0:00:02 > 0:00:06We're in Lincolnshire, and for the teams, it's all about making snappy decisions
0:00:06 > 0:00:08and not leaving anything until the last minute.
0:00:10 > 0:00:15And who's got today's game plan in check? Well, we'll find out later.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18But right now, let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:45 > 0:00:46Hello, bargain hunters,
0:00:46 > 0:00:49and welcome to Grimsthorpe Castle in Lincolnshire.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53This is the venue where our teams are going to do battle
0:00:53 > 0:00:55to find some treasures.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Coming up on today's show, the Reds are having a real workout.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02I've got two minutes, Jonathan. Two minutes.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05And the Blues? Well, it's just hard work.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Do you know, girls, it's quite stressful, shopping with you!
0:01:08 > 0:01:12- I'm sorry! I told you we were terrible!- £350!
0:01:12 > 0:01:15I keep picking everything out that's really expensive!
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Who would have thought that their challenge -
0:01:20 > 0:01:25to spend £350 on three antiques in an hour -
0:01:25 > 0:01:28could possibly be so demanding?
0:01:28 > 0:01:32And that's before they head off to the auction,
0:01:32 > 0:01:35where they hope they're going to make a profit on what they've paid.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38I'll take two for them, surely!
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- Oh, dear! - What?!- The gavel falls.
0:01:41 > 0:01:47He's only put £50 to £70 on it, which is not so good, babies!
0:01:49 > 0:01:54Remember, they get to keep any profit that they make,
0:01:54 > 0:01:59so let's go and meet today's wannabe wheeler-dealers.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Well, it's all about best mates today.
0:02:03 > 0:02:09For the Reds, we've got John and Andy, and for the Blues, Gemma and Sam.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Welcome to Bargain Hunt, everybody.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Very nice to see you. Good.
0:02:13 > 0:02:14John, how did you two first meet?
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Me and Andy were next-door neighbours,
0:02:17 > 0:02:23but it was the wives that got to know each other first, and after that, basically they introduced us.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27Subsequently, we've been best mates for about nine, ten years now.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Great. What will your tactics be today, John?
0:02:30 > 0:02:36Haggle really hard, find some real bargains and hopefully make some money at the end of it.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40Good. And what are your interests in antiques, Andy?
0:02:40 > 0:02:43I collect a lot of film memorabilia.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46I've got a lot of things that I'm going to pass on to my children.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48I also collect Satsuma vases.
0:02:48 > 0:02:49I've got a lot of miniatures.
0:02:49 > 0:02:54And are you well-trained in the combat of bargain hunting, do you reckon?
0:02:54 > 0:02:59They had better watch out, cos we're gonna be moving around. We'll get these items as quickly as we can.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03- We'll dig in and we'll get some good bargains.- Moving on to the Blues.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Girls, how are we? All right?
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- Yes, thank you.- Do you think you're going to beat these two boys?
0:03:08 > 0:03:10- These big brutes?- Definitely.
0:03:10 > 0:03:15- What's your strategy, then? - We're just gonna take 'em down!
0:03:18 > 0:03:23- You're just gonna take 'em down!- We may be little, but we'll beat them. - How do you two know each other?
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Gemma and I, we met at college.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29We left our jobs and went to pursue a career in beauty.
0:03:29 > 0:03:34- Ah!- We met there. We didn't really see eye to eye to start with.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38I thought she was a bit of an emo and she thought I was an airhead,
0:03:38 > 0:03:43- and she didn't like me very much. - But something happened, because you bonded up and became friends.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47We had a night out and realised we had loads in common, and yeah,
0:03:47 > 0:03:50we've been really good friends ever since.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Sam, have you now finished in college, then?
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Yes, we have. We're now qualified beauty therapists.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01So, Gems, if I came into your salon, what would you recommend for me?
0:04:01 > 0:04:06- Obviously you're very handsome, so there's not much we can do to improve!- Say no more!
0:04:06 > 0:04:07Moving on, then!
0:04:07 > 0:04:13No, seriously, there must be something that you could dredge up that would be a suitable treatment.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- We could tint your moustache for you, maybe.- Tint my moustache?! - Yeah.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20What would you do if you were to tint my moustache? Put some dye on it or something?
0:04:20 > 0:04:22It's a bit like having your hair dyed.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- I've never done that.- Your regrowth might look a bit funny on your face!
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Brilliant. We've now come to the money moment.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30The £300. Here's your £300.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32- 300 smackers.- Thank you.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36There you go. You know the rules. Your experts await. And off you go!
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Very, very, very good luck.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Hmm, I don't think it needs tinting, do you?
0:04:43 > 0:04:48Keeping the peace as the teams find their three bargains each, we have two pros.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Fighting for the Blues, Kate Bliss.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54It's such a fantastic setting for an antiques fair here at Grimsthorpe,
0:04:54 > 0:04:56but I hope my contestants aren't
0:04:56 > 0:04:59taken in by the romantic surroundings, and that
0:04:59 > 0:05:01they're going to get stuck in and find some treasures.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04And for the Reds, Jonathan Pratt.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07When I found out I was up against Kate Bliss, I thought,
0:05:07 > 0:05:10"Blimey, I'm really gonna have to work hard."
0:05:10 > 0:05:13She's very competitive, she's got lots of experience, very focused,
0:05:13 > 0:05:15and I'm quite a competitive person too,
0:05:15 > 0:05:18so I've really got to pull all the strings today.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22And off they go! Let's hope they use their one hour wisely.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26What are we interested in? What are you guys looking for?
0:05:26 > 0:05:31- Silver.- We've looked at some bronzes in the past before, so that's what we're looking at as well.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35- Some nice pots, I'm looking for. - Pots?- Yeah, some nice pottery.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Maybe some little miniature pictures as well, miniature paintings.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41OK. That's very specific.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- What about jewellery? - Jewellery?- Yeah.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Something silvery and sparkly!
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Ooh, loads of ideas! Come on, then!
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Let's get going! Let's go down here.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55So, their shopping list is complete,
0:05:55 > 0:05:58but will they find what they're after?
0:05:58 > 0:06:01I think it's always better to go for silver, girls.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03It's just got a bit more quality and weight to it.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05You see an awful lot of silver-plated ones.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08That is actually in lovely condition.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12You've got the Roman numerals, and then the subsidiary dial for the seconds.
0:06:12 > 0:06:17If you turn it over, it's all polished up and looking beautiful. If we just open it up,
0:06:17 > 0:06:20press the button on the top,
0:06:20 > 0:06:22and that should spring open.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26There we go - we've got silver hallmarks on the inside. 1907.
0:06:26 > 0:06:32So it's Edward VII in date, well over 100 years old.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34- It's lovely.- How much is it?
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- 85.- 85! I was thinking more like 60?
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Go on then.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Should have asked for 50, shouldn't I!
0:06:42 > 0:06:46- I was gonna say, won't you sell it for 50?!- Not 50, no.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- Cos we're gonna have to clean it! - Don't dip it in oil!
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Is that your best, seriously?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Eh... Yes. 55.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- 50, go on. - 50's such a nice round figure.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01- Help three lovely girls!- Yeah, go on.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- £50?- Yeah, go on. - Do you like that, girls?- Yeah.
0:07:03 > 0:07:08Well, they've bought it, but they don't sound so convinced.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09I think we've done the right thing.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13Yeah, I do. I like it, I think it's a nice item. I think we did well.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18Do you know what? Sometimes, the first thing you see is the best buy.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21You never know. We've got loads more to do, so come on!
0:07:24 > 0:07:28So that's the Blues up and running. Have the Reds bought anything yet?
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Yes, it is Tunbridge ware banding. Well done.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- I've got an expert with me! - THEY LAUGH
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- Here we go.- That's a nice-quality one, isn't it? It's a writing slope.
0:07:43 > 0:07:50- You've got rosewood, and this wood is birch, I think.- Looks like maple.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Yeah, maybe it is.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54This opens up here as well.
0:07:56 > 0:08:01Date-wise, you're looking at... The style of it, it's early Victorian.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04£72 asking.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Because it's very decorative, you might find someone looking at it.
0:08:07 > 0:08:12A straightforward rosewood writing slope in good condition is £30-40.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- OK.- But you've got this nice pattern on it. - It's beautiful, I really do like it.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- So at auction I'd probably quote £40-60.- OK.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20So you stand a chance if you get it in at 60.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24'Well, John, you said you were gonna haggle hard, now's your chance.'
0:08:24 > 0:08:27The guys quite like the writing slope.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29You've got 72 on it. What do you think you can do that for?
0:08:32 > 0:08:34I could go down to 60 on that.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Will you go down to about 50?
0:08:36 > 0:08:42- Erm, no. I can go a little bit lower, but not much.- 55?- Yeah, 55 I'll go.
0:08:42 > 0:08:47- You really like that. Do you want to just go for that, just to get one in the bag?- Yeah.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Cos it's a good decorative thing. Are you happy with that? OK.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52That's number one done!
0:08:54 > 0:08:58It's like Challenge Anneka, isn't it! "Quick, find something!"
0:09:01 > 0:09:07Now then, this could be interesting. Both teams are eyeing up cruet sets.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Nice. Walker and Hall are really well-known makers, good quality.
0:09:11 > 0:09:16Sheffield It's a Walker and Hall as well, so it's a good local maker as well. Selling it in Derby.
0:09:16 > 0:09:22The only thing is, these aren't that commercial. People don't tend to buy them so much.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- Mark's a little bit rubbed. Quite pretty, actually.- Very nice.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- This chap's got a little dent in it, but...- This one's fairly clean.
0:09:29 > 0:09:34- BMH.- That's the person it's been given to as a present.
0:09:34 > 0:09:39- Would that deter people from buying it, or...?- Perhaps...
0:09:39 > 0:09:43If you knew the history of it... VENDOR: It gives a bit of character to things sometimes.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Definitely.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47I think you can change your name by deed poll!
0:09:47 > 0:09:50LAUGHTER Yeah, definitely!
0:09:50 > 0:09:55- They're a nice shape, they're in nice condition.- Yep. - The hallmarks are crisp, you know.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57There's nothing obvious of damage.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01Often you see a foot's been dropped off or bent over, stuff like that.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04So, £30, you say?
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- Best.- Best is 30 quid? - I can't go any less.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08I do quite like them.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Do you? Don't let me force your hand as such...
0:10:12 > 0:10:14In a minute it'll be £50!
0:10:14 > 0:10:1630 quid, Sheffield, Walker and Hall.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18I think go for it.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21VENDOR: Do you know that is? 15 cups of coffee.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Exactly! But at auction, they don't think like that, do they?!
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- I do like it.- You make a decision. - Yes. Let's go for it.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31So, the Reds bought theirs. Have the Blues bagged theirs?
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Is it gonna break the bank, though?
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- 125 for the set.- Shall we have a look around and come back maybe?
0:10:37 > 0:10:40- I think that's a very good idea, Sam.- We know where it is.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Thanks for your help.
0:10:43 > 0:10:49'With just over half of the shopping time gone, I've also taken a shine to something silver.'
0:10:49 > 0:10:53What's so special about this tablespoon?
0:10:53 > 0:10:55There's L & Co.
0:10:55 > 0:11:01That is the mark for the celebrated Regent Street store Liberty & Co.
0:11:01 > 0:11:06Liberty's is a fascinating collectors' area.
0:11:06 > 0:11:13In the case next door, if I open it up, you find six exquisite little teaspoons.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17Each one has a different form of bowl,
0:11:17 > 0:11:21either in leaf or floral pattern.
0:11:21 > 0:11:27The stem in each case is a single shaft of silver, topped by a different knop.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30This one is of old fish-face.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32It's actually a little carp.
0:11:32 > 0:11:37If I look at the silver mark on this spoon, it's got some mumbo-jumbo mark on it,
0:11:37 > 0:11:41which is actually the Japanese maker's mark.
0:11:41 > 0:11:46For the very earliest period of Liberty's existence,
0:11:46 > 0:11:51between about 1875 and 1885, they imported
0:11:51 > 0:11:56Oriental wares and sold them in the Regent Street store.
0:11:56 > 0:12:01That is the period that these six little teaspoons date from.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04How much would they cost you?
0:12:04 > 0:12:07For a British-made set of six teaspoons of this period,
0:12:07 > 0:12:11honestly you'd buy them in a nice case for 50 quid.
0:12:11 > 0:12:16But the price of this lot is £420.
0:12:16 > 0:12:23That's what the Liberty cachet is all about, and were you to buy these silver teaspoons,
0:12:23 > 0:12:27it's absolutely essential to keep the box,
0:12:27 > 0:12:33because without that, the connection to Liberty simply wouldn't exist.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Back to the action now.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39The Reds have spent £85 on two pieces, and the Blues
0:12:39 > 0:12:45are slightly behind, having only one item, and still £250 to blow.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Girls, we've got one piece, well done.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49But we need two more!
0:12:49 > 0:12:51We're not doing very well!
0:12:51 > 0:12:53And we've got 22 minutes left. So...
0:12:53 > 0:12:55We're not doing well at all.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59Come on, press on. Have faith. We're gonna find two really good pieces.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02A gem from Gemma is about to turn up. Have a look over here.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Let's go. This way.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11It's a rattle. That's well cute. VENDOR: It's a little bell.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- What do you think, girls? - That's nice. Is it silver?
0:13:16 > 0:13:19It is silver. Because you can see, if you look very carefully...
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- Can you see that hallmark there? - Yep.
0:13:22 > 0:13:28I have to say, I've never seen a rattle in the form of an apple like that. A little novelty piece.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- It's really sweet. - There is a little bit of damage.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35Do you see, they've put the actual bell in here, through this slot,
0:13:35 > 0:13:40but can you see the silver has torn slightly here and here?
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Would that affect its value?
0:13:42 > 0:13:47It would affect the value. For a collector who likes things perfect, that might put them off.
0:13:47 > 0:13:52I have to say it wouldn't bother me, because I think the novelty shape of it, being an apple,
0:13:52 > 0:13:55outweighs the little bit of damage on it.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- How much is it?- Got 62 on there.
0:13:58 > 0:13:59I could do it for 58.
0:13:59 > 0:14:04- Because of that damage, I'd like to see it at sort of...- 40.- Mmm.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07If we meet in the middle at 45...
0:14:07 > 0:14:10I do like it, I think it's really nice.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14I just don't know if we're gonna make anything on it when it goes to auction.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16The damage puts me off.
0:14:16 > 0:14:22To be honest with you, it's had an awful lot of interest today, and I haven't had it in stock very long.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Could be worth the risk, though.
0:14:24 > 0:14:25Could be a risky item.
0:14:25 > 0:14:30It's a gamble. You might get a collector saying, "Gosh, I've never seen a little apple before,"
0:14:30 > 0:14:33and he's prepared to pay a bit more despite the damage.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36I think, we're running out of time, I think we take the risk.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38I do as well. VENDOR: I think, to be honest...
0:14:38 > 0:14:42- 45?- If you get two collectors after it, I think it could fly.- OK.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44It might not, but it could.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Thank you very much. I think we'll take it.
0:14:48 > 0:14:53Well, that was great, because for the first time, I saw the girls coming out of their shells
0:14:53 > 0:14:55and I think Sam is a bit of a hard bargainer underneath.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58She really got stuck in. And we got a pretty good price.
0:14:58 > 0:15:03So, with 12 minutes to go, I think they're finally on a mission.
0:15:03 > 0:15:10Time's ticking away but Jonathan has spotted something he likes.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14So far, a superb name.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16The big French factory of the 18th century.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18We've got plenty of time, so there's no rush.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21- I'm not even panicking yet. - Yes, we've got about ten minutes.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23- Plenty of time.- £100 for the two.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27I don't think you stand to lose very much.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29I think that's one you should run back for.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32You may not be panicking, Andy, but Jonathan sure is.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36I don't know. They're cool as cucumbers.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43What do you think about this, girls?
0:15:43 > 0:15:45That's quite good, isn't it?
0:15:45 > 0:15:47- Is it a coal bucket? - I think it probably is.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Have a closer look.
0:15:49 > 0:15:55What I love is this lovely thistle decoration embossed on the side.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Almost Art Nouveau in date. 1900.
0:15:58 > 0:16:04But you've got lovely paw feet and lion mask handles with rings,
0:16:04 > 0:16:09which are reminiscent of the Regency period of the 1820s.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Is there a lot of them about, though?
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Brass isn't selling well at the moment.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18The market is depressed for brass, copper, pewter.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22Items like this, I would not normally recommend.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25But what has drawn me to this is the lovely shape
0:16:25 > 0:16:29and as a piece of design, it's a really attractive thing.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- It's quite nice.- The price is 150...
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Yes, £150.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37It's quite high.
0:16:37 > 0:16:42It is a lot. If it said 80, I'd say go straight away.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45But then we haven't seen anything else and time is ticking on.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48I know! We need to find something.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- Shall we think about it? Look a bit further?- Yes.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54But bear that in mind, girls, because it's a good thing.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Don't leave it too late, girls. There's just ten minutes to go.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01But how are the Reds doing?
0:17:01 > 0:17:06We've got a fair amount of money left. I think we have the best part of £270 left. So...
0:17:06 > 0:17:12I'm now going to try and encourage them to blow some large money on their last object,
0:17:12 > 0:17:16which I think they ought to choose, with a bit of guidance.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23It's quite simply done and it's very much the 1930s.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26I quite like that. How much is that?
0:17:26 > 0:17:27- That one?- Yes.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29I'm doing that at 35.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- That's Whitby. - That's so nicely done.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- How much is that one?- 65.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38I like that. That's a possible.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40I like that, little ship scenes.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44- I think the Whitby scenes is pretty. Brilliant.- Thank you.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48We'll wonder that way but you may hear us running back. Cheers.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Especially when we run out of time.
0:17:51 > 0:17:56Both teams have us hanging on a limb and they're not rushing into getting that final piece, either.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00Maybe it's because they've seen something already?
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Oh, yes. The coal bucket.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04£150.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- We've got 150.- Yeah.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10That's a gamble but you did both like that.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- We haven't seen many things you've both liked.- No.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Come on, girls. Quick!
0:18:18 > 0:18:22So, we're really short of time and we'd love to buy...
0:18:22 > 0:18:25You can buy it but I can't sell it for less than £150.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29- Oh!- That's rock-bottom, honestly, it really is.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33You can squeeze me to another £5 note but I can't go any lower than that.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35I just can't see it at that at auction.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38All I can say is, you don't have to buy it, ladies.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42Oh, yes they do. There's about three minutes left.
0:18:42 > 0:18:43- 140, just for us?- I can't.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45I'll buy you a cup of tea.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Come on, she'll give you a big kiss.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Will she? Is it worth a big kiss?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- All right, 140.- And a big kiss.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56- 140?- Thank you.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58At last, the Blues have finished.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01How close are the Reds away?
0:19:01 > 0:19:03- You've got two minutes, Jonathan. - Two minutes?!
0:19:04 > 0:19:09- OK, I think, in that respect, you've just got to go and buy those vases.- Vases or pictures?
0:19:09 > 0:19:11- It's your decision. - Vases or pictures?
0:19:11 > 0:19:16I'll go with what you say is the best. I can run up to the pictures now, it'll take 30 seconds.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- It's your decision.- OK.- We've talked enough about both of them.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22- I've given you enough information about both of them.- Pictures?
0:19:22 > 0:19:25- Which do you like the best?- The pictures.- We'll go for pictures.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28OK. Leg it. You've got to get there and buy it within two minutes.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32They're cutting it fine.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Is the man here?
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Yep, he's here.
0:19:39 > 0:19:40- OK.- Local.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- It was the one underneath. - The Whitby one?
0:19:43 > 0:19:45The Whitby one, the windmill and the boats.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Yes. Them three. How much is it again, sir?
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- 100 quid.- Let's go for it.
0:19:50 > 0:19:55- So we're buying three pictures, one lot, £100.- Yes.- Brilliant.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57- Thank you very much.- Like it.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59- There we are. - You can get your breath back now.
0:19:59 > 0:20:05There we have it. Both teams have picked up their three items, only just squeezing it in, though.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Remember, our two experts will be expected to buy
0:20:07 > 0:20:11another item which could help their teams make some extra dosh.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15For now, though, let's look at what the Reds bought.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19First in the can for Andy and John
0:20:19 > 0:20:22was the Victorian wooden writing slope.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Walker and Hall was the name
0:20:24 > 0:20:29on the pair of silver salt cellars from 1902 that Andy found.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31And the boys made a sweat over the last item.
0:20:31 > 0:20:32Let's hope their mad dash
0:20:32 > 0:20:36for the set of three pencil-signed engravings was worth it.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41We just had enough time to get everything in, with a bit of a sprint.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43It was last minute, wasn't it?
0:20:43 > 0:20:45- We had 20 seconds to spare.- Did you?
0:20:45 > 0:20:47We spoke to Jonathan and knew he was a fit boy,
0:20:47 > 0:20:49so we had no problems running up the road to get the last items.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53No, quite. We'll bring on the oxygen in a moment.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- LAUGHTER - How much did you spend overall?
0:20:56 > 0:20:59We spent £185.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02That's brilliant. Which is your favourite piece?
0:21:02 > 0:21:05My favourite piece is probably the three pictures.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07I like the salts. I think they'll do well.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09But I also like the pictures.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11On the day, we'll see what happens.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Quite right too. You spent 185.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15- I'd like £115.- I have this.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- You have to give it to me.- Oh!
0:21:18 > 0:21:20And then the good Lord gives with one hand and he...
0:21:20 > 0:21:22..Takes away with the other.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26There you go, Jonathan. What are you going to do with £115?
0:21:26 > 0:21:31I've seen some very nice little things. I think something portable, that I can put in my pocket.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35All responsibility sits with you, Jonathan.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Let's remind ourselves what the Blues bought.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Sam and Gemma wanted to buy sparkly
0:21:39 > 0:21:41and they did just that, first with
0:21:41 > 0:21:44the silver-cased pocket watch
0:21:44 > 0:21:49and secondly, with the 1920s apple-shaped silver baby's rattle.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Last up, they swapped silver for brass
0:21:52 > 0:21:54in the shape of an oval coal bin.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- So, you've just finished.- Yep.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01Well done. Right to the last second. What's going on?
0:22:01 > 0:22:05Are you just disorganised? Why is it that it took you such a long time?
0:22:05 > 0:22:08- Choosy.- Choosy, yeah.- Yeah.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10How much did you spend?
0:22:10 > 0:22:12£235.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14£235 well spent.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Which is your favourite piece?
0:22:16 > 0:22:19The watch, the pocket watch.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- What about you?- I'm split between the watch and the apple.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25I think it apple is a bit of a risk but it might be good.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29- Is that the thing that will make the most profit?- I think it might do.
0:22:29 > 0:22:34That's it, then. I'd like £65 of leftover lolly, which goes straight to Kate.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38- Thank you.- You're going to spend this very speedily, aren't you?
0:22:38 > 0:22:40I'm going to go and make a snappy decision.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43That's a pointed remark.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46For me, I'm heading off somewhere seriously holy.
0:22:46 > 0:22:51Very holy indeed, as I've come to Lincoln Cathedral.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Much of the cathedral dates back to the 13th century,
0:22:54 > 0:22:59when it was given a Gothic makeover, the must-have look of the day.
0:22:59 > 0:23:05A defining characteristic of your average English cathedral is the Bishop's chair.
0:23:07 > 0:23:12Lincoln houses a grand example of what's called a cathedra.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16The word itself is derived from the Greek "cathedra"
0:23:16 > 0:23:20meaning literally a teacher's chair.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29And right next door, this is St Hugh's choir,
0:23:29 > 0:23:31which was created in 1141.
0:23:31 > 0:23:38It's the space that's effectively the heart and hub of the cathedral.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42Running around the perimeter are 53 stalls.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46There are 53 canon connected with the cathedral
0:23:46 > 0:23:51and each of them would have their own individual space.
0:23:51 > 0:23:56We've got cusps, arches, we've got crocketed finials
0:23:56 > 0:24:01and above that sits a saint in all his splendour.
0:24:07 > 0:24:14I want you to imagine that you're a peasant who's come into receive the sacrament in the cathedral in 1500.
0:24:14 > 0:24:22In your whitewashed hovel that you call home, there is absolutely no decoration at all.
0:24:22 > 0:24:27You come to the cathedral to take your sacrament and kneel,
0:24:27 > 0:24:29looking up at this screen,
0:24:29 > 0:24:35with the gentle light pouring through these towering pinnacles.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Your breath would be taken away.
0:24:49 > 0:24:54Not all the carvings in the choir date back to the 1400s.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58Just look at this splendid example of a pulpit.
0:24:58 > 0:25:03Here we've got something that was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott
0:25:03 > 0:25:06and erected in 1863.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10On the outset corners we've got standing figures of Matthew, Mark,
0:25:10 > 0:25:16Luke and John, all carved expertly out of a single block of oak.
0:25:16 > 0:25:21And in-between are panels carved alto relievo,
0:25:21 > 0:25:24with Our Lord going about his sermons.
0:25:24 > 0:25:30Just goes to show the Victorians knew a thing or two about carving also.
0:25:30 > 0:25:35The big question today is how are our teams going to get on over at the auction?
0:25:35 > 0:25:40Is it going to be a question of divine intervention, perhaps?
0:25:48 > 0:25:54So, we've come 58 miles south of Grimsthorpe to the Derbyshire village of Mackworth
0:25:54 > 0:25:58- to be with Charles Hanson. How are you?- Very well, thank you.
0:25:58 > 0:26:05- John and Andy, these Reds, they went with this Victorian rosewood and maple writing slope.- Yes.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Is that something that's going to take off in the sale?
0:26:08 > 0:26:13It's a bit tatty, Tim. It's got the crack running across the centre horizontally.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16It's a bit tired and it's fairly middle of the road.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Yes. What's your estimate?
0:26:18 > 0:26:21My guide price is between £40 and £60.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25That's not too bad. They paid £55. So we're in the ballpark, Charles.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27- We are. - With a bit of expert auctioneering.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30- I hope so. - Which I shall be relying on.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32The matched pair of silver salts.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36They're beautifully cast with the sea scrolls
0:26:36 > 0:26:38on the heavy paw feet.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Always popular in salerooms.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43They're fairly fresh on the market from their condition.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47- My guide price is £30 to £50. - Brilliant. £30 paid.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49What about these three prints.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- Actually, they're etchings. - They are.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54There's different views.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Sutton Bridge there.
0:26:56 > 0:27:01They're good quality but they're a fairly restricted market
0:27:01 > 0:27:03and they can fly, they can fall.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Give us your worst shot, Carlos.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08For the three, between £50 and £60.
0:27:08 > 0:27:16£100 was paid. The whole team bought into this lot so Jonathan and the guys, they're all responsible.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20But remember, we must entice, we want to encourage, and obviously
0:27:20 > 0:27:24there are market-fresh so hopefully my guide price will be surpassed.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27If there's a problem with that they're going to need
0:27:27 > 0:27:30their bonus buy, frankly, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34John and Andy, you spent £185.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38£115 of leftover lolly went to Jonathan Pratt.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40What did he do with it?
0:27:40 > 0:27:44- Oh!- It could be slightly painful, this.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46- That is a big one. - It stuck in the end.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Lovely reveal, that. One of our better ones.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53You'd better tell the boys about it before they break it.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55It's a desk blotter.
0:27:55 > 0:27:56It's fantastic.
0:27:56 > 0:28:01It's just nicely carved. There's a lot of detail in it.
0:28:01 > 0:28:06- How much did you spend?- I paid £70. - £70?- Yeah.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Is it going to make a profit for us?
0:28:08 > 0:28:11I think it stands a chance. It's an unusual thing
0:28:11 > 0:28:14and these Bavarian pieces can be quite unpredictable.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16So I have high hopes for it.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19The guy who sold it to me assured me it would make money!
0:28:19 > 0:28:21On that happy note, that's what you hang on to.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25You decide later, after the sale of your first three items,
0:28:25 > 0:28:30but for the viewers at home, let's find out what they think about Jonathan's blotter.
0:28:30 > 0:28:36- Over to you. - Thank you. Tim. A Bavarian bear. It must be, in period, 1890, 1910.
0:28:36 > 0:28:42It's difficult to date, but do you rate it from the carving? It's nice and crisp.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44The bear is really well carved.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46- I do like it.- What's your estimate?
0:28:46 > 0:28:50- My guide price would be between £50 and £70.- Jonathan paid £70.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53- Fine.- He's hoping for the very best.
0:28:53 > 0:28:57As we all are. I'll pop it on top of there. Charming.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59- Sits well.- That's it for the Reds.
0:28:59 > 0:29:04Now for the Blues, and what a wacky mix they've got.
0:29:04 > 0:29:05They have.
0:29:05 > 0:29:10Fairly standard, open-faced, key-wound silver pocket watch.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12It is. Edwardian, good condition.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14No real signs of wear and tear.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18- How much, do you think?- They tend to make between £40 and £45.
0:29:18 > 0:29:23- £50 on a good day.- We need a good day because they paid £55.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26The baby's rattle in the form of an apple.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29When it comes to silver, novelty always sells.
0:29:29 > 0:29:35- In its shape of an apple, yes, it's got that charm about it.- 1920s? - Twenties. It's well hallmarked.
0:29:35 > 0:29:41- My guide price would be between £25 and £35.- Kate paid 45.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45- It ought to hopefully get there. - Yes.- If we're lucky.- Lovely.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49- This oval boiler.- Yes.- Do you like it?- It's a good lump.
0:29:49 > 0:29:55I think it has great style. It sits well but I'm not sure what its use would have been originally.
0:29:55 > 0:30:02They bought it as a coal tub but a more impractical and ridiculous coal tub you can't imagine, can you?
0:30:02 > 0:30:07- No. It's got the liner... but I don't know. - Do you know what I rate about this?
0:30:07 > 0:30:13I think it's Dutch and it started off life completely plain and what they did was
0:30:13 > 0:30:20to bring over a lot of continental metalwork in the 19th century and emboss it up around about 1900.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24And some Scottish embosser embossed this with the thistles
0:30:24 > 0:30:29but it's a dead plain piece of Dutch or Netherlandish brass.
0:30:29 > 0:30:34And it could date from the late 18th century, early 19th century.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36- I see that now.- Can you see that?
0:30:36 > 0:30:40The whole thing with how it sits in the style doesn't sit so well
0:30:40 > 0:30:44- but in the arts and crafts format it has that presence.- It does.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46Imagine it without any feet.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49Because the feet were put on at the time it was embossed.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52Then think about it as a fish kettle.
0:30:52 > 0:30:59- Think about it as a cookery object that you'd shove in your Dutch oven, with a lobster in it.- Got it, yes.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01That's what it started off life as.
0:31:01 > 0:31:06And now, poor thing, it's become a coal tub. The ultimate insult.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09- It tells a story.- It tells a story.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11But anyway, having said that...
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Today the market for copper and brass is quite difficult.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17My guide price would be £50 to £70, which might seem
0:31:17 > 0:31:23a bit expensive but I hope the audience will see its true merits in the period.
0:31:23 > 0:31:28You think 50 to 70 might be a bit expensive? They paid £140 for this.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32- There could be a big loss, Tim, unfortunately.- Oh, my Lordy.
0:31:32 > 0:31:38One thing is for certain, they're going to need their bonus buy. So let's go and have a look at it.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40Gemma and Samantha.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42- How are you both?- Fine, thank you.
0:31:42 > 0:31:43- Feeling nervy?- A little bit.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47We're going to find out what Kate spent all that leftover lolly on.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50£235 you spent.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53Kate was given £65.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56- Did she blow the lot?- Almost.
0:31:56 > 0:32:00I've gone for something a little scientific.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04We bought some great-looking pieces but this is very functional as well.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08It's a little desk brass-cased aneroid barometer.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11What I like is you can see the workings.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15You can see how it all hangs together.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19So I thought that was a rather sweet little thing. £60 is what I paid.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22- I like it.- I like it. It's nice. - Does it work?
0:32:22 > 0:32:24It does work, as far as I know.
0:32:24 > 0:32:28We're on "fair" at the moment, which is looking slightly dubious.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Don't tap it - it might rain!
0:32:30 > 0:32:35- Have a look.- See what you think. - How much do you think it's worth?
0:32:35 > 0:32:38I would estimate it at 50 to 80.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41So I think it's got room for some profit.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43- I like it.- I do.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46I'd have bought this if I'd seen it.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49Well done, Kate. You decide later.
0:32:49 > 0:32:55For the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about the barometer.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57- It says "change".- It does.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00It's blowing fine, today, Tim, hopefully.
0:33:00 > 0:33:05Will it be small change or do you think it's large change?
0:33:05 > 0:33:09It's circa 1890, 1910. It would have had its friend originally,
0:33:09 > 0:33:12- maybe it's time companion. - Yes, off a desk.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15As part of a set on a desktop.
0:33:15 > 0:33:21I think it's going to realise between £40 and £70.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23- Kate paid £60.- Right.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27So we could be heading for stormy weather.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34Andrew and John.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Are you feeling positive?
0:33:36 > 0:33:40- Absolutely fantastic. - We're going to win.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43- You're going to win?- Yes.- You're going to hammer the Blues, are you?
0:33:43 > 0:33:47We'll take them down like they've never been taken down before.
0:33:47 > 0:33:48They won't know what hit them.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52Well, we have had chat like this before on Bargain Hunt.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56It's called fighting talk but I don't blame you for being confident.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59First up is the writing slope and here it comes.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03- We now go on to number 135.- Ooh.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07Victorian rosewood and maple inlaid writing slope.
0:34:07 > 0:34:12Nice box. I am bid straight in here on my book at 40.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15Do I see five now? Come on. 40.
0:34:15 > 0:34:20I'll take 5, 50, 5, 60, 5. I'm out.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23- Please.- Do I see 70?
0:34:23 > 0:34:26£65. Make a name for yourself. Going once,
0:34:26 > 0:34:28going twice, to you, sir, standing.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31At £65.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33- Get in there.- Come on!
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Plus £10, Jonathan, I like it!
0:34:35 > 0:34:38136, a lovely pair of silver salt cellars, matched.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40Lots of interest, here.
0:34:40 > 0:34:45I'm bid 30. Do I see 5 now? Come on.
0:34:45 > 0:34:465, 40, 5...
0:34:46 > 0:34:51I've got eight. 50. And I'm out.
0:34:51 > 0:34:5250 there.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57- Come on. At 50...- Come on!
0:34:57 > 0:35:00We sell at £50.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03£20 profit on that plus 20 on that.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05- You're 30 overall. - I tell you what, ooh!.
0:35:05 > 0:35:10- Steady now. Settle. Cross your legs. - I like these. They'll go well.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12They're being shown now, three of them.
0:35:12 > 0:35:17And they're very nice engravings, in their original frames, I'm sure.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20And they're very, very nice.
0:35:20 > 0:35:21I have interest here.
0:35:21 > 0:35:26- Good.- I'll start with a bid at £30.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29- Come on, come on!- Do I see 2?
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Come on. 30, I'll take two. Four?
0:35:31 > 0:35:33Oh, dear.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35- What?!- I'll take 2, 5, 8.
0:35:35 > 0:35:3940, 5, are you sure? I'll take 2 if it helps.
0:35:39 > 0:35:442, thank you. 45, sir?
0:35:44 > 0:35:46Yes. 48, go on!
0:35:46 > 0:35:48This is not looking good.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51OK, £45 to you, sir.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53I'll take 8. The gavel falls.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55You're minus £55.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58- Got a good deal there. - Minus £55,
0:35:58 > 0:36:02which means overall, you're minus £25.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05After all that initial success.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07Minus £25.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09Listen, what are you going to do about the blotter?
0:36:09 > 0:36:13As we're down, we might as well go for it.
0:36:13 > 0:36:14But it could be a winning score.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17But it's not a WINNING score.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20It's not a winners' score. We are winners.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23- We want to win big time.- Our expert is confident.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25It's his reputation on this.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28You don't have a lot of time.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31It's coming up any second.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34- We'll go for it.- We're going with the Bavarian blotter.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36For better or for worse. And here it comes.
0:36:36 > 0:36:37It's a very nice
0:36:37 > 0:36:42Bavarian carved desk blotter and we have got some interest here.
0:36:42 > 0:36:50I will start with a bid conflicting at 22, 5, 8, 30 on my book.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Do I see 2 for it?
0:36:52 > 0:36:56Surely 2. Come on. 32, 5, 8.
0:36:56 > 0:36:5940, 5. Come on, Sir Paul.
0:36:59 > 0:37:00No? Are you sure?
0:37:00 > 0:37:0440. I'll take 5 now, surely.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07Going once, twice, three times, lady, we go.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10At £40 we sell it.
0:37:10 > 0:37:15£40. That's minus 30 on that. Turned out to be a rotter, not a blotter.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18And it is now minus £55.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20That's a proper losing score!
0:37:20 > 0:37:22You're not mucking about, are you?
0:37:22 > 0:37:24- No, no, no.- All or nothing.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27Well, listen, don't tell the Blues a thing.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30- I'd go out looking victorious if I were you.- We will.
0:37:30 > 0:37:31That might depress them, at least.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33- And we'll see what happens. - Excellent.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44- Do you know how the Reds have done, those naughty boys?- No.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47Because they've been pretty bullish, haven't they?
0:37:47 > 0:37:51They've been pretty positive about what they're going to do to beat you girls up.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53And are they going to win, do you think?
0:37:53 > 0:37:56- Or are you going to win? - We're going to win.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59- We're going to win.- I think it's a bit of hare and tortoise here.
0:37:59 > 0:38:00And who won in the end?
0:38:00 > 0:38:05Quite right, too. That's a very nice analogy there, Kate.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07Anyway, it's about having a laugh
0:38:07 > 0:38:11and the first laugh we'll have is about the watch. Here it comes.
0:38:11 > 0:38:16155, a delightful Chester silver hallmarked pocket watch.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19And I am bid £25.
0:38:19 > 0:38:238, 30, 2, 5, 8, 40, 5, I'm out.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26- 50, 5, one more, sir. - You're in profit.
0:38:26 > 0:38:31I'll take 2. 2, 5, 8? Are you sure?
0:38:31 > 0:38:3555, now. Do I see 8, surely? 8, 60?
0:38:35 > 0:38:38You're in, sir, at £58, seated.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41At £58 to you, sir.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43We say sale.
0:38:43 > 0:38:4558. You're £8 up.
0:38:45 > 0:38:46That's brilliant. Plus £8.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49- Well done.- That's a good start. Now your rattle.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51My number is now 156.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53Delightful rattle.
0:38:53 > 0:38:58Silver. And I am bid 18, 22, 5, 8.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01Do I see £30 for it?
0:39:01 > 0:39:04At £28, do I see 30 now? All done.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07I look for 30, surely. Come on!
0:39:07 > 0:39:13- Gosh, that's nothing! - At £28, all done at £28.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15We say sale.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18That's two off 30.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21That means you're minus 17 on that.
0:39:21 > 0:39:25It means you're minus £9 at this point.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27157 is a delightful Scottish
0:39:27 > 0:39:31arts and crafts later-embossed or chased...
0:39:31 > 0:39:34maybe a kettle tin, or fish.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37- Good man.- I've got one, two, three bids for it.
0:39:37 > 0:39:42- Ooh.- So I will start at £60
0:39:42 > 0:39:47and go 5, 75, 85, 95 and 100.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49Do I see 105 for it?
0:39:49 > 0:39:55At 100, 105, 110, 15, no?
0:39:55 > 0:39:59You're out at 110. Do I see 115 now?
0:39:59 > 0:40:02At £110, all done?
0:40:02 > 0:40:03Yes, we have.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07£110. It's not as bad as it might have been.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09That could have been a lot worse.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11That's minus £30.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14Overall, you're minus £39.
0:40:14 > 0:40:19You could stick at that or you could have a punt at the barometer.
0:40:19 > 0:40:24- So what do you fancy doing? - I think no. I think we shouldn't.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27- You think you shouldn't?- Yeah.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29I'd go with your gut instinct.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31- You pick.- No, you pick.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34- You pick. - Quickly. It's coming up now.
0:40:34 > 0:40:35Go for it. Go for it.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37- Shall we not do it?- OK, don't do it.
0:40:37 > 0:40:42- We are or we aren't?- We're not doing it.- Not doing it. Are you sure? Because here it comes right now.
0:40:42 > 0:40:47A very nice Edwardian brass aneroid desk barometer. There it is.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51I am bid here only £25.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54Do I see 8 for it? Come on.
0:40:54 > 0:40:588, ma'am. 30, 2, and I'm out.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01Do I see 5? Surely 5? Come on.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04At £32. Do I see 5 now?
0:41:04 > 0:41:10I'll take 5 from somebody. We sell to you, the front row, at £32.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12£32.
0:41:12 > 0:41:13A good decision, girls.
0:41:13 > 0:41:18I think you did well, there. Because that's minus £28 on that, isn't it?
0:41:18 > 0:41:23You don't have those minus £28 cos you clever girls didn't go with it.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25That's so good. So overall,
0:41:25 > 0:41:29you're minus £39, all right? That could be a winning score.
0:41:29 > 0:41:34Don't tell those beastly boys, the Blues, a thing.
0:41:40 > 0:41:44- You teams been talking to one another? No communications?- No.- No.
0:41:44 > 0:41:49Because the Reds made pretty strong predictions, I seem to remember.
0:41:49 > 0:41:53A certain amount of testosterone was being chucked around.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56Well, the moment of truth is now here.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59And I have to reveal that the runners-up today
0:41:59 > 0:42:05are the Reds. I'm so sorry. You are minus £55.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07It started off so well for you guys.
0:42:07 > 0:42:13- It did.- But, oh boy, did it go wrong thereafter.- Oh, yes.
0:42:13 > 0:42:19Engravings, a £55 hit on that was a difficult blow to recover from,
0:42:19 > 0:42:25- so rounding it up, minus £55. But have you had a good time? - Very good time.- Brilliant time.
0:42:25 > 0:42:30We've loved having you on the programme. Bad luck for being runners up. But the victors today,
0:42:30 > 0:42:34look at these girls! All giggling and very, very pleased.
0:42:34 > 0:42:40Didn't look so swift but then that strategic decision not to go with the bonus buy
0:42:40 > 0:42:45really saved your bacon because overall you're minus £39.
0:42:45 > 0:42:50So there's no great plus score here to counterbalance your minus score
0:42:50 > 0:42:54but nevertheless, it's a winning score and I congratulate you.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57- Good time?- Yes, great. - Brilliant.- Lovely.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59So nice to see you on the show.
0:42:59 > 0:43:03- Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?- Yes!
