0:00:03 > 0:00:07Here we are at Ardingly, but where do we begin?
0:00:07 > 0:00:11To hunt for bargains far and wide, and try so hard to win.
0:00:11 > 0:00:15We start the clock, an hour-long - dawdle if they dare.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17It's time to go. Let us begin.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19Let's go Bargain Hunting, yeah.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46We are at the Ardingly International Antiques & Collectors Fair,
0:00:46 > 0:00:49the largest fair of its type in the south of England.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52With over 1,700 stalls to choose from,
0:00:52 > 0:00:55our teams should get the pick of the crop.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Let's have a quick peek as to what's coming up.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Today, we have two teams with two types of tactics.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05It's a bit of a riot with the Reds...
0:01:05 > 0:01:06I'm panicking, David.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08We've got to buy something now, team.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Whilst the Blues are cool, calm and collected.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- However, over at the auction, both teams go giddy.- 120, 130,
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- 150...- Yeah.- It's a profit.
0:01:19 > 0:01:2025...no?
0:01:20 > 0:01:24But before all that, let's meet the teams.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28On today's show, we have a fun double act.
0:01:28 > 0:01:33For the Reds, we have husband and wife David and Katie,
0:01:33 > 0:01:37and for the Blues, we have partners in crime, Rachel and Glenda.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39- Hello, everyone. - ALL: Hello!
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Gosh, how lovely. David, Katie, you're married
0:01:41 > 0:01:44and you also work together as children's entertainers.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47We are. For 27 years now, we've been doing children's parties -
0:01:47 > 0:01:51- sort of a panto for any time of the year.- Gosh.- It's good fun.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55- Must be quite tiring, isn't it? - It is but it's very rewarding.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- We love it.- You're also quite quick on your feet, Davido.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Yeah, I took up running about 15 years ago,
0:02:00 > 0:02:03and Katie encouraged me to enter a few races, and my last success,
0:02:03 > 0:02:07I came 79th out of 10,000 runners
0:02:07 > 0:02:09when I did a race in Florida last year.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11- My gosh, that's jolly good going. - I know.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13So, Katie, when you're not entertaining the kiddy-wids,
0:02:13 > 0:02:16you like to leg it down to the stables?
0:02:16 > 0:02:17Yes, I'm an instructor for
0:02:17 > 0:02:19the Cranleigh Riding For The Disabled Group.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23And what is it about a disabled child having that moment
0:02:23 > 0:02:27- on the back of a horse? It does something electric.- Oh, it does.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30It does. It actually causes the core muscles to work, and...
0:02:30 > 0:02:31Is that the case?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33It actually... A child that cannot sit up,
0:02:33 > 0:02:35hold themselves stable on a chair,
0:02:35 > 0:02:37can hold themselves upright on a moving horse.
0:02:37 > 0:02:42Now, the tale of your meeting could be a story from the movies.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45- Is there a fairy-tale ending? - Well, there is, yes.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49At the time, David was working in a cinema as a cinema manager
0:02:49 > 0:02:53and I got down to the last pound in my purse, so I needed a job,
0:02:53 > 0:02:56and the job I got was cinema usherette.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Within six months, we got together
0:02:58 > 0:03:02and we were on holiday in Florida, at Disney World,
0:03:02 > 0:03:05and David hired an airship,
0:03:05 > 0:03:10- flying over the Magic Kingdom, and David proposed to me.- Gosh.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14And then we got married one year later, back in Disney World,
0:03:14 > 0:03:18and we had a Beauty and the Beast themed wedding - fairy-tale ending.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20- It's a romance, how lovely. - KATIE GIGGLES
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Now, how are you two going to get on today on Bargain Hunt?
0:03:23 > 0:03:25- Have you got any strategy?- Yes.- Yes.
0:03:25 > 0:03:26Buy whatever Katie likes.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27- OK.- Well...
0:03:27 > 0:03:30The recipe for a long and happy marriage.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- Anyway, I hope you enjoy yourselves. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Good. Now, you girls are
0:03:35 > 0:03:37- a force to be reckoned with, aren't you?- We are.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38We met about 20 years ago
0:03:38 > 0:03:42when we were training to become the first female nightclub bouncers.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- Really?- Yeah.- So how does the bouncing job work, then?
0:03:45 > 0:03:47You've got somebody who's really aggressive at the door
0:03:47 > 0:03:50and you've got to peaceably try and deflect their anger.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52How do you do that, Rach?
0:03:52 > 0:03:54- Bat your eyelids. - Is that what you do?
0:03:54 > 0:03:56- Tell them off like you're their mum. - Oh, really?- Yes,
0:03:56 > 0:03:58no-one wants to be told off by their mum
0:03:58 > 0:03:59in front of lots of people,
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- so if you just do it like that... - Is that the way you do it?- Yeah.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06How brilliant. And did you have to develop skills as female bouncers?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08- Yeah.- Like, are you strong?
0:04:08 > 0:04:10- Reasonably strong.- Reasonably strong. - Reasonably strong.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- But what about the powerlifting competitions?- Yeah.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15You've won powerlifting competitions, haven't you?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17We've just started the powerlifting, haven't we?
0:04:17 > 0:04:19- My husband's a power lifter... - Is he?
0:04:19 > 0:04:21..and he's a British and European champion,
0:04:21 > 0:04:23and he also holds a few world records,
0:04:23 > 0:04:26and he's got three gold medals from the Commonwealth Games.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- Gosh, he's good, then, isn't he? - So...he is pretty good, yes.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- And he's giving you a few tips. - He's giving us tips.- Training us.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34You're not only an ex-bouncer,
0:04:34 > 0:04:36but also, you're a police officer.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39I am. Yeah, I've been a police officer for nearly 11 years now.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Mm-hm, what's the good bit of the job?
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Erm, I just like the variety. Not knowing what I'm going to...
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- Yeah. - ..the excitement of the emergencies.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Now, you're no stranger to the laws of the land, are you, Glenda?
0:04:50 > 0:04:52No, I'm not. I used to be a police officer myself,
0:04:52 > 0:04:55but now I work in the law courts as an usher.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Tell me about your tactics today, then.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- Yeah.- I'd like to spend big and Rachel wants to spend small.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- So, who's going to win, then, in this battle between you?- Me.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Oh, that's decided, is it?
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- Yeah, I'm good. - Rachel is always the voice of reason
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- and she's good at haggling. - Good negotiator.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Are you? OK, well, we'll see exactly how you get on in a moment,
0:05:12 > 0:05:15but right now, it's the money moment. £300 apiece.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17- There you go, Glenda, £300. - Thank you.
0:05:17 > 0:05:18- Katie, £300.- Thank you.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20You know the rules, your experts await
0:05:20 > 0:05:22and off you go!
0:05:22 > 0:05:24And very, very, very good luck.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Well, we won't be naughty today, will we?
0:05:29 > 0:05:34And, of course, our two terrific teams need two excited experts.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Charles Hanson will be flying the flag for the Reds,
0:05:38 > 0:05:41whilst Charlie Ross will be clowning around with the Blues.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Do you know? I feel like I'm being escorted from a nightclub,
0:05:56 > 0:05:58having been a naughty boy.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- Now, shopping - up for it?- Yeah.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Of course, Katie and David, what really excites me
0:06:03 > 0:06:05is you are entertainers, children's entertainers?
0:06:05 > 0:06:07- Yeah, that's what we do for a living.- I'm a big kid,
0:06:07 > 0:06:09so entertain me now. What are we looking for?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Right, we're looking for something exciting
0:06:11 > 0:06:13- and bright and colourful.- Oh, yeah.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- What are you looking for, girls? - Erm, small and pretty.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Small and pretty? Well, here I am.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- Anything silver and nothing that needs too much cleaning.- Oh, really?
0:06:22 > 0:06:24I don't think people like cleaning too much.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Right, teams, your 60 minutes starts now.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- WHISTLE BLOWS - Now, I think we should do our
0:06:29 > 0:06:31shopping inside. There's a good building in there,
0:06:31 > 0:06:33lots of nice small things. Let's start there.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37- Find a nice cabinet full of smalls. - I agree.- Yeah, full of nice little
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- trinkets and things - sparkly, glittery.- Silver, shiny things.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- Smalls.- Always a good way to enter the hour.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44I want to see your smalls, Charles. Let's go.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Ooh, lordy, that's a bit personal, David.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50So, smalls are on the menu for our larger-than-life teams today.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51Shall we buy that bulldog?
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Don't buy that bulldog, it's not for sale.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Come on, Glenda, this is Bargain Hunt not Barking Hunt.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- Give me a shout if you see something...- Hello, hello.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03The Blues have spotted a jewellery stall already.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- So, love jewellery. - You love jewellery?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08- Don't we, Rach?- Mm-hm. - Yellow gold.- Yellow gold.- Yeah.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- Could we have a look at those, please?- Yep.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14Now, for a gold charm, what you want is something that's different.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Six grams. How much is a gram of nine-carat gold this morning, madam?
0:07:17 > 0:07:19- I think it's about ten.- About ten.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Six grams, 60 quid. There you are, you see?
0:07:21 > 0:07:23That's quite sweet, isn't it?
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- They're OK, I wouldn't buy them myself.- No, that's fine.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27I want you to buy something where you say...
0:07:27 > 0:07:29We've always got it in our mind if we...
0:07:29 > 0:07:30- "Really, really like it."- Yeah.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Crikey, there's no messing around with you, girls.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34- Onwards!- Charlie...
0:07:34 > 0:07:38Now, how is the Reds' quest for smalls going?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Mmm, furniture - not exactly small, is it?
0:07:40 > 0:07:42- Nice oak Victorian chair.- Yeah.
0:07:42 > 0:07:48What I like is this cartouche back, with a vacant inner,
0:07:48 > 0:07:51and it would date to around 1840, 1830.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- OK.- And this one probably isn't stamped.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- David, look at the cobwebs.- That hasn't had much cleaning, has it?- No.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58It comes with a free spider.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01What I love, though, Katie, is the wood. It's fresh.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- Do you like it?- I do. The only thing that I've spotted is this looks fine,
0:08:04 > 0:08:07- but there's a little bit of damage here.- I've just noticed that.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08I didn't see that, so good spot.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- Eagle-eye David.- Thank you, Mr Hanson.- I like your style.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13I wonder how much this chair is, sir.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15- How about £50?- Yeah, there you go.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- Good chair, you see.- Mm-hm. It's the kind of thing
0:08:18 > 0:08:21I'd be looking more to pay like 25 for, to be honest.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Our teams certainly know what they like today.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26The Blues are still looking for that piece of jewellery.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30- We both like that little... Is it jade?- I do quite like it.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32I think it's modern. I think it's jade. Jade is one of...
0:08:32 > 0:08:36I find jade the most difficult thing in the world to date,
0:08:36 > 0:08:39but jade is very popular
0:08:39 > 0:08:43- and it's quite a charming little image of a Buddha.- Yeah.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45In view of the fact that you've only got an hour to shop,
0:08:45 > 0:08:49and you've seen something you both like, and it is inexpensive...
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Frankly, who am I to be churlish and tell you not to have a go at it?
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- Who is the negotiator here? - That's me.- Rachel.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Hold out your hand.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01What's the best price you'll go on that?
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- 18 would be my best price. - 18? You won't go any lower?
0:09:04 > 0:09:06I can't, no. It's so cheap, anyway.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08OK...
0:09:08 > 0:09:10What do you think? 17? Cash.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- 17?- Go on, then.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14£17.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- Madam, I'm going to pay for these girls.- Right.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18£20.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Knowing Rachel, she'll want a bit of change.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- Lovely, thank you... - Loving your work, girls.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25- One down, two to go.- Come on.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Meanwhile, the Reds are still hunting for their first item.
0:09:31 > 0:09:36Some quite nice, market-fresh, almost dusty antiques.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38There's a funny little doll in a packet.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39Oh, yeah, look, can you see her legs?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- Oh, her foot's broken off, though. - Her foot's broken off.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46- Right, girls...- Back with the Blues, and Charlie's spotted an old friend.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48- How's your golf?- They let you in here?- How's your golf?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- My golf is sensational... - Come along.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- No time for chitter-chatter, Charlie, old fruit.- Very good.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- I've got two absolutely delightful girls here.- Hi!- Hi!
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Good to see you again. You've got to remember that fabulous things
0:09:58 > 0:10:00aren't necessarily cheap, are they, sir?
0:10:00 > 0:10:02- No.- No, no. RACHEL: Look at the little heart.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04- Yeah, and I like... - You like the little heart?
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- MAN: Yes, that is solid silver. - That's the one I like.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10MAN: That one, I would charge you £60.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12- It has got engraving on it... - It's got the monogram, yeah.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16..which is, you know, possibly a bit of a disadvantage,
0:10:16 > 0:10:19because if you wanted to give it to somebody as a present,
0:10:19 > 0:10:20you'd obviously want to
0:10:20 > 0:10:22- engrave your own initials on it, wouldn't you?- Yeah.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- But what do you think, girls? - I like it.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28I do like it, but I think £60 goes against our ethos
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- that we came with today. - I'm with a couple of cheapskates.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34- MAN: Which is what? Nothing over 20? - Which is...- No, I'm not.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38I'm prepared to splash the cash. Rachel's the tight one.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Rachel, would you like to go and have a cup of tea somewhere
0:10:41 > 0:10:43- for a minute?- No, I'm not saying I'm really tight.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45- I just want to make a bargain. - No, I...
0:10:45 > 0:10:47- MAN: Yeah, she wants to make a profit.- Yeah, no, I agree with you.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- Yeah.- So you'd need, if you were going to make money...
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- Yeah, yeah.- ..to buy it for £40, and he would probably nod like mad.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55- Oh, no, he's shaking his head.- 45.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Look, it's come down from 60 to 45.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00And that would be my absolute minimum price.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02- I can't believe...- 43? - What?
0:11:02 > 0:11:0443. - 43?
0:11:04 > 0:11:08What are you doing to me? I've got three children.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10All right, go on. You've got a deal. - He'll do it!
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Nice work, Raquel.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16Those £2 could make all the difference at auction. Very shrewd.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20That's two for the Blues in 20 minutes. They're on a mission.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24Meanwhile, the Reds have tracked down a piece of Victorian treen.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Treen is the term given to
0:11:26 > 0:11:29a small, tactile article made of wood, usually turned. Ha!
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- Look at that, isn't that cute?- Yes.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- That's really quite nice. Look at the ground pontil mark.- Oh, yes.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38- You see the roughness, the nature? - Yeah, where it was...
0:11:38 > 0:11:40- Blown off the pontil rod.- Yeah.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44And what I love is this treen case is a fruit wood -
0:11:44 > 0:11:46could be an apple wood, could be a pear wood.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48I love the... I love the wood.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- I love the little burr.- I love it. - Yes.- I'm drawn to it.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52- What's it worth? - DAVID HISSES
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Ah, I don't know. I'd hope they'd say 40 to 60.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59- I would guide it, as an auctioneer, between £50 and £70.- Hmm.- Yes.
0:11:59 > 0:12:04- So, if Mr Dealer is prepared to take £40 or £45...- Yeah.- Yes.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06..I think there could be a deal.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08- What's your best price? - My best price is £50.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12- And I will say to you, if we're all in agreement...- Yes.- ..buy it.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14In the interest of just trying to make a profit, though,
0:12:14 > 0:12:18I wonder if the stallholder would accept £49.99?
0:12:18 > 0:12:23No, sir. If you wish to go to the car boot, it's on on Sunday.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Touche. Worth a try, eh, Dave?
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Right, Reds, you're almost back on track.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Let's leave them to it.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Time to stick the kettle on, I reckon.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37Do you like a cup of tea? Well, half the nation likes a cup of tea.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Tea, after all, is the British favourite
0:12:41 > 0:12:43and over two and a half centuries,
0:12:43 > 0:12:48we've perfected some pretty classy ways of taking our tea.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52For example, this fellow - a spirit kettle,
0:12:52 > 0:12:59and this piece dates, I guess, from about 1905 or 1906.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02The kettle bit is easy to recognise, isn't it?
0:13:02 > 0:13:04It's got a swing handle on the top.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07It's designed to take a hot fluid,
0:13:07 > 0:13:11because this very finely woven raffia
0:13:11 > 0:13:14has been crafted specifically to stop your hand getting too hot.
0:13:14 > 0:13:19The oval cover itself has a turned beechwood knop on it,
0:13:19 > 0:13:24in the form of an acorn, enabling you to fill the kettle.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28And because this thing, when it's full, it would be quite heavy,
0:13:28 > 0:13:32so the design includes a cunning hinged arrangement,
0:13:32 > 0:13:35and her ladyship, when pouring afternoon tea,
0:13:35 > 0:13:40would then simply not lift it but hinge it forward, like that.
0:13:40 > 0:13:45And because it's double-hinged, it's possible to pull out that pin
0:13:45 > 0:13:49and that enables you to pick the whole thing up off the stand.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51All very handy.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55Now, if we look at the stand itself, that has been crafted out of
0:13:55 > 0:13:59silver plate too, and in a typically Arts and Crafts way,
0:13:59 > 0:14:04the feet on the cabriole legs terminate in a little trefoil.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08There is one peculiar thing about this stand though,
0:14:08 > 0:14:10and that is that it doesn't have
0:14:10 > 0:14:13a methylated spirit burner in the bottom.
0:14:13 > 0:14:14Why is that?
0:14:14 > 0:14:19Because this thing keeps warm with a miracle new material...
0:14:19 > 0:14:21called electricity.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25And that's what makes this teakettle extremely rare
0:14:25 > 0:14:26and interesting.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29If you look carefully, you can see stamped there,
0:14:29 > 0:14:33110, 150 and 220,
0:14:33 > 0:14:37and depending on which of the sockets that you plug in
0:14:37 > 0:14:42using this lead, will give you more or less heat
0:14:42 > 0:14:44on the element inside the tea kettle.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46And to connect it to the power,
0:14:46 > 0:14:48you've got this marvellous original cord.
0:14:48 > 0:14:54It's a two-core cable, so there's nothing earthed and fused in this.
0:14:54 > 0:14:55Technically, I guess,
0:14:55 > 0:14:59quite a dangerous piece of electrical equipment.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02So, just how unusual is this object?
0:15:02 > 0:15:06Well, I have to tell you, in many, many years of my poking around
0:15:06 > 0:15:09silver-plated items, I've never encountered
0:15:09 > 0:15:13an electric-powered spirit kettle ever in my life.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15I think it's an incredibly rare object.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18The fact that it's rare - does it make it valuable?
0:15:18 > 0:15:19Not necessarily so.
0:15:19 > 0:15:24It would cost you, here today, in the fair, in Ardingly,
0:15:24 > 0:15:26a comfortable £60.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29What might you get for it in a specialist auction?
0:15:29 > 0:15:33Well, I think it could bring as much as £150 to £200.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Mmm, I'll drink to that.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40OK, so, we left our teams
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- stewing for their final buys. - Then we go round the other side...
0:15:43 > 0:15:46We're halfway through the shop, and the Blues have the Buddha
0:15:46 > 0:15:49in the bag, along with their pretty piece of silver.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53However, the Reds only have the one item to their name.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Two different styles of shopping today, methinks.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57You are so decisive. What would you like?
0:15:57 > 0:15:59- Charlie, look at that. - Oh, they're off again.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02"Any person who omits to shut or fasten this gate
0:16:02 > 0:16:04"is liable to a penalty not exceeding..."
0:16:04 > 0:16:06ALL THREE: "..40 shillings."
0:16:06 > 0:16:08- Isn't that lovely?- I love it.
0:16:10 > 0:16:11I mean, obviously, it is old.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15It's been repainted anyway, but I think this is a new casting.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- OK.- Oh, OK.- You're going to ask me why I know that...- Yep.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21..and it's more of a gut reaction than anything else.
0:16:21 > 0:16:26- I think that that is a reproduction that's been made.- Right.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28So, I think it's a great thing, it's great fun,
0:16:28 > 0:16:30- but, you know, ten, 20 quid. - It's not going to make any money.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32- I don't think it's going to make money.- Moving on, then.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Right, come on, Carlos, time to rally your troops.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37- Erm, right, come on, team. - Oh, look, David's spotted something.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40- Charles.- Yeah? - Katie, come and have a look at this.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42- What's that?- Well, I'm not sure.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45It just caught my eye. It was very shiny. Here we go...
0:16:45 > 0:16:51"Circa 1930, musical pourer - very rare."
0:16:51 > 0:16:52- Musical pourer?- Yeah.- What?
0:16:52 > 0:16:54- Isn't that interesting? - Do you know what that is?
0:16:54 > 0:16:56- I've never seen one before... - No, I have never...
0:16:56 > 0:16:58..in my entire career.
0:16:58 > 0:17:03So, essentially, it's a bottle-top that sits on the bottle like that.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06You maybe, for novelty value, wind it up...
0:17:06 > 0:17:12MUSIC CHIMES
0:17:12 > 0:17:13And what tune is it playing?
0:17:13 > 0:17:15- That is what I was trying to work out.- I don't know.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19- To reflect the art of a drink... - Do you think it's French?
0:17:19 > 0:17:21- Do you think it's Francais? - Yes, it could be.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24- That's lovely.- It's something you would have at home
0:17:24 > 0:17:26- as a novelty item on the dining room table.- Yeah.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29I would say 1930s-style.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33I would say it's more kitsch, meaning more like 1950s.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35- It's lovely.- Really?
0:17:35 > 0:17:38- He's saying no. He's saying no. - How much, David, is it?
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Well, it says 38. - It'll be 30.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Is 30 your absolute death?
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- You couldn't go down to 25? - No, I couldn't.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47I'd go to 28, to help you.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49- Let's do it. - OK.- Let's do it.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- Thanks.- Thank you. - I'll drink to that. Well done, Reds.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56- That means we've only spent £20... - Yes.- ..plus 50, equals...- £78.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- ..meaning we've got how much left over?- Quite a lot.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01- 222.- That's a big amount of money.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- Come on.- Let's go.- Certainly is. Over two thirds of your budget left
0:18:04 > 0:18:07and only one item to buy.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10- So, what have you seen? - It's this item here.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13What an extraordinary thing. What is it?
0:18:13 > 0:18:15It's a garden sprayer, isn't it?
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Look, you hold that. I'll get my glasses out.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20And I'll pump that.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Marvellous. We can do a team effort.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Oh...
0:18:26 > 0:18:28- How's your French, girls? - Erm, un petit peu.- Not very good.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32Step aside, girls. Roscoe to the rescue.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34"Mode d'emploi."
0:18:34 > 0:18:38- Do you know what that means?- No. - Absolutely not.- How to use it.- Oh.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42And this is, "Whack your liquid in your pulveriser."
0:18:42 > 0:18:44"Numero deux...
0:18:44 > 0:18:47"Donnes trois au quatre coups de piston."
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- A coup de piston...- Three or four. - That's it, you've got it.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- Three or four pumps. - That is the coup de piston,
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- and you do trois au quatre. - Three or four.- That's three or four.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Ah-ha! Tres bon, Charlie, old boy. Tres bon.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Erm, and then put it back where you found it.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Thank you very much.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05You think it's a fire extinguisher?
0:19:05 > 0:19:06- Yeah.- Yeah.- Actually, perhaps it is.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- That's what I thought in the first place.- That's what I thought.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11I thought it was a garden spray.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- Right.- All we need is a tube to join that to that.- That to that.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15How much is it?
0:19:15 > 0:19:17- It's £60.- £60 on it.- £60.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22- Shall we get her to do it?- Off you go. Let's get her to do it.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23Off you go and do it.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- We'll wait here.- Do your thing, Rachel.- You go and do it.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- What's the best price you'll do on that?- Yeah.
0:19:28 > 0:19:33Work your magic, Rachel, while we rush off and rummage with the Reds.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- At the back of the bike. Yes. - Matchbox?- Yes, a little Vesta case.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Probably George V, 1910-1915.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41- OK.- If it was silver, yes. - Oh, it's not silver?- It's not silver.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45- I can tell it's plated by the nickel plate coming through.- OK.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Come on, Reds, some decisions - soon, please.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Now, Blues, time for a bit of teamwork to get this deal pumped up.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53I think it's a garden sprayer and they think it's a fire extinguisher.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- Who's right?- MAN: Garden sprayer. - Garden sprayer, hooray!
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Would you take 52, please?
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Look, we don't want to fiddle around with the twos.
0:20:01 > 0:20:02- What about a £50 note?- Yes.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04- Thank you very much. - Oh, that's wonderful.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Shake him by the hand, my darling.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10- Thank you so much. - Nous avons achete un vaporisateur.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12- Merci beaucoup. - Oh-ho-ho. In other words,
0:20:12 > 0:20:14you've bagged yourself a crop sprayer.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Bargain Hunt couldn't be any easier than with you, girls.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19- Thank you. - Let's go and have a cup of tea.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23Some superb shopping, team - with plenty of time left.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25The Blues are off to put their feet up,
0:20:25 > 0:20:28whilst the Reds are rushed off their feet.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30- I'm panicking, David. - I know, I know.
0:20:30 > 0:20:31What's in that case?
0:20:31 > 0:20:33- No way.- No, butter knives.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35That's ornamental. Yeah, very nice.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- Cup of tea?- Ten minutes left to drink those teas.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Right, come on, Carlos, time to take charge.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44- Now, look at the buttons down there. - Yeah.- And also, that little...
0:20:44 > 0:20:46What appears to be a kettle or...
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- Is it soapstone?- I think that's jade, actually. I think.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Right, you... Now, let's look at this one first. I quite like that.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54- What do you think? - I'm not drawn to it.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57It is jade, and the reason I quite like it, Katie, is because
0:20:57 > 0:21:01the market of jade amongst our Oriental collectors has gone wild.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03- Yes.- But this isn't very old,
0:21:03 > 0:21:06- but it's got, maybe, legs to run a bit.- Yeah, I like it.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08I wonder if there's just a little bit of damage there.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10- That bothers me about it. - Yeah, yeah.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12- I'm not drawn to it. - Well, you're going to have to
0:21:12 > 0:21:13make a decision soon, team.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- Don't spill it!- Now, it seems the only decision the Blues have
0:21:16 > 0:21:18is what topping they would like on their crepe.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Oh, my goodness. So, take it. Right.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23- Bon appetit, team. - Happy Bargain Hunting.- Mmm!
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Someone's looking rather pleased with themselves.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Right, Reds, three minutes left. What have you found?
0:21:27 > 0:21:31- Now, they're nice, aren't they?- Are they all the same or all different?
0:21:31 > 0:21:32No, they've got thistle
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- and shamrock and rose and... - They're nice, aren't they?- Yeah.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37They're also very much what I would call
0:21:37 > 0:21:38in the Arts and Crafts style.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42They're pierced with these foliate sprays
0:21:42 > 0:21:44and you can just make out some hallmarks.
0:21:44 > 0:21:45The maker, I don't know,
0:21:45 > 0:21:48but they're London. They're about 1916.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50I quite like them. Sir, what's the best price on them?
0:21:50 > 0:21:53The very best on those, I would do for £70
0:21:53 > 0:21:55- and that is the bottom line. - Yeah, look at me, 70.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- It's £70.- What do you think?
0:21:58 > 0:22:00I like them. I'm tempted to say let's go for it,
0:22:00 > 0:22:03because I'm curious to know what they'd get at auction.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04- Look at me.- I'm looking.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Are we going, going, gone? Cos literally, we've got a minute to go.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09- I'm hypnotised. I'm in.- Done.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11- Are we in?- We're in agreement. - We'll take them. Thanks a lot.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13- WHISTLE BLOWS - Time's up.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16I've never known an hour to go so quickly.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18- Frightening, isn't it?- Yes, it is.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Let's remind ourselves what those Reds bought.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26First up, the apothecary bottle and piece of treen set them back £50.
0:22:29 > 0:22:34Next, the musical bottle pourer hit the right note at £28.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39Finally, they buttoned up the buttons at £70 paid.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Nice nails.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Gosh, how do you rate that shop, then?
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Oh, well, it was a bit of panic at the end, but it was great fun.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Had momentum, I'd say.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52- It was a bit of a panic buy, but I think we got away with it.- We did.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56- Which is your favourite, Davido? - That musical pourer. Beautiful.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57Do you agree with that?
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Yes, I like it a lot as well,
0:22:59 > 0:23:01but I also like the silver buttons.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Are they going to bring the biggest profit?
0:23:03 > 0:23:06No, I think it'll be the musical wine pourer.
0:23:06 > 0:23:07Musical wine pourer?
0:23:07 > 0:23:09- I agree.- Super. So you spent how much?
0:23:09 > 0:23:14- We spent £148.- 148? I'd like £152 of leftover lolly.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17There's two and that is 150.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Jolly good. Well, Charlie, there you go. A small fortune.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22- It's no mean sum. - You can spend it all,
0:23:22 > 0:23:24but we want something really beautiful and profitable back.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- Don't let us down.- I won't. - No! As if he would!
0:23:27 > 0:23:28Anyway, thank you, Charlie.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Now, though, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought?
0:23:33 > 0:23:37First up, the jade Buddha pendant cost them £17.
0:23:38 > 0:23:44Next, they fell in love with the silver vesta, £43 paid.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Finally, their coppers couldn't resist
0:23:46 > 0:23:48copping a copper crop sprayer.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50They settled on £50. Try and say that quick.
0:23:51 > 0:23:56Well, I don't think I've ever seen two girls shop faster.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58- Are you proud?- Very proud. - How much did you spend?
0:23:58 > 0:24:01- £110. - That's nothing to be proud about.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Seriously, £110 is quite modest, isn't it?
0:24:04 > 0:24:07May I have the £190 of leftover lolly?
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Oh, you are magnificent. Oh, look, a 50.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Super. Now, which is your favourite piece?
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Probably the silver heart-shaped vesta case.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17- Cos you're romantic, right?- Yes. - Do you agree with that?
0:24:17 > 0:24:19I like the little jade Buddha.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Which piece is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:24:21 > 0:24:23I like to think the garden sprayer.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Do you agree that the sprayer's going to do it for you?
0:24:26 > 0:24:27Yeah, hopefully.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29What's all this about crepes?
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Charlie bought us a crepe and a cup of coffee
0:24:31 > 0:24:34- because we finished so early. - Did he treat you?- He did.- He did.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Gosh, must have dusted off the wallet!
0:24:37 > 0:24:40- Here's the dough.- Thank you. - That's a lot of dough, that.- It is.
0:24:40 > 0:24:41I'm going to spend over £100,
0:24:41 > 0:24:44something on one item that's going to knock these girls.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45Are you excited?
0:24:45 > 0:24:48- Very.- Oh, good. That's what we like - a bit of excitement.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Super. Anyway, settle down, everybody, because very shortly,
0:24:51 > 0:24:54we're going to be shuffling off to the exciting auction.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11Well, we've popped up to Surrey. Where are we in Surrey, Catherine?
0:25:11 > 0:25:13We are just outside Selsdon, Tim.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17In the heart of Surrey, in a very beautiful place on a golf course,
0:25:17 > 0:25:21which is where Catherine Southon Auctions are happening today.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23It's a thrill to be here, Catherine.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Thank you for coming, you're very welcome.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Lovely. Now, for the Red team, they've got a mixture.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31The apothecary fruitwood turned box is handsome
0:25:31 > 0:25:34and it contains that bottle and stopper.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36I love the treen case.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39The bottle - that stopper I don't think is right.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41I think originally it would have been a square stopper
0:25:41 > 0:25:43and it just doesn't fit.
0:25:43 > 0:25:44But worth what?
0:25:44 > 0:25:46- £30 to £50.- OK, they paid £50.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49I think you could be struggling to get to the money on that,
0:25:49 > 0:25:51personally, but good luck.
0:25:51 > 0:25:58Next is the novelty plated musical booze-pouring gadget,
0:25:58 > 0:26:00which is seriously weird, isn't it?
0:26:00 > 0:26:02I mean, it's fun, it's kitsch.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06What more can you say? Just as you pour the bottle, the music starts.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09- How much, then?- £10 to £20.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13OK, £28 paid and I bet you get there, actually, in the auction.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16The thing I'm feeling a bit dodgy about are these buttons.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Nice little set, but who wants them?
0:26:19 > 0:26:20Who's going to buy them?
0:26:20 > 0:26:22I think they'd do better in a box, don't you?
0:26:22 > 0:26:24It would be nice to have the box.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26- Otherwise, where do you put the things?- Yes.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29OK, so putting your best brave foot forward, Catherine,
0:26:29 > 0:26:31what's your estimate?
0:26:31 > 0:26:33I've been a bit mean, but 40 to 60.
0:26:33 > 0:26:34OK, £70 they paid.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37- That could be a problem. - That could be a bit of a problem.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39In which case, they're going to need their bonus buy,
0:26:39 > 0:26:41so let's go and have a look at it.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43- Now, team, well done.- Yeah.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47Look, you spent 148, you gave Charles Hanson £152.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Charles, what did you buy?
0:26:49 > 0:26:52I did go for it, because it's always good to go with a bang
0:26:52 > 0:26:54and to really milk a profit,
0:26:54 > 0:26:56if we can. Are you ready to milk hard?
0:26:56 > 0:26:59- Yeah...- Surprise me.- Look at that.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Interesting! Very interesting.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05The reason it caught my eye is because it's quite unusual
0:27:05 > 0:27:10and this lid is a cover of a certain substantial weight.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12- If you have that...- It's quality.
0:27:12 > 0:27:18- Can I?- London, 1929-made. Retailed but also made by Hemming & Co.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- Is it a butter dish?- I think so.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23The big burning question - how much did you pay?
0:27:23 > 0:27:25It was good value, have a guess.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29- 25-30.- It was really good value - it cost me £150.- It did not!
0:27:29 > 0:27:30Yes, it did!
0:27:30 > 0:27:33- Did it?- What?!- Yes, it did.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36- Is there 100...- I don't have to decide now, do I?- No, you don't.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39If you melt that down, is it worth...?
0:27:39 > 0:27:42I'm going to go to a darkened room now and have a think.
0:27:42 > 0:27:43The ultimate decision is yours,
0:27:43 > 0:27:45but right now, for the audience at home,
0:27:45 > 0:27:49let's find out whether Charles Hanson has been milking it or not.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Well, Catherine, there we go.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56An interesting mixture of oak and silver.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58I really love this.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01I think the milking scene is actually really nice.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05It's nicely done and it's quite fun as well.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07The only thing I'm thinking of is
0:28:07 > 0:28:11whether this base is actually right to go with it.
0:28:11 > 0:28:12It does fit really nicely.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14It fits really snug, but I'm thinking
0:28:14 > 0:28:18if it was a butter dish, wouldn't you have had a glass bottom?
0:28:18 > 0:28:19I think you're right.
0:28:19 > 0:28:24Also, this is so heavy and substantial and that's quite light.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26- I don't know.- I know what you mean.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Most of the time, this is repousse, it's embossed,
0:28:28 > 0:28:31but that isn't, it's cast silver and Hemming,
0:28:31 > 0:28:34as London retailers of luxury goods,
0:28:34 > 0:28:38were top-flight in Conduit Street in 1900.
0:28:38 > 0:28:39What's it worth?
0:28:39 > 0:28:41I've put 80 to 120 on it.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45Charles went completely bonkers and paid £150.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47In my view, he'll be lucky to make a profit on that.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50The team might be best advised not to go with it,
0:28:50 > 0:28:51but we can't advise them,
0:28:51 > 0:28:54they'll make their own choice and that's rather exciting.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Anyway, that's it for the Reds.
0:28:56 > 0:28:57Now for the Blues.
0:28:57 > 0:29:02Raquel and Glenda, their first item is the little jadeite pendant,
0:29:02 > 0:29:05which looks as if it came from Hong Kong last week.
0:29:05 > 0:29:06I'm afraid it does, Tim.
0:29:06 > 0:29:11It's a jadeite pendant, it's not particularly well carved or anything
0:29:11 > 0:29:13and it's worth not very much, £10 to £20.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Fair enough, they only paid £17.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17I mean, it's just a bit of fun, isn't it?
0:29:17 > 0:29:20If it came out of a cracker, so be it.
0:29:20 > 0:29:24Next and rather better, I have to say, is the heart-shaped vesta.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26Vesta cases - quite collectible,
0:29:26 > 0:29:29but when it's in the shape of a heart, it touches everyone.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33- That must be a mid-price range. How much?- 50 to 70.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35OK, the team only played £43.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38That's brilliant, cos I think that will do well.
0:29:38 > 0:29:43Now this curious object, this cylindrical pump-action spray gun,
0:29:43 > 0:29:44which is French, isn't it?
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Yes, it is. This is all in French here.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50We've got the maker's name on it, Muratori.
0:29:51 > 0:29:52A pump-action garden spray -
0:29:52 > 0:29:55wouldn't that look great in your orangery?
0:29:55 > 0:29:57- What do you think it's worth? - 40 to 60.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00OK, they paid £50, so it's neither here nor there, really,
0:30:00 > 0:30:02and it may take off, because it's the sort of thing
0:30:02 > 0:30:05that sometimes gets picked up on the internet, isn't it?
0:30:05 > 0:30:07I think it will get picked up on the internet.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09- I think people will be interested in it.- There you go.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12Good. On that basis, they won't need their bonus buy,
0:30:12 > 0:30:14but just in case the internet fails us,
0:30:14 > 0:30:16they might, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20Now, OK, girls, this is exciting.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24You spent £110, you gave £190 to C Ross
0:30:24 > 0:30:27and, C Ross, what did you buy?
0:30:27 > 0:30:29- I've gone quite big, girls.- Ooh.
0:30:29 > 0:30:33Gone quite big, spent a fair proportion of your money,
0:30:33 > 0:30:36on this wonderful object.
0:30:36 > 0:30:37- Oh!- Ooh!
0:30:38 > 0:30:40- Do you like it?- Erm...
0:30:40 > 0:30:43Unusual. Is it a clock case?
0:30:43 > 0:30:44Yes, I think it is a clock case.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47It's certainly not a biscuit barrel, is it?
0:30:48 > 0:30:52It's a clock case. It's Victorian, extremely ornate.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56It is in superb condition, with this wonderful foliate decoration.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00I'm not 100% convinced that the finial on top is right,
0:31:00 > 0:31:02but I think it sits there quite well
0:31:02 > 0:31:05and if you don't like it, you can take it off.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07It cost £130.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10- Ooh!- Ooh!- Ooh!
0:31:10 > 0:31:12But I thought I'd take a gamble.
0:31:12 > 0:31:13Feels nice, though.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15- Are you warming to it, Rachel? - I quite like it.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18- I don't like it. - You don't like it?- I do.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21- Thank you very much.- OK, we've got a bit of a split decision,
0:31:21 > 0:31:22but the thing is,
0:31:22 > 0:31:25have we really asked Charlie...
0:31:25 > 0:31:28- the question?- How much do you think we're going to make?
0:31:28 > 0:31:30I think it's going to make £150.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32OK, fine. You watched his lips,
0:31:32 > 0:31:33you heard what he said.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36Right now, let's check it out with the auctioneer,
0:31:36 > 0:31:39at least for the benefit of the audience at home.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43That's pretty flash, isn't it?
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Very attractive, actually. Very ornate, isn't it?
0:31:45 > 0:31:47A lot of scrollwork.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50The only thing I'm not so sure about is this little finial here.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52I think this has been an afterthought.
0:31:52 > 0:31:57- Yes.- Nevertheless, the case itself is lovely, 1876 in date.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01- It's very Charlie Ross, don't you think?- Oh, yes.- Very boudoir.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05OK, now, what's it worth, Catherine?
0:32:05 > 0:32:07We thought probably about 80 to 120.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Which is a good auctioneer's guide price,
0:32:10 > 0:32:14because Rossco paid £130 for it,
0:32:14 > 0:32:17so he paid a good price. But might make a small profit, yes?
0:32:17 > 0:32:19Might get there.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22To your luxury-induced Surrey crowd today.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25- Yes.- Yes, thank you, Catherine.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29Right, Catherine, get your gavelling gear
0:32:29 > 0:32:30and get those goods going, going gone.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32- CATHERINE:- I've never bid this low, £50.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35- David, Katie, excited?- Yes.- Yes!
0:32:35 > 0:32:39- You are?- Yes.- How excited, Katie?- About this much!
0:32:39 > 0:32:41Really? And you're in the entertainment business.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45Right, first, the apothecary's box and here it comes.
0:32:45 > 0:32:51Lot 68, we have a late 19th century treen case, glass apothecary bottle
0:32:51 > 0:32:54and stopper. £30, please.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56£30 I'm looking for.
0:32:56 > 0:32:57Any interest at 30?
0:32:57 > 0:32:59Come on, Miss Auctioneer! No!
0:32:59 > 0:33:02Please, £30.

0:33:49 > 0:33:53Well, certainly unusual novelty 1950s
0:33:53 > 0:33:56chrome-plated musical bottle pourer.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58It's a bit of fun.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02Every home, bar, should have one of these.
0:34:02 > 0:34:03Quirky, it's novel.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07- As you pour, the music plays. - Quite right.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09We don't know what the tune is, we don't care.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11When you've had a few, it doesn't matter.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13Who's going to give me £10? Come on.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15- £10, thank you.- Thumbs up.

0:34:45 > 0:34:47so we want a lot of money for these.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50We want £40. Who's going to give us 40?

0:35:31 > 0:35:33Take a bow, well done.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35You have a profit on each object,
0:35:35 > 0:35:38so what are we going to do about this box, the old milker?
0:35:38 > 0:35:41I'm sorry. I like you,
0:35:41 > 0:35:43I like you a lot, but not that much!
0:35:43 > 0:35:45The decision's made, you're not going with it,
0:35:45 > 0:35:47you're banking your £32.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Nobody's going to take that away from you,

0:41:25 > 0:41:27and it's no secret if I reveal
0:41:27 > 0:41:30that both teams are going home with profits today.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32THEY EXCLAIM

0:42:01 > 0:42:04to share with your old mate Glenda.
0:42:04 > 0:42:05How about that?
0:42:05 > 0:42:08Normally, that would be enough to wipe the slate on Bargain Hunt,
0:42:08 > 0:42:11but not today, not with these fiendish Reds!
0:42:11 > 0:42:15They managed to get £32 in the way of profit.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18- THEY CHEER - Here is your £30 and your £2.
0:42:18 > 0:42:22- And my- £2! You very sensibly didn't go with the bonus buy.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25- Doesn't matter! - That was your smartest move.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28But you did get a profit on all three of your items,
0:42:28 > 0:42:33which entitles you to join one of the most exclusive clubs in Britain,
0:42:33 > 0:42:35which is the Order of the Golden Gavel.

0:42:47 > 0:42:49- What about you, Davido? - Tim, this is what I came for.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52Charles, well done, congratulations. Something for your collection.
0:42:52 > 0:42:56- Couldn't have done it without you. Well done.- Well done.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59Barely did it with him! No, I didn't say that!
