0:00:02 > 0:00:06I'm in Somersetshire in a delightful, pastoral location
0:00:06 > 0:00:10surrounded by rolling hills and delicious countryside,
0:00:10 > 0:00:13but don't be fooled!
0:00:13 > 0:00:18There's still shedloads of antiques - so let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:41 > 0:00:45Hello, and welcome to Shepton Mallet in Somerset.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Just look what we've got in store for you on the show today,
0:00:48 > 0:00:51you lucky, lucky people.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57'The Red team takes on David Harper at his own game...'
0:00:57 > 0:00:59You see, you're telling the truth
0:00:59 > 0:01:03- and you're pretending not to be an expert.- I'm not. You're the expert.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05- I wish...- I'm Tim's driver!
0:01:05 > 0:01:09'..while the Blues take it easy with Mark Stacey.'
0:01:09 > 0:01:14We may as well just continue because he's going to stay there for ever!
0:01:14 > 0:01:16'But there are surprises in store for everyone
0:01:16 > 0:01:18'when it comes to the auction.'
0:01:18 > 0:01:19In for a penny, in for a pound.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Once upon a time, you were a confident,
0:01:21 > 0:01:24forward-looking woman and now you've become a gibbering wreck.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27All that and much, much more to come,
0:01:27 > 0:01:30so, let's get cracking and meet the teams.
0:01:31 > 0:01:37On the Red team today, we have jolly good friends Yvonne and Tricia.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38Welcome to Bargain Hunt.
0:01:38 > 0:01:44And, for the Blues, a married couple, Holly and Josh. Hi, guys.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45- Hello!- Hello.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49Now, I promised not to make any mother-in-law jokes, right?
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- We don't mind.- You don't mind? Because you are mothers-in-law.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- We are mothers-in-law. - So, tell me how all that came about.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58My son married Yvonne's daughter.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00But being mothers-in-law is not the only thing that you
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- have in common, is it?- Correct.
0:02:02 > 0:02:08We were catwalk mannequins as they were in those days.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10- In our young days. - Glamour models.- Yes.
0:02:10 > 0:02:16- Well, glamour nowadays, you know, uh...is not quite...- The same thing.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20- I see. No, no, quite. - We were the catwalk models, yes.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- And what sort of things did you model?- Anything, really.
0:02:22 > 0:02:28- I was known as a bride and... Were you a bride's mother?- Uh, no, no!
0:02:28 > 0:02:33- I was always a bride.- We are good friends, I'm just saying that!
0:02:33 > 0:02:36That was a barbed comment, wasn't it! Lovely.
0:02:36 > 0:02:41- Now, Tricia, you've got exceptionally small feet.- I have.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43That's very nice to know, isn't it?
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Isn't it just, yes.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48So, this has led you to great fortune, has it? Small feet?
0:02:48 > 0:02:50- No, afraid not.- No.- No, no.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54It's just that when I was working as a model, nobody else could
0:02:54 > 0:02:58- wear my shoes cos they all had large feet and I had small feet.- Yes.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01I think you girls are going to do terribly well on Bargain Hunt.
0:03:01 > 0:03:06- I hope so!- Very, very good luck. Now, we go across a continent or two.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07- Yes.- In fact, we go down under.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11Tell us about your meeting and how it all came about.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14We met when we were at church together in Adelaide
0:03:14 > 0:03:17in Australia, where we're from. I met him and I thought...
0:03:17 > 0:03:19- You thought, "Great."- He's a bit all right.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- Yes, quite, and this is in church! - Yes, in church!
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Goodness knows what you thought when you got outside!
0:03:24 > 0:03:26THEY LAUGH
0:03:26 > 0:03:29You began dating and then Josh discovered that your mother's
0:03:29 > 0:03:30a big Bargain Hunt fan.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35Yes, she is the biggest fan in Australia, I would have to say, yes!
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- Absolutely!- So, is she really proud you're on the show now?
0:03:38 > 0:03:44She's very, very, very proud, but, at the same time, extremely jealous!
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Super. Josh, is there anything else that we ought to know about you?
0:03:47 > 0:03:49I'm pretty much an all-round sports fan,
0:03:49 > 0:03:51but definitely from the armchair.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55- And tell us about these biographies of famous people.- Yeah, I've just...
0:03:55 > 0:04:00I collect biographies and I have just a small collection of them,
0:04:00 > 0:04:01which is growing vastly,
0:04:01 > 0:04:05so I'm just waiting on the next Tim Wonnacott biography, really.
0:04:05 > 0:04:06THEY LAUGH
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Well, funny you should say that...
0:04:08 > 0:04:10No, no!
0:04:10 > 0:04:14Right, now, the money moment. Here's your £300. £300 apiece.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15You got that? Grab the £300.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19You know the rules, your experts await and off you go and
0:04:19 > 0:04:21very, very, very good luck!
0:04:21 > 0:04:24'As always, our experts are here to help.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26'Racing for the Reds, it's David Harper.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29'And, striding out for the Blues, it's Mark Stacey.'
0:04:29 > 0:04:31'And they'll need to get a sprint on today,
0:04:31 > 0:04:35'as they'll be helping not one, but two lots of Reds and Blues.'
0:04:38 > 0:04:40It's... Oh, I like that blue and white.
0:04:42 > 0:04:43Now, tell me why you like that, then.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46I like the blue colour, and I don't think it's chipped.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Can we have a look underneath?
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Abbey, England - so that's after 1891.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53And it's not made in England, is it? It's England...
0:04:53 > 0:04:57- It can be made in England.- But that's later.- It's later. Well done.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59- If it's just stamped "England"... - That's right.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01..it's 1891 onwards, not before.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Prior to 1891, they weren't generally marked.
0:05:04 > 0:05:09- That will be 1891 to about 1905, 1910.- I see.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11- After that, made in England.- Right.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15Now, is it hand-painted or is it transferware?
0:05:15 > 0:05:19- Transferware, I should think. - You've got 38 on that one.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21- What would the death be on that one?- 25.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23A bit less?
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Oh, they're in there!
0:05:25 > 0:05:26THEY LAUGH
0:05:26 > 0:05:29If I go less, you've got a deal. £20.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- We will have that. Thank you.- You're welcome. Thanks very much indeed.
0:05:32 > 0:05:38- Gosh. They do not muck about.- And I hope it pays well.- It should do.
0:05:38 > 0:05:44Yes, it should. I like it, it's very pretty. And for £20, yes. Thank you.
0:05:44 > 0:05:45Very kind.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49'The girls work their charm and get off to a storming start.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51'Now, they've spotted something else
0:05:51 > 0:05:53'and they're still at the same stall.'
0:05:53 > 0:05:57There are enamelled things here, with crests on.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59- Are they RAF crests? - Yes, they're RAF.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02You'd need to put them in an RAF sale, I suppose, would you?
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Well, I mean, ideally, you would want to put them in a special sale,
0:06:05 > 0:06:08but anything like that with an RAF connection is always very good news.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12- Yes.- I think, though, the real piece is this one here, because...
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- Are they silver mounted or plated? - It's just plated, that.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16But this one is silver.
0:06:18 > 0:06:23- And then again we've got... - Oh, I like that.- £40.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25- Personally, this is the one for me...- Yes.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27..that I think is absolutely lovely.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Machined on the back and it is silver.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Nice hallmark. You've got an anchor there,
0:06:32 > 0:06:34- so it was hallmarked in Birmingham...- Yes.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37..in 1936, and the hallmarks are very crisp, aren't they?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39- They are.- Don't you think that's lovely, like that?
0:06:39 > 0:06:42The pattern is great, but I didn't know whether...you know?
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- I like the enamelling. That's very pretty.- Yes...
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- And the crest...- I think the enamelling on the front's gorgeous.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49What's the best on this one?
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Well, how much have I got on that one? "One...two...?"
0:06:53 > 0:06:5412 quid.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56£12!
0:06:57 > 0:06:58£85.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Meet us halfway at 60.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Well, 65 is halfway.
0:07:03 > 0:07:0565, I'll shake your hand.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- It's done. Thank you very much. - What a dealer this guy is!
0:07:08 > 0:07:10DROWNED OUT BY LAUGHTER
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Good man. Are you happy with that, by the way?
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- BOTH: Yes.- Yes, I love it. I think it's beautiful.- Very good.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19I'm very happy with that.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23A second buy from the girls after just 14 minutes!
0:07:23 > 0:07:25And I'm just relieved it was only his glasses,
0:07:25 > 0:07:28David considered removing for that deal!
0:07:28 > 0:07:31A beautiful RAF card case bought
0:07:31 > 0:07:35and it looks like the blues are heading down a military route too.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- What are those? Those are book ends. - Book ends, yeah.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Those are quite fun and they've got little regimental here -
0:07:41 > 0:07:43"Army Service Corp."
0:07:45 > 0:07:47So, maybe... Somebody's obviously made those
0:07:47 > 0:07:48and they're rather fun, actually.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52- They're pretty, um, pretty clean. - Yeah, I mean, I think...
0:07:52 > 0:07:54If they were sort of...
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- I don't know, 20 quid or something...- Yeah.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58- ..they'd be a cert. - That'd be lovely.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Do you want to find out how much they are?
0:08:00 > 0:08:04Yeah, let's see how much they are. I think he's the gentlemen down there.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- Excuse me, I'm just wondering how much?- 15 they'd be.- 15!
0:08:09 > 0:08:13- That's the best price.- OK.- Your best price?- The camera's on you.- Yes!
0:08:13 > 0:08:15- It's still the best price. - THEY LAUGH
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Lovely. 15.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19That sounds pretty good, doesn't it?
0:08:19 > 0:08:20What do you think?
0:08:22 > 0:08:25I do like them and especially for that sort of value
0:08:25 > 0:08:29based on what...he said, what Mark said.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Yeah, why don't we offer him 12 and see if he takes it?
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- 15.- £15?- Yeah.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Well, we've got to get them for that, haven't we?
0:08:38 > 0:08:40- Get our first purchase?- Well, what do you think? Do you like them?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42- I do like them.- I think for £15...
0:08:42 > 0:08:45What do you think they're going to make at auction?
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Well, if I was putting those in to sell... I think I would put...
0:08:48 > 0:08:50£20 to £30, maybe even £30 to £40.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54- Quite unique, you won't see another pair.- OK.- Yeah, sounds good.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- Let's do it. Let's do it. - One down, two to go.- Yes!- Well done.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59I'll let you sort it out.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04'Two oak book ends and the first buy for the Blues.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07'Looks like dissension in the ranks could be slowing
0:09:07 > 0:09:10'the Red team down with Yvonne proving very hard to please.'
0:09:10 > 0:09:13- Do you like a bit of that? Bes-ick or Beswick.- Yes.
0:09:13 > 0:09:18- No. No, no, no. I don't like that. - What do you think?
0:09:18 > 0:09:19It's a bit samey.
0:09:19 > 0:09:20I don't think so.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24'Those Reds sure need to come to a truce soon,
0:09:24 > 0:09:28'as Josh is on a mission to find the perfect chair.'
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Look at him. You can see him in it in his London club, can't you?
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Look, relaxing there in his Adelaide club.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36THEY LAUGH
0:09:36 > 0:09:40'Now, it looks like the Blues have found something rather special.'
0:09:41 > 0:09:44If this was an ordinary Victorian chair, it would be worth
0:09:44 > 0:09:4640 or 50 quid, but because it's got...
0:09:46 > 0:09:47Well, maybe a little bit more than that.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49But, because it's Holland,
0:09:49 > 0:09:52because look at the quality of the turnings here.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56- I think people collect Hollands. - That's right.- We sell it at fairs.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59- And it's buttoned there. - They sell at a good fair.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- It's a lousy colour, but...it's a good chair.- It is a good chair.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04£70.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08- You see, I think that's not bad for £70.- I really actually like this...
0:10:08 > 0:10:10You prefer this than the other one?
0:10:10 > 0:10:12- Yes.- Yes.- To be honest, I do.- Yes.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15I just think I just fixed on, like, a chair, I think, today.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Something that just would...bold, you would just put in a room.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- If all you want is a chair, I like that one better.- No, no...
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- Let's go with this one though.- Yes. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28Excellent. Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31'So, Josh is finally sitting pretty with his
0:10:31 > 0:10:33'Holland armchair for just 70 smackers.'
0:10:33 > 0:10:36I think it's working. They're really happy.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37They're a lovely young couple.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39They're obviously thrilled to be on the show.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41They've got a good strategy.
0:10:41 > 0:10:47They've chosen...very good items with my help, of course.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50'And now Holly is taking control of the Aussie team.'
0:10:50 > 0:10:53I would really like to get something that I pick now,
0:10:53 > 0:10:56because, I think, Josh has got his chair.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00- We've got something a bit quirky... - Josh, is she always this bossy.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02There's no right answer! There's no right answer!
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- There's no politically correct answer.- No!
0:11:09 > 0:11:11So, Yvonne, I mean, look at the stamp there
0:11:11 > 0:11:13and what does that tell you?
0:11:13 > 0:11:18- Mason's Pottery.- Yeah, but there's no "England" or "Made In England".
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- Oh, you're right. Yes!- So, what do we know immediately, then?
0:11:21 > 0:11:25- Before.- Before 1891.- Yes. - Yeah, which is nice.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28And, you know, that typical oriental design,
0:11:28 > 0:11:31which was incredibly popular in this country in the late 19th century.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35We just had a mad fascination for anything with an oriental twist.
0:11:35 > 0:11:40What's the best on this? What's the trade price? Really? OK.
0:11:40 > 0:11:41100 quid.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44A whole Stilton in there. Wouldn't that be good?
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- That would be utterly gorgeous, wouldn't it?- Yep.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- Yvonne, what do you think? You've been very quiet here.- It's...
0:11:50 > 0:11:53I've got to be honest. It's not my favourite thing,
0:11:53 > 0:11:56but, if you two, um, feel that,
0:11:56 > 0:11:59uh...you know, we would do well with it,
0:11:59 > 0:12:01I am more than happy to go along with it.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- Oh, that's a get out if ever I've heard one!- Well, I know it is.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08- I'm telling you. I'm just telling you that, uh...- It doesn't appeal.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- You're not sure. - Let's push on, then, shall we?
0:12:11 > 0:12:15- Let's put it down for now, right? - Yes, yes.- We'll agree on that, then.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21The Mason's cheese dish is clearly not to Yvonne's taste,
0:12:21 > 0:12:25but with just ten minutes left, she might just have to compromise.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Even under pressure, our Bargain Hunt teams are always
0:12:28 > 0:12:31very careful when walking around antique fairs.
0:12:31 > 0:12:32CROCKERY CLATTERS
0:12:32 > 0:12:33THEY GASP
0:12:33 > 0:12:35STALL OWNER: Hey! Hey! Come on. Steady on.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37All good!
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Oh, I thought it was something valuable there, for a minute!
0:12:39 > 0:12:41We almost lost all our budget!
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- I will...- It's a bit loose, so don't drop it.- I won't.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Fingers crossed!
0:12:46 > 0:12:50Thankfully, Holly's spotted something a bit less delicate
0:12:50 > 0:12:52to take a closer look at.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54I like this...I like this a lot.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Well, it's a very feminine shape, isn't it? A heart shape.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Yeah, and it's sewing, so I kind of like it.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01A bit of knitting and sewing and those kinds of things.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- It's GB from Y.- From Y...
0:13:04 > 0:13:08- It's a little present to a loved one.- Oh!
0:13:08 > 0:13:10So, it's marked at 150.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Why don't we see if we can get it down a little bit?
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- What's your best price on this? - To the people of Bargain Hunt.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Oh, don't tell him that! He'll put the price up!
0:13:19 > 0:13:22£120, but that would really be it.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24- 120?- Yeah, absolutely.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28I think let's just get it. Let's take a risk. I like it.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30I like it - let's get it!
0:13:30 > 0:13:33- I think we should.- Happy with that? - Yeah, I'm happy with that.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36- I think, let's do it. - We got it in the end.- Yes.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40- Thank you very much.- Thanks a lot.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44'The Blues make their last buy of the day with five minutes to spare
0:13:44 > 0:13:47'and the Reds, who started with such decisive action,
0:13:47 > 0:13:49'are not running out of time.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52'Can they agree on that cheese dish?'
0:13:52 > 0:13:54- How are you feeling about...? - About what?- ..the cheese dish?
0:13:54 > 0:13:58- Yes, let's, yes.- What do you think? I mean?- Yes, yes.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02- Literally minutes to go. - We have, yes.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Yes, I was outnumbered on that.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Yeah, it looks like you were, Yvonne,
0:14:07 > 0:14:09but this is no time for sour grapes.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12You've only got three minutes left.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14- He's kept it out for us. - If we said 90...
0:14:14 > 0:14:18as we're walking by. If we said 90, would that get it?
0:14:18 > 0:14:22- 90? Good man. Thank you very much indeed. So, that's 90 quid.- Yes.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25- We're done and we've only got a couple of minutes to spare.- Right.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- Well done, girls. - Thank you, thank you.
0:14:29 > 0:14:30Phew!
0:14:30 > 0:14:33'So, both teams have all their items.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35'Let's remind ourselves what they bought.'
0:14:37 > 0:14:39'The Reds hit the ground running
0:14:39 > 0:14:43'and snapped up a Mason's bowl after just two minutes.'
0:14:45 > 0:14:49'Tricia spots an RAF silver card case and is flying high
0:14:49 > 0:14:52'when she pays just £65 for it.'
0:14:52 > 0:14:56'And, after much debate, the Reds finally buy the cheese dish
0:14:56 > 0:14:59'for a generous £90.'
0:14:59 > 0:15:01What did you spend then, overall? What was it in the end?
0:15:01 > 0:15:05- 175.- 175 is the total spent.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07So, I'd quite like £125 now, if we could just calculate this.
0:15:07 > 0:15:12- In your pocket?- £125. - Let's go bargain hunting again!
0:15:12 > 0:15:15"Let's go bargain hunting again," she said. You can't.
0:15:15 > 0:15:20You've already done it. £125. I'll just blow the dust off that one.
0:15:20 > 0:15:25- That's very nice. Shove that over at David Harper.- Right.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29Now, there are no safer hands to take that £125 than David Harper's.
0:15:29 > 0:15:34- Really?- His record for buying bonus buys is ridiculous!
0:15:34 > 0:15:36THEY LAUGH
0:15:36 > 0:15:38- So, you'd better leg it and good luck.- I'm off to the pub.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Why don't we check out how the Blues are getting on, eh?
0:15:42 > 0:15:48'After a slow start, the Blues bag a pair of oak book ends for just £15.'
0:15:48 > 0:15:51'Josh finally settles on £70 for
0:15:51 > 0:15:55'a Holland & Son easy chair. Easy, tiger!'
0:15:55 > 0:15:58'And with Holly's heart set on the Victorian ring box,
0:15:58 > 0:16:03'she pays £120 for it with just minutes to spare. Romantic, eh?'
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- Now, how's it all gone? All right? Had a lovely time?- Yes, absolutely.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08How much did you spend overall then, Josh?
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- £205.- £205, that means you've got £95.
0:16:11 > 0:16:17- £95 here. - 95 smackers goes to the man.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- There you go, Mark. - That's not a bad amount, is it?
0:16:20 > 0:16:23- 95 - that's quite good.- Enough for you to...- Absolutely.- ..go out there
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- and find something splendid.- Yeah, I've got my eye on a few things.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28I must say, they've been brilliant shoppers.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31They've had a plan...which they haven't stuck to,
0:16:31 > 0:16:33but they had a plan, and it worked really brilliantly
0:16:33 > 0:16:35and they're really, really good shoppers.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48Well, we've popped south from Shepton Mallet to Crewkerne to
0:16:48 > 0:16:52be with Richard Kay, our auctioneer at Lawrences Auctioneers today.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54- Very nice to be here. - Nice to have you.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Well, now, for our first team, Yvonne and Patricia,
0:16:57 > 0:16:59we've got this rather boring blue and white bowl.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01I'm not sure it's too boring.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04I think it's a useful size and it's in reasonable condition,
0:17:04 > 0:17:06and it's a pattern that a lot of people would like,
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- so I'm not too disappointed with that.- Oh, good.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11That puts me right in my place! Lovely.
0:17:11 > 0:17:12And what do you think it's worth?
0:17:12 > 0:17:16- I think we could expect it to make £10 to £20.- OK, £20 they paid.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20Now, um, everything's going patriotic these days.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24We've got our RAF visiting card case, which is
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- just the business, really, isn't it? - It's beautifully made.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30It's a little small to be practical, but I don't think people
0:17:30 > 0:17:31buy these things to use them.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33How much do you think it'll bring, Richard?
0:17:33 > 0:17:36- I think that would make £40 to £60. - £65 they paid.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38that's absolutely fine, I think, to pay for it.
0:17:38 > 0:17:43- I hope we might get close to that. - Lastly, then, is the cheese cloche.
0:17:43 > 0:17:48- Yes.- Said to be Mason's, but late period Mason's ironstone.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52Our heroic team paid £90 for this.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54That strikes me as plenty, I'm afraid,
0:17:54 > 0:17:58because I think it shows some signs of use and wear,
0:17:58 > 0:18:01and, um, they're not the sort of things people fall over
0:18:01 > 0:18:03themselves to buy at the moment, I'm afraid.
0:18:03 > 0:18:04What would your estimate be?
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- Probably not more than £30 to £50. - Gosh, that's hard cheese, isn't it?
0:18:07 > 0:18:09It is hard cheese!
0:18:09 > 0:18:10Oh, well.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Anyway, looking at that, I think
0:18:12 > 0:18:15they're going to need the bonus buy, so, let's go and have a look at it.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Tell me what you think of this one.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Ooh! What is it?
0:18:20 > 0:18:21THEY LAUGH
0:18:21 > 0:18:23- You tell me. What do you think? - Cigarettes.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27It is a cigarette dispenser, 1938, Birmingham, nicely hallmarked,
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- good quality.- Good year that was. - Is it a good year?
0:18:30 > 0:18:32- You weren't born in '38?- Shh!
0:18:32 > 0:18:33- '58, surely?!- No, no. '38.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36You could use it for crayons, cocktail sticks,
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- a paperweight, a novelty item. - And what did you pay for it?
0:18:39 > 0:18:42How much do you think I paid for it?
0:18:42 > 0:18:44- You're the expert, I don't...!- 80?
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Well, 80 would be good, wouldn't it? 30.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Ooh, very good. I was thinking 50.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Still, you don't have to decide right now.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55You choose after the sale of your first three items,
0:18:55 > 0:18:56but, for the viewers at home,
0:18:56 > 0:18:59let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about David's little pot.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Well, I think this is rather nice.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05Good quality engine turn decoration, the marks on it are quite clear.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- I think that's a rather attractive little piece.- Estimate wise?
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- £30 to £50.- £30 paid. - That seems very fair.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- That's our cunning David Harper, you see.- Yeah, that's quite a good buy.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17If the teams decide to go with it... That's it for the Reds.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Now, for the Blues, Holly and Josh.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24First up for them are their rather Cenotaph-looking book ends.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Yes, monumental, aren't they?
0:19:26 > 0:19:30- Yeah, I feel something in the way of a memorial coming on here.- Quite.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34- They do have quite a sort of military theme to them.- Yeah.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36What sort of estimate?
0:19:36 > 0:19:40- Not a great deal. £10 to £20, maybe? - Fair enough, £15 they paid.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41That's fair enough.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Now, the next item I think is absolutely splendid, which is
0:19:44 > 0:19:48the chair, which is that kind of classic Victorian,
0:19:48 > 0:19:53- button back, almost balloon shaped, little bedroom chair.- Um, value?
0:19:53 > 0:19:55- Yes.- £80 to £120.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Well, that's fantastic because they paid £70, actually.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59I think there's a profit in it at that.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01I think it's a dead cert profit.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05And, lastly, I think, an enchanting object - the little pincushion.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Lovely. Anything heart-shaped and silver is always popular,
0:20:08 > 0:20:11and particularly when it's in good condition, as this piece is.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14So, I would think that that is probably going to be £80 to £120.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18- £80 to £120? They paid £120.- Yeah.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21So, that might be a bit of a struggle.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25On the other hand, you're never far away from Valentine's Day, are you?
0:20:25 > 0:20:29- Or a suitable romantic moment? - Are you looking at me to buy that?
0:20:29 > 0:20:30Cos you can forget that!
0:20:30 > 0:20:33This team just might not need their bonus buy,
0:20:33 > 0:20:35but let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40- Now, you two love birds, you spent £205...- Yes, we did.
0:20:40 > 0:20:46- ..which is really Australian of you. And £95 went to Mark Stacey.- Yes.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47Did you blow the lot, Mark?
0:20:47 > 0:20:51- I didn't, no, but I bought a rather nice cabinet plate.- Wow!
0:20:51 > 0:20:53It's...actually, looking at the quality,
0:20:53 > 0:20:56you would think it was a big firm like Coalport or Royal Worcester,
0:20:56 > 0:20:59but it's made by a much smaller company called Bishop & Stonier.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02- What do you think?- That's quite striking. I really like it.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04- Do you want to know what I paid for it?- Well, yes.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06- £35.- OK.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09It should be worth £40 or £50, so there might be a small profit.
0:21:09 > 0:21:14- £35, that's your number anyway. - That's right.- £1,000!- 1,000!
0:21:14 > 0:21:17- Hmm, not quite!- You never know.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20In your dreams, Josh! Anyway, for the audience at home,
0:21:20 > 0:21:23let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Mark's little plate.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27So, Richard, your next...
0:21:27 > 0:21:31continental holiday sorted out. There's the view that you might see.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- I think we're nearer home than that. - Do you?
0:21:33 > 0:21:34I'm not sure that very far afield.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37I think that might be North Country, transfer-printed,
0:21:37 > 0:21:41and only, of course, a single plate. Not exceptional quality, sadly.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43How much?
0:21:43 > 0:21:44£20 to £30?
0:21:44 > 0:21:49£35 is Stacey's punt on this and it's his bonus buy,
0:21:49 > 0:21:52so, perhaps, our rather clever team here might not go with it.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54- Anyway, we shall see. You're taking the auction?- I am.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56We're in safe hands.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06- How are we, girls?- Very well, thank you.- Not at all shifty? No nerves?
0:22:06 > 0:22:10- No, no nerves.- Completely cool.- Yes. - That's what we like to hear.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11Next lot is yours.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14It's coming up right now and here is the Abbey bowl.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18£10 for it? £10 I see.
0:22:18 > 0:22:2012 now.
0:22:20 > 0:22:2415, 18, 20. £20. Lady's bid at 20.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- 22, 25.- You're in profit!
0:22:27 > 0:22:32No. 28. Gentleman's bid by the counter at 28 and I'm selling at £28.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34- More!- Last time... HAMMER FALLS
0:22:34 > 0:22:38- Well done, you lot. £28. - That's good!- Well...
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Lot 153 is a silver and enamel card case.
0:22:41 > 0:22:42Bids starts me at £50.
0:22:42 > 0:22:47- Good.- £50 we bid, £55, 60, £65 and I'm out.
0:22:47 > 0:22:52£65 now, by the counter and selling at £65. For the last time, at 65.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54HAMMER FALLS
0:22:54 > 0:22:59Wiped its face. £65. No profit, no loss. No shame, no gain.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01..is a cheese dish.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05£10 for it. Ten is bid quickly. Ten is bid. I'm selling at ten.
0:23:05 > 0:23:06Oh, no!
0:23:06 > 0:23:1115, 18, 20, 22, 25,
0:23:11 > 0:23:1325, the gentleman's bid. Any more?
0:23:13 > 0:23:17- Tim, that's awful. - It's not over yet.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20- Come on.- Come on.
0:23:20 > 0:23:25£50 by the counter. Selling at 50. For the last time then at £50.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27All done at 50 and I'm selling. HAMMER FALLS
0:23:27 > 0:23:31I'm afraid it is £50. That's a lot of Camembert on the floor.
0:23:31 > 0:23:36- That's minus £40. It's not your best Stilton moment, this.- No.
0:23:36 > 0:23:41- Overall, you're minus £32. OK. - Not so bad, really!- Minus £32.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44- It could have been better, David. - So, what are you going to do?
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- Are you going to go with the silver dispenser or not?- No.- Come on, Yvonne.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50In for a penny, in for a pound. Once upon a time, you were a confident,
0:23:50 > 0:23:53forward-looking woman, now you've become a gibbering wreck.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57What's the matter now? Eh? Go on, go for it.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59- Have a tickle.- Go on!
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Have a tickle. It's coming up now.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Seriously, you have to decide, darling. What are you going to do?
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Yes, you're going to do it?
0:24:06 > 0:24:08- Can we risk it?- Yes.- Good girl.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10DROWNED OUT BY LAUGHTER
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- Are you going to do it or not? - Yes, yes.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15They're going with the bonus buy. Here we go.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19Lot 160, £45 is bid. £50.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20SHE GASPS
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Oh, David!
0:24:22 > 0:24:23I don't believe it!
0:24:23 > 0:24:26I'm selling at 50. Any further bids at £50 to the absent bidder.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29For the last time at 50, then, all done.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Yes! That's the business. £50.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35What a great thing you made that decision, Yvonne.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39Didn't you do well there, Yvonne? That was so good. How good is that?
0:24:39 > 0:24:42- That is good.- Oh, that is.- You are plus £20 on that transaction.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46- Thank you.- Thank him. - I have!- Thank you.- I'll tell you...
0:24:46 > 0:24:47Anyway, listen...
0:24:47 > 0:24:51OK, that's enough of that, thanks very much. This is a daytime programme.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55- Well, who says...?- All right, Patricia. Now, you were minus £32.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58- You are now only minus £12. - Brilliant!
0:24:58 > 0:25:02So, the technique now is don't tell the Blues a thing. Right?
0:25:02 > 0:25:06Mum is the word. Not a thing. Well done, girls,
0:25:06 > 0:25:09and I'm so glad that you could make up your minds so decisively.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- Now, how are you doing? All right? - Great. Ready to go.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19I'll bet you're ready to go.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21I mean, this is a humming saleroom, I have to tell you.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Look at all this people here. It's fantastic, isn't it?
0:25:24 > 0:25:28The first lot up is your book ends modelled on the Cenotaph

0:25:40 > 0:25:41£20, we've made a profit.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45£25 to my right.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Selling at £25. At £25, all done.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51For the last time, 25 all done. HAMMER FALLS
0:25:51 > 0:25:53£25, that's a tenner, easy. See?
0:25:53 > 0:25:58Lot 182 is a Victorian easy chair by Holland & Son.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03Bids start me here at £45. 45 is bid. At 45,
0:26:03 > 0:26:05- 50, 55, 60, 65.- Come on.
0:26:05 > 0:26:1270. Bidding 75, 80, 85, 90...
0:26:12 > 0:26:1395, 100.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17You paid 70, you jammy toad!
0:26:17 > 0:26:20140, 150, 160.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23- Yes!- 170.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25180.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29No, £180. It's to my left at 180.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32And I'm selling it... Are you quite sure?
0:26:32 > 0:26:34- 190.- He's got another. 190. Good chap.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37- 200?- 200!- Wow!
0:26:37 > 0:26:39I'm selling.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43200 smackers. Josh, you should be in the business, mate. Plus £130.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Yes, that was my choice.
0:26:45 > 0:26:46THEY LAUGH
0:26:46 > 0:26:51- £130. That is really good. Now, sweet pea, it's down to you.- I know!
0:26:51 > 0:26:53- No pressure!- The silver ring box...
0:26:54 > 0:26:58..shown for you there. Thank you, Ruth. I'm bid £75 here.
0:26:58 > 0:27:03It's on commission. And I'm selling at 75. Any more? At £75.
0:27:03 > 0:27:0780 now to my left. At £80 and I'm selling.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11To my far left at 80, for the last time at £80. All done.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13HAMMER FALLS
0:27:13 > 0:27:16- OK.- £80.- Did he let that go for £80?
0:27:16 > 0:27:19- He did.- Where is the romance in Crewkerne?!- I know?!
0:27:19 > 0:27:23A heart-shaped jewel box going for £80?!
0:27:23 > 0:27:25It's a bit sad.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27- Well, it's not too bad. - Your chair was amazing!
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Well, I'm really sorry about that, darling,
0:27:30 > 0:27:33because I honestly thought it would do better. You know? It just shows.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36How can you predict this very strange business?
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Anyway, I'm afraid to say that you're minus £40 on that,
0:27:39 > 0:27:42but don't worry, because that only takes you down to £90...
0:27:42 > 0:27:45You're still £100 up. £100! I mean, that's cash in your back pocket.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48- That's amazing!- Listen, what about this bonus buy?
0:27:48 > 0:27:52- Are you going to go with the cabinet plate?- Oh!- It's £35.- I might...
0:27:52 > 0:27:56- I would say no...- I'd say leave it. - It's nothing personal.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00No, I won't take it personally. Cash is king, you know, so...
0:28:00 > 0:28:02- You're going to bank your money? - We are.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04- You're not going to twist. - Let's bank it.
0:28:04 > 0:28:05- Let's stick with it.- Yeah.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Thank you, but we'll definitely stick.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09I think they're determined, this couple.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11You're not going to go with the bonus buy.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13- No bonus buy, Mark.- No. - Don't take it personally, mate.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16- And up comes your plate, mate.- OK.
0:28:16 > 0:28:17Lot 189.
0:28:18 > 0:28:24Bids here start me at £15. £18, 20 I have, on commission. At £20 is bid.
0:28:24 > 0:28:29- 20.- 22 and I'm out. £22 now. At 22, lady's bid at £22.
0:28:29 > 0:28:34And I'm selling at £22 for the last time. All done at 22.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38- Good decision, then.- Minus £13.
0:28:38 > 0:28:39You banked your 100.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42- Well done.- Very good, very, very good.- I'm happy with that.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46- Very happy.- Now, don't tell the Reds a thing, right?- We won't.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49- Keep this quiet. In fact, go out looking rather gloomy.- We will.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53- I might start crying. - Oh, no! Don't cry!
0:28:53 > 0:28:56So, a healthy profit of £100 for the Blues, making them
0:28:56 > 0:29:00the winners as, remember, the Reds made a loss of £12.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05'Coming up, two more teams go on the hunt for bargains,
0:29:05 > 0:29:07'but first, I'm off to somewhere rather grand.'
0:29:22 > 0:29:27Imagine you were heir to a palatial Palladian pad
0:29:27 > 0:29:29like Stourhead.
0:29:29 > 0:29:30Think how chuffed you'd be
0:29:30 > 0:29:34and if you were anything like the owners of this place for
0:29:34 > 0:29:39over 200 years, you'd want to add a personal touch or two of your own.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42Oh, yes! Morning!
0:29:42 > 0:29:45In the early 1700s, wealthy banker Henry Hoare bought an estate
0:29:45 > 0:29:50in Wiltshire for a sum of £1,400 and commissioned fashionable architect
0:29:50 > 0:29:54Colen Campbell to create the magnificent Palladian villa
0:29:54 > 0:29:55we see here today.
0:29:56 > 0:30:02This was the ancestral home of the Hoare family for the next 230 years.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06Such was the prestige and wealth of the family,
0:30:06 > 0:30:11that it guaranteed a never-ending flow of high quality works of art,
0:30:11 > 0:30:13paintings and furniture to the house,
0:30:13 > 0:30:17and one of the most enthusiastic patrons was
0:30:17 > 0:30:21Henry Hoare's great-grandson, Sir Richard Colt Hoare.
0:30:21 > 0:30:25A scholarly and artistic man with an appreciation of
0:30:25 > 0:30:30classical culture, he created this magnificent regency library in 1802,
0:30:30 > 0:30:35and today, much of it remains exactly as intended.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38His appreciation of classical Italy is most keenly
0:30:38 > 0:30:43illustrated on the end wall of the library, because here we've got
0:30:43 > 0:30:50a series of lunette panels, which are made of stained glass.
0:30:50 > 0:30:54These stained glass panels are illuminated naturally by daylight,
0:30:54 > 0:30:56which is coming through windows on the other side,
0:30:56 > 0:31:00and what we have here is a scene that is taken from
0:31:00 > 0:31:05Raphael's Cartoon in the Vatican, which shows the School of Athens.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09What's great about these panels is that they were
0:31:09 > 0:31:12created by an artist called Francis Eginton,
0:31:12 > 0:31:17and he invented a method of producing mechanical pictures,
0:31:17 > 0:31:22so each of these sheets of glass are clear glass that this man has
0:31:22 > 0:31:25decorated with coloured stains on the reverse,
0:31:25 > 0:31:28but what's so brilliant about these pictures is,
0:31:28 > 0:31:32because they're on panels of glass, they haven't faded,
0:31:32 > 0:31:35they haven't deteriorated in any way, and the colours that we
0:31:35 > 0:31:38see coming through this classically inspired
0:31:38 > 0:31:43theme are exactly as bright as they would have been for Colt Hoare when
0:31:43 > 0:31:48he sat here and enjoyed the window when it was completed in 1805.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Meanwhile, back at Shepton Mallet,
0:31:50 > 0:31:54will our two teams be able to shed some light on a few bargains?
0:31:54 > 0:31:58Time to meet our next pair of Reds and Blues.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02Today, we have two teams of very, very, very good friends.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05Well, at least, they're good friends now.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07For the Reds we've got Audrey and Jenny,
0:32:07 > 0:32:09and, for the Blues, Moira and Shelley.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12- Welcome to Bargain Hunt, teams. - Thank you.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15Now, what's this I hear about you two being crazy ladies?
0:32:15 > 0:32:18- Oh, you could say that. Very true.- Very true.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21We want to live life to the full, so we're crazy.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24Audrey, you're the joint captain of the mixed
0:32:24 > 0:32:26- Weston-super-Mare Skittles team. - That's right!
0:32:26 > 0:32:29So, that means you're playing with the boys. Is that right?
0:32:29 > 0:32:31That's right. That's even more fun.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33- THEY LAUGH - Yeah, absolutely.
0:32:33 > 0:32:37- It says here, Audrey, that you're a great antique lover.- Oh, lovely.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40- Yes, I love antiques.- Do you?- Mmm! - What do you like most?
0:32:40 > 0:32:42I love crystal.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45- I have a bit of Clarice Cliff and Gladrow.- Yes.
0:32:45 > 0:32:50- And, on the non-antique, I've got a lot of soft toys.- Do you?
0:32:50 > 0:32:52- Soft toys. You'll not be going for those today, I hope.- No way.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54What about you, Jenny? Are you a hoarder, darling?
0:32:54 > 0:32:57- Oh, no, I'm very normal, me.- It says here you like garden benches.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00- I like antiques, but I can't afford them.- Oh, I see.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02But you're going to have a good time on today's programme?
0:33:02 > 0:33:05Oh, definitely, yes. I know what I'm looking at, you see.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07- You know what you're looking at? - Yes.- You do? Oh, that's good.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09- I watch all these programmes of yours.- Ah.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12You've learnt everything you know from my programmes!
0:33:12 > 0:33:13THEY LAUGH
0:33:13 > 0:33:17Yes. Well, I think you're going to do very well on Bargain Hunt.
0:33:17 > 0:33:22Now, girls, on a different plane, you two met in a book club.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24- Is that right?- Well, we met in a design agency, actually,
0:33:24 > 0:33:27but we do run our own book club.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30Um, I say book club, well, we don't read that many books.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34- We do a lot of eating and drinking and gossiping.- Do you?
0:33:34 > 0:33:37If you bring Maltesers and a bottle of wine,
0:33:37 > 0:33:39then you'd be very welcome to our book club.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42Now, Moira, you're a published author in your own right.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Tell us about it.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48I'm a children's author, I went to work in publishing in 1982,
0:33:48 > 0:33:51uh, I worked my way through a number of companies
0:33:51 > 0:33:53- and I've been freelance for about 20 years.- Right.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55So, what do you do now in your spare time?
0:33:55 > 0:34:00Well, I took up cycling in 2005 and I actually cycled through Rajasthan
0:34:00 > 0:34:04in India with 70 other ladies in 2007,
0:34:04 > 0:34:07raising money for medical research.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Quite an organisation, that. Well, well done.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12And, Shelley, are you a great cyclist, darling?
0:34:12 > 0:34:15No, I used to cycle quite a bit,
0:34:15 > 0:34:18but these day I'm much more of a party girl. I like my karaoke!
0:34:18 > 0:34:23- Karaoke! Do you have karaoke parties?- Yeah, we do. All the time.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26We've gradually gone up in karaoke style.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28We started off with a funny little machine
0:34:28 > 0:34:32- and we now have a full professional kit.- Do you? Gosh! What fun!
0:34:32 > 0:34:36Now, the money moment. £300 apiece, girls. There you go - £300.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39You know the rules, your experts await and off you go and
0:34:39 > 0:34:40very, very, very good luck.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46'So, three items with one hour to find them.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49'Couldn't be simpler, could it?'
0:34:49 > 0:34:52- Yeah...- Is it a little ashtray? - It's a little ashtray or
0:34:52 > 0:34:53- it could be a pin tray.- A pin tray.
0:34:53 > 0:34:57- But what I like about him is the dog.- It's the original...
0:34:57 > 0:35:00- He's not been messed about with, has he?- I don't think so.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04- Is it smelter or is it bronze?- No, it's smelter.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06- Smelter?- No, it isn't.
0:35:06 > 0:35:11He's cold painted, meaning...that he was painted when he was cold.
0:35:11 > 0:35:12He hasn't been fired,
0:35:12 > 0:35:15which means that the paint will rub off very easily.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18- He's not bad, is he?- He's not bad at all. He's actually quite sweet.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21- Yes, quite sweet.- That's quite nice. Yeah.- I think it's continental.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23- Shall we get a price?- Yeah.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26What's the absolute death on that?
0:35:26 > 0:35:29- 55.- 55? Is that really the death?
0:35:29 > 0:35:31- It is, really. - Well, what do you think?
0:35:31 > 0:35:35Well, I think it might do that in a sale, but, um...
0:35:35 > 0:35:37it also might not.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40- No, it's a bit much, isn't it? - It'd be nice for 30, I think.- Yeah.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42What about 30?
0:35:42 > 0:35:45- I can't do it, I'm afraid. Honestly...- 30 quid?
0:35:45 > 0:35:4750 quid, the absolute death on it.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49It is a bronze one, they're nearly always smelter.
0:35:49 > 0:35:50What do you think?
0:35:52 > 0:35:54- SHE SIGHS - But it is bronze.- It is bronze.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57It is cold painted and it's quality and it's a dog.
0:35:57 > 0:36:02So, it would appeal to several people. It's not just a one...
0:36:02 > 0:36:05- First buy!- Go on.- Cor, you are a pair of devils.
0:36:05 > 0:36:06We'll have it at that. Thanks a lot.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09'Woof! Woof! Devils they are and quite decisive
0:36:09 > 0:36:12'since that's one in the bag for the Reds.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15'Let's sniff out the Blues and see if they're lifting their legs.'
0:36:15 > 0:36:17Glass? Let's go and have a look.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20It's you and your colourful glass again, isn't it?
0:36:20 > 0:36:23- You're obsessed with it.- It's very colourful. It looks very modern.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26Well, do you want to lift it up? I can't tell from over there.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28I don't think it's terribly... Lime glass with red handles?
0:36:28 > 0:36:30- Not terribly old? - I don't think it's very old.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33I don't think it's very old, but it's quite funky, isn't it?
0:36:33 > 0:36:36If you like bright colours in a bathroom or kitchen.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38- I'm not sure about that. - You're not sure about it?
0:36:38 > 0:36:40- 'Me neither.'- Shall we consider it as a possible
0:36:40 > 0:36:43and then we can always come back to it if we don't find another?
0:36:43 > 0:36:46'Well, girls, you do need to start making some decisions,
0:36:46 > 0:36:50'because you haven't bought anything yet.'
0:36:50 > 0:36:52I don't want to panic you, ladies, but I think we need to
0:36:52 > 0:36:57sort of start, you know, formulating a plan of action here, you know.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03- Look, lovely glassware.- Do you want to look inside that?- I think we do.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05Well, let's go and have a look.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08- Oh, it's quite fun, isn't it? - I do like these. It is quite heavy.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10Do you think...? Is it modern?
0:37:10 > 0:37:12I don't think it is, you know, I think it's Art Deco.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16Late 1930s with these lovely sort of angelfish going around it
0:37:16 > 0:37:19- and you can see all the moulding. - It's got a crack in it.- Oh, has it?
0:37:19 > 0:37:24- Where?- Or is that the seam?- No, no, that... No, these are moulded.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26- These are moulded glass.- Right, OK.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Do you want to ask how much the bowl is?
0:37:28 > 0:37:32We'd like to know the price of this? What's your best price?
0:37:32 > 0:37:35- Eh...what price have I got on it, madam?- There's no price. It's free!
0:37:35 > 0:37:39Oh, it's free! I'll have to consult my colleague.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42Ally, what is the best price on that Art Deco bowl?
0:37:42 > 0:37:47- What have we got on it?- Nothing, it's free.- Right.- It's free!
0:37:49 > 0:37:51- It'd be 35.- Is it?
0:37:51 > 0:37:5225 for us?
0:37:53 > 0:37:56- Yeah, go on.- Yeah? Do you think that's OK?
0:37:56 > 0:37:58Well, if you're happy with it. I always like dealing in
0:37:58 > 0:38:00- round figures.- Well, it'd be 30 then.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04I meant 20 because it's a nice round figure, cos we've got to sell
0:38:04 > 0:38:06- it in auction, you see.- Yeah.- 20.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09Well, I think we're going to hook that one in, aren't we?
0:38:09 > 0:38:11- Yeah, lovely. - We've caught ourselves a bowl.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17'So, both teams have one item in the bag, but time is ticking away.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19'Now, have the Reds found something
0:38:19 > 0:38:22'that will really fly in the auction?'
0:38:22 > 0:38:23Isn't that lovely?
0:38:23 > 0:38:28- That is really, really sweet. - Woo!- Oh, I say!
0:38:28 > 0:38:29It's even better!
0:38:29 > 0:38:32I think that's French. What's he made out of?
0:38:32 > 0:38:34OK, so some kind of plaster.
0:38:34 > 0:38:35I really rate that.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39- So, that's, I would think, 1920s, 1930s - very, very stylish.- Yeah.
0:38:39 > 0:38:40I love the colour.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44You wouldn't want it looking bright and garish like it did 80 years ago.
0:38:44 > 0:38:48- That's aged and that's nice. - I really rate that, I really do.
0:38:48 > 0:38:49What's the absolute death on...?
0:38:49 > 0:38:54- 45.- 45? Oh, come on, be kind.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56It needs a good home and look at these two.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59- They'll give it a good home. - Well...38, then.
0:38:59 > 0:39:0238? What about 30?
0:39:02 > 0:39:04I can't. I can't do 30.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06- 35?- 35?- 35?
0:39:06 > 0:39:08- All right, yes, we can do it for 35.- Well done.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11- 35, happy?- 35, yes.- Me too.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14Right, well, get your hand in your jazzy trousers, Audrey,
0:39:14 > 0:39:16- and go and give the lady some money. - Right.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19'I think Audrey's trousers hypnotised that dealer.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23'Still, onwards and upwards, and the Blues have some catching up to do.'
0:39:25 > 0:39:28- So, what have you found here, girls? - We love bowling balls.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31- Look how beautiful they are. - They're wonderful, aren't they?
0:39:31 > 0:39:33- I love this sort of thing. - They come in a box.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35They're lovely that they've got the box and everything.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38And I love them cos I think they really are tactile objects.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40- And you get some free spoons with them.- Yes, I see that.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43Bowling spoons, which is great, actually.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45So, we really, really like these.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48I mean, we really need to get them down to somewhere near £40.
0:39:50 > 0:39:55- I can't do it. I can do them for about 55.- What do you think?
0:39:55 > 0:39:58- Yeah, I think they're fun. - You both like them.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00- And I have to just warn you of time. - They're in lovely condition.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03OK, we'll take them. I'm really pleased about those. They're lovely.
0:40:03 > 0:40:04Thank you.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07'It's all a lot of bowls to me.
0:40:07 > 0:40:11'So, another item for the Blues, but, with 20 minutes left,
0:40:11 > 0:40:13'both teams still have £200 to spend.
0:40:13 > 0:40:17'Has David found something for the Reds to blow it all on?'
0:40:17 > 0:40:18Yes, I love it.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20How's she fitted on?
0:40:20 > 0:40:22Oh, I don't care how she's fitted on. I like it!
0:40:22 > 0:40:24THEY LAUGH
0:40:24 > 0:40:26I'm just wondering if it's missing anything.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28Often you see these French pieces made out of marble and with
0:40:28 > 0:40:31figurines and you might find them in garniture sets,
0:40:31 > 0:40:33so there'll be three items together.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36- Something in here, you mean? - No. I'm just wondering.
0:40:36 > 0:40:37- A tray?- Oh, yes, yes.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39It could possibly be missing a tray.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41Let's turn her upside down without her falling off.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43So, let me just grab her.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45Now, there are the square,
0:40:45 > 0:40:49obviously kind of hand-cut nut fixings, there.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52- She is nice, isn't she?- Hi, there. What have you got on this one?
0:40:52 > 0:40:54Very best, uh...
0:40:54 > 0:40:55£55.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59- Is that the absolute death? - The absolute death - a £50 note.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01- 50?- A £50 note.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04- Would 40 buy it?- No, that's...
0:41:04 > 0:41:07Honestly, £50 is the cut off.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09Do you think there's mileage in it?
0:41:09 > 0:41:11I do, and I think at the right sale, I really do.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14- If you're happy, let's have it.- I'm happy, let's go for it.- We're happy.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17Right, excellent. We'll have it, thanks. 50 quid, that it.
0:41:17 > 0:41:18And we've got...
0:41:18 > 0:41:22- 15 minutes left.- Oh, gosh!- What are we going to do for 15 minutes?
0:41:22 > 0:41:2415 minutes? I could mention something, but I won't!
0:41:24 > 0:41:27- THEY LAUGH - Hmm...cheeky! Look out, David!
0:41:27 > 0:41:29'However, back in the real world,
0:41:29 > 0:41:32'the Blues still can't make up their minds.'
0:41:32 > 0:41:34I'm really impressed. That is silver, actually,
0:41:34 > 0:41:37- that's Georgian silver.- I love that. How much is that?- I don't know.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39Do you want to ask the dealer?
0:41:39 > 0:41:41- How much would this be, please?- 150.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44It's an English hallmark from London, 1821.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47I like it, but not enough.
0:41:47 > 0:41:48Ooh, it's hard, isn't it?
0:41:48 > 0:41:52- This is...- It's a wonderful colour, isn't it?- Yes! Is it a milk dish?
0:41:52 > 0:41:53Yes, it is.
0:41:53 > 0:41:57- What do you think?- No?- I... - We've still got plenty of time.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00- No, I don't... - Well, we haven't really, actually.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03'That's right, Mark. The pressure's really on and time's ticking.'
0:42:04 > 0:42:06I'm coming. I'm coming.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14- Wow! What's that?- Oh, that's lovely.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16Well, it's to do with books.
0:42:16 > 0:42:20I wonder what it was for. Do you think it was from a church?
0:42:20 > 0:42:21From a school, perhaps.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23I love the little plaque there, "Literature," don't you?
0:42:23 > 0:42:26- Isn't that fun? - What are the legs like?
0:42:26 > 0:42:28Well, they're almost arts and crafts.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30- You said you like arts and crafts, don't you?- I do.
0:42:30 > 0:42:31I think that's smashing.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34We're quite interested in this. Can we negotiate over it, do you think?
0:42:34 > 0:42:37You can negotiate. You can always negotiate.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39Because it's one of those things. I think it's really quirky,
0:42:39 > 0:42:42but we're selling it at auction, as you know, so we don't want to
0:42:42 > 0:42:45be too mean to you. I mean, could you do it for 80, do you think?
0:42:45 > 0:42:47- No.- No?- Definitely not.
0:42:47 > 0:42:48Can you do it for 110?
0:42:48 > 0:42:51No, sorry. 120 is the absolute death on it. I'm sorry.
0:42:51 > 0:42:55- It's your call, girls, really. It's unusual, isn't it?- It is unusual.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57I think it's really great. I love it.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00I think we should definitely go for it. I think it's a lovely piece.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03'But will it write them a profit at auction?
0:43:03 > 0:43:04'We'll find out later.'
0:43:04 > 0:43:08Time's up. Let's remind ourselves what the Reds have bought.
0:43:08 > 0:43:12First up, the Reds walked away with a bronze dog on an onyx tray,
0:43:12 > 0:43:16but were they barking paying £50 for it?
0:43:16 > 0:43:18Next, they took an illuminating decision,
0:43:18 > 0:43:22spending £35 on a cherub flying light.
0:43:24 > 0:43:27And, finally, they bared all, picking up another tray,
0:43:27 > 0:43:29this time mounted with a nude lady.
0:43:30 > 0:43:33Now, listen, how much did you spend overall?
0:43:33 > 0:43:39- Uh, 135, I think. Yeah.- You spent £135. So, I want £160...I want £165.
0:43:39 > 0:43:42- There you go, there you are. - £165, sir.- Check it?
0:43:42 > 0:43:44No, I'm not going to check it, I trust you, girls.
0:43:44 > 0:43:48- Oh, isn't that nice?- Millions wouldn't.- I'll be checking it.
0:43:48 > 0:43:50- Yes, you will be! - I've been spending time with them!
0:43:50 > 0:43:53Rumour has it that you bonded out really rather nicely, David.
0:43:53 > 0:43:55Yeah, I think we've bonded quite well, girls, haven't we?
0:43:55 > 0:43:58- We have, definitely.- Yes. - So, that's always nice, isn't it?
0:43:58 > 0:44:00- So, that's quite a lot of cash. - Yeah, a lot of cash.
0:44:00 > 0:44:03- And what are you going to do in this busy fair?- Well, I'm going to
0:44:03 > 0:44:06move on from this corner, because I think we've probably walked about
0:44:06 > 0:44:0820 paces and bought our three items,
0:44:08 > 0:44:10so I'm going to explore the rest of the fair.
0:44:10 > 0:44:13Well, I've just walked about five miles around about,
0:44:13 > 0:44:16- and I'll tell you, there's a long old distance.- I know.
0:44:16 > 0:44:18- So, you better nip along and good luck, David.- Thanks, girls.
0:44:18 > 0:44:23- See you later.- Why don't we check out how the Blues are getting on, eh?
0:44:23 > 0:44:27'The Blues served up a glass fruit bowl, decorated with angelfish,
0:44:27 > 0:44:29'for £20.
0:44:29 > 0:44:33'They're hoping to roll in a profit with a set of wooden bowls
0:44:33 > 0:44:36'and the three bonus spoons.
0:44:36 > 0:44:40'And, finally, they stumped up £120 for an oak book trough.'
0:44:41 > 0:44:45£195 you spent altogether, which is a brilliant total, I have to say.
0:44:45 > 0:44:48- I'd like £105 of leftover dosh, please.- Here you go.
0:44:48 > 0:44:50Oh, thank you very much. That's £105.
0:44:50 > 0:44:54We won't count it cos we trust you. £105 goes to Mark Stacey.
0:44:54 > 0:44:57£105 is a lot of money, so I think I've got a few ideas,
0:44:57 > 0:45:00but they'll be very difficult to please, these two.
0:45:00 > 0:45:03- Have they been difficult throughout? - They've... You know, they've...
0:45:03 > 0:45:06They've had their moments. But at the last minute, they pulled it off.
0:45:06 > 0:45:08Did they? What off?
0:45:08 > 0:45:09HE LAUGHS
0:45:09 > 0:45:11Well, he's disappeared. He can't stand it any more.
0:45:11 > 0:45:15- The difficult ones? - Oh, I know. The cheek!- What?
0:45:15 > 0:45:19- Is this the pot calling the whatnot black?- Yeah, absolutely. Oh, yes.
0:45:19 > 0:45:22MUSIC: "Lust For Life" by Tom Jones
0:45:32 > 0:45:34Well, we've remained in the county of Somerset,
0:45:34 > 0:45:36mainly come to Crewkerne
0:45:36 > 0:45:40to Lawrences saleroom to be with Richard Kay, our auctioneer today.
0:45:40 > 0:45:42- Richard, extremely nice to see you.- Hello, Tim.
0:45:42 > 0:45:46Now, Audrey and Jenny went with this cold-painted little hound.
0:45:46 > 0:45:49Little dogs on a little tray like that, little onyx tray,
0:45:49 > 0:45:50quite a popular little thing. I think
0:45:50 > 0:45:53- they're probably barking up the right tree with that one.- How much?
0:45:53 > 0:45:58- £80 to £120.- Good Lord! They only paid £50.- That seems very fair.
0:45:58 > 0:46:01- They'll do all right with that. - Next is this cherub light job.
0:46:01 > 0:46:03Does that grab you, Richard?
0:46:03 > 0:46:07It's got a sort of rococo nonsense about it.
0:46:07 > 0:46:10It's a shame that it's modern and it's a light fitting.
0:46:10 > 0:46:12- And it's made of plaster. - And it's made of plaster.
0:46:12 > 0:46:14I don't think it's got a lot going for it, I'm afraid.
0:46:14 > 0:46:16What do you think it might bring?
0:46:16 > 0:46:18Not that I'd pay it, but £15-20, maybe.
0:46:18 > 0:46:19- Really? £35 they paid.- Yeah.
0:46:19 > 0:46:24But there is redemption in sight because next up is this
0:46:24 > 0:46:28very nice Breche marble dished base.
0:46:28 > 0:46:32Is it a bit mean-spirited to say that she is not terribly well-modelled?
0:46:32 > 0:46:34- Although it is bronze and it is on marble.- Yes.
0:46:34 > 0:46:36And it's a good, big slab of marble, too.
0:46:36 > 0:46:38And it's not chipped or cracked either.
0:46:38 > 0:46:42- I think that might make £80-120. - You don't!- I do.
0:46:42 > 0:46:44- Really?- Mm.- £50 paid.
0:46:44 > 0:46:47No, I think £50 is not a lot. You'd pay retail for something like that.
0:46:47 > 0:46:51We've got two predictions here of quite reasonable profits.
0:46:51 > 0:46:53Two quite promising and one that might go bottoms up.
0:46:53 > 0:46:54On that happy note,
0:46:54 > 0:46:57we'll go and have a look at the bonus buy, I think.
0:46:57 > 0:46:59- Oh.- Oh, that's lovely.
0:46:59 > 0:47:02- Do you like it?- I've seen them before, yes. They're lovely.
0:47:02 > 0:47:05A bit of class for a couple of classy ladies.
0:47:05 > 0:47:08- That's exactly what I thought when I saw it.- Look at that.
0:47:08 > 0:47:11It's Royal Crown Derby so it's got the stamp of quality.
0:47:11 > 0:47:14- But you can buy them new. - I've seen the catalogue.- Have you?
0:47:14 > 0:47:19- So how much do they sell for new, do you know?- That would be about 175.
0:47:19 > 0:47:22- Probably about right.- How much of our money did you spend?
0:47:22 > 0:47:24- I spent £30 on a little bunny. - THEY GASP
0:47:24 > 0:47:27- Oh, that's good.- Anyway, girls, you don't decide now.
0:47:27 > 0:47:29You decide after the sale of your first three items
0:47:29 > 0:47:31but, for the viewers at home,
0:47:31 > 0:47:35let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about David's little rabbit.
0:47:35 > 0:47:38It's a nice little piece but being modern I think it's going
0:47:38 > 0:47:41- to have a rather narrower market than an older piece would have.- Yes.
0:47:41 > 0:47:43The rabbit might save it, I think.
0:47:43 > 0:47:45What do you think it might bring in the auction?
0:47:45 > 0:47:48Well, I think it might only be £15-20, I'm afraid.
0:47:48 > 0:47:50Well, thank goodness David Harper didn't go bonkers
0:47:50 > 0:47:53cos he only paid £30 for it and he might just get out of trouble.
0:47:53 > 0:47:56- He might just.- Excellent. Anyway, that's it for the Reds.
0:47:56 > 0:48:01Now for the Blues, who've got a similarly eclectic mix.
0:48:01 > 0:48:04The Art Deco and amber glass fruit bowl.
0:48:04 > 0:48:08I think it's very much a piece of the 1930s, which is appealing.
0:48:08 > 0:48:12People certainly like that. I think that could be worth £15-25.
0:48:12 > 0:48:14- Great. £20 paid.- That seems fair. - They paid a modest price.
0:48:14 > 0:48:18I fancy slightly more difficult territory is ahead,
0:48:18 > 0:48:22- though, with this box of bowls. - It's an odd combination.
0:48:22 > 0:48:24Particularly to only have three spoons with four bowls.
0:48:24 > 0:48:28- I feel that something is missing there. £30-50.- £55 paid.
0:48:28 > 0:48:32Now, rather more intriguingly is their final item.
0:48:32 > 0:48:37- This book trough, if it is a book trough.- It's very odd, isn't it?
0:48:37 > 0:48:41- It looks like it was designed to sit in a hall or a...- Corporation.
0:48:41 > 0:48:44- ..library or something.- Yes. And how much do you think it is worth?
0:48:44 > 0:48:48- I think that could make £70 to £100. - OK, they paid £120.
0:48:48 > 0:48:51So it's got to be sufficiently intriguing to take the potential
0:48:51 > 0:48:54bidder those few extra stages forward
0:48:54 > 0:48:55if it's going to make a profit.
0:48:55 > 0:48:58If it doesn't, they're going to need the bonus buy so let's go
0:48:58 > 0:49:00and have a look at it.
0:49:00 > 0:49:02- Oh!- Look at that.
0:49:02 > 0:49:07This is loosely an Arts And Crafts mirror from the sort of 1900s,
0:49:07 > 0:49:11early 1900s. I mean, it's not the best of its type.
0:49:11 > 0:49:13I mean, I would have liked some sort of enamelling on there or
0:49:13 > 0:49:16something, but you have got those little beaten panels
0:49:16 > 0:49:19- and I thought it was rather nice. - Yes, it's very stylish.
0:49:19 > 0:49:21- It is, isn't it? - Can I just take one end, Mark?
0:49:21 > 0:49:25I think it is quite nice to just feel the weight of it.
0:49:25 > 0:49:28You get hold of one end. It's quite a lumpy thing, isn't it?
0:49:28 > 0:49:33- It is quite a lumpy thing, Tim. I quite like it.- How much did you pay?
0:49:33 > 0:49:36- £30.- Wow.- Really?- Which I thought was quite a good buy. 30.
0:49:36 > 0:49:39Any predictions as to how much you think it might make, Mark?
0:49:39 > 0:49:41Well, I certainly would be disappointed
0:49:41 > 0:49:43- if it made under 50, Tim.- Right.
0:49:43 > 0:49:44I think there is a £20 profit there.
0:49:44 > 0:49:48That is the voice of confidence coming from behind.
0:49:48 > 0:49:50Just hold on to that thought.
0:49:50 > 0:49:52For the viewers at home, though,
0:49:52 > 0:49:55let's check out what the auctioneer thinks about Mark's mirror.
0:49:55 > 0:50:00It's a nice thing, this. And 1920, something like that, in date.
0:50:00 > 0:50:03Good condition. Shows signs of its age but nothing wrong with that.
0:50:03 > 0:50:08People do like this sort of Arts And Crafts copper metalware.
0:50:08 > 0:50:10I should think that might be £30-40.
0:50:10 > 0:50:14Well, Mark Stacey rather cunningly only paid £30 for it.
0:50:14 > 0:50:16On that optimistic note, let's wait and see what happens.

0:56:31 > 0:56:35Well, it is lovely to have two teams who are looking incredibly
0:56:35 > 0:56:38confident that they are both winners today.
0:56:38 > 0:56:42Because, of course, both teams have made substantial profits.
0:56:42 > 0:56:46Well, I have to reveal, for them, to put them out of their agony, that
0:56:46 > 0:56:50the runners-up today, very sadly, just so happen to be the Reds.
0:56:50 > 0:56:52- Oh!- Oh!- Oh!
0:56:52 > 0:56:58I mean, irrespective of having your 35 smackers' worth of profit.
0:56:58 > 0:57:02£35 worth of profit, which is brilliant, isn't it?
0:57:02 > 0:57:05I mean, nice little string of profits through all of this.
0:57:05 > 0:57:08You went with the bonus buy, got a profit out of that, which is great.
0:57:08 > 0:57:11The marble tray, which I loved. You made a nice £35 profit on that.
0:57:11 > 0:57:15- You made a profit on that cherub thing.- Yes!- Look at his face.
0:57:15 > 0:57:19Just remind him of the cherub. They are all lighting up.
0:57:19 > 0:57:23- Don't let him forget.- That terrible object.- It made my day, that did.
0:57:23 > 0:57:26It's made your month, actually. No, £35 worth of profit.
0:57:26 > 0:57:29- Have you had a nice time? - Lovely, thanks.- Oh, fabulous.
0:57:29 > 0:57:32Because you have been what they call divine contestants,
0:57:32 > 0:57:33I have to tell you.
0:57:33 > 0:57:36It's been a real treat meeting you and you've been thoroughly
0:57:36 > 0:57:39sporting and an enormous amount of fun, but not good enough to
0:57:39 > 0:57:45beat the Blues, who are going to go home with £135 worth of profit.
0:57:45 > 0:57:52£135. Now, that's what they call folding money, isn't it?
0:57:52 > 0:57:55You had done really badly in every respect.
0:57:55 > 0:57:57It's minus, minus, minus, minus,
0:57:57 > 0:58:00until we come to a book trough.
0:58:00 > 0:58:04And the book trough sold for £300. A very, very good result.
0:58:04 > 0:58:06- Big surprise.- Yes. - It was a big surprise.
0:58:06 > 0:58:10- And it's been a hoot, actually. - Good.- It's been a hoot knowing you.
0:58:10 > 0:58:11And I hope you had a lovely day.
0:58:11 > 0:58:15- And join us soon for some more bargain-hunting, yes?- ALL: Yes!
