0:00:01 > 0:00:05Today's show is from Aintree in Liverpool.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07But unlike the Grand National,
0:00:07 > 0:00:10Bargain Hunt is a two-horse race where nobody loses.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13So let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:00:35 > 0:00:38It's a real gallop to spend £300 on bargains.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Let's hope they don't fall at the first fence!
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Who'll be the first past the post?
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Will our teams be Gold Cup winners
0:00:46 > 0:00:47or just old nags?
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Really! Who writes this stuff?
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Today's teams seem to be in fine fettle.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04This is one of the easiest shops I've had for a very long time.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06We're rattling our way through.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08So we've got an easy ride, now.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10We have loads of time.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13But which team will end up in the winner's enclosure?
0:01:13 > 0:01:1485, now?
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Go on!
0:01:23 > 0:01:28So for the reds we have husband and wife Darren and Andrea. Good morning.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31- Good morning.- Morning.- Nice to see you. How did you two meet?
0:01:31 > 0:01:35We first met each other in a bakery school.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37We were there for three years.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41From there, we won a scholarship to work in Switzerland.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44We didn't get on very well at bakery school!
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- Why didn't you get on?- She couldn't see the attraction in me!
0:01:47 > 0:01:49She kept missing it!
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Off you went to Switzerland to do your thingamajig.
0:01:54 > 0:01:59We used to have to take the pastry onto the Orient Express.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04- You worked on the Orient Express? - We only took on the pastries. - And then we got off!
0:02:04 > 0:02:09But the highlight was at 4.00am pushing the noisy bakery trolley
0:02:09 > 0:02:12down the platform, and all the bedroom lights would come on.
0:02:12 > 0:02:18You'd get on and exchange a few pastries with the barman for free drinks. Have a cocktail.
0:02:18 > 0:02:24Then we'd go back down the platform and all the lights would go on again! I liked that!
0:02:24 > 0:02:27You're a couple of sadists, when it comes to that.
0:02:27 > 0:02:32- Darren, you're a great art collector.- Yes.- Tell us about that.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35We've been collecting art since we've been married, over 20 years.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Your collection changes and evolves.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42Our home looks like the Royal Academy summer show!
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- Is it mainly paintings you go for? - Pictures, yes.- Art, art.
0:02:46 > 0:02:53We started with watercolours and we've evolved into oil on canvasses,
0:02:53 > 0:02:55looking for the up-and-coming artist.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58What's your strategy for victory today?
0:02:58 > 0:03:05We just hope to buy some things that people want to buy at the auction, hopefully at a good price.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Itching to get going. Raring to go.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12Oh, dear, oh, dear. What is going to happen today?
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Are you scared, you blues?
0:03:14 > 0:03:19- No, we're excited.- Mother and daughter, Caroline and Joyce.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21- Welcome.- Hi, Tim.- Hi. - Nice to see you.
0:03:21 > 0:03:28Caroline, music is both a passion and a professional gambit for you. Tell us about that.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32I recently released an album which I recorded myself.
0:03:32 > 0:03:38And working with young people, teaching them to play instruments who don't normally have access.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40I must say, I do love your get-up!
0:03:40 > 0:03:44- You've got fantastic trousers. - I'm a bit of a hippy!
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Do you model yourself, your music, on anybody in particular?
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Marianne Faithfull reincarnated?
0:03:50 > 0:03:56No, but it's all '70s songwriters. Carole King, people like this.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Anybody, really.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Joyce, you're retired now but you're a former glamour model.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05What?! One day, one day!
0:04:05 > 0:04:09- A one-day glamour model? - It wasn't a glamour model.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14It was somebody who was doing a photography competition.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18My friend's husband was in the club and he asked me to sit for him.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Which I did. I thought, "That's OK".
0:04:20 > 0:04:25But when I got there, there were about 20 men and I had to sit on a stage and pose!
0:04:25 > 0:04:29- With my clothes on. - Not with your kit off?
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- It was just for a facial... - Not one of those artistic ones?
0:04:32 > 0:04:34No!
0:04:34 > 0:04:39- You're both convinced you're going to make enormous profits.- We are!
0:04:39 > 0:04:43Why are you so confident that you'll do so brilliantly?
0:04:43 > 0:04:46If you're positive and confident, it usually works out.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50If you think, "I don't know what'll happen..." So that's our strategy.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53I think we've got two incredibly positive teams today.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54Sparks may fly!
0:04:54 > 0:04:56£300 apiece. You know the rules.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00Your experts await. Off you go and very, very good luck.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04Gosh! Whatever's going to happen next?
0:05:05 > 0:05:09Under starter's orders with the blues is Henry Meadows.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13Morning, ladies. Glad you're here. What are your names?
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- I'm Caroline.- Caroline. - Joyce.- Joyce.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17- Looking forward to today?- I am.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- Shall we go bargain hunting? - Yes. Let's go!
0:05:22 > 0:05:26And chomping at the bit for the reds is Jonathan Pratt.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28- Hello!- Hiya!
0:05:28 > 0:05:32- Right, here we are. Aintree. Ready to go?- Yeah, definitely.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Let's get inside. Come on.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37And they're off!
0:05:39 > 0:05:41What are you going for today?
0:05:41 > 0:05:43- Pictures?- I'd like to look at that.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Something to make lots of money.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Let's go this way!
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Shout if you see anything that catches your eye.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55How about the decanter?
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Wow, straight in there, Henry!
0:05:58 > 0:06:04- It's a striking looking piece. - Lovely.- Not only glass collectors but private individuals as well.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07It's got a nice contemporary look about it.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- Shall we have a closer look?- Yes.
0:06:10 > 0:06:11Careful.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- VENDOR:- Careful, it's a very heavy stopper.- Original stopper.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18- What about the condition? - No damage.- No damage.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- VENDOR:- I can't see any.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24It's etched with Blenko, which is the name of the company,
0:06:24 > 0:06:26and Philip Myers on the bottom.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- Is it signed on the base?- Yes.
0:06:29 > 0:06:34- Can you do a better price?- I can't go much below. This is a trade price. £45,
0:06:34 > 0:06:39- and that is a bargain.- I personally think it's got a nice look about it.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43£45. It's not a big risk and it could well make a profit.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- I like that.- Shall we buy it?
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- Yes.- Shall we do the deal, then? - Yes.- Let's go for it.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53That's great. So that's one down. Let's carry on.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Cor, that was fast!
0:06:56 > 0:06:59But hang on a minute. The reds are right behind you.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- Look at that one!- Which one are you pointing to?- This one.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- At the back?- Hmm.- Yes.
0:07:07 > 0:07:12- Bill Tidy, is it?- Bill Tidy. A good Liverpudlian.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14What can you tell me about the picture?
0:07:14 > 0:07:21Nothing except it was a cartoon that was published in the papers as part of his regular work.
0:07:21 > 0:07:26Presumably he did this as a one-off for some friends
0:07:26 > 0:07:29as it's personally dedicated by him.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33He's personally dedicated it to someone. Might that hold it back?
0:07:33 > 0:07:37Obviously it would be better if it wasn't.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41It's the same as a silver salver, if it's engraved, it detracts from it.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43But it's a really good image. It's him, isn't it?
0:07:43 > 0:07:47If you know Bill Tidy and how he draws, this is it.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50He's a good name, a good local celebrity.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- Would you put this on the wall at home?- I probably wouldn't.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Just because of other things that we've got.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00But if I had a blank room, I'd put that in and build things around it.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03And change your names to Joy and Peter!
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Yeah! This really makes you smile, that's the important thing.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10I love the sentiment at the bottom. Dare we ask how much it is?
0:08:10 > 0:08:13It's £100 I've got on the base.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18Interestingly on the back is his first attempt at it.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20That's his first rough draft of it.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24- Could we ask... Is that your very best, is it?- 70.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28- What do you think?- As a first buy, I think that's nice. What do you think, Andrea?
0:08:28 > 0:08:32- I like it, yeah. I do.- I think I'd like to go with that.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- OK, that's a deal, then. Number one done.- Thank you very much indeed.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Well, I never did!
0:08:40 > 0:08:45Both teams have splashed some cash in the first five minutes! Good work.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50What have we got here? We've got, um...
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- Coffee bean spoons.- Do you know what EPNS stands for?- No.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57Electroplated nickel silver. So they're basically silver plate.
0:08:57 > 0:08:591930s, that sort of period.
0:08:59 > 0:09:06What's known as coffee bean spoons because of the distinctive terminals.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09We've got the original case, which is nice.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13They have a nice look, and I think there's a market for that at auction.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- How much are they?- £15.- £15.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21If we talk nicely to the stallholder and talk him down to £10,
0:09:21 > 0:09:24we'd stand a good chance of making a profit.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Will you take £10 for them?
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- Yeah, I could do that for ten.- Yes?
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- Good man. Thank you.- Thank you. That's very good.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34We've done well, there.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36So let's do the deal, then.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Can't say fairer than a tenner, Caroline!
0:09:39 > 0:09:42That's two down for the blues already.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44They haven't spent much, though.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51- That's a big jug.- I like this one. - That's Italian majolica.
0:09:51 > 0:09:56- The big jug.- It's 45. Probably late 19th-century, I'd have thought.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00- £45.- Can we have a look at it? - Sure. Help yourself.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04- I quite like that.- It makes a statement, doesn't it?
0:10:04 > 0:10:09Late 19th-century. Very typical. A pottery with a coloured glaze
0:10:09 > 0:10:11over the top. Faience, as we call it.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13European.
0:10:13 > 0:10:18It's in the manner of the Italian style or something. What's on the bottom?
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- Nothing.- Nothing on the bottom? - Nothing at all.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25- What would your very best be? - I'll do 40 on it.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- Is that your very best? - That's the absolute definite, yeah.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31What do you have in this way at home?
0:10:31 > 0:10:37- I know Darren's filled the house with pictures!- We've got some pots, but nothing this size.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40The nice thing with this is you can use it.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44- It's quite a statement piece. - What would you use it for?
0:10:44 > 0:10:48- The corner of the room. - Flowers, or twigs or something.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- Peacock feathers or pampas! - Interior design.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54The other thing, I don't know who it's by. He doesn't know.
0:10:54 > 0:10:59Someone might recognise it, go to the internet, and they might say that's so and so.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Before you know it, you've got £100 out of it.
0:11:02 > 0:11:07- Yeah, I think it's...- And it's not expensive. You're not going to lose...
0:11:07 > 0:11:10If you lost ten or £15, it would be disappointing.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12- We'll go for that.- I agree with you.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15I'm happy. I like the fact that you just find things,
0:11:15 > 0:11:19talk about it, like it and then say, "We'll go for it."
0:11:19 > 0:11:22I could just go and have a coffee, actually!
0:11:22 > 0:11:26- We'll all go for a coffee! - You're doing well and I approve.
0:11:26 > 0:11:27OK. Let's go for it.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Both teams are at full speed.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36A bit smash and grab, though, buying the first things they see.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40This is one of the easiest shops I've had for a very long time!
0:11:40 > 0:11:42We're rattling our way through.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44We've got an easy ride now.
0:11:44 > 0:11:45You have loads of time.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49You're finding what you like - well, you are!
0:11:49 > 0:11:53- Negotiate hard and get them down. That's the key.- Oh, yes.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- It's my turn next. - It's your turn next.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Come on, let's have a look. Head over here.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01I need to put blinkers on this man!
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Well, just look at these things.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11I fancy they've got a bit of a story to tell.
0:12:11 > 0:12:16What we've got is a pair of bird feather pictures.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20Now, just think about the skill package involved
0:12:20 > 0:12:22in making one of these.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26You've got an arrangement of feathers here
0:12:26 > 0:12:30which has come from a live bird
0:12:30 > 0:12:34and been arranged probably by a taxidermist.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38It is, ornithologically-speaking,
0:12:38 > 0:12:42as good a representation as you're going to find.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45This one represents a quail.
0:12:45 > 0:12:50Now, I know it's a quail because it says "quail" underneath!
0:12:50 > 0:12:53And I know this is a meadow lark
0:12:53 > 0:12:56cos it says "meadow lark" underneath.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00But do either of these birds come from Great Britain?
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Answer? "No."
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Where do they come from?
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Indigenously from North America.
0:13:08 > 0:13:13So probably both of these bird pictures
0:13:13 > 0:13:16were produced in the United States
0:13:16 > 0:13:22and I would date them to around, I don't know, 1870, 1880.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26They're a bit tatty, particularly with regard to the frames.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29But if they could tell their story,
0:13:29 > 0:13:32how they came across from North America,
0:13:32 > 0:13:37how they happened to be sitting here just north of Liverpool today,
0:13:37 > 0:13:40well, it would be fascinating to know.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42How much?
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Well, 500 to 800 dollars?
0:13:45 > 0:13:47And what would they cost you here?
0:13:48 > 0:13:50£120.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Now, there's a flutter for you!
0:13:53 > 0:13:57So, two items each. But they're looking a bit too chilled for my liking.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Don't they realise there's a time limit on this malarkey?
0:14:00 > 0:14:03That's a charming clock there.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- VENDOR:- It's a Jaeger movement, a nice quality movement.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- 350.- 350.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11And your very best for cash?
0:14:13 > 0:14:15What have you found there?
0:14:15 > 0:14:17It's a pewter bowl.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20A pewter bowl. Let's see. ..Ooh! I got an electric shock from it!
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- It's an electric bowl! - It's the pewter.
0:14:23 > 0:14:28Yikes! Maybe the price is just as shocking!
0:14:28 > 0:14:29£120.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32For a pewter dish.
0:14:32 > 0:14:37I think, personally, that's worth 60 to £80. That sort of price.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Let's leave it. We've got plenty of time.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Carry on?
0:14:41 > 0:14:45Plenty of time? Far too laid-back! This place is vast
0:14:45 > 0:14:47and there's so much to see!
0:14:48 > 0:14:52- You'd get a few cornflakes in there! - You would!
0:14:52 > 0:14:55I'm not sure how commercial that would be.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Shall we go on to the next stall?
0:14:57 > 0:15:02- What are they for? - Ice cream or prawn cocktails.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06- Do you like the old mincer?- I was looking at it. Caroline told me off!
0:15:06 > 0:15:09No, all right.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Your husband has found something else!
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Are you sure we can only buy three?
0:15:16 > 0:15:19With the amount of time we've got, we could buy a dozen things.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Don't give them ideas, Jonathan!
0:15:22 > 0:15:23May I ask how much this is?
0:15:23 > 0:15:2515.
0:15:25 > 0:15:261-5?
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Is that the very best, 15?
0:15:28 > 0:15:31I like that. "Is that your very best?"
0:15:31 > 0:15:34We've bought two things in about 13 minutes,
0:15:34 > 0:15:36so can you hold it for us for about 20 minutes?
0:15:36 > 0:15:40- Yeah?- Thank you. - Thank you. You're very kind.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44You're making this game look too easy, reds.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48There is absolutely no pressure whatsoever.
0:15:48 > 0:15:53I don't need the pressure to make you do anything because you'll do it anyway! Let's go.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56I think you're right. Let's hide his glasses!
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Just be careful, Jonathan.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Keep the pressure on.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Now, how far behind are those blues?
0:16:06 > 0:16:08- How are you feeling, Joyce? - I'm getting panicky.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12We got the first two so quickly. Now we can't find anything.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16A confident start. What have we seen so far that's caught your eye?
0:16:16 > 0:16:21I like the glass decanter we've bought.
0:16:21 > 0:16:26- That's really... I'd like something more...- We've bought that. We need a third item.
0:16:26 > 0:16:31- Have you seen anything?- Not really anything that's grabbed me.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35- We'd better get our skates on. - Yeah. Let's find something.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41We started in that corner. You could wander down here.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43- Yes.- Have a look.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47I can't see anything grabbing me at the moment.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50- No.- Caroline, have you spotted something?
0:16:50 > 0:16:52No!
0:16:54 > 0:16:56That's quite fun.
0:16:56 > 0:17:01I've seen a little bit of the... They've got the pair in the vase.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04I love it!
0:17:04 > 0:17:07I can tell what he likes cos he looks immediately at something else!
0:17:07 > 0:17:12- Yeah.- He completely ignored me! - Did I? I'm sorry.- You carry on!
0:17:12 > 0:17:17- So you want to buy a higher value piece, do you?- Yes.- If we can.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Let's push the boat out.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24- What about that piece of glass? - No, I don't like that.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- You don't like it? - Well, I do and I don't.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30- The colours are a bit... - Ask him who it's by.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Do you know who this one's by?
0:17:33 > 0:17:35It's French. I bought it in Normandy
0:17:35 > 0:17:41and the dealer's French, lives in Dunkirk and it's from a factory south of Dunkirk.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- He said it's about 1930's, '40s. - Right.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47What would your very best be?
0:17:47 > 0:17:48- What have I got on it?- 45.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52- I'll do you 40.- 40.- Straight 40.
0:17:52 > 0:17:53You didn't like this, did you?
0:17:53 > 0:17:57It's grown on me. I know he's very controlling.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59That's interesting.
0:17:59 > 0:18:04What's going on here, Jonathan? Take control yourself, man!
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- That mirror's nice, isn't it? - Is the mirror old?
0:18:07 > 0:18:11- Is it a modern piece, or...- I'd say probably post Second World War.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Probably late '40s, early '50s, something like that.
0:18:15 > 0:18:20- It's nice, though.- It's got a bevelled edge, which is nice.
0:18:20 > 0:18:25- The peach glass is always quite Art Deco.- It's very nice.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Is the stall-holder about?
0:18:27 > 0:18:29- I'm quite interested in this. - What's this?
0:18:29 > 0:18:32- I think it's pressed glass. - Yes, moulded glass.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Does he care what we think?
0:18:35 > 0:18:39What can you tell us about the mirror here?
0:18:39 > 0:18:43- It's 1928.- That's earlier than I initially thought.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47No, it's come out of somebody's house that we knew.
0:18:47 > 0:18:52- Right.- That's how we know. It was given as a wedding present.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- which is really nice. - What sort of money is it?
0:18:55 > 0:18:56- 220.- 220.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00Might need a moment of reflection here, girls!
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Let's stop picking things up now.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04There's about ten minutes to go.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08- Shall we just step over here and take five?- OK, yeah.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Don't forget your back-up plan, reds!
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Time's ticking away. Only a few minutes left.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18- Rather than shop now, which we've kind of done...- Yeah.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- A decision.- I say we go with the bowl.- You like the bowl?- I do.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28- Yeah. Yeah.- Yeah? - That's the decision, yeah.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- That's your final answer?- See if we can ask him to go a bit cheaper.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Walk over there and see what you can do.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36- Great!- That mirror's nice!
0:19:36 > 0:19:41Oh, Darren, I thought you'd made a decision!
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Do you like that? He's found something he really likes now!
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Hang on a minute - am I seeing double here?
0:19:53 > 0:19:56We've got to make a profit. Can you go down a little bit?
0:19:56 > 0:19:58200?
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Um... What do they say?
0:20:03 > 0:20:04Lower?
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Lower?
0:20:06 > 0:20:08190?
0:20:08 > 0:20:13- How about 195?- Personally I think we may well struggle at auction.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16But it's nice. It might stand a chance.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- What do you think? - I think it's lovely. I like it.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- I'd spend... I'd buy it. - Well, there you go.
0:20:22 > 0:20:27- I think it's something that's desirable to a lot of people.- Sure.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Do you want to do a deal?
0:20:29 > 0:20:32- It's very unusual. - A bit lower maybe?
0:20:32 > 0:20:36Well, I'll do it for 190 for you.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39That'll give you a bit of an edge. I hope you do well with it.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41- Is that OK?- Thank you very much.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Thank you.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Shock horror! The blues are done.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Any chance of a final decision here, reds?
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- It's a new piece of glass.- Yeah.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55It's stylish, it's good for the mantel.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59My decision on this one would be, to be honest with you...
0:20:59 > 0:21:01- The bowl.- No, I'd go for that. - Would you?- Yeah.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Why do you say that?
0:21:03 > 0:21:08Because I'd like the bowl to be Murano or something like that,
0:21:08 > 0:21:10and this is a strong design.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13A strong design makes people part with money.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- That's good enough for me.- You stopped and said, "I like that."
0:21:16 > 0:21:20- We did.- If only it had a bit more pizzazz.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23What's your very best on this one?
0:21:23 > 0:21:28- What have I got on it? 42. 35, then. - Would you do it for 30?
0:21:28 > 0:21:31- I can't do it for that. 35 is the best, sorry.- 32?
0:21:31 > 0:21:33I can't, sorry.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Quickly! Make your minds up!
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- I think we'll go for that. Do you? - Yeah.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- Agreed.- Definitely.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43- Shake the man's hand quickly.- 35.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Thank you very much indeed.
0:21:46 > 0:21:47Thank you very much.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Well done. There we go. Let's get outta here!
0:21:50 > 0:21:53- Well done.- Lunch!
0:21:54 > 0:21:57And they've crossed the finish line!
0:21:57 > 0:22:01Will it be a steward's inquiry? Will it be a photo finish?
0:22:01 > 0:22:05Let's remind ourselves what the red team bought.
0:22:05 > 0:22:10First for the reds was a drawing by local lad Bill Tidy for £70.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Let's hope it draws crowds at the auction!
0:22:13 > 0:22:17At £40, the continental jug was a very quick second find.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19But was it too hasty?
0:22:19 > 0:22:23And right at the last minute, Darren struck again
0:22:23 > 0:22:25with the Art Deco mirror for £35.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- How much did you spend?- £145.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33I'd like £155 of leftover lolly.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Quite enough to buy half the fair. Got any ideas?
0:22:36 > 0:22:38No!
0:22:38 > 0:22:43- Come on!- He's confused me too much. I don't know. I can top all that.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47He always says he has no ideas then comes up with something wizard.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50- Had a good day?- Fantastic.- So far. - Really enjoyed it.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52The best bit is to come in the auction.
0:22:52 > 0:22:53Very good luck.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the blue team bought, eh?
0:22:59 > 0:23:05The blues' first buy was a glass decanter by Joel Philip Myers.
0:23:06 > 0:23:11Quickly followed by a set of coffee bean spoons bought for a tenner.
0:23:13 > 0:23:20And finally, a 1930s moulded mirror caught their attention for a whopping £190!
0:23:21 > 0:23:24- How much did you spend all round? - 245.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27245. Can I have £55 of leftover lolly?
0:23:27 > 0:23:29From Mum. Well done.
0:23:29 > 0:23:3355 smackers. That's enough to go and make a dent!
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Thanks very much. I appreciate that. I know what I'm going to buy.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40- Tease us with a hint.- No. - Ceramics?- It's a surprise.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42A surprise. You're so good, Henry.
0:23:42 > 0:23:47Very good luck, girls. Meanwhile, we're heading off not very far.
0:23:47 > 0:23:52A couple of miles down the road into the middle of Liverpool to the Walker Art Gallery.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53Ooh, ah!
0:24:00 > 0:24:06Liverpool has no less than seven absolutely fabulous top-drawer museums
0:24:06 > 0:24:09each of which has its own story to tell.
0:24:12 > 0:24:17This one owes its existence to a rather clever brewer
0:24:17 > 0:24:19who wanted to add respectability to his trade
0:24:19 > 0:24:21by lending his name to the arts.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Within 20 years of its opening,
0:24:25 > 0:24:30the Walker Art Gallery had become one of the most important outside London.
0:24:30 > 0:24:38The Liverpudlian industrialists just loved endowing their local gallery.
0:24:38 > 0:24:43They were, in fact, showing their credentials in terms of taste.
0:24:43 > 0:24:48And there's no more tasteful painting, I fancy,
0:24:48 > 0:24:51than this to show in your gallery.
0:24:51 > 0:24:58Frederic Lord Leighton, no less, was commissioned to paint this specifically for this gallery
0:24:58 > 0:25:01by an industrialist called Kurtz.
0:25:01 > 0:25:07Kurtz wanted the very, very best of art to come here
0:25:07 > 0:25:10to the gallery - and by golly, he got it.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Elijah in the Wilderness,
0:25:13 > 0:25:17where he had been chased by that beastly Jezebel.
0:25:17 > 0:25:23This is the moment when God has sent down an angel with refreshments.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Here's a thoroughly gorgeous image.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32These delicious bright colours.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35And we've got the dear nymph Echo.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Unfortunately for her,
0:25:37 > 0:25:41she fell in love with this ghastly youth, Narcissus.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Narcissus refused to have her
0:25:44 > 0:25:48and as a result, he was punished by the gods
0:25:48 > 0:25:52who made him fall in love with the reflection of himself
0:25:52 > 0:25:57and every time he tries to touch this beautiful thing he's fallen in love with,
0:25:57 > 0:26:02of course his hand goes into the water and the image disappears.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05'Tis a tragedy!
0:26:05 > 0:26:09But it was not a tragedy for the trustees of this gallery.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13Every year they had an exhibition, a selling exhibition,
0:26:13 > 0:26:17and the works that they sold generated income
0:26:17 > 0:26:21and that income they reinvested in works of art
0:26:21 > 0:26:23to further enhance the collection.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Which is exactly what they did here
0:26:25 > 0:26:27with this picture.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30And by gosh, did they do a good job!
0:26:32 > 0:26:35An additional route for works of art to the Walker Art Gallery,
0:26:35 > 0:26:38of course, was by bequest.
0:26:38 > 0:26:44You decide in your will that you're going to endow the local gallery with your favourite picture
0:26:44 > 0:26:47and hence, here at the Walker,
0:26:47 > 0:26:51they happen to be lucky enough to have John Brett's Stonebreaker.
0:26:51 > 0:26:56Here we have an iconic 1850s picture
0:26:56 > 0:27:02that represents all the very best of the pre-Raphaelite movement.
0:27:02 > 0:27:08Bequeathed by Mrs Jane Barrow in 1918.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Thank goodness she did it.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14Otherwise it could be, who knows, anywhere.
0:27:14 > 0:27:20The big question is, of course, how are our teams going to be getting on today over in the auction.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Are you ready, Bargain Hunters?
0:27:24 > 0:27:26This is my favourite bit!
0:27:29 > 0:27:34We've come about an hour-and-a-half south of Liverpool and Aintree by car
0:27:34 > 0:27:36to the heart of Cheshire, in Nantwich.
0:27:36 > 0:27:43We're in Peter Wilson's excellent sale room to be with our hero and leader today, Robert Stones.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- You're too kind, Tim!- The red team, Darren and Andrea,
0:27:46 > 0:27:48have gone with this cartoon.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52Do you know this artist, Bill Tidy?
0:27:52 > 0:27:57He was actually a Cheshire man, so there's a local connection there.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Essentially, he was an amazing chap.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04He had an MBE, he was a cartoon strip writer,
0:28:04 > 0:28:06he did stuff for Private Eye.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10He was a broadcaster, radio and TV.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12A very, very talented man.
0:28:12 > 0:28:18That is quite a big piece of work by him, but I'm sure a lot of people would be delighted to have
0:28:18 > 0:28:21- this man's work hanging on their wall.- What's it worth?
0:28:21 > 0:28:25- 80 to 120.- They paid 70, so that's a smart move, isn't it?- Good.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29Next item, which I think is absolutely divine,
0:28:29 > 0:28:35is this faience, or majolica, or tin glaze, call it what you like.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38- This tin glaze jug.- Yes.
0:28:38 > 0:28:42I do like the decoration on it. I don't think it's that old, though.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45- I don't know how you feel, but to me...- '30s?
0:28:45 > 0:28:52- Yeah.- 1930s?- That's it. It's not something that's 19th-century or earlier.- How much?
0:28:52 > 0:28:53- 20 to 40.- Is that all?
0:28:53 > 0:28:57- £40 they paid. - They might be all right.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01What about this Art Deco spelter menu frame?
0:29:01 > 0:29:06These things are quite popular. I have to say I took the precaution
0:29:06 > 0:29:11of taking it apart, just to check whether these are spelter or bronze.
0:29:11 > 0:29:17They are, sadly, spelter. That cheapens it a bit, but it's decorative.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20Nice bit of marble it stands on. I think 50 to 100.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22- £35 paid.- Well done.
0:29:22 > 0:29:28- So what they might lose on the big jug, they'll make up on the Deco stand.- Let's hope so.
0:29:28 > 0:29:33If it all turns awry, we can go with the bonus buy. Here it comes.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36Darren and Andrea.
0:29:36 > 0:29:41You spent 145. You gave the man £155. What did he buy? Jonathan?
0:29:44 > 0:29:46- Wow.- That's a nice box!
0:29:48 > 0:29:52A little gold, diamond and sapphire
0:29:52 > 0:29:55and a little seed pearl, possibly a cultured pearl,
0:29:55 > 0:29:58stick pin in the form of a golf club.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01Lovely. That's lovely.
0:30:01 > 0:30:06- Is it the original box?- The box is dated on the top, 8 Dec, '38,
0:30:06 > 0:30:09the right date for it. It fits beautifully.
0:30:09 > 0:30:14- I'd say the original box. - How much?- How much? I paid £60.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18- Right.- You said, "Ooh, that's a bargain."
0:30:18 > 0:30:21There you go. Have a look.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24What do you think that will fetch, then?
0:30:24 > 0:30:26I like to think it's worth £100 on a good day.
0:30:26 > 0:30:31- Is there a hallmark?- Nothing on it. - Lovely box. I really like it. A pin in a box.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33OK, we'll just have the box, then.
0:30:33 > 0:30:34We'll split the lot!
0:30:35 > 0:30:36Smashing.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40- You're keen on that?- I like it. - Hold that thought.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44For viewers at home, let's see what the auctioneer thinks of Jonathan's stick pin.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46There you go, Robert.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49- What about that for a bit of... - It's delightful.
0:30:49 > 0:30:54It's not hallmarked gold, but I'm absolutely confident it is.
0:30:54 > 0:31:00- A charming thing in a little box. What could be nicer? - Clever Jonathan.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02- What's the estimate?- 60 to 100.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05- £60 he paid.- Good buy.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07The team have to decide to go with it.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11If they go with it, I'm sure they'll make a substantial profit.
0:31:11 > 0:31:16Brilliant. Anyway, that's it for the reds. Now for the blues.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19You've got this stylish decanter
0:31:19 > 0:31:22that's said to be by Joel Philip Myers.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25Yes. Scandinavian glass designer.
0:31:25 > 0:31:30I know some people might find this hard to believe,
0:31:30 > 0:31:33but I really rate this Scandinavian glass. It's very collectable.
0:31:33 > 0:31:37Made in the '70s. He was a real hero
0:31:37 > 0:31:40in glass terms for making and designing.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44- I think that's a really good thing. - What's it worth, then, Robert?
0:31:44 > 0:31:47- We put 20 to £30 on it. - After all that build-up?
0:31:47 > 0:31:50- How much did they pay for it?- £45. - Did they?
0:31:50 > 0:31:52I hope they get out of trouble with it. It's good.
0:31:52 > 0:31:58Next, I'm not so sure about these. Silver-plated bean end coffee spoons.
0:31:58 > 0:32:04These are everywhere. If I had a pound for every box of these that I'd seen,
0:32:04 > 0:32:07- it would be a lot of money! - What have you put on them?
0:32:07 > 0:32:12- Ten to £15.- £5 is what they paid so they'll be happy with that.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15Moving on, their last item is the Art Deco mirror.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19Yes. 1930s, maybe, something like that.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Frameless mirrors don't make a lot of money.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25But that bit of amber glass at the top, the bevelled edge,
0:32:25 > 0:32:32that bit of engraving, the nice splashing wave effect on it, will help its cause.
0:32:32 > 0:32:38- I don't think it's such a bad thing, really.- Oh, good. What's your most optimistic estimate?
0:32:38 > 0:32:40- We've said about 20 to £40 on that. - How much?!
0:32:40 > 0:32:45- 20 to 40.- Is that what you said? - Yes.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48- Is that good enough? - No! £190 they paid!
0:32:48 > 0:32:51- What?!- That's what I mean!
0:32:53 > 0:32:55£190. Have we got the right mirror?
0:32:55 > 0:32:59Yes, it's the right mirror. I can tell you it's the right mirror!
0:32:59 > 0:33:01- 190. Is that a fact?- Yeah!
0:33:01 > 0:33:03- £190.- I'm not happy!
0:33:03 > 0:33:08I'm not happy at 20 to £40. There is no question about them needing their bonus buy.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Let's have a look at it.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15- Cor, this is exciting, isn't it? - Yes.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17You gave Henry £55. Henry, what did you spend it on?
0:33:17 > 0:33:20What do you think to this?
0:33:20 > 0:33:21Very nice, yes.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25It's an Arts & Crafts copper dish. Dates to about 1900.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28It's got hammered decoration, called planishing.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30What do you think I paid for it?
0:33:30 > 0:33:33- Ooh, I don't know.- £30?
0:33:33 > 0:33:35I paid 15 quid.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37- Wow.- That's good.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39Have a look. See what you think.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Yeah, it's nice, isn't it?
0:33:41 > 0:33:47It's the sort of thing collectors are after. Unfortunately it's not signed.
0:33:47 > 0:33:51But it's a lovely decoration and a good interesting piece.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53It's really rustic, isn't it?
0:33:53 > 0:33:56- It's got a good quality. - Nice charm to it.
0:33:56 > 0:34:00- Does it sing to you, Caroline? - It does. It's singing to me, yeah.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03Anyway, hold on to that thought
0:34:03 > 0:34:07while we find out from the auctioneer, for viewers at home,
0:34:07 > 0:34:10what he thinks about Henry's dish.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14A nice little bit of Arts & Crafts for you.
0:34:14 > 0:34:18It is, essentially, hand-made. We can tell it's hand-made
0:34:18 > 0:34:22by all that chasing and hammering that's going on.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25That is something really going in its favour.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27- So how much?- We said 20 to 40 on that.
0:34:27 > 0:34:33- Perfect. Our Henry went for that at £15.- Yes. Good stuff.
0:34:33 > 0:34:38- If the team decide to go with it. - I hope so.- That will be their challenge. Thank you.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40Thanks, Tim.
0:34:44 > 0:34:49- Darren, Andrea. How are you feeling? - Excited.- Are you?- And nervous.
0:34:49 > 0:34:53- You're not that confident, then? - I don't know. I'm just worried!
0:34:53 > 0:34:58Your first item coming up is the Tidy sketch. Here it comes.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01What may we say for it? Super thing. £70 bid straightaway.

0:36:02 > 0:36:04- 60 now? 60. 65?- Yes.
0:36:04 > 0:36:0565, yes?
0:36:05 > 0:36:0965. I cannot wait much longer.
0:36:09 > 0:36:10At £60.
0:36:10 > 0:36:11Sold.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15£60. I'm pleased at that. £60. That's plus 20.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18Now, we want this mirror stand to do well.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21£100. I've got several bids on this. £100 to start it.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24£100 I'm bid. At £100. And ten is there now?

0:36:28 > 0:36:30At 100 only. At £100. And ten anywhere?
0:36:30 > 0:36:34Several competing bids on this. That's why I'm starting at 100.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36At £100 only, then.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39Are we all done at 100 only? It will be sold then at 100.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41- All quiet.- Look at that!
0:36:41 > 0:36:45Plus £65! Darren, you should give up baking!
0:36:45 > 0:36:48- Try taking up antiques. - Don't tell the boss!
0:36:48 > 0:36:51That is very, very handy, isn't it?
0:36:51 > 0:36:54- Three profits. That's special. - Let's go for the gavel.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57- Golden gavel.- The golden gavel. There's a thought.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00- You have to wait your turn. - Does it exist?
0:37:00 > 0:37:03It does. Five, ten. That's ten.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05Seven, nine, ten.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07Does that make £100 profit?
0:37:07 > 0:37:10It is. It's a round ton!
0:37:10 > 0:37:12- I'm going to cry. - That's quite something.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16- Go on, cry. Cry for the television! - Does it make good TV?
0:37:16 > 0:37:20Seriously, that's pretty good. Plus 100.

0:37:24 > 0:37:27- Go for it.- You're going for it. It's a risky thing.

0:38:11 > 0:38:13Very good service. Fantastic.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15Listen, don't say a word to the blues.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18- Hush-hush.- Calm.- Mum's the word.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20Off to the 19th hole!
0:38:27 > 0:38:29I'll just run through your items.
0:38:29 > 0:38:34Your Joel Philip Myers decanter, everybody loves that.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37He's only put 20 to £30 on it. £40 is what you paid.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40I think you should make a small profit. It's delightful.
0:38:40 > 0:38:45- The plated coffee bean spoons he's put 10 to £15 on. - That's about right.
0:38:45 > 0:38:51But the big dark hole that's opening up is the Deco mirror. £190 paid for that.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54- He's put 20 to 40 on it. - Oh, my goodness!
0:38:54 > 0:39:00- Only 20 to 40. That is a painful prospect.- Oh, my God. How embarrassing!
0:39:00 > 0:39:03Anyway. Here it comes, the decanter. Let's get going.
0:39:03 > 0:39:10The wonderful decanter by Philip Myers. What may we say?
0:39:10 > 0:39:12I've got £40 bid for it straightaway.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15The bid's here at £40. 45 is there now?

0:39:26 > 0:39:28At £40. Being sold at £40.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30You're only £5 off. £40 is OK.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33Better than his estimate. £40 is minus five.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35Here comes the beans.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38Who'll give me £5 for these? Five anywhere? Five bid.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41At £5. Five. Eight. Ten.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43- 12. At £12 your bid.- Small profit.

0:39:46 > 0:39:49- 15.- You're in profit.- 15. 18?

0:39:54 > 0:39:59£15. That's plus £5. You have no profit, no losses.
0:39:59 > 0:40:03You're absolutely square until we come to the mirror!
0:40:03 > 0:40:06A 1930s circular mirror. Several bids on this.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09I start the bidding at £40. 40 I'm bid. 45 is it now?
0:40:09 > 0:40:11£40 I'm bid. At 40 and five?
0:40:11 > 0:40:13At £40 I'm bid. At 40. Five anywhere?
0:40:13 > 0:40:16At £40 only. The bid's with me at £40. 45 anywhere?
0:40:16 > 0:40:19At £40 only. And five quickly?
0:40:19 > 0:40:22- At £40 it's going to be sold. - There's going to be bad feeling!
0:40:22 > 0:40:24At £40. 45 anywhere?
0:40:24 > 0:40:26At £40 only, then. At 40.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30I thought it was only broken mirrors that brought bad luck!
0:40:30 > 0:40:34£150 down.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37- Going with the bonus buy, yes? - We are, definitely.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40Let's hope that it's by Pearson and is a hidden treasure
0:40:40 > 0:40:42that makes £150 profit. Here it is.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45Copper plaque. Hand-made.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47Arts & Crafts design. What may we say for it?
0:40:47 > 0:40:52How much is there for it? Ten to start it off. At £10 only and ten?
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Yes, £10 bid straightaway. 12 is it now?
0:40:55 > 0:40:58At ten. 12. 15. 18. 20. It's a nice thing.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01- 22 bid there. 22. 25 anywhere? - It's still cheap.
0:41:01 > 0:41:0422 bid there. 25, fresh bidder. 28.

0:41:05 > 0:41:0732? At 30.

0:41:09 > 0:41:13At £30, then. All quiet at £30. Being sold at 30.
0:41:13 > 0:41:17Yes! Well done, Henry. You've doubled your money.
0:41:17 > 0:41:22Plus £15 on that which takes you to minus 135. That's not too bad(!)
0:41:22 > 0:41:27- Don't say anything to the reds. - We won't.- Don't spoil their day!
0:41:32 > 0:41:36Well, well, well. What fun we've had today. Been chatting?
0:41:36 > 0:41:39- No.- No.- It's lovely
0:41:39 > 0:41:42when each of the experts make a profit on their bonus buys.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44Congratulations, lads.
0:41:44 > 0:41:50But there is a world of difference between 'em score-wise.
0:41:50 > 0:41:55The victors today are the reds with plus £130.
0:41:55 > 0:42:00How can one team make £130-worth of profit,
0:42:00 > 0:42:04and the other team make £135 of losses? Anyway, there we are.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08If the mirror only hadn't bombed, you would have stood a good chance.
0:42:08 > 0:42:09But it let you down.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13- I'm really sorry about that. Let's not dwell on it.- No.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15- The answer is, don't go for Art Deco mirrors.- No.
0:42:15 > 0:42:19- I hope you had a nice time. - Great time.- Did you enjoy it?- Yes.
0:42:19 > 0:42:25Loved having you on the show. But now I'm going to hand out £130. Look at this!
0:42:25 > 0:42:27- Good, isn't it?- Smashing.
0:42:27 > 0:42:32I can't remember the last time a team made a profit on each item and the bonus buy!
0:42:32 > 0:42:34It's unbelievable!
0:42:34 > 0:42:38As a result, you get one of these vaunted golden gavels.
0:42:38 > 0:42:45- Except we haven't got any more golden gavels. So we give out pins to go on your bosoms.- OK.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48- Andrea, there's one for your bosom. - Thank you very much.
0:42:48 > 0:42:53- There's one for your bosom, and JP, there's one for your bosom. - Thank you.
0:42:53 > 0:42:58That's good going. You can walk up your high street and wear that with pride!
0:42:58 > 0:43:03- And explain to everybody that you made a profit on all your lots on Bargain Hunt.- Yay!
0:43:03 > 0:43:04- How about that?- Brilliant.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07It's a topping day and I congratulate you.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10Join us soon for some more bargain hunting. Yes?
0:43:10 > 0:43:12Yes!
