Today we're ready to get our heads down and search for treasure

0:00:050:00:09

at the RAF Swinderby Antiques and Collectors' Fair

0:00:090:00:13

in the heart of Lincolnshire.

0:00:130:00:15

I hope you've done your homework on the rules, or it'll be detention for you.

0:00:400:00:45

They are, of course, that the teams have one hour to shop for three items, and they have £300 to spend.

0:00:450:00:51

All under the watchful eye of their tutors, our experts.

0:00:510:00:55

BELL RINGS

0:00:550:00:56

Hello, is that the bell?

0:00:560:00:59

Let's put our teams to the test.

0:00:590:01:02

At least one of the teams today is about to teach me a lesson,

0:01:020:01:05

because Bargain Hunt is going all intellectual.

0:01:050:01:08

We have teachers, Flick and Paul, with us today for the reds.

0:01:080:01:12

And students Sean and Ben for the blues.

0:01:120:01:16

Welcome to Bargain Hunt. Very, very nice to see you.

0:01:160:01:19

Now Flick, that is an incredibly rare name, Flick?

0:01:190:01:22

-What's it derived from?

-I was called Felicity, but I very rarely use it.

0:01:220:01:26

I think there's only my godmother left who still calls me Felicity.

0:01:260:01:30

I'm sorry to have revealed that. I think it's is a lovely name.

0:01:300:01:33

-Thank you.

-So how did you hook up with the gorgeous Paulus?

0:01:330:01:36

We were at university together 38 years ago.

0:01:360:01:39

-Yes.

-And I was going out with his best friend at the time.

0:01:390:01:42

But I soon saw the error of my ways.

0:01:420:01:45

-You saw the light.

-I saw the light.

-Absolutely.

0:01:450:01:47

You also make jewellery. Is this one of your divine creations?

0:01:470:01:51

-It is.

-Isn't that lovely?

0:01:510:01:52

Yes, it would suit you, cos it's pink, isn't it?

0:01:520:01:55

Thanks(!) I'm not much into necklaces and earrings YET.

0:01:550:01:59

But once I've had my lobes pierced, I suppose I could make a start.

0:01:590:02:03

Now Paul, you'd better watch out that Flick doesn't spend all the money on bling today.

0:02:030:02:08

That's true, but she's gonna be the boss.

0:02:080:02:11

She's going to have to direct the way and I'm going to look after the money.

0:02:110:02:15

You should be pretty good at looking after the money.

0:02:150:02:18

You were, after all, both maths teachers.

0:02:180:02:21

Yeah, well, 38 years as a teacher and 24 as a deputy head.

0:02:210:02:25

-And last year we both retired at the same time from the same school, the same maths department.

-Really?

0:02:250:02:31

-I bet there was a heck of a party.

-It was a great party to finish off with.

0:02:310:02:35

I think you're gonna do very, very well on Bargain Hunt though. Now for the boys.

0:02:350:02:39

Sean, why did you two want to come on Bargain Hunt?

0:02:390:02:42

Me and Ben have known each other since we met in halls last year at university.

0:02:420:02:46

We've been friends ever since and now we're housemates.

0:02:460:02:49

We often watch TV midweek, we watch Bargain Hunt when we should be at lectures.

0:02:490:02:54

-What, you get up in time for Bargain Hunt?

-Yeah, we set the alarm just in time.

0:02:540:02:58

So what expertise do you bring to this programme?

0:02:580:03:00

Well, I'm a student, so I'm used to bantering with sellers

0:03:000:03:03

trying to get prices lower than what they're asking for.

0:03:030:03:06

-You reckon you're pretty tight?

-Definitely. I also collect some sporting memorabilia,

0:03:060:03:11

-like some programmes that were passed down from my grandparents.

-What sort of clubs...?

0:03:110:03:16

-Liverpool Football Club.

-Is it all Liverpool?

-Mostly, yeah.

-Got any other collections?

0:03:160:03:21

I do actually. I collect some rare trainers.

0:03:210:03:23

I have over 35 pairs at the moment.

0:03:230:03:25

-35 pairs of trainers, really?

-Yeah. I also did some work experience for a trainer company.

0:03:250:03:29

I did some design work. I designed and made my own pair of trainers.

0:03:290:03:33

So what's this box down there then?

0:03:330:03:35

-These are the trainers that I made.

-What, you made these trainers?

-Yeah.

-With your own fair hands?

0:03:350:03:40

Not with my own fair hands. I designed them.

0:03:400:03:42

-They went through the factory production line?

-Yeah.

-Amazing.

0:03:420:03:46

Well there we are. We have had some expert advice today.

0:03:460:03:50

Thank you very much for that. Now Ben, what do you collect?

0:03:500:03:53

I don't collect anything personally, but I've inherited a collection of cigarette cards from my grandfather

0:03:530:03:58

dating back from around the First and Second World War period.

0:03:580:04:02

-What are you reading, by the way?

-I'm reading geography.

0:04:020:04:05

With a view to being a great geographer?

0:04:050:04:08

With a view to abandoning geography after university and becoming a sports journalist, hopefully.

0:04:080:04:14

So all this sportiness means you're gonna be captain of the team today, does it Ben?

0:04:140:04:18

Well, I suppose I have team leading skills in charge of the money at home.

0:04:180:04:26

-Sean often calls me the Mother Hen at home.

-Do you do the hoovering and everything?

0:04:260:04:30

I'm in charge of the cleaning!

0:04:300:04:33

Oh Ben, this is terrible, having to own up to this.

0:04:330:04:36

Half the female hearts of the land will be all of a flutter now.

0:04:360:04:40

They'll think, "I want to take care of this lovely young man".

0:04:400:04:44

Anyway, I think you're going to be incredibly good on Bargain Hunt and we're gonna have so much fun today.

0:04:440:04:49

Now - here's the £300. 300 smackers. £300, Flick.

0:04:490:04:53

-Thank you.

-You know the rules.

0:04:530:04:54

Your experts await and off you go!

0:04:540:04:57

Very, very, very good luck.

0:04:570:04:58

Well, we've certainly got plenty of brain power today.

0:04:580:05:01

But will those calculations add up?

0:05:010:05:04

Or will we simply get a few own goals?

0:05:040:05:07

# It's not hard to tell that I've learned my lesson well. #

0:05:070:05:12

Today's nutty professor for the reds is David Harper.

0:05:130:05:17

And madly swotting away for the blues is James Braxton.

0:05:170:05:22

I'm sorry, you two, but I've already done the deal, I'm afraid.

0:05:240:05:28

-You've bought it already?

-You didn't ask if I like it!

-Sorry.

0:05:280:05:33

It was only 25 quid, and I couldn't knock 'em down, but I quite like it

0:05:330:05:37

cos it's got this cloisonne effect, and we've got some at home.

0:05:370:05:41

OK, you've got cloisonne. Tell me all you know about cloisonne.

0:05:410:05:44

It's made with a brass wire, and later they fill in and fire the enamel.

0:05:440:05:49

Right. The wire is laid, creating cells, and then it's filled with coloured enamel.

0:05:490:05:55

It's a very clever, long-drawn-out process, invented by the Chinese

0:05:550:05:59

during the Ming dynasty and absolutely perfected by the Japanese in the late 19th century.

0:05:590:06:05

Now, this is quite crude as cloisonne goes.

0:06:050:06:08

You sometimes see them so fine that they've got tiny slithers

0:06:080:06:12

of silver wire as opposed to that chunky brass.

0:06:120:06:15

-So it's a chunky monkey, really, isn't it?

-It is.

0:06:150:06:18

-OK, what about country of origin? Where do you think it was made?

-Out in the East somewhere.

0:06:180:06:23

-Out in the East somewhere.

-Not quite far enough east. Probably China, looking at it.

0:06:230:06:28

Date-wise, where would you put it?

0:06:280:06:31

Well, it doesn't look that new, looking inside.

0:06:310:06:34

So I don't think it's a yesterday.

0:06:340:06:35

-I would say...1910?

-Absolutely spot-on.

0:06:350:06:39

Late 19th century, we couldn't get enough of the oriental tastes. The country was awash with them.

0:06:390:06:44

-Will we make a profit?

-For the money, it looks a great piece.

0:06:440:06:48

-I'd buy it all day long at that.

-I'd buy it. I did buy it for £25!

0:06:480:06:51

-You did!

-I bought it! Yes, I'm sorry.

0:06:510:06:55

First one done. OK, let's go.

0:06:550:06:57

Well, Paul didn't hang about.

0:06:570:06:59

Seems he knows his stuff and got the vase for a cracking £25.

0:06:590:07:04

Now, come on, you students.

0:07:040:07:06

I have slightly taken over control here.

0:07:060:07:09

Hopefully, you'll approve of this and this will be our first purchase.

0:07:090:07:12

-What is it?

-Well, see the piercing here? That's a clue. It's a sort of pepperette.

0:07:120:07:17

Very often, you get salt, pepper and a mustard.

0:07:170:07:21

-Is it silver?

-It's not silver. It's pewter.

0:07:210:07:23

So, rather like pewter tankards.

0:07:230:07:25

Any hanging up, rattling, in the student bar?

0:07:250:07:29

Will there be any effect on the price in the fact that it looks a bit grubby?

0:07:290:07:34

It affects the price now for buying. That's great. Works in our favour. It has kept the price low.

0:07:340:07:40

-This can be bought for £30.

-OK.

0:07:400:07:41

That should be all right, shouldn't it?

0:07:410:07:43

What do you think, at auction? If we clean it up, do you think it'd make more?

0:07:430:07:47

We can add value. There's an opportunity for adding value here.

0:07:470:07:51

-OK. I'll go for that.

-I think it's a wise choice, yeah.

0:07:510:07:55

-I'm off!

-Well, James is a wise old owl, buying that pepper pot for £30.

0:07:550:08:01

To-whit, to-whoo.

0:08:010:08:02

So, have you find another item?

0:08:020:08:05

Yes, I have. This writing slope.

0:08:050:08:07

I don't want a writing slope.

0:08:070:08:09

I know. I know we've got one, but look at this. This is very unusual.

0:08:090:08:13

I have never seen one with this sort of wood before.

0:08:130:08:16

-I don't know what this wood is.

-It's palm wood.

0:08:160:08:18

Is that very unusual?

0:08:180:08:20

It's a very exotic wood from a very, very long way away,

0:08:200:08:23

-and it's absolutely rock hard, harder than oak.

0:08:230:08:27

I was shown that underneath here there are three concealed drawers.

0:08:270:08:34

That is very nice. Now, look at the construction. What do you see?

0:08:340:08:38

-Dovetails.

-A dovetail.

0:08:380:08:39

But it's not a machine-made dovetail, a nice chunky one.

0:08:390:08:42

You can just see the scribe mark,

0:08:420:08:44

so, it's a hand-cut tail, which gives us some kind of indication as to age.

0:08:440:08:48

I hope it's old. I was told it was 1900...

0:08:480:08:52

No, 1800. 1850, I think he said.

0:08:520:08:54

-1850.

-So he says.

0:08:540:08:56

Have you talked to him about the price?

0:08:560:08:58

He has done me quite a decent deal, I think.

0:08:580:09:01

I managed to get him down to £80.

0:09:010:09:04

-It's a lot of box for that.

-It is. I didn't want to buy one, though.

0:09:040:09:08

But if you want to push for it...?

0:09:080:09:10

I would like to, cos I think it's a lovely piece.

0:09:100:09:13

It's one of the nicest of this type that I've seen.

0:09:130:09:16

-Let me tell you - if you've made a mistake, you're in big trouble.

-This is true!

-I can sense it.

0:09:160:09:20

-Nothing new there.

-I was going to say, I think you're used to it!

0:09:200:09:24

Paul sloped off to buy the writing desk for £80.

0:09:240:09:30

-How're you doing, team?

-Hi, James. What have you got for us?

0:09:300:09:33

An invisible tray! What do think of this fellow?

0:09:330:09:36

-It's a tray.

-It's a tray.

0:09:360:09:38

It's a French tray. It's known as a TRAY bien(!)

0:09:380:09:41

-Oh, very good.

-Yeah, very good, very good.

0:09:410:09:45

Um... Mahogany. Glass.

0:09:450:09:47

Quite cool, isn't it?

0:09:470:09:48

Would it go... Does it normally come with a set?

0:09:480:09:51

No, it doesn't come with anything.

0:09:510:09:54

But you know, champagne...

0:09:540:09:56

Drinks. Or a tea-tray. Whatever.

0:09:560:09:58

What period do you think this dates back to, then, James?

0:09:580:10:02

I think it's Edwardian, sort of 1900, 1910.

0:10:020:10:06

-It's quite heavy, isn't it?

-To me, I just see a tray.

0:10:060:10:09

Is there anything special about it, or...?

0:10:090:10:12

Does your eye not alight on the bevelled edge?

0:10:120:10:14

-Is that a scratch there?

-Yeah, well done, it is a scratch.

0:10:160:10:19

But we can turn these little problems to our advantage.

0:10:190:10:22

We can get a little off for it, then.

0:10:220:10:24

A little scratch like that could improve the purchase price of it.

0:10:240:10:28

-How much are they asking?

-£35.

-We can get that down, d'you think?

0:10:280:10:33

Leave it to the maestro. In the meantime, instead of scratching your heads,

0:10:330:10:37

get out there and scratch some antiques.

0:10:370:10:39

We've got to find that third item.

0:10:390:10:41

-You buy that and get some drinks while we look for another one.

-I will.

0:10:410:10:44

The lads were persuaded by the classy tray, especially at £20.

0:10:440:10:49

There he is.

0:10:490:10:50

Don't worry, we've got the third item.

0:10:500:10:54

You've had two choices, and David and I found this.

0:10:540:10:57

We're stamping our authority, Paul!

0:10:570:11:00

-You're welcome to do that any time.

-It's got a name on it.

0:11:000:11:03

I don't know the name of the company, Kaiser. Do you?

0:11:030:11:06

I do. I know a little bit. Kaiser are a German manufacturer.

0:11:060:11:10

-What does that look like to you? What style?

-Art Nouveau.

0:11:100:11:13

Absolutely, bang on, Art Nouveau.

0:11:130:11:14

You've got what I think is a sea rose, and are they little bumblebees there?

0:11:140:11:19

Yes, I think so, yes.

0:11:190:11:20

How much was it?

0:11:200:11:22

30 quid. You can't go wrong, surely, for that.

0:11:220:11:25

30 quid, no, that's not a bad buy.

0:11:250:11:27

-We've got it.

-That's us finished.

-Cup of tea.

0:11:270:11:29

Flick and David loved the pewter plate, and purchased it for just £30.

0:11:310:11:36

-Here we are!

-Hello, James.

0:11:360:11:38

-Just in the nick of time.

-Have you got anything?

0:11:380:11:40

We've got it. Here's the baby.

0:11:400:11:43

Have you gone completely potty?

0:11:430:11:45

Yeah! Come on, get it out.

0:11:450:11:48

To me.

0:11:500:11:53

-To you.

-To me.

0:11:530:11:54

This is the pot we saw five minutes ago.

0:11:570:12:00

What do you think of this?

0:12:000:12:02

We've got to get something, so this is not too bad.

0:12:020:12:05

It looks like a giant match strike, it's quite a tactile object.

0:12:050:12:10

-So what would it have been used for?

-A jardiniere.

0:12:100:12:14

Flowers. Victorians loved their aspidistras,

0:12:140:12:18

those red blossom trailing fellows.

0:12:180:12:19

It's a good Victorian piece.

0:12:190:12:21

-So how much are they asking for it?

-They're asking £70, but I've secured it, £55.

0:12:210:12:27

-Great.

-OK.

-The maestro's back.

0:12:270:12:29

I hope it does PHEASANTLY well at auction.

0:12:290:12:32

-Not quite as GROUSE as I first thought.

-No more puns!

0:12:320:12:35

Just in the nick of time, James!

0:12:350:12:37

He's not potty after all, snapping the jardiniere up for £55.

0:12:370:12:42

Time's up, let's see what the Reds bought.

0:12:420:12:45

Paul impressed David and Flick

0:12:450:12:48

with his Chinese vase and I'm not surprised at £25.

0:12:480:12:53

Let's hope the bidders will be writing a big figure

0:12:530:12:56

for Paul's palm wood writing slope.

0:12:560:12:58

Flick's piece of pewter is a pretty load of petals

0:12:580:13:02

and cost a paltry £30.

0:13:020:13:04

Let's check out what the Blues have bought.

0:13:040:13:07

Wise old James took the boys in hand with a pewter owl pepper pot.

0:13:090:13:15

Next up was the mahogany and glass tray,

0:13:150:13:19

sadly lacking drinks, but only £20.

0:13:190:13:22

The lads saw potential in James's pot, but will it sink at auction?

0:13:220:13:28

We're in Derby, in Bamfords' splendid new saleroom -

0:13:340:13:38

-well, not so new any more, but anyway - with James. How are you?

-Very well indeed, welcome.

0:13:380:13:44

Nice to see you. How old is this sale room now?

0:13:440:13:47

We've been in this building for just over four years.

0:13:470:13:51

Right, still quite new for us. Jolly good.

0:13:510:13:54

Flick and Paul, our Red team, bought the decorative Chinese vase.

0:13:540:13:58

It is bronze and it is cloisonne.

0:13:580:14:01

It's got an unusual shape. It's not a bad thing.

0:14:010:14:04

Not bad at all. I really quite like it.

0:14:040:14:06

It's a good size. It's decorative.

0:14:060:14:08

Probably originally one of a pair. I don't think that matters. It looks well on its own.

0:14:080:14:13

-Brilliant. Anyway, how much?

-What do you think? £30 to £40?

0:14:130:14:16

-Something like that.

-I should have thought it might do that. Maybe a bit more. They paid £25.

0:14:160:14:23

-That is a really good buy. They've done well.

-That stands a good chance.

0:14:230:14:26

-This writing slope is...

-Yeah.

0:14:260:14:28

..on the face of it, a good looking thing.

0:14:280:14:30

-I mean, relatively plain outside, but open it up and it has got all its bits.

-A great colour, isn't it?

0:14:300:14:36

-This palm wood.

-A very good colour. Quite unusual to have that in the way of a box.

0:14:360:14:40

It's been through the hands of the trade at some point.

0:14:400:14:43

It has been cleaned up, but they've done a really nice job.

0:14:430:14:46

The tooled leather writing surface is good. I like it.

0:14:460:14:49

-It's ready to go.

-Yeah.

-Will you get £100 for it?

0:14:490:14:52

Yeah, I think we've got a chance. 60 to 100.

0:14:520:14:54

-60 to 100. £80 paid.

-That's fine.

0:14:540:14:56

-What about that pewter petal plate?

-It's a...

0:14:560:15:00

stylish little thing, really. It's Kaiserzinn. It is early 20th century. It hasn't been over-polished.

0:15:000:15:06

It's still nice and crisp. There are always good buyers for these things.

0:15:060:15:10

They almost always make the same sort of area of £30 to £40.

0:15:100:15:14

Brilliant. £30 paid.

0:15:140:15:16

-That's OK.

-That's all right.

0:15:160:15:18

-Potentially, we have got three decent profits?

-Yeah. It's a good lot.

0:15:180:15:22

In any event, let's go and have a look at their bonus buy.

0:15:220:15:25

Flick and Paul, this is your bonus buy moment.

0:15:250:15:28

You gave David £165, which is an enormous amount of money. Has he blown the lot?

0:15:280:15:34

-Is it time for me to...?

-You reveal it for me, please. Very gently.

0:15:340:15:38

-A bit gingerly.

-Da-dla, da-dla... There you go. What do you think of that?

0:15:380:15:43

-More pewter.

-More pewter to go with our Kaiser plate, I was thinking.

-Take a piece, that's it.

0:15:430:15:48

I do think, it's early 20th Century. I think it is in period. Art Nouveau, for sure.

0:15:480:15:53

Most definitely continental.

0:15:530:15:55

-You've given this quite a good old puff up, haven't you?

-I like it.

0:15:550:16:00

-And I like this. But the main thing is...

-What?

-The price.

0:16:000:16:03

£40.

0:16:030:16:04

-Right.

-It's got to be a bargain.

0:16:040:16:07

-I might've expected it to be more.

-I might've expected it to be more.

0:16:070:16:11

-You've got an awful lot for your money.

-I think so.

0:16:110:16:13

Anyway, you don't have to decide until the sale of your first three items.

0:16:130:16:17

Right now, for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about it.

0:16:170:16:21

David's gone into overdrive on the pewter front.

0:16:210:16:24

-Yes...

-You get that fellow and another five like that. A set of six.

0:16:240:16:29

A really stylish lot. It has had a bit of it a bash there,

0:16:290:16:31

which might affect it slightly. It's coming through.

0:16:310:16:34

But really stylish. I like that a lot.

0:16:340:16:38

What's your estimate?

0:16:380:16:39

-50 to 80.

-OK, £40.

-Oh, that's fine. I'd have bought that for £40.

0:16:390:16:43

Just as well you weren't there then!

0:16:430:16:45

There we go. That's it for the Reds. Now, for the Blues.

0:16:450:16:49

-Their first item is the owl pepperette. That's rather nice, isn't it?

-Yeah, he's sweet.

0:16:490:16:55

A nice early one.

0:16:550:16:56

You see lots of fakes around. It's good to see a genuine one.

0:16:560:16:59

It's a sort of style of thing which is quite fun.

0:16:590:17:03

The wise old owl. People like animals.

0:17:030:17:05

I think it's got a lot going for it. Anyway, what's your estimate?

0:17:050:17:08

-I've put around £20 on it.

-Really?

0:17:080:17:10

Is that all? They paid 30.

0:17:100:17:12

-I don't think that's too over-the-top.

-Nor do I.

-Got a chance.

0:17:120:17:16

I can see that thing taking off, frankly.

0:17:160:17:20

-And maybe making £30 to £40. Maybe £50?

-Yeah.

-I hope so.

-It would be nice to see it

0:17:200:17:25

make 30 to 40. I don't think it will make 50,

0:17:250:17:28

-but let's hope so.

-Great. Now, the mahogany and brass tray.

0:17:280:17:32

I mean, useful thing?

0:17:320:17:35

Yes, good quality.

0:17:350:17:36

-People don't have afternoon tea any more. What would you do with it?

-Put drink on it.

0:17:360:17:41

I mean, all my family have drink...all the time.

0:17:410:17:44

A gin and tonic on the there, what could be nicer?

0:17:440:17:46

-Exactly.

-A nice, cleared tray like that.

0:17:460:17:49

OK, fine. So how much for the drinks tray?

0:17:490:17:52

-Oh! £40 to £50.

-Great! £20 paid.

0:17:520:17:55

There you go, see. James has done very well for his students.

0:17:550:17:58

Now, the Staffordshire jardiniere.

0:17:580:18:01

The best thing about that is the size, isn't it?

0:18:010:18:04

It is a really good, big lump.

0:18:040:18:06

-How much do you think it's worth, that big, old lump?

-£60 to £100.

0:18:060:18:09

Very good. £55.

0:18:090:18:11

-That's fine.

-I think he's done extraordinarily well.

-Yes.

-He should be all right.

0:18:110:18:15

With any luck, he won't need his bonus buy, but we're going to have a look anyway.

0:18:150:18:19

Time for the bonus buy then, boys.

0:18:190:18:21

You've spent £105. Miserable. You gave James 195.

0:18:210:18:26

A lot of money. What did you spend it on?

0:18:260:18:28

I spent it on this, Tim. A rather nice travelling clock.

0:18:280:18:32

-For the boys?

-For the boys. So they get up in nice, good time.

0:18:320:18:36

Always ready for quiet study, revision, you know...

0:18:360:18:40

Nicely cased. Here's the clock.

0:18:400:18:42

A sort of Goliath pocket watch in here.

0:18:420:18:44

And then rather nice silver case, silver hallmark.

0:18:440:18:47

Nice Morocco leather back.

0:18:470:18:49

A rather nice easel back.

0:18:490:18:51

You just stand that by your desk, or bedside table.

0:18:510:18:55

That Ben, he wants to grab it.

0:18:570:18:58

-How much did you spend?

-£90.

0:18:580:19:01

-I think it's good.

-I'm a fan. It's different to what we've got already.

0:19:010:19:07

It is, isn't it? Is certainly is.

0:19:070:19:09

OK, boys. With those reassuring words, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about it.

0:19:090:19:15

-James, what do you think about that?

-I quite like that.

0:19:150:19:19

It's a decent style.

0:19:190:19:21

It's got its leather standing piece at the back, which normally breaks off.

0:19:210:19:25

I think that's got something about it. I like it.

0:19:250:19:28

I should think it will make £50 to £70.

0:19:280:19:30

£90 was paid. It's supposed to be a bonus buy. That could be a bit tight.

0:19:300:19:34

-Yes, I think it is.

-It's a pity to spoil the other three with that.

0:19:340:19:38

-Anyway, we'll hope for the best.

-Let's hope they don't go for it.

0:19:380:19:41

-Flick and Paul, how are you feeling?

-Bit anxious.

-Well, I'm not surprised really.

0:19:470:19:51

You completely ignored your expert and pursued your own interests.

0:19:510:19:56

We did have his support on the writing slope.

0:19:560:19:59

Yes, you did. Quite rightly so,

0:19:590:20:00

because you paid £80 for that. You technically found it, Paul.

0:20:000:20:04

-I did.

-The auctioneer put £60 to £100 - that could be a bit low,

0:20:040:20:08

-and you could be getting a pay back on that if you're lucky, all right?

-Oh.

0:20:080:20:13

First up, the Chinese enamel vase.

0:20:130:20:17

-Here it comes.

-The Chinese vase.

0:20:170:20:20

It's the growing market, isn't it, the Chinese market?

0:20:200:20:23

It's a good thing.

0:20:230:20:25

Big and decorative, £25 to start it low. 25.

0:20:250:20:28

There should be hands everywhere.

0:20:280:20:31

25, I'm bid. 30 now.

0:20:310:20:33

At 25, 30, 35, 35,

0:20:330:20:36

40, 45, 50...

0:20:360:20:38

-He's doubled his money.

-At 50, second row, it's still cheap.

0:20:380:20:41

All done at £50. Second row and selling.

0:20:410:20:46

-Well done, James.

-£50 plus £25.

0:20:460:20:49

Well done, Paulus. Now, the writing slope.

0:20:490:20:51

This is great. Palm wood. You don't often see palm wood

0:20:510:20:56

made into writing boxes, but there it is.

0:20:560:20:58

I can start the bidding at £60.

0:20:580:21:01

And five now. 65 anywhere? At 60 and selling.

0:21:010:21:05

£60. Five. 70.

0:21:050:21:08

Against you at £70, absentee bid.

0:21:080:21:11

-Come on!

-At 70, do I see?

0:21:110:21:13

At 70 and selling.

0:21:130:21:15

-Five. 80.

-Yes!

-5.

0:21:150:21:17

-Yes!

-I told you we'd do it!

0:21:170:21:20

At £80. It's still against you. At £80 and selling.

0:21:200:21:23

Wiped its face, £80. That's OK.

0:21:250:21:28

-Now, Flick, your moment is here.

-Right.

0:21:280:21:31

The Kaiserzinn plate. There we are.

0:21:310:21:35

Decorative little pewter plate and two bids on it.

0:21:350:21:38

One of 30, one of 35. 40 anywhere?

0:21:380:21:42

At £35 and 40 do I see? At 35. 40 now.

0:21:420:21:45

At 35. 38, if it helps.

0:21:450:21:48

-At £35 then and selling.

-Come on!

0:21:480:21:51

£35.

0:21:510:21:53

£35. That's plus £5.

0:21:530:21:57

-You are plus £30 overall.

-Blimey.

0:21:570:21:59

-What do you want to do about the jug and mugs?

-I would like to.

-I'd like to.

0:21:590:22:03

-But remember, £30...

-I don't care. It's something really nice. It's worth having a go.

0:22:030:22:09

-It's the sort of thing you would have bought.

-Yes.

0:22:090:22:11

-You would've bought that?

-I'd be interested in it, yes.

-Definitely.

0:22:110:22:15

-Well, then it will make a profit.

-The way you two are performing, there's no stopping you.

0:22:150:22:20

We're going with the bonus buy. Let's see what happens.

0:22:200:22:22

-Art Nouveau pewter jug and six goblets.

-Excellent item!

0:22:220:22:27

Again, really stylish lot, this one.

0:22:270:22:31

-Early 20th century, £50 to start it somewhere.

-Lovely!

0:22:310:22:34

-Anybody want it at 50?

-Go on.

0:22:340:22:37

-50 bid.

-Yes!

-55.

0:22:370:22:39

60, 65.

0:22:390:22:41

Five? 70. 75.

0:22:410:22:43

-75. 80. 85.

-Look at this.

-What are we going to do with all the money?!

0:22:430:22:48

I think I'll take you out for a meal.

0:22:480:22:50

-Come on!

-85. 90.

0:22:500:22:51

Oh, David, well done.

0:22:510:22:53

Sure? 90 there. 95.

0:22:530:22:57

-At 90.

-Come on.

-Standing in the...

0:22:590:23:01

-Coming back, one more?

-Go on!

0:23:010:23:03

No, £90. Are we all sure? At 90.

0:23:030:23:06

Do I see five?

0:23:060:23:08

Yes!

0:23:080:23:10

£90. Well done.

0:23:100:23:12

Plus 50 smackers, which is plus 80.

0:23:120:23:16

-£80 up. How do you feel about that?

-Not bad, is it?

0:23:160:23:19

And we've met you as well.

0:23:190:23:21

Hey, don't tell the Blues a thing, all right? Mum.

0:23:210:23:24

They might see the smile.

0:23:240:23:26

Go out looking really gloomy.

0:23:260:23:27

-Flick, you can do it.

-I can do it.

-Look gloomy, girl.

0:23:270:23:31

So students, this is your moment to shine, isn't it?

0:23:380:23:42

Off we go with the owl pepper pot. Here it comes.

0:23:430:23:46

This little novelty owl pepperette.

0:23:460:23:48

Great fun. And one, two, three, four, five, six, seven bids...

0:23:480:23:54

-Seven bids!

-..but five of the bids are £20.

0:23:540:23:57

One is 25 and one is higher, so £30 starts it.

0:23:570:24:00

-At £30 and five, anyone?

-We're nearly there.

0:24:000:24:03

-At 30. 35, the lady is bid.

-In profit.

-35, and 40 now.

0:24:030:24:07

-£35. 40 anywhere?

-Go on!

-Against all the commissions at 35.

0:24:070:24:12

-Keep it going, keep it going.

-Anyone? All you all sure?

0:24:120:24:15

-£35 is a profit.

-That's all right.

0:24:150:24:17

Well done, James. Plus £5.

0:24:170:24:18

It could've done more, but there we are. Now the tray.

0:24:180:24:21

It's a great thing, isn't it?

0:24:210:24:23

Really useful being a glass centre. Use it for whisky

0:24:230:24:27

and gin and that sort of thing.

0:24:270:24:29

Where shall we start it? £30?

0:24:290:24:31

30. Start it low at 30, surely?

0:24:310:24:35

-20?

-Come on.

0:24:350:24:36

£20 bid. And five, do I see?

0:24:360:24:38

At £20 and five anywhere?

0:24:380:24:41

-We need a profit.

-We need a profit.

0:24:410:24:43

25, 30, 30 and 5.

0:24:430:24:45

-35, 40.

-Good stuff.

0:24:450:24:47

35 has it and 40 now. 38 if it helps.

0:24:470:24:50

38, under the arch at 38.

0:24:500:24:53

40 now. £38 and 40.

0:24:530:24:56

Go on!

0:24:560:24:57

At 38. It's here at £38.

0:24:570:25:01

All done at 38?

0:25:010:25:03

-I love it. £38. Plus £18.

-Steady work.

0:25:030:25:06

Very nice. You are plus £23, all right?

0:25:060:25:09

-Plus 23. Now, the jardiniere.

-The pot.

0:25:090:25:12

A great big parlour palm in it or something.

0:25:120:25:15

It really would look the part.

0:25:150:25:16

-Well done, that man.

-He's a big strong fella.

0:25:160:25:19

Great jardiniere stand. Where shall we start - at £80? 80?

0:25:190:25:23

60 then.

0:25:230:25:25

£60 somewhere. 50. That is a bargain.

0:25:250:25:29

If you've got a big home, you should put your hand up. £50.

0:25:290:25:33

50 bid. At £50.

0:25:330:25:35

And five do I see? At 5. 60.

0:25:350:25:37

60. 5. 70.

0:25:370:25:39

-You're in profit, James, well done.

-At £65.

0:25:390:25:41

-It's cheap at that. And 70 do I see?

-More, more.

0:25:410:25:45

-At 65.

-Come on!

-All done.

0:25:450:25:47

You should be bidding. All done at £65.

0:25:470:25:49

-They should be bidding.

-They'll regret it. £65.

0:25:490:25:53

That is so cheap, but it's £10 profit.

0:25:530:25:55

-You are £33 up.

-Steady work.

-33 quid up, right.

0:25:550:26:00

What are you going to do about this old timepiece clock jobby?

0:26:000:26:03

-Well...

-Are you going with it or not?

0:26:030:26:05

We spoke before and we are not going to go for it because we have made some money already.

0:26:050:26:10

We think we're going to play safe.

0:26:100:26:13

Thank the Lord!

0:26:130:26:14

THEY LAUGH

0:26:140:26:16

Hang on a minute! James has got you three lots of profit so far.

0:26:160:26:20

I think it's fine.

0:26:200:26:21

-I think we are dicing with...

-James has got you three lots of profit.

0:26:210:26:25

You are £33 in your back pocket.

0:26:250:26:29

That's a lot of money for us students.

0:26:290:26:31

It's a lot of money for anybody, I'll tell you that.

On Bargain Hunt, it's nearly unheard of! Three profits on three items is very good, James.

0:26:330:26:38

We just said if we make over 10, we weren't going to do it.

0:26:380:26:42

That's your strategy, is it? I mustn't interfere with that. I will not influence you.

0:26:420:26:46

You are not going with the bonus buy, and here it comes.

0:26:460:26:49

There it is. A nice little thing, well presented and £50 is bid.

0:26:490:26:54

50. And 5. 60. And 5.

0:26:540:26:56

70 and 5, sir.

0:26:560:26:58

£75 has it nodding. At 75.

0:26:580:27:00

80, new place. 85. 90. No, sure?

0:27:000:27:05

-Go on!

-88, if you like.

-Go on!

0:27:050:27:07

At £85 here. 88, do I see? At £85.

0:27:070:27:13

-Go on!

-Selling at £85. Are you sure?

0:27:130:27:17

At £85. Are we all done? With you at £85.

0:27:170:27:20

Well done. £85.

0:27:200:27:23

That's really close. Minus £5.

0:27:230:27:25

-You made exactly the right decision. It was exciting though.

-Yeah.

0:27:250:27:29

That was really close. Well done!

0:27:290:27:31

So, you teams, you lovely teams,

0:27:390:27:42

-the runners-up today are the Blues.

-Oh!

0:27:420:27:46

How mean is that?!

0:27:460:27:49

-How can I tell you you're runners up with winnings of £33?

-Oh, well done!

0:27:490:27:53

It is a pity, isn't it? Don't be too cut up about it, boys!

0:27:530:27:57

You'll take some money home.

0:27:570:27:59

In fact, you are going to take it home right now. Here's your three quid.

0:27:590:28:02

You have preserved your winnings in their entirety. You have been a great team. Thank you so much.

0:28:020:28:08

But the victors, Flick and Paul.

0:28:080:28:12

You are £80 up,

0:28:120:28:13

-which is a considerable achievement.

-Well done.

-There you go.

-Fantastic.

0:28:130:28:17

£80, Flick. What are you going to do with the money, darling?

0:28:170:28:20

-Run off with the first man who'll have me!

-Really! That'll be Paul then.

0:28:200:28:24

THEY LAUGH

0:28:240:28:26

Anyway, see what fun we have had today?

0:28:260:28:28

-Join as soon for some more bargain hunting. Yes?

-ALL: Yes!
