Lincoln 7 - Children in Need Bargain Hunt

We've got a very special show for you today.

In fact, a heroic show.

We've got two teams of British athletes waiting here in the wings

at the Lincolnshire Showground,

who are going to perform in a way that they've never performed before.

In fact, it's going to be less Team GB, more Team BH.

So, competing for charity today, let's go bargain hunting, yeah!

After record-breaking medal hauls

at both the Olympics and Paralympics in London 2012,

we're going to set a very different challenge

to four athletes from Team GB.

It's going to be a challenge, Bargain Hunt-style,

but what a quartet they are!

'On the Red team today is gold medal-winning rower Helen Glover

'and silver medallist in the modern pentathlon, Samantha Murray.

'For the Blues, Paralympic dressage champion Lee Pearson

'won three medals at London 2012, whilst Lutalo Muhammad won bronze

'in the martial arts sport of Tae kwon do.

'All champions in their own right, but who will triumph today?

'Let's meet the teams.'

And here they are! Helen, Samantha, Lee and Lutalo. Welcome, guys!

-Lovely to see you. Hello.

-ALL: Hello.

These fellas have a larger collection of precious metals

than we normally find on the show.

Now, Helen, you didn't, remarkably, put a foot in a rowing boat

until under four years ago.

-Is that right?

-Yeah, 2008 I started rowing,

so it's been a bit of a whirlwind four years.

But the truth of the matter is you were pretty athletic.

You've been athletic for years, haven't you?

Yeah, from when I was tiny, I wanted to go to the Olympics.

I ran some international cross country when I was 15,

and I played for hockey teams and so, with the other attributes

I had from my other sports, took that into rowing

and managed to get a gold medal.

You're remarkably modest about it,

but that's a heck of a lot of work, too, and a brilliant result...

-Yeah, thanks.

-..which is wonderful.

Samantha, you had to wait a heck of a long time for your event.

Yeah, I competed on the last day of the Olympic Games,

so it was really tedious and really hard not to get too excited

and involved in all the things that were going on in the Village.

But it was worth the wait.

But it's not just sport that keeps you occupied, is it?

No, I study a degree. I study French and Politics.

-And how's your French coming along?

-Tres bien, merci.

-Oh, oui, oui.

-If in doubt, say "D'accord," I find.

-Oui, d'accord.

You're going to do terribly well today on Bargain Hunt.

-Aren't they great, these girls?

-Brilliant.

-Yes.

Now, Lee, you've got so many medals that you're so weighed down

with all these medals that you forgot to bring them.

LAUGHTER Just too heavy.

What's the tally currently, Lee?

Well, with European and World and Paralympic, it's 31 medals,

30 of those gold, I think.

-TIM TUTS

-Just ridiculous, isn't it?

What about the honorary doctorate from Stafford?

Yeah, that's quite frightening, cos if I'm ever on a plane

and somebody says, "Is there a doctor on the plane?"

I can say, "Yes, but you can only have a dressage lesson."

-Which is dead handy.

-Can't save your life.

-Dead handy on a plane, isn't it(?)

-Yeah.

-Super.

Now, Lutalo, you had to lose a bit of weight

before you could qualify for the Olympics, is that right?

Yes, I had to be under 80kg for the Olympics,

so it was a lot of dieting,

-but I've been making up for it ever since.

-Have you?

-Yes.

You mean you've put a bit on?

Yes, this medal's not the only thing weighing me down now!

You've got your dad to thank for all this Olympic success?

Yes, ever since I was about three years old, he was teaching me.

I have vague memories of kicking the sofas and things around the house,

much to my mum's dismay, but I have everything to thank him for.

And do you find that Bargain Hunt gives you that kind of dedication

-and focus that you need to succeed in the Olympics?

-Absolutely(!)

I mean, I intend to win.

We're really going to beat the Red team, aren't we?

-Yeah, we're slightly competitive.

-Slightly competitive.

I mean, we've never had four more competitive people

on this programme!

Which leads me to the money moment. Here is your cash. £300 apiece.

You know the rules. Your experts await - and off you go!

And very, very good luck.

Our experts today are very excited about our special guests.

For the Reds, a man who's so thrilled

that he's decided to get his do done. It's David Harper.

For the Blues, she'll follow any clue

in the hunt for those money-making items.

It's Kate Bliss.

Well, this is all very exciting, isn't it?

Two Olympians, this is fantastic!

I know you are incredibly competitive,

but when it comes to antiques, have you got a clue?

-Do you know what you're looking for today?

-No.

-No.

60 minutes starts now! Go, run!

Let the games begin!

We could get you into dressage!

Yes, and it adds some much-needed height, Lutalo(!)

-That looks quite interesting, that thing.

-What is it?

Looks like a holder of something.

I'll tell you what I like is that RAF enamel piece.

Can we have a look?

As someone mentioned to me this morning,

it's probably 1940s red lipstick colour.

-It probably is.

-Wow, like Marilyn Monroe.

Absolutely, from the Second World War.

My gosh, that is SO posh.

Because this is enamel. Is it lots of money or not?

Er, well it's probably not too expensive. It's 75.

Is it silver or not? No, it's just metal, but with the RAF emblem.

-Yeah. You two are not getting excited over this.

-No, I like it.

Yeah, it's nice, it's nice.

You can just imagine, in the 1940s, can't you,

this being given by an RAF officer to his wife or girlfriend.

It's quite romantic, isn't it?

-Are you quite romantic, you two, at heart?

-Erm...

-Not massively.

-Is there no room for romance in Team GB?!

It's all about the winning, is that it?! Stuff 'em! Yeah!

OK, well I think that's got an awful lot going for it.

The colours are brilliant. Helen, what do you feel?

-I'm happy to go with what you think for that.

-Yeah, pass the buck, yeah.

-If it all goes wrong.

-I think it's a good thing to buy.

I think maybe if we...

-Get the medals out...

-What's this?

Are the Red team introducing tactics into their game?

-You're ruining the surprise.

-Oh, sorry!

I don't know what she's talking about!

-Right, let's go.

-Are you going to... OK.

We really like your item and we'd love to take it to auction

-and we're also Olympic medallists.

-I know.

-You must recognise them.

-Do you want to get yours out?

-Time to pull out the big guns.

We're hoping that you'd be really generous and, £40, really.

You said you were going to start at 35, what's wrong with you?

-I think he'll let me take it for 40.

-Yeah, absolutely.

-Oh, yeah!

-Oh, marvellous.

-Thank you so much.

One down. And you're doing ever so well, so let's continue.

What a sporting stallholder!

And the Red team have completed their first lap.

Back with the Blues, Lee's spotted something

that's very much from his field.

-So what have you found, Lee?

-I think there's a whip there or an old crop.

-Yeah. I like that.

-Do you?

-OK, so... Yeah, I do.

So what we've got here is bamboo,

and it's got some sort of lacquer on it, as well,

with the leather whip at the end,

and I really like this, because you've got a handle...

-Made out of...

-..made out of horn or bone,

and you've got a lovely little silver mount here.

Now, do you see this? This is all hallmarked Victorian silver, 1892.

And you've got some lovely initials on there, too, do you see?

You've got A...

-B.

-B, from WPS. Which is really nice, so it's obviously a gift.

And then you've got another little mark there, see that?

I'm pretty sure that's a London manufacturer's.

-You've got Swaine's, London, who made crops like that.

-Wow.

-I think that's a really nice find.

-Good eye, Lee.

-What do you think, Lutalo?

-I really like it. It's really good.

Obviously, it IS a proper riding crop.

Yes, this is where I get nervous, though,

cos it's linked to my sport, isn't it?

But it's an antique and that would be used by the gentry.

That is not your average riding crop.

The bad news is, we've got 95 on there, as the price ticket.

-What could you do?

-80.

-80.

It's really nice, but I'm worried about the estimation.

-I really want to thrash the girls.

-No messing about, eh, Lutalo?

I think we should go for a bit larger profit margin, if we can.

What could you see yourself paying for it?

-60.

-What do you think, Lutalo, 60-ish?

-I'd say 60.

I can do 75, but I'm absolutely on the floor.

What do you think?

I'm thinking, let's carry on having a wander around.

I think that's a good shout.

Let's hope the gentleman doesn't sell it in the meantime.

-Definitely.

-Come on now, Blues. Crack the whip and start buying!

The Reds are going all Oriental.

That's Japanese, as opposed to Chinese,

and it's called Satsuma ware.

-And that's Japanese...

-How old do you think it is?

That's...probably 1920, something like that.

-That's Japanese Kutani ware.

-Do they sell well?

Not fantastically well, unless it's early.

When you're looking at Oriental stuff,

ideally, now in today's market, it's the Chinese pieces you want.

Chinese buyers are buying everything back.

Many of these Chinese items came from Beijing to London

just like the Olympics. Now the antiques are going back again.

-What is it, exactly?

-A bottle opener.

-You Olympians obviously don't drink enough.

-No.

-You're strict!

Our bodies are temples.

What caught my eye was this decoration on the end here,

because it's very similar to the sort of decoration

you'd get by Georg Jensen, who's a Danish silversmith.

And it's how much? 100. Yeah...

That's quite a lot, isn't it, for a bottle opener?

-If it was Jensen, it would possibly be worth it?

-It would be, yes.

This one is by Jensen. It's a little ladle, which is sweet, actually.

And how much is the ladle? 120.

I'm not convinced.

I think, again, it's something to think about.

-Can we make a profit off it?

-Not at 120.

-No?

-No. What's your rock bottom on that?

-85.

It is for charity. All the profit that we're making today,

cos I've got these amazing Olympians with me. Could you do 80?

You're liking this at 80.

Do you know, it's very collectable. Do you like it...?

I like it. I'm attracted to it, simply because it's silver.

But...I'm thinking about the winning.

Shall we sprint round the rest of the hall and maybe pop back?

-Yeah, I think so.

-But it's definitely one to consider.

-Thank you very much.

-Another item on the back burner, Blues.

You'd better get something under your belt soon.

We're more than halfway through the shop.

We've got to up the ante here. I'm going to test your skills.

Bear in mind you've had about 40 minutes of bargain hunting.

-Point out Chinese and Japanese to me.

-Japanese.

-Japanese, well done.

-Japanese.

-Well done.

-Chinese?

-Chinese! Well done! My goodness me!

Absolutely... 40 minutes' training with me

and you're now professional antiques experts!

OK, we're on the clock. Nothing for us today, but thanks a lot.

Come on, girls.

David, your coaching skills are not in question.

Whether you'll find all three items in time is less of a dead cert.

Do you fancy a day out at the races?

Well, millions of Brits do.

But if you go to the races, what do you do? You place a bet,

in the hope that you're going to double your money or even better.

Well, it's exactly the same in the antiques game,

but you can combine both pleasures if you buy objects

that relate to racing, like these three plaques. Aren't they fun?

Fun and highly unusual.

Each one shows on display a horseshoe, one of the four

horseshoes probably worn by the racehorse at the event

which the plaque commemorates.

On the far side, we've got a horse called Florence,

which apparently won the Manchester Cup in 1884.

You need to do a lot of research to find out

more about that horse and its owner and its success.

This one I know something about, because St Gatien won the Derby

in 1884 and it won it as a result of a dead heat.

Now, that has only happened twice

in the Derby in its long history.

the middle one though, I think is the greatest fun, don't you?

It's so unusual. Again, with a horseshoe, but this time containing

not an inscription, but a portrait of a horse.

Oil paint on metal -

that metal panel shows a lovely mugshot of the winning racehorse

and if you turn it over, it's got a lengthy paper inscription

on the back and you can see the date at the bottom, 1884,

but most of the rest of it has been rubbed out.

Turn it over and fortunately, the thing is entitled Prince, 1884.

That's what you have to research.

For the racing fraternity, and they do say that racing is the sport

of Kings, somebody - once these are researched - will really love them.

what are they worth now? If you find them in a field in Lincoln,

you'd have to pay £80 each. Three eights are 24 - £240

for all this history, for all this interest, for all this potential

to research. At that, I tell you, they're dirt cheap.

Neigh!

Now, let's race back to the shop and the Blues are in fine fettle.

A field surgeon's set?

Sounds like a stitch-up job to me(!)

So you can get sewn up, if you get beaten and have a few wounds,

and I can get mended out on the field horse riding.

Are we interested in this, guys? Do you like it?

It's all to do with profit, Kate, so we need your advice.

-Whatever you think.

-Well, I think the riding crop is the best so far.

I think the Jensen's not bad.

Shall we get down to the bottom and see what we can find elsewhere?

Still nothing, Blues? Unless you start spending soon,

our charity does not stand a chance.

You wanted Chinese, here's some Chinese things.

-I want to have a look at that bag there.

-OK. That's rather nice.

-Doesn't look very Chinese to me.

-Feel how heavy that is.

-Wow.

-Now that's not Chinese. I don't think it matters. Very nice.

-It's quite unique, isn't it?

-Yeah.

-But is it silver or just metal?

-I can't see any hallmarks there.

-OK, let's have a look.

-Yeah, there is, there's a mark there.

-Oh, yes, it's tiny.

-ALL: A-ah!

-Oh!

It's an ambush!

-Go away!

-Thank you very much.

This is Red territory!

We've heard that you guys are being competitive, so we've upped our game.

Have you?

You're doing great? Aww.

-I think they look nervous, girls.

-They look very nervous, don't they?

-Moving on.

-I can see him shaking, you're bluffing!

Good luck, girls, you'll need it. See you at the auction.

Do you think they're confident or is it just a front?

-They seem really confident.

-But it's bluffing.

-You think it is?

-Yeah.

-Well, it got me worried. Aren't you worried?

-No, I'm confident.

You're so cool, you two. I've got a cracking team here.

Now come on, then, we're running short of time here.

-What have you got on it?

-120.

120, OK, so it's a vintage lady's handbag.

It's just a shame they've got a little hole there in the mesh...

Sam's got a sharpshooting eye for detail!

It's had little repairs.

-I think it's probably 50-80, 60-90 in auction.

-Best we could do is 90.

I think it's time to get the secret weapons out.

I know, cos this would go really nicely,

maybe, I don't know, Friday evening...

-Girls...

-..with my silver medal.

-Oh, right.

-Where's the other one? Come on, don't be shy.

-Whoa, eh?

-So what do you think?

-I'll do 65.

-You've gone up a fiver, you said 60.

-Did I?

-Yeah, 60.

-Or did I say 60? Now, I'm confused.

-Do it for 60 and we'll say yes.

-60?

-Yeah. OK, we'll do that, all right.

-Well, it's for...and them are brilliant.

-Thank you.

-Aren't they?

-Have you got a price on them?

Not yet, no, I still like it, so I'm going to keep hold of it for a while!

OK, girls, as it's for charity, throw that in.

-Oh, lovely!

-Thank you so much.

-For free?

-Yeah, free, yeah.

-So nice of you, thank you.

-Isn't that lovely of him? Thank you very much.

Oh, I say, what a nice man!

-I want a stroke of them medals.

-Yeah! For that you can.

They're beautiful, aren't they?

This medal lark is proving to be a very smart tactic.

Me, too. That's the nearest I'll get. There you go.

Right, so the Blues are two down on the Red team,

and less than ten minutes to go.

Let's turn that trot into a gallop, shall we, lads?

How are you feeling?

-Edgy!

-Yes!

-The nerves are kicking in.

I was thinking maybe we should make a purchase

sooner rather than later, so that we can get the ball going.

I think you're right.

Yeah, good plan there, Lutalo.

We're right by the riding crop.

Could you do £65 cash?

He's an Olympian, and he can let you feel his medal.

-I'm a Paralympian.

-Look, show the medal!

-I ride horses for a living.

-Look at this!

-A real, live, bronze medal.

-VENDOR: It's a bronze!

THEY LAUGH I left the other colours at home, unfortunately!

-VENDOR: What did you win it for?

-Tae kwon do.

Very good.

So don't fight with him, cos he'll win!

-£65 cash?

-VENDOR: I'll tell you what I'll do,

I won't do it for £65. I'll do it for £60.

Oh, you star!

-Thank you, sir.

-Thank you very much.

Thank you very, very, very much.

-That's brilliant.

-No problem.

-I knew the medal would swing it!

-Yeah!

See, Blues? You should have got that medal out sooner!

You could've high-kicked your way through the shop by now!

First item bought.

Back to the Reds, and David is still convinced

something Chinese will bring in the big money.

OK, girls, grab one of those.

Have a look at it while I look at the next one.

-There's a pair of these, is there?

-VENDOR: Yeah.

What you think about those?

There are SO Chinese, it's unbelievable.

-Yeah.

-Blue and white.

You often see these colours in this kind of porcelain in ginger jars.

And they were shipped out to the West

-in their hundreds of thousands.

-It's just a shame about that.

I know, I know! But they ARE Chinese!

They're 18th or 19th century.

They're hand-painted, they've got a very good look,

like an interior design look.

They're provincial. How much can they be? The absolute...

Come on! Look at those ladies!

Look at them, please!

I'll do £45, right, which is...

I must be mental, right?

That's right with that, and I'll chuck this in.

This man is a diamond! Another freebie!

An 18th century tea bowl.

That's beautiful. So you said £40, and we can walk away?

-Did I say that?

-Yeah.

-Shall I tell you what this is, very quickly?

-Yeah.

-That's good quality.

-It is a sweet little tea bowl,

-and see that mark on the base?

-Yeah.

It's not a reign mark, as in, the Emperor mark.

This was made potentially during a period

when the Emperor banned any use of his reign, on pain of death.

So it could be Kangxi, circa 1700. So the deal is, what?

-£45 for the three?

-Go on.

Is that what we said? Or did we say less?

-I thought 40.

-Shall we say...

Shall we try £35? Would that be horrible?

-Yeah.

-Helen, would that be horrible?

-I think £40 sounds good.

-Yeah, 40.

Well done for getting your oar in, Helen!

Let's not fleece the poor chap!

-Yeah, you're on a winner!

-Thank you very much!

That's your lot, Reds. You can cool down.

But, Blues, you've got a challenge of Olympic proportions.

Two items, less than 10 minutes.

-He's the original Paddington, isn't he?

-Yeah, it's lovely.

I think it's got a chance, whereas this one might attract

the toy collectors as well,

because he's got a bit more age.

I would say he's probably '50s, so a little bit earlier.

He's also got the label for the Dean's Gwentoy Group, here.

And he's actually in great condition.

So that just...I love the Paddington,

but I think this one might appeal to a wider market, perhaps.

-And he's cheaper!

-Ah, the magic word!

-He's 35.

-I think we can knock a bit off that as well.

-Do you like him? Honestly?

-I quite like him.

-What do you think, Lee?

-I like the price.

-We need to take Kate's advice on the market.

-Yes.

Well, tell you what, while we're thinking,

let me just go and find out what's the very best...hang on.

I've got Olympians with me here...

You need to move quickly, Blues.

Aren't you forgetting something?

25? And we're not just Olympians.

-We're Olympic MEDALLISTS.

-Yeah!

VENDOR: Fantastic!

This man has got ten Olympic gold medals.

-VENDOR: Fantastic!

-Ten Olympic gold medals

is worth a bit off a golden bear!

-15?

-15, just for us?

-Fantastic.

-That's a great deal.

-Thank you very, very much.

-Happy?

-Yes.

-We'll do it.

-Oh, thank you!

Don't stop there, Blues. Time is bearing down on you!

A third item, please, and quickly.

-The Reds on the other hand...

-THEY GIGGLE

-Now, was that an experience, or what?

-Yeah!

-Wasn't that brilliant?

-Yeah, it was good. It was fun.

And we got some Chinese things, and you two now are fully-fledged,

within one hour, professional antiques experts!

We've only got minutes to go.

Oh, my gosh! We're on the clock, aren't we?

You're wandering round like you're going round the supermarket!

I know, I keep forgetting this is timed!

You've only just realised?

With only minutes to go, the Blues have headed back

for their silver spoon,

and they're ladling on the pressure!

-VENDOR: 75.

-75?

-Not 70?

-No.

-70? Oh, come on!

-LEE: What about a photograph wearing a medal? Would you go down to 70?

This medal haggling is a very versatile technique, isn't it?

-Done!

-Done, and done! Fantastic!

I hope you don't mind having a photograph with your bronze medal!

Brilliant! Brilliant! Good choice!

The lads, Lee and Lutalo left that lovely ladle to the last minute.

I love a bit of alliteration, don't you?

On your marks, you Olympians, get set, and stop!

Time's up! Let's check out what the Red team bought.

The girls got off the starting block

with this Elizabeth Arden RAF lipstick compact, for £40.

They kept it girly with this chain mail handbag

with a silver bowl thrown in, all for £60.

They finished their round with these blue and white Chinese vases

and another freebie, a small Chinese tea bowl, £40 paid.

So how did your coach get on, then? Was he any good?

-Yeah, he educated us a lot.

-Did he? He led you?

So, which is your favourite piece?

-For me, it's the bag, I like the 1920s bag we got.

-OK.

And for you, Sam?

I'm going to go for the lipstick case, the RAF,

and it's like a nice, blue colour.

Will it bring the biggest profit?

It may do if there's the right collector at the auction.

And Hels, which piece is going to bring the biggest profit

-do you think?

-I think our Chinese vases, actually.

Because they're a pair, they're a pair, so they could bring a profit.

Anyway, £140 you spent, yes?

And I'd like £160 of leftover lolly, please.

-There you go.

-That's it.

I won't bother counting it, because I trust you.

Pillars of the sporting community!

-I'm handing that to Harper.

-Thank you.

What are you going to do with all that cash?

As much as I love Chinese objects, I'm Chinesed out!

I'm not going to buy something Chinese.

But I've got a chocolate medal

I'm going to use to try and get some discounts.

If it works for them, it's going to work with my chocolate one!

OK, good luck with that, Dave.

Meanwhile, we're going to check out what the Blue team bought, eh?

The boys trotted off

with this bamboo and silver riding crop for £60.

They got all cuddly

with a 1950s teddy bear for £15.

Finally, they went right up to the line

with this silver Georg Jensen cream ladle for £70.

-It is hard going, isn't it?

-It was like a marathon, not like a sprint.

it's an Olympian effort, actually!

-Anyway, had good fun, chaps?

-Really good fun.

-Fantastic.

It's jolly nice spending £300

-of somebody else's money, isn't it?

-It is!

What was your total? How much did you spend?

-145.

-Well, that's very modest.

Mmm, we were well-behaved!

-HE CHUCKLES

-That I don't believe!

£155 of leftover lolly somewhere.

Who's got that? Thank you very much.

Now, Lee which is your favourite piece, old fruit?

-I'm meant to say the crop, really, but I like the teddy bear.

-Do you?

Yes, because I think we got that at a great price, so I think that will be the winning item.

So not only is it your favourite,

-it's going to bring the biggest profit?

-I think so.

All right, fine. Do you agree with that?

Yes, the bear I think is definitely the best piece we've got today.

And yes, I think we're going to make a big profit off it.

Here's the leftover lolly. What are you going to do?

I'm going to go completely off-piste and I'm going to surprise them.

Ooh, are you? Off-piste! Lovely!

Well, don't take too long about it,

because we're heading straight off to the auction.

Well, all right, it's two weeks later,

and just a few miles down the road.

Golding, Young and Mawer's sale room in Lincoln is where we're at,

with our old mate, Colin Young.

Anyway, exciting, this.

Let's have a birds' eye at what they bought.

Helen and Samantha and David Harper's first item

is this sweet little lipstick. Isn't that a honey?

That is brilliant. Love it.

I mean, it's the blue does it for me.

Yes, RAF colours. And we've got the motif on there as well.

And, of course, we're in Bomber County as well,

so there's a few things going to be in its favour.

How much do you think, Colin?

Well, I think an estimate of £40-60 would encourage everybody,

and I really would hope it would do far better than that.

Well, there we go. £40 our girls paid.

-They paid the right price.

-Yes.

Continuing with our girly theme,

we've gone with a mesh handbag

and a silver perfume holder thrown in for free.

That's a pretty cool lot.

I think that was a bargain!

Anyway, it's not silver, this bag, is it?

-It's silver-coloured metal.

-Yes.

But it seems to be in good nick, you know.

The mesh is not damaged, is it?

It's a very usable piece,

and the condition of the silver pot as well is good.

Estimate-wise, how much?

-I suppose £60-80 would be appropriate for that.

-That's fine.

£60 paid by the girls. So, you know, they've done very well.

And moving into the currently fashionable Chinese works of art,

we come up with two bottle vases.

And a little tea bowl.

There could be a bit of a challenge with this,

purely because of condition,

because you've got one which is in pretty good order,

and the other one is not that good, it has to be said.

Yeah, well, Helen and Samantha

have invested in those two

and got the nice lobed tea bowl thrown in for free.

They paid £40. Will they make a profit?

-I think they will make a profit.

-How much?

-Well, let's go for £50-80 and be buoyant with it.

-OK, fine.

If all does not go to plan, though,

the team can fall back on their bonus buy.

And let's go and have a look at it.

OK, girls. You lovely Olympians! £140 you spent.

£160 of leftover lolly

went to David Harper. What did you spend it on, David?

-HE CHUCKLES

-Oh, Tim!

It is an original magician's game.

-He's the jolly, or very happy, Deceiver.

-The Gay Deceiver!

The Gay Deceiver! Exactly!

This is an original boxed game,

and inside, we've got a lot of the original fittings inside.

Little games and tricks you can play on people.

Imagine a dinner party.

Conversation's waning, what do you do?

-You get the Gay Deceiver out!

-THEY LAUGH

-That's what you do.

-Anyway, there we go.

It's got all these bits and bobs. So, this is for a child, yes?

It's for a child. 1940s, maybe early '50s.

How much did you spend?

-What would you pay for a Gay Deceiver?

-Did you spend 100?

-No, half that. 50.

-Really?!

-Yeah, are you impressed?

-Yeah!

Are you really? THEY ALL LAUGH

-You get a lot for £50, don't you?

-You do, it goes a long way. Yes.

Yeah, that has surprised me.

Now, on that happy note,

you don't pick it now, girls, you think about it.

You get your opportunity to take this bonus buy,

if you want it, after the sale of your first three items.

But, right now, for the viewers at home,

let's check out what the auctioneer thinks about Dave's Gay Deceiver.

Well, Colin, David Harper had £160 worth of leftover lolly

and this is what he went out and bought the team.

-Right, he didn't spend all of it, did he?

-No, he did not.

-That is a little bit of a relief.

-He spent just 50.

-Just 50?

-Yeah.

-OK.

I LOVE the packaging.

Are you going to be able to conjure up a profit on it?

I think I'm going to have to pull something out of the hat on this one!

-It's a difficult thing to value, isn't it?

-It is.

And an interesting estimate of 30 to 50 but hopefully that will encourage them

and we'll get plenty of people after it.

All I can say is jolly good luck to you making a profit on that,

but there we are. Who's to say? That's it for the Reds.

Now, for the Blues.

First up for Lutalo and Lee

is the riding crop, appropriately, for our equestrian.

Well, if anybody knows what to buy, well, it certainly should be Lee.

-Yes.

-So, let's see how he compares with the estimate I've put on.

Something like this, with a good horn handle, nice silver band on it.

£60-£80 is where I would expect it to be.

Well, there you are, £60-£80 is a good estimate.

-£60 they paid.

-OK.

So, we should kick on with that. Next is the teddy bear.

-Who is it by?

-It's a Dean's and I think it will be a sure-fire bet

when it does come to auction.

£30-£40, I would imagine, is the range for it.

-OK, £15 paid, that's great.

-Yeah, I think it's a good find.

-Not any age to it, is there? Is it 1950s?

-'50s, yeah, '50s.

-But adorable and desirable.

-Indeed.

-OK, fine.

Now, lastly, but by no means least,

is there one name from Scandinavia

that conjures up profit in people's minds

-and that is Georg Jensen, yes?

-Yes.

A very nice looking item.

-Plenty of collectors would spend money for that.

-How much money wise?

-Well, I think £30-£50.

-Is that all? Cos Kate went £70 for that.

Oh, I think that one might be a bit more of a cropper than the crop.

-You think it might come a cropper?

-I think it might, actually, yes.

Oh, dear, well, on that basis,

they're going to need their bonus buy.

Let's go and have a look at it.

You spent £145, right?

£155 of leftover lolly went to Kate Bliss and what did you invest it in?

-A box!

-A box!

-A box!

You've got to put your commercial heads on for this one, boys, OK?

Because I did go a little bit off-piste.

I haven't bought something I'm expecting YOU to like,

but I'm hoping it will appeal to the clientele at the auction house.

-Oh.

-And there you have it.

-Something inside the box.

-I think we need more info.

It is nine-carat white gold with numerous diamonds.

Have a little look.

-That's very nice.

-I'm not pretending it's antique cos it isn't,

it is actually a modern ring,

but I think it's quite a lot of bling for the money.

That's quite something, isn't it? Eh?

It doesn't have to be antique, does it?

It's a bargain hunt and if you've got a bargain you think...

-How much profit might it make?

-How much did you spend?

-Yeah, how much did you spend?

-I spent £90.

-90?!

-Really?

-OK.

-OK.

And I think, for £90, you've got a jolly attractive ring there.

How much could we expect to get?

I would hope you're certainly going to get between 100 and 150 for it.

-All right, happy with that?

-Yes, very happy.

-Yes.

You decide later, after the sale of your first three items

but, for the viewers at home,

let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Kate's ring.

-Right then, Colin, stand by, here comes a bit of bling.

-Very nice.

Nine carat, white gold, diamond set, pave set.

-How do you rate that then, Colin?

-I rate that £60-£80.

It's not the greatest, sort of, decoration,

but I think as a piece of dress jewellery there will be plenty

of people who will have a go for that and we might get over £100 for it.

-That's where we need to be aiming.

-Is it?

-Kate's purchase, £90.

I think the boys will like it, I think they'll probably go with it,

so it's going to be a question of over to you here, Col.

OK, I have my instructions!

You got my message? No. Good luck, anyway.

-Thank you.

-What will be will be. What fun.

That's 70 bid, I'll take five.

We're coming up to Elizabeth Arden, now...

Nicely warmed up? Relax your shoulders?

-Oh, yeah, we're ready.

-Yeah.

Relax your shoulders. Done the necessary.

This is a very nice little lot. This is the Elizabeth Arden.

Time for a bit of lippy.

Who's going to start me at £100 for it? 100?

Come on, it's for charity!

That is super, plus 130.

There we go, a nice pair of vases.

You also get a tea bowl to go with it.

-Start me at 100, £100 anybody, 100? 100, 80 to go. 80.

-Go on.

40 I'm bid already, at £40 bid, at 40 bid, two do I see now?

Anybody else want to throw in another five?

No? It's sold at £50.

-ALL:

-Yes.

That's plus £10.

You've made a profit on every lot

which is a really smooth thing to do.

That never happens. You were 130, you're now plus £140. Look at that.

-Good.

-Brilliant.

-Listen, you guys...

-Brilliant.

-..you spent £140.

-Yes.

-And you made £140 profit.

-Ah, not a bad day's work.

-Yeah.

What are we going to do about the conjuring trick set?

-I love The Gay Deceiver.

-I love it. I've never seen anything like that before.

-No.

-You're going with it, or not, quickly?

-Yes!

-Yes.

-They are going with it. They are going with the bonus buy at the last moment because here it comes.

The '30s, '40s, Gay Deceiver, there we go

and you'll miraculously be able to make it disappear

by giving me lots of money for it.

-Yes.

-Who's going to start me at £100?

-Go on!

£100 for it, 80 to go then, surely, £80, 20 then if we have to.

Oh, no!

Let's get on. 20, £20 on the net, at 20 bid.

-Going at £45.

-Oh, no!

There we are. £45, it was worth a punt, I tell you.

-It was worth a punt.

-It was worth the punt. Minus £5 on that.

You're still plus 135, you can't be greedy at that.

-No, that's good.

-Brilliant.

-Quite frankly, girls, you've probably lashed the boys into submission.

-I do hope so.

-That is probably a winning score.

-Let's hope so.

-Don't tell them a thing, all right?

-We won't.

Well done, anyway. Congratulations.

-What a team!

-So good.

590.

Now, Lutalo, Lee, pay attention now please. Cor, look at all this metal work here.

This is something else, isn't it?

I mean, how flash is this?

-I have to say, Lee, the riding crop was a natural for you to buy, wasn't it?

-Yeah.

It had to be your item, that.

I'm under pressure with that riding crop a little bit, aren't I?

Not really. I mean, the auctioneer has estimated £60 to £80, all right?

That's without your connection, and here it comes.

AUCTIONEER: The Victorian bamboo riding crop.

Silver mounted to the antler handle, it's a cracking lot.

Start me at £50 and we get on. 50, it's a low enough start.

50, 60 do I see?

At 50. 60 now, surely. 50, bid.

At 70, we're on the market at £70. It's no money, but it's going to go.

Oh, £70. That's all right, it's a profit. Listen, it's a profit.

You watch this programme, that's tough. Plus £10.

Now, Gwentoys teddy bear.

A Dean's Gwentoys golden, plush, mohair bear.

Who's going to start me...? Just start me at £100. 100?

80 to go then.

80. £80 anyone? 50 to go then, surely. 50?

-Anybody at £50 for the bear? Nobody want him?

-Come on!

-Look at his face!

-Look at his face!

-A bear isn't just for auction day, it's for life.

50, bid, thank you. 50, 50, five anywhere else now?

At £50, it's going to go this time then at £50.

-Plus £35, I love it. £35, you're plus 45.

Pretty good, guys, that's pretty good.

Two profits in a row. Now, Georg Jensen.

Who's going to start me at £50 for it? 50.

50 is a low start. £50 anybody? 50?

£50, anyone? 50. Nobody want it at 50?

50, five anywhere else now? 50, we're straight in at £50 bid.

-At 50, and five now do I see?

-Come on!

At £50 bid, 55 bid, 60 do I see now?

- LEE: Come on. - £60 is in the room.

65... 70 and five.

-Yes!

-75 bid now. 75, do I see now? No, it's £70 bid.

Any more now at £70 bid? At 75.

Bid 80. 80 bid.

80, yes! Come on!

90, 88, bid 90? 90 a bid.

90 bid. 92, do I see now? 92? No.

Go, Colin!

£90 bid, any more? To the bids in the middle of the room, we're all done,

we're finished, we're going this time, then, selling at £90.

-Yes!

-Stunning.

That is plus £20. Well done, chaps.

Overall, you are plus £65 which is very respectable.

You've made a profit on each of your items, which is superb.

But what are you going to do about the diamond ring?

-Let's do it.

-Up to you.

-What, yes?

-You are doing it?

-We're doing it.

You're doing it, you're going with it. Here we go. Here it comes then.

That is the decision and we are going to see it sold. Here we go.

There we go. We've had a lot of interest in this one presale.

-Yes!

-Good.

-And we're going to go straight in,

multiple commission bids, and we'll start at 50 and five.

60 and five, bid 70 and five. Bid 80 now?

£75, 80 now? Do I see it? 75, 80, 80 bid.

85, 90. At £90 bid, 95, £100 bid do I see?

-Yes!

-£100, surely, just look at what we're selling. 100 bid.

110, 120. 130 now. 130 bid...

-Keep going, keep going!

-130. 140 now, do I see?

At 130 bid, 140 now. 140. At 140, 150 bid. 160 now.

That's more like it! Kate Bliss got that.

150, any more now?

Going this time, then, and we will sell at £150...

-THEY CHEER

-Yes!

£150 gives you another £60. Well done, Kate Bliss. Which means...

-It means you are plus £125.

-Fantastic!

-That's a profit on every lot.

-Thank you, Kate.

-Well done, you guys.

-Isn't she a brilliant woman?

How does she do that? £90 to £150. Well done, well done, well done.

Now, the big thing now is to say nothing to those Reds,

and I will reveal all as to who the winner is and who the...

-We don't have losers on this programme.

-No.

-No.

We only have runners-up and winners.

-Well, we want to be winners.

-What? You want to be winners?

-Can we do gold and silver this time?

-OK, this time only!

Well, well, well, what a show we have had today!

-I tell you, has it been good fun or what?

-Really good.

I mean, it is seriously good fun and great for us to have you guys.

This is the moment to reveal who is ahead and who's marginally behind.

Because there is only £10 between our teams today.

-GASPS DAVID:

-Oh, no!

£10 between them.

And, of course, each team

has made a profit on every item that they have sold.

And when that happens on Bargain Hunt, you get a very rare award.

Far rarer than an Olympic medal, I can tell you.

You get the award of the golden gavel,

which is a chromium-plated pin.

I'm going to pin that in there, like that.

-Lutalo, that's yours.

-Oh, thank you.

And this is to add to your collection, Kate.

And you girls made a profit on each of your items.

-There you go, Hels-bels.

-Thank you.

-There we go, Sammy-whammy.

-Thanks.

-And this is for your collection, David.

-I can't believe it!

So, everybody gets a golden gavel, but who is marginally ahead?

And the team that is ahead today are...

-the Reds.

-THEY CHEER

-DAVID:

-I'm sorry!

-Yeah, you got £135 and the Blues got £125.

-Yes!

There is no shame in that at all.

-With £125...

-Oh, thank you.

And it is only a spit,

but the spit that makes all the difference...

which runs with the Reds. £135. How good is that?

And congratulations. So that is £260 for charity.

-we've had a good time, haven't we?

-ALL: We have.

we would like you all to join soon for some more bargain-hunting,

but before our final kick, we want Lutalo to the fore

to show us how the kick is done!

-Yes!

-THEY WHOOP

-Join us soon for some more bargain hunting. Yes?

-ALL: Yes!

THEY LAUGH
