0:00:02 > 0:00:06Dr Dolittle was known for talking to animals and as we know they just can't talk back.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08TIM: Oh yes we can.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10Did anybody else hear that?
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Can we go bargain hunting now, Tim?
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Ooh.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Coming up today,
0:00:41 > 0:00:44The Reds aim for a high score.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47The Blues get thoroughly rattled.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Over at the auction there's some interesting feedback on the bonus buy.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55It reminds me of the Dark Ages.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58But it's a risky business under the hammer.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00You're a couple of gluttons for punishment.
0:01:00 > 0:01:06Today I'm at the University Of Derby at a Jaguar Antiques Fair.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09We've got two teams who deal a lot with animals
0:01:09 > 0:01:11and I'm going to give them £300 apiece
0:01:11 > 0:01:17to buy three objects to take away and sell at auction and hopefully make a beefy profit.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18COW MOOS
0:01:20 > 0:01:23For the Reds, we've workmates, friends, colleagues,
0:01:23 > 0:01:30- Sam and Ian, and for the Blues we've got mother and son, James and Anita. Welcome to Bargain Hunt.- Hello, Tim.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- Hi.- So, you two met through work.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35What do you do exactly?
0:01:35 > 0:01:37- We're farmers, Tim.- Farmers.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41- And what sort of farm have you got? - It's mixed and arable.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44So how many head of cows are there knocking about?
0:01:44 > 0:01:45180.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48180, gosh.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50- You certainly do need some help. - Certainly do.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53- They need milking how many times a day?- Twice, Tim.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55- Twice a day.- Twice a day.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58And how long does it take you to milk 180 head of cattle?
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- About an hour and a half. - Is that all?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Sam, how did you finish up by farming?
0:02:03 > 0:02:07I've always enjoyed farming. I've always done it when I was young lad.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09My dad's a farmer. His dad was a farmer.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12My great-granddad was a farmer as well, so it's in the blood.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- Yes, you couldn't do anything else.- No, no.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19- Is it good fun? Do you enjoy it? - Yeah, I enjoy it. Yeah, I love farming.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22So what makes you two think you're going to be any good on Bargain Hunt?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- A very good question! - You've watched the programme a bit?
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Oh, religiously.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29- We even have a wager.- Do you?- Yes.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31How does that work then?
0:02:31 > 0:02:35Well, Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays...eh...Fridays,
0:02:35 > 0:02:38I get to pick and Tuesdays and Thursdays, Sam gets to pick.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41And you're picking the team you think are going to win?
0:02:41 > 0:02:46- Yeah. We put a pound on the table. Normally whoever gets to pick does win.- I see.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48So I'm a pound a week up!
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- And when will he get three? - He never does. I'm the boss.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55You're boss.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58I think you're going to do very well on Bargain Hunt.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Now, James, what do you do with yourself?
0:03:00 > 0:03:02I'm a student at Loughborough.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- I'm doing three-dimensional design. - What does that mean?
0:03:05 > 0:03:09It's furniture, silversmithing and jewellery and ceramics.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11You have to design it and you have to make it.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14And what about you, Anita, what do you do?
0:03:14 > 0:03:19I do freelance work from home and restore Victorian antique dolls
0:03:19 > 0:03:23and do landscape watercolour paintings on commission.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27So you're incredibly creative as a pair then, actually.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Well, we try. We try to be.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32James, you've got some unusual pets.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Yes, I've got two lizards. I've got one called Artemis,
0:03:35 > 0:03:38who's a bearded dragon, about this big,
0:03:38 > 0:03:41and one called Socrates, who's a leopard gecko.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45What's it with you and these reptiles? Why reptiles?
0:03:45 > 0:03:48I don't know, they're a bit different. You don't see many.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52No, you don't, but your interest in animals doesn't stop with live ones, does it?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55No. I've got a collection of taxidermy as well,
0:03:55 > 0:04:00which I buy and also restore part-time, so I've got about 40 pieces now.
0:04:00 > 0:04:05Have you really, gosh! That's an unusual collection for a youngster to have.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07- It is.- Well, I think our farming friends
0:04:07 > 0:04:10should be quaking in their boots at that. Now, the money moment.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Here comes your £300, 300 smackers.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17There you go. You know the rules, your experts await and off you go.
0:04:17 > 0:04:24They may well be animal-lovers but we can't let them loose without the help of a human helping hand.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25MUSIC: "Wild Thing" by The Troggs
0:04:25 > 0:04:30For the Red team, Kate Bliss, who's in fine fettle.
0:04:30 > 0:04:36And for the Blues, cool cat David Harper, who always gets the cream.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51- We've got one hour exactly. Shall we go for it?- Yes. Absolutely. - Lead the way. Come on.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53There's loads to see. We've got a top floor
0:04:53 > 0:04:55and quite a bit downstairs
0:04:55 > 0:04:57but we'll have a look round down here first.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59- Yeah?- OK, no probs.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- That's unusual. - A policeman's rattle, early 1800s.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15- Early 1800, that's quite a rare beastie, isn't it? - RATTLE CLACKS
0:05:15 > 0:05:17It makes a racket, doesn't it?
0:05:17 > 0:05:19It does. It's definitely different.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23I can see people wanting to pick it up and play with it I suppose.
0:05:23 > 0:05:28- Do you know why it's a police rattle as opposed to a football fan's rattle?- No, no.- Any ideas?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- It doesn't look any different to me. - Not much different.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Apart from the finial here, because police regulation,
0:05:34 > 0:05:36you know the police are big on regulations.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40- Oh yeah, health and safety. - Health and safety, early-1800 standard this,
0:05:40 > 0:05:43they weren't allowed to do that,
0:05:43 > 0:05:47probably because they might whack themselves out, even worse.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50They had to hold it in one hand like that, grab the finial
0:05:50 > 0:05:55and do this and that was to attract attention before the use of whistles. Have a feel of it.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- It's very tactile.- It is, yeah.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01You can tell it's been used. It's really light.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Have a feel.
0:06:04 > 0:06:09- Give it a turn, Mum. - It's noisy, isn't it?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- Call him for his tea.- Brilliant!
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- Come in from the garden, dear! - It's brilliant.- Brilliant, isn't it?
0:06:14 > 0:06:16- Do you like it?- Yeah.- I like that.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18We'd have to do something on the price.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- Shall we get a price on it?- Yeah, I think we need to try to get it down.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24# I fought the law and the law won
0:06:24 > 0:06:27# I fought the law and the... #
0:06:27 > 0:06:31After making a racket they got the rattle down to £40, what a racket!
0:06:31 > 0:06:37So five minutes into their shop and the Blues have already made their first purchase.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Things aren't so hot though for the Reds.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44That's lovely. Out of our price range I'm afraid, guys, that one.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47It's quite fun but I don't know how old it is. No?
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Nothing that grabs you. Let's move on then.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53- No, it doesn't grab me.- OK, we've got a bit of furniture here.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Furniture doesn't do too well, does it?
0:06:55 > 0:07:01Not satisfied with just one quirky buy, the Blues have spotted another mystery item.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03A wooden cigarette holder.
0:07:03 > 0:07:08- That's unusual.- I suppose the downside is that people don't smoke much now, do they?
0:07:08 > 0:07:11It's funny because smoking things are still collected.
0:07:11 > 0:07:17They were always very good news a number of years ago, so that's probably Edwardian, maybe 1920s.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21I quite like that, don't you? It's unusual design, isn't it.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23It's not bad, made out of oak.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28You see that quarter cut, the way the oak is cut is a very expensive way of doing it,
0:07:28 > 0:07:31so you get that real vibrant grain, that real pale grain
0:07:31 > 0:07:35matching the dark veins going through, so it's called quarter cut
0:07:35 > 0:07:37and what happens, you fill it with cigarettes
0:07:37 > 0:07:42and if you go like that, the cigarette will pop out and stand on your holder.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- That's good. - It's very cute and quirky, isn't it?
0:07:45 > 0:07:46It is. Has it got a price?
0:07:46 > 0:07:51- Well, it's priced up at...£18.- 18.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55- It's no money, is it?- It isn't, no. - Especially if we can get it down.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57James, you fancy yourself as bit of a king negotiator?
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- The pressure's on now.- OK.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- Are we agreed we want it?- Yes. - If we can get the right price.
0:08:03 > 0:08:09- I think so, yes.- Let's say we're going to have it, it's £18, you go away and do your best.- OK.- OK.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Good luck.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14What's the absolute best you can do?
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Let's have a look.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18It's marked up at 18.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22Got 18 on it. The very best would be 14.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24- Could you do it for 12? - I couldn't, I'm afraid.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- That's the very best. - You sure?- Yeah.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29- Right.- It's a nice piece.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31- It is.- Quirky.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32OK, yeah. 14?
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- OK.- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:08:36 > 0:08:41It's a shame James isn't a student at the School Of Negotiations!
0:08:41 > 0:08:43I got it.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- Oh, I say.- I got him down £4 to 14.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47That's not bad, is it?
0:08:47 > 0:08:52He wouldn't go any lower but I thought it's worth it for the money.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56- Did you try and push him? - Yes, I tried to push him but he wouldn't take it lower.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58That's a good discount, well done.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Well done. You two are superstars.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04- Thank you very much.- We've loads of time left. Let's have a jaunt.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05A little wander round, yes.
0:09:07 > 0:09:14How pleasant, this is turning out into a rather a nice day for the Blues.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17I love a bit of furniture, furniture is my first love in actual fact,
0:09:17 > 0:09:21but it's not been doing well but let me tell you something,
0:09:21 > 0:09:23it's just starting to do very well, furniture.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28The Reds however seem to be rather more particular.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35- What do you think? I mean...- I don't like it to be honest with you.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36You don't like it either?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38135 quid!
0:09:40 > 0:09:45- No.- Don't worry, guys, we'll find something.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49It's a lovely silver inkwell, it's 175 that it's marked at though.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Expensive. What do you think that will make in auction?
0:09:52 > 0:09:56- Probably not a great deal.- Will it not?- Because of that book, yeah.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59- Have you found anything? - No! We're panicking.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Kate's got her work cut out.
0:10:02 > 0:10:09But the Blues have got completely sidetracked and are just having a good old jolly.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- I'd quite like that, how much is it? - Seven quid.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Oh, I'll put that one by.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19For my own collection.
0:10:20 > 0:10:25I know you've got time on your hands, Anita, but personal shopping is against the rules.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28I quite like him, I've got to say, Michelin Man.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- Who would buy him though? - They always do really well.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33If he's a proper one.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36I like that, don't you?
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- We've got so much money left, I think we should try something more expensive. Come on.- OK.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Life couldn't get any better for the Blues.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48But the Reds are already starting to feel the pressure.
0:10:48 > 0:10:53We're fairly tight on time, we haven't got anything solid yet. Tricky, isn't it?
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Right guys, where shall we go? Let's have a think.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58It's really difficult.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05- Hello.- It's like a day in the park. How are you getting on with this shop?
0:11:05 > 0:11:08We're enjoying it. It's super.
0:11:08 > 0:11:15- You've bought two things very quickly, right, and now you're just strolling around and relaxing.- Yes.
0:11:15 > 0:11:20- Have a great time and good luck with the last item. See you.- Thank you.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23# Sure plays a mean pinball... #
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Do it again, I'll twist it.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28They sure haven't scored the jackpot with the shopping yet,
0:11:28 > 0:11:31so it looks like the Reds are finding other ways to score.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33I bet you can't do it again!
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Made in England, so it's post-1940, obviously.
0:11:40 > 0:11:45It's a little bit of the remains of an old label on the back there look.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Yeah, yeah. I like that. I think we should go for that.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- It's unique. I haven't seen one before.- No, I haven't.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53I haven't. I thought without the name on it
0:11:53 > 0:11:56then it might get a bit lost and we'd be struggling
0:11:56 > 0:11:58but with that Chad Valley name
0:11:58 > 0:12:02I think that's going to really draw some collectors. £35 isn't too bad.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05I'd prefer to see it at about 25.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- We need to go a bit lower. - Hang on, look at this.
0:12:08 > 0:12:14It's got its box, look, as well, a bit tatty but a lovely label
0:12:14 > 0:12:18there, look, Chad Valley bagatelle and the number there.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Isn't that nice? I think it's certainly '50s.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- It's nice.- With the box as well, it's quite nice.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- I'm happy with that.- Why don't I go and see what I can do?
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- Yeah.- All right, keep hunting, guys.- OK then.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37Over half an hour in and the Reds have made their first purchase. Hoorah!
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Right, guys, that bagatelle game, £30 is the lowest.
0:12:40 > 0:12:45- I've tried everything but he's not going to go any lower. Happy?- Yeah.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47- Brilliant. I'll catch you up. - All right.
0:12:50 > 0:12:55David has decided to help the Blues pass the time by educating them in the arts.
0:12:55 > 0:13:00This is called an Nyaminyami stick and I know where it's from, it's from Zimbabwe.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03It's from Lake Kariba, the Zambezi Valley way.
0:13:03 > 0:13:09I know that because I used to live there, so I've had a number of Nyaminyami sticks in my time
0:13:09 > 0:13:14and this here is Nyaminyami, the Goddess of Lake Kariba and the Zambezi River.
0:13:14 > 0:13:20Now I actually lost my last Nyaminyami stick in one of my moves so I might come back for this later
0:13:20 > 0:13:25because I do need a replacement because I'd say everybody needs an Nyaminyami stick.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Yes, well, with a name like that you do.
0:13:28 > 0:13:33And the Reds are getting an education of their own from Kate.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36This box is made from the Elizabeth Oak
0:13:36 > 0:13:39at Heveningham, 1853.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Now if this is silver-gilt in here, guys,
0:13:42 > 0:13:47and I would think, you know, there's a strong possibility it might be,
0:13:47 > 0:13:51just the way that this lettering is engraved, it's very nicely done.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54It's got the feeling of quality.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57I'd suggest that that might well be silver-gilt.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00You can see there's white metal showing through there.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03It's just got the feel, sometimes you just get a feel
0:14:03 > 0:14:06actually physically touching it of what sort of material it might be.
0:14:06 > 0:14:12If this is silver-gilt then I think that's a very collectable little box.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15The stallholder says he'll do it for 80 for us.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19He did have 160 on it. So he's giving it basically at half price.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23I think that's worth a gamble and what's more if we can find out
0:14:23 > 0:14:26where Heveningham is and do a little bit of research
0:14:26 > 0:14:31also about this Elizabethan oak tree before the auction, get them to put that in the catalogue,
0:14:31 > 0:14:35- I think this might be worth quite a gamble.- Could be a winner, could it?
0:14:35 > 0:14:40It could be a couple of hundred pounds-worth, if that's gilt and we can find the provenance.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42- What do you think?- Worth a try.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Yeah. Yeah. Razor sharp, that is.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47- It's a gamble, isn't it? - It is a gamble.
0:14:47 > 0:14:53- It might not be silver-gilt but I think it's worth a punt, what do you think?- Right, let's go for it.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00After getting carried away enjoying themselves, the Blues realised
0:15:00 > 0:15:03that they may have been a bit frivolous with their time.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07- Guys, we've got just over 10 minutes.- Right.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09So, it goes like that, doesn't it?
0:15:09 > 0:15:13- It does.- So, with tight time, our teams need to pull their finger out.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16What do you think, guys? We looked at hatpins earlier.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Come and have a look, Sam.
0:15:18 > 0:15:24This one is special because it's got the little initials there that you can just see. Can you see that?
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Just.
0:15:26 > 0:15:31That CH stands for, if you like, the Rolls Royce maker of hatpins.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35- Really?- A chap called Charles Horner, who was based in Halifax,
0:15:35 > 0:15:38known for making thimbles and jewellery,
0:15:38 > 0:15:42but also he really majored on designing and manufacturing hatpins.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45And he was working early part of the 20th century.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47So, this is silver.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Art Nouveau if you like, in date.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53Also, a very military symbol of the Grenadier Guards.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56So, that makes it quite commercial in itself.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00The fact that it's Charles Horner is really going to attract collectors.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01- I think it's quite sweet.- Yeah.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03- How much is it?- Let's ask.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- What's your very best, sir? - The best I can do is £20.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08£20. OK.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10What do you think about that, guys?
0:16:10 > 0:16:12It's in the budget.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- It's quite affordable for a hatpin. - I think we should go for it.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- Let's go for it.- Yeah. You happy?
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- Happy.- OK. I'll just pop it in here for you.
0:16:20 > 0:16:21- That's our three bids.- Brilliant.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23I'll tell you what, I'm thirsty.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25- What do you reckon?- Very thirsty.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29- Is it your round? We've got a bit left over, haven't we? - Come on, then.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34# I am a cider drinker... #
0:16:34 > 0:16:38So, the Reds have managed to pip the Blues to the post.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41But there'll be no cider drinking for the Blues just yet
0:16:41 > 0:16:44as they've left their final buy to the last minute.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47- That's quite interesting. - Do you know what it is?
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Have a look inside there.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- Some sort of building. - Yeah, but what's that?
0:16:52 > 0:16:54It's a magnifying glass.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58- It's magnifying. - Hold it up to your eye.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00I think it looks...
0:17:00 > 0:17:04- What can you see?- It says along the bottom, Buxton Crescent.
0:17:04 > 0:17:09- We know Buxton. We know Buxton very well.- You recognise it, do you?
0:17:09 > 0:17:11- Still got the carriages in. It's quite old.- Oh, yes.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14This is very interesting. Let me have a look.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16You two are hogging it!
0:17:17 > 0:17:21Look at the carriages. They're absolutely fantastic. Carriages and horses.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25- It looks about 1840s. Looking at the carriages.- It sounds about right.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Do you know exactly what that was for?
0:17:28 > 0:17:29- No.- It was a tourist piece.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33Cheap ones would have been little wooden boxes.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36This is made out of alabaster with, obviously,
0:17:36 > 0:17:38a brass base to the lid there,
0:17:38 > 0:17:41for a little bit of protection. I love it.
0:17:41 > 0:17:46I love it. I think we want to buy it as long as it's within budget.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48- We've got loads, haven't we? - We've got a bit.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50I don't think we've spent too much.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53We don't have very much time. We've literally got minutes now.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55I think we ought to go for this.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Well, it's subject to price, isn't it?
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Do you want me to have a word?
0:18:00 > 0:18:02- Yes.- OK. There he is, over there.
0:18:04 > 0:18:10Talk about the last minute. The Blues bagged the magnifier for £100 with moments to spare.
0:18:10 > 0:18:17Our teams have now hunted high and low to find those pieces they hope will make a profit later at auction.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Now it's up to the expert to take the leftover lolly
0:18:20 > 0:18:25and have that difficult task of finding items to boost their profits.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Those pieces will be revealed later at the auction.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31If they go with the item, then it will boost their profit.
0:18:31 > 0:18:36If they don't and it bombs, it could just blow them out of the water.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Bang!
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Lordy! It took the Reds a while to make any decisions
0:18:41 > 0:18:46but they were all game for the 1950s Chad Valley pinball game.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49They parted with £80 for the Victorian oak snuffbox.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Not to be sniffed at.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56And it caught Ian's eye - the Charles Horner silver hatpin.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00That was a very slow start, wasn't it? Then you put a spurt on.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- We did.- Which is good form. - We finally got going.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05You spent £130, which is pretty modest really.
0:19:05 > 0:19:10- You're going to give me £170 of leftover lolly for Kate.- Lovely!
0:19:10 > 0:19:14Kate, you come from an agricultural area. Have you been bonding?
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Do you know, us bumpkins, we get on really well together.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- Do you keep any livestock yourself? - Just a husband.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Good luck. What are you going to spend all that money on?
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Do you know, they've bought some really nice things.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28I think I'm going to go for something rather rustic.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Rustic? For a country area.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32- Absolutely.- Good luck with that.
0:19:32 > 0:19:38Let's remind ourselves what the Reds are up against by reminding ourselves what the Blues bought.
0:19:39 > 0:19:44The Blues made a lot of noise with the 19th-century wooden rattle.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47They were quick off the mark with their second buy -
0:19:47 > 0:19:48the cigarette-barrel case.
0:19:48 > 0:19:54A third of their budget went on this unusual 1840s magnifying box.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59So, we don't really need to give you two guys an hour to go shopping.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02They just need what, 20 minutes, something like that?
0:20:02 > 0:20:04- 15 will do, Tim.- So cool.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08I can't tell you. You spent £154.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10I'd like £146. There we go.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- There's 146.- Good show.
0:20:13 > 0:20:14How's your shopping been?
0:20:14 > 0:20:16- Very quick.- Yes. Nice, isn't it?
0:20:16 > 0:20:19It's brilliant. Why don't they make them all like that?
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Quite. What are you going to do?
0:20:21 > 0:20:25There's a theme going here - an animal theme running through the programme.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29I'm going to get with the programme and buy something a bit animal-like.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Not a real one. Something that looks like one.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34We'll watch carefully, David. Good luck!
0:20:34 > 0:20:38For me, I'm heading off somewhere with a right royal connection.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53I'm at Hatfield House in Hertfordshire,
0:20:53 > 0:20:58which has a long-standing connection with politics and royalty.
0:20:58 > 0:21:04Most particularly Queen Elizabeth I spent most of her childhood here,
0:21:04 > 0:21:07in what remains of the old palace.
0:21:12 > 0:21:19On November 17th, 1558, Princess Elizabeth was at her Hatfield estate,
0:21:19 > 0:21:24when she received the news that she was Queen of England.
0:21:24 > 0:21:31Within hours, Queen Elizabeth I held her first Council Of State in the Great Hall of the royal palace.
0:21:31 > 0:21:36The first person that she appointed was her trusted adviser,
0:21:36 > 0:21:39William Cecil, who she later created Lord Burghley.
0:21:39 > 0:21:45That is how this house came to be in the hands of the Cecil family.
0:21:45 > 0:21:52Robert Cecil, son of Lord Burghley, built the grand new house and it has been kept in the family ever since.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56However, there is still a presence of Elizabeth I here.
0:21:56 > 0:22:03One of the largest and grandest rooms at Hatfield is this - the King James drawing room.
0:22:03 > 0:22:08Dominated by a statue of King James and certainly extraordinary
0:22:08 > 0:22:15because of the vast number of paintings that there are crammed on the walls in this room.
0:22:19 > 0:22:26There'd be more than 60 paintings here. They're all old pictures - between 300 and 400 years old.
0:22:26 > 0:22:31And if you took the cumulative age of all the paintings in this room,
0:22:31 > 0:22:34it would total some 24,000 years.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38The painting I particularly want to look at is this fellow.
0:22:44 > 0:22:49Robert Cecil owned no less than four portraits of Queen Elizabeth I.
0:22:49 > 0:22:55This one, according to its label, purports to be by Nicholas Hilliard, who's best known for painting
0:22:55 > 0:23:00tiny little pictures in this period - little miniatures on ivory and copper.
0:23:00 > 0:23:05The other possible attribution is an artist called William Seagar.
0:23:05 > 0:23:11Whoever actually painted it, you have to admit, it is a magnificent work of art.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14As an image, it's slightly old fashioned.
0:23:14 > 0:23:20The icon of Queen Elizabeth's face is not marred by any shadow at all.
0:23:20 > 0:23:28It's almost as if the Renaissance and 3D in perspective just haven't touched this picture.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32But her image is strong and regal.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36All the elements in the picture are strictly emblematic.
0:23:36 > 0:23:42What we've got is a powerful queen, who's sending a message that she's also a peacemaker.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46And that's why she's holding an olive branch.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49She has authority. She's powerful.
0:23:49 > 0:23:57That's shown by the Sword of State which also keeps the date of the picture, which is 1585.
0:23:57 > 0:24:02Most peculiarly, we've got this rodent crawling up her arm.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05This little rodent symbolises virginity.
0:24:05 > 0:24:13Because, by this period, Queen Elizabeth I was very much regarded as the Virgin Queen.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17Think about it - had she married some Spaniard or French man,
0:24:17 > 0:24:21part of her life would be dominated by her husband.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25She regarded herself as married to Britain.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29She was not going to be trammelled by the wishes of a husband.
0:24:29 > 0:24:34She was going to be truer and true to herself and her country.
0:24:34 > 0:24:41This little ermine, which would normally be pure white, is spotted,
0:24:41 > 0:24:45as if it were an ermine pelt, and it's wearing a collar.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49The collar, you'll note, has no leash or chain to it,
0:24:49 > 0:24:53which symbolises the fact that the ermine is free.
0:24:53 > 0:25:00The Virgin is free to do as she pleases, which was exactly the situation that Queen Elizabeth I
0:25:00 > 0:25:04found for herself and during her reign.
0:25:04 > 0:25:10The magnificence of the painting is enhanced by the brilliant brushwork and costume.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14A typical stiff, Elizabethan lace ruff,
0:25:14 > 0:25:19a gorgeous thin gauze of a cloak,
0:25:19 > 0:25:25the most magnificent jewels and pearls that you could possibly imagine,
0:25:25 > 0:25:30all go to make this work of art into something extremely special.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33The big question today is, are we going to discover anything
0:25:33 > 0:25:37that's very special for our teams over at the auction?
0:25:50 > 0:25:56So, I'm heading up the M1 to Derby, to Bamfords auction house, with auctioneer, James Lewis.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59James, it's a treat.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01- It's great to have you. - Thank you very much.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04Now, our team, Sam and Ian. Their first item is this mini bagatelle.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Toys generally are not the easiest thing to sell.
0:26:07 > 0:26:12With a Chad Valley name on there, there's always a collector's market for them.
0:26:12 > 0:26:13So, what's this thing worth?
0:26:13 > 0:26:16I think it's worth about £20 to £30.
0:26:16 > 0:26:21£30 paid. Kate found it, she loved it. Now, the Victorian oak snuffbox.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23It's lovely. A lovely colour, isn't it?
0:26:23 > 0:26:31What do you make about this inscription - this Heveningham Hall lark?
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Heveningham is in Suffolk. A great big hall.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38There was an oak, 30 feet in diameter - a great big tree.
0:26:38 > 0:26:44It's where Elizabeth I was known to hang out and go hunting and have fun.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47- OK. How much?- £70 to 100. - OK. £80 paid.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49That is pretty well on the money.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53That's good. The Charles Horner hatpins.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55First World War period, I think.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- I like it. I should think it's going to make £20 to £30.- £20 paid.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Fine! Good.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04Depending on how the box goes, they may or may not need the bonus buy.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06So, let's go and have a look at it.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10So, chaps, you did incredibly well by spending £130. You gave £170 to Kate.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13What did she spend it on?
0:27:13 > 0:27:17A lot of money, but I bought you a picture.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19- That's nice.- That's nice.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Some may say it looks pretty dull and uninteresting.
0:27:22 > 0:27:27It is a pen and ink drawing. I've done something I don't normally do on Bargain Hunt, actually.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30I've bought against my better judgment.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34I was drawn into this little picture for various different reasons.
0:27:34 > 0:27:35It is a pen and ink drawing.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38It looks like a print, doesn't it? It is actually a drawing.
0:27:38 > 0:27:44It's signed at the bottom here and dated 1886. It's Victorian.
0:27:44 > 0:27:50The thing I liked about it is, not only the amazing architectural detail but the fact that it has
0:27:50 > 0:27:55another string to its bow, because it does have Masonic interest.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59- How much did you pay for this?- I was afraid you were going to ask that.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01That's the tricky bit.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04- I did pay £120.- Did you?
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Now, I have to say to you, boys, that is a bit of a gamble.
0:28:07 > 0:28:12Sam and I are speechless, aren't we, Sam? We are without speech.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14- It reminds me of the Dark Ages. - That's right.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18Absolutely. There we go. It takes all sorts, right.
0:28:18 > 0:28:26For the viewers at home, let's trot off and find out what James Lewis thinks about Kate's little picture.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Now, James, there's something to warm the cockles of your heart.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Tell me, how unsaleable has that got to be?
0:28:32 > 0:28:34It's an original pen and ink,
0:28:34 > 0:28:38but who on earth is going to want that?
0:28:38 > 0:28:41I suppose somebody who's a Mason, perhaps.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43Would he?
0:28:43 > 0:28:45- I don't know.- I don't know either.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48- Will it bring a £10 note? - It will make more than that.
0:28:48 > 0:28:49- It will make more than £10.- £30.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Make £30. Something like that.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55- I can tell you now, £120 was paid for it, right.- No!
0:28:55 > 0:28:59So, we have to cross our legs really twice, actually.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03Double-cross your legs that the teams don't go with this bonus buy.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05I'm going to glare at them and put them off.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07- No, you mustn't do that.- Oh, no!
0:29:07 > 0:29:10- You've got to play a straight back to this.- OK.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17Anita and James, their first item is this so called police rattle.
0:29:17 > 0:29:23Well, not the most saleable of things, I don't think.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Do you think it will bring £40?
0:29:25 > 0:29:26- No.- No. Oh!- Is that bad?
0:29:26 > 0:29:30- That's the big question. - Is that what they paid for it?
0:29:30 > 0:29:33They did pay £40. So...
0:29:33 > 0:29:36We'll try and get there but I think it might make around 30.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38Next is that cigarette barrel box.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40Oh, dear!
0:29:40 > 0:29:46- Do you not like that?- No, I think it's worse than this. I really do. That is a complete shocker.
0:29:46 > 0:29:51I would put that into a box of complete and utter tat, hide it under the table
0:29:51 > 0:29:54and pray we might get a fiver for the lot.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56- Really?- Really, that is awful.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59I don't like to ask how much you've estimated it at.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02- Actually, they only paid £14... - I'd love to be wrong, I really would!
0:30:02 > 0:30:07And knowing your enthusiasm, James Lewis, you'll probably make about £200.
0:30:07 > 0:30:08Now, there's the pressure.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12Well, you never know. And the last item, which I think is absolutely divine
0:30:12 > 0:30:18and very much you and Derbyshire, is this little magnifying box.
0:30:18 > 0:30:19It's great, I love this.
0:30:19 > 0:30:25Not only has it got these little scenes of Derbyshire, important places of Derbyshire in it,
0:30:25 > 0:30:28but it also is made from Derbyshire alabaster.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30Oh, what's that worth?
0:30:30 > 0:30:32£40 to £60, it may make a bit more.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34- Is that all?- Oh, dear...
0:30:34 > 0:30:36This will be a grave disappointment to David Harper,
0:30:36 > 0:30:39- because he paid £100 for this. - Did he?
0:30:39 > 0:30:42There we have it, there seem to me to be some dark holes here in the
0:30:42 > 0:30:50Blue team's concoction, so they're going to need their bonus buy and let's go and have a look at it.
0:30:50 > 0:30:56Now, Anita and James, you gave David Harper £146, for better or for worse...
0:30:56 > 0:30:57Worse, probably!
0:30:57 > 0:30:59Let's see what he spent it on.
0:30:59 > 0:31:04- OK. I bought myself, or for you, a cat.- Oh, my word...
0:31:04 > 0:31:07- Right...- Impressed or what?
0:31:07 > 0:31:09And did you spend all the money on this?
0:31:09 > 0:31:11- How much do you think I spent?- Er...
0:31:11 > 0:31:14How much would YOU spend on him?
0:31:14 > 0:31:20It's Bretby, have you heard of Bretby? Local Derbyshire factory, founded 1893. This one's about 1915.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24- OK.- I think he's quite rare, because normally...- He's heavy.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26Yeah, he is heavy. ..the ball is normally red.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29And normally, it's a full cat without the posy holder.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32How much do you reckon he paid?
0:31:32 > 0:31:34I don't know, 60?
0:31:34 > 0:31:36- 35.- Oh, well, that's not bad, is it?
0:31:36 > 0:31:39- No, that's not too bad. - Hold that thought.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41For the benefit of those at home,
0:31:41 > 0:31:46let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about David's little cat.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48James, a bit more Derbyshire for you.
0:31:48 > 0:31:53Yeah, Bretby, just about 10 or 15 miles down the road.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57This stuff, you either love it or hate it. It's not the finest stuff
0:31:57 > 0:32:02in the world, it really isn't, but for those people that love Bretby, it'll do OK.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05- There are plenty of them. - How much would it bring?
0:32:05 > 0:32:07She'll make about £30 to £40.
0:32:07 > 0:32:11Well, great. David paid £35 for his bonus buy, he's spot-on there in the middle.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15- Brilliant. Are you going to be taking the sale today?- I will be.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17You sound a bit croaky, are you all right?
0:32:17 > 0:32:19- Yes, just, just. - Go and have a quick gargle.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21I might just do that.
0:32:22 > 0:32:2435, 38.
0:32:31 > 0:32:338 and 10.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38Now, Sam and Ian, how are you feeling?
0:32:38 > 0:32:40- Very good, very good.- Ian?
0:32:40 > 0:32:42- Nervous.- What have you got to be nervous about?
0:32:42 > 0:32:45Well, profits and losses, Tim.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47- Is that what it is? - Profits, come on!
0:32:47 > 0:32:51- Well...- Are you regretting anything that you've bought?- Not at all.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53- Ian?- No. No.- This is exciting.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55Here comes the bagatelle.
0:32:55 > 0:33:00..this wonderful little Chad Valley bagatelle game in its original box.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02A bit of fun. Where shall we start this?
0:33:02 > 0:33:04Memories of childhood, at £20 bid.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06At 20 and 2, do I see?
0:33:06 > 0:33:11At £20, 22. £20, 22. 25. 28.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13Against you at 25. 28 now.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16At £25, any advance?
0:33:16 > 0:33:20At 28. 28... No, 28 with you. It's against the commission now.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22By the column at 28.
0:33:22 > 0:33:2430, anywhere else?
0:33:24 > 0:33:27Good little thing. Might make more in a toy sale, you never know.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31Going to have a gamble? At £28, 30 now. At 28, do I see 30?
0:33:31 > 0:33:34At 28 and selling... Yours, sir.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Bad luck, Kate, minus £2...
0:33:37 > 0:33:41- Well, now, the snuffbox. - Lot 551 is the snuffbox.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45Super snuffbox, really is a good thing.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48Silver-gilt lined, lovely colour to the oak,
0:33:48 > 0:33:51good patination and a good bit of history with it as well.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55And from a good village.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58And I can start the bidding, we've got three bids on it.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01The lowest one is 60, the underbidder is 85,
0:34:01 > 0:34:03so £90 starts it and 5, do I see?
0:34:03 > 0:34:05At £90 and 5 now.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07At 90. All on commission, at £90.
0:34:07 > 0:34:1095 in the room, are you finished?
0:34:10 > 0:34:13At 90. And selling at 90... £90.
0:34:13 > 0:34:17£90, that's very good, that's plus £10. You are overall plus 8.
0:34:17 > 0:34:21Lot 552 is the silver hatpin.
0:34:21 > 0:34:22Good little hatpin, this one.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24Military interest as well.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28It's probably by Charles Horner, one of the best silver hatpin makers.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30And I can start the bidding.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33I've got two bids on it, one is £14 and one is higher.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36So 16 starts, at 18 anywhere?
0:34:36 > 0:34:38At £16, 18, do I see?
0:34:38 > 0:34:4018 in the pink, 18 and 20 and 2.
0:34:40 > 0:34:4322, 25, 28. Oh, go on! One more.
0:34:43 > 0:34:4626, meet you halfway.
0:34:46 > 0:34:4926, well done. At 26, 28 here.
0:34:49 > 0:34:5228, 30.
0:34:52 > 0:34:5429, meet you halfway again.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56Go on!
0:34:56 > 0:35:01No? At £28, it's here. £30 bid. 32.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03Go on, have two bids.
0:35:03 > 0:35:1032. 35. 35. 38. 38. 40. 2.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13£40. 40 and 2, do I see?
0:35:13 > 0:35:16At £40, any advance? Are you coming back? Are you sure?
0:35:16 > 0:35:20At £40 standing, well done.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23- At 40, it's yours.- £40 for that.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26Plus £20 on that, you are £28 up.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29- How good is that?- Well done. - So what are you going to do?
0:35:29 > 0:35:32- Are you going to bank it or are you going to go on?- Bank it.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34You're going to bank it. All right.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36- You're going to bank it, yes?- Yes.
0:35:36 > 0:35:37- Bank it.- Certain?- For certain.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41We're not going with the bonus buy, but we're going to sell it anyway.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45Well, I can now reveal that the auctioneer's estimate on this thing is around £30.
0:35:45 > 0:35:51- Oh!- So I would say, on the face of it...- It's a bloodbath for you!
0:35:51 > 0:35:54I would say, on the face of it, you have made the right decision.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57But on the other hand, strange things happen at auction.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00So now, here it comes.
0:36:00 > 0:36:06..it's the pencil sketch, or pen and ink sketch.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09Beautifully done, great quality sketch.
0:36:09 > 0:36:10And I have one bid.
0:36:10 > 0:36:16And I'll start it at that one bid. At £18. 18 and 20, 20 and 2.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19At 22, 25.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23At 22, with me. 25, 28 and 30.
0:36:23 > 0:36:2530, by the door, and 5.
0:36:25 > 0:36:2840 and 5. 50.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32At £45, it's with me. And 50, shakes his head, one more go... Go again.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36Sure? At 45, with me. At 45 and 50, do I see?
0:36:36 > 0:36:38At £45, anywhere else?
0:36:38 > 0:36:40And selling. Are you sure?
0:36:40 > 0:36:43They've paid a lot more.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47One more? 50. 55. 60.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50You're almost there.
0:36:50 > 0:36:54- At £55...- That is a good auctioneer.
0:36:54 > 0:36:58- Yes.- At 55. All done... Sorry, guys.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00He's really trying for you.
0:37:00 > 0:37:06£55. Well, that would have been a loss of £65.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09But you didn't go with it, you were very wise to bank your money at £28.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13You're £28 up and the big thing now is, don't discuss it with the Blues.
0:37:13 > 0:37:14Certainly won't.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23Lovely. Now, Anita and James, do you know how the Reds got on?
0:37:23 > 0:37:26- No.- You haven't been following our agricultural cousins...
0:37:26 > 0:37:28- No.- ..as they came up the stairs?
0:37:28 > 0:37:31Did you see them, did they look enthusiastic or a bit sad?
0:37:31 > 0:37:33They looked pretty neutral, really.
0:37:33 > 0:37:37- They did.- Well, you never can tell with farmers, that's their skill, isn't it?
0:37:37 > 0:37:41It's always raining or there's not enough sunshine or something.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44First up though is James' rattle and here it comes.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46..the 19th-century wooden police rattle.
0:37:46 > 0:37:51There it is, it's either a police rattle or a pigeon scarer.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54Or a football fan rattle.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56It is basically whatever you want it to be.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58And there it is.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00Where shall we start it? £20, 20.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04£20 anywhere? 15, if you like.
0:38:04 > 0:38:09£15. Good piece of 19th-century tree in there for that. 15, 18, 20.
0:38:09 > 0:38:1220 and 2. Wrong way, nod.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15Go on... 22, well done. 25.
0:38:15 > 0:38:1825. 28. No, that's a definite shake.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21At 25, 28 anywhere?
0:38:21 > 0:38:23At £25 at the front. 28, do I see?
0:38:23 > 0:38:26Front row for £25. Do I see 28?
0:38:26 > 0:38:27One more?
0:38:27 > 0:38:31No, at 25. All sure?
0:38:31 > 0:38:34- £25, minus 15...- Oh, dear.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37Now, here we go with the fag case.
0:38:38 > 0:38:42This is the early-20th-century barrel-shaped cigarette box.
0:38:42 > 0:38:46There we are. And let's start this at £20 somewhere. 20.
0:38:46 > 0:38:4715, then.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50£15. 10. Who wants it at 10?
0:38:50 > 0:38:53£10 bid, standing at 10. 12, 15.
0:38:53 > 0:38:57At 12 seated, 15 now.
0:38:57 > 0:39:01At 12, 15? 14, then. Yes?
0:39:01 > 0:39:04- Good auctioneer.- He is good, isn't he?
0:39:04 > 0:39:08..how about 13? I'll take it. 12.50.
0:39:08 > 0:39:1113, 13.50.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13Not proud at £13, seated.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16At 13, anybody else? At £13...
0:39:16 > 0:39:20- Oh. £13, it's only minus £1. - That's not bad.
0:39:20 > 0:39:24And he did really well for you, didn't he? Now, the magnifying box.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26This is a really lovely little lot.
0:39:26 > 0:39:27Derbyshire alabaster.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30The top is loose, so careful.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33There it is. It's a little bit of Derbyshire alabaster,
0:39:33 > 0:39:37it's got a lens on the top and it has scenes of Derbyshire inside.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40And a really lovely 19th-century piece.
0:39:40 > 0:39:44And I've got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 bids on it...
0:39:44 > 0:39:46Please let them be big bids. The lowest bid's 28.
0:39:46 > 0:39:54Then I've got 40, 45, 48, 55 starts it. At £55 and 60 now.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56At £55 and 60.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58At 55, then. All the bids.
0:39:58 > 0:40:02Absentee bids. At 55, any advance?
0:40:02 > 0:40:06At £55. It's a good little thing. I think that's about right for it.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08At 55.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10- 55.- Oh, dear, three losses.
0:40:10 > 0:40:16- 45, 55, 60, minus £61.- Ow!- Ow.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18That's a bit of an ouch, isn't it?
0:40:18 > 0:40:20- Yeah.- But don't despair, you've got the bonus buy.
0:40:20 > 0:40:25- Are you going to go with it?- Yeah. - We've got nothing to lose, yeah.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28After all that, you're going to go for it?
0:40:28 > 0:40:32- We can't do any worse, can we, really?- You are a couple of gluttons for punishment.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35You're going to go with the bonus buy, yes? Here it comes.
0:40:35 > 0:40:40..a black-painted cat, there she is, playing with her ball of wool.
0:40:40 > 0:40:45And slightly more unusual, being the posy holder with the open back.
0:40:45 > 0:40:46But a nice lot.
0:40:46 > 0:40:50And again, we always have interest in the Bretby, and £32 is bid.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52At 32. 35 now.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55At £32. And 5, do I see?
0:40:55 > 0:40:57At 32. 35, anywhere?
0:40:57 > 0:41:00At £32. All done?
0:41:00 > 0:41:04Absentee bid at 32, it's against you in the room at £32...
0:41:04 > 0:41:08- 32, it is.- £2. You are, minus £3.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11- Oh, what a good start! - I know. Well, it's tough, isn't it?
0:41:11 > 0:41:15Overall then, you went with that, it is minus £64.
0:41:15 > 0:41:19But let's not put the Reds out of their agony, right?
0:41:19 > 0:41:20This could be a winning score.
0:41:20 > 0:41:24- Really?- All will be revealed in a moment.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32So nobody knows nothing about nothing, right? Is that right?
0:41:32 > 0:41:34As far as the scores are concerned.
0:41:34 > 0:41:38- Yes, you've not been talking? - No.- No.
0:41:38 > 0:41:43Well, it is a question today, I'm afraid, of some tea and sympathy being due.
0:41:43 > 0:41:47And the tea and sympathy, in large quantities, has to go with the Blues.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50- Oh!- Oh, dear.- I mean,
0:41:50 > 0:41:55it's not profits I'm going to be outlining here, and therefore...
0:41:55 > 0:41:56You've been a great team.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58I mean, mother and son.
0:41:58 > 0:42:04I mean, you've stuck together, you've played the game with your expert, you can walk tall.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06You haven't done terribly well, that's all!
0:42:06 > 0:42:09So moving on then to the victors...
0:42:09 > 0:42:11Yeah!
0:42:11 > 0:42:14..who are actually gonna go home with money,
0:42:14 > 0:42:16- which is a rare occurrence. - Thank you.
0:42:16 > 0:42:22£28. £28 you go home with. You made some good profits there.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24Horner's hatpin was brilliant.
0:42:24 > 0:42:28And the oak box did nicely, Kate, so well done for all that.
0:42:28 > 0:42:32You did not go with the bonus buy, which strategically was a good thing to do.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34- You've deserved your £28.- Yep.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36- And have you had a nice time? - Fantastic, thanks.
0:42:36 > 0:42:43- And I hope you're going to watch Bargain Hunt every day from the farmyard in the future.- Of course!
0:42:45 > 0:42:49- We had a great time. Join us soon for some more Bargain Hunting, yes? - Yes!
