0:00:02 > 0:00:08- Hello? Is that Bargain Hunt's executive producer?- 'Yes, yes. I wanted a quick word, Tim.
0:00:08 > 0:00:14'I think we need to toe the line with the public mood. Be a bit more downcast, sad animals,
0:00:14 > 0:00:18'human interest stories. What do you think?'
0:00:18 > 0:00:25- More animals?! What do you mean?! - Well, we want...less fun. Can I count on you?'
0:00:25 > 0:00:29Count on me? More animals?! Less fun?!
0:00:30 > 0:00:35You can blow that for a lark! Let's go bargain hunting! Oh, yes!
0:01:03 > 0:01:06You find me on a fine day in incredibly high spirits
0:01:06 > 0:01:09at the Grimsthorpe Castle Antiques Fair,
0:01:09 > 0:01:13where we have a multitude, nay a myriad, even a shedful
0:01:13 > 0:01:16of antiques for our teams to rifle through.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Coming up later in the show:
0:01:19 > 0:01:23the Reds make a spectacle of themselves.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27Hello! I see who I'm speaking to now.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31And the Blues are reluctant to part with cash.
0:01:31 > 0:01:36- You've got the money!- I have! - There we are. Thank you, sir.
0:01:36 > 0:01:42- Will it sell in Derby? - 'They look like a lively bunch, anyway! Frisky!'
0:01:45 > 0:01:49Let's go and introduce ourselves formally.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57Hello there. Today for the Reds we've got friends Nicola and Milly
0:01:57 > 0:02:01and for the Blues we have friends Claire and Sue.
0:02:01 > 0:02:06Well, at least they're friends now. So, you two, how did you first meet?
0:02:06 > 0:02:12We met when Milly joined my golf club. She didn't know the rules all that brilliantly,
0:02:12 > 0:02:17- so we steered clear of her. - Really?- Which was rather fun to see.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21- What do you do for a living, Nicola? - I'm an embroidress.
0:02:21 > 0:02:26- Are you? Professional?- Professional. - Are you?- Yes.
0:02:26 > 0:02:33- What got you going with threadwork? - At 16 I went to the Royal School of Needlework.- A pukka place!- Yes.
0:02:33 > 0:02:40You must have been pretty good to get in. Don't be modest now. They don't hand out places with sweets.
0:02:40 > 0:02:48- No, only eight apprentices started. - Out of the nation that year. - Out of the nation.- There we go!
0:02:48 > 0:02:55Well, I stayed there for three years, came home and started teaching privately, as I've done ever since.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- Have you really?- Purely traditional. No machines. Traditional embroidery.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02It's lovely to have an expert on the programme.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04The two of you are in the WI.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08What sort of things do you get up to? All jam and Jerusalem?
0:03:08 > 0:03:13- We don't sing Jerusalem. - Don't you?- We don't make jam.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17- And you don't do calendars? - Er, we may do!
0:03:17 > 0:03:18Oh!
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Things are bucking up. Lovely.
0:03:21 > 0:03:26I think you two will do brilliantly. Very, very good luck.
0:03:26 > 0:03:32- Now for the Blues. How did you two meet?- We met at a school we teach at in Leicester.
0:03:32 > 0:03:37- What subject were you teaching, Claire?- I was teaching Art.
0:03:37 > 0:03:42Originally, I was trained in Fine Arts at the Ruskin School of Drawing,
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Are you an art collector at all?
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Yes, I do like to buy it when I go to exhibitions.
0:03:49 > 0:03:54If I'm having an exhibition, I appreciate people buying my work,
0:03:54 > 0:03:59- so I try to reciprocate. - It's a back scratch exercise.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03- Yes, yes.- Good. Now, Sue, do you have much buying and selling experience?
0:04:03 > 0:04:07Not much, but I have made a couple of good buys, I think,
0:04:07 > 0:04:12including some Isherwood paintings in the 1960s, 1970s.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16We paid something like £10 or £15.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- They are now worth several hundred, even a thousand.- Really?
0:04:20 > 0:04:22But I haven't sold any yet.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27Well, today is your opportunity to both buy and sell.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29How exciting is that?
0:04:29 > 0:04:33But first things first. £300 apiece. You standing by?
0:04:33 > 0:04:39You know the rules, your experts await, and off you go! Good luck!
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Well, whatever's going to happen next?
0:04:41 > 0:04:45'For the Reds, harder than toughened glass,
0:04:45 > 0:04:48but softer than a bathed baby, Jonathan Pratt.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52'And the Blues benefit from the finely-tuned skills of Kate Bliss.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Don't they look mean? Just as well,
0:04:54 > 0:04:58because today they'll be helping not one, but two lots of Reds and Blues.
0:04:59 > 0:05:05OK, we've met everyone now. They've got their money. Let's get those gals out and shopping.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08No hanging around.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Oh, hello! I see who I've been speaking to now!
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Looking for anything particular?
0:05:17 > 0:05:20That's rather nice, isn't it?
0:05:21 > 0:05:23This is your sort of thing?
0:05:25 > 0:05:28There's a golfing vesta there with golf clubs on.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30The brass one? It is quite pretty.
0:05:30 > 0:05:35- Cos it looks quite sweet, that. This little golfing vesta.- Yes.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- There you are.- Thank you.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- Look.- That's quite fun.
0:05:40 > 0:05:46And that would be... 1930s, I suppose. It's just brass. How much does she want for it?
0:05:46 > 0:05:51- It says 48 on it.- £48. - How much?- 48.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55- It's quite a lot, isn't it? - Well, it is an old one.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57That's the thing that really counts.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59People collect vestas and that's not one you see a lot.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02It might not be bad for a first buy,
0:06:02 > 0:06:04if the lady is agreeable at some price.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08- Agreeable to be half price. - Well, let's not be too harsh!
0:06:08 > 0:06:12- What is your very best...? - How much have I got on there?- £22!
0:06:12 > 0:06:14I don't think so.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20- 48. It can be 40. - 40. What do you think?
0:06:20 > 0:06:26Have a think about that. It's a nice thing in the vein of what you've been discussing. We'll come back.
0:06:26 > 0:06:32- It's like they've got all the time in the world.- Oh, pin cushions! Where's Nicola?
0:06:32 > 0:06:3410 minutes in and nothing bought!
0:06:34 > 0:06:36I like this.
0:06:36 > 0:06:42- Kate, have you seen this rather nice box?- That's a really nice tea caddy.- Sue found that.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44It's very neat, very...
0:06:44 > 0:06:51- Oh, it hasn't got its... - That is actually quite good. Let's have a little look. Come round.
0:06:51 > 0:06:57You say it hasn't got its lining, but it has traces of lead lining, which I think is quite nice.
0:06:57 > 0:07:04The use hasn't been changed. You can see exactly what it was used for in the 19th century.
0:07:04 > 0:07:09- Let's see it on. - We're thinking 1830-1840, really.
0:07:09 > 0:07:1295 on there. Hmm.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- What do you think it'll fetch? - It's got a chance to make that,
0:07:16 > 0:07:20but to be realistic, these have dropped in price a bit at auction.
0:07:20 > 0:07:27It's a nice example, but I'd like to see it more like £50, £60. I'm giving this gentleman a wink.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29So what could you do for us?
0:07:29 > 0:07:32I hear what you are asking.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36I was going to go at 75, but really 70.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39What about 65?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41< Absolute death would be 65, yes.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Yes?
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- Yes, I'll do it for 65. - Thank you very much.
0:07:46 > 0:07:53Yes! First one in the bag for the Blues. The Reds must have spotted something by now!
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- Hat pins, they are.- Yes.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00- Yes. Is that a decision? - People collect them.- They do.
0:08:00 > 0:08:06They're nine-carat gold all the way through. No other metal. You've got turquoise and scroll.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- You know...- Turquoise.- It fits into the style of the period.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14The scrolling's very sinuous. There's hints of Art Nouveau.
0:08:14 > 0:08:20What would be your very best? Ignoring that they might be gold.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22- 120.- 120?
0:08:22 > 0:08:24You wouldn't take 100?
0:08:24 > 0:08:25- 110.- 110?
0:08:25 > 0:08:28OK, ladies. In great condition.
0:08:28 > 0:08:33- They're very unusual. What do you think?- I think they're super.
0:08:33 > 0:08:38- It's a yes from me. - Yes from me. Absolutely gorgeous.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42- That's real enthusiasm. - Gorgeous! Go for it, Jonathan!
0:08:42 > 0:08:48- Go for it.- We'll have those. - Hooray!- Now can I ask you something else now, please?- Certainly.
0:08:48 > 0:08:56- Uh-oh. What?- I just want to see if we can get a really good deal if we buy them both.
0:08:56 > 0:08:5835.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- 140 for them both? - Yes. Say yes! >
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Oh, go on, then! Go on.
0:09:04 > 0:09:10That's great. We've got two. I may come back and buy something else from you later!
0:09:11 > 0:09:16By Jove! She's an 'ard task master is our Milly!
0:09:16 > 0:09:21That puts the Reds ahead - two items in the bag and 140 spent.
0:09:21 > 0:09:27- So you know I like large chunky. There's very big chunky outside. - Shall we go out in the sunshine?
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Oh, Sue, that looks really pretty.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39- But it hasn't got... - Oh, it's missing its back.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43- That's a shame. It's a bit tatty on the back. Claire?- Is it Georgian?
0:09:43 > 0:09:45No, I think it's probably...
0:09:45 > 0:09:48sort of Edwardian, I would say, looking at that.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52It's in the neo-classical style with that floral swag.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54We should ask the price.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58It's such a pretty little timepiece. Excuse me, sir.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02- Could you tell us the best on this? - Excuse us. Thank you.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04- 80.- 80?
0:10:04 > 0:10:08- Could you do 60, just for us? - I'll do 70.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11I think we should do it. For one thing, we're running out of time.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12Fine. Let's do it.
0:10:12 > 0:10:17- You've got the money.- You're the only one with pockets! Thank you.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Excellent. £70 and a timepiece purchased.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26One item still to find for each team.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29£20 for an owl. Going cheep.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31What a hoot!
0:10:35 > 0:10:39This is Lalique. A late piece, but a lovely colour.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43- There are people who collect it. - It's a famous name.
0:10:43 > 0:10:48It's after he died. It's signed Lalique, not R Lalique.
0:10:48 > 0:10:54- This is the '40s, probably. Possibly a bit later. - What do you think to that?
0:10:54 > 0:10:56How much is our Lalique?
0:10:56 > 0:10:59< Well, I was asking 200.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03What have we got left? 160?
0:11:03 > 0:11:09We've got 160, but it's got to be less than that so I've got a couple of quid left.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- 155, then. - For a Lalique scent bottle.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14What about 150?
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- Could we have 150?- 150!- Gives me a tenner. OK. Happy with 150 quid?
0:11:18 > 0:11:23- Yes.- It looks a lot of thing for 150.- They've said yes.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25They'll take it!
0:11:25 > 0:11:30The girls needed a little cattle prodding there, but that's it. All done for the Reds.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34Now with 11 minutes left, the Blues need to find their final item.
0:11:34 > 0:11:39OK, just do a quick scan. See if anything takes your eye.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Do I detect panic in Kate's voice?
0:11:42 > 0:11:45I'm getting a no-no from Claire.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48On we go!
0:11:52 > 0:11:58- There's quite a few pictures here. - Let's have a look and see if they have any hunting ones.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02- They go, don't they, at auction? - Is that what you like?
0:12:02 > 0:12:08- They're lovely.- These are sort of little sketches, little vignettes of little puppy dogs.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- Quite commercial subjects.- Yeah.
0:12:10 > 0:12:16I'd like a little set of them, see if we could get a little set.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19That would look nice at auction if they were sold as one lot.
0:12:19 > 0:12:24- How much are these, sir?- 45 each. - 45 each. OK.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- Could you do us a deal for more than one?- Yes.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31- What could you do if we took three, sir?- £30 each.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33So £90 for three.
0:12:33 > 0:12:39You see, at auction I would probably estimate three at £40-£60.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41I'll do them at 85. Another £5 off.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45- 85 for three?- Yeah.- Yeah, let's go for those three.- You happy?
0:12:45 > 0:12:49- I'll go along with Claire, yes. - And see how it goes in auction.
0:12:49 > 0:12:55- We've got to buy something. We'll take them.- That's it.
0:12:55 > 0:12:56Time's up.
0:12:57 > 0:13:03Let's have a quick reminder of what the Reds hope will win the show for them today.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05First up for the Reds,
0:13:05 > 0:13:10a pair of gold and turquoise hat pins, and very nice too at £110.
0:13:10 > 0:13:15A close second, Milly negotiated £30 for the vesta case
0:13:15 > 0:13:17with the same stall owner.
0:13:18 > 0:13:23And, finally, they're not scared by splashing cash, these two.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26£150 for the Lalique scent bottle.
0:13:28 > 0:13:33- So tell me about your morning. Happy shoppers, yes?- Very happy.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37- And we've spent nearly all your money.- All the money?- Very nearly.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39How much Leftover Lolly is there?
0:13:39 > 0:13:44One crisp, folded-up ten-pound note.
0:13:44 > 0:13:50You are marvellous, you girls! £290. Down the drain or not down the drain?
0:13:50 > 0:13:54So that's all the Leftover Lolly you're going to get.
0:13:54 > 0:14:01You're supposed to find a Bonus Buy that will attract enormous profits for these chickens out of that £10.
0:14:01 > 0:14:06- Is this a challenge or a challenge? - I reckon I could double my money. - Double your money.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Now let's recap on the Blues.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Their first item took a while.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15But £65 bought them the Rosewood tea caddy.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21Next they splashed out £70 on the silver timepiece.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24And finally, with only minutes remaining,
0:14:24 > 0:14:27came the Cecil Aldin prints for £85.
0:14:27 > 0:14:32With that, Bob has become your proverbial uncle and they're done.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- How much did you spend? - Altogether, we spent 220.- 220.
0:14:37 > 0:14:42That's £80 of Leftover Lolly. That goes straight to Kate Bliss.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46- Very good luck, Kate. - Thank you.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01It's very nice to be here at Hansons Auctions
0:15:01 > 0:15:04at the Mackworth Hotel, just outside Derby.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06- Charles.- Great to see you.
0:15:06 > 0:15:11Now Nicola and Milly, the Reds, they went with this very nice
0:15:11 > 0:15:14gold hat pin set. How do you rate that, Charles?
0:15:14 > 0:15:18I like it very much. It's got great style. In the market today,
0:15:18 > 0:15:22these small bits of very collectable jewellery are extremely popular
0:15:22 > 0:15:28and in the whole Arts and Crafts style, I think it sits very well and will do very well.
0:15:28 > 0:15:33- In retail, it could be £250-£300. - Oh!- In the wholesale auction market,
0:15:33 > 0:15:38I would certainly happily see it race away and make £150.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- Would you?- I really do. If not more.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45- That's reassuring because Jonathan paid £110.- Yes.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49Next, my tummy drops... the brass vesta case.
0:15:49 > 0:15:56We are happy it's probably mid-20th century, so it has a certain vintage about it that aids value.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59- However, it is decorative. - What's your handicap?
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Em...24.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05Is that all it's worth?! No, seriously, what's the estimate?
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Wind blowing, on a good day,
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- between £20 and £30. - That would be a hole in one.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- At a push.- £30 they paid.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17- Now this little blue joker here. It's got the right name.- It has.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21Lalique. Beautifully moulded with the masks and the outline.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25- My guide price is £60-£100. - Oh! Lordy, Charles.
0:16:25 > 0:16:30I had a horrible feeling you'd say that. £150 they paid.
0:16:30 > 0:16:37We have had interest. Two or three parties overseas are expressing interest,
0:16:37 > 0:16:41- so hopefully we'll sell it well. - Well, confident about the hat pin,
0:16:41 > 0:16:47- frankly it's neither here nor there about the golfing job. You'll just swoop that off.- Correct.
0:16:47 > 0:16:54This fellow could be a problem and if it is, they're going to need the Bonus Buy, so let's look at it.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- Ah!- It is!- An owl!
0:17:00 > 0:17:05- It must be a Bavarian owl!- An owl! - They're Sheffield Wednesday fans.
0:17:05 > 0:17:13- They kept saying, "We're looking for an owl." That's... What is it? It's the mascot.- We are the Owls.
0:17:13 > 0:17:19- Yes.- And this will be... This will be the...- Marvellous! - ..the money raiser.
0:17:19 > 0:17:25It's about 100 years old, Bavarian, carved pine. I've called it a desk tidy.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27A little pot for putting stuff in.
0:17:27 > 0:17:34- Oh, it's marvellous. Isn't it? - I think you've done fantastically well.- For a tenner. Well done.
0:17:34 > 0:17:41- I paid a tenner.- You like it, girls? You don't have to decide right now. You can decide later.
0:17:41 > 0:17:47But for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Jonathan's little owl.
0:17:47 > 0:17:52I think he's done very well. With my guide price at £20-£30,
0:17:52 > 0:17:55it might fly away and make 30, but it could make 5.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59It might fly high, fly low. It's a good job.
0:17:59 > 0:18:04We'll shove him down to roost. That's the Reds. Now for the Blues,
0:18:04 > 0:18:10- Our Claire and Sue.- Yes. - They all went with this rosewood tea caddy.- Yes, yes.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Why I don't know, cos it's a pretty standard job.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16- I quite like it.- Do you?
0:18:16 > 0:18:20I disagree, Tim. I think it's a really attractive example
0:18:20 > 0:18:27- of its type, which must be, I suppose, 1820, 1825. - What's your estimate?
0:18:27 > 0:18:32- I hope it would make £70-£100. - Do you? £65 paid.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36- Fine.- That's fine, isn't it? - I foresee profit.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Now the wee timepiece in front there.
0:18:39 > 0:18:44Again, I like the form of it, the sort of window shape.
0:18:44 > 0:18:50And it's in fairly good order. I think it's a good, small, attractive timepiece
0:18:50 > 0:18:57- and it ought to do quite well. - How much, then?- I hope it would make £60, £70, wind blowing £80.
0:18:57 > 0:19:04- We need a positive gale. £70 is what they paid.- Fine. - So give it a good puff.- I will.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Now, the three Cecil Aldin prints.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11They're nicely framed, nicely mounted and ready to go, really.
0:19:11 > 0:19:18- They are good. They're more interior decorators' pieces.- Yes. - But with a good name, Aldin.
0:19:18 > 0:19:23I would say their market value would be £40-£60.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26£85 paid. They could be the problem.
0:19:26 > 0:19:32If they are the problem we think they could be, they'll need their Bonus Buy, so let's look at it.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36We shied away from ceramics,
0:19:36 > 0:19:39so I went for the pearlware supper dish,
0:19:39 > 0:19:43- which we did cast our eyes on very briefly.- Yes.
0:19:43 > 0:19:48For collectors of blue and white it's a very good buy and I paid £50.
0:19:48 > 0:19:54- We saw it, didn't we? And we asked her how much it was. - I like it.
0:19:54 > 0:19:59- Do you think it will make a profit? - Well, I think it has a slim chance.
0:19:59 > 0:20:05If the right buyers are here, I can see somebody paying more. I think I paid a fair price.
0:20:05 > 0:20:10It's not a huge bargain. But it's got a chance to make a teensy bit more.
0:20:10 > 0:20:15Now, though, for the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks of Kate's dish.
0:20:15 > 0:20:20I like it. It's the willow pattern. We think of 1795.
0:20:20 > 0:20:25This, I suspect, is 15 or 20 years later. 1820-ish, thereabouts.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29- It's a good object to a collector. - How good an object?
0:20:29 > 0:20:34- I would say my value would be £40-£60.- £40-£60. - In the auction market.
0:20:34 > 0:20:40- Well, Kate paid 50.- I saw one quite similar about two months ago. - How much did you get?- £65.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44- There is some hope, then.- I hope so. - It springs eternal.
0:20:44 > 0:20:50- Correct.- Jolly good, Charles. Good luck on the rostrum. We can't wait to see you perform.
0:21:00 > 0:21:06Now, Nicola and Milly, we are on the edge of the abyss. Are you feeling at all nervy?
0:21:06 > 0:21:10- Not at all. I'm very excited. - Are you?- Yes.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12It's very exciting.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16- It's not our money, fortunately. - No!
0:21:17 > 0:21:22The first item up - don't get too excited - is the hat pins. Here they come.
0:21:22 > 0:21:27A delightful lot. I've got lots of interest here.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32I'm going to start this lot at £100. Do I see 110, please?
0:21:32 > 0:21:35At £100. Do I see 110 now?
0:21:35 > 0:21:39At £100. I'll take 110. Fair warning. All done?
0:21:39 > 0:21:44I look for £110. All done at £100? Yes, we are.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Done!
0:21:46 > 0:21:51No! I don't believe it! £100, all that build up. Minus £10.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Now the vesta case. Stand by for this.
0:21:54 > 0:21:59Stylish, collectable, we like it...a lot.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02And we've got two bids. And I'll start here at £28.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Do I see 30 now?
0:22:04 > 0:22:0628. 30. 2. 5.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10- You're in profit. - 40. 5. 50. One more?
0:22:10 > 0:22:1250. 5, madam?
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Are you sure? 55. 60.
0:22:15 > 0:22:165.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18One more. Madam?
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Are you sure? Really sure?
0:22:21 > 0:22:24It's your bid, sir. I'll take 5.
0:22:24 > 0:22:275. 70. 5!
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- Are you sure?- I'm frightened!
0:22:30 > 0:22:35"No," she says. No? Fair warning, we'll sell. You're in, sir.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37The lady is out. 5! 80!
0:22:37 > 0:22:42- 5?- This is ridiculous! - She shakes her head.
0:22:42 > 0:22:4580. All done? We'll sell. Fair warning.
0:22:45 > 0:22:4880 to you, sir. It's a sale.
0:22:48 > 0:22:53- Was that £80?- £80. - That's plus £50 on that.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57How can you make £50 on a miserable little vesta?
0:22:57 > 0:22:59A lovely Lalique soap bottle.
0:22:59 > 0:23:04There we are. A disk cover. We have got some interest here.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08I have one, two, three bids and I am straight in at 45.
0:23:08 > 0:23:1155. 65.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14£75. Do I see 80?
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Come on. 80. 5. 90.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19I'm out. Do I see 5? Surely.
0:23:19 > 0:23:2290. I'll take 5 now. 90.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25I'll take 5. Do I see 5?
0:23:25 > 0:23:285! 100? Come on!
0:23:28 > 0:23:35Are you sure? £100? No, she says. You're in, sir, at £95.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Do I see 100 now?
0:23:37 > 0:23:43Fair warning. You're in, you're out. At £95, we say sale.
0:23:43 > 0:23:48- £95.- £55.- Dear, oh, dear. That is minus £55.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52You were plus £40. You're now minus £15.
0:23:52 > 0:23:59- Right.- That's not too bad. What are you going to do about the old Bavarian, you know, owl?
0:23:59 > 0:24:02- Definitely going Bavarian! - Going for it.
0:24:02 > 0:24:07It's an owl with glass eyes. We've got two bids.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11A bit of interest and I've got conflicting bids.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15So I must start with conflicting bids at £45.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19- Jonathan!- Do I see 50?
0:24:19 > 0:24:24Surely, come on. At £45 now. Do I see 50?
0:24:24 > 0:24:26I'll take £50. Surely somewhere.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29At £45. All done?
0:24:29 > 0:24:34All out? Going once, going twice. Three times. At £45.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36We say sale.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40- Jonathan, you've redeemed yourself. - Yes!- Well done.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43So that is plus £35, right?
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Which means overall, girls,
0:24:46 > 0:24:48you have got £20 of profit.
0:24:48 > 0:24:54- Yes!- That's the bus fare home. - That is something else from the golfing duo.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- Amazing!- It is amazing.
0:24:57 > 0:25:02The big trick now is don't tell the Blues a thing.
0:25:07 > 0:25:13- Claire and Sue, do you know how the Reds got on?- No.- No idea. Good. We don't want you to know.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17Now first up is the tea caddy and here it comes.
0:25:17 > 0:25:22Rosewood tea caddy. I will start at £45.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Do I see 50, please? 45.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29- 50.- Lord!- 55. 60.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33- 5 I am bid. Do I see 70? - Come on!- At £65.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Surely 70. Come on! At £65.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40Fair warning, we sell. All out on the book. You're out.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42We say sale.
0:25:42 > 0:25:47Wiped its face. £65. No profit, no loss. No shame.
0:25:47 > 0:25:52- All right?- OK.- Here we go. Now the timepiece.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54This is your choice, Sue.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58A lovely silver arched timepiece. There we are, lovely example.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02And I am bid straight in here at 45. Do I see 50 now?
0:26:02 > 0:26:0550. 5. 60. 5.
0:26:05 > 0:26:0770. 5. 80.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11I'm out. Do I see 5? 90. 5.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14100. 110. 120?
0:26:14 > 0:26:18I'll take 115, sir. He walked away.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22At 110. Do I see 115?
0:26:22 > 0:26:24At 110. Fair warning.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28We'll sell to you, sir, at £110. Sold.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32£110. You made 40 smackers just like that, which is super.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36Well done! Now it's down to you, Claire.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40There we are. We've got these delightful pictures.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44Cecil Aldin. Three humorous animal prints.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48I am bid here straight in at £25. Do I see 8?
0:26:48 > 0:26:5230. 2. 5. 8. I'm out.
0:26:52 > 0:26:5640. 2. Are you sure? One more, come on.
0:26:56 > 0:26:5942. 5. 8.
0:26:59 > 0:27:0250. 5?
0:27:02 > 0:27:06Oh, walks away. 50 here. Miss Hornblower, your place.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09At 50, fair warning. We say sale.
0:27:09 > 0:27:14£50. Did he sell that at 50? That is minus £35.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Minus £35. You were plus 40.
0:27:17 > 0:27:24- That means overall you are plus £5. - You did say that you didn't think they were going to go for much.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28Listen, you've got a £5 profit. What about the willow pattern dish?
0:27:28 > 0:27:33You could take that £5 profit or are you going to risk it...?
0:27:33 > 0:27:39- We'll go for it. - You're going with the Bonus Buy? Yes? Thank goodness! Here it comes.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43Nice object in good condition. Circa 1815.
0:27:43 > 0:27:49I've got plenty of interest. I'll start here at £35.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Do I see 40 now?
0:27:51 > 0:27:5435. Miss Hornblower. 40. 5. 50.
0:27:54 > 0:27:565. 60.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00And I'm out. 60. I'll take 5 now. Come on!
0:28:00 > 0:28:03- Come on!- Where's 5? Come on!
0:28:03 > 0:28:0860, all done? It's your bid, Miss Hornblower, at £60.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11£60 to Miss Hornblower!
0:28:11 > 0:28:17She's a dream, this woman. Anyway, plus £10.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20£10 of profit. Well done, Kate.
0:28:20 > 0:28:25And you had a fiver anyway, which means overall you are plus £15.
0:28:25 > 0:28:30I have to tell you, girls, plus £15 could be a winning score.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34And the big thing is don't talk to the Reds at all!
0:28:34 > 0:28:37So, a nice little profit of £15 for the Blues,
0:28:37 > 0:28:39but they're pipped at the post by the Reds,
0:28:39 > 0:28:42who, remember, made a profit of £20.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48Coming up, two more teams go on the hunt for bargains, but first,
0:28:48 > 0:28:50I'm off to somewhere holy.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Very holy indeed.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57I've come to Lincoln Cathedral.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00Much of the cathedral dates back to the 13th century,
0:29:00 > 0:29:05when it was given a gothic makeover, the must-have look of the day.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09A defining characteristic of your average English cathedral
0:29:09 > 0:29:12is the bishop's chair.
0:29:12 > 0:29:18Lincoln houses a grand example of what's called a cathedra.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21The word itself is derived from the Greek "cathedra," meaning,
0:29:21 > 0:29:26literally, "a teacher's chair."
0:29:31 > 0:29:35And right next door, this is St Hugh's Choir,
0:29:35 > 0:29:38which was created in 1141.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42It's the space that's effectively the heart and hub
0:29:42 > 0:29:44of the cathedral.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48Running round the perimeter are 53 stalls.
0:29:48 > 0:29:53There are 53 canon connected with the cathedral,
0:29:53 > 0:29:57and each of them would have their own individual space.
0:29:57 > 0:30:02We've got cusps, we've got arches, we've got crocketed finials,
0:30:02 > 0:30:05and above that sits a saint,
0:30:05 > 0:30:09in all his splendour.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16I want you to imagine that you're a peasant
0:30:16 > 0:30:19who's come in to recieve the sacrament in the cathedral
0:30:19 > 0:30:24in 1500. In your whitewashed hovel that you call home,
0:30:24 > 0:30:28there is absolutely no decoration at all.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31You come to the cathedral to take your sacrament
0:30:31 > 0:30:35and kneel, looking up at this screen.
0:30:35 > 0:30:41With the gentle light pouring through these towering pinnacles,
0:30:41 > 0:30:44your breath would be taken away.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59Not all the carvings in the Choir date back to the 1400s.
0:30:59 > 0:31:04Just look at this splendid example of a pulpit.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08Here, we've got something that was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott
0:31:08 > 0:31:11and erected in 1863.
0:31:11 > 0:31:15On the outset corners, we've got standing figures
0:31:15 > 0:31:18of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John,
0:31:18 > 0:31:22all carved expertly out of a single block of oak,
0:31:22 > 0:31:28and in between are panels carved alto relievo with our Lord,
0:31:28 > 0:31:30going about his sermons. Just goes to show,
0:31:30 > 0:31:35the Victorians knew a thing or two about carving, also.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Meanwhile, back at Grimsthorpe,
0:31:39 > 0:31:42let's hope our two new teams know a thing or two about finding bargains.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45Time to meet our next pairs of Reds and Blues.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50For the Reds, we've got John and Andy,
0:31:50 > 0:31:52and for the Blues, Gemma and Sam.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54Welcome to Bargain Hunt, everybody.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Very nice to see you. Good.
0:31:56 > 0:31:57John, how did you two first meet?
0:31:57 > 0:32:00Me and Andy were next-door neighbours,
0:32:00 > 0:32:03but it was the wives that got to know each other first.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05What will your tactics be today, John?
0:32:05 > 0:32:10Haggle really hard, find some real bargains and hopefully make some money at the end of it.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14Good. And what are your interests in antiques, Andy?
0:32:14 > 0:32:18I collect a lot of film memorabilia.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20I also collect Satsuma vases.
0:32:20 > 0:32:24And are you well-trained in the combat of bargain hunting, do you reckon?
0:32:24 > 0:32:29They had better watch out, cos we're going to be moving around. We'll get these items as quickly as we can.
0:32:29 > 0:32:33- We'll dig in and we'll get some good bargai#ns.- Moving on to the Blues.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35How do you two know each other then?
0:32:35 > 0:32:38Gemma and I, we met at college.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42We left our jobs and went to pursue a career in beauty.
0:32:42 > 0:32:47- Ah!- We met there. We didn't really see eye to eye to start with.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50I thought she was a bit of an emo and she thought I was an airhead,
0:32:50 > 0:32:55- and she didn't like me very much. - But something happened, because you bonded up and became friends.
0:32:55 > 0:33:00We had a night out and realised we had loads in common, and, yeah,
0:33:00 > 0:33:02we've been really good friends ever since.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05Sam, have you now finished in college, then?
0:33:05 > 0:33:09Yes, we have. We're now qualified beauty therapists.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13So, Gems, if I came into your salon, what would you recommend for me?
0:33:13 > 0:33:18- Obviously you're very handsome, so there's not much we can do to improve!- Say no more!
0:33:18 > 0:33:20Moving on, then!
0:33:20 > 0:33:25No, seriously, there must be something that you could dredge up that would be a suitable treatment.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28- We could tint your moustache for you, maybe.- Tint my moustache?! - Yeah.
0:33:28 > 0:33:32What would you do if you were to tint my moustache? Put some dye on it or something?
0:33:32 > 0:33:35It's a bit like having your hair dyed.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38- I've never done that.- Your regrowth might look a bit funny on your face!
0:33:38 > 0:33:41Brilliant. We've now come to the money moment.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43The £300. Here's your £300.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45- 300 smackers.- Thank you.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48There you go. You know the rules. Your experts await. And off you go!
0:33:50 > 0:33:53And they're away! One hour and three bargains to find.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56Couldn't be easier, could it?
0:33:56 > 0:33:58I think it's always better to go for silver, girls.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01It's just got a bit more quality and weight to it.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03You see an awful lot of silver-plated ones.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06That is actually in lovely condition.
0:34:06 > 0:34:10You've got the Roman numerals, and then the subsidiary dial for the seconds.
0:34:10 > 0:34:15If you turn it over, it's all polished up and looking beautiful. If we just open it up,
0:34:15 > 0:34:18press the button on the top,
0:34:18 > 0:34:20and that should spring open.
0:34:20 > 0:34:24There we go - we've got silver hallmarks on the inside. 1907.
0:34:24 > 0:34:29So it's Edward VII in date, well over 100 years old.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32- It's lovely.- How much is it?
0:34:32 > 0:34:35- 85.- 85! I was thinking more like 60?
0:34:35 > 0:34:38Go on, then.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40Should have asked for 50, shouldn't I!
0:34:40 > 0:34:43- I was going to say, won't you sell it for 50?!- Not 50, no.
0:34:43 > 0:34:47- Cos we're going to have to clean it! - Don't dip it in oil!
0:34:47 > 0:34:49Is that your best, seriously?
0:34:49 > 0:34:52Eh... Yes. 55.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55- 50, go on. - 50's such a nice round figure.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59- Help three lovely girls!- Yeah, go on.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01- £50?- Yeah, go on. - Do you like that, girls?- Yeah.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05Well, they've bought it, but they don't sound so convinced.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07I think we've done the right thing.
0:35:07 > 0:35:11Yeah, I do. I like it, I think it's a nice item. I think we did well.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15Do you know what? Sometimes, the first thing you see is the best buy.
0:35:15 > 0:35:19You never know. We've got loads more to do, so come on!
0:35:22 > 0:35:26So that's the Blues up and running. Have the Reds bought anything yet?
0:35:26 > 0:35:30Yes, it is Tunbridge ware banding. Well done.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33- I've got an expert with me! - THEY LAUGH
0:35:37 > 0:35:40- Here we go.- That's a nice-quality one, isn't it? It's a writing slope.
0:35:40 > 0:35:46You've got rosewood, and this wood is birch, I think.
0:35:46 > 0:35:51Date-wise, you're looking at... The style of it, it's early Victorian.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53£72 asking.
0:35:53 > 0:35:58A straightforward rosewood writing slope in good condition is £30-40.
0:35:58 > 0:36:02- OK.- But you've got this nice pattern on it. - It's beautiful, I really do like it.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04- So at auction I'd probably quote £40-60.- OK.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07So you stand a chance if you get it in at 60.
0:36:07 > 0:36:11'Well, John, you said you were going to haggle hard, now's your chance.'
0:36:11 > 0:36:13I could go down to 60 on that.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15Will you go down to about 50?
0:36:15 > 0:36:19- Erm, no. I can go a little bit lower, but not much.- 55?
0:36:19 > 0:36:21Yeah, 55 I'll go.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25- You really like that. Do you want to just go for that, just to get one in the bag?- Yeah.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28Cos it's a good decorative thing. Are you happy with that? OK.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30That's number one done!
0:36:33 > 0:36:37It's like Challenge Anneka, isn't it! "Quick, find something!"
0:36:40 > 0:36:45Now then, this could be interesting. Both teams are eyeing up cruet sets.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48Nice. Walker and Hall are really well-known makers, good quality.
0:36:50 > 0:36:54Sheffield. It's a Walker and Hall, so it's a good local maker as well. Selling it in Derby.
0:36:54 > 0:37:00The only thing is, these aren't that commercial. People don't tend to buy them so much.
0:37:00 > 0:37:04- Mark's a little bit rubbed. Quite pretty, actually.- Very nice.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07- This chap's got a little dent in it, but...- This one's fairly clean.
0:37:07 > 0:37:13- They're a nice shape, they're in nice condition.- Yep. - The hallmarks are crisp, you know.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15There's nothing obvious of damage.
0:37:15 > 0:37:19Often you see a foot's been dropped off or bent over, stuff like that.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21So, £30, you say?
0:37:21 > 0:37:23- Best.- Best is 30 quid?
0:37:23 > 0:37:26- I do like it.- You make a decision. - Yes. Let's go for it.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29So, the Reds bought theirs. Have the Blues bagged theirs?
0:37:29 > 0:37:32Is it going to break the bank, though?
0:37:32 > 0:37:35- 125 for the set.- Shall we have a look around and come back, maybe?
0:37:35 > 0:37:39- I think that's a very good idea, Sam.- We know where it is.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41Thanks for your help.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Now, girls, don't take too long to decide.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46With just 20 minutes remaining and £250 to blow,
0:37:46 > 0:37:49the Blues still need two more items.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52- What do you think, girls? - That's nice. Is it silver?
0:37:52 > 0:37:55It is silver. I have to say,
0:37:55 > 0:37:58I've never seen a rattle in the form of an apple like that.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00A little novelty piece.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03- It's really sweet. - There is a little bit of damage.
0:38:03 > 0:38:08Do you see, they've put the actual bell in here, through this slot,
0:38:08 > 0:38:12but can you see the silver has torn slightly here and here?
0:38:12 > 0:38:14Would that affect its value?
0:38:14 > 0:38:19It would affect the value. For a collector who likes things perfect, that might put them off.
0:38:19 > 0:38:24I have to say it wouldn't bother me, because I think the novelty shape of it, being an apple,
0:38:24 > 0:38:27outweighs the little bit of damage on it.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30- How much is it?- Got 62 on there.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32I could do it for 58.
0:38:32 > 0:38:36- Because of that damage, I'd like to see it at sort of...- 40.- Mmm.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39If we meet in the middle at 45...
0:38:39 > 0:38:43It's a gamble. You might get a collector saying, "Gosh, I've never seen a little apple before,"
0:38:43 > 0:38:46and he's prepared to pay a bit more despite the damage.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49I think we're running out of time, I think we take the risk.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51I do as well. VENDOR: I think, to be honest...
0:38:51 > 0:38:55- 45?- If you get two collectors after it, I think it could fly.- OK.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57It might not, but it could.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59Thank you very much. I think we'll take it.
0:39:01 > 0:39:06Well, that was great, because for the first time, I saw the girls coming out of their shells
0:39:06 > 0:39:09and I think Sam is a bit of a hard bargainer underneath.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11She really got stuck in. And we got a pretty good price.
0:39:11 > 0:39:16So, with 12 minutes to go, I think they're finally on a mission.
0:39:18 > 0:39:22Time's ticking away but Jonathan has spotted something he likes.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27So far, a superb name.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29The big French factory of the 18th century.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31We've got plenty of time, so there's no rush.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34- I'm not even panicking yet. - Yes, we've got about ten minutes.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37- Plenty of time.- £100 for the two.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40I don't think you stand to lose very much.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42I think that's one you should run back for.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46You may not be panicking, Andy, but Jonathan sure is.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50I don't know. They're cool as cucumbers.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56What do you think about this, girls?
0:39:56 > 0:39:58That's quite good, isn't it?
0:39:58 > 0:40:01- Is it a coal bucket? - I think it probably is.
0:40:01 > 0:40:02Have a closer look.
0:40:02 > 0:40:08What I love is this lovely thistle decoration embossed on the side.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11Almost Art Nouveau in date. 1900.
0:40:11 > 0:40:17But you've got lovely paw feet and lion mask handles with rings,
0:40:17 > 0:40:22which are reminiscent of the Regency period of the 1820s.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25- It's quite nice.- The price is 150...
0:40:25 > 0:40:28Yes, £150.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30It's quite high.
0:40:30 > 0:40:35It is a lot. If it said 80, I'd say go straight away.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38But then we haven't seen anything else and time is ticking on.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41I know! We need to find something.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44- Shall we think about it? Look a bit further?- Yes.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47But bear that in mind, girls, because it's a good thing.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50Don't leave it too late, girls. There's just ten minutes to go.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52But how are the Reds doing?
0:40:54 > 0:40:57We've got a fair amount of money left.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00I think we have the best part of £270 left. So...
0:41:00 > 0:41:05I'm now going to try and encourage them to blow some large money on their last object,
0:41:05 > 0:41:09which I think they ought to choose, with a bit of guidance.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16It's quite simply done and it's very much the 1930s.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19I quite like that. How much is that?
0:41:19 > 0:41:20- That one?- Yes.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22I'm doing that at 35.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27- That's Whitby. - That's so nicely done.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29- How much is that one?- 65.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31I like that. That's a possible.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33I like that, little ship scenes.
0:41:33 > 0:41:37- I think the Whitby scene is pretty. Brilliant.- Thank you.
0:41:37 > 0:41:41We'll wonder that way but you may hear us running back. Cheers.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43Especially when we run out of time.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45Both teams have us hanging on a limb
0:41:45 > 0:41:47but with just two minutes to go,
0:41:47 > 0:41:50the Blues are back at the brass coal bucket.
0:41:50 > 0:41:54So, we're really short of time and we'd love to buy...
0:41:54 > 0:41:57You can buy it but I can't sell it for less than £150.
0:41:57 > 0:42:01- Oh!- That's rock-bottom, honestly, it really is.
0:42:01 > 0:42:05You can squeeze me to another £5 note but I can't go any lower than that.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07I just can't see it at that at auction.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10All I can say is, you don't have to buy it, ladies.
0:42:10 > 0:42:14Oh, yes, they do. There's about three minutes left.
0:42:14 > 0:42:15- 140, just for us?- I can't.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17I'll buy you a cup of tea.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Come on, she'll give you a big kiss.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Will she? Is it worth a big kiss?
0:42:22 > 0:42:24- All right, 140.- And a big kiss.
0:42:24 > 0:42:28- 140?- Thank you.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30At last, the Blues have finished.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33How close are the Reds away?
0:42:33 > 0:42:36- You've got two minutes, Jonathan. - Two minutes?!
0:42:36 > 0:42:41- OK, I think, in that respect, you've just got to go and buy those vases.- Vases or pictures?
0:42:41 > 0:42:43- It's your decision. - Vases or pictures?
0:42:43 > 0:42:48I'll go with what you say is the best. I can run up to the pictures now, it'll take 30 seconds.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51- It's your decision.- OK.- We've talked enough about both of them.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54- I've given you enough information about both of them.- Pictures?
0:42:54 > 0:42:57- Which do you like the best?- The pictures.- We'll go for pictures.
0:42:57 > 0:43:01OK. Leg it. You've got to get there and buy it within two minutes.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04They're cutting it fine.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09Is the man here?
0:43:09 > 0:43:10Yep, he's here.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12- OK.- Local.
0:43:12 > 0:43:15- It was the one underneath. - The Whitby one?
0:43:15 > 0:43:17The Whitby one, the windmill and the boats.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19Yes. Them three. How much is it again, sir?
0:43:19 > 0:43:22- 100 quid.- Let's go for it.
0:43:22 > 0:43:26- So we're buying three pictures, one lot, £100.- Yes.- Brilliant.
0:43:26 > 0:43:29At last. All three items in the bag
0:43:29 > 0:43:32for both teams. Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:43:32 > 0:43:34First in the can for Andy and John
0:43:34 > 0:43:37was the Victorian wooden writing slope.
0:43:37 > 0:43:39Walker and Hall was the name
0:43:39 > 0:43:43on the pair of silver salt cellars from 1902 that Andy found.
0:43:43 > 0:43:45And the boys made a sweat over the last item.
0:43:45 > 0:43:47Let's hope their mad dash
0:43:47 > 0:43:51for the set of three pencil-signed engravings was worth it.
0:43:53 > 0:43:55How much did you spend overall?
0:43:55 > 0:43:58We spent £185.
0:43:58 > 0:44:02That's brilliant. Which is your favourite piece?
0:44:02 > 0:44:05My favourite piece is probably the three pictures.
0:44:05 > 0:44:07I like the salts. I think they'll do well.
0:44:07 > 0:44:10But I also like the pictures. On the day, we'll see what happens.
0:44:10 > 0:44:12Quite right too. You spent 185.
0:44:12 > 0:44:15- I'd like £115.- I have this.
0:44:15 > 0:44:17- You have to give it to me.- Oh!
0:44:17 > 0:44:19And then the good Lord gives with one hand and he...
0:44:19 > 0:44:21..Takes away with the other.
0:44:21 > 0:44:25There you go, Jonathan. What are you going to do with £115?
0:44:25 > 0:44:30I've seen some very nice little things. I think something portable, that I can put in my pocket.
0:44:30 > 0:44:34All responsibility sits with you, Jonathan.
0:44:34 > 0:44:36Let's remind ourselves what the Blues bought.
0:44:36 > 0:44:39Sam and Gemma wanted to buy sparkly
0:44:39 > 0:44:41and they did just that, first with
0:44:41 > 0:44:43the silver-cased pocket watch
0:44:43 > 0:44:48and secondly, with the 1920s apple-shaped silver baby's rattle.
0:44:48 > 0:44:51Last up, they swapped silver for brass
0:44:51 > 0:44:53in the shape of an oval coal bin.
0:44:53 > 0:44:55How much did you spend?
0:44:55 > 0:44:57£235.
0:44:57 > 0:44:59£235 well spent.
0:44:59 > 0:45:01Which is your favourite piece?
0:45:01 > 0:45:04The watch, the pocket watch.
0:45:04 > 0:45:07- What about you?- I'm split between the watch and the apple.
0:45:07 > 0:45:10I think the apple is a bit of a risk but it might be good.
0:45:10 > 0:45:14That's it, then. I'd like £65 of leftover lolly, which goes straight to Kate.
0:45:14 > 0:45:17- Thank you.- You're going to spend this very speedily, aren't you?
0:45:17 > 0:45:20I'm going to go and make a snappy decision.
0:45:27 > 0:45:33So, we've come 58 miles south of Grimsthorpe to the Derbyshire village of Mackworth
0:45:33 > 0:45:37- to be with Charles Hanson. How are you?- Very well, thank you.
0:45:37 > 0:45:43- John and Andy, these Reds, they went with this Victorian rosewood and maple writing slope.- Yes.
0:45:43 > 0:45:48It's a bit tatty, Tim. It's got the crack running across the centre horizontally.
0:45:48 > 0:45:51It's a bit tired and it's fairly middle of the road.
0:45:51 > 0:45:54My guide price is between £40 and £60.
0:45:54 > 0:45:59That's not too bad. They paid £55. The matched pair of silver salts.
0:45:59 > 0:46:02They're beautifully cast with the sea scrolls.
0:46:02 > 0:46:06- My guide price is £30 to £50. - Brilliant. £30 paid.
0:46:06 > 0:46:09What about these three prints?
0:46:09 > 0:46:13They're good quality but they're a fairly restricted market.
0:46:13 > 0:46:16For the three, between £50 and £60.
0:46:16 > 0:46:17£100 was paid.
0:46:17 > 0:46:20If there's a problem with that they're going to need
0:46:20 > 0:46:22their bonus buy, frankly, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:46:24 > 0:46:28- Oh!- It could be slightly painful, this.
0:46:28 > 0:46:30- That is a big one. - It stuck in the end.
0:46:30 > 0:46:33Lovely reveal, that. One of our better ones.
0:46:33 > 0:46:37You'd better tell the boys about it before they break it.
0:46:37 > 0:46:39It's a desk blotter.
0:46:39 > 0:46:40It's fantastic.
0:46:40 > 0:46:45It's just nicely carved. There's a lot of detail in it.
0:46:45 > 0:46:49- I paid £70. - £70?- Yeah.
0:46:49 > 0:46:51Is it going to make a profit for us?
0:46:51 > 0:46:53I think it stands a chance. It's an unusual thing
0:46:53 > 0:46:55and these Bavarian pieces can be quite unpredictable.
0:46:55 > 0:46:58On that happy note, that's what you hang on to.
0:46:58 > 0:47:02You decide later, after the sale of your first three items,
0:47:02 > 0:47:04but for the viewers at home,
0:47:04 > 0:47:07let's find out what they think about Jonathan's blotter.
0:47:07 > 0:47:08The bear is really well carved.
0:47:08 > 0:47:10- I do like it.- What's your estimate?
0:47:10 > 0:47:15- My guide price would be between £50 and £70.- Jonathan paid £70.
0:47:15 > 0:47:17- Fine. - That's it for the Reds.
0:47:17 > 0:47:20Now for the Blues, and what a wacky mix they've got.
0:47:20 > 0:47:21They have.
0:47:21 > 0:47:26Fairly standard, open-faced, key-wound silver pocket watch.
0:47:26 > 0:47:29It is. Edwardian, good condition.
0:47:29 > 0:47:31No real signs of wear and tear.
0:47:31 > 0:47:34They tend to make between £40 and £45.
0:47:34 > 0:47:38- £50 on a good day.- We need a good day because they paid £55.
0:47:38 > 0:47:41The baby's rattle in the form of an apple.
0:47:41 > 0:47:43It's well hallmarked.
0:47:43 > 0:47:48- My guide price would be between £25 and £35.- Kate paid 45.
0:47:48 > 0:47:50It ought to hopefully get there.
0:47:50 > 0:47:54- This oval boiler.- Yes.- Do you like it?- It's a good lump.
0:47:54 > 0:47:56I think it has great style.
0:47:56 > 0:47:59It sits well but I'm not sure what its use would have been originally.
0:47:59 > 0:48:02They bought it as a coal tub
0:48:02 > 0:48:05but a more impractical and ridiculous coal tub,
0:48:05 > 0:48:07you can't imagine, can you?
0:48:07 > 0:48:12I think it's Dutch and it started off life completely plain and what they did was
0:48:12 > 0:48:19to bring over a lot of continental metalwork in the 19th century and emboss it up around about 1900.
0:48:19 > 0:48:24And some Scottish embosser embossed this with the thistles,
0:48:24 > 0:48:29and it could date from the late 18th century, early 19th century.
0:48:29 > 0:48:31- I see that now.- Can you see that?
0:48:31 > 0:48:35The whole thing with how it sits in the style doesn't sit so well
0:48:35 > 0:48:38- but in the Arts and Crafts format, it has that presence.- It does.
0:48:38 > 0:48:41Imagine it without any feet.
0:48:41 > 0:48:44Because the feet were put on at the time it was embossed.
0:48:44 > 0:48:46Then think about it as a fish kettle.
0:48:46 > 0:48:49Think about it as a cookery object
0:48:49 > 0:48:54- that you'd shove in your Dutch oven, with a lobster in it.- Got it, yes.
0:48:54 > 0:48:56That's what it started off life as.
0:48:56 > 0:49:01And now, poor thing, it's become a coal tub. The ultimate insult.
0:49:01 > 0:49:04- It tells a story.- It tells a story.
0:49:04 > 0:49:06But anyway, having said that...
0:49:06 > 0:49:09Today the market for copper and brass is quite difficult.
0:49:09 > 0:49:12My guide price would be £50 to £70, which might seem
0:49:12 > 0:49:14a bit expensive
0:49:14 > 0:49:18but I hope the audience will see its true merits in the period.
0:49:18 > 0:49:20They paid £140 for this.
0:49:20 > 0:49:24- There could be a big loss, Tim, unfortunately.- Oh, my Lordy.
0:49:24 > 0:49:29One thing is for certain, they're going to need their bonus buy. So let's go and have a look at it.
0:49:30 > 0:49:34I've gone for something a little scientific.
0:49:34 > 0:49:38It's a little desk brass-cased aneroid barometer.
0:49:38 > 0:49:42What I like is you can see the workings.
0:49:42 > 0:49:46So I thought that was a rather sweet little thing. £60 is what I paid.
0:49:46 > 0:49:50- I like it.- I like it. It's nice. How much do you think it's worth?
0:49:50 > 0:49:52I would estimate it at 50 to 80.
0:49:52 > 0:49:55So I think it's got room for some profit.
0:49:55 > 0:49:57- I like it.- I do.
0:49:57 > 0:50:00Well done, Kate. You decide later.
0:50:00 > 0:50:04For the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about the barometer.
0:50:04 > 0:50:06It would have had its friend originally,
0:50:06 > 0:50:09- maybe its time companion. - Yes, off a desk.
0:50:09 > 0:50:11As part of a set on a desktop.
0:50:11 > 0:50:17I think it's going to realise between £40 and £70.
0:50:17 > 0:50:20- Kate paid £60.- Right.
0:50:20 > 0:50:23So we could be heading for stormy weather.
0:50:29 > 0:50:31Andrew and John.
0:50:31 > 0:50:33Are you feeling positive?
0:50:33 > 0:50:34Absolutely fantastic.
0:50:34 > 0:50:37First up is the writing slope and here it comes.
0:50:37 > 0:50:41- We now go on to number 135.- Ooh.
0:50:41 > 0:50:45Victorian rosewood and maple inlaid writing slope.
0:50:45 > 0:50:50Nice box. I am bid straight in here on my book at 40.
0:50:50 > 0:50:53Do I see five now? Come on. 40.
0:50:53 > 0:50:58I'll take 5, 50, 5, 60, 5. I'm out.
0:50:58 > 0:51:01- Please.- Do I see 70?
0:51:01 > 0:51:04£65. Make a name for yourself. Going once,
0:51:04 > 0:51:06going twice, to you, sir, standing.
0:51:06 > 0:51:09At £65.
0:51:09 > 0:51:11- Get in there.- Come on!
0:51:11 > 0:51:13Plus £10, Jonathan, I like it!
0:51:13 > 0:51:16136, a lovely pair of silver salt cellars, matched.
0:51:16 > 0:51:19Lots of interest, here.
0:51:19 > 0:51:23I'm bid 30. Do I see 5 now? Come on.
0:51:23 > 0:51:255, 40, 5...
0:51:25 > 0:51:29I've got eight. 50. And I'm out.
0:51:29 > 0:51:3050 there.
0:51:32 > 0:51:35- Come on. At 50...- Come on!
0:51:35 > 0:51:39We sell at £50.
0:51:39 > 0:51:41£20 profit on that plus 20 on that.
0:51:41 > 0:51:43- You're 30 overall. - I tell you what, ooh!.
0:51:43 > 0:51:47- Steady now.- They're being shown for you now, three of them,
0:51:47 > 0:51:52and they're very nice engravings, in their original frames, I'm sure.
0:51:52 > 0:51:55And they're very, very nice.
0:51:55 > 0:51:57I have interest here.
0:51:57 > 0:52:00- Good.- I'll start with a bid at £30.
0:52:00 > 0:52:04- Come on, come on!- Do I see 2?
0:52:04 > 0:52:06Come on. 30, I'll take two. Four?
0:52:06 > 0:52:08Oh, dear.
0:52:08 > 0:52:10- What?!- I'll take 2, 5, 8.
0:52:10 > 0:52:1440, 5, are you sure? I'll take 2 if it helps.
0:52:14 > 0:52:182, thank you. 45, sir?
0:52:18 > 0:52:20Yes. 48, go on!
0:52:20 > 0:52:22This is not looking good.
0:52:22 > 0:52:26OK, £45 to you, sir.
0:52:26 > 0:52:28I'll take 8. The gavel falls.
0:52:28 > 0:52:30You're minus £55.
0:52:30 > 0:52:33- Got a good deal there. - Minus £55,
0:52:33 > 0:52:37which means overall, you're minus £25.
0:52:37 > 0:52:39After all that initial success.
0:52:39 > 0:52:41Minus £25.
0:52:41 > 0:52:44Listen, what are you going to do about the blotter?
0:52:44 > 0:52:47As we're down, we might as well go for it.
0:52:47 > 0:52:49It's a very nice
0:52:49 > 0:52:53Bavarian carved desk blotter and we have got some interest here.
0:52:53 > 0:53:00I will start with a bid conflicting at 22, 5, 8, 30 on my book.
0:53:00 > 0:53:02Do I see 2 for it?
0:53:02 > 0:53:06Surely 2. Come on. 32, 5, 8.
0:53:06 > 0:53:0940, 5. Come on, Sir Paul.
0:53:09 > 0:53:11No? Are you sure?
0:53:11 > 0:53:1440. I'll take 5 now, surely.
0:53:14 > 0:53:17Going once, twice, three times, lady, we go.
0:53:17 > 0:53:20At £40 we sell it.
0:53:20 > 0:53:25£40. That's minus 30 on that. Turned out to be a rotter, not a blotter.
0:53:25 > 0:53:28And it is now minus £55.
0:53:28 > 0:53:30That's a proper losing score!
0:53:30 > 0:53:32You're not mucking about, are you?
0:53:32 > 0:53:34- No, no, no.- All or nothing.
0:53:34 > 0:53:37Well, listen, don't tell the Blues a thing.
0:53:37 > 0:53:40- I'd go out looking victorious if I were you.- We will.
0:53:40 > 0:53:42That might depress them, at least.
0:53:42 > 0:53:44- And we'll see what happens. - Excellent.
0:53:50 > 0:53:54- Do you know how the Reds have done, those naughty boys?- No.
0:53:54 > 0:53:57Because they've been pretty bullish, haven't they?
0:53:57 > 0:54:02They've been pretty positive about what they're going to do to beat you girls up.
0:54:02 > 0:54:04And are they going to win, do you think?
0:54:04 > 0:54:06- Or are you going to win? - We're going to win.
0:54:06 > 0:54:09- We're going to win.- I think it's a bit of hare and tortoise here.
0:54:09 > 0:54:11And who won in the end?
0:54:11 > 0:54:15Quite right, too. That's a very nice analogy there, Kate.
0:54:15 > 0:54:17Anyway, it's about having a laugh
0:54:17 > 0:54:21and the first laugh we'll have is about the watch. Here it comes.
0:54:21 > 0:54:26155, a delightful Chester silver hallmarked pocket watch.
0:54:26 > 0:54:29And I am bid £25.
0:54:29 > 0:54:338, 30, 2, 5, 8, 40, 5, I'm out.
0:54:33 > 0:54:37- 50, 5, one more, sir. - You're in profit.
0:54:37 > 0:54:41I'll take 2. 2, 5, 8? Are you sure?
0:54:41 > 0:54:4655, now. Do I see 8, surely? 8, 60?
0:54:46 > 0:54:48You're in, sir, at £58, seated.
0:54:48 > 0:54:51At £58 to you, sir.
0:54:51 > 0:54:53We say sale.
0:54:53 > 0:54:5558. You're £8 up.
0:54:55 > 0:54:57That's brilliant. Plus £8.
0:54:57 > 0:54:59- Well done.- That's a good start. Now your rattle.
0:54:59 > 0:55:01My number is now 156.
0:55:01 > 0:55:03Delightful rattle.
0:55:03 > 0:55:08Silver. And I am bid 18, 22, 5, 8.
0:55:08 > 0:55:11Do I see £30 for it?
0:55:11 > 0:55:14At £28, do I see 30 now? All done.
0:55:14 > 0:55:17I look for 30, surely. Come on!
0:55:17 > 0:55:23- Gosh, that's nothing! - At £28, all done at £28.
0:55:23 > 0:55:25We say sale.
0:55:25 > 0:55:28That's two off 30.
0:55:28 > 0:55:31That means you're minus 17 on that.
0:55:31 > 0:55:35It means you're minus £9 at this point.
0:55:35 > 0:55:38157 is a delightful Scottish
0:55:38 > 0:55:41Arts and Crafts later-embossed or chased...
0:55:41 > 0:55:44maybe a kettle tin, or fish.
0:55:44 > 0:55:47- Good man.- I've got one, two, three bids for it.
0:55:47 > 0:55:52- Ooh.- So I will start at £60
0:55:52 > 0:55:58and go 5, 75, 85, 95 and 100.
0:55:58 > 0:55:59Do I see 105 for it?
0:55:59 > 0:56:05At 100, 105, 110, 15, no?
0:56:05 > 0:56:09You're out at 110. Do I see 115 now?
0:56:09 > 0:56:12At £110, all done?
0:56:12 > 0:56:14Yes, we have.
0:56:14 > 0:56:17£110. It's not as bad as it might have been.
0:56:17 > 0:56:20That could have been a lot worse.
0:56:20 > 0:56:21That's minus £30.
0:56:21 > 0:56:24Overall, you're minus £39.
0:56:24 > 0:56:29You could stick at that or you could have a punt at the barometer.
0:56:29 > 0:56:35- So what do you fancy doing? - I think no. I think we shouldn't.
0:56:35 > 0:56:37- You think you shouldn't?- Yeah.
0:56:37 > 0:56:41A very nice Edwardian brass aneroid desk barometer. There it is.
0:56:41 > 0:56:46I am bid here only £25.
0:56:46 > 0:56:48Do I see 8 for it? Come on.
0:56:48 > 0:56:528, ma'am. 30, 2, and I'm out.
0:56:52 > 0:56:55Do I see 5? Surely 5? Come on.
0:56:55 > 0:56:59At £32. Do I see 5 now?
0:56:59 > 0:57:05I'll take 5 from somebody. We sell to you, the front row, at £32.
0:57:05 > 0:57:06£32.
0:57:06 > 0:57:08A good decision, girls.
0:57:08 > 0:57:12I think you did well, there. Because that's minus £28 on that, isn't it?
0:57:12 > 0:57:17You don't have those minus £28 cos you clever girls didn't go with it.
0:57:17 > 0:57:19That's so good. So overall,
0:57:19 > 0:57:23you're minus £39, all right? That could be a winning score.
0:57:23 > 0:57:28Don't tell those beastly boys, the Blues, a thing.
0:57:35 > 0:57:38And I have to reveal that the runners-up today
0:57:38 > 0:57:43are the Reds. I'm so sorry. You are minus £55.
0:57:43 > 0:57:47It started off so well for you guys.
0:57:47 > 0:57:50- It did.- But, oh boy, did it go wrong.
0:57:50 > 0:57:54- But have you had a good time? - Very good time.- Brilliant time.
0:57:54 > 0:57:58We've loved having you on the programme. Bad luck for being runners up. But the victors today,
0:57:58 > 0:58:02look at these girls! All giggling and very, very pleased.
0:58:02 > 0:58:06Overall you're minus £39.
0:58:06 > 0:58:11So there's no great plus score here to counterbalance your minus score
0:58:11 > 0:58:14but nevertheless, it's a winning score and I congratulate you.
0:58:14 > 0:58:16So nice to see you on the show.
0:58:16 > 0:58:20- Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?- Yes!
