0:00:06 > 0:00:10Ah, there you are. It's time to get up and go bargain hunting.
0:00:38 > 0:00:43Alexandra Palace here in leafy north London is over 100 years old.
0:00:43 > 0:00:48It survived two World Wars and a couple of fires but like the phoenix
0:00:48 > 0:00:54rising from the ashes, it's still a major entertainment centre today.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58And that's good news for us
0:00:58 > 0:01:02because the main exhibition hall is full to the brim
0:01:02 > 0:01:07with the hottest antiques and collectables money can buy.
0:01:07 > 0:01:08Here are the numbers.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Each team gets £300... an hour to shop...
0:01:11 > 0:01:16with two experts... to hopefully find three objects to sell on
0:01:16 > 0:01:18at auction and make a profit.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Let's hope they don't get their fingers burnt!
0:01:28 > 0:01:31For the Reds today we've got Daniel and Lewis
0:01:31 > 0:01:33and Blues are Piers and Philip.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34Welcome to Bargain Hunt.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Now Daniel, you're good friends with Lewis but it's a bit more
0:01:38 > 0:01:40than just a good friendship, isn't it?
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Yes. We've been married for three years.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- Have you? Congratulations. - Thank you very much.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Now I can tell from your voice you don't come from round here.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50- Where do you come from? - From America, from Boston.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Were you married in America?
0:01:52 > 0:01:54- In America, yeah.- Oh, brilliant!
0:01:54 > 0:01:58And, Lewis, you particularly wanted to be a Red Team player today?
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Yeah, definitely. Red is my favourite colour.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04Now you're an extremely tall man but if we look down,
0:02:04 > 0:02:07we can see that there is another reason why you're fond of red?
0:02:07 > 0:02:11The Wizard of Oz is one of my favourite movies.
0:02:11 > 0:02:17After I came out of the closet, I decided to do a drag queen show
0:02:17 > 0:02:21based on Dorothy and that's where the red shoes come from.
0:02:21 > 0:02:22- Wizard of Oz?- Wizard of Oz...
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- And they are therefore Dorothy's shoes?- Yeah, definitely.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27And what do you collect, Lewis?
0:02:27 > 0:02:31I used to collect coins but actually after the European Union,
0:02:31 > 0:02:36everything got a bit boring because every country had the same coins.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- Yes, this wretched Euro. - Yeah. I decided to give to my cousin.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41- The whole collection? - The whole collection!
0:02:41 > 0:02:43That is a big mistake, Lewis.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45- Maybe.- You shouldn't give anything away.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47We don't want anything given away today!
0:02:47 > 0:02:49- No problem.- Good luck, you chaps.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51- Thanks.- Now, the best of friends, Piers and Philip.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Piers, you're really into your music, aren't you?
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Yes, that's right. I'm a music promoter and I've always been
0:02:57 > 0:02:59in bands and stuff throughout my life.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02And what about all the clobber that goes with it?
0:03:02 > 0:03:03Keen on the equipment?
0:03:03 > 0:03:06I've got rather too much of that as well, it has to be said.
0:03:06 > 0:03:11I've got a sort of massive clutter of guitars and effects
0:03:11 > 0:03:15and in particular bulky reel-to-reel recorders
0:03:15 > 0:03:16which I've got too many of.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Well, I wouldn't know what a reel-to-reel was
0:03:18 > 0:03:22if it hit me sideways, if I'm being perfectly frank.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24It's kind of obsolete recording equipment.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- Fine. Old electric junk, really?- Yes.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28Lovely. OK, got that clear.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31But you like to watch Bargain Hunt, don't you?
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Yeah, well being a music promoter obviously it's late to bed
0:03:34 > 0:03:35and late to rise.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37So you get up about noon?
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Well, I like to think I get up a bit earlier than that,
0:03:40 > 0:03:43but you know, by the time I've had a cuppa and a bit of breakfast,
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Bargain Hunt might be creeping on!
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Half the student population, the first thing they watch
0:03:47 > 0:03:50when they get up is Bargain Hunt!
0:03:50 > 0:03:51It's a great way to start the day!
0:03:51 > 0:03:54But you've been mates for a long time, haven't you?
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Yes, it's been over 20 years now that we've known each other.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Some people get less for murder!
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Now you're supposed to have the Midas Touch, is that correct?
0:04:03 > 0:04:07Sometimes, yes, yes, I've always been lucky in life and, yeah,
0:04:07 > 0:04:09usually I do.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12But the Midas Touch has left you occasionally, hasn't it?
0:04:12 > 0:04:17It has. One time I did put a guitar into an auction and the bidding
0:04:17 > 0:04:21wasn't going particularly well so I thought I would nudge it along a bit
0:04:21 > 0:04:23and ended up buying my own guitar.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27- Did you?- A costly little mistake! - Rather a naughty thing to do!
0:04:27 > 0:04:30What sort of things do you collect?
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Well, I worked as a print designer for a while
0:04:33 > 0:04:38and I work with Disney, so I've got a collection of Mickey Mouse annuals
0:04:38 > 0:04:41from the 40s and 50s.
0:04:41 > 0:04:42Basically graphic-related material?
0:04:42 > 0:04:46Graphic-related material, with a bit of age to it.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Well, you never know what you'll find
0:04:48 > 0:04:51in a lovely fair like we have today.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56Now, the money moment - £300 apiece, there you go. Your experts await.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Normally I would send you running off, but today we're going to do
0:04:59 > 0:05:01something rather different.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Take it away, Dorothy!
0:05:03 > 0:05:07There is no place like Bargain Hunt, there is no place like Bargain Hunt,
0:05:07 > 0:05:09there is no place like Bargain Hunt!
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Wizard!
0:05:11 > 0:05:16# We're off to see the Wizard The wonderful Wizard of Oz
0:05:16 > 0:05:20# We hear he is a whiz of a wiz If ever a wiz there was
0:05:20 > 0:05:23# If ever, oh ever, a wiz there was The Wizard of Oz is one because
0:05:23 > 0:05:25# Because, because Because, because
0:05:25 > 0:05:26# Because... #
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Right, archive films over, lads.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Will the Blue Team's Midas Touch turn everything to gold
0:05:32 > 0:05:35or will the Reds shine on?
0:05:35 > 0:05:36Your hour starts...now.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- So what are you particularly looking at?- I don't know.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41I'd like to find a bit of silver...
0:05:41 > 0:05:43- something with a bit of natural value in it.- OK, OK.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46- To be on the safe side.- Right.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50That's great. It's a dog collar.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- Dog collar?- Yeah.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54135!
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- You wanted silver?- Yes.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02That's £195.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04You see I love these.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- £35!- Yes, but you've got to like it, not me!
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Let's find something you guys like.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Right, let's get onto the stall over here.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17What do you think about this?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- Quite different, isn't it? - That's interesting.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21Guinness!
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- No it's actually...- Polish!
0:06:24 > 0:06:27No, no, less of that and a bit more of that, I think!
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- All right, that's great! - Why do you like that?
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- I like Guinness! - You like Guinness! Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36It's an advertising clothes brush and I think it's just great!
0:06:36 > 0:06:39It's absolutely wicked and I actually think...
0:06:39 > 0:06:42I'm going to whisper cos I don't want them to hear...
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- it's quite cheap!- Yeah, £12! - It's actually quite cheap.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47What about asking them whether they think of going...
0:06:47 > 0:06:50I can see that making between £15 and £30.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54- Really?- Which in Bargain Hunt terms is like the best result of all time!
0:06:54 > 0:06:55Exactly, exactly.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- So are you going to ask him how much...- Definitely.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00- I'm going for.- A bit cheap, I think.
0:07:00 > 0:07:05All right. He said it's £12.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06How much can we buy this?
0:07:06 > 0:07:10- How much do I have on it? 12?- Yeah.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12I could do it for 8 for you.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- £8.- 8?
0:07:15 > 0:07:19- 6?- Oh, no, give him the money! - All right, all right!
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- Give him the money!- OK, definitely, definitely I will go for it!
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- All right. £8, that's fine.- OK.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28He's from Brazil! He's from Brazil, yeah!
0:07:28 > 0:07:30I get that cheaper!
0:07:32 > 0:07:34That's the first item for the Reds.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36It's cheap and cheerful
0:07:36 > 0:07:38but they should have a brush with a profit at auction.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Let's see what's caught David's eye for the Blue Team.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- Here we are.- OK, let's have a look.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- What do you think?- There is something about it, there is, yeah.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- It's quite appealing.- From the graphic art point of view,
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- it's quite good.- It's stylish...
0:07:53 > 0:07:55What I like about this, it's still functional.
0:07:55 > 0:07:56It's a desk tidy.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Could have been made for a child,
0:07:58 > 0:08:01so they could put their crayons there or their pens there
0:08:01 > 0:08:06and maybe it's the brother or the father had a small business
0:08:06 > 0:08:09and they've actually done this inlay here which is beautifully done
0:08:09 > 0:08:13and rather nice for a child, the sort of cockerel for getting up
0:08:13 > 0:08:17in the morning and the owl for going to bed, it's a nice combination.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- I think this is good. I like this immensely.- It is, very good.
0:08:20 > 0:08:21Hello. How are you?
0:08:21 > 0:08:24What's the price on that, darling?
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- How about 90? - Is there any chance you might just
0:08:27 > 0:08:30take it down a bit, as that's a big chunk of our money?
0:08:30 > 0:08:34- Yes, I know. - I'd like to see it round about 60.
0:08:34 > 0:08:35How about 75?
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- Split the difference at 70?- OK.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40- He's good!- Now what do you think?
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- Well, it's useful. - I think it's useful.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- Look, it's quirky!- How much could you see it making, though?
0:08:46 > 0:08:49I think it could make close on a hundred - I hope so.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50- Let's go for it!- What do you think?
0:08:50 > 0:08:54I dunno. I'd quite like to have a little look round but it might go.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- I think it's good.- Yeah?
0:08:56 > 0:09:01- Well, I'm nothing if not a democrat, so let's go with it.- Two to one.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- Let's do the deal. - Where has she gone?
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- At £50, that's very good! - THEY LAUGH
0:09:09 > 0:09:10Ooh, David, you cheeky boy!
0:09:10 > 0:09:15The first item down for the Blues - not bad for ten minutes' work!
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- Do you know what it's for?- Flowers.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20- Ah, really?- Spittoon.- I like it.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22- How much is it? - It's lovely, isn't it?
0:09:22 > 0:09:24- It's a spittoon!- How much is this?
0:09:24 > 0:09:28- How much is it, sir? - I think my very, very best is 380.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Out of our price-range, but it's lovely.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- Isn't that a great thing!- Yeah.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Now guys, our time is rocking on so we've got to wander on.
0:09:42 > 0:09:43How are you getting on?
0:09:43 > 0:09:48- Quite well, not bad so far.- We've bought our first thing.- You haven't!
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- We have indeed!- Listen, you've done a quarter of an hour, right,
0:09:51 > 0:09:53so you've got three quarters of an hour to go.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Well, these guys are into arts and crafts.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57That's great, isn't it?
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Yes, they're very crafty and very arty!
0:09:59 > 0:10:01- THEY LAUGH - Oh, very good!
0:10:01 > 0:10:03See you, Dave.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Instant profit!
0:10:12 > 0:10:17- It doesn't work! - Here today, gone tomorrow, eh, Phil?
0:10:17 > 0:10:19I think we're quite happy to spend most of the money.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Well, we want to leave him some, don't we?
0:10:22 > 0:10:23Yeah, leave him some!
0:10:23 > 0:10:25A couple of quid!
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Do you think you've got the Midas Touch?
0:10:29 > 0:10:33Have you got a fancy pair of shoes you want to show off on telly?
0:10:33 > 0:10:36If you have, then contact us at...
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Got it?
0:10:43 > 0:10:45I love globes, chaps.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47- Yeah, this one.- Yeah?
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Interesting.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Does it light up, or something?
0:10:52 > 0:10:54I've no idea...
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- It's a radio, isn't it! - It's a radio, yeah.- Is it working?
0:10:57 > 0:11:01- Interesting.- Let's just see if we can see what's on, shall we?
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Apparently we get all sorts of letters...
0:11:03 > 0:11:05I can't stand that old-fashioned stuff, can you?
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- It's awful! We'll switch that off! - Disgusting!
0:11:08 > 0:11:09Don't know who that was.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13I don't know who that was at all. Let's have a look...
0:11:13 > 0:11:14How old do you think it is?
0:11:14 > 0:11:15I was just going to have a look.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Transistor Six Fleetwood.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20I think it's definitely... It's gotta be early '60s, hasn't it?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22- OK.- Something like that, '60s or '70s?
0:11:22 > 0:11:26- Yeah.- I think it's really good and it works... We've proved that.- Aha.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28We've got Radio Wonnacott on it.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31What do you think? What's the price on it?
0:11:31 > 0:11:34The price is £60.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35Ooh, £60.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39- A big ooooh! But it's a cool thing, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42What do you think it would grab at auction?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44- I think at auction that is £30 to £50 worth.- Really? OK.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48So you need to have a word with the dealer and see if he'll help you.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- I think it's a bit of fun.- Yeah.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52It is quite nice, yeah. Something different.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54- Do you want to buy it? - Yeah, let's go for it.- Yeah.
0:11:54 > 0:11:55It is different.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59- We need to get that price down.- OK. - Definitely.- I'll go over this time.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00I'll leave it to Daniel.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04- I'll see what I can do.- I can sense blood! I'm going to leave you alone!
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- Thanks.- Let's go, Dan. - Let's go and see.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09At £45 for the globe radio,
0:12:09 > 0:12:13those boys sure seem tuned in to a bargain.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Over to the Blues, now, and it's all about good wood.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18It's like a Black Forest detail.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- Yeah, it looks German to me.- It is.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26- £75.- That's not bad. That's quite nice, actually.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28I like the bear. The bear is good.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34There's an old drinking buddy!
0:12:34 > 0:12:35Yes. Again it's wood, though.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37I mean we keep looking at wood.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Phil knows what he doesn't want, but with half an hour gone,
0:12:40 > 0:12:44is there time for him to find out what he's actually looking for?
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Are these robots?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Yeah, they've got that look.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52- It's the last thing, I must confess, I would have picked up.- Right.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54It's wonderful when you open it up, isn't it?
0:12:54 > 0:12:56You see all the sort of interior.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58- Yeah.- I like the look.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02Well, it's very emblematic of the sort of 1950s, 1960s, isn't it?
0:13:02 > 0:13:05- It is, yeah, and...- All those movies like Forbidden Planet
0:13:05 > 0:13:07and The Thing From Outer Space, yeah.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Sci-fi, it's evil-looking, it's great!
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- It's all part and parcel, isn't it? - It's a little bit 'Metropolis'.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Like the Fritz Lang type thing.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19It's nicely aged. I find it quite an incredible piece.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Yeah, I like that...it's got style.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26I think we should go for it, but we've got to get it for a good price.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28- OK, what's the asking price?- 95.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30- £95? OK.- Yes.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32They do appear in price guides...
0:13:32 > 0:13:33I've seen them...
0:13:33 > 0:13:35but it's not in my interests.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37- Right.- So I can't really advise you.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40If you've got experience and you know what to negotiate,
0:13:40 > 0:13:41go ahead and buy it.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45It has got that look but I think we need to get it down quite a bit.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Yeah. Let's put it down and go away and think about it.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50- We'll have a think... - OK.- And see if...
0:13:50 > 0:13:52I'm quite sold on it, but...
0:13:52 > 0:13:53I like it, I like it, too.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57- It's got that good look.- I would say your first gut reactions...
0:13:57 > 0:13:59if you're interested, go for it.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05- Guys, we're going to have to go at a bit of a pace.- OK.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08With the Blues dithering, the Reds struggling to find anything
0:14:08 > 0:14:15and only 20 minutes left, it's time to make some decisions, lads.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18I like the look, l like it, but we need to get it right down.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Right, what do we want to pay for it, then? It's on for 95.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25I think if we could get it for about 65. Do you think you can do that?
0:14:25 > 0:14:27- I'll have a go. - Well, come on, let's go.
0:14:27 > 0:14:33After all that umming and aahing, the Blues manage to knock a whopping
0:14:33 > 0:14:36£30 off the robot, but time is ticking on.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Both teams have 15 minutes left.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Have you got anything in mind for your third buy,
0:14:42 > 0:14:44because you're going to have to get on?
0:14:44 > 0:14:47We're still looking, we've still got a little more to go.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48- Yeah...- Only a quarter of an hour.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- We're on the case.- Yeah, yeah. - These boys are cool.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54- Only a quarter of an hour!- OK. - Stop worrying me!- I'm not!
0:14:54 > 0:14:55- You are!- It's only a quarter of an hour.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- Sorry, we'll get there. - Do you feel the pressure?
0:14:58 > 0:15:00- I do a bit, yeah.- I really do now.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02- It's terrible.- It is. - An hour is not long enough.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- And Philip drags us everywhere! - He drags you everywhere!
0:15:05 > 0:15:08- Philip drags you everywhere! - Everywhere!
0:15:08 > 0:15:11He certainly does! You never know what he's going to drag out next!
0:15:16 > 0:15:17I quite like these boats,
0:15:17 > 0:15:20because having a narrow boat myself, I...
0:15:20 > 0:15:22That's not a narrow boat, is it?
0:15:22 > 0:15:24- No, no... - With aspirations for a yacht!
0:15:24 > 0:15:26What, an ocean-going yacht?
0:15:26 > 0:15:28So, Phil, when you've got your yacht,
0:15:28 > 0:15:30would you have these in the state room?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Quite possibly!
0:15:32 > 0:15:34I think they could make £50.
0:15:34 > 0:15:35What do you think? It's up to you?
0:15:35 > 0:15:39If we were to buy both of these boats, what's your best price?
0:15:39 > 0:15:42The very best would be...
0:15:43 > 0:15:46£54, which would be 10%, yeah?
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- 54.- OK. Well, let's have a think, maybe pop back.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53OK, that's good.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55- We'll have a discussion. Thank you.- OK.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01The boat sailed away from the Blue Team, so they still have
0:16:01 > 0:16:02to find their final item,
0:16:02 > 0:16:06but with only five minutes, has the pressure finally got to Phil?
0:16:06 > 0:16:11This looks like it's... quite different.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13- I think it's a cool bit of furniture.- Yeah, yeah.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14Do you sit on it?
0:16:14 > 0:16:18It's a little telephone table, but this is a real gamble, all right?
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Yeah.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23This is some sort of a gamble because...
0:16:23 > 0:16:25I mean, the upholstery is still all right.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Well, it's probably been replaced.
0:16:27 > 0:16:28OK.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31What it's missing here, it should have, I would think...
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- Yeah, rubber stoppers there. - Yeah, rubber pads.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37But it's not too onerous to get those.
0:16:37 > 0:16:42It's priced up at 115 quid. I think if you have a real bad day
0:16:42 > 0:16:47in the sale room, it's like £40 worth, £50 worth.
0:16:47 > 0:16:53If you have a result, and two people take a shine to it, you know,
0:16:53 > 0:16:56it might make a bit more, but there's another issue coming
0:16:56 > 0:16:58and the other issue is, we've got about five minutes left.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01We'll take a gamble.
0:17:01 > 0:17:02Have a word with the dealer
0:17:02 > 0:17:04and hope he's really going to help you.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06- OK.- Uh-huh.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08So let's call him.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- Excuse me, sir.- Hi.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Can you do any better than 115 on the price for this?
0:17:14 > 0:17:17I can do 95.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- Not less than that?- I'm afraid not.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23- I'm here to make a profit, too, lads.- Yeah, absolutely right, yes.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27- It's a very stylish thing. - It's retro, for people who want...
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Perfectly upholstered for the Red Team!
0:17:29 > 0:17:30That's why they're...
0:17:30 > 0:17:35If you're lucky, you might make a smidgeon of a profit.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37If you're unlucky, you take a bath!
0:17:37 > 0:17:39- Let's go for it.- Yeah?
0:17:39 > 0:17:44I like it. I think we have a fighting chance yeah, definitely.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45- Yeah.- All right, so £95 it is.
0:17:45 > 0:17:4795, great. Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:17:47 > 0:17:53Good lord, chaps! I do hope you know what you're doing!
0:17:53 > 0:17:58We're running a bit low on time, aren't we? We're going to have to find something soon.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- You've already done exceedingly well.- Do you think so?
0:18:01 > 0:18:03- Indeed so!- I'm not so sure!
0:18:03 > 0:18:07Something has caught Piers's eye, but with only a couple of minutes
0:18:07 > 0:18:11remaining, he's after some guidance from David.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12We're getting short on time.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16We've got to make a decision. I do like them - they're very stylish.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18- It says quality.- Yeah, I really like the look of them.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21What I like about them is the style.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25- Yeah, they've got the look, haven't they?- They have got the look.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27They're not conventional.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- No.- Now you were talking earlier on about sort of Fritz Lang's
0:18:30 > 0:18:32- film, Metropolis?- Yeah.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34This is slap bang in that period.
0:18:34 > 0:18:41The hallmark is Sheffield and it's Thomas Bradbury & Sons, 1926.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44I think if we can get it for the right price we should go for it.
0:18:44 > 0:18:45I like them.
0:18:45 > 0:18:50For me, it's between these and the yachts that we saw,
0:18:50 > 0:18:53and I think we need to get guided by you.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- All right. Out of all of them, yachts are fun, they're cheap.- Yep.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58This is quality.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Yeah, I think we should go with this.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04Right. Well, if you're interested, go for them and negotiate.
0:19:04 > 0:19:05Right, how much are they on for?
0:19:05 > 0:19:11- They're on for £95. You need to get them around about sort of 75, 70, less if you can manage.- Right.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13- I like them. Let's do it.- Let's go.
0:19:13 > 0:19:14Best of luck.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Phew! Just in time!
0:19:17 > 0:19:21The Blues got their silver for £65.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26Look, time's up. Let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought.
0:19:27 > 0:19:33Bottoms up, Daniel and Lewis, paid £8 for the advertising brush.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39Turn on, tune in but for heaven's sake don't drop out...
0:19:39 > 0:19:42£45 for the retro radio.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46And finally, I think I'll need to sit down
0:19:46 > 0:19:50after they spent £95 on this monster!
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Now, Lewis and Daniel, did you have a good time?
0:19:52 > 0:19:54- Yeah, great time. - Great, thanks.- Oh, great.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Now which is your favourite piece, Lewis?
0:19:56 > 0:19:58It was the golden globe radio.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Golden globe radio... What about you, Daniel?
0:20:00 > 0:20:04- The Guinness clothes brush. - OK. Which piece is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:20:04 > 0:20:05I believe the Guinness.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07- The Guinness?- Definitely.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10All right, you're certain on that? Good. You spent £148.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Now you're giving me £152 of leftover lolly.
0:20:13 > 0:20:14All right.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16There you go.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18There we go, £152.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Thank you very much. Now, Philip,
0:20:21 > 0:20:24different day for you, I would have thought?
0:20:24 > 0:20:28Oh, yes! I'm thinking of getting some red sparkly high-heel shoes
0:20:28 > 0:20:30but I'm not really sure I've got the calves for it!
0:20:30 > 0:20:34And also you might find, old boy, difficult to get that kind
0:20:34 > 0:20:37- of extra wide fitting, do you know what I mean?- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39So any ideas what you're going to go and buy?
0:20:39 > 0:20:41I'm going to lighten their darkness.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44- Are you?- Mmm.- I think there's a bit of a hint, there.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- Well, you never know. - There usually is.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Good luck, Phil, anyway. Let's us check out what the Blues bought.
0:20:49 > 0:20:55This artsy-crafty desk tidy cost £70,
0:20:55 > 0:20:59but will there be a tidy profit for Philip and Piers come auction time?
0:20:59 > 0:21:05They weren't sure about the robot but they loved it anyway...for £65.
0:21:05 > 0:21:10And every cloud has a silver lining... £65 for the cutlery set.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Now, Philip and Piers, did you have a good time?
0:21:15 > 0:21:17- Absolutely brilliant. - Really good fun.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Which is your favourite piece?
0:21:19 > 0:21:20I think it has to be the robot.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22That's your favourite?
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- OK. What about you, Piers?- I'd go with the robot as well, I think.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28All right, fine. Which piece is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:21:28 > 0:21:30- I think the spoon and fork.- Yep.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33- The silver spoon and fork - it's quality.- Mm-hm.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Well, if you agree - brilliant!
0:21:35 > 0:21:39That's very clever. Anyway, you spent £200 which is fine.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41£100 of leftover lolly...
0:21:41 > 0:21:43you don't like passing it over, Philip, do you?
0:21:43 > 0:21:45David, what are you going to do?
0:21:45 > 0:21:46Well, I've got an idea, actually.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49These guys are very, very pleasant to be with.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52If you wanted drinking partners, let's say on a Tuesday evening,
0:21:52 > 0:21:54these are the chaps you'd go for.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Full of interests and they've had so much activity in their lives,
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- they ought to write a book. - I think they'd be good at it.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Excellent, particularly on music.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Anyway, good luck with your bonus buy, David.
0:22:05 > 0:22:12I'm off for a stroll down the Cromwell Road, to the Victoria and Albert Museum. Stand by!
0:22:17 > 0:22:21Today I'm at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and ahead of me
0:22:21 > 0:22:24is the Cromwell Road facade.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28The great archway was designed to reflect and celebrate
0:22:28 > 0:22:32the magnificent achievements of the world's arts and craftsmen.
0:22:36 > 0:22:41I've come here specifically today to look at the work of an artist
0:22:41 > 0:22:44who is certainly worthy of being celebrated.
0:22:44 > 0:22:49He's an Englishmen, an architect and often described as the finest
0:22:49 > 0:22:54of the Victorian art architects. His name...William Burges.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06Burges embarked on an extensive tour throughout Europe
0:23:06 > 0:23:10and what he saw affected his designs,
0:23:10 > 0:23:13in particular the way in which he approached furniture.
0:23:13 > 0:23:18In this, the celebrated Yatman cabinet, we can see
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Medievalism oozing from every pore.
0:23:21 > 0:23:27Look at that steeply pitched roof, the detailing on the front.
0:23:27 > 0:23:32You almost feel as if you could be in the heart of Medieval Bruges.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36But if you think this cabinet is good, you ain't seen nothing yet!
0:23:41 > 0:23:47Burges totally rejected mechanical forms of furniture production.
0:23:47 > 0:23:52What he wanted was Medievalism, a return to the Medieval guild system
0:23:52 > 0:23:56where individual craftsmen belonged to a guild where they became expert
0:23:56 > 0:24:01and then the guilds co-operated in the production of luxury products,
0:24:01 > 0:24:07like this washstand which was made and designed by Burges in 1880.
0:24:07 > 0:24:13The top pediment here is castellated as if we were in a Medieval fortress
0:24:13 > 0:24:16with two round turrets on the corners,
0:24:16 > 0:24:20as if about to repel all borders.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24The next section is very gothic, with these cusped,
0:24:24 > 0:24:27quatrefoiled, mirrored-back apertures
0:24:27 > 0:24:34and in between, long-tailed green lizards crawling through foliage.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38The next section has a series of platforms, each of which are inset
0:24:38 > 0:24:41with gorgeous Algerian onyx
0:24:41 > 0:24:45and down below, sitting in an Algerian onyx surface,
0:24:45 > 0:24:49is the marble washbasin itself.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52This looks like a piece of ordinary Rosso Antico marble,
0:24:52 > 0:24:55but look carefully, because Burgess has got here
0:24:55 > 0:25:01an inlaid solid silver butterfly and below, two carp, swimming away
0:25:01 > 0:25:04at the bottom of the bowl.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07But probably the tour de force is the tap,
0:25:07 > 0:25:12because here is a goat, stooping as if to drink from the basin.
0:25:12 > 0:25:19It's got cloven feet and spewing out of its mouth is the supply pipe.
0:25:19 > 0:25:24The best bit of all has to be its body, inlaid with solid gold spots,
0:25:24 > 0:25:28so it's a kind of hybrid goat cheetah...
0:25:28 > 0:25:34Totally bizarre, totally original and totally William Burges.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38This is what they call "the business".
0:25:38 > 0:25:41The big question today is, of course, are our teams going to do
0:25:41 > 0:25:44"the business" over at the auction?
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Aww!
0:25:54 > 0:25:58Well, it's lovely to be in my home county, West Sussex...
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Wisborough Green, to be exact.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04Bellmans Sale Room with Jonathan Pratt Good morning, Jonathan.
0:26:04 > 0:26:05- Good morning.- Great to be here.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08- Great place to live this, isn't it? - Oh, it's superb!
0:26:08 > 0:26:13Daniel and Lewis, their first item is the Guinness brush,
0:26:13 > 0:26:14found by Lewis.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16What do you think he paid for it?
0:26:16 > 0:26:19I mean personally, if he paid a tenner for it...
0:26:19 > 0:26:21- He paid 8, actually. - Paid £8, did he?
0:26:21 > 0:26:24So, not a lot of money but it's a collectable, isn't it?
0:26:24 > 0:26:27- It reminds me of my grandmother, that.- Really?
0:26:27 > 0:26:31- At 11 o'clock every day she'd have a Guinness!- Would she really?
0:26:31 > 0:26:34And by the time she got to lunch, she'd had a few, had she?
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Yes, she was on the champagne by then, anyway!
0:26:36 > 0:26:39So if you had to put an estimate on that, what would you put on it?
0:26:39 > 0:26:43- Well, my estimate, let's say, on that is...- Yes, your estimate...
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Because obviously our minimum bid is £10, I feel we'll
0:26:45 > 0:26:48probably be able to get the minimum bid, just about, for it.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50- About £10?- Yeah.- It's just a bit of fun.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- Absolutely.- Now the next object is this monster...
0:26:53 > 0:26:57this chromium plated jobby which certainly ain't 1930s?
0:26:57 > 0:27:02Ah, well, personally I think has a sort of '60s feel,
0:27:02 > 0:27:04bit of Modernism going in there.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07People like modern style, don't they, but I don't know...
0:27:07 > 0:27:09it's in living memory.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Do people want to put this in their house again?
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- £20 to £40 I reckon.- Really?
0:27:14 > 0:27:18£95 paid by Philip Serrell for this.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20I think it's going to be difficult, don't you?
0:27:20 > 0:27:22I think so.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24I'm getting a very tight feeling coming on.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26OK, nurse, nurse!
0:27:26 > 0:27:32Now the next fab item is this little spherical transistor radio.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36This is what a teenager would have been gagging for in the '60s!
0:27:36 > 0:27:38- Wow!- Philip thought it was really fab, man!
0:27:38 > 0:27:43- Frankly, I don't really rate it very much.- Yeah, you don't? What's your estimate?
0:27:43 > 0:27:45£10...£10 to £20.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49£20, right. £45 paid on that, so we've got some whopping great gaps
0:27:49 > 0:27:53here, haven't we, really, what with the radio and the telephone table?
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Their only beacon of hope is the £8 Guinness brush,
0:27:56 > 0:28:02which is not going to help them out of their £148 hole, I wouldn't say!
0:28:02 > 0:28:06So they're gonna need their bonus buy. Let's go and have a look at it.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10Daniel and Lewis, you spent £148.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14- Correct.- Leaving Philip Serrell with £152. What did he spend it on?
0:28:14 > 0:28:16I'm going to light their darkness, Tim. Look at that!
0:28:16 > 0:28:21A little wooden table lamp but, a little wooden table lamp
0:28:21 > 0:28:22- with a mouse on it.- Aah!
0:28:22 > 0:28:26Oh! That's the gentleman that makes those chairs!
0:28:26 > 0:28:29That is that gentleman that makes those chairs
0:28:29 > 0:28:32and he is known as Mouseman, surprisingly enough!
0:28:32 > 0:28:37Robert Thompson of Kilburn and he sort of produced this type of ware
0:28:37 > 0:28:41throughout the 20th century and you can probably go and buy these today
0:28:41 > 0:28:44but I paid £110 for that and his stuff is very, very collectable.
0:28:44 > 0:28:45Very collectable.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49I think it will make anywhere between £100 and £150.
0:28:49 > 0:28:50- OK.- That's my shop for you.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52- Let's see it.- It's different.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56I think the first thing to notice is how crisp it is, isn't it?
0:28:56 > 0:28:59- Yes, it is.- Look how crisply carved the thing is!- Yeah.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02- So, guys, do you like it? - It's different.- Does it appeal?
0:29:02 > 0:29:03To me it does, yeah.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05Yeah? What about you, Lewis?
0:29:05 > 0:29:09It's not my cup of tea, but I can go for it.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12- You can go for it?- Yeah. I mean we've got to take a risk.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15If it was made out of Brazilian hardwood, that would have really got you going!
0:29:15 > 0:29:16I'm sure it will.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19Well, I'm sorry about that, but you don't decide right now...
0:29:19 > 0:29:21but after the sale of your first three items,
0:29:21 > 0:29:23but for the viewers at home,
0:29:23 > 0:29:26let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about a bit of Mouseman.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29Well, there we go... a bit of Mouseman for you.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33Well, there's a great collectors' market for this and he did very well
0:29:33 > 0:29:34in his lifetime.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37He started off as poor as a church mouse and ended up...
0:29:37 > 0:29:39- Rich as a...fat cat!- Yeah, exactly!
0:29:39 > 0:29:43The fact that the mouse is in high relief is a nice tough.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46Often later pieces of furniture had them in low relief,
0:29:46 > 0:29:49so literally they were sitting inside the wood a little bit more,
0:29:49 > 0:29:53but you can buy this on the internet for about £100 today.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Oh, can you? Oh, can you?
0:29:55 > 0:29:58- Yeah.- Well, old Serrell paid £110... it's his bonus buy.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02- Yeah.- So, do you think he's going to be lucky to get £110?
0:30:02 > 0:30:05- What's your estimate?- £50 to £80.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09Well, I'll tell you what we'll do. We'll put it on the telephone table.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12Perhaps that will attract somebody. Anyway, that's it for the Reds.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Now, for the Blues...
0:30:14 > 0:30:18Piers and Philip. What about that arts and craftsy bit?
0:30:18 > 0:30:21I think that's really fantastic, actually. I like the look...
0:30:21 > 0:30:27- Good.- Sort of real carved-out piece of walnut and this inlay is really quite nicely done.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31It would work terribly well with paperclips and odd pencils and pens
0:30:31 > 0:30:36and things you've got drifting around on your Arts and Crafts desk.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38What's your estimate?
0:30:38 > 0:30:39- £40 to £60.- They paid £70.- OK.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41But I've got a funny feeling about this.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45I think if there's anybody about with any taste and discernment,
0:30:45 > 0:30:46I can see that making £100.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49Somebody will think it's just me, gotta have it.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52Lots of Arts and Crafts houses in West Sussex, too.
0:30:52 > 0:30:53I mean you never know!
0:30:53 > 0:30:58Now, the tinplate toy - what a whacky thing to have next door
0:30:58 > 0:31:00to the Arts and Crafts dish, isn't it?
0:31:00 > 0:31:02What a contrast, eh? I like this.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05This is a 1960s Japanese tinplate robot.
0:31:05 > 0:31:10You could quite happily put this on your mantelpiece, in a cabinet next
0:31:10 > 0:31:14to another work of art and see this as being sort of iconic of the '60s.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17I quite agree with you. What do you think it's worth?
0:31:17 > 0:31:19I would say between £50 and £80.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22£65 paid, so I think that's quite a sensible amount to pay.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26What about the spoon and fork?
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Well, aren't they great!
0:31:28 > 0:31:31If that were a dinner service, a complete service,
0:31:31 > 0:31:32that would be fantastic.
0:31:32 > 0:31:36- Yeah.- That Modernist style would be superb and really sought-after.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39Yes...but even those two pieces are good fun.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41- Mmm.- £65 paid.
0:31:41 > 0:31:42I've priced it at £30 to £50.
0:31:42 > 0:31:43Well, there you go.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47Three very individual and slightly zany objects sitting next door
0:31:47 > 0:31:51to one another, all with potential, but they might need the bonus buy,
0:31:51 > 0:31:53so let's go and have a look at it.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Philip and Piers,
0:31:55 > 0:32:00you spent £200, which is fantastic. You gave £100 to David Barby.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04- Has he blown the lot...or not? - Oooh! Well, I wanted something...
0:32:04 > 0:32:06do you remember I said "writing their life story",
0:32:06 > 0:32:11so I thought they could buy a desk and have this as an inkwell on it.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14- Yep, yep..- Do you like it? - Pretty big desk!
0:32:14 > 0:32:17- Yes, Victorian mansion. - Can we have a look at it?
0:32:17 > 0:32:20Coalminer's sort of palace, or something like that.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23Something that Frankenstein might have had in his place?
0:32:23 > 0:32:26- Yes, yes, cobwebs, and that sort of thing.- Yeah...
0:32:26 > 0:32:29- Ready for Jonathan Hawker... - Cruella de Vil...
0:32:29 > 0:32:32It's got a little bit of damage here.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36I think that can easily be replaced, quite honestly, if you want to, yes.
0:32:36 > 0:32:37And the staining around here?
0:32:37 > 0:32:39- It's part and parcel of its history.- So...
0:32:39 > 0:32:41Want something perfect?
0:32:41 > 0:32:43All right, how much did you pay for it?
0:32:43 > 0:32:45- £25.- How much?
0:32:45 > 0:32:47I think it's an impressive lump.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49And how old is it, again?
0:32:49 > 0:32:54Probably middle of the Victorian period, but I think it's such an imposing piece.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57Well, there's certainly a lot of it!
0:32:57 > 0:33:01- Well, there is! - We'll think about that, I think!
0:33:01 > 0:33:03I think we'll have to...
0:33:03 > 0:33:05Well, that's the big thing.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07You don't have to decide right now, you'll decide later,
0:33:07 > 0:33:11but for viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks
0:33:11 > 0:33:12about David's little inkwell.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14Well, there's a monster!
0:33:14 > 0:33:16Isn't it a real hoofing monster!
0:33:16 > 0:33:17It certainly is!
0:33:17 > 0:33:20I mean, you can see Frankenstein in his study, all right.
0:33:20 > 0:33:26He's got this socking great desk, where does Frankenstein keep his ink? In an inkwell like this.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29He's going to write a letter to his mum?
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Yes, saying, "Send more blood!"
0:33:31 > 0:33:35- "I need a new ear!"- "I want more stakes!" Give us an estimate on it.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38- £30 to £40. - Yeah, 30 to 40 is it, is it?- Yeah.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40£25 - David Barby went for that,
0:33:40 > 0:33:43and as you know, he's an enthusiastic guy so he's looking for
0:33:43 > 0:33:47a profit on that and I really, really hope that he makes it.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49It might go down well here in West Sussex!
0:33:49 > 0:33:53- Oh, yeah! You might find the bed it's missing from!- Well, good luck.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03- So, Daniel and Lewis, are you excited?- Yes, very.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07I mean you had to wait such a long time to get to the auction,
0:34:07 > 0:34:10and you wait and you wait and you're never quite sure
0:34:10 > 0:34:13how it's going to work out. Is that a nice experience?
0:34:13 > 0:34:15- To wait?- Yes.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17- Only if it makes you more anxious, yeah!- Yeah?
0:34:17 > 0:34:19Are you feeling anxious, Lewis?
0:34:19 > 0:34:21- Definitely!- Are you?- Yeah.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24So, the first lot up is the Guinness brush, here it comes.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27We have a painted wood advertising clothes brush modelled
0:34:27 > 0:34:29as a bottle of Guinness!
0:34:29 > 0:34:31Who will start me at £20 this?
0:34:31 > 0:34:34£15 then? 10 then?
0:34:34 > 0:34:38£10 on the left standing at 10. Do I see 12? At 10 it is. At 10. At 10...
0:34:38 > 0:34:40- Profit!- To the lady, thank you.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42I don't think it's got the bottle we're gonna need!
0:34:42 > 0:34:45£12 for the bottle. At £12. At £12 it is, at 12.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48Are we all done, last chance at £12?
0:34:48 > 0:34:52£12 is £8 plus £4, so that's an excellent start, so well done, lads.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55Now, the retro glass table.
0:34:55 > 0:35:00Lot 1571A, a modern chrome-framed stool with curved supports.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02- Starting with me, I'm bid £15.- Ouch!
0:35:02 > 0:35:04With me at £15.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06- At £15 to start...- They paid 95.
0:35:06 > 0:35:13£18 and £20. 22, 25, and £28 clears the commission at 28.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15Do I see £30, though?
0:35:15 > 0:35:17£28 here in the centre at £28.
0:35:17 > 0:35:21Looking for 30. At £28 and I'll sell it. At £28, all done?
0:35:21 > 0:35:23Last chance, £28?
0:35:23 > 0:35:27£28 is two shy of 30 which is 62...
0:35:27 > 0:35:30you are minus £67, all right.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33Not so brilliant, minus £67?
0:35:33 > 0:35:38- Not at all.- You had a profit of 4, so you're minus £63...
0:35:38 > 0:35:41£63 down the drain.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45Never mind! Here comes Mr Fleetwood and his radio set.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48The 1960s globe radio
0:35:48 > 0:35:51and I can start straight in at £10 is bid with me, at £10.
0:35:51 > 0:35:57OK 15 and 20, 25 and 30, 35 and 40, 45 clears commission.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59On the right now at 45. Do you want to bid 50?
0:35:59 > 0:36:0345 seated, right, then at £45. 50 back at the room, new face.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05- Yes, yes!- 55?
0:36:05 > 0:36:10£55 then seated at the front here at £55 and I'm selling at £55, all done?
0:36:10 > 0:36:12- Well, done!- Not bad! - £55, that is so good.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16What are you going to do about the bonus buy?
0:36:16 > 0:36:18- I'll go for it.- Yeah?
0:36:18 > 0:36:20- Are you sure? - I have no doubts about it.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23- No doubts?- Let's do it. - You're gonna do it?- Let's do it.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26- You're gonna go with it.- If you win, you win... if not...
0:36:26 > 0:36:28That's really brave.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30We're going with the bonus buy. Here it comes.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33Everyone wants this, charming little lot, starting at £50,
0:36:33 > 0:36:36it's bid at £50 with me, at £50, and I'll take 5?
0:36:36 > 0:36:40£50, 55, and 60, 65, and 70.
0:36:40 > 0:36:4875, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100. At £100, at £100 you can bid 5 if you like.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51- £100 against you, at £100? - Oh, come on!
0:36:51 > 0:36:555 anywhere else? At £100 it is, at £100, and 5 if you like then, and 10.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58£110, who wants to bid 15?
0:36:58 > 0:37:01£110 it is, then. Still against you all, then, at £110 on the book.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04Commission at £110, last chance. £110.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08- Well, done, Phil, wiped your face! - Excellent!
0:37:08 > 0:37:13- Just got there. I mean this tension is amazing, isn't it?- That's great.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15£110, well done, Phil.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18- Good job!- Good job done!
0:37:18 > 0:37:20That's a relief!
0:37:20 > 0:37:25Anyway, minus £53 is the overall score.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28Like I say, on Bargain Hunt that's not a terrible score.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31- It could be a winning score. Just don't tell the Blues!- OK.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47- You've had a good time, haven't you?- Yep.
0:37:47 > 0:37:51- Brilliant!- How are you feeling about your three pieces? Feeling confident, Piers?
0:37:51 > 0:37:53Well, I don't know.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56It's on the day, yeah, I've got no idea, but we'll see, we'll see.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59- Good crowd in this room. - Great crowd, yeah.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02I mean they're interested in interesting things.
0:38:02 > 0:38:07The first lot up, then, is the Arts and Crafts tray, and here it comes.
0:38:07 > 0:38:11Lot 1600, an arts and crafts walnut and inlaid desk tidy
0:38:11 > 0:38:14and I've got to start at £40...
0:38:14 > 0:38:16£45, 50 I've got.
0:38:16 > 0:38:21I've got £140 bid, bids over £140.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24- Oh, yeah of little faith! - £140, bid, looking for 150, now.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27£140, are you bidding? 150, 160, 170, 180.
0:38:27 > 0:38:32£180 still with me on the book then at £180. £180, 90 anyone?
0:38:32 > 0:38:36- Commission bid against you all at £180.- Come on, come on, more, more!
0:38:36 > 0:38:38At £180.
0:38:38 > 0:38:43- Last chance then at 180 and selling, last chance at £180.- Yes!
0:38:43 > 0:38:47£180. That is plus £110. That's the business, all right.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49That is a good score.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52The next lot up is this robot.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54Ooh, this is the one I'm looking at.
0:38:54 > 0:38:55With great interest.
0:38:55 > 0:39:01We have a 1960s Japanese tinplate toy robot and who will start me at £40?
0:39:01 > 0:39:05It's got to be worth £40 for this? At £40?
0:39:05 > 0:39:09- 20 then?- Ooh, he's struggling! - £20 is bid, thank you, at £20.
0:39:09 > 0:39:1122 with the lady. 25, sir?
0:39:11 > 0:39:1525 is gone. 28, 30...
0:39:15 > 0:39:17£30. Still at £30.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20Is there anyone else? 32.
0:39:20 > 0:39:24- Do you want 35?- It's all in the cliff-hanger there!- 35 he does.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26- 38.- 40.
0:39:26 > 0:39:30- Come on!- £38 against you, sir! At £38...you'll regret it!
0:39:30 > 0:39:32Selling on the left at £38.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35That is minus £27, bad luck.
0:39:35 > 0:39:40- Never mind.- I don't think the robot moment has arrived in West Sussex...
0:39:40 > 0:39:43yet! Now, the salad servers.
0:39:43 > 0:39:47We have an Art Deco silver fork and spoon, Sheffield, 1924.
0:39:47 > 0:39:52Very fancy lot this. I've got to start at £40 is bid...
0:39:52 > 0:39:54£40 straight in, straight in.
0:39:54 > 0:39:55£40 and I'll take 5?
0:39:55 > 0:39:59£40, 45 and 50, 55 if you wish?
0:39:59 > 0:40:0255 and 60, 65 if you like?
0:40:02 > 0:40:05£60 against you then at £60. At £60, 5 anywhere else?
0:40:05 > 0:40:10At £60 then, no further interest at £60? One more might do it!
0:40:10 > 0:40:13At £60 then, at 60 against you on the commission at £60.
0:40:13 > 0:40:19So, that's a £5 loss, which still leaves you with £78 profit.
0:40:19 > 0:40:23Now what are you going to do about this oak and brass bedstead?
0:40:23 > 0:40:27It's a very difficult one because he's been so good.
0:40:27 > 0:40:32- Are you going to be offended if we don't take it?- No, of course not!
0:40:32 > 0:40:36- We'll buy you a pint.- I think that's the most sensible attitude to take!
0:40:36 > 0:40:38We're not going to take it.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40- We have a decision. We're not going to take it?- No.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42No, Piers, we're not? We're not, Phil?
0:40:42 > 0:40:45Well, we're gonna sell it anyway, and here it comes.
0:40:45 > 0:40:46Doesn't it look so good!
0:40:46 > 0:40:48A mid-19th century carved oak and brass inkwell.
0:40:48 > 0:40:52Start me at £40 for this lot? £40?
0:40:52 > 0:40:5520 then? £20?
0:40:55 > 0:40:59£20 is bid here in the front here at £20. At £20, looking for 2 now?
0:40:59 > 0:41:06At £20 it is at £20. 22 far left, 25, 28, 30. At 30 I'll sell.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09Last chance at £30...
0:41:09 > 0:41:14Well, they could have made another fiver, but the Blues still walk away
0:41:14 > 0:41:17with a £78 profit. Not bad!
0:41:22 > 0:41:24So, have you been talking, you guys?
0:41:24 > 0:41:27- No.- Have the Reds been talking with the Blues?
0:41:27 > 0:41:29Great, because we want to keep the excitement going
0:41:29 > 0:41:32until the very end, so neither team knows
0:41:32 > 0:41:35how the others have done.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38Well, there is of course poles of difference between the teams today,
0:41:38 > 0:41:41which the audience know all about, but you guys don't,
0:41:41 > 0:41:46and I have to tell you the runners-up today by a long chalk are...the Reds.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49It ain't gone well, has it?
0:41:49 > 0:41:53It started off beautifully with your £4 profit on the old Guinness,
0:41:53 > 0:41:55a little profit on the transistor radio,
0:41:55 > 0:42:00but nothing like enough to make up the whopping loss on that ghastly...
0:42:00 > 0:42:05I mean on that lovely old telephone table, and overall you finish up
0:42:05 > 0:42:06with minus £53.
0:42:06 > 0:42:11It just goes to show how you can be torpedoed by one single object,
0:42:11 > 0:42:14and that was the baby that let you down, I tell you...
0:42:14 > 0:42:19But the Blues, on the other hand, bought so sensibly across the board.
0:42:19 > 0:42:24I mean great taste, so I'm going to give you £78 profit.
0:42:24 > 0:42:25Thanks very much.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28I don't give out much in the way of profits, so congratulations.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30- Have you had a great day?- Brilliant!
0:42:30 > 0:42:33Brilliant, thanks ever so much, I've really enjoyed it.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37- And it's been good for you, David? - I've loved every minute!
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Super duper. Thanks all around again, though.
0:42:40 > 0:42:44- Join us soon for some more bargain hunting. Yes?- Yes!
