0:00:03 > 0:00:06Today, we're in the Royal County of Berkshire.
0:00:06 > 0:00:11Here in Hungerford, we're positively surrounded by regal reminders!
0:00:14 > 0:00:16Ha! Let's go bargain hunting! Yeah.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Hungerford has hosted many a monarch.
0:00:43 > 0:00:48Elizabeth I, Charles I, James I have all stayed here.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51And William of Orange was once offered
0:00:51 > 0:00:58the thrones of England, Scotland and Ireland in one of Hungerford's pubs!
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Ha! But what about today?
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Will the reds reign supreme?
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Will the blues become King and Queen?
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Here's a quick squint at some right royal antics!
0:01:11 > 0:01:14'It's a military operation on today's show.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16'The reds fall for a sailor - as you do!'
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- I'd rather go with the sailor! - Would you really?
0:01:19 > 0:01:21'The blues go mad about medals.'
0:01:21 > 0:01:26I bet he was well pleased to go from one theatre to the next(!)
0:01:26 > 0:01:28'Let's meet the teams.'
0:01:28 > 0:01:34So, on today's programme for the reds, we have good friends Marion and Kate.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38For the blues, we have daughter and father combo, Grace and Glen.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40- Hello, everyone. - (ALL) Hello.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Now, Marion, how did you two become friends?
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Well, I met Kate when we were on an art trail.
0:01:46 > 0:01:52I was going on an art trail with my friend and there was Kate with all her beautiful paintings.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- You spotted one of her paintings. - Yes, I did.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- What was that of?- A naked man. - Was it?- Yes.
0:01:58 > 0:02:03- You liked it, did you? - I did. I bought it for myself, my 60th birthday.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06I thought, if I can't buy a naked man at 60, when can I?
0:02:06 > 0:02:09That's a bad job, isn't it? And you do a bit of knitting?
0:02:09 > 0:02:13- I do, Tim.- Tell us about that. - We do yarn-bombing, Tim.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- You do WHAT?- Yarn bombing. - Whatever's yarn bombing?
0:02:16 > 0:02:20It's wrapping the world in woolly wonderness, Tim. We...
0:02:20 > 0:02:24LAUGHS We find areas of urban,
0:02:24 > 0:02:28that aren't very nice, and we knit things to cover them up.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32- I thought what I would do...- Yes? - ..I'd yarn-bomb you.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- I've never yarn-bombed a person before.- Have you not?
0:02:35 > 0:02:38I've yarn-bombed you and made that for you.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40- You never have?- I did.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44- Well, I'll stick it in there now. - There you go.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Let's just bung it in. Thank you very much. I'll wear it with pride.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52- Now, Kate, you work part time in a jewellery shop.- Yes.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54- You're also an artist.- Yes. - We heard about that!
0:02:54 > 0:02:59- There are some abstract scenes? - Yes. Abstract landscapes, mainly.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Mainly, it's to do with travelling through the landscape.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- You don't look at the landscape hoping you can wrap it in wool?- No.
0:03:05 > 0:03:10Wool is just another medium. It's just changing the way I look at things again.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13How do you think you are going to work together?
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- Brilliantly. - We're probably going to fight.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- You're going to fight?- Oh, yeah. Knitting makes you aggressive.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23Well, you keep your needles to yourselves today, girls.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26We can't stand the cost of any industrial injuries.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30Now, Grace, Glen, are you quaking in your boots?
0:03:30 > 0:03:34- A little bit now!- Have you ever done any knitting, Glen?- Er... No.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37- I don't think so. - Could be your day today.
0:03:37 > 0:03:42Now, Gracie, you are studying for a degree in dental therapy.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45I am, yeah, over in Cardiff University.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49- Don't ask how I got into it, it's a bit weird.- How did you get into it?
0:03:49 > 0:03:52When I was younger, I really liked going to the dentist.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- I quite liked the smell of it and I liked the stickers.- Oh...
0:03:55 > 0:03:58And also, I like all the gory things!
0:03:58 > 0:04:02So, extractions and all the blood, it's great.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04- Is it?- Yeah. Brilliant.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Any other interests?
0:04:06 > 0:04:12- Me and my mum used to be part of several amateur dramatic societies in the local area.- Yeah.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16We decided they weren't putting on the shows we wanted to do
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- and they weren't giving us the main parts, which is a bit of an issue.- Yeah.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22- So you went independent?- We did, indeed. Set up our own group.
0:04:22 > 0:04:28- Grabbed all the good parts for yourselves.- Exactly, and gave the rest to people we liked.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32- So it's worked out well.- It sounds like fun. Good luck with that.
0:04:32 > 0:04:37Now, Glen, it says here you're not a great fan of musicals but you're very fond of the bottle.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39I DO like my wine. Yeah.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43I sort of started drinking and... Heavily!
0:04:43 > 0:04:48..and going to classes in the '80s, when it wasn't fashionable for young people to drink wine.
0:04:48 > 0:04:53When you get a bit of an education and you learn how to taste them, you begin to develop a palate.
0:04:53 > 0:04:58- You used to work as a gardener for Margaret Thatcher in 10 Downing Street?- Well, yeah.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02It was a bit frustrating. Whenever you did any work, like mowing,
0:05:02 > 0:05:05then the window would come up and someone would shout out,
0:05:05 > 0:05:09there was a meeting going on and you had to keep the noise down.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12So you'd sort of walk with the mower and make a mower noise, quietly.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16- LAUGHS - Now, what's your tactic today?
0:05:16 > 0:05:19We're hoping to spend as much money as we possibly can
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- so we don't upset you and face your rant.- How nice!
0:05:22 > 0:05:27No, it doesn't upset me. Honestly. I just think, "You've got the 300. Spend it!"
0:05:27 > 0:05:32- We're really going to try our best. - Lovely. That is the correct ambition.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36So, speaking of money, here comes the £300. There's your 300.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39You know the rules, your experts await, and off you go!
0:05:39 > 0:05:41And very, very, very good luck.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46'They're in for a treat today!
0:05:46 > 0:05:50'Giving the reds their marching orders, we salute you:
0:05:50 > 0:05:52'And lighting the way for the blues, it's the sparky:'
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Marion, Kate, how excited are you?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- So excited.- Very.- Really?- Yeah.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06So is there a plan and a strategy?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- Just want to buy things! - Nice things.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Right, a father and daughter team. What are you looking for?
0:06:12 > 0:06:17- Something a bit different, that we haven't seen on Bargain Hunt before. - Oh, ho, ho, ho!
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- You want to spend all the money? - Everything!- Every single bit?
0:06:21 > 0:06:23But we need to make sure we get the right prices.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Come in here.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- You lead the way. Let's get these bargains bought.- OK.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32'I like the sound of that, Colin, because you've only got 60 minutes.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35'And the blues are off to a flying start.'
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Just had a look at that vintage aircraft. Well, vintage!
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Big fellow, isn't it?
0:06:40 > 0:06:44In the spirit of that trench art Spitfire pilots used to make,
0:06:44 > 0:06:46little brooches out of brass.
0:06:46 > 0:06:511930s-design plane, by the looks of it, that sort of era.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- Do you think it would appeal to collectors?- I think it would.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- It's very much a novelty item. - Or Spitfire pilots.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00'Let's get the arcade assistant, Alex, to open the cabinet.'
0:07:00 > 0:07:05- The aeroplane, what age do you think that is?- Second World War.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Aviation was the big thing, Battle of Britain and all that.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12There were lots of people with time between missions
0:07:12 > 0:07:15that made these things.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18It's a way of whiling away your time, wasn't it?
0:07:18 > 0:07:22There was lots of brass and metal around and people did these things.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27It's quite crude, the sort of thing you'd love to pick up for 15 quid.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30But at 50 quid, it seems a LOT of money.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- Do you know if they'd take £20? - I'll give her a call. >
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- See what I can do for you. - Thanks a lot.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40'Let's hope Alex can bring the price down to Earth, blues.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43'Meanwhile, have the reds gone tribal on us?'
0:07:43 > 0:07:47- That's nice. That's a bit unusual. - That carving?- Yeah. I love her.
0:07:47 > 0:07:52- She's beautiful.- You do?- I do. - Hm.- A bit like me every morning.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Would you like to know how much money is on that?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57- Yeah.- It's going to be a lot.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01You're now the valuers. What would you bid for something like that?
0:08:01 > 0:08:04I would go about 50 quid, but I don't know.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08I'd go for 150. I think she's gorgeous!
0:08:08 > 0:08:13- Really?- Yeah.- So if I told you that I've seen a sign in the cabinet
0:08:13 > 0:08:15- that says everything in there... - LAUGHTER
0:08:15 > 0:08:17£5.50.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19- Ah!- Bargain!
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- Bargain! And we didn't even see it. - No.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26If you can get it for a fiver, I would say it ticks all the boxes.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29You both smiled when you saw it. You both fell in love with it.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31You both think it's of high value.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34'Let's see what arcade assistant Rita has to say.'
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Hello, hello.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40Now, there's something in here that's obviously priced at £5.50.
0:08:40 > 0:08:46I've got my two valuers with me and they're also our chief negotiators.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48So it's up to you, girls.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52I wondered whether £5.50 was your best offer on the little primal lady,
0:08:52 > 0:08:54or whether you could do it for four?
0:08:54 > 0:08:58- I could do it for five.- Five? - Yes.- Shall we do it for five?
0:08:58 > 0:09:02- Well, I'm happy with that. - That'd be lovely. Thank you.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06'Well done, reds. One bargain under your belt in less than nine minutes,
0:09:06 > 0:09:08'and Colin's got a happy team.'
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- Thanks for that.- That's no problem. The pleasure was all yours!
0:09:11 > 0:09:13LAUGHTER
0:09:13 > 0:09:17'The blues will have to wait for news on their World War II plane.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19'Meanwhile, they've dug up two sets of medals.'
0:09:19 > 0:09:23We've got a set of World War medals, including Africa Star.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25- Good nick.- They're not bad at all.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27'The Africa Star was awarded
0:09:27 > 0:09:31'to those who fought in campaigns in north and east Africa, but hang on,
0:09:31 > 0:09:34'one of these bars includes an Italy star as well.'
0:09:34 > 0:09:36He was a busy boy, wasn't he?
0:09:36 > 0:09:40I bet he was well pleased to go from one theatre to the next(!)
0:09:40 > 0:09:44JAMES LAUGHS I bet he thought he was going home after Africa.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46'Glen's in his element here.'
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Are you quite keen on military history?
0:09:49 > 0:09:53I just sort of know... It's being brought up at that sort of time.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57It was only 15 years after the end of the Second World War.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01- Children, there must have been lots of relics of the war as well.- Yeah.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05Where I lived in the East End of London,
0:10:05 > 0:10:09where my grandparents lived, near the docks, there were bomb sites,
0:10:09 > 0:10:13houses that had just been obliterated, even in the 1970s.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15'Gosh, Glen's gone all nostalgic.'
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- Out of the two, that would be the better one.- Yes.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22'Good choice, James. He's gone for both the Africa and Italy Stars.'
0:10:22 > 0:10:27- I'd be looking to sort of... I mean, no more than 60, really.- Yeah.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29For those.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- Shall we make a bid for those?- Yeah.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34'A-herm! Haven't you forgotten somebody, boys?'
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Grace, how are you doing?
0:10:36 > 0:10:40I'm trying to find something prettier than your boys' war stuff.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42It's not going well at the moment.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45We looked at a brass aircraft and campaign medals.
0:10:45 > 0:10:52- I'm being left out here.- We need a feminine touch.- I need something bright pink and covered in jewels!
0:10:52 > 0:10:57'You might want something pink, but you also need to buy three items.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00'The reds are already ahead and something shiny's caught their eye.'
0:11:00 > 0:11:05- Do you like that?- I do like that. I think it's a really good thing.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08What's going on inside is the real question.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- There's two locks on the cabinet. - Good sign.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Thank you. So, how do we get in?
0:11:14 > 0:11:17A button on the front. Let's hope that springs a surprise.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- Ah.- There's nothing in it!- Oh.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25- I thought there might be a nice... - Does that pull out?- Right.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Any idea what's going on here?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29'You're such a tease, Colin!'
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Very small bookshelf!
0:11:31 > 0:11:33A very small bookshelf, indeed!
0:11:33 > 0:11:37You would have in this side coals. You've got heat coming out of here.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41You would lay across the top - curling tongs.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43- So your handle on the not-heated side.- Oh!
0:11:43 > 0:11:48Then you would do your curling and whatever else you need to do.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50It is sort of incomplete,
0:11:50 > 0:11:54- because you need a bit more kit on this side.- Yeah.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Is that unusual or something you come across quite often?
0:11:57 > 0:12:01You don't see them very often, so it is an unusual item.
0:12:01 > 0:12:06- Now, at £150, it's a long, long way from where we need to be.- Yeah.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Um... If there is any flex on it,
0:12:09 > 0:12:13we would need to be down the £80, £90 mark.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Rita, would you be able to assist us on this?
0:12:16 > 0:12:20Now, it's got a bit of a hefty price tag on it.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23It's marked at 150. Is there anything that can be done?
0:12:23 > 0:12:25He would do that for 85.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26Right.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29- Could we think about it? - You can definitely think about it.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Would you be able to pop that to one side for us?
0:12:32 > 0:12:35- Of course. - We've got a bit of time left.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40- We'd like to revisit it if we could. - Of course. I'll put it by.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44Thank you very much for your help. That's got the cogs turning!
0:12:44 > 0:12:48- Yes.- It has, yes.
0:12:48 > 0:12:54- Find another item.- Did you say the cogs curling?- I might have done!
0:12:54 > 0:12:56'Well, we nearly got a second bargain,
0:12:56 > 0:12:59'but the blues have yet to buy their first one - and guess what?
0:12:59 > 0:13:03'The boys have spotted a third set of World War II medals.'
0:13:03 > 0:13:07These are in good condition. We've got another set of medals.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11Exactly the same set, but slightly tattier, the ribbons, at £48.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14'Yet another set with an Africa and an Italy Star.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17'Glen has spotted a crucial difference.'
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- Is that a rose? - It does look like a Tudor rose.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Doesn't it?
0:13:22 > 0:13:26The oak leaf was "mentioned in dispatches" for the First World War.
0:13:26 > 0:13:31What they denoted for the Second World War was the rose.
0:13:31 > 0:13:36It may have been for one of the big battles - El Alamein, Tobruk.
0:13:36 > 0:13:42'So the rose means the owner of these medals was mentioned in dispatches,
0:13:42 > 0:13:44'a special honour for an act of bravery.'
0:13:44 > 0:13:49- If we knew who owned these - medals are all about the person.- Yeah.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53- They can be traced back.- It'd be worth three times the amount.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55- Can we make up a name? - JAMES LAUGHS
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Little Charlie Brooks?
0:13:58 > 0:14:02It'll be somebody who was mentioned in dispatches during the African campaigns,
0:14:02 > 0:14:04but there were quite a few!
0:14:04 > 0:14:09'You can't make up a name but you can try to get a good price. Alex is your man.'
0:14:09 > 0:14:12What we'd like to do is 35 on the group there.
0:14:12 > 0:14:17- If we say 30, then the person on the other end can say 35.- Great.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Yeah, I think 50's our max on this.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23So, 30 and 50.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26- Yeah. OK. - Thanking you.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29'Let's hope that deal comes off, blues.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32'£50 for the set of medals with the dispatches rose
0:14:32 > 0:14:34'and £30 for the set without.
0:14:34 > 0:14:39'While they wait for that and a price for the brass plane, what's happened to the reds?
0:14:39 > 0:14:42'They're still chasing that elusive second item.'
0:14:43 > 0:14:47This looks like it could be in our league.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51- It's got a chip there.- It's got a chip, a bit of a chip there.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54And it's got a bit of a break there.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57But if you take all of that into consideration,
0:14:57 > 0:15:00if you could buy something like that for maybe £30, £40,
0:15:00 > 0:15:03you've still got profit in that.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07- What sort of money are they looking for?- Er... 55.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Yeah, just a bit keen.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12'They're not looking bowled-over, Colin.'
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- I don't like that. - It's too chipped for me.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18- Too chipped for you. OK. Fine. - I'm sorry.- No.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21I can only guide you towards these things.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23I'd rather have the silver.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25- Fine.- The silver...?
0:15:25 > 0:15:28- Silver thing. - Oh, yeah. I want that, anyway.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32- I want that, anyway. The one down there?- You do want that?- Yeah.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34That's on my list in my head.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38'So, that's a no to the bowl, but a yes to the silver curling tongs box.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41'A decision at last, but will the price be right?'
0:15:41 > 0:15:45- We want to go for the silver. - What was your best price?
0:15:45 > 0:15:47- 85. - 85? - 85.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50- OK. - Can you batter her down five?
0:15:50 > 0:15:52- Could we make it 80? - Go on, then.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55- Oooh! - Thank you for that!
0:15:55 > 0:15:58'£80 it is. Well done, reds.
0:15:58 > 0:16:03'The blues get news on their World War II medals and the brass plane.'
0:16:03 > 0:16:06The plane, I can't do any less than 40 on the plane.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- OK. What do you think? - Not really.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11- No.- No.- OK, forget the plane.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15- The set of medals with the rose, I haven't heard back about.- OK.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19The second set that you wanted for 30, we can do for 30.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22- Well, I reckon... - Shall we secure those?
0:16:22 > 0:16:23I think we should. >
0:16:23 > 0:16:27Let's go over the road and see if we can find another two items.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31If you can keep trying for us on that "mentioned in dispatches".
0:16:31 > 0:16:32Good. Thanks a lot.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38'Decision made. First item bought, and about time, too.'
0:16:40 > 0:16:42That'd be the ideal plate for me!
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Wine-tasting ceremony, master of wine.
0:16:49 > 0:16:54'There's just 20 minutes left on the clock, teams.'
0:16:54 > 0:16:56That is uber-trendy!
0:16:56 > 0:16:59That is real Miami 1950s.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Or Las Vegas '50s.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05- More Miami Vice! - Look at the shape of it!
0:17:05 > 0:17:10Then you've got these Venetian... this fabulous Venetian column.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14- That's a beautiful object.- What do you think they're asking for it?
0:17:14 > 0:17:18- I would say 150. What have they got?- £69.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20£69. I think that's a lovely item.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- Do you like that? - I think it's quite cool.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26What do we have to get that down to to make a profit?
0:17:26 > 0:17:28I think it's got a real chic-ness about it.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31If we could get that for 40, that would be fabulous.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34It's an unusual item, but I don't want to lead you, Grace.
0:17:34 > 0:17:39No, I like it. It's a little bit more girlie than the war stuff.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43'Good. I see new light in Grace's eyes.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49'15 minutes left and the reds are making a dash back to the arcade.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52'The blues are decoyed by a duck.'
0:17:52 > 0:17:55- What's it? - Decoys are a big thing in America.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59Has that bit been fixed or just a mark in the wood?
0:17:59 > 0:18:01- It's been bashed, I think, hasn't it?- Mm.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- Oh, and again! - LAUGHS
0:18:04 > 0:18:08- You can see how it happens. - Careful, they might BILL us.- Hey!
0:18:08 > 0:18:10'I make the jokes round here.'
0:18:10 > 0:18:14It's not a bad price, 23 quid for something that's hand-crafted.
0:18:14 > 0:18:19Yeah, right. Let's keep looking round. Time is not on our side.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23'You said it, James, and you still have two items to buy.
0:18:23 > 0:18:29'The reds have one eye on the clock and the other on a handsome sailor.'
0:18:29 > 0:18:33# All the nice girls love a sailor... #
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Ooh, he's lovely!
0:18:35 > 0:18:39'Does she mean the sailor or the Art Deco clock with photo frame?'
0:18:39 > 0:18:42- How much?- It's £58.- I quite like it. You like it?
0:18:42 > 0:18:45- My dad was in the navy. - We're running out of time.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- I wouldn't say I LOVE it. - But in cases of desperation...- Yes.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52- And we've only got three minutes. - Not a lot of money spent, is it?
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- Well, it's not, but... - I'd rather go with the sailor.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- LAUGHING:- What do you think to the Art Deco clock?
0:18:58 > 0:19:01It's OK. I'd rather go with a sailor, any day.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04ALL LAUGH
0:19:04 > 0:19:06'You can't have one without the other, Marion.'
0:19:06 > 0:19:10- Let's get one of the people in to give us some guidance.- Yes.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13'While the reds wait for Rita,
0:19:13 > 0:19:17'the blues need to haggle over the decoy duck and glass standard lamp.'
0:19:17 > 0:19:20She'll come down a little bit on the duck.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23She'll come down a bit more than I thought on the lamp.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27- What's on the lamp? - 55 from 69.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31- 55.- From 69.- To 55. Yup.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34And the decoy duck they'll do for 20.
0:19:34 > 0:19:3620. OK.
0:19:36 > 0:19:41I'll go and see "mentioned in dispatches" and we'll make a decision!
0:19:41 > 0:19:43- Right.- A winning one, please.
0:19:43 > 0:19:44- LAUGHING:- Always.
0:19:44 > 0:19:49'While James gets a price on the medals with the dispatches rose,
0:19:49 > 0:19:53'the reds are closing a deal on the Art Deco clock and picture frame.'
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Hello. The very, very best is £50.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Ooh, that's painful, isn't it?
0:19:58 > 0:20:02- She won't go £1 lower. - Are we going to have it at £50?
0:20:02 > 0:20:05- We're going to have to. - MARION: Can I keep the photograph?
0:20:05 > 0:20:08- MARION LAUGHS - Oh, no.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12'That was close! Just 30 seconds to go, but they've done it!
0:20:12 > 0:20:14'Congratulations, reds.
0:20:15 > 0:20:20'And back from the front line, it's James with a price on the second set of medals.'
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Good news, bad news.
0:20:22 > 0:20:29- So..."mentioned in dispatches", a similar campaign group that we've already bought...- Yeah.
0:20:29 > 0:20:34The best they can do, it was priced at 85, best they can do is 70.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37It makes a big difference having that "mentioned in dispatches".
0:20:37 > 0:20:41Makes it more special. Regrettably, we can't pin it to a person.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44So, that's it. We've got three options.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48We've got to buy two more items. We've got three options.
0:20:48 > 0:20:53- We've got campaign medals, duck... - And the lamp stand.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55- What one would you drop? - Probably the duck.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58I'm dropping the duck - like you did, earlier!
0:20:58 > 0:21:02Exactly! Funnily enough, I'm dropping the duck.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06- So we've decided?- Yes.- Good. I think that's a great decision.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Three items bought, three nice items.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11We've got a glamorous item for Grace.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Campaign medals for you. Campaign medals for me.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Well done. Come on, let's go.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22CLOCK STRIKES
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Time's up. Let's check out what the red team bought, eh?
0:21:26 > 0:21:30'The reds paid just £5 for this carved wooden figure.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36'Then they splashed out £80 on this silver curling tongs box.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42'And finally, for £50, they chose this Art Deco clock and frame,
0:21:42 > 0:21:45'as the last few seconds ticked away.'
0:21:45 > 0:21:49- That was quite exciting. - That was very exciting.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51- Incredibly exciting! Well done, girls.- Thank you.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Which is your favourite piece, Kate?
0:21:53 > 0:21:56I like the little silver item that we've got.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00- What about you, Marion?- I like the sailor.- Do you? You would!
0:22:00 > 0:22:03ALL LAUGH
0:22:03 > 0:22:08- Is sailor going to bring the biggest profit?- No.- No. What is?
0:22:08 > 0:22:12- The statuette thing.- Do you agree, Kate?- I hope so. She was a bargain.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- What did you spend all-round? - We spent 135.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19Good. 135. 165 leftover lolly, please.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Thank you. 165. Quick as you like, straight over to Colin Young,
0:22:22 > 0:22:26- the past master of the art of finding a good bonus buy.- Well...!
0:22:26 > 0:22:30Well! I just hope history repeats itself -
0:22:30 > 0:22:34the ones that make profits, rather than the ones that make losses!
0:22:34 > 0:22:38Good luck with that. Meanwhile, we're going to check out what the blue team bought.
0:22:40 > 0:22:45'The blues started with this group of World War II medals.
0:22:46 > 0:22:52'This 1950s standard lamp with a spiral glass stem set them back:
0:22:54 > 0:22:57'Putting all their eggs in one basket,
0:22:57 > 0:23:00'they grabbed a second group of World War II medals,
0:23:00 > 0:23:03'but with a dispatches rose.'
0:23:03 > 0:23:06- Well, team, was that good? - Yeah. Brilliant.- Very good.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Which is your favourite piece?
0:23:08 > 0:23:12I am going to go against what people would think
0:23:12 > 0:23:16and say I really like the medals - the posher, more expensive ones.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20- That's your favourite piece? That IS unusual.- I really like them.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24- What about you, Dad?- I think the same one, "mentioned in dispatches".
0:23:24 > 0:23:28- And which is going to bring the biggest profit?- I think that again.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Or maybe the other set of medals.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33How much did you spend all-round?
0:23:33 > 0:23:37- 155.- That's a good amount.- Not bad. - £145 of leftover lolly, please.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42That's very "graceful" of you. Thank you, 145.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44James Braxton, your challenge.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47What are you going to do with that, James?
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Find something that's going to get us an even bigger profit.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54Well, that is a fine ambition to have harboured in your bosom.
0:23:54 > 0:23:59Meanwhile, we're heading off to look at something that I spotted earlier
0:23:59 > 0:24:02that you could term a proper box of delights.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12As they say, you should never tell a book by its cover.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16The same thing can apply sometimes with little bits of furniture.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20On the face of it, this is a pretty standard form.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22It's made of rosewood
0:24:22 > 0:24:26and it's got some modest little brass inlaid lines
0:24:26 > 0:24:30and a rather beautiful flush-fitted handle in the top.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34That's the first indication that this box is a bit special
0:24:34 > 0:24:36and a bit unusual.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38We open it up, though,
0:24:38 > 0:24:43you can see that it doesn't contain the standard tea caddy
0:24:43 > 0:24:46with two divisions and a mixing bowl.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Nor is it a standard dressing case.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53It's got this feature which I've never seen in a fitted box before,
0:24:53 > 0:24:56which is a rising tray,
0:24:56 > 0:24:59sadly missing a few compartments,
0:24:59 > 0:25:04but still with this lid that originally was fitted about here.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08And underneath that is the writing compartment,
0:25:08 > 0:25:10a couple of inkwells and a pen tray.
0:25:10 > 0:25:15And behind that, we've got some velvet plush covered blocks,
0:25:15 > 0:25:19and then some more compartments for other fittings.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22The back panel has got a travelling mirror in it.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26If I undo the two flaps like that,
0:25:26 > 0:25:29it reveals its greatest secret.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Which is...
0:25:32 > 0:25:35..ha! A trade label.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Look at that. It says...
0:25:50 > 0:25:54..And I guess, without researching Mr Starkey's dates,
0:25:54 > 0:25:59it probably dates from between 1820 and 1840.
0:25:59 > 0:26:05Now, to find an extremely rare American travelling box like this
0:26:05 > 0:26:09in an arcade in Hungerford is a thrill.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13I spend hours poking around these places
0:26:13 > 0:26:18hoping, just occasionally, to have a eureka moment like this.
0:26:18 > 0:26:23Now, rosewood travelling boxes in Britain are not rare things to find.
0:26:23 > 0:26:28In fact, if you found one of this quality and it was fully fitted
0:26:28 > 0:26:30and nicely presented,
0:26:30 > 0:26:35I suppose it might be worth as much as £400.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37But if it's American,
0:26:37 > 0:26:41and if it was sold in America,
0:26:41 > 0:26:45nicely presented with these few minor repairs and so forth,
0:26:45 > 0:26:51it would be likely to bring the top end of 2,500!
0:26:51 > 0:26:56And that, to you or me, is as close as a whisker to £1,800.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Why is this a eureka moment?
0:26:59 > 0:27:03Because, up the road in the arcade,
0:27:03 > 0:27:08you could have bought this thing for... Wait for it.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10..£40.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13£40? £1,800?
0:27:13 > 0:27:16That is what you call a bargain.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19But sitting here in this shop,
0:27:19 > 0:27:25one has to glance at the wall to see the power of American collectables.
0:27:25 > 0:27:30Because this is a Union Flag from the Civil War period.
0:27:30 > 0:27:37Now, the Civil War took place between about 1861 and 1865.
0:27:37 > 0:27:43This thing can be dated to around 1863 because of the number of stars.
0:27:43 > 0:27:50There are 34 stars, and that dates it to before 1863.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54So, it's a special historic American object.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56And its price?
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Well, it could be yours for 8,000.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02God bless America.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09'But the big question is, will our teams earn their stars and stripes
0:28:09 > 0:28:12'at the auction?'
0:28:14 > 0:28:18What a treat this is! We've trotted to Lawrences in Crewkerne
0:28:18 > 0:28:21to be with Richard Kay, my old mate, how are ya?
0:28:21 > 0:28:23- Hello, Tim. Welcome back. - Lovely to see you.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Now, I want you to think fertility.
0:28:25 > 0:28:30I want you to think fine African ethnographic object
0:28:30 > 0:28:32and then look at this.
0:28:32 > 0:28:37It's not tribal and would never have been used for any rite or ritual,
0:28:37 > 0:28:39which is the implication of tribal art.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43It's been made for the airport market, not even very well made.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45- Well, that's got that out. - Sorry to say.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48It cost a £5 note and frankly should have stayed where it was.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52- If we get a fiver for it, I'll be pleasantly surprised.- Yes.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55- I don't think it has any intrinsic value.- OK. That's it.
0:28:55 > 0:29:00- Now, the silver-cased iron box. - Yes.- For whizzing up your hair-do.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02Well, incomplete, sadly.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04It would have had tongs in it
0:29:04 > 0:29:08and a little methylated spirits burner to warm the tongs up.
0:29:08 > 0:29:12I think that it is amazing that ladies in 1902 or whatever
0:29:12 > 0:29:17travelled with all these inflammables about their person,
0:29:17 > 0:29:20so that at night they could rig up a silver-cased box
0:29:20 > 0:29:23to heat up rods to curl their hair.
0:29:23 > 0:29:27There's an awful lot of craftsmanship gone into that.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31- Sadly, it's incomplete.- So that makes it not terribly commercial.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34I think it's £10 or £20.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37That's positively scorching - £80 they paid.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40- Ooh! That, er...- Feeling singed? - I am.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44- That straightens my hair. - Or makes mine curl.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47What about this Art Deco Algerian onyx and marble
0:29:47 > 0:29:53- combo timepiece-postcard holder? - It's very much of its period.
0:29:53 > 0:29:57- And with that photograph of this unknown sailor...- Jack Tar!
0:29:57 > 0:30:02..you know, it shrieks 1930s, 1940s.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05This is the war-time period, definitely.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07- 30 to 40, I'd have thought. - £50 paid.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11They're going to need their bonus buy, so let's have a look at it.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14- Now, Maid Marion...- Hello.- Kate.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18You spent £135. You gave Colin 165. I'll help you here, Colin.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21Whip that rag off. Yes!
0:30:21 > 0:30:23- Ooh! - Do we like, ladies?
0:30:23 > 0:30:27- Yes.- Interested.- Interested.- Yeah. - But not necessarily like.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30- A lot of polishing involved. - Tell us more.- Yes.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33A really good-looking piece. It sits very well.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36Once it's on the floor beside a fireplace,
0:30:36 > 0:30:39you can imagine it in its right environment.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42- Mm-hm.- Very nice. Would it have logs and things?
0:30:42 > 0:30:46Logs and things. You can have coal in there, a whole variety of things.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50It's a fleur de lys pattern that's embossed on there.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53Very Art Nouveau style with this concave side.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57Date-wise, you're probably looking about 1910,
0:30:57 > 0:30:59I would hazard a guess, just post-1900.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03- So, bottom line...- How much? - Bottom line is how much?
0:31:03 > 0:31:06- Well, OK, £70 paid. - Oh!- Yeah.
0:31:06 > 0:31:11It was a good purchase, in my opinion, and I will put my reputation on the line.
0:31:11 > 0:31:15- Oooh!- But that's only because I haven't got one!
0:31:15 > 0:31:17ALL LAUGH
0:31:17 > 0:31:20That's the information. You've got your prediction.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22- Might make a small profit.- Yeah.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25Meanwhile, for the audience at home, let's find out
0:31:25 > 0:31:30what the auctioneer thinks about Colin's purdonium - coal bucket to you and me.
0:31:31 > 0:31:36Very good, Richard. That's an object to warm the cockles of your heart.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39And I think it would do exactly what it's meant to do,
0:31:39 > 0:31:43which is hold a good quantity of coal in a stylish way.
0:31:43 > 0:31:48- How much do you think it's going to bring?- I think it's good enough to be worth £50 to £70.
0:31:48 > 0:31:52- OK, £70 was paid, so that's perfectly reasonable.- That's good.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54That's it for the poor old reds.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57Now we move on to the first lot of medals.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00They've put a lot of eggs into one basket here.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03It's a shame that there isn't more information about them.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06People buy medals not for the metalware,
0:32:06 > 0:32:11but for the history, the recipient and the valour that went with it.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15- OK. What's your estimate? - Well, £25 to £40.- OK.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19- Well, they paid £30.- That's fair enough.- We may get a surprise.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Their second item is going to be the standard lamp,
0:32:21 > 0:32:24which looks like a bit of 1950s to me.
0:32:24 > 0:32:28Yeah, '50s. The base is clearly '50s, yeah.
0:32:28 > 0:32:32With a rather inappropriate shade on it as well.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36- So it might be £20 or £30. - OK, fine. £55 paid.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39Their third item, the second group of medals,
0:32:39 > 0:32:42the only difference that I can spot
0:32:42 > 0:32:46is that it's got this dispatch rose business on one of the silks.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49It's got that additional feature. How much for that?
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Much the same sort of figure, to be honest.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55It might just be slightly more appealing to buy, so £30 or £40.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58Well, it was more appealing to buy cos our lot paid £70.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01I'm not sure the difference is justified
0:33:01 > 0:33:04by simply the presence of that little tiny rose on the ribbon.
0:33:04 > 0:33:09They're going to need their bonus buy big time. Let's go and have a look at it.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Well, team, this is exciting, isn't it?
0:33:12 > 0:33:15You gave James Braxton £145.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18What has the maestro spent the £145 on?
0:33:18 > 0:33:20- James, reveal all.- I'll reveal.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23Quite a goodly amount - £100.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26It's a sort of rudie-nudie lady here.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28It's a car mascot.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31- So, 1920s, '30s.- Cool!
0:33:31 > 0:33:34- Glamorous lady. - What do you think it's made of?
0:33:34 > 0:33:38- I think it's...- Bronze and chrome. - I think it's bronze and chrome.
0:33:38 > 0:33:43I think I'm right in saying you get mascots for certain marks of car,
0:33:43 > 0:33:45which immediately make them recognisable,
0:33:45 > 0:33:50but between the wars, that sort of mascot was made
0:33:50 > 0:33:53not for a particular type of car, just as an accessory.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56So you'd go to an accessory shop in 1930,
0:33:56 > 0:34:01simply buy a pretty girl and shove it on the front of any old car.
0:34:01 > 0:34:05So it becomes a sort of accessory mascot rather than a brand mascot.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09- I like it.- You do? - Yes. It's something a bit different.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13- We did see another car mascot, but it wasn't like that. Yeah.- Yeah.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16- Do you like it, Glen? - Yeah, I quite like that.
0:34:16 > 0:34:21Let's see whether the auctioneer is similarly taken by James's mascot.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25There we go, Richard.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Well, a car mascot, clearly.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29Quite a stylish figure.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33Sort of reinterpreting the idea of the Spirit of Ecstasy
0:34:33 > 0:34:37from the bonnets of numerous Rolls-Royces.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40Not, apparently, signed or named
0:34:40 > 0:34:44as being the work of anyone in particular,
0:34:44 > 0:34:46but quite a nice little piece.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49I think they're rather nice things, car mascots, don't you?
0:34:49 > 0:34:53- I do.- As a collectable. - Whether or not anyone who buys that
0:34:53 > 0:34:57would risk putting it on the bonnet of their car, I don't know.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59So how much do you think it's worth?
0:34:59 > 0:35:02I would have thought we would be expecting £40 to £60 for it.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05I think the person who buys it will be very pleased to have it.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09£100 was paid by James Braxton as his bonus buy.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12- I think your estimate's a bit of a tease.- Do you?
0:35:12 > 0:35:15I think we'll be surprised, that it'll bump along a bit.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18Let's hope, like this lady, it jumps to an impressive price.
0:35:18 > 0:35:19Thank you very much.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31Now, tell me, how are you feeling, Maid Marion?
0:35:31 > 0:35:35- I'm a bit worried about the sailor. - Why are you worried about him?
0:35:35 > 0:35:38I reckon the only way we'll make a profit
0:35:38 > 0:35:42is if we got somebody from Portsmouth and they recognised their dad!
0:35:42 > 0:35:45- Really?- Yeah.- They say that every sailor has a...- Yes.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49..friend in every port! There could be several children knocking around.
0:35:49 > 0:35:53There you go! One from Southampton!
0:35:53 > 0:35:56The silver tong heating box, I've been very rude about that.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59The tribal figure, I've been very, very rude about.
0:35:59 > 0:36:04- If all else fails, you've got the coal bin to fall back on, which you like.- Yes.
0:36:04 > 0:36:08- I do like that, yes.- You're just going to have to cross everything.
0:36:08 > 0:36:12The first item that comes up is your fertility figure. Here it comes.
0:36:12 > 0:36:17Lot 305 is a tribal art carved wooden fertility figure.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19£5 for it?
0:36:19 > 0:36:23£5 anywhere? £2 anywhere?
0:36:23 > 0:36:26£2 is bid. At two. Four now. Six. Eight.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28Ten. 12.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31I'm selling at 12. 15 now.
0:36:31 > 0:36:36£15 on my right. I'm selling at 15. At £15...
0:36:36 > 0:36:39- LAUGHS - Tripled the money!- That's good.
0:36:39 > 0:36:43- So you get your apology. - I'll pay, Tim.- Marvellous thing.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45Marvellous! Here it comes.
0:36:45 > 0:36:50Bids here start me at £40. £40. 45. 50.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53Five. At £55 now. At £55.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57I'm selling. It's in the room. Clears my book at 55.
0:36:57 > 0:36:58Last time at £55.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02That's five short of 60. That's minus 25.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05That means you are minus £15 currently, girls!
0:37:05 > 0:37:08Now, this is your big hope, the timepiece.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12..I start this at £25.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15£25 is bid. At £25.
0:37:15 > 0:37:20At 25, absentee bid. 30 now, and I'm out. I'll sell in the room.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22At 30 now. At 30, if you're all done.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25At £30, last time.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27£30 is minus £20.
0:37:27 > 0:37:31Minus 20, which is overall, minus 35.
0:37:31 > 0:37:36- So, now, the coal box.- Yes.- How do you fancy that?- In for a penny.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40- Are you going to do it?- Yes. Gamble. - Fine, we're going with the coal box.
0:37:40 > 0:37:46Lot 311 is an Arts & Crafts embossed coal box.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49Bids start me here at 30. 35. £40 is bid.
0:37:49 > 0:37:5345. 50. 55 and I'm out.
0:37:53 > 0:37:5660. 65. 70. Five.
0:37:56 > 0:38:00- Well done, Colin. - 80. Five. 90. >
0:38:00 > 0:38:03£90 to my left. I'm selling in the room at £90.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07Against you elsewhere. At 90, then, for the last time.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10CHEERING/LAUGHTER
0:38:10 > 0:38:12- Ooh, sorry.- Brilliant!
0:38:12 > 0:38:13So sorry.
0:38:13 > 0:38:17- Sorry.- It's all right. It's £20.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20- The man's very clever, isn't he? - Oh, come here!
0:38:20 > 0:38:22Pleasure. Pleasure.
0:38:22 > 0:38:28Plus £20. Which reduces the losses to only minus 15, which is bad luck.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Ooh! That's all right.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33- And minus 15...- Could be a winning score.- What's that you said?
0:38:33 > 0:38:36Could be a winning score! ALL LAUGH
0:38:44 > 0:38:48- OK, G-G, how are you feeling? - Relatively confident.- Nervous.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51- Do you know how the reds got on? - No.- No.
0:38:51 > 0:38:55Good. Now, you've done this double whammy with these medals.
0:38:55 > 0:39:01As we know, James, in these sales, anything connected with World War II and medals seems to do very well.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03So, fair enough.
0:39:03 > 0:39:07- And if all doesn't go terribly well, you've got the mascot.- Yeah.
0:39:07 > 0:39:12- Our lovely lady.- We've already chartered a plane home for that.
0:39:12 > 0:39:19Brilliant. First up is the first group of medals, including the Italian and African Star.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23Lot 326 is a group of five medals, World War II medal group.
0:39:23 > 0:39:27Lot 326. £20 for those?
0:39:27 > 0:39:30£20 is bid. At £20. I'll sell at 20.
0:39:30 > 0:39:34- It's an opening bid of £20. 25 now. - No!
0:39:34 > 0:39:37No? £25. It's in front of me to my left at 25.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40I'm selling at £25. Last time, then, at 25.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42That's minus £5.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45That does not bode well for the second group, but let's see.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Next up is the lamp standard.
0:39:47 > 0:39:51With Venetian glass stem. £10 starts me here.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55£10 is bid. At £10. At £10. I'll sell at ten.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58- No! - It's an opening bid of ten... >
0:39:58 > 0:40:01I can't bear it. He only had a bid of ten. £15.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05..20. £20. Lady's bid at £20.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08I'm selling at £20. Last time, then, at 20. All done?
0:40:10 > 0:40:14- We were robbed on that.- Yeah. - Minus 40, overall.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Now, here come the other medals.
0:40:16 > 0:40:21Lot 328, another group of five World War II medals.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26Shall we say 20 again? £20 is bid. Tempt you again, sir? 25 now.
0:40:26 > 0:40:3030. No. £30. It's to my right this time, at £30. >
0:40:30 > 0:40:31Selling at £30...
0:40:31 > 0:40:34£30 is minus £40.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36Which is minus £80.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41Let's see how much more we can lose on the bonus buy!
0:40:41 > 0:40:46- Minus £80 could be a winning score. - No, we'll go for it.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49We're going with the bonus buy and here it comes.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52Start me here at 30 on this one, if you will. £30 for this?
0:40:52 > 0:40:54At £30. 20, then..?
0:40:54 > 0:40:57- Oh, come on! - You're joking!
0:40:57 > 0:40:5925, now.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01It's on my left. Lady's bid at 25.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04I'm selling at 25. 30 in the doorway...
0:41:04 > 0:41:06- £30.- That's a bargain.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Somebody's got a good bargain.
0:41:08 > 0:41:12..£40. It's still in the doorway. I'm selling at £40. At 40, then...
0:41:12 > 0:41:15£40 equals minus £60.
0:41:15 > 0:41:19- I'm so sorry.- That's all right. - We're just too trusting.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21That's our problem.
0:41:21 > 0:41:25Minus 140 is the total score. That might be a winning score.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28- Might be. - Don't say a word to the reds.
0:41:28 > 0:41:29Perfect. Thank you.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40Well, this is exciting, isn't it?
0:41:40 > 0:41:43Spectacular losses all round, but tremendous fun!
0:41:43 > 0:41:47- Been chatting about the scale of the losses?- No!
0:41:47 > 0:41:50I have to say that one team has made a whopper.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53- That happens to be the blues. - GROANS/LAUGHTER
0:41:53 > 0:41:57£140 worth of losses, which is going some, isn't it?
0:41:57 > 0:41:59- Yes.- We did well there, I think!
0:41:59 > 0:42:02- Minus £140 is not the record for Bargain Hunt losses.- Ah!
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Thanks for cheering us up!
0:42:05 > 0:42:08You've done rather well, in the scale of the programme.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11- Hope you had a nice time.- Lovely. - We've loved having you on the show.
0:42:11 > 0:42:16But the winners today, who've managed to win by only losing £15, are the reds.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18BOTH: Yes!
0:42:18 > 0:42:23- Helped by Colin Young's bonus buy. - Yes, thank you.- Which is lovely.
0:42:23 > 0:42:27- I was very rude about your tribal art.- You were!- She came through.
0:42:27 > 0:42:31Which I still maintain is as I described it,
0:42:31 > 0:42:34but nevertheless, it made a £10 profit.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37- So, graciously... - Bad taste will always come through!
0:42:37 > 0:42:42- LAUGHTER - Well, I don't know, but anyway, it did its business.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44So, minus £15 is all you're down.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48- Congratulations for winning Bargain Hunt today!- Yay!
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?
0:42:51 > 0:42:52ALL: Yes!
0:42:52 > 0:42:57I know, you're thinking, "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!
