0:00:00 > 0:00:02One, two, three, four!
0:00:04 > 0:00:08A-ha! Here in excellent Exeter,
0:00:08 > 0:00:11is an antiques fair with a top end of 400 stalls
0:00:11 > 0:00:14offering the best in the west.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16And hey, I've had a good idea.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:00:41 > 0:00:45It's not everyone that gets to spend £300 on three items in just one hour.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48But everyone on this show does.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Because those are our rules.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Here's a peek of what's coming up.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Two couples go head-to-head, and everyone's feeling the pressure.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58- You can't have it.- Why can't I? - I'm telling you.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00You're being very mean.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Reds get riled and the blues bicker.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03- I don't like them.- You don't?- Huh?
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Hey!
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Will it be happy ever after?
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Time to meet our teams.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Today we've got two teams of happily married couples.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Well, they're happily married at the moment!
0:01:16 > 0:01:19For the reds we have Simon and Liz,
0:01:19 > 0:01:20and for the blues, Ross and Sam.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- Welcome, everyone. - ALL: Hello!
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Simon, how did you two first meet?
0:01:25 > 0:01:32I first met Liz at naval college in Dartmouth, where we were at naval college training to be officers.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Really? What branch were you going into?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37I was joining to be a pilot, and Liz was joining to be a nurse.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38What a lovely place to meet.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- Was it romantic?- No.- No?
0:01:41 > 0:01:47- We met over a pot of shoe polish and a nice steamy iron.- I see. It was that sort of meeting.
0:01:47 > 0:01:52- Halcyon days.- You missed out on your first military passing out parade.
0:01:52 > 0:01:59In '96, I joined as an artificer and I passed out with chicken pox at the back of the parade!
0:01:59 > 0:02:03- Really?- I ended up in sick bay corner!- Yes.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05And you passed out the second time together?
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Sort of.
0:02:07 > 0:02:12I'd fallen up some stairs and damaged my knee, so I missed my passing out parade.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- Not so swift.- Not so clever.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16What keeps you busy these days, Liz?
0:02:16 > 0:02:21Two boys aged six and nine, and I'm a part-time student.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- What are you studying?- Studying to be an accountancy technician.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29Having a change of tack due to some newly-acquired mobility issues.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- I can't be a psychiatric nurse any more.- A fresh career beckons.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Absolutely!
0:02:34 > 0:02:39Are you in charge of the money today, as you're going into bookkeeping and accountancy?
0:02:39 > 0:02:43- You'd like to think so, but probably not, no.- I see.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47- Can't be trusted.- What tactics have you got?- No wood.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- No wood.- And something shiny.
0:02:50 > 0:02:55Well, you've focused on it. That's your mantra. Good on you. Good luck.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- Now, moving to the blues. Ross. - Hi, Tim.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02When did you first clap eyes on Sam?
0:03:02 > 0:03:07When we were at school together. I was 15. We got together when we were at school
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- and we used to be told off for talking to each other.- Really?
0:03:10 > 0:03:14That's quite something. You weren't flicking pellets at her?
0:03:14 > 0:03:17No, I was in front so it was her flicking them at me!
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Oh, I see!
0:03:19 > 0:03:21What do you do to earn your crust, Ross?
0:03:21 > 0:03:25- I'm actually a baker.- Oh, really? Who writes these questions?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28That's rather good! How long have you been a baker?
0:03:28 > 0:03:30- For about 12 years.- Have you?
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Do you have to get up terribly early?
0:03:32 > 0:03:36Yes, sometimes I start at four in the morning. The smell of bread wakes me up.
0:03:36 > 0:03:41Is it the sort of bakery where you make about three trillion loaves a day?
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Yes, especially hot cross buns at Easter.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46- You don't like those?- I'm sick of the sight of them at the end!
0:03:47 > 0:03:51- Sam, what do you do for a living? - I'm a savings advisor in a building society.- Are you?
0:03:51 > 0:03:54So you're the expert with the money today?
0:03:54 > 0:03:55Yeah. Well, hopefully.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58It probably won't go to plan, but hopefully.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00What are you two hunting for today?
0:04:00 > 0:04:06I like something unusual. I like Art Deco things, something along those lines.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10- Yes.- Nothing in particular.- So you're just waiting to be grabbed.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11- Yes.- Waiting for that moment.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Before you get grabbed I have to give you something to grab.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18It's the £300 money moment. There you go. There's your £300.
0:04:18 > 0:04:24You know the rules. Your experts await and off you go! Very, very good luck!
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Cor, nifty driving!
0:04:28 > 0:04:32We've a canny pair of professionals to pick out the prize-winning items today.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36For the reds, we have Philip "first past the post" Serrell.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40For the blues, it's Charlie "pole position" Hanson.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45We're definitely not buying any wood.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49- Is this your plan as well, Simon? - It is now!- It is now!
0:04:49 > 0:04:51- Are you shoppers?- Yes.- Can you shop till you drop?- Yes.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55- Do you shop well together? - Yeah, sometimes.- Really?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57We ladies like shiny things.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Go and find some shiny things. Off you go. Go on, then.
0:05:00 > 0:05:06- Do you ever fall out?- Yeah. - All right.- Definitely. - We could be in trouble!
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Phil's wasting no time in going into battle.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11What about naval cannonballs?
0:05:11 > 0:05:17- Yeah.- Cannons.- You're looking suitably moved.- Can I just say, it's not very shiny!
0:05:17 > 0:05:21- So that rules it out?- Not necessarily. Who buys a cannonball?
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Um...
0:05:26 > 0:05:29I'm just going to shut up. Follow me. Will she follow us?
0:05:30 > 0:05:34It's good that you've got your expert with you. And I'm sure she'll be a great help today!
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Follow me. We only have an hour, OK? - Let's go.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Go for it, blues. There's a lot of ground to cover here.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43- We'll start down here first of all. - OK.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Phil's found something close to his heart.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50These are very, very collectable.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Sometimes you have water, and sometimes whisky.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56And you'd put them by the side and before bed you'd have a shot.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Oh, I like those.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02At auction, I think this one, without the label,
0:06:02 > 0:06:04is going to be perhaps 100 to 150 quid.
0:06:04 > 0:06:11I haven't seen the prices on these, but I'd like to try and buy that for around 130, 140, if we could.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- I don't know what's on it. - That one can be 150.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16You couldn't do it for 125, then?
0:06:16 > 0:06:21- We couldn't.- That's pushing it too far?- That's less than I paid.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Gosh, we don't want to do that to you.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- I'd buy that, which is a good sign, isn't it?- Do you both like it?
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- Yes.- I like whisky, too. If it was full, I'd pay more!
0:06:29 > 0:06:34- All three of us like it. I'd love to own one of these.- I would, too. - I like it.- It's lovely.
0:06:34 > 0:06:39- I would own it.- Top makers, Gold and Silversmiths. 1908, so it's 103 years old.- Right.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- SIMON:- And it's shiny, so that knocks that on the head.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- I like it. I like it. - Thanks very much.- Pay the man!
0:06:45 > 0:06:47- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:06:47 > 0:06:53Do you know what? I think they liked that! Let's hope they like the price it fetches at auction.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- That little box there.- Sorry? - The little box that's there.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00That, I think, is probably Chinese cloisonne. Have a handle.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- I like the dragon on it. - Yeah, I like the dragon.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- Ross, what does it pull to you? - It looks like a tattoo.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08It looks like a cloisonne box to me!
0:07:08 > 0:07:13- Like a tattoo?- A tattoo.- Thanks for coming, Ross(!) Thanks for coming!
0:07:13 > 0:07:16I'm pleased you've got some antique aura about you, Ross!
0:07:16 > 0:07:20- Do you have any tattoos?- I've got quite a few.- Have you? Whereabouts?
0:07:20 > 0:07:22I dread to think.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- Really?- Yes. Some there.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- Oh, goodness me!- It's a bit like that.- Is that a real one?- Yeah.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Wowee. Good for you. Yeah. Yeah.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- So it looks like a tattoo.- Yeah.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- It's one way of looking at it. - Thanks for coming!
0:07:36 > 0:07:38The funny thing, when people talk tat on Bargain Hunt,
0:07:38 > 0:07:41they're not often discussing tattoos.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Probably 1880s, 1890s.
0:07:43 > 0:07:48- It was a wonderful skill to be able to create these.- I don't know if I'd want it for 65, though.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Quite right. But I think at auction, no disrespect,
0:07:51 > 0:07:53at auction it might only make £25.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58So if there was room to negotiate, it might be worth buying.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- But I think we're a long way from that.- That's fine.- Thank you.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- That's unusual.- What, the waistcoat or the tall silver...
0:08:07 > 0:08:09No, the plate.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13It is nice, Liz, but it's £675-worth of nice!
0:08:13 > 0:08:15I think that might just stretch the budget.
0:08:15 > 0:08:16It would break the licence fee!
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Keep at it, reds. At least you've bought something.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22- We've had so far 20 minutes.- Yeah.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- Which means, really, we ought to buy a lot every 20 minutes.- Yes.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- We have an hour.- Yes.- Seen anything so far?- No.- Nothing.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33- Worried?- A bit now, yeah.- Slightly. - Get outta here!
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Aren't our couples lovely today? All smiles.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- You can't have it.- Why can't I have it?- You've got a shiny already. You've done shiny.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42I know we've done shiny...
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Me and my big mouth, eh?
0:08:44 > 0:08:49- It's in the cabinet for a reason. - It doesn't necessarily mean it's expensive.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- No, it doesn't.- "Cheep, cheep, cheep", like the budgie. Come on.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56I think you're being very mean.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58This is harder than I thought it would be.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03Yes, it's a tough old challenge. You've got to find three items and agree on those three.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Maybe a little exploration is in order.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10There's no carpet on the floor here. I always think that's a good thing because it's cheaper,
0:09:10 > 0:09:15- you might say. Let's go and find... - Yeah, cheap works for me. - I do cheap.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19- I like his post box.- It's a proper post box. Is it expensive?
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- It's a proper price, as well. - Is it? 750 quid.
0:09:22 > 0:09:27That's about the price of a first class stamp these days, isn't it?
0:09:27 > 0:09:28What about a post box that's a money box?
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- I think that's two pennyworth, my love.- OK.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33It's one extreme to the other, with these reds.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37- Let's have a wander.- You've got a good eye, babe.- A good eye for tat.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Now, these, definitely, are not tat.
0:09:41 > 0:09:46What you have here is a wine glass that you may have toasted the French Revolution to.
0:09:46 > 0:09:51You may have toasted Mad King George III when he came to the throne in 1760.
0:09:51 > 0:09:52And that's history.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Well remembered, Charles.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58And the way these wine glasses have been blown,
0:09:58 > 0:10:01you'll see this writhing in the glass.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04That's hand-wrought lead glass on a folded foot
0:10:04 > 0:10:06and a rough pontil mark
0:10:06 > 0:10:12where they've been snapped off when they've been blown on the tube, like so.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16- I like the age of it.- Yeah, I do. - 1780. Where were you, Ross, then?
0:10:16 > 0:10:18- In my father's eye!- Exactly.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Hmm. That makes your dad about 200 years old, Ross.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23I don't think he'll thank you!
0:10:23 > 0:10:26I wasn't sure of them until you said how old they were.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28So the best price is £100.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32That's a wonderful discount, because the asking on the ticket is 185.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34So we can't complain there, can we?
0:10:34 > 0:10:38With a bit more leeway, they could make 120 or 130.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- I think we should go with Charles. - Go on, Charles.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- I love them because of what they are.- I like the age of them and the history of them.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48Sometimes you buy it because you like them.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- Would I buy these?- Yes.- Yes. - You would.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55- It is a sale.- £100 spent. Well done, guys.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59- Give me a chink-chink. - Ooh, I don't want to break them! - Cheers. That's history.
0:10:59 > 0:11:04It certainly is. In fact, that's what this place is all about.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Everywhere you look, there's a bit of history.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09This is a nice stand,
0:11:09 > 0:11:16stocked almost entirely out of honest, British vernacular furniture.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20And this is a typical honest piece.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24It dates from about 1750, the middle of the 18th century.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26It's got a straightforward rectangular top
0:11:26 > 0:11:30that's made out of a single board of elm.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33And it's incredibly simply made.
0:11:33 > 0:11:39A series of broad elm planks which have been nailed together,
0:11:39 > 0:11:45and it's raised from the floor on these elegant but very, very easy to make,
0:11:45 > 0:11:47chamfered rectangular supports.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50You have to admit, it is slightly odd-looking.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54Fine, the top is pretty straightforward.
0:11:54 > 0:11:55It's a rectangle.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57But look at that depth underneath.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00You can't tuck your knees underneath it.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02It's got no drawers.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05This is something called a dough chest.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07If I pick the top up like that,
0:12:07 > 0:12:09you can see inside.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13There are all those crudely nailed together elm boards.
0:12:13 > 0:12:18What the housewife would do is put a great lump of kneaded dough
0:12:18 > 0:12:21into the bottom of this dough chest and leave it to prove.
0:12:21 > 0:12:27Then she'd take lumps of the dough out, stick it in the oven and go about her bread-making.
0:12:27 > 0:12:33I can see this thing being very, very useful in a modern kitchen.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Effectively, an island worktop.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Most attractive.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39What would it cost you here today in Exeter?
0:12:39 > 0:12:43It could be yours for £750.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45That's not a lot of dough, is it?
0:12:45 > 0:12:49The reds are still having a few issues about where to spend their dough.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51That feels nice.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55- They're not antiques, though! - No, but people like a decent paperweight.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58People like a bacon sandwich, too, but I wouldn't take that to auction!
0:12:58 > 0:13:02- 1988. It says it on the bottom. £75?!- Yeah, well,
0:13:02 > 0:13:05- it doesn't have to be £75. - That was a vase when it started life!
0:13:05 > 0:13:09She's not giving up. Maybe Phil should have a word.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11- Do you want to make a profit or a loss?- A profit.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13- Then don't buy that. Have a look at that.- How much is that?
0:13:13 > 0:13:16£28. But if you don't like it, don't buy it.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Ooh. No, £28 is more appealing.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Good work, Phil! Disaster averted.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25- Would you keep it for us for half an hour? Would that be all right? - No problem.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Whizzie Liz has gone off again.
0:13:28 > 0:13:29I thought this was a team game.
0:13:29 > 0:13:36I've found a pair of pink glass matching tea-cake stands.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39You can tell he's excited, can't you?
0:13:39 > 0:13:42It's not going too well for the reds is it?
0:13:42 > 0:13:45I'm beginning to wish I'd brought my mother instead of my husband.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- He doesn't like any of the things I like.- Yeah...
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Which is why we've only got one item.
0:13:50 > 0:13:55For me, 20 minutes to go, my mission is to keep you on a tight leash,
0:13:55 > 0:13:59because you seem to have an eye for tat as opposed to stuff that makes money.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- Oh, you're so harsh!- I know!
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Come on, reds. It's about teamwork.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06At least the blues are getting on with it.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10A nice pair of toast racks. Chester. Sweet. 1918. They're gorgeous.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14- There we go. Look - toast, which is...- Bread!
0:14:14 > 0:14:17We've got the bread lots. We've got it.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- They're quite small, aren't they? - Tiny little things.
0:14:20 > 0:14:25They were made in Chester in 1918.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29Chester stopped hallmarking silver in 1962.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Somewhere, you'll see a hallmark.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33There it is. Just there.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- Let's double-check the hallmarks match up.- They certainly do.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40- What do you think? - £70 for the pair, £35 each.
0:14:40 > 0:14:4370 isn't a bad price. If they came into my sale room,
0:14:43 > 0:14:49I'd say to a client, "They're going to fetch between 60 and £90."
0:14:49 > 0:14:51- I don't like them.- You don't? - Huh?- I don't like them.
0:14:51 > 0:14:56Oh, well! This is your husband's background. His pedigree!
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- Don't you like them really?- No.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Oh, it was all going too well.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04You couldn't go a bit more? Look at me.
0:15:04 > 0:15:0665.
0:15:06 > 0:15:07That means it.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11- I think we should... - I'll leave it to you.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14- VENDOR:- There's profit in them. - I think we should go for it.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18- That's only just over £30 each. - What do you think?
0:15:18 > 0:15:21- I don't like them.- Give the man his toast racks!
0:15:21 > 0:15:24- Then the last lot is up to you. - Yeah, the last one's yours.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28- OK.- Is it sold?- It's a deal. - It's a deal. We'll buy them.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31- Well done.- Shake the baker's hand. Sam, happy?
0:15:31 > 0:15:32OK.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36I am. They're lovely. Nice pair.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Keep it clean, Charles!
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- I just didn't like them. - The toast racks?- No.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44- OK.- But I can live with it. - Are you sure?
0:15:44 > 0:15:48- It's your turn now, OK? It's your turn.- OK.
0:15:48 > 0:15:53Oh, dear. Both couples are having issues, and the pressure's on. Time's a-ticking!
0:15:53 > 0:15:56The reds seem to be getting on with it at the moment, though. But where's Phil?
0:15:56 > 0:15:58We've got "God Save The Queen,
0:15:58 > 0:16:01"2nd June, 1953."
0:16:01 > 0:16:04And "Denby stoneware, Made in England."
0:16:04 > 0:16:05What's the price on that one?
0:16:05 > 0:16:07- Looking at £20.- £20.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Liz, she's got an eye.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13I'm not sure it's an eye we all share, but she's got an eye!
0:16:13 > 0:16:18- I think we've got to rein her in from buying something really whacky. - It's a deal.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20I think you might have spoken too soon, Phil.
0:16:20 > 0:16:25- We may have made a second purchase. - Really?- We have.- May or have?
0:16:25 > 0:16:28We have, actually. We have made a second purchase.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32- We'd still value your opinion, though.- We would value your opinion.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34I think it's a bit late for that!
0:16:34 > 0:16:36- You bought this?- We bought that. - Yes.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- A little bit of Denbyware.- £10.- £10.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44I can't see you losing more than 15 on it.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46ALL LAUGH
0:16:46 > 0:16:52We'll see if they've got themselves a money maker with the mug later.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Now, come on, teams. There's a third item out there for you somewhere
0:16:55 > 0:16:58but only 15 minutes left to find it!
0:16:58 > 0:17:00- Pig pin cushion!- Pig pin cushion. - Here.- I'm having it.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04Look. Look! Look at that pig!
0:17:04 > 0:17:08- That's a good pig.- I like that! - That's nice.- I do like that. - Do you like pigs?
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- I do. Any animal, really.- Yeah.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14A pin cushion that will probably date to around 1900.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16The more popular ones are in silver.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18He's charming. How much is he?
0:17:18 > 0:17:21- He's 33.- I reckon about £30.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Yeah. He's novel, he's neat
0:17:24 > 0:17:28- and you could even buy him for maybe 20.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32- I would say he's a really good finale to our three lots.- OK.- Yeah.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36- See what we can do. - Any pigs at home?- No pigs.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- Three dogs.- Have you? - Yes. They look like pigs!
0:17:41 > 0:17:42I think he's telling porkies!
0:17:45 > 0:17:49I've spoken to her. She was reluctant to come down, but I've got her down to 25.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- 25.- That's the lowest she'll do.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Come on, guys. You said Sam could choose the next item.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57- I want the pig.- Yeah.- OK.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00I think if it is £10, it's £10.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- Hopefully the wine glasses and toast racks will bring us up.- Yeah?
0:18:03 > 0:18:05- OK?- Go for it.- Lovely. Thank you very much.- No problem!
0:18:05 > 0:18:10Go, girl power! Now everyone in the blue corner is as happy as a pig in muck.
0:18:10 > 0:18:15Three items safely stashed. Reds, you've got five minutes. No time to disagree.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Get that final item found!
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Whitefriars, Geoffrey Baxter.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21They're quite nice. Are they a pair?
0:18:21 > 0:18:24You could buy them as a pair, but they're separate.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27You've got five minutes left and you've got to buy something.
0:18:27 > 0:18:32- I would like you to buy something you like.- I like that. - Keep the damage down.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34- How much is that? - One of those is £28.- OK.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- Want to look at the other one? - Yes, please. Can I have a look?
0:18:37 > 0:18:41Cos I'm sure, everything that I've listened to
0:18:41 > 0:18:43is a pair is best.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48I'd rather you buy Whitefriars than nobody's.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52Excuse me, what's the best that you could do on these, please?
0:18:52 > 0:18:54I'll do you the pair for the price of one.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58- It's 28 I've got on one, so I'll do the two for 28.- What do you think, chaps?
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- Sounds like quite a good deal. - And they're red.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Do you know, I would love to...
0:19:03 > 0:19:08I like these and I'm going to say, thank you very much, sir. You've got a deal!
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Well, someone had to make a decision.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12There were only a couple of minutes left.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Once again, a nice bit of girl power. Fantastic.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Yay! With three minutes to spare!
0:19:18 > 0:19:22Actually, in all seriousness, I'd much prefer for you to buy something you like
0:19:22 > 0:19:23than something you don't like.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27I think I'm in need of a good strong cup of tea.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Or if I can find that whisky thing and fill it up...
0:19:29 > 0:19:32That would probably do me more good. Follow me.
0:19:34 > 0:19:40Good on you, reds. From trials and tribulations to a good old titter. Good shop done.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- Excuse me, have you got the time? - I've got lots of time, Tim. Take your pick!
0:19:43 > 0:19:45So you have!
0:19:45 > 0:19:50Anyway, time's up. That's your lot. Let's see what the red team have got.
0:19:51 > 0:19:56They made a good start. Five minutes in and they agreed on this whisky toddy jug.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59It set them back £150, though.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03With half their cash gone, they went very low-key for their second item.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05So low that Phil missed it altogether!
0:20:05 > 0:20:08It was a £10 Queen Elizabeth II coronation mug.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12But it was when indecision reigned that Liz took charge,
0:20:12 > 0:20:17settling a deal for these Whitefriars vases at £28 the pair.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- It's had its moments.- It has!- What do you mean, it's had its moments?
0:20:21 > 0:20:26- Well...- Did we have a fall-out? - No, no. Nothing that Relate couldn't put right!
0:20:27 > 0:20:29It's a very good affair that, I'm told.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Which is your favourite piece, Elizabeth?
0:20:32 > 0:20:36I think the small whisky decanter is my favourite.
0:20:36 > 0:20:42- Would you agree?- I do, yeah. I'm also torn between the vases. They're nice. They're growing on me.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- Right. Are they going to bring the biggest profit?- No.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47- I think they are.- OK.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50I think the vases will bring the biggest profit.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- And?- Whisky decanter for me, to bring the profit.
0:20:53 > 0:20:59- How much did you spend?- £188.- 188. I'd like £112 of leftover lolly, please.- £112.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01- No discount for cash! - Will you take 60?- No!
0:21:01 > 0:21:04You're getting into the swing of this, aren't you?
0:21:05 > 0:21:12- There you go, Phil. A nice little lump.- I'll go and try and find something a touch different.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14OK. Good luck. Go and have a cup of tea, guys.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Meanwhile, we'll check out what the blue team bought.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21The blues bought a pair of 18th-century drinking glasses
0:21:21 > 0:21:24that cost them a nice round £100.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Charles and Ross overruled Sam
0:21:29 > 0:21:33and bought a pair of silver George V toast racks for £65.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Sam spotted an Edwardian brass pig
0:21:38 > 0:21:41and pinned it down for a sharp £25. Oink!
0:21:41 > 0:21:45- What a pig, eh?- What a combination. - Yeah.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48It's good, isn't it, when you have a happy shop.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- You had a happy shop, didn't you? - Yeah.- In most parts.- Yeah. Mostly.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Well, a little bit of a tiff, but...
0:21:54 > 0:21:59You know, nothing lasting. Where's a relationship without the odd tiff, eh, Charles?
0:21:59 > 0:22:01- Quite right.- Quite right, too.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Anyway, which is your favourite piece?
0:22:04 > 0:22:07My favourite is the pig pin cushion that we bought.
0:22:07 > 0:22:12- The pig pin cushion. Will that bring the biggest profit?- I think it will. - Think so?- Yes.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16- What's the total spend?- 190. - 190. I'd like 110, please.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20- There we go. £110, which goes straight to Charles.- Thanks, Tim.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Who's going to truffle round for a decent bonus buy.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Something you'll both like and you'll really be happy with.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29A bit of romance and a bit of charm.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Good luck with your search. Good luck, team.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Meanwhile, we're heading off somewhere drop-dead gorgeous!
0:22:41 > 0:22:44This is Antony, in Cornwall.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47A strange name for a house, you might think.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51But then it gets its name from the parish in which it sits.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Little remains of the original Antony House.
0:22:56 > 0:23:01This house was mainly rebuilt by Sir William Carew in about 1720,
0:23:01 > 0:23:07as a new home for himself and his wealthy wife, the heiress Lady Anne Coventry.
0:23:07 > 0:23:13The house is currently the home of Sir Richard and Lady Mary Carew Pole.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17In fact, there have been Poles, Carew Poles and Pole Carews here
0:23:17 > 0:23:18for over 600 years.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Glad we got that sorted out!
0:23:22 > 0:23:26As you enter the house, you're confronted by a series of portraits
0:23:26 > 0:23:28of family and friends.
0:23:28 > 0:23:34Some would say dominated by this striking portrait of King Charles I
0:23:34 > 0:23:38awaiting his trial in 1648.
0:23:38 > 0:23:43And it was Charles and the Civil War that led to the great divisions
0:23:43 > 0:23:45in the Carew family.
0:23:46 > 0:23:51The Carews became Pole Carews in 1772,
0:23:51 > 0:23:54when Reginald Pole inherited the estate.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56The family name remained unchanged
0:23:56 > 0:24:00until 1926, when the family switched the name around once more
0:24:00 > 0:24:03to become the Carew Poles.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04Simple, ain't it?
0:24:04 > 0:24:09Another member of the family who changed his identity,
0:24:09 > 0:24:11but very much earlier,
0:24:11 > 0:24:15is this character, Sir Alexander Carew,
0:24:15 > 0:24:18seen here in a full-length portrait
0:24:18 > 0:24:22that is supposed to have been painted at the time of his coming of age
0:24:22 > 0:24:25around his 21st birthday.
0:24:25 > 0:24:31He was born in 1609 and was therefore in his early 30s
0:24:31 > 0:24:36at the outbreak of the English Civil War in 1642.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40If you look very carefully at this portrait,
0:24:40 > 0:24:45there's an incredibly crude line of stitching top and bottom
0:24:45 > 0:24:49and that's because, according to family myth,
0:24:49 > 0:24:52following the outbreak of the Civil War,
0:24:52 > 0:24:57this portrait was simply hacked from its frame
0:24:57 > 0:25:01and only later crudely stitched together and re-hung.
0:25:01 > 0:25:06And that was because the family wanted to cover up, if you like,
0:25:06 > 0:25:10their shame at his change of allegiance.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14The Carew family was largely royalist. However,
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Alexander represented Cornwall in the Long Parliament
0:25:17 > 0:25:23and at the outbreak of war, Parliament gave him command of the strategic island of St Nicholas,
0:25:23 > 0:25:25which was guarding the approaches to Plymouth.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28The war didn't go well for the Parliamentarians
0:25:28 > 0:25:30and Alexander got wind of this.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34He also heard that his cousin and uncle, both Parliamentarians,
0:25:34 > 0:25:38had turned coat and gone over to the Royalist cause.
0:25:38 > 0:25:43So, Sir Alexander would have sat brooding and fretting on his island,
0:25:43 > 0:25:47separated by half a mile of water.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50He would have been fearful for his family,
0:25:50 > 0:25:56the fact that his estates would have been sequestered by the Crown.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00He said that he would hand over the island to the Royalists
0:26:00 > 0:26:03if he got a Royal Pardon.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06He thought a deal had been done.
0:26:06 > 0:26:13He waited and waited for that pardon, which simply never came.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18Alexander's treachery was discovered by the Parliamentarians.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20He was surprised in his fort
0:26:20 > 0:26:22and taken to London for trial,
0:26:22 > 0:26:24where he was condemned to death.
0:26:25 > 0:26:33The family story therefore says that the family members who remained loyal to the king
0:26:33 > 0:26:39were ashamed of the fact that Alexander went with the Parliamentarians
0:26:39 > 0:26:41and ripped the painting from the frame.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45Only later, when he changed allegiance to the Crown
0:26:45 > 0:26:48did they stitch it up and re-hang it.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52The fact that he was beheaded is brutally true.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Whether the stitching up of the portrait is true or not,
0:26:55 > 0:26:59frankly, that remains unproven.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02The big question today, of course, for our teams over at the auction is,
0:27:02 > 0:27:06are they about to be stitched up, too?
0:27:13 > 0:27:16We've trotted east from Exeter, all the way to Honiton
0:27:16 > 0:27:23- to Bearnes, Hampton and Littlewood's to be with Brian Goodison-Blanks. Brian, good morning.- Good morning.
0:27:23 > 0:27:29Now, Simon and Liz. Their first item is this wee decanter and silver label. How do you rate that?
0:27:29 > 0:27:33It's a nice little thing. It's Goldsmiths and Silversmiths Company,
0:27:33 > 0:27:37well known established retailers from about 1880 in London.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41Unfortunately, the label doesn't match. The label is much later.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45Although we know the silver mount is 1908, the label itself is 1964.
0:27:45 > 0:27:50- Ah.- So because of that, we've estimated it at a realistic price,
0:27:50 > 0:27:52we've said about 50 to £70.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56- Is that all?- Yes.- They paid 150. - Right. Oh.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Which is a bit tight, really.
0:27:58 > 0:28:03In fact, it could be a deep, dark hole into which they're about to plunge! Anyway,
0:28:03 > 0:28:05not so very optimistic there.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08What about the Denby coronation mug?
0:28:08 > 0:28:12We do see a lot of pieces. They tend to be collected by everybody
0:28:12 > 0:28:15because it's such a national event that people hold onto them.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19I've got my coin from 1977 that was handed to me when I was in primary school all those years ago!
0:28:19 > 0:28:22- In your shorts!- Indeed!
0:28:22 > 0:28:24It's probably only five to £10.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27- OK. They only paid £10. There ain't going to be much in it.- No.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29What about these so-called Whitefriars glass vases?
0:28:29 > 0:28:35It's difficult because a lot of coloured glass is referred to as Whitefriars,
0:28:35 > 0:28:39even if it's Italian glass from the 1950s, Murano glass.
0:28:39 > 0:28:44Having looked at these, they do fit the Whitefriars factory
0:28:44 > 0:28:47with the pontil marks being ground down.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50- Maybe a bit off the boil just at the moment.- They are a bit plain, too plain,
0:28:50 > 0:28:54so really again perhaps ten to 15 on a good day.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58- OK. £28 they paid.- Right.- So that could be a bit tight, too.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01What with the predicted loss on the whisky decanter,
0:29:01 > 0:29:04they're going to need their bonus buy. So let's have a look at it.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09Now, Simon, Liz, you spent £188. £112 went to Philip Serrell.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13- What did you spend it on, old boy? - I did say it would be different!
0:29:15 > 0:29:19- Ooh!- Do you want to take it? I don't actually know what it is!- Oh!
0:29:19 > 0:29:24But I know where it was made. It was made in Glasgow by a company called Gilchrist
0:29:24 > 0:29:26because it's stamped along there.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29- Is it heavy?- Just a touch, yeah!
0:29:29 > 0:29:32- That is very heavy!- Yeah.- Wow.
0:29:32 > 0:29:36I paid £40 for it. They guy I bought it off thought it might be an oat roller,
0:29:36 > 0:29:39which it might be. But if somebody came up with a better idea,
0:29:39 > 0:29:41I could equally believe that.
0:29:41 > 0:29:46- I've seen those back massagers that have all those different things. - Really?!- Seriously, in rubber, Phil!
0:29:46 > 0:29:48- Yes. Absolutely(!) Rubber.- Rubber.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52OK, fine. I think that is going to make at auction...
0:29:52 > 0:29:55I think it's a quirky duff thing and it could make 40 to 60 quid.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58- £40?- It's very aesthetically pleasing.- What's it worth in scrap?
0:29:58 > 0:30:01What's it worth in scrap? We've got Simon here.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03He's so hot on this!
0:30:03 > 0:30:07He's clearly seen what I've bought before in this programme! Thank you!
0:30:07 > 0:30:11You may have made so much profit on your first three items
0:30:11 > 0:30:15- that you don't need to bother with this.- Maybe.- In which case, don't take it.
0:30:15 > 0:30:21But for the audience at home, let's see what the auctioneer makes of Phil's oat crusher.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26OK, Brian. There we go. Over to you. How do you rate that thing?
0:30:26 > 0:30:29I wouldn't like to meet the housewife who could use that one-armed!
0:30:29 > 0:30:34- No.- If you were to buy an oat roller today it would be made of plastic
0:30:34 > 0:30:36- and break after the first few pieces.- I suppose so.
0:30:36 > 0:30:41I'm slightly suspicious about it because it is so beautifully and heavily made.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44The one thing I thought it may be part of something else
0:30:44 > 0:30:46because of the depth of the spikes.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49It's an unusual thing. It's going to grab somebody's attention.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52I think probably 50 to £70, maybe a bit more.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55Well, that cunning old Phil "the fox", Philip Serrell,
0:30:55 > 0:30:59only paid £40 for it, and he knows his way around.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02- So it'll be interesting to see. - It will be.- Anyway,
0:31:02 > 0:31:04that's it for the reds. Now the blues.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08And they kick off with these very nice cordial glasses,
0:31:08 > 0:31:11with the faceted stems. Do you like those, Brian?
0:31:11 > 0:31:13I do like them. A nice good tint to them.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17We've had them under the ultraviolet so they're good lead crystal. They don't glow.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20And also with the bowls, there's pincer marks just in there.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22- Are they worth £50 each?- I think so.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26I think they will for a collector. It's a nice example of the pieces.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29It's a shame they're not air twist stems which everybody's after,
0:31:29 > 0:31:33- but they should make £50 apiece. So 100 to 150.- Very good.
0:31:33 > 0:31:37Excellent. They paid £100, so we've got some hope for a profit there.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41Next, equally charming in their way, the little toast racks.
0:31:41 > 0:31:47- Little, yes. They are rather dainty. - They're fully marked.- They are,
0:31:47 > 0:31:49on the edge there as we can see. Rather nice little things.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52- What's your estimate? - I'd say 40 to 50.- Brilliant.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56- £65 they paid. They're the sort of things that could nudge on.- Yes.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59- Next up, the piggy-wig. - The piggy-wig!
0:31:59 > 0:32:02He's a charming little chap. It's a shame he's not silver.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05- Yes.- Silver is the key really, with pin cushions.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08This one's probably had the pad replaced, as well.
0:32:08 > 0:32:13- So what do you think he's worth? - He's probably going to make 15 to 20.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15OK, £25 they paid.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18So that's not so far off. Just depends on what's going to happen with the glasses.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22On that basis, let's go and have a look at the bonus buy.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26- Now, Ross, Sam, this is exciting, isn't it?- Yep.
0:32:26 > 0:32:31You gave Carlos Hanson £110 to spend. Charles, what did you spend it on?
0:32:31 > 0:32:34I spent the entirety. I've gone big.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37I've gone for the magic of the Far East.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Look at that.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41- Ooh!- Do you like it?- Yes, I do. - It's really nice.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44- You spent £110 on that? - £110. It's Japanese,
0:32:44 > 0:32:46it's circa 1890, 1900,
0:32:46 > 0:32:49and it's what we call the magic of the Meiji period.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53It's the high-brow export that was made for the Western world.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55It's not just a teapot and cover.
0:32:55 > 0:33:00I've also got a milk jug, a sugar bowl, six cups and saucers too,
0:33:00 > 0:33:02all in a similar condition for £110.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05Have a handle of the magic of the Far East.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09All hand-painted, all labour intensive, and it's a jewel!
0:33:09 > 0:33:12- It's really nice.- I like it. How much could it sell for?
0:33:12 > 0:33:17Well, it ought to be having a guide price of 100 to 150.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19I think that's quite reasonable.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22Hopefully on a good day, it could make more towards 200.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25- I hope so, but you never know. - Sam, do you like it?- I do, actually,
0:33:25 > 0:33:29- I'm quite surprised. - Quite surprised? What are you surprised by?
0:33:29 > 0:33:31I think it's really nice.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35- You're surprised you like something that Charles likes?- No, that came out wrong!- I'm surprised!
0:33:35 > 0:33:40- Dear, oh, dear! I think we'll stop while we're still friends!- Yes!
0:33:40 > 0:33:44And for the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Carlos's set.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49Right, Brian. Here we go. Nicely decorated
0:33:49 > 0:33:53- and lots of it.- It is, isn't it? The Geishas there, the pagodas in the background.
0:33:53 > 0:33:57Always Mount Fuji in the background, and the lakes.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59Also the nice mark on the bottom.
0:33:59 > 0:34:04But probably a spurious mark. At this point, Westerners aren't familiar with
0:34:04 > 0:34:07the katakana and hiragana on the bottom of pieces.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09It dates from around 1920, 1930.
0:34:09 > 0:34:15Produced probably more as a souvenir service for people doing the grand tour of the Orient.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18The decoration here is very loose.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21We do see better examples of this type of Satsuma ware.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23- But you've got lots of it. - We have got quite a set.
0:34:23 > 0:34:28- A proper service of six. - It's a good service. We're looking at 80 to £120.
0:34:28 > 0:34:33Charles Hanson has invested £110 of their money and he's optimistic as ever, Charles!
0:34:33 > 0:34:38Anyway, that's it. Brilliant. Are you taking the sale today?
0:34:38 > 0:34:40- Yes, I am.- We're in safe hands.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50- Now, are you nervous?- Yes!
0:34:50 > 0:34:55- I wasn't, but I am now.- You're so brave, but yet so frightened!
0:34:55 > 0:34:57I know!
0:34:57 > 0:35:01First up is your whisky decanter. Here it comes.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Interesting whisky toddy jug here. Shame the label is a little later.
0:35:04 > 0:35:08Interest here with me at 40, 45, 50.
0:35:08 > 0:35:1155. At £55. 60.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15Five. 70. The bid is in the room at £70. Five, anybody else?
0:35:15 > 0:35:1975, fresh place. 80. Five?
0:35:19 > 0:35:22At £80 seated. In the room at 80.
0:35:22 > 0:35:23- In the room, then, at £80.- Uh-oh!
0:35:23 > 0:35:27That means a hit of minus £70. Sorry about that.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Anyway, here comes the Denby jug.
0:35:31 > 0:35:36The Queen Elizabeth II coronation mug by Denby. 1953.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38What can I say for that? £10?
0:35:38 > 0:35:40- Come on!- Five pounds?
0:35:40 > 0:35:43- Come on.- Five I have. Thank you, madam. God bless you.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46At five pounds, then. And eight now elsewhere?
0:35:46 > 0:35:48Any advance on five?
0:35:48 > 0:35:50I don't like the look of this!
0:35:50 > 0:35:54- That's a five pound note.- I thought it would do something on £10.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58The pair of Whitefriars ruby and clear glass bud vases.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00Five pounds? Five I have all over the place.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02And five, eight, ten.
0:36:02 > 0:36:0412? 12. 15.
0:36:04 > 0:36:0718? At 15, then, seated.
0:36:07 > 0:36:08At 15.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Oh, dear!
0:36:11 > 0:36:14£15. So minus £13 on that.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16That's minus 88.
0:36:16 > 0:36:20- It's all going well, isn't it?- Yes. - Fantastic(!)
0:36:20 > 0:36:25Chaps. Now, to roll or not to roll, that is the question.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28- We'll roll.- We need the bus fare home, Tim.- Going with it?- Yes.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31- We're going with the roller. - It's interesting.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33And here comes the so-called oat roller.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37The brass oat crusher or roller by Gilchrist of Glasgow.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39Interesting thing. I'm sure you all want one!
0:36:39 > 0:36:40LAUGHTER
0:36:40 > 0:36:43Interest here with me at £50.
0:36:43 > 0:36:4955. 60. Five. 70. Five. At £75. 80.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52At 80 here. Five now elsewhere.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55- At £80, the bid is in the room. - He's doubled his money!
0:36:55 > 0:36:59- I'm sure you want one. At £80, then. - We've cut our loss a bit.
0:36:59 > 0:37:00Selling at 80.
0:37:00 > 0:37:04£80 it's gone for. Well done, P.Serrell. That's plus £40.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07- Thank you.- That's the way to produce a bonus buy
0:37:07 > 0:37:10and cut 'em up. Plus 40.
0:37:10 > 0:37:16Which means overall, you are only now minus 48, which could easily be a winning score.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19- Just don't say a word to the blues. - We won't!
0:37:19 > 0:37:21- Not a word. Thank you.- Thank you.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Well done. Thanks, Phil.
0:37:31 > 0:37:36- So, Ross, Sam. Do you know how the reds got on?- No.- No.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38- Haven't been chatting?- No.- Good.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42We don't want that. Overall, I reckon you guys are going to do OK.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46Then you've got the Satsuma tea-set to fall back on if you need it.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50- OK? Are you cool?- Yes.- Everybody cool?- Yes.- Charles, cool?
0:37:50 > 0:37:52- Very confident. - Nobody cooler than Charles.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55First up is your drinking glasses. Here they come.
0:37:55 > 0:37:59A pair of George III fluted drinking glasses, circa 1780.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01And here with me at 50.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04Five. 60. Five.
0:38:04 > 0:38:0670. Five. 80.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09Five. 90 now. 90.
0:38:09 > 0:38:14- Five. 100?- Moving.- 110? 120. - We're in profit. Good.
0:38:14 > 0:38:15130. 140?
0:38:15 > 0:38:17- 130.- Yes.- Shake of the head there.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20- 140, do I see?- Well done, Charlie. - £130, then.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24130. That is £30 profit straight up. That is so good.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27Now, these toast racks.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30Toast racks. Dinky little things, for if you're on a diet!
0:38:30 > 0:38:33What do I say here? Commission bid with me
0:38:33 > 0:38:35at 35. 40. 45. 50.
0:38:35 > 0:38:3750 bid here with me.
0:38:37 > 0:38:38Five.
0:38:38 > 0:38:4255. 60. Five. 70. Five.
0:38:42 > 0:38:4480. Five.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47At £80 commission back with me, then.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50- Five now elsewhere? At £80, then, all done.- Love it, Charles.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53- At £80.- That is plus £15.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56I love that, don't you? £15.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59- You were doubting, weren't you? - I didn't like them.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02Now the pig pin cushion.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05The little piggy's here. What do I see for that? £15?
0:39:05 > 0:39:0815 straightaway. Thank you. 18 now?
0:39:08 > 0:39:11At £15 here. 18. 20?
0:39:11 > 0:39:1320. 22. 25.
0:39:13 > 0:39:17- 28. 30.- You're in profit. I love it.
0:39:17 > 0:39:1935. 38. 40. 42.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21Oh, my pig!
0:39:21 > 0:39:23At £40 in the room, then.
0:39:23 > 0:39:2440.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27It came to market and it sold. Plus £15.
0:39:27 > 0:39:31- Well done!- So, you've got 30 plus 30 is plus 60.
0:39:31 > 0:39:32Perfect.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35Now, there's a bit of a decision to make here, OK?
0:39:35 > 0:39:41So, do you park your £60-worth of profit,
0:39:41 > 0:39:43which is lovely, could be a winning score.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46Or do you risk it to go with the Satsuma tea-set?
0:39:46 > 0:39:48I think we should go with it. I really like it.
0:39:48 > 0:39:53- Shall we? Shall we go with it? Really?- Yeah, why not?
0:39:53 > 0:39:54Oh, no!
0:39:54 > 0:39:58- Are we sensible here?- Probably not sensible, but...- Not sensible.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01- Quickly, you've got to decide!- We're not going with it.- You're not?
0:40:01 > 0:40:03- I thought you were?- I don't know.
0:40:03 > 0:40:08- What do you think, Sam?- Let's go for it.- We're going to go for it?- Yes!
0:40:09 > 0:40:14It's not easy. You've got 60, for goodness' sake. Do you want to keep it or...
0:40:14 > 0:40:17- Do we get a golden gavel if... - Don't worry about that!
0:40:17 > 0:40:20- Are you going with the bonus buy or not?- No.- No?- No.- OK, no.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22- No.- No.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25- No, we're not. Quickly.- No.- No.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28Right. We're not going with the bonus buy.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32- Dear, oh, dear!- Lot 75 is the Japanese Satsuma tea-service.
0:40:32 > 0:40:36- Lot 75. Satsuma tea-service. - Watch it make 400!- 20th century.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38With the figural decoration.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41What do I say for this? £80?
0:40:41 > 0:40:45- Really chancing.- It is chancing. - Bid me 40?
0:40:45 > 0:40:47- Oh, no!- No commission bids.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51£20? Thank you, sir. At 20. 22. 25.
0:40:51 > 0:40:5328. 30.
0:40:53 > 0:40:5632. 35.
0:40:56 > 0:40:5838. 40?
0:40:58 > 0:40:59Sure?
0:40:59 > 0:41:01Keep going!
0:41:01 > 0:41:03£38. Bid is in the room. In the room at 38.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05No bid on the internet.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08- Yes! 38.- We made the right choice! Thank God for that!
0:41:08 > 0:41:10- You did make the right choice. - Painful, isn't it?
0:41:10 > 0:41:13- That's two shy of 40. - I would have paid that.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16That would have been minus £72, lads.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19- We did the right thing, then. - You did the right thing.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21- You parked it.- You parked up. - Just about!
0:41:21 > 0:41:24You are plus £60, OK?
0:41:24 > 0:41:29Don't let anybody say you're indecisive because that's not true!
0:41:29 > 0:41:32- Listen, don't say a word to the reds, all right?- No.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35- Completely sealed up?- Definitely.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37All will be revealed in a moment. Well done.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47Well, it's been a mixed bag, hasn't it?
0:41:47 > 0:41:51I don't know! Been chatting, the reds and the blues, about the scores?
0:41:51 > 0:41:53ALL: No.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55Well, we can only have one runner-up per show.
0:41:55 > 0:41:59And the runners-up today are the reds.
0:42:01 > 0:42:05Sorry about that. Overall score, minus 48.
0:42:05 > 0:42:09- But it could have been so much worse without Phil's roller.- OK.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13That rolled out a profit of £40, which actually was very good going.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16- Yes.- Should have had more like that. - Yes. You were just unlucky.
0:42:16 > 0:42:22- But you had fun?- We have had fun, yes.- Thank you, Phil for your very profitable bonus buy.
0:42:22 > 0:42:29But turning to the victors today, who are going home with £60 profit. How about that?
0:42:29 > 0:42:33That's the full 60. Not only do they go home with their profit,
0:42:33 > 0:42:38they also go home with the very special award, which is the golden gavel!
0:42:38 > 0:42:42The ancient award of the golden gavel. There we go.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45Take one of those. That's great, Sam. Thank you very much.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48- And another one for your collection, Charles.- Wonderful!
0:42:48 > 0:42:53And you get that for getting a profit on each of your items, which you succeeded in doing.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56It's a difficult thing in the best of times. I congratulate you.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59- Thank you.- Happy with that? - Really pleased.- Yes, definitely.
0:42:59 > 0:43:04- It's a very good result, Charles. - It is. Delighted.- We're all very, very chuffed.
0:43:04 > 0:43:08We're so chuffed, join us soon for some more Bargain Hunting. Yes?
