Lincolnshire is the second largest county in England | 0:00:04 | 0:00:08 | |
and it borders no less than eight other counties. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:12 | |
And its border with Northamptonshire is only 19 metres long. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:17 | |
Ha! How about that for an amazing pub quiz fact? | 0:00:17 | 0:00:21 | |
And armed with that knowledge, | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
let's go bargain hunting, yeah! | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
It's not just county borders that are short in these parts, | 0:00:52 | 0:00:56 | |
but also the team's time - | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
because they only have 60 minutes to find three items, | 0:00:59 | 0:01:03 | |
here at Swinderby, | 0:01:03 | 0:01:04 | |
to take away and sell at auction. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
Will it be enough time or money? | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
Let's find out. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
On today's show... | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
-The Reds are sending their expert packing. -I'm not buying a suitcase. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
-I'm a baggage handler by trade. -Oh, you are a baggage handler! | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
Oh, my goodness... | 0:01:19 | 0:01:20 | |
While the Blues are hitting all the right notes... | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
LUCY PLAYS PIANO | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
-There you go. -Oh, come on! | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
But which team will pack the biggest punch? | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
Let's meet today's teams. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
Today's show brings together two couples - | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
one married, the other in the first flush of romance. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:40 | |
For the Reds, we have Sean and Donna. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
And for the Blues, we have Matt and Lucy. Hello, everyone! | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
ALL: Hello! | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
Now Sean, you're clearly an uber-romantic type, yes? | 0:01:48 | 0:01:52 | |
-Clearly. -So tell us about how you first got hitched. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
Er, well, after years of Donna trying to force me into it, | 0:01:55 | 0:02:00 | |
I eventually lost a bet. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:01 | |
Basically, the old kickboxing club I used to train at... | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
The sensei was all drunk one night and he was like, | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
"Why don't you two get married? | 0:02:07 | 0:02:08 | |
I was like, "If you get ordained, we'll get married". | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
Two weeks later, I go back down the club and he's got a certificate. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
Ten years of trying and you lose a bet(!) | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
-That's all it took, a drunken bet. -That is terri... | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
That's a terrible thing to own up to. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
Now, kickboxing is a large part of your life? | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
-We took it up together, didn't we? -Yeah. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
Probably five or six years ago and we just sort of never stopped since. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
-Yeah. -Can you show us some moves? Let's just see, give us a kick. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
-So how does it work, this kickboxing? -You just kick. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
Oh, you just... So just... a move like that, is it? | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
-That was perfect, yeah. -Was it? Anyway, so you're a housewife... | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
-Yeah... -You're a mother... -Yup... | 0:02:40 | 0:02:41 | |
And also, you're into teaching nippers kickboxing? | 0:02:41 | 0:02:45 | |
-Yep. -What sort of exercises would these children typically do, then? | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
Run round as much as possible, to wear them out - and then hopefully, | 0:02:48 | 0:02:52 | |
I get five minutes out of them where they listen, but it is brilliant. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:56 | |
Very rewarding. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:57 | |
Well, you're clearly frightfully good | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
at this hand-to-hand combat business. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
What's your antiques knowledge like? | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
-Nil. -Nil? -Not a lot. -Nothing. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
-But we're good at winging it, so... -Well, there you go. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
You'll do terribly well on Bargain Hunt if you don't know | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
anything about antiques. But you're competitive? | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
-Yup. -Yes. -Don't like to lose. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:13 | |
And will you get on together, do you think? | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
Yeah, well, we might bicker and then she'll decide that I'm right. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:03:18 | 0:03:19 | |
Yes, OK. Super. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
Now, Matt, it says here that in a former life, you were a rock star. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:25 | |
Apparently so, yeah. I used to be in a band called Skint And Demoralised. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:29 | |
We did all right - signed to a major label, toured the UK, | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
-went to Europe a few times... -Gosh. -..a bit of TV and radio. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
You made it, then? | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
-Nearly. -Yeah? -Made it fairly far. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
What sort of things did you play? | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
Alternative indie sort of like... Kind of poppy, but guitar-based. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:44 | |
-And then you got the retro shop in Wakefield? -That's right, yes. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:48 | |
Vintage clothing, mainly, | 0:03:48 | 0:03:49 | |
but records and comics and stuff like that as well. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:51 | |
So we've got a closet dealer here, do you realise that? | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:03:54 | 0:03:55 | |
This is very, very interesting.. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:57 | |
Now, Lucy - what's your involvement with music? | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
I'm studying a music degree at the minute. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
I play the violin in various orchestras, as you do, | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
if you're at university. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
I'm mainly a composer, really, rather than a performer. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
So I'm looking to compose music for film and TV. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
So what does this term "Loose Lightning" mean? | 0:04:12 | 0:04:16 | |
I play roller derby. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:18 | |
Loose Lightning is my skate name. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:19 | |
And what are your defensive moves? | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
What you do to stop somebody knocking you over? | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
There are certain things you are and aren't allowed to do. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:26 | |
You can't just push somebody over or punch them in the face or... | 0:04:26 | 0:04:29 | |
Oh, that's handy. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
There are legal blocking zones and there are certain parts of your | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
body that you can and can't use and things like that, to keep it safe. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:38 | |
Well, I'm glad to hear that. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:39 | |
So what are you going to adopt in your strategy today, to win? | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
Will you be going for kind of Scandi '60s, do you think? | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
Yeah, '60s would be great. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
I know industrial is quite big at the moment, so... | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
-Yeah, industrial's great. Lights, anything like that. -Yeah. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
-Yeah, no, great. Now, here we go then. There's your £300. -Thank you. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
The money moment. You know the rules. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
Your experts await and off you go - | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
and very, very, very good luck! | 0:05:00 | 0:05:02 | |
Now, let's meet today's experts. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:07 | |
Kicking up a storm for the Reds, it's... | 0:05:08 | 0:05:12 | |
Putting the Blues in the frame though, it's... | 0:05:12 | 0:05:16 | |
Sean, Donna, what are you looking for today? | 0:05:16 | 0:05:19 | |
Um... | 0:05:19 | 0:05:20 | |
We've not got anything in mind. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:21 | |
Are we going to have a bit of a vintage-fest then, Lucy? | 0:05:21 | 0:05:24 | |
If we see something, yeah. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:25 | |
-Winning's the main... That's important. -We don't like losing. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:30 | |
Right, no pressure then | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
-Are we raring to go? -Yeah, definitely. -Absolutely. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:34 | |
And you know you've only got 60 minutes and that's it? | 0:05:34 | 0:05:36 | |
-I know, better crack on. -That's right, we'll use them wisely. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
Teams, your 60 minutes has started now. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
Let's spring into action! | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
Three, two, one - let's go! | 0:05:44 | 0:05:46 | |
Come on, let's go! | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
Now, we're going into the sun here, guys, | 0:05:48 | 0:05:50 | |
which is probably not the best idea. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:51 | |
Don't worry, David, so are the Reds. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:53 | |
-Start down this way? -Yep, come on. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:56 | |
I'm not going to argue with kickboxers. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
They're quite cool, ain't they? | 0:06:01 | 0:06:03 | |
-They're an interesting pair of chairs. -Aren't they? | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
They're quite modern, but they're really very stylish, aren't they? | 0:06:05 | 0:06:09 | |
-What do you think, Sean? -I like them, I like the design. -Yeah? -Er, yeah. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:13 | |
-It's quite... -they're quite bulky, | 0:06:13 | 0:06:14 | |
-they're good-looking with it, aren't they, though? -They are, yeah. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
Like your husband, really. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
-LAUGHTER -Oh, cheeky! | 0:06:19 | 0:06:21 | |
I bet they're quite pricey though, surely, for that sort of... | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
-900. -900? Ooh, now, that's... | 0:06:24 | 0:06:26 | |
-Bit out of budget. -Thank you. -Thanks anyway. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:30 | |
-We've got good taste though, obviously. -Yeah, we have. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:32 | |
Good start. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:34 | |
Nothing could cushion that blow, Reds. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:36 | |
Moving on... | 0:06:36 | 0:06:38 | |
Now, it's full steam ahead for our young Blues. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
-What have we seen, you two? -Well, the Flying Scotsman. -How about this? | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
Oh, hello. OK. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:45 | |
Because I know the Flying Scotsman is the name of a train | 0:06:45 | 0:06:48 | |
and I know that a lot of people are big fans of trains. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
-They are. -Big industry. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:51 | |
So true. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:53 | |
The Flying Scotsman, which ran between London and Edinburgh, | 0:06:53 | 0:06:56 | |
was the first locomotive to hit 100mph, | 0:06:56 | 0:06:59 | |
back in 1934. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:01 | |
Pick it up, Lucy. Let's see how heavy it is. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:03 | |
-It is quite heavy. -OK, come here. Let's have a look. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:07 | |
OK. I would bet you £100 that's never been on the Flying Scotsman. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:10 | |
-No. -OK. -But it's funky. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:12 | |
It is quite funky. It'd look quite good... | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
You could fit it in your house - | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
-If you wanted to, obviously. -Yeah, if you really wanted to, yeah. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
-What kind of house do you live in? -Er... | 0:07:19 | 0:07:20 | |
A trainspotter's house? | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
It's my big secret. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:24 | |
No, it just caught my eye because it's...quite cool. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:28 | |
But it's probably... If it's not the real thing, | 0:07:28 | 0:07:30 | |
then it's not going to be too valuable, is it? | 0:07:30 | 0:07:32 | |
-We could see how much it is. -Lucy, I was waiting for someone to say that. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:35 | |
Do you want to go and find out? Go and ask the lovely lady. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 | |
She's actually coming. Hello. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:39 | |
-You want to know how much it is, don't you? -Yeah, please. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
-We want to know how cheap it is. -Ho-ho! | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
-45. -45? -Along with the little train. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:48 | |
Along with the original Flying Scotsman! | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:07:50 | 0:07:51 | |
-That's the one. -Would you take 30 for it? | 0:07:51 | 0:07:53 | |
SHARP INTAKE OF BREATH | 0:07:53 | 0:07:55 | |
Hang on, hang on, she's...she's... | 0:07:55 | 0:07:57 | |
I like this, because... | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
Let me just warn you here, Lucy. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:01 | |
You've just said we'd take 30 for this. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:04 | |
If this lovely lady says "yes", that's it - you've done the deal. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:07 | |
-Yeah. -I quite like it though, do you like it? | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
-I do like it. -Would you have it for 30? -Well, yeah. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
-Would you take 30? -Go on. -Go on. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
-30, go on, then. -Yay! -You've done it, Lucy. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:17 | |
Shake the lady's hand. OK, good. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:19 | |
-There you go, cheers. -My gosh, they don't muck about, these two, do they? | 0:08:19 | 0:08:22 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:08:22 | 0:08:23 | |
They certainly don't, David. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
That's one item in the bag, in the first five minutes of the shop. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:28 | |
Let's hope they don't get derailed further down the line. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:32 | |
Now, those Reds have spotted something. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:35 | |
What about the candelabra? I was just looking at that. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:37 | |
-Silver-plated, mid-19th century, do you reckon? -Yeah. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:41 | |
And it's old Sheffield plate, | 0:08:41 | 0:08:43 | |
which is before electroplated nickel silver. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:46 | |
-Have you heard of EPNS? -Yeah. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:49 | |
She hasn't. She's made that up. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
Now, that's electroplated nickel silver, | 0:08:51 | 0:08:53 | |
which is a method of attaching the silver onto, usually, a copper base. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:57 | |
-You can see here, the copper's coming through, can't you? -Yeah. -OK. | 0:08:57 | 0:09:01 | |
And there are two schools of thought - | 0:09:01 | 0:09:03 | |
some people think it's best to replate the item, | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
-but then it looks new. -No, yeah. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
And other people think it's better to leave it as it is. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |
-See, I'm one of them. -And so am I, you can have the copper through. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:14 | |
Now, you see that makes a really stunning centrepiece, doesn't it? | 0:09:15 | 0:09:18 | |
-I do like that, yeah. -It's really elaborate, isn't it? | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
-What's the price on it? -- 80. -80? | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
That is all the money. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:25 | |
It wants to be a lot less than that, really. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:27 | |
All the money? OK, what's your rock bottom price you can do? | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
- It cost me 60. I'll split it with you for 70. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:32 | |
-It sounds pricey, but if you really like it... -You think it's pricey? | 0:09:32 | 0:09:36 | |
Could you do 60 quid on it? | 0:09:36 | 0:09:38 | |
- If it helps you to win, go on, then. Yeah. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:40 | |
-Yeah? -Yeah? -£60? -Yeah. Cool. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
-Cheers, mate. -- Thank you. -Thank you. -Thank you. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:45 | |
-Excellent. Ten minutes in... -First one... | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 | |
-First buy in the bag. -Happy with it. -Easy, this is. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:50 | |
Easy? Come on, we've got two more to get! | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
-Let's go. Thank you, mate. -Thank you. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:55 | |
Well done, Reds. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:56 | |
Now, keep that fire burning, eh? | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
-Cruising, we're cruising. -Cruising. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:01 | |
Lucy, I've just spotted something. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:03 | |
Let me just double-check on something. You are a music student? | 0:10:03 | 0:10:06 | |
-Yes. -You're highly talented? | 0:10:06 | 0:10:08 | |
Er...meh. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:09 | |
Well, this is your moment... | 0:10:11 | 0:10:14 | |
-Is it? -..In the spotlight. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
Is Chopsticks OK? | 0:10:17 | 0:10:18 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:10:18 | 0:10:20 | |
-OUT OF TUNE NOTES -Oh, that's terrible. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
What, you or the piano? | 0:10:23 | 0:10:24 | |
Well, both! | 0:10:24 | 0:10:27 | |
LUCY PLAYS THE PIANO | 0:10:27 | 0:10:29 | |
-There you go. -Oh come on! | 0:10:29 | 0:10:32 | |
Roll over Beethoven, eh? | 0:10:32 | 0:10:34 | |
Lucy's on the loose. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:36 | |
-Are you any good at this? -Unfortunately not. -Let's move on. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:39 | |
MUSIC: Thriller by Michael Jackson | 0:10:39 | 0:10:41 | |
Well, let's leave this pair of musical virtuosos | 0:10:41 | 0:10:45 | |
while we drop in on our Reds, who've found something grizzly. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
I do like that. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
See, our kickboxing club, he's known as "Bear" | 0:10:50 | 0:10:52 | |
-and I'm "Donna Bear", or "Mrs Bear". -Yes, right. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:55 | |
So it's quite relevant, really and... | 0:10:55 | 0:10:57 | |
That could be sort of "Baby Bear"? | 0:10:57 | 0:10:59 | |
-Yeah. -Has it got a price on it? | 0:10:59 | 0:11:01 | |
It's got 135. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:02 | |
-Do you know what it's for? -I think it's for walking sticks. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:06 | |
It is, it's a stick stand, yeah. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:09 | |
You might need a walking stick one day | 0:11:09 | 0:11:10 | |
with all that kick boxing, Reds. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:12 | |
-It looks a bit odd to me. -Yeah. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:14 | |
You know, the little bit to put the sticks in is quite small. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:16 | |
But I don't think odd is a bad thing, is it? | 0:11:16 | 0:11:18 | |
No, odd is not a bad thing - I've got by for years on being odd! | 0:11:18 | 0:11:21 | |
I think this lot have lost their BEARING on reality. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:25 | |
I think you're going to be pushed | 0:11:25 | 0:11:27 | |
-to get someone to give you £100 for that, even. -Yeah. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:30 | |
Let's go and have a look for some more bears. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:32 | |
We'll keep going and then you can come back | 0:11:32 | 0:11:34 | |
-and you can always make a cheeky offer, can't you? -Yeah. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:38 | |
-Brilliant. -Says me, hiding behind you two! | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
Hmm, that was a lucky escape. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:42 | |
It's back to the wild for these three bears. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
Now, those Blues are bright sparks - | 0:11:46 | 0:11:48 | |
but have they got any bright ideas? | 0:11:48 | 0:11:50 | |
Are you drawn to them, Matt? | 0:11:50 | 0:11:53 | |
I've seen things like this go - | 0:11:53 | 0:11:54 | |
I think they've got a good look to them. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:56 | |
The industrial look's very popular at the moment, so... | 0:11:56 | 0:11:58 | |
I guess, obviously, it depends how old they are | 0:11:58 | 0:12:00 | |
and how functional they are - whether you renovated them | 0:12:00 | 0:12:03 | |
and use them as lights, or just add them purely as decoration. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:05 | |
That's the thing - you'd have to renovate them or make them | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
into something, so I don't know if on their own, unrenovated, | 0:12:08 | 0:12:10 | |
-they would actually fetch that much. -What do we reckon on age? | 0:12:10 | 0:12:13 | |
Cos they could be anything from... I don't know, '60s to '80s? | 0:12:13 | 0:12:16 | |
I think you're absolutely bang on. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:18 | |
You see, this is where the vintage expert comes in. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:20 | |
I'm loving this, I'm loving it! | 0:12:20 | 0:12:22 | |
They are absolutely bang on trend, you're right. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:24 | |
-You've got this industrial vintage chic. -Yeah. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:26 | |
I think they're the kind of things | 0:12:26 | 0:12:28 | |
that would probably go into the trade, | 0:12:28 | 0:12:30 | |
as opposed to a private house. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:31 | |
And then they'd probably be sold in pairs. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:34 | |
That's what I was thinking, somebody needs to refurbish them, don't they? | 0:12:34 | 0:12:37 | |
-Oh, yeah. An expert. -I think having six though... As I say... | 0:12:37 | 0:12:40 | |
Because you say they'd be sold in pairs, | 0:12:40 | 0:12:41 | |
so somebody can see quite a big... There's a bit of length in them. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:44 | |
-Do you know what we're doing wrong here? -Yes. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:46 | |
-Not asking how much they are? -Again, yes! You're such a bad influence! | 0:12:46 | 0:12:49 | |
-I know, I'm sorry. -We should know how... They're probably five grand! | 0:12:49 | 0:12:52 | |
How much... Are they five pounds? | 0:12:52 | 0:12:55 | |
No, darling. They're £60 each. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:57 | |
-60 each, ooh. -OK, OK. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
That's given them something to think about. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:02 | |
-It is a bit of a niche purchase. -Mmm, yeah. -It's a bit of a risk, | 0:13:02 | 0:13:05 | |
but I think that's the sort of thing we need to be doing. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:08 | |
What were you thinking, price-wise? | 0:13:08 | 0:13:10 | |
I was going to cheekily ask 90 for two. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:12 | |
-Pound notes, £90. -Pound notes - you've got to say yes to that. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:15 | |
OK. Absolutely, 100%, no question about it. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:17 | |
-Thank you very much. -Thank you. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:19 | |
And let there be light - | 0:13:19 | 0:13:21 | |
the Blues have bagged their second item. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:23 | |
Have they turned you on, baby? | 0:13:23 | 0:13:25 | |
I'm loving the vintage theme. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:27 | |
I was hoping for it, but you know, | 0:13:27 | 0:13:28 | |
on this show, you can make all the best plans in the world | 0:13:28 | 0:13:31 | |
and the moment you hit the pitch, it all goes wrong. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
But I was hoping for vintage stuff and we're getting it. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:37 | |
And it's good. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:38 | |
The Reds have found something right up their street. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:41 | |
-Boxing gloves, Donna? -Oh, look at them! | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
I was just thinking of softening the blow to your nose... | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
-They're in better condition than mine! -Are they? | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
And I can see a theme developing with those Blues. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:52 | |
I don't think it's as... | 0:13:52 | 0:13:54 | |
-I don't think it's as vintage... -..as old as maybe I thought it was. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:58 | |
-Yeah. -Maybe not. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:00 | |
OK, put that down. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:04 | |
But let's look on the bright side, | 0:14:04 | 0:14:06 | |
because I found something those Blues are sure to light up over. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:09 | |
One of the hottest collectables | 0:14:09 | 0:14:12 | |
out there in the marketplace today | 0:14:12 | 0:14:15 | |
are small, novelty pieces of silver. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:18 | |
And the wackier the bit of silver, | 0:14:18 | 0:14:20 | |
the more the collectors like it. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:23 | |
So what do you think about this little jobbie? | 0:14:23 | 0:14:26 | |
It looks exactly like an old-fashioned portable oil lamp, | 0:14:26 | 0:14:30 | |
doesn't it? | 0:14:30 | 0:14:31 | |
The idea being that inside the cylinder | 0:14:31 | 0:14:34 | |
would be an oil lamp or a candle | 0:14:34 | 0:14:37 | |
and this frilly bit on the top is a vent, | 0:14:37 | 0:14:40 | |
to take away the fumes | 0:14:40 | 0:14:42 | |
and let more oxygen inside. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:44 | |
And the light would shine through this prism on the front, | 0:14:44 | 0:14:47 | |
magnifying the oil or candlepower. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:50 | |
Except that this thing happens to be made of solid silver. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:56 | |
And imagine my amazement | 0:14:56 | 0:14:58 | |
when I came to unscrew the bottom | 0:14:58 | 0:15:00 | |
on the dealer's stall up the way there, | 0:15:00 | 0:15:03 | |
to discover that it never had an oil lamp interior | 0:15:03 | 0:15:07 | |
or a candle to illuminate it, | 0:15:07 | 0:15:09 | |
because when this was made, | 0:15:09 | 0:15:11 | |
it was actually made to hold a battery. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:14 | |
Dry cell batteries | 0:15:14 | 0:15:16 | |
had just come into portable use | 0:15:16 | 0:15:20 | |
and that's what goes in the middle of the cylinder. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:23 | |
This whole frilly bit on the top, | 0:15:23 | 0:15:25 | |
to let out fumes and draw in oxygen, | 0:15:25 | 0:15:29 | |
is just for show. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:31 | |
The maker of this object | 0:15:31 | 0:15:33 | |
deliberately tried to make something that looked like | 0:15:33 | 0:15:35 | |
an old-fashioned oil lamp, | 0:15:35 | 0:15:37 | |
but fitted it up with hi-tech electricity. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:40 | |
Isn't that cute? | 0:15:40 | 0:15:42 | |
Well, I think it's cute | 0:15:42 | 0:15:44 | |
and of course, as a silver novelty, | 0:15:44 | 0:15:47 | |
there ain't that many of these around. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:49 | |
And if you collect novelty silver | 0:15:49 | 0:15:51 | |
and you come across something which is rare, like this torch, | 0:15:51 | 0:15:55 | |
then you'll pay a lot of money for it. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
There are one or two condition issues - | 0:15:58 | 0:16:00 | |
the frilly top here has been bashed in one or two places, | 0:16:00 | 0:16:03 | |
but that's easy to fix. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:05 | |
The silver's been rubbed on the top of the cone | 0:16:05 | 0:16:08 | |
and that can be fixed, but apart from that, | 0:16:08 | 0:16:10 | |
it's in pretty brilliant condition | 0:16:10 | 0:16:12 | |
for something that is, after all, | 0:16:12 | 0:16:14 | |
over 100 years old. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:16 | |
What's it worth? | 0:16:17 | 0:16:18 | |
Well, you could buy it off a stand up there, | 0:16:18 | 0:16:22 | |
if you were lucky, for £200. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:24 | |
And once it's tickled up, | 0:16:24 | 0:16:26 | |
I fancy the thing would be worth nearer 750. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:30 | |
So, as they say... | 0:16:30 | 0:16:32 | |
Shine a light, mate. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:34 | |
Right, teams - there's still a long way to go, | 0:16:34 | 0:16:36 | |
but it looks like Sean's not up for a busman's holiday. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:40 | |
-I'm not buying a suitcase. -Aw, are you not buying a suitcase? | 0:16:40 | 0:16:43 | |
-I'm a baggage handler by trade. -Oh, you are a baggage handler! | 0:16:43 | 0:16:46 | |
-Oh, my goodness! -That's the last thing I ever want to buy. -Oh, is it? | 0:16:46 | 0:16:49 | |
If the lads at work see me buying a suitcase, | 0:16:49 | 0:16:53 | |
they would absolutely torture me for months. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:55 | |
-That would be awful, wouldn't it? -Absolutely torture me. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:57 | |
-I'm starting to sweat, just looking at it. -Oh, Sean! | 0:16:57 | 0:16:59 | |
You don't want to give it a lift, just to...? | 0:16:59 | 0:17:01 | |
No, no. I don't want to touch it. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:03 | |
And they really would crucify you? | 0:17:03 | 0:17:05 | |
Oh, unbelievable. Well, they say how dodgy the bags are at work, | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 | |
do you know what I mean? So if I come here and picked a bag up... | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
That trunk has sunk, Caroline. Just let it go, love. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:12 | |
-OK. We'd better move on then, quickly, haven't we? -Yeah. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:15 | |
I think that's a "no", don't you? | 0:17:15 | 0:17:17 | |
Sean's putting his foot down, | 0:17:17 | 0:17:18 | |
but Matt's hoping to kick a goal for the Blues. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:21 | |
What are you getting excited about? | 0:17:21 | 0:17:22 | |
It's a Leeds United football programme, but I don't think | 0:17:22 | 0:17:25 | |
it'd fetch much at auction, because everybody hates Leeds United. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:28 | |
-Well, obviously, you don't. -No, I don't. But the problem is... | 0:17:28 | 0:17:31 | |
I mean, I absolutely love them, | 0:17:31 | 0:17:32 | |
but they're probably only worth a few quid each, you know what I mean? | 0:17:32 | 0:17:35 | |
1968. That's the year they won their first cup. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:38 | |
I've got to say, Matt, I think you're absolutely positively riveting. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |
Well... I've made you love... | 0:17:41 | 0:17:43 | |
-Do you want to come to the Leeds game next week? -No. -No? | 0:17:43 | 0:17:46 | |
-OK. It's probably a good thing. -Yeah, OK. Goodbye. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
-That's told him, then. -Never mind, eh? | 0:17:49 | 0:17:52 | |
Come on, Reds. You still need a second item. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:54 | |
Time's a-ticking! | 0:17:54 | 0:17:56 | |
There's a big clock. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:57 | |
Ooh - you read my mind. | 0:17:57 | 0:17:59 | |
Is that marble? | 0:17:59 | 0:18:00 | |
Yeah, marble pillars, slate at the top... | 0:18:00 | 0:18:04 | |
-Not everybody's cup of tea, the dark. -No. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:07 | |
Late Victorian, French... | 0:18:07 | 0:18:10 | |
-It's got a nice detail on it. -It has, yeah, with the gilding. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:13 | |
-It's a nicer model than a lot. -Yeah. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:16 | |
-What sort of price is it? -180. -180. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:19 | |
What would be your best price? | 0:18:21 | 0:18:23 | |
-140. -140? -And is it working? | 0:18:23 | 0:18:26 | |
-Perfect working, yeah. -Yeah? | 0:18:26 | 0:18:28 | |
Go on, Caroline. Lead us. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:29 | |
I think I'm going to lead from the front and say... | 0:18:31 | 0:18:33 | |
-No, it needs to be 130, yeah... -No, just a little bit less, yeah. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:37 | |
-Sorry, sir. -130, then. Go on. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:39 | |
-Do you want it at 130? -Shall we? | 0:18:39 | 0:18:41 | |
-Yes, go on, then. -Yeah, shall we? -130? -OK, yeah. Thank you. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:44 | |
-Thank you ever so much. -Thanks, pal. Cheers. Appreciate that. -Thank you. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:48 | |
Hey, that deal didn't take much time at all! | 0:18:48 | 0:18:51 | |
Now there's 20 minutes left on the clock. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:53 | |
Can the Blues make sweet music together? | 0:18:53 | 0:18:55 | |
It won't even... Look. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:57 | |
No, because there's no bow to it, for the tension. | 0:18:57 | 0:18:59 | |
-You need your bridge. -If I did that... | 0:18:59 | 0:19:01 | |
LUCY LAUGHS | 0:19:01 | 0:19:03 | |
They are determined to strike the right chord. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:06 | |
OUT OF TUNE NOTE | 0:19:06 | 0:19:08 | |
Oh. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:09 | |
But will they ever tune in to the right channel? | 0:19:09 | 0:19:12 | |
Right, guys - 18 minutes left. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:15 | |
Now, I can see you, Lucy, looking at that old radio. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:18 | |
I just think it's quite cool. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:20 | |
It does look very cool. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:21 | |
Again, you probably wouldn't be able to use it... | 0:19:21 | 0:19:24 | |
It might be dangerous, but it looks good as a decorative piece. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:27 | |
-But you know what you can do with these things? -You can fix them up. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:30 | |
You can fix them up, but I tell you what would be easier - | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
you buy yourself a really cracking digital radio | 0:19:32 | 0:19:35 | |
and you put it inside. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:37 | |
-And you've got the front. -Job's a good one. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:39 | |
I've seen it happen so many times. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:40 | |
Get some beeswax on that thing, a little bit of restoration... | 0:19:40 | 0:19:43 | |
Look at the colours. Look at the colours - what's fashionable now? | 0:19:43 | 0:19:47 | |
Browns, beiges - it's odd, isn't it? | 0:19:47 | 0:19:49 | |
Yeah, it's nice. Well, we'll see how much it is. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:51 | |
-Do you want to? Shall we ask the fellow? -He's learning now, isn't he? | 0:19:51 | 0:19:54 | |
Hi there. Actually, well done! Yes, yes. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:56 | |
Hi there. How much is the radio there, please? | 0:19:56 | 0:19:59 | |
Radio? £40. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:00 | |
40 on that one, OK. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:02 | |
While they take a closer look, the Reds are shaking things up a bit. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:07 | |
Oh, I like them. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:10 | |
Now, are they silver? | 0:20:12 | 0:20:13 | |
Er, yeah, is that...? | 0:20:15 | 0:20:17 | |
Let's have a look. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:18 | |
-You can see the silver mark round here. -Yeah. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:22 | |
-Early 1900s. -Yeah? So quite old, then? | 0:20:22 | 0:20:24 | |
Yeah, nice condition | 0:20:24 | 0:20:26 | |
and this is the patent applied for, | 0:20:26 | 0:20:29 | |
that will be the way of filling them. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:31 | |
That would come off and you'd fill it from the bottom. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:34 | |
They normally would come off at the top and you'd fill from the top, | 0:20:34 | 0:20:38 | |
so they're nice and they're in the original box. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:42 | |
-A little bit of a bash here. -Yeah. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:47 | |
Silver's a very soft metal | 0:20:47 | 0:20:50 | |
and it does easily bruise and bash. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:53 | |
These two fighters are well used to a few bruises, Caroline. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:56 | |
Would it be worth an ask? | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
Yes, you can ask. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:00 | |
Excuse me? | 0:21:00 | 0:21:02 | |
How much have you got on your salt and pepper pots? | 0:21:02 | 0:21:05 | |
-Do you want a real steal? -We do want a real steal, sir. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
Of course. Yeah, yeah, of course! | 0:21:08 | 0:21:09 | |
I'll do them at £50 a pair, there you are. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:12 | |
£50 a pair? | 0:21:12 | 0:21:13 | |
-Would you do 35? -No. -38? | 0:21:13 | 0:21:15 | |
-Yes. -Would you do 38? -Yes. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:17 | |
-Caroline, it's up to you, you're the expert. -I think they need to be 35. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:21 | |
I think they need to be 35, but if you're happy to do... | 0:21:21 | 0:21:24 | |
-Would you do 36? -If I can help you win, 35. -Oh, brilliant! | 0:21:24 | 0:21:27 | |
-That's... Oh, fantastic. I'm happy with 35. -She's good. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:30 | |
-You're happy, we're happy. -I'm happy. If the wife is happy, I'm happy. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:34 | |
Aw, thank you ever so much. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:36 | |
These Reds certainly know how to keep their allies onside. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:39 | |
That's your third item in the bag. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:41 | |
-Wow, brilliant! -Easy. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:43 | |
You said it would be easy and we've still got a bit of time left, | 0:21:43 | 0:21:46 | |
so what do you want to do now? | 0:21:46 | 0:21:48 | |
-Bacon butty? -Bacon butty. -Breakfast, yeah. -Come on, let's have it! | 0:21:48 | 0:21:52 | |
-Easy. This is the life. -Easy. -Easy. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:58 | |
Those Blues are still fine tuning. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:01 | |
Come on, there's only nine minutes left! | 0:22:01 | 0:22:04 | |
See, even that looks great with, you know, all the cities on? | 0:22:04 | 0:22:06 | |
It just looks cool. If you cleaned that up a bit... | 0:22:06 | 0:22:09 | |
-I must say, I'm liking that. -It's got to be '50s, it's very nice. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
Yeah, it's '50s. It might even be a tad earlier, you know? | 0:22:12 | 0:22:15 | |
Yeah, yeah, yeah, possibly. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:17 | |
I don't know about 40. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:19 | |
Let's get back to asking about prices. Where is he? | 0:22:19 | 0:22:21 | |
If we can do 25, job's a good one. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:23 | |
If not, we'll leave it. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:25 | |
Well, you know what? I'm going to leave that to you. Hi there. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:28 | |
Um, we absolutely love the radio, | 0:22:28 | 0:22:29 | |
but we've hardly got any money left | 0:22:29 | 0:22:31 | |
and we wondered if you might take 25? | 0:22:31 | 0:22:33 | |
I can't take 25 for it, I'm sorry. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:34 | |
-I can do £30 on it, that's the least I can do. -30? | 0:22:34 | 0:22:37 | |
-Helping you out with that. -Do you want it for 30? | 0:22:37 | 0:22:40 | |
-Yes, you do. -I do. OK. -Lucy? -Yeah, yeah, yeah. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:45 | |
-Third object bought. -Thank you very much, sir. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:48 | |
-Cheers. - Cheers. -Thank you, mate, cheers. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:50 | |
Right, then - time's up! | 0:22:50 | 0:22:52 | |
Teams, rock on. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:54 | |
-We've got a sign, some lamps and something musical. -Brilliant. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:57 | |
-I think we've cracked it. -Perfect. -It's the dream team. | 0:22:57 | 0:23:00 | |
Well done, Blues. Now, let's remind ourselves how the Reds got on. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:04 | |
Hopefully, they won't get burnt with this early Victorian candelabrum, | 0:23:05 | 0:23:09 | |
bought for £60. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:11 | |
A late 19th-century French mantle clock chimed in at £130. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:15 | |
And finally, an early 20th-century pair of silver pepperettes | 0:23:16 | 0:23:19 | |
set them back £35. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:21 | |
Donna, Sean, that looked great fun. | 0:23:23 | 0:23:25 | |
It was! I really enjoyed it. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:27 | |
And you spent loads of money, right? | 0:23:27 | 0:23:28 | |
-Er, yeah, we tried. -How much? | 0:23:28 | 0:23:30 | |
Er, 225. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:32 | |
225 - £75 of leftover lolly, please. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:34 | |
Boss has got it. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:36 | |
-Thank you, Sean. -There you go. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:37 | |
-Now, Sean - tell me, which is your favourite piece? -I think the clock. | 0:23:37 | 0:23:40 | |
The clock is your favourite piece? Do you agree with that, Donna? | 0:23:40 | 0:23:43 | |
-Oh, yeah, definitely. -OK, fine. Is that going to bring the biggest profit? -I think so, yeah. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:47 | |
-I really do think so. -Do you agree with that, Sean? | 0:23:47 | 0:23:49 | |
Yeah, there's a lot of clock for your money, I think, so... | 0:23:49 | 0:23:52 | |
Well, I think you're excellent Bargain Hunters. Over you go, £75. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:55 | |
How do you see it? | 0:23:55 | 0:23:56 | |
I've seen something that I think | 0:23:56 | 0:23:58 | |
-is going to be just the ticket for these two. -Brilliant. | 0:23:58 | 0:24:00 | |
Enjoy a cup of tea now, because we're going to check out | 0:24:00 | 0:24:03 | |
what the Blue Team bought, aren't we? | 0:24:03 | 0:24:06 | |
A cast iron Flying Scotsman sign and model steam engine | 0:24:06 | 0:24:09 | |
set them back £30. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:12 | |
A pair of mid 20th-century Strand theatre lights | 0:24:12 | 0:24:15 | |
illuminated their interest and cost them £90. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:18 | |
An Art Deco walnut veneered radio, | 0:24:19 | 0:24:21 | |
bought for a song at £30. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:25 | |
-OK, team. Well, that was exciting, wasn't it? -Mm. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:27 | |
Now, Luce - tell me, which is your favourite object? | 0:24:27 | 0:24:30 | |
We've got sort of a 1950s radiogram. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:33 | |
I quite like that, it's really nice. | 0:24:33 | 0:24:35 | |
-Yes? -It's quite unusual, not really seen one like it. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:37 | |
And do you go along with that? | 0:24:37 | 0:24:39 | |
No, a pair of industrial spotlights I really enjoyed. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:41 | |
Same era, 1950s, | 0:24:41 | 0:24:42 | |
looked like they were from a theatre or a big club or something. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:45 | |
-Were they Strand lights? -Yes, they were. -Well, how lovely is that? | 0:24:45 | 0:24:48 | |
Because they can be really hot. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:50 | |
OK, super. We have some excitement. | 0:24:50 | 0:24:52 | |
And how much did you spend in total? | 0:24:52 | 0:24:54 | |
-150. -150. -£150? OK, fine. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:57 | |
-Who's got £150 of leftover lolly? -Me. -Very good. | 0:24:57 | 0:25:00 | |
-Now, David... -Oh, thank you very much. | 0:25:00 | 0:25:02 | |
-There you go, nice £150 for you. -Very good. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:04 | |
What are you going to spend it on? | 0:25:04 | 0:25:05 | |
Well, I think I'm good to go with the same sort of theme. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:07 | |
We're going to go for something a bit quirky, eccentric - | 0:25:07 | 0:25:10 | |
nothing football-related! | 0:25:10 | 0:25:12 | |
Well, good luck with that | 0:25:12 | 0:25:13 | |
and meanwhile, why don't we now just shove off to the auction? | 0:25:13 | 0:25:17 | |
Well, here we are in Etwall, on the outskirts of Derby, | 0:25:25 | 0:25:29 | |
at Hanson's auction rooms, with the main man, Charles Hanson. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:32 | |
-Charles, it's lovely to be here. -Tim, welcome. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:34 | |
-Now, Sean and Donna are excited... -Yes? | 0:25:34 | 0:25:36 | |
because their four branched candelabrum is shortly to appear. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:40 | |
-Yes. -Now, it's not the most flavoursome thing to sell | 0:25:40 | 0:25:44 | |
-at auction, is it - silverplate? -No, it's not, Tim. | 0:25:44 | 0:25:47 | |
It's extravagant in the sense... | 0:25:47 | 0:25:49 | |
It's quite ostentatious, | 0:25:49 | 0:25:51 | |
but it's not good quality, in the sense that it's not silver | 0:25:51 | 0:25:53 | |
and my guide price, Tim - between 30 and £40. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:56 | |
-Really? That's a sound estimate, actually. They paid 60. -Right, so... | 0:25:56 | 0:25:59 | |
-That could be a bit of a struggle. -Yes, it could be, Tim. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:01 | |
-But it's not completely in the long grass, is it? -No. -No. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:05 | |
I was once told that black slate marble clocks | 0:26:05 | 0:26:08 | |
are very, very difficult to sell, largely because of the colour black. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:11 | |
They are a very heavy late Victorian lot. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:14 | |
But of course, we mustn't forget, it's a good name - it's Mabel and Co. | 0:26:14 | 0:26:17 | |
So it has got the name, it's in good condition, | 0:26:17 | 0:26:20 | |
it's not chipped on the pediment. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:23 | |
-What's it worth? -Tim, with a huff and a puff, | 0:26:23 | 0:26:26 | |
hopefully it will make between 60 and £90. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:28 | |
OK, fine. They paid £130. | 0:26:28 | 0:26:30 | |
-Oh, dear. -This is taking on a bit of a pattern. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:33 | |
Right. Now, the boxed pair of pepperettes. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:36 | |
They're decorative, they are Birmingham 1915, | 0:26:36 | 0:26:39 | |
the box is original, they're clean and tidy | 0:26:39 | 0:26:42 | |
and I think they're quite neat. | 0:26:42 | 0:26:44 | |
OK, what's your price? | 0:26:44 | 0:26:45 | |
Tim, we've been quite cautious - between 30 and £50. | 0:26:45 | 0:26:48 | |
-That's fair enough - £35 paid. -Good. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:50 | |
-So there is a ray of hope for Sean and Donna? -Absolutely. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:54 | |
It's not all martial arts for them. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:57 | |
This could have the ultimate kickback | 0:26:57 | 0:27:01 | |
and they might get some profit out of that, | 0:27:01 | 0:27:03 | |
but the rest of it looks a bit gloomy to me. | 0:27:03 | 0:27:05 | |
And on that basis, I think they're going to need their bonus buy, | 0:27:05 | 0:27:08 | |
so let us go and have a look at it. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:10 | |
So, Donna, Sean - | 0:27:11 | 0:27:13 | |
-this exciting, isn't it? -It is, yes. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:15 | |
You spent a magnificent £225, | 0:27:15 | 0:27:18 | |
leaving Caroline only £75 - | 0:27:18 | 0:27:20 | |
and Caroline, what did you buy? | 0:27:20 | 0:27:21 | |
-Well... -Can I guess? | 0:27:21 | 0:27:23 | |
You're a baggage handler - | 0:27:23 | 0:27:25 | |
if you can't guess, you're a bad baggage handler! | 0:27:25 | 0:27:28 | |
It's a leather suitcase! | 0:27:28 | 0:27:30 | |
I did say... I'm not touching it, I'm not touching it. | 0:27:31 | 0:27:34 | |
-It's my day off today, so I'm not touching it. -Is it union rules? | 0:27:34 | 0:27:37 | |
But I did say if I bought it, | 0:27:37 | 0:27:39 | |
there'd be trouble to pay at work, didn't I? | 0:27:39 | 0:27:41 | |
But I bought it, so is there still trouble? | 0:27:41 | 0:27:43 | |
It depends if it makes money or not, now. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:45 | |
If I end up losing because of it, I'm never going to live it down. | 0:27:45 | 0:27:48 | |
It's 1950s leather, really good condition | 0:27:48 | 0:27:51 | |
and the make is Watajoy. | 0:27:51 | 0:27:53 | |
And I thought, WHAT A JOY, to find that for you! | 0:27:53 | 0:27:57 | |
How much did you pay for it? | 0:27:57 | 0:27:58 | |
-Ah. £35. -£35. -Yeah? Do you reckon there's profit in that? | 0:27:58 | 0:28:02 | |
-I think there's a little profit in that. -A little bit? | 0:28:02 | 0:28:05 | |
They are very fashionable at the moment, just to decorate the house. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:08 | |
-Do you see many of these? -It's a good-looking thing. -I like it, I do. | 0:28:08 | 0:28:12 | |
-Good quality... You're just sick of luggage, aren't you? -Yeah, I am! | 0:28:12 | 0:28:15 | |
-Don't want to look at it any more. -I like it, I like it. | 0:28:15 | 0:28:18 | |
You do, darling? Well, that's great. | 0:28:18 | 0:28:20 | |
Anyway, good fun. | 0:28:20 | 0:28:21 | |
We've got our prediction as to profit, which is great. | 0:28:21 | 0:28:24 | |
You don't have to pick it till after the sale of your first three items, | 0:28:24 | 0:28:27 | |
so let's find out for the audience at home | 0:28:27 | 0:28:29 | |
what the auctioneer thinks about Caroline's suitcase. | 0:28:29 | 0:28:32 | |
Well, Charles, here's a little something for the weekend, look. | 0:28:32 | 0:28:35 | |
-Yeah, quite nice. -Nice leather weekend case, how do you fancy that? | 0:28:35 | 0:28:38 | |
Yeah, quite right. Tim, it's in pretty good condition. | 0:28:38 | 0:28:40 | |
-I love the colour of it. -Yeah, you think this is 1950s, isn't it? | 0:28:40 | 0:28:43 | |
-Do you think it's 1950s? -Yes... -I think it is. -Maybe, yes. | 0:28:43 | 0:28:47 | |
-1950s. -It's a bit later, yes, you're right, Tim. | 0:28:47 | 0:28:49 | |
But I suppose that market today is all the vogue | 0:28:49 | 0:28:53 | |
and as an auctioneer, Tim, we see things like cameras | 0:28:53 | 0:28:56 | |
peppering up the market | 0:28:56 | 0:28:57 | |
and we also see this great market now | 0:28:57 | 0:28:59 | |
for vintage travel suitcases and accessories | 0:28:59 | 0:29:03 | |
really doing quite well. | 0:29:03 | 0:29:04 | |
So what's your estimate? | 0:29:04 | 0:29:05 | |
Tim, we've been cautious to be kind - | 0:29:05 | 0:29:07 | |
between 30 and 40, | 0:29:07 | 0:29:09 | |
but it has got mileage. | 0:29:09 | 0:29:11 | |
Well, she'll be chuffed, cos she only paid £35 | 0:29:11 | 0:29:13 | |
and if the team believe in it and go with it, | 0:29:13 | 0:29:15 | |
it may resuscitate their profits. | 0:29:15 | 0:29:17 | |
-Hope so, Tim. -Now, I'll just park that down here, look, | 0:29:17 | 0:29:20 | |
because that is it for the Reds. | 0:29:20 | 0:29:23 | |
And now for the Blues. | 0:29:23 | 0:29:25 | |
Now, correct me if I'm wrong, | 0:29:25 | 0:29:27 | |
But if that was a genuine cast iron side plate, | 0:29:27 | 0:29:30 | |
that would be worth thousands of pounds, wouldn't it? | 0:29:30 | 0:29:32 | |
-Yes, it would, Tim. -It has to be bogus, doesn't it? -Yes, it is bogus. | 0:29:32 | 0:29:35 | |
-Oh, what a pity. -Yes, it is bogus, Tim. It's a real shame, | 0:29:35 | 0:29:38 | |
it is quite crudely cast and maybe to a great enthusiast of railwayana | 0:29:38 | 0:29:42 | |
who obviously can't spend the thousands on the real McCoy, | 0:29:42 | 0:29:45 | |
this is a good example of a replica. | 0:29:45 | 0:29:47 | |
OK, fine - and it comes with its little model train, | 0:29:47 | 0:29:50 | |
-which is rather sweet. -It does, Tim. -So how much for the two? | 0:29:50 | 0:29:52 | |
We've put a guide price on of between 30 and £50. | 0:29:52 | 0:29:55 | |
Fair enough, they paid £30, so Matt and Lucy will be happy with that. | 0:29:55 | 0:29:58 | |
-Good. -Now, the Strand Theatre lights... -Yes? | 0:29:58 | 0:30:01 | |
I have to say, I'm getting increasingly keener | 0:30:01 | 0:30:05 | |
on these rather oddball industrial | 0:30:05 | 0:30:09 | |
theatre-type lighting equipment, | 0:30:09 | 0:30:11 | |
because it can look great in a modern interior, can't it? | 0:30:11 | 0:30:14 | |
Yes, it can do, Tim. | 0:30:14 | 0:30:15 | |
And this market has really moved up in recent times | 0:30:15 | 0:30:18 | |
and if you're into interior decor | 0:30:18 | 0:30:20 | |
and you've got a good electrician who can put these up, | 0:30:20 | 0:30:23 | |
they tell a story of theatrics from years gone by - | 0:30:23 | 0:30:26 | |
and to me, they're a good buy. | 0:30:26 | 0:30:28 | |
-OK, how much of a good buy? -Tim, we really rate them. | 0:30:28 | 0:30:30 | |
-We hope they'll make up to £50. -Do you? -Yes. | 0:30:30 | 0:30:32 | |
OK, well, you need to up your ante, because they paid 90. | 0:30:32 | 0:30:36 | |
-Oh! -They paid £45 each for them. -Right. | 0:30:36 | 0:30:38 | |
I don't know whether that's too much or not. | 0:30:38 | 0:30:40 | |
-It's just the market you're selling into, isn't it? -Correct. | 0:30:40 | 0:30:42 | |
Now, we've got a radio. | 0:30:42 | 0:30:44 | |
-Walnut veneered mains set, look. -Yes. | 0:30:44 | 0:30:47 | |
It's got the all-important name, Marconi, | 0:30:47 | 0:30:49 | |
which of course... | 0:30:49 | 0:30:51 | |
Marconi set the first factory up in around 1914, | 0:30:51 | 0:30:54 | |
specifically making radios. | 0:30:54 | 0:30:56 | |
So you've got an important leader of the market there. | 0:30:56 | 0:30:59 | |
And the market is so now driven by the online airwaves of buyers, | 0:30:59 | 0:31:05 | |
so it's the right market and the right sell and today, | 0:31:05 | 0:31:07 | |
-we've got some other good radios in the auction. -How much? | 0:31:07 | 0:31:10 | |
Tim, again we would hope it will make between 30 and £50. | 0:31:10 | 0:31:15 | |
Do you? OK, £30 paid. | 0:31:15 | 0:31:16 | |
So it seems to me, on the face of it - | 0:31:16 | 0:31:18 | |
with the exception of the Strand lights - | 0:31:18 | 0:31:20 | |
-that this team have done the right thing. -Correct. | 0:31:20 | 0:31:22 | |
And they may not need their bonus buy, | 0:31:22 | 0:31:24 | |
but let's go and have a look at it anyway. | 0:31:24 | 0:31:27 | |
So, team - this is exciting, isn't it? | 0:31:27 | 0:31:29 | |
You gave David Harper - the legend of Bargain Hunt - | 0:31:29 | 0:31:32 | |
£150 to spend on a bonus buy, right? | 0:31:32 | 0:31:34 | |
David, you take one end of your rag and I'll take the other | 0:31:34 | 0:31:36 | |
and on the moment of pull, we'll show what he bought! | 0:31:36 | 0:31:39 | |
-Push! -Come on, baby! | 0:31:39 | 0:31:41 | |
-Oh, my word! -Exactly! | 0:31:41 | 0:31:43 | |
What are you thinking, guys? | 0:31:43 | 0:31:45 | |
-It's a dead tree. -Yes, exactly. | 0:31:45 | 0:31:47 | |
It's nature at its very best | 0:31:47 | 0:31:50 | |
and it's been upcycled, recycled, bicycled | 0:31:50 | 0:31:53 | |
into a piece of contemporary art. | 0:31:53 | 0:31:56 | |
-Has it got a spray can on it, then? -Yeah, absolutely. | 0:31:56 | 0:31:59 | |
It's had a bit of silver paint on there, which is very artistic. | 0:31:59 | 0:32:03 | |
-How much did you spend on it? -Yeah. -What do you think? | 0:32:03 | 0:32:06 | |
If you could have 150, how much of that 150 would you spend? | 0:32:06 | 0:32:08 | |
Definitely not 150. | 0:32:08 | 0:32:10 | |
-I'm hoping more 50 than 150. -Yeah, I was going to say 50. | 0:32:10 | 0:32:13 | |
OK, well, you're going to be absolutely over the moon - 35. | 0:32:13 | 0:32:17 | |
-Ah, OK! -OK, OK. -That changes things a little. | 0:32:17 | 0:32:19 | |
Do you think that we've got potential to double this money? | 0:32:19 | 0:32:22 | |
I do. It's one of those things you actually cannot value - | 0:32:22 | 0:32:24 | |
and in this business, I love objects that you can't fix a value on, | 0:32:24 | 0:32:28 | |
because who knows? | 0:32:28 | 0:32:30 | |
When it goes in the saleroom, with online bidding, | 0:32:30 | 0:32:32 | |
you just don't know and again, contemporary stuff is really on fire | 0:32:32 | 0:32:36 | |
and that falls into, I'm hoping, that category. | 0:32:36 | 0:32:38 | |
But team, you don't have to worry about it for the moment. | 0:32:38 | 0:32:41 | |
Just think about it, treasure those moments. | 0:32:41 | 0:32:43 | |
All right. Now, for the audience at home, | 0:32:43 | 0:32:46 | |
let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about... | 0:32:46 | 0:32:48 | |
David's trunk. | 0:32:48 | 0:32:50 | |
Well, Charles? | 0:32:50 | 0:32:52 | |
You've sold some peculiar things in this saleroom in the past, | 0:32:52 | 0:32:54 | |
I've no doubt. | 0:32:54 | 0:32:55 | |
But when was the last time you sold a hollowed out tree section? | 0:32:55 | 0:32:58 | |
Never, Tim, never. | 0:32:58 | 0:33:00 | |
And it's wonderful, this business, because new things happen | 0:33:00 | 0:33:02 | |
-and this is one of them. -It's quite an old thing, I think, don't you? | 0:33:02 | 0:33:05 | |
Yeah. Tim, it's a shame we can't sort of date it. | 0:33:05 | 0:33:08 | |
It's not fossilised and I suppose the question is, what you do with it? | 0:33:08 | 0:33:12 | |
A little garden feature would be my money, I think. | 0:33:12 | 0:33:14 | |
-But anyway, it's for what anybody wants to... -A planter, perhaps. | 0:33:14 | 0:33:17 | |
-Exactly. -Yes. -OK, so what's it worth, do you think? | 0:33:17 | 0:33:21 | |
Well, Tim, I have no idea. It might make a tenner, it might make £50. | 0:33:21 | 0:33:25 | |
-We've gone in the middle, between 30 and £40. -OK, fine. | 0:33:25 | 0:33:28 | |
Well, Harper's paid £35 for it. | 0:33:28 | 0:33:30 | |
David Harper, right. He's to blame. | 0:33:30 | 0:33:33 | |
He's to blame. So anyway, if the team decide to go for it, | 0:33:33 | 0:33:36 | |
-they will certainly be taking a punt. -They will indeed, Tim. | 0:33:36 | 0:33:39 | |
Excellent. | 0:33:39 | 0:33:40 | |
-You taking the stand today? -Tim, hopefully I won't capsize. | 0:33:40 | 0:33:42 | |
We're in safe hands, I think. | 0:33:42 | 0:33:44 | |
5...50...5... | 0:33:47 | 0:33:49 | |
OK, guys, how are you feeling? | 0:33:50 | 0:33:52 | |
-Good. Confident. -Are you confident? | 0:33:52 | 0:33:54 | |
-Of course, yeah. -OK. What's your prediction | 0:33:54 | 0:33:57 | |
as to how much profit we're going to make today, Mr Confidence? | 0:33:57 | 0:33:59 | |
-Er, very little. -Oh, that confident? | 0:33:59 | 0:34:02 | |
-Yeah, that confident. -Well, it's all a matter of opinion, right? | 0:34:02 | 0:34:05 | |
We've got a saleroom which is crammed up with people. | 0:34:05 | 0:34:08 | |
It's on the internet. | 0:34:08 | 0:34:10 | |
If there's a good chance of making a good price today, | 0:34:10 | 0:34:13 | |
this is the place to try and get it, so let's be confident, eh? Great. | 0:34:13 | 0:34:17 | |
Now, first up then, is your silver-plated candelabrum | 0:34:17 | 0:34:20 | |
and here it comes. | 0:34:20 | 0:34:21 | |
My number now, 14, there we are. | 0:34:21 | 0:34:23 | |
Oh, I say, look at this - it really has a swagger. | 0:34:23 | 0:34:26 | |
I will start this off with interest on my book | 0:34:26 | 0:34:29 | |
at only £20. | 0:34:29 | 0:34:30 | |
I'm sorry, 20 I'm bid, do I see 2 now? Come on. | 0:34:30 | 0:34:34 | |
I've got you, sir, at 22. Online, 25. | 0:34:34 | 0:34:38 | |
30. Online, do I see five now? | 0:34:38 | 0:34:40 | |
One more - surely one more? £30 on my right. | 0:34:40 | 0:34:43 | |
-Fair warning... Oh, 35. 40! -Oh, yes. | 0:34:43 | 0:34:46 | |
Look at me. Not one for the road? | 0:34:46 | 0:34:48 | |
No, he's out. We're live on the net today, 35, fair warning at £35. | 0:34:48 | 0:34:53 | |
-GAVEL BANGS -That's -£25, bad luck, chaps. | 0:34:53 | 0:34:56 | |
-That was my favourite one, as well. -Was it? | 0:34:56 | 0:34:57 | |
Black slate mantle clock being shown for you now. | 0:34:57 | 0:35:00 | |
And I'm bid here only £25. | 0:35:00 | 0:35:03 | |
It's a Hanson potential clock. | 0:35:03 | 0:35:06 | |
Bid me 30 online. | 0:35:06 | 0:35:08 | |
35 I'm bid online, do I see 40 now? 35 commission... | 0:35:08 | 0:35:11 | |
40 over there, bid 5 now. | 0:35:11 | 0:35:13 | |
He looks familiar. | 0:35:13 | 0:35:15 | |
That's the chap who sold the clock to the Reds! | 0:35:15 | 0:35:18 | |
He must be missing it. | 0:35:18 | 0:35:20 | |
45... 50... 5... 60... 5... | 0:35:20 | 0:35:23 | |
-Yes, come on. -Gorgeous. 5... | 0:35:23 | 0:35:25 | |
70... 5... | 0:35:25 | 0:35:27 | |
-Keep going, keep going! -Look at me! | 0:35:27 | 0:35:30 | |
70 I'm bid, what more do I see? | 0:35:30 | 0:35:32 | |
Oh, I sell to you, sir - good morning - at £70 today. | 0:35:32 | 0:35:36 | |
It's all over. | 0:35:36 | 0:35:37 | |
Oh, dear. -£60. | 0:35:37 | 0:35:39 | |
Dear, oh, dear. That's -85. OK. | 0:35:39 | 0:35:42 | |
-It's now 42, they are... -Now, the pepperettes. Some hope. | 0:35:42 | 0:35:44 | |
They are a wonderful pair of silver pepperettes. Where do we start these? | 0:35:44 | 0:35:48 | |
I'm only bid here 22, 25, 28, 30. | 0:35:48 | 0:35:53 | |
Bid me 2. The net's going wild. | 0:35:53 | 0:35:55 | |
So wild, we're up to £35. | 0:35:55 | 0:35:58 | |
Bid 40. | 0:35:58 | 0:35:59 | |
-40 I'm bid online, do I see 5 in the room now? -Gosh, 40! | 0:35:59 | 0:36:01 | |
..at 40 I'm bid, do I see a fiver? | 0:36:01 | 0:36:03 | |
-Bid 45 over there... -45? -I'm asking now 50, | 0:36:03 | 0:36:06 | |
-50, new place, good morning. ALL: -Yeah! | 0:36:06 | 0:36:08 | |
2, 5, don't miss it for 1, sir. | 0:36:08 | 0:36:11 | |
5 and 8. | 0:36:11 | 0:36:12 | |
Bid me 8... | 0:36:12 | 0:36:13 | |
I sell to you on the front row, sir. Fair warning, all done at £55. | 0:36:13 | 0:36:18 | |
GAVEL BANGS | 0:36:18 | 0:36:19 | |
Well done, 55 - round of applause for that, 55. | 0:36:19 | 0:36:22 | |
Now, £55 is +£20, OK? | 0:36:22 | 0:36:24 | |
You were -85, which means overall, you're -£65. | 0:36:24 | 0:36:27 | |
What are you going to do about the Watajoy? | 0:36:27 | 0:36:29 | |
-We're going for it, definitely. -Are you? | 0:36:29 | 0:36:31 | |
-If we're going to lose, we might as well go out..... -With a bang. | 0:36:31 | 0:36:34 | |
You're going to go with the bonus buy? OK, now you've made | 0:36:34 | 0:36:36 | |
your decision, you're going with the bonus buy definitely? | 0:36:36 | 0:36:39 | |
I can tell you that Charles' estimate is £30-£40. | 0:36:39 | 0:36:42 | |
He rates this stuff, so with any luck, you'll make a small profit. | 0:36:42 | 0:36:45 | |
Easy-peasy. | 0:36:45 | 0:36:46 | |
Anyway, the die is cast, we're going with the bonus buy, | 0:36:46 | 0:36:48 | |
we're going with the leather suitcase and here it comes. | 0:36:48 | 0:36:51 | |
Number 46, it's a Watajoy leather suitcase. | 0:36:51 | 0:36:54 | |
Interest here on my book. | 0:36:54 | 0:36:56 | |
I can go straight in at £28 and 30, | 0:36:56 | 0:36:59 | |
I'm asking 2 now. 30 I'm bid. Do I see 2? | 0:36:59 | 0:37:02 | |
5 I've got. 38, 40 and 2... | 0:37:02 | 0:37:04 | |
-Yes. -..a wonderful piece of vintage luggage. | 0:37:04 | 0:37:06 | |
£42 over there, bid me 5 now. | 0:37:06 | 0:37:08 | |
-Come on, one more, do I see? -Go on, just one more. | 0:37:08 | 0:37:11 | |
I sell to a lady, | 0:37:11 | 0:37:12 | |
all out we are, at £42. | 0:37:12 | 0:37:16 | |
Well done, Caroline, that's a profit. | 0:37:16 | 0:37:18 | |
It's +£7, there's nothing the matter with that, | 0:37:18 | 0:37:20 | |
which means you are -£58. | 0:37:20 | 0:37:23 | |
-Sounds like a winning score to me. -Oh, -58? | 0:37:23 | 0:37:26 | |
Well, could be a winning score. | 0:37:26 | 0:37:28 | |
You're absolutely right there, Seanie and the thing is, | 0:37:28 | 0:37:30 | |
-don't say a word to the Blues, all right? -No, no. | 0:37:30 | 0:37:33 | |
-Keep this our little secret, that -58. -Hope they did a lot worse! | 0:37:33 | 0:37:36 | |
OK? And as you say, it could be a winning score. | 0:37:36 | 0:37:39 | |
-Well now, do you know how the Reds got on? -No idea. -No idea. | 0:37:46 | 0:37:49 | |
Good, we don't want you to have any idea, either. | 0:37:49 | 0:37:52 | |
Anyway, you've got your Strand theatre lights. | 0:37:52 | 0:37:55 | |
Now, the Strand theatre lights that really make the money | 0:37:55 | 0:37:58 | |
are those cast aluminium things that sit on a tripod. | 0:37:58 | 0:38:01 | |
-Yeah. -They can make 2, 3, £400 a time. -Yeah. | 0:38:01 | 0:38:04 | |
These are floodlights... | 0:38:04 | 0:38:07 | |
Footlights or floodlights | 0:38:07 | 0:38:09 | |
and they're a different breed of Strand lamp to the | 0:38:09 | 0:38:12 | |
really valuable ones and I'm not quite sure | 0:38:12 | 0:38:15 | |
what they're going to bring. | 0:38:15 | 0:38:16 | |
Charles has put 30-50. You paid 90. | 0:38:16 | 0:38:19 | |
The lights will either go out on you, or they will shine, | 0:38:19 | 0:38:21 | |
one way or the other. | 0:38:21 | 0:38:23 | |
Anyway, first up is the Flying Scotsman sign, | 0:38:23 | 0:38:26 | |
absolutely F-A-B and here it comes. | 0:38:26 | 0:38:28 | |
My number is now 62, being shown to you there. Where do we start this? | 0:38:28 | 0:38:32 | |
I've got commissions at £20. | 0:38:32 | 0:38:35 | |
22, 25... | 0:38:35 | 0:38:36 | |
-there's hands everywhere, let's go. -Go on! | 0:38:36 | 0:38:39 | |
Miss White, 30, 35, 40, | 0:38:39 | 0:38:42 | |
45, 50, 45... | 0:38:42 | 0:38:45 | |
-Miss White? -Go on, Miss White! | 0:38:45 | 0:38:46 | |
"No", she says. 45 I'm bid. | 0:38:46 | 0:38:48 | |
All out, fair warning at £45. | 0:38:48 | 0:38:52 | |
-GAVEL BANGS -That's all right! | 0:38:52 | 0:38:54 | |
That's £15, that's a good profit, don't worry about that. | 0:38:54 | 0:38:57 | |
-Now, the Strand lights. -These are charming. | 0:38:57 | 0:39:00 | |
These are the mid-20th-century Strand electric... | 0:39:00 | 0:39:03 | |
This is your area of expertise. | 0:39:03 | 0:39:05 | |
I'm only bid here... Well, not a lot. | 0:39:05 | 0:39:07 | |
I've got £30, my commission. | 0:39:07 | 0:39:09 | |
-Go on, bit more than that! -30 I'm bid, do I see 2 now? | 0:39:09 | 0:39:12 | |
30 I'm bid, 32 online, we're live in the UK at 32. | 0:39:12 | 0:39:16 | |
Come on, let's go in the room. | 0:39:16 | 0:39:18 | |
-I'm asking -5. Go on! | 0:39:18 | 0:39:19 | |
-Fair warning all, to the net today. -No! | 0:39:19 | 0:39:22 | |
-We shall sell, all out, fair warning... -Uh-oh. -Oh, no. | 0:39:22 | 0:39:25 | |
..at £32. Sold. GAVEL BANGS | 0:39:25 | 0:39:28 | |
-He tried so hard. -He certainly did. | 0:39:28 | 0:39:30 | |
- David's fault, that. | 0:39:30 | 0:39:32 | |
--£58, dear, oh, dear. -Oh, well. | 0:39:32 | 0:39:34 | |
-Now, the radio. -OK. -Let's be positive. | 0:39:34 | 0:39:36 | |
I'm only bid here... | 0:39:36 | 0:39:39 | |
I've got £18 only. | 0:39:39 | 0:39:41 | |
Bid me 20, now. 18, I'm bid... | 0:39:41 | 0:39:43 | |
Miss Hornblower - 22...5... | 0:39:43 | 0:39:46 | |
I've got 8, 30... I'm out. | 0:39:46 | 0:39:48 | |
30 is my bid. | 0:39:48 | 0:39:50 | |
Bid me 2, surely? Come on, let's go! | 0:39:50 | 0:39:52 | |
Fair warning, Miss Hornblower, I sell to you. | 0:39:52 | 0:39:54 | |
I shall say going, going, gone. | 0:39:54 | 0:39:57 | |
-GAVEL BANGS -Well done, £30. | 0:39:57 | 0:39:59 | |
White face, which means you are -43. | 0:39:59 | 0:40:01 | |
What are you going to do about the teak tree section? | 0:40:01 | 0:40:05 | |
I think we're going to have to gamble, but it's your decision. | 0:40:05 | 0:40:09 | |
What do you think, Luce? | 0:40:09 | 0:40:10 | |
We've got faith in David. | 0:40:10 | 0:40:13 | |
-I think we should. -OK, yeah, we'll go for it. -Go with Dave? -Good. | 0:40:13 | 0:40:17 | |
I mean, a lot of people have in the past(!) | 0:40:17 | 0:40:19 | |
Well, we're going with the bonus buy. | 0:40:19 | 0:40:21 | |
We're going with the tree trunk and here it comes. | 0:40:21 | 0:40:23 | |
Well, we see all sorts in the sale - | 0:40:23 | 0:40:25 | |
it's an old piece of driftwood, but it's teak. | 0:40:25 | 0:40:28 | |
Where do we start this? | 0:40:28 | 0:40:29 | |
-Thank you, Carl, thank you very much. -Can we stand it up, Charles? | 0:40:29 | 0:40:33 | |
Of course we can. Yes, there we are, you can almost get inside it. | 0:40:33 | 0:40:36 | |
-And I've got £15. -Oh, dear. | 0:40:36 | 0:40:38 | |
-18, do I see now? -Go on. -Go on. | 0:40:38 | 0:40:41 | |
15 I'm bid, 18 do I see? | 0:40:41 | 0:40:43 | |
It's got to go. 18, 20... | 0:40:43 | 0:40:45 | |
-Go on! -..2. 22... | 0:40:45 | 0:40:48 | |
25, 28... | 0:40:48 | 0:40:50 | |
28, I'm bid. | 0:40:50 | 0:40:53 | |
It'd make a wonderful planter. 30...2... | 0:40:53 | 0:40:56 | |
2? 5? You've come so far. 38? | 0:40:56 | 0:40:58 | |
-38, 40... -Yes! -Well done. Well done, David. | 0:40:58 | 0:41:01 | |
-45. -Yes! -Miss Shaw, thank you. | 0:41:01 | 0:41:04 | |
40, I'm bid. Thank you, sir, back of the room. | 0:41:04 | 0:41:07 | |
At £40 today, it's over. GAVEL BANGS | 0:41:07 | 0:41:09 | |
Well done, Charles. | 0:41:09 | 0:41:11 | |
There we go, £40, that's +£5, so well done, David. | 0:41:11 | 0:41:15 | |
-Yay! -You were vindicated. -That was good fun. | 0:41:15 | 0:41:18 | |
Anyway... | 0:41:18 | 0:41:19 | |
So you were -43, you are now -£38, | 0:41:19 | 0:41:22 | |
so that's helped - thank you, David, brilliant - | 0:41:22 | 0:41:25 | |
and for all we know, -£38 could be a winning score. | 0:41:25 | 0:41:29 | |
-Don't say a word to the Reds, all right? -No. -No. | 0:41:29 | 0:41:31 | |
And all will be revealed in a moment. | 0:41:31 | 0:41:33 | |
Well done, thank you very much. | 0:41:33 | 0:41:35 | |
So teams, have we been chatting about the scores? | 0:41:40 | 0:41:42 | |
ALL: No. | 0:41:42 | 0:41:44 | |
Not directly? No? OK, fine. | 0:41:44 | 0:41:47 | |
No eye contact, nothing. | 0:41:47 | 0:41:48 | |
As you know, on Bargain Hunt, we don't have losers any more, | 0:41:50 | 0:41:52 | |
-we only have runners up. -Good. | 0:41:52 | 0:41:53 | |
And both teams today have made substantial losses, so... | 0:41:53 | 0:41:56 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:41:56 | 0:41:58 | |
The team with the most losses | 0:41:58 | 0:42:00 | |
and therefore the runners up today just happen to be... | 0:42:00 | 0:42:03 | |
The jolly old Reds. | 0:42:03 | 0:42:04 | |
SEAN, DONNA, CAROLINE: Aw! | 0:42:04 | 0:42:06 | |
-Oh, the shame! -You are -58, it... | 0:42:06 | 0:42:08 | |
It could've been a lot worse. | 0:42:08 | 0:42:10 | |
-Could have been a lot worse, could have been a lot different. -Yeah. | 0:42:10 | 0:42:13 | |
Watajoy, our suitcase. | 0:42:13 | 0:42:14 | |
-Thank God for suitcases. -Yeah, from our Caroline. | 0:42:14 | 0:42:17 | |
Anyway, that saved her a lot of embarrassment too. | 0:42:17 | 0:42:19 | |
-Have you had a nice time, Donna? -Oh, it's been brilliant, yeah. | 0:42:19 | 0:42:22 | |
-Loved it, Sean? -Really, good, yeah. -We've loved having you on the show. | 0:42:22 | 0:42:25 | |
Thanks so much for joining us. | 0:42:25 | 0:42:26 | |
The victors today, who go away with the mantle of victory, | 0:42:26 | 0:42:29 | |
with losses of -£38... | 0:42:29 | 0:42:31 | |
-We're good. -..are the Blues. -Woo-hoo! -Started off so nicely, didn't it, | 0:42:31 | 0:42:34 | |
-what with the £15 for the Flying Scotsman sign? -Yeah. | 0:42:34 | 0:42:38 | |
Then it all went downhill. | 0:42:38 | 0:42:39 | |
Strand lights are not that hot, it appears, in Derby. | 0:42:39 | 0:42:43 | |
No. | 0:42:43 | 0:42:44 | |
-But the large teak tree taught us a lesson, didn't it, David? -Hello. | 0:42:44 | 0:42:47 | |
Hello, it did, for a £5 note. | 0:42:47 | 0:42:50 | |
It wasn't the difference between victory and defeat, though. | 0:42:50 | 0:42:52 | |
-No, no, of course not. -Just to reiterate that. | 0:42:52 | 0:42:55 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:42:55 | 0:42:56 | |
-But it did have a ray of sunshine attached to it. -It did. | 0:42:56 | 0:42:59 | |
Congratulations for that. Anyway, we had a great day. | 0:42:59 | 0:43:01 | |
