0:00:04 > 0:00:08Ah, welcome, fellow agents.
0:00:08 > 0:00:13My informants tell me that we've got a couple of teams inside here.
0:00:13 > 0:00:17Good men and women, young sporty types.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20I'll sniff 'em out and give you the lowdown.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hello and welcome to Alexandra Palace.
0:00:52 > 0:00:57Somewhere out there in this throng of people are our teams,
0:00:57 > 0:01:00longing to grab their fistful of cash.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Their task is to spend £300 in an hour,
0:01:02 > 0:01:07finding three objects which they'll then cart off to auction
0:01:07 > 0:01:11and the team that makes the most profit wins.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Now that sounds quite straightforward, doesn't it?
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Well, you ain't seen nothing yet.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Let's go bargain hunting!
0:01:26 > 0:01:30Today for your delectation and entertainment
0:01:30 > 0:01:36what better thing to get the old ticker racing than an old fashioned battle between the sexes?
0:01:36 > 0:01:40For the Reds, we've got David and Matthew
0:01:40 > 0:01:43and for the Blues we've got Michelle and Zena.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44Welcome.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Strictly speaking, boys, it should be ladies first
0:01:47 > 0:01:51so are you going to be gentlemanly and let the ladies win today?
0:01:51 > 0:01:53We're going to very politely let them lose.
0:01:53 > 0:01:58Ah, a very well-considered answer, if you don't mind my saying so.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01So how did you two get to know each other?
0:02:01 > 0:02:06We've known each other since we were children. We went to school together.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08- Did you?- And now we work together.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- Working at what? - We write children's books.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15We write a series of children's books, just happen to have a couple here.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18That was a very smooth move there, I must say.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22- About a naughty boy called Yuck.- Yes.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- And...- We wrote another series.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- We write lots of books. - You do write lots of books.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32- Well, that's amazing. Here we've got Yuck's Amazing Underpants.- Yeah.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35What was your inspiration for Yuck?
0:02:35 > 0:02:39Well, I used to like doing some yucky things when I was a child.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42I once had an experiment to see just how yucky
0:02:42 > 0:02:47I could make my socks, so I wore them for six weeks
0:02:47 > 0:02:51- and by the end of it they were a little bit crusty and smelly. - Bit of gorgonzola.
0:02:51 > 0:02:57- Bit of gorgonzola, bit of camembert. - Oh, yeah. Now, David,
0:02:57 > 0:03:01- what do you collect?- I collect books, first edition books.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05I kind of fell into it by finding out that I owned a book that was worth quite a bit of money.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08It was a first edition Harry Potter.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- Gosh.- That was worth £12,000.- Never?
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- Is that what one's worth?- Yeah.
0:03:13 > 0:03:19And I sort of did a bit more wheeling and dealing thereafter with different editions.
0:03:19 > 0:03:24Apart from writing books, collecting books, talking all about books,
0:03:24 > 0:03:27what do you like to get up to in your spare time?
0:03:27 > 0:03:33If I'm not writing, I like to get as far away from it as possible and go fly fishing.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36You also have a fondness for maggots, don't you?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Yeah, this is on the yucky theme, when I was a yucky boy.
0:03:39 > 0:03:40- Yes.- And I went fishing.
0:03:40 > 0:03:46For a dare, I basically ate the bait which ended up as a maggot sandwich.
0:03:46 > 0:03:51Hope our lunchtime viewers today are enjoying that little piece, as you've upset half the nation.
0:03:51 > 0:03:56Thank you, boys. Now, girls, so what's the connection and how do you two know each other?
0:03:56 > 0:03:59We met nine years ago when we worked together at the Edinburgh Festival
0:03:59 > 0:04:03and we enjoyed that so much that we decided to set up our own company
0:04:03 > 0:04:07and for the last five years, we've been running the smallest theatre in London.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- You never have.- We have. - And where is this theatre?
0:04:10 > 0:04:15- It's in Camden.- Now tell me about starting up with 1p.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19We started our business with 1p and we opened a business bank account with that
0:04:19 > 0:04:24and we decided that we would never get into debt and that we would always be thrifty...
0:04:24 > 0:04:29- Mmm-hmm.- Which has meant that we've been more successful than many High Street banks...
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- Most of the international banks. - And many popular businesses.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35So Michelle, have you got any weaknesses, darling?
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Yeah, I like anything blue and anything with a bird on it
0:04:38 > 0:04:44and I'm also partial to copies of Catch 22, which is my favourite book and I'm aiming to collect 22 copies.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48So far, I've got eight. I'm hoping for a first edition, like David.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Yes. Well, we all hope for one like that. Zena, what do you collect?
0:04:52 > 0:04:57I like '50s - '70s teapot collections and...
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- Mixing bowls? - Yes, mixing bowls.- Sugar bowls?- Yes.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Lovely. Pyrex?
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- Yes. Oh, I love Pyrex.- I love Pyrex.
0:05:05 > 0:05:11Good, well I think we're going to have a very interesting programme today. This is now the money moment.
0:05:11 > 0:05:12There's your £300.
0:05:12 > 0:05:18- Thank you.- You know the rules, your experts await and off you go, and very, very, very good luck.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Quite like a maggot sandwich myself.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25Time to meet our men on the inside.
0:05:25 > 0:05:30Heading the Reds with fabulous form and an eye for detail, it's Philip Serrell.
0:05:33 > 0:05:40Smooth and sweet talking, the Blues benefit from the eyes and ears of David Barby.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Things like that, that copper pot.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Oh, here's a nice bit of treen.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Is the same sort of deal where it's all modern stuff.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55What are you particularly interested in yourselves?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57I quite like 1950s style.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01- We want something a bit ridiculous. - You want something a bit ridiculous?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- Well, something that people will remember.- You got me.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- You like animals, don't you?- Yes.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Well, come on, Michelle, let me show you this.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10Right, it's this gentleman here.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Now is there anything here that really takes your fancy?
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- This is what I...- An owl! - Exactly. Now what do you think?
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- Oh, I do like an owl. - Right in the middle there.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- What's it for? - Well, this is to put papers in.
0:06:23 > 0:06:28If you were a lady of quality you would have put your papers in here and letters that you'd written
0:06:28 > 0:06:33and letters that you wanted to write or possibly half written and it would be contained in here.
0:06:33 > 0:06:39- Does one of you want to handle it? - I've never seen anything like it before so that might be a good thing.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42The only thing is, if you went round a stately home you might
0:06:42 > 0:06:45have seen something like this on a dressing or writing table.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Would the Queen use something like that?
0:06:47 > 0:06:49I think it's of her quality, yes.
0:06:49 > 0:06:54- Every single section of silver, you see the mark there? - Has a hallmark.
0:06:54 > 0:07:00Each piece is in lovely condition and every piece is hallmarked.
0:07:00 > 0:07:05It's up to you. Don't feel obliged just because it's an object that I like.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09I recognise him from television and I hope he's going to buy it.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14My main consideration is that it looks so bright and shiny.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Both of you like it. I know you like it because of the owl.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Try and negotiate. If you can get it for £90 I shall be delighted.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26- It's certainly got to come down lower than the £145.- Oh, yeah.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30- All right. Start low.- Start low.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31Would you do this for a monkey?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- I'd do it for a 100.- 80?
0:07:34 > 0:07:36No. That is the best, love, sorry.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- 100 is the best? - £100, yeah.- Ooh.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- Try for 95.- 95?
0:07:42 > 0:07:46Go on, then. 95, then.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- Thank you very much.- OK. Thank you.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52A monkey, Zena? We're not at London Zoo.
0:07:52 > 0:07:57- £95 it is.- Oh, brilliant. - That's yours.- Thank you very much.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59That little toast rack there.
0:07:59 > 0:08:05- Oh, yeah.- Come on, let's go and have a look then.- Nice.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06It's over there behind a ladder.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Have you got more of these?
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- I've got a set in a box. - Can I have a look please? - How many in a set?
0:08:11 > 0:08:15- Thank you. When you're holding silver...- Yeah.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Right, just take that in your hand.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Go on. Just flex the rim.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23- Silver's a very soft metal. - Yeah.- Yes, very.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27- Can you feel how soft that is? - Yeah.- How thin a gauge that is? - Yeah.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Is that silver plated or silver?
0:08:29 > 0:08:32No, this is silver. If you look just there, you can see a hallmark.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36These were assayed, it's Birmingham, 1905. £145.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- I think at auction they're going to make £60 to £90, OK?- OK.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43- Ask him if he can help us on price. Are you happy to do that?- Yep.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47- Yeah.- Excuse me, what's the very best you can do on this for us?
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- You've got them for 145. - I can do 'em for 90.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51- £90?- Yeah.
0:08:51 > 0:08:56For me that's the top end of our estimate but I still think you know... .
0:08:56 > 0:08:58At an auction we might find someone.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03Auctions are just bizarre things and I think they're quite nice quality.
0:09:03 > 0:09:08- So do you want to buy them? - We, we're going to go for them. - Right.
0:09:08 > 0:09:13First purchase for the Reds and they spent a healthy £90.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18So it's plastic.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- Yeah.- Genuine.- It's nice. It looks quite Ikea-ish, but,
0:09:21 > 0:09:24do you know what I mean? You could see it in a modern house.
0:09:24 > 0:09:29- Yeah.- Yeah. What do you think? - Well, if it was £2, for example, we could make a profit on that.
0:09:29 > 0:09:37- I think so.- This stand here is all predominantly 1950s and it's all very good quality.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41- It's style, you're not going to get that for £2.- No.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43I think we should continue looking.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46OK, yes. We can bear it in mind.
0:09:46 > 0:09:51Quite right, David, a firm hand there with those Blues.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53- That's lovely.- Yeah. - That's horrible.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Yeah.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Now are you standing by for a visual treat?
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Well, if you are, you have to put your spectacles on because it's quite small.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06What do you think about that?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Well, it is what you call an acquired taste.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Technically it's a brooch.
0:10:12 > 0:10:17On the back of the pin bar, you can just make out a tiny little mark
0:10:17 > 0:10:21and the triangular mark is a Paris discharge mark, next door to that is another
0:10:21 > 0:10:26little mark which I can't decipher which should be the maker's mark.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28It's got two little nuts on the back
0:10:28 > 0:10:36and those two nuts on the back secure this solid gold cast bust
0:10:36 > 0:10:43which is actually sitting, rather eccentrically, inside a frame made out of pieces of bamboo.
0:10:43 > 0:10:49But the central figure itself is cast in, stands in, relief.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52She's wearing a pointy cap and if you look carefully again,
0:10:52 > 0:10:56you can see that she's got a mask over her face.
0:10:56 > 0:11:01I reckon she's a harlequin, some kind of street player.
0:11:01 > 0:11:06In fact, she might be connected with the world of the music hall.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09But I guess her most endearing feature is her arm, held up
0:11:09 > 0:11:15like this she's just hanging, dangling, a freshwater pearl.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19This could be yours for £320.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Is that expensive?
0:11:21 > 0:11:23I don't think so.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28- Um, it's this, here.- Oh.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33It would tie in with our writing book.
0:11:33 > 0:11:40So this would be on a desk and it would give you all the elements that you need for writing.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43So you have the stamps, you rest the pens on there
0:11:43 > 0:11:46and then you've got red and then you've got blue ink.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50So it's a nice little piece, almost architectural.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54Almost like room furnishings with these two pillar drawers here.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57- HE WHISTLES - Do you like that?
0:11:57 > 0:11:59- No?- No, I'm not convinced.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03You probably wanted to look for something a bit more decorative?
0:12:03 > 0:12:07- Something a bit cheaper and a bit more decorative, I think.- OK.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09- Can we bear that in mind?- Certainly.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11- Yeah.- Because we may come back to this and say right,
0:12:11 > 0:12:15there's nothing else we can find, shall we go for that?
0:12:15 > 0:12:16- OK.- All right?
0:12:16 > 0:12:19You've got your work cut out for you there David.
0:12:19 > 0:12:26Still, keep looking. £205 and 40 minutes left to play with.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30- Chaps, you are book boys, aren't you?- Yes, we are.- Oh, that's nice.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34Operative Printers Assistants Society. Look at that, look.
0:12:34 > 0:12:35A piece of stained glass.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37- Do you think it's nice? - Yeah, it is.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Someone's got a little panel to fill or a space to...
0:12:40 > 0:12:45What you'd really want is two authors who would buy this and put it in their own home, wouldn't you?
0:12:45 > 0:12:50- Do you know any authors? - We might do.- Fancy that!
0:12:50 > 0:12:54Excuse me my dear, what's the best you can do on that for us?
0:12:54 > 0:12:55I'd do 50 on that.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59This is where this job gets really difficult. I think that's lovely...
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- You two think it's lovely. We'd all like to own it.- Yeah.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04We'd give 50 quid for it, right.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06I think it might make £30 to £50 in the auction.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10So not withstanding we all like it and love it, which is the one big issue,
0:13:10 > 0:13:12the other issue's price.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16And on the price issue you could buy it and lose 20 quid.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Yeah. So we have to buy it cheap.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Yeah, but you've still got to buy what you like, don't you?
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- Very much so.- And hope that other people like it as well.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Spot on. Could you hang onto it for about 30 minutes?
0:13:26 > 0:13:30Can't guarantee we'll have it but would you mind doing that for us?
0:13:30 > 0:13:32- No problem. - You're an absolute angel.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34- Thank you very, very much. - You're welcome.
0:13:34 > 0:13:42That's a tentative hold for the Reds. With £210 to spare, they can afford to be choosy.
0:13:47 > 0:13:52I like this cigar cutter... before the capstan.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- Oh, isn't that good? - It's a very slim cigar.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Well, you have those little panatellas, don't you?
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Oh, and that's the end where bits come out the bottom.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- Should we be promoting smoking? - Probably not.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08This is a collector's item, it's not promoting smoking.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10- Do you like that?- It's not bad.
0:14:10 > 0:14:15- You like a ship don't you? - I like nautical things.- Yeah.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19The young lady might be interested in that, sir, but not at that price.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22- No. I'll go for 75. - What do you reckon Zena?
0:14:22 > 0:14:25- I quite like it. Would you do it for 60?- No.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Maybe 65?
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Oh, they don't want much, do they?
0:14:30 > 0:14:33The ladies are going to have to start deciding very soon.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37I might just see if I can help them along a little.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43How are you getting on, have you bought three items?
0:14:43 > 0:14:45We've bought one item so far.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47What? You've only bought one item?!
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Zene, what are you doing here, girl?
0:14:49 > 0:14:51- We've got a few things in the pipeline.- Oh, yes.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54- How many things in the pipeline? Half a dozen?- Hang on a minute.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56- You've had 45 minutes.- Oh.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- You've only got another quarter of an hour.- We can go back.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01We're making this stall-holder sweat.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Think about your expert. You want to get moving!
0:15:04 > 0:15:06I think it's called exasperation.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09I think it's called making your mind up time.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11- Anyway, good luck.- Thank you.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Are you new to Bargain Hunt?
0:15:17 > 0:15:21A little bit tender, unsure about what's going on?
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Well, don't worry, stick with me, I'll explain everything.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28You see, I'm a presenter.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Ah, there you are.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36We've given our teams £300 apiece
0:15:36 > 0:15:38but they mustn't spend the whole lot.
0:15:38 > 0:15:43We want them to leave some leftover lolly for our distinguished experts
0:15:43 > 0:15:49to go and find that bonus buy which hopefully will boost their profits at auction. There you are.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Not that complicated, is it?
0:15:53 > 0:15:54What do you think of him?
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Come on then. Onward, onward, onward.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59- I'm going backwards. - I think you better buck up.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Someone's buckling under pressure.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05One item bought, two to find and 20 minutes to go.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09- We need to do what Phil said and find a mixed stall.- Yeah.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Ah, this looks like a decision.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14- How did you get on? - We got it for 45.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Oh, that's brilliant. Come on, we better go and get something else.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Are the girls any closer to making their minds up?
0:16:20 > 0:16:22- It's OK, he's there.- He's still here.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- Hello.- We're back.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29So did you say you could do this one for 60?
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- 65. - Oh, it was worth a try.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Might as well have a go, hey?
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Have a try. Do you like it?
0:16:36 > 0:16:38- Yes, please.- Let's take it.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40- Thanks. OK.- Well done, girls.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44£65 for the novelty cigar cutter.
0:16:49 > 0:16:54- What have you found, Phil? - Well, I'm trying to work out in my own mind whether I like that or not.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- Do you like it?- It's all right. What is it made of?
0:16:57 > 0:16:59I like it.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02It's kind of got a little bit of character.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06- I can't work out if it's cheap. - Well, it's brass, right, and it's arts and crafts,
0:17:06 > 0:17:10which is sort of the in vogue thing at the minute.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14I'm just trying to work out in my own mind whether it's 20 quid or 80 quid.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Maybe we could buy it for 20 quid.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- I don't know whose stall it is. Is this you, sir?- It is, yes.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22What's the very best you could do on this?
0:17:22 > 0:17:26- The best on it would be 45.- 45?- Yes.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29What do you think it is? Is it by anybody?
0:17:29 > 0:17:31I think it's arts and crafts,
0:17:31 > 0:17:38about 1900, and these are pomegranates.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Would 40 quid be any good?
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Ah, it's really nice. How much money have we spent, Phil?
0:17:43 > 0:17:46You've spent £135 but, I mean, money's not issue.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- We've got no time left so, yes or no?- Let's get it, let's get it.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53At last, decisive action.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56One brass tray for £40.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Gloves. A glove holder.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05What's special about it?
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Do you know anything about the Art Nouveau movement in Scotland?
0:18:08 > 0:18:10- Rennie Mackintosh.- Exactly.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14So we're looking at the end of the 19th, beginning of the 20th Century.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Now if you look at that,
0:18:16 > 0:18:21it's all done by hand and it's in that style of elongated flower heads,
0:18:21 > 0:18:25it's very similar to the designs you would have seen in Miss Cranston's Tearooms.
0:18:25 > 0:18:30- You're not just buying a glove holder, you're buying a work of art.- Yes.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Just something a little bit unusual.
0:18:33 > 0:18:39It's nice and there's something quite modern about it as well in that it looks quite organic and quite crafty.
0:18:39 > 0:18:44That's right. I think somebody's going to actually mount this and put it on the wall as a picture.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48If you're interested in textiles. It's unusual to have textiles to come up in the show
0:18:48 > 0:18:53and if we can get it at a reasonable price, I would advise you to go for it.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55I quite like a bit of textile.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- You do.- Zena's got a sewing machine, I've got knitting needles.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Right, well there we are. Look, it's £50.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04- I will have a word with the dealer to see if I can get it down slightly.- OK.- OK.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- Meantime, have a chat.- Thank you.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- What do you reckon then? - I don't like it.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12What don't you like? Do you think you could make it?
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Um, yeah.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16On a sewing machine or by hand?
0:19:16 > 0:19:18- By hand. - What would you pay for it,
0:19:18 > 0:19:22if he can get the price down, certainly not 50...
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Right, come on girls, guess what?
0:19:24 > 0:19:26- How much?- I got it down to £25.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- Half price.- Now do we go for it?
0:19:29 > 0:19:32I like it. Zena's the one who needs to decide, I think.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36I'm not so keen but I'm happy to go with it. I think if you got it down to half price...
0:19:36 > 0:19:42Right. You either go for this or you go for the ink stand which is very, very pricey.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43This.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46OK. Oh, hallelujah!
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Hallelujah, indeed!
0:19:48 > 0:19:52And just in the nick, as time is up.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Let's recap on what the Reds bought.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57The Reds picked up the Birmingham silver gilt goblets
0:19:57 > 0:20:00for a nice round £90.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04£45 bought the stained glass lead panel
0:20:04 > 0:20:08and finally, for £40, the brass tray.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16- Matthew and David, did you have a good time shopping? - Very good.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- Which is your favourite piece, Matthew?- The stained glass.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23- What about you David?- The silver goblets.- Silver goblets favourites.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27- Which will make most profit? - Stained glass.- You're obsessed.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Probably will be the stained glass.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33Will it? Well, you spent a perfectly respectable £175.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37- I'd like £125 of leftover lolly. There you go, Philip Serrell.- Yeah.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39You've had fun with these guys?
0:20:39 > 0:20:43Having spent all day with them, I'm going to buy a lighthouse or a ladder.
0:20:43 > 0:20:48- I've been talking to them like that all day long.- What are you going to do with your 125?
0:20:48 > 0:20:51It's either a ladder or a lighthouse to get me up there with them.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Well, good luck with that, Phil.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Lot's of clues there. Let's remind ourselves what the Blues bought.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01The ladies kicked the day off with the silver and oak
0:21:01 > 0:21:06desk folder and despite offering a monkey, they handed over £95.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10Next up they took a while to decide, but for £65
0:21:10 > 0:21:14the Blue team acquired one novelty cigar cutter.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18And finally, for £25, a beautifully embroidered
0:21:18 > 0:21:21linen Glaswegian glove pocket.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Just what you need.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- So girls, did you have a good time? - Really good.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30- With the shopping? - Fantastic, thank you.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Which is your favourite, Zene?
0:21:32 > 0:21:37- I like the nautical-themed cigar cutter.- That's your favourite?
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- Yeah.- Michelle, what's your favourite, darling?
0:21:40 > 0:21:45I'm quite keen on the gloves case, the nice bit of handmade, beautiful craft.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Which piece is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Possibly the silver folder.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53If it doesn't, we'll melt it down.
0:21:53 > 0:21:59- But you're agreed that the silver folder is your prediction for the biggest profit?- Probably.
0:21:59 > 0:22:00That's confident, I love it(!)
0:22:00 > 0:22:05Anyway, you spent £185, I'd like £115 of leftover lolly, please.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07- Thank you very much. David. - Thank you, sir.
0:22:07 > 0:22:12- There, that's what you like to do. - Lot of money, isn't it?- You like to grab it.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Big old fair out there, rather good fun, I thought.
0:22:14 > 0:22:19Yes, but two contestants with such diverse interests,
0:22:19 > 0:22:21it was difficult to pinpoint any particular piece.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25- But they were quite determined. - Were they? Well, that's good.
0:22:25 > 0:22:30- Now to find an excellent bonus buy with which to boost their profits - They're very keen on names.
0:22:30 > 0:22:35- Are they?- Very keen on names, so I'm going after a big name item.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38All right. Well, good luck.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Well, after the cut and thrust of all this buying,
0:22:41 > 0:22:45I'm going to head off somewhere incredibly refined.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50If you want to fill your cultural boots,
0:22:50 > 0:22:55where better to head than upmarket South Kensington, London?
0:22:55 > 0:22:59Lined with some of London's most prestigious museums,
0:22:59 > 0:23:02a casual stroll down Exhibition Road
0:23:02 > 0:23:05leads you inevitably to the Victoria and Albert Museum,
0:23:05 > 0:23:07which is where I'm heading today.
0:23:08 > 0:23:14The V&A welcomes over 2 million visitors a year through its doors
0:23:14 > 0:23:19and is arguably the world's greatest museum of art and design.
0:23:19 > 0:23:26It houses over 17,500 sculptures and 10,500 oil paintings.
0:23:26 > 0:23:31The museum has been in existence since 1852
0:23:31 > 0:23:34and at its present location since 1857.
0:23:34 > 0:23:40There are 7 miles of galleries covering 3 acres of land.
0:23:43 > 0:23:48The question is, how do you fill all these corridors with all these exhibits?
0:23:48 > 0:23:52The answer is, with generous bequests,
0:23:52 > 0:23:57in part, from benefactors like Constantine Alexander Ionides.
0:23:58 > 0:24:04This legacy, comprising 1,158 pictures, drawings,
0:24:04 > 0:24:09prints and old masters, came to the museum in 1901,
0:24:09 > 0:24:16and is it the collection of one wealthy Anglo-Greek art-loving shipping family.
0:24:16 > 0:24:23The Constantine Alexander Ionides collection is named after the man who, for the benefit of the nation,
0:24:23 > 0:24:26bequeathed his entire collection to the museum.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33And what a stunning collection it is.
0:24:33 > 0:24:38Ionides was specific as to how his bequest was to be treated.
0:24:38 > 0:24:43He wanted it to stay all together, he didn't want any pieces to go out on loan and he would have
0:24:43 > 0:24:48particularly liked this two tier arrangement of hanging the paintings
0:24:48 > 0:24:52because it was just like it would have looked in his home.
0:24:52 > 0:24:58He also wanted these pictures to be enjoyed and available to students
0:24:58 > 0:25:03and at the time, this picture was cutting edge British contemporary art.
0:25:03 > 0:25:08This masterpiece is by Sir Edward Burne-Jones and, interestingly,
0:25:08 > 0:25:13Ionides knew all four of the figures that you see in the picture.
0:25:13 > 0:25:18In fact, his cousin, Mary, this girl on the left,
0:25:18 > 0:25:21was having a passionate affair with Burne-Jones at the time
0:25:21 > 0:25:23that the picture was painted.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27It's a pre-Raphaelite picture, but what do you like about it?
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Well, the composition is fascinating, isn't it?
0:25:30 > 0:25:35It oozes medievalism which is what the pre-Raphaelites were steeped in,
0:25:35 > 0:25:40but what I rather like is the rather geometric forms of this mill building in the background.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Just look at the outline of those buildings.
0:25:43 > 0:25:48That could be Corbusier in the early part of the 20th Century.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51The focal point of the picture are, of course, these women.
0:25:51 > 0:25:57They're gorgeous, they're clad in exotic flowing robes,
0:25:57 > 0:26:01which give the picture such textural and tonal quality.
0:26:01 > 0:26:08But Burne-Jones didn't just do paintings, he was truly a polymath of the applied arts, too.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12He designed jewellery, he designed ceramics, he designed textiles,
0:26:12 > 0:26:20including tapestries and, believe it or not, he was responsible for the decoration on this grand piano.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Amazing, isn't it?
0:26:22 > 0:26:26You've got that salon, which is what the Ionides family had,
0:26:26 > 0:26:30and they wanted just the decorated object to fit in.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32And this is it.
0:26:32 > 0:26:38The big question today is, what is going to be IT for our teams over at the auction?
0:26:40 > 0:26:44I've come to Bellmans Auctioneers and Valuers in West Sussex
0:26:44 > 0:26:48to meet our auctioneer for today, Jonathan Pratt.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54- Morning, Tim.- Morning. Our Red team, Matthew, David and Philip Serrell,
0:26:54 > 0:26:58their first item are these six little jokers in a case.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Hallmarked silver, 1905 by the Adie brothers.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05Quite nicely presented with gilt bowls, what can you say more than that, really?
0:27:05 > 0:27:07- For the cure, presumably. - Absolutely.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11- A saleable item I guess.- They're nicely presented and there are six.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13- £70 to £100.- Brilliant. £90 paid.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17Next is rather an unusual object, isn't it, this stained glass panel?
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Well, I mean, I quite like this sort of decorative glasswork.
0:27:20 > 0:27:25Obviously it's got a limited appeal but there's a lot of work that goes
0:27:25 > 0:27:28into it and you don't get that sort of thing today really.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Certainly not just in your office, would you?
0:27:31 > 0:27:35No. And it's a sort of arts and craftsy look, too, isn't it, really?
0:27:35 > 0:27:37I think it's rather a handsome panel.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Philip Serrell found it, £45 he paid, what's your estimate?
0:27:40 > 0:27:44- Probably between £20 and £40 for it. - Difficult to value, though, frankly.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Now, the rectangular arts and crafts tray.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Limited appeal, I suppose, in some respects,
0:27:49 > 0:27:53people don't want to clean it but it's decorative and functional.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57You could have your tea in front of the telly on it I suppose.
0:27:57 > 0:27:58£50 to £80.
0:27:58 > 0:27:59Very good. £40 paid.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03So Philip's been quite smart with finding that and in case they don't do well,
0:28:03 > 0:28:07they're going to need the bonus buy so let's go and have a look at it.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Well, chaps, you feeling fit?
0:28:10 > 0:28:12- Very good.- Yeah.
0:28:12 > 0:28:17Now you gave Philip Serrell £125, yes? You spent £175.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21- Has he spent all of your £125? - Don't look at me like that. No, he has not.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24- Look at that.- Gosh.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27- Wow.- It's a serpentine lighthouse,
0:28:27 > 0:28:30which I thought resembled you two, really.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33- What, David being particularly lofty?- Yeah.- Yes.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36- How much did you pay for it?- £45. - £45.- That's not bad.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38What made you buy it?
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Do you know what chiefly made me buy it?
0:28:40 > 0:28:44I had one of these three days before we did the filming
0:28:44 > 0:28:51that was that bad that made £850 and I thought if that made £850 and this was 45 quid I, you know.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53But they are quite collectable.
0:28:53 > 0:28:57- Yeah, that's true.- It's all about colour and the rest of it but
0:28:57 > 0:29:00I think that's going to make £40 to £60.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02- You know how much he paid now, right? £45.- Yeah.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05In his opinion, there's a prediction of profit,
0:29:05 > 0:29:09some of these things, the bigger ones, make big amounts of money.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11There is some profit in this in your opinion?
0:29:11 > 0:29:15- I honestly think there's profit. - Just stay with that thought, boys.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19Because for the viewers at home, we're going to show this lamp to the auctioneer
0:29:19 > 0:29:20and see what he thinks.
0:29:20 > 0:29:24So is this a beacon for you?
0:29:24 > 0:29:26- Beacon of hope?- Yes.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29Well, we have sold quite a lot of this sort of thing in the last
0:29:29 > 0:29:31couple of years. We had a good collection of it.
0:29:31 > 0:29:37- Relatively speaking, I think it's reasonably modern, made in the last 50 years.- Yes.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41This bit of chicken wire was possibly not intentionally there,
0:29:41 > 0:29:44it's just there to prop the little hat up.
0:29:44 > 0:29:45So what do you think was there?
0:29:45 > 0:29:48You would have had a glass sleeve that sat in there,
0:29:48 > 0:29:54replacing that and then that would have perched on top nicely and then you wouldn't have had this sort of...
0:29:54 > 0:29:57- Yes.- ..bit of metal grille in there.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59That could quite easily be replaced, couldn't it?
0:29:59 > 0:30:02If you're dedicated enough to do it, absolutely.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06It's an incredibly well-made object.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09- Oh, absolutely. - And I think rather fun.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12- Absolutely, yes. - What's your estimate?- £30 to £50.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Brilliant, £45 paid.
0:30:14 > 0:30:20That's it for the Reds, now for the Blues, Zena and Michelle.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24The silver and oak encrusted blotter.
0:30:24 > 0:30:28Really sort of captures the sort of style of the late 19th century, early 20th century.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32- I like that quite a lot, actually. - Good. How much do you like it?
0:30:32 > 0:30:35I've said £80 to £120.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39Well, that's brilliant. £95 they paid so that stands a real chance.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43- What about the cigar cutter? - Well, it's a German one, brass and tin.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46It's modelled on a ship's engine room telegraph,
0:30:46 > 0:30:49- so you'd pull the little knob back there.- Full steam ahead.
0:30:49 > 0:30:53- Exactly.- Yeah. But actually it's used for cutting cheroots.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56- It is really quite a novelty, I suppose.- Yes.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58How much do you think it's worth?
0:30:58 > 0:31:03- I think between £30 and £50 for it. - Is that all?- Mmm.- £65, they paid.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05The last item's bit of needlework.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08Quite nice stylised flower heads.
0:31:08 > 0:31:13Exactly. The style you can see is typical Scottish-inspired Charles Rennie Mackintosh sort of thing.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16Nobody would use it for gloves, they might frame it.
0:31:16 > 0:31:21- It's just a small collectable item, it doesn't really have any great function.- Mmm.
0:31:21 > 0:31:26- I think it's going to be limited in its appeal for that reason. - What's your estimate?
0:31:26 > 0:31:30- £20 to £40.- Brilliant. £25 they paid so that stands a good chance too.
0:31:30 > 0:31:34I mean, I think that's quite an intelligently bought trio,
0:31:34 > 0:31:39- they've all got something about them which is a bit different. - Yeah, I agree.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41It's not your standard object for Bargain Hunt.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45They've gone out there and they've looked quite carefully
0:31:45 > 0:31:50and they've got some fun items so I'm feeling pretty bullish about what's going to happen here.
0:31:50 > 0:31:56On the other hand, I could be wrong and they'll need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01Zena and Michelle, this is the bonus buy moment.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05- OK.- You gave David £115 of leftover lolly. Did he spend the lot?
0:32:05 > 0:32:07Well, Tim...
0:32:07 > 0:32:14- Well.- These are very keen on named things, branded goods and people, personalities,
0:32:14 > 0:32:17so I had to find something that fitted that bill
0:32:17 > 0:32:23so I have an Archibald Knox designed piece of pewter for Liberty.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27So you've got two very good names there, Archibald Knox and Liberty.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31Do you want to hold it? Don't drop it, it's a soft metal.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33- How much did you pay for it? - £100.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35- £100. - It's been said before.
0:32:35 > 0:32:40I want to ask you, Zena, what do you think about this thing yourself personally?
0:32:40 > 0:32:42How does it get you in the tummy?
0:32:42 > 0:32:47- Um, £100 gets me in the tummy. - Do you think it's too much? - What you've bought is quality.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49It's got a nice weight to it.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Michelle's more positive, I feel.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55I'm very practical. Look at this from its art point of view.
0:32:55 > 0:32:56- Yes.- And its style.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58So it is quite posh, then?
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Oh, yes, posh, yes.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03- You've got it, you've hit it in one. Poshe. Poshe.- I like posh.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06But you don't have to decide right now, you'll decide later.
0:33:06 > 0:33:11But for the viewers at home let's find out what the auctioneer thinks of David's dish.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15- There's a stellar object. - Yeah, that's superb.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Something to get your teeth into.
0:33:17 > 0:33:22Pewter cake tray, I'd like to call it, or a cake basket, I suppose.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25With honesty leaves, which are very much in the style of the period,
0:33:25 > 0:33:28late 19th Century.
0:33:28 > 0:33:32- Sort of signature of old Knox? - Absolutely. I think it would do quite well.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35- I've got high hopes for it. - What's your estimate on it?
0:33:35 > 0:33:37- £100 - £150. - Well, Barby will be delighted.
0:33:37 > 0:33:43£100 he paid for that so that stands a really good chance of making money for the bonus buy.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46The big question is, will the team go with this bonus buy?
0:33:46 > 0:33:49We'll find out later. Are you taking the auction?
0:33:49 > 0:33:51- I will be, yeah. - Ah, we're in safe hands.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03- So how are you feeling, chaps? - Good.- Pretty good, yes.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06Is it rather like a book launch for you, chaps,
0:34:06 > 0:34:09- a new publication coming out, you're full of confidence...- Yeah.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11- This is going really well. - Of course.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15- Is that the moment? Is that what it's like? - Yeah.- That's the moment.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17- Yes.- We're waiting, we're ready.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20And this is the trouble. It's the agony of waiting, the days to come
0:34:20 > 0:34:24to the auction from the shopping, you don't know what's coming up.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27- Just can't sleep.- Can't sleep.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29You know, you're giving the missus gyp.
0:34:29 > 0:34:30Do you have a prediction?
0:34:30 > 0:34:34- Do you feel confident? - We're hopeful.- We don't think we're going to do badly.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36You don't think you're going to do badly.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38That's a good way of starting out.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41First lot up is your goblets and here they come.
0:34:41 > 0:34:46Lot 1530a, a set of six silver spirit goblets by Adie Bros,
0:34:46 > 0:34:50Birmingham 1905 and I've got on the book £25 bid.
0:34:50 > 0:34:58- Ouch. - 35, 40, 45, 50, 55. £55 against you.
0:34:58 > 0:35:0160, back of the room now. 65?
0:35:01 > 0:35:0370, 75.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05£70 by the flowers then, at £70.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Do I see 5 anywhere else?
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Last chance. At £70...
0:35:10 > 0:35:13That's not, that's not too bad.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16That's minus 20 but disappointing.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18Anyway, here come the leaded glass.
0:35:18 > 0:35:221531a, stained and leaded glass panel depicting
0:35:22 > 0:35:27Operative Printers Assistants Society, 1899.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30I've got to start at £60, with me at £60.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32- Yes.- Hey, we're back even.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35£60, 65 and 70. £70. 5 and 80.
0:35:35 > 0:35:385 and 90.
0:35:38 > 0:35:39- 5, 100.- Hey, boys.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41£100 with me, still with me at £100.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44Do you want to bid 10? £100 with me on the book, still at £100.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48With me at £100, any further interest on £100. I'll sell at 100.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52All done, last chance, £100...
0:35:52 > 0:35:54- Hey.- I like that.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56£55 worth of profit, Serrell, that's good.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Now, the brass tray.
0:35:58 > 0:36:03So moving on to lot 1532a, an arts and crafts galleried tray.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06£35 bid with me, at £35, give me 40 now.
0:36:06 > 0:36:1338, 40, 45, 50. £50. 5, anyone?
0:36:13 > 0:36:15£50 against you then, at £50.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17At £50 then, at £50.
0:36:17 > 0:36:21- Yeah.- Any further interest at £50? I'll sell. Last chance. £50.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Done. That's another tenner, Phil, on your personal score.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26Well, that's £45.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29Now, I don't think I need to ask you whether you're going
0:36:29 > 0:36:32with the lighthouse or not, I think we should ask Phil if we should.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35I think we'll deaf that. I never liked that expert.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Now what are you going to do then?
0:36:37 > 0:36:41Are you going to go with the lighthouse? I mean, you're £45 up, that's very fair.
0:36:41 > 0:36:46You can bank the money or you can risk £45 on the granite lighthouse.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48What's it to be?
0:36:48 > 0:36:51I don't know. Maybe we do gamble.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54Chop-chop, then, are we going to go? Yes, or no?
0:36:54 > 0:36:58- No.- All right. We're not going with the bonus buy but here it comes.
0:36:58 > 0:37:03Moving on to lot 1535a, a turned serpentine lighthouse lamp.
0:37:03 > 0:37:08£20 to start me for the lighthouse lamp? At £20? £20, the lamp?
0:37:08 > 0:37:09Tenner then?
0:37:09 > 0:37:1210 is bid, thank you, at 10. At 10 pounds, looking for 12 now.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14At £10, by the wine at 10.
0:37:14 > 0:37:1712 with the lady. 15, sir?
0:37:17 > 0:37:21Shaking his head. At £12, with the lady behind, 15, he's gone,
0:37:21 > 0:37:25- 15. £15...- Wise call boys.
0:37:25 > 0:37:2818, new face. Do you want 20, sir?
0:37:28 > 0:37:31No, he doesn't. £18 it is then. Still £18.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34At £18 it is then, selling at £18.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36Minus £27. Bad luck, Phil.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38That was a run of luck that just couldn't go on.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41- It had to end somewhere. - So, you deserved your profits.
0:37:41 > 0:37:45It was a good shout not going for it. You are £45 up, which is fab.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47Just don't tell the Blues a thing, all right?
0:37:47 > 0:37:49- Right you are.- Mum.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06- So, you two naughties, have you been talking to those Reds?- No.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08You don't know how they got on?
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Super. You've not been talking to anybody?
0:38:10 > 0:38:13- I who know nothing. - First up is the blotter.
0:38:13 > 0:38:18Lot 1550a, an Edwardian oak and silver mounted desk folder
0:38:18 > 0:38:21of arts and crafts design.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23£60 I'm bid, at £60.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25At £60, I'll take 5 though.
0:38:25 > 0:38:31- £60. 65 waving at the back, by the flowers and 70. 75...- Come on.
0:38:31 > 0:38:3580, 85. He's got it now at £85, looking for 90. 90, anywhere else?
0:38:35 > 0:38:37At £85, it's going at £85.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40Oh, David, I'm disappointed at that.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42- Yes.- It's minus £10, but don't despair.
0:38:42 > 0:38:47Lot 1551a, early 20th Century German brass and tin cigar cutter.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50£50 with me, straight in at £50.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53Looking for 5 now. £50, 55 and 60.
0:38:53 > 0:38:58- 65 and 70. 75 and 80. 85 and 90.- Yes.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00£90 against you still, at £90.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02£90, are you still bidding?
0:39:02 > 0:39:05No. With £90. 5 anywhere else?
0:39:05 > 0:39:06£90 then, all done at £90.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Last chance. £90.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12Achtung!
0:39:12 > 0:39:15That's £25 on that, you are plus 15.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19Now girls, the glove packet.
0:39:19 > 0:39:221552a, Glasgow School embroidered glove pocket
0:39:22 > 0:39:28after Charles Rennie Mackintosh and again, 25 is bid with me. At £25.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31At £25, I'll take 28.
0:39:31 > 0:39:3428 and 30, 32 and 35.
0:39:34 > 0:39:3935 against you then. On the book at £35, commission bid at £35.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42Do I see 38? At £35 then and selling.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45All done, last chance, at £35.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48£35 there, another £10 profit, David, well done.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51You are £25 up.
0:39:51 > 0:39:52- It's amazing.- OK, £25 up.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55- Is this man a genius or is he a genius?- He's very good.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57- He's a genius, isn't he? - Astonishing.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59- She's very surprised. - Doubted me...
0:39:59 > 0:40:03Just a slight mishap on the blotter, which could have done much better.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05- Yeah. Disappointing.- But not bad.
0:40:05 > 0:40:06Two out of three profits, girls.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09So what are you going to do about this old basket?
0:40:09 > 0:40:12- This Knox Tudric basket? - I think we should go for it.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14- Do you fancy it? - I think we should go for it.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16- Yeah? No pressure. - It's cracking, yeah.- Yeah.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19We're going with the bonus buy, we're going with Mr Knox,
0:40:19 > 0:40:21and Mr Barby, here it comes.
0:40:21 > 0:40:28Lot 1555a, we have a Liberty & Co Tudric pewter cake basket.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32I've got £90 on the book, at £90, with me at £90. Looking for 5 now.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35£90 with me, at £90.
0:40:35 > 0:40:3795. 100, I'll take 5 if you like.
0:40:37 > 0:40:42And 10. 15 sir? £110 against you then, at £110.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45£110 and all done at £110.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48So, that is a £10 profit, David,
0:40:48 > 0:40:51well done on that, and overall you are plus £35.
0:40:51 > 0:40:55The big trick here is to not tell those great big Red boys anything at all. OK?
0:40:55 > 0:40:58- So don't tell the Reds a thing, right?- OK.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09Well, how exciting was that?
0:41:09 > 0:41:11It was absolutely brilliant today.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14I mean, smiles all round. This is unbelievable.
0:41:14 > 0:41:19Two teams of winners on Bargain Hunt today, it's just a question of scale
0:41:19 > 0:41:25of profit and the team with marginally less profits today
0:41:25 > 0:41:28are, of course, the Blues.
0:41:29 > 0:41:33Those boys faces, it's a wicked tease, I know.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35But you've done so well, girls.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39£35 of profits you girls made, which is super.
0:41:39 > 0:41:46You got £25 out of the programme and another tenner out of David's Knox egg basket.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51I thought you'd like that. £35, how do you feel about this, Zena,
0:41:51 > 0:41:54you were a bit nervy before the off weren't you, darling?
0:41:54 > 0:41:57I wasn't convinced about any of it, really.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59- No. Quite. But are you converted now?- Yes.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01- Are you a fan of Bargain Hunting? - Yes.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03You are really. What about you Michelle?
0:42:03 > 0:42:06I'm going to come to lots of auctions now.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08And well done David for your excellent contribution.
0:42:08 > 0:42:13- Now, £35. What are you going to do with that?- Spend it on gin, probably.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15Spend it on gin. Fair enough.
0:42:15 > 0:42:19- Well, have a good time. Now, the victors.- Yes. - Nearly got you there, didn't I?
0:42:19 > 0:42:23- Just a little bit worried, yeah. - You were pretty cocky that you had
0:42:23 > 0:42:25won today. You have won, which is brilliant.
0:42:25 > 0:42:29You won in part by rejecting the bonus buy...
0:42:29 > 0:42:34- Yeah.- But on the other hand, you can't be crabby with Philip because he did contribute £55 worth...
0:42:34 > 0:42:40- He's brilliant.- ..of profits off the stained glass panel which is jolly good. So you are £45 up, right?
0:42:40 > 0:42:42- Brilliant.- Thank you very much.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44What are you going to spend it on?
0:42:44 > 0:42:48If they're going to spend it on gin, we'll spend it on beer.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51- Join us soon for some more Bargain Hunting, yes?- Yes!
