0:00:03 > 0:00:05We're at Wetherby Racecourse today.
0:00:05 > 0:00:10Well, everybody needs a day out at the races occasionally.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13But we're not here for the gee-gees. Oh, no! Not us lot!
0:00:13 > 0:00:15Let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:41 > 0:00:45Today, we're at the Great Wetherby Racecourse Antiques Fair,
0:00:45 > 0:00:47where there are hundreds of stands.
0:00:47 > 0:00:52So our teams shouldn't find the going too tough.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55But will they manage to last the course?
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Will they stay in the saddle?
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Let's have a quick squint at what's coming up.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03'The reds know what they want.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06'They're defiant - they want the best prices.'
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Would that be the best price?
0:01:08 > 0:01:14- Could you squeeze a bit more? - No. I don't think we could squeeze anything.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18'And the blues resort to pleading, in order to close a deal.'
0:01:18 > 0:01:23£10. I think that's very fair. I know you've got children to feed!
0:01:23 > 0:01:26'Now, let's go and meet 'em!'
0:01:26 > 0:01:31Today for the reds, we welcome friends Margaret and Julia.
0:01:31 > 0:01:36And for the blues, Sandra and Maurice, who are a married couple.
0:01:36 > 0:01:42- How lovely! Anyway, Margaret. - Hello.- Hi. When did you two meet and become friends?
0:01:42 > 0:01:47We met about eight years ago, in our local choir, Rawcliffe Harmonics.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51- What do you sing?- All sorts of things, light musicals.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55We have been known to do the odd duet, but we were only asked once.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- What are you, a soprano or...? - We're both altos.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02- SINGS NOTE That level.- That's rather good.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06- Margaret, what do you do for a living?- I call myself semi-retired.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Back in the day, I had my own training and development business
0:02:09 > 0:02:12specialising in personal and management development.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- What's this business about biscuits? - Since I took semi-retirement,
0:02:16 > 0:02:18I thought I'd keep myself busy.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23So I started designing and making my own biscuits called "Wittybakes".
0:02:23 > 0:02:26They're supposed to make you smile, some of the names.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28I did bring you some.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31They haven't travelled well. TIM LAUGHS
0:02:31 > 0:02:36- Isn't that kind?- These are musical notes called "Dough Re Mi".
0:02:36 > 0:02:38- There's a pun in the name. - Brilliant.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Julia, what did you do before you retired?
0:02:41 > 0:02:44I was a sub post mistress. Ah.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- Did you enjoy your time as a sub post mistress?- I did.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52I had to sign the Official Secrets Act so I can't tell you anything, really, about anybody!
0:02:52 > 0:02:58- Like what happens with the stamp money?- That's right.- Top secret. - She'd have to kill you!
0:02:58 > 0:03:03How do you fill in your time now you're not signed up to the Official Secrets Act?
0:03:03 > 0:03:06I'm secretary of our local branch of the WI.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09I also belong to the district ladies' luncheon club.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13- Yeah.- I work in a charity shop. I do tai chi.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18- Do you?- My grandchildren call me the gangsta grandma-cum-ninja.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Well, that's quite a compliment.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25- It is.- Do you think you'll get on all right today?- I think so.
0:03:25 > 0:03:30We don't argue, because Julia's always right so I do as I'm told.
0:03:30 > 0:03:36- As long as you all understand what the pecking order is and proceed on that basis.- Exactly.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- Will you look after the money? - Julia's looking after the money.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43- She looks after the money and makes the decisions. - I'll just look decorative.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46- I wish you very, very good luck. - Thank you.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50- Sandra, you're a line dancing fan. Tell us about that.- Yes.
0:03:50 > 0:03:56Six years ago, when I retired, I took up line dancing for exercise.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01- Yes.- It's because it started in January and the nights were dark,
0:04:01 > 0:04:05my husband, being a caring man, wouldn't let me go on my own.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09- Oh, no.- In case some bounder accosted me.- Yeah, quite right.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13So he joined with me and we've been lining ever since.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17Because Maurice is also retired, we share the housework.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21- Maurice cleans.- Does he? - I can't clean.- No, no.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25I have tried but I just can't get the hang of it.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29- Getting a hoover and flicking that switch is too much?- No. Can't do it.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- Cooking, cleaning...- Does he do the shopping?- No.- You do the shopping.
0:04:32 > 0:04:38I shop. We go to the supermarket and there's a little cafe where all these mature gentlemen gather.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42- Yes.- With his friends. What I call "the old man's creche".
0:04:42 > 0:04:47I deposit him there, go round and do my shopping then collect him en route.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- Lovely!- Put him in the trolley and push him to the car.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- Maurice, what's all this about you being a dingo?- Well!
0:04:53 > 0:04:57That's the name of, initially, a skiffle group
0:04:57 > 0:05:00going back to the late '50s.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05- Ah!- We then progressed into rock 'n' roll.- What's your instrument?
0:05:05 > 0:05:10- I played rhythm guitar and I did some of the singing.- Right.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12And you're keen on the footie?
0:05:12 > 0:05:18I've been involved with a non-league semi-professional club Eccleshill United.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21I've been involved with this club for over 30 years.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25Last year, they decided to make myself and my friend Peter
0:05:25 > 0:05:27ambassadors of the club.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31- That's lovely, isn't it? Generally smooth the way.- Absolutely.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35Are you going to be in charge of smoothing the way on Bargain Hunt?
0:05:35 > 0:05:38I think my wife will be in charge of the money.
0:05:38 > 0:05:43- In charge of the money.- We've both got ideas of what we want to buy.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46- You'll get on all right?- Absolutely. - You won't fall out?- No, no.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- There won't be blows? - No! No bloodshed or anything!
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- No bloodshed or anything.- Smashing. Talking about money.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Here comes the do-re-mi.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58- Yes? There is your £300 apiece. - Thank you.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02You know the rules. Your experts await. And off you go!
0:06:02 > 0:06:04And very, very, very good luck.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06'So, who's helping the teams today?
0:06:08 > 0:06:10'Hoping to lick the reds into shape:
0:06:12 > 0:06:15'Keeping the blues in tune:
0:06:17 > 0:06:21'So £300, an hour to shop - let's go to it!'
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- We'd like something pretty.- Pretty. - Something sparkling.- Sparkly.
0:06:24 > 0:06:29- Jewellery, silver, anything that's going to make us money!- Absolutely!
0:06:29 > 0:06:31We'd better get started. This way.
0:06:31 > 0:06:36'Money's the name of the game, Sandra, but beware, the time goes very, very quickly.'
0:06:36 > 0:06:42- We'll get the first one. It's a cushion then, isn't it? - Are we going in here?
0:06:42 > 0:06:46'It seems the reds have spotted a nice pair of spill holders.'
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- Shall I get these out? - They're quite nice.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- They're sweet.- Quite nice.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- What sort of age are they? - 1907, 1908, Chester.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- Right.- It's helpfully on the label.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01THEY LAUGH What price are they?
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- 45 would be the absolute death. - 45.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- Can we think about that? - Course we can.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11We've only been shopping for a minute.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15'With just 60 seconds on the clock, there is plenty of time to think.
0:07:15 > 0:07:21'Meanwhile, a coloured jug and glasses have caught the blues' beady eyes.'
0:07:21 > 0:07:24It's nicely made. It's got a wee bit of age.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27But usually we have six of these tumblers.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31- For it to make anything...- We need six.- ..we'd need the complete set.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- No.- Don't like that.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37That's an old one, isn't it?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41- Does it leap out at you?- Not really.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45'After considerable rummaging, the reds spot a familiar face.'
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Charlie Chaplin's quite fun.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49TAPPING
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Is it in one piece? RINGING
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- He's a character jug.- Yeah.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00You don't see many things of Charlie Chaplin. How much can he be?
0:08:00 > 0:08:0435? Would that be the best price? Could you do anything for us?
0:08:04 > 0:08:07< I'll go 30. Hm. What do you think?
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Go on! What's the death on this? What's the absolute rock bottom?
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- < 25, then. That's it. - Is that it?
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Can I have a look?
0:08:16 > 0:08:20There are lots of people who collect Charlie Chaplin.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Is this a replica?
0:08:22 > 0:08:24< It's quite old.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- 20 and it's a deal.- 20?
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Done? He says 20 and it's a deal.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35- Shall we do it for 20? - I reckon 20 and a deal.- OK.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37We'll have it for 20, thank you. >
0:08:37 > 0:08:42'Well done, ladies. Oh, Charlie! You've made your first purchase.
0:08:42 > 0:08:47'Left out in the cold, the blues decide it may be time for tea.'
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- What age is this Picquot? - It's from the '60s.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52The latter part of the 20th century.
0:08:52 > 0:08:58What I like about Picquotware is that it makes a wonderful cup of tea.
0:08:58 > 0:09:04I have one at home, but it's wonderful 20th-century design.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08- Look at the sleek lines. Everything is in harmony.- They're well made.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11This was made out of aluminium.
0:09:11 > 0:09:17- It was a by-product of the aircraft industry.- Oh, right.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Let's have a look inside the pot.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23It looks as if it's never been used.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27There's £55 on it.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31- Can you go to anywhere about 30ish? - < I could do 45.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35Can you do 40 for us? < I can't. I'll knock it £1 under to 44.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39ANITA LAUGHS < It might make 45.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43- It could be the difference between...- Winning and losing! - Making a profit.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45What do you think, Anita, at 44?
0:09:45 > 0:09:47I think it's a consideration.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50We've got a chance cos it's a nice clean one.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52We've got five pieces there.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56- The design carries it through. - It does.- This is a design classic.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59I like it.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- We'll do 44 on this.- OK. - Is that all right, Anita?- Yes.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07- I think so.- Right, sir. Shake hands. Thank you very much, indeed.
0:10:07 > 0:10:12'Congratulations, blues. You, too, now have bargain number one under your belt.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16'Time for Thomas to make a plan of action.'
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Do you want to go inside or go into the paddock?
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- Could we have a look inside? - We'll have a look inside.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26- Let's see some silver. - Absolutely. Let's have a look.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29'Good idea. It's very, very cold out here today.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34'The reds give Thomas a penny for his thoughts on this tiny novelty globe.'
0:10:34 > 0:10:39- That's pretty.- It's fun, isn't it? - It's unusual.- A penny.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43- 1955. That dates it.- Right, and what sort of price is that?
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- < I'll do it for 60 for you. - Thank you for that.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49I don't know if, in the cold light of auction,
0:10:49 > 0:10:51that would make the money.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54'You never know, Thomas, it might attract global attention!
0:10:54 > 0:10:58'What have those blues hunted down in this antique jungle?'
0:10:58 > 0:11:01It's unusual because it's like a crocodile.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04It's got the mouth. What do you think of it?
0:11:06 > 0:11:09I don't know if there's any great age to it.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Vestas are popular things to collect
0:11:12 > 0:11:15because there's a huge variety
0:11:15 > 0:11:20and you can put them in a nice bijouterie case and they look lovely.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24The vestas that tend to make the best money, of course, are silver.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27But also silver ones in an unusual design.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31- Do you like crocodiles?- Yeah. No. But I quite like vestas.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35I think that's good fun. Maurice, what do you think?
0:11:35 > 0:11:37No, I'm not keen.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- LAUGHS - Tell me why you don't like it.
0:11:40 > 0:11:46Because I'd prefer it in silver. What sort of money would we be looking at?
0:11:46 > 0:11:48It'd need to be a low price.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- Ten? 20? - I had 35 on that.
0:11:51 > 0:11:56- Can I tell you what I think would be the right price to buy it at?- Go on.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58£10, £12?
0:11:58 > 0:12:02- Could we buy it for ten quid? - You're breaking me heart there!
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- Just a minute... - SNIFFS
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- Am I breaking YOUR heart as well? - Yes!
0:12:08 > 0:12:11£10, I think that's very fair.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- Do you think that's fair? - Not really.- Ah!
0:12:14 > 0:12:19- What about 15?- Ten sounds lovely. - Give me a little bit of profit then.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21I think that's fair all round.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Wouldn't push it to 12, would you?
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- I know you've got children to feed. - LAUGHING: Yeah!
0:12:27 > 0:12:31- And a wife to keep in Gucci shoes! - LAUGHTER
0:12:31 > 0:12:36- That won't keep her in Gucci shoes! - It might buy her a handkerchief.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39I think we'd buy that for £12.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- Go on, then.- Ah!
0:12:42 > 0:12:46- You're breaking my heart! - I feel you'll get over it!
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Thank you very much indeed.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52'Hurrah! That's item number two for the blues. Well done.
0:12:52 > 0:12:58'The reds are still sniffing around inside and have spotted a perfume bottle.'
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- What do you like about this? - I think it's very pretty.
0:13:01 > 0:13:07It's very girly. It looks as if it's quite nicely made and cut.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09It's got a complete stopper.
0:13:09 > 0:13:14- Yeah, but it is cracked in there. - Yeah.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17It's not like the Charlie Chaplin thing,
0:13:17 > 0:13:21a bit rough around the edges because it's so rare.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24The fact that this isn't so rare, I would not go for this.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28- Did you see anything else?- Yeah. - I like the biscuit barrel.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33- Who spotted this? - We did it together.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36- We did.- Does this fall into your criteria
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- of glass and silver?- It does for me.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- The two together.- Yeah.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45I like the handle. It's a bit Art Deco.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Well, it's a bit Edwardiana.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51The glass, this is a real sort of opaline,
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- almost like a Burmese glass.- Right.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01- And it's Walker & Hall.- Oh, right. They're good.- Good maker.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- There's no damage, I don't think. - Almost Burmese.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Probably is Burmese.
0:14:06 > 0:14:11Burmese glass had this really nice satin feel to it.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13It's certainly got it.
0:14:13 > 0:14:18- So it was the glass and the quality? - Yeah.- The silver and glass together.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20- £38. - Could you do us anything better?
0:14:20 > 0:14:25I would do that for 30. £30. You couldn't go any lower? >
0:14:25 > 0:14:28No, I couldn't. It's a good price.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30- 30.- Yeah.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34- I think we'll go for that.- Yeah. - You want to go for that?- We do.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- Second item down. - Thank you very much.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40'That's bargain number two in the bag for the reds.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44'Quite appropriate for our biscuit-making friend Margaret, eh?
0:14:44 > 0:14:47'With 30 minutes gone, how are our teams feeling?'
0:14:48 > 0:14:52We've spent £50 so we've got lots left.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55But we've got two really nice items with those.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59- But we've got to get something now that hits you!- A real wow factor!
0:14:59 > 0:15:04Maurice doesn't seem to have had his say, so we'll have to let him have his head on this one.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06- Yes.- But it's been brilliant so far.
0:15:06 > 0:15:11'So each team needs just one more bargain.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14'Anita knows a Moorcroft lover when she sees one.'
0:15:14 > 0:15:18- You are a guy who loves Moorcroft. - I am.- He does, indeed.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21'But Anita's spotted a problem with one piece.'
0:15:21 > 0:15:25- What kind of price is on this? - 120. >
0:15:25 > 0:15:27You've got crazing here.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29If you're going to pay some money for Moorcroft,
0:15:29 > 0:15:31you've got to get it right.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35'Also heading inside from the cold,
0:15:35 > 0:15:38'the blues are hunting that elusive final bargain
0:15:38 > 0:15:42'and have decided to split up to cover more ground.'
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- Don't buy something you like. - No. No. OK.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49- I'll go and look over here. - Goodbye.- See you in five minutes.
0:15:49 > 0:15:54'With the girls out of the way, Maurice is looking for a Moorcroft specialist.'
0:15:54 > 0:15:56I really, really want some Moorcroft.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59- Yeah? What kind? - I haven't got a clue.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02This lady's husband is desperate to spend
0:16:02 > 0:16:05all our money on a piece of Moorcroft.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08He's over there. He's fallen in love with Moorcroft,
0:16:08 > 0:16:12so we decided to let him have his head. Yes.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16'Setting out to find an item with a wow factor,
0:16:16 > 0:16:20'the reds have stumbled across a military whistle.'
0:16:20 > 0:16:21I like that.
0:16:21 > 0:16:26These screws would have been on a lanyard on your breastplate.
0:16:26 > 0:16:31- That's pretty.- You unclip it there. - It's a whistle. Does it work?
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- WHISTLES It does! A call for help.- Yeah.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36That's actually quite nice.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40I love the work to it here. What's that got to be?
0:16:40 > 0:16:43I'm afraid I'm looking for about the 400 mark.
0:16:43 > 0:16:48- From the sublime to the ridiculous! - We haven't got that.- No, I haven't.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50'No, you haven't, Julia,
0:16:50 > 0:16:54'but you still have a lot of money and time's still ticking away.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56'How's Maurice getting on with his Moorcroft mission?'
0:16:56 > 0:16:59180. It's Pomegranate. It's early.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02It's about 1920. It's a William Moorcroft piece.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05- Let's go a little bit higher than that, then.- Right.
0:17:05 > 0:17:11That bowl is Orchid, signed Walter Moorcroft.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Potter to Her Majesty the Queen.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Post 1928, when they got the royal warrant.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22- I've got 275 on that. - Can I negotiate on that?
0:17:22 > 0:17:24The very best I can do on that's 200.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28- Right.- I can't do better than that. - You can't?
0:17:28 > 0:17:32They're Moorcroft, signed, 1914. I could do those at 220.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35- Really?- Yes. They are fabulous.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39'Oh! That's a thinking face, Maurice, if ever I saw one.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42'How are Thomas and the reds getting on?
0:17:42 > 0:17:45'Seems he might be in a reflective mood.'
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- The guilloche enamel mirror.- Yeah.
0:17:48 > 0:17:53Very nice. Lovely quality. 1930s, Art Deco.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57These go as a set? It does, but I can split it.
0:17:57 > 0:18:02If you want to, you can go for the mirror. It's hallmarked silver.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05STALL HOLDER: It is London. MARGARET: Pretty, isn't it?
0:18:05 > 0:18:10Nice guilloche enamel, that lovely engine turning.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- What can that be? - That can be 150.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Just the mirror or for the two? For the mirror.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20To complement it, we can pop the brush in at a price of...
0:18:20 > 0:18:23It is all silver as well. ..at 30 for the brush.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28- You couldn't do the two for 150? - Well... - That would be nice.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32- Who's asking me? The ladies? - We are pleading with you!
0:18:32 > 0:18:35And you couldn't squeeze just a little bit more?
0:18:35 > 0:18:39No. I don't think we could squeeze anything.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42- They're charming, aren't they? - They are.- I can't possibly say no.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44It's yours.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- It's a really good colour. - I think that's pretty.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50150 is still quite punchy.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54You couldn't knock another tenner off?
0:18:54 > 0:18:57If we ask very nicely?
0:18:57 > 0:19:02LAUGHING: I've just been offered 150 then there's another tenner off.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05- She's trying! - I am very trying, yes.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09But look how beautiful it is! Well, I know!
0:19:09 > 0:19:12- The mirror IS good.- That's the deal.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16145, and I shouldn't do it cos we had shaken hands.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19We didn't actually shake hands, did we?
0:19:19 > 0:19:24- I'll gift wrap it in a plastic bag for you. Done. We're happy with 145?- Yes.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27145. 145 and we have a deal.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30And I wish you very well. Thank you.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34'Congratulations, reds. That's your shopping completed.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36'Three bargains ready to take to auction.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40'The blues must make one more purchase and with time ticking away,
0:19:40 > 0:19:42'we're down to the last five minutes.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45'Moorcroft-loving Maurice seems happy.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47'What does Anita make of his find?'
0:19:47 > 0:19:51The Orchid pattern is just mouth-watering.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55- It's beautiful.- Martin has a price on that, Anita, of...
0:19:55 > 0:20:00275. And he said he'd do it for 200.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02MAURICE: What do you think, San?
0:20:02 > 0:20:06Sandra wants you to have a piece of Moorcroft.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10- Because she's your darling and she loves you.- She is and I love her.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14What I would say is that in terms of rarity,
0:20:14 > 0:20:18- they are much more rare. - I like those.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Now, what I would like to happen,
0:20:20 > 0:20:25- and I think your wife is in agreement with this...- Yes.
0:20:25 > 0:20:30- These are both good buys.- Yes. - I want you to choose.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- I'd like to buy that one. - The choice is yours, love.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Say it in a more smiley way.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39- CLEARS THROAT - The choice is yours!
0:20:39 > 0:20:41ANITA LAUGHS
0:20:41 > 0:20:45- Can we shake hands with Martin on that, Anita?- I am ecstatic.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49Martin, thank you. Thank you, sir.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52'OK, time's up. Hats off to both teams.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55'Let's remind ourselves what the reds bought.
0:20:55 > 0:21:01'First, up, they bagged this Charlie Chaplin character jug.
0:21:01 > 0:21:06'A satin glass biscuit barrel was snapped up for an air-tight £30.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09'And they had a brush with Art Deco
0:21:09 > 0:21:15'when they found this silver and pink enamel dressing table combo.'
0:21:17 > 0:21:20- Did you have a good time? - Really enjoyed it.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24- It's lovely to go round with Tom. - Fabulous.- Did you get any extra information?
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Oh, loads. Yes. He's very knowledgeable.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29- He's full of chat, isn't he?- Yes.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- How much did you spend? - We spent 195?- Yes.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35That's good. That's a proud amount of money.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39- Not bad.- Who's got the 105 of leftover?- I have.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42- Thank you very much, Julia.- Yes.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46- Which is your favourite piece? - I think the biscuit barrel.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49- Do you agree with that? - I like the biscuit barrel.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- And will it bring the biggest profit?- I'm not so sure.
0:21:52 > 0:21:57- Thomas advised us to buy a Charlie Chaplin mug.- Yes.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00He thinks it's going to do really well, so that might be the best one.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03For profit. Do you agree with that, Julia?
0:22:03 > 0:22:07- No. I think the biscuit barrel. - Fine. You stick with your biscuit barrel.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- LAUGHTER - Anyway, there we go. £105, Tom.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14- That's enough to get going with. - Absolutely. Lots to get going with.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17And you like to get going. So get going!
0:22:17 > 0:22:20And we're going to check out what the blue team bought.
0:22:20 > 0:22:26'They bought a Picquotware tea service with matching tray.
0:22:26 > 0:22:31'A brass vesta case embossed with a crocodile was snapped up.
0:22:31 > 0:22:37'Finally, this sumptuous Moorcroft pottery bowl set them back £200.'
0:22:38 > 0:22:43- Which is your favourite piece? - My favourite piece is the little brass vesta.
0:22:43 > 0:22:48- Does the husband agree? - No, but he never has in 33 years. I don't think he'll start now.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52That's the trouble with it. What is your opinion as to the favourite piece?
0:22:52 > 0:22:56My favourite piece is the Moorcroft plate.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00- And is that going to bring the biggest profit?- Absolutely. Yes.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Right. What's your opinion for the biggest profit, please?
0:23:03 > 0:23:07- My little brass vesta.- That's going to bring the biggest profit?- Yes.
0:23:07 > 0:23:12- How much did you spend altogether? - £256.- That is a lovely amount, 256.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15- Can I have 44, please? - You certainly can.- Thank you.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18There's the four onesers and all those notes.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21- Across to your FAVOURITE expert? - Oh, my word, yes!
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Wee Anita, what are you going to spend 44 smacks on?
0:23:24 > 0:23:28Well, we developed a wee theme at the end
0:23:28 > 0:23:31- and I might just stick to that theme.- Ooh.
0:23:31 > 0:23:36- Well, that's nice then, isn't it? - That's intriguing.- Good luck!
0:23:36 > 0:23:42We're heading off to a place that sounds as if a lot of cakes ought to have come from it.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48'Kiplin Hall is set in the beautiful vale of Mowbray
0:23:48 > 0:23:52'in North Yorkshire, nestled between the Yorkshire Moors
0:23:52 > 0:23:54'and the Yorkshire Dales.'
0:23:54 > 0:24:02Built by George Calvert in the 1620s, who was Secretary of State to James I, no less,
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Kiplin Hall is an exceedingly fine house.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07For a kick-off,
0:24:07 > 0:24:10it's the only brick-built Jacobean house in Yorkshire.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14If you think it looks drop-dead gorgeous from outside,
0:24:14 > 0:24:16well, just follow me.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Kiplin Hall flourished in the 18th century
0:24:28 > 0:24:31under the ownership of the Crowe family.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35Christopher Crowe here was something of a wheeler-dealer.
0:24:35 > 0:24:40Early in the century, he was the British Consul in Livorno, Italy,
0:24:40 > 0:24:45selling wine and olive oil, for example, to the British navy.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49Some of the art Crowe bought in Italy
0:24:49 > 0:24:52is still on display at Kiplin today.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58Following Christopher Crowe's death in 1749,
0:24:58 > 0:25:01the house was inherited by his son,
0:25:01 > 0:25:03who was also called Christopher Crowe.
0:25:03 > 0:25:09It's quite likely that Christopher Crowe junior remodelled this room.
0:25:09 > 0:25:14It very much has the feel of a mid to late 18th-century drawing room.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18The purpose of a withdrawing room was to show off
0:25:18 > 0:25:20your very best possessions.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24By far the very best piece of furniture in this room
0:25:24 > 0:25:29is this cabinet, known as the Crowe cabinet.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33Thomas Chippendale was a Yorkshireman born in Otley,
0:25:33 > 0:25:37and he would be the likely maker for this thing.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41The top section is capped by a pediment.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45The pediment is centred by this cartouche,
0:25:45 > 0:25:48and this cartouche is pure rococo.
0:25:48 > 0:25:54There's a grotto entrance here with stalactites and stalagmites,
0:25:54 > 0:25:58dripping, oozing gothic-ness.
0:25:58 > 0:26:04Capping the pediment at each corner are these exquisite finials.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07And that's just the top of the thing.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11Move down to the guts of it, the cabinet itself,
0:26:11 > 0:26:13and you've got a tabernacle door.
0:26:13 > 0:26:18Open the tabernacle door and it reveals inside...
0:26:18 > 0:26:20absolutely nothing.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24Because this thing is entirely made for show.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28What it does is to display to perfection
0:26:28 > 0:26:31these lovely pietra dura panels.
0:26:31 > 0:26:37What's pietra dura? Literally, inlaid hard and polished stones.
0:26:37 > 0:26:43In this case, they make up a series of architectural exteriors.
0:26:43 > 0:26:50This is an Italian villa that might have stood on the plain outside Rome
0:26:50 > 0:26:55and it's been composed entirely of different little bits of stone
0:26:55 > 0:26:58that have been put together like a jigsaw.
0:26:58 > 0:27:03Little bits of onyx, little bits of marble, purple marble,
0:27:03 > 0:27:06all incredibly complicated.
0:27:06 > 0:27:11The middle panel shows an imaginary fort,
0:27:11 > 0:27:13a bit like a Martello tower.
0:27:13 > 0:27:18We've got little holes here, out of which cannon would protrude,
0:27:18 > 0:27:23and indeed, little cannon set out on the ramparts.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26The skill required in selecting these stones
0:27:26 > 0:27:29and making them work harmoniously together
0:27:29 > 0:27:32is a considerable achievement.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36The big question today for our teams at the auction is,
0:27:36 > 0:27:40how great is their achievement about to be?
0:27:40 > 0:27:43'We're off to Tennants saleroom in Leyburn,
0:27:43 > 0:27:48'where I'm going to have a chat about our teams' items with auctioneer Jeremy Pattison.'
0:27:48 > 0:27:52We've got some wacky goods here, like this Charlie Chaplin jug.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Which I suppose went in a pub
0:27:54 > 0:27:58on a bar as a novelty for the whisky and water?
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Possibly. It looks like it's been used as that.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03- It's got the look, though, hasn't it?- But crude.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06It isn't wonderful quality, I'm afraid.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10Probably mid, early 20th century, but mass-produced.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13- What's your estimate? - 15, £25, if we're lucky.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16- That's perfectly all right. £20 paid.- Hm.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19I mean, the team aren't going to complain with that.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Next is this so-called satin glass biscuit barrel.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26- Do you like that?- I think it's pretty. It's a bit different.
0:28:26 > 0:28:31Silver-plated mounts, but it is a biscuit barrel, so limited appeal.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34- OK. How much for it? - Maybe 40, £50 on a good day.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37£30 paid, so they might make a small profit on that.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41And then...a puzzle. A puzzle to ME.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45Why are there only two pieces in this silver and enamel dressing table set?
0:28:45 > 0:28:50- It's a top-quality silver job. - It's very nice. Yes.- And in pink.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53But you'd normally have well, at least four brushes
0:28:53 > 0:28:56and the mirror, which we've got.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00- Maybe a pin box. There'd be a whole lot.- Yes. Certainly.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03- But nice condition. Pink enamel, very pretty.- How much?
0:29:03 > 0:29:07- Maybe around £70 or so. - Well, they paid 145.- Right.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10- Which is a lot, isn't it? - For the two-piece set, yeah.
0:29:10 > 0:29:16That's going to be their problem, so let's have a look at the bonus buy.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19Mags, Jules, this is your moment.
0:29:19 > 0:29:25You spent 195. You gave Tomato £105. Thomas, show us what you bought.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28- It's VERY small.- Is it?
0:29:28 > 0:29:31- My goodness! It is small! - It is tiny.
0:29:32 > 0:29:36- Look at that!- An earring! - It's not an earring! It's a pendant.
0:29:36 > 0:29:41- That's very pretty.- Isn't it pretty? It's a lovely pendant from China.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44- Oh, that is nice. - Bit of jade and a bit of gold.
0:29:44 > 0:29:49- And what does...? There's a symbol in there.- Yes, the symbol.
0:29:49 > 0:29:53I don't know. Probably means good luck, something like that.
0:29:53 > 0:29:58- Do you know what sort of age it is? - I would say pre-war or just post.
0:29:58 > 0:30:03It's not that old, I have to say, but the jade is tremendously old.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05The translucency of the jade
0:30:05 > 0:30:09is a really good sign of good quality jade.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11And how much did you pay for this?
0:30:11 > 0:30:15The thing is, you don't worry about little minute details
0:30:15 > 0:30:18- about how much I spent on them! - You spent a lot.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21- 105.- Oooh! You spent the lot?
0:30:21 > 0:30:25I spent the lot but, I have to say, however,
0:30:25 > 0:30:30I've been selling jade in my saleroom for mega, mega money.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32I reckon there's got to be a profit.
0:30:32 > 0:30:37Anyway, that's the decision that you make after the sale of your first three items.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41Right now, let's see what the auctioneer thinks about Tom's pendant.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45Here we go. Do you rate those things?
0:30:45 > 0:30:48The problem is, it possibly is gold.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51I think there's a stamp on there, 14k.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53But I would think it's very modern
0:30:53 > 0:30:57and something produced in big quantities.
0:30:57 > 0:31:02Whether it's even jade. I would have to sell that as jadeite, to be careful.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06- It is, in my opinion, of modern date.- Brand harry spankers?
0:31:06 > 0:31:09- I think so.- What's the amount? - Cautious because of its date.
0:31:09 > 0:31:14- £40, £60. - OK. £105 was paid by the Planter.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18With any luck, the team will decide not to take it.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Anyway, that's it for the reds.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Now, for the blues, who've got a mixture, look.
0:31:23 > 0:31:28- The Picquotware tea set and tray. - Yes.- Stylish.- Retro, again.
0:31:28 > 0:31:33Complete, but something which most households in Britain had.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36So they're not exceptionally rare. They turn up most weeks at auction.
0:31:36 > 0:31:41It's funny, isn't it, because it was so popular in the '50s or early '60s
0:31:41 > 0:31:44- when that thing was made.- Yes. - It's got the style.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47- They ought to make quite a lot of money but they don't.- No.
0:31:47 > 0:31:53They've been up to £70 or £100, but I think they've settled down to 30 to 50 for the set.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57OK, £44 paid by our lot. They might just get there.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01- The brass vesta case is fun, isn't it?- It is.- Old crocodile.
0:32:01 > 0:32:06Just a base metal brass, but nicely decorated. Flowers are stylised.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09Certainly collectors for vesta cases.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12- What's your best estimate on that? - £15? £25?
0:32:12 > 0:32:16OK, fine. Well, £12 paid, so they'll be well happy with that.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20And lastly, their big-ticket number is the Moorcroft bowl.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23- It's a name to be reckoned with. - It is, yes.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26The problem is it's a crossover between
0:32:26 > 0:32:29William and Walter Moorcroft in date,
0:32:29 > 0:32:32with the spring flowers around the edge.
0:32:32 > 0:32:37For purists who want William Moorcroft that might not appeal.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40I can't quite understand what the condition is.
0:32:40 > 0:32:44It has got a bit of a dull ring to it, I'm afraid, Tim.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46- There may be a hairline crack. - There could be. Yeah.
0:32:46 > 0:32:51The trouble is, restorers can do little spray jobs it's difficult to tell.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53It is, and for the purists, the collector,
0:32:53 > 0:32:57- they really want things in perfect condition.- OK, fine.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59- How much?- £100 to £150.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02- Ooh!- Might squeeze a bit more.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05- £200 paid.- Might be tough.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08Let's go and have a look at the bonus buy.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11Now, Maurice, Sandra, this is your moment.
0:33:11 > 0:33:16You gave Anita Manning £44 of leftover lolly.
0:33:16 > 0:33:21I'm helping her out here. Anita, I'll take off your rag, darling...
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Whoopsie! ..if you take off mine.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25- There!- Wow!- Ooh!
0:33:25 > 0:33:31- How good is that?- Beautiful blue. - Well, I knew that you loved blue.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35- You were drawn to blue things throughout all of our buy.- Yes.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39- I thought, "Well, are these blue enough for you?"- And I like glass.
0:33:39 > 0:33:43- And you like glass as well. - Is there any age to these, Anita?
0:33:43 > 0:33:46Yeah. They may be from the 1940s or '50s, maybe.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49And...? Combien? How much did you pay?
0:33:49 > 0:33:54- £35.- Oh! And can you see a massive profit or a profit?
0:33:54 > 0:33:58They're not going to go into three figures,
0:33:58 > 0:34:00but they're big, they're bonnie,
0:34:00 > 0:34:02- they're blue. - And they're lovely.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06- And there is some quality to this overlaid glass.- Yes.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08I like these, Anita.
0:34:08 > 0:34:13- I think that we have a chance with them.- I think they're lovely.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16- Have a wee look. They're heavy. - Very heavy.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19You be careful, now. We don't want any chips and marks.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22- There's no chips. - Do you like them?- I do.- I love them.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24You both love them. Excellent.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27Well done, Anita. Give yourself a round of applause.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30- Everyone seems to be happy, which is what we like.- Yes.
0:34:30 > 0:34:35Now, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Anita's glass vases.
0:34:35 > 0:34:40- Cor! These are blue, aren't they, Jeremy?- A nice pair of blue vases.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42- They are cut glass, aren't they? - Yes.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45Quite nice quality. Bit of wear on the feet.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48- They might have been made when? '50s?- Yes.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51They might have a bit of age. There's some wear to the base.
0:34:51 > 0:34:56- But some little nibbles around the top, I think.- OK. How much?
0:34:56 > 0:34:59I would think £30, £50 for the pair.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02£35 paid by that cunning monkey Anita.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05All right, fine. It's blue. It's for the blue team.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09And we're going to have to hope for the best. Good luck on the rostrum.
0:35:10 > 0:35:1460, 70, 80, 90, 100. Shall I sell it?
0:35:14 > 0:35:17- Mags, Jules, how are you feeling? - Excited.- Yes.
0:35:17 > 0:35:22- Feeling a bit nervous, Julia? - Well, yes. Anticipation, really.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25- You know.- It's rather nice, isn't it?- It is.- Yes.
0:35:25 > 0:35:29- How are you feeling, Mags? - Very excited. A lot of people here.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31A LOT of people. It's crowded out.
0:35:31 > 0:35:36This auctioneer goes like greased lightning. Nobody's hanging about.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39First up is the Charlie Chaplin character jug.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42For you collectors, £20 for the jug?
0:35:42 > 0:35:4620? Ten? Bid. £10 at the back. 15. 20.

0:35:53 > 0:35:55- Look! - 35 on my right.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59Any advance on this? For the last time. 35 will take it.
0:35:59 > 0:36:05- £35. That is plus £15.- Well done, Thomas.- Well done, Thomas.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08A pretty little satin glass biscuit barrel
0:36:08 > 0:36:11with the blossom and the silver-plated mounts.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15It is nice this. Give me 40. 30 bid.
0:36:15 > 0:36:1830 in the room. Thank you. 40. 50, sir?

0:36:23 > 0:36:25Bit different. 90?
0:36:25 > 0:36:28- £90 I'm bid in the front row. - Yes!- Well done, girls.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32Any further bids on this? For the last time at 90.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36- You made £60 profit. Look at these girls!- A bottle of champagne!
0:36:36 > 0:36:38We're going to lose it now!
0:36:38 > 0:36:42An Art Deco silver and pink enamel hand mirror and the clothes brush.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45Good bit of silver. Bid 50 on this. Got two bids on this.
0:36:45 > 0:36:4860. 70. 80. 90.
0:36:48 > 0:36:52100. £100 I'm bid. Silver buyers! At 100.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55Give me ten, madam. 100, the gentleman's bid in the corner.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58Any advance on this? I'll let it go at £100.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01- BOTH GROAN - £100 is minus 45.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04But that leaves you plus 30.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07- That's not bad! River cruise! - Overall £30.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10- A couple of bottles! - Cheap river cruise.
0:37:10 > 0:37:16When are you setting off up the Rhine? That's what I want to know.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19- That is brilliant, though. £30. - That's very nice.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23What are you going to do with this jadeite pendant?
0:37:23 > 0:37:27- Are you going to keep your £30? - ASIDE:- Keep the 30!
0:37:27 > 0:37:30- I think we'll keep the 30. - Really?- Yes.
0:37:30 > 0:37:34- Not that we don't trust Thomas. - I think it's a very good idea.- Yes.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38- That's the final decision from both of you?- Bank the 30?- Yes.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41- We'll bank the 30. - You don't need to phone anybody? No?
0:37:41 > 0:37:43We're definitely not going with the bonus buy,
0:37:43 > 0:37:46but we're going to sell it anyway and here it comes.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50Chinese jadeite pendant in a gold circle mount stamped 14k.

0:37:59 > 0:38:02Any advance on this? The bid seated on my left.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05For the last time. The gent's bid. £40 will take it.
0:38:05 > 0:38:10- CONTESTANTS: Oh! - Anyway, you did the right thing.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12- Yeah.- Bad luck, Thomas.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16Now, £30 could be a winning score, so don't say a thing to the blues.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20- Certainly not.- You have done magnificently. Well done.
0:38:20 > 0:38:21Thank you.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33- Now, Sandra, Maurice, do you know how the reds got on?- No.- No.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35- No?- No. They never spoke.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39They never spoke. Did they look gloomy or did they look positive?
0:38:39 > 0:38:43- They just looked...- Stony. - ..expressionless.- Did they?- Yes.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47- They're two professional women.- Yes. - You just can't tell, can you?
0:38:47 > 0:38:51Anyway, all will be revealed in a moment. First up, then,
0:38:51 > 0:38:55is the Picquotware tea set and here it comes.
0:38:55 > 0:38:59The stylish four-piece Picquotware tea service and a matching tray.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02Two commission bids on that so I'll start at £30 offered.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05Picquotware at 30. 40. 50.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08Any advance on £50? Been polished up as well.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10Any advance on 50? 60 anywhere, the Picquotware?
0:39:10 > 0:39:14For the last time. It's my bid. £50 will take it.
0:39:14 > 0:39:20Perfect! Plus £6, that's very good. Well done, Anita. A big relief!
0:39:20 > 0:39:25The brass vesta case ebonised with a crocodile. Bit different there.
0:39:25 > 0:39:29Vesta case. £20? Bit different. £10 bid only.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31£10. 15. 20. Five.

0:39:39 > 0:39:42Any advance on this? 35 will take it.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44- Yes!- Well done!
0:39:44 > 0:39:49£23 profit, making a running total of £29. Now, the Moorcroft.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53Decent sized piece of Moorcroft. Give me £100 to start.
0:39:53 > 0:39:57100, surely. 50 I am bid. £50 I am bid for the Moorcroft.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00Any advance on 50? 60. 70.
0:40:00 > 0:40:0380. 90. 100. £100 I am bid at the back.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07Any advance on 100? Give me ten. At £100 for the Moorcroft.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10- Any advance? Gent's bid. - Uh-oh!
0:40:10 > 0:40:11£100 will take it.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13ALL GROAN
0:40:13 > 0:40:18- Did he sell it for £100?- Yes.- £100?!
0:40:18 > 0:40:21That's a £100-loss, that. Oh, kids!
0:40:21 > 0:40:25- Minus 71.- Oh, dear. - That's not good, is it?- No.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29- What are we going to do about this bonus buy?- We're going with it.
0:40:29 > 0:40:33- Those blue pots?- Yes.- Ooh, I'm still numb with shock, aren't you?- Yes.
0:40:33 > 0:40:38Anyway, there we go. That's the luck of the auction, isn't it?
0:40:38 > 0:40:42We're going with the bonus buy. Smashing. That decision is made.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44£35 was invested by Anita.
0:40:44 > 0:40:48The auctioneer thinks they're worth between £30 and £50.
0:40:48 > 0:40:54If he's right and a bit more and a bit of a tickle you might just get out of trouble. Here we go.
0:40:54 > 0:41:00A pair of blue overlay cut-glass vases. Nice quality these are.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03Got interest on these on commission. I'll start at 20.
0:41:03 > 0:41:0630. 40. 50. 60. For the pair. At £60.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08- £60, Anita! - Any more bids?
0:41:08 > 0:41:1170, new bidder. 80. 90.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14£90 at the back. Any advance? Lady's bid, standing.
0:41:14 > 0:41:18For the last time, going to sell them at 90.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21- Yes!- That is what we need!
0:41:21 > 0:41:25That's what we call a bonus buy! That's why the woman's so clever.
0:41:25 > 0:41:29Would that be 55? That's £55 profit.
0:41:29 > 0:41:3455 off 71... 60... That's 11...
0:41:34 > 0:41:37- That's minus 16 is where you stand. - MAURICE GROANS
0:41:37 > 0:41:40But that is no shame, minus 16, is it?
0:41:40 > 0:41:43- No. I'll cancel the cruise. - Cancel the cruise!
0:41:44 > 0:41:46First bid. I'm going to sell it.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54That was fun, wasn't it, girls and boys?
0:41:54 > 0:41:58- Yeah. Great.- Have you been chatting? - Certainly not. No.
0:41:58 > 0:42:05Well, I don't know when I can remember a Bargain Hunt that has had such a roller coaster ride.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08Because today, the runners-up are...
0:42:08 > 0:42:10- the blues. - GROANING
0:42:10 > 0:42:11CHEERING
0:42:11 > 0:42:15The blues start out with a £6 profit, a £23 profit.
0:42:15 > 0:42:21Then they lose £100. Then Anita gets them £55 back on that bonus buy.
0:42:21 > 0:42:25But it's not enough because your end score is minus 16.
0:42:25 > 0:42:29- It's such bad luck.- Ah! - It is.- I know!
0:42:29 > 0:42:34- Anyway, it's been great fun. We've loved having you on the show. - Thank you.
0:42:34 > 0:42:38But the victors today are actually going home with cash!
0:42:38 > 0:42:39CHEERING
0:42:39 > 0:42:43Jules and Mags are going home with £30. Take it just like that.
0:42:43 > 0:42:47- You're the Treasurer.- Thank you. - LAUGHTER
0:42:47 > 0:42:53- The £60 profit on the biscuit barrel was marvellous, wasn't it?- Yes. - And Charlie Chaplin came in smiling.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56- Thank you, Thomas. - Even though you had a few losses,
0:42:56 > 0:43:00you didn't go with the bonus buy, you were strategically wise.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Yes. We thought that.
0:43:02 > 0:43:06- Congratulations. You had a lovely time?- We had a super time. - We've loved having you, too.
0:43:06 > 0:43:11It's been such fun, why not join us soon for more bargain hunting, yes?
0:43:11 > 0:43:12Yes!
0:43:12 > 0:43:16I know, you're thinking, "I could have done better than that!"
0:43:16 > 0:43:18Well, what's stopping you?
0:43:18 > 0:43:23If you think you can spot a bargain, go to our BBC website and apply.
0:43:23 > 0:43:26It would be splendid to see you.
