The sun's out, the dealers are ready.

0:00:040:00:06

The antiques await the Blue and Red teams. So, shall we get on with it?

0:00:060:00:12

Let's go bargain hunting! Yeah.

0:00:120:00:15

What better way of spending an hour

0:00:420:00:45

than wandering through The Royal Cornwall Showground

0:00:450:00:49

here in Wadebridge, figuring out how to spend £300 on three items to take away and sell at auction?

0:00:490:00:56

Let's meet today's lucky contestants.

0:00:560:01:00

For the Reds we have friends, Pippa and Jane.

0:01:000:01:04

Someone is worried...

0:01:040:01:06

I'm concerned that we're going to lose the plot here.

0:01:060:01:10

And for the Blues, it's Andy and Rob, who are all at sea.

0:01:120:01:17

I see a bargain.

0:01:170:01:19

-Now listen, Pippa, you're no strangers to the competitive situation, are you?

-No, we're not.

0:01:210:01:26

We both run Plymstock and District Equestrian Club with some friends.

0:01:260:01:31

I'm the chairlady, and Jane is the secretary, and we run three horse shows a year.

0:01:310:01:37

-Do you?

-And we have quite a few horses between us as well.

0:01:370:01:40

So would you say that you two are incredibly horsey then?

0:01:400:01:43

-Yes. Very.

-Very much.

-Oh, that's lovely.

0:01:430:01:45

Your horses, tell me about those. Have you got any prize winners?

0:01:450:01:49

Oh, I have, yes. I've got three horses and I have an ex-racehorse,

0:01:490:01:54

and I'm fortunate to say that he did well when he was younger,

0:01:540:01:57

and I share his back with a famous bottom in the shape of AP McCoy.

0:01:570:02:01

-Do you really?

-Yes.

0:02:010:02:03

Do you fit into the mould all right, or does he fit into your mould? How does it work out?

0:02:030:02:07

Maybe I might need to just budge him up a little bit.

0:02:070:02:10

-Well, that's quite something.

-Yes.

0:02:100:02:12

And what's he called? Carter.

0:02:120:02:15

Carter. Love it.

0:02:150:02:16

That's sweet, isn't it?

0:02:160:02:18

Now, Jane, are you just as crazy about horses as Pippa?

0:02:180:02:21

Absolutely. I've got three,

0:02:210:02:23

and I've got two beautiful Labradors as well,

0:02:230:02:26

but I'm not so keen on the riding now.

0:02:260:02:29

Too old. So I'm more ground control.

0:02:290:02:30

-Oh, don't give me that, girl.

-No. Too old now.

0:02:300:02:33

-Too old, that's ridiculous.

-Too old, so I'm chief poo-picker of the yard.

0:02:330:02:37

-Are you?

-Yeah. Definitely.

0:02:370:02:39

Oh, that sounds like the business. So who rides your horses then?

0:02:390:02:43

-My daughter.

-Oh, does she?

-Yes. I support her.

0:02:430:02:47

-You've become the unpaid groom.

-Absolutely.

0:02:470:02:49

So apart from horses and dogs, do you collect anything? Husbands or anything like that?

0:02:490:02:54

Still married to the same one, love him to bits - but, yes, I do,

0:02:540:02:57

I collect Royal Doulton ladies.

0:02:570:03:00

My favourite is called Amy, which is after my daughter,

0:03:000:03:04

-and Moonlight Roses by Royal Albert.

-Right.

0:03:040:03:08

You've got business acumen, you've got a shared sporting pedigree...

0:03:080:03:12

These boys are looking really scared.

0:03:120:03:14

-Anyway, very good luck.

-Thank you.

0:03:140:03:16

Now, academics Andy and Rob, welcome.

0:03:160:03:18

-Are you quaking in your boots?

-Absolutely.

-Shivering in our boots, yeah.

0:03:180:03:23

Andy, what are you studying? Anything useful for us?

0:03:230:03:26

I'm doing a PhD at the University of Plymouth at the moment, studying microfossils

0:03:260:03:30

at the end of the cretaceous when the dinosaurs died off.

0:03:300:03:33

-Oh, right.

-It may help you to recreate past climates and past oceans.

0:03:330:03:38

Not very applicable to Bargain Hunt though.

0:03:380:03:40

-Well, I don't know, we get one or two dinosaurs on this programme.

-Yeah.

0:03:400:03:43

We're not talking about the presenter, either(!)

0:03:430:03:46

You've got a touch of wanderlust about you, yes?

0:03:460:03:49

Yeah, I've been to over 40 countries so far.

0:03:490:03:52

My highlight in recent years was taking the train to Hong Kong on the Trans-Mongolian Express.

0:03:520:03:56

That was good fun. And I'd really like to

0:03:560:04:00

do up an old Land Rover and drive across North Africa. That's something I'd like to do.

0:04:000:04:04

-Are you going to be competitive?

-Absolutely. I've got a history of being in team sports.

0:04:040:04:09

I'm currently the president of the University of Plymouth Lacrosse Club, and I've always played team sports

0:04:090:04:14

so I'm quite competitive and focused.

0:04:140:04:16

And what are you going to bring to the partnership, Rob?

0:04:160:04:19

-Probably a long-standing history of watching Bargain Hunt.

-Oh, right.

0:04:190:04:23

And every antiques show under the sun on TV, really.

0:04:230:04:25

Unfortunately again, my PhD isn't really applicable.

0:04:250:04:28

I study mountain building, in particular in the Polish Carpathian mountains.

0:04:280:04:33

-Arcuate fold-thrust systems...

-That's right, yes.

0:04:330:04:35

-That's what you're studying at the moment.

-It is indeed.

0:04:350:04:38

You have an interest in old books.

0:04:380:04:40

I do, yes. I've always been brought up around books, and my parents always encouraged us to read

0:04:400:04:45

from a very young age, and I've got a few...

0:04:450:04:47

not quite antiques, sort of 80, 90-year-old books, encyclopaedias

0:04:470:04:51

and things... Yeah, I just love the smell and the feel of books,

0:04:510:04:55

-and I'd love to own an antique book store one day, that would be a great way to live.

-Perfect.

0:04:550:04:59

Well, here we go then, chaps. Now we come to the money moment.

0:04:590:05:02

The money moment, your £300 apiece, there you go.

0:05:020:05:05

You know the rules - your experts wait, and off you go! And very, very, very good luck.

0:05:050:05:10

Well, isn't that lovely - beauty and brains. Whatever next?

0:05:100:05:14

So, let's meet our experts.

0:05:140:05:18

Philip Serrell will be guiding the Reds.

0:05:180:05:21

Henry Meadows is in charge of the Blues.

0:05:220:05:27

They're on the clock. Let battle commence.

0:05:270:05:29

-Right, girls, have you got a plan?

-Oh, big plan.

0:05:290:05:32

-Oh, Lord help us.

-We're going to follow what you say.

0:05:320:05:34

-What are you looking for today?

-Something quirky...

-Anything that'll make a profit.

0:05:340:05:38

I can see a bargain.

0:05:410:05:43

Which way are we going? In that way?

0:05:430:05:45

-"Just like that..."

-Hey, I wear the hats round here, Tommy!

0:05:450:05:49

-Let's go in and have a look.

-Hassle, hassle...

-See what we can get.

0:05:490:05:53

It's a little snuff box.

0:06:000:06:02

-How much is that one?

-85. It's got a bit...

0:06:020:06:05

I think that's really, really nice, but I think that damage there is just going to hold you back.

0:06:050:06:10

-Some surfboards, Rob.

-Well, there's three there, that would be perfect.

0:06:110:06:15

This one's signed by Jimi Hendrix, look.

0:06:150:06:17

Seems the eagle-eyed Reds are in good spirits.

0:06:170:06:21

Take a look at what they spotted.

0:06:210:06:23

What are we going to be looking for with this?

0:06:230:06:26

Condition of the glass.

0:06:260:06:27

Good girl. So what in particular?

0:06:270:06:30

-There's no chips, and that the stoppers...

-She's on fire!

0:06:300:06:34

-She is.

-Smokin'!

0:06:340:06:35

OK. So, why is it called a tantalus?

0:06:350:06:38

-Because you can't get the glasses out without unlocking it.

-So it...

0:06:380:06:41

-It keeps the sherry...

-Tantalises you.

0:06:410:06:43

Whatever's in there tantalises you.

0:06:430:06:46

-Did you buy her a book for Christmas?

-No. I watch it a lot.

-Do you?

0:06:460:06:50

Why is this tantalus different?

0:06:500:06:52

Because it's only two, and there should be three.

0:06:520:06:55

I think I'm going to pack up and go home early. You're on your own, I'm off!

0:06:550:06:59

I just make up the duo.

0:06:590:07:01

I told you, you're my favourite expert.

0:07:030:07:06

I feel totally superfluous to this.

0:07:060:07:08

I've no point, there's no point in me being here.

0:07:080:07:11

I've driven miles to come to this and this is how I get treated.

0:07:110:07:14

-Philip, shall we just go for a coffee?

-Yeah.

0:07:140:07:16

Leave her to it.

0:07:160:07:18

Don't get on your high horse, Philip, just because Pippa knows her stuff. I'm impressed.

0:07:180:07:24

-What's that?

-It's an old blowtorch, isn't it?

0:07:240:07:26

Made in Sweden.

0:07:260:07:28

They are the absolute kiss of death to try and sell.

0:07:280:07:33

So you are kissing that goodbye, then.

0:07:330:07:36

-See anything, Rob?

-Not yet, mate.

-Not yet.

0:07:360:07:40

Keep looking, Blues. Meanwhile, the Reds are getting tantalisingly tempted by the glassware.

0:07:400:07:46

This is 1900, 1910-ish.

0:07:460:07:49

Whether these are the original decanters, there is one bit of a clue, actually. Come on.

0:07:490:07:53

-Tell us.

-That they fit inside.

0:07:530:07:56

-Yes. But another reason?

-The pattern on the bottom.

-Yes.

0:07:560:07:59

-I

-really like this.

-I do as well.

0:07:590:08:01

You just be quiet for a minute if that's all right!

0:08:010:08:04

-Yes. You won't shut her up.

-Really?

-No.

-All the time?

0:08:040:08:06

-Honestly.

-A little rattle, rattle.

-That's why I'm the quiet one.

0:08:060:08:10

Yeah. What I like about it as well, look, is that that just nicely slides forward

0:08:100:08:14

and there's a locking device in there and then that's what stops you getting it out.

0:08:140:08:19

What do you think it will make at auction?

0:08:190:08:21

I would have said 120, but I don't know if that's too much.

0:08:210:08:26

I think you're spot-on with your value.

0:08:260:08:28

If that came into my sale room, I'd estimate it at one to 150, but I do think it's a nice thing.

0:08:280:08:32

-I like that.

-And it's sherry and...

-Whisky.

0:08:320:08:35

-Whisky.

-Whisky, which is two drinks that a husband and wife might drink.

0:08:350:08:39

Does she make this up? She's off again, isn't she?

0:08:390:08:41

Where does all this come from?

0:08:410:08:45

-Really?

-I don't know.

0:08:450:08:47

-What do you reckon, girls?

-Let's see how much it is.

-Yeah.

0:08:470:08:50

-140.

-140.

-136?

0:08:500:08:52

-Why not 135?

-I like 136 better.

0:08:520:08:55

No, no, no, because I can't be doing with coinage. I cannot do coinage.

0:08:550:08:59

All right. 135. Go on. Go on.

0:08:590:09:01

-Go on. Go on.

-Please.

-Go on, then.

0:09:010:09:03

We're going to sell a tantalus and whoever buys it has got

0:09:030:09:07

the bonus buy, two silver spirit labels,

0:09:070:09:10

and they've got to be worth 35 quid which puts this in at £100. So...

0:09:100:09:15

Bargain.

0:09:150:09:16

Yeah. Oh, I hate you.

0:09:160:09:18

That's what it's called. Bargain Hunt.

0:09:180:09:20

-We're good at this.

-Don't count your chickens just yet, Jane,

0:09:200:09:24

it looks like the Blues also feel there may be richer pickings inside.

0:09:240:09:30

It's too expensive, it's £240.

0:09:310:09:33

OK. It's £240, we'll put that back.

0:09:330:09:37

That was gopping. Sorry.

0:09:370:09:39

-But it's children's ware.

-Gopping. I like that.

0:09:390:09:42

-Do you like that?

-For those who aren't familiar with

0:09:420:09:44

the word gopping, apparently it means nasty or horrible.

0:09:440:09:48

This is First World War period.

0:09:510:09:52

It's what's known as a 1914-15 star.

0:09:520:09:56

-OK.

-It would have been issued for soldiers serving during the outbreak of the First World War

0:09:560:10:01

and would come with a British war and a victory medal.

0:10:010:10:04

Now, on the reverse, what's nice about these is from a researcher's point of view

0:10:040:10:08

you can always see who the recipient is.

0:10:080:10:11

For example, this one

0:10:110:10:13

we've got FARCPL.

0:10:130:10:15

I'm fairly sure that's a farrier corporal. So that's quite nice.

0:10:150:10:19

-The only thing that's not nice about it...

-Price.

-It's £80.

0:10:190:10:22

-And it's a broken one.

-Yeah.

0:10:220:10:25

So good history lesson, but...

0:10:250:10:27

-Not for us.

-Yeah.

-Thank you.

0:10:270:10:29

-I like that little matchbox.

-That's sweet, isn't it?

0:10:320:10:36

-That's nice. I like that.

-Yeah. Is it the original matchbox that's inside?

0:10:360:10:39

It's hallmarked in Chester.

0:10:390:10:41

-Yes, it is.

-I think that's quite sweet.

0:10:410:10:43

-I like that.

-It is sweet.

0:10:430:10:45

-If you look at this, the lion passant is a lion looking sideways.

-Right.

0:10:450:10:50

-That's called a lion passant.

-Right.

0:10:500:10:52

-That's the mark for silver.

-Right.

0:10:520:10:54

That letter at the end, which is an A,

0:10:540:10:56

or I think it's an A, in a shield... So it's a letter of the alphabet

0:10:560:11:00

in a different shield, that gives us the year.

0:11:000:11:02

-Yeah.

-In this case, it's 1901.

0:11:020:11:04

And in the middle, you've got three wheat sheaves.

0:11:040:11:06

-That's the assay office.

-Right.

-Which is Chester.

-Yeah.

0:11:060:11:09

OK. So this is English silver, assayed in Chester in 1901 and there's the maker's mark there.

0:11:090:11:15

Now...

0:11:150:11:17

-I like that.

-Well, you'd better find out what you can do.

0:11:170:11:20

This time, let's keep her out of it.

0:11:200:11:22

-She won't keep quiet.

-No, she will.

-You do it. You do it.

0:11:220:11:25

All right. Go.

0:11:250:11:27

What would your best price be on that one?

0:11:270:11:29

I can do 30.

0:11:290:11:31

-Would you do 28?

-OK.

-Thank you.

0:11:310:11:34

28.

0:11:340:11:36

-Super deluxe. I love it.

-Thank you very, very much.

0:11:360:11:39

-Thank you.

-So that's two items down, Reds. Well done.

0:11:390:11:44

-Any makers' marks on it or anything like that?

-No.

0:11:460:11:48

Not that I can see. £60 as well.

0:11:480:11:50

Whilst rejecting a compass,

0:11:500:11:52

the Blues can now redirect their interest

0:11:520:11:56

towards a rather resplendent officer's hat.

0:11:560:11:58

-It's what they call a bicorn hat because of the shape of it.

-Sure.

0:11:580:12:03

And it's made by GJ Chapman.

0:12:030:12:05

-Of Plymouth.

-Yes. But what's nice about this one from a researcher's point of view

0:12:050:12:10

is we've got a name on here.

0:12:100:12:12

Looks like CH Down, Royal Navy.

0:12:120:12:15

What sort of age do you think that would be?

0:12:150:12:18

Most probably going to be late Victorian, Edwardian.

0:12:180:12:22

-Depends on the price, though.

-How much for the hat?

0:12:220:12:25

It's £145.

0:12:250:12:27

£145.

0:12:270:12:28

OK. What would be your...?

0:12:280:12:30

Yes, it's nice it's got its tin.

0:12:300:12:32

The maximum? The most you'll go?

0:12:320:12:34

We're looking to make a profit.

0:12:340:12:35

Of course you are. 130 would be...

0:12:350:12:38

-Your best offer.

-I can't do it for any less.

0:12:380:12:40

-It would need to come down more though, really.

-Yeah. Yeah.

0:12:400:12:42

-But it's nice to have its tin.

-Would 120 buy it?

0:12:420:12:44

120 and a smile.

0:12:460:12:47

Oh, that makes all the difference.

0:12:470:12:49

-Yes, you can have it for 120.

-120? I like that. I really like that.

0:12:490:12:53

-Just before we say yes, my estimate would be around £100 to £150.

-OK.

0:12:530:12:59

A cheeky ten pounds here or there.

0:12:590:13:01

We've got one under our belt and we're running out of time here.

0:13:010:13:04

-Yes. OK.

-Yes.

-We'll take £120, please.

-OK.

0:13:040:13:08

So the Blues finally have an item in the bag.

0:13:080:13:11

Talking of which,

0:13:110:13:14

what do you think about this?

0:13:140:13:16

Do you like it?

0:13:160:13:18

It's apparently made of hornback alligator skin

0:13:180:13:23

and if you give it a tap like that, absolutely rock hard.

0:13:230:13:29

If you peel back this flap, it actually protects the entrance

0:13:290:13:33

to the handbag bit itself which is quite nice, and the handbag itself is lined with smooth leather inside.

0:13:330:13:40

But on the outside, running all the way down the spine, effectively,

0:13:400:13:45

of this alligator, is this bullet-hard series of scales.

0:13:450:13:50

It gets a little bit softer towards the outer edges but actually, it's like armour plating.

0:13:500:13:56

Now I have to say, it's looking at its worst today

0:13:560:14:01

because it's dusty and dirty. But I promise you, with a bit of TLC,

0:14:010:14:07

this thing will look absolutely splendid.

0:14:070:14:10

What's it worth? Well, the stall holder is after £60.

0:14:100:14:16

What might you get in a smart online retail store?

0:14:160:14:22

Well, look it up on the internet.

0:14:220:14:24

You'll find that the price range is around 2,000 to 3,000. Gosh.

0:14:240:14:29

So there's money to be made out of these leather goods.

0:14:290:14:35

The only thing to note is that this actually isn't alligator at all.

0:14:350:14:39

The mis-identification of alligator and crocodile skins happens all the time,

0:14:390:14:46

but crocodile skin always has a confirmation of four leading into two,

0:14:460:14:51

which is exactly what we have here.

0:14:510:14:53

One, two, three, four blobs, plus two.

0:14:530:14:56

Got it? Got it.

0:14:560:14:58

Rargh!

0:14:580:15:00

Thinking of sending a postcard home, girls?

0:15:020:15:05

Things with streets and stuff are interesting because people can look and say, that was my house.

0:15:050:15:11

Yeah. We should have a look round.

0:15:110:15:13

-And then come back.

-And if we don't see anything else,

0:15:130:15:15

then I think we can come back here and buy 30, 40 quid's worth of cards.

0:15:150:15:19

-Yeah.

-Definitely.

0:15:190:15:21

As ever, time is marching on.

0:15:250:15:27

But what's this? Are our blue boys going to the ball?

0:15:270:15:31

-What do you think of this? Do you like that?

-I quite like this, actually.

0:15:310:15:34

-It's a bit feminine for you, Andy.

-Not for me. Not for me.

-Fair enough.

0:15:340:15:37

-But it's just a bit...

-Is it silver, is it?

0:15:370:15:40

-Yes. They said they'd do it for 100.

-Can you do 90 on it?

-I can do 95.

0:15:400:15:43

That's the absolute best I can do.

0:15:430:15:45

-It's a meltdown piece, really.

-Yeah. OK.

0:15:450:15:47

What about this?

0:15:470:15:51

-You wanted quirky.

-Yeah.

0:15:510:15:53

You're a golfer as well, aren't you?

0:15:530:15:55

So I mean, it's got the novelty charm about it.

0:15:550:15:57

-You've got two markets, silver market and golfing interest.

-Yeah.

0:15:570:16:01

I think that's quite nice, actually.

0:16:010:16:03

It's got hallmarks there.

0:16:030:16:06

Yes. Sheffield hallmark. This date letter here is O and I believe that's from 1942.

0:16:060:16:12

-So it's middle of the war.

-Exactly.

0:16:120:16:14

-Yes.

-It's interesting that they are still making silver pieces in the middle of the war.

0:16:140:16:17

That's what I was thinking. You know, middle of the war...

0:16:170:16:20

-Rations and things and they're still making silver.

-Fascinating.

-Silver spoons.

-£20.

0:16:200:16:24

Room for manoeuvre if we can get it.

0:16:240:16:26

Ten pounds, do you think?

0:16:260:16:27

Well, you'll have to speak to the chap nicely, won't you?

0:16:270:16:30

Ten pounds?

0:16:300:16:32

I can't do ten on it, I can go to 15.

0:16:320:16:34

-Meet you in the middle with 12?

-12 and a half.

-12 and a half.

0:16:340:16:38

12.50. OK. That's a deal.

0:16:380:16:41

So now it's neck and neck.

0:16:420:16:44

Both teams have two items.

0:16:440:16:47

-How much is that?

-95.

0:16:470:16:49

When I started in this business, warming pans were £110 and copper kettles were 95 quid,

0:16:490:16:54

-and copper kettles are now a fiver and warming pans are eight quid.

-Yeah.

0:16:540:16:58

-And people don't want to polish things like that.

-No.

0:16:580:17:01

-What about Charlie Chaplin?

-It's horrible.

-OK. Fair enough.

0:17:050:17:09

Oh, my God, a truncheon.

0:17:110:17:12

My dad had a truncheon.

0:17:120:17:14

-He was a prison officer at Wormwood Scrubs.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

0:17:140:17:18

-He locked the Krays away.

-Really?

-Yeah.

0:17:180:17:20

Rog and Ren? No... Rog and Ren?

0:17:200:17:22

-Reg and Ronnie.

-Reg and Ronnie!

0:17:220:17:25

In fact, if I ask my mum, she's probably still got it.

0:17:250:17:28

So, can we sell his instead of buying that one?

0:17:280:17:30

-Come on, girls, this is time, time, time.

-Yes.

0:17:300:17:33

That's right, Phil - you keep them on their toes.

0:17:330:17:35

You have 15 minutes left.

0:17:350:17:38

This bowl, I think, is beautiful.

0:17:380:17:40

-Really beautiful.

-Excuse me, how much is the Kosta bowl?

0:17:400:17:43

Well, there's 75 on it.

0:17:430:17:46

-OK.

-I'd take 50.

0:17:460:17:48

OK. There's no age, but I do really like it.

0:17:480:17:51

That's the thing, I think, when you're looking at glassware

0:17:510:17:55

like this, you know,

0:17:550:17:56

-it's got to appeal to, I think, a private buyer.

-Sure.

0:17:560:17:59

At £50, I'm not sure if you'll make a profit,

0:17:590:18:01

but it's got a nice look to it,

0:18:010:18:03

-and we need a couple of people like you in the saleroom.

-Absolutely.

0:18:030:18:07

And we're going to make...

0:18:070:18:09

I've got my item with the admiral's hat. It's your item.

0:18:090:18:15

How much would you estimate it at?

0:18:150:18:18

Personally, I would put 30 to 50, 40 to 60 on it.

0:18:180:18:21

-OK.

-So we're not a million miles out, really.

0:18:210:18:24

Would you take 40 for it?

0:18:240:18:26

-Yes. OK.

-OK.

0:18:260:18:27

I think at £40 it's a fair deal for the stall holder and for us as well.

0:18:270:18:33

That's a good discount!

0:18:330:18:34

Well done, Blues, that's all three items purchased.

0:18:340:18:40

Now then, Reds, you two need to get your skates on.

0:18:400:18:43

-What do you think?

-Gopping.

0:18:450:18:49

I'm concerned that we're going to lose the plot here.

0:18:490:18:52

Oh, stop moaning, Phil!

0:18:520:18:54

Where have they gone now?

0:18:560:18:58

I'm having a panic.

0:19:010:19:02

-What is it?

-No.

0:19:050:19:08

-Gopping.

-That's the word of the day!

0:19:080:19:11

-What's that?

-Is that a whisky...?

0:19:140:19:17

Yeah. This is a model of a curling stone.

0:19:170:19:19

All curling stones were made from granite that comes off Ailsa Craig,

0:19:190:19:23

which is just off Turnberry Golf Course.

0:19:230:19:25

It's that rock mountain thing.

0:19:250:19:27

-Right.

-People do collect this stuff.

0:19:270:19:30

Peter Thomson (Perth).

0:19:310:19:34

Gleneagles Scotch Whisky. So it's a little tot of whisky.

0:19:340:19:37

There would have been whisky in it?

0:19:370:19:39

Yeah. And it's not hugely valuable, to say the least,

0:19:390:19:41

but, you know, we've got two minutes left...

0:19:410:19:44

-Yeah.

-..it's six quid, if you can get that for two or £3,

0:19:440:19:47

if they give it away, you've only lost three quid,

0:19:470:19:50

which in Bargain Hunt terms is something of a result, isn't it?

0:19:500:19:53

-Yeah.

-Gopping? I think it's gopping, you think it's gopping.

0:19:530:19:56

I think it's gopping.

0:19:560:19:57

You think it's gopping. But it's two quid's worth of gopping.

0:19:570:20:00

A man could go out on the moors with that in his pocket

0:20:000:20:02

and it would keep him warm.

0:20:020:20:03

She has a ferocious imagination, hasn't she?

0:20:030:20:06

For £3. Right, let's go and get it sorted.

0:20:060:20:08

Go, girl! Talk them down!

0:20:080:20:11

It's bargains we want on this show.

0:20:110:20:13

-Is she always like this?

-Like a terrier.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

0:20:130:20:16

-I've managed to get it for £4.

-You bought it?

-Yes.

0:20:160:20:18

I think that's a bit of a result, really, isn't it?

0:20:180:20:21

-Yes.

-It's definitely not deluxe, and it's gopping.

-But it's got a purpose.

0:20:210:20:24

I'm going to go and lie down in a sheltered, darkened place somewhere!

0:20:240:20:28

-We're done.

-I'm done!

0:20:280:20:30

Oh, poor Phil. He just can't take the pressure.

0:20:300:20:34

Time's up.

0:20:340:20:36

Our teams' time is spent,

0:20:360:20:38

and so is their cash, so let's check out what the Red team bought.

0:20:380:20:44

The girls paid £135 for this Edwardian twin decanter tantalus.

0:20:440:20:51

They forked out £28 for a silver matchbox holder.

0:20:510:20:55

And finally, the princely sum of £4 was paid

0:20:570:21:00

for this miniature whisky decanter.

0:21:000:21:03

So, are you pleased with what you've done?

0:21:030:21:06

-Oh, it's fantastic.

-That thing at the end was a rush!

0:21:060:21:08

Yes, but somebody might buy it.

0:21:080:21:11

So, what is this, then, excuse me?

0:21:110:21:14

-Some kind of mutual admiration society here?

-Yes.

0:21:140:21:17

-Yes.

-This one is like a walking antique encyclopaedia.

0:21:170:21:20

That's lovely, isn't it? And she knows about horses.

0:21:200:21:22

And they are both interested as well, and that's fantastic.

0:21:220:21:25

Well, there you go.

0:21:250:21:26

-Now, you're not feeling left out here, Janie, are you?

-Not at all.

0:21:260:21:29

-Not at all.

-You're obviously getting on otherwise perfectly well.

0:21:290:21:32

Beautifully, you've bonded!

0:21:320:21:35

-How much did you spend all round?

-£167.

0:21:350:21:38

167. 167. So can I have 133, then?

0:21:380:21:43

-Please, from someone?

-That was my job for the day.

0:21:430:21:45

-You're the bag carrier, really, aren't you?

-Yes.

0:21:450:21:48

You had to follow two steps behind her royal highness!

0:21:480:21:50

I had to have a job, because I didn't do much else.

0:21:500:21:53

-I looked after the money.

-And were very decorative.

0:21:530:21:55

-Thank you.

-Thank you very much.

0:21:550:21:57

-Now, boy, there you go, look.

-Thank you.

0:21:570:21:59

-That's quite a lot, isn't it?

-Yes, it is.

0:21:590:22:01

And I've learned a new word today,

0:22:010:22:03

which is "gopping",

0:22:030:22:04

and I'm going to go and try to buy something that isn't gopping.

0:22:040:22:08

Is he with it or is he not with it?

0:22:100:22:12

-He's with it.

-I've been worried about him for some time, actually.

0:22:120:22:15

Anyway, you look after yourselves, girls.

0:22:150:22:17

Good luck, Phil, with your bargain buy.

0:22:170:22:19

Meanwhile, why don't we

0:22:190:22:20

remind ourselves what the Blue team bought, eh?

0:22:200:22:23

A naval officer's bicorn hat was snapped up for 120.

0:22:230:22:30

£12.50 was spent on a hallmark silver golfing spoon.

0:22:300:22:36

And, they bought a Swedish iridescent bowl for £40.

0:22:360:22:42

Three really different items, though...

0:22:420:22:44

-This looks like a crowd of wide boys to me!

-Yeah.

0:22:440:22:47

-Very pleased with yourselves!

-Yeah, we did well. We got some good buys.

0:22:470:22:51

We shall find out how good your buys are later at the auction, I fancy.

0:22:510:22:55

-And how much did you spend overall?

-£172.50.

0:22:550:22:58

-So who's got all this leftover lolly, then?

-I have.

0:22:580:23:00

Have you? About your person.

0:23:000:23:02

-Thank you very much, Andrew.

-This is for you.

-Very good.

0:23:020:23:05

-And some coins.

-And some cash.

0:23:050:23:06

Pretty oddball number, but fair enough, I'll believe you!

0:23:060:23:09

-Here we go, Henry.

-Thanks very much.

0:23:090:23:12

What are you going to spend that on?

0:23:120:23:13

Not too sure at the moment,

0:23:130:23:15

but hopefully something quirky, as we were discussing earlier.

0:23:150:23:19

Very good luck with all of that, boys.

0:23:190:23:21

We're heading off somewhere splendiferous.

0:23:210:23:23

It's Cornish, it's right down the sharp end,

0:23:230:23:25

and it's called St Michael's Mount. Ooh-arr!

0:23:250:23:29

St Michael's Mount, off the south Cornish coast at Marazion,

0:23:340:23:39

has been in the hands of the St Aubyn family since 1647,

0:23:390:23:42

when Colonel St Aubyn became Captain of the Mount.

0:23:420:23:45

Successive generations, all called Sir John, left their mark here.

0:23:450:23:49

The third Sir John was responsible in the 1720s

0:23:490:23:52

for repairing the harbour and revitalising the island.

0:23:520:23:56

During the following century,

0:23:560:23:58

the population swelled to 300,

0:23:580:24:00

thanks to his investment in the place.

0:24:000:24:04

But it's the fourth Sir John that I'm interested in today.

0:24:070:24:11

If you look at this elevation of the building,

0:24:110:24:14

does it not say to you bleak, medieval, former abbey?

0:24:140:24:19

Nothing very comfortable about this.

0:24:190:24:22

But in 1762, our fourth baronet, Sir John,

0:24:220:24:26

went in for something completely different.

0:24:260:24:30

Wow. Look at this.

0:24:380:24:40

Clearly, our Sir John was a bit of a trendsetter,

0:24:400:24:44

because in 1762 he imported into the wastelands of west Cornwall

0:24:440:24:51

the very latest, cutting-edge, Gothic Strawberry Hill style

0:24:510:24:57

into this, his delicious blue drawing room.

0:24:570:25:00

Where does the term Strawberry Hill come from?

0:25:020:25:06

Well, Horace Walpole, who was Sir Robert Walpole's youngest son,

0:25:060:25:11

built a house, Strawberry Hill, in Twickenham, Middlesex.

0:25:110:25:15

He built that house around 1758,

0:25:150:25:18

and the style that he employed was Gothic.

0:25:180:25:22

Not a muscular, churchy or medieval fortified Gothic,

0:25:220:25:28

but a comfortable, mid-18th century interpretation of the Gothic,

0:25:280:25:33

which is exemplified in this room.

0:25:330:25:35

Up above the fireplace,

0:25:350:25:37

you've got a sort of pagoda roof, which is typical.

0:25:370:25:42

And the supports that flank the fireplace

0:25:420:25:45

and support the mantel shelf are Gothic cluster triple columns,

0:25:450:25:50

interposed by a frieze

0:25:500:25:52

with these lovely quatrefoil with a flower head in the middle.

0:25:520:25:57

Then, either side of the fireplace, we've got two recesses,

0:25:570:26:00

capped by the quintessentially, typical Gothic cusped arch.

0:26:000:26:08

This one is fun, though, because it contains a secret door...

0:26:080:26:12

..which leads us into the blue drawing room anteroom,

0:26:140:26:19

all part of the same decorated series of rooms, though,

0:26:190:26:23

with, in my view, an even more Gothic-looking fireplace.

0:26:230:26:29

All this trouble creating and sustaining

0:26:290:26:33

the Gothic decorative effect is reflected also in the furniture.

0:26:330:26:38

A whole suite of furniture, to be precise.

0:26:380:26:41

Made by Thomas Chippendale

0:26:410:26:44

specifically for this Gothic suite of rooms.

0:26:440:26:47

Look at this splat back.

0:26:470:26:49

All these cusped, pierced sections are typical.

0:26:490:26:53

You've then got a pierced section that looks a bit like

0:26:530:26:56

a lancet window, and if I turn up

0:26:560:26:59

the front supports, here we've got a blind fret carving

0:26:590:27:04

that mirrors the lobed pierced back,

0:27:040:27:07

and also at the bottom of the leg

0:27:070:27:09

we've got these very curious carvings

0:27:090:27:13

that look a bit like rocket burners, that go to make up the block feet.

0:27:130:27:18

My all-time favourite spot, though, is this,

0:27:210:27:25

the most charming little Gothic bay window.

0:27:250:27:30

Just look at the way they've cut that plaster

0:27:300:27:34

in a frivolous Rococo way,

0:27:340:27:36

and applied it on the Gothic shape of that cusp.

0:27:360:27:40

And underneath, you've got these oak glazing bars.

0:27:400:27:44

Astragal bars, but in these delightful shapes.

0:27:440:27:49

In short, it's just perfect.

0:27:490:27:52

The big question today is, of course,

0:27:520:27:54

how PANE-ful is it going to be for our teams over at the auction?

0:27:540:27:59

Well, we've popped to Jefferys Auctions in Lostwithiel

0:28:090:28:13

to be with Ian Morris. Good morning, Ian.

0:28:130:28:15

-Morning.

-Lovely to be here.

0:28:150:28:17

The first item is this tantalus.

0:28:170:28:19

Two-bottle tantalus, and it's in brilliant condition, for a change.

0:28:190:28:23

It's a good piece. I like tantalus, myself.

0:28:230:28:26

People recently seem to have gone off decanters generally,

0:28:260:28:30

but I just think it's a lovely object to look at and handle.

0:28:300:28:34

Yes. What's your estimate?

0:28:340:28:36

I've been conservative on this lot.

0:28:360:28:37

I've put an estimate of 70 to £100.

0:28:370:28:39

I think that's just a nice piece for the money.

0:28:390:28:42

Well, they paid 135.

0:28:420:28:44

They'll be disappointed if they don't turn a small profit on it.

0:28:440:28:47

I'm not sure they'll turn a small profit on it, but...

0:28:470:28:50

No pressure here(!)

0:28:500:28:52

I think, yes, they'll not lose too much money, either, on it,

0:28:520:28:56

so I think it's a reasonable buy.

0:28:560:28:58

Second item, this tiny, terribly plain and ordinary

0:28:580:29:02

little vesta cover.

0:29:020:29:03

It is very plain. If it wasn't for the metal price

0:29:030:29:06

being so high at the moment,

0:29:060:29:07

it would be...not a non-starter, but it wouldn't...

0:29:070:29:11

-Be a pound or two.

-It wouldn't create much interest.

0:29:110:29:13

I've estimated it at 10 to £20.

0:29:130:29:16

I suspect on the day it will do that,

0:29:160:29:18

maybe top end, maybe a little bit more,

0:29:180:29:20

-so I think it could still get away.

-Well, £28 is what they paid.

0:29:200:29:23

What about the whisky bottle novelty

0:29:230:29:25

in the form of a curling stone? Like that?

0:29:250:29:27

The curling stone is an unusual item,

0:29:270:29:29

in the fact that we normally have a lot of these little decanters,

0:29:290:29:32

usually in the form of eagles or little small animals.

0:29:320:29:35

Unfortunately, most of them are always empty!

0:29:350:29:38

Bit of a drawback!

0:29:380:29:40

But this one is of a curling stone, which is a little bit different.

0:29:400:29:44

Not normally an individual lot.

0:29:440:29:45

-Because it's too low a value, is it?

-Too low a value.

0:29:450:29:48

We would group it with other like-minded items.

0:29:480:29:51

But in this particular case, five to £8.

0:29:510:29:54

£4, they paid. So that's not too bad.

0:29:540:29:56

The big problem is going to be the tantalus.

0:29:560:29:58

If you are right and you get under £100,

0:29:580:30:01

they are going to be crucified,

0:30:010:30:03

and they are going to need their bonus buy,

0:30:030:30:05

so let's go and have a look at it.

0:30:050:30:07

Now, Pippa and Jane, the bonus-buy moment.

0:30:070:30:11

You gave Philip Serrell £133. Phil, what did you spend it on, please?

0:30:110:30:14

-Well, I spent it on that.

-Oh!

0:30:140:30:18

Is that to keep us in line?!

0:30:180:30:20

Gives you a dap!

0:30:200:30:23

It's a Victorian truncheon.

0:30:230:30:27

And it was £35. I think that's really quite cheap for that.

0:30:270:30:30

Oh, that's good.

0:30:300:30:31

I mean, the painted ones can make well over £100,

0:30:310:30:34

well into three figures,

0:30:340:30:36

and it's sort of quite simplistic, but I think

0:30:360:30:39

at auction... Oh, here we go, neck on the block.

0:30:390:30:43

I think that could make between 40 and £60.

0:30:430:30:47

No, I'll rephrase that - I hope that could make 40 to £60!

0:30:470:30:52

I'll rephrase it for you - "I pray that it will make 40 to £60!"

0:30:520:30:57

Is that the man's name on there?

0:30:570:30:58

I would think it stands every chance of belonging to Sydney Deacon,

0:30:580:31:02

-or whoever it was.

-Well, if not, we could hit you with it!

0:31:020:31:05

By which time it'll be too late -

0:31:050:31:07

-it will be sold to somebody else.

-Aw!

0:31:070:31:09

You've got three jolly good items.

0:31:090:31:12

You are going to sell those and make massive profits.

0:31:120:31:15

-We hope.

-Your decision as to whether you risk

0:31:150:31:18

some of those massive profits

0:31:180:31:20

on this £35 truncheon will happen

0:31:200:31:22

after the sale of the first three items,

0:31:220:31:25

but for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks

0:31:250:31:30

about Phil's truncheon. One truncheon.

0:31:300:31:33

It's always nice to handle something like this, you know,

0:31:330:31:36

that has been worked well, it's lovely and smooth.

0:31:360:31:39

You've got the Victorian cipher on the top.

0:31:390:31:42

It's just a lovely, lovely piece of equipment there,

0:31:420:31:45

and it's just got such a nice feel to it.

0:31:450:31:47

It's a typical Serrell purchase.

0:31:470:31:50

He likes anything made of wood,

0:31:500:31:52

and it is a nice piece of turned elm, isn't it?

0:31:520:31:54

Yes. Mind you, it's still hard enough.

0:31:540:31:56

I wouldn't like to get hit by one.

0:31:560:31:58

No. Quite right too! How much is it worth, do you think?

0:31:580:32:01

I'd put an estimate of 30 to £50 on it.

0:32:010:32:04

Brilliant. Brilliant. £35, Phil paid, so he's paid the right money for it,

0:32:040:32:08

and with any luck, if the team go with it, it'll turn a profit.

0:32:080:32:11

Well, that's it for the Reds, and now for the Blues.

0:32:110:32:14

First up for them is the naval officer's hat,

0:32:140:32:17

and its Japan tin box. That's splendid, isn't it?

0:32:170:32:21

I like it, and the condition of the hat is very, very good for the age.

0:32:210:32:24

It's been kept in that box,

0:32:240:32:25

and it has certainly been well looked after.

0:32:250:32:28

I feel a bit of HMS Pinafore coming on.

0:32:280:32:30

Yes, so long as it doesn't turn into a song, I suppose!

0:32:300:32:33

No need to worry about that on this programme!

0:32:330:32:35

Anyway, how do you rate that, then, money-wise?

0:32:350:32:38

Money-wise, I put a guide of 80 to £120,

0:32:380:32:41

and I think that's a fairly safe bet.

0:32:410:32:43

£120, they paid. Good, traditional piece of naval costume. Brilliant.

0:32:430:32:47

Next item is the golfing spoon.

0:32:470:32:51

Again, you've got a crossover here

0:32:510:32:53

between the person who likes to collect silver

0:32:530:32:56

and the person who likes to collect the golfing memorabilia.

0:32:560:32:59

So I'm hopeful there

0:32:590:33:01

that either one or two styles of collectors would be

0:33:010:33:04

interested in this lot.

0:33:040:33:06

How much?

0:33:060:33:07

Put 20 to £40 on it.

0:33:070:33:09

Very good. £12.50 paid. Now, what about this modern glass bowl?

0:33:090:33:13

-Do you rate that?

-Not really my cup of tea,

0:33:130:33:15

but it's big and heavy, it's got nice colour through it,

0:33:150:33:18

and I put a guide of 40 to £60,

0:33:180:33:20

and I think, yeah, that's the kind of run of it.

0:33:200:33:24

And Kosta Boda is one of those factories, isn't it?

0:33:240:33:27

-It's still going today.

-Yes.

0:33:270:33:29

You can buy Kosta Boda glass today, but it does go back to the '20s.

0:33:290:33:32

Yes.

0:33:320:33:33

Anyway, they paid £40,

0:33:330:33:35

you are estimating 40 to £60, so that's not too bad.

0:33:350:33:38

I suspect it will depend on what happens with the naval officer's hat

0:33:380:33:42

as to whether they need the bonus buy or not,

0:33:420:33:44

but let's go and have a look at it anyway.

0:33:440:33:47

Now, Andy and Rob, you've spent £172.50,

0:33:470:33:50

you gave Henry £127.50.

0:33:500:33:53

Henry, what did you spend it on?

0:33:530:33:55

What do you think to this? Different, isn't it?

0:33:550:33:58

-It's a bit of cow horn, is it?

-I'd say so, yes.

0:33:580:34:00

Late 19th century.

0:34:000:34:02

What's nice about it is it's got white metal on there,

0:34:020:34:06

it's Scottish, probably.

0:34:060:34:07

-OK.

-And I think it's a nice thing.

-You think it's silver or plated?

0:34:070:34:10

I think it's silver. It's not hallmarked,

0:34:100:34:12

so we can't call it silver,

0:34:120:34:14

but I think it's got a nice look about it.

0:34:140:34:16

More important question - how much did you pay for it?

0:34:160:34:19

I paid the princely sum of £20.

0:34:190:34:21

£20. OK. And how much do you think it's going to make?

0:34:210:34:24

We're not going to be able to retire on this,

0:34:240:34:26

but I think we could possibly double our money.

0:34:260:34:29

-Doubling would be good.

-Would be all right.

0:34:290:34:31

-Make up for the losses elsewhere!

-Hopefully not!

-Think positively!

0:34:310:34:34

Well, that's optimistic, Rob, isn't it, eh(?)

0:34:340:34:37

Well, you've got to be realistic these days.

0:34:370:34:40

I think the trouble with you intelligent people is that

0:34:400:34:42

you spend too much time thinking about stuff!

0:34:420:34:44

-Possibly!

-You ordinary mortals don't

0:34:440:34:46

worry about that! Do we, Henry?!

0:34:460:34:48

No, definitely not!

0:34:480:34:50

Think about that.

0:34:500:34:51

Your chance to pick comes after the sale of your first three items.

0:34:510:34:54

But first of all, for the viewers at home,

0:34:540:34:57

let's find out what the auctioneer thinks of Henry's mug.

0:34:570:35:01

So, one horn beaker. That's rather fun, isn't it? Very plain.

0:35:010:35:04

Yes. That's maybe the only drawback with this.

0:35:040:35:08

Horn beakers used to sell, and sell very well.

0:35:080:35:10

The plaque is silver, but it is, as you say, very plain.

0:35:100:35:15

That might just deter buyers

0:35:150:35:17

from being interested in bidding for this lot.

0:35:170:35:20

I'd like to see a hallmark on the plaque,

0:35:200:35:22

because that does at least then date the whole beaker.

0:35:220:35:25

It would, and with a good mark as well,

0:35:250:35:28

-that certainly would have wider appeal.

-Anyway, it's not marked,

0:35:280:35:31

it's incredibly plain - what do you think it would bring?

0:35:310:35:35

I've said 20 to £30.

0:35:350:35:37

Fine. Magic.

0:35:370:35:38

I mean, Henry paid £20 for it.

0:35:380:35:40

It's his bonus buy.

0:35:400:35:42

If the team decide to go with it, everybody will be happy.

0:35:420:35:46

And you only want to make everybody happy!

0:35:460:35:48

Yes. If I can make everybody happy, that would be great!

0:35:480:35:52

So, how are you feeling, girls?

0:36:010:36:02

-Excited.

-Excited. And nervous.

0:36:020:36:04

-How excited, on the excitability scale?

-Ten!

0:36:040:36:07

-11.

-12!

0:36:070:36:09

-He can count!

-You're right up there, aren't you?

0:36:090:36:13

Listen, all the money is on the tantalus.

0:36:130:36:16

It's the first lot of your trio, and here it comes.

0:36:160:36:19

Lot 250 there, Edwardian oak and silver-plated

0:36:190:36:21

twin decanter tantalus there. What say, £80 away?

0:36:210:36:24

£50 away? £30 I'm bid.

0:36:240:36:26

At £30. 35, £40, 45, £50, 55.

0:36:260:36:30

At £55 I'm bid, I'll take 60 now. £60. At £60, I'll take five now.

0:36:300:36:33

-65, £70? £70. 75?

-Come on.

0:36:330:36:37

At £70 I'm bid. Five not. At £70, I'm going to the back, it's £70.

0:36:370:36:41

That's giving it away.

0:36:410:36:43

-£70.

-The two silver labels are worth that much.

0:36:430:36:46

-I know.

-How rude.

-Very, very quick.

0:36:460:36:48

Now, here comes the match case.

0:36:480:36:49

Lot 251 there, a hallmarked silver plain matchbox holder.

0:36:490:36:53

Chester 1901. £20 away? £20 I've got.

0:36:530:36:56

At £20, 22, 25, 28, £30. 32?

0:36:560:37:00

At £30 I'm bid. At £30, I'm selling at £30.

0:37:000:37:04

Plus £2. That's very good.

0:37:040:37:06

Now, the whisky decanter.

0:37:060:37:08

252 there. Miniature curling stone, whisky decanter.

0:37:080:37:12

It's empty, unfortunately. £10 away.

0:37:120:37:14

£5? Five I'm bid.

0:37:140:37:16

At five, at six, at seven? At seven, at eight, at nine?

0:37:160:37:19

At nine, at ten, at 12? £10, the bid's on the books.

0:37:190:37:23

At £10, 11, 12? At £12, still with me.

0:37:230:37:25

At £12, you're done. At £12.

0:37:250:37:28

£12 is plus eight.

0:37:280:37:30

Which means you are minus £55. Minus £55.

0:37:300:37:33

What are you going to do about the truncheon, kids?

0:37:330:37:36

We're going to go for it.

0:37:360:37:37

You're going to go for it.

0:37:370:37:39

I don't blame you going for it. That's very sound.

0:37:390:37:41

I can tell you that his estimate now is 30 to £50.

0:37:410:37:44

Philip paid £35, so you are almost dead cert,

0:37:440:37:47

-according to his estimate, to make a profit.

-Good.

0:37:470:37:50

So let's all cross our legs and look at the truncheon.

0:37:500:37:53

Now, lot 258 there.

0:37:530:37:54

It's a 19th-century elm truncheon decorated with the VR motif.

0:37:540:37:57

£30 away? £20 away? £20 I'm bid.

0:37:570:38:00

At £20, the truncheon. I'll take two to go on.

0:38:000:38:02

-22. 25, 28, 28, £30.

-Come on!

0:38:020:38:05

32? 32, 35?

0:38:050:38:06

32, the bid's in the middle. At £32 I'm bid, five and up.

0:38:060:38:09

-At £32...

-One more!

0:38:090:38:12

At £32, the bid is up front. At £32.

0:38:120:38:15

£32 is minus £3.

0:38:150:38:16

Damn! People with the shout! I hate it when people shout!

0:38:160:38:20

Me too. But you did it anyway. And I did it too.

0:38:200:38:23

-Minus 58. Minus 58 smackers. That's where we are.

-Oh, wow.

0:38:230:38:26

That's extremely disappointing, but the way things are going today,

0:38:260:38:29

that could be a winning score, so don't say a thing to the Blues,

0:38:290:38:32

-all right?

-We won't.

-We won't.

0:38:320:38:34

Now, Andy and Rob, feeling OK?

0:38:480:38:50

-Yeah.

-Confident, yeah.

-You've been quietly confident.

0:38:500:38:53

Well, you can't be bragging about this game, can you,

0:38:530:38:55

because nobody knows what is going to happen in the auction.

0:38:550:38:58

-Have the Reds told you how they got on?

-Not at all.

-No.

0:38:580:39:00

Well, you don't want to know about that, I tell you! OK, fine.

0:39:000:39:03

First lot up is the naval officer's hat, and here it is.

0:39:030:39:06

Lot 274 there. Late Victorian naval officer's bicorn hat there.

0:39:060:39:09

In the original carry case.

0:39:090:39:11

Five bids on this, I'm going to start at £100.

0:39:110:39:13

At £100, the bid is with me.

0:39:130:39:15

I have £100 is the bid, 110 to get on. I have 110, 120, 130...

0:39:150:39:19

I have 130. All my bids are out. It's still at the back at 130.

0:39:190:39:22

140? No? Are we all done?

0:39:220:39:24

Selling at £130.

0:39:240:39:26

-£130. He's plus £10.

-Yes.

0:39:260:39:32

Now, golfing spoon.

0:39:320:39:34

Are we going to get a profit on each lot?

0:39:340:39:36

Lot 275 there. The hallmarked silver golf spoon,

0:39:360:39:38

designed with the long handle.

0:39:380:39:40

Sheffield hallmark, 1931.

0:39:400:39:42

£20 away, can I say? £10 for the silver spoon? Ten I'm bid, at ten.

0:39:420:39:46

At £10, the silver spoon, lot 275.

0:39:460:39:48

At 12, at 14, at 16, at 18.

0:39:480:39:50

-At 18, at 20, at 20, 22, 22, 24, 26?

-It's going to be a hole in one!

0:39:500:39:54

£24 beside me. At £24, this lot, £24.

0:39:540:39:58

-Good result.

-£24.

0:39:580:40:01

That is nearly double your money.

0:40:010:40:02

Look out, here comes the iridescent bowl.

0:40:020:40:04

Lot 276 there.

0:40:040:40:05

Marked glass, heavy circular bowl, incorporating a milk swirl, by Kosta.

0:40:050:40:10

Lot 276. £40 away? £30 away?

0:40:100:40:13

£20 I'm bid. At £20, £20.

0:40:130:40:16

25, £30, 35, 35, £40?

0:40:160:40:17

At £35, the bid is beside me.

0:40:170:40:19

At... 38, £40? £40, 42? At £40.

0:40:190:40:23

The bid is beside me at £40.

0:40:230:40:25

£40, it's wiped its face.

0:40:250:40:27

£40, which means you are plus £21.50.

0:40:270:40:31

-What about the horn beaker?

-I think we're going to go for it.

0:40:310:40:34

-Give it a go.

-Yeah.

-We're going with the bonus buy. That's fair enough.

0:40:340:40:38

Now you've decided,

0:40:380:40:39

I can tell you that the auctioneer's estimate is 20 to £30.

0:40:390:40:42

Henry paid 20, so you've paid

0:40:420:40:43

-the right price, apparently, there, Henry. Well done.

-Thank you.

0:40:430:40:46

Exciting. We're going with it, and here comes Henry's beaker.

0:40:460:40:50

Lot 282 there. It's a 19th-century horn beaker

0:40:500:40:53

with silver shield-shaped monogram, lot 282.

0:40:530:40:56

-£30 away? £20 away? £20 I'm bid.

-Wahey!

0:40:560:40:58

At £20 I'm bid, I'll take two to get on. 22, 24, 26, 28? At £28, 30 now?

0:40:580:41:04

At £28, the bid is with me. At £28.

0:41:040:41:07

-Respectable, isn't it?

-At £28, he says.

0:41:070:41:09

It's plus eight, which means you are plus £29.50.

0:41:090:41:13

-That's pretty good.

-That is a result.

0:41:130:41:16

-It's fantastic.

-Well, it's not going to be much of a meal, but...

0:41:160:41:21

Doesn't look bad at all, £29.50. Anyway, there we go.

0:41:210:41:25

Don't say a word to the Reds,

0:41:250:41:26

because that might be a winning score.

0:41:260:41:29

Sadly, there is a world of difference between our teams today.

0:41:380:41:41

We don't have losers any more, we only have winners and runners-up,

0:41:410:41:45

and the runners-up by a long margin are the Reds.

0:41:450:41:47

-Oh!

-Yeah(!)

0:41:470:41:49

I don't want you crying or anything like that, all right?!

0:41:490:41:53

It was the tantalus that did it in for you. Sadly, you are minus 58.

0:41:530:41:58

But let's not dwell - you have been great.

0:41:580:42:00

Let's turn to the boys, who are going to take home £29.50!

0:42:000:42:05

How about that?

0:42:050:42:07

Well done!

0:42:070:42:09

There's your £29.50. And here's all the small change coming up.

0:42:090:42:13

-Thanks very much.

-Thanks very much.

0:42:130:42:14

And because you made profits on two of your items

0:42:140:42:17

and wiped your face with the other -

0:42:170:42:19

and, incidentally,

0:42:190:42:20

made a profit on the bonus buy, which is really good -

0:42:200:42:23

I'm going to present you with the noble and rare award

0:42:230:42:27

of the nice chromium-plated pin.

0:42:270:42:29

So, take a pin, Andy. Pin it with pride. Rob, take your pin.

0:42:290:42:32

-Marvellous. Thank you very much.

-And here we go, Henry.

0:42:320:42:35

Thank you.

0:42:350:42:37

Your specialist pins, and there are very, very few of these around,

0:42:370:42:43

-so congratulations for getting an award.

-Thanks very much.

-Thank you.

0:42:430:42:46

In fact, congratulations for joining us today,
