0:00:04 > 0:00:09Today we're at Ardingly in the High Weald of West Sussex -
0:00:09 > 0:00:12an area of outstanding natural beauty.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15But do you know what's even more beautiful?
0:00:15 > 0:00:19Let's go bargain hunting! Yeah!
0:00:45 > 0:00:47What a great day
0:00:47 > 0:00:50to take £300, spend it on three items,
0:00:50 > 0:00:53take it to auction and hopefully make a profit
0:00:53 > 0:00:56and we just happen to have a whole host of white vans,
0:00:56 > 0:00:59experts, contestants,
0:00:59 > 0:01:03all knocking about, and let's take a peek at what's coming up.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06More vans here than there are antiques! Morning!
0:01:08 > 0:01:09Are you happy, darling?
0:01:09 > 0:01:12The Reds are laughing all the way to the auction...
0:01:12 > 0:01:14BOTH: Yes!
0:01:14 > 0:01:16..with a clear aim in mind.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20- I need to win the golden gavel.- He needs to win it.- He needs to win it.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23And it's clear who's the boss of the Blues.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26- We don't want those - I don't want those, Mark!
0:01:26 > 0:01:29If you say I like it, dear, I like it.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31But who will emerge victorious?
0:01:31 > 0:01:33109, thank you.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34Let's meet today's teams.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Today we have couples as a theme on our programme.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42For the Reds - Paul and Ian, for the Blues - Linda and David.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- Welcome everyone.- ALL: Hello, Tim. - Lovely to see you.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Now, how did you two get together?
0:01:47 > 0:01:5115 years ago, I clapped eyes on this young man, at a quite well-known
0:01:51 > 0:01:55gentleman's drinking establishment in Clapham.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57But we didn't actually get together until two years later.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59And what you do for a living, Paul?
0:01:59 > 0:02:02I'm an Executive Housekeeper at the Holiday Inn in Mayfair.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05This is a good ad for them, isn't it? Gosh!
0:02:05 > 0:02:08But you started off as a chef?
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- I did, yes, I trained for three years to be a chef.- What happened?
0:02:11 > 0:02:15I love cooking, but didn't like to do it in a professional kitchen,
0:02:15 > 0:02:18so I can give great dinner parties,
0:02:18 > 0:02:20but I went down a different track.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24- And what's your main aim today, Paul?- Is to spend not much
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- and win a golden gavel.- You want the golden gavel?- Yes, desperately.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- You're going to get a profit on all three items, are you?- Yes, I am.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33- Is that the prediction?- Yes.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36It says here, Ian, that you're the more frugal of the two.
0:02:36 > 0:02:41- Does that mean you're a bit tight? - I'd say careful is the word.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44I don't mind spending money, but I don't like to be...
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- Are you from north of the border, by any chance?- A little bit!
0:02:48 > 0:02:50What do you collect yourself?
0:02:50 > 0:02:5320th-century glassware, some ceramics,
0:02:53 > 0:02:56but our house was built
0:02:56 > 0:02:59in 1908, so we're kind of looking at art and crafts, Edwardian...
0:02:59 > 0:03:02You might be buying a bit of that today, for the show.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04If it's there, and at the right price. Yeah.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07I love that, don't you? The right price!
0:03:07 > 0:03:11But what is the right price? We're about to discover.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Anyway, good luck, chaps. Meanwhile, you two -
0:03:14 > 0:03:16how did you both meet, David?
0:03:16 > 0:03:18We were introduced by mutual friends,
0:03:18 > 0:03:2020 years ago on a blind date
0:03:20 > 0:03:22and we had a fish and chip supper
0:03:22 > 0:03:24and got married three years later.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28Was it the result of the fish and chips or the friends' introductions?
0:03:28 > 0:03:32No! Seriously, so, what did you do when you were in work?
0:03:32 > 0:03:37I worked for just over 30 years in the police
0:03:37 > 0:03:39and then I worked for ten years
0:03:39 > 0:03:42in the Royal Courts of Justice in the Strand.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44What are you into now, though, oh, antiques?
0:03:44 > 0:03:46No! Since I've been retired,
0:03:46 > 0:03:49I've found that I've had the opportunity to
0:03:49 > 0:03:52be able to learn a script again, so I'm in the Smarden Players,
0:03:52 > 0:03:54which is in an am-dram group near our village.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- It says here you like silver if you can get hold of it.- Yes, I do.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- What sort of thing do you like? - Anything that's got a little bit
0:04:00 > 0:04:03of history and you can trace its history,
0:04:03 > 0:04:07but it would be even better if I could find out who previously owned it.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Linda, what did you do before you retired?
0:04:09 > 0:04:13I was a teacher for 36 years altogether.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14What age group did you teach?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Generally it was the infant group,
0:04:16 > 0:04:19what they call Key Stage One now, five, six.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21All the little toads!
0:04:21 > 0:04:23I won't say that, in case there's some parents watching!
0:04:23 > 0:04:27Medium-sized toads. Great. But you do a bit of WI work, don't you?
0:04:27 > 0:04:28Yes, I enjoy that.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32I'm secretary of the local WI, which gives me an outlet,
0:04:32 > 0:04:34most of the year, but then once a year,
0:04:34 > 0:04:37I come out in competition against David in the panto.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- Oh, do you?- Yes, I sort of tread the boards
0:04:40 > 0:04:42and I try to make him
0:04:42 > 0:04:46feel a little bit inferior because I always have a leading role, you see.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Do you? And do you wear those very, very tight trousers
0:04:48 > 0:04:50and slap your hips a lot?
0:04:50 > 0:04:54- I have done, I have done that. - There we go. Multitalented!
0:04:54 > 0:04:56I think you're going to do rather well on today's show.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Now, the money moment. Here's your £300, £300.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02You know the rules, your experts await and off you go!
0:05:03 > 0:05:04So there we are, then,
0:05:04 > 0:05:09but from whose expertise will they be benefiting today?
0:05:09 > 0:05:14On the Red team is that bonny belle, Anita Manning,
0:05:14 > 0:05:18and with the Blues is the genial gent, Mark Stacey.
0:05:18 > 0:05:23Who will win? I don't know. Let's find out.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27David, Linda, I know you're into your amateur dramatics, aren't you?
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- Very much so.- Are we going to have any dramatics today, do you think?
0:05:30 > 0:05:34Maybe, but not as dramatic as our next show - Calendar Girls!
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Guys, here we are. What are we going to buy today
0:05:38 > 0:05:41and what are our tactics going to be?
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Well, I need to win the golden gavel.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- He needs to win it? - He needs to win it.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49I need to have a pin there.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- Let's get out there and get some bargains.- Absolutely.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57So, the Red team has high hopes.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Will it be a golden gavel day today?
0:06:00 > 0:06:01Only time will tell.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Do let me know if you see anything that grabs your fancy.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07And I'll say no.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Don't worry, Blues, he's only joking!
0:06:09 > 0:06:12I think!
0:06:12 > 0:06:16It's definitely got a bit of je ne sais quoi.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- How much are the bookends? - 200.- Too rich for us.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21We're Scottish, what can you say?
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Gosh, isn't that lovely?
0:06:25 > 0:06:29You sure you can afford that, Blues?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31You put me off now when you said, "Stunning."
0:06:31 > 0:06:34I know it's going to be out of our budget. Move on.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Our Blues have got expensive tastes,
0:06:37 > 0:06:42whereas Paul on the Red team, fancies anything broken,
0:06:42 > 0:06:44damaged or scratched.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Damaged, damaged, but you like damaged things, don't you?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50I know, I know, but damaged china and class.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52He only likes damaged china and class.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54- Health and safety wouldn't allow it.- Right!
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Bashed, cracked, chipped, get drawn to them.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01I like older mirrors. You look younger in older mirrors!
0:07:01 > 0:07:04If you say so, Anita. Now, have the Blues
0:07:04 > 0:07:06found something within budget?
0:07:06 > 0:07:10- That's a bit different. - It's rather fun, isn't it?
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- And it looks quite comfy for the bottom.- And quite solid, as well.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16- Want to try it out? Go on. - Be careful, dear. Take your time.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20- Are they insured? - We might have to lift him up.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Oh, there we are. It is Jake The Peg.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- Tell you what, it's very comfortable.- Is it?- It is.
0:07:25 > 0:07:30- But will the price be comfortable? - It's 275.- Put it down.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Ouch! Within budget, but only just.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Never mind, onward and downward.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- OK.- Thank you.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Let me handle it.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47- Careful, Anita, all breakages must be paid for!- My hero!
0:07:47 > 0:07:51- What do you think? - What do you think?- Too modern.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55- Well, how about something a bit more old fashioned?- BOTH: Oh!
0:07:58 > 0:07:59How much is that?
0:07:59 > 0:08:03I've got 220 on it, but you could have it for 180?
0:08:03 > 0:08:08This would have been worn at a ceremonial occasion,
0:08:08 > 0:08:12by a police officer, perhaps,
0:08:12 > 0:08:16and I think that would have gone on his shoulder.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- How much did you say?- 180.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21It's a Birmingham make.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Sort of, mid-Victorian.
0:08:25 > 0:08:30I think that's a very nice item.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Do you guys like this?
0:08:32 > 0:08:36We came straight to the cabinet and I went, "Wow!"
0:08:36 > 0:08:40- I like the fact...- You were drawn to the cabinet.- I was drawn!
0:08:40 > 0:08:44I like the fact, I've seen this whistle on its own.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47180. It's not dear to buy,
0:08:47 > 0:08:50but it's a bit dear for us to buy.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- 165 is the lowest I can go.- Is it?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Could you come to 150?
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- Could you come to 150? - Go on. It's cold.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03I know! I have to make a living!
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Go on then, go on then.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09I think, but it's up to you, it's a lot of money
0:09:09 > 0:09:12but I think it's a good buy.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- Shall we go for it?- Yes, I think. - That's wonderful.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- Thanks very much.- Well done, team.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21£30 off the original price
0:09:21 > 0:09:23and the first one in the old bag.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Although, I think Paul would have preferred something a bit more battered.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30Are you happy? I mean, I know this isn't broken and I know
0:09:30 > 0:09:33you like bits that are a bit chipped and broken.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35It's a bit more than I'd like to spend,
0:09:35 > 0:09:38but I do...
0:09:38 > 0:09:41I've seen them before and I do like them.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44I'm convinced, I don't know about you.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46I'm very surprised Ian made the first purchase.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Normally very wary and you just wants to look
0:09:48 > 0:09:52- and make sure he's happy with everything.- It's quality.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56I'm normally the one who jumps in and says, "I want that, that, that!"
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Will the quality item bring a quality price at the auction?
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Silver is all the rage.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06Now, the Blues have also spotted a chunky lump.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10- Oh, it's quite stylish, isn't it? - It is - rather different, yes.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Oh, well spotted, David.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- It looks nice and... - Chunky.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15Yeah, absolutely.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18< Yeah, it's a heavy piece. What do you think, David?
0:10:18 > 0:10:21You like it? < How much money have you got left? Ha-ha!
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- Ah, well!- We're going to negotiate if we can!
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Yes. We don't want to pay that, do we?
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Er, we never want to pay that really, do we?! But...
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- No, it is usual to try and get a deal.- Right.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33I mean, what were you thinking of?
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- You both like it very much, I can see that.- Yes.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- Well, about...- Now...
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- Under 100.- Ask this gentleman. - No, I can't do that.- No.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43- That - I'm sorry, I can't negotiate that much.- No?
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- 125 is about the best on it. - 125, yes...
0:10:46 > 0:10:48You see, the trouble is, the bullion value...
0:10:48 > 0:10:49Yeah. < ..keeps the price up.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Can we hold on to it? Can we sort of come back to it, or not?
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Well, it's up to the dealer, it's not up to me to do that.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- Give us a little bit of time... - I'll keep it for 45 minutes for you.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00- Thank you.- If that's OK.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Appreciate it, thank you.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05How lovely! Well played, Blues.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07But don't forget. The clock is ticking.
0:11:07 > 0:11:08Woof!
0:11:08 > 0:11:10We'll find other things, I'm sure.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13You need to, Mark - you've not bought anything yet!
0:11:13 > 0:11:16How much is the fish? They were going to be very, very careful,
0:11:16 > 0:11:20- but they're doing half of it.- 150 and a portion of chips you get as well!
0:11:20 > 0:11:22- Do you get chips?- And vinegar! - Salt and vinegar!
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Oh, you get the lot!
0:11:26 > 0:11:28What's this? More silver?
0:11:28 > 0:11:31These brooches are right up Anita's street.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33This one's hallmarked.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36And it is a Glasgow hallmark.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37- Oh!- Glasgow silver!
0:11:37 > 0:11:39- Provincial silver, yeah. - We'll be fighting over it.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43The question is, how much would it be for the two?
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Well, they're normally 20 each, but as Bargain Hunt are here,
0:11:46 > 0:11:50making me a little bit famous, you can have them at 30 for the two.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51< 30 for the two.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Normally I get 20 on each one,
0:11:53 > 0:11:56so you're going to get a profit either way you look at it.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00Erm... < Could you do them for 20?
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Could you do them for 20? I can do 25.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- 25.- 25, and you really are stretching me now.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Am I stretching you? Yeah!
0:12:10 > 0:12:13What about Paul - is he happier with these?
0:12:13 > 0:12:16I want you to tell me what you think about it.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- I-I...- Because us, we like them!
0:12:19 > 0:12:21- I...- And I think...
0:12:21 > 0:12:22I-I... I love it. This is...
0:12:22 > 0:12:25I just absolutely just love it.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27And if it's Scottish silver as well, it just makes it even better,
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- it really, really does. - Do you both like them?
0:12:30 > 0:12:31I just think they're adorable.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33I think we'll take them. Thank you.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Ah, well done, guys, well done! Thank you.
0:12:36 > 0:12:37Good work, Reds.
0:12:37 > 0:12:42Nearly half the shopping hour gone, and two items snapped up.
0:12:42 > 0:12:43The Blues, on the other hand,
0:12:43 > 0:12:47are still combing the stalls for their first item.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- A silver comb holder. - Mmm.- I think it's pretty.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- Ridiculous thing, though.- Yes, it is!
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Why on earth would you want a silver comb holder?!
0:12:54 > 0:12:58But people do like little... In a collector's cabinet...
0:12:58 > 0:13:01I think it's probably Dutch or something - certainly continental.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04If you look undern... Oh, look, it says Denmark there, actually.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08- Oh.- So I was completely right when I said I thought it was Dutch(!)
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Not too far off, Mark!
0:13:10 > 0:13:12I mean, actually, if you look at the scene,
0:13:12 > 0:13:14it's a sort of wine harvest scene or something, isn't it?
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- Oh, right.- It's in good order.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- Good relief, isn't it?- It is.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21I would say, see what we can get it for, and buy it.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- What do you think, Linda?- Yes, well, it's cheap enough, isn't it?
0:13:24 > 0:13:26- It's reasonable.- Reasonable price. - I'm just confirming,
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- that's what I think! - Yeah, we have to confirm, don't we?
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- If it doesn't make a profit, she'll blame us anyway.- Yes, I think
0:13:32 > 0:13:33it's worth finding out.
0:13:33 > 0:13:34< £14.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- Yes!- Oh!- He's quick, he's very decisive, isn't he?
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Not the best haggle I've ever heard...
0:13:40 > 0:13:42- It's a novelty item, isn't it? - It's good fun.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44We'll have that - thank you.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46..but nevertheless, the Blues are off the mark,
0:13:46 > 0:13:49and we've another piece of silver to add to the collection.
0:13:49 > 0:13:5230 minutes, so we're halfway through.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55We've got two items, so well done, I'm proud of you!
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Er, we've spent how much?
0:13:58 > 0:14:00£175.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02- So we've got a reasonable amount left.- Left.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06And on both items, I think we've got the chance of
0:14:06 > 0:14:08- making a bit of profit. - Bit of profit, I think so.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11- So we might see that golden gavel! - Yes, hopefully!
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Come on, let's go and get another one!
0:14:17 > 0:14:19- We can take it easy now, we're on track.- No, don't take it easy!
0:14:19 > 0:14:22No? Right, OK, you're the expert.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Ha-ha! Sometimes!
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Quite right, Anita - you're not finished yet,
0:14:26 > 0:14:29and the Blues are having a bit of trouble choosing their second item.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- Is that a no, is it? - No?- Er, cheers...
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Time for a team talk, Mark.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Now, what about this necklace and this bracelet?
0:14:37 > 0:14:40I really like that. I really do like the look of that.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- What do you say? - I like the idea of something
0:14:43 > 0:14:45matching, that a lady could wear.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47- What was the...?- I know both your eyes lit up when you held it,
0:14:47 > 0:14:51because you felt the quality - but what did he quote, 100 and...?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53- 125.- Five.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55So, with that, it would be 130.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57I mean, if we could get... try and get at least a fiver off,
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- what would you like to get it for? - 110, maybe?
0:15:00 > 0:15:04- That would be lovely, but I suspect that's pushing him too far.- Yeah.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- Do you want to go back, so we know we've got it?- Yeah.- I think I would.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10- Then we've got two items.- We'll know how much we've got for the third.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12- Shall we do that? - Yes.- Yes, that's fine.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14- Let's do that.- Fine. Excellent.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18It's down to David and Linda to clinch the deal.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20- Can I just have another little feel, and...?- Yep.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23What about the bracelet?
0:15:23 > 0:15:25- DAVID AND DEALER LAUGH - Cheeky!
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Dirty beast! What's this, Carry On Bargain Hunting?
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Erm, would you consider going any lower?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32You said 125 to start with.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34All right. 125.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36- LOW VOICE:- How about 120?!
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Huh-huh(!) The old ones are the best!
0:15:38 > 0:15:40- 120.- 110...- No, that's a bit cheeky.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43No. I'll take 120, that's fair enough.
0:15:43 > 0:15:44Oh, there we are. Take your glove off.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46He's going to shake your hand on that, I think!
0:15:46 > 0:15:48- Jolly good, OK. - Thank you very much.- Thank you!
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Well done, Blues. We can add that lot
0:15:51 > 0:15:53to today's heap of silver.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55- It sounds like you've done the deal. - Oh, yes, he has.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57- This gentleman's been very kind... - Oh, has he?
0:15:57 > 0:15:59- ..and let us have it for 120. - Do you think...that's good?
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Well, you love it, and I'm pleased you love it.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04I think it's good quality,
0:16:04 > 0:16:06and we've got every chance with that, I think.
0:16:06 > 0:16:07It's unusual, it's heavy -
0:16:07 > 0:16:12it's different. And even the little quirky item, the comb, you know...
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- But I looked to you for confirmation that I really do like it.- Well...
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- Because you generally tell me what I like.- I do like them.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20I'm hoping that I'll find something maybe...
0:16:20 > 0:16:23wooden, or something a bit different, next time.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25- Wooden? You've got me, dear! - Oh, dear.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27David's gags may be questionable,
0:16:27 > 0:16:30but this couple do seem to know what they're doing.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33They're cooking. They really know what they want, you see?
0:16:33 > 0:16:36My challenge now is to find something a bit more interesting,
0:16:36 > 0:16:38that maybe isn't silver.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Here, here! It's time to break the mould.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45No more silver, please!
0:16:45 > 0:16:47What are you looking at here?
0:16:47 > 0:16:51These tins were given by Princess Mary to the troops
0:16:51 > 0:16:53in 1914.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57- She got funds together from the public...- Mm-hmm.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00..to send away a present, Christmas present,
0:17:00 > 0:17:03to the troops just at the beginning of the war,
0:17:03 > 0:17:05and this was one of the things - tell me why you like it.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Just the history of it, you know,
0:17:07 > 0:17:10and you know these things went to the trenches -
0:17:10 > 0:17:12and they did survive.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14And I just...
0:17:14 > 0:17:18And anything to do with royalty I really like as well,
0:17:18 > 0:17:20- so it's just something... - He's a monarchist.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22It's just... Yes!
0:17:22 > 0:17:25So, I just think it's...just adorable,
0:17:25 > 0:17:27and I would like to own one as well.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30It looks battered enough for Paul all right.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33I'm not sure Ian's feeling it, though.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36He wants to buy this! He wants to buy this!
0:17:36 > 0:17:39But is it...? Is it TOO damaged, though?
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- Wait a minute!- I know, like...
0:17:42 > 0:17:44He doesn't mind things that are damaged!
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Chipped and cracked - well, there we go!
0:17:47 > 0:17:51- He doesn't mind things that have a wee bit of damage there!- Job done!
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Is that right? And you love it?
0:17:53 > 0:17:55- Look at his wee face. - Look at that face, I know.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59- How can you say no to that? - We can't say no to you, can we?
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Yeah, I like it!
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Well, who can resist a face like that?(!)
0:18:05 > 0:18:09If there was no damage on it, it would be,
0:18:09 > 0:18:12erm, fine - it's just that there's a tear on it.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- Obviously it's been damaged in the trenches.- Yes.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17- What did she say, ten? - < Go on, then, ten.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- I do like it. - Go on, then - pay the woman.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22- Er, excuse me...? - Well, it made him happy!
0:18:22 > 0:18:25- < We'll take it - for ten. - You could tell by his face,
0:18:25 > 0:18:27he just...he just loved that.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Are you happy, darling? Aw!
0:18:31 > 0:18:32Thank you!
0:18:32 > 0:18:34So, a happy Paul and his £10 tin
0:18:34 > 0:18:37round off the Reds' shop, well within their one-hour limit.
0:18:37 > 0:18:38Congrats.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42So, the Reds can take a leisurely wander round the fair.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45But it's a different story with the Blues...
0:18:45 > 0:18:47So we're looking for something completely different.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- Yes. Something wooden. - Something wooden...?
0:18:50 > 0:18:5320 minutes left, one item to find, and Linda knows
0:18:53 > 0:18:55what she wants and doesn't want.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- We don't want those.- We don't, no. - I don't want those, Mark.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00No! You've been told, David!
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Oh, I like a woman who takes control!
0:19:02 > 0:19:05- Shall we have a look in here? - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08I'm trying to do the maths - I don't know how much we've got left.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10- Erm, well, about 160 quid.- Ooh!
0:19:10 > 0:19:1315 minutes left, Blues - but haven't you lost someone?
0:19:13 > 0:19:17Where's David? David, come away from there.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Ooh, bossy! But he's good at doing what he's told!
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- The top comes off, does it? Good. - What about this?
0:19:23 > 0:19:26It's wooden - well, partly - so that's a good start.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30- I'm not sure how old it is...- No. - ..but it's in a French style...
0:19:30 > 0:19:33- Mm-hmm. - ..with these sort of fluted...
0:19:33 > 0:19:35columns and the sort of flame.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38It's just very decorative as a little lamp table, side table.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42- And it's useful.- Could put a gin and tonic on that, Mark.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45I'm liking your thought. I mean, because it's an antique look,
0:19:45 > 0:19:49I think it would still go into the type of sale we're going into.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- Sure.- But I can see maybe a private couple
0:19:52 > 0:19:56liking the fact that's it's slightly shabby chic, isn't it?
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- Is it worth asking the best price? - I think, yeah, it would be worth...
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Hello, how are you? Nice to see you.
0:20:02 > 0:20:07- Erm, we know it's not terribly old but it looks very decorative.- Yes.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10And we quite like it - the team like it here. Erm...
0:20:10 > 0:20:12- 50 quid.- 50 quid...
0:20:12 > 0:20:13- Not even 45?- Hey?
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- 45?- OK, 45, go on.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Shall we give it a whirl, David?
0:20:18 > 0:20:20- If you say I like it, dear, I like it.- It's different.- 45.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- Are you happy with that?- Thank you very much.- Promise?- Yes, yes.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26- OK, we'll have it for 45. Thank you. - Thank you.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Hurrah!
0:20:29 > 0:20:32All done, and Linda got her wooden item.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Both teams finished early -
0:20:34 > 0:20:35whatever next?!
0:20:35 > 0:20:37I'm normally scrambling around
0:20:37 > 0:20:39with every second to spare to find something!
0:20:39 > 0:20:41- So, the next stop is the auction. - Yes.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44- How confident are we feeling?- Erm...
0:20:44 > 0:20:47- Fairly.- Really? I don't want "fairly"!
0:20:47 > 0:20:50- I want, "Very confident"!- Very! Very!
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Or, "very fairly"!
0:20:52 > 0:20:53THEY LAUGH
0:20:53 > 0:20:55The Reds are still enjoying the fair.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59Let's leave them to it, and remind ourselves what they bought.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06First up, they blew half their loot
0:21:06 > 0:21:09on this Victorian silver whistle, chain and clasp.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13The silver theme continued
0:21:13 > 0:21:16with these brooches - a pretty pair at £25.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20And the Princess Mary tin cost them £10,
0:21:20 > 0:21:22and made Paul a very happy chappy.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Are you happy, darling? Aw!
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Right, boys - are you a fan of Anita Manning's now?
0:21:28 > 0:21:31- Oh, yes!- Oh, yes!
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- The mighty Manning. - So you've had a great time?
0:21:33 > 0:21:35- It's been fantastic. - How much did you spend?
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- 185. 185.- Did you? 185.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- So, who's got the £115 of leftover lolly?- I have.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Oh, Paul! You have!
0:21:43 > 0:21:47- Which is your favourite piece?- It's got to be the Princess Mary tin.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Do you agree with that? A bit tinny, wasn't it?
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Well, I wasn't as keen as he was, but he fell in love with it,
0:21:53 > 0:21:56- so we just had to go with it. - But is that your favourite piece?
0:21:56 > 0:21:57- No.- Which is your favourite?
0:21:57 > 0:22:00The silver ceremonial policeman's whistle.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04- Which will bring the biggest profit? - I think maybe the brooches,
0:22:04 > 0:22:07maybe, because they're Glasgow silver, so we've got good luck here.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Listen, you're all over the shop,
0:22:09 > 0:22:11you don't know which way you're going!
0:22:11 > 0:22:14- Anyway, £115 goes to the lovely Anita.- Thank you.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16What are you going to do with that, darling?
0:22:16 > 0:22:19I'm going to try and spend every single penny of it.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23Are you? That's what I like to hear. She's my girl!
0:22:23 > 0:22:25That's marvellous. Anyway, have a nice cup of tea, boys,
0:22:25 > 0:22:27good luck, Anita. Meanwhile,
0:22:27 > 0:22:29why don't we find out what the Blues bought, hey?
0:22:29 > 0:22:33The Blues also showed a penchant for silver -
0:22:33 > 0:22:37they bought the comb-holder for a slicked-back price of £14.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41The silver necklace and bracelet were much chunkier,
0:22:41 > 0:22:42with a price to match.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Finally, they steered themselves away from silver
0:22:47 > 0:22:51to buy a marble-topped table for £45.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Now, which is your favourite piece out of the three that you bought?
0:22:54 > 0:22:58I think the silver jewellery is my favourite piece.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00- Mmm...- Do you agree with that, Linda?
0:23:00 > 0:23:02No, I'm favouring the table.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06- As the favourite favourite.- Mmm. - Will that bring the biggest profit?
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Ah, well, that I don't know.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11- Have a guess.- Well, it might do. - What do you think, David?
0:23:11 > 0:23:15I think the comb in the silver case is going to make the most profit.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19- Do you? And you spent all round...? - £179.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21£179 - I'd like £121, please.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24I've got the big money - here we are.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- That's got the folding money, lovely.- And I've got the £1.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Oh, this is typical, isn't it? That's the male contribution.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- Brilliant, and straight over to Mark.- Thank you, Tim.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38- What are you going to do with that? - I don't know, but it's a big fair
0:23:38 > 0:23:40with lots of dealers, and I want to find something
0:23:40 > 0:23:43that they haven't bought already, something to shock them.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46- Oh!- Right! That will be interesting! - Something shocking, then!
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- Don't know if that's easy or not?! - Good luck with that!
0:23:49 > 0:23:52I can't wait to see what it is! Have a lovely cup of tea.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- Thank you. - Meanwhile, we're heading west!
0:23:57 > 0:24:00I'm in the centre of Bristol,
0:24:00 > 0:24:02and this little red door,
0:24:02 > 0:24:06so unassuming that you might walk past it and never notice,
0:24:06 > 0:24:09actually leads somewhere rather special.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13This is the Red Lodge, built around 1580
0:24:13 > 0:24:17in the grounds of a mansion known as the Great House,
0:24:17 > 0:24:21which once stood on the site of Bristol's Colston Hall.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Bristol was a very wealthy city
0:24:24 > 0:24:27in the 16th century, with ships going on voyages
0:24:27 > 0:24:31trading tea and sugar, spices and glass beads.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37The first owner of the estate was a wealthy Bristol merchant,
0:24:37 > 0:24:39John Young,
0:24:39 > 0:24:43who entertained Queen Elizabeth I here in the Great House.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46And she knighted him on that visit -
0:24:46 > 0:24:48"Arise, Sir John!"
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Ooh, hello!
0:24:52 > 0:24:56The Great House was demolished in the 1860s,
0:24:56 > 0:24:59and this room, in the Banqueting Lodge,
0:24:59 > 0:25:02is all that remains of the Tudor core.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05But, cor! Isn't it impressive?!
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Amazing wainscot panelling.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11which goes all the way around the room, but in this corner,
0:25:11 > 0:25:16we've got a seriously oddball Tudor porchway.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18But if you look at the detail,
0:25:18 > 0:25:21it's quite extraordinary - we start off with two blocks at the bottom,
0:25:21 > 0:25:25which are carved with shallow strapwork.
0:25:25 > 0:25:30They then support a whole series of elaborate fluted columns,
0:25:30 > 0:25:33with this tiny little dwarf's door, which is the oddball thing,
0:25:33 > 0:25:38when you think about the space of the room that it comes into.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41The feature that is 100% genuine
0:25:41 > 0:25:45is the Bath stone fireplace - quite extraordinary.
0:25:45 > 0:25:50We've got in the centre the coat of arms of the Young family,
0:25:50 > 0:25:55surrounded by alabaster plaques of virtues.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58But it's these fellas on the outside I'm interested in,
0:25:58 > 0:26:02because these, strictly speaking, are Atalantes.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05They're girls.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08You could not get a better example
0:26:08 > 0:26:11of an elaborate Tudor fireplace.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14I just wish the same could be said
0:26:14 > 0:26:18for this metamorphic piece of oak furniture.
0:26:18 > 0:26:24At first glance, it looks like a high-back armchair.
0:26:24 > 0:26:29But give it a tweak, and the metamorphosis takes place
0:26:29 > 0:26:33from a chair to a table - isn't that clever?
0:26:33 > 0:26:35So, the moral is,
0:26:35 > 0:26:37beware!
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Don't take anything at face value.
0:26:39 > 0:26:44Look into it, satisfy your inquiring mind.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46The big question today is, of course,
0:26:46 > 0:26:48for those of us with an inquiring mind,
0:26:48 > 0:26:51how much profit do you suppose those teams are about to make
0:26:51 > 0:26:53over at the auction? Hmm-hmm!
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Well, we've crossed the county line -
0:27:04 > 0:27:07from Ardingly to Canterbury, what could be nicer? -
0:27:07 > 0:27:10to Canterbury Auction Galleries,
0:27:10 > 0:27:12to be with proprietor, maestro, senior auctioneer
0:27:12 > 0:27:15and general all-round fiend Anthony Pratt.
0:27:15 > 0:27:16- Anthony, good morning.- Morning.
0:27:16 > 0:27:21Our first team, Paul and Ian, went with this military whistle
0:27:21 > 0:27:24and chain and breastplate - is that any good?
0:27:24 > 0:27:27It's a nice quality item. It's Victorian,
0:27:27 > 0:27:31it's made by a military manufacturer, Bent & Parker.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Well hallmarked, nice quality item,
0:27:34 > 0:27:37It just lacks the leather Sam Browne which it would be fitted onto...
0:27:37 > 0:27:40- Mmm.- ..which would set it off a treat,
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- but the quality shines out on that one.- I love that! Shines out!
0:27:43 > 0:27:47Very silvery! What do you think it's worth, Tony?
0:27:47 > 0:27:50- We've put 100-150 on it. - Great. Well, they paid 150.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53So, next, a typical Anita Manning purchase,
0:27:53 > 0:27:57- the Cairngorm set Scottish brooches. - Yes, the plaid brooches.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01She's got a good choice. Not terribly old but good quality,
0:28:01 > 0:28:04very decorative, and...appeal to a cross-section of buyers.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06What's it worth?
0:28:06 > 0:28:09We put £40-£60 - could make a little bit more.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11That's brilliant, isn't it? Typical canny Anita,
0:28:11 > 0:28:14- because they only paid 25. - Right. Good buy, then!
0:28:14 > 0:28:17So, there's a good chance there, which is brilliant.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19And lastly, we've got the First World War
0:28:19 > 0:28:23- brass Princess Mary box. - Yes. I have to say,
0:28:23 > 0:28:25there were 3.5 million of them issued.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28- Oh, were there? - Up until the end of the war.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31- I guess they make more with the original contents?- Absolutely, yes.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35If you've got the tobacco in the yellow wrappers in them,
0:28:35 > 0:28:38- and the cigarettes, they can make £150.- Oh, can they?
0:28:38 > 0:28:41This is empty, it looks a bit bashed to me.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45- It's had a hard life, put it that way.- How do you rate it, how much?
0:28:45 > 0:28:46It's about £10-£15.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49That's brilliant, because they only paid £10 for it.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51- Well, you know, so... - So they paid the right price.- Yes.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55The thing is, Tony, it's all going to boil down to that silver whistle,
0:28:55 > 0:28:57whether it makes its money or not - if it doesn't,
0:28:57 > 0:29:01they're going to need the bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04- Paul, Ian - this is exciting, isn't it?- Yes!
0:29:04 > 0:29:07What did Anita Manning spend the £115 on? Go for it, show us!
0:29:07 > 0:29:10- Oh!- Ooh.- Ha-ha!
0:29:10 > 0:29:12There were two things that I wanted to do, guys -
0:29:12 > 0:29:16I wanted to spend money, and I also know that you guys love dogs...
0:29:16 > 0:29:21- Ah.- ..so when I saw this, I thought, "This is the thing for us."
0:29:21 > 0:29:23It's a little cane handle,
0:29:23 > 0:29:26and this little dog has a little mouth which opens...
0:29:26 > 0:29:30- Aw!- ..and little glass eyes - do you like it?
0:29:30 > 0:29:32Yes.
0:29:32 > 0:29:33ANITA CHUCKLES
0:29:33 > 0:29:34Well, that's reassuring, isn't it?(!)
0:29:34 > 0:29:36- Don't go overboard, Ian.- It's cute.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39- So, how much was it, Anita? - Oh, that's true.
0:29:39 > 0:29:44- £110.- Good for you, Anita, you've had a punt, darling, haven't you?
0:29:44 > 0:29:49But that thing, on a walking stick - it's most saleable end place
0:29:49 > 0:29:52- is on a walking stick rather than a parasol or umbrella.- That's right.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56- It's a risk, isn't it, Anita? But it's a calculated one...- Yeah.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59..done with a degree of sense and sensibility - got that, boys?
0:29:59 > 0:30:03- Got it.- You hang on to those pearls of wisdom. Meanwhile,
0:30:03 > 0:30:05why don't we, the audience at home,
0:30:05 > 0:30:08check out what the auctioneer thinks about Anita's old dog?
0:30:08 > 0:30:12Well, Tony - is that going to bite your hand off?
0:30:12 > 0:30:15I think it's interesting - I like it. It's well-carved,
0:30:15 > 0:30:19it's Black Forest, carved of linden wood, which is a...
0:30:19 > 0:30:22dense, hard wood, inset with glass eyes, and the moving mouth!
0:30:22 > 0:30:26- Which is great fun, isn't it? - Bit of fun.- What might it be worth?
0:30:26 > 0:30:29- I've been a little bit mean, I think it's £60-£80.- OK, fine.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32- Well, Anita paid 110, and she lives in hope.- Right.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35- We ALL live in hope! - All live in hope, yes!
0:30:35 > 0:30:39Anyway, thanks for that, Tony. That's it for the Reds.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41Now for the Blues, and their first item
0:30:41 > 0:30:45is this comb case - continental silver,
0:30:45 > 0:30:46and I guess
0:30:46 > 0:30:50- slightly out-of-date in today's collectors' market?- Somewhat, yes.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52It's Danish, it's silver,
0:30:52 > 0:30:56nicely embossed with scenes after, sort of, er, Brueghel.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59If the comb was changed, perhaps it would be
0:30:59 > 0:31:00more acceptable, but...!
0:31:00 > 0:31:02- Yes.- A good-looking thing, all the same.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04At least it's not a nit comb!
0:31:04 > 0:31:07Anyway, let's not nit-pick about it.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10- How much do you think? - I've only put £10-£15 on it.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13- Well, they only paid £14. - That's a reasonable buy.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15Next up, sticking with the silver
0:31:15 > 0:31:18is the necklace and bracelet.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22- Now, that's got quite a bulk of metal to it, hasn't it?- Yes,
0:31:22 > 0:31:26there's a bit of silver in there. Not terribly old - 1975 hallmark.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29But it's modelled on sort of a watch chain, an Albert,
0:31:29 > 0:31:32and they've repeated the pattern on the bracelet as well as the necklace.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35- Yes, that kind of bark texturing. - Yes.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38- Somebody's taken some trouble. - It's a good thing, nice quality.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42So, I guess you'll put a figure on it which is tempting to the buyers -
0:31:42 > 0:31:44what sort of amount would you estimate?
0:31:44 > 0:31:47I've only put £50-£70, which is probably a bit mean.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50- You want a tempting estimate still. - Yes, to get them interested.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53Well, £120 they paid, so that could be their killer item,
0:31:53 > 0:31:55- or it could be their great victory. - Mmm.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57- It's a fairly retail price that, I must say.- Yeah.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00OK, fine. And what about the French table,
0:32:00 > 0:32:02which looks like it might have started off life as a stool to me,
0:32:02 > 0:32:06- and then inherited a marble top - it's very low for a table.- Yes.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09I think it's good quality, it's decorative and it's useful.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12I like the marble top, that's one of the features of it,
0:32:12 > 0:32:16- that nice, Antico-style marble inset.- Yes.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20- If you want to go out and buy a slab of marble, have it cut...- Exactly.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23- ..and polished and whatnot.- You're going to spend 100-plus.- Definitely.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25- What's it worth? - I've only put £50-£70 on it.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29Again, it's probably a bit of a mean estimate, but it's tempting, so...
0:32:29 > 0:32:32Very tempting - bearing in mind, they only paid 45.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34Oh, a bargain!
0:32:34 > 0:32:36- A bargain! We hope!- We hope!
0:32:36 > 0:32:38It's all in the lap of the gods, though, isn't it?
0:32:38 > 0:32:40But if the necklace and bracelet don't do well,
0:32:40 > 0:32:43they'll need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:32:43 > 0:32:48Now, David, Linda - you spent £179. Magnifique!
0:32:48 > 0:32:52- That's it.- And you gave... - FRENCH ACCENT:- ..Mark Stacey £121.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55- What did you spend it on? - Well, Tim, with a flounce...
0:32:55 > 0:32:58- Oh!- ..I'm going to reveal
0:32:58 > 0:33:02a Victorian hall chair. Now, I wanted to get you something
0:33:02 > 0:33:05that was different, and something that might shock you a little bit.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08But I think this is very Canterbury.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11We're surrounded by ecclesiastical and Gothic buildings round here,
0:33:11 > 0:33:13and what more would you want
0:33:13 > 0:33:18than a nice, Gothic hall chair if you lived in Canterbury?
0:33:18 > 0:33:20- That was my thinking.- It's chunky.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24- I love it!- It certainly is chunky, but not too muscular, is it, Mark?
0:33:24 > 0:33:27No, I think it's rather nice, Tim. I mean, it's not...
0:33:27 > 0:33:29It needs a little bit of TLC,
0:33:29 > 0:33:31- but it didn't cost very much, I don't think.- Oh, right.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33Go on, then, tell us!
0:33:33 > 0:33:37- Now she's keen! - £121, it cost you, did it?
0:33:37 > 0:33:39No, no, Tim - 45.
0:33:39 > 0:33:43Oh, right. Oh, well, maybe we'll be dining out on that, then.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45It's food for thought!
0:33:45 > 0:33:49Before we reduce it to any other kind of levels...
0:33:49 > 0:33:51- LAUGHTER - ..for the audience at home,
0:33:51 > 0:33:54let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Mark's Gothic chair.
0:33:54 > 0:33:58So, Tony - there she blows, look. The bonus buy,
0:33:58 > 0:34:01- the Gothic hall chair - how do you rate it?- It's a good quality item.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04Early 19th century, Gothic feel about it,
0:34:04 > 0:34:07with some nice features - finial, the panels at the back,
0:34:07 > 0:34:10- and these lovely column legs. - Yes, good.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12It's a nicely-made thing - what do you think it's worth?
0:34:12 > 0:34:14I don't... It's a single chair,
0:34:14 > 0:34:16so I've only put £50-£70 on it.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19- Mm-hmm.- A pair would have been much more desirable.
0:34:19 > 0:34:20Mark Stacey, the cunning monkey,
0:34:20 > 0:34:23- only paid £45, so that's pretty good.- He's got a good buy there.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26We'll hope so. Now, are you taking the sale today?
0:34:26 > 0:34:30- Certainly. I'll be on the rostrum. - We're in safe hands.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Paul, Ian - how are you feeling?
0:34:39 > 0:34:42- Excited.- Are you?- The heart's going.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45- Is it?- Yeah.- Well, it's nice to know you're alive.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49Anyway, first up, then, is the whistle - and here it comes.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52Lot 50a is a Victorian silver military whistle,
0:34:52 > 0:34:55holder, chain and mount.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58- £50...- Yes, please. - 50, I have. 60, where?
0:34:58 > 0:35:0160, 70, 80, 90,
0:35:01 > 0:35:02100, and ten...
0:35:02 > 0:35:04120? Who's 120?
0:35:05 > 0:35:06120, where?
0:35:07 > 0:35:09120 for someone? Selling at 110...
0:35:09 > 0:35:11Don't like the look of this.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13Sell at 110, then...
0:35:13 > 0:35:15- 120, fresh bid. 130..- Yes.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18140... No? 140 for someone?
0:35:18 > 0:35:21- Selling at £130... - I don't believe this, boys.
0:35:21 > 0:35:22- Go on. - At 130, then... >
0:35:23 > 0:35:26- Ah!- £130. Just £20 off.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28- Well...- That's tough, isn't it? - We were nearly there.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31You have to take that on the chin, lads.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35Could have done better. Will the brooch make it all back for you?
0:35:35 > 0:35:38Lot 50b - two attractive brooches there.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40- Who will start me at £30? - Yes, please.
0:35:40 > 0:35:4230 I have, 32 where?

0:36:00 > 0:36:05Selling at 65, bids at the back of the room. At £65, then...
0:36:05 > 0:36:06- Yes!- Yes!
0:36:06 > 0:36:08LAUGHTER
0:36:08 > 0:36:11Would that be plus... Would that be plus 40?!
0:36:11 > 0:36:15That's plus 40. Look at these two.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18- That's plus 40. Overall you're plus 20 - here we go.- Come on.
0:36:18 > 0:36:22Unusual lot. Good quality item, though. £10...
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Ten, I have...
0:36:24 > 0:36:26- Yes!- Yes!

0:36:34 > 0:36:37Selling at £10, then - all done...
0:36:37 > 0:36:41£10, wiped its face, very good. Overall, then, you're plus 20,
0:36:41 > 0:36:43thanks to the Mighty Manning.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45Now, what are you going to do?
0:36:45 > 0:36:48Are you going to bank your £20, all right...?
0:36:48 > 0:36:52- You've got £20 to go home with, which is very nice.- Yeah.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55£20 is very nice to go home with. To make a profit on Bargain Hunt
0:36:55 > 0:36:57is an achievement, and you've done it. Now,
0:36:57 > 0:37:00are you going to blow it, by going with the old dog...
0:37:00 > 0:37:03or trust Anita, and think for yourself,
0:37:03 > 0:37:07for £110, is somebody investing in this thing?
0:37:07 > 0:37:10Well, I'm sorry, Anita, but
0:37:10 > 0:37:12- I think we're not going to go with it.- No.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14- I think it's just... - I think, yeah.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16Well, it's a sensible decision,
0:37:16 > 0:37:18- you're into profit. - Are you sure? This is the big thing.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- Positive, positive. Yeah.- Yeah.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23We're not going with the bonus buy,
0:37:23 > 0:37:25but we're going to sell it anyway, and here it comes.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28The French mastiff's head, with the opening eyes...
0:37:28 > 0:37:31- Two bids to start, £40. > - We have two bids at £40 on this.
0:37:31 > 0:37:3345, 50...
0:37:33 > 0:37:3655, 60, 60 where?
0:37:36 > 0:37:3960 where?
0:37:39 > 0:37:4160 for someone?
0:37:41 > 0:37:45Selling at 55, the bid's in the room there - all in at £55 then...

0:42:14 > 0:42:17because they've done particularly well - it's bad luck on you chaps.
0:42:17 > 0:42:21Anyway, you're going to walk home, Paul, proud, with £20.
