0:00:02 > 0:00:05Today we're at the Elsecar Heritage Centre,
0:00:05 > 0:00:08just outside Barnsley in South Yorkshire, and inside
0:00:08 > 0:00:12there are 90 dealers with their stands crammed with goodies,
0:00:12 > 0:00:14so our teams should have plenty of choice.
0:00:38 > 0:00:44Each team have £300 and an expert to help them buy three items.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47They've got an hour to do it, and if they make a profit
0:00:47 > 0:00:50when they sell later at auction, they get to keep it.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53What could be simpler!
0:00:57 > 0:01:01So, for the Reds today we have married couple Jeanette and Dennis,
0:01:01 > 0:01:06welcome, and for the Blues, fianced Dale and Danielle.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Welcome to Bargain Hunt. Very, very nice to see you.
0:01:08 > 0:01:13- Now, Dennis, you've been in the services, right?- Yeah, 25 years.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- Where did you serve? - I served in Cyprus, Ireland,
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- Belizes, Singapore... Mainly Germany. - You've been all round!
0:01:19 > 0:01:24- Are you and Jeanette going to be any good at this bargain hunting malarkey?- Yeah. We love antiques,
0:01:24 > 0:01:27we're competitive, so I think we'll be in with a shout.
0:01:27 > 0:01:32- Who is the number one brain with the antiques?- I'm not saying. - You're not saying?
0:01:32 > 0:01:34- No!- It would be you, wouldn't it!
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Why are you gonna be so good at this, then?
0:01:36 > 0:01:41I think I've inherited an eye for an antique and a bargain from my mum,
0:01:41 > 0:01:43so hopefully that'll stand me in good stead.
0:01:43 > 0:01:48- But antiques are just a hobby for you?- Yes.- Because you've got a demanding job?
0:01:48 > 0:01:50- Yeah, demanding but enjoyable. - What do you do?
0:01:50 > 0:01:54I'm a Parenting Support Coordinator and I'm a Mediator as well.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- What does all that mean? - Neighbours who are feuding,
0:01:57 > 0:02:01mediation between victims and offenders...
0:02:01 > 0:02:02you name it, I mediate it.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06- You're gonna be very good at this. - Hopefully!- Anyway, now the Blues.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Dale, why are you so keen to be on Bargain Hunt?
0:02:08 > 0:02:13Well, actually it was Danielle's idea to come on Bargain Hunt.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15I've seen it a few times, in America.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19- So what were you doing in America?- I was teaching in America for about six years.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22I moved back into England in January.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26- Danielle, are you enjoying your time in the UK?- Yes, definitely.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30I came over in January, when Dale and I got engaged.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32And what are you getting up to here?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35I don't dance, as everybody else in the family does.
0:02:35 > 0:02:41However, I dabble in the corporate hospitality side, so I'm a kind of glorified party planner really.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44I book wedding receptions for them.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48But like Jeanette on the Red Team, you've got a family connection with antiques.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Yes, definitely. My mum's been dabbling for about ten years.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55It was from a hobby to an obsession, and now she's owned a business
0:02:55 > 0:02:58for almost three years now and she's been very successful.
0:02:58 > 0:03:03- As an antique dealer?- Yep. - So it's kind of in your blood, hopefully?- Well, I guess!
0:03:03 > 0:03:08- What do you collect? - I actually collect shot glasses. I have a collection of over 600.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11The record is somewhere about 5,000. I don't know if I'll ever get there!
0:03:11 > 0:03:15You're young, you'll get there! It'll be fine! Well, what fun, anyway.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17- Now, the money moment.- Yes, please.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21Here comes your £300. 300 smackers. You know the rules.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25Your experts await and off you go, and very, very, very good luck!
0:03:25 > 0:03:28So, who will bring in the bacon today? Will it be the Reds
0:03:28 > 0:03:30or will it be the Blues?
0:03:30 > 0:03:36And to help our teams through the day, we have our two experts.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40Always with an eye on the bargain, Anita Manning with the Reds.
0:03:40 > 0:03:45And serving up spoonfuls of advice for the Blues, it's Thomas Plant.
0:03:45 > 0:03:50- Anita, what do you think of that? - Ah, that's very nice.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52It's only £20. It looks...
0:03:52 > 0:03:56- silver!- That's all right, isn't it? - Do you know what it is, Dennis?
0:03:56 > 0:04:01- I don't, no. It looks nice. - Do you like strawberries and cream? - I certainly do!
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Well, this is a sugar sifter.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07- That's cracking, that. - This top part separates here...
0:04:07 > 0:04:11- put your sugar in there. - So what year would that be, then?
0:04:11 > 0:04:15If we look on here, we can see a hallmark.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19Now we have our little iron which tells us that it is silver.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23We have a little anchor mark which tells us that it was assayed
0:04:23 > 0:04:28in Birmingham, and this little letter here we can refer to our book
0:04:28 > 0:04:32- and find out exactly the year that it was made.- Right.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35I think it would be round about the 1930s.
0:04:35 > 0:04:40- It's a Victorian style, but in the region of 1930s. - £20. That's not bad, is it?
0:04:40 > 0:04:43It's also in good condition, and I'm very happy about that.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46I think we've got a chance here,
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- but go and see if we can get a couple of pounds off! - I certainly will.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52With a little sweet talking,
0:04:52 > 0:04:56Dennis sifted £2 off the price and bought it for £18.
0:04:57 > 0:05:02Dale, Danielle, I've found something really quite special, but there is a bit of a catch.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- There always is, isn't there?! - Never a free lunch!
0:05:05 > 0:05:09Now if we buy this, we're not going to have a great deal left,
0:05:09 > 0:05:12but I'm sure we can find something. To start off with,
0:05:12 > 0:05:15it's a jar and cover, and how old do you think it looks?
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Maybe 1950s or something.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21- Really?- Yeah.- If I said to you it was 1900, what would you think?
0:05:21 > 0:05:22- Oh, wow!- 1908...
0:05:22 > 0:05:26- so it's got a lot of age to it.- It has a very modern look and design.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28If I turn it over, you can see on here
0:05:28 > 0:05:31it helpfully tells me Royal Lancastrian.
0:05:31 > 0:05:36It's by Pilkington's and it's got a monogram of a shield and a big "R"
0:05:36 > 0:05:39and the "R" turns into sort of a big slope to it.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43It's a pottery, and it's very high-fired, so it's a lustre.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46- It's got this great sheen to it, hasn't it?- Yeah.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48- Great colours as well.- Absolutely!
0:05:48 > 0:05:52So this is made in Britain at the height of the art pottery movement by somebody called Richard Joyce,
0:05:52 > 0:05:56- that's what that shield and the "R" is.- OK.
0:05:56 > 0:06:01- Now, this is on at £255.- That is a lot, since we only have three!
0:06:01 > 0:06:05- Well, I have got it down already to £200.- 200?- Yeah.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07If this came into my auction house,
0:06:07 > 0:06:12- I wouldn't be surprised if I put it in at £250 to £350.- Wow! OK.
0:06:12 > 0:06:18I haven't seen a jar and cover, a bowl and cover by Royal Lancastrian
0:06:18 > 0:06:22- by Richard Joyce for a very long time, so are you guys happy? - Yeah, definitely.
0:06:22 > 0:06:27- See what we can get. As long as they'll take the £200, I think it'll be a really good idea.- Absolutely!
0:06:32 > 0:06:35I see you have an eye for quality!
0:06:35 > 0:06:39- It's nice, isn't it?- Isn't that lovely! Do you know what it is?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41- It's Moorcroft, isn't it? - Moorcroft.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Moorcroft are a wonderful factory.
0:06:43 > 0:06:48Started in the late 1800s and they are still going strong.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Tell me what you like about it.
0:06:50 > 0:06:57I like the colours. I think they're really nice and I think it's a nice sort of neat, elegant shape as well.
0:06:57 > 0:07:02Right. Now green background, and the pattern is anemone,
0:07:02 > 0:07:05so you have these wonderful flowers,
0:07:05 > 0:07:09and if we see this raised slip here,
0:07:09 > 0:07:14it's almost like pipe-lining, and that's typical of Moorcroft.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18- I like that.- It's a functional item and it's a beautiful item.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- How much?- £195.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24That is too much, that's too much!
0:07:24 > 0:07:29- Do you agree?- Yeah. I'd like to get something off that. - There's no mark on this.
0:07:29 > 0:07:34I think you have to... take a big slice from that.
0:07:34 > 0:07:39If you can get it in the region of 130-140, in that region,
0:07:39 > 0:07:42we have a strong chance. Do you think you could manage that?
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- I'm gonna certainly try. - Use the charm!- I will!
0:07:45 > 0:07:50Jeanette used all her charm and got the Moorcroft lamp for £150.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53That's £45 off! Clever girl!
0:07:54 > 0:07:57I'm looking at this in one of the cases
0:07:57 > 0:07:59and I didn't know if you kind of liked that?
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- It's not my cup of tea. - Cos of the flowers, right?
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- I don't do flowers.- Don't you do flowers?- I don't do flowers, no.
0:08:05 > 0:08:10- I'm very... I like... - Not even for your fiancee?- No!
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- Really?- They kind of die, I guess!
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- Oh, really? OK.- They don't last long.- Let's go back to the box.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19I found it. It looked really interesting,
0:08:19 > 0:08:24something that again... My mum has a shop in America and she sells a lot of paperweights.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26I've seen that kind of design in paperweights.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Like this cane design in here? You're quite right,
0:08:29 > 0:08:32cos it's very similar to the paperweight, but that's like...
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- a millefiori which is thousands of little canes.- Italian?- Yeah,
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Italian, yeah, and this is what we call a micro mosaic.
0:08:39 > 0:08:44I was worrying about the price. If you notice, it's £85 and we don't have a lot to work with.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47That'd only leave us with about £15, and that's not a lot.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51I would say this is probably worth about 60 quid, 60 to 80 quid, so...
0:08:51 > 0:08:55I know we don't have a lot of money, so I really tried to give us some extra spending cash,
0:08:55 > 0:08:59- and she said that we could get it for £50.- That's brilliant! That's really good.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- Is that a good bargain? - That gives us £50 to play with.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- You can't spend that all cos you've got to leave a bit for me.- Yes, please.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- Just a little tincy, wincy bit. We'll go from there.- OK.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Now, let's catch up with the Reds.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- Jeanette, you have Royal Doulton in your collection?- I do, yes.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- And what do you think about that? - Is that Royal Doulton?
0:09:21 > 0:09:25- Yes, it is. It's Dupeton Stoneware. - And what is it for?
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Well, the interesting thing about this
0:09:28 > 0:09:30is this metal handle
0:09:30 > 0:09:34which swings around to unlock the lid.
0:09:34 > 0:09:39So, it would've been used to preserve something, perhaps tobacco.
0:09:39 > 0:09:44- And how old is it?- I would say it's around about the 1920s.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45I like that.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49Doulton is always a good seller because again we have quality.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53- How much is it?- Well, we have £55 on the ticket.- Not bad.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56That's not bad, but we really, to make a profit,
0:09:56 > 0:10:00we really do have to get that down, or I really need to get that down!
0:10:00 > 0:10:05- Well done!- But if I can get a tenner, fifteen pounds off it, I think we do have a chance.
0:10:05 > 0:10:06We're running out of time
0:10:06 > 0:10:10- so let's get the deal done. - Mm-hm. It's a good third item.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Anita was on fire...
0:10:14 > 0:10:17and got a smouldering ten pounds off the tobacco jar.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Third item, yeah? I thought I'd pick something this time.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24I went for something a bit more practical. I picked this up. It's silver...
0:10:24 > 0:10:28- I've been told silver always sells. - What is it?- It's a sugar shaker.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- OK. That makes sense. - Can I have a look?- Yeah.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33This is more for one's strawberries or raspberries.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- It's a posh sugar shaker. - Yes, it would be polished up
0:10:36 > 0:10:41and it's a copy of a Queen Anne shape and it is solid silver, yes, and you've got the hallmarks here.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45- Now these are my Troy scales here. - How convenient!
0:10:45 > 0:10:50So this is Troy, and we weigh silver in Troy ounces, and on here
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- we've got four ounces, four Troy ounces.- So what's that worth, then?
0:10:53 > 0:10:57- How much do you reckon an ounce of silver is?- Ooh, I don't know!
0:10:57 > 0:10:58Five pound.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02- Absolutely correct! Exactly right.- Pretty good.
0:11:02 > 0:11:07Silver scrap, to weigh it for selling for scrap, it's £5.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Now that's melted, so there's £20 worth of silver in that.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- How much is it?- Well, this is £42.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- Really?- It does take us to the very limit of our budget.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20- Leaves me with eight! - Only eight?!- However... However...
0:11:20 > 0:11:22I have it on good authority
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- that I can get this for £32...- Oh, right!
0:11:25 > 0:11:28..which will leave you with £18...
0:11:28 > 0:11:30- That's fine.- ..to surprise us with.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33I will do my very, very best.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39The hour's up. Cor! It doesn't half whiz by, doesn't it?
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Anyway, let's see what the Reds have bought.
0:11:42 > 0:11:47£18 paid, but will the sugar shaker bring our Reds a sweet profit?
0:11:47 > 0:11:50They forked out £150 for the Moorcroft lamp.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Let's just hope it will light up the auction room!
0:11:53 > 0:11:58The Royal Doulton tobacco jar doesn't come with a health warning,
0:11:58 > 0:12:02so let's hope it doesn't damage the Reds' profits.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Let's see what the Blues bought.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08A whopping £200 paid for the Lancastrian bowl.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Let's hope it has a lustrous future at the auction.
0:12:11 > 0:12:16Will the tiny, weeny pill box make a gigantic profit? Fingers crossed!
0:12:16 > 0:12:21And the Blues are hoping their sugar sifter will shift them some profits.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32Well, Hanson's Fine Art Auctions is really humming today, just on the
0:12:32 > 0:12:36outskirts of Derby, and here we are, with the proprietor, Charles Hanson.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38- Good to see you. - How are you?- Very well.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- Looking ever more youthful! - Well, thank you, I try to!
0:12:41 > 0:12:45Anyway, now Jeanette and Dennis went with this sugar shaker.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Solid silver. What do you make of it?
0:12:48 > 0:12:53Tim, I agree. It's a really good gauge, it's well-made in that sort of rich, George I style.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- What did they pay for it? - Shall I tell him?
0:12:56 > 0:12:57£18. What's your estimate?
0:12:57 > 0:13:01- Well, I'm amazed! Tim, I think we can almost treble that...- Really?
0:13:01 > 0:13:04On a good day, I could see it making £60.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06- That's absolutely super, isn't it?- Yes.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10I can't understand how they can only pay £18 for it, they did well.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13However, every upside has a downside,
0:13:13 > 0:13:16and we come into the Moorcroft lamp side.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18What can I say?
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- I hope it'll make between £50 and £70.- Yes, it might make it.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- I mean, that's a bit of a tempter at £50 to £70?- It is...yes.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27On a good day, 80-90, maybe £100.
0:13:27 > 0:13:32Well, you see they need to make £150. £150 is so out of sight.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- Yes, I think it is.- Isn't it?- Yes.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37That leaves them with this Doulton tobacco jar.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40It is what it is. It's salt glazed stoneware, it's all complete.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44- It's worth between £30 and £40. - OK. Great. Well, they paid £45.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48- If you think it's gonna bring that amount, that's fantastic. - Small lot I think.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51I think overall they're gonna need their bonus buy,
0:13:51 > 0:13:54so let's trot off and have a look at it.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Now, Jeanette and Dennis. How are you feeling?
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- Fit as a fiddle! - You had such a good time shopping?
0:14:00 > 0:14:05- Yes!- You had a real rave with Anita, and you spent £213, which is great.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09£87 of leftover lolly to Anita. What did she spend it on?
0:14:09 > 0:14:12- OK, let's have a look.- Ah!
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Jeanette loves the Gee-Gees.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20She is crazy about horses and the Palomino is the most
0:14:20 > 0:14:24beautiful of horses, so I couldn't resist this piece.
0:14:24 > 0:14:25Thank you.
0:14:25 > 0:14:30You're gonna take it by the mane and give it a handle. Cos if you're an expert on horses, you'll know
0:14:30 > 0:14:32whether that is anatomically correct. Yes, it's a stallion!
0:14:32 > 0:14:37- Am I right in thinking the lighter coloured ones are more collectable than the darker ones?- Yes.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39These were very popular
0:14:39 > 0:14:43and there were a lot of the made and often
0:14:43 > 0:14:49the price is determined by the rarity, so it's a fairly common one.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53I paid £45 for it. I think it's just about the right money.
0:14:53 > 0:14:59- You may make a little profit on it, but I think I bought it more because you liked horses!- You were swayed!
0:14:59 > 0:15:02We want it to make a profit, too, and quite frankly,
0:15:02 > 0:15:06this is a horsie part of the world. What do you think, Dennis?
0:15:06 > 0:15:09It's all right, it's not bad and it's a reasonable price.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11- And it's in good condition? - Good condition.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Well, well done, Anita.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17- She's predicting perhaps a small profit.- Small profit, yeah.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Now, for the benefit of the audience at home, let's find out
0:15:20 > 0:15:23what the auctioneer thinks about the bit of Beswick, or is it Bes-wick?
0:15:23 > 0:15:26- There you go, Charles.- Yes.
0:15:26 > 0:15:31- Your favourite!- Yes. There's a huge market for Beswick, Tim, and importantly, we check the condition.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35The tail is OK, the ears are OK, the legs are OK.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37It's not a particularly rare colourway,
0:15:37 > 0:15:40and the actual form isn't overly rare either.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43What amount would you get? Would you get 50 quid?
0:15:43 > 0:15:45On a really good day, it might make £50.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- Cross the line at 50 or more? - Correct.- It needs to...
0:15:48 > 0:15:53because I tell you, Anita Manning has acquired this for £45 and she sees a bit of a profit in it...
0:15:53 > 0:15:58and she's very canny, that girl, as you know. One of the canniest!
0:15:58 > 0:15:59Anyway, that's it for the Reds.
0:15:59 > 0:16:04Now, for the Blues. Their little Pilkington's pot, OK.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Dale and Danielle and the lovely Thomas Plant
0:16:07 > 0:16:09really rate this object.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12I wanna know what you think about it, Charles.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Well, Mr Wonnacott, I do too!
0:16:14 > 0:16:17I think it's just quality.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21It oozes style, it oozes that sort of forward-thinking
0:16:21 > 0:16:24fashion of the period for the Art Nouveau.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Richard Joyce, decorator, designer.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- It sits so well, it will sell very well.- How much?
0:16:30 > 0:16:34Tim, my auction guide price would be again... It's something which could
0:16:34 > 0:16:38race away with the Internet. Lots of collectors who've already emailed us
0:16:38 > 0:16:43wanting pictures of it, so I will see it hopefully starting off at about £150.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45- They paid £200.- Right. OK.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48- Do you wanna know what I think? - Tell me.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- I would be disappointed if it didn't bring £600.- Really?!
0:16:51 > 0:16:53But don't tell anybody, all right?
0:16:53 > 0:16:56It's what they call drop dead gorgeous.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00If all goes well, they are going to get one belting surprise with this.
0:17:00 > 0:17:05On the other hand, I could be wrong and it could be struggling at £200!
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- That's the fun of the game, though, isn't it?- It is.- Fantastic.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12Now, this pill box they paid £50 for and I cannot understand how they've paid that amount.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16- Decorative, but that's as far as it goes.- So how much do you think you'll get?
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Our guide price is between £15 and £25.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21£15 to £25, and they paid £50.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24So there's a fair old chance that a wodge of the Pilkington profit,
0:17:24 > 0:17:28if it makes a profit, will disappear as a result of that pill box.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Hopefully a fraction, though.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Anyway, the last piece is their sugar shaker.
0:17:33 > 0:17:38Isn't it extraordinary that both teams, out of all the things to buy, should've selected the sugar shaker?
0:17:38 > 0:17:43- What's your estimate on this? - The marks are rubbed on it, which will affect the value.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47- So what's your estimate on that one? - £30 to £40.- OK. They only paid £32.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51Anyway, I don't think they're gonna need their bonus buy at all,
0:17:51 > 0:17:55because they're gonna make a such splendido profit on the Pilkington, but...
0:17:55 > 0:17:58- I guess we'd better go and have a look at it.- Yes!- Yes.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02Now, Danielle and Dale, you had such a great time shopping today.
0:18:02 > 0:18:08- Definitely! - And, brilliantly, you spent £282, which is brilliantly good...
0:18:08 > 0:18:12leaving poor old Tom with only £18! So that's a bit of a challenge, isn't it?
0:18:12 > 0:18:15It was a great challenge, but it was good fun,
0:18:15 > 0:18:19- and I bought something for you, Danielle!- Ooh, yay! Oh!
0:18:19 > 0:18:23I know you collect them and I thought you'd like him, and might wish you a bit of luck.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28This is a frog, as you can see, and he's quite a lovable frog and he's
0:18:28 > 0:18:32made by a company called Wade, and Wade do those little Whimsy things.
0:18:32 > 0:18:38- I have those, too.- You have those, too, so if you're into Whimsys, you'll be into big frogs and maybe
0:18:38 > 0:18:42if you kiss him, he might turn into a prince, but you've got your prince already,
0:18:42 > 0:18:45so you don't need that! However, you need a profit.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47How much do you think it's gonna make us?
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Well, I've spent the whole £18, because it was tough!
0:18:50 > 0:18:55- I have to say to you, it was marked up at £32.- Oh!
0:18:55 > 0:18:56I don't know why, but it was!
0:18:56 > 0:18:58- That's promising!- Exactly.
0:18:58 > 0:19:03- So, we could be in for a bit of a profit.- Yeah, it wouldn't hurt, that's for sure!
0:19:03 > 0:19:07- The condition is OK.- Very good condition.- What do you think?
0:19:07 > 0:19:09He should be in good condition cos he's not that old!
0:19:09 > 0:19:13Being Wade, he's definitely gonna have been made in the last 50 years.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16A lot of people like yourself collect frogs, toads, etc
0:19:16 > 0:19:20- and they have them all over the house and they go...- Like we do!
0:19:20 > 0:19:24- Tom is predicting a profit.- That's great.- For the viewers at home,
0:19:24 > 0:19:26let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about this toad.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- Brup!- Thanks.- Brup! Any good?- Terrible, isn't it!
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Absolutely awful! It's not my sort of thing, Tim.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Did they give them out with the Cornflakes?
0:19:37 > 0:19:40- I would've thought so! Age-wise, Tim...- 1995?
0:19:40 > 0:19:42- Correct.- Thomas Plant paid £18.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46- Gosh!- He thinks it could do something interesting.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Rather him than me, Tim! Guide price, £10 to £15.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- OK, fine. Well, we'll have to stand by.- Yes.- Thanks, Charles.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01- Jeanette, Dennis, all right? - Fine, thank you.- Confident?
0:20:01 > 0:20:05- Yes.- Yes?- Ish!- Ish! What about you, Dennis?
0:20:05 > 0:20:06I'm enjoying myself and I'm confident.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09First up, Dennis, is your caster, and here it comes.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12You've all seen it, a nice octagonal caster.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15I am bid £28. Do I see 30?
0:20:15 > 0:20:192, 5, 8, 40, 2, 5, no more!
0:20:19 > 0:20:23Your place, ma'am, at £42. I look for 5, surely.
0:20:23 > 0:20:265, 48, 50, sir! Come on, sir!
0:20:26 > 0:20:2950 no more. 50, sir, 2, madam?
0:20:29 > 0:20:32No more. It's your bid, sir, at 50.
0:20:32 > 0:20:33I'll take 2. All done.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Selling to you, sir, at £50. Sale.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38- Yes.- Fantastic!
0:20:38 > 0:20:40- Wonderful!- That's fantastic!
0:20:40 > 0:20:43That is £32 profit.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47£32 plus. Now, Moorcroft lamp.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Lots of interest here, this lamp.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51I am bid £50.
0:20:51 > 0:20:565, 5, 60, 5, 70, 5, 80, 5.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58I am out. Where's 90? Surely 90?
0:20:58 > 0:21:02All done, to you, sir, 85 and sale.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06£85 is 15 off a 100,
0:21:06 > 0:21:08that's minus 65.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11OK, that means you are minus 33 overall.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15- What about the tobacco jar?- A very nice Doulton tobacco jar with cover.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17I am bid straight in, £20.
0:21:17 > 0:21:192, 5, 8, 30, 2.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22I'm out. Where's 5? Come on!
0:21:22 > 0:21:24At £32, surely a fiver!
0:21:24 > 0:21:30Come on, 5, 8, 40, come on 42, why not?
0:21:30 > 0:21:32You say 40, sir?
0:21:32 > 0:21:3542, 45, 48.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Are you sure, sir? No more.
0:21:37 > 0:21:42Your play, sir, at £45. Selling.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Wiped your face, darling! Well done!
0:21:44 > 0:21:47£45. No profit, no loss on that.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Overall you're minus £33, right.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53You've got Beswick now. Now, minus £33 could be a winning score, OK?
0:21:53 > 0:21:57- Are you gonna chance it? - Let's go for it!- Beswick at £45.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59- Be it on your head! - Got nothing to lose.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Don't be like that. Poor Dennis!
0:22:01 > 0:22:03You've got to have a joint responsibility.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- How long have you been married? - Too long. 35 years.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Well, there you go, then! 35 years.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12- Have you delegated responsibility to him for 35 years?- No, never!
0:22:12 > 0:22:14There you go! Why are you starting now?
0:22:14 > 0:22:19- Why are you breaking with the habit of a lifetime?- God knows! - Do you see a profit?
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- I think it's borderline. - Borderline? Dennis likes it?
0:22:22 > 0:22:24I think we might just make a profit.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26- All right.- We've got nothing else to lose.- Go on, then.
0:22:26 > 0:22:31- Are you gonna go on happily together?- Begrudgingly! - Begrudgingly happily together!
0:22:31 > 0:22:35Anyway, we're gonna go with the bonus buy. You are gonna do it? Here it comes.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38It's a Beswick Palomino horse.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41I am bid straight in, £20.
0:22:41 > 0:22:42Do I see 2 for the horse, please?
0:22:42 > 0:22:452 and 5 and 8,
0:22:45 > 0:22:4630 and 2 and 5 and 8.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48I'm out. Where's 40? Come on!
0:22:48 > 0:22:50- Let's see one more!- Go on!
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Come on! Where's 40?
0:22:52 > 0:22:54- All done...- Giddy up!
0:22:54 > 0:22:56We sell, all out at £38.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01Oh, no! £38 is minus £7,
0:23:01 > 0:23:04which rounds it down to minus £40!
0:23:05 > 0:23:08- Consistent, anyway. - Well, I don't know!
0:23:08 > 0:23:11That's a funny old result. Now, you never know, minus 40 could be
0:23:11 > 0:23:15a winning score, so don't help the Blues owt. Don't tell 'em owt!
0:23:23 > 0:23:24How you feeling?
0:23:24 > 0:23:26- Good.- Very nervous. - Are you feeling nervous?
0:23:26 > 0:23:31Let's have a look at your hands. How nervous are you? You really are!
0:23:31 > 0:23:34But the big thrill today is gonna be Thomas's find,
0:23:34 > 0:23:35the Pilkington pot.
0:23:35 > 0:23:40Anyway, it's the first lot up in your trio and here it comes.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42- Good luck, Thomas.- Thank you.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44204. Lots of interest.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47I shall start here on my book, at £100,
0:23:47 > 0:23:52110, 120, 130, 140, 150,
0:23:52 > 0:23:54160, 170, 180,
0:23:54 > 0:23:572, 20, 240, 260,
0:23:57 > 0:24:02280, 300, 20, 340, 60, 380,
0:24:02 > 0:24:064, 20, 50, 480, 5,
0:24:06 > 0:24:07I've got 20, 40.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Are you sure?
0:24:09 > 0:24:12No. 520 with me on the book.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Do I see 540 on the phone?
0:24:14 > 0:24:20540 on the phone, 560, 580,
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- 600, 20...- We've tripled the money!
0:24:24 > 0:24:28640, 660, £680.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32I'm out. We're all done. I don't believe it!
0:24:32 > 0:24:39We are selling, all done, off we go at £680, the phone bid takes it.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43Well, I'm blowed! £680!
0:24:43 > 0:24:44Guys!
0:24:46 > 0:24:48I'm a mess!
0:24:48 > 0:24:50We haven't had tears for years!
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- Plus £480.- They're happy tears! - Now hang on a minute.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56The micro mosaic box, all right. Let's not peak early here!
0:24:56 > 0:25:01The very nice early 20th century micro mosaic.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Again, straight in, £12.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Do I see £14, please? Come on, £12.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Where's 14? Come on, now, let's go!
0:25:08 > 0:25:1314, 16, 18, 20, 2, I've got 4 and 6.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17I'm out. At £26, do I see 8, surely!
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Come on now. We sell, we're all out.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- At £26, yes, we are!- No!
0:25:22 > 0:25:27£26. You're 4 short of 30, which is 20, so you're minus 24 on that.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30This is nothing! I shouldn't worry about it!
0:25:30 > 0:25:33It's not making a dent, all right! Now, sugar sifter.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36An Edwardian silver sifter.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39I am bid here £20.
0:25:39 > 0:25:40Do I see 2, please?
0:25:40 > 0:25:422, 5, 8, I'm out.
0:25:42 > 0:25:4530, 2, 5, 8...
0:25:45 > 0:25:48- You're in profit. Well done. Go on! - It's your, ma'am, at £35.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51No more. It's yours, ma'am at £35. Yours.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55£35. You've made £3 profit!
0:25:55 > 0:25:56That is brilliant.
0:25:56 > 0:26:03You are £459 in credit. £459!
0:26:03 > 0:26:06That is just so peachy! Well done.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09- Such a wet cheek! - Thank you very much.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12- That's fine, that's fine. - Anyway, let's not get too excited
0:26:12 > 0:26:16- cos you've got your Wade frog. Are you gonna run with it?- Of course!
0:26:16 > 0:26:21£18. Are you gonna do it? I mean, you've got £459 to play with!
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- You can't lose more than £18! - Somebody wants the frog.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25Here comes the bonus buy.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29There we are. A very, very nice Wade porcelain green frog.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31I am bid £5.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Do I see 6 for him, please? Come on!
0:26:33 > 0:26:36- Let's go! He needs a good home! 6, 8, 10.- Go on, Charles!
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Till I'm out. Come on! I'll take 11, sir.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43Thanks for coming in. 11, 12, 13,
0:26:43 > 0:26:48through and through, come on, sir! Otherwise at £12 we go. It's gone.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Sold for £12. That is a loss of £6 on Kermit.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53- But he has a home!- He does,
0:26:53 > 0:26:56and you will walk away with £453.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59- Wow, that's amazing! - That's brilliant!- That's great.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02- Are you happy you came now? - I am, yeah!- OK.
0:27:11 > 0:27:16Most days on Bargain Hunt it's exciting, but today it's been super exciting!
0:27:16 > 0:27:20My gosh, we've got out of control! It's been a lovely programme.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24- Have you guys been talking to one another?- No!- Have you been chatting?
0:27:24 > 0:27:27The runners-up today are runners up by an enormous length.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- I have to tell you that the runners-up are the Reds.- Ah!
0:27:30 > 0:27:34- You had a feeling there, didn't you, Jeanette?- Yes, I did.
0:27:34 > 0:27:40You did so well - £32 profit on the old shaker, which was fantastic.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Anyway, the overall score is minus 40.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45You've been a great team. We've had a wonderful time.
