0:00:02 > 0:00:03- There you are! - PHONE RINGS
0:00:03 > 0:00:06My telephone's ringing? Not my phone. Whose phone?
0:00:07 > 0:00:10- PHONE RINGS - Look at this! I can't be doing with this.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:00:41 > 0:00:45Today, we've pulled into Old London Road in Kingston
0:00:45 > 0:00:47in Surrey.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50We may be in the heart of the Home Counties here
0:00:50 > 0:00:53but are our contestants going to be feeling at home?
0:00:54 > 0:00:57The reds are relying heavily on Philip Serrell
0:00:57 > 0:00:59to point them in the right direction.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01- We can make a decision later. - Make a decision?
0:01:01 > 0:01:04That's the last thing we want on this programme.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07While David Barby takes control of the haggling
0:01:07 > 0:01:09to give the Blues an edge.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13What did they say, David? They've come down from 88 to £40.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15My goodness.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18But will different tactics help them make a profit at auction?
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Oh, my goodness.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26- Hello, everyone.- Hi.- Hello, Tim. - Lovely to see you.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28So, Kelvin, how did you two meet?
0:01:28 > 0:01:32I like to tell people I met Jean walking the streets of Soho.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- Oh, Lord.- In 1976.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- She doesn't look like that type of girl.- I'm not!
0:01:38 > 0:01:43- I'm not.- This always raises people's eyebrows but she was a policewoman at the time.- Ah!
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- And I was a young policeman. - Were you?- Yes.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50It could be classified as an act of God, really, Kelvin.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54- What do you do now?- I'm actually a vicar now.- Well, there you go.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58- This is what I'm talking about - God and acts of his.- Yes.
0:01:58 > 0:02:03I'm the vicar of St Paul's in Stratford, E15,
0:02:03 > 0:02:10and I have the honour to be the chaplain for the Olympic park construction workforce.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12All of which is happening round the corner.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15I'm closer to it than we are to the traffic lights out the front,
0:02:15 > 0:02:19- so it's a fantastic role.- Yes.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- Now, Jean, you're no longer a policewoman, either?- No.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23I've gone through a few jobs
0:02:23 > 0:02:27but what I actually do, if you was to ask me what I am, is an author.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- Are you?- Yes, I am.
0:02:29 > 0:02:34I'm an author and you can probably tell that I'm a native Londoner, East Ender.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36I did have a suspicion.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40I'm an East Ender, born and bred within the sound of Bow Bells,
0:02:40 > 0:02:46and I now write Victorian women's fiction based round East London,
0:02:46 > 0:02:48in all the streets where I grew up.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50So will you be going for Victorian things today?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Might do, might do. I don't know what we're going for.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57I like pictures. I'm quite visual, so I do like paintings.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00But I think we're going to rely heavily on our expert,
0:03:00 > 0:03:03basically because we haven't got a clue what we're doing.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Well, that is brutally frank, isn't it?
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- Anyway, very good luck.- Thank you. - Lovely.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Well, Chris and Ros, how did you two meet?
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Well, it was during the 1966 World Cup series
0:03:15 > 0:03:19and my sister, who's my identical twin,
0:03:19 > 0:03:22was going out with her future husband
0:03:22 > 0:03:27and Chris was a friend of his family.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31I think my brother-in-law must have been very complimentary about my sister
0:03:31 > 0:03:36- because Chris's reaction was, "Any more at home like her?"- Yes, quite.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38And of course, actually, there was more at home.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41It's such a good line if a bloke says, you know,
0:03:41 > 0:03:44"Got any more like that at home?"
0:03:44 > 0:03:47and then from behind the screen an identical twin appears.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- Now, Chris, you're retired...- Yes. - ..but you keep yourself busy
0:03:50 > 0:03:54- with some extreme activities, don't you?- I decided that...
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Everybody makes New Year's resolutions
0:03:57 > 0:04:01and then by January 4th they've all gone by the by,
0:04:01 > 0:04:05so I thought of something different one year.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09Instead of a New Year resolution I decided to do either something new
0:04:09 > 0:04:14that I'd never done before or go somewhere I'd never been to every month.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18- Every month?- And that year, I did several quite interesting things.
0:04:18 > 0:04:23I flew in a two-seater aircraft and had a go at driving it.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26I went in a helicopter for the first time
0:04:26 > 0:04:29and we visited several places, the Caribbean and Prague,
0:04:29 > 0:04:32which is somewhere I'd always wanted to go.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34- A rare old series of treats, anyway. - Yeah, it was good.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38- Are you keen on antiques and objects? Do you collect?- Not really.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40We're more interested in modern collectables.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44- We're fairly minimalist. We don't...- Have clutter.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47We don't but we are interested in more modern things.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50We like good design, jewellery, that sort of thing.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Chris is interested in architecture and we like Art Deco.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Well, there'll be plenty of that about at the antiques centre
0:04:58 > 0:05:00- for you to pounce on.- Absolutely.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02What about the money moment? Here it is.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- There you go, chaps.- Thank you. - £300 apiece.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08You know the rules, your experts await and off you go
0:05:08 > 0:05:10and very, very, very good luck.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Well, well, well, well...
0:05:12 > 0:05:14well, well, well.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18OK, teams, your one hour on the clock starts now.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28- What do you think of this? - It's a nutcracker.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31It's a squirrel.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- Do you do confessionals? - How bad are you?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37I wouldn't mind a word later, if that's all right.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- How long have we got? - Not long enough.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41I wouldn't call that minimalist.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- It's hideous. - That's exactly what I said.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52- Do you like a nice little table? - I do, actually.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54That glass table.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57- Oh, the glass table?- Yeah.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59I thought you meant this one.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- No. I can see that that's really struck a chord.- Yeah.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06- Did you see it by the face, did you? - Oh, goodness.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Looks like you've got your work cut out today, Phil.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11No, that's the lid. It's a slide-on lid.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Oh, that's fine, it's not broken, then, is it?
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Kelvin and Jean have spotted something they like
0:06:17 > 0:06:21and Phil's determined not to let this opportunity slip away.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- I'd like to have a look at that, my love, please.- OK.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27But he's got his own idea of what they should buy.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31So here we've got an Edwardian mahogany tray, OK?
0:06:31 > 0:06:34With a shaped gallery border
0:06:34 > 0:06:37and these normally get damaged in one way or another
0:06:37 > 0:06:43and this dates to about 1900, 1920 and it's priced at £65.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45If you could get that for 30 quid, that would be OK.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49So that's our first... Let's put it down here.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54I think this is absolutely lovely but I'm a sucker for these things.
0:06:54 > 0:06:59It's this little mahogany box with a sliding cover.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01But it's just a little artist's paint box.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03So you've got your watercolours here.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06I shouldn't think it's ever been used.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08They're a bit broken but that's about it.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12There is damage. That's probably shrinkage rather than anything else.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17- How old would that be?- I would guess that that's 1895, 1900.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21- Isn't it lovely?- I just think it's a nice thing.- I want it.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- It's somebody else wanting it is the issue.- That's right.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26We need to get a price on that, OK?
0:07:26 > 0:07:28This is Tunbridge ware
0:07:28 > 0:07:31and if you can imagine a bundle of different coloured matchsticks
0:07:31 > 0:07:35all tied together and then they just slice the top off
0:07:35 > 0:07:37and inlay them into here.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39These are probably little sewing boxes
0:07:39 > 0:07:43and this one is priced at £32
0:07:43 > 0:07:47and that one is priced at £45.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49So it's 75 quid the two.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52I was thinking if you could get those two for £20 or £30,
0:07:52 > 0:07:56- that would be worth considering. - That's very pretty, that one.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00- I love the tray.- The tray's nice. - Do you?
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- And the paint box. - The paint box is lovely.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- What about the two little boxes? - Erm...
0:08:07 > 0:08:10It depends what we can get them for, really,
0:08:10 > 0:08:12because that's the ultimate aim of it.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Let's take these to the lady and ask her to look for me.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- We can make a decision later. - Make a decision?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20That's the last thing we want on this programme.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24Absolutely! Making decisions is the last thing we need -
0:08:24 > 0:08:26if you want to lose Bargain Hunt, that is.
0:08:27 > 0:08:32At least the Blues have decided they like the look of this £48 brooch.
0:08:32 > 0:08:37- That looks good.- That looks nice. - Oh, look, there's a mark. Danish.
0:08:37 > 0:08:43Sterling silver by Carl Ove Frydenberg.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46But it's Scandinavian, which I think is quite interesting.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49We're interested in Scandinavian jewellery.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Does it matter that it hasn't got a hallmark on it?
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Well, it's stamped there. That's what you'd expect to find.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59I'm not being too bold but let's see what it looks like on a blue ground.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04- That looks good.- Doesn't that look stunning?- Yes?- Really, I...
0:09:04 > 0:09:07If you could see a mirror to see that.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- Is there a mirror around? - There's one just up here.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11Oh, right. OK.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18- Oh, yes.- Doesn't that look absolutely stunning?- Yeah.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22- What do we think about the price? - I'll see if I can get it down.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- Do you really like that?- I do. I do like that. Do you, Chris?
0:09:25 > 0:09:29- If we can get it down a bit. - OK, let's see what I can do.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33There's a lot of wheeling and dealing going on today.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36They've said we can have the lot for £135
0:09:36 > 0:09:40and that's rock bottom, finished, there is no more, that's the end of that.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45OK. I really like the paint box. That's a really nice object.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46It's something I'd want to own.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- Do you want to buy it all? - I like the tray.- I like the tray.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53I notice it's got the gluing...
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Can we offer him 70 quid for that and that?
0:09:55 > 0:09:58WOMAN: 90 on those two.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02What about 80? If he did it for 80, it's a deal.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04If you do it for 80, we've got a deal on that.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Yeah, thanks a lot, Paul.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08Right, bye.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13- Yeah. He won't eat tonight. - He's a gentleman, tell him.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- I'll pray for him.- Bye, bye. - He might need it.- 80.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19So these two are £40 each, £80 the two.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20We've got a bit of an option now.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23We can either take them... We'll leave them here for now
0:10:23 > 0:10:26but we can either put them in the auction as one lot
0:10:26 > 0:10:29or as two lots at £40 each.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Decisions, decisions.
0:10:31 > 0:10:36But, Phil, you are persuading Kelvin and Jean to bend the rules a tad.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Why don't we just call it one lot and get on with the shopping,
0:10:39 > 0:10:40like the Blue team?
0:10:40 > 0:10:44- David, we're having a look at these vases...- Yes?
0:10:44 > 0:10:46..which we quite like, actually.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48But there's a slight amount of damage round the top.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52- Is that damage or...? - Yes, it's worn down.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- How much was the brooch? - They're coming back.- OK.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59- Maybe we could do a deal on the two? - Is it from the same cabinet?
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- Maybe, maybe, maybe we could. - Yes.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06- I think these are rather... How much are these at?- 28.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10Oh. This will be a record if you buy two in a few minutes.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13At this rate, it would be a miracle
0:11:13 > 0:11:15if you bought anything at all, David.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19That's interesting. That's hallmarked silver.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23This is a little lady's compact and you've got a mirror, there.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27And I guess, you might even have had a band across there
0:11:27 > 0:11:30and it might even have had cigarettes there.
0:11:30 > 0:11:35- I quite like that.- What year is it? - It is Chester, 1915.
0:11:35 > 0:11:40- That's quite early, then. - By Curran and Charles. - The mirror's not broken?
0:11:40 > 0:11:43I don't think so. I'll have a look in a second.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46It's nice to touch, though, isn't it? It's a nice feel to it.
0:11:46 > 0:11:51I mean, that's £65. You haven't asked me the 64,000 question yet -
0:11:51 > 0:11:52what's it going to make?
0:11:52 > 0:11:56- I think it's £30 to £50, so... - If we can get it down.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59That would be really good. Do you want to ask?
0:11:59 > 0:12:02- You're looking at 30 as a starting price?- Offer her 30
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- and then don't be surprised if she hits you.- That's nice.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- So that's why you're sending me? - Exactly.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11Hello. Hiya. We've found a nice little something here
0:12:11 > 0:12:15- but clearly, we're going to ask you the big question, aren't we?- Right.
0:12:15 > 0:12:20- Could we have that for 30?- Ooh. I'm going to have to phone the dealer.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23We're all different dealers here, so we can't make decisions,
0:12:23 > 0:12:26- so if you'd give me five minutes. - That's lovely.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30- I've left the men there, I don't know how brave that is of me.- Thank you.
0:12:31 > 0:12:36- Right, £40.- Oh, right.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38£40. They've come down £8.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42- It sounds a lot, doesn't it? - It sounds a lot.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44And these, £20.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46- From 28.- 28.
0:12:46 > 0:12:51David, I've just noticed a little chip on the edge of that fluting.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Can you see that?
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Mm. Right.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58What do you think? Should we still go for them or...?
0:12:58 > 0:13:01I know we said we'd go for the two items.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04I really think we should probably hold back on these.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08It's up to you to tell me but we could put these in abeyance
0:13:08 > 0:13:09and come back to them.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11- I think... - If we've got time to do that.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- You have got plenty of time. - I think maybe take that, though.
0:13:14 > 0:13:19OK. Take the piece of jewellery and then we'll come back on these.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- Yeah.- Yes, that's sound advice. - That's very sensible.- OK.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23Very sensible.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Well, there's a lot of bet hedging going on today.
0:13:26 > 0:13:32The Blues have got their first item and the cranberry vases in reserve.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33- Hi, there.- Hi.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Right, well, we've spoken to the dealer
0:13:35 > 0:13:38and it cost him quite a bit of money,
0:13:38 > 0:13:42so the best he can do for you is going to be 45.
0:13:42 > 0:13:4345.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Are we going to buy that thing at 45 quid?
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- Well, I think so.- I think so as well. - Yeah.- I think so.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53At last! They've decided on their second item
0:13:53 > 0:13:55and this is something I found the other day.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01What do you make of this object?
0:14:01 > 0:14:05It's quite clearly a cannon on its trunnion
0:14:05 > 0:14:08but what's going on here?
0:14:08 > 0:14:11The thing to notice in particular
0:14:11 > 0:14:13and the bit that gets my pulses racing
0:14:13 > 0:14:15is this bit of casting on the top,
0:14:15 > 0:14:20which is cast with some initials which read VOC.
0:14:20 > 0:14:26And if you found a piece of Chinese porcelain, for example,
0:14:26 > 0:14:28that was monogrammed VOC,
0:14:28 > 0:14:33you would know that it had come as a result of the activity
0:14:33 > 0:14:37of the United East India Company of Holland.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41The United East India Company, for a couple of hundred years,
0:14:41 > 0:14:47produced for Holland and the Low Countries unbelievable riches
0:14:47 > 0:14:51and on board their ships were, of course, weapons
0:14:51 > 0:14:54to defend themselves and to attack other people -
0:14:54 > 0:14:56cannon just like this.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00So why would you produce a miniature cannon like this
0:15:00 > 0:15:02at that period?
0:15:02 > 0:15:06Is perfectly possible to set up a little toy cannon like this,
0:15:06 > 0:15:09fill it with black powder as if you were loading a real cannon
0:15:09 > 0:15:13and mount it underneath a magnifying glass,
0:15:13 > 0:15:16so that when the sun reaches high noon,
0:15:16 > 0:15:19the hot rays of the sun
0:15:19 > 0:15:21would be concentrated on that little touch hole
0:15:21 > 0:15:25and if it was filled with black powder, it would go pop,
0:15:25 > 0:15:27announcing that it was high noon.
0:15:27 > 0:15:32So what's it worth? Well, if it's genuine and 17th century,
0:15:32 > 0:15:36it could be worth as much as £1,500 to £2,000.
0:15:36 > 0:15:42If it's a 20th century reproduction, then maybe £200-£300.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46What would it cost you here today in Kingston?
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Well, it could be yours for 60 smackers.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Boom, boom!
0:15:56 > 0:16:00- We're doing well. You've got two objects in 30 minutes.- Right.- Right.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02That's doing very well, I'd say.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Right, we need to find something else.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09Ooh, I wonder what David, who's a fan of early Moorcroft,
0:16:09 > 0:16:10thinks of this vase.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13It's not my cup of tea, to be honest. I can't relate to it.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17- No.- No.- But what I find fascinating
0:16:17 > 0:16:21is that you have this very smooth ivory ground pot
0:16:21 > 0:16:25and then this incredible sort of glaze
0:16:25 > 0:16:27which is textured and has been allowed to run.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- I think that's quite clever. - It's quite nice.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- And we've got... - "Hand-painted by Daz."
0:16:33 > 0:16:35- Dan or Daz?- Dan.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39Erm, but it's the price that's worrying me
0:16:39 > 0:16:41- because I think...- At £88. - ..that's a lot of money.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45- I think it's a lot of money.- I wonder if we stand to make a profit.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48I have seen these go up for sale at auction
0:16:48 > 0:16:52- and they make not very much.- No.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54- Well...- I'm going to go and see.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Yes, off you go again, David.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00I've found this. I think it's quite nice.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02I don't know what you think about it.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06Obviously the buttons aren't right because they should be brass
0:17:06 > 0:17:09but all the embroidery seems to be OK.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Let's just take this off.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15- Er...- The buttons have gone.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19- I think somebody's cut them off and flogged them.- Yeah.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23It's priced up at £58. I mean, to me, it's £20 to £40.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27- Why do you like it? - I like it, oddly enough...
0:17:27 > 0:17:31I like military uniforms anyway - what woman doesn't?
0:17:31 > 0:17:35But the point being that the hero in the current book I'm writing
0:17:35 > 0:17:38- is in the Coldstream Guards.- Really? - He's a captain.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- This is a Coldstream Guards uniform. - So you have no option.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44And, more importantly, he's in the Red team.
0:17:44 > 0:17:49- He's in the Red team, that's true. - All right. You want this, yeah?
0:17:49 > 0:17:50Let's give it a chance.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54That lady's going to be sick to death of me. Let's have a word.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57She'll be glad to see the back of us altogether.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59- All right?- Er, well...
0:17:59 > 0:18:03She'll probably be glad to see the back of both teams
0:18:03 > 0:18:06because the Blues have just been haggling as well.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- Well...- What did they say, David?
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- They've come down from 88 to £40. - Oh, my goodness.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- Now, does that mean they're anxious to sell?- Yes.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21- Well, that's a lot more reasonable. - It makes a difference, doesn't it?
0:18:21 > 0:18:22It does make a difference.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26- Shall we go for that? - I'm very tempted, I'm very tempted.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28- Shall we go for that? - Yes, I think so.- OK.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Well, I'll take it and get it paid for.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34That's more than half price for the vase.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37I wonder if the Reds can do just as well with the tunic?
0:18:37 > 0:18:41- They want to buy it for 30. - She's a lovely lady, I've heard.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- That's less than she's paid. - 38?- 40. There we are.
0:18:44 > 0:18:4635. Done.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50"35. Done."
0:18:50 > 0:18:52OK, thanks a lot, Jean. Bye.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53Bye. 35.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57So you've got that for £35, we bought the silver compact for £45,
0:18:57 > 0:18:59- that's 80.- Indeed.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00Then we've bought the tray for 40
0:19:00 > 0:19:05- and the little wooden artist's box for 40.- Yeah.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08We'll put those together as one lot, that's another 80,
0:19:08 > 0:19:10- so we've spent 160 quid. - That's not bad.
0:19:10 > 0:19:11- Are you happy?- Very.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Good job, Reds. You've managed to squeeze four items into three lots.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Let's hope the tactic pays off.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Ten minutes to go. What do you think?
0:19:19 > 0:19:24Well, what do you think, David? I mean, it's a Zebedee lamp.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27- Well, of course, a bouncing spring. - Absolutely.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- How much is it?- 78.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34- I think it's hideous.- Do you? - But it's not my scene.- I know.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36To be honest, it's not my scene.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Well, I think I like the style, as well.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41It's something we'd have in our house.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45- Would it make money?- No.- No. - Not at that sort of level.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48I think we've got to get it down in price.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Erm...
0:19:51 > 0:19:54What's the stall? Zebedee lamp.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Er, what's the stall number?
0:19:57 > 0:20:01- No idea. It's got 10F on the back. - 10F, OK.
0:20:01 > 0:20:0310F on the back of the label.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06That's it, David. Work your magic, like Phil.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09- Are you happy? Have you enjoyed it? - Yeah. Very much so.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13- Do you want to buy me a tea? - I will definitely buy you a tea and a bun.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- Do we look like we need a bun? - I want a bun.
0:20:16 > 0:20:21Ha-ha! As the Reds go for tea, it's the Blues turn to haggle.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23Shall we have a go, then?
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Well, it's either that or the vases, isn't it?
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- Oh, go on.- It's more fun with the lamp.- We prefer the lamp.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- Yes, OK.- 50, 48.- OK, David. - Thank you very much.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37- We'll do 50.- 50.- Is it too much?
0:20:40 > 0:20:43- It certainly has been a learning curve for me.- Yes.
0:20:43 > 0:20:48Well done, teams. We've got six lots winging their way to auction.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Recap time. The Reds first.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54Crafty Mr Serrell put the tray and the watercolour set together
0:20:54 > 0:20:57to make one lot for a total of £80.
0:20:58 > 0:20:59After all that wood,
0:20:59 > 0:21:03the silver compact was a welcome relief for £45.
0:21:03 > 0:21:09Finally, Jean thought finding the Coldstream Guards tunic was fate.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13Hopefully, not a fate worse than death when it goes under the hammer.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- What happened to your cup of tea? - He's got to earn his money, first.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Look, stop passing your responsibility on this tea.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22I want to know how much you spent, exactly.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- 160.- Did you? 160. That's not a bad total.- No.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29- Can I have the £140 of leftover lolly, please?- There you go.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33Jolly good. So, P Serrell, there you go. There's your cash, matey.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37I think it's time for a measured view on this.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- Oh, that's enigmatic, isn't it? That could be a hint.- It could.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44Anyway, good luck, Phil. Why don't we check out what the Blues bought?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49They started their journey into the not-so-distant past
0:21:49 > 0:21:54with this 1950s Danish brooch for £40.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57They moved up a decade to the 1960s and paid another 40
0:21:57 > 0:21:59for this hideous vase.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01David's words, not mine.
0:22:01 > 0:22:02But I do have to agree.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06And finally, the 1970s made an appearance for £50
0:22:06 > 0:22:10when they went for the spiral-based Zebedee lamp.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13You seem to have been having a good bonding up session, you lot.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- You don't half take your time. - I know.- It was very difficult.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20- Is she always like this?- Well... - I can't make up my mind.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24- Well, there's so much choice, it's absolutely true.- It's amazing.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28- How much did you spend overall? - It's £130.- Is that all?
0:22:28 > 0:22:30- £130.- Yeah.- Pretty pathetic.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32- So can I have £170 of leftover lolly?- Of course.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34- There you go.- 170 of leftover lolly.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38- There's a fine pile of money there for you, David.- Indeed.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41I'm very interested to hear him say "the horrible vase".
0:22:41 > 0:22:44That was my opinion but I tried to put it more politely.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Well, that's typical of you, David.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Very good luck finding your bonus buy. Good luck, team.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Meanwhile, we're off somewhere splendiferous.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59Today, I'm visiting Dyrham Park near Bath,
0:22:59 > 0:23:02which was built and furnished by William Blathwayt
0:23:02 > 0:23:05in the 17th century.
0:23:09 > 0:23:14Blathwayt's peers described him as being dull and pedantic.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Well, there's certainly nothing dull about his house.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Oh, no. This is the Great Hall,
0:23:21 > 0:23:24where important guests would have been received,
0:23:24 > 0:23:29which would have hosted balls and lovely musical evenings.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37William Blathwayt was an avid collector
0:23:37 > 0:23:39and also a bibliophile,
0:23:39 > 0:23:45so it's not surprising that he had a considerable library here at Dyrham,
0:23:45 > 0:23:49part of which he kept in these book presses.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53Originally, books were not stored vertically,
0:23:53 > 0:23:57they were stored horizontally, literally sitting on shelves.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00The books were stacked one on top of the other,
0:24:00 > 0:24:02presumably to keep them flat,
0:24:02 > 0:24:06and it wasn't until the 17th century
0:24:06 > 0:24:09that books tended to morph into the vertical.
0:24:09 > 0:24:14One of these book presses dates to 1920
0:24:14 > 0:24:16because the family decided then
0:24:16 > 0:24:18that they were going to sell one to the V&A,
0:24:19 > 0:24:21which is there to this day,
0:24:21 > 0:24:24and they had a reproduction made,
0:24:24 > 0:24:28an exact replica, by Malletts of Bath.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31So how do you tell, Tim, the difference
0:24:31 > 0:24:35between the 1923 production and the 17th century original?
0:24:35 > 0:24:39Well, Tim, as so often when dating antique furniture
0:24:39 > 0:24:41it is a question of colour.
0:24:41 > 0:24:47Now, if you look at that exquisitely carved acanthus cornice,
0:24:47 > 0:24:53carved out of the solid oak, it has a sort of nut brown colour to it.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57And when Malletts constructed the 1920s reproduction,
0:24:57 > 0:25:01whilst they got the carving exactly right
0:25:01 > 0:25:03running around the top of the cornice,
0:25:03 > 0:25:07if you look at the colour, it has that kind of golden oak colour.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10It is a completely different colour to this.
0:25:10 > 0:25:15Now, if you open the door, it's always amusing to look inside
0:25:15 > 0:25:18as the state of the metalwork.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22Because the hinges on these 17th century bookcases
0:25:22 > 0:25:23are interesting.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27If you compare the colour of the wrought iron
0:25:27 > 0:25:31which has come from a blacksmith's forge in the 17th century
0:25:31 > 0:25:36with the 1920s example, it's pretty nearly the same
0:25:36 > 0:25:42and that's because Malletts of Bath will have taken in the 1920s
0:25:42 > 0:25:47the iron to exactly produce a hinge that looks like this
0:25:47 > 0:25:49in the later example.
0:25:49 > 0:25:54But if you shut the door and have a look at the piece of iron
0:25:54 > 0:25:56that's projecting on the outside,
0:25:56 > 0:25:59it is dark and corroded.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02That's because iron is a ferrous metal
0:26:02 > 0:26:08and through the centuries, it gets slightly damp, it rusts,
0:26:08 > 0:26:11it begins to deteriorate and achieves that colour.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16If you look at the outside ironwork on that side...
0:26:16 > 0:26:18It's completely different.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Quite right.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23And another very obvious difference between the old one and the new one
0:26:23 > 0:26:28is the fact that the old one has two holes on this side
0:26:28 > 0:26:30and on the far side.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34You could take the top part off and simply carry the lower part
0:26:34 > 0:26:36with those outer carrying handles
0:26:36 > 0:26:39and when Malletts of Bath made the copy...
0:26:40 > 0:26:45they never even bothered with the side carrying handle holes.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47The big question today is, of course,
0:26:47 > 0:26:52which of our teams will need carrying in or carrying out
0:26:52 > 0:26:54of the auction house today?
0:27:06 > 0:27:10Some would say there's no better place to be than West Sussex.
0:27:10 > 0:27:15Some would say no better place than Washington and Rupert Toovey's sale room.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18How very kind of you, Tim. It's very nice to have you.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Now, the Red team, Kelvin and Jean.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24First up, they've got a whacky mixture here
0:27:24 > 0:27:28of a galleried tray and a little watercolouring set.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32- Well, that's an unusual combination, isn't it?- I've never seen it before.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34I suppose they just came together from the dealer
0:27:34 > 0:27:36and they've run with it.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39- Nice objects both, aren't they? - Yeah. Not too bad.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42I mean, the tray is a bit dull in the centre.
0:27:42 > 0:27:47That shell is one of those ones you used to buy and put in yourself
0:27:47 > 0:27:49in the shed.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52- And I have seen better watercolouring sets.- Yes.
0:27:52 > 0:27:57It's a nice look but could do with a bit more substance, couldn't it?
0:27:57 > 0:28:02- Yes. How much, then?- £30-£40. - There you are. You see what I mean?
0:28:02 > 0:28:06Anyway, £80 they paid, which is a lot.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09- That is a lot.- It is a lot. I think you'll be lucky if you get that.
0:28:09 > 0:28:10So that's not so hot.
0:28:10 > 0:28:15What about the silver combo, fag case and power jobby?
0:28:15 > 0:28:20- That's unusual, isn't it?- It's much more of a collectable object.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22You're going to get a different price.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26And it's hallmarked and it's ready to go. How much?
0:28:26 > 0:28:29- £40-£60.- £45 paid. - Oh, good.- That's a bit more like it.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32So what they make with one, they might lose with the other.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36And if you're sitting at attention,
0:28:36 > 0:28:40you'll snap to with the tunic top,
0:28:40 > 0:28:43which is, in my view, incredibly disappointing
0:28:43 > 0:28:46because it's either been out in the rain for a long time
0:28:46 > 0:28:49or somebody's put it in a washing machine
0:28:49 > 0:28:54- and all the red has dissolved into the cuffs.- You're quite right.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56- It's awful, isn't it? - I'm afraid it is a bit sad.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00- How are you going to go about valuing that, Rupert? - With a hope and a prayer.
0:29:00 > 0:29:04- Maybe £20?- They paid 35. I think it's too much.- I agree.- Yeah.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07I think they're going to need their bonus buy.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09Let's go and have a look at it.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13- Now, Kelvin and Jean, you spent £160.- Mm-hm.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17£140 went to Philip Serrell. What did you spend it on, Phil?
0:29:17 > 0:29:19- I didn't spend all of it. - Didn't you?
0:29:20 > 0:29:21It's small, whatever it is.
0:29:21 > 0:29:26- I bought this, which is, I think, a rope gauge.- Right.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29I think this is probably 1920s, something like that.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32It's boxwood and it's in brass.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34How it works, I do not have the first idea.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36- I've never seen one before.- Right.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39I would imagine that you put your piece of rope in there
0:29:39 > 0:29:41and somewhere along these various scales,
0:29:41 > 0:29:45depending upon whether it's wire, rope, hemp or whatever,
0:29:45 > 0:29:47it will tell you the size of it.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49I paid £20 for it.
0:29:49 > 0:29:54I think, with the internet, it's the sort of thing that could make £30-£50.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56- That's what I think.- Right.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59- Look at the look on your face! - I'm gobsmacked.
0:29:59 > 0:30:03- I don't know who would buy it. - A scientific instrument collector.
0:30:03 > 0:30:07- Really?- Yeah. People who like rules, scales, instruments.
0:30:07 > 0:30:12- They don't have to be great navigational tools that make thousands.- OK.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16You can buy beautifully made little objects like that
0:30:16 > 0:30:18and make a most interesting collection.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20I think at £20, it's an absolute snip.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24It could make £40-£60. I mean, hold on, treasure that.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26- Who'd have thought? - We'll hang onto that.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Hello a fiver now, isn't it?
0:30:30 > 0:30:33- It's all on the day, I suppose. - Yeah.- Absolutely right.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35And the day is cometh.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39But for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks
0:30:39 > 0:30:41about Phil's little scales.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45- Well, look at that. - Isn't that beautifully made?
0:30:45 > 0:30:49I know. A bit of boxwood that's been inscribed with those lines
0:30:49 > 0:30:52- and that thing slides up and down well, does it?- Not bad.
0:30:52 > 0:30:57- What a difficult thing to value. - I don't know many rope measurers, do you?
0:30:57 > 0:31:00No but it's the scientific instrument collector.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03- It comes into broadly that category. - Very much so.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07I don't think they need to measure ropes. They like the beauty of the instrument.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09- I think it is a boy's toy, really. - Yeah.
0:31:09 > 0:31:15- How much?- £25-£35, Tim.- £20 paid by that cunning monkey Philip Serrell,
0:31:15 > 0:31:18- who does love these things. - He's done well.- I think he has.
0:31:18 > 0:31:23That's it for the Reds, so now to the Blues, Chris and Ros.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26First up, it's their Danish brooch.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29- Well, it's a very striking design, isn't it?- Certainly is.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33- You want it to be by Jensen, though, don't you?- You do, I'm afraid.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35Then it's a couple of hundred pounds' worth.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37What's it worth by this other punter,
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Carl Ove Frydenberg?
0:31:39 > 0:31:43- Beautifully said.- Yes. - I think it's £30-£40.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47- £30-£40 for a Frydenberg?- Yes. - OK, they paid 40.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50So they're pretty well on the money. That's good.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53Then we've gone with this absolutely ghastly vase,
0:31:53 > 0:31:57a perfectly nice white pot that somebody chucked a pot of paint at.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59Yes but it's a good form, isn't it,
0:31:59 > 0:32:02and young people like that sort of thing, don't they?
0:32:02 > 0:32:03I suppose they do
0:32:03 > 0:32:07but why bother to send it all the way from Israel, I do not know.
0:32:07 > 0:32:12- What's your estimate?- £20-£30, Tim. - Very sensible. £40 paid.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15- Ah.- Yes. I think you could be struggling with that.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18Mark you, I could eat my words if I'm wrong.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20Next up is the Zebedee lamp.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23I can't imagine why it's called a Zebedee lamp.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27- Very boingy, isn't it?- Is it going to be buoyant, though, in the sale?
0:32:27 > 0:32:30- Erm, probably not.- Is it going to spring forward into a profit?
0:32:30 > 0:32:35- Well, it might be. £40-£60. - That's not too bad. £50 they paid.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37They're in with a chance.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40I think they're going to need they're bonus buy desperately,
0:32:40 > 0:32:42so let's have a look at it.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46- OK, kids, you spent a miserable £130...- That's right.
0:32:46 > 0:32:50..and you gave David £170. David, what did you spend it on?
0:32:50 > 0:32:53Well, I didn't blow the whole lot, Tim. I bought something simple.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56Bearing in mind you two like travelling to exotic climes,
0:32:56 > 0:32:59I thought I had to buy something appropriate
0:32:59 > 0:33:01- and of my taste, not necessarily yours.- Oh!
0:33:01 > 0:33:07So in this little box here, there is a thermometer.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10So you would take this in your luggage
0:33:10 > 0:33:13and then when you got to a particular hot climate,
0:33:13 > 0:33:17you can register the temperature and watch the temperature rise.
0:33:17 > 0:33:21And this is by Negretti and Zambra,
0:33:21 > 0:33:26a very highly respected maker of scientific instruments.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29- I paid £40 for it.- Oh, right. - That is all.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32- You could have got one of your vases for that.- Thank you!
0:33:32 > 0:33:39- How old is that?- Date wise, it's got to be round about the middle of the 19th century.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42Well, I like it. I think it's a good buy.
0:33:42 > 0:33:43Oh! Oh!
0:33:43 > 0:33:48- £40 profit? Double the money?- I don't think you'll double the money.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51I think it might go for round about 60, one hopes.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55- You watched those lips. You saw them move.- We did. We heard that.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58They said 60. Hold that thought.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02For the viewers, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about David's thermometer.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06- There we go, look. - It's Negretti and Zambra.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09- Yes, good makers. - Yes, they really were.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11Well, it's a proper, useful scientific instrument.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15- Definitely not medical, though. - Er, no.- No.- No.
0:34:15 > 0:34:20- OK, then, how much? - Well, I think it's £15-£25.
0:34:20 > 0:34:24It's difficult to display and more difficult to use.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27Well, it's Barby's bonus buy and he's spent £40 on it.
0:34:27 > 0:34:28- Well...- Has he gone bonkers?
0:34:28 > 0:34:31- Sometimes he's lucky but I think he'll need his luck.- Yes.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34Well, we'll have to take the temperature up, won't we?
0:34:34 > 0:34:38- We'll do what we can do. - Thank you very much, Rupert.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41..at £80...
0:34:45 > 0:34:49- Jean and Kelvin, how are you feeling?- OK.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51OK.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54Are you nervous about anything? Any particular item?
0:34:54 > 0:35:00I think the guardsman's jacket was a bit of a no-no, really.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04- Well, it's got terribly wet at some point, hasn't it?- Yeah.
0:35:04 > 0:35:08The staining has come through on the frogging on the sleeve.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11First up is the galleried tray and the paint set. Here it comes.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14422 is an Edwardian mahogany, shaped tea tray
0:35:14 > 0:35:17and there's a charming artist's watercolour set.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20You can paint as you take tea. There you are.

0:35:27 > 0:35:30- 38 and 40.- It's going up. - 40 with you, sir, thank you.
0:35:30 > 0:35:34At £40. Can I see the 42? At £40. Is there any more?
0:35:34 > 0:35:36A bit shabby this, isn't it?
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Thank you. £40.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41- £40. You're minus 40. - Slashed that in half, then, really.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44- Yeah, it's not so good.- Makes the maths easy, though.- It does.
0:35:44 > 0:35:49- Now, watch out.- ..a compact cigarette case of rectangular form
0:35:49 > 0:35:52and opening the bidding here at £35.
0:35:52 > 0:35:53£35. Can I see 37?

0:36:13 > 0:36:15- 70 I have. And five? - We're doing well.
0:36:15 > 0:36:1770 I have in the corner. Thank you, sir.
0:36:17 > 0:36:22At £70. Is there any advance on 70? At £70. Selling then at 70...
0:36:22 > 0:36:23£70.
0:36:23 > 0:36:28- Yes!- Very good.- That's five short of 50, that's plus 25, all right?
0:36:28 > 0:36:31You're only minus 15. You've just got to claw back £15
0:36:31 > 0:36:33from this dress tunic.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35That isn't going to happen.
0:36:35 > 0:36:40Lot 224 is a mid-20th century Coldstream Guards tunic

0:36:45 > 0:36:46Five?
0:36:46 > 0:36:49Five I'm bid. And seven. Ten?

0:37:02 > 0:37:0536 will you bid?
0:37:05 > 0:37:07- 36 I'm bid.- Go on. A little one. - One more.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09And 40? And two?

0:37:16 > 0:37:18At £42. 42.
0:37:19 > 0:37:2342 is plus seven, which means you are minus eight.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27- Minus eight.- It's a lot of hard work to lose eight quid, isn't it?- Yes.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30- I know. We've been all ways, haven't we?- Yeah, I know.
0:37:30 > 0:37:34- What are you going to do about this bonus buy?- We'll go with it.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36- You're going to go with it? - Yeah, I like it.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39- I can tell you that the auctioneer's estimate is £25-£35.- Right.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42- He's predicting, already, a profit on it.- Right.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46If he's right, you could wipe out your £8 losses. How exciting.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49- It's all to play for. - It is all to play for.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51We're going with the bonus buy.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54What shall we say for this lot, please? £30?
0:37:54 > 0:37:55Shall we say 20, then, please?

0:38:04 > 0:38:06- Lovely instrument, that.- Oh! - Are you all done?
0:38:06 > 0:38:10- I don't believe this. - A maiden bid, then, £20.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13- Oh!- No.- We didn't lose on it. - You didn't lose on it.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16- It wiped its faced. - It's a shame, though.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19- It just should've been worth a bit more.- Well, it was nice.
0:38:19 > 0:38:23Bad luck. Minus £8 could easily be a winning score.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25- Easily.- Easily be a winning score.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28I mean, so easily you wouldn't believe it.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30So don't tell the Blues a thing, all right?
0:38:35 > 0:38:37- Do you know how the Reds are doing? - No idea at all, no.
0:38:37 > 0:38:41- They were very good at...- Coy. - ..not showing any facial expressions.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44Yes, well, that's excellent, that's excellent.
0:38:44 > 0:38:48Your brooch by Carl Ove Frydenberg,
0:38:48 > 0:38:52- I think it's a bit of a number, that brooch. It's a nice thing.- It is.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54I mean, I don't know who Frydenberg is from Adam
0:38:54 > 0:38:58but it's got the Jensen look and I think that's all that matters.
0:38:58 > 0:39:03437 is a mid to late 20th century Danish sterling silver brooch
0:39:03 > 0:39:04of abstract form.

0:39:16 > 0:39:20Maiden bid with you at £20, thank you. £20.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23£20 is a gift. That's minus £20.

0:39:46 > 0:39:49Fair warning, madam. £10.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51- I wouldn't go with that again. - You loved it.
0:39:51 > 0:39:58- I wouldn't go with that again, Chris.- Worth every penny.- Don't wrap it into your pension fund. Minus 30.

0:40:29 > 0:40:31- £40 on that.- I've never been so embarrassed.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34You started off minus 20, then minus 30 and now minus 40.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36This is what you call a projection.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40- It doesn't say much for the thermometer.- Minus 90.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43- Are you going to go with this thermometer?- Definitely.
0:40:43 > 0:40:47- We need some money.- I feel the temperature's going down.- Gosh.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50- Anyway, you're going with the thermometer?- Definitely.
0:40:50 > 0:40:54- OK, fine.- We're relying on David. - No, don't.
0:40:54 > 0:40:58442 is a mid-Victorian travelling thermometer

0:41:00 > 0:41:03- We're opening this lot with conflicting bids at £30.- Ooh!

0:41:27 > 0:41:31- Oh!- Minus £2.- Better than us, David. - That's bad luck. - Thank you very much.
0:41:31 > 0:41:35That is bad luck. Overall you are minus £92.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39- Now, that could be a winning score, so don't talk to the Reds.- No.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48- Well, what excitement. Have we had fun?- Yes.- Yes.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50I mean, it's been seriously good fun, hasn't it?
0:41:50 > 0:41:53- Been chatting?- No, no, no. - No chatting.
0:41:53 > 0:41:58Well, I'm afraid it has been the most disastrous day for the Blues.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00Minus £92.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02HE GASPS
0:42:02 > 0:42:08I mean, they only spent 130. No, no, £130 plus the £40 bonus buy,
0:42:08 > 0:42:11so you spent £170, of which you lost 92.
0:42:11 > 0:42:12- This is not good news, is it?- No.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15That Israeli pot didn't do you much good, did it?
0:42:15 > 0:42:20And Zebedee, the lamp... Oh, dear, oh, dear.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Anyway, I don't think we ought to dwell on this, do you?
0:42:22 > 0:42:26- I think we should dwell on the high point, the taking part.- Absolutely.
0:42:26 > 0:42:30- Was that good?- Very good.- It was lovely.- We've loved having you.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33Thank you, David, for everything, but the victors today
0:42:33 > 0:42:34won by only losing £8.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39So it just goes to show it's perfectly possible.
0:42:39 > 0:42:45And you had all those pluses. £25 on the cigarette case cum powder compact
0:42:45 > 0:42:48- and that Coldstreamers jacket... - I know!
0:42:48 > 0:42:50..making £7 was extraordinary.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53And a wiped face on the rope measure. That was bad luck, too.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56Anyway, overall, I feel you should be taking money home.
0:42:56 > 0:43:00Morally, you're taking money home but you've won by only losing £8,
0:43:00 > 0:43:03- so congratulations.- Thank you. - We had a great day.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06In fact, join us soon for some more Bargain Hunting, yes?
0:43:06 > 0:43:08Yes!
