0:00:07 > 0:00:09I've got an interesting fact!
0:00:09 > 0:00:14Did you know that an anagram of Tim Wonnacott is "Tom cat in town"?
0:00:14 > 0:00:19It's true! So, brace yourselves, Horncastle,
0:00:19 > 0:00:21because this pussy is ready to pounce!
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Let's go bargain hunting. Miaow!
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Gosh! This is a pretty place, Horncastle in Lincolnshire.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58It's also stuffed to the gunwales with antique shops.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02We're ready to go shopping, but here's a taster as to what's coming up.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07'On today's show, the reds' expert has a whale of a time.'
0:01:07 > 0:01:11LAUGHTER
0:01:11 > 0:01:13- LAUGHING:- Are we going? - We are.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16'On the blue team, there's a man on a mission.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20'But who will be laughing as they race to the auction?'
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- Does he always stride off? - 'Let's meet the teams.'
0:01:27 > 0:01:31On today's programme, we have two teams of happily married couples.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34For the reds, we've got Clive and Kate.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37For the blues, we've got Mark and Gaynor. Hello, everyone.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39ALL: Hello.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Kate, how did you meet Clive?
0:01:41 > 0:01:46We were both performing in the Scout and Guide gang show and he tweaked my socks!
0:01:46 > 0:01:51Did he really? What had happened to your socks? Had they fallen down?
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- They weren't quite level.- I see.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56What else keeps you busy, Kate, apart from Scouting?
0:01:56 > 0:02:01I'm a training manager for an independent childcare training company.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- You're training child carers?- Yes.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08- You're in the wrong colour cos you like to be in blue.- Normally, yes.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Been a policeman now for 26 years.
0:02:10 > 0:02:15If I were to shake your hand in a certain way, I'd get a sort of response, wouldn't I?
0:02:15 > 0:02:21- Yes, you would.- Why would that be? - I've been a Freemason for 14 years.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24It's a secret society, so you're not supposed to talk about it?
0:02:24 > 0:02:28It's not a secret society. It's a society with secrets.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30- Oh, I see. - KATE LAUGHS
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- Different play on the word. - But safe with you?- Yes.
0:02:33 > 0:02:38- How do you think you'll get on on Bargain Hunt? Are you going to do brilliantly?- Of course.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Are you going to lay a little Scouting trail for us to follow?
0:02:41 > 0:02:45- Break a few twigs?- Light a fire here and there.- That's it.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Preferably not in the antiques centre.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51- Anyway, very good luck.- Thank you. - Lovely to meet you.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55- Gaynor, you've got something in common with Kate.- Yes.- What's that?
0:02:55 > 0:03:01- I'm a registered childminder. - You've turned to this relatively recently, have you?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04I was a childminder before, but I returned to it in June.
0:03:04 > 0:03:09- Before that, I was running my own ironing business. - The childminding took off?
0:03:09 > 0:03:13Yes, it took off so well that I asked my husband, Mark, to join me.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17So he now does the jobs... that I tell him to do.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- Are you happy about this, Mark? - I am.- Can't say anything else.
0:03:20 > 0:03:25I get given my daily routine in the morning and I just crack on with it.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29So what do you get up to when you're not looking after the ankle biters?
0:03:29 > 0:03:34I enjoy anything outdoors - fishing and I love walking.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38- Says here you've done the Three Peaks Challenge. - Yeah. I've done that two times.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42What about antiques? Do you know anything about 'em?
0:03:42 > 0:03:46We like looking round antique shops, car boot sales, anything like that.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- We do like Art Deco. - That's a particular period you like?
0:03:49 > 0:03:53Yeah, we both like it. When Mark was going to ask me to marry him,
0:03:53 > 0:03:58he booked us on the Orient Express for a 1920s event and it was fantastic.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02- But you knew something about that before the off, didn't you?- Yes.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06I HATE surprises. I knew he was going to ask me. I just knew.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09- How did you know that?- I just did. - Felt it in your waterworks?- Yeah.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Plus, he'd asked my mum and Mum told me. Sorry.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15And then, one day, he brought in a safe.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19He said, "You can't look in there." Then I found the combination.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Opened it and it was a curtain ring.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24In it was, "Keep looking, you nosey...person!"
0:04:24 > 0:04:26TIM LAUGHS
0:04:26 > 0:04:30- That is a fantastic start to a marriage, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34I tell you, this is a story today that's so full of love.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Anyway, here's the money moment. Back to reality.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41Thank you for sharing your innermost secrets with me.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44You know the rules, your experts await and off you go.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46And very, very, very good luck.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Gosh! Isn't anything safe?
0:04:49 > 0:04:55'Today's teams can be SAFE in the knowledge that they've a fine pair of experts with them.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59'The reds have the big cheese of antique boffins...
0:04:59 > 0:05:03'The blues have the sweet and very smart...'
0:05:09 > 0:05:14- Mark, what are you looking for? - Nice piece of Art Deco, something for the house.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16It's easy to find good things.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19The art is finding good things at a good price.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23- I like Art Deco, too.- That's good. So you might agree on something.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28'Ah, good. They've found their way to the antique shops.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32'The antiquaries are spread across town. That'll keep them fit.'
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- BEEP - 'Was that Claire or the door?'
0:05:37 > 0:05:42- Right, gosh, lots and lots of china. - Lots and lots of stuff.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46It's quite difficult to see through. You have to see if anything...
0:05:46 > 0:05:48- BEEP - ..catches your eye.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52'For those that are curious, I don't think Claire made that noise.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55'It was the shop's door alarm. Carry on, team.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58'Meanwhile, the reds appear to be looking at something blue.'
0:05:58 > 0:06:02- I quite like that. - That wee cake stand?- Yeah.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04I like it, but I can read the price.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07It would have to be 15 or 20, not 85.
0:06:07 > 0:06:12- Don't mind me being as dismissive as that, but if it's a country mile off...- Yeah. Fair enough.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15We can be ambitious, but not unreasonable.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17'I think you're reason incarnate, Paul.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19'Now, blues.'
0:06:19 > 0:06:23- What about the toys?- Yes. - Oh, my brother had that transporter.
0:06:23 > 0:06:28- There's a police car there.- Children would love that, wouldn't they?
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- £45.- It's not out of the way at that.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34I'd expect it to make about that at auction.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- So if you can get it for a bit less. That's a possibility?- I like that.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Yeah, I like that.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43'It may make a few coppers, or perhaps a bob or two!
0:06:43 > 0:06:46'Now, what have the reds found?'
0:06:46 > 0:06:49It's a frivolous wee thing that. So what do we have?
0:06:49 > 0:06:54- We have got a...- Bakelite notepad. - I agree with that.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58Dual appeal here. You get collectors of Bakelite and early plastics.
0:06:58 > 0:07:04Also, I think, because of the Art Deco aesthetic,
0:07:04 > 0:07:09the interest in that '30s and into the '40s is hot.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Yeah.- And, dare I say, I think it's practical.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16Tell you what I don't like. It's not ambitious. £20.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- Let's aim higher.- Yeah. - But bank that.- Yeah.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23If we've got five minutes and we're thinking we've only got £20 left...
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- What do you think?- Yeah. Definitely.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29'He likes to lay a good game plan, does that Mr Laidlaw.'
0:07:29 > 0:07:33- I noticed the Ruskin vase. - I was looking at that.- Well-spotted.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37It's quite hidden. It's really nice. I like the look of that.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40I think we'll get that out and have a good look at it.
0:07:40 > 0:07:46'Don't drop it, Claire. Arcade manager John likes careful customers.'
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- There we go. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52- What sort of period would that be? - Ruskin was early 20th century.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55This one doesn't actually look that old.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59It's a slightly later one, but it has got the nice glaze.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Lovely colour. It's a good, good name.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05I think the colour's lovely. The bottom's quite dull.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08You get this lovely iridescence
0:08:08 > 0:08:12- that he is well-known for. - How does it sell?- Very well.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15He is very collected. The earlier stuff makes huge money.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- TAPPING VASE - This seems to be in good order.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Can't hear any cracks or chips.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25- The all-important thing is the price.- What's the best price?
0:08:25 > 0:08:30The best price will be... I could do it for 126.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33- 126?- Yes.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- Could you do 120? - 125 and you've got a deal.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38125. What do you think?
0:08:38 > 0:08:40- Do you like it?- Yeah, I do.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42- Are you happy with that?- Yeah.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46- Right, OK.- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49'Look at that! Mark got right in there and struck the deal.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52'He's racing ahead.'
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- Does he always stride off?- Yeah.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58He takes the children for a walk in the buggies.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- The kids get G-force! - Like in jet fighters?- Yeah.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05'Now, reds, have you made any progress?'
0:09:05 > 0:09:09Time-wise, we're ten minutes down, which isn't the end of the world.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13But in another ten minutes, we need to have bought something.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- No pressure(!) - ALL LAUGH
0:09:15 > 0:09:19'The blues feel SO much pressure they look to a higher power.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23'Only joking! This church is now an antiques shop.'
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Don't forget to look up. People always forget to look up.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30See what you can see above your head.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32That's everything to me! CLAIRE LAUGHS
0:09:32 > 0:09:36'But don't go bumping into things, eh, chaps?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39'And Paul, don't put your foot in it, mate.'
0:09:39 > 0:09:43- Clive, you're police?- Yes. - What on earth do you at the masons?
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- PAUL LAUGHS - I was...- Can I say that?- Yeah!
0:09:46 > 0:09:50I'm involved in Scouting. I came off a parade one year.
0:09:50 > 0:09:55One of our members asked me have I had any thoughts about joining the Freemasonry?
0:09:55 > 0:10:00- What's this secret handshake? Is that a real thing? - There is a secret handshake. Yes.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04It's us identifying to each other that we are Freemasons.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07But also, to what part we are in Freemasonry.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11- So it's not just one handshake. There are several.- Holy Moses!
0:10:11 > 0:10:15- We'll shake on that, won't we? - Normal handshake!
0:10:15 > 0:10:19'You'd better get a shake on, reds. You haven't got all day, you know.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23'Over in the church, Gaynor and Mark are spooning.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24'Cheeky!'
0:10:24 > 0:10:28- Could we have a look at the caddy spoons?- Yeah.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- 'Oh! That kind of spoon!' - Let's find the man with the keys.
0:10:31 > 0:10:36'And the man with the keys is the manager, Jeremy.'
0:10:36 > 0:10:39That feels a really nice weight.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- What's that like? - Light as a feather.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48Oh, yes. You do feel as if you're getting more for your money.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51'When it comes to silver, a bit of weight goes a long way.'
0:10:51 > 0:10:55It's a nice sharp shape. You've got the shell at the end.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59They have become really collectable. They're ever so pretty.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02What do you think it'd go for at auction?
0:11:02 > 0:11:04What's it got on it? 48.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07It ought to really make about that.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11- So we need to try and get a bit off that.- A little bit off that.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13What would be the best you could do on that?
0:11:13 > 0:11:16< I'd do it for 42.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- Could you do 40 on that? - I can't.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- Can I have another...?- Indeed.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Check what you're spending your money on.
0:11:24 > 0:11:29'Something tells me there won't be any purchase here until Mark is completely happy.'
0:11:29 > 0:11:31I do like that. 42?
0:11:31 > 0:11:35That's not a bad price. There should be something in it at that.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38It's silver. It's decorative.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42- It's ticking the right boxes, as far as the auction goes.- I do like that.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- I think we're going for that one. - Brilliant.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Thank you very much. Cheers.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50I'll pop it on the counter. Thanks very much.
0:11:50 > 0:11:55'That's just divine! Two items for the blues in half an hour.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58'I'm beginning to lose faith in the reds, though.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00'Spend some dough, you lot!'
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Do you know what that is?
0:12:03 > 0:12:05- No.- It's a dough bin, a farmhouse piece.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09What you get here is, arguably, a working surface,
0:12:09 > 0:12:12but importantly, underneath,
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- a space for proving, I guess.- Yeah.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18- I like that.- Very rustic piece!
0:12:18 > 0:12:22- Nice cottage, flag floor.- Yeah.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25You could just about stick a flat screen TV on that!
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- It's a piece of occasional furniture.- Yeah.
0:12:28 > 0:12:33£78 for a rustic piece like that
0:12:33 > 0:12:36is not a big ask, in my opinion.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38I tell you what. I'd ask what that could be.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42'Yes. It could be a TV stand. I thought we'd established that.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48'I thought you were about to start spending there, reds.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51'The blues are all done in the church.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55'Yet again, Mark's motoring ahead. Keep it up, blues. One more to go.'
0:12:59 > 0:13:03If it's here, it's not going to take us long to find!
0:13:03 > 0:13:05I was looking at this. I don't know...
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Hm, how do I feel about that?
0:13:07 > 0:13:10It is VERY - can I say this? -
0:13:10 > 0:13:12- Downton Abbey!- Right, OK.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16This is your very smart Edwardian breakfast buffet.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20- Cut to the chase. Have you got a price there?- 45.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24- It's worth 20 to 40 at auction.- OK. - That's another thing we ask about.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27'Well, you can ask till you're red in the fleece.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31'You need to get some things bought. The blues have a superior hand.'
0:13:31 > 0:13:35- Look at that lovely crib board. - Isn't that pretty?- For God's sake!
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- What's wrong with that? - He's taught my son to play crib!
0:13:38 > 0:13:43- Don't you play crib? - Oh, no! It's maths and confusing. - Exactly! Maths. It's good.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Let's see if we can get in here. Hey, presto.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49If I hold the lid, do you want to grab it?
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- It's nice, isn't it? - It's nice. It's very light.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Don't be put off by that. It might be a light sandalwood.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03It looks to me as if it's Chinese.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07It is. That's in its favour. Chinese, quite in vogue.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11Typical floral decoration carving in the wood.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15You have got ivory, but it is pre-1947.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19It's an old one so you've got no problems selling the ivory.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22- Could we find out how much it is? - I'm sure we can.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26It doesn't have a price on. I'll go and find out for you.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30'I think you'll find this one trickier to get past Gaynor, Mark.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32'The reds have summoned a member of staff.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35'Come along, James. Get them spending!'
0:14:35 > 0:14:39- Could we just make you a bid? - Yes, by all means.
0:14:40 > 0:14:4220? No. It's not mine.
0:14:42 > 0:14:48I can ring up the person who owns it, but I don't think they'll go below 35.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52Well, while we've got you, we passed on the way up a dough bin.
0:14:52 > 0:14:57It's got 75, 78 on it. Any more mileage in a piece of furniture?
0:14:57 > 0:14:59I can probably do that for 55.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02At 40, I'll wager we could just shake your hand.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04I can ring the person. Could you?
0:15:04 > 0:15:07If it can be that, it's sold.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Thanks very much.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12'Promising, reds. Promising.'
0:15:14 > 0:15:17I've been and asked the gentleman who knows. It's 60.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21It's priced at, but he says 50 is his very best price.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24OK. What do you think, price-wise, for that?
0:15:24 > 0:15:28It's not out of the way at that. I'd prefer it nearer 40.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31At auction, we're looking at 50 to 60.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35It is a decorative item and people collect them that don't play crib.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37- They put them in cabinets.- Why?
0:15:37 > 0:15:41- It's decorative. It's pretty. - You wanted a decorative piece.
0:15:41 > 0:15:46'I bet you cash money Gaynor wasn't thinking of a cribbage board, Mark.'
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Gaynor's not sold on this. We're not badly off for time.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53Shall I pop it back and we'll continue to have a browse?
0:15:53 > 0:15:57'I think Paul's found something right up Clive's street.'
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Where is Clive?
0:15:59 > 0:16:03- What you got there, Paul? - PAUL LAUGHS
0:16:03 > 0:16:06There's something under the hand. What's this? Any ideas?
0:16:06 > 0:16:10- I've got no idea. - It's a kettle stand for a big range.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14- Who would want such a thing? - What are you hiding?
0:16:14 > 0:16:16- What's that?- Wow!
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- Square and compass. - Masonic suggestion.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22'It doesn't come more masonic than the square and compass.'
0:16:22 > 0:16:25It's £75, though. It's too much money.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29'You won't be funny hand-shaking on that!
0:16:29 > 0:16:32'Items one and two came easy for the blues.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34'The third is proving more elusive.'
0:16:34 > 0:16:36I've seen things I like.
0:16:36 > 0:16:41I don't think Gaynor's seen anything she really likes that stands out for her yet.
0:16:41 > 0:16:46No. I'd like a big glass vase, something big statement.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50'What news on the dough bin, James?'
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Yeah, it would be 55 for the dough bin. Sorry.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55It's up to you guys. You're the bosses.
0:16:55 > 0:17:00- Do you want it?- Yeah, I like it. - Sounds positive.- Let's go for it.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04- Shake James's hand is my advice. - Thank you.- James, thanks for that.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Did you get anywhere with the...?
0:17:07 > 0:17:09I couldn't get hold of him.
0:17:09 > 0:17:14I could actually take a gamble and go down to 35 for it.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16- But that would be...- OK.
0:17:16 > 0:17:21'In the blue corner of town, Claire's found just what Gaynor's asking for.'
0:17:21 > 0:17:23That's 55 that's marked up at,
0:17:23 > 0:17:26which is not blowing the lot, which you wanted to.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30- It's pretty. - 'But...'
0:17:30 > 0:17:34- But it's not it.- No? Let's see what else we can find.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37- Oh, no!- There's a crib board. - CLAIRE LAUGHS
0:17:37 > 0:17:40- No?- No.- I think that's no.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44Um... I can see that Gaynor's losing the will to live.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47I know what I'm looking for when I've seen it.
0:17:47 > 0:17:52'Keep trying, Claire. On the other side of Horncastle, the reds are looking back.'
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Are we going to buy the baking dish, if nothing else...?
0:17:55 > 0:17:57- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59- That was positive.- Yeah.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02OK, well, I think we're safe and sound.
0:18:02 > 0:18:07'Actually, not until you find a third item and get item numbers two and three bought.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10'On the other side of town, a similar retracing of steps
0:18:10 > 0:18:13'is taking them towards the thin blue finish line.'
0:18:13 > 0:18:16We'll follow him in again, then.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Shall I help myself? Thank you very much.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24That's the police car. Let me hand that to you.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Careful of its aerial on the back.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30- That's in nice order.- It is, actually. How old would this be?
0:18:30 > 0:18:34These are going to be probably 1960s, coming into the '70s.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38- And it makes a big difference with the box?- It does.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40We are down to five minutes. Was there something else?
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- Another car.- Let me hold this one.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45- Which one is it? - Next to the milk float.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- The Dinky Toy.- This one?- That's it.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50- BEEP - That's not in such good condition.
0:18:50 > 0:18:55'Once again, that noise was the door, not Claire.'
0:18:55 > 0:18:58That's on at 130. That's quite steep for that one.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02You've got more chance of making money on this one than that one.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05- That's at 45.- What do you think?
0:19:05 > 0:19:09- What would be the best on that? - On that one? £40.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13£40. That's pretty good. That's just over 10% off. What do you think?
0:19:13 > 0:19:16- Yeah. Go for it. - We'll go with that?- Yeah.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Thank you.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24'Well done, blues. Reds, it's the silver serving dish.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28'And... Ah! That bright bit of Bakelite.'
0:19:28 > 0:19:33Do you want to nail it now and go for coffee or are we going to run about for five minutes?
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- Let's nail it.- Let's nail it now.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- Go for coffee. - PAUL LAUGHS
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Right, James, can we...?
0:19:42 > 0:19:45'Come along. The reds want to "go home, James"!'
0:19:45 > 0:19:47So is there any movement on that?
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- We're willing to take the silver item upstairs.- OK.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52- For the price of 35.- Yeah.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56- Can we take this down to 15? - I'm afraid not. Sorry.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00I think it's new in and it belongs to the owner.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04- I think 18 is good for that. - Right. We'll do that.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06OK, thank you very much.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Thanks, James.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Did you know that "I sup me tea"
0:20:13 > 0:20:15is an anagram of "time's up"?
0:20:15 > 0:20:20I don't know about this teatime lark because time IS up.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23So why don't we check out what those red fellas got up to?
0:20:23 > 0:20:26I fancy a slice, me. How about you?
0:20:27 > 0:20:32'The reds sought a profit in dough - well, a dough bin.
0:20:32 > 0:20:37'Then they went for silver with this plated serving dish.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41'Finally, they bought this Bakelite desk pad holder.'
0:20:41 > 0:20:43'Ello, 'ello, you lot!
0:20:43 > 0:20:46See how he snapped-to on the "hello, hello"?
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- It's amazing! How are you, Clive-o? - Not too bad.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53- How was your shop?- Very good. - Was it?- Very good indeed.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57- Are you pleased with it, Kate? - Definitely. - He's our number one man!- Exactly!
0:20:57 > 0:21:01- How much did you spend in total? - £108.- Is that all?- Yes.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03- So who's got the 192?- Me, of course.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Very good. I'll take it from you.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09£192. I won't count it. I trust you.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13Your husband's a policeman! There we go. Excellent.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Now, Paul Laidlaw, are you going to find something splendid?
0:21:16 > 0:21:20I sincerely hope so, but I'll tell you what, I'm panicking.
0:21:20 > 0:21:26- Why are you panicking?- Good things weren't priced right today. I don't feel like the gods are with me.
0:21:26 > 0:21:31You could find suddenly it starts going down your gutter, old fruit.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34- I could find a bargain as well! - There you go! All the very best.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38Meanwhile, we're going to check out what the blues bought, aren't we?
0:21:38 > 0:21:44'The blues started off with a John Ruskin vase.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48'Then they chose the silver caddy spoon.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52'Finally, they bought the toy police car and box.'
0:21:54 > 0:21:58- Was it fun?- Yeah, loved it. - Really good.- I'm so pleased.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- You spent a massive amount?- £207.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05That's a proper amount of money. I love it. Who's got the £93 then?
0:22:05 > 0:22:09- I have.- Have you?- Mm-hm. - Please may I have it?
0:22:09 > 0:22:13This is reluctance. Reluctance personified, I'd say.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- But what joy to receive.- Absolutely. I'm not reluctant at all.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20- What are you going to do with that, Claire?- I have got a few ideas.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24Gaynor did want some glass, so I'll see if I can find something.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- Whatever it is, I hope it's going to turn a good profit.- Exactly.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31- We'd like to multiply a profit, if we possibly could. - Yes, I agree with that.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35Meanwhile, I'm heading off somewhere absolutely fabulous.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39'Today's auction will be in Lincoln.
0:22:39 > 0:22:44'On the way there, I stopped off at Lincoln Castle.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49'Lincoln Castle itself no longer stands.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52'Today, the castle walls surround buildings
0:22:52 > 0:22:57'constructed with the purpose of upholding law and keeping order.'
0:22:57 > 0:23:01This building behind me is Lincoln's old courthouse,
0:23:01 > 0:23:05but still doing business as a courthouse to this very day.
0:23:05 > 0:23:10These buildings, though, once housed a debtors' prison.
0:23:10 > 0:23:16They're now part of a museum that houses an extremely precious document,
0:23:16 > 0:23:22a document that enshrines our freedom to this very day.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27'In the early 13th century, England was a troubled land.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31'King John was arguing with everyone from his own barons to the Pope.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33'Taxation had reached stifling levels
0:23:33 > 0:23:37'and reprisals for defaulters were harsh.'
0:23:37 > 0:23:41In 1215... Ha! Round about the time that Bargain Hunt comes on!
0:23:41 > 0:23:44..the King's barons were all in revolt.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47They forced him to sign a document curbing his powers.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51That document is called the Magna Carta.
0:23:51 > 0:23:56Lots of copies were produced at the time, but only four originals in Latin survive
0:23:56 > 0:23:59and one of them is here in Lincoln,
0:23:59 > 0:24:05especially preserved in its own dark place for conservation purposes.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09'So precious is it that a single extra light could harm it,
0:24:09 > 0:24:12'so don't adjust your sets, folks - it's dark in here.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16'Waiting to tell me more is senior lecturer in Medieval Studies
0:24:16 > 0:24:18'at the University of Lincoln, Philippa Hoskin.'
0:24:18 > 0:24:22Philippa, why was King John in such trouble in 1215?
0:24:22 > 0:24:26Well, it's really about money and taxation.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Even before he's King,
0:24:28 > 0:24:32John as Regent has had to raise, literally, a king's ransom
0:24:32 > 0:24:34in order to free his brother,
0:24:34 > 0:24:38King Richard, who's been captured on the way back from the Crusades.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41That means raising loans that the country can't afford.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43So, very unhappy barons.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46What exactly does the Magna Carta say?
0:24:46 > 0:24:50This is Magna Carta, it just means "great charter",
0:24:50 > 0:24:52"big charter" in Latin.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56Basically, it says no-one is above the law, not even the King.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59It limits the King's power.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03At that moment in time, King John, at his whim,
0:25:03 > 0:25:06- could have said, "Off with his head"?- Absolutely.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08The King's word is law.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12So the Magna Carta starts the process of citizens' rights.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16Yes. It's almost a first attempt at a written constitution.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Did it work?
0:25:18 > 0:25:21No! Not immediately. BOTH LAUGH
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Magna Carta only lasts for nine weeks.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28He gets the Pope to annul it, to say that it's not going to stand.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32Which clauses in the Magna Carta are relevant today?
0:25:32 > 0:25:36The most important clause is the one that says...
0:25:46 > 0:25:49So, the King didn't have his way any more?
0:25:49 > 0:25:52- No. The King is under the law. - That's brilliant, isn't it?
0:25:52 > 0:25:55The ink's faded a bit. What's it written on?
0:25:55 > 0:26:00This is on animal skin, stretched and scraped - parchment.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04- Why is it here in Lincoln?- This is the Bishop of Lincoln's copy.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08The Bishop of Lincoln was present at Runnymede and negotiations.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10This is his copy to take home with him.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14- It says "Lincoln" on the back. - That is an amazing story.
0:26:14 > 0:26:19Philippa, you're brilliant for spilling the beans on this important historic document.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23The big question today is, of course, over at the auction,
0:26:23 > 0:26:26quite how many beans are about to be spilt by our teams?
0:26:40 > 0:26:44It's lovely to have come to the cathedral city of Lincoln
0:26:44 > 0:26:48to be in Golding, Young & Mawer saleroom with my old mate,
0:26:48 > 0:26:52- John Leatt.- Welcome to the saleroom, Tim.- Very nice to be here, John.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56The first object for our team today is this dough bin.
0:26:56 > 0:27:01- Dough by name, but is it going to make any?- It's an interesting item.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03It's dual purpose.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07It can be turned into a jardiniere. You could put plants on it.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09But there are downfalls, certainly, with it.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- It's just softwood, isn't it? - Just a softwood.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16- It's the cheaper end of the market. - OK. What's it worth?
0:27:16 > 0:27:20- We think it's worth between £25 and £40.- £55 paid.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22So that may not be so hot.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Now, this is a splendid object.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28I love these entree dishes when they've got the three divisions.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Unusual to get one with a liner. It's in good condition.
0:27:31 > 0:27:37It just appeals to have your vegetables divided in one vessel.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40- Does it appeal to you? - It appeals to me. I'm a typical man.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44I'm not keen on doing too many trips to the kitchen!
0:27:44 > 0:27:48- What do you think it's worth? - We think between £15 and £25.- Uh-oh.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51£35 paid. That's another one that might be a bit light.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55Now, I think you've got to be really imaginative here.
0:27:55 > 0:28:00Think just before the war with the jazz age and Bakelite and the rest.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03How do you rate that desk pad holder?
0:28:03 > 0:28:07It's a very typical piece of Art Deco. It still has a use.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10The interesting thing is that it's got that amber tinge,
0:28:10 > 0:28:12which is quite unusual for Bakelite.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16It's not an unattractive object, I have to say. What's it worth?
0:28:16 > 0:28:21- We think, again, between £15 and £25.- That's fine. £18 paid.
0:28:21 > 0:28:26By the look of it, they're going to need their Bonus Buy, so let's go and have a look at that.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Now, Clive, Kate, this is your Bonus Buy moment.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34You gave your man a massive £192.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38Paul Laidlaw, the Scottish wizard, what did you do with it?
0:28:38 > 0:28:42I think I bought something rather splendid.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44- Ooh.- I bought a tool.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48- What do we think that torture instrument's for?- Mm!
0:28:48 > 0:28:51- I've got no idea! - That's a good guess.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53- LAUGHTER - Kate, can you guess what it is?
0:28:53 > 0:28:55Handle it, darling.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58No.
0:28:58 > 0:29:03Well, that is one rather smart lemon squeezer.
0:29:03 > 0:29:04- Wow!- Yeah?
0:29:04 > 0:29:08Period? Late 19th, early 20th century.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11I think that's elegant, decadent.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15That is a seriously nice thing to adorn a drink cabinet or sideboard.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18What do you think? Have I sold it to you?
0:29:18 > 0:29:20- What did you pay for it? - TIM LAUGHS
0:29:20 > 0:29:23- Right to the nitty-gritty! - Straight in there!
0:29:23 > 0:29:26It cost me £48.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29- You need to ask me what I think it's worth.- Yeah.
0:29:29 > 0:29:35- What's it worth?- It may be a gamble, because I think it's worth 40 to 80.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39If I'm lucky, there's a respectable profit. I've seen them do well.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42- They're uncommon.- What do you think, Kate? Do you like it?- I do.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46I just wonder whether... Would there have been a glass there?
0:29:46 > 0:29:50- Almost certainly, but a tumbler is a tumbler.- Yeah. I like it.
0:29:50 > 0:29:54- Quirky, isn't it? - Well, we heard what the man said.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57You could double your money, if you need to.
0:29:57 > 0:30:01Or you may be making so much profit, you can disregard this joker.
0:30:01 > 0:30:07Anyway, for the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Paul's little squeezer.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11John, I hope you're feeling thirsty.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14That's for you to handle and make what you make of it.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17It's a lemon squeezer. Typical of 1930s.
0:30:17 > 0:30:21Would have gone hand-in-hand with a cocktail shaker.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23- Good condition, interesting item. - Handsome.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27Is that something you're likely to be able to sell well, do you think?
0:30:27 > 0:30:30- We think between £30 and £50. - Do you?
0:30:30 > 0:30:33Well, Laidlaw rates it. He paid £48.
0:30:33 > 0:30:38We're going to have to cross our legs, I fancy.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41Anyway, that's it for the reds. Now for the blues.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45Their first piece is the piece of Ruskin stoneware.
0:30:45 > 0:30:49- John, do you rate that? - I rate it to a certain extent.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52It's a "souffle" glaze. It's clearly marked.
0:30:52 > 0:30:57Interesting colour, but it's not your high-fired decorative items
0:30:57 > 0:31:01that Ruskin did as well, which tends to be where the market is stronger.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04How much do you think this little green pot's worth?
0:31:04 > 0:31:08- We think £30 to £50, something like that.- Oh, Lord!
0:31:08 > 0:31:12£125 paid. Gosh! They've over-cooked that.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16Next is the reproduction silver tea caddy spoon.
0:31:16 > 0:31:21- Which is 1967. - It's very good quality.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25It's far heavier than most the Georgian period ones
0:31:25 > 0:31:28- and it's in lovely condition. - What's it worth?
0:31:28 > 0:31:31- £25 to £40.- £42 paid.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35Just in case we're in trouble, let's consult the police.
0:31:35 > 0:31:39- JOHN LAUGHS - How do you rate this Corgi model?
0:31:39 > 0:31:44I think it's in lovely condition. The box is there. It's a bit tatty.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47It's certainly something that there should be interest in.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50Is it wise to keep these boxes,
0:31:50 > 0:31:53- irrespective of their condition? - I think so.
0:31:53 > 0:31:58- The collector always wants something that's got its original box.- Yeah.
0:31:58 > 0:32:03- Worth much?- Between £5 and £15. - Oh, dear. £40 paid.
0:32:03 > 0:32:08I fancy we're going to have to work hard at the rostrum, John. Let's go and look at the Bonus Buy.
0:32:08 > 0:32:14Gaynor, Mark, this is your moment. You spent 207, which is a magnificent amount.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18Gave the Rawle £93. Claire, what did you spend it on?
0:32:18 > 0:32:21I'm going to help you take that off.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23- # Ta-da! # - Oooh!- OK.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27You wanted glass, Gaynor. The one in my right hand is Victorian.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31It's nicely engraved with someone's name and the date, 1837.
0:32:31 > 0:32:36Very typical Victorian decoration, slightly ferny fronds on it.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38At the other end of the spectrum, I adore the colour.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42This is known as carnival glass. You normally see it in orange.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46- I thought it was really different. - How much did you pay?- £47.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49- For the two?- Yeah, for the two. - That's not bad.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53They should do better than that. I'm hoping for £50, £60.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56- Each?!- No! - CLAIRE LAUGHS
0:32:56 > 0:33:00- What are you like?- We never know. - No pressure there(!)
0:33:00 > 0:33:04We should be in for a profit. On a bad day, glass doesn't do well.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07- But I've got high hopes today. - Excellent.
0:33:07 > 0:33:12That's what I love, forever optimistic, that's what we need.
0:33:12 > 0:33:16Are they pieces that you might have bought, Gaynor, given half a chance?
0:33:16 > 0:33:21Probably not, but I do like it. I do like that glass as well.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23OK, fine. Just hold that thought.
0:33:23 > 0:33:28Right now, for the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Claire's glass.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31Right, John, here's a challenge for you.
0:33:31 > 0:33:37A bit of carnival glass and an engraved tumbler.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40Two different items, different periods, both in good condition.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44This piece in particular, it's leaded glass.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46It's bearing the name of Headfield.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50- Hopefully, we'll find Mr Headfield out there.- It's a long shot, though.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53Slightly!
0:33:53 > 0:33:56This is very ordinary stuff, this press moulded glass, isn't it?
0:33:56 > 0:34:00It's quite collectable, a slightly more unusual colour.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03Most of them appear in this marigold colour. This is green.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06Condition's good. Interesting pattern.
0:34:06 > 0:34:10I think you're being very polite. What's your estimate?
0:34:10 > 0:34:14- Between £20 and £30.- Claire's just paid £47 for these two.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16And she rates them as her Bonus Buy.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20This is going to be a very interesting auction, John. Thank you very much.
0:34:28 > 0:34:33- This is exciting!- It is. - All these people crammed into this room to come and buy your lots!
0:34:33 > 0:34:35- Hopefully.- Maybe.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Anyway, first up is the dough bin.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40- Here it comes.- Lot number 60.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42This pine dough bin.
0:34:42 > 0:34:46£20, will you? At £20. Thank you. Straight in at 20.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49In the room at 20. 22 on the internet.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52At 22. 25. I've already taken £25 on my left.
0:34:52 > 0:34:57It is with me at 25. At 25, at £25 on my left.
0:34:57 > 0:35:0228. 30. At £30. Here at £30. 32.
0:35:02 > 0:35:0535. At £35. Here at £35.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08At 40, sir. Thank you. £42? At £40. 42?
0:35:08 > 0:35:12At £42. Here at 42. £42 on my left.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14I can't bear it!
0:35:14 > 0:35:17- At £45 on the internet. - Go on!
0:35:17 > 0:35:22- Take another bid, if you want to. - That's no money, is it?- No.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Are you all done...?
0:35:24 > 0:35:27Well, chaps. £45. You're £10 light.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Could have been a lot worse.
0:35:29 > 0:35:33I'm feeling reassured. Let's go with the serving dish.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36Silver-plated serving dish, this one here.
0:35:36 > 0:35:40Nice condition. Still got its original liner inside.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44Bit of interest in this. I'll start it here with me at £10.
0:35:44 > 0:35:49- £10. 12. 15. 18. 20. 22. - Can't bear it!
0:35:49 > 0:35:52Yours at 22, sir. In the room at 22.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56I've got you at 22, sir. Lady's bid, 25. Yours at 25.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00- I can't bear this. - Anybody else at 25? Looking for 28.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03At £25. I'm selling at £25, then...
0:36:04 > 0:36:07£25 is minus £10.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09Is this a bit of a pattern developing here?
0:36:09 > 0:36:13How can that only be worth 25? Apparently, it is.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15- Now, the Bakelite. - Bakelite desk clip.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19It's for a little notepad, if you've got one to put in there.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23Bit of interest in this. I'll start it straight in with me at £10.
0:36:23 > 0:36:2712. 15. At £18 with me. At 20 now, sir.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30- 22. 25. 28. 30. - Yes! Go on!
0:36:30 > 0:36:34- 32. £32 at the back. - Go on!
0:36:34 > 0:36:37Anybody else at £32? No? With you, sir.
0:36:37 > 0:36:41- I'm selling at £32. All done? - £32? That's marvellous!
0:36:41 > 0:36:43That is plus £14. I don't believe it.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46You had minus 20. You are now minus six.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49- What are you going to do about the lemon squeezer?- Let's go for it.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53- Why not?- Yeah.- Nothing to lose. - You've got NOTHING to lose.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56Going with the Bonus Buy and here it comes.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59Next lot, number 66, this unusual lemon squeezer.
0:36:59 > 0:37:04Who's going to start me with this at £20 to start it? £20, will you?
0:37:04 > 0:37:06At £20, will you? At 20.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09- Will you start me at £20? Ten, then? - Oh, dear.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12Straight in at ten. 12, sir. 15.
0:37:12 > 0:37:1418. 20.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17At £20 here. 22. 25.
0:37:17 > 0:37:21- 28. 30. 32. - Keep going.
0:37:21 > 0:37:25£32 on my left. At 32. At £32. Anybody else? At 32.
0:37:25 > 0:37:2735 on the internet.
0:37:27 > 0:37:3138 now. £38 on the net. 40 now. £40 on the internet.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35- They've woken up. - Moving on at 42, then.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39At £42, the internet. It's against you all. At £45 on the internet.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42It's all running on the internet.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44I'm selling at 45. All done at 45, then...?
0:37:44 > 0:37:46Oh, no?
0:37:46 > 0:37:50- This is a rare moment! - That's rather sour, isn't it?
0:37:50 > 0:37:52- This is a sour note! - LAUGHTER
0:37:52 > 0:37:54I hate a whiskey sour.
0:37:54 > 0:37:58Anyway, minus £3 on that, which is minus £9 overall.
0:37:58 > 0:38:03The way things are going today, kids, that could be a winning score.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07- So don't say a word to the blues. - We won't.- Bad luck.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16- Now, Gaynor, Mark, Clairy, how are you feeling, kids?- Yeah.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20- All right?- Yeah.- Positive. - Positive.- Very optimistic.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22This is typical Rawle territory.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25- You are a very optimistic woman. - Glass half full, definitely.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29First up is the Ruskin pot and here it comes.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31Next lot, 82, Ruskin vase.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35Souffle glaze, this one here. Good condition.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38I'll start it straight in at £30...
0:38:38 > 0:38:41- ALL LAUGH - It's a start.
0:38:41 > 0:38:45..With me at £30. 32. 35. 38. 40. 42. 45.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48- At 45 here with me. At 50. - Come on!
0:38:48 > 0:38:5155. 60. 65.
0:38:52 > 0:38:5470. Yours at £70.
0:38:54 > 0:38:5675.
0:38:56 > 0:38:5880. Yours at £80.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01- Anybody else at £80? - Come on!
0:39:01 > 0:39:04All done at £80? Will you, any more? No?
0:39:05 > 0:39:09- Minus £45.- That's not too bad. - It could have been so much worse.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13Well done. Feeling better now, aren't you? OK.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15Lot number 43, caddy spoon.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19Lovely quality. Lovely gauge. I'm straight in at £15.
0:39:19 > 0:39:2115?
0:39:21 > 0:39:23At £15. 18. 20.
0:39:23 > 0:39:2522. 25. At 28.
0:39:25 > 0:39:29- Yours at 28. - Ooh, it's worth more than that.
0:39:29 > 0:39:3232, it's jumped on the internet. 35, sir. Thank you.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34At 35 at the back. £35 at the back.
0:39:34 > 0:39:3838. At £38 here. Are you bidding?
0:39:38 > 0:39:42- £40, I'll take. Yours at the back. - No money.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45At £40. 42. No? £42.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48- You've wiped your face. - £42 on the internet.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50And selling at £42. All done...?
0:39:51 > 0:39:54- Ah, that's all right. - Wiped its face. Still minus 45.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57Now, let's go with the Jag.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00Lot 85. My second Jaguar today. LAUGHTER
0:40:00 > 0:40:03Slightly smaller. In its original box.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06Who'll start me at £10? At £10 for it, will you?
0:40:06 > 0:40:08At ten. At £10 we'll start it.
0:40:08 > 0:40:13At £5? Got you straight in at five, sir. Will you bid six, sir? Six.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15- Six? - Seven. Eight.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17Nine, thank you. Ten. 12.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20At £12. Seated at 12. In front of me at 12.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23- Selling at 12. - £12?!
0:40:23 > 0:40:26Are you all done at £12...?
0:40:26 > 0:40:29- That's minus 28!- It's criminal!
0:40:29 > 0:40:3145. 65.
0:40:31 > 0:40:3565. Minus 73 smacks.
0:40:35 > 0:40:40- What are we going to do about the Bonus Buy?- Yeah. - Definitely going with it.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42- You're going with it?- Definitely. - Very good.
0:40:42 > 0:40:48- Now that you've decided to do that, I can tell you that the auctioneer's estimate is £20 to £30.- OK!
0:40:48 > 0:40:52- This is exciting. - Lot number 88. Two items of glass.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56Carnival glass dish. Calling Mr Headfield.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58Going in at £10 on commission.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01- It's a start. - Anybody else? At ten.
0:41:01 > 0:41:0412. 15. At £18. I'm now out. Yours at £18, sir.
0:41:04 > 0:41:08In front at £18. Against you all at £18...
0:41:08 > 0:41:10I don't like the look of this, Clairy.
0:41:10 > 0:41:14- Oh!- £18 is two off 20, which was already minus 27.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17- That is minus £29.- Oh, dear.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19CLAIRE LAUGHS
0:41:19 > 0:41:23Overall, that is minus £102 down the old proverbial.
0:41:23 > 0:41:28- Don't say a word to the reds. - We won't. We WON'T! - All will be revealed in a moment.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37- Well, teams, hasn't this been fun? - Great fun.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39- Been chatting about the scores?- No. - Not at all?
0:41:39 > 0:41:45It's a ceaseless source of wonder to me how two teams shopping in the same place
0:41:45 > 0:41:50can finish up in such different places when it comes to the score.
0:41:50 > 0:41:54I mean, nobody's going home with profit today. That is a fact.
0:41:54 > 0:42:00But the gap between the two teams is nigh on £100 of losses.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04Which is amazing. And the team that's managed to make over £100 of losses... Ha!
0:42:04 > 0:42:07- ..are the blues. - MARK LAUGHS
0:42:07 > 0:42:10- It's not a pretty scoring process. - No. It's a bad day.
0:42:10 > 0:42:15Exactly! We've loved having you on the show. I'm really sorry it hasn't worked out better.
0:42:15 > 0:42:19Another day, another place, it could have been completely the other way.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22- Yes.- You've been great fun. Thank you, Claire.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26Meanwhile, the victors, who've managed to win by only losing £9...
0:42:26 > 0:42:29- LAUGHTER - ..are the lovely reds.
0:42:29 > 0:42:33- You did get a very nice profit out of your piece of Bakelite.- Yes.
0:42:33 > 0:42:38Which was the only profit generated anywhere today, so you should be well proud.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41- Have you had a nice time?- We have. Yes.- Thank you for joining us.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44- Been all right for you, Kate? - Yeah. Great.- Thank you, Paul.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48We've had such fun. Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?
0:42:48 > 0:42:50YES!
0:42:52 > 0:42:55I know you're sat there thinking,
0:42:55 > 0:42:57"I could have done better than that!"
0:42:57 > 0:42:59Well, what's stopping you?
0:42:59 > 0:43:03If you think you can spot a bargain, go to our BBC website and apply.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06It'll be splendid to see you!
