0:00:03 > 0:00:08The Reds are taking on the Blues in a 60-minute shop-off.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11So, let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:37 > 0:00:42Kedleston Hall is the ancestral home of the Curzon family,
0:00:42 > 0:00:46all avid collectors of furniture and works of art.
0:00:46 > 0:00:51Would they find something of interest in this fair today?
0:00:51 > 0:00:52I do hope so.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56We've given our teams £300 and one hour to do just that,
0:00:56 > 0:00:59here at the Jaguar Antiques Fair.
0:01:01 > 0:01:07Coming up today - girl power! Mark Stacy gets red hot! Ooh!
0:01:07 > 0:01:11- I'm going to start stripping off. - Oof. It's all right for some.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15- I know. Wait till the jumper comes off!- No!
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Saucy!
0:01:17 > 0:01:21- Jonathan?- Yes.- Walkies! Walkies!
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Jonathan Pratt gets collared by the Blues.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Will they ever get what they really, really want?
0:01:28 > 0:01:31No. It's a bit too Victorian really.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37Well, it's Ladies Day today on Bargain Hunt.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39We've got sisters and good friends.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Let's start with the good friends, Shelley and Heidi.
0:01:42 > 0:01:48- Hello.- Lovely to see you. Shelley, you two know each other pretty well.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Yes, we do. We've been friends since primary school
0:01:52 > 0:01:57and we've worked together, been on holiday together.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- We both became mums earlier this year.- Well, congratulations!
0:02:00 > 0:02:06How do you combine being a full-time mum and with being a poetess?
0:02:06 > 0:02:08With some difficulty sometimes.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12I'm also doing a part-time PHD on Victorian dramatic monologue.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- Is it the Victorian period that really gets you going?- It is.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19I love the flowery language of the literature
0:02:19 > 0:02:22and I love the silver trinkets and novelty items.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26The great thing about Victorian objects
0:02:26 > 0:02:28is that there are lots of them about in fairs like this.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Heidi, your days are taken up looking after your children.
0:02:32 > 0:02:37My child, Molly. She's six months old now.
0:02:37 > 0:02:42- So I go back to work at the end of January.- What do you do?
0:02:42 > 0:02:43I'm a business advisor,
0:02:43 > 0:02:47but I also manage a team of advisors in Leicester.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Well, there's plenty of knowledge between you.
0:02:49 > 0:02:54- Are you feeling confident? - I think so. Quietly confident.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57And with your special affinity for Victorian things,
0:02:57 > 0:02:58you should do very well.
0:02:58 > 0:03:04Now, for the Blues, the sisters. Are you as in sync as these two friends?
0:03:04 > 0:03:08- I think so.- Links of blood are very strong.- Oh, yes.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12- Do you go out a bit together? - Yes. We do a lot together.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16- What sort of things?- Tea rooms, we like going to different tea rooms.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17Derbyshire, all round.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20What do you get up to when you're not going to tea rooms?
0:03:20 > 0:03:23I work for Slimming World.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27How does that work out? I want to lose a ton of weight, I come and see you, you sign me up?
0:03:27 > 0:03:30That's it. I give you lots of help and support.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- What do you make me give up first?- Nothing.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36- Does that mean I can keep going to tea rooms?- Yes!
0:03:36 > 0:03:39I don't...
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Carol, you're heading for a pretty special anniversary any minute.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45- Yes. Next June.- Tell us about that.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47It's our silver wedding anniversary,
0:03:47 > 0:03:5025 years, and we've decided to renew our vows in church.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54That'll be exciting. How will you get to the church?
0:03:54 > 0:03:59- We've ordered a white limo. - So have you sisters got any rules about this bargain hunting?
0:03:59 > 0:04:03- Spend little.- Spend a small amount. - But gain a lot at the end.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07What's your predictions as to how much you're going to spend?
0:04:07 > 0:04:12- I'm going to be giving you £300. - Possibly around two.- About £200.
0:04:12 > 0:04:17So not that little then. That's OK. £300 apiece. There you go, girls.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19You know the rules.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Your experts await and off you go! Very, very good luck.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24What charming teams!
0:04:27 > 0:04:30# Express yourself... #
0:04:31 > 0:04:36- There's a wooden chair with a heart. - Which one was that?
0:04:36 > 0:04:41- I think it was at this stall here. - Don't be frightened to shout out now because it's your show.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46- Don't pass anything, then say later on.- I've seen something like it before.- Do you want to show me?
0:04:46 > 0:04:50- Just over here. - Come on. After you.- Thank you.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Oh, yes. Generally referred to as milk maid stools, these.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58But they're not the best sellers. We've moved away from that fashion.
0:04:58 > 0:05:03But it is nice with the heart. It's rather romantic, but we've still got a lot of time.
0:05:03 > 0:05:08We'll keep our options open. You can always run back and I'll sit down!
0:05:08 > 0:05:12That's it, Mark. Start as you mean to go on.
0:05:13 > 0:05:18It's miniature. You'd never be able to stoke the fire with that though!
0:05:18 > 0:05:19But isn't it cute?
0:05:21 > 0:05:27- It's only £9.50, Jonathan. - I know, but who's going to buy it?
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Don't beat about the bush, Jonathan!
0:05:29 > 0:05:33- You haven't got any writing instruments, have you?- Writing?!
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- Something like desk stands or anything like that.- No.
0:05:36 > 0:05:43- I've got some silver.- Oh, yes.- I've got these Sheffield salt and pepper. - Oh, yes.- They're very decorative.
0:05:43 > 0:05:49Quite decorative. Do you like those? If I hand you one over, girls,
0:05:49 > 0:05:54- there's some sort of mark on the bottom.- It's Sheffield plate. - Do you want to have a look?
0:05:54 > 0:05:57They're pepperettes, I would call them. That's a pretty word.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01And the style of them, certainly, is Georgian. Do you like those?
0:06:01 > 0:06:07- I think they're quite pretty.- How much are they?- £45.- Ooh! £45.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- They are Sheffield plate. - Sheffield plate.- Collectors.
0:06:10 > 0:06:16- What's the best you could do? - Well, seeing as it's you, ladies, I'll take £35.
0:06:16 > 0:06:21- What do you think, Mark?- Well, it's not going to appeal to everyone.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25But there will be some people who appreciate that as a pair.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29- They've got a nice Georgian look to them.- Yes.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32If I was being terribly mean, in a general sale in Derby,
0:06:32 > 0:06:35they'd probably estimate them at £20-30.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Is that the very lowest, 35? Could we go to 25?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40I couldn't go to 25,
0:06:40 > 0:06:44but I may be able to stretch just at the very lowest, £30.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48- That's not bad, really. - I do like them.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52- It's only 30 quid.- It's not much, is it?- Let's go for it.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Yes? Happy with those? Your eyes lit up a bit when you saw them.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- I like them.- I did see a twinkle there. We'll have them.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03- OK, that's great. I'll wrap those for you.- Thank you very much indeed.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Your first purchase in less than ten minutes. Well done.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08We can't rest on our laurels.
0:07:08 > 0:07:14The Red team have seasoned their shopping basket with a Georgian twin set.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18But how about our sisters? Are you on a roll too?
0:07:18 > 0:07:23- No.- It's a bit too Victorian, really, for tastes today.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24Look out, cute alert!
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Shall we try and buy him? What do you think he'd make at auction?
0:07:32 > 0:07:36- He's got to make a profit! - He's got to make a profit, whatever we pay for him!
0:07:36 > 0:07:41Aah! Right, got that out of the way, back to the antiques.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Oh, dear.
0:07:43 > 0:07:48- It's Medina.- That's nice. - It is nice, that.- The shape is like a bottle and with...
0:07:48 > 0:07:53OK, Medina is Maltese, that's a Maltese Cross on it. So it sort of gives it away a bit.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55£38, it says on the bottom and it is signed.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Would you put that on your mantelpiece?
0:07:59 > 0:08:04- The colour of it's pretty smart. - Yeah. I'd put that in a window.
0:08:04 > 0:08:09- Shows a bit of the light going through it.- I quite like that. - And that quirky one at the back.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13It's quite cute, isn't it? I mean, it's only £20.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16And it's a nice little bit of modern glass.
0:08:16 > 0:08:22What do you think? That green one is very unusual.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26- Yes. - The label says possibly Kosta Boda.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Kosta Boda's Scandinavian and they did sign most things.
0:08:29 > 0:08:34It's quite a nice colour. Something's going on inside though.
0:08:35 > 0:08:41- Yes, it's like it's all marked. - I don't like it that much. No. But that's kind of fun.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46I'll think we'll try and see what the best deal is we can get for it.
0:08:52 > 0:08:57I tell you what, you must be sweating in those fleeces.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- It's getting hot, very hot. - I'm going to start stripping off. Far too hot.
0:09:01 > 0:09:08- It's all right for some!- I know. Wait until the jumper comes off.- No!
0:09:08 > 0:09:11# You can leave your hat on... #
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- 28.- 28.- 28.- Yes.- Fantastic.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- Do you want to buy it?- Yes, please.
0:09:15 > 0:09:20- Wonderful.- Thank you.- Woo!- I quite like this one as well, actually!
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Put it down, Jonathan.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26# Sisters are doing it for themselves... #
0:09:26 > 0:09:32£28 for a clearly beautiful first item(!)
0:09:32 > 0:09:36We're doing very well. Less than ten minutes and we've spent 30 quid.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40So 270 and quite a lot of time, but let's not get carried away
0:09:40 > 0:09:44because I warn you now, the time disappears very quickly.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53They say that tree hugging is very therapeutic.
0:09:53 > 0:09:58But that assumes that you're disturbed in the first place.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02The big question is, are you going to be disturbed by this instrument?
0:10:02 > 0:10:05On the face of it, it's not very impressive.
0:10:05 > 0:10:10Rather a crude handle which supports a bar of flat iron
0:10:10 > 0:10:16that frankly is pretty rusty and on the end, you've got two calliper-like arms.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20The only indication that this thing is of any quality at all
0:10:20 > 0:10:26is this angled piece, which is made of brass and has been beautifully crafted.
0:10:26 > 0:10:31It regulates the position of the lower arm, just like a calliper,
0:10:31 > 0:10:35and if we turn it this way round, you can see there's a maker's mark.
0:10:35 > 0:10:41It reads "Dring and Fage, Makers, London".
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Probably dating from the middle of the 18th century,
0:10:44 > 0:10:50not a name that I know, but that can be researched and you could have fun doing that.
0:10:50 > 0:10:57These two points that open up look as if they're supposed to measure a particular distance.
0:10:57 > 0:11:03If I put the calliper ends on four inches and put my spread of fingers in between,
0:11:03 > 0:11:11I know that the distance from one end of my spread fingers to the other is 8.25 inches.
0:11:11 > 0:11:16But yet this is set at four. It quite clearly doesn't measure inches.
0:11:16 > 0:11:21What it is in fact is a dendrologist's measure.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25It will measure the girth of a tree trunk,
0:11:25 > 0:11:30not in inches but in lengths that when you apply the mathematical computation,
0:11:30 > 0:11:34you can work out how many cubic feet of wood
0:11:34 > 0:11:38there is in a given length of a tree trunk like this.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42If you were a timber merchant in the 18th century,
0:11:42 > 0:11:47which is when this thing was made, there was a lot of money in trees.
0:11:47 > 0:11:53A lot of construction took place using timber and if you owned a park like Kedleston,
0:11:53 > 0:12:00with massive trees like this, they would be worth money, all according to their volume.
0:12:00 > 0:12:06But how much volume of timber do you get out of a massive tree trunk like this?
0:12:06 > 0:12:09This gadget would help you do that calculation.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13The dealer's asking £160 for it.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17And I'm thinking about going back and giving him a hug.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23Aah! Now, teams, how are you measuring up?
0:12:23 > 0:12:29- Oh, he's ferreting again. - Jonathan?- Yes.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- Walkies! Walkies!- 'That's it. Round him up, woof woof!'
0:12:32 > 0:12:37- A pair of binoculars here.- Oh, yes. Oh, they're fun, aren't they?
0:12:37 > 0:12:41- I haven't got black rings on my eyes, have I?- "Theatre, Field".
0:12:41 > 0:12:45OK, the military ones are what people really go for.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48You've got this theatre and field, you can change on there.
0:12:48 > 0:12:55So if you were out in the field and you're dog's chasing a rabbit or something, you can switch it round.
0:12:55 > 0:13:01- Otherwise, you can put it to theatre mode to sit in the theatre.- Oh!
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Oh! Tickety-boo!
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- That's stuck.- There they are, look. - There he is, look.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10- We're in the field now.- Have a little look. See if you can get black eyes!- Exactly!
0:13:10 > 0:13:14I haven't seen that on the television for a very long time.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18- You should have done that. It would have been funny. - Anyway, do they work?
0:13:18 > 0:13:21They do work actually. OK.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- What do you think? - It's either 180 or 18!
0:13:25 > 0:13:29INAUDIBLE > There isn't. Oh, 18.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33They have got some age, you see. 244 High Holborn, London.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Sold by C Baker Opticians. They're absolutely right for binoculars...
0:13:37 > 0:13:42That's exactly what it was. This was probably covered in leather.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45They've lost a lot of their original look.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- Just see if he'll take a tenner. - Go on. You do it.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- Will you take a tenner?- 12. - Yeah, we'll take 'em.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55We're the big spenders today!
0:13:55 > 0:13:59- I said - spend small, earn big! - Yeah, we lose less.
0:13:59 > 0:14:04Another Blue budget buy, £12. Hmm, lovely.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08- Good luck, ladies.- Thank you! - Hope you beat them Reds.- We will!
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Charge them extra if they come to you!
0:14:10 > 0:14:13That's sporting, isn't it?
0:14:13 > 0:14:16I just saw this little Staffordshire figure group.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20You wanted something Victorian. This is very classically Victorian.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22This is a Staffordshire figure group
0:14:22 > 0:14:25and it's got the three figures on it.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29What I like and this tells you it's a nice early piece from 1860,
0:14:29 > 0:14:35is it's very crisply moulded and it's got all this nice original decoration, bright colours.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39- What's this for?- What do you think? - I have no idea.- Do you have any idea?
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- Is it a clock? - It's for a pocket watch.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45It's a night holder for a pocket watch.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48You'd put that on the mantelpiece or on the side of the bed
0:14:48 > 0:14:52and you'd put your pocket watch in there.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55But I love the little two birds cooing up here.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58It's very nicely decorated.
0:14:58 > 0:15:03There's a little hairline crack here, but we're looking at something which is 150 years old.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05But it is quite decorative.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09- How much is that, sir?- £45.- £45. That's not a bad price.
0:15:09 > 0:15:16I'm sure though that if we were to talk nicely to him, he might be able to tweak it down a bit.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20- Do you want to think about it?- I do like it though.- Shall we go for it?
0:15:20 > 0:15:22- Yeah.- We couldn't do it for 35, could we?
0:15:22 > 0:15:26- Split the difference - £37.50. - Shall we go for it?
0:15:26 > 0:15:32- I think that's a nice figure, £37.50!- Sounds good.- I think that sounds good. We've got a deal!
0:15:32 > 0:15:39Decision made! £37.50. And Shelley gets her piece of Victoriana.
0:15:39 > 0:15:45- We've had over half an hour now. But we've bought two objects and we've only spent...- £50.- £50.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47That's brilliant.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Hmm, he's spent £40.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52"As featured on BBC's Bargain Hunt, wow!"
0:15:52 > 0:15:56I think we've publicised that enough, don't you?
0:16:01 > 0:16:05This watch is hallmarked on the inside, it's nine carat. 160.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08It's scratched at about 140.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12GW Benson, basically, High Street, Bond Street jewellers, still going
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- but deal with a lot more antique now.- Right.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Nine carat gold, hallmarked on the posts and presumably inside on the back.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- '50s probably. - It's scratched at about 150.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25How much does the whole thing weigh, do you know, with the movement in?
0:16:25 > 0:16:30- There, look.- I know it's with the movement in... 26.7 grams.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33What would the movement be, probably about 15
0:16:33 > 0:16:36so it's probably going to be about 10 grams.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- You're saying about 16 grams? - I'm saying about 14, 16 grams.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41I don't want to lead you.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44I would say that's quite a good thing to buy because watches are,
0:16:44 > 0:16:46at the moment, selling quite well.
0:16:46 > 0:16:51I'll do it for 150... 140.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55- There we go.- 140? Yes.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59Hang on a minute, did Jonathan get you girls to part with £140?
0:16:59 > 0:17:00That's amazing.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04So sadly, we've actually finished shopping about 20 minutes early.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08- Time for a cuppa.- I like that though. I think that's a good thing.
0:17:09 > 0:17:16- Time for a cup of tea!- I'm amazed actually.- We can put our feet up.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18- What a lot of chatter.- Wonderful.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Well done, ladies. You've been absolute...
0:17:21 > 0:17:23brilliant shoppers. You weren't too...
0:17:23 > 0:17:26And the sun came out. You know what they say?
0:17:26 > 0:17:29The sun always shines on the righteous.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35I want you to find me something big, something beautiful
0:17:35 > 0:17:39and something expensive, apart from me.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Shelly, I think that's quite pretty.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46A little bit talking piece again
0:17:46 > 0:17:49but I think you need something a little bit bigger.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53Something which is going to be over £100. Thank you, sir.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00- Let's be quick.- I love that. - Yeah, move on.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03You did say big, Mark. She's doing her best.
0:18:03 > 0:18:08- What do you think of that? - Well, at auction, I suppose you'd put £80-100 on it.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- It's marked at 165. - It's a bit much.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17We're in that final stretch, all right. I'll just warn you of that.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27These ladies have got interesting bits and bobs.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Some of them are on the stall.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32- Do you know what these are? - Hairbrushes?
0:18:32 > 0:18:34- Hairbrushes.- It is, it's a ladies'... .- Dressing table.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Dressing table. You've got the little mirror.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41These are the most commercial parts of it, the mirror. This should be silver
0:18:41 > 0:18:44and I would have thought probably 1920s or something.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48- Is that right?- 1932. - 1932, that's exactly what I said.
0:18:48 > 0:18:49LAUGHTER
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Then you've got the little brush there,
0:18:52 > 0:18:54it's all embossed and engine turned.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56It's all complete in its case.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58- Its original case? - Yes, it fits perfectly, doesn't it?
0:18:58 > 0:19:02There's another set here as well which is 1925. Which is more ornate.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06- I like the look of that one. - Can you get that out for me?
0:19:06 > 0:19:10This is 1925, I think, but this is much more Victorian.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Look at the little face at the bottom, you see.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15- Really pretty.- I like that.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- And is that quite collectible? - It's just the same as the other one.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22- It's a limited market. You wouldn't use this, would you?- No.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26- On your dressing table. What is this priced at?- It was priced at 95,
0:19:26 > 0:19:30- but I'm sure we will take less than that.- They will take less than that, priced at 95.
0:19:30 > 0:19:35The fact that it's in its box, again, it's a very nice object.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38I think we must think of what we want to pay for it,
0:19:38 > 0:19:41- see if we can get it down to that price.- What's your very best price?
0:19:41 > 0:19:48- What do you think? 70, 75? 70.- You'd have to look at about 50, really,
0:19:48 > 0:19:51because then we've got a chance of a small profit, I think.
0:19:51 > 0:19:5555, could you do 55?
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Are you sure you couldn't do 50 on this?
0:19:58 > 0:20:00What do you think, can we do 50?
0:20:00 > 0:20:05- Please.- There's a kiss in it. - Is there?
0:20:05 > 0:20:07LAUGHTER
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- Will you do it then?- Thank you!
0:20:12 > 0:20:15- You happy with 50? Your choice. - Yes.
0:20:15 > 0:20:1750 quid?
0:20:17 > 0:20:22- You've done it.- We have.- With a few minutes to spare, well done.
0:20:22 > 0:20:27And you have left me with oodles of money. You've only spent £117.50.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29I'm very, very disappointed.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31- We're going to be in trouble with Tim, aren't we?- You are.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33In trouble with moi?
0:20:35 > 0:20:41- Thank you very much. That's very sweet of you.- Sealed with a kiss.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42And time's up.
0:20:44 > 0:20:50The Red team bought the Georgian pepperettes for £30.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54Shelley's Victorian wish, the Staffordshire flat-pack,
0:20:54 > 0:20:56watch not included.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59And the dressing-table set,
0:20:59 > 0:21:03there's for £50 and one little smacker from Mark.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07- We can relax a bit now, can't we? You happy with those?- Yes.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10You look like blushing brides!
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- I suppose it's nice to finish actually, isn't it?- It is.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17Have you found this shopping rather stressful?
0:21:17 > 0:21:20It's harder than you think actually.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23What's been the good bit for you, Shell?
0:21:23 > 0:21:26I quite like the little pepperettes, they're pretty.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30Found those pretty quickly as well so we felt quite pleased with ourselves.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34- And what did you spend overall? - £117.50.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38- £117.50, that's quite precise, isn't it?- Yes.- In fact, not lot of money.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41That means there's an awful lot of leftover lolly.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Who's got this terrible lot of leftover lolly including the 50p?
0:21:44 > 0:21:45There you go.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49- Looked like a rag-tag group, you'd better check it carefully. - I will.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52You could buy half the fair with that, Mark, if you don't watch out.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55- I'm thinking of a weekend away, Tim.- Are you?
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Is that an invitation or what? What a shocker.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02- Anyway, very good luck with that, Mark. Good luck, girls.- Thank you.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Why don't we check out what the Blues bought, eh?
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Judith and Carol started with a plan to buy low.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10The blue glass vase was theirs for £28.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17The clapped-out binoculars were only £12.
0:22:17 > 0:22:23They then completely changed tack, spending £140 on a gold watch.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Well, I don't know!
0:22:25 > 0:22:29- A good day's shopping.- I think so. Oh!
0:22:29 > 0:22:33Listen, you lot, you just had a tea-party or something, haven't you?
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- I mean, how Speedy Gonzales is this? - Yes.- 38 minutes.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- Marvellous, isn't it? - It's a record, surely.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Yes, it must be something like that.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44You sisters that hardly chat at all, I don't know how you do that.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48- We're ever so quiet.- Listen, you two, which is your favourite piece?
0:22:48 > 0:22:51- The binoculars.- The binoculars, definitely?- Yes.- What about you?
0:22:51 > 0:22:54- Mine's the little vase. - The little vase.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56What about you, JP, what's your favourite piece?
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Actually, I really like... she's trying to tell me.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02I really liked the binoculars because they were cheap
0:23:02 > 0:23:04and there's a nice little story about them.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- But I liked the watch. - Let's get all this into focus now.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- How much did you spend? - £180.- £180.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14That's £120 of leftover lolly, who's got the money?
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- She's older.- How lovely, £120.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19All right, off you go and very, very good luck.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Meanwhile, we're heading off to somewhere so intellectual
0:23:22 > 0:23:24it's positively challenging.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34Regularly on Bargain Hunt, we buy utilitarian items.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Cups and saucers and pots and pans and the like.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41But collecting truly decorative examples
0:23:41 > 0:23:45of those utilitarian objects can be very exciting.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49Often, the finest examples are to be found in museums.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Welcome to the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge,
0:23:57 > 0:24:02home to an extraordinary collection of the decorative arts.
0:24:02 > 0:24:07Not surprisingly, the Fitzwilliam Museum is full of ceramics.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11In fact, they have an excellent decorative arts department.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Traditionally, you wander in a museum
0:24:14 > 0:24:17down lines and lines of cabinets like this.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20What do you make of this?
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Isn't this just ridiculous?
0:24:23 > 0:24:28I've never seen such a big stoneware object in my life.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32It's called stoneware because the clay that's used
0:24:32 > 0:24:36is dense, flinty-type clay.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40The sort of clay that was being used by Doulton's to make drainpipes.
0:24:40 > 0:24:45This example comes from the celebrated Martin Brothers Pottery.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48There were three brothers who they are associated
0:24:48 > 0:24:51with the potting part of the business -
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Robert, Walter and Edwin.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55The fourth brother, Charles,
0:24:55 > 0:24:59was involved in selling the products in their retail outlet.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Robert was a qualified sculptor.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05He would have been responsible for the realistic potting
0:25:05 > 0:25:10and sculpting of an example like this.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13This owl is described as a punch bowl.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Doesn't look like any punch bowl I ever saw.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18But it was made for a particular client,
0:25:18 > 0:25:21the Bohemian Club in San Francisco in America.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25Their mascot was an owl.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29Not surprisingly, when they wanted a big, sociable punch bowl,
0:25:29 > 0:25:32they ordered it from Martin Brothers in this peculiar form.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36The first example that came out of the kiln had a firing crack
0:25:36 > 0:25:38and that's this fellow.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41You can see the big crack running down the middle.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45That's because it's such a substantial lump of clay
0:25:45 > 0:25:50that in the kiln it would have shrunk and behaved abnormally,
0:25:50 > 0:25:54and as a result, got this crack. The Martin brothers didn't give up
0:25:54 > 0:25:57and simply sculpted another one which came out perfect
0:25:57 > 0:25:59and they dispatched it to America.
0:25:59 > 0:26:04Just in time for the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco.
0:26:04 > 0:26:09The Bohemian Club building fell down crushing their example.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13What we're left with today is this cracked fellow,
0:26:13 > 0:26:15essentially a one-off.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18What the Martin brothers did in their pottery was to produce
0:26:18 > 0:26:22a range of domestic wares that could be bought by people
0:26:22 > 0:26:27who were looking for things that they could actually use in their house.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Here we've got an example of Edwin's wares.
0:26:30 > 0:26:36What we've got here is seaweed and fish all incised into the body
0:26:36 > 0:26:39of what is, after all, quite a utilitarian type of jug.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43What I love is the humour in these little marine creatures.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47When did you see a fish that looked quite like that?
0:26:47 > 0:26:50I mean, it's comic, isn't it?
0:26:50 > 0:26:53Even the squid here seem to be having fun.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57Here we've got an example of a pretty ordinary-looking vase
0:26:57 > 0:27:01but beautifully decorated, again by Edwin.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05Nearly every piece of Martin Brothers is identified and signed.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09This one, you can see the script signature here,
0:27:09 > 0:27:12London and Southall and they're usually dated.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16This one 1901 with a hyphen, five,
0:27:16 > 0:27:20to indicate it was made in May of that year.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24But by far the most valuable and collectible
0:27:24 > 0:27:28of the Martin Brothers productions today are these little fellows.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Don't you think this is a gas?
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Just look at the expression on that bird's face.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37Commonly called owls, they're not of course owls at all.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41You've never seen an owl with a beaker like that.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44The heads are detachable typically and what I like about them
0:27:44 > 0:27:48is that you can revolve them like this.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52With the revolution, their expression seems to change.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55You could have a conversation with one if you wanted to.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Morning.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Morning.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01The big question today is, of course,
0:28:01 > 0:28:04is it going to be a hoot over at the auction?
0:28:14 > 0:28:16- Good morning, Annabel.- Good morning.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20- How lovely to be at Bamford's auction house.- Absolutely, yes.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Today, for Shelley and Heidi, their first item
0:28:23 > 0:28:26is the pair of pepperettes which are in Georgian style, aren't they?
0:28:26 > 0:28:28They are, yes.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31I think this one probably a little bit bent at the bottom as well.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35- Sloping a bit, isn't it? - Keeling over.- Yes. Quite nice to have on the table.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38- 20 to £30 is OK for them. - They paid 30.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41They might be lucky to make a profit on that.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43What about the Staffordshire flat back watch holder?
0:28:43 > 0:28:47I have noticed recently that Staffordshire is struggling
0:28:47 > 0:28:50especially when it's quite a common model, as this one.
0:28:50 > 0:28:51It's an OK example but overall,
0:28:51 > 0:28:55the Staffordshire market's very depressed so £30.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57£37.50 they paid.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59- That's quite a precise amount. - It is, yeah.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01Do you think 30 to 40 then?
0:29:01 > 0:29:0430 to 40, yes. Might be a little bit generous
0:29:04 > 0:29:06but definitely the lower end it should make.
0:29:06 > 0:29:11- Fine, and lastly, the silver cased dressing-table set.- Yes.
0:29:11 > 0:29:12It's in good nick, isn't it?
0:29:12 > 0:29:15It is but it hasn't got a great deal of age to it.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18- It's a copy of a Victorian one. - When do you think it was made?
0:29:18 > 0:29:20In the '60s. A 1960s hallmark on it.
0:29:20 > 0:29:24- As a reproduction of a Victorian set.- Nice set, nicely presented.
0:29:24 > 0:29:29- 40-60.- OK, £50 they paid.- That's OK.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32Actually, pretty well, they're spot-on around the estimates.
0:29:32 > 0:29:36They may not need their bonus buy, but just in case, let's go and have a look at it.
0:29:36 > 0:29:40Well, girls. You spent £117.50, which is pathetic.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44You gave £182.50's worth of leftover lolly to Mark
0:29:44 > 0:29:46which is a lot of money.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49- Did you spend a lot, Mark? - I didn't but I tried
0:29:49 > 0:29:52to get something which I know you're interested in.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54- You like writing. - I do.- This is quite unusual.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58This is a Victorian partners inkstand because you can open it both ways.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01You can open it like that if you're this side of the desk
0:30:01 > 0:30:05- but if you are the other side of the desk, you open it like that.- Wow.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08I thought that was a rather ingenious little idea
0:30:08 > 0:30:11and it's got this rather nice hobnail glass on there.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13It's about sort of 1880 to 1890, I suppose.
0:30:13 > 0:30:19- It's really quite nice quality and I paid £85 for it.- £85.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21- I think it's fantastic.- Gorgeous.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24Quite chunky, isn't it? Is it quite heavy?
0:30:24 > 0:30:26It is heavy, yes.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29- Gorgeous.- Do you think it will make a profit?- I hope so.
0:30:29 > 0:30:33I bought it with you two in mind to give you something I thought might enthuse you.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35We didn't find anything about writing.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38I would hope on a good day with a fair wind behind it,
0:30:38 > 0:30:41- I'd say 10 or £15.- OK.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44- Would you have that on your desk at home?- I would, I love it.- Yes.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48I mean, it's fun, this dual hinging arrangement, isn't it? Quite unusual.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52If you didn't have ink, I suppose you could use it as a little flower vase.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55- Yes, you could. - Put water in it.- Open it up.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58And put a romantic rose in it, perhaps.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03Yes, good. Anyway, you don't decide right now, girls.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06You decide later after the sale of your first three items,
0:31:06 > 0:31:10but for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneeress -
0:31:10 > 0:31:14it's an all ladies' day today - thinks about Mark's inkwell.
0:31:14 > 0:31:18- So, Annabel. Here we go, it's fun. - It is. I quite like this actually.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21It's well made, good quality, nice weighty thing to it.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24- Would look good on any desk, wouldn't it?- It would.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27This double hinged thing is intriguing, isn't it?
0:31:27 > 0:31:30- It's a great little thing.- You get inkwell collectors, don't you?
0:31:30 > 0:31:34We get inkwell collectors or anyone who'd like that for their desk.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36It's a good piece, isn't it?
0:31:36 > 0:31:37Yes, it is. OK, how much?
0:31:37 > 0:31:42- 50 to £70.- OK, £85 paid.- That's fine.- That's all right, isn't it?
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Who knows, it might well go and make 100.
0:31:44 > 0:31:50It would be lovely for Mark Stacey because he's invested in that. His reputation for a kick-off.
0:31:50 > 0:31:55- Judith and Carol now for the Blues. They've got the Mdina flask.- Yes.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58- Incredibly dull these bits of Mdina glass, aren't they?- They are, yes.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01They're a tourist thing, really.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03- I wouldn't rate it at all. - Me neither.
0:32:03 > 0:32:07- £15, 15-20.- They paid £28.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10They won't lose much but it's a particularly dull thing.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14Next up are these rather peculiar field glasses
0:32:14 > 0:32:17which are brassy but I don't think they started out being brassy, do you?
0:32:17 > 0:32:20No, and the condition is against them as well.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23They're a little bit ropey in places.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25- Not very attractive either, are they?- No.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29I think if they are old, they had leather in these sections.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31The leather's got worn-out,
0:32:31 > 0:32:35somebody's then attacked it with a Brillo pad and tried to shine it
0:32:35 > 0:32:37into brilliant brass and that hasn't worked.
0:32:37 > 0:32:42- No.- I truly think they are ghastly though, actually, if I'm being honest.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45- 12 to £18.- Very generous of you. They only paid £12.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48- Not worth any more. - Not worth any more.
0:32:48 > 0:32:53Lastly, Jonathan has taken them into this nine carat gold gent's wristwatch.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57The peculiar thing about wrist watches is they are by and large very popular, aren't they?
0:32:57 > 0:32:59Gentleman's are, ladies less so,
0:32:59 > 0:33:04but it's just a fairly standardised nine carat Benson watch.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06Nothing exciting about it.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08£30 to £50 we'd put on it, mainly for the gold.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Mmmm. £30-£50.
0:33:10 > 0:33:14- OK. £140.- Oh dear. Way too much.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16- Way too much.- Oh lord!
0:33:16 > 0:33:21OK, well, on that basis they are going to need their bonus buy. Let's go and have a look at it.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23- Well, girls, you spent £180. - Yes.- Yes.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25- Brave of you.- I know! SHE LAUGHS
0:33:25 > 0:33:30And £120 went to JP. What did you spend the £120 on?
0:33:30 > 0:33:33When we bough our final object, I spied out of the corner of my eye...
0:33:34 > 0:33:36..that.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39- I said you'd go for that.- I didn't know you saw me looking.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42- Oh, yes. We popped our eye on it. - Oh, there you go.
0:33:42 > 0:33:43THEY LAUGH
0:33:43 > 0:33:46- I'd say two powerful women... - THEY LAUGH
0:33:46 > 0:33:47I give up!
0:33:47 > 0:33:51Well, it's a little silver-framed sewing box or little pin cushion...
0:33:51 > 0:33:55- I was going to say a pin cushion. - Seamstress's box, whatever you like.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57The material is perhaps a little on the worn side.
0:33:57 > 0:34:03But perfectly functional. It's hallmarked for Birmingham 1913, and it's a rather neat little object.
0:34:03 > 0:34:10- What did you pay for it?- I spent the princely sum of £35.- Is that all?
0:34:10 > 0:34:11Exactly my point.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13- Is that all? - THEY LAUGH
0:34:13 > 0:34:18- What would the little key be for? - No idea, but I didn't want to take it off.- Quite sweet, in't it?
0:34:18 > 0:34:22But, with what you said, you know, "Is that all?", £35, I believe, is not a lot of money for it.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25I think it's a good object, and I think there's a profit to make.
0:34:25 > 0:34:31- Do you think it'll make £100? - I think £60-£80, I'd quote £60-£80 at auction for it, I think.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34- So if it doesn't, you'll pay us the difference?- Eh!
0:34:34 > 0:34:36That's a bit cheeky, that is.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39- That's below the belt.- If it does, you give me half of it! - THEY LAUGH
0:34:39 > 0:34:42- Thank you very much! Straight to the point!- Right.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45- But it's a nice object. - It is, very nice, yeah.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48- I like that.- It's a real collectable.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52- So that might do quite well? Yes. Quite impressed with that. - Good. Thank you.
0:34:52 > 0:34:56- Is she always like this, Judith? - Worse than me. I've mellowed over the years.- Is that what it is?
0:34:56 > 0:35:00- Yes.- Old age and maturity.- Shut it. - Sorry.- Eh! - THEY LAUGH
0:35:00 > 0:35:02Lovely. Such repartee between them.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06- Well, if you can stop fighting... - THEY LAUGH - You don't have to pick right now.
0:35:06 > 0:35:12What don't we found out what the auctioneer thinks about Jonathan's little pin cushion.
0:35:12 > 0:35:13I like that, don't you?
0:35:13 > 0:35:16- Yes, it's a nice little needlework box, very useful as well.- Mm.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19- Quite attractive.- It's not quite doll's house, is it?- No.
0:35:19 > 0:35:23Cos it would make a little bunkette or a bench in a doll's house.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26- I mean, it is meant to be on a dressing table, I guess.- It is, yes.
0:35:26 > 0:35:30- Well, little pins.- Yes. - Pins on them.
0:35:30 > 0:35:34- So I'd think £40-£60.- Brilliant. £35 paid by Jonathan.
0:35:34 > 0:35:38- That's a good buy.- Rather cleverly. - Good buy.- If the team decide to go with it.- Yes.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42- Anyway, are you all warmed up to take the auction?- Absolutely. Ready to start.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45Look forward to it. Thank you very much.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49Five, 90, five...
0:35:49 > 0:35:52Now, how are you feeling?
0:35:52 > 0:35:53Good.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55- Optimistic. - SHE CHUCKLES
0:35:55 > 0:35:58So which piece is going to do well for you, Shelly?
0:35:58 > 0:36:02Well, I'm hoping that the Staffordshire pottery does well, cos I love that piece.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04- Yes.- I'd like to see it do well. - And why not?
0:36:04 > 0:36:06That nice watch. Lovely.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09Anyway, first lot up is the pepperettes, and here they come.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13..George III, Sheffield plate baluster pepperettes with the crest.
0:36:13 > 0:36:18And £20 starts. 20 and two. 22. Is it £20? On commission.
0:36:18 > 0:36:24Two, is it in the room anywhere? At 20. 22. 22. 25. 28. 28, surely.
0:36:24 > 0:36:2728? At £25.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30- 28 is it?- 25.- At £25, then, on commission at £25...
0:36:30 > 0:36:32BANGS GAVEL
0:36:32 > 0:36:35£25. Find another pair, that's what I say. Minus £5.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38- You jolly well won't.- No, you won't.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40- AUCTIONEER:- ..Watch holder with dancers.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42And £20 for it, 20.
0:36:42 > 0:36:4520's bid. 22. 22 for you.
0:36:45 > 0:36:4922, it's at £20 at the back, 22. 22. 25.
0:36:49 > 0:36:5128. 30.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54And 2, 32. It's at £30, then, further back.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57- At 30... - BANGS GAVEL
0:36:57 > 0:37:00That is minus £7.50. Very disappointing, girls.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02I'm sorry for you about that.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04Now, the dressing table set.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07- You must make a profit on £50 on this.- Surely.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10- AUCTIONEER:- ..And £40, please, for it. 40.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Nicely in the case there for 40.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16£40, is it? Anybody wants it, £40. It's got to be worth 40.
0:37:16 > 0:37:21Nice thing there for 40. No bids. Make it 30, then. 30. 30's bid.
0:37:21 > 0:37:2532. Competition. 35. 35. 38.
0:37:25 > 0:37:2740.
0:37:27 > 0:37:32- Surely.- Gosh...- 40, no. At £38, then, at 38.
0:37:32 > 0:37:33BANGS GAVEL
0:37:33 > 0:37:37Minus 12 is £19.50, that's minus £24.50.
0:37:37 > 0:37:44Um... How you can spend £117.50 and finish up by losing £24.50,
0:37:44 > 0:37:47- when everybody has predicted that you'll make at least a small profit...- Yes.
0:37:47 > 0:37:51It's one of those things. So I don't understand it, girls, all right?
0:37:51 > 0:37:55Be optimistic, though, what about the Partners inkwell, going to have a go?
0:37:55 > 0:37:59- Yes.- Yes.- We're going to go for it. - Going to do it?- We love it, and we're going to.- You love it.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03I mean, you rate it as an object. You know it retails at £200, somewhere or other.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07£85 found by you, Mark. I think we should have a group hug after this.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09THEY LAUGH
0:38:09 > 0:38:12The 19th century Partners inkwell, lovely little lot here,
0:38:12 > 0:38:16and bids on this starting at £65, 65 and 70.
0:38:16 > 0:38:2170, is it, in the room, 70, 70, five, 80, five.
0:38:21 > 0:38:26- 90. 90 takes it, five is it? - Oh, good, it's in profit.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29- Against me at 90... - BANGS GAVEL
0:38:29 > 0:38:31A £5 profit is a £5 profit, right?
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Well done, Mark.
0:38:33 > 0:38:34Broken the duck.
0:38:34 > 0:38:39- That means you are now minus £19.50. - Oh, well, that's... Could be worse.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42It could be worse, couldn't it? Yeah.
0:38:42 > 0:38:46I mean, it's a tiny loss, but I so hoped that you'd do better.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50- Never mind. It could be a winning score. Don't say a word to the Blues.- No, OK.- We won't.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52- Well done.- Thank you.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03- Here comes trouble.- Aah!- Aah!
0:39:03 > 0:39:05THEY LAUGH
0:39:05 > 0:39:11- I take it from this giggling that you two girls aren't nervous at all, are you?- Not really, no.- Not really.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13- Just...- Just a bit twitchy. - Mm.- Yeah.
0:39:13 > 0:39:17Anyway, first up is the Mdina vase, here it comes.
0:39:17 > 0:39:21The Medina glass vase, and £10, please, for it. 10.
0:39:21 > 0:39:2410. 12. 15. 15, surely.
0:39:24 > 0:39:31- At £12. 15. 18. 18 at the front, 18, 20...- Keep going...- 2, 22.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34At £20 behind, 2 is it, at £20...
0:39:34 > 0:39:36BANGS GAVEL
0:39:36 > 0:39:39Your first loss, Jonathan, £20. Minus £8.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42Now, the binoculars.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45The pair of 20th century brass binoculars,
0:39:45 > 0:39:48with field theatre attachment, and £10 for them. 10.
0:39:48 > 0:39:5110 for the binoculars. £10.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54Are they worth £10? 10 is bid. 12 for them?
0:39:54 > 0:39:5612 anywhere? At 12.
0:39:56 > 0:40:00- 14. 14 in the red, 14. - You're in profit.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03At £14, lady's bid. 16, is it?
0:40:03 > 0:40:06At £14, are you all done at £14...
0:40:06 > 0:40:07BANGS GAVEL
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Yes! £14 is plus two.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11Well, that's a relief, isn't it?
0:40:14 > 0:40:15...Gentleman's Benson wristwatch,
0:40:15 > 0:40:19and there's bids on this starting at £60,
0:40:19 > 0:40:2560 and five for the nine-carat watch. Five, 70, five. 80.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29Five, 90, five, at £90, still on commission.
0:40:29 > 0:40:34- Five, is it?- Take him on, take him on!- All done at 90...
0:40:34 > 0:40:35BANGS GAVEL
0:40:35 > 0:40:41- 90 is minus 50.- Adios...- Yes. - Amigos.- So that was minus £56.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43Which is not so bad, is it?
0:40:45 > 0:40:46Oh, OK, yes, it's not bad at all.
0:40:46 > 0:40:50- Well, in relation to her estimate, which was £0-£50.- I know.
0:40:50 > 0:40:54- Well, you sold that.- It redeemed itself.- What are you going to do about the pin cushion?
0:40:54 > 0:40:57- We'll go for it. In for a penny, in for a pound.- I don't blame you.
0:40:57 > 0:41:01- I like it.- Excellent. Her estimate is £40-£60.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04She thinks you could double your money on that.
0:41:04 > 0:41:05All right?
0:41:05 > 0:41:08- So that's encouraging.- That's encouraging.- Yes, yes.
0:41:08 > 0:41:12Anyway, we have a decision, we're going with the pin cushion, and here it comes.
0:41:12 > 0:41:17- AUCTIONEER:- The George V seamstress box, silver, 1913, and £40 is bid.
0:41:17 > 0:41:2040 and two, 42. 45. 48.
0:41:20 > 0:41:25- Look at that for a profit. - At £50. Two, is it?
0:41:25 > 0:41:27- At 50, all done... - BANGS GAVEL
0:41:27 > 0:41:29Well done, Jonathan, £50, just like that.
0:41:29 > 0:41:36Very, very quick, I felt, but there we go. Plus 15, which means you are minus £41.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39But it's only minus 41, and that could be a winning score,
0:41:39 > 0:41:44- so, girls, don't tell the Reds a thing!- No.- All right?- Yes.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55Well, well, well.
0:41:55 > 0:41:59- What a lovely programme we've had. Been chatting?- Yes.- Yes.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01- Talking about the score? - THEY LAUGH
0:42:01 > 0:42:04- Not about the score.- Not about the score.- No, no.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07- Things in general.- But you know what the score is, though, don't you? - Yes.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Well, there are similarities between our teams.
0:42:10 > 0:42:14- Both teams have managed to score absolutely no profits. - THEY LAUGH
0:42:14 > 0:42:16That should be no secret to you.
0:42:16 > 0:42:23There is no secret that each of our experts today managed to produce a profit on their bonus buy items.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Thank you. Yes? Not at all.
0:42:25 > 0:42:30But overall, the runners-up just so happen to be the Blues.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33- BLUES: Aaaaah. - Sorry about that, girls.
0:42:33 > 0:42:38- Overall score, minus £41. But you sisters can take that on the chin, can't you?- Oh, yes.
0:42:38 > 0:42:43You've had a wonderful day, and we've absolutely loved having you on the programme.
0:42:43 > 0:42:48You've been superb. But the victors today, with a score of minus £19.50...
0:42:48 > 0:42:50THEY LAUGH
0:42:50 > 0:42:52Pretty good, isn't it?
0:42:52 > 0:42:57£5 profit from you, Mark, thank you very much. That was the grand total of the plus signs on your score.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00But nevertheless, you've done enormously well.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03- Have you had a nice time?- Fantastic. - Has it been good for you?- Brilliant.
0:43:03 > 0:43:08- Well, we've loved having you on the show. Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?- ALL: Yes!
