0:00:09 > 0:00:12Welcome to marvellous Malvern.
0:00:12 > 0:00:17This area has been an inspiration to all sorts of authors, including Lewis and Tolkien,
0:00:17 > 0:00:22and today I've no doubt will prove to be a page-turner too!
0:00:22 > 0:00:25So, let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Legend has it that CS Lewis when wandering home one evening
0:00:49 > 0:00:54from a Malvern pub saw a lamppost glowing through the snowflakes,
0:00:54 > 0:00:59and the inspiration for The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe was provided.
0:00:59 > 0:01:06The big question today is of course which of our teams will be finding the lion's share of the bargains?
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Let's find out, shall we?
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Coming up, our expert tries some subtle encouragement.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16You've got to stand up for yourself. Don't let her boss you around.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20Whereas Thomas tries a more direct approach to getting on top.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Well done!
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Well done.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26But before all that, how about we meet them all?
0:01:28 > 0:01:33Well, there's quite a bit of difference in height in our teams today, isn't there?
0:01:33 > 0:01:38For the Reds, we've got engaged couple Michelle and Nick,
0:01:38 > 0:01:41and for the Blues we have friends Lucy and Claire.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43- Hello, everyone.- Hello! - Lovely to see you.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Now, Michelle, ma belle, how did you two meet?
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Well, I'd been married for 25 years, hadn't dated anybody else,
0:01:49 > 0:01:52didn't know how to meet somebody else after my divorce,
0:01:52 > 0:01:58- and a friend put me on the internet. - Oh, yes.- And I met Nick and he was number 38 date.- Was he?
0:01:58 > 0:02:01I actually dated 37 men before meeting him!
0:02:01 > 0:02:07- Did you really? 37!- Yeah. - God, you'd have been fagged out.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08Well, mmm...
0:02:08 > 0:02:12When the others found out that I did massage they just went, ker-ching!
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- Oh, dear!- ..And wanted theirs, but this one was a gentleman.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19- He wanted to know about aromatherapy. - Yeah, then I got the massage.
0:02:19 > 0:02:25- Ah, there we go! So that's your job, is it?- It was.- It was. - Until the creaking knees set in.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29- Is that what you call an occupational hazard of massage people, knees?- It is.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- Knees and hands.- Yeah, I know. I bet!
0:02:31 > 0:02:36- Nick, it says here that you're a gardener.- I am, Tim. - Give us the low-down on that, then.
0:02:36 > 0:02:42Oh...hedge-cutting, shrubs, cutting grass...anything, really.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Have you ever had any odd requests?
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Well, I did have one very strange request once.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50There was an old lady rang me up and told me her budgie had died,
0:02:50 > 0:02:52could I come along and bury it?
0:02:52 > 0:02:55I thought, that won't take five minutes, a little budgie.
0:02:55 > 0:03:02So I drove along there, got there, and she said, "Oh, come in," opened the freezer and out came the budgie.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03Solid as a rock.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- She'd shoved it in the freezer. - She shoved it in the freezer, yeah.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10How long had it been in there, some years?
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Well, it felt like it.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Now, what do you know about antiques, you two?
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- I like unusual things.- Do you? Quirky?- Quirky.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21But is that what you intend buying today on Bargain Hunt, something quirky?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- Yes.- Well, we'd like to, yeah. - Anyway, good luck. - Thank you.- Thank you very much.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Lovely to talk to you. Now, girls...
0:03:26 > 0:03:29how did you first meet, Luce?
0:03:29 > 0:03:34Well, I met Claire in the student union bar at Bristol University.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37We had a brilliant night, dancing the night away,
0:03:37 > 0:03:40and we had lots to drink, it felt like I'd met a new friend.
0:03:40 > 0:03:46A couple of days later I saw her again on campus and I went bounding over to say hello,
0:03:46 > 0:03:51- only to find her looking at me a bit strangely and reintroducing herself. - Oh, no!
0:03:52 > 0:03:54- She'd completely forgotten you? - Yeah.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Were you a little bit the worse for wear, do you think, Claire?
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- I don't think it was one of my finer moments.- No.
0:04:00 > 0:04:05- But it had a bonding effect anyway on your friendship. - It certainly did.- It did.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07So, do you collect anything, Luce?
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Yes, I certainly do. I collect everything.
0:04:09 > 0:04:15Anything and everything, I love car boots, I like flea markets, my house is full of pictures of pin-up girls,
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- steam-liner trunks, old flags... - What's it look like, her house?
0:04:19 > 0:04:23- Awesome!- Oh, is it awesome? - It's amazing.- Thank you, Claire!
0:04:23 > 0:04:27Well, you just get into everything. "What's that? What's that?"
0:04:27 > 0:04:32Now, Claire, shall I actually call you Alice? Cos there's a bit of a story about this, isn't there?
0:04:32 > 0:04:36- You're more than welcome to call me Alice, if you like.- Ally?
0:04:36 > 0:04:42My grandfather phoned me up several years ago and said, "Oh, I've just watched a TV programme!
0:04:42 > 0:04:47"And you look just like the girl on it." I was thinking, "Great! Some Hollywood actress or something."
0:04:47 > 0:04:51And, no...I got compared to Alice from the Vicar Of Dibley.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56And I love my granddad to pieces. God rest him!
0:04:56 > 0:04:58What do you do for fun?
0:04:58 > 0:05:02We were watching TV one day and F1, Formula One, came on and I just got absolutely hooked.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05And we mentioned this to a friend of ours and he said,
0:05:05 > 0:05:09"I've got a sit-on lawnmower and we race it every weekend."
0:05:09 > 0:05:13- So we went...- You're jesting? - ..Lawnmower racing for the rest of that season as well.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17- Lawnmower racing!- Yes. There's a bit of a league locally. - I don't believe it.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21- There's a league for lawnmower racing? You're joking with me? - There is.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25- Is it very popular?- Yes. - What a fantastic sounding thing.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- Now, are you two going to make a great team today?- We are.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32- I think I'll scour the floor and Luce can do the high bits.- Well, quite.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36- So we've got the eye level and the lower level.- Yes.- Very good.
0:05:36 > 0:05:37You've got things covered. Well done, girls.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Now, the money moment.
0:05:39 > 0:05:44There's your £300. You know the rules, your experts await and off you go,
0:05:44 > 0:05:46and very, very good luck!
0:05:46 > 0:05:51Lawnmower racing league, eh! Well, that's a first.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59You know, you get to see all of humankind at these fairs,
0:05:59 > 0:06:02and there's all stages of evolution.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Look, here's an early prehistoric man and here's a developed modern man...
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Actually, that's no caveman, it's Philip Serrell.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13She looks up to him but he's got to look up to her
0:06:13 > 0:06:15and she gets to look down on him.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Yes, expert Thomas Plant knows his place today.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- Am I a rose between two thorns? - Yes.- Yes!
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Let's be honest!
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- Quite like a bit of Art Nouveau. - A bit of Art Nouveau?- Don't mind what else, we're in your hands.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37A bit of bronze.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39So what is your tactics?
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- I don't know. Let's buy lots of stuff.- Stuff?- Oh, yeah.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- Buy what you like.- OK. - Buy what you like.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Righty-ho! We're good to go!
0:06:52 > 0:06:55There's a square-shaped scent bottle down there.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Oh, it is nice, that, isn't it?
0:06:57 > 0:07:01- It's just going to be too much money for us. Let's make our way on. - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04We don't want to go and put all our eggs into one very expensive basket, do we?
0:07:04 > 0:07:08Thomas has the same advice for his team, but in a shorthand code.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- Put it down means it's...- Rubbish.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14But a code can work both ways.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17Put it down, Thomas!
0:07:17 > 0:07:19It's a lovely chair.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Put it down, Thomas!
0:07:25 > 0:07:27What's this?
0:07:27 > 0:07:28Michelle's not sitting around.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30That looks nice.
0:07:34 > 0:07:35So...
0:07:36 > 0:07:38..what's this for?
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- Pencil?- I thought it might be a pencil.- Oh, it is.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44- That is lovely.- Why do you like that?
0:07:44 > 0:07:49I just love unusual things, and that to me is really sweet. Is it silver?
0:07:49 > 0:07:52I don't think it is silver, actually. If you look just there,
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- can you see the base metal's wearing through?- Oh, right.- Right.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59It's the end of the 19th century and I think it's probably Continental.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02How do you think it would do at auction?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04On a bad day between £10 and £15.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08On a good day, it might make 30.
0:08:08 > 0:08:13It's priced up at £28. I think you need to try and buy it for 20 if you want it.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- It's a nice thing.- Do you like it? - I tell you what, Nick, it's not very manly.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20- It's not very manly, no, but...- Eh? - What she likes, I like.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- Why don't you go and see what this good lady will do it for?- OK.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28- I've told you what I think, and I'm going to have a wander around, all right?- Yeah.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31I really like that, it's very pretty. Is there any...?
0:08:31 > 0:08:34I'll have a look and see what I can do.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Thank you.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- It's got to be 25.- Could you do 20? - No.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43I think 20 might be a long way off.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Now, what fabulous antique has caught the Blues' attention?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50How much is the dog?
0:08:50 > 0:08:52LAUGHTER
0:08:52 > 0:08:54You are quite majestic, aren't you? Mmm?
0:08:54 > 0:08:58So have the Reds scratched any more off that pencil holder?
0:08:58 > 0:09:02The lady said 25 and there's no lower than that.
0:09:02 > 0:09:07- Well, these guys have to make a profit, don't they?- They do. And I think it's a sweet little thing.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11- If you think it's a sweet little thing, other people will, won't they?- I think so.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12- And I think... - Can I have it, please?
0:09:12 > 0:09:16- Well, if you like it, sweetheart, we'll have it.- Thank you!
0:09:16 > 0:09:17What a pushover!
0:09:17 > 0:09:22- I want it.- You can have it. - Can I have a word with you? Cos I think you need putting right.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25What you've got to, you've got to be a lot firmer with her.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- I know.- Just don't let her... She'll run you ragged, honestly.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32So that's Phil's version of relationship advice, is it?
0:09:32 > 0:09:36Note...any views expressed here don't necessarily reflect those of the BBC.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43What's that one over there? The beer tap, I think it is.
0:09:43 > 0:09:48This is quite fun. A Victorian beer tap. Tapped into the barrel, into the old keg,
0:09:48 > 0:09:51and then obviously the pipe gets screwed on. Why did you like it?
0:09:51 > 0:09:55I just thought it'd make a really unusual coat hook or something like that.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59- I like your style! So you could screw it into something...- Yeah.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- And you could hang your coats on this end?- Yeah.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06- Harry Mason, Birmingham. - What material's that?- It's brass.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- The "Veribest".- The "Veribest". With an "I".
0:10:09 > 0:10:15- What do you think? - Yes, I...- Shall we see what's the "Veribest"...- Good one, Thomas!
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- "Veribest"! Get it?- The "Veribest". - The "Veribest"!
0:10:18 > 0:10:20The very, very best would be 15.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- And the def?- 15.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- 10?- No, I can't do that. - What can you do?- 14.
0:10:26 > 0:10:31- I paid 12 for it.- Did you? - I paid for it. - That's an honest man, isn't it?
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- Very honest.- It's something I'd buy. - It's quite cool.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- Come on. We're going to go for it. - Let's do it!
0:10:36 > 0:10:37- Thank you.- Thank you very much.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39So, each team now has one item.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44Good to see the Blues getting stuck in. The Reds however are just getting stuck.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50- I don't know about you two, but I think it's absolutely crammed in here.- Yes.- Yeah.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- Shall we vanish outside a bit? - Definitely.- After you.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Yeah, it's all sweetness and light outside.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00I think Thomas is a cheeky chap.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02- Oh, yes, friendly banter. - Very cheeky.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- We like Thomas a lot.- Yeah. - He's a good expert.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07We're pleased with him, good choice.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16How much is that, please?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- Good afternoon.- How are you? - Well, thank you.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23The very, very best on that, sweetheart, is 100, and that's it.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27- I've got 120 on it. - I think it's a fun thing.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31And the stupid part about that is that 30 years ago, it was like a fiver, that.
0:11:31 > 0:11:37- But this sort of warehouse look is so trendy and attractive. - At least it's useful.- Needs updated.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Have you got any leeway on this at all?
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Another 10, 90, that's it.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46- Who do you think would buy it? - That's got such a trendy look. - I think that would go.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50That's got such a trendy look. It's a pine baker's trolley with two shelves missing, you know?
0:11:50 > 0:11:55- Yeah.- And that now is more desirable than a pair of Victorian chairs.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- The world is mad.- Yeah. - Mad, mad, mad, mad.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00I think at auction that's sort of £50-£80.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- We'll have a think about that. - All right, sweetheart.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04- We have that on our standby list. - Our wish list.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08We've had 17 minutes, you know, so we need to get on.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11And I am going to have to have serious words with you, because...
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Is she like this all the time?
0:12:14 > 0:12:18- Yeah, all the time.- You've got to stand up for yourself. Don't let her boss you around.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Relationship guru Phil strikes again.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25My massive weight?
0:12:25 > 0:12:30Now, has Thomas found a way of readdressing his lack of stature on the Blue team?
0:12:30 > 0:12:34- I've never gone on stilts before. - Have you not? You'll be as tall as me.
0:12:34 > 0:12:35That's the reason why I'm doing it.
0:12:36 > 0:12:37Ready, ready...go on.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Nearly, nearly, nearly.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42That's it. You've got the wrong shoes.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46- That's it. You're going to get there. - I want to get there. - Go on. Well done!
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Well done!
0:12:49 > 0:12:50Now I feel really short.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Now, do you hold on to them like this?
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Oh, oh, oh...
0:12:58 > 0:12:59No.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05- What's that?- It's a writing slate, it's Victorian.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09What you saw first was the impressive bit, so you saw the top,
0:13:09 > 0:13:13then you see the front, but then when you look at the sides,
0:13:13 > 0:13:16that's straight grained walnut. I would leave well alone with that.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20Looks like that box isn't going anywhere. And neither is Thomas.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Which foot? Which one are you going to go with?
0:13:25 > 0:13:27- Have you done this before?- No.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29- Have you tried them?- No.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32How do the circus acts do it?
0:13:32 > 0:13:35At least the Red team are moving forward.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39The only thing that's missing is the heart. But it came out of one of the universities, Cambridge,
0:13:39 > 0:13:43I cannot remember which one it is now, but it has got some age to it as well.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46It's very commercial, it's very sellable, I think it's absolutely awful.
0:13:46 > 0:13:51- It is.- It's horrid.- The very best price I can do on it is 110.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54I think it's just a touch high pricewise for us,
0:13:54 > 0:13:57but if we don't find anything else I think we might come back and have a look at it.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59And talking of inert bodies...
0:13:59 > 0:14:00Got it?
0:14:00 > 0:14:02No...
0:14:02 > 0:14:03No!
0:14:03 > 0:14:04- Take your time.- Hang on.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06- No, you're not going to do it. - I'm not going to do it.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08I'm taking your time.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10You need a pro to show you how it's done, Thomas.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Maybe I'll give you a lesson later.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17- That would make a great coffee table, wouldn't it? - It would, actually.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19This is 550.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22- You need a good eye in this business, don't you?- You do.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25And how much is your workbench with the glass top on it?
0:14:25 > 0:14:30- Workbench with the glass top is 225. - Out of our price range, I'm afraid.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33At least Thomas is back to doing what he does best.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- Bronze is quite nice. - She is lovely, isn't she?- Yeah.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- It's Ruth, isn't it, by the well? - Wishing-well?
0:14:39 > 0:14:43No, Ruth, by the well, isn't she? Your pen went in there,
0:14:43 > 0:14:47your ink is in there, but it's just really well carved.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Look, you've got her little fingernails.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51- That's always a good sign. Can you see them there?- Yeah.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53On her toes as well.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57- And her face is quite nice as well, strong-featured.- Yeah.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- How much is the bronze? - 110's the very best.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04- The def?- It is really.- Not 100?- No.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06- Go on, 100!- Can't, really.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08105, kiss on the cheek, really?
0:15:08 > 0:15:10OK, go on, then.
0:15:10 > 0:15:15- Do you think that we'd make some money, make our money back at the very least at that price?- Yeah.
0:15:15 > 0:15:20I think you should do, because it's a good thing, and it's an inkwell, rather than...
0:15:20 > 0:15:23- So it has a purpose.- Has a purpose. - I like it.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27- It's expensive.- You make the decision, it's up to you.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31- Do you want to look...? - On your good word...
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Yeah. Do you want to carry on looking or do you want to buy it?
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Go on!
0:15:39 > 0:15:40Oh, rats!
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- It's difficult, isn't it? - It's really difficult.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Let's just do it!
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- Do it!- And we've got time for our last item.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52- Thank you very much. You need your kiss now.- Oh, yeah.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54We'll come round and give you your kisses.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57- What will you give us for two kisses?- A bit more!
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Go on, £100!
0:16:00 > 0:16:02- Shall we get you in the middle and give you a kiss each side?- £100.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04- Go on, then!- Yeah!
0:16:04 > 0:16:06This way round.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09- We're useless directors.- Mwah!
0:16:09 > 0:16:13Two kisses, eh? Thomas is looking a little jealous, don't you think?
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Has Phil found something big enough to carry Nick in?
0:16:21 > 0:16:22Push me along, Phil.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26I like that. I think that's going to be a good item.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Well, it's nice that it's all up together.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30It doesn't look like it's been messed around with.
0:16:30 > 0:16:35- No.- And what I think it'll do for...
0:16:35 > 0:16:38- You know, I can see that in a baker's.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:16:38 > 0:16:44- In a baker's window with a display with a fresh loaf of bread on it. - Yeah.- Some rustic loaves.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48You put it in a florist's, it would look great with a floral display,
0:16:48 > 0:16:51or just have it in the garden as a bit of...
0:16:51 > 0:16:55Agricultural bygones are great fun as decoration stuff,
0:16:55 > 0:17:02- so...I like this. I really do.- Yeah. - See, in my eyes, this is priced at £175.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06- I think it's £80-£120 worth. Let's go and have a word. - Let's go and have a word.
0:17:08 > 0:17:14I would like 150, but I might take a bit less, cos I've got more stock than money.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18We're a long, long way apart, but it's a nice thing, isn't it?
0:17:18 > 0:17:21- It's lovely.- You both like it? - We do like it.- Definitely.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25Well, I think you've got to buy it, in my eyes, to make a profit on that,
0:17:25 > 0:17:28that's got to be £80-£100.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29Would you take 115 for it?
0:17:31 > 0:17:35125 is the best I could do it. It's a lovely thing.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Could you help us out at £120?
0:17:38 > 0:17:39- Go on, then.- Do you want to buy that?
0:17:39 > 0:17:41- Brilliant, definitely, yeah.- You do?
0:17:41 > 0:17:43- All the best.- I'll have to have extra discounts at the auction.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46- Thank you very much.- Thank you. That was brilliant, thank you.
0:17:46 > 0:17:47Thank you very much.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48I think that's lovely.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52So each team has one last purchase to make,
0:17:52 > 0:17:56and with time running out both teams are hard on the case...or are they?
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Can I have three hot chocolates, please?
0:17:59 > 0:18:03- Actually, we'd like incredibly hot...- Large or regular?
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Hot... Oh, large!
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Do I look like a man that wants a small one?
0:18:08 > 0:18:10For God's sake! Honestly!
0:18:11 > 0:18:12Gor! There you are.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16- Cheers.- Cheers. Yeah, thank you very much.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18- How about this? - I know, we're lucky.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21You'll be lucky to find your last purchase at that rate.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25- We've only got ten minutes left and we've got another item to buy. - I know, sweetheart.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29Still, we have got a bargain with the chocolate, though!
0:18:29 > 0:18:30That's true, yeah!
0:18:30 > 0:18:33I hope the Blues aren't intending to lie down on the job!
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- I quite like that.- That's nice. - It's a blanket holder.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Do you like that?
0:18:39 > 0:18:43- Am I looking at a blanket or the holder?- The holder. - The leather holder.
0:18:43 > 0:18:44The strap.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- OK.- It's cool!
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Has it got mileage in it?
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Well, it's got mileage in it because people like picnics.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56- They like to go out, don't they? Festivals.- That's true.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00You know, it's quite a cool thing and people love travel objects.
0:19:00 > 0:19:06- Combien?- Well, it says £28. What's your best on this?
0:19:07 > 0:19:09- 28 it's got on it, hasn't it?- Yeah.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Er...20.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14- Def.- Def?
0:19:14 > 0:19:1515?
0:19:16 > 0:19:1715?
0:19:18 > 0:19:20- 18.- Go on.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24- 17. I like 17.- You like 17?- Yeah.
0:19:24 > 0:19:25What do you think, girls?
0:19:25 > 0:19:27It's functional, it's useful...
0:19:27 > 0:19:31- £17. I think it's all right. - Would you take 15?
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- 15!- Go on!- Oh, go on!
0:19:36 > 0:19:4116. I've got to do 16, cos it's a good price anyway.
0:19:41 > 0:19:46- I've never seen too many of them before.- Go on, do it for Lucy!
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- We'll have a go!- Yeah!
0:19:49 > 0:19:50Thank you.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Third and final, brilliant!
0:19:52 > 0:19:56Meanwhile, the refreshed Reds are now feeling the pressure.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00Just don't panic, just bear with me. All will be all right.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02I mean, if you two see something just shout out quick.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08- I fancy a cup of tea on our blanket here.- Yeah!- Yeah.- Let's do it.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13So the Blues can stretch out on their blanket, but Phil's getting desperate.
0:20:14 > 0:20:19Here's a football. These things are brand-new, repro, £10 or £15 worth.
0:20:19 > 0:20:25- If we buy that and it's £10, £15, it's cost us £10, £15.- Yeah.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29Now, on your trolley, the most you might make might be £5 or £10,
0:20:29 > 0:20:31so this is a bit of tactical buy, this.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35- Well, we're not going to lose a lot on it.- Let me see if I... - We haven't got any time.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- You've just run out of time.- We'll take the ball.- We'll have it, then.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Ready? So £15, over here, son, on the head.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42- Go on, then!- Really?
0:20:42 > 0:20:44It's a flat one.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Come on, we better go. We're messing around. Is this with it?
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Good stuff! Look at that. That's what you call a bonus buy.
0:20:53 > 0:20:58The hour's up. That's the rule and we're sticking to it.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Let's check out what the Red team bought, eh?
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Michelle was the first to make her mark
0:21:03 > 0:21:05with this silver-plated pencil holder.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10They're hoping to carry off a profit with this porter's wheelbarrow.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14And they got a hat trick in the dying seconds of the game
0:21:14 > 0:21:16with this leather football.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21Now, Michelle, ma belle, what did you spend totalwise?
0:21:21 > 0:21:26- £160.- That is a lovely total, isn't it? Did you enjoy that, old Nick? - It was really, really good, yeah.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30- So who's got the 140 of leftover lolly, then?- I think I have. - Have you?
0:21:30 > 0:21:32- Good.- There you go. - Thank you very much.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34There's a tidy sum, 140.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37It's going to be tough, isn't it, this stage of the day and all that?
0:21:37 > 0:21:41Well, yeah, but, you know, Nick's a gardener, this is a gardening showground,
0:21:41 > 0:21:46- and I'm going to find something with a gardening...- Tone. - Sounds OK to me.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50And have a nice cup of tea. Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Lucy got things flowing with a Victorian beer tap.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58They forced Claire to make the decision
0:21:58 > 0:22:02about this Biblical bronze figure.
0:22:04 > 0:22:05And, finally, they headed off
0:22:05 > 0:22:08with a 1930s leather carrier and blanket.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Now, girls, how was that shopping for you?
0:22:12 > 0:22:16- Fast-paced.- Was it?- Yes. - All right for you, Luce?- Fab.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- You enjoyed it?- Absolutely.- Which is your favourite piece, Luce?
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Er...probably the blanket strap.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24- That's your favourite bit? - I think so, yeah. - Do you agree with that, Clairey?
0:22:24 > 0:22:27I'm going to go for the bronze, but I'm not sure why.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- How much did you spend in total? - £130.- £130.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- So I'd like £170, please, Claire. - There you go.- Thank you very much.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35170 goes straight over to Tom.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37- Do you think I've had fun? - I bet you have!
0:22:37 > 0:22:42Half the nation's jealous of you, having these girls for an hour, Tom!
0:22:42 > 0:22:45You're a lucky man! What are you going to spend the 170 on?
0:22:45 > 0:22:49Well, we might have seen a few things which might be coming our way.
0:22:49 > 0:22:50- Really?- Yep!
0:22:50 > 0:22:54Uh-oh! I don't like the sound of that, but good luck with it!
0:22:54 > 0:22:55Go and have a nice cup of tea, girls.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Meanwhile, we're chugging off to Oxfordshire.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04This is Nuffield Place,
0:23:04 > 0:23:09so-called because it was home to 20th-century motorcar designer William Morris,
0:23:09 > 0:23:12who became Lord Nuffield when he was ennobled.
0:23:12 > 0:23:18Lord Nuffield was recognised for his enormous contribution to British industry.
0:23:18 > 0:23:23Morris cars literally revolutionised British life,
0:23:23 > 0:23:27bringing the motor within reach of the masses.
0:23:27 > 0:23:32And along the way making a tremendous personal fortune for the Nuffields.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Lord Nuffield was one of Britain's greatest philanthropists.
0:23:37 > 0:23:44During his time, it is estimated that he donated £30 million to the causes close to his heart,
0:23:44 > 0:23:49worth today a staggering £500 million at least.
0:23:50 > 0:23:55Nuffield Place was the home of Lord and Lady Nuffield for over 30 years.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59And the only reason we're here today and enjoying it
0:23:59 > 0:24:02is as a result of his incredible generosity.
0:24:02 > 0:24:07Because he gave the house and the entire contents to Nuffield College
0:24:07 > 0:24:12who only recently have passed it over to the National Trust.
0:24:13 > 0:24:18It's not so often you come into a relatively modest house like this,
0:24:18 > 0:24:24and find all the trappings of nobility, ermine and all.
0:24:24 > 0:24:30These were constructed especially for Lord and Lady Nuffield for the Coronation,
0:24:30 > 0:24:33behind which there is a bit of back story.
0:24:34 > 0:24:40This is the moment where the City of Coventry were presenting Lord Nuffield
0:24:40 > 0:24:42with the freedom of the city.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45And this is the official notice.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50It says here "true allegiance to His Majesty the King Edward VIII..."
0:24:50 > 0:24:54Whoops! Which is scratched out, and if you look at the date,
0:24:54 > 0:24:58the date is the 10th day of December 1936.
0:24:58 > 0:25:04The day that Lord Nuffield was getting his freedom of the City of Coventry
0:25:04 > 0:25:09was the very day that Edward VIII was abdicating.
0:25:09 > 0:25:14So I guess somebody with pen and ink that morning had to scratch it out.
0:25:14 > 0:25:20They say here in red, "Alterations made in consequence of the abdication
0:25:20 > 0:25:23"of His Majesty King Edward VIII."
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Now, they've shoved in instead of King Edward VIII,
0:25:26 > 0:25:30"the King, his heirs and successors, according to law."
0:25:30 > 0:25:34All of this would have been particularly poignant for the Nuffields
0:25:34 > 0:25:39because they were friendly with the Prince of Wales, then Edward VIII.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41They used to play golf together.
0:25:42 > 0:25:47If this doesn't take your breath away, try the next item on for size!
0:25:48 > 0:25:55This is not the sort of gadget that you would expect to be made in a motorcar factory, is it?
0:25:55 > 0:25:58It looks a bit like a tapering coffin.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Actually, this thing is an iron lung.
0:26:01 > 0:26:09Poliomyelitis was a life-threatening disease up to the invention of the vaccine in 1952.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12And this concerned Nuffield,
0:26:12 > 0:26:21so much so that he decided that he would put his resources behind the mass production of iron lungs
0:26:21 > 0:26:22of this type.
0:26:22 > 0:26:27And the principle of the iron lung is illustrated in this period photograph.
0:26:27 > 0:26:32Here we've got the equivalent of the nursing staff, Hattie Jacques look,
0:26:32 > 0:26:34and the doctor in his white coat,
0:26:34 > 0:26:41and the iron lung would literally extract air through that pipe and into a pump
0:26:41 > 0:26:47and reduce the atmospheric pressure, making it easier for the polio victim to breathe
0:26:47 > 0:26:50and indeed continue to live.
0:26:50 > 0:26:55So generous was Lord Nuffield that he said that any hospital in the Empire
0:26:55 > 0:27:01that wanted or needed one of these iron lungs could have it, free of charge.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04And up to the beginning of the Second World War
0:27:04 > 0:27:08some 1,700 of these units were distributed.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12Mmm! The big question today is of course over at the auction...
0:27:12 > 0:27:17are our teams' profits likely to turn out to be quite as generous?
0:27:37 > 0:27:42Well, it's marvellous to be in this ginormous hall with Liz Poole.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45- Liz, it's a treat to be here. - Thank you. Thank you for coming.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Well, it's lovely for us to be with you.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51First up for our Reds is this wee pencil,
0:27:51 > 0:27:53which is extremely delicate, isn't it?
0:27:53 > 0:27:58Very, very delicate. I think silver-plated, probably Continental.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01Nice little filigree decoration on the chain.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04- But not silver, plated, that's the problem, isn't it?- It is.
0:28:04 > 0:28:09So not a huge amount. Possibly 10-20.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13Right. £25 paid. It just depends on who's here that falls in love, yes?
0:28:13 > 0:28:15- It does, because it is pretty. - Excellent.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Now we go from the sublime to the ridiculous
0:28:18 > 0:28:23with this porter's trolley. Not my favourite object. Do you like that?
0:28:23 > 0:28:25It's fun and unusual.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29It's been varnished which perhaps doesn't give it the best look.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32- It would be nice to strip it back to the bare oak, wouldn't it? - It would.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36So there's a little bit of improving work to do there, but otherwise it's sound. What do you think it's worth?
0:28:36 > 0:28:40Hard to value. I've probably done quite a good estimate, 70-100.
0:28:40 > 0:28:44Nice auctioneer's estimate there, isn't it? 70-100. Not good enough, though.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47- £120 they paid.- Ooh! - That was their big investment.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50Will they be kicked into touch or not?
0:28:50 > 0:28:55- We'll see.- Which leads me neatly to the football, which is brand Harry Spankers, isn't it?- It is.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58- Very much a reproduction.- Yes.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02Anyway, what would you have to pay for a leather football like that, even as a reproduction?
0:29:02 > 0:29:06- I've put 10-20.- Have you? OK, fine, £15 the team paid, so...
0:29:06 > 0:29:08anyway, there we are. They're about in the money there.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11- It slightly depends on how the trolley goes.- It does.
0:29:11 > 0:29:16That will determine whether they need the bonus buy or not, but let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21Now, Michelle, ma belle, Nick, this is your moment
0:29:21 > 0:29:26to discover what Philip Serrell has invested £140 of your cash in
0:29:26 > 0:29:29for this leftover lolly moment.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33I bought you one each, because I thought you're a gardening type, so there's a syringe,
0:29:33 > 0:29:36and I thought you'd look good on the carpet, my love. There we are!
0:29:37 > 0:29:39Careful!
0:29:39 > 0:29:40I'm confused.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44- It's a carpet fitter. Do you want me to show you what you really do with that?- Yeah.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47This is fantastic, because this has two uses.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50Actually, it's formally a carpet stretcher like that,
0:29:50 > 0:29:54- so you put that on to your carpet and then you batter it with your knee.- A carpet stretcher?
0:29:54 > 0:30:00- It's a carpet fitter. - Oh, right.- The other use is if the carpet laying is going a bit quiet,
0:30:00 > 0:30:02you get a part in a Christmas panto
0:30:02 > 0:30:06and you put that there like that, "Oh, Jim, lad!" It's just ideal.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09- When I fall off it! - It's good, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13- Multifunctional.- Brilliant. - Obviously, a sprayer of some description.
0:30:13 > 0:30:14Brilliant, isn't it? It's a garden pump.
0:30:14 > 0:30:19So you put that in a bucket, and that stops all the gunk coming up,
0:30:19 > 0:30:23you put that into your bucket like that, and then rubber hose on there,
0:30:23 > 0:30:25and you just pump it like that.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29- Right.- Just what you need. - I could do with one of those.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32- How much did they cost? - They were £35 the two.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34So I think they're going to make £30-£50.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36- I think they're real fun things. - Definitely.- Oh, yes.
0:30:36 > 0:30:37Thank you very much, P Serrell.
0:30:37 > 0:30:43I don't think on Bargain Hunt we've ever had a carpet-stretching syringe combo ever before.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Let's find out now what the auctioneer thinks about the two objects.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51OK, Liz, here's something to suck up to you with.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55- Very good.- One syringe, eh?- Yeah.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58- Now, there are people that collect gardenalia, aren't there?- Yes.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01Will that appeal to a gardenalia person?
0:31:01 > 0:31:04I hope so. It's got the make, Iron-Am.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08- Which is handy for a brass syringe. - Yes.- OK, fine.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12This fellow, I think, is truly weird,
0:31:12 > 0:31:14unless you happen to be a carpet fitter, of course,
0:31:14 > 0:31:18- in which case it would be a treat. - Yes, it's a nice one of its kind.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22What's your value on the syringe, then? Is that worth £10 or £20?
0:31:22 > 0:31:27- Yeah, thereabouts.- And is the carpet stretcher worth £10 or £20?
0:31:27 > 0:31:30- Yes, definitely. - £20-£40, if I make that right.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33- Yeah, definitely. - Well, Serrell invested £35,
0:31:33 > 0:31:38so he probably won't get into too much trouble if the team decide to go with it.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41That's it for the Reds, now for the Blues.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45- And the first item they've got is the Veribest tap...- Fun, isn't it?
0:31:45 > 0:31:49I know. What a good trade name, isn't it? "Veribest".
0:31:49 > 0:31:54I think it was a Henry or Harry Mason and it's a brewer's tap.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56- Yeah.- To go in the old barrel.
0:31:56 > 0:32:01- Breweriana. I mean, people buy it. - Yes, they do, very much, like breweriana.
0:32:01 > 0:32:06- So...10-20.- 10-20. OK, £14 paid, so they're spot-on for that.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09Now, I have to tell you, I rather fancy this bronze.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13- She's nice, isn't she? She's Ruth, I think, by the well.- Biblical.
0:32:13 > 0:32:20- Biblical, there you go.- But pretty. No maker, extra little glass... - Bucket.- Bucket.
0:32:20 > 0:32:26- Probably a little later, but again nice, so we've put 80-120. - OK, £100 paid.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29That was their big number, and you've more or less covered that,
0:32:29 > 0:32:32- so with a little tickle from the rostrum, please...- Definitely.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34- ..Towards a profit. They'll be very pleased with you.- Yeah.
0:32:34 > 0:32:38And lastly is the blanket which is not so hot as a blanket, is it?
0:32:38 > 0:32:43- The leather straps are nice and old. I think the blanket's polyester.- Ah!
0:32:45 > 0:32:47So a fun thing to have in the back of the car.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50- Yeah. So what's it worth?- 10-20. - They paid £16.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54- So that's pretty cool, really, isn't it?- Yes. I think so. - OK. Brilliant.
0:32:54 > 0:32:59Well, on that basis, they may or may not need the bonus buy, but let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:33:00 > 0:33:04- OK, now, Lucy, Claire, you spent £130.- We did.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07And you gave Thomas Plant £170.
0:33:07 > 0:33:11He's known to be pretty kind of adventurous when it comes to these bonus buys,
0:33:11 > 0:33:15and so, Thomas, show us what you've invested the £170 in today, please!
0:33:15 > 0:33:19Well, I had to, I had to buy them. We had so much fun with these.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23I had to buy them. Because I wanted to get to your height, Lucy.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27- OK, go on, then.- I can't believe you've done that.- Well, I'll give it a go, but I don't think so.
0:33:28 > 0:33:29- Oh!- Tom!
0:33:29 > 0:33:33That is just terrible. Did you learn nothing when you were a child?
0:33:33 > 0:33:34It's very, very easy.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37You put one foot on there and one foot on there,
0:33:37 > 0:33:38and you keep moving.
0:33:38 > 0:33:43You never, ever are able to stand on stilts on the spot.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46You have to keep moving your feet to maintain your balance.
0:33:46 > 0:33:47- Dead easy, isn't it?- Wonderful!
0:33:47 > 0:33:52Now, I too wanted to get higher than Lucy on the show...
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Whoops! Mind your foot! Whey!
0:33:57 > 0:33:59- There you go. There you are. - There you are.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03Remember these were sort of... I think they were £25 or something,
0:34:03 > 0:34:08but £15 I paid for them. Look what fun they've brought to us this morning!
0:34:08 > 0:34:10And what fun they'll bring at the auction!
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Thank you, Tom. It's a bit of fun, as you say.
0:34:12 > 0:34:16Whether the saleroom today will regard it in the same light, we'll find out,
0:34:16 > 0:34:21but right now let's find out from today's auctioneer what she thinks of Thomas's stilts.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24Right, then.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28This is getting ridiculous with these expert bonus buys!
0:34:28 > 0:34:32- OK...not stamped at all. - No maker's mark.- No maker's name,
0:34:32 > 0:34:40- In rough condition and very, very, very low-grade quality.- Yes.
0:34:40 > 0:34:44- Adjustable for height.- Yeah. - If we had to say something good.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46- What else is there to say? Not a lot, really.- Not a lot.
0:34:46 > 0:34:50- Estimate 10-20. - Thomas Plant invested £15.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54- So he'll be lucky to make a profit on this.- We'll do our best.- Yeah.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56Well, you can't do any more, Liz, can you?
0:34:56 > 0:35:01- All your years on the rostrum are about to be put to the test. - They certainly are!
0:35:01 > 0:35:02Thank you very much.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15- Now, Nicholas, Michelle...how are you feeling, you two lovebirds?- A little bit nervous.- Are you?- Yeah.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18What have you got to be nervous about, Michelle?
0:35:18 > 0:35:21Showing our faces in the village if we lose!
0:35:21 > 0:35:24- You're not nervous, then, Nick? - No, no, no!
0:35:24 > 0:35:28- You're not nervous, are you?- I'm not a bit nervous, I'm a lot nervous.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31- Are you? Are you petrified? - I'm a very, very lot nervous.- Aw!
0:35:31 > 0:35:35Anyway, first up, though, is your pencil holder and here it comes.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38Early 20th-century little silver-plated pencil holder
0:35:38 > 0:35:42and very pretty it is too. Lots of interest on the book.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45- Must start the bidding at 20. - 20 bid.- Do I hear 22?
0:35:45 > 0:35:47At 20 now. At 22.
0:35:47 > 0:35:51- 25. At 25.- 25.- You paid 25.
0:35:51 > 0:35:55Are there any more bids on the net? At 25, then, and selling.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57All finished, last chance.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01- Well, that's great.- Absolutely. - Taken the words out of my mouth!
0:36:01 > 0:36:02Now the wheelbarrow.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05Like this piece very much. What shall we say, £50 to start?
0:36:05 > 0:36:08Look great in a hallway with some big leather suitcases on it.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10£50 start me off?
0:36:10 > 0:36:13£20, then, £20. Come on!
0:36:13 > 0:36:16Oh, my God!
0:36:16 > 0:36:18£20 is cheap. £20 bid. With the lady at 20.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20- 22.- Oh, dear.- 25.
0:36:20 > 0:36:2128. 30.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24At 30. At 30 in front.
0:36:24 > 0:36:2535.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27Bit more! Go on! God!
0:36:27 > 0:36:31- 45.- Yeah, we're getting there!- 50. 55, sir? 55.
0:36:31 > 0:36:3460. Who's going on, then? At 60, bid seated.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37At 60 in the room, then. Are we all finished ? At 60 in the room.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40- 60 on, then.- One on the net at 65. Thank you, sir.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43- Back in. - 65 with the gentleman, then.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45At 65 and selling, last chance.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50- Oh, dear!- Bad luck there. - Could have been worse.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Always was speculative.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54- Like you say, Michelle, ma belle, it could have been worse.- Yeah.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56Now here comes the football.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58Early 20th-century style leather football.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02Going there with a nice carved hardwood stand. England match ball.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06£10 start me off. 10 with the gentleman at the back.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09Beat you to it on the net at 10. Come on, 12 for the net, is it?
0:37:09 > 0:37:1112 bid seated.
0:37:11 > 0:37:1315. 18, is it? 18.
0:37:13 > 0:37:1620. At 20 bid, standing at 20.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18- Thank you for bidding anyway.- £20.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22At £20, last chance. Selling at 20.
0:37:22 > 0:37:23We made a fiver on that.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26Overall, then, that is minus £50,
0:37:26 > 0:37:29- which could, as you say, have been very much worse. - It could have been worse.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32Anyway, that's fine. So what are we going to do, go with the bonus buy?
0:37:32 > 0:37:36- Definitely!- Stretcher and syringe. - Yeah. - You going to chance your 25 notes?
0:37:36 > 0:37:37We'll trust Philip.
0:37:37 > 0:37:41- Fools! Absolute fools! - This is great! We're going with the bonus buy.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Brass-mounted wooden carpet stretcher.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45You don't see those every day.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48Together with a brass Iron-Am garden pump, £20 to start.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51Two unusual items, £20.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53£20? 10, then, £10.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55£10? Any takers at 10?
0:37:55 > 0:37:57- Oh, no! - Come on, £10!
0:37:57 > 0:37:59Nice quirky items. £5 anywhere?
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Nobody wants them, come on!
0:38:01 > 0:38:04Thank you. At 5 I'm bid. 6. 7 is it?
0:38:04 > 0:38:067 bid, standing at 7 with the lady.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08£28.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10All I'm going to get is £7.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13I'm going to use it to choke myself in a minute!
0:38:13 > 0:38:15Last chance at 7.
0:38:15 > 0:38:20- £7. That is bad luck. - Don't worry, Phil! We forgive you!
0:38:20 > 0:38:24Overall you are minus £78, which doesn't sound too bad.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26It sounds terrible.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29- Well, it could be a winning score, though...- Thank you. - ..Based on today's performance.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33- Say not a word to the Blues, OK? - Not a word.- Good fun. Thank you very much.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Now, Lucy, Clairey, do you know how the Reds got on?
0:38:41 > 0:38:44- No.- Haven't a clue.- Do you not? - No.- No.- That's good.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46We don't want you to know either.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50- Now, Luce, are you feeling nervy at all?- A little.
0:38:50 > 0:38:51Why would that be, then?
0:38:51 > 0:38:55Well, it's just it's all very serious in here, isn't it?
0:38:55 > 0:38:58- Oh, terribly serious! - And we've got very fun pieces.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01You have paid, according to the estimates, exactly the right price.
0:39:01 > 0:39:06Now, let's see whether the auctioneer's estimates are right or not. Here we go.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10Brass, a Veribest brewer's tap, and very best it is.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12Harry Mason, Birmingham, nice brewer's tap.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14- Shall we say £10 to start?- Go on!
0:39:14 > 0:39:18- Must be £10.- Any takers? Fiver, then, do I see 5?
0:39:18 > 0:39:19Come on, come on!
0:39:19 > 0:39:21It's got to be worth a fiver for the brass!
0:39:21 > 0:39:24- Nobody wants it for a fiver? Nice quirky little item.- Lucy!
0:39:24 > 0:39:29- Thank you, sir, at 5.- You've got £5. - At £5, standing at 5.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31This is the Veribest, come on!
0:39:31 > 0:39:33£5 and selling.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37- What happened to the estimate of £10-£20 there?- I know.
0:39:37 > 0:39:42- I know.- I want a refund. - OK, come on. Let's go.- Here we go.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46Very nice 19th-century bronze inkstand, Ruth at the well.
0:39:46 > 0:39:51What shall we say, £50 start me off? £50? £30m then.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55£30, Nice bronze inkstand. She's worth £30 at least.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58No takers at 30. 30 bid at the back, at 30.
0:39:58 > 0:39:5935.
0:39:59 > 0:40:00Come on!
0:40:00 > 0:40:0340. At 40 right at the back now. At 45.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05At 45. 50.
0:40:05 > 0:40:0755. 60.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10- A bit more!- At £60 seated. Any more? - Come on!
0:40:10 > 0:40:13At £60, then, selling at £60, if you're all finished.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16At £60, last chance.
0:40:16 > 0:40:21£60 is minus £40. Oh, girls!
0:40:21 > 0:40:25- Bang goes the high tea! - Let's have the blanket now. The blanket with the leather.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28Useful thing to keep in the car, keeps your rug nice and tidy.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32£10, quirky little thing. Very nice, £10.
0:40:32 > 0:40:36Nice for the vintage collector. £10. 5, then, £5, come on!
0:40:36 > 0:40:39- 5. 6. 7, is it, 7? - All hands up now, awash!
0:40:39 > 0:40:42At 7 with the lady on the right at 7. At 7. Is there 8 anywhere?
0:40:42 > 0:40:46At £7. All done then at 7. 8. New bidder at 8.

0:40:49 > 0:40:51At 10. Bid standing with the gentleman at 10.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54- We've achieved the low estimate. - Selling at 10.
0:40:54 > 0:40:58£10 is minus £6. That's not too bad, girls.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02- That's 49, minus 55. OK, minus 55. - Oh, no!
0:41:02 > 0:41:05I hope the bonus buy brings in, like, millions!
0:41:05 > 0:41:06What are we going to do about this bonus buy?
0:41:06 > 0:41:09- Minus 55 could be a winning score. - Could be a winning score. - Could be a winning score.
0:41:10 > 0:41:14- What are you going to do?- Without touching the stilts.- I want to go for it.- Do it!- Ready for it?- OK.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16We're going with the bonus buy. And here they come.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19Very nice pair of stilts, what shall we say?
0:41:19 > 0:41:22- £10 to start me off.- Go on!
0:41:22 > 0:41:23- Come on!- Stilts for a tenner!
0:41:23 > 0:41:25Fun things to buy, £10.
0:41:25 > 0:41:285, then, do I see 5?
0:41:28 > 0:41:31£5 bid, at 5. 6. At 7, is it? 7.
0:41:31 > 0:41:32At 7, with the lady at 7.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35- At 7, bid standing.- Go on! More! - Any more at £7?
0:41:35 > 0:41:39- Go on!- Last chance.- Oh, no!- 7.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42They were my fave!
0:41:43 > 0:41:44OK...
0:41:44 > 0:41:48That's minus 63.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51Listen, girls, don't despair. It could be a winning score.
0:41:51 > 0:41:55- Don't say a word to the Reds and we will reconvene in a moment, all right?- OK.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Well, well, well, well, well, well, well...
0:42:03 > 0:42:05some days are good days and some days are bad days
0:42:05 > 0:42:08and today is an exceptionally bad day.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10Say that quickly, that's good enough, isn't it?
0:42:10 > 0:42:13So it's no secret that neither of the teams are going home with profits today,
0:42:13 > 0:42:16and that they both made substantial losses,
0:42:16 > 0:42:21but actually there's only £15 worth of losses between them.
0:42:21 > 0:42:27But which team have made marginally less in the way of losses?
0:42:27 > 0:42:30Well, the runners-up today, I'm afraid, are...
0:42:30 > 0:42:33- the Reds!- Oh, no!
0:42:33 > 0:42:37- Their number is minus £78.- Oh!
0:42:39 > 0:42:42- I can't believe it! - You made a profit on your football, which was cool.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44But that is the top and bottom of it.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48- Oh, dear!- All right? Did you have a nice time? - Yeah, brilliant.- Yeah, lovely.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50- You enjoyed yourselves?- Thank you. - It was lovely to see you too.
0:42:50 > 0:42:51But the girls got a victory today.
0:42:51 > 0:42:55- They won by only managing to lose £63.- Yes!
0:42:55 > 0:42:57Our lovely Lucy and our lovely Clairey!
0:42:57 > 0:43:03- Thank you.- You feel good about that, don't you?- Yes! I can show my face at work now!
