0:00:02 > 0:00:04Today's antiques fair is at Derby University
0:00:04 > 0:00:07where our teams are going to get six of the best.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10No, not whacks. Antiques!
0:00:10 > 0:00:13BELL RINGS
0:00:13 > 0:00:14Ha! Saved by the bell.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16Thank goodness for that.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19Time for break and a spot of bargain hunting.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Today, we're in the world of academia.
0:00:55 > 0:01:00For one of our teams, there'll be a first class honours on parade.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03For the other, well, I couldn't possibly say.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Coming up - not two but four Bargain Hunt teams,
0:01:10 > 0:01:13trying to pass our £300 shopping test.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16I wonder if our first lot of Reds and Blues
0:01:16 > 0:01:18will still be good pals at the end of term.
0:01:18 > 0:01:23We've got two teams of friends. Sarah and Yvonne for the Reds
0:01:23 > 0:01:25and Christina and Rosemary for the Blues.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27- Hi, girls.- Hello. - How are we doing, that's lovely.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31- Sarah, how do you two know each other?- We work together.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32Where do you work?
0:01:32 > 0:01:34We work in retail.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Do you think you're going to be on a winning team today, Sarah?
0:01:37 > 0:01:41Definitely, because we work as a team at work. Going to be a winning team.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44- Do you watch the programme a bit? - Yeah, all the time.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Yvonne, is Sarah a tough boss?
0:01:47 > 0:01:51No, she's not. She's not really like my boss, she's more a colleague.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Do you like working in the shop?
0:01:54 > 0:01:57I do, because it's in the village where I was born and brought up
0:01:57 > 0:02:01so I know everybody that comes in the shop and they just...
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- They know you.- Yeah, they do.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07You're providing a social function in the shop, aren't you?
0:02:07 > 0:02:08I suppose so, yes!
0:02:08 > 0:02:10What fun anyway and very, very good luck.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Now, Christina and Rosemary, how long have you known each other?
0:02:13 > 0:02:1812 years. We met at the school gates with our firstborns.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21And... What do you do for a living?
0:02:21 > 0:02:24I'm a nurse and at the moment I'm taking a year out after having
0:02:24 > 0:02:27an operation and looking after my mum.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- And you've got children?- I have three children - 16, 14 and six.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- Do you reckon you're going to make a good team?- We're quite opposites.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- We are.- But we complement each other.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Rosemary, are you likely to agree with Christina?
0:02:40 > 0:02:44Our tastes are quite different so when we hit on something we both like,
0:02:44 > 0:02:47that's going to be a really good indication that it's a good thing.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51My job, I think, mainly is to rein in her excessive enthusiasm.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Good, we're pleased you're here on board to do that very thing.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57What do you as your job of work?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00I look after software - office support to end users of software.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04- Perhaps your skills will come in handy today.- Let's hope so, yes.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08Retentive memory so all those antiques programmes I've been watching,
0:03:08 > 0:03:12hopefully some of that will come back to me and I'll remember some details.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- Including Bargain Hunt, I hope. - Of course.- Of course.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18As a watcher of the programme you'll know that this is the money moment.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Here is the £300, there we go. £300 a head.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25You know the rules, your experts await and off you go. Very good luck.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Let's hope there isn't any misbehaviour today
0:03:28 > 0:03:32because our experts are going to have to mete out the discipline.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36The school rules are simple. Each team has £300 to spend in an hour.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40They have to find three items that will make them
0:03:40 > 0:03:42the most profit at auction.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46Teaching each team wrong from right will be the experts Kate Bliss
0:03:46 > 0:03:48and David Harper.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Now, pay attention at the back!
0:03:50 > 0:03:51Let's go, guys.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Well, you can spend as much or as little as you like.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02There is loads to look at here today.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Can we have a look at this vase? Is it an urn for ashes?
0:04:08 > 0:04:11No, it's a vase. Japanese or Chinese Cloisonne.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14- Japanese.- That is Cloisonne.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- It's metal. Feel the weight of it. - It is, very heavy.- Bronze.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23- That will be Meiji period, I would have thought.- Probably about '20s.
0:04:23 > 0:04:251900, 1920s.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- What have you got on that? - 65's the very best.- 65, OK.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32- Can we just think about that? - Of course you can.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36It's still early days and both teams are shying away
0:04:36 > 0:04:39from making a purchase just yet.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44- AA badges.- You see quite a lot of those, actually.- You do, yeah.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47I can't believe how difficult it is. I'm looking around
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- and it's really hard.- I know, and especially when under pressure.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- Do you like the box?- I do.- Can we have a look at the box, please?
0:04:58 > 0:05:03- Thank you very much.- It's like crystal.- It is, nice cut glass.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06This is probably part of a bigger toiletries set or a set which
0:05:06 > 0:05:08would have been on a lady's dressing table.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12You would have had perhaps a little pin tray for jewellery or earrings
0:05:12 > 0:05:15and a little box like this for hairpins or something like that.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18It's hallmarked here so you've got an English silver top
0:05:18 > 0:05:21and then a lovely cut glass base.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24- I quite like that.- Is that your sort of thing, Yvonne?
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- I think it's quite...- It's nice.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Someone could put it on a modern dressing table as well.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- It's quite nice. - Got another toiletry jar here.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Do you see how the sides are curved there?
0:05:35 > 0:05:38The nice thing about this one is not only is the silver
0:05:38 > 0:05:40in good condition but this is blank.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Very often these were engraved with monograms.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45If we bought the two, what do you think, girls?
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- What could you do on the two for us, Madam?- I could do 40.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52As an auctioneer, I would probably estimate these at between
0:05:52 > 0:05:56probably 30-40, with the chance that they'd make a little bit more.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- Being conservative, I think that's fair.- Would you not do 38 for us?
0:06:01 > 0:06:07Honestly, I can't. I've shaved as much as I can off at 40, honestly.
0:06:07 > 0:06:12- Sorry.- Do you think that's fair? I think it's worth a shout. Lovely.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15With the Reds being cool, calm and collected,
0:06:15 > 0:06:18the Blues are beginning to panic.
0:06:18 > 0:06:23- David, help!- We've got some potentials already, haven't we?
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Hang on. Something that looks like Clarice Cliff has caught their eye,
0:06:27 > 0:06:29but is it the real thing?
0:06:29 > 0:06:32That's Clarice Cliff and it might be a bit old.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35No, that absolutely is, but I tell you what,
0:06:35 > 0:06:37they're going to be too expensive for us.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39- No, they're not. - Go on then, have a look.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41- We'll see, let's see. Morning, afternoon.- Hi.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44What's your best price on those?
0:06:44 > 0:06:48What can you really... On the cream one, the best price would be 129
0:06:48 > 0:06:52but I wouldn't come lower than that, I'm afraid.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56- It's not signed?- No. You're more than welcome to have a look.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00It's got the pattern number, honey glaze, the Wilkinson factory.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02- It's all there bar one thing. - It hasn't got the signature?
0:07:02 > 0:07:05It hasn't got the signature and it doesn't have
0:07:05 > 0:07:08that typical Clarice Cliff vibrancy and modern look to it.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- What's the absolute death on it? - 129.- Absolutely, absolutely?
0:07:12 > 0:07:17- I can't go any less than that. - Would you be making a profit at 120?
0:07:17 > 0:07:21- At 120? A small one, yes. - Would you go for that?
0:07:21 > 0:07:28- If you smile nicely, yes. Of course I will.- On three - one, two, three.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29Beautiful.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Our teams better get a move on. We're nearly halfway through.
0:07:32 > 0:07:37Now, time for a quick lesson which I shall call the bonus buy.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Right, you 'orrible lot! Snodgrass, pay attention.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Here are the bonus buy rules.
0:07:46 > 0:07:51Two teams. They're each given £300 and they spend a + b + c.
0:07:53 > 0:07:59Left-over lolly given to expert. Piece of skirt - must be Kate Bliss.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04She joins the bald eagle, one with the beardo. That's David Harper.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07They take their money to the auction.
0:08:07 > 0:08:12= d. Oi! What are you doing? Chucking bits of paper around.
0:08:14 > 0:08:19The green line is the probability of profit for the bonus buy.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21If you lot understand that,
0:08:21 > 0:08:24then you'll all be allowed to go home early.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29No more nonsense. Right, on with the shopping.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33With 20 minutes to go, the Blues seem to have given up on the bling
0:08:33 > 0:08:37- and happened on something more interesting.- Do you know what it is?
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- No, is it a fruit bowl.- Yeah, or just simply a small charger.
0:08:40 > 0:08:45Something to decorate a wall. Any idea where you think it's from?
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- It looks very Oriental. - Ro, what do you think?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50I would have said Japanese.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54You two are very good. Jolly good. It is Japanese. It's Imari.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- You've heard of Imari?- Yes.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- Hand-painted and very decorative. - I think it's really nice.
0:08:59 > 0:09:04- Shall we say 25?- We can try. I'd be prepared to go for 20.
0:09:04 > 0:09:09- Risk it and take 20?- I'll risk it and take 25.- Yes, please.- 25, yeah.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- Great.- Thank you very much.- Lovely.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15You two make good decisions and quick decisions, I think.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19Good going, Blues, and now it's the Reds who are behind.
0:09:19 > 0:09:25- Has Kate gone a bit potty?- I'm the Mobo Toy-toise. I lead, you follow.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29They'll need to be quicker than a tortoise
0:09:29 > 0:09:33if they're going to finish their shop in an hour.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37What we've got here is a lovely bit of Derby porcelain, actually.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39I quite like that.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43This is all hand-painted and there's your Derby mark,
0:09:43 > 0:09:45always in an iron red colour
0:09:45 > 0:09:48and it's sort of a 19th Century piece, I would say.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Probably 1800-1820ish.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53We've got moulded flowers here
0:09:53 > 0:09:55and then a little bit of gilt just to set it off.
0:09:55 > 0:10:00At auction, could be anything from £20 to 40ish.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04The main thing is it is Derby.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07If it's going to sell anywhere, it's going to sell here.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11- What's your best on that?- 40. - Is that your rock bottom?
0:10:11 > 0:10:15- I'll do another 2 - 38. - Do you like it, girls?
0:10:15 > 0:10:19- I'd like that on my dresser. - I think it'd go in any room.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- I think at 38, we've got a chance. - Yeah.- Everybody's happy.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26- We'd better do the deal. Yes, please, Madam.- Well done, Reds.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Now, the Blues haven't moved at all.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30In fact, they're still looking at plates.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- Here we are.- Blimey. Gosh, that's quality, isn't it?
0:10:33 > 0:10:36When you're under the light, you can see all this really gleaming,
0:10:36 > 0:10:39reflecting what looks like gold.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44- It is gold, isn't it? Tell her, Tim. - Hello.- Talking of gold.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48- That's fun, isn't it? Why are you bonkers about plates?- We weren't.
0:10:48 > 0:10:53- We set out looking for silver.- Yes. - They're just bonkers, Tim.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- It's just the colours. - We're just going for the colours.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58It is glorious.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01The back is beautifully decorated.
0:11:01 > 0:11:06- Know that mark is the Fukagawa family mark.- Right.- Gosh.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08If it's Japanese, that would be well...
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Precise dates, I'm impressed by that.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15- I think Fukagawa is the moment I should leave on!- Yes.- Good luck.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17- Thank you. - That's the name of the factory.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21- Do you think we'll make a profit on this?- Yes, I do.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25- I really do.- It looks like it's in very good condition.- It does.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29I think you've got good eyes there, girls, because it is quality.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34- It screams quality.- It's 125.- Do you think it's a good price he's asking?
0:11:34 > 0:11:38- I do.- Will I see if I can knock it down a bit?- Yes, try a little bit.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Worth a try.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- Hello.- Hi there. Can I help you?
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Yes, we've had a good look at your plate.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51- Right, yes.- We'd like to make you an offer?- Am I going to be hypnotised?
0:11:51 > 0:11:56- You're making a good offer. - You just wait.- I've got 125 on it.
0:11:56 > 0:12:01- The very best is 100. - OK. Try looking into my eyes.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- I am, yes.- 95.- 95. OK.
0:12:04 > 0:12:09- 95.- We'll do 95.- Thank you very much, brilliant. Pleasure.
0:12:09 > 0:12:14That David's always being mistaken for Paul McKenna.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18Still, seems to do the trick. The Blues have got their three items.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Let's keep going, girls. Let's go round the corner.
0:12:21 > 0:12:26With only a few minutes left, the Reds need to make a quick decision.
0:12:26 > 0:12:27That's Derby.
0:12:27 > 0:12:34- How much is that?- I can do that for 75.- What do you think?
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- No, I don't like it.- You said you like relatively plain things.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Is that a bit elaborate for you?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42It's got a bit too much detail and too much going on on there.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45- Do you like that, Yvonne? - Yeah, I quite like that.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Do you know, I think that is in super condition.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50I think that's a stunning little dessert dish.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52How much do you think it's going to fetch at auction?
0:12:52 > 0:12:55I would say at auction, if the right Derby collector is there,
0:12:55 > 0:12:59that could fetch you anything between 50 and £80, I would say.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04I'd prefer not to pay 75. What can you do for us, Sir?
0:13:04 > 0:13:10- 70 quid, what did you want to pay? - £50.- I can't, honestly.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14- At least you've got 50 quid, ain't you?- Can't do 50 quid on it.- 55 then.
0:13:14 > 0:13:19- Give me 60 quid.- I think it's worth a go.- Yeah.- Thank you, Sir.
0:13:19 > 0:13:20We'll take it.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Tick, tick, tick, tock. The time is up.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29Let's remind ourselves what the teams bought.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33First lot were those two toiletry jars at £40.
0:13:33 > 0:13:39Then two lots of Derby - this floral decorated plate at £38
0:13:39 > 0:13:42and the dessert dish at £60.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48- That was a rush against time, wasn't it?- Definitely, yes.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51You spent £138, I'd like £162, please. Here we go.
0:13:53 > 0:13:58£162 of left-over lolly. For Kate, again, find that magical bonus buy.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02In my hot little hands. How difficult is that going to be?
0:14:02 > 0:14:04It's going to be quite tricky. The girls
0:14:04 > 0:14:07were fairly conservative in their purchases in that
0:14:07 > 0:14:10- they haven't blown a huge amount on one piece.- They work in a shop.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14- Absolutely.- You've got to be careful if you work in a shop.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18- I've got it in my hot little hand. - You're going to go and blow the lot.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22Brilliant. Let's remind ourselves of what the Blues bought.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Their hearts were set on this conical sugar shaker at £120
0:14:25 > 0:14:27but is it Clarice Cliff?
0:14:28 > 0:14:32The Blues gave up on the bling and like the reds went in for plates.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35The first one - the Japanese Imari at £25
0:14:35 > 0:14:38and the second, the Fukugawa at £95.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Now there's a name not to be messed with.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44You didn't buy what you thought you were going to buy, did you?
0:14:44 > 0:14:50- No.- Not at all.- You had good fun? - We did, very much so.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53You spent £240, which we're really pleased with,
0:14:53 > 0:14:57and we'd like £60 of left-over lolly which goes straight to David Harper.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- Thank you very much. - What are you going to do with that?
0:15:00 > 0:15:03I'm going to try and satisfy the bling desire.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- Bling that makes plenty of profit, please.- I'll try my best.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Excellent, David. Thank you very much.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Profit is what we're after so we're paying our first visit
0:15:16 > 0:15:20to Bamfords in Derbyshire to see if our purchases will pay their way.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24Auctioneer James Lewis has cast a critical eye over our items.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27- Welcome.- Thank you. Yvonne and Sarah's first up
0:15:27 > 0:15:30are two bits of cut glass with a solid silver mount.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34They're lovely, nice quality and the silver hasn't been over-polished.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36It hasn't got too many holes in it. I like those.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38- How much then for the two pieces? - £40-60.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42- OK, £40 paid so that's a good start, isn't it?- Fine, should be a profit.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- What about this Derby plate? - That's not great, really.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Derby in the early 19th Century
0:15:47 > 0:15:51concentrated on the thickness of their body so they didn't have
0:15:51 > 0:15:54a massive wastage in the kiln so they were making it like slabs
0:15:54 > 0:15:56of clay and that isn't the best Derby porcelain.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59£25-35, something like that.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03They paid £38 so they'll be lucky if they get a profit out of it.
0:16:03 > 0:16:08- Yes, they will.- The third piece is a bit of Derby but infinitely better.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12- Much better.- Same sort of period but a much better quality.
0:16:12 > 0:16:17- 1820-1825 or so. I think that'll do well.- How well?- £40-60?
0:16:17 > 0:16:19- They paid £60 for it. - They've got a chance.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22I would think quite a good chance.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Depending on how you get on, James, will determine whether
0:16:25 > 0:16:28they leave the bonus buy or not so let's go and have a look at it.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31- Sarah, what's happened to Yvonne? - Yvonne's husband
0:16:31 > 0:16:34has actually got a hospital appointment,
0:16:34 > 0:16:36he's not very well.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38- I'm here on my own.- Are you?
0:16:38 > 0:16:45- She's off to tend to her husband and is leaving all the fun to you.- Yes.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47OK, you gave Kate £162.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51What we want to see is what she spent it on and I would guess
0:16:51 > 0:16:53it's something rectangular and flat.
0:16:53 > 0:16:59- And big. Thank you.- That is nice, I do like that.- Do you like this?- Yes.
0:16:59 > 0:17:04There we go. This is a continental circular plaque.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06It's of a courtier, I would say.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Probably 19th century but his dress is earlier.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10How much did you spend on this item?
0:17:10 > 0:17:15Well, I spent £100 so I had a good go at spending all that you left me.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19- Do you think Yvonne would have liked it if she was here?- Yeah.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22There you have it. For the audience at home, let's find out
0:17:22 > 0:17:25what the auctioneer thinks about the plaque.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29What do you make of that?
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Well, it's decorative, isn't it?
0:17:32 > 0:17:34If it was handpainted, if it was Vienna
0:17:34 > 0:17:37or a wonderful 19th-century piece of top quality,
0:17:37 > 0:17:39you'd be looking at £5-10,000 for it.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- What are we looking at here then? - 50 quid.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48- That's marvellous, isn't it? Was it £50-100?- About that.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52£100 was paid by Kate Bliss for this in the fond hope
0:17:52 > 0:17:56that it's going to be translated into a bonus buy.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:17:58 > 0:18:03First up is the Wilkinson's castor which is trying to be special.
0:18:03 > 0:18:08- I just don't think it is. - Do you see that as a £120 pop?
0:18:08 > 0:18:12- That won't make 120, I don't think. - What do you think it will make then?
0:18:12 > 0:18:16- £40-60.- Oh Lordy. I think we'd better move on smartly.
0:18:16 > 0:18:21Into Japan now, we've got a seriously boring Imari plate here.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Unfortunately, it never sank on the way over.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- It might just sink in the auction. - It might do.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30- It wasn't expensive, it was £25. - Oh well.- It does just kind of sum up
0:18:30 > 0:18:33the sort of average low-grade stuff
0:18:33 > 0:18:37that you can't expect to turn into a big profit, really, can you?
0:18:37 > 0:18:42They might, if they're lucky, break even. £10-20 but they might get 25.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46OK, fine. Better quality and seriously much jollier
0:18:46 > 0:18:49is this Fuku fellow's plate here.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52It's absolutely super. Lovely quality,
0:18:52 > 0:18:55gilding's not worn so yes, it's got everything going for it.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57- How much?- £80-120.- Fine, £95 paid.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01- Oh, good.- That's all quite snug, isn't it?- Yes it is.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05Depending on how the conical castor gets on,
0:19:05 > 0:19:09the die will be cast for this team and they may well need
0:19:09 > 0:19:12their bonus buy so let's go and have a look at it.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Christina and Rosemary, this is the reveal moment.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17You spent £240, which is magnificent.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21You gave David Harper £60 to buy your bonus buy, what did he buy?
0:19:22 > 0:19:24It's a lipstick.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- You liar.- It isn't really.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- It's very light. - It's a sealing wax holder.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35Can you imagine writing a letter, you need to seal it with your stamp
0:19:35 > 0:19:37and your signet ring with your mark.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40You'd hold that over a candle, drip the wax onto the paper
0:19:40 > 0:19:44and stamp it and seal it. Lovely thing. Sit on your desk.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48- How much is it?- How much do you think? I had 60 quid left.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Is it real silver? Solid silver, I would say £50. I'd pay £50 for it.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53I would, I paid 60.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58- OK.- I spent every last penny on it. - What do you think, Rosemary?
0:19:58 > 0:20:00I think it's very light. I'm not impressed.
0:20:00 > 0:20:05- Well, it seems to me you've got a 50/50 split here, David.- Yes.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07It'll be interesting when we get to the auction.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09But, right now, for the audience at home,
0:20:09 > 0:20:14let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about... it.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15There you go, James.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Quite an unusual little object, that, isn't it?
0:20:18 > 0:20:22I've never seen one, so it's difficult to put an estimate on it
0:20:22 > 0:20:24without having seen one before.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28- Looks as if it's out of a travelling set of some form, doesn't it?- Hmm.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31The hallmark is there, and it's got a little V-shaped clip
0:20:31 > 0:20:34to push it in to hold the wax in place.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37- So, no, I think it's absolutely right.- How much for a collector?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39I think all of this type of thing
0:20:39 > 0:20:42tend to make around the same sort of estimate, around 30-£50.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46OK, £60 he's paid. David's quite hopeful about that for £60.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- It's interesting, but... - Yes, he might just get that.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- But it's not going to be a huge profit?- No, don't think so.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56- Are you taking the sale today?- I am. - Very good, we're in safe hands.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09Now, Sarah, Yvonne's sadly not here, you're all on your own.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12- How are you feeling? Are you nervy? - No, I'm feeling excited.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16- Are you?- Yes.- There's not many people who have to stand here alone
0:21:16 > 0:21:18and take this on board.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20- She's very good. - She is very good, yeah. Very good.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23First up, though, is the cut glass pots. Here they come.
0:21:23 > 0:21:28The silver-mounted circular jar and cover, 32 for the two.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30At £30, and two do I see?
0:21:30 > 0:21:3432 waving, 35, 38. 38 and 40, and two beats it.
0:21:34 > 0:21:39- 42 for you?- You're in profit. - Yes!- 42 in the doorway,
0:21:39 > 0:21:4442, 45 now. At £42, any advance at 42?
0:21:44 > 0:21:49A profit's a profit. £42, well done, Katie. It's plus £2. Superb.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Lot 601, the Derby porcelain dish, there it is,
0:21:53 > 0:21:55and I can start the bidding at £25.
0:21:55 > 0:21:5928, do I see? Absentee bid will take it at 25. 28, now.
0:21:59 > 0:22:0128, and 30, 30 and two.
0:22:01 > 0:22:0432, 35, 38?
0:22:04 > 0:22:07No? At 35 with me, 38 now?
0:22:07 > 0:22:08At £35.
0:22:08 > 0:22:13£35, bad luck, minus three, which means overall you're minus one.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17- That's not ridiculous. - Derby porcelain shell-shaped dish.
0:22:17 > 0:22:22It's a lovely piece of early 19th century porcelain, and £60 starts it.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23At 60, and five now.
0:22:23 > 0:22:28At £60 and five, do I see? Five, 70, five.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32It's against you again at £70. It's with me at 70.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36£70 is plus £10. That's OK.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Overall, then, you are plus £9, which is brilliant, isn't it?
0:22:39 > 0:22:41- Yes, definitely. - What are we going to do, then?
0:22:41 > 0:22:43What are we going to do about the plaque?
0:22:43 > 0:22:48I don't know. I think I'm going to leave it, I think I'm going to stick.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51So, no bonus buy, but we're going to sell it anyway, so stand by, Kate.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55And I can start the bidding at £55, and 60 now.
0:22:55 > 0:22:5760 anywhere?
0:22:57 > 0:23:00At 55, and 60? 60 and five, 70?
0:23:00 > 0:23:06At 65, 70 do I see? At 65, 70 anywhere? At £65...
0:23:06 > 0:23:10- £65, bad luck. That is minus £35. - You're a very wise girl.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13You certainly are! You and Yvonne are no fools.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16- Now, that could be a winning score. - Could be.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Plus £9 overall, well done.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21- Don't tell the Blues, yeah? - No, I won't tell them.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31So, Christina and Rosemary, have you been talking to the remaining Red?
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- No!- No? You've not been talking to Sarah?- No.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Good, because we don't want you to know her result.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39First lot up is the sugar caster.
0:23:39 > 0:23:4248 starts it, 50 now.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44At 48, and 50 do I see? 50, five.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46(Come on.)
0:23:46 > 0:23:48At £55.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52Go on, one more. 60 by the door. 65, and 70 takes it.
0:23:52 > 0:23:5570, yes? Free coffee in the coffee shop!
0:23:55 > 0:23:56Go on, write him a cheque.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58- AUCTIONEER:- No, at £65 it's with me.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01All done at 65, anybody else?
0:24:01 > 0:24:04- Oh!- Rosemary, that's minus £55, darling.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- Shhh... Quiet!- What?- Shh, quiet!
0:24:07 > 0:24:11- That's not good, Rosemary. - No, it's not good.- Sorry about that.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Now, Imari plate, here it comes.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16There we are, the little Japanese plate, one bid on it,
0:24:16 > 0:24:21so I'll start it £10, at the lower estimate, and 12 do I see?
0:24:21 > 0:24:2312 waving, 12, 15, 18 sir.
0:24:23 > 0:24:2618, 20, and two beats it. At £20 with me,
0:24:26 > 0:24:28and two do I see? At £20, the absentee bid.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31At £20, do I see 22?
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Christina, that's minus £5 for you, darling.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38- Minus 60 overall. - Here's the big one.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40The Japanese Fukagawa plate, or charger.
0:24:40 > 0:24:4395 starts it. 100 do I see?
0:24:43 > 0:24:46At 100 standing, sir, and five, 110 for you.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48- Yes, oh, yes! - 110 in the room, 120 now.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52At 110 standing, 120 do I see?
0:24:52 > 0:24:54At 110, any advance?
0:24:54 > 0:24:58110. All I can say is Fukagawa!
0:24:58 > 0:25:00THEY LAUGH
0:25:00 > 0:25:03That's a very good thing. It's a profit of £15.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05David, you are brilliant, that's great.
0:25:05 > 0:25:10- Overall, girls, I'm afraid you are minus £45.- OK.- Minus 45.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12What are you going to do about the wax holder?
0:25:12 > 0:25:15- Are you going to have a punt at that?- I think so.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18So we're going with the bonus buy, and here it comes.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21The Edwardian silver-handled wax holder.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24One bid of 30, one bid higher. 32 starts it.
0:25:24 > 0:25:2735 now. At 35, 38 with me, and 40.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29It's against you.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31At 38, do I see 40 anywhere?
0:25:31 > 0:25:35- Yes, yes, come on!- At £38. 40.- Yeah!
0:25:35 > 0:25:3842, 45. One more?
0:25:38 > 0:25:3945, 48 now.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41At 45 in the room.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43At 45, 48 do I see?
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Anybody else? At 45...
0:25:46 > 0:25:50£45, and you're minus 15. Bad luck, boy.
0:25:50 > 0:25:51You're minus 60.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53- Never mind. - Minus £60 overall.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57- I thought it was going to take off, David, I really did.- I did.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59He did well with it, didn't he?
0:25:59 > 0:26:04Right, so minus £60, girls, all right? Don't tell the Red anything.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07- No! OK, we won't.- The Red, the singular Red.- The singular Red.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Anyway, well done, you're great sports.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20So, the bosom pals in blue took second place,
0:26:20 > 0:26:24while the retail specialists in red took the top prize for bargain hunting.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Coming up, we have more fun and games
0:26:27 > 0:26:30as our second lot of teams take to the floor.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Before all that, I fancy a bit of a stroll.
0:26:45 > 0:26:51I'm just over 20 miles from London at Hatfield House in Hertfordshire,
0:26:51 > 0:26:55which has been passed down through 13 generations
0:26:55 > 0:26:58and is still owned and lived in by the family today.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02Old Henry VIII took it over in the 16th century
0:27:02 > 0:27:06when he suppressed the monasteries and confiscated land and riches from the church.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Hatfield was used mainly as a home for his children,
0:27:09 > 0:27:11and it was the childhood home of Elizabeth I.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15It ended up in the hands of Robert Cecil,
0:27:15 > 0:27:17son of the queen's trusted advisor,
0:27:17 > 0:27:22and it's been occupied since 2003 by Lord and Lady Salisbury.
0:27:23 > 0:27:28Over the years, the house has received many important guests,
0:27:28 > 0:27:33including no lesser personage than King James I,
0:27:33 > 0:27:37twice, in 1611 and 1616,
0:27:37 > 0:27:40and this room is named after him.
0:27:40 > 0:27:45Indeed, he is here in person, in a way,
0:27:45 > 0:27:47above the fireplace,
0:27:47 > 0:27:53because this fireplace was exquisitely crafted by Maximilian Colt
0:27:53 > 0:27:57at that period to commemorate the king's visits.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00It rather looks as if he's in bronze,
0:28:00 > 0:28:02stuck in that niche above the mantelpiece.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Actually, he's carved out of stone
0:28:05 > 0:28:09and has been coloured to simulate bronze.
0:28:09 > 0:28:14But just look at the craftsmanship that's been lavished on the marble itself,
0:28:14 > 0:28:16those different colours,
0:28:16 > 0:28:22the exquisitely carved details, those outset black columns
0:28:22 > 0:28:29with Corinthian capitals, and lovely cabochon-carved shields in the plinths.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33In short, they've treated the fireplace as an exquisite work of art,
0:28:33 > 0:28:37and we're just a couple of years shy
0:28:37 > 0:28:40from that fireplace's 400th birthday.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45How very strange, then, to come to the other side of the room
0:28:45 > 0:28:47and discover this piece of furniture,
0:28:47 > 0:28:50which is just shy of its second birthday,
0:28:50 > 0:28:54commissioned by the present Lord Salisbury in 2005,
0:28:54 > 0:28:57and crafted by cabinet maker Rupert Brown.
0:28:57 > 0:29:02This is a desk that's basically Georgian in form,
0:29:02 > 0:29:04with two kneeholes and a green leather top,
0:29:04 > 0:29:08the traditional kneehole writing table.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11But if you look at it in detail, just look at these corners.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13See those corners?
0:29:13 > 0:29:17They're not traditional Georgian corners, they're trees!
0:29:17 > 0:29:22Here, we've got an organic tree growing out of the plinth
0:29:22 > 0:29:24and forming the corner of the desk.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27Look down the sides and the front,
0:29:27 > 0:29:30and you've got a series of trees
0:29:30 > 0:29:34that are either carved out of the corners or inlaid in-between.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38Quite extraordinary, isn't it?
0:29:38 > 0:29:41Don't let anyone say that quality and craftsmanship
0:29:41 > 0:29:45aren't available in Great Britain in the 21st century.
0:29:47 > 0:29:52Will our second bunch of teams find similar craftsmanship to buy
0:29:52 > 0:29:55at Derby University with their £300 budget?
0:29:55 > 0:29:58They're ready and waiting, so let's meet them.
0:29:58 > 0:30:04For the Reds, we have workmates, friends, colleagues, Sam and Ian.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08And for the Blues, we've got mother and son. James and Anita.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11- Welcome to Bargain Hunt. - Thank you.- Hi.- Hello.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15- So, you two met through work. What do you do?- We're farmers, Tim.
0:30:15 > 0:30:19- And what sort of farm have you got? - It's mixed.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23- So how many head of cows are there knocking about?- 180.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27- And these girls need milking, how many times a day? - Twice, Tim.- Twice a day.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30And how long does it take you to milk 180 head of cattle?
0:30:30 > 0:30:33- About an hour and a half. - Is that all?
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Sam, how did you finish up by farming?
0:30:35 > 0:30:40I've always enjoyed farming, I've always done it when I was a young lad, my dad was a farmer,
0:30:40 > 0:30:45- his dad was a farmer, it's in the blood.- You couldn't do anything else. - No.- Is it good fun? Do you enjoy it?
0:30:45 > 0:30:48- Yeah, I enjoy it.- Yeah, I love farming.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51What makes you two think you're going to be any good on Bargain Hunt?
0:30:51 > 0:30:54Very good question!
0:30:54 > 0:31:00I think you're going to do very well on Bargain Hunt. Now, James, what do you do?
0:31:00 > 0:31:03I'm a student, I'm doing three-dimensional design.
0:31:03 > 0:31:04Oh, what does that mean?
0:31:04 > 0:31:09It's furniture, silversmithery and jewellery and ceramics. You design it and make it.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11And what about you, Anita, what do you do?
0:31:11 > 0:31:16I do freelance work from home and restore Victorian antique dolls,
0:31:16 > 0:31:20and do landscape watercolour paintings on commission.
0:31:20 > 0:31:27- So you're incredibly creative, as a pair.- Well, we try! We try to be.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30I think our farming friends should be quaking in their boots at that!
0:31:30 > 0:31:33Now the money moment. Here comes your £300.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36- 300 smackers, there you go.- Thank you very much, Tim.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38You know the rules, your experts await, off you go!
0:31:38 > 0:31:40They may well be animal lovers,
0:31:40 > 0:31:44but we can't let them loose without the help of a human helping hand.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51For the red team, Kate Bliss, who's in fine fettle.
0:31:51 > 0:31:56And for the Blues, cool cat David Harper, who always gets the cream!
0:32:07 > 0:32:12- Right, we have one hour exactly, shall we go for it?- Yes, absolutely. - Lead the way.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16There is loads to see here, guys. Top floor here and there's quite a bit downstairs.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20- I thought we'd have a look in the dark corners round here.- Okey-dokey. - Yeah, no probs.
0:32:29 > 0:32:33- That's unusual.- Unusual items. - Policeman's rattle. Early 1800s.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36Early 1800s? That's quite a rare beast.
0:32:36 > 0:32:37It certainly makes a racket!
0:32:37 > 0:32:42Do you know why it's a police rattle as opposed to a football fan's rattle?
0:32:42 > 0:32:46- No.- Any ideas?- Doesn't look any different.- Not much different.
0:32:46 > 0:32:51Apart from the finial. Police regulations, you know the police are very big on regulations.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55- Oh, yeah. Health and safety. - Health and safety! They weren't allowed to do that.
0:32:55 > 0:33:00- Probably because they might whack themselves.- Knock someone out. - Or themselves out, even worse!
0:33:00 > 0:33:05They had to hold it in one hand, grab the finial and do this.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08And that was to attract attention, before the use of whistles.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11- Have a feel of that, it's very tactile, isn't it?- It is, yeah.
0:33:11 > 0:33:17- You want a feel?- Give it a turn, Mum.- It's brilliant, isn't it?
0:33:17 > 0:33:20- Do you like it?- Yeah, I do. - I really like that.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23- I think we need to get a price. - Shall we get a price on it?
0:33:23 > 0:33:25I think we need to try and get it down.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29# I fought the law and the law won I fought the law and the...#
0:33:31 > 0:33:36After making a racket, they got the rattle down to £40. What a racket!
0:33:36 > 0:33:40So five minutes into their shop and the Blues have made their first purchase.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44Things aren't so hot, though, for the Reds!
0:33:44 > 0:33:48That's lovely. Out of our price range I'm afraid, guys.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51Furniture doesn't do too well, does it?
0:33:51 > 0:33:53Not satisfied with just one quirky buy,
0:33:53 > 0:33:56the Blues have spotted another mystery item.
0:33:56 > 0:34:00- Wooden barrel cigarette holder. - That's unusual.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02The downside is that people don't smoke much now, do they?
0:34:02 > 0:34:06It's funny, because smoking "things" are still collected.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08They were always very good news a number of years ago.
0:34:08 > 0:34:12- That's probably Edwardian. Maybe 1920s.- I quite like that, don't you?
0:34:12 > 0:34:17- It's an unusual design, isn't it? - It's not bad, made out of oak.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20You fill it up with your cigarettes, and if you go like that...
0:34:20 > 0:34:23the cigarette will pop out and stand on your holder.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27- That's good.- It's very cute and quirky.- Has it got a price on it?
0:34:27 > 0:34:34- It's priced up at £18.- £18. - It's no money, is it?- It isn't, no.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Especially if we can get it down.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39James, you fancy yourself as a bit of a king negotiator, don't you?
0:34:39 > 0:34:43- The pressure's on now, though. - Are we agreed that we want it?- Yeah.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45I think so, if we can get it for the right price.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48Let's say we're going to have it. It's £18.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52- You go away and do your best. - OK.- Go on.- Good luck!
0:34:52 > 0:34:55What's the absolute best you can do on this?
0:34:55 > 0:35:00- Let's have a look. - It's marked up at £18.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03It's got £18 on it, the very best would be £14.
0:35:03 > 0:35:07- Could you do it for £12?- I couldn't, I'm afraid. That is the very best.
0:35:07 > 0:35:12- Are you sure?- Yeah.- Right.- It's a nice piece.- It is.- It's a bit quirky.
0:35:12 > 0:35:17- OK, yeah, £14?- OK? - Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20How pleasant. This is turning out into rather a nice day for the Blues.
0:35:20 > 0:35:25I love a bit of furniture, furniture is my first love, in actual fact.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28It hasn't been doing very well,
0:35:28 > 0:35:31but it's just starting to do very well, furniture, now.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37The Reds, however, seem to be rather more particular.
0:35:37 > 0:35:42- You don't like it, either.- £35? - Don't worry, guys, we'll find something.
0:35:42 > 0:35:47It's a lovely silver ink well. It's £175 it's marked at, though.
0:35:47 > 0:35:51- Have you found anything? - No, nothing, we're panicking!
0:35:52 > 0:35:54Kate's got her work cut out!
0:35:54 > 0:35:58But the Blues have got completely sidetracked
0:35:58 > 0:36:01and are just having a good old jolly.
0:36:01 > 0:36:06- I would quite like that. How much is it?- £7.- Oh, I think I'll need to put that one by!
0:36:09 > 0:36:11My own collection!
0:36:11 > 0:36:15I think we should try and buy something a bit more expensive.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19- A bit more, yeah.- Life couldn't get any better for the Blues.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23But the Reds are already starting to feel the pressure.
0:36:23 > 0:36:28- We're fairly tight on time, we haven't got anything solid yet. - I know!- It's tricky, isn't it?
0:36:28 > 0:36:31Right, guys, where shall we go? Have a think.
0:36:31 > 0:36:36- It's really difficult, this.- Hello! - It's like a day in the park for you!
0:36:36 > 0:36:41- How are you getting on? All right? - Yes, we're enjoying it, it's super, yeah.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44Now you've bought two things very, very quickly.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48- And now you're just strolling around!- We are, yes.
0:36:48 > 0:36:53- Anyway, have a great time and good luck with the last item.- Thank you.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02They sure haven't scored the jackpot with the shopping yet,
0:37:02 > 0:37:07- so it looks like the Reds are finding other ways to score. - I bet you can't do it again.
0:37:07 > 0:37:11Made in England, so it's post 1940, obviously.
0:37:11 > 0:37:16It's a little bit of the remains of an old label on the back there, look.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20- I like that, I think we should go for that.- It's unique, I haven't seen one before.
0:37:20 > 0:37:25I haven't. I think, without the name on it, then it might get a bit lost and we'd be struggling.
0:37:25 > 0:37:30But with that Chad Valley name, I think that's going to really draw some collectors.
0:37:30 > 0:37:35- £35. It's not too bad.- No, no, no. - I'd prefer to see it at about £25.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38- We need to get that a bit lower. - Hang on, look at this.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40- It's got its box as well! - I'm happy with that.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44- Why don't I go and see what I can do, what do you think?- OK.- Yeah.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46All right, keep hunting, guys.
0:37:50 > 0:37:54Over half an hour in and the Reds have made their first purchase, hurrah!
0:37:54 > 0:37:57OK, guys, you know that game? £30 is the lowest.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01- I've tried everything but he's not going any lower. Happy?- Yeah.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03OK, brilliant, I'll catch you up.
0:38:06 > 0:38:10David has decided to help the Blues pass the time by educating them
0:38:10 > 0:38:14in the art. This is called an Nyaminyami stick.
0:38:14 > 0:38:19And I know where it's from, it's from Zimbabwe. It's from Lake Kariba, the Zambezi valley way.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22I know that because I used to live there,
0:38:22 > 0:38:25so I've had a number of Nyaminyami sticks in my time.
0:38:25 > 0:38:30This here is Nyaminyami, the goddess of Lake Kariba and the Zambezi river.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34And the Reds are getting an education of their own from Kate.
0:38:34 > 0:38:39- This box is made from the Elizabeth Oak at Heveningham.- Oh!
0:38:39 > 0:38:42Now, if this is silver gilt in here, guys,
0:38:42 > 0:38:46and I would think that there's a strong possibility it might be,
0:38:46 > 0:38:49you can see the white metal showing through there,
0:38:49 > 0:38:52I think that is a very collectable little box.
0:38:52 > 0:38:57The stall holder said he'd do it for £80 for us, I think that that is worth a gamble.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59And, what's more, if we can find out where Heveningham is,
0:38:59 > 0:39:05and do a little bit of research also about this Elizabethan oak tree before the auction,
0:39:05 > 0:39:10get them to put that in the catalogue, I think this might be worth a gamble.
0:39:10 > 0:39:11Could be on a winner, could it?
0:39:11 > 0:39:16It could be a couple of hundred pounds, if that's silver gilt. If we can find the provenance.
0:39:16 > 0:39:17Let's go for it.
0:39:21 > 0:39:25After getting carried away enjoying themselves, the Blues realise that they may have been
0:39:25 > 0:39:27a bit frivolous with their time!
0:39:27 > 0:39:33- We've got just over ten minutes. It goes like that, doesn't it? - It does, yeah.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36So with tight time, our teams need to pull their finger out.
0:39:36 > 0:39:40What do you think? We looked at hatpins earlier.
0:39:40 > 0:39:44Now this one is special, because it's got a little initial
0:39:44 > 0:39:48- there that you can just see. Can you see that?- Just, yeah.
0:39:48 > 0:39:55That CH stands for Charles Horner, who was based in Halifax, known for making thimbles and jewellery,
0:39:55 > 0:40:00but also really majored on designing and manufacturing hatpins.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03So this is silver, Art Nouveau if you like in date,
0:40:03 > 0:40:08but also a very military symbol of the Grenadier Guards.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11So that makes it quite commercial in itself.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14- I think it's quite a sweet little pin.- How much is it?
0:40:14 > 0:40:16- What is your very best, sir? - The very best I can do is £20.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18So what do you think about that?
0:40:18 > 0:40:21- I think we should go for it. - Yeah, you happy?- Happy.
0:40:21 > 0:40:25- OK, just pop it in here for you. - I think that's our three bits.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28Tell you what, I'm thirsty - what do you reckon?
0:40:28 > 0:40:31- Very thirsty.- Is it your round? Mind, we have a bit left over.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35- It might be.- Got a bit left over, haven't we?- Come on then!
0:40:35 > 0:40:38# I am a cider drinker! #
0:40:38 > 0:40:42So the Reds have managed to pip the Blues to the post.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44But there will be no cider drinking for the Blues yet,
0:40:44 > 0:40:48as they have left their final buy to the last minute.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50Have a look inside there.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52Some sort of building.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55- Yes, but what is that? - It's a magnifying glass.
0:40:55 > 0:41:00- It's magnifying, isn't it, yeah?- Hold it up to your eye.- What can you see?
0:41:00 > 0:41:04It says across the bottom Buxton Crescent, that's not far from us.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07- We know Buxton very well. - Do you recognise it?
0:41:07 > 0:41:10Still got the little carriages in, so it's old.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13I think this is very interesting. Let me have a look in there.
0:41:13 > 0:41:14You two are hogging it.
0:41:14 > 0:41:18Oh, look at the carriages, they're absolutely fantastic, and the horses.
0:41:18 > 0:41:22- It looks about 1840s, looking at the carriages.- Sounds about right.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24Do you know exactly what that was for?
0:41:24 > 0:41:26No.
0:41:26 > 0:41:30It was a tourist piece. Cheap ones would have been little wooden boxes.
0:41:30 > 0:41:35This is made out of alabaster, with a brass base to the lid there, for a little bit of attachment.
0:41:35 > 0:41:41- I love it.- I think we want to buy it as long as it is within budget. How much have we got left? Loads.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44- We've got quite a bit.- We haven't spent too much.
0:41:44 > 0:41:48I tell you what we don't have, we don't have much time. We've got minutes now.
0:41:48 > 0:41:49I think we'd really go for that.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Well, it's subject to price, isn't it?
0:41:51 > 0:41:54- Do you want me to go and have a word with the chappy?- Yes.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56OK, there he is over there.
0:41:58 > 0:41:59Cor! Talk about the last minute!
0:41:59 > 0:42:03But the Blues bag the magnifier for £100 with moments to spare.
0:42:05 > 0:42:10Our teams have hunted high and low to find those pieces they hope will make a profit later at auction.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Now it's up to the expert to take their leftover lolly
0:42:13 > 0:42:18and have that difficult task of finding items to boost their profits
0:42:18 > 0:42:22Those pieces will be revealed later at the auction.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25If they go with the item, then it will boost their profit.
0:42:25 > 0:42:30If they don't and it bombs, it could just blow them out of the water!
0:42:30 > 0:42:32Bang!
0:42:32 > 0:42:35Lordy! It took The Reds a while to make any decisions,
0:42:35 > 0:42:39but they were all game for the 1950s Chad Valley pinball game.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42They parted with £80 for the Victorian oak snuff box.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Not to be sniffed at!
0:42:45 > 0:42:50And it caught Ian's eye, the Charles Horner silver hatpin.
0:42:50 > 0:42:55- Well, that was a very slow start, wasn't it? Then you put a spurt on. - Finally got going.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57You spent £130, which is pretty modest.
0:42:57 > 0:43:01- And you're going to give me £170 of left over lolly for Kate.- Lovely.
0:43:01 > 0:43:05Kate, you come from an agricultural area, have you been bonding with your team?
0:43:05 > 0:43:08Do you know, us bumpkins, we get on really well together.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10- Do you keep any livestock yourself? - Just a husband!
0:43:10 > 0:43:14Now what are you going to spend all that money on?
0:43:14 > 0:43:18They bought some really nice things, but I'm going for something rustic.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20- For a country area? - Absolutely.- Good luck with that.
0:43:20 > 0:43:26Let's remind ourselves what the Reds are up against by reminding ourselves what the Blues bought.
0:43:28 > 0:43:33The Blues made a lot of noise with the 19th Century wooden rattle.
0:43:33 > 0:43:35They were quick off the mark with their second buy,
0:43:35 > 0:43:37the cigarette barrel case.
0:43:37 > 0:43:42And a third of their budget went on this unusual 1840s magnifying box
0:43:43 > 0:43:47So we don't really need to give you two guys an hour to go shopping?
0:43:47 > 0:43:52- They just need what, 20 minutes, something like that.- 15 will do.
0:43:52 > 0:43:54So cool, I mean, I can't tell you.
0:43:54 > 0:43:59- You spent £154. I'd like £146, there we go.- Thank you.
0:43:59 > 0:44:01- David, there's 146.- Good show.
0:44:01 > 0:44:05- How's your shopping been? - Very quick.- Yes? Nice, isn't it?
0:44:05 > 0:44:09- It's brilliant, why don't they make them all like that?- Yes, quite.
0:44:09 > 0:44:11We'll watch very carefully - good luck.
0:44:14 > 0:44:19The proof, as they say, will be in the pudding. So we're taking all our buys back up the M1.
0:44:19 > 0:44:23We're bound for Bamfords Auction House in Derby, with auctioneer, James Lewis.
0:44:26 > 0:44:30- James, it's a treat!- It's great to have you.- Thank you very much.
0:44:30 > 0:44:34Now, our team, Sam and Ian, their first item is the mini-bagatelle.
0:44:34 > 0:44:37Toys generally are not the easiest thing to sell,
0:44:37 > 0:44:40but with the Chad Valley name on there, there's always a collectors' market for them.
0:44:40 > 0:44:45- So what's this thing worth? - About £20 to £30.- OK, £30 paid.
0:44:45 > 0:44:49Kate found it, she loved it. Now the Victorian oak snuff box.
0:44:49 > 0:44:50It's lovely, a lovely colour.
0:44:50 > 0:44:55What do you make about this inscription, this Heveningham Hall?
0:44:55 > 0:45:01Heveningham was in Suffolk and it's where Elizabeth The First was known to hang out, go hunting and have fun.
0:45:01 > 0:45:04- OK, how much?- £70 to £100. - £80 paid.- Oh, fine.
0:45:04 > 0:45:09So that's pretty well on the money. The Charles Horner wee hatpins.
0:45:09 > 0:45:15First World War period I should think. I like it, I think it's going to make £20 or £30.
0:45:15 > 0:45:17- £20 paid.- Oh fine.
0:45:17 > 0:45:22So depending on how the box goes, they may or may not need the bonus buy, so let's have a look at it.
0:45:22 > 0:45:25So chaps, you did incredibly well by spending £130.
0:45:25 > 0:45:31- You gave £170 to Kate. What did she spend it on?- I bought you a picture.
0:45:31 > 0:45:33- Very nice.- That's nice.
0:45:33 > 0:45:39I've done something which I don't normally do on Bargain Hunt, I bought against my better judgment.
0:45:39 > 0:45:42But I was drawn into this picture for various reasons.
0:45:42 > 0:45:45- It is a pen and ink drawing, although it looks like a print.- It does.
0:45:45 > 0:45:50The thing I liked about it is not only the amazing architectural detail,
0:45:50 > 0:45:56but the fact it has another string to its bow as it were, because it does have Masonic interest.
0:45:56 > 0:46:00- How much did you pay for this? - I did pay £120.
0:46:00 > 0:46:03Now, I have to say to you boys, that is a bit of a gamble.
0:46:03 > 0:46:08Sam and I are speechless here, aren't we? Without speech.
0:46:08 > 0:46:11Reminds me of the Dark Ages.
0:46:11 > 0:46:15There we go, it takes all sorts. For the viewers at home, let's trot off
0:46:15 > 0:46:20and find out what James Lewis thinks about Kate's little picture.
0:46:20 > 0:46:25Now, James tell me, how unsaleable has that got to be?
0:46:26 > 0:46:30You know it's an original pen and ink, but who on earth is going to want that?
0:46:30 > 0:46:33- Will it make a £10 note? - Oh, it will make more than that.
0:46:33 > 0:46:36- More than £10.- £30.- It will make £30.- Something like that.
0:46:36 > 0:46:40- Well, I can tell you now that £120 was paid for it.- No!
0:46:40 > 0:46:45So we have to cross our fingers that the teams don't go with this bonus buy.
0:46:45 > 0:46:47I'll glare at them and put them off!
0:46:47 > 0:46:50- No, you mustn't do that. You've got to play a straight bat to this.- OK.
0:46:50 > 0:46:53That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:46:53 > 0:46:57Anita and James, their first item is this so-called police rattle.
0:46:57 > 0:47:00Not the most saleable things, I don't think.
0:47:00 > 0:47:03- Do you think it will bring £40?- No.
0:47:03 > 0:47:07- No.- That's the big question.- Is that what they paid?- They did pay £40.
0:47:07 > 0:47:10We'll try and get there, but it might make about £30.
0:47:10 > 0:47:15- Next is that cigarette barrel box. - Oh, dear. That is a complete shocker.
0:47:15 > 0:47:18- They only paid £14. - I'd love to be wrong, I really would.
0:47:18 > 0:47:23Knowing your enthusiasm, James Lewis, you'll probably make £200 with it.
0:47:23 > 0:47:25Oh now, there's the pressure!
0:47:25 > 0:47:31And the last item, which I think is divine and very much you and Derbyshire,
0:47:31 > 0:47:33is this little magnifying box.
0:47:33 > 0:47:34It's great, I love this.
0:47:34 > 0:47:39Not only has it got these little scenes of Derbyshire, important places in Derbyshire in it,
0:47:39 > 0:47:42but it also is made from Derbyshire alabaster.
0:47:42 > 0:47:46- £40 to £60, it may make a bit more.- Is that all?- Oh, dear!
0:47:46 > 0:47:51- This will be a grave disappointment to David Harper, because he paid £100 for this.- Did he?
0:47:51 > 0:47:55So they're going to need their bonus buy and let's go and have a look at it.
0:47:55 > 0:48:01Now Anita and James, you gave David Harper £146, for better or for worse
0:48:01 > 0:48:05- OK, I bought myself - or for you - a cat.- Oh, my word.- Impressed or what?
0:48:05 > 0:48:14It's Bretby. Have you heard of Bretby? Local Derbyshire factory, founded 1893, this one's about 1915.
0:48:14 > 0:48:19I think it's quite rare, because normally it's a full cat, without the posy holder.
0:48:19 > 0:48:21How much do you reckon he paid?
0:48:22 > 0:48:27- I don't know, 60?- 35.- Oh well that's not bad, is it?- That's not bad.
0:48:27 > 0:48:30Hold that thought, but for the benefit of the viewers at home,
0:48:30 > 0:48:36let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about David's little cat.
0:48:36 > 0:48:40So, James, a bit more Derbyshire for you.
0:48:40 > 0:48:43Yes, Bretby. You either love it or hate it, don't you?
0:48:43 > 0:48:45It's not the finest stuff in the world. But for people that love
0:48:45 > 0:48:49Bretby it will do OK, and there are plenty here.
0:48:49 > 0:48:52- How much will it bring? - She'll make about £30 to £40.
0:48:52 > 0:48:58Well, great, David paid £35 for his bonus buy. He's spot on there in the middle.
0:48:58 > 0:49:04- Brilliant. Are you taking this sale? - Yes.- You sound a bit croaky, are you all right?- Yeah, just.
0:49:04 > 0:49:06- Go and have a quick gargle. - I might just do.
0:49:07 > 0:49:0835, 38.
0:49:15 > 0:49:18- Now, Sam and Ian, how are you feeling?- Fine. Very good.
0:49:18 > 0:49:22- What about you?- Nervous.- What have you got to be nervous about?
0:49:22 > 0:49:26- Well, profits and losses, Tim.- Is that what it is?- More profits!- Well!
0:49:26 > 0:49:29This is exciting. Here it comes, here comes the bagatelle.
0:49:29 > 0:49:34Wonderful little Chad Valley bagatelle game in its original box.
0:49:34 > 0:49:37Where shall we start this? Memories of childhood at £20 bid.
0:49:37 > 0:49:41At 20 and 2 do I see? At £20. 22. 25. 28.
0:49:42 > 0:49:44Against you at 25. Any advance?
0:49:44 > 0:49:49At 28. 28. No. 28 with you. It's against the commission now.
0:49:49 > 0:49:52By the column at 28. Might make more in a toy sale you never know.
0:49:52 > 0:49:56You can have a gamble at £28. At 28 and selling. Yours sir.
0:49:56 > 0:49:58£28, that Kate, minus £2.
0:50:00 > 0:50:01Well... now the snuff box.
0:50:01 > 0:50:08The snuff box, lovely colour to the oak. I can start the bidding, we've got three bids on it.
0:50:08 > 0:50:13The lowest one is 60, the other bid is 85, so £90 starts it and 5 do I see?
0:50:13 > 0:50:16At £90 and 5 now. At 90, all on commission.
0:50:18 > 0:50:19At 90 and selling at 90. £90.
0:50:19 > 0:50:25£90, that's very good, plus £10. You are overall plus 8. Good.
0:50:25 > 0:50:29Next is the silver hatpin. Military interest as well.
0:50:29 > 0:50:32Probably by Charles Horner, one of the best silver hatpin makers.
0:50:32 > 0:50:36I've got two bids on it, one is £14 and one is higher.
0:50:36 > 0:50:40So 16 starts it. 18 anywhere? 18 in the pink, 18 and 20 and 2.
0:50:40 > 0:50:4322. 25. 28. Oh, go on, one more.
0:50:44 > 0:50:4826, meet you halfway. 26 well done.
0:50:48 > 0:50:5128 here. 28. 30?
0:50:51 > 0:50:5529, meet you halfway again. No? At £28 it's here.
0:50:55 > 0:50:58- £30 bid. 32.- Ah, new bidder!
0:50:58 > 0:51:03Go on, have two bids. 32. 35. 38. 40. 2.
0:51:03 > 0:51:07At £40. Any advance? Are you coming back?
0:51:09 > 0:51:12Sure? At £40 standing, well done.
0:51:12 > 0:51:13At 40 it's yours.
0:51:13 > 0:51:18- Yeah!- £40, that's plus £20 on that, you are £28 up.
0:51:18 > 0:51:21- Well done. - So what are you going to do?
0:51:21 > 0:51:24Are you going to bank it, or are you going to go on?
0:51:24 > 0:51:27- Bank it.- You're going to bank it. You're going to bank it.- Yes.
0:51:27 > 0:51:32- You're banking it. You're certain? - For certain.- Here it comes.
0:51:32 > 0:51:34Masonic interest, it's the Edwin Salcock ink sketch.
0:51:34 > 0:51:40I have one bid and I will start it at that one bid at the £18.
0:51:40 > 0:51:4218 and 20. 20 and 2.
0:51:42 > 0:51:47At 22. 25. 28 and 30. 30 by the door and 5.
0:51:47 > 0:51:5440 and 5. 50. At £45, it's with me. At 45 with me.
0:51:54 > 0:51:58At 45 and 50 do I see? 50. 55. 60.
0:51:58 > 0:52:02- At 55 with me.- That is a good auctioneer.- Yes.
0:52:02 > 0:52:03At £55 all done.
0:52:03 > 0:52:05Sorry, guys, 55.
0:52:05 > 0:52:09Really trying for you. £55.
0:52:09 > 0:52:14Well, that would have been a loss of £65, but you didn't go with it.
0:52:14 > 0:52:17You were very wise to bank your money at £28.
0:52:17 > 0:52:21So you're £28 up and the big thing now is don't discuss it with the Blues.
0:52:21 > 0:52:22We certainly won't.
0:52:26 > 0:52:30- Now, Anita, James, do you know how the Reds got on?- No.
0:52:30 > 0:52:33- You haven't been following our agricultural cousins?- No.
0:52:33 > 0:52:38As they came up the stairs. Did you see them? Did they look enthusiastic or a bit sad?
0:52:38 > 0:52:41- They looked pretty neutral really.- Did they?- Yes they did.
0:52:41 > 0:52:43First up is James' rattle and here i comes.
0:52:43 > 0:52:47The 19th century wooden police rattle. Where shall we start it?
0:52:47 > 0:52:5115 if you like. 15. 18. 20. 20 and 2.
0:52:51 > 0:52:53Go on! 22 well done! 25.
0:52:53 > 0:52:5525. 28.
0:52:56 > 0:52:59No, that's a definite shake. At 25. 28 anywhere?
0:52:59 > 0:53:01At £25 at the front.
0:53:01 > 0:53:0328 do I see? All sure?
0:53:03 > 0:53:06- 25, that is minus 15.- Oh, dear.
0:53:06 > 0:53:09Now, here we go with the fag case, Anita.
0:53:09 > 0:53:14The early 20th century barrel-shaped cigarette box. Who wants it at 10?
0:53:14 > 0:53:19£10 bid, standing at 10. 12. 15. at 12 seated, 15 now.
0:53:19 > 0:53:21At 12. 15? 14 then?
0:53:21 > 0:53:23- Go on.- Yes?
0:53:23 > 0:53:26- Good auctioneer. - He is good, isn't he?
0:53:26 > 0:53:27How about 13?
0:53:29 > 0:53:32I'll take it. 12.50. 13. 50.
0:53:32 > 0:53:35I'm not proud! At £13 seated.
0:53:35 > 0:53:37At 13, anybody else?
0:53:39 > 0:53:44That's brilliant. It's only minus £1 and he did really well for you.
0:53:44 > 0:53:46Now the magnifying box.
0:53:46 > 0:53:47A really lovely little lot.
0:53:47 > 0:53:50Derbyshire alabaster, it has scenes of Derbyshire inside.
0:53:50 > 0:53:54I have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven bids on it.
0:53:54 > 0:53:56Please, let there be big bids.
0:53:56 > 0:54:00The lowest bid's 28. And I've got 40, 45, 48.
0:54:00 > 0:54:0655 starts it. At £55 and 60 now. At 55 then.
0:54:06 > 0:54:10All the bids, absentee bids, at £55. I think that's about right for it.
0:54:10 > 0:54:13At 55. 55 does it.
0:54:13 > 0:54:19- Oh, dear, three losses, 45, 55, 60, minus £61.- Ow!
0:54:19 > 0:54:21Ow! That's a bit of an "ouch", isn't it?
0:54:21 > 0:54:24But don't despair, you've got the bonus buy.
0:54:24 > 0:54:27What are you going to do with the bonus buy? Are you going to go with it?
0:54:27 > 0:54:30- Are you really?- Yeah. - After all that?
0:54:30 > 0:54:35Black painted cat playing with her ball of wool
0:54:35 > 0:54:38and slightly more unusual, being the posy holder with the open back.
0:54:38 > 0:54:46But a nice lot and £32 is bid. At 32. 35 now. At £32 and 5 do I see?
0:54:46 > 0:54:4935 anywhere? At £32.
0:54:49 > 0:54:54All done. Absentee bid at 32 is against you in the room at £32.
0:54:55 > 0:55:00- What a good start.- Minus £3, I know. Well, it's tough, isn't it?
0:55:00 > 0:55:05Overall when you went with that, it is minus £64.
0:55:05 > 0:55:08But let's not put the Reds out of their agony, right?
0:55:08 > 0:55:11- This could be a winning score. - Oh, really?
0:55:11 > 0:55:13All will be revealed in a moment.
0:55:19 > 0:55:22- So nobody knows nothing about nothing, right?- Yes.
0:55:22 > 0:55:28- At least as far as the scores are concerned. Yes, you've not been talking?- No.
0:55:28 > 0:55:33Well, it's a question today of some tea and sympathy being due,
0:55:33 > 0:55:36and the tea and sympathy in large quantities
0:55:36 > 0:55:38- has to go with the Blues.- Oh, dear.
0:55:39 > 0:55:46It is not a happy line-up of profits I'm going to be outlining here, and therefore you've been a great team.
0:55:46 > 0:55:50I mean, mother and son, I mean, you stuck together.
0:55:50 > 0:55:53You played the game with your expert. You can walk tall.
0:55:53 > 0:55:56You just haven't done terribly well!
0:55:56 > 0:56:01- So moving on then to the victors! - Yeah!
0:56:01 > 0:56:06Who are actually going to go home with money - which is a rare enough occurrence.
0:56:06 > 0:56:10- £28, boys, is coming at you.- Yeah. - £28 you go home with.
0:56:10 > 0:56:15You made some good profits there, Horner's hatpin was absolutely brilliant
0:56:15 > 0:56:18and the oak box did nicely, Kate. Well done for all that.
0:56:18 > 0:56:21You did not go with the bonus buy, which strategically was good.
0:56:21 > 0:56:24You preserved your £28 and have you had a nice time?
0:56:24 > 0:56:27- Fantastic.- We've had a brilliant time.
0:56:27 > 0:56:32And I hope you're going to watch Bargain Hunt every day from the farmyard in the future.
0:56:32 > 0:56:35- Of course.- We certainly are, too.
0:56:35 > 0:56:39- We've had a great time. Join us soon for more bargain hunting, yes?- Yes!
