0:00:02 > 0:00:05We've got plenty of this! Plenty of these...
0:00:05 > 0:00:09And, of course, we've got plenty of these!
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:37 > 0:00:44Hello and a huge Bargain Hunt welcome to the Mona Showground in Anglesey in Wales.
0:00:44 > 0:00:49And this is what we've got coming up on the show for you today.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52The Red team are in a real tizz.
0:00:52 > 0:00:57- If I could have two minutes... - In two minutes, we have to run.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Whilst the Blues rely on kiss and tell tactics.
0:01:01 > 0:01:06- 19's a deal and I'll give you a kiss. - Go on. 90 the pair, then.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Which way is it going to go when they finally get to auction?
0:01:10 > 0:01:12I would say we're in trouble.
0:01:14 > 0:01:15Yes!
0:01:15 > 0:01:19- You've made a pound! - A quid? I can't believe it!
0:01:21 > 0:01:27Before all that, let me set out my stall for you and remind you of the rules.
0:01:27 > 0:01:33We have two teams each with £300 and an hour
0:01:33 > 0:01:38and an expert to help them find three items which are sold later at auction.
0:01:38 > 0:01:46The team that makes the most profit wins. Quite straightforward, what? Let's see what they make of it.
0:01:50 > 0:01:56So today we have a father and son combo. That's Gareth and Chris.
0:01:56 > 0:02:02And for the Blues a husband and wife, happily married at the moment, John and Michelle.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Welcome to Bargain Hunt.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Chris, you're bonkers about sport.
0:02:08 > 0:02:14Any sport going. I like cricket, golf, trampolining, gymnastics...
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- And where do you do all these? - Mostly at Bangor University.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23- I'm captain of the cricket team. - Are you? What are you studying?
0:02:23 > 0:02:27Sport science with physical education. I want to be a PE teacher.
0:02:27 > 0:02:32- Now, Gareth...- Hi, Tim.- Does he get his sport obsession from you? - I think he probably does.
0:02:32 > 0:02:38- What are you keen on? - Football is my favourite sport. I used to run quite a lot.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42- And you're a bit of a collector? - I am. I love collecting.
0:02:42 > 0:02:47My favourite thing is sporting memorabilia. Football shirts.
0:02:47 > 0:02:53- The best thing in my collection is a match-worn George Best shirt. - The best from Best!
0:02:53 > 0:03:00- Worn by the great man in 1970. - Jolly good. You have some eclectic experience, so very good luck.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Now for the Blues. John, you're no stranger to the world of sport.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08No, I'm not, Tim. I ran in the 1968 Olympic Games.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13- You ran in the Games?!- Yes, I did. - Did you really?- I did.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17And I then competed in the Commonwealth Games in 1970.
0:03:17 > 0:03:23And I had a world record for 1,000 metres, a long time ago.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Well, that is something else!
0:03:26 > 0:03:30- Michelle, what sort of thing will you be looking out for? - Anything unusual.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35- Furniture's my thing, but £300 doesn't go very far.- That's true.
0:03:35 > 0:03:40- I like to collect Mousey Thompson furniture.- You might find an ashtray.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44I might just find an ashtray, yes. Nothing else.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48- What about you, John? - Well, I do collect Masai spears.
0:03:48 > 0:03:53We've got friends who live in Kenya and we go over there quite a lot.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57So you find a nice Masai warrior minding his own business
0:03:57 > 0:04:03- and say, "Excuse me, any chance of me..."- Absolutely. - "..having a go with your spear?"
0:04:03 > 0:04:09- As long as he doesn't want too big a swap.- Quite.- He'll do a deal and we bring the spear home.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14- What's the rate at the moment? - A few shillings. Kenyan shillings.
0:04:14 > 0:04:19- And off you go...- With your spear. And then you hang it up at home
0:04:19 > 0:04:25- and put one either side of the bed just in case.- Quite! Well, that's life.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27My gosh, what fun we'll have today!
0:04:27 > 0:04:32Now the Money Moment. £300 apiece. There you go. You know the rules.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Your experts await. Off you go! Good luck!
0:04:35 > 0:04:42So with all these sporty types about, will they fit it all in before the whistle blows?
0:04:42 > 0:04:47With just 60 minutes to shop and three items to buy,
0:04:47 > 0:04:51our experts are fully limbered up and ready for the off.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Fighting for the Reds...
0:04:53 > 0:04:56And for the Blues...
0:04:56 > 0:04:59And the competition is going to be fierce
0:04:59 > 0:05:03as they're going to be helping two teams of Reds and Blues,
0:05:04 > 0:05:08Chaps, if you see something, just dive in.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Grab it, don't be shy and then we'll talk about it.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16- What are you interested in? - I love Beswick, I love silver.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19And things like that meat dish.
0:05:19 > 0:05:26- Looks like the Reds have struck first with their eye on a piece of silver.- I like that.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- Gareth, what is it?- For mustard?
0:05:30 > 0:05:33It could be. More likely salt.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38That mark in the middle is Chester. And then the letter for 1918.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Bang on at the end of WWI.
0:05:40 > 0:05:47But if you look at the shape of it with those cabriole feet, the design is George II.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51- So it's a repro of...? - It's a repro of.
0:05:51 > 0:05:56- Yeah.- This period, late 19th, early 20th century, is a Georgian revival.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00If you didn't know, you'd think it's 1740, 1750.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- But the mark gives it away.- Yes.
0:06:03 > 0:06:08- What about price? What's the absolute best?- 75 really is my best.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12- It's not light. It's got some weight.- You get three pieces.
0:06:12 > 0:06:19- These are both Chester as well? - Yes. These are all the same. It's a set with three pieces.
0:06:19 > 0:06:24- So it's £75 for the three? - Absolutely. A very good price.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28How about if we made each piece 20 quid and we'll have them?
0:06:28 > 0:06:33Well, where I was educated, three times 20 comes to 70.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37So 70 would have to be the very, very best.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- What do you think, Dad? - Give it a go at 70 quid.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45- Are you happy?- Yeah.- Thank you. - Thank you very much.
0:06:45 > 0:06:50Good work, guys! The very first piece they view, they buy.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54Are the Blues making such swift decisions?
0:06:54 > 0:06:58120 the pair. Who's going to buy them?
0:06:58 > 0:07:04- I think those are quite nice, actually.- Who would buy those? - They're decorative for a cottage.
0:07:04 > 0:07:09- You could actually put a light in. - But would you do that?
0:07:09 > 0:07:14- Would you put a modern light in it? - Or use them purely as ornament.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18- Or put a little night light in. That would look quite nice.- Yes.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- Well, they've got...- Ah! - Can you see that? You've got red.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26- Would they be off a railway? - I think they are.
0:07:26 > 0:07:33- What would we have to get this down to?- 120. A pair of Victorian guardsman railway lanterns.
0:07:33 > 0:07:38- I love these.- Can I talk to him? - Do you really want...? Yes.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- I think we should.- I think Michelle.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Michelle, go and charm this gentleman.
0:07:44 > 0:07:51You'll have to smile! You will make a profit. They're very old and guardsmen's lamps.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55- I'll do 100 the pair.- 100. - Which gives you a fighting chance.
0:07:55 > 0:08:01- Would you do 90? - A little bit better. 95 and we'll call it quits.
0:08:01 > 0:08:0690 and you've got a deal. And I'll give you a kiss.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Come on. Go on. 90 the pair, then.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Give us a kiss. Thank you very much.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18Both teams have bought one item each within 20 minutes
0:08:18 > 0:08:22and that may leave plenty of time, but the teams aren't relaxing.
0:08:22 > 0:08:27Next up are the Reds, who have found some delightful figurines.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- Delightful for some, maybe. - Beautiful.- Pretty.- Do you like it?
0:08:31 > 0:08:37- What are you feeling? Do you feel she's English? - I think she's Japanese!
0:08:37 > 0:08:43- It's certainly oriental.- Yeah. - I think she's more Chinese. - Is she?- Yeah.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47- And it's made out of Blanc de Chine, or white porcelain.- Yeah.
0:08:47 > 0:08:52And there's more here. All Guan Yin, apart from this character.
0:08:52 > 0:08:57- Look at the damage.- His beard's gone.- He's missing part of it.
0:08:57 > 0:09:02They might be late-19th or up to mid-20th century. Not brand-new.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Let's get a price.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09- Are these individual or...? - No, they could go as a lot.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13I could sell them, including the lamp, if you like.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16OK. What sort of age, do you think?
0:09:16 > 0:09:22- I think they're about 1920s, but you probably know better. - Do you really think so?!
0:09:22 > 0:09:26I'd be looking at 120 as my very best on the set.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30That is the better Blanc de Chine.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- Are these popular in an auction? - Well, they can be.
0:09:33 > 0:09:41Particularly when they're really good quality. In ivory with a stamp on it would be an absolute fortune.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45We really do like it. We think £100 is about right.
0:09:45 > 0:09:50- And we'll pay you now. - Go on. All right.- OK?- Go on.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- Thank you very much indeed.- Thanks.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Second item down for the Reds.
0:09:55 > 0:10:00Now in the Blue corner they've found something far less feminine.
0:10:00 > 0:10:07- John's hoping this silver boxing medal will deliver a knockout blow. - This is quite a masculine item.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12- Tell me about it.- I like that. - Do you know the military connection?
0:10:12 > 0:10:16- It's the Guards Depot. - It's the Guards Depot and...
0:10:16 > 0:10:21- Let me see.- What are the initials at the bottom? RCT. Royal...
0:10:21 > 0:10:26- Corps of Transport. - And this is 1948.
0:10:26 > 0:10:33- 1948.- With the military connotation, I think that's quite interesting. - Yes, yes.
0:10:33 > 0:10:39- And you wanted something silver. - Yes.- What's the price?- It's 39.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42If we could get that for...30?
0:10:42 > 0:10:48- Would you be interested?- I'd be interested if we got a little off. - Perhaps a little bit less, yeah.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50- Shall I...- Yes.- ..negotiate?
0:10:50 > 0:10:55Whilst you're doing that, we'll look at some other things.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59John managed to knock down the boxing medal to £30.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Now, what have the Reds spotted?
0:11:03 > 0:11:07- See the brightly-coloured one? - The green one.- Let me grab that.
0:11:07 > 0:11:12- I don't like that, to be honest. - Tell me, Chris. Why?- I'm not sure.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16- I don't think it's as old as it looks.- How old does it look?
0:11:16 > 0:11:23It could go back to the 1700s by the look of it, but... something on top gives it away!
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- Yeah.- A bit of cork and a...
0:11:26 > 0:11:30It's also been made into a lamp. What do you think it's made out of?
0:11:30 > 0:11:35- I just thought it was pot, clay. - It looks like pot.
0:11:35 > 0:11:40It's actually copper with enamel on top. It's called cloisonne.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42I absolutely adore cloisonne.
0:11:42 > 0:11:48It goes way back to the Ming dynasty. The Chinese made it first, very crudely.
0:11:48 > 0:11:54But being Ming, it would be very expensive. This is probably Japanese. They made it better.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56They made fantastic cloisonne.
0:11:56 > 0:12:01It's got some bling going on there, but if you don't like it...
0:12:01 > 0:12:08- It's not that I don't like it. - I don't like the look of it.- I'd like to put it in the memory bank
0:12:08 > 0:12:14- and have another look. - It's priced at 48 quid, right? It's a good quality item.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17If we're struggling, dash back.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21Don't take too long to decide, guys. Time is ticking away.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Now, have the Blues found their third item at last?
0:12:26 > 0:12:30The whole concept of a canterbury is that it was made for putting music sheets in.
0:12:30 > 0:12:37And now it's used for magazines, but I think this is very practical. A practical piece of furniture.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40- It's small and I think will sell well.- Yes.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44I like it because it is not constructed of plywood.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48It's all solid construction. A quality piece.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52- Can we look underneath it, David? - Yes.- Carefully!
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Steady on.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Is there any age to it, David?
0:12:56 > 0:13:00I think the age is probably round about 40 or 50 years.
0:13:00 > 0:13:06It's quality. At £80, I think it's remarkably good value.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- It's not a lot of money. - It's not a lot of money.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13- Let's do the canterbury.- OK. - Let's go for the canterbury.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17- Speak now or for ever hold your peace.- We'll go for the canterbury.
0:13:17 > 0:13:22What a turnaround! After a slow start, they've finished.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Unlike the Reds, who've been drawn back to that vase.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30- Right, boys, we've got... - 30 seconds.- 35 seconds.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Will you take 30?
0:13:33 > 0:13:35- 35?- And we're done. Go on.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39- 40 quid. > - OK.
0:13:39 > 0:13:45Talk about cutting it fine, guys! So both teams have all three items.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Let's remind ourselves what they bought.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51No messing around for the Reds. They bought the first thing they found -
0:13:51 > 0:13:53the Chester-marked silver cruet set.
0:13:55 > 0:14:01Gareth and Chris worked hard and knocked off £20 off the Blanc de Chine.
0:14:01 > 0:14:08And, finally, with seconds to spare, all they could say was yes to the cloisonne vase.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11You got three items, which is great. Which is your favourite?
0:14:11 > 0:14:16- I liked the silver that we got at the beginning.- And you, Chris?
0:14:16 > 0:14:21- I agree. I think it's quite elegant. - Which will bring the biggest profit?
0:14:21 > 0:14:28- Hopefully that.- Yeah? - We bought a set for £70, so hopefully it will make £100.
0:14:28 > 0:14:34- Do you think it will bring the biggest profit?- I like to think it will make £20-£30.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38- You spent how much?- 210. - Fine. £90 of leftover lolly.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- It's not mine, then? - No!- It's mine!
0:14:41 > 0:14:47Potentially, David is going to save your bacon here by going and finding the Bonus Buy.
0:14:47 > 0:14:53- Any ideas, David?- Gareth has been looking at some particular pottery, the Staffordshire pottery, today.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56We haven't been able to afford it.
0:14:56 > 0:15:01- I might just have clocked something you might like.- Lovely. - And you as well.- Hopefully!
0:15:01 > 0:15:05- If I've got enough! - Good luck, David.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Let's remind ourselves what the Blues have bought.
0:15:08 > 0:15:16Their first pickings, with a bit of flirty discounting, were the 19th-century lanterns.
0:15:16 > 0:15:22The next piece was down to John. He found a silver boxing medal and fought a good deal.
0:15:22 > 0:15:31And, finally, they picked up a bit of repro, but Barby assured them it was quality. Let's hope he's right.
0:15:31 > 0:15:37- Look, you spent 200, wasn't it? - 200.- I want £100 of leftover lolly. Who's got that? Michelle.
0:15:37 > 0:15:42- Oh, it's for me! What a lot of money!- He loves it.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46He gets his grubby fingers on the grubby money! What will you do?
0:15:46 > 0:15:50- I've seen half a dozen items and want to pick and choose.- Really?
0:15:57 > 0:16:04Well, it's great to be at Dodds Auctioneers and Valuers in Mold, with Mr Parry.
0:16:04 > 0:16:09- How are you, Anthony? Well?- Yes. - We're looking forward to great stuff.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13Gareth and Chris, their first item is this little cruet in silver.
0:16:13 > 0:16:20It's a Georgian-style one, but unfortunately it's very modern. 1918.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24However, it's got the Chester hallmark, which is a plus round here.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28We're very close to Chester. Our estimate is £40-£60.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32- £40-£60? £70 they paid.- Right. We're in with a chance.
0:16:32 > 0:16:37Now the Blanc de Chine. All these pieces of white china from China.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Is that going to zoom away?
0:16:40 > 0:16:46- No.- No? Oh.- Unfortunately, most of them, if you look closely, are damaged.
0:16:46 > 0:16:52- That one's had the head off... - Oh, yes.- And stuck back on. - You can see the glue there.
0:16:52 > 0:16:57- You can.- Yes.- That's not going to do much for it.- No.
0:16:57 > 0:17:02- Again, we've stuck at £40-£60. - £40-£60?- For the lot.- All of them?
0:17:02 > 0:17:07- They paid £100.- Oh, dear. Saw them coming.
0:17:07 > 0:17:12Feet of clay. Lastly, they've gone with the Japanese cloisonne lamp fitting.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16The attribute is that they didn't bother drilling a hole in the vase,
0:17:16 > 0:17:21so you could restore it and take the electrical fitting off.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25- Remove the cork bung, take the sand out and it's a vase.- Yes.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28- £30.- £30? What - really?
0:17:28 > 0:17:33- Is that £20-£30 or £30-£40? - £20-£30.- Thanks.
0:17:33 > 0:17:40- They paid £40! This is looking seriously grim. - Grim.- Isn't it?- Yes.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44- They're definitely going to need their Bonus Buy.- What is it?
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- We'll find out in a minute.- OK.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50One for Dad and one for son.
0:17:50 > 0:17:56- What do you think?- Ugly-looking chaps!- Well, suits you two, then, doesn't it?
0:17:56 > 0:18:00- Thanks.- I think they're quite pretty-looking chaps, to be honest.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04They're very naive, very cute.
0:18:04 > 0:18:10Any cat lover would go crazy. I saw them and showed them to David and he was going crazy.
0:18:10 > 0:18:15That made me want to buy them. Date-wise, look at the back, they're Staffordshire.
0:18:15 > 0:18:21If they were flat at the back, they'd be later. I think these are earlier, probably about 1850.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25So 150 years old, thereabouts. What did I pay?
0:18:25 > 0:18:31- I don't know. About £70 the pair? - It will be very nice if we get that. 25.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34- Is that it?- Yeah.- I'd have said 50.
0:18:34 > 0:18:41Why don't we right now find out what the auctioneer thinks about David's...cats?
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Right. A pair of Staffordshire pussycats.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48Unfortunately, this one has had his foot off.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52- So...- Nice subject, though. - Quite a nice subject.
0:18:52 > 0:18:59- Very collectable, cats. - How much?- £20-£30.- £25 was paid. - Oh! We're in with a chance.
0:18:59 > 0:19:05- They could make £30.- They could. - Or £35, if somebody doesn't notice that the paw's dropped off.
0:19:05 > 0:19:10John and Michelle, their first items are these station lamps. Any good?
0:19:10 > 0:19:14They've got a certain market. People do collect railwayana.
0:19:14 > 0:19:19- £30-£50.- Is that all? They paid £90.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22- Did they?- Yeah. That's a big price for those.
0:19:22 > 0:19:29- Got to try hard, then. - I think you'll have to. I feel you could be surprised with that.- OK.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33- Next up is the boxing medal. - This little thing here.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37- 1948.- Solid silver. They don't do a lot of boxing in- Mold? No.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42- Not big on boxing. - A very peaceful nation.- Definitely.
0:19:42 > 0:19:49- £15-£20.- Really? £30 paid. Hardly worth having a punch-up for that.- It isn't, no.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53And, lastly, we've got the canterbury,
0:19:53 > 0:19:59- which is a reproduction. - Reproduction. Shall we say £40-£60?
0:19:59 > 0:20:03- Shall we say nearer £80? Yes?- No.- You don't see it?
0:20:03 > 0:20:10- No, I don't see it.- OK, fine. I'm afraid it's another example of, "We will need the Bonus Buy".
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- What is it this time? - You'll find out in a minute!
0:20:16 > 0:20:18- Ah.- Fantastic. I love it.
0:20:18 > 0:20:24- Oh, good.- I love it. - I have great affection for these little pieces from Staffordshire.
0:20:24 > 0:20:30They're called portrait figures. Now this one is of special reason.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34You were married on the 23rd of April, which is St George's Day.
0:20:34 > 0:20:41- I was born on the 23rd of April. Isn't that nice, Tim? - What a convoluted link!
0:20:41 > 0:20:46Well...! Just handle it. It's one of these pieces that's very tactile.
0:20:46 > 0:20:53- How much did you pay for it, David? - £55 I paid for it and I think it will probably make £10-£15.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56That's quite a loss, then, isn't it?
0:20:56 > 0:21:01I mean, this is not a good prediction. Paid 55,
0:21:01 > 0:21:07and making 10-15, David! This is not like you, mate! Normally you're terribly bullish.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09£10-£15 profit, Tim.
0:21:09 > 0:21:14- Ah. Yes, good.- Probably more. I hope more.- It's a great subject.
0:21:14 > 0:21:20- Have you ever seen such a dozy-looking dragon?- No. - That dragon is definitely on pills!
0:21:20 > 0:21:26- And it's got that early morning shadow.- Did you notice St George has only got one eye?- He's winking.
0:21:26 > 0:21:31- Oh, right.- Winking!- That's OK. - He's got a great moustache.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33David...thank you very much.
0:21:33 > 0:21:40I think we're all in love with it in some way. You don't need to decide now. For the audience at home,
0:21:40 > 0:21:45let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about David's little dragon.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Good subject, yes.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51- So what would your estimate be? - £40-£60.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55- £55 paid.- Oh, spot on!
0:21:55 > 0:22:00Very good. David Barby will be delighted if you get £55 or more, Anthony.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03- OK.- We shall leave it to you.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11- Gareth, have you ever been to an auction?- I've been to a few, yes.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13- Chris?- First time.- First time.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16It's the condiment, and here it comes.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Silver cruet set. Three pieces.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Chester, 1918. 20. Dear me. £20.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25That's a low start. 20. 5.
0:22:25 > 0:22:2830. £30. 5. 40.
0:22:28 > 0:22:3140. 5. 45.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- £45. Is that all?- It's not good.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38£45 for a silver cruet? Finished at 45?
0:22:38 > 0:22:43£45. That's not good, is it? That's minus £25, all right?
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Now the Blanc de Chine.
0:22:46 > 0:22:51- The table lamp and four other figures.- Come on!- £20 somewhere?
0:22:51 > 0:22:53£20 I've got. Where's 5?
0:22:53 > 0:22:56£25. £30.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00- Come on! That's ridiculous. - 5 at the back? 35.
0:23:00 > 0:23:05- This is not good, is it? - 40 anywhere? All done for £35.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08He's done it for £35.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11You are minus £65 on that item.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Listen, overall, don't despair.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18- You are currently minus £90. - That's not bad, is it(?)
0:23:18 > 0:23:21What do you mean "not bad"?!
0:23:21 > 0:23:28The way the oriental things are going, I'd say we're in trouble, but here comes the cloisonne.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32The cloisonne enamelled vase. 20 to start it?
0:23:32 > 0:23:35That's a sad day. A £10 note?
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Oh! Oh, dear.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39A £10 note for it? Thank you.
0:23:39 > 0:23:4312? 14. 16. 18.
0:23:43 > 0:23:4620. 2?
0:23:46 > 0:23:49No? 22 up here, then.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53£22. 24. 26. A wave at the back. 26.
0:23:53 > 0:23:5528. £28.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59All done at £28, then? It's gone.
0:23:59 > 0:24:04£28 is £12 shy. You are minus £102.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09All right, you spent £210 and you've lost £102.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Now this could be a winning score...
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Stop it! You know it won't be!
0:24:15 > 0:24:21- Well, it could be. Are you going to go with the cats? - I think we definitely should!
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Coming up next, then, it's the pussycats.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27A pair of pottery cats. What shall we say?
0:24:27 > 0:24:3010. 12. 14. £14.
0:24:30 > 0:24:3314. For the pair? £16.
0:24:33 > 0:24:3516. 18, is it?
0:24:35 > 0:24:39No? £16. Little money.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43£16. They're going at £16, though.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46£16, chaps. I can't believe this.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48That's minus £9 on that.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52That means overall you are minus £111.
0:24:52 > 0:24:57- Oh, dear.- £111 down.... down the old Swanee.- Gone.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Don't tell the Blues a thing.
0:25:00 > 0:25:07They may not know it's a bloodbath out here and you could be winning with a score of minus £111!
0:25:07 > 0:25:10In the great Mold massacre!
0:25:10 > 0:25:12The great Mold massacre!
0:25:22 > 0:25:27- Now, John and Michelle, how are you feeling?- Michelle?- Nervous.
0:25:27 > 0:25:32- Excited.- John?- About as nervous as I did before an Olympic final.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36- The old ticker's really going. - Lovely.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38The first item are your lamps, Michelle. Here they come.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42An old pair of railway hand lamps.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Worth £100.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48- All gone very quiet. 50 to start? - Come on!
0:25:48 > 0:25:51£30 then?
0:25:51 > 0:25:52Oh!
0:25:52 > 0:25:57A big groan there. £30 to start? For the pair!
0:25:57 > 0:26:00- 30. Thank you.- Oh!- 30.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03- I can't believe this!- 35.
0:26:03 > 0:26:0640. 5.
0:26:06 > 0:26:1150. 5. Oh, dear. He's shaking his head now. 55.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14£55. Is that all they're to make?
0:26:14 > 0:26:17All done at 55?
0:26:17 > 0:26:19£55. Michelle...
0:26:19 > 0:26:24- Michelle, that's 5 short of 60. That's minus £35.- Yes.
0:26:24 > 0:26:29Next is your boxing medal. Let's see what's going to happen.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Silver boxing medal. Worth £50?
0:26:31 > 0:26:36You've all gone quiet on me again. A £10 note to start.
0:26:36 > 0:26:3810 I've got. 12 I've got.
0:26:38 > 0:26:43- 14. 16. 18. 20. £20. - Come on, come on.
0:26:43 > 0:26:4522, thank you. 22.
0:26:45 > 0:26:5024. 26. Have another one, Mr Ellis.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- 28.- Ee up!- One more. 30.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55£30. Have a pound.
0:26:55 > 0:26:5731.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00£31. 31.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04- 2 for you?- Look out! - All done at £31?
0:27:06 > 0:27:10- You've made a pound! - I can't believe it!
0:27:10 > 0:27:12- Me neither.- I've come over all faint!
0:27:12 > 0:27:17A mahogany canterbury. £100 worth? Oh, dear.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19£20, then.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Oh, come on!
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Thank you, Neil. £20. 20.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26£20. £25.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28£30.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30£35. £40.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32£45.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35£50. 55 is there?
0:27:35 > 0:27:39All done at £50, then?
0:27:39 > 0:27:42£50. That's minus £30.
0:27:42 > 0:27:47- You are now the proud owner of a canterbury.- Minus £64, lads.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50We are £64 up the Swanee.
0:27:50 > 0:27:56That is what we call bad luck. I think we could be in a bit of a trough here.
0:27:56 > 0:28:01But you've got St George cantering to the rescue next.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05- Are you going to go... - St George of England!- Listen...
0:28:05 > 0:28:09OK, settle down. Minus £64 could be a winning score.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13Or are you going to risk it with the Staffordshire dragon?
0:28:13 > 0:28:17Oh, we're going to risk it. We've been slain once. Let's try twice.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21OK, we're going with the Bonus Buy and here it comes.
0:28:21 > 0:28:26St George and the dragon. What shall we say? A £10 note?!
0:28:26 > 0:28:29£10. 12. 14.
0:28:29 > 0:28:3216. 18. 20.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36- 22. £22. 22. - Oh, come on!
0:28:36 > 0:28:3824. 26. 28.
0:28:38 > 0:28:4130. 2.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44- 34. 36. Thank you. - Come on!
0:28:44 > 0:28:4836. We've got a long way to go. £36.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52- Come on! - At £36, it's gone!
0:28:52 > 0:28:54We have been done!
0:28:54 > 0:28:59That's four shy of 40. That's minus £19.
0:28:59 > 0:29:04That's minus £83. Right. Minus £83.
0:29:04 > 0:29:09- Is this...?- Is this a record? - No. I can tell you that it's not the record.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12It's not the record for me, either!
0:29:14 > 0:29:16Ouch!
0:29:16 > 0:29:17The Blues made a loss of £83,
0:29:17 > 0:29:20but amazingly, it's still a winning score
0:29:20 > 0:29:25because remember, the Reds lost £111. Oh, dear. Oh, dear...
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Coming up, will our next two teams have better luck
0:29:28 > 0:29:30when they take their items to auction?
0:29:30 > 0:29:33Find out in a moment. First, I'm off to somewhere amazing.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49They say that every man's home is his castle.
0:29:49 > 0:29:56Well, the one behind me, Penrhyn Castle, is something rather more than just a home.
0:29:57 > 0:30:05Penrhyn was the fantasy of George Dawkins-Pennant, who inherited the estate in 1816.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09He considered it old-fashioned and wanted something...
0:30:09 > 0:30:11well, a bit grander.
0:30:11 > 0:30:16He employed the relatively unknown architect Thomas Hopper.
0:30:16 > 0:30:21Works started around 1819 and were completed in 1838.
0:30:21 > 0:30:25His reasons for choosing to build in the Norman style are not clear
0:30:25 > 0:30:28but it certainly fitted his fantasy vision.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32And Hopper's work wasn't exclusively restricted to the outside.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38Thomas Hopper, clearly, was no ordinary architect.
0:30:38 > 0:30:45Apart from having the technical skills to be able to construct this massive castle,
0:30:45 > 0:30:52the edifice from outside, he was also able to drill down into all the detail inside.
0:30:52 > 0:30:57What we've got in the drawing room, here, is an extraordinary space
0:30:57 > 0:31:01that's completely plastered in carved mouldings.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04The ceiling is full of stars.
0:31:04 > 0:31:12There's a kind of celestial magic and it's completely plastered in these Neo-Norman mouldings.
0:31:12 > 0:31:17So having created this magical Neo-Norman space,
0:31:17 > 0:31:23how do you furnish it? Because there's no original furniture from 1,000 years ago that you can use.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26But old Hopper, he cracked it.
0:31:28 > 0:31:35And his solution, well, it was just to design and build the Neo-Norman furniture himself.
0:31:35 > 0:31:39This is Hopper's solution to the settee problem.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Build it big. Build it massive.
0:31:42 > 0:31:47Hopper used great baulks of oak to create
0:31:47 > 0:31:52what must be one of the world's most uncomfortable settees.
0:31:52 > 0:31:57Sadly, this didn't do old George Dawkins-Pennant an awful lot of good.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00He didn't survive long to enjoy his masterpiece,
0:32:00 > 0:32:06dying in 1840, just two years after the completion of the castle.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09Meanwhile, back at the Mona Showground at Anglesey,
0:32:09 > 0:32:13what we're dying to know is whether our next two teams will make a profit
0:32:13 > 0:32:15as they go bargain hunting.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18Time to meet our new pairs of Reds and Blues.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21For the Reds, we've got R and R, which used to mean rest and relaxation,
0:32:21 > 0:32:26but today means Ronald and Robert. Welcome to Bargain Hunt.
0:32:26 > 0:32:32- And for the Blues, we've got husband and wife, Lee and Lindsay. Welcome to Bargain Hunt.- Thank you.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36Now, Ronald, you don't take life terribly seriously.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39- Definitely not.- No.- Live every day as though it's going to be your last.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41- Oh, Lord.- Love it... I know.- Right.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45One of the best jobs I ever had was working for a holiday firm
0:32:45 > 0:32:48and I was in charge of the entertainment for the over-50s.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50- Were you a Red Coat?- No.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53- A Blue Coat, actually.- Were you?- A Blue Coat.- Oh, you were a turn coat.
0:32:53 > 0:32:54I was a turn coat. Yes.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57But it used to be wonderful. I used to do the line dancing, karaoke.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00- The worst paid but the best job I ever had.- Yes.- Lots of fun.
0:33:00 > 0:33:06Now, Robert, your hobby involves horses and it's also a way that you make a bit of money, isn't it?
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Well, I'm an on-course bookmaker.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12- Are you? - So I go to various venues...- Yeah.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15..various times, about 40 a year, something like that.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19- Have you ever been to a car boot or fair like this?- Yes.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22- I do at least two or three car boots at a weekend.- Do you really?- Yes.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25And there are amazing things around in the fairs at car-boot sales.
0:33:25 > 0:33:31- There's nothing you can't buy at a car boot.- It'll be interesting to see what you two come up with today.
0:33:31 > 0:33:32And very good luck.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35Now, for the Blues. Now, what do you do for a living, Lee?
0:33:35 > 0:33:40Well, I'm actually a plasterer by trade but I was injured last year, in July,
0:33:40 > 0:33:43so at the moment, I'm a parking enforcement officer.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45- Oh, are you?- Yeah.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49Nobody likes a traffic warden, but I mean, it's not the ideal job for me.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52- I still love plastering.- You want to go back to plastering.- Yeah.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56As soon as I can, I want to get back into Venetian and marble plastering.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59Now, Lindsay, you've got a reputation for being
0:33:59 > 0:34:03an absolute ruthless dragon round the house, throwing everything away. Is that true?
0:34:03 > 0:34:08Yeah. I have been known to throw things away which, possibly, are worth a bit of money.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11- Like what?- Well, Lee had some...
0:34:11 > 0:34:14are they Lilliput houses, is that what they're called?
0:34:14 > 0:34:20Yeah. They were actually Lilliput ones, they were from Tetley tea bags, from 1978, 1979.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22- Yes.- I had lots and lots of them.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24And what do you do in your spare time?
0:34:24 > 0:34:26Well, we generally go to family events.
0:34:26 > 0:34:31Woodfest is one we like to go with the children and go to car-boot sales.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33What happens at Woodfest?
0:34:33 > 0:34:40It's a local place that happens every year and they're doing carvings out of pieces of wood,
0:34:40 > 0:34:43- climbing up the telegraph poles. - It sounds like great fun.
0:34:43 > 0:34:49Yeah. Lee doesn't go there to actually look at the wood stuff, he goes there for the local liqueurs.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51- Oh, does he?- Ciders. - They have ciders.
0:34:51 > 0:34:57They use really special apples, Dabinett apples and other various English or Welsh apples.
0:34:57 > 0:35:01Right. So you're a specialist-cider drinker, then.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Not really, but I do buy expensive cider.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06I'll only drink expensive cider.
0:35:06 > 0:35:10Well, I'm glad, Lee, you're a man of expensive tastes, which is exactly what we need
0:35:10 > 0:35:14today on Bargain Hunt because here comes your £300.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17You know the rules. Your experts await. And off you go.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19And very, very, very good luck.
0:35:23 > 0:35:28So, three items and £300. And all in just one hour. Sounds fun!
0:35:28 > 0:35:32Has David found something for the Blues already?
0:35:32 > 0:35:34I think this is a good find.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37These are quite unusual. It's the original upholstery.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Needs a bit of restoration here and there.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42What you've got to consider is this... These are unusual.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46- What do you think?- No. I don't really like it, to be honest.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49- You don't like that one.- No. It doesn't interest me.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51But it's all original. There's nothing done.
0:35:51 > 0:35:56It's just as it was made, probably round about 1860.
0:35:56 > 0:36:03- What do you think?- I do like it. I like the fact that it looks like
0:36:03 > 0:36:10- a three-piece suite you'd see in somebody's house, in a stately home, apart from it's miniature.- Exactly.
0:36:10 > 0:36:11- Right.- I like it.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15Well, if you like it, then we'll go with it.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18Excuse me, how much is the dolls' furniture?
0:36:18 > 0:36:21- 45.- 45. Is that the best you can do?
0:36:21 > 0:36:23There's an awful lot of restoration on it.
0:36:23 > 0:36:24Well, it is, really.
0:36:26 > 0:36:2935 would be the very best, really.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32- 35.- I couldn't go much lower than that.- It's the overall impression
0:36:32 > 0:36:35with the legs missing. I think it'll affect the value.
0:36:35 > 0:36:3735... Can you do it at 30?
0:36:37 > 0:36:38How about 32?
0:36:38 > 0:36:4232. Right. What do you think of 32?
0:36:42 > 0:36:45- You're happy with 32. Both of you are.- Yeah.- OK.- Thank you very much.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47- Thank you very much.- Thanks a lot.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51Cor, it was touch and go, there, but for £32, you've got yourself
0:36:51 > 0:36:57a miniature drawing-room set and who cares if it is missing a leg or three?
0:36:57 > 0:37:00Meanwhile, the Reds are looking at a bit more silver.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06What do you think of that? That's quite a nice design, isn't it?
0:37:06 > 0:37:08- It is a nice design. It's a bit different.- Yeah.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10Ron, what do you feel about that?
0:37:12 > 0:37:13Quite a difference. 110.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16I mean, vestas are always collectable, aren't they?
0:37:16 > 0:37:21And the thing is, as a match holder, on your fireplace, or to light candles at dinner parties,
0:37:21 > 0:37:24that kind of thing, it's an incredible posh piece of kit.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28- Yeah.- It's got that roped twist... - Yeah.- ..which I think is wonderful.
0:37:28 > 0:37:32110. 1892. Late Victorian, again.
0:37:32 > 0:37:33What do you think of that?
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Shall we ask him?
0:37:35 > 0:37:37What would be the best on that?
0:37:37 > 0:37:39- Now, be kind, won't you?- 90.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42- 90.- £90. My best price will be £90.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45- Really.- Would it?- Yeah. - OK.- I think we should go for it.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49And they did go for it.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52£85 for a silver vesta case.
0:37:52 > 0:37:57- And it seems the Blues also have their eyes on something silver. - I like silver.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01- I do like that. - Do you know what it's for?
0:38:01 > 0:38:04- Is it for your matches, no? - It's for your matches. Yeah.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07And underneath, you've got a rough section...you feel that.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09- To strike your match. - It's where you...
0:38:11 > 0:38:13..strike your match.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15- So it has a purpose.- Yeah.
0:38:15 > 0:38:19And this would have been, possibly, in a gentleman's study.
0:38:19 > 0:38:24I like that. It's £69, but if you're interested, Lindsay, you'll have to negotiate on that.
0:38:24 > 0:38:25- Yeah.- See what you can get.- Right.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29- I think we'll have a go at that. - Do you want to have a word?
0:38:29 > 0:38:31How's it going?
0:38:31 > 0:38:36OK. Not bad. Not bad. We do quite like this, yes, but we don't think
0:38:36 > 0:38:39- that at auction we're going to make anything on £69.- Do you not?
0:38:39 > 0:38:42- Have you seen anything like that? - I haven't seen...
0:38:42 > 0:38:44It's quite unusual and quite quirky.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46You can have it for 55.
0:38:46 > 0:38:47- 55.- That's it.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50It's up to you. It's your item.
0:38:50 > 0:38:54- You've a good chance with it. - OK. I'm going to go for it. I like it. £55.- Nice to see you both.
0:38:54 > 0:38:55And you.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57Well done, Lindsay. Great negotiation.
0:38:57 > 0:39:03Two items in the bag, £87 spent, but are the Reds feeling the heat?
0:39:05 > 0:39:06It's for cooking, isn't it?
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Because look, you've got water boil...
0:39:09 > 0:39:11- That's right.- Can you see that, Bob?
0:39:11 > 0:39:15- Yes, I can.- Soft ball...hard ball... crack small...crack caramel.
0:39:15 > 0:39:21- Yeah.- OK. So it's a thermometer, not necessarily for water, because down here at 100,
0:39:21 > 0:39:26- that's where you're boiling water, but of course, if it's a sugar solution...- Much hotter.
0:39:26 > 0:39:30Exactly. The temperature will rise much higher. So it goes up to...
0:39:30 > 0:39:31what, 420?
0:39:31 > 0:39:34- 420. Yes.- 420.- Right.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38Actually, that's quite interesting. It's actually a kitchen piece. I like it.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40- Quirky again.- It's quirky.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42It's got a little registration. And it's only a tenner.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44We can't lose.
0:39:44 > 0:39:48Grand. The thermometer is theirs for £8.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51And as Ron says, they can't lose much...
0:39:51 > 0:39:52can they?
0:39:52 > 0:39:58Now, they've only got one item to find, but it's always the hardest to nail down.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03Ah, that's nice. Bachelor's silver tea service.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07- Hey, you two are a couple of bachelors.- We are. Yeah.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09It's appealing, but the price is wrong, really, for us.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12Let's move on. We can't be procrastinating.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14Let's go.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17What do you think of this, David? This looks a rather nice item.
0:40:17 > 0:40:22It's instantly recognisable. It's got to be Moorcroft. The most common, you'll find...
0:40:22 > 0:40:23- See that blue in there?- Oh, yeah.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26- The body is generally that colour. It's a beautiful colour.- Right.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29It's absolutely vibrant, the colours of the flowers.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32Now, do you recognise that flower in there?
0:40:32 > 0:40:33Yeah. It's an enema.
0:40:33 > 0:40:37- Pardon. What was that?- Anemone.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Now, be very careful how you say that.
0:40:39 > 0:40:40How you say this, yeah.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42- An anemone.- It's an anemone, Ron.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44- Exactly. Yeah.- That's it.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47- Make a mistake there and you could be in trouble. Yeah. - You could, indeed.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49I think this is our third item.
0:40:49 > 0:40:54- You don't know that, yet. - We need to speak to the stallholder. - Exactly.- That's right.
0:40:54 > 0:40:59- Hi, there. Just a quick one. What's your price on that one? - 45.- 45.
0:40:59 > 0:41:00Would 30 quid buy it?
0:41:00 > 0:41:02No. 35.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04- 35.- 35.
0:41:04 > 0:41:09- Well, I think we'll do the deal. - Done.- Looks like we've got it. - Thanks very much.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12Doesn't look like you had much of a say in it, David.
0:41:12 > 0:41:18Still, all items purchased, unlike those Blues, who are fast becoming panicky.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21I have absolutely no idea what to buy next.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23Well, something a little bit more expensive.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26- It's for?- Weighing pigs.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28- Weighing pigs.- Weighing pigs.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30- And, you would... Can I just have a look?- Yes.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33This is quirky and unusual.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35There's two ways of using it.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38Can you see that? Oh, that's quite good.
0:41:38 > 0:41:42- The only one I've seen. - £35. Do you like it?
0:41:42 > 0:41:44Well, I've told you the last item's up to you.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47I mean, I'm quite happy to go with what you say.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50- I've never seen one like this. - I've never seen one at all.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52And people do collect balances and weights.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55- Yeah.- OK.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58- And the best price was... 30?- Five.
0:41:58 > 0:42:0035 for that.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02- Happy?- It's up to you.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04- 35.- Sold.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07I can't believe this.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Finally, all items are in the bag.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Time's up and the shopping is over.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16Now that the teams have finished their shopping,
0:42:16 > 0:42:21they'll hand over any leftover lolly to their experts who'll pop off and find the Bonus Buy.
0:42:21 > 0:42:27That's revealed later at auction and if the team decides to go with it,
0:42:27 > 0:42:29and they make a profit, they'll be delighted.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32If it makes a loss, though, they'll just have to take it on the nose.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35Now, let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought.
0:42:35 > 0:42:40- What do you think of these? - First up, the silver vesta for £85.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48Next, Ron and Bob acquired a thermometer for a cool £8.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53And before David Harper could even say leftover lolly,
0:42:53 > 0:42:58the Reds purchased the Moorcroft bowl for £35.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01And how much did you finish up by spending overall?
0:43:01 > 0:43:03We spent £128.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06You spent £128 which is £172 of leftover lolly. Is that right?
0:43:06 > 0:43:10- Correct.- The good Lord giveth with one hand and taketh away with the other.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12Anyway, very good luck, David.
0:43:12 > 0:43:14- See you, guys.- Off with your task.
0:43:14 > 0:43:18Why don't we remind ourselves of what the Blues bought?
0:43:18 > 0:43:24The Blues started with the Victorian doll's house furniture for £32.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26Next, the cauldron vesta -
0:43:26 > 0:43:28a bubbling £55.
0:43:29 > 0:43:34And finally, the cast iron and brass piggy scales. £35.
0:43:34 > 0:43:36Let's take them to market.
0:43:36 > 0:43:38How much did you spend, again?
0:43:38 > 0:43:40- £122.- Yeah.
0:43:40 > 0:43:42So I want £178 of leftover lolly.
0:43:42 > 0:43:44Who's got the money? Here we go, look.
0:43:44 > 0:43:47That goes straight to David Barby. That's a lot, isn't it, David?
0:43:47 > 0:43:51- I've never had as much as this in all my life.- So what are you going to do with it, then?
0:43:51 > 0:43:53I don't really know. I need half an hour to look round.
0:43:53 > 0:43:56- There's so many interesting things here.- Yes.
0:43:56 > 0:43:58I tell you what, I'll give you half an hour.
0:43:58 > 0:44:02- Thank you.- And we want a splendid result, please.
0:44:18 > 0:44:24Well, it's lovely to be in Mold, in the principality, at Dodds Auctioneers and Valuers,
0:44:24 > 0:44:26with Anthony Parry.
0:44:26 > 0:44:30- How are you?- Very well, Tim. It's nice to see you again. - Very good to see you, too.
0:44:30 > 0:44:35Now, first up for the Reds, Robert and Ronald, is the vesta case.
0:44:35 > 0:44:38They're collectable things.
0:44:38 > 0:44:42Shall we say 20-30, maybe 40?
0:44:42 > 0:44:47Really? They paid £85. Oh, dear, Anthony, this isn't looking good.
0:44:47 > 0:44:50How about the kitchen thermometer?
0:44:50 > 0:44:54Right. Unusual bit of kitchenalia.
0:44:54 > 0:44:57Not a lot of money. I hope they haven't spent a lot on this. £5-£10.
0:44:57 > 0:45:00- £8 paid.- Spot on, then.
0:45:00 > 0:45:02- Spot on. Good. Now, Moorcroft.- Moorcroft.
0:45:02 > 0:45:05Moorcroft from the 1960s, I'm told.
0:45:05 > 0:45:10- Do you agree with that?- Yeah. - It's not old old.- It's not old old. No.- So how much do you think?
0:45:10 > 0:45:13- 30-50.- Oh, good. £35 paid.
0:45:13 > 0:45:15- So there's a little bit of hope there.- There's hope there.
0:45:15 > 0:45:20And the thermometer might give them a bit of a hope, but the vesta...
0:45:20 > 0:45:22oh, dear, that's so far off the beam...
0:45:22 > 0:45:27I think they're certainly going to need their Bonus Buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:45:28 > 0:45:31Oh, right.
0:45:31 > 0:45:36- I thought a couple of gentlemen like you could see the value in that. - It looks very nice. Yeah.
0:45:36 > 0:45:38- Silver? - Yes. It is. It's not English silver.
0:45:38 > 0:45:41It's Continental silver, but it is stamped 925...
0:45:41 > 0:45:44- Yeah.- ..with amber or "amberette".
0:45:44 > 0:45:47I don't know, Tim. Is it amber or is it not amber?
0:45:47 > 0:45:51- Right.- Well, Who knows? You mean plastic.- Could be plastic.
0:45:51 > 0:45:54- As David Barby said, it's the earliest form of plastic.- Right.
0:45:54 > 0:45:56- It's so true. - What is this likely to do?
0:45:56 > 0:46:01What do you think? Bear in mind it is silver, nice quality, continental, probably French,
0:46:01 > 0:46:05- I'd have thought, but a lovely present for one of your lady friends.- Nice present.- £75.
0:46:05 > 0:46:09I think, as you said, 75 quid, it's got to be worth that all day long, to somebody, somewhere.
0:46:09 > 0:46:15- Whether they're in this room, I don't know. I paid 35. - Oh, well.
0:46:15 > 0:46:18Well, settle down, boys, because right now,
0:46:18 > 0:46:24for the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about David's Jurassic Park pendant.
0:46:24 > 0:46:27- Ooh-arr. - Quite a modern little piece.
0:46:27 > 0:46:29- Yes. Yes. Like- brand-new. Yes.
0:46:29 > 0:46:32Probably is silver. Might be amber but it looks a bit plastic-y to me.
0:46:32 > 0:46:33Looks plastic to me as well, Tim.
0:46:33 > 0:46:38- Yeah.- Ah well.- Decorative. £20-£30. - That's very generous of you.
0:46:38 > 0:46:39- Yes.- £35 paid.
0:46:39 > 0:46:43Now for the Blues, Lee and Lindsay and David Barby.
0:46:43 > 0:46:47Their first item is this extensive doll's house furniture suite.
0:46:47 > 0:46:49- I'm nearly speechless.- Are you?
0:46:49 > 0:46:52- Makes a change.- Yeah. Legs off.
0:46:52 > 0:46:54Legs off. Yes.
0:46:54 > 0:46:57- Legless, completely.- Yes.
0:46:57 > 0:47:01- Woodworm in this one. - I can tell you like it, Anthony. - Yeah.
0:47:01 > 0:47:04Generous £30-£40 estimate.
0:47:04 > 0:47:05Very good. £32 paid.
0:47:05 > 0:47:09The silver-mounted cauldron vesta striker.
0:47:09 > 0:47:15That's the sort of thing that a lot of collectors go for, isn't it? Got a bit of silver on it.
0:47:15 > 0:47:19Bit of silver on it and it's got the strike on the bottom. 25-35.
0:47:19 > 0:47:22£55 paid, sir.
0:47:22 > 0:47:25- That is a lot of money, though, isn't it, £55?- Bit strong. Yeah.- Bit strong.
0:47:25 > 0:47:27The next item is this balance.
0:47:27 > 0:47:32- And I can put you out of your misery here, Anthony, cos they paid £35 for this.- Did they?
0:47:32 > 0:47:35Yes. They thought they were coming to an agricultural area.
0:47:35 > 0:47:39Well, yes, we've got a cattle market in the town here.
0:47:39 > 0:47:43- Now, was that the correct strategy, Anthony, or not?- No.- No.
0:47:43 > 0:47:45Farmers are a little bit tight, aren't they, in the pocket?
0:47:45 > 0:47:48- So, £20-£25.- Really?
0:47:48 > 0:47:51OK. Well, that's not so far off £35.
0:47:51 > 0:47:55- But on the other hand, it might just make a £10 note, mightn't it?- Yes.
0:47:55 > 0:47:58Yes. You said that rather too readily, Anthony...
0:47:58 > 0:48:02in which case they're certainly going to need their Bonus Buy. Let's go and have a look at it.
0:48:02 > 0:48:07I bought this little bit of silver for £40.
0:48:07 > 0:48:12This is a Chester piece of silver and it is a cheroot holder.
0:48:12 > 0:48:14And it's the case for a cheroot holder.
0:48:14 > 0:48:19This is silver. Dates from the earlier part of the 20th century and when I click it open like this...
0:48:19 > 0:48:23out comes a little amber piece with a gold mount which corresponds
0:48:23 > 0:48:26with the date letter on this particular piece here.
0:48:26 > 0:48:30So, if you wanted, you could put it round the neck as a pendant
0:48:30 > 0:48:33or if you were a gentleman, you'd have it on a fob chain.
0:48:33 > 0:48:35But now, these are quite collectable, just to have round the neck
0:48:35 > 0:48:38and if you want to put pills or anything in it, you could do.
0:48:38 > 0:48:42- How much did you pay for it?- £40.- 40.- £40.
0:48:42 > 0:48:46- And it is silver Chester. - Is it real gold, inside?
0:48:46 > 0:48:50- It's real gold, inside. - What do you think we might make as a profit on that?
0:48:50 > 0:48:56You might make a profit, hopefully, of round about £20, that sort of price range.
0:48:56 > 0:49:01You don't decide right now. But for the audience, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks
0:49:01 > 0:49:03about David's little cheroot holder.
0:49:03 > 0:49:07It is Chester hallmark.
0:49:07 > 0:49:10- Ah, that's good. - That's the plus side.- Yes.
0:49:10 > 0:49:16- The downside is the cheroot holder itself has been broken and stuck back together with glue.- Oh, dear.
0:49:16 > 0:49:19Tongue-in-cheek, I've said £30-£40.
0:49:19 > 0:49:24Now, what does tongue-in-cheek mean? Does that mean you think it's quite generous, 30-40?
0:49:24 > 0:49:25It's a bit generous.
0:49:25 > 0:49:29It depends how good their eyesight is, looking at the damage.
0:49:29 > 0:49:33Oh, I see... Mr Barby paid £40 for it and he reckons he's going to make a profit on it.
0:49:33 > 0:49:35- Are you going to be taking the auction?- I am. Yes.
0:49:35 > 0:49:37We're in safe hands.
0:49:37 > 0:49:40£14. 16. 18.
0:49:40 > 0:49:4220. No.
0:49:42 > 0:49:4420 over there.
0:49:44 > 0:49:4620...5. 30...5.
0:49:48 > 0:49:52Now, the first item is going to be the silver vesta, yes, with the rope-twist design.
0:49:52 > 0:49:54You paid £85 for that.
0:49:54 > 0:50:00I have to tell you that the auctioneer's only estimated £20-£30 and here it comes. Here you go.
0:50:00 > 0:50:0298. A very nice silver vesta case.
0:50:02 > 0:50:04Rope-twist decoration.
0:50:04 > 0:50:08Quick 50 to start it. £20 then to start it.
0:50:08 > 0:50:11- Go on.- Get in there.- Go on. Go on.
0:50:11 > 0:50:12£20. £25.
0:50:12 > 0:50:18- £30. £35. £40. 45.- Keep going. 50.
0:50:18 > 0:50:19- 50.- 60.
0:50:19 > 0:50:25Five. 55. £55. 55. Where's 60?
0:50:25 > 0:50:28£55. 55. Is that all it's to make?
0:50:28 > 0:50:31All done at 55, then.
0:50:31 > 0:50:34£55. I'm afraid that's minus £30.
0:50:34 > 0:50:39Not so good that, is it? But anyway, minus £30.
0:50:39 > 0:50:42Next item is the thermometer.
0:50:42 > 0:50:45Lot 100. The brass-cased kitchen thermometer.
0:50:45 > 0:50:47What shall we say for that? £20.
0:50:49 > 0:50:51Oh, dear.
0:50:51 > 0:50:55A £10 note, then. Thank you. £10. Ten. £10.
0:50:55 > 0:51:00- £12. Thank you. 14. 16. 18.- What?
0:51:00 > 0:51:03- 20.- I know I'd like to buy it.
0:51:03 > 0:51:05£22. 22. Four, is it?
0:51:05 > 0:51:10£22. Is that all it's to make? All done at 22, then.
0:51:10 > 0:51:13- Yeah!- £22.
0:51:13 > 0:51:17That's not bad, is it? You've got plus 14 on that.
0:51:17 > 0:51:19Yes... Which means you're minus £16.
0:51:19 > 0:51:21You're £16 down.
0:51:21 > 0:51:22- Yeah.- Still, in with a chance.
0:51:22 > 0:51:25- The Moorcroft bowl, and off we go.- Right.
0:51:25 > 0:51:27Pottery bowl. Little Moorcroft one.
0:51:27 > 0:51:3020 to kick it off. 20, I've got.
0:51:30 > 0:51:34£20. £22. 24. £24.
0:51:34 > 0:51:3824. 26. 28. 30.
0:51:38 > 0:51:41Two. 34. 36.
0:51:41 > 0:51:4636 is there. 36. 36. Where's eight?
0:51:46 > 0:51:48£36. Is that all it's to do?
0:51:48 > 0:51:51- 38. Thank you.- Get in there.
0:51:51 > 0:51:55£38. 38. 38. 40, is it?
0:51:55 > 0:51:59£38. All done at £38, then.
0:51:59 > 0:52:01- That's a profit.- £38.
0:52:01 > 0:52:05You made a profit of £3 on that, which is very nice.
0:52:05 > 0:52:10- You are overall minus £13. - What a result.
0:52:10 > 0:52:13What a result. What a result.
0:52:13 > 0:52:15Only a modest loss, I have to say.
0:52:15 > 0:52:20Nevertheless, it is a loss so are you going to go with the Bonus Buy, the silver pendant?
0:52:20 > 0:52:23£35. David was paying for that.
0:52:23 > 0:52:26It's a nice pendant, but I think it'd be a rope round our neck.
0:52:26 > 0:52:29- Oh, do you?- Yes. - Have you worked that one out, Rob?
0:52:29 > 0:52:32Yes.
0:52:32 > 0:52:35Not going with the Bonus Buy. Well, we're going to sell it, anyway.
0:52:35 > 0:52:39White metal pendant, set with amber on a link chain. £20 for it.
0:52:41 > 0:52:44A £10 note for it.
0:52:45 > 0:52:48Ten. Thank you, Holly. £10. Ten.
0:52:48 > 0:52:54- Ten. 12? £10.- £10. You might have made a good decision.- Hopefully.
0:52:54 > 0:52:5612. Thank you. 12.
0:52:56 > 0:52:5814.
0:52:58 > 0:53:0116. 18.
0:53:01 > 0:53:05£18. 18. 18, no, 20, she's coming back.
0:53:05 > 0:53:06£20. Thank you.
0:53:06 > 0:53:11- 20 is the lady at the back there. All done at 20.- There we are.
0:53:11 > 0:53:13- £20.- Good decision, boys.
0:53:13 > 0:53:15- Well done.- Minus £15.
0:53:15 > 0:53:17Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:53:17 > 0:53:21So, the Bonus Buy sadly made a loss of £15. You made the right decision.
0:53:21 > 0:53:24- We did, indeed. Yeah. - Overall, you're minus £13.
0:53:24 > 0:53:26You've ring-fenced that. Don't tell the Blues a thing.
0:53:26 > 0:53:29Not a word. It's not unlucky for some.
0:53:32 > 0:53:36- Now, Blues, do you know how the Reds got on? Got any idea?- No.
0:53:36 > 0:53:39- No.- No idea. We don't want you to know, so that's good.
0:53:39 > 0:53:44- The doll's house furniture, which was your find, David, wasn't it?- It was.- And here it comes.- 122.
0:53:44 > 0:53:48An interesting little lot. A doll's house drawing-room furniture.
0:53:48 > 0:53:51What shall we say for those? £50.
0:53:51 > 0:53:53You don't see them today, do you?
0:53:53 > 0:53:54Original upholstery on it.
0:53:54 > 0:53:57£20, then. Ten, I've got.
0:53:57 > 0:54:0012, I've got. 14. 16.
0:54:00 > 0:54:0218. 20.
0:54:02 > 0:54:0522. 24.
0:54:05 > 0:54:09- 26. 28. One more.- Come on!
0:54:09 > 0:54:1228's near me. 28.
0:54:12 > 0:54:15£28. 28. 30's where?
0:54:15 > 0:54:18All done at £28 then?
0:54:18 > 0:54:21I'm afraid it's £28, David.
0:54:21 > 0:54:23That's minus £4.
0:54:23 > 0:54:26However, do not despair...
0:54:26 > 0:54:29because the little cauldron vesta is next.
0:54:29 > 0:54:33Nice little Welsh lot, here. Match striker in the form of a cauldron.
0:54:33 > 0:54:36£50 worth.
0:54:36 > 0:54:38Oh.
0:54:38 > 0:54:40£20, then.
0:54:42 > 0:54:44Someone must collect match strikers.
0:54:44 > 0:54:46A £10 note. £10.
0:54:46 > 0:54:48Ten. 12, is it? 12. 14.
0:54:48 > 0:54:5016.
0:54:50 > 0:54:5318. 20.
0:54:54 > 0:54:57Have you stopped? 22. 24, in the centre, there.
0:54:57 > 0:55:0022's down here. £22.
0:55:00 > 0:55:0322. This is very little money.
0:55:03 > 0:55:07£22. But it's gone at £22.
0:55:07 > 0:55:11£22. It's minus £33, Lindsay.
0:55:11 > 0:55:12- Oh, well.- Not so good.
0:55:12 > 0:55:14Now, the balance.
0:55:14 > 0:55:19126. A cast iron and brass pig balance.
0:55:19 > 0:55:23What shall we say for that? Unusual item. A £10 note to start.
0:55:25 > 0:55:27A £10 note.
0:55:27 > 0:55:30Price of bacon's going up, you know.
0:55:30 > 0:55:32It's bound to be. It's market day.
0:55:32 > 0:55:33A £5 note, then. Thank you.
0:55:33 > 0:55:37Five. Six. Eight. Ten.
0:55:37 > 0:55:3912. 14.
0:55:39 > 0:55:4314. 16. 16. 16. 18, for you.
0:55:43 > 0:55:4618. 18.
0:55:46 > 0:55:50- You having another? - No. I don't think I'll bother.
0:55:50 > 0:55:52You don't think you'll bother. All right. 18's over there.
0:55:52 > 0:55:55£18. 18. Where's 20?
0:55:55 > 0:55:58£18, we done?
0:55:58 > 0:56:01£18. Two shy of 20.
0:56:01 > 0:56:04That is minus £17 on that.
0:56:04 > 0:56:08You are, overall, 37, 47, minus 54.
0:56:08 > 0:56:13£54 down the proverbial lavatoire.
0:56:13 > 0:56:16- Oh, dear.- So, minus £54. Could be a winning score, though.
0:56:16 > 0:56:19What are you going to do about the cheroot holder?
0:56:19 > 0:56:23- We should go for it.- Yeah. We'll go for it.- We'll trust you. - We're down anyway.
0:56:23 > 0:56:25130. A cheroot holder.
0:56:25 > 0:56:29Nice silver cheroot holder with the original amber mouth piece.
0:56:29 > 0:56:31Nine-carat gold.
0:56:31 > 0:56:35- It's a Chester hallmark on the silver. 1897.- That is good.
0:56:35 > 0:56:3820. Thank you. 20. Two. 24.
0:56:38 > 0:56:43£24. 24. 26. 28. 30. Two.
0:56:43 > 0:56:4834. 36. 36 is down here. 36.
0:56:48 > 0:56:4938. Thank you.
0:56:49 > 0:56:5440, a fresh bidder. £40. Two. 42.
0:56:54 > 0:56:5842. 44. 46.
0:56:58 > 0:57:00- £46. 46.- Come on.
0:57:00 > 0:57:05Are we finished at 46? No more?
0:57:05 > 0:57:07Well done, David. £46.
0:57:07 > 0:57:13£6 is £6 which takes you to minus £48. You are minus £48, overall.
0:57:13 > 0:57:15- That's not a bad score, is it? - No.- Not a bad score.
0:57:15 > 0:57:19Don't tell the Reds a thing and we will reveal all in a moment. Well done.
0:57:24 > 0:57:26So, been chatting, have we?
0:57:26 > 0:57:30- Happy family chats?- No.
0:57:30 > 0:57:34Just as well, isn't it, really? Cos there's not much between the teams, I have to say.
0:57:34 > 0:57:40But I'm not actually going to be giving out much in the way of cash, to go home with, either.
0:57:40 > 0:57:46If we're talking about ring-fencing losses, the team with the largest losses are, I'm afraid, the Blues.
0:57:46 > 0:57:48- Oh, no!- Yes!
0:57:48 > 0:57:54So, the losses were minus £48 and I'm afraid that was not good enough to beat the Reds.
0:57:54 > 0:58:01So, you've been a great team But the victors, today, are the Reds, by only losing £13...
0:58:01 > 0:58:04- Excellent.- ..which is quite close.- It is. Yeah.
0:58:04 > 0:58:10But £14 profit on your kitchen thermometer is nothing else but phenomenal, really.
0:58:10 > 0:58:15Overall then, minus £13 wins it today. We've had tremendous fun.
0:58:15 > 0:58:18- Join us soon for some more bargain hunting. Yes?- Yes.
