0:00:07 > 0:00:11The good news is that there are hundreds of stalls.

0:00:11 > 0:00:14The bad news is there's only one hour to shop.

0:00:14 > 0:00:17So... Let's go Bargain Hunting!

0:00:41 > 0:00:46Today we're at the International Antiques and Collectors Fair in Ardingly.

0:00:46 > 0:00:47Fabulous!

0:00:50 > 0:00:52And here's what's coming up.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56Mark Stacey is crystal clear.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00I think that's the most hideous thing!

0:01:01 > 0:01:04James Braxton is reading the signs!

0:01:05 > 0:01:07I like that!

0:01:07 > 0:01:10"Prices may vary according to customer attitude"!

0:01:10 > 0:01:13- So be nice!- Be nice.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16No trouble for our James.

0:01:16 > 0:01:18Let's meet today's shoppers.

0:01:19 > 0:01:24And here they are, raring to go and barking. Carolyn.

0:01:24 > 0:01:28- Tim.- On that happy note, where did you meet?

0:01:28 > 0:01:31We met about 22 years ago at London Zoo.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33- Did you?- We did, yes.

0:01:33 > 0:01:35It was a sales conference we were both doing.

0:01:35 > 0:01:39There is something you love in life almost as much as Malcolm.

0:01:39 > 0:01:43- Yes, golf.- You do.- I spend a lot of time on the golf course.

0:01:43 > 0:01:47It's a lovely sociable game and it keeps me fit and healthy.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49But there is a hobby you both share.

0:01:49 > 0:01:55I used to show dogs. When I was about eight, my mother bred Labradors.

0:01:55 > 0:01:5930 years ago I got Miniature Schnauzers, of which we've got three.

0:01:59 > 0:02:05In fact, I judged at Crufts and showed all over the country.

0:02:05 > 0:02:10- Quite professional, then. - I was at the time. I packed that up some years ago.

0:02:10 > 0:02:14- So, Malcolm, what do you get up to when Carolyn's off on the golf? - Well...

0:02:14 > 0:02:18- Wild women coming in?- Well, yes! If I can manage it, yes, indeed!

0:02:18 > 0:02:21I'm getting a bit old for that.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24Too many Schnauzers, that's what it is!

0:02:24 > 0:02:27- The dogs tell tales, unfortunately. - They wag them, too.- Yes.

0:02:27 > 0:02:33- What about clocks? You're keen on clocks.- Yes, we have three or four lovely old clocks.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35We live in a very old cottage.

0:02:35 > 0:02:40Occasionally we go out and spend a bit of money on a clock. We love them.

0:02:40 > 0:02:45- Will you be going for time-pieces today?- Yes, that's something I'm very keen to look for.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48If they have a good selection, that would be great.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51That's something we'd like to...

0:02:51 > 0:02:54- You're expert on.- I wouldn't say expert, but we've got one or two

0:02:54 > 0:02:57- that we know a little bit more about.- Brilliant.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59- Good luck with that.- Thank you.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02Ken, when did you meet your co-contestant, Josie?

0:03:02 > 0:03:06About six years ago. We worked at Farnborough College.

0:03:06 > 0:03:11- Doing what?- Josie was in charge of...- I was Student Services Manager.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13And I was a performing arts tutor.

0:03:13 > 0:03:17Right. So you're in the performing arts, are you?

0:03:17 > 0:03:20Yes. I've been a female impersonator for 30 years

0:03:20 > 0:03:23- and recently I've got into classical acting.- Gosh.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26- That's quite a shift, isn't it? - Slightly.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29- So you don't have to get into a frock to go to work?- Not any more.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32Josie, what do you get up to, darling?

0:03:32 > 0:03:36I'm recently retired. I help Ken with some of his bookings.

0:03:36 > 0:03:42But I've been a volunteer with The Prince's Trust for 20-odd years. And I'm also "an appropriate adult".

0:03:42 > 0:03:46My children were impressed when they heard I was appropriate!

0:03:46 > 0:03:49I think she's inappropriate, but that's another story!

0:03:49 > 0:03:52You have to apply and get clearance as an adult

0:03:52 > 0:03:56to be able to be anything to do with any young person.

0:03:56 > 0:04:01Absolutely. That's right. I've been working with young people for a long time. Ken and I.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04How will you get on with bargain hunting?

0:04:04 > 0:04:07- Marvellous!- Yes. - We're both competitive.- Very.

0:04:07 > 0:04:11- Are you going to beat up the reds? - We'll beat up each other as well!

0:04:11 > 0:04:13We're in for sparks today!

0:04:13 > 0:04:17Now the money moment. £300 apiece. Here's your £300 coming up.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20You know the rules. Your experts await.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22Off you go. Very, very good luck.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25Whatever's going to happen next?

0:04:29 > 0:04:31Ah, look, they're all friends!

0:04:31 > 0:04:34- We've got trouble. We've got stiff competition.- We have.

0:04:34 > 0:04:37- I think you need to go. - You're going that way.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39- No, that way. - They're going over there.

0:04:39 > 0:04:43Maybe not. I think it might be time to split up!

0:04:49 > 0:04:51I want you to choose as much as you possibly can.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54Then I can blame you at the auction!

0:04:54 > 0:04:56Ken, it's jewellery. You will like it!

0:05:02 > 0:05:06It's a very Lalique style, isn't it?

0:05:06 > 0:05:08Arts and Crafts.

0:05:08 > 0:05:11- What is it, though? - It's a belt buckle.- Oh, right. OK.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14For those of us with waists, Ken!

0:05:14 > 0:05:17We're going to have fun with these two!

0:05:17 > 0:05:21- That's lovely.- How much is it? - 55.- It's nice quality.

0:05:21 > 0:05:25- It would have been silvered at one point.- Is it paste?- Or maybe it was just gilded.

0:05:25 > 0:05:29- It's stylish, but it's a bit costume. Great fun.- Thank you.

0:05:29 > 0:05:30It's a no.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38I've spotted some of the boxes and things.

0:05:38 > 0:05:42- They look interesting. - Marquetry.- Marquetry.

0:05:42 > 0:05:46- A little writing slope. 170 - that's quite a lot.- It is.

0:05:46 > 0:05:48What have we got here?

0:05:50 > 0:05:53I have to say that's the most hideous thing!

0:05:54 > 0:05:57The trouble is that people want clean lines now.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00- Those are quite fun.- Yes.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03- A pair of decanters.- Are decanters going well at the moment?

0:06:03 > 0:06:09Reasonably well. Those are priced up at 48 for a pair, I think, yes, it's a pair.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12- Shall I take one down? - Matching lids, are they?

0:06:12 > 0:06:16I'm just looking. I couldn't quite see from there.

0:06:16 > 0:06:20- It fits OK.- It's nicely cut. - It's very typical of that period.

0:06:20 > 0:06:24They've got here a pair of George III rimmed-neck decanters.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27The rim neck refers to this decoration here.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30I would say they're probably on the cusp.

0:06:30 > 0:06:34- Right.- George III is the most optimistic they could be.

0:06:34 > 0:06:38I'd call them William IV or early Victorian.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41- In good order as well.- Good order. - I can't see any chips.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44- I like those.- Yes. - Why not have a little chat?

0:06:44 > 0:06:47- Flash your eyelids.- I will. - It always works.- No problem.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50- What do I do?- Flash your eyelids as well. You never know!

0:06:50 > 0:06:53We rather like these lovely decanters.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56We're wondering what your best price is.

0:06:56 > 0:06:58We've got 48 - how about 148?

0:06:58 > 0:06:59- Good try!- Bargain!

0:06:59 > 0:07:02I could do those at 40 for you.

0:07:02 > 0:07:03- Do them at 40.- Cheap as chips.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05Would you consider 35?

0:07:05 > 0:07:08- I can't do that. - I can't flash my eyelids?

0:07:08 > 0:07:12- No.- Smile?- I can do 38 and that's the death on it.

0:07:12 > 0:07:18- Shall we go for it?- I think 38 is very fair.- It's a fair price.

0:07:18 > 0:07:22Malcolm, your missus has just bagged the decanters for £38.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24Atta-girl!

0:07:31 > 0:07:34From the '50s. It's only 20 quid.

0:07:34 > 0:07:38She doesn't like them because she remembers them from when she was a girl!

0:07:38 > 0:07:41Hey! Ken and Josie are friends, right?

0:07:42 > 0:07:46- That's not bad, is it? Under ten minutes and we've got our first item.- Fantastic.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49- We should be feeling really confident.- We are.

0:07:49 > 0:07:51- Let's keep that confidence up, OK? - Yes.

0:07:51 > 0:07:54Mark the Motivator!

0:07:54 > 0:07:58It's £12. It's a theatrical make-up box.

0:07:58 > 0:08:03Still got make-up in it, which is not important. The tin is very old compared to the rest of it.

0:08:03 > 0:08:06The cold cream is old.

0:08:06 > 0:08:08- £12.- They might do it even cheaper.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11- Would you do it for ten? - They'll do it for ten.

0:08:11 > 0:08:15- Shall we think about it?- You want it, don't you?- Shall we try it?

0:08:15 > 0:08:18I think it's your field, Ken, this.

0:08:18 > 0:08:20Certainly not Mr Braxton's colour!

0:08:20 > 0:08:24- How old is the box?- I think it's contemporary with the make-up.

0:08:24 > 0:08:28- Probably 1950s, '60s? - Even this make-up is old.

0:08:28 > 0:08:31They still make sticks by Leichner, but it's not this packaging.

0:08:31 > 0:08:36- Is that the Rolls-Royce of theatre make-up? - Yes. It was made by Leichner.

0:08:36 > 0:08:41The sticks have all got numbers. The main numbers people used were five and nine.

0:08:41 > 0:08:44That's where you get "Five and nine, the Brighton line."

0:08:44 > 0:08:48People came from Brighton to London and put make-up on on the train.

0:08:48 > 0:08:53They always used sticks five and nine, hence "Five and nine, the Brighton line."

0:08:53 > 0:08:56- Having said that, it's a tenner. - It's a tenner.

0:08:56 > 0:08:59- I think we should buy it.- Then I'll spend the rest of the money!

0:09:00 > 0:09:03Oh, yes. Getting on famously now!

0:09:03 > 0:09:05- We'll take that. - Well done. Thank you.

0:09:05 > 0:09:08Well done, Ken. We've got the theatrical make-up.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11Really good. And we've only done 11 minutes.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14And all the rest of the money is mine!

0:09:14 > 0:09:16- I don't think so!- Press on.

0:09:16 > 0:09:19No squabbling, now! Plenty of dosh left.

0:09:26 > 0:09:30As they say, "You never know what you're going to find in one of these fairs."

0:09:30 > 0:09:35Here we are in the heart of Sussex in the south of England.

0:09:35 > 0:09:40Would you expect to find an 18th-century brass plaque

0:09:40 > 0:09:43associated with the history of Edinburgh?

0:09:43 > 0:09:46If you look at the inscription on the top,

0:09:46 > 0:09:49in Latin, it says, "Sic itur ad astra."

0:09:49 > 0:09:52Which means, roughly translated,

0:09:52 > 0:09:55"Thus you find your way to the stars."

0:09:55 > 0:10:01In the middle, though, is the real clue to the origins of this piece.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03Because we've got cast in relief

0:10:03 > 0:10:06the antlers and head of a stag

0:10:06 > 0:10:10with a cross growing out of the top of the stag's head.

0:10:10 > 0:10:13And that relates to a legend

0:10:13 > 0:10:18where King David I of Scotland was hunting close by Edinburgh

0:10:18 > 0:10:20in about 1140.

0:10:20 > 0:10:24He was attacked by a stag and in mortal peril

0:10:24 > 0:10:27and as he was trying to defend himself,

0:10:27 > 0:10:32he had a vision of a cross between the stag's antlers.

0:10:32 > 0:10:37That inspired him to defend himself vigorously and he was saved.

0:10:37 > 0:10:44As a result, he founded a religious institution just outside Edinburgh at Holyrood.

0:10:44 > 0:10:49All in all, there's an incredible amount of history wrapped up in this wee plaque.

0:10:49 > 0:10:51What's it worth?

0:10:51 > 0:10:54Apparently, £150.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58Do you see a cross appearing between my antlers?

0:11:02 > 0:11:06It's half time and this shop is hotting up.

0:11:09 > 0:11:13- We've had 27 minutes. So we've got 33 minutes left.- OK.

0:11:13 > 0:11:16So we need to crack on.

0:11:19 > 0:11:20- I like that.- You do like it?

0:11:20 > 0:11:23- How much was it?- It's got 38. You can have it for 35.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26Don't beat me. 35.

0:11:26 > 0:11:28I wasn't going to attack you!

0:11:28 > 0:11:32- You were going to!- I'll set her on you in a minute!

0:11:33 > 0:11:37- It's nice.- It's your choice next because I've bought mine. - I like it.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39- I'm happy to talk about it. - It's a handsome bit.

0:11:39 > 0:11:46- It's in good nick.- Classic design. - It's plate, but in silver that would be a lot of money.

0:11:48 > 0:11:52- Shall we think about it?- We can think about it.- Keep it in mind. - We're doing well.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55Yes, very well. You've spent a tenner!

0:12:03 > 0:12:06That's had the collar broken. That's why it's got a silver collar on it.

0:12:06 > 0:12:10- Shame, because it's a nice piece. - It's quite pretty.

0:12:10 > 0:12:14It's famille rose, very typical of that Chinese baluster shape

0:12:14 > 0:12:15with the wing handles.

0:12:15 > 0:12:20It's £55. It depends what we get it for, of course. Let's put it down.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22I'm concerned about the time.

0:12:22 > 0:12:25Yes, I'm concerned about the time as well.

0:12:25 > 0:12:31- We saw a rather nice vase there. - Yep. The best on that would probably be 40 quid.

0:12:31 > 0:12:34- That's your very best price?- Yep. - You can't go to 35?- No.

0:12:34 > 0:12:39- It's no good me flashing my eyes at you!- I'll flash my eyes! - No, not really!

0:12:39 > 0:12:41I'll show you my muscles.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43Really?

0:12:43 > 0:12:46- 38?- Is she with you?

0:12:46 > 0:12:48- Afraid so!- She's my wife!

0:12:48 > 0:12:50- If you want it for 38, you can have it for 38.- Happy?

0:12:50 > 0:12:54- I can't flash my eyes at you any more.- You're wasting your time!

0:12:54 > 0:12:57- 38.- I won't show you my muscles.

0:12:57 > 0:13:01The deal is done on the Cantonese vase for 38 smackers.

0:13:06 > 0:13:08How much is your agate bracelet?

0:13:08 > 0:13:10It's about 120.

0:13:10 > 0:13:15- It's about 1950s, by a chap called Robert Atkinson.- OK.

0:13:15 > 0:13:18- 85. I wouldn't go any lower than that.- Really.

0:13:18 > 0:13:21It's nice, isn't it? I love hard stones.

0:13:23 > 0:13:28It's amazing how things like aquamarine have become really trendy.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31That's quite an unusual thing as well.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33This is silver.

0:13:33 > 0:13:36Natural garnets and pearls. This is all enamelling.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38- How much on that one? - 80 on that one for you.

0:13:38 > 0:13:42I like that. And I like the agate bracelet.

0:13:42 > 0:13:47- Yeah. Thank you for your help. We'll have a think.- A big think about that.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49- I'm here till three.- We're not! - We've got an hour!

0:13:58 > 0:13:59So we've got 20 minutes.

0:13:59 > 0:14:01Get a move on, then!

0:14:05 > 0:14:08Thank the Lord it's not wormy!

0:14:08 > 0:14:10He said we could have it for a pound!

0:14:10 > 0:14:13A pound?! That is tempting! Do you want to buy it?

0:14:13 > 0:14:15Presumably if you sell it for two pounds!

0:14:15 > 0:14:18- It's quite fun. - We've checked it for worm.

0:14:18 > 0:14:21I've got one virtually the same. Slightly better condition.

0:14:21 > 0:14:24I see. Yours is dustier than this one!

0:14:24 > 0:14:27- Probably!- I'd buy it. - What would you pay for it?

0:14:27 > 0:14:31- 40 or 50 quid, possibly. - Yeah, you probably would.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33Guys, buy it!

0:14:33 > 0:14:35It's a pound!!

0:14:35 > 0:14:40- Shall we keep going? We've plenty of time.- What if it's gone? Shall we ask them to keep it for ten minutes?

0:14:40 > 0:14:43- Till we decide.- People aren't queuing up for it!

0:14:43 > 0:14:46I shouldn't worry!

0:14:46 > 0:14:50- Can you hang onto that for ten minutes till we think?- Yes.

0:14:50 > 0:14:52- Thank you.- Can you throw in the tuba as well?

0:14:52 > 0:14:56- Ten minutes to go.- Come on. - Let's crack on.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59Are you sure, blues? That is a bargain!

0:15:04 > 0:15:06Ooh, look, four candles!

0:15:06 > 0:15:08- Fork 'andles!- Fork 'andles!

0:15:10 > 0:15:13No, I do the jokes!

0:15:13 > 0:15:14Really?

0:15:14 > 0:15:16Sir, can I ask how much the mirror is?

0:15:16 > 0:15:18- 140.- 140.- Right.

0:15:18 > 0:15:23It's such a shame, really. That was made in 1860, 1870.

0:15:23 > 0:15:26- Yes.- It's 140 years old.

0:15:26 > 0:15:28- A pound a year!- Exactly.

0:15:28 > 0:15:31It's a lovely antique piece of furniture.

0:15:31 > 0:15:35- The woodwork.- The scroll work. The lovely scrolled feet.

0:15:35 > 0:15:37It's a beautiful flame mahogany.

0:15:37 > 0:15:41It's such a shame that they're not worth very much.

0:15:41 > 0:15:44- It is a shame. It's something we can come back to.- Yes.

0:15:44 > 0:15:46Very possibly.

0:15:46 > 0:15:48- Let's go.- OK.

0:15:48 > 0:15:50Onwards and upwards.

0:15:55 > 0:15:57Where's the mirror gone?

0:15:57 > 0:15:59Oh, no!

0:15:59 > 0:16:01Where's the mirror?

0:16:01 > 0:16:03She's just sold it for 40 quid.

0:16:03 > 0:16:04- No!- Yes.

0:16:04 > 0:16:06Oh, Ken!

0:16:06 > 0:16:08I told you to buy it!

0:16:08 > 0:16:10Don't be depressed, Ken.

0:16:10 > 0:16:13You go, James. Cheer the poor boy up.

0:16:13 > 0:16:17Your magic touch was relayed on our first purchase.

0:16:17 > 0:16:19Don't worry about that.

0:16:19 > 0:16:25- I'm still happy with the jewellery. - I think we should negotiate hard with that jewellery lady.

0:16:25 > 0:16:26Two items.

0:16:26 > 0:16:30Do you think we could get her down to 50 quid each?

0:16:30 > 0:16:33Good distraction tactics, Mr Braxton.

0:16:39 > 0:16:43I would probably say this is going to be 1900 or so.

0:16:43 > 0:16:46- It's an antique.- Yes. - But it's early 20th century.

0:16:46 > 0:16:48How much is this barometer, sir?

0:16:48 > 0:16:52It could be 195.

0:16:52 > 0:16:57Well, no, it's lovely. It's unusual with the clock and things.

0:16:57 > 0:16:59But I don't think for the sale room.

0:16:59 > 0:17:02- We may see you later. - Thank you very much.

0:17:05 > 0:17:08The clock's ticking. Right, go for it, blues.

0:17:15 > 0:17:17- I press the pink. - We should just go for the one.

0:17:17 > 0:17:23The bracelet stands out, doesn't it? When you look at the two together, it jumps out at you.

0:17:23 > 0:17:24We're tight for cash.

0:17:24 > 0:17:27The lowest I could go on this piece would be...

0:17:27 > 0:17:31- um...- 50?- No, I'm working it out.

0:17:31 > 0:17:33No, no, no. It would be 80.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36I wouldn't go any lower than that. It's a signed piece.

0:17:36 > 0:17:38We said we'd do 145 for the two.

0:17:38 > 0:17:43- I'll take another £10 off, but that is my final offer.- 135. - 135 for the pair.

0:17:43 > 0:17:48- If you're really good, I'll put the bracelet in a nice box as well.- Ooh.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51- KEN:- You OK with that? - Yeah, and it gives him some money.

0:17:51 > 0:17:55- OK.- Give it a go. Thank you. Well done. Thank you very much indeed.

0:17:55 > 0:17:59- Well done, Josie. Well done. - You'll have to be my friend now!

0:17:59 > 0:18:01You got your jewellery in the end!

0:18:03 > 0:18:05So, items two and three for 135.

0:18:05 > 0:18:08The bracelet for 70 and the brooch for 65.

0:18:08 > 0:18:11In the blink of an eye, the blues are done!

0:18:12 > 0:18:15- It's 1903, it's got here. - That's attractive.

0:18:15 > 0:18:18- Is it silver?- Yeah, that's silver.

0:18:18 > 0:18:19135.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22All the marks on this should be matching.

0:18:22 > 0:18:26- Yes. And they're the same? - They match.- Indeed.

0:18:26 > 0:18:32But it's not shouting at you, is it? You didn't say, "I love that, Mark!" So we'll move on.

0:18:32 > 0:18:37Careful, guys, it's quiet. The stallholders are packing up.

0:18:39 > 0:18:41Four minutes left, now.

0:18:41 > 0:18:45I think we should go back and see about the cruet set and inkwell.

0:18:45 > 0:18:49- Malcolm, do you want to look at the barometer?- The barometer.

0:18:49 > 0:18:53Well, your choices are silver, silver or silver.

0:18:53 > 0:18:55Excuse me, madam.

0:18:55 > 0:18:59Now, we've got two-and-a-half minutes. I'm going to talk fast!

0:18:59 > 0:19:04This is marked at 135. What would be the best on that?

0:19:04 > 0:19:06- 110.- Right. You've got 30 seconds.

0:19:06 > 0:19:10- I think we'll go with that. - Go with that.- We'll go at that.

0:19:10 > 0:19:14- There was a thing you liked, but we've no time.- No. You couldn't do it for 100?

0:19:14 > 0:19:17- No.- That's your best price? - 110 is the limit.

0:19:17 > 0:19:19OK. That's it, then.

0:19:19 > 0:19:23- Is that the deal?- Yes, it's a deal. - Lovely. Thank you.- Thank you.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25- Well, I'm exhausted.- So am I!

0:19:25 > 0:19:29- Yes.- Time for a cup of tea. - Most definitely. Let's go!

0:19:29 > 0:19:32Phew, that was close!

0:19:32 > 0:19:37This silver and glass inkwell for £110 completes the reds' shop.

0:19:37 > 0:19:39And relax!

0:19:41 > 0:19:45That's it. Decisions made, monies spent.

0:19:45 > 0:19:49So who made the best buys? You decide.

0:19:49 > 0:19:52Malcolm and Carolyn got off to a great start.

0:19:52 > 0:19:54Carolyn talked the talk,

0:19:54 > 0:19:57bagging the matching decanters for £38.

0:19:59 > 0:20:02They spent another 38 on the Cantonese vase.

0:20:05 > 0:20:08But they took it to the wire, and with seconds to spare,

0:20:08 > 0:20:11settled on the inkwell for £110.

0:20:15 > 0:20:19I'm really sorry, guys, we had so little time to make our decisions.

0:20:19 > 0:20:21Certainly at the end. My goodness!

0:20:21 > 0:20:24- But you like a bit of excitement! - I certainly do!

0:20:24 > 0:20:27- How much did you spend?- £186.

0:20:27 > 0:20:30I'd like £114 of leftover lolly.

0:20:30 > 0:20:32That's it. And the coinage.

0:20:32 > 0:20:3414. Very good.

0:20:34 > 0:20:37You've got the time, Mark, and now you've got the money!

0:20:39 > 0:20:42- What are you going to get up to? - We nearly didn't have the time,

0:20:42 > 0:20:46so I'm going to try and get them something they'd be proud of me for.

0:20:46 > 0:20:48We're always proud of you, Mark!

0:20:48 > 0:20:51- Bless you.- Have a lovely time. Good luck, Mark.

0:20:51 > 0:20:55Meanwhile, let's remind ourselves of what the blue team bought.

0:20:56 > 0:20:59Ken and Josie started in theatrical style,

0:20:59 > 0:21:02with Ken seeing a profit in this make-up box

0:21:02 > 0:21:04bought for a tenner.

0:21:07 > 0:21:09Then came disappointment.

0:21:09 > 0:21:12But after that bargain slipped through their fingers,

0:21:12 > 0:21:15two came along at once for 135.

0:21:15 > 0:21:18This silver and agate bracelet for 70,

0:21:18 > 0:21:22and a silver and enamel brooch for £65.

0:21:24 > 0:21:27- Well done.- We can go and get a cup of tea now!

0:21:27 > 0:21:28Can we?

0:21:28 > 0:21:31Too soon for tea. I want your leftover lolly.

0:21:31 > 0:21:33Not me. Ask him.

0:21:33 > 0:21:36- Did you enjoy your shop? - Yes, we did. We had a good time.

0:21:36 > 0:21:41- Which was your favourite piece? - Some of us had a good time. - Don't ask about the mirror.

0:21:41 > 0:21:44No mirrors. How much did you spend overall?

0:21:44 > 0:21:49- 145.- 145. I'd like £155 of leftover lolly.

0:21:49 > 0:21:53That's it, is it? Got a fiver in there? 155. Thank you.

0:21:53 > 0:21:58- Look at Braxton's face, lighting up! - Is that the most money you've had to spend here?

0:21:58 > 0:22:00- He loves £155.- Certainly it is.

0:22:01 > 0:22:07So, £155, James. What's your target to go and buy the bonus buy?

0:22:07 > 0:22:11I'll have to work hard. It looks like a lunar landscape out there.

0:22:11 > 0:22:15But I'm sure I'll find something big and sculptural in a cattle shed.

0:22:15 > 0:22:17Like a mirror?

0:22:17 > 0:22:21I think we'll drop this mirror subject!

0:22:21 > 0:22:26Very good luck, chaps. Meanwhile, we're heading off somewhere utterly sublime.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson,

0:22:30 > 0:22:35naval genius, hero and superstar of his age,

0:22:35 > 0:22:37sounds like a character from a novel.

0:22:37 > 0:22:40But there's nothing imaginary about this chap!

0:22:44 > 0:22:50Here we are in the attic store of the National Museum of the Royal Navy

0:22:50 > 0:22:56where, via a few objects, I'm going to be able to put some flesh

0:22:56 > 0:23:01onto the bones of Britain's premier naval hero.

0:23:01 > 0:23:04Here we've got a later-leather-bound volume

0:23:04 > 0:23:09that dates back to Nelson's very beginning in the Royal Navy.

0:23:09 > 0:23:13It was presented to him in 1771

0:23:13 > 0:23:16as a little stripling midshipman.

0:23:16 > 0:23:21He was 12 years of age. It says here that it's a present

0:23:21 > 0:23:24from Horatio's uncle, a Captain Suckling.

0:23:24 > 0:23:30It's a book he would have used to help him calculate longitude

0:23:30 > 0:23:34because, of course, midshipmen, as part of their long training,

0:23:34 > 0:23:36needed to know how to navigate.

0:23:36 > 0:23:42Nelson, of course, is a man who was forever in the wars, literally.

0:23:42 > 0:23:44In 1794,

0:23:44 > 0:23:51he nearly lost all his sight in his right eye, in Corsica.

0:23:51 > 0:23:53Three years later, in Tenerife,

0:23:53 > 0:23:59he had a terrific injury thanks to a musket ball in his right arm

0:23:59 > 0:24:01which ultimately was amputated.

0:24:01 > 0:24:05Here in the museum they have examples of his handwriting.

0:24:05 > 0:24:11In a letter dated 1795, you can see his cursive script

0:24:11 > 0:24:14using his then intact right arm.

0:24:14 > 0:24:17But immediately after the amputation,

0:24:17 > 0:24:21he's practising already with his left hand.

0:24:21 > 0:24:27This is the first piece of paper that he inscribed using his remaining left arm.

0:24:27 > 0:24:33It says, "God bless you and Freemantle. Horatio Nelson."

0:24:33 > 0:24:36An incredibly brave fellow.

0:24:36 > 0:24:40But a man as a human being who was also flawed.

0:24:40 > 0:24:44He treated his wife abominably

0:24:44 > 0:24:47and he ran off with the wife of another,

0:24:47 > 0:24:50scandalising society.

0:24:50 > 0:24:55As Captain Nelson he had met, a few years earlier,

0:24:55 > 0:24:59the wife of the British envoy, Sir William Hamilton, in Naples.

0:24:59 > 0:25:02When he returned to Naples

0:25:02 > 0:25:07after the Battle of the Nile on 1 August 1798,

0:25:07 > 0:25:11he fell for Emma Hamilton big time.

0:25:11 > 0:25:13Here she is,

0:25:13 > 0:25:16preserved by Bone, the miniaturist,

0:25:16 > 0:25:18painted on ivory.

0:25:18 > 0:25:24She started her life as a prostitute in a bath house in Piccadilly.

0:25:24 > 0:25:30Later, she was passed on to the elderly envoy to George III in Naples,

0:25:30 > 0:25:32Sir William Hamilton.

0:25:32 > 0:25:36She lived with him for five years until he ultimately married her

0:25:36 > 0:25:39before she met Admiral Nelson.

0:25:39 > 0:25:42The three of them lived together perfectly happily

0:25:42 > 0:25:44in a menage a trois.

0:25:44 > 0:25:49This lovely miniature is backed by a coil of her hair

0:25:49 > 0:25:54which is this lovely auburn chestnut shade,

0:25:54 > 0:25:57one of her most distinctive features.

0:25:57 > 0:26:02It was indeed the elderly husband, Sir William Hamilton,

0:26:02 > 0:26:06who bequeathed this miniature to Nelson following his death.

0:26:06 > 0:26:11When they left Italy and returned to England all together in 1801,

0:26:11 > 0:26:13they stopped off in Vienna,

0:26:13 > 0:26:17which is when Nelson had this plaster life mask

0:26:17 > 0:26:20cast from his face.

0:26:20 > 0:26:25This is a true and accurate likeness of Nelson when he was alive.

0:26:25 > 0:26:29If this had been a death mask, the configuration of muscle and flesh

0:26:29 > 0:26:32simply would not have looked like this.

0:26:32 > 0:26:36And it's a really nice true depiction

0:26:36 > 0:26:39of what Nelson actually looked like.

0:26:39 > 0:26:46The question today is, at the auction, will our teams have to put a brave face on their efforts?

0:26:56 > 0:27:01Today we're at Denham's sale room in West Sussex, just outside Horsham

0:27:01 > 0:27:05- with Simon Langton, our auctioneer. Morning, Simon.- Morning.

0:27:05 > 0:27:11Now, for the red team, their first item are these two very similar, but not matching decanters.

0:27:11 > 0:27:13It's almost a matched pair, isn't it?

0:27:13 > 0:27:17Put them farther away on the table and you won't tell the difference.

0:27:17 > 0:27:21- Does this cut glass sell OK? - It's not as good as it used to be.

0:27:21 > 0:27:24We're talking 30 to £50 for a pair like that.

0:27:24 > 0:27:28- That's all right as our team paid 38.- Right.

0:27:28 > 0:27:30They're in the frame, anyway.

0:27:30 > 0:27:33Brilliant. Now, the Canton vase

0:27:33 > 0:27:40- which I suppose has got a new top rim to it?- If you look closely, we've got the bottom half of bodies!

0:27:40 > 0:27:44- Have we?- We're missing... There's a foot!

0:27:44 > 0:27:45Oh, yes!

0:27:45 > 0:27:50So this thing would have gone on for a considerable distance

0:27:50 > 0:27:54above where it got broken before this chap was put on.

0:27:54 > 0:27:57- Another two or three inches on top. - That's interesting.

0:27:57 > 0:28:00Anyway, as an altered piece,

0:28:00 > 0:28:03decorative enough. How much?

0:28:03 > 0:28:06Again, it's broken, so we're talking 30 to 50.

0:28:06 > 0:28:09That's OK with our team. They only paid £38.

0:28:09 > 0:28:13- So they might turn a small profit. - Quite canny.- They're canny enough.

0:28:13 > 0:28:17- They've been watching Bargain Hunt for years!- Ah, well!

0:28:17 > 0:28:22And their last item which they bought because they know that boat-shaped objects in silver

0:28:22 > 0:28:27do quite nicely, which they tend to, we've got a boat-shaped inkwell.

0:28:27 > 0:28:33- Right.- Modest proportions. - Sheffield. About 1910, thereabouts. Nice shape to it.

0:28:33 > 0:28:37Cut glass inkwell still there. 70 to 90 for that one.

0:28:37 > 0:28:39Ah, this could be their comeuppance.

0:28:39 > 0:28:41They paid £110.

0:28:41 > 0:28:43- On the money there. - On the money for that.

0:28:43 > 0:28:48- So what they make on these two by way of miserable profits, they may lose.- Swings and roundabouts.

0:28:48 > 0:28:54Could be it, couldn't it? If you're right, they'll need their bonus buy. Let's have a look at it.

0:28:55 > 0:28:58Malcolm and Carolyn, you had a wonderful shop up.

0:28:58 > 0:29:05You spent a magnificent £186 and £114 went to Mark. Mark, what have you got?

0:29:07 > 0:29:10- Ooh!- A backscratcher?- No!

0:29:10 > 0:29:14- I don't think so. You could probably use it as that.- Good.

0:29:14 > 0:29:18But it's not a backscratcher. It's actually... The mark is a bit rubbed,

0:29:18 > 0:29:20but I think it's mid-18th century.

0:29:20 > 0:29:23- It's a solid silver marrow scoop. - Wow.- Right.

0:29:23 > 0:29:25George II, early George III.

0:29:25 > 0:29:28Lovely colour.

0:29:28 > 0:29:34I wanted to buy you something a bit different from the items we bought on the shopping day.

0:29:34 > 0:29:37Something a bit interesting for you.

0:29:37 > 0:29:41- Hopefully.- How much did you pay for it?- Quite a lot!

0:29:41 > 0:29:44- Did you?- For that?- Yes.- Go on.

0:29:44 > 0:29:46- £100.- Agh!- Right.- OK.

0:29:46 > 0:29:50- £100.- Is it going to make a profit for us, do you think?

0:29:50 > 0:29:54I would hope there might a be a 20 to £30 profit in it.

0:29:54 > 0:29:59- Good.- I haven't seen a marrow scoop at auction for quite a while.

0:29:59 > 0:30:02They don't come up every day of the week.

0:30:02 > 0:30:09- That could be an advantage.- The silver dealers, silver collectors, it might be their chance to buy one.

0:30:09 > 0:30:10Scoop up a profit!

0:30:10 > 0:30:13Anyway, with that happy thought,

0:30:13 > 0:30:18think on, because you don't decide until after the sale of your three items.

0:30:18 > 0:30:22For viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Mark's scoop.

0:30:22 > 0:30:27OK, Simon, no modern household can be complete without a marrow scoop!

0:30:27 > 0:30:30No, we regularly have soup, so we'll always use a good marrow scoop.

0:30:32 > 0:30:36Right. OK. Bottom mark a nice 18th-century mark.

0:30:36 > 0:30:41- We're talking round about 50 to £75 for that one.- £100 they paid.

0:30:41 > 0:30:43A little bit top end.

0:30:43 > 0:30:46Doesn't look so hot. Anyway, that's it for the reds.

0:30:46 > 0:30:50And now for the blues. A mixture here.

0:30:50 > 0:30:53The theatrical make-up box.

0:30:53 > 0:30:58- Have you got your make-up on today? - A bit of blusher!

0:30:58 > 0:30:59Yes!

0:30:59 > 0:31:02- What do you think it's worth? - I put 20 to £30 on that one.

0:31:02 > 0:31:04That's not much per stick!

0:31:04 > 0:31:07- They'll be delighted. They only paid £10.- Right.

0:31:07 > 0:31:10- The little tin box is worth a tenner.- I think so, yes.

0:31:10 > 0:31:17Perfect. Next up is the Scottish bracelet which apparently is hallmarked for 1954.

0:31:17 > 0:31:21- It's a bit late for this sort of work.- Late, isn't it?

0:31:21 > 0:31:25It's a classic high Victorian polished agate stones.

0:31:25 > 0:31:28- But '54, a bit late.- Pretty, though.

0:31:28 > 0:31:32Yes, it's got a name. 30 to £50 on it.

0:31:32 > 0:31:33£70 paid.

0:31:33 > 0:31:40I mean, it might get there. What about the Juliano lookalike brooch?

0:31:40 > 0:31:43Again, costume jewellery never fails to astonish me what it makes.

0:31:43 > 0:31:46It's very popular at the moment.

0:31:46 > 0:31:49Having said which I've put an estimate of 30 to £50 on it.

0:31:49 > 0:31:53- So you're not that positive? - It's a brooch.- A brooch. - Brooches are a bit...

0:31:53 > 0:31:55Anyway, how much for the pin?

0:31:55 > 0:31:59Right. We're talking round about 30 to 50 on that one.

0:31:59 > 0:32:02£65 paid.

0:32:02 > 0:32:04- It's a bit on the money, isn't it? - It is.

0:32:04 > 0:32:07They'll need their bonus buy. Let's have a look.

0:32:07 > 0:32:12Now, Ken and Josie, you spent £145, which is pretty miserable.

0:32:12 > 0:32:17You gave the man 155 of leftover lolly. What did you buy, James?

0:32:17 > 0:32:20- Not a lot.- Oh, we've seen this before. Yes.

0:32:20 > 0:32:25- I remember this.- The American jug. - Exactly. Well done. Well done.

0:32:25 > 0:32:29- You didn't spend all our money on this?- No, course I didn't!

0:32:29 > 0:32:31- Only the...- 60, wasn't it?

0:32:31 > 0:32:3335?

0:32:33 > 0:32:35I bought that for 25.

0:32:35 > 0:32:37- Oh, God!- That's all right.

0:32:37 > 0:32:40- It's a nice quality item. - How much will it sell for?

0:32:40 > 0:32:44Sell for? My estimate, I don't know.

0:32:44 > 0:32:47- Anywhere between 20 and £40. - You could double your money.

0:32:47 > 0:32:49- We could.- And we might not!

0:32:49 > 0:32:52We could lose 20 quid.

0:32:52 > 0:32:55- That's the dodgy moment, isn't it? - It's very nice.- Think about it.

0:32:55 > 0:32:59For the audience at home, let's see what the auctioneer thinks.

0:33:01 > 0:33:07There you go, Simon. What you've always wanted to see. A genuine piece of plated silver.

0:33:07 > 0:33:08Right. OK.

0:33:08 > 0:33:12It's an American silver-plated jug. Um...

0:33:12 > 0:33:14Does that help it, being American?

0:33:14 > 0:33:19- Rather than being English silver plate?- Not unless it's got Tiffany's written on it!

0:33:19 > 0:33:22But in this case it hasn't, so we're talking 20 to £30.

0:33:22 > 0:33:26OK. £25 paid by James Braxton as a bonus buy.

0:33:26 > 0:33:29- You never know. The team might not take it.- No.

0:33:29 > 0:33:32Exciting! Thank you, Simon.

0:33:38 > 0:33:43Before we auction today's bargains, take a look at this.

0:33:46 > 0:33:48Here's a game old bird!

0:33:48 > 0:33:52It's actually Japanese and it dates from around about 1900.

0:33:52 > 0:33:55On the face of it,

0:33:55 > 0:34:01it looks incredibly uncomfortable the way it's standing on top of this trunk

0:34:01 > 0:34:03and leafage.

0:34:03 > 0:34:08The reason for that is, it's not supposed to stand like that at all!

0:34:08 > 0:34:10It's got a square peg

0:34:10 > 0:34:15which fits into the top of the river stump

0:34:15 > 0:34:17but where this front leg is positioned,

0:34:17 > 0:34:22this curious twisting over, would indicate that it's fallen and got bent.

0:34:22 > 0:34:25It needs some restoration.

0:34:25 > 0:34:30But look at the plumage. Look at the colour of the bird's body.

0:34:30 > 0:34:34This is expert Japanese gilding

0:34:34 > 0:34:39where each of the feathers is individually formed

0:34:39 > 0:34:41and the colour is just great.

0:34:41 > 0:34:44I can't tell you how much I like the base, though.

0:34:44 > 0:34:47I think that's absolutely stellar.

0:34:47 > 0:34:49If I was a Japanese scholar,

0:34:49 > 0:34:53I'd be able to point to that little plaque in the base

0:34:53 > 0:34:56which has been inscribed with Japanese characters,

0:34:56 > 0:34:59and tell you who the sculptor is.

0:34:59 > 0:35:03What's a lovely ornithological bronze like this worth?

0:35:03 > 0:35:07Well, I would have thought this should sit comfortably

0:35:07 > 0:35:11with an estimate of 300 to £400.

0:35:11 > 0:35:18But at 50 to £70, that makes this a bit of a bargain!

0:35:19 > 0:35:22Let's catch up with the red team. It's their moment of truth.

0:35:25 > 0:35:29- Malcolm, Carolyn, this is exciting, isn't it?- Very exciting!

0:35:29 > 0:35:33The first lot up are your two Georgian decanters. Here they come.

0:35:33 > 0:35:39Lot 220 is the matched pair of 19th-century ring-necked decanters and stoppers.

0:35:39 > 0:35:42There they are, being held up for you.

0:35:42 > 0:35:44And I am bid ten, 12, 14,

0:35:44 > 0:35:4716, 18, 20 and two.

0:35:47 > 0:35:5024. 26. 28. 30.

0:35:50 > 0:35:54- With me now at £30.- Come on!- All done and selling now at £30.

0:35:54 > 0:35:56All done at 30, are we?

0:35:56 > 0:35:59- Fairly close.- £30. Very quick.

0:35:59 > 0:36:01Minus £8. Sorry about that.

0:36:01 > 0:36:05The Canton famille rose porcelain vase, with courtly figures.

0:36:05 > 0:36:07Reduced in height. There we have it.

0:36:07 > 0:36:10What do we say for this one? £30 for it, do we say?

0:36:10 > 0:36:13I'm bid 30 straight in. Do I see the two?

0:36:13 > 0:36:17At £30, now. Maiden bid at 30. Looking for two anywhere. £30.

0:36:17 > 0:36:20- Cheap lot here at 30.- Come on! - Do I see the two? Art £30.

0:36:20 > 0:36:23Going to sell at 30, then. And two, just in time.

0:36:23 > 0:36:2634. 36. 38. 40?

0:36:26 > 0:36:30At £38. Sure you won't go 40?

0:36:30 > 0:36:34At £38. All done at 38 and selling now.

0:36:34 > 0:36:35- £38 wiped its face!- Yes!

0:36:35 > 0:36:38The wrong thing wiped its face!

0:36:38 > 0:36:41This is what we want to wipe its face, the inkwell.

0:36:41 > 0:36:42I'm nervous about this!

0:36:42 > 0:36:44Inkwell. There it is.

0:36:44 > 0:36:46Sheffield. 1903. Nice little thing.

0:36:46 > 0:36:49And I am bid 50.

0:36:49 > 0:36:50And five. 60. And five.

0:36:50 > 0:36:5370. With me at 70. And five.

0:36:53 > 0:36:5575 left-handed. Do I see 80? 80.

0:36:55 > 0:36:56And five. 90.

0:36:56 > 0:36:5885 with you.

0:36:58 > 0:37:0285. Going to sell. 90 is going. And five. 100?

0:37:02 > 0:37:08At 95, left-handed. All done and selling now at £95. At 95, are we?

0:37:08 > 0:37:12So close, £95. You're minus £15 on that.

0:37:12 > 0:37:15Which means overall you're minus 23.

0:37:15 > 0:37:21- So, to marrow scoop or not to marrow scoop?- That is the question.

0:37:21 > 0:37:23It is the question, and it's quite a big question.

0:37:23 > 0:37:26It's £100-worth of marrow scoop.

0:37:26 > 0:37:31- And you're minus 23 which could be a winning score.- Yes, it could be.

0:37:31 > 0:37:32What do you think, Carolyn?

0:37:32 > 0:37:36- I think we...- Go on, spit it out.

0:37:36 > 0:37:38- ..don't go with it. - You don't go with it?

0:37:38 > 0:37:43- No offence, Mark.- Sorry, Mark. - None taken. I won't be offended.

0:37:43 > 0:37:48- I think...- Let's keep it at minus 23.- Keep it as minus 23.

0:37:48 > 0:37:51- Ring-fence minus 23.- Yes. - OK. Sure about that?- Yes.

0:37:51 > 0:37:55OK, we're not going with the bonus buy, but we're going to sell it anyway.

0:37:55 > 0:37:58Let's see what happens. No bonus buy, but here it comes.

0:37:58 > 0:38:01The antique double-ended marrow scoop.

0:38:01 > 0:38:04Nice clear Georgian marks to it.

0:38:04 > 0:38:07What do I say for it? 50? I'm bid 30 and five.

0:38:07 > 0:38:1040 and five. 50 and five now?

0:38:10 > 0:38:1255, left-handed. Do I see 60?

0:38:12 > 0:38:15And five. 70.

0:38:15 > 0:38:16- And five.- Stop!

0:38:16 > 0:38:1970 to the head. All done and selling at 70, are we?

0:38:19 > 0:38:22Away it goes now at £70, then.

0:38:22 > 0:38:26- The right decision. Well done. - The right decision.- Minus £30.

0:38:26 > 0:38:30But you've ring-fenced your losses at minus 23, which is your score,

0:38:30 > 0:38:33- which could well be a winning score. - Let's hope.

0:38:33 > 0:38:36- Just don't say a word to the blues! - No, never!

0:38:41 > 0:38:44So, the Oriental bird.

0:38:44 > 0:38:47Beautifully cast, a bit wonky in the legs,

0:38:47 > 0:38:49estimate 50 to £75.

0:38:49 > 0:38:53Tremendous amount of bids here. I'm bid 320, 340, 360, 380,

0:38:53 > 0:38:55400 and 20.

0:38:55 > 0:38:57At 420. Anybody give me 440?

0:38:57 > 0:39:00- Telephone bid.- 440. 460. 480.

0:39:00 > 0:39:02500 and 20.

0:39:02 > 0:39:04- Second telephone!- 540.

0:39:04 > 0:39:06560.

0:39:06 > 0:39:09560 in the room now. 580. 600.

0:39:09 > 0:39:12I thought a nought had been left off!

0:39:12 > 0:39:15660. 680.

0:39:15 > 0:39:16700.

0:39:16 > 0:39:19- Going on!- And 20. 740.

0:39:19 > 0:39:21760?

0:39:22 > 0:39:27At 740. Seated now. 740. All done at 740, are we?

0:39:27 > 0:39:31£740. Now that's what you call a result!

0:39:31 > 0:39:36So, let's see if the blues' items will fly. Remember,

0:39:36 > 0:39:39the reds made a loss of £23.

0:39:39 > 0:39:43- Josie, how do you feel?- Absolutely fine.- Full of confidence?- Oh, yes!

0:39:43 > 0:39:46First off is the make-up. Here it comes.

0:39:46 > 0:39:50The rectangular japanned theatrical make-up box.

0:39:50 > 0:39:53As we see it there. What do we say

0:39:53 > 0:39:56for this one? £10 for it, do we say?

0:39:56 > 0:39:59- Come along, now. Five to get us going.- Come on!

0:39:59 > 0:40:01I'm bid five pounds. Six, here.

0:40:01 > 0:40:05Seven. Eight. Seven at the back.

0:40:05 > 0:40:09I'm looking for eight. Eight here. Nine. Ten? Nine at the back.

0:40:09 > 0:40:12- You never know who might have used it.- No thespians here!

0:40:12 > 0:40:17At £9 with you. I'm going to sell at nine. All done at nine?

0:40:17 > 0:40:21- I can't bear it. £9.- That was our best hope!- You are minus £1. - Criminal!

0:40:21 > 0:40:25- Here's the bracelet. - Lot 241 is the silver bracelet,

0:40:25 > 0:40:30set to seven square pendants, as we see them, polished stone pendants.

0:40:30 > 0:40:31What do we say for this one?

0:40:31 > 0:40:33£30 for it? 30 straight in.

0:40:33 > 0:40:35Do I see two? At £30. Looking for two.

0:40:35 > 0:40:39At £30. Maiden bid at £30. Do I see the two?

0:40:39 > 0:40:43At £30. I'm going to sell now at 30. All done at 30?

0:40:43 > 0:40:46- Maiden bid! We're lucky to get 30! - Minus £40.

0:40:46 > 0:40:49- Oh, dear.- I'll buy it off them when we go outside!

0:40:49 > 0:40:53This isn't good. Here comes "Juliano".

0:40:53 > 0:40:57A brooch. There we are. Handsome brooch hung with pendant.

0:40:57 > 0:41:00I'm bid 22, 24, 26, 28, 30.

0:41:00 > 0:41:04And two. 34. 36. 36 left-handed now.

0:41:04 > 0:41:08Are we all done and selling at £36? All done at 36, are we?

0:41:08 > 0:41:1436 is four short of 40. You are minus 29 on that.

0:41:14 > 0:41:1740, 50, 69, 70.

0:41:17 > 0:41:18Minus £70.

0:41:18 > 0:41:23- Are you going with the bonus buy or not?- Yes.- You're going with it.

0:41:23 > 0:41:27Lot 245 is the American silver-plated water jug.

0:41:27 > 0:41:30There we are. Large plated water jug for you.

0:41:30 > 0:41:33I'm bid ten, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20,

0:41:33 > 0:41:36and two, 24. We're now at £24, then.

0:41:36 > 0:41:40Are we done and selling at £24? Away it goes at 24, then.

0:41:40 > 0:41:42Bad luck, James, that is minus £1.

0:41:42 > 0:41:45Which means you're minus £71 overall.

0:41:45 > 0:41:48- Don't say a word to the reds. - Fair enough.- Thank you very much.

0:41:53 > 0:41:56Well, well, well, well, well!

0:41:56 > 0:41:59- What fun! You been chatting, you teams?- No.- No.

0:41:59 > 0:42:05- No communicating going on? - No.- That's unusual with a theatrical lot!

0:42:05 > 0:42:07They're very keen on chatting! Anyway,

0:42:07 > 0:42:12it is my duty to reveal who the winners and the runners-up are.

0:42:12 > 0:42:14No losers on Bargain Hunt, just runners-up!

0:42:14 > 0:42:18And they are, by a substantial margin today, the blues.

0:42:18 > 0:42:20Sorry about that!

0:42:22 > 0:42:24Congratulations.

0:42:24 > 0:42:30- You have lost on every single item, which is not so hot. - Quite an achievement!

0:42:30 > 0:42:34There we are. Perhaps there is a message here about the jewellery.

0:42:34 > 0:42:37- But, nevertheless, had a good time? - Lovely, thank you.

0:42:37 > 0:42:42- Good for you, Ken?- Wonderful.- We've loved having you on the programme. Brave,

0:42:42 > 0:42:46even in adversity to the end. Thank you very much.

0:42:46 > 0:42:48But the victors today, yes!

0:42:48 > 0:42:52The reds have won by only managing to lose £23.

0:42:52 > 0:42:54£23 is not too bad.

0:42:54 > 0:42:58You didn't go with the bonus buy, which was a smart move!

0:42:58 > 0:43:00And you managed to preserve it.

0:43:00 > 0:43:05It's always nice to have a wiped face, and you had one of those, which is jolly nice.

0:43:05 > 0:43:11- Had a nice time, Malcolm?- Enjoyed it thoroughly.- Good for you? - Fabulous.- We loved seeing you.

0:43:11 > 0:43:13Join us soon for more bargain hunting, yes?

0:43:13 > 0:43:15Yes!
