Ah, the sound of traditional Scottish bagpipes | 0:00:03 | 0:00:08 | |
can only mean one thing - we hope to BAG lots of our own | 0:00:08 | 0:00:12 | |
bargains here in Scotland, so let's go bargain hunting! | 0:00:12 | 0:00:17 | |
We've taken the high road | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
to the Royal Highland Centre just outside Edinburgh. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
There are 150 stalls here for our teams to pick over, | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
and just look at what we've got coming up. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
On Bargain Hunt today, what a cracking auction we have in store, promising both ups... | 0:00:58 | 0:01:03 | |
..and downs. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:07 | |
All that's to come. Now, before we start, let me remind you of the rules. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:13 | |
Each team gets £300 and an hour to buy three objects which they sell | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
later at auction, and the team that makes the most profit wins. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
Easy, isn't it? Now let's go and meet the teams. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
So for the Reds today we have Orsa and Roisin, and for the Blues we have Jo and Avril. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:28 | |
-Welcome to Bargain Hunt. -Thank you. -Och, aye. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
Now, you girls, how long have you been friends and where did you meet? | 0:01:31 | 0:01:35 | |
Well, we've been friends for seven years and we met at the George Hotel in Edinburgh at a corporate do. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:41 | |
We were sampling some champagne and canapes from around the world - | 0:01:41 | 0:01:46 | |
ostrich and kangaroo, I recall - and we were having a great conversation and we set off from there. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:52 | |
So what is better, then - the ostrich or the kangaroo? | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
-I preferred the ostrich, but I'm not sure... -Neither. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
-..that you liked either of them! -Well, you're both definitely carnivores, which is nice. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:03 | |
-Roisin, it says on my card that you have a passion for all things nautical. -That's right, yes. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:07 | |
I am inspired by the sea. I love anything to do with the sea, | 0:02:07 | 0:02:12 | |
-everything from water sports... I've been diving with Great Whites in South Africa. -Have you? | 0:02:12 | 0:02:17 | |
Scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
I've also swum with manta rays... | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
Are you a Piscean? | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
-No, I'm not. -Well, that's unlucky! | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
I was rather hoping you would be with all that fishy interest. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
Well, that's lovely. Now, Orsa, that's an unusual name. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
-Where does that come from? -It's Norwegian, Tim. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
My father's Norwegian. I'm half Welsh and half Norwegian. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
Gosh, that's a lovely mixture. Now, you've got a great passion for music. Tell us about that. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
Yes, I... Very many years ago, | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
about eight years ago, I worked part-time as a singing waitress. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
-Did you? -And I decided that I didn't want to sing karaoke any more | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
and so I started writing songs, so I've been a singer-songwriter for the last seven years. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:59 | |
And as well as your interest in singing, what are your other creative pursuits? | 0:02:59 | 0:03:03 | |
Well, I like painting and I also like a bit of a challenge as well, and when I first moved to Edinburgh, | 0:03:03 | 0:03:08 | |
I'd made a list of ten things that I wanted to achieve within the first year that I was there. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:13 | |
-I did belly dancing for about five weeks. -Did you? | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
-How was the belly dancing? -It was OK. Bit sore on the old hips. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:20 | |
-Is it? -Yes! -How do you girls reckon you're going to get on today, then? Pretty good? -Oh, we're up for it. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:24 | |
-Full of zest... -Should the Blues be quaking in their boots? | 0:03:24 | 0:03:29 | |
Oh, I think so. Very scared! | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
I don't think these Blues are quaking at all, so... | 0:03:31 | 0:03:35 | |
Sorry to interrupt you. Roisin and I wanted to present you with a wee gift that we got for you. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:41 | |
-For me? -Yes, cos you're always so immaculately dressed, and we know you have a penchant | 0:03:41 | 0:03:45 | |
-for bow ties. -Oh, is that a hint as to what's in here? -Yes, I probably just gave that away. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:50 | |
I think you did. I'm going to grab and I'm going to have a look. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:55 | |
Um, how very kind... Oh, look at that! | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
Is that the tie? This is the tie from heaven! | 0:03:58 | 0:04:02 | |
-A proper Scottish Cameron tartan. -Yes. -Cameron tartan. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
Thank you very much. Really sweet of you. Thank you. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
Now, if you think, by plying me with gifts like this, | 0:04:07 | 0:04:11 | |
you'll get favouritism today... you're absolutely right. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
Now, girls, how long have you two been friends? | 0:04:14 | 0:04:16 | |
About two years. We met at a church and kind of clicked. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:20 | |
In fact, the first time we met, somebody thought I was Avril. They kind of mistook us. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:25 | |
That's really weird when that happens, isn't it? | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
-And what do you do for a living, Jo? -I work partly at Glasgow University. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:31 | |
I work on a sculpture project. We're researching sculpture 1851 to 1951, | 0:04:31 | 0:04:37 | |
and it's all going to go online, so I'm editing data at the moment. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:42 | |
Well, that's really interesting, cos there is a great tradition of sculpture in Glasgow, isn't there? | 0:04:42 | 0:04:48 | |
Glasgow's a fabulous place for sculpture and other fine arts as well. Yeah, it's good. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:53 | |
Yes. So once it gets on the database, we can all access it. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
-It'll be fully searchable and accessible for everybody free, so, yeah... -That's really exciting. Good. | 0:04:55 | 0:05:00 | |
Now, Avril, apart from expertly playing the bagpipes, which you did beautifully for our introduction, | 0:05:00 | 0:05:05 | |
thank you, do you have any other instruments under your belt? | 0:05:05 | 0:05:09 | |
Um, not as yet, but an uncle has lent me his accordion, | 0:05:09 | 0:05:14 | |
so I'm attempting to try and learn the accordion at the moment. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
It says here, you like to try new things, like knitting and the samba, | 0:05:17 | 0:05:21 | |
-but the two don't go together particularly, do they? -I just like a new challenge. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:26 | |
So I don't always stick at things, but I do like to test myself. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:30 | |
Would you say that you're a great starter if not a great finisher? | 0:05:30 | 0:05:34 | |
Well, I'm hoping to be a good finisher, but I do enjoy something | 0:05:34 | 0:05:38 | |
new, so I do find myself drawn to lots of different things, yeah. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
Well, I think you're going to do terribly well on Bargain Hunt today, and good luck with that. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
Two teams of girls... | 0:05:44 | 0:05:46 | |
what could be nicer? Now the money moment. Here's your £300. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:50 | |
-That's that and, gripping my beautiful bow tie, I hand you your £300. -Thank you very much. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:54 | |
You know the rules, your experts await, and off you go, and very, very, very good luck. | 0:05:54 | 0:06:00 | |
Cor, isn't that sweet? Och, aye! | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
And now, time to meet our experts here in Bonnie Scotland. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:07 | |
Helping out the Reds today is Paul Laidlaw, | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
and for the Blues it's Catherine Southon. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
-Let's go bargain hunting. -Yay! | 0:06:19 | 0:06:21 | |
Let's do it! | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
So, with the clock ticking away, both our girl teams are off. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:29 | |
And with that finely tuned nose for a bargain, can Catherine smell success in the air? | 0:06:32 | 0:06:37 | |
I love that. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:42 | |
A little perfume atomiser. What do you think about that? | 0:06:42 | 0:06:45 | |
-I quite like the colours. -I like the colour there. -This is beautiful. -Yeah, this is like... | 0:06:45 | 0:06:50 | |
This is guilloche enamel, and it's just a beautiful colour, isn't it? | 0:06:50 | 0:06:54 | |
-Mmm! -And this here, this hallmark... that's silver, solid silver. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:59 | |
I think it's rather charming. What do you think? | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
-It is very pretty and... -Can I see? -Yeah, absolutely. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
-I think it's really elegant. I think it's got the look... -It has got the look, absolutely. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:09 | |
Yeah, and your eye's drawn to the enamelling. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
No, I think it's great. I like it. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:15 | |
Avril? | 0:07:15 | 0:07:17 | |
Yeah, I do like it. I just... I suppose I'm not quite convinced. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:21 | |
No, I'm not getting good vibes from you. You're not very excited about this. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:26 | |
I like this. The more I look at it, the more I like it, and I think, even at that price... | 0:07:26 | 0:07:31 | |
56. I think that's a fair price, and if we can get that down as well... | 0:07:31 | 0:07:34 | |
We would to get it down a bit. I wouldn't want to pay that. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:37 | |
If they're willing to put it aside, then I think that we could come back to it. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:42 | |
Let's make a decision. What do you think? Shall we keep it for now? | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
Do you want to ask the gentleman if he'll hang onto it and come back or do you want to buy it? | 0:07:44 | 0:07:49 | |
If you think you want to buy it, though... | 0:07:49 | 0:07:51 | |
-If they would hang onto it for a little while, let's do that. -I'm sure they will. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:55 | |
I hope nobody snaps it up while you're away. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:59 | |
Look at that! | 0:07:59 | 0:08:01 | |
-That's so cute! -What do you think? | 0:08:01 | 0:08:03 | |
-You like? -Yeah. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
-How old is it, do you think? -Well, that is a Victorian piece. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
That should date to 1860, 1870, if I compare it to the full-sized equivalent. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:15 | |
-I see a lot like this that are pretty numb. -Oh, right. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:19 | |
Intended for children, second best. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
But in terms of the quality of the turning, look at that. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:25 | |
-That's sweet. It's quite tight. -It's quite sturdy, then. -This is nice, period brushwork. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:32 | |
There's age to it. Frankly, a bit of wax, | 0:08:32 | 0:08:35 | |
-and that is good to go. -Should we...? | 0:08:35 | 0:08:38 | |
-What's the price? -125, but do you think we could get them to come down a bit if we're interested. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:43 | |
I have no idea. All you can do is ask. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:46 | |
-OK, let's do it. -I'm going to have a wee shuftie elsewhere. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:49 | |
-Who's the stallholder? -Hi, there! | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
-70's a bit low on it, I'm afraid. -What...? | 0:08:52 | 0:08:56 | |
-80? 85? It's our first... you know, item. -Oh, bless you! -It's our first one. | 0:08:56 | 0:09:04 | |
We really like it. We think it's gorgeous. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:06 | |
-It's beautiful. -It's a lovely little chair. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
-Go on, 85. -85? | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |
Really? Oh, that's so kind of you. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
You better make money on it, though! | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
Oh, what a lovely stallholder! | 0:09:15 | 0:09:17 | |
So, with the first purchase in the bag, the Reds are off to a great start. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:23 | |
Hang on! There's no time for sitting down on this show, you know. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:27 | |
The more cautionary Blues have been drawn to an Art Deco jug. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:35 | |
-Do you think...? -What have you found? | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
A Clarice Cliff jug. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:40 | |
-I didn't want to buy Clarice Cliff, but I like the look of it. -Clarice Cliff does sell, sells well. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:44 | |
-Why were you drawn towards it? -The shape of the handle, the elegance of the design. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:49 | |
That's real Art Deco, isn't it, with this lovely angular handle? | 0:09:49 | 0:09:52 | |
It's a design piece. It's got a good look. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:54 | |
I like that, Jo, actually. It's quite fun. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
If you like it, you buy it. How much is on it? | 0:09:57 | 0:09:59 | |
It is quite expensive. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:01 | |
-We've not got much money. -Ouch. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:04 | |
Can you do us a deal? We really need to make a bargain on it. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
It will make a bargain at any price. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
-Em...75... -It's not typical Clarice Cliff. You know, it's not the bright sort of colours. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:17 | |
55? | 0:10:17 | 0:10:19 | |
Shall we go for it? | 0:10:19 | 0:10:22 | |
Catherine, what's your...? | 0:10:22 | 0:10:23 | |
-Your reaction. -My reaction is, I could... | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
-honestly, I could probably see it at auction with an estimate of 30 to 50. -Oh, right. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:30 | |
Or 40 to 50. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:32 | |
50? Could you do 50 and then...? | 0:10:32 | 0:10:34 | |
-50 and that's my lowest. -And we'll do a deal. Do you think that's...? | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
-Cos we both like it. It's the first time that we've both... -WE could buy it! | 0:10:37 | 0:10:41 | |
Well, you were both drawn to it. I didn't even see it. You were both drawn towards it. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:45 | |
Yeah, let's go with our fun purchase. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
-Your fun purchase? Your first fun purchase, first fun purchase. -Yes. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:53 | |
-Let's buy it. -OK, good. -OK, thank you. -Thank you! | 0:10:53 | 0:10:57 | |
It's all fun, fun, fun on this programme, ladies, especially when you both agree on a purchase. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:03 | |
Oh, it's got, like, a little griffin thing. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:09 | |
-I thought it was a seahorse, but it's not. -That's unusual. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:11 | |
Well, that's a little... We call it a caryatid when you have a torso and generally on a single stylised leg. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:17 | |
That is an epergne, it's a vase, in cased glass. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:23 | |
-See, the...trumpet is in layers. -Oh, right, yeah. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:28 | |
A touch of the almost uranium yellow | 0:11:28 | 0:11:31 | |
round that wavy rim there. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:32 | |
Reminds me of seaweed, the shape of it. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
I like it. I think we should ask how much we would get it for, if we could bargain down. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:42 | |
I can see the price tag, which is half the reason I said have a look at that. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:49 | |
Cos it's quite stylish. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:51 | |
But I think we should ask if he'll slacken that. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:54 | |
Hello! | 0:11:54 | 0:11:57 | |
We're interested in this piece and we were wondering if £48 | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
is the best price you would do or if you would be willing to come down. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:04 | |
-I'd take a bit off it. Not too much, certainly. -Down to 30? -No. No, 40 is definitely the bottom. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:09 | |
-40 would be the bottom. Can we come back? -That's what to do. Have a look round... -Have a think. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:13 | |
Don't want it to go. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:15 | |
I don't know. I think we should... | 0:12:15 | 0:12:18 | |
Don't you think we should...? | 0:12:18 | 0:12:20 | |
Just in case we see something else. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:22 | |
And we know it's there, and if it's for us, it'll be there for us. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:26 | |
-Right, OK. -It's your show. -And you'll do it for 38? -Yes. -If we were coming back for it. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:31 | |
But then that might be gone by the time | 0:12:31 | 0:12:33 | |
-we get back, because it's... -Well, we haven't got long, so... | 0:12:33 | 0:12:37 | |
I don't mean to get shirty with you, but I just... | 0:12:37 | 0:12:40 | |
I just really, um... I don't know. I just think... | 0:12:40 | 0:12:43 | |
I don't know. Don't you think that it's quite beautiful and elegant? | 0:12:43 | 0:12:46 | |
We're wasting time now, so shall we move and come back? | 0:12:46 | 0:12:49 | |
-But it might be gone. -If it's for us, it's for us. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:52 | |
-All right, we'll work on you, darling, all right? -Thanks very much! | 0:12:52 | 0:12:55 | |
So the Reds are off to maybe bag another bargain. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:59 | |
You do come across some extraordinary things in these fairs. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:06 | |
Just look at these two babies. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:08 | |
For those of you who know about these things, you'll immediately | 0:13:08 | 0:13:11 | |
recognise this fellow for what it is. This is a Doodlebug, | 0:13:11 | 0:13:17 | |
the fiendish jet-propelled rocket invented | 0:13:17 | 0:13:21 | |
by the Nazis during the Second World War | 0:13:21 | 0:13:25 | |
and launched in vast numbers to attack London around 1943, 1944. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:31 | |
Basically, they were pretty beastly objects. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:35 | |
Now, this fellow is the next development that the Germans came up with. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:40 | |
This is called a V-2 rocket. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:42 | |
It looks like the sort of rocket that you'd see launched | 0:13:42 | 0:13:46 | |
by the Americans from Cape Canaveral today, but they do have another function. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:51 | |
You can unscrew this beautifully engineered device. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:56 | |
Inside, it reveals... | 0:13:56 | 0:13:59 | |
a petrol cigarette lighter. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:01 | |
How peculiar is that? What are they worth? | 0:14:01 | 0:14:05 | |
Incredibly difficult to value. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:08 | |
The dealer is asking £140 for the two, and that is not expensive. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:13 | |
I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't make nearer £300-£500 each. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:19 | |
Achtung, baby! | 0:14:19 | 0:14:21 | |
Time to go back to the shopping, and just take a look at what the Blues have found. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:26 | |
What do you think of these, Catherine? | 0:14:26 | 0:14:28 | |
They're from the Edinburgh Exhibition from 1886. There's a pair of them. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:32 | |
Right, OK. These transfer-printed beakers. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:36 | |
Yeah. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:38 | |
What's that? "Cardinal... | 0:14:38 | 0:14:40 | |
"Beaton's house". | 0:14:40 | 0:14:42 | |
This one's Lord Selkirk's house. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:44 | |
-They've got a bit of history to them. -Yeah. -That's quite nice. This one's 1886. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:48 | |
-This one's cracked, actually. -Oh. -Where? -There's a little crack there. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:52 | |
-I'd be a bit worried about... -No, I'd be a bit wary about buying that. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:56 | |
I do really like them, though. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:59 | |
I mean, if you got them for £20 or something... | 0:14:59 | 0:15:03 | |
Do you think we'd get them...? | 0:15:03 | 0:15:06 | |
You like them. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:07 | |
You can only ask. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:10 | |
We do like these, but one's got a crack on it, | 0:15:10 | 0:15:14 | |
and we didn't know whether you'd be able to do a deal for us. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:17 | |
I know they're reduced already, but, um... | 0:15:17 | 0:15:20 | |
We were thinking £20. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:24 | |
Couldn't sell it for £20. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:30 | |
-Did you say 20? -Yeah. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:31 | |
-I couldn't do them as cheap as that, but I could certainly do them for 30. -30? | 0:15:31 | 0:15:36 | |
What do you think? Where's Avril? | 0:15:36 | 0:15:38 | |
I mean, bearing in mind that that is cracked, but there is still another one in nice condition. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:44 | |
-Can I have a wee look at the one that's cracked? -So we've got 19 minutes left. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:49 | |
-We need to make decisions. -We do. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:52 | |
-Do you want to have five minutes to walk up that way... -Yeah. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:56 | |
-..and then come back? -Yeah, we can come back in this direction. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:58 | |
And then we've got two objects left if we can't see anything else... | 0:15:58 | 0:16:02 | |
-At least we've got them banked. -Yeah. Will I ask them to hold onto them for a few minutes? -Yeah. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:07 | |
Oh, no, they're both at it now! | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
Time is ticking away, and that didn't look like a decision to me. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:15 | |
What did you say about ceramics? | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
That looks like Carlton. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
It's a lovely little suite. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:24 | |
It's a delicious little suite. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:26 | |
Could you do us a price? | 0:16:26 | 0:16:28 | |
-Is this for the whole thing? -Yeah. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:31 | |
Is it a bargain? | 0:16:31 | 0:16:32 | |
Could it be a bargain? | 0:16:32 | 0:16:35 | |
40. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:36 | |
40 as a suite? | 0:16:36 | 0:16:38 | |
-That's good. -It's a fair price. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
Oh, no, no, no... I love the price but I've got to think, "What's it going to do at auction?". | 0:16:41 | 0:16:46 | |
Would you come down at all to 30? | 0:16:46 | 0:16:50 | |
-No. -No? We've not got much money left so we're kind of limited... | 0:16:50 | 0:16:54 | |
Neither have I! | 0:16:54 | 0:16:57 | |
Excellent. Is there a compromise in the middle? | 0:16:59 | 0:17:02 | |
-35. -You'd do it for 35? | 0:17:02 | 0:17:04 | |
-Is the condition OK? -It is perfect. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
-It is perfect. -You can have a look. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
Carlton ware. That looks nice, doesn't it? | 0:17:11 | 0:17:14 | |
Sweet. What have we got it for? | 0:17:14 | 0:17:16 | |
-We could get it for 35. -Up to you guys, but... -It's a good price. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:20 | |
I think we'll go for that. Do you think? | 0:17:20 | 0:17:23 | |
-Yes. -Yes? Yes. Thank you. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:25 | |
Thank you very much indeed. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:27 | |
So the Reds have made two purchases but, as ever, time is of the essence. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:32 | |
On Bargain Hunt, there's never enough time for deliberation. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:38 | |
Come on, Blues, make your mind up. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:40 | |
What do you think about those beakers? | 0:17:40 | 0:17:42 | |
-I think we should go for them. -£20. -I don't think we could go wrong. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:46 | |
-Can't go wrong with £20. -Can't go wrong? £20? | 0:17:46 | 0:17:48 | |
The Blues return for the mugs and manage to squeeze another £10 | 0:17:48 | 0:17:53 | |
off the previous asking price, at a cost of £20. Well done, Blues. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:57 | |
These are great things, but today it's priced appropriately. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:04 | |
That's beautiful but time's running out and if we're not going to make a profit on it, | 0:18:04 | 0:18:08 | |
we should get out skates on and head, and there's one other thing I'd like us to look at again. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:13 | |
I think you might know what it is. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:16 | |
-Let's go. -Quick! Come on! | 0:18:16 | 0:18:18 | |
And with both teams neck and neck, the Blues decide to head back to the perfume bottle. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:25 | |
We're getting a bit tight on time now. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:27 | |
Here it was, here. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:29 | |
-How much did you say on it? -It says £56. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:33 | |
I think he said 45, didn't he? > | 0:18:33 | 0:18:35 | |
I know. But your wife... | 0:18:35 | 0:18:37 | |
I said 50 and I was overruled to 48, | 0:18:37 | 0:18:40 | |
and my witness here. It is, it's nice. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:44 | |
-You don't often get the black enamel, do you? -You don't. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:47 | |
We would really like the Blue team to do well. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:49 | |
We'd just really like the Blue team to do well so... | 0:18:49 | 0:18:51 | |
I'm sure you'll do well. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:53 | |
If you could do us a 45, we might do even better. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:55 | |
45. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:58 | |
He's saying yes! Yay! | 0:18:58 | 0:19:00 | |
Go on, then. 45. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:03 | |
-Well done, girls. Well done. That is very good. -You'll do well. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:08 | |
We'll do very well. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:09 | |
Thank you very much. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:11 | |
So the Blues have made all their purchases, | 0:19:12 | 0:19:14 | |
but with two minutes to go, the Reds are really feeling the pressure. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:18 | |
I hope the epergne hasn't been sold. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:21 | |
Hello, we're back. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:24 | |
You still haven't sold this. Would you come down any more? | 0:19:24 | 0:19:27 | |
-I'm sorry, no. -No? Right. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:30 | |
OK. Well, we should... | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
How much was it again? | 0:19:32 | 0:19:35 | |
38, yes? | 0:19:35 | 0:19:37 | |
You've got two minutes! What are you going to do? Make up your mind. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:40 | |
-We should just get it. -Yes. We'll go for it. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:42 | |
Thank you. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:45 | |
Phew! | 0:19:46 | 0:19:47 | |
It's going to make a profit. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:49 | |
It's going to make a profit. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:52 | |
That's it, time's up. But it's not all over. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:55 | |
No, no, not by a long chalk. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:58 | |
Our experts have yet to go out and find that Bonus Buy, the tricky extra item which is revealed later | 0:19:58 | 0:20:04 | |
at auction, when the teams have to decide whether to go with it or not. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:09 | |
Oh ho ho! The twists and turns of Bargain Hunt. I don't know! | 0:20:09 | 0:20:14 | |
Still, before we hand out all that left-over lolly, | 0:20:14 | 0:20:17 | |
let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought, eh? | 0:20:17 | 0:20:20 | |
The Reds were off to a great start when they acquired | 0:20:20 | 0:20:24 | |
the Victorian child's chair for £85. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:26 | |
Four pieces of Carlton ware pottery were purchased for £35. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:33 | |
And finally, Orsa and Roisin forked out £38 for a Victorian vase, | 0:20:34 | 0:20:39 | |
or epergne as it's known in the trade. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:43 | |
-So how much did you spend? -We spent £158. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:46 | |
£158. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:48 | |
-Yes. -And therefore I'd like £142 of left-over lolly. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:51 | |
Surely. Here's £142, plus... | 0:20:51 | 0:20:55 | |
And there's an extra one, just for luck. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:59 | |
A little sweetie for the expert! There you go. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:03 | |
I'll be having that, Tim! | 0:21:03 | 0:21:04 | |
Shall we split this? No, no, that is definitely yours. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:09 | |
You need the energy. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:10 | |
-Go for it. -Thank you. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:12 | |
So you're off to go. Feeling confident? | 0:21:12 | 0:21:15 | |
Well, I've a budget, and you know my opinion on this fair. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:18 | |
I think it's a good hunting ground. Nothing has caught my eye yet, | 0:21:18 | 0:21:22 | |
but I've been focused on helping these ladies. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:24 | |
So you're going to go freestyle now, and very good luck with that, Paul. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:28 | |
But why don't we check out how the Blues are getting on? | 0:21:28 | 0:21:31 | |
The Blues poured £50 into this 1950s' Clarice Cliff milk jug. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:36 | |
Goodness knows why! | 0:21:36 | 0:21:37 | |
They spent £20 of their budget on two misprinted pottery beakers. Hah! | 0:21:37 | 0:21:43 | |
And finally, for this enamel and silver-topped glass atomiser, | 0:21:43 | 0:21:48 | |
they forked out a fragrant £45. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:51 | |
Phew! | 0:21:51 | 0:21:53 | |
-Did you have the most fab time, though? -It was great. -Was it? | 0:21:53 | 0:21:56 | |
It was harder than we thought. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:58 | |
It was. It was much harder. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:00 | |
-Time ran away. -Time ran away. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:03 | |
-Well, talking about running away, poor Catherine's going to have to go off with £185. -And I will. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:09 | |
-That's a nice sum of money for you, isn't it? -Oh, yes, yes. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
I'm going to buy you something very special and I know just the thing. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:16 | |
Do you? There's a threat for you. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:18 | |
Now, while it should be plain sailing for our experts to find | 0:22:18 | 0:22:23 | |
today's Bonus Buys, I'm sailing down to a local shipping museum where I'm promised a whale of a time. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:29 | |
Trinity House Maritime Museum, a stone's throw from the ancient port | 0:22:32 | 0:22:37 | |
of Leith by Edinburgh, | 0:22:37 | 0:22:40 | |
represents 600 years of Scotland's seafaring past. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:45 | |
It's a fascinating place with over 1,000 items | 0:22:45 | 0:22:49 | |
of marvellous maritime memorabilia. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:53 | |
Much of the nautical ephemera and many of the paintings | 0:22:54 | 0:22:58 | |
we see here today relate to the nearby port of Leith, | 0:22:58 | 0:23:01 | |
which has been Edinburgh's official port | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
since 1329, and it was the centre of the Scottish whaling business | 0:23:04 | 0:23:08 | |
in the 17th and 18th centuries. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:11 | |
And here, presiding in the convening room at Trinity House, | 0:23:11 | 0:23:17 | |
hangs a portrait of Peter Wood, | 0:23:17 | 0:23:20 | |
at one time, at the end of the 18th century, | 0:23:20 | 0:23:23 | |
one of the most prosperous whaling-company owners in Leith. | 0:23:23 | 0:23:29 | |
We see him in a portrait painted by Sir Henry Raeburn around 1806, | 0:23:29 | 0:23:35 | |
and, my gosh, doesn't he look prosperous? | 0:23:35 | 0:23:38 | |
At one time, he owned no less than three whaling vessels - | 0:23:38 | 0:23:42 | |
Faith, Hope and Charity. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:44 | |
And if you were a sailor on board, you'd need a pinch of all three | 0:23:44 | 0:23:49 | |
because it was dangerous and dirty work. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:53 | |
But what is Wood grasping in his right hand | 0:23:53 | 0:23:56 | |
in the foreground of the picture? | 0:23:56 | 0:23:58 | |
Looks like rather an exotic walking stick to me. | 0:23:58 | 0:24:02 | |
And it is indeed an exotic walking stick, | 0:24:04 | 0:24:07 | |
a walking stick that's particularly pertinent | 0:24:07 | 0:24:11 | |
to Wood as a whaling-firm owner, | 0:24:11 | 0:24:15 | |
because the walking stick that he's holding looks just like this one. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:20 | |
This is made out of the tusk of an Arctic whale called the narwhal | 0:24:20 | 0:24:26 | |
that has this extraordinary tooth-like growth out of its nose | 0:24:26 | 0:24:31 | |
in a tapering spiral form. | 0:24:31 | 0:24:34 | |
This one's been applied with a nickel ferrule | 0:24:34 | 0:24:37 | |
so that it's comfortable as a walking stick, | 0:24:37 | 0:24:40 | |
and is just like the one in Raeburn's portrait. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:43 | |
But how did the whalers go about capturing their prey | 0:24:43 | 0:24:49 | |
with harpoons like this? | 0:24:49 | 0:24:51 | |
Here we've got a model of one of Peter Wood's whaling vessels. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:58 | |
It's a typical three-masted whaler, | 0:24:58 | 0:25:01 | |
substantially built because, having caught your whale, you'd render it | 0:25:01 | 0:25:07 | |
largely on board, reduce it into oil and then store that in barrels. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:11 | |
Indeed, we've got one or two barrels knocking about on the deck. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:16 | |
But for catching the whale, once the main whaler had spotted | 0:25:16 | 0:25:21 | |
a pod of whales, they'd lower these very slim and fast skiffs | 0:25:21 | 0:25:26 | |
and row like crazy until they got as close as possible | 0:25:26 | 0:25:30 | |
to the whale, and then they'd chuck a harpoon at it - | 0:25:30 | 0:25:34 | |
one of these fellows but with a long wooden shaft on it - | 0:25:34 | 0:25:37 | |
and attach themselves to the whale, | 0:25:37 | 0:25:41 | |
which sometimes would lead to the whale's demise. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:45 | |
The big question today, of course, over at the auction is, | 0:25:46 | 0:25:50 | |
are any of our teams going to be blubbering into their beer? | 0:25:50 | 0:25:54 | |
Well, we've whizzed down the M8 from Edinburgh to Glasgow to be with Anita at Great Western Auctions. | 0:26:10 | 0:26:17 | |
Welcome, Tim. You've come in the right direction. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:20 | |
Oh, well, you said that, Anita. I couldn't possibly think it! | 0:26:20 | 0:26:24 | |
Anyway, Orsa and Roisin today have gone, first of all, with this | 0:26:24 | 0:26:28 | |
rush-seat child's rocking armchair. | 0:26:28 | 0:26:30 | |
-What do you think about that? -I think it's a lovely wee thing. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:34 | |
19th century, it's in very good condition, | 0:26:34 | 0:26:37 | |
so I doubt if a child has ever rocked in this little thing. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:42 | |
It's perhaps something which a doll or a teddy bear would have sat on, | 0:26:42 | 0:26:47 | |
and I think that that's the use that it will go to in the future. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:50 | |
But it's lovely. Look at these wonderful spindles and the nice turning on the supports. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:55 | |
-Lovely wee thing. -Yes, well, I'm glad you're so enamoured with it, Anita. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:59 | |
That's lovely to see. And how much is it going to bring, darling? | 0:26:59 | 0:27:02 | |
-£60-£80. -OK, £85 they paid. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:06 | |
Now, the Carlton ware, something completely different. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:08 | |
This is very bright and breezy, isn't it? | 0:27:08 | 0:27:11 | |
Yes, it's cheery, it's the sort of thing | 0:27:11 | 0:27:14 | |
that would brighten any dark Scottish day. | 0:27:14 | 0:27:17 | |
Yes, and not only Scottish days too, I have to say. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:20 | |
Nice to have four pieces, one with an original little label, look. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:24 | |
I rather like that lot. What's it going to bring, Anita? | 0:27:24 | 0:27:27 | |
I've estimated it £30-£50. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:29 | |
Brilliant. £35 they paid, so that is bright and breezy. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:32 | |
And what about the Jack-in-the-pulpit spill vase? | 0:27:32 | 0:27:36 | |
Quite a nice quality item. I love the base with this horse-like creature | 0:27:36 | 0:27:42 | |
with one leg, one hoof, and it comes up to this Jack-in-the-pulpit | 0:27:42 | 0:27:47 | |
tube or flute. Good condition, I like the colours, I like the base. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:52 | |
I think it's a nice item. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:54 | |
Good. Well, that's a lot of recommendation so, out of all that | 0:27:54 | 0:27:57 | |
-love and affection, what do we get in the way of an estimate? -£60-£80. | 0:27:57 | 0:28:02 | |
-That's very affectionate. £38 they paid. -I think they've done well. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:05 | |
There you go. They probably won't need the Bonus Buy, but let's have a look at it anyway. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:09 | |
Now, you couple of spiders, this is your Bonus Buy moment. | 0:28:09 | 0:28:13 | |
You spent £158, leaving Paul with £142. | 0:28:13 | 0:28:16 | |
Now, by the look of what he's got clutched in his little mitt there, | 0:28:16 | 0:28:20 | |
it's on the small side. But, as they say, girls, size isn't everything, | 0:28:20 | 0:28:24 | |
so let's just get a look. | 0:28:24 | 0:28:26 | |
-Ooh! -What's that? -I like that. -Behold... | 0:28:26 | 0:28:30 | |
-Oh, that's lovely. -How smart is that? -Aye. | 0:28:30 | 0:28:35 | |
-That's nice. -That is a gentleman's vest or lady's purse watch. | 0:28:35 | 0:28:39 | |
Second quarter 20th century, 1930s, but they made them beyond that. | 0:28:39 | 0:28:46 | |
Reptile-skin covered, lovely little draw action | 0:28:46 | 0:28:49 | |
revealing that Deco-inspired case, subsidiary seconds, by Movado. | 0:28:49 | 0:28:54 | |
-What do we think? Beautiful. -Yeah. -Could I sell you this? | 0:28:54 | 0:28:57 | |
-Yes, definitely. -You just want to keep... Ohh! | 0:28:57 | 0:29:00 | |
Handle it, girls, handle it. | 0:29:00 | 0:29:03 | |
You're itching to get your mitts on it, I can tell. | 0:29:03 | 0:29:06 | |
-But would it make a profit? -Shall I give you the nitty-gritty? | 0:29:06 | 0:29:10 | |
-Please do. -Yes. -I paid £100 for this. | 0:29:10 | 0:29:14 | |
-Oh, £100! -I think that's just what the market is looking for today. | 0:29:14 | 0:29:20 | |
-It's just very chic. -Good choice. | 0:29:20 | 0:29:22 | |
Very impressed with that, Paul. | 0:29:22 | 0:29:25 | |
It's a very cunning purchase, Paul. Congratulations. | 0:29:25 | 0:29:27 | |
Let's find out what Anita thinks about it. | 0:29:27 | 0:29:30 | |
Now, Anita, I have to say that this is a particular favourite of mine. | 0:29:30 | 0:29:33 | |
I think incredibly clever of Paul Laidlaw to have found this thing. | 0:29:33 | 0:29:38 | |
Movado is the name to reckon with, isn't it? | 0:29:38 | 0:29:41 | |
-Uh-huh. -And these things, which are called vest watches, | 0:29:41 | 0:29:44 | |
are made specifically for that purpose... | 0:29:44 | 0:29:47 | |
to go in your waistcoat pocket. I think it's charming. | 0:29:47 | 0:29:49 | |
I think it's a marvellous watch. | 0:29:49 | 0:29:51 | |
It's a quality Swiss watch. | 0:29:51 | 0:29:54 | |
It has this sliding action which also winds the watch. | 0:29:54 | 0:29:58 | |
Highly collectible, good quality. | 0:29:58 | 0:30:00 | |
I think that this is a smashing item. | 0:30:00 | 0:30:03 | |
-Yeah, really good. What's your estimate? -Estimate, £80-£120. | 0:30:03 | 0:30:06 | |
Well, Paul paid £100 which is spot in the middle, but I have | 0:30:06 | 0:30:09 | |
-a funny feeling it will do better. We shall see. -You could be right. | 0:30:09 | 0:30:13 | |
Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues. | 0:30:13 | 0:30:16 | |
And their first item is this milk jug, | 0:30:16 | 0:30:19 | |
which looks to me incredibly boring. | 0:30:19 | 0:30:22 | |
Well, it has a magic name on the back stamp. It's Clarice Cliff. | 0:30:22 | 0:30:27 | |
When we look at it, we're not looking at the bright geometric colours of Clarice Cliff. | 0:30:27 | 0:30:32 | |
She actually did these plainer, more simple designs in the late '30s | 0:30:32 | 0:30:38 | |
for tea and dinner ware, and I think I quite like it. | 0:30:38 | 0:30:41 | |
Would you pay £50 for it? | 0:30:41 | 0:30:43 | |
-Well... -50 smackers! | 0:30:43 | 0:30:45 | |
It might be a wee bit dear. | 0:30:45 | 0:30:47 | |
It might be a wee bit dear, but the name may carry it on. | 0:30:47 | 0:30:50 | |
Well, let's hope so. What's your estimate? | 0:30:50 | 0:30:52 | |
-Estimate, £30-£50. -Now, next up are the transfer-printed beakers | 0:30:52 | 0:30:56 | |
which are very interesting for Scotland. | 0:30:56 | 0:30:59 | |
Yes, I think these are absolutely lovely. | 0:30:59 | 0:31:02 | |
Made by Moore and Company which was a north Staffordshire factory. | 0:31:02 | 0:31:06 | |
They were made as souvenirs for the Edinburgh Exhibition in 1886, | 0:31:06 | 0:31:11 | |
but look how they've spelled Edinburgh. | 0:31:11 | 0:31:15 | |
They've anglicised it, | 0:31:15 | 0:31:17 | |
and I think that adds to the interest and it adds to the charm. | 0:31:17 | 0:31:21 | |
Does that mean this pair of beakers are going to make more than £20? | 0:31:21 | 0:31:25 | |
Well, you've got two. One of them's damaged but you've got two there. | 0:31:25 | 0:31:28 | |
-£20-£40. -Yeah, difficult to estimate. | 0:31:28 | 0:31:31 | |
But they should make a profit, which is grand. | 0:31:31 | 0:31:34 | |
And lastly out of their three, we've got this atomiser. | 0:31:34 | 0:31:38 | |
I like scent bottles and this is an item of some quality, | 0:31:38 | 0:31:42 | |
whereas the other two are really just of interest. | 0:31:42 | 0:31:44 | |
We have this wonderful piece of enamelling. | 0:31:44 | 0:31:47 | |
I love that. Nice item, good maker, and I think that it will do well. | 0:31:47 | 0:31:52 | |
Excellent. What's your estimate? | 0:31:52 | 0:31:54 | |
Estimate on that, £60-£80. | 0:31:54 | 0:31:56 | |
Never! £45 is all they paid. | 0:31:56 | 0:31:58 | |
-That was a good buy. -Well, it is a good buy, isn't it? | 0:31:58 | 0:32:01 | |
My view is that the jug's going to drag them back | 0:32:01 | 0:32:04 | |
and they'll need their Bonus Buy, so let's go and have a look at it. | 0:32:04 | 0:32:08 | |
This is your moment for the Bonus Buy. Looking forward to this? | 0:32:08 | 0:32:11 | |
-Yes. -It's exciting, isn't it? Cos Catherine had a lot of money. | 0:32:11 | 0:32:14 | |
-She had £185. -I did. -So, Catherine, show us what you spent the £185 on. | 0:32:14 | 0:32:19 | |
-Are you ready, girls? -Yes. | 0:32:19 | 0:32:22 | |
Chelsea pensioner, solid silver by the maker Aspreys. | 0:32:25 | 0:32:29 | |
What do you think about it, Jo? | 0:32:29 | 0:32:31 | |
It's maybe not our thing but if it's a good maker, | 0:32:31 | 0:32:35 | |
-maybe it'll make us a profit. -A very good maker. I paid £75 for it. | 0:32:35 | 0:32:39 | |
-OK. -And is it weighty? Let's just see. | 0:32:39 | 0:32:42 | |
-It has got a lot of weight to it. -Quite a chunky thing, isn't it? | 0:32:42 | 0:32:45 | |
So that's cast in one piece as opposed to being | 0:32:45 | 0:32:47 | |
embossed or anything, and on that pretty little plaque... | 0:32:47 | 0:32:50 | |
He's in his full glory. | 0:32:50 | 0:32:53 | |
OK, girls. You don't have to pick it now. | 0:32:53 | 0:32:55 | |
You pick it after the sale of your first three items. | 0:32:55 | 0:32:58 | |
Let's find out what Anita thinks of Catherine's pensioner. | 0:32:58 | 0:33:03 | |
There we go, Anita. A nice Chelsea pensioner for you. | 0:33:03 | 0:33:06 | |
He's solid silver, he's well hallmarked, but he's from Aspreys | 0:33:06 | 0:33:10 | |
-and that is a prestigious name, and that's what's going to sell him. -Yes. | 0:33:10 | 0:33:16 | |
Possibly made for some anniversary because it is a later date. | 0:33:16 | 0:33:19 | |
Mmm, it's a wonderful thing. | 0:33:19 | 0:33:21 | |
How much do you think it's worth? | 0:33:21 | 0:33:24 | |
-£60-£80. -Catherine paid £75. Who knows? It might take off. | 0:33:24 | 0:33:28 | |
I'll do my best. | 0:33:28 | 0:33:30 | |
As per normal. Thank you very much, Anita. | 0:33:30 | 0:33:33 | |
Now, how are you feeling, girls? | 0:33:41 | 0:33:44 | |
-Very excited. -Are you very excited? | 0:33:44 | 0:33:46 | |
I mean, you've waited a long time to get to this auction moment. | 0:33:46 | 0:33:50 | |
-Yes. -Are you predicting big profits? -Oh, yes. -Hopefully. -Yeah? | 0:33:50 | 0:33:54 | |
First up, though, is the Victorian child's or doll's rocking armchair and here it comes. | 0:33:54 | 0:34:00 | |
A charming, Victorian, turned fruitwood, | 0:34:00 | 0:34:03 | |
rush-seated, child's rocking chair. | 0:34:03 | 0:34:07 | |
Isn't that so sweet? It's with me at 30. Any advance on 30. | 0:34:07 | 0:34:11 | |
40, 50, 60, 70, 80, I'm out. | 0:34:11 | 0:34:18 | |
80, 90, 100, 110 with Lalla. | 0:34:18 | 0:34:22 | |
Where are we? 120, fresh bidder. | 0:34:22 | 0:34:26 | |
130 on the phone. Any advance on 130? | 0:34:26 | 0:34:30 | |
All done at 130? 130... | 0:34:30 | 0:34:33 | |
That is plus £45. | 0:34:33 | 0:34:35 | |
Now, here comes the Carlton. | 0:34:35 | 0:34:38 | |
We have four pieces of Carlton ware | 0:34:38 | 0:34:41 | |
with a beautiful, cheerful buttercup design. £20? 20 bid. | 0:34:41 | 0:34:47 | |
Any advance on 20? 25, 30, 35. | 0:34:47 | 0:34:52 | |
£35. Any advance on 35? | 0:34:52 | 0:34:57 | |
-£35, wiped its face. -Fair enough. | 0:34:57 | 0:35:01 | |
You're still £45 up. | 0:35:01 | 0:35:04 | |
The Victorian, gilt-metal epergne, | 0:35:04 | 0:35:08 | |
beautifully decorated with these mythical creatures | 0:35:08 | 0:35:12 | |
and the Jack-in-the-pulpit flute. | 0:35:12 | 0:35:14 | |
I can start the bidding at £40. | 0:35:14 | 0:35:19 | |
Any advance on 40? 50, 60 with me. | 0:35:19 | 0:35:23 | |
-Oh, my God! -The bid's with me. 65, 70 with me. | 0:35:23 | 0:35:27 | |
The bid's with me at £70. | 0:35:27 | 0:35:31 | |
Any advance on £70? £70... | 0:35:31 | 0:35:33 | |
Yes! | 0:35:34 | 0:35:36 | |
That would be £32. | 0:35:36 | 0:35:37 | |
That is plus £32, seven... | 0:35:37 | 0:35:40 | |
That's four, seven... £77. Plus 77. | 0:35:40 | 0:35:45 | |
-That's very good. -Great. -Well done, you guys. | 0:35:45 | 0:35:48 | |
-Thank you. -Now you've got a decision. | 0:35:48 | 0:35:51 | |
You've got £77 in the bank which we know could easily be a winning score. | 0:35:51 | 0:35:55 | |
To make a profit on Bargain Hunt is just so good, | 0:35:55 | 0:35:58 | |
but you've got the opportunity of reinvesting in the Movado watch. | 0:35:58 | 0:36:02 | |
-What are you going to do? -I think we should... | 0:36:02 | 0:36:05 | |
I think we should go for it. | 0:36:05 | 0:36:07 | |
We trust you, Paul, and it's a beautiful item, so I think we should... | 0:36:07 | 0:36:11 | |
-I think so. -You're in agreement, then, are you? | 0:36:11 | 0:36:13 | |
We've had such a good time. Yeah, we should just go for it. | 0:36:13 | 0:36:17 | |
-Yes, let's gamble. -You're going to go with it? | 0:36:17 | 0:36:19 | |
Well, our lovely girls are going with the Bonus Buy, and here it comes. Good luck. | 0:36:19 | 0:36:26 | |
188 is this rare Movado Ermeto | 0:36:26 | 0:36:30 | |
chronometer purse watch, | 0:36:30 | 0:36:33 | |
and I will start the bidding at £80. | 0:36:33 | 0:36:36 | |
90, 100, 110, | 0:36:36 | 0:36:39 | |
120, 130, 140, | 0:36:39 | 0:36:43 | |
150, 160, 170, 180, | 0:36:43 | 0:36:50 | |
190, 200, 210, | 0:36:50 | 0:36:54 | |
220, 230, 240, 250. | 0:36:54 | 0:36:59 | |
250 on the floor. | 0:36:59 | 0:37:03 | |
I'm out as well. | 0:37:03 | 0:37:05 | |
250 on the floor. All done at 250? | 0:37:05 | 0:37:09 | |
250... | 0:37:11 | 0:37:13 | |
-That's pretty good. -Thank you very much. -Well done, you! | 0:37:13 | 0:37:17 | |
Well, £250. | 0:37:17 | 0:37:19 | |
This is what we call a Bonus Buy! | 0:37:19 | 0:37:22 | |
Cost you £100, you sold it for 250. | 0:37:22 | 0:37:25 | |
It's £150 worth of profit. | 0:37:25 | 0:37:28 | |
That boy has done good. | 0:37:28 | 0:37:30 | |
Oh, thank you so much. That was brilliant! | 0:37:30 | 0:37:33 | |
Team work, team work. | 0:37:33 | 0:37:34 | |
-You have a profit of £227. -That's brilliant. | 0:37:34 | 0:37:38 | |
£227 profit. And the big thing here is, can you control your emotions? | 0:37:38 | 0:37:43 | |
-Oh, we'll have to. -Because we just must not let the Blues know anything at all, right? | 0:37:43 | 0:37:48 | |
I'm sorry, I can't stop grinning like a Cheshire cat! | 0:37:48 | 0:37:51 | |
-Now, Jo and Avril, do you know how the Reds got on? -No. | 0:37:55 | 0:37:58 | |
-No idea. -No? No idea. Very good. | 0:37:58 | 0:38:01 | |
-How are you feeling about the auction today? Are you feeling confident? -Yeah. -Excited. | 0:38:01 | 0:38:06 | |
First up, then, is your Clarice Cliff milk jug and here it comes. | 0:38:06 | 0:38:10 | |
It's a Clarice Cliff milk jug or cream jug | 0:38:10 | 0:38:14 | |
with that wonderful geometric handle. | 0:38:14 | 0:38:18 | |
Start me at £20. 20 bid. | 0:38:18 | 0:38:20 | |
Any advance on 20 on the Clarice Cliff? | 0:38:20 | 0:38:23 | |
30, 40. | 0:38:23 | 0:38:25 | |
£40. Any advance on 40 on the Clarice? | 0:38:25 | 0:38:29 | |
£40... | 0:38:29 | 0:38:31 | |
Bad luck, girls. That's minus £10. | 0:38:31 | 0:38:34 | |
-Too bad. -But I think you did very well to get the 40. | 0:38:34 | 0:38:36 | |
It's not too bad. | 0:38:36 | 0:38:38 | |
I think she did very well. Now your beakers. | 0:38:38 | 0:38:41 | |
A pair of Moore and Company... | 0:38:41 | 0:38:43 | |
It's north Staffordshire pottery, ladies and gentlemen. | 0:38:43 | 0:38:47 | |
Start me at 20. £20 bid. | 0:38:47 | 0:38:49 | |
Any advance on 20? | 0:38:49 | 0:38:51 | |
Oh, come on! | 0:38:51 | 0:38:52 | |
Any advance on 20 on the Edinburgh beakers? | 0:38:52 | 0:38:55 | |
-Any advance on 20? -I'm surprised. | 0:38:55 | 0:38:58 | |
Any advance on £20? | 0:38:58 | 0:39:00 | |
30. £30. Any advance on 30? | 0:39:00 | 0:39:04 | |
Any advance on £30? All done at £30? | 0:39:04 | 0:39:09 | |
£30... | 0:39:09 | 0:39:11 | |
£30 is brilliant. Look, you've made £10. | 0:39:11 | 0:39:13 | |
You have, at this moment in time, made nothing at all! | 0:39:13 | 0:39:16 | |
No profit and no loss. OK, last item. | 0:39:16 | 0:39:19 | |
Look at the enamel work on this silver-topped glass atomiser. | 0:39:19 | 0:39:25 | |
Start me at £40. Start me at 40. | 0:39:25 | 0:39:27 | |
40 bid. | 0:39:27 | 0:39:30 | |
Any advance on 40? 50. | 0:39:30 | 0:39:32 | |
£50. | 0:39:32 | 0:39:34 | |
With you, sir, at 50. | 0:39:34 | 0:39:35 | |
-You're in profit. -Still cheap. | 0:39:35 | 0:39:38 | |
Still cheap at £50 for the atomiser. | 0:39:38 | 0:39:41 | |
£50... | 0:39:41 | 0:39:43 | |
-Come on, someone bid against him! -Any advance on 50? | 0:39:43 | 0:39:45 | |
Any advance on £50? | 0:39:45 | 0:39:47 | |
With you, sir, at £50. £50... | 0:39:47 | 0:39:50 | |
Yes, you made a fiver! How lovely is that? | 0:39:50 | 0:39:53 | |
You made £5, and overall you are plus £5. | 0:39:53 | 0:39:56 | |
-Well, at least that's a profit. -It's very good, isn't it? | 0:39:56 | 0:40:00 | |
It's a profit, and a profit that you might decide to ring-fence | 0:40:00 | 0:40:04 | |
or risk it by going with the £75 Chelsea pensioner. | 0:40:04 | 0:40:09 | |
Now, this is a tough one, girls, and I need you to think this through quite carefully. | 0:40:09 | 0:40:13 | |
I'm inclined to risk it, just because it's not very much. | 0:40:13 | 0:40:17 | |
We haven't got a huge profit to lose, have we? | 0:40:17 | 0:40:19 | |
I would never buy it myself, ever, but... | 0:40:19 | 0:40:22 | |
-Maybe we should just play the game. -£5 could be a winning score, and it's money in your back pocket. | 0:40:22 | 0:40:27 | |
Yeah, I probably would say no. | 0:40:27 | 0:40:30 | |
-OK. OK, we won't. -It's a no? | 0:40:30 | 0:40:32 | |
-No. -So no Chelsea pensioner, but we're going to sell him, anyway. Here he comes. | 0:40:32 | 0:40:38 | |
And this is a solid silver figure | 0:40:38 | 0:40:42 | |
of a Chelsea pensioner. | 0:40:42 | 0:40:44 | |
Start me at £50. 50. 50 bid. | 0:40:44 | 0:40:47 | |
-60, 70, 80... -We're in profit. | 0:40:47 | 0:40:50 | |
£80. | 0:40:50 | 0:40:52 | |
80. With you, sir, at 80. | 0:40:52 | 0:40:55 | |
90, fresh bidder. For the Aspreys, 90... | 0:40:55 | 0:40:58 | |
Oh, no. Shall we rewind? | 0:40:58 | 0:41:01 | |
..110, 120. | 0:41:01 | 0:41:03 | |
-£120 for the Asprey's figure... -Sorry! -It's fine. | 0:41:03 | 0:41:07 | |
..All done at 120. 120... | 0:41:07 | 0:41:10 | |
£120. So that's plus £45, that would've been. | 0:41:10 | 0:41:17 | |
What a dirty shame! | 0:41:17 | 0:41:18 | |
If only we could scroll back and make the decision again. | 0:41:18 | 0:41:23 | |
-I'm surprised, actually. -Well done, Catherine. -Well done. | 0:41:23 | 0:41:26 | |
-Well done. -Thank you. | 0:41:26 | 0:41:28 | |
Well done. But I tell you what... | 0:41:28 | 0:41:30 | |
we'll reveal all to the Reds in a moment, all right? Thank you. | 0:41:30 | 0:41:34 | |
Well, what excitement. Just goes to show. | 0:41:39 | 0:41:42 | |
To go with the Bonus Buy or not to go with the Bonus Buy - a heck of a lot can hang on it. | 0:41:42 | 0:41:48 | |
And sadly, the runners-up today | 0:41:48 | 0:41:51 | |
-are the Blues. -Aw! | 0:41:51 | 0:41:54 | |
I'm going to give you a £5 note here cos that is the actual score that you have achieved. | 0:41:54 | 0:41:59 | |
But you came so close to taking the Bonus Buy, which would've scored you another 45. | 0:41:59 | 0:42:03 | |
I really do feel I should be giving you 50 cos you were that close. | 0:42:03 | 0:42:07 | |
You deserve to get the 50. But as it was, of course, | 0:42:07 | 0:42:10 | |
these Reds, this canny bunch of Scots, | 0:42:10 | 0:42:14 | |
went with the Bonus Buy and they go home with £227. | 0:42:14 | 0:42:19 | |
Well done! > | 0:42:20 | 0:42:22 | |
Did you hear that? I said £227. | 0:42:22 | 0:42:25 | |
-What was that again? -£227, there you go. -Fantastic. | 0:42:25 | 0:42:30 | |
There's 225, and you get... | 0:42:30 | 0:42:33 | |
another couple coming out of here, look, in 50p's. | 0:42:33 | 0:42:37 | |
We've got so short of money in this programme! | 0:42:37 | 0:42:40 | |
Anyway, there we go. They were £77 up, all right, which wouldn't have been so far ahead of you, | 0:42:40 | 0:42:47 | |
until that man Laidlaw came in with a £150 profit on the Movado watch. | 0:42:47 | 0:42:51 | |
-Oh, well done. -Isn't that something else? | 0:42:51 | 0:42:54 | |
We're all joining in a round of applause. Well done. | 0:42:54 | 0:42:58 | |
-How good does that feel, girls? All right? -Oh, brilliant. -Speechless! | 0:42:58 | 0:43:01 | |
-For a change! -£227. Phenomenal. Anyway, it's been a great show. I hope you've enjoyed yourselves. | 0:43:03 | 0:43:08 | |
We've loved it. Join us soon for some more bargain-hunting, yes? | 0:43:08 | 0:43:12 | |
ALL: Yes! | 0:43:12 | 0:43:14 | |
