Wetherby 66 Bargain Hunt

This is Wetherby Racecourse in Yorkshire, where people have

been winning and losing fortunes on the horses for donkey's years.

We're here to flash the cash too, but not on the racing.

NEIGH, NEIGH, I say thrice, NEIGH.

We're here roaming for bargains, so, let's go bargain hunting, yeah!

Our teams today are all ladies and gentlemen of leisure.

Well, of leisure pursuits, actually.

But there's no time to unwind and relax,

because they're all fighting against the clock.

Oh, yes, it's a one-hour special today

and we've changed the rules a bit, because our experts will be

shopping for not one, but two bonus buys to take to auction.

More about that later. For now, here's a look at

what's coming up on today's programme.

The Reds are all of a dither...

Can we keep an eye on it?

Could you put it by for us for half an hour?

But Anita's on a roll.

You guys are wonderful.

What a team!

But will they flounder or fly at the auction?

No, no, no, no, no.

How terrible is that?

Let's find out more, eh?

Both of our teams today like to take it easy and enjoy relaxing pastimes.

The question is, how are they going to get on in the hurly-burly

of Bargain Hunt?

For the Reds, today we have mother and son - Margaret and Steve,

and for the Blues, Keith and Peter.

-Hello, everyone.

-ALL: Hello.

-Now, you as a family adore golf, right?

-Absolutely.

Tell us about the passion.

I started quite a number of years ago, when the boys grew up,

and we just love it, it's really enjoyable. We can do it as a family.

Absolutely adore it, I love it.

-And is it, as much as anything else, a social life?

-Oh, it's great, yeah.

You meet some fabulous people.

And I suppose you have one or two gin and tonics down

-at the clubhouse, do you?

-Yes.

-OK.

-Just a few.

And quite right too, because you need refreshing, don't you,

-after all that walking about?

-Definitely.

-Brilliant.

So, tell me about these two jobs that you have to hold down,

as well as finding time to play the golf.

Well, my main job...

I work at a company, they sell school uniforms into schools.

That's number one job, and my second

-part-time job is at my local supermarket.

-Is it?

-Yes.

-Do you do checkout or shelves?

-I work in the clothing department.

The clothing department, not the special spectacles department?

-Oh, no.

-No, no, no.

We must exchange notes shortly.

-So, Steve, when you're not playing golf you like to go camping?

-Yes.

-Tell us about that.

I've got three boys, who I like to take out to go old-school kind of

camping - no tech, no nothing, just knives and sticks and trees and mud.

-And do you get really messy?

-Yeah.

-And do they get really messy?

-Yeah.

-And do they love it?

-Yeah.

I think, you know, it's back to nature, isn't it? Which is great.

Now, you like to collect a few antiques and stuff like that,

tell us about those.

My house is kind of like a gentleman's club, lots of black,

lots of silver, red leather Chesterfields, those kind of things.

Vintage furniture.

You're a bit of a frustrated interior designer, are you?

A little bit, yeah.

I tend to find things and then I'll change them

-into something that I like.

-Sounds very stylish.

It says here that you're a bit of a shoe addict.

-A little bit, not quite as bad as my mum.

-Really? Are you bad?

-Ridiculously bad.

-Yes, unfortunately.

How many in pairs, Mags?

Um...

-around 200.

-200 pairs of shoes?

-Yeah.

Gosh, were going to have some fun shopping with you today, I tell you.

So, are you going to be up, you two, for driving a few hard bargains?

-Oh, yeah.

-Oh, yes.

-What are you going to be looking for, then?

I'll be looking for silverware, I like my silver.

And possibly some furniture.

Not too big. What about you, Mags?

Me? Ah, well...

-Anything, really, that I like the look of.

-Just grabs you?

-Yes.

Well, it's a lovely fair here at Wetherby, I can tell you.

You'll have plenty of choice. So, more of that in a moment.

-Anyway, chaps, how are you both, all right?

-Fine, thank you.

-Now, Keith, you enjoy going fishing together. Tell us about your fishing.

-Well, we go carp fishing.

Pete likes float fishing.

-But I like sitting down and watching the nature passing by.

-Exactly.

And apart from the fishing, you are a very keen steam train enthusiast.

Yes. Yeah, yeah, love it.

It's the magic of the past, you know,

the pre-'60s, the atmosphere

and all the original noises that the carriages make,

and the wheels make on the tracks. You know, it's absolutely beautiful.

-He's very good, isn't he?

-Yes.

-He could wax lyrical on the subject.

A bit like the movie Brief Encounter, you can

encounter people on these trips, can't you?

-Well, you can, yeah, but...

-Sometimes famous people.

-Absolutely.

-Sometimes famous people who are quite familiar to us.

-Yes, indeed.

By the name of...

Anita Manning. Yes, adorable Anita.

Unlike the brief encounter at Carnforth with Trevor Howard

and Celia Johnson and all the steam, it was just quite...

-Quite a clean encounter?

-Quite clean, yeah.

Well, never mind, because today, especially for you, Keith,

we've got Anita Manning as your expert on the programme.

-That's gorgeous.

-So, you're going to be able to

have another encounter with Anita,

but not on a train platform. How brilliant.

Now, Peter, apart from your interest in fishing and relaxing

out by the water, you're a very creative person, aren't you?

-Well, I'd like to think so.

-Well, that's what it says here, so...

Erm, yeah, I'm a singer-songwriter.

I've got a couple of contracts in America,

-publishing contracts in America.

-Oh, have you?

Just got my first book out, which is doing quite well around the world.

Good for you. So, tell us about what you write. Tell us about the book.

The book is about my dog, called Stan. Stan speaks perfect English.

-Does he?

-Yes, he does.

He uses colourful and industrial language, as young people do.

You know, as a puppy.

The book is written for his first two and a half years.

-He is actually 11 now.

-So, we're standing by for volume two and three...

-Three, four, five.

-Yes, exactly.

-Depends on whether they keep selling...

-So, you say that you are

not only a songwriter, but you're also a singer. Does that mean you've got a song inside you now?

-You're not going to do that me, are you?

-I can do it to you.

Well, I mean, you write the things and you can sing them,

so give us a lungful.

-Well... Could you just...

-Compose yourself!

-My most famous, I suppose,

most famous song around the globe has got to be Rainy Day Lady

and it gets played on the radio quite a lot.

So, I shall give you the first couple of lines of that.

# You're just my Rainy Day Lady

# Can't you feel it in my heart?

# Rainy Day Lady

# You meant nothing from the start... #

-Look at that, that is soulful, man.

-Thank you.

-That is so cool.

Because it's not going to rain today, because it's going to remain very bright and breezy

and hopefully, this bright and breezy through the money moment.

Because here's your £300, £300 apiece.

You know the rules, your experts await and off you go,

and very, very, very good luck.

Cor, he's good, isn't he?

So, that's our teams. Let's say hello to our experts.

Let's hope he bonds as well with the Reds. It's Serrell, Philip Serrell.

-While the Blues have the magical...

-Just like that.

..Anita Manning.

I tell you what, I do love the shoes, they're cool.

Have we got a plan?

-What do you want to buy?

-Fishing stuff sounds good.

-Yeah.

-Possibly some furniture.

-Yep. Anything that takes your fancy.

-Old bits to do with cars, bits to do with boats, Keith?

-Yeah.

So, teams, whether your teeing off or casting off,

your time starts now.

Let's go see what we can find, come on.

-Let's go.

-OK.

So, everything's in place.

You've got the weather, the cash, the time and the expertise.

-So, get stuck in.

-Will we have a wee look in here, guys?

A wee rummage through the boxes.

Have the Blues got a bite already?

Oh. Fishermen, fishermen.

That's a bit big for you to handle, Pete.

-Is that for a shark?

-It looks like it, it looks...

Say you were out in the ocean

-and you were trying to catch a huge, big fish...

-Yeah.

Well, it would be, wouldn't it? That's quite strong, isn't it?

I think that was used on Captain Ahab's boat.

-'Sounds like a red herring to me.'

-So, tell me how it works.

Well, you put that on your rod there and there's a couple of things...

So, you've got a rod there? Oh, you don't just throw that string out?

Method acting for thumbs, push your rod under there

and that goes on there...

They could be a REEL-ly long time,

so let's catch up with the Reds.

There's a cabinet over here that I saw earlier.

Now, this stuff is quite... It's a bit retro.

What do you think of that? This is a... It's basically

a piece of office furniture. It's like an old file cabinet,

I don't know how it works. Oh, there you are, look.

And this would have had adjustable shelves here.

It's not the best quality in the world. It's made out of bits of oak

and some plywood, but this sort of vintagey stuff,

it's quite sought-after.

But it's collectable. Do you like that?

Erm, it's not my usual thing, I'm more of a...

Victorian furniture, but I suppose it's tactile.

-It could be serviceable.

-It's useful.

Take the hint, Phil, they're not keen.

They want £75 for it. I would have thought at auction,

-this is going to make between £50 and £100.

-Can we keep an eye on it?

Yeah, just half an hour.

-In half an hour's time, you'll have to make your mind up.

-Yeah, OK.

Plenty of time and stuff to dig out of the rough.

Blues are still hooked on that spool, though.

Fishing is one of these things people are very keen on

-and I think that that is - technical term - a big cracker.

-Yes, it is.

And mean, I think it's the type of

-thing that the fishing guys would go for.

-Yes. I do.

And I think that there is profit in that if you can get them down.

-What do you think?

-OK, let's have a go.

-With the ticket price of £25.

-Smile nicely.

-Hiya, how you doing? Are you all right?

Can we make you an offer on this, or... Sorry.

-You can try reel me in with a decent offer.

-How about three quid?

-I'm not taking the bait there.

-Would you take 15 quid for it?

-No, I couldn't. I really couldn't.

-Where are you going to be with it?

Erm...

-You could really beat me down and hook me in at about 20.

-20?

-What about 18?

-Couldn't, honestly. I couldn't go to 17.

-Can I make it 19, then?

-No!

'Gosh, he's good.'

-20 quid sounds all right to me.

-All right, yeah.

-Yes, £20 it is.

-Thank you very much indeed. £20.

-I was kippered there, wasn't I?

-Thank you.

-I think you've done well at 20 quid, guys.

-That's a good start.

-That's the catch of the day.

Hey, I do the jokes around here!

Anyway, you've landed your first item in next to no time.

Four minutes, 20 seconds.

First item bought, what a team!

-Would you agree?

-Absolutely. Yeah, yeah.

Blues may be speedy, but Phil's the font of all knowledge.

These are old printing blocks. How are you doing, all right?

Good. Now, then.

How much are these each?

The large £5, the medium are £3, the small are £2.

Right, you got to help me a second. OK, come and help me out a minute.

I know Phil loves lumps of old wood, but this takes the biscuit.

Can I have a B, please?

-Have a B...

-I want a B.

-There's a B.

Now, can I have an A?

Ah, now, there's a hard one.

You sound like a very unlikely cheerleader, Phil,

-'but I see where this one is going.'

-Ah...

-You see where I'm going now?

-I know where you're going.

-You know where I'm going?

-I know where you're going.

This could take a while. Now, Blues are discussing their next move.

-Are you any good in the three-point turns on that?

-Brilliant!

-Are you?

-Absolutely brilliant.

-Does that take two?

Because I'm only a wee girl, I'm only a wee girl.

No easy rides on the show. Or do I have to spell it out?

There's a U. I want a T. Oh, here's a T.

Oh, that's better. That's much better, isn't it?

B - A - R - G - A - I - N

space, H - U - N - T.

What do you reckon to that, Bargain Hunt?

How cool is that?

On a serious note? I think these are good fun, because these are

printing compositors, letter blocks.

I mean, they are collectable in their own way

and I'd love to have bought them all, but they're £100.

But I think the best thing we can do is buy "Bargain Hunt" here,

and then if we can find someone at the auction who is a real fan,

they could take Bargain Hunt home with them, look. Do you like that?

-Yeah, it's quite fun.

-Bit of fun. Cheap fun, isn't it?

-A bit of fun, yeah.

-They are nice.

-I actually used to work with these.

-Well, we've both worked in newspaper.

-Really? Well, that's...

You see, I knew it all the time. I knew it, there's a link there.

-That, to me, looks like it's three quid's worth.

-Oh, I don't think so.

Oh! You've got a dodgy H! No, OK, how much?

-So, if I say it really, really quickly...

-Go on, then.

-I say 45 quid, quick.

-Get out of here. Behave. How much?

-I'll do the whole lot for 30 quid.

-No, no, no, no, no.

They're all little letters.

-They're all little letters.

-Yeah, 15 quid.

-Tenner and it's a deal.

-No, it's too strong.

-Tenner's a deal, isn't it?

-A tenner, yeah.

-12 quid.

-No, no, no, we're doing it democratically. All those in favour

-of

-£10... All the camera crew...

All those in favour...

Cheers, mate, you're a star. Thank you very much.

-OK.

-That's really cool, isn't it? It's Bargain Hunt.

Yes. Well, at least you've put your stamp on things,

and at one item bought apiece, our teams have time on their hands.

Especially those Blues.

-There we are, that's nice, isn't it?

-That's a lovely, clean clock.

Smiths Empire, made in Great Britain, gives it some age.

Glass-fronted, brass and a hardwood back, looks like oak,

stained oak, to me.

Hang on, who's the expert here?

-I wonder what we can get that for.

-Now, I like that clock.

What you've done is describe it there with all that...

You know, it's a nice wooden brass clock. Good, clean face.

Often, when the dial is tired or distressed, it will be redone.

But that's original, that's nice. Do you like that?

It's nice, yeah, yeah.

But, without the key, you don't know if it's working.

-We don't know if it works.

-No.

-We'll have to ask the guy if it works.

See, in that type of clock, nobody can guarantee you,

but what I can say to you, in an older clock, there is

often very little that needs done. I think that's fine.

-That's a nice bit of kit.

-Yeah.

I'm just thinking it would fit on, you know...pub, restaurant,

themed restaurant, boat, private boat.

We're selling in Darlington, an auction in Darlington.

Now, Darlington is famous as a...

Trains, really.

Trains is the main thing, isn't it?

Trains, engineering, that sort of stuff.

So, that's maybe the type of thing that would appeal to the Darlington buyers.

-They've got it up for £180, haven't we?

-Yeah.

-I think £180 is a bit dear.

-A bit steep, yeah, I think it is.

What do you think it will make, roughly, in auction?

-I would estimate it, probably, 80-120.

-80 to...

-So, we don't want to be over 100 with that.

-No.

-No.

Who's going to be good at bargaining between the two of you?

Do you want me to have a go at it? Right, yeah, yeah.

-You'll have to be cruel.

-Yes. Yeah.

-With a smile.

-With a smile, yeah.

-Let me see your lovely smile.

-Smiling assassin!

-That's nice.

If you can get it at somewhere between there, 80 to 120,

I think it's worth going for.

-Good luck, darling.

-OK!

While Keith turns on the charm, the Reds head inside for a quick search.

It's called Tantalus, because it tantalises you. Because you can't actually get at the booze.

I said search, not Scotch.

How did you get on, Keith?

Well, he wanted to stick at the £180,

but I have managed to talk him down to £100.

-£100?

-Wow. That's cheap.

-He's good.

-He's good, yeah.

-He's good.

-Yeah, of course I am.

You're not that good.

Maybe that smiling assassin thing worked.

But the thing is, it's the end of the day, he's packing up...

-I think it's a great deal.

-Yeah.

-You want to go for that?

-Yes.

-I've shook his hand.

-We've already paid!

-It's a done deal. OK.

You guys, I have to say,

you guys are wonderful.

Two items, let's get on to the third one, then, guys.

Second item with a maritime theme.

Meanwhile, the Reds' penchant for shoes emerges.

Can we have a look at your snuff shoe, please?

These used to be really, really sought after

and they've come down a little bit in value.

This is quite a nice one, it's got these little nail heads

hammered in the bottom, which is like pique ware,

and that's just a sign of decoration.

Very often they were given as love tokens,

so they would have had some little names, or initials, really.

Just there and there.

And you just open that up, take a pinch of your snuff out,

put it on there...

I like that, but I think it's going to make between £50 and £80.

That's where I'm at with it.

This gentleman's got £125 off it, so, you know, for you to buy that

-and make a profit... Lovely thing, but...

-Yeah, it's going to...

What's the best you can do on this one?

It would need to be at £90.

I know there is a lot of people do collect them.

-90 is the absolute finish on it?

-It is, really, yeah.

-I have to stand on that.

-Yeah, no, that's fine.

-Could you put it by for us for half an hour?

-Yes.

-Is that all right?

-Yeah, yep.

-You'd rather have that than that file cabinet?

-Definitely go with that rather than the cabinet.

-You prefer that more?

-Keep it by for us for about half an hour. All right?

-OK.

So, we've bought one, we've got one bit put by at 90,

-and then we can just have a look around, can't we?

-Yeah.

-Come on.

You'll be cutting it fine if you do, team.

Cor, living dangerously, eh, Reds?

-One more lot to buy, and what...

-Can I have a look at that over there?

-All right, more boys toys.

-Yeah, more boys toys.

That's the Mamod steam engine. An important thing in this type of item

is to have the original box, in good condition, is a definite plus.

So, maybe from about the '70s, but these are working models,

they're not toys.

Not for kids, they're for big boys, like you.

-Like us, yeah.

-Big boys for you.

And now, you've got various

different models here.

Are there any that you like especially,

-or do you want to play with them all?

-I like them all.

Well, Blues, you might have the luxury of ten minutes

for your third purchase, but those Reds are in search of their second.

Still, every cloud has a silver lining, eh?

So, what you do is look at the piece of silver...

Silver is a really soft metal.

So, this is a christening set, so I think that was the son of Samson

that had that one, because quite what he's done to the end...

Yeah, I was just thinking that. He's eaten it.

But I wouldn't argue with him.

Well, I've heard of being born with a silver spoon in your mouth.

Anyway, having toyed long enough with the steam engine, the Blues now I mean business.

-Ah, the man himself.

-Hello.

-All right?

My boys have been looking at the boys toys.

Can you explain to us about... Which is that box that you told me...?

This is from 1974.

It's got an original box, it's never been fired,

it has the original firebox, the tundish to put the water in.

The steering mechanism,

and that's for the man to stand upon.

It's never... It's immaculate, really.

You've got everything you need.

-It's never been used.

-You've got the original box.

-This is the steam roller.

-And that goes on that? Thank you.

-Well, out of the two, I like the one with the roof on it.

-Yeah.

What's the difference? How much is this one and how much is that one?

-The price is just the same, £140.

-£140?

-Yeah.

-What you think, Keith, do you like it?

-I like that, yeah.

-So, what's the best?

-Come on, the best.

-The best death price.

-How does £120 sound to you?

-100 would sound better.

I'm afraid I wouldn't let it go for that.

I know, I knew you were going to say that.

How about just another tenner off?

Just because it's the last item of the day, come on, let's do it.

-You're one of the boys.

-Yeah, go on.

110.

-Never been robbed by a nicer man.

-Thank you very much. VENDOR: Thank you.

Do you know, I've got an invincible team here. These boys don't need me.

Oh, I don't know, Anita,

who knows what trouble they'd get into without you.

-How much have you spent, boys?

-£230.

Well, that's a respectable amount of money and you've left me

-not too bad dosh to go forward.

-70 quid.

-Uh-huh.

-I think we deserve a nice wee cup of tea.

-Absolutely.

Whilst Blues go for tea, the Reds really need to get a move on.

We're under the cosh here, aren't we? We need to make a decision.

-The shoe...

-Yes.

-We've got to go with the shoe.

-Buy it.

-You like little bits of silver and stuff?

-Mm-hm.

I've just found... And where's the auction?

BOTH: Darlington.

Do you see what this is here, look.

-Darlington.

-1885.

Mrs Eden...

16 Grange Terrace. I think that's a little key fob.

Given that the auction is in Darlington...

That strikes me as we should buy that.

Time and options are running out, Reds.

Now, how much is that, what would you pay for that?

-Not knowing if it's silver or not, it's... 20 quid.

-What would you pay?

-I'd say about 30, 35.

-Well, it's priced at, look...

-15 quid. So, if we could get it for a tenner...

-At least.

-Yeah.

You've got £10 worth of printing blocks, £10 worth of that,

£90 worth of shoe, home and hosed.

Phew.

Well done, Reds. Phil comes to the rescue once again.

Two down, one to go.

Now, have you ever wondered what the experts get up to once

they've finished shopping? Wonder no more.

Oh!

I feel like that woman in Benidorm.

Benidorm, here we come.

-I don't know where the brakes are.

-'Your time will come, Anita.'

-'Phil's Reds are still hard at it, though.'

-So, how much is that?

-Well, it's on at 15.

-So, you've got it for...

-I've got it for 12.

-Shake the man's hand.

-Tough, thank you.

-Well done.

Thank you very much.

Well, you get the kettle on while your team seals

the deal on the snuff box.

Fantastic, thank you.

- Thank you. Thank you. - Best of luck.

The race is over, time's up.

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

At £10, the wooden printing blocks spelled out their first buy

and Bargain Hunt.

They addressed the lack of a second item by buying the key fob ingot.

£12 paid.

And finally, the treen boot-shaped snuff box for £90.

Well, you're a happy team, aren't you? My gosh.

Now, Steve, tell me, which is your favourite piece?

-Erm, the snuff box.

-What about you, Mags?

Erm, I like the little ingot, the little pendant.

Yeah, so that's your favourite?

But that's surely not going to bring the biggest profit, is it?

With what we paid, it is a good possibility, yeah.

I think the Bargain Hunt printing blocks will make the most money.

Do you, do you? OK, fine. That, I think, is a strategic vote.

-Anyway, how much did you spend all round?

-£112.

£112, I'd like 188, please. Leftover lolly. Right, we got a few...

We've got three bits of shrapnel. Great, watch that.

-Anyway, there you go, Phil. That'll warm up your palm.

-Absolutely.

And Steve wanted a proper antique, so I'm going to go and get him

-a latter-day antique, I think.

-Are you?

Well, your options are open, because I'm going to give you Tim's Ton now.

There is another £100, all right? The only thing is,

come back and have a chat with me

in a minute or two, because we can have a little confidential chat and

not tell these guys what we're going to predict

until we get to the auction.

Anyway, good luck with that, Phil.

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

The large wooden fishing reel was netted for £20.

They continued the nautical theme with

the Smiths Empire ship-style clock for £100.

And finally, they splashed out £110 for the Mamod steam tractor.

-Well, chaps, was that good fun?

-Yeah, great. Really enjoyed it.

-Brilliant, Yeah, yeah.

-In very rapid order, I might say.

-No messing.

-So, Pete, which is your favourite piece?

-Gosh...

-I really like the clock.

-You like the clock. Do you agree, Keith?

Erm, yes. Yeah. No, no, I don't. I like the tractor best.

-You like the tractor.

-OK, that's your favourite.

-Is the tractor going to bring the biggest profit?

-I think the reel

-is going to bring in the big profit.

-OK.

-Yeah, I think he's right. I think the reel...

-So, we have agreed on the reel...

Will reel in the best profit. Great.

-And how much did you spend all round?

-£230.

-£230, I'd like £70 of leftover lolly, please.

-Yeah.

You've got that, £70 of leftover lolly, very good, thanks.

That goes straight across to Anita, and in addition,

you're going to get Tim's Ton.

That's for the two bonus buys, double challenge for you today.

-Are you up for this?

-I certainly am, but I have to warn you, boys,

I'm going to buy something completely different.

Oh, stand by for that. Well, if you could pop back in a minute,

when you've found that, we'll have a little confidential chat about it,

and we won't be telling the boys anything whatsoever. OK?

Everybody happy? You bet your life we are, thank you.

So, shopping starts again for our experts,

and with so much cash burning a hole in their pockets,

what will they buy?

-Yeah, we'll do it.

-You're a gentleman,

thank you very much indeed.

Well, Steve wanted an antique...

And for £50, I've got him an antique of tomorrow.

But, what have you done with that Ton?

The dealer's had to go early. Great antiques, are they?

Well, certainly not, but what they will do is sell stock

at a fair like this.

-Well, here we go again, then, Phil.

-Absolutely.

-You've been out, you've done your worst.

-Phew, yes.

You've come back with two modest little jobbies.

First of all, let us have a look at this table, which is

the team's bonus buy. You had £188 of leftover lolly

and you went with this Formica-top table.

Creation, creation.

I've always liked Star Trek and it reminded me of Enterprise.

I can see I've lost you there, Tim.

No, no, you haven't. It's got that kind of um, amoebic shape.

Well, you know what, if you'd told me I'd have been buying

stuff like that 20 years ago, I'd have laughed at you.

But I think that that's quite a funky table.

It's 1960s and I think, I can see some youngster in the saleroom,

or hopefully, two youngsters in the saleroom,

getting hopefully carried away. Quite a funky thing, I think.

I think so, too. But it's sufficiently oddball

to make it an attractive object these days at auction.

That's what I thought. I'm glad you think that.

So, Phil, you're going to have to tell other teams a bit later on what your estimate is on this.

I paid £50 for that and I think it's going to make £60-90.

£60-90 is your estimate. OK, fine. Very good.

Now, what about Tim's Ton? You had £100. You bought these two cabinets.

-Do you rate them?

-Yeah. Well, I don't necessarily rate them

but I think they're very, very commercial.

I think these are probably off a bigger piece of furniture. They're oak. They're 1930s.

I paid £60 for those and I would estimate them at £80-120.

I think you're absolutely right.

And I have to make the invidious decision as to which one to go for.

So I will not surprisingly opt for Tim's Ton on your cupboards.

You shove it on, because it's nearest to you.

If there's any justice, Philip,

you will make the extra profit over Tim's Ton.

But the thing is, do the teams pick the right one? And that's what's so exciting, you see.

-We'll find that out.

-Right. Now, though, why don't we check out

how poor Anita's getting on with buying her bonus buys.

To recap, Anita had £170 leftover lolly,

as well as the £100 given by me for the Tim's Ton buy.

How did she get on?

I like this. It's a little writing set. It's in at £25.

-Is there any movement on that?

-£20.

-This is a deal. This is a deal.

And she's not gone far for her Tim's Ton buy, either.

This is a lovely wee set here. A little 1930s moulded glass set.

I can see that you've got 75 on that.

What is the very best that you can do?

-My very best is 60.

-60? I think we'll take it at that.

-Thank you very, very, very much.

-Thank you.

-Two wonderful things.

-I hope they like them.

-So do I!

Now, how difficult was it for you to shop for these?

It was absolutely easy. I decided to buy things that I liked myself.

Well, that does make it easier, doesn't it?

You had your limitation of cash.

-So for the team's bonus buy, you had £70.

-Aha.

-Tell us about that.

Well, Peter is a songwriter and an author and I thought it would

be nice to buy him something which was writing-related.

And I thought this rather nice Art Deco box set of writing

paraphernalia would be a nice thing. It's from the 1930s.

It's made of plastic, so it's not an expensive thing.

But we have this rather nice decoration with

our little bands here of a darker plastic.

And we have a seal, a little propelling pencil,

-a pen with a 14-carat nib.

-Oh, yeah.

And a little paper knife there.

So it's a lovely wee set from the Art Deco period, 1930s

and it was only £20.

Well, for £20, Anita, I think you've done pretty well.

It's no wonder you liked it yourself.

Now, moving on to Tim's Ton, I give you the £100

and you came up with this heap of glass.

-I mean, this is a whole glassworks here, girl!

-I know.

I mean, I have to say that the boys bought these very sort of

masculine type of things

and I thought that I would quite like to buy something that

was totally different and that might appeal to their feminine sense.

Moulded glass, probably Czechoslovakian.

It's sort of a cheaper form of glass.

It wouldn't have been expensive probably at the time

-but you've got a lot of glass.

-You've got a lot of glass there.

And in this fashionable '30s amber kind of colour.

-OK, so how much did you spend?

-£60.

-£60 for all those pieces?

You know what I have to do now, don't you?

I have to predict which one of these in proportion is going to

make the biggest profit.

I think they're both going to make a profit, actually,

with any justice, but the most profit in relation to the purchase

price has to be - for my eye - your writing set.

So will you bung that on that little clippie on top of that,

so it makes it perfectly clear where I've committed.

Well, we've enjoyed doing that, Anita. Thank you very much.

But right now,

we're heading off to the Geffrye Museum in London's East End.

How lovely.

This may look like a line of almshouses to you.

Well, you'd be right, because it once was a series of almshouses.

Except that in 1914,

the place was knocked about a bit to create a museum.

And a rather interesting one it is, too!

The museum, named after 18th-century benefactor Robert Geffrye,

explores the interior of the home, showing how British fashions

and tastes have changed over the past 400 years.

From the aspirational 20th-century designs, to the

more functional of the 17th century and everything in between.

Now the Victorians loved everything that was fussy and ornate

but in the late 1860s, a movement was spawned that kicked

back at against all those over-sentimental designs that

had occurred before and it was called the Aesthetic Movement.

The Aesthetic Movement became the first

example of the phenomenon that we now call lifestyle.

Householders were guided on how to create an artistic living space

by the leading aesthetic movers and shakers of the time,

based on their writings and art.

And - hey presto - here we have Sabine Pasley's

picture in a complementary room.

Except that the Geffrye Museum have recreated

this Aesthetic Movement room almost as if it's a facsimile of what we've

seen in Pasley's picture. And a jolly good job they've done, too.

Here we've got a fireplace that's got an elaborate mirrored back

and is bedecked in Chinese and Japanese porcelain.

The surround is tiled with Minton blue-and-white tiles.

In the corner, we have a fern that sits on a table.

A table which is exotic in the same way as the Morris & Co bamboo table

in the painting, except that this one probably came from Egypt.

Again, we've got a circular table with a table cover that might

have been used for playing cards.

Except that this table cover is special.

It's bang-on trend for the Aesthetic Movement in the 1880s,

because in 1888, Van Gogh painted his sunflowers -

the sunflowers were the distinctive element of the Aesthetic Movement

and embroidered underneath this tabletop are sunflowers.

And to cap it all, we have a reproduction wallpaper

which circumnavigates the room just underneath the ceiling moulding.

And each element within that border paper has been

interpreted from the Japanese and it was no wonder that this

brand-new design was so hip amongst the Victorians of that period.

The big question today is for us over at the auction -

is it going to be hip - or miss - for our teams?

Well, I can't tell you what a treat it is to trot up the road

from Wetherby to Darlington

to Thomas Watson's saleroom to be with Peter Robinson. Hello, Peter.

Hi, there, Tim. It's good to see you.

Now, to start off with, we've got 12 wooden printing blocks which

they've cleverly spelt Bargain Hunt out of.

Yeah, I mean, I think a collection of printing blocks

in their old box and their case and something like that,

but it seems a little bit odd that you happen to have got these

letters that spell Bargain Hunt, so...

It's a cunning ploy to pull at the heart strings of the fans

of the programme but it's a high-risk strategy, because today

in the saleroom, there may not be many Bargain Hunt fans about, right?

I think there will be plenty of Bargain Hunt fans about,

but what are they going to pay for those wooden numbers?

Will they pay a pound a number for it? That's £12.

Yeah, well - we've put 15-20 down as an estimate.

Well, our lot only paid £10.

So maybe if this strategy works, they might make a pound or

two as profit but it's not going to earn them a fortune,

-that's for a fact.

-Definitely not.

Now, this little ingot, I think is absolutely fascinating

and Philip got very excited about this.

It says, "Mrs Eden, 16 Grange Terrace, Darlington, 1886."

So does this ingot have a special association for you in the town?

Well, Grange Terrace in Darlington is literally just round

the corner and Thomas Watson,

who originally started this business in 1840 in these very same

premises we are in now - he actually lived in number 4 Grange Terrace.

And he lived there until he died in 1883.

So the chances are that Thomas Watson

and Mrs Eden had the odd chat across the garden fence.

Whether it's valuable or not I don't know but it's certainly

sparked my interest in the history of Thomas Watson's auctioneers.

Exactly. What's it going to be worth? A pound or two, or five?

Well, we've put £15-20 on it.

We tried to steer away from a pound or two.

-I just really don't know but it's just a charming...

-Yeah.

-..collectable.

-Well, this is the place to sell it.

So fun to see what that brings and their last item,

-I fear they've overpaid on, which is the shoe snuffbox.

-Snuffbox. Yeah.

Early 19th century, probably, but it's had some use.

It's a little bit worse for wear. So you know, we're 30-50 on this.

OK, fine. Well, they paid £90 and I'm with you.

-I think 30-50 is the right estimate for that one.

-Yeah, yeah.

They just got a bit carried away, actually.

On the face of it, it looks as though they're definitely

going to need their bonus buy. So let's go and have a look.

-Good. Well, this is exciting, isn't it, Mags?

-Yes.

First up, Phil, you had £188 of leftover lolly. What did you buy?

-It looks like the Enterprise or something!

-It does!

Well!

Let's just pop it down properly here

so you can see the beauty of it.

Yeah, actually, I do quite like it. It's very um...

You've got to think Mary Quant, Beatles, Carnaby Street.

-Actually, I was going to say, very

-'60s. It cost me 50... It cost me £50.

-Right.

And I think there's no middle ground with this.

It's either going to make £80-90, or 30 quid.

But what does auctioneer Peter think about Phil's table?

Now I have a funny feeling that's right up your street, somehow.

Oh, how did you guess, Tim, how did you guess? Yeah! I'm not very confident.

-You're not? To be quite honest.

-No.

It isn't a cutting edge of Darlington taste, perhaps.

I don't think so but then, you know, times go by.

People like different things, I might be wrong.

So, what's your estimate on the '60s table?

Well, we've put a, what I think is quite bold, estimate of £30 to £40.

OK. Well, Phil paid £50.

And on this programme I have to make a selection between the bonus buys

as to which one I think in proportion to the price paid

will bring the biggest profit.

-Mm-hm.

-And I did not go with the 1960s table.

-No.

'Now, what will the team make of their Tim's Ton buy?'

These cost £60.

And they aren't a piece of furniture in their own right.

-These have come from either side of a big cabinet.

-Yeah.

A much, much bigger cabinet

that's made out of oak in about the 1920s or '30s.

These have a function and I don't think there's any... Personally,

I don't think there's anyway that these won't make a profit.

I think they'll make between £80 and £120, that's what I think.

Could use it for my earrings and...

Your collection of glasses, perhaps? Yeah. Very nice.

OK, so, there's a difficult choice there, isn't there? In a minute,

when you do have to decide whether you're going to go with one or other

of these bonus buys because they are poles apart in terms of style.

'What's Peter got to say about Phil's cabinets?'

Well, they... They're nice quality. They're very solid small cabinets.

They've got mirror backs to them and space for a single shelf.

-Solid pieces of oak and I would say, yes, from the 1930s.

-Mm-hm.

What would your estimate be, Peter?

Well, we've put 60 to 120, which is a wide berth

because...not sure what the interest will be.

-But construction in them alone, the quality...

-Yeah.

Anyway, you're saying 60 to 120,

well, that's marvellous cos he paid the £60, I made the selection

that they're going to bring more profit than that 1960s table.

So, this could be a win-win situation,

I could get my reputation back!

-You could indeed!

-On the other hand...

-..as we know, things could go badly! But not today, hey?

-No. Not today.

-Let's be positive!

-Not today.

-Anyway, enough of that.

That's it, the Reds are done, and now for the Blues.

What a tableful they've got.

For a kick-off, it's the large fishing reel.

I mean, that is a large... As big a fishing reel as I've ever seen.

Exactly. And if you go down to Cornwall you get them

-on those old boats that go out catching mackerel.

-Yeah?

And they'll have maybe 50 hooks attached to a long line like that...

-Yeah.

-..stick it out the side of the boat.

Wait ten minutes and then they catch 50 mackerel.

-Then they reel them in.

-Reel them all in.

-Easy as that, hey?

-It's as easy as that.

-Wow. Fantastic.

Fantastic. So, what's the reel worth?

Er, well, we've put £20 to £40 on it.

-It's a nice big piece of mahogany.

-Exactly. OK, £20 paid.

So, that should be a sure-fire winner.

Next, is the Smiths bulkhead timepiece.

It's a sort of boating related timepiece...

Oh, yeah, yeah, definitely.

Yeah. It's a Smiths one, secondary dial for seconds.

Cylindrical brass case. Typical ship's clock. Not an early one.

It doesn't have the name of the ship on it so, you know,

we're lacking interest in that way, but it's a clock...

But if you just want one for the kitchen it's rather a stylish...

-Yeah, absolutely.

-Exactly.

-The estimate is £30 to £50.

-Oh, dear.

-Oh, dear?

-I had a horrible feeling you were going to say that.

They paid £100 for this.

-PETER INHALES SHARPLY

-That's quite rich.

Well, if you thought you got off the hook,

you have to move forward now with the times.

Into the Mamod 1972 unused Showmans live steam engine.

Yep. Yeah, I mean, the condition is great, the box is still here.

The booklets and all the pieces. It's in great condition.

I mean, toy collectors, bit of online interest...

Where might we get to with this, do you think?

Well, we've got an estimate of 40 to 60 on it.

Just not sure how well the condition and the box etc,

is going to carry it...

Well, it needs to carry it quite a lot because they paid £110.

-Did they really?

-They did.

-Oh, wow.

-£110 is quite brave, isn't it?

-It is brave.

-Yeah. And it's very, very, very, very risky.

In which case, they're definitely going to need their bonus buy,

so, let's go and have a look at it.

-Oh.

-Ooh!

-Ooh, now then.

I bought you a nice little Art Deco writing set.

The handles are made of plastic but don't let that put you off

because we have this lovely geometric pattern.

It's very, very stylish.

And you guys are a pair of stylish guys,

-so, I thought you might like that.

-THEY LAUGH

-Can I have a look?

-Yeah. So, what do you think?

-Well, I like it. Keith, it's your decision.

-Yeah.

When you say Art Deco, about what date is it?

-Date, probably 1930s, 1940s.

-Mm-hm.

-64,000 question...

-Are you dying to ask?

-How much?

-£20.

-Oh, right.

-So, it was a good £20 worth.

Will you double your money, do you think? You might do, mightn't you?

Erm... We could do, on a good day. It certainly deserves, er,

£25 to £30. OK.

But I'm not going to push myself any further than that.

'So, for the viewers at home,

'let's see what the auctioneer thinks about Anita's pen set.'

Now, Anita's gone out and got one of her favourites.

A little 1930s desk set. Looks like onyx, but actually it's plastic.

-Yep, yep.

-But it is complete, isn't it...

-It is complete.

-..and in good nick?

-Yeah. Little used, if at all.

The pen nib is still there, as you can see. The seal, letter opener...

-It's a nice lot.

-It's the team's bonus buy.

She had £70 of leftover lolly to spend.

How much do you think that set's going to bring?

-Well, we've put 20 to 30 on it.

-OK.

Don't worry a scrap, she only paid £20 of her £70

-of leftover lolly because she's jolly canny, that girl.

-Yeah.

Cos I think at £20 you're going to turn...

You're going to turn that into £40, I think.

-That's my suspicion, and my hope, and my fervent call to arms.

-Right.

-No pressure.

-No pressure, no.

'That's the bonus buy. Now, for the Tim's Ton buy.

'Let's see what the team thinks, hey.'

-Anita, tell us about it.

-SHE LAUGHS

Well, I'm still in the Art Deco period,

and it's a period that I personally like very much.

And I thought two good-looking blokes like yourself might fancy

a pair of good-looking birds.

Take a bird, then, Pete.

-See what you make of them.

-This is a dressing table set.

It's European, perhaps Czechoslovakian, um,

moulded glass, in this lovely amber colour.

And I paid £60.

OK, chaps. Two bonus buys to consider.

You don't pick until after the sale of the first three items,

and you don't have to then pick either of them,

if you don't want to.

'What does the auctioneer think about Anita's glass trinket set?'

This is Tim's Ton coming up, look.

Which is a pretty standard

moulded amber glass...

..dressing table set.

Couple of candlesticks.

Couple of pots for your pins and bits and bobs.

How do you rate it, Peter?

Well, for trinket sets it's quite a nice one, I think.

You know, it's strong Art Deco, the figure candlesticks are very nice.

The frosted decoration in the tray.

-It's a good example for an amber glass trinket set.

-Mm-hm?

Sort of, little bits and pieces, though, don't you think?

-A bit bitty, or...?

-Well, well, it is, but that is a trinket set.

-OK.

-So, how much then, for the whole set?

-Well, we've put 30 to 60 on it.

Did you? Well, she paid 60.

So, on the basis of the estimate,

she is not going to make anything like the proportion of profit

that I've predicted on her Art Deco pen and letter opening set.

-So, we should be in the right. You taking the sale today?

-Indeed, Tim.

-Yep, can't wait.

-Great. We're in safe hands. Thanks, Peter.

MUSIC: No Place I'd Rather Be by Clean Bandit

-Now, Margaret, Steve... Ha-ha, how are you feeling?

-Er...

-Nervous!

-Nervous, yeah!

-Are you?

-Yeah.

Anything in particular you brought that you're worried about, Mags?

-Um... One item, we're a little bit, sort of, concerned about.

-Snuff box.

The snuff box. The snuff boot.

I have to say the auctioneer did not think so much of it.

He put £30 to £50 on it.

But you have got two bonus buys to fall back on today.

And that's kind of handy - well, it may be.

Anyway, first up are the spelling blocks, and here they come.

Wooden printing blocks that, by coincidence, spell Bargain Hunt.

TIM LAUGHS

So, there we go!

So, let's have £10 to start me off on. At £10...

15, can I say?

At £10 bid, at £10...

15, can I say for them? 15, thank you, sir.

At £15. 20 anywhere else?

At £15, they're going to be sold in the seating

in the middle of the room at £15 for the lot.

Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Um...

Plus £5, that's good.

Now, this little ingot...

Interesting little lot there, the address key ingot

for Grange Terrace, Darlington, 1885, just round the corner.

Would be a residential house, years ago. And £10 to start me. £10.

-£15 for it, a little bit of local history.

-Come on, it's local!

At £10... 15, 20.

25.

At £20, gentleman seated on my right, at £20. 25 anywhere for it?

At £20, then, it's going to be sold to my right at £20 only.

Well done, Phil, that's another plus £8.

There you go, you're getting on here. That's plus 13.

-Ah, this is the one.

-Now... The old boot.

At £20.

At £20. 25, 30, 35.

At 40, 5, 50, 45. At £45.

50, can I say?

50, 5. 60, 5. 70.

At 65, your bid, madam. 70, new bidder.

At £70 I'm bid. At £70. At £70... 75, can I say anywhere?

At £70, gentleman right in the doorway. 75 anywhere?

Shaking our heads. Goes to the gentleman at £70.

-GAVEL BANGS

-£70.

Bad luck, I can't bear it. That's minus £20.

-Were plus 13, you're now minus seven.

-Oh!

-Which is tough, actually.

-Really tough to take. The rollercoaster of life, hey?

-Yep.

-Yeah.

-Anyway, now, the bonus buys.

-You've got the melamine-finished '60s drinks table.

-Yeah.

Or, you've got the two display cases. Or, nothing.

-We're going to go with the display...

-Cabinets.

-..cabinets.

-You've decided this, have you?

-We like both.

-We like them both.

-We were torn. Pity we can't have both.

-OK.

So, you're going to go with Tim's Ton.

Tim's Ton cost Phil £60, yes? You've made that decision now.

That will be your chosen bonus buy.

I can tell you that the auctioneer's estimate is £60 to £120 on that lot.

-Oh, right, OK.

-So, on the basis of the estimate,

you seem to have made the right decision.

We will sell, though, first the 1960s retro table

which Phil paid £50 for.

And if it makes a profit, that profit will go to charity.

-Fantastic.

-Anyway, first up will be the team's bonus buy.

The retro table and here it comes.

£10 to start. At £10, 15.

15, 20.

At £15. 20, 25.

30. £25, the lady at the back standing.

At £25, for the retro coffee table... 30, 35.

40, thank you. 45.

50, make it.

Nope? 45, then, the lady in front of me for £45, being sold at £45.

Very close, Phil. Minus £5. Now, the chosen bonus buy, Tim's Ton.

Here they come, the display cases.

£40 to start. At £40 for the pair.

At £40 ... 45, can I say for the pair? 45.

50, 5. 60.

At £60, commission bid. At £60.

65, anywhere?

-At £60. Going to be sold...

-Come on!

..at £60. 65, thank you.

At £60, the lady's bid, the commission's out, at £65,

being sold at £65.

At £65. Well done, Phil. That is a profit of £5.

That is £5 profit.

You were minus £7 which means you are now minus £2!

How terrible is that?! But, yet, it's rather wonderful, isn't it?

-Yes.

-Anyway.

-Could have been worse.

-Yeah, could have been worse.

-Could have been a lot worse.

-Actually, those cabinets,

there's a lot of money still in those cabinets, isn't there?

Anyway, not their day, I'm afraid but overall, then, minus £2.

It's as close as you could be to a sheet of Bronco.

In which case, don't say a word to the Blues, all right?

And all will be revealed in a moment. Okey-doke.

Thank you very much.

MUSIC: Locked Out Of Heaven by Bruno Mars

-Now, Keith, Peter. This is exciting, isn't it?

-Yes, absolutely!

-Do you know how the Reds got on?

-Riveting!

-No, no idea.

But you've got the double bonus buy to fall back on, which is good.

First up, though, is your fishing reel.

You paid £20, and the auctioneer's never seen such a big one.

LAUGHTER

And here it comes.

£15 to start me off. At £15.

20 I'm bid. At £20, the fishing reel.

At £20. 25, can I say?

-At £20... 25, 30. 35...

-Keep going, keep going.

At £30 for the lot, now. 35 anywhere?

Being sold at £30 for the lot.

£30 for the lot, plus £10, it's nothing to be sniffed at, there.

Good start, boys.

-PETER:

-A brass ship's clock. Lot number 361.

£20 to start for the clock.

5, I have. £25, 30 now.

30, 5, 40, 5...

Come on, it's worth more than that.

..50, 5, 60... £55 in the front row.

No, no, no, no.

At £55, ship's clock at £55 in the front row.

At £55... 60, 5, 70...

Sure? £65, front row.

-Eurgh!

-So that's minus 35. You had ten before, you're minus 25.

Minus 25.

Mamod steam tractor, there, with its box.

Original box.

Lot of bids, but they're all at the same price and I'm opening at £40.

-Oh, dear.

-Oh.

45, can I say? Mint condition.

At £40. At £40. 45, surely, now?

45, I'm bid. 50 bid.

55. At £50, going to be sold...

-Think we should've gone fishing.

-Yeah.

Being sold at... 55, second row. £55, 60 anywhere?

At £55 in the second row. At £55.

£55, oh, no. It loses you £55.

That is minus £80.

Minus 80. Don't sound too bad if you say it quick.

Anyway, minus £80. So, what are we going to do about these bonus buys?

You don't have to do it with either of them,

if you believe that £80 will win you the competition.

If you don't, you can go with one or the other.

And that might be the Deco desk set, £20 that cost.

Or the trinket set for £60.

-Or neither.

-Er, we...

After great discussion, I've decided on the...

-..dressing table set.

-Have you?

-Yes. OK.

-Oh. Don't look like that.

No, no. You've got to start somewhere, haven't you?

I mean, it's the judgment of, I don't know who, um,

because how can you possibly say which is going to do best?

It's very, very tough.

-So, that's going to be it, is it?

-Yeah.

-Yep.

-£60 worth.

-That's our decision.

-£60. That's where the investment sits.

Very good.

The first lot to come up is the desk set, and we're going

to sell that anyway, and if it makes a profit that goes to charity.

-So, Anita's efforts are not wasted.

-Right.

If it makes a profit it's not a waste of time.

Here it comes, the Deco desk set, for £20. Here we go.

£15 to start. At £15 for the Art Deco pen set.

20 upstairs in the balcony. 25, I'm bid. 30 now. At £25.

30 anywhere for it? As new condition.

At £25, all finished, at £25 all down.

Thank you very much. That's plus £5. No trouble at all.

Bit of profit for the charity, well done.

Now, this is the one that you've gone with. This is Tim's Ton.

£60 paid.

£30 to start. £30 I have.

At £30. 35, can we say? 35 I'm bid.

40, 5, 50, 5...

-At £50 with me...

-Oh.

-At 60? At £60 bid.

-Come on, you can do better than that.

-ANITA:

-One more.

-One more.

£60 for the set.

Being sold at £60. All down.

He sold it at £60. Wiped its face. No profit, no loss.

No pain, no gain. You are still minus £80, OK?

-Thank you very much.

-Which could be a winning score.

Don't say a word to the Reds till we get together,

-and all will be revealed.

-OK. Right.

You've been a champion couple of sports.

We don't want to tell anybody!

MUSIC: Kids by MGMT

-Well, teams, this is exciting, isn't it? We had a great day?

-Absolutely!

For our one-hour special programme.

Instead of being able to report enormous profits,

I'm sorry to say that neither of the teams today

-are going home with any profit.

-LAUGHING AND GROANING

-Oh, well!

-But there is a chasm between them

in terms of their losses.

And the team which is way, way back, I have to say, are the Blues.

-ALL:

-Aw!

-LAUGHTER

Minus £80 is your total at the end of the day.

One good point, though, is that one of the bonus buys that you rejected,

but expertly found by Anita, did make a profit - £5 -

which we shall be donating to charity. So, thank you for that.

-But have you had a nice time, Keith?

-Absolutely gorgeous.

It's been amazing, hasn't it?

We started off well with that £10 fishing reel,

your themed product, you fishermen.

-And, then, it all went off the hook.

-LAUGHTER

-Yeah!

-Literally downstream. Anyway, as long as you've had a nice time.

And you've been very sporting about this, as I would expect.

Anyway, thank you very much.

-But the victors today, who managed to lose only

-£2. Ah!

You had a couple of swift profits, little profits on

the printing block jobbies for Bargain Hunt,

and that key ingot job which was fun.

-Yeah.

-Then it started to go slightly wrong, actually.

Until you got to the bonus buy.

And actually those cases did make a profit, they made a £5 profit,

but not enough to drag you back from the brink.

-Just a little more.

-Just a little more.

Well, let that be your motto for next time.

-But Mags, have you enjoyed it?

-Absolutely wonderful.

-We've loved having you. Steve, it's been good?

-Fantastic.

Very good. Well, join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?

-ALL:

-Yes!
