0:00:01 > 0:00:04Hello and welcome to... Oh, dear, there seems to be a
0:00:04 > 0:00:08bit of a problem with the transmission today, viewers.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10Let's see if I could give you a hand?
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Bang, bang!
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Ah! That's better.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16Let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hello and welcome to sunny Nottinghamshire.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54We're at Newark at one of the largest antique fairs anywhere
0:00:54 > 0:01:02in Europe, and today we're playing happy families with teams made up from one particular family.
0:01:02 > 0:01:07The big question is, are they going to be one big happy family at the end of the show?
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Well, let's not get into a flap about this!
0:01:12 > 0:01:18Let me introduce you to the Meigh family. For the Blues we have Joe and Ed Meigh.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Oh, where's my brother gone?
0:01:23 > 0:01:28And for the Reds grandad Bill and dad Paul Meigh looking lively!
0:01:30 > 0:01:33But at the auction which pair of Meighs will come out on top?
0:01:33 > 0:01:34Meigh or Meigh?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Come on! Yes!
0:01:40 > 0:01:45Well, bargain hunters, you know it's not all about me, me, me, but today, curiously enough,
0:01:45 > 0:01:50it is all about Meigh, Meigh, Meigh because everybody on the show today is called Meigh.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53I feel a bit of competitive spirit here today.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Absolutely, yes.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Yes, because I think this has to be a first on Bargain Hunt.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02I don't think we've ever had a whole family team of Reds and Blues and
0:02:02 > 0:02:05it's going to be very interesting to see how it all comes out.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07What do you do as a job then, Paul?
0:02:07 > 0:02:09I work at Ibstock Brick, it's my main...
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- My main job, and in my spare time I drive coaches.- Do you?
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- It's my passion, really.- Is it?
0:02:14 > 0:02:18But you're not an ordinary brick producer because you've just had an award, haven't you?
0:02:18 > 0:02:24I have had an award, yes. For my 25 years service I've just been awarded... Given a lawnmower!
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- But while we're on awards, Tim... - Yeah?
0:02:27 > 0:02:30I'd like to present you with this, something I knocked up at work.
0:02:30 > 0:02:35- It's a little brick to pop on your desk.- You've kept this very quiet!- I did, yes.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37- I shall treasure it. Thank you very much.- That's OK.
0:02:37 > 0:02:42And such a brilliant surprise, too. I'll just tuck it underneath my arm.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45- So, Bill, you're up against the grandchildren today, right?- Yes.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48All this youth, are they going to run you ragged?
0:02:48 > 0:02:50- No, no chance.- Really?- No chance.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- You're pretty fit. - I think so, for my age, yes.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55And what do you do to keep so fit?
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Well, I do quite a bit of walking with my wife and with Paul.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01And you're very keen on biking, too.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05Well, I was in my younger days, I did quite a lot of cycling.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09I once cycled to Skegness and back from the town where I live,
0:03:09 > 0:03:13- which is Colville, in a day which was very difficult.- How far's that, then?
0:03:13 > 0:03:15It was about...
0:03:15 > 0:03:20It's getting on for 90 something miles each way, but it was a very hard ride.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21180 miles!
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- Yes.- And was it oh, so bracing when you got to Skeggie?
0:03:24 > 0:03:27We didn't stay there long enough to find out!
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Well, that's fantastic.
0:03:29 > 0:03:34Now, what sort of forfeit are these kids going to have to pay you
0:03:34 > 0:03:37if they happen to fail?
0:03:37 > 0:03:44Well, if they fail their forfeit is to cook a three course meal for me, my wife and my mum and my dad.
0:03:44 > 0:03:45And that's the challenge, is it?
0:03:45 > 0:03:48So how do you feel about this then, boys?
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Not really that confident, to be fair.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52I don't do much cooking at home.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56But listen to me, Joe, you're in the catering business, mate, this should be easy!
0:03:56 > 0:04:00- Not really the catering business. - What do you mean?
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- I work in a fast food place! - Oh, do you? Now, Ed...- Yeah.
0:04:03 > 0:04:10What is going to be the forfeit if your father and grandfather lose today?
0:04:10 > 0:04:12- WHEN they lose...! - Ah!
0:04:12 > 0:04:16..they're going to have to wash my car and wash Joe's moped after we've
0:04:16 > 0:04:19taken them out, obviously.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22You're what they call a pretty good driver, Ed?
0:04:22 > 0:04:27- I'm a fantastic driver. - Yeah, tell us about one of your early driving experiences, mate.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Well, I had my driving test, passed it in the morning and
0:04:29 > 0:04:32then that afternoon I took my mum's car out and rolled it into a ditch.
0:04:32 > 0:04:37- Did you?- Yes.- And was your mother's car a write-off as a result of your
0:04:37 > 0:04:41- half day's driving experience? - Yes, it was, yes.
0:04:41 > 0:04:47I'm sorry to reveal that, Ed, because you didn't really want me to talk about that.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50But it is a classic and I can understand why there is some
0:04:50 > 0:04:54competition between you lot which is marvellous.
0:04:54 > 0:04:59- Are you ready for this money moment? - We are.- You are. Well, look, there's 300 smackers there.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01- Thank you very much. - You've got your £300.
0:05:01 > 0:05:06You know the rules, your experts await and off you go and very good luck.
0:05:06 > 0:05:11So which team will see its family fortune rise today?
0:05:11 > 0:05:12And our experts?
0:05:12 > 0:05:16Well, for the Reds a girl who always likes to make a splash?
0:05:16 > 0:05:18It's Catherine Southon.
0:05:19 > 0:05:24And steering the Blues through stormy weather James Lewis.
0:05:24 > 0:05:29This fair is so vast our teams had better be careful exactly how they spend their time.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Remember, they only have one hour.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35They have to find three items and they have £300 to spend.
0:05:35 > 0:05:40It sounds so easy, doesn't it?
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Well, let's find out how they get on.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Have you any ideas on what you want to buy?
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Not... Not particularly.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50- Do we want to spend big?- No.- No?
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- No. Oh, really. Not too big.- No.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54No, because the less we spend, the less we can lose.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56What are we going to find today?
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Well, I want to find something quite unique, something...- Unusual.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Go for unusual, yes. Something a bit quirky.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05We're going to try and look for something sporty like fishing,
0:06:05 > 0:06:08hunting something like that because...
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- He's quite picky, isn't he? - He is, yeah.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15The only thing we're going to find here is a cold, so shall we go inside?
0:06:15 > 0:06:17- Yes!- Come on.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Strange things, strange things.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- Give me a shout when you want to move...- Can we have a quick look?
0:06:25 > 0:06:29- Yeah, absolutely.- It's going to be quite hard for us today.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Yeah, it's not easy in an hour.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Where's my brother gone? What's that?
0:06:42 > 0:06:44It's interesting, really.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49It's Persian and it's papier mache and it's a pen box, a travelling pen box.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53So that would be for quills, sometimes they'll have a section for ink.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- This one hasn't got it. - How old would you say it is?
0:06:56 > 0:07:03That's the question, really, because they've made them in this form
0:07:03 > 0:07:08from 1600 right the way through until the 1920s, 1930s.
0:07:08 > 0:07:14This one is probably second half of the 19th century, so 1850 to 1900.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- What's your best on that one?- 35.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- 35.- What do you think?
0:07:20 > 0:07:24- It's up to you whether you. - What's your gut instinct?
0:07:24 > 0:07:27If it was in your saleroom?
0:07:27 > 0:07:29You're either going to love it or hate it.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32You can't look it up in the book and it tells you it's worth £40.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34So it's all about instinct.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38- I quite like it, I think it's good. - And your instinct says?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- I like it.- Right, OK then. Yeah.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- I can see it making £65, £70.- Yes.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- What can we get it for? - Yeah. 35.- Is that his best?
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- Ask him if it's his best or not. - We may as well go for it, Ed.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51He's taken 12 off for us already.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53I can ask him, but I don't think he will.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57- Oh, no, he won't! - We'll go for it.- Yes, we'll have it.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58- OK.- Thank you very much.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Just out of interest, has it got a name?
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Something along those lines, Joe.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09I think we're doing really well.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11I think that's going to make a good profit.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Getting into a bit of a roll.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Get in the swing of it and get some more items.
0:08:18 > 0:08:24I'm hoping dad and granddad aren't doing as well is we are.
0:08:24 > 0:08:30- That's quite nice.- It is. Is it a little bit battered round the top?
0:08:30 > 0:08:31You normally take this off...
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- Yeah.- Pour yourself a little drink in there.- Yeah.
0:08:34 > 0:08:39And then obviously you've got this little aperture here so you can see how much...
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- It's OK?- 50 quid for that, yeah.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44It's not silver.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47What's at the bottom?
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Walker and Hall, Sheffield.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51It's probably... Oh, it's plated.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55If you can get that for sort of, I don't know, 20, 30 quid.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Use your bargaining skills.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Catherine?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- What do you think of my fox? - I like this.- Yes, I do as well.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04I think that's a nice piece.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- It's unusual. - Yeah. So he's like some sort of
0:09:07 > 0:09:09- paperclip or something?- Yeah.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Sit on your desk.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13He's got the country theme, as well.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15I guess you could sort of hang it up with the...
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Holes at the back, yeah.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18There's no markings or anything.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21No. I do like that. I think I need to ask the guy.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24I can see that sitting on a... A sort of businessmen's desk or...
0:09:24 > 0:09:26- Yeah, yeah.- I quite like that.
0:09:26 > 0:09:31- Right.- His best price is 40. That's a bit...
0:09:31 > 0:09:36I mean, if you could get both of them together, maybe get a deal...
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- Get a better deal. - On those, yeah.- Yeah.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40- Yeah, yeah.- He might be willing.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- Yeah.- Could you do deal if we bought both of them?
0:09:42 > 0:09:46Bought both of them together?
0:09:46 > 0:09:48- What could you do on that? - 140 for the two.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52- It's still a bit... - It is still a bit...- Much.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- A bit much.- A bit out of our range.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Could I tempt you with a 120 for the two?
0:09:57 > 0:10:00No, I'm afraid not, sorry.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04- Can I just have a quick look at that?- Yeah. The top twists off.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06We'll take them both.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- Sure?- Yeah.- Are you?- Yeah.- 100%?
0:10:08 > 0:10:12- You, dad?- OK, yeah.- Yeah.- I think we both like sort of country...- 100%?
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- 100%.- Yeah, we'll go for it.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Things are looking up for the grown ups.
0:10:17 > 0:10:23They've bought a hip flask and a paperclip, but the boys are struggling.
0:10:24 > 0:10:29- This way or this way? - I don't know where we're going!
0:10:31 > 0:10:35OK, guys, we're halfway through, only bought one thing.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37I think outside is our best bet.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- Yeah.- Yeah. - It's stopped raining at last.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Hey, guys.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Oh, my word! That's all right.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45How are you feeling?
0:10:45 > 0:10:47- Yes, yes.- A bit horny?!
0:10:47 > 0:10:52- A little bit!- Naughty! Anyway, so, you've bought two items...- Yes.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54- Very, very quickly. - Yeah.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57And you're on your third item now. So, how's it going?
0:10:57 > 0:10:59We think we're doing quite well.
0:10:59 > 0:11:00- Yes.- We're doing quite well.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03As long as we're beating them boys that's all that matters!
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Well, we can't tell you about that until the auction,
0:11:06 > 0:11:08but are you feeling confident, Catherine?
0:11:08 > 0:11:12I was until you said you're quite happy. Now I'm...
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- No, I am, I am.- Are you happy?
0:11:14 > 0:11:17That item I found I'm very happy with.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21I thought it was a little bit pricey, but I loved the item. Absolutely loved it.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22If you're happy, I'm happy.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25And if you're happy, I'm happy.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27And if I'm happy, you're happy.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31# Bring me sunshine in your smile... #
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- What do you think? - Big improvement!- Nice(!)
0:11:34 > 0:11:38# Bring me laughter all the while
0:11:38 > 0:11:44# In this world where we live there should be more happiness
0:11:44 > 0:11:47# So much joy you can give
0:11:47 > 0:11:50# To each brand new bright tomorrow... #
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- That's an old corkscrew, isn't it? - It's really old.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57There are lots and lots of corkscrew collectors out there. Loads of them.
0:11:57 > 0:12:04And thinking in terms of those people that buy fine wines, they like corkscrews, unusual corkscrews.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Some of the rarer ones can make thousands of pounds.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08- Yeah.- Is this a rare one?
0:12:08 > 0:12:10No, it's not!
0:12:10 > 0:12:15I mean, it books at about 20 quid. We've lost the end of the worm.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18But it is nice, I like it. It's quite strange.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Is there a profit there? We've got to be thinking profit and...
0:12:22 > 0:12:24How much time we've got left.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25- I'm just trying to think.- 15 quid?
0:12:25 > 0:12:29It was a successful model, so they made it for a long period of time...
0:12:29 > 0:12:36So you can get modern ones which is quite cheap up to £20, but that's an early example of that type.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40- It's got a bit of age to it.- Yeah.
0:12:40 > 0:12:45And it has a good look. I mean, it hasn't been cleaned in years.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47- Would 15 quid be any good to you? - 15 quid?
0:12:47 > 0:12:53- No. No.- 16?- It's not mine anyway, it's my son's, but... No.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57- It's 20, is it?- Is there any better you can do than 20?
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- 16? - I can't. - Nothing at all.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Not even a couple of quid? Not 18? >
0:13:04 > 0:13:06- Go on.- Just a couple more quid. - Go on, 18 quid.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08- 18 quid. - Go on, then. - Yes!
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Well, done, boys! Yes?
0:13:10 > 0:13:12- Yes, yes.- We'll have it.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Thank you very much.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17You have to buy me coffee now.
0:13:17 > 0:13:24Let's leave the boys out in the cold while we look at a lady doing her best to stay toasty.
0:13:24 > 0:13:30Are you a duvet person yourself or are you old-fashioned and like the sheet and blanket technique?
0:13:30 > 0:13:34I have to admit I'm quite fond of a duvet because the nice thing
0:13:34 > 0:13:37about it is you can just a fling it off if you get too hot, right?
0:13:37 > 0:13:41Well, here we've got an example of early duvet work.
0:13:41 > 0:13:48If you look carefully at this lovely girl she's lying back, her arms going over her shoulder.
0:13:48 > 0:13:55She's just waking up in the morning and, of course, she is deliciously tucked up under her duvet.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58This is a duvet with a kind of frilly edge.
0:13:58 > 0:14:04It's been cast with every crease of her body underneath the duvet
0:14:04 > 0:14:07and the thing is thoroughly modest.
0:14:07 > 0:14:12It dates from around about 1900 and of course it's made of bronze,
0:14:12 > 0:14:16but this duvet is a bit of a cover up, I have to say.
0:14:16 > 0:14:21And if I give it a bit of a flip...
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Ah-ha! It reveals all!
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Just look at that.
0:14:25 > 0:14:31This is one of these little mildly pornographic Austrian bronzes
0:14:31 > 0:14:36which were absolutely number one favourite at around 1900.
0:14:36 > 0:14:41Gentleman would be sitting in a smoking room and pass a
0:14:41 > 0:14:45little paperweight like this around
0:14:45 > 0:14:51and just fling the duvet off for the fun of it literally revealing all.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55And if I turn her upside down you can see,
0:14:55 > 0:15:00pleasantly planted on one cheek it says Bermann, not Bergman
0:15:00 > 0:15:05which you might expect on a little Austrian novelty bronze like this,
0:15:05 > 0:15:08but Bermann, who apparently worked
0:15:08 > 0:15:11with Bergman and he's got his little seal mark here,
0:15:11 > 0:15:17FB for Bermann, with W underneath for Vienna.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Absolutely charming.
0:15:19 > 0:15:24And if you really, really fancied her,
0:15:24 > 0:15:29well, she could be yours...for £920.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32That's what I call the 920 tog!
0:15:32 > 0:15:37Right, from one cheeky lady inside to one cheeky lady outside.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- How much do you want for this?- £75?
0:15:40 > 0:15:43£75! It's got chips.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45I know, I'm not charging you for those.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- What else have we got? - Warm up a bit.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Are you not really happy with what you were seeing?
0:15:56 > 0:16:00- Not really. Not really, you know... - Not quite that...- A bit tatty.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03I think the others have had all the good buys.
0:16:03 > 0:16:09- Well, Bill, you'd better buy something because you've only got 20 minutes left.- Keep going, bro.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Head down a bit further, yeah?
0:16:11 > 0:16:15Now, are the brothers starting to feel the pressure?
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Just keep an eye out, anything.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21- Anything that gets your eye, just grab it.- Guys!
0:16:21 > 0:16:24- Come on, Joe.- Coming.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30What do you think about old bits of broken pot?
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- Does it sound attractive? - Not really...- No.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36- Do they look attractive? - No.- Not really.
0:16:36 > 0:16:41- I knew you wouldn't like them. OK? - Broken.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- So what's special about these, then? - OK, well, look underneath.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46The Crown and D mark.
0:16:46 > 0:16:52That's for Bloor period Derby, 1811 to 1820 and this is known as Imari.
0:16:52 > 0:16:58It's 200 years old, you've got a pair of them, the handles at the sides are always broken.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00This is a serpent handle,
0:17:00 > 0:17:04There was a ring linking that tail to the body.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- And both are broken there. - And 200 years old?
0:17:07 > 0:17:10They're 200 years old. They're known as the campana shape.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- Yeah.- Yeah. Price tag of £48.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14And you think...
0:17:14 > 0:17:19While you were running off over there ahead of me I asked her, she said £30.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21And what do you think on £30?
0:17:21 > 0:17:23- They've got to be worth 50 or 60. - Yeah, it sounds like a bargain.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26If you think there's a profit there, then, yes.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28I'm not going to say I like them a lot.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Do you know, the thing is if you were doing a game where
0:17:31 > 0:17:35- it was something to buy to keep, then it's important to like it. - Yeah.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38In this game one of the biggest mistakes people make is when
0:17:38 > 0:17:41they try to do bargain hunting, they buy what they like.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44What's the point in buying it if you have to sell it again next week?!
0:17:44 > 0:17:48It's not about always what you like, it's about where there's a profit.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51- It's bargain hunting.- Yeah. - I think they're a bargain.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53- OK, then.- Yeah?- If you think that's a bargain, perfect.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- Yeah, let's do it.- Thank you. - Thank you very much.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Well, that's the boys done and dusted.
0:18:00 > 0:18:01What about dad and grandpa?
0:18:01 > 0:18:06Could I have a look at the Vesta case, please? The straw work Vesta case?
0:18:06 > 0:18:10Yes, I think it's prisoner of war work, isn't it?
0:18:10 > 0:18:14- This is a beauty.- Thank you. - Isn't that lovely?
0:18:14 > 0:18:17If you open this up...
0:18:17 > 0:18:19- It's like horn or something on the inside.- Yeah.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23And then obviously in the bottom you've got... Whether it's ivory...
0:18:23 > 0:18:25- It looks more like the ivory, the striker.- Yes.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28It looks like it's made from ivory. Early 19th century?
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Yeah. That's what we say, yes.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- What's your best price on that, though?- 85.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34I can't do anything better.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37That's my lot.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41- Right, well. We'll carry on looking for a moment. - But thank you very much.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43It's absolutely beautiful that.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- It is, it's a beauty and... - A superb item.
0:18:46 > 0:18:53Now, gents, I know that Vesta case price tag was a bit rich, but you've only got five minutes left.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Ah, they're back!
0:19:01 > 0:19:05Excuse me, the Vesta case. You told me your best was 85.
0:19:05 > 0:19:10- 85.- Is there any way I can squeeze a little bit more?
0:19:10 > 0:19:14Um, just a little. Well, it will be a little bit.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15Yes.
0:19:15 > 0:19:1880 will be my very, very best.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- Well, at £80... - And I cannot move after that.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24- What do you think, Catherine, at 80? - The quality is fantastic.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28- I think it's absolutely lovely.- Dad? - Yeah, go for it.- Yeah?
0:19:28 > 0:19:30- We'll take that, thank you.- Lovely.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Don't blame me, will you?
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- No, no.- Yes! Yes!
0:19:38 > 0:19:45Now, our teams may not have any more time, but they do have money left over from the £300.
0:19:45 > 0:19:51That leftover lolly will be spent by the expert on an item which will be sold at the auction.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55We'll find out what the experts buy later in the programme,
0:19:55 > 0:19:59but right now let's remind ourselves what the Reds have bought.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03Bill and Paul scored a double whammy buying two items together.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06They spent £40 on a hip flask.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10And £100 on a paperclip.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17Finally, they dug deep and bought the Vesta case for 80.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- And how much did you spend overall? - We spent £220.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Did you really? That is a number, isn't it?
0:20:24 > 0:20:26I love it when you go shopping.
0:20:26 > 0:20:27£220 is excellent.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29£80 of leftover lolly, yes?
0:20:29 > 0:20:31That £80 comes to me and straight to Catherine.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33- Thank you.- You're not too tired?
0:20:33 > 0:20:36You've got some inspiration to go and spend that wisely?
0:20:36 > 0:20:41I'm pretty exhausted, actually, Tim, but I will give it a go because these two are lovely.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42Isn't that charming?
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Anyway, we're going to check out what the Blues bought.
0:20:45 > 0:20:51Joe and Ed jumped at this Persian papier mache pencil case
0:20:51 > 0:20:52costing £35.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55They hope to uncork a vintage profit
0:20:55 > 0:20:59with the French corkscrew bought for £18.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02They spent £30 on this pair of damaged Derby vases.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Fingers crossed, boys!
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Now, tell me, how much did you spend overall?
0:21:07 > 0:21:11We spent a grand total of £83.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13- All over...- All over!
0:21:13 > 0:21:19For £83. You're a monkey, you are, I tell you. £83, so I want...
0:21:19 > 0:21:21What do I want? I want 100 and...
0:21:21 > 0:21:23I want £117, don't I?
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Yes, yes, absolutely. That's exactly what he wants.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27- 117.- 217.- No!
0:21:27 > 0:21:30I want 217! Give me £217.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33- You almost got that, Tim. There you are.- You almost got away with it.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36OK, well, there's £217. It goes straight back to James Lewis.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- Lovely.- I hope you're going to spend the lot, James.- I'll try.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Well, very, very, very good luck.
0:21:46 > 0:21:51While our experts browse for their bonus buys I popped over to
0:21:51 > 0:21:56Hughenden Manor in Buckinghamshire, home to the Victorian Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli.
0:21:56 > 0:22:01His personality is stamped all over this house from the study where he
0:22:01 > 0:22:09wrote many of his great speeches to the library where his novels and political works line the walls.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13But there's another important presence that's all
0:22:13 > 0:22:21pervasive through this house and it is of course the sense that Queen Victoria is here
0:22:21 > 0:22:25with Disraeli, which in a way she is, or was,
0:22:25 > 0:22:30because in a most unusual show of personal friendship
0:22:30 > 0:22:37and affection for her Prime Minister she agreed to come here for lunch.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41Queen Victoria had been in seclusion.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45She'd lost Prince Albert, she retired entirely from
0:22:45 > 0:22:52public life, which was a nightmare for her political advisers, including Disraeli.
0:22:52 > 0:23:00In this painting we see Queen Victoria displaying her most severe public face.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04It's a painting that she had commissioned from the court artist Angeli.
0:23:04 > 0:23:10This is certainly Victoria's "we are not amused" face.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14Her friendship with Disraeli really was extraordinary.
0:23:14 > 0:23:21This normally severe and rather reserved woman certainly opened up to him.
0:23:21 > 0:23:27He was, of course, a great flatterer, he used to call her his Fairy Queen,
0:23:27 > 0:23:34and this friendship developed to such an extent that Queen Victoria, for her own collection, had Angeli
0:23:34 > 0:23:41paint a portrait of her Prime Minister, a copy of which is hanging above the fireplace here.
0:23:41 > 0:23:46Both of the portraits today in the dining room look down at the table
0:23:46 > 0:23:51much as it would have been for Victoria's visit in 1877.
0:23:51 > 0:23:57The chairs are 17th century style and in oak, but you
0:23:57 > 0:24:02sharp-eyed bargain hunters will note that the height of the chair here
0:24:02 > 0:24:07is slightly higher than the heights of this particular chair.
0:24:07 > 0:24:12That's because he wanted his Queen and Empress to be comfortable
0:24:12 > 0:24:16and she liked to sit and eat with her feet flat on the floor,
0:24:16 > 0:24:23so he had the estate carpenter chop a couple of inches off the feet of this particular chair.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Marvellous, isn't it?
0:24:30 > 0:24:37Benjamin Disraeli died on 19 April 1881 and Queen Victoria
0:24:37 > 0:24:43erected this magnificent marble tablet in his memory.
0:24:43 > 0:24:48That in itself was a very rare thing for her to do.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52Indeed, it scandalised certain sections of society,
0:24:52 > 0:24:57but she so admired this man who had created her Empress of India
0:24:57 > 0:25:04and she admired the fact that instead of being buried in pomp and circumstance in Westminster Abbey,
0:25:04 > 0:25:11which would have been his right, he decided instead to be buried here simply in his parish church.
0:25:32 > 0:25:37Well, we've cracked down to Market Harborough to be with Mark Gilding.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41- How very nice to see you. How are you?- Very good, Tim.
0:25:41 > 0:25:49Very well. First up, then, is this plated and snakeskin covered spirit flask which Bill and Paul went with.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51- Right.- How do you rate it, Mark?
0:25:51 > 0:25:54I think it's really quite nice. It's...
0:25:54 > 0:25:57It's got a snakeskin rather than a crocodile mount on it, a good
0:25:57 > 0:26:01- variation on a fairly standard item that we see in the saleroom.- Yeah.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04And it should do OK in the sale.
0:26:04 > 0:26:05They paid £40. What's your estimate?
0:26:05 > 0:26:08- We've got 30 to 50. - £30 to £50. Well, that's perfect.
0:26:08 > 0:26:14Next is this paperclip and what do you think that is? Is it a wolf?
0:26:14 > 0:26:16- I think it may be a fox.- Ah!
0:26:16 > 0:26:20And it works. Nickel. It's a handsome object, I think.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22- It is, very good.- Yes.- Nice quality. - They paid a ton for it.
0:26:22 > 0:26:27- Wow, did they?- That's wiped the smile off your face. What do you think it's worth?
0:26:27 > 0:26:31- I've put £50 to £70.- Have you?- Yes.
0:26:31 > 0:26:37But, finally, and I think most charmingly, is this little straw work Vesta case.
0:26:37 > 0:26:42I mean, when have you seen one in such good condition and with all those lovely bright colours?
0:26:42 > 0:26:46- A long time ago.- I mean, they're rare as hen's teeth, aren't they?
0:26:46 > 0:26:49And with its ivory scratching bottom to it.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51- It's got everything going for it. - It certainly has.
0:26:51 > 0:26:57- What's your estimate?- I've got again 50-70.- Have you?- £80 they paid.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01Well, the more I look at it, the more meaner I think I'm being.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05- If they've paid 80 we've got a good chance of making a bit on that for them.- OK.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08I think across the three items, depending on how the straw
0:27:08 > 0:27:13Vesta does, they may or may not need their bonus buy, but let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Well, boys, you spent £220.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- We did.- Which was quite magnificent.
0:27:18 > 0:27:23£80 of leftover lolly went to lovely Catherine. What has she spent it on?
0:27:23 > 0:27:24OK.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Now...
0:27:26 > 0:27:31- Wow! Right.- I know you don't know what to say, but turn them over and have a little look.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33- Let's tip them out and have a look. - Yeah.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36Now, they're a little set of Bakelite buttons.
0:27:36 > 0:27:41Now, if you look each one is engraved with a little fox's head.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44- Yeah, they're lovely.- Thinking along the lines of the country pursuits,
0:27:44 > 0:27:47- as I know you are interested in that sort of thing...- Yes.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51I saw them and thought I had to buy those because they had your names written all over them.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54- Foxy, you mean?- Foxy, absolutely.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56And how much did you pay for these, Catherine?
0:27:56 > 0:27:57- I paid £35.- Oh, right.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01- It might be a bit of a gamble.- You think they'll make a profit?
0:28:01 > 0:28:04I would like to think so because they're something a little unusual.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08- What sort of age are they? - They're 1930s.- Oh, right.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11- And they're Bakelite, so there we are.- I do like them.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13- Yes, I do as well. I like them, yeah.- Are you sure?
0:28:13 > 0:28:17- Yeah.- Yeah! Perfect for this auction house, yeah.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19You don't have to decide now whether you'll take them,
0:28:19 > 0:28:22you take them after the sale of the first three items maybe,
0:28:22 > 0:28:29but for the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Catherine's buttons.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32So, there we go, look, Bakelite buttons.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36Yes, well, let's have a look at these and see what we've got here.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40So, Bakelite buttons with a fox engraved on them.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Not very interesting, are they, really?
0:28:42 > 0:28:44Well, what I'd call dull, really.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48I mean, A, because it's Bakelite, that's not particularly interesting.
0:28:48 > 0:28:53- You'd rather have horn or...or ivory maybe or silver.- Yeah, absolutely.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56- There are far better examples of these that we see.- Yes.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58And, yeah, that'd be a struggle.
0:28:58 > 0:29:03- The only thing that goes in their favour is the old foxy, isn't it? - It is. Again, with a local theme.
0:29:03 > 0:29:07But we're going to perhaps get £20 or £30 for these.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09£35 paid by Catherine as a bonus buy.
0:29:09 > 0:29:14Of course, the team don't necessarily have to go with them.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16We shall see what happens. Ha!
0:29:16 > 0:29:18That's the fun of Bargain Hunt.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21Anyway, that's it for the Reds, now for the Blues.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24- They were completely led by their expert...- OK.
0:29:24 > 0:29:29..James Lewis and the first item that James found is that pen box.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32Now, do you not think that is the most belting item?
0:29:32 > 0:29:37- Yeah, extremely good quality. - Very good, isn't it? - It's a very good thing.
0:29:37 > 0:29:44I mean, that box in good condition, beautifully restored in an Islamic sale is worth £1,200.
0:29:44 > 0:29:461,200 to 1,500. What's your estimate?
0:29:46 > 0:29:47We've got 30 to 50.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51£30 to £50! Now you're talking my language!
0:29:51 > 0:29:56No, seriously, it's very difficult, isn't it? Because I say £1,200 quite glibly when it's done.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00- Yes.- That's a lot of restoration to go into that and a risk that
0:30:00 > 0:30:04- at the end of the day it may look absolutely ghastly.- Yes.
0:30:04 > 0:30:10So, all we need is two people, each with a very good restorer and the confidence to have a go at it.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13Good old Lewis, frankly, for spotting this for £35
0:30:13 > 0:30:17because it's got all that speculative froth to it.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20You could have some excitement and it might make £200 or £300.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23- Yeah, there's a very good chance of that.- Yeah. Good.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Next is the zigzag corkscrew.
0:30:26 > 0:30:31It's an interesting variation on a corkscrew. Condition is vital.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33The helix is broken,
0:30:33 > 0:30:36don't want to get half a cork out of a bottle.
0:30:36 > 0:30:41So, with the broken helix, that's that twizzly thing down the end, what do you think it's worth, Mark?
0:30:41 > 0:30:44- £30 to £50.- OK, £18 paid. - OK.- So they've still done well.- Yes.
0:30:44 > 0:30:49- If they get anywhere near your estimate they're in profit... - Very good.- ..which is good.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Next up are the Bloor Derby campana vases.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55- They look like a couple of wreck jobs, don't they?- Yes, been dropped at some point.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Extensive damage on these.
0:30:58 > 0:31:03- So, what's your estimate? - £50 to £70.- Well, that's not bad. They only paid 30, you see.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07£15 each for a bit of period Bloor Derby is not bad, is it?
0:31:07 > 0:31:09- A very good buy. - Even though they're damaged.
0:31:09 > 0:31:15I have a funny feeling that this team is going to do extraordinarily well with their three items,
0:31:15 > 0:31:20principally on the pen box, I have to say, and if I'm wrong on that I don't mind being corrected.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24If it doesn't do so well, they might need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:31:24 > 0:31:28- OK, Joseph, Edward, how are you, kids? - All right.- Not too bad.- Not too bad.
0:31:28 > 0:31:33- Yeah, you're up for this, aren't you?- Yeah.- Now, you spent this pathetic £83.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35I don't know when I've seen such a paltry total.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38Look at them giggling like children, all three of them!
0:31:38 > 0:31:40And you're in on this, too, Lewis!
0:31:40 > 0:31:42You're just as bad encouraging them.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45Anyway, you gave £217 to Lewis, right?
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Has he been out and blown the lot?
0:31:47 > 0:31:49Go on, James, show us your wares.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52- Oh, Lord! - LAUGHTER
0:31:52 > 0:31:55It's a Chinese root carving of the god Karua.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59- It's the bird-headed god. - I mean, it's beautifully carved.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02- I like it! I like it, I like it. - You're falling in love with it!
0:32:02 > 0:32:06I tell you what, just pass it over, James, these boys are itching to handle it, right?
0:32:06 > 0:32:11Because that, Ed, he knows a bit of quality when he comes across it.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13- Yeah!- And, Joe, do you fancy that?
0:32:13 > 0:32:18- I like it. I think it's strange. - Strange.- Strange, yeah.- It's strange, I'll give it that, yeah.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20- It is strange. - What do you think it's worth?
0:32:20 > 0:32:24- I think that should make £50 to £80. - And how much did you pay for it?
0:32:24 > 0:32:27- I paid £25 for that. - Yeah, that's all right.
0:32:27 > 0:32:28That's OK, actually.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31You don't have to choose right now.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34You just remember the words of your godlike expert when
0:32:34 > 0:32:39it comes to the moment critique after the sale of your first three items, but for the viewers at home,
0:32:39 > 0:32:44let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about James Lewis's old bird.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47Here we go, Mark, how are you on bird gods?
0:32:47 > 0:32:52I know you're pretty good on birds, but I don't know about the god bit.
0:32:52 > 0:32:57Well, it's essentially a bit of tourist ware from the 1930s, 1940s.
0:32:57 > 0:33:02It's not your standard British piece of souvenir ware, is it?
0:33:02 > 0:33:05- Quite a lot of work's gone into this, hasn't it?- Yes, in terms of...
0:33:05 > 0:33:08the time gone into making it. It's not a bad example...
0:33:08 > 0:33:09- No.- ..of its type.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11Of a bit of carving.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15You have to gird up your loins here and think of an estimate. What are you going to estimate?
0:33:15 > 0:33:21- 40 to 60.- Very good. £25 paid by the ultimate bird god, James Lewis.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Ha, ha! Cunning old monkey.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27But we've got to achieve it in the auction first, haven't we, Mark?
0:33:27 > 0:33:29- Absolutely, yes. - And that's your next role.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32- It is. We'll start in a few minutes. - Good luck.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Father and son, eh?
0:33:44 > 0:33:46- Yes.- How lovely! Any nerves at all? Feeling nervous?
0:33:46 > 0:33:49- Excitement more than nerves, I think.- Yeah, I think that's right.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52You're desperate to beat those kids, aren't you?
0:33:52 > 0:33:55- Absolutely. Yeah!- The worst thing that could happen is losing to them.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58Your first lot up is your hip flask.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00Let's have a quick nip at this, shall we? Here it comes.
