:42 | 0:23:49 | |
to find that Bonus Buy. How difficult will this be? | 0:23:49 | 0:23:54 | |
There's lots here, lots of choice. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:56 | |
-I think I've spotted something to complement our uplighter. -Well, trot off and get it. | 0:23:56 | 0:24:02 | |
Meanwhile, let's remind ourselves what the Blues bought. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:06 | |
Hurtling in at number three, the Blues go crazy for their silver cigar holder, | 0:24:06 | 0:24:12 | |
dated 1938 and bought for £30. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:15 | |
At two, don't go breaking our hearts with the brass copper vase and stand bought for £50. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:23 | |
And cowabunga! In at number one is the Melba ware butter dish. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:28 | |
At £25, let's hope it melts some of our bidders' hearts. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:32 | |
-Well, you enjoyed that, didn't you? -Yeah. -It was great. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:39 | |
-You spent a miserable £105! -I know! Aren't we tight? | 0:24:39 | 0:24:44 | |
-I'd like £195 of leftover lolly, please. -I thought you would. -Anyway, 195. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:49 | |
-Bless your heart. -Good buyers. They are real bargain hunters, these two! | 0:24:49 | 0:24:55 | |
And great fun, too. We've got a real unusual mix of goods here. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:59 | |
-I've got my mind on something even odder. -Oh, good! -We'll have real unusual gear! | 0:24:59 | 0:25:05 | |
Good luck, David. The teams are very keen on their purchases, but will the auctioneer agree? | 0:25:05 | 0:25:12 | |
Coming up on Bargain Hunt Famous Finds: something's got Toyah blushing. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:19 | |
And the Blues are at a loss for words. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:23 | |
# When two tribes go to war A point is all that you can score... # | 0:25:23 | 0:25:29 | |
But before battle commences, let's find out what our auctioneer thinks about their lots | 0:25:29 | 0:25:36 | |
over at the Chiswick Auction House in West London. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:40 | |
-Good morning. -Good morning. -Very nice to be here. Now our first team, Toyah and John, | 0:25:40 | 0:25:46 | |
-went with these rather wacky Italian figures. What do you make of those, William? -Good fun. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:52 | |
-They're not terribly old, though. -They feel '60s to me. Do you think they're '60s? | 0:25:52 | 0:25:58 | |
-I think they might be. Cats are a good subject. -What's your estimate? -Only £20-£30. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:04 | |
That's OK. £35 was paid. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:07 | |
they're not too far off. Now, the Art Deco siphon holder. | 0:26:07 | 0:26:11 | |
-It's got that '20s look to it. -And the way the brass is coming through is quite attractive. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:18 | |
I agree. If it looks too new, it could be a reproduction. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:23 | |
I think it's from between the wars. What's your estimate, William? | 0:26:23 | 0:26:28 | |
-Another £20-£30. -£20 paid on that, so if you get £30, we'll be very, very pleased. | 0:26:28 | 0:26:34 | |
-We'll try our best! -And then this uplighter. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:38 | |
-I quite like lit interiors. -It's very nice and not too high. It's good for a flat. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:45 | |
-Fully tested and ready to go. Estimate? -£60-£80. -They paid £100. | 0:26:45 | 0:26:51 | |
So there might be a dark hole there so, just in case, | 0:26:51 | 0:26:55 | |
perhaps they'll need their Bonus Buy, so let's have a look at it! | 0:26:55 | 0:26:59 | |
-Toyah, John, you OK? -A little bit nervous. -Yes? | 0:26:59 | 0:27:03 | |
-Quietly confident. -I'm glad to hear that. | 0:27:03 | 0:27:08 | |
You're standing next to James Braxton, who is a legend. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:12 | |
You gave him £145 of leftover lolly to find your Bonus Buy. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:17 | |
-So show us your wares, James. -I think I bought wisely on this. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:22 | |
Oh! | 0:27:22 | 0:27:23 | |
-You like that? -Mmm! -It's a jardiniere. -Jardiniere. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:28 | |
-Made of brass. -It's quite dull. -It looks as though it was gilded at one point. | 0:27:28 | 0:27:34 | |
It's suffered the rigours of probably being in a cold garage. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:39 | |
It comes from this very famous Bavarian manufacturer, WMF. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:45 | |
-It's a big name in decorative art circles. -How much did you pay? | 0:27:45 | 0:27:50 | |
-This is the crucial bit. -£40. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:52 | |
But are these things popular? They feel a bit old-fashioned. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:57 | |
-Very popular in West London, where we are today. -Seriously? | 0:27:57 | 0:28:01 | |
It's capital of the aspidistra! They've got more net curtains to twitch in West London | 0:28:01 | 0:28:08 | |
and indoor plants... | 0:28:08 | 0:28:11 | |
-Very good for the humidity of your furniture. -He's taking the mickey! | 0:28:11 | 0:28:16 | |
-Just concentrate on the price. £40. -Hold that thought. You don't decide right now. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:23 | |
For the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks of the aspidistra stand! | 0:28:23 | 0:28:31 | |
Well, here we go, William. A piece of period metalwork. Nice. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:36 | |
-Some would say tinny. -It's good in so far as it's WMF | 0:28:36 | 0:28:41 | |
and that is a collectible make. The finish isn't terribly attractive. | 0:28:41 | 0:28:46 | |
-But it's got some nice design. -James bought this as the Bonus Buy. He really rates this object. | 0:28:46 | 0:28:53 | |
-He thinks he'll make a splendido profit on it. He paid £40. What's your estimate? -£80-£120. -Really?! | 0:28:53 | 0:29:01 | |
-It's got a good chance. The stand is a help. -Yes, absolutely. -It's all ready to go. -A period piece. | 0:29:01 | 0:29:07 | |
As you say, it is stamped up and that's the important thing. | 0:29:07 | 0:29:12 | |
Now for the Blues, Kiki Dee and her friend got really excited about their cigar holder. | 0:29:12 | 0:29:19 | |
-Oddball object. -It's not the most practical thing you could buy, | 0:29:19 | 0:29:24 | |
but it's got some decorative appeal and is quite pretty, so... | 0:29:24 | 0:29:29 | |
-You could keep needles in it. -Short needles. -Well, all right! | 0:29:29 | 0:29:33 | |
Short needles. How much, then, do you think? | 0:29:33 | 0:29:37 | |
-That's £20-£30. -£30 was all they paid, so not a huge amount. | 0:29:37 | 0:29:43 | |
-Next is the copper stand and jardiniere. Did those two start off life together? -I don't think so. | 0:29:43 | 0:29:50 | |
They're very odd looking, but nice odd. They're the right colours and it's not an unattractive combination. | 0:29:50 | 0:29:58 | |
-What's your estimate? -We've put £60-£80 on. -Fine. They only paid £50. | 0:29:58 | 0:30:04 | |
That might turn them a profit. And what about this wacky butter dish? That's seriously '30s. | 0:30:04 | 0:30:11 | |
It's very good fun. I'm not sure what the little child is doing. | 0:30:11 | 0:30:16 | |
-She's embracing a moo cow. -It's not a make we're familiar with. -Melba ware? | 0:30:16 | 0:30:21 | |
But if you had to have a butter dish, it is good fun. | 0:30:21 | 0:30:26 | |
-And in quite good nick. -It is. It could have had the ears broken. Being perfect makes the difference. | 0:30:26 | 0:30:34 | |
-Estimate? -£25-£40. -Fine. They paid £25. So they're in with a shout with two objects. | 0:30:34 | 0:30:40 | |
They may not need their Bonus Buy, but let's have a look anyway. | 0:30:40 | 0:30:45 | |
So, Kiki and Jenny, you gave David £195, which is an awful lot of money! | 0:30:45 | 0:30:52 | |
-It is! -Has he spent the lot? Show us your wares! -Tell me if you think I've spent the lot. | 0:30:52 | 0:30:58 | |
-It's a Toby jug, is it? -Kind of. It's a tankard. | 0:30:58 | 0:31:03 | |
-First, you look at him that way. -A double face! -Look how happy he is. | 0:31:03 | 0:31:07 | |
He's delighted. It says "Marriage" there. He's just found the woman of his dreams and is delighted. | 0:31:07 | 0:31:13 | |
-One year later, turn him the right way round... -He's miserable! -It says "After marriage". | 0:31:13 | 0:31:19 | |
He's wearing a black cap. During the days of capital punishment, a judge wore a black cap. | 0:31:19 | 0:31:26 | |
So this guy's married, fed up, he's got his black cap on. | 0:31:26 | 0:31:31 | |
-Is it made by anyone in particular? -Yes. It doesn't say Doulton, | 0:31:31 | 0:31:36 | |
but I would lay money on it, in about 1880. | 0:31:36 | 0:31:39 | |
-Did you spend all the money? -How much do you think? -I've no idea. -100? | 0:31:39 | 0:31:45 | |
I wish you were one of my customers! 30 quid. | 0:31:45 | 0:31:49 | |
-Oh! -Her expression has suddenly gone from that...to that! | 0:31:49 | 0:31:54 | |
Your expert rates it, but we don't know everything, | 0:31:55 | 0:31:59 | |
so I think, for the viewers at home, let's chat to the auctioneer. | 0:31:59 | 0:32:03 | |
So, William, are you an optimist or a pessimist? Is your cup half full or half empty? | 0:32:03 | 0:32:10 | |
I like this little object. Turning it upside down is very entertaining. | 0:32:10 | 0:32:16 | |
-Do you think it might be Doulton? -I'm not sure. Doulton tend to mark their wares. | 0:32:16 | 0:32:23 | |
There were plenty of other factories making items of this sort. | 0:32:23 | 0:32:27 | |
-How much do you think it's worth? -£30? £30-£40? -That's great. | 0:32:27 | 0:32:31 | |
David paid £30 for it. He rates it. Who knows? It might turn a small profit. | 0:32:31 | 0:32:37 | |
-Are you our auctioneer today? -I am. -In good voice? -Absolutely. | 0:32:37 | 0:32:41 | |
We're in safe hands. | 0:32:41 | 0:32:43 | |
-Toyah, John, how are you feeling? -Excited. -Excited. -Are you worried? | 0:32:51 | 0:32:56 | |
-Slightly, but there's a fantastic crowd here. -Isn't it nice? | 0:32:56 | 0:33:00 | |
-And they've all pitched up to buy your exquisite items. -With pockets full of cash! -We'd like to think. | 0:33:00 | 0:33:07 | |
First lot up then are your Italian cats. | 0:33:07 | 0:33:11 | |
Lot 74 is the pair of amusing 20th century Italian pottery cats. | 0:33:11 | 0:33:16 | |
-Exciting! -10 I'm bid, straight off. £12. 14. | 0:33:16 | 0:33:21 | |
16. 18. 20. 22. | 0:33:21 | 0:33:23 | |
£22 there. Anybody else want to come in? 24. | 0:33:23 | 0:33:28 | |
Fresh bidder. 24 with the lady. Anybody else? | 0:33:28 | 0:33:32 | |
Selling for 24, then. | 0:33:32 | 0:33:35 | |
£24. John, that was not a good prediction. That's minus £7. | 0:33:35 | 0:33:39 | |
Not cat lovers, apparently. Here's the siphon stand. | 0:33:39 | 0:33:43 | |
Lot 76 is a bottle coaster. Unusual little lot. | 0:33:43 | 0:33:47 | |
I already have a £20 bid. With me at £20. | 0:33:47 | 0:33:52 | |
22. 24. 26. 28. £30. | 0:33:52 | 0:33:55 | |

46. 48. 50. | 0:34:01 | 0:34:04 | |
£50, then. Still with me at £50. Anyone? | 0:34:04 | 0:34:08 | |
-At £50... 55, just in time. At 55. -James! | 0:34:08 | 0:34:12 | |
All done, then? £55 in the room. | 0:34:12 | 0:34:15 | |
James, well picked! How good is that? Plus £35. | 0:34:15 | 0:34:19 | |
Overall, then, you are plus £24. And here comes the uplighter. | 0:34:19 | 0:34:24 | |
Lot 78 is the brass uplighter. Start bidding at £30 for it? | 0:34:24 | 0:34:30 | |
£20, then. Surely an uplighter must be worth £20. Thank you. | 0:34:30 | 0:34:34 | |
A maiden bid of 20. 22. | 0:34:34 | 0:34:37 | |
24. 26. 28. 28, 30. 32. | 0:34:37 | 0:34:43 | |

5. 70. 75. | 0:34:50 | 0:34:53 | |
At 75. It's going for 75. Anybody else? £75, then. | 0:34:53 | 0:34:57 | |
£75. You're £25 down, which means overall you're minus £1. | 0:34:57 | 0:35:02 | |
How terrible is this? You're minus £1! | 0:35:03 | 0:35:08 | |
-You are minus £1. -You can't even buy a paper! | 0:35:10 | 0:35:14 | |
-Oh, dear. It's less than a sandwich. What are you going to do? Go with James's jardiniere? -Yeah. | 0:35:16 | 0:35:22 | |
-Happy, John? -Yeah. -You're going to do it? -Definitely. | 0:35:22 | 0:35:26 | |
If it doesn't make a profit, you're in trouble! | 0:35:26 | 0:35:30 | |
So we're going with the jardiniere. Here it comes. | 0:35:30 | 0:35:34 | |
Lot 84 is a jardiniere. Is it worth £20? | 0:35:34 | 0:35:38 | |
20...everywhere! 22. | 0:35:38 | 0:35:40 | |
24. 26. 28. 30. | 0:35:40 | 0:35:43 | |

-50. 5. -In profit! -60. | 0:35:47 | 0:35:50 | |
65. 70. | 0:35:50 | 0:35:53 | |
-Well done, James. -75 here. | 0:35:53 | 0:35:56 | |

-95. 100. And 10. -That is amazing! | 0:36:00 | 0:36:03 | |
At £110. 110. | 0:36:03 | 0:36:05 | |
Anybody else want to come in? 110. | 0:36:05 | 0:36:09 | |
£110. James Braxton, you are a hero. | 0:36:09 | 0:36:13 | |
Plus £70. | 0:36:13 | 0:36:15 | |
Plus £70. Can you believe that? | 0:36:15 | 0:36:18 | |
-That is brilliant. -The boy has done you good. -And I hated it! | 0:36:18 | 0:36:23 | |
-We saw that and went, "Eugh!" -You've got the cash to go home. | 0:36:24 | 0:36:28 | |
In fact, you are plus £69. | 0:36:28 | 0:36:31 | |
-69. What a number! -It's a number on Bargain Hunt! | 0:36:31 | 0:36:36 | |
People don't make those profits and you have. Brilliant. | 0:36:36 | 0:36:40 | |
Now do me a favour - don't tell Kiki anything. | 0:36:40 | 0:36:44 | |
-This smile will say it all. -No! Go out looking gloomy! | 0:36:44 | 0:36:49 | |
-Have you talked to the Reds at all? -No idea, no. | 0:36:59 | 0:37:03 | |
Good. We don't want you to. That could affect whether you go with the Bonus Buy or not. | 0:37:03 | 0:37:09 | |
-How are you feeling? Confident? -Excited, actually. -It's good fun. | 0:37:09 | 0:37:13 | |
They're not. They're both panicking! Quivering in their boots! | 0:37:13 | 0:37:18 | |
No! These are two cool chicks. | 0:37:18 | 0:37:21 | |
The first lot up is the Birmingham silver cigar holder case. | 0:37:21 | 0:37:27 | |
112 is the silver bright-cut cigarette holder case. | 0:37:27 | 0:37:32 | |
I've got an enormous £20 bid to start me. On £20. | 0:37:32 | 0:37:37 | |
22 I'll take. 22 in the room. | 0:37:37 | 0:37:40 | |
-25. £25 there. -Come on! | 0:37:40 | 0:37:43 | |
28 there. 30. | 0:37:43 | 0:37:45 | |
-32. 35. -We're into profit! | 0:37:45 | 0:37:48 | |
38. 40. £40 I'm bid, then. In the middle at £40. | 0:37:48 | 0:37:54 | |
Anybody else? £40. | 0:37:54 | 0:37:56 | |
That's £10 profit, girls. That's brilliant. | 0:37:56 | 0:38:00 | |
-I'm excited! -The standing vase. | 0:38:00 | 0:38:03 | |
The brass and copper jardiniere stand. 113. Unusual item. | 0:38:03 | 0:38:09 | |
Is it worth £30? £20 to start me. £20 for the jardiniere? £20. | 0:38:09 | 0:38:14 | |
22. 24. 26. 28. 30. | 0:38:14 | 0:38:17 | |
-32. -Go on. -32. At 32. 34. | 0:38:17 | 0:38:21 | |
At £34 it goes, then. £34, then. | 0:38:21 | 0:38:25 | |
That's minus £16. | 0:38:25 | 0:38:28 | |
-Ohh! -Overall, you're minus £6. -I was shocked at that one. -Here comes the Melba ware. | 0:38:28 | 0:38:35 | |
114 is the Melba butter dish and cover. Showing for you there. Fun item. | 0:38:35 | 0:38:41 | |
10 for it? 10 I'm bid. A maiden bid of £10. At £10. | 0:38:41 | 0:38:45 | |
Anybody else want to come in? £12, the lady. 14. | 0:38:45 | 0:38:50 | |
-£16, standing. -Come on. -£16. | 0:38:50 | 0:38:54 | |
£18. £18 down below, then. At £18. Anybody else? | 0:38:54 | 0:38:58 | |
£18. | 0:38:58 | 0:39:00 | |
-You're minus £7 on that. -Not bad. -Which means minus £13 overall. | 0:39:00 | 0:39:05 | |
Well, it's not bad. It's not disastrous, is it? | 0:39:05 | 0:39:09 | |
-Not disastrous at all. -It's not over till it's over. -Going for that Doulton jug? | 0:39:09 | 0:39:15 | |
-Minus £13 could be a winning score. -We don't know, do we? | 0:39:15 | 0:39:20 | |
No. I think we should go for it. Life's too short. | 0:39:20 | 0:39:24 | |
-Oh, well done, Kiki. -And given what he paid for it. | 0:39:24 | 0:39:28 | |
-I think we should do it. -Fancy taking a punt? -Oh, yeah. | 0:39:28 | 0:39:33 | |
-Are you sure? -Yes! -Going with the Bonus Buy. | 0:39:33 | 0:39:36 | |
Lot 118 is this miniature jug with a double face. 118. | 0:39:36 | 0:39:41 | |
Is it worth £10. | 0:39:41 | 0:39:43 | |
A maiden bid of £10. £12. 14. 16. | 0:39:43 | 0:39:46 | |
18. 20. 22, in front of me. | 0:39:46 | 0:39:49 | |
-Come on. -Anybody else? -Come on! | 0:39:49 | 0:39:53 | |
26. 28. 30. | 0:39:53 | 0:39:55 | |
32. 34. 36. 38. | 0:39:55 | 0:39:59 | |
40. 45. 50. | 0:39:59 | 0:40:02 | |
£50 there. 5, somebody else? At £50, then. Anybody else? £50. | 0:40:02 | 0:40:07 | |
-Yes! -Well done. £50. -Saved our bacon! -Oh, well done. | 0:40:07 | 0:40:12 | |
Saved your bacon. Plus £20. That looked really dodgy. | 0:40:12 | 0:40:17 | |
Anyway, £50 paid. £20 profit from that. | 0:40:17 | 0:40:21 | |
You were minus £13, so you have £7 profit. | 0:40:21 | 0:40:26 | |
-At least we're in the black! -You are in profit. | 0:40:26 | 0:40:30 | |
-That's rare enough. -Absolutely. -Thank you. -Is it... -Sir! | 0:40:30 | 0:40:35 | |
Oh! Oh! | 0:40:35 | 0:40:37 | |
-Well done, you two. -Isn't he a lucky boy? -We are theatricals, darling! | 0:40:37 | 0:40:42 | |
-You have your £7 profit. Just don't tell the Reds. I will reveal all in a minute. -OK. | 0:40:42 | 0:40:48 | |
Isn't it marvellous to have two teams of winners? Two teams that have made profits! | 0:40:55 | 0:41:01 | |
It's just a question of scale. Which team has made marginally less profits today? | 0:41:01 | 0:41:07 | |
And that team is...the Blues. | 0:41:07 | 0:41:11 | |
Ohh! | 0:41:11 | 0:41:12 | |
I thought as much! | 0:41:12 | 0:41:14 | |
-The turn, that was very good! -You've done so well, guys. | 0:41:14 | 0:41:20 | |
Splendid profit on the Bonus Buy. The little character jug. | 0:41:20 | 0:41:24 | |
Overall, you have made...£7. | 0:41:24 | 0:41:27 | |
-Wow! -There's a fiver. I've got another couple in here. | 0:41:27 | 0:41:31 | |
-There is £7. -Thank you. -What are you going to do with it? | 0:41:31 | 0:41:36 | |
-We'll triple it and send it to Cancer Research. -Will you? -I think so. | 0:41:36 | 0:41:40 | |
-That's your charity. -Oh, yeah. -Have you had a nice time? -Amazing! | 0:41:40 | 0:41:45 | |
Thank you so much for having us! | 0:41:45 | 0:41:48 | |
You've been great. Thank you. | 0:41:48 | 0:41:51 | |
But the victors are the Reds. Look how pleased they are! | 0:41:51 | 0:41:55 | |
-And surprised! -And surprised! | 0:41:55 | 0:41:58 | |
Didn't look so good to start off, but the siphon stand, James, was a great success. | 0:41:58 | 0:42:04 | |
Not so good with the uplighter and then the jardiniere stand was the blinder, James. | 0:42:04 | 0:42:10 | |
You're the hero. Two massive profits. | 0:42:10 | 0:42:13 | |
And wearing such a bad tie as well! | 0:42:13 | 0:42:16 | |
You wouldn't think he'd be able to judge great antiques. | 0:42:16 | 0:42:21 | |
-I like the tie. -Give it a quick stroke. | 0:42:21 | 0:42:25 | |
-So you are £69 up. -Oh! | 0:42:25 | 0:42:29 | |
This is what they used to call folding money in the old days. Here's £4. How about that? | 0:42:29 | 0:42:35 | |
-Thank you. -What will you do with that? -Give half to John. | 0:42:35 | 0:42:40 | |
-It'll go to Macmillan Cancer Support. -A very noble cause. | 0:42:40 | 0:42:44 | |
-We've loved having you. Join us soon for some more bargain hunting! Yes? -ALL: Yes! | 0:42:44 | 0:42:51 | |
