0:00:08 > 0:00:11Here we are again in Oswestry.
0:00:11 > 0:00:15Just a few wee miles from the Welsh border.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19And on today's special one hour long programme,
0:00:19 > 0:00:23we've tweaked the rules a bit! We've taken a bit of a chance.
0:00:23 > 0:00:27But whenever you take a chance, you take a risk.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30And when you take a risk on this programme, you know you're safe,
0:00:30 > 0:00:32because I'm still at the helm!
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Everything will be all right. You're in safe hands!
0:00:35 > 0:00:38And if you believe that, frankly, you'll believe anything!
0:00:38 > 0:00:42So, let's go bargain hunting! Yeah!
0:01:08 > 0:01:13Today, I'm asking the experts to find not one, but two bonus buys.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Which they'll then show me, I'll give them an opinion,
0:01:16 > 0:01:20but will the teams decide to take one or the other, or none?
0:01:20 > 0:01:23And who will be right and who will be wrong?
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Oh, what excitement!
0:01:25 > 0:01:29Let's see what's going to keep you spellbound.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32The Reds call on special potions to bring them luck...
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Can we neutralise this item?
0:01:35 > 0:01:38THEY LAUGH
0:01:38 > 0:01:42And the Blues also put mystic magic into the mix...
0:01:42 > 0:01:45You're stirring good energy into everything you do,
0:01:45 > 0:01:49- so that's what you do when you're mixing the pot, you see.- Ah! Right.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53- And what about spells?- I could turn you into a frog, if you like!
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Let's go meet the teams.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01On today's show we've got two teams of pagans,
0:02:01 > 0:02:04which has to be a first on Bargain Hunt!
0:02:04 > 0:02:06For the Reds, we've got Tricia and Lindsay.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09And for the Blues, we've got Theresa and Julian. Hello, everyone.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11- ALL: Hello!- Hello, hello, hello.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15- Tricia, you are what is called a black witch, right?- I am, yes.- Yes.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Tell us what a black witch is?
0:02:17 > 0:02:22- I do spells for people.- Well, you do a bit of, you know, wing of bat
0:02:22 > 0:02:25and claw of something or other, boil it up?
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Well, I would cast a spell on a night of a full moon.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31I would get the appropriate herbs and potions ready
0:02:31 > 0:02:33and I would cast that on the night of a full moon.
0:02:33 > 0:02:38- Mainly your stuff is love, career and health, right?- It is, yes.- Yeah.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40- Yes.- Which is handy, really.
0:02:40 > 0:02:45- You're like the walking NHS, really, aren't you?- I can be!- You can be!
0:02:45 > 0:02:48How lovely is that? Tell us about your readings.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52My readings, I've been doing the tarot for about 23 years.
0:02:52 > 0:02:57All sorts of people come from all walks of life, male, female,
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- young and old.- And what about the pet bereavement business?
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Yeah, I qualified as a pet bereavement counsellor last year.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07- And I do that as well. - So, how does that all work out?
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Well, it's just counselling people who are grieving over
0:03:10 > 0:03:12- the loss of an animal.- Oh, I see.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15I just thought there was a bit of a grey area there.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19So it's something that I was interested in and thought
0:03:19 > 0:03:20I could help and assist people with.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Lindsay, it says here you're called a white witch?
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- I'm called a white witch, yeah. - What's the training for a white witch, then?
0:03:26 > 0:03:28I don't know if there is any training.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32I haven't done any training. It's a bit of a calling, I think.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Something that I've always liked since I was a little girl.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39You know, mystical, positive crystals, energies, love.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Do you know anything much about the tarot, too?
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- I've got some tarot cards. They're called Oracle cards.- Yes?
0:03:45 > 0:03:49And I like to do this for my friends and my family, and for myself.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52OK, girls, I think you've been brilliant sports.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53Thank you very much.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Now, moving on. You were married by two witches, Theresa?
0:03:56 > 0:04:00- Yes, two wonderful wise women. - And where were you married?
0:04:00 > 0:04:04In a wood clearing in Cirencester.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- Is that where a lot of people go to get married?- I don't think so.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09- Oh, you don't?- It was deep, deep in the wood.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- Now, you like a bit of drama, don't you, Theresa?- I do indeed, yes.
0:04:12 > 0:04:13Tell us about that.
0:04:13 > 0:04:19Well, I'm into amateur dramatics and this year we did Summer Holiday.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21- Did you?- Yes. And last year I did Titanic.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24And what about Cliff Richard, then? Do you like all those numbers?
0:04:24 > 0:04:28- Yes, yes. But I kind of play the comic parts.- Oh, do you?
0:04:28 > 0:04:32- Yes, the walk-on comic parts. - I bet you're jolly good.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Now, Julian, you're all about keeping traditions alive, right?
0:04:35 > 0:04:37- Yes.- And when you got married,
0:04:37 > 0:04:41- you had this hand-fasting ceremony in the woodland?- That's right.
0:04:41 > 0:04:42And what is hand-fasting?
0:04:42 > 0:04:46Well, a cord which is the length of the combined height of you
0:04:46 > 0:04:50and your partner is used to bind you together through the whole ceremony.
0:04:50 > 0:04:51And that's where the term when somebody's
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- "got the measure of you" comes from. - Oh, is it really?- Yes.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56And the term "tying the knot" obviously comes from,
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- you know, being bound together. - So, you do a bit of woodworking yourself?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Basically, I like to keep old traditions alive
0:05:01 > 0:05:03and old skills that are sadly, you know,
0:05:03 > 0:05:06going and being replaced by the use of power tools and such.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08So I collect and restore old tools
0:05:08 > 0:05:13- and use old methods like pole lathe turning.- Tell us what you make.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- I make rustic furniture. - Rustic furniture?
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Yes, it's a bit more, you know, rough and ready
0:05:18 > 0:05:20kind of furniture, if you like!
0:05:20 > 0:05:22What else do you do, apart from your woodworking?
0:05:22 > 0:05:26Well, my other job is I work in an X-ray department of the hospital.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30My job involves sending and receiving images, MRI scans,
0:05:30 > 0:05:33CT scans, that sort, to other trusts around the country
0:05:33 > 0:05:36and to other hospitals around the world.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Now, you're going to be looking for objects with natural beauty,
0:05:39 > 0:05:44- I guess?- Yes, that's right. - Do you know anything about antiques?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- A little bit.- Do you? - A little bit.- Oh, good.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48- Been watching the show a bit? - Oh, yes!
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Ah, you'll be all right then, I tell you!
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Now, £300 apiece, here we go, look. £300.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57You know the rules, your experts await and off you go!
0:05:57 > 0:05:59And very, very, very, very good luck!
0:05:59 > 0:06:00Harry Potter, eat your heart out.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03I think it's going to be an interesting one today.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Let's meet the experts.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10Will his luck rub off? It's Jonathan Pratt for the Reds.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14And hoping things will reflect well on him
0:06:14 > 0:06:15with the Blues is David Harper.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21And don't forget the experts will be really up against it today,
0:06:21 > 0:06:24as they will have to find not one but two bonus buys
0:06:24 > 0:06:27and I will be telling them, but not the contestants,
0:06:27 > 0:06:30which one I think will make the most profit at auction.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32There's a lot to do, so let's get going.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35What are you ladies interested in?
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- Anything goes today. - Anything that jumps out.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42- Why?- No plans, just spur of the moment.- This is very...
0:06:42 > 0:06:46- Is there a mystery? - I'm going on the energy.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50- What I'm feeling from the item. - Energy? I need some energy.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54- I'm going with the energy of an item. - There's no plan.- Anything goes.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57From psychic energy to a more firmly rooted kind.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59So am I currently hugging a tree?
0:06:59 > 0:07:01- Of course!- What am I getting from it?
0:07:01 > 0:07:05- Positive energy!- Yes. Is it good luck as well?- Indeed.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07And do we need good luck on Bargain Hunt?
0:07:07 > 0:07:08- Yes!- Definitely.- We do!
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Let's get as much as we can. Quick! Tree hug.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Charge up and off we go, 60 minutes bargain hunting, come on.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20These are quite good. I'll just point something out here.
0:07:20 > 0:07:25- This sort of thing's quite popular now.- Oh, right.- It's Bakelite.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29It's sort of a 1930s... You know more than me.
0:07:29 > 0:07:35It's a market which is very new, I suppose you could say.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Although it's been made back in the '30s and '40s,
0:07:38 > 0:07:40it's becoming more collectible now.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42I'm only saying that because it's just a different thing.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Just something to think about.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- This lady is... Can I describe you as a medium?- No.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49How do I describe you?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51- Just...- Er...
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- Witch.- Urgh!
0:07:53 > 0:07:58OK. So she's done a reading and the item's going to jump out at her.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00I've not done my shopping this way before.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03I happen to be the seventh child of the seventh child
0:08:03 > 0:08:06and I have very strong extra-sensory perception,
0:08:06 > 0:08:08very similar to what you will have.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11We may have an affinity to something.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Just home in on one of the brooches there.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Whoa-a-a! That's spooky.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Those Blues are bewitched by wood.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25They've spotted something straightaway.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28OK, talk to me, Theresa. Why do you like them?
0:08:28 > 0:08:32Well, I think they look really old and it looks really well carved.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34- Yep.- They're oak, aren't they?
0:08:34 > 0:08:36First of all, they are definitely oak.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38How do you know that they're oak?
0:08:38 > 0:08:40You can tell by the grain on the back, actually,
0:08:40 > 0:08:42more so than the front.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46There you go. That is the telltale sign of oak.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49I always describe that as looking like it's got fossils in it.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50It's very simple, isn't it?
0:08:50 > 0:08:52When you're teaching someone about oak,
0:08:52 > 0:08:54it looks like there's fossilisation in there
0:08:54 > 0:08:56and it's cut quarter across the grain.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- You'll understand this, Julian. - Yeah, the raise.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Yeah, so you get the raise coming through, even on the back.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05OK, so we've got a hunting scene.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09Yeah, to be honest, that's the only thing that puts me off it, David.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11- What's that?- Hunting.- Oh, right!
0:09:11 > 0:09:15- Yeah, I liked it until I got close up.- OK.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Is that a big problem for you?
0:09:17 > 0:09:22- It is a bit, to be honest.- Is it? - Yeah, it is a bit. The one next to it
0:09:22 > 0:09:23is less hunt-y.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26No, actually, Theresa, can I just show you something?
0:09:26 > 0:09:30- I think it's even more hunt-y. - Is it?- Are you ready to be shocked?
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- SHE GASPS - I think we have a boar...- Oh, no!
0:09:33 > 0:09:36..with some dogs. Maybe the dogs are just tickling it.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39It's not what I thought it was when I first looked.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Would that put you off completely buying it?
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Would it really, the pair of you?
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- Cos I really like that.- Do you? - We're both vegetarians.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Whoops, try again, David.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54TRIBAL MUSIC
0:09:54 > 0:09:58Meanwhile, the Reds have also found something made of wood.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01These tribal sticks.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Have you seen anything like that before?
0:10:03 > 0:10:05At auctioneers, we do see them from time to time.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09The market's strongest for the most decorative and the oldest stuff.
0:10:09 > 0:10:14Although history and value is determined by their rarity,
0:10:14 > 0:10:16they're almost bought as modern art.
0:10:16 > 0:10:21Often, these works of art come from French-speaking African countries
0:10:21 > 0:10:24and the market is very strong in France and elsewhere,
0:10:24 > 0:10:27but they buy it, actually, as modern art more than anything else,
0:10:27 > 0:10:28to display.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- Would you say they go well? - I'd find it difficult at auction.
0:10:31 > 0:10:32OK.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35They're sticking the sticks and continuing the hunt.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Oh, yeah, that's interesting.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- What do you think of that, David? - What do you think about that?
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Well, I don't know.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51It's quite interesting. It looks like a cooking implement.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53It certainly looks that way, doesn't it?
0:10:53 > 0:10:55I think it's a bit like a pressure cooker.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Like a steamer. Made in Portugal.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01"Made in Portugal" certainly means it's after the First World War,
0:11:01 > 0:11:05because the "Made in" bit was added to the "Portugal" bit
0:11:05 > 0:11:09after the end of the First World War, so it's after 1920-ish,
0:11:09 > 0:11:11it's not very heavy.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13It doesn't look great inside, does it?
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- No, it doesn't.- It looks better outside than it does inside.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18It does, yeah.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21I don't think it's one for me. What about for you?
0:11:21 > 0:11:23I think, from a distance, it looked fantastic.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- Well, a lot of people do, don't they?- Yes!
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Now, now, David.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Looks like the Reds have found something rather familiar.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Headband, headband.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Bow, even on the same side.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42- Is that the only side you wear it? I don't know!- Yes.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- Hair's the same, pretty much.- Yes.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48- I was just drawn to it. - It's you!- Yeah.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52- And what does it say on the back? - "Little Angel."- "Little Angel."
0:11:52 > 0:11:54There we are. It's fate.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58It's a little scent bottle. This is basically plastic, I suppose.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02And a glass bottom.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Yeah, not exactly an antique, is it?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07What are they thinking?
0:12:07 > 0:12:09It's kind of fun.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12It's not what I would choose. It's your game and your choice.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17The ladies like this "Little Angel" scent bottle, is it, I guess?
0:12:17 > 0:12:19I can do that for £3.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21- You like it?- Yes.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Then at the very least, you'll make a couple of quid out of it.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- Somebody will like that.- Goodness sake.- Somebody will like that.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30I reckon go for that for £3, get it in the bag, one done,
0:12:30 > 0:12:35- thank you very much.- OK, so, we're definitely having this item.- Yeah.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39So I'm going to just neutralise this to clear the energy
0:12:39 > 0:12:42that's already on it and just give it a fresh start,
0:12:42 > 0:12:46ready before it goes to the sale. SPOOKY MUSIC
0:12:46 > 0:12:50- What is that stuff?- That's it. - What is it?- It's witches' salt.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51Right.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54So it's just to neutralise the energy field on the item,
0:12:54 > 0:12:57because the item will have had many previous owners
0:12:57 > 0:13:00and it's come from a different location,
0:13:00 > 0:13:02so that's just to give it a fresh start
0:13:02 > 0:13:05for when we try to get a good sale.
0:13:05 > 0:13:06Why not?
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Take hold of that and yes, I think...
0:13:09 > 0:13:11You don't want to try and haggle, it's pointless, isn't it?
0:13:11 > 0:13:13£3 is fine, thank you.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Well, each to their own,
0:13:15 > 0:13:20but, hey, for £3, there's no denying three's a magic number.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Meanwhile, the Blues have their eyes on a jacket.
0:13:23 > 0:13:24Will it fit the bill?
0:13:24 > 0:13:26- That's a good-quality jacket.- It is.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28We know we've got the brand and the cloth itself,
0:13:28 > 0:13:30how would you describe that?
0:13:30 > 0:13:32It's pure wool. It's 100% pure wool.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36- Sometimes people would bring up why the patterns are like they are.- Yep.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40If you think of the environment that they would have been worn in,
0:13:40 > 0:13:43a lot of people would wear them to match into the environment,
0:13:43 > 0:13:45so often they'll reflect the colour of heathers
0:13:45 > 0:13:46and the different seasons,
0:13:46 > 0:13:49so you can almost say they're like a seasonal cloth.
0:13:49 > 0:13:54So that new, as a tweed jacket from this very high-quality maker,
0:13:54 > 0:13:56is going to be 250 quid?
0:13:56 > 0:13:58- Easily.- Yeah, that sort of money?
0:13:58 > 0:14:03- It's going to make not very much in auction. How much is it?- 25.- 25.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05There's some damage in the lining...
0:14:05 > 0:14:08SELLER: I think it's just a little bit of damp from the air,
0:14:08 > 0:14:10to be quite honest.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12THERESA: What's the best that you'd do on that?
0:14:12 > 0:14:17I could do 18, but that would be the absolute bottom dollar.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19What we'll do is I'll model it for you, right?
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Let's see if I can add a bit of value.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Probably not. I'll probably now devalue it.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27- Thank you very much.- There you go, sir.- Thank you very much.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Let's see if it fits me.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- Hey, I tell you what... - It does, actually.- Hello, baby!
0:14:32 > 0:14:36- Yes!- What do you reckon? - It looks gorgeous.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37Just need a cravat now.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- I'll pinch that off you later. - It's better than the one you had on!
0:14:40 > 0:14:46- I know, look at me! It feels very good.- It does.- Very good indeed.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48- Looks lovely.- So how much is it?
0:14:48 > 0:14:50SELLER: 18 is the very, very best...
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Hasn't it gone down now I'm modelling it and ruining it?
0:14:52 > 0:14:55- No, I'm afraid not.- OK.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57- I have to make a living. - Theresa, what do you reckon?
0:14:57 > 0:14:59What is this going to sell for?
0:14:59 > 0:15:07I mean, I think that I would like to offer you somewhere around £15.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13Well, we started at 25, I've come down to 18.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Shall we say 16? Then I've come down a bit and you've gone up a bit.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20- I think that's a fair deal. - Marvellous. OK, thank you very much.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23- And you're not keeping it! - Get it off me!
0:15:23 > 0:15:24If you can get it off me, you can have it.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26That's the jacket bought.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Now, who's wearing the trousers?
0:15:28 > 0:15:32What I want to show you is this here.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35This object here, I spotted.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39Late 19th century, it could be some sort of Masonic thing.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- This is the Grand Lodge of England. - I've seen little things like that.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46And this, I think this is later. This is inscribed
0:15:46 > 0:15:47for 1960.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51Lot of work involved. Nice, decorative object.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53It could be ours for under £100.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Well, I've no expertise on that myself.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57No, I'm thinking about the feelings,
0:15:57 > 0:15:58what you get from something like this.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00How many people are going to walk in here and buy this?
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Yeah. Exactly.
0:16:02 > 0:16:03So you've got to take something from here
0:16:03 > 0:16:06and put it into auction with the whole internet.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09The internet now is such a powerful tool
0:16:09 > 0:16:11that people can rely on the internet
0:16:11 > 0:16:13to source goods from all over the country,
0:16:13 > 0:16:14and these guys won't travel now,
0:16:14 > 0:16:17because they can buy lots of things in various places at the same time,
0:16:17 > 0:16:20and so the likelihood is the interest in this will be...
0:16:20 > 0:16:23- Really unusual. - ..primarily be through the internet,
0:16:23 > 0:16:24one way or the other.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26I think it's an interesting thing.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Well, I'm happy with that. Are you?
0:16:28 > 0:16:30- I'm putting my trust in him here. - Yes.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32So, really, we need to ask the stallholder,
0:16:32 > 0:16:35who is by chance standing here.
0:16:37 > 0:16:38I think this is very interesting,
0:16:38 > 0:16:41and I don't think you're going to be able to sell it very well here,
0:16:41 > 0:16:43because I don't think the right buyers would be coming.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45What are you asking for it at the moment?
0:16:45 > 0:16:48- Well, £100 initially. - Initially £100?
0:16:49 > 0:16:50£70?
0:16:50 > 0:16:53£75.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56£75 doesn't seem...
0:16:56 > 0:16:57too bad.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01How about £70, and I'll do you an energy test with my pendulum?
0:17:01 > 0:17:04- SHE LAUGHS - What's one of those?
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- Five quid for an energy test. - £71.- £70's fine.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11Well, I think, you know, I think that's an interesting object.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13I really do think that's an interesting object.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17- Can we neutralise this item? - Do we neutralise this? OK.- Yes.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20I thought you were neutralising in terms of spray form nowadays, isn't it?
0:17:20 > 0:17:24- Not the traditional way.- OK.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28- Is it going to disappear now? - Yeah.- In a puff of smoke!
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- There we are.- There we go. - Smells much better.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36OK.
0:17:36 > 0:17:41If the pendulum turns to the right, it's for positive energy,
0:17:41 > 0:17:45and if it goes to the left, it's for lower energy, OK?
0:17:45 > 0:17:49So if you just keep your hand held very still for me.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Oh, straightaway it's going to the right.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58- So that's nice high positive energy from yourself.- That's good.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02So that's excellent. So good health and good luck to you.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Ah, more hocus-pocus.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Let's hope they get positive energy at the auction.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14All this witchcraft - what's next in the pot?
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- You see something that you like? - Oh, here's a big cauldron.
0:18:17 > 0:18:18- OK.- Yeah.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20- Does that excite you, Theresa?- Yeah!
0:18:20 > 0:18:22- Does it? Tell me why.- Yes.
0:18:22 > 0:18:23Wow.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27I just think it would be great outside on a hot night
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- with a big soup in it...- Wow!
0:18:30 > 0:18:33..with all your friends round it dipping their bread in it.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35- You'd need a big fire for that, wouldn't you?- You would.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38- And it's definitely an outdoor one. - It is, it is.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40There you go. There's your big hanging hook thing.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42It's got some age, hasn't it?
0:18:42 > 0:18:44I mean, the thing is that the style of it,
0:18:44 > 0:18:47it can be hundreds of years old, the style,
0:18:47 > 0:18:49but let's have a look at the quality of it -
0:18:49 > 0:18:52how well it's constructed and casted.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- Um, it's OK. - It's all there, but it's...
0:18:55 > 0:18:59- It's all there. It's not... - It's not broken or anything, is it?
0:18:59 > 0:19:01No. It's been repainted.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04It could have actually been in a great big country house
0:19:04 > 0:19:09in a huge kitchen making food for copious amounts of people.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11- Oh, wow. Yeah. - Couldn't it, I suppose?- Yeah, wow.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14It's got some real stories to tell, hasn't it?
0:19:14 > 0:19:16- You really like that, don't you? - I do, yeah.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20Stirring the pot, and all the stories that you could stir into that.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24And all the things that might have been in there all over those years.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27- Can you imagine?- What about this kind of pagan sort of connection?
0:19:27 > 0:19:29- Is this one of the reasons why? - Yeah.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32You're stirring good energy into everything you do,
0:19:32 > 0:19:36- so that's what you do when you're mixing the pot.- Ah, right.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- And what about spells?- I could turn you into a frog if you like.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43No, that happened a very long time ago, Theresa, I can tell you.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47- Let me go and get a price.- OK. - You keep chatting.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- Yep, definitely like that. - It's great. Yeah, I'm really glad that we found it.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- It's so heavy, though. - I haven't felt it yet.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Blimey, yeah.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Right, I don't know whether you're going to be shocked or not here.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- Oh, no.- You've bought cauldrons before, haven't you?- Yeah, yeah.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04- How much do you think it is? Absolute best.- Absolute best?
0:20:04 > 0:20:08- £40-£50 mark at the most. - No, bet you he wants £120...
0:20:08 > 0:20:12Yeah, you're closer. The very best is £90.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14£90.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Is somebody else going to...? Are we going to make a profit?
0:20:17 > 0:20:18I think it's all its money.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Do you know what I like about it?
0:20:20 > 0:20:24The fact that it could be all of its money, or it stands a chance.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27- It could be.- It's an oddity. - It's so unusual.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29What would it cost to buy new? Quite a lot of money.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Quite a lot of money.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34It could lose you 50 quid, but it could make you 50.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Are you sure that's the best he can do?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39- Do you want me to try again?- Yeah.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44- I've just spoken to my team there. - Right.- Could it be £80?
0:20:46 > 0:20:50- I'll have to see first. - OK. Ask him quickly.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52- £85.- £85, thank you.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54OK, back in a minute.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Right, it's a bit like the Chuckle Brothers,
0:20:56 > 0:20:58but, listen, £85.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00- £85.- That is it.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02That is it. I love taking a chance, though.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05I can tell you, honestly, you don't make money ever
0:21:05 > 0:21:07- without taking chances. - Would you, if you were here?
0:21:07 > 0:21:09I would take a punt on it. I would.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11And if I lost 40 quid, I wouldn't cry.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14If I made 50 quid, I'd go celebrate.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16- OK, yep.- Go for it. Shake the hand.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17- I'll go and tell her. - Good deal done.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19That's two items apiece,
0:21:19 > 0:21:22and it means there's time to take a look at an interesting item
0:21:22 > 0:21:26I found, which I know will appeal to the wood-loving Blues.
0:21:31 > 0:21:36How about that for a bit of Adam elegance?
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Isn't that an attractive-looking hall chair?
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Well, of course, the workmanship
0:21:41 > 0:21:44that's gone into the back of this chair is extreme.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48This quality of carving does not crop up that often.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Later in the 19th century, I can guarantee you
0:21:51 > 0:21:55that carving like this would have been applied to the mahogany surface.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59But as it is, all of this is carved out of one solid piece.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02And if you rub your finger over that leafage
0:22:02 > 0:22:07on the outside edge, it almost feels as if it's plastic
0:22:07 > 0:22:09or some kind of moulding,
0:22:09 > 0:22:11but actually, it's Honduras mahogany.
0:22:11 > 0:22:17We've got three carved leaves that go to make that central finial,
0:22:17 > 0:22:20and then either side, a swan neck pediment,
0:22:20 > 0:22:24the elegant swooping neck of a swan, look.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27And it's unlikely that you'll find anywhere
0:22:27 > 0:22:30a finer piece of mahogany carving
0:22:30 > 0:22:32on any piece of furniture.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34It is exquisite.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38Unfortunately, the rest of the chair rather lets it down.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42The number one problem being that hole through the bottom.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Was it made with a hole in the bottom? No.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Was it made to take a potty?
0:22:48 > 0:22:50No.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53What this thing had in the middle of this circle
0:22:53 > 0:22:56was what's called a "dished" piece of mahogany.
0:22:56 > 0:23:01In other words, there was a little insert of mahogany underneath,
0:23:01 > 0:23:04so that when you sat on this hall chair,
0:23:04 > 0:23:07it would have a little indentation.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09It had a bottom to it.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11But something happened.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Somebody put their foot on it.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16A great big heavy person was visiting
0:23:16 > 0:23:18and they had a bad accident.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Whatever happened, somebody at some point
0:23:21 > 0:23:26cut out the damaged central dished piece,
0:23:26 > 0:23:28and they left an open hole,
0:23:28 > 0:23:33and it then got passed on to an incontinent member of the family,
0:23:33 > 0:23:35and it had a second life.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38But the important thing is it doesn't have to stay like this,
0:23:38 > 0:23:42because a decent cabinet-maker will remove the remains
0:23:42 > 0:23:43of the existing seat,
0:23:43 > 0:23:47plant another dished section underneath,
0:23:47 > 0:23:49and hey presto, the seat will then look splendido
0:23:49 > 0:23:52and can be used for its proper purpose,
0:23:52 > 0:23:55which is, as I say, a hall chair.
0:23:55 > 0:24:03So what is the world's best Georgian carved back hall chair worth?
0:24:03 > 0:24:08Well, surprisingly little, if it's got no seat.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12Actually, you could buy this hall chair in a fair for £50,
0:24:12 > 0:24:15which is exactly what I did.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17What would it cost to have a new seat put into it?
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Cabinet-maker, replacing the panel in the seat,
0:24:20 > 0:24:23might cost you another £100.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26And what might the finished chair be worth at the end of the day?
0:24:26 > 0:24:29It might be worth the top end of £400.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31So there's a profit margin in it,
0:24:31 > 0:24:34but the whole point is for £50,
0:24:34 > 0:24:38this thing is a belter.
0:24:44 > 0:24:49So, back to the teams. With two items each what's next on the agenda?
0:24:49 > 0:24:54We have five minutes to go and we really have nothing at the moment that's inspiring us now.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56I quite liked the very first thing we saw,
0:24:56 > 0:25:00- the little pieces of jewellery, the panda and the ladies.- OK.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04That means running into the next stall which does take time. OK?
0:25:04 > 0:25:08- Yes.- Possibly. Anything else you've seen?- We can run.- We can run.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12So the Reds are running off to find their last item, but what's this?
0:25:12 > 0:25:15The Blues have found a bit of jewellery.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19- Do you know what's lovely about this piece of jewellery?- What? Go on. - They're garnets.- Right.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24- Lovely, thank you.- Thanks very much.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27So tell me what's the significance of garnet?
0:25:27 > 0:25:30I was very close to my grandmother who sadly passed away
0:25:30 > 0:25:35a number of years ago and I own her ring that she was
0:25:35 > 0:25:38given as a 21st birthday present and it has a garnet in it.
0:25:38 > 0:25:43Garnets come in a variety of hues but the most common colour is red
0:25:43 > 0:25:46and they've been used in jewellery since the Bronze Age.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49The word "garnet" comes from the Latin "granatum" meaning
0:25:49 > 0:25:54"pomegranate seed", reflecting their shape and colour.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- I think that's beautiful. - So do I.- It's really unusual.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59OK, let's have a look.
0:25:59 > 0:26:06We've got 925 and a Birmingham mark and it is beautiful silver.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09I think that is absolutely delicious.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13- What price has it got on it?- 58.- 58.
0:26:13 > 0:26:14Where is that lovely young lady?
0:26:14 > 0:26:18What do you think? What could we do on that one?
0:26:18 > 0:26:22- STALLHOLDER: I can't knock a lot off this.- You can't?
0:26:22 > 0:26:26- I could do 52.- Really?- Yes. That would be the best on that.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30Well photographed online, that could make 100 quid all day long.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32- Could it?- It could.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34- I think we should go for it. - I think we should go for it.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37I think we're going to go for it. Thank you very much indeed.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39- Thanks very much. - Thank you very much.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43Well done, Blues, the red stones did it for you.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Talking of Reds, I wonder how they are getting on?
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Hello, I've been drawn back because you told me
0:26:48 > 0:26:51you were the seventh child of the seventh child,
0:26:51 > 0:26:54so that has stuck with me and I've come back to buy from you.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58STALLHOLDER: Extrasensory perception has come between us.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01That's right. We're thinking of one of these...
0:27:01 > 0:27:05There's Joan Crawford or the panda.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09OK. I've made a decision and I'm going with the panda.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13Right, the panda is 60 and the best I can do is 50.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Given the time, we don't have a lot of choice.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20OK, yes, I'm happy with the panda. I think we should go for it.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Wonderful.
0:27:27 > 0:27:32That's it. Time is up. Why don't we take a snapshot of how the Reds got on?
0:27:34 > 0:27:38Sniffing a bargain, they handed over all of £3
0:27:38 > 0:27:40for the novelty scent bottle.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42The Masonic pendant set them back
0:27:42 > 0:27:45a bit more - it cost them £70.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48And they were smitten by the novelty brooch in the shape
0:27:48 > 0:27:50of a panda which they bought for £50.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56- You like to push the boundaries, don't you?- Yes.- The things we bought as well.
0:27:56 > 0:27:57What's your favourite piece?
0:27:57 > 0:28:01- My favourite piece is the perfume bottle.- That's your favourite?
0:28:01 > 0:28:04- Favourite favourite?- Yes. - What about you?- The perfume bottle.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Is it going to be the piece that's going to bring the biggest profit?
0:28:07 > 0:28:09- I think so.- You think so.- Yes.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Do you agree about everything, you two?
0:28:11 > 0:28:14- But that necklace thing was nice. - It's a very smart thing.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17We do a little review of your objects later.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20But right now, how much did you spend?
0:28:20 > 0:28:22- 123.- I would like 177, please.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26There we go. There we go. Just as quick as you like.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28- That is a pretty cool amount of money...- Yes.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31..which in itself is a challenge, but today for this special
0:28:31 > 0:28:38programme you get the special £100 bonus buy extra wodge.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41- Are you happy with that?- Absolutely. - Two bonus buys, please.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44Just like that. You can't take too long about it.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47We want your very best work here.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49And when you've done it will you bring it back and show me and
0:28:49 > 0:28:52we'll have a little bit of a chat before the girls get to see them?
0:28:52 > 0:28:58- Absolutely.- Perfect. Happy, girls?- Happy.- Happy, JP? - Absolutely ecstatic.
0:28:58 > 0:28:59We are ecstatic here too,
0:28:59 > 0:29:03so why don't we check out what the Blue team bought?
0:29:03 > 0:29:07They felt the stylish tweed jacket was a snip at £16.
0:29:07 > 0:29:12Could they brew up a winning score with a cast-iron cauldron
0:29:12 > 0:29:14which cost them £85?
0:29:14 > 0:29:18Lastly they opted for something more dainty - a silver and garnet
0:29:18 > 0:29:20bracelet which they bought for £52.
0:29:20 > 0:29:24- How good was it on a scale of good?- Very good.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27- Up there with the tens, was it? - More than that.- More than that.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31- Tell us, which is your favourite piece?- The bracelet.
0:29:31 > 0:29:36- The bracelet is your favourite. You agree?- I have to agree with that. Definitely.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38Is it going to bring the biggest profit?
0:29:38 > 0:29:43- No.- What is?- The tweed jacket. - The tweed jacket.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46- Do you agree with that?- Yes.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48- You do? - You can't beat a bit of nice tweed.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50You can't beat a bit of nice tweed.
0:29:50 > 0:29:54You are so right. You're going to do very well on this programme,
0:29:54 > 0:29:58I can tell you. That's that sorted out. How much did you spend?
0:29:58 > 0:30:04- £153.- 153. I'd like 147, please. Thank you. Well done.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08You whip it out. That's marvellous. And you've had a good time?
0:30:08 > 0:30:10- Brilliant.- That's the main thing on Bargain Hunt.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13We want everybody to have the most blissful time, including David Harper.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16- I always do.- Particularly when you do this bonus buy business,
0:30:16 > 0:30:20because today you're going to get a special treat.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23- Here comes another £100... - You are so good to me.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26..for the special bonus buy you've got to go and find.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28- You've got to find two.- Two? - Two bonus buys.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32- And when you've found them bring them back and we'll have a chat. - All right.
0:30:33 > 0:30:38Both of our experts are on the hunt for their bonus buys.
0:30:38 > 0:30:42Remember, JP has £177 of leftover lolly for the normal team
0:30:42 > 0:30:47bonus buy and £100 for his special bonus buy.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52There is £120 for the dressing table. Thank you. I'll be back for the other bit in a minute.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55Thanks very much.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Right, here we are. Expert buy. Very pleased.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02If you go and look in half the stalls around this fair you
0:31:02 > 0:31:06will find something like this priced up separately.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09Little brush there with a silver mount, priced up separately.
0:31:09 > 0:31:13You've got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
0:31:13 > 0:31:16hand mirror, eight, hand brush, nine,
0:31:16 > 0:31:18that piece there and a button hook, ten,
0:31:18 > 0:31:2111 pieces and some leather in a fitted case
0:31:21 > 0:31:22for the princely sum of £120.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24It's a really good deal.
0:31:24 > 0:31:28And it should make me, crikey, £30 or £40 at least.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35That's the team's bonus buy sorted. Now what about the special buy?
0:31:38 > 0:31:40What I've bought here has cost me
0:31:40 > 0:31:42the princely sum of £55.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45It's a little embossed silver and pierced box
0:31:45 > 0:31:47and cover with a little glass liner.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50And it's a nice thing for a lady's dressing table,
0:31:50 > 0:31:52keep little bits in it.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55It's made in Chester in 1907 and for £55
0:31:55 > 0:31:57I'm sure it's going to make me something.
0:31:57 > 0:32:02I've found a hidden corner in the fair away from the contestants.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04So, JP, let's have a butcher's.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07- Well, it looks as if you've been on your travels.- Yes.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10- I've stolen one jar out of there. - No, you haven't, have you?- No.- No, you haven't.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13OK, fine. This is the team's bonus buy?
0:32:13 > 0:32:15I looked at it as the sum of all the parts.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18- This purple is fantastic, isn't it? - Yes, it's pretty cool.
0:32:18 > 0:32:24- It's a very good colour.- This sort of vintage luggage is quite popular.
0:32:24 > 0:32:28- This probably started off life with a canvas cover.- Yes, definitely.
0:32:28 > 0:32:32- Which has long since gone. - It's protected it for a bit.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34And it's in a pretty good state.
0:32:34 > 0:32:38- So you're pretty cool about that and you spent how much?- £120.- £120.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42That's great. And the special bonus buy is that. Is it a string box?
0:32:42 > 0:32:45- No. Hopefully there's no hole in it.- OK, fine.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47- So it's not a string box. It's just a little dressing jar, is it?- Yes.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49It's a lady's dressing table thing.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51It's pierced so you can see through the sides.
0:32:51 > 0:32:52The condition is nice.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54- How much?- £55.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56I don't see a big profit in either of these.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59If you asked which is going to bring the most I'd be in two minds.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02Eeny, meeny, miny... And probably finish up with this, actually.
0:33:02 > 0:33:03I'd go with that too.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07On the basis that somebody might go £150. Anyway there we are.
0:33:07 > 0:33:08That's my prediction.
0:33:08 > 0:33:09We could all be right or wrong
0:33:09 > 0:33:12and the teams may not go with either, but never mind,
0:33:12 > 0:33:16let's in the meanwhile look at how poor David Harper is getting on.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20David is still looking for both his bonus buys.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23For his normal one, the team bonus buy,
0:33:23 > 0:33:27he's left with £147 of leftover lolly. Go, Dave.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30All the way through the shopping you'll remember that we've
0:33:30 > 0:33:34been talking about wood. We began by hugging a tree.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36We've been looking for wooden carvings,
0:33:36 > 0:33:40but we didn't buy anything wood, so I was determined to do it.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44And I have. I think this is a special little piece.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48Probably First World War. A tiny piece of rosewood,
0:33:48 > 0:33:50very plain and simple,
0:33:50 > 0:33:51cut in the shape of a heart,
0:33:51 > 0:33:55bound with a piece of brass in the shape of a horseshoe.
0:33:55 > 0:34:00And then on it is written very basically in brass, "Touch Wood".
0:34:00 > 0:34:03It's a touch piece. It's a piece of good luck.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05It's the kind of thing that guys took with them to the
0:34:05 > 0:34:08First World War, '14 to '18,
0:34:08 > 0:34:13and before they went over the top they would touch wood for good luck.
0:34:13 > 0:34:17So that's my normal bonus buy and I spotted something pretty
0:34:17 > 0:34:20interesting just over there with the special £100.
0:34:21 > 0:34:27- So, what about that special buy? Will David branch out?- Cheers.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31Now, I just couldn't leave without buying this thing.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33Come on, it is gorgeous.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36What it is, quite, I'm not sure so I'm looking forward to
0:34:36 > 0:34:40talking to Tim, but I know that it's possibly Indian.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43It's obviously wood. It's got lots of age to it
0:34:43 > 0:34:46and it represents life and all the wonderful things.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48We've got fish, we've got fruit, we've got flowers.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52And we've got some carving on the underside here and a signature.
0:34:52 > 0:34:56It's probably Hindu and it may well have been a lid to something.
0:34:56 > 0:34:57I don't care.
0:34:57 > 0:35:01To me, it's a beautiful piece of artwork
0:35:01 > 0:35:07and for £60, I think it stands a chance of making a profit.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09Well, David, gone a bit woody, haven't you?
0:35:09 > 0:35:14I've gone all wood, Tim, because my Pagan pair were searching for wood
0:35:14 > 0:35:18throughout the whole shopping experience and we didn't buy anything wood at all.
0:35:18 > 0:35:22- The team's bonus buy is this fellow? - Yes.- Which says, "touch wood".
0:35:22 > 0:35:26- Touch wood.- Now, this touch on the back is very soft,
0:35:26 > 0:35:29it's almost like rubbing your thumb over a bit of velvet.
0:35:29 > 0:35:30Peaceful, isn't it?
0:35:30 > 0:35:36Yeah, because the touch of 100 years of somebody just doing exactly that.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39So, that's not made in the trenches, is it? It's made somewhere else?
0:35:39 > 0:35:43- Yeah, I don't think it was made in the trenches.- It's a good luck charm that somebody would have sent
0:35:43 > 0:35:47to a loved one in the trenches. Very soulful. How much?
0:35:47 > 0:35:49- £25.- OK, that's all right.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52- Very nice.- OK. - Now what's this old lump then?
0:35:52 > 0:35:54Well, I'm hoping you might help me out here,
0:35:54 > 0:35:56because my brain has been whirring.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59Well, I've seen loads of these. You'd put a pot on it.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02You'd put something on it because you're on a damp old floor
0:36:02 > 0:36:05and whatever you've got sitting on top of there isn't directly
0:36:05 > 0:36:07connected with the ground. What did you pay? I gave you 100.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10- You gave me 100 and I paid 60. - Did you? OK, fine.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12I have to make my prediction between the two
0:36:12 > 0:36:14as to which is going to bring the biggest profit
0:36:14 > 0:36:18and I think that is much more likely to bring the biggest profit.
0:36:18 > 0:36:19OK.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22While the teams head off to the auction,
0:36:22 > 0:36:25let's take a breather and explore one of the most delightful
0:36:25 > 0:36:29houses in Cornwall which I visited on my travels.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33When you visit Cotehele House here in Cornwall, it is as if
0:36:33 > 0:36:35time has stood still.
0:36:35 > 0:36:40In fact, the principal part of the building is largely unaltered
0:36:40 > 0:36:42since Tudor times.
0:36:42 > 0:36:48It was Piers Edgecombe around 1500 who remodelled the chapel and that
0:36:48 > 0:36:53is today home to a fascinating piece of horological history.
0:36:58 > 0:37:03BELL CHIMES
0:37:10 > 0:37:15What about that? Is that not extraordinary?
0:37:15 > 0:37:19In a corner of the chapel, concealed behind a door,
0:37:19 > 0:37:24we have an incredibly early clock.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27Technically, this is a type of turret clock
0:37:27 > 0:37:30but it's got a very early movement.
0:37:30 > 0:37:34This type of movement is called verge and foliot
0:37:34 > 0:37:40and the power of the clock, the escaping of time, happens
0:37:40 > 0:37:45as a result of those two weights, the stone one and the metal one,
0:37:45 > 0:37:50which go up a chute when it's wound and when they descend,
0:37:50 > 0:37:57that power escapes through the verge wheel and the foliot.
0:37:57 > 0:38:03The foliot acting like a pendulum but this is before the days
0:38:03 > 0:38:09of pendulums, because this thing dates back to the late 1400s.
0:38:09 > 0:38:10Extraordinary.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32But how's it going to be for our teams today who've been
0:38:32 > 0:38:37up against the clock? Are they about to strike gold over at the auction?
0:38:39 > 0:38:43# So ferry across the Mersey
0:38:43 > 0:38:48# Cos this land's the place I love
0:38:48 > 0:38:52# And here I'll stay
0:38:52 > 0:38:55# Here I'll stay... #
0:38:55 > 0:38:57Well, I can't tell you what a pleasure it is to be back
0:38:57 > 0:39:03in Liverpool, a city we don't visit often, and to be here
0:39:03 > 0:39:06in the company of Adam Partridge in his very own city centre saleroom.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08- Adam.- Welcome, Tim.
0:39:08 > 0:39:12- My gosh, this is a good place, isn't it?- Well, I'm glad you like it.
0:39:12 > 0:39:16- It's pulsing with life and vigour. - That's Liverpool for you.- Liverpool.
0:39:16 > 0:39:21Anyway, talking of pulsing, how does this little scent bottle take you?
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Does that make your pulse race?
0:39:23 > 0:39:26It made me apoplectic with rage when that came in.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28You don't like scent bottles?
0:39:28 > 0:39:31I have no problem with scent bottles but I prefer Lalique ones
0:39:31 > 0:39:34or silver mounted ones or some sort of quality scent bottles.
0:39:34 > 0:39:40This one you can still buy today from a major department store
0:39:40 > 0:39:44- or online, full of scent, for £10. - Can you?
0:39:44 > 0:39:47Well, our team paid £3 for that one empty.
0:39:47 > 0:39:48HE LAUGHS
0:39:48 > 0:39:51I mean, it's crackers, isn't it? How much have you put on it then?
0:39:51 > 0:39:52Well, a generous five to ten
0:39:52 > 0:39:55because I can't start putting estimates of £1 to £2.
0:39:55 > 0:39:56Yes, OK, fine.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59But then to something completely different.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02We've gone with this rather handsome bit of Masonic regalia.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05Yes, quite impressive, isn't it? There's some work in there,
0:40:05 > 0:40:07there is a lot of metal, a lot of enamelling.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09It's an impressive-looking piece of regalia
0:40:09 > 0:40:13- and we see lots of it through the saleroom, different kinds.- Do you?
0:40:13 > 0:40:15- Yeah.- Are these made of silver or are these bits...?
0:40:15 > 0:40:18Well, there's not a hallmark in sight, Tim, so we've had to call it, "white metal".
0:40:18 > 0:40:22- Well, there it is, if it's not hallmarked you have to sell it as white metal.- Yeah.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25- And what's it worth? - 30-50 quid.- OK, £70 paid.
0:40:25 > 0:40:31- And lastly is the Stein brooch. - Yeah.- Now, Lea Stein.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34Plastic jewellery's oddball stuff, isn't it?
0:40:34 > 0:40:36Well, some of the earlier stuff by Lea Stein's quite,
0:40:36 > 0:40:40- quite desirable, quite valuable. But I think that's...- Later?
0:40:40 > 0:40:43- Because they do make these later reproductions, don't they?- Yes.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46And that's just a bit convenient, being a panda
0:40:46 > 0:40:48having a bit of a chomp at a bit of bamboo.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51Well, that might make it quite commercial, perhaps,
0:40:51 > 0:40:54but I can't see that being worth more than 20 quid or so.
0:40:54 > 0:40:55OK, £50 paid.
0:40:55 > 0:41:00So, this team uniquely have spent more than the auctioneer has
0:41:00 > 0:41:03any semblance of recommending as an estimate, so,
0:41:03 > 0:41:07it means that they're going to need one of their bonus buys
0:41:07 > 0:41:10but let's go and have a look at both of them.
0:41:10 > 0:41:14- Tricia, Lindsay, excited?- Yes. - Yeah. OK, very nice.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17Now, JP, show us what you bought.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22There we are. Now, one of those is the team bonus buy.
0:41:22 > 0:41:27You gave JP £177 to go and buy this, which piece is it, JP?
0:41:29 > 0:41:32- OK.- It's not just a suitcase.- OK.
0:41:32 > 0:41:36Inside you have a whole number of little silver-topped bits
0:41:36 > 0:41:39- and pieces so it's a dressing case. - How much did you pay?
0:41:39 > 0:41:44- I didn't blow all the budget but I spent £120.- OK.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47I think there's room for profit. It's not going to go tearing away
0:41:47 > 0:41:49but I think there's room for profit.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Unusually for these special programmes,
0:41:51 > 0:41:56because we've given JP an additional £100 for the special bonus buy,
0:41:56 > 0:41:58which has to be this little pot. Tell us about it.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01It's a little lady's dressing table pot. It's glass.
0:42:01 > 0:42:06Chester 1907, there we are. Nice little thing. That cost me £55.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08- Well, I quite like that as well. - I thought you might.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10- Are you happy with that, girls?- Mmm.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Now, listen, after the sale of your first three items,
0:42:12 > 0:42:14that will be the moment for your choice.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16Have a wee think, girls, because right now we are going to
0:42:16 > 0:42:21check out with the auctioneer what he thinks about JP's bonus buys.
0:42:23 > 0:42:27Right, Adam, two bonus buys, look, this is the team's bonus buy,
0:42:27 > 0:42:28what do you think of that?
0:42:28 > 0:42:31The toilet case, well, we see them quite often, it's all right,
0:42:31 > 0:42:34it's missing a couple of bits but overall it's OK.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36It's got a mixture of fitments, some are Chester marked,
0:42:36 > 0:42:40some are London marked, all are around 1911 and I would imagine it
0:42:40 > 0:42:43- should make 70 to 100 quid, perhaps a touch more.- OK.
0:42:43 > 0:42:48- Well, £120 they paid. The special bonus buy is this little fella.- Yes.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51- Dressing table pot.- Yeah. It's all right as well, isn't it?
0:42:51 > 0:42:52A bit bashed.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55A bit bashed, bit of a glass liner, bit of a chip on it, but...
0:42:55 > 0:42:56Nice bit of Chester for you.
0:42:56 > 0:43:00Chester silver, again, close to here, 30 to £50 estimate.
0:43:00 > 0:43:04We'll make that, maybe a touch more, but I can't see it...
0:43:04 > 0:43:07- Sure.- ..jogging on for much more. - 30 to 50 is your estimate?- Yeah.
0:43:07 > 0:43:11£55 they paid and funnily enough, my prediction was that the
0:43:11 > 0:43:15dressing case would make the most profit but of course
0:43:15 > 0:43:18I won't be telling the Reds which bonus buy I put my money on.
0:43:18 > 0:43:21Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Moving on to the Blues,
0:43:21 > 0:43:24well, we've got a tweed jacket by Daks.
0:43:24 > 0:43:27Which looks like something that some old schoolmaster might have worn.
0:43:27 > 0:43:31We do sell clothing and textiles here but generally of a vintage nature,
0:43:31 > 0:43:35- generally dresses, fur coats. - Something a bit dressy?
0:43:35 > 0:43:39- Proper vintage. But a tweed jacket? - Not very vintage, is it?
0:43:39 > 0:43:44- Not very dressy.- A bit of a rural lot as well.- OK, what's it worth then, Adam Partridge?
0:43:44 > 0:43:48Well, I'll be putting 20 to £30 but to be honest I was quite hopeful there.
0:43:48 > 0:43:52OK, £16 paid and Theresa really rated it
0:43:52 > 0:43:54- so, we'll see what happens.- Did she?
0:43:54 > 0:43:58Yeah, don't know why, just like she rated this oval cauldron
0:43:58 > 0:44:00which would be very handy if you happened to be a witch.
0:44:00 > 0:44:04Yeah, or you could, you could make a big pot of scouse in it.
0:44:04 > 0:44:06What is a pot of scouse, please?
0:44:06 > 0:44:08- Scouse is a stew that they eat up here.- Is it?
0:44:08 > 0:44:10- That's why they're called Scousers. - Is that a fact?
0:44:10 > 0:44:13They're called Scousers because they eat a certain type of stew called scouse?
0:44:13 > 0:44:16Yes, or, "lobby scouse," I think is the full term for it.
0:44:16 > 0:44:19Would you want to cook your scouse in that particular pot?
0:44:19 > 0:44:21- Not really, no.- No? Me neither, not with all that rust.
0:44:21 > 0:44:24It's a good big pot though, isn't it? A good witch's cauldron.
0:44:24 > 0:44:29It certainly is. If you're doing a Macbeth, that is the pot for you.
0:44:29 > 0:44:31- Yeah.- So, hubble bubble, what's it worth?
0:44:31 > 0:44:37- Lots of trouble, 30 to 50 quid.- That is trouble. £85 they paid.
0:44:37 > 0:44:41- So, it'll take more than wing of bat to sort that out?- It will.- Now.
0:44:41 > 0:44:43- I can't see that happening. - Me neither.
0:44:43 > 0:44:45Now, what about the continental silver bracelet?
0:44:45 > 0:44:48- I don't like it.- Do you not? - Not really. It's silver, yes.
0:44:48 > 0:44:51It's '95 continental silver, I don't think there's a lot of age
0:44:51 > 0:44:54- to it, is there?- No, but it is silver.
0:44:54 > 0:44:58I put 20 to £30 estimate which I think was quite generous.
0:44:58 > 0:45:00They paid £52, I don't think they are going to make a profit
0:45:00 > 0:45:03but I think they'll get somewhere close, they ought to.
0:45:03 > 0:45:05They should make 20 or 30 quid of it but again it's the sort of thing
0:45:05 > 0:45:08we would probably put in a job lot normally, costume jewellery.
0:45:08 > 0:45:10I suppose you would, I suppose you would.
0:45:10 > 0:45:13However we go with this, I've a funny feeling they're going to need
0:45:13 > 0:45:15one or other of those bonus buys and let's go
0:45:15 > 0:45:18and have a look at the expert showing them.
0:45:19 > 0:45:22Now, Julian, Theresa, this is fun, isn't it?
0:45:22 > 0:45:27Two bonus buys, David, show us the team's bonus buy, for which
0:45:27 > 0:45:30you were given £147 of leftover lolly.
0:45:30 > 0:45:34- Oh!- It's a good luck charm. First World War.
0:45:34 > 0:45:36Soldier's good luck charm.
0:45:36 > 0:45:39Something to touch just before he goes over the top.
0:45:39 > 0:45:43- How much did you spend on it?- 25. - Oh, yeah, that's OK.
0:45:43 > 0:45:46Well, there we go, that is the team's bonus buy.
0:45:46 > 0:45:48Now, David, show us the special bonus buy.
0:45:48 > 0:45:52- Here we go, ready? Wood.- Oh!
0:45:52 > 0:45:53Oh, I quite like that.
0:45:55 > 0:45:59- So, what sort of age is that?- I think it's 19th century.
0:45:59 > 0:46:03It's got to have 100 years to it. We're looking at India here.
0:46:03 > 0:46:07- It's teak wood, hand-carved.- Do you think it's a mould for something?
0:46:07 > 0:46:12- It could be.- It's a nice idea. That's a very valid idea.
0:46:12 > 0:46:14It looks like more value for money than this little thing.
0:46:14 > 0:46:20- It probably is! I paid £60 for that. - Oh, right.- Yeah.- OK.
0:46:20 > 0:46:24- I know which I prefer.- Ask him how much profit it's going to make.
0:46:24 > 0:46:27Ooh, ooh. Now, that's a very tricky question.
0:46:27 > 0:46:30That, I'm afraid to tell you, if people don't understand it,
0:46:30 > 0:46:31it could make 20 quid.
0:46:31 > 0:46:35But, it's one of those objects that could make £120.
0:46:35 > 0:46:39And that's why I love it because nobody can actually value it.
0:46:39 > 0:46:42OK, team, two difficult choices there when your moment comes,
0:46:42 > 0:46:44but right now, for the audience at home,
0:46:44 > 0:46:49let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Dave's bonus buys.
0:46:51 > 0:46:54Right then, Adam, bonus buys, two of.
0:46:54 > 0:46:59- Do you like that First World War charm?- I do quite like that, yeah.
0:46:59 > 0:47:02- I can't recall having seen one before.- I've never seen one.- No.
0:47:02 > 0:47:05And the whole business about touching wood for luck,
0:47:05 > 0:47:07and you'd tuck it into your tunic pocket
0:47:07 > 0:47:12and you'd be at that terrible moment before you go over the top,
0:47:12 > 0:47:15you'd grip it and you'd so want to live, wouldn't you?
0:47:15 > 0:47:17I think it's terribly evocative.
0:47:17 > 0:47:20I agree with you, I quite like that and to me that timber feels
0:47:20 > 0:47:24as though it might be part of an aeroplane propeller or something like that.
0:47:24 > 0:47:26I don't know if I'm over romanticising this
0:47:26 > 0:47:29- but could it be made from debris? - It could be, couldn't it?
0:47:29 > 0:47:33- Trench art?- It's poignant and it's powerful. What's it worth?
0:47:33 > 0:47:37- 20 quid.- OK. £25 paid.
0:47:37 > 0:47:40The second bonus buy, the special bonus buy,
0:47:40 > 0:47:44is this fella in hardwood which I suppose is Indian, is it?
0:47:44 > 0:47:48I'm sure it's Indian. I don't think that's very special, really.
0:47:48 > 0:47:49How do you think about that?
0:47:49 > 0:47:51When I looked at both of these bonus buys my prediction
0:47:51 > 0:47:54was that the touch wood would bring the biggest profit.
0:47:54 > 0:47:58I'm inclined to agree with you on that one. I put 20 to £30 on that.
0:47:58 > 0:48:01David Harper paid £60 for that. It's too much, isn't it?
0:48:01 > 0:48:05Whereas touch wood, touch wood we'll be all right.
0:48:05 > 0:48:08'I'm keeping mum and I won't let the Blues know which of those
0:48:08 > 0:48:09'took my fancy.'
0:48:09 > 0:48:10OK, thank you very much, Adam.
0:48:10 > 0:48:14- You're going to be in control in a moment, right?- I am.- I am!
0:48:14 > 0:48:15So masterful.
0:48:26 > 0:48:28How are you feeling?
0:48:28 > 0:48:31- Excited.- Are you? Are you feeling excited, Lindsay?- Very.
0:48:31 > 0:48:33- You're quite easily excited though, Lindsay?- Yes, can't help it.
0:48:33 > 0:48:36- It's just within you, isn't it? - It's just me, yes.
0:48:36 > 0:48:40- Yes.- OK, now, moving on, you bought the scent bottle, yes?
0:48:40 > 0:48:43The auctioneer absolutely loathed it, he's put 5 to £10 on it,
0:48:43 > 0:48:46he feels mortified that it's even in the sale.
0:48:46 > 0:48:47Anyway, here it comes.
0:48:47 > 0:48:52Give me a fiver for it. Five pounds.
0:48:52 > 0:48:54- A pound.- Oh, it could be used.
0:48:54 > 0:48:55A pound on the second row.
0:48:55 > 0:48:59- I have not sold anything for a pound for a long, long time.- That's it.
0:49:00 > 0:49:05Thank you for that which is -£2. Masonic interest. Here we go.
0:49:05 > 0:49:07The Masonic pendant there. What do we say for that?
0:49:07 > 0:49:10I'm bid £30 on my books here. At 30 bid, I'll take five.
0:49:10 > 0:49:14At £30 for the regalia here, five. 40 and five in the middle.
0:49:14 > 0:49:17At £45, I'll take 50 now.
0:49:17 > 0:49:22At 45, we're here in the middle at 45, any more now? £45 then.
0:49:22 > 0:49:25£45. Sorry about that, girls.
0:49:25 > 0:49:30- That's five off 50, that's -25, -27.- Disappointing.
0:49:30 > 0:49:33- Now, Lea Stein brooch. - The novelty brooch there as a panda.
0:49:33 > 0:49:37Lea Stein there, hugely popular,, I'm bid 20, 5, £30.
0:49:37 > 0:49:41At 30 bid, at £30, the pound to hit five and 40 and five.
0:49:41 > 0:49:45Yours on the second row. 50, sir? 50. Five now.
0:49:45 > 0:49:48- It's 50 here in the third.- 50? Yes. You paid 50.
0:49:48 > 0:49:50Well done, Tricia.
0:49:50 > 0:49:54You're pleased about this, aren't you? £50 paid, £50 paid.
0:49:54 > 0:49:57That's wiped its face. No profit, no loss, no pain, no gain.
0:49:57 > 0:50:02Now, overall you're -£27 so what are you going to do, kids?
0:50:02 > 0:50:05Are you going to go with the purple toilet case or are you going
0:50:05 > 0:50:07to go with the dressing table jar?
0:50:07 > 0:50:09- We're going with the case. - Are you?
0:50:09 > 0:50:13- You don't have to go with anything, you know.- We're going with the case.
0:50:13 > 0:50:15You're going to go with the case? You agree with that, Lindsay?
0:50:15 > 0:50:16I like the case, yes.
0:50:16 > 0:50:19I have to tell you that of the two bonus buys,
0:50:19 > 0:50:23I selected this one was going to make the biggest profit.
0:50:23 > 0:50:25We're rooting for this and here it comes.
0:50:25 > 0:50:27Good amount of fitments inside.
0:50:27 > 0:50:32Silver mounted fittings for Chester and London circa 1911 and '12.
0:50:32 > 0:50:37Should be £70, start me 70? 50 then. 50 bid and five and 60.
0:50:37 > 0:50:43Five, 70. Five, 80. 80 only on my left. £80, where's five now?
0:50:43 > 0:50:46At £80 only bid at 80. Any advance on 80?
0:50:46 > 0:50:50On my left-hand side at five, 90? 90 bid. At 90. You're done now?
0:50:50 > 0:50:52I'm selling on my left-hand side at 90.
0:50:52 > 0:50:55Are you all done in the room and online? I'm selling at £90.
0:50:55 > 0:50:58Only bid 90.
0:50:58 > 0:51:00- £90, bad luck. - Could have been worse.
0:51:00 > 0:51:03Oh, you're so sweet, Tricia, so sweet.
0:51:03 > 0:51:05-£30 on that.
0:51:05 > 0:51:09Now, we're going to sell the jar, were we right to reject it?
0:51:09 > 0:51:12- Here it comes.- There we are, that's a pretty piece of silver, isn't it?
0:51:12 > 0:51:15And I'm bid £30. At 30 bid, where's five now?
0:51:15 > 0:51:1935 and 40 and five, 50 and five. Have another, it's 50 here.
0:51:19 > 0:51:25At £50, at 50. Any more now? £50. Five in the corner now. £55 then.
0:51:25 > 0:51:31£55, are you all done this side? 55, any more, £55.
0:51:31 > 0:51:32And it wiped its face.
0:51:32 > 0:51:35I can't believe it. £55.
0:51:35 > 0:51:41Overall your score is -£57, which is a tragedy, but today it might be
0:51:41 > 0:51:44a winning score so don't say a word to the Blues, all right?
0:51:44 > 0:51:45OK.
0:51:50 > 0:51:53Now, Theresa, Julian, this is exciting, isn't it?
0:51:53 > 0:51:56- Yeah.- Do you know how the Reds got on?- No.- No.- Good.
0:51:56 > 0:51:59That's marvellous. Now, who selected the Daks jacket?
0:51:59 > 0:52:03- Was that you, Theresa? - It was.- £16 you paid for that.- Yes.
0:52:03 > 0:52:07- He's estimated £20 to £30, which I think is a miracle.- Oh, do you?
0:52:07 > 0:52:09Yep, I do. I think it's a blessed miracle.
0:52:09 > 0:52:12- I think if it makes a £5 note, that tweed jacket...- Tim!
0:52:12 > 0:52:16- I've got loads.- A man of style?- I've got shed loads of old tweed jackets.
0:52:16 > 0:52:17I'm bringing them all the way to Liverpool
0:52:17 > 0:52:20and I'm going to get rid of the lot, OK?
0:52:20 > 0:52:25There we are. The tweed jacket. £20 for it? £20 the tweed jacket. £20?
0:52:25 > 0:52:29- £20. £10.- No taste.
0:52:29 > 0:52:33There we are. The hand is raised. At £10 there reluctantly at a tenner.
0:52:33 > 0:52:38I'll take 15 anywhere. At £10 at the back of the room. 15 internet.
0:52:38 > 0:52:41At 15. 20, sir? Are you sure? At £15 online.
0:52:41 > 0:52:44You must have tried it on and everything.
0:52:44 > 0:52:46At £15 it's online while you think again.
0:52:46 > 0:52:52At £15. We are selling online then at £15. The tweed jacket at £15.
0:52:54 > 0:52:58- Not too bad. £15 is -£1. - Not that bad.- It's not that bad.
0:52:58 > 0:53:01- No.- It's not that bad, come on.- No.
0:53:01 > 0:53:04My prediction was a fiver. You got £15, that's perfect.
0:53:04 > 0:53:07- Now, the scouse pot. - Cast-iron cauldron there.
0:53:07 > 0:53:09Yes, you could make a big pot of scouse in that, couldn't you?
0:53:09 > 0:53:11Bid me what, £30 for it? £30.
0:53:14 > 0:53:16£20? 20 at the back.
0:53:16 > 0:53:19At £20 at the back of the room, the cauldron, at 20.
0:53:19 > 0:53:24And five, 30 and five, 40. 40, still at the back. At £40 now.
0:53:24 > 0:53:28At £40, mid estimate at £40.
0:53:28 > 0:53:32At £40, all done at £40 then?
0:53:32 > 0:53:38-45 means you're -46. Oh, dear, oh, dear. Now, the garnet bracelet.
0:53:38 > 0:53:40This is it.
0:53:40 > 0:53:41Got to make more than 20 to 30.
0:53:41 > 0:53:43And I have 20 and five? 25 is bid.
0:53:43 > 0:53:49At £25, any advance on this now? At 30, five, 40.
0:53:49 > 0:53:52Five, 50. Five, 60.
0:53:53 > 0:54:00- It's only money. Five, 70. Five and 80.- Yes!- Yes, sure, it's 75 here.
0:54:00 > 0:54:06- I'll take 80 though, at £75. At 75. - We're redeeming ourselves here.
0:54:06 > 0:54:09Sir, at £75 here on my books at 75.
0:54:10 > 0:54:14That's great. So £23 profit, that's what we like to see.
0:54:15 > 0:54:20And that means that you are now -23.
0:54:20 > 0:54:23-£23, so what are you going to do?
0:54:23 > 0:54:27Are you going to go with the "touch wood" or with the teak stand
0:54:27 > 0:54:31or are you going to do nothing and park your -£23?
0:54:31 > 0:54:33I think we're going with the "touch wood".
0:54:33 > 0:54:34When it comes to predicting,
0:54:34 > 0:54:37I predicted that that object was going to bring more than
0:54:37 > 0:54:40the other stands so we are all talking off the same hymn sheet here.
0:54:40 > 0:54:43We're going with the good luck charm. And here it comes.
0:54:43 > 0:54:45Would there be £20 worth, please? £20, the "touch wood" jar.
0:54:45 > 0:54:52£10, start me. £10, somebody, in the room here. At £10, seated bid then.
0:54:52 > 0:54:58At £10 only bid. 10. Any advance on £10? 15, thank you. Standing 15.
0:54:58 > 0:55:0120 now. At £15, I can't recall ever seeing one of these before.
0:55:01 > 0:55:04- £15, standing bidder. - Yeah, it's really rare.
0:55:04 > 0:55:10- At 15 then, I'm selling at £15. - Sorry, guys, I'm sorry.
0:55:10 > 0:55:12- HAMMER FALLS - £15...
0:55:12 > 0:55:16is -£10. No more sorry than I am, David.
0:55:16 > 0:55:17I saw that being worth more.
0:55:17 > 0:55:21The carved hardwood circular stand, Indian there and £20 for it.
0:55:21 > 0:55:28£20 the stand. £10 for it. £10, the carved stand.
0:55:28 > 0:55:29£10 is online.
0:55:29 > 0:55:32At £10, at 10. Any advance now at 10?
0:55:32 > 0:55:36You can all have a good look at it and bid me 15. At 10 online.
0:55:36 > 0:55:40- £10 only bid at 10. Selling it at 10.- No, don't sell it.
0:55:40 > 0:55:42- I'm glad we didn't choose that one. - At 10 it is then.
0:55:42 > 0:55:46Don't sell it, don't sell it! He's not going to sell it.
0:55:46 > 0:55:49- HAMMER FALLS - He is!
0:55:49 > 0:55:52- Which is -£50. - I can't believe it.
0:55:52 > 0:55:57Well, I'm afraid I can because it's just happened.
0:55:57 > 0:55:59That's not good, is it? But never mind.
0:55:59 > 0:56:02Overall, look, you went with the "touch wood".
0:56:02 > 0:56:07You were -23, you are now -33. That is your overall tally.
0:56:07 > 0:56:10Which could be a winning score so don't say a word to the Reds.
0:56:15 > 0:56:21Well, teams, this is fun, isn't it? How to lose loads of money big-time.
0:56:21 > 0:56:24Because, I tell you, that's what you lot have done.
0:56:24 > 0:56:25It must be marvellous.
0:56:25 > 0:56:28We give you all this dosh and you do so appallingly bad with it
0:56:28 > 0:56:33and somebody wins! That's what's so completely crackers.
0:56:33 > 0:56:36Actually, there is not very much between the teams today
0:56:36 > 0:56:38but they have all done incredibly badly.
0:56:38 > 0:56:42In fact, we've lost on absolutely every object with the exception
0:56:42 > 0:56:47of a garnet bracelet for the Blues which was kind of handy.
0:56:47 > 0:56:50And that is an indication of the final result
0:56:50 > 0:56:54because the runners-up today by quite a trawl are the Reds.
0:56:54 > 0:56:56And if I were you lot,
0:56:56 > 0:57:00I would stick to tarot card reading rather than going out there
0:57:00 > 0:57:03and doing the real thing because it is not a pretty picture this, is it?
0:57:03 > 0:57:06And I predicted that the toilet case was going to bring a great
0:57:06 > 0:57:07big profit and it made a loss
0:57:07 > 0:57:09so it just shows I don't know what I'm talking about either.
0:57:09 > 0:57:13- Anyway, so, no pain no shame. Had a lovely time, you two?- Yes, I have.
0:57:13 > 0:57:15It's been great, actually. Lovely having you on the show,
0:57:15 > 0:57:18I'm just sorry not to be giving you piles of dough.
0:57:18 > 0:57:19So am I.
0:57:19 > 0:57:22- HE MOCK CRIES - I know.
0:57:22 > 0:57:25Anyway, we've got to be grown-up about this. It's been great.
0:57:25 > 0:57:30But the victors today, who won by only losing £33, are the Blues.
0:57:30 > 0:57:32So congratulations on that. And, as I say,
0:57:32 > 0:57:37you did make that nice profit on the garnet bracelet which was cool.
0:57:37 > 0:57:41But you went with the team's bonus buy which was the "touch wood"
0:57:41 > 0:57:44charm which didn't bring you much in the way of luck.
0:57:44 > 0:57:46That was my prediction, that the
0:57:46 > 0:57:50"touch wood" charm would bring the biggest profit or the smallest loss
0:57:50 > 0:57:52which is what it did so I didn't feel too badly about it either.
0:57:52 > 0:57:56- Have you had a nice time? Been good for you, Theresa?- Yeah, brilliant.
0:57:56 > 0:57:58It was brilliant for us too.
0:57:58 > 0:58:00So join us soon for some more bargain hunting. Yes?
0:58:00 > 0:58:01ALL: Yes!
