0:00:07 > 0:00:09Here's some useless information for you.
0:00:09 > 0:00:14Anagrams of Bargain Hunt include a burning hat,
0:00:14 > 0:00:18rain bang heart and haunting bra.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21- HE CHUCKLES - Well, this phrase doesn't need
0:00:21 > 0:00:25mucking about with, though - let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Well, I'm not going to mince my words today.
0:00:51 > 0:00:56No chat about haunting bras and burning hats. Oh, no.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Let's have a sneaky peek, though, as to what's coming up.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05- The Reds are on a roll. - The wheel of...
0:01:05 > 0:01:06ALL: Fortune!
0:01:08 > 0:01:11But will it be the Blues who end up grinning like Cheshire cats?
0:01:11 > 0:01:14That one looks like you, Tony, and this one looks like me, doesn't it?
0:01:14 > 0:01:16- KATE LAUGHS - What a pair.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18So, let's meet our teams.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Today, we have some supreme teams on Bargain Hunt.
0:01:23 > 0:01:28For the Reds, we have the terrific sisters Tracy and Trish.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Thank you very much. And old chums John and Tony for the Blues.
0:01:32 > 0:01:37Now, Tracy, I know that some sisters can have close relationships,
0:01:37 > 0:01:40but you've had a particularly close time with your sis, haven't you?
0:01:40 > 0:01:44I have. My sister delivered my eldest daughter, Melissa.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Well, that's amazing, isn't it? How did that come about?
0:01:47 > 0:01:48She's a midwife!
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Thank goodness for that.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- No, seriously. - Trisha had just qualified.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58I was poorly and she was there and she popped me in the car,
0:01:58 > 0:02:00took me though to Chester and as it happened,
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Melissa was ready to arrive. And Trisha didn't leave my side,
0:02:03 > 0:02:05- she was there through it all. - Well, isn't that lovely?- Yes.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Now, you're hardly the shy and retiring type, are you, Trace?
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- I do lots of panto.- Do you? - Lots of panto. I love panto.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14I've done it for the last 13 years.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- And I'm always the dame. - Give us a slap on your thigh, then.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- Oh, yes, you do!- Oh, yes, I do!
0:02:20 > 0:02:21Oh, no, you don't!
0:02:21 > 0:02:23- It's behind you!- Exactly.
0:02:23 > 0:02:28So, what is your rendition of No-one Loves A Fairy When They're 40?
0:02:28 > 0:02:31That was a very special moment I also shared with my sister.
0:02:31 > 0:02:36And we performed a ballet to Nobody Loves A Fairy When She's 40.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Can you sing the tune to that? Can you remember the words?
0:02:38 > 0:02:40- You have to join in.- Oh, I'm sorry. - Come on!
0:02:40 > 0:02:44# Nobody loves a fairy when she's 40
0:02:44 > 0:02:48# Nobody loves a fairy when she's old
0:02:48 > 0:02:53# Your fairy days are ending when your wand has started bending
0:02:53 > 0:02:56# No-one loves a fairy when she's old. #
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Look at that, girls.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02You certainly aren't retiring, you two. That's absolutely brilliant.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03If we could remember it.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06I was going to say, Trish, that you're something of a performer,
0:03:06 > 0:03:08but you've clearly proved that.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Now, what do you to know about antiques and collectables?
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Not very much at all.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Although my sister did buy me when I qualified as a midwife
0:03:16 > 0:03:18a lovely silver belt buckle from 1902
0:03:18 > 0:03:21which just happened to be the first Midwives Act.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22Well, isn't that marvellous?
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- So, you got your collectable from that moment.- That's the one.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27What sort of things are you going to go for today, do you think?
0:03:27 > 0:03:30- We're thinking silver. - Useful. Animal.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Mm-hm. Useful animal?
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- Or something that is useful and it's an animal and it's silver.- Oh, I see.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37So, we've got three collectors.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39- But no dead animals, at least. - No, no dead animals.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41OK, fine. Lovely.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42You are a right pair, you two,
0:03:42 > 0:03:45and we are going to have so much fun, which is lovely.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Now, John, you're great friends. How did you meet?
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Well, when my boys were little, I went to the local bouncy castle
0:03:52 > 0:03:55in the local civic centre and I was kneeling there
0:03:55 > 0:03:57trying to stop the children from falling off the bouncy castle
0:03:57 > 0:04:00and I started chatting to this guy beside me,
0:04:00 > 0:04:03and it turned out that we were both airline pilots.
0:04:03 > 0:04:04- No.- Yes. So we have something in common.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06We lived just round the corner from each other.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08- That's extraordinary, isn't it? - Yeah.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Two airline pilots outside a bouncy castle said hello
0:04:11 > 0:04:12while looking after their nippers.
0:04:12 > 0:04:13I think that's amazing.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17But, Tony, you always knew that flying would be for you, right?
0:04:17 > 0:04:20When I was a little boy and I was joining my dad who worked abroad,
0:04:20 > 0:04:23we went in an old Argonaut, it was called.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25And during the flight in those days,
0:04:25 > 0:04:27you could be invited up to the flight deck
0:04:27 > 0:04:31and I was invited up during the night-time and when I went in there,
0:04:31 > 0:04:32to me it was just magic.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34- All those switches to fiddle with? - Yeah, absolutely.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- A man's delight, really.- You never looked back. That's brilliant.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Now, what do you two chaps know about antiques? Anything?
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- No, nothing.- You collect old cars, don't you, Tony?
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- Oh.- Well, junk cars. - More just by default, yeah.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48I've got an MGA at home which I'm doing up. Slowly.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50- How long have you been doing it up for?- 14 years.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53I say no more. Anyway, I think the money moment.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56£300 a piece. Here is your £300, £300.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00You know the rules. Your experts await, and off you go!
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Gosh, this lot are terrific!
0:05:05 > 0:05:10Giving us a twirl for the Reds today is Christina Trevanion.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14And at the helm for the Blues, it is Kate Bliss.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16What are you going to be looking at, John?
0:05:16 > 0:05:18I think it would be good to try and find things
0:05:18 > 0:05:19that are still useful today.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- Well, I think I would like to find something that is silver.- Yeah.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24- And small.- OK.- And practical.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- Practical, definitely.- Right, OK.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27I'll be honest, I haven't got a clue.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31I'm just going to see what takes my fancy and that's it.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Do you know, sometimes that's the best way. Let's head down there.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35Something decorative.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Something decorative, something quirky, something silver.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40- We're going to be here all day. - SISTERS GIGGLE
0:05:40 > 0:05:41We've only got an hour. Let's get inside.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Right, teams, your 60 minutes starts now!
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Out of small acorns, great oak trees grow.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51- They can catch up! - THEY ALL GIGGLE
0:05:51 > 0:05:53We're going over there.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55The Reds are off to a running start.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58But hang on, everything stops for tea.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59- Is this a Shelley one?- No.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02It's an orange tree pattern, isn't it? Grosvenor China.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Weddings, at the moment, are very much into that quite sort of quaint
0:06:05 > 0:06:07- and chintz and all that sort of thing.- Yes.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09So people are buying tea services again,
0:06:09 > 0:06:11whereas they weren't sort of 12 months ago
0:06:11 > 0:06:14when it was slightly in the doldrums. But very pretty.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16But we have literally just walked in the door.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18That's true. I was looking at those handbags. They're unusual.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21We're not here for you, we're here for Bargain Hunt.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26I think Christina will have her work cut out with these two.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Meanwhile, the Blues are on their bike and motoring.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- That's a Vespa, isn't it? - A vesta.- A vesta?
0:06:32 > 0:06:33A vesta, not a Vespa.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Oh! Oh, yeah, because that's a little scooter, isn't it?
0:06:36 > 0:06:42But, yes. After vesta matches, Vesta was the goddess of the hearth,
0:06:42 > 0:06:45hence the name for matches to light a fire.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47My father used to collect those.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49He had a whole display case full and when he died,
0:06:49 > 0:06:51- I inherited one of the ones that he's got.- Oh, did you?
0:06:51 > 0:06:55- Oh, lovely.- Again, do they sell well, this kind of thing?
0:06:55 > 0:06:56They are still collectable.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00This is a fairly average example - rectangular in shape,
0:07:00 > 0:07:03it looks as if it's sort of late Victorian, Edwardian.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- Little bit dented. - It's a bit squashed, yeah.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09The ones that make the most money are the unusual shapes,
0:07:09 > 0:07:11the novelty shapes.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13- That one is a pretty standard one. - Pretty standard.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14Good idea, though.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16- We'll maybe see something better. - Yeah.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20Not exactly firing your imagination, then, Blues.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22So, how are the Reds getting on?
0:07:22 > 0:07:23Let's have a little look.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Hmm, that is quite sweet, isn't it?
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Yes, it's very prettily done.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- What year would that be? - Nice little silver filigree frame.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Well, it looks quite early 20th century
0:07:33 > 0:07:36and we've got a nice little mark on the back there,
0:07:36 > 0:07:37but not British hallmarked.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Very sweet, quite sentimental.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43Obviously a little girl saying her prayers in the evening.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47At £80, for me, at auction it would be maybe £30-£50, £40-£60.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Right, right.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Very, very sweet. And if you love it...
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- Well, can we keep that in stock? - Keep it in mind, yeah.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- Keep it in mind. - Let's pop it back in there.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58That's another item on the back burner for the Reds.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02Meanwhile, Kate has found something small, cute and girlie.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Should be just right for our two big, burly lads, then.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08- What do you think of that? - What is it?
0:08:08 > 0:08:10- What's it made of? - Well, it's gilt metal.
0:08:10 > 0:08:15- If you open it up, you can see, it's actually a compact.- Yeah.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17For a lady. Press the little button here.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19- That's rather cute, isn't it?- OK?
0:08:19 > 0:08:22But the nice thing about it is this compartment here.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24If we pull up that button...
0:08:24 > 0:08:28COMPACT TINKLES A TUNE
0:08:28 > 0:08:30- Now, that's lovely. All in working order.- Yeah.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31That's quite cute, isn't it?
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- I'll press the button back down. - It comes with instructions.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- I'm just looking. Can you see there's something here?- Oh, yes.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40And I'm just going to see if we've got a good name.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42We've got Agme, I think.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46There are leading names in compacts, like KIGU, for instance.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49And there are a lot of collectors of musical compacts.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51What do you think, Tony?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53I mean, it's not really a gent's piece, is it?
0:08:53 > 0:08:55No. But I like it.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Not quite sure it's the one.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58JOHN AND TONY CHUCKLE
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- What sort of age would you say that is?- 1950s.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- Hmm.- Yeah, it looks very '50s.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05It is in immaculate condition.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- Yeah.- That is nice. A lot of it's down to the price, isn't it?- Mm.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10What is your very, very best?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12£22, £22.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15I think it's got potential, and the reason I think it's got potential
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- is it is an immaculate example. - Yeah.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21And with the instructions, does that help?
0:09:21 > 0:09:22Well, yes, it shows that it's...
0:09:22 > 0:09:24- It doesn't look like it's been used. - Yeah.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26I mean, even the powder is in good condition.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29We'd have it for £20 and we can carry on looking for something else,
0:09:29 > 0:09:30so it's up to you, really.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36OK. Thanks very much. That'll do.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- Thank you very much. That's super. - Thank you.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- You have done this before, John. - It's the Shanghai market.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44- I go there quite often. - Is that right?
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Is that where you learnt your skills?
0:09:46 > 0:09:48I was disappointed. That was far too much, but, you know.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- Well done. Excellent.- There's always a better price, isn't there?
0:09:51 > 0:09:52- First buy.- Thank you. That's for us.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Well, John certainly knows how to drive a hard bargain.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58That's one down for the Blues.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Back with the Reds, they've found something pretty in pink.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06That's lovely. That would appeal to people.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09We have got a bit of damage on there.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11But I've had a good look at the store stones
0:10:11 > 0:10:13and we can actually see some trapped air bubbles in there.
0:10:13 > 0:10:14At the turn of the 20th century,
0:10:14 > 0:10:17people were wearing these in amethysts.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20And amethysts, obviously, as a semiprecious stone,
0:10:20 > 0:10:23is quite expensive to buy, so they reproduced it in paste,
0:10:23 > 0:10:25which is effectively a glass.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Which is why when we see the air bubbles in there,
0:10:27 > 0:10:29rather than them being naturally formed inclusions,
0:10:29 > 0:10:31it's gas from when paste was formed.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- But I still think that's quite sweet.- What year is that?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36I'd say that is properly 1910.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37- What did you have on it?- £12.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40- I think that seriously could be something to look at.- Oh, right, OK.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43- Because I think that's very wearable.- Rights, yes.- OK.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47- These in amethysts go for hundreds of pounds.- Right.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50If you try it on... Let's have a look, see what it looks like.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- Do you see how beautiful that looks? - It's very pretty.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56If you had that, what would you say for sale?
0:10:56 > 0:10:59If you were putting that up for sale?
0:10:59 > 0:11:01- SHE WHISPERS - I would say £30-£50.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03- OK.- We'll take that.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- Shall we take that one? - I think we'll take that one.
0:11:08 > 0:11:09We'll have a go with that, yes.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11- So, what was your price?- £12.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12- £12.- That's the best I can do.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- That's your absolute best price, £12?- Yeah.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Ladies, I think he's giving you a very fair price.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20I think it's a beautiful thing. You're modelling it beautifully.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21- Thank you.- No problem.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23But you do have to model it during the sale now.
0:11:23 > 0:11:24That's absolutely fine.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27We'll shake your hand and say thank you ever so much. Thank you.
0:11:27 > 0:11:28Well, I'll look forward to that.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30If something catches your eye at an antiques fair,
0:11:30 > 0:11:33it is always worth taking a closer look.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35And that's exactly what I've been doing.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Do you fancy a bit of silver?
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Well, a lot of people do in these fairs
0:11:40 > 0:11:45and there are lot of stands selling small silver items.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Now, if you take this piece,
0:11:47 > 0:11:52it happens to come from the top of its tree of its period.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56Up one end, we've got, stuck in a crevice, a pencil.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Actually, it's not the right pencil for this set,
0:12:01 > 0:12:03but it's an interesting pencil.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05It's got a silver sleeve and a slide.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Press the button and a pencil appears.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12And it's got a little hanging terminal on the end
0:12:12 > 0:12:16so that you can attach it to your waistcoat chain.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19And it is a sleeve that was made by Mordan & Co,
0:12:19 > 0:12:23who are famous London makers of writing accoutrements.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26And it's hallmarked Chester, 1912.
0:12:26 > 0:12:31The outside surface is covered in a sort of engraved decoration,
0:12:31 > 0:12:33which is called engine turning.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35A solid lump of silver goes into a machine
0:12:35 > 0:12:39and it cuts the surface and gives it a jolly appearance.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43If I removed the pencil from its crevice down one end,
0:12:43 > 0:12:48you can see that the silver flap pops up and that, in turn,
0:12:48 > 0:12:53protects a pad of paper, effectively a notebooked pad,
0:12:53 > 0:12:59that would otherwise be kept on a desk underneath the sprung flap.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02It's a luxury product that was produced in London
0:13:02 > 0:13:06and hallmarked in 1925 by a luxury firm.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10And if I turn it over, on the original green leather base,
0:13:10 > 0:13:12you can see the name of that firm impressed,
0:13:12 > 0:13:15which is Asprey's, London.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18And would be the sort of thing on it's on today
0:13:18 > 0:13:23that I would reckon would retail at about £250.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27What would it cost you with the pencil in a fair like this?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29It could be yours for £100.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33And as the pencil's worth £25,
0:13:33 > 0:13:36that means that the Asprey's notebook holder
0:13:36 > 0:13:38would only cost you £75.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41And that is worthwhile writing home about.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46Back with the teams, and the Reds are shopping by numbers.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48- Something quirky.- Quirky.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50This is cool. Look at this. What's this?
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- Oh, my goodness, is that a letter set?- Yeah.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55- £38.- £38? £28? I don't know.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Those are quite fun though, aren't they?
0:13:57 > 0:13:59I mean, vintage things are very in vogue right now.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02We've got Percy Leslie, 14 Church Street, near Liverpool.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04- Oh!- Near Liverpool! You're not from Liverpool, are you?
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Cheshire, but it's next to Wirral, which is next to Liverpool.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10- OK, so that's almost tenuous enough, isn't it?- Yeah, yeah.
0:14:10 > 0:14:11We're close enough.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13What do you think of those? Those are quite fun.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15If somebody is doing that sort of craft,
0:14:15 > 0:14:18they can buy them for a lot less than that, can't they?
0:14:18 > 0:14:22But the can't have the antiquity that goes with them.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26- So, what age?- They've had love, they've had use.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27- Do you like them?- Um...- No.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31No, right. Put them down, put them down, put them down.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34We haven't got time to faff around. Fine.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Oh, there's a horseshoe, there's a horseshoe!
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Good luck with those two, Christina.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Meanwhile, Kate is thinking strategically.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43Guys, come and have a look at this.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45I'm not suggesting we should buy this
0:14:45 > 0:14:47because if you look at the gilt, it's very rubbed,
0:14:47 > 0:14:52but this is 18th-century and Worcester.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Now, the saleroom we're going to specialises in Worcester porcelain,
0:14:55 > 0:14:59so something like that in good condition might go quite well.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01So keep your eyes peeled.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04The condition seems to be the important thing, really, doesn't it?
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Yeah, absolutely. Let's go out.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10Condition is the key. Clever thinking, Kate.
0:15:10 > 0:15:11- Ah!- Look at that.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14- That, now I like that. - That's very sweet.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16I'd like it. What is it? Is it a pincushion?
0:15:16 > 0:15:19It is a little pin cushion, and it wouldn't be surprised
0:15:19 > 0:15:20if that was by Samson Mordan,
0:15:20 > 0:15:24who was very famous for making all these little pincushions.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28He made elephants, he made pigs, he made chicks, all sorts.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32Some are rarer than others. This is a little Easter chick here.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36Yeah, so, Samson Mordan, SM, Chester hallmark. Very sweet.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39- It is lovely but very expensive. - £140.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41- Yeah, that is half your budget.- Yes.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43What would your best on that one be, my love?
0:15:43 > 0:15:45- Oh, she is consulting the Bible. - Oh, oh.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47I'm looking at the Bible.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49- £120, the chick.- £120, the chick. - TRISHA SIGHS
0:15:50 > 0:15:55- Oh, it's so cute.- It is cute, but, Trisha, we said not over £100.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57- It is beautiful. - Is that what you said?
0:15:57 > 0:16:00- £120 is top end at auction, isn't it?- Right.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04- But I still think it's a very sweet thing.- What do you think?
0:16:04 > 0:16:05You're the expert.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07I think it could make you a little bit of money.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10They just have eternal appeal because they're very pretty.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12- But it is top end, price-wise. - It's a deal!
0:16:12 > 0:16:16It's £20 over what we said, but shall we go for it?
0:16:16 > 0:16:18What did you say? You said that you weren't going to spend...
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Anything over £100.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22The thing is, we've got £300. We may as well...
0:16:22 > 0:16:24I mean, when do you get the opportunity
0:16:24 > 0:16:26to get some going, "Here's £300. Spend it"?
0:16:26 > 0:16:27- Go on, then.- Go for it.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- Shall we do it?- Yes, go for it.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Ah! Brilliant.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35- Right, let's do it. Thank you very much.- We'll have the chick, please.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Spend, spend, spend, girls!
0:16:37 > 0:16:40But quality over quantity is always good, too.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Let's hope the bidders think the same way
0:16:42 > 0:16:44when it hits the auction room.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Over halfway on the clock and the Blues have two items to buy.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- It's hard, isn't it? - It's really hard.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57The Reds need just one more item so they'd better get sniffing about.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01We spent £12 and now we spent £120, so £132,
0:17:01 > 0:17:03so we've got a good, serious slice of money left.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Don't worry about leaving me any money.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08I can do something with a pound. Don't you worry about me.
0:17:08 > 0:17:09Oh, now, there's the challenge.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- You said it.- Why did I say that? Why did I say that?- You said it.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- So, if we're going quirky, let's go in here.- OK.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20Now, talking about vestas, and your father had a collection,
0:17:20 > 0:17:21there's quite a few in here.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23That's a nice one, that one, yeah.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Quite nice because it's got a little bit of shaping to it
0:17:26 > 0:17:29and it's also a good weight.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Pretty good condition.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35It's a Chester hallmark, which is a little bit more unusual as well.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38So it's got quite a few things in its favour.
0:17:38 > 0:17:39So, what sort of age is that?
0:17:39 > 0:17:43Let's have a look. The hallmark is 1905.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47I would say for your average silver vesta at auction,
0:17:47 > 0:17:51you're going to be looking at anything between £15, £20
0:17:51 > 0:17:53to sort of £40, £50.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56That is a particularly nice one and it is quite heavy,
0:17:56 > 0:17:58but we've got a price there of £85.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00- What you think, Tony? - I like it, yes.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03I don't know anything about vestas, but I like it.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- There's a lot of them about, isn't there?- There are a lot of them about.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07- As we've seen here.- Mm.
0:18:07 > 0:18:08So we've got to get the right price
0:18:08 > 0:18:10- if we're going to make any profit on it.- Hmm.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13But it's nice to go for a little bit more of an unusual example.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- Yes, definitely.- Yes. - But £85 is...
0:18:16 > 0:18:19It's too expensive, isn't it? But I do like the example, yeah.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22I'd probably put £40-£60 as an estimate, so it's...
0:18:22 > 0:18:26So, any more than £50 and it just wouldn't be really worth getting.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29What is the absolute best, madam? Just for us.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32£65, and that is the very best.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34All right. That's really kind, thank you.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37£65 is the price, fellas. What do you think?
0:18:37 > 0:18:40I'm just conscious we've only got about 20 minutes.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42It's got quite a bit going for it.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45I think we'll go for it, shall we, Tony? What do you think?
0:18:45 > 0:18:47- Yeah. We'll go for it? - Shall we?- We'll go for it, Kate.
0:18:47 > 0:18:48- Shall we have a gamble?- Yeah.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50- Yeah?- You're the expert.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53It's a really nice example, and for £65 for a collector,
0:18:53 > 0:18:54it's not expensive.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56- Happy?- Yeah, we'll go for it. - Great, we'll do it.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- Thank you very much, madam. That's super.- Thank you.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Cor, strike a light. That's two items down for the Blues.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Now, how are the Reds getting on?
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Have we got time to go and have another look?
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Do you want to go back? Cos we're in the third shed.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Do you want to go right up to the first shed?
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- Got to be quick.- We have to be quick, yes. Come on. We're running.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- Out we go.- Hey, there's a lot of giggling going on.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- This is not possible in the cockpit, is it?- Uh...
0:19:21 > 0:19:24- What?!- No, very serious in the cockpit.- Very serious in the cockpit.
0:19:24 > 0:19:25- Always. - Anyway, how many have you bought?
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- Well, we're flying high. Two in the bag.- You never have.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30- One to go. - And how much time have you got?
0:19:30 > 0:19:33- About 20 minutes, I reckon. - About 20 minutes.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36About the average time it takes to taxi out, I'd say.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38- Yes, if you're lucky. - Absolutely spot on. To the second.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Thank you very much. Anyway, good luck, chaps.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42- Thank you.- Thanks very much. - Gung ho.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- What's that?- A wheel. - Oh, a cartwheel.- Yes.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Blimey, well, you couldn't get more quirky than that.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Do you really want to buy a wheel?
0:19:52 > 0:19:54- Well...- It's very quirky.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- I mean...- Great for a pub called The Wheel of Fortune.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03- The Wheel Arms. - The Wheel Arms, there we go.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04- And what would you use that for? - £95.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08I'd come down to £70.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- £70.- People use them as garden ornaments.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14- People plant herbs in them now, don't they?- Yes, like a herb garden.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16And they sort of put different herbs in.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Yes, lie them down and then plant different herbs.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22So You'd lie it down like that and then you'd have your mint
0:20:22 > 0:20:25and your oregano and your basil and your thyme and whatever.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27So it would keep them sort of vaguely contained.
0:20:27 > 0:20:28So people are buying them.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Shall we just have a look for a wheelbarrow.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- We are running out of time. - Let's put this backup, then.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35- Are you sure?- Yes, yes. - You don't want a wheel?
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- Well, I've still got six minutes to look.- 16.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42No, six minutes to look in there and then that ten minutes...
0:20:42 > 0:20:44- I'm going to give you a deadline, OK?- Yes.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Six minutes and then ten minutes, because we've got the tea set
0:20:47 > 0:20:49and the printing block things waiting for us, potentially.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50Yes, OK.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- You've got six minutes. - And we've got the wheel.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55And the wheel of...
0:20:55 > 0:20:57- ALL:- Fortune!
0:20:57 > 0:20:58Let's go.
0:20:58 > 0:20:59Right, six minutes in here.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03Yep, be wheely quick now, girls.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Right, I reckon round there, yes?
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Meanwhile, the Blues have rolled up at the same stall
0:21:07 > 0:21:11and spotted something that could be a roaring success.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14- I think they're rather fab, aren't they?- I like them, yeah.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16I don't know if we'll get £80 for them.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18- But I do like them.- What are they made of? Are they wooden?
0:21:18 > 0:21:19Yeah, they're wooden, carved.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21I don't know how told they are, though.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24I would have thought they're probably sort of '60s,
0:21:24 > 0:21:25- looking at the style of them. - Hmm, yes.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- Can I...? Is that all right? - Yes, of course it is, yes.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29Mind behind you, Tony.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Are you looking for maker's name on the bottom, are you, Tony?
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- I'm just wondering what is on the bottom.- Good man. Let's have a look.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37- You can often tell the age from the bottom.- Just charred, I think.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Yeah. That tells me they're not very old.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42They've been sort of blackened, yeah.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46- But, you know, does that matter? They are quirky.- Yeah.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Where you going to see another pair? That's for sure.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52- But how much market have they got? Who's going to buy them?- Hmm.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56- What is your rock bottom for the two?- £55.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Help out a little bit.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00They could make £60 or they could make a tenner.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03- Ten pounds.- Exactly. - It's one of those.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05- But the thing is... - Can we have a little think about it?
0:22:05 > 0:22:09- Let's come back.- We haven't got time to come back, I don't think, Tony.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Unless there's anything else. We're literally... Time is ticking.
0:22:12 > 0:22:13Oh, right. OK.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18It's a gamble, isn't it? It's a bit of a gamble.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- £50 for the two.- Yes.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Come on, guys. We need a quick decision.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25And that goes for the Reds, too.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- Have you still got the stamps?- Yeah, they're still down at the front.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29Brilliant. There we go.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31- Can I get them?- You can indeed. - Thank you.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35- We need the absolute best price. - Best price.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37The absolute best I could do is £22.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39I did pay quite a bit for them, so, yeah.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- What you think? I think so. - Yes, we're buying them.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43Oh, right!
0:22:43 > 0:22:45- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47- ALL:- Yay!
0:22:47 > 0:22:48Well done!
0:22:48 > 0:22:49Steady, girls.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51So, with just minutes left,
0:22:51 > 0:22:55it's time to find out how the Blues are feline about those big cats.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58That one looks like you, Tony, and this one looks like me, doesn't it?
0:22:58 > 0:23:00- KATE LAUGHS - What a pair.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01I'm just conscious, time is...
0:23:01 > 0:23:05- We must be positive and go for it. - What is your gut feeling, Tony?
0:23:05 > 0:23:07I think they'll make £50, so that's where I stand on it.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09- What should you think?- Yeah, why not, eh? Let's go for it.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11- In for a penny, in for a pound? - Yeah.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13And it's unusual, it's different.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16I'm going to be really cheeky. £45, just to give us a hand.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Go on, £45.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20- £48.- £48?- Yes.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22That's just bringing it under the £50, then.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25- We might make two quid. - We'll make two quid on that.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27- What do you think? - Go for it. Why not?
0:23:27 > 0:23:29- Done.- Yes?- £48.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32- Thanks for being so good to us. - Thanks very much.
0:23:32 > 0:23:33- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Off your bike, then, teams, cos time's up.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38I'm dying to know what happens.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42- Ooh! Don't know.- We've done it! - We've done it!
0:23:42 > 0:23:44- We've done it!- Yes! - For better or for worse.- Yeah.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46- That's fantastic.- That's great.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48- She says! - UNENTHUSIASTICALLY:- That's great.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49It's just bizarre.
0:23:50 > 0:23:51What have we done?
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Let's remind ourselves what the teams bought.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00The Reds couldn't resist the Edwardian necklace for £12.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06They're pinning big hopes on the tiny pincushion,
0:24:06 > 0:24:08which cost them £120.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11And they're hoping to make a big impression
0:24:11 > 0:24:14with the retro printing set at £22.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Look at these sisters out in the sunshine!
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Now, Tracy, which is your favourite piece?
0:24:21 > 0:24:23It's got to be the little chick.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25- The chick is your favourite?- Yes.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27- Do you agree, Trish?- Absolutely.
0:24:27 > 0:24:28Little chick, it's gorgeous.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32Is the chick going to bring the biggest profit?
0:24:32 > 0:24:33Maybe not.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35Well, what is, then, Trish?
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Definitely the stampers.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38- Do you think?- Yes.- Yes.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41- And you agree with that, do you, Trace?- I think so, yes.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44- All right, fine. And how much did you spend in total?- £154.
0:24:44 > 0:24:49£154. I'd like £146, thank you very much.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50£146.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- £146 goes straight over.- Thank you.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Now, Christina, have you got a plan?
0:24:55 > 0:24:58I think my ladies are very bright, very giggly, very girlie,
0:24:58 > 0:25:00so we might go bright and giggly and girlie.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02- If it's profitable. - If it's profitable.- Yes.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04That's what we want. Anyway, good luck with that.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:25:07 > 0:25:11The Blues got in touch with their feminine side
0:25:11 > 0:25:14and bought a lady's musical compact case for £20.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19In a flash of inspiration, they bought a silver vesta case for £65.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24And finally, they spotted two wooden leopards,
0:25:24 > 0:25:26which they snapped up for £48.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Well, chaps, how lovely, eh? Was it good fun?
0:25:31 > 0:25:33- It was great.- It was fantastic fun. - Yeah, very good.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Now, how much did you spend, you boys?
0:25:35 > 0:25:38- £133, it was.- Was that what it was?
0:25:38 > 0:25:39- Yes.- OK, Tony, £133.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43So, I want £167 of leftover lolly, please.
0:25:43 > 0:25:44Thank you.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Now, I have to ask you, which is your favourite piece?
0:25:46 > 0:25:50Well, I think the cats at the end, the pair of very tall wooden cats.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53- Yeah, lovely. - I think the same, the cats.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55They'll either do really well or really badly,
0:25:55 > 0:25:57- but they're my favourite piece. - They are your favourite?
0:25:57 > 0:26:01So, what will, do you think, do best? What is your prediction?
0:26:01 > 0:26:03I think the compact will do best because you've got a compact
0:26:03 > 0:26:06and a music box, so there's two functions to it.
0:26:06 > 0:26:07Very good. Do you agree with that?
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Yeah, and it's in perfect condition.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12It's absolutely gorgeous. Made in Switzerland, good Swiss action.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15I never saw you two guys in the compact business particularly.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17- No, no.- But there you go.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19It just shows, you never know what's going to grab you, right?
0:26:19 > 0:26:21We're not buying for us. TIM LAUGHS
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Buying for John.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Exactly. This is it.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27- There's the cash.- Lovely. - How lovely is that?
0:26:27 > 0:26:30- Great.- Are you happy with that? - I am more than happy with that.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Have you any idea, Kate Bliss, what you're going to find?
0:26:33 > 0:26:37I have an inkling, and hopefully it's going to fly.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- JOHN AND TONY GROAN - Oh, no, not another pun.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Oh, good. Anyway, good luck with that.
0:26:42 > 0:26:43Good luck, chaps.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Meanwhile, we're heading off smartish, to the auction.
0:26:46 > 0:26:47How lovely.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57Well, we've come down some windy roads and streets to Malvern
0:26:57 > 0:26:59to be with my mate, my old mucker, Philip Serrell.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01- How are you old friend? - Lovely to see you, Tim.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- Very good. Very kind of you to have us again.- Lovely to have you.
0:27:04 > 0:27:05Now, Tracy and Trisha,
0:27:05 > 0:27:09their first object is this paste little necklace.
0:27:09 > 0:27:10They paid the £12 for it.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14It has to be one of the least spectacular looking
0:27:14 > 0:27:15pieces of jewellery
0:27:15 > 0:27:18that could possibly have been brought into you saleroom.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20- Are you going to be able to sell it? - We'll sell it.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24I mean, we sort of put a five to ten pound estimate on it, but, you know,
0:27:24 > 0:27:26they can't lose more than 12 quid, can they?
0:27:26 > 0:27:28No, they can't, and that is no doubt the strategy -
0:27:28 > 0:27:30to spend a small amount of money.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Anyway, that we are. Five to ten pounds you've got,
0:27:32 > 0:27:34- £12 they paid for it.- Yeah. - Next is the little chick.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36That's lovely. TIM CHUCKLES
0:27:36 > 0:27:38You like a bit of Samson Mordan, don't you?
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Yeah, the chick's a chick, but the only thing for me
0:27:40 > 0:27:43is that I think it's a sort of £60-£90 chick.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45I don't know what they paid for it.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48- Well, it's not a double yolker, put it like that.- No, it is not.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50- Cos they paid £120. - Oh! That's a goose egg, that is.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52It is a goose egg, isn't it? Well, it's just too much.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Now, some of those bigger ones,
0:27:54 > 0:27:56the little Jenny wrens that people really love,
0:27:56 > 0:27:59like that but twice the size, might make £100-£150, mightn't they?
0:27:59 > 0:28:03- But for a little one?- I don't see it breaking the three-figure barrier.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05- So, that could be their problemo. - Yes.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07And lastly, they've got the printing set.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10- Sadly, I love that.- It's slightly back-to-school, isn't it?
0:28:10 > 0:28:13I know. Well, I didn't pay enough attention when I was there.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16- It was a long time ago, Tim. - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Anyway, it's old money, that's for a fact.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20But I think that will make over 20 quid.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22- Do you?- Yeah, I do. Really I do. - What is your estimate, then?
0:28:22 > 0:28:24- £15-£30.- Bit of a come-on.- Yes.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26OK, well, what's going to let them down is that little chick.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28And they're going to need their bonus buy,
0:28:28 > 0:28:30so let's go and have a look at it.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34- Well, team, this is exciting, isn't it?- Yes.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36You two giggling sisters. OK, fine.
0:28:36 > 0:28:41Now, you spent £154, you gave 'er indoors £146.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45- What did you spend it on?- I think I might have gone a little bit crazy.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47- THE GIRLS LAUGH - Shall we just show
0:28:47 > 0:28:49- the extent of the craziness?- Yes.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51OK, fine. Here we go.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53It's over here, it's your surprise!
0:28:53 > 0:28:54And there you have it!
0:28:56 > 0:28:59It's Bulgarian dog cart.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Did you put the dog in it or does the dog pull it?
0:29:03 > 0:29:05- Well, the dog pulls it. - It's optional.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08I'm not sure a dog has ever pulled it.
0:29:08 > 0:29:13I think, to be honest, now it's a sort of fun, novelty, lovely thing
0:29:13 > 0:29:15that you would put in the garden and plant up.
0:29:15 > 0:29:16- Plants.- Is it not, Tim?
0:29:16 > 0:29:19And if you happen to want to take it on the road,
0:29:19 > 0:29:22one additional feature which you haven't spotted
0:29:22 > 0:29:24is the reflector screwed on the tail board
0:29:24 > 0:29:27so that anybody with headlights coming up behind you...
0:29:27 > 0:29:30This is European health and safety compliant!
0:29:30 > 0:29:33And it's a 21st century. There we go.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35OK, there we've got it.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37The big old question is, Trish...
0:29:37 > 0:29:39- How much was it?- Ask her.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41How much was it?
0:29:41 > 0:29:43I think it was about £120.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46- Oh!- £120 is right!- I went mad!
0:29:46 > 0:29:49It's you, it's you!
0:29:49 > 0:29:52- Let me just...- There is no defence for my behaviour.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55Let's just think about this one minute.
0:29:55 > 0:29:56You don't pick now, girls.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59- You pick after the sale of your first three items.- OK.- OK.
0:29:59 > 0:30:03But right now, for the benefit of the audience at home,
0:30:03 > 0:30:05let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about the dog cart.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07This will be interesting.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12- Well, that's a handsome vehicle, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14I think it might have travelled across some water to get here cos
0:30:14 > 0:30:17I think it's probably, I don't know, Romanian or something, isn't it?
0:30:17 > 0:30:21- I mean, that's what the locals took all their goodies to market in.- Yes.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24I mean, useful little cart if you ain't got a car.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Well, I might be being a bit mean,
0:30:26 > 0:30:28but I think it's sort of £60-£90 worth.
0:30:28 > 0:30:29Do you think it's as much is that?
0:30:29 > 0:30:31I hope so. What did she pay for it?
0:30:31 > 0:30:33- £120.- What did she pay for it?
0:30:33 > 0:30:35- £120.- Sorry?
0:30:35 > 0:30:37- I knew your hearing wasn't as good. - I thought you said £120.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39- I did say £120.- Good Lord above.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41- I don't think it's worth £60, me. - No, right.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44Perhaps I was being generous. I think we might be in trouble there, Tim.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47Well, in that case, we better swiftly move on to the Blues.
0:30:47 > 0:30:52- Their first item for the Blues is the little compact.- Yeah.
0:30:52 > 0:30:53- Musical compact.- Yeah.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Difficult thing to value, I suppose.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57What sort of number would you put on that?
0:30:57 > 0:30:58- Ten pounds.- Is that all?- Yeah.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00£20 paid.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02But it's musical, it's got that novelty,
0:31:02 > 0:31:04it'll be on the internet, you'll give it a push.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06- We'll find somebody. - Anything could happen.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09- We'll find somebody on the day. - Could be exciting, actually.- Yeah.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11OK, now, the vesta case.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13What do you like best about that vesta case, Phil?
0:31:13 > 0:31:15Well, it just stands out a little bit above the crowd
0:31:15 > 0:31:18from the fact that it's got a nice shape to it.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20I mean, some of them are very, very plain.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24But I mean, I think that's £30-£50 worth, as vestas go.
0:31:24 > 0:31:25Um...
0:31:25 > 0:31:28£30-£50, I have no doubt, is the right estimate. They paid £65.
0:31:28 > 0:31:29So they paid the retail price,
0:31:29 > 0:31:32- and that will not show them a profit.- No. I don't think so.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34On the other hand,
0:31:34 > 0:31:37they went to the opposite pole with our babies behind us here.
0:31:37 > 0:31:38Yeah.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42They bought two telegraph poles that once upon a time were in India
0:31:42 > 0:31:45or Malaysia are somewhere or other where they got cleverly carved up
0:31:45 > 0:31:48into these elongated animals and then painted up.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50- Do you like them?- No.
0:31:50 > 0:31:51You have another opportunity.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53- Do you like them?- No.- No!
0:31:53 > 0:31:55OK, he doesn't like them. They paid £48.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57PHILIP SIGHS What do we put on them? £30-£50?
0:31:57 > 0:31:59There is a chance.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01You put £30-£50, that is just about in the estimate,
0:32:01 > 0:32:02- thank you very much.- Good.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05And by the time the good folk of Malvern have been stirred up by you,
0:32:05 > 0:32:07frankly, anything could happen.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09- Oh, we'll galvanise them. - We'll galvanise them.
0:32:09 > 0:32:10And in case it all goes wrong,
0:32:10 > 0:32:12they may have recourse to their bonus buy,
0:32:12 > 0:32:15in which case let's go and have a look at it.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19OK, chaps, £133 you spent.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21The leftover lolly moment,
0:32:21 > 0:32:25£167 went to Kate Bliss.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28How much did she spend and what did she spend it on? Let me help you.
0:32:28 > 0:32:29Thank you.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31TONY LAUGHS What a surprise.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33THEY ALL LAUGH
0:32:33 > 0:32:37- Are your hands twitching? - Oh, look at that.- Let's have a look.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40- Have you ever flown anything like these, chaps?- No.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42That's a Stuka dive bomber, I think,
0:32:42 > 0:32:43so I wouldn't have flown one of those.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46- So, that's a Junkers, this is a Spitfire, of course.- Right.
0:32:46 > 0:32:50Little bit of damage on this one. They are both Dinkys, Dinky Toys.
0:32:50 > 0:32:51Dinkys.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54The Spitfire made very much late '50s
0:32:54 > 0:32:57right up to sort of 1980 in date.
0:32:57 > 0:32:58This one is in pretty good nick.
0:32:58 > 0:33:02Are these things bought on condition, condition, condition, are they?
0:33:02 > 0:33:05- Is it really important?- It is really important, yeah. Very much so.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08- And I didn't pay a huge amount. - Yes, I know. What did you pay?
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Well, I was thinking £167 is...
0:33:10 > 0:33:12- Yes, that would be quite a lot. - A bit over the top.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15Well, it's not how much you spend, fellas, it's how much profit.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17- It's what you buy.- That's true. - How much did you spend?
0:33:17 > 0:33:20- £18.- What?!- For the two.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22- For the two.- That's not bad. - Oh, right.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24- We might do well out of that. - Might just wipe its face.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26Well, I'm hoping it'll do a lot better than that.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Ask her how much she thinks they'll bring.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30How much do you think they're going to bring?
0:33:30 > 0:33:32- 50 quid.- Really?!- Maybe.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34I think you will get that
0:33:34 > 0:33:36and I think that, in particular, is lovely.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38- They'll definitely take off.- Yes.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41But quite how high they'll go remains to be seen.
0:33:41 > 0:33:42Anyway, well done, chaps.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Grip that bit of knowledge because right now
0:33:44 > 0:33:46we're going to find out, for the audience at home,
0:33:46 > 0:33:49how much the auctioneer thinks Kate's kites are worth.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54OK, Phil, here we go. A little toy for you.
0:33:54 > 0:33:58- I love these.- They are Dinky at their best, I suppose, aren't they?
0:33:58 > 0:34:00I'm sure you would have had Look And Learn as a child, Tim,
0:34:00 > 0:34:02but I had The Hornet and The Victor.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Did you?
0:34:04 > 0:34:06Yeah, and, you know, as a kid you read these...
0:34:06 > 0:34:07I wouldn't say just after the war,
0:34:07 > 0:34:09it was a considerably long time after the war.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11- Long time after the war. - But, you know,
0:34:11 > 0:34:13you read out about your comic book heroes
0:34:13 > 0:34:16with the Spitfires and the German planes and all that sort of stuff

0:37:38 > 0:37:43That is minus £45, which you did not go with, you clever old socks.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45You are, anyway, plus nine pounds, all right?
0:37:45 > 0:37:46That could be a winning score.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48- Say not a word to the Blues. - Not a word.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51- Happy, girls?- Yes.- Well done. - Perfect, brilliant.
0:37:51 > 0:37:52- Thank you.- Mm.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54This job has its compensations.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05Tony, John, do you know how the Reds got on?
0:38:05 > 0:38:07- No, not a clue.- No idea.- Jolly good.
0:38:07 > 0:38:08We don't want you to know.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11Now, listen, they spent £133.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14The musical compact Phil Serrell has estimated at five to ten pounds.
0:38:14 > 0:38:15That's a bit mean.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18It is mean. And I've seen those things go online
0:38:18 > 0:38:19and I know they're worth £40 or £50.
0:38:19 > 0:38:24A musical compact like that in good nick should make £40, no worries.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28And if all else fails, you've got the aircraft to fall back on.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30- Absolutely.- Yes. - Which is quite appropriate. Good.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32OK. Well, on that happy basis, then,

0:38:58 > 0:39:00LAUGHTER

0:39:45 > 0:39:49- Sorry, chaps.- At £50, and done. Thank you.
0:39:49 > 0:39:54- Not bad.- £50 is minus £15, which means you are £35 up.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56Good. Now, here come the old cats.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Who's got £50 for a pair of them?
0:39:58 > 0:40:02- Meow.- Not sure that Malvern is ready for wooden leopards yet.
0:40:02 > 0:40:03At £20 only, at 20.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06And five. A wise move, sir.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09The net's out. 30 is in. 35.
0:40:09 > 0:40:1135. One more on the net now.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13- Oh, go on!- 40 bid here.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16At £40 on the book, on the net, rather,
0:40:16 > 0:40:18and I thank you for your bid and done then at 40.
0:40:18 > 0:40:23So, eight pounds. Which means you are plus £27.

0:40:27 > 0:40:29Anyway, you have £27.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31Are you going to jeopardise your winnings,
0:40:31 > 0:40:34which are in your pocket at the moment at £27,
0:40:34 > 0:40:37by going with the £18 Dinkys?
0:40:37 > 0:40:40Is the answer yes or is it no?
0:40:40 > 0:40:42- It's a yes from me. - OK. What's it from you?
0:40:42 > 0:40:44We can only lose £18 so yeah, why not?
0:40:44 > 0:40:47- So you're happy with this? Going to have a bit of a spin?- Yes.- OK.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49- We're going to risk it for a biscuit.- Yeah.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52We're going to go with the two Dinkys, and here come the Dinkys.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56Lot number 141 is the Spitfire and the Junkers.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58Give me £30 to start, someone.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01- Uh-oh.- Who's got a tenner, quickly?
0:41:01 > 0:41:02Ten anywhere, quickly.

0:41:22 > 0:41:26And that means overall, you are £49 up in your pocket.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28That's a winner.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30Don't say a word to the Reds and all will be revealed in a moment.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39Well, how lovely is this to come outside?
0:41:39 > 0:41:42Now, have you teams been chatting to one another?
0:41:42 > 0:41:43- No.- Nope.- Not at all.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46Well, it is great that we've got two teams of winners today...
0:41:46 > 0:41:48- Ooh!- Ooh!- ..on Bargain Hunt.
0:41:48 > 0:41:52- Everybody is going home with profits.- Oh, good.
0:41:52 > 0:41:56And it's simply a scale of the winnings which divides them.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59And the team with marginally...
0:41:59 > 0:42:04Actually, with quite a few less profits than the other
0:42:04 > 0:42:06are the Reds.
0:42:06 > 0:42:07GIRLS: Aw!
0:42:07 > 0:42:09But nevertheless, girls, do not despair.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11You are going home with nine pounds.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13- Yay!- Nine pounds!
0:42:13 > 0:42:16It was progressing so well, wasn't it?
0:42:16 > 0:42:20A three-pound profit, then a ten-pound profit and then sadly,
0:42:20 > 0:42:23- those old stamp jobbies didn't you so good.- No.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26And you very, very wisely didn't go with the bonus buy.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30That was your biggest, biggest plus point.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32And you finished up with plus nine.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35So, no bonus buy but your nine pounds. Are you happy with that?
0:42:35 > 0:42:36- Yes.- Yes.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38It has been a joy having you sisters on the programme.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Thank you very much.
0:42:40 > 0:42:44But the winners today, who are going home with £49...
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Up, up and away. That's what I say.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49- Brilliant.- There's your £49.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52The £50 profit on that compact was extraordinary, wasn't it?
0:42:52 > 0:42:54- Yeah.- Nobody rated that.
0:42:54 > 0:42:55- Are you happy?- Oh, yes.- Very.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58- And glad to beat the girls. - Delighted.- Yes.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Come on.
0:43:00 > 0:43:04It's the rivalry! Anyway, we have had a great day.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07So great, why don't you join us for some more bargain hunting. Yes?
0:43:07 > 0:43:09- ALL:- Yes!
0:43:09 > 0:43:11THEY ALL CHUCKLE
