Our teams today should know a thing or two about beauty,

0:00:040:00:08

because they're all visual artists.

0:00:080:00:12

But will they know the difference between a Botticelli

0:00:120:00:15

and a botch job when it comes to finding bargains?

0:00:150:00:19

Well, we'll soon find out...cos let's go bargain hunting! Yeah!

0:00:190:00:24

Here in Oswestry, we have changed the rules a bit,

0:00:450:00:48

because our experts are not going to have to find one,

0:00:480:00:51

but TWO, bonus buys

0:00:510:00:54

to take forward to auction.

0:00:540:00:56

More of that a bit later on.

0:00:560:00:58

But right now, let's see what's coming up.

0:00:580:01:01

Positively Pugin, wow!

0:01:010:01:04

-The Reds go off the wall!

-LAUGHTER

0:01:040:01:07

Oh, guys, it's very wacky!

0:01:070:01:08

And the Blues prove hard to please.

0:01:080:01:11

That is far away from something that I would normally buy

0:01:110:01:13

that I can think of!

0:01:130:01:15

'But who will steal the winning prize at auction?'

0:01:150:01:18

-Oh, no!

-'Let's meet today's team.'

0:01:180:01:21

So you could say it's a clash of the creatives today

0:01:210:01:26

because, on the Red Team, we have Diana and Jazz

0:01:260:01:30

and, for the Blues, we have Alison and Mike.

0:01:300:01:32

-Hello, everyone.

-ALL: Hello!

0:01:320:01:35

Lovely. Now, Diana, you're a painter. What style do you paint in?

0:01:350:01:39

I paint in an abstract expressionist style,

0:01:390:01:41

which means I get the paint out

0:01:410:01:43

and put it on the canvas and enjoy myself.

0:01:430:01:45

So, you just chuck the paint down and have a good time, do you?

0:01:450:01:48

-Well, sometimes I actually just throw it...

-Flick it! And you exhibit?

0:01:480:01:51

-Internationally...

-I do.

-..and all that stuff?

0:01:510:01:53

I've been in San Francisco, in New York and London.

0:01:530:01:57

I sell most of my work in London.

0:01:570:01:58

-And there are plenty of buyers about...

-There are.

0:01:580:02:01

-..if you can reach out to the right person.

-Yes.

-Now, Jazz,

0:02:010:02:03

what sort of art do you like to create?

0:02:030:02:06

Erm, I do figurative stuff, 90% of it any rate, so it's people.

0:02:060:02:09

And, um, I'm now quite seriously into what they call body casting...

0:02:090:02:13

-Are you?

-..which means I cover people in plaster.

0:02:130:02:16

JAZZ LAUGHS

0:02:160:02:17

-Not the whole person, cos that's really quite hard.

-Only bits!

0:02:170:02:20

-Not the whole thing.

-Well, it's hard to do the whole thing, cos they've got to keep still!

0:02:200:02:24

-So you get a favourite bit off my body...

-Yep.

0:02:240:02:27

..and you cover it in plaster of Paris. Then what do you do?

0:02:270:02:29

And then that is turned into a bronze.

0:02:290:02:31

And then I treat it with chemicals under the heat

0:02:310:02:33

and get a bit of patternation onto it,

0:02:330:02:35

stick it on a plinth and there you go.

0:02:350:02:37

That's marvellous, isn't it?

0:02:370:02:38

It should be that you are VERY well qualified

0:02:380:02:41

-for our special programme today.

-Let's hope so.

0:02:410:02:43

What sort of things are you going to go and buy?

0:02:430:02:45

-We might go wacky to start with.

-Oh, might go wacky!

0:02:450:02:47

-We like a bit of wacky.

-ALL LAUGH

0:02:470:02:50

Anyway, very good luck. I think we're going to have a HOOT.

0:02:500:02:53

Now, Alison and Mike.

0:02:530:02:55

How did you first meet?

0:02:550:02:56

Mike was recommended to me as a really good photographer

0:02:560:02:59

when I was looking for somebody to photograph my artwork.

0:02:590:03:02

So tell us about your work, Alison.

0:03:020:03:04

Well, I'm a textile artist,

0:03:040:03:06

so I do freehand machine embroidery.

0:03:060:03:08

What is freehand machine embroidery?

0:03:080:03:10

Well, it's a creative use of a basic sewing machine.

0:03:100:03:13

-It's like moving the canvas under the paintbrush...

-Yes, I see.

0:03:130:03:17

..because you can't move the machine, it's too heavy,

0:03:170:03:19

-so you have to move the artwork.

-Right.

0:03:190:03:21

So it's painting with threads, basically.

0:03:210:03:23

Now, your work's been exhibited internationally.

0:03:230:03:25

I've exhibited in America, France,

0:03:250:03:29

and last year, for the first time, invited to exhibit in Australia.

0:03:290:03:32

-Really?

-Yes.

-That's lovely.

0:03:320:03:34

Now, what kind of things have you photographed over the years, Mike?

0:03:340:03:38

Mostly wildlife.

0:03:380:03:39

I've been in over 40 countries,

0:03:390:03:41

I've done all the major tourist destinations,

0:03:410:03:43

Lapland, India, Africa, Galapagos,

0:03:430:03:47

mostly lions and tigers,

0:03:470:03:50

rhinos, hippos, that sort of thing.

0:03:500:03:52

Do you have to get up close?

0:03:520:03:53

I didn't hear that, sorry, could you say it again?

0:03:530:03:56

Now... Oh, brilliant man! You've got an ear trumpet.

0:03:560:03:59

That's a splendid job. Is it silver?

0:03:590:04:01

-It's silver-plated, Tim.

-Gosh!

0:04:010:04:03

-That's a beautiful thing, isn't it?

-It is.

0:04:030:04:05

Now, for those fans of Bargain Hunt, they will have seen me

0:04:050:04:08

go for one or two of these over the years,

0:04:080:04:11

cos they're jolly difficult to find.

0:04:110:04:13

-How many have you got in your collection?

-As of yesterday, 237.

0:04:130:04:17

That is quite an achievement, isn't it?

0:04:170:04:19

So, today, on Bargain Hunt, will you be going for an ear trumpet

0:04:190:04:23

-if you can find one?

-Well, if I find one, Tim,

0:04:230:04:26

but I think it's very unlikely.

0:04:260:04:27

What sort of thing are YOU going to go for, do you think?

0:04:270:04:30

-I'm going to travel with an open mind.

-Are you?

-Hm-mm.

0:04:300:04:33

-That is the way...

-That's code for, "I have no idea."

0:04:330:04:36

Well, why not! Anyway, here we go, look.

0:04:360:04:39

£300 apiece. Here's the dosh.

0:04:390:04:41

You know the rules. Your experts await and off you go!

0:04:410:04:45

Gosh, we're going to have a great day today.

0:04:450:04:48

Now, let's meet our artful experts.

0:04:490:04:52

Peddling to make our creative team a whole load of cash,

0:04:520:04:56

it's Christina Trevanion.

0:04:560:04:58

And heading into battle for the artsy Blues, it's Kate Bliss.

0:04:580:05:01

Aren't artists...quite fiery in their temperament?

0:05:050:05:09

-Oh...

-Well, they're right brain, so they do things quickly and suddenly.

0:05:090:05:13

-Well, I do that anyway!

-Quickly and suddenly, I like that.

0:05:130:05:16

-What are we going to be looking for today?

-No tat!

0:05:160:05:19

-No tat!

-No repro.

-Good!

0:05:190:05:21

We're looking for wacky, possibly,

0:05:210:05:23

-and also...

-Good.

-..something that might sell well in Malvern.

0:05:230:05:27

-Nothing damaged.

-OK.

0:05:270:05:28

-And only things you like.

-I feel like I should be taking notes!

0:05:280:05:33

Wow! I can't wait to see what these zany teams buy today.

0:05:330:05:36

Your 60 minutes starts now!

0:05:360:05:39

ALARM RINGS

0:05:390:05:40

-Let's get going!

-Yes!

-All right!

0:05:400:05:43

Oh, that IS nice, isn't it?

0:05:450:05:47

I think it's lovely, but I can't IMAGINE why anybody else would!

0:05:470:05:51

-Move on.

-That's possible, let's go on.

0:05:510:05:54

-Oh, that's interesting.

-Oh, yes.

0:05:550:05:58

"National Union of Women's Suffrage."

0:05:580:06:00

Look at that. £330.

0:06:000:06:03

-You've got a very good eye, Alison, to spot that.

-OK, yes.

0:06:030:06:06

-Expensive tastes too, though.

-Yeah.

0:06:060:06:09

Maybe not, then.

0:06:090:06:11

-What about this?

-A cabinet.

0:06:110:06:13

How much... BOTH: Oh!

0:06:130:06:15

-I think that's...

-Oh, la la!

0:06:150:06:17

We're being pulled off!

0:06:170:06:19

I don't think we've got the budget for that, sadly.

0:06:190:06:22

Maybe not that, either!

0:06:220:06:23

What have we got round here? Oh, this is nice, guys.

0:06:230:06:26

Isn't that lovely?

0:06:270:06:28

I mean, that just instantly screams at you Victorian Gothic.

0:06:280:06:31

-It looks like the inside of a church, doesn't it?

-Yes.

0:06:310:06:33

-Yes, it's positively Pugin that, isn't it?

-It certainly is!

0:06:330:06:36

Positively Pugin, wow!

0:06:360:06:39

-Are you all right?

-'Here's a contestant who knows his stuff.'

0:06:390:06:42

Bowl me over!

0:06:420:06:44

It absolutely is. I mean, think of the Houses of Parliament.

0:06:440:06:46

Pugin designed the interior, and maybe the exterior as well,

0:06:460:06:49

-for the Houses of Parliament.

-Yeah, he did.

0:06:490:06:51

So it is certainly a very stylish thing. Certainly very stylish.

0:06:510:06:54

What we need to do now, is just have a look around it and see

0:06:540:06:57

if there are any obvious repairs...or damage.

0:06:570:07:01

It possibly has lost the few of the little seat supports in there.

0:07:010:07:04

I've got a little split on the inside there,

0:07:040:07:06

but that is relatively forgivable.

0:07:060:07:08

because it's obviously on the inside.

0:07:080:07:09

-It's got a wonderful patina to it, hasn't it?

-Not very worn or anything...

0:07:090:07:12

The only thing I'd say about buying a hall chair like this

0:07:120:07:15

-is, really, there would have been two originally...

-Fair enough.

0:07:150:07:19

..so you would have had a pair that would have sat side by side.

0:07:190:07:22

But I think it's a nice thing.

0:07:220:07:23

But, really, at auction, I'd be wanting to get it for £40-£60.

0:07:230:07:27

-Yes.

-Sir, is this your chair?

0:07:270:07:29

Could we have a chat with you about it?

0:07:290:07:31

What would be your best price on that,

0:07:310:07:33

because, really, at auction I would put it in at sort of £40-£60.

0:07:330:07:36

SELLER: Would you like me to tell you what I'd knock it down to?

0:07:360:07:39

-What did you pay for it?

-No, I won't tell you what I paid!

0:07:390:07:42

I would sell it for £50.

0:07:420:07:44

£50? What do you think, guys?

0:07:440:07:47

-Well, it seems very sudden.

-Nice and quick.

0:07:470:07:49

DIANA: But it doesn't matter. We said...

0:07:490:07:51

It's going to rain, we've got to be quick!

0:07:510:07:52

-We do sudden, Jazz, don't we!

-Do we? We do, we do spontaneous.

0:07:520:07:55

We said we'd do something spontaneous, didn't we?

0:07:550:07:57

-Yes, spontaneous, quick. Yes, right brains.

-For £50...

0:07:570:08:00

Well, I think let's try and get it...

0:08:000:08:01

Is there any more movement in that? Because I think 40 would be really...

0:08:010:08:05

-We could come back...go away and come back.

-..the best.

0:08:050:08:07

-Ooh...

-SELLER: Yeah, we'll do it for 40.

0:08:070:08:10

Would you? You're a star!

0:08:100:08:11

-Well, I think we can't say no then, can we?

-It's entirely up to you guys.

0:08:110:08:14

-What do you think?

-I think we've got to go with that, Jazz.

0:08:140:08:16

-I think we have, really.

-Yes, we definitely have.

0:08:160:08:18

-OK.

-Many thanks.

-Shake the man's hand, brilliant!

0:08:180:08:21

Thank you very much. How much did you pay for it?

0:08:210:08:23

SELLER: Oh, I'm not telling you!

0:08:230:08:25

Thank you, thank you very much.

0:08:250:08:26

Quick on the draw, as promised.

0:08:260:08:29

That's your first bargain. Well done, Reds.

0:08:290:08:31

Now, how are the Blues doing?

0:08:310:08:34

What's that little...

0:08:340:08:35

-nice...

-Now, that's very sweet.

0:08:350:08:37

Could we have a little look at that little etui?

0:08:370:08:39

SELLER: Yes, of course.

0:08:390:08:41

It's known as an etui from the French, E-T-U-I,

0:08:410:08:45

um, which is the name for, essentially,

0:08:450:08:48

a little holder of tools, or they may be manicure items.

0:08:480:08:51

In this case, we've got what looks like...is that a toothpick?

0:08:510:08:54

-SELLER: Toothpick, yes.

-A little button hook and a propelling pencil.

0:08:540:08:57

-Solid or plate?

-ALISON: It looks like the ultimate Swiss Army knife!

0:08:570:09:00

Well, exactly. Probably late Victorian, early Edwardian in date.

0:09:000:09:03

-Is it hallmarked?

-SELLER: There isn't hallmarks on it, but it's from circa 1900.

0:09:030:09:07

-OK.

-And the case is all silver.

-Yep.

0:09:070:09:10

With no Hallmark to guarantee it's silver,

0:09:100:09:12

it could be a gamble at auction.

0:09:120:09:14

-So, do they want to risk it?

-What do you make of that?

0:09:140:09:16

I think it's lovely, I think it's really interesting.

0:09:160:09:18

I mean, it's beautifully engraved, it's a collector's piece.

0:09:180:09:21

Originally, you know, circa 1900,

0:09:210:09:24

it could have been on a gentleman's watch chain, perhaps, on an Albert.

0:09:240:09:28

At auction, it's not going to be that sort of figure because that's a retail price.

0:09:280:09:32

-But he's a really nice guy...

-He is.

0:09:320:09:34

..and he's going to give us a lower price.

0:09:340:09:37

I knew where this was going.

0:09:370:09:38

ALISON: I was going to say, does this sound familiar?

0:09:380:09:41

SELLER: I could do that, erm, £100.

0:09:410:09:43

-ALISON: Straight hundred...

-I have a special request for you.

0:09:430:09:48

-Can I hear 99?

-THEY LAUGH

0:09:480:09:50

Listen carefully,.

0:09:500:09:52

-Yes, you do hear £99.

-Thank you very much, sir.

-Look at that!

0:09:520:09:55

The auction goes up in fives and tens, so 99, we might make a quid.

0:09:550:10:00

Good thinking. I like it. Let's not dally.

0:10:000:10:03

-ALISON: Let's do it.

-That's a sale.

0:10:030:10:04

-SELLER: £99.

-Thank you very much. Lovely!

0:10:040:10:06

These right-brained artists have a whole load of brawn

0:10:060:10:09

when it comes to bagging the buys.

0:10:090:10:11

It's 1-1, teams.

0:10:110:10:12

Well, I was looking at this Dalton Lambeth.

0:10:120:10:14

Now, Dalton at Lambeth sourced a lot of their craftsmen

0:10:140:10:17

from the Lambeth School of Art.

0:10:170:10:19

And the artists had their ciphers

0:10:190:10:21

and they all signed it on the bottom.

0:10:210:10:23

So if we did a little bit of research,

0:10:230:10:25

we could actually see who PD was.

0:10:250:10:28

I don't know whether this is a JH or an SH, HK.

0:10:280:10:30

And we've got this wonderful sort of stamp here,

0:10:300:10:33

Dalton Lambeth England.

0:10:330:10:34

-What does that bit mean?

-9244 will be the shape.

0:10:340:10:37

-Oh, right.

-OK?

0:10:370:10:38

So this is what we call a jardiniere.

0:10:380:10:40

-That colour... Bring that colour up to the sun.

-It's beautiful.

0:10:400:10:43

-It's cobalt.

-That's fabulous.

0:10:430:10:45

It is, isn't it? Really lovely.

0:10:450:10:46

And this is typically Victorian.

0:10:460:10:48

Dalton actually started out making sewer pipes.

0:10:480:10:51

So not quite as romantic as you'd think.

0:10:510:10:53

Well, everyone's got to start somewhere.

0:10:530:10:55

This stoneware body was actually used for pipes

0:10:550:10:58

and then they, obviously, branched out into more artistic pieces.

0:10:580:11:01

And they are responsible for

0:11:010:11:02

some really sort of ground-breaking beautiful pieces

0:11:020:11:05

of the 20th century, and the 19th century as well.

0:11:050:11:08

Oh, we've got a bit of a chip going on here.

0:11:080:11:11

What do you think, guys?

0:11:110:11:12

I think it's great and I think people who are buying plants in pots

0:11:120:11:15

are always looking for something attractive to put them in.

0:11:150:11:18

I think, if we can get this for 20 or 30 quid,

0:11:180:11:20

I think it's worth going for.

0:11:200:11:22

We are interested in your Dalton pot.

0:11:220:11:25

But, probably, in the region of £20 or £30.

0:11:250:11:28

Could you possibly stretch that low?

0:11:280:11:29

Bearing in mind that it has got a little chip on it.

0:11:290:11:32

Say something like 28?

0:11:320:11:33

-Well, seeing as it's you.

-Oh...

0:11:330:11:36

Oh, not me. It's you.

0:11:360:11:37

Step forward.

0:11:380:11:40

She needs to do all the negotiating now.

0:11:400:11:42

-What do you think? Happy at £28?

-Yes.

0:11:420:11:44

I think it stands a good chance of making a profit for us

0:11:440:11:46

-and I think it's a lovely thing made by artists.

-Yes.

0:11:460:11:49

Sold to an artist.

0:11:490:11:51

Two things in 17 minutes, which is phenomenal.

0:11:560:11:58

So we've got over 40 minutes to have a look for our final thing.

0:11:580:12:02

The Reds are buzzing through their shop.

0:12:020:12:04

But Kate's got a bee in her bonnet about something.

0:12:040:12:07

Hooray!

0:12:070:12:09

Hmm... It's quite petite.

0:12:090:12:10

Yes, I think it should fit a little snugger than that.

0:12:110:12:14

Heads were smaller back then.

0:12:140:12:16

Well, it's certainly '20s in style.

0:12:160:12:19

We've got the box. Kendals on there.

0:12:190:12:22

And I'm just looking to see if we've got a label. Oh, we have.

0:12:220:12:25

Kendal Milne. Look at that.

0:12:250:12:27

Has it got a price on that?

0:12:270:12:29

-Hi, there, madam.

-Hi.

0:12:290:12:31

What can you tell us about this?

0:12:310:12:32

It's 1920s, 1930s.

0:12:320:12:34

Original box.

0:12:340:12:36

It's also got all the original paper that came with the box.

0:12:360:12:39

Oh, right, all the tissue.

0:12:390:12:41

Yeah, everything is original.

0:12:410:12:43

I can do you a very good price on that.

0:12:430:12:45

-I could do you that for £20.

-It's a lovely thing.

0:12:450:12:48

I mean, it's certainly classy.

0:12:480:12:49

-There's a lot of work in it.

-A huge amount of work, yes.

0:12:490:12:52

It's about as far away from something I would normally buy that I can think of.

0:12:520:12:56

-Out of the comfort zone.

-But that might be a good idea.

0:12:580:13:00

No, no, I think it's a fun idea because it's a bit unusual.

0:13:000:13:04

But I have a small question for you.

0:13:040:13:06

May we have it for 19 so that we've got a better chance at auction?

0:13:070:13:11

Certainly, sir.

0:13:110:13:12

Can we have a think about that?

0:13:120:13:14

-You want to come back?

-Yeah, let's have a think.

0:13:140:13:17

Back to the shopping.

0:13:180:13:20

Just one item to go for those radical Reds,

0:13:200:13:23

and they're still after that wacky wonder to woo at auction.

0:13:230:13:26

Have you had a thought about agricultural implements?

0:13:260:13:29

Oh, my goodness me!

0:13:290:13:30

Oh, no, surely not that old thing?

0:13:310:13:34

It was a thought.

0:13:350:13:36

But I think it maybe is taking it a little bit too far.

0:13:360:13:39

It could be.

0:13:390:13:40

-Good morning. Is this yours, sir?

-It is.

0:13:400:13:43

-Is this an old sort of seed drill?

-Yeah.

0:13:430:13:45

This is your seed hopper.

0:13:450:13:47

All the gubbage in here for where your seeds go through.

0:13:490:13:52

And if they get jammed up, you can take these out.

0:13:520:13:56

This actually pushes the seed round,

0:13:560:13:59

as the belt's driving it, down into those.

0:13:590:14:01

And then this pulls along to set the seed.

0:14:010:14:05

I think it's a gem, actually.

0:14:060:14:08

I think it's utterly nuts. I love it.

0:14:080:14:11

They are having a laugh.

0:14:110:14:12

-Oh!

-Oh...

0:14:120:14:14

-I think I can just about do it.

-Oh...

0:14:140:14:16

Can you imagine wheeling that around all day?

0:14:160:14:18

Of course they wouldn't have been wheeled about by hand.

0:14:180:14:21

They'd have been pulled about by horses.

0:14:210:14:23

And horse-drawn seed drills

0:14:230:14:25

were used from the late 17th century right up to the 1930s.

0:14:250:14:28

-So it would be about 1878 to 1880.

-Mmm.

0:14:290:14:32

-Oh, guys, it's very wacky.

-Yeah.

0:14:320:14:34

-I'm just a bit nervous about it.

-We both love it.

0:14:340:14:36

Because I think it might just be totally nuts.

0:14:360:14:38

There is certainly a collectors' market for agricultural implements.

0:14:380:14:42

What would your absolute, absolute def be on it?

0:14:420:14:44

I couldn't go less than 100.

0:14:440:14:46

Even if we were taking it away for you,

0:14:460:14:48

you didn't have to take it home with you,

0:14:480:14:50

you didn't have to put it in the back of a van, we'd be taking it...

0:14:500:14:53

Right, £99.

0:14:530:14:54

Would you consider doing it for 90?

0:14:570:15:00

-Yes. I would.

-He's a star.

0:15:010:15:03

And that would be the absolute def.

0:15:030:15:06

We've got loads of time. We've had a really good look at it.

0:15:060:15:10

We've got 30 minutes, if not more, to have a quick squiz up and down.

0:15:100:15:14

Would you mind very much holding it for half an hour

0:15:140:15:16

-and we'll probably be back.

-Yep.

0:15:160:15:18

Brilliant. Thank you so much.

0:15:180:15:19

Right, let's go.

0:15:190:15:21

The Blues are falling behind with two items to go.

0:15:240:15:27

But, while they don't have the quantity,

0:15:270:15:29

at least they are going for quality.

0:15:290:15:31

-That's lovely.

-Do you like that?

-Yes, I do. It's beautiful.

0:15:310:15:35

Does it open?

0:15:350:15:36

Well, that's what I was wondering,

0:15:360:15:38

because you have Georgian and Victorian snuff boxes,

0:15:380:15:41

in the shape of a boot, which opens.

0:15:410:15:43

But I think this is just carved.

0:15:430:15:46

It's just decorative, yes.

0:15:460:15:48

It's very elegant.

0:15:480:15:49

It's a piece of tree and it's got something about it, hasn't it?

0:15:490:15:53

It's got some patina.

0:15:530:15:54

It's using the lovely grain of the oak.

0:15:540:15:57

And treen is the name given to, essentially, a wooden object

0:15:570:16:01

that's been handcrafted.

0:16:010:16:03

It's got some age to it.

0:16:030:16:04

I think it's sort of late Victorian, early Edwardian.

0:16:040:16:07

Nicely worn in places.

0:16:070:16:10

Shall we find out how much it is?

0:16:110:16:13

Hi, there. How much is that?

0:16:130:16:15

-Erm, let's just have a check.

-Thanks.

0:16:150:16:17

The best I can do on that would be 45.

0:16:190:16:21

29's my price.

0:16:210:16:22

29 you're thinking?

0:16:230:16:25

-Don't you think?

-Yeah.

0:16:250:16:26

-What do you think, Alison?

-Yeah, I would go for it at that.

0:16:270:16:30

45 would be my best on it.

0:16:300:16:32

Can I hear 39?

0:16:320:16:33

Sadly not, no.

0:16:330:16:35

-Give us an offer.

-41, and you can knock me down to 40.

0:16:360:16:40

-What do you think, Mike?

-At least it's a respectable object.

0:16:410:16:44

Oh, absolutely. I mean, it hasn't been messed about.

0:16:440:16:47

We're on the clock, so maybe we should be decisive.

0:16:470:16:49

I think we should progress.

0:16:490:16:51

-Do it?

-Yes.

0:16:510:16:53

-Shall we go for it?

-Thank you very much.

0:16:530:16:55

At last, the Blues are hotfooting it back into play,

0:16:550:16:58

finally bagging their second item.

0:16:580:17:00

But, at this rate, how will they ever manage a third?

0:17:000:17:03

They obviously have got a standard and they don't want to go below that.

0:17:030:17:08

So let's just hope we can find a third thing

0:17:080:17:09

that lives up to their expectations.

0:17:090:17:11

22 minutes left on the clock.

0:17:110:17:13

So will the Reds love anything as much as that blooming seed drill?

0:17:130:17:17

-Anything here for us?

-Nothing leaps off the shelf.

-No?

0:17:170:17:21

-What on earth is that?

-Do you love it?

0:17:210:17:23

No. I'm not interested.

0:17:230:17:25

-I've never seen a rolling pin like that.

-Do you love it?

0:17:260:17:29

Not particularly. No.

0:17:290:17:31

He wants £45 for this.

0:17:320:17:34

-If that was £2.50, I wouldn't be buying it.

-No.

0:17:340:17:36

Let's move on, then.

0:17:360:17:37

Meanwhile, Kate's still trying to quench

0:17:390:17:42

the Blues' thirst for superior quality.

0:17:420:17:44

My, that looks interesting.

0:17:440:17:46

-I've done a bit of foraging.

-Well, that's good.

0:17:460:17:49

-You said you liked glass.

-Yes.

0:17:490:17:50

Well, in the current market,

0:17:500:17:52

-I normally wouldn't advocate buying a decanter.

-No.

0:17:520:17:55

Because they have absolutely plummeted.

0:17:550:17:58

This one, however, is a particularly nice one.

0:17:580:18:01

It's very English.

0:18:010:18:03

And if we look at it, I think it's Georgian in date.

0:18:030:18:06

But the great thing about it, and its selling point,

0:18:060:18:09

-is this lovely wheel-cut engraving.

-Oh, yes.

0:18:090:18:12

And we've got hunting scenes here

0:18:130:18:16

of a rider on horseback.

0:18:160:18:18

And on this side, he's been thrown from his horse,

0:18:180:18:21

which some people might say is a good thing.

0:18:210:18:23

Hunting's a very controversial subject.

0:18:230:18:25

-There are lovers and haters of it.

-Yeah.

0:18:250:18:28

But, the thing with decanters to check

0:18:280:18:30

is not only for damage in the body,

0:18:300:18:32

but also that the stopper fits nice and snugly.

0:18:320:18:37

And this one certainly does.

0:18:370:18:39

-Phew!

-Phew!

0:18:400:18:42

-Have you looked at the price?

-Yeah. Blowing our budget.

0:18:420:18:44

-It's £120. But at the moment he's come down to 90 for me.

-Oh, OK.

0:18:440:18:49

-89, do you think?

-Maybe if the ear trumpet came out.

0:18:490:18:52

-Oh, I'm not sure. Is it not too expensive?

-I rather agree with you.

0:18:530:18:56

Oh, OK. That's good. That's always helpful, isn't it?

0:18:560:18:59

Can we put it on the back burner with the hat?

0:18:590:19:01

-We've got about 15 minutes.

-OK, well, we...

0:19:010:19:05

So what say you we have a very quick squimmy outside?

0:19:050:19:08

I'll take this back so it's in safe hands

0:19:080:19:10

-and we can always come back to it.

-Sounds right.

0:19:100:19:12

OK, I'll catch you up.

0:19:120:19:13

We'll go and have a look a little bit further.

0:19:130:19:15

Oh, no. They've bottled it. Time's running out.

0:19:150:19:18

These teams need to stop hanging about and sharpen up their acts.

0:19:180:19:21

I can't help feeling that we're wasting time a little bit.

0:19:210:19:23

And your hearts aren't in everything that we've looked at.

0:19:230:19:26

Well, I haven't seen anything I prefer, I have to say.

0:19:260:19:28

-So, I'm happy with the...

-You're stuck on the seed drill?

0:19:280:19:31

I'm very happy with the seed drill, yeah.

0:19:310:19:32

I'm happy to take risks, actually, Jazz, and go with the consequences.

0:19:320:19:36

-Shall we go and talk to the man again?

-Yeah. He might do 85.

0:19:360:19:39

He might.

0:19:390:19:40

Hooray! The Reds have finally made a decision,

0:19:400:19:43

but the Blues are still looking.

0:19:430:19:44

-Oh, a sewing machine.

-A sewing machine.

0:19:440:19:48

-It's really pretty. Lovely patterns and things on it.

-Yes.

0:19:480:19:51

-How much will it make?

-Not very much.

-Exactly.

0:19:510:19:53

-They are fairly two-a-penny.

-Yes, they are.

0:19:530:19:56

-Come on, then, let's not waste time.

-Best not.

0:19:560:19:58

Well, we're back.

0:19:590:20:00

Any more movement whatsoever?

0:20:010:20:03

I can do one more fiver and that is absolute def.

0:20:030:20:07

-So 85?

-£85.

0:20:070:20:08

And that's the absolute def on it.

0:20:080:20:10

-I take risks, Jazz.

-You do. I know that. Yeah.

0:20:100:20:13

Would you be happy to buy it for £85?

0:20:130:20:16

-Yeah, I would.

-Shake the man's hand.

0:20:160:20:19

-I'll just wipe a tear from my eye.

-Oh...!

0:20:190:20:21

I think our Reds will be the ones weeping.

0:20:210:20:23

He'll wipe a tear from his eye

0:20:230:20:24

then he'll be round the back of his tent jumping for joy.

0:20:240:20:26

# I've got a brand-new combine harvester... #

0:20:260:20:29

Brilliant! Well done.

0:20:290:20:31

That's it, we're done.

0:20:310:20:32

-Fantastic!

-Three down!

0:20:320:20:34

That's a first for Bargain Hunt.

0:20:340:20:36

Kate's desperate to spearhead a rescue

0:20:390:20:41

in the dying minutes of the shop.

0:20:410:20:43

But can she appeal to Mick's adventurous side?

0:20:430:20:45

Obviously, they've got a tribal look about them,

0:20:450:20:48

an African spear look about them.

0:20:480:20:50

They do go for serious sums of money

0:20:500:20:52

if they're the right, genuine article.

0:20:520:20:54

I have to tell you, even if they're not,

0:20:540:20:56

sometimes they can make a little bit

0:20:560:20:58

because somebody might have a punt.

0:20:580:20:59

They're 20 quid for the pair.

0:20:590:21:01

I'm not keen on these at all.

0:21:010:21:03

-You're not keen on this?

-No.

0:21:030:21:05

Are they tourist pieces or are they serious bits of art?

0:21:050:21:09

I would say, I'm pretty sure they are tourist pieces.

0:21:090:21:12

We said we would take your advice and we said we would buy quality

0:21:120:21:15

and the glass kind of beats that into a hole in the ground.

0:21:150:21:18

Well, I'll let you into a little secret. I thought you might say that.

0:21:180:21:22

-Did you?

-So I've reserved it for you.

0:21:220:21:23

Oh, brilliant. Thank you.

0:21:230:21:25

-Shall we go and get it?

-Yeah, let's do that.

0:21:250:21:26

Well done, Kate. She got that for £80.

0:21:280:21:30

I can't bear this! Time's up.

0:21:320:21:34

Let's check out what the Red team bought, eh, Ted?

0:21:340:21:37

They laid down £40 on the Gothic mahogany hall chair.

0:21:390:21:43

They spent £28 on the pot, on the Dalton Lambeth jardiniere.

0:21:430:21:48

And they eventually trotted off

0:21:480:21:50

with the wooden horse-drawn seed drill for £85.

0:21:500:21:54

Well, Diana, Jazz, that was good, wasn't it?

0:21:540:21:57

-Excellent, yes.

-Record speed, I think.

0:21:570:21:59

-He's still in shock slightly.

-Is he?

0:21:590:22:00

Yeah, I never thought we'd be that quick.

0:22:000:22:02

Now, which is your favourite piece, Jazz?

0:22:020:22:04

I think I like the jardiniere. I can see myself using that.

0:22:040:22:07

Do you agree with that, Diana?

0:22:070:22:09

Well, I like it. But the seed drill, because it's so risky.

0:22:090:22:12

And that's the favourite? Yes. OK.

0:22:120:22:14

And will the seed drill bring the biggest profit, do you think, Diana?

0:22:140:22:17

-Possibly not.

-OK, well, what might?

0:22:170:22:20

The jardiniere or, possibly, the little chair.

0:22:200:22:23

-You're just hedging your bets, aren't you?

-Yes, I am. Yes!

0:22:230:22:26

-How much did you spend?

-153.

0:22:260:22:29

153?

0:22:290:22:30

I would like 147 of leftover lolly, please.

0:22:300:22:33

There you go.

0:22:330:22:34

Now, you've lived with these teams for this hour,

0:22:340:22:37

so now you're in a very positive state

0:22:370:22:38

as to what you're going to find, right?

0:22:380:22:40

-I'm thinking something arty.

-You're going...

0:22:400:22:42

-We've got to go with something arty.

-Good idea.

0:22:420:22:44

Well, in case you don't get over-arty,

0:22:440:22:46

-I'm going to give you another £100.

-More money? Brilliant!

0:22:460:22:49

Which is your Tim's ton to go and find that special item

0:22:490:22:53

for our special programme.

0:22:530:22:54

And we won't tell the teams anything about it

0:22:540:22:56

until we get to the auction.

0:22:560:22:57

Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?

0:22:570:23:00

They spent £99 on a Victorian white-metal multitool.

0:23:010:23:05

A Victorian carved beech-tree boot was fitted for £40.

0:23:060:23:11

And, after much ado,

0:23:110:23:12

they finally decided on the glass-etched decanter,

0:23:120:23:15

for which they poured away £80.

0:23:150:23:18

-Well, that was exciting, Blues, wasn't it?

-It was. Great fun.

0:23:180:23:21

Cor, how marvellous you two are.

0:23:210:23:23

Which is your favourite piece?

0:23:230:23:25

-The silver.

-Do you agree with that, Mike?

-Absolutely.

0:23:250:23:28

-Is it going to bring the biggest profit?

-Probably.

0:23:280:23:32

-You think hopefully, probably?

-Hopefully, probably, yes, maybe.

0:23:320:23:35

-Are you like this all the time?

-Always.

-Always? Good.

0:23:360:23:39

Mike, what's your prediction?

0:23:390:23:40

-I think the glass has got a better chance.

-Do you?

0:23:400:23:42

-And you spent in total how much?

-219.

0:23:420:23:45

Then I would like £81 of leftover lolly, please.

0:23:450:23:48

-Over straightaway to Kate.

-Thank you very much.

0:23:480:23:51

Bit of a challenge there, Kate.

0:23:510:23:53

It is. Got to be classy for these two.

0:23:530:23:54

I know it does.

0:23:540:23:55

Anyway, here's Tim's ton,

0:23:550:23:57

the extra £100 to buy the extra bonus buy.

0:23:570:24:01

So, a double challenge, Kate. And good luck with that.

0:24:010:24:04

First, let's find out how Christina got on.

0:24:100:24:13

She had £147 of leftover lolly to spend on the team's bonus buy.

0:24:140:24:19

I think Jazz would really, really like this,

0:24:190:24:21

and he's a sculptor, isn't it?

0:24:210:24:23

So I think it's quite a sculptural thing,

0:24:230:24:25

and it's meant to go in the garden,

0:24:250:24:26

it's obviously a sundial

0:24:260:24:27

or something that would've been mounted on some sort of plinth.

0:24:270:24:30

Excuse me, it's got £120 on it.

0:24:300:24:33

What would be your very, very best on that?

0:24:330:24:35

I was looking, really, around about 100.

0:24:350:24:37

Because I was thinking at auction it would probably fetch between £60-£80.

0:24:370:24:41

That's what I'd be hoping for.

0:24:410:24:42

I could probably do 85,

0:24:420:24:44

but that would be the def, I would think.

0:24:440:24:45

£80, go on.

0:24:450:24:47

-And you don't have to take it home.

-Go on, then.

0:24:480:24:51

£80? Brilliant.

0:24:510:24:52

Thank you very much. That's brilliant. Thank you.

0:24:520:24:55

An astronomical find, Christina.

0:24:550:24:57

There's still £100 to spend on your Tim's ton.

0:24:570:25:00

Diana was very keen on the fact that we were selling in Worcestershire,

0:25:000:25:04

and I saw this little piece of Royal Worcester

0:25:040:25:06

so I thought it would be perfect.

0:25:060:25:08

Very, very sweet.

0:25:080:25:09

What did you have on this?

0:25:090:25:12

Erm,...I have 95 on it.

0:25:120:25:15

I think it's a really lovely thing.

0:25:150:25:16

But I would be wanting to pay £60-£80 on it.

0:25:160:25:19

I think that's what it would fetch at auction. Can I tempt you to 60?

0:25:190:25:22

Erm...

0:25:220:25:24

-A little bit more.

-Little bit more?

0:25:240:25:26

-How much of a little bit more?

-Say a five.

0:25:260:25:28

-65?

-Yes.

0:25:280:25:29

Because it's the end of the day

0:25:290:25:31

and it's been in my cupboard for a long while.

0:25:310:25:34

Well, if you're happy at 65, I'm happy at 65, if that's OK?

0:25:340:25:37

-Yes, that's fine.

-Great. Thank you so much. Thank you.

0:25:370:25:39

Let's have a chat about both buys.

0:25:400:25:42

You had £147 of leftover lolly...

0:25:430:25:46

-I did.

-..for the team's bonus buy.

0:25:460:25:48

And you went with that heap there, did you?

0:25:480:25:50

Be nice!

0:25:500:25:52

-I did.

-You did?

-I thought, "That looks quite cool."

0:25:530:25:56

We've got Atlas supporting the world here.

0:25:560:25:58

I think, in a garden on a plinth, it would look really rather stately.

0:25:580:26:02

I have to tell you, I think that's been in the garden since about 1920,

0:26:020:26:07

-would be my guess.

-Yeah.

0:26:070:26:08

I mean, anybody can have one of those sundials

0:26:080:26:10

with a little bar that sticks up,

0:26:100:26:13

but to have an armillary sphere sundial...

0:26:130:26:15

-Oh, blimey!

-..in your garden.

-Armillary sphere?

0:26:150:26:19

-Armillary sphere in your garden. That is really hot.

-Good.

0:26:190:26:22

So you're a clever old fruit.

0:26:220:26:24

-How much did you pay for it?

-80 squid.

-£80, you paid.

0:26:240:26:27

-What do you think?

-OK, fine. Well, give me the alternative.

0:26:270:26:31

Because you had my ton,

0:26:310:26:32

which, I guess, is this miserable little pot over here!

0:26:320:26:35

-Yes. However...

-Oh, yes?

0:26:350:26:37

..Diana is a painter, so I wanted to buy something hand-painted for her.

0:26:370:26:40

So, I've bought them a little Royal Worcester powder box and cover.

0:26:400:26:44

And I just thought these little birds in flight were really, really sweet.

0:26:440:26:47

Hand-painted.

0:26:470:26:48

And we've also, more importantly,

0:26:480:26:50

got this wonderful mark on the bottom,

0:26:500:26:52

which gives us a date code for 1908.

0:26:520:26:54

The price is more or less the same - £65 for that, and £80 for that.

0:26:540:26:58

So making the choice

0:26:580:26:59

as to which one is going to make the biggest profit,

0:26:590:27:02

in proportion to the purchase price, is very difficult.

0:27:020:27:06

And I think, although it's a difficult choice,

0:27:060:27:08

there is only one candidate to go racing away

0:27:080:27:13

out of your selection of two.

0:27:130:27:14

And that is...the armillary sphere.

0:27:140:27:16

-Oh...

-I think it's very nice. I think it's very smart.

-Oh, good.

0:27:160:27:20

And on that happy note, why don't we find out

0:27:200:27:23

how that poor Kate Bliss is getting on shopping for her bonus buys.

0:27:230:27:28

For her team's bonus buy, Kate had £81 of leftover lolly to play with.

0:27:310:27:36

Oh, we've got some bits and bobs here. This is nice.

0:27:380:27:41

Now, you see quite a lot of mother-of-pearl little penknives.

0:27:420:27:47

But the nice thing about this one is that it's Georgian.

0:27:470:27:51

-How much is that?

-33.

0:27:510:27:53

You couldn't do it for 20-ish, could you?

0:27:530:27:56

-I can go 23...

-23?

0:27:560:27:57

..and we're sorted.

0:27:570:27:59

-That's good for me. Thank you very much.

-Pleasure.

-Lovely.

0:27:590:28:03

She's slashed the price on that one.

0:28:030:28:05

So how do you plan to spend your Tim's ton, Kate?

0:28:060:28:09

Look at that.

0:28:100:28:11

-That's in amazing condition, isn't it?

-It is.

0:28:110:28:13

-Lovely. And the little ramp comes down.

-Yes.

0:28:150:28:17

And the back opens up as well.

0:28:170:28:19

-What do you want for that?

-Erm...

0:28:190:28:22

I'm asking 80, but you can have that for 60.

0:28:220:28:25

-Can I?

-Yeah.

-And it's got its box?

-And it's got its box. All original.

0:28:250:28:30

-I'm happy with that.

-OK.

-That's a sale.

0:28:300:28:33

Kate's driven home a bargain with this good bet.

0:28:330:28:36

Now, you had £81 of leftover lolly for the team's bonus buy.

0:28:370:28:41

-Tell us about it.

-Well, I think this is rather lovely.

0:28:410:28:44

You see lots of mother-of-pearl fruit knives,

0:28:440:28:48

pocket knives, at these fairs.

0:28:480:28:52

But this is a particularly nice one. Firstly, it's in lovely condition.

0:28:520:28:56

But the even nicer thing about it

0:28:560:28:58

is the little hallmarks on the silver blade,

0:28:580:29:01

-which shows that it's a Georgian one.

-Yeah.

0:29:010:29:04

-Which is particularly unusual.

-Good.

0:29:040:29:06

-How much did you pay?

-I paid £23.

0:29:060:29:09

Is that all?

0:29:090:29:10

-Which, for a little Georgian one, I think is a good price.

-OK. £23.

0:29:100:29:13

Thanks very much.

0:29:130:29:15

Then Tim's ton, you went out and found yourself a nice Dinky toy.

0:29:150:29:19

I've got a bit of a soft spot the Dinkies.

0:29:190:29:21

But this is a particularly nice one that caught my eye.

0:29:210:29:24

Firstly, it's a horse box,

0:29:240:29:27

which is a little bit unusual.

0:29:270:29:29

It's got its box, it's late '60s in date.

0:29:290:29:32

And it's in really nice order.

0:29:320:29:34

Now, my job is to make a prediction as to which one,

0:29:340:29:38

in proportion to the purchase price,

0:29:380:29:40

is likely to bring the bigger profit.

0:29:400:29:43

And I think your Georgian fruit knife at only £23

0:29:430:29:48

is a bit of steal.

0:29:480:29:49

So my little sticker is going on there, OK?

0:29:490:29:53

Lovely. Thank you very much, Kate Bliss.

0:29:530:29:55

Philip Serrell, how lovely to be in God's country

0:30:050:30:09

on the outskirts of the town of Malvern.

0:30:090:30:12

It's lovely to be here, Tim, and lovely to see you.

0:30:120:30:14

-Anyway, first up with their mahogany Gothic hall chair.

-I like that.

0:30:140:30:18

-You do?

-Yeah, I do.

0:30:180:30:19

It's got a bit of a look to it. That'll do all right.

0:30:190:30:21

-What did they pay for that?

-They paid £40.

-It'll make £30-£50.

0:30:210:30:24

-Will it? OK.

-All day long.

-OK.

0:30:240:30:25

Dalton Lambeth stoneware.

0:30:250:30:28

Little bit of a nibble, I can feel, on there.

0:30:280:30:30

Is this kind of yesterday's, or is it today's?

0:30:300:30:32

Well, luckily, it's yesterday's taste but it's today's price.

0:30:320:30:36

-Because we put £20-£30 on that.

-And they only paid £28.

0:30:360:30:40

-So they've done OK with that.

-OK, fine.

0:30:400:30:42

And their last item is the horse-drawn seed drill,

0:30:420:30:46

-which is outside for the world to look at.

-Yes.

0:30:460:30:50

You are in an agricultural area, and their strategy will be

0:30:500:30:53

there is nowhere better to sell a seed drill

0:30:530:30:55

than down at Phil Serrell's.

0:30:550:30:57

I think they'll do all right with it.

0:30:570:30:59

I don't know what they paid for it but, I mean,

0:30:590:31:01

-I can see that making £60-£90.

-Can you? £85 they paid.

0:31:010:31:03

Well, you know, they should be all right.

0:31:030:31:05

Well, if your confidence is misplaced

0:31:050:31:08

and the seed drill does not perform as anticipated,

0:31:080:31:12

they're going to need one or other, perhaps, of their bonus buys.

0:31:120:31:16

-Now, Diana, Jazz, how are you feeling?

-Good.

0:31:180:31:21

Now, we have a complicated double arrangement of bonus buys today.

0:31:210:31:26

We have the leftover lolly bonus buy,

0:31:260:31:29

which I'm holding for Christina,

0:31:290:31:31

because it's a bit on the heavy side.

0:31:310:31:33

You spend £153

0:31:330:31:35

and there was £147 of leftover lolly,

0:31:350:31:38

and THIS is it...

0:31:380:31:40

# Ba-bam! Ba-bam! #

0:31:420:31:44

-Anyway, there we go. How about that?

-Oh, I love it. Love it.

0:31:460:31:48

-What do you think?

-That's fabulous. I want it.

0:31:480:31:50

So, it's an armillary sphere, Tim reliably informs me.

0:31:500:31:54

It's a sundial, basically, in the form of an armillary sphere.

0:31:540:31:57

-I wanted to get you something sculptural.

-I love it. I want it.

0:31:570:31:59

Can we keep it out the sale?

0:31:590:32:01

-That's a good sign, isn't it, Tim?

-Well, exactly.

0:32:010:32:04

-The big question is how much did she spend?

-Well, I was quite proud.

0:32:040:32:07

-And I spent £80 on it, OK?

-Oh?

0:32:070:32:10

Now, if that came into me at auction,

0:32:100:32:11

I wouldn't hesitate to put 80 to 120, maybe 100 to 150,

0:32:110:32:15

because I think it's a good-looking thing.

0:32:150:32:17

For the benefit of the audience at home,

0:32:170:32:19

let's see what Phil, our auctioneer, thinks of Christina's sphere.

0:32:190:32:23

£80 was paid for this by Christina.

0:32:230:32:26

What I liked about it and why I reckon this is Wonnacott's winner,

0:32:260:32:30

-is that it's got a look.

-Yeah.

0:32:300:32:32

And I hope that this look is going to be the look

0:32:320:32:34

that's going to be popular in your saleroom.

0:32:340:32:36

We've got some good architectural buyers

0:32:360:32:38

and I think that's a stylish thing and I think that will do very well.

0:32:380:32:41

I mean, I've put a very mean £50-£80 on it.

0:32:410:32:43

-But I think it will find quite a decent level.

-Yeah.

0:32:430:32:45

I have a funny feeling the sun is about to shine on that one.

0:32:450:32:48

Yeah, I think so, too.

0:32:480:32:49

And now to Tim's ton.

0:32:490:32:50

This is the additional bonus buy

0:32:500:32:52

which you had to pick in this special show.

0:32:520:32:54

And £100 you had, Christina.

0:32:540:32:56

What did you spend your £100 on?

0:32:560:32:58

-I wanted to buy something for you, my love.

-Oh, thank you.

-Being an artist.

0:32:580:33:01

And you were very, very keen on the fact

0:33:010:33:03

that we were coming to Malvern and Worcester.

0:33:030:33:05

-So I bought you a piece of Royal Worcester.

-Oh, it is beautiful.

0:33:050:33:08

-It's hand-painted.

-I want that, too.

-Oh, good. There we go.

0:33:080:33:12

They want everything!

0:33:120:33:14

And I spent £65 on it.

0:33:140:33:16

-Oh, that's good.

-OK?

-Yes.

0:33:160:33:18

Frankly, in this saleroom, for Worcester,

0:33:180:33:20

it ought to make its money, didn't it?

0:33:200:33:22

You'd hope so. Yes.

0:33:220:33:23

Let's see what Phil thinks of this little pot.

0:33:230:33:26

The second item is that Worcester pot.

0:33:260:33:29

That's just a really nice little early Worcester dressing-table pot.

0:33:290:33:33

-That's going to make between £50 and £80.

-OK. She paid £65 for it.

0:33:330:33:36

Yes, she should be all right.

0:33:360:33:37

-So you might find that it just takes off.

-We hope so.

0:33:370:33:40

Exactly. Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now, for the Blues,

0:33:400:33:44

we've got a mixture here, look.

0:33:440:33:46

Now, how about a Victorian multitool?

0:33:460:33:48

I think that's absolutely lovely. Couldn't find the hallmark on it,

0:33:480:33:51

so we've called it, I think, white metal.

0:33:510:33:53

Put a very cautious £30-£50 on it.

0:33:530:33:55

And if people think it is silver, it'll go and make £100 plus.

0:33:550:33:58

-It needs to make £99.

-Yeah...

0:33:580:34:01

-Anyway, next is this.

-I love that.

0:34:010:34:04

-Do you think it's a shop display, then?

-I think it probably is,

0:34:040:34:07

but I just think it's really lovely.

0:34:070:34:09

But I'm a sucker for that sort of stuff.

0:34:090:34:12

I've put £30-£60 on that and I think it will do it all day long.

0:34:120:34:14

No problem, that's a lovely estimate, Phil. £40 they paid.

0:34:140:34:17

So that's spot-on.

0:34:170:34:19

And then, lastly, we've got the decanter.

0:34:190:34:21

It looks to me a pretty ordinary thing, actually.

0:34:210:34:23

Well, I would think that's come out of a set of four, hasn't it?

0:34:230:34:27

-Possibly in a box.

-Yeah.

0:34:270:34:29

You know, I think we've put, what, £40-£60 on it.

0:34:290:34:32

Do you think that's pretty optimistic or are you pessimistic?

0:34:320:34:35

I think if it makes 60 quid, it's really well sold.

0:34:350:34:38

They paid £80.

0:34:380:34:39

So, if there is a problem there,

0:34:390:34:41

I think it's the decanter that takes them to that bad place.

0:34:410:34:44

In which case,

0:34:440:34:45

they're going to need one or other of their bonus buys.

0:34:450:34:48

First up is the team's bonus buy,

0:34:500:34:53

where you had £81 of leftover lolly,

0:34:530:34:55

which you gave to Kate.

0:34:550:34:57

Kate, what did you spend on the bonus buy?

0:34:570:35:00

Well, not as much as you might think, actually.

0:35:000:35:02

And this is what I found.

0:35:020:35:05

Oh...

0:35:050:35:07

So, it's a little penknife.

0:35:070:35:10

But this one is a little bit special

0:35:100:35:12

Because condition is very important with these.

0:35:120:35:15

And if I just open it up,

0:35:150:35:17

you can see that the blade is still nicely intact.

0:35:170:35:22

Now, very often these are shortened

0:35:220:35:24

and, when they lie in the mother-of-pearl holding,

0:35:240:35:27

the blade finishes and there's a space.

0:35:270:35:29

But you can see this one fits very neatly.

0:35:290:35:31

The second thing is that it's got a silver blade,

0:35:310:35:35

but it's quite an early silver blade.

0:35:350:35:37

And it is, in fact, Georgian.

0:35:370:35:39

-How much?

-Straight in there, Mike!

0:35:390:35:42

-No, perfectly all right.

-23.

0:35:420:35:45

-Oh, that's not bad. That's my lucky number.

-Is it?

-Yes.

0:35:450:35:48

Well, there we go. That's a good omen.

0:35:480:35:49

What do you think it would fetch at auction?

0:35:490:35:51

Because that's the crucial question, isn't it?

0:35:510:35:53

I would put an estimate of certainly £30-£50 on it.

0:35:530:35:57

Really?

0:35:570:35:59

What are Phil's thoughts on the little fruit knife?

0:35:590:36:01

Now, the team's bonus buy,

0:36:020:36:05

which Kate went off and spent £23 on,

0:36:050:36:09

is that silver fruit knife.

0:36:090:36:12

Which, for £23, when you think about it,

0:36:120:36:14

Georgian silver and genuine mother-of-pearl

0:36:140:36:17

and in pretty good nick,

0:36:170:36:18

is not a lot of money, is it?

0:36:180:36:19

No, I put £10-£15 on that, which I think is probably a bit mean.

0:36:190:36:23

The one real joy with this

0:36:230:36:24

is so many of these have been used to screw screws in or whatever,

0:36:240:36:27

and you find that the blades are all mangled.

0:36:270:36:29

-But that's actually in quite nice order.

-Isn't it?

0:36:290:36:32

And it might just go and tickle 30 quid or so.

0:36:320:36:34

Now to Kate's offering for Tim's ton.

0:36:350:36:37

And here it is.

0:36:370:36:38

Just to help you, I'm going to let you take it out, Kate,

0:36:380:36:40

and tell us about it.

0:36:400:36:42

So, inside we have...

0:36:420:36:45

a rather snugly fitting...

0:36:450:36:47

-An horsebox.

-A horsebox. It's lovely.

0:36:470:36:50

It is a Dinky horsebox. It dates from the late '60s.

0:36:500:36:56

I bought it because it's in great order and I think it was a bargain.

0:36:560:37:01

So...

0:37:010:37:03

So I paid £60 for it, which sounds a lot, I know, for a Dinky toy,

0:37:030:37:07

but it's got its box

0:37:070:37:09

and you don't come across these in such good order every day.

0:37:090:37:13

What's Phil's opinion?

0:37:130:37:15

Dinky toys really aren't my thing.

0:37:150:37:17

-How'd you rate that Dinky toy?

-I put £40-£60 on it.

0:37:170:37:20

But I just think that we all go back to our childhood, don't we?

0:37:200:37:23

You know, and...

0:37:230:37:24

-Some of us never left the childhood, Phil.

-Yeah.

0:37:240:37:26

I just get carried away with this.

0:37:260:37:28

Imagine some boy in about 1960 opening that on Christmas Day.

0:37:280:37:32

He's treasured it, he's kept the box.

0:37:320:37:34

-You know, I just think, oh, that's lovely.

-Your estimate's 40 to 60.

0:37:340:37:37

Kate paid £60.

0:37:370:37:39

And I'm predicting that it will have a bit of a problem. We shall see.

0:37:390:37:43

You're on the rostrum,

0:37:430:37:44

you're in good voice, you'll have a crowded sale. We look forward to it.

0:37:440:37:48

-Thank you, Phil.

-Thanks, Tim.

0:37:480:37:49

I've got 200 bid. 200. 210. 220. 230. 240.

0:37:490:37:54

250. Thank you.

0:37:540:37:55

-Are you feeling cool, you two?

-Oh, absolutely.

0:37:550:37:58

Now, the first lot coming up is going to be the hall chair.

0:37:580:38:00

And here it comes...

0:38:000:38:01

I think a lovely mahogany Gothic-style hall chair.

0:38:010:38:05

Bid me 50.

0:38:050:38:06

50 I am bid.

0:38:060:38:07

-50 bid.

-Oh, 50 bid. Fantastic.

0:38:070:38:09

That's great. That's a profit.

0:38:090:38:11

60.

0:38:110:38:12

65. 65.

0:38:120:38:14

-70. 70 bid.

-Fantastic.

0:38:140:38:16

At £70. And five now.

0:38:160:38:17

75.

0:38:170:38:18

80.

0:38:180:38:20

And five. 85.

0:38:200:38:22

-Excellent.

-90. 90 bid.

0:38:220:38:23

At £90 only. At 90. At 95.

0:38:230:38:27

100.

0:38:270:38:28

At £100 only.

0:38:280:38:30

That is marvellous.

0:38:300:38:31

At £100. And done, then, at £100.

0:38:310:38:35

And done. Thank you.

0:38:350:38:37

Plus £60. That is an excellent first lot.

0:38:370:38:39

-Fantastic.

-Well done, Jazz.

0:38:390:38:41

-Well done.

-Well done, Diana.

0:38:410:38:43

Now, the jardiniere...

0:38:430:38:44

Lot number 306 is the Dalton Lambeth stoneware jardiniere.

0:38:440:38:50

Bid me £30. Quickly.

0:38:500:38:51

30 anywhere?

0:38:510:38:52

20 to start.

0:38:540:38:56

-Lee, help me out. £20 for the lot.

-Come on. Come on.

0:38:560:38:58

Then I'm bid at ten. Ten bid.

0:38:580:39:00

Ten. Only ten. Ten bid.

0:39:000:39:02

£10 only. I'll take 12. 12 bid. £12. One more?

0:39:020:39:05

15. 15.

0:39:050:39:06

-It's creeping up, very slowly.

-This is terrible, isn't it?

0:39:060:39:10

Where's the Dalton collectors?

0:39:100:39:11

At £15 only. At 15. Any more at all?

0:39:110:39:15

At £15. And I sell, then.

0:39:150:39:17

£15 is minus £13.

0:39:170:39:20

That's not so hot.

0:39:200:39:21

Now, the seed drill, Christina.

0:39:210:39:24

The wooden horse-drawn seed drill.

0:39:240:39:27

I actually think this is quite a cool thing, this.

0:39:270:39:29

Who's got £100 to start? 100.

0:39:290:39:32

-Come on...

-80.

0:39:320:39:34

You paid 85.

0:39:340:39:35

Bid me £50 someone.

0:39:350:39:37

A rural bygone. £50.

0:39:370:39:40

You don't have to take it home straightaway.

0:39:400:39:42

40, anyone?

0:39:440:39:46

-Lee, start me at £30.

-Go on.

0:39:460:39:47

£30.

0:39:490:39:50

Who's got £20?

0:39:510:39:53

-What a roller-coaster! Oh...!

-There's going to be trouble here.

0:39:530:39:56

Who's got a tenner? 10 I'm bid. At 10. 10 bid.

0:39:560:39:59

At £10.

0:39:590:40:01

-He's going to sell it.

-Is there any more?

0:40:010:40:02

He's going to sell it for £10.

0:40:020:40:04

At £10. Any more at all?

0:40:040:40:06

And done, then, at £10.

0:40:060:40:07

12 on the internet!

0:40:070:40:09

Hellfire!

0:40:090:40:10

Rob, 15.

0:40:100:40:11

15. 15. 15.

0:40:110:40:14

At £15 in the room. Any more at all?

0:40:140:40:17

At £15 and I sell, then, at £15.

0:40:170:40:20

And done. Thank you.

0:40:200:40:22

I'm sorry. You are minus £70 for that.

0:40:220:40:25

All resting on yours.

0:40:250:40:26

We made a little bit.

0:40:260:40:28

You made £47, you just lost 70 of that £47.

0:40:280:40:32

That's three off 50.

0:40:320:40:34

You have minus £23.

0:40:340:40:36

Oh...

0:40:360:40:37

Now, what are you going to do about the bonus buys?

0:40:370:40:40

Are you going to go with one or the other?

0:40:400:40:42

Are you going to go with the armillary jobbie,

0:40:420:40:44

or the blush Worcester pot, or what?

0:40:440:40:47

-Artillery

-jobbie. Armillary.

0:40:470:40:48

-I'll go with that.

-You're happy with that, Jazz?

0:40:480:40:50

OK, you're going with the armillary sphere.

0:40:500:40:52

It is Wonnacott's winner, in my view.

0:40:520:40:54

And we're going to sell the blush pot and cover anyway,

0:40:540:40:58

so that'll be lovely.

0:40:580:40:59

First up, though, is going to be the armillary sphere.

0:40:590:41:02

And here it comes...

0:41:020:41:03

313 is the armillary sphere.

0:41:030:41:08

I've got three bids on the book, two of them identical.

0:41:080:41:11

So I start at £120 bid.

0:41:110:41:13

At 120. 120.

0:41:130:41:15

At 120 bid.

0:41:150:41:17

At 120. At 120.

0:41:170:41:18

130. At £130 in the room.

0:41:180:41:21

At £130 in the room. Is there any more?

0:41:210:41:25

At £130. And I sell, then, at £130.

0:41:250:41:28

And done. Thank you.

0:41:280:41:30

That is 130. That is plus £50. But you've made a £50 profit on that.

0:41:300:41:35

But we're going to sell the Tim's ton item,

0:41:350:41:38

the bit of Worcester.

0:41:380:41:39

And here it comes...

0:41:390:41:40

The little Royal Worcester blushed ivory patch box. There you are.

0:41:400:41:44

Again, I've got two identical bids. And I start at £40 only.

0:41:440:41:49

For the little patch box.

0:41:490:41:50

At 45. And 50. 50 bid.

0:41:500:41:52

And five.

0:41:520:41:54

And 60. 60 bid. And five?

0:41:540:41:56

At £60 only on the book bid. At 60.

0:41:560:41:58

Is there any more?

0:41:580:42:00

At £60. And I sell, then, at 60.

0:42:000:42:02

And done. Thank you.

0:42:020:42:04

You avoided the Worcester pot, which made it a loss of £5,

0:42:040:42:08

so you did the right thing there.

0:42:080:42:09

Overall, plus £27.

0:42:090:42:11

Now, the big thing is here not to say a word to the Blues, all right?

0:42:110:42:15

-Not a word to the Blues.

-OK.

0:42:150:42:16

-Mum's the word.

-Absolutely.

0:42:160:42:19

Anyway, brilliant. And we will reveal all later.

0:42:190:42:22

Thank you very much.

0:42:220:42:23

-Do you know how the Reds got on?

-No.

0:42:280:42:30

No? Good. We don't want you to.

0:42:300:42:32

-How are you feeling about today's auction? OK?

-Yeah, good.

0:42:320:42:35

Confident, Mick?

0:42:350:42:36

Well, I think the truth of the matter is

0:42:360:42:38

that we don't think we're going to do very well.

0:42:380:42:40

Oh, really?

0:42:400:42:41

Well, that's a nice note to start off with, isn't it?

0:42:410:42:44

Anyway, first up is the multitool in silver-coloured metal. £99 paid.

0:42:440:42:48

And here it comes...

0:42:480:42:49

There you are. Can't call it silver,

0:42:490:42:51

but we think it probably, possibly might be.

0:42:510:42:53

There we go. Not hallmarked. There you are. Bid me for that.

0:42:530:42:56

But a lovely thing.

0:42:560:42:57

Bid me £60.

0:42:570:42:59

This is a lovely thing. Bid me £30.

0:42:590:43:02

Uh-oh...

0:43:020:43:03

30 I'm bid. At £30. Only at 30.

0:43:030:43:06

And five. 35.

0:43:060:43:07

40. 40 bid.

0:43:070:43:08

£40. Is there any more at all?

0:43:080:43:11

That's for nothing.

0:43:110:43:13

It's a really lovely thing. At £40.

0:43:130:43:15

Only at 40. 50. 50 bid.

0:43:150:43:17

At £50 only.

0:43:170:43:18

-At 50. 50 bid. Any more at all?

-Go on...

0:43:180:43:21

At £50. Any more? 60.

0:43:210:43:23

60 bid. 70.

0:43:230:43:24

At £70. Here's the bid.

0:43:240:43:26

At £70. And I sell, then, at £70.

0:43:260:43:29

And done. Thank you.

0:43:290:43:31

It's not as bad as it might have been.

0:43:310:43:33

That is minus £29.

0:43:330:43:36

Now the old boot...

0:43:370:43:38

I think this is lovely. There you are, the little treen shoe.

0:43:380:43:41

There you are, lovely thing. Bid me £50 to start.

0:43:410:43:45

Bid me £40 to start.

0:43:460:43:47

Bid me £30 someone.

0:43:490:43:50

Come on...

0:43:500:43:51

30 I am bid. At 30. 30 bid.

0:43:510:43:53

35. On the net. 40.

0:43:530:43:55

45. 45.

0:43:550:43:57

-50. 50 bid.

-You are in profit.

-Yes!

-Well done.

0:43:570:44:00

£50. 55. One more, sir?

0:44:000:44:02

At 55 on the machine.

0:44:020:44:04

At £55 and done, then, at 55.

0:44:040:44:07

And done. Thank you.

0:44:070:44:09

Plus £15, which means you are now only minus 14.

0:44:090:44:15

Only 14. That's good.

0:44:150:44:16

Now, the decanter...

0:44:160:44:18

Lot number 329 is the decanter. There you are. Bid me for that lot.

0:44:180:44:22

Start me off. Bid me £50 or £60 to start.

0:44:220:44:24

30?

0:44:270:44:28

30 on the net bid. 30. 30 bid.

0:44:300:44:32

At £30 only. 30 bid.

0:44:320:44:34

At £30 only.

0:44:340:44:36

Is there any more?

0:44:360:44:37

At £30. It's had its time. And it's done, then, at £30.

0:44:370:44:41

And done. Thank you.

0:44:410:44:43

Disaster. £30 is minus £50,

0:44:430:44:45

which means you are overall minus 64.

0:44:450:44:48

Oh, no!

0:44:480:44:50

We were right.

0:44:500:44:51

Well, now, what are we going to do about this bonus-buy business?

0:44:510:44:54

-Sorry, chaps.

-You've got the choice of the Georgian silver knife

0:44:540:44:57

or the Dinky horsebox.

0:44:570:44:59

Or nothing.

0:44:590:45:00

OK.

0:45:000:45:02

It's up to you.

0:45:020:45:03

Oh, what the hell?

0:45:030:45:05

-You're going for the penknife, then?

-That's not the attitude!

0:45:060:45:09

-All right? You want to go for...

-I've lost the will to live.

0:45:090:45:11

-Shall we go for the penknife, then?

-OK.

0:45:130:45:15

We're going to go for the penknife.

0:45:150:45:16

We're going with the penknife.

0:45:160:45:17

And now you've made your choice,

0:45:170:45:19

I can tell you my choice is the penknife.

0:45:190:45:21

Anyway, we've all selected the penknife,

0:45:210:45:23

we're all trusting Kate, and that is what we are going to sell first.

0:45:230:45:27

And here it comes...

0:45:270:45:28

Lot number 335 is this lovely little Georgian fruit knife. There you are.

0:45:280:45:33

Silver and mother-of-pearl. Bid me for this. £30 to start me.

0:45:330:45:37

30. 20 to go, someone.

0:45:370:45:40

20. I am bid at 20.

0:45:400:45:41

And five. One more, madam?

0:45:410:45:44

-30, may I?

-Go on!

0:45:440:45:46

At 30, is it? 30 I am bid. It's 30 bid.

0:45:460:45:49

Five, sir.

0:45:490:45:50

35. At 35. 35. Any more?

0:45:500:45:53

You're in profit, anyway.

0:45:530:45:54

At £35.

0:45:540:45:56

Front row, and I sell, then, at 35. And done. Thank you.

0:45:560:46:00

£35 is plus £12.

0:46:000:46:01

Now, will the horsebox bring a profit?

0:46:010:46:03

This'll be interesting.

0:46:030:46:05

We didn't go with it, but we're going to sell it anyway. And here it comes...

0:46:050:46:08

Meccano horsebox. There you are. Nice lot.

0:46:080:46:12

Interest on the book.

0:46:120:46:14

I start at £30.

0:46:140:46:16

Bid five. 35. 40. 40 bid.

0:46:160:46:18

Five. 45. At 45.

0:46:180:46:20

£45. 50. 50 bid.

0:46:200:46:22

Five on the net if you want it. At £50 only. At 50 bid.

0:46:220:46:26

Wait, five. 55. 60 now.

0:46:260:46:27

At £55. There's the bid. Any more at all?

0:46:270:46:31

At £55. And I sell, then, at £55.

0:46:310:46:35

And done. Thank you.

0:46:350:46:37

-£55, then, team. There we are.

-We did the right thing.

0:46:370:46:40

-Minus

-£5. Not so much for the decanter.

0:46:400:46:42

There is but a whisker in all these things, really.

0:46:420:46:46

You happened to select the right one. That is plus £12.

0:46:460:46:49

You were minus 64 before that,

0:46:490:46:50

which means you are now minus 52.

0:46:500:46:54

But you didn't go with the horsebox, and that was the right decision.

0:46:540:46:57

-It was.

-So, there we go.

0:46:570:46:58

Now, the thing is that minus 52 could be a winning score.

0:46:580:47:00

Say nothing to the Reds and all will be revealed in a moment.

0:47:000:47:04

-Well, teams, this has been fun, hasn't it?

-Yeah.

-Has it been fun?

0:47:100:47:14

It has been enormous fun.

0:47:140:47:16

All this artistry for our special programme.

0:47:160:47:18

Marvellous.

0:47:180:47:19

So, there is a chasm between the teams today.

0:47:190:47:22

Quite a big, old chasm.

0:47:220:47:24

And the runners-up, by a huge margin,

0:47:240:47:26

are the Blues, with minus £52.

0:47:260:47:29

Which is bad luck, isn't it? Didn't go your way, really, did it?

0:47:290:47:31

-No, not really.

-Not really.

0:47:310:47:32

-We suspected it wouldn't.

-You did.

0:47:320:47:35

-You did.

-I had such high hopes.

-Did you?

0:47:350:47:37

-I know.

-Hope springs eternal.

0:47:370:47:38

Anyway, you've been great contestants,

0:47:380:47:40

we've loved having you on the show.

0:47:400:47:41

But the victors today

0:47:410:47:43

-are actually going home with folding money, with £27.

-Oh, wow!

0:47:430:47:46

OK?

0:47:460:47:47

There's your £27.

0:47:470:47:49

£25 there, look.

0:47:490:47:50

And a couple of smackers coming up.

0:47:500:47:52

There you go. £27.

0:47:520:47:55

-It wasn't going very well...

-No.

0:47:550:47:57

You got to minus 23.

0:47:570:47:59

It could have been a lot worse,

0:47:590:48:01

when up came Christina with her armillary sphere.

0:48:010:48:05

-That was brilliant.

-£50 of profit. That was good, wasn't it?

-Excellent.

0:48:050:48:08

-Very, very good news. You happy, Jazz?

-Very.

0:48:080:48:11

-You happy, Christina?

-Ecstatic.

0:48:110:48:12

And that is the right answer.

0:48:120:48:14

No, seriously, you've had a lovely time, we've had a lovely time.

0:48:140:48:17

In fact, it's been so lovely,

0:48:170:48:18

why don't you join us soon for some more bargain-hunting?

0:48:180:48:21

-Yes? ALL:
