0:00:06 > 0:00:09Today we're in the dock and against the clock,
0:00:09 > 0:00:14so sit back, relax and enjoy, as we go Bargain Hunting, yeah!
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Today's Bargain Hunt comes from Gloucester,
0:00:44 > 0:00:49in the Antiques Centre, situated in the heart of the historic docks.
0:00:49 > 0:00:54There are over 100 stalls here, so plenty to see and plenty to buy!
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Coming up, the Blues are like kids in a sweetshop.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00I just love everything! I absolutely...
0:01:00 > 0:01:03While the Reds are like bulls in a china shop.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Sorry. I beg your pardon. SOMETHING FALLS
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Oh, God! Oh, no!
0:01:07 > 0:01:09But who will clean up at the auction?
0:01:11 > 0:01:17You know the rules. Each team gets £300 and an hour to shop for three items
0:01:17 > 0:01:19with the help of their expert,
0:01:19 > 0:01:22and they then try and make a profit over at the auction.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25So let's go and meet the teams.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Today on Bargain Hunt we've got two teams of friends.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34For the Reds we've got Paul and Ralph,
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- and for the Blues we've got Hillie and Ruth. Hi.- Hello.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Very nice to see you. Now, Paul, how did you two become mates?
0:01:40 > 0:01:44Well, I could actually say that I found this chap wandering around the train station, but that'd be rude!
0:01:44 > 0:01:48- I actually met him about 40 years ago at school. - You're old school muckers?
0:01:48 > 0:01:52- Well, mucker in a kind of way, yes. - You're not working at the moment, but what did you do for a living?
0:01:52 > 0:01:57I worked in restaurants, helped run a wine bar and a restaurant in various places on the Wirral
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- and Liverpool, yeah.- And how did you meet your partner, June?
0:02:00 > 0:02:05June I met at the doctor's. I was going there regularly with various ailments
0:02:05 > 0:02:10- and she was a receptionist, and she was very, very rude, June.- Was she?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- But I found her strangely attractive. - You go for the bossy, strict type?
0:02:13 > 0:02:15- I think I do, actually, yes. - And you're still together?
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Yes, nearly eight years, yes.
0:02:17 > 0:02:23- Well, that's good news, isn't it? - Yes, apparently.- Keep going to the doctor!- Keep taking the pills.
0:02:23 > 0:02:24Ralph, what do you do for a living?
0:02:24 > 0:02:29- I'm a police motorcycle instructor. - You never are!- I am.- Are you really? - I am.
0:02:29 > 0:02:34- I'm still a police officer as well. - But you have the dream-team job, then, don't you?
0:02:34 > 0:02:39- They provide this thing for you to whizz around, right?- Yeah.
0:02:39 > 0:02:44When your little cubs, or whatever they're called, do you talk to them, are you connected up?
0:02:44 > 0:02:50- Yes. I have a radio, we have a two-way radio. I don't like them to talk back...- You do all the talking.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- Absolutely!- That is a fantastic job. - It is, it is very good.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56So, tell me, you two guys, what's your strategy today,
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- what's your plan? - Well, we actually worked out...
0:02:59 > 0:03:05- our very clever plan was that we were actually going to buy cheap items at the fair.- Really cheap?
0:03:05 > 0:03:10Really cheap items, then go out to the auction, sell them for a profit,
0:03:10 > 0:03:13and then the clever bit, which Ralph thought of, make some money!
0:03:13 > 0:03:19- There is strategy behind it, I mean, a real thought process has gone on here.- I know, I know.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23That sounds sound to me, I must say. No, seriously, very good luck with all that.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- Good fun. Now, girls, are you quaking in your boots?- Absolutely!
0:03:26 > 0:03:28What, with their strategy and everything!
0:03:28 > 0:03:33- Their well-thought out plan! - Well, in the flip-flops, yeah!
0:03:33 > 0:03:37So, Hillie, apart from being a mother and a wife, what else do you get up to?
0:03:37 > 0:03:40- Well, I'm an actor, that's what I do for a living.- Are you really?- I am.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43- Yes, darling!- Oh!
0:03:44 > 0:03:49- No, that's what I do for a living. - What sort of bits do you like to get up to?
0:03:49 > 0:03:52I suppose my bread-and-butter money is role play, a lot of the time for doctors...
0:03:52 > 0:03:57- Why do doctors need role-playing? - Say you were a trained doctor and you were coming over to the UK,
0:03:57 > 0:04:00and you want to work here, English isn't your first language,
0:04:00 > 0:04:03but you have to show you can communicate well...
0:04:03 > 0:04:07- It is handy for a doctor, isn't it? - It kind of helps, I suppose.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- You pretend to be gippy tummy and see how you get on. - Various different...
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- Varicose veins. - All sorts of ailments.- Yeah?
0:04:13 > 0:04:17And apart from all this role-playing, do you collect anything at all, Hillie?
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- I collect everything.- Do you?
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- Oh, good!- I collect everything that you could ever, ever...
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- I just love... I'm a complete car-booter.- Are you an addict?
0:04:26 > 0:04:29I'm an addict, yeah, I'm OCT.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33This is tremendous stuff. I should think it's the boys that are quaking here
0:04:33 > 0:04:37with all this experience and hands-on marketeering!
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Now, Ruth, you're also another mother and wife.
0:04:40 > 0:04:45That's right, yeah. I've got two kids, Luke who's 12 and Eve who's nearly 10,
0:04:45 > 0:04:47and I'm married to the lovely Ed.
0:04:47 > 0:04:52And it says here you have a particular liking for India.
0:04:52 > 0:04:58Yeah, back in 1994, I was really fortunate enough to be able to set up a project
0:04:58 > 0:05:01for vulnerable women, women who maybe were escaping from prostitution
0:05:01 > 0:05:08or just were very vulnerable through poverty to get into something exploitative,
0:05:08 > 0:05:12and we delivered a year's tailoring training programme
0:05:12 > 0:05:18which gave women a chance to not be dependent on charity, but to actually earn their own income...
0:05:18 > 0:05:23- That's a fantastic story, Hillie, isn't it?- It is, isn't it? - I mean, amazing, actually.
0:05:23 > 0:05:28I just hope that you're going to be able to perform with similar alacrity today on Bargain Hunt,
0:05:28 > 0:05:33- because now here's your money moment. £300 apiece. - Thank you very much, sir.- 300.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35You know the rules. Your experts await and off you go!
0:05:35 > 0:05:37And very, very good luck!
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Well, they do say that charity begins at home.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Down on the docks today we have two experienced skippers
0:05:46 > 0:05:50joining the team. Navigating for the Reds is Colin Young.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51On the tiller for Blues,
0:05:51 > 0:05:54is Attila the Scot Manning.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- Right, what do we want to buy today? - I don't know.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- I don't know really. Lovely things. - Lovely things.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- What do you want to buy?- I think something golfy, silvery perhaps...
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- I would love to look at some jewellery...- OK.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11- Retro.- Retro?- Contemporary. - Let's get started. - All right. All right, thank you.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14'I'm going to stop you about every two seconds!'
0:06:14 > 0:06:19- I know!- I just love everything! I absolutely...- You love everything!
0:06:19 > 0:06:24- And they are absolutely beautiful. - I can see we're not even going to get to the top of these stairs!
0:06:25 > 0:06:26Let's try.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36- There's a good chance that if it takes your eye, it should take somebody else's.- OK.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37- How much is it, girls?- 185.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- 185.- Too much.- Yeah.- It is lovely.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- Are you in heaven?- Mmm!
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Definitely!
0:06:48 > 0:06:49I'll be back!
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- Spitting Image puppets.- Yeah.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- Plaster.- I think it's...
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- Back you go, Ron. - A bit too much money.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06- It's not expensive.- It's not that expensive, actually.- If we could get the price down a little.
0:07:06 > 0:07:11- You'd have thought that would be all right at a tenner.- Worth coming back to if we run out of time,
0:07:11 > 0:07:13- which we are doing.- Which we are!
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Do you know, yeah, that seems all right to me.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20£19. If you could get that for a tenner, you'd be doing all right. Can't lose a lot, can you?
0:07:20 > 0:07:23I'll drink to that! But what else is cooking?
0:07:23 > 0:07:29- Colin, silver-plated warming dish. - Yeah.- What's this, like, 1920s, is this deco, would you say?
0:07:29 > 0:07:34- No! Stylewise, you're out there. It is actually a neoclassical design. - Right.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38- But you've got the right sort of period. It's early 20th century. - Early 20th century.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- So it's sort of 19... First World War sort of...- Yeah, that's it.- OK.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45It's got a nice action and it's got quite a bit of weight to it.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- Can I just take it off?- Yeah, let's have a look at it closely.
0:07:48 > 0:07:54I see plenty of those, At auction, they generally make, you know, £30, £50, £40, £60...
0:07:54 > 0:07:58- Some are more attractive than others.- Yeah. - I just like the action on it.
0:07:58 > 0:08:04- I know it's silver-plated, but... - That's where sort of some of the problems coming in now...
0:08:04 > 0:08:07- Right.- Because if you look around the edge you can see that bleeding,
0:08:07 > 0:08:10and what you've got is where the silver plate has actually worn down,
0:08:10 > 0:08:16you've actually got the base metal which is an alloy which is probably a brass alloy
0:08:16 > 0:08:18- starting to bleed through. - OK, right.
0:08:18 > 0:08:25- But fold it over, and see how much is showing.- OK. Ralph, I know we're just looking, but that's £36.
0:08:25 > 0:08:30- I don't know...- If you knock them down a bit.- Even if silver plate's your thing...- It seems...
0:08:30 > 0:08:37- I'd have it my house and polish it. - I think the problem is you're not going to make a big profit...- No.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41But I'll be honest with you, it seems like a fairly safe sort of thing to buy.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46- Sort of attractive.- Yeah. - Could we sort of earmark that one?
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- That's two pieces of silver plate we've got to earmark.- Yeah.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Lots of potential for the Reds, but the Blues are just overwhelmed by it all.
0:08:53 > 0:08:58Oh, it's so difficult! It's so incredibly difficult finding the right thing.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00We need another five hours, don't we?
0:09:00 > 0:09:04But you've only got one hour, so get a move on.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07I would say definitely keep that on the shopping list,
0:09:07 > 0:09:12- and we can always come back and ask the price on it. - Watch yourself, Ralph!
0:09:12 > 0:09:13Watch the china too!
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- A knitting teddy.- Cute.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- Do you girls knit?- No.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Oh, well, let's leave it.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28What do you think to that? How would you describe it?
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Floral, fairly attractive...
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- It's a nice little item. - There's a print on there.
0:09:34 > 0:09:42Well, it is actually signed. It's got a monogram on there. And apparently the maker is Lovely.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- It's a Lovely bowl!- A Lovely bowl. It's £16.
0:09:45 > 0:09:50Isn't it lovely? OK, well, it's one for the...
0:09:50 > 0:09:54- Yeah, I'd... That sort of... has some merit.- Yeah, OK.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58Lovely or not, they don't look convinced. They're blokes!
0:09:58 > 0:10:03- Hi, girls, what have you found?- Some scales that we like the look of.
0:10:03 > 0:10:09It's a very heavy piece of furniture. "Grocer's scales, 185".
0:10:09 > 0:10:13It's a decorator's piece. It's the type of thing that would look smashing in a kitchen.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17Now, what we've got here is this moulded oak base here,
0:10:17 > 0:10:23and I rather like the plain glass pane here,
0:10:23 > 0:10:27- and the lightness of this metal, this white metal, so I think... - Quite contemporary.
0:10:27 > 0:10:32All in all, it's a nice piece. I like your taste, girls.
0:10:32 > 0:10:37- Well, Ruth spotted that one.- Yeah, well done, Ruth.- Surprise, surprise! Yeah.- Well done, Ruth.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40- I can't believe it!- I think that's a miracle that's happened.
0:10:40 > 0:10:45If you like these, girls, I think you should go quite strongly for them,
0:10:45 > 0:10:49but you've got to see how much you can get off on them.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53While the Blues track down their dealer, the Reds have spotted something else.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Will they part with some cash this time?
0:10:56 > 0:10:58£85. What do you think of that? Solid silver.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03Chester. 1938. If that has got its original liner in, it's OK.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07If it hasn't got the liner and it's got something else in, then, don't bother.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11As I say, the key to this is going to be...
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Nice little piece.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17- There we go! Got an original liner. - No sign of chipping.- That's good.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- That's quite cute, that. - Good drum mustard. It's something we would consider,
0:11:20 > 0:11:25- but it's all going to come down to how much the bottom line figure's going to be.- Right.
0:11:25 > 0:11:30I've just spoken to the dealer and the cheapest price they'll accept would be 70,
0:11:30 > 0:11:34- so it wouldn't be that much off, actually.- Right. Not much left in that, then.- Not really.
0:11:34 > 0:11:41- No. OK... So 70's as good as he's likely to do?- Yes.- Even with his arm twisted?- Indeed, yes.- Indeed.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44OK. Well, thank you very much, and we'll pass.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48So it doesn't cut the mustard. Are the Reds going to buy anything today?
0:11:48 > 0:11:51So what's the lowest price you can offer us on this?
0:11:51 > 0:11:53I could do that at 150.
0:11:53 > 0:11:58Cos we were thinking... lower than that, weren't we? Ideally.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Yeah...I'd be happy at 150.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05140?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Would we have a deal at 140?
0:12:07 > 0:12:13Don't look at me! It's your deal, and I think that you've chosen a very interesting item.
0:12:13 > 0:12:20And it's what we said before, or what you said before, "I want to buy something unusual!"
0:12:20 > 0:12:24Yeah, it is unusual. I think we both felt that 140 was a good price.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26I will sell it to you for 140.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- Fantastic!- Shall we shake?- Yeah!
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- SQUEALING - Hurrah!
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- Are you happy?- Yeah. - Well, we haven't got very long to buy another two items.
0:12:34 > 0:12:39- Quick, we better get going!- Finally we have a buy! Well done, girls!
0:12:47 > 0:12:51So often in antiques fairs and centres like this,
0:12:51 > 0:12:55the antique furniture is all skewed towards the adults,
0:12:55 > 0:13:00but occasionally you come across something that's suitable for children like this little baby.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Just look at that!
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Isn't that charming?
0:13:04 > 0:13:07I mean, it's not made of exotic timber or anything like that,
0:13:07 > 0:13:12simply turned beech and fruit wood that's been stained,
0:13:12 > 0:13:15but what's so clever about it is the design.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18It follows the form of a traditional high chair.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22Stick the little toad in there, the front rail and the side arms
0:13:22 > 0:13:26restrain him or her from falling out,
0:13:26 > 0:13:28and they can rest their feet
0:13:28 > 0:13:30on that bottom front stretcher.
0:13:30 > 0:13:35But what's clever about this thing is the form of this front support.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38It's slightly bowed.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40And the answer with this is
0:13:40 > 0:13:45if you invert it like this and place the whole gadget on the floor,
0:13:45 > 0:13:49what you've got is a seat for the little stinker to sit on.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52The front stretcher from the other side
0:13:52 > 0:13:55becomes a place for him to rest his feet,
0:13:55 > 0:14:00and, by doing that, you induce a lovely rocking motion.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04So it's a dual high chair and rocking chair.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Which is kind of clever.
0:14:06 > 0:14:11So clever indeed that this design was patented. What's it worth?
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Well, if you look at the ticket...
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Some chair...some baby!
0:14:20 > 0:14:25Back to the shopping, and it's 1-0 to the Blues.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27- 20 minutes.- 20 minutes?
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Right, so we need to crack on, we need to buy.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33- We need to buy.- Basically, that's what you're saying.- Yes, you do!
0:14:33 > 0:14:38And with nothing in Ralph and Paul's shopping bag, Colin is taking decisive action.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Do you just want to nail a couple of these purchases, then,
0:14:40 > 0:14:45- and go with your pieces of silver plate that you like individually? - Yeah, we'll do that.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49- And then we'll come up with that third and final thing as a team effort.- In five minutes, yeah.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- Go like that?- Yeah. - Let's go and get those two. - Upstairs or downstairs?
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Upstairs.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Sounds like a plan, if you could ever find them again, lads.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02I thought those were quite sweet.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06- They're both boys.- Oh, right, sorry. - One's Huckleberry Finn.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10Oh, he's turned around. His bottom's the wrong way round. I'll just turn him the right way.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12- That is cute with the balloon. - That is quite cute, yeah.
0:15:12 > 0:15:18Avon bottles are... they're quite late, the latter part of the 20th century,
0:15:18 > 0:15:24but they are collectable. They're expressing a certain period,
0:15:24 > 0:15:28and these ones are sweet, they're appealing,
0:15:28 > 0:15:31and we've got the balloon and the little twig here.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35- I quite like these and I don't think they're too dear.- Yeah.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Would there be any chance of getting them for 12 for the pair?
0:15:38 > 0:15:42No, 15's a good price for them. They're good.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- Would you do 14 on the Avon bottles? Just another pound. - Go on.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- Thank you!- Well done.
0:15:48 > 0:15:53So they're going with the perfume bottles. Let's hope it's sweet-smelling and not a stinker!
0:15:54 > 0:15:58Well, we've got a couple of things that we're after and we're really hoping for a bit of a deal,
0:15:58 > 0:16:00because it's a bulk purchase,
0:16:00 > 0:16:04because we're high-flying buyers that are going to spend an awful lot of money with you...
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- what can you do for us?- Say, 48.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- That's starting to sound good. - What about 40?
0:16:11 > 0:16:16- I don't think we could go to 40. - Well, I'd say 40...40...
0:16:16 > 0:16:2242, really, that's all we can do, cos we're really... That's all we've got left.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- I mean, you were thinking...?- 43?
0:16:25 > 0:16:26£42.50?
0:16:26 > 0:16:32- Don't do that!- Please, don't... - Please...!- 50p, that's loose change.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34- 42, then?- 42?
0:16:34 > 0:16:37- How about 43.50?- 43.50, then?
0:16:37 > 0:16:42- I think we've... - I think we've grilled him as far as we can, really.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44And he's been really helpful.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49- He has.- A split, then, on that price. I think we're going to put the big item in at 30,
0:16:49 > 0:16:54- that's what it's cost us.- Yes. - And then for the tankard, 13.50. - 13.50.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56- That's where we have to be with it. - Thank you very much.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58You've been marvellous.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00- TIM WHISTLES - Well negotiated!
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Two in the bag at once. That's what we need.
0:17:02 > 0:17:07It's 2-2, then, but time is running out for the final items.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09You were supposed to be on the Reds, not the Blues!
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Sorry. I beg your pardon. SOMETHING FALLS Oh, God! Oh, no!
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Steady on, Paul! All breakages must be paid for...by you.
0:17:19 > 0:17:24- OK, let's have a constructive two minutes, all going in different directions.- OK.
0:17:24 > 0:17:29You go to the mallet, see if you can come back with something better on that.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32- I'll try something on the mustard... - Okey-dokes.
0:17:32 > 0:17:38- And if you want to do... the Chelsea dish.- Chelsea dish. - The Chelsea dish.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42- Right, will do. - Right, so we'll rendezvous back in here in three minutes.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46- Synchronise three minutes. Synchronise.- Got you!
0:17:46 > 0:17:47Ready? Let's go.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Synchronised watches, eh?
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Resorting to military tactics, I see.
0:17:52 > 0:17:58Anita, what about these deception glasses? Four deception glasses, £95.
0:18:01 > 0:18:06- You're not into them?- They're not my bag, but, girls, I want you to buy something that you like.
0:18:06 > 0:18:12I've sold those glasses for £50 apiece at antiques fairs. There are collectors of them,
0:18:12 > 0:18:14so when I see four for £95...
0:18:15 > 0:18:18They are rough pontil.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Feel the weight of that.
0:18:20 > 0:18:26- Oh, yeah.- The thing about these is when you look at them from the top,
0:18:26 > 0:18:32- you think that your glass is full. - Toastmaster's glass, deception. - Yeah.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35What's the best price you would do on those?
0:18:36 > 0:18:39The best I could take off those would be £10.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42- 85?- I can make it 85.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46There's no chips or anything, is there? I think we should definitely go for the glasses, yeah?
0:18:46 > 0:18:48I'm happy with that.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- And you like them?- Mmm! - You're passionate about them?
0:18:51 > 0:18:53I'm passionate!
0:18:53 > 0:18:57- LAUGHTER - You've sold them before?- I have.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59- Let's go for it, then.- Yeah.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02That's it for the Blues, then. All three items bought.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Meanwhile the Reds are back from their recce.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Right, prices?
0:19:08 > 0:19:1010.
0:19:10 > 0:19:1118.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17- I haven't negotiated anything because we can't get hold of the dealer...- Oh!- So...
0:19:18 > 0:19:21..it's you two guys. Make your decisions.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Are we even going to discuss the silver mustard? No...
0:19:24 > 0:19:26- No.- Right.- OK.
0:19:26 > 0:19:32- Dish or hammer?- I would say that the mallet has got something about it because it's fun.
0:19:32 > 0:19:37- Yeah. - I would rather go with the mallet because it's got a bit more...
0:19:37 > 0:19:39HE WHISTLES
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- OK.- We go with the mallet. - Mallet it is!
0:19:42 > 0:19:46- TIM WHISTLES - Is this part of your well-thought out plan?
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Well, hurry up, lads, before the hammer comes down!
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- Take it to the man. - Well done! Well done!- £18.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55- Can I see your licence for that? - Not yet. I promise I'll get one.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Please, please, young sir, may we have this?
0:19:57 > 0:20:01- Yeah, for 18 of your English pounds, it's yours.- Thank you so much!
0:20:01 > 0:20:03- I can't believe it! - Look after that for me.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07- OK. Oh!- Thank you, sir.- How's that?
0:20:07 > 0:20:10- With seconds to go.- Well done.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Right, that's it. Time's up,
0:20:14 > 0:20:17but before we give the experts the leftover lolly,
0:20:17 > 0:20:21let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought. You all right with that, Ted?
0:20:24 > 0:20:28Yeah! For £30, they bought this engraved breakfast dish.
0:20:30 > 0:20:35And they spent £13.50 on this silver-plated mug with horn handle.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Finally, they hope to hammer home their profits
0:20:38 > 0:20:40with a large wooden mallet.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43- Ha!- Thank goodness that's over with! - Yes.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45That was an exhalation of breath there.
0:20:45 > 0:20:50- Yes.- Just in time?- Hmm. The nick of time.- Mmm, there we go. Did you have a good time, Ralph?
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Yes, thank you. It was very good. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- Which is your favourite piece? - Well, I quite like the mallet now.
0:20:56 > 0:21:01- Now? What do you mean, now?- Well, I bought a little silver-plated tankard which I quite liked,
0:21:01 > 0:21:05but having handled it, picked it up and bought it for a reasonable price...
0:21:05 > 0:21:10- Is that going to bring the biggest profit?- No, the ostrich-egg warmer is going to make the biggest profit.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14Brilliant. And what did you spend all round?
0:21:14 > 0:21:15£61.50.
0:21:15 > 0:21:21- All three items?- All three items. - That is going to be really, really popular over at the auction house!
0:21:21 > 0:21:27- I'm sure...- They just love people pitching up from Bargain Hunt, having spent £61 on three items.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31Well, that means I want £239 of leftover lolly,
0:21:31 > 0:21:37which will be sufficient for Colin to buy at least three-quarters of this antiques fair.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41You could buy the whole place, couldn't you, half a stall with all that cash!
0:21:41 > 0:21:46- I've never seen such a bundle given to me to spend. - I just hope you spend the lot!
0:21:46 > 0:21:51And that'll sort these boys out when it comes to choosing whether to go with the bonus buy or not!
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Sorted! Good luck, Colin.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Meanwhile why don't we find out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:21:58 > 0:22:04They spent £140 on these grocer's scales. Why?
0:22:06 > 0:22:08And they think they smell a profit
0:22:08 > 0:22:11with these plastic perfume bottles for £14.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16And, hopefully, Hillie's eyes weren't deceived
0:22:16 > 0:22:20by these four deceptive glasses for £85.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Well, well, well, you're looking very chirpy, you lot!
0:22:23 > 0:22:27- Three naughty girls, I'd say! - Absolutely not!- Oh, no!
0:22:27 > 0:22:29- No!- Absolutely!
0:22:30 > 0:22:34Which is your favourite piece, then, Ruthie?
0:22:34 > 0:22:40Er...it's the scales. Because they're very simple, but beautiful and quite elegant.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44- Bit like me, then!- They have a farmhouse look about them. - Oh, do they?- Yeah.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48- What about you, Hillie? - I love my deception glasses!
0:22:48 > 0:22:50- Right.- Four deception glasses.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- How much did you spend all round? - We spent £239.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Did you? Very good.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59£61. There's the oner. There's the 60. Thank you very much.
0:22:59 > 0:23:04- This goes straight to Anita Manning. - Thank you very much. - For your usual challenge.
0:23:04 > 0:23:09The girls wanted to get some art deco items, but they chose some quite different things,
0:23:09 > 0:23:13so I'll maybe have a wee look and see if I can get a deco item for them.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Something profitable, please.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17- I'll do my best.- OK.
0:23:17 > 0:23:22Thank you very much, girls. Meanwhile we're heading across and up into the hills.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25In fact we're going to Castle Howard and that's an awfully long way away!
0:23:35 > 0:23:40Castle Howard is one of the finest properties in Britain.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44Building work started in 1700,
0:23:44 > 0:23:51but it was to take 100 years before it could be described as being fully complete.
0:23:51 > 0:23:57That's the lifetime of three earls, numerous architects and craftspeople.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00How the project started and the choice of architect
0:24:00 > 0:24:05for a house of this size and proportion is a story in itself.
0:24:05 > 0:24:10Initially, the 3rd Earl of Carlisle approached William Talman, the leading architect of the day.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14However, he rejected the proposals and the Earl instead turned to a man
0:24:14 > 0:24:19who, amazingly, had never at that point built anything in his life.
0:24:19 > 0:24:27The truth of the matter is that although Vanbrugh at this point was untried as an architect,
0:24:27 > 0:24:32he did have as his assistant Nicholas Hawksmoor who had worked for Christopher Wren
0:24:32 > 0:24:38in St Paul's Cathedral architects' office, which was just as well.
0:24:38 > 0:24:43They say that Castle Howard was actually built by three people,
0:24:43 > 0:24:46the Earl of Carlisle, amateur architect,
0:24:46 > 0:24:52Vanbrugh, set designer and in charge of all things theatrical,
0:24:52 > 0:24:55and Nicholas Hawksmoor who was the pro.
0:25:08 > 0:25:15One of the hidden and often unrealised facts about Castle Howard
0:25:15 > 0:25:19is that they have managed to preserve their massive archive.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23On this table, we've got two rare first editions
0:25:23 > 0:25:28of a book that's entitled Vetruvius Britannicus,
0:25:28 > 0:25:37Britain's leading architectural publication from the early part of the 18th century by Colen Campbell.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41In this volume which was produced in 1715
0:25:41 > 0:25:44it shows Castle Howard in elevation.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47And here we've got the central block and dome
0:25:47 > 0:25:51and the archway through which you might have entered.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54In answer to the question what did all this lot cost,
0:25:54 > 0:25:57again in the archive you come across all these ledgers.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01On the outside it identifies the 3rd Earl of Carlisle
0:26:01 > 0:26:06and an account of his disbursements on his buildings.
0:26:06 > 0:26:13This is a precis, year by year, of everything that he spent on his buildings
0:26:13 > 0:26:15here at Castle Howard,
0:26:15 > 0:26:21and it finishes with the last entry in 1737, the year before his death, with the grand total
0:26:21 > 0:26:28of £78,240, 2 shillings and 10 pence.
0:26:28 > 0:26:35And how much is £78,000 spent in 1737 worth today?
0:26:35 > 0:26:41Well, according to the mathematicians it tots up to about 10 million.
0:26:41 > 0:26:47Don't tell me that you could build this magnificent structure today for £10 million,
0:26:47 > 0:26:51because you couldn't! It would be what they call a bargain!
0:27:07 > 0:27:13Well, we've come 16 miles northwest from Gloucester to Malvern
0:27:13 > 0:27:17- to meet my old mate Philip Serrell. Good morning.- Good to have you, Tim. - Lovely to be here.- Yes.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21For the Reds, their first item is this kidney dish. Do you fancy that?
0:27:21 > 0:27:23I like my breakfast.
0:27:23 > 0:27:28If you want to start and have a really good day, a good breakfast sets you up.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32And that's a fantastic thing to put your kidneys, bacon and sausage in, isn't it?
0:27:32 > 0:27:36Yes, I know. Just look at that! And it works like a Rolls-Royce door. Look at that.
0:27:36 > 0:27:41- So what's it worth?- I think that's going to make £20-£30. - Spot on! £30 they paid.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43- So we're all right there. - We're perfectly all right.
0:27:43 > 0:27:50- What about the mug with the horn handle?- That's from the rum baba and Black Forest gateau era, isn't it?
0:27:50 > 0:27:53- Yes.- Do people still use those or not?- I don't know.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57They do if they have an Alpiney thing, I expect, one of those skiing revival jobs.
0:27:57 > 0:28:03We don't have too many of those in Malvern. I reckon that's, like, I don't know, £10-£15.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07- They paid £13.50.- So it's on the cusp, isn't it?- It's on the cusp.
0:28:07 > 0:28:12Lastly, we come to one of your favourite objects, something made of wood.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Well, I'm not sure what it is. It's like one of those fairground things
0:28:15 > 0:28:18that you whack on the thing in the ground and it hits the bell...
0:28:18 > 0:28:23- Oh, one of those?- Or if it's not good enough, you probably just whack the stakes in around the circus...
0:28:23 > 0:28:28That's very clever, isn't it? I mean, it's worth more as a fairground accoutrement
0:28:28 > 0:28:31- than it is as an agricultural mallet.- Yeah.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Well, a mallet's a mallet, isn't it?
0:28:33 > 0:28:39- For me it's like a fiver.- You're not being tight here, are you, Phil? - Me?- Yeah.- I wouldn't know how to be.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43OK. Well, they paid £18. They invested £18, actually.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47I'm very glad that you raised your game, Phil, and are prepared to take on the challenge,
0:28:47 > 0:28:50because, quite frankly, I think they're going to need their bonus buy!
0:28:50 > 0:28:53Now, Ralph, Paul, you spent £61.50,
0:28:53 > 0:28:58which has to be one of the tiniest amounts ever expended on this programme on three items.
0:28:58 > 0:29:03Colin, you had the rest, all £238.50. What did you buy?
0:29:03 > 0:29:07- Let's have a look at what we got. - Oh, my word!- How about that? - That's, er...
0:29:07 > 0:29:10- Pretty?- Yes, yes. You'd look nice in them, Ralph.
0:29:10 > 0:29:15- Thank you.- Are they solid silver? - No, it's actually gold backed.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19It's a white metal which may be platinum, I'm not quite sure,
0:29:19 > 0:29:24but inset in that there are diamonds, there's sapphires, you've got pearls as well in there.
0:29:24 > 0:29:29- Are they real, Colin?- Yeah, they are real.- So, you paid for it...?
0:29:30 > 0:29:34- How much money did you leave me? - 230...- Far too much!- Yes.
0:29:34 > 0:29:39- Yeah, well, you left me £238.50... - And 50p, sorry. - It makes all the difference.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43And so I thought I would spend every single penny of it.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47- You didn't?- £238.50?- Yeah. - On that?- Yes.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50- Lovely.- Right.- OK.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52- OK, lads?- Right.- Er...
0:29:52 > 0:29:58Listen, you are two of the tightest contestants we've ever had on this programme.
0:29:58 > 0:30:04I don't expect you to be happy about him going out and spending the whole £238.50.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07- In fact, you're absolutely horrified! - Can I just ask that final question?
0:30:07 > 0:30:12- What do you think it's going to make?- I think it should make £200, maybe £300.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14- Oh!- Oh!
0:30:14 > 0:30:18- You never know with these sort of late-Victorian pieces. - OK, you happy with that?
0:30:18 > 0:30:21- Thank you very much. - We've got that solidly embedded!
0:30:21 > 0:30:26Now, for the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Colin's brooch.
0:30:26 > 0:30:30Well, here we go, Philip, from the ridiculous to the sublime. How about that?
0:30:30 > 0:30:32- Well, it's a bit of quality, isn't it?- It certainly is.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36It's a real bit of quality, and jewellery at the moment is hot to trot,
0:30:36 > 0:30:38so I think Colin's done them proud.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41We've put a £200-£300 estimate on it. I don't know what he's...
0:30:41 > 0:30:43£238.50 is what he paid,
0:30:43 > 0:30:47- precisely.- Well, I think he's played the percentage game quite clever,
0:30:47 > 0:30:50because it should make 200, 210 all day long,
0:30:50 > 0:30:55and with a bit of luck it's going to make 250, 280, so I think he's done a good job there.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59Well, bearing in mind that they spent absolutely nothing on their objects,
0:30:59 > 0:31:02I think it's rather cool of him to go out and blow the lot!
0:31:02 > 0:31:05- It's putting his neck under that thing, isn't it?- It certainly is.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Now for the Blues.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10- And what a selection we've got here. - Well, goodness me!
0:31:10 > 0:31:14I actually like one of these lots, but I think I'm going to wait till we get to it till I tell you.
0:31:14 > 0:31:20Let's go in the order you're going to be selling them. The grocer's scales, do they turn you on at all?
0:31:20 > 0:31:23- They sort of weigh heavily with me, really.- Oh!
0:31:23 > 0:31:26I think that's £50 worth, really.
0:31:26 > 0:31:31- What did they pay for that? - 140 smack!- Ouch!- I think that's a bit of a dead loss.- Yeah.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33How about the old Avon bottles, then?
0:31:33 > 0:31:38- Well, it's an area of the market that personally I haven't had too much experience of...- Really?
0:31:38 > 0:31:44And for that I'm actually moderately pleased. I think they're like £10 or £15 worth.
0:31:44 > 0:31:48- That's perfect. Don't fret about it. £14 they paid.- Right, OK. - I mean, it's just a bit of fun,
0:31:48 > 0:31:53- isn't it?- Yeah, they are fun.- And you can give it the ding-dong jokes, someone'll go for it.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57- So on the process of elimination, then...- It isn't those two!
0:31:57 > 0:32:00..The lot that you do quite fancy are these four.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04I think they're lovely. And I think, I mean, illusional deception glasses,
0:32:04 > 0:32:10I think it's a great pity I didn't meet these earlier in my life and I might not be the size I am now!
0:32:10 > 0:32:16What have we put on them? £60-£90. You know, it wouldn't surprise me if they crept into three figures,
0:32:16 > 0:32:19- but I think they're a nice lot. I like them.- OK.
0:32:19 > 0:32:26- Well, our lot invested £85.- Yeah. - Which I think is the right amount to invest.- Yes, yes.- OK.
0:32:26 > 0:32:32Fine. Well, on that happy note, what you make on the glasses might make up for the loss on the scales,
0:32:32 > 0:32:35but they're going to need their bonus buy! Let's go and see it.
0:32:36 > 0:32:43Right, girls, you spent £239. Magnificent. You gave A Manning £61. What did you buy, Anita?
0:32:45 > 0:32:48- They're nice! - Now, I know the girls like silver,
0:32:48 > 0:32:52and what they bought, they didn't get anything silver,
0:32:52 > 0:32:55they couldn't see anything, so I thought I would buy these.
0:32:55 > 0:33:01It's a little lot which comprises this delightful little matchbox holder
0:33:01 > 0:33:05with this cluster of embossed cherubs. There, they are so sweet.
0:33:05 > 0:33:12And this elegant little match holder. They're both hallmarked silver,
0:33:12 > 0:33:14and I thought they were rather sweet,
0:33:14 > 0:33:21- and I thought that you girls might just love them.- I do! I do! I love...- Contain yourself!
0:33:21 > 0:33:26- We were hoping for silver.- That is so pretty. I would buy these for me. - I know you would.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28You'd quite like to know how much you paid for them.
0:33:28 > 0:33:32- How much did you pay?- Well, for both of them together £55.
0:33:32 > 0:33:38- I think that's a bargain.- How much do you think...- Maybe 30, 35 each. - Yeah!
0:33:38 > 0:33:40- Might go to 70 for the two. - Yeah, definitely.- Are you happy?
0:33:40 > 0:33:44- Yes!- Yes. Thank you, Anita. - Thank you.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46You've woven your magic yet again, Anita.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50Let's find out whether the magic is also being felt by Philip Serrell.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56There we go, Phil. Anita Manning's double-barrelled effort.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58Well, I mean, they're pretty enough.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01And the thing is at the moment with silver and gold, you can't really fail,
0:34:01 > 0:34:05- because on a daily basis the prices are going up.- Yeah.
0:34:05 > 0:34:10So we've put... I mean, that for me is a bit boring...
0:34:10 > 0:34:12but I quite like this plain one here.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15- Yeah, if only you could open it. - Yeah, absolutely!
0:34:15 > 0:34:18But I do think that's a sweet thing, beautiful quality.
0:34:18 > 0:34:25- I think they're going to make £40-£60 all day long.- Are you taking the sale for us?- Yes!- We'll be in safe hands!
0:34:27 > 0:34:2825. 35.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36- Confident?- Yes. - Yes, we are, actually.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38- Are you?- Yes, frighteningly so.- Mmm.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41- We've heard about this lot before. - Yes.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44Which piece is going to do particularly well for you?
0:34:44 > 0:34:48- I think the Elizabethan mallet which is one of a pair...- Is it?
0:34:48 > 0:34:53- I think so.- Where's the other half? - It's in York Museum.- Is it? - Yes, apparently.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Really? Apparently? I love it, don't you?
0:34:55 > 0:34:57Anyway, here we go.
0:34:57 > 0:35:02This is the revolving silver-plated breakfast dish.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05It will make your kidneys, bacon and sausage taste a whole lot better.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08Bid me for that lot. Start me off. £40 to start?
0:35:08 > 0:35:13Bid me 20. 10 I'm bid. At 10. 12.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15- 12 bid. In the room at 12. - Not very much.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17At 12. 12 bid. £12.
0:35:17 > 0:35:1915. 18. 18 bid.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22- Get on with it!- 20 on the net.
0:35:22 > 0:35:2425, sir?
0:35:24 > 0:35:28- 20 bid here. On the net, bid at 20. Is there any more?- Come on!
0:35:28 > 0:35:33At £20 only. 25 anywhere? At £20, and I sell then at 20 and done.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35- Thank you.- £20.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38What did you expect? To make a fortune?
0:35:38 > 0:35:42I don't think so. Next is the plated mug with the horn handle.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46It's straight in at a tenner. 10 quickly. 5 and away, then?
0:35:46 > 0:35:50Oh, dear! Who's got a couple of pounds? Quickly, surely?
0:35:50 > 0:35:52Thank you. 2 I'm bid. 5. Bid at 5.
0:35:52 > 0:35:548 now, madam?
0:35:54 > 0:35:56What do you mean, no?
0:35:56 > 0:35:595. I'm bid at 5. 5 bid.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02Gentleman's bid. At 5. 8? 8 bid. 10 now, sir?
0:36:02 > 0:36:05- Go on.- 10 bid.- Just try.- 12 bid.
0:36:05 > 0:36:11You better go 14 now. 15. At £15. Gentleman's bid. Done then at 15.
0:36:11 > 0:36:12Thank you.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14£1.50 profit.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Well done, Ralphie.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18I'm really... That was very stressful.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Minus £8.50. Here we go with the mallet.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24Lot number 250 is the mallet.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27Well, give me £30 to start.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30Bid me a tenner, someone.
0:36:32 > 0:36:3410. 5.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36I'm bid at 5. 5 bid.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39At £5 only. 5 bid. Is there any more?
0:36:39 > 0:36:40At £5. I'm only bid at 5.
0:36:40 > 0:36:418. 8 bid.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44One more, sir? Yes? 10. 12, sir?
0:36:44 > 0:36:46At 10. At 12.
0:36:46 > 0:36:4812 bid. £12. Any more at all?
0:36:48 > 0:36:52At £12, then. I sell at £12. Thank you.
0:36:52 > 0:36:57Minus £6 on that. You had minus £8.50 before, so you're now...
0:36:57 > 0:36:59minus £14.50.
0:36:59 > 0:37:04Now, you low spenders, this is your opportunity to splash out, if you fancy it.
0:37:04 > 0:37:10Are you going to go with the £238.50 purchase or not? What are you going to do?
0:37:10 > 0:37:14- I think we'll go for it. - It's a beautiful thing and we're going to go for it.- Going for it.
0:37:14 > 0:37:20- That, I think, is the wisest decision you've made so far, chaps...- Thank you very much indeed.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24- ..If I was making a prediction. - Thank you.- On the other hand, it could go horribly wrong.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27Anyway, here comes Colin's brooch.
0:37:27 > 0:37:28Lot number 254
0:37:28 > 0:37:33is this lovely Victorian pendant set with pearls, diamond and sapphires.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36Bid me £300.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39Bid me 250. Smithy, start me at 200.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42Yes? 200 I'm bid.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46- That's done.- 200. At 200. There's the bid.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49- At 200. £210. 220.- Come on!
0:37:49 > 0:37:51There's the bid at 220.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53At 230. 230.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55- That's it.- Well done.- 240. 250, Tim.
0:37:55 > 0:37:56250.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59Well done! You're the man!
0:37:59 > 0:38:04At £250, then, I sell at £250 and done. Thank you.
0:38:04 > 0:38:10- Well done, sir!- Well done. - That is plus £11.50.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12- That's what I love about this! - There you go!
0:38:12 > 0:38:18£11.50. You were £14.50 down the proverbial lavatory previously.
0:38:18 > 0:38:23- You are now only minus £3.- Who needs a mallet?- Who needs a mallet?
0:38:23 > 0:38:26And, anyway, minus £3 may be a winning score.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30- So just don't mention a word of that to those girls, all right?- OK.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39- Now, Hillie and Ruth, do you know how the Reds got on?- No.- No.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43- Haven't got the faintest idea? - No.- No.- They're slightly doubtful those two, aren't they?- Yes.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47- You really want to beat them, don't you?- Yes. - Very much like to beat them!
0:38:47 > 0:38:50Well, the grocer's scales may not do it for you, I have to say.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52Here it comes, grocer's scales.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55Bid me £100 for them. Bid me 100.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59- Bid me 50 to start. - Go on!
0:38:59 > 0:39:02No money for them? £50.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Bid me £30.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06- Come on!- It's not looking good.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Start the car, someone! Bid me £20 for the scales.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14This is not going well at the minute. These people need help.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Who's got £20 to start?
0:39:16 > 0:39:19- Oh, Tim! - I'd a horrible feeling about this.
0:39:19 > 0:39:20- £10? - Oh, my God!
0:39:20 > 0:39:23PHIL: Dear, oh, dear, oh, dear! Who's got a fiver, quickly?
0:39:23 > 0:39:25I'm going to take you at 10, sir.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27At 10. I'm bid at 10.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29This is the worst ever!
0:39:29 > 0:39:31At £10 and done. Thank you.
0:39:31 > 0:39:36- Dear, oh, dear! That is minus 130. - They just didn't like them!
0:39:36 > 0:39:41Yeah, very nice buy, that! OK, now come to the perfume bottles.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43Sorry, girls.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45Bid me for those. Start me at £10 for the two.
0:39:45 > 0:39:4810. Who's got a fiver, quickly? 5 anywhere, quickly?
0:39:48 > 0:39:50£5.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53Who's got a couple of pounds to start? That's no money for them.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55- £2! - 2 anywhere?
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Now, couple of pounds quickly, someone?
0:39:57 > 0:39:592. I'm bid at 2. £2.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02At £2. Hamper, have you got a fiver?
0:40:02 > 0:40:05- Well done.- He is trying. - 5. I'm bid at 5.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07£5. At £5.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09£5 and done, then, at 5.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12That is minus £9.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14What about the deception glasses?
0:40:14 > 0:40:16They've got to do really well. Here we go.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19Bid me for those. Who's got £120 to start?
0:40:19 > 0:40:23I'm bid £50 for those. At 50. 50 bid.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25At 50. 55. 60.
0:40:25 > 0:40:2765. 70. 75. 80.
0:40:27 > 0:40:32- 85. 90. 95. 100 with me. - You're in profit, girls.- 110 now?
0:40:32 > 0:40:34At £100 and done. Thank you.
0:40:34 > 0:40:38- Well done.- Well, that is plus £15. - Well done.- Well, that is plus...
0:40:38 > 0:40:41How lovely to have a profit! Which is nice...
0:40:41 > 0:40:44But I'm afraid it doesn't wipe out much in the way of the losses.
0:40:44 > 0:40:48- Because you are...- I cannot believe those scales only went for £10. - That is really sad.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51Overall, girls, I'm afraid you're minus 124.
0:40:51 > 0:40:57- Yes...minus 124.- I can't get my head round it.- Don't worry about it. It's not personal.
0:40:57 > 0:41:02They just didn't like your scales. What are we going to do about the bits of silver?
0:41:02 > 0:41:04- Well, we'll go with them.- Going to go with them?- Yeah.- You like them.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07Right, going with the bonus buy. Here they come.
0:41:07 > 0:41:11And I'm bid £30 on the book. 35. 45. 55 bid.
0:41:11 > 0:41:1360 is it?
0:41:13 > 0:41:1760. At £60. There's the bid. At £60 only.
0:41:17 > 0:41:21- At 60. 60 bid. Any more at all? - You're in profit.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23At £60. £60 and done. Thank you.
0:41:23 > 0:41:27- We got a bit more for that. - Plus £5, which means...
0:41:27 > 0:41:29- you are minus £119.- Oh, God!
0:41:29 > 0:41:33- I don't think I've got a future in antiques.- I don't think I have!
0:41:33 > 0:41:35Stick to the day job!
0:41:35 > 0:41:39- No, seriously, don't talk to those Reds, all right?- Hmm. OK.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41All will be revealed in a moment.
0:41:46 > 0:41:50It is no secret to both teams that, sadly, that nobody today is going home with pound notes
0:41:50 > 0:41:54- in their back pockets.- Oh!- So I'm afraid it's a question of losses.
0:41:54 > 0:42:00But the scale of losses between the two teams is...
0:42:00 > 0:42:02diverse...how could I put it?
0:42:02 > 0:42:05One team have a tiny loss and one team have an enormous loss,
0:42:05 > 0:42:09- and the team with the enormous loss is of course the Blues.- Aw!
0:42:09 > 0:42:17I mean, minus £119 is a pretty good number, actually, by anybody's standards.
0:42:17 > 0:42:21- It was those scales what did it in for you, wasn't it?- Yeah.
0:42:21 > 0:42:25- You did get your profit of £15, though, out of the deception glasses which was jolly good.- Yeah.
0:42:25 > 0:42:30And you got a profit out of the bonus buy, but it wasn't enough to staunch the flow of losses!
0:42:30 > 0:42:36- No.- So bad luck, girls. I hope you had a nice time.- Oh, yeah.- Oh, yeah! - That's lovely.
0:42:36 > 0:42:41- But the victors today who win by only losing £3...- Fantastic!
0:42:41 > 0:42:42It is a result, isn't it, really?
0:42:42 > 0:42:46The only profit that you actually generated, you guys, was £1.50,
0:42:46 > 0:42:49which is something to write home about, I suppose.
0:42:49 > 0:42:54- You got £11.50 out of the maestro in the way of a profit...- Genius!
0:42:54 > 0:42:56- But, anyway, didn't quite turn it, did you?- No...
0:42:56 > 0:42:59- no, no, no...- It was a valiant effort, wasn't it?- It was.
0:42:59 > 0:43:04- And we had the helter-skelter, didn't we? Up the ladder and down the snake.- And the mallet!
0:43:04 > 0:43:06And the mallet! We must never forget that mallet.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09And we've had great fun! In fact, so much fun join us soon
0:43:09 > 0:43:12- for some more Bargain Hunting! Yes? - Yes!
0:43:14 > 0:43:16I know, you're sitting there,
0:43:16 > 0:43:19thinking, "I could have done better than that!"
0:43:19 > 0:43:21Well, what's stopping you?
0:43:21 > 0:43:25If you think you can spot a bargain, go to our BBC website and apply...
0:43:25 > 0:43:28It'll be splendid to see you.
