0:00:04 > 0:00:06Are you ready to go shopping?
0:00:06 > 0:00:10I sure know I am, so let's go Bargain Hunting! Yeah!
0:00:35 > 0:00:39'Today, we're at the Royal Bath and West Showground in Shepton Mallet.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41'Shepton is famous for its cider.'
0:00:41 > 0:00:46So, why don't we find out what bargains we've got inside 'ere...
0:00:46 > 0:00:48my dear?
0:00:48 > 0:00:49Ooh!
0:00:49 > 0:00:51'Dear, oh dear!
0:00:51 > 0:00:52'Coming up in today's show,
0:00:52 > 0:00:56'the boys try to take the girls shopping, with inevitable results.'
0:00:56 > 0:00:58She's an acquired taste!
0:00:58 > 0:01:01- Does it float your boat?- No.- No.
0:01:01 > 0:01:02BOTH: No!
0:01:02 > 0:01:04- Expensive taste. - That is expensive taste.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07I think it's a bit too much for Bargain Hunt.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Too much for Bargain Hunt?! We're on the wrong show, Lara!
0:01:10 > 0:01:12'But will this fussiness pay off at the auction?'
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Oh, no! Go on!
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Not looking good, this.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18'Let's meet the teams.'
0:01:20 > 0:01:23On the show today we have two teams of sisters.
0:01:23 > 0:01:28How lovely! For the reds, we've got Tracey and Tonya. Hello, girls.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Hello, Tim.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32- And for the blues we've got Mary and Lara.- Hi, Tim.- Hi.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Lovely to see you lot.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Tonya, are you going to get on with your sister?
0:01:36 > 0:01:38I normally get on very well with her
0:01:38 > 0:01:41but today there could be a bit of friction.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44- You do spend all your time together though, don't you?- We do, yeah.- Yes.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46What do you do for a living, Tonya?
0:01:46 > 0:01:49I'm a support worker at a drug and alcohol rehab centre.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Oh, lordy, that sounds quite a job.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54It is, very good, very rewarding.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56What do you do when you're not at work?
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- Bingo.- Do you?
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Bingo, boot sales and shopping.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04What happens at the bingo then, do you ever do any good with that?
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Yeah, recently I had a £6,000 win.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08- Never!- Yes.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12I went very excited and it was the only time Tracey didn't come with me so we didn't share it!
0:02:12 > 0:02:14You didn't give her a scrap?
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- No!- Did you not?
0:02:16 > 0:02:18That's not very sisterly, is it?
0:02:18 > 0:02:21You could have another second, spectacular winning today
0:02:21 > 0:02:22on Bargain Hunt, couldn't you?
0:02:22 > 0:02:24We certainly will.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27I mean, we've got plenty of scope for making £6,000 worth of profit(!)
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- That's why we're here. - Tracey, what do you do for a living?
0:02:30 > 0:02:34I'm an assistant manageress at an arcade in Weston.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Are you? What sort of an arcade would that be?
0:02:37 > 0:02:39It's a busy amusement arcade.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43- Ah, one-armed bandits!- Oh, yes, big fruit machines paying out big money.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46What do you do when you're not running the amusement arcade?
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- My passion is Zumba. - What's Zumba when it's at home?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Zumba is a dance craze
0:02:51 > 0:02:54where you wear a jingle-jangle skirt...
0:02:54 > 0:02:58- This all means something to you? - Yeah.- Yeah, lovely, very good.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00You wear a jingle-jangle skirt to shake your bits
0:03:00 > 0:03:03and I've actually brought you, Tim,
0:03:03 > 0:03:06a jingle-jangle skirt so you can shake your bits!
0:03:06 > 0:03:07- Me?! - TRACEY LAUGHS
0:03:07 > 0:03:09- Me?!- Yes.- Zumba?
0:03:09 > 0:03:11- Zumba.- I've never heard of Zumba.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Aw, ho-ho-ho!
0:03:14 > 0:03:17This is... the Egyptian belly dancer's kit!
0:03:17 > 0:03:20It's a bit smaller than a belly dancer's one...
0:03:20 > 0:03:22- Is it?- ..it's the same principle. - How very kind.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24You put it on and you shake your bits.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Reckon you can beat these girls today?
0:03:27 > 0:03:29- Oh, yes.- We'll give them a run for their money.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33Yeah. They don't seem to be quaking in their boots, exactly.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Anyway, very good luck, reds.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Now, Mary and Lara, you are identical sisters.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39- We are, yes.- We are indeed.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Quite similar.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Are you similar in every respect otherwise?
0:03:44 > 0:03:47I think we've got quite different personalities.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Mary's known by my family as my Executive PA...
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- Oh-ho!- ..because she does a lot of work for me,
0:03:53 > 0:03:54organising my hectic schedule!
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- That's true.- Is that true, Mary? - It is true, definitely!
0:03:57 > 0:04:03Well, it's very nice that you accept your role in life as a slave.
0:04:03 > 0:04:08- So who's the oldest?- Who d'you think?- Ah! I understand, thank you.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Very good. Hence the executive relationship.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14- There you go, you see. - Brilliant, isn't it?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Two significant minutes older, it all counts.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- Now, you share an apartment. - We do, yes.- Does that work out OK?
0:04:20 > 0:04:22We get on very well, don't we?
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- We work as a good team.- As long as the pecking order is respected!
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Mary does the cleaning, I do the bills so that's how it works.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- Lara brings the money in, I spend it, so...- Oh, super!
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- We're like a married couple. - Sounds absolutely wizard!
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Is that the way it's going to work on Bargain Hunt today?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Will you make all the decisions
0:04:39 > 0:04:42and Mary's going to take the cash out and pay?
0:04:42 > 0:04:43Well, Mary's a very good shopper.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45I'm definitely a chief shopper,
0:04:45 > 0:04:48so I think today, I'll be leading the team.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51What do you collect? Do you collect anything?
0:04:51 > 0:04:55When we moved to Bristol we arrived to an empty flat, unfurnished flat
0:04:55 > 0:05:00and being fans of the finer things in life, we couldn't really afford
0:05:00 > 0:05:01expensive furniture
0:05:01 > 0:05:04so we went out to antiques places
0:05:04 > 0:05:06and we bought lots of...
0:05:06 > 0:05:09well, run-down furniture with a bit of character,
0:05:09 > 0:05:11then we upcycled them and they now sit in our flat.
0:05:11 > 0:05:16- So this means you rag 'em, bag 'em, scrag 'em and strip 'em?- Exactly.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17Yeah.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Other things we fancy in our flat perhaps we'll buy and hope they sell at auction.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Well, this is going to be exciting. Now, the money moment.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28£300 a piece, I'll just get my Zumba outfit out of the way.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32That's lovely. You know the rules, your experts await and off you go!
0:05:32 > 0:05:34And very, very, very good luck!
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Gosh, I've never done any Zumba work!
0:05:41 > 0:05:44'Our experts today are angling for some big finds.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47'Hoping to reel it in for the reds,
0:05:47 > 0:05:49'is Jeremy Lamond.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53'Whilst Henry Meadows is trying to hook a bargain for the blues.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55'The hour starts now!
0:05:55 > 0:05:56'Good luck, teams!'
0:05:56 > 0:05:58You know the rules? Let's have a little test.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- How much do the teams have to spend? - £300.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05- And how long do they have to do their shopping in?- One hour.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07- How many items do they buy?- Three.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11- There you go, full marks, you've got it!- Oh, thank you!
0:06:11 > 0:06:13£300, one hour, three items
0:06:13 > 0:06:16and the team that makes the most profit, of course...
0:06:17 > 0:06:19- Win.- Wins!
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Magnificent! Bravo!
0:06:27 > 0:06:31- So, let me see if I've got this right today, Lara...?- Yep.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- And Mary?- Yeah, that's right.- Hey!
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- You are the Yin and Yang of this team?- Yes.- Oh, yes.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- There's going to be double the trouble and double the impact?- Yep.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43- I would like to spend all the money we've got.- Really?- Yep.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Do you think the same, or... have you got different ideas about,
0:06:46 > 0:06:49you know, what you're going to be going for today?
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- I think we've got quite similar tastes.- Yeah.- Fantastic.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53- Let's find out.- Let's go.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02There's a whip there?
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Are you going to be cracking the whip today or...?
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- Don't step out of line. - I'm scared now(!)
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- It's got a long range. - See what I have to live with?
0:07:10 > 0:07:13'Watch your back, Henry. She's a wild one.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16'Let's see how Jeremy's getting on with those reds.'
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- Does that float your boat? - BOTH: No!- No, oh.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20No, definitely not.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- SELLER LAUGHS - Is there a fan in this box?
0:07:25 > 0:07:29- Oh, look, it's an invisible fan, that's rare(!) Now that is rare(!) - ALL LAUGH
0:07:29 > 0:07:32If I take it out...
0:07:32 > 0:07:34- and just spread it... - Ooh, lovely!
0:07:34 > 0:07:36- Oof, I felt that(!) - An invisible fan.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39And that's the first one I've seen.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43'Ah-ha, Jeremy, I don't know how many FANS you're going to have
0:07:43 > 0:07:45'after telling a joke like that!'
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Trust you to pick up a mermaid.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- I know.- I'm not sure I'd want that on my mantelpiece.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51She's an acquired taste!
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- Yeah.- Perhaps one for the men.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55ALL LAUGH
0:07:55 > 0:07:57'Well, Henry, you'll have to work hard
0:07:57 > 0:08:00'to keep your head above the waves with these two!'
0:08:01 > 0:08:04There's a chandelier weight there, which is unusual.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06A cast-iron chandelier weight.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Oh, yeah. It's heavy, yeah.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12French suspension for chandelier or heavy light fitting.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- Chandelier or heavy light fitting. - £18.- £18.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Number two, French cast iron.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21What would the initials be on it, anything...?
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Well, it says, DW or WD.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26The French War Department, isn't it?
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- Don't! - (FRENCH ACCENT) War of Department!
0:08:29 > 0:08:30And under here is 40,
0:08:30 > 0:08:32so you've got WD-40.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Which is what we need(!)
0:08:34 > 0:08:35No?
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Ooh, well, I can't pull it.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41It's going to be good and strong if it can pull a chandelier?
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- Yeah, that's quite nice. - That's different, isn't it?
0:08:44 > 0:08:46- Want to try for that one? - Yeah, go on, then.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47- Have a go at that one?- Yeah.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- She's round the corner. SELLER:- Oop, sorry. That's mine.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53OK.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- What've I got on it?- £18.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- I'll do it for £15?- £15?- Yeah.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- What d'you think, £15? - I think we should.- Yeah.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04- You'll have to find a can of WD-40! - ALL LAUGH
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- OK, lovely, thanks.- £15? - Yeah, £15.- We'll go for that.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09And here we are. We've bought it.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11- Lovely.- Well done, ladies. - Number one.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Under ten minutes, first one.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- Number one, not number two! - Number two.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- Yeah, but number one item. - Yeah.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21'Our sisters in red give it the right one-two
0:09:21 > 0:09:24'and have kicked off the shopping.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26'The terrible twins have clocked something.'
0:09:26 > 0:09:27Over here, nice little clock.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Probably got expensive taste but I'll look anyway.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34Let's have a look.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37What's the condition of it like, though?
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Often it's the case...it's prone to damage, it's very soft.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Is it telling the right time?
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Well, one thing's for sure,
0:09:45 > 0:09:47you can guarantee it's going to be right at least twice a day.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49TWINS LAUGH
0:09:49 > 0:09:53- I actually laughed at that one. - That was good actually, Henry.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57- Well, how much is it? £220.- £220.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01- Yeah.- Expensive taste.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05And for us, I think it's a bit too much for Bargain Hunt.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09Too much for Bargain Hunt?! We're on the wrong show, Lara!
0:10:09 > 0:10:12'You highfalutin girls are on the right show -
0:10:12 > 0:10:14'you're just picking the wrong items.
0:10:14 > 0:10:19'Now, the Reds are onto a dead cert with this executor's ledger.'
0:10:19 > 0:10:20You don't know who Mr Bosworth was?
0:10:20 > 0:10:23I haven't had time to research it,
0:10:23 > 0:10:26but he was obviously a very affluent Victorian gentleman.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30So we have what they used to call "a man of substance" here.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34- A gentleman. A gentleman... - Just like yourself.- Absolutely!
0:10:34 > 0:10:37You know how to get round him, don't you?
0:10:37 > 0:10:39I think it is dated somewhere.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43There's a date there on the top corner. Next page.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Oh, 1887. Well spotted.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48It's all about the parcels of land and stocks
0:10:48 > 0:10:50and who he left them all to.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54- Depends how much it is. - It's 25, so it's not expensive.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57If you're called Bosworth, then of course you're going to want it.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59That's good. I like that.
0:10:59 > 0:11:04- What we're going to do is stack the auction with Bosworths.- Yeah!
0:11:04 > 0:11:05Go through the phone book...
0:11:05 > 0:11:08You said it was 25. Would that be your best price?
0:11:08 > 0:11:10I can do 20 for you,
0:11:10 > 0:11:14but I do think you've actually got... It's a good price.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17- And is this vellum? - Yes, it is a vellum cover.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Yes, vellum or pigskin cover.
0:11:19 > 0:11:25And it's all branded and stamped up, so that would be in your deed box.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27- I do like that. - Do you want to go for that?
0:11:27 > 0:11:31Today, Tonya, Tracey, this is...
0:11:31 > 0:11:33- not your life. - THEY LAUGH
0:11:33 > 0:11:35'A grave decision?
0:11:35 > 0:11:39'Let's wait and see. Still, it's two-up for the Reds.'
0:11:40 > 0:11:44- This looks quite unusual. - What on earth is that?
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Well, it's almost like a tipstaff.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50A tipstaff was effectively a truncheon during the 19th century.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Another weapon for Lara, there.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56Yeah. Well, weapons seem to be the theme today.
0:11:56 > 0:12:01But this is interesting because it's got a classical vase finial to it.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04What sort of condition is this one in?
0:12:04 > 0:12:06I think it's been used quite a lot.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09- You wouldn't want to be hit over the head with it.- No. How much is it?
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- That one's 75.- 75.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16Or you might be able to bargain me down.
0:12:16 > 0:12:21I know that it's perhaps not visually the nicest thing,
0:12:21 > 0:12:26but I thought he'd probably say 120, 130,
0:12:26 > 0:12:30so we're not... I think it's probably one to think about.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Definitely. If we can bargain down a bit more...
0:12:33 > 0:12:35So, what do you think to that, then?
0:12:35 > 0:12:38It's certainly got a bit of weight behind it.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- I think you've got it the wrong way up!- Have I?- Yeah.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45You'd be all right on the receiving end of the wooden bit!
0:12:45 > 0:12:47You can't get much impact on that!
0:12:47 > 0:12:51Who's first, then? Form an orderly queue.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53I don't know about you but I'm getting quite scared.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55We should just leave her to it.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Oh dear, I'm getting a bad name for myself at the moment.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00'Go away and have a think about it, but don't be too long.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04'It might just catch somebody else's eye.'
0:13:04 > 0:13:07We're coming at this with a will, aren't we?
0:13:07 > 0:13:08With a will and a weight.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12- How to get "a head."- Get a hat.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14I think we've cased the joint.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18'Oh, Jeremy! I'm sure they're tickled pink.
0:13:18 > 0:13:19'The Blues are, at least.'
0:13:19 > 0:13:22That's a nice piece. Do you know anything about it?
0:13:22 > 0:13:24- Absolutely nothing.- It's pink.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27It is a nice colour.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29It's got a pink lustre to it, which suggests...
0:13:29 > 0:13:32that it's made up in Sunderland.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36It's got that generic Sunderland lustre pink to it.
0:13:36 > 0:13:41It's a classic Victorian piece. Probably date-wise 1830s, 1840s.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44There's no markings on it or anything.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48No, not every factory put markings on the ware. What's the scene on it?
0:13:48 > 0:13:52Two ladies, a bit like you and I, having a walk down the steps there.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56- Just strolling without a care in the world.- Exactly.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Living the dream.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01It would be quite nice to get one under our belt.
0:14:01 > 0:14:06That's the sort of thing, if we could negotiate a little bit more...
0:14:06 > 0:14:10Would people be interested in buying something like that?
0:14:10 > 0:14:11There's a market for it.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13I'm not saying it's as strong as it was
0:14:13 > 0:14:16but there are certainly a lot of buyers out there for it.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20At auction, I think this is going to make £70, £80.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22That sort of price. How much is it?
0:14:22 > 0:14:2755. So I could see a moderate profit in it.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Right, I'm just going to go and have a word
0:14:29 > 0:14:32with the stallholder, see what negotiating I can do.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36'While Henry charms the stallholder, let's see what the Reds are up to.'
0:14:36 > 0:14:40- Or a vase...- Something pretty. - Yes.- We've got two manly things.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42We want something very girly.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45'Is that girly enough for you?'
0:14:45 > 0:14:48- She's called The Sun Worshipper. - The Sun Worshipper.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51It's very feminine, as a sculpture.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54- Does it float your boat?- No. - SHE LAUGHS
0:14:54 > 0:14:57'That's that one sunk, then.'
0:14:59 > 0:15:03Right, so, good news. I've been and had a word with the stallholder.
0:15:03 > 0:15:08- I managed to charm her down to £40. - Well, that's good.- Proud of you.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- Which is all right, isn't it?- Yep. - Yep, definitely.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15- We should definitely go for it. - Definitely. First buy.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19'Mary and Lara finally in the game, with one item under their belt.'
0:15:19 > 0:15:22- Two small things, something big with loads of money.- That's it.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26One down, two to go. Quite a bit of money left.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Here we are.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Look, ladies.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32The pressure's on.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35What's this? That's £45.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- It's quite old, isn't it? - It is. It's 1930s, isn't it?- Yes.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42And look, whatever it makes, isn't it a funny thing?
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- HE LAUGHS - Do you like it?
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- No.- All right, we'll put it there.
0:15:48 > 0:15:53'Oh, Jeremy, it's enough to make your blood boil, isn't it?'
0:15:53 > 0:15:56I tell you what I did spot. I don't know how you feel about washing.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00What are you trying to say, Henry? THEY LAUGH
0:16:00 > 0:16:03How about a Victorian wash set?
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- Right.- Right, OK... - Lead us to it.- Interesting.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10To be honest, on Bargain Hunt, I wouldn't normally point this out.
0:16:10 > 0:16:15Wash sets aren't that popular these days.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Auctioneers tend to say "decorated pieces."
0:16:18 > 0:16:21But this one is rather more unusual.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23It's made by a factory called Loselware,
0:16:23 > 0:16:26who are based in Kensington, London.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28- Oh, right.- The technique here is called "flow blue."
0:16:28 > 0:16:34They used ammonia, which reacted against the cobalt blue
0:16:34 > 0:16:38when it was fired, and basically blew blue everywhere.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42- How appropriate for the Blues, as well!- I know!
0:16:42 > 0:16:44- To be looking at flow blue. - Oh, brilliant.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46And we're flowing as well, so...
0:16:46 > 0:16:49'Nice to see you in full flow, Henry.'
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Is that for soap? Yes, it would...
0:16:52 > 0:16:55This has been quite badly restored.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58I mean, 145. If we can negotiate it down a little bit,
0:16:58 > 0:17:02because the aim of the game is to make as much as possible.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05- Shall we ask? Are you drawn to this? - Yeah, definitely.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Because it's such a large set, it's quite exciting.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Would 100 quid buy it?
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Because with all the damage...
0:17:12 > 0:17:14it's quite a negative, really, isn't it?
0:17:14 > 0:17:16- Yeah. I can do £100. - It's a big lump, isn't it?
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- You don't want to take it home with you.- No.- Shall go for it?- Yep.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- Shake his hand.- Thanks very much.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- And me. Thank you.- Great.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28# Does he wash up? Never wash up
0:17:28 > 0:17:30# Does he clean up? #
0:17:30 > 0:17:33'That's two down for the Blues. What a great team they make
0:17:33 > 0:17:36'with Henry holding the reins.'
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- Go on, high fives!- Go!- Let's go! - Follow the expert.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41'Look out, Jeremy.
0:17:41 > 0:17:42'Too late!'
0:17:42 > 0:17:44- How are you doing? - I'm doing really well.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46I want to buy something really big
0:17:46 > 0:17:48and spend the rest of the money in one big lump.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52- I'm on duty. - THEY LAUGH
0:17:52 > 0:17:54COCKNEY ACCENT: Now get out my pub!
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- Inviting, Lara.- Oh!
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- Can't hack the pace of Bargain Hunt. - 'Come on, girls.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03'You've still got one item to buy!'
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Seven minutes. We're up against it.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09'As is nearly the always the way on Bargain Hunt, time is running out.'
0:18:09 > 0:18:12To market, to market To buy a fat pig...
0:18:12 > 0:18:16You see, babies' plates, if they've been used, are usually scratched.
0:18:16 > 0:18:17That's not.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Would it make a difference that there's crackle glaze on it?
0:18:20 > 0:18:24No, that's what you'd expect at that date, 1930s.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26And... Wow, £10.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28I quite like that.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32- You're not spending big, though. - 'Couldn't agree more, Jeremy.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- 'The Blues aren't looking so relaxed now.'- So the clock's ticking?
0:18:35 > 0:18:39We've only got seven minutes. There's a bit Doulton there.
0:18:39 > 0:18:40Doulton vase.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- This one?- It looks like it, yes.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- Look at that. How much is he?- 45.
0:18:46 > 0:18:5045. If you could get a bit off that, in good condition...
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Well, it's up to you.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54I prefer the vase to the plate.
0:18:54 > 0:18:55- Tonya?- Yeah?- Vase or plate?
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Me? I'd go plate.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00I'd go vase.
0:19:00 > 0:19:01Toss a coin?
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Flip a coin? Toss a coin. Heads, plate. Tails, vase.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06We haven't got long so you better decide.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07How do you feel?
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- Stressed.- The pressure's on. - Stressed.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12The pressure's on for that last buy.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Do you know what I think we could possibly do?
0:19:14 > 0:19:18- Just go back to the...- I think that's the banker, really, isn't it?
0:19:18 > 0:19:20'The teams have got to make a hasty decision.'
0:19:20 > 0:19:24We want heads for the plate or tails for the vase.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27You're going to...
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Tails it is. The vase.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31The vase. The vase. OK.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34What is your best price on that one?
0:19:34 > 0:19:38- You're going to have to use your charms.- Powers of persuasion.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42- Please!- And we haven't got much time left. About two minutes.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46- Where was it again?- Down here. - Just down here.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49I'll be really generous. 30.
0:19:49 > 0:19:50That is really generous.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54- Ladies, that is a really good deal. - Thanks very much. We'll take it.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- Are you going to shake on it? - We will shake on it. Thanks.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03'Brilliant. The Reds have finally wrapped it up with the Doulton vase,
0:20:03 > 0:20:07'leaving the Blues chasing their last item.'
0:20:07 > 0:20:10- I'm getting nervous now.- 'Let's hope it's still there.'- Yes!
0:20:10 > 0:20:12- Right.- There it is.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15It's a dangerous tactic to play, when you like something,
0:20:15 > 0:20:19go off looking and hope that it's still going to be there.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- Well, on this occasion, it is. - Definitely paid off.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- What's your best price on that one? - Whatever I said less a fiver..
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- Right, OK.- I can't remember what I said.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31OK. 60?
0:20:31 > 0:20:35No, that doesn't work with what I said. Did I say 75?
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- So 70.- 65.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41- 65 and we'll take it away. - Take it off your hands.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Take it off your hands.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46- Flutter your eyelashes. - Yeah, flutter your eyelashes.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Please!
0:20:48 > 0:20:53- Oh, you're a superstar. Thank you! - Shake the gentleman's hand.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- Thank you very much!- Enjoyed that even more!- Thank you very much.
0:20:56 > 0:21:01Well, that's it. Glad we've finished now so you won't need to beat me.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05Depends whether we make a profit or not. It might come in handy later.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08'That's it. The clock has stopped.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11'Let's have a look at what our teams have bought.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13'The Reds kicked off the shopping
0:21:13 > 0:21:17'with this chandelier light fitting for £15.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20'And they were dead impressed
0:21:20 > 0:21:25'with this 124-year-old executor's ledger for £20.
0:21:25 > 0:21:30'For £30 they bought this charming Royal Doulton vase.'
0:21:30 > 0:21:34- So, girls, what did you spend overall?- We spent a measly £65.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38- How much?- They wouldn't let me spend big. I wanted to spend big
0:21:38 > 0:21:42- and they wouldn't let me.- I can't believe they wouldn't let you do it!
0:21:42 > 0:21:44- That's terrible!- I know.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47- Why were you so horrible to Trace?- I wanted to spend big!
0:21:47 > 0:21:50- You wanted to spend big? - I never stopped them.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52It's just like the politicians in this country.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Nobody's taking any responsibility.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Why should we give you 300 if you only spend 60... No.
0:21:58 > 0:22:04That's fine. Please may I have £235 of leftover lolly, please?
0:22:04 > 0:22:08- Thank you. Have you counted this? - I did.- I trust you.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Millions wouldn't, but there we go.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14And all of that goes over to Jeremy.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17You could buy a lot of packets of sweets with that.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19No, I'm going to set up a tent with this.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Good luck, girls. Go and have a cup of tea.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24And good luck, Jeremy, with your search.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought?
0:22:27 > 0:22:31'The Blues were tickled pink when they paid £40
0:22:31 > 0:22:33'for this Sunderland lustre jug.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37'Will they scrub up at the auction with this Victorian wash set
0:22:37 > 0:22:40'for £100?
0:22:40 > 0:22:43'And they hope to bludgeon their way to victory with this tipstaff,
0:22:43 > 0:22:46'costing £65.'
0:22:46 > 0:22:50- How much did you spend all round, you girls?- We spent £205.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54£205. Very good. So you've got £95 of leftover lolly about your person?
0:22:54 > 0:22:57- I do, yes, somewhere.- Can I have that, Mary, please?
0:22:57 > 0:22:58Yes, one moment.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01- There you go.- Thank you.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Now, H Meadows, you've got £95, my dear fellow,
0:23:04 > 0:23:06to go off and find something decent, yes?
0:23:06 > 0:23:09It's a good amount of cash but on this occasion,
0:23:09 > 0:23:11I'm not sure what I'm going to go for.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15Very good luck. Meanwhile, why don't we head off to Kelmscott Manor?
0:23:15 > 0:23:19William Morris? You've not seen anything yet.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26William Morris was born on 24 March 1834.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29He was educated at Marlborough College
0:23:29 > 0:23:33and attended Oxford University, where he discovered
0:23:33 > 0:23:35his love of the arts.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39Morris went on to become a successful designer and craftsman.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Under his direction, the company Morris and Co flourished
0:23:42 > 0:23:46into a fashionable decorating firm renowned for its wallpapers
0:23:46 > 0:23:47and textiles.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50He remains to this day one of Britain's
0:23:50 > 0:23:52most influential designers.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Morris was a tireless worker.
0:23:55 > 0:24:00As well as being a designer, and political theorist,
0:24:00 > 0:24:03he was also an environmental challenger,
0:24:03 > 0:24:06publisher, writer and poet.
0:24:06 > 0:24:12But by 1871, in order to escape the pressures of his work in London,
0:24:12 > 0:24:16he decided to seek out a country property,
0:24:16 > 0:24:19and came to the heart of the Cotswolds,
0:24:19 > 0:24:24on the banks of the River Thames, and discovered this -
0:24:24 > 0:24:25Kelmscott Manor,
0:24:25 > 0:24:28a house which he fell in love with
0:24:28 > 0:24:31and was to have an enormous and lasting influence
0:24:31 > 0:24:33on the rest of his life.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Originally known as Lower House,
0:24:39 > 0:24:44the property did not gain the title of "manor" until 1864.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48It was built around the year 1570 by Thomas Turner,
0:24:48 > 0:24:50and stayed with the Turner family as a working farm
0:24:50 > 0:24:54until Morris took up a tenancy in 1871.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58The original house has survived in almost its entirety
0:24:58 > 0:25:00and has been sympathetically restored
0:25:00 > 0:25:02as both a country home and a memorial.
0:25:02 > 0:25:07Plants and birds around Kelmscott had a huge influence on Morris
0:25:07 > 0:25:11and much of his work drew heavily on nature.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15It's here, just outside the privy, where it is said
0:25:15 > 0:25:17that William Morris got his inspiration
0:25:17 > 0:25:21for one of his most popular designs.
0:25:21 > 0:25:26He had watched thrushes removing strawberries
0:25:26 > 0:25:31from these strawberry plants, and then he went off
0:25:31 > 0:25:32to the drawing board.
0:25:37 > 0:25:38And this is it -
0:25:38 > 0:25:42the end result of a chance encounter
0:25:42 > 0:25:45outside the garden lavatory -
0:25:45 > 0:25:49a short length of printed material,
0:25:49 > 0:25:53referred to as the Strawberry Thief pattern.
0:25:53 > 0:25:59Isn't it beautiful? Actually, the piece itself is not spectacular.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03It's simply a cut-off piece from a larger bolt
0:26:03 > 0:26:05but it does illustrate perfectly
0:26:05 > 0:26:08the complexity of the design.
0:26:08 > 0:26:14One thing that William Morris really liked was medieval textile
0:26:14 > 0:26:18and what he's recreated here is a facsimile,
0:26:18 > 0:26:21if you like, of medieval needleworked textile.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25We've got a dark blue ground,
0:26:25 > 0:26:27densely-populated,
0:26:27 > 0:26:31scrolling organic foliage and plants.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34And then you've got the story interwoven,
0:26:34 > 0:26:36with the thrush
0:26:36 > 0:26:40and the strawberry which he's about to steal.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43But we've got other favourite flowers and plants
0:26:43 > 0:26:47of William Morris' included, like the tulip,
0:26:47 > 0:26:49these are strawberry blossom,
0:26:49 > 0:26:54and here are the spiky leaves of the strawberry plants themselves.
0:26:54 > 0:26:59So the crammed nature of this subject would have been
0:26:59 > 0:27:03extremely glamorous to his eye.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Charming, isn't it?
0:27:05 > 0:27:07The big question today is, of course,
0:27:07 > 0:27:10are any of our teams' purchases over at the auction
0:27:10 > 0:27:13likely to turn out to be a steal?
0:27:16 > 0:27:20For the auction today, we're heading just up the road to Bristol.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Our hosts are Dreweatts auction rooms
0:27:22 > 0:27:25and our auctioneer is Simon Raynor.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34- Simon, good morning.- Morning. Nice to see you again.- Lovely to be here.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Now, first up for the Reds is this slightly wacky
0:27:36 > 0:27:39cast iron continental rise-and-fall gadget.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Do you see any future in that?
0:27:42 > 0:27:46It's not something that's easy to find, if you wanted to replace it.
0:27:46 > 0:27:51You'd find it difficult. So for a lighting specialist it may have potential.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54- I'd guide it at £20-£30. - OK, £15 they paid.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57How many lighting specialists are there in the Bristol area?
0:27:57 > 0:27:59- There are some.- There are?- Yes.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Good. Well, let's hope they pick up on it.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Next is this hide-covered ledger,
0:28:04 > 0:28:09- recording the transactions of Mr Bosworth, deceased.- Yes.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11What's that worth, do you think?
0:28:11 > 0:28:14There's no intrinsic value there but I think for an historian
0:28:14 > 0:28:18or somebody who wanted to do research on it, it might have academic interest.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22Whether that translates to financial value, I don't know. I've said £20 to £30.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25OK, well, they paid 20, so there's a bit of hope there.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28That's two hopeful items. Thank you. And the Doulton pot?
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Doulton, it's in great condition, which is vital.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Not the most exciting piece of Doulton, possibly,
0:28:34 > 0:28:36but I'd have said £30 to £40.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38As you say, it's in good nick. They paid 30,
0:28:38 > 0:28:42so according to the estimates, they won't make massive losses.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45- They should make a little profit. - Hopefully.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47So they maybe don't need the bonus buy,
0:28:47 > 0:28:50but let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52Now, Tonya, Trace, this is your bonus buy moment.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56You spent that miserable £65...
0:28:56 > 0:28:58- THEY LAUGH - ..and gave the man 235.
0:28:58 > 0:29:03- Jeremy, what did you spend all that money on?- Let's see.
0:29:03 > 0:29:04- Ooh.- Ooh.
0:29:04 > 0:29:08- Or is it underneath? No, there it is. That's it.- What is it?
0:29:08 > 0:29:11It's a little Chinese jade tablet.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15All I'm going to say is the Chinese market is up. If this is old,
0:29:15 > 0:29:19and it's always very difficult to tell with these things,
0:29:19 > 0:29:21it could worth a lot more than I paid for it.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25- How much have you paid for it? - What do you think?
0:29:25 > 0:29:26£10?
0:29:26 > 0:29:28No, guess again.
0:29:28 > 0:29:2950.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31150.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34TRACEY GASPS AND LAUGHS
0:29:34 > 0:29:37So we're all really confident that this is going to work?
0:29:37 > 0:29:39And how much profit do you think there'll be?
0:29:39 > 0:29:42If the Chinese market picks it up
0:29:42 > 0:29:46and they see some potential in it, then it could make anything.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50- If they don't... - It might make nothing.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53- It might make nothing at all. It's a real punt.- Quite.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Couch it in those cautious terms,
0:29:55 > 0:29:59because you're quite right to do so, but the upside and the downside
0:29:59 > 0:30:02are there for you to decide - you lucky girls -
0:30:02 > 0:30:04when your moment comes.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07But right now, let's find out what the auctioneer
0:30:07 > 0:30:09thinks about Jeremy's jade.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15So, Simon. What d'you make of that little baby?
0:30:15 > 0:30:18Jade's a very strong market at the moment.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22A lot of oriental items are doing exceedingly well.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26But I think this is 20th century, so it's not the premier league.
0:30:26 > 0:30:31If there are going to be fireworks, it's over something like this.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33I think £50 to £80, but who knows?
0:30:33 > 0:30:36On the day, it could really take off.
0:30:36 > 0:30:42Let's hope so, because Jeremy has looked at it in terms of some sort
0:30:42 > 0:30:46of archaic interest, in that it has some serious age,
0:30:46 > 0:30:49with this stylised flower,
0:30:49 > 0:30:51and this rather curious cloud band
0:30:51 > 0:30:53running along the bottom.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56On the back, it has this seal mark.
0:30:56 > 0:31:01Jades do come in a great variety of shapes and colours, don't they?
0:31:01 > 0:31:03Yes, we have a spinach-green jade there.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05Nephrite jade, rather than jadeite
0:31:05 > 0:31:09But, if it IS 20th century, I think it'll struggle
0:31:09 > 0:31:12to make more than £50-£80. But, who knows?
0:31:12 > 0:31:16Right, so if the team go with £150,
0:31:16 > 0:31:19and it makes your estimate of £50-£80,
0:31:19 > 0:31:22- it will seriously scupper their chances?- Yes.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24Right. That's it for the Reds.
0:31:24 > 0:31:25Now, for the Blues.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28First up for Mary and Lara is the Sunderland lustre jug.
0:31:28 > 0:31:29D'you rate that?
0:31:29 > 0:31:33Not particularly. Victoriana is, I'm afraid, absolutely on its knees.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36It's a typical piece of Victoriana.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38In its favour, it's in quite good condition.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41Ten years ago, you'd have been looking at a lot more,
0:31:41 > 0:31:44but I think today it'll be around £30, £40.
0:31:44 > 0:31:48Well, they paid £40, so that may not be too bad.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51Next up is the Loselware bedroom set, which is remarkably complete.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55We just have a selection of pieces here, but to find a set
0:31:55 > 0:31:58with that many bits in reasonable condition
0:31:58 > 0:31:59is quite unusual, isn't it?
0:31:59 > 0:32:02It's a good, extensive collection.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04You get a lot for your money.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08But, again, it's a market which isn't that popular at the moment.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10So, what's your estimate?
0:32:10 > 0:32:12£60 to £80.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14OK, they paid £100.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17Henry really rated it, and there could be
0:32:17 > 0:32:20- a bit of egg on face here. - Let's hope not.
0:32:20 > 0:32:25Lastly, the tipstaff, which is pretty battered.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28Yes. It's a vicious-looking object. £30 to £40, I think.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30It's lived a very hard life.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33It's 1780s, isn't it?
0:32:33 > 0:32:36- Yes. George III. - OK, £65 paid.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39I think they'll take a bit of a tumble on that one.
0:32:39 > 0:32:43I think so. They'll need their bonus buy. Let's go and have a look at it.
0:32:43 > 0:32:47So, Mary, Lara. You gave Henry £95 for leftover lolly.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49Henry, what did you spend it on?
0:32:49 > 0:32:52We had a lot of fun going round the fair,
0:32:52 > 0:32:54so I thought I'd continue the fun, and I went for this!
0:32:54 > 0:32:58Oh, my gosh! What on earth is that?
0:32:58 > 0:33:02- It's a fly whisk. - That IS whacky.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05Back in the old Colonial days,
0:33:05 > 0:33:09if you were riding on a camel, or a horse, or something like that,
0:33:09 > 0:33:13it's be a luxury accessory to keep the flies away.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16Is this horse hair on the end?
0:33:16 > 0:33:18It could very well be,
0:33:18 > 0:33:21but this is worked ivory.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24It has a nice finial on the top.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26- Isn't that really well carved? - It is.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30Can I have a bird's eye? Lovely, look at that.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32It's growing on me.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34So, how much did you buy it for?
0:33:34 > 0:33:36I got it for £65.
0:33:36 > 0:33:40- Oh, OK. - What d'you think that might fetch?
0:33:40 > 0:33:42- I don't think it'll 'fly' at auction.- Oh!
0:33:42 > 0:33:45You won't be 'whisked away' on the profits,
0:33:45 > 0:33:48but there might be £10 or £20 profit in it.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Mary, are you going to have a whack?
0:33:50 > 0:33:52I'm not sure what to whack.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55- Just anything in the air. That's good.- And again!
0:33:55 > 0:33:57THEY LAUGH
0:33:57 > 0:33:59- Well, whatever you're into... - Somebody's impressed.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03Give him another one, a proper whack.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06There we go, super. Enough of that!
0:34:06 > 0:34:09Let's find out, for the viewers at home,
0:34:09 > 0:34:11what the auctioneer thinks about
0:34:11 > 0:34:14Henry's whisk, whip, whisk.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18Well, Simon, I bet you've never seen one of these before?
0:34:18 > 0:34:22It's an unusual piece. Lovely bit of carving, nice bit of ivory.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24If it was a paper knife, or something functional,
0:34:24 > 0:34:27it might have a bit more mileage at auction.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29Don't you get flies in Bristol?
0:34:29 > 0:34:32You get flies all over elsewhere in the country.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35What a good whacker it is. I hate flies.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Your estimate?
0:34:37 > 0:34:39- We might make £30 of it.- Really?
0:34:39 > 0:34:42Is that all? Henry paid £65 and really rates it.
0:34:42 > 0:34:46It's something made at least 80, or 100 years ago.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49I think, on this occasion,
0:34:49 > 0:34:53I have to be slightly with Henry, because it IS an unusual object,
0:34:53 > 0:34:56it's beautifully made, you might not have many flies around,
0:34:56 > 0:34:58but, my gosh, it's a good example.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01- Let's see on the day. - Absolutely!
0:35:10 > 0:35:12So, girls, excited?
0:35:12 > 0:35:14- Yes!- Really excited.
0:35:14 > 0:35:18You are in line, according to his estimates,
0:35:18 > 0:35:21- to make a profit on every single item.- Fingers crossed.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23Pretty cool, isn't it?
0:35:23 > 0:35:28Are his estimates accurate? If he is, you're home and dry.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31First up is the rise and fall fitting.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34Will you rise, or will you fall? Here it comes.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36Lot 520. Continental cast iron
0:35:36 > 0:35:38spring-loaded rise and fall mechanism.
0:35:38 > 0:35:39£20 for this lot.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41£20?
0:35:41 > 0:35:44- £20? £10?- 'Oh, Lord!'
0:35:44 > 0:35:47- £10.- Come on. - £10, £12 now.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49£15, £18.
0:35:49 > 0:35:50He's going on.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53At £15. Any more, now? You're out?
0:35:53 > 0:35:56Paid £15.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Gone at £15, then?
0:35:58 > 0:36:02Very nice work, girls.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04So, the last will and testament.
0:36:04 > 0:36:08Lot 521 now, the vellum-bound volume here,
0:36:08 > 0:36:09with me at £15.
0:36:09 > 0:36:10£18, around the roo. At £15.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12£18, anyone else?
0:36:12 > 0:36:13Oh, go on!
0:36:13 > 0:36:15Gone at £15.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19£18, now. At £15. All done. With me at £15.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21- Aw!- £15. Bad luck, girls.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Minus £5 on that.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26Now, Royal Doulton.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28Relief moulded. Lot 522.
0:36:28 > 0:36:29Here with me at £22.
0:36:29 > 0:36:30£25, now.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33At £22 pounds. £25, thank you. £28. £30. £32, now.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35At £30. The lady's bid at £30.
0:36:35 > 0:36:36£32?
0:36:36 > 0:36:38£35?
0:36:38 > 0:36:40At £32... £35, anywhere?
0:36:40 > 0:36:41At £32, all done?
0:36:41 > 0:36:44At £32, selling in the room at £32.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47£32, you've made £2 profit.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49That is absolutely super, isn't it?
0:36:49 > 0:36:52You were minus £5, you made a profit of £2,
0:36:52 > 0:36:56which means overall you're minus £3.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58Are you going to go with the £150 tablet?
0:36:58 > 0:37:00BOTH: No.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02THEY LAUGH
0:37:02 > 0:37:04- You're not?- No.- No.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06You're not going to take the tablets?
0:37:06 > 0:37:08We're going to stick.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12So, the decision's made. You're not going with the tablet.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14We're going to sell it anyway.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17Let's find out what happens to the Chinese jade. Here it comes.
0:37:17 > 0:37:23Lot 536, Chinese green jade plaque. Sure you've all viewed this.
0:37:23 > 0:37:28£100? £50 to start, then.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31£40? £45, I can take in the room, now.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33At £40. £45, now.
0:37:33 > 0:37:34£45, £50.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37At £50.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39£55, anywhere?
0:37:39 > 0:37:42All done at £50? £55, for anyone?
0:37:42 > 0:37:44All done at £50. We sell at £50, then.
0:37:44 > 0:37:49£50. Minus £100. You did make the right choice, girls.
0:37:49 > 0:37:54So, you could well have a winning score here with minus £3.
0:37:54 > 0:37:59- Bad luck, Jeremy, on the jade. - It could have gone either way.
0:38:10 > 0:38:14I'm afraid they're universally gloomy estimates
0:38:14 > 0:38:16on what you've purchased.
0:38:16 > 0:38:17Let's not despair about that.
0:38:17 > 0:38:22- You've always got the fly whisk to fall back on.- Absolutely.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24Which we all agree is a divine object,
0:38:24 > 0:38:26- with considerable potential. - Fingers crossed.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30Unless you happen to be a fly. First up is the Sunderland lustre jug.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34The Sunderland jug, lot 546. £20, for this lot?
0:38:34 > 0:38:39£20? £20? £10, surely for this lot?
0:38:39 > 0:38:40£10 is bid. £12, now, then?
0:38:40 > 0:38:43At £10. £12, anywhere now?
0:38:43 > 0:38:45£12, £15, £18. £20.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47£22?
0:38:47 > 0:38:51At £22 anywhere now, then? At £20. £22, for anyone?
0:38:51 > 0:38:53Not looking good, this.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55Thank you, £25?
0:38:55 > 0:38:56At £22, bid. £25, now?
0:38:56 > 0:38:58It IS worth more.
0:38:58 > 0:39:02The gentleman's bid. All done at £22?
0:39:02 > 0:39:04It's so miserable. Minus £18.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07That is not the correct result.
0:39:07 > 0:39:08The only way's up.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11Loselware, here we come.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14Good, extensive set, here. Lot 547.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17Interest on the book, here.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19Commission bids take us to £120.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22You could make it all back. £120? Only paid £100.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24£130? £30. Profit.
0:39:24 > 0:39:25At £130? All done at £130?
0:39:25 > 0:39:29We're selling in the room at £130, then.
0:39:30 > 0:39:31Thank you.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33There you go, girls.
0:39:33 > 0:39:37You are ALREADY plus £12, wiping out your previous losses.

0:40:13 > 0:40:14Thank you.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17£65? It wiped its face. Brilliant.
0:40:17 > 0:40:18You are plus £12.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21You didn't expect that, did you?
0:40:21 > 0:40:24Do you want to risk all, and go with the £65 fly whisk,
0:40:24 > 0:40:26in the winter, in Bristol?
0:40:26 > 0:40:28- Yes.- I think we should just go for it.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30- Yep.- You are?
0:40:30 > 0:40:32We're going to do it.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35You two girls are going to go for it?
0:40:35 > 0:40:39- I like your style. - Go hard, or go home, isn't it?
0:40:39 > 0:40:41Oh, I love it! They are determined, these kids.
0:40:41 > 0:40:42We'll go with the bonus buy.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46On to lot 552. The fly whisk. Carved ivory handle.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48Lot 552.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50Three commissioned bids, here.
0:40:50 > 0:40:51I shall start at £50.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53With me, £55, anywhere now, then
0:40:53 > 0:40:55At £50, here.
0:40:55 > 0:40:56£55? £55, thank you.
0:40:56 > 0:40:57£65? With you at £65.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59£70, anywhere?
0:40:59 > 0:41:02At £65, £70, or not?
0:41:02 > 0:41:04All done at £65, and selling...
0:41:04 > 0:41:07The right decision. It wiped its face.
0:41:07 > 0:41:11- No profit, no loss. No pain, no shame.- There we are.
0:41:11 > 0:41:12You've preserved your £12.
0:41:12 > 0:41:17Henry, you should be really pleased these girls had confidence in you.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20They stuck with you through thick and thin.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23- What a testament! - A good team.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25Very good.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28So you ARE plus £12. Don't say a word to the Reds.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31All will be revealed in a moment. Well done.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48So teams, we've been chatting at all to one another?
0:41:48 > 0:41:49ALL: No.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51No communication about the score?
0:41:51 > 0:41:55There's barely a sheet of Bronco between you teams today.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57It's really exciting.
0:41:57 > 0:42:01But sadly, as we don't have losers any more on Bargain Hunt,
0:42:01 > 0:42:03I have to announce who the runners-up are.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05And, they are the Reds.
0:42:05 > 0:42:06BOTH: Aw!
0:42:06 > 0:42:08It's as if you knew it, girls.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12I wonder why(!)
0:42:12 > 0:42:16It's just as well you didn't go with your bonus buy.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18That's the first bit.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20A score of minus £3 could be a winning score.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23and that IS your end number.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26You made a couple of pounds on the lovely Doulton pot,
0:42:26 > 0:42:28but, sadly, not a lot else.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31So. minus £3 is it. Are you happy with that?
0:42:31 > 0:42:34It could have been worse if we'd gone with our bonus buy.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Happily, you ignored my advice.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38So, there we go. You've been a great team.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41We've loved having you on the programme.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43But, the winners today are the Blues.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46Who are going to go home with £12.
0:42:46 > 0:42:50£6 each. Assuming you don't reward Henry in any way.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52There's your £6.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54- It was good, wasn't it? - Not bad.- We did well.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57Did you think you'd go home with a profit today?
0:42:57 > 0:43:00- We were confident. - You've been quietly confident.
0:43:00 > 0:43:04Great teams, great time. Join us soon for some more Bargain Hunting.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07- Yes?- ALL: Yes!
0:43:07 > 0:43:09'I know you're sitting there thinking,
0:43:09 > 0:43:12'I could have done better than THAT!'
0:43:12 > 0:43:14'Well, what's stopping you?
0:43:14 > 0:43:16'If you think you can spot a bargain,
0:43:16 > 0:43:18'go to our BBC website, and apply.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20'It'll be splendid to see you.'
