0:00:19 > 0:00:23So, let's go bargain hunting, yeah!

0:00:51 > 0:00:55Palatial and architecturally magnificent,

0:00:55 > 0:01:02Alexandra Palace today is home to antique and pop-up vintage stalls.

0:01:02 > 0:01:04In fact, 100 of them.

0:01:04 > 0:01:05But our teams, of course,

0:01:05 > 0:01:10only get the usual £300 and an hour to bag three items.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13Let's have a quick preview as to what's coming up.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16- The Reds have a smashing time... - ..in gold.- In gold?

0:01:16 > 0:01:18CRASH Ooh!

0:01:18 > 0:01:21A Minton lid has gone.

0:01:21 > 0:01:24- That would be a breakage. - We're going to have to buy it.

0:01:24 > 0:01:27That would be a breakage. I'm so sorry, sir.

0:01:27 > 0:01:33- ..whilst zee Bleus work their French charm.- Alors, ca, c'est combien?

0:01:33 > 0:01:38- Tout l'ensemble?- Tout l'ensemble? - Oui.- 65.- Ah, non. C'est trop.

0:01:38 > 0:01:44- But who will be the ultimate victor at auction?- Come on, baby...

0:01:44 > 0:01:46- Oh, it's brilliant! - Let's meet the teams.

0:01:48 > 0:01:53Well, on Bargain Hunt today, we are keeping it all in the family

0:01:53 > 0:01:58because, for the Reds, we have Sarah and her grandfather Freddie

0:01:58 > 0:02:04and, for the Blues, we have Sarah and her mother-in-law Sue.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07- Welcome, everybody. Hello. - ALL: Hello.- Lovely to see you.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10- Now, Sarah.- Hello. - What do you do for a job of work?

0:02:10 > 0:02:13- I am an HR assistant in the motor industry.- Are you?- Yes.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15What does that mean?

0:02:15 > 0:02:20I provide HR to about 600 employees for a European head office.

0:02:20 > 0:02:24- Do you really?- Yes.- That's a big old job, though, isn't it? 600 people.

0:02:24 > 0:02:27Yes, and that's just permanent people so we have lot of contractors

0:02:27 > 0:02:30- and temps.- Gosh.- So it's a busy job.

0:02:30 > 0:02:33- It says here that you're incredibly fit.- Ooh.- Ooh?- A little bit.

0:02:33 > 0:02:34What do you mean, a little bit?

0:02:34 > 0:02:36Do you like to go running? What do you like to do?

0:02:36 > 0:02:38I run to my grandad's a couple of times a week.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40He lives about a mile away so I do a two-mile run.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42- Yes.- Three times a week, I would say.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44Freddie, you were once upon a time

0:02:44 > 0:02:47one of the Magnificent Nine bus drivers.

0:02:47 > 0:02:51I was one of the first one-man bus drivers in High Wycombe.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53There was nine of us

0:02:53 > 0:02:59and it was at a time when the company was trying to save a bit of money.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01- Surprise, surprise.- Yes.

0:03:01 > 0:03:06And it turned out to be quite a nice job, but we had to stay together

0:03:06 > 0:03:11- because some of the lads wasn't all that keen on it at the time.- No.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13- And so...- They'd pick on you, would they?

0:03:13 > 0:03:18- Not, I wouldn't say, pick on us. You know...- They weren't happy.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21It was a bit dodgy at the time, but they got over it

0:03:21 > 0:03:24and that's how we called ourselves the Magnificent Nine.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27How many years did you drive the buses for, then?

0:03:27 > 0:03:31I was conductor for three and a half years, driver three and a half years.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33So that was seven in London

0:03:33 > 0:03:37and then I drove the bus for 25 years in High Wycombe.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40Now, why are you two going to make such a great team today?

0:03:40 > 0:03:44Is it going to be youthful enthusiasm with age and experience?

0:03:44 > 0:03:48Well, I think we'll beat the Blues, so I'd say no more. THEY LAUGH

0:03:48 > 0:03:50Oh, right. That determined, are you?

0:03:51 > 0:03:54- You happy with that, Sarah? - Yes, happy with that.- OK, fine.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57Anyway, very good luck. So, Blues.

0:03:57 > 0:04:00Tell me, Sarah, how long have you known your mother-in-law for?

0:04:00 > 0:04:02- I've known Sue for 16 years. - Have you?

0:04:02 > 0:04:05- How long have you been married for? - I've been married for nine.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07So there's a big old gap there.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10- Is that the longest engagement in northern Europe?- Seven years.

0:04:10 > 0:04:15- Seven years you were engaged!- Yes. - What was going wrong?- Erm...

0:04:15 > 0:04:18I was just weighing it up with regards to my mother-in-law.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20- If she'd be suitable or not. - Exactly. Yes.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23So you thought a good few years and you looked at her

0:04:23 > 0:04:26- and you thought, in the end, she'll do.- I'll commit, she'll do.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28- And you committed.- Yes, I committed. - All right, lovely.

0:04:28 > 0:04:33- Now, you've got a baby.- Yes, Joshua. - Josh, how old's he?- 16 months.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36- Is he trouble?- No, he's lovely. - Is he?- He's a joy.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38- Oh, isn't that sweet? - He's a very good baby.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41Now, Sue, it says here that you're a retired teacher.

0:04:41 > 0:04:46Yes, a long time ago, but, yes, I taught French for 31 years.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49- You never did! That is perfect, isn't it?- Yes.

0:04:49 > 0:04:50Yes, it was great fun.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53Took lots of exchanges abroad.

0:04:53 > 0:04:57And had a few adventures taking kids across Paris on the underground.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00- Losing a few here...- Just a few, yes.- ..losing a few there.

0:05:00 > 0:05:04- A few nervous breakdowns.- Yeah, no, great. Now, you're retired.- Yes.

0:05:04 > 0:05:08- What do you get up to? - Oh, it's permanent holiday, Tim.

0:05:08 > 0:05:12Mainly bowling because I'm quite sporty and it's a marvellous sport.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15- I recommend it to anybody. - And it's very social, isn't it?

0:05:15 > 0:05:18- Incredibly so.- Yeah. - You meet thousands of people.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20And they're all good fun, they're all out to have a good time.

0:05:20 > 0:05:22You clearly get on splendidly, you two.

0:05:22 > 0:05:25- Are you going to make a great team? - We are indeed.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28- Are you going to lash up these Reds? - Oh, yes.- Oh, yes.

0:05:28 > 0:05:33- Blue army.- OK, fine. We'll come to the money moment now. £300 apiece.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35- There's your £300.- Thank you. - £300. You know the rules.

0:05:35 > 0:05:40Your experts await and off you go. Very, very, very good luck.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42Gosh, what fun we're going to have today.

0:05:46 > 0:05:48Now, let's meet our experts.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52Here to keep the Reds on the rails is Kate Bliss.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57And ready to milk some profit for the Blues is David Harper.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05Oh, my gosh, I can't believe it. Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

0:06:05 > 0:06:08- Yes, yes, yes.- Do we get on well? - Well, that's questionable, David.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10Oh, my gosh!

0:06:10 > 0:06:12Sarah and Freddie, this is a fantastic location.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14What are you going to be looking for?

0:06:14 > 0:06:18- A bargain. A big bargain.- A big bargain. That sounds great, Freddie.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20- We're looking for something unusual and exciting.- Oh, wow.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23- Sounds like you.- A little bit. - SHE LAUGHS

0:06:23 > 0:06:26- A little bit of vintage. - Good. Good combination.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28- 60 minutes starts now, let's go. - Let's find it.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31- What about you, Sarah?- Something that's really high-quality.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33We don't want any tat. We don't want anything that's chipped.

0:06:33 > 0:06:35We want something in really pristine condition.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38- Wonderful. Let's get at it. - Let's go.

0:06:38 > 0:06:42Right, teams. Your 60 minutes starts now.

0:06:42 > 0:06:44BELL RINGS

0:06:50 > 0:06:52Ooh, that's lovely, Freddie.

0:06:52 > 0:06:56It's a leather field case with fitted silver-plated sandwich box

0:06:56 > 0:07:01and two glass flasks with silver-plated stoppers. Around 1920.

0:07:01 > 0:07:03- Nearly as old as you. - THEY LAUGH

0:07:03 > 0:07:05Cheeky!

0:07:05 > 0:07:09- I like that.- You tell her, Freddie. - It is lovely, Freddie.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Do you know what...?- Do you like it?- It's... Yes, pop it on there.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15So you've got a sandwich box

0:07:15 > 0:07:17- on the inside, there. - Do you like it?- It's lovely.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20It's silver-plated rather than silver.

0:07:20 > 0:07:24- Oh, it's silver-plated, not solid silver.- Not solid silver.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26Is that for sandwiches?

0:07:26 > 0:07:29- Yes.- Not very big.- Or, do you know what they used to have?

0:07:29 > 0:07:33Gentlemen, who took a travelling case like this,

0:07:33 > 0:07:35used to have sandwiches,

0:07:35 > 0:07:38but very often they'd take a slab of fruitcake

0:07:38 > 0:07:42because the dried fruit would be really sustaining

0:07:42 > 0:07:44and would be better than sandwiches.

0:07:44 > 0:07:49- OK.- But I think this is more of a luxury item for the gentry.

0:07:49 > 0:07:51- Do you like it? - I really like it, yeah.

0:07:51 > 0:07:57What I like is, you've got the cork in the top there which seals it up.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00The tops are obviously original. They fit really well.

0:08:00 > 0:08:04Considering it's 1920, it's in good condition.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06You've got the original strap there,

0:08:06 > 0:08:10the original leather-covered buckle which is rather nice.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12The price seems a bit high, don't it?

0:08:12 > 0:08:18At auction, I can see it doing anything from...worst scenario, £60,

0:08:18 > 0:08:21to best scenario, it might make £100.

0:08:21 > 0:08:25You've got 95 on the ticket, madam. What would be your very best?

0:08:25 > 0:08:27- I'd do 80 and that would be it. - You'd do 80.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30You wouldn't take 75, would you? STALLHOLDER: 80.

0:08:30 > 0:08:3180.

0:08:33 > 0:08:37- What do you think? Should we take a chance?- Shall we? You decide.

0:08:37 > 0:08:42- Shall we?- I think go for it.- Yeah. OK.- We'll go for it.- £80.- Done. Deal.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45- OK, we're done. - That was quick work, Reds.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48Only five minutes in, and the first item is in the bag.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51With any luck, that travel case will take you far.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56Now, it seems Sue has found a French stall

0:08:56 > 0:08:58and can brush up her language skills.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00Do it in French.

0:09:00 > 0:09:05- Alors, ca, c'est combien? Tout l'ensemble?- Tout l'ensemble?- Oui.- 65.

0:09:05 > 0:09:06Ah, non. C'est trop.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08To you and me, "That's too much dosh."

0:09:08 > 0:09:11- 58.- 58, non. C'est toujours...

0:09:11 > 0:09:12Sorry, are you speaking Martian?

0:09:12 > 0:09:14Non, non, c'est francais.

0:09:14 > 0:09:16OK. What are these pots representing?

0:09:16 > 0:09:23So that's...sugar, flour, coffee, spices, tea and pepper.

0:09:23 > 0:09:25You know what's nice about that? It is complete.

0:09:25 > 0:09:28You've got that French chic-ness to it. You've got the Art Deco feel.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31- Sarah, what are your thoughts? - I like it. What's, erm...

0:09:31 > 0:09:34- What's the price?- STALLHOLDER: 65.

0:09:34 > 0:09:38Any room for...? I mean, after the French, I mean, come on.

0:09:38 > 0:09:39I think she said 50.

0:09:39 > 0:09:44- Yeah, fif... SUE: But that's still a bit dear.- 50, yeah.- Not 50.

0:09:44 > 0:09:47- I said 58.- Shall we have a look at one of them?

0:09:47 > 0:09:50Let me just collect the coffee.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53We're looking at an Art Deco shape. Probably '40s.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55- It's Second World War-ish, isn't it?- Yes.

0:09:55 > 0:09:56And they're not the best quality.

0:09:56 > 0:09:59You're not buying quality, you're buying the style.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01And if you look at the decoration, they're transfers.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03The kind of thing, as a kid, you'd put on your arm.

0:10:03 > 0:10:05- OK.- So they're never going to be great quality.

0:10:05 > 0:10:08- They've just got the look.- OK.- Yes. They're quite charming.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10Are they worth the £58?

0:10:10 > 0:10:14- I would go 55.- Yeah, 55.- Deal, 55?

0:10:14 > 0:10:16- Deal.- Oh, la, la!

0:10:16 > 0:10:20Now the Blues also have an item under their belts.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22And we're just ten minutes into the shop.

0:10:30 > 0:10:37- You don't like that, surely?- Don't you like that, Freddie?- No. Oh, no!

0:10:37 > 0:10:41- Please.- Gladstone bag.- If I had that, I'd put it in the bin.- Would you?

0:10:41 > 0:10:42You speak your mind, Freddie.

0:10:42 > 0:10:46- Do you not want to know the price on this, Freddie?- How much is it?

0:10:46 > 0:10:48- HE GASPS - 95.- Same price as the thing we just bought.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50Would you still put it in the bin?

0:10:52 > 0:10:54It's not my cup of tea. Is it yours?

0:10:54 > 0:10:57I wouldn't go on holiday with it, no.

0:10:57 > 0:11:00It's a Gladstone bag and the thing about Gladstone bags

0:11:00 > 0:11:04is they open up very wide. They've got a framework on them.

0:11:04 > 0:11:08I love it, myself, but I think 95 is a bit expensive. So let's move on.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11- OK.- Yeah. I don't like it anyway.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13Seems Freddie has some strong likes and dislikes.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15Best try something else, Kate.

0:11:21 > 0:11:24Let's just have a little look. Is it Dinky underneath? Yes, here we go.

0:11:24 > 0:11:28- Dinky...- It's not a thing I would buy myself.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30- You know.- Liverpool. - I can't see that making any profit.

0:11:30 > 0:11:35- You can't see that?- No.- Your enthusiasm's killing me, Freddie.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38- Let's put it back for now.- Yeah, we may...- There's plenty to look at.

0:11:38 > 0:11:39We may have to come back.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46- Are they silver?- No, they'll be plated.- Oh, right.

0:11:46 > 0:11:48- Are you two quite romantic? - A little bit.

0:11:48 > 0:11:50Can I show you something that I think is quite romantic?

0:11:50 > 0:11:53Can I have a look inside that box? Would you mind?

0:11:53 > 0:11:56- The little box there, little enamel box.- I did spot that.- It's pretty.

0:11:56 > 0:11:59Isn't that just absolutely lovely?

0:11:59 > 0:12:03- A present from Leominster.- Yes. - So it's a novelty gift.

0:12:03 > 0:12:05- Have a look.- Oh, and it has a mirror!- It has a mirror.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08- Is it for patches or something? - Yes, it's a patch box.

0:12:08 > 0:12:10And you can tell the different between a patch box

0:12:10 > 0:12:13and a pill box because of the mirror.

0:12:13 > 0:12:16- Yes.- So, if it's for pills, you don't need a mirror.- I love it.

0:12:16 > 0:12:19There's a little bit of romance behind the idea of patches.

0:12:19 > 0:12:22The patch would be placed strategically on a lady's face

0:12:22 > 0:12:23depending on her mood.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26And depending on whether she was single, engaged,

0:12:26 > 0:12:29- looking for a husband, looking for fun...- I didn't know.

0:12:29 > 0:12:32And the patches came in all different shapes and sizes

0:12:32 > 0:12:35and if you placed a little spot, a little patch, here,

0:12:35 > 0:12:38it might indicate that you were...

0:12:38 > 0:12:42possibly available. I think it's late 18th, early 19th century.

0:12:42 > 0:12:46So that might well have been around the time of the Napoleonic Wars.

0:12:46 > 0:12:49Chipped and damaged, obviously affects it.

0:12:49 > 0:12:53And they were made in quite big numbers. Is that priced at 30?

0:12:54 > 0:12:56- I'm afraid that says 38. - It looks like 30 to me.

0:12:56 > 0:12:59- It looks like 30 to me. - I should think we can do it for 30.

0:12:59 > 0:13:00- Would be the best on it. - Better be sure.

0:13:00 > 0:13:04You might get a trickle of profit. You might.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06Well, how about 25?

0:13:06 > 0:13:09I'll do it for 28, but that's going to be it. Because it's a rare object.

0:13:09 > 0:13:1026?

0:13:12 > 0:13:1327 and that's it.

0:13:13 > 0:13:17- 27 for a Georgian patch box?- Yes. - Is it ours?- Yes!- Is that ours?

0:13:17 > 0:13:21- So I can throw it in the air and celebrate.- Yes, 27, deal.- Thank you.

0:13:21 > 0:13:23Well done, Blues. That's two items down.

0:13:23 > 0:13:26At this rate, the Reds won't be a PATCH on this team.

0:13:30 > 0:13:31How do you get the money out?

0:13:31 > 0:13:33Oh, is there some money in there?

0:13:34 > 0:13:37I don't know how you get it out though. You'd have to smash it.

0:13:37 > 0:13:39It's like one of those Terramundi things

0:13:39 > 0:13:40where you have to smash them out...

0:13:40 > 0:13:42Yes, careful how you put that down, Kate.

0:13:44 > 0:13:46- Can we get anything in gold?- In gold?

0:13:46 > 0:13:47- CRASH Ooh!- Oops! Oh, no.

0:13:47 > 0:13:51- What's happened? - A Minton lid has gone.

0:13:51 > 0:13:54- That would be a breakage. - We're going to have to buy it.

0:13:54 > 0:13:58- That would be a breakage. I'm so sorry, sir.- Oh, no. Poor Sarah.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01- Looks like an insurance claim for us.- It would have to be me.

0:14:01 > 0:14:04- Oh, I'm so sorry!- Well, it looked as though it was all stuck on.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06No, it wasn't stuck on.

0:14:06 > 0:14:10As a tip, in future, when you pick up vases, just take the lid off first.

0:14:10 > 0:14:13Good tip, sir. Now, I have a question for you.

0:14:15 > 0:14:20Do you ever fancy buying a piece of history for yourself?

0:14:20 > 0:14:24In a plastic envelope, I've found these three photographs

0:14:24 > 0:14:27and this shot shows an occasion

0:14:27 > 0:14:30which is clearly of national importance.

0:14:30 > 0:14:34We've got a senior military man here, who could be a Field Marshall.

0:14:34 > 0:14:39I don't know. He's got a great stripe running up his trouser leg.

0:14:39 > 0:14:43But the character I can recognise, behind in the second row,

0:14:43 > 0:14:46is Lord Louis Mountbatten.

0:14:46 > 0:14:52Cousin to the Queen and, of course, at one time, Admiral of the Fleet.

0:14:52 > 0:14:57The senior military men are all wearing black armbands.

0:14:57 > 0:15:00So this could be a moment that commemorates

0:15:00 > 0:15:03a funeral of a famous personage.

0:15:04 > 0:15:09Bit more research required on that. But extremely interesting.

0:15:09 > 0:15:13The photograph in the frame is much easier to identify.

0:15:13 > 0:15:16It is, of course, Edward, Prince of Wales.

0:15:16 > 0:15:20And if you look very carefully, down in this right-hand corner,

0:15:20 > 0:15:26it says, "Copyright Canada 1919."

0:15:26 > 0:15:27This is the moment

0:15:27 > 0:15:32when Edward went on a tour around the world to the dominions

0:15:32 > 0:15:34and colonies, basically to say

0:15:34 > 0:15:37thank you very much for the sacrifice and contribution

0:15:37 > 0:15:42that all those countries made to the Great War in supporting Great Britain.

0:15:42 > 0:15:45And at this moment, he's visiting the dominion of Canada.

0:15:45 > 0:15:50He, of course, became King Edward VIII but, tragically,

0:15:50 > 0:15:52only for one year.

0:15:52 > 0:15:54Because he abdicated.

0:15:54 > 0:15:59And when he abdicated in 1936, just before Christmas,

0:15:59 > 0:16:03it was because of this woman, Mrs Wallace Simpson.

0:16:03 > 0:16:06And we see her in a photograph that's dated on, the back,

0:16:06 > 0:16:099th of the 9th, 1945.

0:16:09 > 0:16:13We see her in this original photograph, seated

0:16:13 > 0:16:19in a society pose, if you like, unusually not wearing white gloves.

0:16:19 > 0:16:23Nearly all the photographs of the Duchess of Windsor

0:16:23 > 0:16:26are with her wearing white gloves. Why?

0:16:26 > 0:16:31Because she had the hands that resembled the hands of a man.

0:16:31 > 0:16:34And she didn't like that and she liked to cover them up.

0:16:34 > 0:16:38So, quite fun to find a photograph of her without gloves on.

0:16:40 > 0:16:45The final photograph in my quartet is of the Duke himself,

0:16:45 > 0:16:50seated in 1941. It says on the back, July the 20th, 1941.

0:16:50 > 0:16:54Somewhere on July the 20th 1941, the Duke of Windsor

0:16:54 > 0:16:56was governor of the Bahamas.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59He was sent to the Bahamas to get him out of the way

0:16:59 > 0:17:02and transported there in 1940

0:17:02 > 0:17:05for the duration of the Second World War.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07The Duke of Windsor liked to smoke his pipe,

0:17:07 > 0:17:09and there he is, smoking his pipe.

0:17:09 > 0:17:14He also loved little dogs, latterly pug dogs,

0:17:14 > 0:17:19but here he seems to have some Highland terriers snapping about.

0:17:19 > 0:17:22Probably because he's about to give them a Good Boy Choc Choc Drop.

0:17:23 > 0:17:28So, here in Ally Pally, three photographs would cost you £25

0:17:28 > 0:17:33and the framed photograph, the genuine Canadian 1919 one,

0:17:33 > 0:17:36could be yours for a similar sum.

0:17:36 > 0:17:39What might they be worth if you sold them

0:17:39 > 0:17:43in an auction that was related particularly to royal memorabilia?

0:17:43 > 0:17:46I don't know. I should think you might double your money.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48And that's fair enough, isn't it?

0:17:48 > 0:17:50Now, back to the shopping.

0:17:50 > 0:17:52It's two-one up to the Blues

0:17:52 > 0:17:55and the Reds have found a rather nice silver box.

0:17:55 > 0:17:56You've got a bit of class there.

0:17:56 > 0:17:59You have got a bit of class, but you have also got

0:17:59 > 0:18:04- quite a hefty price tag. - Ooh, hoo hoo! Oh my... Oh.- 195.

0:18:06 > 0:18:09You'd drop down a lot from that price, would you, my darling?

0:18:09 > 0:18:14- I'm starting to flap a bit.- Don't flap.- Yeah, don't flap, Freddie.

0:18:14 > 0:18:16I think he's worried about spending too much.

0:18:16 > 0:18:19Meanwhile, the Blues have spotted a perfume bottle.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22STALLHOLDER: This one's a genuine R Lalique, an early one.

0:18:22 > 0:18:23Is that signed?

0:18:23 > 0:18:26- He never signed the early ones. - Didn't he?- No.

0:18:26 > 0:18:28He just used to do them, take the labels as well.

0:18:28 > 0:18:31But you can always tell it's one of his by the tops.

0:18:31 > 0:18:34As far as I know, all Lalique pieces,

0:18:34 > 0:18:38every Lalique I've ever owned has been signed.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40I'm with you on that top. It's very Lalique.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43It's that frosted, kind of glazed over.

0:18:43 > 0:18:45The bottle itself, I would say, isn't Lalique.

0:18:45 > 0:18:48It's just a piece of pressed glass. But how much is it? Is it cheap?

0:18:48 > 0:18:50£30.

0:18:50 > 0:18:53If that's Rene Lalique and it's 1930s,

0:18:53 > 0:18:55it's worth much more than £30.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58If it isn't Rene Lalique and we're wrong,

0:18:58 > 0:19:00which we can be, it's worth three quid.

0:19:02 > 0:19:05If you can get £3 off somebody.

0:19:05 > 0:19:08Oh, ho. Over to you two.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10- Here.- You're the perfume girl.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13- You wouldn't want to spend a lot on it though.- No. Maybe a tenner?

0:19:14 > 0:19:18- £10? No, I couldn't do £10.- What's you best deal?- 25 would be the best.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20Ooh.

0:19:20 > 0:19:21It might get bids to a fiver.

0:19:23 > 0:19:28Or someone might believe it's Lalique and it might make 50-70.

0:19:28 > 0:19:33- Willing to go 20, definitely.- Yeah, go on, then. £20.- You've done a deal.

0:19:33 > 0:19:35- A deal. Yep.- OK.

0:19:35 > 0:19:37Well done.

0:19:37 > 0:19:40Very interesting. Very interesting.

0:19:40 > 0:19:43- Right in time too. Three distinctly different things.- Superb.

0:19:43 > 0:19:47I'm going to treat you two to the best cup of tea you've ever had.

0:19:47 > 0:19:50- You're on.- Congratulations, Blues. All three items bought.

0:19:50 > 0:19:53But the Reds still have two more purchases to make

0:19:53 > 0:19:55and there's just ten minutes left.

0:19:55 > 0:19:59- I quite like that piece.- Now, that is something a little bit different.

0:19:59 > 0:20:05We've got a lovely name on there. Do you see that? W Ottway and Co Ltd.

0:20:05 > 0:20:10Ealing, London. So not far from here. 1915, which is rather nice.

0:20:10 > 0:20:14In lovely condition. Have a little look, Freddie. See what you can spy.

0:20:19 > 0:20:20I can't see nothing.

0:20:22 > 0:20:26- Oh, I can see a bargain over there. - Good spot, Sarah. So can I.

0:20:26 > 0:20:30- Ooh, over there? - I can see through it, yeah.- Can you?

0:20:30 > 0:20:35- It probably doesn't help that you've got glasses on.- No.- No.

0:20:35 > 0:20:37- What do you think of it? - I really like it.

0:20:37 > 0:20:42I like the engraved piece there and I think it's a really unusual piece.

0:20:42 > 0:20:44Originally, of course, it would have been

0:20:44 > 0:20:46in a leather case which is missing.

0:20:46 > 0:20:51But I have to say, despite the lack of case, it's in super condition.

0:20:51 > 0:20:56Very often, I mean, it's a practical thing. It was made to be used.

0:20:56 > 0:21:01- And you haven't got any major dents or wear in there.- No.- No.

0:21:01 > 0:21:05- It's in nice condition.- Mm.- How much is it?- Well, the price tag's 65.

0:21:05 > 0:21:07- Not bad.- Let's just see what the gentleman will do.

0:21:07 > 0:21:10- What's your very best on that, sir?- 55.

0:21:10 > 0:21:14- 55.- Hurry up, Reds. The clock is ticking.

0:21:14 > 0:21:17I think it's quite a good quality.

0:21:17 > 0:21:21And I don't think the price is too bad.

0:21:21 > 0:21:23- Could you go a little bit more for us?- How about...

0:21:23 > 0:21:26- We've got to put it into auction. What do you think, Sarah?- 50?

0:21:26 > 0:21:28OK, 50, then.

0:21:28 > 0:21:31If it hadn't got the name on it, I think 50 would be expensive.

0:21:31 > 0:21:34But because it's got the manufacturer,

0:21:34 > 0:21:37the retailer's name, and we've got Ealing, London on there

0:21:37 > 0:21:41- and a nice date there for 1915. - And it's in quite good condition.

0:21:41 > 0:21:42I think it's in great condition.

0:21:42 > 0:21:45Just before we do the deal, what else have we got on here?

0:21:45 > 0:21:46Because we are tight for time.

0:21:46 > 0:21:50- Let's try and double up. - So that's a possible maybe.

0:21:50 > 0:21:52You need to make a decision.

0:21:52 > 0:21:53We've got little Danish...

0:21:53 > 0:21:57Little Danish salts and pepper if you like that sort of thing.

0:21:57 > 0:21:59Ooh, they are nice. Can I have a little look at those?

0:21:59 > 0:22:02- Yeah, of course. - You wanted silver, Freddie, Sarah.

0:22:02 > 0:22:05This is silver, but it's Danish silver.

0:22:05 > 0:22:11- And what we've got are a salt and a pepper.- How unusual.

0:22:11 > 0:22:15- Can you see the holes in the top? - Yeah.- You have that one, Freddie.

0:22:15 > 0:22:18Now, the reason I know they're Danish is because on the bottom

0:22:18 > 0:22:23here, we have got 925

0:22:23 > 0:22:27which is the standard for Sterling Silver.

0:22:27 > 0:22:33- It stands for 925 parts of silver per thousand parts of alloy.- OK.

0:22:33 > 0:22:36So Sterling standard and beautifully enamelled.

0:22:36 > 0:22:40This enamel, or liquid glass if you like,

0:22:40 > 0:22:42has been overlaid on the silver.

0:22:42 > 0:22:45But before they did that, the silver's been engraved

0:22:45 > 0:22:47to give this lovely pattern underneath.

0:22:47 > 0:22:49- You see, they've got a bit of a shimmer.- Absolutely.

0:22:49 > 0:22:53- Shall we just check the condition on that one?- Yes.- Let me just have a little look.

0:22:53 > 0:22:56Ah, now that's got a wee bit of damage down here.

0:22:56 > 0:22:59- Ah, OK.- Do you see that? Where it's gone orange.

0:22:59 > 0:23:02So the enamel's just slightly damaged on there.

0:23:02 > 0:23:04But the good thing is, it's at the bottom

0:23:04 > 0:23:07- so when this is standing on the table...- You wouldn't notice it.

0:23:07 > 0:23:08You don't notice it so much.

0:23:08 > 0:23:11If it was at the top, here, it would really shout at you.

0:23:11 > 0:23:15What...could you do if we took the two?

0:23:15 > 0:23:19- Bearing in mind that one is damaged on the bottom there.- Yeah.

0:23:19 > 0:23:22Er... Very best for the pair would be 90.

0:23:22 > 0:23:27So if these are 90, the telescope's 50, that's 140. You happy with that?

0:23:27 > 0:23:31- Yes.- I think so.- I'm just... I'm happy with that, I'm just...

0:23:31 > 0:23:34£90.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37Because they're damaged, you can just do another fiver on those?

0:23:37 > 0:23:38Just for us?

0:23:38 > 0:23:42- 85?- Yes, OK.- Yes, so that's 135. - Would you? Wonderful.

0:23:42 > 0:23:46- Freddie's in there. It's a done deal.- Congratulations, Reds.

0:23:46 > 0:23:49It sure is a done deal, Kate. Because...

0:23:49 > 0:23:53Time's up. Let's remind ourselves what the red team bought, eh?

0:23:53 > 0:23:56They're hoping an early 20th-century leather travelling case

0:23:56 > 0:24:00may well take them a long way for £80.

0:24:00 > 0:24:05They focused £50 on this early 20th-century style brass telescope.

0:24:06 > 0:24:09And finally, this set of Danish metalware condiments

0:24:09 > 0:24:11was picked up for £85.

0:24:14 > 0:24:17- Well, that was something, wasn't it, Fred?- Very good.

0:24:17 > 0:24:20Right to the last minute. I don't know...

0:24:20 > 0:24:23- OK, so which is your favourite piece?- The leather case.

0:24:23 > 0:24:26- Sarah, what for you? - I like the salt and pepper.

0:24:26 > 0:24:29- Salt and pepper. Favourite. Is that going to bring the biggest profit? - I hope so.

0:24:29 > 0:24:32- Yeah. Do you agree with that, Fred-o?- No.- No.

0:24:32 > 0:24:35- I think the leather case will.- You're obsessed by that. Yeah, lovely.

0:24:35 > 0:24:39- Hope so, anyway.- Why not? And how much did you spend altogether?

0:24:39 > 0:24:42- 215.- £215.

0:24:42 > 0:24:44I'd like £85 of leftover lolly, please.

0:24:45 > 0:24:49- £85. You don't like passing this over much, do you?- No.

0:24:49 > 0:24:50No, not at all.

0:24:50 > 0:24:54- OK, fine. £85 goes straight over to KB.- Lovely.

0:24:54 > 0:24:57Kate, what are you doing to spend it on, darling?

0:24:57 > 0:24:58Might stick with something shiny.

0:25:00 > 0:25:03Really? You've got the mark of these two, haven't you?

0:25:03 > 0:25:05Anyway, relax up, team.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08Meanwhile, we're going to check out what the blue team bought, aren't we?

0:25:08 > 0:25:11A graduated set of six French kitchen containers

0:25:11 > 0:25:15was acquired for the culinary cost of £55.

0:25:16 > 0:25:21An 18th-century English enamel patch box cost them £27.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24And finally, a Lalique-style glass scent bottle

0:25:24 > 0:25:27was purchased for a fragrant 20.

0:25:27 > 0:25:29OK, Blues, we're cleared for landing.

0:25:29 > 0:25:32- Ne-yow... Lovely. - THEY LAUGH

0:25:32 > 0:25:35- Was it that much fun? - Teamwork, teamwork.- Teamwork!

0:25:35 > 0:25:37- Was it that much fun, Sarah? - It was great. Oh, yes.

0:25:37 > 0:25:39- Spending somebody else's money, eh? - It was brilliant.

0:25:39 > 0:25:44- With your mother-in-law?- Yes. - And DH.- Yes.- DH? Hello.

0:25:44 > 0:25:47OK, which is your favourite piece, Sarah, please.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49The Lalique, I think. The bottle.

0:25:49 > 0:25:52The Lalique bottle is your favourite. Um... Mother-in-law?

0:25:52 > 0:25:56- The patch box.- The patch box? - Yes. Lovely story.

0:25:56 > 0:25:58- And is that going to bring the biggest profit?- I hope so.

0:25:58 > 0:26:01What's your prediction for the biggest profit, Sarah?

0:26:01 > 0:26:04- Oh, I think it has to be the patch box.- The patch box?- Yes, definitely.

0:26:04 > 0:26:08- OK, fine. And you spent how much altogether?- £102.

0:26:08 > 0:26:13102, then I would like 198, please.

0:26:13 > 0:26:16From somebody. And...

0:26:16 > 0:26:17we're going to gather this together

0:26:17 > 0:26:20and pass it on to the ultimate shepherd of these things.

0:26:20 > 0:26:22What are you going to spend it on, David?

0:26:22 > 0:26:25Well, it's a bit scary. Look, they're all packing up, aren't they?

0:26:25 > 0:26:28- I'm got a lot of money so the pressure is on, you know.- OK, fine.

0:26:28 > 0:26:30Good luck, David. Good luck, girls.

0:26:30 > 0:26:33Meanwhile, we're going to head off, hotfoot, to the auction.

0:26:45 > 0:26:49So, we've trotted from central London out to Bedfordshire

0:26:49 > 0:26:52to the county town of Bedford,

0:26:52 > 0:26:56to Peacock's Auction Room to be with Lindsay Vintiner.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58- Lindsay, how lovely to see you. - And you too, Tim.

0:26:58 > 0:26:59Thank you for having us.

0:26:59 > 0:27:04Now, for our Reds today, their first item is this travelling case.

0:27:04 > 0:27:05Handsome leather-bound case.

0:27:05 > 0:27:11But I've got a question for you. What do you rate that thing as?

0:27:11 > 0:27:13Well, it's plated

0:27:13 > 0:27:17and you would expect to find your sandwiches in there.

0:27:17 > 0:27:21Erm, Mr Munnings, I suppose, would take this on a trip out

0:27:21 > 0:27:24when he's painting and he'll have his sandwiches

0:27:24 > 0:27:28and a few glasses of his favourite tipple in a travelling case.

0:27:28 > 0:27:31I'm not sure they're quite up to today's standard

0:27:31 > 0:27:32of sandwiches in scale.

0:27:32 > 0:27:35But, um...maybe cake. We'll go with cake.

0:27:35 > 0:27:40- So, how do you estimate a thing like that, Lindsay?- Well, we think 30-40.

0:27:40 > 0:27:44- Erm... It's nice quality and a good gentleman's piece.- Yeah.

0:27:44 > 0:27:48Yeah, no, I quite agree with you. Actually, they paid £80 for it.

0:27:48 > 0:27:51Freddie went perhaps a little over the top there.

0:27:51 > 0:27:56- Next up is the so-called three drawer telescope.- Yes.

0:27:56 > 0:28:00- That is not so hot, is it?- It's not, I'm afraid. It is fairly modern.

0:28:00 > 0:28:03The patine on it's not right. The inscription is all completely wrong.

0:28:03 > 0:28:05We think it's brand spanking new, I'm afraid, Tim.

0:28:05 > 0:28:09- What's it likely to be worth, Lindsay?- We think 15-25.

0:28:09 > 0:28:11- Ooh.- Fingers crossed.

0:28:11 > 0:28:13- Oof. £50 paid.- Right.

0:28:13 > 0:28:17So that could be a big problemo. Um...

0:28:17 > 0:28:21- And lastly, I have to say, very smart condiments.- Indeed, yes.

0:28:21 > 0:28:23- I like them. - They're great, aren't they?

0:28:23 > 0:28:26They're Danish, they're silver, they're enamelled. They're a great colour.

0:28:26 > 0:28:29Can imagine them on your Christmas dining table.

0:28:29 > 0:28:31They're just the right colours for it.

0:28:31 > 0:28:34- Erm...sadly the red one is damaged. - Little chip, yeah.

0:28:34 > 0:28:38It has got a chip out the enamel which is difficult to repair.

0:28:38 > 0:28:39But they're still lovely objects

0:28:39 > 0:28:42and the market is strong for this type of collectable.

0:28:42 > 0:28:47- How much, then, Lindsay? - 40-60.- 40-60. OK, they paid £85.

0:28:47 > 0:28:52Um... Just a tad too much on that. Way too much on the telescope

0:28:52 > 0:28:55and perhaps a tad too much on the travelling case

0:28:55 > 0:28:58means that they're going to need their bonus buy in my prediction.

0:28:58 > 0:29:00So, let's go and have a look at it.

0:29:01 > 0:29:05Well, team, you gave Kate £85 of leftover lolly.

0:29:05 > 0:29:08- Kate, what did you spend it on? - Well, I promised something shiny.

0:29:08 > 0:29:10And shiny it is.

0:29:10 > 0:29:12What do you think?

0:29:12 > 0:29:15- Can I?- Absolutely. Have a little feel, Freddie.

0:29:15 > 0:29:17So, it is, of course, a candlestick.

0:29:17 > 0:29:20Known as a dwarf candlestick, because of the size.

0:29:20 > 0:29:25And it's in a very distinctive style which is known as Robert Adam style

0:29:25 > 0:29:27after an iconic architect and designer

0:29:27 > 0:29:29who was actually in the 18th century.

0:29:29 > 0:29:34But this is dated to 1908 so it's actually Edwardian in date

0:29:34 > 0:29:39and has a very, I think, elegant and understated style about it

0:29:39 > 0:29:44with these lovely swags and little borders around the outside.

0:29:44 > 0:29:46- I like it.- How much did you pay for it?

0:29:46 > 0:29:50- I paid £20.- Ooh!- You done very well.

0:29:50 > 0:29:52- You think, Freddie?- I think so.

0:29:52 > 0:29:55- Have you got good vibes?- Yeah.- Yeah, I think that's a bargain, don't you?

0:29:55 > 0:29:57How much do you think it will make as auction?

0:29:57 > 0:30:00Well, I really hope it will make more than 20.

0:30:00 > 0:30:04I've got every confidence in it. I think it was a snip at £20.

0:30:04 > 0:30:08It's small in size and there may have been a pair to it originally,

0:30:08 > 0:30:12- but for £20, a silver candlestick. - I like it.

0:30:12 > 0:30:14Hopefully, you can't go wrong.

0:30:14 > 0:30:17- Good.- I think you're right.- Well, we like those sentiments, don't we?

0:30:17 > 0:30:19Anyway, you don't pick now,

0:30:19 > 0:30:21you pick after the sale of your first three items.

0:30:21 > 0:30:23But right now, for the audience at home,

0:30:23 > 0:30:26let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Kate's little stick.

0:30:28 > 0:30:32- So, Lindsay, there's a little treat for you.- Right. Thank you, Tim.

0:30:32 > 0:30:34Neo-classical in design.

0:30:34 > 0:30:36Miniature dwarf candlestick.

0:30:36 > 0:30:40- At a price, it'll sell, won't it?- 20-30.- Really?

0:30:40 > 0:30:42- Oh, that's excellent because Kate's only paid £20.- OK.

0:30:42 > 0:30:45- So that's pretty good. - Stand a good chance then.

0:30:45 > 0:30:46Anyway, that's it for the Reds.

0:30:46 > 0:30:49Moving on, rather beautifully, to the Blues.

0:30:49 > 0:30:54We have got a graduated set of kitchen pots from France.

0:30:54 > 0:30:56They're a nice little set, graduated...

0:30:56 > 0:30:58They're transfer printed, so...

0:30:59 > 0:31:01- They're OK.- When do you date them?

0:31:01 > 0:31:03Are they '30s or are they 1950s, do you think?

0:31:03 > 0:31:06I think they're '40s/'50s, yeah. They're somewhere around there.

0:31:06 > 0:31:07There's a market for them

0:31:07 > 0:31:09but they're not going to pay a lot for them.

0:31:09 > 0:31:12- OK, how much will they pay then, do you think, Lindsay?- 10-20.

0:31:12 > 0:31:14- Is that all?- Yes. - Do you know, I think you're right.

0:31:14 > 0:31:18£55 was paid by Sue. I think she's completely bonkers.

0:31:18 > 0:31:20Anyway, we won't tell her that.

0:31:20 > 0:31:25Now, moving on, we have at last got a period antique little something!

0:31:25 > 0:31:29- Indeed, yes. Very nice.- A patch box. - Indeed.- Do you like that?

0:31:29 > 0:31:31I do. I really like that.

0:31:31 > 0:31:35Probably by Bilston, the enamel patch box, 18th century.

0:31:35 > 0:31:37We've got a little bit of damage to the edge,

0:31:37 > 0:31:39but it's just a lovely little present for someone.

0:31:39 > 0:31:43- So, how much then, do you think? - 50-80.- Do you really?

0:31:43 > 0:31:45- Well, that's marvellous. £27 was paid.- OK, yeah.

0:31:45 > 0:31:47So that seems to be a profitable buy.

0:31:47 > 0:31:51And lastly, the smallest and most miserable little scent bottle,

0:31:51 > 0:31:53I think I've ever seen.

0:31:53 > 0:31:56- But it is a period one, isn't it? - It is. It is a Coty.

0:31:56 > 0:31:58Lalique did make scent bottles for them,

0:31:58 > 0:32:02- but this one is just a mass-produced example.- Is it?- We think, yeah.

0:32:02 > 0:32:04- How much for that one?- Five to ten.

0:32:04 > 0:32:08OK. £20 paid so that might be a bit lightweight.

0:32:08 > 0:32:12But their big problem is going to be the storage containers, I think.

0:32:12 > 0:32:15And that means they are going to need their bonus buy, I think,

0:32:15 > 0:32:16so, let's go and have a look at it.

0:32:18 > 0:32:23- Well, girls, you gave David Harper a fortune, didn't you? £198.- Yeah.- OK.

0:32:23 > 0:32:28Looks substantial, so let's gather round while David does his reveal.

0:32:28 > 0:32:31What did you spend £198 on, Dave?

0:32:31 > 0:32:38Not quite 198. Take off 100 and a bit, and I spent £90.

0:32:38 > 0:32:39Oh, dear. THEY LAUGH

0:32:39 > 0:32:42Don't look too impressed. Just control yourselves.

0:32:42 > 0:32:46It's an early 20th-century box.

0:32:46 > 0:32:49I'm describing it as an artisan's box.

0:32:49 > 0:32:54Others may describe it as a tool box. But I think it is absolutely...

0:32:54 > 0:32:58- Ooh, I like that.- ..gorgeous. This is not for a plumber or a joiner.

0:32:58 > 0:33:01This is for an artisan. That's my thought.

0:33:01 > 0:33:07What I adore about that, is it's completely well used and patinated.

0:33:07 > 0:33:08Does it have any profit in it?

0:33:08 > 0:33:12- Well, you know, it's a tricky one, isn't it? - TIM LAUGHS

0:33:12 > 0:33:14- Um...- Answer a straight question!

0:33:14 > 0:33:16Quite possibly not.

0:33:16 > 0:33:20Judging by the response that everyone seems to have to it.

0:33:20 > 0:33:23- Gone down very well(!) - Thank you very much, Dave.

0:33:23 > 0:33:27- Some days, he's good days. Some days, he's not so good days.- No.

0:33:27 > 0:33:29And on that happy note,

0:33:29 > 0:33:32why don't we check out what the auctioneer thinks about Dave's box?

0:33:34 > 0:33:37As if by magic, comes David's tool box.

0:33:37 > 0:33:40- Lindsay, you're bound to love this. - Well, erm...

0:33:40 > 0:33:41I hate to admit it,

0:33:41 > 0:33:44but I have got one at home which I put my costume jewellery in.

0:33:44 > 0:33:47Did you pay a lot for yours to put the jewellery in?

0:33:47 > 0:33:50- About a tenner, I think. - Did you?- Yeah.

0:33:50 > 0:33:51So would that mean that you think

0:33:51 > 0:33:53this bonus buy's worth about a tenner then?

0:33:53 > 0:33:57- Yes.- You do.- I do. Maybe 20.- 10-20.

0:33:57 > 0:33:58If we have...

0:33:58 > 0:34:01I'm afraid David Harper, who spent £90 on that,

0:34:01 > 0:34:06if he persuades his team to take that as a bonus buy,

0:34:06 > 0:34:09I can confidently predict they are going to be torpedoed.

0:34:09 > 0:34:12- They are, I'm afraid.- Are you taking the sale today?- I am indeed, yes.

0:34:12 > 0:34:14We're in safe hands.

0:34:14 > 0:34:18On commission, up, 320, up, 340... £20, 22 online now.

0:34:18 > 0:34:2224 at the back, keying out. 24. At £24 at the back of the room.

0:34:22 > 0:34:26How are you feeling, Freddie? You feeling a bit nervous?

0:34:26 > 0:34:28- Bit shaky, yeah.- Yeah. Don't worry.

0:34:28 > 0:34:31- If you need to hang on to somebody, you can hang on to me.- Yeah, OK.

0:34:31 > 0:34:33- All right.- Well, first up, then,

0:34:33 > 0:34:36is the leather travelling case with the decanters and the sandwich box.

0:34:36 > 0:34:38Here it comes.

0:34:38 > 0:34:41Nice lot this, for your travels. There we go. £50 start me for it.

0:34:41 > 0:34:4650. Must be 20 to start if you're interested. 20's all I'm bid now.

0:35:19 > 0:35:22- At 85.- We're in the money, baby.

0:35:22 > 0:35:27It's the lady's bid now at 85, 90. He's back in now, 90. Can't resist.

0:35:27 > 0:35:30- At £90 now. It's the gentlemen's bid.- (How much?)- 90.

0:35:30 > 0:35:31At £90.

0:35:33 > 0:35:36- Yes!- Yes.- That's very good. - Well done, Freddie.

0:35:36 > 0:35:39- You have got a good eye. - We're in money.- Well done, Freddie.

0:35:39 > 0:35:41- That's all right. - Who said it couldn't make money?

0:35:41 > 0:35:45- She did.- Yeah. She's wrong. - She's wrong.- Excellent.- What's now?

0:35:45 > 0:35:47- Now, telescope. - It's an attractive thing, isn't it?

0:35:47 > 0:35:50But sadly, reproduction. We'll try and sell it, here we go.

0:35:50 > 0:35:52£20 to start me, are we?

0:35:52 > 0:35:5520? Ten to get on then. Come on, guys. Ten is all I have here now.

0:35:55 > 0:35:59Ten, at £10. 12 here now. 12. At 12.

0:35:59 > 0:36:0214, are we? 14. 16. At 16 now.

0:36:25 > 0:36:29£26 is four short of 30 so that's minus 24.

0:36:29 > 0:36:32You were plus ten, you're now minus 14.

0:36:32 > 0:36:35OK, here we go. Now, the Danish enamel. There it comes.

0:36:35 > 0:36:39There we go. £100? 100. 50 get on, surely?

0:36:39 > 0:36:4150? I've got just £40 start.

0:36:41 > 0:36:45If we lead from the book now. 40. 45 in the room now.

0:36:52 > 0:36:56- At 75, then, we're all done? - Come on!- Oh, dear.- Lady's bid, £75.

0:36:57 > 0:37:00£75 which means it's minus £10,

0:37:00 > 0:37:04- which means you are minus £24 overall.- Not so good.

0:37:04 > 0:37:06- Are you going to go with the candlestick?- Definitely.

0:37:06 > 0:37:09- Definitely are, yes.- It's got to be cheap, that candlestick.

0:37:09 > 0:37:13At £20. So you're going to go with it. We're going to go with the bonus buy and here it comes.

0:37:13 > 0:37:18Right now we have the silver dwarf candlestick now. Nice stick, this.

0:37:18 > 0:37:21£20 start me, are we? 20?

0:37:46 > 0:37:49- At 38 now. It's a lady's bid now. You're out online.- Bit more.

0:37:49 > 0:37:51At just £38.

0:37:51 > 0:37:55Well done, Kate. £38 is plus £18

0:37:55 > 0:37:59which very, very sadly means you are minus £6 overall.

0:37:59 > 0:38:02Which is nothing, isn't it? And that could be a winning score.

0:38:07 > 0:38:10Now, have you been talking to the Reds? Do you know how they got on?

0:38:10 > 0:38:13- No.- No, no.- You haven't got the faintest idea. Very good.

0:38:13 > 0:38:16You've got your six storage jars coming up now and here they come.

0:38:16 > 0:38:21Interesting lot, these. There we go. £20 start me for them? 20, are we?

0:38:21 > 0:38:24Must be a tenner. Come on, guys. Ten.

0:38:24 > 0:38:27I'm going to have to say the word - five? Five, thank you.

0:38:27 > 0:38:33I've got now five. At fine only now. Six. At six. Eight, ten,

0:38:33 > 0:38:3612, 14, 16.

0:38:36 > 0:38:38At 16. The bid's in the room here now at 16.

0:38:38 > 0:38:4018. To my left now at 18.

0:38:40 > 0:38:44- 20. At £20 now. 22.- Long way to go.

0:38:44 > 0:38:46At 22. 24. At £24 now.

0:38:46 > 0:38:51The bid's in the room now at 24. At £24. 24. The bid's over here.

0:38:54 > 0:38:57- 24 is minus 31.- Ouch.

0:38:57 > 0:38:59- Oh, dear.- Ooh, la, la. - Sorry, David.- Oh, no.

0:38:59 > 0:39:01- Come on, Dave, let's win it all back.- Let's go.

0:39:01 > 0:39:03Let's win it all back, eh? Come on, then.

0:39:03 > 0:39:05The 18th-century patch box there.

0:39:05 > 0:39:08Sweet little lot, this. Make a lovely present for someone.

0:39:08 > 0:39:12- I've got to go in at just £40 on the book.- Oh, good.- Now at 40.

0:39:25 > 0:39:29- The bid's in the room now. Just £75 only.- I can't bear it.

0:39:29 > 0:39:32That's marvellous. That's plus £48.

0:39:32 > 0:39:36- £48.- Wow.- Look at that. Now, the scent bottle.

0:39:36 > 0:39:39There we go now, the Lalique style. Interesting lot, this.

0:39:39 > 0:39:42- I've got to start at a tenner on the book now.- Ten.- Ten.

0:39:56 > 0:39:59- £2.- That's fantastic. - Plus £2.- Fantastic.

0:39:59 > 0:40:03There's the sweet smell of success there. Anyway, you were 17 before.

0:40:03 > 0:40:08You've got that £2. You're now plus £19, OK? Now, the tool box.

0:40:08 > 0:40:10What are you going to do about the tool box?

0:40:10 > 0:40:12Do you want to risk it for a biscuit or hang on to your £19?

0:40:13 > 0:40:16- Do you mind if we hang...? - Of course, I don't mind.

0:40:16 > 0:40:19- You've picked some lovely things. - Listen, course, I don't mind.

0:40:19 > 0:40:21- We're not going with the bonus buy? - No, sorry.

0:40:21 > 0:40:23We're not going with the artisan's box.

0:40:23 > 0:40:28- But, we're going to sell it anyway. - Yeah.- Just to see what happens.

0:40:28 > 0:40:29Anyway, here it comes.

0:40:29 > 0:40:32No contents, sadly. It's just a box you're buying here.

0:40:32 > 0:40:35I've got a tenner bid for it now. Ten, at £10.

0:40:35 > 0:40:39the bid's on commission for this box. 12. 14.

0:41:06 > 0:41:09- At £40.- £40!- Getting carried away now at 40. At £40.

0:41:09 > 0:41:13There's nothing in it. You do you that, don't you? 45. At 45.

0:41:13 > 0:41:15Gentleman's bid now at 45.

0:41:15 > 0:41:18- Gentleman's bid now. - Come on!- At £45.- No!

0:41:19 > 0:41:26- No.- £45.- I'm so sorry.- £45. - Good decision.- Is minus £45 on that.

0:41:26 > 0:41:29Her very best estimate was £10-20. You made £45 on it so that's...

0:41:29 > 0:41:31- No shame in that, David. - Better than my French tins.

0:41:31 > 0:41:32Oh, yeah, well done(!)

0:41:32 > 0:41:35Anyway, so, girls. You didn't go with the bonus buy.

0:41:35 > 0:41:37You preserved your winnings which are plus £19

0:41:37 > 0:41:39which could easily be a winning score today.

0:41:39 > 0:41:42- So, say nothing to the Reds, OK? - OK.- Well done.

0:41:48 > 0:41:52Sadly, on Bargain Hunt, we can only have one team of winners

0:41:52 > 0:41:56and one team of runners up and the runners up today,

0:41:56 > 0:41:59by a slight chalk, are the Reds.

0:41:59 > 0:42:00Ooh!

0:42:02 > 0:42:06Started off so beautifully, Fred, didn't it? Plus £10.

0:42:06 > 0:42:08Then you went into a slide.

0:42:08 > 0:42:11Then you trusted your expert with her little candlestick

0:42:11 > 0:42:13but it wasn't enough to take you into profit.

0:42:13 > 0:42:18- And your score is minus £6.- Oh. - We tried.- You tried very hard.

0:42:18 > 0:42:22- In fact, Fred, you've been very trying. - THEY LAUGH

0:42:22 > 0:42:24Anyway, bad luck, Reds. But it's lovely to see you.

0:42:24 > 0:42:29But the victors today, who go home with £19,

0:42:29 > 0:42:32and here are your £19, kids.

0:42:32 > 0:42:37£48 on your patch box, profit, was something else, wasn't it?

0:42:37 > 0:42:40That really resuscitated the balance.

0:42:40 > 0:42:42And you didn't go with the bonus buy,

0:42:42 > 0:42:45which is a very wise move, so that's brilliant, isn't it?

0:42:45 > 0:42:47- Brilliant.- Are you happy, you too?- Very happy.

0:42:47 > 0:42:49Yeah, well, you should be very happy too.

0:42:49 > 0:42:50We've had a splendid day.

0:42:50 > 0:42:54So splendid, why don't you join us soon for some more bargain hunting.
