0:00:03 > 0:00:07Today we're in the pretty market town of Brampton,
0:00:07 > 0:00:10not a couple of miles from Hadrian's Wall
0:00:10 > 0:00:14and nine miles from the county town of Carlisle.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18Our teams are looking to make a pretty penny, I can tell you.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21So, let's go bargain hunting! Yeah.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Well, we'd better mind our Ps and Qs today
0:00:50 > 0:00:54because the Cumbrian Antique Centre is housed
0:00:54 > 0:00:57in a former church hall.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Let's pray for bumper profits
0:00:59 > 0:01:02and take a quick peek as to what's coming up.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05On today's show, the Red's rock...
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Could see that on an album cover.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11That looks very scary.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13And the Blues hit rocky waters...
0:01:13 > 0:01:17- I'll shut up.- Oh, ho-ho!
0:01:17 > 0:01:19At the auction, all's fair in love...
0:01:21 > 0:01:22..and war.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24THEY MIMIC A GUN FIGHT
0:01:25 > 0:01:29So, let's meet today's teams which are married couples.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Let's hope they stay that way after the fray on Bargain Hunt.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35For the Reds we've got Andrea and Wayne,
0:01:35 > 0:01:37and for the Blues we've got Nancy and Simon.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39- Hello, everyone. - ALL: Hello!
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Lovely to see you. Wayne, are you really an old rocker?
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- I am old and I'm definitely a rocker.- Tell us about your rock.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46I love heavy metal.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50I love going to watch it, I love playing it. I play bass guitar.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54- What's your band?- I play in two bands actually, playing covers.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Things like The Who, The Jam, Queen. More popular stuff.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01Not really my passion, although I do still love playing.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05Away from the rock and roll, you and Andrea have become foster carers.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07We have indeed, just recently.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Since December we have had two little girls
0:02:10 > 0:02:14aged six and seven who are staying with us for the long-term.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Isn't that lovely?
0:02:16 > 0:02:18- Quite a lovely experience, is it?- Yes.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22- A bit of a handful, a bit whirlwind, but it's great.- Exactly.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Are you getting them into the music, then? Is that part of your role?
0:02:25 > 0:02:29- Your mentor role.- I'm trying, but Justin Bieber and One Direction
0:02:29 > 0:02:32seem to be taking over at the moment.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33Which isn't really my thing!
0:02:33 > 0:02:36So, Andrea, tell me - how did you meet this old rocker, then?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39I met him and he was the bassist in a band.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42I was engaged to the singer at that time.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- Yeah?- So I was...- So you ditched the singer, did you?- I did.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48I think I got the best one.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- Were you what they call a bit of a groupie in those days?- I still am.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54I was until we got the girls. I'm always at the front.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- You're also a bit of a hoarder.- Very much so.- And you like to buy stuff.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- Mm-hmm.- What sort of stuff do you like to buy?
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Tatty rubbish, really, if you asked Wayne.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04You'll do well in Bargain Hunt, then!
0:03:06 > 0:03:08No, seriously, how do you reckon you two are going to get on
0:03:08 > 0:03:12- on Bargain Hunt today, then? - He'll just do as he's told, he'll be fine.- Will he?
0:03:12 > 0:03:13He's happy with that too.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Anyway, good luck and good fun.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Now, moving across the Atlantic...
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Nancy, I can tell you're not from Cumbria.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- I am from Cumbria. - OK, not originally, you're not.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28No, I'm not. I actually grew up in a small town in Iowa
0:03:28 > 0:03:31and then moved to San Francisco to go to university.
0:03:31 > 0:03:37Then I lived in Denver and then back to Iowa, Minneapolis, Chicago.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39- You've been all over, haven't you? - I have.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- But you were once told you would never walk again.- That's right.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44What happened?
0:03:44 > 0:03:48I had an accident - I was mountain climbing and fell 65 feet
0:03:48 > 0:03:53and crushed both my feet, broke my back, my pelvis, my left arm.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56And ultimately you had a rather nasty bit of surgery, didn't you?
0:03:56 > 0:04:00I did. After ten surgeries on my left foot,
0:04:00 > 0:04:03it got to a point there was nothing left they could do.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07So they said it's either be in a wheelchair or get your leg amputated.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09For me, it was a no-brainer.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12I've run several 5Ks and 10Ks, and even run a marathon.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- Did you really?- I did.- Fantastic.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Well done for overcoming all of that.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20So, Simon, how did you manage to persuade this lovely girl
0:04:20 > 0:04:22from North America to come to windy Cumbria?
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- Lots of begging!- Is that what it was? And grovelling.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Yes, I'm very good at that.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30I got an offer I couldn't say no to, basically.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33What was the opportunity that tempted you both?
0:04:33 > 0:04:38I'm a university scientist in my day life, shall we say, my day job,
0:04:38 > 0:04:43and the offer was to build a research laboratory here for the
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Nuclear Decommissioning Authority in the University of Manchester.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50So we packed up, sold all our stuff in the States and moved over here.
0:04:50 > 0:04:51So how you going to get on
0:04:51 > 0:04:53on Bargain Hunt? Have you got lots of ideas?
0:04:53 > 0:04:57- Oh, yes. Lots of quirky things we are looking for.- Like what?
0:04:57 > 0:05:04- I want to spend little and... - Make lots.- ..profit huge amounts.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Well, now you're talking my language! Anyway, good fun.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11I'm going to give you 300 smackers now. 300 smackers each.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15There you go. You know the rules, your experts await and off you go.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Very, very, very good luck.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Hands across the ocean, eh?
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Let's meet today's experts.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Anita Manning will be keeping an eye on the clock for the Reds.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31And the rocking David Harper will be assisting the Blues.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35OK, guys, we're heading for the Antique Centre.
0:05:35 > 0:05:40We've got 300 quid. Yay! What are you going to buy?
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Ooh, well, hopefully something musical
0:05:42 > 0:05:46- to go with my heavy metal tastes. - Heavy metal!
0:05:46 > 0:05:49I want to buy something cheap and I want to make a load of money.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Oh, my gosh, you're going to be big trouble.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53I hope you're going to be easier.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56I like a bit of junk, but anything with any equestrian - horses on -
0:05:56 > 0:05:58I might not be able to resist.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03The pressure's on - your 60 minutes, teams, starts now.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- Let's get going.- Let's do it.
0:06:06 > 0:06:11- Are you raring to go?- I am.- OK, 60 minutes of experiences.- Let's go.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Wow, look at this place.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- Heading straight for the bar. - Of course.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23I like the bear.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27I would buy that in a heartbeat but I bet it's a thousand quid.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- 1,450.- There you go.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34275. Yeah.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37It would only leave you a wee drop for the other items.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- You're a man of great taste, that's what I have to say.- Thank you.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Simon, chase your wife up the stairs.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Come on, teams, that's enough fun and games. You need to start the shopping.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50HEAVY METAL MUSIC
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Here we go - it's a rocky start for the Reds.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Could see that on an album cover!
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- That looks very scary.- Does it? - Let me see.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05He's scary! He's scary!
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- I do like it.- Oh!
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- I'm trembling with excitement. - Are you trembling?
0:07:10 > 0:07:13You've got Anita trembling with fear.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- How much is it?- £85.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Chinese soapstone.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22Yes. Soapstone is a soft stone which is easily carved.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26This one, we've got the skull of a ram.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29It's quite good, it's quite good.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Now, I wouldn't say this is a Victorian piece,
0:07:32 > 0:07:35I would say this is probably, again, 20th century.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39But it's got a lot of punch.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41What do I say when I do that?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- Just make a guttural kind of roar if you like.- Yeah.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Hurgh! Hurgh!
0:07:48 > 0:07:49Terrifying, Anita(!)
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Just say to him you'll pay...
0:07:51 > 0:07:56You fell in love with it and could you buy it for 40 quid.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Yeah, go on. We'll go for it, I think.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Good luck with that then, Wayne.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Upstairs, the Blues have found a jazzy brooch.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08It's very smart and it's got some good weight to it.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Hallmarks... Get that big eyeglass out, Nancy, find a hallmark for me.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Crikey, you have come prepared!
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- It's on the back, isn't it? - Yeah, well done.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19There is an import mark. So, 1972.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23It's novel, it's different. I've never seen anything like it before.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25It is silver. I think silver's a good idea.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- Do you think 32 is a good price? - I think it's fantastic.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30I think it'll be 30 to 50 in a sale. 20 to 30 in sale.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33If we get it a bit cheaper.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- You're not impressed at all, Nancy, are you?- No.- 'Oh, dear.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40'It's not playing Nancy's tune. So what about the Reds?
0:08:40 > 0:08:44'Are they talking low notes with Steve from the Antique Centre?'
0:08:44 > 0:08:46£45.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Let's do it. I'm happy with that.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Well done, Reds. £85 down to £45. What a discount.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56- Shake my hand.- You'll end up buying this back for yourself!
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Steve, the Blues need you upstairs. They're talking money.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- I would pay ten for that.- Would you?
0:09:03 > 0:09:07We came here looking for quirky and I think that's quirky. I like it.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- I think if we can get that for 30... - No!- Yes!
0:09:11 > 0:09:15- 15?- What do you think, Steve?
0:09:15 > 0:09:20- I like the gentleman's idea. - You're very cute.- Thank you!
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Will Steve be seduced by Nancy's flattery?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25- All right, then, 26.- You see?!
0:09:25 > 0:09:27He certainly is!
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- You said it!- OK, 26, no more compliments.- Shall we do it?
0:09:31 > 0:09:33- Shall we do it?- OK. - Steve, thank you.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37- Let me shake your hand quickly before she says anything else. - Thank you very much, Steve.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Well done, Blues. So both teams have their first item
0:09:40 > 0:09:42with 12 minutes on the clock.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- Keep on going.- OK. - Don't look so disappointed.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Back downstairs, are the Reds barking up the right tree?
0:09:50 > 0:09:53I keep looking at that, I quite like that.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56It is cute, and it's got a wonderful expression and it's endearing.
0:09:56 > 0:10:01But look at the back and see if it's got a maker's stamp on it.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05- No.- What is appealing about this is that it's so cute.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10- Aha.- And if it was just a few pounds, yeah, but at £26...
0:10:12 > 0:10:14You'd expect the rest of the dog for that.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Paws, tail, tongue, everything.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21OK, PAWS that there, then.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23You can come back to it.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25He's looking at me, he knows where I am.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Does he follow you as you move round the room?
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Sticking its tongue out at me.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Back to the Blues.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Do we like a bit of Lalique? I love Lalique.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37I'm just looking at Nancy's face and wondering if she's loving Lalique?
0:10:37 > 0:10:38I'm...
0:10:38 > 0:10:40It hasn't quite touched me.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42DAVID LAUGHS
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Oh! She's not la-la-liking this item either.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49I absolutely adore Lalique. It just oozes style and class.
0:10:49 > 0:10:54You can buy them new today and they are fabulously expensive.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57But it's the early ones that really fascinate me.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Now, have a look at that. Love it, Nancy, love it.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04It says on the tag that it's 1930s and it's - on the base - signed
0:11:04 > 0:11:06"Lalique, France".
0:11:06 > 0:11:09If we get this, then I get to pick the next one because so far...
0:11:11 > 0:11:13I know, but never mind...
0:11:13 > 0:11:15- I'll shut up.- Oh, ho-ho!
0:11:16 > 0:11:20I love a bit of an argument. It really adds a bit of spice.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23That's his standard, "I'll just shut up."
0:11:23 > 0:11:24Is that what he always says?
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- Yes.- Typical! Honestly! - And walks away.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Stop stirring, David.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Meanwhile, the Reds have sniffed out a snuff box
0:11:32 > 0:11:34with a ticket price of £28.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38I like the girl on there. It's like a story, isn't it?
0:11:38 > 0:11:42It looks like it's from the 1940s.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45It's not made of precious metals.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46No, no.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49It's a...a white metal
0:11:49 > 0:11:53with a sort of cellophane picture on it.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57It's not hand-painted or anything. But it has got the look.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59I think it's got...
0:11:59 > 0:12:03I think if we could get it for, like, I don't know...£10, maybe?
0:12:03 > 0:12:07If you can get it for £10, that would be superb
0:12:07 > 0:12:10but I doubt if you'll get it for as low as that.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- But I think that little box has got potential.- Do you like it?
0:12:13 > 0:12:17Well, it's not really my kind of thing but I knew it would be yours
0:12:17 > 0:12:20and I know you like it, so if you're happy, I'm happy.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21He's nice.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25Oh, you softie. So much for being a tough rocker.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Not everyone's such a pushover, though.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32- I thought you weren't supposed to buy anything that had chips in them? - You know what? I do.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34And if something is beautiful,
0:12:34 > 0:12:37it's still beautiful if it has a little chip out of it.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39- OK.- Do you love it, Nancy?
0:12:39 > 0:12:41I like it.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43I don't love it.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47- OK.- But I like it.- OK. Shall I get a price?- Yes, please.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50She's hard to please, this Nancy.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53But David, off you go and get a price.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57Talking of prices, Andrea, have you got a good one for the snuff box?
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- How did you get on? - I got it for 15.- That's a good buy.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Another one in the bag, Reds.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07A holiday on the profits ever closer!
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Have you ever watched Bargain Hunt before, Wayne?
0:13:09 > 0:13:12But you never know, anything can happen at the auction.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16So back to the Blues, and has David got a price on the Lalique dish?
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Right, OK, let's see, Nancy, if it touches you now.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- Are you ready for it?- I'm ready.- 75.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29- I...- Simon, is it touching you? - It's touching me.- It's touching me!
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- Nancy, is it touching you? - No!- No! No!
0:13:34 > 0:13:36- Are we buying it, Nancy?- N...
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- Yes!- Yes! Second buy, well done.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43Lordy, thank goodness for that. Two down for the Blues.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46- Shall we have a look downstairs? - It's my turn.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Yes, definitely your turn.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50So, from one intriguing game to another.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Look what I found down the road in Hexham.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02There are some oddball objects, you know,
0:14:02 > 0:14:06in the far away corners of the United Kingdom...
0:14:06 > 0:14:08like this fellow.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10What is going on here?
0:14:11 > 0:14:15Well, on the face of it, it is a deliciously turned lump of wood.
0:14:15 > 0:14:21Strictly speaking, a piece of treen, because that's what turned wood is.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25Just look at the detail in all these different mouldings.
0:14:25 > 0:14:30The top has a series of concentric rings which are perfectly formed,
0:14:30 > 0:14:35absolutely smooth to the touch and are centred by this concave section.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39By the look of the colour of the timber,
0:14:39 > 0:14:43I don't think this thing is any earlier than about 1900 in date.
0:14:43 > 0:14:48It could have been turned anywhere between, say, 1900 and 1940.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52But it contains some surprises.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56The lower part, which is in the form of a perfect spool,
0:14:56 > 0:14:58comes away from the upper part.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02The upper part has a little recess - call that the female -
0:15:02 > 0:15:06and the lower part has a little projection - call that the male.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Put the male and the female together.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12So perfectly has this object
0:15:12 > 0:15:16been turned, that they lock and they don't come apart.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18So beautifully has this thing been made.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Now, if you look at the upper part, it is
0:15:21 > 0:15:24effectively a cylinder within a cylinder.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Because if I pull the upper, upper part,
0:15:27 > 0:15:31the central convex section stays where it is.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35- Then if you shake it around a bit, - RATTLING
0:15:35 > 0:15:39there's something rattling inside, and when I put the top
0:15:39 > 0:15:42up like this, look, hey presto!
0:15:42 > 0:15:45A bright yellow turned ball.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49Turn to the lower part and pull these cylinders apart -
0:15:49 > 0:15:52and they're a very tight fit -
0:15:52 > 0:15:56and it reveals a compartment with no less than five
0:15:56 > 0:15:59turned wooden counter trays.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Each one with a different colour in the middle.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05But look how beautifully these have been turned.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07They are wafer thin,
0:16:07 > 0:16:10and the turner has even been able to achieve a little outer lip
0:16:10 > 0:16:13to stop whatever's put on the tray
0:16:13 > 0:16:15from rolling or falling out.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19And if I set these out, we've got purple and green
0:16:19 > 0:16:21and red and
0:16:21 > 0:16:25yellow and a pale coloured timber with a cross in the middle of it.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29So that is where the yellow ball should sit,
0:16:29 > 0:16:33inside the coloured yellow counter tray.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37- RATTLING - Do the shake-up process again, pull it up,
0:16:37 > 0:16:41and out comes a green counter, which goes in there.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43I can only imagine that this is a game of chance,
0:16:43 > 0:16:47where you place your wager - a sovereign or two -
0:16:47 > 0:16:51in the appropriate coloured tray and then make the draw,
0:16:51 > 0:16:54and that will entitle you to win your wager.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Now, the price here in Hexham
0:16:57 > 0:16:59of this delicious tour de force
0:16:59 > 0:17:02of the treen maker's art
0:17:02 > 0:17:04could be yours for £50.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Double or quits?
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Well, our teams certainly aren't quitting. Back to the shopping.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14Both teams have two items, and the race is on to find their third,
0:17:14 > 0:17:16with 25 minutes left on the clock.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19What are we looking at here?
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Well, it's a spinning wheel. I don't know how to use one.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26- I'd like to learn how. - I don't know how you use the thing.
0:17:26 > 0:17:31- Presumably it is for decoration. - No...- You can use it.- Look at that.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35I bet that works. Look at that. That is a piece of machinery.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Well, what do you think, Nancy?
0:17:37 > 0:17:42- That is speaking to me.- Seriously? Is it?- Yes.- What is it saying?
0:17:42 > 0:17:46It says, "Take me home so you can learn how to do this."
0:17:46 > 0:17:47- Really?- Yes.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Finally something Nancy likes.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53It is definitely 19th century, and if you look at the little turnings
0:17:53 > 0:17:55and the decoration, I think it is probably
0:17:55 > 0:17:57earlier in the 19th century.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01Very late Georgian, very early Victorian - 1830, 40.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- So...- Do you love the patination, the feel?- I do.
0:18:04 > 0:18:09I can tell you, Simon, that you only get that patination with
0:18:09 > 0:18:12generations of wax and polish.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14It has never been stripped or varnished,
0:18:14 > 0:18:15it's got its natural colour.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19- But it's got to be cheap, because it's just a piece of decoration. - Yeah.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22So let's find Steve.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25- Steve.- 'Ticket price is £95. Steve,
0:18:25 > 0:18:26'prepare for the charm offensive.'
0:18:26 > 0:18:29You're looking very lovely right now, by the way.
0:18:29 > 0:18:30Sorry, we are going for compliments.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34- Give Steve some compliments. - 'Well, it has worked before.'
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- STEVE:- Right, what are we talking about here? Price-wise.
0:18:37 > 0:18:3830 quid.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- STEVE:- That's a fantastic thing! - Yeah, I would think 30.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45- I think it's gorgeous, I love it. - STEVE:- £30?
0:18:45 > 0:18:47I would be crazy.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49- Give me a decent profit. 31. - DAVE LAUGHS
0:18:49 > 0:18:51- 31.- Deal.- No.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- Shake his hand!- 31.- 30.- Shake his hand.
0:18:55 > 0:18:56THEY LAUGH
0:18:56 > 0:19:00- 30.- Nancy.- 30. STEVE:- £30, you've done it again.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- NANCY LAUGHS - That last pound...
0:19:03 > 0:19:05NANCY LAUGHS
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Well, you can't say the Blues weren't on a roll.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Well done - all three items bought.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15- Done! We are done, we are done. Well done.- STEVE:- It is a lovely thing.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17I'm very happy I finally got something I like.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20It is a good job, otherwise I'd have heard it all the way home.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22And for years to come.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Wise move, I think there, Simon.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27So, 12 minutes left.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30You Reds need to get a gallop on and find your final item.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35- It is quite heavy, actually. - This is an interesting thing.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Again it is horse-related. You can't keep away from it.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42It's an inkwell which has been made out of a pony's hoof.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46And this, quite possibly, could have been a pit pony.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52And what would have happened at the end of its life... Its owner,
0:19:52 > 0:19:56who would have loved it and felt great affection for this animal,
0:19:56 > 0:20:00would have had this little inkwell made out of a hoof.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03And we know that the pit pony perhaps
0:20:03 > 0:20:07- died in 1960.- Yeah.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10And its name was Alain.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12And I think that's a lovely thing.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Do we know how much it is?
0:20:14 > 0:20:18Ticket price was 60, the best he can do is 50.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20But I think that's a good buy...
0:20:21 > 0:20:24- ..at that price. - There's only minutes left.
0:20:24 > 0:20:25You need to make a decision.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29- I think we'll go with that, then. - OK.- Happy with that?- Yes.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Hold your horses, that's all three items for the Reds,
0:20:32 > 0:20:34with just minutes to spare.
0:20:34 > 0:20:39The sands of time wait for no man, so, teams, time's up.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Let's check out what the Red team bought, eh?
0:20:41 > 0:20:45Our rockers went on a RAM-page (ha!), and bought this
0:20:45 > 0:20:47ram's skull for £45.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Hoping that they have a nose for a bargain,
0:20:50 > 0:20:53they paid £15 for this 20th-century snuff box.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58And in the final furlong, they cantered home with
0:20:58 > 0:21:01the horse's hoof inkwell for £50.
0:21:01 > 0:21:02Where's the other three?
0:21:02 > 0:21:06- Well, Wayne, Andrea - was that fun or was it fun?- That was great fun.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09I bet it was fun. Looked fun. Now, how much did you spend?
0:21:09 > 0:21:13- 110.- I would like 190 of leftover lolly, please.- There you go.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17You don't like handing that over one little bit, do you?
0:21:17 > 0:21:20- Now, which is your favourite piece? - I liked the little snuffbox.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23- Do you agree, Wayne?- No. - What is your favourite?
0:21:23 > 0:21:24Soapstone ram's head.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28- Yeah?- Great.- Is that going to bring the biggest profit?- No.- No. What is?
0:21:28 > 0:21:32- The little snuffbox, I think.- OK. You are sticking with the snuffbox.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34OK, fine, lovely, that's our predictions.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Anyway, a wodge goes over to Anita Manning.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38What are you going to spend that dosh on, Anita?
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Well, I'm hoping, with all this money, to beat
0:21:41 > 0:21:43some profit for these guys here,
0:21:43 > 0:21:47- because they were quite wonderful. - Oh, that sounds rhythmic.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Anyway. Good luck with that, Anita.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:21:53 > 0:21:54Hoping they've hit the right note,
0:21:54 > 0:21:56they blew £26 on this
0:21:56 > 0:21:58saxophone-shaped silver brooch.
0:22:00 > 0:22:01And building up to a crescendo,
0:22:01 > 0:22:05they went "ooh-la-la" over this French Lalique circular dish
0:22:05 > 0:22:07and paid £75.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11And finally, they're hoping for a WHEELIE good profit
0:22:11 > 0:22:14on this 19th-century mahogany spinning wheel.
0:22:14 > 0:22:15Oh, dear.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- Well, that was fun, wasn't it? - It was a blast.- Excellent.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- Now, Nancy, tell me which is your favourite piece?- The spinning wheel.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25- The spinning wheel. Do you agree with that?- No.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Nothing simple about Simon, is there? OK.
0:22:27 > 0:22:32- I liked the little silver saxophone, the brooch.- Really? Good.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34You like it. Will it bring the biggest profit?
0:22:34 > 0:22:37I think, of the three we've got, it will bring the biggest profit, yes.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40- Do you agree with that, Nancy?- No. - There we go, here we go again.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43I think the two things... Because he picked two out of the three.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46I think both of his are going to lose money.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49- Oh!- No support.- She's hoping...
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Now, so that's that, how much did you spend overall?
0:22:52 > 0:22:55- Er...- 131.- 131.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Oh, 131. What's that?
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- 169.- That's about right.- Roughly.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04OK, you don't need to be a nuclear physicist to add that.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08- But you got the fusion right.- Yes, that's right.- OK, fine, here we go.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10- There you go.- I'm counting on him.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Yes, he could have his work cut out today, though, boy.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15I think... Mind you, there's plenty of good things in here, Tim, it is
0:23:15 > 0:23:17quite a delight. We are surrounded.
0:23:17 > 0:23:18What can you find that is going
0:23:18 > 0:23:20to make that profit? That extra bite, boy.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22This is the thing. Full of good things, but maybe
0:23:22 > 0:23:25- too good for my budget.- I know.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28I'm thinking a £200 profit, probably.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30- Are you?- Yes.- I think...
0:23:30 > 0:23:35- She is piling the pressure on me, Tim.- Think on, that's all I can say.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36Anyway, jolly good fun, you've been
0:23:36 > 0:23:38watching too much television, you have.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Anyway, that's it for that. Off you go, David, and good luck
0:23:41 > 0:23:44because shortly we will be shuffling straight off to the auction.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- Thank you very much. Thank you, Nancy.- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:23:53 > 0:23:58Well, how lovely is this, to be in Paul Laidlaw's saleroom in Carlisle?
0:23:58 > 0:23:59Great to be here.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03Now, we've got this archaic style stone lump,
0:24:03 > 0:24:05said to be Chinese.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- Could be anything, really, couldn't it?- Indeed.
0:24:08 > 0:24:13Look, I've got that keyword, "style", in there.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15I don't think there's any great age to it, I think
0:24:15 > 0:24:18it was long ago in a container, I suspect.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21But it's a mystery object. I don't know what the origin...
0:24:21 > 0:24:26I don't though what they are trying to produce or reproduce here.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29- But I will tell you what it is - it's a speculator's piece.- Yes.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33- It is a bit of fun, a desk ornament. How much?- £20-£40.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35- If you want it, it's got to be worth that.- Exactly,
0:24:35 > 0:24:36£45 is what they paid,
0:24:36 > 0:24:40so I suspect that there's going to be a small loss there.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43When it comes to little boxes, as you know, I'm passionate.
0:24:43 > 0:24:48Chromium plated with a print in the top don't really do it for me.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51I'm in your camp with this one, Tim.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55- Ordinarily, I wouldn't be rushing to stick a lot number on it.- Exactly.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58And if the truth be known, you would have 15 or 20 of them, you
0:24:58 > 0:25:02would stick them in a box and they would be in at £40-£60 for 15 to 20.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- You've got one on its own, what's your estimate?- I've gone at £10-£20.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08- But it could make two, frankly?- Yes.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11And the team paid £15, so they didn't pay a lot of money for it.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15The bit that I do like, though, is this hoof inkwell.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- It's a fine object, isn't it? - It's a cracking thing.
0:25:18 > 0:25:23If that is your thing, short of turning up the Holy Grail,
0:25:23 > 0:25:25the silver mounted one, that is about as good
0:25:25 > 0:25:26as you will hope to find.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30- What is it worth?- £50-£80. - Brilliant, £50 paid.- Aye, good buy.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Excellent. Well, on that basis,
0:25:32 > 0:25:34I don't think this team are going to do too badly,
0:25:34 > 0:25:36but on the other hand, they might need their bonus buy,
0:25:36 > 0:25:39so let's go have a look at it.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42W and A, Wayne and Andrea.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Ha-ha. This is your moment.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48You spent £110, you gave £190 to A Manning.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Anita, what did you buy?
0:25:50 > 0:25:55Well, I have two rock and rollers here, two musicos.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59And in music, the most important thing is the beat.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02But I've bought something you would find on another
0:26:02 > 0:26:04type of beat.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06- LAUGHTER - Ah!
0:26:07 > 0:26:10It's a copper's truncheon.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14This is late 19th, early 20th century.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16And this is what the police would have carried.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Now, I like this one because it has
0:26:19 > 0:26:21some painted detail on it.
0:26:21 > 0:26:26Now, there were many different forces in Britain at that time,
0:26:26 > 0:26:29and each force had a different
0:26:29 > 0:26:32design on there,
0:26:32 > 0:26:35for their emblem or their area, so...
0:26:37 > 0:26:38What do you think of that?
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Does this type of beat...
0:26:40 > 0:26:42SHE LAUGHS
0:26:42 > 0:26:44- ..press your buttons?- Yes.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48- Can we tell which force it's from? - It is quite a nice weight there.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Is it quite a nice weight?
0:26:50 > 0:26:53Now, could you beat a drum with it, do you think?
0:26:53 > 0:26:55- But you were a bass player, weren't you?- I am.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59- For beating the strings as well. - So how much did you pay for it?
0:26:59 > 0:27:02- I paid £30.- Oh.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04- Didn't break the bank, then.- No.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07£30 is not a bad price for it.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10The painting is not as sharp as it was.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Is there no way to identify which force it was from?
0:27:12 > 0:27:16You probably could, doing a little bit of homework and maybe
0:27:16 > 0:27:20taking some photographs and blowing it up, you could identify it.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22So how much do you think it will bring, with the smudge...
0:27:22 > 0:27:26- Well, I think it maybe could go to £50.- Oh, that's fine.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29- On a good day.- So, are you happy? - Yes.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31You've got all your information, that's brilliant.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34And now, for the audience at home, let's find out what
0:27:34 > 0:27:37the auctioneer thinks about Anita's little truncheon.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Right then, Paul.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42- Hello, hello.- Indeed. - HE LAUGHS
0:27:42 > 0:27:44It's rather rubbed, isn't it?
0:27:44 > 0:27:48It is, to within an inch of its life...I fear.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51You get the right obscure constabulary unit,
0:27:51 > 0:27:55and these things can make a small fortune. Um...
0:27:55 > 0:27:57But, in themselves,
0:27:57 > 0:28:00painted truncheons aren't rare.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04And this, sadly, isn't the first one you would rush to buy.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08- OK.- Purely because it has just lost its appeal.- Mmm.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12I agree with you. How much, in this rubbed state?
0:28:12 > 0:28:16- £20-£30 is probably a bullish estimate.- Is it?
0:28:16 > 0:28:19OK, Anita bought it as a bonus buy, and she paid 30.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22- So she's not far off.- We are in the right boundary.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Now, that's it for the Reds, now for the Blues,
0:28:24 > 0:28:26and a lovely mixture they've got.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29The novelty brooch in the form of a saxophone.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31That's a good thing.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34That is not an antique, but it's a good thing.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36There's good workmanship there, its price.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39There is substance to it - it's not lightweight, throwaway.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43I... Look, I think you buy that for £20-£40, that's a good buy.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47- OK, £26 was paid. So they paid the right price, didn't they?- Yeah.
0:28:47 > 0:28:52Good. Now, next. I really rate this next job, because Lalique is
0:28:52 > 0:28:55the most surprising factory when it comes to sales,
0:28:55 > 0:28:56isn't it, at auction?
0:28:56 > 0:29:00Because the internet bids that can be attracted to the right
0:29:00 > 0:29:02- piece of Lalique are extraordinary. - They are.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06I love the form of this, I love the quality of the metal,
0:29:06 > 0:29:09the blue opaline aspect to it.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11- It is a good little dish!- Isn't it?
0:29:11 > 0:29:15- So, they paid 75.- That is a good buy.- Good buy.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18- What is your estimate? - I've gone in at 60 to 100 on that.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20- And it could easily make £120.- Yeah.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23'That's a good estimate. Despite the small chip.'
0:29:23 > 0:29:27- And, lastly, we've got the spinning wheel.- Yes.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31Again, we see up and down the country no end of spinning wheels.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34But this is better than most.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38The quality of the turning... the balusters are lovely.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42It is not a rustic piece. This is a better quality example.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45- So, what's your estimate?- 40 to 80. - Lovely, I'm loving it.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47£30 they paid.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49Oh, we've got a good warm feeling about the Blues,
0:29:49 > 0:29:53they are never going to need their bonus buy, but let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56- Well, this is exciting, isn't it? - It's very exciting.- Sure is.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59Yeah, sure is. I mean, to give a man like David Harper
0:29:59 > 0:30:02- £169...- We're very generous.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06..and to send him boldly forth is quite something, isn't it?
0:30:06 > 0:30:08- Yeah, and scary.- And scary.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10Well, prepare to be really frightened
0:30:10 > 0:30:14because David is about to reveal what he spent the £169 on.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18- Go, Dave, go.- OK. Well, I think we are going to go on a musical theme.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20So, inside this little fitted case...
0:30:20 > 0:30:24- Which looks like a pipe case. - It does. It does.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26- We have something that looks like...- Oh!
0:30:26 > 0:30:29..an X-ray gun.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31THEY LAUGH
0:30:31 > 0:30:36- Now, Simon knows all about x-rays and radiation.- Yes.- And all that business.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39- So...- How does that work then, Simon?
0:30:39 > 0:30:41I have no idea what it actually is.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43Well, it is a musical instrument,
0:30:43 > 0:30:46and it's an ancient musical instrument, not necessarily
0:30:46 > 0:30:50that one, but the model itself dates back thousands of years.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53- And the pronunciation is...- Ocarina.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57- Ocarina! That's the one, yes. - Don't break it.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00So you blow into it, and that, the little silver-plated
0:31:00 > 0:31:03tube there, will change the tune.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06It is late 19th century, it is a Parisian maker.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08It's a fun thing.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11- Do you blow into the handle? - I think you do.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13- Would you blow across the top of it, like a flute?- No idea.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15FAINT BLOWING
0:31:15 > 0:31:17- Well, that doesn't work. - That's not so good, that.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21I personally would like to know where it's been before I blow.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24- Do you like it?- Yes, I do. It is just...
0:31:24 > 0:31:28it is quirky, it is unique, I have never, ever seen anything like it.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31- Now let's get down to business. - Shall we?
0:31:31 > 0:31:34OK, well, I paid 65.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37- Mmm.- What do you think about that?
0:31:37 > 0:31:41I have just no concept about what the actual value of it would be, but
0:31:41 > 0:31:44- it's...- I'm slightly concerned by that face.- How do you feel, Nance?
0:31:44 > 0:31:46- A bit sick?- A little bit.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49- Yeah.- I don't know if that's because I blew on it or I heard the price.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51SHE LAUGHS
0:31:51 > 0:31:55I take it from that grimace that you don't think it's worth £65?
0:31:55 > 0:31:58Is that your instinctive reaction or do you think, "That is cool for 65"?
0:31:58 > 0:32:02I think it is going to depend on the people we have at the auction.
0:32:02 > 0:32:06- Yeah. It is a long way from Peru, is Carlisle.- It is.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09- I think...- I would be more impressed if somebody could play it.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13Yes, I know. I'm so sorry to let you down in that respect.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Brilliant. Thank you very much, Dave, for educating us today.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19You don't choose until after the sale of your first three items,
0:32:19 > 0:32:21but right now, for the audience at home,
0:32:21 > 0:32:24let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Dave's ocarina.
0:32:26 > 0:32:27Well, well, well.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30We see some weird things on this programme,
0:32:30 > 0:32:34- and this is about to take the ticket, I think.- Yeah...
0:32:34 > 0:32:35I love this.
0:32:36 > 0:32:40Of age, cries out late 19th century. In its case.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43And stamped up Mezzetti.
0:32:43 > 0:32:47Now, the Mezzetti brothers play a key role
0:32:47 > 0:32:49in the refinement of the ocarina
0:32:49 > 0:32:51as a musical instrument in the late 19th century.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54Originating in Italy, settling in Paris,
0:32:54 > 0:32:58- this is a Parisian made piece.- Have you ever played one?- I have not.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01No, me neither, and we're not going to start now.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03- OK, what is your estimate?- 40 to 80.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06OK, the Harper paid £65, he's a cunning fox. Brilliant.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10- Well, I'm looking forward to this, are you looking forward to it? - Absolutely.- Me too.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15Thank you anyway. Anyone else?
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Wayne. How many times do you go to auction, mate?
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Oh, I've been at least...
0:33:19 > 0:33:23- This is my first time.- What about you, Andrea?- My first time too.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27- Is it really?- I look on the internet.- You are standing next door to two people who've
0:33:27 > 0:33:30been to an auction or two. Aren't they, Anita?
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Thousands, millions.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36And every one is different and every one is exciting.
0:33:36 > 0:33:40OK, first up, then, is the Chinese green stone, and here it comes.

0:35:56 > 0:35:59So what are you going to do about the police truncheon?
0:35:59 > 0:36:01Are you going to risk it for a biscuit, or park your £50?
0:36:01 > 0:36:03She can't help you. What are you going to do?
0:36:03 > 0:36:06She doesn't need to help me. We are going for it. We are going for it.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09- Are you?- Yes.- Definitely? - Definitely.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11We are going with the bonus buy.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13I can now tell you that the auctioneer's estimate is £20-£40.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15You paid £30, that's slap bang in the middle.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17It seems like a wise decision to me.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20You're going with the bonus buy, and here we go.

0:37:29 > 0:37:31Schtum. Schtum indeed.
0:37:40 > 0:37:45- Simon, Nancy - do you know how the Reds got on?- No, have no idea.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47Did they look confident when you passed them in the corridor?
0:37:47 > 0:37:51- They looked sad.- Did they? - They did!- Oh, dear.
0:37:51 > 0:37:52Oh, well, there we go.
0:37:52 > 0:37:57Anyway - first up is the novelty silver brooch in the form of a sax.
