0:00:03 > 0:00:08- For the Red team today, it's Brian and Sandy.- Hello, Tim.
0:00:08 > 0:00:12- And for the Blue team, it's Judy and Dudley.- Hello, Tim.
0:00:12 > 0:00:16So it's married couples versus married couples, right?
0:00:16 > 0:00:17No, Tim!
0:00:17 > 0:00:19No? Oh!
0:00:19 > 0:00:22It's wives versus husbands!
0:00:22 > 0:00:26Let's go Bargain Hunting or, rather, let battle commence!
0:00:54 > 0:00:58We're at the Newark and Nottingham Showground
0:00:58 > 0:01:00where we're about to have a right old domestic!
0:01:02 > 0:01:04With the wives today is Paul Laidlaw.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Do you think the boys would lend us some of their 300?
0:01:09 > 0:01:12And looking after the men, it's Mr Jeremy Lamond.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16- The wives is fine. We've got to beat the wives!- We've got to beat them.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20Both teams have just one hour and £300 to find three objects
0:01:20 > 0:01:23that will hopefully make a profit at auction.
0:01:23 > 0:01:2550, 50 bid. How does 82 sound?
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- And there they all are! Hello, everyone.- Hello, Tim.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Now, Judy, how did this all come about, darling?
0:01:32 > 0:01:36Well, I've been wanting to go on the programme for a long time.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Kept talking about it, but did nothing about it,
0:01:38 > 0:01:43but my friend here, she applied last year and it's thanks to her we're here today.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- So you're responsible, Sandy? - I believe so, yeah.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Now, you've got a particular advantage, I believe?
0:01:48 > 0:01:52- Yes, we used to have a small junk... antiques business.- Oh!
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Did the word junk come in there?
0:01:54 > 0:01:55Well, sort of.
0:01:57 > 0:02:02Yeah, we used to buy and sell a little bit from the auctions, and sell at car boots...
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Did you ever find anything spectacular?
0:02:04 > 0:02:08- Certainly did. A couple of Clarice Cliffs.- Did you? So this is your little partnership?
0:02:08 > 0:02:13- It was, yes.- And did you return and show off your treasures to your husbands?
0:02:13 > 0:02:18- They just weren't interested. - They weren't... Good!- As usual!
0:02:18 > 0:02:20And do you have any collections, Judy?
0:02:20 > 0:02:25Yes, I used to collect teacups and saucers, but I now feel I've got enough,
0:02:25 > 0:02:29- so I've stopped now. - What, any old teacup and saucer?
0:02:29 > 0:02:34Yes, anything that was pretty. It didn't have to be a name, as long as I liked it.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38Now, Sandy, I know you're apt to play practical jokes on your friend Judy.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40What sort of things do you do?
0:02:40 > 0:02:42I think the best one was the rotten egg under the bed,
0:02:42 > 0:02:46which I put there and wondered how long it would take her to find it.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48And it was about three weeks before she found it,
0:02:48 > 0:02:52but she came to me and said, "I'm very worried about Dudley.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55"He's doing strange things and putting rotten eggs under the bed!"
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- No!- She thought he'd lost the plot completely.
0:02:58 > 0:03:04- That's pretty bad, isn't it, Dudley? - I get all the blame.- You get all the blame for everything!
0:03:04 > 0:03:06How do you think you'll get on against your husbands?
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- Beat them easily, won't we? - Piece of cake.- Really? - We know what we're doing.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12- We've heard that brave talk before! - I know.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18- Now, boys, are you up for this challenge? - We certainly are, Tim, yes.- Yeah.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20What do you think you're going to get up to?
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Look for something profitable,
0:03:23 > 0:03:25it doesn't matter whether we like it or not,
0:03:25 > 0:03:27as long as it returns a profit and we can show who the bosses are!
0:03:27 > 0:03:32- Do you know anything about antiques at all?- Not at all.- Well, you'll do well on Bargain Hunt!
0:03:32 > 0:03:34We think so. No, perfect.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37You two became friends because of your wives?
0:03:37 > 0:03:41- Yes, we were thrown into it. - Your wives met after you'd obviously married,
0:03:41 > 0:03:45they became quite close and you were just dragged along.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49We sort of had to start talking to each other, and we didn't have a lot of choice, really.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53- And has that been a pain?- No, absolutely not!- You get on well. Now, Dudley,
0:03:53 > 0:03:58- apart from being a model husband, I know that you're also a model railway enthusiast.- That's correct.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02I build my own layouts, keep the grandchildren happy when they come down,
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- let them get it out and play with it.- You don't have it permanently set up in your roof?
0:04:06 > 0:04:11- Not any more. I used to, but I haven't got the room now. - Now, Brian,
0:04:11 > 0:04:14your hobby is dressing up in women's clothing.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Not exactly a hobby, but when forced into it by my wife,
0:04:17 > 0:04:22because she organises a bizarre thing for our local Wobaston's Got Talent...
0:04:22 > 0:04:28- She makes you get into her clothing? - No, she makes them specially for me. - Does she?- Absolutely.- Lovely!
0:04:28 > 0:04:32- Nice little tutu.- That's your role, is it, to go around advertising the fair?
0:04:32 > 0:04:38- It was, yes. Four of us went on stage and did the dance of the swans from Swan Lake...- What, dying swans?
0:04:38 > 0:04:40We were dying, I think!
0:04:40 > 0:04:42So the dance of the dying swans and then you died?
0:04:42 > 0:04:46- We did.- You never did it again? - Not at all.- Well, there you go. - Don't plan to, anyway.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51- No.- Unless the arm gets twisted a lot.- Are you going to be able to beat your wives today?
0:04:51 > 0:04:52- Of course!- Ah!
0:04:52 > 0:04:57- We have a very strong plan, Tim. - Yes. - Buy quickly and go to the beer tent.
0:04:58 > 0:05:03- Fuelled by alcohol!- Absolutely! - Well, anyway, you know the money moment?
0:05:03 > 0:05:08Well, this is it. Here's your £300. £300 a team. You know the rules.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Your experts await, and off you go, and very, very good luck!
0:05:11 > 0:05:14I think I should retrain as a divorce lawyer!
0:05:17 > 0:05:19- You versus the husbands? - That's right.- My word!
0:05:19 > 0:05:25- Well, at the risk of aggro after the event, are we going to trounce them? - Definitely!- Trounce them.- Do it!
0:05:26 > 0:05:28So what are going to do to beat the ladies?
0:05:28 > 0:05:32- The wives is fine. We've got to beat the wives!- We've got to beat them.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36- Something small and valuable.- Right, let's go in here. Let's head inside.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Let the shopping begin!
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- What appeals to you personally? - Sadly, so much!
0:05:44 > 0:05:48- Find anything interesting? - Plastic dog, I don't think we'll go for that.- OK.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- Morning to you all.- Good morning. - Are you enjoying it?- So far.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Are you sure about that?
0:05:54 > 0:05:56- Onwards?- Yes.- Thanks.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Have a good day now.- Thank you. - You can take the dog with you.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02He doesn't look too thrilled by that idea!
0:06:04 > 0:06:10Looks like Brian and Dudley have spotted something to get one over on their loved ones.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14What about that? It's in pretty good shape.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16- It's a nice Berlin plate.- Berlin?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- That sceptre is for Berlin.- OK.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23So...it's not a terribly old one,
0:06:23 > 0:06:26it's early 20th century, but it's a nice, hand-painted plate.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29What sort of auction price would you put on that?
0:06:29 > 0:06:33Well, I think you could well get 80-120. It's on the edge of a profit.
0:06:33 > 0:06:40- It's a little bit rubbed there. How would that affect its...?- I quite like the look of it, actually.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43- Do you like that?- Yeah. Do you, Dudley?- Yes, it's different.
0:06:43 > 0:06:49- It's our first one.- It's in good condition, isn't it?- So, how much...?
0:06:49 > 0:06:55- Well, it's 90...we'll say 90 on it. - Excuse me...- 125 on the back.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00- What's the best you could do on that?- That is the best.- What, 90? - Yeah.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04Only five minutes in and they look like they're going to get their first item.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- Shall we just...? - Let's go for that, then.- Yeah.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09- We'll go for it.- OK...
0:07:09 > 0:07:10- OK.- Please.
0:07:10 > 0:07:15The chaps seem in a rush to buy something. Why could that be?
0:07:15 > 0:07:21Well, the strategy is to buy three items within ten minutes and head to the beer tent.
0:07:21 > 0:07:26- So we've got one within five, so it's looking good at the moment. OK, Brian?- Absolutely.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28- Let's go and do it. - Let's beat those wives.
0:07:36 > 0:07:41- This chap here has got some silver but he's just unpacking.- Yeah. - Now...
0:07:41 > 0:07:44what do you think of that there, an epergne?
0:07:44 > 0:07:49- I like it.- Table centrepiece, very flamboyant. Now, we know that's not silver...
0:07:49 > 0:07:55- because it isn't sitting on the deck if it's £1,200 worth of silver, is it?- No.
0:07:55 > 0:08:01And we couldn't afford it anyway, but as a piece of plate in a market that's flat for plate,
0:08:01 > 0:08:06- that's flamboyant, that's stand-out. What's your reaction to that?- Er...
0:08:06 > 0:08:08I like the idea because I like epergnes,
0:08:08 > 0:08:12but I did come here thinking I only really want to look at silver, and not at plate.
0:08:12 > 0:08:17But I can understand what you're saying. We couldn't afford that in silver and it is a striking piece.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19- It is, isn't it? - Nice shape, nice style.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21What's it worth at auction?
0:08:21 > 0:08:26Two people fancy it, it could be worth £80-120 on a good day, on a good day!
0:08:26 > 0:08:31- On a bad day, it'd be cheap at 40... £50-80?- Hmm.- Nice thing, that.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35Excuse me, sir, what's the ticket on your epergne?
0:08:35 > 0:08:39- Where'd you want to be with it? It's £90, that's it. - No, sorry, too much.
0:08:39 > 0:08:44- Free caddy spoon goes with it. - A silver one?- No.- £40.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Nice try, wrong guy, goodbye.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- Is that your best, then? - Can't take less than £80 for it.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53- No...you could budge a wee bit. - 75, done deal.
0:08:53 > 0:09:00- And a free caddy spoon. You'll get a tenner for that.- Not for a silver-plated caddy spoon!
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- Scissors.- A cuddly toy!- Yeah!
0:09:03 > 0:09:09- £50.- Can't do it.- 50's no good, then?- I need to get something out of it. Come on, meet me.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- Spin a coin.- No, no...- What do you want it to be?- I want it to be £50!
0:09:13 > 0:09:16It might do 50-80 at auction.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19- 60.- No, I can't do it, man.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23- And you think I'm being gratuitous. - No, I don't.- 50 cash now!
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Don't tempt me with the cash!
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Well, it is cash!
0:09:27 > 0:09:31- We accept any kind of money apart from matrimony! Take it, £50, come on!- You've got the deal!
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- I like it.- I've got to open up. - You've spent some money!
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- Come on, where's the readies? - Thank you very much.
0:09:37 > 0:09:43Wow! That was some great haggling! One item down! I hope they treat you better at home, chaps!
0:09:50 > 0:09:53So our ten-minute strategy of getting all the items in ten minutes,
0:09:53 > 0:09:57we've passed that time barrier, so we've got to get two items in 50 minutes.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- Well, make it 20 minutes and then go to the beer tent!- OK.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02So long as they don't run out of beer!
0:10:02 > 0:10:04That's one pint less already, gentlemen.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09Over to you now. Show me what we're buying next!
0:10:15 > 0:10:19If you buy those, you've got to budget. You see the way the psychology's working?
0:10:19 > 0:10:24- Actually they're only £90. - Yeah, look. Condition is all.- Yeah.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- Found something, have you? - Yeah, it's quite nice.
0:10:35 > 0:10:41What about this, chaps? It's a boat condiment and I think that's more in our price range.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Seem to see a lot of them around at the auctions.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48- How much is that?- 25.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52Well, if you lose on it, you're not going to lose much, are you?
0:10:52 > 0:10:55What is it, chromium?
0:10:55 > 0:10:59It looks like it's got its original liner.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02A liner in a liner!
0:11:04 > 0:11:06- You're wasted on this. - Yeah, you're doing the wrong thing.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10- It's different, isn't it? - What's your best offer on this one?
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- Best on that would be 15.- 15.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- Well...- Make it number 2. - It's a bit of fun. Number 2?
0:11:18 > 0:11:23- Thank you very much.- You'll go with that, will you?- Yes.- OK.
0:11:23 > 0:11:29Another one down! These Blues really are in a rush to get to that beer tent!
0:11:30 > 0:11:35Whilst they look for their last item, come and check out this curiosity I've found.
0:11:35 > 0:11:42You normally expect to find in this sort of fair, a lot of rural, rather rustic objects,
0:11:42 > 0:11:48but I have to say, at first glance, this object is a bit of a puzzle.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52And from a distance, I saw it as a gadget
0:11:52 > 0:11:56that in the old days would have been used as a lavatory seat.
0:11:56 > 0:12:02If you go down to examine it, though, it is a rather beautiful construction.
0:12:02 > 0:12:07This top section looks just like the front of some wainscot panelling
0:12:07 > 0:12:10or even the top of a coffer.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12But what a coffer doesn't have
0:12:12 > 0:12:18is this curious device that slides up and down this groove.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22If I turn it on its side it gets even more intriguing,
0:12:22 > 0:12:28because underneath are some hand-wrought pieces of iron that the local blacksmith would have made
0:12:28 > 0:12:32that secure the two halves of the hole,
0:12:32 > 0:12:37enabling the two parts to come apart like that.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40What is this cunning device?
0:12:40 > 0:12:43It's actually called a baby walker.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47In the 17th and 18th centuries,
0:12:47 > 0:12:53you certainly had no baby-care shop to go and buy your infant equipment from.
0:12:53 > 0:12:58The local cabinetmaker or joiner simply made up something that was appropriate.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01The two halves underneath would grip the child like that,
0:13:01 > 0:13:06and the infant would be able to totter along for a short distance that way
0:13:06 > 0:13:09and totter along for a short distance that way.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11What's the dealer asking for it?
0:13:11 > 0:13:14He wants £230.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18What do I think he might get for it in a specialist sale?
0:13:18 > 0:13:23Well, I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't bring perhaps 600-800.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26What do you think about that, baby?
0:13:26 > 0:13:32Well, I don't think our teams need much help to walk, but maybe some guidance on antiques would be good.
0:13:33 > 0:13:38- It's a pepperette. - What's it made of? - It's a base metal alloy, isn't it?
0:13:38 > 0:13:46Ceramic at the bottom. Silver marks. That's silver that he's holding, English silver.
0:13:47 > 0:13:52What a strange beast! It might be more money that you're expecting.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54570. THEY LAUGH
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Do you think the boys would lend us some of their 300?
0:13:59 > 0:14:03I very much doubt that, ladies! They want to win as much as you.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- What is it, an ostrich leg or something?- That's what it is.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Have you not got one of those? I thought everyone had one of those.
0:14:11 > 0:14:16It looks like it is a bronze one. It's very heavily cast.
0:14:16 > 0:14:21And you've got... It's more of a mammoth, really, isn't it?
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- Because it's a shaggy elephant? - I think so, yeah.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- And the French did animals. - You think it might be French, then?
0:14:27 > 0:14:31Well, it could be a French one, and the Japanese did them,
0:14:31 > 0:14:33but I think we're looking at a mammoth here, aren't we?
0:14:33 > 0:14:36It certainly is a mammoth weight, isn't it?
0:14:37 > 0:14:41- No marks.- No marks, nothing at all. - Manufacturer?- No, nothing.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46The front legs look like they're backwards, don't they?
0:14:46 > 0:14:50- Do you like it?- Yeah, I think we should have a go at this.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52It's 85 on the ticket.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55What's you best price on this, please?
0:14:55 > 0:14:58On that one. We could go to 75 on that one.
0:14:58 > 0:15:04- 75? Do you like it, Dudley? - I like it. Would you go to 69, so we just get under 70?
0:15:04 > 0:15:08- Yeah, yeah, I think so. We can do that.- 69?
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- You happy with that?- I think so. - We'll go ahead. Thank you very much.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14- Great, thank you.- Thank you.
0:15:14 > 0:15:1915 minutes over their personal schedule, but still done in double-quick time!
0:15:19 > 0:15:23That's one of the fastest buying trips I've ever been on. 25 minutes for three objects.
0:15:23 > 0:15:29- Great! Off to the beer tent. - We've got 35 minutes.- Which way? - Down that way, I think.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32So while the husbands are going to put their feet up with a pint,
0:15:32 > 0:15:35the wives still need two objects.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40- We're going to run out of time. - Yes, you are, girls.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44There must be something here for you.
0:15:45 > 0:15:52A manicure set do anything for you, ladies? That's silver, silver, silver, and the handles are silver.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55When you look at it, it's a bit rubbed.
0:15:55 > 0:16:01The tool element, the working element cannot be of silver, because it's not strong enough.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04So it's plated steel and it oxidises, it rusts, OK?
0:16:04 > 0:16:08Now, if it's unsightly, it's a problem, because these have to look smart,
0:16:08 > 0:16:12but to be honest with you I would forgive what I see there, that's of no tremendous consequence.
0:16:12 > 0:16:19And you've got a full set of English marks there. That's pretty elegant. Is it all there? That's the...
0:16:19 > 0:16:23- Yeah.- Pieces go missing. What does the case look like? Have we seen the lid?
0:16:23 > 0:16:28It's just slightly...but you're going to get that at that age, aren't you?
0:16:28 > 0:16:32Yeah...I'll tell you this much... they're all fantastic sellers,
0:16:32 > 0:16:36but they never seem to make the money the public would expect them to.
0:16:36 > 0:16:41- 75.- It's not dear, but it's not a trade price either.
0:16:41 > 0:16:46- What do you think that would get at auction?- I think you'd need to be buying it at £40-50,
0:16:46 > 0:16:50- and you should be in safe water. - Right.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53- What's the trade on that? - £65 for cash.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55How do you feel about these numbers?
0:16:55 > 0:16:59- You liked that? That's fair enough? - I wouldn't want to pay more than 50 after what you said.
0:16:59 > 0:17:06- 50's a no-taker, then?- No, sir. - The dirt, we need to get it cleaned.- £65.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08- We've got to get it cleaned, 60? - If you think 60...
0:17:08 > 0:17:12- 60 will do me. > - You'll not lose much, you'll not make much,
0:17:12 > 0:17:17- you're on the money. - What do you think, Sandy? - I would go for it at 60.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- Yeah.- OK, then.- Yeah.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21- Thanks very much.- It's a deal.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Two items down but still one to go.
0:17:28 > 0:17:33- We have done silver, in a sense, twice...- Yeah.- Which is fair enough, cos we think we got decent things,
0:17:33 > 0:17:38but, different medium...is that jug telling you anything at this stage?
0:17:38 > 0:17:42- It's telling me it's Charlotte Rhead.- Excellent!- Is it?- Excellent.
0:17:42 > 0:17:47I like the form. Do we want to pick this up, because I can see the price tag at 65,
0:17:47 > 0:17:52- which sounds not a million miles from reality. Shall we, yes, no, before we go?- Yes.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55If it's delicate, don't let her touch it.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00Well, look, is there a problem? It's ringing quite true.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Tube-line decoration.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06The forms is...I actually like it, it's not as bland
0:18:06 > 0:18:10as Charlotte Rhead ware that is touted... Looking for the marks.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Look at what we've got here!
0:18:13 > 0:18:15We've got a plethora.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18- Lovely, lovely signature there. - Oh, OK.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Crown Ducal, the manufacturer,
0:18:21 > 0:18:25but I don't mind telling you I'm perplexed by and can't explain
0:18:25 > 0:18:28"Abbotsfield School Pupils July 1941".
0:18:28 > 0:18:32It means nothing to me, I'm prepared to admit that.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- Do you like? - Well, the fact it's Charlotte Rhead,
0:18:35 > 0:18:38it's got a name to it, and it's different to the stuff we've already bought.
0:18:38 > 0:18:44- Can you help us a bit?- I could help you a bit with the price of £50.
0:18:44 > 0:18:50Would you let us have it for 48, seeing as we bought the manicure set?
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Those cheeky girls are at it again!
0:18:53 > 0:18:57Yes, madam, as you've not chipped it too much, I can let it go for 48.
0:18:57 > 0:19:02- Give her time!- Well, we did it. Thanks very much. That's not a bad pot, that!
0:19:02 > 0:19:08There it is. Both teams finished. So let's remember what the wifey team bought.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12First up was that rather showy silver-plated piece.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17A vanity set was...
0:19:19 > 0:19:24And soon after, with minutes to go, they got a Charlotte Rhead pot...
0:19:25 > 0:19:29- That was excellent, Paul. - I'm glad, I think you did well.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33These look like contented customers, I must say!
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- Are you having a good time?- We are. Excellent. It's been a lovely day.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40- And that shopping experience was all right?- It was, fine, yes.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44- Wasn't too difficult, was it?- No. - With our expert... with our expert's help.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- And you're going to completely mash those old men of yours?- Too true!
0:19:49 > 0:19:54- How much did you spend all round? - 158.- 158? That's very good.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58- So I want £142, please.- Right.
0:19:58 > 0:20:04£142. I'll trust you with all that. Millions wouldn't!
0:20:04 > 0:20:08- Hand it over. There you go. Well, that's a tidy sum.- Excellent.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11We're riveted to see what you come up with next. Good luck with that.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Meanwhile we're going to find out how the Blue team got on, shall we?
0:20:15 > 0:20:19Quick off the mark, they got a decorative Berlin plate.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24The naval condiment was second on their list.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28And not far behind, with loads of minutes to spare,
0:20:28 > 0:20:31they hope to make a profit on their bonze elephant...
0:20:31 > 0:20:33if the wives don't trump them!
0:20:34 > 0:20:38You're too quick, you lot, I can tell you that! How many minutes did you finish in?
0:20:38 > 0:20:44- 25, 26.- 25.- The first one was in 2 minutes, was it?- 35 minutes' drinking, it went very well.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- Yeah, a good afternoon. - Speedy Gonzales, eh?
0:20:46 > 0:20:52- So you've spent £174?- That's right. - So who's got the 126?- That's me.
0:20:52 > 0:20:58- That's Dudley.- £126. There we go. Lovely, Dudley! Which is your favourite piece?
0:20:58 > 0:21:02- I'd have to say the cruise liner. - That's your favourite piece?
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- What about you?- I like the plate. - You like that, Brian?
0:21:05 > 0:21:10- Which is going to bring the biggest profit?- The cruise liner.- I think it might be the bronze elephant...
0:21:10 > 0:21:14- or mammoth, as you call it.- Coming up with a googly there, Brian.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18There we go, look. That's a tidy sum. Lovely, thank you very much.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22Meanwhile we're heading off to Sulgrave Manor.
0:21:26 > 0:21:32This house in Northamptonshire is the ancestral home of George Washington,
0:21:32 > 0:21:36first-ever President of the United States.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39George never lived here, he was born in Virginia.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43But his ancestors lived here for generations.
0:21:44 > 0:21:49In the early part of the 20th century, the house needed restoring
0:21:49 > 0:21:51to its former glory.
0:21:51 > 0:21:57But there's one room that following the restoration here in the 1920s
0:21:57 > 0:22:02that needed a bit of good fortune, and it was this...the kitchen.
0:22:02 > 0:22:08By pure coincidence, a house 80 miles away from this
0:22:08 > 0:22:15was scrapping its entire assemblage of kitchen cooking facilities
0:22:15 > 0:22:19which dated back to the Tudor and later periods,
0:22:19 > 0:22:24and they were removed and brought the 80 miles and fitted here at Sulgrave.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33The central part here, which is the hearth oven,
0:22:33 > 0:22:38is made up of a solid metal plate here in the middle.
0:22:38 > 0:22:43Underneath is an iron door, and you could, in the hearth oven,
0:22:43 > 0:22:46put your dishes underneath the fire.
0:22:46 > 0:22:52Or you could clear the ash from the logs above that plate
0:22:52 > 0:22:58and insert it through that trapdoor underneath the hearth oven,
0:22:58 > 0:23:03giving you two ways of cooking in the hearth oven from above or below.
0:23:05 > 0:23:11On the left-hand side is a rather nice curved-back niche, and fitted into the bottom
0:23:11 > 0:23:15of that niche is a little charcoal burner.
0:23:15 > 0:23:20On the far side here, we've got the traditional bread oven.
0:23:20 > 0:23:25Having proved your dough, insert it on these peels,
0:23:25 > 0:23:30remove the peel and then leave the bread to bake.
0:23:32 > 0:23:40As far as cooking techniques are concerned, this is fitted with the most magnificent 6-foot-long,
0:23:40 > 0:23:43cast-iron pot crane,
0:23:43 > 0:23:50effectively a hinged bar that enables you to hang on the bar, for example, a kettle,
0:23:50 > 0:23:56for your daily water boiling. Remember, with no electric immersion heater,
0:23:56 > 0:24:01if you want any hot water at all in the house, you have to boil it in a device like that.
0:24:01 > 0:24:09But I guess one of the most interesting mechanical devices has to be the spit itself.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13Your dead half a pig, prepared for roasting,
0:24:13 > 0:24:16would have this iron bar inserted through it,
0:24:16 > 0:24:20and it would be set up on these andirons.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24The spit bar and andirons are arranged especially
0:24:24 > 0:24:27so that they connect with this piece of rope.
0:24:27 > 0:24:33The piece of rope is connected to an engine called a spit jack.
0:24:33 > 0:24:40If I wind this handle, say, three times, that raises the brass gravity weight,
0:24:40 > 0:24:47and then the governor, the wheel on the top, starts to revolve.
0:24:47 > 0:24:52And that controls the rate at which the cord runs through the spit itself,
0:24:52 > 0:24:56and of course the rate at which the pig would revolve.
0:24:56 > 0:25:01Now, this would have been a considerable labour-saving device
0:25:01 > 0:25:03for your 17th-century cook.
0:25:03 > 0:25:04HE SNIFFS
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Nice smell!
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Why don't we have a look at something that I prepared earlier?
0:25:09 > 0:25:16Remove the peel from the bread oven to reveal a lovely loaf.
0:25:16 > 0:25:25Of course the big question today is are our teams going to make any bread...over at the auction?
0:25:34 > 0:25:41Well, it's a treat to be in Grantham again at Golding Young & Thomas Mawer's saleroom.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45- I'm with Colin Young, our host and auctioneer. - Pleasure to have you back, Tim.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49Now, Sandy and Judy have gone with the epergne.
0:25:49 > 0:25:57I was taught that these bits of silver-plated stuff weren't selling at all well.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01They're not, but that's only been in comparison to how well they used to sell.
0:26:01 > 0:26:07- A big, bold, impressive piece like that may well command £40-60. - Well, that's a relief.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10They paid 50, that's in the middle of your estimate, that's fair enough.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13I had a horrible feeling you were going to say it's worth £10-20.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17But that's fair enough. You're being very bullish, Colin, that's great.
0:26:17 > 0:26:23Next, you're going to have to be equally bullish with somebody else's manicure set.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26It's like somebody else's dressing-table brush set.
0:26:26 > 0:26:32Do you want to brush your hair using brushes that somebody else has had their Brylcreem through?
0:26:32 > 0:26:39Similarly with the verruca arrangement with these cutting, splitting tools.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42I mean, I just get a bad feeling about this, Colin.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46I didn't have a bad feeling until you described it as such!
0:26:46 > 0:26:51- Oh!- I was on a maybe 30-50, 40-60 range for that.- Oh, really?
0:26:51 > 0:26:55Yeah, I was, but I must admit now I'm half-tempted to halve it!
0:26:55 > 0:26:59Well, you can't change your mind. It's in the catalogue. 40-60 is your estimate.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02- Yes.- Well, they paid £60.
0:27:02 > 0:27:07- Now, the Charlotte Rhead mug. There's a lot of this about, isn't there?- There is a lot.
0:27:07 > 0:27:12And it hit the market about five years ago and just made some massive amounts of money,
0:27:12 > 0:27:18but now it's back to good old ranges of sort of 40-60 for pieces like that.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22Yes, it's the dull colouring, I think. That's what gets me.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25- It's always so boring. - Well, it is for the mass of it,
0:27:25 > 0:27:29but once you get on to the big charges with the bright colours in it,
0:27:29 > 0:27:30they can still command high prices.
0:27:30 > 0:27:35- Our team paid £48.- OK. - In my view, they're got three pretty average objects
0:27:35 > 0:27:38and they're going to need their bonus buy, so lets go and have a look at it.
0:27:39 > 0:27:46Now, Sandy and Judy, this is exciting! What has Paul Laidlaw spent your £142 on?
0:27:46 > 0:27:48- Paul?- Behold!
0:27:49 > 0:27:51- Oh! A box.- It is a box.
0:27:52 > 0:27:57- Any ideas what that could be? - It's a crystal wireless.
0:27:57 > 0:28:03Most excellent. That's exactly what it is and a crystal receiver is a wireless receiver.
0:28:03 > 0:28:08This is how most people listened to the radio in the early years,
0:28:08 > 0:28:10and this dates to the mid-1920s.
0:28:10 > 0:28:18It is the British Thomson-Houston bijoux crystal receiver of about 1925. How appropriate...
0:28:18 > 0:28:24BBC...licence was paid on the technology, on the set.
0:28:24 > 0:28:29I adore these. They are not furnishing pieces. You're not buying this to stick it on the sideboard.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32This is for the hardcore collector. They are out there.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36Online auctions, you'll pay £170 for that.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40- Get away! Will you, really? - Seriously, these are coveted pieces.
0:28:40 > 0:28:47- In the real world, I think it wants to be worth 50-100 any day of the week...- Yeah.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49You had £142, right?
0:28:49 > 0:28:55- I did.- What did you pay? - I spent £50 on that.- OK.- I think that should be good to go.
0:28:55 > 0:29:00But we are in the hands of a good auction firm who has marketed this far and wide,
0:29:00 > 0:29:06exploiting the internet, I daresay. So the world knows about this.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10It will make a profit, unless we are extremely unlucky!
0:29:10 > 0:29:16- Touch wood!- OK, girls, you don't decide right now, you decide after the sale of your first three items.
0:29:16 > 0:29:21But for the viewers at home let's find out what the auctioneer makes of Paul's crystal set.
0:29:22 > 0:29:28- OK, Colin, get tuned into this. - Very easily. Very popular things when it comes to sales.
0:29:28 > 0:29:33Quite a strong collectors' market for this type of early radio.
0:29:33 > 0:29:39And obviously you've got military interest in them as well, and I think this will do well in the sale.
0:29:39 > 0:29:44I'm glad to hear you're so confident. I don't have the faintest idea. What's it worth?
0:29:44 > 0:29:46I think that should make £60-80.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50Well, Paul Laidlaw is a cunning Scottish monkey, I have to say!
0:29:50 > 0:29:57It's his bonus buy. If you and he can't get this thing whooped up and into a profit, I'd be surprised.
0:29:57 > 0:30:01Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:30:01 > 0:30:05Their first item in the Berlin porcelain reticulated plate,
0:30:05 > 0:30:11- which I suppose is out of a great big fruit or dessert service, isn't it?- Absolutely.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15These do come on the market every now and again. I've managed to do a little bit of research,
0:30:15 > 0:30:20and there were 15 of these plates from a service that were sold at auction fairly recently,
0:30:20 > 0:30:23and all 15 made £130.
0:30:23 > 0:30:28- Gosh, that's not much each, then, is it? And we've only got a single one. - Yeah.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32- It's got to be at least £30-50 as a single, I would say.- How much? - £30-50.
0:30:32 > 0:30:38- £90 paid! That's just for it on its jacksie!- Mmm.- Oh, dear, oh, dear!
0:30:38 > 0:30:40This is not a good start.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43How are you on art deco chromium-plated cruets?
0:30:43 > 0:30:47- Pretty good. We sell plenty of them. - Well, there are quite a few around, aren't there?
0:30:47 > 0:30:51- There's a lot of reproductions around as well.- What's that one, though?
0:30:51 > 0:30:55I think that's all right. It's got the registration mark on the bottom.
0:30:55 > 0:31:01There's a level of, I hate to say it, but rusting around it which does show it's got some age about it...
0:31:01 > 0:31:05- Which is nice.- Yeah, it is. - OK, how much is it worth?
0:31:05 > 0:31:09- Well, I would have thought on that you're looking at £10-30. - That's fine.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11£15 paid, so we're slap in the middle.
0:31:11 > 0:31:17- What about Nellie elephant here? - Mmm.- Is she any good? - She's OK, but not good.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20When I first saw it, I thought it was probably a little bit more exciting,
0:31:20 > 0:31:26I was hoping it was going to be Japanese, maybe late-19th early-20th century, possibly marked,
0:31:26 > 0:31:29- and worth quite a few hundred pounds. - Not very well cast, is it?
0:31:29 > 0:31:34- It's not quite there, it just misses the mark, doesn't it? - She's not packing much of a trunk!
0:31:34 > 0:31:38- What's she worth?- Well, we think £50-80 is going to be her mark.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42£69 paid, which is plenty of money, isn't it?
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Which means I think this team is going to be in trouble,
0:31:44 > 0:31:48and they're going to need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:31:49 > 0:31:53Now, Brian and Dudley, you're determined to beat your wives into submission.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57- We certainly are.- And this is the moment that you're going to find out
0:31:57 > 0:32:02- what Jeremy has spent your £126 leftover lolly on. So, J... - Well, Tim,
0:32:02 > 0:32:06I thought I want to buy something that reminds these two gentlemen
0:32:06 > 0:32:09of the big competition with their wives,
0:32:09 > 0:32:12so I bought... a marriage cup and saucer.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15- OK.- This is French. - A marriage cup and saucer?- Yeah.
0:32:15 > 0:32:20What it is is a French faience which is a tin-glazed earthenware cup
0:32:20 > 0:32:24which was given on the moment of marriage in the ceremony,
0:32:24 > 0:32:28and it just a very quaint little thing.
0:32:28 > 0:32:32And these usually stayed in the family, they're not usually around.
0:32:32 > 0:32:37- So why would it be for sale?- Well, obviously there's been a divorce!
0:32:37 > 0:32:41- It's quite chipped, so presumably they...- And you paid?
0:32:41 > 0:32:44- 45.- OK, right, yes.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48I think we could double up on that if it's a good day and the internet sees it.
0:32:48 > 0:32:54- Well, I think we need a good profit from you after some of the things we bought.- You bought!- Thank you!
0:32:54 > 0:32:56No need to be snarky, boys!
0:32:56 > 0:33:01Anyway, hang on to your expert's advice, because now, for you viewers at home,
0:33:01 > 0:33:05what the auctioneer thinks about Jeremy's cup and saucer.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08There we go. One lump or two?
0:33:08 > 0:33:14- Definitely two lumps in this case, but very pretty lumps, I would say. - Aren't they nice?
0:33:14 > 0:33:18- A bit of faience, isn't it? - Yes, it is, French faience.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20The factory is Mussier,
0:33:20 > 0:33:24and the value on something like this, well, it's going to be a little bit of guesswork, to be honest,
0:33:24 > 0:33:26because so little of it comes on the market.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30Comparables... going to struggle to find them.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34So I suppose this is good old-fashioned auctioneering estimation
0:33:34 > 0:33:36of plucking a figure from midair.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39Which is the particular pluck you have in mind?
0:33:39 > 0:33:43- Well, I'm going to go for 100-150. - That's just marvellous.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45£45 paid by Jeremy.
0:33:45 > 0:33:52I mean, if your numbers, plucked from the air, are true he's going to double his money on this,
0:33:52 > 0:33:57if the team decide to go with it. All will be revealed in a moment.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07- So, Sandy and Judy, how are you feeling?- Good.- Excited.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10- Feeling strong?- Oh, very. - Are you going to biff your old men?
0:34:10 > 0:34:16- Yeah.- Certainly are!- I wouldn't like to be your husbands today, I tell you! I'd be quaking.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19We shall see, won't we? All this brave talk.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21First up is the epergne and here it comes.
0:34:21 > 0:34:27Lot number 134 is the Edwardian silver-plated trumpet epergne there.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31£50 anybody? 30 will do, then, 30?

0:35:26 > 0:35:2872 do I see? Standing bid at 70.

0:36:14 > 0:36:18All the net buyers are out. At £28 we go this time, £28!
0:36:18 > 0:36:21Sadly that is minus 20, so you are plus 12.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25Which is great, which is a profit, which is folding money to take home.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29- You actually could whap the boys with a £12 profit.- We certainly could.- So what will you do
0:36:29 > 0:36:33- about the bonus buy, risk it? - Definitely.- You sure?- Yes.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36- Definitely?- Yes.- Yes.- I mean, you've got £12 in your pocket.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38We're not going to argue.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40No?
0:36:40 > 0:36:43"We want some more profit!" says Judy. Fine.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47I'm not going to argue with that. We're going with the bonus buy. Here comes the crystal set.

0:37:42 > 0:37:44Well done, Paul. That is perfect.

0:37:51 > 0:37:57- £47...is folding money.- Well done. - Fabulous.- That's really super.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00- Don't talk to your husbands, all right?- No, we don't anyway!
0:38:00 > 0:38:03Why break the habit of a lifetime?
0:38:15 > 0:38:18- So, Brian and Dudley, have you been talking to your wives?- No.- No.
0:38:18 > 0:38:22- You never normally talk to them much.- It's been wonderful, a few hours' peace and quiet!
0:38:22 > 0:38:28- You'll suffer for that! - We will suffer anyway.- There will be pillow talk, I tell you!
0:38:28 > 0:38:31Anyway, first up, boys, is the Berlin plate and here it comes.

0:40:07 > 0:40:11That's another £4 down the trunk!
0:40:11 > 0:40:14So that means this is minus 52 smackers.
0:40:14 > 0:40:19Minus 52, boys, not looking so pretty. Are we going down the marriage cup route
0:40:19 > 0:40:22or are we just going to ring-fence 52?

0:40:26 > 0:40:29- Yeah?- Who dares wins!

0:41:29 > 0:41:32We're selling then on the net at £32.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36So minus 65 is the overall score.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38The big thing is don't tell the missus, neither of them!
0:41:47 > 0:41:50Well, teams, is it a question of happy families today?

0:41:58 > 0:42:01You were determined you were going to beat the girls and vice versa.
0:42:01 > 0:42:05How you can be happily married couples, I don't know!
0:42:05 > 0:42:10- I felt the seething between you. - It's friendly competition. - Friendly competition!
0:42:10 > 0:42:13- Anyway, any communication between you?- No!
0:42:13 > 0:42:16None at all. Well, I'm glad to hear that.

0:42:28 > 0:42:32- We've won by losing.- By losing £65.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35- But we hope you've had a nice time. - We have.
0:42:35 > 0:42:39Believe it or not, your girls are going to go home with £47.
0:42:39 > 0:42:44They are going home with folding money, which is really good, isn't it? And did you enjoy it?
0:42:44 > 0:42:47- Very much.- It's been a lovely experience, I hope.- Good fun.
0:42:47 > 0:42:53Good fun. And you will be kind and gentle to your husbands on the way home, won't you?
0:42:53 > 0:42:55You won't just be beastly to them?
0:42:55 > 0:42:57I expect we will be.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00- Anyway, join us soon for some more Bargain Hunting, yes?- Yes!
