0:00:03 > 0:00:06TIM WHISTLES BARGAIN HUNT THEME TUNE
0:00:10 > 0:00:12HE WOLF-WHISTLES
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:00:43 > 0:00:47Wow! Universities didn't look like this in my day.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50But we're here for the Jaguar Antiques Fair,
0:00:50 > 0:00:53which is being held in the heart of Derby University.
0:00:53 > 0:00:59Our teams are going to be tested to the extreme in today's programme.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01I'll tell you one thing - it ain't going to be pretty!
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Coming up later - do the Reds have ideas above their station?
0:01:07 > 0:01:11- What's that colourful glass called? - Whitefriars and it's too expensive.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15And the Blues get very confused.
0:01:15 > 0:01:22- 207 plus... Did he say 47 or 57? - 57, wasn't it?- 57.- 57.- 207 + 57... what's my mathematics?
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- No, no...- It's 263.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28Meanwhile, when we get to the auction, there's only one way to break the news.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30- That's a wallop, that is.- Oh!
0:01:31 > 0:01:35That's all coming up shortly but now let's have a reminder of the rules.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Two teams, £300 each.
0:01:39 > 0:01:44Each team has to buy three items to take to auction in just one hour.
0:01:45 > 0:01:51And the team that makes the most profit or the least losses wins.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55Yep, the rules are well-known, but the teams are not.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Let's go and get to know them.
0:01:58 > 0:01:59And here they are!
0:01:59 > 0:02:03We've got friends Angela and Dave,
0:02:03 > 0:02:06and an engaged couple Terry and Mavis. Welcome to Bargain Hunt.
0:02:06 > 0:02:13- Superb! Now, Angela, how did you and Dave meet?- We met about six, seven years ago.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17We worked together at an aggregates company in Leicester
0:02:17 > 0:02:23and we had a night out at a comedy club and cemented our friendship over a few beers, so to speak.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27- And you are a self-confessed party girl, aren't you?- I am, yes.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Definitely. I intend to be partying until I'm at least 80.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- You also go ghost-hunting, don't you?- I do, with Dave, yes. - Do you ever find any?
0:02:34 > 0:02:40Not actually seen a full apparition, but we've had so many personal experiences happen to ourselves
0:02:40 > 0:02:44- that there must be something out there.- Really?- Mm-hm.
0:02:44 > 0:02:49- Dave, what do you do as a job of work?- I work at Loughborough College as a client account manager.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53- You also manage a football team, don't you?- Kind of. - What do you mean, "Kind of"?
0:02:53 > 0:02:57Last year. Under-8s, I was the manager at the back end of the season.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01- We finished bottom of the league, so...- Oh.- I'm now deputy manager of the 2nd team,
0:03:01 > 0:03:04assistant manager of the 2nd team.
0:03:04 > 0:03:10- You're going to do rather better on Bargain Hunt than you do managing a football team.- Definitely.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14- Angela and I are particularly good-looking, witty... - Oh, yes, quite.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17We'll spend all the money, probably make the biggest profit
0:03:17 > 0:03:21- you've ever seen.- These are brave, brave words, aren't they?
0:03:21 > 0:03:26Perhaps they're reflected in your football management skills. I don't know. We will find out.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31- Let's not be prejudiced. Now, you two - two entertainers, right?- Yes.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35- How did you two meet?- I was doing a charity show about five years, Tim.
0:03:35 > 0:03:41- We were singing, comedy and a bit of magic...- Yes.- ..and I looked across the floor,
0:03:41 > 0:03:45and it was like a vision and there was Mavis, face-painting in the distance.
0:03:45 > 0:03:50After I'd finished I walked over to her, I had a chat to her, got on well,
0:03:50 > 0:03:53I asked her out for a drink and the rest is history.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57- And now you're engaged. - Yes, we are - about a year.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01About a year you've been engaged, well, that's good. When's the happy day?
0:04:01 > 0:04:08- Well, I decided to make it April 17th, 2046.- 2046.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13- I shall be just 100.- Oh, right, and that's the age to marry, you reckon?
0:04:13 > 0:04:18Yes. We've been there before, both of us, and we think that's about right, give ourselves a bit of time.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- So how did you get into the face-painting business?- Oh, dear.
0:04:21 > 0:04:26I've got a friend who was in a turmoil, she'd got one face-painter not turn up on Saturday
0:04:26 > 0:04:33for a supermarket, so she sent me in and I thought, "Well, it's either no hope of Bob Hope."
0:04:33 > 0:04:39- I'd never done it before and that was it.- You were obviously successful and you stuck by it.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44- I did.- I think you'll enjoy it on Bargain Hunt today. - I think I will.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Now, the money moment. Here we give them £300. Here comes the £300.
0:04:47 > 0:04:52There we go. There's £300. You know the rules, your experts await and off you go!
0:04:52 > 0:04:54And very, very, very good luck!
0:04:54 > 0:05:00Do you think I should have my face painted? Oh, yes.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Like our teams, our experts might be on friendly terms NOW,
0:05:06 > 0:05:08but will that stay the same
0:05:08 > 0:05:12as Thomas Plant makes his way round the fair with the Reds,
0:05:12 > 0:05:15and goes head-to-head with Jonathon Pratt, who's helping the Blues?
0:05:16 > 0:05:21Now I always think there's nothing like a plan to get you underway.
0:05:21 > 0:05:28- Are we ready?- We're ready. Let's go. - We've got one hour. Have we got any strategy?- No.- No?- No.
0:05:28 > 0:05:33- So what are we going to do?- We'll have a look.- Off we go, then.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Ah, well, maybe not, but this sounds better.
0:05:37 > 0:05:42- What is it you're interested in buying?- We like silver, don't we? - Yeah, we like silver.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44I like Beswick...
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Novelty's what we're looking for as well, so if we find things we like
0:05:48 > 0:05:52- that says something...- Yeah.- ..we might make some money out of it.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53Let's look and see how we get on.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03- What's that colourful called? - Whitefriars and it's too expensive. Come on.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07- What about the rings, Mavis? Do you like the rings?- Oh, I love rings.
0:06:11 > 0:06:16- That's nice. It's Carlton ware. - Carlton...- Carlton ware, yeah.
0:06:16 > 0:06:22Despite their lack of a plan, it looks like the Reds have spotted something that's taken their fancy.
0:06:22 > 0:06:28- Super quality, isn't it? This sort of stone ware...- It's really intricate.
0:06:28 > 0:06:34- You like that, do you?- Yeah. - Charles Meigh's jugs used to sell extremely well
0:06:34 > 0:06:39and we are quite close to the potteries, so you've got a good chance.
0:06:39 > 0:06:44The price is a little bit strong, um, but it is mid-19th century.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47You've got this registration mark here. Can you see that?
0:06:47 > 0:06:51- Mm-hm.- Yeah, the registration mark and you've got the date letter
0:06:51 > 0:06:58for whichever one it means. I think the R might mean that it's, er... On the label it says 1852.
0:06:58 > 0:07:04- Is there anything more you can do? - I've been known to take two and sixpence off this at times.
0:07:04 > 0:07:09- £115.- £115? Would you make it a nice round £100?
0:07:10 > 0:07:14- Yes, for you, I'll take £100. - Really?- Oh, really?- What would you see it making?
0:07:14 > 0:07:22Well, if you get it for £100, you've probably got a good £20 profit there.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26I really like it. It just feels so tactile, doesn't it? It's nice.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30Do you want to buy it now or put it down and think about it?
0:07:30 > 0:07:35- You know, we've been shopping for, like, five minutes.- Bit of an impulse man, to be honest.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39- You're an impulse man? Getting a good feeling.- Go for it. - Really?- What do you think?
0:07:39 > 0:07:46- We are early on, but I like it. I like it.- Thank you very much, they'll take it for £100.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Dave just can't help acting on impulse and the Reds have their first purchase in the bag.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- And then you've got... - A very usual piece of erotica.
0:08:02 > 0:08:07- Oh, go on, show us the erotica. - I'll show you.- OK.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- Edwardian. Is it Meerschaum? - Meerschaum.- Yeah.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15- I've got £250 on her.- Oh, right.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Oh, she's not the innocent lady I thought she was.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- More than the bog standard Meerschaum that you see.- Yeah.
0:08:21 > 0:08:26Do you want to see her? It's a pipe and I was wondering where the bit was that you put in your mouth.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Not very PC these days, is it?
0:08:29 > 0:08:34Fantastic. That would be great to have, but it's too much money.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- It's a lot of money for us.- I could do you a very good price.
0:08:37 > 0:08:44I had £250 on that. I could let it go for £150 and I know that will sell for a lot more than that.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47It is such a difficult thing because, look, I've not seen one before,
0:08:47 > 0:08:51- and that's a great start, Meerschaum is collectible.- It's in good order.
0:08:51 > 0:08:58- It's a fairly brittle material. As a punt, it's interesting. Tim will love it.- It's different.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03- It's blowing £150 straightaway. - Is that the best price, £150?
0:09:03 > 0:09:10It has to be. I can tell you now, Tim will love it because he loves dainty things with a cheeky side.
0:09:10 > 0:09:15- Why not? Let's go £150.- I do like it. - Thank you very much indeed. - Let's go for it.
0:09:15 > 0:09:16OK, sir, thank you very much.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20- Thank you very much. - Thanks very much!
0:09:20 > 0:09:26Whether I like it or not is just not important, Jonathon. It's whether it makes a profit at auction.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37So both teams have made their first purchase with 45 minutes still to go,
0:09:37 > 0:09:40and talking of time, take a look at what I've found.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Some days is good days, some days is bad days
0:09:43 > 0:09:46and some days are just interesting days
0:09:46 > 0:09:49and, boy, have I got something interesting to show you here!
0:09:49 > 0:09:51If we look at this little watch,
0:09:51 > 0:09:58on the face of it, it looks like a pretty boring and standard ladies' gold wristwatch.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01But if I put it down there
0:10:01 > 0:10:04and I put my watch next door to it,
0:10:04 > 0:10:06what's the difference between my watch,
0:10:06 > 0:10:12apart from it being a gent's and it being bigger than the fellow next door?
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Can you spot the difference?
0:10:14 > 0:10:16You can? Well, you're very clever.
0:10:16 > 0:10:22Cos not a lot of people would notice that my watch has got a winder on one side,
0:10:22 > 0:10:25and this watch has no winder.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Clever, isn't it?
0:10:29 > 0:10:32You can see it's inscribed, Harwood, on the dial,
0:10:32 > 0:10:37but how would you change the hour hand if you haven't got a winder
0:10:37 > 0:10:38going through from the outside.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Harwood cracked this problem
0:10:41 > 0:10:45by having a revolving bezel and if I turn that slightly,
0:10:45 > 0:10:51you can see the outer edge moves and when it gets to a certain point,
0:10:51 > 0:10:54it starts to move the minute hand,
0:10:54 > 0:10:58effectively enabling you to change the time.
0:10:58 > 0:11:06Now if those was one of those standard ladies' watches dating from 1930 in a nine-carat gold case,
0:11:06 > 0:11:10it would be worth around £180-£220, something like that,
0:11:10 > 0:11:16but this one, because it's of this rare variety with the unusual movement,
0:11:16 > 0:11:19would bring much, much more.
0:11:19 > 0:11:27I suppose I'd estimate around £2,000-£3,000. Tick-tick-tock, eh?
0:11:34 > 0:11:41The Blues have £150 left to spend and it looks like something shiny has caught their eye.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45- Can you come down a little bit? - No.- No?- He's a hard man.
0:11:45 > 0:11:51- You are a hard man. Not even a fiver?- No.- 50p?- No.- 10p?- No.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54He knows you won't be robbed at £45 for those.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57What I think we should do with those is we put them back in the case...
0:11:57 > 0:12:01- Have a shop around.- ..and we'll have a shop around and if it's still here...
0:12:01 > 0:12:06- Thomas won't look at that. He's too busy looking at pots. Thanks very much.- My pleasure.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08- Have a good day.- Cheers.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13Actually, Thomas ISN'T looking at pots.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17He's spotted a silver card case and there's nothing potty about that.
0:12:17 > 0:12:22What one would do is that you'd call at your friend's house
0:12:22 > 0:12:26and you'd take out your card and you'd give it to the butler
0:12:26 > 0:12:31and that would be presented on a card tray, then presented to the person.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35If they wanted to see you, they'd either say yes or no. It's a calling card case.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40- So how old would that be this is probably...- 1880.- ..1880s...- Really? - ..1900.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42This is mother-of-pearl with carved design
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- and this abalone design around here. - I like that.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50- It's caught the light with the different colours.- Nice quality. - You've got £45 on that...
0:12:50 > 0:12:52£40's the best, sir.
0:12:52 > 0:12:59- £40. What do you think? You both it. - We do, yeah. Can you come down another five for us, 35?
0:12:59 > 0:13:03I can't, I'm afraid on that. I've priced it quite reasonably.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08- That's not a bad deal.- I think I would pay around that for it if I wanted it.- Yeah.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12Look, at 40 quid, it's worth buying in my honest opinion.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16- Like that, Ange?- I like that. - Go for it.- Our second one.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20- I think so.- Thank you, sir. OK. Lovely.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26And it looks like Jonathan and the Blues have also been dazzled by silver
0:13:26 > 0:13:28with this pair of trumpet vases.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Birmingham... A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H. 1908.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- It's on the card.- "1907-1908."
0:13:35 > 0:13:40- Now you've always got lead-filled bases for stability.- What would these be used for?
0:13:40 > 0:13:46Just put a specimen flower in there on the mantel, either side of the flat-screen television,
0:13:46 > 0:13:49- you know, with a flower coming out. - It's nice having the pair as well.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53It's a straightforward trumpet shape, but there's an essence of the period.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55- It's Edwardian.- Nice look about them.
0:13:55 > 0:14:00Cos they're weighted, if you drop them, it'll hit the ground and fold in half.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03The fact is that they've been looked after. There you go, take one each.
0:14:03 > 0:14:08- Thank you.- We've got one on the side and we've bought one item.
0:14:08 > 0:14:13We've got a possible with the little salt spoons, which are part silver.
0:14:13 > 0:14:18You're not saying, "Wow, I really love them." The thing about silver is you've got to clean them.
0:14:18 > 0:14:23That's what puts people off a little. What would be your best price for it?
0:14:23 > 0:14:25- I could go to £65.- £65.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- What do you think, Mavis? Do you think they're good?- I like them.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33- I'd like them better still if they were a little bit cheaper.- Yes.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- How much cheaper?- Well, £50-£55.
0:14:36 > 0:14:41£50's too low. I'd do £60. I'd bring it down to £60 for you.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45- Meet halfway, £55.- £55's low. £58.
0:14:45 > 0:14:51- £57.- Now you're haggling...- I'm not going to say £57.50, so I'll do £57.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54- Thank you very much.- Cheers. - Thank you.
0:14:54 > 0:14:59DOLLY PARTON: # My life is likened to a bargain store
0:15:00 > 0:15:04# I may have just what you're looking for
0:15:04 > 0:15:10# If you don't mind the fact that all the merchandise is used
0:15:10 > 0:15:15# But with a little mending it could be as good as new. #
0:15:15 > 0:15:18In this centre of educational excellence,
0:15:18 > 0:15:22it appears that maths might not be your strongest subject, Blues.
0:15:22 > 0:15:27- You've got 39 minutes gone.- Right. - Bought two items.- Bought two items.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31- Got one on the reserve, as it were. - Yeah.- So, um,
0:15:31 > 0:15:33we can always go back and get those two spoons.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37- And that leaves me with...- Yeah. - ..about a fiver, doesn't it?- Yes.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41- 207 plus 40. Did he say 47 or 57? - 57, wasn't it?- 57.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45- 207 and 57. What's my mathematics? - No, no, it's...- 263.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50- No, we didn't spend that. 150... - 150...
0:15:50 > 0:15:53207. And what were those spoons?
0:15:55 > 0:15:58- Er, the spoons were 40...?- ..5.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Would he go 45?
0:16:00 > 0:16:03- Do you think he went as low as that? - I don't know.- They were 45.
0:16:03 > 0:16:09- They were 45? That's 207 plus 45. That's 200 and...- ..52. 252.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- That'd leave me 48 quid which is... - Far too much.- Ample.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16- Far too much. Come on, let's shop. - We've not got a last rush in us.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20Back to the Reds now. And in the immortal words of Sir Tom Jones:
0:16:20 > 0:16:21SHATTERING GLASS
0:16:21 > 0:16:24TOM JONES: # What's new pussycat
0:16:24 > 0:16:26# Woa-o-o-o-o-oh... #
0:16:26 > 0:16:31- I've got a black cat. It's like my Jasper.- Yeah. You've got a real black cat?- I've got a real black cat.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34By Branham in Barnstaple.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Cats are very popular because people like you love pussycats.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Can I have a look?
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Look at that! Isn't he handsome?
0:16:42 > 0:16:45On here you've got the CH Branham
0:16:45 > 0:16:50which is the factory. That's the stamp - Branham ware. And, um,
0:16:50 > 0:16:53"Made in England" is on there but it's a bit smudged.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57That gives you a sort of date to sort of the 20th century.
0:16:57 > 0:17:02Branham ware is made in Barnstaple and it's terracotta, which this is.
0:17:02 > 0:17:07- Mm-hm.- Pottery. It started in the late 19th century.
0:17:07 > 0:17:08He's rather handsome.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11It's your pussycat, isn't it?
0:17:11 > 0:17:12He's quite good-looking.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15I don't mind him. What's your very best?
0:17:15 > 0:17:18- 100.- 100.- 100's my very best.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19He's early 20th century.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22I think you've got a very good opportunity
0:17:22 > 0:17:25of selling that and making a profit and also...
0:17:25 > 0:17:26- He needs a clean.- >
0:17:26 > 0:17:29He needs a clean? He does now I've been playing with him.
0:17:29 > 0:17:34- And also because it's CH Branham, it gives it that extra dimension. - Mm-hm.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- What do you think?- I'm happy.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38- Would somebody pay 100? - Would you do 90?
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Go on.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Really, really tight.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Thank you.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- Do you want some money? Some readies? - Yes, please.
0:17:49 > 0:17:54- I've got you here £100. So if I can get £10 change, that would be lovely. Thank you.- Yay!
0:17:54 > 0:17:55Thank you!
0:17:58 > 0:18:02With two definite purchases and a third reserved, with two minutes to go,
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Jonathan spots a cheesy item for the Blues.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08I don't think it's going to fool anyone but it's a nice-looking thing
0:18:08 > 0:18:10and it would look quite smart. So you'd do it for 38?
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- Yes.- OK. Brilliant.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17- See the little cheese dish and cover?- Yes.- Big dome, little rustic handles.- That looks nice.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20It's £48. It's a modern reproduction of... But if it were period,
0:18:20 > 0:18:26in the heyday when the Americans were buying these things, it would have been £1,000 or more for a period one.
0:18:26 > 0:18:31It's a reproduction and he wants £38. He said he can do a tenner off.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33- That doesn't seem like a lot of money to me.- No.- No.
0:18:33 > 0:18:38Let's go and have a look at it. No chips or cracks that I can see.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40I quite like it. It looks in good condition.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44There's no great age to it. The way this is painted over the foot rim
0:18:44 > 0:18:51like that, they're trying to hide how modern it really is. But, you know,
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- time is ticking away, as they say. - Yeah.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58- What's the best price on this? - Er, £38.- £38.
0:18:58 > 0:19:03- Shall we go for that, then, Mavis? - Yeah, I think we will.- Would you put your cheese in it, Mavis?- Yes.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Is this cheesy enough for you?
0:19:05 > 0:19:07- LAUGHTER - Oh, definitely.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11- It could do him as a hat. - Can we have it for £38?
0:19:11 > 0:19:17- Fantastic. Job done. Three items. - Sounds good to me. Mavis?- All done. Three minutes spare. Perfect.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23That's it! Time's up!
0:19:23 > 0:19:26That's it for the teams, isn't it?
0:19:26 > 0:19:31Well, perhaps not, actually, because we've got the leftover lolly to hand out to the experts
0:19:31 > 0:19:36who are going to go and find that Bonus Buy that will be revealed later at auction,
0:19:36 > 0:19:41that can make all the difference between winning and losing.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Heh-heh! First, let's just check out
0:19:44 > 0:19:48what the Red team has already bought.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52First the Reds poured £100 into buying the stoneware jug.
0:19:52 > 0:19:53Oh, dear!
0:19:53 > 0:19:57And, then, there was the silver calling-card case
0:19:57 > 0:20:00bought for £40. Can it "call in" a profit?
0:20:00 > 0:20:05And, finally, Angela was keen to get her paws on this Branham pottery cat
0:20:05 > 0:20:10for £90. We'll find out if it brings the Reds any luck later on.
0:20:10 > 0:20:11Hey, guys, finished!
0:20:11 > 0:20:14- That's pretty good, isn't it?- Yes. - That's cool.- Yes.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- In 45 minutes! Are you happy with that?- Very. Very happy.- Yes.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19And you spent how much? 250?
0:20:19 > 0:20:24- 230 I think it was.- £230. That's a very respectable amount of money
0:20:24 > 0:20:29- is 230. I'd like £70, please, from somebody.- There you go.- £70. Good.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33This is for Thomas's Bonus Buy. It could be your hope...
0:20:33 > 0:20:35- TIM CHUCKLES - ..and prayer.- Yes.
0:20:35 > 0:20:41- What are you going to spend it on, Tom?- I haven't seen anything right yet but I'm going to spend it all.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43He's a devil like this, I can tell you.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46It doesn't matter what it is. Well, good for you(!) Why not?
0:20:46 > 0:20:50- Play the game, Tim!- All right, play it, then, Thomas! Away you go!
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Why don't we remind ourselves quite what the Blues have bought?
0:20:53 > 0:20:55It's scary, isn't it?
0:20:55 > 0:21:00Was it smoke signals that led the Blues to their first purchase
0:21:00 > 0:21:03of a Meerschaum pipe, acquired for £150?
0:21:03 > 0:21:07- A trumpet fanfare, please! - FANFARE PLAYS
0:21:07 > 0:21:12Oh, yes! They also bought a pair of trumpet-shaped silver vases
0:21:12 > 0:21:15for a shiny sum of £57.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17And, finally, Jonathan convinced the Blues
0:21:17 > 0:21:21that, to get a slice of the profit, they should part with £38
0:21:21 > 0:21:23for a modern majolica cheese dish and cover.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Well, well, well,
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- you've finished!- Yes. - You are clever, aren't you?
0:21:28 > 0:21:33- Very.- Three items with three minutes to spare.- We didn't think we could do a last minute rush at our age.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37- No, quite. You can't overdo it, can you?- Put them all to shame.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- Now, how much did you spend, sweet pea?- £245.
0:21:40 > 0:21:45- That would mean you've got £55 left over.- Exactly. - Is that £55 about your person?
0:21:45 > 0:21:47- Yes.- It is? Please may I have it?
0:21:47 > 0:21:51- Yes.- Not keen on passing this over, are you, Mavis?- I can vouch for that.
0:21:51 > 0:21:52CHUCKLING
0:21:52 > 0:21:55So, what are you going to do with the 55, Jonathan?
0:21:55 > 0:22:00There's a lot of good choice here so I'm actually going to enjoy a little bit more shopping on my own.
0:22:00 > 0:22:06- Whatever it might be, make sure it makes a profit.- Yes. - That's what we hope for, isn't it?
0:22:06 > 0:22:11Good luck, Jonathan. For me, now, and you, we're heading off somewhere spectacular.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24We're so lucky in this country that so much of our heritage survives,
0:22:24 > 0:22:28particularly in the large number of country houses open to the public -
0:22:28 > 0:22:31like Weston Park, here in the heart of England.
0:22:33 > 0:22:38A house has stood here in the grounds of Weston Park since the 12th century and, over time,
0:22:38 > 0:22:42a large collection of fine furniture and paintings has been assembled,
0:22:42 > 0:22:45including a number of magnificent tapestries.
0:22:48 > 0:22:53But what would happen if a spark came out of the fire and ignited the house?
0:22:53 > 0:22:58Well, it jolly nearly happened here. In the 19th century,
0:22:58 > 0:23:02two of the Bridgeman sisters were gathered before dinner in front of the fire
0:23:02 > 0:23:06and a spark did ignite one of their petticoats. The other sister
0:23:06 > 0:23:11flung herself upon her sister to try and save her and they both died -
0:23:11 > 0:23:12burnt to a crisp.
0:23:14 > 0:23:20So, what would you do if you were seriously worried about fire in a stately home like this?
0:23:20 > 0:23:25Well, you'd probably print out your instructions in the event of a fire, which is what we've got here.
0:23:25 > 0:23:31Not surprisingly, you'd tell them to ring the fire brigade. Ring the local fire brigade!
0:23:31 > 0:23:38Ring Wolverhampton...10. Or Stafford...1!
0:23:38 > 0:23:42Not difficult to remember these telephone numbers.
0:23:42 > 0:23:47You'd then tell the staff, having rung the fire brigade, what to get out of the house first
0:23:47 > 0:23:49in order of importance.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52And first on the list here...
0:23:52 > 0:23:53is tapestry.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Not surprising really because this is the tapestry room.
0:23:56 > 0:24:01This is a room completely contained by tapestry -
0:24:01 > 0:24:05tapestry that looks as if it was made for this space.
0:24:05 > 0:24:12Actually the tapestry was commissioned by a member of the family in 1766
0:24:12 > 0:24:16from the French Gobelin factory and it was fitted in their London house
0:24:16 > 0:24:21and it wasn't removed to Weston Park until 1868,
0:24:21 > 0:24:26just over 100 years later. And it's a kind of miracle
0:24:26 > 0:24:31that this tapestry, made to fit a room nearly perfectly, fits this one.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35There is just a little gap in some of the corners,
0:24:35 > 0:24:38which have had to be filled in with some painted panels
0:24:38 > 0:24:40and, if you look either side of the window,
0:24:40 > 0:24:46there are two stripes there where they've had, later, a tapestry woven to more or less match.
0:24:46 > 0:24:51These tapestry panels are important and valuable
0:24:51 > 0:24:57and they've got woven in the middle panels a mythological scene. For example the one behind me,
0:24:57 > 0:25:02which has Venus and Vulcan, her husband, at his forge
0:25:02 > 0:25:04contained by various assistants
0:25:04 > 0:25:09who are cyclopean - in other words they've only got one eye.
0:25:09 > 0:25:15They're important. They're rare. They're top of the list to remove in the event of a fire.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18And how would you go about that?
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Well, you aren't going to believe this but over here,
0:25:20 > 0:25:24tucked above the skirting in the corner, is a little cupboard.
0:25:24 > 0:25:25If we open it up,
0:25:25 > 0:25:28it reveals a knife.
0:25:28 > 0:25:33A knife that lives in the cupboard in the tapestry room with one purpose -
0:25:33 > 0:25:35in the event of a fire, you'd use it
0:25:35 > 0:25:39for cutting away the stitching all around each of these tapestries
0:25:39 > 0:25:41so that they could be rolled up and saved.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45The big question today is, which of our teams will survive
0:25:45 > 0:25:49the cut and thrust of the auction? Ooo-arrr!
0:26:07 > 0:26:12Well, it's great to be at Charles Hanson's saleroom in Mackworth just outside Derby.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15- It's filling up, Charles.- Tim, it's getting busy. My eyes are everywhere
0:26:15 > 0:26:18because there's clients and all sorts going on but it's great.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22Anyway, for the Red team to start off with, Angela and Dave,
0:26:22 > 0:26:26- they went with this drabware jug. - Yes.
0:26:26 > 0:26:32Tim, we call it drabware but it's high-Victorian taste and drab the type of earthenware body
0:26:32 > 0:26:33but it's high Victorian.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36It's fussy, it's over-the-top,
0:26:36 > 0:26:39it's all of the wonderful period of the 1850s.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Yes.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43..Right, what's it worth?
0:26:43 > 0:26:45CHARLES CHUCKLES I would say between 40 and 60.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Very good. They paid £100.
0:26:47 > 0:26:48It's in good condition.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50- They paid £100. - Right, it's expensive.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53Next is the card case which is in good nick
0:26:53 > 0:26:56and all together. Um, what do you think that's worth, Charles?
0:26:56 > 0:27:01Calling-card cases are a great bygone of the past. Do you have a calling-card case of a similar type?
0:27:01 > 0:27:05- No.- No.- I don't actually, Charles.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Tim, I... I know they make £50 to £60.
0:27:08 > 0:27:13That one's had a bit of wear and tear so I'm being a bit mean at between 30 and 40.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15- £40 paid.- Right.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17And, lastly, we've got this...
0:27:17 > 0:27:19- this cat. It comes from Barnstaple. - Yes.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22And, of course, Barnstaple is where I was born.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24- Yes.- So it has a very, very soft spot for me.
0:27:24 > 0:27:29Yes. I again... I've been a bit, I suppose, naive in putting a guide price of between £40 and £60
0:27:29 > 0:27:34but knowing early art pottery and interest in cats it could make a bit more.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36I think it might... They paid £90.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39- Right, OK.- I think you could find that it might make £100.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42- Right.- You know, I don't think they're so far off.- No.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Fair enough for your estimate but, I think, stand by
0:27:45 > 0:27:49and see how this little pussy does in the auction.
0:27:49 > 0:27:55- Yes, indeed.- If it doesn't do well, we might look for the Bonus Buy. In which case, let's look at it.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Angela and Dave, you spent £230 which is magnificent.
0:27:58 > 0:28:03You gave to Thomas £70. Has he blown the lot? Thomas, show us what you found?
0:28:03 > 0:28:08I didn't blow the lot. I went halves and I bought a Moorcroft dwarf candlestick.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11- Mmm?- Hmm? Have a look at it.
0:28:11 > 0:28:18Now, I spent £32 on this fine piece of Moorcroft, which is obviously a very popular pottery,
0:28:18 > 0:28:20highly collected. What do you think of it?
0:28:20 > 0:28:22I quite like that.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24- Yeah.- Do you?- Mmm.- A pretty pattern.
0:28:24 > 0:28:29No, it doesn't really appeal to me. It's nice colours and everything else but...
0:28:29 > 0:28:31I spent £32 on that.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34- And what do you think it's...? - I predict a profit.- Of?
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Of £3 at 35!
0:28:36 > 0:28:37THOMAS CHUCKLES
0:28:37 > 0:28:42It should make between £35 and £40. It is widely collectable.
0:28:42 > 0:28:47Let's find out from the auctioneer what he thinks about Thomas's single candlestick.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51Right, then, Charles, a single candlestick, um, Moorcroft.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55Yes, a short candlestick, Tim. It's on a plain white ground.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58We think of the great patterns.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00It's what it is, Tim, between £30 and £40.
0:29:00 > 0:29:06£32 paid by Thomas Plant so he may have got that absolutely spot-on if, of course, the team go with it.
0:29:06 > 0:29:12- Yes.- Now, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues, Terry and Mave, the first item up
0:29:12 > 0:29:13- is the wee pipe.- Oh, dear, Tim.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17- Yes? How are you with this, Charles? - Well, Tim,
0:29:17 > 0:29:20we are of the opinion it is composition...
0:29:21 > 0:29:23- ..rather than being... - Pukka Meerschaum?
0:29:23 > 0:29:25..Meerschaum. Correct.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Right, so it's not what perhaps they thought it was.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31As a composition copy, what do you think it's worth?
0:29:31 > 0:29:36- Difficult. I'm putting it in at between £30 and £50.- Fair enough.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39It could race away and reveal all or it could make very little.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43Well, frankly it has revealed all! That's most interesting, Charles.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45- They paid £150.- Oh, golly.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49Next is the trumpet-shaped silver Birmingham vases.
0:29:49 > 0:29:54- Perfectly simple, straightforward almost modern-looking, aren't they, but actually 1908?- Yes.- Mmm.
0:29:54 > 0:29:59Tim, my guide price on them - I quite rate them - between £50 and £80.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01Brilliant, £57 they paid.
0:30:01 > 0:30:07- So they may be clawing some of their losses back on old Meerschaum the bare bottom.- Yes, let's hope so.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10What about that cheese cloche?
0:30:10 > 0:30:14- Tim, it's what I would call lumpy. - Lumpy?- Lumpy.- Yes.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17The value of it is decorative.
0:30:17 > 0:30:22- Mmm.- And when we use the word "decorative", we politely let clients down.- Yes.- By saying,
0:30:22 > 0:30:27- "Thanks for coming."- Yes. - It's ornamental without any significant pedigree.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30- How much do you think? - My guide price is between 20 and 30.
0:30:30 > 0:30:36- Is that all?- It ought to make 35. - Yes. It'll make £35 or £40 or maybe even £50.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40- Yes.- It's just that you're pointing out that this is not the right one. - Correct.
0:30:40 > 0:30:45- Well, the way it's looking, I think that that pipe is going to be going bottoms-up, right?- Yes.
0:30:45 > 0:30:49In which case, they're going to need the Bonus Buy, so let's go and look at it.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52Now, this is moment where Jonathan Pratt,
0:30:52 > 0:30:56your expert, would ordinarily reveal what he's spent all the leftover lolly on.
0:30:56 > 0:31:01But, sadly, because of a family illness, he's not here today.
0:31:01 > 0:31:02So I'm going to have to step in.
0:31:02 > 0:31:08- This is the object that Jonathan bought and I'm going to reveal it. Ta-da.- That's nice.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12- Look at that.- It is nice, isn't it? I know he never spent more than £55 on it,
0:31:12 > 0:31:15- because that's all we had left. - Quite right.- So...
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Jonathan is very canny. I'm going to pass it to you.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21That's a piece of metalwork that was made in Austria
0:31:21 > 0:31:23around about 1900.
0:31:23 > 0:31:291900/1905. Complete with its liner, and traditionally used for sugar.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32- What do you think about that, Mavis? - Part of a tea service.
0:31:32 > 0:31:36So it's pierced and on those little squat feet.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39It's not made of silver, it's silver plate,
0:31:39 > 0:31:44but nevertheless, it's very finely made and in good condition.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47- So how much did he spend on this? - Jonathan Pratt paid £40.
0:31:47 > 0:31:54- £40?- Yeah. He thinks that in it, there is £10-£20 profit. - What age is this, would you say?
0:31:54 > 0:31:59- 1910, I'd say.- 1910.- Yeah. Well, you don't need to decide right now, decide later
0:31:59 > 0:32:03after the sale of the first three items, but for the viewers at home,
0:32:03 > 0:32:07let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Jonathan's little basket.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10So, Charles, we'd very much value your opinion on this.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13I think it's got two great forms here. We've got the Art Nouveau,
0:32:13 > 0:32:16with this wonderful almost bellflower embossed frieze.
0:32:16 > 0:32:21Below in the handle, with the feel of the Continental...
0:32:24 > 0:32:26- Secessionist?- Yes.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28Secessionist. It's very stiff.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30- Yes.- Very stiff modernism, shall we say.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32My guide price is between £20 and £30.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35- OK. Jonathan paid £40.- OK.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38- So there is some hope. - Yes, I hope so.- Good.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41- Good luck in the auction. - I might need it!
0:32:46 > 0:32:48All out...
0:32:50 > 0:32:55- Have you ever seen such a busy sale? I mean, it's crammed, isn't it? - Yeah. It's brilliant.
0:32:55 > 0:33:01- All here to bid on our items. - All to bid on your items?- Yes. - Well, there's confidence for you!
0:33:01 > 0:33:04Right, first up, though, is the jug and here it comes.
0:33:04 > 0:33:05Here we are.
0:33:05 > 0:33:10It's a delightful Charles Meigh & Son salt-glazed stoneware jug.
0:33:10 > 0:33:15- We have got interest. I am bid £25. - God!- That's all.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19Do I see £28 now? Come on. 8, 32.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21- I'm out. Do I see 5?- Oh.
0:33:21 > 0:33:26- At £32, do I see 5 now? Come on, it's very inexpensive.- Go!
0:33:26 > 0:33:28At £32, surely 5?
0:33:28 > 0:33:31At £32, miss, are you in?
0:33:32 > 0:33:34No. Not quite yet.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36We'll wait for you. It's your bid, sir,
0:33:36 > 0:33:42fair warning. I'll take 5, or at £32 we sell, once, twice,
0:33:42 > 0:33:45three times to you, sir, at £32.
0:33:45 > 0:33:46Yes, we are.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50- £32, that's a bloodbath, that is. - No!- That's terrible.
0:33:50 > 0:33:54That's £68 down the spout. £68. Oh, dear.
0:33:54 > 0:33:58- This is the one, then. - This is the one. This is the one that's going to claw back.
0:33:58 > 0:34:03Rectangular card case of around 1900.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06My great colleague on the phone there,
0:34:06 > 0:34:08donning his sports jacket.
0:34:08 > 0:34:14Lot 93, lozenge card case. And I am bid straight in at 30.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16- Come on!- That's good, that's good.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Come on. 2,
0:34:19 > 0:34:225, 8, 40, 2...
0:34:22 > 0:34:27Are you sure? Look at me. No? You're out, I'm in. 40,
0:34:27 > 0:34:30I'll take 2 now. The lady at the back, you're in at £42.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33£42...against our £60 loss.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36We'll go to the phone in one sec. At £42,
0:34:36 > 0:34:42do I see on the phone 5? 50, madam? I'll take 48. Yes!
0:34:42 > 0:34:4648, 50...2...
0:34:46 > 0:34:51- "At 50, I'll go 2, I'll go 5." It's frustrating!- Why not go 60?
0:34:51 > 0:34:54No. £50.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57All done. We sell at £50. Once, twice, three times,
0:34:57 > 0:34:59the phone bid secures it.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01- Yes!- Well done. £50, perfect.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04- Plus £10, well done, Tom, that was your find.- That's all right.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07- So, now, the cat.- Come on!
0:35:07 > 0:35:11This is a Branham cat. There we are,
0:35:11 > 0:35:15delightful, dark green glazed earthenware cat.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18I'm only bid £25.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20- No!- Rubbish.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23£25.
0:35:23 > 0:35:28Do I see 8? A delightful cat, 28, 30, 2. 5, 8.
0:35:28 > 0:35:3040, 2. 5, 8.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33- 50, 5. 60...- Come on, come on.
0:35:33 > 0:35:3755, doorway bid. That's better. Do I see 60 in the room now?
0:35:37 > 0:35:39- 55, there, come on, 60.- More!
0:35:39 > 0:35:4155 I'll take, 60, miss?
0:35:41 > 0:35:45No, she says. 55, do I see 60 now?
0:35:45 > 0:35:47Once, twice, three times, we sell.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Make no mistake, it's going to the doorway bid
0:35:49 > 0:35:53at £55...selling...
0:35:53 > 0:35:55Minus £35 pounds on that.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59Minus £93 which is a disaster. Are you going with the Bonus Buy or not?
0:35:59 > 0:36:02- Yeah, definitely.- Definitely. - Yeah?- Yeah.- Go with it?
0:36:02 > 0:36:04- We have to.- Here it comes.
0:36:04 > 0:36:08Moorcroft, not marked.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10What do you mean? It's stamped!
0:36:10 > 0:36:14It's stamped. My apologies. - It's stamped on the base.
0:36:14 > 0:36:18- It's very faint... - It's stamped. It's stamped.
0:36:18 > 0:36:19- It is Moorcroft,
0:36:19 > 0:36:24and I am bid straight in here 30. It's Moorcroft,
0:36:24 > 0:36:25do I see 2?
0:36:25 > 0:36:28- Yes, you do.- Yes.- Yes, you do, come on.
0:36:28 > 0:36:3230, I'll take 2 now. Come on. 30. Where's 2?
0:36:32 > 0:36:3430, I'll take 2 now, surely?
0:36:34 > 0:36:37We're very quiet... 2! 5, 8.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39Yes!
0:36:39 > 0:36:42One more, 38...
0:36:42 > 0:36:45More! One more!
0:36:45 > 0:36:46CROWD LAUGHS
0:36:46 > 0:36:49It's against you...
0:36:49 > 0:36:52and I'm out, you're in. £38, all done we say,
0:36:52 > 0:36:57I'll take 40, or at £38 all out, fair warning, all done,
0:36:57 > 0:36:58the lady in the centre.
0:36:58 > 0:37:04- Well done.- Well done.- £38. A profit of £6, Tom, is a profit of £6.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07That gets you down to £87.
0:37:07 > 0:37:11You are minus 87, all right? Let's not get excited about this,
0:37:11 > 0:37:14- this is MINUS 87, all right? - Had better days.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17- Well, the thing is now, don't tell the Blues a thing, all right?- No.
0:37:17 > 0:37:21- Out of embarrassment.- Keep them in the dark. Don't say another word.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29Terry and Mavis, how are you feeling?
0:37:29 > 0:37:33- Better than good, me.- Better than good?- Better than good. - I'm a bit apprehensive.- Are you?
0:37:33 > 0:37:36- Yeah.- Have you been talking to those Reds?- No.- Good.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40- You don't know how well or how badly they've done?- No. - That's just as well, then.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44Good. Anyway, first up is this dodgy, naughty,
0:37:44 > 0:37:47semi-erotic pipe bowl and here it comes.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50There we are, being shown for you there -
0:37:50 > 0:37:54carved to one side with a female head, the reverse quite startling.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56There we are.
0:37:56 > 0:38:00- Good old Charles, he's doing his best.- He's trying.
0:38:00 > 0:38:05Lot 113, I'm bid here £35 straight in.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09Oh, all right. Come on, come on.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13Do I see 40 now for a good novelty...
0:38:13 > 0:38:15object. Surely...?
0:38:15 > 0:38:18Come on, come on! Come on! A bit more!
0:38:18 > 0:38:23Look for 40. 40, are we in in the room? Surely one more?
0:38:23 > 0:38:26I've got £35, do I see 40 now?
0:38:26 > 0:38:29He's trying, he's trying. He's trying.
0:38:29 > 0:38:30You're out?
0:38:30 > 0:38:36Out. Fair warning, we shall sell, make no mistake, going...
0:38:36 > 0:38:40at £35. Once, twice, out in the room no takers...
0:38:40 > 0:38:45- Oh, dear. That's a sting. - It didn't even sell?- Minus 115.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49- No, it sold for £35.- Oh. - Oh, it sold.- Minus 115,
0:38:49 > 0:38:52that's a wallop, that is. I mean, bare bottom or not.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54Anyway, here come the vases.
0:38:54 > 0:39:00Beaded, crimped vases on loaded bases, made in Birmingham.
0:39:00 > 0:39:04I am bid £40 for these vases. Do I see 2?
0:39:04 > 0:39:0840, I'll take 2 now. Come on. 40, I'll take 2.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10They're silver, hallmarked. Do I see 2? Come on.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12Come on, I say come on!
0:39:12 > 0:39:1440, 2, I'm out, sir.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16I'll take 5 here? You in, ma'am?
0:39:16 > 0:39:19- Yes.- 45. Well, thank you for coming! 45!
0:39:19 > 0:39:2248, 50.
0:39:22 > 0:39:26- More!- Come on. - I'll take 2, sir. £52,
0:39:26 > 0:39:30- yes or no?- Yes!- No, he says. The lady in at 50,
0:39:30 > 0:39:33I'll take 2 now. 50, I'll take 2, one more surely?
0:39:33 > 0:39:35At 50 all done...
0:39:35 > 0:39:3950, we say to the lady at the front, sale. Yours.
0:39:39 > 0:39:4250 at the front. There we go, then. Minus £7.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Oh, dear, oh, dear. This is going worse, isn't it?
0:39:44 > 0:39:48Here comes the cheese dish.
0:39:48 > 0:39:52Here is a rather remarkable cheese standing cover
0:39:52 > 0:39:56in the 19th-century aesthetic taste. There it is.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59We have got interest here. I am bid 20, I'll take 2 now.
0:39:59 > 0:40:0020, I'll take 2 for good luck.
0:40:00 > 0:40:0320, I'll take 2, come on.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07I say come on! Come on! What's the matter with them today? Come on!
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Look at me. 20, I'll take 2.
0:40:09 > 0:40:122 surely? 20...
0:40:12 > 0:40:14£20...
0:40:14 > 0:40:15I'll take 2, going once. I'll take 2.
0:40:15 > 0:40:19All out...we sell it, make no mistake...
0:40:19 > 0:40:23£20...is my bid.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26And we are going at 20.
0:40:26 > 0:40:27All out and done.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30- £20, well, that's hard cheese. - It is.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33- Is this a record?- Yeah, it is. Pretty bad record.
0:40:33 > 0:40:37That's minus 18 on that, 22, 32...
0:40:37 > 0:40:40- Minus £140. - Well, that's not too bad, then(!)
0:40:40 > 0:40:45- What?! Minus £140! - Thank goodness it wasn't our money!
0:40:45 > 0:40:50I mean, £140! This is...knee-wobbling bad.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53- It is.- It is.- Who knows? We could make it up on the Bonus Buy.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56- You could make it up on the Bonus Buy.- Yes.- OK, fine.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00- You going to go with this Bonus Buy? - Definitely.- You've got no choice, have you?
0:41:00 > 0:41:02We're going with Jonathan's Bonus Buy. Here we go.
0:41:02 > 0:41:08There we are. It's a very nice Continental, pierced,
0:41:08 > 0:41:13plated, handled basket in the Art Nouveau, early 20th-century style,
0:41:13 > 0:41:15with a clear glass liner.
0:41:15 > 0:41:19Nice object, this. Bit of interest.
0:41:19 > 0:41:25- I am bid £20. Do I see £25? - We need this to make 150.
0:41:25 > 0:41:2822, surely 5 now. Come on.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31- Come on, the lot of you.- 22. - Come on!
0:41:31 > 0:41:335, 8, sir, 30?
0:41:33 > 0:41:37And I'm out. Do I see 2? Surely...
0:41:37 > 0:41:3930, I'll take 2. Come on.
0:41:39 > 0:41:4030, I'll take 2 now.
0:41:40 > 0:41:44One more do I see? 30, all out, once, twice...
0:41:44 > 0:41:46three times, to you, sir, we say sale.
0:41:46 > 0:41:50Oh, dear. £30. I'm afraid that's another £10 loss,
0:41:50 > 0:41:54- which rounds it up to minus 150. - We are consistent, aren't we?
0:41:54 > 0:41:57- It's a nice round figure, that is. - It's a lovely round figure.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00- Mmm.- Not many can do that, you know! - No!
0:42:06 > 0:42:12Well, on Bargain Hunt, as you know, we don't have losers any more, we simply have runners-up.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15And today, the runners-up, by a considerable margin, are the Blues.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18- Oh, no!- Really?- Yes!
0:42:18 > 0:42:20Minus 150...
0:42:20 > 0:42:23is a pretty good score by anybody's count.
0:42:23 > 0:42:29Aided and abetted by the fact that you went with the Bonus Buy, which added another £10 to your losses,
0:42:29 > 0:42:31so minus 150.
0:42:31 > 0:42:36Congratulations on doing...well, moderately well, shall we say?
0:42:36 > 0:42:38But the winners today by a long chalk -
0:42:38 > 0:42:40by only managing to lose £87...
0:42:40 > 0:42:41ALL LAUGH
0:42:41 > 0:42:44Yes, you did make a nice profit on your card case,
0:42:44 > 0:42:46- which is very nice.- Yes.
0:42:46 > 0:42:50- And you made a profit on your Moorcroft candlesticks, which is nice.- Yes.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53- But I don't think we'll be talking much about the rest. - ALL: No.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56- But did you have a good time? - Excellent.- We had a great time.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59- Join us soon for more Bargain Hunting, yes? - ALL: Yes!
