0:00:02 > 0:00:05Do you know, there's something in the water today on Bargain Hunt?
0:00:05 > 0:00:08Well, something's got into their heads.
0:00:08 > 0:00:14Our teams are about to take the business of buying antiques incredibly seriously. ..Not!
0:00:14 > 0:00:20I can see we've got trouble on our hands today, so let's go bargain hunting.
0:00:47 > 0:00:52We've made our way to the Hungerford Arcade in Berkshire,
0:00:52 > 0:00:56where our teams have £300 and an hour to shop for three items
0:00:56 > 0:01:01which they'll sell at auction and make a massive profit.
0:01:01 > 0:01:07Sounds easy, doesn't it? Well, we'll find out just how easy it is.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11There's certainly an eclectic mix of items here, bargain hunters.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Let's meet the teams.
0:01:14 > 0:01:20On today's show we've got some likely lively lads and a couple of feisty women.
0:01:20 > 0:01:26For the Blues, we've got Amanda and Joan, and for the Reds, we've got friends, Phil and Dave.
0:01:26 > 0:01:31Welcome, chaps. Nice to see you. Phil, you used to have connections with the Fleet Auxiliary?
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- Yes, I used to work on the flight deck.- Vital tasks?- Yes.
0:01:34 > 0:01:40I was there for about four years and then one day I decided to fall through the ship.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- Fall through?- Yes, 65 feet.- I bet that didn't do you any good?- No.
0:01:43 > 0:01:48- I had two-and-a-half years in hospital.- My gosh!
0:01:48 > 0:01:51- Shattered pelvis in 32 places. - Good Lord!
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Still, you could have landed on your head.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56If I'd been a bit heavier, I would have done.
0:01:56 > 0:02:01A bit lighter, I'd have landed on my feet and still wouldn't have been here.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04That's a terrible story. I'm glad to see you looking so perky.
0:02:04 > 0:02:09- How do you think you're going to get on on Bargain Hunt?- You've got the winners definitely.- Oh!
0:02:09 > 0:02:12We like to hear that little bit of ambition in there.
0:02:12 > 0:02:18- Dave, you were in the army for a long time?- 23 years. I was an inventory manager.
0:02:18 > 0:02:19I do the same thing now
0:02:19 > 0:02:27- but I look after an inventory of about 6.3 million of furniture. - So you know about furniture?
0:02:27 > 0:02:28Modern furniture, yes.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Not so good for us though.
0:02:30 > 0:02:31No. Not today!
0:02:31 > 0:02:36- Now, you're a tall man.- Yes. - Once upon a time you were a good deal taller.- Yes, I was.
0:02:36 > 0:02:43I was a three inches taller. I used to be six foot three-and-a-half, and I weighed nearly 19 stone,
0:02:43 > 0:02:49and then I had a brain tumour removed and I was eight hours on the slab
0:02:49 > 0:02:56- and during that time I lost three inches in height and four stone in weight.- Oh, dear.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Yes. Didn't do me any harm. Well, I'm all right now.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01You're looking in the pink, yeah.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03Stop dribbling!
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Good.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08You're a bit of a collector as well?
0:03:08 > 0:03:13Oil lamps, baseball caps, of which I have one here.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15- That would be a moose. - That would, yes.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Somebody bought this for me. I don't wear them normally.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Definitely not indoors.
0:03:21 > 0:03:26Someone bought this for me from Canada.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31Get away! Definitely suits you. Doesn't it? Lovely. Do you think so, Phil?
0:03:31 > 0:03:38- I think he's boot-iful.- You think it's...?- Boot-iful.- Sold a turkey. - It could be!- It could be turkey.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Get a few steaks out of it.
0:03:41 > 0:03:46Lovely. I think you're going to do very well today. Now, the girls.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48What are you laughing at?
0:03:48 > 0:03:52That's no way to laugh at your opposition like that.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- It is very funny, though, isn't it? Now, Amanda.- Yes.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59- Joan is your mother-in-law.- She is. - Are you going to make a good team? - Oh, yes.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03- You've got your hands full at home, haven't you?- I've got four girls.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Have you? How lovely. What sort of ages?
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Nine, seven, two and one.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11It says here, "Does your husband help around the house?
0:04:11 > 0:04:15"Is he handy and is he the romantic type?"
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- No, he's not really romantic but his dad is.- He's not really romantic.
0:04:18 > 0:04:24His dad is, and he did go to his dad for some advice over a very expensive bottle of champagne that he had,
0:04:24 > 0:04:29so his dad advised him to run a nice bath, so when I came in from work, have a bowl of strawberries...
0:04:29 > 0:04:31- For you?- Yeah, for me.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35Feed them to me, I reached down to pick up a strawberry
0:04:35 > 0:04:42and his cat decided to deposit a mouse's head there instead, and I nearly ate it!
0:04:42 > 0:04:46- What?- The champagne came up pretty quickly afterwards.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50You nearly ate a raw mouse's head?
0:04:50 > 0:04:56Disguised as a strawberry! I hope you'll be up to keep your wits about you today, my girl.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58I don't want any mouse-eating here.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02Joan, you have an incredibly adventuresome spirit, don't you?
0:05:02 > 0:05:04- Oh, I love travel. - You like travel?- Yeah.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06What sort of places do you go to?
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Well, I've been to Vietnam.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- Have you?- Kazakhstan.- Kazakhstan?
0:05:10 > 0:05:14Yeah, but that was a train journey, five-week train journey.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18- All very comfortable facilities, was it?- Well, except for the Vietnamese train, yes.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22- Oh, why?- The toilets were the French variety.- What's that, then?
0:05:22 > 0:05:29- Two footprints, and very awkward on a moving train.- A moving train! With just the footprints.
0:05:29 > 0:05:35- Yes!- A round hole.- Yes!- And did you see the track going underneath? - Yes. And an open window there.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37An open window? That is friendly, isn't it?
0:05:37 > 0:05:41They're extremely good stories from you today. This has been amazing.
0:05:41 > 0:05:46Now, the money moment. £300 apiece. There you go.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48You know the rules. Your experts await!
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Off you go, and very, very, very good luck.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Dear, oh, dear, oh, dear!
0:05:55 > 0:06:00Let's hope our two experts today are prepared to be given the runaround,
0:06:00 > 0:06:03as they hand out their advice to the teams.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Mark Stacey is in training for the Reds,
0:06:05 > 0:06:10while Philip Allwood is resting before tackling the Blues. Ah!
0:06:10 > 0:06:13With only one hour to go, the pressure is on.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Get a move on, you lot!
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- Come on, we've got an hour. Let's go!- That's not long, is it?
0:06:18 > 0:06:20That's not long, no.
0:06:22 > 0:06:27What have we got in here? So, anything in particular you'd set out to come and buy?
0:06:27 > 0:06:30£2,995, I think that's a bit out of our league.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- Pairs of everything in here, it's amazing.- They have, yeah!
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- I can't see that making anywhere near that.- No.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- It would have had legs on it. - Oh, I see!
0:06:41 > 0:06:46Oh, there's a Tiffany's one there. How much is that? £55.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- Tiffany silver box there.- Oh, right.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51£55. Shall we have a look at that?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- Yes.- Ask the dealer if she'd pass it to us.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- Shall we have a look at it?- Yeah.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57It looks like it's got hinges on it.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Ah, there's a folding base, so...
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Make sure we don't drop it on the china. So...
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- It has got some damage, though. - What have we got?
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Let's see.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- The one problem I can really see with it...- It's got some damage.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12..is this big lump missing.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- Oh, yes, yeah.- And there's a bit of damage here as well.- Is there?
0:07:16 > 0:07:20- Just there.- Oh, goodness, yes, it's a bit split, isn't it?
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- I think that might a lot of people off.- Is that a no?!
0:07:22 > 0:07:24I think if it was in good nick...
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- That would have been good. - ..it would have been good. - Shall I pop it back?- Yes.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32So, the Blues strike out because of the damage.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34But the Reds seem to be having a bit more luck.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38Thank you! There we are, Mark.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42Oh, actually, there's a fair bit of weight on that, actually.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44- Yeah.- And it's nice engine-turned.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Not a bad price, £100, actually, for a nice little quality box like that.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51If we bought it, we'd have to try and...a little bit.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55- Yes.- Now, what have you got there? - I've got a little Tiffany note case.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59This is something completely different, because this is very modern.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03You can see that it's modern. You buy it because it's Tiffany.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- It's a Tiffany card case, yeah. - And it's not too bad.- It's nice.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09£55.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12But it looks very modern, doesn't it? It feels very modern.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Yes.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18But you've got Tiffany on the back there. Sterling underneath.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- I'd double-check that. And it comes of course in its... - In its own case.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26- ..in its fitted case, with its original little...- Little box.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30- Yes.- I mean I suppose, what would that be in Tiffany's?
0:08:30 > 0:08:35- You know, it would be more than £55. - Yes. It would be over £100, I would have thought, at least £100.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39- Yeah.- Why don't you ask the dealer what the best price is on it?
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Now, cash, we're talking here.
0:08:42 > 0:08:47- Yes.- We want... We want to make a profit on this.- Profit.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- Because all our profit is going to charity, you see.- To charity.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54That's the technique! We'll leave the Reds to their bartering,
0:08:54 > 0:08:55while the Blues get inside help.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59I've got something a little bit unusual to show you.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03- It's an old posset warmer. - Goodness gracious!
0:09:03 > 0:09:09And it's allegedly the property of James Fenimore Cooper -
0:09:09 > 0:09:11author of The Last Of The Mohicans.
0:09:11 > 0:09:17This letter seems to authorise that, from 1919. I found that inside here.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Goodness gracious!
0:09:19 > 0:09:21What an unusual thing!
0:09:21 > 0:09:25I only paid 110 quid, and I'm looking for 150, so...
0:09:25 > 0:09:27That's a very unusual piece.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29It is an unusual thing, isn't it?
0:09:29 > 0:09:35Pewter. Well, that doesn't happen very often, that we have this sort of thing gifted into our hands.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- What d'you think? - What would this have been used for?
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Right, a posset it was a drink for all ailments.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44It was a sort of ale and herbs,
0:09:44 > 0:09:47and this would have been filled with hot water,
0:09:47 > 0:09:52- placed at your bedside, with a beaker or...keeping it warm.- Yeah.
0:09:52 > 0:09:58- So it was for drinks.- A drink. - Alcohol, there you go!
0:09:58 > 0:10:01It probably would have had some sort of alcohol in there, yes.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03It was in the days when this was made,
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- it was considered a good thing to have.- Absolutely.
0:10:06 > 0:10:11- Is it collectible? - Well, I think it's one of those things, it's a very unusual piece.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15- It's just a thought.- Yeah.
0:10:15 > 0:10:20- Erm, and 150 is your best on it? If you've just got it in? - Come down. Come down.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22You can do a little bit for us, can't you?
0:10:22 > 0:10:24I'll do it for 140.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28Because I do think it's got some interest value. Pewter...
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- 125.- How much?!
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- I can't do 125!- She's hard!
0:10:33 > 0:10:35< 135.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37I've just paid 110, seriously.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- That's a quick profit, then.- 135. 135, then.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44- Shall we go for that?- Yeah.- Done. - Excellent! You've been done!
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Well, we'll find that out at the auction.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51So, the Blues have their first item,
0:10:51 > 0:10:56while the Reds are busy sealing the deal for the Tiffany silver card case.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58- 38?- 38...
0:10:58 > 0:11:00- OK, then.- Sure?
0:11:00 > 0:11:0138. No, I'm not sure, but I will.
0:11:01 > 0:11:06- Very kind.- That would be brilliant at 38.- Yeah, 38 would be fantastic.
0:11:06 > 0:11:12Good job, guys. Elsewhere in the antiques centre, the Blues are making bargain-hunting look easy.
0:11:12 > 0:11:17Just wanted to have a look at the pedestal bowl there, on the base, that...
0:11:17 > 0:11:21And can we have a look at the jug as well?
0:11:21 > 0:11:26This jug, the one right in the corner that's furthest away from you and more difficult to get!
0:11:26 > 0:11:31- So, what we have here is two things to think about, don't we?- Mmm.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33The jug or the sugar basin.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Given away by the tongs.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38But the one thing that concerns me about it is,
0:11:38 > 0:11:43if you look closely on the base, you can see where the nickel is coming through.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- Oh, yeah. - So, a plated base on a silver...
0:11:46 > 0:11:50I'm not sure about that, I'm a little bit uneasy. I think it should be a silver base.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54- I wonder whether it's been attached. This, however...- I like this.
0:11:54 > 0:11:59..is pretty. Nice clear silver hallmark there for London, 1922.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Maker's mark is a rubbed so I can't actually see
0:12:02 > 0:12:03who it's by.
0:12:03 > 0:12:08But he was, you know, he was an accomplished maker, wasn't he?
0:12:08 > 0:12:12The lovely line there, it hasn't been made by a fool, has it?
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- Yeah.- Art Deco.- Good shape.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18It covers your Art Deco thing, yeah.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20- Nice clean lines.- Exactly.
0:12:20 > 0:12:25- And again, would be the sort of thing that would be just as happy in a modern or an ancient house.- Yeah.
0:12:25 > 0:12:30- I like the rim on it, I like that it goes all the way around there. - Exactly.- It isn't just shaped.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34- No, absolutely. It's quite a nice, elegant-looking piece. - Yeah, I like that.
0:12:34 > 0:12:39- What do you two think?- That one. - Yeah. I would want that one. - Really?
0:12:39 > 0:12:43- Yeah.- I'm glad to hear that, cos that's exactly what I think.
0:12:43 > 0:12:48- Erm, I think we'll pass on that one, and...- Take that one.- Definitely.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52The thing we need to consider before we make a final decision is the price.
0:12:52 > 0:12:57We've got £105 on it. We really need to be getting it down below £100.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Closer to £80 or £70, on a good day.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03I think we need to try and do something with that.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07- OK, fine.- Shall we go and see if we can find out what he'll take?
0:13:07 > 0:13:09- Yes, definitely.- OK.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Another decision well-made.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16They bought the silver cream jug for £85.
0:13:16 > 0:13:22If you'd like to go bargain hunting in a place like this, then simply apply for an application form!
0:13:22 > 0:13:24E-mail us at...
0:13:26 > 0:13:29..and we'll simply do the rest!
0:13:33 > 0:13:37- £125. Oh, gosh. - We need a good profit.
0:13:37 > 0:13:38£225 for that jug?!
0:13:38 > 0:13:41I've got confidence that we can do this.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45There's faith for you. But you'd better get those Reds moving, Mark!
0:13:45 > 0:13:50- What is this? - What have you got there? - I think it's Crown Ducal, I think.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54Yes, it is, well of course, it screams one period only - Art Deco.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58You've got this sort of ribbed body and then you've got this rather funky form,
0:13:58 > 0:14:00and bright colours on it.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04- It's in condition. - In good condition. - Looks in good nick, doesn't it?
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Crown Ducal are well-known. They're a smallish factory based in Staffordshire.
0:14:08 > 0:14:14In the late 19th century, they were producing very Edwardian china with lots of swags and pheasants.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- Very much in the Royal Worcester style.- Right.
0:14:16 > 0:14:21But in the '20s and '30s, they did develop quite a culture for this Art Deco movement.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Charlotte Rhead became a designer for them.
0:14:24 > 0:14:29- She ranks up there with people like Clarice Cliff and Susie Cooper, for example.- Really?
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- Yeah.- Now, it's not signed, but it's very much in her style.
0:14:32 > 0:14:37- With this little tube line decoration, etc.- Yeah.- And it's quite a funky form, really.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41- It is, isn't it?- And you can see a youngster would appeal to that.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43- Cos it's stand-alone. - I like the three handles.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46- Three handles.- Yes. Bright colours.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49- It's a little bit expensive at £56, isn't it?- Mmm.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51- Get that down.- A few pound off.
0:14:51 > 0:14:57If we can get that down to sort of £40 or so, or £45,
0:14:57 > 0:14:59then we might be in with a chance.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01- Yes. I like that.- Very nice.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03- See if we can get the price down. - Absolutely.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06It's a unanimous decision.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09But at £40, is it a clever one?
0:15:15 > 0:15:18I like all this Lalique class.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19But I'm afraid it's...!
0:15:19 > 0:15:22- That's right, yes! - Perhaps we'll come back to that.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24- It's not expensive.- No.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26It says Georgian on the label, doesn't it?
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Yes, but that's a bit...
0:15:29 > 0:15:31We've got doubters.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- That's not worth taking a risk with. - No, it's not.
0:15:34 > 0:15:39The Blues have been spending up a storm, with 220 smackers gone on
0:15:39 > 0:15:43their first two buys, leaving them just £80.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46That's quite a nice-looking chair, I think.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49It's had some little alterations underneath it.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51These pine blocks put in there.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Is that to make it more sturdy?
0:15:53 > 0:15:54- Yeah.- To keep it together!- Exactly.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Does that devalue it much?
0:15:58 > 0:16:02Well, the thing is with this, they normally come in pairs.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- Right.- To go on either side of a door in the hallway.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09- Yeah.- You can imagine a big marble hallway, these sitting either side,
0:16:09 > 0:16:11- they'd look elegant as a pair. - They would.
0:16:11 > 0:16:16As a single chair, they're a little bit more difficult to place.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20But, erm, a nice traditional piece, nice traditional English wood.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23And very architectural design.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27It's a nice back, architectural design there.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Broken-arch pediment. It's got a touch of elegance about it.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Good, solid piece. What are they asking?
0:16:36 > 0:16:37Oh, £39.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41I wonder if we could get it down to sort of more like
0:16:41 > 0:16:4325 quid. That would help.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Do you think it would stand a chance?
0:16:45 > 0:16:49- Well, it's not an expensive buy at 25 quid, is it?- No, I don't think...
0:16:49 > 0:16:54I don't think so, for a solid oak chair, I don't think that's bad.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56How long have we got before we...?
0:16:56 > 0:16:58We've got about 20 minutes.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- Oh.- So we could come back to it. - If we leave it here...
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Give it 10 minutes. And if there's nothing else, we'll come back.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Exactly, we'll have a go at it.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Yeah, I think it might be worth a punt.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12While the Blues are hedging their bets,
0:17:12 > 0:17:16the Reds have got a whopping £220 left for their final item.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Gosh, that's quite fun, isn't it? In a fireplace, it's quite fun.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23I don't know if people use these things any more.
0:17:23 > 0:17:29- It's fun more than anything, I suppose. It's what we generally refer to as a companion set.- Yes.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32You've got a little brush there and a little shovel.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35You're missing the poker and the tongs.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Yeah. There's an old chain here.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Well, it's been made up. It's not really an antique as such.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44- It's just its own components that somebody's put together.- Mmm.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48But I can see it in an Old England fireplace or something like that.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52- Yes.- It's marked up at £34, so we should get some money off.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55We could get a few pounds off that. Make a little profit.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Well, you never know. I mean, would you have it in your house?
0:17:58 > 0:18:01David would, cos he's got a nice little fire stove.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03I've got a wood-burning stove.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Should look all right, by the side of my stove.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Well, there we are. If you like it, then we should have a go at it.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10Get a few pound off of that.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- Old shoe nails as well.- Shoe nails.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- Yeah.- Well, let's have a word with the dealer.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20Hopefully we'll get a little bit off and then we can make a decision once we know.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Probably get a few pound off, it should be all right.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Is it rustic or rusty that comes to mind, bargain hunters?
0:18:26 > 0:18:31With £20 paid, the Reds now have all three items.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34£5.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Probably about £3 too much.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- Cheap sounds good.- Cheap as chips!
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Lots and lots of things.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47Decisions, decisions. That's what it's all about on Bargain Hunt.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50But probably one of the biggest decisions that
0:18:50 > 0:18:55the team makes is to whether they go with the bonus buy or not.
0:18:55 > 0:19:00Any leftover lolly is given to their experts to spend
0:19:00 > 0:19:04on that special item, the bonus buy, which can make all the difference.
0:19:04 > 0:19:10The teams see the piece when they get to the auction and that's the moment that they decide whether to
0:19:10 > 0:19:15take the risk or not. We don't want to make it too easy for them!
0:19:15 > 0:19:20After another look around, the Blues are back at the little wooden chair.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23But is the price right to tempt them to buy?
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Ah, here it comes!
0:19:25 > 0:19:28(I wonder what's gonna happen! Here we go)
0:19:28 > 0:19:30I've rung the dealer.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32He thought 25 was a bit too low.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34But he's prepared to go to 28.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38Oh, that's... I think 28's OK.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39- We'll live with that.- Yeah?
0:19:39 > 0:19:44- I think it's got just as much chance really at 28 as 25.- OK, fine.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- It's not a million miles out. - No, no.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49- We're not going to argue over £3. - I don't think so, no.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51I think we'll do that deal.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55- Thank you.- We'll take up to the front.- Wonderful.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59- Is that the third item? - That's the third item.- We are done.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01We can have a cup of tea!
0:20:01 > 0:20:03And a chat. My favourite pastime.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08A cup of tea. That sounds good.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Let's recap on the Reds' buys, while the kettle boils.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17The Tiffany silver card case, in its original pouch,
0:20:17 > 0:20:20seems like a good buy at £38.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25At £40, the Crown ducal vase might be a steal.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31And finally, at £20,
0:20:31 > 0:20:35was the rusty rustic companion set - a brilliant buy for the Reds.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39So lads, did you have a good time shopping?
0:20:39 > 0:20:43- Brilliant.- Which was your favourite piece, Philip?
0:20:43 > 0:20:45- The Tiffany cardholder. - And you, Dave?
0:20:45 > 0:20:48The same, the Tiffany hard case.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51You spent a pathetic £98.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Dear, oh, dear. £202 of leftover lolly.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58202, thank you very much, Dave.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01What about this? You could buy half the Antiques Centre for this!
0:21:01 > 0:21:03I know, I have never had so much money.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05You've never had so much?
0:21:05 > 0:21:06I'm normally left with the £2.
0:21:06 > 0:21:13- Quite.- I'll find something which I think is a bit of a good bargain, not anywhere near £200.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15There you are. You're such a tease.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18You better slip off and make quite sure that you get it.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Let's remind ourselves of what the Blues bought.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26The Blues paid £135 for the pewter posset warmer.
0:21:29 > 0:21:34The Silver Queen jug cost £85. It's very pretty, but is that too much?
0:21:35 > 0:21:39At £28, the Victorian hall chair seems quite a good buy,
0:21:39 > 0:21:41but it's missing its partner.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47- Now you two, did you have a good turn shopping?- We did, yes.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49- Which is your favourite piece?
0:21:49 > 0:21:51- The silver jug. - Favourite is the silver jug.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53What about you?
0:21:53 > 0:21:57I like the silver jug, but I think the pewter posset warmer.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00It could either fly or bomb, but I like that. It's interesting.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02How are you with the posset, Joan?
0:22:02 > 0:22:05- Fine.- Have you been recently?
0:22:07 > 0:22:08You spent £248, which is great.
0:22:08 > 0:22:15I want £52 of leftover lolly, which goes straight here to find your bonus buy,
0:22:15 > 0:22:19which the team will not see until they get to the auction, which is exciting.
0:22:19 > 0:22:24- Got anything in mind? - I have, yes. No clues.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27- It's not scales.- It's not scales?
0:22:27 > 0:22:29- Or a tea caddy. - They will be pleased.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31But you have something in mind?
0:22:31 > 0:22:32- Marvellous.- It is going to be fine.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Seize the moment!
0:22:34 > 0:22:40If you want a little bit of peace and quiet, I know exactly the place to go and visit.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Welcome to Salisbury, in Wiltshire.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Known as "the city in the countryside",
0:22:52 > 0:22:55with 5,000 years of history,
0:22:55 > 0:23:00but the bit that interests me is the 18th century. What, what?!
0:23:07 > 0:23:11And it's during that period here, in Cathedral Close,
0:23:11 > 0:23:14that Salisbury's elite lived.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Surgeons, generals, Members of Parliament,
0:23:17 > 0:23:21high servants of the cathedral, all going about their business.
0:23:21 > 0:23:28It was over there, at beautiful Mountpleasant House, where such gentry lived.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Inside, it's rather impressive.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39I'm here to see a stunning dressing table that back in its day
0:23:39 > 0:23:42would have been a very enviable piece of furniture to own.
0:23:44 > 0:23:45So, what's all the fuss about?
0:23:45 > 0:23:50Looks like a pretty straightforward 18th century rectangular,
0:23:50 > 0:23:54quite nicely decorated and veneered side table.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56But nothing special, eh?
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Until you go through this opening process.
0:23:58 > 0:24:03Firstly, grip the outside handles and slide
0:24:03 > 0:24:09very, very gently towards you, until the whole thing is exposed.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Then, we have got two flaps.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13They hinge up,
0:24:13 > 0:24:16like that.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18And on this side,
0:24:18 > 0:24:20like that.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24But they're not two ordinary flaps.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28What they've got inside are hinged mirrors.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32Each of those hinged mirrors operates on a spigot,
0:24:32 > 0:24:38which means that the mirrors can be adjusted to practically any angle on either side.
0:24:38 > 0:24:43Originally, there would be a tall dressing mirror on top of this piece
0:24:43 > 0:24:49so that, as all those girls know, when they go out in their gladrags and you want to adjust
0:24:49 > 0:24:53your hair and your make-up most perfectly, sit in the middle of
0:24:53 > 0:25:00this lot, almost surrounded by mirrors all the way round and, hey presto, every feature about your
0:25:00 > 0:25:04coiffeur or your make-up can be carefully checked.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08But that's not all. In the middle, we've got a further drawer.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11It opens up, where there are a series of compartments,
0:25:11 > 0:25:15in which you'd store your make-up, perhaps your jewellery.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19All in all, it is a pretty elaborate piece.
0:25:19 > 0:25:24The other special thing about it is that it features in a design book.
0:25:24 > 0:25:29Here we've got a copy of George Hepplewhite's Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterer's Guide.
0:25:29 > 0:25:34If I flick through that, on plate 79,
0:25:34 > 0:25:40there is an engraving showing exactly this dressing table.
0:25:40 > 0:25:45Interesting, isn't it? There's not much that's known about George Hepplewhite during his life,
0:25:45 > 0:25:51he died in 1786, but his widow, Alice, two years after his death,
0:25:51 > 0:25:55produced this book with 300 of his designs.
0:25:55 > 0:26:01Like so many 18th century cabinet makers who produced printed books -
0:26:01 > 0:26:08Chippendale, Sheraton and Hepplewhite - that has recorded those designs for all time.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Their names have become immortalised
0:26:11 > 0:26:14and, of course, the style of these pieces of furniture
0:26:14 > 0:26:19has been reproduced very, very often over the succeeding centuries.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24The big question is, are any of our teams going to have
0:26:24 > 0:26:28style icon status today over at the auction?
0:26:29 > 0:26:3335...40...5...and 50.
0:26:33 > 0:26:3655, 60, 5, 70.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37All done?
0:26:39 > 0:26:44It's grand to be with Richard Kay at Lawrences saleroom in Crewkerne.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45- Hello, Tim.- Great to be here.
0:26:45 > 0:26:51Our Red team today, Phil and Dave, first item is this Charlotte Rhead lookalike pot.
0:26:51 > 0:26:56Very stylish piece, very evocative of its era, inter-war British design.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59It lacks a signature on the bottom.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03Therefore it's probably 30 or £40, I think, at best.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06- £40 they paid. - So they're in the frame.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09They could easily make it, which would be great.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13Next, is this seriously heavyweight fireside companion.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15It's missing a couple of bits.
0:27:15 > 0:27:20I think that shows rather too much evidence of the way in which it was made, I'm afraid.
0:27:20 > 0:27:25I think it's a very rustic piece indeed, with these uneven nails across the top.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27I don't think there's a lot of quality in that.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Definitely not, but it's got a look, I find.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34It's got a look but I think it's a look with a rather narrow appeal.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36A guesstimate as to what it might bring?
0:27:36 > 0:27:39I think it might be 15, maybe £20.
0:27:39 > 0:27:44No sweat, they paid £20, they didn't over-pay for it. It's a bit of fun.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Once again, they might just get there.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Last item is the Tiffany card case, complete with its pouch.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53Is that something that appeals to you, Richard?
0:27:53 > 0:27:57It does rather appeal to me, because Tiffany is associated with very good
0:27:57 > 0:28:02quality craftsmanship, and it's silver, it's sterling standard silver, as well.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05It's not been engraved so it's perfect to give it as a gift.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08- I think it would make 30 or £40. - Brilliant. £38, they paid.
0:28:08 > 0:28:09That's fine. A very good price.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13We have a trio here, I think, with immense potential.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17But just in case they might need their bonus buy, let's go and have a look at it.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21So, boys, you spent a pathetic £98, yes?
0:28:21 > 0:28:24£202 went to Mark Stacey.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Rumour has it he spent the lot.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28What on? Let's have a look.
0:28:30 > 0:28:35- Oh, my...- I thought quirky. It's a 1930s motorbike fire extinguisher.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37You wouldn't put a lot out with that.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39I think that's rather a collector's item.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43And it was only £25.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46- Only?- You're not impressed, are you?
0:28:46 > 0:28:48No, not particularly.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50I've put your fire out, then?
0:28:52 > 0:28:56Indeed you did. How much do you think that's gonna make, then, Mark?
0:28:56 > 0:29:00Things to do with automobilia, it's very sought after.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03In Crewkerne?
0:29:03 > 0:29:06Well, I've got every confidence in it.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09Yeah? You have!
0:29:09 > 0:29:12I think the liquid is still in there, you know?
0:29:12 > 0:29:16- There's something in it.- Whatever you do, don't press the button in here.
0:29:16 > 0:29:21Well, I think there's a profit in it. I think that might make £30 or £35.
0:29:21 > 0:29:27Mr Stacey has often been right in the past, particularly with his automobilia punts.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31I think he might have got it wrong on this one.
0:29:31 > 0:29:36£25. Watch the man's lips, he thinks it might make £10 or £20 profit,
0:29:36 > 0:29:42if there are a lot of bikers in Crewkerne today who happen to have overheated engines.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Lovely. Thank you very much for that.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48For the viewers at home, why don't we find out what the auctioneer
0:29:48 > 0:29:51thinks about Mark Stacey's fire extinguisher?
0:29:51 > 0:29:54Richard, you're talking about a variety of objects.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58The odd ball and extreme that we come across on Bargain Hunt.
0:29:58 > 0:30:03To finish up the trio, we have a motor bicycle fire extinguisher.
0:30:03 > 0:30:08I have never seen or handled or sold a motorcycle fire extinguisher.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12- Never, ever? - No.- What a sheltered life you've had.
0:30:12 > 0:30:13It's a first for me.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16Quite how much broad appeal that's got, I don't know.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19If anyone would pay more than £10, I don't know.
0:30:19 > 0:30:24Once again, it's been inexpensively bought at £25 and, you never know.
0:30:24 > 0:30:31- You never know. - Anyway, that's it for the Reds, now for the Blues, John and Amanda.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35They've been tempted, first off, with this pewter posset warmer.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38I'm riveted to find out what do you think about this.
0:30:38 > 0:30:42I'm sure you'll agree, few things more irksome than a cool posset,
0:30:42 > 0:30:47so the need to warm it up this quite important.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51But this is a very cumbersome device for keeping a drink warm. It is an odd design, as well.
0:30:51 > 0:30:57It looks like it's meant to be a foot warmer and it looks as though it dates from the 18th century.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01It's got this cumbersome and unattractive handle on the top.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04A curious extra element is that I gather
0:31:04 > 0:31:06it was once owned by James Fenimore Cooper.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09According to that letter.
0:31:09 > 0:31:13I don't know whether the collectors of pewter posset warmers
0:31:13 > 0:31:18care two hoots about James Fenimore Cooper, or vice-versa, so it is a strange combination,
0:31:18 > 0:31:22but I'm going to expect that it might make £40 to £60.
0:31:22 > 0:31:27OK, they paid £135, which doesn't sound so much if you say it quickly.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29Brilliant. What do you think about the cream jug?
0:31:29 > 0:31:35The cream jug is a cream jug of no particular merit, I would have said.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38The marks are very worn, which is off-putting.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41It's only 1922...
0:31:41 > 0:31:45One would expect a 1920s mark to be a clearer than this. It has been over-zealously polished.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Small silver is collectible,
0:31:47 > 0:31:50so I would hope that that would make perhaps £30 to £40.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54£85, they paid, you see? That's right pushing the outer edge
0:31:54 > 0:31:59of the retail value, with something with rub marks and no great weight.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02I think you're absolutely spot on and they could be in trouble.
0:32:02 > 0:32:07Their last piece is an incredibly unfashionable, uncomfortable
0:32:07 > 0:32:11and difficult piece of furniture to sell, I would have thought.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14It's hard to believe they were designed to be sat on.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16Only briefly, I fancy.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19While you were waiting in the hall.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22It's missing its partner. Hall chairs were nearly always in pairs.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24What's your estimate on it?
0:32:24 > 0:32:27I think it might make £20, perhaps, if two people want it.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31OK, they paid £28, so not a huge price.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33So, they're gonna need their bonus buy.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36Let's go and have a look at it.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39Now, Joanie, Amanda, you spent £248,
0:32:39 > 0:32:44you gave Philip Allwood £52, what did he spend it on?
0:32:46 > 0:32:50Well, a very classy-looking piece of mahogany,
0:32:50 > 0:32:54dating to probably 1920ish,
0:32:54 > 0:32:57and a super pedestal bowl.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00Good looking, classic designed, and useful.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03You could actually put nuts...
0:33:03 > 0:33:04Perfect nick, is it?
0:33:04 > 0:33:07Pretty much, I think, yeah.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Can't see any damage on it at all.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11It's pretty good. I like it.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13It's a good, classy-looking bit of kit.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15- It's heavy.- Is it?
0:33:15 > 0:33:16Joanie likes to feel the weight.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20- How much is it? - How much did I pay for it?
0:33:20 > 0:33:23There we go, I think it was a very reasonable £40.
0:33:23 > 0:33:24- That's not bad.- Not too bad.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27That's super, isn't it?
0:33:27 > 0:33:30- Do you like it, girls?- I like it, yeah. I could see that in my house.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34Brilliant. Well, you've got a hit there, Philip.
0:33:34 > 0:33:41For the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Philip Allwood's nut dish.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Richard, something for your nuts.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46Thank you very much, I'll keep my nuts in it.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49This is beautifully-made and it's got a lovely rich colour to it.
0:33:49 > 0:33:53I think that's a fruit bowl for an Edwardian or post-Edwardian dining table.
0:33:53 > 0:33:58It's an item that feels slightly out of time at the moment.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02- There aren't many people wanting fruit bowls that look quite like that.- No.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04But it's got a classical form.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07It feels to me more like a piece of craft than a piece of art.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11You've got me there, that's quite deep thinking, that is.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13This is a first for Bargain Hunt.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15What about estimates?
0:34:15 > 0:34:19The estimate on that, it might make perhaps £30 to £40.
0:34:19 > 0:34:23Philip Allwood loves it, he paid £40, which again is not a lot.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26And for the right person, I can see them paying £60 if we're lucky.
0:34:26 > 0:34:30- If we lucky, yeah. - And you're in charge.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33Good, well, I'll do my very best to get the best possible price.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36We're in safe hands.
0:34:43 > 0:34:47Phil, Dave and Mark, this is just so good, isn't it?
0:34:47 > 0:34:50Oh, it's absolutely brilliant.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53What's your prediction? Are you going to do all right, Dave?
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Um, I don't see why not.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57I think we got some good stuff.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00- Yes, I think we could make a few bob.- What about you, Phil?
0:35:00 > 0:35:03- Are you feeling confident, mate? - I am.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Confident?
0:35:05 > 0:35:06What about you, Mark?
0:35:06 > 0:35:09Feeling confident?
0:35:09 > 0:35:12Yes, yes, yes, of course I am.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14He's got to say that.
0:35:14 > 0:35:18- Otherwise we'll see him outside and sort him out(!)- Poor Mark.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20He's always getting duffed up.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24Anyway, first up though, is the Charlotte Rhead vase. Here it comes.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27Lot 231 is a 1930s crown three-handled vase,
0:35:27 > 0:35:29possibly by Charlotte Rhead.
0:35:29 > 0:35:33Can we say £30 for that? £30 to start me.
0:35:33 > 0:35:3830 I see on my far right, 30. There is a starting bid at 30.
0:35:38 > 0:35:39Can I see 5 anywhere?
0:35:39 > 0:35:44- It's at £30, then.- Go on.- £30 and I'm selling last time at 30 only.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46£30.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49Not good, that. -£10.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Look out for the chain set.
0:35:51 > 0:35:56Lot 232 is the rustic chain companion set.
0:35:56 > 0:35:57Bids start me here at £10.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00£10 I have.
0:36:00 > 0:36:0512, 15, 18, 20, 22, 25, 28.
0:36:05 > 0:36:09Lady's bid at 28, standing by the door at 28. And selling at 28.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12All done at 28 for the last time.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16- Yes!- £28, plus £8. Well done.
0:36:16 > 0:36:17Now, the Tiffany card case.
0:36:17 > 0:36:21Lot 233 is a silver card case by Tiffany.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Bids start me here at £22, £25.
0:36:24 > 0:36:3025 is bid. 28, 30, £32 now.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33At £32, I'm selling now at £32.
0:36:33 > 0:36:38- All done at 32.- £32.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41You're -£6 on that.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44Overall, I make you on -£8.
0:36:44 > 0:36:45What do you think?
0:36:45 > 0:36:50- Might as well, might as well. We're down.- Yeah.
0:36:50 > 0:36:55-£8 is not a big minus score, you know.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58- What do you reckon, Dave? - Yeah, we'll go for it.- Yeah?
0:36:58 > 0:37:01Yeah. If it makes a profit, we could be in profit. Even if we only get a quid.
0:37:01 > 0:37:05- Yes.- Yes, we'll go for it.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09OK, we're going for the bonus buy and here comes the fire extinguisher.
0:37:09 > 0:37:14Lot 237 is a 1930's chrome motorbike fire extinguisher.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16There it is. £10 for that if you will.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19£10 for it.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21- 5 then to start off?- Oh!
0:37:21 > 0:37:23- Oh no, come on.- At £5?
0:37:23 > 0:37:25£5, thank you. Seated at 5
0:37:25 > 0:37:308 now. It's £8, lady standing at 8 and I'm selling at £8 only.
0:37:30 > 0:37:31At £8, all done.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34- Oh my God!- £8.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37Well, it extinguished the auction.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39I'm afraid that's -£17.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41Oh, well.
0:37:41 > 0:37:45By anybody's money, it's -£17.
0:37:45 > 0:37:50Plus the -8 means you're -25.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52That could be a winning score, though. Don't despair.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55- Well, we don't.- You don't.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57No, we don't. We never despair.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00Don't tell the Blues anything either.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03- Won't say a word.- Well done, boys.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13- Now, do you know how the Reds got on?- No.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15- No.- You don't? - No.- No.- They didn't tell you?- No.
0:38:15 > 0:38:20- No.- Good. Lovely. How are you feeling, by the way? All right?
0:38:20 > 0:38:21Yeah, I was.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23What do you mean you was?
0:38:23 > 0:38:27Well, I was but seeing everyone's faces I'm a bit nervous now.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29- Are you?- I was really confident.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31- What about you, Joanie?- Excited.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34- You're excited?- Yes.- I trust you.
0:38:34 > 0:38:38That's the spirit. The first item up is the posset warmer. Here it comes.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Lot 253, is a pewter posset warmer.
0:38:41 > 0:38:45Bids start me here at £30 for it.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48£30 is bid. At £30, can I say 5?
0:38:48 > 0:38:52It's at £30. All done. Perfect for keeping your posset warm.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54Oh, God!
0:38:54 > 0:38:56£30 it is then. I'm selling at 30.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59Last time.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03£30. So it's -105.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06- That's not good, is it? - No. Here comes the cream jug.
0:39:06 > 0:39:11Lot 254 is a 1922 silver cream jug. Bids start me here at 35, 40.
0:39:11 > 0:39:15£45 is bid. 50, 55.
0:39:15 > 0:39:1760 now. I'm out at £60.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20At £60 and I'm selling at £60.
0:39:20 > 0:39:24It's in the room at 60. Selling now at £60. All done.
0:39:24 > 0:39:29Good. £60, better than estimate, but I'm afraid still -£25.
0:39:29 > 0:39:35Lot 225 is a late-Victorian oak-panel seated hall chair.
0:39:35 > 0:39:39Start me at 20 on this one if you will. £20 for it. £20 for the chair.
0:39:39 > 0:39:44£10 then if it helps. £10, thank you. £10 only and I'm selling at 10.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46Any more? 12 now. 15.
0:39:46 > 0:39:5018. 20. £20. Any more?
0:39:50 > 0:39:56It's at £20 and selling. Lady's bid seated at 20 and selling now at £20.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59He is selling at £20, you are -8 on that.
0:39:59 > 0:40:03Overall you are -138.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05- It's a whopper.- It is.
0:40:07 > 0:40:11It's whopping up there, I'm afraid. What do you think about this mahogany bowl?
0:40:11 > 0:40:13- I'm going to have it. - It will be better.
0:40:13 > 0:40:17- Are you going to bite his arm off for that?- We'd better go with that.
0:40:17 > 0:40:18I don't blame you. £40.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20You are definitely going with that?
0:40:20 > 0:40:22Here comes the mahogany bowl.
0:40:22 > 0:40:27Lot 259, early-1920s mahogany bowl of Campana form.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30Bids start me here at £35.
0:40:30 > 0:40:34It's on commission at £35. 40, 45.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37At £50. It's on my left.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40I'm selling at 50. At £50, all done.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42At £50 and selling.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44For the last time at 50.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46Well done.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49- The right way.- It's fair enough.
0:40:49 > 0:40:53That makes your score 128.
0:40:53 > 0:41:01I'm afraid it's losses but £128, it could be a winning score. Don't talk to the Reds.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04We will find out what happens in a sec.
0:41:11 > 0:41:16Some days is good days and some days is bad days.
0:41:16 > 0:41:20Today, well, it's too close to count, isn't it?
0:41:20 > 0:41:23- Been talking to one another?- No.
0:41:23 > 0:41:27You haven't. There's a sucking great gap between you, I have to say.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30Somebody has to be the runner up, right?
0:41:30 > 0:41:33With some enormous losses, the runners-up today are the blues.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35Oh, dear.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37£128 worth of losses.
0:41:37 > 0:41:43The only ray on the horizon of hope happened to be your mahogany bowl,
0:41:43 > 0:41:46which was a well-found bonus buy that made a £10 profit.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48- It was an achievement.- It was.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50Do you all still love each other?
0:41:50 > 0:41:55- Absolutely.- As much as you loved each other before you went shopping.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58- More.- Says the man.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00You've been great fun, thank you so much for joining us.
0:42:00 > 0:42:06The victors today, by only losing £25, is you guys.
0:42:06 > 0:42:11Mark found the rustic companion set which made a cool £8.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14Otherwise it wasn't much cop, was it?
0:42:14 > 0:42:16No. And the bonus buy...
0:42:19 > 0:42:22The fire extinguisher left a bit to be desired.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25- It crashed in flames. - It didn't put anything out, did it?
0:42:25 > 0:42:27Not at all.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30- That's what you predicted.- Yeah. - Are you a happy man, Phil?
0:42:30 > 0:42:33I would have been if that Tiffany had have sold better.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35There you go, you can't have everything.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38You've had a great day, anyway. We've loved having you on.
0:42:38 > 0:42:42- Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?- Yes!
