0:00:08 > 0:00:11It's a glorious day here in Hungerford
0:00:11 > 0:00:15and we've got two teams with a hunger for haggling,
0:00:15 > 0:00:18so let's go bargain hunting. Yeah!
0:00:47 > 0:00:52The market town of Hungerford dates back some 900 years
0:00:52 > 0:00:54which makes it an ideal place
0:00:54 > 0:00:58steeped in history for bargain-hunting.
0:00:58 > 0:01:03But the big question is, will our teams today make historic profits?
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Here's a quick peek at what's coming up.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Reds show Charlie how it's done...
0:01:12 > 0:01:15..whilst the Blues go from one extreme to another.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18It's £9 and it's kind of cool, isn't it?
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Has it got a price?
0:01:20 > 0:01:22£1,350.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Now the rules. If you don't know them by now, then shame on you.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31But here they are anyway. £300 each team, one hour,
0:01:31 > 0:01:34buy three objects. The team wins that makes the most profit
0:01:34 > 0:01:38later at auction. Right. Let's go and meet today's teams.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42We've got two teams of couples on the show today.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44For the Reds, we've got Sue and Keith.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48- And for the Blues, we've got Carly and Simon. Hello, everyone.- Hello.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Lovely to see you. Now, how did you two get together?
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Well, we met at an arranged dinner party.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57We didn't realise it was arranged, but we were both widowed at the time
0:01:57 > 0:02:00and we met through these friends.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04We didn't meet up again for about eight months after that,
0:02:04 > 0:02:07but very soon after that, we realised we were fond of one another
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- and got married.- How sweet. And how long ago was that?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- Nearly 40 years.- Really?!- 40 years this summer. That's right.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- You're a busy lady today, aren't you?- Yes, I'm still working.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20I still work at the Winchester Cathedral Choir School.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24- What do you do there? - I run the second-hand clothes shop,
0:02:24 > 0:02:26I work occasionally in the music department
0:02:26 > 0:02:30and I am what our headmaster calls the alumni secretary.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32- So you look after the old boys? - I look after the old boys.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36- That's quite a task.- The old girl looking after the old boys.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38- You haven't retired either, have you?- No, I'm still working.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- I'm 81 this week, but I'm still working.- Congratulations.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45- What do you do? - I'm what is known as a rentier.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49That is I rent out small properties to aspiring businessmen
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- and small businesses. - You're into heavy duty fishing.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56- Tell us about that. - Yes, I enjoy heavy duty fishing.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59I've fished all over the world, really.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Let us hope that today on Bargain Hunt you're going to be able to reel in some real whoppers.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07- Thank you.- We shall see. Hopefully spend all your cash anyway.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Now, Blues, are you quaking in your boots?
0:03:10 > 0:03:14- Yes.- Yeah.- How did you two meet?
0:03:14 > 0:03:17We met online two years ago now.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21- How does all that work then? - Just emails really.- Is it?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Yeah, you go onto a website and you upload a load of photos
0:03:24 > 0:03:26- and you write something witty. - Do you?
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- Hopefully, she'll find it funny. - Yeah, he was quite amusing.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32I think I annoyed you, actually, more than anything.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34He made a statement about being old
0:03:34 > 0:03:36- and I'm actually a year older than him.- Right.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- I'm the toy boy, you see.- Yeah. - So that was the irritant...
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- It wound me up.- ..the irritant that you found attractive.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- We've been irritating each other ever since.- Ever since. Pretty much.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Well, that's rather good. Now, Carly, what you do is a bit hush-hush, isn't it?
0:03:49 > 0:03:54Yes. I'm a contract trainer for MoD and Government establishments.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56- And you sign the Official Secrets Act?- Yes.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Well, we won't delve into any of that. But what can we talk about that you get up to?
0:04:00 > 0:04:04I get up to... I attempt to bake.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Just yesterday I was frosting some cupcakes with icing
0:04:08 > 0:04:11- and my piping bag exploded. - Did it?- Went everywhere.
0:04:11 > 0:04:16All over the kitchen and all over me. So I do enjoy it but...
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- What are they like? Honestly, Simon.- Rustic.- Any good or not? - They're lovely.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23You're going to get on terribly well. That's the right answer.
0:04:23 > 0:04:28- Now, Simon, hopefully you can tell us a bit about what you do for a living.- Game development.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32So I spend all my time sitting on a computer by myself,
0:04:32 > 0:04:36isolated in my room, making games for mobile phones
0:04:36 > 0:04:38and more recently for PC.
0:04:38 > 0:04:43What do you get up to outside work? If you can call it that.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46I love motorbikes. I love building stuff.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50- I used to design, build and fly remote control planes...- And crash.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52..and then crash them shortly afterwards.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54- She's brought you right down to earth.- She has.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56I think we should let battle commence, don't you?
0:04:56 > 0:05:00And to kick off with, let's have £300 apiece. There's your money.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03You know the rules. Your experts await and off you go.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Very, very, very, very, very good luck. Gosh.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Whatever's going to happen next.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12And seeking out bargains for the Reds today, it's Charlie Ross.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Whilst for the Blues, it's the very dapper Jonathan Pratt.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30So, have you got a house full of lovely things between you?
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- Well...- We've got quite a lot of stuff, but when we married 40 years ago,
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Sue chucked most of my good stuff out.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39- So, which one of you is the decision maker?- He is.- I thought you weren't going to decide on anything!
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- Has he got good taste?- No.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46So I'm looking at YOU now to make all the decisions.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48I'm going to be the man.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51We're going to pop in here and have a look around.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Thank you.
0:05:53 > 0:05:54Here we are.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57- Keep an eye on her.- I will.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12- That is an interesting corkscrew, isn't it, of some sort?- It is.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15It doesn't look that old to me. That would be the only comment.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16It does look 20th-century, doesn't it?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19I'm interested in corkscrews because of my interest in wine.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21- Because of your interest in wine. - Yes.- Yes.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25So, what are you looking for? What sort of things would you really want to put your money into?
0:06:25 > 0:06:29Ceramics? Glass? Silver? Jewellery? Furniture? Paintings?
0:06:29 > 0:06:35I like gadgets, so, you know, telescopes, maritime-type stuff...
0:06:35 > 0:06:36- OK.- Anything like that. Anything.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40- What have you found?- I have found that little vesta case. What do you think of that?
0:06:40 > 0:06:44- Ooh. A little vesta case. - Yes.- Is it silver? - No, it's not. It's brass.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- It's brass, is it?- Yes.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49It says "vintage" which is an interesting word
0:06:49 > 0:06:51that's come into the antique trade in the last few years, really.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56- To me, vintage... - Vintage wine can be this year.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Keith's got wine on the brain!
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Come on, it's shopping time, not drinking time!
0:07:02 > 0:07:04- He's quite funny! - He is quite cool, isn't he?!
0:07:04 > 0:07:071979, it's silver. I mean, it's way out of our budget!
0:07:07 > 0:07:09- £389, yeah!- So, don't lead them
0:07:09 > 0:07:12down the slippery slope to an overspend, JP!
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Come on - are you back on course, Blues?
0:07:17 > 0:07:21- This looks more like it... - Marine compass or something.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- Yeah.- Let's have a look.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28It's French, isn't it? I mean, it says, "Numero
0:07:28 > 0:07:30"d'approbation," which obviously...
0:07:30 > 0:07:32means...something, in French!
0:07:32 > 0:07:36I believe it means "approval number", JP.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41Meanwhile, Keith can't take his mind off the bottle.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- A couple of corkscrews there as well. - That's a fabulous corkscrew.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- Do you know how much that is? - No.- That's a Thomason patent,
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- and that's just the £500, sir. - Is that all?- Yes!- OK...
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- Could buy a good bottle of wine for that, couldn't you?- Sort of, yes.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57- Ha-ha!- Now, what are the Blues going to do about that compass?
0:07:57 > 0:07:58- There's no price on it...- No.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- ..which might mean... - It's free!- It's free!
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- Nice try!- Well, you could ask!
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Erm, I mean, do you like it?
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- You were thinking of scientific and maritime...- It's one of those things
0:08:10 > 0:08:13that, for the right price, I'd really like it, but if they turn round
0:08:13 > 0:08:16and say, "That's £300," then we're walking away.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18- Why don't you go and ask him? - Might as well.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- Just say you like it...- While the Blues track down the manager,
0:08:22 > 0:08:24the Reds are still hunting for their first buy.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28- I have an eye on a little bargain over there.- Ooh, I like a bargain!
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Me, too - that's the name of the game!
0:08:30 > 0:08:33- HORN SOUNDS - Oh, dear!
0:08:33 > 0:08:35THEY LAUGH
0:08:35 > 0:08:38It's not... They call it a bugle.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41I wouldn't call that a bugle. A bugle is a curled handle, isn't it?
0:08:41 > 0:08:45- Yes, yes.- It's a horn.- It's a horn, it's a valve-less horn.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- I have to say, it's only £8.50. - I know...
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- In your immortal words, there's not a lot of downside.- No...
0:08:53 > 0:08:54£50...
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- He will do 45... - He won't do anything better?
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- No, I'm sorry, 45 is the best. - OK, shall we keep that as a...
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Have a thought. There's no-one else
0:09:02 > 0:09:04at the moment who's going to snaffle that.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Don't lose your direction, Blues! Ha!
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- OVERLAID, IMPRESSIVE HORN SOUNDS - I don't believe it! Decision time,
0:09:09 > 0:09:11- Reds - horn or no horn? - It's quite fun.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14It is fun. And that's got a bit of antiquity.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- It's not new.- No.- It's neither one thing or another.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- I expect a hunting horn to be at least another foot longer.- Yes.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- Well, a hun... - And it certainly isn't a bugle.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- Let me try, let me try.- A hunting horn is really quite short.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28- Oh... - HORN BLOWS WEAKLY
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Yes, that's the way to blow it, Charlie(!)
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Sue, has he spent most of your
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- married life blowing his own trumpet?- Absolutely!
0:09:35 > 0:09:39Well, she's always putting me down, so I've got to do something!
0:09:39 > 0:09:41- I think we ought to buy that. - I think it's a...
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- It's a nice piece.- I think it will definitely make a bob or two.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46So, what have we got here, then?
0:09:46 > 0:09:51We've got a mis...a mis-described musical instrument...
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- Right, OK.- ..which is not a bugle, it's a horn.- Right, OK.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- £8.50...- £8.50.- And how much would you like to pay for it?!
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- I would go to £6.- Oooh!
0:10:00 > 0:10:04- Don't squirm like that.- Oh, sorry. - I was expecting to pay seven for it.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05- Oh, right, right.- Right, OK...
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Ah! Good tactics there, Keith(!)
0:10:08 > 0:10:10- That caught my eye, that little... - # Don't stop me
0:10:10 > 0:10:13# Having a good time, having a good time... #
0:10:13 > 0:10:15- How about that? - It's very plain, Simon.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17It's £9, and it's kind of...
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- It's kind of cool, isn't it? - You'd buy it?
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- I think you've got an eye for quality, Jonathan...- Well, I have.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- ..and I've got an eye for... - Junk. No.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Right, OK, off we go!
0:10:28 > 0:10:30We were very lucky - he said yes to £6.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Well, that's...that's very lucky!
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- That's fantastic. - You know my comment, don't you?- Yes!
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Wish you'd started at five!
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Great. First one in the old bag, Reds.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44But Blues haven't bought anything yet, and are looking a tad lost.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- I'm feeling the pressure now. - Right - I think, to be honest,
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- it would be better just to buy something...- OK.- ..and then...
0:10:50 > 0:10:52- Make us feel better. - It would make us feel better!
0:10:52 > 0:10:54And then get on and...
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- Carly...- ..maybe go over the road.- Yes?
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- May I buy the compass? - You may buy the compass!
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- Am I haggling, am I?- Mmm.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- You want it.- Would you do 40? - It's only going to be 45.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- It seems like it's a good price, yeah?- Go on, then.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- OK, we'll do that, 45.- Well done, 45.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15- Thank you very much. - It's a pleasure.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Finally, Blues - one item bagged!
0:11:20 > 0:11:22They don't seem to agree on much,
0:11:22 > 0:11:26erm, which...is not necessarily that helpful!
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Erm, half an hour gone, one item bought -
0:11:29 > 0:11:32I mean, we've got 30 minutes, I'm sure we'll be fine,
0:11:32 > 0:11:34but we'll be buying... I...I pretty much think
0:11:34 > 0:11:36we'll be buying something at the last minute.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38That chair...
0:11:38 > 0:11:40I've seen something that you might like, Charlie...
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Now, what's getting Keith all excited?
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- Let's go and have a look. - How on earth has he already
0:11:45 > 0:11:47summed up my tastes? Ha-ha-ha!
0:11:47 > 0:11:49A Stilton dish! Isn't that splendid?!
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- Charlie does love a bit of cheese. - How much?
0:11:52 > 0:11:54- 39.- Ooh!
0:11:54 > 0:11:58It's very Victorian-looking. It's probably 1910, I would have thought.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- It says...- What does it say? - It says 19th century.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Well, OK, we'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
0:12:04 > 0:12:05I've looked at the condition of it -
0:12:05 > 0:12:07there doesn't seem to be much chipping.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09It's very handsome, isn't it?
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- It's a transfer print, it's not hand-painted.- No, no.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- You like this, don't you, team? - I do like it,
0:12:14 > 0:12:18- because I like Stilton. I know you love Stilton...- I love Stilton.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21And it gives us plenty of time to find the ultimate, erm, purchase.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25Can we try £20, or is that just being downright rude?
0:12:25 > 0:12:27- Do tell me if I'm being rude. - Ooh, I wouldn't like to say.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29- Shall I ask for the best price, would that...?- Yeah.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32So, where are those Blues off to?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48There's pigs.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- Pigs?!- She likes pigs.
0:12:51 > 0:12:52Oh, really?
0:12:52 > 0:12:54- And penguins.- And monkeys.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56- Pigs and penguins.- And monkeys. - Got a little pig here.
0:12:56 > 0:13:01- Yes, green one.- It's a Wemyss one - quite a famous Scottish pottery.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- It's £400. - Yeah, I don't like him that much.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05Oh, OK!
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Now, how are those Reds getting on with the Stilton dish?
0:13:08 > 0:13:11- Well, much as expected, really... - Yeah.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13- ..I asked her for the best price... - Yes.- ..and she said 30,
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- as it's 39.- And I asked, could she do any better,
0:13:16 > 0:13:20because the gentleman was offering 20, and she couldn't really,
0:13:20 > 0:13:22- but she...28 was the best... - Oh, that's...
0:13:22 > 0:13:24- I'm happy with that. - You're happy with that?- Yes.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26- Yes, happy with that. - Perfectly happy.- Splendid.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29That's really kind of you. I hope they don't feel
0:13:29 > 0:13:30their arm's been too twisted.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33- They're kind of used to us doing that now!- Are they?- Yes!
0:13:33 > 0:13:35They're used to horrible people like me!
0:13:35 > 0:13:37- Well, that's good. - Well done, you two.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39- You really like that, don't you? - I do, yes.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- Happy with that.- We don't have to buy things we like,
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- but we both do, and we think it's in the right price range.- That's fine.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48I have to say, due to your forthright behaviour,
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- we've been going just about half an hour...- Yes.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53- ..and we're spending about a pound a minute.- That's the stuff!
0:13:53 > 0:13:55- Well, that's...- Can we do better?!
0:13:55 > 0:13:59- I think we should try. - Come on.- Must do better.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Find something for a couple of hundred quid. Get me excited...!
0:14:02 > 0:14:04So, while the Reds go off to spend big,
0:14:04 > 0:14:06the Blues are trying to avoid that.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08£10.75!
0:14:08 > 0:14:10£10.75?!
0:14:10 > 0:14:14That means you've still got over £250 left, Blues!
0:14:14 > 0:14:15- £10 isn't a lot of money...- No.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18..and you're appealing to other people to like them,
0:14:18 > 0:14:20- and be willing to pay a tenner. - Go for something else?- Well,
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- you might do.- Yeah. - It's a fairly safe bet
0:14:23 > 0:14:26that you probably won't make much of a loss!
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- Yeah, yeah!- You might make a little bit of a profit!
0:14:29 > 0:14:31- Have you found a bargain? - Three brass pigs for £10!
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- You love pigs, don't you? - There must be some more pigs.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37We can definitely find a pig. Think... Bear that in mind...
0:14:37 > 0:14:39- Yeah, I like that. - Let's find another pig,
0:14:39 > 0:14:42let's up the ante a little bit. I mean, you never know,
0:14:42 > 0:14:44that Wemyss one they might come down a little bit on.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Yeah, and it might fly, too!
0:14:46 > 0:14:49I'm waiting for that one thing, that...I come across.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Yeah, but you haven't found it, we're running out of time.
0:14:52 > 0:14:53- Yeah, I know.- 20 minutes left.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57I think we're happy with the items that we've bought so far,
0:14:57 > 0:15:00but, erm, I do feel that we ought now to...
0:15:00 > 0:15:02to spend a bit - you know, splash out a bit.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04That's the idea, Sue!
0:15:08 > 0:15:10- Charlie, we've found another cheap item.- No...
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- Oh, for goodness' sake!- Now, what has Keith spotted this time?
0:15:13 > 0:15:15- A what?- A £10 clock!
0:15:15 > 0:15:17No, it's brand-new, reproduction...
0:15:17 > 0:15:20- Don't buy it!- For £10...!
0:15:20 > 0:15:22No, I don't care if it's a pound,
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Keith, I'm banning you from buying that.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26You tell him, Charlie!
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Now, I wonder if the Blues will splash out...?
0:15:29 > 0:15:33..in the, er, railway carriage-type box.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36- This is going to be really expensive, isn't it?- It's going to be wonderful.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39£995.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- SIMON WHISTLES - Wow! that's way over budget!
0:15:42 > 0:15:44It's one extreme to the other with you lot!
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Meanwhile, the Reds are eyeing up some vases.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Do you like Bohemian glass?
0:15:55 > 0:15:58- 55...- It's a huge amount of work for the money, isn't it?
0:15:58 > 0:16:01- Yes, it is. - Sue and I rather like that...
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- Ruby Flash.- Lovely, isn't it? - It's a lovely object,
0:16:04 > 0:16:08it really is, and I think we've almost got Keith's approval of that,
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- haven't we, Sue?- Well, I like the look of it, I don't like the price!
0:16:11 > 0:16:13- THEY LAUGH - Oh, Keith!
0:16:13 > 0:16:15- It's very modest!- There we go.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- You hold it. I'll take the top off. - You take the top off.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Run your finger round the rim.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25- OK?- I haven't cut my finger, so that's all right.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27And then hold it up...
0:16:27 > 0:16:29and look at the rim.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34Do you think it may have been cut down?
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Something to look for. Sometimes you get a bit of chipping,
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- and the easy way is to cut it. - No, it's...
0:16:39 > 0:16:42- it's chamfered around the edges. - Yep, that's splendid.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44- But I don't think it's modern. - Right.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48- What do you think?- Are we in the sort of area where...?
0:16:49 > 0:16:52It's not really my field, I have to say.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56- I would love to try £35... - OK, we'll give it a try.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59- That's really kind, thank you very much indeed.- OK.- Thank you.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03Now, the Blues need to find something within the budget.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Is it a cocktail shaker? No, it's a jug.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- Has it got a price?- £1,350.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Crikey! We only have £300, remember?
0:17:10 > 0:17:14Now, how are the Reds getting on with their Bohemian vase?
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Well, first of all she said she'd take 45 for it
0:17:17 > 0:17:20and then I pushed her a little bit more
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- and she said she would take 40 for it.- Well done.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26- We're happy with that. - I think that's very, very nice.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Job's done then, Reds.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30The Blues, however, still have a long way to go.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34Right, we have nine minutes left, which is not a lot.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36We've bought one item.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39We do need to consider what we've seen already now.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- We could get those brass pigs. - OK, cool. Yeah.- Yeah?
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- They were, like, £10, weren't they? - I think we should do that right now.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47That's one down.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50That's two items, we've still got to find another thing.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Do you know, I've never been this stressed doing this before.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Come on, JP. Chop chop, old fruit.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59- Right, are we going to go for these, then?- Yes.- OK.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02A little bit damaged, but I don't think we've got time to mess around.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Let's go.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06We can get them half price.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Can we deal with you rather than going back to the thing?
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Would you take eight?
0:18:19 > 0:18:24- Why not?- Yay! - To save you working hard.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26- Thank you very much. - Quick haggling!
0:18:26 > 0:18:28But still one more item to find, Blues.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31You've got no back-ups and only five minutes left.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34On the other hand, the Reds are feeling rather pleased with themselves.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Well, three items bought and I haven't really sensed
0:18:37 > 0:18:39a sniff of an argument between the two of you.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42It's amazing. I don't really know how that happened,
0:18:42 > 0:18:45but it does seem to have happened.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47We tend to argue to wind other people up,
0:18:47 > 0:18:50but we're actually quite good friends.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53We've been married now for 40 years this June.
0:18:53 > 0:18:54- Well, congratulations.- Thank you.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57That's my reason for buying you a cup of tea. Come on.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00- Absolutely, thank you. - Or perhaps a glass of wine?
0:19:00 > 0:19:04No such rest for the Blues, though. Time's running out.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Right, let's go. Do you want to go over the road again
0:19:07 > 0:19:09or do want to go right down the far end?
0:19:09 > 0:19:12- Right down the far end. - The far end? Oh, my God.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16I told you I don't do running.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24What can you see? What can you see?
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Come on, Blues. Focus.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- An old flake cigarette... Wills Cigarette mirror.- Gold Flake.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34Bit of advertising, bit of retro.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- Useful. Cigarette brand. - Not too bad.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40And the lady standing behind us. We have three minutes now.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41Shall we negotiate now?
0:19:41 > 0:19:44We might be able to get a deal on it. Let's see what we can do.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46- OK, will do.- Off you go.
0:19:48 > 0:19:53- This is the hardest... Go on. - She said she'll do £22.- £22.- 22, OK.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- What do you think?- I'd pay that.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02- Decide.- Shall we do it?- Yes.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05- You have a minute. - Yeah.- 60-second deal. Yes.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09- Yeah, we haven't got any choice. - OK, done. Done, done, done.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13- I can relax now. - Close shave there, Blues.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17Time's up. Now, let's see what the Red team bought.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20They didn't blow their budget on that copper hunting horn,
0:20:20 > 0:20:23which only cost them a measly six pounds.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27The Victorian stilton dish was very much to their taste at £28.
0:20:27 > 0:20:32But was the Edwardian bohemian vase a steal at £40?
0:20:32 > 0:20:35- Now, Keith, Sue. Have you had a good time?- We had a great time.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39You spent a miserable amount of money. What actually was the total?
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- £74.- That is shocking, isn't it? On three items.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45We give you £300 and you only spend 74.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49- We relaxed on the last item on Charlie's advice.- Oh, did you? Good.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51So which is your favourite piece, Sue?
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- I like the horn best. - You like the horn best.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56And do you agree with that, Keith?
0:20:56 > 0:20:59No, I think I actually like the bit of Bohemian glass best,
0:20:59 > 0:21:02but I think the thing that will make the most profit is probably the horn.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- And do you think the horn...? - I think so, yes.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08OK, we've all got the horn. Lovely, we've got the horn message, good.
0:21:08 > 0:21:13So who has got this monumental tidal wave of leftover lolly?
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Sue's got that. Thank you.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19And I don't think I have ever had to hand over
0:21:19 > 0:21:21quite so much leftover money.
0:21:21 > 0:21:22Charles, you'll be able to go
0:21:22 > 0:21:25and buy the entire arcade, I'd say, with that.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27I'm going to spend every last penny.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Good.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- Go on, do it!- Go for it!
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:21:35 > 0:21:38They paid £45 for the 20th-century French compass.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Carly was thrilled with her three little piggies,
0:21:43 > 0:21:45which cost them £8 each.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Oink.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48But at the very last minute
0:21:48 > 0:21:51they handed over £22 for this advertising mirror.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- Hello, Tim.- That was a bit of a sweat, wasn't it?
0:21:54 > 0:21:56- It was a little bit, yeah. - Now, did you have a good time?
0:21:56 > 0:21:59- Yes, a very good time.- You didn't spend much, though, did you?
0:22:00 > 0:22:02- No.- 75 quid.- £75.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04- Is that all?- It's rubbish.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06- That's ridiculous, isn't it? - We tried to spend more.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09What is this auction housing going to have to say about this lot?
0:22:09 > 0:22:13Anyway, good. So £75, I'd like £225 of leftover lolly, please.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Thank you very much, Carly.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Now, by the way, darling, which is your favourite piece?
0:22:17 > 0:22:20I like the pigs, the brass pigs.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23The brass pigs? And you don't agree with that, do you, Simon?
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- No, I'm more of a technical man. I like the compass.- The compass?
0:22:26 > 0:22:28- Is that going to bring the biggest profit?- Probably not, no.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31- What will bring the biggest profit? - I have no idea!- The pigs.- The pigs.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33She's determined about these pigs.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- Anyway, pigs or not, here's £225. - Thank you very much.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38That's a great wodge for you, isn't it?
0:22:38 > 0:22:40It's quite a responsibility, I think, isn't it?
0:22:40 > 0:22:42What he going to spend it on, Jonathan?
0:22:42 > 0:22:44They like pigs, they like scientific instruments,
0:22:44 > 0:22:47I might try and buy some sort of scientific pig or something.
0:22:47 > 0:22:48What a weird thought is that.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Anyway, we're heading off somewhere divine.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53In fact, we are going to a house called The Vyne,
0:22:53 > 0:22:55which is near Basingstoke in Hampshire.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08This is The Vyne in Hampshire, a beautiful 16th-century house
0:23:08 > 0:23:12that's undergone significant changes since it was first built.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17What we see today is only a fragment of a much larger Tudor house
0:23:17 > 0:23:21created by William, first Lord Sandys,
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Lord Chamberlain to Henry VIII.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27The estate was later owned by the Chute family from 1653
0:23:27 > 0:23:31until recent times and it houses a wonderful collection of treasures.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39If you wanted to record something accurately
0:23:39 > 0:23:42before the days of photography,
0:23:42 > 0:23:47your only option was to paint it or draw it.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Wiggett Chute, who moved here in the 1840s,
0:23:50 > 0:23:55wanted the place to be, as much as possible, a family home.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58His wife, Martha, was an amateur artist
0:23:58 > 0:24:01and what we've got here is a watercolour that she painted
0:24:01 > 0:24:05of the arrangement of the room in about 1860.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09And it remains remarkably similar.
0:24:09 > 0:24:15The piano, which at that time was by the window, is now situated here.
0:24:15 > 0:24:21It's a rosewood-cased Broadwood repetitive patent piano,
0:24:21 > 0:24:26which at the time was the absolute Rolls-Royce of pianos.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Other features in the room that we can see in the water colour
0:24:29 > 0:24:34include this gorgeous white marble fireplace surround.
0:24:34 > 0:24:39As so often happens, with the focal point in the room about a fireplace,
0:24:39 > 0:24:46you find hanging above it the most important painting in the room.
0:24:46 > 0:24:52And what a cracker it is. This is a landscape overmantle painting.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55That means it's long and rectangular,
0:24:55 > 0:24:58it's by Johann Heinrich Muntz,
0:24:58 > 0:25:04and strangely enough he stayed here for six months in 1755,
0:25:04 > 0:25:08so there is every chance that he painted this picture
0:25:08 > 0:25:10for this particular location.
0:25:10 > 0:25:16What I love about it is that it is so much a grand tour picture,
0:25:16 > 0:25:20a fantasy view of the Coliseum.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23In the foreground we've got these peasants
0:25:23 > 0:25:25wandering along with their goats and donkeys
0:25:25 > 0:25:30having a bit of a chat by a ruin, but this is a fantasy.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32It's not a real view,
0:25:32 > 0:25:37it simply sums up a lovely warm Italian afternoon,
0:25:37 > 0:25:40just the job to jolly you up
0:25:40 > 0:25:44on a wet, grey, cold Hampshire morning.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48Next door to the fireplace we've got a piece of furniture.
0:25:48 > 0:25:49Look at the watercolour,
0:25:49 > 0:25:52what does the piece of furniture look like in the watercolour?
0:25:52 > 0:25:56A Chinese export work table, which is what we've got here.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00Except that in those days it had a red silk bag,
0:26:00 > 0:26:03not a dirty brown one, which is what we've got today.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08And to complete the picture, literally,
0:26:08 > 0:26:12there is another drawing of the room, again by Martha,
0:26:12 > 0:26:16showing it from this end in the opposite perspective.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18And on the end wall
0:26:18 > 0:26:23there's a balding gentleman shown in a portrait, which is still here,
0:26:23 > 0:26:26and a gentleman that looks exactly like him
0:26:26 > 0:26:29seated in front of the fire -
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Our Wiggett Chute.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35The big question today is, of course,
0:26:35 > 0:26:37for our teams over at the auction.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41Are they going to eat, "chute" and leave with a big profit?
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Well, I can't tell you how gorgeous it is
0:26:58 > 0:27:00to be in West London Chiswick Auction Rooms
0:27:00 > 0:27:03with the boss, Tom Keane. Thomas, how are you?
0:27:03 > 0:27:05- Not bad, Tim, how're you? - Smashing to see you.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09- You too.- Now, are we going to have a stellar day today, do you think?
0:27:09 > 0:27:11I think you're going to struggle. I think you're going to struggle.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Do you?
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Yeah, I'm forever the optimist and my glass is usually half full,
0:27:16 > 0:27:18but you've got a few boo-boos here, I think.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21All right then, well, let's find out where we're at.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Keith and Sue, first up is that hunting horn.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25- That brand Harry spankers, isn't it?- Yes, it is.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28I mean, Birmingham, maybe 1950, 1960, 1970?
0:27:28 > 0:27:3270, 80, I would have thought. Not very valuable.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36- They paid a six pound note for it. - Oh, they'll be all right.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40- We've estimated it at £20 or £30. - Well, that's not too bad.
0:27:40 > 0:27:46I mean, we're not proud on Bargain Hunt. Any old pound note will do.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Next is the Stilton dish.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51And, frankly, I've seen better decorated examples.
0:27:51 > 0:27:52Do you rate that at all, Tom?
0:27:52 > 0:27:55No, I think it's a German copy, not very good. It's a bit worn.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59- Yeah, I agree with you. - 30 to 50 quid, if we're lucky.
0:27:59 > 0:28:00They only paid £28.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03I tell you, everybody's going to love these estimates, Tom.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05That's all right.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07I started off as down, I'm starting to get more excited now.
0:28:07 > 0:28:12Well, quite right. Now, Bohemian engraved flashed glass.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14There was a time when this was hot, wasn't there?
0:28:14 > 0:28:16I don't know, what's it like today?
0:28:16 > 0:28:21It's still hot, but this is being classed as Edwardian.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Unfortunately Edward was dead 100 years when that was made.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28- That's a copy.- Is it?- Yes, that's a copy. A Chinese copy.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31- No!- Definitely. The engraving's not deep enough,
0:28:31 > 0:28:35the dialism isn't good enough and it's a good Chinese copy.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38So somebody's taken the late Victorian one out to China
0:28:38 > 0:28:39- and they've done a job on it? - Yes, yeah.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Does that mean there's a container full of these things
0:28:42 > 0:28:44- wandering around? - Oh, yeah, I've seen loads of them.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46- I've seen loads of them, yeah. - Oh, Lordy.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48Anyway, we paid £40. What's your estimate?
0:28:48 > 0:28:51Funnily enough, £40-£60. But had it have been real
0:28:51 > 0:28:55- it would have been at least £200 or 300, wouldn't it?- Yes, that's true.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58- I suppose the price was the warning sign.- I suppose so.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01Well, despite you being a bit pooey about what they've got,
0:29:01 > 0:29:04on current estimates they're not going to do too bad
0:29:04 > 0:29:07and on that basis they are not going to need their bonus buy,
0:29:07 > 0:29:09but let's go and have a look at it anyway, eh?
0:29:09 > 0:29:12So, team, this is exciting, isn't it?
0:29:12 > 0:29:15Sue, you only spent 74 miserable little pounds.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19£226 went to Carlos. Carlos, what did you spend it on?
0:29:19 > 0:29:24I spent it on a piece of...silver.
0:29:24 > 0:29:25- Hmm.- Oh.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28- Well, that was a positive response. - It's a very pretty piece of silver.
0:29:28 > 0:29:33It is. It is. It's Edwardian.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36I'm struggling a bit with the catalogue description.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39They've described it as a Russian drinking vessel.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43Well, it looks more like a gondola to me, but there we are.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45- It's a little sweetmeat dish... - Bonbon dish.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49Bonbon dish, it might sell well privately, I thought.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51Do you like it? I like the form of it, I like the shape of it.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53I like it too. What do you think?
0:29:53 > 0:29:55It's a very pretty. I knew you'd like it.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57It cost £105.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59- I was going to say 110.- Were you?
0:29:59 > 0:30:02- Well, there's a profit. - I was going to say 60 to 80.
0:30:02 > 0:30:0460 to 80, yes,
0:30:04 > 0:30:06I think that's probably what the auctioneers have said.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08Anyway, my case rests, your honour.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10For the audience at home,
0:30:10 > 0:30:13let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about...it.
0:30:15 > 0:30:20So, Thomas Keane, there is a staple of your sale room, I guess.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Yes, at the moment silver is doing very, very well.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Unfortunately, most of it's getting melted.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26I wouldn't like to think this would be melted.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28It's quite nice and not really a lot of weight in it, is there?
0:30:28 > 0:30:31- It's like a boat, isn't it? - Yes, I think we've put it
0:30:31 > 0:30:34as a Russian kovsh in some sort of way as well.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37- Oh, right? That's a good idea. - But either or.
0:30:37 > 0:30:42About £60 or £90. But with silver it goes up and down.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45- Hopefully it will do all right. - That is it for the Reds.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47Now for the Blues. So, Tom.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50You rarely lose your way so you don't need one of these, do you?
0:30:50 > 0:30:54No, I've got sat-nav.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Who's going to buy that compass here in landlocked Chiswick?
0:30:57 > 0:30:58Well, we're not too landlocked.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01We've got a big river environment down the road, haven't we?
0:31:01 > 0:31:03- Oh, that would be the Thames. - That would be the Thames, yes.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05And the canals, the Grand Union at Brentford,
0:31:05 > 0:31:07so we've got quite a few boat-dwellers
0:31:07 > 0:31:10that come in and out of here. One just left a moment ago.
0:31:10 > 0:31:11It will sell.
0:31:11 > 0:31:15It'll make £40-£60, 70 on a good day, but that's a lot of money.
0:31:15 > 0:31:19- Well, that's very good because they paid £45.- On the money, not too bad.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22Now, we've got three little piggies coming into market here.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25They look a bit down on their trotters to me.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28- Why did they buy these?- I don't know.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31There's no weight to them either, is there, really?
0:31:31 > 0:31:34Brass, scrap metal is going up in price and they'll probably
0:31:34 > 0:31:37weigh in at 15 quid, so 20 quid is quite a lot to ask.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40Isn't it a terrible way to look at these and think,
0:31:40 > 0:31:41"What's it going to weigh?"
0:31:41 > 0:31:44We think that all the time about silver, but brass?!
0:31:44 > 0:31:47Nonferrous metals are going up a lot. China's got a massive demand
0:31:47 > 0:31:49and we are starting to weigh things like this
0:31:49 > 0:31:51because there's no real artistic value to them,
0:31:51 > 0:31:54unless we get a pig farmer in who's a bit sentimental,
0:31:54 > 0:31:56- we've got half a chance. - What are you saying?
0:31:56 > 0:32:00- £20-£30, tongue in cheek.- £8 paid. That's what you call a bargain.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02- And a profit made. - Well, there you go.
0:32:02 > 0:32:06It's good, isn't it? Now, what about the Wills Flake advertising mirror?
0:32:06 > 0:32:09- Looks a bit flaky to me. - It's a bit distressed.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11It's an earlier one that's got thick gauge glass to it,
0:32:11 > 0:32:14but do you know what? It's a bit knackered, isn't it?
0:32:14 > 0:32:17OK, come on, Thomas Keane. Give us an estimate.
0:32:17 > 0:32:18£25-£40.
0:32:18 > 0:32:23Excellent. £22 paid. There you go. There's three more profits.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26- In the margins, we're in the margins. - We are in the margins.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28All right, lovely. Exciting stuff.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30It could go either way, in which case they are going to need
0:32:30 > 0:32:33their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Now, Carly and Simon. Leftover lolly.
0:32:35 > 0:32:39You only spent in miserable 75, you gave 225 to our man, JP.
0:32:39 > 0:32:43- What did you buy, Jonathan? - I bought you...a wine glass.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45- Right.- OK.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49Not a simple wine glass - it is an 18th-century English wine glass,
0:32:49 > 0:32:51from the latter part of the 18th century,
0:32:51 > 0:32:54so it's hand made at a period when wine was...
0:32:54 > 0:32:57Not wine, ale, was drank in a far more,
0:32:57 > 0:33:02sort of, concentrated form, so this would have packed a real punch.
0:33:02 > 0:33:06- You've got to handle it all right? Don't be nervous of it.- Not bad.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08It's pretty.
0:33:08 > 0:33:13I think what you've got to twig, Carly, is that that stem,
0:33:13 > 0:33:15that twisty bit in there,
0:33:15 > 0:33:18is a little piece of a piece of opaque glass
0:33:18 > 0:33:21frozen inside a rod of glass, which I think I'm right, JP,
0:33:21 > 0:33:23in saying that's what makes it unusual.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25It's a terribly difficult thing to do.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29That's got some rarity to it and it is in A1 order, isn't it?
0:33:29 > 0:33:32- Yeah, absolutely. - Well, it is at the moment anyway.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35On that happy note, hand it back to JP quick.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39And for the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer
0:33:39 > 0:33:41thinks about Jonathan's little glass.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Fancy having your ale in one of those.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47It would make your toes curl, wouldn't it? So strong.
0:33:47 > 0:33:4918th century.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52The most common model about and I like the air twist stem,
0:33:52 > 0:33:53it's got a nice base to it. It's OK,
0:33:53 > 0:33:56there are some good collectors of glass that come in here.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59These spiral twist jobs, if they get a bit of colour in them
0:33:59 > 0:34:03then you really start talking about some money, don't you?
0:34:03 > 0:34:08Yes, but like I say this is the most common example you can get, and...
0:34:08 > 0:34:11£50 or £80. If we're really lucky, 100 quid,
0:34:11 > 0:34:14but £50-£80 is a dead cert Bert.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17Well, that's going to be disappointing to Jonathan Pratt
0:34:17 > 0:34:21because he paid £180, but what's really interesting here
0:34:21 > 0:34:26is we have two extremely low auction estimates on our bonus buys
0:34:26 > 0:34:29and if these kids go with the bonus buy,
0:34:29 > 0:34:33in each case they could be in deep trouble. Ooh-ah.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35So, Tom, are you taking the sale today?
0:34:35 > 0:34:38- I'll be taking it all for you. - Lovely, we're in safe hands.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48- You should get a profit on each item.- Wow.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52- Do you feel better about that?- I do indeed.- Well, I'm glad to hear that.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54- Thank you for that. - Anyway, you only risked £74.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58- That's not too bad, is it?- And that strategy may well pay off today.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01We shall see, but if all else fails
0:35:01 > 0:35:04you've got the lovely Rossa Silver bowl
0:35:04 > 0:35:06to fall back on if you need to.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08Anyway, first up is the hunting horn.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11Decorative, copper and brass post horn or hunting horn.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14£20 for it. £10 for it.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17Bid at ten. Give me 12. At £10. Give me 12. At £10.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20- You're in profit.- At £10. Bid at ten. The only hunter in the room.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23Give me ten. You want 12 over there? At 12. Do you want 14?
0:35:23 > 0:35:2414. 16.
0:35:24 > 0:35:2616 bid. You want 18. 18.
0:35:26 > 0:35:2820. Bid at 18. Give me 20. At £18.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32Give me 20. Going. £18. First. Last...
0:35:32 > 0:35:35Well done. That is plus £12.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37- Feel pleased with yourself, do you?- Keith, you found it.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40- I found it.- You translated it into cash. Well done.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43- Now, the stilton dish.- £30 for it.
0:35:43 > 0:35:44£20 for it.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47- £10 for it.- 28 paid.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Give me £10 for it, please. £10 for it. £10 for it.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51I'm begging for £10. £5 for it.
0:35:51 > 0:35:52£5 for it.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54I had my misgivings about it.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56You wouldn't buy any cheaper stilton, madam.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58I'm bid at six. Do you want seven?
0:35:58 > 0:36:01- I was desperate to be thinking about it.- You weren't.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03At £7. Give me eight. Bid at seven. At £7.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05This is no money, is it?
0:36:05 > 0:36:09- A new bidder at £8.- Costs more to fill it up with cheese!
0:36:09 > 0:36:12At £8. Give me nine for it. Going at £8. Going.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14I don't believe it. £8 is minus 20
0:36:14 > 0:36:16- which means overall you're minus eight.- Oh, dear.
0:36:16 > 0:36:20- Now, stand by for the ruby glass. - Not a bad decorative lump.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23- £40 for it.- Decorative lump! Nicely described.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25Give me £20. At £20. Give me 22.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29At £20. At £20. 22. 25.
0:36:29 > 0:36:3028. 28.
0:36:30 > 0:36:3230. 32.
0:36:32 > 0:36:3335. 38.
0:36:33 > 0:36:3640. 42. At £40. Bid at 40.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39Bid's there at £40. At £40. You've got to try at £40.
0:36:39 > 0:36:4241 one over there if you like. At £40. At £40. Your bid at £40.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44That's the money at £40. Going to go at £40.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47£40 wiped its face. Well done. No profit, no loss. No pain, no gain.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51- That's very nice.- Right. - Overall, you're minus £8.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54What are you going to do about the silver dish?
0:36:54 > 0:36:57- We both liked it very much but... - But.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59..I think in today's market and looking at this auction room,
0:36:59 > 0:37:02- I'm having my doubts.- What, you think they won't bid the £105?
0:37:02 > 0:37:05- I don't think they'll bid £105.- OK.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07We're going to sell it anyway, so let's see what happens. Here we go.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10A hallmarked silver sweetmeat dish.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13- Looks like a couple of hundred quid's worth to me.- £40 for it.
0:37:13 > 0:37:17Bid at £40. At £40. Give me 42. At £40. Take 42. At £40. Take two. 42.
0:37:17 > 0:37:1945. 48. 50.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22At £48. Is that it at £48? Take 50. At £48.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26- Give me 50, please. At £48.- Don't like the look of this, Charlie.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29- Thank goodness you didn't go with it.- You've got it on your face now.
0:37:29 > 0:37:33- Yes, all over my face.- Never mind. Never mind. It's still very pretty.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36Bid here at £50. At £50. 55. Thank you. 60.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39- Oh! It's going again.- It's going. - Bid in front of me at £60.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42Going to get a bargain. At £60. Give me 65. Take five. Going at £60.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45Gone for £60 then.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48£60 is minus £45.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50But you didn't go with it. You parked your score.
0:37:50 > 0:37:54Your score is minus £8 which could be, who knows,
0:37:54 > 0:37:57a winning score today. Well done.
0:38:02 > 0:38:06Now, Carly, Simon, have you been talking to those naughty Reds?
0:38:06 > 0:38:11- No.- No.- They have years of experience on their side, you know?- Yes.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13Yes, they sure do.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15Anyway, your first item is the compass and here it comes.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18Start me at £50 for it. £50 for it.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20£30 for it. I'm bid at £30. £30.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22Give me 32. At £30.
0:38:22 > 0:38:2332. 32. 35.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26- Somebody's on it.- Give me 38.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28- 35.- Come on. Come on.- At £35. That's the money so far. At 35.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31- It needs a nudge.- Take 38. At £35.

0:41:19 > 0:41:23Bad luck you didn't pick it, but don't worry, you still got your £24,
0:41:23 > 0:41:25all nicely ring-fenced.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28The big thing is, will that be a winning score today or not?
0:41:28 > 0:41:29We'll find out in just a moment.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32- Don't say a word to the Reds. - No.- No.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39Well, I'm afraid it's really, really, really, really bad news
0:41:39 > 0:41:44- for one team today and that team just happen to be the Reds.- Oh.
0:41:44 > 0:41:49Minus £8 is the score which is not so hot, really.
0:41:49 > 0:41:53It could have been a lot worse if you'd gone with the bonus buy.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56But as it was, you didn't go with the bonus buy,
0:41:56 > 0:41:59- so it's just minus £8. But I hope you've had a nice time. - We have enjoyed it.
0:41:59 > 0:42:04We've loved having you on the show. And thank you very much for taking part. Bad luck, Charlie.
0:42:04 > 0:42:09Now, moving on to the winners who go home with £24 today,
0:42:09 > 0:42:1324 whole pounds, Carly and Simon. This is just so fab, isn't it?
0:42:13 > 0:42:18Largely thanks to your advertising sign which is really cool.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20There we go. There's your £24.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23You could, however, had you trusted JP,
0:42:23 > 0:42:26be taking home an additional 40 smackers.
0:42:26 > 0:42:30Except you rejected him cos you didn't think...
0:42:30 > 0:42:33- No, Simon rejected him. - Ah, Simon rejected him.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37There'll be pillow talk when you get home. Anyway, there we are.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39Bad luck for not having the full score, but nevertheless,
0:42:39 > 0:42:44winning £24 on this programme, as we know, is a considerable achievement.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Well done, JP, for spotting the glass.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49Anyway, have we had a nice time? Yes, we have.
0:42:49 > 0:42:54In fact, so nice join is soon for some more bargain-hunting. Yes? Yes!
