0:00:05 > 0:00:07We've come to Lincolnshire,
0:00:07 > 0:00:10the place to come to view want to get your hands on a decent
0:00:10 > 0:00:13sausage, but it is not all bangers we are here to look for.
0:00:13 > 0:00:17Oh, no, because we have come... bargain hunting, yeah!
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Today, we are in the bustling market town of Horncastle,
0:00:45 > 0:00:49which became a settlement after the invasion of the Romans.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Today, our teams are planning to plunder the local
0:00:53 > 0:00:56abundance of antique shops. So, standby.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Today, the Blues tell a cock and bull story,
0:01:00 > 0:01:02quite literally.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Any mo...any moooovement?
0:01:05 > 0:01:09While the Reds' lack of urgency pushes their expert to the edge.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Never before have I never bought three items,
0:01:12 > 0:01:14but this might be a problem.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17It looks like it is going to be a long day,
0:01:17 > 0:01:20so let's get it underway and go and meet the teams.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Well, we've got girl and boy teams today.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27For the Reds, we've got Andrea and Robert. And for the Blues,
0:01:27 > 0:01:29we've got Jill and Phil.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31- Hi, everybody. - ALL: Hello.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35Andrea, I understand you met Robert on public transport.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37- I certainly did, Tim. - What's that all about?
0:01:37 > 0:01:41Well, I was 14 at the time and Robert was 16.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46We met as I was travelling upon the number 16 bus home from school.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48- That's, what, 35 years ago?- Yep.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51- You have been together for 35 years? - We have been married for 35 years.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54There we go, that is brilliant. And what do you do now, Andrea?
0:01:54 > 0:01:56I am a part-time teacher.
0:01:56 > 0:02:01So, I teach right from year one children, small children,
0:02:01 > 0:02:02right up to year ten.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- And is it quite fun doing that work? - It is, it's fantastic.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06It's absolutely really rewarding.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09- So, you love your job? - I absolutely love my job.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11- It says here, Robert, you love your job.- I do.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- Which is what? - Head green keeper at a golf club.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- Which golf club? - Hickleton Golf Club in Doncaster.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- Ah, right. How long have you worked there for?- 17 years.- Have you?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22And are those wealthy golfers all
0:02:22 > 0:02:26- duly grateful for all the hard work you put in?- Some are.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29You mark their card, I hope. Brilliant.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32And you are interested in driving your caravan around Canada
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- and New Zealand.- Definitely.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Are you going to fund this out of your winnings on Bargain Hunt today?
0:02:37 > 0:02:41- Yes.- Highly unlikely. Highly unlikely.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43- Tongue-in-cheek. - Well, you never know.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47You never know, you might get enough for a couple of tanks of gas.
0:02:47 > 0:02:48If we're lucky.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52- If you're lucky. Well, we shall see. Anyway, good luck.- Thank you.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55So, Jill, you're friends, but how did you meet?
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Phil is my daughter's partner.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01And father to my beautiful little grandsons.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03This is a nice combination, the mother-in-law
0:03:03 > 0:03:05and the son-in-law being best mates.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08What did you think about him the first time you saw him, Jill?
0:03:08 > 0:03:13Big. No, no, we got on straightaway, really, didn't we?
0:03:13 > 0:03:16I'm brought flowers and chocolates and possibly a bottle of wine.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Well, never mind the girlfriend,
0:03:18 > 0:03:22- just butter up the mother-in-law, is that right?- Yep.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25You are a lady of leisure now, Jill, isn't that right?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Well, I've retired, but I wouldn't say I'm a lady of leisure.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30OK, what did you do when you are working?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33I worked for 30 years in the school laundry at a public school.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36And how many little kiddy-wids were there in that school?
0:03:36 > 0:03:38- Oh, over 1,000, I think.- Really?- Yes.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41So, you have retired from that now, so what did you get up to?
0:03:41 > 0:03:46Lots of things. I am chairman of our ladies' local...group.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50I knit, I sew, I look after my grandchildren, I walk.
0:03:50 > 0:03:51Gad about a bit?
0:03:51 > 0:03:53- I am a bit of a gadabout. - Yeah, I thought so.- Yes.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57- So, Phil, will you be able to keep up with Jill?- No.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59I can't keep up with Jill - Jill is very active,
0:03:59 > 0:04:01I am built for comfort, not speed.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03I will just trail behind, carry on.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07The best thing to do, mate, is to be the bag carrier, I find.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09- Just pick up all the bags. - I'll be the blocker.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11That's it, lovely.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14- It says here you are only ten years old.- This is true.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16I was born on February 29th, 1972.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- Oh, you're one of those.- So, I am a 6'3", 22-stone 10-year-old.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21You don't get a lot of them.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Have you got a plan then for beating these Reds?
0:04:24 > 0:04:28- Yeah.- Spend the lot.- You are going to spend the lot?- We thought so.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Talking about spending a lot, here is your £300. There's the cash.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34You know the rules. Your experts await. And off you go!
0:04:34 > 0:04:35And very, very, very good luck.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Right, they are going to spend the lot, let's watch them do it.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43Today, Charles Hanson answers the call of nature, I mean duty,
0:04:43 > 0:04:44to help out the Reds.
0:04:44 > 0:04:49Whilst Jonathan Pratt gets his skates on and assists the Blues.
0:04:49 > 0:04:54- What's the plan?- Probably a bit of silver, Charles.- Yes.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Jewellery, silver, little sort of snuffboxes, I suppose.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59- Shall I?- Yes.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01I like a bit of wooden stuff.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03- I can't abide writing slopes, I don't know what it is.- OK.
0:05:03 > 0:05:08- Ready to go?- Ready to go. - The hour starts. Going, going, now!
0:05:08 > 0:05:09Let's go.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12And what better place to find something precious
0:05:12 > 0:05:13than in an old church?
0:05:14 > 0:05:18- Wow!- Isn't it great seeing antiques in this old building?
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Just take it all in.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Let's hope and pray they find something precious.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26With a multitude of antique shops to pick from,
0:05:26 > 0:05:28the Blues opt for a place just down the road.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32And it seems they have got their strategy sorted, as well.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35We'll do three things, £75 each.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Jill would choose one, I will choose one,
0:05:37 > 0:05:40and then we'll argue about a team one.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42If we can get them valued 80 to 120, we might get a bit of profit.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45And then we can leave you 75 to do the same.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47And that's our 300 quid gone.
0:05:47 > 0:05:52- Is my maths all right? - Yeah, it is. Yeah, it is.- Brilliant.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54OK, well, that sounds like a plan. Half a plan.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Half a plan, that'll do. We'll work on it as we go on.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Yes. At this point in the game,
0:06:00 > 0:06:02half a plan is better than no plan at all.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Now, let's hope our Reds' game will start to motor also.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08What a gorgeous vase.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10How much is it? Have a guess, we'll test you.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12For a really good Moorcroft vase.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Oh, 250.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16250.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18345.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20To go back to wholesale into auction,
0:06:20 > 0:06:23this vase needs to be more like £200.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26So that's the margin of the big leap we have got to make to try
0:06:26 > 0:06:27and make some money.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- So, look around, see what you like.- Yep.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35Good advice, Charles, but that could prove easier said than done.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- Figurines.- No.
0:06:40 > 0:06:45I don't like silver spoons. They are a bit ordinary.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47See this? I don't know what it is,
0:06:47 > 0:06:51but there is just something about a writing slope that I just...
0:06:51 > 0:06:53I don't get. Maybe it's because I work in IT,
0:06:53 > 0:06:55nobody's still fussing... I have no idea.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59It was an important piece of kit 200 years ago.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Today, they sit on sidewalls, on side tables,
0:07:02 > 0:07:06so what people want to buy are the best examples of what you have.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09- Move on, just not me. - Yeah. Move along.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Yes, find something worth crowing about.
0:07:12 > 0:07:18It is a tea cosy for those cold winter days.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- I'll have to work on a nag. - Ha, ha!
0:07:20 > 0:07:21So, now it is time to get cracking.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Gosh, these teams really know how to take a double yolker.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30I just like this. I like the handle at the top.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Yeah, I do because it is very Art Nouveau, isn't it?
0:07:33 > 0:07:36The handle is so freeform, like organic.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Hold on. Rewind.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Let's see that again. What did he say?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44The handle is so freeform, like organic.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Ooh-ah, Charles.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48I love this design here.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53This design on the border, how it matches that handle. Can't you see?
0:07:53 > 0:07:56It has always been together. This would be a biscuit barrel.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59And on the bottom, with an old patent number here,
0:07:59 > 0:08:03which would date it to around 1895, 1910
0:08:03 > 0:08:07at the very latest. But it is a bit boring.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11It is a bit mass-produced. And... Oops!
0:08:11 > 0:08:12Sorry about that.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16I don't believe it. Charles, don't smash it!
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Sorry about that. Sorry!
0:08:18 > 0:08:20We're OK. Thank goodness.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22It is made of metal, good.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Move away quickly, Charles. Come along, teams,
0:08:24 > 0:08:27we are 15 minutes in and no-one has bought a thing.
0:08:27 > 0:08:28Smashing.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31We can go somewhere else, there is another place,
0:08:31 > 0:08:33but I would say we need to buy something here,
0:08:33 > 0:08:36because we've got to get three items in our hour.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- OK.- Right.- So, we'll do that. - Let's go around and have a look.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Less looking and more buying, methinks.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Perhaps a bit of silver might get our Reds off the mark.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47I quite like these here.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49They are quite sweet because they are not overly odd.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51They are hallmarked in full.
0:08:51 > 0:08:56And their hallmark is for Birmingham.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58They're probably 1980s, but they're quite stylish.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- They are.- So, they're quite good.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04And there's so good I'm going to ask how much they are.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08- OK.- Yeah.- Hello, sir, we're just admiring your nice boxes.
0:09:08 > 0:09:13And I wondered how much they would be for a threesome?
0:09:13 > 0:09:16The very best I could do on these is 102 for the three.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20- Look at me, how much?- 102.- There we are, there is no discount there.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22£102.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Response, anyone?
0:09:26 > 0:09:27Are they worth that?
0:09:27 > 0:09:31I think they are, but at auction, they are a real gamble.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- They could make...- 60.- Exactly.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38Or they could make 120. Food for thought.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Charles, I think you better take charge, old boy.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43And I have spotted something that might help beat these
0:09:43 > 0:09:44Blues into action.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48So, this thing is used for beating out your laundry.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52You beat it like that, all right? This is before washing powder,
0:09:52 > 0:09:53you've got no washing powder,
0:09:53 > 0:09:57you've got a bit of an old tallow soap, which is useless.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59And to get a lather on it, you beat it like this.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04Bash it up to get the filthy stains out of your sheets.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07And then you ring it out, three or four of you down by the pond.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10You get hold of one and twist one way, I twist the other.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14And when the electric goes off and we are reduced to
0:10:14 > 0:10:18the circumstances that we might have been reduced to in the old days,
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- you'll get to be bashing out your wash.- And I'll smell.
0:10:22 > 0:10:27Anyway, happy days, eh? How much is it? £230.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31I should think that is about £160 too much,
0:10:31 > 0:10:35in my view. OK, very good. Well, happy days and good luck.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Where would they be without me? Less bruised?
0:10:38 > 0:10:39The Reds still have no buys,
0:10:39 > 0:10:42but at least they have picked up the pace... At last!
0:10:42 > 0:10:43Follow me!
0:10:43 > 0:10:47It's down here and turn left, OK?
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- Half an hour to go. - Runs everywhere, Charles.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54But if you ask me, all of this is turning into a bit of a comedy act.
0:10:54 > 0:10:55- # Bring me fun... # - Come on!
0:10:55 > 0:10:59# Bring me sunshine Bring me love! #
0:10:59 > 0:11:01In here, go on. In you go.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Meanwhile, back at the ranch.
0:11:06 > 0:11:12- They're cast-iron bull's heads for, it says, gateposts.- Oh!
0:11:12 > 0:11:15But I'm sure it you could find some other way of using them.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18But, you know, they are just... they're good novelty objects.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22They are going to be 150 years old.
0:11:22 > 0:11:23That's really heavy.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27They have fittings, and it wouldn't be too difficult to make some...
0:11:27 > 0:11:29- Stick them on the wall.- Yeah. Exactly.- I quite like them.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32You wouldn't run off very far with these, would you?
0:11:32 > 0:11:34No. You'd have to try and reuse them as something.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- What you would use them for? - I just haven't seen them before.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41- And they are asking 120 and 70. - 190 for the pair.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Yeah. If you could get them for 120 for the pair,
0:11:43 > 0:11:46I reckon there could possibly be a profit.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Well, time is a-ticking.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51So, worth taking the bull by the horns, I'd say.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54# Bull rider. #
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Now, Roberto, have you found something?
0:11:56 > 0:11:59That is quite nice. Now, what is that?
0:11:59 > 0:12:03It is marked BHA, that is German saltware-stoneware.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06Probably made in the Bavarian region.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09And it is £22. What's it worth at auction?
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- 15?- Yeah. 15.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15So I would probably say, yeah, nice vase,
0:12:15 > 0:12:18if it could be cheaper, it is maybe worth buying.
0:12:18 > 0:12:19If you never ask, you don't get,
0:12:19 > 0:12:23but what I think it's worth at auction on a really good day...
0:12:23 > 0:12:24It's worth £15.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28And for a tenner, who knows. There could be a five pound profit.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- It's your day.- Don't give a price, just ask.- Somebody might...
0:12:30 > 0:12:32It's your day.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35The vase is terrible.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38I know, Charles, what a load of...
0:12:38 > 0:12:39Moo!
0:12:39 > 0:12:42What is the best price on the bulls, collectively?
0:12:42 > 0:12:48Those, I think we can go down to... Absolute best is going to be 150.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50What do you think on that?
0:12:50 > 0:12:55- Is there any movement? - Any moo...any mooooovement?
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Oh! Any profit?
0:12:57 > 0:13:01- Anything in there, do you think? - Man, it's difficult.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Well, Jill? Phil? You wanted to buy big.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09Now, this is practically unheard of on Bargain Hunt.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11We have got 15 minutes left and both our teams
0:13:11 > 0:13:14still have three items to buy.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15Come on, you lot, get a move on!
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Team, sometimes when the going gets tough and you can't find
0:13:21 > 0:13:24collectables and you can't find antiques and real quality,
0:13:24 > 0:13:27look for something that goes far beyond that.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31And over here... Lincolnshire is a great fertile land, a great region.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35In this cabinet here, is a small horde of Roman coins...
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- Oh, right.- ..found in Lincolnshire.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42Five freshly dug up Roman coins in Lincolnshire
0:13:42 > 0:13:45give that feeling of discovery
0:13:45 > 0:13:48in the auction room, for £3.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- If they could talk, what could they tell you?- Magic!
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Is that magic? That's magic.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57But they're real and they are here. And for £3,
0:13:57 > 0:14:01- you can buy six Roman coins. - It is a piece of history.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05- And to me, you know, I'm embarrassed because they are so cheap.- Yeah.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08But it's amazing what you can pick up in an antique shop.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Guys, go on, buy them.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Charles, it looks like you've got your work cut out with these two.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17It's a very, very hard shop, one of my hardest ever shops.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19I have got ten minutes to go, what will I do? Panic.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Panic, panic, panic.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25But through nervous energy, panic will often find a true gem.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Well, that's one done at least.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30But while the Blues are still pondering the bull's heads,
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Jill has spotted something shiny and in team colours.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- That's nice.- Yes, it's quite pretty, isn't it?
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- What about that?- It's silver. - Let's have a look at the back.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41The important thing with this is the quality of the...
0:14:41 > 0:14:43the condition of the enamel.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Any little chips... That's all very, very good.
0:14:46 > 0:14:481926. Good thing for the dressing table.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51That's really... Ladies buy these things.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53And you can still use it, so it has that sort of...
0:14:53 > 0:14:55And it is below £100 at the moment.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- That gives us a bit of leeway, doesn't it?- A bit of leeway.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02- This is a good size, quite practical still.- It has got a bit of weight.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04- And a lovely shape to it. - It's nice. It looks nice.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08- I think, at auction, it's sort of £70 to £90.- Right.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Absolute bottom is going to be 80.
0:15:11 > 0:15:1580 plus 150 is £230.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Leaves 70 for one item and me.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20You can leave me a couple of quid, it might be hard,
0:15:20 > 0:15:21but have that in mind.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25So, come on, it's make your mind up time. What are you going to do?
0:15:25 > 0:15:28CLOCK TICKS
0:15:28 > 0:15:32Right, let's say yes to the bull's heads, yes to the mirror.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33We've got seven minutes left -
0:15:33 > 0:15:35let's go upstairs, find something else.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- OK?- Right, come on.- Brilliant.- Run!
0:15:38 > 0:15:41At last! A second buy for the Blues.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Quickly, run, run, run!
0:15:43 > 0:15:47More running, but it's going to be an upstairs race to the finish.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Andrea and Roberto still have two items to find.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Time to stay focused.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55It is some sort of scale for testing your eyes.
0:15:55 > 0:16:00- Someone might collect... - Orthos pointer, optical eye tester.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03You never know, someone on the internet might pick this up
0:16:03 > 0:16:05and think it's an interesting object.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06To be honest, it is a bit of a strange thing.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10But necessity... You know, we haven't got a choice now.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14- No.- I love this.- You like that?
0:16:14 > 0:16:16It's different, I've never seen one.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- Well, you need to get your eyes tested then.- There you go!
0:16:19 > 0:16:24Very sharp, JP, and it seems Charles may have spotted something, as well.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28- It has been a tough shop so far, hasn't it?- It has.- Tough shop, eh?
0:16:28 > 0:16:30But when the going gets tough, team,
0:16:30 > 0:16:32you know, you come across a real treasure.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36And to me, that plate is exquisite.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39It's a wonderful border on what we call a blue celeste ground.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43And it is marked for a factory called Davenport.
0:16:43 > 0:16:48And Davenport were a factory in Staffordshire who closed
0:16:48 > 0:16:50in the year 1887.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54- Wow.- Isn't that interesting? They closed, that was it.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58And maybe 15, 20 years before that, they were making a quality
0:16:58 > 0:17:01of plate like that.
0:17:01 > 0:17:06That's 135 years old and it's a painted canvas. I love it.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- Beautiful.- Like it? - It's gorgeous.- Really?- Yeah.
0:17:09 > 0:17:14- Is it?- It's quality.- The fact is, we've got two minutes to go.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18Never before have I not bought three items, this might be a problem.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21So, I'm going to say to you, why don't you race downstairs,
0:17:21 > 0:17:24see what he says, see if he will take £35,
0:17:24 > 0:17:29come back. If not, buy it at 40, because time is now running out.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Let me keep looking, OK? Come back as quick as.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35We are definitely at panic stations now.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Two minutes left, and two minutes
0:17:37 > 0:17:40is not enough time to start looking in more cabinets.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44- Buy something.- Let's do that. - It's unique, it's different.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- 25 quid, try that. - Go on, then, let's go.- Try 20.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Try 20, you never know.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Charles, with so little time,
0:17:51 > 0:17:56it could be left to you to find Andrea and Roberto's final item.
0:17:56 > 0:18:01So, Blues, how are negotiations going with the optical eye tester?
0:18:01 > 0:18:06- I spoke to the dealer, and the best they're going to do is 30.- Deal.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- It has to be a deal.- We are out of time, that will do.- That's it?
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Well, at least they understand your need for speed.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- We've got a minute to go, what have you done?- We got that, Charles.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Really? Well done. £40. Brilliant. Fantastic job.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22That is wonderful. Right. 40 seconds to go. Now, hold on.
0:18:22 > 0:18:27Hidden over here... Whilst you were downstairs negotiating,
0:18:27 > 0:18:31I found another really rare plate. Look at this.
0:18:31 > 0:18:36- What is in your hand by the way? - I found this downstairs.- Well done.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- It has got 25 on it. - OK, we've got 30 seconds.
0:18:39 > 0:18:44Here I have found a really rare Michael Crawley, a Derby artist.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47And it is beautifully decorated, swagged and gilded - really,
0:18:47 > 0:18:49really good plate. It's a tenner, OK?
0:18:49 > 0:18:53And I reckon they'll say a fiver, because it's cracked.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55That could be properly reset and repaired.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Ten seconds to go, my instinct is for profit,
0:18:58 > 0:19:01that is worth more than that.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03And for 20 for that or £8 for that,
0:19:03 > 0:19:08I would say, if you want profit and a guarantee, buy that.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- We'll go with that.- Sure?- Yeah. - Look at me, sure?
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Go offer a fiver, see what you can do.
0:19:13 > 0:19:18We have gotten literally ten seconds to go. Ten seconds. Ten, nine,
0:19:18 > 0:19:20eight... Quickly!
0:19:20 > 0:19:24..seven, six, five, four,
0:19:24 > 0:19:29three, two and a half...
0:19:29 > 0:19:34- How much?- £9.- £9?- £9.- OK.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38- Lovely. Thank you very much. - Thank you.- Yes! They bought it.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Phew! That was a close shave.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44Do you know, I kid you not... I kid you not, we have done it.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Give me a high five!
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Well done, partner. Well done.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Well, that's it, time's up.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought, eh?
0:19:53 > 0:19:57In Bargain Hunt history, this will go down as one of the slowest
0:19:57 > 0:20:00shops for one of the most meagre spends.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04And it all started with Charles digging up these set of Roman coins
0:20:04 > 0:20:06for a mere £3.
0:20:07 > 0:20:12In the 58th minute, he talked Andrea and Robert into paying £40
0:20:12 > 0:20:15for this 19th-century Davenport porcelain plate.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22And finally, with no time left, they scooped up another plate,
0:20:22 > 0:20:25this time Royal Crown Derby, for just £9.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31- Are we all happy?- Yes, we are happy. - How much did you spend in total?
0:20:31 > 0:20:33- I dare tell you.- All right, then.
0:20:33 > 0:20:38- Don't tell. What?- £52.- On all three pieces?- On all three pieces.
0:20:38 > 0:20:39- Right.- Yep.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41- So, can I have £248, please? - You can.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Which is your favourite piece, actually, out of all that lot?
0:20:44 > 0:20:48I think probably, strangely enough, the Roman coins.
0:20:48 > 0:20:49That is your favourite?
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Well, here we go, talking about coins, here are three of them.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- A few bags of sweets in there, mate. - Absolutely, Dad.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58But there's a way of doing it.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00And if I can buy with pedigree and provenance,
0:21:00 > 0:21:05I assure you we'll create drama, theatre and excitement at sale.
0:21:05 > 0:21:11Here we go again. OK, Charles, we got that message loud and clear.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Very, very kind. Now, you guys go and have a nice cup of tea
0:21:14 > 0:21:17while we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Jill and Phil proved they were made of strong stuff
0:21:21 > 0:21:23with these cast-iron bull's heads,
0:21:23 > 0:21:27paying £150 for the two.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30And Jill got her way with this silver and enamel hand mirror.
0:21:30 > 0:21:35Pretty and perfect, but at the cost of £80.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39Last but not least, with the end in their sights,
0:21:39 > 0:21:43they bought this optical pointer, paying £30.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46How much did you spend in toto?
0:21:46 > 0:21:47£260.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49I'd like £40 of leftover lolly - who has got that?
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- Jill?- No!- I've got back. - OK, thank you, Phil.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Now, £40, you are going to have to get going, right?
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- I've got to get some work done. - What are you going to spend it on?
0:21:57 > 0:21:59- I have no idea, I'll have to find something.- OK, fine.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Better get on with it. Good luck, teams. Meanwhile, we are heading off
0:22:02 > 0:22:04to the bosom of England.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06We are going to Birmingham we are going to BMAG.
0:22:06 > 0:22:07Do you know what BMAG is?
0:22:07 > 0:22:10It is the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11Now don't you know.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23By 1885, the citizens of Birmingham had been
0:22:23 > 0:22:28campaigning for their own museum for over 40 years.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32But in that year, the campaign was won,
0:22:32 > 0:22:37and the Birmingham City Museum and Art Gallery was born.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45This place is bulging with historical objects,
0:22:45 > 0:22:48some dating back for yonks and yonks.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52That is what I love about antiques -
0:22:52 > 0:22:57they can give you such an insight into the past, particularly at times
0:22:57 > 0:23:02of political and religious upheaval.
0:23:02 > 0:23:03Morning.
0:23:05 > 0:23:10Nowadays, we expect newspapers and current affairs programmes
0:23:10 > 0:23:14to criticise politicians and indeed royalty.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17But in the old days, that was a dangerous game,
0:23:17 > 0:23:21because you could very easily lose your head.
0:23:21 > 0:23:26And there are works of art that record moments in our history
0:23:26 > 0:23:31which were tense for a variety of reasons.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34If we take this tin-glazed bowl,
0:23:34 > 0:23:37you can see, in cobalt blue,
0:23:37 > 0:23:42we have picked out the image of a king. James II.
0:23:42 > 0:23:47The mystery with this little bowl is that it was made at all,
0:23:47 > 0:23:50because James II was a Catholic,
0:23:50 > 0:23:54he married an Italian woman and he loved the French.
0:23:54 > 0:23:59Those were three factors that made him deeply unpopular, thus he only
0:23:59 > 0:24:04reigned for three years, which goes to make this bowl extremely rare.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08Next to that, and other piece of tin-glaze.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11It says "Wenman and Dashwood forever."
0:24:11 > 0:24:15This bowl was produced in 1754.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17And we know that because in that year,
0:24:17 > 0:24:21there was a highly controversial and keenly contested
0:24:21 > 0:24:24by-election in the County of Oxfordshire.
0:24:24 > 0:24:31And no doubt these bowls would have been produced by the Tory supporters
0:24:31 > 0:24:33to be given to the electors
0:24:33 > 0:24:36as a memento of that great occasion.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40Scroll forward four years, to 1758, and here we have got
0:24:40 > 0:24:46a Worcester mug with a mug shot of our ally from the Seven Years' War,
0:24:46 > 0:24:48the King of Prussia.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52In the war that we now to refer to as the First World War, though,
0:24:52 > 0:24:57a series of these jugs, 11 of them, were produced for propaganda
0:24:57 > 0:25:01purposes between about 1915 and 1919.
0:25:01 > 0:25:06The one I like is this one of Marshal Foch,
0:25:06 > 0:25:10who was the Commander of the French Armies.
0:25:10 > 0:25:15All of these images are the creation of a political cartoonist.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19And you can see his script signature -
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Carruthers Gould - on the underside.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24When you think about it,
0:25:24 > 0:25:30his ability to criticise and caricature senior politicians,
0:25:30 > 0:25:36indeed royalty, was only possible because of the freedom of the press.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40And the freedom of the press in the 18th century is illustrated
0:25:40 > 0:25:43most vividly by this spoon.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47How come? Well, on the back of it, is a piece of script that says,
0:25:47 > 0:25:49"I love liberty."
0:25:49 > 0:25:55This spoon is associated with the radical thinker and politician
0:25:55 > 0:26:00and journalist John Wilkes, who repeatedly went to jail
0:26:00 > 0:26:05because he was determined that there should be freedom of the press.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09We should be allowed to criticise who we want,
0:26:09 > 0:26:11whenever we want to do it.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13And thank God for him.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17The other thing to thank God for is our teams over at the auction,
0:26:17 > 0:26:20whose heads may be just about to roll.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33Well, it is a great to be at Bateman's in Stamford
0:26:33 > 0:26:35and even better to see David Palmer.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38- Hello, how are you? - Good morning.- Nice to see you.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42Now, we have got a few plates here. First up, though, are the coins.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46Can you believe that it is possible to buy six, apparently genuine,
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Roman coins for only £3?
0:26:49 > 0:26:53No, I wouldn't have thought so, but you have achieved that, I believe.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56I mean, three haven't got much of an image on them
0:26:56 > 0:26:58and three get slightly better.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01- Mm.- We have estimated 15 to 20. - Have you?
0:27:01 > 0:27:02Well, Charles Hanson will be over the moon.
0:27:02 > 0:27:07Next, is the Davenport plate, which is a high-quality cabinet job,
0:27:07 > 0:27:08- isn't it?- It is.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11It is a lovely piece of 19th-century British art.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14A couple of little scratches on the image.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16What do you think it is worth scratched?
0:27:16 > 0:27:18We are estimating it at £30 to £40.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- OK, £40 paid. It might get to 40.- In with a chance.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23That's great, that's the spirit.
0:27:23 > 0:27:28- Now, Charles also found this cracked plate.- They disguised the crack
0:27:28 > 0:27:32- very well. You have to look to find it.- Yes.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Can't see it from the top, but you can underneath.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Indeed you can. But who looks at the back of the plate?
0:27:36 > 0:27:38- It's not the point of it. - Not really.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41And we have got a rather handsome show jumping scene.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Yeah, horses are popular around here.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47- People do show jumping. It is a nice painting.- Cracking job.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50OK, that is the problem, though, it is cracked.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54- Yep.- Nice as it is, how much do you think is worth?- £30 to £50.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58- Even in that condition? - Yes. And who knows,
0:27:58 > 0:28:01- it could jump away all over the place.- Really?!
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Gosh, how exciting. On that basis, they won't need their bonus buy,
0:28:04 > 0:28:06but let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:28:06 > 0:28:11Andrea, Roberto, you gave your man £248,
0:28:11 > 0:28:13which is a ridiculous amount of money.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15What did you spend it all on, Charles?
0:28:15 > 0:28:20Well, I spent, team, £150 on what I think are wonderful.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Now, they don't look a lot, do they?
0:28:22 > 0:28:24- I don't know, Charles.- Have one.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Now, these are circa 1835.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29These are table face screens.
0:28:29 > 0:28:34In the period of the 1830s, in your hot fire or your hot drawing
0:28:34 > 0:28:39room, you would've had this to protect your face against that heat.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41- And how much did you pay, Charles? - Do you know what?
0:28:41 > 0:28:44I paid what I thought was a snip. I paid £150.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47And if I was really gung-ho,
0:28:47 > 0:28:50I would almost value these at between three and £400.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52But let's be honest. You never know in this great business,
0:28:52 > 0:28:54they could make £100.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56But, goodness me, I rate them highly, Tim.
0:28:56 > 0:29:01The big thing is, is this saleroom in Stamford ready for you,
0:29:01 > 0:29:04Charles Hanson? In your Gothic revival sense.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07Tim, I think sometimes objects speak volumes for themselves.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10I am really repaired to stand by these and say they are great.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13- What do you think about them? - I think they are tremendous.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16- Very unusual. - Your moment to pick will come later,
0:29:16 > 0:29:19but right now, why don't we find out what the auctioneer
0:29:19 > 0:29:21thinks about Charles's table face screens?
0:29:22 > 0:29:25- Well, these are rather fun, aren't they?- They're lovely.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27Really Gothic in appearance, high Victorian.
0:29:27 > 0:29:32- Wonderful.- How desirable are they on the market, do you think?
0:29:32 > 0:29:35I don't know, I haven't sold a pair of these for ages.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39These are in nice order. I don't think the metal is anything special.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Just standard.
0:29:41 > 0:29:46With the screens themselves gone, we think about £80 to £120.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50OK, fine. Well, Charles paid £150.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52- He has obviously got completely flushed himself, hasn't it?- Yeah.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58And what a concoction we've got here.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02A pair of cast iron bull's heads, what do you make of those?
0:30:02 > 0:30:06I'm beginning to feel that they are not a pair.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08- Oh.- I think we have got one
0:30:08 > 0:30:11from which a casting has been made to get the other.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15Really? And where do think they might have come from then?
0:30:15 > 0:30:17A butcher's shop? Abattoir?
0:30:17 > 0:30:20- Right.- A cattle fancier, I don't know, something like that.
0:30:20 > 0:30:21Crude, though, aren't they?
0:30:21 > 0:30:25- They are charming. Folky. - Crudely charming.- Yes.
0:30:25 > 0:30:26What do you think they're worth
0:30:26 > 0:30:29if you put your bravest possible estimate on?
0:30:29 > 0:30:33Well, they would have a scrap value, I guess. £30 to £50?
0:30:33 > 0:30:35There are going to be some very depressed
0:30:35 > 0:30:38animal fanciers on the Blues, because they paid £150.
0:30:38 > 0:30:42- I think only one is old, the other isn't.- OK, fine.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46Now, moving on then, the blue enamel and silver hand mirror,
0:30:46 > 0:30:48that's a great little object, isn't it?
0:30:48 > 0:30:51Little being the operative word. It is very little.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54For a child, I guess. Silver and enamel, lot of work in that.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57- Mm-hm.- Not over popular, we've found.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Been selling mirrors like that at sort of 20 to £40,
0:31:00 > 0:31:01so that's what we put on this one.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03Oh, dear, £80 they paid.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Well, they will have to reflect on their past glories.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08Yeah, or failures.
0:31:08 > 0:31:13And lastly, is this extremely oddball device.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16- Oh, this is cool, isn't it?- Is it for measuring people's noses?
0:31:16 > 0:31:18I think it is for measuring their eyesight.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21I believe you had to place it on your face like that
0:31:21 > 0:31:24and I guess the optician
0:31:24 > 0:31:27or the barber, or whoever it is who does it, moves it up and down.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31And underneath, we have a panel that tells you where you move it to,
0:31:31 > 0:31:35- depending on your age. - That's fascinating, isn't it?- It is.
0:31:35 > 0:31:39- So, what is your estimate on it? - £20 to £40.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41£30 paid by our team.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43- Well.- They stand a good chance. - They do, they do.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45They seriously need some help, though,
0:31:45 > 0:31:49because those bulls aren't much, according to you, nor is the mirror,
0:31:49 > 0:31:52so they are going to need that bonus buy. Let's go and have a look at it.
0:31:52 > 0:31:57- Jill, Phil, excited?- Yes. - You spent that magnificent £260.
0:31:57 > 0:31:58We wasted the lot.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01No, you won't have done. Don't be pessimistic.
0:32:01 > 0:32:0440 notes went across to JP, and he has been out
0:32:04 > 0:32:06and bought something square.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10I, for obvious reasons, took a shining to this one.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14The Fallen Madonna With The Big Boobies?!
0:32:14 > 0:32:18So here we have a late 19th-century
0:32:18 > 0:32:20sort of earth...
0:32:20 > 0:32:23I don't know, portrait perhaps, maybe, but in other words,
0:32:23 > 0:32:27sort of a romantic scene, classical lady, barely dressed.
0:32:27 > 0:32:32- It is...it is signed. - Clearly a masterpiece, isn't it?
0:32:32 > 0:32:34In this nice sort of oak, spoon-moulded frame.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37There is no mystery
0:32:37 > 0:32:39about how much I paid for it, because, frankly,
0:32:39 > 0:32:41I only have 40 quid.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44And I had to wrestle for it, but £40 is all I paid.
0:32:44 > 0:32:45OK, £40.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49Personally, I don't...I wouldn't have it on my wall,
0:32:49 > 0:32:50but for 40 quid...
0:32:50 > 0:32:52There has got to be a profit in there.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54- I think it's awful! - You think it is horrible.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57- Why is it awful, Jill? - It is just not my taste at all.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59No, but forget the taste bit -
0:32:59 > 0:33:02can you see somebody buying it for £40?
0:33:02 > 0:33:05- Yes, possibly.- So, what would you hope, JP, that it might bring?
0:33:05 > 0:33:08- Seriously. - I would say 60 to £80.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10I would be surprised if there was no profit in it, frankly.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12- Yes.- Very surprised.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14Good, anyway, on that happy note,
0:33:14 > 0:33:18let's find out what our auctioneer has to say about this.
0:33:18 > 0:33:23- OK, David, there is a work of art for you.- It is indeed.
0:33:23 > 0:33:28- A shocker, isn't it?- I don't dislike her. She is quite attractive.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30We think it is all on canvas, don't we?
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Yes, I am fairly certain it is on canvas.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35- I don't think there is any age to her.- Do you not?- No.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39The way the sponged-in trees are in the background.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41So, how much is it worth?
0:33:41 > 0:33:44Well, bare breasted women go well round here,
0:33:44 > 0:33:46- and we think 50 to £80.- Do you?
0:33:46 > 0:33:49Jonathan Pratt paid £40 and he is very, very proud of it.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52- Yep.- Good. That's it, then, right? - Right.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55- Are you feeling OK? - I am quietly confident.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57Quietly confident, that is what we like.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04Now, Andrea, Roberto, this is the exciting moment.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07We have a saleroom jammed with folk.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09And have they all come here to buy your lots?
0:34:09 > 0:34:10That's the big question.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14- First up, though, are the Roman coins.- Thanks.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17This is no small change, is it?
0:34:18 > 0:34:22Roman bronze small coins. These are seriously old.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24- That's great.- Antiquities. £20 the lot. 20 quid.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27A tenner, then.
0:34:27 > 0:34:32- 12, on the net at 12 now. - That's in.- I'll take 15 anywhere.
0:34:32 > 0:34:33Is that 15? The net at 15.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36- Yes, Charles. - The bids are coming in now.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38They are really old. 18.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40At 18 now. Back on the net at 18.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43- 18.- It takes a minute or two, but it's good, isn't it?
0:34:43 > 0:34:45One more, internet, one more.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47Nobody else at £18?
0:34:47 > 0:34:49You sure?
0:34:49 > 0:34:52- Yes!- Excellent. That is very good. Plus 15.
0:34:52 > 0:34:53That is a good start.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56You only spent £52 and you're £15 up already.
0:34:56 > 0:35:00- Now, here is your old plate, Charles.- That is a beautiful plate.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02£30 for that? 30?
0:35:02 > 0:35:04£30 for the plate? An attractive little plate.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07£30? £20?
0:35:07 > 0:35:08£10?
0:35:08 > 0:35:11- £5 for the plate? - Such a good maker.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13Five at the back. Right at the very back at five.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15And I sell at five.
0:35:15 > 0:35:19- Seven. At the back and seven. - It's worth so much more!
0:35:19 > 0:35:21Eight, down here at eight.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23Nine. Ten.
0:35:24 > 0:35:2612. The net now at 12.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29At £12. I sell on the net at 12.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32- That was worth more. - That was worth a lot more.
0:35:32 > 0:35:33That is minus 28.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36- That was worth so much more. - Minus 28.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39It means you are minus 13 overall. Now, come on,
0:35:39 > 0:35:41- Michael Crawley's plate. - 20 quid for it.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43£20, the plate.
0:35:43 > 0:35:4520. Ten, then!
0:35:45 > 0:35:48£10 for the plate. £12 on bid on the net.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51With the net at 12. 15. The net now at £15.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53That's worth so much more.
0:35:53 > 0:35:57- It's going.- It's going, it's going. - Ride the horse.- At £25 now.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00Goes, then, at 25. Is that it? At £25.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02- So cheap!- Sell, then, at £25.
0:36:02 > 0:36:06The internet at 25, nobody else? You're sure in the room?
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Yes! You've done it, you've done it.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10And that is £16 profit,
0:36:10 > 0:36:12which is fantastic. You are plus £3.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16That is £1 each. OK? £3 profit for all that.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19Now, are you going to risk your £3 profit on the screens
0:36:19 > 0:36:20or are you going to stick?
0:36:20 > 0:36:23Because £3 could be a winning score.
0:36:23 > 0:36:27- No.- You don't?- We do, but we don't.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30You do, but you don't? Quick, because where going to sell them.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33- We'll stick.- You're going to stick? - Yeah.- Stick? She is sticking.
0:36:33 > 0:36:34- We are sticking.- They'll stick.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36Now that you have decided to stick, I have to tell you
0:36:36 > 0:36:39that the auctioneer's estimate is £80 to £120.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41So you may have done the right thing.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43On the other hand, with the power of the internet...
0:36:43 > 0:36:45We'll sell them anyway, and here they come.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48These could fly. They're wonderful.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51Gothic architectural fans, these are really rather nice.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54There we are, 50 quid. Straight in, £50?
0:36:54 > 0:36:56- They are worth that. - You made the right decision, team.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58We shall see, you never now.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01£20, then. 20 quid.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04- It's a joke.- Take 12 now.
0:37:04 > 0:37:0612. 15. 18.
0:37:06 > 0:37:0920. 22. 25.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11At 25. 28. 30.
0:37:11 > 0:37:1332. 35.
0:37:13 > 0:37:1538. 40.
0:37:15 > 0:37:1745. At 45 now.
0:37:17 > 0:37:18Against the wall at 45.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Are you done at 45?
0:37:21 > 0:37:24- Minus 105.- Yep.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Well, you did make the right decision,
0:37:28 > 0:37:29but you are plus three.
0:37:29 > 0:37:33OK? Plus three is the score we are interested in, so that's OK.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36Now, don't say it word to the Blues, all right?
0:37:36 > 0:37:38- Zip.- Zip? Perfect. Bad luck, Charles.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46OK, Jill, Phil, do you know how the Reds got on?
0:37:46 > 0:37:51- No.- Good, we don't want you to. - No.- Are you feeling confident, Jill?
0:37:51 > 0:37:55- No.- Do you need to take a pill, Jill?
0:37:55 > 0:37:56I do.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58OK, first up, though, are your bull's heads,
0:37:58 > 0:38:04- and here they come. - Lot 126, cast-iron bull's heads.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07Possibly from a butcher's trade signs.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09Let's start at what, 30 quid? 30 on bid.
0:38:09 > 0:38:1130. Five. 40. Five. 50. Five.
0:38:11 > 0:38:1460. Five. 70. Five. 80.
0:38:14 > 0:38:15Five. 90. Five. 100. 110.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18- Hey!- 120. 130. 140. 150.
0:38:18 > 0:38:22- 160. 170.- Phil!- 180. At 180. 190.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24# We're in the money! #
0:38:24 > 0:38:28At £190, then. £190, anyone else?
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Done and... Let's make it 200.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32- Try the 200.- Yeah, go on! - Go on!- Go on!
0:38:32 > 0:38:35- 200, he's in it 200.- Yes!
0:38:35 > 0:38:37210. At 210.
0:38:37 > 0:38:42Someone, £210. Nobody else? All done at 210?
0:38:42 > 0:38:44Your last chance.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48Bull's-eye!
0:38:48 > 0:38:51You find some more, that's the thing. You find some more.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53That is very good, isn't it? That is plus £60.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55Who would have thought? Now,
0:38:55 > 0:38:57your little mirror, darling.
0:38:57 > 0:38:5920 quid for it. £20. 20. Two. 25.
0:38:59 > 0:39:0228. 30. 32. 35. 38.
0:39:02 > 0:39:0640. 45. 50. 55.
0:39:06 > 0:39:0755 in the doorway.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11Goes in the doorway at £55. And I sell then at 55.
0:39:11 > 0:39:12- 60.- Yes!
0:39:12 > 0:39:14Internet, that's more like it.
0:39:14 > 0:39:1660 is on the net. 62 off you.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18In the room at 62.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20Sell in the room... 65.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23It needs to be...
0:39:24 > 0:39:26It's up. It is a lot better than 20 to 40, I can tell you that.
0:39:26 > 0:39:2765,
0:39:27 > 0:39:30so you're only minus 15 on that, don't worry.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32Now, here comes the slide.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Not many have got one of these at home. 20 quid for it.
0:39:34 > 0:39:35Tenner, then.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37£10.
0:39:37 > 0:39:41- Fiver.- No!- There's one here!
0:39:41 > 0:39:42Five, six.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44At six now. In the room at six.
