0:00:02 > 0:00:06Over the centuries, Lincolnshire has been invaded by the Romans
0:00:06 > 0:00:10the Danes, the Saxons, the Normans and now by us!
0:00:10 > 0:00:14So join the stampede and let's go bargain hunting.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40There are whole armies of folks here
0:00:40 > 0:00:43scouring the stalls for trinkets and treasure
0:00:43 > 0:00:46but will our teams have to go to battle
0:00:46 > 0:00:49to get their mitts on the booty?
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Well, they've only got an hour, so charge!
0:00:56 > 0:01:00- Today's invading armies are all relatives.- Thank you.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02- My mind is opening up. - That's it.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06So, let's hope there's no fighting over their £300.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08- Not keen.- I like it.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Before you look, I'm going to take the price tag off.
0:01:12 > 0:01:17Who will be victorious? There's only one place to find out.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21One of the most profitable things ever bought on Bargain Hunt.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Two teams of mothers and daughters today.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29We'd best be on our best behaviour.
0:01:29 > 0:01:34- Joanne, are you going to rise the shopping challenge today? - Definitely.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36You work quite hard, don't you?
0:01:36 > 0:01:38I don't do so much now. The kids do that for me.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40What is your work?
0:01:40 > 0:01:45We sell mobility aids, wheelchairs, scooters, stairlifts.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Now, you met your partner in rather an unusual way.
0:01:48 > 0:01:53Yeah. I've been widowed a few years, and decided I needed a dog.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55I got the free paper to look.
0:01:55 > 0:02:00As I was going to put it in the bin, there was an advert saying,
0:02:00 > 0:02:02David, widower, so I thought, "Oh yeah, I've got to do this
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- had a date, and we've been together ever since.- Lovely.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Do you have a laugh that you were looking for a dog
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- and finished up with him. - Yeah.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Does he take that joke pretty well?
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- Yeah, he barks back often. - TIM LAUGHS
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Do you enjoy working for the family business, Nicola?
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Love it, yeah. It's been 19 years.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Every day is different, every client is different.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- It's very special, isn't it? - It is. It's lovely.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29I've a feeling this family teamwork
0:02:29 > 0:02:31is going to work out for you on Bargain Hunt.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- We'll see.- We'll see.- Very good luck, you lovely Reds.- Thank you.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Now, our lovely Blues.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- Jo.- Yes.- You come from a very close family.- Yes, we do.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43What do you and your mother get up to?
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Quizzes, we go pub quizzing - not always pubs, village halls.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Any quiz that we see in the paper, we're up for.
0:02:49 > 0:02:54- You've also travelled to some very exotic places.- Yes.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56I was a travel agent for 25 years.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59So I did luckily go to places all over the world.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01I've been to some nice spots.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Do you ever get to go on any trips with your old man?
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Yeah, we had a great time in Saint Lucia.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10We went to Saint Lucia, we arrived at the hotel.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13There was a big bouquet and a bowl of fruit.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18"Congratulations on your wedding. Welcome to the honeymoon suite."
0:03:18 > 0:03:22- It was marvellous.- You'd been married how long?- Ten years!
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Oh, I see, yes.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28- Peggy, you don't let the grass grow under your feet.- I hope not.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31We've heard about these pub quizzes, it says on my card
0:03:31 > 0:03:37you are an absolute brainbox in the pub quiz department.
0:03:37 > 0:03:42- Yes.- Is that because you read the paper a lot, keep up to date?
0:03:42 > 0:03:47- Yes, if you read, you accumulate general knowledge.- Yes.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- It's a question of retaining it too, though.- Yes.- Under pressure.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54I went on The Weakest Link, and that was pressure!
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- Have you been on it?- Oh, yes. Two years ago.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- I loved it.- How did you get on? - Round 5. One question wrong.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Well, lovely to have you on the show.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07I hope you do rather better than on The Weakest Link.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09- I hope we will.- Yes.- Indeed.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Anyway, the money moment. The vital link. The cash link.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- The £300 moment.- Thank you.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17There you are. Your £300. You know the rules.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Your experts await.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23Off you go. And very, very, very good luck.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Well, isn't that charming!
0:04:25 > 0:04:28I'd rather be on this programme than The Weakest Link.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Answering questions from the Red team is David Harper.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38And being a strict with the Blues, it's James Lewis.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44- Right, you two crazy girls, are you all excited?- Definitely.
0:04:44 > 0:04:50- What are you looking for? I like - porcelain, Worcester porcelain.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54- Moorcroft pottery.- So were really on the porcelain, pottery theme.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- A little chair, or something. - You like furniture?- I do.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- Oh, I love furniture. Jo?- Silver. - I love silver too. I love you two.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- Isn't that pretty?- Yes.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14You can find anything and everything.
0:05:14 > 0:05:19Darth Vader there and then a big propeller, three propellers.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- Isn't that fantastic? - Yeah, all sorts.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26- Don't like that.- No.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- That's quite nice, that picture frame. Like that?- Yes, I do.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34- It's nice bevelled glass. Missing a bit, but it IS silver.- Is it?
0:05:34 > 0:05:36There's the hallmark.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40- You've an anchor for Birmingham. - Right.- The letter E.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43- What date is that? - I think it's about 1910.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Yeah, sounds about right.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50Silver is very soft and this has been made incredibly thinly.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54- Look at the style, what does that remind you of?- Rococo.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- Art Deco, Rococo. No. - Almost, somewhere in between.
0:05:57 > 0:05:58- Almost.- Art Nouveau.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- That's what I meant. - Lovely.- I like that.
0:06:01 > 0:06:06- What's trade on that one? - 65.- 65.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10- Look around more?- Remember where it is.- Is that the death trade?
0:06:10 > 0:06:1348, that's the death, I'm afraid. I can't do any better.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15- I like it.- I like it.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18If it wasn't for that damage, it'd be the cheapest thing.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22However, it IS what it is. It's good quality.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- It's got the bevelled glass. - It's pretty.- I'd buy it.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29- Do it for 42.- Go on then. - Thank you.- Girls?- Definitely.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- Quick these two, aren't they? - Thanks.- Thank you.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- Exactly the kind of women we love. - It's lovely.
0:06:35 > 0:06:40- That was 1½ minutes.- And you're not the one who likes silver.- No.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43- I love to get one in early. - Is that all right?- Yeah.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- That is nice. - Amazing.
0:06:45 > 0:06:50- Now, where's your expert, Blues? - We've lost him. Oh, dear.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51James?
0:06:53 > 0:06:54- HE SHOUTS:- James!
0:06:54 > 0:06:57He's right over there.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Your team's supposed to be on the hunt for bargains,
0:07:00 > 0:07:02not for you!
0:07:03 > 0:07:04- Most of this is junk.- Yes.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14"The loss of a father is great The loss of a mother is more
0:07:14 > 0:07:18"The loss of Our Saviour is such As no man can restore."
0:07:18 > 0:07:23- Ooh.- There's no mark on it.- No. - How old do you think that would be?
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- 1850.- As old as that?
0:07:26 > 0:07:30But, talking about the death of your father, of your mother?
0:07:30 > 0:07:35- Perhaps not.- Perhaps not. - 40 quid?- No.- Four quid.- Right.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39- We need one with a cheerful verse. - We need to find a cheerful one.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43"We found our father, our mother, what a great day we're having"
0:07:43 > 0:07:44would be much better.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Well, at least THEY found you! That's a start!
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Yeah, go on.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56HE BLOWS
0:07:56 > 0:08:00- It don't work.- It probably does, but I'm rubbish. Have a go.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Go on, Nic.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- DAVID IMITATES A HORN - Well done.- No.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07LAUGHTER
0:08:07 > 0:08:10And I'm not even going to try!
0:08:10 > 0:08:13So it's horn mounted with silver plate.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16You've got the stag's head there which is good.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19You've got that country set, the cartouche that's not engraved,
0:08:19 > 0:08:23and either an ivory or a bone tip.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- It's very late Victorian, early Edwardian.- OK.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30In its day it would have been a fortune to make,
0:08:30 > 0:08:32even if that IS silver plate.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35That is, in actual fact, a good quality thing.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Can I just ask what you've got on the horn?
0:08:38 > 0:08:42Yes, I had £25. I'll do it for 20.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- What do you think?- I like it. - OK, let's get it.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- But is it going to make us any money?- I don't know.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- Mind you, it's dead quirky. - Yeah, I like it.
0:08:51 > 0:08:56- Well, if you like it.. Would 15 get it?- Do 18.- I was going to say 18.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- So are you going to bag it at 18? - Happy at 18?- Yeah.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- Right.- Definitely. - We'll have that one as well.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04You two are sent from heaven. I love you.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08- Well be back in five minutes. - Well done.- They call them angels.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16That's a nice plate. It's Poole. Aegean.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- What do you think, James? - It's a nice thing.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- It's a good size.- Collectable? - Very.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Everybody knows it, easy to sell. Just depends how much it is.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30- What sort of price? - That's around £30 at auction.
0:09:30 > 0:09:36- My best on it is £30.- 25? James, shall we have this for £25?
0:09:36 > 0:09:41- I don't think there's a huge profit in it.- We'll think about that.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45- You might...- We'll think about that? - A good reserve.- Yes.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49You've got a potential fiver profit or loss.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51- No potential for a big profit there.- OK.- Right.
0:09:52 > 0:09:57So, girls, we've got what seems an eternity to buy a third item.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01- I'd like a chair, a little chair. - Why would you like a chair?
0:10:01 > 0:10:05- I've no idea.- You're a bit mad, aren't you?- Yeah.- She's decided.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Let's look for some furniture.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10YOU might have some time on your hands
0:10:10 > 0:10:14- Fancy a three-piece suite for 45 quid?- Bumper bargain!
0:10:18 > 0:10:21But YOU LOT are still empty-handed!
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- How much is he, please?- 55. - Too much.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24Mmm.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26Silver.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30- How about this, Victorian silver? - Victorian silver,
0:10:31 > 0:10:35- Let's ask how much it is. - Shall we ask?- Yes, shall we ask the stallholder?
0:10:35 > 0:10:41- How much is the mirror, please? - Pretty thing.- £20.- OK.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45- I think we'll leave that one for now.- We can always come back.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49- Yes, we'll keep our eye on that. - You really need to get a move on.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51James, to take control.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54The key is to be very quick on every object.
0:10:54 > 0:10:59- If we spend four minutes looking at a hand mirror...- Yeah.
0:10:59 > 0:11:04..that's four minutes we haven't got to find our last thing. Absolutely.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Mm, masterful.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Well, the Blue team can't find anything they like,
0:11:10 > 0:11:14but I'm having much better luck.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Here's a bit of social history for you.
0:11:17 > 0:11:22What would be your biggest nightmare as an Edwardian hostess
0:11:22 > 0:11:26and about to set forth with a dinner party for 12 guests?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Your biggest problem would be
0:11:29 > 0:11:34how you place your guests around the dining table.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37You've got 12 of 'em, right?
0:11:37 > 0:11:41In the Edwardian period you would either have this "placement",
0:11:41 > 0:11:44that's the arrangement where everybody sits,
0:11:44 > 0:11:50printed expensively at the local printers before the dinner party
0:11:50 > 0:11:53or you'd have it were written out by the butler.
0:11:53 > 0:11:58So, your hostess is presented, in this instance,
0:11:58 > 0:12:02with 12 little tablets of white ivory,
0:12:02 > 0:12:07but some cunning silversmith has come up with these little clips.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10And if I slip the numeral off,
0:12:10 > 0:12:15you can see the clip is made with a little prong at the back
0:12:15 > 0:12:19and the sliver of ivory ivory fits most perfectly.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22So she's got her 12 guests.
0:12:22 > 0:12:30She knows James is likely to want to sit at the top of the table
0:12:30 > 0:12:32on the left-hand side,
0:12:32 > 0:12:36so she simply writes out, with a pencil on the piece of ivory,
0:12:36 > 0:12:37"James."
0:12:37 > 0:12:42Her next guest is called Anthea. Here we go. "Anthea."
0:12:42 > 0:12:46And she thinks, "I'm going to place Anthea next to James."
0:12:48 > 0:12:52And so forth, until she makes up her placement of 12.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Then she thinks, "Hang on a minute,
0:12:55 > 0:12:59"wasn't Anthea once married to James?
0:12:59 > 0:13:02"I can't possibly have them sitting next to one other."
0:13:02 > 0:13:03So she'd take Anthea
0:13:03 > 0:13:09and put her somewhere else in the place order around the table
0:13:09 > 0:13:13and make quite sure before the final version is prepared
0:13:13 > 0:13:18everybody is going to be sitting happily next door to one another.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21At the end of the evening, she'd simply take a rubber
0:13:21 > 0:13:25and rub Anthea off the tablet of ivory
0:13:26 > 0:13:30and be ready for her next social engagement.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33I think this is a great set. Incredibly rare.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37I don't think I've ever seen one exactly in this form
0:13:37 > 0:13:43and it's just redolent of an idle and an early age.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46So what's a little set like this worth?
0:13:46 > 0:13:52Well, it could be yours today, out there in the fair, for £20.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Is that cheap or not? Well, it's not much per head, is it?
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Sadly, it's too early for dinner, so, back to the shopping.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Now what about that then, girls?
0:14:09 > 0:14:13Do you like that? Chinese cloisonne pot
0:14:13 > 0:14:18which looks like it's a very early Ming dynasty thing, but it isn't.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22- Don't like it.- You don't like it? I love oriental pieces.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25All my life I've had a crazy fascination.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29- It's nice, but I wouldn't buy it. - No.- It's not to my cup of tea.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- You know what you like and you don't like.- We do.- Good.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36You girls are getting picky!
0:14:39 > 0:14:43But have the Blues lowered their standards?
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- How desperately do you want to sell? - Not particularly.- Don't you?
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- What have I got on it?- 15 quid.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53I can do it for 12.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57- You really want to lump that around?- Tenner, then.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01- That's a tenner.- Is it? What is it?
0:15:01 > 0:15:05- Just a simple little ink stand. - Yes, it's heavy.- It's heavy.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07It's not got any great quality.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Is eight quid any good? If it makes a tenner.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Make it nine and you can take it.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16- £9.- What do you think? - We're getting desperate.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18We still have two things to find.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Not going to make a huge loss.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Takes the pressure off a bit to think clearly.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27Don't like it, don't think it's going to make a great profit, but
0:15:27 > 0:15:30- It's not much of a loss either.- No. - There we go.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Let's see what happens, eh? Take that and see.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35- At £9 you've a deal.- OK. - Brilliant. Thank you.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45- Girls, point something out if you like it.- Can't see anything.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51The girls are good. In the beginning, incredibly impressive,
0:15:51 > 0:15:56straight in there, making decisions like proper antique dealers.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00They're very strong-willed and strong-minded which I love.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04I'm finding Nicola a real challenge in the nicest possible way.
0:16:04 > 0:16:09- Nicola, you're not looking excited.- Not keen. Sorry. Not keen.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Everything I point out to her, she doesn't like.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15I'm pointing out anything, just because I love the response.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19- Do you like it, Nicola?- No, not my cup of tea.- Not your tipple.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20- No.- No.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22- It's not you?- No.- No.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26- Victorian hors d'oeuvres dish. - No.- Don't you like that?
0:16:26 > 0:16:27No.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31- Sure you don't like the lion? - Quite sure.- Come on.
0:16:33 > 0:16:38Look at that little chap. Now I just think that's quite sweet.
0:16:38 > 0:16:43- Before you look, I'm going to hide and take the price tag off.- Right.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46I'd just like to have your opinion on that.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50- Have a look.- It's very light. - It's a little Chinese gourd.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53- It's all hand-carved. - Oh, look, a little pig.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56A little pig running through bushes.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59- It's sweet.- Do you like it? - Yeah, I do.- I do.- It's pretty.
0:16:59 > 0:17:04- What would you expect the price to be?- Maybe 20, 30?
0:17:04 > 0:17:06- It should make £20, £30, shouldn't it?- Yes.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- Look.- What have they charged? - Oh!
0:17:09 > 0:17:10£2!
0:17:10 > 0:17:13I think we can splash out, James.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- I know it's not a lot. - Should we ask his best price?
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- Do you want to ask him? - Oh, dear!- Here we go.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21That's your job.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24- There he is, go and ask him. - All right. I will.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- Peggy, let's run. - Yes, as fast as we can.
0:17:27 > 0:17:33- Hey, guys, 100 per cent discount. - 100 per cent?- Well, 50, then.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35It's not quite free, but £1.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39- Tim is going to go mad, we've spent a tenner.- I know, I know.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- That's awful!- Yes.- We need to find something good.- We do.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44We've got 15 minutes.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47You grab one there and look at the bases.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50So they're in mint condition? Nothing wrong with them at all.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52So Royal Doulton...
0:17:52 > 0:17:59They would date to 1891 to about 1910, before the First World War.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00- A good age on them.- Mm.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04But that, for me, is glorious.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07The colour is fantastic, the decoration is Art Nouveau.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11Yeah, I like them. It's whether Nicola likes them. Yeah, I do.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15- Nicola.- The first yes. - Did you say you like them?
0:18:15 > 0:18:17- Yes, I do.- It's a celebration.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21- Absolutely.- What would be the absolute double death trade?
0:18:21 > 0:18:2390. Really?! Can't do them for less.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28- Do them for 70.- I can't. I'll do them for 80 quid.- 75.- No, 80.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32- To be honest, who can criticise us for buying good quality Doulton? - No.
0:18:32 > 0:18:37- Pair of, for 80?- No damage. - Yeah.- I think they're a bargain.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- Sorted.- Going to go have them? - Yeah.- Thank you. Good man.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- Cheers.- Thank you.- Wonderful. You've saved my life.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45We were running out of time.
0:18:45 > 0:18:46- Thank you. - Well done, you two.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Jo, isn't it fantastic to find something Nicola likes.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- Yep. Well done, Nicola. - I'm chuffed.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57- At the risk of being a bore...- Oh! - We do have to make a decision.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58What do you think we should do?
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- You've got 13 minutes left.- Yes.
0:19:01 > 0:19:06If you want to spend some money, let's go inside and blow £200.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- Absolutely, let's do it. - We can try.- Let's do it.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22How much is the scent bottle with the plain top?
0:19:22 > 0:19:27- At the bottom?- Yeah.- 160.- 160. 165, it says on it.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29- Shall we have a look? - We'll have a look.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Yeah. It's an unusual shape.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38- I like it.- I think that's worth £80 at auction.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40- What's your absolute very, very best?- 120.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45- How much time do we have? - Eight minutes.- Eight minutes.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Oh dear, what do you think, James?
0:19:49 > 0:19:51It's a really lovely object.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52A practical object.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56People can still use these, have them on their dressing tables.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Also, scent bottles are a great collecting market.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03There are lots of people after them. Problem is the price.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- But, you have to go with your heart occasionally.- Yes.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11- And, if you like it I'm 100 per cent behind you.- Yes, I like it.
0:20:11 > 0:20:12I REALLY like it.
0:20:12 > 0:20:17- Would you take 100 on this? - I think that looks better quality.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22- 110? Please?- 110.- 110.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Go on, then. Happy with that?
0:20:24 > 0:20:26- Want to go for it?- We'll go for it.- We're out of time.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28I think we should. It's very nice.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32- If you want to go for it, go for it. - We'll go for it.- We'll take that.
0:20:32 > 0:20:33- Thank you. - Well done.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Time to see what the Reds bought.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45The ladies think they can see a profit in the Art Nouveau mirror.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51And, blow me, if they didn't manage to find this hunting horn
0:20:51 > 0:20:53for a mere £18.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56The last choice, a smart pair of Royal Doulton vases
0:20:56 > 0:20:59for the discerning bidder.
0:21:01 > 0:21:02What can I buy you?
0:21:02 > 0:21:07- I should think something stronger than tea!- Really?- Yeah.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- Did you have a great time, Jo? - Really enjoyed it.- Lovely.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14- All right going round with the mother?- Not too bad.- No arguments?
0:21:14 > 0:21:17- She did as she was told.- Poor Jo. - For a change.- For a change.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20- Which is your favourite piece? - The silver mirror.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23- What about you, Nicola? - The same, the frame.
0:21:23 > 0:21:29- How much did you spend?- 140.- £160 of left-over lolly, I would like.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Thank you very much. Very kind.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35- Now that is quite a wodge for you, isn't it, David?- Love it, Tim.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Great feel. Big wodge of cash in my hand.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- You going to spend the lot, David Harper?- I don't know.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44- But I might buy these two something oriental.- Oriental, maybe.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49- No.- Uh-oh, is all I can say. - See you later.- Good luck.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Why don't we check out what the Blue team bought?
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Peggy and Jo dipped into their purse
0:21:55 > 0:21:57and paid just £9 for the marble ink stand.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01They hope the Japanese gourd with the pig carving
0:22:01 > 0:22:06might just save their bacon with its tiny price tag of £1.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Then an altogether different flavour
0:22:09 > 0:22:11with the Art Deco cut-glass scent bottle.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Yeah!
0:22:15 > 0:22:19I can't bear any more of this shopping. It's doing my nut.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21- Bear! - Quite good.
0:22:21 > 0:22:26- Hi, girls. How did you get on? - Hello.- Could have been better.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- Could have been better. - What was the problem?
0:22:29 > 0:22:32- Didn't spend enough. - You'll be horrified with us.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36You're going to have to own up.
0:22:36 > 0:22:41- What did you spend?- £120. - Oh, that's not too bad.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- Oh, well.- It's not that brilliant, either, on three items.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48But, Tim, by the end of the second item, we'd spent 10.
0:22:48 > 0:22:53- Oh, my Lord.- Yes, so we could only improve.- Oh, my lordy!
0:22:53 > 0:22:55They rescued me. They really did rescue me.
0:22:55 > 0:23:00- We splashed out on the last one. - £180 I would like, please.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03- Have you got that? - Yeah.- Thank you very much.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05- That's a lot of money, isn't it? - It is.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08One thing I really have decided
0:23:08 > 0:23:12is these ladies love things of real quality and class.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15They love ceramics and we failed to find anything.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19So I'm going to try and find a really beautiful of porcelain.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22I love it when he really gets his head down. Good luck, James.
0:23:22 > 0:23:23Good luck, team.
0:23:23 > 0:23:28Now we're heading off to our usual stately home moment.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32The only thing I'm going to tell you is it's not local.
0:23:36 > 0:23:41You find me today wandering down a west Kensington street in London,
0:23:41 > 0:23:46a street full of houses that all seem absolutely identical.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Apart from this one.
0:23:50 > 0:23:51So what's all this about?
0:23:51 > 0:23:55You'll find out in just a second.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57MUSIC: WALTZ
0:23:58 > 0:24:01This house belonged to Edward Linley Sambourne,
0:24:01 > 0:24:05a cartoonist for the satirical magazine Punch.
0:24:09 > 0:24:14And it's special because it hasn't changed a jot for over 100 years.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25What's really nice about these London houses
0:24:25 > 0:24:28is that they often have a drawing room upstairs
0:24:28 > 0:24:33that's of really generous proportions, which is the case here.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37When the Sambournes bought this house in 1875,
0:24:37 > 0:24:41the first thing they did, surprise, surprise, was redecorate,
0:24:41 > 0:24:44but in the Aesthetic style.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Now, the Aesthetic style was a reaction
0:24:47 > 0:24:54against the heavy mid-Victorian brown decoration
0:24:54 > 0:24:57and they achieved that by introducing such detailing
0:24:57 > 0:25:00as a Dado rail
0:25:00 > 0:25:02and also a plate rail.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07The first principle of the Aesthetic movement decorating manual is...
0:25:07 > 0:25:09not too much clutter.
0:25:09 > 0:25:14The first thing the Sambournes did was to clutter the place up!
0:25:15 > 0:25:19First off, they went to a local house sale and bought 150 items.
0:25:20 > 0:25:26The inventory by 1878 records 250 objects
0:25:26 > 0:25:28in this drawing room alone.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36Such was the lack of space, even in the drawing room,
0:25:36 > 0:25:43that by 1878, Sambourne felt he had to add on this additional bay.
0:25:43 > 0:25:49Because the glazed space would have looked out over the neighbours
0:25:49 > 0:25:54it gave him an opportunity to design some stained and painted glass.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57It looks very Aesthetic movement
0:25:57 > 0:26:02with a pot at the bottom here that could have easily been designed
0:26:02 > 0:26:06by William De Morgan, with these stylised fish
0:26:06 > 0:26:08and growing out of the pot,
0:26:08 > 0:26:11the emblems which epitomise the Aesthetic movement,
0:26:11 > 0:26:14a row of sunflowers.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18And as a reminder of Linley Sambourne's lineage,
0:26:18 > 0:26:24he's introduced into each squares elements from his coat of arms.
0:26:26 > 0:26:31The Sambournes loved their art at 18 Stafford Terrace
0:26:31 > 0:26:36and they also enjoyed their mod cons. Hello.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39MUSIC: AFTER THE BALL IS OVER
0:26:42 > 0:26:47But possibly the ultimate in Victorian communications in the home
0:26:47 > 0:26:49was one of these things.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Installed by Linley Sambourne
0:26:52 > 0:26:56so he could communicate between the floors of the house
0:26:56 > 0:27:00and also the stable which is across the yard at the back.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02If he wanted something,
0:27:02 > 0:27:06he'd take out the ivory bung and give it a blow.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08SHRILL WHISTLE
0:27:08 > 0:27:12That sound would go down the tube, alert the servants
0:27:12 > 0:27:16who'd then come to their receiver and he'd say,
0:27:16 > 0:27:18"Bring me up a cup of tea."
0:27:19 > 0:27:21And then he'd listen.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25What do you mean, "Take a running jump"?
0:27:25 > 0:27:29I don't know. It's so difficult to get the staff these days.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Of course, the big question today is
0:27:32 > 0:27:35who is going to be the whistleblower at the auction house?
0:27:50 > 0:27:56Well, it's great to be at Golding Young & Thomas Mawer saleroom
0:27:56 > 0:27:57in Grantham with Colin Young.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00- Good morning, Tim. How are you? - Great to be here.
0:28:00 > 0:28:05Now, first up for Joanne and Nicola is this strut table mirror.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Yes, nice little easel mirror there. Decent size.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12Good, flowing Art Nouveau styling and sides to it.
0:28:12 > 0:28:13Very good. It's just the condition.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17- It's a bit flaky, isn't it?- It is. - Like there.- Yeah.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19So how much, then?
0:28:19 > 0:28:24I've put an estimate on it of 80 to 120 and that reflects the damage.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26It would have been easily £150, £200.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28David Harper is going to love you.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31- £42 he paid, which is marvellous, Colin.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33- Thank you very much for that. - That's all right.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37- Next is the hunting horn.- Yep. Obviously not very old.
0:28:37 > 0:28:42The mounts that are on it are pretty poor quality.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44We've still put an estimate of 50 to 80 on it.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48Hopefully that will inspire people to bid a bit more for it.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52- Only £18 was paid for that.- Right.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55- Joanne's going to love you - she found that.- Right.
0:28:55 > 0:28:59Now, let's try on for size the pair of Doulton vases.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01Nice bit of Slaters patent.
0:29:01 > 0:29:06- Pretty traditional, aren't they? - Yes, but they're sizeable.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08They're quite a statement piece.
0:29:08 > 0:29:12So 80, 120 for something of that size, scale and nature.
0:29:12 > 0:29:16They paid £80, you're estimating £80 to £120,
0:29:16 > 0:29:18which does show how the mighty has fallen.
0:29:18 > 0:29:23That pair of vases ten years ago would have been worth £200 to £300.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26- That's right. - Hold on to your horses with that.
0:29:26 > 0:29:30That is the most encouraging and positive start
0:29:30 > 0:29:33- we've had for a Red team for some time.- Oh, right.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36They're not going to need their bonus buy, according to your estimates.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38But let's have a look, anyway.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43Jo and Nicola, you spent a magnificent £140.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45Well, it wasn't THAT magnificent.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48And you gave up £160.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Did you blow the lot, David?
0:29:50 > 0:29:51Not quite.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54You know what part of the world this is from, don't you?
0:29:54 > 0:29:55It's Oriental.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59- Tell me what you think. - I quite like that.
0:29:59 > 0:30:03Hold it tight. It's Japanese. It's Kutani ware.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06We've got two characters, a wise man and his wife,
0:30:06 > 0:30:09or his...close friend, I don't know.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12They're probably in search of enlightenment.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14The colours are gorgeous.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18It's on its original wall hanger, which I haven't taken off.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20I don't think you'd want to take it off.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24Very unusual, and right up my street. I love this.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26It's nice, and how much did you pay?
0:30:27 > 0:30:28You are dreadful!
0:30:28 > 0:30:31- What do you think?- 40 quid. - 25.- Oh, right.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34But I think it was an absolute stonking bargain.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38If that doesn't make a profit there's something drastically wrong with this world.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40- Well done.- Well done.- Well done.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42It's a funny old world, this!
0:30:44 > 0:30:48No, seriously. You've heard the pearls of wisdom from the man.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51You don't pick it now. Your opportunity comes later,
0:30:51 > 0:30:55after the sale of your first three items. But for the viewers at home,
0:30:55 > 0:31:00let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about David's plate.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03- There you go. Something to excite you.- Right.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Piece of Japanese Kutani, date-wise probably about 1900.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10Technically it's a wonderful thing and it IS good quality,
0:31:10 > 0:31:13but I think the visual doesn't work.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15What's your estimate, Colin?
0:31:15 > 0:31:18I've put a lowly 30 to 50 on it, I'm afraid.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21David Harper paid £25, and he's a man who doesn't pay more
0:31:21 > 0:31:24than you need to pay.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26That's it for the Reds, now for the Blues.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29- Peggy went bonkers on the ink stand.- Yeah.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31I think because it's carved marble,
0:31:31 > 0:31:34and from that point of view it is pretty substantial.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37Lovely variegation within the marble.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40Good, strong green and grey colours within it.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44- I think it's a very saleable item. - Good.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47- What's your estimate? - I've put 30 to 50 on.
0:31:47 > 0:31:53But I think the inkwells are quite dreadful. They would need changing.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55- But the body of it is great. - Fantastic.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59- Peggy will be pleased. £9 she paid. - That seems...
0:31:59 > 0:32:01- What you call a snip.- Absolutely.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Now we're moving on to a Japanese gourd.
0:32:04 > 0:32:09- I think it's a gourd. Well, it's almost spherical.- Mm.
0:32:09 > 0:32:15- How do you rate it? - We put an estimate of £30 to £50.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19I think it's a case of trying to encourage people to look at it,
0:32:19 > 0:32:21rather than look away from it.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Do you think it might bring £30?
0:32:23 > 0:32:28- £20?- It could be that level. - Well, they paid £1.- Yeah.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31They got more adventurous with the scent decanter.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35- Yeah.- A good-looking thing, isn't it?- It is. Very good.
0:32:35 > 0:32:40Lovely curved shaping to the underside of the lid.
0:32:40 > 0:32:44Very standard item. £50, £80 - how does that sound?
0:32:44 > 0:32:48Not enough. Well, £110 they paid for it.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52- So this is going to be very tight, Colin.- It is.- Yeah.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55They're going to need their bonus buy. Let's look at it!
0:32:56 > 0:33:01Now, Jo and Pegs, you spent £120, chickens. Yes?
0:33:01 > 0:33:05You gave £180 to James Lewis. What did he blow it on?
0:33:05 > 0:33:07- James?- Well...
0:33:07 > 0:33:12- Ah!- Ah!- Well, I couldn't hide it under the cloth. It's this.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14Gosh!
0:33:14 > 0:33:16- Cunning monkey! - There we go.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19What do you think to that?
0:33:19 > 0:33:20BLOWS RASPBERRY
0:33:20 > 0:33:22At the moment, scrap metal is on a high
0:33:22 > 0:33:25and that is solid brass.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29So even if we have to melt down, I think there might be a profit.
0:33:29 > 0:33:34It's a piece of Arts and Crafts metalwork. It's 1880 and 1890.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37And it's telescopic.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39There's a little ratchet so you can adjust that
0:33:39 > 0:33:42and raise it to whatever height you wish.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44- How much was it?- 38.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Oh, wow!
0:33:46 > 0:33:47- Yeah?- Got to be profit in that.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50- There has to be, hasn't there? - He says hopefully.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53If there's a guaranteed profit, that's it.
0:33:53 > 0:33:54- I like it.- I'm quite impressed.
0:33:54 > 0:33:58- We are impressed. We're impressed.- We are.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01- Good.- Well done.
0:34:01 > 0:34:05Let's find out for the viewers if the auctioneer is similarly impressed.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10That's a bit of a monster, isn't it?
0:34:10 > 0:34:12- It's not ALL bad news. - Is it not? Good.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14- There's good news and bad news. - The good news?
0:34:14 > 0:34:19The good news is, it's an object that people can spend hours cleaning.
0:34:19 > 0:34:20Yeah.
0:34:20 > 0:34:24- In the time they've got left, they can spend dusting it.- Yes.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26- Cleaning and dusting. - That's the good news.
0:34:26 > 0:34:30The bad news is it must be well over 10 years
0:34:30 > 0:34:33- since one of these sold well at auction.- Yes.
0:34:33 > 0:34:34Anywhere in the UK.
0:34:34 > 0:34:39- Do we have an estimate? - Yes, we've put 50 to 80 on it,
0:34:39 > 0:34:41but I don't hold out that much hope.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44James Lewis has bought it as a bonus buy.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46- Right.- He paid £38 for it.
0:34:46 > 0:34:52I think he reckons you could melt it down and get change out of £38.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55- That's your challenge, Colin. You love a challenge.- As ever.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58You're our favourite auctioneer. Well done.
0:35:02 > 0:35:03700. 800.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07- How are you feeling?- Good. - Feeling good?
0:35:07 > 0:35:11- Excited, yes. - You're excited?- Yeah, I am.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14First up is the table mirror and here it comes.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17Who's going to start me at 120? 100 to go. 100.
0:35:17 > 0:35:2080, if we have to. Who's going to be first in? 50?

0:35:36 > 0:35:39- 90.- Yes.- 90 bid now? 90. 95. No.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41- Look at this.- 90 bid. 5 again now?
0:35:41 > 0:35:44We're nowhere yet. At 90 bid.

0:35:55 > 0:35:57110. 15 now. 115, no.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59110. Front row here.
0:35:59 > 0:36:04Last call, this is your last chance. We sell at £110.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06- £110. - REDS: Yes!
0:36:06 > 0:36:10Would that be...? That would be... That would be a lot, that would.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14- That's all we need to know. - That would be 58, £68.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17- Oh! You're a dreamboat! - At a stroke.- That's good.
0:36:17 > 0:36:18The hunting horn.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21£50 for this. 50. 50. 30.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23- Might not be so.- £30, anybody?
0:36:23 > 0:36:25OK, it's going to come as a bit of a blow, but 10.
0:36:25 > 0:36:2910. 10 bid. 15 now do I see? 10 bid.
0:36:29 > 0:36:3115 now surely. 15 and 20.

0:36:44 > 0:36:46Look at that!
0:36:46 > 0:36:48Now, will we get a profit on the third item?
0:36:48 > 0:36:51Pair of Royal Doulton baluster vases.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53Again, Slaters patent. Substantial things.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56Who's going to start me £80?
0:36:56 > 0:36:58- It might not...- 50!
0:36:58 > 0:36:59£50. Who's going to be first in?
0:36:59 > 0:37:02- Yes!- Thank you. 50. 5 anywhere else now?

0:37:05 > 0:37:07- 70.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09Any more now? 70. And 5 now.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11- 70 at the back of the room. - Come on!
0:37:11 > 0:37:1375, surely. At 70, then,
0:37:13 > 0:37:16selling, all done. At £70.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19- Oh, girls!- £70. You are minus £10.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23You were 88, you're now plus 78. No shame in that, girls.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26- But no pins.- No pins. - But no pin.
0:37:26 > 0:37:30- Going with the plate? - Want to go with it? You decide.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32- I'm not deciding.- Come on, Ma. - Go on, then.
0:37:32 > 0:37:37We're going with the bonus buy. Here it comes. The Japanese charger.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Who's going to start me at 50? 30 to go.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41£30? 30? 20 to go.

0:37:47 > 0:37:49- Oh, no.- 30 now?
0:37:49 > 0:37:51At 28 bid. 30 is the last call.
0:37:51 > 0:37:55- On the market at 28. No! All gone at £28.- I don't believe it, David.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58But that's OK. £28 is plus £3.
0:37:58 > 0:38:03Lovely, because that takes you over the 80. You are plus 81 smackers.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07- We can't worry, can we?- No. - Well done.- Good.- I'm pleased.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20- Jo and Pegs, do you know how the Reds got on?- No.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22No, well, we don't want you to. Perfect.
0:38:22 > 0:38:28- Are you feeling confident, Jo?- No. - Peggy?- Apprehensive.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31First up is your ink stand. And here it comes.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33A 19th-century green marble inkstand.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35£40 or £50?
0:38:36 > 0:38:38Who's going to start me at £20.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40- £20.- Oh!
0:38:40 > 0:38:41Thank you, £20 bid.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43- 20.- And 2 now, surely. At 20 and 2 now.
0:38:43 > 0:38:4722. 25. 28. Bid 30, 32.
0:38:47 > 0:38:485 anywhere?
0:38:48 > 0:38:50- At 32. Bid 5 or not?
0:38:50 > 0:38:53Selling in the room at £32.
0:38:53 > 0:39:00- £32. Is 22, 23. Plus £23.- Oh. - That's a good start.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Here comes your gourd. Scratched up.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05Who's going to start me at £50?
0:39:05 > 0:39:08For a gourd. 50. 50.

0:39:22 > 0:39:23No.
0:39:23 > 0:39:2622. 5 or not? All done at £22.
0:39:26 > 0:39:31That is marvellous, which means that's a profit of £21.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35That has to be one of the most profitable things ever bought
0:39:35 > 0:39:37on Bargain Hunt.
0:39:37 > 0:39:41Spend £1 and get £22 back. Now here comes the scent bottle.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44A George V glass scent bottle.
0:39:44 > 0:39:48We start the bidding at 20. And 5 now?

0:40:17 > 0:40:19- Look at this.- They've gone away.
0:40:20 > 0:40:27- Sells at £88.- £88. That's 12 short of 100. That's minus 22.
0:40:27 > 0:40:32Minus 22. You had plus 44, which means you're plus £22.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35- How good is that?- Yes! - You're £22 up.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38What are we going to do about that standard lamp?
0:40:38 > 0:40:40- Going to risk it? - We'll try it.- We'll punt.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42- You happy?- Absolutely. - Quite sure?
0:40:42 > 0:40:46You're risking all with the bonus buy. Here it comes.
0:40:46 > 0:40:50The 19th-century Arts and Crafts brass and copper oil lamp standard.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53- £50. Who's first at 50? - Surely
0:40:53 > 0:40:55- 30.- It's worth more than that for scrap!
0:40:55 > 0:40:57Always very popular in sales. 30.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00- That is insane!- 30.
0:41:00 > 0:41:0220.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04- £20 bid. The lady's bid. - Come on!
0:41:04 > 0:41:0522. 25.
0:41:05 > 0:41:0828 now. 28 bid. Bit of competition.
0:41:08 > 0:41:0930. £30 bid.
0:41:09 > 0:41:1332. 35 now, may I say? At 32 at the back of the room.
0:41:13 > 0:41:175 anywhere else for this? We sell, then, at £32.
0:41:17 > 0:41:21- Bad luck. Minus £6.- Do you know... - Which still means...
0:41:21 > 0:41:24- It was in the wrong section of the sale.- I agree.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27- Wrong day.- Wrong section of the sale, absolutely.
0:41:27 > 0:41:32You have £16. You are plus £16. Nothing the matter with that, girls.
0:41:32 > 0:41:37- Don't say a word to the Reds.- No. - No point in the spoiling their day.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53What a great day we've had.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55Both teams making substantial profits.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57TEAMS: Oh!
0:41:57 > 0:42:00It's enough to make the cockles of your heart warm up.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04But, sadly, the team with less money to go home with
0:42:04 > 0:42:06- are the Blues.- Yes!
0:42:07 > 0:42:11Which is bad luck, girls. It started out so beautifully.
0:42:11 > 0:42:16Then that wretched scent bottle let you down a tad.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19As a result, you will go home with £16,
0:42:19 > 0:42:22which is no bad score, actually.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24There's your tenner,
0:42:24 > 0:42:27I don't have a fiver, so we've gone for a lot of coins.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30- Never mind.- There we go. Thank you!
0:42:30 > 0:42:33- Have you had a nice time, Pegs? - Lovely.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35We've loved having you on the show.
0:42:35 > 0:42:40- But the victors today, my gosh, with £81.- Wow!
0:42:40 > 0:42:42There's your £80, darling.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45- Here comes the one. It was a very good result.- Very good.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49What are you going to spend all this money on, Nics?
0:42:49 > 0:42:50Me!
0:42:51 > 0:42:56Well, you are nothing short of a national treasure.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?
0:42:59 > 0:43:01ALL: Yes!
