0:00:06 > 0:00:12Today, we're in the grand setting of Kedleston Hall in Derbyshire,
0:00:12 > 0:00:18just the place for a grand day's antiques spotting.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21Ha! Let's go bargain hunting! Yeah!
0:00:50 > 0:00:57Completed in 1765, Kedleston Hall was built for Sir Nathaniel Curzon
0:00:57 > 0:01:03to rival Derbyshire's other jewel in the crown, Chatsworth House.
0:01:03 > 0:01:08So, let's find out how our rival teams get on against one another.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14It's all very exciting because auctioneer, and prices,
0:01:14 > 0:01:15go up and down like a yo-yo.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19- Good stuff. - This is history in the making.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Charles Hanson has a dramatic revelation.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26It's one of the best bargains I've ever seen personally on Bargain Hunt.
0:01:26 > 0:01:27I feel that strongly.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30And the Blues revel in delight.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32- More, more!- Go on!
0:01:32 > 0:01:34- Going... Gone.- Well done.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36'Right, let's meet today's teams.'
0:01:38 > 0:01:43So, on the show today we have a pair of pals, Sarah and Vicky,
0:01:43 > 0:01:47- and we have sisters, Sally and Marie. Hello, everyone.- Hi.- Hello.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Great to see you. Now, Sarah, how did you two meet?
0:01:50 > 0:01:53We are ex-military wives and we met on a military base.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55The thing with the service life is,
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- everyone is moving somewhere very, very quickly, right?- Yes.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01As a service wife, how many homes did you have?
0:02:01 > 0:02:05- Seven in about six years.- Did you? - Yeah!- It is ridiculous, isn't it?
0:02:05 > 0:02:09How you ever bond up and find a buddy when you're on those places
0:02:09 > 0:02:11- must be jolly difficult.- It is.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Now, you do a bit of sailing.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16I ended up teaching it for quite some years, yes.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19It's a lovely thing, though, isn't it? For all generations,
0:02:19 > 0:02:21all ages can go out and sail and have a nice time.
0:02:21 > 0:02:22Absolutely brilliant, yeah.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Vicks, what do you do in your spare time, girl?
0:02:25 > 0:02:28I like walking. I'm from Somerset, so I like to walk.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30And you've also been inside.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- Yes, I have. - How many years did you do?
0:02:34 > 0:02:37I was let out early for good behaviour.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41No, I painted a mural in a local prison
0:02:41 > 0:02:43in the visiting area, the children's area.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46And what was the theme of the prison mural?
0:02:46 > 0:02:48- It was a jungle.- Was it?- Yeah.
0:02:48 > 0:02:49So, team tactics today?
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- Cheap!- Are you going to spend all your money?- No.- No?
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Buy small, make big.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57OK, buy small, make big.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00This is native language, isn't it?
0:03:00 > 0:03:02- Anyway, very good luck. - Thank you.- Lovely.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06Now, Sally, I understand you like doing a bit of treasure hunting.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- I do, yes. Some friends of ours introduced us to a thing called geo-caching.- Oh, yes.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14Which is on the internet and you have to go and get co-ordinates
0:03:14 > 0:03:16and that guides you to a piece of treasure.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18- And you leave it once you've found it?- Once you've found it,
0:03:18 > 0:03:21you sign it and put it back exactly where you found it
0:03:21 > 0:03:22for somebody else to come and find.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25So it's rather like spies going to secret drops.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- It is, because we do call normal people muggles.- Oh, do you?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31- Normal people like me, I'm a muggle.- Yeah.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34If you go somewhere and you see people coming along,
0:03:34 > 0:03:36then you get calls of "Muggles!" from the kids,
0:03:36 > 0:03:40and we have to sort of stand there looking a bit suspicious, really.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44But amateur dramatics is one of your favourite pastimes.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47It is, I love it, yeah. We do about two shows a year.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Now, your sister gets you dragged in to the am-dram a bit too.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52She did. She roped me in a couple of years ago.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56- What's your day job?- My day job, I do mobile hairdressing.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- Do you?- Yeah, which I really, really enjoy.- Right.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01I work around my local villages
0:04:01 > 0:04:03and it's lovely. You get to watch a bit of telly,
0:04:03 > 0:04:07bit of Bargain Hunt while they're under the dryer!
0:04:07 > 0:04:11And that, I hope, will be suitably educative for you today.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Have you have learned enough on Bargain Hunt to come on,
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- do you think, to beat the Reds? - I think so. I'm pretty confident.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- Really?- Yeah.- SARAH: No!
0:04:19 > 0:04:21- Are you going to spend all your money?- I hope so.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23- We're going to try, aren't we? - Yeah, definitely.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- Because I've got lots here. Here's £300 apiece.- Thank you.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29You know the rules. Your experts await, and off you go!
0:04:29 > 0:04:31And very, very, very good luck.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33I could do with a haircut.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Now, let's meet the experts helping out the teams today.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Hoping to ensure the Reds gallop to victory
0:04:41 > 0:04:43is expert Catherine Southon.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45And commanding the blues
0:04:45 > 0:04:47is David Harper. Aye-aye!
0:04:50 > 0:04:53So, ladies, being ex-military wives,
0:04:53 > 0:04:55are you going to be strict with me today?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57I don't think we're going to be strict,
0:04:57 > 0:05:00but I think I'd like something little and silver.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Little and silver? What about you, Vick?
0:05:02 > 0:05:06I had a premonition about having a pincushion, a silver pincushion.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Silver pincushion?
0:05:07 > 0:05:09I have a distinct feeling
0:05:09 > 0:05:11we're going to be looking for something glamorous.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- Very sparkly. - Definitely.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- A bit of bling?- Definitely.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Small, silver.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Let's go, girls.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- Like magpies, aren't we? - Oh, good.- Nice and shiny.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27I love it. You're a couple of shiny girls, a couple of shiny diamonds,
0:05:27 > 0:05:29and what am I in the middle?
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Bit of old coal. Come on, 60 minutes, let's go.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35Armed with £300,
0:05:35 > 0:05:39both teams must find their items in under an hour to take to auction.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41There's definitely no time for indecision.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Oh, oh, oh, oh.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Oh, oh.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54- Oh.- Oh, look at... They are like magpies.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58- We did try and say. - Show me blingy things.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00That's pretty, that one there.
0:06:00 > 0:06:01It's unusual, but still quite trendy.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- Black and gold?- Yeah.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05That's a commemorative ring.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07It's a mourning ring.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11It's almost something you might describe as niello
0:06:11 > 0:06:14and it's a way of decorating silver.
0:06:14 > 0:06:19The Egyptians are accredited with originating niello decoration.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23It's a mixture of copper, silver and lead sulphides
0:06:23 > 0:06:27which are used to inlay engraved or etched metal.
0:06:27 > 0:06:301914-18 obviously is the Great War,
0:06:30 > 0:06:34so this is commemorating him during the First World War.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Was he anybody that's worth...
0:06:36 > 0:06:38that someone would collect memorabilia for?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40A monarch.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Pretty important if you're Belgian.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47I like it.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49What do you think?
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Anything First World War is very interesting
0:06:52 > 0:06:54and always collected.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58Sally is sort of pulling a face, if you don't mind me saying.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00If you want to get it, then...
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Do you not think?
0:07:02 > 0:07:03It's all on your head.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06I love it because it's really risky.
0:07:06 > 0:07:11You can lose your shirt or celebrate with a great profit.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13I like a bit of risk.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14I love risk.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16What price could you go down to on this?
0:07:16 > 0:07:20- WOMAN:- I would do it for 60. I couldn't go any lower than that.
0:07:20 > 0:07:2355 and we'll call it a day.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25It really has to be 60, I would if I could.
0:07:26 > 0:07:2957.50?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Don't work in 50ps!
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- DAVID:- 57 then?
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Yeah, go on.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39- WOMAN:- Go on.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41You've done it.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Well done.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44Thank you very much.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46The first thing you look at, you buy.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49I love you two, you're fantastic.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51That's quick work, Blues.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53You've only just started shopping, well done.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- Hello. - Hello.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Right, we're wasting time.
0:07:58 > 0:07:59Yes, you do.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Are you two dashing off, are you leaving me behind?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04I think we were very wise there.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06There might be something sparkly in there.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Come on, we'll go sparkly hunting.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Sparkly hunting?
0:08:10 > 0:08:12You're suppose to be bargain hunting!
0:08:13 > 0:08:15What do you think about this?
0:08:15 > 0:08:16Oh, yes.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Oh, no.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- That's wonderful. - It's small.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- Maybe we'll come back to that one. - Yes, maybe.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Pop it back, dear.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Covered in money spiders.
0:08:29 > 0:08:30- Is he really? - Look.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33He's not... Oh, he has got a money spider.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34- Is that good? - It's £96.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36He's lovely.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37But he's probably '50s.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Do you want to put him in reserve?
0:08:39 > 0:08:41No, because I believe in fate,
0:08:41 > 0:08:44if he's gone, then it wasn't meant to be.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46We'll leave him there.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Fate hangs in the balance for the Blues,
0:08:48 > 0:08:51but are our Reds equally superstitious?
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- What's our lucky number? - Six.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56We saw a black cat this morning.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57Lucky number 13.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59That's not very lucky, is it?
0:09:01 > 0:09:02- I like that. - Do you like it?
0:09:02 > 0:09:04- Yeah.- Where the ashenpumps are.
0:09:04 > 0:09:09I could never say elephant as a little girl, it was an ashenpump.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11So we call them ashenpumps.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14How much would you pay for a bracelet of ashenpumps?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16I would pay about...
0:09:16 > 0:09:18£35, £40.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20I thought about 95.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25I've just brought you the dream clients, haven't I?
0:09:25 > 0:09:27She'll pay 95, she'll pay 35.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- All he wants is 12 quid. - No way!
0:09:30 > 0:09:33It's Indian, definitely a 20th century one.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35No hallmarks.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37It's a base metal of some sort.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40What's the best price you can do on the ashenpumps?
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- MAN:- There's one deal and it's £10.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- DAVID:- For a £10 note, it's positively for nothing.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49For a gorgeous bit of costume jewellery and it might make 20,
0:09:49 > 0:09:52might make 30... I don't think...
0:09:52 > 0:09:54I'm liking that.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56How much money can you lose on a tenner?
0:09:56 > 0:09:58- Shall we go for it? - Yeah, I think so.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00I think the ashenpumps have done it.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02- And the money spiders were in the tent.- They were.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06We've just had the money spiders, ashenpumps, seven elephants,
0:10:06 > 0:10:08lucky number, let's go for it.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Great, that's item number two bought for the Blues.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Luck certainly seems to be on their side,
0:10:13 > 0:10:15but can the Reds see a change in fortune?
0:10:15 > 0:10:18They need to make a purchase quick.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20What about the bird cage?
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- That's your kind of stuff, isn't it? - Yes, I like that.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- Do you? - Yes.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28What would you use it for? It has been used.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Put plants or something in it.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33I'd want that for 20 quid.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- Shall we ask? - Go and see.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38What's the lowest you would go?
0:10:38 > 0:10:4045.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43We'd want it for about 20, to be honest.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45- MAN:- I paid 37 for it.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Well, that's fair enough.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Shall we have a wander?
0:10:50 > 0:10:52- We'll have a wander. - Thank you anyway.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Keep on wandering, Reds.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56But don't leave it too long.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58We're now almost halfway through the shop
0:10:58 > 0:10:59and you still haven't bought anything.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Meanwhile David seems very happy with his team.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07They home in, they like it, if they can afford it, they buy it.
0:11:07 > 0:11:08Absolutely dream women.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11He's just agreeing to everything we're saying.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Yeah.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14Spending well, aren't we?
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Yeah, two items bought already.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18So now we're going for something big.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19Big one.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20I like your plans, girls,
0:11:20 > 0:11:23but Catherine seems to have a plan all of her own.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27I hope it works because you need to buy something.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29What do you think about that cage?
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Shall I run back and see what the very best is I can get?
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- Shall I run back? - He's adamant, 37, he paid for it.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37I'll go and see what I can do. You stay there, you keep looking.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44We're having a bit of a panic cos we've had 26 minutes
0:11:44 > 0:11:45and we've bought nothing.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Can you help us out? Can we do it for 30?
0:11:48 > 0:11:49I can't do it for 30.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53I paid 37 for it, if I can get my money back, I'll be happy.
0:11:53 > 0:11:54OK. Girls.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59If we pay him £37...
0:11:59 > 0:12:01- Yes.- Shall we go for this?
0:12:01 > 0:12:02Yes.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04First deal done. Pressure off.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Not quite, Catherine, but that's your first purchase though,
0:12:07 > 0:12:08well done.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11Whilst the teams continue to shop,
0:12:11 > 0:12:13why not have a look at something I found on
0:12:13 > 0:12:15a previous visit to Kedleston.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20This is the splat that would have fitted between
0:12:20 > 0:12:23the top rail of a chair and the seat rail of a chair.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27And is, if you like, in chair-making terms
0:12:27 > 0:12:30the bit that the chair maker would lavish more care and attention on
0:12:30 > 0:12:34than any other piece in the construction of the chair.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Why nine chairs have fallen apart
0:12:38 > 0:12:42and these nine back splats have been kept, I know not.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44This one is made of mahogany
0:12:44 > 0:12:48and it's loosely in the manner of Thomas Chippendale.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51It's got the Chippendale Gothic spiky bits,
0:12:51 > 0:12:55and it's got these nice carved, curly pieces,
0:12:55 > 0:12:59but what I like about this box full of nine is the sheer variety.
0:12:59 > 0:13:04This is like a lesson in 18th century chair back design
0:13:04 > 0:13:06because this one's made of elm.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10That's a balloon swelling form and down here it comes to a vase
0:13:10 > 0:13:12and that's got two pierced details.
0:13:12 > 0:13:18The next one, same period, 1780s, is a wheatsheaf.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22You can imagine the ears of corn at the top, tied in the middle
0:13:22 > 0:13:25and then spreading down at the bottom.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28This one, here's another Georgian one.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30This time in elm, not in mahogany.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Here, we've got another balloon,
0:13:33 > 0:13:36but this one's got super patination.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37What are you going to do with them?
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Well, that is a problem.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Unless you're going to construct some new chairs
0:13:43 > 0:13:45and insert the old backs in,
0:13:45 > 0:13:49some would say, these things, delightful they may be,
0:13:49 > 0:13:51are completely useless.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54What I would do if I was putting in a new staircase,
0:13:54 > 0:13:57is I'd make a complete arrangement of
0:13:57 > 0:14:01different shaped 18th century chair splats
0:14:01 > 0:14:05to fill in the space between the handrail at the top
0:14:05 > 0:14:07and the stair rail at the bottom.
0:14:07 > 0:14:12Is that not the most fantastic novel and imaginative use
0:14:12 > 0:14:16of these otherwise scrap 18th century chair backs?
0:14:16 > 0:14:19What would you have to pay for nine of them here today?
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Top end - £40.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25That's less than £5 each.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28THAT is what you call a bargain.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32How are the teams getting on with their shopping?
0:14:33 > 0:14:37I still can't believe we bought a bird cage.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Shall we buy these birds to go in it?
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Yeah, let's buy some birds.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Let's have a whole bird theme.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49I think I have to redirect.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51OK. Steer me away.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53We haven't got long, girls.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55You're right, Catherine, all this talk of birds,
0:14:55 > 0:14:57but it's the time that's flying.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- 13 minutes left. - Uh-oh.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02It goes in a flash.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Come on, I'm going to put some pressure on you.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Let's start not just looking, let's start buying.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09Feel how heavy that is.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Let's have a look at this.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14This is a letter opener, this is French.
0:15:15 > 0:15:16Has it got a hallmark on it?
0:15:16 > 0:15:18No.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20But you've tested it?
0:15:20 > 0:15:21Yeah.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24- It's quite pretty, isn't it? - Is it.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27I would say this is probably late 19th century,
0:15:27 > 0:15:30so about 1880s, 1890s in date.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33I think it's lovely and I think it's a very pretty little thing.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37Just worries me because we can't say that it is silver.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39- What's on it?- 50.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41What can you do for that?
0:15:41 > 0:15:4335 would be the best I could do on it.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46What do you think?
0:15:46 > 0:15:47It's a possibility.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Anything else you've got that's special?
0:15:50 > 0:15:52This is quite nice.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54It may be beyond your... A little pincushion.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56THEY GASP
0:15:56 > 0:15:58A silver pincushion.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01It's a coronation chair.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Really nice detail.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06What's the price on this? £180.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09140 would be the best I could do.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Do we want to buy two pieces of silver?
0:16:12 > 0:16:14I can feel the angst.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Would we get a better deal...
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Can you do something for us here?
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Two for you for 140.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22That's the best I can do.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26I'd like to say 100 for that and 30 for that...
0:16:27 > 0:16:29..would be better.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32- OK. - Do you want to have one quick whizz?
0:16:32 > 0:16:35We've got ten minutes.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Thank you very much indeed.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Yes, off you go, girls.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Back up.
0:16:41 > 0:16:42Yes, I like.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44- Oh, you do? - Yeah.
0:16:44 > 0:16:45OK.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46We couldn't wear it.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50- No.- What is it? - It's an epergne.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Is that for putting nibbles in on the table or something?
0:16:52 > 0:16:53You could do.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57- That, you'd put flowers in. - Oh, right.- What date do you think?
0:16:57 > 0:16:591912.
0:16:59 > 0:17:00Why so specific?
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Cos I've just read the label.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Oh, that's cheating!
0:17:04 > 0:17:06That is cheating!
0:17:06 > 0:17:07She is terrible.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09You love it for what reason?
0:17:09 > 0:17:10Because it shines.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12And it's different.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13Is it different?
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Different to me, I've never seen one before.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18It's a table centrepiece.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Any markings? There we are.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23That tells you everything that you need to know.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25"EPNS."
0:17:25 > 0:17:26Electroplate nickel silver.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28So it is just silver plated.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31If that was solid silver, there's £1,000 of anyone's money.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Anyone's money, that's £1,000.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36But it is plated.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38What do you think of the price, though? Is it a bit steep?
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- What is it? - 140.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Depends what we could do. Shall I get a price?
0:17:43 > 0:17:46You two think about it, talk about it, I'll go and get a price.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Off you go, David and work your magic.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Meanwhile the Reds are deliberating.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53What was it? 135?
0:17:53 > 0:17:56130 I think.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Let's go back, see what he says.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00We'll give him one last try, if not, we'll pay.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- Shall we go? - Yes.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07After a little bit of negotiating,
0:18:07 > 0:18:10bottom line, death price - 80 quid.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Do you think there's profit in there?
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Right place, yes, no doubt.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Shall we risk it for a biscuit?
0:18:17 > 0:18:18I do like it.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21It's very shiny, it's useable.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Sold, to the woman in blue.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25We wanted a bigger object.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27You did say, and it's shiny.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29- Let's go for it.- And it's novelty.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31And you two are quirky. And we've got it.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34- Shall I go and say yes? - Yes, please.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- The dream team without a doubt. - The winners!- Yeah!
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Don't count your chickens just yet, Blues.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43But well done, that's all three times bought.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47Sarah heads back to the silver stall holder with a cheeky request.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49I just wanted to ask
0:18:49 > 0:18:54if there was anyway you would go to 25 on the little letter opener?
0:18:56 > 0:18:58OK.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Oh, so 100 for that and 25 for that.
0:19:00 > 0:19:05- Thank you very much.- That's two items.- Yes.- Are you happy?- Yes.- Yes.
0:19:05 > 0:19:10Are you? Oh, you're delighted, oh, that's wonderful. Group hug!
0:19:10 > 0:19:14After all that, girls, well done, you two.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18Two more purchases made and that means you've finished your shopping.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22"Tempus fugit", cor, time flies. In fact time's up.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Let's check out what the Red team bought, eh?
0:19:25 > 0:19:29They flew off with this 20th-century bird cage for £37.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34A late 19th-century silver miniature paper knife cost them £25.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38And their crowning glory, the silver pincushion in the form
0:19:38 > 0:19:41of a coronation chair set them back £100.
0:19:43 > 0:19:49- Now, Sarah, Vickles, what did you spend in total, you girls?- £162.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Did you? I'm so proud of you. You are so marvellous.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55£162, I'd like £138 in leftover lolly, please.
0:19:55 > 0:20:02£138, oh, more money coming, look at that.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05- Now, Sarah, which is your favourite piece?- The pincushion.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09The pincushion is your favourite. Do you agree with that, Vicks?
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- Um, I like the bird cage. - You like the bird cage best.- Yes.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Will the bird cage bring the biggest profit?
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Absolutely, I think it probably will, actually.
0:20:16 > 0:20:17- You agree with your mate. - I do, yes.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19All right, fine. Here's a nice wodge.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22I think you had a very happy shop there, didn't you, Catherine?
0:20:22 > 0:20:26I had an amazing shop. These girls are such good fun, too.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28I know. Any idea what you're going to buy?
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- I know exactly what I'm going to buy and it is a corker.- Is it?
0:20:31 > 0:20:33OK, well, on that happy note why don't we check out
0:20:33 > 0:20:35what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:20:35 > 0:20:39This World War I commemorative ring cost them £57.
0:20:40 > 0:20:45They then cast £10 of their budget into the mid-20th century
0:20:45 > 0:20:46white metal bracelet.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49And finally the silver-plated epergne
0:20:49 > 0:20:52set them back a dazzling £80.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57She thinks she's going to fall into the water? Why would that be then?
0:20:57 > 0:21:00- Is the ground going to give way? - I just feel a bit unsteady.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03- Is she like this, your sister? What happened?- All the time.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06- Is she really?- I've spent an hour with them.- Yes, of course you have.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08- And you loved every moment of it, didn't you?- Yeah, he did.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Yes, he did, and I can't blame you.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Now, what I want to know is what is your favourite item, please?
0:21:14 > 0:21:18My favourite is the elephant bracelet, or the ashenpump bracelet.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19THEY LAUGH
0:21:19 > 0:21:20Do you agree with that?
0:21:20 > 0:21:25No, my favourite was the dining table stand that we've bought.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28OK, is that going to bring the biggest profit?
0:21:28 > 0:21:32No, I think the ring is going to be a bit of a surprise.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34It might be a bad one as well.
0:21:34 > 0:21:35THEY LAUGH
0:21:35 > 0:21:40- Now you say!- OK, brilliant, so you spent in total how much?- £147.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44I love it, £153 of leftover lolly, please.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47OK, this goes over to the converter,
0:21:47 > 0:21:49that's the converter from cash to profit.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Got any idea as to what you're going to do?
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Yeah, I think something bright and cheerful, just like these two.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56They've really brightened my day, I'm going
0:21:56 > 0:21:57to try and brighten their auction.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00All right, good luck to that, good luck, girls.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Now, let's take a look at something I found on my travels.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14A lot of people ask me what I've got on the end of my gold chain
0:22:14 > 0:22:17because I usually wear a gold chain with either a watch or a pen knife
0:22:17 > 0:22:22or a seal. And this is a fob seal.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26It's the object that you would use to impress into some molten
0:22:26 > 0:22:31sealing wax to seal an envelope. I found it recently in an auction.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33It's made of 18 carat gold.
0:22:33 > 0:22:38The important thing about this seal, though, is who owned it
0:22:38 > 0:22:44and if I turn it upside down you can see we have an initial. A capital N.
0:22:44 > 0:22:49An N beneath an emperor's crown.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53Who do you suppose that might represent?
0:22:53 > 0:22:57Well, it is the Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02Could this be the personal seal of the Emperor,
0:23:02 > 0:23:08the greatest tyrant that Europe ever saw, that fought those wars for 19
0:23:08 > 0:23:12long years and was responsible for the death millions of people?
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Well, it might just be.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18The Emperor Napoleon in his will,
0:23:18 > 0:23:22when he died on Saint Helena, left two gold seals.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24One was the seal of France.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28The other was his personal seal, which he left to his son.
0:23:28 > 0:23:36Is it or isn't it Napoleon's seal? Incredibly difficult to prove.
0:23:36 > 0:23:41But the quality and nature of the worked gold is really very high
0:23:41 > 0:23:47and it has one more very special and very unusual feature.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51If you look around the engraved outside border it's got
0:23:51 > 0:23:52a tiny little hole
0:23:52 > 0:23:56and if you happen to have a little pin and you push it into that
0:23:56 > 0:24:02little hole, hey presto, the whole bottom of the seal hinges open...
0:24:02 > 0:24:03Look at that!
0:24:03 > 0:24:05..to reveal a cavity,
0:24:05 > 0:24:09a secret compartment in which the Emperor Napoleon could have
0:24:09 > 0:24:13hidden his poison if he didn't want to be captured.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15I've seen lots of these seals
0:24:15 > 0:24:19and I have never seen one with a hinged secret compartment.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23So in itself it's incredibly unusual.
0:24:23 > 0:24:28With the Napoleonic connection, it is irresistible.
0:24:29 > 0:24:34I found it and I paid £800 for this joker, together with the chain.
0:24:34 > 0:24:39Weigh out the gold and the gold is worth approximately £800.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43I paid the gold price for this, but if I'm right and this is
0:24:43 > 0:24:50Napoleon's personal seal it could be worth as much as £10,000 to £20,000.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Ooh la la!
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Well, what fun is this?
0:25:09 > 0:25:11We've come six or eight miles down the road,
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Kedleston to Etwall in a straight line to be with our Charles.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- Hi, Carlos.- Hi, Tim.- Great to be here.- Great to have you here.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Now Sarah and Vicky, they went with this bird cage.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21It's a lovely cage but we've got no bird.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25No. Tim, I think it's aesthetic, it's got a look about it
0:25:25 > 0:25:27and the bird on top makes up for the bird not being in there.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30- We'd like it to have wings, really. - Yes.- What's your estimate?
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Well, Tim, hopefully it will fly away
0:25:32 > 0:25:35and my guide price is between £50 and £100.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36Well, it's certainly novel
0:25:36 > 0:25:39- and you get an awful lot of cage for the £37 they paid.- Really?
0:25:39 > 0:25:42- Do you think £37 is cheap enough? - I think, Tim, there's the profit there.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44I'm with you there, Charles, so that's lovely,
0:25:44 > 0:25:46they should get a profit on that.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50Next is this oddball piece of what I suppose is Turkish silver.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52It's not hallmarked at all.
0:25:52 > 0:25:53There's nothing on there to give us
0:25:53 > 0:25:58any indication as to country of origin, but that blade is very short.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02Yes. It certainly is. OK, it's nicely made, whatever it is.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06- What's it worth?- I would say its value is between £30 and £50.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Fair enough, I think you've got a lot there for £30 to £50.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12- Our lot only paid £25, so that's pretty cool.- Good.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Lastly is the pincushion, coronation chair, Westminster Abbey.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18It's hallmarked and it's novel and it's a pincushion
0:26:18 > 0:26:22and when you put all those words together the market desires.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25It is top-notch craftsmanship, isn't it?
0:26:25 > 0:26:27It's chiselled, it really is a glorious piece of royal history.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Isn't it? I mean, to make that is going to take somebody hours
0:26:30 > 0:26:33and hours and hours. It ought to be worth £200 or £300, really.
0:26:33 > 0:26:34What's your estimate?
0:26:34 > 0:26:37We've been quite realistic because we want the wind behind it
0:26:37 > 0:26:40and I hope it might make 120, 130, 150, even.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43But my guide price is between £60 and £100.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45- That's because you're a cunning monkey.- I'm...
0:26:45 > 0:26:48You're trying to tempt the buyers in, aren't you, Charles?
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Tim, we want a party and we want competition.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53Yeah, you'll get a party all right, don't you worry about that.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55£100 they paid, let's hope they make a profit.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57I reckon because of the bird cage they're going to do very nicely
0:26:57 > 0:27:01so they won't need the bonus buy, but let's go and have a look at it.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03- Now, girls, this is exciting, isn't it?- Yes.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07What did Catherine Southon do with the £138 of leftover lolly
0:27:07 > 0:27:12- you gave her? Catherine.- Well, what did I do indeed? Here we are.
0:27:12 > 0:27:19- I bought you...- Oh, no.- What do you mean, "Oh, no"?- It's horrible!
0:27:19 > 0:27:23- Looks like it's been run over. - It's roadkill!
0:27:23 > 0:27:27- It's a paperweight, isn't he? - Is that what it is?- I think so.
0:27:27 > 0:27:32- I think so.- How much was that? - I thought you'd like this!
0:27:32 > 0:27:37The interesting thing about him is if you turn him over, we've got...
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Oh, this is this chap in Austria, isn't it?
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Yes, see the little B in the urn?
0:27:42 > 0:27:44I was thinking it could be Bergman.
0:27:44 > 0:27:49If it is right it could be worth a couple of hundred.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53- If it's not, we could be looking at 50 quid.- And how much was he?
0:27:53 > 0:27:56It was 60 quid, so it's a bit of a gamble, girls.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Vicks, you're looking a bit horrified but handle it
0:27:58 > 0:28:01because handling it is what it's all about.
0:28:01 > 0:28:02It's quite heavy.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Weigh it all up, but right now, for the audience at home, let's find out
0:28:05 > 0:28:08whether the auctioneer likes Catherine's old croc.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11So here we go, this is a crocodile.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14It got out of the zoo, it went on the M5, it's completely flattened.
0:28:14 > 0:28:19- It's curious.- Seriously, it's the oddest thing, isn't it?- Isn't it?
0:28:19 > 0:28:22But it's crisp and obviously we think back to the great Bergman
0:28:22 > 0:28:27bronzes of the early 20th century and it has got that depth of patination.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30It has got that look which reflects that jazz age
0:28:30 > 0:28:32and the fashion for the tropical.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36I'm not sure whether it makes it more saleable or less saleable, being flat.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39I think Bergman was known towards the end of his career for producing
0:28:39 > 0:28:43the more whimsical, the more novel, the more peculiar objects
0:28:43 > 0:28:45and this, I think, comes under that canopy of being a bit peculiar.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47What's your estimate?
0:28:47 > 0:28:51I think it might make up to £80, but guide price between £40 and £60.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55OK, £60 paid by Catherine Southon. It might do it, mightn't it?
0:28:55 > 0:28:58Oh, Tim, if you are a gentleman with your envelopes and the wind's
0:28:58 > 0:29:02blowing, you'd put your flat crocodile on top to keep them there.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05- Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.- Yes.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07We've got the Belgian interest here.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11The little pinky ring of Albert I, King of the Belgians.
0:29:11 > 0:29:18He reigned 1909 to 1934. This is gunmetal and gilt, probably gold.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21- It is full of sentiment and history.- Yes.
0:29:21 > 0:29:26So we have been quite inviting, with a guide price of between £60
0:29:26 > 0:29:29- and £100.- Wow! That's great. They paid £57.
0:29:29 > 0:29:30Next is a white metal bracelet.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32It seems to have heffalumps on it,
0:29:32 > 0:29:35- which would indicate to me that it might be Indian.- Yes.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38- It doesn't test silver. We have had to call it white metal.- How much?
0:29:38 > 0:29:42- Between £30 and £50.- Fair enough. £10 paid.- Great.
0:29:42 > 0:29:43Can't argue with that.
0:29:43 > 0:29:44Now, the epergne.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47How many times do you have a party where you need to put
0:29:47 > 0:29:49bonbons in swinging dishes like that?
0:29:49 > 0:29:51And a vase of freesias in the middle.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54I am not saying do you love it or not, is it practical or isn't it?
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Oh, Tim, I would happily have that all day on my table at home.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59- Would you?- Yes, one bowl for my wife,
0:29:59 > 0:30:01one for me and we could take our nibbles respectively.
0:30:01 > 0:30:05- I suppose that's true. So how much, then?- Between £40 and £60.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08- But I hope that would give it liftoff.- Is that all? Only £40-£60?
0:30:08 > 0:30:10- Yes.- Our guys paid 80.- Oh, did they?
0:30:10 > 0:30:14On that basis, they may need their bonus buy, so let's have a look at it.
0:30:15 > 0:30:19- Sally, Marie. This is exciting, isn't it?- Very exciting.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23- You gave your man £153.- Yeah.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25- Yes.- £153 you had, David Harper.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29- What did you get up to, you rascal? - Well, tell me if you love this.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31- Oh, my word!- It's very threadbare, isn't it?
0:30:31 > 0:30:36- A bit of a damp squib.- It looks old. - It's very old. It's a coat.
0:30:36 > 0:30:41And a waistcoat, Regency, early 19th century. 1820, or thereabouts.
0:30:41 > 0:30:46So it is a historic piece of clothing. Would you like to wear it?
0:30:46 > 0:30:48- Not particularly.- No?
0:30:48 > 0:30:51- Very grand. Very sophisticated. - How much did you pay for it?
0:30:51 > 0:30:53- Oh, straight to the money.- Yes. - Definitely.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57- What do you think?- I don't know.- I'm not sure I'd take it as a free gift!
0:30:57 > 0:31:00- What did you pay?- 20 quid. - Is that all?
0:31:00 > 0:31:02With all that money we gave you?
0:31:02 > 0:31:06- Oh, don't get so angry!- But this is the point, you great tease.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09They think you have spent 100 and something pounds...
0:31:09 > 0:31:11Is that what was worrying you? It will double its money.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13It has to make 40 quid.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16If he's right, and you need the bonus buy,
0:31:16 > 0:31:18you can go with this object.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20You don't decide now, you can pick later if you want to.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22But right now, for the audience at home,
0:31:22 > 0:31:25let's find out what Charles Hanson thinks about the tatty old coat.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30Well, there you've got it, hanging up on your very own hanger.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32How do you rate that frock coat?
0:31:32 > 0:31:35I think the joy of antiques is, if that could talk to us,
0:31:35 > 0:31:38- what would it tell us? - It would tell you, I'm worn out.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41But what Regency dandy wore this and probably hopped and skipped down
0:31:41 > 0:31:44the streets of a fashionable town
0:31:44 > 0:31:47like Bath in that period of 1800, 1810.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49And it is lived in. It has been worn.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51The wonderful thing is, look,
0:31:51 > 0:31:55you have even got sweat marks under the arms. Tim.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59- That's attractive, Charles(!) - But Tim, it's history. It's alive.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01It's firing and it feels fantastic to see it today.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03It is the dandy of the day.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06If I was born in that period, I would be wearing that all day long.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10- What's to stop you now?- I have tried it, it's a bit short for me!
0:32:10 > 0:32:12Oh, right. How much would you reckon that at auction?
0:32:12 > 0:32:16We like it so much that we are hoping it might make £100.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20- Really?- Yes. - Well, Harper will be over the top because he only paid £20.
0:32:20 > 0:32:24- He didn't?!- He paid £20. - It is one of the best bargains, Tim, I have ever seen, personally,
0:32:24 > 0:32:27on Bargain Hunt. I feel that strongly.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30Lordy! Well, we had better stand by, then.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33- Well, it depends whether the team go with it or not.- I hope so.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36But if they're fired up with your enthusiasm, Charles,
0:32:36 > 0:32:37they definitely will.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41- And that's all we need, isn't it, enthusiasm?- I hope so, too. - And very good luck today.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43- Thank you, Tim.- Thank you very much.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51Now, Sarah, this is exciting, isn't it?
0:32:51 > 0:32:54I think Charles Hanson is in form, don't you? Look at him.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58- Now, anything you wish you hadn't bought, girls?- No.- No, no.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00- No, we're OK.- You're happy with it? - Yes.- OK, fine.
0:33:00 > 0:33:05First up is going to be the old bird cage, and here it comes.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07This is a 20th-century bird cage on a school stand.
0:33:07 > 0:33:11Where do we start this? Interesting. I am only bid here £25.
0:33:11 > 0:33:17- Bid me 30 now. - Come on, come on!- £25 I am bid. 30.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20Surely £30 for a wonderful bird cage! I am bid...
0:33:20 > 0:33:2530, ma'am, 35, 40. I'm out. Look at it. £40, 5?
0:33:25 > 0:33:28You're bidding, sir, or are you drinking? No, you're not bidding.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30Fine. Sorry. £40 I am bid.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Do I see five? Come on, giving it away and £40.
0:33:33 > 0:33:38- All done. Only... £45? 45 online!- Yes!
0:33:38 > 0:33:3945 online.
0:33:39 > 0:33:4450, Miss White. One for the road? 50 online, bid me a fiver.
0:33:44 > 0:33:49- One for the bird.- £55? Because life is too short. No, 50 in the room.
0:33:49 > 0:33:54We sell, going once, going twice, it's £50 all out.
0:33:54 > 0:33:58- Sold!- Yes, well done, Charles. That is plus £13.
0:33:58 > 0:33:59What could be better than that?
0:33:59 > 0:34:02Now, moving on, here comes the paper knife.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05This is a gorgeous little silver miniature paper knife with
0:34:05 > 0:34:08filigree work, with turquoise. A bit of interest here.
0:34:08 > 0:34:14I am bid...well, not a lot, £15. £18, do I see? £15. 18.
0:34:14 > 0:34:1720 and 2. 5, 8. 30 is my bid, 2 and I'm out.
0:34:17 > 0:34:21- You're in profit.- Asking five now. 35 online, 40 online.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24- Bid me a fiver. £40 I'm bid in the room.- Well done, girls.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28Bid me a fiver or I sell at £40.
0:34:28 > 0:34:33- All-out... All done at £40. - Well done, Charles. Plus £15.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37That means you are plus £28. Now, look out.
0:34:37 > 0:34:41This is an unusual pincushion in the form of a coronation chair
0:34:41 > 0:34:42from Westminster Abbey. Hallmarked.
0:34:42 > 0:34:50- The day to sell it, today.- Yes.- I am already bid 55, £65. 70, 80, 90...
0:34:50 > 0:34:56- Go on, go on.- 80, 90, 5, 100, 110 120, 130...- You are so brilliant!
0:34:56 > 0:35:025? 130 I am bid. In the room now do I see 135? Come on!
0:35:02 > 0:35:06It's a wonderful collectable at 130. Online do I see 135? You're out.
0:35:06 > 0:35:10You're in, sir. On the aisle at 130, I'll take 135.
0:35:13 > 0:35:17Yes, 135! 140? 145. Are you sure, sir? Thank you very much.
0:35:17 > 0:35:22140 I'm bid. Do I see 145 now? It's a real collectable.
0:35:22 > 0:35:26- All out we are at 140. My gavel is up to you, sir.- Sold, done it!
0:35:26 > 0:35:31He has done it. 140, that's £40. You had 28, you are now plus £68.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35Now, team, this is a bit of a question. Yeah, bonus buy.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38Do you park a 68 and take it home,
0:35:38 > 0:35:42or do you decide to go with the flat crocodile and hope for the best?
0:35:42 > 0:35:44- Let's do it.- You reckon you want it? - Yes, go on.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46We're going with the bonus buy.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49This has an awful lot riding on it, this flat crocodile.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Where do we start this? A bit of interest here.
0:35:51 > 0:35:56- I can start with bids of £45 in the room now.- No, that's not enough.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00- 5, 70?- You're in profit. - Bid me five now, come on.
0:36:00 > 0:36:0770, I'll take 5. £70 on the aisle 70 on the aisle, bid me five now.
0:36:07 > 0:36:1170, I'll take 5. I'm out and you're in, sir. £70.
0:36:11 > 0:36:16- £70 is good enough.- All over to you, sir. Fair warning.- I love it. £70.
0:36:16 > 0:36:21Plus 10. Thank you. There we go. I knew it would be all right.
0:36:21 > 0:36:26Plus £78 is folding money to take home.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29- Nobody does this on Bargain Hunt. So, well done.- Thank you.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33- Don't say a word to the Blues.- No. - Keep it quiet.- Yes.- Promise? - Promise.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35Well done, Catherine. Thank you very much.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48Now, Sally and Marie, how are you feeling?
0:36:48 > 0:36:54- Very anxious, nervous, excited. - Excited, yes.
0:36:54 > 0:36:58If there is a jeopardy item out of your three, it is the epergne,
0:36:58 > 0:36:59the last item, I'm afraid.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02But on the other hand, you have got that frock coat.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06- You have got that fellow to fall back on, haven't you?- We have.
0:37:06 > 0:37:10- Yes. Might be something that we need to take the chance on.- Yes.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12And it's a £20 gamble at the end of it.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14I'll come back to you about that, yeah?
0:37:14 > 0:37:19First up is King Albert I's pinky ring. And here it comes.
0:37:19 > 0:37:20A bit of interest.
0:37:20 > 0:37:25I have got bids at £25, 35, bid me 40 now. Surely?
0:37:25 > 0:37:3040, I'm out online. £40 we are out of the room, in online.
0:37:30 > 0:37:34Do I see five now? £40 I'm bid in the room, do I see five?
0:37:34 > 0:37:36- Come on, come on!- Surely one more?
0:37:36 > 0:37:42- £40, my gavel is up at £40 and falling at 40.- Oh!
0:37:42 > 0:37:44I had a funny feeling about that.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47I had a good feeling about that one!
0:37:47 > 0:37:49Anyway, the metal bracelet I have a good feeling about.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53There it is. It is a wonderful little small bracelet.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56I am only bid here £12, £15, £18?
0:37:56 > 0:38:01Do I see 20 now? 20. 22? 5.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07And I will be out. I've got 22. One more? 25?
0:38:07 > 0:38:11- I would! Definitely. - Asking eight now.- Yes!- 30?
0:38:11 > 0:38:17Are you sure? Look at me. You sure? Is that a yes?
0:38:17 > 0:38:21No, 28 I'm bid, I am asking 30 now. Fair warning.
0:38:21 > 0:38:25- One more?- Yes, go on, go, go, go! - 30.- Yes!- 30.
0:38:25 > 0:38:295? 40. 5.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33Are you sure, madam? £40 I am bid, do I see five now?
0:38:33 > 0:38:36£40 I am bid, do I see five? Come on, fair warning.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39We sell to a lady. Thank you, ma'am. At £40.
0:38:39 > 0:38:44- I say going at £40, going, going, gone.- Well done, Charles.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46That is plus 30. Look at that, straightaway.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50You were minus 17, you are now plus 13. How good is that?
0:38:50 > 0:38:54- Now we've got the dodgy piece. - Right, the epergne.
0:38:54 > 0:38:55This really is classic.
0:38:55 > 0:39:00If you want good dining, you might want a very sophisticated epergne.
0:39:00 > 0:39:05I am only bid here 25, £35. I am asking £40 now. Who would like it?
0:39:07 > 0:39:1145, 50, I'm out. Thank you, sir. 50 takes my bid. Do I see five now?
0:39:11 > 0:39:14Surely, five. 50 I'm bid, do I see five?
0:39:14 > 0:39:17Surely, somebody. Online, bid me a fiver?
0:39:17 > 0:39:21- No, she says. 5. 60? 5? 70.- Keep going.- Are you sure?
0:39:21 > 0:39:27One more, sir. Look at me. Are you sure? No, you said. The lady is in.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29Thank you, madam. At £65 and I shall sell,
0:39:29 > 0:39:33and say going, all out and done at £65.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35Fair warning.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38I can't bear it. £65 is minus £15.
0:39:38 > 0:39:42You had £13, which makes you minus £2. Oh, petals!
0:39:42 > 0:39:44What are we going to do about this frock coat?
0:39:44 > 0:39:47- I think we'll have to gamble. - Yeah, go for it.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50- So, we are going with the bonus buy? - Yeah, we're going to go for it.- OK.
0:39:50 > 0:39:55Now you've made your choice, I can tell you what the auctioneer's estimate is. £80-£100.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59- No way!- Yes.- My goodness.- And you've made your decision.- Yeah.
0:39:59 > 0:40:04- Yeah.- One for one and all for all. We are going with the bonus buy and here it comes.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06This is wonderful.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09If it could talk, what could it tell us?
0:40:09 > 0:40:11There are even sweat marks under the arms!
0:40:13 > 0:40:16And to me, that is a love of history.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19It has really lived, and there it is.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22- This is historical.- It stinks.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25- I hear 25? 35? 40?- Look at this! - Ooh!
0:40:25 > 0:40:28Do I see five there? It's a jolly good lot.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32- 45? 50?- Come on, yes!- 60? 5. 70...
0:40:32 > 0:40:3775, 80 I'm bid. 90, I'm out. 90, I'm out.
0:40:37 > 0:40:42- Online, do I say 100 now?- Come on, come on!- 90 I am bid, asking 100 now.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45- Fair warning... I shall sell this lot, make no mistake.- Look at this.
0:40:45 > 0:40:50On the front row, madam, with you. And we sell at £90.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53And I shall say going, at £90 and gone at £90.
0:40:53 > 0:40:58Well done, Charles. That man is a genius, isn't he?
0:40:58 > 0:41:00OK, so that's plus £70.
0:41:00 > 0:41:05Excuse me. Plus £70. You were minus £2.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08You are now plus 68. Listen, that could be a winning score.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10I knew this was going to be an exciting finish.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13- Could be a winning score, so don't say a word to the Reds, OK?- OK.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16- Well done, David.- Thank you. - Splendid job. Thank you very much.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19- Thank you.- And all will be revealed in a moment. Thank you.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22Double, I am bid. I am asking 80 now. Come on.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24You are all out to a lady.
0:41:24 > 0:41:2570, I'm...
0:41:31 > 0:41:34- Ooh, I say. Haven't we had a good time today?- We have.
0:41:34 > 0:41:38- Two teams, stuffed with profit.- Oh!
0:41:38 > 0:41:43- You see!- They haven't been chatting to one another, so they don't know nothing!
0:41:43 > 0:41:44- Right?- Right!
0:41:44 > 0:41:49You also don't know that there is only £10 between the teams.
0:41:51 > 0:41:52Oh, I hate that, I hate it.
0:41:52 > 0:41:56Double lot of profits and only £10 in between. How good is this?
0:41:56 > 0:42:01Anyway, we can only have one team of winners and one team of runners-up.
0:42:01 > 0:42:06- And the runners-up today, I'm afraid to say, are the Blues.- Oh!
0:42:08 > 0:42:15Which is bad luck, sisters. But you are still going to take home £68.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18- Very good.- How about that?- Thank you very much. Lovely.- There is 65, look.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21And here is your three. £68.
0:42:21 > 0:42:26The supremo profit to beat all supremo profits was from
0:42:26 > 0:42:29David Harper, which was £70 worth of profit on that frock coat.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32- Which was pretty good going, wasn't it?- It was. Well done.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35So you are the hero, David. Well done.
0:42:35 > 0:42:40- But the victors, who go home with £78, two best mates.- Thank you.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43They got £68 and then they got a tenner from Catherine's
0:42:43 > 0:42:48bargain Bergman bronze. All the Bs. So congratulations for that.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51You got a profit on all three of your items,
0:42:51 > 0:42:55which means that you get a golden gavel pin. Sarah, take that. Thank you.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58- Thank you.- Victoria? - Thank you.- You lovely thing.
0:42:58 > 0:43:02And there you go, Catherine, to go with your collection. Very good.
