0:00:02 > 0:00:05Today we're in Horncastle, in the heart of the Lincolnshire Wolds

0:00:05 > 0:00:09and home also to a plethora of antiques shops.

0:00:09 > 0:00:11So, what are we waiting for?

0:00:11 > 0:00:14Let's go bargain-hunting. Yeah!

0:00:43 > 0:00:47The market town of Horncastle was once famous for its horse fair.

0:00:47 > 0:00:51Now it's antiques that draw the crowds.

0:00:51 > 0:00:55But our teams today are going to have to go at full gallop

0:00:55 > 0:00:58if they're going to get around all the shops in this town

0:00:58 > 0:00:59in only one hour.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02Here's a quick peek at what they got up to.

0:01:04 > 0:01:07The Reds think that they can ballroom-dance their way to success.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10- One, two...- Cha-cha-cha!

0:01:10 > 0:01:14Whilst the Blues rely on superstition to get the best price.

0:01:14 > 0:01:16Well, 53...I'm not joking,

0:01:16 > 0:01:18is my lucky number.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20- Oh, well!- So can we do that?

0:01:20 > 0:01:23- It's her lucky number.- Well, if it's your lucky number, then OK.

0:01:23 > 0:01:25Let's meet today's teams.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27Well, how lovely is this?

0:01:27 > 0:01:31One of our teams today is made up of good friends Jennifer and Wendy,

0:01:31 > 0:01:34and the others, Sue and Graham, are a happily married couple.

0:01:34 > 0:01:36- Hello, everyone.- ALL: Hello.

0:01:36 > 0:01:39Now, how did you meet, you two girls? Jennifer?

0:01:39 > 0:01:42Well, we're both ballroom and Latin dancers

0:01:42 > 0:01:43with our respective partners,

0:01:43 > 0:01:46and we met at a social.

0:01:46 > 0:01:48- Did you?- Yes.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50Was it slow, slow, quick, quick, slow?

0:01:50 > 0:01:52- And a bit of Latin in between. - Oh, I see.

0:01:52 > 0:01:55And since you've retired, I believe you've got your dream job?

0:01:55 > 0:01:58I have, yes. I work in a Jacobean mansion

0:01:58 > 0:01:59as a sort of assistant tour guide.

0:01:59 > 0:02:03It's beautiful and it's furnished with 17th-century...

0:02:03 > 0:02:05- Exquisite things?- Yes, beautiful.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07Do you find you're learning all the time?

0:02:07 > 0:02:09Yes. I mean, it's history,

0:02:09 > 0:02:12and some schoolchildren come and they enjoy dressing up

0:02:12 > 0:02:15and being in it. It's a wonderful way to teach children history.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17Yes, it is. History through objects.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19It's something I try to do nearly every day of the week.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21Now, tell me, Wendy, what do you do, darling?

0:02:21 > 0:02:23Well, I do voluntary work for Cancer Research.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26I work in the shop in Shirley, Solihull.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29- Is that a charity shop?- It is. - So how do you sort out

0:02:29 > 0:02:31all the valuables that come through the front door?

0:02:31 > 0:02:34Well, when we have a lot of antiques, we have a chap called Tony

0:02:34 > 0:02:38and he tells us all about them, tells us all the little things,

0:02:38 > 0:02:41- quirky things about them.- And does he tell you what they're worth?

0:02:41 > 0:02:44- Yes, he does.- Crikey! You're an expert, then, Wendy!

0:02:44 > 0:02:45Not... Well...

0:02:45 > 0:02:47Oh, don't you be modest with me.

0:02:47 > 0:02:50You've been picking up all these tips from Tony.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53You're going to be ruling the roost today. I should think

0:02:53 > 0:02:57these poor old Blues are quaking in their boots about that!

0:02:57 > 0:03:00So what's your favourite period or type of antique?

0:03:00 > 0:03:02I like, um...

0:03:02 > 0:03:05jewellery and I like sort of figurines -

0:03:05 > 0:03:07you know, fob watches...

0:03:07 > 0:03:12The smaller type of antiques, as opposed to the large furniture.

0:03:12 > 0:03:15- Something you can put in your pocket.- Yes.

0:03:15 > 0:03:16Yeah, I know!

0:03:16 > 0:03:18Exactly.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21Anyway, I think you're going to do terribly, terribly well today on Bargain Hunt.

0:03:21 > 0:03:23- I hope you're going to be happy. - Thank you.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26Well, there's some secrets come to the fore, isn't it?

0:03:26 > 0:03:29So, tell me, Sue, how did you meet Graham?

0:03:29 > 0:03:32- We met in a pub.- Did you? - Nine years ago.

0:03:32 > 0:03:36So I was with a group of friends, and we were just leaving, and I just

0:03:36 > 0:03:40saw a man who was literally head and shoulders above everybody else.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42Certainly is! He's a big lad.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44- He caught my eye.- He caught your eye. - He did.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47And what was the other thing that impressed you about him,

0:03:47 > 0:03:49- apart from his size?- Motorbikes!

0:03:49 > 0:03:54Yeah, when we got talking, we found out we've got a common interest in motorbikes.

0:03:54 > 0:03:55Is that one of your hobbies?

0:03:55 > 0:03:58It is, yeah. Our first date was on a motorbike.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00- Was it?- Yeah. So he picked me up the next day

0:04:00 > 0:04:02and we went out for the afternoon.

0:04:02 > 0:04:04- I felt very safe.- Did you?- Yeah. - That's lovely.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07Now, Graham, it says here you used to be in the Army.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10Yes. I got out the Army in 1991.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13I've had various jobs since then.

0:04:13 > 0:04:17And now I work on a chicken farm. I work on a free-range egg farm.

0:04:17 > 0:04:21- Now, I gather you both live on a houseboat.- Yes.

0:04:21 > 0:04:22- Is it fun?- Yeah.- It's brilliant.

0:04:22 > 0:04:26It's a different way of life completely from what we were used to.

0:04:26 > 0:04:30- So you sold up the house and moved onto the boat?- Sold everything.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32Did you? Oh, gosh.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35It's lovely. We've converted it so it's nice and comfortable.

0:04:35 > 0:04:38It's got a nice wood-burning stove on it, so it's nice and warm.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41So you obviously get on well in tight places.

0:04:41 > 0:04:43Are you going to get on well today on Bargain Hunt?

0:04:43 > 0:04:45I hope so, yeah. We're confident.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47Probably not!

0:04:47 > 0:04:49We've got different views on different things.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51Oh, you're perfectly sweet, anyway.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53Right, now, here comes the cash -

0:04:53 > 0:04:55£300 apiece. There's your £300.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57You know the rules. Your experts await.

0:04:57 > 0:04:59And off you go! Very, very, very good luck.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07Weighing up the profits for the Reds, we have Paul Laidlaw.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12And spinning a yarn for the Blues, it's Claire Rawle.

0:05:16 > 0:05:19- So what shall we look for today?- If we see a profit in it, we'll buy it.

0:05:19 > 0:05:23That sounds good to me. We'd better get in here, see if we can find some bargains! Come on.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28- Here we are.- Oh, my goodness! This is amazing.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30Look at that! Wonderful.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33Start picking stuff up. That is what we're here to do.

0:05:33 > 0:05:36Yes, and there are only 60 minutes in which to do it.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38So get going, teams!

0:05:38 > 0:05:41Ah, I think Paul might have spotted something.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43This is a well-made object. What does it do?

0:05:43 > 0:05:46As I understand it, a mould for making ices.

0:05:46 > 0:05:48That's like sorbets or ice creams.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50I can't tell you. Maybe both.

0:05:50 > 0:05:51Nice maker here.

0:05:51 > 0:05:53Very nicely formed.

0:05:53 > 0:05:56They've even milled the edge of that brass foot there.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59But look - copper on the outside,

0:05:59 > 0:06:01tinned on the inside.

0:06:01 > 0:06:06And that is to stop the copper tainting the foodstuff.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09Fruit acids would attack these.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12And that will be a Victorian specimen.

0:06:12 > 0:06:13I love it.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16I think it's brilliant.

0:06:16 > 0:06:18As you say, it's got markings along here.

0:06:18 > 0:06:21You guys are way more enthusiastic than I thought!

0:06:21 > 0:06:24We should cut to the chase.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26To those that know what that is,

0:06:26 > 0:06:28it's worth £30, £40.

0:06:28 > 0:06:29Excellent.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31And it's priced at...

0:06:31 > 0:06:33- 16.- £16.

0:06:33 > 0:06:36Your problem is, I kicked off by saying, "To those that know what it is."

0:06:36 > 0:06:39To most people, even auction-goers,

0:06:39 > 0:06:42it's another copper pot that they don't care about.

0:06:42 > 0:06:46It's a good thing in the right hands, but I think it's too niche.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48- Shall we pop that down? - We could think about it.

0:06:48 > 0:06:49Yes, we could think about it later.

0:06:49 > 0:06:51Well, that broke the ice, at least.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54And there's still plenty of time to spend that £300.

0:06:57 > 0:07:00What about barge-dwellers Susan and Graham?

0:07:00 > 0:07:02Is anything floating their boat?

0:07:02 > 0:07:04I quite like the swans,

0:07:04 > 0:07:07because we've got a pair of mating swans that live at the mooring.

0:07:07 > 0:07:11So the fact you've got friendly swans is key to your buying?

0:07:11 > 0:07:12- Yeah!- Great.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14Ah! But what else has Susan spotted?

0:07:14 > 0:07:17- Is it a barometer?- Yeah, that's an aneroid barometer.

0:07:17 > 0:07:18OK...

0:07:18 > 0:07:20That's nice quality, isn't it?

0:07:20 > 0:07:22Yeah.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24- Shall I get that one down?- Please. - That'd be good,

0:07:24 > 0:07:27cos you're a bit taller than the rest of us. Let's have a look.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30OK, it's late Victorian.

0:07:30 > 0:07:31It's an aneroid barometer,

0:07:31 > 0:07:33so rather than having lots of mercury in it,

0:07:33 > 0:07:36which spills out, which a lot of the bigger barometers have,

0:07:36 > 0:07:39these are really more the air pressure working within that disc

0:07:39 > 0:07:41you see at the back.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44And it's nice, actually, to see the workings.

0:07:44 > 0:07:46- It's a tidy thing.- It's lovely, isn't it?- It is pretty.

0:07:46 > 0:07:48Good dial on it.

0:07:48 > 0:07:51Rather Gothic-y looking text on it.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53I think it's a nice thing.

0:07:53 > 0:07:54Again, it's like a lot of things -

0:07:54 > 0:07:56they don't sell as well as they used to.

0:07:56 > 0:07:58I'd expect it to make about this at auction.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00Really ought to make about 30,

0:08:00 > 0:08:03so that is... That's giving us a bit of a chance, isn't it?

0:08:03 > 0:08:05Let's go and find the man

0:08:05 > 0:08:07and see if we can do a deal on this one.

0:08:07 > 0:08:09- Find the man, see if we can. - Brilliant!

0:08:10 > 0:08:13Aha! This is the gentleman we need to speak to.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15What would your best price be on that?

0:08:17 > 0:08:1932.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21Hmm, got to get it down a bit below that.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24How about...come up a bit?

0:08:24 > 0:08:26- At least beginning with a 2.- Yeah.

0:08:26 > 0:08:2725?

0:08:30 > 0:08:32Absolute death is 30 quid.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34Can't go a penny below that.

0:08:34 > 0:08:35- Can't do 28?- Can't do 28.

0:08:35 > 0:08:39- What do you feel on that, you guys? - We really like it, so, yeah.

0:08:39 > 0:08:4130 OK?

0:08:41 > 0:08:43- Yeah.- Happy with that?- Yeah.

0:08:43 > 0:08:44Thank you very much.

0:08:47 > 0:08:51Deal done on the barometer, all indications are good so far, Blues.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54And are those Reds knuckling down to business,

0:08:54 > 0:08:56or simply having a ball?

0:08:56 > 0:08:57- One, two...- Cha-cha-cha!

0:08:57 > 0:08:59This is walking!

0:08:59 > 0:09:00BOTH: One, two, cha-cha-cha!

0:09:00 > 0:09:02- ALL LAUGH - What?!

0:09:02 > 0:09:05This isn't Strictly Come Bargain Hunting, you know!

0:09:09 > 0:09:11You've two, haven't you?

0:09:11 > 0:09:13Late 19th century would be my bet.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16Jennifer's good at spotting things like this.

0:09:16 > 0:09:18Milk glass.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20- Oh, it's milk glass?- Yep.

0:09:20 > 0:09:23Now, pressed glass is the collective title for moulded glass.

0:09:23 > 0:09:25Could be made in the northeast.

0:09:25 > 0:09:27It could be Davidson's.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29Rather a nice...

0:09:31 > 0:09:34Rather nice. What are they?

0:09:34 > 0:09:36A pair of bon-bon dishes, do we think?

0:09:36 > 0:09:38I don't know. But £12 - I mean...

0:09:38 > 0:09:39a pair.

0:09:39 > 0:09:42I've got to be honest with you - it's a steal.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44- If somebody wanted them.- But again...

0:09:44 > 0:09:45Yeah, that's it.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47This is an out-of-fashion field.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49But I don't want to talk you out of this.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51Proper antique.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53This is a plus, OK?

0:09:53 > 0:09:57- Yes.- A pair - uncommon.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59- They are pretty. Can I have a little hold?- Of course.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01What did you say they were - £12, was it?

0:10:01 > 0:10:03£12 the pair.

0:10:03 > 0:10:05I mean, what are they worth?

0:10:05 > 0:10:06They're worth £20, £30 at auction.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09So we could make a bit of a profit if two people want them.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11They would make a bit of a profit.

0:10:11 > 0:10:12Look...

0:10:12 > 0:10:16- we've seen two things...- Two things that are cheap as chips.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18I've just seen another thing. Hold on.

0:10:18 > 0:10:20- Oh, no!- It's very similar.

0:10:20 > 0:10:24It might be a no-go, but look - pressed milk glass are us!

0:10:24 > 0:10:26- Look at the quality in that. - Oh, gosh, yes.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28What does that celebrate?

0:10:28 > 0:10:31Is there a rose in there? It's the union.

0:10:31 > 0:10:32The thistle...

0:10:32 > 0:10:34Is there a shamrock?

0:10:34 > 0:10:36Clearly, we have a rose, a shamrock and a thistle.

0:10:36 > 0:10:40Emblematic of the union of Ireland,

0:10:40 > 0:10:42England and Scotland.

0:10:42 > 0:10:45And wasn't that Act of Union passed in 1707?

0:10:45 > 0:10:48- Is my history anywhere near right? - Yes, that's about right.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51So I'm thinking to myself, if we were...

0:10:51 > 0:10:54IF we were celebrating an anniversary,

0:10:54 > 0:10:56it could be 1907,

0:10:56 > 0:10:58which is just plausible.

0:10:58 > 0:11:00And if you missed that at home,

0:11:00 > 0:11:02this could have been made around 1907

0:11:02 > 0:11:04to commemorate the bicentenary

0:11:04 > 0:11:06of the Act of Union.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08Look at that for a wee trio of pressed glass.

0:11:08 > 0:11:09- We need to do this.- We do.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11We're talking enough - we need to get this nailed.

0:11:11 > 0:11:15It looks as if Paul's created his own Act of Union

0:11:15 > 0:11:16with these pieces.

0:11:16 > 0:11:22We were wondering whether we could offer you 15 for the three?

0:11:22 > 0:11:23If that would be possible.

0:11:23 > 0:11:27- Unfortunately, 18 would be the best price.- OK.

0:11:27 > 0:11:29Well, I still think 18's quite good.

0:11:29 > 0:11:31That's what the man said. I think you take it or leave it.

0:11:31 > 0:11:34- It's a decent price.- We'll take it.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37- Three different items. - I think you're going to take it.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39ALL LAUGH

0:11:41 > 0:11:43- We are.- You are going to take it?

0:11:43 > 0:11:45OK, thanks very much.

0:11:45 > 0:11:46Thanks very much.

0:11:46 > 0:11:48Marvellous. It's a hat-trick for the Reds.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51We've really enjoyed it so far. You can't imagine how exciting it is

0:11:51 > 0:11:55when you see something and hear it's actually worth something. We might have found a bargain!

0:11:55 > 0:11:58I tell you what - enthusiasm, we're drowning in it.

0:11:58 > 0:12:02Jennifer, Wendy - fantastic. Give me them any time.

0:12:02 > 0:12:04But there's not quite so much enthusiasm

0:12:04 > 0:12:06on the Blue team at the moment.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08How do those grab you, down there?

0:12:08 > 0:12:10Er...I'm not keen.

0:12:10 > 0:12:12- Crown Derby.- Not keen.- OK.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15- You are going to have to make up your mind soon.- I know.

0:12:15 > 0:12:16We've only got 25 minutes left,

0:12:16 > 0:12:17and we've got two to find.

0:12:17 > 0:12:19So focus.

0:12:23 > 0:12:25Just don't get into a flutter, Blues.

0:12:29 > 0:12:32That's caught my eye. I don't know what you think about that.

0:12:32 > 0:12:34Very often made in South America or places

0:12:34 > 0:12:36where they have these exotic butterflies.

0:12:36 > 0:12:39- Very, very pretty. - Looks like feathers.

0:12:39 > 0:12:42See if you can get it off there, so I don't knock down...

0:12:42 > 0:12:43I'll get one side, you get the other.

0:12:43 > 0:12:46- Feel how heavy that is!- It's got glass in it, so it's quite heavy.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48Now, these - they do sell.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51And there's no legislation against selling this type of butterfly.

0:12:51 > 0:12:54They were made very much as souvenirs.

0:12:54 > 0:12:58Brought back in the 1930s, '40s.

0:12:58 > 0:13:02You see all sorts of things, and they do sell reasonably well.

0:13:02 > 0:13:05Yes, these common tropical butterflies are not endangered,

0:13:05 > 0:13:08and this tray was made before 1948,

0:13:08 > 0:13:10so according to international CITES regulations

0:13:10 > 0:13:14of the wildlife trade, it can be legally bought and sold.

0:13:14 > 0:13:15So...

0:13:15 > 0:13:18- Do you think there'll be much profit in it?- There'll be a bit.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20It's got £50 on it.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23It should make that at auction. I've seen them make more than that.

0:13:23 > 0:13:26- Right.- And it's a good mixed auction we're going to,

0:13:26 > 0:13:28and it's in good order,

0:13:28 > 0:13:31so if we can get a bit off that...

0:13:31 > 0:13:33- Let's see the man.- Find him again.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35- Yeah.- OK, let's find the man.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38We've spotted this.

0:13:38 > 0:13:40So Graham and Sue are now going to...

0:13:40 > 0:13:42do a deal.

0:13:42 > 0:13:44We're thinking round about £35.

0:13:44 > 0:13:48£35... I could do it for £45 for you.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52- Meet in the middle - 40? - I'll tell you what - 44.

0:13:52 > 0:13:5444, yeah?

0:13:57 > 0:13:58Try it if you want.

0:13:58 > 0:14:00I can see he's sold on this one, isn't he(?)

0:14:00 > 0:14:02Yeah, go for it.

0:14:02 > 0:14:03- Yeah?- Yeah.

0:14:03 > 0:14:05- Right.- No problem at all.

0:14:05 > 0:14:06- Cheers!- Thank you very much.

0:14:06 > 0:14:10Meanwhile, those Reds are still on the razzle.

0:14:11 > 0:14:14Oh, my goodness, this is just amazing.

0:14:14 > 0:14:16- Filled to the rafters, isn't it?- Wow!

0:14:16 > 0:14:17Never mind how beautiful the shop is -

0:14:17 > 0:14:20you need to find two more items, Reds.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23And it seems as though some cut glass has caught Paul's eye.

0:14:25 > 0:14:26I think Scandinavian,

0:14:26 > 0:14:29- probably 1970s.- Right.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31Very nice quality of glass they use

0:14:31 > 0:14:33and it is wheel-cut,

0:14:33 > 0:14:35so these aren't moulded, they're individually crafted.

0:14:35 > 0:14:39That looks like it could be a Koster piece.

0:14:39 > 0:14:42Koster is a quality Swedish glassmaker.

0:14:42 > 0:14:44Let's hope it doesn't "Koster" fortune.

0:14:44 > 0:14:46Sweet little girl there.

0:14:46 > 0:14:47Teardrop in her eyes.

0:14:47 > 0:14:48Look at that - it's amazing.

0:14:48 > 0:14:50Oh, yes, can you see her?

0:14:50 > 0:14:51That's brilliant.

0:14:51 > 0:14:53Hand-cut.

0:14:53 > 0:14:55Not etched from a mould.

0:14:55 > 0:14:57- Do you like these?- We do.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59We do, definitely, yes.

0:14:59 > 0:15:03I think I heard you muttering to yourselves, "Which one?"

0:15:03 > 0:15:05I think we think bigger than that.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07Could we take the lot, then?

0:15:07 > 0:15:09Take them all?

0:15:09 > 0:15:10Can there be...

0:15:10 > 0:15:15one, two, three, four five... If we took five of them...?

0:15:15 > 0:15:17We could call it around 55.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19How about buy one, get one free, eh?

0:15:19 > 0:15:21Sell us the lot for 40 quid!

0:15:21 > 0:15:2350.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25- I'm not going to do it for 40. - Shake the man's hand.

0:15:25 > 0:15:29Good work, team. 15 minutes to find your final item now.

0:15:29 > 0:15:30Right...

0:15:32 > 0:15:34The Blues are feeling the pressure.

0:15:35 > 0:15:38Ah, could this Victorian tea urn do the job?

0:15:38 > 0:15:40Tea urn...

0:15:40 > 0:15:42It is quite nice.

0:15:42 > 0:15:44Shall I get it down for you?

0:15:44 > 0:15:45Let's have a look and see.

0:15:45 > 0:15:48The only thing with copper and brass is people don't like cleaning it.

0:15:48 > 0:15:52- That would just be decorative. - It is quite decorative. It's £22.

0:15:52 > 0:15:53It's not a huge amount.

0:15:53 > 0:15:56And then they might negotiate reasonably well here.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59Or do you want something a bit more...?

0:15:59 > 0:16:02If you could get that down... If we could get it for, sort of,

0:16:02 > 0:16:05maybe 10 or 12, there's some profit in that one, definitely.

0:16:07 > 0:16:08These are selling quite well.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10I'm going to try and get it down without destroying it.

0:16:10 > 0:16:12That is actually not bad.

0:16:12 > 0:16:14It's not the right globe on it.

0:16:14 > 0:16:15That looks more modern.

0:16:15 > 0:16:17But to be honest,

0:16:17 > 0:16:18get that off it...

0:16:18 > 0:16:20They've got £38 on it,

0:16:20 > 0:16:21which is not bad.

0:16:21 > 0:16:23But it's got a nice decorative base on it.

0:16:23 > 0:16:25I mean, you might even negotiate for the two.

0:16:25 > 0:16:28- If you wanted two.- As one lot?- Yeah.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33But whilst the Blues are trying to get a good price

0:16:33 > 0:16:34for the tea urn and lamp,

0:16:34 > 0:16:37is realisation dawning on the Reds?

0:16:37 > 0:16:38- Ten minutes.- Yes, ten minutes.

0:16:38 > 0:16:40Ten?! That's not enough!

0:16:40 > 0:16:43And it's five minutes to get back to shop number one,

0:16:43 > 0:16:46for that copper mould, if we want it.

0:16:48 > 0:16:49Three minutes here. Quick!

0:16:49 > 0:16:52Is there anything? And then we cross the road.

0:16:52 > 0:16:53- Right, go!- Go!

0:16:53 > 0:16:56Going nowhere!

0:16:56 > 0:16:57Going nowhere!

0:16:57 > 0:16:59- Panicking, panicking!- I know.

0:16:59 > 0:17:01- We're not allowed to have any of that.- No.

0:17:01 > 0:17:03Let's just take the eagle.

0:17:03 > 0:17:05Do I detect a note of panic?

0:17:05 > 0:17:07We are panicking.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10No need to panic. We've got a fallback. We've got a plan.

0:17:10 > 0:17:14You know what they say about best-laid plans...

0:17:14 > 0:17:17Oh, well, never mind. Meanwhile, have the Blues got the deal

0:17:17 > 0:17:19they were hoping for on the tea urn and lamp?

0:17:19 > 0:17:23The best you're going to get from me is 10%. And that is it.

0:17:25 > 0:17:28You'll get 54... Six quid off. 53...

0:17:28 > 0:17:31I'm not joking, is my lucky number.

0:17:31 > 0:17:33- Ah, well.- Can we do that?

0:17:33 > 0:17:35Yeah, if it's her lucky number...

0:17:35 > 0:17:38Well, if it's your lucky number, then OK. I'll give you an extra pound.

0:17:38 > 0:17:39I think that's a deal!

0:17:39 > 0:17:4140's my lucky number!

0:17:42 > 0:17:44- Excellent.- It's not that lucky!

0:17:44 > 0:17:48- Well done. Thank you very much indeed.- All right. A pleasure.

0:17:48 > 0:17:50Thanks for all your help.

0:17:50 > 0:17:51Congratulations, Blues.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53You've bagged all your bargains.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58The situations we get ourselves in!

0:17:58 > 0:18:00But the Reds are up against it,

0:18:00 > 0:18:03having left choosing their final purchase

0:18:03 > 0:18:04to the very last moment.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07- So this is it, yes?- Yes.- OK.

0:18:07 > 0:18:09- The first thing we saw.- Absolutely.

0:18:09 > 0:18:11John... It is.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14The first thing we saw, but then again, we did walk away from it.

0:18:14 > 0:18:17OK! That's fair enough.

0:18:17 > 0:18:18Best price?

0:18:18 > 0:18:20£14.

0:18:21 > 0:18:23Right...how much was it? 16.

0:18:23 > 0:18:2416.

0:18:24 > 0:18:27- Well...- It's more than 10%.

0:18:27 > 0:18:30- It's a deal!- Thank you very much. - It's a deal.

0:18:30 > 0:18:31Lovely, thank you.

0:18:31 > 0:18:34Cheers, John. Pleasure.

0:18:34 > 0:18:35- We've done it!- Well done, ladies!

0:18:35 > 0:18:36ALL CHEER

0:18:36 > 0:18:38The plan came good in the end.

0:18:41 > 0:18:42Time's up!

0:18:42 > 0:18:45Let's check out what the Red Team bought, eh?

0:18:45 > 0:18:50The Reds paid a humble £18 for three pieces of Victorian milk glass.

0:18:53 > 0:18:55This collection of Scandinavian art glass

0:18:55 > 0:18:58caught their eye for a tidy £50.

0:19:01 > 0:19:05And for £14, they scooped up a copper and brass ice cream mould.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09- We had a fabulous day.- We had a lovely day.- It was great.

0:19:09 > 0:19:13- It was great.- And thank you for all your help.- How fantastic is this?

0:19:13 > 0:19:15Do the girls ever stop talking?

0:19:15 > 0:19:17It's been a quick hour!

0:19:17 > 0:19:18I bet it has.

0:19:18 > 0:19:21Anyway, which piece is going to bring the biggest profit?

0:19:21 > 0:19:24- Well, I think the milk glass is going to...- Milk glass, yes.

0:19:24 > 0:19:26What did you spend in total?

0:19:26 > 0:19:28- Did you blow the lot?- No.

0:19:28 > 0:19:30- We were very frugal. - Very, very frugal.

0:19:30 > 0:19:32BOTH: £82.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36On all three?

0:19:36 > 0:19:38- On all three items?- Yes.

0:19:38 > 0:19:40We have nine items.

0:19:40 > 0:19:43Really? We normally have the three, you see.

0:19:43 > 0:19:46But £82 on nine items.

0:19:46 > 0:19:48- We wanted to give him all the money. - Yes.

0:19:48 > 0:19:52So we have £218...

0:19:52 > 0:19:54There we go. £218.

0:19:54 > 0:19:57Never in the annals of Bargain Hunt

0:19:57 > 0:20:00have I handed over quite so much left-over lolly!

0:20:00 > 0:20:04I seriously think you ought to go and buy the entire contents

0:20:04 > 0:20:06of one of these shops with all of that.

0:20:06 > 0:20:08- Anyway...- Do come back, won't you?

0:20:08 > 0:20:10Very, very good luck with that.

0:20:10 > 0:20:13Meanwhile, why don't we check out what those Blue fellas bought, eh?

0:20:15 > 0:20:17The Blues gambled £30 on this turn-of-the-century

0:20:17 > 0:20:19aneroid barometer.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23The 1930s butterfly-wing tray

0:20:23 > 0:20:25flew off the shelf for £44.

0:20:26 > 0:20:30And £53 was splashed out on a late 19th-century tea urn

0:20:30 > 0:20:32and oil lamp.

0:20:34 > 0:20:36Now, Graham, which is your favourite piece?

0:20:36 > 0:20:39- I think the barometer is favourite. - Was it?

0:20:39 > 0:20:42- What about you, Susan? - I agree with that, yeah.

0:20:42 > 0:20:44Very good. The pressure's rising.

0:20:44 > 0:20:46- Is that going to bring the biggest profit?- No!

0:20:46 > 0:20:47I don't think so.

0:20:47 > 0:20:50- We think the tray. Well, I think the tray.- You think the tray.

0:20:50 > 0:20:52I think the urn and the oil lamp.

0:20:52 > 0:20:54Lovely. I like a split decision.

0:20:54 > 0:20:56OK, now, what did you spend in total?

0:20:56 > 0:20:58£127.

0:20:58 > 0:20:59£127.

0:20:59 > 0:21:01That means £173.

0:21:01 > 0:21:05Yes? £173.

0:21:05 > 0:21:08Well, there's a fistful of dollars for Claire Rawle.

0:21:08 > 0:21:09Lots of lolly for me.

0:21:09 > 0:21:12- Darling, what are you going to do with that?- I have a few ideas,

0:21:12 > 0:21:14but I'm going to keep them under my hat at the moment.

0:21:14 > 0:21:16You're such a coy one, you really are!

0:21:16 > 0:21:18Anyway, have a good time doing it.

0:21:18 > 0:21:22Meanwhile, I'm heading off somewhere absolutely fabulous.

0:21:30 > 0:21:34This is Tredegar House, near Newport in South Wales.

0:21:34 > 0:21:38Before it became a visitor attraction in the 1970s,

0:21:38 > 0:21:42it had been privately owned for over 400 years.

0:21:42 > 0:21:46But what's a house, eh, without servants?

0:21:48 > 0:21:49At any given time,

0:21:49 > 0:21:52there would have been about 100 staff working at Tredegar.

0:21:52 > 0:21:54They waited upon table,

0:21:54 > 0:21:56looked after the hounds and the horses,

0:21:56 > 0:21:59laboured in the fields and tended the gardens.

0:22:02 > 0:22:04From the end of the 17th century,

0:22:04 > 0:22:09certain parts of the house were divided for the servants' use,

0:22:09 > 0:22:12all according to their function.

0:22:12 > 0:22:15This is described as the housekeeper's room,

0:22:15 > 0:22:17and she was an incredibly important person

0:22:17 > 0:22:19in the day-to-day running of the house.

0:22:19 > 0:22:22She was responsible for all the female staff,

0:22:22 > 0:22:26with the exception of the few around the cook

0:22:26 > 0:22:27in the kitchens.

0:22:27 > 0:22:30She was responsible for the entire cleaning of the house

0:22:30 > 0:22:32and also all the linens.

0:22:32 > 0:22:37And she had control, in her housekeeper's cupboards,

0:22:37 > 0:22:40of certain important provisions.

0:22:41 > 0:22:44The housekeeper's cupboard itself is interesting.

0:22:44 > 0:22:48This is just an example of domestic joinery, if you like,

0:22:48 > 0:22:51but it could date from around 1700 or so.

0:22:51 > 0:22:54Big panelled doors

0:22:54 > 0:22:59kept aloft by these large wrought-iron H-form hinges.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01Inside...

0:23:01 > 0:23:03typical housekeeper's arrangement.

0:23:03 > 0:23:06All her preserves and bits and bobs up above,

0:23:06 > 0:23:10but interesting - these six drawers have survived intact.

0:23:10 > 0:23:11So you'd think these things

0:23:11 > 0:23:15were immediately connected with the kitchen, which they are,

0:23:15 > 0:23:17but the cook would have to come to the housekeeper

0:23:17 > 0:23:21to get her supply of these expensive ingredients.

0:23:21 > 0:23:24Equally expensive and next door

0:23:24 > 0:23:28would be the housekeeper's supply of soap and candles.

0:23:28 > 0:23:32Candles, of course, came in all sorts of varieties,

0:23:32 > 0:23:34the cheapest being tallow -

0:23:34 > 0:23:39literally made from the fat rendered from animals.

0:23:39 > 0:23:43They might cost tuppence a pound, to the most expensive,

0:23:43 > 0:23:48which came from the frontal cortex of a whale,

0:23:48 > 0:23:52and they could cost as much as £10 a pound.

0:23:52 > 0:23:53They were expensive

0:23:53 > 0:23:58because they burned with a particularly white, bright light.

0:24:01 > 0:24:03One of the great entertainments

0:24:03 > 0:24:06for the servants here at Tredegar

0:24:06 > 0:24:09was the servants' ball,

0:24:09 > 0:24:13held traditionally on Twelfth Night -

0:24:13 > 0:24:15the twelfth night after Christmas,

0:24:15 > 0:24:19when a specially laid timber floor would be put down

0:24:19 > 0:24:22and to start the proceedings, Lord Tredegar

0:24:22 > 0:24:26would invite the housekeeper to join him for the first dance.

0:24:26 > 0:24:31He'd then disappear and they'd enjoy the rest of the evening,

0:24:31 > 0:24:34which apparently went on until 6am in the morning -

0:24:34 > 0:24:38about the time some of the servants had to start their work.

0:24:38 > 0:24:42The big question today of course for our contestants is,

0:24:42 > 0:24:46what sort of a ball are they about to have over at the auction?

0:25:02 > 0:25:07It's very nice to be at Golding Young & Mawer's saleroom in Lincoln,

0:25:07 > 0:25:09with my old mucker John Leatt.

0:25:09 > 0:25:12- Welcome to Lincoln.- Thank you very much. Lovely to be back.

0:25:12 > 0:25:16First up for the Reds are these three pieces

0:25:16 > 0:25:18of opaque white glass.

0:25:18 > 0:25:20Now, I don't know much about this stuff,

0:25:20 > 0:25:23but I do know that the blue is the most popular.

0:25:23 > 0:25:25The blue or the Vaseline, which is the yellow,

0:25:25 > 0:25:27- which is always very popular.- Right.

0:25:27 > 0:25:31- Do you rate these white ones, though?- They're in lovely condition.

0:25:31 > 0:25:33There's a pair, which is always nice to see.

0:25:33 > 0:25:37Um, so, no, I...rate them to a level, certainly, yes.

0:25:37 > 0:25:39- How much, then?- Between £15 and £20.

0:25:39 > 0:25:42Great. £18 paid, so they're on the button there. That's fantastic.

0:25:42 > 0:25:48Next is the rather impressive group of five bits of Scandinavian glass,

0:25:48 > 0:25:50all beautifully engraved.

0:25:50 > 0:25:52That's quite unusual, isn't it?

0:25:52 > 0:25:54Nice little collection, I have to say.

0:25:54 > 0:25:58We've got four pieces by Stromberg and one by Koster in Sweden,

0:25:58 > 0:26:00so an interesting little lot.

0:26:00 > 0:26:02How much for the lot?

0:26:02 > 0:26:03Between £30 and £50.

0:26:03 > 0:26:06Well, they paid £50, so they might just get out of jail quick.

0:26:06 > 0:26:10Next is the ice cream or sorbet maker.

0:26:10 > 0:26:14Kitchenalia, is that any good here in Lincoln?

0:26:14 > 0:26:18Yes, there are very specialist collectors in the area that love kitchenalia.

0:26:18 > 0:26:19It's copper with tin lining.

0:26:19 > 0:26:21It's got the maker's mark on it.

0:26:21 > 0:26:24And it would have been, I guess, in its day an expensive item?

0:26:24 > 0:26:25Absolutely, yes.

0:26:25 > 0:26:27And it's a good quality copper,

0:26:27 > 0:26:29lovely condition.

0:26:29 > 0:26:31I've seen so many of them without the lids.

0:26:31 > 0:26:33This one has got the lid down on the base, it screws in.

0:26:33 > 0:26:35So it's not a bad-looking thing.

0:26:35 > 0:26:37- So what's it worth? - Between £25 and £40.

0:26:37 > 0:26:42- Well, they paid £14, so that should be their banker.- I hope so.

0:26:42 > 0:26:44I fancy they might need the Bonus Buy, though,

0:26:44 > 0:26:46so let's go and have a look at it.

0:26:47 > 0:26:50Now, Jennifer, Wendy, this is your moment to star.

0:26:50 > 0:26:52You only spent a miserable £82.

0:26:52 > 0:26:57And you gave Paul Laidlaw £218. Paul, what did you spend it on?

0:26:57 > 0:27:00- Ladies, we started off rather mundane in our shopping.- We did.

0:27:00 > 0:27:03- We wanted some glamour, didn't we? - We did.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05I think I found it.

0:27:07 > 0:27:08What do you think that could be?

0:27:08 > 0:27:09A lipstick?

0:27:09 > 0:27:10Yes!

0:27:10 > 0:27:12Well spotted.

0:27:12 > 0:27:15Silver, English, assayed,

0:27:15 > 0:27:16Art Deco influence...

0:27:16 > 0:27:19I've got to say that. Look at the geometry. Handle it.

0:27:19 > 0:27:21Use it.

0:27:21 > 0:27:23- Can we open it?- Of course. We must!

0:27:23 > 0:27:26Oh, there is one inside, look!

0:27:26 > 0:27:281945.

0:27:28 > 0:27:29And that does it for me.

0:27:29 > 0:27:32Historically, that is such an important year, of course.

0:27:32 > 0:27:35And I think...I fantasise or I imagine

0:27:35 > 0:27:40some RAF officer returning from the war...

0:27:40 > 0:27:43- Oh, romance!- He wants to bring his sweetheart or wife something.

0:27:43 > 0:27:46- It's romantic!- It's just such an evocative period.

0:27:46 > 0:27:49So, we daren't ask, but how much have you spent?

0:27:49 > 0:27:51£24!

0:27:51 > 0:27:52BOTH: NO!

0:27:52 > 0:27:55- What do you think of that? - Fantastic.- Brilliant.

0:27:55 > 0:27:58- Well, I'm leaning towards this very much.- Good!

0:27:58 > 0:28:00We definitely are.

0:28:00 > 0:28:03- I think you should.- Yes, we will. Thank you!

0:28:03 > 0:28:05Funny how you girls love it now you know it's cheap!

0:28:05 > 0:28:07ALL LAUGH

0:28:07 > 0:28:09Well, thank you.

0:28:09 > 0:28:10- Thank you.- Pure brilliance.

0:28:10 > 0:28:13Let's not count any chickens before they hatch.

0:28:13 > 0:28:15But right now, for the audience at home,

0:28:15 > 0:28:18let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Paul's lipstick.

0:28:18 > 0:28:19Nice shade.

0:28:21 > 0:28:24OK, John, there's a little something for you for the weekend.

0:28:24 > 0:28:27- Thank you very much. - Go tripping out in Lincoln.

0:28:27 > 0:28:28Round the clubs.

0:28:28 > 0:28:31Solid silver, eh?

0:28:31 > 0:28:34Absolutely. Hallmarked, Birmingham, 1945.

0:28:34 > 0:28:37It's got a little yellow metal thumb piece there,

0:28:37 > 0:28:40which we assume is gold, but is unmarked.

0:28:40 > 0:28:42But again, good gauge,

0:28:42 > 0:28:43interesting thing.

0:28:43 > 0:28:45Condition's in its favour.

0:28:45 > 0:28:47It's quite a collectable item.

0:28:47 > 0:28:49How much?

0:28:49 > 0:28:51Between £30 and £50.

0:28:51 > 0:28:54OK, £24 paid by the ever-cunning Paul Laidlaw.

0:28:54 > 0:28:59It just shows this man is able to buy almost anything

0:28:59 > 0:29:01in any department

0:29:01 > 0:29:03and hopefully make a profit out of it.

0:29:03 > 0:29:05Which is great.

0:29:05 > 0:29:07Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.

0:29:07 > 0:29:09A little more traditional.

0:29:09 > 0:29:13The aneroid barometer. Every hallway had one of these

0:29:13 > 0:29:15for a couple of generations, didn't it?

0:29:15 > 0:29:17It did. I think every saleroom has one as well!

0:29:17 > 0:29:19Do you rate this one?

0:29:19 > 0:29:22It's a pretty ordinary one as they go,

0:29:22 > 0:29:24although it's in fantastic condition.

0:29:24 > 0:29:26I can't fault the condition, but it's not the rarest of items.

0:29:26 > 0:29:29- How much do you think it's worth? - Between £15 and £25.

0:29:29 > 0:29:31OK, £30 paid.

0:29:31 > 0:29:35Could be slightly stormy conditions, I feel, ahead.

0:29:35 > 0:29:39Particularly when we move on to the butterfly tray.

0:29:39 > 0:29:42It's pre-1950s, almost certainly 1930s or '40s.

0:29:42 > 0:29:45How do you possibly value something like this?

0:29:45 > 0:29:47- Seen them before? - I've seen them before.

0:29:47 > 0:29:50I've seen various different versions of this

0:29:50 > 0:29:51on the market over a period of time,

0:29:51 > 0:29:53so we're probably talking about £15 to £25 again.

0:29:53 > 0:29:55OK, £44 paid.

0:29:55 > 0:30:00OK, lastly, we've got the copper tea urn and the brass oil lamp.

0:30:00 > 0:30:03- I guess the best of it's the oil lamp, isn't it?- I think so.

0:30:03 > 0:30:07It's not the original shade, but the base is all that it should be.

0:30:07 > 0:30:09Because...tea urns?!

0:30:09 > 0:30:11What do you do with a tea urn?

0:30:12 > 0:30:14You could take the lid off and put a plant in it.

0:30:14 > 0:30:16You could, um...

0:30:16 > 0:30:18Scrap it? You could melt it down.

0:30:18 > 0:30:21Horrible thought, but... I would hope not.

0:30:21 > 0:30:24No. How much do you think it's worth for the two?

0:30:24 > 0:30:26Between £15 and £25.

0:30:26 > 0:30:29I had a funny feeling you were going to say that. £53 paid.

0:30:29 > 0:30:31This looks to me as if it could be a bloodbath,

0:30:31 > 0:30:33in which case, they're going to need their Bonus Buy,

0:30:33 > 0:30:35so let's go and have a look at it.

0:30:36 > 0:30:38Well, Graham, Susan, this is your moment.

0:30:38 > 0:30:41Clairey went off with your £173,

0:30:41 > 0:30:43which is a good old wodge.

0:30:43 > 0:30:44What did you buy, Claire?

0:30:44 > 0:30:46I bought...

0:30:46 > 0:30:47Ta-da!

0:30:47 > 0:30:49What do you think it is?

0:30:50 > 0:30:52- A lamp?- You're not far wrong.

0:30:52 > 0:30:55- A heater?- Yes, absolutely spot-on - it's a heater.

0:30:55 > 0:30:58It's a car heater, OK?

0:30:58 > 0:31:00Dates from about the 1930s.

0:31:00 > 0:31:02Where we take it for granted these days

0:31:02 > 0:31:04we have antifreeze in our engines,

0:31:04 > 0:31:07they didn't back in the 1930s and '40s.

0:31:07 > 0:31:09So in the winter, the cold weather,

0:31:09 > 0:31:12there's a good chance that your engine would freeze overnight.

0:31:12 > 0:31:14So a lot of people actually used to drain them,

0:31:14 > 0:31:15so that you didn't crack it.

0:31:15 > 0:31:17So this was an answer.

0:31:17 > 0:31:19- I like that.- I thought you might.

0:31:19 > 0:31:21It's a practical item, isn't it?

0:31:21 > 0:31:24And it had a naked flame in it,

0:31:24 > 0:31:26hence the gauze so that you didn't, hopefully,

0:31:26 > 0:31:28set fire to your garage and your motor car.

0:31:28 > 0:31:31And it just kept an ambient warmth in there

0:31:31 > 0:31:33to stop the water from freezing.

0:31:33 > 0:31:35And I thought it'd appeal to you, Graham,

0:31:35 > 0:31:36because you do like practical things.

0:31:36 > 0:31:38It was £28.

0:31:38 > 0:31:40£28.

0:31:40 > 0:31:42And there should be some profit in that.

0:31:42 > 0:31:46They're very collectable, it's a quirky item...

0:31:46 > 0:31:49and I really think there should be profit in that.

0:31:49 > 0:31:52And this is listed on the internet, this sale, so...

0:31:52 > 0:31:54Exactly, so collectors will be out there

0:31:54 > 0:31:56and anyone that's interested in it

0:31:56 > 0:31:59will be looking on their computer and up it'll pop.

0:31:59 > 0:32:01- Yeah.- I like it.- What do you think about it, Susan?

0:32:01 > 0:32:05Yeah, at first I thought, "Oh, it's not bling, it's not shiny,"

0:32:05 > 0:32:07but actually I do quite like it.

0:32:07 > 0:32:09And I like it because it's rare.

0:32:09 > 0:32:14Yes. I mean, it is on the blokey end of collectable,

0:32:14 > 0:32:17but, you know... Anyway, very good. Well done, Claire.

0:32:17 > 0:32:19That's marvellous. Well done for that.

0:32:19 > 0:32:21Why don't we find out right now, for the audience at home,

0:32:21 > 0:32:24what the auctioneer thinks about Claire's heater?

0:32:24 > 0:32:25Right then, John Leatt.

0:32:25 > 0:32:28There we go - a little bit of automobilia for you.

0:32:28 > 0:32:31It's made by Powell and Hanmer of Birmingham.

0:32:31 > 0:32:33When does it date from, John?

0:32:33 > 0:32:35London, 1945.

0:32:35 > 0:32:37That's what the collectors like, isn't it?

0:32:37 > 0:32:39- All the period pieces.- They do.

0:32:39 > 0:32:42Absolutely. It's got a lot going for it.

0:32:42 > 0:32:43It's an unusual item

0:32:43 > 0:32:45and condition is very good again.

0:32:45 > 0:32:47- What's your estimate?- Between £30 and £60.

0:32:47 > 0:32:51Well, there you go. Clever old Rawle has found it for £28.

0:32:51 > 0:32:54Let's hope that she gets a bit of success,

0:32:54 > 0:32:56and you can warm them up, John!

0:33:09 > 0:33:11Jennifer, Wendy, how are you feeling?

0:33:11 > 0:33:12- Very confident.- Confident, yes.

0:33:12 > 0:33:15- You're excited, aren't you?- We are. - Yes.

0:33:15 > 0:33:17We bought low and we're going to make profit.

0:33:17 > 0:33:22- £18 you paid on your opaque glass, pressed glass jugs.- Yes.

0:33:22 > 0:33:26He's estimated those at £15 to £30, so that's nicely in the middle.

0:33:26 > 0:33:27Here it comes.

0:33:27 > 0:33:31Press-moulded glass, three examples - a pair and a single.

0:33:33 > 0:33:36£15. At £15. Start me at £15.

0:33:36 > 0:33:37Come on!

0:33:37 > 0:33:40Who'll start me at £15? £10, then.

0:33:40 > 0:33:41I'll come down to £10.

0:33:41 > 0:33:43At £10, will you?

0:33:43 > 0:33:44At £10. Interest at £10?

0:33:44 > 0:33:46- At £10, anybody?- Please!

0:33:46 > 0:33:47£5, then?

0:33:47 > 0:33:49Ouch!

0:33:49 > 0:33:51£5 in front.

0:33:51 > 0:33:53At £5. Yours at £5.

0:33:53 > 0:33:55Anyone else at £5?

0:33:55 > 0:33:56No, please, no!

0:33:56 > 0:33:58£8 on the internet.

0:33:58 > 0:33:59At £8.

0:33:59 > 0:34:02Anybody else at £8?

0:34:02 > 0:34:04At £8, anybody else?

0:34:04 > 0:34:05All done and selling at £8. All done?

0:34:07 > 0:34:08- No!- Oh, that's rubbish!

0:34:08 > 0:34:10Oh, no!

0:34:10 > 0:34:12That's minus £10.

0:34:12 > 0:34:14- Minus £10?- They were beautiful. - Never mind.

0:34:14 > 0:34:16We'll claw it all back now. You watch.

0:34:16 > 0:34:18Scandinavian art glass. This one here.

0:34:18 > 0:34:21Five of those. Who'll start me at £30?

0:34:21 > 0:34:23At £30, start me, will you?

0:34:23 > 0:34:25At £30, will you start me at £30?

0:34:25 > 0:34:26At £30, will you, at £30?

0:34:26 > 0:34:27£20, then.

0:34:27 > 0:34:29Straight in at £20, madam. £20.

0:34:29 > 0:34:31Anyone else at £20?

0:34:31 > 0:34:33Yours at £20. Anyone else at £20?

0:34:33 > 0:34:35£22 on the internet.

0:34:35 > 0:34:36£25.

0:34:36 > 0:34:38At £25, in front of me in the room. At £25.

0:34:38 > 0:34:40Yours at £25, madam. £25.

0:34:40 > 0:34:42At £25. Out on the internet.

0:34:42 > 0:34:44£25 in the room.

0:34:44 > 0:34:46At £25. Anybody else at £25?

0:34:46 > 0:34:47All done and selling, then.

0:34:50 > 0:34:51I don't want to hear this.

0:34:51 > 0:34:53That's minus £25.

0:34:53 > 0:34:55That's minus £35.

0:34:55 > 0:34:56Dear, oh, dear!

0:34:56 > 0:34:58Don't rub it in!

0:34:58 > 0:34:59Thanks for coming(!)

0:34:59 > 0:35:01OK, now...

0:35:01 > 0:35:03Sorbet/bombe mould,

0:35:03 > 0:35:05and who'll start me at £20?

0:35:05 > 0:35:07At £20, start me, will you?

0:35:07 > 0:35:09At £20 for it. £20 for the mould.

0:35:09 > 0:35:11At £20, will you? £15?

0:35:11 > 0:35:13At £15?

0:35:13 > 0:35:14This is awful!

0:35:14 > 0:35:17At £15. Got you, madam, at £15.

0:35:17 > 0:35:18At £15. Lady's bid at £15.

0:35:18 > 0:35:20I've got £15 here.

0:35:20 > 0:35:22- Anyone else?- This is awful!

0:35:22 > 0:35:23Anyone else at £15?

0:35:23 > 0:35:25Anyone else at £15?

0:35:25 > 0:35:28- Please!- Well, you're in profit.

0:35:28 > 0:35:31Anyone else? Not on the internet, not in the room. At £15.

0:35:31 > 0:35:32All done at £15?

0:35:34 > 0:35:36You've just made £1!

0:35:38 > 0:35:39That is absolutely terrible!

0:35:39 > 0:35:41I cannot believe...

0:35:41 > 0:35:43Don't worry. You just made £1.

0:35:43 > 0:35:46That's very good. That reduces your losses to minus £34.

0:35:46 > 0:35:51How...? I cannot believe... Those items were so lovely!

0:35:51 > 0:35:53I'm in your camp.

0:35:53 > 0:35:54That's auctions.

0:35:54 > 0:35:57- Aw!- It just shows, you can't tell.

0:35:57 > 0:36:01- What are we going to do? Are we going to go with the lipstick? - I think so!

0:36:01 > 0:36:03Absolutely. Small is beautiful. Yes.

0:36:03 > 0:36:06- Like Wendy?- Like both of us!

0:36:06 > 0:36:08We like it.

0:36:08 > 0:36:09We're going with it.

0:36:09 > 0:36:11- Definitely.- Lovely.

0:36:11 > 0:36:13Well, now you've decided, I can tell you what his estimate is.

0:36:13 > 0:36:17Not that that makes much difference! £30 to £50 he's estimated.

0:36:17 > 0:36:20Paul paid £24. He reckons you could double your money on this.

0:36:20 > 0:36:22Well, we'd better!

0:36:22 > 0:36:23- Yes.- Fingers crossed.

0:36:49 > 0:36:51£28. That's £4 profit. Well done, Paul.

0:36:51 > 0:36:56£28 is plus £4, which means, overall, your score is minus £30.

0:36:56 > 0:37:00- That could be a winning score today. Just don't say a word to the Blues, all right?- We won't.

0:37:00 > 0:37:02- Thank you very much.- Thank you.

0:37:08 > 0:37:09So, Susan, Graham,

0:37:09 > 0:37:12- do you know how the Reds got on? - No idea.- Very good.

0:37:12 > 0:37:14Don't want you to know.

0:37:14 > 0:37:17Your aneroid barometer... £30 you paid for that.

0:37:17 > 0:37:19Clean as a whistle

0:37:19 > 0:37:22and working, I think. He has estimated it at £15 to £25.

0:37:22 > 0:37:24And here it comes.

0:39:47 > 0:39:49We're going with that, yeah?

0:39:49 > 0:39:50We all love that.

0:39:50 > 0:39:53- We love it.- I think you were very clever to find that.

0:39:53 > 0:39:55They deserve to make a decent profit.

0:39:55 > 0:39:58Anyway, here it comes.

0:40:00 > 0:40:01The under-car heater.

0:40:01 > 0:40:05Good condition. Who's going to start me at £30?

0:40:24 > 0:40:26- £28. £30.- Yes!

0:40:26 > 0:40:28Anyone else at £30?

0:40:28 > 0:40:30At £30. Anyone else at £30?

0:40:30 > 0:40:32At £30. At £30, all done?

0:40:32 > 0:40:34At £30.

0:40:34 > 0:40:36Selling at £30, all done.

0:40:38 > 0:40:41We just got to his low estimate, Claire. £30.

0:40:41 > 0:40:42But it gives you a profit of £2,

0:40:42 > 0:40:44which is nothing to cry about.

0:40:44 > 0:40:46Overall, you're minus £40.

0:40:46 > 0:40:50Who knows, you Blues, today that could be a winning score,

0:40:50 > 0:40:52so say not a word to the Reds.

0:40:59 > 0:41:02- Well, what excitement! Been chatting at all between you?- ALL: No!

0:41:02 > 0:41:06No? Well, there are remarkable similarities between our teams' performance today.

0:41:06 > 0:41:11Each team has managed to make a profit on one of the items

0:41:11 > 0:41:13that it bought.

0:41:13 > 0:41:15Each team went with the Bonus Buy,

0:41:15 > 0:41:18and each expert made a profit on their Bonus Buy.

0:41:18 > 0:41:22Each team is not going home with cash.

0:41:22 > 0:41:26Because each team has managed to lose overall.

0:41:26 > 0:41:28And there's only £10

0:41:28 > 0:41:30between our teams today.

0:41:30 > 0:41:32So is this exciting or is it exciting?

0:41:32 > 0:41:35I mean, it's so exciting, I'm quite beside myself.

0:41:35 > 0:41:38But I have to reveal that the runners-up today,

0:41:38 > 0:41:41who are £10 more down the proverbial lavatory,

0:41:41 > 0:41:43are, today, the Blues.

0:41:43 > 0:41:45No!

0:41:45 > 0:41:47Minus £40.

0:41:47 > 0:41:49Which means that lot -

0:41:49 > 0:41:52shrieker over here, our Wendy - is ahead.

0:41:52 > 0:41:55Anyway, all those similarities

0:41:55 > 0:41:57sadly added to a total of minus £40.

0:41:57 > 0:42:00- Which wasn't really right, was it? - That was good, for us!

0:42:00 > 0:42:02We're proud, really.

0:42:02 > 0:42:04And I think you should be proud of your tray, quite frankly,

0:42:04 > 0:42:08because everybody was sniffy about that and it did jolly well.

0:42:08 > 0:42:10And thank you for the car heater, Claire.

0:42:10 > 0:42:13A resounding success, with a profit of £2!

0:42:13 > 0:42:15A huge profit(!)

0:42:15 > 0:42:18- Have you had a good time, Graham? - Yes.- Susan, been fun for you? - Fantastic.

0:42:18 > 0:42:20Thanks for being such good sports.

0:42:20 > 0:42:23But the victors today, who win by only managing to lose £30,

0:42:23 > 0:42:25are very, very happy with that,

0:42:25 > 0:42:27which is great, actually.

0:42:27 > 0:42:32You did have some unbelievably inexpensive objects

0:42:32 > 0:42:33in your tally, didn't you?

0:42:33 > 0:42:37How five pieces of Scandinavian glass could only sell for £5,

0:42:37 > 0:42:39I just do not know.

0:42:39 > 0:42:40It's robbery!

0:42:40 > 0:42:44But anyway, the lipstick holder glued it all together for you,

0:42:44 > 0:42:48which was very nice. Thank you, Paul Laidlaw, for that.

0:42:48 > 0:42:50Anyway, we've had great fun.

0:42:50 > 0:42:53In fact, join us soon for some more bargain-hunting. Yes?

0:42:53 > 0:42:54ALL: YES!

0:42:56 > 0:42:58I know you're sitting there thinking,

0:42:58 > 0:43:00"I could have done better than that!"

0:43:00 > 0:43:03Well, what's stopping you?

0:43:03 > 0:43:05If you think you can spot a bargain,

0:43:05 > 0:43:07go to our BBC website and apply.

0:43:07 > 0:43:09It'll be splendid to see you!
