0:00:03 > 0:00:08We have navigated our way to the watery West Midlands,
0:00:08 > 0:00:13where these very canals helped transform, in the 18th century,
0:00:13 > 0:00:14Staffordshire's economy,
0:00:14 > 0:00:18opening up trade routes for local industries like potting,
0:00:18 > 0:00:21brewing and engineering. But our teams are dead
0:00:21 > 0:00:26keen on locking onto a decent deal and barging off the old profits,
0:00:26 > 0:00:30so, let's go bargain hunting, yeah!
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Today, our teams are immersing themselves in the rafts
0:01:00 > 0:01:06of goodies over at the Stafford Antiques And Collectables Fair.
0:01:06 > 0:01:12They are longing to sink their £300 into objects which will
0:01:12 > 0:01:16float off and make them a huge profit over at the auction.
0:01:16 > 0:01:22So, why don't we now find out what floats their boats?
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Today on Bargain Hunt...
0:01:26 > 0:01:29The Reds are ruthless negotiators.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31- £65.- OK.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33- £65?- Yeah, he's already offered £65.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Oh, OK. Yes, I'll take it!
0:01:35 > 0:01:39- You did really well there. - THEY LAUGH
0:01:39 > 0:01:42While the Blues get a nasty fright.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Oh, my God!
0:01:44 > 0:01:45No, no, no!
0:01:49 > 0:01:52And the experts are smug and silly at auction.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Yes!
0:01:54 > 0:01:55Whoo-hoo!
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Let's meet today's teams.
0:02:01 > 0:02:02Well, what fun today.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Beth has brought her mother, Sue,
0:02:05 > 0:02:08and Imo has bought her dad, Henry.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- Hello, everyone.- Hello!- Hello! - Lovely to see you.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Now, Sue, you have navigated a strange
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- path in your professional life, haven't you?- I have, yes.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20I started out as an architect and now I am a wayfinding architect.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22What does that mean?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25So I design things to help people find their way,
0:02:25 > 0:02:29so that means designing signs and maps outside, inside,
0:02:29 > 0:02:32lots of interesting towns I've been to and cities.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34And what sort of a sign have you had as
0:02:34 > 0:02:37to how you're going to get on in Bargain Hunt?
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Well, we hope we're going to do quite well, but you never know.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44Now, Sue, it says here that you were introduced to this young lady
0:02:44 > 0:02:46rather sooner than you thought.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Well, yes, what happened was two weeks before she was due,
0:02:51 > 0:02:56we were in the theatre watching The Invisible Man, as it happens,
0:02:56 > 0:02:59and about halfway through the second half, I suddenly thought, "Oh,
0:02:59 > 0:03:02"something's happening here," but we were enjoying it
0:03:02 > 0:03:07so much I thought, "Well, let's just stay," but my waters had broken so...
0:03:08 > 0:03:11At the end of the theatre we then rushed out,
0:03:11 > 0:03:14rushed to the hospital and Beth was born about an hour later.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- How lovely.- So we were very lucky, got there just in time.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20As a result of that rather dramatic entry,
0:03:20 > 0:03:23I suppose it's had an effect on you, Beth, has it?
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Yeah, I studied film and TV at university
0:03:27 > 0:03:31and my latest film actually has been shortlisted for a film festival.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32- Congratulations.- Thank you.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34How lovely is that? And where does
0:03:34 > 0:03:35this ultimately take you, then, Beth?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38What you want to do at the end of your degree course and whatnot?
0:03:38 > 0:03:43Well, just by studying film, I do actually want to go into event
0:03:43 > 0:03:46planning, especially city cultural events.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50What has that got to do with your degree, pray?
0:03:50 > 0:03:51Well, it's the same sort of process,
0:03:51 > 0:03:53it's just the end element that's different.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Just tell me, what sort of things
0:03:55 > 0:03:58will you be looking out for to buy today on Bargain Hunt?
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Well, something novel, something interesting, unusual.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04- Yeah.- We're going to have a hoot anyway. Very good, girls.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06- Now, Henry.- Yes, Tim.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08You intend milking it for what it's worth today, don't you?
0:04:08 > 0:04:10- That's a good one, Tim. Yeah.- Thank you.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Somebody wrote that, I have to say.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- Because you are...- A dairy farmer.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18There we go. We've got it out. Well done.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- And how many cows have you got? - 250 at the moment, Tim.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Gosh, that's a serious herd.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28- And then you have to get up every day and milk them.- Yeah.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Have you got one of those lovely milking parlours where you
0:04:31 > 0:04:35- go around plugging these girls in like this?- Gosh, no, Tim.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37- We've moved on a bit now. - Have we? Oh.- Yeah.
0:04:37 > 0:04:38How do we milk them now?
0:04:38 > 0:04:40You put 15 aside and you have one unit that goes
0:04:40 > 0:04:42from one side to the other.
0:04:42 > 0:04:43- Oh, do you?- Yeah.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46And one person and just two and a half hours, and job's done.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48- Is it really? As quick as that. - Yeah.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50What sort of things do you like to get up to
0:04:50 > 0:04:52- when you have some leisure?- Leisure?
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Well, I do like farm sales.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- Whether you call that leisure, I don't know.- Well, I don't know.
0:04:57 > 0:04:58Good fun, hey.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02We do a bit of point-to-point racing which is out across the fields,
0:05:02 > 0:05:04not in a proper race track.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- And do you do any riding yourself?- No.- You avoid that?
0:05:07 > 0:05:09What about you, Imo? Do you do a bit of riding?
0:05:09 > 0:05:11I do, I do enjoy riding a bit, yeah.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13I've got a pony at home that I share with my sister.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15So what do you get up to on the farm, Imo?
0:05:15 > 0:05:19Well, the calves are sort of my side of things so I feed them
0:05:19 > 0:05:24in the mornings and the afternoons and check if everything is OK.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27If I am needed in the parlour then grudgingly I go and help milking.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30But you are particularly fond of moo-sic, I'm told.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32You got that right, yeah.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- Somebody wrote that too.- Yeah.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Yeah, I play the flute and the piano and I sing.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41And I was at agricultural college for two years at Harper Adams.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43And during the second year,
0:05:43 > 0:05:45I decided my course wasn't really for me -
0:05:45 > 0:05:48there was a bit too much maths involved and I sort of missed
0:05:48 > 0:05:52my music an awful lot - so I've decided to pack my bags.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- I'm off to Huddersfield.- Are you going to read a music degree, then?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57- Yes, music performance. - Nice, how lovely.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59So what is going to be in your field of view today?
0:05:59 > 0:06:03- What are you going to buy? - Something different, hopefully.
0:06:03 > 0:06:04I know what we don't want, don't we?
0:06:04 > 0:06:08- We don't want plates or cutlery or china.- All that boring stuff.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12- You see it everywhere.- Agricultural, Tim.- Oh, really?- Try for that.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- Ah!- And I'd quite like something a bit musical
0:06:15 > 0:06:16as well, get my own back.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19It seems to me we're going to have a splendid show.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Now, the money moment, there's your £300, £300.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24You know the rules, your experts await.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28And off you go and very, very, very good luck.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30No more farming puns, thank you.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Now, let's meet today's experts.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38These boots are made for walking.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40It's Thomas Plants for the Reds.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41Yee-haw!
0:06:41 > 0:06:43She is a big fan of antiques.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45For the Blues, it's Christina Trevanian.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Sue, Beth. Are you excited?
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- We're very excited, yes. - Very excited.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- Right, team.- Right. - Are we ready?- Ready as I'll ever be.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Now, what tickles your fancy, you lot?
0:06:54 > 0:06:56I quite like oak furniture.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57Yeah? And what about you, Sue?
0:06:57 > 0:07:01- Well, I just want to find things that are cheap...- Cheap?! Cheap?!
0:07:01 > 0:07:03We're in the antiques business!
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- Father and daughter duo. - That's right.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06Do you get on most of the time?
0:07:06 > 0:07:10- SHE LAUGHS - Yes. We love to argue.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Right, teams. Your time starts now.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Oh, happy days, let's go.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Let's go!
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- I love old things.- Old things, well, you're in the right place.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Yes, really old.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Don't be afraid to pick things up.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32Just look at the price!
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Oh, yeah. Move away.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- That's quite nice.- I don't... Do you think so? I'm not sure.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39No, OK, moving on!
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Our experts are going to have to work their socks off to
0:07:41 > 0:07:43please their teams today.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- You're a farmer, aren't you, Henry?- Yeah, I am.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Quite a nice agricultural...
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- Bucket.- Rustic bucket.- Bucket!
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- Bedroom chair?- Not a big fan.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Not a big fan? Let's move on then.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58Oh, God!
0:07:58 > 0:08:01No, it's not on the table, is it? No.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05I'm sorry. I'm trying for you, it's not working.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08You'll have to try harder, Christina.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Oh, it looks like the Reds are being drawn in by something.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- I like these sort of boxes. - Oh, that's quite fun, isn't it?
0:08:16 > 0:08:17If we got it for £15.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21So, Freeman Cigars. Freeman is Britain's...
0:08:21 > 0:08:23- Quite fun to mount on a wall. - It is, yeah.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- You could put all sorts of little nice...- Trinkets.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Trinkets and stuff in, yeah.
0:08:27 > 0:08:28You could put trinkets in
0:08:28 > 0:08:29and it's quite lovely having that
0:08:29 > 0:08:31bit of advertising on it there, isn't it?
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Well, it just looks a bit distinctive.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36It looks like something I've not seen before. I like the shape of it.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39For £15? What's the best on that? You've got £18 on it.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42- £12.- £12.- £12.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45That's a good thing, isn't it? It fits your requisite.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47It does, it's cheap! SHE LAUGHS
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Well, you can always ask, Beth.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- Why don't you go and ask? - I might do.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Go on, don't be shy. Go and ask.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56Hey...
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Would you possibly take ten pounds for it?
0:08:58 > 0:09:02- Yes, go on.- Ten pounds.- Ten pounds. - Yeah, all right, let's do that.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04- Yes?- You two drive a hard bargain. - Shake on it.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Thank you.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Beth's sweet and innocent charms
0:09:08 > 0:09:10have worked their magic on the dealer.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14- We got it for ten pounds!- Well done. - Fantastic.- That is really very good.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15- Yeah?- Ten pounds.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- You've got to make a profit on that, haven't you?- Yeah.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22That's your first item done. Is that the way we want to go?
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Good items for not a great deal of money.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Well, no, we might find nicer items...
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- That's a good starter. - It is a good one.- Yeah.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Come on then.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35Well done, Reds. 15 minutes in, one down, two to go.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37What have you found, Blues?
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- Oh, my God!- What's hiding?
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- There's a massive spider under there!- Oh, my God!
0:09:42 > 0:09:45No, no, no!
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Does that come with it?
0:09:47 > 0:09:49- No, no, no!- What shall I do with it?
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Oh, God, no!
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Hey, you're farm girl, Imo.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56I thought you were made of tougher stuff.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Beth's focused on something right up her street though.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04Is that the kind of thing that you would have used in your degree?
0:10:04 > 0:10:05That's great.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09Bolex, Swiss-made, a bit different to the camera we're using today,
0:10:09 > 0:10:11- isn't it?- Yes, just a little bit.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14But the lens is probably really good.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17You need to find a specialist auction for them. I really do.
0:10:17 > 0:10:18- Great thing.- Yes.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Let's carry on.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23I think it's a wrap on that one, Reds.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Over with the Blues, Christina is
0:10:25 > 0:10:27getting a wooden reception from Henry.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29What you think of this?
0:10:29 > 0:10:3025 quid?
0:10:30 > 0:10:32- Oh, £45!- £45. Yeah.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Just a really lovely piece of carved oak.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37I just think it's early 20th century,
0:10:37 > 0:10:40got the lovely acorns and leaves and I'm getting all carried away,
0:10:40 > 0:10:43aren't it? But I just think it's quite nice.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Quite nice. Nicely carved.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48You're not loving it?
0:10:48 > 0:10:49Not...
0:10:49 > 0:10:53- It looks a bit sort of dark, doesn't it?- It's beautiful!
0:10:53 > 0:10:56One man's trash is another woman's treasure.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00Acorns, a quintessential English tree.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02It's like the sort of thing you find in a church.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06- Could you use it for anything else, I wonder?- It's a letter rack, isn't it?
0:11:06 > 0:11:08- That's what it is, yeah.- What else could you use it for?- Not a lot.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12- Wine rack.- One bottle. - Loo roll rack.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Henry is not taken with Christina's charming little letter rack.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- Chocolate moulds.- Henry, no!
0:11:18 > 0:11:20That's you told.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Sorry!
0:11:22 > 0:11:23SHE LAUGHS
0:11:23 > 0:11:26She gets quite fierce, doesn't she?
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Let's ask the price and see what they say.
0:11:29 > 0:11:30- Hello.- Hello.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34What would your best be on the letter rack?
0:11:34 > 0:11:36I can't remember what's on that.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38- Don't look at it.- £15.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Fiver, I think.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42You're making things up.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45£35, Christina.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48£35. I think that's lovely. No pressure.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51But we could do with a purchase. And I think this is a lovely thing.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53- I do quite like this stall, though. - Nice pieces here.
0:11:53 > 0:11:54Lots of nice things.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Yeah, good rustic, agricultural sort of things, aren't they?
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Have a good look around, but I would like you to buy something
0:11:59 > 0:12:01- within the next couple of minutes, OK?- OK.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Well said, Christina. Shake a leg.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Is Thomas having any more luck with the Reds?
0:12:07 > 0:12:08It looks like...
0:12:08 > 0:12:12- The light isn't attached. - Oh, good.- Give it a spin.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Isn't that lovely?
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Good bit of solid treen on there.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- I think that's a cake... Do you think it's a cake...?- Cake stand?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Well, you could use it for cakes because they're very popular.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25I think it's more likely for pots from Staffordshire.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- Oh, of course, yes.- We're in Stafford here, Staffordshire.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- So how much is it? Let's have a look.- £85.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Oh, it says painter's wheel.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Painter's wheel, so it could be for painting pots, painting glass.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- I think it's rather stylish. - I quite like it, yeah.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42I can't decide, do you think this is sycamore?
0:12:42 > 0:12:43- The wood.- Yes.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47It's a sycamore top, so very, very hard wood on a cast-iron base.
0:12:47 > 0:12:54The base has got a mark here for the G Hassle Ltd.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Cast iron. And that is Colbridge,
0:12:57 > 0:12:59that's where it has been made.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01What's the best on that?
0:13:01 > 0:13:05- £65.- £65.- Yeah.- I think that is a good thing. What you think?
0:13:05 > 0:13:10- I like it.- Should we go for it? - How much? £65?- £65.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12- £65.- OK.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- £65?- Yeah, well he's already offered £65.- Oh!
0:13:15 > 0:13:17- OK, yes, I'll take it. - Thank you very much.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20You did really well there. Thank you, sir. Pleasure.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Thank you very much.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Well done, Reds. That's two down in 20 minutes.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29Meanwhile, the Blues are still cooking up a storm at the stall.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32It came out of a big house, it could go back in a big house, couldn't it?
0:13:32 > 0:13:35It could go over a range, like a cooker range.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- As a mantelpiece sort of thing. - Yeah.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41If somebody has got the right property, it's a fantastic item.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44But I have to say, it's just my opinion,
0:13:44 > 0:13:49but I think there is a bigger market for that and you're spending less.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51- Yeah, more people would buy that than that.- Exactly.
0:13:51 > 0:13:52- Let's go for that.- Yeah?
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Oh, she's won him round.
0:13:54 > 0:13:59- So would you do that at £30? - £35.- £30.- £35.- £30.- £35.- £30.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01We're taking a bit of firewood away for you.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03I know, but won't keep the house warm, that one.
0:14:03 > 0:14:04THEY LAUGH
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- £30. You got a deal. - Yeah, go on. Yeah.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09You're a star. Thank you.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13Our Christina sure knows how to get her own way.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17- Exactly. - 35 minutes left still to shop.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21Have you found a third item yet, Thomas?
0:14:21 > 0:14:22Beth, so what about this?
0:14:25 > 0:14:28A display cabinet for a shop display,
0:14:28 > 0:14:30but what's interesting is the shape of it.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34It's got quite an interesting sort of juxtaposition of shape
0:14:34 > 0:14:35and I love...
0:14:35 > 0:14:38What I really like are the sliding doors.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Oh, no, I do like that.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42You can imagine it being in a shop where there'd be
0:14:42 > 0:14:45things on display, sweeties or something.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49- How much is it?- Very best is £125.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52£125.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56- It's a bit steep.- It is. - It is nice though, isn't it?
0:14:56 > 0:15:00It's got a lot going for it. But I know what you mean, that's a good...
0:15:00 > 0:15:03If it was under £100, I think we might...
0:15:03 > 0:15:06I think that's going to be quite difficult. I think that is.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08- I'm going to go and have a chat.- All right.
0:15:10 > 0:15:15Back on the farm, Henry and Imogen are hard at work.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Oh, it works.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20SHE LAUGHS
0:15:20 > 0:15:23I have a lot more success driving this than the ones at home.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Didn't think I'd come here and buy a tractor.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- I suppose I've got to, really, haven't I?- I think, yeah.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32- I mean, it's not refined or... - It's a bit raw, isn't it?
0:15:32 > 0:15:35It's quite rustic, but you've got to buy a tractor, haven't you?
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Got to buy a tractor.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39- I've got to buy it. - Would you take ten or £15 on it?
0:15:39 > 0:15:43I'll take £15, but I can't go any lower than that.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45£15, it gives you a chance.
0:15:45 > 0:15:46Do you want to go £15?
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Someone will have a laugh after £15, won't they?
0:15:48 > 0:15:50I don't know. Do you like it?
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Well, we're struggling for time now, aren't we? So...
0:15:52 > 0:15:55We are. We are getting very close on time.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57What do we think? £15, guys.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01- Mmm.- What's your thoughts? Running out of time.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05- Henry?- Henry?
0:16:05 > 0:16:08- It's not go to make less than £15.- It might.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11If it doesn't, we're only losing not a huge amount.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- It'll be a laugh, won't it? - Yeah, let's go. Get it, get it.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- Shake the lady's hand. Say thank you very much.- Thank you very much.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Thank you very much.
0:16:19 > 0:16:24- It takes some getting £15 out of me. - I'll take them away.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27All right, you lot, let's plough on, shall we?
0:16:28 > 0:16:31You have one item left to buy. What's it to be?
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- A tractor for you.- A tractor, yeah.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37It would be nice to get something musical for Imogen, wouldn't it?
0:16:37 > 0:16:39- OK.- What do you think?- Yeah.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Something musical or...
0:16:41 > 0:16:43We'll buy one of our own and argue over the third.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Yeah, what do you think?
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Yeah, I'll keep my eye out for one.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Keep your eyes peeled for something that you like the look of.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Look out, Imo.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56Right, has Thomas secured a good price on glass display cabinet?
0:16:56 > 0:16:59- It's £120.- Right.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01I don't mind, I think it's quite a good thing.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03I think it's nice, I just sort of worry
0:17:03 > 0:17:05whether with make a profit on it.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- It is a lovely item.- It is a lovely item. It's quality.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12- How long have we got left? - We've not got long, ten minutes.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14So we could hold this in abeyance.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Could she hold it for us for ten minutes?
0:17:16 > 0:17:18I'm sure she'd hold it for us in abeyance. I'm sure she would.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21And let's have another go. We'll look at something else.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23- Where do you want to go? - I don't know but I just...
0:17:23 > 0:17:24I think we're pushing it quite tight.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27I'm a bit nervous about it so I don't want to make a decision.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30No, it's a lot of money cos you've not spent three figures on an item.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32No, I'm not very good at spending lots of money.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34The issue we've got, you said £120 was your death,
0:17:34 > 0:17:37and I know I'm pushing you and I feel so uncomfortable...
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Oh, yeah, he's working his magic.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41OK, £100. That's the best.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43£100.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- I think that is... I think we'll do it, shall we?- Yeah.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49I think that's very good.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51- We'll go for it.- We'll take it.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Thank you very much. I'm sorry I pushed you so hard.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- But I think that's our third and final.- Yes.- Yes.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59- Well done.- Well, that went very quickly.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03- You spent a grand total of £175. - That's quite good, actually.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07It is jolly good. Three items down and it's all over for you the Reds.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Now, the Blues are striking a chord with Imogen,
0:18:10 > 0:18:13but aren't quite hitting the right notes.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15- # Doo-doo-doo-doo! # - No, it's not going to work.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18No, I don't think. We don't know what it is.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Don't know what it is, I just saw keys and I was drawn.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24- How much is it?- £20. - Do you know what it is?
0:18:24 > 0:18:27These guys really know their stuff, don't they?
0:18:27 > 0:18:29What's that noise?
0:18:29 > 0:18:32It's not very refined, though. It's a bit of a basic model, isn't it?
0:18:32 > 0:18:35We know it's there. We can come back for it.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Cor, they're making a right song and dance of this one.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41JAZZ MUSIC PLAYS Now that is a soft tone needle.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- And it's doing all the ridges. - It's quite fuzzy, isn't it?
0:18:44 > 0:18:48So if you want something a bit harder, you put in another needle.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51Do you get many records with it?
0:18:53 > 0:18:55- I can give you a record with it. - That's what we like.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59There's just something about the sound of the record
0:18:59 > 0:19:04player that is so evocative, isn't it? Such a past era, love it.
0:19:04 > 0:19:09- How much is this one? - That is £115.- £115.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13- And that one is £90.- That one is £95.- That one's £95?- Yes.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16That one... It's a lot more eye-catching, that one, isn't it?
0:19:16 > 0:19:19It is in good condition, isn't it? Which is everything now, isn't it?
0:19:19 > 0:19:23What would your absolute death be on that for us?
0:19:23 > 0:19:25What would you be willing to...?
0:19:25 > 0:19:27- I could do you that for £90.- £90.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31- And would that include the record? - I'll throw the record in.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- There's also a pack of needles. - There's a pack of needles in there.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36I think it is so appropriate for you. You are so musical.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38We've got a tractor, we've got a music thing
0:19:38 > 0:19:40and we've got something in between.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Any more than can come off that price?
0:19:43 > 0:19:47It could make all the difference between winning and losing for us.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- Come on!- He's weakening.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53I can see him smile.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57- What about £85.- £85.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00He started off at £115.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02What's your thoughts? Come on, Amy. This is yours.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06- I want it.- You want it? - Yeah, I want it.- OK, £85?- Yeah.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08- You happy?- Yeah.- Are we done?- Yeah.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- Let me shake your hand. - Thank you very much.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13- Ooh, my goodness!- Oh, steady.
0:20:13 > 0:20:14Thank you so much.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16That's all he wanted!
0:20:16 > 0:20:19THEY LAUGH
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Well done, team. That's it!
0:20:21 > 0:20:23It's all over.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26- You got quite a bit left, actually. - Don't say that!
0:20:26 > 0:20:27Shhh!
0:20:27 > 0:20:30We've got none at all, none at all.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:20:33 > 0:20:39They burnt through a mere ten pounds on a cigar display box.
0:20:39 > 0:20:45An early-20th-century rotating painter's wheel was theirs for £65.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48They literally blew a tonne of money on a mahogany
0:20:48 > 0:20:49and glass display cabinet.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54What a mother and daughter combo, hey?
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Gosh, did you look at some stuff?
0:20:56 > 0:20:58- Oh, yeah.- We did. Quite a lot.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01- And it all finished up vaguely similar, which is healthy.- Yes.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03So, which is your favourite piece?
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Mine is the painter's table.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07And, Ma, what's your favourite piece?
0:21:07 > 0:21:09I think the angled display cabinet.
0:21:09 > 0:21:10OK, that's your favourite.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- Is that going to bring the biggest profit?- No.- What is?
0:21:13 > 0:21:15I think the little cigar case.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16OK, you see the biggest profit there.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18- What do you think? - I think the painter's table.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22- OK, stick with your first... - I stand by it.- So sweet.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- OK, fine. And how much did you spend?- We spent 175.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26- That is a mature amount of money... - Yes.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29And I would like £125 of leftover lolly, please.
0:21:29 > 0:21:30OK, Tom.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32- There you go, 125. - Thank you.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33What are you going to spend it on?
0:21:33 > 0:21:37Do you know...you're such a perfect contradiction, you two.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39- I have no idea! - THEY LAUGH
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Well, that's exciting for us. Thank you, Tom.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Meanwhile, we're going to check out
0:21:43 > 0:21:45what the Blue team bought, aren't we?
0:21:46 > 0:21:50They bought a carved oak letter rack for £30.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55They ploughed £15 into a little toy tractor.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57How sweet.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04They were in a spin with a 1950s record player for £85.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08- Well, how was that you, Henry? - Pretty good, Tim.- Was it?
0:22:08 > 0:22:11- How much did you spend?- 130.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12Quite a lot for a farmer, isn't it?
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- It is. Too much. Too much. - THEY LAUGH
0:22:15 > 0:22:19- Well, Imo, how was it for you, Imo? - Had a really good time, thank you.
0:22:19 > 0:22:20Day out with Dad, how lovely.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- So, who's got the leftover lolly? - I have, I've been trusted with it.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25- Have you?- Which is a little bit of a surprise.- OK, fine.
0:22:25 > 0:22:26Well, I'll hang on to that.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- I won't count it cos I trust you, Imo.- Oh, thank you.
0:22:29 > 0:22:30And which is your favourite piece?
0:22:30 > 0:22:32My favourite is definitely the gramophone.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Gramophone's a favourite.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35- Do you agree with that, Dad?- No.- No.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37No, of course he doesn't.
0:22:37 > 0:22:38I bought a tractor.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Oh, that's your favourite piece.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Of course. And, um...
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Which is going to bring the biggest profit, Imo?
0:22:44 > 0:22:47- I personally think the gramophone, but...- Yeah?
0:22:47 > 0:22:49- Clearly, your father wouldn't.- No. - So, your tractor will?
0:22:49 > 0:22:51I think there's profit in it, yeah.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53- So our consultant said. - Oh, yes, exactly.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- Lovely.- Your cash there. - Thank you, my love.- Thank you.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- Go and do your worst...- I will. - ..or your best.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01- Got any ideas?- Look!- I know.
0:23:01 > 0:23:02I might get a bit giddy with this.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Meanwhile, we're heading off to the Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Gosh, how spangly.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15From supplying high street stores with affordable jewellery,
0:23:15 > 0:23:19to feeding the lavish tastes of London's West End
0:23:19 > 0:23:21and the opulent palaces of the Middle East,
0:23:21 > 0:23:25Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter is a living, evolving community
0:23:25 > 0:23:29of craftspeople, manufacturers and retailers,
0:23:29 > 0:23:33and home to a staggering 500 jewellery businesses.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40Today's Jewellery Quarter, though, is just a reflection
0:23:40 > 0:23:43of what this place was like in its heyday
0:23:43 > 0:23:46because around 1900,
0:23:46 > 0:23:51apparently some 60 to 70,000 people depended on their livelihood
0:23:51 > 0:23:53from the jewellery trade from this place
0:23:53 > 0:23:57which, of course, contributed to Birmingham becoming known as
0:23:57 > 0:23:59the workshop of the world.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08When the whistles blew at the end of the working day,
0:24:08 > 0:24:10the streets of the quarter would fill
0:24:10 > 0:24:13with hordes of workers and craftspeople
0:24:13 > 0:24:17and become engulfed by the hustle and bustle of crowds and trams.
0:24:17 > 0:24:22A jewellery metropolis less than a mile from Birmingham city centre.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25I'm here at the Museum of the Jewellery Quarter
0:24:25 > 0:24:28and former site of jewellers Smith and Pepper,
0:24:28 > 0:24:30with curator Oliver Buckley.
0:24:31 > 0:24:36Well, Oliver, this workshop is just extraordinary, isn't it?
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Look at this lot.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Now, you can really see how it's a time capsule
0:24:41 > 0:24:43and everything really just left as it was
0:24:43 > 0:24:44the last day of trade.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48They downed tools, as we say, and put them on the benches,
0:24:48 > 0:24:51they hung their jackets on the wall there,
0:24:51 > 0:24:54their grubby work jackets they'd no doubt worn for 40 years.
0:24:54 > 0:24:55- And that was it.- Amazing, isn't it?
0:24:55 > 0:25:00So, these are technically silversmiths or goldsmiths benches
0:25:00 > 0:25:02with all the tools and all the rest of it.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06And how many would have been working in this factory space?
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Think about 20 people would be working here as jewellers
0:25:09 > 0:25:11around the benches, engraving things,
0:25:11 > 0:25:13and, of course, the women running other parts of
0:25:13 > 0:25:14the jewellery-making process.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18And they worked for the firm, these chaps, man and boy, did they?
0:25:18 > 0:25:19Absolutely.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23We think a lot of jewellers trained from about the age of 14
0:25:23 > 0:25:26and they did about a seven-year apprenticeship,
0:25:26 > 0:25:30so it was a very long and, you know, demanding period
0:25:30 > 0:25:32to become a fully qualified jeweller.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35But people really wanted to do it because it was slightly higher-paid
0:25:35 > 0:25:38than your average sort of factory work.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Behind me, there's an incredible array of what look like
0:25:40 > 0:25:42stamps or punchers.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44I mean, hundreds of them.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Absolutely, I mean, this is, in a way,
0:25:46 > 0:25:49the intellectual property right of the firm really.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51They've got about 7,000 here, we think.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53- Gosh.- Individual designs.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55And what, essentially, the technology is
0:25:55 > 0:25:56is quite simple, really,
0:25:56 > 0:25:59which is a die which is the bottom part of the press
0:25:59 > 0:26:02and then a stamp or punch that punches out the shape
0:26:02 > 0:26:04so the two fit together perfectly
0:26:04 > 0:26:07and out pops your, in this case, cross shape.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10So, your nine carat gold crucifix comes out of the bottom.
0:26:10 > 0:26:15And you use a fly press like that, do you, to do the squashing bit?
0:26:15 > 0:26:19Yes, and that presses or stamps or crimps or punches out shapes
0:26:19 > 0:26:23- in the sheet gold that they use as their raw material.- Yeah...
0:26:23 > 0:26:25So, what happens down these corridors?
0:26:25 > 0:26:26What went on on the right there?
0:26:26 > 0:26:29You've got the, what we call, the drop stamp pit,
0:26:29 > 0:26:31and that's a bigger type of weighted stamp
0:26:31 > 0:26:33that really thumps down on the sheet metal
0:26:33 > 0:26:36and presses in really more detailed designs.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40That was the domain of one particular man who worked at the factory
0:26:40 > 0:26:41called Arthur Brewer.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44And he almost became part of the Smith and Pepper family, really,
0:26:44 > 0:26:46because he started in the 1920s
0:26:46 > 0:26:48and he worked right through to the end,
0:26:48 > 0:26:50so about 61 years, we think,
0:26:50 > 0:26:52in that drop pit, stamp pit, every day.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56And, in fact, you can see where he's worn the oak step
0:26:56 > 0:26:58by putting his foot up and stamping down on the metal.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01And he really worked here boy and man.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Gosh, isn't that marvellous?
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Now, let's shimmy on over to see our teams
0:27:06 > 0:27:09and see if they can sparkle at auction.
0:27:20 > 0:27:21What could be nicer?
0:27:21 > 0:27:25Cathedral City with the top chorister,
0:27:25 > 0:27:28our Richard Winterton from Richard Winterton Auctioneers.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- Ricardo.- And welcome. - Thank you very much.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35For a kick-off, you've got this Freeman cigar display cabinet.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Now, where do you think that might have been used?
0:27:38 > 0:27:40I think, looking at it, it's going to be behind a bar.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Do we think hotel?
0:27:42 > 0:27:44I don't think it's a shop one, it's too small for that,
0:27:44 > 0:27:47so I think it's something that would have been up for display
0:27:47 > 0:27:48for someone to have their cigars.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51And would sell out of them. Yeah, exactly.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53You could put your dinky toys in there, couldn't you?
0:27:53 > 0:27:55You could do, or a little something, yeah.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57- And how much will they pay? - About 20 to 30.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59- We've gone 20 to 30 and... - Have you?
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Yeah, and now I'm looking at this,
0:28:01 > 0:28:04- I'm thinking 20 to 30 looks a bit top end.- OK. Well, they paid
0:28:04 > 0:28:06ten pounds, so anything more than ten pounds is fine.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08OK, that's a good start.
0:28:08 > 0:28:13Um, now we've got this cast-iron stool or potter's wheel
0:28:13 > 0:28:15or whatever it is.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17- It's a handsome lump.- Yeah, yeah.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19- It's just on trend, isn't it, this stuff?- Yeah, tremendous.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22That kind of industrial look is really in at the moment.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24And quite excited about that lot, you know.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27- Already had quite a bit of interest. - Have you? What's it going to bring?
0:28:27 > 0:28:30I think we're going to be 80 to 100, and the top end of that.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32- Super, £65 spent.- Yeah, yeah.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Now, the mahogany and glass display cabinet
0:28:34 > 0:28:38is kind of handy for anybody who's got a little collection.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41Yeah, and it's the sort of thing that is easy to sell,
0:28:41 > 0:28:45there's always people wanting them who have got fairs to go to
0:28:45 > 0:28:47and who want... I don't think it's a home one,
0:28:47 > 0:28:49I think it's more of a commercial job.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51I think it's a shop job, don't you?
0:28:51 > 0:28:53- Late Victorian shop fitting, really. - Yep.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55Nicely made and it'll tickle up beautifully.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57- What's it worth? - We've got 80 to 100, again,
0:28:57 > 0:28:59hopefully it'll take the top end.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01- OK, it needs to cos they paid £100. - OK.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05But overall, I think they've paid sensible money for sensible objects.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07They probably won't need the bonus buy,
0:29:07 > 0:29:09but let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13Beth, Sue, you gave your man £125.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Tom likes a spend up. Don't you, Tom?
0:29:15 > 0:29:16I do like a spend up,
0:29:16 > 0:29:21but I thought maybe I should follow your frugal antics,
0:29:21 > 0:29:23and I bought this.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26Now, this may not look like very much like this,
0:29:26 > 0:29:29but it's folded.
0:29:29 > 0:29:30But when you open it up
0:29:30 > 0:29:34and you put it down, and look at the little table you've got.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36It's a campaign table,
0:29:36 > 0:29:39and this is an ideal thing by the side of your bed,
0:29:39 > 0:29:42in your tent, putting your sort of glass of water on.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45And somebody's done little pokerwork around here.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49- What you think, Beth?- Um... - You hate it!- I don't hate it.
0:29:49 > 0:29:50I can see that.
0:29:50 > 0:29:51It doesn't wow me.
0:29:51 > 0:29:55Well, it's not going to wow you for the money I paid!
0:29:55 > 0:29:57- How much did you pay?- Guess!
0:29:57 > 0:29:59- A tenner?- Oh, for...
0:30:00 > 0:30:03If I got it for a tenner, I'd be over the moon!
0:30:03 > 0:30:06- You are talking to a student here, OK?- Yeah.- £30?
0:30:06 > 0:30:09- No, it was 20.- Oh, OK. - It was £20.- 20?
0:30:09 > 0:30:11Well, I like it a bit more now.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14- You like it a bit more. It's all about the money, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16So how much do you think it will make?
0:30:16 > 0:30:19- At least a tenner.- Yes.- At least. - Yeah, I would've thought that, yeah.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21- There's a prediction, OK, girls?- OK.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23Anyway, you don't pick it now, you pick it later.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25But for the audience at home, right now,
0:30:25 > 0:30:28let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Tom's table.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32It's, technically, a little coaching table
0:30:32 > 0:30:34with a walnut pokerwork top.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37I think the thing, all-round, has had quite a hard life, hasn't it?
0:30:37 > 0:30:41It has. It's got a little bit of movement to it, it's...
0:30:41 > 0:30:43It's OK, isn't it? Just a nice little occasional table.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46- And what's your valuation? - 20 to 30.- OK, £20 paid.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49Well, that's it for the Reds, bless 'em.
0:30:49 > 0:30:50And now, for the Blues,
0:30:50 > 0:30:53who I think have got some more interesting things here,
0:30:53 > 0:30:57because their first item is the oak letter rack...
0:30:58 > 0:31:01..carved with berries and leaves.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04- Was a useful thing to have.- Exactly.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06- Um...- first class I'd say.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08- RICHARD LAUGHS - Oh, dear.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10So, how do you rate this sort of thing, Richard?
0:31:10 > 0:31:12We've only put 10-15 on it.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15It's a bit dark and a bit dismal and...
0:31:15 > 0:31:18- Apart from that?- Apart from that... - Very nice.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20- It's very nice(!) Well, it's nicely carved.- It is nicely carved.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22- I can give it that.- Yeah, exactly.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25- £30 they paid, so you're going to need to work hard on that.- Yeah.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28Next is the wooden tractor.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32Scratch built, so built by a proud father at home
0:31:32 > 0:31:35- with love and care for his little nipper.- Yep.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38- Probably, I guess, in the 1950s, right?- Yep.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40- They've tried very hard. - Haven't they?- Yeah.
0:31:40 > 0:31:41Extremely trying.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43It's still not going to get me much up from the ten to 15.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45- OK, well they only spent £15...- Ah.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47- ..so that's all right. - Clever move, yeah.- Clever move.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50And, um, if you fancy giving us a tune,
0:31:50 > 0:31:53you could always have a go on this portable record player.
0:31:53 > 0:31:54That is super, isn't it?
0:31:55 > 0:31:57And, as a good, yeah, good example, isn't it?
0:31:57 > 0:32:00- Nice and clean, good example... - Yeah, clean, ready to go.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03I mean, HMV, the very best make.
0:32:03 > 0:32:07I mean, you can imagine playing that on the banks of the River Cam.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09You're out punting one afternoon.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12Have a little dance on the river bank.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14In your dreams.
0:32:14 > 0:32:1630 to 40 from us.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Is that all? Seriously, is that all?
0:32:18 > 0:32:20It might get a touch more, but I can't...
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Would you get £85 for it?
0:32:22 > 0:32:25- Whoo-hoo.- See what I mean? I don't want to go against you, Rich,
0:32:25 > 0:32:27cos you're the maestro of selling these things.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29I hope you aren't struggling at 30 to 40,
0:32:29 > 0:32:31- cos I think it's a good £85 worth. - OK.- OK.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33Well, that's it, then.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35So, depending on how the record player goes
0:32:35 > 0:32:37will determine whether they need the bonus buy,
0:32:37 > 0:32:39but let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42Now, chickens, £130 was spent.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45That meant that Christina had £170 of leftover lolly.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47A small fortune by any standards.
0:32:47 > 0:32:48What did you spend it on?
0:32:48 > 0:32:51- I love it.- Oo!- All right. - I really, really, really love it.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55- It's a box.- And inside this wonderful box...- Oh, wow.- Oh.
0:32:55 > 0:32:56Gosh, a set.
0:32:56 > 0:33:00Is this really rather lovely set of studs, cufflinks
0:33:00 > 0:33:02made by a company called Asprey.
0:33:02 > 0:33:03Oh, I've heard of them.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05Now, you are a quality pair,
0:33:05 > 0:33:08so I have bought you a piece of quality.
0:33:08 > 0:33:09This really is quality.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13We've got white gold, we've got mother-of-pearl
0:33:13 > 0:33:14and little sea pearls in the middle.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18- Very delicate, very wearable, very beautiful.- Right.
0:33:18 > 0:33:19Still useful today, not only by a man,
0:33:19 > 0:33:21who it would have been made for,
0:33:21 > 0:33:23but a lady could use those cufflinks as well.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27- So, they are still usable today. - You sold it, anyway.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30- How much do you think, well, did you spend?- Oh, yeah, how much?
0:33:30 > 0:33:32- Well, you gave me 170...- Yes.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34..and I spent 170.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Did you manage to wangle it down a bit, or was it...?
0:33:36 > 0:33:39I did. I believe they were marked up about £350.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41- Oh, wow!- Good Lord!- Well done.
0:33:41 > 0:33:42So, I... Yeah.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45- Are you happy with that, Hen? - I don't know.- Oh...- Oh!
0:33:45 > 0:33:47What do you mean you don't know?
0:33:47 > 0:33:51- It's a bit...top end. - It is a risk, it is a risk.
0:33:51 > 0:33:52What do you think, Imo?
0:33:52 > 0:33:57I like them, and I like the fact that we knocked nearly £200 off.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59- Lovely, yes? Happy with that? - Yes, happy.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01You don't decide now, you decide later.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03But let's find out what the auctioneer thinks
0:34:03 > 0:34:04about Christina's little set.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Well, look at that. A dress set.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Look, cufflinks, studs,
0:34:10 > 0:34:12back stud, front stud.
0:34:12 > 0:34:16- They've done well to find this. Hasn't she?- Asprey's.
0:34:16 > 0:34:22White gold, mother-of-pearl, seed pearl, complete.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25- What more could you ask for, Richard?- You've said it all.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27It's got the name, it's got everything, it's a great look...
0:34:27 > 0:34:29I think she's done fab to find it.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33Again, depends what she's paid for it, but we've put...
0:34:33 > 0:34:36Well, we've put 100 to 120 on it. Probably slightly cautious.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39- It should do well more than that. - Might it make 200?
0:34:39 > 0:34:41- It's worth 200, isn't it? - It is really.- It is worth that.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43Are we going to get that? It should do.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46- OK. £170 she paid. - Well, there you go.- Yeah.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48I mean, she's pretty sharp on this stuff.
0:34:48 > 0:34:49- Are you confident?- I am.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52I've never known you not be confident.
0:34:52 > 0:34:53Excellent. The auction awaits.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58At eight pounds, at eight pounds. No-one else coming at eight pounds?
0:34:58 > 0:35:01£20...
0:35:01 > 0:35:03- BANGS GAVEL - 708, thank you.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06- Sue, Beth, how're you feeling? - A bit nervous.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08What have you got to be nervous about?
0:35:08 > 0:35:09- It's just excitement.- Is it?- Yeah.
0:35:09 > 0:35:13- Is there anything that you wish you hadn't bought?- No.- No?
0:35:13 > 0:35:16- You like everything you've bought? - I like everything we bought...
0:35:16 > 0:35:17And quite right too.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20First up, though, is the cigar shop cabinet,
0:35:20 > 0:35:21and here it comes.
0:35:21 > 0:35:22Where are we going to be? Nothing on my book.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25Two pound to start me. Start it off, two pound.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28Two bed, four bid, six bid, ten bid.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30Ten bid, internet. Ten bid, ten bid.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33- 15, the internet...- We paid ten!
0:35:33 > 0:35:35£20, I'm bid. £20...
0:35:35 > 0:35:3725, the room. 25, the room.
0:35:37 > 0:35:3925, the room. 25, the room.
0:35:39 > 0:35:4025 in the room.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43£30, the room. £30 in the room.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45At 30. 30, 30.
0:35:45 > 0:35:46In the room at 30.

0:41:18 > 0:41:21- Have you teams been chatting to one another at all?- OTHERS: No.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24- Not about the results, anyway. - Not about the results, anyway.

0:41:36 > 0:41:40- The Blues are going home with five pounds in cash.- Yay!
0:41:40 > 0:41:43Which is...in Bargain Hunt terms, a substantial amount.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45Look, Henry's coming straightforward.
0:41:45 > 0:41:49This is the farming father taking the aggressive pose.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Um, it started out beautifully
0:41:51 > 0:41:53with a ten-pound unexpected profit on the letter rack,
0:41:53 > 0:41:55then a wiped face,
0:41:55 > 0:41:57and a tiny little loss on the gramophone, sadly.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00And, um, you then stood with the five pounds
0:42:00 > 0:42:03and could not sum up courage to support Christina
0:42:03 > 0:42:07in her white gold and whatnot dress set,
0:42:07 > 0:42:09leaving you with five pound.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11- Better than nothing, isn't it? - It's better than nothing.

0:42:25 > 0:42:26£20 on that cigar case.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28Who ever would have thought that?
0:42:28 > 0:42:34- £35 on that revolving stool, and the wiped face, yes?- Yes.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36And you didn't go with the bonus buy
0:42:36 > 0:42:39because you didn't support the table...initiative of Tom's,
0:42:39 > 0:42:41which made another five-pounds profit.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43You could've made 60, but you're going home with 55,
0:42:43 > 0:42:45- which is pretty good. - It's pretty good.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47- You're pleased with it? - Very pleased.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49- For a student, it's a fortune, right?- Yes!
