0:00:03 > 0:00:06Finding that special item is rather like
0:00:06 > 0:00:08looking for a needle in a haystack.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11Still, practice makes perfect
0:00:11 > 0:00:14and if you've got fire in your belly,
0:00:14 > 0:00:15no worries.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18So, let's go Bargain Hunting, yeah!
0:00:45 > 0:00:50We're at an antiques fair in the grounds of Grimsthorpe Castle.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53There are about 130 dealers here,
0:00:53 > 0:00:56so our teams will have plenty of choice and opportunity
0:00:56 > 0:00:59to spend their £300 on three objects, in just one hour.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Let's have a quick peek as to what's coming up.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06'The Reds feel the pressure...'
0:01:06 > 0:01:07Seven minutes...
0:01:08 > 0:01:11'..and the Blues are in for a shock.'
0:01:11 > 0:01:12Oh!
0:01:12 > 0:01:13ANITA LAUGHS
0:01:13 > 0:01:16'And the bids keep coming at auction.'
0:01:16 > 0:01:1930...
0:01:19 > 0:01:2140, madam.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22'That's all coming up later.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24'But first, let's meet the teams.'
0:01:26 > 0:01:30On Bargain Hunt today, we have a team of sisters for the Reds -
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Liz and Helen.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35A married couple, Carolyn and Clark,
0:01:35 > 0:01:36for the Blues.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37Hello, everyone.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39ALL: Hello!
0:01:39 > 0:01:43Now, Helen - you actually have the privilege of working here
0:01:43 > 0:01:45at Grimsthorpe Castle.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47- I do indeed, yes.- And what exactly do you do?
0:01:47 > 0:01:49I'm a secretary in the estate office.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Now, it says here, you're a massive motorsports fan.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- I am indeed, yes. - OK, tell us about that.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58I've been motor racing since I was a baby.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01My stepfather was a development mechanic
0:02:01 > 0:02:03for the BRM team with Graham Hill,
0:02:03 > 0:02:05when they won the World Championship.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07And we've been motor racing with the family,
0:02:07 > 0:02:10with the Alfa Romeo racing car ever since, so...
0:02:10 > 0:02:11Well, isn't that lovely?
0:02:11 > 0:02:13My mother and I tend to help feed everybody,
0:02:13 > 0:02:17so we're the catering team, if you like, the catering...
0:02:17 > 0:02:21Well, every army has to be marched on a full stomach, they say.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23- It does indeed. - And you're in charge of that too?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- Cupcakes and everything. - Sounds like a brilliant job.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30Now, Liz, you work in a commercial property firm,
0:02:30 > 0:02:32but what do you get up to when you're not doing that?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- Music is very important to you, isn't it?- Yes, it is, yeah.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- I've just come back from Knebworth, for the 40-year anniversary. - Oh, brilliant.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42It really is in your family, isn't it, cos your father used to play Pink Floyd?
0:02:42 > 0:02:43Yeah, that's where I got it from.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Mum liked ABBA and Cliff Richard and Dad liked Pink Floyd,
0:02:46 > 0:02:49so that's where I've got my rock passion from.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52So what sort of things are you going to buy today? Pop memorabilia, yes?
0:02:52 > 0:02:54- Yeah...- We'll see what's out there.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Not going to commit at this moment?
0:02:56 > 0:02:58- No.- Which is absolutely understandable.
0:02:58 > 0:02:59Anyway, very good luck.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Now, moving on to our married couple, Carolyn and Clark.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06And Danny is going to come in and do some signing for them,
0:03:06 > 0:03:08thank you very much.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12And you two really are a pair of trendsetters,
0:03:12 > 0:03:14because you're our very first
0:03:14 > 0:03:17deaf signing contestants on Bargain Hunt.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21Now, I've heard something about sign names,
0:03:21 > 0:03:23so tell us about those.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Well, this is my sign name, Carolyn.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Before, I used to perform as an actress
0:03:28 > 0:03:30and I was given that sign name.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Clark - people think this is his sign name, because he's bald
0:03:33 > 0:03:35and it's not.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Before, he used to have red hair and this was his sign name, given to him.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40We've given you a sign name, Tim
0:03:40 > 0:03:42and this is your bowtie, Tim.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44OK, well, that's rather lovely!
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Now, Carolyn, this is not the first time you've been on TV,
0:03:47 > 0:03:48is it, darling?
0:03:48 > 0:03:50No, I've been on television a number of times,
0:03:50 > 0:03:52reporting, presenting
0:03:52 > 0:03:56and then I did an interpretation of the Queen's speech on television.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59How is it, being the Queen on the TV?
0:04:00 > 0:04:03You know, I'm slightly below her in station,
0:04:03 > 0:04:05but I was very respectful.
0:04:05 > 0:04:06I didn't have to curtsy.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08No. Did you wear your own crown?
0:04:08 > 0:04:10No, I didn't! LAUGHTER
0:04:10 > 0:04:14Now, Clark - tell me about your trip down Route 66.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17I've always had a passion for cars, all my life.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21And Route 66 is something I've always been tempted to do.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24I wanted to do it by motorbike and I said to Carolyn, I said,
0:04:24 > 0:04:25"Can we do it by motorbike?" She said,
0:04:25 > 0:04:28"No way. If we're doing that, we're going to have to go tandem
0:04:28 > 0:04:31"and how are we going to communicate, with one behind the other?"
0:04:31 > 0:04:33And I thought, "OK, yes, she's right."
0:04:33 > 0:04:34So we did a compromise
0:04:34 > 0:04:37and we got an open-top car and we did the Route 66.
0:04:37 > 0:04:38Brilliant.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41So, how are you going to get on as a team today?
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Are you going to spend all the money?
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Yes, hopefully we will. Well, we'll see, we'll see.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Carolyn's not so sure!
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Anyway, talking of money, this is the money moment.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Here we go - the £300.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56£300 each, look.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59You know the rules, your experts await and...
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Off you go!
0:05:01 > 0:05:03And very, very, very good fun!
0:05:03 > 0:05:06'Now, who's providing today's expertise?
0:05:06 > 0:05:09'Weighing in for the Reds is...
0:05:10 > 0:05:13'And hoping to hog all the profits for the Blues is...
0:05:15 > 0:05:19'Now, let's see what the teams are looking out for today.'
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Guys, welcome to Bargain Hunt.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24I've got 300 squidgeroos to spend today!
0:05:24 > 0:05:26How exciting! That's great!
0:05:26 > 0:05:29What... What do you want to buy?
0:05:30 > 0:05:32- Ooh, some jewellery.- Yes, yes, yes.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Yeah, I'd really like some jewellery.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36And for me, something a bit weird, something unusual.
0:05:36 > 0:05:37I quite like glass...
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- We'll see, we'll see what's out there.- Maybe some jewellery?
0:05:40 > 0:05:43- Maybe some jewellery? Do you know your jewellery?- No.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45- I do, that's good.- That's what you're here for.- Yes, come on!
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Who's going to be doing the bargaining?
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Me, me, down to me.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51Yeah, it'll be Carolyn, definitely.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Time to pitch in -
0:05:53 > 0:05:55your 60 minutes starts now.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Let's go and spend some money!
0:05:57 > 0:06:01'Sign interpreter, Danny, will be joining the Blues on their shop.'
0:06:01 > 0:06:04If we're looking for jewellery,
0:06:04 > 0:06:07we're looking for little cabinets or cases
0:06:07 > 0:06:10that we can see on the stalls,
0:06:10 > 0:06:12so keep your eyes open for that.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14It's like a little Aga, made of tin.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Yeah, a bit different.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18It's looking a bit weather-beaten.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21Well, I'm going to walk away from it,
0:06:21 > 0:06:27because obviously, I'm gauging you're not taken by it enormously. Yeah?
0:06:27 > 0:06:30But, first stall. You know, we've got plenty of time.
0:06:30 > 0:06:31All right, great, thanks.
0:06:31 > 0:06:32Not saying no.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35'A slightly cool reaction to that one, Jonathan.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37'But the Blues are wasting no time
0:06:37 > 0:06:39'in homing in on a couple of items to show Anita.'
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Oh, I like the Volkswagen.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Which one do you think will be more collectable, Anita?
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- The Volkswagen, or...?- I think the Volkswagen. So that's older...
0:06:49 > 0:06:53I think it'd be popular, wouldn't it? More popular, more collectable, VW.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56I think it's nice, I like that. Maybe we can ask a price on it?
0:06:56 > 0:06:58What's so special about it, do you think?
0:06:58 > 0:06:59Oh, I...
0:06:59 > 0:07:02People love the VW camper van.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Yeah. It is part of a certain era,
0:07:05 > 0:07:09when people went on camping holidays in Britain,
0:07:09 > 0:07:11probably to places like this.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13- Yeah, yeah.- It's nostalgia.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16But would someone buy that? You know...
0:07:16 > 0:07:18- Oh, yes, yes. - ..would they display it?
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Guys are just big kids
0:07:21 > 0:07:25and they love to look back, with nostalgia,
0:07:25 > 0:07:27at the toys that they might have played with!
0:07:27 > 0:07:28ANITA LAUGHS
0:07:28 > 0:07:31I think, you know, £15?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- Shall we see if we can get a discount on it?- Uh-huh.- A bit cheaper?
0:07:34 > 0:07:36- 12, maybe?- 15 isn't too bad,
0:07:36 > 0:07:37but try and get it down.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Every pound counts.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41We want you to win.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- Yeah, yeah, OK. Let's ask.- Let's go.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47'If you don't ask, you don't get.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49'So, time for a spot of negotiation.'
0:07:50 > 0:07:53..the transport stuff, but there was the other one we looked at,
0:07:53 > 0:07:56the VW camper van.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57I think that's quite a popular thing.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01You mentioned £15 - could we get a better price on that?
0:08:01 > 0:08:03If you could just reduce it a bit?
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Maybe for yourselves, something special...
0:08:05 > 0:08:06£10.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Wow, £10, that's fantastic!
0:08:10 > 0:08:12- Oh, great, that's a deal.- Well done.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14'Wow, that was quick work, Blues!
0:08:14 > 0:08:15'Riding off with their first item
0:08:15 > 0:08:18'in less than five minutes. Well done!
0:08:18 > 0:08:20'Now, it seems the Reds have launched
0:08:20 > 0:08:22'a charm offensive.'
0:08:22 > 0:08:24There's quite a lot on that.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26There's a lot of American charms on it.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29That's the one that caught my eye.
0:08:29 > 0:08:30It's mostly silver.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33One way or the other, they'd be stamped 925, stamped "silver"...
0:08:33 > 0:08:35They're of mixed ages...
0:08:35 > 0:08:37There might be one or two, the coins are old,
0:08:37 > 0:08:39- but some of the charms are relatively modern.- Yeah.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- But then, these were bought... They were added to, weren't they?- Yes.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Sort of accumulated, as people were given them as presents, or whatever.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- Travelled... - Limitations on value, obviously.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50At auction, people will look at the weight.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51What would that be?
0:08:53 > 0:08:55What were on it, June?
0:08:55 > 0:08:58I've got 100 on it, don't know what the best is.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Best I can do on it is 75
0:09:01 > 0:09:03and that's a good price.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05OK, thank you.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07What drew your eye to it? Apart from the car, you know...
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Well, you know we've got...
0:09:09 > 0:09:11I've got a silver charm bracelet at home.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14We've both sort of grown up with them. What do you think?
0:09:15 > 0:09:17- Well, I like it, you like it. - I like it.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- That's the important thing - YOU like it, so...- Shall we go for it?
0:09:20 > 0:09:22- OK, then.- Yeah. I think you've got a sale.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24- Thank you very much, thank you. - Thank you.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26'And well done, Reds.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27'Charmed by the bracelet,
0:09:27 > 0:09:30'that's their first purchase in the bag.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34'Back to the Blues now, who have just spotted something glamorous.'
0:09:34 > 0:09:37The gilt is a little...
0:09:37 > 0:09:39rubbed, there.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Let's have a wee look... Oh!
0:09:41 > 0:09:42LAUGHTER
0:09:45 > 0:09:47'You always look gorgeous, Anita.'
0:09:48 > 0:09:50That's better.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53So, it's still been used, um...
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- Do you want some? - What do you think of the price?
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Do you think it's a good price, or...?
0:09:58 > 0:10:00£20, retail - it's not expensive.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03If we didn't have some rubbing
0:10:03 > 0:10:06on the gilt metal here,
0:10:06 > 0:10:09I would have said yes, go forward.
0:10:09 > 0:10:10But with a little...
0:10:10 > 0:10:12With a little bit of...
0:10:12 > 0:10:14It's not damage, it's just wear
0:10:14 > 0:10:17and it has been used.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20I would say it's just a wee bit difficult.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22- But I could be wrong. - Should we hold on that one?
0:10:22 > 0:10:24We could put a hold on that one.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27But there are other lovely things here.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30'By all means, put it to one side.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32'Something to think about.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38'Back to the Reds, who are putting heart and soul into their shop.'
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Oh, that's pretty.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42I've not seen a heart-shaped one before.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43It is a nice shape, isn't it?
0:10:43 > 0:10:45You've got Moorcroft collectors
0:10:45 > 0:10:48and you've got a bit of sort of sentiment in the shape,
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- which is quite sweet. - It's a pretty colour.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Yeah. You have to have perfect condition with these things...
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- Yeah.- ..to which, that is.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59It's quite sweet.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02He's asking 75.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- Do you like it? - I like it, it's different.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07I probably wouldn't have it at home myself, but I can see,
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- because it's Moorcroft, it's heart-shaped...- Yeah.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12- It's slightly different.- There are collectors of that sort of thing.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16- Yeah.- I'd be inclined to ask the gentleman what he might be able to do for it.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18What's the best on the Moorcroft pin tray?
0:11:18 > 0:11:20'But will it be a heart-stopping price?'
0:11:22 > 0:11:2465. I can take 10 off.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Your very best?
0:11:26 > 0:11:28- 62.- Yeah?
0:11:28 > 0:11:29Yeah, 62.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- Could you put it to one side for us?- Yeah, certainly.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Pop it there, on the table and I'll keep it for you.
0:11:35 > 0:11:36Thank you.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- So you're definitely interested? - I'm definitely interested.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41- 62, brilliant, OK. - Have a think about that one.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45- Well, that's something to come back to. Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47'Another one for the back burner.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51'Meanwhile, Anita is keen to raise the bar for the Blues.'
0:11:51 > 0:11:53I don't know if you like this type of thing,
0:11:53 > 0:11:55but this is a typical
0:11:55 > 0:11:58late 19th-century brooch.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01It's 9-carat gold,
0:12:01 > 0:12:03it's in very good condition.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07It would have had a little plate at the back,
0:12:07 > 0:12:10where you could perhaps keep a hair -
0:12:10 > 0:12:13you know, they call it "mourning jewellery",
0:12:13 > 0:12:15but if they're crisp,
0:12:15 > 0:12:17they're still desirable.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20And this one is in perfect good condition.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22We've got a little diamond there -
0:12:22 > 0:12:24it's just a teeny, wee one,
0:12:24 > 0:12:26but it's still a diamond.
0:12:26 > 0:12:31We've got some very nice little scrollwork, here.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33So I think that's a nice thing.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Tell me, Carolyn, what you think about that?
0:12:37 > 0:12:39I think it's beautiful.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Yeah, right. Oh, yeah - you can see where the hair would have gone,
0:12:42 > 0:12:43or something like that, yeah.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- I like it, yeah, it's beautiful. - Do you like it?
0:12:47 > 0:12:50What's the value of it, would you say?
0:12:50 > 0:12:53If we could pay round about £25,
0:12:53 > 0:12:56we'd get a real bargain, there.
0:12:56 > 0:12:57Clark, what do you think?
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Let's try, shall we ask them? Yeah, let's go for it.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Do you want to do it, or will I do it?
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Yeah, you do it. LAUGHTER
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Go on, Anita, do your stuff with the stall holder,
0:13:06 > 0:13:09who, coincidentally, is also deaf.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Hello. We fancied this wee brooch here.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Um...
0:13:14 > 0:13:16What sort of price is on it?
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Well, it's got £30 on it.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- £30?- Yeah.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Can you do a little better on that?
0:13:25 > 0:13:27For you, £20.
0:13:27 > 0:13:28Oh! Put your hand there,
0:13:28 > 0:13:30thank you very much, that's lovely.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Oh, I'm delighted with that.
0:13:33 > 0:13:34'And with that,
0:13:34 > 0:13:37'that's the second purchase made for the Blues.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39'We're now exactly halfway through the shop.'
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Come on, the Blues!
0:13:44 > 0:13:48'Looks like the Reds are heading back to school.'
0:13:48 > 0:13:51This is like my... Well, this is the school desk we had when I was a kid.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53We had single ones, not the double ones.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55We had doubles. Yeah.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56But there's no inkwell.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- Ours used to have the hole for the inkwell, as well.- Yeah, ours did.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01- So these are slightly later. - A little brass...
0:14:01 > 0:14:02thing used to sit inside.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04These are great sort of...
0:14:04 > 0:14:06- kid's-bedroom desks.- Yes.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10They've got to do their homework and they can hide all their stuff away.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12- But he's asking £75 for it. - I quite like it.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15- Is there any chewing gum underneath it?- I'm not going to look for it!
0:14:15 > 0:14:17LAUGHTER
0:14:17 > 0:14:18I'll let you look for that!
0:14:18 > 0:14:22'I hope you didn't get into such sticky situations, JP.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23'So, as the shopping continues,
0:14:23 > 0:14:26'the Blues might have seen the light.'
0:14:27 > 0:14:29It's like African Arts and Crafts.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31It's beautiful.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34I've not seen anything quite like it before - it's unusual, isn't it?
0:14:34 > 0:14:38Uh-huh. A very sort of simple, straightforward design
0:14:38 > 0:14:40and execution of design,
0:14:40 > 0:14:44but I don't think that it's got any huge quality.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47But if you liked it and I liked it,
0:14:47 > 0:14:48someone else would like it.
0:14:50 > 0:14:51And I think...
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Well, I've not seen anything quite like it, I think it's unusual.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56And suppose, even if it was...
0:14:56 > 0:14:59in a room with antique furniture,
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- it would still blend in quite well, I think.- You like it?
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Can we look at the price, do you think and see how much it is?
0:15:04 > 0:15:06There's no price on it, is there?
0:15:06 > 0:15:07- Maybe we could ask the...- Hello.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11Hello, hello! We're admiring this lamp here.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13- It's so unusual.- Uh-huh. - Very unusual.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15How much is it?
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Today, for you, it's £30.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19- ANITA GASPS - That's a good price.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Yeah, for you, today, £30.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23So this could be a possibility?
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Yes, I'll keep it by, just in case you decide.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28OK, thank you again. Thank you.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30- You're welcome.- Lovely, thank you. Hold it for us.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32We will do, yes.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35'There's a lot of item-holding going on today.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37'It's buying we need!
0:15:39 > 0:15:42'Time for me now to have a little break from the shopping
0:15:42 > 0:15:44'and have a wander in the woods.'
0:15:44 > 0:15:45Do you know, they say that
0:15:45 > 0:15:47from small acorns,
0:15:47 > 0:15:49great oak trees grow.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51And they're absolutely right.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Because this oak tree behind me
0:15:54 > 0:15:56must be 250,
0:15:56 > 0:15:58300 years old,
0:15:58 > 0:16:00sitting as it does,
0:16:00 > 0:16:02in the grounds of Grimsthorpe Castle.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Also sitting in the grounds of Grimsthorpe Castle,
0:16:07 > 0:16:08at the antiques fair,
0:16:08 > 0:16:11was this delightful little table.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14In about 1820,
0:16:14 > 0:16:16a tree like that was felled
0:16:16 > 0:16:19and the timber from that tree
0:16:19 > 0:16:21was used to create
0:16:21 > 0:16:24the most delicious of delicious tripod tables,
0:16:24 > 0:16:26like this.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28The central stem would have been
0:16:28 > 0:16:32a rectangular, long, thin block of oak,
0:16:32 > 0:16:33spun on a lathe
0:16:33 > 0:16:38and intricately turned with these different ring elements,
0:16:38 > 0:16:40down to a bulb here
0:16:40 > 0:16:43and then into the stem down below, three shaped
0:16:43 > 0:16:47what are called "crab-stock form legs",
0:16:47 > 0:16:49were jointed in.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50If I turn it upside down,
0:16:50 > 0:16:52you can see that that central stem
0:16:52 > 0:16:55is attached to a block,
0:16:55 > 0:16:57which is screwed to the top,
0:16:57 > 0:17:00which, unusually, is uber-thin.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02And when the thing stands on the ground,
0:17:02 > 0:17:05it looks absolutely perfect.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07For me, it's an absolute gem.
0:17:07 > 0:17:12£25 is all this table would cost you today,
0:17:12 > 0:17:15here at the Grimsthorpe fair.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Is that expensive?
0:17:17 > 0:17:21It's enough to make Ye Oak Tree weep.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25'So, back to the shopping.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26'It's 2-1 to the Blues
0:17:26 > 0:17:29'and the Reds have some sharp catching up to do.'
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Do you want to go back for that Moorcroft, then?
0:17:32 > 0:17:35And then we've got that piece and we can look for one other piece,
0:17:35 > 0:17:36if not, last-minute...
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Yeah, very sensible, ladies. Like your style.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Would you take 60?
0:17:45 > 0:17:46Pretty please?
0:17:46 > 0:17:49I would, yeah. The wife said I would, so yeah.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- "Gawd bless her indoors." - Cheers, thank you.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Big shake of the hand, thank you very much.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- Cheers, thank you.- 'OK, that's the second purchase for the Reds.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00'Both teams now just need one more item each.'
0:18:03 > 0:18:05This is a Singer sewing machine
0:18:05 > 0:18:07that was made in Clydebank.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09And they made the best sewing machines
0:18:09 > 0:18:12in the whole world.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15'We all know you're a true Scottish lass, Anita.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18'Seems JP is getting fruity with the Reds.'
0:18:18 > 0:18:20It's what we call a berry spoon, OK?
0:18:20 > 0:18:23If it's silver - which it is -
0:18:23 > 0:18:25- it started off life as a tablespoon...- Yeah.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28..the Victorians got hold of it and they gilt it,
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- so that the acid of the fruit doesn't taint the silver.- Yeah.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33They're not rare,
0:18:33 > 0:18:36because they made them in their thousa... Hundreds,
0:18:36 > 0:18:38so, hundreds and hundreds of millions
0:18:38 > 0:18:41and everybody in the world had a Singer sewing machine.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44It's not unusual, is it? It's not rare enough. Let's carry on.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Would be worth...
0:18:46 > 0:18:4715 quid.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49But the marked price is £120, which...
0:18:51 > 0:18:53- ..for me, is a nonstarter.- Yeah.
0:18:53 > 0:18:54'You tell them, JP.'
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Is it a sugar sifter?
0:18:58 > 0:19:00A sugar caster.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02- Sugar sifter is a spoon...- Yeah.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05A caster contains the sugar.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- It's got a silver mount on it, though, silver cover.- Yeah.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Relatively modern, Birmingham mark,
0:19:10 > 0:19:13it's about 1980-something...
0:19:13 > 0:19:14So it's more modern?
0:19:14 > 0:19:18So would it mean it's not worth as much as older pieces?
0:19:18 > 0:19:20You tend not to get
0:19:20 > 0:19:2319th-century casters in glass and silver anyway.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- Yeah.- It's all about the aesthetics of these things.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28That's a very traditional baluster shape.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30'Let's see what's going on.'
0:19:30 > 0:19:34The collectors are only going to go in after the 18th century, anyway.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- Hello, Tim.- What does he talk about, eh?
0:19:37 > 0:19:38- Rubbish.- Rubbish.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Now, listen, girls - and boy. You have bought two items, right?
0:19:41 > 0:19:44- We have, yes.- I've been asked to give you a time check.
0:19:44 > 0:19:45There's apparently ten minutes to go.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48- THEY GASP - Right.- Right. Does that...?
0:19:48 > 0:19:50- Get his opinion, get his opinion. - What do you think?
0:19:50 > 0:19:52If the price is £30, then I'd have it,
0:19:52 > 0:19:54because it's got a bit of silver and it's cut glass.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58It's perfectly all right to go, but anything more than £30, I think you're chancing your arm, girls.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00You see, you heard it from the horse himself.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03'Neigh! It's worth a punt, though.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05'Now, what have the Blues spotted here?'
0:20:05 > 0:20:07I think these are nice.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10And a nest of tables is always popular,
0:20:10 > 0:20:12always functional.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15They are modern Regency style.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17I'm not sure if it's mahogany,
0:20:17 > 0:20:19I think it's a stained beech.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23But they're a nice little nest of tables.
0:20:23 > 0:20:24I quite like them.
0:20:27 > 0:20:28- Are they popular?- Yes, yes.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- They are quite popular, I think they are usable.- This...
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Do you think the price is quite good? £59?
0:20:33 > 0:20:37I think that this Regency style is popular.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41I think that £59 is not too bad,
0:20:41 > 0:20:45but it would be certainly worth getting it down.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47Shall we ask?
0:20:47 > 0:20:49'It's always worth asking.'
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Hello, nice to see you.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Hi, there.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55We've been looking at this nest of tables.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59So I'm just wondering if you could do it for 40, for us?
0:20:59 > 0:21:00I'll do better than that.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02I'll do 37.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05ANITA LAUGHS Oh, wow, fantastic!
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Then you can win, then, can't you? Because I like blue.
0:21:10 > 0:21:11Fantastic! Ah, that's great!
0:21:11 > 0:21:13- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16'Well, that's it for the Blues.'
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Right, guys, that's our last item.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22Three items, all good buys.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25And we've still got nine minutes to go.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26I think we deserve a cup of tea.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Fantastic, yeah, well done.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30- Let's go.- Come on.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32'So now the Reds are feeling the pressure.'
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Seven minutes...
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Any ideas?
0:21:40 > 0:21:42- No.- No.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44'Finding the going tough,
0:21:44 > 0:21:48'the Reds are heading back to the sugar caster they spotted earlier.'
0:21:48 > 0:21:49- Hi.- Hi.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Would you accept 25 for that?
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Ooh, not 25.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56No, that's silver, that one. No, the best I could do on that...
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Would be 38.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00And that's a fair reduction on that.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02- Well, that's going to have to be a deal then, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04OK, £38, thank you.
0:22:04 > 0:22:05OK, I'll wrap it for you. Thank you.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Thank you.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Well done, ladies, that's very good.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11It's nice quality, it's got silver,
0:22:11 > 0:22:14it's about as good as it gets for that type of caster.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18It's a WHISKY business, this Bargain Hunting.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Time's up!
0:22:20 > 0:22:21- Job done.- Yeah.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23I now can work out how much money I've got left
0:22:23 > 0:22:25and go shopping for my expert buy.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Let's check out what the Red Team bought.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33'They were charmed by this silver charm bracelet,
0:22:33 > 0:22:35'for £75.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38'The Moorcroft heart-shaped pin dish
0:22:38 > 0:22:39'cost them £60.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42'And finally, they sprinkled £38
0:22:42 > 0:22:45'on a late 20th-century sugar caster with a silver top.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49- Now, Liz, Hels, did you get the shaker?- Yes, we did.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51- How much did you pay for it?- £38.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53£8 more than you should have done, in my opinion.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Still, I could be wrong.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57So how much did you spend in total, then?
0:22:57 > 0:22:59- 173.- 173...
0:22:59 > 0:23:01I'd like 127, please.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04- There you go.- Thank you. Which is your favourite piece, Elizabeth?
0:23:04 > 0:23:06- The Moorcroft.- Was it? What about you, Hell's Bells?
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Probably the same - the Moorcroft.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10OK, you agree about most things, that's lovely.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12And is that going to bring the biggest profit?
0:23:12 > 0:23:14It might be the silver bracelet.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Right. But not the caster, right?
0:23:16 > 0:23:19- Yeah. - LAUGHTER
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Do you agree that the bracelet is going to do the biggest profit?
0:23:22 > 0:23:24- Yeah, we do.- Wow, they're so agreeable, these guys.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26You've just had a peach of a day, haven't you, JP?
0:23:26 > 0:23:29They did dither a little bit, but it was good. Really good fun.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Good fun, did great. Anyway, you're the next one to go into a dither,
0:23:32 > 0:23:34because you've got to go and find them something appropriate.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Something that you know they will really love,
0:23:37 > 0:23:38that will cook up a profit.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40- Exactly.- What do you mean, exactly?
0:23:40 > 0:23:42LAUGHTER
0:23:42 > 0:23:43Anyway, good fun.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue Team bought, eh?
0:23:46 > 0:23:50'They drove away with a boxed die-cast model of a Volkswagen van,
0:23:50 > 0:23:51'for £10.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53'They're pinning their hopes
0:23:53 > 0:23:56'on an early 20th-century 9-carat gold bar brooch,
0:23:56 > 0:23:58'for £20.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01'And £37 was spent on a walnut reproduction
0:24:01 > 0:24:02'Regency style nest of tables.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Well, that was very smooth sailing,
0:24:06 > 0:24:08you two, wasn't it?
0:24:08 > 0:24:11It was, it was fantastic, really exciting day.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Now, I have to ask you -
0:24:13 > 0:24:15which is your favourite piece?
0:24:15 > 0:24:16I think the brooch.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Yes, I think we've agreed on the brooch, really.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21And which is going to bring the biggest profit, do you think?
0:24:21 > 0:24:22The brooch.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Do you agree, Anita? I think the brooch, too.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27All of your items will bring a profit!
0:24:27 > 0:24:29LAUGHTER Yay, fantastic!
0:24:29 > 0:24:32How much did you spend in total?
0:24:32 > 0:24:33We were very good.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35We spent £67 in total.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Is that all?
0:24:37 > 0:24:39- Yes.- That's...- We were careful.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41That's ridiculous!
0:24:41 > 0:24:43LAUGHTER
0:24:43 > 0:24:44£67?
0:24:44 > 0:24:46That means I want...
0:24:46 > 0:24:48£233.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Ah!
0:24:52 > 0:24:53TIM CHUCKLES
0:24:53 > 0:24:56OK, give me the £233,
0:24:56 > 0:24:58which goes straight over to Anita.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00There you are, Anita, 200...
0:25:00 > 0:25:03I've never given so much leftover lolly over!
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Now, I hope, Anita, you're going to go out and blow the lot.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10I think I'll do my very, very best to do that.
0:25:10 > 0:25:11I'll try to...
0:25:11 > 0:25:14If I can't get one thing at lots of money,
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- I might try to get two things at lots of money. - TIM CHUCKLES
0:25:17 > 0:25:19In other words, a pair.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22OK. Well, good luck with your search.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Meanwhile, in just a second, we're off to the auction.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Well, here we are in Etwall, on the outskirts of Derby,
0:25:35 > 0:25:38with Charles Hanson. How lovely is this, Charles?
0:25:38 > 0:25:39- Morning, Tim.- Good morning to you.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Now, Helen and Liz,
0:25:41 > 0:25:43their first item was the charm bracelet.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46They are, probably, all silver charms, aren't they?
0:25:46 > 0:25:47Yes, they are, Tim.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49And if you looked at each one and you thought,
0:25:49 > 0:25:51"Ooh, each one of those is worth £12-£15,
0:25:51 > 0:25:54you've got yourself maybe £150 worth?
0:25:54 > 0:25:56That's it, 12 by 12, 144, yes.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58What sort of money do you get for them at auction?
0:25:58 > 0:26:00They tend to make anything from
0:26:00 > 0:26:02£45, £55, £65-ish
0:26:02 > 0:26:05and we've been quite cautious in our guide.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08- So you put a low estimate on, to tempt them in?- I hope so, Tim.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10£75 they paid. They went in at the tops.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13You're in at the bottoms, we hope to meet in the middle - or better.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15I hope so, Tim.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Anyway, next item is
0:26:17 > 0:26:19the Moorcroft heart-shaped dish.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- How are you finding modern Moorcroft these days?- Very good, Tim.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Even modern Moorcroft,
0:26:24 > 0:26:27there's a very keen market-base of buyers.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30And I like this dish, because it has love.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32And hopefully, a sweetheart might buy it, Tim.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Well, they might do, Charles, but you're a bit of a softie
0:26:35 > 0:26:37when it comes to all this. Anyway, how much is your estimate?
0:26:37 > 0:26:41It's worth, Tim, between £30 and £40.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42Is it? OK, £60 paid.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45- Last up is the caster.- Yes, Tim.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Not very old, but again, has the look of a late Victorian,
0:26:47 > 0:26:49quite chunky caster.
0:26:49 > 0:26:50We have done some homework
0:26:50 > 0:26:53and the company we believe it was made by -
0:26:53 > 0:26:57Toye, Kenning and Spencer - are still going today, which is quite nice.
0:26:57 > 0:26:58And what's it worth, Charles?
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Tim, we quite like it and again,
0:27:00 > 0:27:03we put a guide price on between 20 and £30.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05OK, they paid £38.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07So, not uniquely, but surprisingly,
0:27:07 > 0:27:10we have estimates way under the purchase price
0:27:10 > 0:27:12in each of these instances,
0:27:12 > 0:27:14which would indicate that this team
0:27:14 > 0:27:16are definitely going to need their bonus buy,
0:27:16 > 0:27:17so let's go and have a look at it.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20OK, Hels, Liz - this is exciting, isn't it?
0:27:20 > 0:27:22You spent 173,
0:27:22 > 0:27:24you gave your man 127.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26JP, what did you buy?
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Well, I thought, what could be more fitting
0:27:28 > 0:27:31for a pair of domestic goddesses like yourselves?
0:27:31 > 0:27:32Look at that!
0:27:32 > 0:27:33LAUGHTER
0:27:33 > 0:27:35How about a little stove?
0:27:35 > 0:27:37- I recognise that.- Do you?- Yeah.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40I think we spent a little bit of time looking at that, didn't we?
0:27:40 > 0:27:42I rather like this thing.
0:27:42 > 0:27:43I mean, I'm not entirely convinced
0:27:43 > 0:27:47it's a point-of-sale sort of object, whatever it might be.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50I think it's probably more of a children's toy.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52It's tin plate, OK, it's a little bit rusty,
0:27:52 > 0:27:54but actually, it's kind of like...
0:27:54 > 0:27:56The modern dining room is completely dead - you know,
0:27:56 > 0:27:59sort of polished mahogany, that's had its day.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02And the kitchen is now the dining room.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04And people are buying decorative objects
0:28:04 > 0:28:06to fit around the sort of country cottage-type look,
0:28:06 > 0:28:09the vintage look, I think this sort of fits in rather neatly.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12How much did I spend? It's on your lips, Tim.
0:28:12 > 0:28:13- I paid £50.- Right.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16So... But, do you like it, girls, seriously?
0:28:16 > 0:28:18- I find it...- If we liked it, we would have bought it.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20Oh, you didn't? Oh-ho.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23- I find it a bit more charming now. - You find it more charming now?
0:28:23 > 0:28:25- I just... I was worried about the condition of it.- Right.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28That was my biggest worry, was the condition of it.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30I know it's old and it should be a bit battered and beaten,
0:28:30 > 0:28:32but it was just a little...
0:28:32 > 0:28:35too battered and beaten. But we'll have to see.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37So there we go - lots to look forward to.
0:28:37 > 0:28:38And you don't have to pick now,
0:28:38 > 0:28:40you pick after the sale of your first three items.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42But for the viewers at home,
0:28:42 > 0:28:44let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about...
0:28:44 > 0:28:45the cooker.
0:28:46 > 0:28:47Here it comes.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50Now...there you go, Charles.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53Something for your little one to muck about with.
0:28:53 > 0:28:54Absolutely, Tim.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58It's... It's charming and the reason I like it, it's so original.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00And to a young toddler,
0:29:00 > 0:29:03to somebody who wants a bit of vintage kitchenalia
0:29:03 > 0:29:05on a small scale, I think it's quite cute.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07- What are you like?- Yeah.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09OK, fine. Moving on, what's it worth?
0:29:09 > 0:29:13- Between £15 and £25. - OK, fine. £50 paid.- OK.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15That is a heck of a price from JP.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17Anyway, that's it.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20Very good. Now, moving on, then, to the Blues.
0:29:20 > 0:29:24They've got the die-cast set toy of the VW Kombi Bus.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26The interesting fact is, Tim,
0:29:26 > 0:29:27the toy manufacturer, called Maisto,
0:29:27 > 0:29:31were founded in the year 1967.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34So this, I suspect, Tim,
0:29:34 > 0:29:36is probably 1990s.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38So, really quite modern
0:29:38 > 0:29:41and I can see it making £16, £18, £20, £22, £25, sold.
0:29:41 > 0:29:42Can you, really?
0:29:42 > 0:29:45- How lovely, because £10 only was paid for it.- Good.
0:29:45 > 0:29:46So that was very good.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49- So well done, Carolyn and Clark, for that.- Good.
0:29:49 > 0:29:50Next is the gold bar brooch,
0:29:50 > 0:29:52Chester, 1912.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55- Do you rate it?- Tim, not really.
0:29:55 > 0:29:56- Titchy, isn't it?- It is titchy
0:29:56 > 0:30:00and the diamond is barely a diamond, in terms of size,
0:30:00 > 0:30:01but it's not too tinny,
0:30:01 > 0:30:03it's got a weight attached to it.
0:30:03 > 0:30:07I hope it will make between £25 and £35.
0:30:07 > 0:30:08- Brilliant, £20 paid.- Good.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10We're doing rather well with this team, I tell you.
0:30:10 > 0:30:15Now we have a Regency style inlaid trio of tables.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17They're reproductions, but by jingo,
0:30:17 > 0:30:18are they useful tables.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20Condition isn't bad,
0:30:20 > 0:30:24the feather banding is neat, the quarter veneering of this...
0:30:24 > 0:30:26almost burr walnut is particularly nice.
0:30:26 > 0:30:30- We wish they were Regency, but they are not.- No, no, no.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33But as reproductions and in fairness, clean reproductions,
0:30:33 > 0:30:35little bit of tickling up - what are they worth?
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Between 25 and £30.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39- Really? £37, they paid.- Right.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42I mean, it is amazing, isn't it? For only £25 - £35,
0:30:42 > 0:30:44you can buy very nice quality,
0:30:44 > 0:30:47solid wood and cool little tables, like that.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49OK, Charles. Well, that's promising.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51I've a funny feeling that overall,
0:30:51 > 0:30:53the team are going to do OK,
0:30:53 > 0:30:54they may not need the bonus buy,
0:30:54 > 0:30:57but let's go and have a look at it anyway!
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Now, Carolyn and Clark, this is fun, isn't it?
0:31:00 > 0:31:02You spent a miserable £67...
0:31:02 > 0:31:04LAUGHTER
0:31:04 > 0:31:08..and you gave £233 to Anita,
0:31:08 > 0:31:10which is a fortune.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Well, this is BARGAIN Hunt, isn't it? ANITA LAUGHS
0:31:14 > 0:31:16So we were looking for bargains, that's what we went for.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19- We went with the ethos of the programme.- Yes!
0:31:19 > 0:31:21OK, I take it on board.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25Anyway, you gave the wee girl £233.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Anita, what did you buy?
0:31:27 > 0:31:30Well, we had the greatest of times.
0:31:30 > 0:31:31We had great fun,
0:31:31 > 0:31:34but I wanted to buy something
0:31:34 > 0:31:37sophisticated and elegant
0:31:37 > 0:31:38for Carolyn and Clark.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40And I bought...
0:31:41 > 0:31:45..a nice little pair of hallmark silver
0:31:45 > 0:31:47toast racks.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51They were made in Sheffield, by Viners, in 1932
0:31:51 > 0:31:55and they do have that Art Deco look about them.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59And I think that they're very, very sweet indeed.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01What do you think?
0:32:01 > 0:32:03I think...
0:32:03 > 0:32:05You know, everyone eats toast, don't they?
0:32:05 > 0:32:06Somebody eats it every single day,
0:32:06 > 0:32:09so I think it'd be a good item in that respect.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11You know, and people can have their toast in luxury.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Do think they'd make a profit? How much do you think they'll make?
0:32:16 > 0:32:18I paid £80 - it wasn't cheap,
0:32:18 > 0:32:20but I think that they're so attractive,
0:32:20 > 0:32:23they will be appealing to the bidders
0:32:23 > 0:32:25and I think that we have
0:32:25 > 0:32:28the chance of a small profit.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Well, you don't decide now,
0:32:30 > 0:32:32but for the audience at home,
0:32:32 > 0:32:34let's find out what the auctioneer thinks
0:32:34 > 0:32:36about Anita's little toast racks.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40OK, Charles. Something for the breakfast tray in the morning.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43- I think they're very nice. - Aren't they?- Titchy toast, however.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45Titchy toast, but for aristocrats,
0:32:45 > 0:32:48- they never used to eat much in the way of large slices.- And no crusts.
0:32:48 > 0:32:49No crusts, cut off. Perfect.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Quite right, quite right.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53Tim, I think they're just charming.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55We know they're Sheffield, 1932.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Impressively, they're three and a half ounces.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59They're chunky, they're a nice gauge. How much?
0:32:59 > 0:33:03Tim, again, our guide price on them will be between £40 and £60.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06OK, £80 Anita paid for these.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09I think she rated them because they're a pair
0:33:09 > 0:33:11and they've got a good weight.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13Yeah. I have a sneaky suspicion
0:33:13 > 0:33:15they could make up to £100.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18- Yeah, bit risky though, isn't it, buying them at 80?- Yeah, it is.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20- It all depends on the fall of the hammer, right?- It does, Tim.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23It does, Charles. Thank you very much.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28Online, bid me 620 now, it's so rare...
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Well, girls, this is exciting, isn't it?
0:33:33 > 0:33:34Liz, are you feeling shifty?
0:33:34 > 0:33:37- Don't know.- Don't know? Very coy, girls.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39OK, kids. Here we go.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42First item, the bracelet. Here it is.
0:33:42 > 0:33:43Showing it for you there.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45A very nice silver charm bracelet.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47And I'm bid, straight in,
0:33:47 > 0:33:50I've got 25, 28, 30...

0:34:16 > 0:34:18- Oh, no.- I've got you.- Oh, no.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20- Gone!- Lucky Hornblower.
0:34:20 > 0:34:21Minus £5.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23There's a sheet of Bronco in there.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25£5, OK.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28- Now, Moorcroft. - A very nice Moorcroft dish.
0:34:28 > 0:34:29There we are, look at that.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31In wonderful condition
0:34:31 > 0:34:32and I'm only bid for the Moorcroft...

0:34:43 > 0:34:45all done at £40.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47- Oh, Liz, I can't bear it.- 45?
0:34:47 > 0:34:4945? He's 50...
0:34:49 > 0:34:50- Look at me.- Go on, yes!
0:34:50 > 0:34:52Are you sure? Not one more?
0:34:52 > 0:34:54You've come so far! No.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56At £45...
0:34:56 > 0:34:59£45 is minus £15,
0:34:59 > 0:35:00which is neither here nor there.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03Which is, overall, you're minus 20.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06Now, let's make £20 profit on this and wipe our faces.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09The sugar dome silver cover and collar,
0:35:09 > 0:35:13I'm only bid here 18, 25, 28, 30,
0:35:13 > 0:35:14I'm asking 2...
0:35:14 > 0:35:1732, 5... Miss White, 38.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19I've got you. 40!
0:35:19 > 0:35:21Yeah, you're in profit. You're in profit.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24Come on, we need another £20 here, it's got to make £68.
0:35:24 > 0:35:25Look at me!

0:35:31 > 0:35:34we are with Miss White and I shall sell
0:35:34 > 0:35:38at £42 today.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41Plus £4 means you're minus 16.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43Which is nothing, is it? Minus £16.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45That could easily be a winning score.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48You could park £16 as a minus,
0:35:48 > 0:35:51or you could go with a toy stove,
0:35:51 > 0:35:54where you're going to be risking, for a biscuit, £50.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56- What's it going to be?- I say stick.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Go with the stove? Or stick?
0:35:58 > 0:36:00I say go.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02Well, you'd better have a debate, you two.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04You're friends at the moment.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07- I'll listen to the boss. We'll stick.- Will you?
0:36:07 > 0:36:09You're not going with the bonus buy,
0:36:09 > 0:36:11but that decision having been made,
0:36:11 > 0:36:13we're going to sell the stove anyway...
0:36:13 > 0:36:15and here it comes!
0:36:15 > 0:36:17A late-Victorian tin-plate toy stove,
0:36:17 > 0:36:20probably circa 1890.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22Where do we start?
0:36:22 > 0:36:23I'm only bid £10,
0:36:23 > 0:36:26I'm asking 12 now, what a wonderful lot.
0:36:26 > 0:36:2710, I am bid.

0:36:34 > 0:36:3618, bid 20.

0:36:44 > 0:36:46Well done, Liz. You made the right decision.
0:36:46 > 0:36:492 off 20, which is minus 32.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51- But you didn't go with it, right? - No.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54You preserved your losses at only minus £16,
0:36:54 > 0:36:56which could be a winning score.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58Don't say a word to the Blues
0:36:58 > 0:37:01and all will be revealed in a moment.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03Thank you very much.

0:37:16 > 0:37:17I think, the VW camper van.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19I don't think you should have bought that one.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22Oh, I'm quite confident with that, I think that's a good thing.
0:37:22 > 0:37:23I'm glad I bought that one.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26Out of the three...
0:37:26 > 0:37:27it's the tables.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30It was probably my only reservation.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33Well, who knows? It's the toss of a coin at the end of the day, isn't it?
0:37:33 > 0:37:34It certainly is.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37OK, first item is the VW van
0:37:37 > 0:37:38and here it comes.
