0:00:22 > 0:00:26Welcome, Bargain Hunters, to Hungerford in West Berkshire.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29Today, we're shopping in the Hungerford Arcade.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34We've given two teams - one red, one blue -
0:00:34 > 0:00:38the enviable task of shopping here for one hour.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42They get a budget of £300 to find three objects,
0:00:42 > 0:00:45antiques or collectibles, which are taken off to auction.
0:00:45 > 0:00:50The aim of the game is to sell them for more money than they paid
0:00:50 > 0:00:53as any profit they make they'll get to keep.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Let's go and meet the teams.
0:00:55 > 0:01:00And here they are. For the reds we've got sisters Wendy and Shelley, double trouble there!
0:01:00 > 0:01:06And battling away for the blues, father and son Brian and Paul.
0:01:06 > 0:01:11Welcome to Bargain Hunt. You're sisters. Close, or are we going to have fireworks?
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- We're very close.- Yeah, we're close. - Very close.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- But we debate a lot. - We're good at debating!
0:01:17 > 0:01:20And you do a bit of chatting with one another?
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- We do.- Quite a bit.- Quite a bit.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26- Every day.- Twice a day. - On the...- Three times a day.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28And we might meet in the evenings.
0:01:28 > 0:01:33- What will you be looking out for today?- Maybe something silver. That sells well.- Yes.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37And we want something that's maybe a bit modern,
0:01:37 > 0:01:40a bit Art Deco with nice lines.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44- Design led, that type of thing. - Yes, that will go in a modern house.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46- You're young and with it.- Yes!
0:01:46 > 0:01:49And clean and lean, and all that.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53- Shell, this isn't your first time on television?- No, it's not.
0:01:53 > 0:01:58- Tell us about the shows you've starred in.- The other show I've been on is Blind Date!
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Blind Date?! Did you? What's Cilla like? Is she nice?
0:02:01 > 0:02:04She was OK. A very professional lady. Yes.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- Did you get picked? - Yes. Went to Jamaica.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- No!- I did a bit of water-skiing
0:02:09 > 0:02:12and had a bit of a laugh. It was good fun.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17- You didn't marry the man that picked you?- No, I didn't. - Did you get "close" to him?
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- No. Just had fun, really. - Just fun.- Just fun.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Very good luck to you. I think you'll be good at this lark.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- Boys, are you scared? - Yes!- Definitely!
0:02:28 > 0:02:31You've seen this. They are formidable!
0:02:31 > 0:02:35- Are you well prepared for today's Bargain Hunting?- I think so.
0:02:35 > 0:02:40- Got any collections yourself? - I don't collect but I have a big collection of tools.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44- Where do you keep them all? - In three sheds and a garage.- Really?
0:02:44 > 0:02:45- It's a family joke.- Is it?
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Every time Dad wants to do a job, he buys a new tool.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Cos he can't find the old one!
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Do you collect anything?
0:02:53 > 0:02:59- I watched an episode of the Antiques Roadshow...- Splendid programme.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01- BBC programme.- Indeed.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03There was an autographed Beatles record.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06I saw it went for quite a good price
0:03:06 > 0:03:09so I thought I'd choose a band around at the moment
0:03:09 > 0:03:11and I chose the band U2.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- What have you got in your collection? Records? - Not just records.
0:03:14 > 0:03:19- Things ranging from inflatable cars. - Inflatable cars?
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Inflatable lemons.
0:03:21 > 0:03:26- Right.- And even, if I'm allowed to say, U2 condoms!
0:03:26 > 0:03:30U2 condoms?! Are they inflatable as well?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33The girls think that's terribly funny!
0:03:33 > 0:03:37I don't think U2 condom is a trade name, so we'll allow it.
0:03:37 > 0:03:42- It may be collectible one day.- If they're still in their original packaging!- Not been used!
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Let's keep this wholesome, shall we?
0:03:45 > 0:03:50So, apart from looking out for U2 memorabilia today, what will you be going for?
0:03:50 > 0:03:55What will we be going for? I think the old household favourites,
0:03:55 > 0:04:01possibly, if we can, Clarice Cliff or maybe some Wedgwood or Doulton.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Do you know about Clarice Cliff?
0:04:03 > 0:04:09I've been quite fortunate. I did buy a boxed lot at one stage
0:04:09 > 0:04:12that had on top of the box some glass bowls
0:04:12 > 0:04:19and fortunately underneath the box, I'm not sure the auctioneer noticed it was there,
0:04:19 > 0:04:22was a Clarice Cliff dinner service!
0:04:22 > 0:04:27- Ah!- So it was very fortunate and paid for my ticket to Australia.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31- So you are an expert on Clarice Cliff?- Hopefully!
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Now, the money moment. £300 apiece.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37A wodge of cash. How lovely.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40You know the rules. Your experts await. Off you go.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42And very good luck!
0:04:42 > 0:04:47So their hour has started. Let's hope their experts are ready for them.
0:04:47 > 0:04:52Yes, both teams have expert knowledge on hand to help them pick up their bargains.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56With the reds, it's number one, Mark Stacey.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00And for the blues, unmistakably, Philip Allwood.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05OK, teams. Three bargains with £300.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Let battle commence!
0:05:11 > 0:05:12£300!
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Anything you like in there?
0:05:17 > 0:05:19I'm still looking.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22That's Beswick and that's Shelley.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25- Get a bit bored with those. - But it's my name!
0:05:25 > 0:05:31But it is 295. We're probably just out on that.
0:05:32 > 0:05:37- See the Elizabeth II pepper pot? - Where?- With the crown on it. - At the back?
0:05:37 > 0:05:41- At the back?- Oh, yes! - That's quite stylish, isn't it?
0:05:41 > 0:05:45- Silver jubilee.- How much is it? - £150 the pair.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48A pair? Oh, cos it's got the little salt with it.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52- Yes.- The silver salt.- Why don't we look at that?- Shall we?
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Salt and pepper pots, or cruet set, if you fancy.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58How does this kind of stuff sell?
0:05:58 > 0:06:02It's becoming more collectible. We'd need to get the price down.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06I don't know if this dealer negotiates but we'd need the price down.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10- They'd be a speculative buy.- OK. - Because of the jubilee connection.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14I think they're quite stylish. Do you know what I mean?
0:06:14 > 0:06:17If there wasn't that on there you'd happily use that.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19I like the way the holes are there.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Don't people go for kind of royalty kind of...
0:06:22 > 0:06:25They can do. It's not as collectible as it once was
0:06:25 > 0:06:29because we're not as royalist as we once were, if you know what I mean.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- Shall we see what we can get for these?- Shall we?
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- We'll find out the best on those. - We'll run out of time.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37We need to go round the corner.
0:06:37 > 0:06:42The reds haven't bought the cruet set. They've put it on the back burner.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44But it could be theirs for £100.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Over to the blues, now. What's tempting them?
0:06:48 > 0:06:50What about the plaques?
0:06:50 > 0:06:53No. Right, what have we got there?
0:06:53 > 0:06:55145.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57OK. Shall we have a look at them?
0:06:58 > 0:07:02We want to look at the Copeland plaques, if possible.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06There we go. They're pretty smart, aren't they? Look at those.
0:07:06 > 0:07:11Copeland & Garrett. 1830, '40, that sort of period.
0:07:11 > 0:07:16They are going to be made out of, by the looks of it, porcelain.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Are they a collectors' piece?
0:07:18 > 0:07:22They certainly will be. These are reasonably early bits of Copeland.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Bacchanalian figures, there.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Looks like Bacchus sitting in a basket. He's had a good night!
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- And that one... - Good end to an evening!
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- That's rude!- They're a load of Bacchanalian figures.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37They're obviously moving a donkey somewhere!
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Yes, slightly risque.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45Building on Greek and Roman myths, traditional stories.
0:07:45 > 0:07:50- Um...- Risky usually sells, doesn't it?
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- It can do.- What do you reckon it'd sell for?
0:07:53 > 0:07:59Probably if they were in my sale room I'd estimate them at around 100 to £150.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04Might possibly get a little more than that but it's...
0:08:04 > 0:08:08- So if we can get them down to closer to 100 than...- The 145.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10100 is what we're looking at.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13I think you might well have a chance there.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17- OK, we'll try for the 100. - Let's have a look.- Let's go.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Chaps, time for some negotiating with the manager.
0:08:20 > 0:08:25They're looking between 90 and 100. Can you do anything for me?
0:08:27 > 0:08:32You're certainly in that ball game.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- I did a bit better than what you wanted.- 95. Most definitely.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- We'll have a go at that. - That's put a smile on my face!
0:08:39 > 0:08:44Strike one to the blues. The reds have some catching up to do.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47What about something like these?
0:08:47 > 0:08:48Like carpet bowls.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Those kind of things.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53I quite like that. Do you quite like that?
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Those are fun, aren't they?
0:08:55 > 0:08:57- I think they're fun, too. - I like them.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01We need to get them out and see. They're in their original box
0:09:01 > 0:09:04with the rules of engagement.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05Have a proper look.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07They're pretty smart.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Candlesticks.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Yeah. By Linley. Lord Linley.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Good quality. Great maker. Good name.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19- But I just think...- Around 150. - We can come back to that, maybe.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- Yeah.- Come back to it.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25Actually it's... This is the original box.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- Can I pick one out? - Of course you can.
0:09:28 > 0:09:33- Have the bowls.- I think they're great.- I love them. - They're good fun.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37What we've got here is a 1930s set of carpet bowls.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40What I like about them is the box is original.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43You can see that. They're beautifully fitted inside.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45You have the rules of the game there.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48All the details here are rather interesting.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51They're "perfectly balanced miniatures."
0:09:51 > 0:09:54So you roll the jack down the carpet
0:09:54 > 0:09:58and use the colours to try and play a normal game of bowls.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02- They're all marked...- Typical British weather.- I'd have these. - Would you?
0:10:02 > 0:10:03Yes.
0:10:03 > 0:10:08- Oh, isn't that great? I think we should find out how much we can get those for.- Yes.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10They're £79 at the moment.
0:10:10 > 0:10:16- Well, let's see what we can get them for.- OK. Let's see. Brilliant.
0:10:22 > 0:10:27Now, this is a bit of fun that I've found on the stall here in the antiques centre.
0:10:27 > 0:10:33What we've got here is a basic Staffordshire porcelain tea cup and saucer
0:10:33 > 0:10:35and a little booklet.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39Ordinarily, you'd expect an ordinary Ainsley tea cup and saucer
0:10:39 > 0:10:45to have been made around about 1905 and in the white, completely unmarked.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48It might be worth, at most, at auction, about 50p!
0:10:48 > 0:10:51But this is rather special.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54What we've got is a cup and saucer
0:10:54 > 0:10:57which are marked with a whole lot of mumbo-jumbo.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Stars and symbols.
0:10:59 > 0:11:04Fortunately, the cup and saucer comes with a booklet. Here it is.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08It says, "Would'st learn thy future with thy tea?
0:11:08 > 0:11:13"This Magic Cup will showth it thee."
0:11:13 > 0:11:17So what this is is a tea-leaf reading kit.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20You've got the tea cup, you've got the saucer
0:11:20 > 0:11:23and you've got the little booklet telling us how to do it.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26You pour the tea into the cup,
0:11:26 > 0:11:28not with a teabag, with old-fashioned tea leaves!
0:11:28 > 0:11:33Swirl the tea leaves in the cup, splash it into the saucer
0:11:33 > 0:11:36and start making your predictions.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Now, it tells you here that what you've got
0:11:39 > 0:11:46are planetary signs, which are the red ones running round the star in the middle.
0:11:46 > 0:11:52It tells you in the booklet that depending on where the tea falls within the cup,
0:11:52 > 0:11:54enables you to make a prediction.
0:11:54 > 0:12:00So if your tea leaves happen to have the odd long stem in them,
0:12:00 > 0:12:05and that long stem, for example, was to land here,
0:12:05 > 0:12:07on that lunar symbol,
0:12:07 > 0:12:12you can read that your wife, sweetheart or husband
0:12:12 > 0:12:16will be "very rash, headstrong and independent,
0:12:16 > 0:12:21"of a peculiar disposition, artistic and erratic."
0:12:21 > 0:12:24So watch out!
0:12:24 > 0:12:28This whole outfit - the book, the cup and saucer -
0:12:28 > 0:12:31could be yours today for £15.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35Is that cheap or expensive? I don't know.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37But it's great fun!
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Now, back to our Bargain Hunters.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42What fortunes lie ahead for them?
0:12:42 > 0:12:46- The thing is...- It is what it is. - Broken.
0:12:46 > 0:12:51- Does that say "Wiltshire men in London?"- Yes. Mark, we quite like this.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54"Wiltshire men in London" snuff box.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56- Yes.- Table snuff box.- No.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59- Why not?- Because I don't think anybody's gonna use it.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01How old is it?
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- 1910.- Yeah.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- No?- I don't think anybody's gonna buy it. That's the problem.
0:13:08 > 0:13:14Hang on, Mark. This is up to the girls. At least let them have a look.
0:13:15 > 0:13:21- I've just heard from the chap about the carpet bowls. We can have them for £60. So £19 off.- Brilliant.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- We'll go with that.- I think they'll sell.- They will.
0:13:24 > 0:13:29You liked those, both of you. So we've got to go with those.
0:13:29 > 0:13:34- Why don't you like this snuff box? - First, because it's light weight.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36What's that telling you? It's not...
0:13:36 > 0:13:41I just don't think people are gonna go for it, to be honest.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45Oh, dear. The reds warned us about their debating!
0:13:45 > 0:13:47How are the blues doing?
0:13:48 > 0:13:51£20. You'll struggle with that.
0:13:51 > 0:13:52Keep looking, blues.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Have Wendy and Shelley convinced Mark yet?
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- We'll sell it in Somerset. - But we're Wiltshire girls.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00But not Wiltshire men!
0:14:00 > 0:14:02- It's a snuff box.- And it's hallmarked.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06- Hallmarked.- Hallmarked there and on the lid.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Tell me why you like it so much. I think it's awful!
0:14:09 > 0:14:13I like the shape. It's useful to have on your dressing table.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15You could stick rings or bangles in it.
0:14:15 > 0:14:21- And it looks nice.- It does look nice. It's clean and tidy.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24There's not a lot one can say about it. It's hallmarked, a bonus.
0:14:24 > 0:14:29I suppose it comes down to how collectible the society is.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33At £105, if there isn't anybody there to collect it, it'll bomb.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35But who knows?
0:14:35 > 0:14:39- I think we need to try and get that down a bit.- How much do we need to get it down by?
0:14:39 > 0:14:44It's difficult to say, but we need to get it down to 80 or less.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- OK.- Right, OK.- We must try and get that down.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- Are you up for it?- Definitely. - Let's go.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Don't mess with the girls, Mark!
0:14:52 > 0:14:56They picked up the silver hallmarked snuff box for £85.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00Also, as a desk, where do you put your computer?
0:15:00 > 0:15:03- These are older pieces of silver. - How do you know that?
0:15:03 > 0:15:07Because you can read the labels. 1912!
0:15:10 > 0:15:1589 quid. Let's have a look and see what we've got there.
0:15:15 > 0:15:20- Doesn't look like a lot. There's a split there.- A bit of a split.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24It's almost certainly a German movement.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Probably dates to about 1900.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29It's got an eight-day movement.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33It's quite fun. They've obviously tarted it up a bit.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35It's quite a showy thing for that money.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38That's what I thought. It stood out.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41When it was made, it would have been a relatively cheap model.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44But trying not to be.
0:15:46 > 0:15:5189 quid. If we can get it for 60 quid or something like that.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53- It might be worth it. - Let's have a go.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59That's the blues' second. The 19th-century German mantel clock
0:15:59 > 0:16:01came in at £70.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- Oh, look, Shelley, is that a... - A Spirograph!
0:16:06 > 0:16:11At £360, girls, so shall we move on from that, I think?
0:16:13 > 0:16:1815 minutes left and so far the blues have spent £95 on the plaques
0:16:18 > 0:16:22and £70 on the clock, leaving them 165 to spend.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24We're back at those candlesticks.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28- Do you think they might be... - Well, they are pretty smart.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31They spotted these candlesticks earlier.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Will they be as tempting this time round?
0:16:34 > 0:16:37- Shall we get them out and have a look?- Yes!- I think we ought to.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44A pair of boxed Linley column walnut candlesticks.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49150. Nice and clearly stamped here, "Linley".
0:16:49 > 0:16:54From the workshops of Viscount Linley.
0:16:54 > 0:17:02One of the more respected furniture designers and makers of the last and into this century.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06I know they're not old. In fact, they almost couldn't be newer.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- You could see them in a new house. - Absolutely.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11I don't know what they sold for new.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14I would imagine... I would imagine more.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18I think it might be worth a call, to see how far we can get them.
0:17:18 > 0:17:23If we can get them closer to 100 than 150, you might see them making that.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Shall we see if a deal can be done?
0:17:25 > 0:17:31They were asking 150, but our boys in blue snapped up the Linley candlesticks
0:17:31 > 0:17:33for 120.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Now, both teams should be thinking about how much leftover lolly
0:17:36 > 0:17:39they're gonna leave their experts.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43Any unspent cash will be handed over to Mark and Philip
0:17:43 > 0:17:45whose aim will be to find a mystery bonus buy.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49This surprise will be revealed to our teams later.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53Then after the sale of their third item, both teams will take a gamble
0:17:53 > 0:17:56on the money their bonus buy could make.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Any profit it makes they'll keep,
0:17:58 > 0:18:03but any loss will be deducted from their final score. That could decide who wins.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Back to Shelley and Wendy.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09They've splashed out 60 on the bowls, 85 on the snuff box
0:18:09 > 0:18:11and need to decide on the cruet set.
0:18:11 > 0:18:16Ten minutes and £155 left. Decisions, please!
0:18:17 > 0:18:19What do you like about it, Wendy?
0:18:19 > 0:18:25It's a bit unusual. They're not your average scale that you find.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27No, because they're tobacco scales.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- So they're not in every household! - Not in every household!
0:18:30 > 0:18:33They are made by a very good maker.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Avery is one of the most well known.
0:18:35 > 0:18:42- What's it made out of?- Metal, but it's had paint put on to simulate a wooden frame.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47- I guess this is made 1940s, I guess. - OK.
0:18:47 > 0:18:53You could still go in tobacconists' then and buy loose tobacco and have a cigarette blended.
0:18:53 > 0:18:59- I think it's unusual. It's not the set kind of standard thing that people...- Looks good.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00- Yeah.- How much is it?
0:19:00 > 0:19:04Well, the label here says it's £85.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07That's a bad sign. We need to get that down.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09If we get this, we can't get the salt and pepper pots.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13True. If we get this, the salt and pepper's out.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17You're not over impressed with that. It's still a consideration.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- I prefer this.- I think this is... - It's got a chance...
0:19:20 > 0:19:24- It's different.- ..of making more money than the salt and pepper pot.
0:19:24 > 0:19:30Well, to be honest with you, the limitation with this is who wants it.
0:19:30 > 0:19:35People collect tobacco memorabilia and pipes and ash trays and snuff boxes!
0:19:35 > 0:19:39You're selling it to me. Let's hope the people of Crewkerne like it.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- Yes. OK.- They'd be silly not to!
0:19:48 > 0:19:52That's both teams over the finishing line with their three items,
0:19:52 > 0:19:55so let's have a quick reminder as to how the reds got on.
0:19:55 > 0:20:01Reds got the day started with the 1930s boxed set of carpet bowls.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Next up, the silver snuff box.
0:20:05 > 0:20:10Mark thinks it's more duff than snuff, but the girls disagree.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14And weighing finally was the set of tobacco scales.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15Oh, dear!
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- Did they run you round? - They've run me ragged.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- But I've enjoyed it! - I don't blame you!
0:20:21 > 0:20:24- Well, girls, you had a good shop. - Yes.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28Yes, absolutely hectic. Which is your favourite piece, Shell?
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Favourite piece? What do you think?
0:20:31 > 0:20:35- I really like the scales.- Yes.- Mark gave us such a hard time about them.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37The scales your favourite piece?
0:20:37 > 0:20:41You spent a magnificent £205. That was really hot.
0:20:41 > 0:20:46- £95 of leftover lolly. Thank you very much. £95 to you, Mark. - Thank you, Tim.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50We absolutely understand the difficulty you've been having!
0:20:50 > 0:20:51Super!
0:20:51 > 0:20:57- So you're up for this?- Yes I think I've found something that might clean up a profit.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Clean up? There could be a hint there.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01I wonder if they'll pick up on that?
0:21:01 > 0:21:06But the girls don't get to see the bonus buy till we get to auction.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08- Something to look forward to. - Absolutely.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11You slip off and make sure that you get it.
0:21:11 > 0:21:16Meanwhile, let's remind ourselves of what the blues bought.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Brian and Paul's first buy
0:21:18 > 0:21:23were the mid-19th-century Copeland & Garrett wall plaques.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Then they found the late 19th-century German mantel clock.
0:21:28 > 0:21:33But last, and not least, were the Viscount Linley walnut candlesticks.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36What is our favourite piece, Paul?
0:21:36 > 0:21:39I'd say my favourite is the Linley candlesticks.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42- You, Brian? - I like the Spode plaques.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44You like those best. Great.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46You spent a magnificent £285.
0:21:46 > 0:21:51Here are 15 miserable smackers for you to find that bonus buy.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- Sorry!- Thanks(!) I'll do what I can.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56What you do, you do.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00- Very good luck with your trawl. - I think that might be needed for this one!
0:22:00 > 0:22:05We are gonna head off to the auction. But before that,
0:22:05 > 0:22:10I'm going to the most beautiful house - Mompesson House, Salisbury.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Gotta be careful how you say that!
0:22:19 > 0:22:24Set within the walls of the world famous Salisbury Cathedral,
0:22:24 > 0:22:27actually at Number 53, Cathedral Close,
0:22:27 > 0:22:29is Mompesson House,
0:22:29 > 0:22:34quite the most glorious Queen Anne house you're ever likely to find.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37It also enjoys spectacular views.
0:22:45 > 0:22:52But I'm here to take a peek at a spectacular collection of glass.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Rebuilt in the late 17th century,
0:22:54 > 0:23:00Mompesson has stood in its present state since 1701.
0:23:00 > 0:23:06Inside, you'll find one of the finest bequests belonging to the National Trust.
0:23:09 > 0:23:15Mompesson now houses the Turnbull collection of English drinking glasses
0:23:15 > 0:23:19of which this is only a small selection.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23Actually, there are 370 pieces or so in the house.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27The English glass industry was revolutionised in the 1670s
0:23:27 > 0:23:34when a man called George Ravenscroft introduced glass with a high lead content.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38This flinty-grey glass was very soon adopted
0:23:38 > 0:23:41by the drinking glass makers
0:23:41 > 0:23:45and baluster glasses of this form were produced.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48This glass dates from round about 1700.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51It's got a tapering conical bowl
0:23:51 > 0:23:54and it then sits on this baluster -
0:23:54 > 0:23:56it looks a bit like a squashed mushroom -
0:23:56 > 0:23:59and on a foot that's been over-folded.
0:23:59 > 0:24:04If you imagine that foot progressing to its normal extremity
0:24:04 > 0:24:08the glass would be very thin by the time you get to the end.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11So whilst it's still in a molten state,
0:24:11 > 0:24:15it's bent and folded over on itself.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19Hence you get this fold-over foot which makes it much stronger
0:24:19 > 0:24:23and means the thing will survive without chipping.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26I've selected this little glass to look at.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30The indication of its usage is engraved on the outside
0:24:30 > 0:24:34where we've got a hop and an ear of barley.
0:24:34 > 0:24:40In fact, ale was brewed to a higher alcoholic content in the 18th century.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42It was as alcoholic as wine.
0:24:42 > 0:24:47You had weak beer, which was watered down stuff for everyday drinking.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Probably better for you than the water.
0:24:49 > 0:24:56Or ale, which, in elegant society, you would drink out of a glass like this.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00Now, this glass is the absolute epitome
0:25:00 > 0:25:05of what an 18th-century drinking glass collector is looking for.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09It's a cordial with a tiny little bowl.
0:25:09 > 0:25:15Cordial was a drink that was made out of usually brandy
0:25:15 > 0:25:17with various fruits soaking in it.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19So, pick your blackcurrants,
0:25:19 > 0:25:23prick them, soak them in brandy for a year or two,
0:25:23 > 0:25:27decant it, and that very alcoholic cordial drink
0:25:27 > 0:25:29would go into a little glass like this.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31And joy of joy,
0:25:31 > 0:25:34the top edge has been enamelled,
0:25:34 > 0:25:36probably by the Beilby family.
0:25:36 > 0:25:41This enamelling is powdered glass that's been painted on
0:25:41 > 0:25:44and then fired on the outer surface.
0:25:44 > 0:25:49Finally, and perhaps most amusingly, we have this little glass,
0:25:49 > 0:25:53which is called a toastmaster's or firing glass.
0:25:53 > 0:25:58You can see that the small bowl is very thickly drawn
0:25:58 > 0:26:02and that's so that it deceives the eye into thinking
0:26:02 > 0:26:06that there's more alcohol inside it than there really is.
0:26:06 > 0:26:11At a smart affair, the toastmaster, who'd announce each of those toasts,
0:26:11 > 0:26:13had to keep sober!
0:26:13 > 0:26:17Yet he had to drink a little something to be sociable.
0:26:17 > 0:26:22So this sort of glass would cut down on the amount of alcohol he's taking on board
0:26:22 > 0:26:25meaning that he could continue with his job.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Anyway, the big question is today,
0:26:28 > 0:26:34are we going to be in a position to raise our glasses and toast our teams over at the auction?
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Cheers!
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Still to come on Bargain Hunt:
0:26:39 > 0:26:43our red sisters are still debating.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45- I think so!- I don't know!
0:26:45 > 0:26:48And the blues clock up some profit.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Very good, Paul.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56First, let's check in at Lawrence's Auctioneers in Crewkerne
0:26:56 > 0:26:59to see how auctioneer Richard Kaye rates our items.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Wendy and Shelley's first item are these carpet bowls.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10- Plastic, 1930s, in a box. They're complete.- Yes.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13And they have the instructions, if you don't know how to play.
0:27:13 > 0:27:18It's nice to have them in their original box. Since they're probably 75 years old,
0:27:18 > 0:27:21nice that they're complete and undamaged.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- Not sure about the plastic.- No. These are in a different league.
0:27:24 > 0:27:29- How much do you see them giving for this set?- £20. £30, perhaps.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32£60 paid. You need to be pretty hopeful.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36Talking about being hopeful, next up is the snuff box.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39- Is it a snuff box?- It looks like one from here.
0:27:39 > 0:27:40Looking at the bottom,
0:27:40 > 0:27:44one can see that it's had four supports removed,
0:27:44 > 0:27:48cabriole legs that would have been three-quarters of an inch long.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51- Originally it was a dressing table box.- Ah!
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Those have been snapped off in order for it to be presented
0:27:54 > 0:27:56to "The Wiltshire men in London",
0:27:56 > 0:28:00whatever they were doing between 1861 and 1911.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03It's commemorated with this box. We'll never know.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07- £30, perhaps, maybe a little more on a good day.- With the wind up its tail.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11With the wind up its tail. But with its legs missing,
0:28:11 > 0:28:13people will walk away from that.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17I think you're absolutely right, Richard. They paid £85 for it.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20It'll be a struggle to get that for it. Really.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24- When you were a nipper... - Not that long ago!
0:28:24 > 0:28:29No, quite! That's my point! Do you remember going to the sweetie shop
0:28:29 > 0:28:34and being presented with a fine Birmingham-made set of scales like these?
0:28:34 > 0:28:36I never looked at the scales.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40- You probably did!- I did!- I was looking at the liquorice allsorts!
0:28:40 > 0:28:46- Which came pre-packed!- What we have is something that would have stood on the shop counter.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50It's nicely authentic and old-fashioned.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54- Yes.- I think that they might make 30 or £40.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57Do you regard that as a bullish estimate?
0:28:57 > 0:29:02- That's as much as I'd expect them to make. I don't think it's conservative.- No, OK.
0:29:02 > 0:29:07£60 they paid, our lads. We have a trio here, in my view,
0:29:07 > 0:29:11of what might be termed really "sticky" objects
0:29:11 > 0:29:13in terms of making profits.
0:29:13 > 0:29:19- FRENCH ACCENT:- So for certain they're gonna need the bonus buy. Let's have a look.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23You spent £205, girls, which is magnificent.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26You gave Mark Stacey £95. What did he spend it on?
0:29:27 > 0:29:28This, Tim.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32Now, this is... No, don't laugh, girls. It's wonderful.
0:29:32 > 0:29:36It's a Royal Doulton stoneware soap dish
0:29:36 > 0:29:39especially made for Wright's Coal Tar Soap.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41It cost me £58.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43Right. OK.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47- What do you think, girls? - It was made for a soap?
0:29:47 > 0:29:51Wright's Coal Tar. All the information is on the bottom.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54I love that little dragonfly, don't you?
0:29:54 > 0:29:57- It looks really dunky.- Dunky?
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Sorry, Mark! Is this the kind of stuff you have in your house?
0:30:00 > 0:30:03- I would have that in my house. - Really?
0:30:03 > 0:30:07This is the girl who bought the tobacco scales!
0:30:07 > 0:30:11- Well, I just...- OK. How much do you think it will make?
0:30:11 > 0:30:16Well, they do vary. It could, on a good day, make 60 or £70.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18- Look at his eyes! - But on a bad day...
0:30:20 > 0:30:22- Right.- You obviously don't like it much!
0:30:22 > 0:30:26That doesn't matter. Don't decide now. Decide later.
0:30:26 > 0:30:31For the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks of the soap dish.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34Well, Richard, one soap dish.
0:30:34 > 0:30:39I think that's quite a pretty piece. The fact that it's Doulton will appeal to collectors.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43I don't think anyone who buys this will put it in their bathroom.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45- No?- I don't think so. It's too nice for that.
0:30:45 > 0:30:49No chips or marks on it. The glaze is even. Nicely marked on the base.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51I see that making 30 to £50.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53So enthusiastic. Brilliant.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57£58 was paid by Mark Stacey as his bonus buy.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00We won't tell him about your estimate, all right?
0:31:00 > 0:31:02Keep that quiet for a bit!
0:31:02 > 0:31:05That's it for the reds. Now the blue team.
0:31:05 > 0:31:10Their first item is this German frightfully elaborate mantel clock,
0:31:10 > 0:31:12like it's just come out of the showroom!
0:31:12 > 0:31:16It's a test of time that has not stood the test of time very well.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18Because when one looks at it closely,
0:31:18 > 0:31:22there are all sorts of amendments and repairs to it
0:31:22 > 0:31:26which I think will put people off a little.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30What is definitely clear is that one of the finials on the case
0:31:30 > 0:31:33has been completely remade
0:31:33 > 0:31:37and also it's suspiciously glossy and shiny.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39It's architectural. It's quite fun.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41- It is.- But terribly shiny!
0:31:41 > 0:31:45Clock collectors, as you know, are terribly concerned about originality.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48- Even if they're only spending 50 or £60.- Oh, yes.
0:31:48 > 0:31:54- Which is probably all this will make on a good day.- 50 to £60, you reckon? £70 paid.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56The next item are the pair of plaques.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59Apparently Copeland Garrett plaques.
0:31:59 > 0:32:04- So collectible relief-moulded plaques with these classical subjects.- Yes.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07Rather ruined frames, aren't they?
0:32:07 > 0:32:10The frames are not what people will buy them for.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14- The collector might be more interested in what's in the frame. - Yes.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17Although the frames do give them a nice period feel
0:32:17 > 0:32:21- and I'd rather have them in frames like that than modern frames.- Yes.
0:32:21 > 0:32:26- The plaques are not too bad condition.- No, and nice subjects, too.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30- How much do you think they're worth? - They might make 60 to £80, if we're in luck.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Yeah. £95 paid.
0:32:32 > 0:32:37Now we come to these jokers. A pair of brand-new candlesticks.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41- The only thing classical about them is the shape of the columns.- Yes.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44- Probably not even ten years old.- No.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47But again, they're a pair of candlesticks and people like that.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51But the intriguing thing about them is that they are stamped "Linley".
0:32:51 > 0:32:54The quality is a little surprising in that respect.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58Not as good as you'd expect from this...
0:32:58 > 0:33:02He's associated with exceptional quality of craftsmanship.
0:33:02 > 0:33:06Maybe these are not the best reflection of what he does best.
0:33:06 > 0:33:11They're still a handsome pair of candlesticks and I think they might make 80 to £100.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14Brilliant. £120 was paid.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16So we're all on the right frame.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19Just in case, we'll look at the bonus buy. Here it comes.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23Paul and Brian, you spent a magnificent £285.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27You gave him over there £15 only.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29- Difficult job, that, Philip?- Yes.
0:33:29 > 0:33:34It was very difficult to find anything for sale for £15.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Here's the bonus buy. Oh. Yes.
0:33:37 > 0:33:42- Wo!- It is a rather neat barometer.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44A little aneroid barometer.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48Which I thought for 15 quid wasn't too bad at all.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Absolutely fantastic for 15 quid.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53- Do you want to handle the merchandise?- Definitely.
0:33:53 > 0:33:57- We were looking at a barometer. - We were.- Not quite that size,
0:33:57 > 0:34:00and you say it works.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03The inevitable question, will it make a profit at auction?
0:34:03 > 0:34:06I think there's quite clearly a profit in it.
0:34:06 > 0:34:12I'm gonna predict a ten or £15 profit, I would have thought.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14- Excellent.- Well done, Philip.
0:34:14 > 0:34:19They both love it. They both think £15 is a very inexpensive price.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21You don't have to decide now. Decide later.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24But for viewers at home, let's find out
0:34:24 > 0:34:28whether the auctioneer thinks the barometer is set fair or not.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30So, is all set fair for the auction?
0:34:30 > 0:34:34Well, it says rain. And rain suggests disappointment.
0:34:34 > 0:34:40It's the sort of thing that would hang in many homes. It doesn't have the rarity or scarcity appeal
0:34:40 > 0:34:42to give it a great deal of market.
0:34:42 > 0:34:47- Gives you something to tap at the bottom of the stairs.- But it's set firmly at rain.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50So low is the pressure and low is the expectation.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53- I think ten to £20 at best. - Really?- Mmm.
0:34:53 > 0:34:57He only paid £15, so it's pretty well spot on, isn't it?
0:34:57 > 0:34:59- He'll be all right with that. - Absolutely.
0:34:59 > 0:35:05Are you an optimist or a pessimist? Is your cup half empty or half full?
0:35:05 > 0:35:09My cup is always half full. But that empties it pretty quickly!
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Well said!
0:35:25 > 0:35:29Wendy and Shelley, we're at the auctioneers. How nice is that?
0:35:29 > 0:35:30- Very!- Yes.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32- Are you excited?- Yes.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34Ever been to an auction before?
0:35:34 > 0:35:36No. Car auctions.
0:35:36 > 0:35:37Well, this is just the same
0:35:37 > 0:35:43- and we hope people will pay thousands for your objects. - Thousands and thousands, Tim.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46First up, the carpet bowls. Here they come.
0:35:46 > 0:35:50Lot 187. Boxed set of carpet bowls with instructions.

0:37:00 > 0:37:02I'm selling now at £40.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04All done at 40?
0:37:04 > 0:37:07That's not so bad. £40. Minus 20.
0:37:07 > 0:37:0950, 70, £98.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Minus 98 overall.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14OK. Shall we go for the...
0:37:14 > 0:37:16What are you gonna do about the dish?
0:37:16 > 0:37:19- Let's go for it.- Why not. Go for it. - Sure you want to do this?
0:37:19 > 0:37:22- I think so.- I don't know.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24Sure you want to go with this?
0:37:24 > 0:37:27- It's the difference between winning! - Make your mind up!
0:37:27 > 0:37:29I want to do it. Let's do it.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32- They said that...- Quickly!
0:37:32 > 0:37:34- Fine. Do it.- You're going with it?
0:37:34 > 0:37:36Going with the bonus buy. Here it is.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39Lot 193. Doulton stoneware soap dish.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42Shall we say £50 for that? £50 for it?
0:37:42 > 0:37:45At £50 if you will.
0:37:45 > 0:37:4840, then to start. 40 I see. Who'll say five?
0:37:48 > 0:37:51It's at £40. On my far right at 40.

0:38:19 > 0:38:22- OK.- If it goes really badly for the blues, you could be ahead.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25- How lovely would that be? - Marvellous.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28- Don't tell the blues a thing. - We won't.- Not a thing.

0:40:37 > 0:40:40What a helter-skelter that was!
0:40:40 > 0:40:44- What a helter-skelter. - We nearly done it, didn't we?
0:40:44 > 0:40:49Nearly. Minus 30. No shame in that. What about the barometer? Are you going with it?
0:40:49 > 0:40:53- We loved the aneroid barometer. - You're going with it.- We've got to.
0:40:53 > 0:40:57Boys, you've done incredibly well. Even at minus £30.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00We're going with the bonus buy, the barometer. Here it comes.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03Lot 215. Mahogany aneroid barometer.

0:41:22 > 0:41:24Ten. There's a storm brewing.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26Minus £5 on that.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29Overall, minus £35.
0:41:29 > 0:41:30That's not so bad.
0:41:30 > 0:41:35- Don't tell the reds a thing.- We won't.- Don't tell the reds a thing.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39We will reveal all as to whether that's a winning score in a moment.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52I think both teams know they've made whopping losses.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55What they don't know is the scale of the losses.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58That's what I'm going to reveal now.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02The team that has a seriously ginormous loss
0:42:02 > 0:42:05is actually the reds.
0:42:08 > 0:42:09Knew it!
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Pretty good, minus £106, girls!
0:42:12 > 0:42:15- If you're gonna do it, do it in style.- You've done that!
0:42:15 > 0:42:19It says here, "minus, minus, minus, minus, minus."
0:42:19 > 0:42:21All I can say is bad luck.
0:42:21 > 0:42:26- But you've enjoyed it, yes? - Absolutely.- £106 is quite a score!
0:42:26 > 0:42:29Now, the victors.
0:42:29 > 0:42:34They're looking kind of cocky, but still managed to lose £35.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37It started off so beautifully, frankly.
0:42:37 > 0:42:41Paul, with your mantel clock you made a stonking profit of £40.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44£40 profit on the first item
0:42:44 > 0:42:46and we thought you were in the money today
0:42:46 > 0:42:49but it went downhill, didn't it?
0:42:49 > 0:42:52Down the line it was minuses, but nevertheless, you won today.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55I congratulate you with only minus £35.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57Just don't do it again!
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Join us soon for some more Bargain Hunting, yes?
0:43:00 > 0:43:01Yes!
