0:00:03 > 0:00:08Do you ever read those personal columns in the newspaper?
0:00:08 > 0:00:12The ones next door to 'lost and found'.
0:00:12 > 0:00:13Just listen to this one.
0:00:13 > 0:00:18(HE READS) "Cast and crew of top-rated TV programme
0:00:18 > 0:00:23"would like to meet charming, dark-haired intelligent presenter
0:00:23 > 0:00:25"for midday fun and frolics.
0:00:25 > 0:00:29"Must have GSOH and excellent legs."
0:00:29 > 0:00:32(HE LAUGHS) I think I might apply.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Let's go bargain hunting.
0:01:01 > 0:01:07Today our teams will be tooling around the Royal Welsh Showground
0:01:07 > 0:01:09here at Builth Wells.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12There are literally thousands of stands
0:01:12 > 0:01:16to choose their antiques and collectables from.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19So they'd better have their wits about them!
0:01:20 > 0:01:27Ha! On the Red team, psychic mediums Jasmine and Pat have the spirits leading them a merry dance.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31- How much time have we got left? - To run all the way up there again? - Eight minutes.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- Come along. - I'm with you.
0:01:36 > 0:01:41While on the Blues, Rachel and Les have good spirits on their mind.
0:01:41 > 0:01:47- Shall we have it?- I think while we've both got you agreeing, from what I've heard, we should go for it.
0:01:47 > 0:01:52But will these teams be haunted by any of their decisions?
0:01:52 > 0:01:57- Do you really think these are gonna make us money, Jasmine?- I guarantee it.- (BOTH LAUGH)
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- Yeah.- It's "On your head be it," so she says.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Cripes.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08The rules of this game are so simple even our crew know them.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10- ALL: Oh, no, we don't! - Oh, yes, you do!
0:02:10 > 0:02:13How many pounds does each team have?
0:02:13 > 0:02:15ALL: 300!
0:02:15 > 0:02:17- How many objects do they buy? - ALL: Three!
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- How long do they have to shop? - ALL: One hour!
0:02:20 > 0:02:22There you are, you DO know!
0:02:22 > 0:02:23ALL: Oh, no, we don't!
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Ooh, who'd ever work with children and animals?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29And they're a scruffy lot, aren't they?
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Unlike our teams. Ha!
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- Ah, here you all are. Hello, everyone.- ALL: Hi, Tim.
0:02:35 > 0:02:41Lovely to see you. Now, Jasmine, how did you and Pat meet?
0:02:41 > 0:02:47Well, we were both on our way, separately, to Eastbourne for a psychic mediumship course.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52Pat was actually in my way, so I nearly barged her off the platform in Eastbourne.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56There could have been a memento and her talking to me from the other side.
0:02:56 > 0:03:01Well, quite. And there'd have been a lot more twitching on the table.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05So, how did you get interested in the medium world, then, Pat?
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Well, I've always had a general interest, really,
0:03:08 > 0:03:11but it was a strange thing.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- My friend had lost her dead dog. - Lost a dog?
0:03:13 > 0:03:18And she was really sad about it and she asked me just if I thought doggies come back.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20- Do doggies come back? - Yes, of course they do.
0:03:20 > 0:03:25- Do they?- Definitely. - Do they come back and bark at you? - This one was twitching.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Is somebody in the spirit world gonna be helping you today?
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Most definitely so. I'm sure they're rooting for us.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34One of the things that we can do is to take an object
0:03:34 > 0:03:36and, by using psychometry,
0:03:36 > 0:03:39then you pick up on the vibration of that object
0:03:39 > 0:03:41and then you can hopefully tell the history of it.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- From the vibrations? - From the vibration.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Do you get a lot of vibrations, then?
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- On a Friday night after a few jars. - Oh, yeah. Anything can happen.
0:03:50 > 0:03:55Patricia, what I want to know is, what are the sprits saying to you today
0:03:55 > 0:03:57about your winning potential?
0:03:57 > 0:03:59I'm gonna shine while everyone else glimmers.
0:03:59 > 0:04:04(HE LAUGHS) You're gonna shine while everybody else glimmers. I do love a prediction.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- Seriously, though, I wish you very good luck.- Thank you, Tim.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10And we shall see what happens in a moment.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14But I would think, if I was the Blues, I'd be quaking in my boots.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Don't think we stand a chance, do we?
0:04:16 > 0:04:20So, Rachel, explain to me, darling, how is it that you come here today?
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- We applied five years ago. - Never.- Yeah.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27- I'm ashamed.- And we had a phone call and I didn't believe them.- No.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- So what did you say? "Stop winding me up"?- Yeah.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35- A colleague said, "Bargain Hunt want you." I said, "Don't be ridiculous." - That's what I'd say.
0:04:35 > 0:04:40- Five years later.- Yes. - But the two of you, what's your relationship?
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- Do you go out together, or what? - Ooh, no. He's my stepfather.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- He's your what?!- Yeah. - He's your stepfather?!
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- There's 19 years between us. - Get away!
0:04:49 > 0:04:51I either look old or he looks young.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Leslie, what do you do? Take tablets, or what?
0:04:54 > 0:04:56- It's the spirits. - Is it?- (ALL LAUGH)
0:04:56 > 0:04:58- What? Scotch, gin? - Yeah.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01And how do you think you're gonna get on today, Rachel?
0:05:01 > 0:05:03I think we might argue.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07- Why's that, then? Do you normally argue?- Well, we bicker.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- You bicker. - Yeah, cos I'm normally right and he's normally wrong.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14- Is that right? - No, I'm usually right, she's usually wrong.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17I can see we're gonna have trouble today. This is gonna be a riot.
0:05:17 > 0:05:22OK, children, here's your £300 apiece. There you go. You know the rules.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26Your experts await. And off you go! And very good luck.
0:05:26 > 0:05:31Two psychic mediums, eh? Who would have predicted that?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Time to start the shopping,
0:05:34 > 0:05:38and Jasmine's already had a message from the other side.
0:05:38 > 0:05:45And I've got in mind a wooden box with maybe brass corner pieces on it, not too large, but...
0:05:45 > 0:05:46This is something that you've...
0:05:46 > 0:05:51Yes, yes, that's come to me and I really would like to see if we can get a piece today.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55(HE GROANS) Les and Rachel can't decide if they're even on the same side.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57He'll go that way and I'll go that way.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Well, let's start together, shall we? Over here.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Ah, Jasmine's found her boxes.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07- MAN: Is that all brass inlay? - I think it's painted on.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11I mean, they're just trying to simulate the brass inlay, are they?
0:06:12 > 0:06:14No.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17This was obviously a card box at some point.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19There's another one over there.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24- We're probably looking too hard. It will probably jump out at you. - It will do.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Let's look for other things and then it will find you.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Can you see that in your crystal ball, then, Jonathan?
0:06:31 > 0:06:36Look out, Les and Rachel are being drawn to the world of spirits.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38- Does that little bottle tag come with it?- MAN: Yeah.
0:06:38 > 0:06:43Lovely. So, what we've got, this is the tantalus, and a brass top here.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- And it's locked here at the side. - Oh, right.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49Cos, of course, liquor is and was a pretty valuable commodity.
0:06:49 > 0:06:54So it was locked in, and the top would open up and you can get the decanters out.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57And I did notice one of them has a wee bit of a chip
0:06:57 > 0:06:59just to the side, there.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03Do you see that? But, I have to say, they're really nice, heavy cut glass.
0:07:03 > 0:07:08Cos that's really important, cos the cheaper decanter is moulded glass rather than cut,
0:07:08 > 0:07:12but you can feel with your hand it's got really sharp facet edges there.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16The stoppers fit well, and the stoppers are all matching, which is nice.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- What do you think? - Very nice. How much is it?
0:07:19 > 0:07:21- 175. - 175.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23That's quite a lot of our budget, isn't it?
0:07:23 > 0:07:25What's your best for us, sir?
0:07:26 > 0:07:31- Come down to 150.- 150? - That's dead on half, then, isn't it?
0:07:31 > 0:07:35- It's the first stall we've been to. - Do you think we'd make something on the auction at 150?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38At 150? It's a tricky one.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41The good things are you've got a nice set,
0:07:41 > 0:07:49and at auction I would probably estimate it at 80 to 120, something like that.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51- You wouldn't go any lower? - 125.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54125. That's quite good, isn't it?
0:07:54 > 0:07:58- Yeah. I do like it. I do like it. - Yeah, I do like it as well.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Can you do a nice round hundred?
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Seeing as it's Bargain Hunt, I'll do 110.
0:08:03 > 0:08:08- Shall we have it?- I think, while we've both got you agreeing, from what I've heard, we should go for it.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Happy spirits. (HE HICCUPS) Those Blues.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Do you know what that is? It says it's for papers.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19- Do you know how it's decorated? - No.
0:08:19 > 0:08:24- That is what you call pokerwork. - Oh, right.- They used to burn the pattern in with a hot poker.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- Right.- It's quite nicely done. I mean, you know, it's kind of quirky.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31The influence is sort of the Art Nouveau of the late 19th century.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Everyone was doing arts and crafts at home,
0:08:33 > 0:08:36so this is the sort of thing someone would have made.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37It's a bit dark, perhaps, maybe.
0:08:37 > 0:08:42For the modern taste. No price on it whatsoever.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Just before I asked you ladies what you thought of it,
0:08:45 > 0:08:48the chap said he'd do it for £45.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- I don't dislike that, I must admit. - Yeah.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53- But it's only an idea. - It's a pity it's so dark.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57- I like the way that they've continued that onto there. - Yes, exactly.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59- Could we come back to that? - Of course.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- We might knock him down a bit more. - We might knock him down.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- Might HAVE to knock him down. - Yeah, that's right.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09Hmm, did they get any vibrations off it, I wonder.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17- I love things like that. - The card case. That's very nice.
0:09:17 > 0:09:22- That is lovely.- It's quite a lot of money, still, though, and we have just spent quite a bit.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25It's up to you. We can look at it, certainly.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28We have 165 on that. It's Birmingham 1907.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29Lovely. Thanks.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33It's really nice, clear hallmarks just inside there,
0:09:33 > 0:09:37but it's great-quality engraving all around it.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40And a lovely little shape. And it would have been for calling cards.
0:09:40 > 0:09:46So, when you went visiting in 1907 and the lady of the house wasn't in, you would leave your card.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- Oh, right. I haven't seen one of those before.- That's lovely.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Yeah. (HE GROANS) Here we go again, "That's lovely."
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- Do you like it, Les? - Well, actually, I do.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- But the price is the trouble. - Yes.
0:09:58 > 0:10:03It does sound a lot of money, doesn't it? But that is English silver, it's over a hundred years old.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06It's hallmarked, also, on both sections.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Can you see? Just on the top there and on the bottom.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14And engraved all the way on the back, there, these lovely floral leafage scrolls.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18I love that sort of thing. But it is expensive, isn't it? For our budget.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21What can you do? The lady's fallen in love.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25Oh, well, lady's in love, right.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29The very best I can do on that would be 140.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- I can take £25 reduction, yes. - Off.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36- Would you like to have a think?- Yeah, in case there's something else.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- Yeah. It is quite a chunk, isn't it? - Yeah.- But it's a really nice, quality piece.
0:10:42 > 0:10:47It's a possible. Meanwhile, Jasmine's got another feeling coming on.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50That's rather nice, actually.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54- It's got two hands.- MAN: The three for a hundred. They're all silver.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- Do they work?- We don't know. - OK.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59That's rather pretty, that is.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Get three watches for £100.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05You wanna buy three watches for £100?
0:11:05 > 0:11:08This is what the offer is. That's rather a pretty one.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12- If I said 75...- Yeah. - It's a gift.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17- Are the dials in good condition? - That one isn't.- A chip on the outside.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Why buy a watch? Is it something else you thought?
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- Yes, yes. And I think that they're... - It makes it interesting.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26And if anything you buy has come from some sort of an inspiration
0:11:26 > 0:11:29then we'll go for it and I'll just see how you do.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31I'll tell you what I'll do with you.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36You wanna gamble? Would you like a gamble?
0:11:36 > 0:11:40- (SHE LAUGHS) - Would you say yes to a gamble?
0:11:40 > 0:11:44- Possibly.- Give me 60 for the three. - 60 for the three?
0:11:44 > 0:11:47I think that's a fair gamble, seeing as they're silver.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51- Do you wanna consult Pat?- I want to consult Pat.- Or we just buy it?
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Or, I say, do YOU want to buy it anyway?
0:11:53 > 0:11:58- No.- He's not gonna do £60 if you walk away, I expect, so maybe you should just part with the money.
0:11:58 > 0:12:04- No, it's quoted.- Do you want to make that decision?- Yes, I'll make that decision on those three watches.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08- Fine. Job done. Won. - Thank you very much, sir. Thank you.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- Beautiful.- Thank you. - Wonderful.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Pat! (SHE LAUGHS)
0:12:15 > 0:12:18- I've bought three watches, £60, sorry.- Oh, my God.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22- I think they're beautiful. £100 to start with, I got him down to £60. - Well, very good.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26- Now, this one isn't working.- Oh. - But... (SHE LAUGHS)
0:12:26 > 0:12:31Those two are. I just thought they'd look absolutely beautiful, maybe.
0:12:31 > 0:12:36- Yeah, you really think these are gonna make us money, Jasmine? - I guarantee it. I guarantee it.
0:12:36 > 0:12:41Now, what does Jonathan think about Jasmine's guarantee?
0:12:41 > 0:12:43My prediction is about 35 quid.
0:12:43 > 0:12:48There's a £25 loss in them. If we make more than 60, I'm a monkey's uncle.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Only time will tell, Jonathan. Cheeky monkey.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53What do you think about her?
0:12:53 > 0:12:57Is she one of the ugliest people you ever did come across?
0:12:57 > 0:13:02Once upon a time, this was a perfectly plain creamware oval plaque.
0:13:02 > 0:13:08On the back, it's been initialled by the artist, JNG, in an oval.
0:13:08 > 0:13:13And up above that is a little identification mark for a specific artist.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16An artist who is as yet unknown.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20If we look at the front, what he's created is
0:13:20 > 0:13:26a charming, mystical Eastern view with this incredibly ugly girl in the middle.
0:13:26 > 0:13:32All of that's enamelled by hand, and then the whole plaque has gone into a reduced kiln
0:13:32 > 0:13:38and, at low temperature, the colours have been fired onto the ceramic.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41So, this simple, incredibly ugly picture
0:13:41 > 0:13:45has actually involved a considerable amount of work,
0:13:45 > 0:13:48and that's where I think it gets interesting.
0:13:48 > 0:13:53Because nobody would be doing this without some purpose. I rather like it.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55I think it's got potential.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58I think she's so ugly that she's really rather lovely.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01The other nice thing about it is the price.
0:14:01 > 0:14:07All that work, all that intrigue, all that mystery, all that research to be done
0:14:07 > 0:14:11could be yours for 45 quid.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15Now, from one ugly old mug to another. Not you, Kate.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- He's well-armed, isn't he? - He is.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24- Looks in good condition. - And these are always titled at the back.
0:14:24 > 0:14:29This is impressed 'The Guardsman'. And we've got the Royal Doulton mark on the bottom, here.
0:14:29 > 0:14:34And these character jugs, I mean, they're quite fun novelties, really.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37This one, part of a series.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41Here we go, Character Jugs from Williamsburg, that was the series, here.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44They've all got a serial number, but he hasn't got a great deal of age.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48You can tell from this mark, here, he's a relatively later one.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- There's no cracks on him, is there? - He's in good condition.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Let's ask the lady what she could do for us on it.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57- Do you like that, do you?- Yeah. - It's shiny.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- Hi. What can you do on this for us? - What have I got on it?
0:15:00 > 0:15:03- You've got 55, I think. - I could go to 50.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07- He's not an old one, is he?- No, he's not. He's the second series.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10- So it's gonna be '60s.- It is. - Yeah, indeed.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Right. So, 1960s.
0:15:12 > 0:15:17The older '30s, or '20s, '30s, ones are the more commercial ones, aren't they?
0:15:17 > 0:15:21- And they would cost...- A lot more. - So 45, is that your really very best?
0:15:21 > 0:15:24We could probably only afford about 35.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28Oh, I can do it for 40, but it's my lowest.
0:15:28 > 0:15:33Up to you. I mean, I know you like it. I have to say to you, my feeling is you're not gonna make much profit.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37Well, that's what you want to do, isn't it? So...I don't like it at all.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Let's have a think.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43- All right, then, 35. And that is my final offer.- 35?
0:15:43 > 0:15:45- Yeah.- I like him. I want him, yeah.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49- 35 it is, chaps. - Yeah.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51It's "On your head be it," so she says.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54- (HE LAUGHS)- That's exactly what that face means, yeah.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Oh, dear. It's not easy.
0:16:01 > 0:16:06- Possibly to match this. - These would be little match... little vesta cases, I think.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10- They are indeed vesta cases. - What are they?- For matches.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13People collect them, so they are perfectly...
0:16:13 > 0:16:17- Are they silver?- Perfectly saleable, yeah.- Yeah, I'd have said so.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19- I think the paper stand is a better choice.- Right.
0:16:19 > 0:16:25OK, that makes two out of three with not a lot of time left.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27No. I think we'd better get a move on.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29- OK. - Well, I can run.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37- Ooh, here it is. - Go on, get it, Pat.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40- What do you think?- Yes, go on. We liked it first time round.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Let's get it. Is this yours, sir?
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- It is, yeah.- What's the best you could do that for, please?
0:16:46 > 0:16:48You can have it for 40.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53- 38?- OK. - Lovely. Thank you very much.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56- Thank you.- OK. - Thank you very much, sir. - Thank you very much.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02Now Les and Rachel need to make a decision, as well.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07Vesta boxes were exactly that, little holders for matches.
0:17:07 > 0:17:13Now, this is a really nice one, cos you can see that the hinged lid is really neatly done.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- What do you think, Les? - I really like the card case.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19We'll probably make more money on auction than with this one.
0:17:19 > 0:17:24- Well, we've got about eight minutes actually, so we can't hang about. - No, especially not if it's gone.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27OK, guys. Better hurry up, hey?
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- Was it up here?- Yeah, it was by the doors, wasn't it?
0:17:35 > 0:17:39- Can we look at the card case again? - Of course.- Please. Thank you.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43- Oh, yeah. - And what was your best price?
0:17:43 > 0:17:47- It needs to be 140. I can take 25 off.- 140.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51- Do you still like it?- Yes. - I think we'll have it, then, yeah?
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- Definitely.- You agree? - We're out of time, so I think...
0:17:54 > 0:17:58- Yeah. Definitely. Thank you. - OK. You're very welcome. Thank you.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07Has there been anything that you like that you...
0:18:07 > 0:18:11Well, other than I liked the silver vesta things, and stuff like that.
0:18:11 > 0:18:16Do you wanna do that? If nothing's catching your eye, you're never gonna find it in five minutes.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19- That's the only thing I've seen. - How much time have we got left now?
0:18:19 > 0:18:23- To run all the way up there?- Eight minutes. We've gotta walk back.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27- Yes. Go on. Go on.- This is like The Benny Hill Show, you know.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- Jump on the back of a van. - I'm late for a very important date.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- Keep looking as you go. - I'm late for an important date.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37That case was right across the fairground, girls.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39- Come along. - I'm with you.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43What? In mind, body and spirit, Jasmine?
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Steady on, old girl.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- (SHE LAUGHS) You all right? - (SHE PANTS)
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- MAN: 80's the best I'll do. - It's monogrammed.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- Is that good or bad?- Let's have a quick look at it for you.
0:18:54 > 0:18:59Well, I'll have a quick look at this. Where's the full marks?
0:18:59 > 0:19:03- Or I could buy one of the cheap ones.- 'Deakin & Francis' is on there.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06- You know...- Hey? What are you saying? No good?
0:19:06 > 0:19:12I'm not saying that. What I'm saying is it's very straightforward and I would be inclined to go for novelty.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15- He's not too impressed, old Jonathan.- It's dented, as well.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- Well, you know...- It IS dented. It's dented.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21I'm not gonna influence you too much. You like it you buy it.
0:19:21 > 0:19:22Is it a bit battered, but?
0:19:22 > 0:19:26You know, I don't think it's going to win you a great deal of money.
0:19:26 > 0:19:31- MAN: One minute to go.- But with 60 seconds to go...- Come on.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- Perhaps that, then.- Don't look at me when you say it. Decide.
0:19:34 > 0:19:39- Well, we can't go with nothing. - Yeah.- OK, is that the case you want?
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- Deal done?- Yes. - OK, deal done.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Right, everyone, shopping's done.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49Time for our teams to hand over any leftover lolly to their experts,
0:19:49 > 0:19:52who've been sharpening an eye for what to buy.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55First, let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Jasmine bought these three watches, without telling Pat, for £60.
0:20:04 > 0:20:09They ran the length of the fair for this paper rack at 38,
0:20:09 > 0:20:12then they ran it again to get the sovereign case for 80.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22- Did you have a good time, Pat? - Fantastic.- What about you, Jasmine? - Thoroughly enjoyed it.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24- But we had to run for the last few minutes.- I know.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28It's something to warm up anyway. How much did you spend all round?
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- £178.- £178. That's rather good, isn't it?
0:20:31 > 0:20:36- What's your favourite piece, Jas? - Those were the pieces that I bought. Three watches for £60.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39- I gather you're the leader of the pack round here.- Definitely.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43Is that the truth? Did you get a look-in sideways, Jonathan?
0:20:43 > 0:20:45- No, no, I wasn't... - Part of the shopping.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49- ..part of the shopping. - Just there as an observer.- Yes.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53- Now, what exactly are you fondling? - I've got a silver guinea holder here.- Yes.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57But I do believe it was owned by a northern industrialist,
0:20:57 > 0:21:00and he's saying his brass bought more than brass.
0:21:00 > 0:21:05- Oh, lordy.- That's what I'm getting. - And would you see a lot of profit in a thing like that?
0:21:05 > 0:21:10- Well, we would hope to make a little profit on it.- Would you? How much profit is the vibration telling you?
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- I like detail here.- Not enough.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15- And what did you pay for it? - We paid £80 for it.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17- How much?- £80.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21And you're getting a vibration of profit coming out of that? Yes?
0:21:21 > 0:21:28- I live in hope.- Yes, absolutely. Now, I would like £122 of leftover lolly, if that's all right.
0:21:28 > 0:21:33- There you are, Tim. There you are. And there's your £2.- Look, that's a decent amount, isn't it?
0:21:33 > 0:21:35It's nice to have some decent cash for once.
0:21:35 > 0:21:40You'll be able to find something splendid to thrill us with later with your bonus buy.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43- I will try.- We'll rely on you. Thank you very much, Jonathan.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Meanwhile, let's check out how the Blues are getting on.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51Les and Rachel agreed on this tantalus at £110...
0:21:53 > 0:21:57..then disagreed on Les's choice of the toby jug for 35.
0:21:58 > 0:22:03Finally, they staked 140 on this little silver card case.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09- So, are you happy? What do you think? - You're all looking rather serious.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12So, Rachel, why are you such a toby jug hater, though?
0:22:12 > 0:22:18Oh, it's just random. It's not even anybody in particular. It's just random.
0:22:18 > 0:22:23It's a nice character. It's a great toby jug. It's gonna make some money, Tim, I guarantee it.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26And they're supposed to be welded together and happy, these two.
0:22:26 > 0:22:31Well, we have differences of opinion when he's wrong and I'm right.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33I can hear that. OK, very good.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- So, how much did you spend, Leslie? - £285.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40£285. That's £15 left over for Bliss. That's lovely.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44And which is your favourite piece apart from the toby jug?
0:22:44 > 0:22:48- Oh, it's gotta be the card case, then.- OK. Do you agree with that?
0:22:48 > 0:22:53- I do, yeah.- Oh, at last we've got some family agreement here.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- £15, then, Kate.- Thank you. - A little challenge for you.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- It's quite an expensive fair, this, isn't it?- I'm gonna be hard-pushed.
0:22:59 > 0:23:04Hard-pushed, but you always rise to the challenge. And good luck with that, Kate.
0:23:04 > 0:23:09For the rest of us, though, we're going to tool off to the north-west of Britain
0:23:09 > 0:23:14and we're going to go to the Lady Lever Art Gallery, which is gonna be a rare old treat, I fancy.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27I'm going to play a little game with you today.
0:23:27 > 0:23:35Let's pretend that I'm allowed to take two pieces from this gallery that I really fancy
0:23:35 > 0:23:37and stick them in the back of the Volvo.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39What am I gonna choose?
0:23:39 > 0:23:41(HE LAUGHS) What fun!
0:23:54 > 0:23:58Hmm. Not my type, I'm afraid.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Of course, it's an impossible task.
0:24:07 > 0:24:12Having to pick two items out of this multitude of treasures?
0:24:12 > 0:24:14So I think I'll just go for one.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16What do you think about this cabinet?
0:24:16 > 0:24:21From where you're standing it looks like a Georgian two-door cabinet, doesn't it?
0:24:21 > 0:24:24With perhaps some oval decorated panels on it?
0:24:24 > 0:24:26After Gainsborough at the front
0:24:26 > 0:24:29and Angelica Kauffmann on the sides.
0:24:29 > 0:24:36They're actually prints which have been hand-watercoloured and then glazed over with varnish
0:24:36 > 0:24:39to make them look like real pictures.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43But it's the technique that's been used to decorate every other surface
0:24:43 > 0:24:44which is so fascinating.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48And you have to come in here to see that properly.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Take a look at this blue area, for example.
0:24:50 > 0:24:56That blue area is made up, literally, of hundreds of tiny scrolls of paper
0:24:56 > 0:25:01which have been tightly rolled up one against the other
0:25:01 > 0:25:04and then inserted against the flat surface.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Extraordinary, isn't it?
0:25:06 > 0:25:09And that's just this blue patterned bit.
0:25:09 > 0:25:15Multiply that by the number of patterned areas over, for example,
0:25:15 > 0:25:17just this front door,
0:25:17 > 0:25:19and it's extraordinary.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22This process was called, in the 18th century, quilling,
0:25:22 > 0:25:25and smart ladies did it.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29They did it in their drawing rooms instead of doing needlework
0:25:29 > 0:25:31or decorating china.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34And the interesting highlighted area on the door
0:25:34 > 0:25:38is made up of this string of real freshwater pearls,
0:25:38 > 0:25:42which are used to make up this ribbon-tied swag
0:25:42 > 0:25:45as a pendant to the oval below.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49But it isn't until when I open it up
0:25:49 > 0:25:55that you can appreciate quite the sublime beauty of this thing
0:25:55 > 0:25:58when it was first made about 230 years ago.
0:25:58 > 0:26:05The inside surfaces of these drawers haven't been discoloured by the light or pollution.
0:26:05 > 0:26:10You get a semblance of how bright and breezy the outside would have looked.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Just look at these delicious turquoises,
0:26:13 > 0:26:15the greens, the yellows,
0:26:15 > 0:26:19and the intricate patterns and designs throughout.
0:26:19 > 0:26:26How long would it have taken a smart gentlewoman to have decorated the entire surface?
0:26:26 > 0:26:28I would guess some years.
0:26:28 > 0:26:35The central door, here, has little beads of bright cut steel inserted.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39And 230 years ago, these would have been glittering
0:26:39 > 0:26:42and utterly entertaining for the eye.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44The big question today is, of course,
0:26:44 > 0:26:48are our teams going to be bright and glittering
0:26:48 > 0:26:51and thoroughly entertaining over at the auction?
0:26:55 > 0:26:58And today's auction is just across the border in Shrewsbury
0:26:58 > 0:27:02with auctioneer Jeremy Lamond.
0:27:02 > 0:27:07- Good morning, Jeremy.- Welcome. - Thank you very much for having us. Lovely to be here.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11Now, Jasmine and Pat, their first item is
0:27:11 > 0:27:16this trio of key-wound Swiss cylinder ladies' fob watches.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20Less common than a Singer sewing machine, but not rare objects.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23So, not gonna light the cockles of you auctioneers' hearts?
0:27:23 > 0:27:28Not really. A mass-produced movement is something that doesn't warm our cockles.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32No. Having said that, they are in reasonable condition.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36- What do you they might bring, Jeremy?- I think £60 to £80 would about do it, really.
0:27:36 > 0:27:41Really? Well, that's great. £60 was paid. Jasmine was very, very hot for them.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44So she's probably done the right thing.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48Talking about hot, we've got the pokerworked paper rack.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51- It's useful, isn't it? - It's a tour de force of pokerwork.
0:27:51 > 0:27:56- And it's English rather than 'papier'.- Yes.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00And it's quite nice to look at and it's useful.
0:28:00 > 0:28:01So I think it will be a seller.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05I mean, all you need is a pipe and a pair of slippers to go with this
0:28:05 > 0:28:07and it's every bloke's set-up, isn't it?
0:28:07 > 0:28:10- And a newspaper.- And a newspaper to go in there. Absolutely.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14- How much?- 30 to 50. - Great. £38 was paid.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17- Not bad.- They didn't pay a big price for it.
0:28:17 > 0:28:18Anyway, that's that for that.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22- Lastly, this lovely little object, the double sovereign case.- Yes.
0:28:22 > 0:28:27- In silver.- 1931, so just when we were coming off the gold standard.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31- So quite a late production for a sovereign case.- Yes, absolutely.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35And what it holds now, sovereigns, are very collectable at the moment,
0:28:35 > 0:28:38so a good collectable silver object still.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Really nice. And how much, then, for that?
0:28:40 > 0:28:44- I think we have said £30 to £50. - Have you?- Yeah.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47They paid 80. I mean, I don't know.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49- It's a desirable thing. - Mmm, could be.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53- You might just be slightly on the lean side, there.- We might be. - But bit of a tempter.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55- Yeah. - Good.
0:28:55 > 0:29:00There we go. They've done pretty well, I reckon. All depending on how the sovereign case does pan out.
0:29:00 > 0:29:04They may or may not need the bonus buy, but let's go and have a look at it.
0:29:05 > 0:29:11OK, Jasmine, Pat, you gave Jonathan £122 of leftover lolly, which is absolutely dazzling.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15- What did you do with it? - Look at that.- Oh, wow. That, I like.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17Immediately as I saw it I loved the style.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21It's this contrast of blue and white and the sunflowers that sort of drew me to it.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24When picking it up, I saw it's Doulton Lambeth.
0:29:24 > 0:29:28Good late 19th-century studio potters producing a lot of commercial wares,
0:29:28 > 0:29:30but there's different influences in this.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33Absolutely love the colour. That's gorgeous.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36You couldn't use it as a vase. Why the cutaway here?
0:29:36 > 0:29:39I understand that it's probably the base for an oil lamp.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43You'd have something on the top. It would be difficult to picture.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46But it maybe would have had, like, a convex domed sort of shade.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50It was about style. I was looking at something which would be good for interiors.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53Limited in use, but you could put dried flowers in there
0:29:53 > 0:29:55and keep it as an ornament.
0:29:55 > 0:30:00Or have it as a lamp. If you put a wooden plug in there or an electric light bulb in it, what a great lamp.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03An up light, and then a bit out the side. Quite sweet.
0:30:03 > 0:30:07- I paid...- How much? - (THEY LAUGH)
0:30:07 > 0:30:09- I paid £100 for it.- OK. - And will it make a profit?
0:30:09 > 0:30:13- I really like to think so. - What do you think, Patricia? - It's really nice.
0:30:13 > 0:30:18You give us a prediction from your cosmic-influenced feeling, handling, spiritual sense,
0:30:18 > 0:30:21what is this gonna bring in the way of a profit?
0:30:21 > 0:30:25- A prediction, please, Patricia. - It's gonna make £20. - Profit?- Yes.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29- Oh, that's a relief.- That's absolutely what I thought as well.
0:30:29 > 0:30:30- You're agreeing with that? - Yes.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34There we go. We've got the cosmic prophetesses. If you go with it.
0:30:34 > 0:30:39But, for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Jonathan's cosmic vase.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43- OK, J, here's a chunk for you. - OK.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Well, this is very bright and breezy, isn't it?
0:30:46 > 0:30:50The big thing is don't try and fill it up with water. It won't be used as a flower vase.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53I think you'd be caught out. We've called it a lamp base.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57There is a hole in the bottom for a cord,
0:30:57 > 0:31:01and, as you rightly say, if you put flowers in it and water later on
0:31:01 > 0:31:04then you'll have a very wet bottom.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08- A very nasty accident.- But it's a pretty thing, in good condition.
0:31:08 > 0:31:13- I think £60 to £80, it should make. - Brilliant. £100 was paid. It's supposed to be a bonus buy.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16May not be that profitable, if the teams decide to go with it.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues, Rachel and Les.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22And they kick off with the tantalus.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25Very handy object in late 19th-century Britain
0:31:25 > 0:31:30either to stop you drinking or to stop the servants drinking what you are about to drink.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33Not an uncommon object, especially in oak with brass fittings.
0:31:33 > 0:31:39Hobnail cut glass decanters but also chipped hobnail cut glass decanters.
0:31:39 > 0:31:43Doesn't help, although I suppose you can replace them.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45And it may be that these have been replaced anyway.
0:31:45 > 0:31:50- So, what's your estimate, Jeremy? - 60 to 80.- OK, brilliant. £110, they paid.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54It's interesting with these things, because tantaluses are up and down.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57They vary in quality. Difficult to know how it's going to finish.
0:31:57 > 0:32:02- But I bet you they won't be too far off.- On a good day they can make a couple of hundred pounds, a good one.
0:32:02 > 0:32:08- But these are chipped, so we've been a bit cautious.- And I don't blame you, quite frankly, old fruit.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10Next, the Doulton character jug.
0:32:10 > 0:32:16I think one of the gloomiest-looking people, I have to say. He's not florid, he looks rather sad.
0:32:16 > 0:32:21Trouble is, these large Doulton character jugs at the moment are not performing too well in the market
0:32:21 > 0:32:25unless it's a rare or a pilot figure, and he certainly isn't one.
0:32:25 > 0:32:31Even though they're not being produced any more. So we put a lowly £20 to £30 on him.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35Just to encourage the others. £35, they paid.
0:32:35 > 0:32:39I mean, you've got quite a lot of 20th-century ceramics in the sale, haven't you?
0:32:39 > 0:32:42So you should have a good crowd to go for a bit of Doulton.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46Now, lastly, where they put their money most definitely where their mouths are
0:32:46 > 0:32:50is this silver Edwardian calling card case.
0:32:50 > 0:32:56Well, it's a pretty object, in good condition. Floral leaf, flat, chaste, 1907, so a good Edwardian object.
0:32:56 > 0:33:01But really, again, not a rare object, so 40 to 60, I would say, at auction.
0:33:01 > 0:33:07£140, they paid. Now, £140 is getting towards something that you'd have a bit of casting in it.
0:33:07 > 0:33:11One of those rather more decorated card cases that can make some money.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14- This is not one of them. - And this isn't one of them.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18I would think a difficult thing to sell, and I'm with you, £40 to £60, something like that.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22They're almost certainly gonna need their bonus buy. Let's look at it.
0:33:24 > 0:33:28Now, Raquel and Leslie, you spent £285,
0:33:28 > 0:33:32you gave Kate Bliss 15 smackers only to find your bonus buy.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35Kate, you poor thing, what did you do?
0:33:35 > 0:33:40Panicked. And then I found something which I'm not sure is your cup of tea.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44But it was £15, let's just get that bit out of the way first, tell you the money bit.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48It's late 19th-century, so it's got a bit of age to it,
0:33:48 > 0:33:49and it is a bottle coaster.
0:33:49 > 0:33:54It's turned mahogany and big enough, I think, to take a magnum
0:33:54 > 0:33:56rather than your average bottle of claret.
0:33:56 > 0:34:00- Does it grab you, darling?- No.- What I was thinking was profit, Rachel.
0:34:00 > 0:34:05I mean, I know it's not your sort of thing, having got to know you, but I was thinking of profit.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09And I would hope, on a good day, it would make a few pounds' profit.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12- Was it £15, was it? - It was £15.
0:34:12 > 0:34:16And the thing is it could just be a tad earlier than late 19th century.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20- Georgian. It could be Georgian, couldn't it?- It's got the feel.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23And it would have had its little baize pad on the bottom.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27- It's a nice thing.- Sometimes when it looks ugly it might make more money.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29Ooh, I love you, Leslie.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33- (HE LAUGHS)- Anyway, there we go. We hope it's going to make a few bob for you.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37But let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Kate's coaster.
0:34:38 > 0:34:43There you go, Jeremy. You've got £15 left, you're an expert, you have to find the bonus buy.
0:34:43 > 0:34:47- That's what Kate has served us up. - Well, yeah, 19th century.
0:34:47 > 0:34:51It's turned, there's not a great deal wrong with it, so she'll get her money back, I would think.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53£10 or £20, it could make.
0:34:53 > 0:34:59Well, 15, as I say, was paid. I mean, I quite like these late Georgian little bits.
0:34:59 > 0:35:03That would have had, I think, a pad of baize on it, wouldn't it?
0:35:03 > 0:35:07So that when it coasted over your Georgian dining table you don't get any scratching.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10But the problem for me is that that lump there,
0:35:10 > 0:35:14which is where the discoloured piece of timber is, is replaced.
0:35:14 > 0:35:15Character, though.
0:35:15 > 0:35:20Character, but some joker's got hold of that with his thumb and pulled off that original gallery.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22But at least they didn't throw it away.
0:35:22 > 0:35:26No. Maybe it was just a riot of a party, and that's part of its charm.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29- Like at your place. - Absolutely.
0:35:29 > 0:35:33- We'll look forward to a riot of an auction in just a moment, Jeremy. Thank you.- Thank you.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39200 bid. 220.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41- OK, team, happy?- WOMEN: Yes.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45Patricia, you're looking particularly perky here.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47- Of course. Bargain Hunt. - Bargain Hunt.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Yes, that's what we like!
0:35:49 > 0:35:52- What about you, Jasmine? - Fairly confident.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55- Fairly confident. - That's what I like to hear.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58It's teamwork, isn't it? The whole thing is a team effort.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01So, what piece do you think is going to do particularly well?
0:36:01 > 0:36:03I would hope it's going to be the watches.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07- I only wish I could buy those watches myself. - Sadly, you can't do that.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10Let's hope there's people who want to have a go, cos you paid £60.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13JEREMY: Three silver-cased ladies' fob watches.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16White enamel dials and Roman numerals, showing there.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19Who'll start me? £40. The three at 40. At £40.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21- Where's 40? Bid me £40. - Oh, gosh.
0:36:21 > 0:36:2440? 30 to go, then. £30.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27Start me £30, £10 each. 30's bid. At 30.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30At 30. 5 if you like. At £30 now.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32- At £30 I'll sell them. - Oh, come on.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35- It's your bid at 30. (HE BANGS GAVEL) - £10 each, then. £30.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Well, I'm afraid it didn't make its estimate.
0:36:38 > 0:36:43Late 19th-century carved paper rack, inscribed M. Cook. £20 to start me.
0:36:43 > 0:36:4420 for the paper rack.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48- Useful object at £20. - Good for the kitchen.- £20. 20.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51Bid me £20 for it. Anybody have 20?
0:36:51 > 0:36:5420 is bid at the back of the room. At £20, I'm bid.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57Are you sure? Maiden bid, then. £20. All done?
0:36:57 > 0:36:59- (HE BANGS GAVEL) - Maiden and divorced.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03- £20. It's -£18. - Internet makes all the difference.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07Birmingham 1931, at £25. At 25.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09- Oh, £25?! - £25. 25.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13At 28. At £28, it is. At £28.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15- Got it. - Your bid. 30 in the doorway.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18At £30. 32, against you. 35. 38.
0:37:18 > 0:37:2240. No? 40 in the door, then.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25At £40, the bid. At 40. All done at 40.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28- Isn't that disappointing? - They all want something for nothing.
0:37:28 > 0:37:32(MIMICS PAT) Well, 'tis a bootiful little thing.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34Bootiful, it was.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38- I'm ever so disappointed. - That doesn't sound right.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41- You do it better than I do. - We've gotta pick ourselves up now.
0:37:41 > 0:37:48We've been dressed down, here. You're -88, yeah? What are we gonna do about this lamp base?
0:37:48 > 0:37:52£100 is what was paid on that, but it's just a question of teamwork.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55What do you wanna do? Do you wanna twist or stick?
0:37:55 > 0:37:59- I wanna go with it.- Yes. - Yeah, we'll go with it. - Let's go for it.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03- Yes, it's a good show. - It's a good show.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06Yeah, but...seriously, then?
0:38:06 > 0:38:09- Yes!- Yes, go on. In for a penny, in for a pound.
0:38:09 > 0:38:14JEREMY: The Doulton Lambeth pottery lamp base, or vase. £50 for it. 50.
0:38:14 > 0:38:1850 I'll take. At £50, any bid? At £50. Lot 188.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20- At £50. 40, then. - Oh, come on.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22£40. 40. Start me. 40.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25Surely, £40 for it. 30, then.
0:38:25 > 0:38:30- £30. 30's bid, front row. - Thank you.- Lady in the front row.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33You're out now, internet is in. 45. With you at 45. Internet is out.
0:38:33 > 0:38:37- At £45. - Here we go. 45. Come on.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39Keep going, keep going, keep going.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41And I'm selling at 45. Are you sure at £45?
0:38:41 > 0:38:46-55. 5 and 8 is 13.
0:38:46 > 0:38:51- 9, 14, 143. -143. - They got a bargain there.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54They did get a bargain there, you're absolutely right.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58The thing is, girls, go out there looking very happy and don't say a word to the Blues.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00- Of course not. - Thank you very much.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12Right, then, petal, do you know how the Reds got on?
0:39:12 > 0:39:14- No.- No. - Great.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16How do you think they got on?
0:39:16 > 0:39:19- They looked pleased with themselves. - Did they look a bit cocky?
0:39:19 > 0:39:22- Yeah.- Yeah. Could be a double ploy, that.
0:39:22 > 0:39:26Now, your tantalus, right, you both loved that. £110, you paid.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29He's estimated £60 to £80, cos there's a bit of chipping, right?
0:39:29 > 0:39:33The early 20th-century oak and brass mounted tantalus.
0:39:33 > 0:39:38Three mallet-shaped decanters. At £40. Start me at 40. At 40.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40- At £40. At 40? - Oh, come on.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42£40 for it. At the very back of the room, 40 I've got.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46At £40. I'll take 5. At £40 for it, the tantalus.
0:39:46 > 0:39:475 now.
0:39:47 > 0:39:5245. 50. £50 at the very back. At £50. One more?
0:39:52 > 0:39:54At £50. The bid is at the back.
0:39:54 > 0:39:58At £50. I'm selling at 50. (HE BANGS GAVEL)
0:39:58 > 0:39:59- £50. Oh, dear. - That's crazy.
0:39:59 > 0:40:03- It did not tantalise. That's -60. - Sorry, chaps.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05RACHEL: Oh, here we go.
0:40:05 > 0:40:09From Williamsburg, 'Guardsman'. Already I'm bid £20.
0:40:09 > 0:40:1320 is bid. At £20, it's a commission bid. At £20 now.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15At 20. 22. 25.
0:40:15 > 0:40:1928. 30. 30, still here. Commission bid.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21At £30 for 'The Guardsman'. Selling at 30.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23(HE BANGS GAVEL)
0:40:23 > 0:40:25- Oh, it's £30. - Oh, so close.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28That's -£5. Bad luck, Les.
0:40:28 > 0:40:29Now, the card case.
0:40:29 > 0:40:33Calling card case. Birmingham 1907. Again, interest here.
0:40:33 > 0:40:3535. 40. 45.
0:40:35 > 0:40:40At £45. I've got 55. 65. Still on commission, at £65.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43- For the calling card case, at 65. - Come on.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45- (HE BANGS GAVEL) - Oh, dear, baby.
0:40:45 > 0:40:51- 65 is -75. - It's a bit of a kick in the teeth.
0:40:51 > 0:40:55-140. -140 doesn't sound too bad if you say it quickly.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58- What about this coaster? - We're gonna have to go for it.
0:40:58 > 0:41:03- We might as well.- I mean, it's £15, right? I mean, 140 could be a winning score.
0:41:03 > 0:41:08- Are you gonna have a little tickle at the coaster?- Yeah, we might as well now.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11- Kate's confident, aren't you, Kate? - I don't know, with this market.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14I don't think I'm confident about anything.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16It's not all about the winning, is it?
0:41:16 > 0:41:19- It's all about the losing. - Isn't it?
0:41:19 > 0:41:23Isn't it all about the winning? That's why I'm here.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26What are you gonna do? Gonna have a little tickle?
0:41:26 > 0:41:28- We'll go for it. - You're gonna go with it.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31We're going with the coaster, and here it comes.
0:41:31 > 0:41:3419th-century turned mahogany bottle coaster, there.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37Bid me £10 for it. 10! A tenner. Nice useful object.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40£10 he's bid already. At £10, I've got. 10?
0:41:40 > 0:41:42One and only, then. 10.
0:41:42 > 0:41:4412 at the back. 15.
0:41:44 > 0:41:4615 here, then. At 15. 18 behind you.
0:41:46 > 0:41:4820. At 20 here, then. At £20.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51- Well done, Kate. - Small mercies.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54- (HE BANGS GAVEL) - £20. Well done, Kate. That's +£5.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58Overall, then, you're -135. That could be a winning score.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00Don't mention a word to the Reds. Thank you.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Well, what an exciting show we've had today.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14I mean, appalling losses all round,
0:42:14 > 0:42:19but there is actually only £8 between the victors and the runners-up today.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22So, have you chaps been chatting at all?
0:42:22 > 0:42:27- ALL: No.- No. So you have no idea who's ahead and who's behind. - No.
0:42:27 > 0:42:31Well, the team that's behind are the Reds.
0:42:31 > 0:42:35You managed to lose £143, all right?
0:42:35 > 0:42:37I'm not going into a lot of detail,
0:42:37 > 0:42:42just suffice to say that every single mortal thing that you touched did not make a profit.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45- But have you had a nice time? - Absolutely fantastic.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47We've loved having you on the show.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49Bad luck, team. You were so close.
0:42:49 > 0:42:55But £135 minus is the winning score today from Rachel and Leslie. Well done.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58- BOTH: Thank you. - Have you had a nice time? - Lovely. Great time.
0:42:58 > 0:43:02It was lovely, the fiver profit on the bottle coaster from Kate.
0:43:02 > 0:43:07- Exactly.- That was a stellar moment. - Makes up for everything else.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09We've loved having you on the programme.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12In fact, join us soon for some more Bargain Hunting, yes?!
0:43:12 > 0:43:13ALL: Yes!
