0:00:03 > 0:00:07Our two teams today are husbands and wives.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10And not a marriage joke to be seen.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13So let's go bargaining hunting!
0:00:38 > 0:00:43Somewhere in all these thousands of antiques is a bargain or two.
0:00:43 > 0:00:50Hopefully, the teams will find three items that will make them want to renew their vows at the auction.
0:00:51 > 0:00:56Either way, they'll have £300 to nag each other with.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01'Coming up today, the Reds fool around with Mark Stacey.'
0:01:01 > 0:01:05- David.- Yes?- I thought we were supposed to be on the same team.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10'The Blues bargain hard with Jeremy Lamond.'
0:01:10 > 0:01:15- It's got 150 on it.- 150? - We were looking at more like 50. HE LAUGHS
0:01:15 > 0:01:20- 'And it all hangs in the balance at the auction.'- Oh, rubbish!
0:01:21 > 0:01:25'Nail-biting stuff. On with the show!'
0:01:25 > 0:01:30For the Reds today, we have the husband and wife combo from heaven,
0:01:30 > 0:01:35- Irene and David, who've been together now for nearly 60 years. - Feels like it.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37- How long actually? - 42 years on Thursday.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- And counting.- And counting. I'm still on my first husband.
0:01:40 > 0:01:45That's brilliant. Something must be going right. How did it all start?
0:01:45 > 0:01:48We met at a 21st birthday party.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52He was my knight in shining armour and has been for 42 years.
0:01:52 > 0:01:57- Well, isn't that lovely? - That'll be a first. SHE LAUGHS
0:01:57 > 0:02:04- You've been retired now for a bit. - We have.- What do you get up to in your time in train, David?
0:02:04 > 0:02:10- I was a police officer for 27 years in Merseyside.- Any particular highlights of your career?
0:02:10 > 0:02:16Well, I was on patrol one day with a colleague and we saw this vehicle go through at very, very high speed
0:02:16 > 0:02:21- and I said, "We're going to pull over that car and have a word with the driver."- Quite right.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25And I did have a word with the driver, who just happened to be my wife.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- No!- In our new car. My new car.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32How embarrassing is that? So you gave her a ticket, I hope!
0:02:32 > 0:02:37I gave her a rollicking! I would've had to pay the ticket! THEY LAUGH
0:02:37 > 0:02:40So is it going to be a question of good cop, bad cop with you today?
0:02:40 > 0:02:46- Who's going to be the good cop? You're the good cop and you're the hard woman.- Definitely!
0:02:46 > 0:02:51- Well, we'll see how it all pans out. OK, lovely.- Thank you. - It's great that you're on the show.
0:02:51 > 0:02:58- Now, over to the Blues. Mel, it says here that you've been married to the great Ken for 15 years.- Yes.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- And has it been wonderful all the way?- Fantastic.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03- No arguments?- Erm, just one or two.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- THEY LAUGH - Well, thanks for owning up to that.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- Got any sprogs?- I've got two lovely children, Jonathan and Heather.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14- They take up a lot of your time. - Yes.- But it does enable you to still pop off to the bank.
0:03:14 > 0:03:19It does. I work in a bank as a cashier, so I'm in charge of the money.
0:03:19 > 0:03:26- I mean, £300 for you today is just like chicken feed.- Peanuts. - Yeah, peanuts. Great.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Now, Ken, you are very keen on the Scouts. Tell us about that.
0:03:29 > 0:03:34Yes, I started working with the local Scout group a year or so ago
0:03:34 > 0:03:39- and we go out walking and...- It's a really nice thing to do, isn't it?
0:03:39 > 0:03:43- They're a handful up a mountain or up a hill.- Scattering like sheep.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47They scatter. We tell them, "Don't go here, don't go there." It's an adventure,
0:03:47 > 0:03:50seeing them all disappear in different directions.
0:03:50 > 0:03:56Lovely. Anyway, moving on, it's the money moment. £300 apiece. There's your 300.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59You know the rules, your experts await, and off you go!
0:03:59 > 0:04:01And very, very, very good luck.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04What lovely teams, eh? This is going to be fun.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09What are you trying to achieve today?
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- OK, well, we're going to have a load of fun to start with.- Right.
0:04:12 > 0:04:17See if we can find some nice Moorcroft or something like that, or maybe some silver.
0:04:17 > 0:04:22I'd like to look at some pottery and maybe some Moorcroft, something like that.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- OK.- I like wooden things.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Plenty of those to choose from. We're surrounded by wooden things.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31- Ready to go?- Yes. - Let's go.- Let's go.
0:04:31 > 0:04:36'Mainly wooden experts! Both teams know what they want.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38'Moorcroft!'
0:04:38 > 0:04:40- 425.- Oh, my word!
0:04:40 > 0:04:46- It's an early piece, you see? So it's realistic, actually. - Very, very expensive.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51And this is a little iris piece here. 250.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55- Still a bit pricey.- Very pricey.- And that one's free.- Free, obviously.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- Cos it's got no price on it at all. - THEY LAUGH
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- So you're not convinced by those? - No.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05- Should we move on?- Yes. - Thank you.- OK.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08'Oh, Irene, you are a hard one to impress.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12'What you looking at, guys? A radiator grill?'
0:05:12 > 0:05:17- What sort of date would that be? - Er, 1959.
0:05:17 > 0:05:22- 1959. Interesting thing, isn't it? - Interesting thing.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25A car collector would probably put it on the wall
0:05:25 > 0:05:29- like a paintings collector would put a picture on the wall.- Memorabilia.
0:05:29 > 0:05:35Yes. And either you put it on the wall or you put it on your Jag.
0:05:35 > 0:05:40It's aluminium. Just missing a radiator cap here.
0:05:40 > 0:05:45But nice grill. And the aluminium is in pretty good order.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- Slight damage on the other side. - Slight damage here.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53- Yeah.- Where's that? Yeah. So what we need is a panel-beater.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57- Is there a panel-beater in the town? - How much is it?
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- Go on, what's the...- 10.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02- £10.- What do you think?
0:06:02 > 0:06:06- I think that's... - I think, for £10...- It's worth a go.
0:06:06 > 0:06:11- Would you take 8?- I will.- You will? Oh, that's lovely. That'd be great.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- Shall we do that?- Fantastic. - First purchase out of the way.
0:06:14 > 0:06:19'Are you on the right show? This isn't Top Gear, you know?
0:06:19 > 0:06:23'Let's hope Mark's team are on the right road, though.'
0:06:23 > 0:06:28- David. Where's David? Oh, he's off. - He's looking at something in that cabinet over there.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30What's he found?
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- David?- Yes.- I thought we were supposed to be on the same team.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- What have you found? - What has he found?
0:06:37 > 0:06:42- It's just an amethyst and it's your birth stone.- Oh, right. - Very pretty, isn't it?- It is.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46'Oh, stop messing around and start buying bargains!'
0:06:48 > 0:06:51It's Crown Derby. My nan used to have one of those.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Crown Derby is a very popular factory, isn't it?
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- There's a little miniature vase there, which is quite pretty. - Are people still collecting them?
0:06:58 > 0:07:02It still is collectable, and the Imari pattern is quite popular.
0:07:02 > 0:07:08I mean, this one is marked up at 48. Crown Derby circa 1907, which is about right from the mark.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- Is it perfect?- The thing is... - DOG BARKS
0:07:11 > 0:07:15- Oh, hello.- We didn't bring our dog. - I think that must be the Blue Team.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19- THEY LAUGH - Fighting already.- Oh, you are cruel.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- Do you like it?- Yes. - It's pretty, isn't it?
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- It is nice.- It's lovely, but we need to get it a lot cheaper.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27She's straight in there, isn't she?
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- We've got our work cut out.- I know.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34I think, if I was putting that in for sale, it is quite a decorative example,
0:07:34 > 0:07:39I would've thought you'd be looking at maybe an estimate of £30 to £50.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- Right.- So 48 is a bit in the middle.
0:07:42 > 0:07:47And it depends how the dealer is about it. Is this your stall, sir?
0:07:47 > 0:07:52- What's your best price on that? - What's on it?- 48.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- The very best would be 40.- 40?
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- 35?- No. It's got to be 40.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00I think, at £40, it's not a bad price.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04- Do you like it?- Yes, I do. - We'll go for that.- Are you sure?
0:08:04 > 0:08:09- Nan used to collect Crown Derby and it reminds me of her.- So there's a connection. Shall we give it a bash?
0:08:09 > 0:08:15- OK.- Done. That's our first purchase. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:08:15 > 0:08:20'Don't bash it too hard. Even Irene's satisfied.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24'Now, come on, you lot, let's find an antique, shall we?'
0:08:26 > 0:08:31- Hey, what's this? - What's that?- Is it a vase?
0:08:31 > 0:08:35- We've all heard about the Ming vases, haven't we?- We have.
0:08:35 > 0:08:40- This is a Ming vase.- Is it?- Yeah. So this was made between 1368 and 1644,
0:08:40 > 0:08:44which was the Ming Dynasty. Many emperors ruled in the Ming Dynasty
0:08:44 > 0:08:49- and this one is towards the end of that period.- Goodness me.
0:08:49 > 0:08:54Really, really old. It's a typical what we call provincial Ming style.
0:08:54 > 0:09:00- Thousands were made, so every Ming vase isn't necessarily a valuable vase.- No.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- But 55.- 55?
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- Is that a good price or not? - It's something we could consider.
0:09:06 > 0:09:12I quite like it. I like that it's got a lot of age to it. Interested to know how much we can get it for.
0:09:12 > 0:09:17I don't think it's a million-pound vase, but it's interesting and it might be worth it just for that,
0:09:17 > 0:09:22- the first Ming vase on Bargain Hunt. What do you think?- Yeah.- Shall we investigate?- Ask the stall holder.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24- Excuse me.- Yes?
0:09:24 > 0:09:29Hi. We're pretty interested in this Ming vase.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32What's the best you can do on it?
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Erm, I could do 45 on that.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Would you take 40 for it?
0:09:37 > 0:09:39- Erm...- Please?
0:09:39 > 0:09:43I'd be struggling a little at 40. Erm, 42.
0:09:43 > 0:09:48- Yeah.- Shall we go for it? - Yeah, we'll go for that. - Thank you very much.- OK.- Thank you.
0:09:48 > 0:09:53'Ming-tastic! That's two down for the Blues.'
0:09:53 > 0:09:55OK, so we're 19 minutes in
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- and we've got £250 left.- Whey!
0:09:58 > 0:10:02So we could go anywhere and see anything. The world is our oyster.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- Yes. We've done really well. - We've done very well.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09'Well done! But let's not get smug just yet, eh?'
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- Same type of design, I suppose. - Looks a bit drab, doesn't it?
0:10:12 > 0:10:14I wouldn't say...
0:10:14 > 0:10:18I think you need to work on your customer relation skills, Irene.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20A bit drab. I don't think I would call it drab.
0:10:20 > 0:10:25- I would call it exciting, cos it's very decorative.- Sorry.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- We went to different schools. - Well... - THEY LAUGH
0:10:30 > 0:10:33'Bet you were mostly in detention!'
0:10:33 > 0:10:37- That's different, isn't it? - Yes.- Nice bit of glass.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41- It's a bit different, isn't it? £18. - £18.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44I think we're probably going to have to spend a little bit more than that.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48- We're not spending enough money. - Shall we think about it?- Yeah.
0:10:48 > 0:10:53- He won't be very happy.- If we're down to the wire, we could come back and have a look at it again.- Yes. OK.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57'No, he's not happy! We give you people 300 smackers
0:10:57 > 0:11:00'and you go and spend peanuts!
0:11:00 > 0:11:02'Hello.'
0:11:02 > 0:11:06How about this for the ultimate in arrogant plaques?
0:11:06 > 0:11:09"People who think they know it all
0:11:09 > 0:11:13"are especially annoying to those of us that do."
0:11:13 > 0:11:19- HE LAUGHS - What a terrible thing to have engraved on a brass plaque.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22But look at the quality of this engraving.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26We have very formal, gothic script
0:11:26 > 0:11:28inscribed into the solid brass plate
0:11:28 > 0:11:31and then, to make it stand out,
0:11:31 > 0:11:36there's been some black enamel baked into the engraved out surface
0:11:36 > 0:11:39so that you can read it really, really clearly.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43And I don't know whether you've had any engraving done recently,
0:11:43 > 0:11:46but it is incredibly expensive.
0:11:46 > 0:11:51Today, to have engraved in brass or silver this quality of script
0:11:51 > 0:11:57would cost you, I promise you, between £20 and £30 per letter.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Add up the number of letters on this plaque,
0:11:59 > 0:12:05there's between £1,500 and £2,000 worth of engraving on this individual piece,
0:12:05 > 0:12:07which is clearly bonkers.
0:12:07 > 0:12:13All I can say is that when this engraving was done in the 1860s to 1880s,
0:12:13 > 0:12:15engraving must have been much cheaper.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18The asking price is £65.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20What might it make
0:12:20 > 0:12:23to a truly arrogant fellow
0:12:23 > 0:12:25who believed in the motto?
0:12:26 > 0:12:28He could pay anything.
0:12:30 > 0:12:35'Now, back to business, and those Reds have some catching up to do.'
0:12:35 > 0:12:40It's great fun, isn't it? You've got the servers, as well. Let's have a look. It is...
0:12:40 > 0:12:42- Is it modern? - No, no, it's not modern.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46This will probably be around about 1900 or so.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50- Does it speak to you? - It says, "I'm hideous."
0:12:50 > 0:12:54Does it? Hideous sometimes can be quite good. What do you think, David?
0:12:54 > 0:12:58- It's quite nice. I think it's unusual.- You could use it for a seafood salad.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- That's true, yeah.- Prawn cocktail. - It's very quirky.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05- Is it something you want to have a negotiation on? - We'll see what the price is.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- Where's the dealer? Hello.- Hello.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12Come and join the party. Now, they quite like this,
0:13:12 > 0:13:17- but what's the very best price you'll do on it?- 65.- 65.
0:13:17 > 0:13:24If we were putting that into auction, I would expect them to estimate it at £40 to £60.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28- So the 65 is the upper end of that estimate. - And we won't make a profit.
0:13:28 > 0:13:34We don't want to drive you down too much, but if we made you a cheeky offer of £40,
0:13:34 > 0:13:36- would that be any good? - No, it wouldn't, I'm afraid.
0:13:36 > 0:13:41- Well, I tried, didn't I? I did try. - I'll do it for 50 for you.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- What do you think? - I think that's a good price.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47£50 is worth a try, I think. I think the dealer's being very fair.
0:13:47 > 0:13:52- I think you're being very fair indeed. - And charming. Thank you very much.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55'It was a pincer movement from the Reds.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58'Another one for the pot. Yummy!'
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- Is this electro-plated?- Yes, it is.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- OK, I'll pick it up. - What does that mean?
0:14:04 > 0:14:09Electroplated means that it's, at some point, been dipped in a silver solution
0:14:09 > 0:14:13with potassium cyanide and an electric current run through it
0:14:13 > 0:14:17and that combination sticks the silver to the base metal,
0:14:17 > 0:14:21so it's a base metal core which has been plated.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- It's actually a stunning object. - It is very nice.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- What's your best price?- It's 350.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31- Ooh. 250 we've got left, haven't we? - But we can't spend all of that.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35And we can't spend all of that cos we need to leave Jeremy some money.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- Yeah.- Would you take 200 for it?
0:14:38 > 0:14:45No, I'm sorry. Actually, at 350, it's quite close to the bone.
0:14:45 > 0:14:50See, the best we could do is 240 and leave me a tenner for the bonus buy.
0:14:50 > 0:14:55I mean, I will consult my friend, but I think the answer's likely to be no.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59Please consult him, and say pretty please.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01- I think 350 is too much.- Yes.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05But 240, I think you're in there.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07- Sorry, we can't. - No? Oh, well, never mind.
0:15:07 > 0:15:12- Thanks for trying.- We gave it a go. - We did.- Thank you very much. - We'll keep looking.
0:15:12 > 0:15:17'Ha! Was that attempted haggling or attempted mugging?'
0:15:17 > 0:15:20I'm disappointed at that because it was really nice.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24- It was a very nice object.- It's nice to buy something that you like.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28- It makes me want to go for something big, showy and impressive. - Yes, it does.
0:15:29 > 0:15:35- Anything grabbing you there? - Not a lot, no. I want something frightfully expensive.
0:15:35 > 0:15:41You've got a lot of money left. I think you need to get something for 100 or more, don't you think?
0:15:41 > 0:15:46- Definitely.- Because we've got a little budget.- Yep, we have.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- It's very unusual for us, you know? - I know.- Especially for me.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52'So, both teams want to spend big,
0:15:52 > 0:15:55'but can they find anything grand enough?'
0:15:55 > 0:15:58- How much do you think? - We've got 150 on it.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02- 150.- Too much.- It's a bit top-side for us, isn't it?
0:16:02 > 0:16:05We were looking at more like 50. HE LAUGHS
0:16:05 > 0:16:08- Pick me up tomorrow. - We need to make a profit.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12'They're at it again. The dealers will be running for the hills.'
0:16:16 > 0:16:20- Here's an unusual item, a monocular. - I like the christening cup.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24- Sheffield.- Sheffield, 1902.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26- How much is it? - It looks a bit tinny to me.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31- Gosh, she's difficult to satisfy, this woman, David.- Yes.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- Sorry. - Don't worry, you say what you mean.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40'I don't think that's a problem for Irene, Mark.'
0:16:40 > 0:16:45What we could try and do, because we both like that candelabra, don't we?
0:16:45 > 0:16:49- Yeah.- I really like it.- We all like it and if we could get it for 240,
0:16:49 > 0:16:54it would be really good at auction. I think he's probably going to stick to his guns,
0:16:54 > 0:16:57but it might just be worth giving it one last-ditch attempt,
0:16:57 > 0:17:00and then we've got five or eight minutes left
0:17:00 > 0:17:04- to get the last one.- All right. - Shall we try that?- Yep.
0:17:04 > 0:17:09'They're having another go at the candelabra. I can't watch!'
0:17:09 > 0:17:14We've come back again, just in case there was any chance that you've changed your mind
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- and had a talk while we've been gone. - We'd be taking a small loss on it.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22- I think we're definitely no. - Definitely no?- 240 cash, right now.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25I can't. I paid more than that for it.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28And I don't need to sell it, because it's such a strong thing.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32- The whole point of this is to try and make some money.- I know!
0:17:32 > 0:17:37- All right.- But thank you, anyway. - Never mind. Thank you.- Bye, then.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39We need to speed up now, don't we?
0:17:41 > 0:17:46'Too right you do, Mel! The opposition are homing in on their last buy.'
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Shall we have a little look at that?
0:17:49 > 0:17:51It's a Chippendale-style table.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55You saw the bon-bon dish just now with the shell.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59This is a little silver table. So the style of that table is Chippendale.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02You've even got the little claw at the end.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06- And it's actually quite a pretty little thing. What do you think? - It is nice.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08- Quite charming.- It is quite pretty.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12- What sort of money would we be talking about on that? - 165. I can do it for 150.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16- It's a charming little piece. - It's a charming little piece.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19I think, if we estimated it at auction,
0:18:19 > 0:18:22we're much nearer than we were with the other piece.
0:18:22 > 0:18:27- Do you think so?- I think they would probably estimate it at 100 to 150.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29- 140?- I'll do it for 145.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32It's a good price. It's a nice little thing.
0:18:32 > 0:18:37- It's a nice quality object and we did want to get something quality. - Just like what we are.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- Exactly, just like what we are. - Like what we are.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- From a good quality dealer. - Of course we are!
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Oh, I can feel the love.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- A big love-in. - SHE LAUGHS
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- He's not going to budge. What do you think?- 145.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55- 145, OK.- OK?- Yeah.- Thank you very much.- Thank you very much indeed.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57- Thank you, sir.- Thank you.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01'That's three for the Reds with a few minutes to spare.'
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Sometimes things look nice and then, as you get closer to them...
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- Yeah, they don't. - We need to be careful with our time.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- Yeah.- I'm starting to worry now.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16'Too right.'
0:19:17 > 0:19:20That's nice with the barometer on it.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22- We need to make a decision, don't we? - We do.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25If we could get something off this,
0:19:25 > 0:19:31- shall we see whether this is a possible? - Yep.- Yes.- Shall we ask the dealer?
0:19:32 > 0:19:36- It's heavier than it looks. - There we are. Right.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40- It's a nice case, nice carving.- Yep.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44- Nice clock with a barometer. - Yep.- You know what it is.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- What's your best? - What have we got on it?
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- 120.- 20 quid. - THEY LAUGH
0:19:50 > 0:19:55- You've moved the labels across, haven't you? I know what you're like.- 140.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59- And you want to give me... - £80, we want to give you for it.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02- Please.- You can't do that!
0:20:02 > 0:20:04I can do it for £100.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06- Yeah?- Which is a very good deal.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09- Can you not meet us in the middle at 90?- No.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11- I can meet you in the middle at 110. - Oh!
0:20:11 > 0:20:15'A taste of her own medicine. Mel, you've met your match.'
0:20:15 > 0:20:19- £100 is a very good price. 100? - Jeremy, what do you think?
0:20:19 > 0:20:21- I think we go for it. - Yep, we'll go for it.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23- Deal?- It is a deal.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26- Melanie, good luck. And you, Ken. - Thank you very much.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28I always support the Blues.
0:20:28 > 0:20:33'They're done, thank heavens. I couldn't take much more of that.'
0:20:33 > 0:20:35That's it! Time's up.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39The honeymoon's over. Let's check out what the Reds bought, eh?
0:20:40 > 0:20:45'Irene's granny would be proud of the Imari pattern vase for £40.
0:20:45 > 0:20:50'Will the £50 lobster salad bowl pinch a profit?
0:20:50 > 0:20:55'And the silver bon-bon dish was all sweetness and light at £145.'
0:20:55 > 0:21:00Well, that's exciting, isn't it? Sorry to interrupt. I mean, you had plenty of time at the end there.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04- 15 minutes I think we had left.- Yeah, but you've got an eye for quality.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07- I believe so.- Yeah. - Course he has, he picked me.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10And you are in lobster red.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13ALL: Ohh! THEY LAUGH
0:21:13 > 0:21:17- Not that I want to remind you too much about that. - It wasn't my choice.
0:21:17 > 0:21:22- Which is your favourite piece? - I love the silver bon-bon dish. - OK, Irene, that's great.
0:21:22 > 0:21:27- And, David, which is your favourite? - I think I'm going to go for the lobster pot.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- You're bound to.- Just to annoy me. - THEY LAUGH
0:21:30 > 0:21:33- How much did you spend overall? - £235.
0:21:33 > 0:21:39That is a magnificent amount of money. £65, please, of leftover lolly coming back.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42A lot of coins there. There we go, £65.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Try not to drop the lot. There we go, Mark Stacey.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50No better person to have all that dosh than Mark Stacey.
0:21:50 > 0:21:55Thanks, Tim, and I think I've just got the right item in mind for them.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- Have you?- Hm. The mind boggles.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02- Coy! Anyway, good luck with that. - Thank you very much.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Why don't we remind ourselves what the Blue Team bought?
0:22:06 > 0:22:10'Will the grill be a work of art or a spare part at the auction?
0:22:12 > 0:22:17'£42 got them some serious history with the Ming Dynasty vase.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21'Under pressure, they bought the oak clock and barometer set for £100.'
0:22:22 > 0:22:25- Was that a good shop? - It was a good shop.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27- Very good. - How much did you spend overall?
0:22:27 > 0:22:29- £150.- 150?- Yes.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32- That's exactly middle for diddle, isn't it?- It is.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35That's jolly nice. Which is your favourite piece?
0:22:35 > 0:22:40- My favourite piece is the clock. - Is it?- Yes?- And which piece will bring the biggest profit?
0:22:40 > 0:22:44- The car grill.- I think the vase will make slightly more than the grill.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Well, at least you're very up and optimistic.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51I mean, how can you be otherwise with an expert like Jeremy?
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Have you got £150? £150, there you go.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58- £150.- Going to get a nice T-bone? - Another good night out.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01- THEY LAUGH - Excellent. Good luck with that.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Anyway, very good luck, all right? We're heading off to divine Droitwich.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11'From the 1700s to the 1960s,
0:23:11 > 0:23:15'Hanbury Hall was owned by the Vernon family.
0:23:16 > 0:23:21'In 1977, the National Trust decided to open the hall to the public.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24'The only problem was, it was more or less empty.
0:23:26 > 0:23:31'So they filled it with art and antiques, breathing life back into the house.
0:23:31 > 0:23:36'Some things they had to buy, but some were donated by generous collectors.'
0:23:39 > 0:23:42I guess it was the Robert S Watney bequest,
0:23:42 > 0:23:46a collection of furniture and ceramics,
0:23:46 > 0:23:51that most enriched the collections here at Hanbury Hall.
0:23:51 > 0:23:58The bequest included this pair of very nice late-18th century mahogany bookcases
0:23:58 > 0:24:00together with their contents,
0:24:00 > 0:24:04contents which amount to some 220 pieces
0:24:04 > 0:24:06of largely 18th-century porcelain.
0:24:06 > 0:24:11Now, it's always difficult when making a selection from a collection like Watney's
0:24:11 > 0:24:16but he was particularly keen on the Chelsea Derby period.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20That's between about 1769 and 1784,
0:24:20 > 0:24:26when the two factories came together as a result of William Duesbury, from Derby,
0:24:26 > 0:24:29buying out the Chelsea works.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33And they were particularly renowned for their studies of figures.
0:24:33 > 0:24:38Here is a good example of an Arcadian agriculturalist.
0:24:38 > 0:24:43This is a farming girl going off to market,
0:24:43 > 0:24:49except she doesn't look like any farming girl would've looked around 1770.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53She's far too grand and far too healthy-looking, I might say.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57But the modelling of the porcelain is exquisite.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01She's going off to market with a basket of eggs,
0:25:01 > 0:25:05each egg individually picked out in porcelain.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Her companion figure, perhaps her husband,
0:25:08 > 0:25:10is similarly smartly dressed.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13He's going to market with a basket of peaches
0:25:13 > 0:25:16and he's got a wee lamb under his arm.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Watney didn't just go for Chelsea Derby,
0:25:19 > 0:25:22he was not averse, also, to collecting Worcester,
0:25:22 > 0:25:27and this plain, relatively contemporary-looking mug,
0:25:27 > 0:25:29dating from around 1760,
0:25:29 > 0:25:32looks as if it's been delicately painted,
0:25:32 > 0:25:35but actually, this is an early transfer print.
0:25:35 > 0:25:41The delicious technique where the ink design is printed on a piece of tissue paper
0:25:41 > 0:25:44and then wrapped around the mug and peeled back
0:25:44 > 0:25:49to reveal something that looks as if it's been exquisitely done by hand
0:25:49 > 0:25:51but, in fact, is semi-mechanical.
0:25:51 > 0:25:56Not all the ceramics on show at Hanbury come from the Watney collection, though.
0:25:56 > 0:26:01This is another bequest, but I wanted to show it to you because, unbelievably,
0:26:01 > 0:26:09it, too, comes from Worcester and it dates from the same period, Dr Wall period, around 1760,
0:26:09 > 0:26:12as the mug, and you can hardly believe that in 1760,
0:26:12 > 0:26:16the same factory was producing such a variety of wares.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19This thing is a sweet meat stand
0:26:19 > 0:26:22and it would've stood in the middle of your supper table.
0:26:22 > 0:26:28What I really like is all this shell work underneath the main shell dishes. Look at that.
0:26:28 > 0:26:33There must be, literally, hundreds of individual porcelain shells
0:26:33 > 0:26:35that have been coloured and applied
0:26:35 > 0:26:39along with rockwork and pieces of coral.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41And the whole thing is topped off
0:26:41 > 0:26:45in a typically mad, mid-18th century English way
0:26:45 > 0:26:48with a cormorant standing above,
0:26:48 > 0:26:52trying to decide what he's going to have a peck at next.
0:26:52 > 0:26:59Of course, the big question today is, what are our teams about to have a peck at over at the auction?
0:27:08 > 0:27:12Well, it's lovely to be at Peter Wilson's Auction House in Nantwich
0:27:12 > 0:27:16- with the proprietor, Robert Stones. Morning, Robert.- Good morning, Tim.
0:27:16 > 0:27:21Now, first up for Irene and David is this wee Crown Derby baluster pot.
0:27:21 > 0:27:27Nice thing. The thing about these is they can be transfer-decorated then over-painted by hand,
0:27:27 > 0:27:31and this one's all hand-painted and it's got green in the palette, which is a bonus.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35- I quite like that.- Yeah, me, too. How much for that one?
0:27:35 > 0:27:37- £30 to £40.- Hm. £40 paid.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40- Might do a tad more, might it? - Could indeed.
0:27:40 > 0:27:45Yeah, be optimistic, eh? Next is the salad bowl,
0:27:45 > 0:27:48which has to be the salad bowl from heaven, doesn't it?
0:27:48 > 0:27:50I mean, whether you like the old lobbo or not,
0:27:50 > 0:27:57to have the terminals complete and not smashed or knocked about is fantastic.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01It is. I mean, they generally appear without those servers,
0:28:01 > 0:28:05they get missing or damaged, so it is good that it's got those.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08- How much do you think it'll bring? - £50 to £80.- Really? £50 paid.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12So that's all right. We're on the right side of the estimate.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16And lastly, this sweet little bon-bon dish.
0:28:16 > 0:28:21- You're a furniture man, you'll admire that. - Well, I like it enormously.
0:28:21 > 0:28:28It's so unusual. A super thing. Even down to the little detail on the feet of the claw and ball foot.
0:28:28 > 0:28:35- It's a nice thing.- I can see it with sugared almonds on it.- I think it'll look great.- Yes. Or nuts.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37- How much?- £80 to £120. - They paid £145.
0:28:37 > 0:28:42- Could do better. We'll see. - Stand by.- Yeah.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45In case it goes badly, let's have a look at their bonus buy.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50Irene and David, this is your moment. You spent £235.
0:28:50 > 0:28:56You gave £65 to the ever-lovely Mark. What did he spend it on?
0:28:56 > 0:28:58Oh, lovely Moorcroft!
0:28:58 > 0:29:01Well, we talked about Moorcroft but we couldn't find any.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05And I found this outside and I thought I simply must give it a chance.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08It's Columbine pattern. It's not the earliest of Moorcroft
0:29:08 > 0:29:13but it is a nice baluster-shaped vase with a nice decoration
0:29:13 > 0:29:16and I thought it might appeal to you.
0:29:16 > 0:29:20- Lovely. Well done. - It's gorgeous, that.- Yes.
0:29:20 > 0:29:25- £50.- Lovely. - Right. OK, that's quite good.- What do you think it'll make, if anything?
0:29:25 > 0:29:27Well, if anything! That's a good point!
0:29:27 > 0:29:31- David!- Always the optimist.- I think it's a little bit borderline,
0:29:31 > 0:29:36but Moorcroft can fly in general sales, so it might make £10 or £15 on a good day.
0:29:36 > 0:29:42- Right.- That's lovely, that. - Thank you.- I'm quite impressed. - Mark Stacey, enigmatic to the end.
0:29:42 > 0:29:49Anyway, you don't pick it now, you choose if you want to take it after the sale of your first three items.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52But right now, let's find out from the auctioneer what he thinks.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54THEY LAUGH
0:29:54 > 0:29:58There you go, staple fare of the auctioneers.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02Yeah, well, we do like Moorcroft in our sale rooms here in Nantwich,
0:30:02 > 0:30:06but, I'm afraid to say, green is not a great colour in terms of Moorcroft.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10We prefer to see a different colour. And if you look at the base of this,
0:30:10 > 0:30:13you can see there's a manufacturer's fault here.
0:30:13 > 0:30:17You can see it's not quite round and it's been glazed over,
0:30:17 > 0:30:23so it's got through the testers, but it's not very good when you look at it like that.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25Would that be a second, then?
0:30:25 > 0:30:30It's not a second, because we can't see any marks on there that suggest it's a second,
0:30:30 > 0:30:32but it's definitely got a factory fault there,
0:30:32 > 0:30:35so a collector might not be that keen on it.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39- Well, how much?- £30 to £50. - £50 paid.- See how we get on.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45Wow. What a mixture! What about this grill, then?
0:30:45 > 0:30:48- Well, I'm horrified.- Are you? - HE LAUGHS
0:30:48 > 0:30:51The big problem with this is that if you got a Sovereign
0:30:51 > 0:30:55and you had a bent radiator grill on it,
0:30:55 > 0:30:57you might want to replace it with one of these,
0:30:57 > 0:31:01but this one actually is damaged anyhow, so it's a bit of a problem.
0:31:01 > 0:31:06This is the one that was removed because it was damaged and thrown away by the proud owner,
0:31:06 > 0:31:09who put a replacement on which was in good state.
0:31:09 > 0:31:14- Mm.- Yeah, I can understand why you're a bit horrified there.
0:31:14 > 0:31:18But I don't think we have to think big money here. We have to think £8.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Well, do you know, I think you're absolutely right,
0:31:20 > 0:31:23but I can't believe that we've said £30 to £40!
0:31:23 > 0:31:26- Is that what you put on it? - I think we're mad.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30You consulted with your automobilia consultant
0:31:30 > 0:31:33- and he's had a bit of a turn. - We'll see what the day brings.
0:31:33 > 0:31:39Now the complete contrast, we've got this wishy-washy little pot in front.
0:31:39 > 0:31:45A lot more interesting. Probably about 1600 dateline. So quite old.
0:31:45 > 0:31:50But, unfortunately, they did make lots of repros of these, so it's rather difficult to tell
0:31:50 > 0:31:53the difference between the two. So, there it is.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56Provincial Ming Dynasty is what we're describing it as.
0:31:56 > 0:32:01- So, a nice little pot. - How much?- £30 to £50.- £42.
0:32:01 > 0:32:06- Not a lot of money, is it? - No, it's not.- Good. And their last item is a bit wacky also.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10A combination aneroid barometer and timepiece.
0:32:10 > 0:32:131930s oak. It is unusual having the two dials in the front there.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16So we'll see how we get on with that one.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20Well, our Melanie went mad for it and they actually paid £100.
0:32:20 > 0:32:24No! Did they really? I think they were. £60 to £80.
0:32:24 > 0:32:29Well, on that basis, they're going to need their bonus buy. Let's go and have a look at it!
0:32:29 > 0:32:33So, Ken and Mel, you spent a magnificent £150.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36You gave Jeremy £150. What did you spend it on, Jeremy?
0:32:38 > 0:32:42A baby's plate. And it's by a factory called Shelley
0:32:42 > 0:32:47and this is one from the 1920s, it's the 1920s mark here.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51Just have a look at it. Do you recognise the character in the middle?
0:32:51 > 0:32:55- I know neither of you are that old, but...- It's Felix the Cat. - Felix the Cat.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57- Well done, Mel. - And in good condition.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00Yes, very good condition. How old is it?
0:33:00 > 0:33:03It's about 1920, 1925.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07- It's lasted very well, then. - Just when I was in short pants.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10- SHE LAUGHS - Who are you kidding?
0:33:10 > 0:33:13- How much did you spend?- 55.- 55.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16- Good value.- And how much do you think it'll make?
0:33:16 > 0:33:19I think we'll get our money back at least, because it's an unusual object.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22- Does it appeal to you, Ken? - Yes, a bit.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25- Not so much a boy's object, though. - No, not really.
0:33:25 > 0:33:30But I can tell Mel, here, she's really hot for it.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32- And Shelley's a good name.- It is.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35She's on the ball when it comes to this.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39- Just slightly difficult for the men to connect with the baby plates. - Yes.
0:33:39 > 0:33:44- Maybe a bit infantile. - Oh, Jeremy, that's enough of that!
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Anyway, on that silly note,
0:33:46 > 0:33:51let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about baby's baby plate, baby.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56There we go. Something else extraordinary for you to talk about, Robert.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59- Felix the Cat.- Yeah, baby.- Yeah.
0:33:59 > 0:34:05Well, Felix the Cat was very, very popular over the whole of the last century,
0:34:05 > 0:34:10bearing in mind that it was in the early 1900s he was in film at first
0:34:10 > 0:34:15- and then he was used as a test card in America for many years during the thirties.- Really?
0:34:15 > 0:34:19And then in the fifties, he was very popular for about 20 years.
0:34:19 > 0:34:24So the fact that we've got Felix the Cat on a baby's plate
0:34:24 > 0:34:28made by Shelley was probably quite commercial in its day.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32- It doesn't appeal to me, but it's a collectable, isn't it?- I think so.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35- Fair enough. How much?- £30 to £40.
0:34:35 > 0:34:39- £55 paid by Jeremy.- Well...
0:34:39 > 0:34:43- He's just a great big baby himself. - THEY LAUGH
0:34:43 > 0:34:46- Good luck, Robert.- Thanks very much.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58- So, Irene and David, have you had your breakfast?- Yes, we have.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01- Feeling strong?- Oh, definitely.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03- Full of our porridge. - Are you confident?
0:35:03 > 0:35:07I think we're confident that we're going to make the biggest loss ever.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10You think you're going to make the biggest loss? Seriously, do you?
0:35:10 > 0:35:14Well, our lobster dish is rather unusual, isn't it?
0:35:14 > 0:35:17Well, it is, but I think you'll be perfectly all right on that.
0:35:17 > 0:35:22First up is the Imari pattern Crown Derby vase and here it comes.
0:35:22 > 0:35:26Lot number 117 is the small Royal Crown Derby vase.
0:35:26 > 0:35:30- I'm so excited! - £30 to start it off, please.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33Worth that to anybody, I'd have thought. 30 straight away.
0:35:33 > 0:35:3535 anywhere now? 35 there.
0:35:35 > 0:35:3740 bidding. 45. 50.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41- You're in profit.- At 50, your bid.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43At 50, the bid's there. 55 anywhere else?
0:35:43 > 0:35:47- Last chance.- Profit's a profit. - At 50 and will be sold.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49A profit's a profit, and that is plus £10.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52That's perfectly good.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55- Now, the salad bowl. - SHE LAUGHS
0:35:55 > 0:36:00This delightful continental salad bowl with the matching servers.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03What will you say for it? £40 to start it off, please.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07- £40. A great chance... - Come on. It's very unusual.
0:36:07 > 0:36:0940 I'm bid. 45 is there now?
0:36:09 > 0:36:11- Come on.- Ooh, it's sticky.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15At 45, the bid's there. At £45. 50 is there now?
0:36:15 > 0:36:19- A couple more. - Go on! Go on!- Go for it!
0:36:19 > 0:36:2245 only. Going to be sold at 45.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25No, that's a loss. £45. Bad luck.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27- Minus £5 on that. - Less than I thought!
0:36:27 > 0:36:33Lot number 119, the silver bon-bon dish in the shape of a tripod table.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36What's it's worth to you? £80 I have. 85 anywhere?
0:36:36 > 0:36:38Come on.
0:36:38 > 0:36:4185 anywhere now? 85. 90 my bid. 95.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43100 here. And 5.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46105. 110. 115 now?
0:36:46 > 0:36:49- Oh, dear. Come on.- Oh, come on!
0:36:49 > 0:36:54- At £110. Last chance at 110. All finished and done?- Oh, rubbish!
0:36:54 > 0:36:57- 115.- Oh, yes.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59120 on commission. 125.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03Go with it. 125. Your bid at 125.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06It will be sold at 125. Last chance at 125
0:37:06 > 0:37:10125, that's minus 20. Very frustrating.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13That is minus £15 after all of that.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16What are you going to do about the Moorcroft?
0:37:16 > 0:37:19- We'll go for it.- OK. - Could be a winning score, minus 15.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23- We trust you.- Oh, dear. - We trust you, darling. You wouldn't let us down.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26Lot 123 is this piece of Moorcroft Columbine.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28I've got £30 for it on commission.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31At £30. 35 straight away. 35. 40 is there now?
0:37:31 > 0:37:3440's there. 45? 45. 50 now.
0:37:34 > 0:37:3755. 60 now? 60 bid.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40- Yes.- We're in profit. - Well done, Mark.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44At £65 and will be sold. At 65 then.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47- THEY CHEER - That is plus £15
0:37:47 > 0:37:50which means you've made no profit and no loss!
0:37:50 > 0:37:53- Wiped our face! - You've wiped your face!
0:37:53 > 0:37:58- That's what we wanted! - Nothing. You've got nothing. Absolutely nothing.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01After all this effort. Isn't that just the jolliest thing?
0:38:01 > 0:38:06- Yes, it is.- Absolutely fabulous. - You might have a winning score having got nothing.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09- THEY LAUGH - That's right.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26- Ken and Mel, have you been talking to the Reds?- Nope.- Nope.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30- Not at all. You don't know how badly or well they've done?- No.- Brilliant.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33First up is the Jaguar car grill and here it comes.
0:38:33 > 0:38:37133, ladies and gentlemen, is the Jaguar grill. There we are.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40£10 to start it. At 10 anywhere now do I hear? 5.

0:38:43 > 0:38:46- HE LAUGHS - £5 I'm bid. At 5.
0:38:46 > 0:38:4910 is there now? Is that... 6?
0:38:49 > 0:38:53- LAUGHTER - 6? 6.

0:39:26 > 0:39:2919? We're waiting. 19. Fill it up.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32£20. 21.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35This is an auctioneer working for his money.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38- LAUGHTER - In the room at £20 and will be sold.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40At £20 only. Going to be sold, then.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42- £20! Well done, team! - APPLAUSE
0:39:42 > 0:39:45£20 and a round of applause. How sweet.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Anyway, you're plus £12 on that. Great.
0:39:47 > 0:39:51OK, 134, ladies and gentlemen, is this lovely provincial Ming Dynasty
0:39:51 > 0:39:54blue and white vase.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57Quite old. At £20 anywhere now do I here? At £20.
0:39:57 > 0:39:5925 is there now? £20. 25 now do I hear?
0:39:59 > 0:40:02You get £20 for a radiator grill
0:40:02 > 0:40:07and you only get £20 for a Ming pot.
0:40:07 > 0:40:11At £20 only, then. All finished and done at 20.
0:40:11 > 0:40:17£20 is minus £22, which means you're minus £10.
0:40:17 > 0:40:24Lot number 35, this Edwardian oak clock barometer mantelpiece.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27Start me off at £50. Pardon? 55 on the internet.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30- There we go.- Ooh!- A bid at 55.
0:40:30 > 0:40:3460 now do I hear? At £55, the bid's on the internet.
0:40:34 > 0:40:39- 60 anywhere now?- Uh-oh.- Oh, no.- On the internet at £55, will be sold.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42At £55. Is it all quiet and done?
0:40:42 > 0:40:46That's minus £45, which overall means you're minus £55.
0:40:46 > 0:40:50I mean, it started off so well with the grill.
0:40:50 > 0:40:55Listen, it's not over. What are you going to do about Felix the Cat and the baby plate?
0:40:55 > 0:40:58- I think we're going to go for it. - Yep.- Excellent.
0:40:58 > 0:41:03139 is the Shelley baby's plate, Felix the Cat. £20 to start it off.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05£20 anywhere now. 20 straight away. At £20.
0:41:05 > 0:41:0725. 30 now. 30 bid.

0:41:10 > 0:41:14£40. It's going to be sold at £40. Are we happy at £40?
0:41:14 > 0:41:1845, fresh bidder. 50 I'm bid. 55 now? 55, can I tempt you?
0:41:18 > 0:41:22- Go on.- Go on.- Come on. - £50 only, then.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25At £50 only. At 50.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27£50. Back luck, J. £50.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30- It's just not your day, is it? - No.- Minus £5 on that.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33That is minus 60 overall. But I tell you one thing,
0:41:33 > 0:41:36- don't tell the Reds a thing. - We won't.- All right.
0:41:51 > 0:41:57Well, we've had a great show. Look at them, smiling like Cheshire cheeses all round!
0:41:57 > 0:42:00- After all, we are in Cheshire, why not?- Why not?
0:42:00 > 0:42:03Anyway, you have no idea how each other have got on.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07- No.- No idea.- Then it is my sad duty to reveal to the runners-up
0:42:07 > 0:42:10- that they are the runners-up and they are the Blues.- ALL: Ohh.
0:42:10 > 0:42:14With a mega, mega losing score of £60,
0:42:14 > 0:42:18- minus 60, which is not a very happy number, really, is it?- No.
0:42:18 > 0:42:22So we're not going to dwell on that. But let's revel in the fact that
0:42:22 > 0:42:26the Daimler car grill made a profit of £12.
0:42:26 > 0:42:30- Have you had a nice time?- A great time.- Was it good, Ken?- Lovely.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34We've loved having you on the show. You've been real sports. Thank you very much.
0:42:34 > 0:42:41- But the victors today, who've won by making absolutely nothing... - THEY LAUGH
0:42:41 > 0:42:43Which is pretty good, isn't it?
0:42:43 > 0:42:49I can count up the number of occasions when a team have finished up with no loss and no profit,
0:42:49 > 0:42:53and this is one of those rare occurrences. I feel I should be giving you money, but I'm not.
0:42:53 > 0:42:58- But you have the honour of winning today. Congratulations. - Thank you very much.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01Great show. Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?
0:43:01 > 0:43:03ALL: Yes! THEY LAUGH
