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 > 0:01:54And, Lewis, you particularly wanted to be a Red Team player today?
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Yeah, definitely. Red is my favourite colour.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Now you're an extremely tall man but if we look down,
0:02:00 > 0:02:03we can see that there is another reason why you're fond of red?
0:02:03 > 0:02:07The Wizard of Oz is one of my favourite movies.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11After I came out of the closet, I decided to do a drag queen show
0:02:11 > 0:02:15based on Dorothy and that's where the red shoes come from.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17- Wizard of Oz?- Wizard of Oz...
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- And they are therefore Dorothy's shoes?- Yeah, definitely.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- And what do you collect, Lewis? - I used to collect coins
0:02:23 > 0:02:26but actually after the European Union,
0:02:26 > 0:02:30everything got a bit boring because every country had the same coins.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- Yes, this wretched Euro. - Yeah. I decided to give to my cousin.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- The whole collection? - The whole collection!- Shouldn't have.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41- Don't want anything given away today!- No problem.- Good luck, chaps.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- Thanks.- Now, the best of friends, Piers and Philip.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Piers, you're really into your music, aren't you?
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Yes, that's right. I'm a music promoter and I've always been
0:02:49 > 0:02:52in bands and stuff throughout my life.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55But you've been mates for a long time, haven't you?
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Yes, it's been over 20 years now that we've known each other.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Some people get less for murder!
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Now you're supposed to have the Midas Touch.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05What sort of things do you collect?
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Well, I worked as a print designer for a while
0:03:08 > 0:03:13and I work with Disney, so I've got a collection of Mickey Mouse annuals
0:03:13 > 0:03:16from the '40s and '50s.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17Basically graphic-related material?
0:03:17 > 0:03:21Graphic-related material, with a bit of age to it.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Well, you never know what you'll find
0:03:23 > 0:03:26in a lovely fair like we have today.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31Now, the money moment - £300 apiece, there you go. Your experts await.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Normally I would send you running off, but today we're going to do
0:03:34 > 0:03:36something rather different.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Take it away, Dorothy!
0:03:38 > 0:03:42There is no place like Bargain Hunt, there is no place like Bargain Hunt,
0:03:42 > 0:03:44there is no place like Bargain Hunt!
0:03:44 > 0:03:48# We're off to see the Wizard The wonderful Wizard of Oz
0:03:48 > 0:03:52# We hear he is a whizz of a wiz If ever a wiz there was
0:03:52 > 0:03:55# If ever, oh ever, a wiz there was The Wizard of Oz is one because
0:03:55 > 0:03:57# Because, because Because, because
0:03:57 > 0:03:59# Because... #
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Right, archive films over, lads.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Will the Blue Team's Midas Touch turn everything to gold
0:04:04 > 0:04:06or will the Reds shine on?
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Your hour starts...now.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14- That's great. It's a dog collar. - Dog collar?- Yeah.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17135!
0:04:19 > 0:04:23- You wanted silver?- Yes.- That's £195.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27What do you think about this?
0:04:27 > 0:04:31- Quite different, isn't it? - That's interesting.- Guinness!
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- No it's actually...- Polish!
0:04:33 > 0:04:36No, no, less of that and a bit more of that, I think!
0:04:36 > 0:04:38- All right, that's great! - Why do you like that?
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- I like Guinness! - You like Guinness! Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45It's an advertising clothes brush and I think it's just great!
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- And I actually think it's quite cheap!- Yeah, £12!
0:04:48 > 0:04:49It's actually quite cheap.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51What about at auction, what do you think of going...
0:04:52 > 0:04:55I can see that making between £15 and £30.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59- Really?- Which in Bargain Hunt terms is like the best result of all time!
0:04:59 > 0:05:00Exactly, exactly.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- So are you going to ask him how much...- Definitely.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05- I'm going for.- A bit cheap, I think.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07All right.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09He said it's £12.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11How much can we buy this?
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- How much do I have on it? 12?- Yeah.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17I could do it for 8 for you.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19- £8.- 8?
0:05:19 > 0:05:24- 6?- Oh, no, give him the money! - All right, all right!
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- Give him the money!- OK, definitely!
0:05:27 > 0:05:30That's the first item for the Reds. It's cheap and cheerful
0:05:30 > 0:05:33but they should have a brush with a profit at auction.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Let's see what's caught David's eye for the Blue Team.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- What do you think?- There is something about it, there is, yeah.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- It's quite appealing.- From the graphic art point of view,
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- it's quite good.- It's stylish...
0:05:45 > 0:05:48What I like about this, it's still functional. It's a desk tidy.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Could have been made for a child,
0:05:50 > 0:05:53so they could put their crayons there or their pens there
0:05:53 > 0:05:58and maybe it's the brother or the father had a small business
0:05:58 > 0:06:01and they've actually done this inlay here which is beautifully done
0:06:01 > 0:06:06and rather nice for a child, the sort of cockerel for getting up
0:06:06 > 0:06:10in the morning and the owl for going to bed, it's a nice combination.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Hello. How are you? What's the price on that, darling?
0:06:14 > 0:06:16- How about 90? - Is there any chance you might just
0:06:16 > 0:06:20- tuck it down a bit?- How about 75?
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- Split the difference at 70?- OK.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- He's good!- Now what do you think? - Well, it's useful.- I think so.
0:06:26 > 0:06:31- How much could you see it making, though?- It could make close on 100.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- Let's do the deal. - Where has she gone?
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- At £50, that's very good! - THEY LAUGH
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Ooh, David, you cheeky boy!
0:06:41 > 0:06:45The first item down for the Blues - not bad for ten minutes' work!
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Instant profit!
0:06:47 > 0:06:52- It doesn't work! - Here today, gone tomorrow, eh, Phil?
0:06:52 > 0:06:55I think we're quite happy to spend most of the money.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59- Well, we want to leave him some, don't we?- A couple of quid!
0:07:02 > 0:07:04I love globes, chaps.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06- Yeah, this one.- Yeah?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Interesting.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Does it light up, or something?
0:07:11 > 0:07:13I've no idea...
0:07:13 > 0:07:16- It's a radio, isn't it! - It's a radio, yeah.- Is it working?
0:07:16 > 0:07:20- Interesting.- Let's just see if we can see what's on, shall we?
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Apparently we get all sorts of letters...
0:07:22 > 0:07:25I can't stand that old-fashioned stuff, can you? Awful!
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- Switch that off!- Disgusting! - Don't know who that was.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31I don't know who that was at all. Let's have a look...
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- How old do you think it is? - I was just going to have a look.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Transistor Six Fleetwood. I think it's definitely...
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- It's got to be early '60s.- OK. - Something like that?
0:07:40 > 0:07:43What do you think? What's the price on it?
0:07:43 > 0:07:47- The price is £60. But it's a cool thing, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49What do you think it would grab at auction?
0:07:49 > 0:07:53- I think at auction that is £30 to £50 worth.- Really? OK.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55So have a word with the dealer, see if he'll help you.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- Do you want to buy it?- Yeah, let's go for it.- Yeah.- It is different.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- We need to get that price down.- OK. - Definitely.- I'll go over this time.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- Leave it to Daniel.- See what I can do.- I can sense blood!
0:08:04 > 0:08:08- I'll leave you alone!- Thanks. - Let's go, Dan.- Let's go and see.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11At £45 for the globe radio,
0:08:11 > 0:08:15those boys sure seem tuned in to a bargain.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Over to the Blues, now.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Are these robots? - Yeah, they've got that look.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- It's the last thing, I must confess, I would have picked up.- Right.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28It's wonderful when you open it up, isn't it? You see the interior.
0:08:28 > 0:08:29- Yeah.- I like the look.
0:08:29 > 0:08:34Well, it's very emblematic of the sort of 1950s, 1960s, isn't it?
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- It is, yeah, and...- All those movies like Forbidden Planet
0:08:37 > 0:08:42- and The Thing From Outer Space, yeah.- Sci-fi, evil-looking, great!
0:08:42 > 0:08:46- It's all part and parcel, isn't it? - It's a little bit Metropolis.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47Like the Fritz Lang type thing.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50It's nicely aged. I find it quite an incredible piece.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Yeah, I like that...it's got style.
0:08:53 > 0:08:58- We should go for it, but for a good price.- What's the asking price?- 95.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02- £95? OK.- Yes.- They do appear in price guides...
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- I've seen them... but it's not in my interests.- Right.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10- So I can't really advise you. - Let's and go away and think about it.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13- We'll have a think...- OK.- And see if...- I'm quite sold on it, but...
0:09:13 > 0:09:16I like it, I like it, too. It's got that good look.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20After all that umming and aahing, the Blues manage to knock a whopping
0:09:20 > 0:09:23£30 off the robot, but time is ticking on.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27Both teams have 15 minutes left.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- Do you sit on it? - It's a little telephone table,
0:09:30 > 0:09:34- but this is a real gamble, all right?- Yeah.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38- Because...- I mean, the upholstery is still all right.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- Well, it's probably been replaced. - OK.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46- It should have, I would think... - Rubber stoppers there.- Rubber pads.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48It's not too onerous to get those.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51It's priced up at 115 quid.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55I think if you have a real bad day in the sale room,
0:09:55 > 0:09:59it's like £40 worth, £50 worth.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04If you have a result, and two people take a shine to it, you know,
0:10:04 > 0:10:07it might make a bit more, but there's another issue
0:10:07 > 0:10:12- and it's we've got about five minutes left.- We'll take a gamble.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Have a word with the dealer and hope he'll help you.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Excuse me, sir. Hi.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Can you do any better than 115 on the price for this?
0:10:21 > 0:10:24I can do 95.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26- Not less than that?- I'm afraid not.
0:10:26 > 0:10:31If you're lucky, you might make a smidgeon of a profit.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33If you're unlucky, you take a bath!
0:10:33 > 0:10:35- Let's go for it.- Yeah?
0:10:35 > 0:10:40I like it. I think we have a fighting chance yeah, definitely.
0:10:40 > 0:10:41- Yeah.- All right, so £95 it is.
0:10:41 > 0:10:4395, great. Thank you very much.
0:10:43 > 0:10:48Good lord, chaps! I do hope you know what you're doing!
0:10:48 > 0:10:51We're running a bit low on time, aren't we?
0:10:51 > 0:10:54We're going to have to find something soon.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- You've already done exceedingly well.- Do you think so?
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- Indeed so!- I'm not so sure!
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Something has caught Piers's eye, but with only a couple of minutes
0:11:03 > 0:11:06remaining, he's after some guidance from David.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08We're getting short on time.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12We've got to make a decision. I do like them - they're very stylish.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- It says quality.- Yeah, I really like the look of them.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17What I like about them is the style.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21- Yeah, they've got the look, haven't they?- They have got the look.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23They're not conventional.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- No.- The hallmark is Sheffield and
0:11:26 > 0:11:30it's Thomas Bradbury & Sons, 1926.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- Yeah, I think we should go with this. - Right. Well, if you're interested,
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- go for them and negotiate. - Right, how much are they on for?
0:11:36 > 0:11:40They're on for £95. You need to get them around about sort of 75, 70,
0:11:40 > 0:11:42- less if you can manage.- Right.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- I like them. Let's do it.- Let's go. - Best of luck.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Phew! Just in time!
0:11:48 > 0:11:52The Blues got their silver for £65.
0:11:52 > 0:11:57Look, time's up. Let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Bottoms up, Daniel and Lewis,
0:12:00 > 0:12:04paid £8 for the advertising brush.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10Turn on, tune in but for heaven's sake don't drop out...
0:12:10 > 0:12:13£45 for the retro radio.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17And finally, I think I'll need to sit down
0:12:17 > 0:12:20after they spent £95 on this monster!
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Now, Lewis and Daniel, did you have a good time?
0:12:23 > 0:12:25- Yeah, great time.- Oh, great.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29You spent £148. Now you're giving me £152 of leftover lolly.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32All right. There you go.
0:12:32 > 0:12:37There we go, £152. Thank you very much. Now, Philip,
0:12:37 > 0:12:40different day for you, I would have thought?
0:12:40 > 0:12:45Oh, yes! I'm thinking of getting some red sparkly high-heel shoes
0:12:45 > 0:12:48but I'm not really sure I've got the calves for it!
0:12:48 > 0:12:52And also you might find, old boy, difficult to get that kind
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- of extra wide fitting, know what I mean?- Yeah.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57- What are you going to buy? - I'm going to lighten their darkness.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- Bit of a hint.- Well, you never know.- Usually is.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Good luck, Phil, anyway. Let's us check out what the Blues bought.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09This artsy-crafty desk tidy cost £70,
0:13:09 > 0:13:13but will there be a tidy profit for Philip and Piers come auction time?
0:13:13 > 0:13:19They weren't sure about the robot but they loved it anyway...for £65.
0:13:19 > 0:13:24And every cloud has a silver lining... £65 for the cutlery set.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30- Philip and Piers, have a good time? - Brilliant.- Really good fun.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33You spent £200 which is fine.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35£100 of leftover lolly...
0:13:35 > 0:13:37you don't like passing it over, Philip, do you?
0:13:37 > 0:13:40- David, what are you going to do? - Well, I've got an idea, actually.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43These guys are very, very pleasant to be with.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46If you wanted drinking partners, let's say on a Tuesday evening,
0:13:46 > 0:13:48these are the chaps you'd go for.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52Full of interests and they've had so much activity in their lives,
0:13:52 > 0:13:54- they ought to write a book. - They'd be good.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Good luck with your bonus buy, David.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09Well, it's lovely to be in my home county, West Sussex...
0:14:09 > 0:14:13Wisborough Green, to be exact. Bellmans Sale Room with Jonathan Pratt. Morning, Jonathan.
0:14:13 > 0:14:18- Good morning.- Daniel and Lewis, their first item, Guinness brush,
0:14:18 > 0:14:21found by Lewis. What do you think he paid for it?
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- If he paid a tenner for it...- He paid 8, actually.- Paid £8, did he?
0:14:24 > 0:14:26So, not a lot of money but
0:14:26 > 0:14:30if you had to put an estimate on that, what would you put on it?
0:14:30 > 0:14:33- Well, my estimate, let's say, on that is...- Yes, your estimate...
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Because obviously our minimum bid is £10, I feel we'll
0:14:36 > 0:14:38probably get the minimum bid, just about, for it.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Now the next object is this monster...
0:14:40 > 0:14:42which ain't 1930s?
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Personally I think it has a sort of '60s feel,
0:14:45 > 0:14:47bit of Modernism going in there.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51- £20 to £40 I reckon.- Really?
0:14:51 > 0:14:54£95 paid by Philip Serrell for this.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- I think it's going to be difficult, don't you?- I think so.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01Now the next fab item is this little spherical transistor radio.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05This is what a teenager would have been gagging for in the '60s!
0:15:05 > 0:15:08- Frankly, I don't rate it very much.- Your estimate?
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- £10...£10 to £20. - £20, right. £45 paid on that,
0:15:11 > 0:15:15so we've got some whopping great gaps here, haven't we, really,
0:15:15 > 0:15:17what with the radio and the telephone table?
0:15:17 > 0:15:20So they're going to need their bonus buy. Let's look at it.
0:15:20 > 0:15:25Daniel and Lewis, you spent £148.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29- Correct.- Leaving Philip Serrell with £152. What did he spend it on?
0:15:29 > 0:15:32I'm going to light their darkness, Tim. Look at that!
0:15:32 > 0:15:35A little wooden table lamp but, a little wooden table lamp
0:15:35 > 0:15:36- with a mouse on it.- Aah!
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Oh! That's the gentleman that makes those chairs!
0:15:39 > 0:15:43That is that gentleman that makes those chairs
0:15:43 > 0:15:45and he is known as Mouseman, surprisingly enough!
0:15:45 > 0:15:49Robert Thompson of Kilburn and he sort of produced this type of ware
0:15:49 > 0:15:53throughout the 20th century. But I paid £110 for that
0:15:53 > 0:15:56and his stuff is very collectable. I think it'll make between
0:15:56 > 0:15:57£100 and £150.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00- OK.- That's my shop for you.
0:16:00 > 0:16:05- So, guys, does it appeal? - To me it does, yeah.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06Yeah? What about you, Lewis?
0:16:06 > 0:16:09It's not my cup of tea, but I can go for it.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Don't decide right now, but after the sale of your first three items,
0:16:12 > 0:16:17but for viewers at home, let's see what the auctioneer thinks about it.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Well, there we go... a bit of Mouseman for you.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24Well, there's a great collectors' market for this.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26The fact that the mouse is in high relief is a nice touch.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29but you can buy this on the internet for about £100 today.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Oh, can you? Oh, can you?
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Well, old Serrell paid £110... it's his bonus buy.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38- Yeah.- So, do you think he's going to be lucky to get £110?
0:16:38 > 0:16:41- What's your estimate?- £50 to £80.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Well, I'll tell you what we'll do. We'll put it on the telephone table.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48Perhaps that will attract somebody. Anyway, that's it for the Reds.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Now, for the Blues... Piers and Philip.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53What about that arts and craftsy bit?
0:16:53 > 0:16:57- I think that's really fantastic, actually.- Good.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01Real carved-out piece of walnut and this inlay is quite nicely done.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05- What's your estimate? - £40 to £60.- They paid £70.- OK.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07I've got a funny feeling. I can see it making £100.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11Lots of Arts and Crafts houses in West Sussex, too. You never know!
0:17:11 > 0:17:15Now, the tinplate toy - what a whacky thing to have next door
0:17:15 > 0:17:18to the Arts and Crafts dish, isn't it?
0:17:18 > 0:17:21I like this. This is a 1960s Japanese tinplate robot.
0:17:21 > 0:17:26You could quite happily put this on your mantelpiece, in a cabinet next
0:17:26 > 0:17:30to another work of art and see this as being sort of iconic of the '60s.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33I quite agree with you. What do you think it's worth?
0:17:33 > 0:17:38- I'd say between £50 and £80.- £65 paid, so quite a sensible amount.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41What about the spoon and fork?
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Well, aren't they great!
0:17:43 > 0:17:45If that were a complete service, it'd be fantastic.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49That Modernist style would be superb and really sought-after.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53- Yes, but even those two pieces are good fun.- Mmm.- £65 paid.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- I've priced it at £30 to £50. - Well, there you go.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58All with potential, but they might need the bonus buy,
0:17:58 > 0:18:00so let's go look at it.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Philip and Piers,
0:18:02 > 0:18:06you spent £200, which is fantastic.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09You gave £100 to David Barby. Has he blown the lot...or not?
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Oooh! Well, I wanted something...
0:18:11 > 0:18:14do you remember I said "writing their life story",
0:18:14 > 0:18:19so I thought they could buy a desk and have this as an inkwell on it.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Something Frankenstein might have had?
0:18:21 > 0:18:25- Yes, yes, cobwebs, and that sort of thing.- Yeah...
0:18:25 > 0:18:27It's got a little bit of damage here.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30I think that can easily be replaced, quite honestly, if you want.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- Want something perfect?- Right, how much did you pay for it?
0:18:33 > 0:18:37£25, but I think it's such an imposing piece.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- We'll think about that, I think! - I think we'll have to...
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Well, that's the big thing.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45You don't have to decide right now, you'll decide later,
0:18:45 > 0:18:48but for viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks
0:18:48 > 0:18:50about David's little inkwell.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54- Well, there's a monster! - Isn't it a real hoofing monster!
0:18:54 > 0:18:55It certainly is!
0:18:55 > 0:18:58I mean, you can see Frankenstein in his study, all right.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00He's got this socking great desk,
0:19:00 > 0:19:03where does Frankenstein keep his ink? In an inkwell like this.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07- Give us an estimate on it.- £30 to £40.- Yeah, 30 to 40 is it, is it?
0:19:07 > 0:19:10£25 - David Barby went for that,
0:19:10 > 0:19:12and I really hope he makes it.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15It might go down well here in West Sussex!
0:19:15 > 0:19:17- Might find the bed it's missing from! - Well, good luck.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29- So, Daniel and Lewis, are you excited?- Yes, very.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31I mean you had to wait such a long time to get to the auction,
0:19:31 > 0:19:35and you wait and you wait and you're never quite sure
0:19:35 > 0:19:38how it's going to work out. Is that a nice experience?
0:19:38 > 0:19:40- To wait?- Yes.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- Only if it makes you more anxious, yeah!- Yeah?
0:19:43 > 0:19:46- Are you feeling anxious, Lewis? - Definitely!- Are you?- Yeah.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50So, the first lot up is the Guinness brush, here it comes.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Who will start me at £20 this?
0:19:52 > 0:19:54£15 then? 10 then?
0:19:54 > 0:19:59£10 on the left standing at 10. Do I see 12? At 10 it is.
0:19:59 > 0:20:00- At 10. At 10...- Profit!- Thank you.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04I don't think it's got the buffer we're going to need!
0:20:04 > 0:20:08At £12. At £12 it is, at 12. Are we all done, last chance at £12?
0:20:08 > 0:20:13£12 is plus £4, so that's an excellent start, so well done.
0:20:13 > 0:20:14Now, the retro glass table.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17A modern chrome-framed stool with curved supports.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21- I'm bid £15.- Ouch!- With me at £15.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23- At £15 to start...- They paid 95.
0:20:23 > 0:20:30£18 and £20. 22, 25, and £28 clears the commission at 28.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Do I see £30, though?
0:20:32 > 0:20:34£28 here in the centre at £28.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38Looking for 30. At £28 and I'll sell it. At £28, all done?
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Last chance, £28?
0:20:40 > 0:20:44£28 is two shy of 30 which is 62...
0:20:44 > 0:20:47you are minus £67, all right.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Not so brilliant, minus £67?
0:20:50 > 0:20:54Never mind! Here comes Mr Fleetwood and his radio set.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56The 1960s globe radio
0:20:56 > 0:21:01and I can start straight in at £10 is bid with me, at £10.
0:21:01 > 0:21:06OK 15 and 20, 25 and 30, 35 and 40, 45 clears commission.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09On the right now at 45. Do you want to bid 50?
0:21:09 > 0:21:12- 50 back at the room, new face. - Yes, yes!- 55?
0:21:12 > 0:21:17£55 then seated at the front here at £55 and I'm selling at £55, all done?
0:21:17 > 0:21:21- Well done! Not bad! - £55, that is so good.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23What are you going to do about the bonus buy?
0:21:23 > 0:21:26- I'll go for it.- Yeah?
0:21:26 > 0:21:28- Are you sure? - I have no doubts about it.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32That's really brave. We're going with the bonus buy. Here it comes.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Everyone wants this, charming little lot, starting at £50,
0:21:35 > 0:21:38it's bid at £50 with me, at £50, and I'll take 5?
0:21:38 > 0:21:41£50, 55, and 60, 65, and 70.
0:21:41 > 0:21:4875, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100. At £100,
0:21:48 > 0:21:49at £100 you can bid 5 if you like.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53- £100 against you, at £100? - Oh, come on!
0:21:53 > 0:21:575 anywhere else? At £100 it is, at £100, and 5 if you like then, and 10.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59£110, who wants to bid 15?
0:21:59 > 0:22:02£110 it is, then. Still against you all, then, at £110 on the book.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06Commission at £110, last chance. £110.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- Well done, Phil, wiped your face! - Excellent!
0:22:09 > 0:22:15- Just got there. I mean this tension is amazing, isn't it?- That's great.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19- £110, well done, Phil. - Good job!- Good job done!
0:22:19 > 0:22:21That's a relief!
0:22:21 > 0:22:26Anyway, minus £53 is the overall score.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30Like I say, on Bargain Hunt that's not a terrible score.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- It could be a winning score. Just don't tell the Blues!- OK.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50- You've had a good time, haven't you?- Yep.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- Brilliant!- How are you feeling about your pieces? Confident, Piers?
0:22:53 > 0:22:54Well, I don't know.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58It's on the day, yeah, I've got no idea, but we'll see, we'll see.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00- Good crowd in this room. - Great crowd, yeah.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04I mean they're interested in interesting things.
0:23:04 > 0:23:09The first lot up, then, is the Arts and Crafts tray, and here it comes.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Lot 1600, an arts and crafts walnut and inlaid desk tidy.
0:23:12 > 0:23:18I've got £140 bid, bids over £140.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21- Oh, yeah of little faith! - £140, bid, looking for 150, now.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25£140, are you bidding? 150, 160, 170, 180.
0:23:25 > 0:23:30£180 still with me on the book then at £180. £180, 90 anyone?
0:23:30 > 0:23:35- Commission bid against you all at £180.- Come on, more, more!- At £180.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38- Last chance then at 180 and selling, last chance at £180.- Yes!
0:23:38 > 0:23:43£180. That is plus £110.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45That's the business, all right.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48That is a good score. The next lot up is this robot.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51We have a 1960s Japanese tinplate toy robot.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55It's got to be worth £40 for this? At £40?
0:23:55 > 0:23:59- 20 then?- Ooh, he's struggling! - £20 is bid, thank you, at £20.
0:23:59 > 0:24:0322 with the lady. 25, sir?
0:24:03 > 0:24:0625 is gone. 28, 30...
0:24:06 > 0:24:11£30. Still at £30. Is there anyone else? 32.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- Do you want 35?- It's all in the cliff-hanger there!- 35 he does.
0:24:14 > 0:24:21- 38.- 40.- Come on!- £38 against you, sir! At £38...you'll regret it!
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Selling on the left at £38.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26That is minus £27, bad luck.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30- Never mind.- I don't think the robot moment has arrived in West Sussex...
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Yet! Now, the salad servers.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37We have an Art Deco silver fork and spoon, Sheffield, 1924.
0:24:37 > 0:24:42Very fancy lot this. I've got to start at £40 is bid...
0:24:42 > 0:24:46- £40 straight in, straight in. - £40 and I'll take 5?
0:24:46 > 0:24:49£40, 45 and 50, 55 if you wish?
0:24:49 > 0:24:5355 and 60, 65 if you like?
0:24:53 > 0:24:56£60 against you then at £60. At £60, 5 anywhere else?
0:24:56 > 0:24:59At £60 then, no further interest at £60?
0:24:59 > 0:25:05So, that's a £5 loss, which still leaves you with £78 profit.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09Now what are you going to do about this oak and brass bedstead?
0:25:09 > 0:25:13It's a very difficult one because he's been so good.
0:25:13 > 0:25:18- Are you going to be offended if we don't take it?- No, of course not!
0:25:18 > 0:25:22- We'll buy you a pint.- I think that's the most sensible attitude to take!
0:25:22 > 0:25:24We're not going to take it.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26- We have a decision. We're not going to take it?- No.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29A mid-19th century carved oak and brass inkwell.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Start me at £40 for this lot? £40?
0:25:32 > 0:25:3420 then? £20?
0:25:34 > 0:25:39£20 is bid here in the front here at £20. At £20, looking for 2 now?
0:25:39 > 0:25:4222 far left, 25, 28, 30.
0:25:42 > 0:25:47At 30 I'll sell. Last chance at £30...
0:25:47 > 0:25:51Well, they could have made another fiver, but the Blues still walk away
0:25:51 > 0:25:55with a £78 profit. Not bad!
0:26:00 > 0:26:03So, have you been talking, you guys?
0:26:03 > 0:26:05- No.- Have the Reds been talking with the Blues?
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Great, so neither team knows
0:26:07 > 0:26:09how the others have done.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13Well, the runners-up today by a long chalk are...the Reds.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Overall you finish up with minus £53.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22But the Blues, on the other hand, bought so sensibly across the board.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26So I'm going to give you £78 profit.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29I don't give out much in the way of profits, so congratulations.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32- Have you had a great day?- Brilliant!
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Brilliant, thanks ever so much, I've really enjoyed it.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39- And it's been good for you, David? - I've loved every minute!
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Super duper. Thanks all around again, though.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46- Join us soon for some more bargain hunting. Yes?- Yes!
