0:00:07 > 0:00:12We're at the home of one great British institution,
0:00:12 > 0:00:13the Grand National!
0:00:13 > 0:00:17Time for another! Let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:00:45 > 0:00:50Today, Aintree swaps runners and riders for wheelers and dealers!
0:00:50 > 0:00:54But will our teams go the full distance?
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Will our teams stumble at the first hurdle?
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Let's go and find out.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01Our runners today...
0:01:01 > 0:01:0610-1 shot Kerry is lively and prone to overenthusiastic outbursts...
0:01:06 > 0:01:09I'm quite excited about that, really.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11At 40-1, John is rank outsider
0:01:11 > 0:01:14but will show form when the prize is high.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Would you like it gift-wrapped, sir?
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Please, yes. If that was possible.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Paul is the only grey in the field.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24His 30-1 odds reflect he's easily led astray.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Would you be willing to take a risk on that, Henry?
0:01:27 > 0:01:31- I would if you could get it for less.- OK.- Shall we see if we can do a deal on it?
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Hot favourite is Gary,
0:01:33 > 0:01:37quick out of the stalls, but can peak too early.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41We don't want to be racing and buy something stupid in the last five minutes.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44So let's get them under starter's orders!
0:01:49 > 0:01:54- Now, John, how did you two meet? - We met in a bar about five years ago through mutual friends.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Yeah, we just share the same interests,
0:01:56 > 0:02:02and we go to gigs and stuff together, and we've just become friends since then, really.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06- Now, Kerry, you run a dance group. - Yeah.- Is that a strenuous activity?
0:02:06 > 0:02:09I wouldn't say it was strenuous, it's more fun.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13But, yeah...it's a dance troupe called the Debauchery Dolls...
0:02:13 > 0:02:18- Oh, Lord!- Basically I audition them and put them together and we dance at local events,
0:02:18 > 0:02:24doing things like acrobatic pole dancing, fire-eating, and things like that.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Have you got any clothes on at the time?
0:02:26 > 0:02:27Not myself...but they do.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Oh, I see. You don't wear clothes, but they do.
0:02:30 > 0:02:36- I do! I don't do any of the dancing. - You don't? You just organise it? - Yeah. Organise it and hire them out.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40I think you're pretty cute, Kerry. I think you're going to do very well today. Now, John...
0:02:40 > 0:02:44- it's just as well you're wearing red today, yes?- Yeah, I happen to be a Liverpool fan,
0:02:44 > 0:02:48always have been, born and bred, it's a family thing. So, yeah, I go to the games.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52- The family have got a season ticket, so I go to the games, yeah. - You take it quite seriously?- Yeah.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55And you're looking forward to today. Are you going to win?
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- Definitely, yeah.- Oh, definitely. That's fighting talk. Anyway...good luck.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03- You look scared, you boys. - Petrified.- Excellent.- Trembling.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Paul, you're brothers but you're also great friends.
0:03:06 > 0:03:11We are indeed. We're very, very good friends, and we've got closer as we've got older.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Gary was pretty much like a father figure to me in my early years,
0:03:15 > 0:03:20- and I didn't like him too much then, he was a bit of a...hindrance. - Was he strict with you?
0:03:20 > 0:03:24- Oh, extremely, extremely.- Bossy? - He laid the law down.- Bossy? - Very bossy.
0:03:24 > 0:03:29- Difficult?- Keep going! All those sort of words, yeah! That's him!
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- Now, Gary, you're pleased to be in blue.- Very much so.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34In this city you're either red or blue, there's no in-between!
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Yeah, brilliant.
0:03:36 > 0:03:41- Now, you incorporate your PR campaign for Liverpool in your job, don't you?- Yes.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44I set up my own company called Heart Of The City.
0:03:44 > 0:03:49Basically I wanted to do a good PR job for the city and bring people in and show them the real Liverpool,
0:03:49 > 0:03:53- so I'll take them round certain parts of Liverpool...- So it's like a glorified tour guide?
0:03:53 > 0:03:59- Yeah...- But more.- I like to look after people and show them what we Scousers are really like.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01This is the friendliest city, it's a great city,
0:04:01 > 0:04:05and there's a lot more to it, and I love meeting people.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- So, presumably, Gary, you'll have no problem in winning Bargain Hunt today?- Not at all.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13That's rather what I thought you were going to say! Now, the money moment, £300 apiece, there you go.
0:04:13 > 0:04:18£300. £300. You know the rules. Your experts await and off you go!
0:04:18 > 0:04:20And very, very good luck.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Cor! What great teams!
0:04:23 > 0:04:26And every great team needs a great trainer.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Today we have them in the form of two young bucks...
0:04:29 > 0:04:32for the Reds...
0:04:32 > 0:04:34and for the Blues...
0:04:36 > 0:04:37Here we are at the race course.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- Thanks, Jonathan. Best of luck. - Thank you very much.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- Let's hope we don't fall at the first hurdle. - Thank you very much!
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Come on, let's get out of here!
0:04:45 > 0:04:49Oh, dear, Henry! I hope your advice isn't as lame as your jokes!
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- Right, guys, our hour has started. - Yeah.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56Fill your boots, have a look around. See what you can find. Anything that's interesting, point it out.
0:04:59 > 0:05:04- What are your tactics for today? - We need to get two good-quality products and something quirky.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- Let's go inside, I think, actually. - Yeah.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14- You've got to start somewhere. - Yeah, why not there?
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- This is like painted wood. - How much are they asking for it?
0:05:20 > 0:05:26- 150.- But it is period. And a bit of damage that doesn't really matter so much.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- It gives it character.- It shows it's original, that's the thing.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32You can see there's a few blemishes on the chrome, the glass...
0:05:32 > 0:05:35everything about it is original. And that's important.
0:05:35 > 0:05:40It's quite a versatile table. It's functional, it's good-looking, but it's a lot of money!
0:05:40 > 0:05:42A lot of our money, yeah!
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Let's stick to our anticlockwise route.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Well, you've got £300, Jonathan.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50Boys, have you got expensive tastes too?
0:05:50 > 0:05:52£445.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- Yeah, that exceeds our...- Next stall!
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- £100.- That's a wee bit too much. - Too much.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- How much is it?- That's 120, that.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Er...come on...
0:06:03 > 0:06:04That'll be a yes, then?
0:06:04 > 0:06:09"London & North Eastern Railway". Things like this railway iron are quite good.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Train plates, nameplates off engines make thousands of pounds,
0:06:13 > 0:06:16and there are people who kit places out completely with this sort of thing.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18What would you take for it?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- 65.- That's all right.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24The gentleman says we can have it for £65.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27And it's original, it's not fake. Cos there's lot of fakes, but that's original.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28Would you take 50?
0:06:28 > 0:06:32Well, if it's 65, right, we're going to split the difference and say 60.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35I would say there is a fair chance of that making quite a bit.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39I would say that. I sell this kind of thing quite a lot.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43With the auction house being near Crewe which is massive for railways...
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- Yeah.- Yes.- We'd have a lot of punt, maybe.- Exactly.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48That would be quite good, and I think there's money in it.
0:06:48 > 0:06:53- I'd be surprised to see it lose. - I'm quite excited about that, really.- Shake the man's hand!
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- OK. - Would you like it gift-wrapped, sir?
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Please, yes. If that was possible.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01I'd just settle for a profit, eh, John?
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Thank you very much indeed. Hope you're happy with that. Bye.
0:07:04 > 0:07:10But at least you're on track. Now, boys, have you finally found something within budget?
0:07:10 > 0:07:15- Obviously, I think the terminal on the spoon suggests it's Indian. - Yeah.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Almost certainly silver.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22The Indians tended not to assay their particular items.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25What's the gold round the edges, that sort of tinting?
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- It looks like it's been gilded at some stage.- Gilded...- Yeah.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31So obviously it was quite a common thing to do, really,
0:07:31 > 0:07:34to replicate gold. Do you like it?
0:07:34 > 0:07:39- I like it, but it depends on...- 55. Obviously, he'd have to come down...
0:07:39 > 0:07:44- I think at auction you'd probably get sort of £30-£40 for it.- Really?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47That's the level we'd have to be looking at, really.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51- What's the best price you'd do on this?- 40 would be the best.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55- Not 35?- I mean, you've got to really like it, I think.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59- I like the handle. The handle's unusual, isn't it? - Could we have it for 37?
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- I'll check with the boss. - I like your style.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- Yeah, OK. - We can do it for 37.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07- £37.- That's a decent deal.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Teams, you're neck and neck after the first fence.
0:08:11 > 0:08:16- This is lovely. What sort of period is this?- Deco, isn't it?
0:08:16 > 0:08:18- Well, it's very, very late deco. - Is it?
0:08:18 > 0:08:24- I'd say it's probably into the... it's almost... probably into the war period.- Yeah.
0:08:24 > 0:08:29If we can get something like this for a lot less money than that, we will stand to make a profit.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31But it's the right idea, certainly.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39We've got a silver-plated chamber stick with the etched-glass shade.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43- I have to say, as an auctioneer, I haven't seen one with a shade before.- Right.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46The only thing I would say is they're the sort of things
0:08:46 > 0:08:50that are fundamentally useless in today's society with electricity.
0:08:50 > 0:08:55Fundamentally useless? In that case, give me two!
0:08:55 > 0:08:59- But, you know, it's different. - Oh, well, Blues, at least you're sticking together!
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Unlike the Reds who've lost their expert!
0:09:02 > 0:09:07- Have you seen Jonathan?- No, he seems to have disappeared.- I'll go and find him.- Yeah, go and find him.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Ah! There you are, Jonathan!
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Happily oblivious!
0:09:13 > 0:09:17£50. It's not out of the way, but... Shall we have a look at it?
0:09:17 > 0:09:20I thought it was fundamentally useless, Henry!
0:09:20 > 0:09:28This is electroplated, so what it is it's silver-plate that's fused on to an alloy or copper, for example...
0:09:28 > 0:09:32- Hence the colour. - Hence the colour... And very often, when it's polished,
0:09:32 > 0:09:35it exposes the copper beneath.
0:09:35 > 0:09:41- Well, what can I say about it? - No hallmarks?- Well, it won't be because it's electroplated.
0:09:41 > 0:09:47So...it's a bit sort of Wee Willie Winkie style, isn't it really? But unusual.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Would you be willing to take a risk on that, Henry?
0:09:50 > 0:09:54- I would if you could get it for less.- OK.- Shall we see if we can do a deal on it?
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- Have a word with the stallholder. - Excuse me?
0:09:57 > 0:10:02You've got this down as 50, but would you be interested in taking £30 for that?
0:10:02 > 0:10:0440's the lowest I can go on that.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06What about 35?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09I'll do you 37...37.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13- What do you reckon, Paul? - I think it's well worth risking.
0:10:13 > 0:10:18I like it, it's different. And as you say, Henry, you haven't seen it with this on before, have you?
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- It's quirky enough.- 36?
0:10:20 > 0:10:24- 37's final.- I think 37's OK.- OK, 37.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Not the last of the big spenders, are you, Blues?
0:10:26 > 0:10:30But at least that's two for the pot.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Looking at this piece of... it's presumably... is it hallmarked silver?
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Can't see anything on it, but I'm pretty sure it is. Go on, you look.
0:10:37 > 0:10:42- Thanks very much.- I really like that.- That's a piece... these are sort of jaspers,
0:10:42 > 0:10:47like stones from the Cairngorms, in silver, and then you've got this Isle of Man motif.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51I've not seen one with that motif on. They always tend to do rather well at auction.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54There's a bit of damage there, isn't there, on that little chap...
0:10:54 > 0:10:58No there's not. It's just the silver is patternated.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02I think the patternation of it makes it look worse than it actually is.
0:11:02 > 0:11:08I think really brightly cleaned up, it will look much nicer.
0:11:08 > 0:11:13- Hello, kids, how are you getting on? All right?- Well, one under the belt so far, Tim.- Are you pleased?
0:11:13 > 0:11:17- I see you've got some lipstick on your cheek. - Yeah, sadly it's not yours!
0:11:17 > 0:11:21- Mr Wonnacott...- I've only had 14 kisses so far this morning.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25- It's rather good, isn't it? Are all Liverpool people like this, a bit fresh?- Oh, yeah!- Are they?
0:11:25 > 0:11:29- How are you getting on, Jonathan? - Well, I've only had the one kiss this morning!
0:11:29 > 0:11:33- No, seriously, down to business. What have you bought? - I just picked this up.
0:11:33 > 0:11:38- I know you're not supposed to guide us, but Scottish Cairngorms, Isle of Man...- Isle of Man.
0:11:38 > 0:11:43I think the patternation makes it look worse than it actually is.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47- But if they were resold... - Do you fancy that? - I think it's a nice thing.
0:11:47 > 0:11:52The legs of Man. When was the last time you saw a legs of Man one on a Scottish pebble?
0:11:52 > 0:11:57- I'm not going to let you convince us, Tim. - I'm not allowed to say anyway...
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- £20 doesn't seem a lot, does it? Do you like it?- I love it. - What do you think, John?
0:12:00 > 0:12:06- Yeah, again with the local interest. - You've got a lovely team here. - I have, I've been lucky today.
0:12:06 > 0:12:11- I can't influence you, so I'll shove off...- Shove off! - Good luck!- See you.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15- Where's the lady gone? - She's back there. - To be cheeky, would you take 15?
0:12:15 > 0:12:20- 15?- Shall we go for it? Number two under our belt!- Yeah.- We'll take that, then, please. Thank you.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Wonderful. Thank you very much.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25- Oh, this is easy, isn't it?- Yeah!
0:12:25 > 0:12:29- I'm pleased you're so confident, Jonathan!- Good, good, good!
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- I mean, this is luxury. - Yeah, we're cruising!
0:12:34 > 0:12:38And the nice thing is there's quite a nice selection of stuff,
0:12:38 > 0:12:42- so it's not that difficult to find things.- Yeah.- We're doing all right. I think we're doing really well.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45We're still OK with time, so...
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Plenty of dolls, but no Debauchery Dolls!
0:12:50 > 0:12:52BUGLE BLAST
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- Is that how it's meant to sound? - Yes.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Good! Everyone's confidence is brimming over,
0:12:58 > 0:13:01so it's my turn to check out the fair.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07I feel something tribal coming on, don't you?
0:13:07 > 0:13:12I mean, how good is this? Here, in the middle of Aintree Racecourse,
0:13:12 > 0:13:17we've got an ethnographic dealer who's brought his incredible stock with him,
0:13:17 > 0:13:23and my favourite trio out of what he's brought us today include these three fellows...
0:13:23 > 0:13:28Each of them has got a typical trumpet-formed base, look.
0:13:28 > 0:13:33This one's pierced with a hole through the middle of the stem.
0:13:33 > 0:13:38That would be so you could put a leather thong through the hole and cart it around with you.
0:13:38 > 0:13:45Because if you're in a tribe, and it's a tribe that moves from place to place, you travel light.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49You haven't got much furniture. You want to be able to carry things easily.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53And this is an absolute essential.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57This piece is at least 50-100 or 150 years old.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01But what would these three things have been used for?
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Well, you haven't got any furniture,
0:14:03 > 0:14:06but you might have an elaborate hairdo.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09And for the ladies who are watching,
0:14:09 > 0:14:13they know that an elaborate hairdo is a very precious possession!
0:14:13 > 0:14:16And if you haven't got a bed and you have to lie on the floor,
0:14:16 > 0:14:19what you're not going to want to do is to mess up your elaborate hairdo!
0:14:19 > 0:14:23So this is actually a native pillow.
0:14:23 > 0:14:28This shaped bar at the top is designed to go round the back of your neck,
0:14:28 > 0:14:31so that when you're lying on the floor,
0:14:31 > 0:14:36your head is elevated and your elaborate hairdo will not be disturbed.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39The neck pillow.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43And they come from Namibia. What are they worth?
0:14:43 > 0:14:47Well, not an arm and a leg, just a pain in the neck!
0:14:47 > 0:14:50That's £100 each to you and me.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53And talking of pain, time to rein in the fun and push on to the finish.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Maybe something there.
0:14:55 > 0:15:00- More pressure. We bought the first thing in the first 10 minutes... - We've been cruising too much.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02We have, but there is so much to see...
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Where's your confidence now, then, Jonathan?
0:15:04 > 0:15:08- We don't want to be racing and buy something stupid in the last five minutes.- No.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12- You like the '50s.- Yeah.- There's quite a lot of that sort of thing around here, that retro stuff.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16It would be quite nice to find something that's your choice, yeah?
0:15:16 > 0:15:20So I'm not going to put the pressure on, but let's just keep walking and looking,
0:15:20 > 0:15:24- but this one's down to you if you can.- Oh!- No pressure!
0:15:24 > 0:15:28Ooh, Jonathan! Upping the stakes in the final furlong.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30- How about that?- It's musical.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33It depends how much it is, though.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37- That's a...- Does it play, that? - How much is this, please?
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Very best price, I'll do you 85.
0:15:39 > 0:15:44- Er...- Shall we do that? - It stands a chance.
0:15:44 > 0:15:49- It's a very good musical mech in that one.- They're basically sort of 1930s...- Where is Widdicombe?
0:15:49 > 0:15:52- Down in...- Somerset. - Somerset.- Somerset.- Down Devon way.
0:15:52 > 0:15:57We sold one in our last auction on Tuesday and we got £75 for it,
0:15:57 > 0:16:03- so, at 85, it's borderline, really. - Yeah.- But we're running out of time.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05So are Kerry and John, Henry.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09OK, look for a stall that you think might catch your eye and then just go for it.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13- I can't. I feel as if I've got pressure on me now. - You're all right.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Yes, yes, yes!
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Keep moving, keep moving.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Are you specifically looking for anything in particular now, do you think?
0:16:24 > 0:16:28No, I want something that catches my eye.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32- Would you take a risk? - I'd take a risk at it. - Could we have this for 70?
0:16:32 > 0:16:34I couldn't do that, I'm afraid.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36How much?
0:16:36 > 0:16:41- A tenner.- That's kind of like Austrian Loetz.- It is Loetz. - It is Loetz? Is it with damage?
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- On the top rim.- Oh, yeah. There's a big chunk out.
0:16:44 > 0:16:45- Yeah.- OK. Sorry!
0:16:47 > 0:16:51I mean, a tenner would be...straightforward.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53- There's a chunk out the top.- Yeah.
0:16:53 > 0:16:58Someone might go to the trouble of doing that. If it was in good condition, it would get £200.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02- I'd stick that back up there if I were you. It's here, if we have to rush back, it's an easy tenner.- OK.
0:17:02 > 0:17:07- Cos I would like...- I'll put the chip on the outside to put people off.- Shall we go down that way?
0:17:07 > 0:17:09I like your style, Kerry!
0:17:11 > 0:17:16I'll tell you what, I'll do it at 80, and that'll be my absolute best deal. That'll give you a fighting chance.
0:17:16 > 0:17:21I honestly think if you bought that, the gentleman's right, you'd have a fighting chance.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25- Right, OK.- Right. OK, I've got a good feeling about this.- OK.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28- We'll deal with the 80. - Thank you very much.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35OK, how much is that?
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Er...absolutely definitely it would be 180.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43That's a really big spend,
0:17:43 > 0:17:49- but this sort of thing can be quite collectible in the right market. - Yeah.- The verse is...what's it say?
0:17:49 > 0:17:53"When I was young I...
0:17:53 > 0:17:58- "Thought..."- The spelling's not perfect!- "I little thought that...
0:17:58 > 0:18:02- "Learning...- Was so easily taught."
0:18:02 > 0:18:05That's quite...that's quite funny.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07It's quite a bit of early comedy, really.
0:18:07 > 0:18:14- Er...- Do we go out and buy it?- Yeah! - Rock bottoms, you wouldn't take just another tenner...?
0:18:14 > 0:18:19If you take that, I'll give you the Loetz for free.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Well, if you're going to chuck that in for free, it's not quite in the rules...
0:18:22 > 0:18:28- I'm always in favour of that... - No rules!- Since then, Jonathan? - Let's break the rules.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30So we're doing it.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34- Thank you very much. Brilliant. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36I was destined to be on Bargain Hunt today, I knew it!
0:18:36 > 0:18:40- It's exciting.- I'm excited as well, actually.- Yeah! It'll be good.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42They've crossed the finish.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Just as well, really, because time's up!
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Mmm...so what did those Reds buy?
0:18:48 > 0:18:52They settled quickly on an iron railway sign for...
0:18:52 > 0:18:54There's got to be a £20-£30 profit in that, I really see it...
0:18:54 > 0:18:58Then Jonathan picked up a silver and agate brooch...
0:18:58 > 0:19:02and in the dying minutes they landed a sampler
0:19:02 > 0:19:05and a chipped Loetz vase for...
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- I'm always in favour of that... - No rules!
0:19:08 > 0:19:10So what did you finish up by spending?
0:19:10 > 0:19:16- We spent 255, leaving us with £45. - £45 left over. Who's got that?
0:19:16 > 0:19:21- Me.- £45 left over to me, please. - There's 40...and there's 5 Queens.
0:19:21 > 0:19:22Lovely. I trust you. Millions wouldn't.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26- Yeah, I know!- Which is your favourite piece, Kerry?
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Er...definitely the tapestry.
0:19:28 > 0:19:33- That's your favourite? - Yeah. That's something that I'd actually have at home.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Here's your £45. What are you going to do with this, old fruit?
0:19:36 > 0:19:40- Oh...- Got any ideas? Have you got a plan?
0:19:40 > 0:19:47Well, I feel a little bit guilty because Kerry's not had a retro, vintage type thing,
0:19:47 > 0:19:52so I'm going to look for something along that sort of line so you have something you really like.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55- I just want to please the lady. - Is that what you want to do?
0:19:55 > 0:19:59Well, nothing's new, then, is it, Jonathan? Anyway, very, very good luck!
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought?
0:20:03 > 0:20:07They got underway with the gilt spoon for...
0:20:07 > 0:20:11Then Gary felt an Edwardian chamber stick was worth a punt.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16And they thought the Widdicombe Fair musical jug would sing at auction.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- Right, OK.- Right. OK, I've got a good feeling about this.- OK.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22How much have you spent overall?
0:20:22 > 0:20:28- 154...was it? 154?- I think so. - Sounds about right.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30- £146. Who's got the £146?- I have.
0:20:30 > 0:20:35- Thank you very much, Paul. That's lovely.- Some coins here.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39- There you go.- You're a gent. That's supposed to be 6 in there with all those 50p, is it?
0:20:39 > 0:20:42We'll believe you. Anyway, here we go, Henry.
0:20:42 > 0:20:47- Thank you.- Here's a vast amount of money for you.- My tip? - It's your pocket money, actually!
0:20:47 > 0:20:50- What are you going to spend it on, Henry?- Not too sure yet.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54Perhaps some boys' toys or something like that, you never know!
0:20:54 > 0:20:58Well, there's plenty of scope to go for, and very, very good luck!
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Meanwhile we're heading off to a place of excellence,
0:21:01 > 0:21:05the Walker Art Gallery just down the road in Liverpool.
0:21:13 > 0:21:18The Walker Art Gallery opened its doors in 1877,
0:21:18 > 0:21:23and before long its walls, halls and galleries were all crammed with works of art,
0:21:23 > 0:21:30generously provided by Liverpudlians who were keen on showing off their artistic side...
0:21:30 > 0:21:31like.
0:21:35 > 0:21:41These benefactors splashed the cash to ensure that, by the 1890s,
0:21:41 > 0:21:45the Walker was arguably the greatest gallery outside London.
0:21:45 > 0:21:50And one of the finest jewels in the gallery's crown
0:21:50 > 0:21:53is its collection of sculpture.
0:21:53 > 0:21:58And some would say that the very finest piece of sculpture in the collection is this...
0:21:58 > 0:22:01John Gibson's Venus...
0:22:01 > 0:22:04known as The Tinted Venus.
0:22:04 > 0:22:09If you look at her face, she quite obviously has got pink lips and blue eyes,
0:22:09 > 0:22:13if you look at her hair, that most certainly is blonde.
0:22:13 > 0:22:19And it's tied up in a hairnet that's got bright blue stripes on it.
0:22:19 > 0:22:25When he completed this figure in 1856, he so loved it, he wouldn't allow it to be seen,
0:22:25 > 0:22:27or even leave his workshop.
0:22:27 > 0:22:33When it did go out after 1860, it created a furore.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36It was perfectly acceptable
0:22:36 > 0:22:41to have large areas of flesh in sculpture
0:22:41 > 0:22:45even in prudish mid-Victorian times,
0:22:45 > 0:22:52but by introducing the colour scheme it was thought to have gone beyond the pale.
0:22:52 > 0:22:58However the nation's tastes for classically inspired pieces of sculpture like this
0:22:58 > 0:23:01was just about to change.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07By the 1870s, a raw, brash group of sculptors entered the scene.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10They were looking for movement, muscularity...
0:23:10 > 0:23:14They wanted to throw the conventions of classical sculpture out of the window!
0:23:14 > 0:23:21And one of the sculptors who embraced the principles of the New Sculpture movement
0:23:21 > 0:23:23was Edward Onslow Ford
0:23:23 > 0:23:28who created this statue, entitled Peace.
0:23:28 > 0:23:34He was a sculptor who was particularly interested in symbolism,
0:23:34 > 0:23:41and in this figure we've got a young girl who's holding in the one hand a frond of palm,
0:23:41 > 0:23:49emblematic of victory, and in her other hand she's releasing the dove of peace.
0:23:49 > 0:23:54I love the way that Onslow Ford has got some movement here.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57There's nothing classical about this piece.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Her body is inclining to the right,
0:24:00 > 0:24:07but yet it's counterbalanced by this delicious spray of palm from above.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Gorgeous!
0:24:21 > 0:24:28One of the leading exponents of the New Sculpture movement was William Hamo Thornycroft
0:24:28 > 0:24:37who, particularly in this figure, personifies the pursuit of realism in sculpture.
0:24:37 > 0:24:42One day in 1881, he was travelling up the Thames by boat
0:24:42 > 0:24:47and spotted an agricultural labourer on the bank.
0:24:47 > 0:24:54He was so inspired by this, he sketched the theme and ultimately worked up this piece of sculpture
0:24:54 > 0:24:56which is entitled The Mower.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02This is not copying some earlier classical pose,
0:25:02 > 0:25:07this is raw, this is tough life itself
0:25:07 > 0:25:10as it was at the end of the 19th century.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14The big question today is of course
0:25:14 > 0:25:19how tough is life going to be for our teams over at the auction?
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Hopefully not too tough
0:25:23 > 0:25:27as we hotfoot it south to Nantwich in Cheshire,
0:25:27 > 0:25:31where auctioneer Robert Stones is waiting for us.
0:25:31 > 0:25:36We've got this rather handsome railway plate. What do you know about that, Robert?
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Well, I think it's quite an interesting thing that somebody's bought here.
0:25:39 > 0:25:45We've got LNER, the well-known railway that went up the East Coast of England.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49LNER was established in 1923 and was actually nationalised in 1948,
0:25:49 > 0:25:54- so it only had a small span of time it was actually in use, so, nice interesting thing.- Good.
0:25:54 > 0:25:59- Brilliant. What sort of estimate have you put on it?- 50-80. - They paid 60.- Well...
0:25:59 > 0:26:02- Slap-bang in the middle.- Could be in the money.- Could be in the money.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Now, what about this little oddball brooch?
0:26:05 > 0:26:10Well, interesting thing for sure. Cornelian and bloodstone stones in it.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12It's a white metal.
0:26:12 > 0:26:17Manx three legs in the centre there which is quite a nice thing.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Generally these sort of semiprecious stone things are made in Scotland,
0:26:20 > 0:26:26but the unfortunate thing about it is, if you turn it over, it's been repaired, which is not good.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29- The condition is unfortunate, isn't it?- Doesn't help it.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33- But our team only paid £15 for it. - Did they?- Will it make £15?
0:26:33 > 0:26:37- They could be into profit with that. We've put 20-40 on it.- Have you? That's very sound.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41Excellent. Now, a complicated lot, this...
0:26:41 > 0:26:43- because it comes in two parts.- Ah?
0:26:43 > 0:26:48Our cunning, negotiating Jonathan Pratt didn't get a discount,
0:26:48 > 0:26:50he got the glass pot instead.
0:26:50 > 0:26:55- So we start off, let's say, with the sampler...- Yes.- Do you rate that?
0:26:55 > 0:26:57I think it's a terrific thing.
0:26:57 > 0:26:591855, the date on it.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03Condition is everything with these, so it has to be said there's a certain amount of damp
0:27:03 > 0:27:09or water damage that's got into it. It wouldn't take a lot of effort to get that sorted out,
0:27:09 > 0:27:11- and it could look quite nice. - Yeah, I think so too.
0:27:11 > 0:27:16And the colours, you know... those pinks and reds and what-not are quite vibrant, aren't they?
0:27:16 > 0:27:20- Yeah, I agree.- So a candidate for restoration?- Yeah. - And what's your estimate on that?
0:27:20 > 0:27:24- 50-80.- Is that all?- Yeah. - Cos they paid 180 for it.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28- Did they really? My goodness!- £180. They fell in love with it.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32- Well, it might just take off.- Well, I wish them luck with it, cos it has great potential, it's a nice thing.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36Well, that's very sweet of you to say so, and then the discount bit
0:27:36 > 0:27:42- took the form of this chipped little Austrian vase pot.- Yes...
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Which I'm afraid you're going to have to offer for sale.
0:27:45 > 0:27:52Well, we'll do our damnedest, but it has to be said with glass, if it's damaged, and that is damaged,
0:27:52 > 0:27:54it's got a big chunk out of it...
0:27:54 > 0:27:59it really does make a big difference to the value. So something like that I think is going to be
0:27:59 > 0:28:03- quite a struggle. We'll see what we can do...- Excellent. Anyway...
0:28:03 > 0:28:09depending on how all this malarkey sorts out, the team probably will need their bonus buy,
0:28:09 > 0:28:12so let's go and have a look at it.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Kerry and John, the bonus buy moment.
0:28:15 > 0:28:21- Are you excited about this? - Yeah, very.- What has JP got under his little red rag?
0:28:21 > 0:28:25You gave him £45. What did you buy, JP?
0:28:25 > 0:28:26Well...
0:28:28 > 0:28:32- OK.- A brooch.- A brooch. I'll pass it straight over.
0:28:32 > 0:28:37When I spied that, I looked at it, thinking, "This is a good piece of Victorian jewellery."
0:28:37 > 0:28:43It's not set with gems, although it's multicoloured paste, but set in silver,
0:28:43 > 0:28:49- so there's a lot of work gone into making that.- Yeah.- But it's a very pretty brooch, I think.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51- How much did you pay for that? - I paid £40.- Oh?
0:28:51 > 0:28:54And are you pleased to have paid £40?
0:28:54 > 0:28:58Do you feel quite chuffed with yourself that you got it just for £40?
0:28:58 > 0:29:03Er... Well, look, you know, buying the bonus buy is a difficult exercise,
0:29:03 > 0:29:08and I sometimes fret about my purchases, but having seen it again this morning I'm really pleased.
0:29:08 > 0:29:14- I've done rather well actually, I think.- It's definitely something I would buy.- It's very neat.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18They say diamonds are a girl's best friend! This is the nearest thing. Anyway...
0:29:18 > 0:29:20thank you very much. You'll decide later,
0:29:20 > 0:29:25but for the audience at home let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Jonathan's brooch.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Well, Robert, look at that.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33Love it! I think this is a really charming little basket of flowers.
0:29:33 > 0:29:37It's got paste stones in there which is lovely.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40And what more can you say about it? The condition is super.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44And, quite honestly, I think this sort of jewellery is really underrated.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47It's not fashionable perhaps to have brooches these days,
0:29:47 > 0:29:50but quite honestly any lady would really love that.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53- A great object.- He's such a good salesman, Robert, isn't he?
0:29:53 > 0:29:56You should be in the jewellery-selling business, Robert!
0:29:56 > 0:30:04- What do you think for this?- We're saying £15-£30, but I think it's great value and should make more.
0:30:04 > 0:30:05Well, Jonathan paid 40.
0:30:05 > 0:30:10- Did he? Well, it deserves to do that and better.- Doesn't it? Well, if anybody can sell it
0:30:10 > 0:30:14- to its best advantage, it'll be you. - We'll do our best. - Now, that's it for the Reds.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16Now for the Blues.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19Their first item is the spoon.
0:30:19 > 0:30:24This is rather nice. It's difficult to know with these quite what the silver content is, if any,
0:30:24 > 0:30:28and of course none of these things are marked, so it makes it rather difficult to trace it back.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30But it's a good decorative thing,
0:30:30 > 0:30:34which, you know, I think is quite a pleasing little thing to be selling, really.
0:30:34 > 0:30:40- How much?- We're saying 10-20. So not a lot of money, but it's good value for money.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42Bit of a tempting estimate, I'd say!
0:30:42 > 0:30:46- £37 they paid for it.- 37?- Yeah. - OK. We'll have to do our best.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49- We'll have to get weaving with that one.- Excellent.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Now, the little hurricane chamber lamp.
0:30:51 > 0:30:56I mean, you are in a seriously draughty house with this, aren't you?
0:30:56 > 0:31:00You've stuck your candle in the middle of that, and you're heading off to the north wing,
0:31:00 > 0:31:06but, unfortunately, you've got to go through 3 open courtyards and 19 outside staircases
0:31:06 > 0:31:10before you get up to your room! Hence this glass protector.
0:31:10 > 0:31:16- Well, I think you're getting a bit carried away...- All right. - Nonetheless, it's a good thing.
0:31:16 > 0:31:22The thing I like about it is the quality. All this cutting here on the shade is great quality,
0:31:22 > 0:31:27- so, from that point of view, I would say about 30-50.- £37.
0:31:27 > 0:31:32They paid £37 for the first item, they paid £37 for the second item.
0:31:32 > 0:31:37- No, well, that's excellent, isn't it? £30-50.- Nice thing. - You could get £60 for that, easy.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39- Yeah.- They'd be very pleased.
0:31:39 > 0:31:43- Now, we're a long way from Devon, all right?- We are indeed.
0:31:43 > 0:31:50So how do Crown Devon musical Widdicombe Fair musical jugs fare in Cheshire?
0:31:50 > 0:31:52Well...
0:31:52 > 0:31:58- I'm not too familiar with what goes on in Devon, unlike you... - Are you not?
0:31:58 > 0:32:06But it would be fair to say that these jugs have all sorts of different musical boxes inside them.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10It seems to be in pretty good order all round, made in about 1930, something like that,
0:32:10 > 0:32:15- and of course produced in Stoke-on-Trent...- Yes.- So it's something we see fairly regularly.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19- How much do you think you're going to get for it?- 50-80.- Very good.
0:32:19 > 0:32:25£80 they paid. So that's pretty well spot on. If you can sell that well, they won't need their bonus buy.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29If it doesn't go so hot, they're going to need it, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:32:30 > 0:32:35You gave Henry £146.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Henry, what did you spend it on?
0:32:37 > 0:32:40Well, what do you think to this?
0:32:40 > 0:32:47- What is it?- It's a walnut box and it's made from the beam of the HMS Arethusa.
0:32:47 > 0:32:53It was a 50-gun frigate which served out in the Crimea during 1854-56,
0:32:53 > 0:32:57and it was broken up in 1933.
0:32:57 > 0:33:02- What do you think?- Really nice. - You certainly don't see too many of these every day.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05Built from a ship, from the remains of a ship.
0:33:05 > 0:33:11It looks like a 1930s box. You wouldn't, without the plaque, make any connection with the Royal Navy,
0:33:11 > 0:33:15and certainly not a vessel that dates from the 1840s.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19So from all that point of view it is interesting.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23- I'd say it's highly speculative, but, er...- Well, that depends on...
0:33:23 > 0:33:25How much is it? What have you paid for it?
0:33:25 > 0:33:28It cost me £38.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30Oh, wow, so we still have quite a bit to spare, then.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34It's the sort of thing... People collect Naval memorabilia.
0:33:34 > 0:33:41- You never know. Hopefully, it'll do well.- I don't think it'll sink. - I don't think it'll sink either.
0:33:41 > 0:33:42Anyway, you don't pick now, you pick later.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46For the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Henry's box.
0:33:48 > 0:33:53Here we go, look. A little test of your knowledge of marine history. Robert?
0:33:53 > 0:33:59Well, Tim, to be honest, you don't need to know a great deal about this because it's all on the plaque!
0:33:59 > 0:34:06And it was an all-wooden boat. It was the last Royal Navy boat to go into a warship situation
0:34:06 > 0:34:12- under sail only.- Really?- Quite extraordinary. It was then scrapped
0:34:12 > 0:34:16or broken down in Woolwich and that's when, of course, the timbers would have been used to make...
0:34:16 > 0:34:20well, I've seen furniture and all sorts of things made out of timbers taken from ships.
0:34:20 > 0:34:24So this is little box that was made out of those timbers. It's a pleasant enough thing.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28- And what do you think it's worth? - We're looking about £10-20 on it.
0:34:28 > 0:34:34- Is that all?- How much did they pay for it?- £38 did our new boy 'Enery.
0:34:34 > 0:34:39- He thought it was pretty wizard. - Mmm...we're going to have to get weaving, aren't we?- You are!
0:34:39 > 0:34:41What's the name of your local river?
0:34:41 > 0:34:43- The Weaver!- There you go.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45That's why you're going to get weaving!
0:34:45 > 0:34:49- Anyway, thank you very much. - Thanks very much indeed. - Thanks, Robert.- Thanks, Tim.
0:34:49 > 0:34:5155 anywhere now, do I hear?

0:34:55 > 0:34:57At 65, then.
0:34:57 > 0:35:02- How are you feeling? All right? - Yeah.- Pretty zappy?- Excited. - Nervous as well.
0:35:02 > 0:35:07- What have you got to be nervous about?- I don't know... I don't know how we're going to do.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Sounding rather frightened!
0:35:10 > 0:35:14This isn't like the Kerry we know, is it, JP?
0:35:14 > 0:35:20- Ah...- What happened to that super confident person?- I don't know, she's now...- A crumbling wreck!
0:35:20 > 0:35:23- Crumbling!- I don't know. You've got nothing to worry about.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27You've got you railway sign, right? You paid £60 for that. And here it comes!
0:35:27 > 0:35:32Lot number 50, ladies and gentlemen, the LNER railway sign, cast iron.

0:36:45 > 0:36:48If you're all finished. At 100.

0:37:14 > 0:37:18The freebie gives you plus £10 which means overall you are...
0:37:18 > 0:37:23- minus £35.- OK, sorry guys.- It's all right.- Nothing to be sorry about.

0:38:17 > 0:38:22Which means overall you're minus £20, which is no shame. I've seen a lot worse than that.
0:38:22 > 0:38:28- All right? Minus 20 is your final score. Don't tell the Blues a thing. - We won't.- Hush-hush!
0:38:32 > 0:38:36- Now, Gary and Paul, do you know how the Reds got on? - No, don't know yet.- No idea?

0:40:17 > 0:40:21Oh, dear! This is not working for you at all, I have to say.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23Minus £34. What are you going to do about the old box?
0:40:23 > 0:40:26We're going to break even with the box at the very least.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30- It's a team game. Henry's going to navigate us to get some money back! - The pressure's on.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32- You don't have to go with this box. - We're going with it.
0:40:32 > 0:40:37- He's not going to burst into tears if you don't.- Henry's the man. - Is he?- Am I?- You're going with it.
0:40:37 > 0:40:42Well, there's the decision, then. Determined to go with this box. Here it comes.
0:40:42 > 0:40:47Lot number 77. This mahogany box, absolutely super thing,
0:40:47 > 0:40:49with the plaque on the top of it. What may we say?
0:40:49 > 0:40:54- I've got £20 bid for it straightaway on commission.- That's a good start!
0:40:54 > 0:40:5625? 25. 30 now, do I hear?

0:40:59 > 0:41:03- 40 now.- Come on.- At 40 now. Your bid at 35. Looking for 40.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06Come on!
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Come on, you can hear them begging you from the back!
0:41:08 > 0:41:11This man's going in the Mersey!
0:41:11 > 0:41:13At 35!
0:41:13 > 0:41:1540 anywhere else?
0:41:15 > 0:41:17I'm nervous now.
0:41:17 > 0:41:21- 40! It's worth a round of applause, that! 40 is bid!- Saved him!
0:41:21 > 0:41:2550 now? 45 it's your bid. The bid's there at 45. It's your bid.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27Will be sold at £45.
0:41:27 > 0:41:32- Brilliant.- Well done.- Thanks. - Excellent!
0:41:32 > 0:41:35- We're pleased!- Plus 7.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37You had to hold it in your hand!
0:41:37 > 0:41:40You are still minus £27.
0:41:40 > 0:41:44Now, listen, lads, that could be a winning score. Don't say a word to those naughty Reds, all right?
0:41:50 > 0:41:52- Well, teams, have we been chatting at all?- No.
0:41:52 > 0:41:58- No communication? You have no idea how close you are today?- No.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02There is £7 only between our teams.
0:42:02 > 0:42:08The similarities are remarkable. Both teams went with the bonus buy and made a profit
0:42:08 > 0:42:13with the bonus buy. Both of our experts are walking tall and feeling proud today,
0:42:13 > 0:42:18because they'd done their stuff with the bonus buy, but, sadly, to the tune of only £7,
0:42:18 > 0:42:20one team's behind and that team is...
0:42:20 > 0:42:23- the Blues!- Oh!- Yes!
0:42:23 > 0:42:29You lose today by only losing £27, yeah?
0:42:29 > 0:42:33- Look at the emotion! - That's a real sore one.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Do you feel really sore about this? You don't?
0:42:35 > 0:42:40- No.- I don't want it to ruin your day, Gary, because you've been a great team.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43- But you are, sadly, the runners-up today. But the winners, the Reds! - Yes!
0:42:43 > 0:42:46This is really peachy, isn't it?
0:42:46 > 0:42:50- You've won by only losing £20. - Winning loses!
0:42:50 > 0:42:54- Yeah, we're really quite pleased with that, aren't we? - I don't blame you.
0:42:54 > 0:42:58That little brooch was a peach. What let you down was the sampler.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01Were it not for the sampler, you'd be taking home folding money!
0:43:01 > 0:43:05Which is a pity, really. But nevertheless you cracked it.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08- You've won today and I hope you've enjoyed it.- Yeah, very much so.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10Well done, JP, on your profit.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13- Great day! Join us soon for some more Bargain Hunting! Yes?- Yes!
