They say that small is beautiful, so Swinderby in Lincolnshire,

0:00:030:00:06

with a population of just over 700, should be drop-dead gorgeous.

0:00:060:00:11

But today, this rural community is

0:00:110:00:13

experiencing something of a population explosion

0:00:130:00:16

because the antique fair's in town and I have a primeval urge.

0:00:160:00:21

So, let's go ape, let's go bargain-hunting.

0:00:210:00:24

What the village of Swinderby lacks in the way of size,

0:00:520:00:56

this fair sure makes up with, with swagger.

0:00:560:00:59

There are enough stalls here for our teams to negotiate around,

0:00:590:01:04

so let's take a sneaky peek at what's coming up.

0:01:040:01:08

The Reds are up against the clock and each other.

0:01:100:01:13

-What about that there? What about that?

-No.

0:01:130:01:14

You say no to everything!

0:01:140:01:16

While the Blues just get downright quirky.

0:01:170:01:20

-I love buying things that are a bit out of the ordinary.

-Really, do you?

0:01:200:01:23

I hadn't got that from you.

0:01:230:01:25

And there's more fun to be had at the auction.

0:01:260:01:28

-I'm asking 60,

-5. Yes!

0:01:280:01:30

Now, come on. Let's wind it up.

0:01:310:01:33

Throw in a camel!

0:01:330:01:35

Today, for the Reds, we have Peter and Faye

0:01:360:01:40

and for the Blues,

0:01:400:01:41

we have Arvind and Geeta.

0:01:410:01:44

-Hello, everyone.

-Hello.

0:01:440:01:46

Now, you're good friends.

0:01:460:01:48

How did you first meet?

0:01:480:01:50

We met when I interviewed Faye for a job, in actual fact.

0:01:500:01:54

Just about two years ago.

0:01:540:01:55

-How did she get on?

-Well, she got the job.

0:01:550:01:57

So, she did pretty well, in actual fact.

0:01:570:02:00

So, what were the essential qualities that you spotted

0:02:000:02:03

in Faye that got her job?

0:02:030:02:04

Well, she could talk, that was the main thing.

0:02:040:02:06

And that's what we wanted her to do, we wanted her to talk to the customers.

0:02:060:02:09

And where were the customers visiting?

0:02:090:02:12

My shop, which is in Lincoln high street,

0:02:120:02:14

we have a jewellers there, we sell all sorts of jewellery,

0:02:140:02:17

particularly antique and vintage stuff.

0:02:170:02:18

Now, you're no longer working for Peter, what do you do now, Faye?

0:02:180:02:22

Well, originally I was an intern at the University of Lincoln

0:02:220:02:26

but I've actually been given a new job within the university, so I'm

0:02:260:02:30

now their web and multimedia officer.

0:02:300:02:32

Well, congratulations.

0:02:320:02:33

-Thank you.

-But you've got this other passion, haven't you?

-Yes.

0:02:330:02:36

That relates to video games.

0:02:360:02:38

Yes, it's been a hobby of mine ever since I was little

0:02:380:02:41

and I'd play video games with my dad

0:02:410:02:44

and I actually wrote my dissertation on video games as well

0:02:440:02:48

and the relationship between the game and the player

0:02:480:02:51

and how it can be a good and bad thing.

0:02:510:02:53

So, it is quite interesting and there is a lot of theory

0:02:530:02:56

behind it, it's not all just sitting and playing games.

0:02:560:02:59

Brilliant. So, you two met as employer and employee.

0:02:590:03:03

Who is going to be the dominant force in your team today?

0:03:030:03:05

I think that's safe to say it's going to be me.

0:03:050:03:08

I can get my own back now.

0:03:080:03:10

-Just see how that turns out.

-OK, fine.

0:03:100:03:12

Well, you've got lots of ambition and that's the main thing

0:03:120:03:15

and I wish you well.

0:03:150:03:17

Now, moving to the Blues,

0:03:170:03:19

you're father and daughter, which is lovely.

0:03:190:03:22

So, can we expect you to agree on everything?

0:03:220:03:25

Hardly.

0:03:250:03:27

I think more opposite.

0:03:270:03:29

So we're going to have some sparks today, are we?

0:03:290:03:31

-Yeah.

-OK.

0:03:310:03:32

Now, Arvind, you're retired. What did you do before you retired?

0:03:320:03:35

I was researching social linguistics.

0:03:350:03:38

It's about society and language and how people use their language,

0:03:380:03:41

especially multilinguals.

0:03:410:03:43

Those are what I call very clever people, multilinguals.

0:03:430:03:46

I think so.

0:03:460:03:47

-But you like to travel a lot, don't you?

-I do, yes.

0:03:470:03:49

I love travelling, yes.

0:03:490:03:51

-My most frequent destination is Italy.

-Is it?

0:03:510:03:53

-Yes.

-What do you like about the Italians?

-Lots of things.

0:03:530:03:57

The food, the culture, the language, the people.

0:03:570:03:59

-The wine.

-The wine.

0:03:590:04:01

Says the daughter, with feeling.

0:04:010:04:04

Now Geeta, you're frightfully keen on travel.

0:04:040:04:06

Yeah, I'd like to try and push myself. I was in Australia

0:04:060:04:09

and I did a skydive and some whitewater rafting.

0:04:090:04:12

More recently, I was in Canada learning to water ski

0:04:120:04:14

and the next plan is to start to learn to snowboard.

0:04:140:04:18

It's my boyfriend's dream to go and snowboard in Japan

0:04:180:04:21

so I think I need to get my skates on and start learning pretty soon.

0:04:210:04:25

I'd get your board on if I were you.

0:04:250:04:28

-Yeah.

-So what do you two know about antiques, anything?

0:04:280:04:32

Geeta knows a bit, I think.

0:04:320:04:34

Yeah, I like to pretend I do, so I quite like music players,

0:04:340:04:38

so I have a 1960s jukebox that plays 45s.

0:04:380:04:41

-Oh, right?

-And also a Sputnik radio that plays eight-tracks.

0:04:410:04:44

So, you might go for something like that today when you get to shop?

0:04:440:04:48

Yeah, something retro, something from that sort of era, I think.

0:04:480:04:52

Well, this is going to be tremendous. Now, your £300.

0:04:520:04:55

Here's the £300, you know the rules.

0:04:550:04:57

Your experts await and off you go!

0:04:570:04:59

And very, very, very good luck.

0:04:590:05:01

For the Reds, keeping her sunny side up, it's Caroline Hawley.

0:05:030:05:09

And no nonsense from you, Sunny Jim! It's David Harper with the Blues.

0:05:090:05:13

-What we're going to do...

-Welcome to the Blue Team!

0:05:140:05:17

What would you say, Peter, who's the boss now?

0:05:170:05:19

-I think Faye is, to be honest.

-Is she?

0:05:190:05:21

So, I'm looking for something a little bit interesting,

0:05:210:05:24

maybe with a retro feel, on the music side of things.

0:05:240:05:26

What are you looking for then, boss?

0:05:260:05:27

Well, probably jewellery because that's what he knows

0:05:270:05:30

-but I'll have the final say, obviously.

-Of course!

0:05:300:05:32

We're going to have a lot of arguments about this.

0:05:320:05:34

Oh, that's why they've asked you to join Bargain Hunt! Marvellous!

0:05:340:05:37

-Shall we go and see if we can find some?

-Yeah.

0:05:370:05:39

-Come on!

-OK, teams, your 60 minutes are about to begin.

0:05:390:05:43

And they're off!

0:05:430:05:45

-Hiya.

-How you doing?

0:05:540:05:55

Is that from a fairground, is it?

0:05:560:05:58

I can tell you it's from a waltzer.

0:05:580:05:59

How many sections are there?

0:05:590:06:01

Well, in total, there are over 40.

0:06:010:06:03

40.

0:06:030:06:05

What sort of price is it?

0:06:050:06:07

Well, one panel is 150.

0:06:070:06:09

You know, I'm surprised you went to that. What do you think...?

0:06:090:06:12

I just think it's a fantastic piece of art.

0:06:120:06:15

It is! It is, it's wonderful.

0:06:150:06:18

-Almost folk art, in a way.

-Yeah.

0:06:180:06:20

It's a fabulous thing, isn't it?

0:06:200:06:21

We started fairly early, so can we keep that one in mind?

0:06:210:06:24

Yes, of course we can. What you think, boss?

0:06:240:06:27

It's an interesting piece, definitely is quite different.

0:06:270:06:30

Right, so we'll remember where that is.

0:06:300:06:33

Peter clearly has an eye for the unusual but Faye's not impressed.

0:06:330:06:36

Could this be the shape of things to come?

0:06:360:06:40

But the Blues also seem to be thinking outside the box.

0:06:400:06:43

How about something funky and what you've got here,

0:06:430:06:46

you've got a camel saddle pack.

0:06:460:06:48

Well, it's funky and functional, if you happen to have a camel.

0:06:480:06:52

Have you got a camel at home, Geeta, at all?

0:06:520:06:54

-Erm... Not knocking around.

-No.

0:06:540:06:57

Take that away for a fiver and make £20 off it at auction.

0:06:570:07:01

Is that how much it is, it's a fiver?

0:07:010:07:03

I was looking for £15 but for a bit of fun,

0:07:030:07:05

take it away for a fiver and just have a bit of fun with it.

0:07:050:07:08

-Well, I'll tell you what, let's have a look.

-What sort of leather is it?

0:07:080:07:12

Is it camel leather? No, I'll tell you what that is.

0:07:120:07:14

That's what they call, in the trade, fake leather.

0:07:140:07:17

-Oh, right.

-Nice.

0:07:170:07:19

-It's top-end quality.

-Right.

-Yeah.

0:07:190:07:21

It's a hard wood, it's rustically made

0:07:210:07:23

and I reckon that has probably never seen a camel.

0:07:230:07:27

So, it's a bit of fun and bits of fun sell very well in auction.

0:07:270:07:32

Someone takes a chance, takes a punt, has a lark with it.

0:07:320:07:36

When Geeta and I were in Rajasthan, we went on this camel...

0:07:360:07:40

So you're an experienced camel rider?

0:07:400:07:41

I'm experienced in that, you know,

0:07:410:07:43

I can tell from a glance that's not a professional seat.

0:07:430:07:45

Do you want to just show us how you would ride a camel professionally?

0:07:450:07:48

Go on, then, Geeta!

0:07:480:07:50

If I was in the 1900s, I'd ride it like this.

0:07:500:07:52

Oh, of course. Of course.

0:07:520:07:54

But, er... Hang on.

0:07:540:07:56

But come on, get with modern times.

0:07:560:07:58

OK. All right.

0:07:580:08:00

-What do we think, Dad?

-I think it's a punt. It's OK.

0:08:000:08:02

If this doesn't sell, we don't have to keep it, right?

0:08:020:08:04

-No, it's going home with you.

-Excellent, we'll have it.

0:08:040:08:06

-Are we going to have it for a fiver?

-Go on, then.

0:08:060:08:08

Fiver? OK.

0:08:080:08:10

Sold for just a fiver.

0:08:120:08:13

So, even if it doesn't make a profit, they shouldn't get the hump.

0:08:130:08:18

15 minutes in and the Reds are already watching the clock.

0:08:180:08:21

It's marble, it looks like it's got a good French movement to it.

0:08:210:08:26

It does work but it's one of those, it needs to settle down.

0:08:260:08:28

-When you move it, it doesn't like being moved.

-No.

0:08:280:08:31

What would be the best price on that?

0:08:310:08:33

-75, I think.

-75.

0:08:330:08:35

Could you wiggle it to a round 70?

0:08:350:08:37

Oh, I don't know...

0:08:370:08:39

And it does have a little bit of damage on the top.

0:08:390:08:41

It does, yeah, that's the main part that I would be...

0:08:410:08:43

-But it's nice that you've got this sort of...

-The colours are nice.

0:08:430:08:46

It's nice to have the Rouge marble.

0:08:460:08:48

It's sort of latter part of the 19th century, French,

0:08:480:08:52

very good quality and as I've said, the red just lifts it.

0:08:520:08:57

I see it more as 60. Can you come down another fiver, 65?

0:08:570:09:00

Oh, dear, you are hard, aren't you?

0:09:000:09:02

65, then. That is really, that is...

0:09:020:09:04

That is...

0:09:040:09:06

It's an interesting...

0:09:060:09:07

It is an attractive piece and it is of benefit that it is still working.

0:09:070:09:12

-Which I like.

-Right, OK?

0:09:120:09:14

-Yes.

-Yep, we'll do that.

0:09:140:09:16

-Yes?

-Yep.

0:09:160:09:18

-Yes, OK.

-Thank you very much.

-That's OK.

-Thank you.

0:09:180:09:21

Well done, Reds, that's one item apiece.

0:09:230:09:25

-Oh, now there's something more normal for you, Geeta.

-Yeah!

0:09:280:09:31

-Let's try it on, see if there's any improvement.

-Erm... Hang on then.

0:09:310:09:35

Let's give this a go.

0:09:350:09:36

You've done this before, haven't you?

0:09:360:09:38

It's a bit scary, does it feel scary wearing it?

0:09:380:09:41

It feels very strange.

0:09:410:09:43

Hey, what did he say?

0:09:430:09:45

Oh, my God, looks horrible.

0:09:460:09:48

That is hilarious but I'm not really sure that that's going to

0:09:480:09:52

have much of an appeal in a saleroom.

0:09:520:09:54

And I'm a bit concerned that I've just put that on my face.

0:09:540:09:57

LAUGHTER

0:09:570:09:58

The Reds are still at the same stall.

0:10:010:10:04

They were going to move on, but on reflection...

0:10:040:10:06

-You've spotted this.

-Yeah.

0:10:070:10:09

Now, I love this for two reasons.

0:10:090:10:11

I like it because it's got the Art Nouveau style to it.

0:10:110:10:15

It's cast-iron, which I love.

0:10:150:10:18

-And it epitomises the Art Nouveau period.

-End of the century.

-Lovely.

0:10:180:10:22

-I think the mirror is new.

-Yeah.

0:10:220:10:24

And if we turn it over, that shows it is most definitely a new mirror.

0:10:240:10:28

And it's got a registered number here,

0:10:280:10:30

which I'm sure we'll date that to 1895, 1905,

0:10:300:10:34

that sort of period.

0:10:340:10:35

It would have originally just been cast-iron, blacked, perhaps,

0:10:350:10:39

and somebody has painted it.

0:10:390:10:41

But you could argue it looks better for that in some ways. It's a

0:10:410:10:46

-nice object.

-It's just a super size, it's not too big, not too small,

0:10:460:10:49

it just frames a face. You can use it in any room.

0:10:490:10:52

Could be in a hallway, could be in a bedroom, could be

0:10:520:10:54

-in the lounge, even, so...

-I can see you selling jewellery.

0:10:540:10:58

Blooming heck!

0:10:580:10:59

It has everything. We need to make a profit,

0:10:590:11:01

-so it depends upon the price. Should we find out how much?

-Yeah.

0:11:010:11:04

Could you just give us the price of this mirror, please?

0:11:040:11:07

-Yes, well, it was 20 but you can have it for 12.

-12?

-Yes.

0:11:070:11:10

-Is that the absolute best price?

-Yes, it is.

-Can you get it down to ten?

0:11:100:11:15

No. No, I've got to stick with 12,

0:11:150:11:18

-because that is a good price for that.

-It is a nice thing.

-Right.

0:11:180:11:23

-I'm happy with 12.

-OK.

-You think it would be a good buy?

0:11:230:11:27

-Yes, I think it is a good buy.

-I do as well.

-Right, we shall have it.

0:11:270:11:31

-Thank you.

-Well done. Well done.

0:11:310:11:34

A genuine Art Nouveau mirror for £12.

0:11:340:11:37

Now that's what I call cut price. Speaking of which...

0:11:370:11:40

-I quite like that. What sort of price is that?

-150.

0:11:410:11:45

-150. I must say...

-A bit of engineering there.

-Engineering.

0:11:450:11:49

Geeta, I'm looking at your face.

0:11:490:11:52

-Are we talking this?

-Yes, we're talking that.

-That.

0:11:520:11:55

I was kind of hoping you weren't going to say yes.

0:11:550:11:58

It's a shop display. Arvind, what are your thoughts here?

0:11:580:12:01

I like to see it move, but obviously you can't plug it in, can you?

0:12:010:12:04

It's a shame, really. I can guarantee it's absolutely fine,

0:12:040:12:08

-it does everything that it should do.

-So all these move.

-Yes.

0:12:080:12:12

OK. Now, advertising objects like this

0:12:120:12:15

are really quite desirable.

0:12:150:12:17

People collect them.

0:12:170:12:19

The big downside is that, I'm sure it works,

0:12:190:12:21

but we will never be able to show it working.

0:12:210:12:24

Unless it has some PAT testing certificate,

0:12:240:12:28

it has to be, effectively, snipped off at its base,

0:12:280:12:32

the electricity supply, to put it into auction.

0:12:320:12:35

-Would that wipe off some of the value if we took it...

-Hugely. Hugely.

0:12:350:12:40

So the only way I'd want to put that into sale is with a PAT

0:12:400:12:42

-certificate.

-I plugged it in and handled it and it's fine.

0:12:420:12:45

-And you didn't die?

-No, no, I'm still here.

-OK, good.

-THEY LAUGH

0:12:450:12:49

-Can I make some enquiries while you two chat?

-Yeah.

-Have a chat.

0:12:490:12:52

That would be good.

0:12:520:12:53

Yeah. While David finds out about the PAT test,

0:12:530:12:57

Peter tries to work his charm on Faye.

0:12:570:12:59

-What about that fairground thing back there?

-No, it's dreadful.

0:12:590:13:03

-It's fantastic!

-Shut up.

-It's great!

0:13:030:13:06

If you can find one person that would have that in their house,

0:13:060:13:09

then I will let you buy it.

0:13:090:13:11

-If we can't find anything else, what do you think?

-No.

-Last one.

-No.

0:13:110:13:15

We'll find something. Have faith.

0:13:150:13:18

Back with the Blues, and David has news about the PAT test.

0:13:220:13:25

Right, OK. Normally with a light you just snip it off, that's fine,

0:13:250:13:29

we all know it's going to work.

0:13:290:13:30

This thing, it's absolutely fundamental to its value

0:13:300:13:34

that the thing works.

0:13:340:13:36

So the auction will PAT test it for a cost of £3.

0:13:360:13:40

Brilliant. If it passes its PAT test, they won't snip the wires off.

0:13:400:13:45

We can demonstrate it to the buyers. Life is a bowl of cherries.

0:13:450:13:50

However, if it fails its PAT test,

0:13:500:13:53

the electricity supply is cut off at the base, ruthlessly.

0:13:530:13:57

That is a nonworking, functioning bit of old plastic worth nowt.

0:13:570:14:02

Well, I know where I want to go. I love a bit of jeopardy.

0:14:020:14:06

-I love a risk.

-Yes, yes.

-You do as well.

0:14:060:14:09

I actually feel like you're ranged against me.

0:14:090:14:13

And I don't really have much choice.

0:14:130:14:15

I think the price is a bit high.

0:14:150:14:17

-Can you come down a bit?

-I can do 120, that's it.

0:14:170:14:22

Geeta. Come on.

0:14:220:14:23

-Are you a risk-taker?

-No. Not even slightly.

-You're in sales, baby.

0:14:230:14:28

It's all about risk. And reward. Isn't it?

0:14:280:14:31

If we lose money, Dad,

0:14:310:14:34

you have to take me out for dinner.

0:14:340:14:37

-OK, done.

-Am I in on this deal? Do I get it as well?

0:14:370:14:40

-You can take me out for dinner as well.

-Go on, then.

0:14:400:14:43

-I'll make you both a nice curry.

-You're on.

0:14:430:14:46

-Authentic curry.

-You're on. You're on.

0:14:460:14:49

-We get a curry out of it if it fails.

-If it fails.

0:14:490:14:51

-All right, fine. Good enough for me.

-Do it? Take a risk.

0:14:510:14:54

-Thank you very much.

-We'll take the risk.

0:14:540:14:56

I feel an agricultural moment coming

0:15:020:15:04

on because here we are in the middle of Lincolnshire,

0:15:040:15:07

on the most enormous former RAF base,

0:15:070:15:10

and there is lots of greenery about.

0:15:100:15:12

And, once upon a time,

0:15:120:15:14

this delicious object also came from a verdant and green land.

0:15:140:15:19

What is it?

0:15:200:15:22

The dealer who had it on the stall up there said that it was

0:15:220:15:26

a Tibetan grain scoop.

0:15:260:15:28

Do I think this has anything to do with Tibet?

0:15:280:15:32

No, I do not.

0:15:320:15:34

But it has great soul and it has great character.

0:15:340:15:38

The fact that it's matted thick

0:15:380:15:42

with sweat and grease and grime

0:15:420:15:46

and a bit of mud,

0:15:460:15:47

that together have given it something called patination,

0:15:470:15:52

which is this curious, grubby

0:15:520:15:55

but delightful, textural overall finish.

0:15:550:15:59

I want to find out exactly where this came from.

0:15:590:16:03

I suspect it's either Pacific Rim or it's African.

0:16:030:16:07

I suspect that it has got considerable age.

0:16:070:16:11

And on account of its brilliant condition, I think

0:16:110:16:14

it might be worth quite a lot of money.

0:16:140:16:17

Like how much?

0:16:170:16:18

I would never sell it for less than £200-£300.

0:16:190:16:23

Which, for £20, as an investment, is a fair scoop,

0:16:230:16:27

wouldn't you say?

0:16:270:16:29

Ha-ha! Back at the shopping, it's business as usual with the Reds.

0:16:290:16:33

We've got to go for something OTT.

0:16:330:16:34

Yeah, but there's OTT and then there's ridiculously...

0:16:340:16:38

-We don't want to be boring, do we?

-You don't need to be arguing.

0:16:380:16:42

-He started it.

-Did he?

-Yeah.

0:16:420:16:45

It's the usual case.

0:16:450:16:46

-What about that?

-No.

-You say no to everything.

0:16:560:17:00

Don't fall out.

0:17:000:17:02

You could use it, even by the side of the sofa and put your tea on it.

0:17:020:17:05

I don't see it selling, if I'm honest.

0:17:050:17:09

It's a no, is it? Again.

0:17:090:17:11

Everything's a no!

0:17:110:17:13

Oh, dear, let's find out what's afoot with the Blues.

0:17:130:17:16

-What is this?

-It's a Turkish shoeshine.

0:17:190:17:22

That's the working part of it, where the person would be shining.

0:17:230:17:26

And...you put your foot on there, with your heel against that,

0:17:260:17:31

and he's got all his drawers for his cloths and his various things.

0:17:310:17:35

-Various bottles.

-It's £40 but I can do it for 30 for you.

0:17:350:17:39

What a fascinating thing.

0:17:390:17:41

I don't know... That looks Turkish to me.

0:17:420:17:45

That's with it, but I don't know what's...

0:17:450:17:48

-What it actually is.

-What is that?

-I don't know, haven't a clue.

0:17:480:17:52

-I like a little bit of honesty.

-Around a camel or something.

0:17:520:17:55

Go around a camel?! That's what we've been looking for.

0:17:550:17:58

-Over the camel thing, wouldn't it?

-Wouldn't that go with the camel?

-No.

0:17:580:18:02

I'm not being bullied into anything else.

0:18:020:18:05

-It's a bit too bonkers for me, that one.

-Really?

-Yes.

-All right.

0:18:050:18:08

-Shall we move on from that?

-Yeah, let's move on.

-Thanks for showing it to us.

0:18:080:18:11

Thank you.

0:18:110:18:13

Well, Geeta's booted that into touch. Meanwhile, could it

0:18:130:18:17

be that those wrangling Reds have finally agreed on something?

0:18:170:18:20

-That's amazing!

-Yeah, I like that.

0:18:200:18:23

-Are you serious?

-Yeah.

0:18:230:18:25

-You actually really like that?

-Yes, I do.

0:18:250:18:28

-Peter, you actually really like that?

-I like it.

0:18:280:18:31

So can we say that you two are in agreement?

0:18:310:18:34

I agree that I like it, but I wouldn't buy it.

0:18:340:18:37

-Come on, Faye, you've just said you agree with Peter.

-Yeah.

0:18:370:18:40

So you agree with Peter. This is what I'm trying to ascertain.

0:18:400:18:43

-Let's see what price it is.

-Right, how much is it, please?

0:18:430:18:47

-I'll treat you, £60. How's that?

-£60 for the watch?

0:18:470:18:52

No, I don't see it, unfortunately.

0:18:520:18:54

-I thought it would be too good to be true.

-I like it.

0:18:540:18:58

I like it, don't get me wrong, but I don't think it would turn...

0:18:580:19:01

People do collect Swatch watches.

0:19:010:19:04

They don't wear them, though, that size, do they?

0:19:040:19:06

No, but in a shop atmosphere,

0:19:060:19:09

somebody who is actually an unauthorised dealer to sell Swatch.

0:19:090:19:13

You are actually a closet interior decorator, aren't you?

0:19:130:19:17

-THEY LAUGH Look at all those colours, it's wonderful.

-It's really different.

0:19:170:19:21

-What about £40?

-I can't do it for 40.

0:19:210:19:23

-What's your ab...

-Absolute, 49.

-49.

-£49.

0:19:230:19:28

-Let's go for it.

-It's going into auction.

0:19:280:19:30

How do you think it would go, in auction?

0:19:300:19:33

-I've never seen one sold.

-No.

-So I really don't know.

0:19:330:19:37

-You both think it's great.

-So it's just potluck.

-Yeah.

0:19:370:19:41

-Oh, go on.

-Let's go for it.

-Before I change my mind.

0:19:410:19:44

-Quick, you're in agreement?!

-Yes, before I change my mind.

0:19:440:19:47

-We'll have it.

-Thank you very much.

0:19:470:19:49

-Sold.

-Well done.

0:19:490:19:51

I never thought you'd agree on anything.

0:19:510:19:54

That's the Reds' final item, and about time, too.

0:19:540:19:57

Blues, the clock is ticking.

0:19:570:19:59

Have you noticed? 12:45, they're all packing up.

0:19:590:20:02

-We've got 20 minutes. So we need to buy something.

-We need to buy something.

0:20:020:20:06

-And the pressure, Geeta, is on you.

-Um...

0:20:060:20:09

SHE LAUGHS

0:20:090:20:10

I'm kind of feeling that we have to just buy something now.

0:20:100:20:13

Has the chair been chopped?

0:20:130:20:14

-SELLER: No!

-Let's have a look.

0:20:140:20:16

-I've never seen that before!

-That's amazing!

0:20:180:20:20

"The Reliability Mark, please quote Design..."

0:20:200:20:22

Ercol! It's early Ercol!

0:20:220:20:25

-Oh my gosh!

-SELLER: It's a lovely chair.

0:20:250:20:27

-What sort of wood is this, then?

-It's oak.

0:20:270:20:29

-So is it, it's, like, er... It's not supposed to have legs?

-Apparently.

0:20:290:20:32

SELLER: I bought it off a woman, she had a blanket box, and it was sat on top.

0:20:320:20:35

-Why would it sit on a blanket box?

-It's weird, at the bottom of the bed.

0:20:350:20:38

If you'd look at that, you'd think 1920s,

0:20:380:20:40

that's what you're going to think, aren't you? Maybe '30s.

0:20:400:20:43

It's a reproduction of a much earlier shape and design, really.

0:20:430:20:47

-But that's the original back.

-SELLER: Yeah.

-Geeta, get excited.

0:20:470:20:50

Have a feel of the back.

0:20:500:20:51

ALL LAUGH

0:20:510:20:52

I love furniture. That is quite cool, though.

0:20:520:20:55

I'd love to think that it was a mad blanket box chair.

0:20:550:20:58

I think most people will assume it's been chopped.

0:20:580:21:00

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-Gosh. My gosh.

0:21:010:21:04

I love buying things a bit out of the ordinary.

0:21:040:21:06

Really? Do you? I hadn't got that from you(!)

0:21:060:21:08

HE LAUGHS

0:21:080:21:09

Erm...

0:21:090:21:10

-It's bonkers.

-I think that's quite nice actually.

-I mean, seriously.

0:21:110:21:14

-What could it be?

-SELLER: 50.

0:21:140:21:17

I was going to say I'd take a punt for a tenner.

0:21:170:21:20

-That sounds like a bid to me.

-Big ask!

0:21:200:21:22

SELLER: Hmm, well, we've got to go up another two, so that makes it 12.

0:21:220:21:25

-12 quid.

-SELLER: That's it.

0:21:250:21:26

Well, I tell you what.

0:21:260:21:28

I know it's sacrilege,

0:21:280:21:29

but it would cost you more than 12 quid to buy wood to light your fire?

0:21:290:21:32

SELLER LAUGHS

0:21:320:21:33

-So, if all else fails, we'll sell it for firewood.

-Exactly.

0:21:330:21:36

-Yes.

-NOW you've sold it to me.

-THEY LAUGH

0:21:360:21:38

SELLER: There you go.

0:21:380:21:39

Are you going to do it?

0:21:390:21:41

I'm just feeling like we need to get something

0:21:410:21:43

-cos we're running out of time.

-Right, we need to! Come on, come on!

0:21:430:21:46

Are you REALLY going to buy that chair?

0:21:460:21:47

-Yeah, go on, then.

-Oh, my God!

-Yay!

-Come on, let's do it.

0:21:470:21:50

Right then, time's up!

0:21:500:21:52

CLANG

0:21:520:21:53

Let's check out what the Red team bought, eh?

0:21:530:21:56

They bought a 19th-century French mantel clock.

0:21:580:22:01

In no time at all, they followed it

0:22:020:22:04

with an Art Nouveau mirror.

0:22:040:22:07

And finally, they hit the big time,

0:22:080:22:10

with this advertising wall clock.

0:22:100:22:12

-Now, Faye, Pete, did you enjoy that?

-Fantastic.

-Yes.

0:22:140:22:17

Lovely spending somebody else's money, eh?

0:22:170:22:19

FAYE LAUGHS That's it!

0:22:190:22:20

And how much, actually, did you spend?

0:22:200:22:22

Overall, it was £126.

0:22:220:22:24

Is that all?

0:22:240:22:26

OK, I'd like £174 of leftover lolly.

0:22:260:22:29

So, 170. And four.

0:22:290:22:32

Well done. Which is your favourite piece, Faye?

0:22:320:22:35

-Er, for me, it's the watch.

-Is it?

-Yes.

-OK.

-It's quite different, so...

0:22:350:22:39

-Looking forward to seeing how that turns out.

-Pretty wacky, too!

0:22:390:22:43

Peter, how do you see it? Which is your favourite?

0:22:430:22:45

-The watch, again.

-Is it?

-It is, yeah.

-OK.

0:22:450:22:48

And will it bring the biggest profit, the watch?

0:22:480:22:50

Erm... I'm not sure,

0:22:500:22:52

I'm torn between the watch and the mirror,

0:22:520:22:54

but thinking about it a bit more, I think the watch will do well, actually.

0:22:540:22:57

OK. And do you think it'll bring the biggest profit, then?

0:22:570:22:59

I think it will be the mirror

0:22:590:23:00

just because it's the item we spent actually quite a little amount on.

0:23:000:23:04

-So, hopefully that will give us a nice profit.

-OK. But how lovely to have the prospect of profits.

0:23:040:23:08

-Ooh, yes, definitely.

-SHE LAUGHS

0:23:080:23:10

-Now, Caroline. There you go, a wodge of cash...

-Thank you!

0:23:100:23:12

-..which is really substantial.

-Yeah.

0:23:120:23:14

So, what are you going to spend it on, do you know?

0:23:140:23:17

I've had a few ideas,

0:23:170:23:18

-I might see if I can look for some jewellery for you, something sparkly.

-Yeah.

0:23:180:23:21

I hope you spend the lot. And very good luck with that, Caroline.

0:23:210:23:24

Meanwhile, why don't we shove off,

0:23:240:23:26

and see what the Blue team bought, eh?

0:23:260:23:28

First up - I've never heard myself

0:23:280:23:30

say THIS on Bargain Hunt before -

0:23:300:23:32

they bought a camel saddle!

0:23:320:23:34

For five pounds.

0:23:340:23:35

They cut a deal

0:23:350:23:36

on this advertising display.

0:23:360:23:38

£120, plus £3 for the PAT test.

0:23:380:23:41

And finally,

0:23:430:23:45

they bought this 1930s

0:23:450:23:46

Ercol box-top armchair

0:23:460:23:48

for £12.

0:23:480:23:49

Just the thing,

0:23:490:23:51

for a short rest.

0:23:510:23:52

-Arvind, Geeta.

-THEY CHUCKLE

0:23:520:23:55

How was your shopping?

0:23:550:23:56

-Oh, very interesting.

-Was it?

-DAVID AND GEETA LAUGH

0:23:560:23:59

-Yes.

-Yeah. I think "interesting" is

0:23:590:24:01

-probably the word to describe it.

-LAUGHTER

0:24:010:24:02

So, how much did you spend, to start off with?

0:24:020:24:05

Er, £140.

0:24:050:24:06

£140, may I have £160 of leftover lolly, please?

0:24:060:24:09

Where'd I put it, where did I put it?

0:24:090:24:10

I definitely gave it to you, Dad.

0:24:100:24:12

LAUGHTER

0:24:120:24:13

-Oh, here it is!

-Oh!

0:24:130:24:14

I won't count it, cos I trust you.

0:24:140:24:16

Erm, which is your favourite piece?

0:24:160:24:18

My favourite piece was the Swiss Army knife.

0:24:180:24:21

-Swiss Army knife is your favourite?

-Yes.

-Do you agree with that?

0:24:210:24:24

I don't agree with any of it, but...

0:24:240:24:26

If I had to choose, the camel seat.

0:24:260:24:28

The camel seat would be your favourite?

0:24:280:24:30

-OK, fine.

-Let's be honest, you don't have a favourite, do you?

-No.

0:24:300:24:32

THEY ALL LAUGH

0:24:320:24:34

-Have you been dominated by these boys, then?

-Yes.

-And beaten up?

-I've been bullied!

-Have you?

0:24:340:24:38

-And beaten up, which is rotten, isn't it?

-Yeah.

-Ha!

0:24:380:24:40

Well don't worry, darling, I shall stick up for you when it comes to the final analysis.

0:24:400:24:45

So, which piece is going to bring the biggest profit, then?

0:24:450:24:47

-Well, I think it's the blanket chair.

-Do you?

-Mm-hm.

0:24:470:24:50

-Do you think it's the blanket chair?

-No, I think it'll be the camel seat.

0:24:500:24:53

Even though you don't like any of them?

0:24:530:24:55

I don't like any of them, but I think that'll make the most.

0:24:550:24:57

Well, there's a prediction, anyway. Brilliant.

0:24:570:24:59

-OK, David Harper.

-OK, thank you, Tim.

0:24:590:25:01

Nobody does this better than David Harper,

0:25:010:25:04

taking money and translating it into bonus buys full of promise.

0:25:040:25:07

-We're counting on it.

-Yes.

0:25:070:25:09

I will try and by something normal, and make it up to you, Geeta.

0:25:090:25:12

-Yep.

-OK?

-Keep her in hope!

-THEY LAUGH

0:25:120:25:14

Anyway, good luck.

0:25:140:25:16

Meanwhile, why don't we shuffle off somewhere lovely, like the auction?

0:25:160:25:20

Well, how lovely is this?

0:25:300:25:31

We've trotted across to the outskirts of Derby

0:25:310:25:34

to be with Charles Hanson, at Hanson's Auctioneers. Charles, good morning.

0:25:340:25:38

-All aboard, Tim.

-All aboard, lovely.

-Good to see you.

0:25:380:25:40

Well done, skip. Now, Faye and Peter,

0:25:400:25:42

their first item is this black slate mantel clock,

0:25:420:25:45

and I always fancy these are incredibly difficult to sell.

0:25:450:25:48

Tim, on a Friday evaluation day here, we see one of two things.

0:25:480:25:51

It's either the infamous fish forks and knives,

0:25:510:25:54

-or the black slate mantel clock.

-Bit chipped, the polish isn't so good.

0:25:540:25:58

-Yeah.

-Is it worth £20, do you think?

0:25:580:26:01

Tim, I do, and I can see a price now, coming to my mind.

0:26:010:26:04

-It might make £45-50, 55 on a good day.

-OK, fine.

0:26:040:26:08

Well, the team paid £65 so...

0:26:080:26:10

-OK.

-..that's plenty enough, I fancy.

-Yes.

0:26:100:26:12

Next is the unusual cast-iron frame.

0:26:120:26:17

Now, I think it's come off something else. It's come off a railway carriage, or a liner.

0:26:170:26:21

It's something that's been scrapped, and they've kept that piece.

0:26:210:26:25

It's quite interesting, Tim. There's nothing on the back of it to identify itself

0:26:250:26:28

as to where it's come from, but regardless of that,

0:26:280:26:32

it's just a good, neo-rococo, late 19th/early 20th century, decorative object, today.

0:26:320:26:38

Mm, exactly. How much?

0:26:380:26:39

Tim, we have been quite bold

0:26:390:26:41

and put a guide price on of between £30 and £50.

0:26:410:26:45

-That is a cast-iron price.

-Yeah.

-LAUGHS

0:26:450:26:46

Cos they paid £12 actually, so that's pretty good, isn't it?

0:26:460:26:50

-It's solid, yes.

-OK.

0:26:500:26:51

Such is the beauty of Bargain Hunt,

0:26:510:26:53

and the variety of things out there to buy,

0:26:530:26:56

that the next item is this Swatch watch advertising fellow.

0:26:560:27:00

-Yeah. Tim, it just takes me back, cos I was an '80s boy.

-Were you?

0:27:000:27:04

In my heyday, Tim, and 1987, I can remember that year now.

0:27:040:27:07

-I was almost ten years old.

-Don't ask me how old I was.

0:27:070:27:10

THEY LAUGH

0:27:100:27:11

Obviously Swatch, you know, came into fruition in '83.

0:27:110:27:15

They were hung on the wall, like a longcase clock,

0:27:150:27:17

but in fact the actual straps hung up and down, so they were wall clocks, basically.

0:27:170:27:22

I fancy it's the sort of wacky object that will touch all sorts of people...

0:27:220:27:26

-Yes.

-..because it is good fun, isn't it?

0:27:260:27:29

Tim, it IS good fun, and, as you say,

0:27:290:27:31

has that poignancy of a period, for me, which I remember very well.

0:27:310:27:35

OK, fine. What's it worth?

0:27:350:27:37

We've put a guide price on, quite cautiously, of between £30 and £50.

0:27:370:27:42

Right. The team paid £49,

0:27:420:27:44

but you put an estimate on it which is mighty tempting, Charles...

0:27:440:27:47

-I hope so, Tim.

-..and basically anything could happen.

-Yeah.

0:27:470:27:49

And depending on what happens will determine whether they need the bonus buy.

0:27:490:27:53

So, let's go and have a look at it.

0:27:530:27:54

So, Faye, Peter, you spent £126. You gave your expert, Caroline, £174.

0:27:560:28:03

Caroline, what did you spend it on?

0:28:030:28:05

I spent my money on this nest of tables.

0:28:050:28:09

LAUGHTER

0:28:090:28:10

Not my ideal choice, to be perfectly honest. THEY LAUGH

0:28:100:28:13

Oh Peter, I was looking for something sparkly and small! These aren't sparkly and small.

0:28:130:28:17

I was hoping for some big lump of jewellery to come through, to be honest.

0:28:170:28:20

-You were, weren't you?

-HE LAUGHS

0:28:200:28:22

-Faye, what are you thinking?

-LAUGHTER

0:28:220:28:24

What made you want to get this?!

0:28:240:28:27

I think they are jolly, jolly good value for money.

0:28:270:28:31

They're mahogany, they're Edwardian, 1910, sort of '15 period.

0:28:310:28:36

Beautiful turned supports.

0:28:360:28:38

Look at the quality, and, nowadays,

0:28:380:28:40

when everybody's got smaller houses,

0:28:400:28:43

this trio of tables can fold up against the wall

0:28:430:28:47

and you can bring them out as necessary.

0:28:470:28:50

And how much did you spend?

0:28:500:28:52

Ah, yes. What do you think?

0:28:520:28:54

120.

0:28:540:28:56

No! You're going to be very pleasantly surprised. £55.

0:28:560:29:00

-OK.

-55? Wow.

0:29:000:29:01

Now, I think that's a good price for three of them.

0:29:010:29:04

There could well have been four of them, but I think three's enough.

0:29:040:29:08

And I think, probably, you tell

0:29:080:29:10

because the fourth one, or the last one,

0:29:100:29:12

wouldn't have the rails in this place,

0:29:120:29:14

-you'd have rails on both sides.

-Yeah.

0:29:140:29:16

Cos there'd be nothing that would need to slot under it.

0:29:160:29:19

-Yeah.

-But nevertheless, three of them, for £55...?

0:29:190:29:23

Does that make a difference to you at all, Faye?

0:29:230:29:26

-Yes. It does a bit.

-Does it?

-The price.

0:29:260:29:28

So, Caroline, how much do you think they'll make at auction?

0:29:280:29:31

Well, ten years ago,

0:29:310:29:32

I think they would have made a lot more than today,

0:29:320:29:35

but I'm hoping for £75, £80.

0:29:350:29:37

-Right.

-But one never knows!

0:29:370:29:40

And that's the risk. But, right now,

0:29:400:29:42

for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Caroline's little nest.

0:29:420:29:47

This is one of the staple pieces from auctions, isn't it?

0:29:480:29:53

It is, and I suppose it's fashion today.

0:29:530:29:55

I think these nest tables are really useful

0:29:550:29:57

because we can use them in the smaller, modern home.

0:29:570:30:00

It's a shame we're missing one,

0:30:000:30:02

but the quality of the mahogany is good,

0:30:020:30:04

the stringing is very nice,

0:30:040:30:06

-and, erm, yeah, I think they're quite delicious.

-How delicious?

0:30:060:30:09

Oh, guide price between £25 and £35.

0:30:090:30:12

Caroline paid £55, and she reckons she got 'em cheap.

0:30:120:30:16

Not so much of a nest, eh, Charles?

0:30:160:30:18

-No.

-Not a nest egg, anyway.

-No.

-No. OK, that's lovely.

0:30:180:30:21

Now, moving on to the Blues, who've gone really wacky.

0:30:210:30:25

Erm, first up for them is the camel saddle.

0:30:250:30:28

-Not many camels here in Derbyshire, are there?

-No, Tim.

0:30:280:30:32

But I did some homework, and camels first began to be used in 3000BC.

0:30:320:30:36

-How old is the saddle that we've got here, Charles?

-Not very old, Tim.

0:30:360:30:39

-OK.

-THEY LAUGH

0:30:390:30:40

-Might it be five or ten years old?

-Tim...

0:30:400:30:42

It could be no more than 20 or 30 years old.

0:30:420:30:44

So somebody on holiday, to North Africa,

0:30:440:30:46

-and, for a bit of fun, they lugged home a camel saddle.

-Yes.

-Right?

0:30:460:30:50

-Yes, exactly.

-OK, perfect.

0:30:500:30:51

It's quite a nice object,

0:30:510:30:52

you could almost put your magazines on there, and, er,

0:30:520:30:55

just see it as a nice accessory.

0:30:550:30:57

-You're so romantic, Charles.

-Yes.

-Erm, how much, then?

0:30:570:31:00

-Tim, we feel it'll hopefully yield between £30 and £40.

-Do you really?

0:31:000:31:04

-Yes.

-Gosh, that's magnificent, Charles.

-Is it?

-£5 they paid.

0:31:040:31:08

-Good, yeah. Crossed fingers.

-Erm, now the advertising model.

0:31:080:31:11

I tell you what, why don't you just turn it on, eh?

0:31:110:31:13

-Sorry, Tim, OK, fine.

-Flip the switch, Charles.

0:31:130:31:16

-TIM LAUGHS IN SURPRISE

-There we go, Tim.

0:31:160:31:18

Isn't it wonderful? I suppose, Tim.

0:31:180:31:20

Quite an iconic object,

0:31:200:31:22

in the home to just pass away your time looking at.

0:31:220:31:24

-Yeah, I mean, it's quite mesmerising, isn't it?

-It is.

0:31:240:31:27

Great quality, and a quality piece of advertising material.

0:31:270:31:31

The team paid £120 for this, the PAT test was £3,

0:31:310:31:34

-so, effectively the purchase price was £123, OK.

-Hmm.

0:31:340:31:37

What do you think it's worth at auction?

0:31:370:31:39

I think, Tim, we've got to go some, because our guide price is between £40 and £60.

0:31:390:31:44

-Is it?

-Yes.

0:31:440:31:45

Er, their last item is the oak and beech Ercol chair.

0:31:450:31:49

I quite like it, I think the colour's quite nice,

0:31:490:31:52

and, importantly, we know it's Ercol,

0:31:520:31:54

and if there's a really racy area of the antiques market,

0:31:540:31:58

it's the trading name of Ercol,

0:31:580:31:59

which is inspiring buyers to buy more furniture at auction.

0:31:590:32:03

I'll take that on board, Charles. What's it worth?

0:32:030:32:05

We really rate it highly, and we hope it'll make between £30 and £40.

0:32:050:32:09

-Do you really?

-Yes.

0:32:090:32:10

-£12 paid.

-Good.

-Erm, happy with that?

-Very happy, Tim.

0:32:100:32:13

Well, they'll be very happy, too.

0:32:130:32:14

And on that basis, I don't think they're going to need their bonus buy,

0:32:140:32:17

if the Swiss Army knife does well enough,

0:32:170:32:20

and in case not, let's go and have a look at it.

0:32:200:32:22

Now, Arvind, Geeta.

0:32:230:32:24

You spend £140,

0:32:240:32:27

you gave David Harper £160 to go out and search and trawl the fair

0:32:270:32:31

to find something really super-duper for you, right.

0:32:310:32:34

Now, I'm going to help him, cos this is a two-handed job.

0:32:340:32:37

Here we go, and it is...

0:32:370:32:38

-Ha-ha!

-Ah! GEETA LAUGHS

0:32:380:32:41

-Isn't that marvellous? I recognise that.

-I recognise some of this.

0:32:410:32:44

-You've seen this before, have you?

-Yeah.

-Oh, yes.

0:32:440:32:46

I tried to make them buy it, Tim, cos I thought it was really interesting.

0:32:460:32:49

What happened then?

0:32:490:32:50

-Er, they didn't like it.

-GEETA LAUGHS

0:32:500:32:52

So you've gone out to buy it...

0:32:520:32:54

to spite them, or because you believe in it so much?

0:32:540:32:56

Because I believe that actually, for the amount of money I paid for it,

0:32:560:32:59

and you know how much it was, it was phenomenally cheap.

0:32:590:33:02

-How much did you end up getting it for?

-Can you not remember?

-No.

-20.

0:33:020:33:06

Oh, that's not so bad!

0:33:060:33:07

-Look, it's a fun thing.

-What is it, really?

0:33:070:33:09

It's a travelling shoe-polisher's kit.

0:33:090:33:11

That's where you keep your polishes, and you're a jobbing shoe-polisher,

0:33:110:33:15

wandering around the streets of Derbyshire, cleaning people's shoes.

0:33:150:33:18

-But how old do you think it is?

-Er, it's not as old as it might look.

0:33:180:33:22

-It's probably... '20s to 1950s I would guess.

-OK.

-You'd never guess.

0:33:220:33:25

LAUGHTER

0:33:250:33:26

-Do you think it's going to make more than 20 quid?

-Yes.

0:33:260:33:29

It should.

0:33:290:33:30

I know guys that run shoe shops, sell really top-end quality boots.

0:33:300:33:34

-They would love something like that in their window.

-Yeah.

0:33:340:33:36

It's a display piece, no-one's going to use it.

0:33:360:33:39

If all else fails, that's what we'll do. Out on the street, after the auction!

0:33:390:33:42

-LAUGHTER

-Anyway, team, you pick after the sale of the first three items.

0:33:420:33:45

So, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Dave's bit of kit.

0:33:450:33:49

-Now, Charles, your second career beckons. Look!

-Absolutely, Tim.

0:33:500:33:53

Right. What would you like, Tim? What shoes are you wearing today?

0:33:530:33:56

-I've got suede shoes on, so not much good for me.

-No.

0:33:560:33:59

Erm, what is going on here, Charles?

0:33:590:34:00

It's a real delight, Tim,

0:34:000:34:02

because if you're, I suppose, a shoe-shining fellow,

0:34:020:34:05

in Turkey, this is something which you may have used 20, 30 years ago.

0:34:050:34:11

-Yeah.

-There's all these wonderful lotions

0:34:110:34:13

-and potions to really make your shoes properly come alive.

-Lovely.

0:34:130:34:18

-How much then, Charles?

-Tim, guide price between £30 and £50.

0:34:180:34:22

-Well, that would be marvellous. David will be so chuffed.

-Good.

0:34:220:34:24

-He paid £20.

-Yeah, polished fellow, isn't he?

0:34:240:34:27

-LAUGHING:

-He's a polished fellow! Exactly right.

0:34:270:34:30

-Anyway, you're looking forward to the auction?

-Tim, I can't wait.

-Nor can we.

0:34:300:34:34

At £55, have I got two? I'll sell at £55.

0:34:370:34:43

Now, Faye and Peter. How excited are you?

0:34:430:34:46

Fantastic.

0:34:460:34:47

-THEY LAUGH

-I mean, it's a very good sight,

0:34:470:34:50

-a full saleroom like this, isn't it?

-It's packed, isn't it?

0:34:500:34:53

-It certainly is!

-Gives me hope.

-Well, gives us all us all hope,

0:34:530:34:56

cos right now it's the slate mantel clock, and here it comes.

0:34:560:34:59

In good condition and circa 1890, there we are.

0:34:590:35:03

-And I can start at 35, 45, 50 I'm bid.

-Keep going!

0:35:030:35:08

I'm asking five now, at 50 I'm bid, do I see five now?

0:35:080:35:12

5, Miss Hornblower, I'm out. Do I now see 60?

0:35:120:35:16

On the net, do I see 60 now?

0:35:160:35:17

Bid me 60, or I shall sell, make no mistake. All done, we are at £55.

0:35:170:35:24

Fair warning, all done.

0:35:240:35:26

£55 is minus £10.

0:35:260:35:28

-It's nothing like as bad as it could have been.

-Could have been, yes.

0:35:280:35:31

Yeah, exactly. Now, your mirror...

0:35:310:35:33

It's an interesting object, this.

0:35:330:35:35

If it could talk, what could it tell us?

0:35:350:35:37

I'm only asking 20, bring me a tenner. It's got to go.

0:35:370:35:40

I'm only asking... Ten I'm bid there. Do I see 12? 15.

0:35:400:35:44

18. 20. Five. 30.

0:35:440:35:46

Five. At 30 I'm bid, do I se a fiver? Come on, one more, sir.

0:35:460:35:51

0:35:510:35:55

Fair warning. All out.

0:35:550:35:57

-It's all on the watch.

-Plus £18. That means you're plus 8.

0:35:570:36:02

Very good. Now...

0:36:020:36:04

It's a very nice large Swatch...

0:36:040:36:06

Actually, it would have been a wall clock, I'm only bid £20,

0:36:060:36:09

do I see two now? At 20, I'll take two now.

0:36:090:36:11

Look at this iconic '80s decor.

0:36:110:36:14

0:36:290:36:33

-Yes!

-Yes, five I'm bid online, do I see 60?

0:36:330:36:35

0:36:400:36:44

Or I sell to the man with the dog, at £65.

0:36:440:36:48

Going, going...

0:36:480:36:51

It's yours, sir.

0:36:510:36:52

-Wa-hey!

-That is plus £16.

0:36:520:36:54

-How good is that?

-Fantastic!

0:36:540:36:56

Yeah, plus 16, plus the £8, means that you are plus 24. Wow.

0:36:560:37:01

Er, £24 up, which is folding money.

0:37:010:37:03

Now, what are you going to do about these tables?

0:37:030:37:04

Do you want to have a go at them, for £55, or you going to drop 'em?

0:37:040:37:08

-Faye's the boss.

-No! No, no, no, come on, what shall we do?

0:37:080:37:11

-Well, we ought to stick.

-We're going to stick?

-Yep. Yeah, sorry Caroline.

0:37:110:37:14

-Yeah.

-Quite all right.

0:37:140:37:16

-Are you sure you want to stick?

-We're sure.

-OK, fine.

0:37:160:37:18

The decision is made, you have £24 profit, you're sticking with that,

0:37:180:37:22

but we're going to sell the bonus buy anyway, and here it comes.

0:37:220:37:25

There we are.

0:37:250:37:27

They're very good, in nice condition,

0:37:270:37:29

and with a wonderful mahogany veneer.

0:37:290:37:32

I'm bid £15 there, therefore nothing. £15.

0:37:320:37:35

Heaven forbid, I'm asking £18.

0:37:350:37:37

18, 20, and two, five, eight. 30, two, five, eight.

0:37:370:37:40

40, I'm bid. Two?

0:37:400:37:42

And out. 42 I'm bid! I'm asking five now.

0:37:420:37:45

Look at the quality of them now, come on! 42, bid me a fiver.

0:37:450:37:49

All out, we are.

0:37:490:37:51

I sell to you in the middle, sir, at £42, good morning, it's over.

0:37:510:37:55

RED TEAM CHUCKLES

0:37:550:37:57

-Close, Caroline.

-Minus £13.

0:37:570:37:59

But, er, no bonus buy. Well done.

0:37:590:38:01

So you have plus £24, that could be a winning score.

0:38:010:38:05

-Very exciting auction.

-Fantastic.

0:38:050:38:07

Just don't say a word to the Blues.

0:38:070:38:09

-No.

-All right, great.

0:38:090:38:10

Now, Arvind, Geeta, do you know how the Reds got on?

0:38:150:38:18

BOTH: No idea.

0:38:180:38:20

Good. We don't want you to.

0:38:200:38:21

First lot up is the saddle and here it comes.

0:38:210:38:23

Interesting lot. Where do we start this?

0:38:230:38:26

It's a quirky object.

0:38:540:38:57

-Good profit.

-Now...here comes the...

0:38:570:39:01

..Advertising model of the original Swiss Army Knife.

0:39:010:39:04

-There we are, by Victorinox. Lots of interest.

-Come on!

0:39:040:39:08

-So we're going to roll up, Mr Harper.

-Good!

0:39:080:39:10

And I've got to start way up at 80, 90, 100.

0:39:100:39:12

Good.

0:39:120:39:14

110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160,

0:39:140:39:17

I'm asking now 170. 160, I am asking 170.

0:39:210:39:25

0:39:250:39:26

0:39:260:39:30

You have £52 of profit so far and the chair's coming up.

0:39:470:39:51

Ercol oak and beech box top armchair.

0:39:510:39:54

It's very nice. I've got two bids, both at £40.

0:39:540:39:59

I'm asking 5 now.

0:39:590:40:00

-Really, really cosy, almost snug-type chair.

-Yes, yes.

0:40:000:40:03

I've got a £40 bid. Do I see a fiver now?

0:40:030:40:04

At £40, surely a fiver?

0:40:040:40:06

-All out, I shall sell, make no mistake.

-That's all right.

0:40:060:40:09

At £40 today it's over.

0:40:090:40:12

-Oh!

-Well done. 20 so that's plus £28.

-Oh, my God!

0:40:120:40:17

0:40:240:40:28

You have £80 worth in total.

0:40:280:40:31

What are you going to do about the shoe-shining kit?

0:40:310:40:35

-Let's go for it.

-We can't lose, we are still going to be in profit.

0:40:350:40:38

-We're going to risk it.

-We're going to risk it.

0:40:380:40:40

With £80 worth of profit,

0:40:400:40:41

you are now selecting the bonus buy and here comes the kit.

0:40:410:40:45

It's a shoe-shining kit complete with 12 various bottles.

0:40:450:40:50

It really is quite fun and it does work.

0:40:500:40:52

I've got a bit of interest here

0:40:520:40:54

-and I can start this lot with me at £35.

-Yes!

-Woo-hoo!

0:40:540:40:58

-Yes!

0:41:010:41:05

A wonderful lot. Bid me 70 now.

0:41:050:41:08

0:41:080:41:09

-Go on!

-Looking for 70.

0:41:090:41:11

0:41:160:41:19

-Well done, Charles.

-Well done, yourself.

0:41:190:41:22

Congratulations!

0:41:220:41:24

Plus £45.

0:41:240:41:26

Plus £45 is marvellous which means

0:41:260:41:28

overall you are plus 125.

0:41:280:41:31

-Yahoo!

-That is a stonker, isn't it?

0:41:320:41:35

-Isn't that a stonker?

-An absolutely brilliant stonker.

0:41:350:41:38

Well, it's a rare old treat for us today on Bargain Hunt, isn't it?

0:41:440:41:47

-Both teams going home with cash!

-ALL: Yeah!

0:41:470:41:50

I'm very, very, very, proud of you.

0:41:500:41:52

It's simply a question of scale of winnings today

0:41:520:41:56

and the team with the least amount on the scoreboard

0:41:560:42:01

just happens to be the Reds.

0:42:010:42:04

REDS: Oh!

0:42:040:42:05

You are going home, Reds,

0:42:050:42:07

with £24 which is, by any normal standards, a complete achievement.

0:42:070:42:12

I'm going to give you your £24, there you go.

0:42:120:42:15

You decided not to go with the bonus buy. That was your wisest move.

0:42:150:42:18

-Yes, it was.

-Cos that could have decimated your chances.

0:42:180:42:22

-I will take the credit for that.

-OK, take the credit for that.

0:42:220:42:25

-But have you had a nice time?

-Brilliant.

-Supersonic.

0:42:250:42:27

We've loved having you on the show and thanks so much

0:42:270:42:29

for coming and contributing.

0:42:290:42:31

But the victors today go home with a substantially different amount.

0:42:310:42:34

Because they go home with £125.

0:42:340:42:36

BLUES: Yes!

0:42:360:42:38

£125.

0:42:380:42:40

You're going to take that, Geeta, well done.

0:42:400:42:43

You made a profit on all three of your items,

0:42:430:42:46

so you are also eligible to join the ancient and venerable...

0:42:460:42:49

-Please, no!

-..Order Of The Golden Gavel.

0:42:490:42:51

So, take one of those, G, well done,

0:42:510:42:54

Arvind, and there's one for your collection, David.

0:42:540:42:57

-Thank you.

-Good, lovely.

0:42:570:42:58

You've contributed a lot today, thank you very much.

0:42:580:43:00

-I hope you have enjoyed it.

-It's been amazing, yes.

-Yes, amazing.

0:43:000:43:04

And you go home with all that cash

0:43:040:43:05

and you go home with our highest award.

0:43:050:43:07

-So, congratulations.

-Ha-ha!

-It's been wonderful.

0:43:070:43:09
