0:00:02 > 0:00:04# You've got to fly
0:00:04 > 0:00:08# You've got to fly
0:00:08 > 0:00:11# You've got to fly
0:00:11 > 0:00:14# You've got to fly... #
0:00:14 > 0:00:17We're at the Newark antiques fair today, although you can hardly
0:00:17 > 0:00:21believe it with all these things around and about.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24That's because I've popped across the road from the county showground
0:00:24 > 0:00:26to the Newark Air Museum
0:00:26 > 0:00:30to have a gander at some of these fascinating old crates.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34The big question is today, will our teams be able to take off
0:00:34 > 0:00:36and make a massive profit, because...
0:00:36 > 0:00:40let's go Bargain Hunting! Yeah!
0:01:02 > 0:01:05We've landed at the largest antiques fair in Europe
0:01:05 > 0:01:08and, with over 2,000 stalls to peruse, our Red and Blue teams
0:01:08 > 0:01:13are sure to fly away with a fair few finds from here today.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16So, let's take a sneaky peek at what's coming up.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Today, it's a game of two halves.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- The Red team are pinching the pennies.- It's a fiver.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Oh, can you go even cheaper?
0:01:25 > 0:01:28While the Blue team are spending big.
0:01:28 > 0:01:29You have to pay for quality.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32We said quality all the way down the line, so...
0:01:32 > 0:01:35But whose tactics will pay off at auction?
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Come on! No, more, more.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40- Five, 60.- Ooh!
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- It's going up.- It's going in the right direction.- Come on!
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Let's meet today's teams.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51Well, we've got two married couples with us today.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53They must really love each other, because not only do
0:01:53 > 0:01:56they live together, but they also work together.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59For the Reds, we've got Lynne and Patrick.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- And for the Blues, Andy and Kay. Hello, everyone.- ALL: Hello!
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Hello, hello, hello.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Now, you're a creative sort, Lynne.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09That is one way to describe me, yes.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13We run a production company, and it covers lots of things.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15So we do film, theatre.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18A bit of panto. We do a panto over Christmas.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22- Studio tours.- Very exciting. - Lots of exciting stuff, Tim.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25And is it your passion for performing that brought you
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- together?- It kind of is. We met doing a pantomime.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Oh, no, you didn't.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- Oh, yes, we did.- Brilliant. - PATRICK LAUGHS
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Now, tell us about some of your other many talents, Lynne.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- I can do the splits, that's exciting.- Full-on splits?- Yes.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44- Well, I teach dance, you see.- Oh, I see. Then you're very flexible.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46I can play the recorder through my nostrils.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50- Can you? Have you got one with you? - I don't, sorry.- Oh, drat it!
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Now, Patrick, when you were a nipper and you went off to
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Cornwall on your holidays, you had an embarrassing moment, didn't you?
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Um, yes.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01At the time, it was fashionable to wear trunks that were really big, long and baggy.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04I was out there swimming in the big waves,
0:03:04 > 0:03:07and they pulled my trunks down. So I thought, "Oh, dear!"
0:03:07 > 0:03:10And I was ducking under the water to try and get my trunks back on.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13And as I was bobbing up and down under the water, my mum went,
0:03:13 > 0:03:16"Oh, my God, my little boy is drowning! Quick, quick!"
0:03:16 > 0:03:20And this big, burly guy comes swimming out to get me.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22He managed to drag me up onto the beach.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26I was stood there with my trunks in front of my private parts, with
0:03:26 > 0:03:29two teenage girls laughing at me.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31So, as you can imagine, wasn't best pleased with my mum.
0:03:31 > 0:03:36Anyway, so we don't want any of this naked behaviour today from you.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38So, what sort of strategy have you got, you two?
0:03:38 > 0:03:41We'd like to spend a low amount.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43- Do you?- We're going to spend as little as possible.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46We're going to try and get each item for under a tenner.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48That way we can't lose much.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Whatever happens, whatever you spend, we are going to have fun.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53- We want to have a nice time. - Exactly.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57- And we want you to have a nice time. Anyway, good luck. Lovely story. - Thank you, Tim.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00OK, now, moving on. Andy, you've not lost your trunks recently, have you?
0:04:00 > 0:04:04I haven't, no. Fortunately I've never had an embarrassing...
0:04:04 > 0:04:06- Moment like that. That's a shocker, isn't it?- It is.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10But the two of you work together in an unusual business, don't you?
0:04:10 > 0:04:14- Well, it's unusual to some people. - Yes.- Not everybody does it.
0:04:14 > 0:04:19We take in people's dogs, we board them, we walk them for them
0:04:19 > 0:04:23- and generally take care of them. - How many do you get normally, then?
0:04:23 > 0:04:27- We do about seven.- Seven?- Because of the car size that we've got.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30And how long do they have to get walked for everyday?
0:04:30 > 0:04:33We go out, on a morning, generally for an hour and a half
0:04:33 > 0:04:35and then same again in the afternoon.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- What, with all seven at the same time?- Yes.- That's a pack, isn't it?
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Yeah. And with them being a pack, they like... They stay together.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46- I don't have any on a lead. We all walk together.- Do you not?- No.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50- Do you not? All off the lead?- Yeah. - And how long have you been doing this for?
0:04:50 > 0:04:52- Just over two years now. - Lovely stuff.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Andy, what do you do when you're not busy with the dogs?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Well, I'm a budding novelist,
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Tim, I've just finished polishing up my first-ever novel.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04They do say that a person's first novel is largely
0:05:04 > 0:05:08autobiographical, but in mine a chap shoots his mother,
0:05:08 > 0:05:11fatally injuring her, on a railway platform in broad daylight.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15- God, that sounds good. - I didn't actually do that.- No, quite.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- And what is the title?- It is called Perceptions.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21The police think they have an open-and-shut case, but...
0:05:21 > 0:05:25spanners do get thrown into the works, as you can imagine.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Oh, this is sounding more and more intriguing.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31I think you'll do very well with this. I'm liking the sound of this.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34And what sort of things will you be looking out for
0:05:34 > 0:05:35on Bargain Hunt today?
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Animal-related items.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- Animal-related stuff, I think. - That would be a dog or two.- Yeah.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42- Definitely a dog or two. - THEY LAUGH
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Now, the money moment. Your £300.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Here you go, £300 apiece. You know the rules, your experts await.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52And off you go, and very, very, very good luck.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Gosh, what fun.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59Of course, today's vivacious teams need two vibrant experts.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Mixing things up with the Reds, it's Catherine Southon.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Ship ahoy! Keeping an eye out for bargains for the Blues
0:06:08 > 0:06:10is Richard Madley.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- So what are we going to buy, Patrick?- We are going to buy...
0:06:19 > 0:06:23- Cheap is our plan.- Cheap! - Really cheap.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- Have you come with a strategy? - I have.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28OK. And what is that strategy?
0:06:28 > 0:06:30My strategy is animals.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33If it's under a tenner, then you've got a good chance of profit.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36And even if not profit, you're not going to lose much.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38"Everything on this table £1."
0:06:38 > 0:06:42- Right, teams, your 60 minutes starts now.- I've got a good vibe.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- It's going to be good.- It's going to be good. Come on, then.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48While the cheapskate Reds head straight to the pound store,
0:06:48 > 0:06:50the Blues are having doubts.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54I'm not so sure that we're going to find three specific animal things
0:06:54 > 0:06:58within the hour. I don't want us to be short on time.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00OK. So the strategy, which has now gone out the window...
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- Richard's certainly got his work cut out here.- What's this here?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05It looks collectable.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08While the Reds have homed straight in on their first bargain.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- How much is the Stylophone? - STALLHOLDER:- Stylophone is 12.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- OK.- I kind of like it.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17I do, but I don't want to spend more than £10.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Catherine is not convinced.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22I mean, I like 20th-century collectables,
0:07:22 > 0:07:26- but...- But you don't like that? - I don't like that, no.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- Does it work? STALLHOLDER:- It did work, yes, but somebody left it on...
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- But it is working?- Oh, yes.- How much did he say?
0:07:32 > 0:07:34He said 12, and then he said we could have it for ten.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36I think that's still too much.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38These two really are pinching the pennies.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- What's the cheapest you could do it for?- It's got to be eight.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44The ticket price was 12, so eight's a good deal.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45Would you do seven?
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- STALLHOLDER:- Eight.- Eight.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- I like it, I like it.- He's so excited about it, he really is.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54I'm happy with eight. I like retro...
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- You're excited.- I am excited, I like it.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00- I'm getting the excitement, I'm getting into it.- You know, people...
0:08:00 > 0:08:04- Do you remember it?- Yes, I remember these things. It makes you happy.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07People of my age look at it and go, "Aw!
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- "It reminds me of my childhood."- So we're buying into the memory, yes?
0:08:11 > 0:08:15- Yes.- That's what... Aw! We're getting a bit sentimental.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- So are we definitely having it? - Yes.- OK.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20A mere £8 for your first item.
0:08:20 > 0:08:21This lot might be having a laugh.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Ha! But Catherine's not finding it quite so funny.
0:08:26 > 0:08:27That's how I feel,
0:08:27 > 0:08:30with that knife going through my head, after you've bought that.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33- Look at it!- It's a dreadful thing!
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Oh! Now what have you found?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- You're not serious!- No. No, I don't want that.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44While Catherine has a headache with the Reds,
0:08:44 > 0:08:47- the Blues are still in search of their first item.- Richard.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Richard, we like the budgerigar.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53I can see why. I can quite see why.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Yes, indeed.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56I think you've got great taste,
0:08:56 > 0:09:00I think you've got great taste, and it's a very good one to open with.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02What sort of age do you think it is, Richard?
0:09:02 > 0:09:06I would guess that's probably from the 1920s.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Well, yeah, let's have a look at it, shall we?
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- Has it got a price on it?- Have you got a price for this?- STALLHOLDER: - 300.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20- 300.- Oh, I think it was a good shout, and a very good opening bid,
0:09:20 > 0:09:23but I think perhaps to blow our entire budget on the first item
0:09:23 > 0:09:27would probably be against the guidelines of the game,
0:09:27 > 0:09:30so I think we'll probably put that one back.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Definitely not budget budgies, Blues.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35But on the opposite side of the scale,
0:09:35 > 0:09:39it's the thrifty Reds. I think I can hear Catherine's despair.
0:09:39 > 0:09:44- Oh, gosh! Are you going to look around here as well?- Yes.- Oh!
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- OK. OK.- I like this.- What?
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- Oh, that looks like something Catherine will hate.- Oh, no.
0:09:50 > 0:09:51HE LAUGHS
0:09:51 > 0:09:55- Is that something you would suitably hate?- What is it, a baseball glove?
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- Baseball, yes.- It is nice, though, isn't it?
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- I think it's cool. - What would you do with it, though?
0:10:00 > 0:10:02I think, if you're into baseball...
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Would you not just have it as an ornament?
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- Not very ornamental, though, is it?- I don't know.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11If placed in an aesthetically pleasing...
0:10:11 > 0:10:15I think we've got a limited market, a bit like our wonderful Stylophone,
0:10:15 > 0:10:17so we're quite good at limiting markets.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20But then this is all leather, and we've got a signature in here.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23This could be just any old person,
0:10:23 > 0:10:25or it could be the top...
0:10:25 > 0:10:27- It could...- Let's get imaginative here.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31- This could be the top, top baseball player.- It's Babe Ruth, that's what it is.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35- Yes.- It definitely is.- I like it. - In which case, thousands.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37I think you're clutching at straws now, Catherine.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40I shouldn't think it's very expensive. How much is it?
0:10:40 > 0:10:42- How much is it, sir?- It's a fiver.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48- Oh, can you go even cheaper? - No, sorry.- No. £4.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- What about £4?- That's a fiver of anyone's money.- Yeah.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53They certainly like to haggle, those Reds.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57- Do we go for it?- Do we go for it? - Yes, let's just do it.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- Yes.- Let's just do it.- Yes.- Yes. - Yes.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02I'm happier with that.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Well, you may be penny-pinchers, but you're also decisive, Reds.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10That's your second item bought in the first 15 minutes. Well done.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14Now, I think the dog-walking Blues have a lead on their first item.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Richard, would you look at this?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18What do you think to this little French bulldog?
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Austrian, cold-painted, Viennese bronze figures.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24- A sleeping bulldog.- Yeah.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26- I think it's rather nice.- I do. I do, I really like it.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Andy, do you like the bulldog?
0:11:29 > 0:11:32I think it is good quality, but I'm very,
0:11:32 > 0:11:34very concerned about the price.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Well, let's leave the price for one moment,
0:11:37 > 0:11:41let's focus on Kay's most important aspect of quality.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44So it would have been made in Austria, possibly Vienna.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46At the end of the 19th century.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49I'm hoping underneath it might be marked,
0:11:49 > 0:11:51because these things are very collectable.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- Shall we have a look at it? - Yes, please.- OK, let's have a look.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- Well, there he is. Cute little fellow, isn't he?- He is.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Get the old eyeglass out.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06And, yes, indeed, it is stamped.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10It could well be the maker's mark of Bergman.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12- A good-quality maker.- OK.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16- Have a little feel of the fellow. I think he...- It feels nice.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18He's got a nice weight to him, hasn't he?
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Nice condition, original paint.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24- Yes. I know you don't like it, but I really like it.- I do like it.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27I just think that it's very, very expensive.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Yes, but quality, you have to pay for quality.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32We said quality all the way down the line, so...
0:12:32 > 0:12:36Would it help, do you think, if we just park the asking price to
0:12:36 > 0:12:38- one side and find out... - Well, let's find out.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42- ..what the friendly price might be? Shall I do that?- Yes.- OK.
0:12:42 > 0:12:43Let's do that.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Will this little doggie find a new home?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Or will he be left in the doghouse?
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Well, I've spoken to the dealer.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54He's happy to give us a discount. The price is £140.
0:12:54 > 0:12:55What do you think?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58I think it's over the top, but we did say you get one choice,
0:12:58 > 0:13:02I get a choice, and then we make a joint decision,
0:13:02 > 0:13:05and so...I'm going to allow you to throw the money away.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Thank you.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08THEY LAUGH
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Well done, Blues, nice to see a team
0:13:11 > 0:13:14who look for quality in this game.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Unlike the Reds, who are still taking Catherine for a ride.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- What have you found now?- That little tortoise, which is a lamp.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- Oh, no, that's horrid. - I was looking at the toy.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28I don't think sort of something like that, to be honest.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30- Look...- Oh, no, you can't buy that!
0:13:30 > 0:13:32He's got all of his stuffing coming out!
0:13:32 > 0:13:36- That man said about that camel... - Where is the camel?- Over there.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Oh, God, no! Shall we move on? Come on.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41While the Reds fail to impress Catherine,
0:13:41 > 0:13:44the Blues are having a slight disagreement.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46- If you can see beyond... - It's not my style.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49..see beyond the volume here, and maybe look at seeing that
0:13:49 > 0:13:52presented as a single lot in an auction room...
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- No, you can't convince me, Richard. I don't like them.- You don't like them.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58If you don't like them, then we've got to move on, then,
0:13:58 > 0:13:59let's keep going.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02While the teams continue to shop outside, it's time for me
0:14:02 > 0:14:04to brush up on the antiques indoors.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Do you know what this is?
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Well, it's got an oddball handle, I can tell you.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Made of horn.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22And once upon a time this brass body
0:14:22 > 0:14:24was covered in silver plate.
0:14:24 > 0:14:29Because this thing would have been used in smart dining rooms.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Inside it contains a brush.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35And, yes, you've got it,
0:14:35 > 0:14:39this is the most desirable of desirable objects
0:14:39 > 0:14:41for a Pooter type residence.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44This is a crumb scoop.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47But a crumb scoop that collects crumbs,
0:14:47 > 0:14:50on the curve, with a brush,
0:14:50 > 0:14:54that's tapered to fit the crumb collecting corner,
0:14:54 > 0:14:56which is this metal piece.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59And once you've drawn it across the table
0:14:59 > 0:15:03and collected your irritating crumbs, they gather inside
0:15:03 > 0:15:07the reservoir, and then you simply shake out the crumbs like that.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Fun, isn't it? Well, it's also patented.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14It says, "YS & Co...
0:15:14 > 0:15:17patent, made in England."
0:15:17 > 0:15:20So, likely to be made after 1892, which is
0:15:20 > 0:15:24when the act came in that required
0:15:24 > 0:15:28the registration of the country of origin on all manufactured products.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32And I would date this thing, probably, at about 1900.
0:15:32 > 0:15:37And, of course, people do collect domestic rarities.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41What might they pay for an unusual horn-handled
0:15:41 > 0:15:43crumb scoop like this?
0:15:43 > 0:15:47Well, here in Newark, it's only valued at £20,
0:15:47 > 0:15:49which is...
0:15:49 > 0:15:52pretty crummy, really.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56Back to the shopping, and it's 2-1 to the Reds at half-time.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00Over with the Blues, and it's time for a quick team talk about an item Andy spotted earlier.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02He's got a pig.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04That little piggy you saw...
0:16:04 > 0:16:06There are actually two little piggies in the cabinet.
0:16:06 > 0:16:11They're both Victorian brass vesta cases.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Originally marked up at £60 and £75,
0:16:14 > 0:16:17but Richard has struck up a better deal.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19- One of them is 45.- Right.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22And the other is 50. Should we go and have a look?
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- We'll go have a look. - Come on, there we go. Back in again.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Shall I open it up? Here we go.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- Are you going to get the flat pig out, then?- Can you reach that?
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Let's put the lid down there. OK, there he is.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37I think the flat one... The flat ones are rarer.
0:16:37 > 0:16:42The full pigs are more normal, but the flatter one,
0:16:42 > 0:16:46- VESTA CLICKS - with a hinge... Nice click! Did you hear the click?- Yes.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50That click is a very good sound. You thought it was a cigarette lighter.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52They are the forerunners of the cigarette lighter, ie,
0:16:52 > 0:16:54a vesta case or a match safe.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58Probably late Victorian, maybe early Edwardian.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- It is a novelty, collector's piece. - What do you think?
0:17:01 > 0:17:04I like it, but could we have a look at the other one?
0:17:04 > 0:17:08- Because I need to compare them. - OK.- Let's have them both out.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Let's put them side-by-side.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Two of them together. Put them side-by-side.
0:17:14 > 0:17:15- You compare them.- Let's see.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19I think that's just got nicer features. I think it's cuter.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23- And, for me, it's more appealing. - I'll go with you on that.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26I think this one looks a much more appealing pig.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30What's the hinge like on that one, Andy? Is there a good, crisp hinge?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- Yeah, and it snaps.- No splits?
0:17:33 > 0:17:36- Now, we've got to think in terms of the market here.- Yeah.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40This little piggy appeals to you. This little piggy would
0:17:40 > 0:17:42probably appeal to a collector's market.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46- Right.- Because, being flatter, it is rarer.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48But it's your choice.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51I think we should go with your expertise,
0:17:51 > 0:17:54and if that is the case, we'll go with this one, then.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56And he's also £5 cheaper, Andy, so that's good.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00- That's really got to be good. - That warms my heart.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- Excellent, good. So one flat little pig, yes?- Yes.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- Sold.- Sold!- Excellent.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09This little piggy went to market and was bought for £45.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Well done, Blues.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14How is this animal theme working out then, Richard?
0:18:14 > 0:18:17We set off looking for dogs, horses,
0:18:17 > 0:18:19cats or frogs, and we have
0:18:19 > 0:18:22found a dog and we found a pig,
0:18:22 > 0:18:25so pretty good to get two out of three.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29Back to the Reds, and could there be a silver lining for Catherine?
0:18:29 > 0:18:32It's quite light. It's probably a little pin tray or something.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36It's silver, it's got the... The hallmark's quite nice and clear.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42- And the decoration's quite nice. - I mean, it's not my thing.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45- I know it's not your thing. - I just don't know.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- It doesn't do anything for me. - It doesn't do anything for me, but...
0:18:48 > 0:18:51we want to win, is our main thing.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- If it's going to make a profit, then...- Should we have a little look?
0:18:54 > 0:18:56- Do you want to have a look? - We could come back for this.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- Thanks for showing us that. - Thank you. We may come back. - Thank you so much.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02It's because we're rubbish and we don't know anything.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05So close, Catherine, so close.
0:19:05 > 0:19:06I just don't get them.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08I wish they'd bought that silver dish
0:19:08 > 0:19:11because I can see a profit in that, so who knows?
0:19:11 > 0:19:13They are driving me to despair.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16And Catherine is not the only expert in a spot of bother.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20I'm a little bit worried, I've lost my team.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Andy!
0:19:23 > 0:19:24Kay!
0:19:24 > 0:19:26I've got the Green team and the Red team,
0:19:26 > 0:19:29but I'm looking for the Blue team.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32I've got no idea where they've gone, the clock is ticking,
0:19:32 > 0:19:35I don't think they realise that time is not on our side.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37It certainly is not, Richard. Tick, tock.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Speaking of which, time check, please, Catherine.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44We've got about 15 minutes, so we're needing to move.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47I think we're going to struggle in here,
0:19:47 > 0:19:49because there are a lot of things here that look quite expensive.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- And you don't want to spend... - I really like them.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54- Have you got anything for a tenner? - You're struggling for...
0:19:54 > 0:19:57I mean, OK, look, here, you could have that for a tenner,
0:19:57 > 0:20:01but that is £12, £10. But I'm telling you now, you won't get...
0:20:01 > 0:20:03No, we won't get anything from that.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05As the Reds put the squeeze on the dealer,
0:20:05 > 0:20:08it looks like Richard is about to be reunited with his team.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- Where have you been?- Looking for bargains.- You're looking for bargains.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14- The clock's been ticking, what have you bought?- Nothing.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18- Not without you.- We didn't want to buy anything without you there.- Andy!
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Time is not on our side now. We've lost time,
0:20:21 > 0:20:25so we've got to make a decision to buy one item that is of quality,
0:20:25 > 0:20:29that we think we can sell, or we'll go back for the boxing hares.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31- Agreed?- Yes, agreed.- OK.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Hang on a minute, Kay, didn't you refuse that one earlier?
0:20:34 > 0:20:36You can't convince me, Richard. I don't like them.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38You don't like them.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42Mmm, I suppose she must have changed her mind, then.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44The Reds have successfully squeezed the pennies and the farthings
0:20:44 > 0:20:47out of the dealer.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Penny-farthing. Be told.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54- Ah!- I quite like that. It looks kind of Arts and Craft, doesn't it?
0:20:54 > 0:20:58- Do you think we could genuinely... - No. It's not Arts and Crafts.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02- No, but I actually like it. I like the fact... STALLHOLDER: - Penny-farthing.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Penny-farthing, yes. Someone has thought about that.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08- It's a cool, quirky little item. - Would it sell?
0:21:08 > 0:21:11- You might get lucky and get 15... - I think someone might like it.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15- ..at a push.- STALLHOLDER: - It's eclectically quirky.- Yes.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18I mean, it's either the silver dish or this.
0:21:18 > 0:21:23- That's more me than the silver dish. - Yes, happy?- I like it.- Happy?- Yes.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26- Yeah?- Yes, definitely.- OK. Thank you, sir, we will shake your hand.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- Thank you, and we'll go for that. - Great to see you.- And you.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31So that's your final item, Reds.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34But something's not quite adding up here, is it, Catherine?
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Did that really just happen?
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Did we really just spend £10
0:21:40 > 0:21:43on that penny-farthing which was just, probably,
0:21:43 > 0:21:45handmade yesterday?
0:21:46 > 0:21:48It was... That's really awful.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49Catherine is confused
0:21:49 > 0:21:51by the whole idea of spending
0:21:51 > 0:21:54less than £10, regardless.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Run up here, I think we will run over...
0:21:57 > 0:21:58While the Reds have finished the shop,
0:21:58 > 0:22:01the Blues are running wild for Richard's hares.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04- Come on, team, you have two minutes to go.- Is this the one here?
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Just... Hang on a second.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Oh! Andy's found something better.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09What have you seen now?
0:22:09 > 0:22:11- A stick.- Yes.- Yes.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Silver, I think.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Silver-topped walking cane.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Well, it's been well-used...
0:22:17 > 0:22:20- It has.- ..and it's got the maker's mark.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Looks like it was made in Chester.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24- Yes.- Chester.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28Probably the early part of the...20th century.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32I think that's in good shape. What's it marked at?
0:22:32 > 0:22:35- He's asking £58 for it.- £58?
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Now, would you prefer to go for this
0:22:37 > 0:22:39or for the reproduction painted animals?
0:22:39 > 0:22:43It's a quality thing, rather than going for the, er...
0:22:43 > 0:22:44modern mass-produced stuff.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47- That's a proper...- That's it, we'll go for that.- ..antique.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Proper antique. It's a proper antique.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51You spotted it...
0:22:51 > 0:22:54- You like it, don't you?- Yes. - Yes, I do.- Excellent.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Well, I think, if that's the case,
0:22:56 > 0:22:58- let me go and see what we can get it for, shall I?- Thank you.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Come on, Richard. You're almost out of time.
0:23:01 > 0:23:0458 is the ticket price, the owner says he'll give you
0:23:04 > 0:23:06- an £8 discount. It's £50.- Excellent.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08- Shall we go for it?- Yes, yes.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10- I think we should.- Excellent. We've got a deal.- OK.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- Thank you, sold. - WHISTLE
0:23:13 > 0:23:14- Time's up!- ALL: Yeah!
0:23:14 > 0:23:16We did it, we did it...
0:23:16 > 0:23:19- with seconds to spare!- Literally.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22You're now the proud owner of a substantial
0:23:22 > 0:23:24malacca-shafted walking cane.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Let's go for a walk.
0:23:26 > 0:23:27HE HUMS
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- That rather suits you, you've got the pose, there.- Thank you.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Hopefully you can walk away with a profit, Blues.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Let's check out what the Red team brought, eh?
0:23:35 > 0:23:38First up was this musical Stylophone,
0:23:38 > 0:23:39just £8 was spent on this one.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45They prised five whole pounds
0:23:45 > 0:23:47from their hands
0:23:47 > 0:23:49for this Rawlings baseball glove.
0:23:49 > 0:23:50And Catherine's favourite,
0:23:50 > 0:23:53£10 splurged on this penny-farthing bicycle,
0:23:53 > 0:23:55fashioned out of a penny and a farthing, no less.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Oh, dear.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Right, you horrible lot, how much was it that you spent?
0:23:59 > 0:24:01We spent a whole £23.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05OK, you spent £23 on the three items, very good.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08I'd like £277 of leftover lolly, please.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10- There you go, Tim.- Very good.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12All of which goes over to Catherine
0:24:12 > 0:24:15and I sincerely hope, Catherine, that you spend the lot.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17You should spend the whole lot.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Anyway, you've got tons there. Got a plan?
0:24:19 > 0:24:21- It's going to be quality, Tim. - Is it?- Yes.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23THEY LAUGH
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Because I don't think we've fulfilled that so far.
0:24:26 > 0:24:27No.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29It hasn't been good, Tim, I'm afraid.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32She actually didn't need to say anything at all.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34We could tell by the look on her face, bless her,
0:24:34 > 0:24:36that she was displeased.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38That's fine, that's the strategy.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41You're fulfilling your quest.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43As they say, it is a free country.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Meanwhile, though, why don't we check out
0:24:45 > 0:24:48what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:24:48 > 0:24:50The big spenders of the shop spent £140
0:24:50 > 0:24:54on this cold-painted bronze French bulldog.
0:24:54 > 0:24:55Sticking with the animal theme,
0:24:55 > 0:24:58they spent £45 on this little piggy brass vesta case.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03And they walked off with this Victorian silver-topped cane
0:25:03 > 0:25:04for £50.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Well, well, well.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11- Fancy you getting lost like that. - I know.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13- Yeah, we drifted off. - Well, we did find him eventually.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15- I know, keeps him on his toes. - It does.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Now, tell me, which is your favourite piece?
0:25:17 > 0:25:21My favourite piece is the little cold...bronze...painted
0:25:21 > 0:25:23French bulldog.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26- It's all animals with you, isn't it? - It is, it is.- Certainly is.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29And do you agree with that? Favourite, favourite?
0:25:29 > 0:25:31I'm afraid it pains me to do so,
0:25:31 > 0:25:34- but I do have to agree with Kay that that is...- That's all right.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37- How many years have you two been married?- 32.- Three.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39And we've never agreed previously, have we?
0:25:39 > 0:25:41TIM CHUCKLES
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Let this be a record on Bargain Hunt, then. Brilliant.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45So, having agreed on what's the favourite thing,
0:25:45 > 0:25:48can you agree on what's going to bring the biggest profit?
0:25:48 > 0:25:50I think it will be the dog.
0:25:50 > 0:25:51Right.
0:25:51 > 0:25:56I have a feeling that the vesta case might actually bring the greatest profit,
0:25:56 > 0:25:59given the evident rareness or rarity of it.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02All right, brilliant. How much did you spend in total?
0:26:02 > 0:26:04- We spent £235.- £235.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07I would like £65 of leftover lolly.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09- There you are, Tim.- Thank you very much. That's very kind.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Slightly lean pickings, Ricardo, but I expect you'll crack it.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Well, I almost lost my team this morning,
0:26:15 > 0:26:18so I'm determined not to lose them any money on the bonus buy.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21- Yes, and don't lose your bottle either.- I'll try not to.
0:26:21 > 0:26:22Very good luck, old fruit.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Meanwhile, we're going to shove off to the auction.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31And today we are at Hansons Auctioneers in Derbyshire.
0:26:33 > 0:26:38Well, Charles, it's lovely to be in your heaving Hansons saleroom.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40How do you see things? Buoyant?
0:26:40 > 0:26:44Tim, we're busy, we're buoyant and I'm surprised at these items!
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Well, because they're so cheap and of such insignificant quality?
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Well, I suppose it's taking collectables to a new level,
0:26:50 > 0:26:53but on that very lower level of value.
0:26:53 > 0:26:54Having said that,
0:26:54 > 0:26:59bearing in mind that they are in the very lowest of the low level,
0:26:59 > 0:27:01this little chap, actually...
0:27:01 > 0:27:03One's being sniffy about that,
0:27:03 > 0:27:08but it is quite interesting as a piece of electronics from the 1960s.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10- DATED BEEP - It is a survivor.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12It's got its bit of polystyrene packaging.
0:27:12 > 0:27:13These were all the rage, Tim.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16- By 1985, three million had been sold.- No!
0:27:16 > 0:27:17- Three million had been sold.- Really?
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Brian Jarvis invented this in '67
0:27:20 > 0:27:24and it became iconic amongst children of that time.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26OK, so how much?
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Tim, on a really, really good day, the wind blowing,
0:27:28 > 0:27:29- we're hoping for £10.- OK.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31- Well, the team paid eight.- OK.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34And they'll be so chuffed if you make them a £2 profit on it.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36- Yes.- OK, next up is the baseball glove.- Yes.
0:27:36 > 0:27:41This great Rawlings name were founded in St Louis in 1887.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44It's the all-leather palm baseball glove.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Age-wise, it might be 1960s.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50- So that bit of kit in America would be pretty desirable.- Mmm.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52How is it here in Etwall?
0:27:52 > 0:27:55It's something which could ride or fall and if we have
0:27:55 > 0:27:59- our American friends bidding live, it might make £25...- Might it?
0:27:59 > 0:28:00..if not, it could make five.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02- OK, well, they paid £5.- Right.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Next up is the ultimate embarrassment...
0:28:04 > 0:28:05CHARLES LAUGHS
0:28:05 > 0:28:08..which is a farthing and a penny coin made into a penny-farthing...
0:28:08 > 0:28:10- Yes.- ..and shoved into a little block of wood...
0:28:10 > 0:28:12- CHARLES LAUGHS AGAIN - Yes.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15..which is quite the most ghastly thing I've seen in years.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Knowing you, Charles, you'll turn it into a small profit
0:28:17 > 0:28:20- and they'll be delighted, but it's a joke of an object.- It is.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24Coins have no real intrinsic worth, they're not rare years.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27They're not obviously in good condition. They've been soldered.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30It's... The value is novelty.
0:28:30 > 0:28:31It might make £10 if we're lucky.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33- OK, well, that's what they paid, £10.- Fine.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37- So, on that basis, maybe it will work for them...- Yes.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40..but having said that, if it doesn't,
0:28:40 > 0:28:42they've got the bonus buy to fall back on,
0:28:42 > 0:28:44so let's go and have a look at it.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49£277 of leftover lolly - I can't believe I said that -
0:28:49 > 0:28:52went to Catherine. Catherine, what did you spend the 277 on?
0:28:52 > 0:28:54Well, Tim, I bought...
0:28:56 > 0:28:59- I recognise it.- You rejected it. - You did, at £10.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02Yes, that was mean of me. HE LAUGHS
0:29:02 > 0:29:05- But it was more quality than any item that we'd bought.- Yes.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09I wanted to show you that we can still spend very little
0:29:09 > 0:29:13but buy something that is worth a little bit more.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16- You're right, that is better. - You like it now!
0:29:16 > 0:29:19- HE LAUGHS Yes, that's sensible.- You like it.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21Cos it's got this lovely gadroon border,
0:29:21 > 0:29:24it's 1970s in date, so it is modern.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26There's not a lot of weight to it.
0:29:26 > 0:29:30- But it's not tat.- But it's silver and it's quality.- Yeah.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33- And...- I can see why you bought it. - And it wasn't £10.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35Oh, really? What did you spend?
0:29:35 > 0:29:37- Five.- Really?
0:29:37 > 0:29:39- We should make a profit on that. - Yes, definitely.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43- How much profit's in it? - A lot. Loads.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46- Well, not loads, but we're going to double.- Yes.- Triple.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48But right now, for the audience at home,
0:29:48 > 0:29:51let's find out what the auctioneer feels about the pin dish.
0:29:51 > 0:29:55- OK, Charles, there's a tiny little salver.- It's pretty, isn't it?
0:29:55 > 0:29:59Nice and clean, crisp. Hallmark Birmingham, I love the rim
0:29:59 > 0:30:01with the gadrooning and the casting.
0:30:01 > 0:30:06Just a pretty, small trinket dish, dressing table dish, whatever.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09- Very feminine.- It is.- She paid £5 for it.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11- I can't believe it.- No.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Give it a box, Tim, and you put it into a retail,
0:30:14 > 0:30:17high-street store today, it's a £75 dish.
0:30:17 > 0:30:22And she had £277 to spend, yet only went out
0:30:22 > 0:30:26and spent a five pound note. Anyway, there we have it, good fun.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Now, moving on to the blues, Andy and Kay,
0:30:29 > 0:30:33is the cold-painted French bulldog.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Do you like French bulldogs?
0:30:35 > 0:30:37This small little dog is very sweet.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40- I love the dusty colouring of the enamels.- Yeah.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42It's got a good weight.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45Obviously, we want to ask that question, is it Bergman?
0:30:45 > 0:30:47- Yes.- Is it...- Is it Viennese? - Is it Viennese?
0:30:47 > 0:30:49- I'm happy it's Viennese.- Yeah.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51I'm happy it's probably turn of the century.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53But anyway, very nice.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55If you love a French bulldog, I mean, that's just a honey.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58- I'm hoping there will be lots and lots of competition for him.- Good.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00- How much?- Up to £100,
0:31:00 > 0:31:03- guide between 50-80.- Very sensible.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06- Well, they paid £140, which is slightly out in the long grass.- Yes.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10OK, now, the brass vesta case in the form of a pig.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12It's a really sweet vesta case.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16Again, it's that Edwardian novelty, probably 1900, 1910.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19- Another internet item, right? - Absolutely. In good condition,
0:31:19 > 0:31:22so hopefully that pig will find a good home at the market.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25Lovely. Well, today's market day - how much?
0:31:25 > 0:31:28I foresee him making between £25 and £35.
0:31:28 > 0:31:29- Perfect, £45 paid.- Good.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32- So that's in the same stall, so to speak.- Yes.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34Now we've got the malacca cane.
0:31:34 > 0:31:38- Yes.- Which has got a Chester silver mark on it, which is nice.
0:31:38 > 0:31:401894. Seems to be pretty well together, Charles?
0:31:40 > 0:31:43Yeah, I mean, we always say to collectors,
0:31:43 > 0:31:46when you're buying silver, Chester, York, Newcastle,
0:31:46 > 0:31:50the now extinct Assay Offices. So buy those rarer marks.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53So we know Chester stopped hallmarking in 1962.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55This one is 1894.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57The malacca is fine quality.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59It hasn't split, it hasn't warped.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03The only issue with it is the mushroom silver handle
0:32:03 > 0:32:06has just suffered a fewer indentations. That's life.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08- Yeah, it's been bashed. - It has.- OK, how much?
0:32:08 > 0:32:10- Between £20 and £30.- OK, £50 paid.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14I, personally, think they paid too much for a perfectly plain
0:32:14 > 0:32:15- and ordinary cane.- Agreed.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18So I'm with you in that, and I think, as a result,
0:32:18 > 0:32:21they may trip and fall, and they're going to need the bonus buy.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24So let's go and have a look at it.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26How much did you spend? 235.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28How much did you give Richard? £65.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Richard, what did you spend it on?
0:32:30 > 0:32:33I had to maintain our theme of animals,
0:32:33 > 0:32:35so I brought you a lion.
0:32:35 > 0:32:36- Oh, yeah.- Yeah.
0:32:36 > 0:32:41- Very nice.- A lion, a Victorian cast-iron doorstop.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43It could even be late Regency,
0:32:43 > 0:32:46if I was being very generous in cataloguing.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49But bold, dramatic, possibly made in Coalbrookdale.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51- Who knows?- Can I have a hold of it? - Heavy as well.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53I'm delighted you said that.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57And how much did you pay for this?
0:32:57 > 0:33:01- Ah, the dealer was asking £60 for it.- Right.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03I bought it for 40.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05And what would you think it...
0:33:05 > 0:33:09I'm hoping that we could perhaps get back what the dealer
0:33:09 > 0:33:11- was asking for it retail.- Right.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15And so, a profit of £20, maybe £25 in it.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17For the audience at home,
0:33:17 > 0:33:21let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Richard's lump of iron.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25- There you go, Charles. That's quite lumpy.- It is lumpy.- Yeah.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28- But genuine, yeah?- It is genuine.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30It's a really nice cast-iron,
0:33:30 > 0:33:32really heavily black painted doorstop.
0:33:32 > 0:33:37- And, erm, it just has a great, patriotic feel about it.- Yeah.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40I just wonder about doorstop though, because that, to me,
0:33:40 > 0:33:43is terribly top-heavy as a doorstop.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47A doorstop, to me, wants to have a little handle on the top
0:33:47 > 0:33:50- and a slightly chunkier base so that the thing doesn't fall over.- Yes.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53- That would fall over, wouldn't it, as a doorstop?- Yeah.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55We've called it a doorstop, but you're quite right.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58Looking at how open this inner-back is,
0:33:58 > 0:33:59you could have your companion sets
0:33:59 > 0:34:02or bits behind there on that fireplace.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Something to do with chimney ornaments rather than a doorstop.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07I don't know. I honestly don't know what the answer is,
0:34:07 > 0:34:10but it's genuine, it's a rampant lion, which people like.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13- It's very patriotic.- It is.- What do you think it's worth, Charles?
0:34:13 > 0:34:16Well, Tim, I hope, for Queen and country, it will roar.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19- Our guide price is between £30 and £50.- Is it?
0:34:19 > 0:34:22- Well, spot on, cos he's at £40, in the middle.- Good.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26- I fancy this team are going to need their bonus buy.- Yes.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29But we're standing by for your excellent performance, Charles.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32- I can't wait.- You're starting in a minute.- Literally.- Excellent.
0:34:32 > 0:34:33Thank you, Charles.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36OK, Charles, it's time to get this sale under way
0:34:36 > 0:34:37and take to your rostrum.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43Fair warning, sale.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46Now, Lynne, Patrick, I can hardly say to you, "Is there anything
0:34:46 > 0:34:49"you wish you hadn't bought?", because you spent so little,
0:34:49 > 0:34:51- it doesn't really make much difference, does it?- No.
0:34:51 > 0:34:52OK, and we're on.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54First off is your Stylophone.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58I am bid... I can't believe it, someone's bid.
0:34:58 > 0:34:59I am bid £2.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01CHEERING
0:35:01 > 0:35:03Give me three now. At £2.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Surely three? I'm out.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07£3 I'm bid.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Do I see four now? Do I see 400p?
0:35:10 > 0:35:12400, 500p?
0:35:12 > 0:35:14- LAUGHTER - It sounds better.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17Are you sure? At 400p...
0:35:17 > 0:35:20Five and six, and seven.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22Come on, come on.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24No, more, more, more.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26At six I'm bid. I'm asking seven.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Online bid, eight. Online bid.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30Yes. Hooray, we've broken even.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32Eight I'm bid. Bid 10 now.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35- We need one more. - Has it gone to 10?- No.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38Make no mistake, we are selling at £8.
0:35:38 > 0:35:39- One more!- Oh...
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Going, it's sold.
0:35:41 > 0:35:42Sold for £8, wiped its face.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45Well done, a lot better than some would have predicted.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48Next is the baseball glove. This has got some potential.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52- This is a Rawlings baseball glove and we do have some interest.- Yes!
0:35:52 > 0:35:54I can start this on a bid of £5.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56I am asking six now.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58It's got to go. Six I'm bid.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00Fair warning, all done. Bid me eight.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03Eight I'm bid in the UK again.
0:36:03 > 0:36:04Come in, America.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08Come in, America, where are you when we need you?
0:36:08 > 0:36:0910 I'm bid.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13Good old Charles, look at him. He's really making an effort.
0:36:13 > 0:36:14He is working so hard.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17Live in the UK, bid me 12.
0:36:17 > 0:36:2012 online. Do I see 15? All out.
0:36:20 > 0:36:21- Bid 15?- Come on.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23Or I sell online today,
0:36:23 > 0:36:25going once, going twice,
0:36:25 > 0:36:27at £12, it's over.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29- Hooray.- Hooray.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32Well done, plus £7.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34Next up is your penny-farthing.
0:36:34 > 0:36:39What we've got here is a modern model of a penny-farthing bicycle,
0:36:39 > 0:36:41and I'm bid nothing.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44- LAUGHTER - I'm sorry. I'm bid nothing!
0:36:44 > 0:36:45I blame Pat.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48And I can start at, do I say £1 for it?
0:36:48 > 0:36:49Only a pound. Let's go.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51One and two, and three and four, we're rolling.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53Five and six, and seven and eight.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55We're rolling high, 10, 12...
0:36:55 > 0:36:56Oh, my goodness me.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58I'll take 11, between friends.
0:36:58 > 0:37:0011, 12.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02Has it made £12?

0:41:38 > 0:41:40All will be revealed in a moment. Thank you very much.
0:41:40 > 0:41:41- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:41:48 > 0:41:53Well, uniquely, we have a team that nearly made a profit on every
0:41:53 > 0:41:55single item, but not quite,
0:41:55 > 0:41:57and we have a team that actually
0:41:57 > 0:41:59made a loss on absolutely everything.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02And the team that made the loss on absolutely everything
0:42:02 > 0:42:03were the Blues.
0:42:03 > 0:42:04Yes!
0:42:04 > 0:42:06LAUGHTER
0:42:06 > 0:42:09I mean, that is just appalling, isn't it, really?
0:42:09 > 0:42:12- The way your...- It depends how you look at it.- Exactly.
0:42:12 > 0:42:16Minus £107 was not great for you.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18- I just think you were unlucky, actually.- Yes.
0:42:18 > 0:42:22Particularly with the Viennese bronze, that wasn't great.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24The rest of it could have gone one way or the other,
0:42:24 > 0:42:27- but it was that bronze that did for you.- It did, it did.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29- Yeah, it did.- That old dog, I'd say.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31- LAUGHTER - It's the taking part that matters.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33- Did you enjoy it?- I did.- Did you?
0:42:33 > 0:42:35- We've loved having you on the show. - Thank you.
0:42:35 > 0:42:36Thank you very much for coming.
0:42:36 > 0:42:41But the victors today, who spent practically nothing,
0:42:41 > 0:42:44actually go home with £25, which is kind of handy, isn't it?
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Rich beyond our wildest dreams.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48We go home with more than we spent, don't we?
0:42:48 > 0:42:50You do. You spent £23 -
0:42:50 > 0:42:55you actually spent £28 if you take the amount that the bonus buy
0:42:55 > 0:42:57contributed, and you go home with 25.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00- So not quite, but jolly good, isn't it?- Yeah, it's all right.
0:43:00 > 0:43:04- Marvellous stuff. Anyway, have you had a good time?- Excellent.
0:43:04 > 0:43:05- It's been amazing.- Good.
