0:00:02 > 0:00:03HE PLAYS A LIGHT-HEARTED TUNE
0:00:03 > 0:00:06They say all the world's a stage
0:00:06 > 0:00:11and the men and women on it are merely players.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13You'll see what I mean in a moment.
0:00:13 > 0:00:17In the meanwhile, let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:38 > 0:00:40We're incredibly generous on this programme.
0:00:40 > 0:00:45We give the teams not only time but money - £300 and one hour.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48And all we expect in return
0:00:48 > 0:00:50are three quality items.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Simple, innit?
0:00:56 > 0:00:58- PIANO STARTS PLAYING - Oh!
0:01:02 > 0:01:05'Our teams love a bit of drama.'
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Lancaster bomber. The home of the Dambusters.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13- Come on.- Yeah, we're coming.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16I've only got little legs! Wait for me!
0:01:17 > 0:01:21'So we've got an all-action thriller
0:01:21 > 0:01:23'from start to finish.'
0:01:27 > 0:01:29- Hello, everyone. - Hello.- Hello.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Now, Ian and Steve, you're brothers,
0:01:32 > 0:01:36- but, Ian, you're the thespian of the family.- Yes, that's right, Tim.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40With Lincoln Amateur Operatic Society,
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Phoenix, Hagen Happenings, Rugby Players.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- These are all theatre groups. - Yeah. I do a bit with each.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49What's your most memorable performance?
0:01:49 > 0:01:52I think that would have to be The Full Monty, Tim.
0:01:52 > 0:01:53Really?
0:01:53 > 0:01:56I actually stripped down every night
0:01:56 > 0:01:59to a leopard-skin thong.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- Was it attractive? - THEY thought so.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06- I had knickers thrown at me one night.- Did you?- Oh, yes.- Gosh!
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Now, what do you do in the day job?
0:02:08 > 0:02:13I'm a pastry chef at a local tea rooms, olde worlde tea rooms.
0:02:13 > 0:02:18- Have you been a chef all your life? - I've always been involved in catering in one way or another.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Brilliant.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24Now, Steve, you go to help Ian with his hog roasts and all that.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28Yes, that's right. Thoroughly enjoyable social events,
0:02:28 > 0:02:33from weddings to birthday parties, any party, any venue,
0:02:33 > 0:02:37me and him normally team up and we have a cracking good time.
0:02:37 > 0:02:43- Will you two be as successful with buying antiques today, do you think?- Oh, yes. Definitely.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48- We're going to whup 'em, Tim. - Whup 'em with one of your cakes. - Whup 'em with a whoopie pie.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52I think, between you, you'll do extremely well today. Very good luck.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Now for the Blues, Su and Carolyn,
0:02:55 > 0:02:59friends and looking like movie stars in your dark glasses.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Su, you're also connected with this thespian lark.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- That's right. - You belong to a theatre group.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09I'm a founder member of Common Ground Theatre Company.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10Ian also acts with us.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14- Ah, so there's a connection! - Oh, yes. Oh, yes.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Will all your theatrical talents help you with the shopping today?
0:03:18 > 0:03:21I hope so. I spend quite a lot of time looking out for props
0:03:21 > 0:03:25and things that look older than they are at quite a good price.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28So we're hoping that will stand us in good stead today.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31- What other things do you get up to in your spare time, Carolyn?- Erm...
0:03:31 > 0:03:34I like to help out at church when I can.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37We have a large housing estate
0:03:37 > 0:03:43which doesn't have a church near it and nowhere to hold a service.
0:03:43 > 0:03:48So the local pub was very happy for us to have a service
0:03:48 > 0:03:51there in the pub once a month on a Sunday.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53It's a lovely, relaxed environment,
0:03:53 > 0:03:56and afterwards in the bar they can have a drink and enjoy themselves.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00And how many are there in the congregation on these days?
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- I would think about... - Several thousand? - SHE LAUGHS
0:04:03 > 0:04:08- We haven't quite got there yet! - No, but you know what I mean.- Yes.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13- How many, though, seriously? - Probably about 60 people come.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17- I think that's an incredibly good idea.- Yes.- Well done with that.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Anyway, we're not going to give you any money for the collection plate,
0:04:21 > 0:04:26- but we are going to give you some money, £300 apiece.- Thank you.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30You know the rules. Your experts await. Off you go!
0:04:30 > 0:04:32And very very very good luck!
0:04:32 > 0:04:35I'm going down to the pub for a quick prayer.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39'Saying his own prayers for the Red team is David Harper.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46'For the Blues, it's our high priest of shopping, James Lewis.'
0:04:49 > 0:04:51What are we looking for today, chaps?
0:04:51 > 0:04:55- I like silver.- Good. - And glass. Watches.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59- Quirky? I like quirky.- A bit off the wall, maybe.- Brilliant.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Top of my list. Come on, then. Let's have a go.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07- What is that?- Let's have a look.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Yeah, it's been dropped.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Lancaster bomber. The home of the Dambusters.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- Hey, we're in the right area, are we not?- We are.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19- Oh, he's gorgeous! - Oh, look. Isn't he lovely?
0:05:21 > 0:05:26As a collector of Worcester or a specialist dealer in Worcester,
0:05:26 > 0:05:28that wouldn't be an issue.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Listen to that. It rings like a bell.
0:05:31 > 0:05:37- But you know what, chaps? I think it might be too good to put into a general sale.- A general auction.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40If we could choose to put that into a specialist sale,
0:05:40 > 0:05:44maybe in Worcester, at the right time, you'd make money.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47I think you've got a very good eye. Well spotted.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Beautiful stock. Thank you.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52'You've got an eye for quality, boys.'
0:05:56 > 0:05:57Ladies?
0:05:57 > 0:05:59- No. - HE LAUGHS
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- That's horr... I don't like it. - Don't you?- No. Sorry.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04It's a North of England glass dump.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- But remember, does it matter if you like it?- No, it doesn't.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11- Do I like it? No. - You don't like it either? - I think it's absolutely awful.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15But it is a good saleable object and there are collectors for them.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- It's £30.- £30?- £30.- Right.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- Is it heavy? - It's got some scratches there.
0:06:21 > 0:06:26- What's the very best you could do on it?- The very best is £25.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28- What do you think?- Hmm...
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- We're divided now. - Totally up to you.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- Do you want to leave it? - I'd rather leave it.- Do you?- Yeah.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37If it was, say, £20...
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Leave it for now. We'll remember where it is.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41OK. Thank you very much.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44'They're not hearing you, James.'
0:06:47 > 0:06:49What do you think about this one, David?
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Looks like some sort of... cooking implement.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54- Do you know what it is? - I'm not quite sure.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- Looks like that's a burner. - Is it an egg warmer?- Oh, very good.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01It is an egg warmer. Or egg coddler they're sometimes referred to.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05I suppose the clue is right on the top there.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08We've got a lovely chicken just about to sit on its eggs.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10If you take the lid off...
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Ah, right. You can see there's nothing inside.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15What should be there is a lid of some sort
0:07:15 > 0:07:18with three cut-outs to accept eggs.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20So what you do, you plonk the eggs in
0:07:20 > 0:07:23and then just keep it warm on the base.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27So, with it being incomplete, it's not really viable as such.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29It's not a good seller.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33What's on it? £24. It's not an expensive thing.
0:07:33 > 0:07:38As an item, it's cheap, but will it make any profit in auction?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Let's try and get the price down a bit.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- What do you want to get it to? - £18 realistic?- We could try £15.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47This is £24. Can you take £15?
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- I'll do £17.- £17?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51- Meet halfway. £16 and we're done.- No.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- Oh, go on! It's only a quid. - No. £17.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- £17. Do you want it for £17? - Yes, please. Thank you very much.
0:07:57 > 0:08:02- £17 I think...- Absolutely nothing wrong with that at all.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04It's a quirky thing. Well spotted.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07- Soldiers?- That's it, mate. - We'll do soldiers next.- Yeah.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- We'll have an early breakfast. How's that?- Nice to get one in.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15'Well, one in before breakfast. Well done.'
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Look at those.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25They wouldn't be my choice, but if there was a profit in it, they might be.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27They're not great quality, but they are a pair.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- What sort of age are they? - They're solid bronze. They're Chinese.
0:08:31 > 0:08:36- They're 1890 to 1920. - As old as that?
0:08:36 > 0:08:40And you've got the deity, the wise man riding the carp.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44- You've got birds on the neck of it. - They're cranes. Crowned cranes.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48- They're a sign, I think, of good luck and fertility.- Oh!
0:08:48 > 0:08:51I'd better put it down, then. HE LAUGHS
0:08:51 > 0:08:56- Cranes deliver babies, don't they? - Yes. Well, storks.- Storks. Well...
0:08:56 > 0:08:57A crane is pretty similar.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- What would be your best on this? - £40.- £40.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04I think he's being fair there.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08- But do I think there's a profit? No.- Right.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11'Probably best not to buy them, then.'
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- Let's risk it. - 'Hello.'
0:09:14 > 0:09:18- Will you take £35? And you've got a deal.- £38. Split the difference.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20- £38. Yes?- Yeah.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24- First one in the bag, then. - Takes the pressure off.- It does.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27- We can relax now. - Thank you very much, sir.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31'James, you need to get a grip of these two.'
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- Bye.- Bye-bye. Thank you.- Bye-bye.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38- James?- What is it? - Policeman's helmet.- Did you call me James?- Sorry. David.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- Do not call me James Lewis. - THEY LAUGH
0:09:44 > 0:09:46A surgeon's kit. That's quirky.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- Oh, yes.- I quite like that.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- Omega Seamaster, a well-known design. - Oh, yes. One of the better ones.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Didn't Lawrence of Arabia have an Omega?
0:09:57 > 0:10:03That's the sort of thing we have for our wardrobe, for the plays.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- That's rather a nice top hat. - It's a beauty.- How much is that?
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Now, I like that.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- I like to hear that.- I like that.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18'I think he likes that.'
0:10:18 > 0:10:23- Is it a scent bottle? - Yeah, it is. Birmingham, 1904.
0:10:23 > 0:10:29Someone has gone to the expense and the trouble of making a silver lid for it. It's a good quality item.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33So we've got a beautiful oriental lady painted on the front - is it painted?
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Or probably transferred, maybe with a bit of hand-colouring in there.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40So it's a gift for your loved one,
0:10:40 > 0:10:44in 1904, three years after Queen Victoria died,
0:10:44 > 0:10:46a different world altogether.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48You're holding something in your hands
0:10:48 > 0:10:52that was given from one lover to another.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- Not that I was giving it to you in that way.- Very nice of you.
0:10:55 > 0:11:00- What's the price on it, Ian? - It's £79.- What do you think?
0:11:00 > 0:11:02I think we could get off a bit.
0:11:02 > 0:11:07OK, let me try. I'll get the best trade price and come back to you.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Can you help us out in a big way on that one?
0:11:09 > 0:11:13All right, chaps. OK. The absolute death trade is £68.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15It's a delightful little thing.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Do you want it or don't you want it?
0:11:17 > 0:11:21- Yeah.- Yeah.- We'll go for that. - I'll go and get it.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26'They've found something they like,
0:11:26 > 0:11:28'and I've found a bit of a puzzle.'
0:11:30 > 0:11:34We do see some peculiar things on Bargain Hunt,
0:11:34 > 0:11:36but I don't think I've ever had to film
0:11:36 > 0:11:40quite such an oddball or enormous object as this.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44What I need is a series producer to give me a hand.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- Morning, Kimberley. - Good morning, Timothy.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50If I unravel it a bit,
0:11:50 > 0:11:54in this first section the map which unfolds
0:11:54 > 0:11:57depicts Egypt, over here,
0:11:57 > 0:11:59the Red Sea,
0:11:59 > 0:12:00the Suez Canal,
0:12:00 > 0:12:04which was opened in November 1869.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08So this thing couldn't have been made before 1869,
0:12:08 > 0:12:11but I'd guess it was produced just shortly thereafter.
0:12:12 > 0:12:18This meandering of red trails that you see across the Sinai Peninsula
0:12:18 > 0:12:21represents the trail of the Israelites
0:12:21 > 0:12:25at various moments in the Old Testament.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29If I continue unravelling this scroll,
0:12:29 > 0:12:33we move from that part of the Middle East
0:12:33 > 0:12:38into a scene which depicts a moment in the Old Testament
0:12:38 > 0:12:40when there is an encampment.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44And next door to that is a temple itself,
0:12:44 > 0:12:49entitled The Glories Of The Cross and The Glories Of The Throne.
0:12:49 > 0:12:54If we continue a little further, we've got another tented enclosure
0:12:54 > 0:13:01before we get to a piece with one of those multi-armed candlesticks
0:13:01 > 0:13:04and a figure in a white robe at an altar
0:13:04 > 0:13:11and at the end a figure that I guess is probably Abraham.
0:13:11 > 0:13:16At this moment, I am about 12 feet away from Kimberley.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- How are you doing, darling? - I'm fine, thank you, Tim.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22Now, I'm no great student of the Old Testament,
0:13:22 > 0:13:24don't get me wrong,
0:13:24 > 0:13:28but I find this thing absolutely fascinating.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30But there's another side to it.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32I've got to roll it up and it's very long.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Beautifully done, sir.
0:13:36 > 0:13:41Now we'll change positions. So change around here. Good.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43We do a little switch like that,
0:13:43 > 0:13:47and - hey, presto - the operation continues.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54Look at that. Isn't that extraordinary?
0:13:54 > 0:13:57On the reverse side of the painted paper surface
0:13:57 > 0:14:01we've got a further painting of a Jewish timeline
0:14:01 > 0:14:05which takes us from Adam and Noah
0:14:05 > 0:14:10through a series of dates and educative moments
0:14:10 > 0:14:12in the Jewish faith.
0:14:12 > 0:14:17In short, this enormous scroll, I guess, was produced
0:14:17 > 0:14:22for some sort of Jewish Sunday school to teach children.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Amazing thing, isn't it?
0:14:24 > 0:14:26What's an object like this worth?
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Well, I'll have a quick think about this
0:14:29 > 0:14:31while I reel in Kimberley.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38There. I feel better for that.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41What do you think this might be worth, Kimberley?
0:14:41 > 0:14:43I've got absolutely no idea.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Do you know something? Nor have I.
0:14:46 > 0:14:51All I know is that you could buy it for £100 over in the fair.
0:14:51 > 0:14:56What might you get for it were you to sell it to a Jewish institution?
0:14:56 > 0:14:59The Lord alone knows.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06We've had 30 minutes, chaps, by the way.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10Two items down. You're doing well, but I don't want you relaxing.
0:15:14 > 0:15:19'Now, James, are the Blue team listening to you yet?'
0:15:19 > 0:15:20In theory, after 32 minutes
0:15:20 > 0:15:24we should have at least had two or three things in mind
0:15:24 > 0:15:26even if we haven't bought them.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28At the moment we've got that glass dump.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Didn't buy it because they didn't like it.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34But, having said that, they didn't like the vases
0:15:34 > 0:15:36but bought them because they were a bargain.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39At the end of the day, this is Bargain Hunt.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41'That's the idea.'
0:15:41 > 0:15:45- How much is the stand, please? - £100.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50- We're finding all the expensive things.- Yeah.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52- A child's high chair.- OK.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56Which morphs into a table or something like that.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58- Is that mahogany? - It looks like mahogany.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02It could be beech that's been polished to look like mahogany.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06- Tell me how old it is.- Beech is even better.- No, mahogany's better.
0:16:06 > 0:16:07- Really?- Yeah.
0:16:07 > 0:16:12- Turn of the century?- Turn of which century?- Oh. 1910? 1915?
0:16:12 > 0:16:16- Yeah. It's a good quality one. I like the cane seats.- Yes.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20That probably won't be original, but it doesn't matter.
0:16:20 > 0:16:21It's there, and it sits well.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24- How much is it? - SELLER:- £260.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28All right, leave that one with us. Thanks.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31- £260?- Yeah.- A bit much.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32It's not children, either.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38- What's that you've found, James? - Have a look. See what you think.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42It says "England", so I'm guessing it's English.
0:16:42 > 0:16:43'Brilliant!'
0:16:43 > 0:16:46It's Doulton.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49It's 1890-1900
0:16:49 > 0:16:50and it's silicon ware.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53It isn't that popular, I have to be honest,
0:16:53 > 0:16:59but it's a good name, it's a nice early period, the condition is OK.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01- I like that.- Yeah, it's nice.
0:17:01 > 0:17:06- What sort of price is that? - What sort of price would you think?
0:17:06 > 0:17:08- £20?- £30?
0:17:08 > 0:17:13Between you, I think that's exactly what it's worth. £20 to £30.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- £5?- Could be a deal, then. - A fiver it is.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20- Shall we splash out £5? - I think so.- Are you sure? - We're running out of time.
0:17:20 > 0:17:25- I'll blame you when Tim says you've only spent £43.- I know. - It'll leave more for you.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27- THEY LAUGH - I'm normally the tight one!
0:17:33 > 0:17:35What about this one, David?
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Tell me what it is.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Well... that looks like a bit of tortoiseshell to me.
0:17:40 > 0:17:45- It's probably faux tortoiseshell. - SELLER:- It's Japanese lacquer, and it's a cigar case.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- Date-wise, it might be 1920s. - Really?
0:17:49 > 0:17:53That is a really lovely thing. And in good order, too.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55£78. Is that a realistic price for it?
0:17:55 > 0:17:59- It couldn't be £40, could it? - No.- I knew it couldn't. I was just asking.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03It won't be £50 either. I'll do £60 for you. It's a good quality piece.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Halfway? £55?
0:18:05 > 0:18:07£55 and you've got a deal.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10- Good man.- Thank you very much.
0:18:10 > 0:18:15Good bit of negotiating there, boys. Thanks very much.
0:18:15 > 0:18:20- Beautiful thing. Good eye. - We like beautiful things. - We do love beautiful things.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- That's lovely.- We're here. - That's it, then, bro.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32'Come on, ladies! Time's nearly up!
0:18:33 > 0:18:37- 'Have you got any ideas at all, James?' - Anything we should go back for?
0:18:37 > 0:18:40MUSIC: "Air On A G String" by Johann Sebastian Bach
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Hmm...
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Follow me.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49UPBEAT MUSIC
0:18:58 > 0:19:00- Come on.- Yeah, we're coming.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02I've only got little legs! Wait for me!
0:19:03 > 0:19:08- Hello, hello. - We're running out of time. - Are you? On a limit?- Yes.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Pair of bronze figures of...
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Africans.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14What do you think?
0:19:14 > 0:19:15- Are they to have candles?- Yes.
0:19:15 > 0:19:20- The great thing about these is they're a pair.- Quite stylish.- Yes.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- Bit of damage there. Look. - There is a bit of wear.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27They're solid bronze, they're 70 to 100 years old,
0:19:27 > 0:19:29they're practical, they're decorative.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31There should be a profit in them.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35Now, is there anything else you'd like to show us?
0:19:35 > 0:19:39- Only that.- OK.- I just think there's a bit of mileage in it.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Is it a corner shelf? Because it's lost its...
0:19:42 > 0:19:45- It's got a few losses to it. - Time.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49Do you think... better punt on the bronzes?
0:19:49 > 0:19:50Well...
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Which do you prefer?
0:19:52 > 0:19:54This.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57I can't really decide, but I'll go with this.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03- Let's see what the crew thinks. - Yes.- Which do you prefer?
0:20:03 > 0:20:07- CREW:- The figures.- Figures. - It's all the experience.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11- Figures? Figures. 3-2 to the figures.- Go with the figures.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13- Grovel.- Grovel time. Please...?
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Real grovel, grovel, grovel.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19- Look, they cost £45. - 50 quid and you've got a deal.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21- As it's you... - Brilliant! Thank you very much.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23- Do you agree?- Yes, yes.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29The curtain has fallen. Time's up!
0:20:30 > 0:20:32'Let's take a look at what the Reds bought.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37'They kicked off the day by going to work on an egg warmer,
0:20:37 > 0:20:40'which cost just £17.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41'Must be a double-yolker.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43'They got a loving feeling
0:20:43 > 0:20:47'when they spotted the heart-shaped scent bottle. Mm!
0:20:47 > 0:20:48'And slowly but surely
0:20:48 > 0:20:55'they managed to find a faux tortoiseshell cigar case for £55.'
0:20:56 > 0:20:59- So, chaps, how are you doing? - Finished. All done.- Really?
0:20:59 > 0:21:04- And how much did you spend all round?- £140, I think.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07- £140.- Everybody happy with £140?- Yeah.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- Who's got the £160 left-over lolly? - Steve's got it.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Have you got that, Steve?
0:21:12 > 0:21:17- No, YOU'VE got it.- You look a bit confused.- Haven't you got it?- No. - I haven't got the money. You have.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Well done, Ian. Lovely.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23This is what you call teamwork. £160. Super duper.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27- That is going straight across to my friend, David Harper. - Thank you, Tim.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31- You're going off on the prowl. - I'll do a bit of prowling and see you two later.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Very good luck with that. Very nice to see you.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38- Has David done you well today? - Oh, very well.- Very well.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40He's gone, so you can say what you like.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42No, honestly, he's done well.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46- Guided us. - Put us in the right direction. - That's all you need, isn't it?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Very good luck, chaps. We'll catch up with you later.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Right now, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought?
0:21:54 > 0:21:57'Su and Carolyn threw caution to the wind
0:21:57 > 0:22:01'and chose a pair of oriental vases they didn't like.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05'But they loved the £5 price tag on the 19th century ewer,
0:22:05 > 0:22:07'which was a sale bargain.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09'And in the end they took James's advice
0:22:09 > 0:22:15'and bought two Nubian figure candlesticks for £50. Nice!'
0:22:16 > 0:22:20- Rumour has it that you didn't spend very much. What was the total?- £93.
0:22:20 > 0:22:26- £93. That is truly pathetic.- Yes. - We tried.- Not hard enough, I'd say.
0:22:26 > 0:22:31- Do we have £207 somewhere?- We do. Would you like it?- Yes, please.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35- There we are. - £205...- And there's £2.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39- There we go. Well, £207.- Super. - That's a huge amount to pass over.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42I don't think I've given you quite so much for a bonus buy.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Are you going to blow it on one single object, I hope?
0:22:45 > 0:22:49- Hamburger and chips, I think. - THEY LAUGH - I'm starving!
0:22:49 > 0:22:51- Any idea, seriously? - No. Well, yes.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53I've seen one thing that I really like.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57We'll stand by and see you later. Good luck, James. Good luck, girls.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00We're going to head off now to a faraway place.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03It's called Londinium.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08To be precise,
0:23:08 > 0:23:13I'm taking you to visit 18 Stafford Terrace in West Kensington.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17This was the home of Edward Linley Sambourne,
0:23:17 > 0:23:21a celebrated cartoonist who worked for the magazine Punch.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27The Victorian interiors haven't changed
0:23:27 > 0:23:31since Sambourne lived here 100 years ago.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39Linley Sambourne started off his working life
0:23:39 > 0:23:43as a draughtsman in an engineering company.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47And It wasn't until his father died in 1866
0:23:47 > 0:23:50his work was picked up by the Punch magazine,
0:23:50 > 0:23:57which was a highly popular weekly satirical threepenny magazine.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59If I flip through these pages,
0:23:59 > 0:24:04you can see that it's densely illustrated with cartoons
0:24:04 > 0:24:10that would have been produced by a tribe of house artists,
0:24:10 > 0:24:14of which Sambourne became one.
0:24:15 > 0:24:21If we look at this framed example of his early work from 1869,
0:24:21 > 0:24:24you can see scattered through a year
0:24:24 > 0:24:27some of the themes that he illustrated.
0:24:27 > 0:24:32Political problems in the Far East are shown in a cartoon
0:24:32 > 0:24:37with these characters sailing along in a china teapot.
0:24:37 > 0:24:42Over here, we've got an argument about how big the navy should be,
0:24:42 > 0:24:47and here's Mr Punch on an armoured float.
0:24:47 > 0:24:52And over here, the usual battle going on in the Exchequer,
0:24:52 > 0:24:58with expenditure battling it out with rising taxes,
0:24:58 > 0:25:03all in the form of a multi-headed Hydra serpent.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05All very good fun.
0:25:05 > 0:25:10But some of Sambourne's cartoons later on in his career
0:25:10 > 0:25:13were rather larger and more important,
0:25:13 > 0:25:18like that one on the wall, which he produced to celebrate
0:25:18 > 0:25:24the new millennium magazine at the very beginning of the 20th century.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28Here we've got an old-man figure of time
0:25:28 > 0:25:33ushering in the bright new century in the form of a young girl
0:25:33 > 0:25:37holding a lamp illuminated by science
0:25:37 > 0:25:43and accompanied, on a great pile of earlier Punch editions,
0:25:43 > 0:25:47by Mr Punch himself dressed as a cherub.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00Sambourne's talents were not just confined to the satirical.
0:26:00 > 0:26:05In another bedroom is something altogether more charming.
0:26:20 > 0:26:25There's one particular book which Linley Sambourne is associated with
0:26:25 > 0:26:30and that's the Reverend Charles Kingsley's Water Babies,
0:26:30 > 0:26:36a classic of children's literature which was written in the mid-1860s
0:26:36 > 0:26:39and illustrated throughout by Linley Sambourne.
0:26:39 > 0:26:45In fact, there are over 100 line engravings in the volume itself,
0:26:46 > 0:26:51and in this room we've got a series of the original pen-and-ink works
0:26:51 > 0:26:55done by Sambourne for the Water Babies editions.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59If you look closely,
0:26:59 > 0:27:05the density of fine pen-and-ink lines in the original work itself
0:27:05 > 0:27:06is extraordinary.
0:27:06 > 0:27:11It's great fun to find an original on the wall - for example, there -
0:27:11 > 0:27:14and here, in the book itself.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18The big question today is, of course,
0:27:18 > 0:27:22is it going to be child's play over at the auction?
0:27:24 > 0:27:27'Welcome to Golding Young auction rooms in Grantham.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30'We're about to meet auctioneer Colin Young.
0:27:30 > 0:27:35'But first I want to see what David Harper found for his bonus buy.'
0:27:37 > 0:27:42- Now, Ian and Steve, you spent £140. - Oh, we had fun doing that.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Yes, you certainly did, Ian.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47And you gave the boy £160. What did he spend it on? David?
0:27:47 > 0:27:50- Right. Are you ready, chaps? - Go on, then.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53- I think you might just like these. - Oh!- Tell me what you think.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56- What are they? - Masonic cufflinks?- Yes.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59- Are these silver?- No, they're some kind of white metal.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02What I liked about them is they're not brand-spankers.
0:28:02 > 0:28:07- Are they enamelled?- Yes, so they're not just painted on or printed on.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10So they're anonymous, they're not silver,
0:28:10 > 0:28:14- but they are enamel on nickel, probably.- Or some kind of metal.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17- Some sort of metal. - Which means they were good quality.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20I think they're circa mid-20th century, 1950s.
0:28:20 > 0:28:25- Price-wise?- Here we go. - Straight into the money.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27- Cheap. Eight quid.- Oh!
0:28:27 > 0:28:30- Eight quid? - I think they were very very cheap.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34- So nine quid, they'd make a profit. - Absolutely. It won't take much to make a profit on these.
0:28:34 > 0:28:39If someone spots them for what they are, very good quality, they might make 20 quid.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41They're not going to set the world on fire,
0:28:41 > 0:28:45but I thought they were good examples of what they are.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48Brilliant. Well, we got it there. Thank you very much, David.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52But for viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54- A pair of cufflinks.- Thank you.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57Nice pair of cufflinks. Plenty of buyers will go for them.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00- The estimate is £10 to £30.- Is it?
0:29:00 > 0:29:03£8 paid. There's going to be a profit.
0:29:03 > 0:29:08But it's so strange having enamel on nickel rather than on silver.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10Going through that process,
0:29:10 > 0:29:12it wouldn't cost much more to put it onto silver,
0:29:12 > 0:29:14so you'd have thought they would.
0:29:14 > 0:29:19Well, for Ian and Steve, Steve went very strongly on this egg boiler,
0:29:19 > 0:29:24except it hasn't got its burner or the divisions inside for the eggs.
0:29:24 > 0:29:28- Apart from that...- Apart from that, it's perfect, I suppose.- Yes.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31I did notice the negatives with it
0:29:31 > 0:29:33and put an estimate of £30 to £50
0:29:33 > 0:29:36- bearing that in mind.- Really?
0:29:36 > 0:29:41But now you've put it in an equally bad light, perhaps that's too high.
0:29:41 > 0:29:46They paid £17, which is a pretty hard-boiled price.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49Next is a much better object, I'm glad to say,
0:29:49 > 0:29:53which is this sweet little scent flask.
0:29:53 > 0:29:57Interesting printing technique on that, partly photographic.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00It is. It's photographic based and then applied,
0:30:00 > 0:30:06a fairly common technique that was used on pieces from 1870 onwards.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09I would hope, estimate-wise, we're looking at £30 to £50.
0:30:09 > 0:30:14The team paid £68, so based on your estimate they'll be disappointed.
0:30:14 > 0:30:19What about this faux tortoiseshell, otherwise known as plastic, cigar case?
0:30:19 > 0:30:23Yes... Not a lot is really what I think to it.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26It's had some damage, which has been repaired.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29The repair to the damage goes over the image.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32There's not many positives that you can take from it.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36So I've put a little punt of £10 to £30 as an estimate.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Oh, Lordy. £55 they paid.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues, Su and Carolyn.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45Their first item are these truly hideous Chinese vases.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48- You don't like them much, do you? - Not much, no.
0:30:48 > 0:30:53I've seen them disastrously perform over the years on Bargain Hunt
0:30:53 > 0:30:56and they would be the last thing I'd buy.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Yeah, I know what you mean.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01- What's your estimate? - I've put £50 to £80 on them.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05- Perhaps I would buy them for £38. - Right, OK. - THEY CHUCKLE
0:31:05 > 0:31:08But at £38. It's a very reasonable buy for £38.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11Seriously, I don't like them, but for £38
0:31:11 > 0:31:14they are bronze, they're not spelter, they're in reasonable nick.
0:31:14 > 0:31:19Next is the little Doulton multi-coloured silicon ware,
0:31:19 > 0:31:21- which is nice, isn't it? - It is, yeah.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24The sale has quite a bit of silicon ware in already
0:31:24 > 0:31:27and the Doulton buyers will be here,
0:31:27 > 0:31:29so it will perform to its market level.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31And I wonder what that's going to be.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34Well, will it be more than £5, do you think?
0:31:34 > 0:31:37I would hope so. We've put an estimate of £10 to £30 on it.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41Fair enough because they only paid a fiver and that's cheap enough.
0:31:41 > 0:31:46James steered them towards the African candleholders.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50That makes them interesting, the very African subject matter.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52But they're very badly cast.
0:31:52 > 0:31:57Yeah, not the finest quality, but subject matter-wise, excellent.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00- There's going to be plenty of people wanting them.- Lovely.
0:32:00 > 0:32:05- Estimate?- £50 to £80. - Very good. £50 paid.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08So, overall, they've paid very modest amounts,
0:32:08 > 0:32:11they've got reasonable estimates on all three items,
0:32:11 > 0:32:13so they should be in the pound seats.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15They should be in the plus.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18But in case not, let's go and have a look at their bonus buy.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22Girls, you spent £93,
0:32:22 > 0:32:26- one of the most notoriously miserable amounts on Bargain Hunt. - THEY GIGGLE
0:32:26 > 0:32:31- We tried. - You gave him £207 to spend.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33James, what did you blow it on?
0:32:33 > 0:32:35OK.
0:32:36 > 0:32:40- Oh, that's lovely!- I like that! - Brilliant. - HE LAUGHS
0:32:40 > 0:32:43- We were looking at things like this.- We like pewter.
0:32:43 > 0:32:47I knew you liked pewter and I knew you liked things like that
0:32:47 > 0:32:51- because you were looking at them. - It's gorgeous.- Yes.- Have a look.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53The inkwells are loose.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56- Everything's loose.- Yeah. - SU AND CAROLYN LAUGH
0:32:56 > 0:32:59- Look - a parrot on the top!- I think it's lovely.- Isn't that super!
0:32:59 > 0:33:02- A little parrot.- I love the detail.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04- Can we take it home? - THEY LAUGH
0:33:04 > 0:33:06How much did you pay?
0:33:06 > 0:33:10We looked at inkstands and they were all quite expensive today.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12What would you have expected that to be?
0:33:12 > 0:33:14£50, £60, £70?
0:33:14 > 0:33:15Ooh...
0:33:15 > 0:33:19- £130?- Yes, I'm liking that much more!- I'm just mean.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21- Well, it was £45.- Really?
0:33:21 > 0:33:25- £45? That's a bargain. - I thought it was a bargain.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27How much do you think it's going to make?
0:33:27 > 0:33:30I'm hoping...
0:33:30 > 0:33:33£80 to £100. That's what I'm hoping for.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35- Yes.- It's just gorgeous.
0:33:35 > 0:33:36Anyway, for the audience at home,
0:33:36 > 0:33:41let's find out whether James is indeed still top of the class.
0:33:43 > 0:33:44Wow!
0:33:44 > 0:33:46That's a substantial inkwell.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50- Quite showy with the green.- It is. Lovely emerald colour to them.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53Contrasts very well with the base metal.
0:33:53 > 0:33:58I suppose it's more of a pewter or Britannia metal base to it.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01- Very nice item. - What's the estimate?
0:34:01 > 0:34:05Well, estimate-wise I've put on it £50 to £80.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08I think that's going to have quite a bit of appeal.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11James Lewis only paid £45. He's cunning.
0:34:11 > 0:34:16With any luck, he'll make a profit on his bonus buy - if the team decide to go with it.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18And that's where it gets exciting.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22- Are you taking the sale today, Colin?- I will indeed. - We're in safe hands.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28Sell at £440.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33- Well, you half-brothers, how are you feeling? - We're confident.
0:34:33 > 0:34:39- Confident we might, maybe.- Perhaps. - Fairly confident, perhaps.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43- First up is your egg boiler. - Let's go to work on an egg.
0:34:43 > 0:34:47There we go with the eagle mount. What shall we say? £50, anybody?
0:34:47 > 0:34:49£30 to go? £30?

0:35:41 > 0:35:45Two as a last call? Then we'll sell at the back at £70.
0:35:45 > 0:35:46£72, fresh bidder.

0:35:50 > 0:35:52£72 is plus £4,
0:35:52 > 0:35:55which means you are plus £47.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58- One more profit and we get a pin. - Yes.
0:35:58 > 0:35:59- A pen?- A pin.
0:35:59 > 0:36:03You'd get the golden gavel - except we haven't got them any more.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06A Japanese faux tortoiseshell pocket cigar case.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08This time who is going to start me at £30?
0:36:08 > 0:36:10£20 then, surely? £20, anyone?
0:36:11 > 0:36:12£20?
0:36:12 > 0:36:14£10? Oh, come on.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17We're already in at £12. At £12 bid. £15 or not now?

0:36:39 > 0:36:45Minus £37. You were plus £47, now you are plus £10.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48What are you going to do about the cufflinks?
0:36:48 > 0:36:50- Go for it.- We'll go for it.
0:36:50 > 0:36:54- You're into profit anyway, worst-case scenario.- Yes.
0:36:54 > 0:36:55What a roller coaster, eh?
0:36:55 > 0:36:59- Are you going with the bonus buy? - Definitely.- Here are the cufflinks.

0:37:43 > 0:37:46£42 is very nice.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49That is plus £34.
0:37:49 > 0:37:54Plus the £10 you had before, you have plus £44 smackers there.
0:37:54 > 0:37:55Oh! Very nice.
0:38:06 > 0:38:11- So, girls, have you been talking to your friends, the boys? - Absolutely not.- Not at all, no.
0:38:11 > 0:38:15You've had no theatrical discussions with them on their way out?
0:38:15 > 0:38:18- No. No miming.- No miming. - No miming?- Nothing at all.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20- No lip-reading or anything like that?- No.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24- Body language is very good. - Oh, I see. Very good.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27First up are your Chinese vases. Here they come.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29Who is going to start me at £50?
0:38:29 > 0:38:32£30 to go, then, surely? £30, anybody?
0:38:32 > 0:38:35£20 to go, then, surely? £20?
0:38:35 > 0:38:37£20 I'm bid. £25 anywhere else?

0:38:54 > 0:38:58£28. That's minus £10. That's bad luck. Dear, oh dear.

0:39:20 > 0:39:22- He's trying hard.- Yes.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24- £10 is plus £5. - Well, it's a profit.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26So overall you're minus £5, girls.
0:39:26 > 0:39:31Lot number 1237 is a pair of early-20th century bronze figures.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34Who is going to start me at £100?

0:39:57 > 0:39:59£22. £25 now?
0:39:59 > 0:40:02At £22 bid. £25 anywhere else now?
0:40:02 > 0:40:06At £22 bid. Going at £22.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08- Oh, my goodness.- £22 is...
0:40:08 > 0:40:09minus £33.
0:40:09 > 0:40:13- Pretty gloomy. Not a good result. - That is dire.- Not a right result.
0:40:13 > 0:40:17- But anyway, there it is. It just depends on who's here.- Yes.
0:40:17 > 0:40:18What about the inkstand?
0:40:18 > 0:40:22- It could seriously save your bacon. - Go for it.- We really like it.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26- We trust the instincts and we'd go for it.- You trust the instincts.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29- It's your tummy that tells you, isn't it?- Yes.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32- Are you sure?- Yes. - We're going with it, yes?- Yes.
0:40:32 > 0:40:36- We're going with the bonus buy. Here comes the encrier.- Go for it.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39- COLIN:- A 19th-century French rococo inkstand.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42Good cast metal base with emerald-green glass wells.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44Ought to be well over £100.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46It should be well over £100.
0:40:46 > 0:40:47£50? £30?
0:40:47 > 0:40:49£30 to go? £30 I'm bid.

0:41:08 > 0:41:11Second row has it, selling at £50.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13£50 is a profit of £5.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16Well done, James. That's perfectly respectable.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19That means overall you are minus £28.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21Minus £28 could be a winning score.
0:41:21 > 0:41:25- Don't say a word to your friendly boys.- Absolutely not.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28- We'll stay mum about this. - We will.- Well done, girls.
0:41:39 > 0:41:43Well, our band of happy strolling players, how are you? All right?
0:41:43 > 0:41:46THEY ALL REPLY IN THE AFFIRMATIVE
0:41:46 > 0:41:50- I know you're all great mates, but have you been chatting about the scores?- No.- No.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52Not at all? That's great.
0:41:52 > 0:41:57Actually, the scores are what they call in the trade poles apart.
0:41:57 > 0:42:02I can hardly believe the chasm that has opened up between these two teams.
0:42:02 > 0:42:06But, sadly for the Blues, not handy.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08RED TEAM CHEERS
0:42:09 > 0:42:12The overall score for the Blues is minus £28,
0:42:12 > 0:42:15- which is a shame, isn't it? - Yeah, it was.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17I think, frankly, you was robbed.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20- We was.- We were. Absolutely robbed.
0:42:20 > 0:42:24- But you're British, right?- Yes. - You can take it on the chin.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27There's always another performance tomorrow, isn't there?
0:42:27 > 0:42:30- Anyway, have you had a nice time? - A fantastic time.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33We've loved having you on the show.
0:42:33 > 0:42:39- But I'm afraid, to your chagrin, I am going to give £44 out.- Ooh!
0:42:39 > 0:42:42That is the chasm between you.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45£44. There's your £40, there's your £4, which is brilliant.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Well done, Dave.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49- Have you had a good time?- Smashing.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52Join us soon for some more bargain hunting. Yes?
0:42:52 > 0:42:53ALL: Yes!
