0:00:03 > 0:00:07This bargain hunting lark just looks like a piece of cake, doesn't it?
0:00:07 > 0:00:11But, actually, there's far more to it than meets the eye.
0:00:11 > 0:00:15Our teams are going to need loads of skill, they're going to need cunning,
0:00:15 > 0:00:18and above all, they're going to need speed.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Yeah.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23Well, come on then. What are you doing back there?
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Let's go bargain hunting.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hello. And a very warm welcome to you all.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03I'm at the East of England showground in Peterborough
0:01:03 > 0:01:05and can't wait to show you what's in store.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Just take a squiz at this.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12The Reds can't decide.
0:01:12 > 0:01:1525% off everything on that table.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- Jen, we've got some money to spend. - We have.- We have.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21The Blues can't disagree.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23- You want to go for it? - Yeah.- You like that?
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- Definitely. - Brilliant. We'll go with that.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29And I can't move for dogs. Don't you think he's sweet?
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Hang on a sec, though.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37We need to meet the teams. Welcome, girls.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Now we've got good friends, Jennifer and Lydia, for the Reds.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44And good friends, Christie and Abbey, for the Blues.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48Now, you two became friends in the swinging '60s. Is that right?
0:01:48 > 0:01:50- Yes. We did.- And you're both very busy, aren't you?
0:01:50 > 0:01:53- Yes.- OK. Tell us what you get up to then, Jennifer.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Golf and tennis and bridge and...
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- Lunch?- ..eating. Eating.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Lots of eating.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Mostly outdoor sports, really.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07So you want to not only exercise your brains but also...
0:02:07 > 0:02:08Our bodies.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11I thought you were going to say that.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- Lovely. Now, Lydia, you're a hairdresser.- Yes.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- And did hairdressing bring you to Britain?- Yes. It did.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- Where did you come from?- Austria.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- And you came to learn English. - Yes, I did.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25You came over to learn your English. Then what happened?
0:02:25 > 0:02:30I came to learn to go back home again, home Austria, and then I met my husband and stayed.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34So how confident are you two girls about your performance today?
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- Very confident.- Are you?- Yes.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40Well, we'll do all we can to assist you in that aim.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43What lovely girls. Now, over to the Blues.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- You're great friends. Yes? - Yes.- From university.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48When you've finished at university, you're keen to travel.
0:02:48 > 0:02:54Yeah. Well, I think so. I don't really know exactly what I want to do, but I'd like to go to China.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56- To do what?- Maybe to like care for animals or teach English.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00Is there any particular animal that you'd like to look after in China?
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Pandas are the obvious one for China, because they're endangered.
0:03:04 > 0:03:09- Lucky old panda, I say. - That's right.- Now, Abbey, golf is your big thing, right?
0:03:09 > 0:03:12I'd like to pretend it is, although I did have lessons for two years
0:03:12 > 0:03:15and never played a round of golf. I wasn't confident enough.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- What, never the whole 18 holes?- No.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20How are you on the subject of antiques and collectables?
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Are you going to beat these Reds?
0:03:22 > 0:03:25We both do history and I think because we read it so much in books,
0:03:25 > 0:03:29the reason why we wanted to come on Bargain Hunt was to see it in objects as well.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32And there is no better way of telling the historical story,
0:03:32 > 0:03:37quite frankly, than grabbing a lump of something, that's really a bit of living history.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Anyway, now the lovely dosh moment.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41£300 apiece. £300. There you go. £300.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45You know the rules. Your experts await. And off you go.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49And very good luck. Don't forget, girls, we want a nice clean fight.
0:03:53 > 0:03:58Talking tactics with the Red team is shrewd shopper David Barby.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02And the Blue team are being warmed up by Mr Motivator himself,
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Thomas Plant.
0:04:05 > 0:04:10And the rules are each team gets £300 and 60 minutes to shop for three items.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13And we're going to be watching the clock.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14So, let's get cracking, eh.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Look, here we are. Here's the entrance.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22It looks crowded out. Keep close.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26- Scan the stalls as you go along but don't look at every single thing. - All right.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Sound advice, David.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- Oh, that's nice. Look how intricate that is. Is that ivory?- It is ivory.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36How much is the ivory brooch?
0:04:36 > 0:04:38The very best is 130.
0:04:38 > 0:04:43- 130. Did you want to think about it? We've just started shopping. - Yeah. We will have a think about it.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46We don't want to buy something too expensive at the start.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48- We'll leave it. - That's a very good plan.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Here on this still is 18th century porcelain.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56- Yes.- And you know about that, don't you?
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Come and have a look. Whether in fact it interests you or not,
0:04:59 > 0:05:02you see, you're talking in terms of £250.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05It's really more than we would possibly want to spend.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09- Yes.- Yes. Yes. It is indeed. It is indeed. Some very nice pieces.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11It's a bit expensive though, isn't it?
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- Do you think?- I don't know.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- How much is it?- 195.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Well, I don't think you'll get your money on that somehow.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22I don't think so. What do I like?
0:05:22 > 0:05:23Lydia, Winston Churchill.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- I don't know.- How much is it?
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- Well, it's a bit expensive. £25. - It's not expensive for what it is.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33But you've got to think in terms of if it goes up for auction...
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- I just like his face.- ..whether we're going to make a profit or not.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38This is going to be a battle, David.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44These toys, toys have such a nostalgia with people.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- Definitely.- People love them. - They're collectables.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49It's a huge collecting area.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- Wow. Look at that. - What do you like about that?
0:05:51 > 0:05:55When we were younger there was like the huge plastic
0:05:55 > 0:05:58little kitchen thing, so it's quite nice to see that they had that toy then.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02It's tinplate. And you've got these nice printed panels on here.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06- These look like plastic handles. - It's in good condition.- It is in good condition.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- They're lovely, aren't they? - Yeah. Really good.- Oh, there we are.
0:06:09 > 0:06:14- It's a Swiss make, Sigg of Switzerland.- You can image them melting the chocolate in the pans.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Do you think things like that would sell?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Absolutely. You've got a big paella dish. Yeah.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23I think it's a good, novelty, interesting item, isn't it? A toy point of view.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- I just think I would prefer to see at least £10 off that.- Yeah.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Maybe a little bit more. Do you want me to go and have a chat?
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- Yes.- Or do you want to go and do it?
0:06:32 > 0:06:34- What do you want to do, girls? - You can do it.- Yeah.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- Yeah.- You do the first one and then we'll...- Chickens.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Hello. What's your very best on that?
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- 35.- Brilliant. So, guys, £35. What do you think?
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- That's really good. - You want to go for it?- Yeah.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- You like that?- Definitely. - Brilliant. We'll go with that.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51- That's really good. - It's a novelty item.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- Even though we said we weren't going to go for that, but I like it.- I do.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57So, onwards and upwards. We've got our first item.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59- Yeah.- Good.- Let's find another two.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01- Yes. Let's go.- Come on.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Cor, you're cooking with gas, Blues.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08Now that, actually, I like it.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- Oh, good.- I do. - Let's have a look.- I like that.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- I wonder if we can get... - We'll have to ask.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- Like the shape of it? - Yes. I like that.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17It's very... the simplicity of it.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21- Would I pay £45 for it? - No. We wouldn't. We wouldn't.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23The gentleman may negotiate a price.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- What's the best on the spoon, sir? - 38.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Can't do quite 38.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Have to do a bit better than that.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32We will.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35I know we have to buy things.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Yes. That is the point of the game, Lydia.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41OK. Can I just check with my boss?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- My boss?- What do you think?
0:07:43 > 0:07:47- How much is it?- 32. - Would he come down to 30 on it?
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- Yeah. We'd have it for 30. - Go on. I'll do 30 then.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52- We'll do 30.- Right.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54This is quite a nice little spoon.
0:07:54 > 0:08:00When I look at this, I think of the arts and crafts movement although it was made round about 1946.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02It's a two to one thing here.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- You don't like it, obviously. - I don't dislike it, but I just feel
0:08:05 > 0:08:09would I pay £30 for something of that nature or even more?
0:08:09 > 0:08:11- It is solid silver. - Do you think 30 is OK?
0:08:11 > 0:08:13I think £30 is a reasonable figure.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18- And do you think it'll make a profit?- It is handmade.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- Yes.- So I've been told, but I liked the look of it straightaway.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26- So do I. Yes.- Well, there we are. We've made our first purchase and I do think we ought to get on.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28You tell them, Lydia.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31The next choice will be yours, Jennifer.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33SHE LAUGHS
0:08:33 > 0:08:37We might be waiting a long time for that then.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- That is nice, isn't it? - Yeah. I mean, it's £6.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45I think you want to look for something... You've got a bit more money than £6 to spend.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47What about that jug up there?
0:08:47 > 0:08:51- This one?- Yeah. Do you like that? - Yeah. I like the blue inside.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Yeah. Look at the base.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- What does it say?- "Clarice Cliff."
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Your grandma recommended that, didn't she?
0:08:58 > 0:09:00My grandma told me to get Clarice Cliff.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- Oh, right.- Or Troika.- Naturally, they're two good subjects.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06I knew it was Clarice, as soon as I saw it, because of this handle here.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09It's a sort of later Clarice Cliff design.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- Would it be a water jug?- Yeah. Water jug or lemonade, certainly.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15You can even put flowers in it if you wanted. It is pretty.
0:09:15 > 0:09:16Do what you want, really. Absolutely.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19It would be quite nice. I love the colours.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- The handle's really nice. - It's quite modern looking.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25- Yeah.- How old is it then? - 60 years?- I don't know any Clarice.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Think a bit earlier. A bit earlier.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32- 80 years?- Absolutely. It's about 1930s. What do you think about that price there?
0:09:32 > 0:09:36I think we could knock it down a bit. Maybe to like 70 or something.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37I'd go for 65.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Why don't you go, do you want to go and have a chat?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Why don't you go and bargain this time?
0:09:42 > 0:09:46Go and see her and Christie and I will have a look round and see what else is here? Is that all right?
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Yes. Perfect. Wish me luck.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- Go and have a chat. Go on. - Good luck.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53So while Abbey goes walkies, come and have a look at this.
0:09:55 > 0:10:02Have you noticed that there's not the most phenomenal number of dogs at these antique fairs?
0:10:02 > 0:10:08Well, it's hardly surprising then that actually, dog collectables are incredibly collectable.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11So what do you think about this little joker?
0:10:11 > 0:10:14What sort of breed is it? The clue is about its body, look.
0:10:14 > 0:10:19It's got this vaguely squashed-in face and a curly type of tail.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21And I reckon it's a pug dog.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26This thing was made of cast bronze between 1780 and 1820,
0:10:26 > 0:10:28so it's really got some age.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32This gold chain is supposed to be attached to that collar,
0:10:32 > 0:10:36which in turn is attached to this slab of marble,
0:10:36 > 0:10:40and I really like this slab of marble, because it's Siena marble
0:10:40 > 0:10:44and that's been applied onto some plain white Carrara marble.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49And these two slabs of marble, one on top of the other, I think are incredibly smart.
0:10:49 > 0:10:54And it looks a bit, to me, like William Hogarth's Trump.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57If you trot down to the Tate, there's a splendid portrait
0:10:57 > 0:11:00of William Hogarth with his dog, Trump,
0:11:00 > 0:11:03which you see in lots of portraits of the man.
0:11:03 > 0:11:08The other famous person that owned one of these was the Emperor Li Po.
0:11:08 > 0:11:14He so loved his pug dogs that he gave them the status of his wives.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18Of course, the British, when they sacked Peking in 1860,
0:11:18 > 0:11:25they found loads of pug dogs in the Imperial palace and they imported them en masse back to Britain.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29So, you see, there's a lot that's very special about pugs,
0:11:29 > 0:11:32which I reckon will make this thing highly desirable
0:11:32 > 0:11:34were it to be resold.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38What's it worth? Well, you could buy it in a sale like this for £60.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Were you to sell it to a pug fanatic though,
0:11:41 > 0:11:45I reckon you'd get a cool 400.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Woof woof.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Abbey, how did you get on with the bargaining?
0:11:53 > 0:11:54Prefer one with a shade on top.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57But you always choose your own shade though, don't you?
0:11:57 > 0:11:59- Yeah, I suppose. - You always do your own shade.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00Guys, I think I've got good news.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- Oh, yeah. What is it?- 65.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- That is good.- Let's put this down.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- Looking at things. Let's have a look at that.- I think it's worth it.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- I definitely do. I really like it. - Do you want to go for it?
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- Yep.- Well done. I think we should get it.- We'll dedicate that one to your grandma.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16- Definitely.- Brilliant.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Swift work. Two down, one to go.
0:12:18 > 0:12:23You'd better start making some quick decisions, Jen and Lydia, if you want to catch the Blue team up.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Could I just interrupt? Are you interested in Art Deco?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- Am I? Yes.- I am. - Any interest in ceramics?
0:12:31 > 0:12:35- Yes.- OK. Can we walk quickly? - Yes.- OK. Right. Follow me.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Barby's getting all masterful.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44- So you've got one other thing to buy. Is that right?- Yep. We have.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45And are they good?
0:12:45 > 0:12:47They're receptive. They're interested.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- They're young, bright. - They're young, bright.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51- Like you and me.- Absolutely.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- Mirror image really, I'd say. Anyway, good luck.- Thank you.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- Right. What do you think? - What, the plates?
0:13:04 > 0:13:06They're actually stands for table.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10- If you had a hot terrine, you'd place it on the top so you wouldn't harm the table.- Yes.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13But they're bold colours, typical of the 1920s.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15They look nice. I like them.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16That's good. Good.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20A bit expensive, aren't they? Are they 44 or is it my eyesight?
0:13:20 > 0:13:24They are 44. They're £22 each. Very good mark there. James Kent.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27So many factories producing it, you look at this and think of Clarice Cliff.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30- Do I?- Jennifer, where have you been the last 40 years?
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Where have I been? Clarice Cliff. Yes.
0:13:33 > 0:13:38And it's that sort of palate, that sort of decoration, stylised flowers. So I think it's quite good.
0:13:38 > 0:13:43I had a quick word with the dealer and he's prepared to take £30 for the two.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Would you say that was good?
0:13:45 > 0:13:46- It's £15 each.- Yes.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50Can we do a bit more off with the dealer? Can we ask a bit more?
0:13:50 > 0:13:52He's come down 44 to 30.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- All right then.- What do you think? - Yeah. I think they're nice.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57- Yes.- Hold one, Jennifer.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Hold the other one, Lydia.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03Because I think they're quite attractive. I like these.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- Yes. We'll have those.- Yes.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- My prayer's been answered. - Hallelujah.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Can we have a look at something just round the corner?
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- Yes. Of course.- Right.- Right. Shall we settle on these?- Yes.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16I'm so delighted.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25You know you guys are thinking about, you know, something useful.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- Yeah.- I mean, why don't we look at something like a walking stick?
0:14:28 > 0:14:30- Yeah.- That is useful.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34- I know it's not very feminine at all.- We don't mind about that.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36But do people buy walking sticks at auctions?
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- Huge collectorship appeal for them. - Really?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41The plain ones, people aren't so excited about.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43But it's the white metal ones they quite like.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47- I quite like that one. - This here.- Who's that man?
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Well, you are historians, aren't you?
0:14:50 > 0:14:52So what happened in 1848?
0:14:52 > 0:14:56- Unification.- Yeah. And who was sort of in charge of Germany?
0:14:56 > 0:15:00- Bismarck?- Yeah, Bismarck, but who was their sort of king?
0:15:00 > 0:15:03I'm sorry. I'm an English historian.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05- Kaiser Bell.- Wilhelm.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Yeah. Yeah. So, Kaiser Wilhelm.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10- And then this is obviously... - Oh, that one.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Kaiser Bell being under the thumb.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- Oooh!- That's really clever. - You like that.- I like that.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17That's quite witty!
0:15:17 > 0:15:18- I do.- It's quite funny, isn't it?
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Yeah. It's in good condition as well.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23It is. Quite a heavy gauge of white metal.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27It is not marked anywhere if it's silver or not. It's good fun though, isn't it?
0:15:27 > 0:15:29- Yeah.- I do like that it's a bit of history as well.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32- Me, too.- It's not just old. It's got history behind it.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Shall I ask how much it is? It could be quite expensive.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- Yeah, ask how much it is. Check it out.- Shall I?
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- Yeah.- Do it.- Right. What do you think we would get it at?
0:15:40 > 0:15:43I don't know how much it would be.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Maybe...180.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49- I'll do 140 and that is rock bottom. - OK. So what do you think?
0:15:49 > 0:15:50£140 I've got it down from.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53It was 180. And I've got it to 140.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55We've spent 100, haven't we?
0:15:55 > 0:15:58- So we'll have 60 left.- 60 for me. - Yeah. I like it.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00- I like it.- I like the joke behind it.- Me, too.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02- You want to go for it? - Definitely.- Yeah, I think so.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06Well, that's brilliant. Third item. 45 minute shop.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08- That's really good. - 15 minutes left for a cup of tea.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Yep. Definitely. Or two.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Let's go and have that cup of tea then. Come on.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14- Thank you.- Easy peasy.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Blues done. Hurry up, Reds.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Right, Jennifer. It's your buy now.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20It is my buy.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22I want something bigger for my money.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24- Small is beautiful. - Is it?- So I'm told.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Let's have a quick wander down here.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Please do not pick up every little thing.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30- No. No. No. No.- Right.
0:16:32 > 0:16:3425% off everything on that table.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Jen, we've got some money to spend.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40- We have.- We have.- Nude ladies always sell quite well, don't they?
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Do what, nude ladies?
0:16:42 > 0:16:44We've got 15 minutes to spare.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Have you seen anything, Jennifer? It's your choice.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49I might have seen something on this stall round here.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51- OK. Lead on MacDuff.- Right.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55I'm quite happy with either of those items. I quite like that one really.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- That's a bit small. - It's small? It's huge.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02- It's small for our purposes but it does look attractive. - It does look attractive.
0:17:02 > 0:17:07- It reminds me of Victoriana, whereas, the one up there reminds me of the 1950s.- Does it?
0:17:07 > 0:17:08Yeah. Do you not think so?
0:17:08 > 0:17:12- 1950s?- I don't mind either. I like them both.- It's Bohemian glass.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14And they are wonderful glass manufacturers.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16They were in the 19th century and before.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17But I think it was made yesterday.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- Do you?- Yes. But that doesn't matter. It's got quality.
0:17:20 > 0:17:221950s, all the rage.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Flat furniture, G-Plan. It's all coming back,
0:17:25 > 0:17:28and this is very much capturing that particular style.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31I like it. Did you want to have a word with the gentleman?
0:17:31 > 0:17:33I will. What do you think?
0:17:33 > 0:17:34I'll do it for 70. >
0:17:34 > 0:17:37- Not 65?- I'll meet you halfway.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39- I'll go 68.- I'll see what he says.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43He'll do it for 68 but that wouldn't make us much, would it?
0:17:43 > 0:17:45No-one would go to 68 for that, would they?
0:17:45 > 0:17:47The point is we're running out of time.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- Yes.- I want to hold it.- Go on then. It's new, isn't it?- Course it's new.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54- Yeah.- And it's not that heavy if you're considering lead crystal.
0:17:54 > 0:18:01What I do like about it is that it's handcrafted and this has been spun whilst it's still a molten shape
0:18:01 > 0:18:05and then it's been pulled in at its corners there whilst it's still molten.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09It's what we term as case glass. So you can see the clear glass there.
0:18:09 > 0:18:16- And then you've got the dark glass with the gold inclusions encased within the clear.- What do you think?
0:18:16 > 0:18:21- Do you want to have another quick glance or do you want to decide on that?- No. I'll be going on forever.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23But I don't know if it would make a profit at 68.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- Well, it's your choice.- I know.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30- It's the only thing that's brought us a sort of positive reaction.- It is.- Isn't it?- Yes.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34- And you can see, when it sells, that I have no taste.- Oh, it'll sell.
0:18:34 > 0:18:35It'll sell. Don't worry about that.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Go and clinch the deal and we'll go and have a cup of tea.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41More tea. Mine's black. No sugar.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Hello. What's that, you say?
0:18:46 > 0:18:48- Time's up.- Time's up.
0:18:48 > 0:18:53Cor, doesn't time fly when you're enjoying yourself?
0:18:54 > 0:19:00The hour might be over, but our experts still have to find a bonus buy with the leftover lolly.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03The team can take it or leave it at auction,
0:19:03 > 0:19:07but it could make the difference between victory and defeat.
0:19:09 > 0:19:16But that's all for later. Right now, though, let's remind everybody what the Reds are pinning their hopes on.
0:19:16 > 0:19:23The Reds ladled out £30 for a silver arts and crafts spoon.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27They spent the same amount on David's Art Deco plate stands.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34And Jennifer was taken by the flamboyant glass vase.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- I'm so pleased that's over and done with now.- What a relief.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41- What a relief.- Absolutely.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44I think everybody's relieved, quite frankly. We're all relieved.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48You have not agreed on one single little thing, have you?
0:19:48 > 0:19:49- Not really.- No. What do you mean, not really?
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- Not really. Well, we semi-agreed... - Semi-agreed.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55..that my taste was rubbish.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Well, of course, the proof with all this,
0:19:57 > 0:20:00which is what so exciting on Bargain Hunt, is in the pudding.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03So how much exactly have you spent, Lyd?
0:20:03 > 0:20:06I think £128.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08You're, of course, not happy with that, are you?
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- Well, I think we should have spent more.- Yes. I quite agree.
0:20:11 > 0:20:12- I do.- But anyway, you spent 128.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15I would like £172 of leftover lolly.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18You want some change, do you? There's your leftover lolly.
0:20:18 > 0:20:23Leftover housekeeping. I'm going to hand this over to the long-suffering David Barby.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26- So right.- He's our hero actually. - He definitely is.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29You've got all that dosh and you've got to go off and buy
0:20:29 > 0:20:32the bonus buy but at least nobody's going to tell you what to do, David.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Absolutely. They've got such diverse tastes.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39So this time, Tim, I'm going to buy something that I like.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43Buy something that you like that's going to make a big profit. And good luck with that.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:20:48 > 0:20:52They really got cooking with the toy kitchen range.
0:20:52 > 0:20:58And all agreed, £65 was the right price for the Clarice Cliff vase.
0:20:58 > 0:21:03Finally, they just strolled off with a commemorative walking stick.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06- Now for that cup of tea. - Yeah. Cup of tea.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Well done, girls. I think you've done rather well.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10- What's all this? You finished? - Yeah.- Yes.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- That's a result, isn't it?- Do you want to join us for a cup of tea?
0:21:13 > 0:21:16I'd rather do the leftover lolly really. How much did you spend?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18- £240.- Yeah.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Yes. That's a good number is £240.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- Not cheap, these girls, are they? - Not cheap but it's good fun.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Good fun. £240. So there's 60 notes left over.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- You've got the 60 notes? - Yeah.- You got that crispy?
0:21:30 > 0:21:32- Yes.- Thank you very much. - Thanks, Tim.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34- OK, Timbo. What's this then? - This is our last item.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36It's your last item. This is rather good, isn't it?
0:21:36 > 0:21:40Do you know what I'm going to do with this? I'm going to give you the stick, Thomas.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44Going to knight you, Sir Bargain Hunt. Arise.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Anyway, I'm not giving an opinion on that. Thank you very much.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49- Here's £60 anyway.- Thank you.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51You like that. See, straightaway, he snatched it.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54What are you going to do with it? It's not for you, you know.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55I've seen something very stylish.
0:21:55 > 0:22:00Have you? Good. Well, you'd better hobble off and find it then.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Anyway, good luck, girls. But for us though, while Tom goes off
0:22:03 > 0:22:07and weaves his magic wand, we're going off somewhere magical too.
0:22:07 > 0:22:12We're going to Canons Ashby in Northamptonshire. Ooh ahh.
0:22:19 > 0:22:24Canons Ashby, home to the Dryden family since the 1550s
0:22:24 > 0:22:28and let me tell you, there's more to this manor house than meets the eye.
0:22:28 > 0:22:35In 1708, Edward Dryden was running his own successful London business.
0:22:35 > 0:22:42He was married to a wealthy well-connected wife and on top of all of that, he inherited this.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43The family pile.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Lucky chap, what.
0:22:46 > 0:22:53Edward was a dedicated follower of fashion and couldn't resist making a few changes here and there.
0:22:53 > 0:23:00In the dining room alone, Edward lowered the floor so as to improve the proportions of the room.
0:23:00 > 0:23:05He added costly Wainscot panelling, so that it was warmer.
0:23:05 > 0:23:13And, of course, he added the must-have early 1700s feature, which is sash windows,
0:23:13 > 0:23:18so that you could enjoy the recently landscaped gardens more easily.
0:23:26 > 0:23:31Edward and Elizabeth sure did understand about the finer things in life.
0:23:31 > 0:23:36And here, in the dining room, we've got a very rare survival of their time.
0:23:36 > 0:23:43A solid silver tea kettle, which was commissioned by them in 1712.
0:23:43 > 0:23:48It was made by Thomas Sadler, a famous silversmith in London.
0:23:48 > 0:23:55And it remains nigh on 300 years later still in the house for which it was made.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58These things are extraordinary objects, aren't they?
0:23:58 > 0:24:04The scale of the tea kettle and the gauge of the metal in it exude quality.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06It's polyagonal, not round.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09It's got these chamfered sides.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13It's got a handsome and imposing swing overhead handle,
0:24:13 > 0:24:17all thoroughly worked out for your convenience.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21This section being in turned mahogany, so that when it gets hot you don't hurt your hand.
0:24:21 > 0:24:27And, of course, it's got another heat-proof knob on the top.
0:24:27 > 0:24:34The lower part forms an elaborate stand with these C and S scrolls making up the legs.
0:24:34 > 0:24:39And the centre section is the part that would have held a reservoir of methylated spirits and the cover
0:24:39 > 0:24:45encloses a hole through which the wick would have extended.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49And when the tea kettle was delivered to the dining room,
0:24:49 > 0:24:53it would be lit and the flame would literally heat
0:24:53 > 0:24:56the bottom of the kettle and keep the water warm.
0:24:56 > 0:25:01Now you might think that you'd then shove some tea into the kettle and brew it.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Well, you wouldn't, because there would be a separate teapot
0:25:04 > 0:25:08within which you'd do the brewing. This thing is simply for the water.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Of course, tea was fantastically expensive.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13A pound of tea apparently in the early part of the 18th century
0:25:13 > 0:25:18cost five bob and that's the equivalent of £400 today.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22Wow. The big question today is, of course, are our teams going to need
0:25:22 > 0:25:25tea and sympathy over at the auction?
0:25:28 > 0:25:35We've travelled to the outskirts of Derby to be with Charles Hanson at Hansons Auctioneers.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36- Charles, how are you? - It's been a while.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40It's been a while. Missing you already.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Now, Jennifer and Lydia have got this little whacky group here,
0:25:43 > 0:25:48including this spoon, which looks as if it should be 1907,
0:25:48 > 0:25:50but in fact it's 1946.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53It's charming. It's rustic.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57- You mean it's made by hand.- Correct. - Thanks, Charles. What's it worth?
0:25:57 > 0:26:00- Well, £15-£20.- OK. £30 paid.- Right.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04- Now, these teapot stand jobbies. Bright and breezy.- Yes.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06- Trying to be Clarice Cliff, but not. - They are.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10What does a poor man's Clarice Cliff in the way of a teapot stand make these days?
0:26:10 > 0:26:11Condition is everything.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14They're in good condition. The enamelling hasn't flaked.
0:26:14 > 0:26:19James Kent. OK. Mediocre name, but from that wonderful period of the mid to late '30s.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- Between £25 and £35. - Perfect. £30 paid.- Good.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- So that's bang in the middle. - OK.- David Barby at his best.
0:26:25 > 0:26:31- And Jennifer has gone with this, well, what shall we call it, a vase? - A centrepiece. A table centrepiece.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34- Yes.- Come vase.- It would be Murano? - I think so.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36- Yes.- And its value is decorative.
0:26:36 > 0:26:41- What I quite like about it, it's rather like a cornucopia at the bottom.- Indeed.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45You've got this curly Q scroll. Up it comes to a trumpet, but for me,
0:26:45 > 0:26:47it completely loses it from that moment on,
0:26:47 > 0:26:51because we then come up to this outpouring of glass here on the top.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53So do you rate it at all, Charles?
0:26:53 > 0:26:57I think its value will be fought between £20 and £35.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59- £68 paid.- Right.
0:26:59 > 0:27:04Well, that's enough to send anybody into a tailspin, so they're quite likely to need their bonus buy.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Let's go and have a look at it.
0:27:07 > 0:27:12Now, you girls, you gave David Barby £172 of leftover lolly,
0:27:12 > 0:27:16which is a small fortune. What we want to know is has he blown the lot?
0:27:16 > 0:27:18I didn't blow the lot. And this is what I bought.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22A little French beaker. Date-wise, probably middle of the 19th century.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26Beautifully engraved all the way round with this initialled cartouche.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29- What do you think?- Can I?
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Well, I agree with you.
0:27:31 > 0:27:32I think it's very nice.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34I can't quite see all the cartouche.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Have a go at these, look.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40Try that on and see whether you can see something with those.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- Those are plus two and a half. - Plus two and a half.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45- Oh, that's much better. - There you go, you see.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Can I borrow them?
0:27:47 > 0:27:49- Lydia, do you think that's good? - Yes. I do.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53I hope this bit will make some money because I don't think ours will.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57Jennifer, you have a handle. Do you need two and a halfs, or one and a halfs?
0:27:57 > 0:27:59- Can I be of assistance? - Well, I may as well.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03- You may as well. What do you think about that?- Yes.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Good. Well that's been a great success, David.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09- Are we allowed to ask how much you paid for it?- I bought it for £55.
0:28:09 > 0:28:14- OK.- Jennifer, what do you think? Would you have bought that for 55?
0:28:14 > 0:28:17- What, me? - Yes. For £55.- Could I say no?
0:28:17 > 0:28:20- You wouldn't have done. - No, Jennifer wouldn't.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23- I feel as though I'm in a magistrates court.- Yes!
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Well, I'm going to pronounce you guilty anyway.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28And for the viewers at home,
0:28:28 > 0:28:32let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about David's little beaker.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34- So, Charles, over to you.- Thank you.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36- You're our beaker expert. - Yes.- Plain, isn't it?
0:28:36 > 0:28:38It is plain. It's simple. It's restrained.
0:28:38 > 0:28:42I would have guessed it's going to be around 1830, 1850.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46- It's got this curious etched design on it, hasn't it?- Yes. It has.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48I think 1830, 1840's fine for that.
0:28:48 > 0:28:54Also the gauge of silver's a lot thinner here, so we know that an earlier mark has been erased out.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56- Right.- Just maybe, just from the feel of it.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58- It could be, couldn't it? - The gauge is slightly slimmer.
0:28:58 > 0:29:04- Where are we coming from? - Well, I would evaluate it today between £30 and £50.- £55 paid.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06- Right.- David Barby rates it.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08The proof will be in the pudding and who knows,
0:29:08 > 0:29:12the lovely Reds may not go with their expert. Anyway, that's it for them.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14Now for the Blues. And what whacky things they've got.
0:29:14 > 0:29:19- Charles, you don't play with toys much these days, do you? - I'm past that, sadly.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22Yes, but you could easily have had a set like this in your toy box.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25- It's kitsch, isn't it?- It is kitsch.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27It's got such a charming look about it.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31In your kitchen you could have this little range set up
0:29:31 > 0:29:35- and thoroughly enjoy looking at it as a decorative piece.- Yes.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37I think it's absolutely charming.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40It's complete. It's fairly comprehensive.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44- I don't think any of these pots are later editions.- Yes.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46And our guide price would be between £20 and £30.
0:29:46 > 0:29:47OK. £35 paid.
0:29:47 > 0:29:52Next is the handled Clarice Cliff jug. How do you rate that?
0:29:52 > 0:29:57If it was a tennis pattern in that great Art Deco gaudy design it would be a jug worth £2,000 or £3,000.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00It isn't. It's at the other scale, where we are at that more...
0:30:00 > 0:30:03- Boring really. - Boring. It's in good condition.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05A whacky handle. But that's really it.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09OK. It's got a whacky handle and it's boring. What's it worth?
0:30:09 > 0:30:12Well, my guide price is between £30 and £40.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16- £65 paid.- OK.- That could be a bit of a struggle.- Yes, it could.
0:30:16 > 0:30:21But they are absolutely pinning their hopes on this walking stick. How do you see it, Charles?
0:30:21 > 0:30:24Well, when I first picked it up it felt heavy,
0:30:24 > 0:30:28which sent alarm bells ringing, because I suspect
0:30:28 > 0:30:31rather than being 1900, 1920, I think it might be more...
0:30:31 > 0:30:35- 1962.- Exactly, '70s. - Or even '80s.- Exactly.
0:30:35 > 0:30:40This is absolutely crucial when coming up with the valuation, because your liability
0:30:40 > 0:30:44as an auctioneer, if you sell this as being around 1900
0:30:44 > 0:30:49- and it turns out to be a later fake, then you're in trouble, aren't you? - Indeed.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51You're describing it as a later copy, are you?
0:30:51 > 0:30:53I am describing it as a later copy, Tim.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57I'm happy it's a decorative but later commemorative cane.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01Fine. But it's going to torpedo the £140 they paid, isn't it?
0:31:01 > 0:31:03Between £30 and £50.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05- Is your realistic estimate. - Yes. It is.- For a copy.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07I think you're absolutely sound there, Charles.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10If we're right, they're going to need their bonus buy.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Let's go and have a look at it.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16Now, Christie and Abbey, you spent £240. You gave Tom £60.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18What did he spend it on?
0:31:18 > 0:31:21A very nice Art Deco lamp base.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25It's in glass on an octagonal base.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27- I like it. - It's quite cool, isn't it?
0:31:27 > 0:31:28When was it made?
0:31:28 > 0:31:31Probably made 1930s I would say.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33I mean, it's a real Thomas Plant special.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35- Lovely.- £30. I see a profit in it.
0:31:35 > 0:31:40- You may have convinced me. - It's a good thing. It's a really good-looking object.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42You can imagine that in a living room.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45- And quite young for a younger audience?- I suppose. Yeah.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48- It looks quite '70s to me. - It is growing on me.- It looks '70s.
0:31:48 > 0:31:54That's interesting because a lot of derivative design in the '70s is from the '30s so that's very smart.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57- No. I like it. - Anyway, you watched his lips. Right.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01You heard him say it's going to make, £40, £60, £80 even.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05If you need to, you can choose it later, but right now, for the audience at home,
0:32:05 > 0:32:08let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Tom's lamp.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10- OK, Carlos.- Thank you, Tim.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14- There's something a bit special for you.- First of all, the weight of it.
0:32:14 > 0:32:15It's heavy for the right reasons.
0:32:15 > 0:32:20And chrome-mounted, it's obviously glass rather than being anything else like Bakelite.
0:32:20 > 0:32:21- I think it's period.- Good.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25- Having said all that, Charles, what's it worth? - Between £30 and £40.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28Great. Planter only paid £35, so he's spot on in the middle.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31With any luck, there's some potential for making a bit more.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33- I think so.- I think so too.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39All done? Gone.
0:32:39 > 0:32:45What do you do if you really, really love somebody and you want to give them a present?
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Well, you find something special, don't you?
0:32:47 > 0:32:51If we look at this object, it doesn't look particularly special.
0:32:51 > 0:32:57In fact, it looks exactly like a tin of paint with a detachable lid
0:32:57 > 0:33:00and hey presto, it has no paint in it.
0:33:00 > 0:33:04What is special about it though is the fact that it's solid silver.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08Here's the London hallmark, look, for 1906.
0:33:08 > 0:33:09But if I turn it round,
0:33:09 > 0:33:15you get to understand the personal mystery of this particular tin.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18And it says, "Rubio. 1908.
0:33:18 > 0:33:24"To Jack, from Bronuwski." So there you have it. Lucky old Jack,
0:33:24 > 0:33:29in 1908, was presented with this special tin.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31So where does this Rubio come in to it?
0:33:31 > 0:33:34Well, if you look it up, Rubio is Spanish.
0:33:34 > 0:33:40And it means blonde or light. And the idiomatic use of that word
0:33:40 > 0:33:45is used to describe blonde tobacco or Virginia tobacco.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48Hey presto, this is no paint tin.
0:33:48 > 0:33:53It's a very special solid silver Edwardian tobacco tin
0:33:53 > 0:33:57that's been presented to Jack, presumably he's a pipe smoker,
0:33:57 > 0:34:01and he would have had his tin of tobacco on his desk,
0:34:01 > 0:34:07lovingly inscribed by his Bronuwski. And there you have it.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11A very special object that you could use today on your desk
0:34:11 > 0:34:13for practically anything.
0:34:13 > 0:34:17It's priced up in the auction at £30 to £50.
0:34:17 > 0:34:21And at that, I have to tell you, it is something of a snip.
0:34:23 > 0:34:2618. 22.
0:34:26 > 0:34:32- So, Jennifer, so Lydia, this is exciting, isn't it?- It is. Yes.
0:34:32 > 0:34:36- We hope it is.- First up is your spoon, Lydia. And here it comes.
0:34:36 > 0:34:40A very nice arts and crafts style silver spoon, shaped bulb,
0:34:40 > 0:34:43pierced terminal, London, 1946.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45I'm only bid £12.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48Do I see 15? 15. 18. 20. Two. Five.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51I'm out. Do I see eight now? Eight.
0:34:51 > 0:34:5530. Two. Five. Eight. 40. Two.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Five. One more, sir.
0:34:58 > 0:34:59Isn't that lovely?
0:34:59 > 0:35:02- That's a surprise.- At £42. All done.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04We say sell and standing at £42.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06- Fantastic!- What a surprise.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08- Well done, Lydia. - Ye of little faith.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11Plus 12. You're £12 up. Here we go.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14These James Kent, circular dish stands, each very richly enamelled,
0:35:14 > 0:35:17with colourful flowers and leaves on a yellow ground.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19I am bid £20 here. Do I see two now?
0:35:19 > 0:35:22Look at them. £20. Two. Five. Eight.
0:35:22 > 0:35:2330. And two, sir.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27- Come on. Come on. - I'm out. Where's five? Come on.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29At £32, do I see five now, surely?
0:35:29 > 0:35:32At £32, surely five. Come on.
0:35:32 > 0:35:37One more. Fair warning that we are selling at £32 to you, sir.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39£32. Plus £2. Well done, David.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41A profit.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43Oh, dear. Now the vase.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46A very, very fine 1950s glass vase.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48Could be Italian. There we are.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52Well, I'm bid £10 for it. Do I see 12 now? Just look at it for £10.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54At ten. Where's 12? And 15.
0:35:54 > 0:35:5718. 18. 20, madam.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59Two. Come on. £20. Where's two?
0:35:59 > 0:36:02Quickly. Quickly. Quickly. 20. Once.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Twice. One more, madam. Two. Five.
0:36:04 > 0:36:09- One more. At £25.- Look at that.- 30.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13You can't lose it now, surely. One more, ma'am. 30. Two. Five.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16- We're getting so near. One more. - Look at this, Jennifer.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19- He's so good trying. - One more, ma'am. 35. 38. 40.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23You're in, sir, at £38.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25Fair warning, all done. Take 40.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28At £38, the gavel falls to you.
0:36:28 > 0:36:33You're minus £30 on that, which means overall you're minus £16,
0:36:33 > 0:36:35which is not bad.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38- It could be a winning score, minus 16.- I don't think so.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41- You don't think it will be. - A winning score?- Could be.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44- Most definitely not.- Why not, if the Blues don't do very well.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47My instinct tells me there's going to be some good things.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49- OK.- Are we going for the beaker?
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Can we go for your beaker?
0:36:51 > 0:36:54- It's entirely your hands, not me. - Yes. We will.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57Silver beaker. Engraved with floral scrolls.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00Initialled AP, we believe it to be around 1830, 1840.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02I am bid £20.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04Five and 30. I'll take two now.
0:37:04 > 0:37:0630. I'll take two for it. Come on.
0:37:06 > 0:37:11- 30 I'm bid. Where's two? Come on. 30.- I want to put my hand up.
0:37:11 > 0:37:1330. I'll take two. Five. Eight, sir. One more. 38.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15And I've got 40. And two.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17I'm out. I'll take five now.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20At £42. Fair warning. All done.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23We say sale at £42.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Bad luck, David. 42. That's minus 13.
0:37:25 > 0:37:29That's not right. Minus £29. Could be a winning score.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31Just don't tell the Blues a thing.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Five. 55.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Come on, sir. One more. It's yours.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42Next up is the paint tin.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45Here it comes. Estimate £30 to £50.
0:37:45 > 0:37:49Isn't it wonderful? Silver syrup tin, Edwardian, London 1906.
0:37:49 > 0:37:54Lots and lots of interest. I'm in at double the estimate at £100 now. Do I see 110?
0:37:54 > 0:37:57110. 120. 130. 140. 150. 160. 170.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00I'm out. Do I see 180 now? At 170.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04Do I see 180, surely? At 170. Fair warning. All down to you, sir.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07We say sold at £170. I'm out and you're in, sir.
0:38:07 > 0:38:12Well, that's not bad, is it? Six times the low estimate.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14Rubio, eh. Lovely.
0:38:16 > 0:38:17Five. Eight, sir.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22Now, Christie and Abbey, do you know how the Reds got on?
0:38:22 > 0:38:25- No.- No idea.- You don't want to know, I can tell you.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29Abbey, your doll's kitchen set I think is divine.
0:38:29 > 0:38:30You paid £35 for it.
0:38:30 > 0:38:35He's estimated £20 to £30, but surely, someone somewhere
0:38:35 > 0:38:38- must just fall in love with it as it's a great object.- It's lovely.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41So you should get away with at least a wiped face, all right.
0:38:41 > 0:38:45- And here it comes.- It's a 1950s miniature tinplate cooker range
0:38:45 > 0:38:48with 14 various cooking utensils. There we are. I've got no bids.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50Ohhh!
0:38:50 > 0:38:52But do I see £10?
0:38:52 > 0:38:57All these hands going up. Ten. 15. 20. Five. 30. Five. 40.
0:38:57 > 0:39:01In green. One more. 40. Five. Are you sure?
0:39:01 > 0:39:0345. 50. No, she says.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06At 45, the lady. I'll take 50 now.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08That's very good, Abbey.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11Well done. Well done, you two.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13At £45. The gavel is falling.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15Well done, ladies. That's lovely.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18- Brilliant.- That's £10. You must be pleased.
0:39:18 > 0:39:23- We are. Very.- 1930s Clarice Cliff My Garden pattern jug. There it is.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26A handle of turquoise berries. In good condition. I'm only bid £20.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29Do I see two now? 20. I'll take two.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32And come on. Look at it. Two. Five. Eight. 30 I've got.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Two and I'm out. Where's five?
0:39:34 > 0:39:40I'll take five now, surely. Five. 40. Five down here. 45. 50. Five.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42- One more. Go on.- Come on.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44I'll take five. One more, sir.
0:39:44 > 0:39:4850. I'll take five. Once, twice and three times. We're selling.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50At £50, the gavel falls.
0:39:50 > 0:39:54- Minus 15, which means overall you're minus five.- Minus five.
