0:00:04 > 0:00:08Hello! Today we're at Alexandra Palace,
0:00:08 > 0:00:13once home to the BBC as its main transmitting centre.
0:00:13 > 0:00:18Today, this place is home to over 600 antique dealers.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22So, what are we waiting for? Let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Alexandra Palace first opened its doors in 1873
0:00:55 > 0:00:59as the People's Palace.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Today, 140 years later,
0:01:02 > 0:01:05the public are still flocking through its doors.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Joining them today are our Red and Blue teams,
0:01:07 > 0:01:11on the hunt for antiques, so let's have a look at what's coming up
0:01:11 > 0:01:13a little bit later in the programme.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17The Reds get confused not once...
0:01:17 > 0:01:24- Oh, no - it says 275, I thought it said 175!- Oh!
0:01:24 > 0:01:25..But twice.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29- Is that a toolbox?- It's a sewing box.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33- Oh, so you can't put your tools in?- Well, why not?- You could do.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38And watch out for the Blues, you might want subtitles.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Say that again to me.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43HE SPEAKS IN CANTONESE
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- I'll leave that one to you.- Yes!
0:01:47 > 0:01:51On Bargain Hunt today, we've got, for the Reds, friends Ryan
0:01:51 > 0:01:53and Kyle and for the Blues,
0:01:53 > 0:01:57a married couple, Jack and Sam. Hello, everybody.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01- ALL:- Hello.- Very nice to see you. So, Ryan, how did you two meet?
0:02:01 > 0:02:05I auditioned for a film of Kyle's that Kyle was directing.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Unfortunately, I didn't get the part, because I'm not that good,
0:02:09 > 0:02:12so we just ended up being friends from then on.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15So you like to do a bit of acting, do you?
0:02:15 > 0:02:17I'm in a dance troupe theatre company called Figs In Wigs.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- Does that mean you wear fig leaves and only wigs?- No!
0:02:20 > 0:02:24- It's not one of those raunchy ones, then?- No!
0:02:24 > 0:02:26- We wear wigs, but not figs.- Not figs.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- No.- We're not very good at dancing, any of us.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- We've gone up to Edinburgh a couple of times.- Done the fringe?
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Oh, very good. Well done for that.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38- And Kyle, you've just graduated from university?- Yes.- Tell us about that.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43Well, I studied film for three years, and managed to do quite a few short films,
0:02:43 > 0:02:45one about a deranged postman.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- Is that the one that you wanted Ryan to be in?- Sadly, yeah.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52- He didn't get the part. - Not mad enough, perhaps.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- So, have you had any luck with your short films?- We have indeed.
0:02:55 > 0:03:01- It was shown at the BFI.- Which is? - The British film Institute.- Nowhere better than that. Congratulations.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03- How do you think you'll get on today?- Oh, I don't know.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05We've seen many shows where people say,
0:03:05 > 0:03:08"I want something quirky and silver", so we won't go for silver.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12- Definitely?- Definitely. - Not going to go for quirky?
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Are you going to spend all the money or part of it?
0:03:15 > 0:03:19I think that's why it's there, you know, if we can spend it all.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23- We'll see how it goes. - It often doesn't work out like that, but we shall see.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Anyway, welcome to the show and very good luck.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Now, you lovely married couple, you. Jack, how did you two meet?
0:03:29 > 0:03:34We originally met in Hong Kong - Sam and I were doing a panto
0:03:34 > 0:03:41and we met in the back stage as we were doing a bit of backstage work.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45- So you had this peculiar encounter backstage and then it was wham?- Yes,
0:03:45 > 0:03:47and then we went out for a good long time
0:03:47 > 0:03:52- and then we parted our separate ways. - Trial separation?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- He married somebody else.- Oh, I see!
0:03:55 > 0:03:59And then about 20 years later...
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- School reunion.- Gosh, this IS a story, isn't it?
0:04:02 > 0:04:07- This could take up most of the programme.- It could. - So what were you doing in Hong Kong?
0:04:07 > 0:04:11I was actually born there, my parents were married in Shanghai
0:04:11 > 0:04:14and came over during the cultural revolution of Hong Kong
0:04:14 > 0:04:20- and that's where I grew up. - So what brought you back to Blighty from Hong Kong?- Sam.- Oh, was it?
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- Sam, what do you do? - I'm a hearing aid audiologist.
0:04:23 > 0:04:28Well, that's marvellous, isn't it? So you put the cans on the characters and go beep, beep, beep.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32- That's correct, yes. - What do you like to collect, Sam?
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- Antique hearing aids.- Oh, do you?! - Yes!- Have you got a trumpet?
0:04:35 > 0:04:40- I do, yes, I've got one going back to 1817.- It's amazing how they work.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43You get up to 20 to 30 decibels' gain from the trumpet
0:04:43 > 0:04:46and it's very directional. They do work.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49How do you think you are going to get on today on Bargain Hunt?
0:04:49 > 0:04:53A bit of either crash and burn, or rise like a phoenix out of the ashes.
0:04:53 > 0:04:58We've got a prediction now. The boys will be quaking in their boots.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Anyway, the money moment. £300 apiece. There's your £300.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04You know the rules, your experts await, and off you go.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06And very, very, very good luck.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Today, providing sparkling advice for the Reds,
0:05:09 > 0:05:11is expert Anita Manning.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15Hoping to enlighten the Blues is the inimitable Charles Hanson.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18And they're off. Shopping time starts now.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25Guys, we've got 300 smackeroos to spend,
0:05:25 > 0:05:27what do we want to spend it on?
0:05:27 > 0:05:31- We don't want to buy anything silver, Anita.- Oh, right, no silver? OK.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- Something in pairs. - Something in pairs?
0:05:34 > 0:05:38- And a nice, big piece of furniture. - You want something big?- Yeah!
0:05:38 > 0:05:42Oh, I love you! Look, let's go.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47Anita and the Reds are thinking big. What are the Blues' tactics?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- You speak Cantonese, don't you? - Yes.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53And the market is so buoyant in all things Chinese,
0:05:53 > 0:05:58if we can do a deal in Cantonese, it might really help give us that professional feel.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- Yes, it would be cool. - So if I said what is your best price in Cantonese,
0:06:01 > 0:06:03for a Chinese pot, how do I say it?
0:06:03 > 0:06:04Er...
0:06:04 > 0:06:06HE SPEAKS CANTONESE
0:06:09 > 0:06:10Say that again to me.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12HE REPEATS IT
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- I'll leave that one to you.- Yes!
0:06:17 > 0:06:23- That's Charles told.- Can we go to any stall?- Go anywhere you like.- OK.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30That turquoise stone and scroll brooch there, is that hallmarked?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- Yeah, that one there.- This one? - Just in front. Like it?
0:06:33 > 0:06:36It's pretty, but it's not something I would wear.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Beauty isn't liking it, beauty is in the profit.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- Out of interest, how much? - I'll give you a special price.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47- Oh, you're a good lady! We like that!- 50.- £15!- 50.
0:06:47 > 0:06:52- I said 50.- Sorry! I thought you said 15, sorry about that.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54- At 15, I like it more. - What is it in Mandarin?
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- Not Mandarin, Cantonese. - Sorry, Cantonese.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58THEY SPEAK CANTONESE
0:06:58 > 0:07:00I'll think about it.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01OK!
0:07:01 > 0:07:03THEY LAUGH
0:07:03 > 0:07:09Looks like you're getting the hang of the lingo, Charles. Well done.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13See, I really like this one. It's really nice.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18- What have you got there, boys? - I don't know, we found the decanter and it looks really nice.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- Tell me why you like it. - I don't know!
0:07:20 > 0:07:25- You said young 'uns like the Art Deco stuff and I think it's really nice. - Got a full set there.
0:07:25 > 0:07:31It is a lemonade set, so it's the type of thing that a stylish group
0:07:31 > 0:07:36of people would have in the summertime to take out onto the patio.
0:07:36 > 0:07:41It's funny, because you thought you would like traditional stuff, and what happened?
0:07:41 > 0:07:45- You went straight into 20th century design!- We're classy guys!
0:07:45 > 0:07:49- We've got classy taste. - Stylish guys.
0:07:49 > 0:07:54- There's a bit of marking. Would that affect it?- Yes, the gilt has rubbed off a wee bit on here.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Let's go right round. It would be better if it was 100%.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02- But are there any chips or cracks? - No.- It's at 85.
0:08:02 > 0:08:07It says 85 on the bottom. What's the best you can do on this?
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Um...
0:08:09 > 0:08:1285...
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- 65?- 65.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19- So could we get it for 60? - There is a bit of damage on it.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23It's a bit rubbed on there, isn't it? Yes, 60.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28- 60. Is that the very...? - That's the very best.- Uh-huh.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32Tell me why you like it, cos you seem quite enthusiastic as well.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Yeah, I figured it's very classy, and I think it has a set as well
0:08:35 > 0:08:41- and I think we can get a good deal for that.- I think we should get it. - 60, is it, OK?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Hope you do well with it!
0:08:43 > 0:08:48Well, that is what I like about these boys - it's a done deal before I'm even there!
0:08:50 > 0:08:56One down for the decisive Reds. The lads are off to a great start.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Charles, I quite like this.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03It's a guy called Sam Hall, who was born the same year as me, that's why I like it.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07- What year?- 1967. - What a wacky vase, though, isn't it? - Absolutely beautiful.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09- How much is it?- £600.- How much?
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- 600, so we can't afford it. - Can we knock it down?
0:09:12 > 0:09:17- I don't think we'll get that much off!- Guys, we've had ten minutes already.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20How much?
0:09:21 > 0:09:25Those Reds aren't wasting any time, but do they know what they're talking about?
0:09:25 > 0:09:30You can imagine having a hard day's graft, put your tools in this.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- Is it a toolbox or a sewing box? - It's a sewing box.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37- Oh, so you can't put your tools in. - Well, why not?- You could do.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- Does that put you off? - No, not at all.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Put it together again and show me it all coming out.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47- I just think it's cool.- It's a concertina effect, isn't it?
0:09:49 > 0:09:52I can just imagine walking down, carrying it.
0:09:52 > 0:09:57- And then you open it up, so it's... - OK, pull it out, all right.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00And it's got a little label there, for Needles.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- There's one missing here. - And there's one missing here.
0:10:03 > 0:10:04So you've got to think about that.
0:10:04 > 0:10:09It's made of oak and is probably from the 1930s - it's got a kind of Art Deco look about it.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13- It's very nice.- What's the best you can do on this?
0:10:13 > 0:10:14Let's have a look.
0:10:14 > 0:10:19I'm asking 45, so for you, because you're the Reds, 30.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24No!
0:10:24 > 0:10:26'Nice try, Anita!'
0:10:26 > 0:10:28- I've got to make £5 profit.- 28?
0:10:28 > 0:10:32- No, 30 is a fair price. - Thank you very much.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- OK, are these boys not so decisive? - They're great.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39They don't need me here.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Anita, those boys may live to regret going it alone.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47They bought two items in 20 minutes,
0:10:47 > 0:10:50but the Blues haven't bought a thing.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56- I like the lamp. - Is it a period deco lamp?- Yes.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00- Look at that, Sam.- That's beautiful. - Is that doing it for you?
0:11:00 > 0:11:04- Yes, very much.- Tell me why.- Um, I've just bought a new desk, so...!
0:11:05 > 0:11:09- Desk furniture is in my head. - Is this personal shopping now?
0:11:09 > 0:11:11I would personally buy this, yes.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14We'd have to get it down a little, as it says 245 on it.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- Jack, do you like it?- It's quite nice, but I've seen a couple of other
0:11:18 > 0:11:20items on the same stand that catch my fancy as well.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25- We might have a double deal, then. - Think of those great skyscrapers of the '30s going up,
0:11:25 > 0:11:27think of New York at that time.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30It's got that great feel, hasn't it? It's so striking.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- What's the best you can do?- You want me to give you a Bargain Hunt price?
0:11:33 > 0:11:38- Oh, yes, please. We could use one. - It's our first purchase.- 195.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42BOTH: 195. Looking longingly up here for support!
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- I like it.- Is it a risk? - It's a risk at auction.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49In the right specialised sale, it could make 200, 250.
0:11:49 > 0:11:54- In a more parochial country auction, it could make £30.- Ah.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57- It's a complete gamble. - I like it.
0:11:57 > 0:12:03Charles isn't convinced. And Anita is having doubts about her boys.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06I think they wanted to buy traditional antique items
0:12:06 > 0:12:10and the first thing they went for was a 1950s lemonade set because
0:12:10 > 0:12:15it was glittery and they liked it and it captured their imagination.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19And then they bought a sewing box! They thought it was a toolbox!
0:12:21 > 0:12:25I'm probably the biggest tool you know anyway, for thinking that, so.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- Shows how much we know about antiques!- Yeah!
0:12:28 > 0:12:33- They might even make a profit on it! - As you know, you can never tell.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36All will be revealed at the auction.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39It's got a great style, where were you in the '30s?
0:12:40 > 0:12:43That's a bit of a personal question!
0:12:43 > 0:12:48I'd have to say that these two didn't exist in the 1930s, thank you very much.
0:12:48 > 0:12:53I mean, we're children of the '60s, right?
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Do you rate that?
0:12:55 > 0:12:59I think it's got great style, which in the right high-living home
0:12:59 > 0:13:02will take pride of place, but going to auction is a bit of a gamble.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- But we like it.- Is it 1950s, then?
0:13:04 > 0:13:10Well, we've been told Deco in style, '30s, '50s is maybe its age range.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14- And is it £60?- We wish it was, Tim. - How much is it?- It's on at 195.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- How much?- 245.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19245 on, but you know, Tim, when your lady loves something,
0:13:19 > 0:13:22you've got to go with it and salute her.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25I can't influence you in any way, shape or form
0:13:25 > 0:13:29and if that is the light of your life, darling, then you have to turn it on, right, Charles?
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- Tim, you need to ignite it. - Ignite, that's it.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36- I think you're well and truly ignited.- We shall be glowing.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40Seems like they've won Charles over, but I'm not so sure.
0:13:40 > 0:13:45After a bold start, our decisive Reds can have some fun browsing.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Nice examples of what they are,
0:13:47 > 0:13:50but they haven't got that wee bit of krrrrk!
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- Yes.- That's a technical term. - LAUGHTER
0:13:58 > 0:14:00It's all good fun and colourful pottery, this,
0:14:00 > 0:14:04- isn't it?- Yeah.- I don't know, though.- Is it not your bag?
0:14:04 > 0:14:06It's not turning them on!
0:14:10 > 0:14:16- 1,195.- Yeah.- No, we can't afford that, mate. Shall we go?
0:14:17 > 0:14:21- I like the birdcage, me. - You like the birdcage?
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- No-one would buy that though, would they?- Somebody will buy it.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29Those indecisive Blues are still considering that lamp.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33- What did I say, 195?- Look at me.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38- How about me?- 180. - Oh, my god, 180.- 180.- 180.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42- I can't do any more than that.- Up to you.- I think I'd like the light.
0:14:42 > 0:14:47- 180, done.- 180 - thank you very much. - Are you buying it?- BOTH: Yes!
0:14:47 > 0:14:52- You've bought it. She's bought it. - Well, you wanted decisive!
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Yes, good work, team.
0:14:55 > 0:15:00- Thank you.- They bought it. Finally - a decision after 40 minutes.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Let's hope it's a good one.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04It's all scratched.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10- It's a bit...- Ah, but it's not, it's not broken or anything,
0:15:10 > 0:15:12and how much have we got left?
0:15:12 > 0:15:16- 210.- 210.- And we need to leave you at least a quid.- At least.
0:15:16 > 0:15:21You can leave me a pound and I'll get something. Don't worry.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Anita, can you really buy something for a pound?
0:15:24 > 0:15:28You know you like photography? It's photographic tints.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31A little mixing thing for photos, colouring postcards, prints
0:15:31 > 0:15:37- and lantern slides. I quite like that. Charles? - Yes?- Are the tints still in there?
0:15:37 > 0:15:41- Jack's a keen photographer and this is...- A tinting kit.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45I thought if somebody collected those old lanterns,
0:15:45 > 0:15:48this might just finish off their collection. It's £15.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51So, what would its purpose be?
0:15:51 > 0:15:55- Just to colourise black and white pictures.- So you're tinting them?
0:15:55 > 0:15:59OK, fine. You can see here that you've got the blues and the browns
0:15:59 > 0:16:01and the crimsons and the yellows.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- I've never seen one before. - Neither have I, and I like it.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- How early is it, madam? - I'm not quite sure.
0:16:07 > 0:16:13- I think it looks to be what, 1930s? - Yes.- How sweet, look at that.
0:16:13 > 0:16:18- The original case. That's nice. - Is 15 the best?- Yes. Absolutely.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21That, to me, is very reasonable for what it is,
0:16:21 > 0:16:25because it's got the instructions and everything.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- What you think, honey? - I think it's worth a punt, actually.
0:16:28 > 0:16:33- It's your sort of thing, isn't it? - Yes, but it's also kind of specialised, isn't it?
0:16:33 > 0:16:37But it could finish off a collection, someone that collects postcards.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40You're very clever, because there's a huge market for postcards
0:16:40 > 0:16:45and such cards and if you say to a collector who wants to add
0:16:45 > 0:16:49a bit of interest, for £15, I've never seen one before.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53For £15, you can't go wrong. Between friends, madam, the best price is?
0:16:53 > 0:16:59- £15!- £15. Going.- Going. - Gone.- We'll take it.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04The Blues are developing nicely. That's a second purchase.
0:17:04 > 0:17:11- 15 minutes, 15 minutes. - Come on.- You heard her, chaps. You need to press on.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15Are those Blues regretting not paying enough attention to their expert, Charles?
0:17:15 > 0:17:19I think we're going to have to take a lot more of what he says
0:17:19 > 0:17:22on board and I won't just go straight for the heart.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Listen to his advice.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Maybe I ought to be more tough, but it doesn't matter.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30Two items down, our second one is very good,
0:17:30 > 0:17:34but now we're looking for the big third. The big finale, the big win.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35Fighting talk, Carlos.
0:17:37 > 0:17:42- How much are they?- £85. - Round about there? Uh-huh.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46- What do you think about them, guys? - I like them, but we found this clock.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50- Oh, I love your decisiveness, boys.- It's only 175.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54That the Empire State Building, isn't it?
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- I think it's French, though. - I like it.- I think it's really good.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00What drew you to that?
0:18:00 > 0:18:05- It's got style, it's big as well. - They wanted a big bit.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09- They wanted something big. - It's going to be too expensive.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13- What's the best you can do for it? - I suppose 220, really.- It says...
0:18:13 > 0:18:18Oh no, it says 275. I thought it said 175. Oh!
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Oh, no!
0:18:20 > 0:18:24- What are we going to do? - How much have we got left?
0:18:24 > 0:18:29- 210, we've got left.- And you need to leave me a pound at least.- At least.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33- Give me the 210 if it's cash and I'll give you a pound back.- Yes?
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- Is that all right? Are you happy with that? - Fantastic, that'd be incredible.
0:18:36 > 0:18:43Boys you have one wonderful deal here, because that is a clock of great style, isn't it?
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Well, it's the case that's worth the money, really.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49- That's a beautiful, it's a burr walnut.- Thank you very much.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53- Thank you. - You've made these two laddies happy!
0:18:53 > 0:18:55I'm sorry not to leave you much money!
0:18:55 > 0:19:01The Reds finish with a big buy and not a lot of change for Anita.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05With ten minutes to go, the Blues are cutting it fine.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07That's a really nice cane, actually.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Bronze mounted cane, for you guys, I could do it for 45.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14- Is it a marriage? - Yes, I wonder, the actual mount.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16I wonder whether it's always been together.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20Obviously, time is running out now, we've got ten minutes.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24- What do you think?- I've got to think about that one. Don't look at me.
0:19:24 > 0:19:29- What's the best on this little cane here? Madam?- That was my best.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33- I'll give you puppy eyes.- Puppy eyes! I want little beggy puppy.
0:19:33 > 0:19:3540 for little beggy puppy.
0:19:35 > 0:19:4040? All right, 40. Do you think that would be a workable deal with 40?
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- Provenance pedigree is always important.- Pedigree?
0:19:43 > 0:19:45- It's a retriever. - LAUGHTER
0:19:45 > 0:19:48- Where did it come from, madam? - From a gentleman's house.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51If it comes from a gentleman's residence, you think, well,
0:19:51 > 0:19:54it's got good pedigree. Time is the essence.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58I would value this at auction between 30 and 50, but I think it's got legs.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01- What do you think, Jack? - Let's speculate and accumulate.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03- And the very best, madam? - I'll do 40, but that's it.
0:20:03 > 0:20:09Eight minutes to go. Jack, pressure's on. Four minutes to go.
0:20:09 > 0:20:14- You're a newly married couple, let's see some love now.- OK, 40.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20At last, the Blues make their final purchase and I'm calling, "time's up"!
0:20:20 > 0:20:23So let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29They spent £60 on a 1950s lemonade set.
0:20:32 > 0:20:37They're pinning their hopes on an oak sewing box, picked up for £30.
0:20:37 > 0:20:44And finally, an Art Deco wall clock that set them back £209. Wow.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49- Now, is it true what I hear, that you spent the whole lot?- Yeah!
0:20:49 > 0:20:53All bar what? One pound coin!
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Now, this is not going to be easy for Anita to go out
0:20:56 > 0:20:59and find you a one-pound Leftover Lolly item.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03Anita, I don't know what you're going to do, darling.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06- I'm going have a cup of tea, first. - Is that what you're going to do?
0:21:06 > 0:21:09There is not enough there for the cup of tea! Good luck.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13Well done, boys. Meanwhile, why don't we remind ourselves what the blue team bought, eh?
0:21:13 > 0:21:17They were turned on by an Art Deco style chrome plated desk lamp
0:21:17 > 0:21:22that cost them an eye-watering £180! Ouch!
0:21:23 > 0:21:29The 1930's photographic hand tinting set was acquired for £15.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32And this rosewood cane set them back £40.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- How much did you spend all round? - 235.
0:21:35 > 0:21:40235, please may I have £65 of Leftover Lolly. Jack is the man.
0:21:40 > 0:21:41Well done, Jack Sprat.
0:21:41 > 0:21:46- Thank you. £65 and that goes straight across to Charles Hanson. - Thanks, Tim.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48- This is a nice moment for you, Charles.- It is.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51And Jack really is a man because he speaks fluent Cantonese.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54So I'm determined to buy a Chinese vase.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58- Well, as they say in Cantonese, "yeh lau".- I beg your pardon?
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Which is "fabulous". "Yeh lau".
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Well, thank you and enjoy your tea.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07Meanwhile, we are heading off to Fenton House in Hampstead and it is super.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19Fenton House, here in north London,
0:22:19 > 0:22:23is a treasure trove of a variety of collections.
0:22:23 > 0:22:29It is one of the oldest and grandest and largest houses in Hampstead.
0:22:29 > 0:22:35And today, I am here to look at an extraordinary group of ceramics.
0:22:45 > 0:22:51In fact, Fenton House is stuffed full of precious porcelain,
0:22:51 > 0:22:54largely protected in glazed cabinets.
0:22:54 > 0:23:00Which is necessary, because this is delicate stuff and as I say, precious.
0:23:00 > 0:23:05But I persuaded the powers that be to let us have a little meander.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09And the first bit of my selection is a teapot.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13But a teapot that does not look quite like many teapots.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16It is Meissen, it dates from around 1720,
0:23:16 > 0:23:20and was modelled by a man called Kirchner.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23What is going on here? OK, fine. Porcelain came from the East.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27So, for Kirchner to model this teapot
0:23:27 > 0:23:31on his perception of a Chinaman is something to do.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Because this plump gentleman is squatting,
0:23:35 > 0:23:39with his toe-toes coming from underneath some sort of kimono.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41He is standing on a shell
0:23:41 > 0:23:46and the spout of the teapot is in the form of a beaked animal.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50Behind his head is a mythical creature,
0:23:50 > 0:23:53some sort of female satyr. And of course he is wearing a hat
0:23:53 > 0:23:56and on top of the hat is a frog. So, you see,
0:23:56 > 0:23:59this is seriously weird.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03Next door, we have something that is simply luxury.
0:24:03 > 0:24:08Here we have got a parrot modelled by Kaendler in Meissen,
0:24:08 > 0:24:12around about 1740 or so, standing on a rocky outcrop.
0:24:12 > 0:24:18And so precious was this piece of porcelain, that round about 1750,
0:24:18 > 0:24:22they decided to protect it with some ormolu mounts.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26Now, the mounts, these scrolly gilded bits at the bottom,
0:24:26 > 0:24:28are supposed to represent gold.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30They are not actually solid gold,
0:24:30 > 0:24:34they are cast bronze which has then been fired with a gold mixture,
0:24:34 > 0:24:40the "or"-molu, which gives it this incredibly rich colour.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43They form the base that the parrot is attached to.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47And then it sits in arrangement called a bocage.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Which is a fake clump.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Half the clump is made of gilt-bronze,
0:24:52 > 0:24:56and the other half of the clump is made of porcelain flower heads.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00Each of the flower heads represent a carnation.
0:25:00 > 0:25:05How does a person create, out of this insubstantial substance,
0:25:05 > 0:25:07all these intricate little parts
0:25:07 > 0:25:10to give you the perfect representation of a flower head?
0:25:10 > 0:25:13And then colour it and fire it in such a wonderful way?
0:25:13 > 0:25:18I mean, that is just so clever.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22But the story of the porcelain at Fenton House is not all German-related.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Because if I pick up this little fellow,
0:25:25 > 0:25:27you will see as rare a treat
0:25:27 > 0:25:31as you're ever likely to encounter in porcelain.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35We have got a crowd of kids, and the centre of the attention
0:25:35 > 0:25:39is a little brown box with a screen on it.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41And no, it is not a telly.
0:25:41 > 0:25:47Because this thing was made in the factory at Chelsea in around 1755.
0:25:47 > 0:25:52And it shows three children being riveted by a peepshow.
0:25:52 > 0:25:57In the 18th century, these boxes had printed images put inside them
0:25:57 > 0:25:59and to entertain yourself,
0:25:59 > 0:26:01you looked through the lens at the front.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04And the girl, well, she just can't get away
0:26:04 > 0:26:06from the peepshow.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08But look at her dress - the detail.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12Those little spots, all of which represent silk brocade.
0:26:12 > 0:26:17And if I turn it upside down, you can see there is a solid gold frame
0:26:17 > 0:26:19and the bottom is a piece of agate.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22This object is called a bonbonniere.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Which is a kind of fancy French word for a sweetie box.
0:26:25 > 0:26:31Because if I pull gently at the mount, the agate panel opens
0:26:31 > 0:26:33and reveals an enamelled interior
0:26:33 > 0:26:36into which you'd have a delicious little piece
0:26:36 > 0:26:39of candy, or orange peel to suck on
0:26:39 > 0:26:44while you are amused by these happy little children on the top.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46What could be more perfect than that?
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Well, you never know.
0:26:48 > 0:26:55Perhaps we will find something more perfect today over at the auction with our teams.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Maybe!
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Well, we have trotted out from Ally Pally to Tring,
0:27:10 > 0:27:12to Tring Market Auctions
0:27:12 > 0:27:16where our auctioneer today is Stephen Hearn.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- Stephen, hello.- Good morning, Tim. - Lovely to be here.
0:27:18 > 0:27:23The first item is the lemonade set, straight from Woolworth, 1955.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25How do you rate that?
0:27:25 > 0:27:29Well, I think probably costing between £2 in 1955,
0:27:29 > 0:27:31we have moved on to nearer £50.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35That's not bad, is it? No, because we have the six glasses and the jug.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37All are in pretty good nick.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41- Yes, a little bit of gilding missing off the jug.- Anyway £50, you reckon.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44They paid £60. So they are not far off.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48Ryan and Kyle are a couple of punters. They went with this,
0:27:48 > 0:27:52which is, in engineering terms, quite a feat in its own right.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Well, it is very simple in design but doesn't it work well!
0:27:55 > 0:27:59Doesn't it? The volume of little bits and pieces that you could house
0:27:59 > 0:28:02in this thing is considerable.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04There we go, perfect. I think it's absolutely gorgeous.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08Gorgeous, but not easy to get a good price for.
0:28:08 > 0:28:13- What sort of price do you think you might get for it? - A jolly good price would be £50.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17- Well, they only paid 30.- Let's hope we get a jolly good price.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Well, let's hope so.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22And the last item, Stephen, certainly isn't a country piece
0:28:22 > 0:28:26because this is incredibly evocative of the 1930s, isn't it?
0:28:26 > 0:28:28- It certainly is.- What a wall clock.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31You have got the mirror for the morning duties, looking at the tie.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34It is definitely commuter land, isn't it?
0:28:34 > 0:28:39- It is, in Betjeman terms, Metro Land.- Metro Land clock.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Which is going to be quite difficult to get a good price for it.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45- Do you?- Yes, I think the size is going to let it down.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47Great walnut burl, though.
0:28:47 > 0:28:48It's a lovely clock.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51There's nothing wrong with it, it's just on the large side.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54- OK, what estimate would you put on it?- I would put on £120,
0:28:54 > 0:28:57- £150.- £209 they paid.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01- Going to be a struggle.- When hasn't it always been a struggle?
0:29:01 > 0:29:04- Life is a struggle, Tim. - That is very, very true.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06And on that basis, we had better nip off quick
0:29:06 > 0:29:08and have a look at their bonus buy.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13Now, you naughty...! I mean I honestly, you two!
0:29:13 > 0:29:16You've done this deliberately to wind poor Anita up.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19You spent £299, you gave her a miserable pound.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21- What has she come up with? - What is that?
0:29:21 > 0:29:23Is that a poodle?
0:29:23 > 0:29:28What we have here is little glass animals, a chic Parisian poodle.
0:29:28 > 0:29:29And two wee doggies.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31HE LAUGHS
0:29:31 > 0:29:33It is very difficult to find something for £1!
0:29:33 > 0:29:38I just approached the dealers and said, "Anything for £1?"
0:29:38 > 0:29:42And eventually, some nice trader sold me these.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44- Do you mind if we have a look? - Certainly.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48- Are you underwhelmed by these? - Yes, totally underwhelmed. Um...
0:29:48 > 0:29:51Have you got any change?
0:29:51 > 0:29:54It looks like you got them in a Christmas cracker.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58You hang on to the poodle and I've got the babies.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02They've got black eyes on white blobs and green bodies.
0:30:02 > 0:30:07And you have got a clear body with white details and then black eyes.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10- That is quite a glass-making tour de force. - They are possibly Italian
0:30:10 > 0:30:13and these would have been made out of coloured rods
0:30:13 > 0:30:15and a great deal of skill is involved
0:30:15 > 0:30:18- in making this type of thing. - I like them.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22- Do you? I don't know. - Come on, credit where credit is due.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24The girl has done well.
0:30:24 > 0:30:29I enjoyed the challenge and I enjoyed you guys spending all that money.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31But for the audience at home,
0:30:31 > 0:30:36let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about the little dogs.
0:30:37 > 0:30:42Now, Stephen, I must explain that Anita Manning only had £1 to go out
0:30:42 > 0:30:47and spend on her bonus buy, and she found the poodle and the pups.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50I think we can send Anita out every day
0:30:50 > 0:30:52if she comes back with this for £1!
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Would it be Murano then, do you think?
0:30:54 > 0:30:58Almost certainly Murano, possibly of the '50s.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01But for £1, I think she has done extremely well.
0:31:01 > 0:31:02- £1 well spent, methinks. - Certainly was.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05How much might you get for this lot?
0:31:05 > 0:31:09Well, I think that £1 is going to result in something nearer to £40.
0:31:09 > 0:31:13- Never!- I think it will. - Wow, that is amazing.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15Of course, it will all depend on whether the team
0:31:15 > 0:31:17take Anita's advice and go with it.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19Anyway, that is it for the Reds.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22Now for the Blues and the first item is the desk lamp.
0:31:22 > 0:31:27- Yes, this one is in good order. - Not old, is it?- No, it's not old.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29It is a copy of something from the 1930s.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33- It is not a bad-looking piece. - Any idea of price level?
0:31:33 > 0:31:37- Close to £50 or £60.- How much? - £50 or £60.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41- £180, they paid.- I don't know quite how I could get to that figure!
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Well, when I saw them about to buy,
0:31:43 > 0:31:46I think I said it might bring about £60.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48And I was feeling quite optimistic.
0:31:48 > 0:31:52- Well, I'm glad you agree.- I agree with you. Absolutely spot on with you.
0:31:52 > 0:31:57I would love it to get £180. But because it's not old, it is very unlikely.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00Now, moving on. We have the photograph tinting set.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04You've got to be a photographic nut to want this, haven't you?
0:32:04 > 0:32:09- It was a very desirable piece in the 1920s.- Yes, when all you have was black and white
0:32:09 > 0:32:13you were desperate to give Gran a bit of a flush.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15- Nice rosy cheeks.- Nice rosy cheeks. - I don't think
0:32:15 > 0:32:18- it has been used.- No, brilliant.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Well, I suppose it's worth something. Not quite sure what.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23- It is worth £40.- Is it? Is it, really?
0:32:23 > 0:32:28- It certainly is.- £15 they paid.- Well, they did well.
0:32:28 > 0:32:32- Now, last up is their walking stick. - The cane itself is Victorian.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36But it is probably a late-20th century handle.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39Yeah, that is the most charitable thing you can say about it.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41What's the estimate? £20?
0:32:41 > 0:32:45- It'd do 20.- Might it do £40?- I doubt it.- There we go.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49They paid £40. That could be the problem. In which case, they need their bonus buy.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52So let's go and have a look at it.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56- Now, Sam. Jack. Happy? - Yes.- Absolutely.
0:32:56 > 0:33:02You spent, my darlings, £235. You gave Charles Hanson £65.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05- Charles, what did you spend it on? - I found this.- Ooh, that is nice.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09What we have got is a very, very fine double-ended scent bottle.
0:33:09 > 0:33:14Circa 1880, give or take 10 years, roll-crested at either end.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18And it just oozes Victorian etiquette.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22- Not hallmarked, so we would call it white metal. But I quite like it. - It's lovely.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26- Is that crystal, or is it glass? - It is a faceted lead glass.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29Often, glass cut like that is called crystal,
0:33:29 > 0:33:30but it is a misnomer really.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Crystal glass is a sort of term for cut class that shines.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37- Sparkles, which it does.- Yes. - And it's lovely.- It's lovely.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40- You like it?- I do. - Do you like it, Jack?- Absolutely.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43How much did you pay for it? How secure is it?
0:33:43 > 0:33:45It would happily make between 50 and £80
0:33:45 > 0:33:49- on the right day and it cost me £38.- Wow!
0:33:49 > 0:33:52- That's great.- Yeah.- Sam likes it, which is lovely.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55Jack likes it, which is great. I like it,
0:33:55 > 0:33:58and millions of people out there like it, but the big question is,
0:33:58 > 0:34:03will the auctioneer - for the viewers at home - like it, too?
0:34:03 > 0:34:07- That's a nice looking thing, isn't it, Stephen? - Yes, it's in nice order, isn't it?
0:34:07 > 0:34:10It would be nicer if they had been silver at the ends, wouldn't it?
0:34:10 > 0:34:13- But I don't think it is. - Not marked, anyway.
0:34:13 > 0:34:18No, it is unmarked but we have a coronet inscribed to the top of it on there.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20- Yeah.- Just one minor chip on it.
0:34:20 > 0:34:26So you shove your eau de Cologne up one end, and your aftershave down the other, I suppose?
0:34:26 > 0:34:28Well, that's a way to put it, isn't it?
0:34:28 > 0:34:32And I think, at the end of the day, if we get £40 or £50 for it...
0:34:32 > 0:34:34Charles Hanson will be very pleased.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37His bonus buy cost him £38. And he really rates it.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40I think we are in for an exciting ride. Don't you, Stephen?
0:34:40 > 0:34:43- Well, we will give it a good go. - Give it a good go.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49Going to be sold! You're out.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52- Ryan, Kyle, excited?- Yes. - Can't wait.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55This is the business, isn't it? Now what is going to happen?
0:34:55 > 0:34:58- You paid £60 for the lemonade set. - Yes.- The auctioneer loved it.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02He thought that is the look of the moment. He has put £40 to £50 on it.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05- That's OK.- He said it is very Tring. And here it comes.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Lemonade jug and six glasses.
0:35:07 > 0:35:11That's a nice little set for someone, isn't it? What about these?
0:35:11 > 0:35:16I possibly think £50 for them. What about £30, or £20? We are in at £20.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18Thank you, that's the way.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20Neat and tidy for £20. My goodness.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22£25. 30.
0:35:22 > 0:35:255. 40. 5.
0:35:27 > 0:35:3145 has them then, 50 now. I shall sell those,
0:35:31 > 0:35:32they are going down for the £45.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34BANGS GAVEL
0:35:34 > 0:35:37- £45. Bad luck. That's minus £15. - That's all right.
0:35:37 > 0:35:38Now the sewing box.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42It's that time of year, when you needed a sewing box, isn't it?
0:35:42 > 0:35:44There you are, one good sewing box.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47I should think we might get £50 for the sewing box.
0:35:47 > 0:35:52There you are, £50 for it. £30 bid. £30 I'm bid for the sewing box.
0:35:52 > 0:35:57Yes, £30, sir. And £35. The two of you want it. And £40. And 5.
0:35:57 > 0:36:0150 I'm bid for it. Are you 5?
0:36:01 > 0:36:04Are you sure? 50 I am bid, then, for the sewing box.
0:36:04 > 0:36:08I am going to have to sell it. No further bid, you are down, sir. £50.
0:36:08 > 0:36:12- Well done, that is plus £20. Yes, plus 20.- £60.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14- No, £50 he paid. His number is 65. - Oh!
0:36:14 > 0:36:22Plus £20, which means overall, you are up plus £5.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Now here comes the high-risk baby.
0:36:24 > 0:36:25Now that rather grand clock.
0:36:25 > 0:36:31What about £150 for it? 100 for it, 80 for it? Yes, 90 for it? 100 bid?
0:36:31 > 0:36:35You are going well. Would you like to bid 10? I am bid £110 for it.
0:36:35 > 0:36:36Now 20.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39- Surely there's another one in it? 120 anywhere?- Come on.
0:36:39 > 0:36:43If there is no further bid, then I am... Yes, it is yours, sir.
0:36:43 > 0:36:48It's going, and you're out. It's going then for 100 and £10.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50Thank you very much. BANGS GAVEL
0:36:50 > 0:36:53£110. That is minus £99.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56Torpedoes the prospects, I'm afraid.
0:36:56 > 0:37:01Which means, overall, you are minus £94.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04Minus 94 is your number.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07- Are you going to go with the bonus buy?- Yes, we believe in Anita.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09- Thank you.- I believe in Anita.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13Anyway, we are going with the £1 bonus buy, aren't we? Very good.
0:37:13 > 0:37:17There you are, poodle with her pups. No doubt they are Murano.
0:37:17 > 0:37:21How about those? What about £40 for them? £40 for a poodle and pups?
0:37:21 > 0:37:23£20?
0:37:23 > 0:37:28Yes, I have £20. £20 I'm bid for those. Are you 2?
0:37:28 > 0:37:30Yes, you are. You're 5.
0:37:30 > 0:37:34You're 5, you're 8, you're 30, you're 2, you're 5, are you 8?
0:37:34 > 0:37:37- You're 40.- £40.- 38 for madam. £40, sir?
0:37:37 > 0:37:42At £38, for the poodle and the pups, I shall sell them now. Yes sir,
0:37:42 > 0:37:44yours for £38.
0:37:44 > 0:37:45I don't believe it!
0:37:45 > 0:37:47Come here, girl!
0:37:47 > 0:37:50Oh, yes!
0:37:50 > 0:37:52That...
0:37:52 > 0:37:55- is the business.- It's a miracle. - It's a miracle.
0:37:55 > 0:38:01I told you she was going to do it. That is plus £37.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04Can you believe that? That is £57.
0:38:04 > 0:38:09It takes your minus £94 to minus £57.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13Which is perfectly respectable. And it could be a winning score.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16It could be, seriously. Don't say a word to the Blues, all right?
0:38:16 > 0:38:21- And well done, Anita. - That was fun, wasn't it?- Well done.
0:38:21 > 0:38:2230 I am bid, and 40 now.
0:38:28 > 0:38:33- Now, Jack and Sam.- Yes.- Do you know how the Reds got on?- No.- No.
0:38:33 > 0:38:38We don't want you to, either. First up is your deco lamp on marble base.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41There's been some controversy about this.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44- Because you have looked it up a bit. - Yes, I have.
0:38:44 > 0:38:51- I've seen them on the internet for 295-400 in Europe. We'll see.- 50-60.
0:38:51 > 0:38:56You have to respect the auctioneer in this because he has to give a guarantee with his description
0:38:56 > 0:39:00and if he's not certain, because he thinks the marble is modern
0:39:00 > 0:39:05or the thing has been re-plated... It has definitely been rewired.
0:39:05 > 0:39:06Very easy to be wise after the event.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09- Yes.- £180 you paid, you loved it to bits
0:39:09 > 0:39:11and he estimated it at 50-60.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14If the value is there, I'm quite sure the crowd here in Tring will bid it up.
0:39:14 > 0:39:18- And here it comes. - Now we have this Art Deco desk lamp.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21A rather nice one with a marble base on it.
0:39:21 > 0:39:22Joints good and firm.
0:39:22 > 0:39:27What about £100 to start me for it? £100? £50, yes?
0:39:27 > 0:39:3150 we are bid for it, then? 50 I'm bid for it. Are you 5? Are you 60?
0:39:31 > 0:39:37Are you 5, sir? 70, now. £70 and 5 is in. 75 I'm bid for it.
0:39:37 > 0:39:44£80 now. 75 on my right. Surely one more. At £75, then, 80 anywhere?
0:39:44 > 0:39:48I'm sorry, it's going, sir.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50No, yours, madam. 75.
0:39:50 > 0:39:54£75 is minus 105. Oh, dear.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58OK, next. The tinting set.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00There we are, what about that, that boxful.
0:40:00 > 0:40:04Photo tints, put a gloss on Aunty with those, can't you?
0:40:04 > 0:40:10£30 for them. 20, 10, 12? 15, 18, 20, 22, 5, are you 8?
0:40:10 > 0:40:15Yes, you are. 28. 30 now. You will lose them. 30 I am bid now.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18And 2 is in. £30, yes, you have got them. They are going for £30.
0:40:18 > 0:40:22- Thank you very much. - Brilliant, wasn't it? For £30.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25Plus 15 means overall, you are minus 90.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28We are creeping away at it.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31We have the painted bamboo walking cane with a dog head handle.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34A bit of a combination. There you are, £30 for that one.
0:40:34 > 0:40:41- Who has got 20? You have. 25, 35, 45, 50, 50, 55!- Keep going.
0:40:41 > 0:40:47- And 65 and 75 and 80...- Yes! - It's the dog head at £75.
0:40:47 > 0:40:52- He wants the dog head. It is going down at £75.- Yes!
0:40:53 > 0:40:59- 75.- Well done, team.- Plus £35. Now, whoever would have thought that?
0:40:59 > 0:41:03- £35.- No, that is good.- Well, that is brilliant.- Eating away.- Minus £55.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05Now, what are you going to do about the scent bottle?
0:41:05 > 0:41:09- Are you going with it? - Trust Charles. - Yeah, got to go for it.- We liked it.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11You liked it, he liked it, we all liked it.
0:41:11 > 0:41:15- Yes, you are going to go with it. - Absolutely. - £38, Charles Hanson paid for that.
0:41:15 > 0:41:19- And the auctioneer has estimated £40 to £50.- Great.
0:41:19 > 0:41:24- That's good.- Good, isn't it?- Yeah. - Anyway, we haven't made a profit until we have made the profit...
0:41:24 > 0:41:27- No.- Bonus buy is coming up now. Here we go.- Good luck, team.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29We have a double-ended scent bottle now.
0:41:29 > 0:41:34If only it had been a silver one. £50 for it? £40? 35, 40?
0:41:34 > 0:41:39Not a lot for this, £40. And 5? No more, £40 has it.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41And 5 now. Yes or no, sir?
0:41:41 > 0:41:45No. 5? No? At £40 then, thank you.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47£40 is a £2 profit.
0:41:47 > 0:41:51- I don't care, a profit is a profit! - It is a profit.
0:41:51 > 0:41:55That is minus £53 overall. Now, but could be a winning score.
0:41:55 > 0:42:00Depends on the Reds. All will be revealed in a moment.
0:42:03 > 0:42:04Two of them. 90. £100.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13Well, well, well, well! What an exciting show we have had today.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16Not because we have made dramatic profit, in fact,
0:42:16 > 0:42:20it is no secret between the teams they have made absolutely nothing at all, either of them,
0:42:20 > 0:42:24out of today's show. It is just a question of the scale of the losses.
0:42:24 > 0:42:28- And it is incredibly close.- Ooh!
0:42:28 > 0:42:33In fact, there is only £4 between the teams today. How about that?
0:42:33 > 0:42:39- And the runners-up today are...the Reds.- Ah!- No! No!
0:42:39 > 0:42:46Who have managed to lose by only losing £57.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48But gosh, it was close.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Because you guys, with only minus 53,
0:42:51 > 0:42:54and had the desk lamp not let you down so badly,
0:42:54 > 0:42:57you would have steamed ahead with real cash in your pockets.
0:42:57 > 0:43:01But all round, it has been a great show. In fact, so great, we'd like you to join us soon
0:43:01 > 0:43:03for some more bargain hunting.
0:43:03 > 0:43:04- Yes?- Yes!
