0:00:05 > 0:00:07In times of financial hardship,
0:00:07 > 0:00:11isn't it nice to know that there's still somewhere that you can go
0:00:11 > 0:00:16and be given £300 to go and buy whatever you like,
0:00:16 > 0:00:21providing it's not a lot of old tat and it'll make a profit at auction.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24So let's go bargain-hunting!
0:00:48 > 0:00:53Here we are in the County Showground in Newark,
0:00:53 > 0:00:56with all sorts of fun and frolics in store.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Where the hell was the Moorcroft?
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Well, there's tension on today's show.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03We've got family feuds with the Reds...
0:01:03 > 0:01:06- We've just got to buy something. How much is this?- We can't do that.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08We've just got to buy something!
0:01:08 > 0:01:11..expert arguments with the Blues...
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- Shall we take a chance on 140? What do you think?- Yes.
0:01:14 > 0:01:19Much to David's disgust, but there you go.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21I want them gift-wrapped for that.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24And the feuding continues at the auction.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26- What?- I think we'll stick. - What do you mean?
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- You're not going with the bowl? - OK, we'll go.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34So grab your tea and biccies, put your feet up
0:01:34 > 0:01:37and I'll introduce you to the teams.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45So today, for the Reds, we've got father and daughter,
0:01:45 > 0:01:50George and Krista, and partners Lee and James for the Blues.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Welcome, everybody, lovely to see you.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56So, George, you're keeping it all in the family, what?
0:01:56 > 0:01:57Yes, I am. Krista's here.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- She organised the day for me to come here.- Did she?
0:02:00 > 0:02:03She contacted me one day, completely out of the blue.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05And said, "You're on Bargain Hunt, Dad!"
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Yeah, and I slumped back in the settee in a state of shock.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- And you have a passion for antiques, don't you?- I do, yes.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- I collect Whitefriars glass, Powell...- Powell as well, yeah.
0:02:16 > 0:02:22And we've got some dating from about 1877 right through the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s up to Baxter.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23You go as far as Baxter?
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Yeah. Anything and everything.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Let's hope you find some.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- Thank you.- Fingers crossed.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Is your father an inspiration to you, Krista?
0:02:31 > 0:02:37He is, yes, certainly in the areas of antiques and collectibles, and he's passed a few pieces on to me...
0:02:37 > 0:02:39A lot of tips, we hope.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Yeah, absolutely. Hopefully they'll be useful today.
0:02:42 > 0:02:48- And you had a brush with television in the past?- Yeah, I auditioned for The Big Breakfast weather presenter.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52I was probably about 17 and queued for six hours, six or seven hours,
0:02:52 > 0:02:59- outside of Earls Court, and then went in and completely fluffed the audition...- Oh, no!
0:02:59 > 0:03:03I put the sun where the clouds should be and the rain where the sun should be.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- Yeah, it didn't go very well. - Oh, dear. So that was it, then?
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- No, not famous.- No more telly presenting work for you.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14- That's it, no.- I hope you have better luck today. Thank you.
0:03:14 > 0:03:19Although it's looking rather grey. Whether we'll be lucky with the weather, I don't know,
0:03:19 > 0:03:21and I feel rather, kind of, damp myself.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Anyway, you guys - are you scared or not?
0:03:24 > 0:03:28- No, we're ready. We're ready. - You're ready for them.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Very good. How did you two meet, Lee?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33We met through friends of friends. We were at the same birthday meal,
0:03:33 > 0:03:37got talking, ended up swapping numbers and the rest is history.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Lovely. And do you collect?
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Well, it wasn't an intentional collection but my dad
0:03:43 > 0:03:47took me to football matches so I'm quite a big Stockport County fan,
0:03:47 > 0:03:53so I've had a collection of football programmes building up for quite a few years.
0:03:53 > 0:03:54Now, Jimmy, what do you do?
0:03:54 > 0:03:57I'm a sexual health nurse advisor.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Ooh, God. What does that mean?
0:03:59 > 0:04:02We go along to pubs and clubs and we do some screening,
0:04:02 > 0:04:06we do education in schools and colleges and the main thing we do
0:04:06 > 0:04:08is Chlamydia testing on people under 25.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Gosh, that sounds painful! Now, are you into footy too?
0:04:12 > 0:04:16I am now. I never used to be Lee's got me involved with Stockport County.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20I enjoy going to the matches and I know a bit more about football than I ever used to.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- You've got your own scarf, I hope? - I have indeed.- Very good.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Now, this is the money moment.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28We've got £300 here, £300 coming up. All right, ready for this?
0:04:28 > 0:04:32There's your £300, £300 apiece. You know the rules.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Your experts await, and off you go. And very, very, very good luck.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38So will it be the footy-mad Blues
0:04:38 > 0:04:43or the antiques-mad Reds who make the biggest score today?
0:04:43 > 0:04:47And keeping an eye on our teams are experts...
0:04:49 > 0:04:54Now, let's get moving. Remember, you only have 60 minutes from now!
0:04:56 > 0:05:00Some either sporting memorabilia or some kind of autographed piece possibly.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- Maybe look for a painting as well. - Painting? OK, OK.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07We just want something a bit different, don't we? A bit quirky.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Anything traditional and unique that's quite eye-catching.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13I'm not really interested in silver.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Well, both teams seem to have a good idea about what they want,
0:05:17 > 0:05:20but as we know on this show, anything could happen.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Seen anything you like, Dad?
0:05:22 > 0:05:26There's a little tazza there, a Victorian Majolica tazza,
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- but it's got a little chip in the bottom, I think.- How big is it?
0:05:30 > 0:05:35- Cracked.- A crack, yeah.- Is that how you test that?- You can hear that...
0:05:35 > 0:05:38- Yeah, you can hear it.- Unlucky. - That's good to know, yeah.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42- That could've been a good call. - Yeah, shame.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46David's doing a spot of naval gazing.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50This is sort of naval items,
0:05:50 > 0:05:54and this would've been on the bulkhead of a ship, so the very fact that it says,
0:05:54 > 0:06:00"Stop, let off, half, half, volume..." this would indicate down to the boiler room
0:06:00 > 0:06:05what sort of pressure is required by the captain up in the bridge.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09I like it. I think it's unique. It's something I've not seen before.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- Let's have a think about it, eh?- Yeah.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15- I don't think, at £120, it's going to walk fast.- Right, OK.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22What is it, Dad? A reading table. There's a price on it.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25140. Aye, it's enough money at that.
0:06:25 > 0:06:30- If you could get it for 60 quid, I'd be going for it. I'll ask.- Yeah.
0:06:30 > 0:06:35With the seller away from his stall, it's down to his apprentice to act as the middle man.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37- What are you thinking of about?- 60?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39No, he can't do that much.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- He'd do 120, he said.- Oh, no. - That would be it.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- Cos it's quite a nice thing, that. - It is.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48They're quirky, which is why I like them, but they're never
0:06:48 > 0:06:52great sellers because people don't know what to do with them.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Do me a favour. At the risk of being really irritating, ask him
0:06:55 > 0:06:59if there's any way on God's Earth he could do it for 80 quid.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02It's just that it cost him not much less than that so...
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- Oh, aye, aye, aye. - Can you do any better than that?
0:07:05 > 0:07:09Yeah? Oh, right. Right.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11He says he'll do it for 100.
0:07:11 > 0:07:16100... Er...
0:07:16 > 0:07:19If you ask again, you'll get it for 80 quid.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- What do you think? It's quirky as hell.- It is, yeah.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26- It's a full-on piece of Victorian furniture.- It's quite nice.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29I'd go in at 80-120 as my estimate on that. It's got to be worth that.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33Ask him... Bat your eyelids and say, "Look, at 80 quid, it's..."
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Go on, Dad, bat your eyelids!
0:07:35 > 0:07:38It'll have to be 100. He can't do any less than that.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- What about 85?- He really wouldn't. He's dropped it down from 140.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- Has he got 145 on that? - What about 90, meet halfway?
0:07:45 > 0:07:47140. He has been really straight and really generous.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50And he's got to make a profit at the end of the day.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Is he not going to...? Ask him if he'd do another tenner,
0:07:53 > 0:07:55and I know he's taking pain,
0:07:55 > 0:07:59but...they're going to take more pain on national TV!
0:07:59 > 0:08:02It'll be a brown paper bag job for me, I can tell you!
0:08:02 > 0:08:06I'll ask him. He might knock a fiver off, but he might just stick at 100.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- Say we're nice sorts.- Yeah.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Right. See ya.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16- He says he'll knock you a fiver off that.- A fiver off - 95.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Well, I think it's worth 80-120 so you're right in the middle.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Yeah, yeah...
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- OK, I think...- We'll take it? 95.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26- OK, yeah.- We'll go for it, yeah.
0:08:26 > 0:08:32Some very persuasive negotiating by the Red team means they bagged their first item in 20 minutes.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36Negotiating, I think, is all about just asking civilly, you know.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Where is the happy ground where we both benefit?
0:08:39 > 0:08:41I think they've done all right.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Meanwhile, David's getting down and dirty with the Blues.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48- I think it's art glass.- Right.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50And if I look through the side,
0:08:50 > 0:08:53you can see it's got these little bubbles.
0:08:53 > 0:08:58It's something you might find from sort of the Monart factory which I think is quite nice.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- It's different, isn't it?- It is.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03It's filthy!
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Absolutely filthy. Let's see.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08What's the price there?
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- How much?- Yes.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- It's filthy.- I know it is, yeah.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15That's how it came out. Tenner?
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Five.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Go on, yeah, OK.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Hold it.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- What do you think, Lee? - Different.- It is.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33I've not seen anything like it. What's the green...?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36It's just dirt, I think!
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Oh, wow, look at that once it's clean!
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Yes.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45- OK?- Yeah, let's go for it.- £5. - It'll be your job to clean. OK.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47I think it has possibilities, that one.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Blimey! Yours for a fiver?
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Don't go too mad with your money, will you, David?
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- That's quite nice. Nice colours. - That's a Moorcroft.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- Yeah, it's quite nice. - Nice wee bowl.- It's a pansy.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- How much is on it?- 30.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08And what would that go for in auction?
0:10:08 > 0:10:10- Is the condition all right? - Yeah.- Yeah?
0:10:10 > 0:10:14- There's nothing the matter with that, is there?- Elegant, it's nice.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17That's got to be worth 20-40, 50 if you're lucky,
0:10:17 > 0:10:20so it's about right, but squeeze it down a little?
0:10:20 > 0:10:23OK, give it a go.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25(Obviously doing a lot here.)
0:10:25 > 0:10:29- Yeah, you see loads of it on this programme.- Willing to do it for 25.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- It's 30 at the moment, so... - What do you think?
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- I think we just think about it and come back later.- Yeah.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- It's always an option at the end of the day.- See what else there is.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Call back later, that's if it's still here. Keep looking?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43All right, then. Great, thanks.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Always a risky strategy.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47It might just not be there when you come back.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51Now, what sort of paintings are you looking for? Northern art?
0:10:51 > 0:10:55- Maybe a scene from the north?- A scene from the north. Oh, dear, oh, dear.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Northern Japan!
0:11:01 > 0:11:03That's quite good.
0:11:03 > 0:11:04It's modern.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10I don't know the artist but it's quite effective.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12I'd call it a room-furnishing picture.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16From a distance it looks marvellous, close up not so hot.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24- Do you like that?- Yeah, I like that.
0:11:24 > 0:11:30If anybody asked me what to collect, I'd suggest they collect Portmeirion pottery
0:11:30 > 0:11:35because it's still fairly plentiful and it's such marvellous designs.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37- Sir, the Portmeirion...- Which one? - Phoenix.
0:11:37 > 0:11:43Um, I can do it for 45 for the set.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44How much, sir?
0:11:44 > 0:11:46- 45.- 45.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- Is that the very best you can do? - Do it for 40.
0:11:49 > 0:11:5140.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- What do you think? - Lovely, stylish set.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56- Very, very, stylish set. - One for the future.- Yeah.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00- Well, that's what I would say. - And that one there.- That I like.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04I think that's very, very present, and the cups are big,
0:12:04 > 0:12:07but you're looking at very stylish, iconic 1950s, 60s.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11That sort of period. Can you do it for 35, please?
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- That one there?- Yeah.- Yeah, go on.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15So 35. It's up to you.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19- Shall we have a closer look? - Yeah, let's have a look.- OK.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22And while the boys check the set over,
0:12:22 > 0:12:24shrewd David just can't resist another haggle.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26- It's got to be 35.- 32.50?
0:12:26 > 0:12:2835. LAUGHTER
0:12:28 > 0:12:3135... Are you happy at 35?
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- Yes.- Yes, £35?- Yes.- You sure?- Yes.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- Fantastic.- Fantastic.
0:12:37 > 0:12:42James and Lee have bought two items but, with only 20 minutes to go,
0:12:42 > 0:12:45the Reds have still only bought one thing.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47- The clock's ticking, team. No time for a tea-break.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51- Dad?- What's your immediate reaction to that as a piece of design?
0:12:51 > 0:12:56- Yeah, it's very nice.- If you've an eye for 20th-century glass, you can see the quality in that.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58It's called Picquot Ware,
0:12:58 > 0:13:00immediate post-war period.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03It's got a few more scratches on it, this one, but that's age, isn't it?
0:13:03 > 0:13:06What strikes me is the burnish on it. That is really sharp.
0:13:06 > 0:13:12These things, when they're abused, they oxidise and they're a lost cause. That is really sharp.
0:13:12 > 0:13:13And the trays OK, isn't it?
0:13:13 > 0:13:17The trays don't survive. Where I come from, that's a £50 set...
0:13:17 > 0:13:19And it's useable as well, isn't it?
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- Absolutely.- It's nice. - Really good lines.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26It's not just an ordinary square tray, you know.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29It's nice bevel here, bevel there as well, and the chrome.
0:13:29 > 0:13:34- Excuse me, what's your best on the...?- 25, darling.- 25?
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- Yeah, that is my best. - What are you thinking, Krista?
0:13:37 > 0:13:39I was thinking about 15.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41- No, no way.- She's hard, our Krista.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43- No, 25's the absolute best.- OK.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47Would you for it for 20? I'm sorry, 25. 22?
0:13:47 > 0:13:49- It's a hard woman you're dealing with.- 25.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- I think it's £25, folks. - The tray's worth that. Yeah.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- Yeah.- Give it a go? - Yeah, give it a go, Paul.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56I think it's a good thing.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00- OK. Thank you. - 25, thank you very much.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Well, it's going quite well.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08They've got an idea of what they actually like and what they actually want.
0:14:08 > 0:14:14We've got so much money to spend now - well over £200 - so we've got to look for that extra-special thing.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17I think James is very keen on buying a painting,
0:14:17 > 0:14:21but we've got to be careful because paintings are all subjective.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26- Where does this look like...? - That looks terrible.- Oh, right!
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- Oh, no!- Do you know what I'm going to say to you?
0:14:31 > 0:14:34I'm going to say - we'll keep looking for paintings
0:14:34 > 0:14:39- but I feel that we should also keep open to anything else.- OK.- OK.
0:14:39 > 0:14:44No, David, what you're saying is - you don't want them to buy a painting.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Just remember, it's not up to you.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Meanwhile, over on the Red team,
0:14:48 > 0:14:53it seems that Krista's choices aren't going down too well either.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Murano Latticino. I think that's a bit twee.
0:14:58 > 0:14:59What's this?
0:15:02 > 0:15:07- No.- No! - My inexperience. What's this?
0:15:07 > 0:15:09That one looks quite good to me.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13- No, no, that's not...- I think it's pretty but Dad's not keen.
0:15:13 > 0:15:19- What about the Bunnykins?- Doesn't smack you in the face.- No, not keen.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Oh, dear, poor Krista.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24What's the metal with the guy sort of doing this? No...
0:15:24 > 0:15:26It's probably spelter.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27- The statue.- No, it's spelter.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Not keen, no.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32I'll get there in the end, find something.
0:15:32 > 0:15:38Still, it's not all gloom and doom, and David seems to have steered his team away from the paintings.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- What about the mouse bookends? - What's the price on that one?
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- The price underneath... - That one.- Yeah.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47£165.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Robert Mouseman Thompson.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55A pair of oak bookends.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59- I'd like to see those well under 100.- OK.- Right.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01- Excuse me, sir.- Excuse me.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- How much can you do on the bookends? A really good price for us.- 145.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- Too much.- Too much. No?
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Is that the very best you can do - £145?
0:16:10 > 0:16:14140, then, seeing as you're such a good-looking chap.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18- And my wife fancies you. - I'll give you 160 for that.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20OK, let's cogitate on that.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22- OK.- OK.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26But there's only ten minutes to go, team, and with the pressure on to buy their last item,
0:16:26 > 0:16:32it's those Mouseman bookends that are just preying on James's mind.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35- I remember my grandma telling me about...- The Mouseman.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39..the Mouseman on the furniture, and my grandma describing it to me...
0:16:39 > 0:16:42So it's full of sentimentality and emotion?
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Yeah, I think so.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47- Do you feel...?- I'm confident in you.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49- Shall we go for it? - Come on, then.- Let's go and see.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51It's got to be cheaper than 140.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53- Has it?- Mmm. Let's go and see.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Let's go and see what he can do.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00Five minutes left, and the Reds are starting to sweat.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02What do you think, folks?
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Are we still looking or getting to the point where...?
0:17:04 > 0:17:09- Give it another couple of minutes. If we can't find anything, we'll have to...- Decide.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12What about this? No. Right.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16- Come on, then, Dad.- Hang on.
0:17:16 > 0:17:22- Is that just a modern one? - It's quirky.- We've only got a few minutes now, so shall we just...
0:17:24 > 0:17:27..move?
0:17:27 > 0:17:31- Hi there.- Still got to be 140. - 140.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33- Can you do any better on 140 or not?
0:17:33 > 0:17:37- No, absolutely not. Absolutely 140 is the death.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41- Not even 135? - No.
0:17:41 > 0:17:47- No, I think there's profit at that and I have to make a living. They're not dear.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51I would like to pay just slightly under the 140, sir.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- No, can't do it.- 135. - No, I can't do it, really.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Shall we take a chance on 140? What do you think?
0:17:57 > 0:17:59- Yes.- Yeah, think so?
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Yeah, I willing to go for it.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03- Yeah. Shall we go for them?- Yeah.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05- OK. - 140?
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- Much to David's disgust, but there you go.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12- I shall wrap them up.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14I want them gift-wrapped for that!
0:18:14 > 0:18:16- - You'll get them wrapped.- £5.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18- Yeah. - All right?
0:18:18 > 0:18:22Yeah, 140. Yeah, we'll take them.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24- No, I like them. - I'm happy with that.- Yeah.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27I hope they're going to make a profit,
0:18:27 > 0:18:31if not sell for what we paid for them.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Cheer up, David, at least it's not a painting!
0:18:34 > 0:18:38Krista and George have just 60 seconds left and have decided
0:18:38 > 0:18:42to go for the little Moorcroft vase they saw earlier,
0:18:42 > 0:18:45but no-one can remember where it is.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Where the hell was the Moorcroft?!
0:18:47 > 0:18:51- D...427, I think it was.- Was it?
0:18:53 > 0:18:54Dad, what about here?
0:18:54 > 0:18:59- Do you want a map?- Might be an idea if you've got a spare one.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01We've just got to buy something now.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05Is this your stall? Do you mind... Is this yours?
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- How much is this? - No, we can't do that, Kris.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10- Can't do that. - We've just got to buy something!
0:19:10 > 0:19:13We've got to find the Moorcroft.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Five...
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Are we left here?
0:19:17 > 0:19:19- No.- Or was it this row?
0:19:19 > 0:19:21I think it was the row up at the top, wasn't it?
0:19:21 > 0:19:24- Four...- We've got to run. Oh, no!
0:19:24 > 0:19:30- Three...- Down here.- It was down on the right, wasn't it? Quite far.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34- Two... - He's off like a whippet!
0:19:35 > 0:19:37One...
0:19:37 > 0:19:41Just in the nick of time, the Reds nab the Moorcroft vase,
0:19:41 > 0:19:47but with no time for negotiating, they pocket it for £25.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49- I quite like it. - Drinking out the cup!
0:19:49 > 0:19:51The cup of hope.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Time's up. Let's see how the Reds got on.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59The Reds were well-read with this red...
0:19:59 > 0:20:03sorry, brown reading table at £95.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06The Picquot Ware tea-set set them back £25.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08And they needed a map to find the Moorcroft bowl
0:20:08 > 0:20:11just in the nick of time.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Cor, talk about headless chickens and last-minute action!
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- Yeah. - That was ridiculous with you two.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20- It was hard going.- I think you peaked early, that's what it was.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24We peaked very late, actually, cos I think we broke the four-minute mile record.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28Well, anyway, well done, and you got your third item which is brilliant.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32- Absolutely.- And you managed to spend how much?- £145.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34- You spent £145.- Yeah.- Brilliant.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37And how have you got on with our canny man from north of the border?
0:20:37 > 0:20:40- Excellent.- Have you? Well,
0:20:40 > 0:20:45Paul has a reputation for assisting teams to make spectacular profits.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48At least, it's worked in the past, hasn't it, Paul?
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Pile it on, Tim, pile it on.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54- So I'd like £155, please. - Yeah, got that here.- There we go, £155. No need to count it.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56- You're an honest-looking girl. - Thank you.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59So 155, Paul. Is that going to be a challenge?
0:20:59 > 0:21:03I think not, given the scope we have here. Get my bargain radar out.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Yes, go and look up a few chums!
0:21:06 > 0:21:09No. Anyway, very good luck with that.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Why don't we check out exactly what the Blues are doing?
0:21:12 > 0:21:14They had a much more leisurely shop,
0:21:14 > 0:21:18starting with this dirty great vase at a measly £5.
0:21:18 > 0:21:23This stylish 1950s' coffee set set them back £35,
0:21:23 > 0:21:24and swayed by childhood memories,
0:21:24 > 0:21:28they paid a princely £140 for the Mouseman bookends.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Well, that was good, wasn't it?
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Everybody falling out spectacularly at the last fence.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37What is it with you? Is it all sentiment or what?
0:21:37 > 0:21:42I really like the product and my grandma describing them to me when I was younger... I like it.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44- I think we'll do well with that. - You do?
0:21:44 > 0:21:49If you ignore Barby's advice, I tell you, you do so at your peril!
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- Seriously, though, have you had a nice time?- Fantastic.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56- Never known an hour go so quick, though. - I know, it's ridiculous, isn't it?
0:21:56 > 0:21:59No, I'm confident, I'm happy. Now, you spent how much?
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- We spent £180?- Yes. - So you've got £120, yes?
0:22:02 > 0:22:05- £120.- £120 goes to David Barby.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07- Thank you.- No better man to spend it, I have to say.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09What have you got in mind, David?
0:22:09 > 0:22:13I have something in mind. I can't say too much cos it'll give it away.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15- Oh, will it?- Yes.- We don't want anything given away.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Particularly when you've got £120 to spend.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Anyway, off you trot, David, and good luck!
0:22:21 > 0:22:23I'm off somewhere spectacular.
0:22:23 > 0:22:28And I've slipped across to Disley in Cheshire
0:22:28 > 0:22:33to visit Lyme Park, home to the Legh family for over 550 years.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37Lyme started off life as a modest hunting lodge,
0:22:37 > 0:22:42but following a grant of land from the Crown in the 16th century,
0:22:42 > 0:22:46the Leghs expanded things a bit.
0:22:46 > 0:22:52Richard II granted an annuity to Margaret Legh after her grandfather courageously rescued
0:22:52 > 0:22:56the Prince of Wales, also known as the Black Prince, at the Battle of Crecy.
0:22:56 > 0:23:01Now, before we continue, it's shoes-off time.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05And in the entrance hall, there's a reminder of all that family history
0:23:05 > 0:23:08with the family's portrait of the Black Prince,
0:23:08 > 0:23:11who's looking particularly black.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14But what's drawn me to the entrance hall is that, in fact,
0:23:14 > 0:23:18there's a fest of textiles going on in this space,
0:23:18 > 0:23:23which includes the carpet and the tapestries on the walls.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Now, this carpet is really rather special.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28It was made around 1850
0:23:28 > 0:23:33and it was designed by Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36And what's special about it, apart from the brilliant colours,
0:23:36 > 0:23:41is that some of these designs - for example, that quatrefoil -
0:23:41 > 0:23:46you can see reflected in Pugin's glazed wall tiles.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50So, next time you go into a gentlemen's lavatory -
0:23:50 > 0:23:52that's assuming you're a gentleman -
0:23:52 > 0:23:56watch out for the tiles on the walls.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00But the tapestries have been at Lyme for yonks,
0:24:00 > 0:24:03since at least the 18th century,
0:24:03 > 0:24:06and what's brilliant about them is, apart from being early,
0:24:06 > 0:24:11because they were woven in the 1620s at Mortlake in Surrey,
0:24:11 > 0:24:14is that they tell a story.
0:24:14 > 0:24:21In this case, it's the classic story of the love affair between Leander and Hero.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24In this tapestry, we see them meeting,
0:24:24 > 0:24:28and you can tell that the love process is about to start,
0:24:28 > 0:24:33because winging through the sky at some altitude is a little Cupid,
0:24:33 > 0:24:37and he's firing off a few arrows at the young couple,
0:24:37 > 0:24:41who have formed an attachment as a result.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44They sadly have to part.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48He lives on one side of the Hellespont and she lives on the other.
0:24:48 > 0:24:53The Hellespont being the modern-day Bosphorus.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57So Leander decides he's going to have a swim across the Bosphorus
0:24:57 > 0:24:58and go and visit Hero.
0:24:58 > 0:25:05In this tapestry, we see him arriving after his long swim.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08On the foreshore is a servant,
0:25:08 > 0:25:11and she's beckoning to her mistress,
0:25:11 > 0:25:16who's inside the bathing shed saying, "Come and get it!"
0:25:16 > 0:25:21They enjoy an evening of bliss together and, just before dawn,
0:25:21 > 0:25:27Leander heads off, which we see in the third tapestry in this series,
0:25:27 > 0:25:29back home across the Bosphorus.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Sadly, he drowns en route
0:25:32 > 0:25:35because the light that was guiding him across the Bosphorus
0:25:35 > 0:25:39was turned out and the final tapestry in the series,
0:25:39 > 0:25:45the fourth one, now hangs at the Victoria and Albert Museum
0:25:45 > 0:25:49and it shows Hero lamenting the loss of Leander.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Charming, isn't it?
0:25:51 > 0:25:53The big question is today, of course,
0:25:53 > 0:25:57which of our teams over at the auction will be sinking or swimming?
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Well, we've come flitting over the Pennines
0:26:09 > 0:26:13to the flat plains of Cheshire to Frank Marshall & Co in Knutsford
0:26:13 > 0:26:15where we are with auctioneer Nick Hall.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19- Nick, good morning.- Welcome, Tim. - Very nice to see you.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23Good. Now, the Red team, Krista and George, their first item
0:26:23 > 0:26:27with Paul Laidlaw was this adjustable Victorian bed table.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31Not perhaps the most saleable bit of Victorian furniture, what?
0:26:31 > 0:26:35They used to make a lot of money, used to be very popular things but, of course,
0:26:35 > 0:26:39with a lot of this late-Victorian brown furniture, it's dwindled.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42One or two condition problems, I think, might hamper it slightly.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46- So what do you think it's worth, Nick?- Well, we've put £100-£150.
0:26:46 > 0:26:51Good. Well, our team will be delighted cos they only paid £95. That would be a result.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Now, what about this brushed aluminium Picquot Ware tea-set?
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Mmm, it's a difficult thing to sell.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00There's no great collectors, it's not a particularly well-known name
0:27:00 > 0:27:03in the collecting field of post-war modern decorative design.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06- How much, then?- We've put £20 on it.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08- 20 to what?- 20-40 to be kind.
0:27:08 > 0:27:13- Oh, that's nice. £25 they paid.- OK. - And what about the Moorcroft bowl?
0:27:13 > 0:27:17You can't go wrong with Moorcroft. It's not early in date.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19£40-£60 we've got against it.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23- That's very good. £25 they paid. - There should be a profit in that.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27Good. So a sure-fire profit perhaps on the Moorcroft,
0:27:27 > 0:27:30a little bit dodgy on the Picquot tea-set
0:27:30 > 0:27:34and maybe they'll wipe their face on the Victorian bed table
0:27:34 > 0:27:37which adds up to almost certainly needing their bonus buy,
0:27:37 > 0:27:39so let's go and have a look at it.
0:27:40 > 0:27:45- George, Krista, you spent £145.- Yes.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49You gave Paul £155. What did he spend it on?
0:27:49 > 0:27:50Right, moment of truth.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52We looked for some period glass...in vain.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56- Does that tickle your fancy? - That's quite nice.- Yeah.
0:27:56 > 0:28:03It's a kind of dull colour but what sold it to me entirely is the mould.
0:28:03 > 0:28:08What an absolutely delicious acanthus-cum-thistle-like design.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11I think that's the way to view it. Lovely piece of glass.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14- What do you think of that design, Krista?- I think it's nice,
0:28:14 > 0:28:18quite pretty and, although you don't like the colour, I think it's quite nice.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20- What do you think, Dad?- I like it.
0:28:20 > 0:28:25There's a couple of little dinks in it, but it depends how much you paid for it, Paul.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29- I paid £10 for that.- Mmm.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31And how much do you think it will make?
0:28:31 > 0:28:35Anywhere, it's going to make £30, maybe £40.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38- Really?- No fortunes to be made but not a bad margin.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40- Do you know the maker of it? - It's a difficult one.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43It could be French but it could just be north-east England.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47- It's not marked or anything, is it?- No, I have had a good look.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49Frustratingly, no clues.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53There's so much that's frankly numb. Not so in that case.
0:28:53 > 0:28:57For a £10 note, I don't think you can go too far wrong with that.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01I think we're all feeling numb, actually, Paul! Thank you very much.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04Now, don't decide now, decide after the sale of the first three items,
0:29:04 > 0:29:09but for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Paul's bowl.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11So, Nick, what do you make of this?
0:29:11 > 0:29:15Typically Art Deco, nicely moulded.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19Got the nice yellow tinting on it as well. Obviously it's copying Lalique.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22I suspect it's made by another big Paris glass-maker of the time,
0:29:22 > 0:29:27Sabino, Etling, one of that type. It's a nice piece of inexpensive Deco glass.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29Ought to make £20-£30. Should do, really.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31Paul Laidlaw will be delighted about that.
0:29:31 > 0:29:36- He paid a £10 note, which is what we call a bonus buy.- Excellent.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues,
0:29:39 > 0:29:43- and first up for them is that Scottish globular pink vase.- Mmm.
0:29:43 > 0:29:44What do you make of that?
0:29:44 > 0:29:48Very globular. It's trying desperately hard to be Monart but it's far too late.
0:29:48 > 0:29:53It's not got the typical ground pontil mark you expect with the earlier Scottish art glass.
0:29:53 > 0:29:58- This has got to be post-war. - I'm not liking the sound of this. What's your estimate?
0:29:58 > 0:30:00- We put £20-£40 on it.- Really?
0:30:00 > 0:30:02- Yeah.- Well, they paid a fiver.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05For £5 it wasn't a bad buy if the right buyer's in the room,
0:30:05 > 0:30:09but it just won't appeal to the Scottish art glass buyers.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12- Next up is the coffee set.- Yes. - Well, that's pure 60s, isn't it?
0:30:12 > 0:30:16Very much so. Yeah, Portmeirion, Susan Ellis.
0:30:16 > 0:30:21It's not one of the desirable patterns but it's an OK name.
0:30:21 > 0:30:25Not too bad. There will be collectors looking at it at £30-£50.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28I suspect the lower end will probably be more in tune with it.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30That would be brilliant cos £35 is all they paid.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32What about the oak bookends?
0:30:32 > 0:30:35Yeah, Robert Thompson, the Mouseman, always collectible.
0:30:35 > 0:30:36There's always buyers for it.
0:30:36 > 0:30:42Date-wise, it's not an early piece of Mouseman, but they are very nice, commercial-friendly pieces.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45How friendly is your estimate?
0:30:45 > 0:30:47We've gone for a mouse-friendly £60-£100.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51- Oh. £140 they paid.- That's at a retail price, isn't it?- Yes, I know.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55If two collectors get stuck into it... They've just bought a nice set of books
0:30:55 > 0:30:59and they want some Mouseman bookends, then they might pay that and a bit more for it but...
0:30:59 > 0:31:03- Strictly speaking, your real estimate is £60-£100 and that's fine.- Yeah.
0:31:03 > 0:31:08Very good. Overall, I fancy they'll need their bonus buy so let's go and have a look at it.
0:31:08 > 0:31:13So, Lee and James, you spent £180, you gave David Barby £120 to buy
0:31:13 > 0:31:16your bonus buy, and he's got it there set out on the table.
0:31:16 > 0:31:21- Well, it's not a cake, Tim. - It's not a cake.- Ah!
0:31:21 > 0:31:24- I remember this. - Oh, do you, really?- Yes.
0:31:24 > 0:31:29Ah, well, this is from a Dutch barge and this is from the wheelhouse
0:31:29 > 0:31:31to the engine room below, and you can...
0:31:34 > 0:31:35BELL RINGS
0:31:35 > 0:31:38Stop, move, halt, goodness knows what?
0:31:38 > 0:31:42This is so decorative, and if you have a minimalistic kitchen
0:31:42 > 0:31:45or a hallway and you want something startling
0:31:45 > 0:31:48to get people's attention, this is it.
0:31:48 > 0:31:54It's a handsome little piece. It cost £80 but I think it was very, very reasonable.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57- And our chances today? - If there's enough people here
0:31:57 > 0:32:00that are interested in this type of decorative object,
0:32:00 > 0:32:03- I think you could probably go over the £100 mark.- Fantastic.
0:32:03 > 0:32:07I love it. I remember it caught my eye when we were walking round.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10It just looks very classic, it looks...
0:32:10 > 0:32:12- It does look classic, doesn't it? - It stands out.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16It could be a talking piece, couldn't it, if you had it on display?
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Would you pay £80 for that, to have a talking piece?
0:32:19 > 0:32:23Maybe it's not my talking piece that I'd have, but we're hoping someone here...
0:32:23 > 0:32:26- Yeah, but it's just a fun piece. - Definitely.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28And very unusual. Well done, David.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30- Thank you. - You're testing the auction house.
0:32:30 > 0:32:36But for the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about David's ship's telegraph.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39What do you make of this Dutch telegraph gadget?
0:32:39 > 0:32:42I suspect he might well be sinking without a trace.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44It's an obscure thing.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46Will there be buyers for it? I've got my doubts.
0:32:46 > 0:32:51There are serious marine collectors knocking about, but who wants this in Dutch?
0:32:51 > 0:32:54Well, I'm hoping that someone from overseas might pick up on it.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57- Like a Dutchman?- Ideally. - That would be great, wouldn't it?
0:32:57 > 0:33:01- It would help, I think we'll struggle otherwise.- What's your estimate?
0:33:01 > 0:33:03- £30-£50.- Barby paid 80. - Pounds or euros?
0:33:03 > 0:33:06- Doesn't make much difference these days!- Not a lot.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Thank you very much. Are you taking the auction?
0:33:08 > 0:33:10- I am indeed. - Ah, we're in safe hands.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18Now, you two, how are you feeling?
0:33:19 > 0:33:22- Hopeful.- Hopeful. - Nervous.- Why are you nervous?
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Excited, borderline nervous.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27We're putting all our trust in Paul.
0:33:27 > 0:33:32- Does that mean you'll be blaming him when it all goes wrong?- Probably!
0:33:32 > 0:33:37Well, first up is going to be the Victorian adjustable bed table, right?
0:33:37 > 0:33:38Yes, the reading table.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40- Bed table.- Bed table. OK, Tim.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44Call it reading table if you like, but they were made as bed tables.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47OK. Here it comes.
0:33:47 > 0:33:51Lot 130A, the Victorian mahogany adjustable reading table.
0:33:51 > 0:33:5460? £60 if you will, please.
0:33:54 > 0:33:58- 50? 40? We're going the wrong way! - It's all right, get it started.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00Someone somewhere at £40? Can you not hear me?
0:34:00 > 0:34:03A Victorian mahogany adjustable reading table
0:34:03 > 0:34:06with a Landers maker's stamp. Are you bidding, madam?
0:34:06 > 0:34:10- £20. That hurts me, madam, but I'll take it.- I think we're doomed!
0:34:10 > 0:34:1225 online. Are you still in, madam?
0:34:12 > 0:34:14Worth a lot more and you know it.
0:34:14 > 0:34:1630, new bidder stepping in.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18Are you bidding online?
0:34:18 > 0:34:20It's £30 in the room. Bidding online?
0:34:20 > 0:34:22Not even a flicker.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26At £30 in the room. I think we're there, we're done at £30.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28All we'll get today... 35, there's a late bid coming in.
0:34:28 > 0:34:3140 I have. Back in the room again at £40...
0:34:31 > 0:34:33He's good though. He's keeping them going.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36At 45, I think we're there. I think we've exhausted it.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39At £45... 50, online bid.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41Two of them want in it.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43It's not dear at 50.
0:34:43 > 0:34:4750 I'm selling, last chance. Make no mistake, at £50...
0:34:47 > 0:34:52Ah, he's sold it for 50. Well, there we go, it got better and better.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Only minus £45.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56- I don't feel so bad about that, do you?- We'll get it back.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58That's the attitude George!
0:34:58 > 0:35:03Lot 131A is a four-piece Picquot Ware chrome tea service.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06What are we going to say? £20 for it? 20 I'm offered.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09- Good at 20.- Get it started.
0:35:09 > 0:35:1120 in at the start. 5 anywhere do I hear?
0:35:11 > 0:35:14Anyone else coming in? 25? New bidder by the doorway.
0:35:14 > 0:35:1930, 5, 40, 5. At £45, straight at the back in the doorway. I'm selling.
0:35:19 > 0:35:23All done, last chance at £45...
0:35:23 > 0:35:27£45, that's OK. £45 is plus £20
0:35:27 > 0:35:30which means you're only minus £25. We're clawing it back here.
0:35:30 > 0:35:34Lot 132A is the little piece of Moorcroft this time.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37This small pansy-pattern pin bowl.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39£40, no money. Thank you, madam.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42- Straight in at 40.- It is Moorcroft. 5, anyone? Bidding online.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44There's a flicker. 45.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46Internet bid at 45.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49- Coming in at 50...- Yes!
0:35:49 > 0:35:54Bid's in the room at £50, and 5, sir? Thank you. 55 with you.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57- Fantastic!- And it's 60 against you with the lady.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00At 60 I'm selling if you're all finished...
0:36:00 > 0:36:03£60. Well, that's very good, isn't it?
0:36:03 > 0:36:05- Not bad at all.- £65. That's plus £35
0:36:05 > 0:36:09which wipes out your minus £25, which means you're plus £10.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Ooh!
0:36:11 > 0:36:15We are in such a jammy profit arrangement.
0:36:15 > 0:36:20I mean, that started off so badly, didn't it, with that ruddy table.
0:36:20 > 0:36:25- Now, listen. Thanks to Krista, you have £10 in cash...- Well done.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28..which could be a winning score.
0:36:28 > 0:36:33You don't have to risk that £10 on the glass bowl, but it's up to you.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37- What do you think?- It cost a tenner! Of course it'll make money!
0:36:37 > 0:36:40- I want to stick.- You want to stick? - Because we're going to...
0:36:40 > 0:36:44- You're going to what, Dad?- I think we'll stick.- What do you mean? Are you not going for the bowl?
0:36:44 > 0:36:47- OK, we'll go, then. - Go with the bowl. Go with the bowl.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49What are you going to do, George?
0:36:49 > 0:36:50- Go for it.- Going for the bonus buy.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53Very good. Here comes the glass bowl and here we go.
0:36:53 > 0:36:59Lot 136A, a bit of Art Deco glassware this time. The amber-coloured bowl.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02Where are we going to go? £20? £20 if you like for it.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05Nice bit of Art Deco glassware. Good colouring, nice moulding.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08£20 only. 18? 15?
0:37:08 > 0:37:10Not going to make me beg, are you? 15?
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Start me at 10, get it away.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15- Nice bit of Art Deco glass... - You're kidding me!
0:37:15 > 0:37:18It's not looking good.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Thank you, 10 I'm offered. Any further bid on £10?
0:37:20 > 0:37:23Are we all done at £10? Are you sure? Last chance.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26- At 10 I'm selling. It's going...- £10.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29- Thank God!- £10, wiped its face.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31Right, no profit, no loss, no shame.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33I can't believe how cheap that was, but there we are.
0:37:33 > 0:37:37We're out of trouble. We're back in a plus-10 situation
0:37:37 > 0:37:40which seriously, you guys, could be a winning score.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42Thank you very much. Excellent.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45Well, father and daughter just about made it through the auction
0:37:45 > 0:37:48in one piece and clung on to their profit.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Let's hope the Blues can survive as well.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55- OK, boys. Now, do you know how the Reds got on?- No idea.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58- No idea.- You don't want to know either, I tell you.
0:37:58 > 0:38:02- Now, first up is going to be your Scottish globular pink vase.- Yes.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05Found by David, £5 paid for that.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08- Bargain.- Here it comes. - Lot 155A...
0:38:08 > 0:38:11It's lovely. Clean, bright, fantastic.
0:38:11 > 0:38:16A 20th-centry coloured glass vase, a bit of Scottish art glass.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18- This'll do well, this'll do well. - £20 for it?
0:38:18 > 0:38:19£20? Anywhere at £20? 18?
0:38:19 > 0:38:2215? 10 will start me.
0:38:22 > 0:38:26- Oh, come on.- £10 to start me.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28- Somewhere, £10?- No?
0:38:28 > 0:38:29Surely a tenner's worth.
0:38:29 > 0:38:325 I'm bid. Thank you.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35- Come on, bid!- Any advance on £5?
0:38:35 > 0:38:37Are you all done for a fiver?
0:38:37 > 0:38:38- No!- At 5 I'm selling.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41- Oh, no!- All finished? At £5 it's going.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44- £5 sold.- That's ridiculous.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46Well, no shame, no gain.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49- Wiped its face for £5.- Lot 156A is the Portmeirion coffee service.
0:38:49 > 0:38:53This is by Susan Williams Ellis, a complete service.
0:38:53 > 0:38:57- Where are we going to go? £30? - Yes, come on.- 25? £20?
0:38:57 > 0:39:00Thank you, madam. 20 I'm bid. Lady seated at 20. And 5, anyone?
0:39:00 > 0:39:04With you at 20. Anyone else? Are you all done? 5 online.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07- One more go.- Come on!- One more go.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10At 25 against you. At 25, selling...
0:39:10 > 0:39:13£25, maiden bid on the internet.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16That is minus £10. That's not right.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19- OK, now, the bookends.- Come on!
0:39:19 > 0:39:22Keep everything crossed for these.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25Lot 157A, nice little collector's lot.
0:39:25 > 0:39:29This is the Robert Thompson Mouseman solid oak bookends.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32We've got commission bids. Not dear but I've got commission bids.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35Start me at 35 for the bookends. Any advance on 35?
0:39:35 > 0:39:3740 I'm bid. 45.
0:39:37 > 0:39:3850 seated. The book's out at 50.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40Bidding to do? It's £50, gent seated.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42And 5, new bidder.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45Still in, sir? 55 against you.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48- Madam? 60 on the end. - Come on, keep going!
0:39:48 > 0:39:55At 70, 5, 80, 5, 90, 5... 95, gent seated bang in the centre.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58£95. New bidder at 100. Fresh bid at £100.
0:39:58 > 0:40:02110, £120. At 120 I'm bid.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05All done at £120? All sure?
0:40:05 > 0:40:08Oh, blast it! £120.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11Well, it got on with it, James. You must be pleased about that.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14- It's a loss of £20. - Against all expectations!
0:40:14 > 0:40:18- And there's nothing to be proud about any losses, of course, but it did well.- Yeah.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21A lot more than the auctioneer's estimate which is great.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23So, anyway, you're minus £30.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27What are we going to do about the barge mechanical connector?
0:40:27 > 0:40:29- Leave it.- You're going to leave it or go with it?
0:40:29 > 0:40:32- We're going to leave it. - Definitely going to leave it?
0:40:32 > 0:40:35- Are you sure about that? - I've seen how it's going today.
0:40:35 > 0:40:40It could be, here in Knutsford, Dutch marine engineering objects are incredibly popular!
0:40:40 > 0:40:43- I don't think it's going to sell. - No, no.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45- You don't think it's going to sell. - No.
0:40:45 > 0:40:46You're definitely not going with it.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49We're going to sell it anyway. Here it comes.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52- Doesn't it look lovely? - Lot 161A, an unusual lot.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56This is the early £20-century Dutch ship's telegraph.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58Where are we going to go? £30 for it?
0:40:58 > 0:41:01£20? 15? 10 will start. £10 for it. Thank you, sir.
0:41:01 > 0:41:0510 I'm bid, and 12 against you. 12 I've taken. 15 with you? 15 offered.
0:41:05 > 0:41:09Still in, sir, at 18? Thank you, 18 bid. Any advance on £18. 20.
0:41:09 > 0:41:13It's not going to get to 80. There's no way it's going to get to 80.
0:41:13 > 0:41:1720 against you. 22 I'm bid. And 5? Thank you. 25 on the phone.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20He's got Rotterdam on the phone.
0:41:20 > 0:41:24All done at £25? At 25, selling...
0:41:24 > 0:41:27- £25.- That was a good move.
0:41:27 > 0:41:31That is a narrow squeak at minus £55. That's all right.
0:41:31 > 0:41:36So, as it is, you have ring-fenced your losses at minus £30.
0:41:36 > 0:41:42- Minus £30 could be a winning score, all right, so don't say a thing to the Reds.- OK.- Bravo.
0:41:51 > 0:41:55- So have you guys been chatting at all? Communicating?- No.
0:41:55 > 0:41:56Kept everything very quiet?
0:41:56 > 0:42:01- So you genuinely have no idea who is the winner and who is the runner-up today?- No.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03No? We don't have losers any more.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05Not on Bargain Hunt we don't, anyway.
0:42:05 > 0:42:10So I have something to reveal here, and it is of serious import.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Both teams had a couple of wiped faces,
0:42:13 > 0:42:17- but sadly, the runners-up today are the Blues.- Ohh!
0:42:17 > 0:42:21Minus £30 overall. Are you upset about that?
0:42:21 > 0:42:24- We've had a good day and we've enjoyed it.- You had a bit of fun?
0:42:24 > 0:42:27- We have indeed. - That's the main thing, isn't it?
0:42:27 > 0:42:31You've been great contestants. Great expert, great contestants - what more could you ask for?
0:42:31 > 0:42:33But the victors today,
0:42:33 > 0:42:37going home with a £10 note...!
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Not a vast fortune but at least you can count it.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43- Are you pleased about that, Krista? - Very pleased.- How about you, George?
0:42:43 > 0:42:47- That's OK, yes.- That's typical, you checking it, isn't it?
0:42:47 > 0:42:52No, seriously, jolly good. The victors today on Bargain Hunt, and congratulations.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55- And join us soon for some more bargain-hunting, yes?- Yes!
