0:00:03 > 0:00:06Do you fancy being on telly? Well, this could be your chance.
0:00:06 > 0:00:13At the end of the show, go to bbc.co.uk/bargainhunt
0:00:13 > 0:00:16and tell us why we should pick you.
0:00:16 > 0:00:21But right now though, let's go bargain-hunting! Yeah...
0:00:46 > 0:00:50In case you missed it, here's that address again.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Why don't you join us for all this Bargain Hunt fun?
0:00:57 > 0:00:59You know you want to.
0:00:59 > 0:01:04Today we're in Lewes and we're letting our teams loose in not one,
0:01:04 > 0:01:07not two, but three antiques centres.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15Catherine Southon gets bogged down with the red team.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19I'm not seeing anything that grabs me by the throat and says, "Buy!"
0:01:19 > 0:01:23While Thomas Plant strides ahead with the Blues.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27- Are we going to go for it?- Yes. - Definitely?- Yes.- Yes, let's go.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Brilliant, well done, girls.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33And I pop off to Brighton for an Oriental feast.
0:01:33 > 0:01:40Just look at this, the Long Gallery, absolutely oozing with Chinese character.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Today we've got two teams of friends on Bargain Hunt.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48We've got Martine and Ellis for the Reds
0:01:48 > 0:01:51and we've got Clare and Gemma for the Blues.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- Hi, everybody.- Hello. - Lovely to see you.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Excuse my voice, I'm a bit weather-worn today!
0:01:57 > 0:02:02- Ellis, how did you two meet?- Er, we met through a mutual friend
0:02:02 > 0:02:04when I moved to a new area in Shoreham.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06And we met then through our dogs
0:02:06 > 0:02:09and started dog-walking and getting on very well.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13Well, this is marvellous, isn't it? You enjoy a bit of shopping though?
0:02:13 > 0:02:15- Yes, we're always out snooping about, aren't we?- Yeah.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19Quite a lot of flea markets go on in our area where we live
0:02:19 > 0:02:22and also we've both got flea-market stalls as well.
0:02:22 > 0:02:27- Oh, you're stallholders!- Yes.- Oh, great! We've got a team of experts!
0:02:27 > 0:02:32- No, actually it's a little cabinet. - Oh, yes, doesn't matter!
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Yeah, I'm bigging it up, it's a cabinet.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- We're a bit competitive like that, aren't we?- Yeah!- Good for you.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43- Martine, you started off life as a youth worker.- I've been a youth worker for about 25 years
0:02:43 > 0:02:47but I've recently left that. I'm too old!
0:02:47 > 0:02:53- No more youth left in you.- No more youth... Actually, the youth are fine, it's all the peripheral admin
0:02:53 > 0:02:56and that kind of stuff that I couldn't stand.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59What new career path is opening up in front of you?
0:02:59 > 0:03:03I love travel and I am passionate about photography.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07And I thought if I could write articles and take photographs,
0:03:07 > 0:03:10and get them published, that would be me in heaven
0:03:10 > 0:03:14so I'm hoping to do that and start fairly soon.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18- I've a funny feeling you two are going to do terribly well today. - We hope so.- Very good.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Now to our Blues. Are you quaking in your boots?
0:03:22 > 0:03:27- No.- Having listened to this - we've got expert contestants.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28No, I think we'll do OK.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32So how did you two meet, Clare?
0:03:32 > 0:03:36We were at the same Christian youth event one summer.
0:03:36 > 0:03:41I managed to become slightly infamous by tripping over and ruining my knee for the week.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45- Oh, did you? Are you accident-prone? - Yeah, just a little bit!
0:03:45 > 0:03:48People got to know me because I was the one who couldn't walk around.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52I met Gemma then. A couple of years later, we ended up working
0:03:52 > 0:03:54for the same charity and living together.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56And you've got an unusual hobby?
0:03:56 > 0:04:01- Yeah, I'm a geocacher.- A geocatcher? - Cacher.- Oh, geocacher.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Geocaching is like a treasure-hunting game
0:04:04 > 0:04:07that happens using GPS networks.
0:04:07 > 0:04:12People hide little boxes all over the world and you get the coordinates and go and find them.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16- You can find all sorts of amazing things.- Really?
0:04:16 > 0:04:20I met my husband at a geocaching event so, ultimate find, really!
0:04:20 > 0:04:25- Was he hiding in a box?- No! - Well, that's mad, isn't it?
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Gemma, you've got a few oddball hobbies too, haven't you?
0:04:29 > 0:04:34Yes, I love singing. I can't sing at the moment cos my voice is going...
0:04:34 > 0:04:38- Me too!- ..and it's terrible because I love singing, I'm in a choir
0:04:38 > 0:04:42and there's a friend of mine, we go together, we are the youngest
0:04:42 > 0:04:44by at least 20 years
0:04:44 > 0:04:47but it's a lot of fun to go and sing your heart out.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50What sort of things do you plan to buy today?
0:04:50 > 0:04:54We think probably some small items that have wider appeal,
0:04:54 > 0:04:57so you could find them in lots of different people's houses
0:04:57 > 0:05:00and lots of different people would like them.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02So you have a strategy then?
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Kind of, yeah. We think that's maybe the way to go.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10Well, good luck with all of that. Now we come to the money moment.
0:05:10 > 0:05:15Here you go, everybody, £300 apiece. £300, you know the rules.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19Your experts await, and off you go! Very, very, very good luck!
0:05:19 > 0:05:22I hope my voice doesn't fail!
0:05:26 > 0:05:31The venues may be different but the rules certainly are not.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35Each team still gets £300 and an hour to shop for three items
0:05:35 > 0:05:38which they take away and sell at auction.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40But then, you already know that!
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Saddle up, experts.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51Going to be mean today, Thomas.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- Southon, you don't do mean. - I do today
0:05:54 > 0:05:56and I'm going to win!
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Come on, guys.- Let's go! Are you ready for this?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Yes, it's exciting! Come on, then.
0:06:02 > 0:06:07- OK, Martine, I am completely in your hands.- Oh dear!
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- Knock yourselves out. - Let's have a look.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13They look quite pretty.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17- Go in this one?- Yep, let's try. Let's have a go.
0:06:19 > 0:06:24- Oh, wow!- The perfume bottle?- It's good, isn't it? It's beautiful.
0:06:24 > 0:06:29- I mean, it's...- Will the marks on the top...- The gilt coming away?
0:06:29 > 0:06:33It's not the end of the world. It will affect it a little bit but...
0:06:33 > 0:06:37As much as it would appeal to a perfume-bottle collector as well,
0:06:37 > 0:06:42it's quite pretty as it is. You wouldn't need a collection to put it in, it's just very beautiful.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Absolutely, and being Christian Dior, it's a good thing.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49- Ooh, it's quite heavy.- Good weight. - Watch the stopper as well.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Does the stopper come off or not?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Yeah...
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- Bit of dust on here. - That always adds value!
0:06:58 > 0:07:01The dust always... On the base, if I take it,
0:07:01 > 0:07:04HP, so those are the people who made it, so it's a moulded bottle.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08It's not hand-blown, but as an appetising piece,
0:07:08 > 0:07:10normally these things wouldn't be like that.
0:07:10 > 0:07:15- What's the very best on that?- Be 85. - You couldn't do a bit more?
0:07:16 > 0:07:20- No...no.- Not on that one. - Best trade on that would be 85.- 85.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24- GEMMA: I think that's a bit too much. - Not even 80?
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- Er, no, she's left instructions, 85. - She's left strict instructions.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- GEMMA: Oh, that's such a shame. - Well, I mean...
0:07:31 > 0:07:33We can have a think about it.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36If I was you, I'd almost probably just go for it.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38GEMMA: Do you want to go for it, take a risk?
0:07:38 > 0:07:44- We're going to go for it. - Definitely?- Yes.- Yes, let's go. - Brilliant. Well done, girls.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Lucky you, Thomas. Decisive shoppers!
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- Er, Catherine?- Yeah?
0:07:52 > 0:07:56That sort of thing usually sells quite well, doesn't it?
0:07:56 > 0:08:00- Yes, let's just have a...- I can't remember what the pottery is.
0:08:00 > 0:08:01Longport.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07With a little cockerel on, or rooster.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10It's chipped. It's chipped.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24I'm not seeing anything that grabs me by the throat and says, "Buy!"
0:08:27 > 0:08:30This is something I've seen, which I think is rather handsome.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34It's a...bronze...cup.
0:08:34 > 0:08:39On here, it's quite nice. It's got "Naples, March, 1883." It's sort...
0:08:39 > 0:08:45It's bacchanalian, it's a wine cup cos you've got the grape and vine around it.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- Those leaves are amazing. - It's good, isn't it?
0:08:48 > 0:08:52- It's good quality.- Yeah.- What do you think about the price?
0:08:52 > 0:08:56If that came into my rooms, I'd put it in my saleroom at 120, 180.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58So that's what we want to get it for.
0:08:58 > 0:09:04I would try and get it for 120, maybe even 100 quid.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08- Try.- What's the best price you could do on the cup for us?
0:09:08 > 0:09:12- It's 120.- 120. You wouldn't take 100?
0:09:12 > 0:09:18- No, sorry.- OK.- So that's £30 off which is quite good actually.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21It's a good 15%.
0:09:21 > 0:09:28- It's not bad.- Great, so yeah, we'll have it at 120.- Oh, so you've made that executive decision?
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- Yeah.- The executive decision has been made, no discussion.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35- No, no, no, I agree with you! - We have telepathy, you see.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Fair enough. Well, that's our second item.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42That's pretty good, isn't it? Just one more to go.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Cor, Gemma, you know what you want, girl!
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Red team, can we say the same for you?
0:09:48 > 0:09:53- Nice?- Not £250 nice, for my money. - No. OK.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55That'll be a "no" then.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59- Shall we put this back for now?- Yep.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- If you want to have a look at that...- Let's keep looking
0:10:02 > 0:10:05because it doesn't absolutely grab me.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Let's push it to one side for the moment and keep looking.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Keep looking? Start spending, you mean!
0:10:12 > 0:10:16Have we seen anything that we want to...
0:10:16 > 0:10:17We haven't gone...
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Little bit tricky to find that something special.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22We know what we want.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23Do you?
0:10:23 > 0:10:25We are not finding it.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27We've got a lot of work to do, a lot of ground to cover.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29I'm concerned about the time.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Hmm, I am too!
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Oh, our competition. There they are!
0:10:35 > 0:10:36Hello!
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- How many items?- Less than one!
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Less than one? Zero?
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Zero? And you've been shopping for what, 20 minutes like me?
0:10:45 > 0:10:48- I know, I know, I know...- 20 minutes, nothing?- ..I know, I know!
0:10:48 > 0:10:52But I'm still confident we're going to buy bom, bom, bom, no worries.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57MARTINE: We go for quality, not just any old rubbish.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- GEMMA: Well, we got the best items from the other place, two!- Easy!
0:11:00 > 0:11:02- Quality.- We'll go to the third place then!
0:11:02 > 0:11:05I promise you, a really good one we've got.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07CATHERINE: That's OK, we can do good.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Come on, then.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17Oh yes, I can see it now. Three pieces.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19- This is better. - # I feel a bargain... #
0:11:19 > 0:11:22# We feel a bargain! # What have you seen so far?
0:11:22 > 0:11:27- That chamber pot, isn't it gorgeous? - Isn't that lovely? Very striking.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Almost as striking as your singing, Catherine.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36- Aubrey.- Aubrey.- Aubrey. - Royal Doulton. I love that.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- It is nice. Deep colours. - Can we ask you about this?
0:11:39 > 0:11:43- Is this something that belongs to you?- No, but I can talk about it!
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- It's a chamber pot.- Let's call it a plant pot, shall we?
0:11:46 > 0:11:49If you call it a chamber pot, it doesn't sound so nice.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53Flowerpot sounds nicer. It seems to be period anyway.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57- Oh, it's right, yes.- I can see... There's a tiny little chip there.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01- What can you do on that?- 25.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06To be honest, when I walked in, it was the first thing I saw.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09But then that's because it's in your eyeline.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Well, we could keep that in mind, couldn't we?
0:12:11 > 0:12:14We're keeping a lot of things in mind with not much time.
0:12:14 > 0:12:15Right, OK.
0:12:16 > 0:12:1720?
0:12:17 > 0:12:21I think that's pushing it a little but let's say £23.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- Shall we go for that then? - Yep.- Go on.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Yes, please. £23, fantastic.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- I'll hang onto it for you. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32- We have an item!- But don't use it, will you?
0:12:32 > 0:12:35- What about as a plant pot?- Plant pot is fine.- Or anything else.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Finally, a gazunder to stop you being gazumped.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44It's nice to find things outside a cage, isn't it?
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Like this little fellow.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Isn't he pretty, this little budgie?
0:12:48 > 0:12:54Just look at the expression, that lovely textured surface.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58This is an effect that you can only achieve
0:12:58 > 0:13:03in cold-painted cast bronze. The expression on his face,
0:13:03 > 0:13:07that beady eye, the crispness of his plumage.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11All absolutely delightful
0:13:11 > 0:13:17and typical of Austrian cold-painted bronzes from the 1920s period.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21And indeed, if you look up this little bird's bottom,
0:13:21 > 0:13:24there stamped, it says "Austria".
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Cold-painted bronze Austrian animals
0:13:27 > 0:13:33are incredibly collectable, particularly when they're in larger sizes,
0:13:33 > 0:13:38like this. And I was thrilled to find the budgie, up the road,
0:13:38 > 0:13:41in one of these stalls, for £120.
0:13:41 > 0:13:47Quite frankly, in another place, I can see it easily making £220.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50So there's £100 profit in it, without a doubt.
0:13:50 > 0:13:55Imagine how thrilled I was, in the next-door shop...
0:13:55 > 0:13:58to come across this little birdie.
0:13:58 > 0:14:03Ha ha, look at that! On its perch!
0:14:03 > 0:14:08Except this time, and far more unusually,
0:14:08 > 0:14:10this thing is made out of carved ivory.
0:14:10 > 0:14:15Carved ivory that's also been later cold-painted and stained.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19Look how beautifully carved his face is.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Which is the better bird? Well, I have to tell you,
0:14:22 > 0:14:27the ivory one is much rarer and therefore,
0:14:27 > 0:14:32at £80, it would probably show you a far bigger profit,
0:14:32 > 0:14:34were you to sell it on.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38What's delightful about them is though, that you don't have to feed them.
0:14:38 > 0:14:44And do you know, they'll never fly away, if you're nice to them.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Without reading on the label what this is,
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- do you know what it is?- Corkscrew? - It opens something.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02A dental, a dentist's...it is, it's a dentist's tool.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05It's an 18th-century tooth key.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09- Lovely.- Isn't that fab? A nice ivory handle.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12I haven't looked at the price yet.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14- It's 150.- Whoah...
0:15:14 > 0:15:18These do sell and they do make good money.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22- There are people who get excited about dental and scientific instruments.- It's frightening...
0:15:22 > 0:15:26It is frightening but I think that's a good thing.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28- But it's a lot of money.- It is a lot of money.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32- I wonder how low we could go on this? Excuse me, sir?- Yes.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34She says, hopefully...
0:15:35 > 0:15:36What can you do on that?
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Best price, 125 on this one.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- Can you do a little?- 120.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48- 10?- Mmm?- 110?- I think that's pushing it a little bit.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Split the difference, 115, OK?
0:15:51 > 0:15:52115. Thank you.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56- You're not convinced, are you?- I'm not overly in love with it, but...
0:15:56 > 0:16:01I know what you mean. They do sell but it depends where.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05- I would have thought...- Maybe a bit too specialised.- Yeah.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07I think it's a fab thing, I love it.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Right, we are looking and loving, but not really buying.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22- Little pair of opera glasses. - Oh, goodness, that was close!
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Bit too close for comfort there.
0:16:24 > 0:16:30They're all right. 19th-century, mother-of-pearl opera glasses.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Little bit tarnished inside. Oh, are they cracked?
0:16:32 > 0:16:36I don't know, is it muck? I don't know, you looked through them.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39I couldn't see when I looked through them.
0:16:39 > 0:16:44They don't look fantastic quality though, do they, round here, they look like they've been bashed a bit.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48- Been to more parties than operas, probably.- Yeah!
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- That's nice, it's come with the... - Little bag.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54- That's gorgeous.- Cute, isn't it? And the mirror.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Oh, the mirror, so you can adjust and do your lipstick
0:16:57 > 0:17:00at the same time! Like the idea of that.
0:17:00 > 0:17:05That's nice, like a little kid leather case. Nice, a bit tatty.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- What do they want for it?- 75.- 75.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12So what's that for the two? 50, what did you say?
0:17:12 > 0:17:16- Yeah, that'll be OK.- 50... What do you want to do?
0:17:17 > 0:17:20It's difficult cos we're running out of time.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24- You are indecisive, you two. - Well I'm a Libran!
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- I'm a Libran.- And I'm Martine. - And you're Martine.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31- Shall we keep looking? - We don't have very long
0:17:31 > 0:17:36- but we bear it very much in mind, so...- We're bearing a lot in mind.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37Aren't you just?!
0:17:37 > 0:17:42Oh, girls, come on, flicking through clothes. What were you looking at?
0:17:42 > 0:17:47- Nothing really.- Smocks! This is lovely.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49What do you think of this? It's rather charming.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53- A charming watercolour.- I really like it.- It's a lovely picture.
0:17:53 > 0:17:561818, although that's slightly wrong,
0:17:56 > 0:18:01it's got it here, 1883 or 1888, it's not signed by anybody.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05I think it's rather handsome. £18, it's our last item.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07What do you think? We haven't got much time.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10I could see someone wanting that to put it up in their house.
0:18:10 > 0:18:15Do you think it's going to affect the price, not knowing who did it?
0:18:15 > 0:18:18No, because in my opinion, it's a happy amateur.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22I think it's somebody... Again, we're looking at the grand tour.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25What do you think this might fetch at auction?
0:18:25 > 0:18:29I think it's a £20-30 picture, I think it's rather fun.
0:18:29 > 0:18:34As long as we get all this detail in, we put it on the internet, at the sale, you've got a good chance.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Better go negotiate!
0:18:39 > 0:18:42- What are you thinking?- I'm thinking I'm going to take these.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44- Yeah?- Yep.- Are you being decisive?
0:18:44 > 0:18:49- I'm being very decisive.- We're having a decisive moment here, Martine.- I'm being a decisive Ellis.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53- I've decided I'm going to be decisive and decide we're going to keep them.- OK.- Go for it.
0:18:53 > 0:18:54£50, two items.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Goodness! About time, Ellis.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Shall we go back down here?
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- OK, three minutes and £15. - Let's go for it.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- Yep.- Definitely.- Yeah?- Let's do it. - The telepathy is there.- Yes.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Is there anything we've seen that's chunky?
0:19:07 > 0:19:11- Your tooth thing you still like. - It is a gamble, a hit or a miss.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15- It is quite specialist, isn't it?- But it's a nice...it's a good thing.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19On the tooth key, what can you do? What's your very best?
0:19:19 > 0:19:24- Now, it's £100.- 100.- That's your lot.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28MARTINE: I quite like that as well. What do you think, Ellis?
0:19:28 > 0:19:29Yeah, it's nice.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32It might be silver but they wouldn't be able to call it silver,
0:19:32 > 0:19:35they'd have to call it "white metal".
0:19:35 > 0:19:37What's the best you can do on that?
0:19:38 > 0:19:40- MARTINE: What do you think? - It's up to you.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44- That or the toothpick. We've got two minutes.- Which do you reckon?
0:19:44 > 0:19:47That's 100, this is... Sorry, I'm saying "toothpick" now!
0:19:47 > 0:19:52- Tooth key.- I think, get the tooth thing.- We'll go with that,
0:19:52 > 0:19:55and then you'll have time to spend the rest of our money
0:19:55 > 0:20:01- on something fabulous!- So it's all on my head!- Yes.- All on my head.- Yes.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05- So we're going for that, £100.- Yes. - Done.- Let's do it.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09- Cup of tea now!- That was...that was hard!
0:20:09 > 0:20:12That was hard. We should have come here first thing.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19The Reds took their time but they got there in the end.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Now, what was it they bought?
0:20:22 > 0:20:26They all finally settled on a blue and white chamber pot.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Ellis had a decisive moment
0:20:28 > 0:20:32after he spied a pair of opera glasses for £50.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35And in the dying minutes, they were pulled towards the ivory tooth key.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36Eurgh!
0:20:36 > 0:20:38How do you feel, then?
0:20:38 > 0:20:41- Hmm, a bit despondent.- Yeah. - A little bit.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43What have you got to be despondent about, you chickens?
0:20:43 > 0:20:48We dawdled a bit for the first half an hour, a bit indecisive.
0:20:48 > 0:20:53- Were you?- Very.- Carried away with ourselves, looking at things we liked, not things for auction!
0:20:53 > 0:20:55You don't do this every day of the week,
0:20:55 > 0:20:57so you can't get everything right!
0:20:57 > 0:21:00But it ain't over until the fat lady sings.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03I would like £127 of leftover lolly, please.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06This lady, who's not fat but won't sing, but she's got the money.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10- Martine. There we go, Catherine. - Thank you.- Your "dough"-re-mi.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14You're looking forward this to confidently, your bonus buy.
0:21:14 > 0:21:19I am. I'm looking to buy something more for Martine
0:21:19 > 0:21:22because I think she is more despondent, isn't she?
0:21:22 > 0:21:24- What we want is profit.- Well, yes. - That's what we want.
0:21:24 > 0:21:29Never mind about Martine, just go out there and get something cheap!
0:21:29 > 0:21:31- Yeah!- Good luck, team. Good luck, Catherine.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35Why don't we now check out what the Blues bought, eh?
0:21:35 > 0:21:40The girls started decisively with a Christian Dior perfume bottle,
0:21:40 > 0:21:44closely followed by a bronze cup for £120.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52Finally, a naive English-school watercolour
0:21:52 > 0:21:54caught their eye for £15.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58- Really strong three items.- Yeah, I'm really pleased with them.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00That's what we like, a strong three items!
0:22:00 > 0:22:04- Did you have a good shop?- It was really good.- I'm pleased about that.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07- You spent £250, roughly, wasn't it? - 220.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10220, OK, who's got the £80?
0:22:12 > 0:22:15£80, thank you very much. There you go then, Thomas.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18- There's your £80. That's worthwhile going for, isn't it?- It is, yes.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22- Have you got anything in view?- I've seen one or two things in view,
0:22:22 > 0:22:27- yeah.- Very good luck with that, girls. Meanwhile, we're heading off,
0:22:27 > 0:22:30up the coast, we're going west, to Brighton.
0:22:34 > 0:22:39The Royal Pavilion is one of Brighton's best-loved landmarks.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43It was designed by architect John Nash in the early 19th century
0:22:43 > 0:22:45for King George IV.
0:22:45 > 0:22:50The outside looks intriguingly Indian.
0:22:51 > 0:22:56But inside, I'm coming over all Chinese. Just look at this,
0:22:56 > 0:23:03the Long Gallery, absolutely oozing with Chinese character.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09This is called "chinoiserie", from the French word "chinois",
0:23:09 > 0:23:16meaning Chinese. This is the style that inspired George
0:23:16 > 0:23:20for his internal decoration at Brighton Pavilion.
0:23:20 > 0:23:25Some of the objects we see scattered about look incredibly Chinese.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Take these armchairs.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31And actually, this was made in China.
0:23:31 > 0:23:36These chairs are of a type that were used by the Chinese
0:23:36 > 0:23:39but not exactly in this form. In other words,
0:23:39 > 0:23:45the European variety solely has this arched top to it.
0:23:45 > 0:23:50The whole thing is made of bamboo that's been steamed and shaped
0:23:50 > 0:23:54to create this lovely outline. And in the back itself,
0:23:54 > 0:24:00you've got panels that are filled with yet more split bamboo
0:24:00 > 0:24:03but exotically created into these fantastic shapes.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09Now these chairs, of which this is one of a pair,
0:24:09 > 0:24:11look similarly Chinese, don't they?
0:24:11 > 0:24:16But they weren't made in China. Oh no, they were made in London
0:24:16 > 0:24:22by the celebrated London firm of cabinet-makers Elward, Marsh And Tatham.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25If you look at the top rail, that looks like a piece of bamboo,
0:24:25 > 0:24:27doesn't it? But actually, it's made of beech.
0:24:27 > 0:24:32It's turned on a lathe. They've been able to create the knobbly bits
0:24:32 > 0:24:34that look like bamboo.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36And even the flecks and imperfections
0:24:36 > 0:24:42exactly like the example exported from China.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46Look at these, they look like spots.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49In fact, drawn on using pen and ink
0:24:49 > 0:24:52to simulate the grain in genuine bamboo.
0:24:52 > 0:24:57And in China, they describe those as concubine's tears.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Intriguing.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03The place is full of trickery though.
0:25:03 > 0:25:09If we come over here, you can see a group of these standing fired terracotta figures.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13They exemplify the spirit of the East
0:25:13 > 0:25:16and they've got one extremely amusing feature.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20If I just give him a tap on his forehead, look...
0:25:21 > 0:25:22Yes, he's nodding.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25He agrees with everything.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36A lot of the effects in Brighton Pavilion were created
0:25:36 > 0:25:41using the exotic light fittings, of which this is one.
0:25:41 > 0:25:47This is an example of an Oriental flat-pack being sent over
0:25:47 > 0:25:52to the Pavilion, around 1802, 1805.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55We've got European-made metalwork inside
0:25:55 > 0:26:01which is to enable it to be suspended. But essentially,
0:26:01 > 0:26:04the glass and the dragons and the frame
0:26:04 > 0:26:08were made in China, specifically for export to Britain.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12But everywhere about the Royal Pavilion,
0:26:12 > 0:26:18you do have these curious plays of light and shade and colour, thanks to all this trickery.
0:26:18 > 0:26:24And at either end of the Long Gallery is a magnificent staircase.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28These are called imperial staircases because of the design.
0:26:28 > 0:26:33You have two treads which come on either side
0:26:33 > 0:26:37and elevate and join in the middle and then process to the first floor,
0:26:37 > 0:26:40with a central section.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44But just look at these sections. Cast iron down below.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48Cast bamboo in the chinoiserie manner.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50The handrail itself is made of mahogany
0:26:50 > 0:26:56but again, has been carved and painted to simulate bamboo.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59And lots of these little painted elements again.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02More and more concubine's tears.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05The big question today is, of course, will our concubi...
0:27:05 > 0:27:10I mean contestants...be in tears over at the auction?
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Well, we've trotted from East Sussex to West Sussex
0:27:21 > 0:27:25to Wisborough Green, into the bosom of the Bellmans saleroom,
0:27:25 > 0:27:29- to be with Jonathan Pratt. Jonathan. - What a welcome, thank you, Tim!
0:27:29 > 0:27:32You're supposed to be welcoming me, really!
0:27:32 > 0:27:36- Well, I know! In the bosom...- As it's your saleroom.- It's my bosom.
0:27:36 > 0:27:43OK, Catherine Southon and her team, their first item was this gazunder.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- Mmm.- Is this going to have a lot of take-up here in West Sussex?
0:27:46 > 0:27:51They have a certain function, which has been outperformed by the flushing variety.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Since then, they've really been ornamental.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58- Decoration is the key. The condition's very nice.- Yes.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01- It's not stained at all, which is good, isn't it?- Yes, it helps.
0:28:01 > 0:28:06- It's important, isn't it?- If you're going to buy one, you may as well buy that one.- How much?
0:28:06 > 0:28:08- £15-20.- They paid £23,
0:28:08 > 0:28:13- so it's neither a number one or number two really!- Yes.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17Excellent. Next, the mother-of-pearl veneered opera glasses.
0:28:17 > 0:28:23They can be very collectable when they're enamelled or tortoiseshell-veneered.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26So this is slightly more, I suppose, pedestrian.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30- Mother-of-pearl. It is named as well.- And it's got its bag.- Yes.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33And it's an interesting-looking bag too.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37I reckon...I may be being generous...but £40-60.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Oh, you can't be too generous. £50, they paid.
0:28:39 > 0:28:44So they paid wham-bang in the middle of the estimate, that's fair enough.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48Their third item, which is really extraordinary, is the tooth key.
0:28:48 > 0:28:53Nice turned bone, sorry, turned ivory handle. It's a George III one,
0:28:53 > 0:28:55late 18th, early 19th century.
0:28:55 > 0:29:00- And quite a rare object.- Not common, certainly.- What's your estimate?
0:29:00 > 0:29:06It's probably quite mean but I'd say £20 or £30.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10- OK, fine. I mean, Catherine paid £100.- I'll do my utmost.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13On that basis, if you're right and it only makes £20-30,
0:29:13 > 0:29:17they're completely torpedoed and they will need their bonus buy.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19Let's go and have a look at it.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21So, Martine, what's happened to Ellis?
0:29:21 > 0:29:25Unfortunately, a really old friend of his has been taken rather ill
0:29:25 > 0:29:29and he's looking after her. So I promised to stand in for both of us.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32That's very brave of you.
0:29:32 > 0:29:37Well, I'm sorry about that. You can report back as we go along
0:29:37 > 0:29:38to poor Ellis and his friend.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42- So you spent, between you, £173. - We did.
0:29:42 > 0:29:49You had £127 going across to Catherine. What have you spent your £127 on, Catherine?
0:29:49 > 0:29:52Well, I've bought you...this.
0:29:52 > 0:29:53MARTINE GASPS
0:29:53 > 0:29:56I have bought you this lovely Arts and Crafts belt buckle.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00There's quite a bit of weight to that. If you turn it over,
0:30:00 > 0:30:04- we can see.- How much did you pay for it?- I suppose we should get onto that.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07Er, I paid £100 for it.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09- Right.- And you quite like it yourself, Martine?
0:30:09 > 0:30:11It's gorgeous, absolutely lovely.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Good, I think that's a bit of a winner, Catherine, well done.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18- I hope so.- Martine's happy. Ellis might be but we'll never know.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23- I will!- The fact of the matter is, you don't decide right now.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26you decide after the sale of your first three items.
0:30:26 > 0:30:31But for viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Catherine's belt buckle.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34That's chunky.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37- It's got a good weight to it, hasn't it?- Certainly has.
0:30:37 > 0:30:42- Cast, you see, isn't it?- Yes, screams out the Arts and Crafts,
0:30:42 > 0:30:43of the late 19th century.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45It's dated 1900.
0:30:45 > 0:30:50Yet there are so many which are just neoclassical style, contemporary silversmiths of the time.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53I think it should be quite a collectable object.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56- What's your estimate, JP?- £70-100.
0:30:56 > 0:30:57£100 paid by Catherine.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01- I honestly hope she exceeds 100, really.- And more.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04By the time you've tickled them up, anything can happen.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07That's it for the Reds, and now for the Blues.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11Clare and Gems. They've gone for this...er...
0:31:11 > 0:31:13this advertising perfume bottle.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15It's Christian Dior, it's haute couture,
0:31:15 > 0:31:19there are people who'll buy that, they'll use it for display in shops,
0:31:19 > 0:31:23in various different forms and maybe even dealers alike.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26- I think it has a wide appeal again. - Bung it in your own bathroom.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30- Why not?- If you're into all of that. So, how much then?
0:31:30 > 0:31:33I'm thinking along the lines of £40-60.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36Are you? You need to be thinking more like £85.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38There is interest in it, I can say, at the moment.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41- Whether I'm going to get that far, I don't know.- OK.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45Thomas Plant went strongly for this cast-bronze cup,
0:31:45 > 0:31:48This Italian bronze cup. Do you like that?
0:31:48 > 0:31:51- It's nice quality, very nicely cast. - Crisp, isn't it?- Yes.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55- It's very decorative.- Quite brown.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58- Yes.- Brown and on the dull side of brown, isn't it?
0:31:58 > 0:32:03Bronze tends to be. You could have a gilt bronze, I suppose, or patinated a different colour, perhaps.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06- Nonetheless, it's quality for what it is.- How much?
0:32:06 > 0:32:09Er, well...
0:32:09 > 0:32:12- I think I'm being a little generous at £50-70.- Really?
0:32:12 > 0:32:17- £120, he paid, the Planter. - I think that's going to bite him.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20Yes, could come back and haunt him.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23What about this English-school watercolour?
0:32:23 > 0:32:29It's a nice topographical view by an unknown person, wherever it may be,
0:32:29 > 0:32:34but it records a view which may be of interest to someone. When you're buying a watercolour,
0:32:34 > 0:32:38it's unusual views, early, the better really. This is a bit late,
0:32:38 > 0:32:41- to be honest, in the late 19th century.- What's your estimate?
0:32:41 > 0:32:45- I would have thought £15-25 would be about right.- It'll all boil down
0:32:45 > 0:32:50to the scent bottle and the bronze mug cup.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53They may need their bonus buy, let's go and have a look at it.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57- Where's Clare then?- She's not very well.
0:32:57 > 0:33:03I don't believe it! Two teams who've dropped a team member today in one programme!
0:33:03 > 0:33:06This very rarely happens. Poor thing, what's the matter?
0:33:06 > 0:33:09She's got a sickness bug at home, and she's in bed.
0:33:09 > 0:33:10Oh, Lord, best thing, away!
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Definitely!
0:33:12 > 0:33:16- You are brave enough to come on your own.- Absolutely. - Tom is going to produce
0:33:16 > 0:33:23his bonus buy. Now, you remember, £220 was spent, Tom had 80.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25- What have you spent it on, Thomas? - I bought...
0:33:25 > 0:33:29something relevant for you girls, it's a shame Clare isn't here.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33This is a pilgrim's shell, it's carved out of mother-of-pearl.
0:33:33 > 0:33:39It's carved in Jerusalem and it would be a grand-tour sort of piece.
0:33:39 > 0:33:43If you went to the Holy Land, you'd buy one of these shells
0:33:43 > 0:33:45as a memento of your trip, your pilgrimage.
0:33:45 > 0:33:51- Very nice thing.- Er, how much did you pay?- £25.
0:33:51 > 0:33:56Mmm. I like it, I've never seen one before so it's very unusual.
0:33:56 > 0:34:00- And I really like it.- Well, that's very clever, Tom.
0:34:00 > 0:34:04Let's see what happens later. You don't pick now, you pick
0:34:04 > 0:34:07after the sale of your three items but for the viewers,
0:34:07 > 0:34:10let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Tom's religious shell.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13There we go, something nice and religious for you.
0:34:13 > 0:34:18Wonderful, isn't it? It's not the finest example of carving.
0:34:18 > 0:34:19It is a religious scene,
0:34:19 > 0:34:24which, I have to say, is not the most commercial at auction.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27- I think we know that.- Yes.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30Er, it's foreign. I think he thought it was from Jerusalem.
0:34:30 > 0:34:36I think it happened in Jerusalem but I don't think it got carved in Jerusalem!
0:34:36 > 0:34:37- What's your estimate?- £10-15.
0:34:37 > 0:34:42I feel a bit of a miracle coming on, at least, we're going to need one.
0:34:42 > 0:34:43£25, he's paid, actually.
0:34:43 > 0:34:47So, on that basis, the team may never take it,
0:34:47 > 0:34:52- in which case, they'll be relieved. Are you taking the auction?- I am indeed, if I can recover in time.
0:34:52 > 0:34:53Should be a riot.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57Selling... £50 behind.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59Do I see 20?
0:35:02 > 0:35:07- So, Martine, all alone.- Yes. - Feeling confident, darling?- Yes...
0:35:07 > 0:35:13- You're looking a bit nervy!- I'm not sure we'll make a fortune.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16Here we go, and here comes the chamber pot.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20We have a Royal Doulton art nouveau chamber pot, circa 1904,
0:35:20 > 0:35:24and I have, to start, commission bid of £15.
0:35:26 > 0:35:27Come on.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30£18, clears the commission, front row at 18, do I see 20?
0:35:30 > 0:35:31Come on!
0:35:31 > 0:35:37It's £18, and 20, and two, 25, 28...
0:35:37 > 0:35:38- DOG BARKS - Is that a bid?!
0:35:38 > 0:35:40And a bark!
0:35:40 > 0:35:42He wants it!
0:35:42 > 0:35:45Do I see 30? £28 here, in the front row, at £28.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48Are we all done? It's your last chance. £28...
0:35:49 > 0:35:52- How good is that? That's so good. - Yes, yes!- Plus £5.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55- I thought we might make a few pounds. - You were vindicated.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58Next up are the opera glasses.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01Start me at £40 on these, surely worth £40?
0:36:01 > 0:36:03Come on, come on!
0:36:03 > 0:36:07£30 then. £30 is bid, thank you, at 30.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10- At £30. Bid for the five now.- Come on.- Is £30 the main bid?
0:36:10 > 0:36:13- Surely worth another fiver? - Come on!- Come on!
0:36:13 > 0:36:15£30, any more at £30, he's going to get it for 30.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18- All done.- No!- It's your last chance, everyone's gone quiet.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20It's £30 on the left.
0:36:20 > 0:36:25- Oh dear, £30, a loss of 20.- Blame Ellis. That was his choice.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29But five... Minus £15. Blame Ellis for everything!
0:36:29 > 0:36:33- He's not here.- Next up is the tooth key and here it comes.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36A 19th-century steel and ivory tooth key.
0:36:36 > 0:36:41£70, straight in at £70. 75 at the back, clears the commission,
0:36:41 > 0:36:4575, have we got 80? 80, five, £85 still at the back.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49- At £85, do I see 90? Any more at £85?- Come on!
0:36:49 > 0:36:53Going at 85. All done, last chance, sir. £85.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57£85 is minus £15, I'm so sorry about that.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Overall, that is minus £30,
0:36:59 > 0:37:03- which is bad luck, isn't it?- Yes. - It's a shame.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06What are you doing to do? Are you going to go with the bonus buy?
0:37:06 > 0:37:09- Yes, I think so, it's gorgeous. - You have a chance.- Yes, yes.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Well, here comes the bonus buy then.
0:37:11 > 0:37:15A silver Arts and Crafts belt buckle, London, 1900,
0:37:15 > 0:37:17by Charles Edwards.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19I've got a lowly bid of £30 with me.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23It's got to be worth more, it's £30. Surely worth another fiver.
0:37:23 > 0:37:2635, thank you, now let's see 40, at 35 with the lady.
0:37:26 > 0:37:2840 behind.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31No? £40 with the gentleman then, Five anywhere else?
0:37:31 > 0:37:35It's £40. Are we all done at 40? One more, madame, surely...
0:37:35 > 0:37:3745, thank you.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Now he's stopped. Now he's gone 50.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42- £50. Behind then at £50.- Come on. - Any more at £50? Are you all done?
0:37:42 > 0:37:46It's going, it's your last chance at £50. Selling 50.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50- That is a bore, isn't it? £50. - That is abysmal!
0:37:50 > 0:37:54- Minus 50, which means overall you're minus 80.- I can't believe that!
0:37:54 > 0:37:59- It could have gone either way.- Yes. - And I really rated that buckle.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02- I thought that was fantastic. - Gorgeous.
0:38:02 > 0:38:06- I'm so disappointed.- I'm sorry. - That's all right.- But who knows,
0:38:06 > 0:38:10- minus 80 could be a winning score! - Who knows?- Who knows.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12We clearly don't.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20So, Gem, do you know how the Red got on?
0:38:20 > 0:38:26- No idea.- Oh, good. And we promise not to tell the Red how the Blue got on either.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29First up is the perfume bottle and here it comes.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33I've got to start at...£50 with me.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36I'll take five, at £50, 55, 60,
0:38:36 > 0:38:3965, 70, 75, 80.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42- Yes.- 85, 90.- You're in profit.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45With me at £90, I'll take five, it's £90 against you then.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48- On the book at 90, any more?- Go on.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51At £90 I shall sell, your last chance, at 90.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55- He's made a profit, that is perfect. - Well done.- Brilliant.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57Hopefully that'll make her feel better.
0:38:57 > 0:39:01Next up is the bronze beaker cup mug.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04£45, I can start at £45, straight in at 45.
0:39:04 > 0:39:1050 now? 45, 55, 60 if you like, it's 55 against you.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13- With me at £55, 55 it is, any more? - Dreadful!
0:39:13 > 0:39:17No further interest? It's £55 commission bid and selling.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19£55.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23I make that minus 65. I don't like to tell you that!
0:39:23 > 0:39:27- Minus 65.- Pretty grim, isn't it?
0:39:27 > 0:39:30An English-school late 19th-century view from a room,
0:39:30 > 0:39:32a room window I should say.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36- Someone start me at a tenner.- Ah, bit more!- £10 is bid, thank you.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39Right at the bottom for 10, looking for 12. I've got £10.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43- Go on.- Let's go up now, it's only 10. Any more, surely worth 12.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46Are we all done? It's going... 12, thank you.
0:39:46 > 0:39:51- 15, Jill.- Go on!- Go on, Jill. - 15 anywhere? I've got 12.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55I'll sell it for 12, it's going at 12, it's your last chance, £12.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57HE BANGS GAVEL
0:39:57 > 0:40:00- Oh no, £12!- Believe that...
0:40:00 > 0:40:06Minus £3. 65, 60, it's minus £63 overall.
0:40:06 > 0:40:11- Oh...- Dear me.- I take full responsibility.- Good!
0:40:11 > 0:40:14It's my fault to choose that beaker, that cup.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17My fault entirely, I thought it would do rather well.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21Well, having spoken to Clare, we did agree
0:40:21 > 0:40:26that if we were losing money, that we'd go with the bonus item.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29I'm afraid to say, you're losing money big time.
0:40:29 > 0:40:35- Yes, we're going to have to go with it.- You're going to go with the shell.- Yes.- Very sensible.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38You've thought it through, that's the decision
0:40:38 > 0:40:41and we're going with the bonus buy. Very good. £25 paid, Thomas.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44No pressure, here it comes.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47A pilgrim's shell, 19th century probably,
0:40:47 > 0:40:48carved with a biblical scene.
0:40:48 > 0:40:54And I've got bids on the book to start me at 20, 20, 30, 40...
0:40:54 > 0:40:56Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!
0:40:56 > 0:41:00£40 to start, at £40. With me at 40, looking for five,
0:41:00 > 0:41:05- it's £40, I'll take five, 45, 50... - It's not finished.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07Five, £55 now...
0:41:07 > 0:41:11- Go on!- I've still got 60, so it's with me at 60, five if you like.
0:41:11 > 0:41:15Against you all still at £60 then, commission bid at £60, any more?
0:41:15 > 0:41:18Last chance and selling at £60.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22- Oh, Tom, well done.- Well done.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25You can walk tall, that's very good.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28- Makes up for the cup.- It does, yes.
0:41:28 > 0:41:34So that would be plus £35, that's a very respectable bonus buy, Tom.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37Overall, you're minus 28, that could be a winning score
0:41:37 > 0:41:39so don't say a word to the Red.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41OK.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Well, well, well, well, well.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51- Have you been talking to each other, you solitary birds?- No.
0:41:51 > 0:41:56- No.- You haven't. As usual, on Bargain Hunt, we can't have two winners.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58Sadly somebody has to be the runners-up
0:41:58 > 0:42:02and the runner-up today is Red.
0:42:02 > 0:42:09- What a surprise!- Poor Martine. Your overall score, darling, is minus 80,
0:42:09 > 0:42:15- which was not helped on its way by the old bonus buy, was it, Catherine?- No, don't rub it in!
0:42:15 > 0:42:20I'm not rubbing it in, I really think that buckle was worth £150.
0:42:20 > 0:42:24It sadly dragged you back, cos you weren't doing, you and Ellis,
0:42:24 > 0:42:27- too badly. I hope you've enjoyed the experience.- Lovely.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30Give our best wishes to Ellis and I hope his friend is soon well.
0:42:30 > 0:42:36- Now, the victors!- Yes!- Who has won by only losing £28, that's good.
0:42:36 > 0:42:40- Yes.- Quite frankly, you were well and truly down the swanny
0:42:40 > 0:42:45until Thomas won you £35 worth of profit with your pilgrim shell.
0:42:45 > 0:42:50- It made up for the cup!- Yeah, OK, OK, it made up for the cup.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54- I hope you've had a nice time. - It's been brilliant. - Give Clarey a hug from us.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56Sadly, nobody's going home with any money today
0:42:56 > 0:42:58but we have had, by jingo, a show!
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Join us soon for more bargain hunting, yes?
0:43:00 > 0:43:02ALL: Yes!
