0:00:02 > 0:00:05We've got £300, two teams with time on their hands,
0:00:05 > 0:00:08a great selection of antiques shops,
0:00:08 > 0:00:11so...what are we waiting for?
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Let's go bargain-hunting. Yeah!
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Welcome to Dorking, a historic town
0:00:41 > 0:00:44at the foothills of the North Downs.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46The big question today is, though,
0:00:46 > 0:00:49is it going to be an uphill struggle for our teams,
0:00:49 > 0:00:51with the purchases that they're about to make?
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Today's story is one of passion and perseverance.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00While the Reds try to tango the price down...
0:01:00 > 0:01:03- It's going down! £40, £30... Oh, it's free!- Oh!
0:01:03 > 0:01:06..the Blues plod along with a heavy load.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Hold it, hold it! I'm going to drop it!
0:01:09 > 0:01:12But before we get underway, let's meet the teams, eh?
0:01:14 > 0:01:18So, on the Red team today, we've got best mates Tony and Danni,
0:01:18 > 0:01:22and for the Blues, we've got a married couple - Trevor and Ann.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- Hello, everyone! - ALL: Hello!
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Great to see you. Now, Tony, how did you become best mates with Danni?
0:01:27 > 0:01:31We met at the Art Society, where I'm a member,
0:01:31 > 0:01:34and Danni came along one evening.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38We hit it off immediately. We found that we disagreed on most things.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- Lovely!- Art, music, culture,
0:01:41 > 0:01:42Formula 1 racing...
0:01:42 > 0:01:46And you continue to be pretty sparky with one another, do you?
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Yeah, yeah. I think we might have a nice time today.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51What - falling out?!
0:01:51 > 0:01:55- Yes!- Well, that would be great, wouldn't it? We love a bit of argy-bargy.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Now, Danni, tell me about your work, darling.
0:01:57 > 0:02:02I work as an interpreter for Redbridge Council for Social Services.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05So what is your linguistic root, Danni?
0:02:05 > 0:02:08I speak five languages - Russian, Lithuanian,
0:02:08 > 0:02:10French, English and Italian.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- You don't!- I do.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- You clever old sausage!- Thank you. - How did you learn five?
0:02:15 > 0:02:18I went to all those countries that I've learned languages,
0:02:18 > 0:02:20because I have a passion for cultures
0:02:20 > 0:02:22and learning new things.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Do you have any hobbies at all?
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Oh, I do. I dance Argentinian tango.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28- Do you?- I do.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Oh, how lovely! So what tactics have you got between you, then?
0:02:31 > 0:02:35Well, I don't know. What do you think, Tony?
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Buy something big...and then panic at the end.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- You want to spend it all!- Big spenders.- That's marvellous.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43You're going to do very, very well.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- Isn't that marvellous?- Yes.- Don't you think?- Yes.- Good. Now...
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- Trevor, you're retired now, old fruit.- I am.
0:02:49 > 0:02:50What did you do before that?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53I was a dispenser after I left college.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55- What - pills?- Yes.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- A chemist.- Down the old pharmacy? - Yeah.- Lovely.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02But I always had a hankering to go into the police force.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04But I had a problem in this country,
0:03:04 > 0:03:07because in the '60s, you had to be five foot ten.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12- Right.- And, unfortunately, I didn't quite reach those dizzy heights,
0:03:12 > 0:03:14so I couldn't join the police force.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17But my mother found an advert one day in the paper,
0:03:17 > 0:03:20and she said, "Look at this" and I read it,
0:03:20 > 0:03:22and it was an advert for the Hong Kong Police Force,
0:03:22 > 0:03:26so I applied, and subsequently, eventually got selected
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- and joined the Hong Kong Police Force.- How exciting!
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Which was quite good in the '60s.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34I did... I was there for 12 years.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37- Yes.- Became a chief inspector.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41Um...but while I was out there, of course, that was where I met Ann.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Ann was travelling around the world
0:03:43 > 0:03:45on her way to see her sister,
0:03:45 > 0:03:47stopped off in Hong Kong...
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- Never found her sister?- Never got there!
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- Well, not initially, anyway.- No, quite. How marvellous!
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- Was it love at first sight?- Yes, it was.- Yes, it was.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58I think within about two days I'd already decided
0:03:58 > 0:04:01this is the way it's going to be.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04- How nice.- And we've been together 38 years since.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06And, Ann, what did you do before you retired?
0:04:06 > 0:04:11Um...I joined the Natural History Museum. I left school in 1957.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13I joined the 1st of January 1958.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15I was there for about 15 years.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18And what sort of things do you collect?
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Well, between us, we have collections of miniatures,
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Coalport, Spode, etc.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26But I do have a collection of buddhas.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28- Buddhas?- Yes, little Hotei buddha.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31- Little buddhas.- I have 30 of them.- You don't!
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- I do.- Are you religious at all?- No.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- Not at all.- Right. Not at all!
0:04:36 > 0:04:40- So will you be buying a buddha today on Bargain Hunt?- I don't think so.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42I think that's a very wise move.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Anyway, here we go. Look - £300.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45Your money moment.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46There's your smackers.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49You know the rules. Your experts await. And off you go!
0:04:49 > 0:04:52And very, very, very good luck!
0:04:54 > 0:04:56So, who are our experts today?
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Always ready to snap to it
0:04:59 > 0:05:01is the inimitable Charlie Ross.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05But will he be outmanoeuvred today
0:05:05 > 0:05:07by the tactical Catherine Southon?
0:05:09 > 0:05:13- Dan's got the plan.- What's the plan? - Something very expensive and amazing.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- Something expensive and amazing? - Yes.- What about me?
0:05:16 > 0:05:17Oh!
0:05:17 > 0:05:22- What are we going to buy today?- Buy quality cheap and sell it at a profit.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26He's got a bit of a stare, hasn't he?
0:05:26 > 0:05:27She's right!
0:05:30 > 0:05:32What about that?
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Aww!
0:05:33 > 0:05:35It reminds me of my prep school.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Oh, lovely!
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- What do you think?- We must go and see it.- Come on!
0:05:42 > 0:05:43Hello.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Come on, come on, come on, come on!
0:05:47 > 0:05:48A bit small, darling?
0:05:50 > 0:05:51It's great!
0:05:51 > 0:05:53It suits you, Tony.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- Are these the lots you were looking at through the window?- Yeah. What do you think?
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- Are they child's boots?- They are child's boots.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Boxing gloves.
0:06:02 > 0:06:03Is this all one lot?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05School scarf...
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Look at the way they're made.
0:06:07 > 0:06:08Unbelievable.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11I was a very poor rugby player,
0:06:11 > 0:06:13- but you see the studs here?- Yeah.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15See they're held on by nails?
0:06:15 > 0:06:17- They are.- Yes.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21And what happened is that the leather of the stud wore away,
0:06:21 > 0:06:24so the nails became proud.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27And if you've ever seen a game of rugby, or played a game of rugby,
0:06:27 > 0:06:30you have a ruck, where you ruck the ball back
0:06:30 > 0:06:32and you do that with somebody,
0:06:32 > 0:06:35and of course, these nails used to cut people terribly,
0:06:35 > 0:06:38and that's why they were so dangerous in those days.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Nowadays they have different studs and different construction.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- How old is it?- Um, I'm guessing...
0:06:44 > 0:06:47um...1940s.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48Oh, that's old.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Do you think it's expensive, £145?
0:06:53 > 0:06:54What are you getting for £145?
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Rugby football shirt...
0:06:57 > 0:07:00scarf, cap, boots and boxing gloves.
0:07:00 > 0:07:05Charlie, it's Macintosh. Pity it's not H Potter.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06CHARLIE LAUGHS
0:07:06 > 0:07:09If your name is Macintosh, it's worth a fortune.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Yes.- If your name is Ross, it probably isn't.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Um...
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Alan, can you come and help us?
0:07:15 > 0:07:20I have a lovely girl here who's getting very excited about your sporting things,
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- but, um...- Do you know anything about the boy?
0:07:23 > 0:07:24No.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27It's just been brought in as a set?
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Those are fabulous.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31They're not rugby boots.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- They're football boots. - Never mind.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37They're indistinguishable, aren't they, at that age?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- No.- I mean, they still have the same...
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- They wouldn't have had this strap. - They wouldn't have had that strap?
0:07:43 > 0:07:44Why is that?
0:07:44 > 0:07:46- They just didn't.- Really?
0:07:46 > 0:07:49What would be the best price you could do for them,
0:07:49 > 0:07:50for the whole lot, please?
0:07:54 > 0:07:55Um...
0:07:55 > 0:07:57For the very, very...
0:07:57 > 0:07:59very best.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01That won't do you any good.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03THEY LAUGH
0:08:03 > 0:08:05What should I do to impress you,
0:08:05 > 0:08:07to drop the price down, please?
0:08:09 > 0:08:11I can dance tango. Do you dance tango?
0:08:11 > 0:08:13I can do tango.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Can you?
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Yes, he can do tango.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20SHE HUMS
0:08:20 > 0:08:23I don't think Alan's a tango-er.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27Do you know, I've got the impression here that you've got the price
0:08:27 > 0:08:29- and that's it, really.- A little bit.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33- What did you say?- £110, and that is it.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34What do you think, Charlie?
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- £110. Can we take...?- I love them,
0:08:37 > 0:08:40but I must say, if you buy them, I think you're bonkers,
0:08:40 > 0:08:41going to auction,
0:08:41 > 0:08:44because I think you'll lose money.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46But is it you or is it me?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48- It's all about you, darling.- I love the boots.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52- I think we have a deciding vote here.- Tony, what do you think?
0:08:52 > 0:08:55I think we've got a child here in history.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58This just captures a child, and that child is worth £110.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Let's take a risk, because I love the boots
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- and I think they must be very popular.- May I put it on record
0:09:03 > 0:09:07that this does not come with my blessing?
0:09:07 > 0:09:08No, I know.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Well batted. Well batted, Macintosh.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- Well batted.- Thank you very much.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- Thank you.- You're welcome.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Well, at least we don't want to win this competition. Thank you, Alan.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19- That's marvellous.- We do!- You're not going to win!
0:09:19 > 0:09:24- We must choose something that wins! - And that's the man that sold you the things! He said you're not going to.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Ha! Yes, you've definitely kicked off
0:09:26 > 0:09:28with a slightly left-of-field item.
0:09:28 > 0:09:33Now, Catherine, the plan was quality at a reasonable price.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Ooh, lovely, lovely, lovely bits and pieces.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Ooh, very big price tags, though!
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Oh, look!
0:09:42 > 0:09:45£175.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47That's pretty.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49On the top there.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50That's a lot of our budget.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- Yes.- That's all of our budget.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- Nearly all of our budget.- That told me, didn't it?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Yes, Catherine.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Step away from the high price tags.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01We have some thrifty shoppers here.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Do you give big discounts?
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Meanwhile, have those Reds sniffed out anything else yet?
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- A vinaigrette...- Do you know what a vinaigrette is?
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Yes. You put vinegar and snuff it...
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- Smell it.- When you're feeling bad. - That's right.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19When they had open drains,
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- in the 17th, 18th century...- I can't even think about it.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26Walk down the street, and, of course, everybody's gubbins was being thrown out the window,
0:10:26 > 0:10:30and what have you, if you felt a bit faint, darling, you had a sniff of your vinaigrette.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33I might feel faint soon if I don't see something amazing.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35You're making me feel quite faint already.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Me too! Right, you frugal Blues,
0:10:38 > 0:10:40I think you're getting yourselves into a right tizzy.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Eddie, I think we're having a few problems, aren't we?
0:10:45 > 0:10:49- Because we're seeing wonderful items, but quite a lot of high prices.- Have you...?
0:10:49 > 0:10:51What were you going to suggest?
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Just a quick whizz round the shop at first.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56So let's fast forward, because so far, there's lots of looking,
0:10:56 > 0:10:58but no buying.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00We won't be buying it, but do you find that gorgeous?
0:11:00 > 0:11:02- I love the lines.- Yes.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06- That is handsome, isn't it?- That's nice.
0:11:08 > 0:11:09Ooh!
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Right, lead us to the bargains.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17What have you got there?
0:11:17 > 0:11:19These are hammered pewter bowls.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21- Right.- And a stand.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24You've got a hammered design. It's all pewter.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Just like a fruit stand, or something like that.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30"Abbey."
0:11:30 > 0:11:31"Abbey Pewter."
0:11:31 > 0:11:33£40.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38- That's fine, because that's... - That's a bit boring, isn't it?
0:11:38 > 0:11:39That says "bowl and stand."
0:11:39 > 0:11:41- Is that the stand?- Here's the bowl.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43- Do you think so?- No.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- You are a cheeky one!- I can try.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48- Isn't he?- I don't think you'll get away with it!
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- I don't think you'll get away with it.- Would they be worth £40, both of them?
0:11:51 > 0:11:54I think if you tried that... It might be worth trying that
0:11:54 > 0:11:56if you can get that for about £20 or something.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- Shall we see if Eddie's around?- It's useful.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Eddie, right on cue.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02When it said "bowl and stand",
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- I presume it doesn't mean that and this?- Yeah, sure, £40.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09Well, this one's got £28 on it.
0:12:09 > 0:12:10Ah!
0:12:10 > 0:12:13They're not mine. They're somebody else's, so...
0:12:13 > 0:12:18- What would you...?- Well, I'd like... Would we be able to do £20 on that?
0:12:18 > 0:12:20£20, from £40? I don't think so.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21No. Um...
0:12:21 > 0:12:25I can offer 10%, or, I think the best is to phone the dealer.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29- I think that's the best thing. - Thanks very much.- Cheeky!
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Trevor, you are a cheeky one.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33But you Blues best get a move on,
0:12:33 > 0:12:35as we're coming up to the halfway mark.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Now, Charles, are you craving something shiny, old fruit?
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Do you like silver, girls and boys?
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- Yes!- Do you?- Yes.- Yeah.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45Well, we know what she likes.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- What have you found?- And that's football boots.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51It's got a good, crisp hallmark here.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53It's silver, it's made in London.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55It looks a bit Deco-y to me.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- It looks as though it might be 1930s.- What do you think?
0:12:58 > 0:13:02Um...and it's made by the Goldsmiths and Silversmiths Company,
0:13:02 > 0:13:03I think.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06There's a fabulous bowl there, but there's a problem with that.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- We've got inscription.- It's got an inscription on it.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Look at that fleur-de-lis decoration.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Isn't that absolutely gorgeous?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15- 1931.- Yeah. It's a good age.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18"Challenge Cup, presented to RW Smith Esquire
0:13:18 > 0:13:22"for the best mare and foal."
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- Can we find out the price?- I think we can.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Let me go and find someone.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29And while you hunt down the dealer,
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Ann's spotted something that could help the team to catch up.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37You take the weight.
0:13:37 > 0:13:38Oh, crikey!
0:13:38 > 0:13:39Or not.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43- Hold it, hold it! I'm going to drop it!- You take it. I'm leaving go.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Well, get it, then, if you love it.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Well, why not HARE off, then?
0:13:47 > 0:13:50You Blues still need to find your first buy.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53We're looking at a collection of silver here.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57And watch out, Adam, unless you want to get tangoed.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Be very careful if you don't like the tango,
0:14:00 > 0:14:03because this girl tends to dance with everybody.
0:14:03 > 0:14:04They are lovely.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Those are very nice as well.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08You have a very tango-like figure.
0:14:08 > 0:14:09Do I? Thank you very much!
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Thank you very much.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13- Um, the best I can...- She's already danced with Alan.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17- I've actually got two left feet. - That's all right.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- Um...- Love your shoes, though.- Thank you. That's very kind.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- Those are lovely.- Flattery will get you everywhere.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Um...nice quality...
0:14:25 > 0:14:30- The best on those would be £190.- For both?- For the two.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32And separately?
0:14:32 > 0:14:36Separately... I probably couldn't let them go separately,
0:14:36 > 0:14:38- purely because they are together. - I see - they are matching.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40So same maker, same...
0:14:40 > 0:14:44I think that's a really lovely bowl,
0:14:44 > 0:14:46and a bowl that could be used for all sorts of things.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50If you could tango that to £75,
0:14:50 > 0:14:53I could safely say I don't think we'd lose money
0:14:53 > 0:14:55and we might well make a profit.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57But it might take a very long tango.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00ALL LAUGH
0:15:02 > 0:15:04- What do you think?- I would recommend that
0:15:04 > 0:15:06if it could be done for £75,
0:15:06 > 0:15:09but I think £75 is just about right.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12And it's a good maker, which always helps.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14- Goldsmiths and Silversmiths.- So it's very good quality.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17How good tango has to be for £70?
0:15:17 > 0:15:19ALL LAUGH
0:15:19 > 0:15:21I tell you, if we meet in the middle,
0:15:21 > 0:15:23I'll let it go for £80.
0:15:23 > 0:15:28I'll let it go for £80, but I really can't let it go for anything less than that, unfortunately.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Shall we try a tango and then see how you change your mind, maybe?
0:15:31 > 0:15:36I think you'll be asking more, because I'll probably trip you over!
0:15:38 > 0:15:40I'm not usually so hard. Could you do £75?
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- I'm just... I know it's...- As it's you.- Are you sure?
0:15:43 > 0:15:45- As it's you.- I think it's as it's her, not as it's me!
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- I'll do the £75.- Are you happy with that?- I'm happy with that.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50- You do want to buy it, team?- Yes.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- I think that's a really good buy. - Thanks so much.
0:15:53 > 0:15:54Aw!
0:15:54 > 0:15:58- I think, having agreed a price, you're not going to escape without a tango.- I don't think I am.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59I give you my partner.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Those shoes deserve a tango.
0:16:03 > 0:16:04Oh, you're good!
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Hang on - £60.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10- £50...£40...- Going down!
0:16:10 > 0:16:12£30... Oh, it's free!
0:16:12 > 0:16:17Oh, Danni, look! You've turned Adam a very peculiar colour.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Well done. That's your second find secured.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21But don't get complacent -
0:16:21 > 0:16:22the race ain't over yet.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Can you tell us a bit about this hare?
0:16:26 > 0:16:28I just know it's modern,
0:16:28 > 0:16:31and I presume quite a lot of them have been produced.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33There's not that many. They're hard to get hold of.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36- Are they?- Yeah, and they're very popular.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38- Right.- And they don't hang around too long.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Right. I mean, it is lovely,
0:16:40 > 0:16:42but I think it's quite punchy.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44What could you do for us, anyway?
0:16:44 > 0:16:45How much is on there?
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Er...too much.
0:16:47 > 0:16:48Um...
0:16:48 > 0:16:49£160.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50Yeah.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54Um...10% is about £145...
0:16:54 > 0:16:55I'll do it for £120.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00I think that's far too much, to be honest, for auction.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03ANN: Yes, because we have the three things to buy.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05If we could nudge it under £100...
0:17:05 > 0:17:07slightly.
0:17:07 > 0:17:08Like £99?
0:17:08 > 0:17:09£90?
0:17:09 > 0:17:11More of a nudge would be lovely.
0:17:11 > 0:17:12All right, meet you halfway.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14£96.
0:17:14 > 0:17:155.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16OK, done.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20Great. That's one item finally bought.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Now, how about making it two and catching up with the Reds, eh?
0:17:23 > 0:17:26From £40, it's £35.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Not a lot, is it?
0:17:29 > 0:17:32The bowl...from £28 is £25.
0:17:32 > 0:17:33Which makes £60.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36But for the two, it's £55.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- Oh, gosh, that's not much off at all, is it?- No.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41But it was cheap to begin with.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45I mean, to be honest, that doesn't do anything for me at all.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49And that's more like a dog's bowl, really, isn't it?
0:17:49 > 0:17:52I mean, that you could use and make it look quite attractive.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Do you want to carry on having a look?
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Yes, let's...
0:17:56 > 0:18:00If you wouldn't mind giving them another call and maybe suggesting...
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- Try £30.- That's OK.- Right, one purchase.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Phew! Calm.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Not TOO calm, though, Catherine.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09We're in the final 15 minutes, after all.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Butter dish with a squirrel on it.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Why would you have a butter dish with a squirrel on it?!
0:18:16 > 0:18:17I don't know.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19It ought to be a nut dish.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Well, I'm going nuts watching you lot.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23What's the strategy now, then, maestro?
0:18:23 > 0:18:27- There's not much time left, so we have to buy something cheap, and quickly.- £20 max.
0:18:27 > 0:18:28Yeah.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Good plan,
0:18:30 > 0:18:33but the Blues are keeping their cards close to their chest.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37Oh, that seems quite reasonable - £48.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40I mean, these are the little Victorian
0:18:40 > 0:18:42mother-of-pearl card cases,
0:18:42 > 0:18:45and they are...sort of two a penny, really.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47If you go to any fair, you'll find these.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Um, but they're normally around
0:18:50 > 0:18:53- more sort of £80, £90.- Really?
0:18:53 > 0:18:54So that does seem very cheap.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57I'm thinking there must be something desperately wrong with it.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59There's a little bit of wear there.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Can you see? There's a tiny bit missing.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06- Yeah.- Now, you see there, it has got a repair there. Can you see that?
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- Right.- Oh, yes.- Can you see that segment has been repaired?- Yes.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13If you could get that for...
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- ..maybe £30 or something, that's not too bad.- Yes.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Yeah, where's Eddie? Where's Eddie when you need him? Eddie!
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Ah, right on cue. Well done, Eddie.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Fabulous. OK.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Oh, I forgot about this. OK, what's the latest on the stand?
0:19:28 > 0:19:33I've been back to the dealer and the final price is £35.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35It's up to you, but I...
0:19:35 > 0:19:38You still think that's quite high?
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Well, shall we leave it and then have a quick look round?
0:19:42 > 0:19:44We'll hold it for you.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46I don't think it's going to go anywhere.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48- Yes, if we could, please.- Thank you.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50In the meantime, we found this.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52- OK.- I mean, it has got a bit of damage.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54He can do that for £44.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Little bit more?
0:19:56 > 0:19:59He won't come down any more.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02£42. That would be the final price on that.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04£42.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- I think that's quite reasonable. Happy with that?- Yes.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08OK, we'll go for that.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10You're not smiling! Smile!
0:20:10 > 0:20:14- Where's the smile? Where's the energy?- Eddie's smiling!
0:20:14 > 0:20:16- Are you happy with that?- Yeah.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20- Let's go for it.- I think we've got more chance with that than...- Sure.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24- ..maybe with the hare.- Oh, don't say that!- No, don't say that.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26No, no. Well done, Blues. You've caught up with the Reds,
0:20:26 > 0:20:29but you've only got ten minutes for that final item.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32This could be a battle to the finish.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Down here...
0:20:34 > 0:20:35What about...
0:20:35 > 0:20:39- trench art?- Yes, I like trench art.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- I'm a great, great...- It's a lighter, made from a penny.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44- Or is it...?- It's a penny.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- Is it a halfpenny?- It's a penny, I think.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49No, that's not a halfpenny, it's a full penny.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51What a fascinating object.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55- It IS a lighter. Well, it's the remains of a lighter.- Yeah.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57It should have a...
0:20:57 > 0:20:59you know, a flint on it.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03This is not an image I know on this side of the coin.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05It's French, isn't it?
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Although that's the English king... How interesting.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Good lord! We've got George on one side.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13This is a joining of the two countries, isn't it?
0:21:13 > 0:21:17- This is not an English, um, queen here.- No.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18It's not a lot of money.
0:21:18 > 0:21:24- £26. Do you like it?- Oh, yes!- Well, I've bought something I like,
0:21:24 > 0:21:26you've bought something you like.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28- Tony deserves...- Ta-da!
0:21:28 > 0:21:31- Try it at a tenner, Tony.- OK.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34See what you can do.
0:21:34 > 0:21:35Eddie!
0:21:35 > 0:21:36Eddie!
0:21:38 > 0:21:40I've got a loud voice. EDDIE!
0:21:40 > 0:21:41Poor Eddie.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44He'll have his work cut out with these teams, I tell you.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Time's up. What do you think?
0:21:50 > 0:21:53If I hear nothing, if I hear complete and utter silence,
0:21:53 > 0:21:56that means I'm really not-impressed Catherine.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Quite frankly, I don't think they were impressed, Catherine.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03Eddie, they've found something... Well, Tony's found something
0:22:03 > 0:22:04particularly interesting here.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09There's something that concerns me about it.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Though Tony loves that, I was suggesting, as a lighter,
0:22:12 > 0:22:14there's more missing than is there!
0:22:14 > 0:22:18We're missing the flint. We're missing... Well, I suppose the wick would be...
0:22:18 > 0:22:20But it's a bit of history.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Bit of history, yes.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24- How much could it be, sir? - Well, it's £26.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26How does £24 sound?
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Absolutely horrendous.
0:22:31 > 0:22:32How does £10 sound?
0:22:32 > 0:22:33Terrible!
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Terrible!
0:22:35 > 0:22:38£23 would be our very best, honestly.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39£15?
0:22:39 > 0:22:41No, sorry, can't do it.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- Right, we've got two minutes left, guys.- We have to decide.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50Well, we have to buy it, don't we? Unless you can see something here
0:22:50 > 0:22:53that you can buy within two minutes.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- I don't think so. But, Tony, do you like it?- I love it.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Hold that and count it down.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Count me down.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02What about a horn flea-catcher?
0:23:02 > 0:23:04I've always wanted a horn flea-catcher.
0:23:04 > 0:23:09Oh, it's locked. Two minutes. You haven't got time to unlock the cabinet
0:23:09 > 0:23:11- or make a phone call.- Can we have a look at it?
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Ah, yes, look - it's a horn flea-catcher.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16I'll get the key.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18No wonder poor old Steady Eddie can't be found.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20He's trying to juggle both teams.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Eddie! Eddie! Hello.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24I'd change my name if I were you, Eddie.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28- That pewter bowl - definitely £35 is the lowest you'll go?- That's right.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31- Couldn't go £34?- No.- Sure?- Sure.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- £34. You see...- It's a bargain.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37When they auction, they go up in fives and tens.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40When they get to £30, they go £35.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43If we had it for £34, it might just go to £35
0:23:43 > 0:23:44and we'll make a pound.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- You're looking for a Golden Gavel, aren't you?- Yes!- Yes.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53It doesn't look like horn to me, to be honest. It looks like boxwood.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57- £34.- £34.- £34.- OK, we'll do it. - Everyone happy? £34.
0:23:57 > 0:23:58I'm happy with that.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02Well done, Blues. You shot past the Reds in the final few minutes,
0:24:02 > 0:24:05but it's poor Eddie that's really working up the sweat.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- How much time?- Half a minute.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11- I've got...- Sorry about this, Eddie. I've been over-ruled.
0:24:11 > 0:24:16- They didn't want to go with a horn flea-catcher.- Really?- No.
0:24:16 > 0:24:17They want to go...
0:24:17 > 0:24:19£23. £23.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Thank you so much!
0:24:21 > 0:24:23- Thank you.- You might be sorry.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Well, we'll see about that. But right now...
0:24:25 > 0:24:29I really have to put my foot down.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Not another moment. Time's up.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Let's check out what the Red team bought.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37They started their innings with this 1940s boy's sports kit,
0:24:37 > 0:24:41paying a whopping £110.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Danni danced for this silver sugar bowl,
0:24:46 > 0:24:49and her fancy footwork got it down to £75.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54They completed their operation with the WWI trench art lighter.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56£23 paid.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57Strike a light!
0:24:58 > 0:25:00I know! I'm sorry.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Do I smell a note of discord in the ranks here?
0:25:03 > 0:25:05- Not at all.- Not at all!
0:25:05 > 0:25:06OK, fine.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08- One?- One as a team, aren't we?
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Oh, lovely! What did you spend?
0:25:10 > 0:25:13- £208.- £208.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15I'd like £92, please.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- £90, thank you very much.- And £2.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19£92.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21OK, expert!
0:25:21 > 0:25:23- £92.- Thank you.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Nice oriental presentation.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Any idea what you're going to buy?
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Unusually for these two, something with a profit in it.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Ooh, miaow!
0:25:32 > 0:25:34On that catty note,
0:25:34 > 0:25:36why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:25:37 > 0:25:40They really took a fancy to this bronze hare
0:25:40 > 0:25:42and thought it had potential at £95.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48Catherine kept in the game with this mother-of-pearl card case
0:25:48 > 0:25:50and the deal was done at £42.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56In the final throes, they decided to take a risk
0:25:56 > 0:25:57on this pewter pedestal bowl,
0:25:57 > 0:25:59paying £34.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04- Are we happy with the pewter?- Are we happy with the pewter?
0:26:04 > 0:26:06- Are we happy with the pewter?- He is.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08- He is.- I'm happy.- She is.- I'm not.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Oh, you're not? OK. How confusing.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- Anyway, what did you spend all round?- £171.- £171.
0:26:13 > 0:26:14I'd like £129, please.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16£129.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Thank you, Trevor.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20£129.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22There's the four to go with the what-nots.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24- Catherine.- Wonderful.- I think you need a medal, darling.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28- Thank you. I think I do too.- Now, what are you going to go and spend all that money on?
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Who knows? I'm just glad that Trevor's not coming with me,
0:26:31 > 0:26:32because he's been hard work.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34I got discounts.
0:26:34 > 0:26:35Well...
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Well, there we go. Well, that's fair enough.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41- And you've had fun, haven't you?- Oh, we have.- That's what it's all about.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Just like we're going to have some fun now,
0:26:43 > 0:26:45over in Petworth House.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53Built between 1684 and 1702
0:26:53 > 0:26:55by the Sixth Duke of Somerset,
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Petworth House has been in the hands of the National Trust
0:26:58 > 0:27:00since 1947,
0:27:00 > 0:27:05and, as such, it contains their finest collection of paintings.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09The painter John Constable
0:27:09 > 0:27:12called Petworth House "the house of art".
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Here the greats -
0:27:14 > 0:27:16artists such as Turner,
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Van Dyck and Reynolds -
0:27:18 > 0:27:22compete for attention on the walls of this magnificent mansion.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28Petworth houses extraordinary collections of objects -
0:27:28 > 0:27:30furniture, sculpture -
0:27:30 > 0:27:33and is not just a picture gallery.
0:27:33 > 0:27:40Unlike this picture, which is just a picture of just a picture gallery.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Fun, though, isn't it?
0:27:42 > 0:27:47This is David Teniers the Younger at his best.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50In fact, we get a glimpse of him
0:27:50 > 0:27:53standing in the middle of his masterpiece,
0:27:53 > 0:27:56holding a masterpiece.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58What's all this about?
0:27:58 > 0:28:02Well, it depicts a picture gallery
0:28:02 > 0:28:06and the pictures in that gallery belong to one particular man -
0:28:06 > 0:28:10Archduke Leopold Wilhelm,
0:28:10 > 0:28:15standing here in the middle, pointing at a picture by Cortona.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19All the pictures in this picture,
0:28:19 > 0:28:20all 51 of them,
0:28:20 > 0:28:22were in his collection,
0:28:22 > 0:28:26and this is his picture gallery in Brussels.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29An avid art collector,
0:28:29 > 0:28:31he employed the artist Teniers
0:28:31 > 0:28:35to curate his collection of pictures,
0:28:35 > 0:28:39and, as a result, Teniers knew each of these paintings
0:28:39 > 0:28:41intimately.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43Each of the 51 paintings that we see
0:28:43 > 0:28:47within this picture is a work of art in its own right.
0:28:47 > 0:28:52For example, the painting that Teniers is holding himself
0:28:52 > 0:28:54is by Annibale Carracci,
0:28:54 > 0:28:59and it shows Christ, dying.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03Take the girl in the red robe in the middle at the back,
0:29:03 > 0:29:05and she's by Titian.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09The large standing painting with the green cloth on it
0:29:09 > 0:29:11is by Raphael,
0:29:11 > 0:29:14and in the large painting on the far side,
0:29:14 > 0:29:16by Veronese,
0:29:16 > 0:29:20we have a scene showing Esther, the Jewish heroine
0:29:20 > 0:29:25pleading for her people at the feet of Ahasuerus.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27And I think the icing on the cake
0:29:27 > 0:29:33has to be the couple of friendly dogs, two mutts, in the foreground.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35But beautifully painted.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39The big question today is for our teams, however, at the auction -
0:29:39 > 0:29:41will they get the picture, or not?
0:29:46 > 0:29:50Well, it's a cracking opportunity to come down the A24 to Washington
0:29:50 > 0:29:54to Toovey's Saleroom, to be with Rupert Toovey, our man of the moment.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57- Rupert.- Tim, it's lovely to see you again.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59Very nice to see you sporting a decent bow tie.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01Well, we must!
0:30:01 > 0:30:04Good! Now, Tony and Danni for the Reds
0:30:04 > 0:30:08went with this group of sporting schoolkids' gear.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11Which, I have to say, gives me a sinking feeling.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Well, I, like you, am more of a man of thought and word
0:30:14 > 0:30:16rather than physical activity.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19- And I think it's probably only 20 quid.- Do you?- Mmm.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22Well, they paid £110. They must have got swept away
0:30:22 > 0:30:25with some prep school enthusiasm here,
0:30:25 > 0:30:28- because it doesn't do it, does it? - No.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30- Stand by for a big loss on that lot, yes?- Yes.
0:30:30 > 0:30:35- OK. The sugar bowl.- Well, nice makers, isn't it, Goldsmiths and Silversmiths?- Yes.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38- It's got some weight.- And although it's only part of a tea service,
0:30:38 > 0:30:40- it's a pleasing object, isn't it? - Yes.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42And so we've put £60 to £90 on it.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45Charlie Ross found it for them and they paid £75.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48- That's not too bad, is it?- No, it's in your estimate,
0:30:48 > 0:30:49which is a relief.
0:30:49 > 0:30:53Lastly is the trench art lighter.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57- I think you'd be lucky to get £5 or £10.- Really?
0:30:57 > 0:30:59- They paid £23.- Oh, I'm sorry.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03Well, I'm sorry too, because that and the killer school kit
0:31:03 > 0:31:06will torpedo them, and they're going to need their bonus buy.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08Let's go and have a look at it.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12- So, Tony, Danni, how are you?- Very well.
0:31:12 > 0:31:13This is your bonus buy moment.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15That old rascal Charlie Ross
0:31:15 > 0:31:18had £92. What did you spend it on, Charlie?
0:31:18 > 0:31:22Well, I had to try and find something with a profit in it.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25Because I wasn't too confident of what we've gone into bat with
0:31:25 > 0:31:27to this moment.
0:31:27 > 0:31:28- Ready?- Yes.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31ALL: Ooh!
0:31:31 > 0:31:33- Cribbage.- Cribbage. Well spotted.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35We do have the pegs,
0:31:35 > 0:31:36but I particularly liked it
0:31:36 > 0:31:38A, for the condition and B, for the different woods.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41You see, it's rosewood
0:31:41 > 0:31:42and it's boxwood
0:31:42 > 0:31:46and I think the body is probably a lightish mahogany.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48I think these are bone,
0:31:48 > 0:31:50and it's just, I think, rather a charming object.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53- It's beautiful.- And it didn't cost a great deal of money.- How old is it?
0:31:53 > 0:31:57- It's about 1880, 1890.- Oh, I love that.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00What do you think it's worth, girls and boys?
0:32:00 > 0:32:02£20.
0:32:02 > 0:32:03£40.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05£25.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07- A bargain!- Oh!
0:32:07 > 0:32:10How much do you think it might make?
0:32:10 > 0:32:12- £40.- £60.- Oh!
0:32:12 > 0:32:14£80. £120.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18- That's the joy of it, isn't it?- We don't have to decide right now, anyway.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20You don't, actually. You're absolutely right.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23You have watched the show. I'm incredibly impressed.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26Because right now, for the audience at home,
0:32:26 > 0:32:29we're going to find out what the auctioneer thinks about Charlie's cribbage box.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33One cribbage box, for the use of.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36Well, I love playing cribbage, but it's quite a simple example.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38It's not very good quality.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40- You play, do you?- Oh, yes.- Oh!
0:32:40 > 0:32:43Oh, two for a pair and one for his nob - it's marvellous!
0:32:43 > 0:32:46Is it a saleable thing, do you think, at auction?
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Well, £20 or £30, I think, Tim.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Well, Charlie Ross paid £25.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54So he's paid the right price, as they say.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57Now, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00Which is a table dominated by that...
0:33:00 > 0:33:03lovely piece of sculpture. Tell us about that, Rupert.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06Well, it's modern and it's bronze.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10But it's after that wonderful hare that you find in
0:33:10 > 0:33:13Guess How Much I Love You, that wonderful children's book,
0:33:13 > 0:33:14with Nutbrown Hare,
0:33:14 > 0:33:17and so people have loved this during the view.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Popular object, then, perhaps. What's it worth?
0:33:19 > 0:33:21Well, we've put £30 to £50 on it,
0:33:21 > 0:33:25- but with that much interest, you could have a surprise on that one. - Is that all - £30 to £50?!
0:33:25 > 0:33:29- I think we'll do better than that.- I hope so. £95 is what they paid.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32Now, next is the mother-of-pearl card case.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34It's a very pleasing object, isn't it?
0:33:34 > 0:33:37But condition is so important with those.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40- That's got one or two lumps out.- I'm afraid it has.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43- Which will affect the value.- Yes.- To what extent?
0:33:43 > 0:33:45About £30 to £50, I think.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Oh, dear! £42 they paid.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50So, it's in the estimate. They might get away with it.
0:33:50 > 0:33:54Bit toppy. And lastly is the pedestal dish for sticking your fruit in
0:33:54 > 0:33:57in Acacia Avenue in 1932.
0:33:57 > 0:34:01But if you were in Acacia Avenue, you would probably have bought a Liberty one, Tim.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04- That's the trouble.- This Abbey stuff...
0:34:04 > 0:34:07It's the same sort of period, but is it a poor man's variety, Rupert?
0:34:07 > 0:34:08Very much so.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11And so we've tried to be good-mannered by saying £10,
0:34:11 > 0:34:13but you might be lucky to get that.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15Ah...£34 was paid.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17- That's dear.- It is dear, isn't it?
0:34:17 > 0:34:21It'll all boil down as to how Nutbrown Hare gets on.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23I think it will.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27If it doesn't do too well, they'll need their bonus buy. Let's have a look at it.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32OK. Annie, Trev, this is your bonus buy moment. You gave Catherine £129.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34Catherine, what did you blow it on?
0:34:34 > 0:34:36It wasn't easy.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38It was a bit tricky.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40But we got there in the end.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44- Ah.- Oh!
0:34:44 > 0:34:46- I thought they were delightful.- They are.
0:34:46 > 0:34:47Aren't they gorgeous?
0:34:47 > 0:34:51Silver-gilt and enamel little tongs.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53- Oh, that is nice.- Sugar tongs.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56We think they're Norwegian, by David Andersen.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58- Is it for sugar?- Yes, sugar nips.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01- Big question - how much?- £49.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03- Oh.- Oh.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Do you think there's a profit in it?
0:35:05 > 0:35:08- Yes! Why not?- Yes!- Just a little bit.
0:35:08 > 0:35:09Little bit.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12Well, you pick later if you want to, but right now,
0:35:12 > 0:35:15let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Catherine's little nips.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19Some more nips from Catherine.
0:35:20 > 0:35:21How do you rate those?
0:35:21 > 0:35:25Well, pretty enamel, but there's so few collectors for these these days.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27It would be Norwegian, yes?
0:35:27 > 0:35:29- Yes.- That's what she tells us.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32And by the company David Andersen.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34They had all sorts of people designing for them.
0:35:34 > 0:35:38- Right.- But not attributable, this one.
0:35:38 > 0:35:39I feel a struggle coming on here.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41It is tricky, isn't it?
0:35:41 > 0:35:42Well, we've said £30 to £40.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45Have you? £49 Catherine invested
0:35:45 > 0:35:47and she really rates them.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Well, bless her heart.
0:35:49 > 0:35:50Anyway, on that happy note,
0:35:50 > 0:35:52we'll look forward to the auction.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54Thank you, Rupert.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Any advance on £120?
0:36:00 > 0:36:03T and D. Tony and Danni.
0:36:03 > 0:36:08Let's go back to school, then, lads. And here comes the kit.
0:36:08 > 0:36:101562. The highest we can start,
0:36:10 > 0:36:12with conflicting bids and lots of them,
0:36:12 > 0:36:14is £15.
0:36:14 > 0:36:15Oh, no!
0:36:16 > 0:36:18£15. Can I see the £17?
0:36:18 > 0:36:21£17. £20. And two, sir.
0:36:21 > 0:36:22£25. £27.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Must be worth one more, sir?
0:36:24 > 0:36:27At £25. Can I see the £27? Are you sure, sir?
0:36:27 > 0:36:31- What do you think?- I'm afraid £25's coming.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33£25?
0:36:33 > 0:36:34Fair warning.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37Is -£85, chickens.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39That's a big old slug, that is.
0:36:39 > 0:36:40It's a good price, though.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45Honestly! OK, now...
0:36:45 > 0:36:47Stick to the day job. I would.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50I have to open this lot at £95.
0:36:50 > 0:36:51Ooh, how lovely!
0:36:51 > 0:36:54At £95. Straight in at £95.
0:36:54 > 0:36:55Can I see the £100?
0:36:55 > 0:36:57£95.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Fair warning. £95.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02£95. Well done, that man.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04£95 is +£20.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06Which takes you back to -£65.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09- We're coming good!- The trench art.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12And we're opening this lot at £5.

0:37:39 > 0:37:42So we've got something to claw back with that cribbage board.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45How do you feel? Are you going to go with the cribbage board?
0:37:45 > 0:37:48- Do you fancy it?- I think we have to. I love it.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50And it ought to make more than £25.

0:38:25 > 0:38:27At £35. Fair warning.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30That's +£10. Well done. Another £10 on that.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33That takes you back to £66. Now, listen.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36The way things are going, that could be a winning score.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38- Yes!- Don't say a word to the Blues. - No.

0:38:53 > 0:38:56and it's coming up now, is your Nutbrown Hare.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58I'm dreading this!
0:38:58 > 0:39:021584. A modern cast-bronze figure of a hare holding its young.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04It's just lovely.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06And everybody agrees with this,
0:39:06 > 0:39:10and so the commission bids whoosh us up to £110.

0:40:29 > 0:40:33We have a multitude of commission bids on this one as well.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35But we're opening at a tenner.

0:40:51 > 0:40:5624...60...30...9... You have made £209.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59And there's no shame in that.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01- I just can't believe it!- £209.
0:41:01 > 0:41:02I cannot believe it!
0:41:02 > 0:41:03I was so nervous.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05So worried.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07What are we doing about the nips?
0:41:07 > 0:41:09No? No.
0:41:09 > 0:41:10You know best.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13Ann, we are letting you decide everything.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16I'm not sure, cos I don't think they know what sugar is.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18Trevor!
0:41:18 > 0:41:20- You're not going with the bonus buy? - No.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22Well, we'll see it sold anyway. Here it comes.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24Opening the bidding here at £45.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26£50 now. £50. Can I see £55?
0:41:26 > 0:41:27At £50.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29It's only one pound. It doesn't matter.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32It's £50 now in the room. At £50.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34At £50. Is there any more?
0:41:34 > 0:41:36At £50, and well held, sir.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39Well done, Catherine. That made £1 profit.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41It would have made it £210.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43Nice round figure!
0:41:45 > 0:41:46Look at this face!
0:41:46 > 0:41:49There is a happy couple if ever I saw one.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52What we should never do on this programme
0:41:52 > 0:41:54- is predict anything.- No.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56You never know - this could be a winning score.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04Well, this is one of the magic moments of being on Bargain Hunt.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08That super-duper flush
0:42:08 > 0:42:10that overcomes one.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Sadly, one team has to run up,
0:42:13 > 0:42:14and the team that's running up today
0:42:14 > 0:42:17- are the Reds.- Oh!
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Pretty substantially... -£66.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21It's nothing to write home about, is it?
0:42:21 > 0:42:23All right?
0:42:23 > 0:42:27Largely made up by school equipment, it has to be said.
0:42:27 > 0:42:31£85 worth of losses is quite a lot to bear.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33How does Lithuania feel about this?
0:42:33 > 0:42:35- Um...- Pretty cool?
0:42:35 > 0:42:36- Yes!- Good.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39- Have you had a nice time?- Wonderful, thank you.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41We've loved having you on the show.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44But the victors today, by a massive score,
0:42:44 > 0:42:47who are taking home £209 of profits...
0:42:47 > 0:42:48ALL GASP
0:42:48 > 0:42:51£209 coming your way.
0:42:51 > 0:42:52There we go.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54How good is that?
0:42:54 > 0:42:57Largely because Ann found a bronze
0:42:57 > 0:42:59which made a profit of £225.
0:42:59 > 0:43:03So all hail Ann! It can be done,
0:43:03 > 0:43:06and you've proved it today, darling, which is absolutely brilliant.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09Anyway, lovely news. Thank you very much for joining us,
0:43:09 > 0:43:11and join us soon for some more bargain-hunting. Yes?
0:43:11 > 0:43:12ALL: Yes!
0:43:12 > 0:43:14I know you're sitting there thinking,
0:43:14 > 0:43:16"I could have done better than that!"
0:43:16 > 0:43:18Well, what's stopping you?
