0:00:02 > 0:00:07Ooh, it's grand to be in the capital city. And... Oh look!
0:00:07 > 0:00:10Alfie's Antiques Market. This is the place.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13Let's go Bargain Hunting. Yeah!
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Cor! Look at this.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Absolutely bursting at the seams.
0:00:47 > 0:00:53This should be a piece of cake for our teams you know. Or will it?
0:00:54 > 0:01:00Coming up, the Blues think they're on to a winner when they find a dealer with a sweet tooth.
0:01:00 > 0:01:07How about 65 and a chocolate bar as well? You have to go for it.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11But the Reds also offer a little bit extra.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13- 220.- 220.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15What about 150 and a dog?
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Not today!
0:01:20 > 0:01:22I don't blame him. Let's go and meet them.
0:01:24 > 0:01:29- On today's Red team are good friends Alex and Martin. Hello.- Hello!
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Hello.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35So what's this, Alex, about you two meeting in a dungeon?
0:01:35 > 0:01:43Yes, we did meet in a dungeon, the London Dungeon, when we were working together as actors scaring punters.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- Is that what you do for a living? - That's what we were doing then, absolutely.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49The tourists pay to come in to get seriously frightened.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- Very frightened. - Are they going to get frightened today on Bargain Hunt?
0:01:52 > 0:01:54That's our tactic.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57I can see there's three of you on today's team.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Who's this little feller?
0:01:59 > 0:02:01This is Suki,
0:02:01 > 0:02:07she's my little Chihuahua and our assistant for this afternoon.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10She's in an appropriate coloured vest, I'm pleased to see. Are you going to take her
0:02:10 > 0:02:12shopping with you today?
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- I am.- If you're allowed to.- If I'm allowed to, yes.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18She's got a taste for the finer things in life.
0:02:18 > 0:02:19What's her favourite period?
0:02:19 > 0:02:26I think she's a very deco dog so we'll be looking for some deco, won't we?
0:02:26 > 0:02:31What role does she play in your performances professionally?
0:02:31 > 0:02:34She's my sidekick now.
0:02:34 > 0:02:42I host a cabaret show every Saturday at the Cafe De Paris with Suki and Martin performs for me.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44What role does he normally perform?
0:02:44 > 0:02:50- He's normally a leggy blonde...- Yes, it's true.- ..imagine if you will, called Bunny Galore.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54Why Bunny Galore, Martin?
0:02:54 > 0:02:58A lot of people ask me that and I ask myself regularly every week when I dress like that.
0:02:58 > 0:03:04She comes from a party at drama school about 16 years ago and she's not left me since.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08She's the bane of my life and an anchor around my neck but everyone loves her.
0:03:08 > 0:03:15- So you started it off as a bit of a laugh 16 years ago and now it's your professional gambit.- That's right.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19Good. So how are the two of you - I'm sorry, three of you - going to perform today on Bargain Hunt?
0:03:19 > 0:03:23We'll probably just go for the shiniest prettiest things.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Straight for shiny, pretty, expensive things.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29You're going to be spoiled for choice, I fancy.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Anyway, very good luck to the three of you.
0:03:31 > 0:03:36Now the Blues, a brother and sister combo from heaven. How lovely.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Sarah, you're described as the big sis.
0:03:39 > 0:03:45I am, although most people think I'm the youngest, but I'm in fact the oldest.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- And you've got a lot in common, have you? - Yes, we're both in performing arts.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51I'm an actress and Chris is a dancer, and we both lived together in London.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- And get on famously.- We try to.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55You have to if you live together.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- There's not many arguments, no. - That's lovely.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02- So have you been performing for long?- Yes, since I was little.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Our auntie had a ballet school we went to when we were young
0:04:05 > 0:04:09and my mum was a ballerina so we've grown up in the performing arts.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13I took the acting route later on whereas Chris stuck to the dancing.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16I went to drama school and graduated last summer.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Well done. Has your acting taken you overseas at all?
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Yes, last summer I was in Poland doing a horror film.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- A proper teen horror. - More dungeon work!
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Yeah! It was a slasher so there was a lot of blood involved.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Chris, you're a bit of a mover.
0:04:31 > 0:04:36I am. I stuck with the dancing, as Sarah said. I started aged two,
0:04:36 > 0:04:40and at 14 I decided to leave home and go to a dance college.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44Then I graduated in 2009 and I've been dancing ever since really.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47How do you think you two are going to perform today on Bargain Hunt?
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- Brilliantly.- Yeah, fantastically!
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Even though you've got no pooch to help you?
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- No.- It won't slow us down so hopefully...
0:04:55 > 0:04:58That's the tactic.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00It won't turn on you and bite you either, will it?
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Now the money - here is your £300 apiece.
0:05:03 > 0:05:09Look at that thick wodge of tenners. You know the rules, your experts await and off you go.
0:05:09 > 0:05:15Very good luck. Wow, two teams of performers, eh?
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Is this show going to be big enough?
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Let's hope our experts measure up.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Little old Charlie Hanson is with the Red team
0:05:27 > 0:05:31and Anita Manning is joining the Blues.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Beautiful isn't it?
0:05:39 > 0:05:45Wow, guys. Wow, guys, this is something else.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49- What's the plan?- Look for anything that's shiny and pretty.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51I'm thinking I'd like something with a frog on.
0:05:51 > 0:05:56I've got a pet frog so I'm thinking maybe for a good luck charm or something.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- So we've got a theme.- Froggy.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59Let's go.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03- Come on, Suki, find us a bargain. - Right.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14- Oh, hang on.- What's...?
0:06:14 > 0:06:17I want, look! Leopard-print stools.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- There's two of them.- The stools? - Yes.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Shall I hold
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Suki for you? Hello, Suki. What does Suki say about them?
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Hold on.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- She's not sure. - She quite likes them actually.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- Have a look at them.- All right.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36I think they're 495.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38- 495?- No!
0:06:38 > 0:06:40495? Blimey.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41They aren't Chihuahua, are they?!
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- They've gone...- It's good
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- because you like what you see, you see.- Yes.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47I like the purply thing.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- Excuse me, can I have a look at the lamp?- Of course you can.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Squeeze in.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04It's 145, a bit pricey.
0:07:04 > 0:07:11145. It's very stylish, it looks great, it looks in good condition, but it's a wee bit pricey.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15What's the best you can do?
0:07:17 > 0:07:21The best I can do one that one, I can do 85 for you.
0:07:21 > 0:07:2275?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- 80.- What do you think?
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Come on, Chris. Don't be shy.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31I think it's a very nice lamp, it's stylish.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- People will like it.- I like it.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- I'm willing to go for it, Chris. What do you think?- I like it, too.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38I think we should go for it.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39Get one in the bag quick.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- Get one in the bag? - I think it's a deal.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45I think we have a fait accompli.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- Well done, well done. - That's one in the bag!- Yeah!
0:07:51 > 0:07:54You'll need a big bag, love.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55That way.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Two items you can afford, perhaps.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- Look at this.- That's pretty.
0:08:01 > 0:08:07They say it's pink to make a Chelsea market wink, and it might sell well at auction.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09What's it worth?
0:08:09 > 0:08:11- 295.- And the best price?
0:08:11 > 0:08:14The best price is 240 for you.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17What about 150 and a dog? House trained.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Not today I think!
0:08:20 > 0:08:22She's so sweet. No?
0:08:22 > 0:08:24- Let's move on.- Yeah.
0:08:24 > 0:08:29Poor Suki. Don't give up on your lucky charm just yet.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- Over there.- I like this. If you're at home, at
0:08:34 > 0:08:39home quite literally in your
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Chelsea apartment, it says here "at home", doesn't it?
0:08:43 > 0:08:45- That's lovely.- It's quite sweet.
0:08:45 > 0:08:52What you've got here, Martin, is a little diary or notebook which is hallmarked for 1901.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55We're going back to the Edwardian age.
0:08:55 > 0:09:00What's so nice is that the pages have never been used.
0:09:00 > 0:09:05Actually the pages might be completely new looking at their style, but to me,
0:09:05 > 0:09:10it's priced at £79. It's not a lot of money in my opinion.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12You've convinced me, Charles.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- I think...- On the stage, you know, that's a lovely little shimmering...
0:09:15 > 0:09:19- That effect and the lining here. - Satin lining.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Could we find a price on that one?
0:09:22 > 0:09:27- A touch cheaper.- Is it yours?- The best price for that, sadly it's not, I'd have
0:09:27 > 0:09:32- to ask the lady but I'm sure we could do something.- Yes.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33I'd happily pay for that...
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- £60.- Really?- So there we go.- I'd say around 50.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38I'd guide it between 60 and 90,
0:09:41 > 0:09:46and that in my own saleroom, so down here it might fetch
0:09:46 > 0:09:48£100 quite easily.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- Hi.- Now, you said you'd be happy with...?
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- 60, I think.- We'll do it
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- for 60.- I wish I'd said 50 now! - I said 50.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02I always do this! I think it's lovely.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- I like it. - I think it's really cute.
0:10:05 > 0:10:11- I can picture a Chelsea lady buying it.- There's a slight tear there I've just seen, which concerns me a bit.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Maybe I could say 55.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Could you? That would be lovely.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- I'll tell her we found a little tear.- You're a good lady.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21I think we should go for that one.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- Yes, yes. - Look at me and tell me that.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Yes!
0:10:26 > 0:10:32Carlos's power of persuasion got there in the end. Item one for £55. Phew.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Let's try around here.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Hello! Fancy meeting like this.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- How's your shopping going, all right?- It's OK.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- We've got one item.- One in the bag.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48They both loved it, they're very stylish Londoners and they've
0:10:48 > 0:10:53bought a very stylish item, which I think will suit the London market.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55I hope it will, I think it will.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58You're excited about that so two more to go and how much time have you got?
0:10:58 > 0:11:03- About 50 minutes.- 50?- Yes. - You'd better be quick!- Bye.- See you!
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- We've found a frog.- We've found a frog.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11I'm not quite sure about the frog though.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14You could always try kissing it.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- Here comes trouble.- Hello!
0:11:20 > 0:11:22How are you doing, Charlie?
0:11:22 > 0:11:23How are you getting on?
0:11:23 > 0:11:27- Have you got all your items? - No, we've just got one.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31You've only got one? And you've got three people on your team.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33It's quality.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- So far so good, OK?- So far so good?
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Have you made a good buy? Do you want to tell us what it is?
0:11:39 > 0:11:43- No.- Do you want to tell us how much you paid for it? - I've found the one antique here.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47In all the style and exuberance I need my team here
0:11:47 > 0:11:51- to guide me. Come on, guys. - Good luck. See you.
0:11:53 > 0:11:54- Have you bought much yet? You've one item?- Yes.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57- Happy with it?- Yes.- Carlos!
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Attaboy.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02CHATTER
0:12:02 > 0:12:04It isn't marked.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06- Look at all that, eh?- It's this coffee pot.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Look, this is all so kitsch, isn't it?
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Yes.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14That's stunning, I love it.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18- Look at the fingernails.- For a lady in Chelsea looking for a bit of jewellery...
0:12:18 > 0:12:22The one important question though, darling, is how much would it be?
0:12:22 > 0:12:25What would you pay for it?
0:12:25 > 0:12:27What would I pay for it? Honestly?
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- Yes.- 100?- £100.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33It's priced at 160.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35I'd say the value... There's nothing intrinsic about it.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38The value is in its style.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40It captures the eye.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44Again, in essence it probably is 1950s, 60s, I think.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Obviously it's paste glass, it's
0:12:46 > 0:12:52not silver, but we must remember value goes far beyond intrinsic worth, Martin, doesn't it?
0:12:52 > 0:12:56Exactly. It's a beautiful design, absolutely stunning. I want it myself.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00He's getting excited.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03I think we should see how much it is.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07I think if we could get a little deal... OK.
0:13:07 > 0:13:12What's your best price on this small item?
0:13:12 > 0:13:16- I'm afraid the best would be 140 on that.- 140.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18It might flop,
0:13:18 > 0:13:20it might fly.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21- Life is too short.- I'm in love.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24If you're in love, hopefully many like-minded ladies would be, too.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28- Exactly. - That's a deal, we'll take it. Yes?
0:13:28 > 0:13:29- £140, we'll gamble.- Fantastic.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Thanks ever so much.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Alex has gone with her heart.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Item two, a tasty trinket...
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Or a tacky one? Hmm.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Cocktails, anyone?
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- What do you think?- I like them. They're fun, they're vibrant.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- How much are they?- 25.
0:13:53 > 0:13:54- 25 each.- It depends.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57We'd have to have a really good price on them to make a profit.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Do you think they'd make anything?
0:13:59 > 0:14:05Yes, I think again if you buy them in a set. You don't want to buy one.
0:14:05 > 0:14:10- No, definitely. - If you buy them in a set, they will appeal to the private buyer.
0:14:10 > 0:14:16They're colourful, they're functional, they're Swedish, so they are good Scandinavian
0:14:16 > 0:14:2120th-century design and that's the type of thing which is hot just now.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Do you like them, Chris?
0:14:23 > 0:14:25I do really like them. But I'm just thinking...
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Tell me why you like them.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30I think they'll be fun for parties and stuff.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32They're bright on display.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35They stand out straight away, as we saw.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37I don't suppose you can do 50 for the set?
0:14:39 > 0:14:4250 is a little bit of
0:14:42 > 0:14:44- a stretch.- They aren't all the same size, are they?
0:14:44 > 0:14:46They are slightly different.
0:14:46 > 0:14:4750 is a little bit of a stretch.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50What's the best you
0:14:50 > 0:14:51could do?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Let's say 80 for the four of them.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56How about 65?
0:14:56 > 0:14:59£70. I meet you halfway.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03How about 65 and a chocolate bar as well?
0:15:03 > 0:15:06LAUGHTER
0:15:06 > 0:15:08You bribe me?
0:15:08 > 0:15:13- Everyone loves chocolate. - Look at the size of the chocolate.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17I'm sure we can find you another one from somewhere.
0:15:17 > 0:15:18Please, we don't have much money.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21- Please.- OK.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Thank you very much.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Well done, Chris. Well done.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28So the Blues pull out all the stops.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30£65 and some chocolate.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Mind you, the Reds have got a dog.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37- Now, we have £105 left.- Yeah.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41- There's about 10 minutes and I don't like losing.- OK.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45- I hate losing.- So it's eyes down for that last item.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49- What about there?- Yes, go.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53- I do quite like that.- Right.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57I quite like the vases.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Right. They're nice. What sort of price?
0:16:00 > 0:16:04- 35 the pair.- £35.- For the pair.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- That's reasonable. - That's not too bad.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Is there anything else?
0:16:09 > 0:16:11I love the Moorcroft.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13- Can I see that pin dish there? - Certainly.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14That's very nice.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18- I like the colours.- Mm.
0:16:18 > 0:16:26- The thing about Moorcroft is they have always made quality items.- Mm.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28They always had the best of designers.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31There's a little crack.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- Right. That's in the glaze.- Mm.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36At 75 it's not too dear.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Well, you could always offer them
0:16:38 > 0:16:41a sandwich, bit of cake, packet of crisps.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45It's not something I myself would go for, but if it's going to make a profit, I'm happy.
0:16:45 > 0:16:50At 75, it's touch and go. You like both of these things.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54- We don't have much time.- No.- I don't think we've got time to go elsewhere.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58- I think I prefer actually this than the two vases.- OK.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01But this is putting me off slightly.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Let me have a look at that a second.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08Let me see. Um...
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- 45.- I'm happy for 45 on the dish.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- Yes?- How do you feel, Chris? Which do you prefer?
0:17:14 > 0:17:16I definitely prefer the dish than the glasses.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19We'll go for the dish, then.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22OK. Thank you very much. DEALER: No problem, Anita.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25I think they wanted that. £45.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29This sibling duo are done.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35- Look at this. What is this? - It's a tiny, tiny handbag.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38- It's a Suki handbag. A handbag for our little dog isn't it?- Yeah.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43It's a sovereign holder. So your 20 carat gold sovereigns would go
0:17:43 > 0:17:47in there, your half sovereigns in here.
0:17:47 > 0:17:54You would have it perhaps on the end of a chatelaine fob chain, on a watch chain.
0:17:54 > 0:17:59It's hallmarked for Birmingham. I think it's about 1935, isn't it?
0:17:59 > 0:18:06I like this a lot. What's your best price on this, please?
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- I'll take 40.- £40.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10Now I like it more.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Solid silver, George V.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14I'm telling you now,
0:18:14 > 0:18:18hands-on Hanson is very hands-on now.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21This will make money, Suki.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Not a handbag. It's a sovereign case.
0:18:24 > 0:18:29We have 120 seconds to go. What's it going to be?
0:18:29 > 0:18:31£40, Birmingham, we love Crossroads.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34We do. I think that's a sale.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36- You're good.- That's it.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38- Thanks ever so much. - Thank you very much.- OK, Suki?
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Yeah, whatever.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44So the Reds have done it.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Walkies?
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Did Suki sniff out some bargains?
0:18:49 > 0:18:53Charles got things going finding this notebook for 55.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Then Alex was blinded by the bling.
0:18:56 > 0:19:01£140 paid. Will the bidders see Red or go dead?
0:19:01 > 0:19:03And all tails were wagging
0:19:03 > 0:19:07when Charles spotted this sovereign case for £40.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Hey, you lot, you must be relieved to be finished.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14- Yes.- Yes.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Quite a little process.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Tell me, Martin, which is your favourite piece?
0:19:19 > 0:19:23I think probably going with the same as Alex, which is the red-stoned bracelet.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25It's just so beautiful and the design is lovely.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Are you going to double your money on it?
0:19:27 > 0:19:32I would love to think someone's going to give it a nice home and maybe pay a tenner more for it.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35- That would be nice. - What do you think, Charles?
0:19:35 > 0:19:36Tim, you never know in life.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Life is a journey. You never know.
0:19:38 > 0:19:43Never give a straight answer, Charles, if you can possibly get around the edges. Very sensible.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46- Who's got the leftover lolly?- Me.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48- How much is that?- 65.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52- £65. OK, that goes straight to you, Charles Hanson.- Thank you.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56You're going to have a challenge in this emporium finding something for £65.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59I think I am, but with my team, there's so much theatre amongst
0:19:59 > 0:20:04us, so much drama and excitement, something to really give us style and to ooze class.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06- Something for the dog.- And the dog.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09We've all chosen our respective items.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12The poor old dog Suki hasn't yet.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14A dog bowl.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16That's it. A nice collar.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19A bag of chews, something like that.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Anyway, very, very good luck.
0:20:21 > 0:20:27Meanwhile, why don't we find out what the Blues have bought, eh?
0:20:27 > 0:20:28Sarah took centre stage
0:20:28 > 0:20:33and found item number one, the retro lamp for £80.
0:20:33 > 0:20:39Chris did a sweet deal, getting these colourful glasses for 65.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42And finally, they were positively underwhelmed
0:20:42 > 0:20:44by this Moorcroft pin tray for £45.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Quite nice, actually.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52Well, I must say you're looking very pleased with yourselves.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- Is this a portent for things to come?- Hopefully.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57- You reckon you'll win?- We'll see.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Which is your favourite piece?
0:20:59 > 0:21:02I think the glass cups.
0:21:02 > 0:21:07They're your favourite? Are they going to bring the biggest profit?
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- Probably not.- What's going to bring the biggest profit?
0:21:10 > 0:21:15I think the small dish will probably make the most profit but the lamp's my favourite. We'll see.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17We're in a split decision here.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20- How much did you spend overall? - £190.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24£110 of leftover lolly, please.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28Lovely. That goes straight to Anita Manning, a very safe pair of hands if you don't mind my saying so.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Are you going to blow the lot, Anita?
0:21:30 > 0:21:35I'm not too sure. There are a few things I've seen that I have liked.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39These guys are young, stylish, artistic, so I'm looking for
0:21:39 > 0:21:41something with a wee bit of edge to it.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Something related to dancing, perhaps.
0:21:43 > 0:21:49Something that's got some shoes on it, anyway, to run out of the auction room.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Very good luck with that. Meanwhile, we're heading off to Bucks.
0:21:58 > 0:22:03This is West Wycombe Park, stylish outside and in.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Pretty special house, this, isn't it?
0:22:07 > 0:22:15It's been the home to a string of Dashwood baronets for over 300 years.
0:22:15 > 0:22:23But two of them have to be credited with the way it looks today - the second baronet who created it
0:22:23 > 0:22:28and the 11th baronet who basically, after decades of neglect,
0:22:28 > 0:22:32pieced it all back together again.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35The second baronet was full of ideas,
0:22:35 > 0:22:40inspired by buildings he'd visited on his extensive travels.
0:22:40 > 0:22:47Roman temples and Italian villas combine to form this unique home, now beautifully restored.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56But there's one room that was in need of particular restoration
0:22:56 > 0:23:01and that's this, the Palmyra room, or dining room.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04At the time that the 11th baronet got his hands on it, it had been
0:23:04 > 0:23:09subdivided with partitions into at least three smaller rooms.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13What he did was to remove all the partitioning and set about the restoration.
0:23:13 > 0:23:19In particular, this is evident in the magnificent painted ceiling.
0:23:19 > 0:23:27The title of the room, the Palmyra room, derives from this design, which was found in Palmyra.
0:23:28 > 0:23:33The character that was responsible for the original decoration was the second baronet,
0:23:33 > 0:23:37Sir Francis Dashwood, who you see in this portrait.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Now, he was an immensely clubbable man.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42It was said that if it was possible to dream up
0:23:42 > 0:23:47a reason for having a club, then Sir Francis would be in the forefront.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51And if you notice, he's wearing Turkish or oriental dress.
0:23:51 > 0:23:56That's because one of his clubs was the Divan Club.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59To be a member of the club, you had to have visited Turkey
0:23:59 > 0:24:05and be interested in Ottoman culture, but also be capable and happy to
0:24:05 > 0:24:11take on immense amounts of alcohol and be interested in all sorts of naughtiness.
0:24:11 > 0:24:17Sir Francis is therefore surrounded by various girlfriends.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21On his right, we've got a portrait of Lady Mary Wortley,
0:24:21 > 0:24:28and on the other side, we've got a rather handsome-looking woman called Lady Mary Walcott.
0:24:28 > 0:24:36If you look at the title on the top of the painting, it seems to say Sultana Walcotina.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Not so far off Wonnacott, Walcotina.
0:24:39 > 0:24:44In fact, do you see a little family resemblance here?
0:24:44 > 0:24:50She definitely looks a bit bloke-ish, and of course is wearing Turkish dress.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54Next door to her, the girl who was described at the time
0:24:54 > 0:24:58as the toast of the harem, Miss Fanny Murray.
0:24:58 > 0:25:03And she's sporting an indication of her true profession,
0:25:03 > 0:25:05which is a bare bosom.
0:25:05 > 0:25:13Because in the 18th century, an indication of a courtesan was the bearing of one or two breasts.
0:25:13 > 0:25:18She was not only a favourite of Sir Francis, but she was also
0:25:18 > 0:25:22a favourite of his best friend, the Earl of Sandwich.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26Sandwich was a co-member of Sir Francis's other club,
0:25:26 > 0:25:29the Hellfire Club, and in this portrait
0:25:29 > 0:25:35we see a picture of Sir Francis himself, where he is lampooning,
0:25:35 > 0:25:40as a part of his Hellfire Club revelry, the Catholic Church.
0:25:40 > 0:25:47This mock religious order held elaborate ceremonies, where drinking and free love played their part.
0:25:47 > 0:25:52Let's hope there will be something to party about over at the auction.
0:26:04 > 0:26:11Well, it's lovely to be at Lots Road Auctions in deepest Chelsea with our auctioneer Nick Carter.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13- Hi, Nick.- Nice to see you, Tim.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Very good to be here.
0:26:15 > 0:26:21First up for our teams, Charles Hanson found this silver Victorian notebook.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- How do you rate that? - I think it's a pretty thing.
0:26:24 > 0:26:30I think it's an ideal gift for somebody, especially a Valentine's Day, birthday.
0:26:30 > 0:26:37Yes. And it's decorative and it could be used as an autograph book or anything like that.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Perfect. What do you think it's worth, Nick?
0:26:39 > 0:26:42I think we'll get something in the region of £40-£70 for it.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45£55 they paid. That's pretty well in the frame.
0:26:45 > 0:26:51Next is this stylish piece of costume jewellery.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53What do you think about that, Nick?
0:26:53 > 0:26:57Initially when I first saw it, I thought fantastic, ideal.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59We sell costume jewellery very well here.
0:26:59 > 0:27:06Closer look to it though, it does have a stone missing, which I do think hits it, rather.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09I think it will sell but it's not going to make a lot.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11When you say not a lot, how much is that?
0:27:11 > 0:27:15- 40-70.- How much?- 40-70.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18- Oh.- Tell me. How much did they pay?
0:27:18 > 0:27:20- £140.- 140?
0:27:20 > 0:27:22That's quite strong, isn't it?
0:27:22 > 0:27:26Quite strong? They're going to lose £100, potentially.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Unless we get a payback out of the sovereign case.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31I quite like the silver sovereign case. I quite like it.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35It's unusual in that it's dated 1935.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39By 1935 we'd dropped the gold standard, sovereigns were out of circulation.
0:27:39 > 0:27:44Doesn't really affect the value, that rarity, but it's still a nice thing.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47We sell silver very well here. We have regular silver sales.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49What's your estimate?
0:27:49 > 0:27:53- 60-90. - £40 paid.- They paid £40 for it?
0:27:53 > 0:27:57They did, so they might make a £50 payback profit on that.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Things may not be too bad for this lot, at the end of the day.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04Just in case, let's have a look at their bonus buy.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08Now, Alex and Martin, how exciting, left over lolly.
0:28:08 > 0:28:13You spent, you children, £235, you and Suki,
0:28:13 > 0:28:17and you left £65 for Charles Hanson to go off and do his worst.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19So, Charles, what did you do?
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Tim, I went avant-garde and I bought this.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25- Look out.- It was the entirety.
0:28:25 > 0:28:30Now, you may have heard of a dumb waiter, a Georgian one, a Victorian one, in mahogany or walnut.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34This is a bit different. Because...
0:28:34 > 0:28:36She reminds me of you, Alex.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38That's why I bought her.
0:28:38 > 0:28:42She's a French maid and obviously a serving stand.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44She's a good-looking lady in her suspenders.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47I love it. How much was she?
0:28:47 > 0:28:52Well, she cost me £60. I think she's got clout today,
0:28:52 > 0:28:57and she'll either make £120 or she'll make £20.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02- Very impressed.- Very impressed. I love it.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05For all the wrong reasons, but I love it.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07What are the wrong reasons, please?
0:29:07 > 0:29:10- The kitsch value. - Oh yes.- The kitsch value and...
0:29:10 > 0:29:13I just want to take her home, put a Martini there.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16Well, it's your day, you see, and I can see her racing away,
0:29:16 > 0:29:18but it's your day and that's why I've bought it for you.
0:29:18 > 0:29:23Ultimately it's your choice, because after the sale of the first three items,
0:29:23 > 0:29:28we'll give you a chance to decide whether you want to cope with Charles's bonus buy,
0:29:28 > 0:29:30his bonny French maid or not.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32But right now, for the viewers at home,
0:29:32 > 0:29:36let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about the French maid.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38Well, there you go, Nick.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40A French maid, do you think?
0:29:40 > 0:29:42I think she's most definitely French.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44From a very early age I've had a thing for French maids.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46- Have you?- Yeah.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49- Morning.- Morning.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52It's...it's an interesting,
0:29:52 > 0:29:55decorative item, that's about it.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58It's not particularly well made.
0:29:58 > 0:30:03It's quite crudely made, in fact, but I can see, we have clients here,
0:30:03 > 0:30:07guys from the City, got a bit of a bonus in their pocket,
0:30:07 > 0:30:12it's the sort of thing they might quite like to see in their hallway in their rooftop apartment.
0:30:12 > 0:30:19So, originally, I suppose intended to go in a cafe to take the menu or the tips dish or whatever
0:30:19 > 0:30:24it might be, so it'll have another life in a Chelsea pad, you reckon?
0:30:24 > 0:30:28- I think so.- So how much, then, is your City-slicker going to pay for this?
0:30:28 > 0:30:32- I'm going out on a limb and saying £80 to £150.- Are you really?
0:30:32 > 0:30:36- I know it's high, but I think so. - Well, Charles will be delighted because he only paid £60.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39- Oh, well done, Charles. - £60, top end for him.
0:30:39 > 0:30:45So, on that basis, he stands a reasonable chance of making a profit on his bonus buy.
0:30:45 > 0:30:46Which would be brilliant. Thank you.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:30:49 > 0:30:55Their first item is the chrome deco-style lamp. Do you like it?
0:30:55 > 0:30:57I love it. It's very, very Chelsea.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01The young buyers that we get here are looking for this
0:31:01 > 0:31:05sort of thing, they're looking for cool, '70s look, so it's ideal.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09- How much?- How much? £100-£200, Tim.
0:31:09 > 0:31:13£80 paid, so that's pretty good. That would be a brilliant start.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17What about these four varicoloured Kosta Boda glasses?
0:31:17 > 0:31:19I'm not sure about these.
0:31:19 > 0:31:24I don't think they're very old, they've even still got their labels on, they've never been used.
0:31:24 > 0:31:29But they're interesting, they look very fun in all those different colours.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32But they're not going to make a lot compared to the retail price.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34- What's the estimate?- £30-£50.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36£65 paid.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39So that's going to drag them back a bit.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41The Moorcroft tray.
0:31:41 > 0:31:46It can be hard stuff to sell now, especially late items, and this is a late item.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Yes, late item means brand-new, practically.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51It does, yes. I'd say this is from the mid '80s.
0:31:51 > 0:31:56- The mid '80s, OK. How much?- How much? £30-£50.- £45.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58- Really?- Yes. So not so far.
0:31:58 > 0:32:03- That's not so far.- Their killer is going to be the Kosta Boda glasses, but depending on how that is
0:32:03 > 0:32:08will determine whether they really need their bonus buy or not, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12- OK, kids, are you ready for the left-over lolly moment?- Yes.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14Well, you spent 190,
0:32:14 > 0:32:17you gave Anita £110, a tidy sum.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19She was let loose, what did you find, Anita?
0:32:19 > 0:32:23Well, Chris and Sarah are an artistic pair,
0:32:23 > 0:32:28and I thought they might like this.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Chris is a dancer,
0:32:30 > 0:32:34so we're combining this piece of sculpture with dance.
0:32:34 > 0:32:35It's a bronzed model,
0:32:35 > 0:32:38it's not bronze but it does have a bronzed finish.
0:32:38 > 0:32:43It's in the modernist style, do you like it?
0:32:43 > 0:32:44How much did you pay for...
0:32:44 > 0:32:46Is that the important question?
0:32:46 > 0:32:49- Yeah.- £20.- Yes.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53- And do you think we'll make much? - That makes me like it more now.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55Yes, uh-huh.
0:32:55 > 0:32:56Don't you like the style?
0:32:56 > 0:32:57I do like it.
0:32:57 > 0:33:02Do you like the line, is that a proper dance position?
0:33:02 > 0:33:05- That's called arabesque. - Can you do that?
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Not now.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12- But you could do it? - Yeah, I'll teach you backstage.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14Later on.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16What about you, Sarah, do you like it?
0:33:16 > 0:33:20I do like it, but it's quite new, it's quite modern.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23- But it's £20.- But it's £20.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25I don't dislike it.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27I think it's worth more than £20.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30You don't think it could be solid bronze, do you, Anita?
0:33:30 > 0:33:32I mean, it feels as if it might be,
0:33:32 > 0:33:35- it's got a bit of patination on it.- Yes, Uh-huh.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38And there's a little abrasion there and it's kind of yellowish metal.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40Well that would make it even better.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44Well, there you go. The market will decide.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46For my money, it's bronze.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49Have you asked her how much it's going to make?
0:33:49 > 0:33:53I'd hope it would make a profit of £10-15,
0:33:53 > 0:33:56but somebody might fancy it very strongly.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59- It could take a wee flyer. - Hopefully, fingers crossed.
0:33:59 > 0:34:04- I think that's very canny of you, Anita.- Thank you, Tim.- Well done.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07Anyway, you decide after the sale of your first three items,
0:34:07 > 0:34:12but for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Anita's dancer.
0:34:12 > 0:34:18Well, Nick, she doesn't seem to have any stockings on, so over to you.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21Some of my colleagues looked at this and liked it.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24I have to say, I'm not convinced.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26To me it seems a bit pedestrian
0:34:26 > 0:34:29and a little bit uninteresting, really.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32- I like the fact it's made of bronze, don't you?- It is made of bronze.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35- So it's not rubbish, from that point of view.- It's not rubbish.
0:34:35 > 0:34:41Still, to me it looks like something you could buy almost anywhere.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44- Well, hopefully somebody will want to buy it here.- Hopefully.- How much?
0:34:44 > 0:34:48I thought a lot lower, but my colleagues pushed me on this one and we've put 40-70 on it.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52Well, Anita will be delighted, because she only paid £20 for it.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55And when you think about it, for the Blue team,
0:34:55 > 0:34:57that's a really good Bonus Buy.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00Let's hope your colleagues are right. Are you taking the sale today?
0:35:00 > 0:35:02- I certainly am.- We're in safe hands.
0:35:02 > 0:35:0560's, yours, sir. 70's here.
0:35:05 > 0:35:0780's bid, any advice on 80?
0:35:07 > 0:35:1090's bid now. What about 100?
0:35:10 > 0:35:12£100 is bid, front row.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15At £100, at £100...
0:35:15 > 0:35:17Going, going...
0:35:17 > 0:35:19gone.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21So, how are you feeling, guys?
0:35:21 > 0:35:25- Excited.- Excited, but worried.- We don't know what's going to happen.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27- You don't know what's going to happen?- No idea.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Nobody has any idea, that's the whole point?
0:35:29 > 0:35:34I mean, it's just an amazing cliff edge that you're hanging around.
0:35:34 > 0:35:35We really are hanging.
0:35:35 > 0:35:39From which you're going to plunge any second now.
0:35:39 > 0:35:44Anyway, first up is your notepad, the Birmingham 1901 notepad.
0:35:44 > 0:35:45Here it comes.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49336, we've got that silver embossed notepad, rather nice piece this
0:35:49 > 0:35:52- and I'm going to start the bidding off at £20.- Oh, dear.
0:35:52 > 0:35:5420, anyone want to bid me 5?
0:35:54 > 0:35:5625, it's yours, sir.
0:35:56 > 0:35:5830 is here. Is it 5? 35.
0:35:58 > 0:36:0140 is against you, sir. Is it 45? No...
0:36:01 > 0:36:03Come on. Let's keep going.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06..45, new bidder. 50's here.
0:36:06 > 0:36:0850's here, what about now?
0:36:08 > 0:36:1055 is bid, 60's here.
0:36:10 > 0:36:1260's bid, anyone going to go 5?
0:36:12 > 0:36:15- One more.- Otherwise at £60, are we all done at 60?
0:36:15 > 0:36:17Any advance on 60?
0:36:17 > 0:36:19It's a commission buyer at £60...
0:36:19 > 0:36:20Going, going...
0:36:20 > 0:36:21Gone. Sold.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23- Well done, plus £5.- Good.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26Next up is the bracelet, and here it comes.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29Now, moving to this angular bracelet.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33I'm going to start the bidding off at £20 for this. Who'll bid me 20?
0:36:33 > 0:36:3620's bid. Five's here, 30?
0:36:36 > 0:36:39£30 bid. Anyone going five now?
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Otherwise it's on my right at 30...
0:36:42 > 0:36:45Oh, no. That could be a 110 loss.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47..Are we all done at 30?
0:36:47 > 0:36:50It's once 30, it's twice at 30,
0:36:50 > 0:36:52it's three times at £30...
0:36:52 > 0:36:53Sold.
0:36:53 > 0:36:58Right, Charles, minus £110.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01The silver sovereign and half sovereign case.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04Going to start the bidding off at £30.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07Anyone going 30? £30, anywhere? 30.
0:37:07 > 0:37:08What about 40 now?
0:37:08 > 0:37:11- Otherwise it's at 30.- Oh, come on!
0:37:11 > 0:37:12A commission bid at 30, 35.
0:37:12 > 0:37:1540 here. Any advance on 40?
0:37:15 > 0:37:19Anyone want to go 5 now? Otherwise I'm selling it at 40.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21Are we done? It's going at 40.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24Buyer number 92 at 40 - gone.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26That's a good buy for somebody.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28It certainly is. Wiped its face.
0:37:28 > 0:37:32So, overall you're minus £105.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34Which is not so swift.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37What are you going to do? Are you going to go with the dumb waiter?
0:37:37 > 0:37:40- I think so. - You'll go with the dumb waiter.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42They're going with the Bonus Buy and here it comes.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45Lot number 342,
0:37:45 > 0:37:47the dumb waiter,
0:37:47 > 0:37:49a French maid.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51£60? Anyone going to go 70 now?
0:37:51 > 0:37:53At 60, anyone going to go 70 now?
0:37:53 > 0:37:56Otherwise I'm at 60. I'm going to drop down to 40?
0:37:56 > 0:37:58- Oh, no! - £40? Anyone want to bid me 40?
0:37:58 > 0:38:0230, last offer, anyone going to go 30? Yes or no?
0:38:02 > 0:38:04No bid on that at 30,
0:38:04 > 0:38:07are we finished, anyone going for any more? No.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09That lot, I'm afraid, is unsold.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11The French maid hasn't sold!
0:38:14 > 0:38:16The French maid hasn't sold.
0:38:16 > 0:38:17That's incredible, isn't it?
0:38:17 > 0:38:22- Nobody wants her.- Absolutely nobody wants her. Well, that's incredible.
0:38:22 > 0:38:27- Not even for a £5 note. - They've got no taste in Chelsea.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30I'm staggered, stunned...
0:38:30 > 0:38:32We have to treat that, I'm afraid, as minus £60.
0:38:32 > 0:38:37That means overall you're minus £165.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40If I were you, I think I'd stick to the stage.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50Do you know how the Reds got on?
0:38:50 > 0:38:54- No.- No idea? You don't want to know, I tell you.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58Anyway, first lot up is your table lamp, Chris, and here it comes.
0:38:58 > 0:39:02Lot number 358, the table lamp.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Very stylish piece indeed,
0:39:04 > 0:39:07I'm going to start the bidding off on this lot at £20.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10Who'll start me at 20? £20, who'll start at 20?
0:39:10 > 0:39:11So much for the estimate.
0:39:11 > 0:39:1425 bid. 30 here, 30 commissioned.
0:39:14 > 0:39:1835. 40 here. £40? Any advance on 40?
0:39:18 > 0:39:19Anyone want to go 50?
0:39:19 > 0:39:24- Otherwise it's at £40. Anyone want to go 50 now?- Come on, oh dear.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27Otherwise I'm at 40 and I'm selling it at 40 unless I see more.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30Going once, twice, three times at 40.
0:39:30 > 0:39:35All his chat about smart Chelsea folk, 100-200.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38- People just don't know style. - Minus £40.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41- Here we go, for the Kosta Boda. - Where would you start me on those?
0:39:41 > 0:39:44£10. Who'll start me at 10 for those four glasses. £10.
0:39:44 > 0:39:4810's bid with you, sir. 15's here, sir. Is it 20?
0:39:48 > 0:39:5120, 22 is against you. 25?
0:39:51 > 0:39:5425 is bid. It's the gentleman's bid at 25.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56It's 460 at 25.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Anyone want to go 30 now?
0:39:58 > 0:40:02Otherwise it's 460 buying at £25.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Going, going...
0:40:04 > 0:40:05Gone.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08£25 is minus £40.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10That's your fault. That's her fault.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12No, no, it's not her fault, is it?
0:40:12 > 0:40:15Anyway, here comes the Moorcroft pen tray.
0:40:15 > 0:40:19I can start the bidding off now at £10.
0:40:19 > 0:40:24£10, who'll bid me 10 for the Moorcroft tray? £10?
0:40:24 > 0:40:2510 is bid with you.
0:40:25 > 0:40:2715 - the gentleman's bid. 20, sir?
0:40:27 > 0:40:2920 is bid. 5, sir?
0:40:29 > 0:40:3225. 30, sir? 30. 5, sir?
0:40:32 > 0:40:36No, it's the gentleman's bid on my left at £30 then. Are we all done?
0:40:36 > 0:40:37I'm selling at 30.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Sold.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42Minus £95. So, what are we going to do about the dancer, then?
0:40:42 > 0:40:47- We'll go for it, definitely. - I think you've got to!
0:40:47 > 0:40:49We're going with the Bonus Buy, let's see what happens.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52Rather nice, modernist bronze figure.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55I'm going to start the bidding off at £10.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58- Amazing.- Who's going to bid me £10 for the bronze? £10.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01Who's going to bid me 10 for the bronze? 10's bid. 15 is bid.
0:41:01 > 0:41:0520 bid. Any advance on 20? Anyone want to go 5 now?
0:41:05 > 0:41:0722 is bid. And 5 now.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10At 25, any advance on £25?
0:41:10 > 0:41:15I'm selling at 25, any more for that?
0:41:15 > 0:41:17I'm selling at 25, commission bid at 25...
0:41:17 > 0:41:20- Gone.- Yes.- Well done, Anita.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23We have made a profit today on one item.
0:41:23 > 0:41:28Anyway, that's minus £90 and quite frankly, girls and boys,
0:41:28 > 0:41:31this could be a winning score, so don't talk to the Reds, all right?
0:41:31 > 0:41:32All right, then.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40- Well, teams, have we had a great day?- Brilliant time.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42We've had lots and lots of fun
0:41:42 > 0:41:46and there's tremendous similarities between our two teams today.
0:41:46 > 0:41:50- Both teams have made a substantial loss.- Oh, no.
0:41:50 > 0:41:51Both teams went with the Bonus Buy.
0:41:51 > 0:41:57Both teams made a £5 profit, but only on one object.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59That's where the similarities end.
0:41:59 > 0:42:03A great chasm opens up on the scale of losses,
0:42:03 > 0:42:05because the team with the runaway losses today,
0:42:05 > 0:42:07and therefore the runners-up,
0:42:07 > 0:42:09- are the Reds.- Oh, no!
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Oh, no. Sorry.
0:42:12 > 0:42:13Failed.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16HE LAUGHS
0:42:16 > 0:42:19All three of them.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21I guess...
0:42:21 > 0:42:26I guess, Alex, the worst moment in your life was the bracelet, yes?
0:42:26 > 0:42:30- The bracelet moment is my fault. - Minus £110 is a shocker, actually.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33- Awful.- I guess for you, Charles,
0:42:33 > 0:42:36the big puzzle is how your French maid didn't do so well.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39I can't believe it, she came, she delivered and didn't sell.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41- Unbelievable. - Good, well, we cracked that.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44I'm glad you had a wonderful time, anyway,
0:42:44 > 0:42:45we've loved having you on the show.
0:42:45 > 0:42:50Now we turn to the victors, who win by only managing to lose £90.
0:42:50 > 0:42:51We're still winners.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54Not so swift, actually.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56But at least you managed a small profit.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59Anita, well done, on your modernist bronze dancer.
0:42:59 > 0:43:03Therefore, you are minus £90, and are the winners of today's show.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05We have had a great programme.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07Join us soon for some more Bargain Hunting. Yes?
0:43:07 > 0:43:09ALL: Yes!
