0:00:05 > 0:00:09If today's Bargain Hunt was being made into a Hollywood classic,
0:00:09 > 0:00:14would it be called the Colour Of Money or maybe Black Beauty?
0:00:14 > 0:00:15Ha-ha!
0:00:15 > 0:00:18Either way, we're looking for a box-office smash
0:00:18 > 0:00:21so let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Welcome to the Mona Showground in Anglesey. Coming up...
0:00:51 > 0:00:55..best friends Gail and Wendy pile on the pressure.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57If we don't make a profit, it's your fault.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58THEY LAUGH
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Father and daughter George and Clare tell it like it is.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06- Let's have a look at this fellow. That's Japanese.- It's very ugly.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07Yes, it is.
0:01:08 > 0:01:1095...100.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13And the contest gets ugly over at the auction.
0:01:18 > 0:01:23The rules are simple. The challenge is not.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Our teams each have an hour and £300
0:01:26 > 0:01:30to source three items to sell on later at auction.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Let's meet today's stars of the show.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- Hello, everyone.- Hello.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- And on the Red team today we've got Gail and Wendy. Hi, girls.- Hi.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- Gail, how did you two meet? - We met in a local supermarket.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Wendy was a cashier and, as I was going through, she said,
0:01:48 > 0:01:50" Oh, you're the lady that's moved up the road from me."
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Nothing moves in your village then.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Nothing at all. No, it's very boring.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58So you kept up with one another.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02- 22 years.- 22 years?- Best friends. Yes, more like sisters than friends.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06- Isn't that lovely, out of a chance supermarket meeting?- Yes.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Lovely. Wendy, what's your approach to finding
0:02:09 > 0:02:10a bargain when you're out and about?
0:02:10 > 0:02:15Oh, I'm a rummager. I tend to find boxes and go through them,
0:02:15 > 0:02:19- empty boxes.- Any old boxes? - Any old box will do!
0:02:19 > 0:02:23- Are we talking all actions, car boots, what are we talking? - Everything.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Have you got a strategy between you for today's show?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Yes, to buy something that doesn't cost a lot
0:02:29 > 0:02:30that we can get a good profit on.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32So you're intending to spend as little as possible?
0:02:32 > 0:02:34As little as possible for a good profit.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Seems to me you've got the right idea.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40There are going to be quaking over here. George, are you quaking?
0:02:40 > 0:02:44- No, not yet.- Not at all, because you've got a passion for antiques, haven't you?- Yes.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- What do you get up to? - We go around the car boot sales
0:02:47 > 0:02:50and charity shops with my grandson.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54We look to see if there any bargains around and if we see one, we get it.
0:02:54 > 0:03:01- What sorts of things have you bought?- Well, mostly figurines, Royal Doulton, Coalport.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Anything old and beautiful.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07- Just like my wife.- God bless her.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12Now, you and your boy, Clare, have picked up George's love of antiques.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14- That's right.- Tell us about that.
0:03:14 > 0:03:19Sometimes he gives good advice but he took my son to the auction
0:03:19 > 0:03:22and told him to buy two World War Two aircraft paintings,
0:03:22 > 0:03:24he said, "They're oil paintings."
0:03:24 > 0:03:28- And when we got them home, they weren't. They were prints.- Oh dear.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30But my son was still happy with them.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33So not 100% reliable, George, in your advice?
0:03:33 > 0:03:35- No, no, no.- No.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39Is it your intention to make a huge profit today too on Bargain Hunt?
0:03:39 > 0:03:40Oh yes, definitely.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Oh, fighting talk here. Now the money moment.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45- There's your £300.- Thanks very much. - You know the rules.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Your experts await. And off you go.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49Very, very, very good luck.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Ready and waiting for the Red team, Mark Stacey.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Planning ahead for the Blues, Jeremy Lamond.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- What's our strategy for the day, do you think?- Good bargains.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Something that catches the eye.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13But the key word for us is what?
0:04:13 > 0:04:15- Bargains.- And fun.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- Oh yes.- Yes, I think we are going to have a lot of fun.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25So, George and Clare,
0:04:25 > 0:04:28what's our tactics? What do we want to do?
0:04:28 > 0:04:31- Anything quirky. - Yes, something different, unusual.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Where we can buy them cheap and sell them dear.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Now, that's a strategy, George.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39That's quite interesting, isn't it? This is a 19th-century one.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43With these, always look at the price first.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Oh, there's no price on there.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47He has put the name, William Smith and Co.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Now those are about mid-19th century. 1850 or so.
0:04:50 > 0:04:55- Actually, I quite like that.- It's lovely, isn't it?- It's different.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57- It goes with my... - I love that, actually.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59- Do you like it? - I love it. I really do.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01What about you?
0:05:01 > 0:05:03- Not too sure. I'd like to have a look around first.- OK.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07- Can we have a look around first? - Absolutely. Of course we can.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11- We can come back and see if we can knock him down a bit.- Absolutely.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Well, there is plenty of time ... for now.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Look, let's get our skates on.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21THEY LAUGH
0:05:21 > 0:05:23I should have thought of that, Jeremy.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26I think I had some of those when I was younger.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- These are Batman skates, aren't they? Look at those.- Oh yes, yes.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32These'll get you going.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34I suppose we could stop clowning about.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35THEY LAUGH
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Oh dear, viewers, I can only apologise.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- Quite fun, isn't it?- Yes. - Little shell dish?
0:05:41 > 0:05:45- £18.- It's Royal Worcester. See the mark there?- Yeah.- Yes.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47It's very plain.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51- It's quite nice, dainty, but, you know...- Plain can be good, you know.
0:05:51 > 0:05:56- ..it's not to my taste, but it is nice.- Will it be to the buyers' taste?- Yes.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Because Royal Worcester is a good name, isn't it?- It is, yeah.
0:05:59 > 0:06:04- No?- Um, something we can think about.- OK.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09- # This indecision's buggin' me - Esta undecision me molesta
0:06:09 > 0:06:11# If you don't want me set me free... #
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Jeremy, can you just look at these?
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Can you get more quirky than that?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Well, yeah, this is a little page marker, isn't it,
0:06:19 > 0:06:23in the form of a knife? You can see, you put that on the page.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25A little Victorian one, isn't it?
0:06:25 > 0:06:29- It is. If you check the patent number...- Oh, it's got a patent number.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33- Just under the string... - It's around about 1880.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35What do you think of those? You've the pair of them.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37- What's the price?- Is that 12 the pair?
0:06:41 > 0:06:45- £15 for the pair.- For the pair.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47If you can't make a profit on that...
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- They're great, George, that's a good buy.- CLARE:- I like those.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54- It's quirky. Shall we go for that? - Yes, please.- We'll have those.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- Number one buy.- That's £15, yeah?
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Shake on it? That's if you don't drop your guitar.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01He's going to drop his guitar.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- There you go. - Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08The Blues are off. George is sticking to the plan.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10First quirky item bagged.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- That was a good first buy. - I think it was marvellous.
0:07:15 > 0:07:21- If we didn't make a profit on those, we would be unlucky, I think.- Let's hope.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Time for the rabbit's foot then, Jeremy.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27I hope the Reds aren't relying on luck.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- How much is that?- Asking 35 on that.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- It's Victorian.- Silver-plated?- No.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36- Oh, silver, is it?- The mark's a bit rubbed as far as the date's concerned...- Sorry.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40I've got a little magic aid here. I forgot my normal eyeglass
0:07:40 > 0:07:43so I'm going to look a bit like Inspector Clouseau.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Oh yes, the marks. You can just see Victoria's head, can't you?
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- Yeah.- And the other marks. - There's an N.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52If it's Chester, I think it's 1878,
0:07:52 > 0:07:55if it's Birmingham, it's 1880 something.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- I think it's probably from a little bachelor's tea set.- Right.
0:07:58 > 0:08:04A single teapot, with a small cream jug and a small sugar bowl.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07That's what it's originally for. And it's got a reasonable weight to it.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Quite well made. What was the price?
0:08:09 > 0:08:1235.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16- That's the very best. - Yes, it would be 50 normally.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- Do you like it?- I do like it. It's elegant, isn't it?
0:08:19 > 0:08:23- It's not a bad buy at 35. - I like that. That's nice.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Would you like to go for that for your first buy?
0:08:27 > 0:08:30BELL TOLLS, TIM YAWNS
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Any time today, ladies?
0:08:33 > 0:08:36You have to make a decision eventually, ladies.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- I know.- This is called Bargain Hunt, not Bargain Think About It.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41So if we don't make a profit, it's your fault.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43THEY LAUGH
0:08:43 > 0:08:46You see, I knew there was going to be trouble.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48I did warn you about that one.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- I think you have to try and... - Yes, I do like that.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Yes, that's nice, that. That is nice. We'll go for that one.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- Yes?- I think so, yeah.- OK.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- Decision made.- Lovely.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59And we've only had 55 minutes.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01THEY LAUGH
0:09:03 > 0:09:06That was painful but at least they are under way.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Let's have a look this fellow.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12That's Japanese. He's, um...
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- He's very ugly.- Yeah, it is.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18That's you told, Jeremy.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23- I think this is quite pretty, this chair, actually.- It's quite nice.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27I like the carving on this. It's quite ornate and this at the bottom.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29- It's lovely, isn't it? - Yeah. It's unusual.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Well, you pointed out, I have to tell you, all the right details here
0:09:33 > 0:09:37because we are looking at a chair which, at first glance, you'd think
0:09:37 > 0:09:40this was by Hepplewhite or Sheraton,
0:09:40 > 0:09:44somebody like that, from the last quarter of the 18th century.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48But it's far too small for that. And it's not quite up in that echelon.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51I would say this is about 1900-1910.
0:09:51 > 0:09:56- It's what we tend to refer to as Sheraton revival furniture.- Right.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58This would have been from a drawing room suite.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01But the quality is very good.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04You pointed out these lovely details
0:10:04 > 0:10:07like little ribbons at the top there. You've got the swag.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11They haven't just stopped at this little satinwood inlaid roundel
0:10:11 > 0:10:14with the urn in there. They've put this lovely beading around it.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17You've got these lovely little sunflower bursts.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Again, everything about it is actually quite good quality.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24And in an elegant hallway or a bedroom or landing,
0:10:24 > 0:10:26this would look absolutely stunning, actually.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27Yes. What price is it?
0:10:27 > 0:10:34- Well, we've got 90 on it, which is pretty cheap.- 55? 60?
0:10:34 > 0:10:35I could do it at 80.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39- That would be the max.- 75.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43- Go on, 75.- Go on then.- Oh, you're wonderful, thank you very much.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45How's 75?
0:10:45 > 0:10:49- Am I needed on this show?- No. - I think I've just been made...
0:10:49 > 0:10:52She did warn you she was not going to take any notice.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54I think I've just be made redundant.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- I don't take prisoners.- You don't. - No.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59I'll just go back to the green room for a cuppa, I think. 75 quid.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- Thank you very much.- Thank you. - Lovely.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04- Is that fine?- Fine.- Yes, OK.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08Cor, the Reds have come over all decisive but don't collect your
0:11:08 > 0:11:10P45 just yet, Mark.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12You need one more bargain.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Now, come over and have a look at this.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20# There's a hole in my bucket Dear Liza, dear Liza
0:11:20 > 0:11:23# There's a hole in my bucket Dear Liza, a hole. #
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Actually, there isn't a hole in my bucket.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30What I've got is one of these in my bucket.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32The big question is,
0:11:32 > 0:11:37what is it? Well, for a kick-off, look at the metal.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40If you look at the shaft on this thing it's that gorgeous greenish
0:11:40 > 0:11:45brown colour that bronze goes
0:11:45 > 0:11:47when it exposed to the atmosphere,
0:11:47 > 0:11:51water or weather conditions over a long period of time.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55And what the cunning dealer's done is to put some furniture polish,
0:11:55 > 0:12:00simple beeswax, on to the dry, green metal and polish it up a bit.
0:12:00 > 0:12:06And that's how you get this gorgeous sheen and depth of patination.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08But what is it?
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Well, just look at the gauge of the metal.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13First of all, it unscrews.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Good telly, this.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24And if you do this unscrewing process, you can see that
0:12:24 > 0:12:27it's beautifully engineered.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29It's not only beautifully engineered,
0:12:29 > 0:12:31it's massively engineered.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35Look how thick this expensive bronze is.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40It's that thick because it's got to take some wellington.
0:12:40 > 0:12:41It's going to be used
0:12:41 > 0:12:47in an industrial sense, but what is it, I hear you ask?
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Well, if I'm being honest, I'm not 100% sure
0:12:50 > 0:12:52but I will tell you what the dealer says it is.
0:12:52 > 0:12:58At the time that you had steam engines requiring massive amounts of
0:12:58 > 0:13:01water to fill their boilers,
0:13:01 > 0:13:05you had a device like this on the end of a pipe
0:13:05 > 0:13:09so that when you were extracting water you would insert this
0:13:09 > 0:13:14into the reservoir and suck the water through these perforations,
0:13:14 > 0:13:21effectively removing any bits before the bits got into your steam boiler.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25And that is what this thing is supposed to be.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Crazy, isn't it?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Well, not that crazy
0:13:29 > 0:13:34cos the woman's asking £100 for it.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Stick that in your filter.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Right, Blue team, you've only bought one thing.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42What are you up to, Jezza?
0:13:44 > 0:13:48What we've got here is a pair of silver mounted late-Victorian
0:13:48 > 0:13:54decanters that have been mould- blown here with blown-glass stoppers
0:13:54 > 0:13:57and they've also been polished out so that's a good sign if quality.
0:13:57 > 0:14:02- Yes.- We just want to check that they fit tightly. No damage.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- And you've got a pair of them, haven't you?- I like those a lot.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Are they original stoppers?
0:14:07 > 0:14:10As far as I'm aware, yes.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12You can test the stoppers by turning them in the top,
0:14:12 > 0:14:15lift the decanters, they fit snug.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Everyone can use a decanter, can't they?
0:14:18 > 0:14:21- Yes.- So, what have they got to...?
0:14:21 > 0:14:24I've got 120 on the pair.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Fighting talk, 80?
0:14:26 > 0:14:28- Sounds good.- Would you go to 70?
0:14:28 > 0:14:32No, I'll do 80 and that's it.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36They are 1897 silver, original decanters.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38I like them. I like them.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- Shall we have a drink on it? - Yeah, do you want a drink on it?
0:14:41 > 0:14:43I'll take a whisky.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Oh, that's handy!
0:14:46 > 0:14:49- It had better be full.- It is. It is.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Here we are, help yourself to a tot.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56Goodness me. I turn my back for two minutes and...
0:14:56 > 0:14:58- Tell me when.- A little bit.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01That will do. Thank you very much.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03And you did say 80, didn't you, not 70?
0:15:03 > 0:15:07- 80, I'm smiling. 80.- I tried.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Nice try, Georgie.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15- Shall I show you something very interesting?- Yes.- Yeah, go on.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17What do you think that is?
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Chinese Ming dynasty?
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Do you know what it was used for?
0:15:21 > 0:15:24It's called a bourdaloue.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26It's a lady's chamber pot.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30And it was called after a French man.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33A French vicar, I suppose, who gave such long sermons,
0:15:33 > 0:15:36they created these to go under the dresses
0:15:36 > 0:15:38- while they were listening to the sermons.- Oh, crikey!
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Might be useful while you're waiting for these girls
0:15:41 > 0:15:42to make their next decision, Mark.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46And that one is priced at £250.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50Unless we can get it for 35, put it back.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52I have a feeling you're not going to.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56- We could try.- I like your optimism.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00Stand by. I think Jeremy is about to embrace his feminine side.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04Here we are, a little ladies' Art Deco compact.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Lots going on with it. We've got this faux tortoiseshell here
0:16:07 > 0:16:09and these beautiful sleek lines.
0:16:09 > 0:16:14And if you open it up here you've got a little powder mirror,
0:16:14 > 0:16:16a little powder box.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20And then, just next to it, because you're getting bored as
0:16:20 > 0:16:23you're powdering your nose, you've got a music box.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27And then, let's not forget a bit of lipstick at the end here.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Is there anything in the lipstick or is that...?
0:16:30 > 0:16:34Afraid not. It's all gone. 1928, it went.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Nothing left.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Probably not your colour anyway, Jeremy.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Ah, a jardiniere stand.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47If we'd just put it up here so we can actually see it,
0:16:47 > 0:16:49the detailing of it.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53So you've got all the sort of carved work here, the leaves and the flowers.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Yes, and its good quality carving.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59You can just imagine somebody sitting and carving it.
0:16:59 > 0:17:04And you've got faux bamboo legs coming down here terminating.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06This is hard wood, like a Chinese rosewood.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Chinese things are quite popular at auction at the moment.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- Yeah.- I like it because it's very decorative.- Beautiful.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15And the marble inset at the top here, which is rather nice.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19- That's lovely.- I would probably put it early-20th century.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- Yeah.- 70, 80, 90 years old, something like that.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28I think that's quite unusual.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30I haven't seen one before.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34It's lovely. It's not gold. I think that's a fascinating object
0:17:34 > 0:17:38- but the big question is, what's it going to be?- Um...
0:17:40 > 0:17:42..I'll do 120.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44It's quite full because
0:17:44 > 0:17:50although there are lots of things going on with it, it's not gold.
0:17:50 > 0:17:56There might be a profit in it but, at 120, you're on the edge a bit.
0:17:56 > 0:18:02- Shall we leave it then and maybe come back?- We've got to make a profit on it, unfortunately.
0:18:02 > 0:18:03Oh, what's this?
0:18:03 > 0:18:07- An extra compartment. - You missed that bit.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10We missed that bit. A little manicure set.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12That, to me, is the piece de resistance.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14What are we going to do then? Are we going to go for it?
0:18:14 > 0:18:19I really do like that. For 110, I like that.
0:18:20 > 0:18:2211,0 cash on the nail?
0:18:22 > 0:18:24- No, it's got to be 120. - Shall we go for it anyway?
0:18:24 > 0:18:27- I think so, yeah.- Have we got a deal?
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- Yes, we've got a deal. - Thank you very much.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33And the Blues bagged their final item.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38But what about the Red team?
0:18:43 > 0:18:47- And what is on it? 150. - Is that the best price you'd do?
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Could you knock another tenner off?
0:18:49 > 0:18:51- Can we go a bit lower? - Another ten and that's it.- 120.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53- 120?- Can't do less.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- I think that's quite reasonable, actually.- Yes, I like that.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58If we get it for 120,
0:18:58 > 0:19:00you've spent 110 already, so that's 230.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02- It leaves you with 70 quid.- Yeah.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05- Which is a reasonable sum of money to try and find you something.- Yes.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- And you've got three items which you're pleased with?- Very pleased.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12- Yeah.- But the best thing is all of them fit into our category
0:19:12 > 0:19:15of buying quality items and having a bit of a laugh, yeah?
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- Yes, that's nice, that. I love the top.- Shall we say yes?
0:19:18 > 0:19:20- Yes.- Yes. Why not?
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- Thank you.- Sold.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27Wonder of wonders, the Reds have finished!
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Do you know something, time's up.
0:19:30 > 0:19:31Big time.
0:19:33 > 0:19:39£35 bought the cream of Victorian silver jugs.
0:19:39 > 0:19:44Can they rest easy with the mahogany Sheraton chair at £75?
0:19:44 > 0:19:47And finally, they threw caution to the wind, spending £120
0:19:47 > 0:19:49on the jardiniere stand.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55- Well, Mark, you look as if you've got a couple of satisfied girls here.- Very satisfied.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57- Are you happy with your shopping? - Very happy.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- Which is your favourite piece? - The silver jug.- Is it?
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Yes. I think we'll probably make a profit on that, if we're lucky.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04I'm pleased about that.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07And which piece is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:20:07 > 0:20:09- Hopefully the chair.- You reckon?
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- Yes.- Well, that's good. There are some predictions.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14And how much did you spend overall?
0:20:14 > 0:20:15£230.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17That is just so mature, isn't it?
0:20:17 > 0:20:21£230. That's £70 of left-over lolly, please, coming from somewhere or other.
0:20:21 > 0:20:26Lovely. That goes straight across to the mastermind here.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- Mark, what are you going to spend your £70 on?- I have to be honest.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31- No idea whatsoever.- Have you not?
0:20:31 > 0:20:34But it's a good fair. I'm sure I can find something decent.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37I think it's so tough on you guys, so good luck, Mark.
0:20:37 > 0:20:38And have a lovely time, girls.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42For us, though, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:20:44 > 0:20:48Two page markers for £15. Wow!
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Two decanters for £80. Wow! Wow!
0:20:54 > 0:20:59A Deco combination powder compact for £120. Wow! Wow! Wow!
0:20:59 > 0:21:02So, George and Clare, how was that shopping for you?
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- Absolutely amazing. - It was really, really good.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Really good. Really enjoyed it.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Did you bond up with Jeremy all right?
0:21:09 > 0:21:10Yeah, he's fine, he's fine.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12He's done us proud.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16- He was good.- No better accolade than that, I'd say.- Thank you very much.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20- We're all looking a bit blue but for all the right reasons.- Good.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22And how much did you spend overall?
0:21:22 > 0:21:27- 215.- 215. I'd like £85 of left-over lolly, please.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29There we go, comes from Dad.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Very good, Jeremy. So how are you finding this fair?
0:21:32 > 0:21:36- Are you finding it tough going around that?- Quite relaxed.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38There are things with potential, but we'll see, won't we,
0:21:38 > 0:21:41what kind of potential it is when we get to Wilson's.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Yes. There's a bit of pressure on you here.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45A bit of pressure as the new boy.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47- Good luck, Jeremy, anyway. - We trust him.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Good luck, team. That's your first big mistake!
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Anyway, we're heading off to Droitwich,
0:21:51 > 0:21:54to a really splendid house.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04Hanbury Hall started life as a modest manor house,
0:22:04 > 0:22:07but at the turn of the century it was transformed
0:22:07 > 0:22:12into an extraordinary mansion by a man with quite a lot to prove.
0:22:12 > 0:22:19Thomas Vernon might have been a successful London lawyer but he was no peer or senior aristocrat,
0:22:19 > 0:22:24and building this place, and furnishing it so extravagantly,
0:22:24 > 0:22:27was his way of telling the world that he'd arrived.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38And this was Thomas Vernon's piece de resistance.
0:22:38 > 0:22:43The must-have, Flash Harry, I-have-made-it
0:22:43 > 0:22:47staircase of the 1710 period.
0:22:47 > 0:22:52All the neighbours around here would have had simple, plain painted
0:22:52 > 0:22:54wall surfaces going up their staircases,
0:22:54 > 0:22:57but that was not good enough for Thomas Vernon.
0:22:57 > 0:23:02He employed the most fashionable of fresco painters, James Thornhill,
0:23:02 > 0:23:07who came here to create this magnificent effect.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Thornhill went on to paint the dome of St Paul's.
0:23:13 > 0:23:14Imagine!
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Vernon must have been in heaven.
0:23:21 > 0:23:26And the wall paintings themselves tell the story from Greek mythology
0:23:26 > 0:23:29of Achilles.
0:23:29 > 0:23:34Now, in this wall painting we see Achilles in his most girly mode,
0:23:34 > 0:23:38because you'll remember from the myth that his mother,
0:23:38 > 0:23:44the sea nymph Thetis, did not want him to go to war.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48First of all she dipped him in water to make him invulnerable.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51The only bit that didn't get dipped being his heel.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54And later she dressed him as a girl.
0:23:54 > 0:24:00This is the moment in the female court, after some jewellery
0:24:00 > 0:24:04and valuables have been delivered, where all the girls went mad,
0:24:04 > 0:24:07grabbing the jewellery and so forth.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11But Achilles discovered a shield and a spear.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15He grabbed that instead and gave the game away.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19Anyway, having been rumbled, Achilles has to go off to war.
0:24:19 > 0:24:24And a bit later on he decides he needs a super-duper set of armour.
0:24:24 > 0:24:31And in this painting we see these Cyclopean forgers at the forge,
0:24:31 > 0:24:33making his suit of armour.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Of course, it didn't do Achilles that much good
0:24:36 > 0:24:39because ultimately, of course, he died
0:24:39 > 0:24:45when the unprotected heel was pierced by Paris's arrow.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50Now, how do we know that this series of fresco paintings by Thornhill
0:24:50 > 0:24:53was done around 1710?
0:24:53 > 0:24:57Well, if we go back up to the ceiling, you can see up there
0:24:57 > 0:25:01that being held up is a black and white pamphlet.
0:25:01 > 0:25:08And on that pamphlet you've got an image of a Dr Sacheverell.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12Now, Dr Sacheverell was an arch- Tory and was also a preacher.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16And he preached a sermon in 1710 in St Paul's Cathedral
0:25:16 > 0:25:21that the Whig government considered was sedition.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Thomas Vernon was very pro-Whig.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Therefore, when he had this fresco painted,
0:25:27 > 0:25:31he identified his political allegiance
0:25:31 > 0:25:36by having the anti-Sacheverell pamphlet
0:25:36 > 0:25:41held up and recorded on the ceiling of his hallway.
0:25:41 > 0:25:46The big question is today, how much sedition is there going to be
0:25:46 > 0:25:48over at the auction?
0:25:56 > 0:26:00Well, we've had a motor, I tell you, all the way from Anglesey
0:26:00 > 0:26:04to Nantwich to Peter Wilson's sale room, where we've been greeted
0:26:04 > 0:26:06by the proprietor, Robert Stones. Good morning, Robert.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08- Good morning, Tim. - Lovely to be here.- Nice to see you.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12Now, first up, for Gail, is this little silver cream jug,
0:26:12 > 0:26:14looking a bit lonely there.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16- How do you rate that?- Like it.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20Nice double-scroll handle on it, half-fluted decoration.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22A little tip here, if you just breathe on the hallmark,
0:26:22 > 0:26:26it means that you can bring out the hallmark more easily to read it.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28And we've now read the hallmark as being 1887,
0:26:28 > 0:26:30so that's a little bit of a bonus.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34Nice shape, very attractive thing. So we quite like that.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36- Good. What's your estimate?- 60-80.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37Good, £35 paid.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40So they may well double their money straight up on that.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44Now, we've got the Sheraton revival mahogany inlaid chair.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48- Where could that be? - You're sitting on it, Tim.- Get away.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Wow! Look at that.
0:26:50 > 0:26:55As if by magic, we reveal this little revival chair.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58So, Robert, how do you rate that?
0:26:58 > 0:27:01I love furniture. The big thing about furniture is,
0:27:01 > 0:27:04you've got to really look at it carefully, particularly chairs.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Because if they're damaged it's a real problem.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10If you just happen to put your knee on something, and push on the back,
0:27:10 > 0:27:13I can feel that's flexing a little bit, Tim.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16So if you look carefully at the joint down here,
0:27:16 > 0:27:18we can see there are some little tacks that have been put in.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21So it's had a repair at some stage, so a little bit dangerous.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25But let's face it, a chair like this is generally used as a bedroom chair.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28It doesn't really get sat on very often. So it can't be too bad.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32Lovely splat, a beautiful decoration in satinwood in the back there.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35- Brilliant. What's your estimate? - £40-£60.- Is that all?- Mmm.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37£75 they paid.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41Well, if this thing is insecure, as insecure as me,
0:27:41 > 0:27:43I'm certainly not going to sit on it. I'll have this one.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45- Thank you, Robert.- Quite right.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48- Now is this one OK to sit on? - Perfect chair.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Yeah, Queen Anne repro, we know all about them. Right, here we go.
0:27:51 > 0:27:57And lastly for this team, they've got this Chinese hardwood,
0:27:57 > 0:28:00what we used to call huanghuali,
0:28:00 > 0:28:03then it became blackwood. What's it called these days?
0:28:03 > 0:28:06- Rosewood.- Fair enough. It's just morphed, hasn't it?
0:28:06 > 0:28:09OK, so, how much for this baby?
0:28:09 > 0:28:13- Well, we quite like that, but 60-80. - Really? £120.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16- Really?- Anyway, they're going to need their bonus buy,
0:28:16 > 0:28:17so let's go and have a look at it.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21- Gail and Wendy, are you up for this? - Yes, definitely.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23This is our leftover lolly moment.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27You spent £230. You gave £70 of leftover lolly to Mark Stacey.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30- We did.- What did he buy?
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Da-dah! It's a little Art Nouveau...
0:28:33 > 0:28:37That should be down, it's a little Art Nouveau desk stand, really.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39You put your envelopes and papers in there.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42And you open this, and you keep your stamps in there.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46Its brass, obviously. And I think it's rather decorative, actually.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48It's lovely. How much was that?
0:28:48 > 0:28:51Well, I got it for a very reasonable £20.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53- Really?- That's very good.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55Which I thought was quite reasonable.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57How much do you think we could make?
0:28:57 > 0:28:59I hope it would make £30 or £40.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01That is absolutely gorgeous.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03They're very fashionable.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05That would look nice on my desk.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Well, you can't have it.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12On the other hand, you may not need to choose it at all.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15I think it's lovely. It is really lovely. That's nice.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Nearly as nice as you!
0:29:18 > 0:29:19Ooh!
0:29:19 > 0:29:22Gail, settle down, girl.
0:29:22 > 0:29:23It's only early.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26Can't take her anywhere, you know.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29- That's nice, you got a bit of a hit with your team.- I hope so.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31In more ways than one!
0:29:31 > 0:29:33On that happy note, for the audience at home,
0:29:33 > 0:29:37let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Mark's desk tidy.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Now, Robert, what do you make of that?
0:29:41 > 0:29:44We've got a classic little desk tidy here, of course.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48In about 1900, when this was made, everybody was writing letters
0:29:48 > 0:29:51and wanting things to keep envelopes and postcards in.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54This one here is quite nice, this Art Nouveau decoration here.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58And also a little place to keep stamps in the base.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01Or paperclips, that's quite nice, it's what we call a patent design,
0:30:01 > 0:30:03so this is all spring-loaded.
0:30:03 > 0:30:07We quite like it, we think £20-30 for that.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09- Mark Stacey paid £20. He rates it.- Yep.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12He sees a small profit. I think he's right.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14- Agreed.- It's a charming little object.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17Whether you write that many letters, you could stick your bills in there.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19- Yes, sadly.- There's enough of those!
0:30:19 > 0:30:21That's it for the Reds.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23Now for the Blues, George and Claire.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Their first item, these two page markers.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Yes. These are charming little things, made out of brass,
0:30:29 > 0:30:33they're stamped, they've a little patent mark on them as well.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36Nice little collectors' thing. Unusual being a pair of them.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40Not exactly the most useful thing today.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44- No.- But, if you've got the time to read your book in your drawing room
0:30:44 > 0:30:48and you're never going to take the book in your suitcase
0:30:48 > 0:30:51and go on your travels, then it's quite a handy thing, isn't it?
0:30:51 > 0:30:54- What's your estimate? - 10-20.- They paid £15.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57I bet they get their money back, that'll be all right.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59What about the decanters with the silver mounts?
0:30:59 > 0:31:03I like these. Having silver mounts on them is rather nice.
0:31:03 > 0:31:04And they do match.
0:31:04 > 0:31:05The stoppers are right,
0:31:05 > 0:31:08these are the things you've got to look very carefully at
0:31:08 > 0:31:09when you're buying decanters.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12- But they're not really that fashionable these days.- No.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16So many of them that have got silver tops on are cut bases, aren't they?
0:31:16 > 0:31:20Yes. They're spectacularly well-produced bottoms.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Those bottoms look a bit like Woolworths to me.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25They're not too bad, are they?
0:31:25 > 0:31:27They're a pair, that's the big thing about them.
0:31:27 > 0:31:32- So what's your estimate?- 60 - 80. - Brilliant. £80 paid, actually.
0:31:32 > 0:31:38- Lastly the musical compact, which is a strange thing, isn't it?- Well...
0:31:38 > 0:31:43I actually quite like this, because people are very enthusiastic about vintage costume,
0:31:43 > 0:31:46and it's a great accessory to go with vintage costume.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49So I think this has really improved in value.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51We think this will do reasonably well.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53Rather nice condition, and of course it works,
0:31:53 > 0:31:56so that's a real big bonus.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59It is extraordinary how stuff like this has come back.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01- Definitely. - Lipstick cases, compacts,
0:32:01 > 0:32:04all the little things that went into girls' handbags
0:32:04 > 0:32:07- in the '30s, '40s, '50s are so collectible.- Yes.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10- What's your estimate, Robert? - 30-50.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12- £120 paid.- Ah!
0:32:12 > 0:32:16- Do they stand any chance of getting to £120, do you think?- We'll see.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19We're on the internet for bidding, so we'll see what happens.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Bit of a risk though, isn't it?
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Based on that estimate, they'll need their bonus buy,
0:32:23 > 0:32:25so let's go and have a look at it.
0:32:26 > 0:32:31So, George and Claire, you gave £85 to the lovely Jeremy,
0:32:31 > 0:32:35who's blown it on an object which is supposed to be your bonus buy.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Jeremy, what did you spend it on?
0:32:37 > 0:32:39I've gone a bit potty, Tim.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41You bought a pot.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43- Aah!- Right.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45It's Pilkington's Lancastrian,
0:32:45 > 0:32:48that's a pottery from the north-west.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51And it's the first period of production, this.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54So, very early, round about 1910-1915.
0:32:54 > 0:32:59And it's got a good early mark on the bottom here. £50.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02And, best of all with a pot, it's not cracked.
0:33:02 > 0:33:03Excellent.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05How much do you think it's going to make?
0:33:05 > 0:33:08Oh, two, three, 4,000?
0:33:08 > 0:33:10LAUGHTER
0:33:10 > 0:33:12- Such a wag!- Let's hope.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15Claire, take it, darling. Hold it.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19Feel it, because so many of these pots are the better for the handling, aren't they?
0:33:19 > 0:33:23- They are. Look at the colour. I thought of you.- I like the colour.
0:33:23 > 0:33:24- The Blues.- Yes.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27- There we are, a blue pot. - What happens if I drop it now?
0:33:27 > 0:33:29That's the end of the bonus.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32- You'll have to pay for it. - Very nice, Jeremy.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34Yeah, quite like that.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36You don't have to choose now. You can choose later.
0:33:36 > 0:33:42But for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Jeremy's bonus buy.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46Well, Roberto, there we go. That's a nice, clean little pot.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51Nice dribble glaze on this one, nice mark on the base of it.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54We like that a lot. It's not the greatest glaze in the world,
0:33:54 > 0:33:57but at the end of the day, people that collect Pilkington
0:33:57 > 0:34:01will be interested in buying this. It's a nice example, in good nick.
0:34:01 > 0:34:05- Yeah. Made not far from here? - That's true, in Manchester.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08The ones with the lustre glazes make the most, don't they?
0:34:08 > 0:34:10They do indeed. Yes.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14- The brightly-coloured ones. How do you rate this?- £30 - £50.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16Jeremy Lamond, our new boy on the block,
0:34:16 > 0:34:20he's really hoping that it's going to do well. He paid £50 for it.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23- I hope it does well for him. - Absolutely.- It's a nice thing.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26£30 - £50 is a nice, tempting estimate.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28That's brilliant. Thank you very much.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38- Feeling nervous, you two? - No, very confident.- Very confident?
0:34:38 > 0:34:41Look at this room, stuffed up with people.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44There is not a square centimetre for another person.
0:34:44 > 0:34:48- I know, plenty of money. - They're all here to buy your lots.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51- We live in hope.- If you believe that, you'll believe anything.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53It is a very enthusiastic crowd here.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56- Is there anything you wish you hadn't bought?- The jardiniere table.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58- The jardiniere table?- Yeah. - You feel badly about that?
0:34:58 > 0:35:01- I think it's going to struggle. - Do you really think so?- Yes.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04You paid £120 for it, Mark found it.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07There is a peculiar thing happening in the Chinese market place,
0:35:07 > 0:35:09I have to tell you.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12The auctioneer's estimate is only £60-80 on that jardiniere table.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16- I think he could be wrong. I could see that making £150.- Yeah, I could.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20So let's not do it down till it's actually happened, all right?
0:35:20 > 0:35:24First up though, is your Victorian cream jug, and here it comes.
0:35:24 > 0:35:29Lot number 50, ladies and gentlemen, is the Victorian silver cream jug.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32What may we say for it? Give me a starter. Surely £50 to start it off?
0:35:32 > 0:35:35This lovely little cream jug, at 50? £50 anywhere now?
0:35:35 > 0:35:3750 I'm bid straightaway.
0:35:37 > 0:35:3950!
0:35:39 > 0:35:40At £50, that's all I'm bid.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44£50 is what I have. At 50, and it will be sold.
0:35:44 > 0:35:45- £50.- That's good, isn't it?
0:35:45 > 0:35:47That's plus £15.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50Thank you very much. We wouldn't say boo to that.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52Now here comes your chair.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56Delightful Sheraton revival mahogany framed single chair.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59Lovely quality, what's it worth to you?
0:35:59 > 0:36:01£30 I'm bid straightaway. 35 is there now?
0:36:01 > 0:36:02At £30...
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Come on, come on.
0:36:04 > 0:36:0740, yes? 40 on the telephone. 45. It's a nice thing.
0:36:07 > 0:36:0950 now. £50, yes. 50 bid. 55 now?
0:36:09 > 0:36:12At £50, it's on the telephone.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16- Come on, where are you? 55. - Come on, come on.- 60 is there now?
0:36:16 > 0:36:1860, yes? At 60. 60 bid.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Good auctioneering.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22- Yes.- At 70.
0:36:22 > 0:36:26- Yes!- 75, 80 now? 80 bid.
0:36:27 > 0:36:28You're in profit.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31Super piece of furniture, at £80, bid's here at 80.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33- Going to be sold at £80.- Yes!
0:36:33 > 0:36:35How brilliant is that?
0:36:35 > 0:36:38That's plus five. Oh, my gosh.
0:36:38 > 0:36:42Now, stand by for the jardiniere.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45Chinese carved hardwood plant stand, ladies and gentlemen.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47Several commissions on this one.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50I can start the bidding on this at £60.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53£60 straightaway. 65 now, do I hear? 65, 70, 75...
0:36:53 > 0:36:57- Keep going, keep going. - 80 bid. 85. 90 now, do I hear?
0:36:57 > 0:37:0090? 90 on the internet. At £90. 95 here.
0:37:00 > 0:37:0395. 100 on the internet? 100 bid.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05105 here with me.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09110 on the internet? Yes? 110?
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Come on, please.
0:37:11 > 0:37:15- 105, then, on commission.- Oh!- On commission, it will be sold at 105.
0:37:15 > 0:37:20105, that is minus £15 for that. But that does mean you are plus five.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25- Fish and chip supper. - Fish-and-chip supper.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27What are you going to do about the letter rack?
0:37:27 > 0:37:31We're hoping that Mark's got one here for us to win a bit more.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33- Right.- We hope. - That's the decision, is it?
0:37:33 > 0:37:36- Praying.- I tell you what, we'll cross everything.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39You're going with the bonus buy and here it comes.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42- Good on you, girls. - 56 is the lot number.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46This lovely little desktop letter rack.
0:37:46 > 0:37:47I can start the bidding at £20.
0:37:47 > 0:37:5025 bid, 30 with me. 35 now?
0:37:50 > 0:37:52Look at Mark Stacey's face!
0:37:54 > 0:37:5740, 45 now. 45? 45.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00- 50 anywhere else? 50, I have.- Oh, 50!
0:38:00 > 0:38:0450 is your bid. 55 anywhere else? At £50, it's going to be sold at 50.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- £50.- Plus £30.
0:38:07 > 0:38:08Isn't he a brilliant man?
0:38:10 > 0:38:12And you as well.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15I didn't do anything. Ha! Anyway, listen, £30 up on that.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17That's super. You had £5 before.
0:38:17 > 0:38:18You are plus £35,
0:38:18 > 0:38:21and do us a favour, don't mention a word to the Blues.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23- We won't.- We'll keep it secret. - That's brilliant.
0:38:26 > 0:38:2735 there, 35.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35- George and Claire, how are you feeling?- Excited.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37- Do you know how the Reds got on?- No.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40- No idea.- Perfect. We don't want you to, either.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44- £120 for the compact is quite a lot, isn't it?- It is.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46- But it's beautiful.- I still like it.
0:38:46 > 0:38:51- If the worst comes to the worst, you've always got the Pilkingtons pot to fall back on.- That's it.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54Carefully selected by our Jeremy.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57Anyway, first up though are the page markers, and here they come.
0:38:57 > 0:39:0067 is the lot number, ladies and gentlemen.
0:39:00 > 0:39:04The pair of late-Victorian brass page markers, a lovely lot for somebody.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07What may we say for them? £10 bid straightaway.
0:39:07 > 0:39:1015 is there now? 15 bid there. 20 with me. 25 bid now?
0:39:10 > 0:39:13- Look at this. - At 25, the bid's there.
0:39:13 > 0:39:1530, I'll take anywhere else?
0:39:15 > 0:39:17At 25, going to be sold at £25.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19£25 is plus £10.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23My gosh, he's a good auctioneer. Now, the decanters.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26This delightful pair of silver mounted decanters.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29London, 1897, what may we say for these?
0:39:29 > 0:39:33A couple of commissions left on them, 50 I'm bid straight away.
0:39:33 > 0:39:3655 is there now? 55 anywhere now?
0:39:36 > 0:39:41Is that a bid? 55. 60, 65, 70, 75 your bid. 75.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43- 80 anywhere else?- More.
0:39:43 > 0:39:4580 there. 85 now.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47- Nice things. 90 bid.- In profit.
0:39:47 > 0:39:5095. 100 now? 95, your bid.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53At 95, going to be sold, 95.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56Yes! That's good, plus £15 on that.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59That's smashing. You are £25 up.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Plus 25, I love it.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04Lot number 69, ladies and gentlemen.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06- It's good.- Five commissions on this,
0:40:06 > 0:40:09but don't let that put you off, ladies and gentlemen.
0:40:09 > 0:40:1250 is the starting bid. 55 now? 55?
0:40:12 > 0:40:14Very up and coming collectors' thing.
0:40:14 > 0:40:15£50 is the bid here with me.
0:40:15 > 0:40:1855, well done. 55. 60 is here. 65 now?
0:40:18 > 0:40:2265, 70's with me. 75?
0:40:22 > 0:40:27Still reasonable at 70. Come on! 75 anywhere else?
0:40:27 > 0:40:28At £70. All quiet at £70?
0:40:30 > 0:40:33£70, I'm very sorry, that's minus 50.
0:40:33 > 0:40:38You had 25, you are now minus 25.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41Such is the helter-skelter of Bargain Hunt life.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43I had a horrible feeling about that.
0:40:43 > 0:40:47- You certainly did. - I'm sorry I had the feeling, too.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49What are you going to do about the Pilkingtons pot?
0:40:49 > 0:40:51I think we go with it.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53- We'll trust him. - You trust him?- Yes.
0:40:53 > 0:40:57- You can't not trust that face, can you?- Well, you can't, no.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00Here comes your Lancastrian pot then and good luck, Jeremy.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03Lot number 73, ladies and gentlemen, coming up here.
0:41:03 > 0:41:07This terrific Pilkington's Royal Lancastrian vase.
0:41:07 > 0:41:11I've got £25 bid for it straightaway. 30 is there now?
0:41:11 > 0:41:1530 bid straightaway. A nice example of Pilkingtons' pottery.
0:41:15 > 0:41:1835, there. 40? Did I see somebody else bid 40?
0:41:18 > 0:41:2035, your bid. 40 anywhere else?
0:41:20 > 0:41:2140 over there. 45 anywhere else?
0:41:21 > 0:41:27At £40, bid's there, at 40, going to be sold. Last chance at £40.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29Oh dear. Bad luck, Jeremy.
0:41:29 > 0:41:33£40 is minus 10, which overall gives you minus £35.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35Listen, that could be a winning score.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39- Don't say a word to the Reds, right? - We won't.- We won't.
0:41:48 > 0:41:52Well, what a show we've had today. Such similarities between our teams.
0:41:52 > 0:41:58Extremely nice teams both sides of the divide, that's true.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02Very competent experts both sides of the divide, that's true.
0:42:02 > 0:42:07Both teams went with the bonus buy, which is lovely.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10But such a pole of difference between them
0:42:10 > 0:42:12when it comes to the score.
0:42:13 > 0:42:18In fact, exactly the same number of score,
0:42:18 > 0:42:22except for the Blues it's minus 35!
0:42:22 > 0:42:26- And for the Reds it's plus 35.- Yes!
0:42:26 > 0:42:29I mean, who could organise that?
0:42:29 > 0:42:32Bad luck. Did you have a good time, though, Claire?

0:42:43 > 0:42:46- This is a rare moment. £35. - Thank you very much.- There you go.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49What are you going to spend it on?
0:42:49 > 0:42:52- Ooh, we'll go for a meal, shall we? - Yes.- Just the two of us.
0:42:53 > 0:42:57- Leave the kids at home.- The three of us!- OK, the three of us.
