0:00:06 > 0:00:08Croeso y Cymru!

0:00:08 > 0:00:09Welcome to Wales.

0:00:09 > 0:00:12And more particularly, let's go Bargain Hunting!

0:00:37 > 0:00:41We're in the Mona Show Ground in Anglesey, North Wales.

0:00:41 > 0:00:46Today we've got two married couples taking part in the programme.

0:00:46 > 0:00:49But will it simply finish up as happy families,

0:00:49 > 0:00:52or will things get a little bit sticky?

0:00:52 > 0:00:54Let's take a quick peek.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58Red team Myra and David have expensive tastes.

0:00:58 > 0:01:01It's £385!

0:01:01 > 0:01:02Come on!

0:01:02 > 0:01:05Blue team, Jodie and Chris, have no taste!

0:01:05 > 0:01:07What about something like this?

0:01:07 > 0:01:10- No?- No, I don't think so. Put it back.- Sorry.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13David, do you like this?

0:01:13 > 0:01:15- Hmm...- No?

0:01:16 > 0:01:19- You'd buy it yourself, wouldn't you? - No.

0:01:19 > 0:01:23As always, there are the ups and downs at the auction.

0:01:23 > 0:01:25Oh, no!

0:01:27 > 0:01:29£42 is still a profit.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33So, if that combo has you hooked, let's meet the couples.

0:01:36 > 0:01:37Will you make a good team, you two?

0:01:37 > 0:01:39- Definitely.- Why's that?

0:01:39 > 0:01:42We've been at it long enough, haven't we?

0:01:42 > 0:01:43- Yes.- How many years?- 47.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46- That's a good innings! - I still don't know him very well!

0:01:46 > 0:01:49- No?- No!- What have you been doing, then?

0:01:49 > 0:01:51- We have little secrets.- Do you?

0:01:51 > 0:01:55Ooh! Well, don't give any away, David.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58It says here you've been doing a lot together since you retired.

0:01:58 > 0:02:02- What were you doing before you retired?- Working.- Were you?

0:02:02 > 0:02:05- Too busy to do anything else. - Too busy, yes.- Yes.

0:02:05 > 0:02:10- What do you get up to now you're retired?- We do a lot with the U3A.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13- Who?- The U3A.

0:02:13 > 0:02:14Is that some sort of UFO?

0:02:14 > 0:02:18- No, it's the University of the Third Age.- Is it?- Yes.

0:02:18 > 0:02:19What's all that about?

0:02:19 > 0:02:23Your first age is when you're at school and you're learning.

0:02:23 > 0:02:27- Dribbling.- The second age is when you're at work, learning.

0:02:27 > 0:02:33- And the third age is when you're retired, and you learn a lot more. - Do you?- Yes.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35Before you start dribbling at the end!

0:02:35 > 0:02:40That's all we've got to look forward to. You start dribbling and you finish up dribbling.

0:02:40 > 0:02:45- The University of the Third Age, you're embroidering your mind? - Definitely.

0:02:45 > 0:02:52- What do you know about antiques? - Not a lot. I'll put my trust in Myra and our expert.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54Quite right, too. Yes. You'll meet him in a minute.

0:02:54 > 0:02:58Well, very good luck. I think you'll make a great team.

0:02:58 > 0:03:02Now, the blues. Jodie, you first met Chris when he put his foot in it?

0:03:02 > 0:03:07He did. He came as a labourer to my mum and dad's loft conversion.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09They were having a bedroom built.

0:03:09 > 0:03:13I didn't see him for weeks, then his foot went through the ceiling!

0:03:13 > 0:03:17- Into your bedroom?- It was the living room.- Lovely.

0:03:17 > 0:03:21- No, it was the plumber that put it into my bedroom!- Oh, the plumber did that?

0:03:21 > 0:03:25- They wanted a hole in each ceiling! - Cos they wanted to spy through!

0:03:25 > 0:03:28- They're not stupid, these builders! - They're not!

0:03:28 > 0:03:33- Well, it worked.- Quite.- Because... - So you got down to chatting.- Yes.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36I really liked him. I found out later he really liked me.

0:03:36 > 0:03:40- We've been married nearly eight years. Not quite as long as the other couple!- No.

0:03:40 > 0:03:45- They're inspirational, they are! - But we'll get there!- Brilliant.

0:03:45 > 0:03:51- Are you happy with your team colour? - You are!- I'm a big Manchester City supporter.

0:03:51 > 0:03:56So I needed to wear blue. Plus my father would disown me if I wore red.

0:03:56 > 0:03:59- So we're in the right colours. - We're not. Sorry.

0:03:59 > 0:04:02- Sorry?- I don't agree. I'm a Manchester United supporter!

0:04:02 > 0:04:05- Oh, dear!- I was really upset to find out I was wearing blue!

0:04:05 > 0:04:08Will you lash these reds, beat them today?

0:04:08 > 0:04:12- Yeah.- Yeah, I think so. Come on! - Come on!

0:04:13 > 0:04:17Typical Man U supporter - very competitive!

0:04:17 > 0:04:21OK. Now, the money moment. £300 apiece. Here you go. £300.

0:04:21 > 0:04:25You know the rules. Your experts await. Off you go!

0:04:25 > 0:04:27And very, very good luck.

0:04:29 > 0:04:31Yes.

0:04:31 > 0:04:32I thought I'd got rid of that tic!

0:04:32 > 0:04:36Anyway, leaving no stone unturned are our experts.

0:04:36 > 0:04:39For the reds it's James Lewis.

0:04:39 > 0:04:43And for the blues, it's David Barby.

0:04:46 > 0:04:48Shall we head right down to the bottom?

0:04:48 > 0:04:51- Start at the end of the fair and work our way back.- Yes.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53- I hope not many people are there yet.- Yes.

0:04:53 > 0:04:58OK. Right. Do you want to go along here?

0:04:58 > 0:04:59So, they're off.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01- No excuse not to find something. - What's this?

0:05:01 > 0:05:04- Something to catch your eye.- Yes.

0:05:12 > 0:05:14Ah, hello!

0:05:14 > 0:05:18- What are you up to?- Caught Tim combing his hair!

0:05:18 > 0:05:23We've just come in from outside and it's blowing a gale and peeing down.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25I'm just readjusting my toupee.

0:05:25 > 0:05:27See? It is real!

0:05:27 > 0:05:29What are you guys up to?

0:05:29 > 0:05:31- We've just started.- Just started.

0:05:31 > 0:05:36- There we have a rather...- Hold on a minute! What's all this?

0:05:36 > 0:05:41- That be a crack, that be. - And a hole.- And he's lost a hand.

0:05:41 > 0:05:45- Oh, look...- Oh, sorry! - OK, you don't like him, do you?

0:05:45 > 0:05:47- Yes, I do.- He's Shakespeare, isn't he?

0:05:47 > 0:05:50- Shakespeare. - A one-handed Shakespeare.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53It could be Captain Hook.

0:05:53 > 0:05:58I'm not sure that Shakespeare wrote Pirates of the Caribbean, did he?

0:05:58 > 0:06:01- Was it Johnny Depp?- Yes, something to do with Johnny Depp.

0:06:01 > 0:06:03I think he wrote that one.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06This literary stuff is all a bit heavy.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09- Johnny Depp, Shakespeare... - What's special about that?

0:06:09 > 0:06:11- Well...- I mean, why...

0:06:11 > 0:06:14Well, I just thought - where are you guys from?

0:06:14 > 0:06:18- Originally, Derbyshire.- I knew that.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20- Where's this from?- Derbyshire?

0:06:20 > 0:06:22- Where am I from?- Derbyshire!

0:06:22 > 0:06:25Wa-hey! A hat-trick of Derbyshire here.

0:06:25 > 0:06:28- Right.- This is a Derby patch mark figure.

0:06:28 > 0:06:34These blobs here. Pads of clay were stuck to the base of the figure

0:06:34 > 0:06:36to stop the glaze sticking to the kiln.

0:06:36 > 0:06:40That is as good as it saying, "I was made in Derby."

0:06:40 > 0:06:45- This is 1775. Patch mark. Would have been a pair.- 1775?!

0:06:45 > 0:06:49Yes, it's damaged, but let's see how much it is.

0:06:49 > 0:06:52Excuse me. How much is the figure, please?

0:06:52 > 0:06:53£30.

0:06:53 > 0:06:54£30.

0:06:54 > 0:06:57- I think that's worth 60 to £80. - Right.- So...

0:06:57 > 0:06:59For to die...

0:06:59 > 0:07:01and go we know not where!

0:07:01 > 0:07:04To lie in cold obstruction and to rot.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06This is too terrible.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08To be or not to be?

0:07:08 > 0:07:11See, she's getting in the mood!

0:07:11 > 0:07:12I'm off now, anyway.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14Bye-bye!

0:07:14 > 0:07:15Literary scholars, you.

0:07:15 > 0:07:19- What do you think?- I think we go for it.- Take 28 quid for it?

0:07:19 > 0:07:21- OK.- 28. Brilliant.

0:07:21 > 0:07:22Deal.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25- That was a good off.- Yeah.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27Not a "bard" price!

0:07:27 > 0:07:31- Where did you get him?- Dare I tell you?- Go on.- A boot fair.- No!

0:07:31 > 0:07:34- When?- This morning!- Oh, no!

0:07:34 > 0:07:36- I told you he went out. - What did you pay for him?

0:07:36 > 0:07:38Four pounds.

0:07:38 > 0:07:45- Oh, no!- If we can... He's made five times his money. If we can do the same, we're laughing. Well done.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47Wishful thinking, methinks!

0:07:50 > 0:07:52- What about something like this? - Oh, that's...

0:07:53 > 0:07:56- What is it?- It's a bit vin ordinaire. I think it's a watch!

0:07:56 > 0:07:58- Yeah, no I don't... Put it back. - Sorry.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04What are they?

0:08:04 > 0:08:06They are agricultural tools.

0:08:10 > 0:08:14You'd wear it on one hand, gather in the corn like this,

0:08:14 > 0:08:15in the other hand a sickle.

0:08:15 > 0:08:19Chop it off. That's to stop you chopping your fingers off!

0:08:19 > 0:08:21I like those.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23They're not worth anything, though.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26- Quirky.- A bit of fun. - I used to have a farm museum,

0:08:26 > 0:08:30- so things like that... - How much are they?

0:08:30 > 0:08:34- I've got 30 each on them. - Ooh! What's that worth to you?

0:08:34 > 0:08:36- Not that much.- What is it worth to you?

0:08:36 > 0:08:39- A tenner.- 30 quid the three?

0:08:39 > 0:08:41- That's a no.- No.

0:08:41 > 0:08:45- But they're certainly interesting. Thank you.- Thank you, James.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47Funny looking things, eh?

0:08:52 > 0:08:53Chris, do you... Chris!

0:08:53 > 0:08:58- Sorry. Miles away. - Do you usually escape when your wife's going to buy something?

0:08:58 > 0:09:00- I'm terrified, usually. - How much is that?

0:09:00 > 0:09:03- 14.50.- £14.50?- Yeah.

0:09:03 > 0:09:06- You'd buy it yourself, wouldn't you? - No.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08No? Why not?

0:09:08 > 0:09:13This is too big for me. But it doesn't mean other people wouldn't like it.

0:09:13 > 0:09:18- Just me personally it's too big. - From a distance it looks good.- Yes.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30That's got a bit of history to it. It's got some age.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32It's a pewter-mounted...

0:09:33 > 0:09:36..snuff horn.

0:09:36 > 0:09:40It's like a powder flask. A powder flask would have a clip at the top.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42What would you do with that, really?

0:09:42 > 0:09:44It's just an ornamental piece.

0:09:44 > 0:09:48There are nutters like me who collect snuff horns and snuff boxes.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50It is a collector's item.

0:09:51 > 0:09:54- Well, we know where it is.- Yep. - We know where it is.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57There's another one here, slightly different.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59A brass one. It's got a...

0:10:01 > 0:10:04..drinker, leaning up against his barrels of beer.

0:10:04 > 0:10:07- Right.- I like my snuff boxes.

0:10:07 > 0:10:10I always go towards what I like, which is a fatal mistake.

0:10:10 > 0:10:14As I said to you guys, it's irrelevant what you like.

0:10:14 > 0:10:18- But everybody does the same, gravitate to what they like. - It's brass?

0:10:18 > 0:10:22Yes. It's named as well, which is fun. See the way the J is done like an I?

0:10:22 > 0:10:25That's a classic 18th-century way of writing.

0:10:25 > 0:10:29That really dates it for you. It might as well be dated.

0:10:30 > 0:10:33£68. What would be the best on that?

0:10:33 > 0:10:36- It would be 60.- I can't say I'm...

0:10:36 > 0:10:39- We know it's there. - It's a nice size.- Is it?

0:10:39 > 0:10:43- A nice size. 55 for cash and I'm trying hard!- 60, it is.

0:10:43 > 0:10:44- <- 60?

0:10:44 > 0:10:49- You know this game is about making profit.- I know, exactly!

0:10:49 > 0:10:53That's our problem, too. That's what we're trying to do!

0:10:53 > 0:10:56I'll go another three quid. 58 quid.

0:10:56 > 0:10:59- I'm trying really hard to do a deal with you.- I know.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01Yes? Do you want it?

0:11:01 > 0:11:05- Yes, let's go for it.- Shall we go? - Yep.- We'll go.- Deal.

0:11:05 > 0:11:07Thank you. £58.

0:11:07 > 0:11:09That is a nice lot.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12Well, they've sniffed out two pieces, unlike the blues

0:11:12 > 0:11:14who've got nothing!

0:11:14 > 0:11:16This is quite an old piece.

0:11:18 > 0:11:20- What would it be for? - That is solid silver.

0:11:20 > 0:11:23Wow. Just needs a bit of a clean.

0:11:23 > 0:11:27It does. Now, when you put powder on your hair...

0:11:27 > 0:11:29- Yeah.- Or powder...

0:11:30 > 0:11:32Oh! Or dandruff!

0:11:32 > 0:11:33Very interesting!

0:11:35 > 0:11:36Thank you.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39That is nice. I like that. It's unusual. What do you think?

0:11:39 > 0:11:42Yes. Very nice. Date?

0:11:42 > 0:11:46Date-wise, last part of the 19th-century, just into the 20th.

0:11:46 > 0:11:48- Wow.- It's nice.- It would clean up beautifully.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51- Do you want to ask the price on that?- Yeah.

0:11:51 > 0:11:53- How much is this?- £20.- £20.

0:11:53 > 0:11:57- Is that the very best you can do? - Can you go down a little bit?

0:11:57 > 0:12:00- 18.- 18. What about 15?

0:12:00 > 0:12:02- Sorry, no.- No.

0:12:02 > 0:12:0317, between those.

0:12:03 > 0:12:07- 17. 17? 17 is quite good, isn't it? - That's even better.

0:12:09 > 0:12:12- I'd be happy with that for £17. - Really?

0:12:12 > 0:12:16I think it's lovely. I've never seen anything like this before.

0:12:16 > 0:12:18- I like it.- Yeah.

0:12:18 > 0:12:20We'll have that, then, please.

0:12:20 > 0:12:21Lovely.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23Can we have it gift-wrapped, please?

0:12:24 > 0:12:25Beautiful.

0:12:25 > 0:12:29Swept away! At last!

0:12:29 > 0:12:34- You've done well with that, Jodie. - I'm really pleased with it. - It's a feminine thing.

0:12:34 > 0:12:36Now we have to look for something butch!

0:12:41 > 0:12:43James, what about this? It's rather nice.

0:12:43 > 0:12:45Or don't you think?

0:12:46 > 0:12:48It's £395!

0:12:48 > 0:12:50Come on!

0:12:50 > 0:12:53- Oh, I didn't see that! I didn't see the price!- Pay attention!

0:12:53 > 0:12:58- We'll have it for 39! - I thought it was!

0:13:09 > 0:13:11- That's quite nice, actually. - It is nice.

0:13:11 > 0:13:15This design here is very much in that Art Nouveau style.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17- This is really pretty. - You like that?

0:13:17 > 0:13:22And I could use that for so many things. It's not just for tobacco.

0:13:22 > 0:13:26- It definitely wouldn't be.- Take the top off.- They're lined, are they?

0:13:26 > 0:13:29- It's got a lining inside. - What would it be?

0:13:29 > 0:13:32- That would be for tobacco. - It could be for coins.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35Coins. Would you put coins in there?

0:13:35 > 0:13:40Personally, I would, but not for long! Just as a little kitty.

0:13:40 > 0:13:42Where was it made? Is it European?

0:13:42 > 0:13:46I think it's European. More French than anything else.

0:13:46 > 0:13:50Nice quality. It's been lacquered at one stage.

0:13:50 > 0:13:54But what I like is this repeated design here.

0:13:54 > 0:13:57- Yeah.- It's Art Nouveau. I think it's quite nice. I like that piece.

0:13:57 > 0:14:01It stands out. Could I feel the weight of it? Would that be OK?

0:14:01 > 0:14:03Would there be a profit in that, David?

0:14:03 > 0:14:09I think this is Art Nouveau, but we're not buying at the big end of the market.

0:14:09 > 0:14:13- Right.- We're buying at the itsy-bitsy end of the market.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15You got one piece at £17.

0:14:15 > 0:14:19This you might get for about, dare I say, 28.

0:14:19 > 0:14:24- Right.- So if you got it at that sort of figure...- Yes.

0:14:24 > 0:14:27- You stand a chance of making a profit.- Yes.

0:14:27 > 0:14:32- That leaves nearly a hundred and... - For something else.- 200.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35- I think we should go for it. - Chris, ask the lady the price.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38Excuse me. We're interested in taking this.

0:14:38 > 0:14:40Would you take £20 for it?

0:14:40 > 0:14:43No. I can do 25.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46- 25. Would you meet me at 23? - I can't.

0:14:46 > 0:14:50- 25 is rock bottom. - 25 rock bottom. We'll take that.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53- 25. Is that OK, David? - I have spoken.

0:14:55 > 0:14:56He's our expert!

0:14:56 > 0:14:58He'll get over it!

0:14:58 > 0:15:01Meanwhile, check this out.

0:15:01 > 0:15:06Quite often, the back of a picture can tell you an awful lot more than the front.

0:15:06 > 0:15:10If you look at the grain of the timber, it's incredibly close-grained.

0:15:10 > 0:15:14Also, there aren't any knots in it.

0:15:14 > 0:15:16And at the top right hand corner,

0:15:16 > 0:15:18we've got a paper label.

0:15:18 > 0:15:21This is the retailer's label, and it says, "Luzern".

0:15:21 > 0:15:25Where's Luzern? In it's Switzerland.

0:15:25 > 0:15:29And if we look at the image itself on the other side,

0:15:29 > 0:15:34you have the quintessentially Swiss-based legend,

0:15:34 > 0:15:39because this character is no other personage than William Tell.

0:15:39 > 0:15:43This image, though, is not only interesting because of that.

0:15:43 > 0:15:47It's also interesting because of the way in which it was made.

0:15:47 > 0:15:51If you look at a picture, you normally expect it to be painted.

0:15:51 > 0:15:54This, however, has been "burned".

0:15:54 > 0:16:01That's why the selection of the timber, with no knots in it and no splits, is so important.

0:16:01 > 0:16:07Look at the fine lines that go to make up William Tell's jerkin.

0:16:07 > 0:16:12Each of those fine lines is done with a red-hot needle.

0:16:12 > 0:16:16The detail is truly extraordinary.

0:16:16 > 0:16:20This charming, almost Botticelli-like head of a child

0:16:20 > 0:16:23hanging on to his dad's hand.

0:16:23 > 0:16:26This technique is called pyrography

0:16:26 > 0:16:31and it was incredibly popular in the 19th century particularly

0:16:31 > 0:16:37and this is just an exquisite and very rare example of this art form.

0:16:37 > 0:16:41This thing is available on a stand around the corner for £40.

0:16:41 > 0:16:46Is that cheap? Well, only William can tell!

0:16:47 > 0:16:48Perhaps!

0:16:48 > 0:16:52Right. Picking up where we left off, each team needs one more bargain.

0:16:52 > 0:16:55Let's go down here. We haven't explored this.

0:16:55 > 0:16:59- There's so much to see. - A vast amount. Vast, vast amount.

0:17:04 > 0:17:07It's what we were talking about earlier.

0:17:07 > 0:17:09That wouldn't be for snuff! Would it?

0:17:09 > 0:17:12Sometimes you get them for powder.

0:17:12 > 0:17:13Right. Yes.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15And there...

0:17:16 > 0:17:19- That's where you would fill the gun? - Empty that.

0:17:19 > 0:17:23If you had a Brown Bess musket, 19th century,

0:17:23 > 0:17:25that's the sort of thing you'd fill it up with.

0:17:25 > 0:17:29They're not easy things to sell, I have to say.

0:17:29 > 0:17:31Who'd buy that, really?

0:17:31 > 0:17:32A one-horned cow?

0:17:35 > 0:17:39Could you do an amazing deal on that if I can persuade these guys to go for it?

0:17:39 > 0:17:42Er, I could do 75.

0:17:42 > 0:17:4475.

0:17:44 > 0:17:47- I think we're going to be a bit tight on that.- Yes.

0:17:47 > 0:17:51- I could come down to 70.- 70 is it.

0:17:51 > 0:17:54The lady's obviously had to pay quite a lot for it.

0:17:54 > 0:17:58You'd want it for about 55 for us to get a chance

0:17:58 > 0:18:00and she's come down to 70.

0:18:00 > 0:18:01I don't think she will.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04I think we'll end up saying no.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06It's a nice object, but...

0:18:06 > 0:18:10- Shame.- I'll ask. I'll go and find her.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14I think it's a nice piece.

0:18:14 > 0:18:17Is there anything else on this stall you want to look at?

0:18:17 > 0:18:23- Um, I quite like that silver rack there.- Chris, can you go and get it?

0:18:23 > 0:18:26This one?

0:18:26 > 0:18:27Yeah, that one there.

0:18:27 > 0:18:30Let's have a look at that, Chris.

0:18:30 > 0:18:31What's it described as?

0:18:31 > 0:18:34I can't see. Can you see that?

0:18:34 > 0:18:39"Silver plate oak letter rack. £78."

0:18:39 > 0:18:42Well, it's not for toast.

0:18:42 > 0:18:45If it's a letter rack, it's quite interesting. It's not for toast.

0:18:45 > 0:18:49- Talk about it.- Would it make toast of us, David, if...

0:18:49 > 0:18:51- That was bad.- Terrible, wasn't it?

0:18:52 > 0:18:54Ah, cheesy puns.

0:18:54 > 0:18:56I Camembert it!

0:18:56 > 0:18:59- What did she come down to?- 60, now.

0:18:59 > 0:19:04You know, I mean you've got to reach 60 before you go into profit.

0:19:04 > 0:19:08I don't think we will, personally.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10How much longer have we got?

0:19:10 > 0:19:12- Plenty of time. - We've got plenty of time.

0:19:12 > 0:19:15Just look at the colour of that.

0:19:15 > 0:19:19It's almost like bronze. Put your hand on it and rub it.

0:19:19 > 0:19:21- Been used a lot.- Look at that.

0:19:21 > 0:19:28- That's English oak. - It's so impressive that that thread is still there.

0:19:28 > 0:19:30It has history.

0:19:30 > 0:19:34You can imagine somebody wearing a tricorn hat

0:19:34 > 0:19:38- out hunting in the Scottish Highlands.- How old's that then?

0:19:38 > 0:19:42It's around 1780 to 1820. We're talking about something that's 200 years old

0:19:42 > 0:19:45that's gone through since the reign of George III.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48Seen Queen Victoria born and died.

0:19:48 > 0:19:49Seen two world wars.

0:19:49 > 0:19:52Nelson hadn't yet won.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55Trafalgar hadn't happened.

0:19:55 > 0:19:58We hadn't had the Duke of Wellington at Waterloo.

0:19:58 > 0:20:02But this little powder horn saw all of that happen.

0:20:02 > 0:20:04And it's still here in good order.

0:20:04 > 0:20:08Oh, it makes you proud to be British!

0:20:09 > 0:20:13It has a great colour. Yes, it's cow horn admittedly,

0:20:13 > 0:20:15but it's a countryman's thing.

0:20:17 > 0:20:21Anyway, back to the 21st century.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23Let me ask if she'll take the 55. Let me ask her.

0:20:23 > 0:20:26She might say no, then it answers the question for you.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29- What do you think?- I quite like it. - Do you?- Yeah.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31She's phoning home.

0:20:31 > 0:20:35- Phoning home!- To make sure she doesn't get into trouble.

0:20:35 > 0:20:37She doesn't know what he paid for it.

0:20:37 > 0:20:39He may well have paid 30 quid.

0:20:39 > 0:20:42If he's paid 30 quid there's a profit in it and they're happy.

0:20:42 > 0:20:46Who would have made that? Did he make it himself?

0:20:46 > 0:20:49It could well be a farmer, if a cow's died.

0:20:49 > 0:20:50- Yes.- Yes?

0:20:50 > 0:20:53We've got it at 55.

0:20:53 > 0:20:55- Are we going to go for it? - Yes, I think so.

0:20:55 > 0:21:00Do you know, it's against all the rules, but if you don't buy this, I'll buy it for me.

0:21:00 > 0:21:03- Because I love it. I absolutely love it.- I think we'll buy it.

0:21:03 > 0:21:09- That's against all the rules. - Tell you what, we will buy it and sell it to you!

0:21:09 > 0:21:13- No, that IS against the rules! - At a profit!- I can't do that!

0:21:13 > 0:21:18No, you are not! We run a tight ship here on Bargain Hunt.

0:21:19 > 0:21:20- Hey.- We've finished.

0:21:20 > 0:21:24- You what?- We've finished, haven't we?- You're early!

0:21:24 > 0:21:27- You're early! - 35 minutes. How about that?

0:21:27 > 0:21:30Speedy Gonzales! You haven't peaked early, have you?

0:21:30 > 0:21:33- No.- Haven't overdone it? - No, I don't think so.

0:21:33 > 0:21:37- How much did you spend overall? - £141.- £141. OK.

0:21:37 > 0:21:39- 159 change.- I've got the money.

0:21:39 > 0:21:43159 change. 159.

0:21:43 > 0:21:46That's a bit of a mess, isn't it? I won't bother counting it.

0:21:46 > 0:21:50- There we go. 159. We'll have to trust them.- Lovely. Thank you.

0:21:50 > 0:21:52- That's a decent amount, isn't it? - Yes.

0:21:52 > 0:21:56- What are you going to do with it? - Try to find something really early.

0:21:56 > 0:21:58I need some inspiration from above.

0:21:58 > 0:22:03- From the Almighty, do you think? - Could be directly from the Almighty.

0:22:03 > 0:22:07I feel something spooky happening here. Good luck with it.

0:22:07 > 0:22:10'Nothing spooky about the blues, and they've still got one to buy.'

0:22:10 > 0:22:13- We haven't done along here. - Yeah, we'll do here.

0:22:13 > 0:22:18- There's loads of costume jewellery over there.- Yep, let's go. - Take a look.

0:22:18 > 0:22:22- Here's to a winning.- Absolutely. Here's to you.

0:22:22 > 0:22:24David, do you like this?

0:22:24 > 0:22:25- Hmm...- No?

0:22:27 > 0:22:30We need to pass on, don't we?

0:22:30 > 0:22:34I don't know why you convinced me to buy that horn! Ridiculous!

0:22:34 > 0:22:38- It's two-thirds of the budget.- We need to shop around a bit more.

0:22:38 > 0:22:40Wonder where the blues are?

0:22:47 > 0:22:49- That's nice.- That's £160.

0:22:49 > 0:22:51- Wow.- Wow.

0:22:51 > 0:22:54It's French with import marks on it.

0:22:55 > 0:22:57It's 165?

0:22:57 > 0:22:59- It's come down to 150.- 150.

0:22:59 > 0:23:02That's our "wow" item, isn't it?

0:23:02 > 0:23:04- Can I have a...- Is it a "wow" item?

0:23:04 > 0:23:06- I like it.- Yeah.

0:23:06 > 0:23:10- It's expensive to pay for a silver box.- Yeah.

0:23:10 > 0:23:13- But it's got a lovely style of decoration on it.- Yeah.

0:23:13 > 0:23:16We've got to make a decision. We've only minutes left.

0:23:16 > 0:23:20Otherwise we'll rush round the fair and you'll buy the wrong object.

0:23:20 > 0:23:22- Yeah.- At 150, I think it's reasonable.

0:23:22 > 0:23:27- I think we need to get probably just a little bit less off. - Five or ten pounds, maybe.

0:23:27 > 0:23:30- Yeah, just by... - It is nice, isn't it?

0:23:30 > 0:23:32- It's very pretty. - Shall we go for it, then?

0:23:32 > 0:23:34This is a desperate buy.

0:23:34 > 0:23:36- Yeah.- A desperate buy.

0:23:36 > 0:23:38- We've looked at so much.- Yeah.

0:23:38 > 0:23:42And this is the end of the day and I think it's your last chance.

0:23:42 > 0:23:44It could make us or break us

0:23:44 > 0:23:46- but I like it.- Yeah.

0:23:46 > 0:23:49- 145.- 145. Happy at that? - Oh, thank you!

0:23:49 > 0:23:52- Thank you!- Give him a kiss!

0:23:55 > 0:23:57So they've all chosen their bargains.

0:23:57 > 0:23:59Let's recap on what the reds bought. Morning!

0:23:59 > 0:24:05Myra and David acted on instinct with the £28 bard.

0:24:06 > 0:24:10A brass tobacco box was next, for 58.

0:24:12 > 0:24:14And in a wave of patriotic fervour,

0:24:14 > 0:24:18the horn powder flask came in at 55 smackers.

0:24:19 > 0:24:21James has his leftover lolly.

0:24:21 > 0:24:23So let's recap what the blue team bought.

0:24:23 > 0:24:28- I'd be happy with that for £17. - Really?- I think it's lovely.

0:24:28 > 0:24:30Jodie and Chris hope to hoover a profit

0:24:30 > 0:24:33with the dusting brush.

0:24:33 > 0:24:38A £25 brass cylindrical box came next.

0:24:39 > 0:24:42And finally, they went for gold - well, silver, actually -

0:24:42 > 0:24:45paying £145 for a French box.

0:24:45 > 0:24:48Desperation at the very end of the shopping.

0:24:48 > 0:24:50Lovely to see a bonded-up team

0:24:50 > 0:24:52at the end of the day.

0:24:52 > 0:24:57- Our mate, David.- Did you find a decent, more expensive third item?

0:24:57 > 0:24:59Yes.

0:24:59 > 0:25:02- In our last few minutes. - OK. Fine. What was it, again?

0:25:02 > 0:25:06- It's like a small silver box, French, I believe.- French.

0:25:06 > 0:25:09With an import mark. Rather pretty. Quite nice.

0:25:09 > 0:25:13- How much did it cost you?- £145.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15How much did you spend overall?

0:25:15 > 0:25:16£187.

0:25:16 > 0:25:21- Yeah. 187.- Check, check, check. That's OK. 187.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24So I would like £117 of leftover lolly, please.

0:25:24 > 0:25:29- 113.- Oh, my, she has got financial experience!

0:25:29 > 0:25:31113. Thank you very much.

0:25:31 > 0:25:33£113, David.

0:25:33 > 0:25:36- Thank you very much. - Big responsibility coming up.

0:25:36 > 0:25:38- Yes.- Buy well!- Please buy well.

0:25:38 > 0:25:43They don't have to take what you buy. But generally, this man is very sharp.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46Gosh, what a reputation to have!

0:25:46 > 0:25:48- Yes.- Being sharp.

0:25:48 > 0:25:50Not just sharp, but lovely too.

0:25:50 > 0:25:53- I know what you mean. - What you call lovely and sharp!

0:25:55 > 0:25:57While the experts shop,

0:25:57 > 0:25:59I'm off to Plas Newydd,

0:25:59 > 0:26:02home to the Marquess of Anglesey

0:26:02 > 0:26:07and a sculpture crafted by master silversmith, Paul Storr.

0:26:11 > 0:26:14The first thing that strikes you about this piece

0:26:14 > 0:26:18are these muscular, powerful, leaping horses.

0:26:18 > 0:26:24These beasts are intersposed by winged figures of victory,

0:26:24 > 0:26:28because this is the Martial Trophy.

0:26:34 > 0:26:37This whole military theme continues

0:26:37 > 0:26:39in the stem of this column.

0:26:39 > 0:26:43What we have here are basically things

0:26:43 > 0:26:47that relate to ancient Roman or Greek battles.

0:26:47 > 0:26:52Here we've got a beautifully formed legionnaire's breast-plate,

0:26:52 > 0:26:59shield, scale armour, hatchets, banners, pikes and trophies,

0:26:59 > 0:27:05all of which have been applied and cast to this Roman-form column

0:27:05 > 0:27:08to form a military trophy.

0:27:08 > 0:27:11So why is this piece here at Plas Newydd?

0:27:11 > 0:27:17It's here because at the time, the owner was a Lord Paget.

0:27:17 > 0:27:23Lord Paget commanded the British cavalry in the Peninsular War.

0:27:23 > 0:27:30The Peninsular War which dragged Napoleon and 200,000 of his troops

0:27:30 > 0:27:33into Spain to try and push the British out.

0:27:35 > 0:27:37They were nearly successful,

0:27:37 > 0:27:44were it not for Lord Paget's heroism in the use of his cavalry.

0:27:44 > 0:27:49As a result, within the body of this presentation piece

0:27:49 > 0:27:52we have panels that relate directly to the campaign.

0:27:52 > 0:27:55Paul Storr has cast in silver here

0:27:55 > 0:28:00in relief, the British cavalry driving into the French

0:28:00 > 0:28:04and tumbling them, defeated, down this rocky outcrop.

0:28:04 > 0:28:08Just look at all those horses, tumbling to their death.

0:28:08 > 0:28:13As a result of Paget's heroism and success,

0:28:13 > 0:28:16the nation was duly grateful.

0:28:16 > 0:28:19Indeed, on his return after Corunna,

0:28:19 > 0:28:24the Prince of Wales presented this silver gilt trophy

0:28:24 > 0:28:27and that is recorded here in the inscription on the base

0:28:27 > 0:28:30in 1808.

0:28:30 > 0:28:32Isn't that a great story?

0:28:32 > 0:28:34Of course the big question today is,

0:28:34 > 0:28:38are our teams going to display similar heroics over at the auction?

0:28:40 > 0:28:44Before we hear from auctioneer Robert Stones,

0:28:44 > 0:28:47let's see if James Lewis did the business

0:28:47 > 0:28:50and found a divine bonus buy or not.

0:28:50 > 0:28:55£159 of leftover lolly you had, Myra and David. James, reveal all.

0:28:55 > 0:28:59This, I think, is the best thing I have ever found.

0:28:59 > 0:29:02I'm really excited about this one.

0:29:02 > 0:29:08I think that is a fantastic object. £120 paid.

0:29:08 > 0:29:10It has a hallmark there.

0:29:10 > 0:29:16It's probably German. But it's 1680, 1700 in date

0:29:16 > 0:29:19and fantastically rare.

0:29:19 > 0:29:22I absolutely love it.

0:29:22 > 0:29:26I think that is one of the best things I've ever found on Bargain Hunt.

0:29:26 > 0:29:31- 120 quid.- Yeah. I know you'll be asked later whether you want to take it or not.

0:29:31 > 0:29:35I can't say anything more than if you don't, you'll be mad!

0:29:35 > 0:29:37Because this is brilliant.

0:29:37 > 0:29:39It looks gorgeous.

0:29:39 > 0:29:42Well you don't get much of a recommendation out of the experts

0:29:42 > 0:29:46coming to promote their bonus buys or any stronger recommendation than that.

0:29:46 > 0:29:52For you to find this, frankly, James, out of a box for £120 on the island of Anglesey

0:29:52 > 0:29:55is one of those barn-type discoveries that people dream about.

0:29:55 > 0:29:59- Yes.- It's just what might we get today in a moment in the auction.

0:29:59 > 0:30:04I can see Myra's face puckering up with excitement.

0:30:04 > 0:30:07- Retail therapy, this! - It's all down to James.

0:30:07 > 0:30:12If you hadn't spotted it at that moment, we wouldn't have this excitement now.

0:30:12 > 0:30:14Thank you for that. And for viewers at home,

0:30:14 > 0:30:18let's now find out what the auctioneer thinks about the crucifix.

0:30:19 > 0:30:22There we are. May peace be with you.

0:30:22 > 0:30:24Bless you, Tim.

0:30:24 > 0:30:26We have a Corpus Christi here.

0:30:26 > 0:30:30We are really quite enthusiastic about this, I have to tell you.

0:30:30 > 0:30:35This could so easily have been passed over by somebody thinking it was more recent.

0:30:35 > 0:30:39We think it's actually continental, 17th or 18th century.

0:30:40 > 0:30:43Unfortunately there's a mark just here.

0:30:43 > 0:30:49We are struggling to identify it. But for all of that, we're not a million miles away

0:30:49 > 0:30:51on what we perceive it to be.

0:30:51 > 0:30:55How exciting. It's James Lewis's bonus buy.

0:30:55 > 0:30:58We don't know whether the team's going to go with it or not.

0:30:58 > 0:31:00Nor will they know your estimate.

0:31:00 > 0:31:02- What is your estimate?- Well,

0:31:02 > 0:31:05we are putting 300 to 500 on it.

0:31:05 > 0:31:08Really? £120 he paid.

0:31:08 > 0:31:10So that would be really exciting.

0:31:10 > 0:31:12Clever old James to find it.

0:31:12 > 0:31:15- Definitely.- In a field on Anglesey.

0:31:15 > 0:31:19- He chanced his arm, really.- See how we get on with it.- Brilliant.

0:31:19 > 0:31:22We kick on with their Derby figure. Do you like this?

0:31:22 > 0:31:27A great figure. The biggest problem with it is its condition.

0:31:27 > 0:31:29The hand of the figure is missing.

0:31:29 > 0:31:33They inevitably get damaged quite often. This is not surprising,

0:31:33 > 0:31:37a figure of this age missing the hand there. Shame, really.

0:31:37 > 0:31:41- What do you think it's worth? - We're saying 100 to 150.

0:31:41 > 0:31:45- £28 was paid. James Lewis found it. - Bargain.- He fell in love with it.

0:31:45 > 0:31:48Next is the Dutch brass tobacco box.

0:31:48 > 0:31:50Do you rate that?

0:31:50 > 0:31:53I personally love this sort of metalwork.

0:31:53 > 0:31:57It's a wonderful thing that was carried in somebody's pocket.

0:31:57 > 0:32:01I look at the social history and feel it's charming from that point of view.

0:32:01 > 0:32:03Artistically maybe not great,

0:32:03 > 0:32:09but as a piece of social history I think it's super. I like it.

0:32:09 > 0:32:12- And estimate?- On that one we're saying 40 to 60.

0:32:12 > 0:32:14- £58 they paid.- Yeah. OK.

0:32:14 > 0:32:19Lastly, we've got this really superb powder horn.

0:32:19 > 0:32:23Actually, when you think about it, they fitted perfectly.

0:32:23 > 0:32:26They were often worn across people's shoulders on a strap.

0:32:26 > 0:32:30They fitted across somebody's hip very well, full of powder.

0:32:30 > 0:32:34- An interesting thing.- What do you think it's worth?

0:32:34 > 0:32:36- 30 to 50.- OK. £55 paid.

0:32:36 > 0:32:39- But that could take off.- May do.

0:32:39 > 0:32:42If you've got one or two specialists about.

0:32:42 > 0:32:45So that's it for the reds. Now for the blues.

0:32:45 > 0:32:48What about this dusting brush?

0:32:48 > 0:32:54When I first saw it, I thought it was a crumb brush for getting crumbs off a dining table.

0:32:54 > 0:32:57But I think it's more likely to be off a dressing table.

0:32:57 > 0:33:02Part of a dressing table set, perhaps. A nice little thing.

0:33:02 > 0:33:04- What's it worth? - We put 40 to 60 on it.

0:33:04 > 0:33:06£17 paid.

0:33:06 > 0:33:09- A bargain.- Seems pretty good for a silver-topped object.

0:33:09 > 0:33:13- Absolutely.- Next is this brass cylindrical pot.

0:33:13 > 0:33:16Not quite sure for what. Cigarettes?

0:33:16 > 0:33:17Could be cigarettes.

0:33:17 > 0:33:20Maybe tea?

0:33:20 > 0:33:22- Tea?- Not sure about that.

0:33:22 > 0:33:25But either way, it's got reasonable decoration on it.

0:33:25 > 0:33:28But not fashionable. Do people want this sort of thing?

0:33:28 > 0:33:30- Estimate?- 20 to 40.

0:33:30 > 0:33:32£25 paid, so that's good.

0:33:32 > 0:33:36We're all in the frame with all of this. Now,

0:33:36 > 0:33:39the last item is described as a comfit box,

0:33:39 > 0:33:41which for me is a little sweetie box.

0:33:41 > 0:33:44I don't know about putting sweets in that.

0:33:44 > 0:33:48It's a little hinged box with garden scenes on it.

0:33:48 > 0:33:53Just a nice little collector's box. Not a lot more we can say, to be honest, Tim.

0:33:53 > 0:33:55How much do you think it's worth?

0:33:55 > 0:33:57- 40 to 60.- Is that all?

0:33:57 > 0:33:58£145.

0:33:58 > 0:34:01- Golly.- There's a big dark hole opening up underneath that!

0:34:01 > 0:34:05- It's a bit of a problem. - Yep. There's no comfort in there! - Not at all!

0:34:05 > 0:34:06No!

0:34:06 > 0:34:09Anyway, let's have a look at the bonus buy.

0:34:10 > 0:34:14Jodie and Chris, you gave David Barby £113.

0:34:14 > 0:34:17Nay, you entrusted him with £113.

0:34:17 > 0:34:22Blessed with that confidence and trust, how did he invest?

0:34:22 > 0:34:26I don't know if I want to unveil it after those comments! Here we are.

0:34:26 > 0:34:28Ooh!

0:34:28 > 0:34:30A piece of Welsh vernacular furniture.

0:34:30 > 0:34:32This is a child's cradle.

0:34:32 > 0:34:37Date-wise probably towards the end of the 19th century.

0:34:37 > 0:34:40I like it because it has this shaped hood here.

0:34:40 > 0:34:42It's in its original state

0:34:42 > 0:34:44with a painted interior.

0:34:44 > 0:34:47You might say, "You can't put a child in this now",

0:34:47 > 0:34:50- but you could use it as a jardiniere.- What do you think?

0:34:50 > 0:34:54- It all depends on how much. - Look, and it works! It works!

0:34:54 > 0:34:58- What did you pay?- It works! - The question is, has David gone off his rocker?

0:35:00 > 0:35:02- I paid £70 for it.- 70?

0:35:02 > 0:35:04Which is not a meal out for two, is it?

0:35:04 > 0:35:07- No.- No. It's a meal out for four!

0:35:10 > 0:35:13- How much do you think... - Is there a profit in it?

0:35:13 > 0:35:16- I'd like to see it do 100. - Would you?- Yes.

0:35:16 > 0:35:19Just hold those thoughts. We're going to find out now

0:35:19 > 0:35:23what the auctioneer thinks about David's cradle.

0:35:23 > 0:35:25So, Robert. How do you rate this?

0:35:25 > 0:35:30I have to tell you this is not the most commercial thing in the world.

0:35:30 > 0:35:33But I think it is extremely interesting

0:35:33 > 0:35:38because we're looking here at a country made piece of furniture.

0:35:38 > 0:35:40At the end of the day, it's furniture.

0:35:40 > 0:35:45The thing I particularly like about this are what I would describe as the social marks.

0:35:45 > 0:35:47That's to say if you look inside the crib,

0:35:47 > 0:35:50you can see where the baby has been.

0:35:50 > 0:35:54The side of the crib here is worn where the baby's been moving about.

0:35:54 > 0:35:58And somewhat charmingly, if you look at the side of the cradle here,

0:35:58 > 0:36:01you can see where the mother has been rocking the cradle.

0:36:01 > 0:36:06So I think those social marks are really rather nice.

0:36:06 > 0:36:10I'm feeling a lot better about it now you've explained all that!

0:36:10 > 0:36:14- Babies going in and out of here. I could burst into tears!- Don't!

0:36:14 > 0:36:17- But whether it'll make any more money is another matter.- Yes.

0:36:17 > 0:36:19After all that, what's your estimate?

0:36:19 > 0:36:23Not a very commercial thing, but we're thinking 50 to £100.

0:36:23 > 0:36:26£70 paid by David Barby.

0:36:26 > 0:36:29- Fair enough.- We'll find out in a moment. Thanks, Robert.

0:36:35 > 0:36:38- Any particular piece that you're worried about?- Yes.- Which?

0:36:38 > 0:36:43- The silver box. - £145 paid for that.- Yes.

0:36:43 > 0:36:46First up is the dusting brush. Here it comes.

0:36:46 > 0:36:50That's the lot before you. £30 to start it off? A super thing.

0:36:50 > 0:36:52At £30? 30 I'm bid straightaway.

0:36:52 > 0:36:54£30. At 30.

0:36:54 > 0:36:56£30. 32? It's at 32.

0:36:56 > 0:36:59- 35 now. 35.- They like it.- At 40 now?

0:36:59 > 0:37:01At £38. A bid at £38.

0:37:01 > 0:37:04It will be sold at £38. All done?

0:37:04 > 0:37:08- £38 is plus 21. Plus 21, girl. - Brilliant.

0:37:08 > 0:37:10Lot number 205, the brass box.

0:37:10 > 0:37:12£15 to start it off.

0:37:12 > 0:37:14This is cheap. 15 there. 15.

0:37:14 > 0:37:1618 now, do I hear? 18.

0:37:16 > 0:37:1920? 22 on the phone.

0:37:19 > 0:37:20- 25 now? 25?- No!

0:37:20 > 0:37:23At £22 being sold here. £22.

0:37:23 > 0:37:25All done? 25.

0:37:29 > 0:37:3032. 35.

0:37:30 > 0:37:3238? 38 is here.

0:37:32 > 0:37:34- 38 and then it's sold.- One more go.

0:37:34 > 0:37:37£38. On the telephone at £38.

0:37:37 > 0:37:40£38, David. Nothing the matter with that. Plus 13.

0:37:40 > 0:37:44I make it plus, plus. What we really need is a profit on this box.

0:37:44 > 0:37:47Lovely little box, ladies and gentlemen.

0:37:47 > 0:37:50Continental marks on it. How much may we say?

0:37:50 > 0:37:52£30 to start it off, surely. At £30.

0:37:52 > 0:37:55£30 anywhere? £30 bid there straightaway. £30 I have.

0:37:55 > 0:37:5830. 35. 40 now. 40 bid.

0:38:13 > 0:38:15At £85 now. Last chance.

0:38:15 > 0:38:18- Ooh!- £85 is minus 60. - Could have been worse!

0:38:18 > 0:38:20Minus 60, I'm sorry to say.

0:38:20 > 0:38:23Minus 60 and 34 is £26.

0:38:23 > 0:38:28- You're minus £26.- That's not much. - Not bad.- £26 off.

0:38:28 > 0:38:31- What will you do about the cradle? - We're going for it.

0:38:31 > 0:38:35- We said we would do.- I think you bought something good.- It's nice.

0:38:35 > 0:38:38- Yeah. £70 invested. You're going on with it?- Yes.- Yes.

0:38:38 > 0:38:42We're going with the bonus buy. Good luck. Here it comes.

0:38:42 > 0:38:44Very interesting thing. What may we say for it?

0:38:44 > 0:38:48- 50 I'm bid straightaway. £50 bid. - Can I put my hand up?

0:38:48 > 0:38:5155. 60, now. £60 on the telephone.

0:39:06 > 0:39:08At £80 and going to be sold. £80. Last chance.

0:39:08 > 0:39:12- Oh!- £80. Well done.- Well done. - It made a profit.

0:39:12 > 0:39:16It did. Plus ten. Absolutely super. So overall you're minus 16.

0:39:16 > 0:39:18Don't tell the reds a thing!

0:39:18 > 0:39:21We'll reveal all in just a moment.

0:39:21 > 0:39:22Thanks, guys.

0:39:27 > 0:39:29This is really exciting, isn't it?

0:39:29 > 0:39:33We're on the edge. We've got some great predictions for your lots.

0:39:33 > 0:39:35Which is really exciting.

0:39:35 > 0:39:37First up is Shakespeare.

0:39:37 > 0:39:40That's the lot for you, ladies and gentlemen.

0:39:40 > 0:39:42How much for this? 30 bid straightaway.

0:39:42 > 0:39:44We're in profit already!

0:39:44 > 0:39:4635. 38?

0:39:55 > 0:39:59- A profit!- £42 is still a profit. Plus 14.

0:39:59 > 0:40:01That's good!

0:40:01 > 0:40:05Lot 183 is the late 18th-century brass tobacco box.

0:40:05 > 0:40:07What may we say for it?

0:40:07 > 0:40:09£30 to start it off. 30 I'm bid. 30 bid.

0:40:09 > 0:40:1332? Are you going to let me sell it for this?

0:40:13 > 0:40:16At £30 only. £30 only. All finished and done?

0:40:16 > 0:40:18Yes? 35. 38.

0:40:20 > 0:40:22- 40 bid.- Come on!- £40 bid.

0:40:22 > 0:40:24At 40, then.

0:40:24 > 0:40:26- Thank goodness for that. - There we go.

0:40:26 > 0:40:31Minus 18. So overall you are minus four.

0:40:31 > 0:40:33- Minus four.- The horn's up now.

0:40:33 > 0:40:37Here comes this lovely horn. This is beautiful.

0:40:37 > 0:40:39What's it worth? Give me a starter. £20 to start?

0:40:58 > 0:41:00- At £30.- Oh, come on!

0:41:00 > 0:41:03£30. That's wicked.

0:41:03 > 0:41:07That is just the most ridiculous price for that!

0:41:07 > 0:41:10Overall it's 29. What about the bonus buy?

0:41:10 > 0:41:15- Are you going with the crucifix or stick?- I think so. I like that.

0:41:15 > 0:41:20- No question we're going with it. - Yes.- Going with it. - At this rate, it'll make £2.50!

0:41:20 > 0:41:23One of the more interesting lots in today's sale.

0:41:23 > 0:41:27A German crucifix. How much may we say for it? £100 anywhere?

0:41:27 > 0:41:29£100 I have. £100 bid. At £100.

0:41:29 > 0:41:31A timid £100 bid.

0:41:31 > 0:41:35- At £100. 110 I need.- Come on!- 120.

0:41:48 > 0:41:51200 now do I hear anywhere else? You're out?

0:41:51 > 0:41:55To be sold at £190. It's being sold at 190.

0:41:55 > 0:41:57Well done, James. A profit of £70

0:41:57 > 0:42:01which means you are £41 up.

0:42:01 > 0:42:03At least we're in profit!

0:42:03 > 0:42:05- £41 up.- Oh, guys!

0:42:05 > 0:42:07- Oh, guys!- You tried!

0:42:07 > 0:42:09- You tried.- Yeah.- You did very well.

0:42:09 > 0:42:12- Well.- We're in profit, that's the main thing.

0:42:12 > 0:42:16That may well be a winning score. Just don't say a thing to the blues.

0:42:16 > 0:42:18Not a peep.

0:42:23 > 0:42:26- Have you been chatting to one another?- No!- Nope.

0:42:26 > 0:42:29- Do you want to be chatting to one another?- Yes.

0:42:29 > 0:42:33You really want to know what's happened today, don't you?

0:42:33 > 0:42:34- Yes.- No!

0:42:36 > 0:42:39Have you had a premonition, David, cos I have to reveal

0:42:39 > 0:42:42that the runners-up today are the blues.

0:42:44 > 0:42:46The blues are runners-up
