0:00:29 > 0:00:31We're in Oswestry, Shropshire,
0:00:31 > 0:00:35a busy little town nestling on the border with Wales.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Its markets have attracted trade
0:00:37 > 0:00:41since the Middle Ages, so let's hope that our teams today
0:00:41 > 0:00:44will keep the tradition alive and kicking.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Each team has 300 quid, and an hour
0:00:50 > 0:00:54to sniff out those bargains which will be sold at auction.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57The winners are those that make the most profit,
0:00:57 > 0:01:01and to help them on their way, they'll be given an excellent expert.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Let's go and meet the teams!
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Today we've got two teams of happily married couples,
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Graham and Charlotte,
0:01:09 > 0:01:11and Theresa and Ernie. Welcome to Bargain Hunt.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- Charlotte, you only got married last year.- We did, yes.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16How long have you known each other?
0:01:16 > 0:01:19We actually first met at school when we were about 16,
0:01:19 > 0:01:23but we lost touch after that,
0:01:23 > 0:01:26and got together again about three years ago.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- And you haven't got rid of him since?- No.- And now
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- you're expecting a baby?- I am, yes. - Congratulations on that.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- What are you hoping to have? - I really don't mind.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Graham's already got a son, and he's seven,
0:01:38 > 0:01:41so he's very excited as well. I think he'd like a boy,
0:01:41 > 0:01:42but I'm fine with either.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- What do you do for a living? - I'm a GP.- Oh, are you?
0:01:45 > 0:01:49- Yes.- Where do you do that?- In Northwich, in Cheshire.- Brilliant.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51What do you do with any precious spare time?
0:01:51 > 0:01:53I read an awful lot.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Rather conveniently, Graham, you're particularly keen
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- on books, aren't you?- Yes.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00A few years ago, when moving house,
0:02:00 > 0:02:02I decided to try and sell a few I had spare,
0:02:02 > 0:02:06and found it went quite well, and I thought I'd try it full-time
0:02:06 > 0:02:09and make a bit of money. So that's what I do for a living now.
0:02:09 > 0:02:14That's rather fun. You obviously love your books, what's the big tip of the moment with paperback books?
0:02:14 > 0:02:17It varies, depends what's out of print,
0:02:17 > 0:02:21but Paul Gallico, the American writer, that's often...
0:02:21 > 0:02:24You can pick those up fairly cheaply, and sell them on at a profit.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29Well, there's a tip. Thanks for that, and very good luck today.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- Thank you.- Now, the blues. Ernie,
0:02:31 > 0:02:35- you've been married for 52 years? - Yes.- How did you first meet?
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Well, I was in the Navy, I was home on one leave,
0:02:38 > 0:02:41and a friend of mine who was in the Army was home together,
0:02:41 > 0:02:45so we was going out together. And as I came out of the house,
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- there was these two girls on the other side of the road...- Oh, yes.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52..seemed to be having trouble. Theresa had got a puncture.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- Being the gentleman I am... - You'd put the nails on the road first...(!)
0:02:55 > 0:02:58I repaired it for her... I repaired it for her!
0:02:58 > 0:03:01And then we invited them to come down to play golf,
0:03:01 > 0:03:06- which was quite handy, cos they caddied for us! - Brilliant.- And that's how we met!
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- You had a puncture, you had a game of golf and free caddying?- Yes!
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Well, it sounds like a marriage made in heaven to me!
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Theresa, is there anything you like to collect?
0:03:16 > 0:03:20Yes, I like to collect Royal memorabilia,
0:03:20 > 0:03:23little tiny, lovely little handbags...
0:03:23 > 0:03:28- But you're also a talented writer. - Well, I wouldn't put it like that, but...
0:03:28 > 0:03:33I entered a competition once, and wrote a poem about sausages, and won a nice little trophy.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- Sausages?- Yes! - Is that the trophy?- Yes.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Well, that's brilliant, isn't it?
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- He's also got a bow tie on. - He has got a bow tie on.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45But thank goodness he doesn't have a moustache!
0:03:45 > 0:03:48I've got a little poem here about a certain bow tie.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49You've written one about me?
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Have you noticed Tim's bow tie?
0:03:51 > 0:03:56- Cheeky and charming, like his eyes.- Ooh!
0:03:56 > 0:03:57I wonder who's the lucky girl
0:03:57 > 0:04:01to make Tim's bow tie twist and twirl...
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Dirty beasts!
0:04:03 > 0:04:05This is a family show!
0:04:06 > 0:04:10- Anyway, the money moment. £300. There you go, £300.- Thank you.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12You know the rules, your experts await,
0:04:12 > 0:04:15and off you go, and very, very good luck.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17So will it be the bookish reds,
0:04:17 > 0:04:21or the poetry-loving blues who make the grade today?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Catherine Southon is making sure
0:04:24 > 0:04:27the reds play by the book.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31And the blues better watch their P's and Q's with James Braxton.
0:04:34 > 0:04:35I like the look of that.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38I like the colour. Ooh, that's lovely.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40- What have you got there? - I'm not sure.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41If we just open it up, let's see...
0:04:41 > 0:04:44- we've got ourselves a little watch.- It's very neat.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- Why did you go for this? - The colour, it's nice and bright,
0:04:47 > 0:04:51and it contrasts to the rest of the stuff on the stand.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53- Do you like it?- The case is lovely.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57- I love the colour...- Yes.- ..it's a really nice, good vivid red,
0:04:57 > 0:05:00obviously, it's lovely snakeskin. Never heard of that name before,
0:05:00 > 0:05:05I have to say... "Laco 17 Jewels." I guess that means 17 jewelled movement.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Let's have a look around... Here we are.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11"US." It's obviously an United States of America make.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13It'd be really nice if it was an English watch,
0:05:13 > 0:05:16but...nevertheless, we have got a nice case.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- What do you think? - It seems very tactile, it's lovely.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23I mean, I've certainly never seen anything like it before.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25- It was £60 on the ticket. - Right.- Any good?
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- What do you think it'd make? - It may be slightly high.
0:05:28 > 0:05:33If we could get that down a bit, maybe £40 - £50, we should make a profit on that.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Try and get it for a little bit less. Be mean.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39- Tell them we've no money and see what you can do! Good luck.- We'll try.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42They trousered the watch for £55.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47But will it be a profitable purchase or a waste of time?
0:05:47 > 0:05:50- What do you think about this, Ernie? - It is very nice, I like that, yeah.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- I think it's lovely.- It is, yeah.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54- I tell you what we'll do.- What?
0:05:54 > 0:05:56- MOBILE PHONE RINGS - Hello?
0:05:56 > 0:05:57Hello, James.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Hello, Theresa.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Can you come and find us, cos we've found something very interesting?
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Yeah, certainly.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Why have you beckoned me over?
0:06:11 > 0:06:15I've just put down a kettle for... What's this?
0:06:15 > 0:06:18It certainly looks like Mickey, but what is it?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21It's a Mickey Mouse telephone from the '70s.
0:06:21 > 0:06:22I used to work for BT,
0:06:22 > 0:06:26and when we went public in the... '70-something, I can't remember now,
0:06:26 > 0:06:30we brought all these unusual phones out
0:06:30 > 0:06:33and Mickey was one of the first we brought out.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34Where's the handset?
0:06:34 > 0:06:37In his rucksack, I see.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41So, Tyco. And actually made in Hong Kong. My word.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43The crucial thing is, what's the price?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- £29.- £29.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49And, you know, are you happy, Ernie,
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- about spending £29 on this? - What do you think?
0:06:52 > 0:06:56- Would it make a profit?- I haven't a clue. It's not my area of expertise.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00Mickey Mouse is a fine fellow, isn't he? But let's get it at a low price,
0:07:00 > 0:07:05- and see if we make a profit. - Well, she's the one who can do the bargaining, believe you me!
0:07:06 > 0:07:09No need to phone a friend on this one.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13Theresa got the dog and bone for a mouse-sized £15.
0:07:16 > 0:07:21- Catherine?- Yes?- We found this. - Ooh, he's adorable!
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- He's lovely, isn't he?- Why did you go for him?- He's just gorgeous,
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- his face is lovely.- Silly question, really, cos he's so lovely!
0:07:28 > 0:07:33- Yes.- Oh, I love him! Let me tell you something about him, because he's really rather smart.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- He's not an English bear... - Right.- ..he's actually Austrian.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40This bear's actually made by Fecta. Fecta was a partnership,
0:07:40 > 0:07:43there were two people making these bears
0:07:43 > 0:07:45at home in their small little cottage.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48They became so popular that, in time, a couple of years later,
0:07:48 > 0:07:52they opened a factory and began producing thousands of these bears.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- Right.- I can see why he appealed to you,
0:07:55 > 0:07:57because he has got a lovely character and nice mouth.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01What else was it that you went for?
0:08:01 > 0:08:03- I...I think he looks loved. - Did he shout out at you?
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- "Come and buy me!" - He did, yeah.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09You're not saying much, Graham! I know it is a bit of a girly thing,
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- a bit of a mummy thing.- Well, I don't want to look too soft!
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- What do you think?- I like it. I think it's...- Have a little feel.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18I don't know if we'll make anything,
0:08:18 > 0:08:21because it's so old and a bit worn, but...we'll see.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Don't worry about that. I mean, there's...
0:08:23 > 0:08:27teddy bear collectors everywhere, and they buy them worn.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- They're not worried about that, it adds to the character, so don't worry.- OK.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35What worries me more, is the fact that the pads have been replaced.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39If you just look onto the paws here, you can see that these are replacement.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42They probably would have originally been velvet.
0:08:42 > 0:08:47- How much are they actually asking for this?- They were asking 88,
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- but we've actually bought him. - I was going to say, "were" asking?
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Yeah, we bought him. We bought him for 50.
0:08:52 > 0:08:57- I don't think that's too bad. - Good.- I think you might have got yourself a bargain there.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- Great.- Excellent.- I'd like to see it at auction...
0:09:00 > 0:09:04probably with an estimate of £50 to £80, and hope it does quite well.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08But there's more bargains to be had! Come on, let's get hunting!
0:09:08 > 0:09:10£50 spent on ted.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14A cute route to profit, or an unbearably high price?
0:09:14 > 0:09:15James...
0:09:15 > 0:09:17What do you think about this?
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Theresa... Oh, wow!
0:09:19 > 0:09:21What a splendid tray!
0:09:21 > 0:09:25Now, the person who'd have a Mickey Mouse phone in their home
0:09:25 > 0:09:27would have this as well, wouldn't they?
0:09:27 > 0:09:29- With Mickey on it!- Probably with Mickey on it.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Very nice. Do you know where it comes from?
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Well, I had an idea it came from Italy,
0:09:35 > 0:09:37because when we was in Venice,
0:09:37 > 0:09:39I saw something similar to these in the shops there.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41You're dead right, Ernie.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- Do you like it, Theresa?- I think it's lovely, I love all this
0:09:44 > 0:09:48- inlaid work.- Mainly, it's southern Italian...
0:09:48 > 0:09:54marquetry, and it's mainly centred around the town of Sorento.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58- This is generally referred to... the lighter wood's referred to as boxwood...- Yeah.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01..and the stained wood, especially green,
0:10:01 > 0:10:04is normally a sycamore, which is known as harewood.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05Hopefully it's not plastic.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09- And do you think there's any profit in this?- Ah...
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- At £28, Ernie... No.- Oh.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- Theresa, you'll have to do your magic work again! - Yes, I'll get that down.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20I want £10 or £15 from you, OK?
0:10:20 > 0:10:24I think this is going to look great in a home in Cheshire.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Fantastic!
0:10:26 > 0:10:28They got the tray for a mere £15.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31So let's hope it gives them something to smile about at auction.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34After shopping time is over,
0:10:34 > 0:10:37each team's left-over LOLLY
0:10:37 > 0:10:39will be given to their expert
0:10:39 > 0:10:43to scurry around the fair, to find some excellent object
0:10:43 > 0:10:47with which he may boost, or deflate, the team's profits
0:10:47 > 0:10:50when they're sold at auction. Do you know something?
0:10:50 > 0:10:53You can't lick this left-over lolly. Mm!
0:10:53 > 0:10:57- I think we've bought some good things.- Oh, I see, you two just sit there and relax,
0:10:57 > 0:11:00and I'll go off and do all the hard work for you(!)
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Well, I know you wanted a bit of silver...
0:11:02 > 0:11:06- What do you think about that?- I really like that.- It's a nice piece.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09It's quite plain, which I really like, because I think it's...
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- it's classy, isn't it? - It's not too fussy.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- Plain but classy.- I think you hit the nail on the head there!
0:11:15 > 0:11:19It's not highly decorative, but it has a few lovely qualities.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23Graham, you like it, but would you actually buy it yourself?
0:11:23 > 0:11:27I would worry about cleaning it, but apart from that...
0:11:27 > 0:11:30I could see us having that. How old is it?
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Hallmark is actually dating it, it's got the date letter C...
0:11:33 > 0:11:35so that's telling us it's 1927.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39It's actually got the anchor as well, which tells us that it's made in Birmingham.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42I just think it's a good, classic, elegant piece.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- It's got that lovely weight to it...- Yeah.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48..it's not thin, it's got a good quality to it.
0:11:48 > 0:11:53It was up for £147. Bit of a strange amount, I know,
0:11:53 > 0:11:57but I've been talking and dealing, and I can get it for £95.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- That's a good reduction! - That is a good reduction.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04- What do you think it will make at auction?- I'd like to think we could get a bit of profit on this,
0:12:04 > 0:12:08just because it is slightly unusual, the handle is unusual,
0:12:08 > 0:12:10and this lovely little detail under the spout.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14So I would like to think we would get £100 plus.
0:12:14 > 0:12:15- You've convinced me!- Yes!
0:12:15 > 0:12:21Well, with £95 paid, they'll be hoping to cream off a profit with that one.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25James, Ernie, come and look at these.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Very smart, aren't they?
0:12:27 > 0:12:29I think so.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Do you know their purpose? Everything had a purpose.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34- Butter knives.- Butter knives.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37For cream teas, scones, crumpets.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Not necessarily just for the butter.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42They were colloquially known as tea knives.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44What's the material there?
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- Well, it's silver. - It's silver, is it?
0:12:47 > 0:12:49I think it says stainless, myself.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51I think you're both right, really.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54So the blade is stainless steel,
0:12:54 > 0:12:57and this is not solid silver, you're right.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58It's a case, a sort of silver case
0:12:58 > 0:13:02and then they fill it up with a hot resin,
0:13:02 > 0:13:06and that secures it. What's the date? It says 1932, doesn't it?
0:13:06 > 0:13:12- 1932.- 1932, yeah.- Do you think they'll make money at the auction? - How much are they priced at?
0:13:12 > 0:13:14- 34.- 34.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17You've really got to get it a lot lower than that.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Sort of thing at auction, we work on them making
0:13:20 > 0:13:24- about £5 to £10 a box. - I'll really have to... - So there's a disparity there.- Yeah.
0:13:24 > 0:13:29So go off and bargain, and get the price down as near as £10.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30Right, I'll try and do that, then.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34It's not a matter of trying, Theresa, it's needing.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36You're right again, James.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Getting the knives for a tenner was a tall order,
0:13:41 > 0:13:43but they clinched the deal for £28.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Time's up!
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Let's take a butcher's...
0:13:47 > 0:13:49at what the teams bought.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54The reds are hoping to clock up a profit
0:13:54 > 0:13:58with their American watch, bought for £55.
0:13:58 > 0:14:03They're playing the cute and cuddly card with the Austrian bear,
0:14:03 > 0:14:05bought for £50.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09And are hoping the £95 spent on the silver cream jug
0:14:09 > 0:14:11will leave them minted at auction.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15The blues are HANGING ON for a profit,
0:14:15 > 0:14:19with the Mickey Mouse phone, bought for £15.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21But will they be celebrating
0:14:21 > 0:14:26when their £15 drinks tray goes under the hammer? Yeuch!
0:14:26 > 0:14:30Or could the £28 spent on the silver handled butter knives
0:14:30 > 0:14:32slice into their profits?
0:14:45 > 0:14:47So Charlotte and Graham, you spent £200.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49- We did.- Very respectable.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51You gave 100 to Catherine, what did she spend it on?
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Well...
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Ta-dah!
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Now, you may well ask, as indeed I did!
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Graham, I thought of you, because Charlotte and I
0:15:01 > 0:15:04pretty much had our own say when we went round the fair...
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- We did!- ..and you were, sort of, standing back. Now, I know
0:15:07 > 0:15:10that you're a book dealer, and this is
0:15:10 > 0:15:14- a silver bookmark. - I think it's very nice.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18- I've never seen anything like it before.- It's actually Birmingham,
0:15:18 > 0:15:23- it's hallmarked 1890, and it has a mother-of-pearl handle. - Charlotte will love this.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27- I love it, it's gorgeous. - It's quite dinky.- Yeah. How much did you pay for it?
0:15:27 > 0:15:30I actually paid £40, which I didn't think was too bad.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31I mean, I have to say,
0:15:31 > 0:15:35I'm not hugely experienced on these, so I don't know exactly how much
0:15:35 > 0:15:37they would make at auction, but I'd hope
0:15:37 > 0:15:40it would make, around, sort of, 55, that sort of price.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44- Yeah.- Very good.- Would people collect this kind of thing?- I hope so!
0:15:44 > 0:15:46And I hope they're here today!
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Shall we just have a little look and see how it works, Graham?
0:15:49 > 0:15:54- Because it's an oddball design, you're quite right. Looks like a trowel...- Yes.
0:15:54 > 0:15:59..with a mother-of-pearl handle. You simply slip this little trowel in,
0:15:59 > 0:16:01and that tongue would grip the piece of paper
0:16:01 > 0:16:05and...you'd know where you were next time round.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08- Yes.- Which I think is rather brilliant, isn't it?- I think so,
0:16:08 > 0:16:10- I think it's a very pretty object.- £40 paid.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Theresa and Ernie, you've spent 58 miserable pounds.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17£242 went to James
0:16:17 > 0:16:21to buy you a bonus buy. Let's have a look at it.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25- Or, them...- I have an undying love for these particular vases.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29This sort of case glass, so you get three colours.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Green and yellow, can I hand that to you?
0:16:31 > 0:16:35- Oh, yes.- And Ernie, you've got a red and yellow...
0:16:35 > 0:16:38I've got a red and yellow. I thought it might make...
0:16:38 > 0:16:41- If you just hold that, an attractive garniture of three.- Yes.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45- A garniture of three.- How much did you pay for them?- What do you say?
0:16:45 > 0:16:47I paid £105 for the three.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50105!
0:16:50 > 0:16:52You see, your money's safe with me!
0:16:52 > 0:16:54- Yes.- What do you think of them?
0:16:54 > 0:16:58I think they're very nice, I love the colours, and I think,
0:16:58 > 0:17:02- with the light shining through... - Don't put them somewhere dark.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06- What do you think?- Well, I'm sorry, but I disagree.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08- They just don't do anything for me, you know?- Really?
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- No.- Well, we'll see what happens.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15- Sell your first three...- Yes. - ..see what position you're in then,
0:17:15 > 0:17:18and then decide if you're going to run with this or not, OK?
0:17:28 > 0:17:30So, Charlotte and Graham, how are you feeling?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- Terrified. Quite nervous! - I mean, how about you Graham?
0:17:33 > 0:17:36- More hopeful than terrified. - That's what we like!
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- He's very solid, your old man, isn't he?- Yes, yes.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Anyway, let's quickly run through the lots.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45The snakeskin case Movado type watch, you found that, Graham,
0:17:45 > 0:17:49which was great. Paid £55. £30 to £50 is his estimate.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- But it may do OK.- Yes.- It's a nice little thing.- It is a good thing.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56- Charlotte, you found the bear.- Yes. - Lovely cuddly bear.- We like that.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- 40 to 60 is the estimate on that. You paid 50.- We paid 50, yes.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02So that's kind of on the cusp. And the little cream jug
0:18:02 > 0:18:06- was a joint effort, I think. - Yes.- 55 to 60 is his estimate,
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- which is a really tight estimate. - It is a very tight estimate.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13And £95 was paid, so there could be... If there's any holes in this at all,
0:18:13 > 0:18:17it will be that cream jug, in my opinion. But if the worst comes to the worst,
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- you've got that lovely bookmark to fall back on...- Yes.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24- ..which you'd really like to own yourself, wouldn't you?- Yes, we would!
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Anyway, fine. So, first up is going to be your watch, Graham,
0:18:28 > 0:18:29and it's coming now.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33Next lot is 200, a lady's travelling watch, in a red snakeskin case.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35There we are. Pretty little item there.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Lot 200, start me at £30, please.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39£30. 30 bid, take two.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41At £30, 32, 35...
0:18:41 > 0:18:43We need some more bids here.
0:18:43 > 0:18:4635, at £35. 38...
0:18:46 > 0:18:49and 40, 42... 45, 48...
0:18:49 > 0:18:5150, 55,
0:18:51 > 0:18:5360, 65,
0:18:53 > 0:18:5460, in the corner.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56£60, any more now? £60.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00All done now at £60.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04- £60 is £5 profit. - We just squeezed in!
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Well done, Graham. That's all I can say. Now, your little bear.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Austrian bear by Fecta.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11There we are...
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Lot 201, the Fecta teddy bear, lot 201.
0:19:15 > 0:19:16Where do you wanna be, £50?
0:19:16 > 0:19:1850, 40?
0:19:18 > 0:19:20- Come on, he's so sweet!- Come on!
0:19:21 > 0:19:2340 bid... 5, 50, 5,
0:19:23 > 0:19:25at 55. Any more now at 55?
0:19:25 > 0:19:27All done then at 55.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31£55, that's fantastic! Plus £5 on that.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35- Now the cream jug. - 1927, there we are.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36What is it, £40 worth?
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Start me there. £40...
0:19:39 > 0:19:41£40 worth.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43- No!- It's gone very quiet.
0:19:43 > 0:19:44I'm bid £30 then, take two.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48- At 32, 35, 38... 38 in the doorway.- Come on!
0:19:48 > 0:19:50£38, that's its money. 38, are you all done? 38?
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Any more now at 38?
0:19:52 > 0:19:55All done, 38. On estimate, then, at £38.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59- £38.- Oh, dear.- I don't believe that.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01You are minus £47.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03- You were doing so well!- So what are you going to do?
0:20:03 > 0:20:07- Are you going to go with the bookmark?- Oh, yes!- Yes.- Definitely.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09- I don't blame you. I think I would too.- Yes.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- And here it comes.- Next up is 206,
0:20:12 > 0:20:15it's a silver bookmark in the form of a trowel, Birmingham 1890.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18pretty little thing there, should be £20.
0:20:18 > 0:20:2120 bid, take two. At £20, 22,
0:20:21 > 0:20:2325, 28, 30, 32...
0:20:23 > 0:20:2735... 38...
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- 35 at the back.- Oh, a little bit more!- £35 at the back of the room.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Any more now? 35, and selling.
0:20:32 > 0:20:3635... £35, so that's minus £5.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38I don't believe it!
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- Theresa and Ernie.- Yeah.- Do you know how the reds got on?- No.- No idea.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56No idea, well, that's fantastic, actually.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59- Mickey Mouse, you're a cheeky one, aren't you?- Mickey Mouse!
0:20:59 > 0:21:03£15 only, you paid for that. 15 to 25 is the estimate,
0:21:03 > 0:21:05- which is fair enough, isn't it? - That's not bad, really.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Not bad, really, no, not bad. You should get a profit on that.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12- Er, your...your drinks tray, Ern, right.- Yes.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15I'm afraid, I'm not very often that I'm rude about anything,
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- but I have been pretty rude about your drinks tray.- Right.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21It just touches a nerve with me, that stuff.
0:21:21 > 0:21:26- Would it have been better if I'd had some drinks on it?- Now you're talking my language!
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Anyway, you paid £15, he's put £10 to £20 on it,
0:21:28 > 0:21:31you'll probably make a profit, and I'll look really stupid.
0:21:31 > 0:21:36But I have been pretty crabby about that, for which I apologise, but it is my view.
0:21:36 > 0:21:41The case set of knives, you found those, Theresa. £28, you paid for those.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43- He's put about 10, £12 on it.- Oh, no!
0:21:43 > 0:21:46- So there are one or two holes there, I have to tell you.- Yeah.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50But if the worst comes to the worst, you can always fall back on James' vases.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53£105 paid, and there's a chance there
0:21:53 > 0:21:55that he could dig you out of trouble, right?
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- My money's on James! - Your money's on James. Yes...
0:21:58 > 0:22:03- We'll see!- ..that's...that's great! - No comment!- Very good, Ernie!
0:22:03 > 0:22:07First up is going to be your Mickey Mouse telephone, and here it comes.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10The next lot is 225, the Mickey Mouse phone.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13There we are, what a good fun item that is.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17Lot 225. £1,000 for this(!)
0:22:19 > 0:22:20£100, then.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23It's quite rare, I believe.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26£20. How about 20?
0:22:26 > 0:22:2920's bid, take two. And £20 is bid.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32At 20, at £20, any more now at 20?
0:22:32 > 0:22:36All done at £20, at £20.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Brilliant! £20, that is fantastic!
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- Thumbs up to Mickey!- Plus £5. Well done, darling, that's great!
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Now, look out, here comes the drinks tray.
0:22:45 > 0:22:50The Italian marquetry drinks tray.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Stunning piece, I'm bid 50, 60,
0:22:52 > 0:22:5470, 80, 90 and a pound... Is there 2, now?
0:22:54 > 0:22:57At a pound bid. At a pound, any more now?
0:22:57 > 0:22:59A pound the only bid, take two?
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Surely 2, 3, 4...£4 here.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Any more? It's worth more than £4 as well.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07At £4. 5, 6, 7,
0:23:07 > 0:23:098, 9, 10, 12...
0:23:09 > 0:23:1314, 16, 18, £16 here.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Any more now? 16... £16.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Are you all finished here? At £16.
0:23:18 > 0:23:23What a brilliant auctioneer! £16, that is brilliant. Well done!
0:23:23 > 0:23:27Here we go, plus £1. Well, I eat my words!
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Here we go. Now, the butter knives.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Stainless steel bladed tea knives
0:23:31 > 0:23:33with silver handles, from Sheffield, 1932.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35And £10 for these?
0:23:37 > 0:23:40£10 for these. 10 bid, take 12. 14, 16,
0:23:40 > 0:23:4318, 20.. 18, front row, £18.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Any more on these at £18? Are you all done at 18?
0:23:46 > 0:23:48- Any more at £18?- Come on!
0:23:49 > 0:23:53£18, bad luck. You're minus £10 on that.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55You were plus six, you're now minus four.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- That could be a winning score.- Yeah?
0:23:58 > 0:24:01It could be a winning score, right? Minus four could be a winning score.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Are you going with these glass vases, Ernie, or not?
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- I'm not that sure.- We're on the show, we're having a go.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10- Yeah.- You're on the show, you're having a go!
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- Yeah.- Well, that's a very good title for a new programme!
0:24:13 > 0:24:16We're on the show, we're having a go, you are minus £4,
0:24:16 > 0:24:20- you're going with the bonus buy... - We are.- ..and it's coming up now.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24- How exciting!- Three, or garniture of three,
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Italian...stylish...
0:24:26 > 0:24:29very stylish Murano Seguso vases there.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32What about £50? Please.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35- 50, gosh.- £50...
0:24:35 > 0:24:37£30 then...
0:24:39 > 0:24:42- Ten quid each?!- I've never heard my showroom so quiet.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46- £20.- Oh, no...!- £20 for these.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50- No, I've got a terrible feeling. - ..I don't think, are they?
0:24:50 > 0:24:52- £20.- I don't think he's going to get even £20.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56Well, they're without reserve. £10.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58- Come on, five?- £10, £10...
0:24:58 > 0:25:0012? What took you so long?
0:25:00 > 0:25:05- CROWD LAUGHS - 15? £12 over here.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08£12 here. £12... Is there 15?
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Come on. £12 for these, at £12.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16£12. That is minus...
0:25:16 > 0:25:20- £93.- Yeah.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23That is minus £93.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Minus £93...
0:25:26 > 0:25:31and you had minus four before, that means you are minus 97 smackers.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Oh, we nearly did the ton!
0:25:35 > 0:25:38You nearly did the ton! Well, I tell you what,
0:25:38 > 0:25:41you're on the show, we're having a go...
0:25:41 > 0:25:44You've been on the show and now you've gotta go!
0:25:54 > 0:25:58Well, well, well, what an extraordinary turn of events, isn't it?
0:25:58 > 0:26:02That you should gamble or not gamble. The proof is going to be shown today.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05- Have you any idea of what the scores are between the two of you?- No.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09Well, I tell you, if you did know, you'd be bursting into tears,
0:26:09 > 0:26:13because sadly the runners up, and I'm not sure they should be the runners up,
0:26:13 > 0:26:17- are the blues.- Oh, no! - I'm so sorry about this.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21You were actually only minus £4, and then you went and did this bonus-buy larky,
0:26:21 > 0:26:25and then you finished up, all of a sudden, somehow minus 97.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30- Minus 97 is not a great score, I have to say.- Dear, oh dear.- Right,
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Anyway, there it is. It's happened...!
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Well, I'm not pointing any fingers. But I have to tell you,
0:26:36 > 0:26:41you have been great sports about this, you've gambled, and I'm afraid you failed.
0:26:41 > 0:26:47But the victors today, congratulations, minus £52,
0:26:47 > 0:26:50that's all you were, all right? And it was a miserable result, really,
0:26:50 > 0:26:54- cos you made profits... - We did.- ..that wretched cream jug let you down,
0:26:54 > 0:26:59- and I don't understand why the bookmark didn't do better.- No.- But you've come up stinking of roses.
