0:00:02 > 0:00:04Our teams today are two pairs of mothers and daughters
0:00:04 > 0:00:07so stand by for all those feminine wiles as they go out there
0:00:07 > 0:00:10to try and make the maximum profits.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Baby here may not be real,
0:00:12 > 0:00:14but our teams sure are!
0:00:14 > 0:00:16ALL: Aw!
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Wah-wah-wah!
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:00:45 > 0:00:51We've come to North Lanarkshire, Bargain Hunters, in Scotland.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Glasgow is about 18 miles that way, roughly,
0:00:55 > 0:01:01but we're going to take in the peace, the quiet, the tranquillity of the Clyde Valley. Och, aye!
0:01:02 > 0:01:06We're at the Garrion Bridges Antiques and Arts Centre.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08You get two for the price of one today,
0:01:08 > 0:01:12because we're having double helpings of fun,
0:01:12 > 0:01:14with not two but four teams of Bargain Hunters.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18They'll all get their £300 and an hour to shop for three items
0:01:18 > 0:01:20which they'll sell later at auction.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24The biggest profit or smallest loss wins the game.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Time to meet our first lot of teams.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29For the Reds we've got Marlene and Lauren.
0:01:29 > 0:01:34- Hi, guys.- Hello.- For the Blues we've got Jane and Margaret. Welcome.
0:01:34 > 0:01:35Thank you.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- How are you two going to get on? - I think we'll do very well.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41We're very similar natures, Lauren and I.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- We love spending money!- What about when you're not spending money?
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- I'm a teacher and I have been for 34 years.- Have you?- Yes.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52- Lauren, what do you get up to? - I'm a jewellery designer.
0:01:52 > 0:01:57I graduated from the Glasgow School of Art four years ago and I work in the industry.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- Is that earring one of yours? - It is, indeed, yes!
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Well, that's very good.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05What are you going to be looking out for today?
0:02:05 > 0:02:09- Anything kind of decorative and eye-catching.- Good luck with that.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Now for our next mother and daughter and...
0:02:12 > 0:02:15should I say grandchild?
0:02:15 > 0:02:19Margaret, what's going on with your baby there?
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- It's not a real baby, Tim.- It isn't?- I hate to admit it,
0:02:22 > 0:02:24but she's a baby doll that I purchased
0:02:24 > 0:02:30and I was so impressed by her that I've decided to make them myself.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32How many are you proposing to make?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- I think about one a year is enough, Tim, don't you?- I do!
0:02:35 > 0:02:38A jolly little fellow, I must say!
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- Jane, you're a retired care home worker.- Yes.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45- What do you get up to in your spare time?- Well, walking dogs,
0:02:45 > 0:02:48reading about crime, real crime.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50What's this with you and crime?
0:02:50 > 0:02:55I love real crime. I love reading about it, watching it on TV.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57- Yeah?- Oh, yes.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59£300 apiece. Here's your £300. 300.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03You know the rules. Your experts await. Off you go!
0:03:03 > 0:03:04Very, very good luck.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08So, how are our mother and daughter combos going to do?
0:03:08 > 0:03:12Either way, they've got some very willing experts there to help them.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15# Baby face
0:03:15 > 0:03:19# You've got the cutest little baby face. #
0:03:19 > 0:03:24Paul Laidlaw is planning on showing the Reds that's he's no mummy's boy!
0:03:24 > 0:03:29While Keith Baker is going to give some motherly advice to the Blues.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Follow your instinct. You've got an hour.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Better get to it, hadn't we?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- Anything in there?- There's a compact here.- Good.- Good?
0:03:38 > 0:03:40- Could we have a wee look? - Yes.- I like it.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43The condition of these deteriorates in damp
0:03:43 > 0:03:49because they're frequently gilt brass lacquered over base metal.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- When it goes, it goes. Isn't it sweet?- Perfect. Great.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- I'd like one of those on my dressing table.- It's lovely.
0:03:55 > 0:03:56How much is it?
0:03:56 > 0:03:58- Guess. What do you think?- About 100?
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- 49-and-a-half pounds! - Let's go for it, eh?
0:04:01 > 0:04:03That seems a lot of money to me.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- I think that's worth 20 to £40 at auction.- Really?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08You're a haggler, Lauren. You go for it!
0:04:08 > 0:04:11While Lauren's left to haggle for the compact,
0:04:11 > 0:04:16the Blues are discovering they have completely differing tastes.
0:04:16 > 0:04:22- Oh, Mother, don't even look! - Oh, that's nice.- The cranberry glass. I knew you'd like it.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Ooh, there's some wally dogs.
0:04:25 > 0:04:30- They're too...- Sorry, Mother. I think they're lovely.- Very appealing.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Will this lot ever agree on anything?
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Oh, I like that, Margaret.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38£48, which I think is probably enough.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40You'd better handle it.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45Something I have noticed is that there's this gilding here.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- It's very rubbed.- Ah, it is.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50- So it's not quite as pristine.- No.
0:04:50 > 0:04:55The actual piece is... The piece doesn't have any cracks or anything.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58But to a collector, that will bother them a little bit, actually.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01It's mid- to late-Victorian, I would have thought.
0:05:01 > 0:05:06- What do you think, then?- I think it's very feminine. I would buy it.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- Is that because it's pink? - It's because it's pink!
0:05:09 > 0:05:11- But it's very cheerful. Optimistic. - It is.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15It would brighten up a window, wouldn't it?
0:05:15 > 0:05:19- Lovely decoration. Very feminine. - The thing is, it is missing,
0:05:19 > 0:05:21but you didn't notice it immediately.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Hopefully the colour and enamel will win the day.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- Let's see what we can do. - Right.- Lovely.
0:05:26 > 0:05:31Could that be mother's ruin? At £35 paid, who knows?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Let's see how those Reds are getting on.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38I went and asked about the compact and they won't go lower than 38.
0:05:38 > 0:05:44Well, it's up to you. I think you need to fall back on that.
0:05:44 > 0:05:49- Right.- If there's nothing better, and you go, "What the hell. Take a punt." Then take a punt.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51OK, we'll leave it till later.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52Where now, then, girls?
0:05:53 > 0:05:57The Reds still haven't got their first item
0:05:57 > 0:06:00but there's always something else to look at.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03I've seen two small silver pin dishes.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07Edwardian. High Rococo.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11Couldn't be more traditional. And in a presentation case.
0:06:11 > 0:06:16Why don't you take one each and tell me how substantial they feel.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Oh. Quite light.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Well, they do it for me.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Let me pop this case down, handsome though it is.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Let's see if we can pin these down.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36They're assayed at Sheffield in...1904.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Edwardian silver.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41That helps, doesn't it? It just rings right.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44And a good name - Walker & Hall.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Now, what's the price? £78.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- My estimate 50 to 80.- Right.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51In this instance I'd be happy to go away and do a job of work
0:06:51 > 0:06:55and try and get these down to... What do you want to pay for them?
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- About 45, 50?- I'll give it a go.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00I'll have a chat. I won't commit. I'll come back and tell you.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04I wonder if Paul can do any better than Lauren?
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- Not generous. £65.- Right. OK.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- You're not going to win a lot, you're not going to lose a lot.- OK.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15It's all just a little bit too expensive for the Reds.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Let's see how the Blues are getting on.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21People do collect samplers. It might be worth having a look at that.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Ah, the sampler. Thanks for getting that out.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- What do you think of this one, then? - Ooh.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31It says, "Annie Love,
0:07:31 > 0:07:35"Age 13. January 4th 1860."
0:07:35 > 0:07:40- Is that damage?- It's inevitable the little threads are coming off.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41But it's in fairly good order.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43What I'm pleased to see
0:07:43 > 0:07:48is that the Blues are more prominent than the Reds so I hope that's a good sign!
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Let's have a look at the price.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- 94.- 94.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56I think it might be worth a chance.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57- Well.- Actually.
0:07:57 > 0:08:02- Yes, I'm happy with that.- Yes. - Absolutely.- See if we can get the best price for it.- Right.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Very persuasive, Keith.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08But don't count your chickens until you know the price.
0:08:11 > 0:08:16The Reds haven't committed to anything yet, so they're searching out other options.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21Well, I've got to say they are hugely stylish,
0:08:21 > 0:08:27but I am way out of my comfort zone with these! What period are these?
0:08:27 > 0:08:28As far as I know,
0:08:28 > 0:08:33- she's 1950s, 1960s.- OK. - Some are more difficult to acquire.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36I've never seen the lady with the hairstyle and the suit before.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40- You've bought these in the past? - I have done, yes.- And paid? - £50 for one.
0:08:40 > 0:08:45If £50 is the going rate retail, 40 is going to be enough
0:08:45 > 0:08:46to stand a chance.
0:08:46 > 0:08:53- This are coming in at the moment at £134 and you want to pay 80 for them.- 80.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- That's a lot.- A huge drop.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59You don't know how long they've been in there.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Haggling again. Well, it's worth a try.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06The Blues are still finding it difficult, though, to agree on anything.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- The wee girl with the lamb. - No!- It's pretty.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- No.- Do you not like that? - I like the red dish better.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Hi, I've checked about the sampler.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- They've agreed £80, which I think is fine.- Right.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20So we've got two items in the bag. Let's go and find that third one.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Right.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26I'm not so sure they actually said yes to that, Keith!
0:09:29 > 0:09:34I'm sure these ladies know all there is to know about shopping and impulse buying
0:09:34 > 0:09:38and they've only got one hour to find their three items.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40So the pressure's really on.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43But help could be at hand in the form of the bonus buy.
0:09:43 > 0:09:48Any leftover lolly will be used by each team's expert
0:09:48 > 0:09:53to buy a surprise item which the team can decide to go with at auction or not.
0:09:53 > 0:09:58Any profit or loss that item makes will then be added to their total.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- Do you like this?- Yes, I do. - A good make, Coalport.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05- I think that's so pretty.- It's only what they call transfer-printed,
0:10:05 > 0:10:07so that's not painted. But very exotic.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11- I mean, it's blue, which is appropriate.- I would buy it.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13- You would?- You did say blue.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17- Well, I'm going with the winning colour here.- Yeah.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21£90, so, I mean, they'd probably be asking about 80 for it.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23We'll try and get them down further than that.
0:10:23 > 0:10:28- OK. So, you would like to go with this?- Yes, I personally would go with that.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30That's your choice. Let's give it a try.
0:10:30 > 0:10:35Margaret finally gets her own way, and they pay £70 for the bowl.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39- We've got the third item, so we're done.- Wonderful, wonderful.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42It's not going so well for the Reds.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49They can't get hold of the dealer to agree a price for the brooches,
0:10:49 > 0:10:55and so, with seven minutes left, the pressure is on to find a third item.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57- Panic, panic! - I have the news on the brooches.
0:10:57 > 0:11:02He hit me with some complicated maths. It's about £110 for the pair.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- I still would really like to go for them.- Really?
0:11:05 > 0:11:09People know it. They're trendy-looking and they'll do well in Glasgow.
0:11:09 > 0:11:14- The ball's in your court, but can I throw something else at you that's speculative?- OK.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18It's so cheap, it's the kind of thing you might make a killing on.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19- Go for it.- Follow me.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22- Have a look at this.- OK.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26- This is a pocket barometer.- Right. - An aneroid barometer.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28- It helps you calculate altitude.- OK.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30- But what's the problem with that? - No hand.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32But it has innards.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35We know it's got a problem. It's a pig in a poke.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38- It's also £15!- That's good.
0:11:38 > 0:11:43With a hand and warranted, that's worth 50 to £80 at auction, any day of the week.
0:11:43 > 0:11:50But even as is, I don't think I'm going to bet on your compact or your silver or your brooches.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53But I'd bet on that. But you have to make up your mind
0:11:53 > 0:11:57- which of the four pieces you want to bank on.- OK.- OK.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01- I'd better run.- OK, we'll decide. - See you in two ticks.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Right. What are we going to go for?
0:12:03 > 0:12:08- I do still like the compact. If you get a compact collector. - The compact and the brooches.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- The brooches.- But the silver's good.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15It's so tense! They've actually bought nothing so far,
0:12:15 > 0:12:19but which three will they choose to go for, Bargain Hunters?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22You're on the last seconds here. One or two seconds left.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26What are we doing? As they approach the final fence!
0:12:26 > 0:12:31- We're going for the Lea Stein brooches...- The silver dishes
0:12:31 > 0:12:33and your pocket barometer.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36I think that is an interesting portfolio, if ever I saw one.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38- You've finished, have you? - Done it.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42Thank goodness for that because your time is up!
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Wow! Well, I'm exhausted. I don't know about you.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50At the last minute, the Reds decided the barometer trumped the compact
0:12:50 > 0:12:53and paid just £10 for this little beauty.
0:12:53 > 0:12:59The complicated maths on the Lea Stein brooches added up to £107.20.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02The silver trays were bought for 65.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- You left it to the last minute, didn't you two?- We did!
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Well, anyway, you finished up all right.
0:13:10 > 0:13:15You've spent £182.20. I'd like £117.80.
0:13:15 > 0:13:20Now, Paul, only you could be inheriting £117.80.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23What are you going to do with it, mate?
0:13:23 > 0:13:26I am going to try and find another little banker
0:13:26 > 0:13:30because I fear the brooches, sexy though they are,
0:13:30 > 0:13:34are going to make a big hole in our expectations.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- I need to find a little banker. - Yeah.- I think I have.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39- Very good luck.- Thank you.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Let's remind ourselves who the Reds are up against
0:13:42 > 0:13:44and what the Blues bought.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47They had very different tastes.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50But the Blues all walked away happy.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54Jane got a Victorian cranberry jug for 35.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58While the sampler kept Keith satisfied at £80.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Finally, Margaret's persistence paid off
0:14:01 > 0:14:04with the £70 Coalport bowl.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09You operate quickly, you two, aren't you? Dead slick.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11- A force to be reckoned with, I'd say.- Oh!
0:14:11 > 0:14:14And you spent £185, which is quite magnificent.
0:14:14 > 0:14:19I'd like £115 of leftover lolly to give to Keith Baker.
0:14:19 > 0:14:24- Oh! Look at that! You're happy with that, aren't you?- I am.- Good.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28What are you going to spend it on for the bonus buy to make a huge profit?
0:14:28 > 0:14:33I've had a look around and seen something that's small but beautifully formed.
0:14:33 > 0:14:34Bit like our team, then?
0:14:34 > 0:14:38- Absolutely.- Go and get your item in case someone else has bought it. - I hope not!
0:14:53 > 0:14:56It's great to be at Great Western auctions in Glasgow
0:14:56 > 0:15:00with our hostess and auctioneer, Anita Manning. Hi, Anita.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04- Welcome, Tim.- Marlene and Lauren, with Paul Laidlaw,
0:15:04 > 0:15:09- went first of all with these two brooches. - Lots of style. Lea was a Parisienne.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12These two are actually
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- two of the most desirable ones. - Are they?- Yes!
0:15:15 > 0:15:18What we want to know is, will they make a profit?
0:15:18 > 0:15:21I've estimated them 70 to 90.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Well, they paid an amazing £107.20p.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26That might be a wee bit too much.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Next, we have something supremely traditional.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Rococo style Edwardian silver dishes.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Rococo style, as you say, but kind of blowing a kiss at the Art Nouveau.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- How much, then?- 50 to 80.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41OK. Fine. They're just about in the middle at £65.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- Right. Well...- There's hope all round for that.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Now, how are you on your scientific instruments?
0:15:47 > 0:15:51- I bet you've looked this up! - Of course I have!
0:15:51 > 0:15:56- Who's it by?- It's T Wheeler Scientific Instruments Ltd.
0:15:56 > 0:16:01Now, they made instruments for the Royal Navy.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03- I've estimated at 30 to 50. - There we go.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Overall, then, there's lots of hope here.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09But just in case, they might need their bonus buy.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10Let's have a look at it.
0:16:10 > 0:16:15You left Paul £117.80. Let's see what he spent it on.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17HE LAUGHS
0:16:17 > 0:16:21- Can you see that? What do those letters say?- ATS.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23The Auxiliary Territorial Service.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27These are women that volunteer to, effectively, the army
0:16:27 > 0:16:29to free up men for the front.
0:16:29 > 0:16:34These women actually end up manning anti-aircraft batteries
0:16:34 > 0:16:35and so on, OK?
0:16:35 > 0:16:40But this little beastie - see that on the back? That number there?
0:16:40 > 0:16:42This is actually an issue award.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44These were officially handed out
0:16:44 > 0:16:48to the first volunteers, circa 1938.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50It'll make 20 to £30. How much did I pay for it?
0:16:50 > 0:16:53- Ten? 15?- £12.- Yes!
0:16:53 > 0:16:55You don't decide now. Decide later.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59For the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03Bought by Paul Laidlaw as ATS.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04War-time issue.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08Well, it's a fairly modest-looking wee thing.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11But the history makes it interesting.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14So this may have belonged to one of those women
0:17:14 > 0:17:19who joined up on the first day that they were able to.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23- What's the estimate? - 10 to 20.- Fine.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27£12 paid, so he should be lucky in making a profit on that.
0:17:27 > 0:17:28That's it for the Reds.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Now for the Blues. Jane and Margaret.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Their first item is this cranberry glass jug.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36It's a fairly standard Victorian jug.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39They paid £35. Was that too much?
0:17:39 > 0:17:41I've estimated it 25 to 40.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45I think it would definitely struggle to make the top estimate.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- Next is the sampler. Do you rate that?- People enjoy samplers.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52- Yes. So how much?- 60 to 80.- OK.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54£80 paid. So that's a bit tight, too.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- I think so. - What about the Coalport bowl?
0:17:57 > 0:18:00It's very colourful. It's in perfect condition.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02It's not an early one,
0:18:02 > 0:18:05but people will love this wonderful, vibrant pattern
0:18:05 > 0:18:07in the interior of the bowl.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11You're ever enthusiastic. Will you be enthusiastic with the estimate?
0:18:11 > 0:18:15- 50 to 70.- Not quite enthusiastic enough, cos they paid £70.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18I think they'll need their bonus buy. Let's have a look.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- So, girls, you spent £185.- Yes.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24And you gave £115 to Keith Baker.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26What did he spend it on?
0:18:26 > 0:18:30Gold cufflinks. Probably made in about the 1940s.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33And little dress studs. I went for these
0:18:33 > 0:18:36because gold prices at the moment are very good at auction.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38What do you think of them?
0:18:38 > 0:18:41They are very nice. I like the pattern on them. What do you think?
0:18:41 > 0:18:43I wish more men would wear them.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45I just don't know how popular they would be.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47They cost £58.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50I've got a feeling that the gold value is there in that.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53- I think it was a good buy, personally.- Yes.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55You don't have to decide now. Decide later.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59For the audience at home, let's find out what Anita thinks.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03It would appear these came from the right town.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04Glasgow! Do you rate them?
0:19:04 > 0:19:08These are quite nicely made. Art Deco, engine-turned. You have the
0:19:08 > 0:19:11studs with them. They're in perfect condition.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13So you're coming up with a monster estimate?
0:19:13 > 0:19:16- 50 to 80. - OK. £58 they paid.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19So that's not too bad, actually. And you're in good voice?
0:19:19 > 0:19:21- Of course!- Of course!
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- Marlene and Lauren. How are you feeling?- Excited!
0:19:31 > 0:19:35Are you? What are you most excited about, Marlene?
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Making some money!
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Now, the moment of truth.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Will plastic win out?
0:19:42 > 0:19:47Two Lea Stein celluloid laminate brooches.
0:19:47 > 0:19:48Will you start me at £50?
0:19:48 > 0:19:5250. 60. 70. 80. 90.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55100. £100.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59- Come on!- 100 for the two. 110.
0:19:59 > 0:20:00You're in profit!
0:20:00 > 0:20:01120 back in.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03- She's off!- 130.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05140.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09150! The lady's back at 150. Any advance
0:20:09 > 0:20:10on 150?
0:20:10 > 0:20:12All done at 150?
0:20:12 > 0:20:14150!
0:20:14 > 0:20:17That is brilliant! £150.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22You've made a profit of £42.80.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25That's good, isn't it?
0:20:25 > 0:20:26Next up is the dishes.
0:20:26 > 0:20:31It's this wonderful pair of Rococo-style dishes
0:20:31 > 0:20:34by Walker & Hall.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Start me at £50.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37I'll take 20.
0:20:37 > 0:20:3930. 40. 50.
0:20:39 > 0:20:4255.
0:20:42 > 0:20:4655. With you, sir, at 55. 60.
0:20:46 > 0:20:4765.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49- Yes, we're close.- 70.
0:20:49 > 0:20:5175.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53- Profit!- 75. With you, sir,
0:20:53 > 0:20:56at 75. 75.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00She's done it. £75. That's another tenner!
0:21:00 > 0:21:03A scientific instrument, ladies and gentlemen.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06An early 20th-century pocket barometer.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Start me at £20. 20 bid.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12- With you, sir, at 20. - Doubled your money already.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13Any advance on 20? 25.
0:21:13 > 0:21:1730. With you, sir, at £30.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21Any advance on £30? All done at £30?
0:21:21 > 0:21:23£30.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Good boy! £30. A profit of £20 on that.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29So we've got 42.80, 52.80,
0:21:29 > 0:21:33£72.80p profit.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37That is a profit on every lot and that very rarely happens on Bargain Hunt!
0:21:37 > 0:21:40So, team, you've done rather well.
0:21:40 > 0:21:41Thank you! Yeah!
0:21:41 > 0:21:45So what are you going to do? Bank this or risk it on the ATS brooch?
0:21:45 > 0:21:47- I'd like to risk it. - I think we should.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51This is a rare little brooch, one of the first issue of ATS badges.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Start me at £20.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56£20. £10, then?
0:21:56 > 0:22:0010 bid. Any advance on ten? 12.
0:22:00 > 0:22:0415. With the lady at £15.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08Any advance on 15? All done at 15. 15.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12That's it. £15. Cheap enough, but a profit of £3.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14We're not crabbing at that.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Didn't she do well to puff it up? That's brilliant.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19So, £72.80 plus three
0:22:19 > 0:22:22is £75.80p
0:22:22 > 0:22:25you girls will waddle off with in your back pocket.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27It'll be a great treat to give you cash.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31- The important thing now is not to tell the Blues a thing.- We won't!
0:22:41 > 0:22:45Now, Jane, Margaret and Keith. Have you been talking to the Reds?
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- Not at all!- Course not.- You don't know how they got on?- No.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Perfect. Mags, how are you feeling, girl?
0:22:51 > 0:22:55I've got my hanky here in case I have a bubble in case we lose!
0:22:55 > 0:22:59- Never mind.- That's confidence-making for you!
0:22:59 > 0:23:02- Ma, how are you feeling? - I'm full of confidence!
0:23:02 > 0:23:04- Are you?- Thank you!
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- Bet you haven't got your hanky with you!- Yes!
0:23:07 > 0:23:08Just in case!
0:23:08 > 0:23:11First up is your cranberry glass.
0:23:11 > 0:23:12Here it comes.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Ladies and gentlemen,
0:23:14 > 0:23:18is this very fine piece of Victorian cranberry glass.
0:23:18 > 0:23:19Start me at £20.
0:23:19 > 0:23:2120 bid.
0:23:21 > 0:23:2225. 30.
0:23:22 > 0:23:2335.
0:23:23 > 0:23:2440, fresh bidder.
0:23:24 > 0:23:29With you, sir, at £40. Any advance on £40?
0:23:29 > 0:23:32- All done at £40.- Fantastic.- £40.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35£40, Janey. Who would have believed it?
0:23:35 > 0:23:37- Well done. - Oh, I can hold my head up!
0:23:37 > 0:23:39- Fantastic. Well spotted.- Phenomenal.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42A lovely wee item. It's a wee Scottish sampler.
0:23:42 > 0:23:47Wee Annie Love from sunny Govan!
0:23:47 > 0:23:48Will you start me at £50? 50 bid.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51With you, sir, at 50. 50. 60.
0:23:51 > 0:23:5370. 80.
0:23:53 > 0:23:5590. 100.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57- 110.- Yes!
0:23:57 > 0:24:01110. With you, sir, at £110.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05Any advance on 110? All done at 110. 110.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Well done, Keith. £110. Plus 30.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10I have to take it all back, mate!
0:24:10 > 0:24:12- I take it all back.- Thank you, Tim.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Next up is your Coalport bowl.
0:24:14 > 0:24:20This exquisite Coalport porcelain fruit bowl.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Start me at 50. £30, then?
0:24:23 > 0:24:2630 bid. Any advance on 30?
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Any advance on 30? 40.
0:24:29 > 0:24:3150. 60.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33- 70.- Yeee!
0:24:34 > 0:24:39- You're on the money. - £70 for the Coalport. At £70.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Any advance on £70? £70.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46Yes, you sold for £70 but it's wiped its face. Nothing wrong with that.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50- No pain, no shame.- Thank goodness. - £35 up, then.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53£35 up, you two girls.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- You must be very pleased. - Oh, totally!
0:24:56 > 0:25:00A total of £35 and the prediction was so difficult.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04You had every chance of making losses there and you're £35 up.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06- That is short of brilliant.- Yes.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08You've got £35 in the bank.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12Are you going to risk it and go with the studs? Studs.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14- Will we go with it?- Right. - Let's go with it.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18You're going with the bonus buy? We've made a decision.
0:25:18 > 0:25:23A pair of nine-carat gold Art Deco oval cufflinks.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26- Will you start me at £50? - Come on, somebody!
0:25:26 > 0:25:2950 bid. Any advance on £50?
0:25:29 > 0:25:3160. 70.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35- 80.- Wooo!- 90. £90.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39With you, sir, at £90.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41- Any advance on £90? - This is exciting!
0:25:41 > 0:25:43All done at £90.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45£90.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48That's brilliant, isn't it? Two shy of 60.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50- That is £32.- Well done, Keith!
0:25:50 > 0:25:55£32. You are £67 up at the end of the day. How about that?
0:25:55 > 0:25:58- Thank you, Keith. - Put it there, mate.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01A thoroughly good result on the cufflinks. Brilliant.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04Now, don't say a word to the Reds, all right?
0:26:04 > 0:26:08£67 could be a winning score. All will be revealed in a moment!
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Bad luck, Blues. It was a close-run thing.
0:26:17 > 0:26:22But you can't win 'em all. Well done, Reds. Golden gavels all round.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24That's good. Isn't it?
0:26:24 > 0:26:26And that's not all.
0:26:26 > 0:26:31We've got two more teams of Bargain Hunters, warmed up
0:26:31 > 0:26:33- and under starter's orders. - WHISTLE
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Welcome aboard, sir! LAUGHTER
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Will the Blues manage to keep pace?
0:26:38 > 0:26:39Crisis stage.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41It's a belter of an auction for the Reds.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43I don't believe this!
0:26:43 > 0:26:46And love is in the air for the Blues.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50But before they take to the stage, I think it's time for a cuppa.
0:26:53 > 0:26:54In the late 19th century,
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Glasgow was a centre for the Temperance Movement.
0:26:57 > 0:27:02In the city, tea was promoted as an alternative to alcohol.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06As a result, tea rooms became popular and fashionable places to be seen.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Four of the largest tea rooms in the city
0:27:23 > 0:27:25were owned by Kate Cranston,
0:27:25 > 0:27:31some of which uniquely decorated by celebrated Scottish designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Fittings from three of these rooms
0:27:33 > 0:27:38are now on display at the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.
0:27:38 > 0:27:44In 1911, Miss Cranston commissioned Mackintosh to revamp the interior
0:27:44 > 0:27:49of one of her tea rooms in Ingram Street completely.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51And this is the result.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53I've got special permission
0:27:53 > 0:27:58to come up here and get close and personal with these fittings
0:27:58 > 0:28:05which have been set up in the museum exactly as they were in the tea room at the time.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09We've got a pagoda-like corner here
0:28:09 > 0:28:14in which you would intimately enjoy your cup of Oriental tea.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17The light in the room was not brilliant,
0:28:17 > 0:28:20and one of the things that he did was to introduce mirrors.
0:28:20 > 0:28:25Here we've got a series of vertical silvered glass panels.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27The silvering itself is imperfect,
0:28:27 > 0:28:30so it doesn't produce an ideal mirror
0:28:30 > 0:28:33but what it does do is to reflect the light.
0:28:33 > 0:28:38It's difficult to assess the inventive genius of Mackintosh,
0:28:38 > 0:28:43but I'd like you to have a look at this seriously wacky light fitting.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46It looks a bit like an Oriental warrior's helmet.
0:28:46 > 0:28:52It's made out of copper and artificially coloured to give it this patination.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Then Mackintosh, out of simple pine,
0:28:55 > 0:28:59has created this towering pagoda above.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03And that is attention to detail big time.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08One of the most striking features in the tea rooms
0:29:08 > 0:29:10would have been this structure.
0:29:10 > 0:29:16Can you believe it that a woman sat in here and her sole job was to take the money?
0:29:16 > 0:29:20This structure has had the Mackintosh makeover.
0:29:20 > 0:29:24He's got a pagoda support here in the roof.
0:29:24 > 0:29:28It's moulded with Chinese cloud bands.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32And what a brilliant job he's done of the vertical supports.
0:29:32 > 0:29:36A series of slightly stepped rectangular supports
0:29:36 > 0:29:39and where they're joined, there are blocks that contain
0:29:39 > 0:29:42further tapering rectangles.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46Even the mahogany surface over which the cash would have been passed
0:29:46 > 0:29:51has got this Chinese dental-type moulding.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53In short, a perfect place.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58But will our next teams achieve perfection
0:29:58 > 0:30:01with their purchases? Let's meet them and talk tactics.
0:30:01 > 0:30:07For the Red Team, we've got Betty and Phil, and for the Blues, we've got Beverley and Nigel.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10- Hi, guys.- Hello. - Phil, what do you do for a living?
0:30:10 > 0:30:15- I'm a taxi driver.- And how long have you done that for?- 33 years.
0:30:15 > 0:30:22- Have you got any famous stories about passengers?- I reckon probably Billy Connolly is the most famous.
0:30:22 > 0:30:29- Is he as amusing as he comes across? - He was with someone, so I never got a chance to talk to him.- Oh, dear!
0:30:29 > 0:30:32Betty, you used to be a train guard.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35That's right. I retired just a year ago.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39- How many years did you do that for? - 20 years.
0:30:39 > 0:30:44It says here that you consider that the train guard is more important than the driver.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48Well, we're the ones that are facing all the passengers.
0:30:48 > 0:30:54You certainly are. That's quite a brave job cos some of these people can be pretty peculiar.
0:30:54 > 0:30:59- Maybe it's brave or maybe it's stupidity!- You're also an incredible daredevil.
0:30:59 > 0:31:04- A wee bit of one.- So what have you been up to, you naughty girl?
0:31:04 > 0:31:09Not so many years ago, I abseiled from the top of the Hilton Hotel in Glasgow.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12- And you abseiled?- I abseiled down. It was for a charity.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14- It needs to be!- Yeah.
0:31:14 > 0:31:21- You seem to have the perfect balance in your team and you should do well today.- We'll try.- Very good luck.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25Now for the Blues... So you two love birds, how did you meet?
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Nigel and I met on a blind date.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30- Did you? With Cilla Black?- No.
0:31:30 > 0:31:34- Not on the show?- No. We were introduced through a mutual friend.
0:31:34 > 0:31:39So was it then just like "caramba", you met and you thought, "Oh, gosh"?
0:31:39 > 0:31:45We met and we hit it off. I thought, "Quite a nice chap," and he thought, "She's really quiet(!)"
0:31:46 > 0:31:51It just shows what you can cover up at the initial meeting!
0:31:51 > 0:31:56Only joking. Nigel, you've got an interesting means of transportation.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59Yes, we arrived today in my taxi called Marilyn.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01You bought yourself a black cab - why?
0:32:01 > 0:32:06I've always been interested in vintage vehicles and she appealed.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10That's great fun. Anyway, now our money moment.
0:32:10 > 0:32:16£300 apiece. You know the rules. Your experts await and off you go. And very, very good luck.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19So, if our teams today need a breakdown service,
0:32:19 > 0:32:23they've always got their experts to give them a kick-start.
0:32:23 > 0:32:28For the Red Team, Paul Laidlaw, who would never blow a gasket.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30And for the Blues, Keith Baker
0:32:30 > 0:32:33who likes a good finish on his glassware.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47This'll be the quickest hour in your life.
0:32:47 > 0:32:52- Only 60 minutes left. Let's go. Come on.- OK.
0:32:52 > 0:32:57They may have only just met, but Paul already knows the way to Betty's heart.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01- Did you work on the trains? - Yes. The railway.
0:33:01 > 0:33:07Well, not far from trains, if you worked on a boat, you might have used a boatswain's pipe.
0:33:07 > 0:33:13So that's the call that you would pipe the communications round the vessel or the commander on board.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15That alleges to be a silver one.
0:33:19 > 0:33:25If you wanted to play the game, you could buy that and I reckon you'd make a profit.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28- Uh-huh.- But it ain't an antique in my opinion.
0:33:28 > 0:33:32I wouldn't rush to buy it, but I would use that as a banker.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36If you've got five minutes to go, and we've used ten minutes already of our precious hour,
0:33:36 > 0:33:39that's when you could fall back on it.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42Why don't you give it a wee blow?
0:33:42 > 0:33:44BLOWS WHISTLE Welcome aboard, sir!
0:33:44 > 0:33:48As the Red Ship sets sail and they tactically put the pipe aside,
0:33:48 > 0:33:52the Blues only have one thing on their mind.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54What do you think of the coffee set?
0:33:54 > 0:34:00I like coffee sets. I'm not so sure about that one. It's not me. It's too heavy.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03It's very modern, but I think it's...
0:34:03 > 0:34:08Let's have a look. It's very iconic, very stylish. Portmeirion.
0:34:08 > 0:34:13- It's a good collector's area. - It wouldn't be me, but what do you think?
0:34:13 > 0:34:16I prefer something a bit more delicate than that.
0:34:16 > 0:34:21So the Blues seem to have their strategy in place - just look for a coffee set, what?
0:34:21 > 0:34:24Another coffee set.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28They're quite common. These are quite nice little coffee cans,
0:34:28 > 0:34:32individual ones. £10 the pair. They're absolutely amazing things for a fiver each.
0:34:32 > 0:34:36The teams are on a mission to seal their first deal,
0:34:36 > 0:34:40but Betty seems a bit cautious about the Reds' next find.
0:34:40 > 0:34:41Come and see this.
0:34:41 > 0:34:45- Let me see. - You put a candle in there.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49- You walk around the corridor with a candle in it.- I'd be a wee bit worried about a candle in that.
0:34:49 > 0:34:55- There's not much to hold it there. - So we know we have a chamberstick. - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:34:55 > 0:35:02And clearly it is commemorate of Ile de St Helene,
0:35:02 > 0:35:05where Napoleon was exiled.
0:35:05 > 0:35:10- Exiled, yeah.- For the second time. - He died on St Helena?- Yeah.
0:35:10 > 0:35:16But the lobes of the socket are all faced by imperial eagles.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20- So you've got that continuity there. - I think we'll get that. I really like that.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23- What's the price on that? - £24.- It's not a lot of money.
0:35:23 > 0:35:28- I think you need to try and just get that price down... - Half the price.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31- I like the way you think! - You start off there.
0:35:31 > 0:35:37Betty doesn't shy away from danger, so whilst the Reds get a price on the hazardous candlestick,
0:35:37 > 0:35:40the Blues have found just what they're looking for.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44We've got the Wedgwood mark on the bottom, as it says on the label.
0:35:44 > 0:35:50Moselle is the pattern. Whether it's anything similar like to the Moselle wine and everything,
0:35:50 > 0:35:53but this has got a vine leaf look.
0:35:53 > 0:35:57I see that it was 120. They've reduced it to 65.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01That would probably indicate that it's been here a little while,
0:36:01 > 0:36:04- but at £65, shall we have a go?- Yes.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07We'll see what we can get on that.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09A writing chest...
0:36:09 > 0:36:14- Your chamberstick - would you be happy at 20? - 20?- Aye, I think so.
0:36:14 > 0:36:20- Would you be happier at 18? - 18 would be better.- That's what you could get it for.- Smashing.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24- Sold.- Excellent. Well done. - It was just a wee bit over.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30The Reds have made their first purchase, so that's one up on the Blues.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33But Keith has news for his team.
0:36:33 > 0:36:38- I've just been to check on the Wedgwood coffee set.- Oh, yeah.
0:36:38 > 0:36:43Even though it's been reduced by half anyway, they're gonna knock another fiver off, so that's £60.
0:36:43 > 0:36:48- I think it's a good buy at that. - I think so.- Are you both sure?- Yes.
0:36:49 > 0:36:56So the Blues have their first purchase. 20 minutes down and it's 1-1.
0:36:56 > 0:37:03- Betty, tell us if there's any damage.- I'll let you have a wee look first since you picked it out.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06- There's no damage.- Nothing the matter with that?- Not a mark.
0:37:06 > 0:37:10- How old would that be?- It's a 20th century piece, but it's nice.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13I like the shamrocks. That would appeal to a lot of people.
0:37:13 > 0:37:17It cries out, this really fine porcelain.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19- Yeah.- It is...
0:37:19 > 0:37:22- all of £45.- Hmm.
0:37:22 > 0:37:27We need to get a big chunk off that, but I'm happy to give it a go for you.
0:37:27 > 0:37:33- See if you can find another bargain. - Do your best.- See you in a mo. - Right, see you shortly.- OK.
0:37:37 > 0:37:44The Reds could be racing ahead, but have the Blues struck lucky with a fishy find?
0:37:44 > 0:37:48"Deep-sea fishing reel, mahogany and brass-fitted Bakelite..."
0:37:48 > 0:37:51That gavel's actually quite a nice object.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54- How much is that?- £45.
0:37:54 > 0:38:00- Excuse me. Could we have a look in here?- Yeah, sure.- We'd like to look at that reel and perhaps the gavel.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04- Do you want a look? - I would like to see the reel, yeah.
0:38:06 > 0:38:07It's in good condition.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10That's where the rod would obviously slot in there.
0:38:10 > 0:38:14And you would screw on either side to hold it on.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17The Bakelite would put it in the '30s.
0:38:17 > 0:38:24- Is there a possibility of getting that for 25?- Yeah, I'll try. >
0:38:24 > 0:38:27- Shall we have a look at the gavel while we're here?- Yes.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32I thought with the little stand, obviously it's a...
0:38:32 > 0:38:35- That's nice when you see it. - It is nice with the ivory.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38- That's inlaid, yeah. - It's nice wood, nicely made.
0:38:38 > 0:38:42- It's quite in keeping with the programme as well.- Yeah.
0:38:42 > 0:38:46It was £65. It's been reduced to 45.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50- I think that sounds fairly reasonable.- Nigel likes a bargain.
0:38:50 > 0:38:54- If we can get a little bit more off it...- Anything will be helpful.
0:38:54 > 0:38:55- Shall we have a go?- Yes.
0:38:57 > 0:39:02At this rate, the Blues could finish their shopping before the hour is up.
0:39:02 > 0:39:08The Reds are so engrossed with their shopping, they've forgotten that Paul's there!
0:39:08 > 0:39:12- Right then, guys...- That's quite nice.- Here's the news.- Sorry?
0:39:12 > 0:39:17- Here's the news. - Is it good news or bad news? - Well, it's there or thereabouts.
0:39:17 > 0:39:22At the moment, and I think I'm almost as low as I'll get the price, it's down to £25.
0:39:22 > 0:39:27- Right.- Look, if it makes 20, you've no' lost a great deal.
0:39:27 > 0:39:31- Aye, that's true.- If it makes 35, great stuff.- You're a tenner up.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35It ain't gonna transform your fortunes one way or another,
0:39:35 > 0:39:39- but I've really pulled out the stops.- It's in with a chance.
0:39:39 > 0:39:46I reckon if I go back... Going back, you always get another pound or two and I'm always keen to take that.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50- If I can maybe make that 22, 23, do we do it?- Yeah. - You're up for that?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:39:50 > 0:39:55And Paul managed to get the price down to £22.
0:39:55 > 0:40:00With the Reds' second purchase in the bag, the Blues need to get prices on the reel and gavel.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03- Hi.- I found out the prices. - Good news or bad news?
0:40:03 > 0:40:09- Very good news. He can do the fishing reel for 20. - 20?- Yeah. And the gavel for 40.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12That's great. What do you think? Shall we...?
0:40:12 > 0:40:18I like them both. Let's just have a wee look round some of the other things.
0:40:18 > 0:40:22- You don't want to...? - Can you hold them both for us? Yeah, sure, no worries.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26'Another tactical move, this time from the Blues.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32Halfway through and the teams seem in pretty good shape.
0:40:36 > 0:40:43The teams still have a bit of time left and they're determined to keep sniffing out those bargains.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46We need something really sexy, don't we?
0:40:46 > 0:40:49- £18?- Yeah.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52I always feel I miss out.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54What do you think about this?
0:40:54 > 0:40:59- No?- Honestly? LAUGHTER
0:40:59 > 0:41:01I quite like that.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03- What do you think?- No.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06I think it's desperately out of fashion.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09Is it? I think it's lovely as well.
0:41:09 > 0:41:13Maybe that's me. I'm out of fashion!
0:41:13 > 0:41:18That's £120. "French mantel clock, circa 1880."
0:41:18 > 0:41:24- With minutes left, our teams need to make some crucial decisions. - Crisis stage.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28- Right then, folks, three minutes. - Right.- Right.
0:41:28 > 0:41:32We've still not made up our minds on the reel or the gavel.
0:41:32 > 0:41:36- Snaffle that boatswain's pipe. - I'm keen on the gavel.
0:41:36 > 0:41:40- I'm quite taken with that. - Three minutes, let's go.- Let's go.
0:41:40 > 0:41:46- Let's go and tell them that we'll have the reel and the gavel and we'll have a good go at it.- Great.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Phew! Thank goodness for that!
0:41:48 > 0:41:53- Are we going for it?- I think it's smashing.- I'll go and say yes then.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55- Yeah.- See you in a mo.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58Let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00Betty thought it was dangerous,
0:42:00 > 0:42:04but they plumped for the silver-plated chamberstick.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07Phil was taken with the Belleek porcelain jug.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11And it took them back to where they started -
0:42:11 > 0:42:15the silver Royal Navy whistle called a boatswain's pipe.
0:42:15 > 0:42:20- So, you two, you struggled to find something valuable.- Yeah, well...
0:42:20 > 0:42:24- And completely failed by only spending £60.- Yeah, I know.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Anyway, £60 only spent.
0:42:26 > 0:42:30£240 later...
0:42:30 > 0:42:35How can you go out shopping for an hour and only spend 60 quid?
0:42:35 > 0:42:38It's not strategic, I hasten to add.
0:42:38 > 0:42:43Off you go. Good luck. Let's remind ourselves what the Blues bought.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45They were keen to get a coffee set
0:42:45 > 0:42:50and the Wedgwood Moselle bone china one was the winner.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54Nigel was hooked on the fishing reel with brass and Bakelite fittings.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59And it would set any auctioneer's heart alight -
0:42:59 > 0:43:02the ebony and ivory gavel.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05You spent £120 which is not so much money.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08You're gonna give me 180 of leftover lolly
0:43:08 > 0:43:13for Keith to go off and find something brilliant that's going to churn out tons of profit.
0:43:13 > 0:43:16- I hope so.- Good luck. - See you later.- Lovely.
0:43:18 > 0:43:23Great Western Auctions in the centre of Glasgow is a short hike from Garrion Bridge.
0:43:23 > 0:43:29It's where our auctioneer, Anita Manning, is giving our bargains the benefit of her experience.
0:43:29 > 0:43:34Now, we've got Phil and Betty, their first item is a little chamber candlestick.
0:43:34 > 0:43:41- I suppose "chamber candlestick" because you put your wee candle in there and take it up to bed.- Yes.
0:43:41 > 0:43:47But its association, I think, with Napoleon is essentially a tourist market thing, don't you?
0:43:47 > 0:43:52Yes, I think it's been made as a souvenir for the tourist market in the 20th century,
0:43:52 > 0:43:54late, mid-20th century.
0:43:54 > 0:43:59- They paid £18. Do you think you can turn them a profit on that?- I think so.
0:43:59 > 0:44:03- I've estimated 20 to 30. - OK, brilliant. That's lovely.
0:44:03 > 0:44:09The Belleek porcelain jug looks just as if it may have come from Fermanagh in 1880.
0:44:09 > 0:44:12- But how much then, do you think? - It should do between £20 and £30.
0:44:12 > 0:44:15Great. They paid £22 which is not a lot of money.
0:44:15 > 0:44:19What do you think about the boatswain's whistle?
0:44:19 > 0:44:25I think they're wonderful. My old dad was in the Royal Navy, so I have a leaning towards there.
0:44:25 > 0:44:28- What do you think it might bring? - I've estimated 20 to 30.
0:44:28 > 0:44:33- £20 is all they paid.- I may have been a wee bit conservative there.
0:44:33 > 0:44:36So maybe we can watch out for some sparks there.
0:44:36 > 0:44:43- On your estimates versus what the team paid, they seem to be on a winning street here.- Yeah.
0:44:43 > 0:44:47But just in case, we'll have a look at their bonus buy. Here it comes.
0:44:47 > 0:44:54So, Phil and Betty, you gave Paul a massive £240. What did you spend it on?
0:44:54 > 0:45:00Well, have a look at that. Let me tell you. That is a Georgian silver dish stand.
0:45:00 > 0:45:04- Right.- Very simple and elegant, but I'll tell you what lifts it for me.
0:45:04 > 0:45:10It's this lovely little plaque here bearing an armorial crest.
0:45:10 > 0:45:14The big question is, how much?
0:45:14 > 0:45:16I paid £58 for that.
0:45:16 > 0:45:19- Right.- A 200-year-old piece of silver.- Jeez.
0:45:19 > 0:45:23On a good day, I think that could make £80 to £120.
0:45:23 > 0:45:25I haven't seen anything like it.
0:45:25 > 0:45:29Everybody seems to like it. You don't have to choose right now.
0:45:29 > 0:45:34But for the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about it.
0:45:34 > 0:45:36What do you make of that fellow?
0:45:36 > 0:45:41Well, it's an antique item. Early 19th century.
0:45:41 > 0:45:45The twist or rope work is beautifully done.
0:45:45 > 0:45:48- Lovely, Anita. How much? - 50 to 70.
0:45:48 > 0:45:50Laidlaw paid £58.
0:45:50 > 0:45:54- So your cunning compatriot... - Maybe I was a wee bit mean.
0:45:54 > 0:45:56Oh, surely not, Anita!
0:45:56 > 0:46:02That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues. We're gonna start off with the coffee set which is complete.
0:46:02 > 0:46:05When do you think it was made, Anita?
0:46:05 > 0:46:071970s. It would have been the height of style.
0:46:07 > 0:46:13- And today, what are you likely to get at auction? - The estimate on this, £50 to £70.
0:46:13 > 0:46:16£60 was paid. Right. So they stand a chance of making a profit.
0:46:16 > 0:46:18Next is this large reel.
0:46:18 > 0:46:21This looks like a bit of a rough old dude to me.
0:46:21 > 0:46:24Fishermen love anything to do with the equipment that they use.
0:46:24 > 0:46:30- Yes.- This would obviously have been used to catch very big fish.
0:46:30 > 0:46:34And that's about as much as I can say about it!
0:46:34 > 0:46:38- What's your estimate?- 25 to 40. - They'll be delighted.
0:46:38 > 0:46:40They only paid £20 for it.
0:46:40 > 0:46:46Now, the auctioneer's gavel. This is a pretty heavyweight gavel, isn't it?
0:46:46 > 0:46:51- Yeah.- Does it suit you?- Uh-huh. I quite like the gavel. - Good. How much?
0:46:51 > 0:46:55- 50 to 70.- £40 paid.- Oh, well, that's not too bad.- There we go.
0:46:55 > 0:47:00Depending on the fishermen, the junior league auctioneers
0:47:00 > 0:47:03and the young punters of Glasgow, we've got some interest here.
0:47:03 > 0:47:05Some variety.
0:47:05 > 0:47:09They may need their bonus buy, so let's look at it.
0:47:09 > 0:47:13So, team, you spent £120. You gave Keith £180.
0:47:13 > 0:47:15Let's see what he spent it on.
0:47:15 > 0:47:19- A-ha.- Oh. - Obviously, it's a box.
0:47:19 > 0:47:23The decoration is embossed pewter sheets,
0:47:23 > 0:47:25so date-wise, about 1900.
0:47:25 > 0:47:30- Yeah.- I suppose it's sort of a cross between Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau.
0:47:30 > 0:47:35I thought it would appeal to a Glasgow audience. What do you think?
0:47:35 > 0:47:40- Sounds good. What's it like inside? - What would it be used for? - Whatever you like.
0:47:40 > 0:47:47Trinkets of sorts. It's not lined as a jewellery box, but you could keep whatever you like in it.
0:47:47 > 0:47:53- I'm pleasantly surprised.- It cost £78.- It's nicely done. I like it, yeah.
0:47:53 > 0:47:56That's excellent. You don't choose right now, you choose later,
0:47:56 > 0:48:00but for the audience at home, let's find out what Anita thinks about it.
0:48:00 > 0:48:03So, Anita, this should be meat and drink to you.
0:48:03 > 0:48:11Glasgow School of Art held classes for metalwork in the 1930s and 1940s,
0:48:11 > 0:48:14so we see a lot of this type of thing.
0:48:14 > 0:48:17- How much do you think it will bring?- I estimated 60 to 90.
0:48:17 > 0:48:21- OK, £78 he paid, so slightly edgy, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:48:21 > 0:48:27- I'll have to give it a push. - You'll have to give it a push. No better at doing that than you!
0:48:34 > 0:48:38- Now, Phil and Betty, how are you feeling?- A bit nervous.
0:48:38 > 0:48:41- Are you?- Yeah. - Why's that?- Very nervous.
0:48:41 > 0:48:44- You were very cocky in the shopping. - Well, not so cocky now!
0:48:44 > 0:48:46First up is the candlestick.
0:48:46 > 0:48:48It's a silver-plated chamberstick.
0:48:48 > 0:48:50Can we say £50?
0:48:50 > 0:48:5440? Start me at 20 for the Napoleon chamberstick?
0:48:54 > 0:48:5720 bid. Any advance...? 30.
0:48:57 > 0:49:0040. I'll catch you in a wee minute. 40. The lady at 40.
0:49:00 > 0:49:02Any advance on 40?
0:49:02 > 0:49:06- £40!- Any advance on 40 on Napoleon's chamberstick?
0:49:06 > 0:49:12Any advance on £40? All done at £40? £40...
0:49:12 > 0:49:16- £40 is plus £22. That is brilliant. - That's great.- Smashing.
0:49:16 > 0:49:19- What a great start!- Brilliant.
0:49:19 > 0:49:22- All down to you. - Here comes the Belleek.
0:49:22 > 0:49:25Ireland's finest porcelain, ladies and gentlemen.
0:49:25 > 0:49:27Belleek, always a delight to handle.
0:49:27 > 0:49:31Here we have the three-strand basketweave jug,
0:49:31 > 0:49:34£50. 50? 40? Start me at £20?

0:49:43 > 0:49:4650. Fresh bidder at £50.
0:49:46 > 0:49:48We're doing well.
0:49:48 > 0:49:51- Any advance on 50? 60.- £60!
0:49:51 > 0:49:57£60. With the lady at £60. Any advance on £60?
0:49:57 > 0:50:02All done at £60. £60...
0:50:02 > 0:50:06- £60? That is unbelievable, isn't it?- I know. - That's another £38.
0:50:06 > 0:50:10Lot 96 is the boatswain's whistle.
0:50:10 > 0:50:14It has the Royal Navy insignia and it is marked for silver.
0:50:14 > 0:50:18Can we say 20 for the silver...
0:50:18 > 0:50:2020 bid. 20 bid.
0:50:20 > 0:50:2330. 40. 50.
0:50:23 > 0:50:28£50. With you, sir, at 50 for the boatswain's whistle.

0:50:38 > 0:50:41That's £30, £68, £88...
0:50:41 > 0:50:44That is £90. You are £90 up.
0:50:44 > 0:50:47Are you going to twist or stick?
0:50:47 > 0:50:51- What do you think? Go?- You want to go?- Yeah, we'll go for it.
0:50:51 > 0:50:54- You don't have to go. - No, we have confidence in Paul.

0:51:06 > 0:51:0960. Any advance on 60?
0:51:09 > 0:51:13- It's a profit.- Any advance on £60? All done at £60. £60...
0:51:13 > 0:51:17A profit is a profit. There's nothing the matter with that.
0:51:17 > 0:51:19- It's exciting, isn't it?- Yes.
0:51:19 > 0:51:23Plus £2 on that which is nothing to be sniffed at.
0:51:23 > 0:51:27- You are plus £92 overall. - That's a good day.
0:51:27 > 0:51:31You have made a profit between the three of you on every single item.
0:51:31 > 0:51:33I think that's phenomenal.
0:51:37 > 0:51:41- So, Nige, Bev, how are you feeling? - Good.- Excited.
0:51:41 > 0:51:45- Have you been talking to the Reds? - No.- Not at all.
0:51:45 > 0:51:47So you have no idea
0:51:47 > 0:51:49- how they've got on?- None whatsoever.
0:51:49 > 0:51:53First up is the coffee service and here it comes.

0:52:17 > 0:52:20- Any advance on £70? - We want more than 70.
0:52:20 > 0:52:23- £70 - 4555. - £70 is what you've got, girl.
0:52:23 > 0:52:27That's a genuine bid for £70. You've made £10 profit. Perfect.
0:52:27 > 0:52:29- It's on the right side of it. - The fishing tackle.
0:52:29 > 0:52:32Every home should have one.
0:52:32 > 0:52:35It's a large, mahogany, deep-sea fishing reel
0:52:35 > 0:52:38with brass and Bakelite fittings.

0:53:57 > 0:53:59- Wow!- £120, you're plus £80 on that,

0:54:03 > 0:54:06So, £95, you're up £95.
0:54:06 > 0:54:11- Are we going to go with the bonus buy?- Yeah.- Here it comes. Just in time!
0:54:11 > 0:54:15Lot 122 is this Glasgow style, Art Nouveau, beaten covered box.
0:54:15 > 0:54:19It's a risky job, isn't it? This is a risky moment. Dear, oh, dear.
0:54:19 > 0:54:22Start me at 50? Start me at 50? 50 bid.
0:54:22 > 0:54:28- Yes, 50.- Any advance on 50? - I'd like to have 60!- 60. 70.

0:54:42 > 0:54:46- Well done.- Well done, Keith. £80 is a couple of pounds profit.
0:54:46 > 0:54:50- I thought it would've gone for a bit more.- A profit in the bag.
0:54:50 > 0:54:53You are plus £97.
0:54:53 > 0:54:59- Oh, wow!- This gets really exciting now, so we don't want you saying anything to those Reds.
0:54:59 > 0:55:03- No.- Mum?- My lips are sealed. - Mum is the word.
0:55:08 > 0:55:12What a fantastically successful day we have had today!
0:55:12 > 0:55:16- This is unbelievable. You've been chatting?- No.- No.
0:55:16 > 0:55:21So nobody knows exactly where the scorecard lies. Yes?
0:55:21 > 0:55:29- But the audience know that there has been phenomenal profit-making today by both teams.- Oh, good.
0:55:29 > 0:55:36And if they've done the maths, they'll know that there is only a £5 note
0:55:36 > 0:55:41between the phenomenal profits that our teams have made today.
0:55:41 > 0:55:46And sadly, the runners-up, because we don't have losers today, happen to be the Reds.
0:55:46 > 0:55:49- Oh, no!- Unlucky.
0:55:49 > 0:55:53You are runners-up by making just £92-worth of profits.
0:55:53 > 0:55:58- That'll do nicely.- How do you feel about the £92 coming over, darling?
0:55:58 > 0:56:01Great. I'll have the 90, Phil'll have the 2.
0:56:01 > 0:56:04We can see who wears the trousers in your household.
0:56:04 > 0:56:08Anyway, congratulations. You've done enormously well.
0:56:08 > 0:56:13- But not quite well enough when it comes to the Blues.- Well done.
0:56:13 > 0:56:16£97 the Blues have achieved.
0:56:16 > 0:56:20- Sounds good.- Here it comes, Nige. - I'm getting it? Thank you.
0:56:20 > 0:56:22What you do with it later...
0:56:22 > 0:56:29- The Good Lord gives with one hand and no doubt Beverley will take with the other!- I'll have them as well.
0:56:29 > 0:56:31And there's £1 left over.
0:56:31 > 0:56:35- Have you had a good time?- Fabulous. - We've loved having you on the show.
0:56:35 > 0:56:39- Join us soon for some more bargain hunting. Yes?- Yes!
