0:00:02 > 0:00:05Today we're at The People's Palace, good old Ally Pally,
0:00:05 > 0:00:07and it's crammed full of antiques and collectibles
0:00:07 > 0:00:09so let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Coming up...
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Panic at the fair.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51It was down here, it was down here!
0:00:53 > 0:00:56And breath-holding in the saleroom.
0:00:58 > 0:01:04That is all to come. But first let me tell you that on Bargain Hunt today it's double-up day.
0:01:04 > 0:01:09Instead of giving out £300 to our teams we're going to give them £600.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12And the usual hour to find their three items.
0:01:12 > 0:01:17And of course the team that makes the most profit later at auction wins.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Right now though, let's meet today's teams.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Hello, and welcome to Bargain Hunt.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Today we've got two teams -
0:01:28 > 0:01:32one team of friends, and a team of sisters.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37For the Reds, we've got friends Renee and "Jenee". Actually, Jenny.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40And for the Blues, we've got Freya and Tamara.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- Hi, guys.- Hi.- Hi.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Hi...
0:01:44 > 0:01:46- Bonjour.- Bonjour. - Enchantee.- Enchante!
0:01:46 > 0:01:49We have a foreign contingent here.
0:01:49 > 0:01:50Exactly.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Renee, how long have you and Jenny been friends?
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Er, about 40 years.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56Where did you meet?
0:01:56 > 0:02:00We had a mutual friend who was living near me,
0:02:00 > 0:02:04and who moved afterwards to live in Putney
0:02:04 > 0:02:09and met Jenny because their daughters were at school together.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Ah, how lovely. I can't tell you
0:02:11 > 0:02:14how much I love your accent too, I've never heard "Putney"
0:02:14 > 0:02:16so beautifully said as "Put-nee".
0:02:16 > 0:02:19"Put-nee".
0:02:19 > 0:02:23- What part of France are you from? - I am from the Alps, Grenoble,
0:02:23 > 0:02:27but I have lived a long time near the lake of Geneva.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31- Have you?- Yes. And it was beautiful. - And what dragged to our ugly shores?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Er...my husband.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Oh, did he? Where did you meet him?
0:02:35 > 0:02:36I met him in Grenoble.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40He was studying, and I was nursing,
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- and we just met and er...- Caramba.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- Yes.- Yes, the rest is history. - The rest is history.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- What about you, Jenny? Are you retired?- Thankfully.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53- What did you use to do? - I was an estate agent. Everybody likes to hate us.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55I don't know why, really,
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- it's a funny thing, isn't it? - No, neither do I.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01But you know a lot about the psychology of house buying, don't you?
0:03:01 > 0:03:05Yes, you learn to read people...
0:03:05 > 0:03:10and it's quite a knack that you can actually feel when
0:03:10 > 0:03:12someone is really interested in a property
0:03:12 > 0:03:17and that they're going to proceed with it and...they do. It's just nice.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Sounds pretty good to me. So how do you think you're going to get on today?
0:03:20 > 0:03:22- We're going to win. - What, just like that?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24- Just like that.- Win a lot of money.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27These girls don't look very scared by that, I have to say.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29- No, we ARE scared. - Oh, you are scared.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31You don't look scared!
0:03:31 > 0:03:34So, what are your winning techniques then, Jenny?
0:03:34 > 0:03:35Are you going to buy quality?
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Yes, we hope to buy quality.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41- Well, you've got enough money to do it, haven't you?- We certainly have.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- Well, I hope you have a wonderful time.- Thank you very much.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Now we move over to the sisters.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50So, girls...what do you think about that fighting talk? Are you scared?
0:03:50 > 0:03:52- Yes.- Are you really?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Yeah, you've put two pros against two clowns.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Would you say that this is age and experience
0:03:58 > 0:04:02- and this is youth and enthusiasm? - We're hoping a bit of luck as well.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Now, Freya, what do you do for a living?
0:04:04 > 0:04:09I work in a small theatre that specialises in experimental and devised theatre.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- Do you?- Yeah.- And did you study that at university or something?
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Er, I did an MA in visual media for performance...
0:04:15 > 0:04:17- Well, you're going to love it today. - Yeah!
0:04:17 > 0:04:20This is a girl that knows all about all this stuff.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23And how much television have you done, please?
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- Er...not very much. - Not very much.- No.
0:04:26 > 0:04:27But you do perform?
0:04:27 > 0:04:31Yeah. I'm writing a show with my brother at the moment
0:04:31 > 0:04:34which we're going to be performing at Edinburgh,
0:04:34 > 0:04:36called Death by Gameshow!
0:04:36 > 0:04:41You dare wear your Bargain Hunt shirt in Death by Gameshow...!
0:04:41 > 0:04:47- Anyway, this is not a gameshow. This is a professional affair!- Yeah.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- Well, that sounds fun. Are you doing that at the Fringe then?- Yeah.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52OK, great. Great, lovely.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Now, Tamara, what do you do, darling?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- I'm a medical student at the moment. - Are you?- Yes.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59But you're also a tremendously high climber?
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Well erm...on my medical elective I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro with a few friends.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05- Did you?- Yeah.
0:05:05 > 0:05:06How long does that take?
0:05:06 > 0:05:11Erm...well, we did it in seven days. We took an extra day so that we could acclimatise.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13But you can do it in five days.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- And did you get all the way? - Yes, yes.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Did you? Well done. How long does it take you to get down?
0:05:18 > 0:05:19About 20 minutes(?)
0:05:19 > 0:05:23No, no, we had to stay. It takes a day and a half to get down.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24- Does it?- Yeah.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Now - the £600 moment.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Ooh la la, look at that. Great wodger of cash.
0:05:30 > 0:05:35You know the rules - your experts await, and off you go and very, very, very good luck!
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Ooh... Ooh la la!
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Both teams have some hired help.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Steering the Reds in the right direction is Mark Stacey.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Listen, what's our strategy, do you think, to do?
0:05:47 > 0:05:50- We've got 600 quid. - We've got an awful lot of money.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51- Oh, the lamp.- Lalique...
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- Oh, Lalique-style possibly, isn't it?- Yes.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56You're a lady of expensive taste.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00And helping the Blues to part with all that cash is Charles Hanson.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- It's double-up day, isn't it? We've got £600.- Yeah.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07- And I say, let's be adventurous, let's speculate...- Let's go crazy.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11- ..because we want to finish with lots of money for you, OK?- Yeah.- OK.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Right, they're off. What treasures will they find?
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- Charles?- Yes? - What do you think of the phone?
0:06:22 > 0:06:24- I like it.- Does it matter that it...
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Not really, I think the main... The value is in the actual model.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- STALLHOLDER:- It's Danish.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31What do you think, Tamara?
0:06:31 > 0:06:32I really like it.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37That might tell you how long you've been on the phone for.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- A little counter. - How do you actually...
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- GIRLS:- Ah!
0:06:44 > 0:06:45It does work.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47That is cool, isn't it?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- What's the best you could do on it? - I'll go 55.
0:06:50 > 0:06:5255... Tamara, do you like it?
0:06:52 > 0:06:54- Yeah, I really like it. I do. - That's good.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56The girls are pretty quick off the mark.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58But what do you make of it, Charles?
0:06:58 > 0:07:00I think it's got a lot going for it.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03It's an icon of the age. It's...
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- Could someone use it if they wanted to?- I'm sure they could.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08- STALLHOLDER:- Yes, you could. - Really?
0:07:08 > 0:07:09- You think you could wire that in? - Yes.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13- I would say if you like the phone, buy it.- I like the phone.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17- I do like the phone.- I can see the phone making £60, £70...
0:07:17 > 0:07:18Really?
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- STALLHOLDER:- I'll do 50.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22We'd grab it now if it was 45.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23- STALLHOLDER:- I'll go 48.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26There we go - and I say buy it.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- Thank you very much. - We'll do it. Deal.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34So, the Blue team are off to a good start with their first purchase.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37The Reds have spotted a pair of epergnes.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41They're beautiful quality, aren't they?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- Those are very nice. - I love the face...
0:07:43 > 0:07:47You can see them on a table, can't you, or on a sideboard.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51Shall we take one down and have a look at it?
0:07:51 > 0:07:52Cos they're quite heavy as well.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- Yes...- They're a good weight.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56But they are silver plate, of course.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00- You see the chasing on there is very fine, isn't it?- Yes.
0:08:00 > 0:08:05- Do you think we should ask him if that's the best price, do you think, on those?- I think so, yes.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06Excuse me a sec.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Your best price, please.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Er...190.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12190...?
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- Or a round figure.- Shall we take them?- Yes.- I like them.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19Could you do them for 180? A round figure? Am I pushing you too hard?
0:08:19 > 0:08:23- That's OK. That's OK, yes.- 180? - 180, yes.- That's even better.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28Cos you did like them. ..I think we'll take those. Thank you very much indeed.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Well done, ladies...
0:08:31 > 0:08:35- So, we've got 420 left still, which is quite good.- Yes.- Very good.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- We're happy with that, aren't we? - Very happy with that.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40So, one-all.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42What's next for the girls?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47- Charlie?- Ladies. - What do you think about this?
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- With the hat in. - Oh, wow. Is it priced up at all?
0:08:50 > 0:08:53No, it's not. And the lady's not here, so...
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- Oh, I really like that. - Isn't that cool?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- I really like that. - It's from a great age.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00This is the finest quality. Look at the box as well.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- The box is lovely. - I really like it, though.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Look at the old label there, the hotel.
0:09:05 > 0:09:10- Yeah, that is lovely. It's so great. - I really like it.- Initials as well.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13- But there's no price at all on it. - I know.- What's it worth?
0:09:13 > 0:09:18Well, we had one not sell last week with a reserve of about £200.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22- There's no price at all on it. - No, and the woman's away.
0:09:22 > 0:09:23Shall we come back?
0:09:23 > 0:09:26We should, but what do YOU think we should.... How much?
0:09:26 > 0:09:31- I would say if that went into an auction house, between 150 and 250.- OK.- OK.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34So, it might be about £300 here. But it's nice.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40So, they've got a spot of thinking time whilst waiting for the stallholder.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46Er...we've done 30 minutes. We're about halfway through, OK? So bear that in mind.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48You tell 'em, Mark!
0:09:50 > 0:09:54Well, as they say, the collector's lot is never done.
0:09:55 > 0:10:01And I want to show you this little group, which I found yesterday
0:10:01 > 0:10:03when I was wandering down Portobello Road.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07Each piece is a different bit of fruit and veg,
0:10:07 > 0:10:11and each piece has been carved out of solid ivory.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Just look at that bean!
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Well, it's a kind of mangetout, isn't it?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Absolutely carved to perfection.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Now, I bought these objects,
0:10:21 > 0:10:24and I paid £750 for them.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Am I completely cracked? No!
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Why did I pay £750 for these?
0:10:30 > 0:10:37Well, they were made in northern India between about 1850 and 1880,
0:10:37 > 0:10:39and they came back to this country as a little souvenir.
0:10:39 > 0:10:45Secretly, between you, me and the gatepost, I saw a group of these
0:10:45 > 0:10:49sell a couple of years ago for more than £3,000.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51So I may have splashed out £750,
0:10:51 > 0:10:54but I've done it in the sure-fire knowledge
0:10:54 > 0:11:00that £750 is actually not a lot of money for this little group.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Anyway, today I'm in Ally Pally, right?
0:11:03 > 0:11:06With you, wandering around, I came to a stall
0:11:06 > 0:11:08and I saw...
0:11:08 > 0:11:10that! What about that?
0:11:10 > 0:11:12It's made of solid ivory,
0:11:12 > 0:11:16it's in the form of a fruit called a persimmon -
0:11:16 > 0:11:18it too was made in northern India,
0:11:18 > 0:11:23it too was made between 1850 and 1880,
0:11:23 > 0:11:26and it exactly fits inside
0:11:26 > 0:11:28the set of northern Indian ivory objects
0:11:28 > 0:11:30which I bought yesterday.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31Is that a coincidence?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Particularly
0:11:33 > 0:11:36when the dealer here in Ally Pally
0:11:36 > 0:11:38sold it to me for £30?
0:11:39 > 0:11:43Oh! You can't beat this business, can you?
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Back now to the shopping...
0:11:46 > 0:11:50- I like the little duck...- I do. I think the price is enough for us.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54So I think we'll say they're very nice, thank you very much, and we'll walk on.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57The little vesta case is rather unusual.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Yes. That's 98.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02So we can think about that one, it might light up a profit...
0:12:02 > 0:12:06Is that a weighing scales, then, for a person?
0:12:06 > 0:12:08I think it would be. Erm...
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- "To weigh 24 stone." - Harrods, is that?
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Harrods scales. ..Hello, madam. We like the Harrods scales.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- It's good, isn't it? - Fantastic. Tell me about them.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Well, I think being as it is from Harrods
0:12:19 > 0:12:23I would think they would probably be used in the fruit department...
0:12:23 > 0:12:25- So what are we talking? 1930s?- Yeah.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29- And these are the weights here, aren't they?- Yeah.- Oh, wow...
0:12:29 > 0:12:30- So they come off, do they, like that...- Yeah.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- ..and they go on like that.- Yeah.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35- That's nice, isn't it? - Yeah, I like them.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39- Isn't it cool?- Is it saleable? - Definitely saleable.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42I think it's charming, I think it's got that great old look about it -
0:12:42 > 0:12:44it hasn't been tarted up,
0:12:44 > 0:12:47it's clean, it's honest, it's novel...
0:12:47 > 0:12:49and it's all there, look.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- And it's £85?- Yes.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- It has more potential, I think, then the hatbox.- Really?
0:12:55 > 0:12:59Well, if the hatbox is the right price,
0:12:59 > 0:13:03- I would say... ..Your name is, madam, Mrs...?- Corral.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06My guide price would be quite happily between £50 and £80.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- So if Mrs Corral could maybe come down...- You can have it for 70.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Would you take 60 for it?
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Between friends?
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- What's your best price? - It'd be 65.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19£65. What do you think?
0:13:19 > 0:13:23It could make 50, it could make £100. But this has more chance...
0:13:23 > 0:13:27- Could only make £20, though, as well. - No... I hope not.
0:13:27 > 0:13:28- I like it.- Famous last words(!)
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- Oh yeah, Hanson's going down. I hope not. - GIRLS LAUGH
0:13:31 > 0:13:35- We like it very much, madam. - Shall we have a little walk back?
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- Cos we need to know how much...- Can we take five minutes?- Certainly.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41So, Blues - sounds like you need to...
0:13:41 > 0:13:44"weigh up" the pros and cons!
0:13:44 > 0:13:48I think we're idling a bit - we need to be more of a purpose here. We need to get in and rummage.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Exactement, Mark. There's no time to relax.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56- That light is fun. - Yes.- The lantern.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Yes...
0:13:59 > 0:14:01300.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04They're always quite fashionable for London homes.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07I mean, I don't know how old that one is...
0:14:07 > 0:14:09"Victorian."
0:14:09 > 0:14:10"Gas street lamp."
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Gas street lamp. It's beautiful.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16People would convert it now for electricity, I suppose.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Cos they would have been up on a post there.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22- It's rather fun, though.- It is, yes. - It's quite big and bold.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25But then by the time you've converted it...
0:14:27 > 0:14:32I mean, you've got to be able to put it on a central haul or a central chain.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- I suppose you could drill down here. - Don't know...
0:14:35 > 0:14:37But what do you think?
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Personally, I like it.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41- Right.- Do you like it, Jenny?
0:14:41 > 0:14:44- Yes.- Well, it's £300.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- Well...- I'm sure if we asked very, very nicely...
0:14:47 > 0:14:49If we get down on one knee?
0:14:49 > 0:14:51- I take it to 250.- 250...
0:14:51 > 0:14:54No, that's not enough, certainly. Sorry, that er...
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Very nice, but it needs to be much lower than that.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Oh...! Cheeky.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02You sure there's nothing else you could do?
0:15:02 > 0:15:06- RENEE:- 200. - 225. And that's it.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10- Well, it's interesting, isn't it? - Yes... Yes.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12YOU know it's worth it.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Well, I think if I was putting that into sale -
0:15:14 > 0:15:17because lanterns are very popular, very interior design,
0:15:17 > 0:15:20I mean you could do all sorts of things with it -
0:15:20 > 0:15:25I'd certainly be happy to put an estimate of 150 to 200 on it. So it's getting within that area.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Don't forget, you want to build the tension up at auction...
0:15:28 > 0:15:32Maybe if you push this very kind dealer, who doesn't really want to
0:15:32 > 0:15:36take it home with him, cos it's quite a big piece to put in the car...
0:15:36 > 0:15:38If we could push him to 200 I think we might have a deal.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41I'm sure he WOULD go to 2, wouldn't he?
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- For you. OK. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:15:45 > 0:15:46Bingo!
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- Thank you so much.- Thank you.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Nice negotiating, Jenny.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Two down for the Reds, then.
0:15:55 > 0:16:00Meanwhile, the Blue team have just found the stallholder selling the hat...
0:16:02 > 0:16:05The very best I could do on it would be 90, I'm afraid.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07- £90? For the whole lot?- Mm.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10That's the very, very best you can do?
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Do you know...
0:16:12 > 0:16:14And I will say it's a good-sized hat.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19- I've got a tiny head...- Oh.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23I've got a big head.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- Oh, it fits perfectly!- Suits you.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Very dapper, Charles.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31- It's like you came wearing it. - Oh, thank you very much.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- It is quite a large size, isn't it? - Yeah, well...
0:16:34 > 0:16:3880...? We'll take it now for 80.
0:16:38 > 0:16:4180 then, I'll take. I really can't do any less.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43OK. We're sold at that.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Thank you very much.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47- Thank you very much.- It's brilliant!
0:16:47 > 0:16:49- That's very good, we'll take it. - Thank you.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Top that, Blues!
0:16:51 > 0:16:56But you're not really making much of a dent in that 600 smackers.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02But the Reds are spending money like it's going out of fashion.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07I quite like that Stuart Devlin egg. Or it looks like one.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09No, that's actually quite collectible.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Stuart Devlin was an Australian
0:17:11 > 0:17:15who was a very, very famous designer in the 1970s,
0:17:15 > 0:17:19and he created these sort of little Easter eggs, or Christmas eggs,
0:17:19 > 0:17:20with various subjects.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24This is probably for the 1977 Silver Jubilee.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- Ah.- You know. So that could be quite interesting.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30- How much is the Stuart Devlin egg? - 250.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35- 250. May we have a look at that?- Mm.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40- Thank you very much... - That comes off.- OK.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44That comes out of there. So it's got three sections to it,
0:17:44 > 0:17:47and this section of course is fully hallmarked here.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50But I rather like that actually, I think it's rather fun.
0:17:50 > 0:17:51He is quite collectible.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55I'm not sure... They do vary, I mean some of them can be
0:17:55 > 0:17:57£400, £500, £600.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Because this is a royalist one, I don't think it'll be
0:18:00 > 0:18:03quite as commercial as the one with little bunny rabbits
0:18:03 > 0:18:05or some other symbolism.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07But it is a very well-known design,
0:18:07 > 0:18:11- and he is a very well-known and collectible designer.- Right.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Is it something you would be interested in?
0:18:14 > 0:18:16I think so, if the price is right.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Because you've got to leave me a little bit of money
0:18:19 > 0:18:22to buy my bonus buy, if you can.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24I think the dealer seems very helpful.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Well... I can't negotiate very far.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30They go for a lot of money normally, Stuart Devlin eggs,
0:18:30 > 0:18:32and that's quite a good price.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- RENEE:- But the thing is we have not got a lot of money left.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36We have only 220 left.
0:18:36 > 0:18:41But I WOULD like them to at least leave me a fiver to buy something...
0:18:41 > 0:18:44So is there any chance you could do it for 215?
0:18:45 > 0:18:50Cos that's the lowest we can go... or the most we could possibly offer you.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53220 is the absolute...
0:18:53 > 0:18:57- Even if we could do it for 218 - and leave me with the two pound... - All right.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01- Are you sure?- Yes. This is giving me minimal profit on this, I have to tell you.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Well, let me give you a kiss and that'll be...
0:19:04 > 0:19:07that'll be a little bit of consolation.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08Lot of snogging on this show!
0:19:08 > 0:19:10So, the Reds have all three items,
0:19:10 > 0:19:14but only £2 for Mark to spend on the bonus buy.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17He's got his work cut out!
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Oh, look at that nice mirror there. Look at that.
0:19:19 > 0:19:25It's a very, very stylish Art Nouveau hammered mirror.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27It would have been more patinated originally.
0:19:27 > 0:19:32This is all original, it's all beautifully in relief and embossed.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36And it's a very good price.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38What's the best price on it?
0:19:38 > 0:19:41- I'll go under 70. I'll do 68. - 68. Ah!
0:19:42 > 0:19:46Subjectively, I would not mind the scales or the mirror.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49What shall we do? What shall we do? There's four minutes to go.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51What do you think, Freya?
0:19:51 > 0:19:54The stock is on the table... It's waiting.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57- I'm literally undecided. - You were keen on the scales.
0:19:57 > 0:20:03- I just think they're quirky - but then I guess they could just completely...flop.- Yeah.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07But then don't forget the name, and the scenario of being in London.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10- Let's go and see if we can get them for 60.- Yeah.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- Can we just hold it for four minutes?- Four minutes, yes!
0:20:13 > 0:20:15- I'll wait here.- OK...
0:20:22 > 0:20:23Where is he...?
0:20:23 > 0:20:25It was down here, it was down here!
0:20:25 > 0:20:27OK, but where's the owner...?
0:20:27 > 0:20:29The owner's not here.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32- Is he down there?- Down where?
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Hello, madam. ..Here's the lady.
0:20:34 > 0:20:35We have two minutes...
0:20:35 > 0:20:42And we've got another item. It's between this and the other item, but only if you'll go with 60, not 65.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Oh God, no! What shall we do...?
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Er... Yeah? OK?
0:20:46 > 0:20:47Done.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51- All right then.- Thank you very much, you're a good sport.- It's all right.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53- Fantastic.- Thank you, thank you.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55- Are you happy?- I'm very happy.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- Are you sure?- I'm positive. Positive... I'm really happy.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02Well, you haven't really made the most of the £600, girls...
0:21:02 > 0:21:05but all three items are bought - and just in the nick of time.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09So, let's remind ourselves what our teams HAVE bought.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13A pair of silver epergnes set Renee and Jenny back £180.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17A Victorian gas lantern was picked up for £200...
0:21:19 > 0:21:24..and a silver-gilt Jubilee egg cost them £218.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30£598. Must be one of the highest amounts of money we've spent on the show -
0:21:30 > 0:21:34- you've only left me with £2. You naughty girls.- Sorry about that.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- Is that it, then?- That's it! - £2 of leftover lolly.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41I have never handed over such a miserable amount.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44- It is a miserable amount. - What are you going to do, Mark?
0:21:44 > 0:21:47- He's going to do fantastic. - He's going to turn it into gold.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48- Is he?- Yeah.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52Well, after what YOU'VE been spending your money on,
0:21:52 > 0:21:54he might need to. No, seriously, you've had a good time?
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Yes, we have. Very, very nice.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00They've been fantastic. We've bought three really good items, I feel.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04Well, I'm crossing everything for you, including for you and the £2.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Anyway - for the rest of the guys,
0:22:06 > 0:22:09let's check out what the Blues have bought, eh?
0:22:12 > 0:22:16A gilt brass and copper telephone rang up...£48.
0:22:16 > 0:22:22A Victorian leather hatbox and top hat cost them...£80.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26And £60 was forked out for this pair of early 20th-century scales.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32- Hi, guys. How you doing? - Good.- Good, good.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Charles, have you ever been surrounded by such beautiful company?
0:22:35 > 0:22:39Tim, I'm a lucky man, it's been a great hour.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41- You're engaged at the moment, right? - Indeed.- Yes.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43- You didn't mention that! - Oh well, sorry...
0:22:44 > 0:22:46All this time.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Now listen, girls, how much did you spend?
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Er, not very much. £188.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53We gave you 600!
0:22:53 > 0:22:55We're Scrooges.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59Scrooges?! Couldn't you gee them up any more than that, Charles?
0:22:59 > 0:23:04I tried, Tim, but we didn't see those high-value things to really push on with, did we?
0:23:04 > 0:23:06- You just didn't bite, yeah? - No... Yeah.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10- Somebody's got a wodge of leftover lolly.- I have. It's a big wodge.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14- Oh, my goodness me...- £412.
0:23:14 > 0:23:15£412?
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- Well, Charles, you've never had... - I've never had...- ..such potential.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22But our normal budget of £300 - to have more than 400's incredible, Tim.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24And I'm worried. And I'm nervous.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Very good luck. It's a big responsibility, Charles.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29For me, I'm going to stick in north London
0:23:29 > 0:23:33but I'm going to go slightly "sarf" in north London... if you see what I mean.
0:23:38 > 0:23:45The Jewish Museum has recently reopened its doors after an extensive refurbishment.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48And the place is absolutely jam-packed
0:23:48 > 0:23:52with art and artefacts relating to the Jewish faith.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Including...an old wardrobe.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Now, this is the old wardrobe.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Actually, it's a synagogue ark,
0:24:08 > 0:24:14and was the first piece presented to this museum in 1932.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17It is of course a lot older than that.
0:24:17 > 0:24:23The piece was apparently discovered in a synagogue in Venice,
0:24:23 > 0:24:27it then found its way to Britain and was in a house in Yorkshire,
0:24:27 > 0:24:30and eventually made it here to the museum.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34Now, a synagogue ark is the receptacle
0:24:34 > 0:24:38of the most precious of precious objects within the synagogue,
0:24:38 > 0:24:41and they are the Torah scrolls.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44They'd have been kept inside this cupboard,
0:24:44 > 0:24:47and the outside has been decorated appropriately.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51Here we've got the Temple Menorah candlestick,
0:24:51 > 0:24:53here, a sort of wash-hand basin
0:24:53 > 0:24:58which would have been used for ceremonially cleansing your hands.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01But if we look at the piece of furniture itself,
0:25:01 > 0:25:04it is monumental in proportion.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06At the top, there's a cartouche,
0:25:06 > 0:25:12and the script there says, "Know who before you stand".
0:25:12 > 0:25:14The construction of the ark itself is interesting.
0:25:14 > 0:25:19What we've got here is a series of inexpensive softwoods,
0:25:19 > 0:25:22which have been turned and carved
0:25:22 > 0:25:25to resemble very much more expensive marble.
0:25:25 > 0:25:30Here you can see the paint effect that's been used to simulate marble.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34This lappeted panel on either side in bright green
0:25:34 > 0:25:36is supposed to be jasper.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39And just look at the way this mottling
0:25:39 > 0:25:41around the curve of the column
0:25:41 > 0:25:45realistically does resemble marble itself.
0:25:45 > 0:25:51But overall, you have to admit, it is some old wardrobe.
0:25:51 > 0:25:56The big question today is of course, what is going on in west London?
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Not at the synagogue -
0:25:58 > 0:26:00over at the auction!
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Well, Mark and Charles have found their bonus buys,
0:26:11 > 0:26:16and we're all keen to find out what the auctioneer makes of today's purchases.
0:26:18 > 0:26:24So we've come southwest from the Alexandra Palace - not very far, to Chiswick,
0:26:24 > 0:26:29- to be at Chiswick Auctions with Tom Keane, our auctioneer. Tom.- Tim.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31- Nice to see you!- And you.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35Now, Renee and Jenny, their first item, double-up money,
0:26:35 > 0:26:37is this pair of epergnes -
0:26:37 > 0:26:39which are almost too good to be true, aren't they?
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Yeah. They're just... like you say, too good to be true.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Something about them doesn't ring to be right.
0:26:45 > 0:26:46Well, I know what you mean because
0:26:46 > 0:26:51this cast metal is incredibly chunky for Victorian work.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54I think they've been re-silvered, don't you? Re-plated.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Could be re-plated. I mean, that's a lot of work, anyway,
0:26:57 > 0:26:59that's probably why Renee paid £180 for them.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02- Oops.- £180.- That's enough.
0:27:02 > 0:27:03What do you think they might bring?
0:27:03 > 0:27:06- I'm dubious. £60 or £80. - OK, fair enough.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10Next is the polished copper lantern.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Which is nice, isn't it? Takes you back.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15No. I don't think it IS nice.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17- You don't? - I don't think it's copper either.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19- What do you think it is? - I think it's COPPERED.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21I think it's a base metal that's been coppered.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25- Oh, coppered. Gosh. Do you really? - Yeah. It's a bit too bright.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Well that's very sharp.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Well, that completely torpedoes the price then, doesn't it?
0:27:30 > 0:27:33I'm pretty certain I'm right - I think it's 50 or 80 quid's worth.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36Right, £200 paid.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Lastly is this egg. The Stuart Devlin egg.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42It's a nice piece of silver, beautifully planished...
0:27:42 > 0:27:43How do you think it'll do, Tom?
0:27:43 > 0:27:46I think it'll do OK. It's nice quality, nicely hallmarked.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50Nice size as well. 100 to 150, and could do a little bit better.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53OK. £218 is what it needs to make.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55- Mmm...- But overall,
0:27:55 > 0:27:57we've got a bit of a potential loss on these fellows
0:27:57 > 0:28:00and a bit of a whopper on our COPPERED lantern.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03So let's go and have a look at the bonus buy. They're going to need it.
0:28:05 > 0:28:06So, you two...
0:28:06 > 0:28:08£2, you left him.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10- What did you buy, Mark?- Well, Tim,
0:28:10 > 0:28:13I bought this little 19th-century pepper pot.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16- Ooh...- It's a little bit damaged. It's pewter,
0:28:16 > 0:28:20- and it cost me the full £2, of course.- No change?
0:28:20 > 0:28:23I tried to get it down to £1, but the dealer wasn't having any of it.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25But I thank him very much for letting me have it for 2.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28I collect salt and pepper and mustard pots...
0:28:28 > 0:28:32Well, I couldn't get a matching salt, I'm afraid, for £2!
0:28:32 > 0:28:34But I think it's quite... you know, for £2.
0:28:34 > 0:28:35Yes, you couldn't do worse than that.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37I wanted something with a bit of character,
0:28:37 > 0:28:39and I think it's got enough bulges and bumps on that.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Are you referring to me?
0:28:41 > 0:28:43- No, the pepper pot. - Oh, that's all right then.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46- Yes, that's very good.- Very nice.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48We should make something on that, shouldn't we?
0:28:48 > 0:28:51Well, you know, fingers crossed it might spice up a profit.
0:28:51 > 0:28:52- Yes.- Now seriously, girls,
0:28:52 > 0:28:56you pick later after the sale of your first three items -
0:28:56 > 0:29:00but let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Mark's little pepper.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06So, Tom, if you've only got £2 left to find a bonus buy on Bargain Hunt,
0:29:06 > 0:29:09that is what you'd go and buy, apparently.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12A battered bit of pewter.
0:29:12 > 0:29:13A battered bit of pewter, but for £2?
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Well, even so, they'll struggle,
0:29:15 > 0:29:18but er...I'll put an estimate of £5 or £10 on.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20- You are a good man. - Try and talk people into it.
0:29:20 > 0:29:24If you're trying to get a profit, you will get one on that. Perhaps not the others.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26No, quite. Wouldn't it be ironic
0:29:26 > 0:29:31if the only profit that's made today for the Reds is on the £2 bonus buy?
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Anyway. That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:29:33 > 0:29:37First off is the foreign telephone. Does that grab you?
0:29:37 > 0:29:39Not really. Not really. Erm...
0:29:39 > 0:29:43It's...a foreign telephone. Not much you can say about it.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47It's copper. It's 1920s, '30s... It's decorative, but er...
0:29:47 > 0:29:49is it valuable?
0:29:49 > 0:29:52£48 has paid for it anyway. Do you think they'll get a profit?
0:29:52 > 0:29:56- Funnily enough I do. I've estimated it at £50 to £100.- There you go.
0:29:56 > 0:29:57They paid the right price.
0:29:57 > 0:30:02So congratulations to them if they can turn it into a profit. Lovely.
0:30:02 > 0:30:03Erm, the hatbox...
0:30:04 > 0:30:06Magnificent, bulletproof leather hatbox.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10I mean, is that... like a tale of an era gone by -
0:30:10 > 0:30:12that you'd take that on the train with you
0:30:12 > 0:30:15and somebody would lug it around to keep your top hat in good nick?
0:30:15 > 0:30:18Well, I think more of an indoors piece. Decorative piece.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21As shabby chic, it's quite nice. And it's got the hat in it too.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24- How much, then?- £60 or £80.
0:30:24 > 0:30:25£80 paid. So they're not too bad on that.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28So we're getting quite close on those two.
0:30:28 > 0:30:29The third item, though,
0:30:29 > 0:30:32is this state-of-the-art Harrods set of scales.
0:30:33 > 0:30:37- Tom...- Tim...- Yes(!)
0:30:37 > 0:30:39The best thing about it, it's Harrods.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43And I've put a high valuation on it for that name only, at £60 or £80.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45Well, here we are in London - I mean,
0:30:45 > 0:30:47- the Brompton Road store is a flagship.- Mm.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51It's an icon of this city in many ways,
0:30:51 > 0:30:53so with any luck you'll be right, Tom.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57They paid £60 - you've put 60 to 80 on. There's a fair chance there.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00- Well, we'll try. We'll try.- Yes. Very good. Well done, Tom.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03I fancy they're going to need their bonus buy though...
0:31:04 > 0:31:07Now, you cheapskates, you lot...
0:31:07 > 0:31:09Freya and Tamara. ..Aren't they lovely?
0:31:09 > 0:31:12- You only spent £188.- Yep.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16Which is pretty pathetic when we give you 600.
0:31:16 > 0:31:21Anyway - it gave a vast wodger of £412 to Charles Hanson.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24So what did you do, Charles, with £412?
0:31:24 > 0:31:28Well, Tim, I felt having spent so little, I had to really go for it
0:31:28 > 0:31:31with a big blast, make-or-break...
0:31:31 > 0:31:34So I bought something very small, but very beautiful.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37Look at that. It's a watch.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39- Oh, wow.- OK.- It's a watch.
0:31:39 > 0:31:44But it's a very fine Omega chronometer wristwatch -
0:31:44 > 0:31:471950s, extremely good quality...
0:31:47 > 0:31:53It was priced at a retail level of £600, OK? I bought it for 400.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56However, we were at a high retail end,
0:31:56 > 0:31:58and I've gone and really speculated.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02And this could make or break Charles Hanson. OK? And my team.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05- If your team go with it. - If they go with it.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09And they, so far, have harboured and garnered their cash,
0:32:09 > 0:32:12so that they've not had a lot of exposure here,
0:32:12 > 0:32:14- and this is a big exposure. - Tim, we've gone big.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16And if we don't go big we never know.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19How much do you think it's worth, how much you think it'll go for?
0:32:19 > 0:32:22Well...you never know.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26However - I must be plain.
0:32:26 > 0:32:31I'm sure the auctioneer might be quite cautious, and guide it at between £200 and £300...?
0:32:31 > 0:32:34- Half the price?- I live in hope. But...we have to speculate.
0:32:34 > 0:32:38Very good. Well, girls, straight from the horse's mouth.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40Is it something that you like yourself, Freya?
0:32:40 > 0:32:42Er...not really, no.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45Do you go for men with big watches?
0:32:45 > 0:32:48I love watches. Erm...
0:32:48 > 0:32:51But this... I don't know, this one seems a bit...boring.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54And also it doesn't seem in great condition.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56- But I don't know. - What do you think, Tamara?
0:32:56 > 0:32:58I don't know much about watches...
0:32:58 > 0:33:02- I wouldn't spend £400 on it. But then...- No.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05Well, it'll be your choice to speculate or not in a moment,
0:33:05 > 0:33:07but right now, for the viewers at home,
0:33:07 > 0:33:10let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Charles's wristwatch.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14Tom, you sell a lot of these wristwatches, don't you?
0:33:14 > 0:33:18We'll sell them every week, and about 30 or 40 watches a week.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21- Erm...- How do you rate that one?
0:33:21 > 0:33:24Good name, Omega.
0:33:24 > 0:33:28Gold-plated. I mean, all gold watches have a gold back, so...
0:33:29 > 0:33:31It's OK. It's £100 or £200's worth.
0:33:31 > 0:33:32- £100 to £200?- Yeah.- Really?
0:33:32 > 0:33:34- Mm.- Oh dear...- What did he pay?
0:33:34 > 0:33:36£400?
0:33:36 > 0:33:38Done his money.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40- He's done his money.- Big time.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43And I think time is running out for Charles.
0:33:47 > 0:33:48230. 240. 250.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51260. 270. 280.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54Going, all done...
0:33:54 > 0:33:58Now, Renee and "Jenee"...
0:33:58 > 0:33:59How are you feeling?
0:33:59 > 0:34:03I was feeling more enthusiast when we bought it, than now that we have to sell it.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07What, in the cold, grey dawn of the auction, you're feeling doubtful?
0:34:07 > 0:34:10- Doubtful. There is not a lot of people.- No. Positive.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13- You are positive? - Positive, definitely.
0:34:13 > 0:34:17The first item coming up though are the epergnes. And here they come.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19They're figured with the griffins.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Quite a decent quality lot. £50?
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Thank you, I'm bid at £50. Say 55? 55. You want 60?
0:34:25 > 0:34:275. 70. 5. 80.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30At £75, bid at £75...
0:34:30 > 0:34:3185. 90.
0:34:31 > 0:34:3595. 100. 110. 120. 130.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38At 120... In or out?
0:34:38 > 0:34:40She says no? 120, you've got it.
0:34:40 > 0:34:44- It wasn't as bad as we thought. - So we...- Minus 60, sweetie.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46- Minus 60?- Minus 60.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49Now, next up is the not-so-copper lantern.
0:34:49 > 0:34:53A polished coppered four-glass exterior lantern.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55£50 for it, please? £50 for it?
0:34:55 > 0:34:57Thank you, I'm bid at £50. 55.
0:34:57 > 0:35:0160. 5. 70. 5...
0:35:01 > 0:35:0480...!
0:35:04 > 0:35:06At £70, selling, all done at £70...
0:35:06 > 0:35:08At £70 and gone, then...
0:35:08 > 0:35:11£130. That's chouette, hein(?)
0:35:12 > 0:35:14- Bof!- Zut alors.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Incroyable.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19OK. Now, next up, Mark, is your egg.
0:35:19 > 0:35:23The Stuart Devlin silver-gilt surprise egg. £100 for it?
0:35:25 > 0:35:27- £50 for it?- Oh, gosh...
0:35:27 > 0:35:30I'm bid at £50. 55?
0:35:30 > 0:35:3260. 5. 70. 5.
0:35:32 > 0:35:37- 80. 5. 90. 5.- More...- 100.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42At £95. At £95. Give me £100 for it?
0:35:42 > 0:35:45- It's worth £100 all day long. - It's terribly cheap, honestly.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49At £100, selling, all done... Last chance, and going for £100...
0:35:50 > 0:35:53- That is a bargain.- So disappointing. - It really is.
0:35:53 > 0:35:54Anyway, £100
0:35:54 > 0:35:57is minus £118.
0:35:57 > 0:36:03- So that's 130, 230, 240, 240...- Oh, we've done it big time, then.- £308.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05- Good Lord.- Minus 308, girls.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08- Well, I think the fact they've got...- That is really...
0:36:08 > 0:36:12It could have been minus the whole lot. Look on the bright side.
0:36:12 > 0:36:17- Well, you spent £598, and you're minus £308.- Oh, that's good.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19I don't think it's our lucky day today.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23- Now... - We are taking the pewter pot.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26- You're going with the bonus buy? - Of course!
0:36:26 > 0:36:29We're going with the pepper pot, the decision is made.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33A 19th-century pewter pepper pot, Is it worth £10, start me...
0:36:33 > 0:36:35£10 for it...
0:36:35 > 0:36:37£5 for it...
0:36:37 > 0:36:41£2 for it... Thank you, I'm bid at 2, who'll give me 3?
0:36:41 > 0:36:45The bid's here at £2, I'll take 3... At £2.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47- All done at £2, at £2, and done...- £2?!
0:36:47 > 0:36:50That's a bid at £2 then, all done...
0:36:50 > 0:36:53It was £2, it wiped its face.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56You are still at minus £308.
0:36:57 > 0:37:01I must say, these double-up days are going really rather well(!)
0:37:01 > 0:37:04- Fantastic.- How interesting to see how the Blues get on.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06- Don't tell me 'em a thing. - Of course not.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08Not a thing. Zip!
0:37:08 > 0:37:10If we can. Where is my hankie?
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Yes, don't go crying...
0:37:17 > 0:37:21Now, you two economical girls. Do you know how the Reds got on?
0:37:21 > 0:37:24- No idea. - You 'ave been talking to ze French?
0:37:24 > 0:37:26- No.- The Frenchies...
0:37:26 > 0:37:30- They looked happy though.- Did they? - They did.- Maybe that was false!
0:37:30 > 0:37:35What, you think it's fake happiness? Well, you'll find out in a minute.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37Anyway, first up is your telephone, and here it comes.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40Copper and brass, 1930s telephone,

0:37:59 > 0:38:01You do? 45...
0:38:01 > 0:38:07- At £42, take 45... Staying at £42 and going...- Come on!
0:38:07 > 0:38:08£42 and gone, then...
0:38:08 > 0:38:12- Oh, no! Freya, that is so bad luck. - That is so annoying.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15£42, you're minus six smackers.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17That's nothing! You were so close, baby.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19Now - the hatbox.
0:38:19 > 0:38:23A Victorian leather-top hatbox. £50?

0:38:52 > 0:38:54On the threshold, aren't we?
0:38:54 > 0:38:56- You're on the cusp, mate. - On the cusp.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00It all needs weighing out in the balance...
0:39:01 > 0:39:03..and talking of balances - here it comes.
0:39:03 > 0:39:07Cast-iron weighing machine - signed Harrods as well, so a good name.

0:39:32 > 0:39:35- That's nothing, minus £34. - That's not bad, is it?
0:39:35 > 0:39:37I mean, minus £34.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39- Charles thinks we should stick.- Hey?
0:39:40 > 0:39:42What was that?
0:39:42 > 0:39:45- He never... He's not allowed to express an opinion.- I'm sorry.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48He's the expert!
0:39:48 > 0:39:49What are you going to do -
0:39:49 > 0:39:52are you going to go with the watch now?
0:39:52 > 0:39:56I paid too much. Stick, stick, stick, please!
0:39:56 > 0:39:59- We're going to go for it. - Ssh, ssh, ssh...
0:40:00 > 0:40:04Hanson made a boo-boo, OK? Hanson made a boo-boo.
0:40:04 > 0:40:05- What shall we do?- Go for it!
0:40:05 > 0:40:08- OK, we'll go for it.- Oh, no...
0:40:08 > 0:40:10- I don't believe it. - Seriously, final decision now.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13- Final decision is...? Quickly? - We'll stick.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16- OK, we'll stick. - OK, final decision is to stick.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20Omega Constellation automatic wristwatch. £100 for it?
0:40:21 > 0:40:23£100 for it, somebody, £100 for it?
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Thank you, £100. I'll take 110.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29110. 120. 130. 140.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32150. 160. 170...
0:40:32 > 0:40:36- Ooh, hello...- 160, take 170 for it... At 160, selling.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40At 160, and going... Are we finished, all done - 160...
0:40:43 > 0:40:46Well, you've got to speculate, OK?
0:40:46 > 0:40:48We're talking minus 240 here,
0:40:48 > 0:40:53and by the skin of your teeth, you girls, you did not go with it, all right...
0:40:53 > 0:40:58You preserved your losses at only minus £34.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02And you watch out, you two, because minus £34 could be a winning score.
0:41:07 > 0:41:12- This is absolutely dreadful, isn't it? Have you been talking?- ALL: No.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16I'm not surprised, really. We have got some whopping losses today.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19Whopping! I mean, I don't know when I've seen
0:41:19 > 0:41:25such a sea of minus numbers in a pair of scorecards.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28- In your bank account(?) - No... thank you very much!
0:41:28 > 0:41:30- Oooh!- Yes.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33- On that happy note... - ALL LAUGH
0:41:33 > 0:41:38..I have to reveal the runners-up today - cos we don't have losers any more on Bargain Hunt -
0:41:38 > 0:41:41by a substantial margin...
0:41:41 > 0:41:44- are the Reds.- Yes! - MARK: It's not surprising, really.
0:41:44 > 0:41:49Your losses, girls, total £308.
0:41:49 > 0:41:53- Ooh!- Ooh la la, I would say.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55The only mitigating factor was the wiped face
0:41:55 > 0:41:57with the pewter pepper pot.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00But as you only spent £2 on the pepper pot,
0:42:00 > 0:42:03and it failed to make any losses or any profits,
0:42:03 > 0:42:05I consider that's a great achievement, Mark.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08- But they did spend all their money. - Yes, all their money.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10At their cost, I have to say.
0:42:10 > 0:42:16Minus £308, I have to say, is not brilliant, but you were robbed on one or two instances
0:42:16 > 0:42:19so I have every sympathy for you. Otherwise, you have been brilliant.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23- Well done.- I hang my head in shame.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26- Why?!- There's no need to walk away like that, Renee!
0:42:26 > 0:42:30Walk tall, girl, you've done extraordinarily well.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32But the victors today, our lovely Blues,
0:42:32 > 0:42:36are winning by only losing...£34.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39They are only £34 down the proverbial -
0:42:39 > 0:42:44but then they didn't go with their bonus buy, did they? Smart move.
0:42:44 > 0:42:49£240 losses on the bonus buy would have torpedoed your chances, girls,
0:42:49 > 0:42:54but you hummed and you hawed, and you hummed and you hawed,
0:42:54 > 0:42:56and you eventually came down on the side of justice.
0:42:56 > 0:43:00But the less said about that, the better. How does it feel to win?
0:43:00 > 0:43:03- Surprising.- Does it?
0:43:03 > 0:43:05Well, we're very excited for you.
0:43:05 > 0:43:09- Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?- ALL: Yes!
