0:00:04 > 0:00:08Today we're in Newark, through which runs the Fosse Way,
0:00:08 > 0:00:14a Roman road remarkable for the straight route it takes through England.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18Our teams today are hoping for a straight route -
0:00:18 > 0:00:21a straight route to auction victory!
0:00:21 > 0:00:24So - let's go bargain hunting. Yeah!
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Yes, we're at the Newark International Antiques and Collectors' Fair.
0:00:56 > 0:01:01But the big question today is, will our teams take the correct path
0:01:01 > 0:01:03and choose wisely,
0:01:03 > 0:01:07or will they get lost amongst these thousands of stalls?
0:01:07 > 0:01:08Let's find out, shall we?
0:01:10 > 0:01:14Coming up, the Blues persuade one stallholder to get down to business.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20If I could reach you, I'd give you a kiss, and say thank you!
0:01:20 > 0:01:21LAUGHS
0:01:23 > 0:01:26While the Reds struggle to come to a decision.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Girls, you've got five seconds to make up your mind!
0:01:29 > 0:01:30What'd you think? Picks or frogs?
0:01:30 > 0:01:34- Frogs or picks? - Quick!- It's your choice.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38But will all their choices prove to be the right ones?
0:01:38 > 0:01:40- Higher.- Sh!
0:01:43 > 0:01:45LAUGHS
0:01:45 > 0:01:47- That is so good!- We're wicked.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Let's meet those teams.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53For the Reds today, we've got Lucy and Jo-Jo.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58- And we have Hilary and Ron for the Blues. Hello, everybody.- Hello!
0:01:58 > 0:02:03- Now, Lucy. You are an old mucker of Jo-Jo's, yes?- Yes.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06- How long d'you go back? - About 20 years.- Do you really?
0:02:06 > 0:02:07Yes, to schooldays.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- Right back then?- Yep!
0:02:09 > 0:02:11And what d'you think it is that's kept you
0:02:11 > 0:02:13so close in the intervening period?
0:02:13 > 0:02:15She's just a good girl and now we've got little girls,
0:02:15 > 0:02:17just a few months apart.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21So we spend a lot of time together with the girls.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- But you like to have a bit of fun on the side, it says here.- Well, yes!
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Prior to motherhood, I really enjoyed travel.
0:02:28 > 0:02:33A few funny experiences - one up Machu Picchu one time,
0:02:33 > 0:02:37when I was having my photo taken in amongst the ruins,
0:02:37 > 0:02:39and there was a llama behind me,
0:02:39 > 0:02:42so I thought it would be an excellent photo,
0:02:42 > 0:02:44and just as the shutter was clicking,
0:02:44 > 0:02:46it cocked its leg and weed on my head!
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- So that was quite the picture, yeah! - So you had to go along covered in...
0:02:49 > 0:02:53a bit of a baby-wipe, and onwards and upwards, really!
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- Now, Jo-Jo, you're in retail. - I was.- Oh, you was?
0:02:56 > 0:03:01- I mean, you were! Before bab-bab!- Yes.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02What's bab-bab called?
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Beatrice.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Beatrice the bab-bab.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08So tell us about your retail experience before baby.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10I worked as a jeweller, but I sold mainly watches.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Will you be going for watches today on Bargain Hunt?
0:03:13 > 0:03:15More pretties, I think.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- Oh, will you?- Yes, and definitely dogs as well.- Dogs?- Yes. - What sort of dogs?
0:03:19 > 0:03:23I've got a miniature schnauzer and a miniature dachshund, and Lucy's got two as well.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- So we wanted doggie-related articles.- Yes.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Because you know there's a passion in a dog owner,
0:03:29 > 0:03:32and they love ornaments and collectables connected to dogs, yes?
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- Oh, yes! Done my homework. - They're not stupid, these girls!
0:03:35 > 0:03:37They've got their heads screwed on.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Anyway, smashing to meet you, and very good luck.
0:03:39 > 0:03:40Now, after that lot,
0:03:40 > 0:03:43I should think the Blues are quaking in their boots!
0:03:43 > 0:03:45- Are you quaking, Hilary?- Rather. - Rather? Tell me how you two met.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48How did you meet Ron?
0:03:48 > 0:03:50I went on holiday to Jersey
0:03:50 > 0:03:55and Ron was working in a hotel over there as a DJ/game-show host.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58He called bingo...
0:03:58 > 0:04:00- When he met you!- Yes. Well, I won!
0:04:00 > 0:04:03I see, a real game of bingo!
0:04:03 > 0:04:07We spent ten days together, then I went back home to England,
0:04:07 > 0:04:11handed my notice in, rented my flat out,
0:04:11 > 0:04:14and a month later we were back together.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- In Jersey. - And here we are 20-odd years later!
0:04:17 > 0:04:23- A love story over the bingo!- Yes indeed!- Prickety-click!- Yes!- Super.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- And how long have you been back on the mainland?- Two years.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Ron, tell us about your career.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33I've done most things, but probably the longest I was a mobile DJ -
0:04:33 > 0:04:36professional for 20-odd years.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Gosh! So you're keen on records?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Yes, I still have all the records I used to use.
0:04:42 > 0:04:47Some 4,000-odd, sadly now stored in the garage.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- Are you pleased with that, Hils? - Not in the least, no.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53When I bury him, when he pops his clogs, the records are going in with him!
0:04:53 > 0:04:56I see! Be quite a big coffin then, won't it?
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- Yes!- I think you're going to do incredibly well
0:04:59 > 0:05:03with this bargain-hunting lark. In fact, it's the money moment.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07£300 apiece. You know the rules - your experts await!
0:05:07 > 0:05:10And off you go and very, very good luck. Gosh!
0:05:10 > 0:05:15As ever, we have a brace of experts standing by to lend a hand.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19Raring to get this show on the road for the Reds is Anita Manning.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25And hoping to ring up some profits for the Blues is David Barby.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Nice titfer, Dave!
0:05:28 > 0:05:33# Here we come Walking down the street... #
0:05:33 > 0:05:38Oh, girls! We're going to have fun today, I can tell! We've got £300.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42We can do whatever we like with it. What d'you want to buy?
0:05:42 > 0:05:47- Sparkles and pretties.- Sparkles and pretty - just like you two!- Well...!
0:05:47 > 0:05:51- And dogs, definitely. - What are you looking for?
0:05:51 > 0:05:57- Cheap, quirky.- Ooh! Yes, go on? - Not too cheap, but quirky.- Porcelain?
0:05:57 > 0:06:01- Quite like Art Deco. Maybe some silver.- OK.
0:06:07 > 0:06:12Ooh! Things in cabinets. Yeah, but that's really old stuff, isn't it?
0:06:13 > 0:06:15She says, at an antique fair!
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- Oh, I love that car. - That is gorgeous.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26It isn't dogs or sparkles, but it is lovely.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28But it's a bit weird, isn't' it?
0:06:28 > 0:06:32- Anita! It's not dogs, it's not jewellery.- It's fabulous!
0:06:32 > 0:06:36- I think that's great fun, isn't it? - Yes, lovely.- Isn't it strange?
0:06:36 > 0:06:41You can have some preconceived ideas about what you're looking for,
0:06:41 > 0:06:43then you look at something absolutely different.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47Now it's not a 1930s or a 1940s one,
0:06:47 > 0:06:52but I think it's got bags of style, girls - just like you two.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53D'you want to ask how much it is?
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Yes. And it's got red wheels as well. It's meant to be!
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- Pretty with the fleece!- Do red wheels have a big significance?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- Oh, red fleeces...! - Come on, keep up, Anita!
0:07:02 > 0:07:07Look! We were looking at this fabby car. What sort of age is it? '60s?
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- It's a reproduction one. - It's a reproduction one.
0:07:10 > 0:07:15But it's a lovely one and it does reflect in the price. £75.
0:07:15 > 0:07:20Right. We just thought it looked so stylish,
0:07:20 > 0:07:25because it's got red wheels and we're the Red team!
0:07:25 > 0:07:28I don't know if we should put it on the 'maybe' list.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Yeah, cos it's not what we're looking for, is it?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34I could do 65 but I'd already reduced it because today's the last day.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38- Oh! The last day?- Yeah, so it's last-day prices that you're getting.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Could the last-day price be £50?
0:07:42 > 0:07:47I mean, think of having to hump that into your car.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- £55?- Ooh, dear!
0:07:49 > 0:07:50Okey-doke! Yes!
0:07:50 > 0:07:54Fabulous. Thank you.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Lovely. That's so nice.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58- Yes.- Wooh! Winner.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02That car's a reproduction, but they seem to think it's a winner.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06- Time will tell! - So, girls. That was great.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10We're only five minutes in and you've bought your first item!
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Nothing to do with dogs or jewellery! Call that your wild card!
0:08:13 > 0:08:15- It's our wild card!- Definitely!
0:08:16 > 0:08:18The Reds are going a bit off-course there.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Are the Blues faring any better?
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- This little fork?- No.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26We're looking for something much more valuable than those.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- But that's my price range.- No. You've got £300 to spend.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Think in terms of something a little bit more.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36OK, a little bit more, then.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Not worth forking out for, eh, team?
0:08:39 > 0:08:43- What's on the back?- They're French jet.- Can we have a wee look at them?
0:08:43 > 0:08:46What's the difference between French jet and, say, Whitby jet?
0:08:46 > 0:08:50French jet comes from France and Whitby jet comes Whitby!
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Thanks for that, Anita. How about a sensible answer?
0:08:53 > 0:08:58Is glass, French jet, and Whitby jet is actually the proper jet.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01It's interesting that you've chosen them, girls, because I've found
0:09:01 > 0:09:08that textiles and vintage clothing is very popular just now.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11I mean, I like those, girls, and they're not a big, expensive item.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- I would keep them in mind. - As a reserve?
0:09:14 > 0:09:18Yes, in case they don't find any diamonds for £50!
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Yeah! Chance would be a fine thing.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Now, are the Blues going to spend more than a tenner?
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Oh, they're pretty. They're very pretty.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29They are, actually. £2.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33- 2?- £2.- You've done a little bargain, have you?- Everything's £2.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37- That pair's £2.- Oh, right. - Well, she did say cheap!
0:09:37 > 0:09:38They're Art Nouveau.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42One is damaged - the one Ron's got, but it's not too bad.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45It doesn't notice too much.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48- Well, you can't really miss at £2, can you?- No!
0:09:48 > 0:09:52- I'll take everything back that I said earlier on!- OK. Yeah, fine.
0:09:52 > 0:09:57- OK - you like those.- I don't suppose he'll take £1.50, will he?
0:09:57 > 0:09:59What are they, David, again?
0:09:59 > 0:10:02These are bisque porcelain, possibly French,
0:10:02 > 0:10:05and they were mantelpiece ornaments, and you'd put posies in them.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07- They've got a number on the back. - That's right.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09That would be the potting number.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12These were made round about 1900-1905.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Think in terms of Moulin Rouge, Toulouse-Lautrec,
0:10:15 > 0:10:19the Impressionists, this was the big art movement of the time.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23- Ooh-la-la!- Exactly. As you can see here, they're very pretty.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24They are pretty, yes.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- I rather like them.- You wanted to buy something cheap, didn't you?
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- I absolutely love them. They're so pretty.- I think they're pretty.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32A little bit of damage on them, but £2? A bargain.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Got to get at least a fiver for them, surely?
0:10:35 > 0:10:39- I would have thought round about 15. About £15.- Even better.- Art Nouveau.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- Even better! - Yes, we'll take them, then.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46Right, he's going to wrap them up, and we ought to start shopping for that second item.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Yes! With the £298 you've got left!
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- I think that's Art Deco.- Yes! - What have you found, girls?
0:10:56 > 0:11:00- These knife-rests, with the dogs on. - They are great fun!
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- They're gorgeous, aren't they? - The right age, the right brief.
0:11:03 > 0:11:08- They've got dogs on - perfect. - Are they silver?- No, WMF.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11- WMF.- That's the German... isn't it?
0:11:11 > 0:11:13That's right, and it's the right period.
0:11:13 > 0:11:18It's Art Deco, from the 1930s. I think those are absolutely lovely.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- They're quite heavy, aren't they? D'you think it's saleable?- Yes.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25OK, girls, I think that they are most unusual.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29You can't hang them on your ears as earrings.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31They're not jewellery, but they are doggy,
0:11:31 > 0:11:34so it's fulfilling one of your criteria.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36I think they're absolutely lovely.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- I really like them, but it's all about the price.- Definitely.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43- What d'you think?- What have they marked them for?- 78.- £78.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- What's the lowest you'd go on those?- 65.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48What about 60 for a really quick sale?
0:11:48 > 0:11:52Sorry, no, because they're unusual and they've got the dog-appeal!
0:11:52 > 0:11:56- Are you happy with that? - I think they're absolutely super.- OK.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00- And they fulfil one of your criterias.- Two... three!
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- Three?- Yes.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06Dogs, dual-purpose, Art Deco. Perfect.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07They're for you.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- OK, we'll have them, thank you. - Lovely, thank you.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14Number two! Excellent. Well done, girls.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Those Reds were dogged in their quest for canine bling
0:12:17 > 0:12:19and they came up trumps.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23Now, will the Blues splash a bit more cash this time?
0:12:23 > 0:12:26- It is quite interesting. - I like that.
0:12:27 > 0:12:28You don't?
0:12:28 > 0:12:32Well, I don't dislike it but it is £58.
0:12:32 > 0:12:39Hello. You've got this Art Deco light fitting here, at £58.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41What's the best you can do on that, please?
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Is 50 any good? Too much?
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Can we look at 45?
0:12:48 > 0:12:50- Steady on, Ron.- Sold.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51Ooh, she's keen!
0:12:51 > 0:12:52That was too quick.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Sold. Sold.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56I was going to say 40.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59No, I can't. It is lovely.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Has it got any damage on it?
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Right, have a look that. Do you like this?
0:13:04 > 0:13:06- It's a nice decorative item. - Yes, it is.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08That's what I like about it.
0:13:08 > 0:13:09I like it, yes.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15This is where we stand to lose money, perhaps.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Just think of all the money you'll have left over to buy yours!
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Dare I express my opinion?
0:13:20 > 0:13:22I don't think it's got quality.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23I think it's decorative.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27There again, if you have quality, the price would be considerably higher.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Exactly. It's unusual.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31I think it's the sort of thing that younger people
0:13:31 > 0:13:33are actually looking for these days.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37- Do you honestly think so?- Yes, I do. - I don't think it will make a profit
0:13:37 > 0:13:42but we've committed ourselves to £45, so we have to go with that.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43The choice has to be yours.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47I'm here purely in an advisory capacity.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50And you can say, "I told you so", when we make a loss!
0:13:50 > 0:13:52I'd never say that, I'd never say that!
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- Done.- Right, well, we've bought two objects.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Your choice. Let's go and find that third object.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Shall we find something of better quality, maybe?
0:14:00 > 0:14:02A little bit more expensive? Will that make you happier?
0:14:02 > 0:14:07- Maybe silver? Yeah, just... Oh, I'm happy. I'm delirious!- Good!- OK!
0:14:07 > 0:14:10I don't believe a word of it, David. But will it sell?
0:14:10 > 0:14:13OK, girls, we've bought two items.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- How much have we spent?- £120.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19- £120. You loved both of these items.- Yes.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23We've got one more item. We've got half an hour.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24What do you want to buy now?
0:14:24 > 0:14:27I think we need to maybe think about spending small,
0:14:27 > 0:14:29to try and guarantee a bit of a profit.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Even if we don't spend that much and we don't make much,
0:14:31 > 0:14:34just to make sure it's profitable.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Something cheap a husband will buy his wife.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Something cheap a husband might buy his wife.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40I like that line!
0:14:40 > 0:14:43It's really romantic!
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Sounds like you're speaking from experience, Jo.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48But what's this with all the cheap stuff, eh?
0:14:48 > 0:14:50It's quality that counts, teams.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52It's two-all, and pressure's mounting.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55I'm feeling apprehensive because we're half way through
0:14:55 > 0:14:59and we've bought one item, which I thought was very good, for £2,
0:14:59 > 0:15:01and then the second item,
0:15:01 > 0:15:04I would not necessarily have advised them to have bought.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06David's brilliant.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09I think he's disappointed with what we've been purchasing so far
0:15:09 > 0:15:10but not to worry!
0:15:10 > 0:15:13I'd worry less, Hils, if you'd spend more.
0:15:13 > 0:15:18Meanwhile, the Reds seem to be trying a different approach.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21- Tell you what, say we split up for five minutes...- OK.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23- ..and meet back in the middle.- OK.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25- We can spread out.- Yes.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- OK. See you in five.- Bye.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30- We're all walking the same way! - THEY LAUGH
0:15:35 > 0:15:36Everything's a pound!
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Got to find some quality for the girls.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Seriously, we'd make a profit on anything on here.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48- Are you sure? - Well, no, not necessarily!
0:15:48 > 0:15:50No, perhaps not.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00- OK, girls, how did you get on? - We've seen a couple of things.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03They're not exactly fitting the brief but we do quite like them.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Well, forget about the brief if you like.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Remember, I said don't have preconceived ideas.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10If you see something and you're fascinated by it,
0:16:10 > 0:16:14- or you like it then...let's have a look.- Have you seen anything?
0:16:14 > 0:16:18I've seen lots of things but I want you to get things you like.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- OK.- OK, on you go.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Words of wisdom from Anita, there.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25How's David getting on with the Blues?
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Can you hear that tick, tick, tick...?
0:16:30 > 0:16:34- Time's running out.- Right, OK.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36That's my line, Mr Barby.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42We've seen a few things on this stall.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45I don't think you girls need me at all!
0:16:45 > 0:16:47- Right, what do you like?- This one.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Let's have a look. That's rather sweet.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Has it got any age to it?
0:16:51 > 0:16:54I think it's just a pretty piece, but nothing wrong with that.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Have you seen anything else that you like?
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Not jewellery but we do like these.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Right. Again, we've got the animal theme.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05These are little cocktail sticks. Do you have cocktail parties?
0:17:05 > 0:17:07LOVE cocktails!
0:17:07 > 0:17:08Are these silver?
0:17:08 > 0:17:12No. Electro-plated nickel silver. So it's a plated silver.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13- Are these old?- These are old.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17These would be maybe from the 1930s or '40s.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19What sort of money do you think they'd make?
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- What have we got? - £18. Could you do 14?
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- I'll go to 14, yeah.- Go to 14? - It's our final piece.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27If we buy it, we have to be sure.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Shall we just have a quick look?
0:17:30 > 0:17:32- We've got, what, 20 minutes? - Ten minutes.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36- Oh, about ten minutes. - We can always come back, can't we?
0:17:44 > 0:17:46There's lots of interesting things on this stall.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Anything that caught you eye?
0:17:48 > 0:17:49Yeah, the little frogs!
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Frogs?
0:17:51 > 0:17:52These are great fun.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55What we have is a little set of place holders.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58These would sit on your table, with your guests' names on them.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00- Oh, fab!- How much are these?
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- 45.- 45.- 45.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05There's only five. I think there should have been six.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07There should have been six.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11Are people likely not to buy them because it's only five?
0:18:11 > 0:18:15I think they'll be enchanted with the absurdity of them.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18That's it, they are quite ridiculous but they're lovely.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21They're Marmite - you either love them or don't like them at all.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23It's your choice.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24You've got one minute to make a decision.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27- Go and have a think about it and come back.- OK.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Choices, choices.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32What does Madame Manning have to say?
0:18:32 > 0:18:35We've got one minute left...
0:18:35 > 0:18:37they've got their third item to buy,
0:18:37 > 0:18:41they've got two to choose from, they don't know what to do.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44I'm not going to help them but I know which one I would choose.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Oh, Anita, you tease!
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Now, it looks like Hilary's got a new tactic.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54How about big, bold and tacky?
0:18:54 > 0:18:55What's that?
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- The large ones. - How much are they, sir?
0:18:58 > 0:19:00- They're 700. - THEY LAUGH
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Would you like them wrapped?
0:19:03 > 0:19:04That'll be a no!
0:19:04 > 0:19:08The sands of time are running out for these bargain hunters.
0:19:08 > 0:19:09Go on, shake a leg, teams!
0:19:09 > 0:19:15This is quite an interesting little piece. Where's Ron? Ron?
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Come along, Ron!
0:19:17 > 0:19:21Now this is called a cellar knife and basically this would be
0:19:21 > 0:19:25taken down to the cellar to your wine store and you'd end up with a bottle
0:19:25 > 0:19:29encrusted with sort of mould and the seal would be still round the edge.
0:19:29 > 0:19:35- So you'd cut the seal off. And then you'd brush the bottle.- Oh, right.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38So this is a cellar knife. Quite a rare object.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Date-wise, probably beginning of the 19th century.
0:19:41 > 0:19:42Let me have a look at it.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48- So how much is the cellar knife? - Erm... 100, sir.
0:19:48 > 0:19:54- 100... Is that the very best price you could do?- 80 is...definitely. - MAKES CHOKING SOUND
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- How about 75? - MAKES CHOKING SOUND
0:19:57 > 0:20:01Sorry, madam. Can't do. It's about 1820. They're quite rare.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03And it was 70, did we say?
0:20:03 > 0:20:04Don't push it, Hils!
0:20:04 > 0:20:09I'll give you a chance, 75. But it's got to be 75.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- RON: I think you're being very fair. - Thank you.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14- We'll take it.- OK.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Right. Thank you very much, sir.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22If I could reach you, I'd give you a kiss and say thank you.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26Oh, God! That's playing to the gallery, isn't it?
0:20:26 > 0:20:30How low will you stoop? Anyway, that's the Blues finished.
0:20:30 > 0:20:35- Girls, you've got five seconds. Make up your minds.- What do you think?
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Picks or frogs? Frogs or picks?
0:20:38 > 0:20:42- Quick.- It's your choice. - Picks, choosing the picks. - We'll go for the picks.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- You're going for the picks. Well done. That was nerve-wracking.- A bit!
0:20:45 > 0:20:49Dogs, cockerels, frogs... I can't keep up.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52We got them for £14. A good buy.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55I would have gone for the frogs.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Naughty Anita! But I can't help but agree.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02Anyway, their hour's up, so here's a reminder of what they actually bought.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07It may be a reproduction, but the furry hatted ones thought
0:21:07 > 0:21:12they'd spotted a winner with this child's pedal car, bought for £55.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15They met all three of their criteria, dogs, Deco,
0:21:15 > 0:21:19dual purpose, but these WMF knife rests were a gamble at £65.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24It was a toss up between these and some froggy place settings.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27But the cockerels crowed loudest for the Reds
0:21:27 > 0:21:30and they stumped up £14 for the set.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33- Have you made the right decision? - On two of three, we're pretty confident.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37- And we've got a wild card. We'll see what happens on that one. - I love wild card.
0:21:37 > 0:21:42I love the wintery weather. I think it brings out the best in headgear.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46- So have you had a lovely shop? - Yes, fantastic, thank you.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50- Which is your favourite?- The knife stands.- Is it?- I love them.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53- That's your favourite. Do you agree with her?- I do love the knife stand.
0:21:53 > 0:21:58My personal favourite is the car, but we'll just have to see if we make anything on that one.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02- How much did you spend overall? - We spent overall £134.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Which is not a lot of money, to get all that beauty.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08OK. £166 leftover lolly, please.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10£166.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12- One hundred and sixty... - Count it.
0:22:12 > 0:22:13THEY LAUGH
0:22:13 > 0:22:15There's the one pound. That's what I'm looking for.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17- Over to you, Anita. - Thank you.
0:22:17 > 0:22:22- What will you spend that on? - Well, the girls had intended to buy some jewellery, some bling,
0:22:22 > 0:22:27so I'm hoping I might be able to buy a big one-carat diamond with that.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29- Oh, really?! - SHE LAUGHS
0:22:29 > 0:22:32In your dreams, doll! Anyway, good luck, girls.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36Meanwhile, why don't we find out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:22:36 > 0:22:40These dodgy French Art Nouveau posy holders were £2 for the pair.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43And some might say overpriced at that.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Much to Davis's horror,
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Ron was a bit quick off the mark with this Art Deco lamp.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51At £45 paid, will it light up the auction?
0:22:51 > 0:22:56A rare thing this, a Georgian cellar knife with an original brush.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59And the £75 deal was sealed with a kiss.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04So what is your best bargain today?
0:23:04 > 0:23:06- I think it is that cellar knife. - The cellar knife.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09- Not that lamp? - No!
0:23:09 > 0:23:12They do like a debate. You do like a debate, don't you?
0:23:12 > 0:23:14- Oh, we do indeed. - Yes.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- Have you enjoyed the shopping? - We have.- Lovely. Wonderful.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19David Barby looked after you satisfactorily?
0:23:19 > 0:23:21- We looked after David. - He was wonderful.
0:23:21 > 0:23:26Oh, I see. Lovely. And how much did you spend all round?
0:23:26 > 0:23:27£122.
0:23:27 > 0:23:28- £122.- Yes.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Please may I have £178.
0:23:31 > 0:23:36- Yes?- £175.- £175. Thank you.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38- And three pounds. - And three smackers.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41- Rubbing your hands there as usual, David.- Yes.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44- Pleased to receive the cash.- Make it a good one.- If only it were mine.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47So your bonus buy's going to go on what? Don't tell us.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51Something rather rare and special to reflect the contestants.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55- Rare and special like you. - THEY LAUGH
0:23:55 > 0:23:57- I didn't say that. - No, you didn't say that but I did.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00OK, we'll stand by for that with excitement.
0:24:00 > 0:24:01Look forward to it very much.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Tea all round for you chaps. And, David, good luck.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08Meanwhile, we're heading off to a splendiferous castle. Ooo-ah!
0:24:13 > 0:24:18Tucked away in the rural landscape of North Herefordshire is Croft Castle.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22Almost 30 generations of the Croft family have lived here
0:24:22 > 0:24:27and their castle has gone through many changes over the last 1,000 years.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Our story starts here in the 11th century,
0:24:32 > 0:24:39when Edward the Confessor invited Bernard De Croft a Norman knight
0:24:39 > 0:24:43to build a castle to guard against the Welsh border.
0:24:43 > 0:24:49The castle that we see here today would appear to date from that early-Norman period,
0:24:49 > 0:24:53but that, in fact, is not the case.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57Surprisingly, most of the present castle was built in 17th century.
0:24:57 > 0:25:02It's an example of Gothic revival, so it looks much older than it actually is.
0:25:02 > 0:25:07In fact, it boasts three different periods of Gothic building styles.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11After the castle was reduced to a shell during the English Civil War,
0:25:11 > 0:25:13the Crofts rebuilt it.
0:25:13 > 0:25:18The towers at the corners are from this time, the 1660s.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Then it was altered again in the 1760s,
0:25:21 > 0:25:23when these two bays were added.
0:25:23 > 0:25:31Finally, in 1913 the Gothic entrance porch was added on the ground floor around the doorway.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35Complicated,... innit? And the revisions don't stop there.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39This is a sketch of the castle from the southwest in 1834.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44And it sure has changed today.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- COWS MOO - I'm gad you're enjoying the show.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51Because in 1913, the architect Walter Sarel
0:25:51 > 0:25:56removed the castellations on the south front.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Look, that's what it looked like, all those hit-and-miss bits.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02There we have nothing at all.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06We've still got the parapet wall but without the castellations
0:26:06 > 0:26:09and we've still got three windows but those windows
0:26:09 > 0:26:11don't light rooms any more.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14They've simply got dummy panes of glass in them
0:26:14 > 0:26:17and the colour of those panes of glass is lilac.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19How sweet!
0:26:20 > 0:26:24And if you like a bit of architectural detective work,
0:26:24 > 0:26:27then the west front deserves closer inspection.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31A series of Georgian windows run alongside this side of the house
0:26:31 > 0:26:35with this earlier mullioned window mysteriously left intact.
0:26:37 > 0:26:42This is the other side of that window from inside.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Amazing, isn't it?
0:26:44 > 0:26:48Now, completely covered up in early 18th century panelling
0:26:48 > 0:26:51and you can tell there's a window there
0:26:51 > 0:26:53because there's light coming through a crack in the panelling.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Why would you do that?
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Perhaps you had a large piece of furniture that you needed to
0:26:58 > 0:27:01go in against that length of wall.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Otherwise, it's inexplicable.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07But this room has had a lot of alterations in it
0:27:07 > 0:27:10over the years, most notably in the middle of the 18th century,
0:27:10 > 0:27:13this glorious rococo ceiling.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17The ceiling was part of the interior
0:27:17 > 0:27:21remodelling of the castle in the 1760's in the Gothic rococo manner.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Like many aristocratic families,
0:27:24 > 0:27:28the Crofts were simply keeping up with the fashions of the time.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30But what a treat they left for us to enjoy.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37The big question is, will our teams be in for a treat at today's sale
0:27:37 > 0:27:41at Gildings Auctioneers in Market Harborough?
0:27:46 > 0:27:49And here we are with Mark Gilding. Very nice to be here.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Anyway, Joanne and Lucy they went with this old bus. Any good?
0:27:52 > 0:27:54- Bit of fun!- You've got children. - I do, yes.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58- Would your children want to pedal round in this?- I think they would.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00That eldest boy of yours is just about the right age.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02You're a potential buyer!
0:28:02 > 0:28:06- No, seriously, it's not very old, is it?- No, not very old.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09- 1980's?- 1980's, but a great looking thing.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13- What's it worth?- I think it might make 80 to 100.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17- That would be brilliant, because our lot paid £55.- Good.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20That's the right price to pay. If you get your estimate it'd be great.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Next, the two dog knife rests. WMF.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27And all marked up and very good Art Deco objects.
0:28:27 > 0:28:32I don't know how very collectable knife rests are these days,
0:28:32 > 0:28:35but if you wanted some, they're really nice, aren't they?
0:28:35 > 0:28:36They're a good example.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40And I rather like these doleful dogs, looking rather sad.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43- Good luck to them. - How much?- 50 to 70.- £65 paid.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47Not going to make a great deal out of them, but interesting.
0:28:47 > 0:28:52The last item are the six plated cocktail sticks.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54I have noticed in the past when we've had these in silver,
0:28:54 > 0:28:59they've all universally done very, very badly.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01At least they've got a box, though.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05They've got the box and they've got the cock tail on the top,
0:29:05 > 0:29:08hence you know what drink to stick them in.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10- How much?- £10-£15 only.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12They paid £14 and depending how they get on
0:29:12 > 0:29:16with the pedal car, they could be completely sunk here, in which case
0:29:16 > 0:29:18they're going to need their bonus buy, so let's look at it.
0:29:19 > 0:29:23Now, Jo-Jo, Luce...you spent £134.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26You gave £166 to Anita Manning.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28- Did you blow the lot Anita? - No, I didn't.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31The girls were very careful and canny
0:29:31 > 0:29:34and I thought I would be just the same.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36- Oooh!- It's a little hatpin.
0:29:36 > 0:29:42During the late 19th, early 20th century, hats got bigger
0:29:42 > 0:29:44and bigger and bigger,
0:29:44 > 0:29:49so they had wonderful ornate hat pins to hold onto their hair.
0:29:49 > 0:29:53This is like a Charles Horner style hatpin with a sort of
0:29:53 > 0:29:57art nouveau mount here in a little piece of amber class at the top.
0:29:57 > 0:30:02- Do you like it?- It's lovely. Almost like a thistle. Very appropriate.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06- Very appropriate!- I love it. - That's beautiful.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10- How much did you pay for it? - £25.- OK!
0:30:10 > 0:30:15- And what you expect it to go for? - £30.- Fantastic.- Like it, girls?
0:30:15 > 0:30:16Love it.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18Well done, Anita.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20You don't choose now, you choose later after
0:30:20 > 0:30:22the sale of your first three items.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Right now, for the audience at home,
0:30:24 > 0:30:28let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Anita's hat pin.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32Lovely for an Agatha Christie murder mystery.
0:30:32 > 0:30:33How do you rate these hat pins?
0:30:33 > 0:30:36They're not as collectable as they used to be.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Like a lot of these things, it's all change in the market now
0:30:39 > 0:30:41and I would put an estimate of 30 to 40.
0:30:41 > 0:30:46Fair enough. Anita paid £25, which I think is the right price to pay.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49We just have to hope it comes up trumps.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52In fact, it looks rather nice on the knife rest.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55Anyway, that's it for the Reds, now for the Blues.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Bit of a mixture. We have a pair of these posy holders which David Barby
0:30:58 > 0:31:02went with because he thought
0:31:02 > 0:31:04they were amazingly cheap, irrespective of the condition.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07He rather cheekily paid £2 for them.
0:31:07 > 0:31:08Bit of a disappointment really!
0:31:08 > 0:31:12I mean, you'd never take anything in in this sale room, valued at £2,
0:31:12 > 0:31:16- would you? You wouldn't have an individual lot at £2.- No, quite.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19I think they've been a bit silly in buying a cheap thing,
0:31:19 > 0:31:23- but might they make a pound or two? - They might make a pound or two
0:31:23 > 0:31:25and we might find someone who's feeling pitiful on the day.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27All right, fine.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30Next up, though, something more promising which is the amber glass
0:31:30 > 0:31:33ceiling light fitting.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35In style, probably slightly out of period
0:31:35 > 0:31:38but a good looking light fitting. Glass is all in good condition
0:31:38 > 0:31:40and the chrome mounts again, relatively good.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43- What's your estimate? - 30 to 40.- £45 paid.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46What about that lethal looking weapon down the end?
0:31:46 > 0:31:50Described as the treen cellar knife, from a wine cellar I guess.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54Yes, I think it's a good thing. Where would you find another?
0:31:54 > 0:31:56I think that's probably quite a rare thing
0:31:56 > 0:32:01and there are wine fans who pay huge amounts for their wines
0:32:01 > 0:32:05and the accoutrements that go with them. Difficult to value though?
0:32:05 > 0:32:07I put my finger in the air and gone for 80 to 120!
0:32:07 > 0:32:12- Well done, cos they paid £75. I am sure you're right.- Me too!
0:32:12 > 0:32:15- I'm sure I'm right!- Well of course you're sure you're right!
0:32:15 > 0:32:18There we go. Depending on how the knife does will determine
0:32:18 > 0:32:20whether they make a profit or not.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23And in case not, let's have a look at the bonus buy.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26Hilary, Ron, you spent £122. You gave David Barby £178.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30- What did you spend it on, David? - Something quite unique.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33This is a campaign chamber.
0:32:33 > 0:32:34- BOTH:- Love it!
0:32:34 > 0:32:38Probably from a gentleman's vanity case but it's such an unusual item
0:32:38 > 0:32:43to have survived. This was made in 1900. I love this hammered effect.
0:32:43 > 0:32:47- Possibly you could use it as a female make-up brush now.- Yes, indeed.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51- Isn't that lovely, so unusual? - I think it's beautiful.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55- I paid £78 for it.- Right. - Will it make a profit?
0:32:55 > 0:32:58Hopefully, there's someone out there going to pay a little more
0:32:58 > 0:33:00- than I paid for it. - We hope so. Good, well done, David.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03You didn't have to decide now, you can pick later,
0:33:03 > 0:33:05but right now for the audience at home,
0:33:05 > 0:33:08let's find out what the auctioneer thinks of David's shaving brush.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11- There we go. That's a nice example. - Yes, it is.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15Solid silver and an unusual design, this screwtop.
0:33:15 > 0:33:16Which you can then fold away.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20Yeah. I mean, if you were a wet shaving fan, that's really useful.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23Yes, I think we need to find a few of those in Market Harborough.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26Amongst all the beards. Good! What do you think it's worth?
0:33:26 > 0:33:31- I've put 70 to 100.- Very good, £78 paid by David Barby.- OK.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34He clearly rates it and who knows,
0:33:34 > 0:33:37it may get his team out of trouble yet.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41- Anyway, you're taking the sale today Mark?- I am.- We're in safe hands.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51- Girls are you ready for this?- Very. - So exciting, isn't it?
0:33:51 > 0:33:54Nobody knows what's going to happen in an auction
0:33:54 > 0:33:57and look, we've got a crowded room.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59Internet is connected, anything could happen.
0:33:59 > 0:34:04That pedal car...why are you wincing like that?
0:34:04 > 0:34:06Just not 100% sure on that one.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08You've got nothing to worry about.
0:34:08 > 0:34:12- According to the auctioneer, he's put £80-£100 on it.- Yes! Come on!
0:34:12 > 0:34:16You paid 55. I personally think that's a whopping estimate.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Mine would be 40 to 60 but he's put 80 to 120,
0:34:19 > 0:34:22because it's not an old thing.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24And here we go, vroom, vroom!
0:34:24 > 0:34:27Child's pedal car, lots of interest here.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29Bids start at 25, 35,
0:34:29 > 0:34:3135, bid now, 35, I'm bid at 45.

0:34:48 > 0:34:54£55. It's wiped its face, don't worry. No pain, no gain, no shame.
0:34:56 > 0:35:00- The dog knife rests. Here it comes. - Bidding £18 for the pair of these.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04£18, I'm bid 20, 22, 25, 28.
0:35:04 > 0:35:0828, 30, bid now £30.

0:35:16 > 0:35:18Yes, thank you very much. Go on!
0:35:18 > 0:35:2135 and selling at £38, 38.
0:35:21 > 0:35:25- Keep going!- Don't wait internet, press your button nice and quickly.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Selling at 38...
0:35:27 > 0:35:33Bad luck, girls, two off 40. That's 27... minus 27.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37- Minus 27's a bore!- I'd have paid 40!
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Here come the cocktail sticks.
0:35:39 > 0:35:45The six electro plated cocktail sticks with cockerel terminals.
0:35:45 > 0:35:46Two pounds I'm bid for these.
0:35:46 > 0:35:52- Two I'm bid at two, five pounds. £8, I'm bid ten.- Keep going!
0:35:52 > 0:35:55Ten pounds, now 12, 15, 15, 18 with the internet,
0:35:55 > 0:35:58- bid at 18, new bid at 20... - Look at that.
0:35:58 > 0:36:0220 on my left on internet, you're out and you're out here.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05I'm bid at 20, selling to the room at 20, 22!
0:36:05 > 0:36:08- 25.- Bonkers!
0:36:08 > 0:36:1128 on my right, this time. At 28.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14- Plus £14.- Beautiful set.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17That's minus 13. What are you going to do with the hat pin?
0:36:17 > 0:36:21- Do it.- Do it?- We're going for it.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25Yes? You're so positive, you girls. You're so lovely!
0:36:25 > 0:36:30I've never seen anybody so positive about a hat pin before!
0:36:30 > 0:36:33There's obviously something going on here.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36- Right, we're going with the hat pin?- Yes.
0:36:36 > 0:36:40The bonus buy, we're going with it, that's the decision. Anita paid £25.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42I can tell you now you've decided,
0:36:42 > 0:36:44the auctioneer's estimate is £30-£50.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48- Come on the hatpin.- He sees you doubling your money, potentially.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50Fine, we're going with the bonus buy. Here it comes.
0:36:50 > 0:36:54The white metal amethyst glass mounted hat pin.
0:36:54 > 0:37:00- Lots of bids on the book here, the opening bid is £35.- Yes!- £35 I'm bid.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03At £35 I'm bid at 35. At eight do I see?
0:37:03 > 0:37:05It's so pretty.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09At 38, 40, 40 bid now, I'm bid at 40.
0:37:09 > 0:37:14- Internet winning and selling at £40. - Well done, Anita. £40! I love it.
0:37:14 > 0:37:19That's plus £15, which means overall, you're plus £2!
0:37:19 > 0:37:23- That is so good!- Way wicked!
0:37:23 > 0:37:29One pound each. Isn't that fantastic? One pound!
0:37:29 > 0:37:31It doesn't take a lot to please them.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34Doesn't take much to please most of us actually.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36Girls, that's good, isn't it?
0:37:36 > 0:37:39£2 is a pound each and that's a profit
0:37:39 > 0:37:43and nobody makes profits on Bargain Hunt, right, but you just have!
0:37:43 > 0:37:47- We're happy.- The big thing now is don't say a word to the Blues.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50- Fair enough.- OK? - Lips sealed.- Schtum.- Schtum.
0:37:58 > 0:38:03- Hilary, Ron, how are you feeling? - Apprehensive.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06What have you got to be worried about?
0:38:06 > 0:38:10- Not worried, just... - Less confident. As time goes by.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13They're slightly frightening things sometimes, auctions.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16But you've got a roomful of people here and the auction is going very well,
0:38:16 > 0:38:19- so I think you'll be just fine. - BOTH: Good.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22First of all, we've got a disaster to explain which is
0:38:22 > 0:38:27the damage in transit for one of your bisque porcelain vases,
0:38:27 > 0:38:30one of which was already broken. You only paid £2 for the two.
0:38:30 > 0:38:35We've asked the auctioneer for his estimate, were they perfect.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38£10 to £20 would be his estimate.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41What we're going to do is treat it as an automatic insurance claim
0:38:41 > 0:38:44with a £10 payment so you can't be disadvantaged.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47- So we're already in profit. - Jolly good.- You are!
0:38:47 > 0:38:49And here they come.
0:38:49 > 0:38:54Posy vases, damaged these are. Bidding here, £2 I'm bid.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57£2 on these.
0:38:57 > 0:39:02At £2, watching to see if anybody's bidding at £2.
0:39:02 > 0:39:07At £2, £5. £5 I'm bid!
0:39:07 > 0:39:08The internet is a wonderful thing.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11At £5 I'm bid and selling at £5.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14£5 it sold for.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17We're treating it as plus £10 so you are already £10 up.
0:39:17 > 0:39:22- Chrome framed light fitting, £10 to start.- Here comes the lamp.
0:39:22 > 0:39:26£10 I'm bid for the light fitting, 10, 12, 15, 18.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28Higher!
0:39:28 > 0:39:3318 and 20 looking for. At 18 I'm bid here. At £18. 20.
0:39:33 > 0:39:3522, 22 now.
0:39:35 > 0:39:4125, shaking his head, then at 25 with the internet.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44All out in the room, then away at 25.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46Oh dear, that's minus 20.
0:39:46 > 0:39:51So that's £25, you are minus 20 on that, £10 was your credit at top,
0:39:51 > 0:39:53so you're minus £10.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Could have been worse.
0:39:55 > 0:40:00..turned mahogany handle, with a brush. Bit of a rarity, this one.
0:40:00 > 0:40:05- Bidding opens at £55.- Dear, oh dear. - 60, 65.
0:40:05 > 0:40:0870, 75, 80, 85,
0:40:08 > 0:40:1090, bid at 90 in the room.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Come on. You can do better.
0:40:13 > 0:40:1890 on my left. Near the door at 90. Selling at £90.
0:40:18 > 0:40:23£90. £90 is plus £15. You were minus £10.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26You're now plus £5!
0:40:29 > 0:40:32- How about that?- It's a shame but we're in profit.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34What are you going to do about the shaving brush?
0:40:34 > 0:40:36It cost £78.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40You going to park it and take away your £5 profit or
0:40:40 > 0:40:44risk your profit and run with the shaving brush?
0:40:44 > 0:40:46- Do we have an estimate on it? - No.- We trust David.
0:40:46 > 0:40:50- We'll do it. - You asked what the estimate is.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52You've now made your decision.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55I can tell you. The auctioneer estimated £70 to £100.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57- It might just...- David paid 78.
0:40:57 > 0:41:01- He rates it so let's hope... right now, it's going up. - A quirky, unusual item.
0:41:01 > 0:41:06A silver travelling shaving brush and bidding here starts at £35.
0:41:06 > 0:41:1045, 55, 65,
0:41:10 > 0:41:1375, 80 do I see? 75 I'm bid.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16- Higher!- Shh!
0:41:16 > 0:41:1975 I'm bid and will sell. At 75.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21Oh no!
0:41:21 > 0:41:23£75. That's minus three,
0:41:23 > 0:41:28which means you are plus two!
0:41:28 > 0:41:31- Better than nothing at all. - At least we haven't made a loss.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33Anyway, you've been good sports,
0:41:33 > 0:41:37lovely to have a profit to go away with of £1 each.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40And we'll sort out the winners and runners-up.
0:41:40 > 0:41:44- We'll buy a cup of coffee with that. - And quite right too!
0:41:53 > 0:41:57In my years on Bargain Hunt I have seen some pretty strange results
0:41:57 > 0:42:01but today's result for these lovely teams is,
0:42:01 > 0:42:04I think, absolutely unique!
0:42:04 > 0:42:07So you girls and girl and boy
0:42:07 > 0:42:10- have had the greatest fun, haven't you?- ALL: Yes!
