0:00:02 > 0:00:04# Happy birthday to you... #
0:00:04 > 0:00:09It's party time on Bargain Hunt this week, as we look back
0:00:09 > 0:00:12over 10 wonderful years, looking at the favourite bits
0:00:12 > 0:00:14and enjoying all that fun and laughter.
0:00:19 > 0:00:20Yeah!
0:00:24 > 0:00:27But that's not all. We're going to pit our experts
0:00:27 > 0:00:31against one another to find out who can really spot a winner.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35I can't wait. Let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Ooh!
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Today, we're in Scotland
0:01:03 > 0:01:04for our celebrations.
0:01:04 > 0:01:09The rules remain the same as on the Bargain Hunt that you know and love,
0:01:09 > 0:01:13except, of course, we have got experts versus experts
0:01:13 > 0:01:16just to spice up the rivalry. What fun!
0:01:16 > 0:01:21And there are plenty of other goodies coming up in the party bags.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Paul takes time to reminisce.
0:01:23 > 0:01:28£70, down to a charitable bid of a fiver. Ouch!
0:01:28 > 0:01:31There you go. Bargain Hunt gold.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35But back at the fair, he sees red, when he lets teammate, David take control.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39You're not going to introduce more chance to this lottery, are you?
0:01:39 > 0:01:42We'll get to find out what Mark Stacey does in his spare time.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45'I used to be the world's worst cook.'
0:01:45 > 0:01:49You know, if I did baked beans on toast, I'd struggle to get the beans out of the toaster!
0:01:49 > 0:01:53How he handles colleagues in a professional situation.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55The bellows look as if they're in good condition.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56They don't excite me, Mark.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58What would excite you, Catherine?
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- Oh, you just being quiet for five minutes.- Oh!
0:02:01 > 0:02:04'And we dip into the Bargain Hunt archives.'
0:02:06 > 0:02:10But before all that, let's go and meet our teams.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12For the Red team today, we have as headstrong
0:02:12 > 0:02:16a pair of experts as you're likely to find on Bargain Hunt, Paul Laidlaw and David Harper.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- Welcome, chaps.- Hello, Tim.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22And for the Blues, we've got a couple who are sure to come up fighting,
0:02:22 > 0:02:24it's Catherine Southon and Mark Stacey.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27They love each other really. Good.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- Now, you two, this is exciting, isn't it?- It's brilliant, isn't it?
0:02:30 > 0:02:32- Expert Bargain Hunt!- I know.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35This is your opportunity to get your own back, which is great.
0:02:35 > 0:02:41Paul, you started out on Bargain Hunt as an auctioneer and then, you developed into an expert,
0:02:41 > 0:02:46not that you weren't an expert to start off with! But do you remember your first time as an auctioneer?
0:02:46 > 0:02:51I do indeed. Really, hugely exciting, but I've got to say,
0:02:51 > 0:02:54relatively easy to put the boot in to the experts.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Yeah, we noticed that!
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Before I became one of them!
0:02:58 > 0:03:04Because we stood in your saleroom in Carlisle, right, and you examined these items.
0:03:04 > 0:03:09I don't think you were particularly rude, you just gave an honest opinion.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12He was rude. Remember that head I brought in, that concrete head?
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- Yeah, I do remember that.- You and him were both very rude about that.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Well, frankly, my dear...
0:03:17 > 0:03:20So, opinions come cheap, but results are what count.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22David, you've been on the programme, how long?
0:03:22 > 0:03:26- Three and a half years, Tim. - Gosh, you're hardly out of shorts.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- I know!- You've got your long trousers on at last!
0:03:29 > 0:03:33Are you confident that you and Paul can lash up the opposition?
0:03:33 > 0:03:35I think I've got a good teammate here.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38I mean, far better, I think, than Dr Who over there, anyway.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41What, you mean our gentlemen in the blue suit, here?
0:03:41 > 0:03:44This is my Bargain Hunt birthday suit.
0:03:44 > 0:03:49Well, I'm going to ask you, then, about the suit, because it's a brilliantly colourful suit, that.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51I thought "I'm the Blue team" so I'd wear blue
0:03:51 > 0:03:57- and I'm very proud to tell you, Tim, I've had this suit for 13 years. - Have you?
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- And I can still get into it. I'm breathing a lot. - That's a miracle, isn't it?
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Those corsets that they wind up like that are just marvellous.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07- I know what the Victorians feel like! - Mark, have you learned anything
0:04:07 > 0:04:11- in all the years that you've been advising people on the show?- Absolutely not, no.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14I've loved every minute, eight wonderful years.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16How many years have you worked on Bargain Hunt?
0:04:16 > 0:04:20About three and a half years, but it does feel like a lifetime, Tim.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22It's lovely though, isn't it, really?
0:04:22 > 0:04:26- Are there any moments that stick out in your memory, Catherine?- Oh, I' have so many, Tim.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Let me think. Probably one of the celebrity ones, that was good fun,
0:04:29 > 0:04:32working with Nicki Chapman and Vanessa Feltz, I enjoyed that.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35We made a profit on absolutely everything, which is a miracle for me.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- It's all very difficult and the boot today is on the other foot.- I know, I know.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44Because you chaps have to perform. So, standby, that's all I can say.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Now, this is your traditional money moment.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51- Thank you.- There's your £300. - Thank you, Tim.- You've seen this a million times before.
0:04:51 > 0:04:58You know the rules, there are no experts waiting for you, so off you go and very, very, very good luck.
0:04:58 > 0:05:06So will it be our expert Reds or our expertly turned out Blues who are victorious today?
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Well, they'd better be careful what they buy
0:05:08 > 0:05:12because any profits that they do make will be donated to charity.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16Today's programme is sure to be a cracker.
0:05:18 > 0:05:24Now, while they're off shopping, let's take the opportunity to have a look back over the last decade.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Did you know that Bargain Hunt is shown in over 50 countries all around the world?
0:05:28 > 0:05:33We've filmed at fairs and auctions at home and abroad
0:05:33 > 0:05:39and there have always been two aims, to entertain you, our loyal viewers, and, of course, to find a bargain!
0:05:41 > 0:05:46Don't we look good? You're jealous of these scarves, aren't you? Yeah!
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- It is for sale, yeah!- It is indeed.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52David, you're supposed to be buying, not selling.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Look at that dog, Catherine.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57What is it about you and dogs? Ooh, look at those glass eyes!
0:05:57 > 0:05:59They are real glass eyes, aren't they?
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Oh, I love it. And I think...
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Are they real glass eyes? They look like it.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Aah!
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Oh, he's lovely, Catherine, isn't he?
0:06:10 > 0:06:15Let's hope there aren't any more scary surprises in store for the Blue team.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20That's quite big, isn't it, that big vase there?
0:06:20 > 0:06:24- Art Nouveau.- Doulton?- No, I think it's Langley Lovett, actually?
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- How much is it?- I should think that's quite expensive.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- 130.- 130.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33Shall we think about that? It's a lovely big lump.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- Is it in superb condition? - Yes, it is and it's got...
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Careful, it will be heavy, Catherine.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39It is quite striking, isn't it?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Well, it's a lovely design.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- It's not Doulton. - But it's got that Doulton look...
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- It has.- ..hasn't it, about it? I think it's an impressive piece.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48It's quite impressive.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Shall we've a think? Dare we say 100?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54I was going to say, shall we say 100?
0:06:54 > 0:06:55You couldn't do it for 100, could you?
0:06:55 > 0:06:58This is our birthday special, you see?
0:06:58 > 0:07:01This is our 10th anniversary. Not together!
0:07:01 > 0:07:04No, no, we've been together many years longer than that.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06# Sisters... #
0:07:06 > 0:07:09My goodness, you break my heart.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- I know. - Are we breaking your heart? Sorry.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- Why not?- Oh, darling, Come on, I will give you a kiss.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18That's lovely. Thank you very much.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20You're welcome. And I hope you beat the other team.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24- I'm sure it'll be lovely, thank you so much.- That's very quick.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28We've done about... That's about one minute and one item!
0:07:28 > 0:07:30That's unheard of. Have we done the right thing?
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Yes.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Fret not, Catherine, you're off to a cracking start,
0:07:36 > 0:07:40having spent £100 on an Art Nouveau vase in the first few minutes.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Will the Red team be just as swift off the mark?
0:07:44 > 0:07:45Tell us about your glass.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Murano glass.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- Is it Murano, yeah? - It is Murano glass.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53You see, Murano's good stuff, isn't it? It's arty. Any markings on this one?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55They weren't always markings on the Murano glass.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00- Sometimes you get the nice stickers, that says Murano?- God bless them!
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- I mean...- God bless them.- That's...
0:08:02 > 0:08:03GLASS CLINKS
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- Lovely, isn't it? - What would be the trade on that one?
0:08:06 > 0:08:09I could do that one for...40.
0:08:09 > 0:08:1140.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13It's...
0:08:13 > 0:08:15- It's not for you, is it? - Do you not love it?
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Look at his face, does he look excited?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- No.- I could do a bit on it for you.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Could you? OK, well, let's have a look.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- Cheers.- What about that Murano? We're looking at profit, if we buy for 20 quid.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- Yeah.- It's going to make profit. - For 20 quid, you double your money.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31I'm cool with that. On that basis it does it for me.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Well, do you want me to bid her 20 quid?
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Yeah. Say...
0:08:36 > 0:08:40- Blame it all on me.- Can I do that? - Blame it all on me. Just say, "He hates it, but..."
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Oh, right. That's good.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- I could work with that. - Go for it on that basis.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48So I would look nice and you would look horrible. All right!
0:08:48 > 0:08:52David heads off to work a bit of that Harper magic.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56Meanwhile, Catherine's expert eye has spotted something special.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- Have a little look at these. - Oh, that's lovely.
0:08:58 > 0:09:04- See they're French Prisoner Of War, circa 1820 and look at this, I just love the staining here.- I love that.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08All the different little colours. And it's complete with its little die.
0:09:08 > 0:09:13Can you imagine these people working under the conditions, prisoners of war, and they're working...
0:09:13 > 0:09:16And they literally used bones and things to make...
0:09:16 > 0:09:20- Absolutely.- And they swapped it for things like soap and their little luxuries, didn't they?
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- You really are touching a piece of history there.- You are.
0:09:23 > 0:09:251820s, Napoleonic, Prisoner Of War.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- These are so hard to find. - You do not see...
0:09:28 > 0:09:31These used to come... You used to get them quite often, but I don't...
0:09:31 > 0:09:33You hardly see them now.
0:09:33 > 0:09:38Well, if we buy that, we've already spent 100, that's 280, we'll only have £20 left.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40That's a bit...
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- A bit risky. - Let's ask him to keep it?
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Excuse me, sir, would you mind...?
0:09:45 > 0:09:49- Would you come down slightly on 180?- 180's the very best. 180's a good price, believe me.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Well, let's keep it...
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- Yes.- Think about it.- If the gentleman will keep it for us...
0:09:54 > 0:09:59- You'll keep it, yeah?- And we'll come back and let you know as soon as we can.- Sure, yeah, no bother.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Looks like there's no budging on the price for the dominoes.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Let's hope Harper's having better luck.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07What's the absolute death trade?
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- Well, if it's going to...- 15? - No, don't be ridiculous!
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- No?- Absolutely not.- Really?
0:10:13 > 0:10:15- Really.- It's going to a good home.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17I can't. Can't. 25.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Where's... Where's my pal?
0:10:19 > 0:10:22What if we spun a coin, 20 or 25?
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- OK.- Yeah, shall we do that? - OK, let's do that.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29You're not going to introduce more chance to this lottery, are you?
0:10:29 > 0:10:31I'm going to have to, because we've come to a deadlock.
0:10:31 > 0:10:3420 or 25. Are you happy?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36On a coin? It's a bit of fun, come on in.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Come on in and enjoy the spectacle. Are you ready?
0:10:39 > 0:10:41- Ready for anything. - OK. What was your name?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43- Jackie.- Jackie, you call, right?
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Right, heads... Heads, it's 25, tails it's 20.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- Tails us, heads you.- Yeah.- Ready?
0:10:48 > 0:10:49Right, go.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- Heads!- It's an omen!
0:10:53 > 0:10:59- 25. Are we going to... Thank you, thank you, thank you. - You're welcome, you're welcome.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01- Well, it's one in the bag. - Thanks, that was a hoot.
0:11:01 > 0:11:07David takes a gamble on the glass bowl and the Reds have their first item of the day.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Paul Laidlaw's one of the newer kids on Bargain Hunt.
0:11:10 > 0:11:15As it's our 10th birthday, let's take a look at what he gets up to at home.
0:11:17 > 0:11:23'My life, cheesy, though this is bound to sound, it's stating the obvious, revolves round my family.'
0:11:23 > 0:11:28Maureen and I've a gorgeous daughter, Aurora, who is seven,
0:11:28 > 0:11:32and we have two twin boys, Francis and James, who are two and a half.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36'Everything revolves round us as a wee family. It's the best thing in the world.'
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Come on, you!
0:11:39 > 0:11:41'I was terrified of having twins.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45'I just had visions of The Shining, you know? Twins, not for me, really.'
0:11:45 > 0:11:48What a blessing. It is the best thing in the world.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50People struggle to differentiate them, and I've just got
0:11:50 > 0:11:54to the stage, two years later, where I can differentiate them myself.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58As if telling the little Laidlaws apart wasn't challenge enough
0:11:58 > 0:12:02for Paul, he's also spent the last two and a half years
0:12:02 > 0:12:05pitting his wits against the clock on Bargain Hunt.
0:12:05 > 0:12:06- May I?- Yes, of course.
0:12:06 > 0:12:11I think you have spotted something rather sexy indeed.
0:12:11 > 0:12:17His first ever show coincided with the birth of the twins and wasn't at first all he had hoped.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20I hated the experience. I got asked halfway through, "How's it going?"
0:12:20 > 0:12:22I said, "I don't mind telling you, I hate this."
0:12:22 > 0:12:24- We're in this for a profit.- Yeah.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- Who's going to do the work? Some haggling?- I will. Oh, go on.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31I hated it. But, see driving home, the best thing in the world.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33You know, "I've just done that, can you believe it?
0:12:33 > 0:12:36"have just been on Bargain Hunt!"
0:12:36 > 0:12:4075!
0:12:40 > 0:12:41'Man, there's a rollercoaster'
0:12:41 > 0:12:45and driving home to the hospital to see my three-day-old twins.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47There's a weekend for you!
0:12:47 > 0:12:49HE LAUGHS
0:12:49 > 0:12:55And when he's not being a family man, Paul spends time on his lifelong obsession.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Come on, Paul, confess all.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00'I do have the collector gene,'
0:13:00 > 0:13:02I don't mind telling you. I've always collected.
0:13:02 > 0:13:07It was shells when I was a boy and then it was bottles, and so on.
0:13:07 > 0:13:12Now my passion is for arms and armour, I'm afraid.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14'Boy's toys!
0:13:14 > 0:13:18'And I have one piece from the very late 15th century,
0:13:18 > 0:13:21'and then the 16th and 17th century up to the time of the Civil Wars.'
0:13:21 > 0:13:25So, there you go, my weakness!
0:13:25 > 0:13:31Your weakness is Bargain Hunt's strength, Paul, and you're not our only antiques geek.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35Mark Stacey is a dealer and auctioneer turned TV expert too.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38I was reading the Antiques Trade Gazette one day
0:13:38 > 0:13:43and there was an advert in the back, by the BBC, asking for new experts
0:13:43 > 0:13:48and I duly sent off my CV with a photograph and I went down all the way from Chichester on the train.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52'I was disappointed, actually, because, all this build up'
0:13:52 > 0:13:55and I got to the auction room, I answered basic questions on antiques,
0:13:55 > 0:13:57and they said, "We'll let you know."
0:13:57 > 0:14:00And I was expecting fanfares to say we've found our new star!
0:14:00 > 0:14:04And the rest, as they say, is antiques history!
0:14:04 > 0:14:11Mark's bargain hunting talents might have made TV history, but how does he cope with the trappings of fame?
0:14:11 > 0:14:14I love going to auctions. I mean, I can't...
0:14:14 > 0:14:18Sometimes, I put a hat on and dark glasses, but people still recognise who I am.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21And that's not the only thing that's changed.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24The last eight years have been really momentous for me.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Not only, of course, the fantastic experience of being on television
0:14:27 > 0:14:32and being part of the successful Bargain Hunt team, but around about the time that I started,
0:14:32 > 0:14:38I met a new partner, Santiago, who comes from Spain, Pamplona, where they run the bulls every year.
0:14:38 > 0:14:43Well, it might not be the Costa Del Sol, but Mark
0:14:43 > 0:14:49and Santiago have lived, for the past two years, in Brighton on the south coast.
0:14:49 > 0:14:54We love entertaining. We love cooking and I've learnt a lot on the Spanish way of cooking.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57'I mean, I used to be the world's worst cook.'
0:14:57 > 0:15:01You know, if I did baked beans on toast I'd struggle to get the beans out of the toaster!
0:15:01 > 0:15:05But now, if people turn up unexpectedly, I can open the fridge and rustle up something.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09I can't guarantee it's tasty, mind you, but I'll rustle it up.
0:15:09 > 0:15:14Sounds delightful, Mark. I might pop round for a Martini myself.
0:15:17 > 0:15:23Let's get back to today's Bargain Hunt battle now and Paul's been thinking about the opposition.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27I'm sure they're having a hoot. Mark's a riot.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31I bet you Catherine is just laughing herself senseless.
0:15:31 > 0:15:32I bet you they're having a ball.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36Well, I wouldn't call it a ball, exactly.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40- Don't start moaning at me, Mark. - I AM moaning at you, Catherine.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42The bellows look as if they're in good condition.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44They don't excite me, Mark.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49- Hate it.- You don't like it? - No, I don't like that.
0:15:49 > 0:15:50What would excite you, Catherine?
0:15:50 > 0:15:54- Oh, you just being quiet for five minutes.- Oh!
0:15:54 > 0:15:58Oh! By contrast, all appears very civil in the Red camp.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00- He's nice.- He is rather, isn't he?
0:16:00 > 0:16:03And that's tickety-boo. That's got a decent visage there.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05- Frenchman.- Yeah. Young officer.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Great moustache.
0:16:07 > 0:16:08HE LAUGHS
0:16:08 > 0:16:10No pun intended, what's the death on this soldier?
0:16:10 > 0:16:1365. It's got to be 65.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17My problem is, we like it, but it's old-fashioned, isn't it?
0:16:17 > 0:16:21And that's the worst thing you can say about a decorator's piece.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25- It's got a niche following. - I'm sorry, I disagree with you. - Oh!- Well, that's cool.
0:16:25 > 0:16:26I mean, would 40 get it?
0:16:26 > 0:16:29No, it can't be 40. I can't do it.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- Really?- Really.- Are we miles away? - Yes.- How many miles?
0:16:32 > 0:16:3525 miles away.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Drawing a line in the sand there.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41- Help us a wee bit.- 60.- 50.
0:16:41 > 0:16:42Take sympathy on them.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44They need to make money. Give him 50 quid.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46- 50 quid?- 50 quid.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48- Yes?- Thank you, sir.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Well done. Well done. Thank you very much.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Harry, you're always giving my stuff away.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54- Thank you both. - It's been nice seeing you.
0:16:54 > 0:17:00Before they upset anyone else, Paul and David move on, the proud owners of a bronzed figure.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03What do you think the other team are doing?
0:17:03 > 0:17:04- I think...- They're probably done.
0:17:04 > 0:17:09They're probably done, having a cup of tea and they've probably just spent about £30.
0:17:09 > 0:17:10What, that much?
0:17:10 > 0:17:15Not quite, Catherine, but you're not far off the truth and don't they look pleased with themselves?
0:17:15 > 0:17:18We're in the zone, are we not, Mr Harper? We're in the zone!
0:17:18 > 0:17:2015 minutes, two items done.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23We can go home early today, I reckon.
0:17:23 > 0:17:29- Looking good, looking good. This one's in the bag.- Remember, lads, pride comes before a fall.
0:17:29 > 0:17:36Sometimes, my eye gets taken by an object about which there is an awful lot more to learn.
0:17:36 > 0:17:42Let's have a look at a find that I found at a fair in Oswestry.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46I found the most extraordinary little bit of memorabilia.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48A piece of waxed paper,
0:17:48 > 0:17:55it's been inscribed "May 25th '67", for 1867.
0:17:55 > 0:18:01And it says, in pen and ink, "To dear Mrs Thorneycroft,
0:18:01 > 0:18:08"fervently wishing you many happy returns of the day".
0:18:08 > 0:18:13And it's signed JD, and underneath that, it says Digger,
0:18:13 > 0:18:18and underneath that, it says Emu Creek.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20The digger would have been a miner.
0:18:20 > 0:18:28That was the term that was used for those prospectors who left Europe in vast numbers, heading for Australia,
0:18:28 > 0:18:32in the hope that they would find some gold and riches.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Let's undo the little parcel, shall we, and see what's inside?
0:18:36 > 0:18:40Once upon a time, it was sealed with red sealing wax
0:18:40 > 0:18:44because JD didn't want anybody to open up this little parcel
0:18:44 > 0:18:51that he so fervently wanted to get to Mrs Thorneycroft.
0:18:51 > 0:18:59And inside that is another wee piece of paper and if I carefully unfold,
0:18:59 > 0:19:04it reveals four little pieces of gold.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07This is prospector's gold.
0:19:07 > 0:19:14You can imagine the scene on Emu Creek, JD and his mates are panning with those big pans
0:19:14 > 0:19:19in the muddy water, looking for alluvial gold
0:19:19 > 0:19:22and he found a bit and he sent it back to Mrs Thorneycroft.
0:19:22 > 0:19:28I suspect this is quite a rare survival and likely to be worth quite a lot of money.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32What does the dealer here, on the Welsh borders, want for it?
0:19:32 > 0:19:35£125. Is that cheap?
0:19:35 > 0:19:38I don't know. We'll have to ask one of our cousins down under.
0:19:40 > 0:19:45Which is exactly what I did. You'll never guess who bought those nuggets.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47It was the Canberra National Museum.
0:19:47 > 0:19:55So those little bits of gold, found by moi in Oswestry, will now be in a national collection.
0:19:55 > 0:20:00Today, we're hoping Edinburgh will prove something of a goldmine. Now, how are the teams doing?
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Is it straight?
0:20:02 > 0:20:04- It's low. - What's that got to do with it?
0:20:04 > 0:20:07It needs to be dead straight. You can't have it bowed.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09It's got to be the right height. That's quite low.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- This is the right height for me. - Yeah, but you're short.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16Oh, Catherine's getting personal again and I sense dissension in the Blue ranks.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20The Reds, by contrast, are going about their task with military precision.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24- What are you looking at? - I'm just scanning.
0:20:24 > 0:20:30But on the other side of the hall, Mark might have spotted the Blues' second buy of the day.
0:20:30 > 0:20:31Oh, that's nice. It's a pen.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34It's a pen, yes.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36- That's nice though.- It's a whippet.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40Oh, has got a little... Is its little ear broken off or is it just bent back?
0:20:40 > 0:20:45I think it... No, because whippets are very nervous, aren't they, so they...
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Oh, you know your dogs. I like that.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49- I think that's sweet.- I like that.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Oh, he's got little glass eyes, you know?
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- I wonder why it's got this little bit on, though.- What?
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- Here, the little... - Well, that's his collar.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01- Oh, I see.- That's meant to be his little collar, dear, with a little bell on it.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03I'm not into dogs.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05It's a bit low down though. It should be a bit further up.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Whippets have got long necks, Catherine.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12- I don't know my dogs. - Then, keep quiet on it.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13I'll keep quiet. But I do like it.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- I think it's rather sweet. - Is it walnut?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18- It's fruit wood, yes. - What would you do that for?
0:21:18 > 0:21:20How much has it got on it?
0:21:20 > 0:21:23- 23.- No, it hasn't!
0:21:23 > 0:21:25We're not telling you. 86.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- No, you're right, it's 85.- 86.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32OK, 75, but that is it.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36- That's a lot of money. And then we wouldn't be able to get the POW. - No, we wouldn't.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Could you not come down a little bit more on that?
0:21:39 > 0:21:4070, but honestly, that's it.
0:21:40 > 0:21:4570. We should use another 10 minutes looking and then we can make a final decision.
0:21:45 > 0:21:51OK, but if we went for that at £70, so that leaves us with 230. 130 rather.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Which we'll find something for.
0:21:53 > 0:21:58- Thank you so much.- You're welcome. - With a bit of messing and a lot of bickering,
0:21:58 > 0:22:03Mark and Catherine get the pen down to £70, but leave it behind for now.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05So, any concerns, Blue team?
0:22:05 > 0:22:10Well, look, Catherine, we've had 25 minutes, so we've got 35 minutes left.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14- We've bought one item, we're not doing terribly well. - We're not doing very well.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18Come on, Mark, don't be downhearted, it's our 10th birthday celebrations!
0:22:18 > 0:22:22Now, do you remember one of your favourite teams?
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Two lovely students.
0:22:26 > 0:22:32One of them just, I mean, it was a freezing cold day and he just wore shorts and flip-flops.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34They wanted desperately to find a musical instrument,
0:22:34 > 0:22:38at least one of them did, and we found this violin and it looked very nice, it was in its case.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41But how much is it? That's quite a big gamble.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43190. It's quite a big gamble.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46We've got a lot of money left, but it's still quite a big gamble.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50Yeah. It's quite a lot for what potentially could be a bit of junk.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Yeah. If we can just get it down a bit, then, who knows?
0:22:53 > 0:22:57The dealer was very fair and reduced it to 150 and I just said to them,
0:22:57 > 0:22:59"This is either going to fly or it's not."
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Now, the violin.
0:23:01 > 0:23:08A very fine violin and two bows in a case. I shall start this lot at £60.
0:23:08 > 0:23:13And of course, you know, we got it to auction and it just flew.
0:23:13 > 0:23:14520!
0:23:16 > 0:23:18540. 560. 580.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22I'll take £600.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Phone's out. We are selling.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- Sold.- Yes!
0:23:27 > 0:23:30We were delighted and I didn't even get a drink out of it!
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Look, it's all about the contestants.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38It's absolutely all about those guys. Is their call.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42'One just...off like a hare, following her nose,'
0:23:42 > 0:23:48found this hideous pair of late Dresden-type candelabra,
0:23:48 > 0:23:53floral-encrusted porcelain, but cheesy beyond belief.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55I can't stand the sight of them.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59- Really, what don't you like about them?- Just nasty, awful.
0:23:59 > 0:24:05I think the passionate punter, who was having these at all cost,
0:24:05 > 0:24:07didn't like me being so critical.
0:24:07 > 0:24:12You absolutely wouldn't do 75 because he's not going to let us take them.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13- Go on.- 75.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17- Thank you very much indeed. - It was just awful, what can I say?
0:24:17 > 0:24:21But, look, you see, at auction, you just don't know.
0:24:21 > 0:24:27- £8? £5?- £5!- Someone bid, I need to get home tonight!
0:24:27 > 0:24:30No takers anywhere for £5?
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Thank you, sir. God bless you.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Five, I'm bid. Don't let him leave the room.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Ouch!
0:24:36 > 0:24:38There you go, Bargain Hunt gold.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43And that's why you should always listen to your expert.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Back to today's fair, there's just 10 minutes left.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50That's ticking boxes for me.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Something that cries out Scottish, doesn't it?
0:24:52 > 0:24:56Polished hard stones set in silver and bright-cut that silver, as well.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59I mean, it's clean.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00Is that not a wearable piece?
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Dead right, it is. It's very funky.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04- It's very now, I think.- Yeah.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06It could be very trendy and very stylish.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10- But could it be very cheap, that's the big question?- There's not a lot of room on that one.
0:25:10 > 0:25:11I've priced that one quite close.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15- I think I've got it marked at 98, yeah?- You've got 95.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17- 95 on it.- 95.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21- I could do it for 85. - If we can get that, and don't leap across the table at me,
0:25:21 > 0:25:25if we can get that at 40 or 50 squids, we're in the money.
0:25:25 > 0:25:2760 is the death.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30- I think I paid that on it.- OK. Well, we're just too far away on price.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Now, what about the WMF?
0:25:32 > 0:25:36I mean, could that be trade, substantially less than that?
0:25:36 > 0:25:38There is a bit of room on that,
0:25:38 > 0:25:40but not that much room.
0:25:40 > 0:25:41How much have I got on it?
0:25:41 > 0:25:47- 225.- Trade? Trade, uh...? - Nice stamp on it.
0:25:47 > 0:25:52Trade, I could go 150. It's well-marked. It's a nice piece.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Yes, it's got a bit of damage and repair there. What.
0:25:54 > 0:25:59- Yeah, it has a bit of damage. - This stuff sells because it's sexiness for me.- Yeah.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04- You don't think she's sexy, though? - It's not doing it for me. - She's doing for me!
0:26:04 > 0:26:09While Paul and David take a moment to debate their taste in women,
0:26:09 > 0:26:13the Blue team are doing a great job of losing their way completely.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Hold on, have we been down this one? Is this where we bought the...
0:26:16 > 0:26:21- No, it's that side we bought the lump, wasn't it? Yes.- Which one...
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- No, we haven't been down here. - We haven't been down this one.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28- Bossy!- Well, it's just I don't want to lose time, Catherine, waiting.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30No, I know, I know. Just calm down.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33You haven't done up there. Do you want to go there and have a look first?
0:26:33 > 0:26:37- Yeah, let's go round here and then... - Round a bit further.- Yeah.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Come on, let's run now. Panic stations!
0:26:40 > 0:26:45Meanwhile, the boys are having trouble focusing on the matter in hand too.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49If she was a foxier lady, it would swing it.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51I am THAT serious about...
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Foxy ladies and swinging?
0:26:53 > 0:26:57What are you talking about? We're not on a... We're on a different show here, Paul.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59I've got my car keys!
0:27:01 > 0:27:06- OK.- Shall we just have a little catch up? We've got, literally...
0:27:06 > 0:27:09- We'll be back in a minute.- Two ticks. - We've got four minutes.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12We're not hoofing it now. It's going to have to be one of them, isn't it?
0:27:12 > 0:27:16100 quid for the WMF, or...
0:27:16 > 0:27:2140 quid, 45 quid for the hardstone bracelet.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25- I think profit-wise, the bracelet's probably got more of a chance.- Yeah.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29The Reds are looking cucumber-cool, even with just minutes to go.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33The Blues, on the other hand, are looking decidedly hot and bothered.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36So what are we... Listen, come on, let's be serious a minute.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39I want to get the dog because I like the dog.
0:27:39 > 0:27:40And you're happy with it at 70?
0:27:40 > 0:27:44- I really like those POW dominoes. - Well, we can't have both, can we?
0:27:44 > 0:27:46You think there's no way we could push him down?
0:27:46 > 0:27:48He won't go to 130, Catherine.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Oh, I can't believe this has just all gone horribly wrong.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55Yeah, it sure has, Catherine, and with just two minutes left, it really is time to panic.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Mark? Where's he gone?
0:27:59 > 0:28:03Look at that. This wonderful ornamental letter opener from Japan.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09- Lovely quality. - No, I don't like that, Mark. - But it's quality, Catherine.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Why is that great quality? Feel it.
0:28:12 > 0:28:17Catherine, look at the detailing of that bronze and the gilt work and all that lovely chasing.
0:28:17 > 0:28:22It's Japanese, late 19th century and I think the chap is willing to negotiate a bit.
0:28:22 > 0:28:23Shall I see if I can get it...?
0:28:23 > 0:28:26If I can get it for less than 100, we'll go with this. OK.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28- What about that? - All right. On your head be it.
0:28:28 > 0:28:34You're a brave man, Mark. Meanwhile, the Red team have finally moved on from the Art Nouveau woman
0:28:34 > 0:28:37and have set their sights on the 1950s bracelet.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40- 40 on the '50s bracelet.- 50 is the base on that, it really is.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42- Let's spin a coin.- No, no!
0:28:42 > 0:28:44Let's spin a coin.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46I love spinning... Come on.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49- Go for it.- 45, 50 in an old box.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51- No. You can get a box that's... - In a box.- Yeah.
0:28:51 > 0:28:52Do you want to call? You call.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55- Yeah.- Ready?- Yeah.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57- Heads.- Not again!
0:28:57 > 0:28:59I can't believe it.
0:28:59 > 0:29:0250, thanks a lot, mate.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06David loses the toss again, but the Reds win the race
0:29:06 > 0:29:08because they're all done and dusted,
0:29:08 > 0:29:13which is more than can be said for those Blues, who still have only one item.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15- What's the deal? - I've failed you, Catherine.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18I could only get it for 100, but I think we've got to go with it.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20- Look at the object. - Have you bought it?
0:29:20 > 0:29:23I've said yes. Look at it, it's Meiji period.
0:29:23 > 0:29:29It's 1870, 1880, and, you know, look at those lovely scrolls and even gilded underneath.
0:29:29 > 0:29:30That's a sign of quality, Catherine.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33The more I look at it, the more I like it. You did the right thing.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35- Thank you.- No, you did.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37If it goes horribly wrong, on your head be it.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39- You'll cut my head off.- I will.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42I'm not so sure she's joking, Mark!
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Dog pen, dog pen, dog pen!
0:29:44 > 0:29:46- Where's the dog pen? - Where is it? Woof, woof!
0:29:46 > 0:29:51With just 15 seconds to go, let's hope the pen is still there.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54- I hope she's kept it for us. - I hope she's kept it for us.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58Where is she? It's this gentleman, as well.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01Yes. You kept our pen, didn't you?
0:30:01 > 0:30:04- Thank God!- I've never been so pleased to see a dog!
0:30:04 > 0:30:07Woof woof.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11Time's up, teams. What a finish, and by the skin of their teeth!
0:30:12 > 0:30:16Now, all you regulars know about the bonus buy.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20That's the secret item that's bought by the experts with the leftover lolly
0:30:20 > 0:30:23that pitches up later at the auction.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26There, the teams decide whether to gamble or not,
0:30:26 > 0:30:30because, if it makes a profit, that's great, but if it doesn't make a profit,
0:30:30 > 0:30:31it can't just wipe them out.
0:30:31 > 0:30:39But as we have no experts, there's only one person left to do the job and that's moi.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43Each day this week, I'm going to go out and find that bonus buy,
0:30:43 > 0:30:46but instead of using the leftover lolly,
0:30:46 > 0:30:51I've been allowed £100 to spend on each team.
0:30:51 > 0:30:56I'm feeling the pressure, so let's see if the Reds will actually need my bonus buy.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00They took a gamble on a Murano glass bowl for £25.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03Just 10 minutes later, they were on the attack again
0:31:03 > 0:31:06and battled hard for a bronze statue of a soldier.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10And after much idle discussion on the virtues of the female form,
0:31:10 > 0:31:13the boys plumped for a 1950s bracelet.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16The Blues didn't give themselves, or each other, an easy time,
0:31:16 > 0:31:20but they did bag a Langley vase in the first few minutes.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22Ignoring Catherine's protests,
0:31:22 > 0:31:26Mark went on to seal the deal on a Japanese letter opener.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Then, with time snapping at their heels,
0:31:28 > 0:31:31the Blues raced back to the charming 19th century doggy pen.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Not a bad haul from our experts, eh?
0:31:35 > 0:31:42Over the last 10 years, I have visited the most amazing stately homes, country houses, museums,
0:31:42 > 0:31:47galleries and collections, during my time on Bargain Hunt.
0:31:47 > 0:31:52And sometimes, I've been looking at not exactly traditional antiques.
0:31:54 > 0:31:59I have been known to nose around the odd motoring fair in Kent.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03'Take to the open road in style in Sussex.'
0:32:06 > 0:32:13All in all, I've been allowed to handle some very precious motoring machinery.
0:32:14 > 0:32:19If I say Rolls-Royce, the feature that probably springs to mind
0:32:19 > 0:32:25is the distinctive radiator grille and the glorious mascot on the top.
0:32:25 > 0:32:30That mascot is often referred to as the Flying Lady, but strictly speaking,
0:32:30 > 0:32:36her title is the Spirit Of Ecstasy and she is a fascinating woman.
0:32:36 > 0:32:41How is it that this thing has become the icon of motoring history?
0:32:41 > 0:32:45Well, the story is a mixture of controversy,
0:32:45 > 0:32:50comedy and more than a little bit of romance along the road.
0:32:57 > 0:33:04Originally, in the early 1900s, there were no mascots, but some owners started adding their own.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08Reports were received of devils, black cats
0:33:08 > 0:33:14and even one German businessman added a sausage up front to advertise his business.
0:33:14 > 0:33:21Anyway, Rolls-Royce found all this very distasteful and in 1910, they commissioned their own mascot,
0:33:21 > 0:33:26which they hoped that owners would find irresistible.
0:33:26 > 0:33:33The lady she was supposedly modelled on was certainly irresistible to one important Rolls-Royce owner.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37At the world headquarters of Rolls-Royce, I found that Lord Montagu of Beaulieu's secretary,
0:33:37 > 0:33:43Eleanor Thornton, was the likely inspiration for the mascot.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46The sculptor was Charles Sykes and if you look carefully,
0:33:46 > 0:33:50you can see his signature inscribed on the base of the figure.
0:33:50 > 0:33:54He described her as, "A delightful little goddess."
0:33:54 > 0:34:01His daughter claimed that there were several female models for this figure, but that could have been
0:34:01 > 0:34:06a smokescreen to cover up the fact that she was Lord Montagu's lover.
0:34:06 > 0:34:11Eleanor, sadly, died in 1915 when she was travelling to India
0:34:11 > 0:34:15with Lord Montagu on the SS Persia.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17The vessel was torpedoed,
0:34:17 > 0:34:22but Lord Montagu ensured that the mascot remained
0:34:22 > 0:34:24as a testament to her lasting beauty.
0:34:26 > 0:34:31But for the 21st century, she's got one final secret up her skirt.
0:34:31 > 0:34:38She's retractable to keep her out of thieving hands, but I think I'm going to keep her up, let the wind
0:34:38 > 0:34:43blow in her hair one last time, as I head off to the auction.
0:34:45 > 0:34:50And let's hope our teams motor on home today with some nice profits for charity.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55So, Anita, how lovely to be here in Glasgow.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57- Oh, welcome again, Tim, welcome. - Thank you very much.
0:34:57 > 0:35:04Now, your big test comes on Friday, when you're the expert competitor on the anniversary programme.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06- With Phillip Serrell.- I know!
0:35:06 > 0:35:08Rather you than me.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11But, right now, though, Anita, let's look at today's competitors.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15Paul and David, they're first up with the piece of Murano glass.
0:35:15 > 0:35:19- Now, do you think that's Murano, Anita? - Well, it's European at any rate.
0:35:19 > 0:35:26It has a good weight, it has a nice polished base, it's big and it's colourful.
0:35:26 > 0:35:31- That's true. And what's it going to bring, do you think? - Well, estimate on that, 25 to 40.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35- They'll be chuffed about that because they only paid £25. - Glass is very popular just now.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38Well, it'll be interesting to see what happens.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41Now, the bronzed figure.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45I mean, a handsome military man, but I guess not very old, what do you think?
0:35:45 > 0:35:50No. Certainly in the latter part of the 20th century at any rate.
0:35:50 > 0:35:56Yes. It's what I used to call brand Harry spankers, but perhaps we're being kind to it.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59- We do want to be kind to it. - He is a quite an attractive chap.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02- Yes, nice moustache. - People will be drawn to him.- Yes.
0:36:02 > 0:36:03I think he's got a chance.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06What sort of money do you think, Anita?
0:36:06 > 0:36:09- I've estimated 60 to 80. - Well, that's great, £50 is paid.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12I might have been a wee bit generous on that one.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15Oh, Lord! We're getting a bit of a warning signal there.
0:36:15 > 0:36:22Now, lastly is this, I think, rather cleverly-bought silver and stone mounted bracelet.
0:36:22 > 0:36:29In Scotland, we love our polished pebble jewellery and this is a particularly nice one.
0:36:29 > 0:36:36- This has a Glasgow hallmark and the Glasgow people will like that.- What do you think it's going to bring?
0:36:36 > 0:36:41- Estimate 40 to 60.- Well, they paid 50. You never know.- That's not bad.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44With your persuasive tongue, I expect they'll get away with it.
0:36:44 > 0:36:50Now, the big question is are they going to need my bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:36:51 > 0:36:55So, boys, the moment of the bonus buy.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57My moment of dread in these programmes!
0:36:57 > 0:37:01Anyway, you spent overall £125, which is completely miserable.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04I know, I know. We're tactical players, as you know, Tim.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08- Is that what it is? - Yeah.- Canny.- Well, you're both very cunning.- Scared silly!
0:37:08 > 0:37:10So I'm not given the leftover lolly, I'm given £100
0:37:10 > 0:37:16to find your bonus buy which I've done, and I invite you, Mr Laidlaw, to remove the cloth.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18Thank you, sir.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20- Oh, like it.- Look at that.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24I get a lovely reaction from our TWEEDY team.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27Very unusual. Bronze.
0:37:27 > 0:37:32Yeah, they're bronze, but have you ever seen a park bench applied with pretty little birds like this?
0:37:32 > 0:37:34- It's an unusual composition, isn't it?- It is.
0:37:34 > 0:37:39The birds are gilt and then that thing next door is a sort of waste paper bin, don't you think?
0:37:39 > 0:37:42- It is, it is.- A park-like waste paper bin that makes your ink well.
0:37:42 > 0:37:47And then you've got this nice polished stone bottom to it. It doesn't seem to be damaged.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50It seems to be, you know, pretty well spot on.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52- But I think the big question, Tim... - Yes.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54- Is how much did you pay for it? - £100.- £100, bang on?
0:37:54 > 0:37:56- I had to spend my 100.- Wow.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59I negotiated pretty hard to get it down to 100.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02- OK.- That's the best I could find. - No, it's very nice and we'll think about it.
0:38:02 > 0:38:08Yeah, do think about it because you don't have to choose until the sale of your first three items,
0:38:08 > 0:38:12but for the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about my bonus buy.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16So, look at this, Anita. Twit twoo! Do you like it?
0:38:16 > 0:38:20I think that it's absolutely charming.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24I think it's a wee bit later than 1930s, maybe 1940s, 1950s.
0:38:24 > 0:38:29In the '50s, they were looking back to the Art Deco style.
0:38:29 > 0:38:35What makes this particularly charming are these gorgeous wee plump birdies.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37I'm really chuffed by this and I quite rate it.
0:38:37 > 0:38:44I think it will do well. I think it's so charming, it's so appealing, I think it might take a wee flyer.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47- Might it? What's your estimate? - My estimate is 70 to 100.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50Oh, dear. I paid £100 for it.
0:38:50 > 0:38:55- Sometimes, estimating conservatively is a good tactical move.- Yes.
0:38:55 > 0:39:00- It encourages the bidding.- Right. Well, I need a bit of encouragement.
0:39:00 > 0:39:05Anyway, that's that, Anita, and indeed, that's it for the Reds. Now, for the Blues.
0:39:05 > 0:39:09Mark, rather predictably, has gone for this baluster pot.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12He's a bit of a traditional type of chap, isn't he?
0:39:12 > 0:39:14Well, in some respect!
0:39:14 > 0:39:16HE LAUGHS
0:39:16 > 0:39:20- Well...- Yes.- Langley. We have a lot of Langley collectors out there.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22There is a Langley Collectors Club.
0:39:22 > 0:39:26- Ah.- So hopefully, they will pick up on the internet on this vase.
0:39:26 > 0:39:32This pattern might be a little bit out of favour for these times,
0:39:32 > 0:39:35but I think that this lovely singing cobalt blue will help it on.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37- Yes, it goes rather well with your jacket.- Thank you.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40So what's your estimate, darling?
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Estimate 80 to 120.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45OK, they paid £100, so they're just about in the frame with that.
0:39:45 > 0:39:51Now, they've gone completely off piste with this nice Japanese letter opener.
0:39:51 > 0:39:56I love this. I think this is absolutely wonderful.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59We have here, this mythical creature
0:39:59 > 0:40:04with what we might call a gilded loincloth.
0:40:04 > 0:40:05Oh, Lord!
0:40:05 > 0:40:13He's clasping on to this large fish which is regurgitating this cat-like devil.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16- Yes.- So it's telling a story.
0:40:16 > 0:40:17- Yes.- I think it's wonderful.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21- There's quality in this piece.- And what do you think it's worth, Anita?
0:40:21 > 0:40:27I've estimated it between 100 and 200, which is quite a wide estimate.
0:40:27 > 0:40:33- It certainly is.- But I think this is the type of quirky item that could really sail away.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36Yes, well, £100 to £200 is brilliant because they paid 100.
0:40:36 > 0:40:41Similarly, really, with this wee fruit wood novelty pen.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43Isn't... Isn't that just so sweet?
0:40:43 > 0:40:46Isn't that just so lovely?
0:40:46 > 0:40:51The carving of whippet's head is very delicate, it's very well done,
0:40:51 > 0:40:55so people will appreciate the quality and the craftsmanship in it.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59- I suppose it's Black Forest, isn't it?- Yes. It's lovely.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02My estimate on that is 80 to 120.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05Oh, that's brilliant. She spent £70 on it. I think they deserve,
0:41:05 > 0:41:12on the basis of their bravery, in going with these two quite obscure, oddball items, to do quite well.
0:41:12 > 0:41:17- Yeah.- In which case they won't need my bonus buy, but we're going to go and have a look at it anyway.
0:41:18 > 0:41:22- Well, hi, Blues. How are you? - Very excited.- Are you?
0:41:22 > 0:41:25- Yes.- Not half as excited as we're about your tights, Catherine.
0:41:25 > 0:41:29I mean, that is... That's an amazingly good look, darling.
0:41:29 > 0:41:34- Thank you.- Are you trying to captivate the audience, or just the presenter?
0:41:34 > 0:41:40- You, of course, Tim.- You, of course. Now, look, as it's a special programme, I'm going to ask you
0:41:40 > 0:41:43- to reveal my bonus buy, so would you remove my cloth for me?- I will.
0:41:43 > 0:41:44Are you ready for this, Mark?
0:41:44 > 0:41:46- Here we go. Oh, lovely.- Ah!
0:41:46 > 0:41:48- Oh, I like those.- Do you like those?
0:41:48 > 0:41:50- Yes, I do.- Oh, there's a nice bit of weight to them as well.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52You two have been like lovebirds,
0:41:52 > 0:41:56so I thought "All I can do is to buy a couple of lovebirds."
0:41:56 > 0:42:00- Oh, they're sweet.- I mean, they're budgerigars, strictly, I think.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04- Austrian, Tim? - Austrian, yes, absolutely. Cold-painted bronze Austrian jobs.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06Oh, they're lovely. I like them.
0:42:06 > 0:42:07- Do you like those? - I love them.- Very much.
0:42:07 > 0:42:11That's what I love about this team, they're so enthusiastic.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14- This is lovely, actually. The detail is very nice. - They're filthy too.
0:42:14 > 0:42:18They want a jolly good scrub-a-dub because most of the paint is there.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20- Yeah.- Yes, it's. - It's just got grubby.
0:42:20 > 0:42:25They've got their tails are intactus. Mostly those tails get bent and knocked off, as you know.
0:42:25 > 0:42:30They can be quite vulnerable, so I was really, really, really chuffed to find those.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33- What did you pay for them, Tim? - Do you want to know?- I do.- You do?
0:42:33 > 0:42:35- We do, don't we? - You're quite sharp on the money.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38Well, I didn't spend the 100, spent 70. £35 each.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40That's very good.
0:42:40 > 0:42:41Is that what you called a S-N-I-P?
0:42:41 > 0:42:45- I think absolutely. - Then it's cheap as...?
0:42:45 > 0:42:47As inexpensive fried potatoes!
0:42:47 > 0:42:51To be honest, I think if you'd have got these for 100, I think that was...
0:42:51 > 0:42:54- I think they're worth £120 each. Absolutely.- I think there are great.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56- Oh, I'm so excited. - Well, that's good, isn't it?
0:42:56 > 0:42:59On the other hand, don't get too carried away,
0:42:59 > 0:43:04because as we know, in this game, anything can happen and I have to take on the chin
0:43:04 > 0:43:08if they don't make £70, I have to look at the camera and say, "Oh, that's all right. "
0:43:08 > 0:43:12It's not at all, I'm livid, but we shall see, all right?
0:43:12 > 0:43:15- Thanks, Tim.- Happy, guys? - Very.- I love them, Tim.
0:43:15 > 0:43:20Very happy, guys. Well, we've got two happy expert contestants.
0:43:20 > 0:43:27Let us find out what our happy auctioneer thinks about my pairs of budgies, aah!
0:43:27 > 0:43:29So, tweet tweet.
0:43:29 > 0:43:33Over to you and out of your cage!
0:43:33 > 0:43:35A pair of loving birds, or a loving budgies.
0:43:35 > 0:43:37Yes.
0:43:37 > 0:43:44I think these are absolutely lovely and Austrian cold-painted bronzes have never gone out of fashion.
0:43:44 > 0:43:47These are beautifully moulded, they're very, very sweet
0:43:47 > 0:43:51- and we still have got a wee bit of colour in them.- Yes. - So I think they're lovely.
0:43:51 > 0:43:54I was really chuffed to pay £70 for the pair.
0:43:54 > 0:43:57- They're desirable objects, aren't they?- Oh, yes.
0:43:57 > 0:43:59People like this sort of thing. Estimate, 80 to 120.
0:43:59 > 0:44:04- Well, that would be perfect. I mean, anything more than £70 will help anyway.- Yes.
0:44:04 > 0:44:06I know we can rely on you, Anita.
0:44:06 > 0:44:10I will do my best. I'm looking forward to selling all this stuff.
0:44:10 > 0:44:12Very good. Thank you.
0:44:21 > 0:44:24- Well, the boot is definitely on the other foot today, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:44:24 > 0:44:29I tell you. I am so pleased we're in this supremely-good saleroom, though, because look at this crowd.
0:44:29 > 0:44:32- Safe hands, Tim.- Well, let's hope so.
0:44:32 > 0:44:35Paul, how are you feeling, are you feeling confident?
0:44:35 > 0:44:38I am. I don't want to be cocky, but, yeah, I think...
0:44:38 > 0:44:40- Yeah, yeah.- I think we're looking at a good deal.
0:44:40 > 0:44:45- Are you on the cocky end of... - I have been accused of being cocky in the past, yeah. Probably true.
0:44:45 > 0:44:48- Yes, but today specifically? - Very cocky.
0:44:48 > 0:44:51Well, you watch out because our friend up there's got his eye on you, all right?
0:44:51 > 0:44:55First up is the Murano glass bowl and here it comes.
0:44:55 > 0:45:01Lot 138 is that superb Murano glass dish...
0:45:01 > 0:45:03She's bigging it up, bigging it up.
0:45:03 > 0:45:06A beautiful colour of fine-quality glass.
0:45:06 > 0:45:09Can we say £80?
0:45:09 > 0:45:11- Go on! Go on.- 60? Start me at £20.
0:45:11 > 0:45:14- Oh, no! Don't start at £20. - 20 bid. Any advance on 20? 30.
0:45:14 > 0:45:18- Go on!- With you, madam, at 30 for the Murano.
0:45:18 > 0:45:2140. £40. Mrs Gillespie at 40. 50.
0:45:21 > 0:45:27- Come on.- Get in there! - 60. Any advance on £60? £60?
0:45:27 > 0:45:29- Yes! Get in there. - Well, that is excellent, isn't it?
0:45:29 > 0:45:32- Well done.- £60 is 25...
0:45:32 > 0:45:3530... Is £35. £35 you made on it.
0:45:35 > 0:45:38139, what a good looking guy.
0:45:38 > 0:45:43He's a French bronze figure of a military officer.
0:45:43 > 0:45:48Can we say 150 for the bronze figure? 100? Start me at 50.
0:45:48 > 0:45:5030 bid. Any advance on 30?
0:45:50 > 0:45:51- Oh, come on.- No, no, no.
0:45:51 > 0:45:53- Any advance on 30? 40.- Come on.
0:45:53 > 0:45:56- Oh, no, come on.- 45.
0:45:56 > 0:46:00- 50. Any advance on £50? All done at £50.- No, Anita!
0:46:00 > 0:46:02Oh, there's more, there's more!
0:46:02 > 0:46:0455, fresh bidder. Paul at 55.
0:46:04 > 0:46:07Any advance on 55?
0:46:07 > 0:46:09All done at 55? 55.
0:46:09 > 0:46:13Well, by the skin of your teeth then, £55.
0:46:13 > 0:46:16You are plus £5 on that. You're £40 up, lads.
0:46:16 > 0:46:17You are plus 40.
0:46:17 > 0:46:21Lot 140, again one of my favourite pieces.
0:46:21 > 0:46:25It's a Scottish silver bracelet with the polished agate.
0:46:25 > 0:46:28- It has the Glasgow hallmark. - Uch aye!- Aye.
0:46:28 > 0:46:32- Aye.- Can we say £100?
0:46:32 > 0:46:33- £50? Start me at 30.- £50 paid.
0:46:33 > 0:46:36- Come on.- 30 bid. 40.
0:46:36 > 0:46:38Any advance on 40?
0:46:38 > 0:46:4150. I'll catch you all in a minute.
0:46:41 > 0:46:44- £50. 60. 70.- Go.
0:46:44 > 0:46:4880. 90. 100. £100.
0:46:48 > 0:46:53- All done at £100? 110. - Look out!- Here we go, here we go.
0:46:53 > 0:46:54With you, sir, at 110.
0:46:54 > 0:46:56All done at 110? All done at 110?
0:46:56 > 0:46:58110.
0:46:58 > 0:47:01Well, how brilliant is that? £110.
0:47:01 > 0:47:03- Brilliant.- And you'll believe this, look, £110 is plus 60 on that.
0:47:03 > 0:47:05You had 40 before. You are plus £100.
0:47:05 > 0:47:07You have £100 profit.
0:47:07 > 0:47:09Are you going to risk a £100?
0:47:09 > 0:47:13Oh, well, I just don't know, I just don't know!
0:47:13 > 0:47:14- Is this guy any good?- Not really.
0:47:14 > 0:47:19I'm not going to take it agin you if you don't because quite frankly anything could happen.
0:47:19 > 0:47:22- We're going with it, you know we are. - I don't think they... Oh, OK.
0:47:22 > 0:47:26- It was always going to happen. - OK, well this is a brown trouser moment for me.
0:47:26 > 0:47:29Because these two lads are arch winners, right?
0:47:29 > 0:47:35They are going to go with my bonus buy. They have £100 and they're going to risk £100 on this object.
0:47:35 > 0:47:37How cool is that?
0:47:37 > 0:47:40I'm feeling a bit flushed, actually. OK, here it comes.
0:47:40 > 0:47:41This is ooh la la!
0:47:41 > 0:47:45It's a French Art Deco ink stand
0:47:45 > 0:47:49modelled with these delightful little plump birds.
0:47:49 > 0:47:51They're sat upon a bench.
0:47:51 > 0:47:54Will you start me at £100?
0:47:54 > 0:47:56Are you feeling the pressure, Tim, or what?
0:47:56 > 0:47:58For the French Art Deco ink stand.
0:47:58 > 0:48:00- 50 bid.- Oh!
0:48:00 > 0:48:03Any advance on £50 for the Art Deco lot?
0:48:03 > 0:48:05This is where I've just lost £50.
0:48:05 > 0:48:0770. 80. 90.
0:48:07 > 0:48:10- 100.- It was never a problem!
0:48:10 > 0:48:15- 110. 120. 130.- Oh, look at this! This is getting a bit more like it.
0:48:15 > 0:48:17Any advance on £130, all done at 130?
0:48:17 > 0:48:20- 130.- Well, that's good, isn't it?
0:48:20 > 0:48:22Plus £30.
0:48:22 > 0:48:24I think I've been quite jammy there, I have to say.
0:48:24 > 0:48:26But anyway, £130, all right.
0:48:26 > 0:48:31- Don't say a word to the Blues. - No, we don't speak to them. - Not one word to your colleagues.
0:48:31 > 0:48:35Anyway, good luck. Well done. Smashing job.
0:48:46 > 0:48:49We see a lot of rare and precious things on Bargain Hunt,
0:48:49 > 0:48:55but sometimes the value is not so much what it's made of, but who owned it.
0:48:55 > 0:48:57Now, do you remember these?
0:48:57 > 0:49:00This is a pair of bloomers.
0:49:00 > 0:49:02Enormous, aren't they?
0:49:02 > 0:49:06Actually, this is only half of a pair of bloomers.
0:49:06 > 0:49:10That is the bloomers in their full scale
0:49:10 > 0:49:13and no ordinary bloomers, these.
0:49:13 > 0:49:16These belong to a queen. I mean it. Queen Victoria.
0:49:16 > 0:49:20Look, it says VR, Victoria Regina.
0:49:20 > 0:49:24It had has created an international storm of interest.
0:49:24 > 0:49:30There are numerous telephone lines booked and the estimate is £200 to £300.
0:49:30 > 0:49:34Do you know what Queen Victoria would have said about all of this?
0:49:34 > 0:49:36"We are not amused."
0:49:36 > 0:49:39It must be lot 402, you've all seen them...
0:49:39 > 0:49:42We've got lots of media interest in her bloomers.
0:49:42 > 0:49:49Remember, the estimate is £200 to £300 and apparently she really did wear them. Here we go.
0:49:49 > 0:49:55A rare pair of Queen Victoria's white cotton hand-sewn bloomers
0:49:55 > 0:49:59of circa 1880, embroidered crown and a very personal social thing
0:49:59 > 0:50:02- to really handle, and we're delighted.- Handle!?
0:50:02 > 0:50:06Lots of interest and I shall start this lot at 900.
0:50:06 > 0:50:09Thank you for coming. 900.
0:50:09 > 0:50:13950. 1,000.
0:50:13 > 0:50:151,100. 1,200.
0:50:15 > 0:50:1814. 16. 18. 2,000. 22.
0:50:18 > 0:50:2324. 26. 28. 3,000.
0:50:23 > 0:50:2432.
0:50:24 > 0:50:27- 34. 36.- Yes.
0:50:27 > 0:50:2838.
0:50:28 > 0:50:30£4,000.
0:50:30 > 0:50:3342, sir? No, £4,000 bid.
0:50:33 > 0:50:36£4,000 bid for the bloomers.
0:50:36 > 0:50:38Fair warning, going once.
0:50:38 > 0:50:40I'll take 41. 41.
0:50:40 > 0:50:4442. One more, sir? 43.
0:50:44 > 0:50:47No, sir? 4,200 on the phone.
0:50:47 > 0:50:50I'll take 43. Going once, they're sold.
0:50:50 > 0:50:564,200. Isn't that extraordinary?
0:50:56 > 0:51:02£4,200, that's £2,100 per leg.
0:51:02 > 0:51:08Queen Victoria would be proud of him and, frankly, for 4,200 I think I'd drop mine.
0:51:08 > 0:51:11Ooh, matron!
0:51:11 > 0:51:16Who could possibly have thought that Queen Victoria's undies could have brought quite that much?
0:51:16 > 0:51:18Just for a pair of bloomers!
0:51:18 > 0:51:23Let's hope we get that lucky today, but I wouldn't bet my Y-fronts on it.
0:51:28 > 0:51:31- Been chatting to the Reds then, have we?- No.
0:51:31 > 0:51:34- Not a dickie bird.- No, not a thing? Good, well, we like that.
0:51:34 > 0:51:37We don't want you to know because it might spoil the competition.
0:51:37 > 0:51:42So, the experience is unusual this, isn't it?
0:51:42 > 0:51:44- It is.- Two experts... - It's brilliant though.
0:51:44 > 0:51:46- In the competition.- It's good fun.
0:51:46 > 0:51:50- Yeah.- And we had a laugh. We had two seconds left before we had to...
0:51:50 > 0:51:53- Yes.- Finish our buying, so it was on the skin of our teeth, really.
0:51:53 > 0:51:55You're looking terribly well bonded up you two,
0:51:55 > 0:51:58and first up is your Langley pot and here it comes.
0:51:58 > 0:52:00Lot 160,
0:52:00 > 0:52:05this superb Lovett's Langley leadless glazed stoneware vase.
0:52:05 > 0:52:09Can we say £200 for the Art Nouveau vase?
0:52:09 > 0:52:13- It would be lovely if she could!- 150? Will you start me at £100?- Come on.
0:52:13 > 0:52:17- Come on, please.- Start me at 100.
0:52:17 > 0:52:20- Come on.- £50. Any advance on £50?
0:52:20 > 0:52:26- No. No!- 60. 70. 80. 90. 100.
0:52:26 > 0:52:28Oh, we have... We have...
0:52:28 > 0:52:32For the Art Nouveau vase. All done at 100? 100.
0:52:32 > 0:52:34That's wiped its face.
0:52:34 > 0:52:36- No profit, no loss, no shame. - No, but that's good, actually.
0:52:36 > 0:52:41A superb item. It's the Japanese Meiji-period letter opener,
0:52:41 > 0:52:43most unusual.
0:52:43 > 0:52:44150.
0:52:44 > 0:52:48Will you give me £100? 50 then.
0:52:48 > 0:52:50- Oh, no!- 50 bid. Any advance on 50?
0:52:50 > 0:52:5360. 70. 80. 90.
0:52:53 > 0:52:55£90.
0:52:55 > 0:52:58With you, sir, at £100.
0:52:58 > 0:52:59We need to make a bit of profit here.
0:52:59 > 0:53:01- This is awful.- 100.
0:53:01 > 0:53:03Done at 100? 100.
0:53:03 > 0:53:05That's a second wiped face.
0:53:05 > 0:53:07We haven't had two wiped face for years.
0:53:07 > 0:53:09We don't want to wipe faces.
0:53:09 > 0:53:16162 is the sweetest little 19th-century carved fruitwood nib.
0:53:16 > 0:53:20Isn't that the sweetest little thing? 100.
0:53:20 > 0:53:21Start me at 50. 50 bid.
0:53:21 > 0:53:25- Oh, come on.- 60. 70. 80. 90.
0:53:25 > 0:53:28- At least it's a profit.- £90.
0:53:28 > 0:53:32- Come on!- Any advance on 90 for this rare pen? £90.
0:53:32 > 0:53:34Well done, plus £20.
0:53:34 > 0:53:36You have made a profit of £20.
0:53:36 > 0:53:39How good is that? Two wiped faces and a £20 profit.
0:53:39 > 0:53:41- I know, but it's not... - It's not good, is it?
0:53:41 > 0:53:45What do you mean it's not good? You know how this programme works!
0:53:45 > 0:53:50- Well, that's true actually. - You know how many losses we get. You have not made a loss.
0:53:50 > 0:53:53Well, what are you going to do about the old birdies?
0:53:53 > 0:53:57- Oh, undoubtedly we have to go with these.- Do you have to go with them?
0:53:57 > 0:54:00- Are they cheap cheap? - They are cheap cheap.
0:54:00 > 0:54:01- That's awful.- Cheap cheap! - Is that awful?
0:54:01 > 0:54:05Oh, dear, that something you got out of the bottom of the cage!
0:54:05 > 0:54:07- No, thank you, we love those, I think.- You love them?
0:54:07 > 0:54:09- Yeah.- And you're going to go with them.
0:54:09 > 0:54:11Now we have a pair
0:54:11 > 0:54:17of Austrian cold-painted bronze groups of budgerigars.
0:54:17 > 0:54:21Can we say £300 for the pair? 200?
0:54:21 > 0:54:24Will you start me at £100? 100 bid.
0:54:24 > 0:54:28- Yes!- 110. 120. 130.
0:54:28 > 0:54:31- Oh, they like these budgies.- £150.
0:54:31 > 0:54:33Hang on, hang on, hang on!
0:54:33 > 0:54:36150. It's still cheap...
0:54:36 > 0:54:40- Ho ho!- At £150. 160, fresh bidder.
0:54:40 > 0:54:42£160.
0:54:42 > 0:54:44160, what a good girl she is.
0:54:44 > 0:54:46You're saving our bacon here.
0:54:46 > 0:54:48Well, I don't know about that. 160.
0:54:48 > 0:54:49- 160. 160.- £160.
0:54:49 > 0:54:51- Well done. - She's a brilliant woman.
0:54:51 > 0:54:55It's all down to that woman, I tell you. £160. That is great.
0:54:55 > 0:54:59So, it's plus £90. You got 20, that's plus 110, all right?
0:54:59 > 0:55:00- That is £110.- That's fantastic!
0:55:00 > 0:55:03You're in three figures, you guys!
0:55:03 > 0:55:05- Well done.- How about that? - It's pretty sexy.
0:55:05 > 0:55:10- Thank you, Tim.- No, not at all. I don't want to shake your hand!- I was going to say, let's have a kiss.
0:55:10 > 0:55:13- o, well done. Well, that's great. Don't tell the Reds a thing.- No.
0:55:13 > 0:55:17- That could be a winning score. - Oh, it'd be nice, wouldn't it?
0:55:29 > 0:55:30Well, well, what fun!
0:55:30 > 0:55:35I can reveal that there is of course barely a sheet of Bronco between our teams today.
0:55:35 > 0:55:39- It is so close and you've not been chatting with one another, have you? - No.- No.
0:55:39 > 0:55:43- No, no, not at all.- No. Well, of course, sadly we have to have
0:55:43 > 0:55:50a runner up, but the contributions to charity in terms of winnings are nothing short of phenomenal.
0:55:50 > 0:55:55And the runners up today, I regret to say, are the Blues.
0:55:55 > 0:56:00- No!- Yeah, but there's, as they say, nothing in it.
0:56:00 > 0:56:02You washed your face twice, yes?
0:56:02 > 0:56:07- We did.- You made a £20 profit and then my bonus buy made £90 profit.
0:56:07 > 0:56:11- What?- Which took you guys to £110 worth of profit.- Thank you.
0:56:11 > 0:56:14So there's your £110, which is pretty good.
