0:00:02 > 0:00:05Welcome to West Sussex,
0:00:05 > 0:00:10officially the United Kingdom's sunniest county
0:00:10 > 0:00:15with an annual 1,902 hours of sunshine.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18Not that it looks particularly sunny today,
0:00:18 > 0:00:22so let's just hope it doesn't rain on our purchasing parade.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Let's go bargain hunting, yeah!
0:00:46 > 0:00:51Today, at the Ardingly International Antiques and Collectors Fair,
0:00:51 > 0:00:53our teams have just one hour
0:00:53 > 0:00:57to pick over this welter of bargains,
0:00:57 > 0:01:02all the while hoping, of course, that £300 will be enough.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Here's a taster as to what's coming up. Oh, yes.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11'Today, Kate Bliss loses ground with her Reds.'
0:01:11 > 0:01:14They've gone. Oi!
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Come on, I'll race you!
0:01:18 > 0:01:20- Let's go.- Let's go.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24'Whilst the Blue Team struggles to find common ground.'
0:01:24 > 0:01:28- I think they're awful.- You're only saying that cos I said they were...
0:01:28 > 0:01:32- He's trying to get his own back. - I think they're awful.- Touche!
0:01:33 > 0:01:38- 110. 120.- 'Will they reunite and find harmony at the auction?'- One more!
0:01:38 > 0:01:41'Let's meet today's contestants.'
0:01:44 > 0:01:48And on our teams today, resplendent in Red,
0:01:48 > 0:01:50are partners Natasha and Stephen,
0:01:50 > 0:01:55and for the Blues, we have a married couple, Chris and Denise. Hello, everyone.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- Hello, Tim.- Hello. - Lovely to see you.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Now, Nat... Or can I call you Natty?
0:02:00 > 0:02:06It was your love of Canadian rock that brought you together, so are you geologists?
0:02:06 > 0:02:11No, not quite. We met at a Bryan Adams concert about 15 years ago
0:02:11 > 0:02:17at Wembley Arena in the queue waiting to go in.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22Then we met maybe four or five days later again in the queue at the Brighton Centre
0:02:22 > 0:02:26when he plucked the courage up to ask me for my phone number.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Oh, how sweet is that!
0:02:29 > 0:02:33So Bryan Adams has a special place in your hearts?
0:02:33 > 0:02:37- He has a lot to answer for. - He does. How many times have you seen him perform?
0:02:37 > 0:02:40I would say at least 150, maybe more.
0:02:40 > 0:02:45- Good Lord!- In New York, Paris, Switzerland, all over this country.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49- No wonder he's such a wealthy man! - Yeah, yeah.
0:02:49 > 0:02:54- Stephen, today should be straightforward for you sorting out the cash flow.- It should, yeah.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57I work for HSBC Invoice Finance based in Worthing.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00You're also collecting crazy between you?
0:03:00 > 0:03:07- Yes.- How many pieces of Whitefriars have you got?- 300, 400 pieces maybe? - Quite a few.- Lovely.
0:03:07 > 0:03:13- What about lava lamps?- Quite a few. - Yeah, a hundred or so maybe. - Quite a few rare ones.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18- What about Smurfs? - There's got to be about 400 of those maybe, all different.
0:03:18 > 0:03:24- Lego?- Yeah, Star Wars Lego is quite a big passion of mine.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26- Good fun. And good luck. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31Now, the Blues... Chris, you have something in common with Stephen's employment.
0:03:31 > 0:03:36Yes, I'm a banker too. A different bank, but a banker nonetheless.
0:03:36 > 0:03:41- But you've been all over the world? - Yeah, we've lived in Belgium, in Singapore.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45And we spent more recently four years in Thailand which was a blast.
0:03:45 > 0:03:50- You must have picked up a few souvenirs in your travels, Denise, have you?- Quite a lot.
0:03:50 > 0:03:55- Like what?- We had our third child in Singapore.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Did you? Oh, that little precious!
0:03:57 > 0:04:04- And our fourth child from Thailand. - Did you?- That's why we've had to return to the UK.- Too expensive.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06What do you collect then, you two?
0:04:06 > 0:04:09I do most of the collecting. Denise does the polishing.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12So, a bit of vitrail glass
0:04:12 > 0:04:17and I've been collecting, since I was a boy, Broons and Oor Wullie annuals.
0:04:17 > 0:04:23- They're the equivalent to a Dandy or a Beano kind of thing.- Yes. - Every year, they bring one out.
0:04:23 > 0:04:28You never know what you're going to find out there. You might even find a lovely annual.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Here comes the money. £300 apiece, there you go.
0:04:31 > 0:04:36You know the rules, your experts await and off you go.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40And very, very, very good luck. How lovely to have two lots of bankers!
0:04:40 > 0:04:46Well, money-minded they might be, but even they are going to need financial assistance today.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Saddling up for the Reds today is that fine filly Kate Bliss.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55And sitting pretty for the Blues is the handsome Charles Hanson.
0:05:00 > 0:05:06- Denise and Chris, Chris, Denise... - Yes.- I feel really in safe hands with you being a banker.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Not everybody would say that!
0:05:08 > 0:05:13- I do, but we've got a lot to spend. - Yes, we're going to spend it all.
0:05:13 > 0:05:19- I'm relying on you to do the maths with your banker head on. Will you keep us in check?- I'll give it a go.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- This hour could change our life. - It could.- I hope so.
0:05:22 > 0:05:27- So you've got an open mind?- Totally. - Very open.- That's what I like. Let's go for it.- Let's go.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29It would be good to start over here.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34- And the plan is?- Blow the lot. - Right?- Blow the lot. - Let's do it.- Let's go.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39Now then, bargain hunters, I think we can BANK on a great show today!
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- Natasha...- Oh, I'd love that!
0:05:54 > 0:05:56We're in, we're in.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- What have you got?- A Tube sign. - A Tube sign.- A Tube sign.
0:06:00 > 0:06:06- Do you like these? - I absolutely love the Underground. - Do you? Is it a bit of an obsession?
0:06:06 > 0:06:11Yes. It's the shape. It's the roundel shape. To me, that's iconic Underground.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- Oh, he's away.- 250.- How much?- 250.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15Oh!
0:06:15 > 0:06:19It's a great size, but I'm not sure how old it is.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23- It's more modern. - '60s, '70s, something like that?
0:06:23 > 0:06:29- Rather than early part of the 20th century.- I'm quite attached to that. - You are straight out of the blocks.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33- We have got about 58 minutes, guys, to have a look around.- Yeah.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38- Why don't we have a word with the guy on the way out and see what we can do?- OK.- OK.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41The Reds have signalled their intentions.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- # I'm going underground - Going underground
0:06:44 > 0:06:47# The brass bands play and feet start to pound... #
0:06:47 > 0:06:52Also straight on the case is our business-like Blue Team who head straight for the silver.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56There's nice little bits of silver over here.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59You've got a pair of silver grape scissors
0:06:59 > 0:07:03which are hallmarked for London in the year 1814.
0:07:03 > 0:07:09- So, you're talking a year before the Battle of Waterloo. How much are they?- 450.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14- 450?- Indeed.- Small is beautiful. - Yeah.- But they're so rare.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- We'll leave them. Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:07:17 > 0:07:23- The inkwell's quite nice. - The inkwell's sweet. That's nice. Chris, sell it to me.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27- Why?- It's functional. I think it's quite elegant.- Yes.
0:07:27 > 0:07:33- There's a bit of age to it. 1920? - It's almost like a miniature sort of capstan inkwell, isn't it?
0:07:33 > 0:07:39- The dimpling, quite clearly over the years, it's had some knocks and wear.- I quite like that.- It's sweet.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43It's Art Deco. Think of a young flapper girl in the '20s.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46It's practical. It's something you can still use now.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- Is that price 68 or 88? - It's 68.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53- 68.- What do you think?- It could make 70, but I'd be surprised.- OK.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58- And there might be a small discount? - There would indeed. - Good man. Look at his face.- Yes.
0:07:58 > 0:08:04- Look at his face.- As it's you, I'll do a straight 50 for you. - That's not bad.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Can you do a little bit better than 50? 40?
0:08:08 > 0:08:14I was going to say we had it up at 68. If I take another two off, that's £20 off which I think is...
0:08:14 > 0:08:19- What do you think? Has it got a chance?- You've got to believe. You've got to dream.
0:08:19 > 0:08:24- Do you like that?- Yeah. - It's probably the money, but you're both taken by it.- Yeah.
0:08:24 > 0:08:30- You're local people down here. A lot more people might want to buy that. - I think we'll take that.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33- Thank you very much. - Thank you.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37I like it. We're off and running. Guys, that's conviction!
0:08:37 > 0:08:39- Thanks a lot.- Thank you.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Barely eight minutes gone and the Blues have opened their account.
0:08:47 > 0:08:52Meanwhile, let's catch up with negotiations back in the Red camp.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Your sign back there, what's the best?
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- 250.- Right, OK.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03My concern is that it is later. It's later 20th century, probably '60s, '70s.
0:09:03 > 0:09:09And the most commercial ones will be obviously the most well-known Tube station stops,
0:09:09 > 0:09:11but having said that, it's a great size.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- It's massive.- It's a large size.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17I want it under 200 quid. I'd pay under 200 quid for it.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20How's 199?
0:09:20 > 0:09:23That is just under 200 quid!
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- I would say... Shake my hand. - OK, lovely.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- Thank you very much.- Are you happy with that?- Very happy.
0:09:29 > 0:09:34- Thank you for your help.- No problem. - Can we pick it up later? - Not a problem.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36- Thanks very much.- Cheers.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- Thank you!- Bye-bye.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Well done. You were straight in there.
0:09:41 > 0:09:46Let's hope that £199 won't be going straight down the tube!
0:09:55 > 0:09:58I love this. Can I look at your little caddy stand?
0:09:58 > 0:10:02- I love this. You're a golfer, aren't you, Chris?- I am.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Look at this. Isn't that wonderful?
0:10:04 > 0:10:06What you've got here is a golf caddy
0:10:06 > 0:10:10described as being a "scarce silver pin cushion".
0:10:10 > 0:10:14You've also got your hat-pin holder which is the golf bag
0:10:14 > 0:10:16and it's 1909.
0:10:16 > 0:10:22That is such a novel item and you know how the golfing market is so worldwide.
0:10:22 > 0:10:27- How much is it?- 295.- 295. - You don't like it, do you, Chris?
0:10:27 > 0:10:32- No. We're saying "no" on this one. - Thanks for coming(!) Thanks for coming.- OK.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35It's novelty, you see, Chris. Look at me, Chris. It's novelty.
0:10:35 > 0:10:41- It's novelty, but expensive novelty. - Take a chance.- Not yet. - Thank you very much. We'll leave it.
0:10:41 > 0:10:46- Thank you.- Thanks. - 'Nice try, Charles, but the Blues have chipped you into the rough.
0:10:48 > 0:10:53'As the Blues go on hunting for bargains without Charles,
0:10:53 > 0:10:57'let's see if he can score a hole in one with my mystery item.'
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- Charles, here's a test for you.- OK.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Now, what, my friend, do you make of that?
0:11:03 > 0:11:07- Crikey me! You appear to be holding a handle.- Yes.
0:11:07 > 0:11:12And I was going to say it's almost a lantern, like a torch
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- which you might place on to a pole. - Yes.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- Tell me, has it got great pedigree?- No.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21It must be, I suppose, 1920s, a bit early, give or take.
0:11:21 > 0:11:26- It could be. It's just thin tin.- It is thin tin.- Cheap bit of rubbish.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29I thought at first maybe it was a gardening implement.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34But I think on a flagpole it would sit and maybe have a beacon of light coming out of the top.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38- Absolutely. Like something from the Armada.- Exactly. Or the Olympics.
0:11:38 > 0:11:43- Good. That's a very good stab, Charles, I'd say.- I think so, Tim.
0:11:43 > 0:11:48- I think it sat on something like that.- Yes. Something like your thumb!- Exactly.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51I don't understand why you bought it.
0:11:51 > 0:11:57- To show you, Charles, and to show Kate in a minute. Thank you, Charles.- Thank you, Tim. Pleasure.
0:11:57 > 0:12:02'Whilst Charles rejoins his team, Kate appears to have misplaced hers.'
0:12:02 > 0:12:05I've lost them. They've gone.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08They've got a bit of pace on them. Oi!
0:12:08 > 0:12:12You could say they're BLISTERINGLY fast!
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Any luck?
0:12:15 > 0:12:18What do you think of that, Kate? A British Rail clock.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21There are two of them, actually.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25- They're modernish.- Yeah.- Modern movement.- British Rail - good.
0:12:25 > 0:12:30- A modern movement? Are you winding me up?- Age - bad. Not quite old enough for me.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- OK.- That's another "no" for the Reds then.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37But remember, time is ticking on.
0:12:42 > 0:12:47I like these book-ends. They're quite novel. They're good. These here.
0:12:47 > 0:12:52- No, I don't like those. - Look at those. Chris, look at me. - They're awful, honestly.
0:12:52 > 0:12:57- Don't you like them? - They're miniature brown furniture. - Look at me.- I'm looking.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01- They're awful.- I think they'll appeal to militaria collectors.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04You've got this delightful cast-iron riveting here.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08- But you don't like them. - Either that or Arsenal supporters.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11- Charles, what do you think of these? - What are they?
0:13:11 > 0:13:17- Are they little incense burners? - Yeah, they've got tea lights in them.- I guess they're pretty modern.
0:13:17 > 0:13:22- There's a weight to them if nothing else.- There is some weight. A lid comes off.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25I'm guessing. Or the door opens rather.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30- Oh, look, you have a little... - Tea light.- Tea light.- Tea light in there.- They're quite nice.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34- I think they're awful.- You're only saying that cos I said they were...
0:13:34 > 0:13:40- He's just trying to get his own back.- Chris, I think they're awful. - Touche! You don't like those?- No.
0:13:40 > 0:13:46'Despite a good, fast start, both our teams seem reluctant to invest in their second item
0:13:46 > 0:13:48'with only 15 minutes remaining.
0:13:48 > 0:13:54'While her team shops on, I've stolen Kate to tantalise her too with my mystery item.'
0:13:54 > 0:13:58- Hello.- Kate, here's a little point of interest.- I'm intrigued.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02- What do you make...- Oh, my word! - ..of this offensive weapon?
0:14:02 > 0:14:06- Do you like it?- I do...like it.
0:14:06 > 0:14:13It's obviously a holder for something. It's a finial at the same time, so it stands on something.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- It's quite decorative. - It's very decorative.
0:14:16 > 0:14:21It's definitely for outdoors. Perhaps it's the green that's making me think "gardening".
0:14:21 > 0:14:25- I'm very fond of green myself. - I know, it suits you.
0:14:25 > 0:14:31- What intrigues me is this angle.- The angle of dangle?- It's not straight. - No.- You've got an angle there.
0:14:31 > 0:14:37Right. Do you know, you're three-quarters of the way there, but not quite.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41All will be revealed when we go and find Charles.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45- Where do you suppose Charles is? - He's probably having a cup of tea.
0:14:46 > 0:14:51'No time for hot beverages yet, Charles. Maybe we'll stop for tea later, eh?'
0:14:51 > 0:14:55Charles, what do you think of that? Piece of Whitefriars.
0:14:55 > 0:15:00- I think that's lovely. - It's in good condition. No signs of any...- No nibbles on it.
0:15:00 > 0:15:06- It must be, what, 1960s? - No, it's pre-Second World War. - Really? Even earlier? Wowee!
0:15:06 > 0:15:12- 1930s, Whitefriars posy vase. I like the colour.- That's a really fine thing.- It's elegant. I like that.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14I do like it. Do you, Denise?
0:15:14 > 0:15:18- Sort of.- Denise, look at... Give me some love.
0:15:18 > 0:15:23- I like this one. I like more colour. - I think the Whitefriars might do better at auction.
0:15:23 > 0:15:28- What would be your best? - What's on it? 70. I'd do that at 55.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31It's funny, I just had this ring of £50.
0:15:31 > 0:15:36To me, it just sounded almost a done deal. I think it's a great colour.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40- - For you, I will do it at £50. - Super.- Look at that.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44- Shake his hand quickly. Shake his hand.- Thank you very much.
0:15:44 > 0:15:50- Thanks very much. Thank you. Shake his hand, Denise, quick.- Thank you. - Before I change my mind.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- Two down.- Two down, guys.- One to go.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Deal done. That's item number two bagged.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02Hang on. Kate's lost those rapid Reds again.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06You see, I thought I was quite quick.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08And they've gone!
0:16:09 > 0:16:15Now I can't even find them. I've got one over there and the other one's in here.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20They could do with being a bit speedier with the spending though.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22# Keep on running... #
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- Come on. I'll race you! - # Keep on hiding
0:16:27 > 0:16:31# One fine day I'm gonna be the one to make you understand
0:16:31 > 0:16:35# Oh, yeah, I'm gonna be your man... #
0:16:35 > 0:16:38It's the long legs!
0:16:38 > 0:16:40That little sun-catcher's fantastic.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Yes.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Yes. Do it.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49- Yeah, go for it. - How commercial though? Swedish?
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- Yes.- Yeah...- I'm not so sure about it either, Kate.
0:16:52 > 0:16:59- Nice, but just the object itself isn't that commercial, I would say. You like 'em?- I do like them.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03Yes, but on reflection of not having any time now...
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- So, they're probably what, '60s? - Yeah.
0:17:06 > 0:17:11- Very stylised. You hang them up in your window to catch the sun?- Yeah.
0:17:11 > 0:17:17- Were you thinking of one or the set? - Just one. We haven't got a lot of time. We have to get something.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22What's your best? Can you do it at nine, so if it goes for ten, we make a profit?
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- OK.- Yeah? Nine quid.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27- I'd have that.- Yeah.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30- Go for it.- I can't see it making a huge amount at auction.
0:17:30 > 0:17:35- Yeah, I think it's fine.- Are you happy?- Yeah.- Go for it.- You're not!
0:17:35 > 0:17:38It's completely opposite to what you'd normally...
0:17:38 > 0:17:42- We've just got no time, so we've just got to...- Let's do it.- Nine quid.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44- Happy?- Yes.- Great.- Nine quid, done.
0:17:44 > 0:17:50- Ten minutes left for the third object. Well done. That's number two in the bag.- Brilliant.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54- Well done.- I'm not feeling very well. I'm feeling stressed.
0:17:54 > 0:17:59- They bought that quicker than you can say "panic buy".- So, up here!
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Still, they do need to motor.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05There's precious little time left because...
0:18:08 > 0:18:14How much... Out of interest, I'm just admiring over here, in between my luscious pair,
0:18:14 > 0:18:19this nice pair of Orrefors Olympic candle-holders. Could they be a good price?
0:18:19 > 0:18:23- I think that IS a good price. - Could they be a really good price?
0:18:23 > 0:18:29Because they capture the essence of the Olympic year and they're going to long live in public opinion.
0:18:29 > 0:18:35I've got to be honest, because of how I bought them, the best I could make those would be £80.
0:18:35 > 0:18:41- What would be the best on those? - The best I could make those would be 95.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45- So, it's between these and these. - What do you think? Denise?
0:18:45 > 0:18:49- I like those.- Denise, you've got to go sometimes with your instincts.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53- What was the best on these? - The best I could do would be 95.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Would you take 90 for them?
0:18:55 > 0:18:58I'll split the difference - 92.50.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00- 92.50. Denise?- What do you think?
0:19:00 > 0:19:05- I'd personally go for those down there. - You just want more money to spend.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09- I just think they probably... - We have to decide. Babe, you pick.
0:19:09 > 0:19:15- Denise, go for what you like. - I'll go for those.- Go for the blue and white.- Blue and white.
0:19:15 > 0:19:16- Thank you. - Thank you.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20- Sometimes luck can be a lady and you never know.- Maybe not this time.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24Not my taste, but they could be the public taste. Good job.
0:19:24 > 0:19:29Just to clear that up then, that's £92.50 for the pair
0:19:29 > 0:19:33and it's the Blue Team's third and final purchase. Well done.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38- Kate, we're really struggling. - Panicking and struggling. - Have you found something?- Yeah.
0:19:38 > 0:19:43What do you think of this? It is a biscuit tin, believe it or not.
0:19:43 > 0:19:48You've got the "Crawford" name, William Crawford & Sons Ltd on the bottom there,
0:19:48 > 0:19:51but it's styled as a Georgian tea caddy, basically,
0:19:51 > 0:19:55and the decoration here, which has been transfer-printed on,
0:19:55 > 0:20:02is simulating probably satinwood and walnut which is making this very Georgian-style tea caddy.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06Open it up inside and you can see it's actually nice and clean.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10I think it's a nice object. It's certainly collectable.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12But the bad news is...
0:20:12 > 0:20:17- It's 25 quid.- It's £25 which I don't think it would make at auction.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19It's shockingly expensive(!)
0:20:19 > 0:20:23- As we look to you... - 20 quid if you like.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27- Really?- That's not bad. It's very clean.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29£10, £15? No?
0:20:29 > 0:20:35- Can you do it for 19 quid, so if it sells for 20...- You make a whole pound.- We make a pound profit.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- Yeah, I guess so.- Yeah?
0:20:38 > 0:20:43- What have we done?- Done. Too late. Sorry, Kate.- Thank you.- Too late.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46- Well done, guys, three objects. - Done. Thank you, Kate.
0:20:46 > 0:20:51- Happy?- Yes, thank you.- For better or for worse, we're done. Well done.
0:20:51 > 0:20:56Would you credit it? Time's up. But before we re-cap on today's purchases,
0:20:56 > 0:20:59let's finally reveal what my mystery item is.
0:21:01 > 0:21:07- Charles, do you want to know what's going on with this?- Can I have one more guess or not? May I?
0:21:07 > 0:21:11- You've been thinking about it.- Has it something to do with lawn tennis?
0:21:11 > 0:21:14- Absolutely nothing.- OK. Drainage?
0:21:14 > 0:21:19- Absolutely nothing.- I give in. - That was two guesses.- Statue of Liberty?- Statue of Liberty!
0:21:19 > 0:21:23It is an oddball thing. I have to say, I've never seen one before.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27You approach it so correctly, Kate, at the angle of dangle
0:21:27 > 0:21:31because you have a wooden post under here just like you said, Charles,
0:21:31 > 0:21:35and what you have to think about is one of these.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39- An apple-catcher.- Because where on your tree you've got your apple,
0:21:39 > 0:21:41up you come with your catcher like that
0:21:41 > 0:21:46and it catches the apple exactly in that crenellated top.
0:21:46 > 0:21:51- You give it a tweak like that. The apple doesn't fall to the ground or bruise.- No.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55- Inside your doo-dah you've got your apple.- Cheers.- Isn't that fantastic?
0:21:55 > 0:22:01- I should have got that. - That's genius. - Both of you were incredibly close(!)
0:22:01 > 0:22:06- Fun though, yes?- Very good, Tim. Very novel.- Let's go and find these teams, yes?- Yes.- Off we go.
0:22:06 > 0:22:11So, with the mystery cleared up, let's take stock of what the Red Team bought.
0:22:11 > 0:22:16They started off by unearthing this enamel London Underground sign.
0:22:17 > 0:22:22This small, glass, Swedish sun-catcher was a ray of sunshine.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26Just £9 paid. Finally, hoping to avoid a credit crunch,
0:22:26 > 0:22:30they bought this Georgian-style, novelty biscuit tin. Hmm, biscuits!
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- No regrets?- None at all. - Still happy?- Yeah.- Yes.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37- God, you motored! I'm shattered. - Sorry, Kate.- Sorry.
0:22:37 > 0:22:44- You're not the only one, girl. They're fit.- Cor! I couldn't keep up.- These bankers keep running.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Can't afford to stop. Good on you.
0:22:46 > 0:22:52- You spent well.- Yeah, we've done 199, 9 and 19 - 227. £73 left?
0:22:52 > 0:22:56- I don't even need to do the maths. Quick like that! OK, got it?- I have indeed.
0:22:56 > 0:23:01That's lovely. Thank you very much. Jolly good. Straight over to KB.
0:23:01 > 0:23:07- Thank you very much.- What are you going to go for?- I might have a few ideas with these two, actually.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- See you later.- Good luck. - Good luck, Kate.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14Meanwhile, we're going to check out what the Blue Team bought.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20The writing may be on the wall with this 1920s, silver capstan inkwell.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Did they pay too much?
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Next they chose the Whitefriars glass posy vase,
0:23:25 > 0:23:27bought for £50.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Last but not least,
0:23:29 > 0:23:34they couldn't resist the pair of blue and white, twin-handled vases.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38- How are you on counting, Chris?- I'm a banker, so I'm pretty good, Tim.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40What was your total spend?
0:23:40 > 0:23:43190 pounds and 50 pence.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46190 pounds and 50p,
0:23:46 > 0:23:49so I want 100 pounds and nine pounds
0:23:49 > 0:23:51- and 50p.- Absolutely.- £109.50.- Yes.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- Got it?- I have.- Got it.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56You've had it on deposit, I see.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00- No interest.- No interest. That's typical, isn't it?- Sorry.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04OK, now, this bundle is going to Charles Hanson.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06- It's a lot of money.- Yeah.
0:24:06 > 0:24:11It's a worry, but having learnt about Chris and Denise, they've travelled extensively,
0:24:11 > 0:24:15they like hot countries, I'll buy something to warm you up.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19- A little bit of hot property? - Exactly.- OK, that looks like fun.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21And good luck with your quest.
0:24:21 > 0:24:27Meanwhile, I'm going to show you something that I found on my travels a little earlier.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31It could be sweet, it could be tasty. Tea, anyone?
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Oh, I do like a cup of tea, don't you?
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Of course, it is our national beverage.
0:24:42 > 0:24:48The other thing I like is all the accoutrements that go with nice, genteel tea drinking,
0:24:48 > 0:24:52the sort of things that you find sometimes, if you're lucky,
0:24:52 > 0:24:55in leather-covered boxes like these.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Handsome, aren't they?
0:24:57 > 0:25:01They look a bit like scientific instruments.
0:25:01 > 0:25:07Actually, the secret is given away in the lid of this box which is printed "Vilcar"
0:25:07 > 0:25:11who patented a whole range of sugar tongs.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15They're all hallmarked between 1908 and 1911,
0:25:15 > 0:25:20so it's one of these miraculous Edwardian inventions.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24If I pick this one up, you can see we've got a pair of tongs
0:25:24 > 0:25:28which has an unnaturally large plate there.
0:25:28 > 0:25:36You'd expect that to shut by squeezing it in the normal tong-type method.
0:25:36 > 0:25:41Vilcar didn't like that idea, so they came up with a different engineering solution.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44You put your fingers on these plates and squeeze
0:25:44 > 0:25:49and what it does is the pressure between your two fingers here
0:25:49 > 0:25:53compresses the gap between these two plates
0:25:53 > 0:25:57which makes the metal bend exactly there on the fulcrum point
0:25:57 > 0:26:02and hey presto, the tong goes down on to the plate.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06These two follow the same pattern.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10Similarly, you compress the two plates at the end
0:26:10 > 0:26:13and that opens the sugar tongs.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17Let's have an experiment. Open it up, look, grab a lump of sugar.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20It grips it most beautifully.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Extremely clever.
0:26:22 > 0:26:27And what would they cost you? £220, which is no price to pay
0:26:27 > 0:26:30for all this super-duper intelligence.
0:26:30 > 0:26:35In fact, it's what you call a bit of a sweet deal.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Hmm! I don't take sugar either.
0:26:42 > 0:26:48So, back to business. Let's see what our auctioneer thinks about the teams' items, eh?
0:26:48 > 0:26:5185. All done and selling at 85...
0:26:53 > 0:27:00Well, well, how lovely is this to be still in the county of West Sussex, but this time in Wisborough Green
0:27:00 > 0:27:05- with Jonathan Pratt, our auctioneer of the moment at Bellmans. What more can I say?- Carry on.
0:27:05 > 0:27:12- I was enjoying that.- Lovely to be here. First up for the Reds is the London Underground sign - Archway.
0:27:12 > 0:27:17We've had a big thing about the London Underground - 150 years of the London Underground.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21It's kind of at the fore of everyone's thoughts perhaps.
0:27:21 > 0:27:26But this is a trendy, young person's thing to have as a bit of interior decoration.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28- Yeah.- If you're urban.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32If you're urban and you live around Archway, then yeah.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36- What would be your estimate then? - It's about £80 to £120-worth.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40They paid £199 which is quite a few fares.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Yeah, I was afraid you might say that.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46We've never seen one sold on Bargain Hunt ever before,
0:27:46 > 0:27:49an enamel Underground sign,
0:27:49 > 0:27:52so I think it's quite cool, actually.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54They didn't have much money left,
0:27:54 > 0:27:59so they went for a bit of Scandinavian glass, this Holmegaard pendant.
0:27:59 > 0:28:04- I'm not sure whether you hang it round your neck or what you do. - It's a sun-catcher.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Yes. Anyway, so how much?
0:28:07 > 0:28:10- £15 to £25.- £9 paid. That's a good profit.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14And I must say, I rather like this Crawford's biscuit tin.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16I'm a great fan of biscuits.
0:28:16 > 0:28:21It'll appeal to you as a biscuit tin. I like it because it looks like a Georgian tea caddy.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25- I think it's really clever. How much?- 20 to 40.- OK, £19 paid.
0:28:25 > 0:28:31So, they have two very good buys, in my view, and one dodgy one there.
0:28:31 > 0:28:36If the dodgy one doesn't work, they'll need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40OK, you two lovebirds, you spent a massive £227.
0:28:40 > 0:28:45You invested heavily and you gave Kate Bliss £73 to go off and find you something tasty.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47Kate, what did you find, darling?
0:28:47 > 0:28:54You bought such an eclectic mix of objects. It was quite tricky. I had a few ideas, but I went for this
0:28:54 > 0:28:56because it was so cheap!
0:28:56 > 0:28:58- Oh!- There we go.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02We have what I think is a lovely decorative mirror. It's Victorian.
0:29:02 > 0:29:08It's gilt and gesso with mouldings. It's very much in the classical style.
0:29:08 > 0:29:13Originally, obviously, an over-mantel made to go over a fireplace probably,
0:29:13 > 0:29:17but the sort of thing that the interior decorator loves today.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19I think it's a great decorative object.
0:29:19 > 0:29:24Crikey! It's got the look, hasn't it? My gosh, it's got the look!
0:29:24 > 0:29:28- It's not what I was expecting.- Not at all.- But I actually quite like it.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30How much did you pay for it?
0:29:30 > 0:29:33I tried hard not to spend too much,
0:29:33 > 0:29:37so this was £63, the "three", of course, being very important.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39- £63.- Yes.- How much?
0:29:39 > 0:29:41- 63.- Is that all?- Hmm.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45- Think about it.- I'm impressed. - That's a chunk in good condition.
0:29:45 > 0:29:52Yeah, I can see it making... On a good day, it ought to be 100, 150, I would say, but who knows?
0:29:52 > 0:29:55- That's a lovely prediction, isn't it?- It certainly is.
0:29:55 > 0:30:00It gives you something to think about while we trot off, for the audience at home,
0:30:00 > 0:30:05and find out what the auctioneer thinks about Kate's over-mantel mirror.
0:30:05 > 0:30:11Look at that, JP - what they call a landscape over-mantel mirror of the most standard variety.
0:30:11 > 0:30:16The ornament's quite nice, a bit of acanthus-moulded baluster round it,
0:30:16 > 0:30:21some reeding, very typical as you'd expect for the early part of the 19th century.
0:30:21 > 0:30:26- The mirror's not too bad. Ought to be worth a lot of money. How much is it worth?- £70 to £90.
0:30:26 > 0:30:33Is that all? I can remember a time when those things were making £150 to £250. Has the value come down?
0:30:33 > 0:30:39- Has this one not been painted a little bit with the brush? It looks very matt.- That's fair comment.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43It's had a bit of a tickle-up and its colour isn't quite original.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46That cunning minky Kate, she only paid £63.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50- It's the perfect sale for it. - Good. You would say that.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues...
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Silver capstan inkwell.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Miserable little thing.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00- Could use it as a candlestick too. - Yeah.
0:31:00 > 0:31:06They say size isn't everything, but I think in capstan inkwell terms, it jolly well is!
0:31:06 > 0:31:10- Big man, big desk, big inkwell. - Yeah.- That's got that cracked.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12- How much is it worth? - About £30 or £40.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16Is it? £48 paid. That's too much, I reckon.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20OK, now the Whitefriars posy bowl...
0:31:20 > 0:31:22Typical 1930s stuff, isn't it?
0:31:22 > 0:31:25Even the colour, the whole thing screams 1930s.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28- Do you like that?- Personally, no.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31- Is it worth anything?- There are collectors for Whitefriars out there,
0:31:31 > 0:31:34but they're looking for the big, impressive pieces.
0:31:34 > 0:31:38- So, it's too small again?- Yes!
0:31:38 > 0:31:41- What's it worth?- £20 to £40.- £50 they paid, so they paid too much.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Now, the pair of vases.
0:31:43 > 0:31:49- That's a good shape.- Yeah, there's an element of the classical about them, like an amphora.- How much?
0:31:49 > 0:31:54- £30 to £50.- £92.50 paid, which is a shocker.
0:31:54 > 0:32:00They paid too much for the inkwell, too much for the Whitefriars and too much for these vases.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02- Go, Charlie!- Go, Charlie!
0:32:02 > 0:32:05- Sorry.- They're going to need their bonus buy.
0:32:05 > 0:32:11Denise, Chris, this is exciting because you left Charles Hanson with £109.50.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15Charles can be eccentric sometimes when it comes to his bonus buys.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19- So, Charles, show us what you bought then.- We went a bit quirky.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Yes.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25What I bought were two weather vanes.
0:32:25 > 0:32:31I like them because they're jovial, they're fun, the weather is fine, you know it's a sign,
0:32:31 > 0:32:34come to auction with something that's a bit quirky.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36Here we've got a washerwoman.
0:32:36 > 0:32:41When the wind blows, this will go round and she'll be working hard paddling.
0:32:41 > 0:32:47Then furthermore, this huntsman here will run, run, run once the vane goes round.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50- Let's hope for a gusty auction. - Right.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53How does it strike you, Denise?
0:32:53 > 0:32:55- Different.- Yeah.
0:32:55 > 0:33:02- It doesn't have much to do with the banking industry.- No, I'm lost for words. I don't know what to say.
0:33:02 > 0:33:07Some would say "hideous" and some would say "mechanical and charming", right, Charles?
0:33:07 > 0:33:10I just feel they're ingenious as contraptions.
0:33:10 > 0:33:16They probably are 1930s and because they're painted wood, I think it's nice they're still here.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19Did you pay more than £10, Charles?
0:33:20 > 0:33:23Well, with inflation, together with interest,
0:33:23 > 0:33:27they cost me, Chris, the grand sum of £50.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29- £50.- Oh, Lord!- Denise...
0:33:29 > 0:33:33- OK.- How much do you think they might make?
0:33:33 > 0:33:39- Who knows?- It's a bit of a punt because we've never sold anything like these before on Bargain Hunt.
0:33:39 > 0:33:44With a wind blowing, Tim, and the auctioneer behind them,
0:33:44 > 0:33:46they could fly away literally.
0:33:46 > 0:33:52We've got an excellent auctioneer today. Why don't we consult him, for the viewers at home,
0:33:52 > 0:33:56as to what he thinks about Charles' wind vanes?
0:33:57 > 0:34:02- Nee-oww! Here we go, look, JP. - Fantastic, look at that. - Look at that!
0:34:02 > 0:34:07- Now, this is what I call "shed art", right?- Mm-hm. I think it's wonderful.- Do you?
0:34:07 > 0:34:14If it was complete and in its full glory with the wind blowing on it, it's quite a fun thing, isn't it?
0:34:14 > 0:34:18I suppose so. I think what offends me is it's so crudely made!
0:34:18 > 0:34:22- £40 to £60, Tim.- Really? - Yeah.- OK, £50 paid by the Hanson.
0:34:22 > 0:34:28He's clearly of your ilk and let us hope that both of you are right and I'm wrong.
0:34:28 > 0:34:33On that happy note, we're off to the auction in a minute. Are you taking the sale?
0:34:33 > 0:34:36- I definitely am. - Thank goodness for that!
0:34:36 > 0:34:39I shall sell it for £150.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43All done, fair warning, £150...
0:34:45 > 0:34:49- Now, Natty, Stephen, how are you feeling?- Yeah, good.- Yes.
0:34:49 > 0:34:55It's a bit nippy in this room, but let's hope the temperature will rise when we come to your lots.
0:34:57 > 0:35:03So, first up is the Archway Underground sign and here it comes.
0:35:03 > 0:35:09Lot 2150, a London Underground, large enamel sign for Archway.
0:35:09 > 0:35:13- I have bids to start me at 60, 70, 80 on the book.- Come on!
0:35:13 > 0:35:16At £80. I'll take 5. At £80.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20Where's 5 now? At £80... 85. 90.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22- 95. 100.- Yeah.

0:35:24 > 0:35:26- Against you at £120.- Go on!
0:35:26 > 0:35:31- 130. 140. Go one more.- One more! - £140 against you.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35150 clears my commission now. I shall sell it for £150...
0:35:35 > 0:35:39- And he's sold it.- Better than we thought.- That's not too bad, is it?
0:35:39 > 0:35:43£150 it sold for, which means you're minus £49.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46Good. Next up is the glass disc. Here it comes.
0:35:46 > 0:35:512151, a Holmegaard, orange glass sun-catcher.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54£10? Where's 10? There's 10, in the hat at the back.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57- We're in profit.- 12 seated, madam? 12.- Yes.- 15.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59- Yes.- On a roll now.
0:35:59 > 0:36:03£15 at the back of the room. Any more? Yours, sir, at £15...
0:36:03 > 0:36:07- Yes, you've got plus £6. - Good girl!- You made a profit.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09- Minus 43.- That's not too bad.
0:36:09 > 0:36:14Lot 2152, a William Crawford & Sons novelty biscuit tin.
0:36:14 > 0:36:18I rather like this. Start me at £30? Start me at £30?
0:36:18 > 0:36:21- Fun lot, this, for £30...- 30?
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Let's start at 10 and go up. Where's £10? 10, I'm bid.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26Looking for 12 now. I've got 10. Where's 12?
0:36:26 > 0:36:2812. 15.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30- 18. 20.- Profit.
0:36:30 > 0:36:35- £20 on the right. At 20. I shall sell at £20...- Come on. 20?
0:36:35 > 0:36:38I'll sell it then for £20. All done at £20?
0:36:38 > 0:36:41- £20. It's £20.- It's a pound. - A profit's a profit.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45- You're clawing it back. - Not bad. A tiny bit.- £42, minus.
0:36:45 > 0:36:51- What are you going to do about the mirror?- Go for it.- Go for it. - Are we all agreed with that?- Yes.
0:36:51 > 0:36:55- Yes? OK, brothers, sisters. - Don't look at me!
0:36:55 > 0:37:00We're going with the bonus buy. Let's go and see it sold.
0:37:00 > 0:37:04Surely start me at £40 for this? Nice over-mantel at £40?
0:37:04 > 0:37:06At £40? 20 to get it off the ground?
0:37:06 > 0:37:1020's bid. Thank you. At 20. 25. 30.
0:37:10 > 0:37:1335. 40. 45. 50.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15- Yeah. Come on.- £50. Here at £50.
0:37:15 > 0:37:19Surely worth another fiver, sir? £50 here. 55. 60.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23- Go on.- £60. It's in front here at 60.- Go on!- Where's 5? 65.
0:37:23 > 0:37:2670... £70 here.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29- Any more?- Go on!- At the front at £70. I shall sell it at 70.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32- It's your last chance, sir. - One more!
0:37:32 > 0:37:35- In the front at £70... 75.- Yes! - 80. At £80.- Again!
0:37:35 > 0:37:39£80 at the front here. Fair warning, I shall sell...
0:37:40 > 0:37:42- Well done. - Well done, Kate. Brilliant.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46That is plus £17. Well done, Kate Bliss.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49- You did well. - That is absolutely super.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53- That's minus £25.- Not bad. If only the sign went for more...
0:37:53 > 0:37:57Bearing in mind the ups and downs of it all, that's very good.
0:37:57 > 0:38:03- Are you pleased with that in the circumstances?- Yes.- Better than we thought it was going to be.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07- You gave them a good shout.- Yeah. - You frightened the audience!
0:38:07 > 0:38:11- I think you did.- No, you didn't at all. Thank you very much.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13- Just don't say a word to the opposition.- OK.
0:38:13 > 0:38:18- Minus £25. That could be a winning score. Thank you. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27- Do you know how the Reds got on? - No.- No idea.
0:38:27 > 0:38:31You don't know how the Reds got on. That's a good thing, I'd say,
0:38:31 > 0:38:36because we don't want their score to affect your decision to go with the bonus buy.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40- That's why we don't tell you what their score is.- OK.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44Let's go with the inkwell. It's your first item and here it comes.
0:38:44 > 0:38:49We have a silver capstan inkwell, Birmingham, 1920.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52Someone start me at £30 for the capstan inkwell?
0:38:52 > 0:38:55Get the ball rolling at 30? Maiden bid of 30.
0:38:55 > 0:38:59We've got £30. At 30. Where's 5? £30 dead ahead. Looking for 5 now?
0:38:59 > 0:39:02Any further interest? At £30.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06Lady's bid. I'm selling. All done at 30...?
0:39:06 > 0:39:08- 30 to 30.- We may have lost already!
0:39:08 > 0:39:1230 for 30. There we go, that's minus 18, I'm afraid.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14Lot 2173.
0:39:14 > 0:39:19We have a Whitefriars, yellow-tinted glass rose posy vase.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23£30 to start me? Get the ball rolling at £30? At £30 for the Whitefriars?
0:39:23 > 0:39:25Always popular, £30. Come on. 30?
0:39:25 > 0:39:2720? Whitefriars?
0:39:27 > 0:39:30- 10?- Good Lord!- Hands shoot up.
0:39:30 > 0:39:35There's 10. 20 on the net. You can go 5 now. 25 in the room. Thank you.
0:39:35 > 0:39:3730. £30 on the net now.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40I'm sure you want to go one more, sir.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42- 35 in the room again. - Come back in.- 40 bid.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Go on!
0:39:44 > 0:39:48£45 is bid. Don't stop there, internet. £45...
0:39:48 > 0:39:52- Don't lose it for one bid.- Go on! - £45, I shall sell...
0:39:52 > 0:39:5745. You're just £5 off. That's ridiculous, isn't it? Minus £5.
0:39:57 > 0:40:01- Unlucky.- Overall, you're minus 23. - He worked really hard.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04- Here's your pots, love. - Go on.- Oh, dear!
0:40:04 > 0:40:08Lot 2174, a pair of blue, decorated, twin-handled pottery vases.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10Very decorative. £30 to start me?
0:40:10 > 0:40:12£30? £20 then?
0:40:12 > 0:40:14Come on, "Denis, Denis". What's happening?
0:40:14 > 0:40:18- £10.- Oh, no! - There's a sigh at the back.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20£10. Let's move on now.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23£10. Where's 12? 12. 15.
0:40:23 > 0:40:2618. 20. 25?
0:40:28 > 0:40:3325. Standing in the centre at £25. £25, I shall sell, fair warning...
0:40:33 > 0:40:36£25.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38It was a really hard hour, wasn't it?
0:40:38 > 0:40:41Minus 67.50.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43Minus 90.50.
0:40:43 > 0:40:47- What are you going to do about the bonus buy?- Might as well go for it.
0:40:47 > 0:40:52- We're in a hole. We may as well dig a bit deeper. - You're going with the wind vanes.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55OK, fine. £50 paid. The decision is there.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59- Let's get the wind behind it. - We believe in you.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01We need a Force 14 gale to blow us home.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04And £20, I'm bid. I've got £20 to start me.
0:41:04 > 0:41:08- Straight in at 20. - They're worth that.- 25. 30. 35. 40.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11One more, you're so close. £40, I have.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14Who will go one more? Who wants weather vanes?
0:41:14 > 0:41:18£40 on the book against you. One more? Last chance.
0:41:18 > 0:41:23Is that a bid at the back? 45 clears the commission. I'm out at 45.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26At £45, I shall sell... It's your last chance at £45...
0:41:26 > 0:41:28- Oh, so near!- Charles!
0:41:28 > 0:41:32£45 is minus £5 which means, overall, team,
0:41:32 > 0:41:35you're minus £95.50.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37That's not so hairy.
0:41:37 > 0:41:43Anyway, there we go. The big thing is, don't say a word to the Reds, all right?
0:41:43 > 0:41:47We'll reveal the winners and the runners-up in a moment. Thank you.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50- Thank you.- Good sports you are! - Thanks, Charles.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02Well, teams, isn't this super-duper to be here all together and so happy?
0:42:02 > 0:42:08The trials of the bankers, that's what it's been today, the test of the strongest.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11On Bargain Hunt, we can't have two teams of winners.
0:42:11 > 0:42:15We have a team of winners and a team of runners-up.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18- And the runners-up today are the Blues.- Yes!
0:42:18 > 0:42:20SHOUTING AND LAUGHTER
0:42:20 > 0:42:23- There we go.- I can't believe it.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26The Blues managed to lose £95.50.
0:42:26 > 0:42:30It all went very, very badly from top to bottom.
0:42:30 > 0:42:35- Mm-hm.- I see nothing but minus, minus, minus and I won't dwell on that lot.- Thank you.
0:42:35 > 0:42:40- Good. There's no point in rubbing it in. Not your day.- Definitely not.
0:42:40 > 0:42:45- But we've loved having you on the show.- Lots of fun. - Had a good time?- Wonderful.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49- And you've had Charles to support you.- Lots of fun.- Thanks so much.
0:42:49 > 0:42:54The victors don't go home with any cash although they deserve to
0:42:54 > 0:42:59because they made a profit on three items, two of their items and on the bonus buy,
0:42:59 > 0:43:03- but their punt on the Underground sign just let you down.- Yeah.
0:43:03 > 0:43:07You deserve to have the money, even though you haven't got it.
0:43:07 > 0:43:11- Had a good time, Natasha?- Great. Fantastic.- It's been brilliant.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13We've loved having you.
0:43:13 > 0:43:17- In fact, why don't you join us soon for more bargain hunting, yes?- Yes!
0:43:17 > 0:43:21I know, you're sitting there thinking,
0:43:21 > 0:43:23"I could have done better than that!"
0:43:23 > 0:43:25Well, what's stopping you?
0:43:25 > 0:43:30If you think you can spot a bargain, go to our BBC website and apply.
0:43:30 > 0:43:32It'll be splendid to see you.
