0:00:03 > 0:00:06Ooh, hello. It's that time of day again.
0:00:06 > 0:00:12Pull up a chair and relax. And let's go bargain hunting! Yeah!
0:00:40 > 0:00:43We've got an international flavour today.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Appropriately, because we're at an international antiques
0:00:46 > 0:00:49and collectors fair at Detling in Kent.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53We've got teams from South Africa and from America,
0:00:53 > 0:00:57so there's going to be a degree of global competition.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Oh, yes, what fun. Anyway, let's have a look at what's coming up.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03- WHISTLING - You after me? Oh, no.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07'What's this? Have the blue team lost their expert?'
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Where's Phil?
0:01:09 > 0:01:13'Now it seems the reds have lost the power of speech.'
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Now for a few words of wisdom.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19The rules - each team gets £300
0:01:19 > 0:01:23and an hour to shop for three items which they sell later at auction
0:01:23 > 0:01:28and the teams wins that makes the biggest profit or the smallest loss.
0:01:28 > 0:01:33Got it? Right, let's go and meet today's teams.
0:01:37 > 0:01:43On Bargain Hunt today, flying the flag for America, are the reds -
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Matt and Erin. Welcome.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48And supporting South Africa
0:01:48 > 0:01:50are Kerry and Gavin. Hi.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Lovely to see you. So,
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- you both come from Alaska? - That's correct.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56What brought you to Britain?
0:01:56 > 0:01:59We went on a vacation after I graduated university
0:01:59 > 0:02:04and we visited London. And we went to the Tower of London, didn't we?
0:02:04 > 0:02:09Yeah, fell in love with it and moved over the following year.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12And how long have you been here for now?
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- Erm, six years? - Six years now, yes.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- Matt, Alaska is famous for its grizzly bears.- That's right.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Have you had any encounters?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22I've had a few close encounters.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25I've walked up on a few from time to time.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28I had a friend who was bit by a bear.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30She survived, luckily.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33She was carrying home for dinner a cooked leg of lamb.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36The bear wanted it and a bit of her.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Well, you can't blame the old fellow really!
0:02:39 > 0:02:42And what do you do for a living?
0:02:42 > 0:02:47I'm doing some technical consulting work on offshore renewable energy.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49So renewable's one of your things?
0:02:49 > 0:02:54Yes, I worked in the oil industry for a few years, it wasn't for me,
0:02:54 > 0:02:57so I decided to go into offshore renewables instead.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Alongside the pet business.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03We always struggled to find suitable accommodation for our pets
0:03:03 > 0:03:07when we go on holiday, decided to try a few pet sitters
0:03:07 > 0:03:09but they were never good enough.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14So we decided to launch our own pet-sitting, dog-walking business
0:03:14 > 0:03:16with a technological edge.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19So we do blogs for our pets,
0:03:19 > 0:03:22with pictures and videos. For our dog-walking clients,
0:03:22 > 0:03:28we do GPS-tracked walking maps so our clients can watch their dog.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30That's very clever and entrepreneurial!
0:03:30 > 0:03:34Erin, what do you do to earn a buck?
0:03:34 > 0:03:39I teach art at a local grammar school for boys - Oakley Park -
0:03:39 > 0:03:40Are you from
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- an artistic background? - Yes, I studied ceramics
0:03:43 > 0:03:45at university
0:03:45 > 0:03:50and I've always loved to draw and art and art history.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Lovely to be able to teach it.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Yeah, it's a great profession.
0:03:54 > 0:04:00Thank you very much for joining us. Now, down to South Africa!
0:04:00 > 0:04:02- How are you both?- Good. - Well, thanks.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04How did you meet?
0:04:04 > 0:04:08We knew each other since we were 13, 14, through school.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12We were in the same group of friends...
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Which is your town?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17We are from just outside Durban, on the east coast.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21- You went to private school and he went public?- Yes!
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- Was that ever a bit of tension between you?- No!
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- I married up!- Do you regard her
0:04:27 > 0:04:31- as a bit of posh totty?- Yeah!- Is that how it works in South Africa?!
0:04:31 > 0:04:36What did you see in this creature from the scallywags' school?
0:04:36 > 0:04:38He's just too charming!
0:04:38 > 0:04:41I think this is true love actually.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44- Yes.- And what do you do for a living, Gavin?
0:04:44 > 0:04:47I'm an FX trader, so I trade currency.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50I work for myself from home.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54- What sort of hobbies have you got? - We both enjoy mountain biking
0:04:54 > 0:04:56and photography,
0:04:56 > 0:05:01squeeze some golf in, try and play squash a couple of times a week.
0:05:01 > 0:05:06- Enough to keep us out of mischief. - Kerry, what do you like collecting?
0:05:06 > 0:05:08We try to collect antique furniture
0:05:08 > 0:05:11and we've got a sculpture of Joan of Arc,
0:05:11 > 0:05:15we've got some really old maps that we love,
0:05:15 > 0:05:19we like mahogany furniture, the old ball and claw...
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Are you well qualified as bargain hunters?
0:05:22 > 0:05:26We can find a bargain, but whether we can do it today - not sure!
0:05:26 > 0:05:31I should think these reds are going to be absolutely scared witless!
0:05:31 > 0:05:35I mean, you've heard all this - ball and claw...
0:05:35 > 0:05:36They've got GPS!
0:05:36 > 0:05:38THEY ALL LAUGH
0:05:38 > 0:05:43We're going to have some fun! Now, the money moment. £300 apiece.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47You know the rules, your experts await. Off you go!
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Very good luck.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53So who's your money on? America or South Africa?
0:05:59 > 0:06:03'Flying the flag for the UK with the reds, it's David Barby!'
0:06:04 > 0:06:08'And for the blues, international gymnast Philip Serrell.'
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Oh, no!
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Is there a plan? Do we have a plan?
0:06:13 > 0:06:17- Following you.- Following you!- That's not a plan, that's desperation.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- You're both from Alaska? - That's right.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23So what are you looking for - Eskimo carvings or something?
0:06:23 > 0:06:27That would be great to find something like that in England.
0:06:27 > 0:06:33- I want you to buy what you want to buy. Go for quirky.- Let's do that.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- You're into ceramic arts? - Definitely.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- What, studio pottery?- Yeah.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40Go on.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Let's look at studio pottery, over there.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46'Erin's a woman after David's heart.'
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Look at anything that takes your eye.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55What's this, money never sleeps, time never sleeps?
0:06:55 > 0:06:59Oh, is it an inkwell? How strange.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01That's bizarre.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05- Can't have that. - No. Swiftly moving on.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07There's a Native American plate.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11It's a bit vibrant compared to what we're probably looking for.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14I think you've summed it up there.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- HE RINGS BELL - Sorry!
0:07:17 > 0:07:21'Both teams are getting stuck in. But who's going to buy first?'
0:07:21 > 0:07:25- Oh, they're silly. - So what do we know about them?
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Well, Murano glasses were made within the last couple of years,
0:07:29 > 0:07:32but Murano glass where they make these
0:07:32 > 0:07:36"freefall" type glass, it's modern glass,
0:07:36 > 0:07:40and they model it and it's quite nice. What I like
0:07:40 > 0:07:43is the combination of the red glass, then clear glass,
0:07:43 > 0:07:46then this white opaque glass.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50- and they're made for Christmas trees.- They're very whimsical.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Yes, quirky.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55'Quirky? That's the blues' plan!'
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- They're quite nice. - They're so silly.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02- I'd put them on our Christmas tree. - Would you regret buying these
0:08:02 > 0:08:04without looking at other things?
0:08:04 > 0:08:08I'd quite like to get our first item in the bag.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- Are these your first objects? - I think so.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14I think they may be. Shall we do it?
0:08:14 > 0:08:17I have a good feeling about these!
0:08:17 > 0:08:20That's because they give you that Christmas feeling!
0:08:20 > 0:08:23And you think of happy things at Christmas time.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28OK. Excuse me, madam. We're interested in those
0:08:28 > 0:08:31because we're the red team. We've got red figures there.
0:08:31 > 0:08:36Could you do those at £5 each, please? Please?
0:08:36 > 0:08:3924. That is
0:08:39 > 0:08:40my rock bottom.
0:08:40 > 0:08:4322?
0:08:43 > 0:08:45- Ooh, you naughty boy. Go on, then.- £22.
0:08:45 > 0:08:4822. Yeah, I think so. >
0:08:48 > 0:08:50I think there's a profit margin
0:08:50 > 0:08:54and you've got three red figures, running in the winning direction!
0:08:54 > 0:08:59I think those are good. I think they're fun. OK, let's go for them.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02'A jolly start for the reds
0:09:02 > 0:09:05'with their festive first purchase at £22.'
0:09:06 > 0:09:10'But the blues seem to be rapidly going down the pan.'
0:09:10 > 0:09:14- You haven't got any gloves, have you?- No, not handy!
0:09:14 > 0:09:16I'm feeling a bit flush!
0:09:20 > 0:09:22'No potty luck so far
0:09:22 > 0:09:24'for the reds.'
0:09:24 > 0:09:26'On the hunt for the quirky,
0:09:26 > 0:09:30'the blues are being drawn to some weird copper gadgets.'
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- Oh, yeah, it's solid copper. - It's lovely and dinged.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36It's got, uh,
0:09:36 > 0:09:38pipes on there that you fit
0:09:38 > 0:09:40onto the cows' bits.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45OK... Well, I didn't want to be as graphic as that.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48'So, it's a fancy milk bucket.'
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- I think that's quite fun. - I really like it.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55- We've got to buy something. - How's our time?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- That's also a concern. - Do you like it?
0:09:57 > 0:09:59- I do.- Do you like that?- I do.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02But I'm worried about the colour.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- The colour?- Yeah, do people have this in their homes?
0:10:05 > 0:10:09Yeah, the issue is that copper and brass has come down in price.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13Is there any way you can help us more on price, my love?
0:10:13 > 0:10:16I can't. 70 is the best on that, I'm sorry.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Could you meet us at 60?
0:10:19 > 0:10:21I'll split the difference. 65.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- I think that's fair. - Do you both like it?
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- Yes.- Yeah.- Go on, then.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Thank you very much. OK, thank you.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34- Thank you.- Ooh, if there's handshakes going round...
0:10:34 > 0:10:39'Quick work, blues. But will the fancy milk bucket "pail"
0:10:39 > 0:10:41'into insignificance at auction?'
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Yeah, bit out of our price range.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47What about that, then?
0:10:47 > 0:10:51- SHE LAUGHS - I'm not sure about that really.
0:10:51 > 0:10:56- That's so funny!- That'd make me about five inches taller!
0:10:56 > 0:10:59'You're out on a limb, blues.'
0:10:59 > 0:11:02'Two more buys before you can leg it.'
0:11:02 > 0:11:05We're close. We're gonna find something.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07'The reds are still
0:11:07 > 0:11:10'driving themselves potty. Ah, but what's this?'
0:11:10 > 0:11:15- Charlotte Rhead.- Charlotte Rhead was a good maker in the 1930s.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19- And it's all tube-lined. - Yeah. Mm-hm.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Do you like this? This is your studio ceramics.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26Yeah, I do. I think the colours are quite modern
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- for it being 1930s. - Is there any damage?
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Or is it...?
0:11:32 > 0:11:34It's obviously been used.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38It's got some nice little... designs.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40I think 170
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- is a little too high. - Shall we go for it?
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- Yeah.- Give it a shot?
0:11:45 > 0:11:47OK. 170.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50'Down to business.'
0:11:50 > 0:11:54Can we split 160 and you've got a deal?
0:11:56 > 0:11:58- Gives you a profit margin. - OK.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00- 160.- Wow, OK.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- Thank you. - They do go together, don't they?
0:12:03 > 0:12:05< They do.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08OK. Thank you very much.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11'The reds have cracked it. A studio pottery bowl
0:12:11 > 0:12:16'and a jug. But these pot lovers have paid a hefty price -
0:12:16 > 0:12:19'a whopping £160. Wow.'
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Imagine you're visiting your great-aunt Agatha
0:12:24 > 0:12:26in the 19th century
0:12:26 > 0:12:30and are sitting at her enormous Victorian dining table -
0:12:30 > 0:12:32round about 1850, 1860.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35If you were, then, this
0:12:35 > 0:12:39might be sitting beside you. Isn't that fun?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42It's a novelty condiment.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Two bottles. One here for mustard -
0:12:45 > 0:12:48cut glass, look, with a hinged top.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50This one for pepper.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53And they sit astride the back of this donkey
0:12:53 > 0:12:56in a pannier-type frame.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59And in front, the donkey appears to be
0:12:59 > 0:13:02eating something out of a trough,
0:13:02 > 0:13:06but if you look inside the trough, it's lined with gold.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Now, there is a hidden secret with it.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12If I undo the threaded terminal on top of the pannier,
0:13:12 > 0:13:16you can see, if you look carefully,
0:13:16 > 0:13:21a tiny little lozenge mark on the side of the saddle of the pannier.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25That lozenge mark is a design-registration mark
0:13:25 > 0:13:27and if you took the trouble,
0:13:27 > 0:13:31you could decode the date letters and hieroglyphics on that
0:13:31 > 0:13:35and decode when the design of this donkey
0:13:35 > 0:13:39was actually registered with the design office.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41What's it worth? Well,
0:13:41 > 0:13:46it could be yours from the dealer here at Detling for £100.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48On another day in another place,
0:13:48 > 0:13:52I've seen these bring between £200 and £250.
0:13:52 > 0:13:57So all I can say to you, old donk, is "Ee-yore!"
0:13:57 > 0:14:00'How are the teams getting on?'
0:14:00 > 0:14:04'The blues are larking about. Don't they know this is a competition?'
0:14:04 > 0:14:08It fits me!
0:14:14 > 0:14:19'Hang on. They've found something to make them feel right at home.'
0:14:19 > 0:14:23These have probably come off another piece of furniture
0:14:23 > 0:14:25or even a piano.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29But what someone would buy them for is you put the two
0:14:29 > 0:14:32and use them as brackets for a shelf or whatever.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36- I like them.- I think they're nice, but at auction,
0:14:36 > 0:14:39I think they're £40-60 worth. That's the problem.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42I think we're too far away on price.
0:14:44 > 0:14:49'The reds have two items, but David is having an attack of conscience.'
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Erin and Matt are delightful. They've got very good taste
0:14:53 > 0:14:57and strong opinions of what they want to buy.
0:14:57 > 0:15:02I feel guilty that I can't do better for them.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04'It's OK, David. At least the Americans
0:15:04 > 0:15:09'have got two items - how are the South Africans BEARING up?'
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Oh, look at him.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14£2.50. I guess he's not big enough.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- It's a little bear. - At £2.50, we'll take it.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20What did you say to me down there?
0:15:20 > 0:15:24"Hurry up a bit" - is that what you said?
0:15:24 > 0:15:27- OK, I'm coming. - She loves teddy bears.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29How much is that, 2.50?
0:15:29 > 0:15:32'Shake a leg, blues. No time for window shopping.'
0:15:35 > 0:15:38A bit panicky now we only have a few minutes left.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Yeah, we've only got two items and 11 minutes left.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46'You're obviously getting your eye in, blues.'
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Phil? Where's Phil?
0:15:49 > 0:15:51SHE LAUGHS
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Yes? No? Maybe?
0:15:53 > 0:15:56- It's all down to price, isn't it? - 18?
0:15:56 > 0:16:01- In the case. - How much are they?- 18.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07I like those. I really do.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10I think you've done well there.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12We'll get that in the wife's hat.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Yeah. Where's the damage, my dear?
0:16:15 > 0:16:19I don't know, actually. The stall owner's gone and I'm helping out.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Can we negotiate with you? Well, I'll try.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25You can just leave... She might kill me!
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Don't worry about that. You only die once anyway.
0:16:28 > 0:16:33- It says there "opera glasses..." - "And damaged leather case."
0:16:33 > 0:16:37- Oh, right, that's damaged. OK. - < What does she want for them?
0:16:37 > 0:16:40£1.80.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42- Oh, £18.- Oh, sorry, my mistake.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Oh, close!
0:16:44 > 0:16:4618?
0:16:46 > 0:16:50That's not a discount, my love, that's the same!
0:16:51 > 0:16:54You can't go for 10? I know it's low,
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- No, I know I can't go to 10. - 12 quid.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Her biggest discount is 10 per cent.
0:16:59 > 0:17:05< So 16. I can go 16, you can have them for.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07They'll make £15 to £25 at auction.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11- Get them for 15, that'll be great. - Go on, I'll take the risk.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- Go on, then.- All right.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18- You've done all right there. - And we'll take the case!
0:17:18 > 0:17:23'Two quirky buys in the bag for the blues. And time is marching on.'
0:17:23 > 0:17:26What I like is they've got their own mind.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30I had nothing to do with those opera glasses and they'll do well.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34'Hang on. What's David spied with his beady eye?'
0:17:34 > 0:17:36What's that storage jar there?
0:17:38 > 0:17:42- The one sitting down, shall we look at it?- Let's have a look.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46Oh, it's nice. I like it.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- Is it stoneware? - Stoneware, hand-thrown.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52165.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55- 165.- If you hold that one...
0:17:57 > 0:18:02Unsigned. Just your typical piece, I guess.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Large studio lidded jar.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07165. Just let's check.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09What is your best on this?
0:18:09 > 0:18:13This lady is in ceramics as part of her profession.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17She likes, sort of... Amongst other things as well.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21- She likes hand-thrown ceramics. - It's a stunning piece.- It is.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25But it's not a named piece, that's the problem.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29Some of the best didn't mark them because they didn't need to.
0:18:29 > 0:18:34I think we're looking probably round about the 1980s on this one,
0:18:34 > 0:18:371990s for the design.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39- I quite like it.- Do you like it?
0:18:39 > 0:18:43- Would you pay £90 for it? - If I had £90 to pay,
0:18:43 > 0:18:47- I probably would.- Shall we do it? - Yeah, I think so.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51OK, it's £90. Is that your best? Please? Give us some...
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- 85. - 80?
0:18:54 > 0:18:56- Go on, then. - £80.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- Thank you.- That leaves me something to deal with.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02All right. Thank you very much.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06- Thank you.- I think that's quite smart.- I do too.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10'Some hard bargaining, but the reds are done.'
0:19:10 > 0:19:12'The blues need a sprint finish.'
0:19:12 > 0:19:15This is panic time, isn't it?
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Right, decision time.
0:19:18 > 0:19:23Have you seen anything you like? The teddy bear's not a big enough punt.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27- No.- So you want to buy this sign?
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Erm, I'd say between that and the griffins,
0:19:30 > 0:19:35- but you said a key word - modern brewer's sign.- Let's have a look.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43I think that's truly awful.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46- I agree.- I think that is awful.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48But would somebody want it?
0:19:48 > 0:19:52They might, but I think it's bad beyond all belief.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56- What about the bucket? - I like the bucket.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59'Another bucket, blues?'
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Excuse me, how much can that be?
0:20:01 > 0:20:04- < Sorry, sir? - How much can that be?
0:20:04 > 0:20:07With the diff on it? £35.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11- No, it's still breathing. - I know, so am I.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15- But what's the... What's... - 25 quid.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- < That's it. - I think we've got two minutes left
0:20:18 > 0:20:22and I think that's a better buy than anything else we've seen.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Other than the teddy bear, but we're too far away now.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29- OK, are we going with that?- I don't think we've got any option.- OK.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31OK. Phew!
0:20:31 > 0:20:35'A pressurised finish for the blues
0:20:35 > 0:20:39'means they're off to auction with not one, but two buckets.'
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Tick tock. Time's up.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43'Shopping done,
0:20:43 > 0:20:45'let's see what the reds bought.'
0:20:45 > 0:20:47'They got into their stride
0:20:47 > 0:20:51'with some Murano glass Father Christmasses at £22.'
0:20:51 > 0:20:53'Persistence paid off
0:20:53 > 0:20:58'when they bought a Charlotte Rhead bowl and jug for £160.'
0:20:58 > 0:21:00'And the pot theme continued
0:21:00 > 0:21:02'with a stoneware jar for £80.'
0:21:02 > 0:21:07'Let's hope we have some other pot-oholics in the sale room.'
0:21:07 > 0:21:12Do you find that David Barby gets excited quite easily?
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Quite exuberant! THEY LAUGH
0:21:15 > 0:21:19- Did you have a nice time?- Brilliant time.- Yeah, it was very good.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23Oh, brilliant. And the total was, again...
0:21:23 > 0:21:26- 262 total.- 262.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29So I'd like £38 of leftover lolly.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31So which is your favourite piece, Erin?
0:21:31 > 0:21:34I have to say my favourite piece
0:21:34 > 0:21:38is the glass Murano Santas.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40The four little Santas.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44- Right. What about you, Matthew? - I think I have to agree.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46The little ornaments.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50- Will they bring the biggest price? - The biggest profit perhaps.
0:21:50 > 0:21:55- For a profit margin. - We did get quite a bargain on them.
0:21:55 > 0:22:00I can tell that David is full of enthusiasm for these little fellows.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04If you could've seen his face while you were talking. It fell a mile.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08I'm just surprised that you thought those little creatures
0:22:08 > 0:22:10would make the highest profit.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Well, we'll see. Surprises happen.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Anyway, your £38, old fruit. Got anything in mind?
0:22:16 > 0:22:20- I've seen one or two things, yes. - Great fair, isn't it?
0:22:20 > 0:22:24- Easily get lost here.- No, don't get lost. We want you back.
0:22:24 > 0:22:30Good luck, team. Why don't we check out how the blue team got on?
0:22:30 > 0:22:33'The blues went bucket crazy - starting with
0:22:33 > 0:22:37'this 19th century high-tech copper milk pail.'
0:22:37 > 0:22:40'They also spied a set of opera glasses
0:22:40 > 0:22:44which they bought for a modest £15.'
0:22:44 > 0:22:49'A last-minute dash bought them a coopered wooden bucket for £25.'
0:22:49 > 0:22:53'But will they make a bucketload of cash at auction?'
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Right, you lovely Springboks,
0:22:55 > 0:22:59have you been springing into action today? You jolly well have.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01We have, yes.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Which is your favourite piece, mate?
0:23:03 > 0:23:07Erm... It must be the cooper milk churn.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09- You agree, Kerry?- Very much so.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13- You love it.- It's beautiful. - Will it bring the biggest profit?
0:23:13 > 0:23:17- I think so.- Yeah? - More than the bucket.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21We don't want you kicking the bucket! No, lovely.
0:23:21 > 0:23:27- And you spent nearly £300.- Nearly, very close.- How much?- 105.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Oh, my Lord, is that all?!
0:23:29 > 0:23:32£195 of leftover lolly, please.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35- There you go.- OK, right.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39P Serrell can buy half the fair! More than your housekeeping!
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Er, biltong!
0:23:41 > 0:23:46- Biltong!- Good choice! Don't know how much it'd fetch at auction!
0:23:46 > 0:23:50Give him something to chew on! Good luck. Have a cup of tea.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54We're heading off to the most divine castle just down the road
0:23:54 > 0:23:56called Chiddingstone.
0:24:06 > 0:24:11During the Great Depression of the late 1920s and early 1930s,
0:24:11 > 0:24:14there was a great opportunity for collectors
0:24:14 > 0:24:18because collections were being broken up
0:24:18 > 0:24:20and cash was short.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24And one of the people who benefited particularly at that time
0:24:24 > 0:24:28was a geezer called Dennis Eyre Bower.
0:24:28 > 0:24:33'Home for the last 20 years of his life was Chiddingstone Castle.'
0:24:33 > 0:24:37'But from his earliest years, Bower was passionate
0:24:37 > 0:24:40'about Oriental, Egyptian and Jacobite antiques
0:24:40 > 0:24:44'and he managed to amass some fine pieces.'
0:24:44 > 0:24:48'Among his many treasures is a superb collection
0:24:48 > 0:24:51'of Japanese lacquer, put together,
0:24:51 > 0:24:54'on a limited budget, with no specialist knowledge.'
0:24:54 > 0:24:56'What Bower did have though
0:24:56 > 0:25:00'was an excellent eye for a quality item.'
0:25:00 > 0:25:03'I've had a closer look at a couple of pieces.'
0:25:03 > 0:25:08Firstly, this piece, which I think has the most extraordinary function.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Can you guess what it is?
0:25:10 > 0:25:15Well, it looks a bit like a brick, this, doesn't it?
0:25:15 > 0:25:17A rectangular brick
0:25:17 > 0:25:20that's pierced on the sides and top
0:25:20 > 0:25:24and, of course, exquisitely lacquered.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27It's got an end drawer with a ring terminal
0:25:27 > 0:25:30that opens like that and originally there would have been
0:25:30 > 0:25:34an incense burner in here.
0:25:35 > 0:25:40What this is is a scented incense pillow.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44Because in the late 17th and early 18th century,
0:25:44 > 0:25:49a really well-born Japanese lady would sleep
0:25:49 > 0:25:51on a padded mattress
0:25:51 > 0:25:56and her neck would be supported on this slight convex surface
0:25:56 > 0:26:01so that her elaborate hairdo beyond would not be disturbed.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03While she's having her kip,
0:26:03 > 0:26:08the lovely smell from the incense would permeate her hair.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11How super is that?
0:26:11 > 0:26:131680 to 1720,
0:26:13 > 0:26:15that sort of dateline,
0:26:15 > 0:26:20is what this scented incense pillow dates from.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22The material itself
0:26:22 > 0:26:25is difficult to produce.
0:26:25 > 0:26:30It's lacquer. This is literally, sometimes, a build-up
0:26:30 > 0:26:35of hundreds of thin layers of varnish and then decorated
0:26:35 > 0:26:38in gilt, which is what's happened here.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40The next piece is,
0:26:40 > 0:26:42as they say, completely different.
0:26:42 > 0:26:47This is a piece of what is called Shibayama.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51And Shibayama is a late 18th century technique
0:26:51 > 0:26:56where, on lacquered panels, incredibly elaborate encrustations
0:26:56 > 0:26:59of semi-precious materials
0:26:59 > 0:27:02are inlaid and carved.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05The whole thing is in a vessel
0:27:05 > 0:27:07that is completely wacky.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09It's lobed and ovoid,
0:27:09 > 0:27:13but if you look at the pretend spout - it's not real,
0:27:13 > 0:27:17it's a pretend spout in the form, if you like, of half a cockerel.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19The top and bottom parts
0:27:19 > 0:27:22are made of silver. They don't look it
0:27:22 > 0:27:24because it's grey and tarnished,
0:27:24 > 0:27:29but they are solid silver. And then, applied to the surface
0:27:29 > 0:27:31is all this cloisonne work.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35As a magee, or late 19th century piece,
0:27:35 > 0:27:37this is beyond compare.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40The big question today
0:27:40 > 0:27:42is, for our teams at the auction,
0:27:42 > 0:27:46will their choices prove to be profitable?
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Michael Roberts is our auctioneer today
0:28:05 > 0:28:10at the Canterbury Auction Rooms in Canterbury. Hello, Michael.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Lovely to be here. First up for the reds
0:28:13 > 0:28:17- are the four Father Christmasses in glass.- They're quite good.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Quite fun. Not badly made.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23There are little loops on the top of their heads to hang them up.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25I guess they must be
0:28:25 > 0:28:28perhaps 20 years old. They're not particularly old.
0:28:28 > 0:28:32- What are they worth, do you think? - Our estimate is £20-30.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34- Matthew paid £22.- Oh, OK.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38If you can get him £22 back, they'll be jumping for joy.
0:28:38 > 0:28:43Next is the Charlotte Rhead combo - the lovely jug
0:28:43 > 0:28:47and base set. People who are fans of this stuff
0:28:47 > 0:28:52- will love this, won't they? - Absolutely, there's a big following
0:28:52 > 0:28:54because it is really nicely made -
0:28:54 > 0:28:59the tube-line decoration is quite substantial and it's also
0:28:59 > 0:29:04an affordable type of this ware. Clarice Cliff is very expensive now
0:29:04 > 0:29:06but this is still quite affordable.
0:29:06 > 0:29:11So it's a nice... Well, I was going to say set, but, sadly,
0:29:11 > 0:29:16- the things are simliar but not matching.- Really?- In pattern.
0:29:16 > 0:29:21- That'll devalue it somewhat.- I think David Barby may have made a mistake,
0:29:21 > 0:29:25- because he paid £160 and it won't be worth that.- Certainly not.
0:29:25 > 0:29:30- Oh, dear. What's your estimate, then, as a combo?- Our estimate
0:29:30 > 0:29:36- is £30-40.- I'll explain it to David because he won't be pleased.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39Their last item is this handsome stoneware pot.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43It is a handsome pot, it's a useful pot. It's in the style
0:29:43 > 0:29:47of the famous studio potter Michael Casson.
0:29:47 > 0:29:52- Right.- And there's no obvious damage to it, but being unmarked,
0:29:52 > 0:29:57- it is one of several studio pottery things that are...- Knocking about.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00OK. Well, what's your estimate?
0:30:00 > 0:30:03- Well, we don't know who it's by - £30-40.- OK, £80 paid.
0:30:03 > 0:30:07I think they'll need their bonus buy, let's look at it.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11Now, Matthew, Erin, you spent so well at the fair - so proud of you!
0:30:11 > 0:30:16Only £38 went to David Barby, so he's had a challenge. David?
0:30:16 > 0:30:19- I spent the lot! Can you whip that thing off?- OK.
0:30:19 > 0:30:25- Ooh!- Thank goodness for iPods cos I couldn't carry that around!
0:30:25 > 0:30:29But this is a lovely little piece of
0:30:29 > 0:30:311940s, '50s radio equipment.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35It's such a nice shape. Very "Odeon-esque",
0:30:35 > 0:30:39rather like the cinemas of the period - 1930s, '40s.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41I like this. £38.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44And you think it might be worth...?
0:30:44 > 0:30:46I have seen these go up to £60 plus
0:30:46 > 0:30:49- at auction. - Do you like it, Erin?- I really do.
0:30:49 > 0:30:54- I love the style.- You've got the gen on it. You don't need to decide
0:30:54 > 0:30:57until after the sale of your first three items.
0:30:57 > 0:31:02But for the viewers, let's find out what the auctioneer thought of this.
0:31:02 > 0:31:08- Right, then. There we go.- It is an interesting thing in its own right.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12It's a brown Bakelite radio. The serial number on the bottom
0:31:12 > 0:31:14is DAC 10. It's by Bush
0:31:14 > 0:31:18- and apparently it was issued in 1950.- Right.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21That pinpoints it pretty accurately.
0:31:21 > 0:31:26- It does.- It's a marvellous piece of social history.- Well, it is.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30The design of it as well - it is interesting from that point of view.
0:31:30 > 0:31:34- So what's your guesstimate? - £10-15.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37- Oh, right. £38 paid by David Barby.- Right!
0:31:37 > 0:31:41I don't think he is renowned for his knowledge of mains radio sets,
0:31:41 > 0:31:44but we'll see what happens.
0:31:44 > 0:31:48First up for the blues is this copper milking pail jobby,
0:31:48 > 0:31:53which I suppose is very early milking-machine stuff, isn't it,
0:31:53 > 0:31:56with the suction system?
0:31:56 > 0:32:00Absolutely. Sadly, it looks like it's fallen off the wagon.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04- It's been kicked over by some old cow!- Yeah, kicked in the dairy.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06What's it worth?
0:32:06 > 0:32:10- Because of the condition, £10-15.- Oh, dear. £65 he paid.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12- I think we'll move on.- Oh, dear.
0:32:12 > 0:32:18- The nickel and leather binoculars. - They're in quite good condition.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22And the great thing is they still work, you can see through them.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25Bit of scuffing to the leather, and the chroming is still there,
0:32:25 > 0:32:28so I think they're OK.
0:32:28 > 0:32:32- The case is a bit worn out. - Yes. They paid £15 for them.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36- Do you think they'll get a profit? - Well, 10-15 is our estimate,
0:32:36 > 0:32:39so we're about on the money.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42Yeah, they'll get something out of it. Now, what about
0:32:42 > 0:32:48- this coopered bucket, which is a repro, isn't it?- It is, it's '60s,
0:32:48 > 0:32:52it's very much repro. We have the mark, it's by a firm called
0:32:52 > 0:32:56Lister Woodcraft. It's in the 19th century style, the liner is with it,
0:32:56 > 0:33:00so unlike this pail, you could actually use that
0:33:00 > 0:33:02for your logs or your coal.
0:33:02 > 0:33:07- Yes, it's got a galvanised liner. - Yeah, it's useable
0:33:07 > 0:33:09- and ready to go. - What's the estimate?- 40-60.
0:33:09 > 0:33:14That's extraordinary. They paid £25. On that happy note,
0:33:14 > 0:33:19they might not need their bonus buy, but I have a feeling they will.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22Right, then, £105 was spent.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25You left him with £195.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29A magnificent total for him to find something that's cutting edge
0:33:29 > 0:33:32and at the top of market. Phil, what did you find?
0:33:32 > 0:33:36- Well... - SHE GASPS You didn't!
0:33:36 > 0:33:39- I did, I did! - Can I keep him?- No.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41What's going on, please?
0:33:41 > 0:33:45- Well, you loved him.- It's what we wanted but we ran out of time.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49No, WE didn't want to get it at all. WE didn't at all.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52He was £20.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54So she charged you 20?
0:33:54 > 0:33:58- Yeah.- And what do you think we'll eke out of that?
0:33:58 > 0:34:01Actually, I think he'll make 30-50 quid.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04- He's beautiful. - Can you bear to sell him?- No.
0:34:04 > 0:34:09Well, you have to. And you can't buy him in the auction.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13You'll have to find another bear to hug. Anyway, good on you, Phil.
0:34:13 > 0:34:18Let's find out right now what the auctioneer thinks about Phil's bear.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21There we go, Michael. Still got yours?
0:34:21 > 0:34:24Long gone, sadly. The expression here is "well loved".
0:34:24 > 0:34:26He's gone bald.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29Yeah, especially to the top.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33- We've got a bell inside so added extra there. - BELL RINGS
0:34:33 > 0:34:38- I don't fancy there's any straw in there.- Yeah, it's synthetic.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41- But it's got a full stomach... - BEAR PARPS
0:34:41 > 0:34:44- Indigestion as well!- It's a growler! - Right, OK, there we are.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47Give it a belt and it makes a grunt!
0:34:47 > 0:34:50That's bears for you!
0:34:50 > 0:34:54- What's it worth?- Our estimate is £20-30.- A generous firm
0:34:54 > 0:34:57here at Canterbury Auctions. Anyway, £20 was paid.
0:34:57 > 0:35:03- Right.- Actually, it looks a bit like him! No! I never said it!
0:35:03 > 0:35:07- Are you taking the sale today? - I am.- Gosh. Good luck.
0:35:10 > 0:35:1310. 20, sir. 30.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19Matthew, Erin, how are you feeling?
0:35:19 > 0:35:22- Quietly confident, I suppose. - I'm all right.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25What do you mean, "all right"?
0:35:25 > 0:35:29- I'm a little nervous about some of it.- Are you?!
0:35:29 > 0:35:33How can that possibly be?! Anything in particular, sweetpea?
0:35:33 > 0:35:36Um, the Charlotte Rhead purchase.
0:35:36 > 0:35:40I think we may have paid a bit too much.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43First up are your Christmas-tree ornaments.
0:35:43 > 0:35:4864 are the set of four Murano glass Christmas-tree ornaments.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51Who's going to start me at £10? £10 where?
0:35:51 > 0:35:5410 at various places.
0:35:54 > 0:35:5610, 20, 30,
0:35:56 > 0:35:5840, 40,
0:35:58 > 0:36:0150, 60... No.
0:36:01 > 0:36:0350. Who's £60?
0:36:03 > 0:36:0560, 70.
0:36:05 > 0:36:0870 in the doorway?
0:36:08 > 0:36:10Do you want these? Looking for 70.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12They will sell at 60.
0:36:12 > 0:36:1460 and selling.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17That's 8 to 30, that would be plus 38!
0:36:17 > 0:36:20That was well spritey. That was your horse.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24Good Lord. Now, stand by for the Charlotte Rhead.
0:36:24 > 0:36:28Sadly not matching, but still in good condition. Who's starting me
0:36:28 > 0:36:30at £30 on commission?
0:36:30 > 0:36:3340 now. Useful jug and bowl.
0:36:33 > 0:36:38£40? Perhaps you could find the matching pieces for each item?
0:36:38 > 0:36:40£40 where? Anyone? Any further bids?
0:36:40 > 0:36:4340, 50, Tony. 60.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47No. 50 on commission. Any more? 50 and selling, then.
0:36:47 > 0:36:52Oh, £50 is -110. I can't bear this!
0:36:52 > 0:36:56- How much?- -110. Here comes the stoneware jar.
0:36:56 > 0:37:0166 is the brown-glazed studio pottery three-handled jar and cover.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03Imposing thing.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06£20. £20, someone?
0:37:06 > 0:37:08- Anyone?- Oh, no!
0:37:08 > 0:37:1130. A phone bidder. 30.
0:37:11 > 0:37:1440... 40.
0:37:14 > 0:37:1750...
0:37:17 > 0:37:20No? At £40, looking for 50...
0:37:20 > 0:37:24Any more? At 40 and selling, then... 208, thank you.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28Selling at £40 only, I can't believe that. That's -£40.
0:37:28 > 0:37:32You were 72 before, you're now -112.
0:37:32 > 0:37:37- Ooh.- So what shall we do about the radio set? Are we going to do it?
0:37:37 > 0:37:40- Yeah.- I think we have to. Nothing to lose.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43Well, I think it's a fine object.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45We're going with the bonus buy.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47And rest assured,
0:37:47 > 0:37:52if you do buy it, you don't have to listen to just vintage broadcasting.
0:37:52 > 0:37:57Who's going to start me at £20 on commission? Who's 30 now, then?
0:37:57 > 0:38:00Doorway. 40? £30. 40 where?
0:38:00 > 0:38:02Anybody else for 40? Anyone else?
0:38:02 > 0:38:05- 40, 50, 60...- Yes, well done, David.
0:38:05 > 0:38:0840, 50. Who's 60 now, then?
0:38:08 > 0:38:1050 and selling...
0:38:10 > 0:38:1350 plus 12.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15You've got the £12 back, brilliant,
0:38:15 > 0:38:19which has rounded it down to the ton.
0:38:19 > 0:38:24- Not bad.- -£100. There is a sort of synergy to -£100.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27It's a properly Chinese round number.
0:38:27 > 0:38:31- Yeah.- And you're looking pleased about it. Marvellous.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33It might be a winning score.
0:38:33 > 0:38:37- You never know. - If it's disastrous for the blues.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40Don't say a word to them, all right?
0:38:45 > 0:38:48- Now, do you know how the reds got on?- No.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51Good. We don't want you to. Are you feeling excited?
0:38:51 > 0:38:54- Can you tell?- Yeah...
0:38:54 > 0:38:57You South Africans are always known to be excitable,
0:38:57 > 0:39:01but this is a living embodiment of excitement.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04First up is the copper milk pail
0:39:04 > 0:39:08- and it is coming up right now. - Fresh from the dairy,
0:39:08 > 0:39:10lot 86.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13Who's going to start me at £10?
0:39:13 > 0:39:15£10 I'm bid. Who's 20?
0:39:15 > 0:39:18Right at the back, 20. 30, madam.
0:39:18 > 0:39:2040 at the back.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23No. With you at 30. Who's £40?
0:39:23 > 0:39:27- Anybody else?- I've got a horrible feeling here.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30£30. Selling, then. I will sell at 30.
0:39:30 > 0:39:35You're getting milked. £30. -35.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38Now, the opera glasses, let's be positive.
0:39:38 > 0:39:42Who's going to start me now at £10? They do work.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44£10 I'm bid.
0:39:44 > 0:39:48Who's 20? 30, 40.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50- No.- Open your eyes.
0:39:50 > 0:39:54£40 where? £40 where? You can see ships with these.
0:39:54 > 0:39:5630 and selling in the doorway.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59That was quick too. £30, you're plus 15.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02That's taken you down to -20.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05Now your bucket. This'll do it for you.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07Useful log box, this.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10Start £40 on commission. Who's 50 now, then?
0:40:10 > 0:40:14£50 where? Useful bucket. Put something in this.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16£50 where? Any more?
0:40:16 > 0:40:1840 on commission, I will sell
0:40:18 > 0:40:20at £40.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22That's very quick. £40,
0:40:22 > 0:40:27which is plus £15, which means overall you're -£5. How ridiculous.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29That is so close, isn't it?
0:40:29 > 0:40:33Could be a winning score, -£5, very easily.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36- Are you going to have a punt with the teddy?- For sure.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40We should play our joker and go with Barby, shouldn't we?!
0:40:40 > 0:40:43- It does look like him. - He's definitely the joker, Barby.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45- You're going with it?- For sure.
0:40:45 > 0:40:49You're going with your Barby... I mean your teddy. Here it comes.
0:40:49 > 0:40:54If you feel it in your heart to give this bear a home, who'll bid me £10?
0:40:54 > 0:40:57£10, several places. 10.
0:40:57 > 0:40:5920, sir. 30.
0:40:59 > 0:41:0240, 50, 60.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05£50. Who's 60 now? Go on.
0:41:05 > 0:41:09- Any more?- Good old Barby! - Are you sure?
0:41:09 > 0:41:12At 50 and selling, then. It's yours.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Yes, that's so good!
0:41:14 > 0:41:17That is plus 30. Is that not good? That's good.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19Overall, you are plus £25.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21The man, the legend.
0:41:21 > 0:41:25- Come on, Uncle Phil!- He knows a teddy bear when he sees one.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27That's great. Plus £25.
0:41:27 > 0:41:31That could be a winning score. Don't tell the reds. Thank you.
0:41:36 > 0:41:40Well, some days is good days and some days is bad days
0:41:40 > 0:41:43and today,... the day is very bad...
0:41:43 > 0:41:45for the reds.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48Never buy Charlotte Rhead
0:41:48 > 0:41:53that doesn't match - that's what I've learnt today. Ohhh.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55It's enough to make you weep.
0:41:55 > 0:42:00Yeah? £38 profit on those little Christmas johnnies, right?
0:42:00 > 0:42:03That was such a good beginning,
0:42:03 > 0:42:05then it went down the lavatory
0:42:05 > 0:42:08until you got to the mains electric
0:42:08 > 0:42:12radio set, which made you a profit of £12.
0:42:12 > 0:42:16So there were high points, but Charlotte Rhead was appalling.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19As a result, you're -£100.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22- THEY LAUGH - Anyway, lovely to see you.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24You've been great contestants.
0:42:24 > 0:42:29But the victors today are going home with folding money - £25 of it!
0:42:29 > 0:42:31- Look at that!- Thank you.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33How much is that in rands?
0:42:33 > 0:42:37- Lots and lots of rands.- 300.- 300.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Sounds so much better, going home with 300 rand.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42£30 profit on the straw bear
0:42:42 > 0:42:45really saved it, didn't it?
0:42:45 > 0:42:48- Do you know what they call that bear?- What?- Barby.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50< Out of affection, I feel certain.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54They don't call it Ken, they call it Barby, which is lovely.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57- Had a good time?- Fantastic.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Well, nice to see you, Gav, good man.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Keep your chins up. Good luck.
0:43:02 > 0:43:06- Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?- Yes!
0:43:09 > 0:43:13'I know, you're thinking "I could've done better than that!"'
0:43:13 > 0:43:15'Well, what's stopping you?'
0:43:15 > 0:43:18'If you think you can spot a bargain,
0:43:18 > 0:43:22go to our BBC website and apply - it'll be splendid to see you!'
