0:00:02 > 0:00:05Today we're in the vast city of Glasgow
0:00:05 > 0:00:09in search of something of good age and character.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11No, not that!
0:00:11 > 0:00:14We're going bargain hunting!
0:00:36 > 0:00:40Coming up on the show, the reds seem to have questionable taste.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44I would not be having that in my house, no.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46- Just asking.- Yes, fair enough.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49But the blues can't even agree on their taste.
0:00:49 > 0:00:54- I think that proves that you're tasteless.- Does it? - Clearly beautiful. Yes.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57- So no fish and no fat two-headed horses.- No. Unfortunately not.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Pressure's on at the auction for the reds.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03- How are you feeling? - I'm looking forward to it.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07- What about you, Frank? - A little nervous, maybe.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10And the auction proves to be an eye-opener for the blues.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15We're at the Clydeside Antiques Centre in Glasgow,
0:01:15 > 0:01:21right in and amongst 25,000 square feet of collectables.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25Our Scottish teams will each get £300 and an hour to shop
0:01:25 > 0:01:28for three items they will then sell at auction,
0:01:28 > 0:01:30where they hope to make a profit.
0:01:30 > 0:01:35And any profits, they get to keep. Now there's a sobering thought.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37You naughty crew!
0:01:38 > 0:01:42All of this is going out of focus, you know. Let's meet the teams.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48So for the reds today, we've got happily married couple -
0:01:48 > 0:01:50well, at least they're happily married at the moment -
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Frank and Sylvia. Welcome.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57And for the blues, we've got wee Jerry and Heather.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Welcome to Bargain Hunt, chaps.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- Now, how long have you two been married?- Ten years.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- And how did you meet? - We met at a dance school.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Frank asked me to dance and it was dreadful.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11He just stood on my toes, kicked my ankles.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- Then what happened, Frank? - I went and got private lessons.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Asked her to dance again and it was OK.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20- Slow, slow...- Quick, quick, slow. - That's the fellow.- That's it.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- And before you knew where you were, you were in.- Uh-huh.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Now, Sylvia, you're pretty musical, darling?
0:02:25 > 0:02:29Yes, I love music. I sing with the City of Glasgow Chorus
0:02:29 > 0:02:33and I play oboe with the Lanarkshire Cecilian Orchestra.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36What do you collect, you two lovebirds?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Well, I collect silver spoons pre-1900
0:02:39 > 0:02:41- and...- Fossils.- ..fossils
0:02:41 > 0:02:43and poo.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46- And what?- Poo!
0:02:46 > 0:02:48- Poo?- Poo!
0:02:50 > 0:02:53That's nice, isn't it? That's a lump of poo, is it?
0:02:53 > 0:02:56They tell me it is. I hope it is cos I bought it as poo.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Dinosaur poo.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- Oh, it's a fossil.- It's a fossil.- I don't need rubber gloves.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03No, it's about 200 million years old.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- 200 million-year-old dinosaur poo. - Uh-huh.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Oh, that's fun, isn't it?
0:03:08 > 0:03:12You can have it back. There we go. On that happy note, I'll pass that back.
0:03:12 > 0:03:17Now, Heather, you've not got anything you want to show me in your pocket?
0:03:17 > 0:03:19- I don't, no, not today. - No, not today. Good.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- So how long have you two been together, then?- Eight years.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26- And how did you meet? - We met working for a bank.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28I started to work there a few years after Jerry
0:03:28 > 0:03:30and walked in the door one day
0:03:30 > 0:03:36and he obviously decided that he would pick me out of the crowd and we've been together ever since.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Jerry, what do you do? Are you still at the bank?
0:03:39 > 0:03:42No, I now work for one of the country's largest estate agents
0:03:42 > 0:03:44doing mortgage advice.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- So all the problems just now, not my fault.- No, quite.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51- Well, nobody's blaming you. - Thank you.- It's difficult.- It is.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53You also have a recent addition to your family.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56We have. We've got a six-month-old baby girl.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01- And what's she called?- Lily.- Lily! - Yes.- Wee Lily.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03- Little Lily, our little missy. - Your little missy.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07- And who has she joined?- She has joined Dylan and Adam and Niall,
0:04:07 > 0:04:09so she's number four.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12All these children, do you have any time to do anything else?
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Not very much but when I do find a spare minute,
0:04:15 > 0:04:18I've be lucky to be taken on by an agency in London,
0:04:18 > 0:04:22writing a teen horror novel called Soul Searchers.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24And what's Soul Searchers all about?
0:04:24 > 0:04:28It's about a teenage demon who comes down to earth.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30But he's quite a good guy, really.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32So what's going to make you such a brilliant team
0:04:32 > 0:04:35when it comes to hunting out those bargains?
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Well, we're quite competitive between each other.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- Are you going to fall out? Are we going to have a fight?- We'll try not.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46- You feel well qualified to take on the reds?- We'll give it a go.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- Yes, give them a run for their money.- This is fighting talk.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53- What fun. Now, £300 apiece. Here's your £300.- Thank you.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55This is the money moment.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57You know the rules, your experts await and off you go
0:04:57 > 0:04:59and very, very, very good luck.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Well, to give the teams a helping hand, we have two experts.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Let's hope they've got the stamina, what?
0:05:06 > 0:05:09'For the red team, fellow Scot Paul Laidlaw,
0:05:09 > 0:05:11'who knows when he's onto a winner.'
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Ooh, you little tinker. Well spotted.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17'And for the blues, from south of the border, Keith Baker,
0:05:17 > 0:05:19'who has expensive tastes.'
0:05:19 > 0:05:21£7,000 is a bit above our price
0:05:21 > 0:05:23but we can aspire to it.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26'The teams have only just started shopping
0:05:26 > 0:05:28'but the reds get stuck in straightaway
0:05:28 > 0:05:31'and have found something that's got their temperatures soaring.'
0:05:31 > 0:05:36- Is it working?- Yeah, it's a mercury thermometer. It's all there.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39It has been silvered. It is in a pewter-like alloy.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43It's a stylish object. Certainly strong art nouveau influence.
0:05:43 > 0:05:48- Yes.- But you'd want to get that for £20 and hope to sell it for 40.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52- That would tick the box, wouldn't it?- Yes.- It's on for 50.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54I like the shape. I like the fact it's a thermometer.
0:05:54 > 0:05:59I could park that next to my telephone in the hall or on my desk.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03It's a good-looking little ornament for the professional to have on his desk.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- What date is it?- About 1900.- Oh!
0:06:06 > 0:06:09But it's not unsightly, that, if the price is right.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13So, will we find out what the craic is? See if we can squeeze that down.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16'The reds are in agreement on the thermometer
0:06:16 > 0:06:20'but there doesn't seem to be as much harmony with the blues.'
0:06:20 > 0:06:24- What about this for a bizarre and whacky item?- No!
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- You're not having that fish at all, are you?- No.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Not seeing the fish at all.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33This, as you put it, flashy fish
0:06:33 > 0:06:36would've been made in Italy, almost certainly, for Merano...
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- That's got to be... - I mean, the island of Merano,
0:06:39 > 0:06:41so this would be a real touristy piece.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44I'm not seeing you're liking our fish, now.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49It's not... It's not unpleasant. I mean, the colours are lovely
0:06:49 > 0:06:53but it's not uncommon, it's more of a tourist pretty piece.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- Sorry to disappoint you.- I can see that on a few mantelpieces.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- Can you?- I can. - LAUGHTER
0:06:58 > 0:07:02There's probably too many mantelpieces with them on it, you see.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03That's the problem.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07'Keith thought he could smell something fishy.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10'Whilst they wait for a price on the thermometer,
0:07:10 > 0:07:13'the reds seem to be getting on like a house on fire.'
0:07:13 > 0:07:17- Paul, what's that there?- Ooh, you little tinker. Well spotted.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22It's an inkstand dish but what I like is it's attributed.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23It's got a name.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27And in this game, as on the high street when you're buying your jeans,
0:07:27 > 0:07:28a brand is all important.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Well, what's your first impression of that, you two?
0:07:32 > 0:07:35The detail - that's rather smart, isn't it?
0:07:35 > 0:07:40- What's it made of?- That is anodised brass, I would strongly suspect.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45It's a nice effect, rather elegant.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Rose, stylised.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Got its glass liner, fair enough, but here's the important bit.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53They attributed it to WMF.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57THE name in art nouveau metalwork coming out of the Continent
0:07:57 > 0:07:59late 19th, early 20th century.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03- Is it stamped?- It is marked.- Aye.
0:08:03 > 0:08:04It's spot-on.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08And if you were selling that, what would you expect to make?
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Well, with that name, and I've not looked at the price yet,
0:08:11 > 0:08:15by Wurttembergische Metallwarenfabrik...
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- THE name.- Absolutely.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20It's worth £30-50.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22We are asking...
0:08:23 > 0:08:24£50.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26- And do people collect these? - Absolutely.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28I like it. I mean, could I sell it to you?
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- I like it, yes.- I like that, yes. - I like it.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34That's a good response. I think we want to have a go at that.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- Yes.- But...- So... - Pounds, shillings and pence.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Can we make a profit? What's the price we're going to get it for?
0:08:40 > 0:08:44- I think you want to try and get it for £30.- Right.- Or less.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Or less. Or less. Or less.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48- I leave you to do the business. - I'll do it.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52I pity the man you're negotiating with. Good luck to him. Let's go.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56'So whilst Paul lets Frank loose on the dealers,
0:08:56 > 0:08:59'the blue team try to find some shared interests.'
0:08:59 > 0:09:02So after that horrible fish, what's your taste, then?
0:09:02 > 0:09:07- Sadly, nothing that we've seen at the moment.- Oh, dear!- Mm.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11'But what's this? Have the blues found something they all agree on?'
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- Ooh, look, it's covered in bugs. - Yes, they're grasshoppers.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Why I was drawn to it, although I knew it wasn't Lalique...
0:09:18 > 0:09:20- Have you heard of Lalique?- Yeah.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24He did a big vase with grasshoppers on grasses, just like this,
0:09:24 > 0:09:28- so I was drawn to the image, if you see what I mean.- Right.
0:09:28 > 0:09:33But it's actually quite nice but sadly it's got these chips on it.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37- Oh!- Ooh, yes.- And that will sort of kill it, really, commercially.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41'Oh, no! Maybe I spoke too soon.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44'Cracks and chips always devalue an item.'
0:09:44 > 0:09:49- Right, Paul. £25. Half price.- What do you think, Sylvia?- Very good.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52- Let's go for it.- I like your style. - Brilliant.- Well done you.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- Well done you! - Well, we'll wait and see.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58'The reds are getting along great guns as a team
0:09:58 > 0:10:02'but the cracks are already starting to show between the blues.'
0:10:03 > 0:10:05- You see the big cracks on the bottom?- Ah! Yes.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- It's what they call a star crack. - Yeah?
0:10:08 > 0:10:10If this was perfect, without this nasty crack...
0:10:10 > 0:10:13It looks as though there's a crack in that again.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- Again, a crack.- Yes.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19'Oh, dear! Now, what's happened to that thermometer?'
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- Guys, remember this little chap?- Ah! - I do.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25The price is now £25.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27- Half of where we started.- Uh-huh.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29I don't think it's a bad discount.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33The only thing that worries me still is the damage.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36The price, you think, reflects the damage?
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- I think at £25... - It could be sold at a profit?
0:10:39 > 0:10:44- If you were selling it? - I'd be selling it at 30-50.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48- Fine.- 20-40 on a bad day. I think it's there or thereabouts.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51But look, you guys are the bosses. What do you think?
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- We'll go for it. Yes, we do. - You could take a punt on that.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- Course we can.- Give it a go, then. Well done, guys.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- I'll go in there, make that a deal. - Please do.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04'Well, they're just sailing through this shopping lark.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07'Two buys down and plenty of time to search for number three.
0:11:07 > 0:11:12'I wonder if the blues have got over their creative differences yet?'
0:11:12 > 0:11:15The fact that there are three here and one up there,
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- it does somewhat confirm what I was saying...- There's too many.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20They're not terribly uncommon.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25- What about this?- It fits into your category of what you're looking for
0:11:25 > 0:11:31- but it's not commercial at auction. - So no fish and no fat two-headed horses.- Unfortunately not.
0:11:31 > 0:11:32- Shame.- We'd better crack on.
0:11:33 > 0:11:38'Not a phrase heard often on Bargain Hunt, it has to be said.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41'Now, I think I should go and see how those naughty reds are getting on.'
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- Are you enjoying it, Frank? - It's brilliant.- Is it?
0:11:45 > 0:11:46- Absolutely brilliant.- Good.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Have you had trouble with them? They've only been married ten years.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Just briefly recently.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55I think I might have influenced things.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59- Would you not have that in your house?- I would not be having that in my house, no.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02- Just asking.- Fair enough.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Let me tell you about the bonus buy.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09Any money not spent by the teams in the shop
0:12:09 > 0:12:10will be given to their expert
0:12:10 > 0:12:14who'll then find a mystery item which will be revealed later
0:12:14 > 0:12:15at the auction.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19Let's hope that this is not going to be a backward step.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25'Ah, back to the shopping and the reds only have one item to go.'
0:12:25 > 0:12:27What do we have here? A little cruet set.
0:12:27 > 0:12:33And we have pepperette, salt... There'd be a little liner there.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36You'd serve your salt via a spoon and...
0:12:36 > 0:12:40- Mustard.- Mustard. - Missing the mustard spoon.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Indeed. I think a generic spoon would do.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45You guys, enjoy the quality of the cutting in that glass.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47- In the glass.- Oh, yes.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- I think it's hand cut. - You are dead right.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54- Now, is there any damage to that? - There's a crack in the glass.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57I see it. It catches it if you get the right light.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- But that's sweetly cut, isn't it? - Yes.- Oh, aye, it is, yes.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04- And it is hand cut.- You can feel the sharpness of the cut.- Yes.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07It's a quality object. It wasn't inexpensive in its day.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Full of Victorian twee charm.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13I like it and I'm still not put off
0:13:13 > 0:13:16by that hairline that isn't immediately apparent.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- No, if you look at it... - We lost it there for a second.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23It's silver plate. It's on nickel, so it's a good strong body.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27- Am I selling it to you? Any use? - Yes.- Yes, I like it.- For £30.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30I agree with you totally. I think you're spot-on.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34- But where do we start? Let's remind ourselves.- 50.
0:13:34 > 0:13:39- 65.- 65.- Again, we keep wanting to buy things at half what they want.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Fair enough. It's in the nature of the game.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45Look, if you guys are up to having a go at negotiating,
0:13:45 > 0:13:49I think you'd be buying rather wisely at £30, there.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52And if you, Sylvia, wish to fly off with that wee gem,
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- see if you can bring the chickens home to roost.- Thank you.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57'The reds are well on their way
0:13:57 > 0:13:59'but they're three quarters of an hour in
0:13:59 > 0:14:03'and the blues are yet to part with any money.'
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- What about this little pot here? - Oh, that's pretty.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08It's quite pretty. It's a little jam pot.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Little space for the spoon.
0:14:10 > 0:14:11It's porcelain.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15The style's certainly round about sort of 1900.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18I think this might not have been made quite as early
0:14:18 > 0:14:21- but it's made by a German company, Rosenthal.- Uh-huh.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- They're very reputable. They still exist.- Oh, right.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28They're a very reputable porcelain maker in Bavaria.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30- And with 15 minutes to go... - Mm, yes.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34- I quite like it. How much is it? - It says £10 on it.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38I daresay they won't knock anything off of that, so it'll be £10 as it stands.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42- I think we can ask.- There could be a tiny bit of profit in it.
0:14:42 > 0:14:47- I think if...- As we're sort of like a long way down the line,
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- we need to buy something. - I think so.- Let's go for it.
0:14:50 > 0:14:55- Let's buy this as our first purchase...- Yep.- ..and it'll break the mould to find something else.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Shall we go and find out...? I think the price will be £10.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00- OK, great.- Let's go and see. - Let's ask.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04'So, the blues have spent a whole £10,
0:15:04 > 0:15:09'leaving them £290 and under 15 minutes to part with it.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11'Time for our teams to make some decisions.'
0:15:11 > 0:15:13- How did you do?- £48.
0:15:13 > 0:15:1648. What do you think, guys?
0:15:16 > 0:15:21A bit too expensive with the damage, I think.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25- Do you want me to make a call or...? - No, I think we should leave it,
0:15:25 > 0:15:28go and see if we can get something slightly bigger.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32'So the reds are set on getting something special
0:15:32 > 0:15:35'and the blues are set on, well, anything really.'
0:15:35 > 0:15:38This is very stylish. What do you think of this?
0:15:38 > 0:15:40I agree with you. I think it's lovely.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Is it your cup of tea or cup of coffee?
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Our cup of... Oh, it's two, tea and coffee.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49- Makes a good set.- The taller set would normally be the coffee.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52- Right.- You've got the milk jug, sugar bowl and such but...
0:15:52 > 0:15:56- Oh, it's heavy, as well.- Does it say anything on it? Is there a mark?
0:15:56 > 0:15:59EKNS. Mm. It doesn't look like there's any maker's mark on it.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03- It is marked.- Well, EKNS means electroplated nickel silver.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07- Oh, we so know it's plated.- So it's plated, yeah.- It's very pretty.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09- Is there a price?- It's very stylish.
0:16:09 > 0:16:14- Phew. £180. That's not cheap for a plated set.- No.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18What would you expect it to go for? What's a reasonable auction price?
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Well, there's no name that can hang on it,
0:16:20 > 0:16:24- so you can't catalogue it as by a designer, specifically.- Right.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25So that is the problem.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29But it is very stylish and it's very modern looking.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- But we are running behind in time. - We are.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36So we need to have a bit of a bold move here, you see.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38- This is bold.- This might be it.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42We need to try and get a good deal on this. You're financial wizards, off you go.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46- Do you want to do it?- Try my hand. OK. Take this with me.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49'So the blues may have their second item in the bag
0:16:49 > 0:16:54'and Frank is on the hunt for something that will really float his boat.'
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- What have you there?- I love this inlay.- That's rather smart.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01- Tunbridge inlay.- And that's Turkish? - Mother of pearl, rather.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04- Mother of pearl. - On nicely figured walnut
0:17:04 > 0:17:08and it's a writing slope and there's something else going on here.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12Oh, very nice. How does that work?
0:17:12 > 0:17:14- HE GASPS - That is going to empty everywhere.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17- But it is nice. - How on earth does that work?
0:17:17 > 0:17:21- I assume that you had to...- Ah! - ..remove that.- Right.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27But rather smart it is, it has to be said.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31I like rich things and that really is smart.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Would you happily have that on your dressing table?
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- Or sideboard, for that matter? - Yes.
0:17:36 > 0:17:42I love walnut and the work here really is smart.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46We could be wasting our time because this is going to have a good price tag attached to it.
0:17:46 > 0:17:47Would we know the damage?
0:17:48 > 0:17:50£195.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54- It's...- Yeah, look, if I want to take this home,
0:17:54 > 0:17:57195's perfectly fine to me.
0:17:57 > 0:18:03But at auction, if I'm mean it's 80-120,
0:18:03 > 0:18:06if I'm generous it's 100-200. That's a long way off.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- Would you buy it at 100? - Holy Moses, man, you're adventurous.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13If you pull it off, my hat's off, but we should keep looking.
0:18:15 > 0:18:16'There's no stopping that Frank.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19'When it comes to antiques, he's an animal.'
0:18:19 > 0:18:23- You're back. Good news? - Well, see what you think.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27- 130, they've said.- That's £50 off. It's pretty good, isn't it?
0:18:27 > 0:18:31- I mean that's...- I'm happy with that.- It's over a third.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34- How much?- Nearly a third. - What do you think? Are you happy with that.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- Well, I think, I think it's a generous deduction.- Mm-hm.
0:18:37 > 0:18:42- So I think we now ought to go with it, don't you?- Yes. I agree. - Let's go with it.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44- We'll take a chance. - We'll take a chance.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47'So what is the red's last item going to be?'
0:18:49 > 0:18:50- Box. Box.- Box.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53I think it's the box as well. I'll take the risk.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56I agree. How could I possibly argue with that?
0:18:56 > 0:18:58- Buying a good thing. - It's a good thing, it's quality.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00If we lose, it's not the end of the world
0:19:00 > 0:19:06but I would enjoy seeing that and thinking that's what I want to be sold.
0:19:06 > 0:19:11That, in my opinion, is the Bargain Hunt spirit. I love it.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- Better go and see if it's still there.- Come on, then. Let's go.
0:19:14 > 0:19:21'So, with barely minutes to go, the reds spend £130 on the writing box
0:19:21 > 0:19:24'but I've got my doubts that the blues are ever going to finish.'
0:19:24 > 0:19:28- I don't know. Let's have a look. - I'm assuming it's a calendar...
0:19:28 > 0:19:30of some sort.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33- Actually, it's very stylish that. - I would have that in the house.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37- It looks like it's art deco or 1940s.- That's lovely, actually.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42See, I think what it is, every time you turn it, it drops down to the next day.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44- Oh!- How does that work?
0:19:44 > 0:19:50Well, it's perpetual. The numbers are printed, so you turn it over and it's a six.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- Then the seventh.- I love it.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57- What's that for, that bit up there? - It could be for matches.
0:19:57 > 0:20:02- And then you could perhaps even strike them on there.- OK.- You see?
0:20:02 > 0:20:05It's actually quite... It's only in chrome metal
0:20:05 > 0:20:09- and this is painted to look like enamel.- Right.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12There's no maker's mark on it but it's very typical of the period.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14How much is it?
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Well, it... Oh, it says, "Juke box calendar and match holder."
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- So I was right.- Very good.- Ah!- £25.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24- £25.- Shall we see what we can get off that?
0:20:24 > 0:20:27When they're at low prices, often they're not so generous
0:20:27 > 0:20:31- but do you want to have a go? - Yeah.- You spotted it, you go on.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- All right. I will do. - Do your best.- Cheers.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38'Heather and Jerry got the calendar at the very last second
0:20:38 > 0:20:39'for a modest £20.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42'That's what you call the skin of your teeth.'
0:20:42 > 0:20:45ALARM CLOCK RINGING, CLOCKS CHIMING 'Time's up.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48'Let's remind ourselves what the teams bought.
0:20:50 > 0:20:56'The red team were all taken with the WMF inkstand at £25.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59'The team thought that the art nouveau German thermometer
0:20:59 > 0:21:00'was a scorcher of a buy.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04'And it was another unanimous decision
0:21:04 > 0:21:06'on the Tunbridge ware writing box.'
0:21:09 > 0:21:11So, Paul, what's a summary of that shopping?
0:21:11 > 0:21:16Well, I'll tell you, it was a joy to be with such decisive shoppers.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18- Yes.- No dithering here, I'll tell you.
0:21:18 > 0:21:23- That Frank, he's a negotiator, too. - What?- What? Concentrated.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26So, you two lovebirds, which is your favourite piece, Frank?
0:21:26 > 0:21:29My favourite piece is the box that we bought. It's beautiful.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- And I agree. I like the box. - All right.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- And which piece is going to bring the biggest profit?- The inkwell.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- Sylv, you agree with that? - I think Frank's right.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41I don't think the box will make the biggest profit,
0:21:41 > 0:21:45- I think the inkwell will, yes. - Brilliant. £180 is what you spent.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48I'd like £120 - thank you, Frank - of leftover lolly.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51There you go then, boy. Got any ideas?
0:21:51 > 0:21:53- I have, actually.- Have you?
0:21:53 > 0:21:56I have something that I can say with great confidence
0:21:56 > 0:21:57this pair will like.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Ah! Well, that's a good trail, isn't it?
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Well, good luck with getting that, Paul.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07Let's remind ourselves who the reds are up against
0:22:07 > 0:22:09and what exactly the blues bought.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14'It took a long time to find but the blues were happy with the jam pot
0:22:14 > 0:22:15'at £10.
0:22:16 > 0:22:22'They made a snappy decision on the 1970s electroplated tea and coffee set
0:22:22 > 0:22:26'and at the very last moment, they plumped for the perpetual calendar
0:22:26 > 0:22:27'for £20.'
0:22:30 > 0:22:34- So, Keith, did you bond all right with them?- Of course. How could one not?
0:22:34 > 0:22:36What a flatterer he is, isn't he?
0:22:36 > 0:22:41- But it was a last-minute panic, wasn't it?- It was, yes.- Yes. - What a panic.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- Which is your favourite piece, Heather?- The little pot.- OK.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48- What about you? - The perpetual calendar.- OK, Jerry.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51- And which is going to make the biggest profit?- The little pot.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53- The little pot.- My calendar.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57Ah! This is what's so lovely about being in a relationship.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59- Anyway, £160, you spent.- Yes.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02- £140 of leftover lolly goes straight to Keith Baker.- Lovely.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06So what have you found then, Keith, to tempt them with at the auction?
0:23:06 > 0:23:10- I'm looking for something of Glasgow interest.- Are you?
0:23:10 > 0:23:13So we'll keep on the straight and narrow with it
0:23:13 > 0:23:15- and I'll buy a good bargain for you. - All right.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- What could be nicer than that? Good luck.- Bye.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Now, I'm off to discover a bit more about Glasgow.
0:23:24 > 0:23:29'In the heart of Glasgow is Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery...
0:23:30 > 0:23:33'which opened its doors in 1901
0:23:33 > 0:23:36'after it was decided that a new building was needed
0:23:36 > 0:23:40'to house two major collections that had been gifted to the city.'
0:23:40 > 0:23:45Over the years, many more incredible items have been given to the museum
0:23:45 > 0:23:47by avid collectors
0:23:47 > 0:23:51keen to share their passion with the people of Glasgow
0:23:51 > 0:23:52and its visitors.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57'One such avid collector was Anne Hull Grundy,
0:23:57 > 0:24:02'who sent packages of jewellery, textiles and medals to Kelvingrove
0:24:02 > 0:24:06'in sweetie and biscuit tins by registered post.'
0:24:07 > 0:24:11She began her collection as a child
0:24:11 > 0:24:15but having become bedridden at the age of 21,
0:24:15 > 0:24:19falling victim to a mysterious disease
0:24:19 > 0:24:21that no-one was able to define,
0:24:21 > 0:24:26she continued collecting and donating to a number of museums
0:24:26 > 0:24:30until her untimely death at the age of 57.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39An extremely eccentric person,
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Anne Hull Grundy gifted to Kelvingrove
0:24:42 > 0:24:47some 1,200 pieces, including jewellery, costume and textiles
0:24:47 > 0:24:51and here's a tiny selection from her jewellery gifts.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54But when it came to deciding
0:24:54 > 0:24:59which institution she was going to gift part of her collection to,
0:24:59 > 0:25:01one of the considerations
0:25:01 > 0:25:05was the origin of the piece of jewellery itself.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Here we've got a geometric shape.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10It's a star form,
0:25:10 > 0:25:15it's made of silver and inset with perfectly polished stones,
0:25:15 > 0:25:17in this case, granite.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21It was made by a firm called Rettie & Sons in Aberdeen
0:25:21 > 0:25:26and therefore not surprising that that returned north of the border.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30And most appropriately of all is this silver brooch.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35It shows the exhibition buildings here at Kelvingrove
0:25:35 > 0:25:38for the exhibition of 1901
0:25:38 > 0:25:41and sprouting out at either end
0:25:41 > 0:25:46are some seriously prickly thistles with these coloured Scottish stones.
0:25:47 > 0:25:53Next to that is a really exotic, articulated gold necklet
0:25:53 > 0:25:54in the form of a snake.
0:25:54 > 0:26:00And the hasp itself has a gorgeous Victorian mixture of elements.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04It's encrusted in rose-cut diamonds
0:26:04 > 0:26:08baroque pearls, lovely blue enamel
0:26:08 > 0:26:11and rich red eyes.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Scrolling forward into the middle of the 19th century,
0:26:14 > 0:26:20we've got this gorgeous rose coral carved bracelet and brooch,
0:26:20 > 0:26:24a typical high Victorian piece of jewellery.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28And taking the collection bang up to the early part of the 20th century,
0:26:28 > 0:26:30we've got this horn pendant,
0:26:30 > 0:26:33and decorated probably with a red-hot iron,
0:26:33 > 0:26:39a little bit of poker work with this lovely dragonfly.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43If Mrs Hull Grundy didn't receive immediate thanks
0:26:43 > 0:26:47from the museum directors to whom she had made the gift,
0:26:47 > 0:26:50there would immediately be a flurry of telegrams,
0:26:50 > 0:26:53threatening legal action and possible mutilation.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57But I'm pleased to confirm that our teams today,
0:26:57 > 0:27:01irrespective of how they do, will not suffer from the latter.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10Well, we've popped up from the Clyde to Dumbarton Road
0:27:10 > 0:27:13to be at Great Western Auctions with Anita Manning.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15- Welcome, Tim.- Morning.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19Now, Frank and Sylvia, their first item is the WMF inkstand,
0:27:19 > 0:27:23which is quite a pretty but rather dull object.
0:27:23 > 0:27:24Oh, well, it's quite sweet.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26We see the art nouveau influence
0:27:26 > 0:27:29and these little details here
0:27:29 > 0:27:32- with the embossed flowers are rather sweet.- Yes.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36Now this team have paid £25, which is not a lot. Will they make a profit on that?
0:27:36 > 0:27:39I've estimated at £25-40.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42- Well, that's very good.- Yeah. - That is a relief, actually.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46Next is the art nouveau little thermometer stand,
0:27:46 > 0:27:49which is a bit on the rough side, isn't it, poor thing?
0:27:49 > 0:27:50It's been in the wars.
0:27:50 > 0:27:55I love the art nouveau period and the Glaswegians like it, too.
0:27:55 > 0:27:56They like it a lot.
0:27:56 > 0:28:01This has the look. It's probably not as useful now as it was.
0:28:01 > 0:28:06The thermometer is still working but it's a wee bit sort of dicey.
0:28:06 > 0:28:11- Go on.- But it has that wonderful sort of shell-like sinuous look.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14- Yes?- It won't get a lot of money. How much did they pay?
0:28:14 > 0:28:18- They paid £25.- Ah. I've estimated it at, again, 25-40.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20- So they might clear their cash. - It won't fly.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22- The temperature's not rising.- No.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26The Victorian Tunbridge box, quite reasonable condition.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Yes, it's in lovely condition.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30I like it.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34- We've got dual purpose. Nice tidy box.- Yes.- People will like it.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37- OK, fine. What's your estimate? - £150-250.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40- Very good. £130 paid. - Yeah. Not a bad buy.
0:28:40 > 0:28:44I think Frank was worried that he'd paid too much, actually, at £130
0:28:44 > 0:28:45but that's fine.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48- So it all depends really on how the box performs.- Yes.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51That's their money-maker if they're going to make money.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54- That's what they've spent all their money on.- Effectively, they have.
0:28:54 > 0:28:59So if it fails, they're going to need their bonus buy. Let's have a look at it.
0:28:59 > 0:29:06So you spent £180, leaving Paul with £120 of leftover lolly.
0:29:06 > 0:29:07What did you spend it on?
0:29:07 > 0:29:10Well, brace yourself for deja vu.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13- Recognise that wee birdie? - Surprise, surprise!
0:29:15 > 0:29:20- What do you think of that? Remember the quandary we were in? - That's right.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23You've loved the box, I thought you liked this as well.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26I thought you were going to plump for this over the box.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Well, I couldn't let this one fly away.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32I like it. I think it's got that real quirkiness
0:29:32 > 0:29:34- that the market's looking for today. - Right.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37- What do you think then, folks? - It's...- It's lovely.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40I love the wee feather in its beak.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43And have you got a big question to ask Paul?
0:29:43 > 0:29:48- What's it gonna make?- I still think that's good for £50-80.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51I think it's cautious enough at that, so we're in with a shout
0:29:51 > 0:29:53and aren't we in safe hands?
0:29:53 > 0:29:55- With Anita, yes, absolutely.- Yes.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59Well, with that vote of confidence, you don't have to decide right now,
0:29:59 > 0:30:04but for the viewers at home, let's find out what Anita thinks about it.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07Well, this is utterly charming, isn't it, Anita?
0:30:07 > 0:30:13- Right up your street.- Yeah, well, I love novelty cruet sets
0:30:13 > 0:30:17and this is a high Victorian example of that.
0:30:17 > 0:30:22I mean, it's quite tatty in terms of the plating's rubbed and all of that
0:30:22 > 0:30:24- but...- It could be replated.
0:30:24 > 0:30:28- But all in all, it's a charming, charming object.- Yes.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30- Now, what would you estimate on that? - 50-70.
0:30:30 > 0:30:36OK. Paul paid £48, which is, I think, nothing short of miraculous.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40And if this little birdie gets wind up its tail,
0:30:40 > 0:30:42it could be extraordinarily well.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45Good. That's it for the reds. Now for the blues.
0:30:45 > 0:30:49So, first up is this Rosenthal sucriere,
0:30:49 > 0:30:52- I guess part of a big coffee or tea set.- Mm-hm.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55What's an individual remaining piece like that likely to be worth?
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Yes, not a lot, Tim.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59I mean, it is quite a nice piece.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03- It's 20th century again, nice porcelain.- Mm-hm.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07Finely done. 1970s perhaps.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09It's not going to get a lot of money.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12- So what would you estimate?- 10-20?
0:31:12 > 0:31:14We can't ask for more than that.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17What about this stylish tea and coffee set?
0:31:17 > 0:31:20Ah! I have warmed to this.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23It's 20th century Danish design.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25- Is it? Oh.- Danish design.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29- Designed by Carl Cohr.- Mm-hm.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31In the same stable as Georg Jensen.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35- I think the people will like that. - Good.
0:31:35 > 0:31:36It's heavy, it's substantial.
0:31:36 > 0:31:41It's got more going for it than one would originally think.
0:31:41 > 0:31:46- I have to say, they paid a whopping £130...- Yes. - ...for this tea and coffee set.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50- What is your estimate, actually? - I've estimated at 80-120.
0:31:50 > 0:31:56Well, it's difficult if you've not got anything to compare it with but at least you've done some research.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59Their last item is this perpetual calendar
0:31:59 > 0:32:02which is, erm, I don't know.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05It's kind of a half petrol pump, it's half juke box
0:32:05 > 0:32:08and it's definitely stylish.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11It reminds me of Cadillacs, Hollywood...
0:32:11 > 0:32:14- Yeah, very, very stylish.- Uh-huh. - But cheaply made.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18It was never a great work of art but it's got that kind of look.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20The look is there, the style is there
0:32:20 > 0:32:24and that's what's going to make it appealing to the buyers.
0:32:24 > 0:32:28- So you're down the '50s with this? - Yes, it would have come from that period.- Ah!
0:32:28 > 0:32:33I've estimated it 20-30. It could go anywhere.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36- Well, that's great because they only paid £20.- Excellent.
0:32:36 > 0:32:40So the big risk factor, again, for them is in one item,
0:32:40 > 0:32:42the tea and coffee service.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44It's a high-risk strategy.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48If it fails they'll need the bonus buy, so let's have a look at it.
0:32:48 > 0:32:54So, Jerry and Heather, you spent £160, leaving Keith with £140 of leftover lolly.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56What did he spend it on?
0:32:56 > 0:33:00I spent a small proportion of it, actually. £25.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02- Only 25.- Oh, OK.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05- People are very keen on tools. - Uh-huh?
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Ebony, brass fittings and everything,
0:33:07 > 0:33:09it's like the old way of doing things,
0:33:09 > 0:33:11there's a sort of integrity to it.
0:33:11 > 0:33:16- And what attracted me to it is the Glasgow retailer.- Oh, yes.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20That's local interest. There always is interest in tools.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23- I thought it might stand a chance. - Does it still work?
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Have a... Yeah, it does.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28- It does.- A little bit cloudy but it's a functioning thing.
0:33:28 > 0:33:33- What do you think it might make? - It could double up, I should think.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36I think it's a nice piece but I do feel there is a profit in it.
0:33:36 > 0:33:40- Mm!- With tool collectors, I think it stands a good chance.
0:33:40 > 0:33:45- How much is a good chance?- I think it could make £50 or more, actually.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48- Do you hear that, guys? You could double your money on that.- Ooh!
0:33:48 > 0:33:53Just hold that thought. For the viewers at home, here's what the auctioneer thinks.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56Now, Anita Manning, I want you to level with me on this.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58Give us the answers.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00Well, I think it's a lovely thing.
0:34:00 > 0:34:06It has a maker's name on it which is always good when you're looking at tools or instruments,
0:34:06 > 0:34:07that type of thing.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10- Yes, it's a surprisingly weighty object.- Yes.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13That, to me, feels like a solid block of ebony
0:34:13 > 0:34:16and I really do think this is ebony or lignum.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20And isn't the brass gorgeous? The thickness of that brass.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23Yeah. And you have the Glasgow connection, there.
0:34:23 > 0:34:28And you think of what a powerhouse Glasgow was in terms of manufacturing
0:34:28 > 0:34:30at the time that this was made.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33- The second city of the empire. - Well, there you go.
0:34:33 > 0:34:39Now, enough of this jingoistic sabre-rattling from the Glasgow contingent,
0:34:39 > 0:34:40what is this thing worth?
0:34:40 > 0:34:45- I've estimated at 20-30.- Very good. £25 was paid by Keith Baker.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49- And if you wanted a prediction, I can see this slightly taking off.- Yes.
0:34:49 > 0:34:54To your audience, Anita, which is unique, in a way, to your saleroom,
0:34:54 > 0:34:58I think they'll go with this quite passionately. That's my punt.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02- And I wish you bonne chance on the rostrum.- Thank you.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10So, Frank and Sylvia, here we are on the edge of the auction,
0:35:10 > 0:35:14the most exciting moment in the programme, some would say.
0:35:14 > 0:35:18- How are you feeling, darling? - I'm looking forward to it very much.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20- What about you, Frank? - A little nervous, maybe.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24- Feeling a little on the nervy side of it all?- Yes, yes.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27And what about Paul Laidlaw? What's he feeling like?
0:35:27 > 0:35:30Oh, he's feeling positive. That glass is half full.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32Well, that's lovely, isn't it?
0:35:32 > 0:35:35First up, though, is Sylvia's desk set and here it comes.
0:35:35 > 0:35:39It's WMF, ladies and gentlemen. It's art nouveau.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42Start me at £20. 20 bid.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44Any advance on 20?
0:35:44 > 0:35:48Any advance on £20? All done at...?
0:35:48 > 0:35:5325, fresh bidder. With you, sir, at 25. Any advance on 25?
0:35:53 > 0:35:5425...
0:35:54 > 0:35:57Only just, Sylvia. £25. You've wiped your face.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00- I've wiped my face. - No profit or loss.- That's all right.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03Now, Paul, here comes your thermometer.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07It's a sweet little silver metal desk thermometer.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09Start me at £20. 20 bid.
0:36:09 > 0:36:1325. 30. 35.
0:36:13 > 0:36:17With you, sir, at 35. Any advance on 35?
0:36:17 > 0:36:19All done at 35. 35...
0:36:19 > 0:36:22That's brilliant, Paul. £35 is a £10 profit.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Can't ask for more than that.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27- Now, Frank...- This is it. - It's down to you, mate.
0:36:27 > 0:36:31It's a combined writing slope and sewing box.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34I'll take 50. 50 with the lady.
0:36:34 > 0:36:38Any advance on £50? 60. 70.
0:36:38 > 0:36:3980, 90.
0:36:39 > 0:36:4390 with the lady. Any advance on £90?
0:36:43 > 0:36:44Lady at 100. Fresh bidder.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46110, 120.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48130, 140.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50- 150.- Great.
0:36:50 > 0:36:55- £150.- Brilliant. - With you, madam, at 150.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57150...
0:36:57 > 0:37:01She's done it, £150. Well done, Frank. That is plus £20.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03You are overall plus £30.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07- You have £30 in your back pocket, how good is that?- It's all right!
0:37:07 > 0:37:11- What about the cruet? - I'll take the profit.- You would?
0:37:11 > 0:37:14- And Sylvia?- Will we stick with our profit?- Stick with it.
0:37:14 > 0:37:18This lot's just coming up now. You've got to make a decision.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20- No, we're sticking.- No? - We'll stick with it.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22- No, no, no.- Stick, stick, stick.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26OK, we're not going with it and you're not going to have any of the profit that it makes
0:37:26 > 0:37:29cos you haven't gone with it and here it comes.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32A Victorian novelty silver-plated cruet.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34Start me at £40.
0:37:34 > 0:37:3640 bid. 50.
0:37:36 > 0:37:3860. £60.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42Any advance on 60 on the cruet?
0:37:42 > 0:37:4770, fresh bidder. Any advance on £70? All done at £70?
0:37:47 > 0:37:49£70...
0:37:49 > 0:37:53- Sold it. Well done, Paul. £70. - Well done.- Well done, you.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56You would have made another £22 on that.
0:37:56 > 0:38:00£22, you would've made, you didn't make it, you didn't go with it.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02So you banked your 30 and you are plus £30.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04- No shame in that.- No.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07And who knows with these things, it's incredibly difficult.
0:38:07 > 0:38:11- And £30 profit is very good. - That's it.- OK?- OK.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14- Don't tell the blues a thing. - No, we won't.
0:38:21 > 0:38:25- Now, Jerry, Heather. You been talking to those reds?- No.- No.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28- Not a dickie bird?- Not a word. - All right, lovely.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32- The high-risk jobby really is the tea, coffee service.- Indeed.
0:38:32 > 0:38:37If the worst comes to the worst, you could go with the spirit level to boost your profits.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40First up though is the preserve pot and cover and here it comes.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44- The Rosenthal porcelain preserve pot and cover.- Here we go.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46Start me at 10. £10?
0:38:46 > 0:38:4910 bid. Any advance on 10? 15.
0:38:49 > 0:38:5320. 25.
0:38:53 > 0:38:5930. With you, sir, at £30. All done at £30? £30...
0:38:59 > 0:39:03- Well done, Keith Baker.- Yes, good man, good man.- That's plus 20.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05He's good at this, isn't he?
0:39:05 > 0:39:09- Now, the tea set. Is he going to be as good again?- Perhaps not.
0:39:09 > 0:39:14It's Danish-designed, silver-plated, four-piece tea service.
0:39:14 > 0:39:19- It's Carl Cohr.- There you go. - Can we say £100?
0:39:19 > 0:39:21£50, then. 50 bid.
0:39:21 > 0:39:25Any advance on 50? Any advance on 50? 60.
0:39:25 > 0:39:2770. 80.
0:39:27 > 0:39:2990, 100.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32- £100.- A bit more...
0:39:32 > 0:39:37- Any advance on £100? - I think she's conking out, Keith.
0:39:37 > 0:39:38£100...
0:39:38 > 0:39:40- Oh, well.- £100, she's conked out.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42That is minus 30.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45You are overall minus £10 now. That is bad luck.
0:39:45 > 0:39:49- But there you go. You don't speculate, you don't accumulate.- True.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53- Now, Jerry, here's your bid. - That is Hollywood!
0:39:53 > 0:39:55- Here we go. Fantastic. - Hollywood in a calendar.
0:39:55 > 0:40:01- It's the 1950s perpetual desk calendar.- Come on, come on.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04Can we say £50? 50, straight in at 50.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07£50 bid. Any advance on 50?
0:40:07 > 0:40:10- Any advance on £50?- Fantastic. - He did well, your old man.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13- 60, 70.- Oh, well done.- £70.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16All done at £70? £70...
0:40:16 > 0:40:18- Brilliant. Well done.- Yes!
0:40:18 > 0:40:21Well done, Jerry, you have made £50 on that, straight up,
0:40:21 > 0:40:24which overall means that you are plus 40.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27- You saved the day, there. - You bailed me out, fantastic.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29- That's fantastic.- That's marvellous.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32To be £40 up, now that's rollercoaster for sure.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35So you're £40 in profit. What about the spirit level?
0:40:35 > 0:40:40It will cost you £25. Are you going to risk the £25 or bank the 40?
0:40:40 > 0:40:43- We like it.- We do.- You like it. - It's different.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46- You've made the wise choice so far, so...- Yeah.
0:40:46 > 0:40:51- So are you going to go with the bonus buy?- Yes.- Yes.- I think it's a jolly nice thing myself.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53So here comes the spirit level.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56An ebony and brass spirit level. Start me at £20.
0:40:56 > 0:40:5920 bid. Any advance on £20?
0:40:59 > 0:41:0225. Any advance on 25?
0:41:02 > 0:41:07Any advance on 25? All done at 25. 25...
0:41:07 > 0:41:11- £25, it's wiped it's face. That's OK.- Oh, well.
0:41:11 > 0:41:16You took a chance, you rode it and you came home with no losses.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19- That's all right.- Good. Well done. - So overall, you are plus 40.
0:41:19 > 0:41:24- Plus 40, it could be a winning score. Don't say a thing to the reds. - Not a thing.
0:41:33 > 0:41:37Almost too close to call, I'd say, right?
0:41:37 > 0:41:39- Now, have you chaps been talking? - No.- No.- No?
0:41:39 > 0:41:43- Not at all.- Well, both teams know that they've made profits
0:41:43 > 0:41:49- but they don't know which team is just nudging ahead in the profit league.- Oh...
0:41:49 > 0:41:53However, one team is marginally behind and that is the reds.
0:41:53 > 0:41:54HE GROANS
0:41:54 > 0:41:58Which is bad luck, isn't it? And it's all down to strategy!
0:41:58 > 0:42:02- Absolutely.- Because you didn't go with the bonus buy.- That was it.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04You have a profit of £30 with no bonus buy.
0:42:04 > 0:42:12- You didn't trust Paul Laidlaw. He would've given you another £22 of leftover lolly profit.- Terrible.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14But we mustn't go crying into our beer
0:42:14 > 0:42:17because to make a profit of £30 is an achievement
0:42:17 > 0:42:19and I congratulate you on that.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23- And here, naughty little Sylvia, is your £30.- Thank you very much.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Congratulations and bad luck.
0:42:25 > 0:42:29- And you're jolly jammy, you two.- Yay! - I tell you.
0:42:29 > 0:42:33- If they had gone with the bonus buy, you'd be up a gum tree.- OK.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36- As it is, you have a profit of £40, which is brilliant.- Yes.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39Jerry really needs the congratulations
0:42:39 > 0:42:46because to make a profit of 50 on that miserable little chromium-plated jobby was a great achievement.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48- That saved your bacon. - Thank you, Tim.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51- But all incredibly exciting and really good fun.- Very exciting.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53- So here's the 40 smackers.- Thank you.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55We have had a splendid day.
