0:00:07 > 0:00:09Ha ha! Did I fool you?
0:00:09 > 0:00:14Well, this gadget gives you a hint as to where we are today,
0:00:14 > 0:00:16so let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Today, we're in the centre of Glasgow
0:00:47 > 0:00:49at the Clydeside Antique Centre,
0:00:49 > 0:00:53where there's no less than 25,000 square feet
0:00:53 > 0:00:55crammed with antiques and collectables,
0:00:55 > 0:00:59which means our teams today are going to be rushed off their feet
0:00:59 > 0:01:01finding the most profitable goodies.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10I ventured outside to the banks of the Clyde to tell you the rules.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Each team gets £300 and an hour to shop for three items
0:01:13 > 0:01:15which they sell later at auction,
0:01:15 > 0:01:19and any leftover lolly gets given to their expert to find a bonus buy.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Och aye!
0:01:27 > 0:01:30They say you can't choose your family, but you can choose
0:01:30 > 0:01:32your friends, so today's teams
0:01:32 > 0:01:33have done incredibly well
0:01:33 > 0:01:37because we have two teams of incredibly close friends.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40For the Reds we've got Ephie and Pat
0:01:40 > 0:01:42and for the Blues, Nan and Rita. Welcome to Bargain Hunt.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44- Thank you.- It's very, very, very nice to see you.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48- Thank you.- Now, Pat, how long have you been friends?
0:01:48 > 0:01:49- About 30 odd years. - How did you meet?
0:01:49 > 0:01:54Through the church and through business. My husband and I
0:01:54 > 0:01:57had a small grocer's shop in a village,
0:01:57 > 0:02:03- and Ephie's husband had a butcher's business two villages along.- Right.
0:02:03 > 0:02:08And we used to buy some of their meats and take them to our grocer's
0:02:08 > 0:02:12and the villagers kept insisting, is it Halliday's meat?
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- Halliday's meat!- Ah, Halliday's!
0:02:14 > 0:02:18And if it wasn't Halliday's meat they didn't want to know!
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Why did you apply to come on the show?
0:02:21 > 0:02:25Well, my friend, dear friend Ephie, she had a very rough year last year.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29I applied and Ephie knew nothing about it.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32What happened when you got the call, Ephie? Were you surprised?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35I was sitting down on a seat, so it was just as well!
0:02:35 > 0:02:39- What, you might have tottered over otherwise?- Yes, exactly!
0:02:39 > 0:02:41- Were you excited?- Oh, very! - Do you watch a bit yourself?
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- Oh, I watch it every day.- Do you? Do you like antiques, Eph?
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- Oh, very much so.- What sort of things do you like?
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Well, my favourite is brass, believe it or not.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- But, do you like old brass or modern?- Oh, yeah, the old. Oh, yes.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57- It's got to be the old?- Oh, it's got to be the old stuff.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Have you got any other hobbies apart from the brass job?
0:03:00 > 0:03:05Well, I'm very involved in the church and I was ex-organist of the church.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- Ah, right.- For 60, maybe, years. - What?- Yes!
0:03:08 > 0:03:10You were an organist for 60 years!
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- Yes, yes!- Ephie, you shouldn't be owning up to that!
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- Yes, well, I was! - But you started as a child!
0:03:16 > 0:03:17Oh, flatterer!
0:03:17 > 0:03:21Well, I think you're going to do incredibly well, you girls,
0:03:21 > 0:03:26- today on Bargain Hunt.- Thank you. - And lots of luck.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Now, for the Blues. Rita, how did you two meet?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32We met when Nan joined the Haighton Writers' Group,
0:03:32 > 0:03:34which I was already a member.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37That's nice, isn't it? Tell me about this writers' group?
0:03:37 > 0:03:41- Are you all budding novelists?- She's the poet, I write short stories.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45- Oh, lovely! Now, Rita, do you like antiques?- Love them.- Do you?
0:03:45 > 0:03:50- What do you like best?- Wood.- Wood. - Wood.- So, you're planning to buy
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- an enormous piece of furniture today with your £300?- Oh, I would love to.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- I would love to.- Well, the BBC carriers will look forward to that!
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Now, you're also keen on Clarice Cliff, aren't you?
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- Tim, I love Clarice Cliff.- Yes.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05To me, she is the greatest female potter of her era.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09And the nice thing was that before she died, she saw her pottery
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- being auctioned off for thousands of pounds.- Yes.
0:04:12 > 0:04:17And she was alleged to have said, "The world has gone mad!"
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Well, let's hope that we get a really mad result today, I tell you!
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Girls, here's your £300. There's the £300. You know the rules.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Your experts await and off you go and very good luck!
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Let's find out who's championing our teams today.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33With a bit of friendly rivalry,
0:04:33 > 0:04:38we have Paul Laidlaw for the Reds and James Lewis for the Blues.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42And they'll be helping not one, but two lots of teams today.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44What do you think of that little charmer?
0:04:44 > 0:04:48I think it's a nice design and I think it would fit
0:04:48 > 0:04:52into any room in the house because it would go with any colour scheme.
0:04:52 > 0:04:57I think you are quite savvy on the furnishing front!
0:04:57 > 0:05:00You're saying all the right things!
0:05:00 > 0:05:02I mean, would you hazard a guess at its period?
0:05:02 > 0:05:04I'm saying, maybe, '30s, '40s?
0:05:04 > 0:05:08Well, I think most would agree with you, there. In truth, it could be as
0:05:08 > 0:05:10late as the '50s. Mid 20th century.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14Is it precise enough? Strikingly art deco, lovely clean alabaster.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18There's one little catch, though. Have you spotted it?
0:05:18 > 0:05:21- Well, there's a wee crack. - I was just looking at it, just now.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25But, it's not a howler. The rest of it, importantly, isn't damaged.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27What do you think the ticket would be on that?
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Maybe about 35. It's very clean cut.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Isn't it? 28 we can get it for.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35- I think there's some legs in that. - Oh, well.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39OK, if it comes to auction, what do I think it's worth? 30 to 40?
0:05:39 > 0:05:41So, I think there's a little profit.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Rita has found this.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- What do you think?- Right, OK. Well, it's... You know what it is?
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Two different canteens. Ah, two canteens not full of cutlery.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- Yes.- A canteen not full of cutlery is a little like a bike with no wheels.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Not much good. Of course, these days we do not have formal dining,
0:06:03 > 0:06:07so there isn't a huge demand for these. But, I have to say,
0:06:07 > 0:06:11if you look at this one, this one is much better.
0:06:11 > 0:06:16And it has these wonderful locking devices at the front that are capped
0:06:16 > 0:06:18in brass, look, here.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- So, how much are they asking for it? - £50.- £50 for the two of them?
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- The two of them!- The two together!
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- The two of them together. - That's really unusual.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29But, £50, it's not a lot of money, is it?
0:06:29 > 0:06:32See if you can get them down just a little bit and
0:06:32 > 0:06:36if we can, we've got a chance.
0:06:36 > 0:06:42The girls finally forked out £45 for the two canteens of cutlery.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Ephie, what do you think of this?
0:06:44 > 0:06:48- Oh, that's nice!- Paul? Please?
0:06:48 > 0:06:53- Some expertise, please?- Well, period? Do you guys have any inclination?
0:06:53 > 0:06:54- Not really.- I don't think so.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- I'd be saying 1860, give or take a decade.- Really?- As early as that?
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Give or take a decade. It's a nice Victorian piece of furniture, that.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03If we look at the gilding on this, or the gilt elements,
0:07:03 > 0:07:06you've got that brass strap work detailing there.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10You've got almost chrysanthemum paterae here we call them, perhaps.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- OK, it's...- I noticed that one or two things were missing.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Is there much like that? There's a problem.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16There's something on the other side.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Yeah, condition is all important.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20I think there's life in it yet.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23What's the price? Is it an expensive piece of furniture?
0:07:23 > 0:07:2555? Fair, isn't it?
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Fair at 55, but we've got to be cautious because there is
0:07:28 > 0:07:31more money to spend on it.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34I mean, given what I've spotted, would you still chase it?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- What do you think? - Yes, I think so.- Yes, I like it.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- If we can get it down a bit. - I would like to bargain for that.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- I would like to have a bargain!- I really would!- Work your magic!
0:07:44 > 0:07:49Pat did work her magic and knocked a cool £20 off the asking price.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53- What about that? What do you think of that?- It's been in bits.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- Oh, sorry. - Yeah, I had a look at that earlier.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58It's a nice thing, a bit of Derby porcelain, but this!
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- We like that.- Is that Lalique?- Like Lalique, in the style of Lalique.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05It's French, 1930's. Doesn't have the quality moulding Lalique has,
0:08:05 > 0:08:09probably by somebody like Sabino, one of the lesser known factories.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13It's got a few chips, not an easy thing to sell, so what can you do?
0:08:13 > 0:08:15It can be ground down there, you know, so it's not a big problem.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- It could be.- What would your best price be, Raymond?- Go £50 on it.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22£50 is enough. I would want to see this at £35
0:08:22 > 0:08:25if we're going to have a chance.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29I understand if you can't do it, but if we've got a chance at 35.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33- Let's go for 35. Right, it's a deal? Thank you! That's great.- Fantastic!
0:08:33 > 0:08:36I hope you do well with it. Just watch that you don't drop it!
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- I think there's a profit in that.- Right.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Ha ha! Everybody loves Raymond!
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Now, what's this cheeky little number the Reds are eyeing up?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47This has got to be a windup!
0:08:47 > 0:08:50I think it has a market for young people that have upmarket flats.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Ah, I hear what you're saying. Do you know anything more about it?
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Have we got any clues? There's a clue.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01Giovanni. In the absence of that, it's more of a speculative piece.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06I know of one guy that it could be. A guy called Giovanni Schoeman.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10What Schoeman came up with was taking metal dust and marrying it
0:09:10 > 0:09:15with a synthetic resin and we'd call this today cold-cast bronze.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Is this an expensive object? Is there a price on it?
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Well, I think they're asking roughly...
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- About 100 and...- 40. 140.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26140. Well, look, I'm going to come clean and say I've no experience
0:09:26 > 0:09:28of handling this man's work.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30I'd just have to go on instinct.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33But, in truth, at auction what's it worth?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- I just don't know. You still up for it, give it a go?- Oh, yes!- Yes!
0:09:36 > 0:09:40- In for a shilling, in for a pound! - Yes.- Try and get it for a shilling!
0:09:40 > 0:09:44- Well, we'll try! We'll do our best. - Thanks, Paul.- Thank you very much.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Well, they may not have got it for a wee shilling,
0:09:46 > 0:09:50but at £70 they didn't do half bad.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52James, what do you think of these?
0:09:52 > 0:09:55I have to say, don't give up the day job!
0:09:55 > 0:09:58I think they're nice. They're fun things.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- Yeah, they are. They're great. - They could go on a wall, on a table.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05- Yeah, exactly.- Beautiful!- That's what they're reduced to, really.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09- The backs are wonderfully shaped. - Is that rosewood?- It's rosewood
0:10:09 > 0:10:10and these are outlined with boxwood.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13And the fronts are, again...
0:10:13 > 0:10:14That's almost satinwood.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17We've got a little rim of bone and we've got mother of pearl
0:10:17 > 0:10:21and abalone around the outside.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26So, this would have been made around 1870, 1880.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Boxed and in perfect condition, at auction these would make £35 to
0:10:29 > 0:10:31£40 each. How much are these?
0:10:31 > 0:10:33They're asking £70 a pair.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Well, if you can get them below 50, I think you've done well.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40- OK.- So, have a go and do your best.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44- Right, let's go. We'll do our best. Thank you.- All right!
0:10:44 > 0:10:48Our musical duo plucked some strings and bought the mandolins for £35.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52Amused or not?
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Either way, time's up. Let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58What do you think, ma'am?
0:10:58 > 0:11:02The Reds kicked off with the art deco clock.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Will it make a profit at auction? Only time will tell.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07The Victorian rocking chair is an attractive little piece,
0:11:07 > 0:11:09especially at £35.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13Finally, will the cubist nude titillate the buyers today?
0:11:13 > 0:11:17Now, Ephie and Pat, did you have a great time shopping?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- Oh, we've had a marvellous time! - I bet you did.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24- Now, which is your favourite piece? - Probably the little rocking chair.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26- Yes.- That's your favourite. And what about you, Pat?
0:11:26 > 0:11:28- I agree with Ephie.- Do you?- Yes.
0:11:28 > 0:11:34Very sensible. What's for certain is you spent £133, which is not a lot.
0:11:34 > 0:11:40- No!- £167 of leftover lolly coming straight over to Paul Laidlaw.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Are you going to be able to keep up your record of excellent profits
0:11:43 > 0:11:48- today, do you think?- Yeah, I've got a good feeling today, I really have!
0:11:48 > 0:11:52I've got perhaps the name in Scottish architecture and design.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54No prizes!
0:11:54 > 0:11:56No wonder you've got a warm feeling!
0:11:56 > 0:12:00Anyway, you'd better go and snaffle it in case it goes somewhere else.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Very good luck. Now, let's remind ourselves what the Blues bought.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08Our canny Blues started off by buying the two canteens for £45.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12The art deco opalescent bowl is a nice little buy,
0:12:12 > 0:12:14but will it make a profit?
0:12:14 > 0:12:16And £35 for two mandolins?
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Music to my ears!
0:12:19 > 0:12:23- Nan and Rita, did you have a good time?- Yes!- A wonderful time, Tim.
0:12:23 > 0:12:28- Which is your favourite piece?- My favourite piece, Tim, is the plate.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32- The glass plate.- Rita, what's your favourite, darling?
0:12:32 > 0:12:34- I agree with Nan 100%. - Very sensible.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36I wouldn't bet it's not Lalique.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Anyway, you only spent £115 which is terribly disappointing.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43I want £185 worth of leftover lolly, which I'm going to give JL.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Have you got anything in mind to buy?
0:12:46 > 0:12:50Yes, something probably more famous for its breakfasts than antiques.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- Oh, really!- Yes.- Oh, there we go! Not the movie breakfast
0:12:53 > 0:12:58- by any chance, is it?- Absolutely! - I'm onto something here! Good luck.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08We popped up from the River Clyde
0:13:08 > 0:13:11in Glasgow to Great Western Auctions in Glasgow,
0:13:11 > 0:13:14with our favourite auctioneer,
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- Anita Manning. How lovely to see you!- Welcome, Tim!
0:13:16 > 0:13:21Now, Ephie and Pat, their first item is this Art Deco-style clock.
0:13:21 > 0:13:26- There is a little damage on it, but it has a sort of retro look.- Yes.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30Actually, they only paid £28 for it, which is not much.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32But what's your estimate, Anita?
0:13:32 > 0:13:3415 to 25.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Well, you'll get somebody
0:13:36 > 0:13:39on board for it and they'll get what they paid for, really.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Well, something similarly old and tired next, which is the
0:13:42 > 0:13:44little child's rocking chair.
0:13:44 > 0:13:49- What's your estimate?- 60 to 80.- Very good, because they paid £35.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Next is this rather strange Cubist-looking relief.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54What do you make of this, Anita?
0:13:54 > 0:13:59I love this! Now, Giovanni Schoeman was an interesting artist.
0:13:59 > 0:14:04He was South African and he worked in the latter part of the 20th century.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- I've put 60 to 80 on it.- Mm-hm.
0:14:07 > 0:14:13It may drop, but it may be well fancied, so it's a wee bit difficult.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15I've put an in-between estimate.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18£70 they paid and I think you're absolutely right.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Speculatively, somebody could go for it.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24But overall, based on your estimates, they probably
0:14:24 > 0:14:27don't need a bonus buy, but let's look at it anyway.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Now, Ephie and Pat, you spent £133.
0:14:29 > 0:14:34You gave 177 to Paul Laidlaw. What did he spend it on?
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- I spent it on this little Glasgow treasure.- Oh, it's a wee spoon!
0:14:37 > 0:14:41This is way better than a wee spoon
0:14:41 > 0:14:45- because this came from Miss Cranston's tearooms!- Really?
0:14:45 > 0:14:49And this spoon was designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- for Miss Cranston's tearooms. - My goodness!- That's amazing!
0:14:52 > 0:14:54That little treasure.
0:14:54 > 0:15:00I know of four that were sold together in Edinburgh, made £400.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04- My goodness!- Ask me how much I paid? You do the sums, of course.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08- Not a difficult one, that! - And how much?- £65.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- Do you think it might make a profit? - I will be flabbergasted...
0:15:11 > 0:15:14- If it doesn't.- ..if it doesn't in this saleroom today.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16It's clever of you to make that association with Glasgow
0:15:16 > 0:15:20and bring it to the right place, Paul. Congratulations on that.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Girls, you don't have to decide
0:15:22 > 0:15:24until after the sale of your first three items.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28But for the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks.
0:15:28 > 0:15:33I fancy we've got the right object in the right place.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37You certainly have! This looks a modest wee thing,
0:15:37 > 0:15:42but in actual fact, it came from the Willow Tea Rooms,
0:15:42 > 0:15:45which is owned by Miss Cranston
0:15:45 > 0:15:49and she commissioned Charles Rennie Mackintosh to design everything,
0:15:49 > 0:15:52from the wonderful panels, the glassware,
0:15:52 > 0:15:54to little spoons like that.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Now, Paul, he paid £65 for it.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00- Is he going to make his money back, do you think?- Well, I've estimated
0:16:00 > 0:16:03it 60 to 80, but I'm hoping for more.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05But we'll only know when the hammer falls.
0:16:05 > 0:16:10Yes, that's so true. Anyway, I'm going to grab it back.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Thanks for the explanation. And that is it for the Reds.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Now, for the Blues, Nan and Rita.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17First up is this glass bowl.
0:16:17 > 0:16:23- So, is it worth £35? - I've estimated it 30 to 40.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26It could go to 50, if it was in perfect condition.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Next up are the two oak canteen boxes.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33I suppose somebody will buy those to try and fit them up
0:16:33 > 0:16:37- again, will they?- Uh-huh. These are good solid boxes.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39They could be cleaned up and they have a bit of potential.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41And what are they worth, Anita?
0:16:41 > 0:16:45I've estimated 40 to 60. They must be worth 20 quid each.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48£45 paid, that's all right. Should be about in the money with that.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52I want to find out whether this thing plays your music. Does it?
0:16:52 > 0:16:55I'm a romantic and I think these are lovely things.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57I love the shape of mandolins.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59I love the tortoiseshell and mother-of-pearl details.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- As little works of art they're great, aren't they?- Yes.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04I would estimate them at 40 to 60.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08£35 they paid, which, when you think about it, bearing in mind
0:17:08 > 0:17:10they are so beautifully made, is no money at all.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14Overall, perhaps they're in the money already, but in any event,
0:17:14 > 0:17:17they've got their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21Rita and Nan, you spent £115.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23That means £185 went to James Lewis.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25The big question is, did he blow the lot?
0:17:25 > 0:17:27OK, James, what have you got for us?
0:17:27 > 0:17:30It's a little whistle, it's a little charm,
0:17:30 > 0:17:33but most of all, it's by Tiffany.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36- It is! It's 14-carat gold. - Do you want to hold it, Rita?
0:17:36 > 0:17:37Have a blow! Try it!
0:17:37 > 0:17:38IT WHISTLES
0:17:38 > 0:17:42- Practical as well!- Naughty! - Do you like it?- Yes, I do.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46- I do like it.- The thing is, James, will it make a profit?
0:17:46 > 0:17:50- Well, how much do you think I paid for it?- Well, we gave you £180.- Yep.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- If it's Tiffany, obviously, it's worth a bob or two.- 60.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Oh, no, I didn't pay that much. £40!
0:17:55 > 0:17:59So, I reckon there is a profit in that somewhere between £50 and £80.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- Yeah?- Win, lose or draw, we'll probably go for it!
0:18:02 > 0:18:05- Oh, you don't have to decide yet! - You decide later.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Now for the audience, let's find out what
0:18:07 > 0:18:09the auctioneer thinks.
0:18:09 > 0:18:14The most important thing about this little item is the maker.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16It's Tiffany.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20One of the most prestigious designers and retailers of jewellery and glass.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22How much is it worth, Anita?
0:18:22 > 0:18:26- Estimate, 40 to 60.- That cunning James Lewis, he only paid £40.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Which is brilliant, isn't it?
0:18:28 > 0:18:32- So, look forward to a bit of fun at the auction, won't we?- Of course!
0:18:34 > 0:18:3870, 80...
0:18:38 > 0:18:39- So, girls, are you excited?- Very!
0:18:39 > 0:18:44- I mean, this is a big day, isn't it? - Oh, yes!- A very big day!
0:18:44 > 0:18:46- A very big day.- Yes.
0:18:46 > 0:18:47The room is crowded.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50The first lot is the Art Deco-style clock, and here it comes!
0:18:50 > 0:18:54It's an Art Deco-style alabaster clock.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Classic design. Start me at £10.
0:18:57 > 0:19:0010 bid. With you, sir, at 10. 12.

0:19:11 > 0:19:14- We're in profit!- £30. £30.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17£30 is plus £2 and that's a very good start!
0:19:17 > 0:19:21- Thank you, Paul!- Thank you! - Now, Pat, it's down to you, look up.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24It's this Regency-style stool, ladies and gentlemen.
0:19:24 > 0:19:29Now, a lovely little children's rocking chair. Start me at £40.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33Start me at... 20 bid. I'll take 20.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35- Come on! Oh!- I'll take 20.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Any advance on 20? 30.

0:19:39 > 0:19:43- Come on!- 50. 60.

0:20:10 > 0:20:14All done at 130? 130.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- Good Lord! £130!- Great!
0:20:17 > 0:20:20You've made £95 profit on that.
0:20:20 > 0:20:2395 plus two, you are plus 97. Standby!
0:20:23 > 0:20:25An interesting lot,

0:20:54 > 0:20:57£110, that is amazing!
0:20:57 > 0:21:00You've made £40 profit on that, Pat,
0:21:00 > 0:21:03which means overall you are plus £137.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Now, what about this bonus buy?
0:21:05 > 0:21:08- Yes, or no?- Yes?- Right, I'll go with you.- Yes.- You think yes?
0:21:08 > 0:21:11- Well, done, ladies. - You're definitely going to do this?
0:21:11 > 0:21:14- Yes, yes!- She's a superior lady.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16- She's the Mother Superior!- Yes, yes!
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Well, the Mother Superior says yes!
0:21:18 > 0:21:21We are going with the bonus buy, and here it comes!
0:21:21 > 0:21:23By Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
0:21:23 > 0:21:28It's a little electroplated teaspoon for Miss Cranston's Willow Tearooms.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Now, these do not come often on the market.
0:21:30 > 0:21:37- Start me at 100. £80, then? 80 bid.- You've made a profit.
0:21:37 > 0:21:43Any advance on 80? 90. 100. 110.

0:22:00 > 0:22:03Any advance on 170? All done at 170?
0:22:03 > 0:22:06180, back in again. 180.

0:22:24 > 0:22:27£115! I can't believe it!
0:22:27 > 0:22:30That is absolutely wonderful.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34So, overall then, 137, 237, 247...
0:22:34 > 0:22:39£252 plus. £252!
0:22:39 > 0:22:43- £252!- Yes!
0:22:43 > 0:22:48We don't see this ever happen! £252!
0:22:48 > 0:22:50We don't do it in halves, do we?
0:22:50 > 0:22:52- You certainly do not! - We certainly don't!
0:22:52 > 0:22:56- You've more than doubled your money, which is phenomenal.- Super!
0:22:56 > 0:22:59The next thing is you've got to keep quiet, all right?
0:22:59 > 0:23:01I don't want you telling those Blues anything.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03- Mum's the word.- Look miserable.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07130...
0:23:12 > 0:23:16Now, the big question, you girls, is do you know how the Reds got on?
0:23:16 > 0:23:19- We have no idea.- No idea, that's the way we like to keep it.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Are you feeling nervy at all? Do you see a...
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Not at all. We're all excited.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28We are all excited! We're going to make our fortune today!
0:23:28 > 0:23:29- Going to make a fortune today?- Yep.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31You never know, you might just do that!
0:23:31 > 0:23:34But first up is going to be your opalescent bowl,
0:23:34 > 0:23:36James, and here it comes!
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Now, just have a look at that.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41It's this lovely French Art Deco from the 1930s. Start me at £20.
0:23:41 > 0:23:4320 bit. 25.
0:23:43 > 0:23:4530. 35. 40.

0:23:53 > 0:23:56- 70. 70.- Yes!
0:23:56 > 0:24:01- Come on!- Any advance on 70 for this beautiful opalescent bowl?
0:24:01 > 0:24:04With you, sir, at £70. £70.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- Yes!- £70, you've doubled your money.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10That's very good, plus £35.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12An excellent start, James.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Now, your canteens, Rita. What's going to happen here?
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Now, we have two canteen boxes.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20They're in good condition. Start me at £20. 20 bid.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Any advance on 20?

0:24:47 > 0:24:51- That's fantastic auctioneering for you!- Isn't it?
0:24:51 > 0:24:53That's a good auctioneer!
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Are there any romantics in the room
0:24:55 > 0:24:58who would like to serenade their sweethearts?
0:24:58 > 0:25:03Now, they're lovely things, ladies and gentlemen. Can we see 80?
0:25:03 > 0:25:05£80, straight in at 80.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Oh, you beauty! I can't believe it!
0:25:08 > 0:25:10..For the two mandolins?
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Any advance... 90.
0:25:12 > 0:25:13100.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16100 on the floor.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18£100 for the mandolins.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Any advance on £100?
0:25:20 > 0:25:22All done at £100. £100.
0:25:22 > 0:25:27£100, that's brilliant! That's a profit of £65 on the mandolins.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Overall, then, you are plus £115.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34What about this bonus buy? Are you going to go with the little whistle?
0:25:34 > 0:25:38- Without question we go with James' choice.- Definitely.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40- Going to go with James' choice? - Yes, we'll blow your whistle!- Sure?
0:25:40 > 0:25:43We're going with the bonus buy then, and here it comes!
0:25:43 > 0:25:47It is made by Tiffany and it is 14-carat gold.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51It's a little whistle, but it could be worn as a charm.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Will you start me at 50?
0:25:53 > 0:25:55£50. On the floor at 50.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58- Great profit straight up. Look at that!- And it's 60.

0:26:34 > 0:26:36Oh, you're a gentleman!

0:26:45 > 0:26:49£160! Well, that is extraordinary.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53You've made a profit on that item, James, your bonus buy, of £120
0:26:53 > 0:26:58and that means overall you are £235 up.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Absolutely brilliant!
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Well, you're feeling good about that, aren't you?
0:27:03 > 0:27:05That will do me for Czechoslovakia!
0:27:05 > 0:27:07The difficult thing now
0:27:07 > 0:27:09is keeping a straight face with the Reds, all right?
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- Yes.- We don't want you to tell the Reds a thing.- No.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14And we will reveal all in a moment.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16But congratulations team, you've done really well!
0:27:16 > 0:27:20What an amazing result. The Blues made a fantastic profit of £235
0:27:20 > 0:27:26but it's still not enough to beat the Reds, who made a dazzling £252.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30So will our next two teams come up trumps? We'll find out in a moment
0:27:30 > 0:27:33but first, I'm off for a treat!
0:27:38 > 0:27:40William Crichton-Dalrymple,
0:27:40 > 0:27:455th Earl of Dumfries, was a happily married man
0:27:45 > 0:27:49who had an eye to build a new house in the middle of his estate.
0:27:49 > 0:27:54Nothing but the best would do for our William and he commissioned
0:27:54 > 0:27:58the brothers Adam to design a new house.
0:27:58 > 0:28:03Work began in 1754, but the following year, disaster struck.
0:28:03 > 0:28:08His wife, Anne, of 24 years' standing, went and died,
0:28:08 > 0:28:11leaving him childless.
0:28:11 > 0:28:17His thoughts turned to remarriage and producing a longed-for heir.
0:28:20 > 0:28:25By this time, William, you could politely say, was past his peak.
0:28:25 > 0:28:31An ill, gouty man in his 60's, whose interests were hunting and fishing.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35His hopes of securing a bride centred on the appeal of his titles,
0:28:35 > 0:28:40his estate and a stonking new pad in the country.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47To compensate for his shortcomings, William decided to simply stuff
0:28:47 > 0:28:51the house with the most glamorous furniture possible.
0:28:51 > 0:28:56As a widower, he had no choice but to pick the furnishings himself
0:28:56 > 0:29:01and he decided to fill his nest with the most glitzy items possible
0:29:01 > 0:29:04in order to attract a mate.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18This piece would have looked particularly glitzy originally.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21All this gilt bronze, cut brass and tortoiseshell
0:29:21 > 0:29:24would have glistened in the candlelight.
0:29:24 > 0:29:29It's a typically French piece of furniture that was made around about
0:29:29 > 0:29:351710, 1720, but most unusually, it was supplied to the 5th Earl
0:29:35 > 0:29:38by no less a person than Thomas Chippendale.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42You think of Chippendale as always making pieces of furniture,
0:29:42 > 0:29:47but actually, he traded in second-hand pieces, cos this thing,
0:29:47 > 0:29:51this little bureau Mazarin, was certainly made in France
0:29:51 > 0:29:54before Chippendale was even born.
0:29:54 > 0:29:55And how much was it?
0:29:55 > 0:30:00Well, Chippendale charged the 5th Earl 15 guineas.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03I'd call it a bargain, wouldn't you?
0:30:05 > 0:30:09Speaking of which, let's see if our next two teams can come up with
0:30:09 > 0:30:12the goods as we go Bargain Hunting!
0:30:12 > 0:30:14It's time to meet our next Reds and Blues.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18- For the Reds, we've got Carole and Alison.- Alie-son.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21- Carole and Alie-son. Alison. - Alie-son.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23Alie-son. Lovely, thank you very much.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27And we've got Gillian and Maria for the Blues. Welcome to Bargain Hunt.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30- Now, Alison...- Alie-son.- Thank you. - LAUGHTER
0:30:30 > 0:30:34- Where did you two meet?- At the Brownies.- At the Brownies?- Yes.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37- Did you?- Yes, I... - How many years ago was that?
0:30:37 > 0:30:40Er, erm, 40? 40 years ago.
0:30:40 > 0:30:4140 years ago you met.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44Now, Carole, you're an avid collector.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46- Oh, yes.- Oh, yes.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50- Got loads of collections.- Well, tell us about your collections.
0:30:50 > 0:30:54Well, I've got postcards, bookmarks,
0:30:54 > 0:30:56Lilliput Lane models,
0:30:56 > 0:30:58pens, miniature soaps.
0:30:58 > 0:31:03These aren't just miserable little collections, are they?
0:31:03 > 0:31:05- Oh, no!- You've got 10,000 postcards?
0:31:05 > 0:31:08- That's correct.- How many bookmarks you got, girl?- About 4,000.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11- 4,000 bookmarks. Anyway... - LAUGHTER
0:31:13 > 0:31:16I think this is going to be a brilliant competition today.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18Welcome to Bargain Hunt, you two Reds.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22- Now, Gillian and Maria, hi. How are you both? All right?- Great, thanks.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26You've known Gillian since she was little and how did you first meet?
0:31:26 > 0:31:30We met when I was about eight years old
0:31:30 > 0:31:34and went down to Gillian's birthday party when she was nine.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36We met at primary school.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38Now, you don't collect anything as such,
0:31:38 > 0:31:41but you have brought with you your book of "randomness".
0:31:41 > 0:31:45Yes, we have a book which belongs to myself and Gillian
0:31:45 > 0:31:47and our friends as well.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50So are you going to give us an example from your random book?
0:31:50 > 0:31:52Some of the things we've got in it,
0:31:52 > 0:31:55for example, if sheep perhaps get heavy when it rains?
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Do they get heavier when it rains?
0:31:57 > 0:32:01- Well, we think so.- We came to the conclusion that they do. - LAUGHTER
0:32:01 > 0:32:02Now, you love line dancing and you
0:32:02 > 0:32:06- went to dance school together for 12 years.- Yes, we did.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08Brilliant. Gillian, tell us about that.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12We started line dancing to begin with when we were about nine or ten.
0:32:12 > 0:32:18Eventually, we moved into disco dancing and just modern styles.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20We did that for the next ten years.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23Now you've recently graduated and what did you read?
0:32:23 > 0:32:25I did a course in film and media.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28- Oh, right. And have you got a job yet?- Not yet. Still looking.
0:32:28 > 0:32:32So if there's anybody out there looking for raw talent
0:32:32 > 0:32:34for the film and TV industry,
0:32:34 > 0:32:37they should get in touch with Gillian, right?
0:32:37 > 0:32:39- Exactly.- Well, that's very good.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42Now the money moment. Here's your 300 squids. You know the rules.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46Your experts await. You ladies put your best foot forward
0:32:46 > 0:32:51and don't go getting into a spin and off you go! Ha-ha!
0:32:51 > 0:32:54- What is this? This is quite a find. - Have a look.
0:32:54 > 0:32:59Before I drone on about it, what's your immediate reaction here?
0:32:59 > 0:33:02- It's lovely.- We'll walk away if it's not your cup of tea.- Yeah.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04What kind of wood is it?
0:33:04 > 0:33:10Well, that is the finest, flame-figured mahogany you will see.
0:33:10 > 0:33:15- I would call this a swivel toilet mirror.- Oh, right.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19- And you'd park this on top of? - A washstand?- Washstand.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22They look fantastic on a period chest of drawers.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24See how thin that veneer is?
0:33:24 > 0:33:27- Yes.- That's post Industrial Revolution.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30- That's a 19th-century veneer.- Oh, right.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Absolutely lovely.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34And the detail... Look at the font.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37It's got this break-front here. Cross-banding here.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40Probably boxwood stringing and maybe kingwood cross-banding.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Really vital there. Lovely, lovely.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44What do you think of £90 for that?
0:33:44 > 0:33:46- I think it's good to go. - Beautiful, yeah.
0:33:46 > 0:33:51- I think that is worth £80-£120 on a bad day anywhere.- Right.
0:33:51 > 0:33:56- Go for it?- Yes.- Do your best? - Let's go for it.- Right.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59Excited about finding a proper antique,
0:33:59 > 0:34:01the Reds went for it and,
0:34:01 > 0:34:04with Paul's help, got the price down to £50.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07Now then, what do you think to this?
0:34:07 > 0:34:10- That's unusual.- It's a bit green.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Bit green. Well, what do you prefer?
0:34:12 > 0:34:14Blue.
0:34:14 > 0:34:18Erm, that's rather nice. I have to say, I think you're right.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21- What struck you about this? - I thought it was very pretty.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24It's got nice detail on it and I did like the colour.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28- Yeah. And you do like sparkly things, don't you?- Yes, I do.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32It was probably made in Germany around 1925-1935.
0:34:32 > 0:34:36It would contain spirit and you've got four of what would originally
0:34:36 > 0:34:38have been six shot glasses.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41- Right.- They're almost like little miniature pudding bowls,
0:34:41 > 0:34:43- aren't they?- Yeah, they're lovely.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45- What do you think?- I really like it.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49Got good decorative value to it. I'd have it on my shelf in the house.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52Of course, the most important thing is it's all about cost.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54- So how much is it?- It's 65.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58If we can get that for below 50, I think it's got a chance.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01But are you sure? It's your last chance.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04My green, iridescent, Loetz vase or your blue?
0:35:04 > 0:35:07- I think the blue. I think it's nice.- Yeah.- We're the Blue team.
0:35:07 > 0:35:08We'll take the blue.
0:35:08 > 0:35:13OK. You go off with that and I'll mope with my rejected glass vase.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17Those girls love a bit of a sparkle.
0:35:17 > 0:35:23They couldn't resist the Art Deco decanter and shot glasses. £49 paid.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Oh, Carole, come and see these.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30I think it's Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33- Aye, indeed it is.- Do you really like them, Alison?
0:35:33 > 0:35:36- Yeah, I think they're quite nice. - I don't really like them.
0:35:36 > 0:35:40- Do you not?- They're not my cup of tea, but if you like them.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43- She's got a wee baby.- Fine. - Who would that be?
0:35:43 > 0:35:46Be, surely, Prince Edward, is it?
0:35:46 > 0:35:50- Depending on whether it's her first-born or not.- Well, that's true.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54Any idea of period, where these were made, where they would have stood?
0:35:54 > 0:35:57Maybe they were stood in front of an old-fashioned fireplace.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59Because I think they've got flat backs.
0:35:59 > 0:36:04- Well, they're referred to as Staffordshire flatbacks.- Oh, right.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07- Does what it says on the tin. - They're £60.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09I suppose that's not too bad.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12But if I can get them down, what do you think?
0:36:12 > 0:36:14Look, two figures and the condition's OK, I take it?
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Queen Victoria's only got one eye.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19I had no idea. Two good figures for £60.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23A fair retail price without a shadow of a doubt,
0:36:23 > 0:36:27but are we one voice? Are you convinced, Carole?
0:36:27 > 0:36:31Oh, yeah, if Alison likes them and they're not too pricey.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33Good luck. Right then. Go for it?
0:36:33 > 0:36:35- Right. - Good luck. We'd better go shopping.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Okey-doke.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40Alison went in hard with a low price.
0:36:40 > 0:36:45After a bit of discussion, she agreed on £40.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48It's rare for me to find a piece of furniture on Bargain Hunt,
0:36:48 > 0:36:50so whenever I get the opportunity, I go for it.
0:36:50 > 0:36:54This is a wonderful example of a 19th century Windsor chair.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56This is an ash and elm example made around 1850.
0:36:56 > 0:37:00- Great colour, isn't it? Do you like it?- I do.- I think it's nice, yeah.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03- It's got nice different tones all the way through it.- Yeah.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05It kind of looks sturdy as well.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08Well, it will take a good bashing around.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12- Yeah.- Try it out. It's the way to... I daren't.
0:37:12 > 0:37:13I mean, it won't take my weight,
0:37:13 > 0:37:16but it will take anything reasonable, you know.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19Very sturdy anyway. It's not going to collapse on me.
0:37:19 > 0:37:20Quite creaky, though!
0:37:20 > 0:37:23Oh, there's nothing better than a good, creaky chair.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26This type of chair is practical as well as desirable.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29It's £95 ticket price.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32I think we can get it for slightly less than that.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34- Yeah, definitely. - Hopefully, below 80.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38I would think in perfect condition, this chair would make £150-£250.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42- We should go for it.- Good price. - Yeah.- Sounds good to me. Go for it.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45I'll take that off and see what I can do for you.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48- Good luck.- Fantastic.- Thank you.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52James managed to knock £20 off the price and got it for 75.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56I really like this, Paul.
0:37:56 > 0:38:01- Is it silver? It says it's silver... - OK, then to start...- ..on the ticket.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Well, I'll answer you if you answer me.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06What is it and why are we looking at it?
0:38:06 > 0:38:09It's for when you play cards
0:38:09 > 0:38:13to tell you what the suit you're playing for whist.
0:38:13 > 0:38:17- A trump marker.- Yes.- Great stuff. Are you a card player by any chance?
0:38:17 > 0:38:20- I am, yes.- Aha! - Aha, and I don't have one of these.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23- Oh.- Alison has one.
0:38:23 > 0:38:24- Yes, I have.- Where did you get it?
0:38:24 > 0:38:27- From you.- It's trump-marker envy. Great stuff.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30It is nicely hallmarked silver, assayed at Chester,
0:38:30 > 0:38:34probably in the 1920's, maybe the 1930's.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36- I'm going to throw in a "but", though.- Oh, here we go.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39Have a look here at the wirework.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42There's a certain amount of defamation and even perhaps repairs.
0:38:42 > 0:38:46That said, you do the honours, what's the damage on that?
0:38:46 > 0:38:48£45.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51- 45.- Maybe a wee bit expensive.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54Mm. For that kind of money, I would really want a plum example.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58But at 25, I think you could come up trumps. Do you like that?
0:38:58 > 0:39:02Good Bargain Hunt line there.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04My word, that would be a job of work, wouldn't it?
0:39:04 > 0:39:06- 45 at the moment.- Yes.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09If you put that effort in... Are you up for it?
0:39:09 > 0:39:12- Yes, certainly. - Go for it. I'm rooting for you.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14I'll do my best.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Carole played her cards close
0:39:16 > 0:39:21to her chest while negotiating and eventually settled on £25.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23- Do you know what that is?- A jug.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25- Other than a jug?- A pretty one.
0:39:25 > 0:39:29It is, but if I'm not mistaken, just turn that over.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31Yeah, there we go.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34- Rhead.- Ah.- Charlotte Rhead.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36- One of Britain's leading designers.- OK.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39Charlotte Rhead is a well-known designer
0:39:39 > 0:39:42- and she specialised in what we call tube lining.- Uh-huh.
0:39:42 > 0:39:47This is made in the 1930's and it's a good thing. Well-spotted.
0:39:47 > 0:39:51- But what is this?- I had no idea it was in there.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55If it's in there, maybe he'll throw it in,
0:39:55 > 0:39:58if we can't get a good deal on it.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01- But how much is it, do you know?- I was told that the jug would be £75.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04- I didn't ask about this at the moment.- It's only a cane handle.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07They're difficult to sell, but if he'll throw it in too,
0:40:07 > 0:40:11I think if we can get that for less than £50,
0:40:11 > 0:40:14then we're in with a very good chance.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17- I'll try my very best.- You sure?
0:40:17 > 0:40:20- Do you both like it? - I love it.- I think it's lovely.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22- Fantastic, go for it.- Thank you.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24Maria sure smiled sweetly
0:40:24 > 0:40:27and got the parasol handle thrown in as well. The two cost them £50.
0:40:27 > 0:40:32I'm afraid the teams are out of luck. It time to stop shopping.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35Let's remind ourselves of what the Reds bought.
0:40:35 > 0:40:42The Reds got their hands on this 19th-century, mahogany mirror.
0:40:42 > 0:40:47It set them back £50. Will their enthusiasm rub off on the bidders?
0:40:47 > 0:40:52The flatback Staffordshire figures of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert
0:40:52 > 0:40:55cost Alison £40. Even though Queen Victorian is missing an eye,
0:40:55 > 0:40:59they're confident it won't put people off.
0:41:01 > 0:41:05Carole took Paul's advice on board
0:41:05 > 0:41:09and got the silver bridge trump marker down to £25. Not bad.
0:41:09 > 0:41:14- Did you have a good time shopping? - A marvellous time.- You did?- We did.
0:41:14 > 0:41:19- Good. Which is your favourite piece? - The toilet mirror.- Is it?
0:41:19 > 0:41:22Your favourite piece? What about you, Carole?
0:41:22 > 0:41:25- The card suit indicator.- The card suit indicator? You spent £115,
0:41:25 > 0:41:31which is pretty pathetic. But £185 therefore of leftover lolly...
0:41:31 > 0:41:37..winging straight across to our man, Paul Laidlaw.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40Got any idea as to how you're going to spend £185?
0:41:40 > 0:41:42I hope you'll spend all of it.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45I shall do my damnedest, but you know me.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48In support of our card-loving duo, I shall deal myself a demon hand,
0:41:48 > 0:41:52- play my cards right and turn a tidy profit.- Will you?- Indeed I shall.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55Well, you never speak with forked tongue, Paul, so good luck
0:41:55 > 0:41:58with your shopping. Nice to see you. Let's remind ourselves
0:41:58 > 0:42:01what the Blues bought.
0:42:01 > 0:42:05Maria and Gillian persuaded James that the Art Deco decanter set
0:42:05 > 0:42:09was the better buy at £49.
0:42:09 > 0:42:14Confident that two people will fight over the 19th-century Windsor chair,
0:42:14 > 0:42:17the girls stumped up £75 for it.
0:42:17 > 0:42:22The Charlotte Rhead jug caught Gillian's attention.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25What will the punters at auction make of this oddball combo?
0:42:25 > 0:42:28£50 paid.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31Did you have a good time?
0:42:31 > 0:42:33- Great time.- Fantastic. - You like shopping, secretly?
0:42:33 > 0:42:36- We do.- Love it.- Yeah! I knew that.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39- So which is your favourite piece, Maria?- The Windsor chair.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42Windsor chair? What about you, G?
0:42:42 > 0:42:46- The Charlotte Rhead jug.- Which piece will bring the biggest profit?
0:42:46 > 0:42:48- The jug.- Yeah, I'm going to say the jug actually.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50OK, we're all agreed on jugs.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53Excellent. £174, you spent.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56That's £126 of leftover lolly.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59Here we go. £126 of leftover lolly.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01- Thanks.- How are you feeling?
0:43:01 > 0:43:04Great. I'm worried that I'm not going to spend much of it.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06Are you not? Out to spend a modest amount?
0:43:06 > 0:43:10- A modest amount.- Oh, dear.- You're not going to be happy with me.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12Well, no. A man's got to do what a man's got to do. Anyway.
0:43:12 > 0:43:16- Good luck with it, James. - Thank you.- Super-duper.
0:43:18 > 0:43:22We popped up from the River Clyde to Great Western Auction Rooms
0:43:22 > 0:43:24here in Glasgow to be with Anita Manning. Good morning.
0:43:24 > 0:43:27Lovely to have the team here again, Tim.
0:43:27 > 0:43:30It's sweet of you to welcome us. It's great to be here.
0:43:30 > 0:43:33Now, Carole and Alison went with this mahogany toilet mirror.
0:43:33 > 0:43:37It's what you call on the big side, isn't it?
0:43:37 > 0:43:41Yeah, this is a very nice example of this type of item.
0:43:41 > 0:43:43It's in good condition.
0:43:43 > 0:43:46Will they make a profit do you think on £50?
0:43:46 > 0:43:48I've estimated it 40-60,
0:43:48 > 0:43:51but I'm hoping it will go towards the higher estimate.
0:43:51 > 0:43:54Well, that would be lovely, frankly.
0:43:54 > 0:43:58The pair of Staffordshire, Victorian figures, will they do all right?
0:43:58 > 0:44:03People are still collecting that type of thing. 40-60.
0:44:03 > 0:44:05Brilliant. They paid £40, so we're on the button.
0:44:05 > 0:44:10That's exciting. And what about the silver bridge scorer?
0:44:10 > 0:44:12- I find that this type of item does well.- Yes.
0:44:12 > 0:44:14The only question mark in my mind
0:44:14 > 0:44:17is how old the swinging tablets are. Do you think they're replacements?
0:44:17 > 0:44:21I think these have been replaced at a later date.
0:44:21 > 0:44:23They would have been in ivory or ivorine.
0:44:23 > 0:44:27They paid £25, which is pretty reasonable for something like that.
0:44:27 > 0:44:30- What do you think you'll get in the sale?- Estimate 20-30.
0:44:30 > 0:44:33So they're all pretty well on the button?
0:44:33 > 0:44:37But they may need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:44:37 > 0:44:39Girls, you spent £115.
0:44:39 > 0:44:42You gave Paul Laidlaw £185. What did he buy?
0:44:42 > 0:44:47- What do you think of that?- Oh! - Oh? Deary me. Ouch!
0:44:47 > 0:44:52- I like the top of it. - It's rather unusual, isn't it?
0:44:52 > 0:44:55This cries out Art and Crafts.
0:44:55 > 0:44:59And I assure you, you can hang your hat on Arts and Crafts
0:44:59 > 0:45:01at auction any day of the week.
0:45:01 > 0:45:05- How much did you pay for it? - I paid £35 for that.
0:45:05 > 0:45:08Aw, right. That's not bad. What's it like inside?
0:45:08 > 0:45:11- It's rather smart. Look at that. - Oh.- Clean.
0:45:11 > 0:45:14Oh, I expected it to be...
0:45:14 > 0:45:16- Disappointing inside.- Yes.
0:45:16 > 0:45:20Lovely satinwood. Make a lovely little jewellery casket, let's say.
0:45:20 > 0:45:21Ask me what it's worth.
0:45:21 > 0:45:23- I'm not mad about it. - We'll think about it.
0:45:23 > 0:45:26We'll think about it. Put it into your safekeeping.
0:45:26 > 0:45:28The audience will be mad about it.
0:45:28 > 0:45:32- £30-£50.- Oh, right.- You'll sleep easy at that, I'm telling you.- Oh, well.
0:45:32 > 0:45:34You don't have to decide now.
0:45:34 > 0:45:36You decide after the sale of your first three items.
0:45:36 > 0:45:39For the audience, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks.
0:45:39 > 0:45:41Two elements that are very attractive.
0:45:41 > 0:45:46The little Ruskin-type roundel and scarab beetles!
0:45:46 > 0:45:51- Scarab beetles, symbols of the rising sun or transformation.- Mmm.
0:45:51 > 0:45:56- I think that gives it a little edge. I like it.- What's it worth?
0:45:56 > 0:45:58I've estimated it 30-40.
0:45:58 > 0:46:02Cunning old Paul, he only paid £35, so he's got a chance with that.
0:46:02 > 0:46:05- Yes.- That is it for the Reds.
0:46:05 > 0:46:11Now for the Blues. Their first item is the elm and ash Windsor armchair.
0:46:11 > 0:46:14Well, people still like these chairs.
0:46:14 > 0:46:17They are comfortable. They're nice in any setting.
0:46:17 > 0:46:20This is a typical example.
0:46:20 > 0:46:24- Yes. What's it worth? - I've estimated it 70-90.
0:46:24 > 0:46:26Great. They paid £75.
0:46:26 > 0:46:28So straight up, they should make a profit on that.
0:46:28 > 0:46:31- Yes.- Which would be great. The Art Deco, silver,
0:46:31 > 0:46:34overlaid glass...decanter set, really.
0:46:34 > 0:46:39They're shot glasses, I suppose. How old do you think that set is?
0:46:39 > 0:46:42'30s, '40s. In that period.
0:46:42 > 0:46:45It has an Art Deco look about it.
0:46:45 > 0:46:48- Yes.- And it has a wee bit of quality.
0:46:48 > 0:46:51They paid £49. What's your estimate?
0:46:51 > 0:46:56- Estimate 40-60.- Great. So they paid the mid-type price, which is fine.
0:46:56 > 0:46:59Now we've got an odd lot, with the Charlotte Rhead tube-lined
0:46:59 > 0:47:04vase and a parasol handle, which is a bit bizarre, isn't it?
0:47:04 > 0:47:07I wonder if they were giving this out free with anything
0:47:07 > 0:47:09- that was bought?- Could be.
0:47:09 > 0:47:13But the Charlotte Rhead pot in its own right is quite a nice object.
0:47:13 > 0:47:15This is quite a nice pattern.
0:47:15 > 0:47:18- And you get the parasol handle. So how much?- 40-60.
0:47:18 > 0:47:21They paid £50. So again, middle for diddle.
0:47:21 > 0:47:23They're right in the middle with most.
0:47:23 > 0:47:25In any event, they've got their bonus buy,
0:47:25 > 0:47:27so let's go and have a look at it.
0:47:27 > 0:47:30What do you think to that?
0:47:30 > 0:47:32Interesting!
0:47:32 > 0:47:36- You don't look thrilled? - Like a plant pot.- It's brown.
0:47:36 > 0:47:39- That is exactly what it is. - For a bonsai tree?- Exactly.
0:47:39 > 0:47:44It's cast in bronze. It's been patinated with a brown finish.
0:47:44 > 0:47:45It's not the best of castings.
0:47:45 > 0:47:49It's nothing really special. But the name of the game is profit
0:47:49 > 0:47:52and there's definitely a profit in that.
0:47:52 > 0:47:56I think you're both going to be thrilled
0:47:56 > 0:47:58when you find out that I spent £10.
0:47:58 > 0:48:00- Oh, really?- Oh, brilliant!
0:48:00 > 0:48:03- That's really good.- Yeah? - I like it a lot better now, yeah.
0:48:03 > 0:48:04Yeah? That's great.
0:48:04 > 0:48:06How much profit do you think? £10 or £20 then?
0:48:06 > 0:48:09- Yeah, £20.- Think it's worth £30 or £40?- 30, 35.
0:48:09 > 0:48:11- It's cast bronze?- Yeah.
0:48:11 > 0:48:15- It's got some age.- It's 100 years old. It's worth that for scrap.
0:48:15 > 0:48:18Still, you don't decide now. You decide later.
0:48:18 > 0:48:21For you at home, let's see what the auctioneer thinks of James' bowl.
0:48:21 > 0:48:25A wee bit of quality there and a lovely patina.
0:48:25 > 0:48:27- How much?- 15-25.
0:48:27 > 0:48:28Well, he only paid £10.
0:48:28 > 0:48:30It could do more than that.
0:48:30 > 0:48:32- Could it?- Yes. - What, like make £50 maybe?
0:48:32 > 0:48:35Maybe that's a bit much to ask.
0:48:35 > 0:48:38Well, we'll see in a minute. Thank you, Anita.
0:48:40 > 0:48:41130. With you, sir, at 130.
0:48:41 > 0:48:45All done at 130. 130.
0:48:45 > 0:48:49So, Carole, Alison, here we are at the edge of the auction.
0:48:49 > 0:48:50How excited are you, Carole?
0:48:50 > 0:48:52- Very excited.- Are you? Good.
0:48:52 > 0:48:54- What about you, Alison?- Awfully.
0:48:54 > 0:48:57Awfully? Have you got butterflies and everything?
0:48:57 > 0:48:59- Oh, yes. - Have you? Well, that's good.
0:48:59 > 0:49:04First lot is Paul's toilet mirror and here it comes.
0:49:04 > 0:49:06Lot 118, ladies and gentlemen,
0:49:06 > 0:49:11is this early Victorian, mahogany, swing toilet mirror.
0:49:11 > 0:49:14Will you start me at £50?
0:49:14 > 0:49:16Start me at 50.
0:49:16 > 0:49:18£30, then?
0:49:18 > 0:49:20£30. 30 bid.

0:49:31 > 0:49:34Any advance on £70? All done at £70?
0:49:34 > 0:49:36£70.
0:49:36 > 0:49:38- Fab!- Plus £20. Good girls.
0:49:38 > 0:49:40- A start.- Well done, Paul.

0:49:58 > 0:50:02Any advance on 100. 100.
0:50:02 > 0:50:04- Well done.- Oh!
0:50:04 > 0:50:06Plus 60 on that lot.
0:50:06 > 0:50:09That's brilliant. You're £80 up already.
0:50:09 > 0:50:15Now it's a wee, silver bridge trump marker and it's Chester, 1910.

0:50:36 > 0:50:40- Well done!- 32, back in. 32.
0:50:40 > 0:50:4335. 35. With the lady at 35.
0:50:43 > 0:50:45Any advance on 35?
0:50:45 > 0:50:47All done at 35? 35.
0:50:47 > 0:50:49Brilliant. Plus £10 on that.
0:50:49 > 0:50:53Overall, you are plus £90, all right? You've got £90 in the bank.
0:50:53 > 0:50:57- Good result. - You only spent £115 and you've made
0:50:57 > 0:51:00£90 profit, which is absolutely brilliant. Congratulations.
0:51:00 > 0:51:04But what are you going to do about the Ruskin-encrusted box?
0:51:04 > 0:51:08Whatcha going to do? It's £35 worth of box.
0:51:08 > 0:51:13- No.- Are you going to trust Paul?- No. - You're not going to trust him?- No.
0:51:13 > 0:51:17OK, they're not taking the bonus buy, but we're going to see what
0:51:17 > 0:51:20the box is worth anyway and sell it and here it comes.
0:51:20 > 0:51:25Lot 124 is this charming Arts and Crafts box.
0:51:25 > 0:51:28Can we say £20?
0:51:28 > 0:51:32£20. 20 bid. 25.
0:51:32 > 0:51:35- 30. 35. 40, fresh bidder.- Oh!

0:51:42 > 0:51:46Well done, Paul. Plus £20 on that.
0:51:46 > 0:51:48You didn't go with the bonus buy.
0:51:48 > 0:51:51You didn't trust your man, but, nevertheless,
0:51:51 > 0:51:54you do have an overall profit of £90, which is brilliant.
0:51:54 > 0:51:58- Now your next job is not to say a word to the Blues.- No, we won't.
0:51:58 > 0:52:01- All right. Not a word.- No.- Schtum!
0:52:08 > 0:52:11- Gillian and Maria, do you know how the Reds got on?- No.
0:52:11 > 0:52:14- No.- No. Got any hints?
0:52:14 > 0:52:16They looked quite chuffed though, so...
0:52:16 > 0:52:19- Did they look chuffed? - We'll wait and see.
0:52:19 > 0:52:21That could be a dummy. Don't fall for it.
0:52:21 > 0:52:24First up, though, is the Windsor armchair and here it comes.
0:52:24 > 0:52:26142, ladies and gentlemen.
0:52:26 > 0:52:29It's 19th century. It's a Windsor chair.

0:52:32 > 0:52:3560. 70. 80. 90.

0:52:51 > 0:52:54Any advance on 180? All done at 180?
0:52:54 > 0:52:57£180.
0:52:57 > 0:53:01You are plus 105. That's an achievement.
0:53:01 > 0:53:03143, ladies and gentlemen.
0:53:03 > 0:53:08One of my favourite items and it's not just because it's a decanter!
0:53:08 > 0:53:10LAUGHTER
0:53:10 > 0:53:15But it's a lovely sapphire blue Art Deco decanter and glasses.
0:53:15 > 0:53:17Start me at £40. 40, surely. £40.
0:53:17 > 0:53:20£40. 30, then? 30 bid.
0:53:20 > 0:53:23- 40. 50.- Come on.
0:53:23 > 0:53:26- 60. 70.- Oh, my God!
0:53:26 > 0:53:29At £70. Any advance on £70?
0:53:29 > 0:53:32All done at £70? £70.
0:53:32 > 0:53:34Yes!
0:53:34 > 0:53:36Amazing, isn't it? £21 on that.
0:53:36 > 0:53:39That's very good. Charlotte Rhead next.
0:53:39 > 0:53:42Lot 144. Two bids on this lot.
0:53:42 > 0:53:47Now you have Charlotte Rhead and you've got a wee parasol top
0:53:47 > 0:53:51to go with it. Start me at 30 then. 30 bid. 40. 50.
0:53:51 > 0:53:5660. £60. 70.
0:53:56 > 0:53:57Any advance on £70?
0:53:57 > 0:54:01All done at £70? £70.
0:54:01 > 0:54:04£70. Good. Another profit of £20.
0:54:04 > 0:54:08- You are £146 up.- Oh, my God!
0:54:08 > 0:54:10- 146.- Good.
0:54:10 > 0:54:12Now are you going to go with this bowl?
0:54:12 > 0:54:14I think we should.
0:54:14 > 0:54:17Because we've just read Gillian's star sign and it said that
0:54:17 > 0:54:19she had a bonus coming her way.
0:54:19 > 0:54:21So that's our bonus. I think we should.
0:54:21 > 0:54:24Your star sign says you've got a bonus coming
0:54:24 > 0:54:26and you're going to go with the bonus buy?
0:54:26 > 0:54:28We can only lose a tenner, so come on.
0:54:28 > 0:54:30And you have 146 in the bank.
0:54:30 > 0:54:33- That's rare.- Yeah.- All right. You're going with the bonus buy?
0:54:33 > 0:54:35- Definitely?- Definitely.
