0:00:02 > 0:00:03CHEERING
0:00:03 > 0:00:07So, how many festivals can you think of?
0:00:07 > 0:00:11Glastonbury, Cambridge Folk Festival,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15V Festival, apparently, Harvest Festival...
0:00:17 > 0:00:20Well, you can forget all those festivals
0:00:20 > 0:00:23because the one that should be top of your list is this one -
0:00:23 > 0:00:29the Peterborough Festival of Antiques, and that's why I'm here.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32So let's go bargain hunting, yeah.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Each of the teams have £300 and an hour to find
0:01:03 > 0:01:05their three items to take over to auction.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08And with all this selection, they should have no difficulty
0:01:08 > 0:01:09in snapping up a bargain.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Hello.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Anyway, let's take a quick butcher's as to what's coming up.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Butchers equal sausages. Sausages equal Punch.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19"I'm Punch." "I'm Judy."
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Oh, Lordy. That's the way to do it.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26- On today's show, no puppets but plenty of punches.- They're my boys.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- She's got the winners. - They're definitely not going to win.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33- We need to buy something to beat the girls.- But who will be pleased as punch at the auction?
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Commission bids are in. I'm straight in at £30.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- Yes! Come on!- Oh, my gosh.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41That's all for later so let's meet today's teams.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Well, it's a battle of the sexes today
0:01:46 > 0:01:50- because for the Reds we have friends Emma and Anya...- Hi!
0:01:50 > 0:01:55..and for the Blues we have friends and colleagues Sean and Harry.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57- Hello, everyone.- Hi!- Hi, Tim.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Now, Emma, how do you know each other?
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Me and Anya met at sixth form and we went to school together
0:02:03 > 0:02:06and since then we've been inseparable.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10We work together, go to uni together, do the same course...
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- It's a bit sad, really.- You look very similar, I have to say.
0:02:13 > 0:02:18- Are you ever mistaken for sisters? - Yeah, we do get that quite a lot. Sometimes people think we're sisters.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21We have had an occasion where people thought we were twins
0:02:21 > 0:02:23- when we were out.- So we got free drinks for the whole night.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25- Did you?- Yeah, it was really good.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- Works to our advantage sometimes so it's quite good. - That's quite naughty.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30- It says here you collect stamps. - Yeah, I do.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34It's quite unusual for a young, cool person to collect stamps.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- How did that all come about? - I know, it's a bit geeky, isn't it? - Not really, but how?
0:02:37 > 0:02:40My dad collected them, collects them,
0:02:40 > 0:02:41and he just gave me his stamp album
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- and I've just added to it from there, really...- Lovely.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- ..over the past five years.- Now, Anya, do you also collect stamps?
0:02:47 > 0:02:49- No, I don't collect stamps. - What do you collect?
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- I collect spoons.- Oh, do you? - Yeah.- How sweet!
0:02:52 > 0:02:54- Weirdo.- Well, I don't know about that.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Hey, come on, you collect stamps. Leave me alone.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01- How many spoons have you got?- 210. - You never have.- 210 spoons.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03- And counting.- Yeah, real spoons.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- Have you got your own spoon rack? - No, I don't have a spoon rack.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08- Yeah, that's the next thing to find. - Yeah, that is the next level.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12- Yeah, really show them off and display your spoons. - I need to find one of those.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- Maybe look for one today and that can be what we hunt down. - Exactly.
0:03:15 > 0:03:20- Now, Emma, you're keen on swimming? - Yeah.- Yeah, tell us about that.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21I was third in the country at one point,
0:03:21 > 0:03:24which was probably my biggest achievement when I was younger.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26- And what stroke?- Butterfly. - Oh, right.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30That's such a pretty stroke too, isn't it? Anyway, you can still
0:03:30 > 0:03:32show us some of your strokes today on Bargain Hunt.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36- How about that?- Definitely.- I wish you good luck.- Thank you!- Perfect.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37Now, chaps.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Sean, you're quite at home in your blue fleeces, aren't you?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Yes, Tim. We're in the Royal Air Force so we wear a blue uniform
0:03:43 > 0:03:45so it's nice to still be wearing the blue.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- And what do you do within the RAF? - We're both RAF policemen.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52- Are you?- Yes.- Right. Special training for that?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Yeah, we do 26 weeks down in Portsmouth
0:03:55 > 0:03:58so it's normal police training like your law, and stuff like that,
0:03:58 > 0:04:00but in the military we have our military law as well
0:04:00 > 0:04:03so we do the military law training as well. So it's quite intense.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05When you were in Afghanistan, you had time
0:04:05 > 0:04:06to do a bit of charity stuff?
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Yeah, basically me and my colleagues did...
0:04:09 > 0:04:11We mirrored the Tour de France but on a static bike
0:04:11 > 0:04:15and each one of us did a leg of the Tour de France.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Quite hot... It was about 50 degrees when we were doing it.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- I did 185km...- Did you?
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Yeah, in just over seven hours, which was very, very hard
0:04:24 > 0:04:27but we raised just over £2,000 for charity, which was really good.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31That's brilliant. And is that a local charity you were raising the money for?
0:04:31 > 0:04:35We did it for the charity War Child, which funds money for children
0:04:35 > 0:04:38affected by war so in Afghanistan we thought it was quite relevant.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Yes, exactly.
0:04:40 > 0:04:45So, Harry, I'm told that Bargain Hunt is a popular watch
0:04:45 > 0:04:47with your colleagues in the services.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Yeah, in the police flat at Wittering, from quarter past 12 to one o'clock
0:04:50 > 0:04:52it's sort of a lunchtime tradition now.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56- We don't consider ourselves experts though.- No.- We came here thinking,
0:04:56 > 0:04:59"We'll just go on what we've learned from Bargain Hunt themselves." So...
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Well, if you come on knowing what you know from Bargain Hunt
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- you'll do very well. - I hope so, Tim.- Clearly.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06It's good fun, isn't it? What are your tactics going to be?
0:05:06 > 0:05:10You've seen the show. Are you going to spend a lot, or spend a little? Where are you coming from?
0:05:10 > 0:05:14Spend small, sell big, leave as much money as we can for our expert.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17We're definitely going to beat the girls, put it that way.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- Oh, beat the girls.- I don't think you are. You've got some competition on that one.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Oh! This is fighting talk.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26Anyway, now the money moment. Here you go. There you go, girls. £300.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29You know the rules, your experts await and off you go.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34Very, very, very good luck. What lovely teams.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37So, all our lovely teams need now are two terrific experts.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42And the Reds have a good egg, it's Thomas Plant.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46And for the Blues, it's everybody's favourite,
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Shropshire lass Christina Trevanion.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- What are we going to buy? - I want to buy a watch, I think.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- I'm looking for some kind of watch. - A man's watch or a girl's watch?
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- Well, either one. Whichever one's the nicest.- Unisex.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02- Little small silver animals. - Small silver animals, OK. Everyone loves animals.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- Maybe little pincushions or something like that.- OK.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08- Stage lights. They've been doing really well recently.- Stage lights. - Yeah.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10So, what do you think of your competition?
0:06:10 > 0:06:12- I think we can beat them.- No problem.- We can take them down.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16Right, my hero boys. Boys in blue, I like it.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19It's just annoying cos they said they were going to beat us so we need to beat them.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Right, teams, your 60 minutes start now
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- and it's time to swing into action. - WHISTLE BLOWS
0:06:25 > 0:06:27- Are you ready?- Ready.- Let's go.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- Right, let's get going.- OK.- Game on, eh? This could be interesting.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36- We need to find something within ten minutes.- Don't panic. You know, we've got an hour.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Have the Reds got a plan to sabotage the Blues?
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- RAF medals!- RAF medals.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46You're not going to beat the boys at their own game.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- We could beat them at their own game!- We could try, we could try.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- Royal Hong Kong Police.- Oh, what? - Royal Hong Kong Police, right there.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Royal Hong Kong Police.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59- Cos you're in the police, aren't you? Well, you're in the RAF.- The Royal Air Force Police, yeah.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01The Royal Air Force Police.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Is that similar to the Royal Hong Kong Police?
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- I don't think so.- No? Not at all? - It's got the Queen's crown.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11- It's got the Queen's crown on it. - Is that the only relevance?
0:07:11 > 0:07:12Yeah, I think so, yeah.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19- We could maybe buy a bike. £22! - I just don't know what I want to get.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- Yeah, neither do I. - I can't decide.- Don't worry.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25There's too much to look at. There's literally everything.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Focus, Reds, focus.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- Where's Christina?- Oh, dear, Blues, not a good start. Christina!
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Oh, Lordy. Let's hope the Reds are doing a little bit better.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41- Does it come together?- Yeah. - Are they together?
0:07:41 > 0:07:45- Yeah, the moustache brush and the... - That's quite cute, isn't it? - ..curling tongs.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Do you think maybe the novelty of that would be good
0:07:47 > 0:07:50at auction because surely there's not that many of them?
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Probably, yes. You do get the odd moustache comb.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56We know somebody very close to the show who has a moustache.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58- THEY LAUGH He does have a bit of a moustache. - Doesn't he?
0:07:58 > 0:08:02- Do you think he'll buy it?- He's not allowed to.- Will he bid for us? - He might do.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05I mean, those... They're quite cool. Can we have a look at that?
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- They're quite fun things. So this is banded stained agate.- OK, yeah.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12And there's your little, sort of, mirror here.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Can I see that thing? Is that all right?
0:08:14 > 0:08:20- These are the curling tongs.- Oh, tongs.- How much could...?
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- Oh. Yeah.- It says 68 for moustache brush and tongs.
0:08:23 > 0:08:29- 50.- 50? Would you do 45?- No, 50. - 50 is final?
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- It's worth a think.- OK, yeah.- It's an unusual thing.- They are unusual. They're fun.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- OK, right, let's move.- Let's go to the next one.- Let's move on. - We can always come back.- Yeah.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40- Cos we know where this is, don't we? The first one we came to.- We know where it is?
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- We do.- Yeah.- Thank you, we might come back. I think we probably will.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45- That's great, thank you. - I might go back for that myself.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48So, Blues, have you found your expert?
0:08:48 > 0:08:52- Oh, there she is.- Oh, she's there. - Right.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56- Sorry!- Where have you been?- I just saw something and I thought...
0:08:56 > 0:09:00- I just... I don't know, smelt it! - Lordy, Christina's full of beans.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Looks like she's sniffed out something
0:09:02 > 0:09:04that's right up your street.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- What do you think? - Yeah, I do like it.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11- Tell me about it cos it's obviously...- A propeller. - ..a propeller.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- From?- It's from a drone plane. - A drone plane.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18- It's what they would have used for target practice.- And how much is it?
0:09:18 > 0:09:20- £80.- £80. HE INHALES SHARPLY
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- Are you sure about that?- Absolutely.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27- That's a bit out of our price range. - Yeah, a lot.- Oh, no, you guys.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- What is your advice? - I think it's a lovely thing.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32I have seen them sell before.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- Is there any negotiation on that price?- No.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Because I've already knocked at least 30 quid off it.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40- Have you?- Yeah.- Really?
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- Cos we saw you coming. - I was asking 110 for it.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Just to make me feel a little bit more comfortable...
0:09:45 > 0:09:4875 quid, that's it.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- I do like that.- OK.- It is cool, it is cool. I like it.- Yeah?
0:09:51 > 0:09:55- Yeah, I really like it. - It's so relevant for you.- I know.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- I know, I like it. Yeah.- Yeah? I think we should do it.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- Let's go for it.- Yeah?- Yeah. - Come on, team. Let's do it.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02So the Blues have taken off.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06That's the first item in ten minutes and £75 paid.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07Chocks away!
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Now the competition is heating up. Could this be your first stop, Reds?
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- What about this?- What do we think?
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Well, I was just thinking... Cos it's got a little desk to it.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22- What actually is it?- Well, what do you think it is?
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- Drawers.- Obviously you've got the drawers. You've got that
0:10:25 > 0:10:27but then I don't understand why this bit comes out.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Yeah, that's for a laptop or... I don't know, some pens.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Yeah, but, Emma, I don't think that would have been made
0:10:32 > 0:10:36- when laptops were about.- No.- Or was it?- No, no.- Am I totally wrong?
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Girls, girls, girls. So this was made about the late 19th century.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44- Yeah.- So it's 1890s, 1900s. It would have been for your bedroom.- OK.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48So a lady's or young boy's or woman's bedroom cos they didn't have
0:10:48 > 0:10:53offices for themselves and clothes and linen would have been stored.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55- It could have been a housekeeper's one.- Yeah.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58And then they would have written letters on here.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- Yeah.- And what's so good about it is its size.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04- Yeah. We did want to buy something big.- And people think they're getting more.
0:11:04 > 0:11:09- But it's not massive.- It's got a massive ticket price. £245.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- What is your best offer on that? - VENDOR: How about 160?
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Would you go to 140?
0:11:15 > 0:11:18If Emma gave you a hug?
0:11:18 > 0:11:22- I'll split the difference with you. 150.- Can you not go any lower?
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- 145, Nigel, and I think these girls will bite your hand off.- We will.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28- 145.- 145!
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- Brilliant. Happy?- Yay, deal! - OK, yeah. How are we going to carry this around?
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- Don't worry about that. - Thank you very much, Nigel.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38- You've got a man.- Yeah! - You're our man.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- Yeah, I've got a man. On my back. - Thomas, this is all on you.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42It's all on me, yeah. We'll lift this.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Well, the Reds seem pleased with that.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47It's your first item in the bag.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Both teams are really getting down to business now.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51They're neck and neck.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Right, where to next? Let's have a look around.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55- Well, wherever you want to go. - Let's go, T-dawg!
0:11:55 > 0:11:57T-dawg? That's a new one, Thomas.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01- Over to CT and her boys. - We've come a long way down...
0:12:01 > 0:12:05- Christina?- Yeah?- Where are you? Come back.- Sorry, sorry, I keep running away.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Please don't run off again. These things here.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- Oh, these are cool, aren't they?- The reason we like them, is the griffin
0:12:10 > 0:12:12and the griffin is the RAF Police emblem so...
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- Is it?- Yes.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17£35 on the price tag. I love the fact that that means
0:12:17 > 0:12:20something to you guys, the fact that they're griffins.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22I'm not entirely sure it will mean a huge amount
0:12:22 > 0:12:24- to the rest of the population. - No, yeah we were just...- No.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27So you are limiting your market slightly but I do like them.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Show us your haggling skills, boys.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33The brass griffin candlesticks. What's the absolute bottom line
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- you could do?- The absolute best... - Please, nice man.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38- Sorry, please, nice man. - Oh, that's even better!
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- It's still 28 though.- Is it? - Is £28 absolute definite?
0:12:41 > 0:12:44I probably can come down another couple at 26
0:12:44 > 0:12:46but that really is pushing it, I think.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49- OK, but we've still got lots of time.- We have.- All right?- Yeah.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Wise decision I think, Blues. Moving on.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Brexton picnic set.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Yeah... I don't know. I don't think I'm into the whole picnic set thing.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- What about Wedgwood?- No.- No?
0:13:04 > 0:13:09- I like the look of these lights.- You did say you liked lights.- I know.
0:13:09 > 0:13:14- What do you think?- I personally don't like them but if...
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Sorry! I'll walk away.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- Do you reckon we could maybe go for that mannequin?- Really?
0:13:20 > 0:13:24- She's looking for a boyfriend!- Come on, girls. You need to concentrate.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Harry is clearly focused.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28I quite like the look of those binoculars.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- The binoculars...- Can I have a look? Is that all right?- ..are £15.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34- Are they? Is that it?- That's it.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- Because I want to go home. - Right. Fair one.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41What do you think about these binoculars that Harry likes?
0:13:41 > 0:13:45- Binoculars? Well, they're quite new, aren't they? How much are they?- 15.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- Yeah, I just...- I think they're, sort of, '70s.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Yeah, collectors really want sort of name, name, name ones but...
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- OK.- I'll go to ten pounds.- Would you go to five?- Would I go to five?
0:13:54 > 0:13:58- And then you don't have to take them home.- Come on.- That's not enough petrol to get me home.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00You don't have to take them home then, though.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- But you've had a really good day. Yeah.- I've had a really good day.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- Go on, then.- I'll take them for five.- Yeah, done.- Yeah? Awesome.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Did you really think for your Bargain Hunt buy you'd be buying
0:14:09 > 0:14:12- a pair of binoculars?- No, I didn't!
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Brilliant. That's your second item in the bag.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17The Blues are creeping ahead, Reds.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21- We've lost him.- T-dawg!- Oh, Tommy!
0:14:23 > 0:14:24OK, so I've seen something.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27You might not like it cos it might be a bit too girlie.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31- OK.- Cos we're not girls? - Well, you are girls but, you know?
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- Oh, I love it.- A little scent bottle...- Oh, it's cute!
0:14:34 > 0:14:37..in porcelain with a transfer printed scene of a courting couple
0:14:37 > 0:14:41and this is, sort of, a mercury glass.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45It's not really mercury but it's a silvered glass dubber so
0:14:45 > 0:14:48you put your scent in there and it's got a little cork stopper and you...
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- Could that still be..?- Yeah, you could still fill it up
0:14:51 > 0:14:53with scent now. It's got a cork. There's still quite a good seal.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Do you think people would actually want to buy that?
0:14:56 > 0:14:58- People love scent bottles.- Yeah? - Popular in auction?
0:14:58 > 0:15:02- And it's 15 quid.- 15?- 1,5, you heard me right.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04- Yeah, I know, I've had a chat. - OK, this is the decider.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06- Let's just go next door.- If we get a watch over there...
0:15:06 > 0:15:09- You've still got two items to buy.- If not, we'll get that.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13Nice try, Tom-Tom. Remember, these girls really want to beat the Blues.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Well, I know. It's just not big money, is it?
0:15:15 > 0:15:17- It's not big money, no. - We want the big dollar.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21I feel your pain, Thomas. Let's take a break from the shopping
0:15:21 > 0:15:23and take a look at these pretty little buttons.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33How obsessed you are you about cuff links?
0:15:33 > 0:15:35You're not fussed one way or the other?
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Well, I have to tell you that a lot of people around the world
0:15:38 > 0:15:41are obsessed about cuff links. Why?
0:15:41 > 0:15:46Well, they're internationally very portable, easy to ship,
0:15:46 > 0:15:50lightweight, put it in a box, send it round the world,
0:15:50 > 0:15:57no problem at all, and a cuff link is, for a man, a personal statement.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00What we have here is a case of buttons.
0:16:00 > 0:16:0418 carat gold buttons with mother-of-pearl centres
0:16:04 > 0:16:08and they would have been used by smart ladies in the Edwardian period
0:16:08 > 0:16:12to change the buttons on their blouses and shirts.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16But nowadays, these things are pretty well useless
0:16:16 > 0:16:18cos girls don't change the buttons on their shirts,
0:16:18 > 0:16:21they come sewn to their shirts.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25And ideally it would be marvellous to have a quick and easy way
0:16:25 > 0:16:31of making these exotic buttons into valuable cuff links.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35Today, here, at Peterborough, I've found this pair
0:16:35 > 0:16:38of pretty boring nine carat gold cuff links
0:16:38 > 0:16:42and they cost £40 from the stallholder down the way.
0:16:42 > 0:16:48But what is intriguing about them, is this solid link.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52If I squeeze it in the middle, look, it comes apart
0:16:52 > 0:16:56and hey, presto, I can take the back off that cuff link
0:16:56 > 0:17:00and...also the front.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Now, that's really clever
0:17:02 > 0:17:06cos if you happen to be sitting with a ruckload of buttons
0:17:06 > 0:17:08that you want to make into cuff links,
0:17:08 > 0:17:14this bar could literally be the missing link.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18Look how lovely the buttons are now that they've been made
0:17:18 > 0:17:20into cuff links.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24And, of course, this is an opportunity for you to make money
0:17:24 > 0:17:29because a pair of cuff links made up with four of these buttons
0:17:29 > 0:17:35would be likely to be worth between at least £400 and £600.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38What's the cost of the individual buttons?
0:17:38 > 0:17:43Well, they'd cost you £40 each. And the link?
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Well, that's not so much, is it?
0:17:45 > 0:17:50So do the maths and this is indeed the missing link.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59Back to the shopping and we have a real competition on our hands.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03We're just over halfway through and it's 2-1 to our boys in blue.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Hello, hello. Here comes trouble.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10- Oh, no. What is this?- What is this?
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Thomas, you look like a rabbit in the headlights. Are you all right?
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- What do you mean?- He looks pretty scared, doesn't he?- Flanked by these women.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21- He looks very scared.- Well, you know. You know me, Christina.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24- I like nothing better.- You're in your element.- In my element.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27- And you, you've got two strapping young men.- I know, my boys.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- She's got the winners. - No, losers. We've done so well.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- We're not telling you but we've done really well.- Fighting talk. - So have we.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37- Right, come on.- Right, best of luck. - We'll see you later, losers.
0:18:37 > 0:18:42- May the better team win.- We will, we will, Thomas.- Bye!- Fighting talk!
0:18:42 > 0:18:45- Fighting talk indeed. - It's meant to be secret!
0:18:45 > 0:18:47- They're definitely not going to win.- No.
0:18:47 > 0:18:48I'll be really annoyed if they do.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52- We need anything, anything we can find that will beat those girls, yeah.- We've spent £80.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56- So hang on a second, now you're telling me...- We're going to get told off now.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- ..we've spent half an hour looking for something small and silver and animal-y...- Yeah.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03- ..and now what are you telling me? - That we need to buy something small, silver
0:19:03 > 0:19:06- and something to beat the girls. - We need to buy something to beat the girls.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- It doesn't have to be small and silver?- No, just beat the girls.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12- Right.- Yes, they need to be beaten. - Oh, the gloves are off now.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16- Let's go look at the dogs.- Aw, they are so cute.- Are they for sale?
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- No, they're not for sale. - Come on, Reds.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22You need two more items to beat those Blues.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25What's that? A bit of costume jewellery, a bit of bling.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- But that's not going to beat the girls.- No.- No, it's not.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32Maybe this vanity set will bring in the bacon to beat the boys.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35- How much is that? - I don't know how much the case is.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37So this all locks in together.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41- So the most important things are these mirrors.- You look gorgeous.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45You do look gorgeous, don't you? So you've got the vanity set...
0:19:45 > 0:19:48- CLATTERING Oooh.- Oh, no.- Oh, no, Thomas.
0:19:48 > 0:19:53- What have you done?- What was it? - I'm sorry about that.- Oh, my gosh!
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- T-dawg, you're in trouble. - I'm in trouble.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58You're going to have to pay for that.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00That's an insurance claim for us, then.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- How much for the vanity case, kind sir?- It's 160.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06- I don't think we have 160.- We don't have 160.- Don't we have 160 left?
0:20:06 > 0:20:08- TIM: No, Reds, you have £155 left. - No, we don't.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10- 20.- What? 20? - No, you don't have 20 either.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13What about the hundred bit? Did you forget about that bit?
0:20:13 > 0:20:15TIM: Come on, be realistic, girls.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18We've just smashed one of his antiques.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Team, come on. We started so well. We started so well.
0:20:21 > 0:20:26- So this is your item.- Yeah. - No pressure...- I know.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29But... Is there anything that you've seen that you like the look of?
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Let's think about areas.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- Um...- Cos we've got 15, 20 minutes left now.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Yeah, well, I like the griffin candlestick.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Crikey, Christina doesn't look impressed.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Well, we could walk back there and if we see anything on our way
0:20:41 > 0:20:44- that really catches my eye...- Yeah? - Yeah, shall we do that?
0:20:44 > 0:20:47- Awesome, OK.- You need to keep your eyes peeled.- I will.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51And, Reds, with 20 minutes left you still need to buy two items.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54The absolute, at the moment, is 110
0:20:54 > 0:20:57but we could look at something else to buy in the stand
0:20:57 > 0:21:02- and then we could combine a lot.- How much do you think it will sell for?
0:21:02 > 0:21:06You could make a profit of 150, 200 and it's a lovely case.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- Yeah, let's get it.- Yeah. - It's leather, it's pigskin leather.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Can we do 100 and then we'll deal?
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Well, hang on, we've got to look and see what else is there is on the stall!
0:21:15 > 0:21:17See what else we can find and maybe we can do a deal.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20- OK.- Do you see what I mean by lumping some things together?
0:21:20 > 0:21:24- Buy one, get one free?- There's not really anything I see that I really like.- You could do a BOGOF.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Buy one, get one free, I like the sound of that.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Now then, what have you got your eye on, Blues?
0:21:32 > 0:21:35A little display cabinet. Very sweet.
0:21:35 > 0:21:40- Would you give me 25 for it? - Can you do it any less than 25?
0:21:40 > 0:21:42- £20, go on.- 15?
0:21:42 > 0:21:46- No.- Maybe I can help.- £20. - Uh-oh.- Go on, knock a bit more off.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Who's this young fellow? THEY LAUGH
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Well, this is a happy time, isn't it? How are you getting on, teams?
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- I'm on the floor, Tim. - You're on the floor.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Not many people get the girl on her hands and knees.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59- Well, on that happy note I think I'll say goodbye now.- Yeah, thanks.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01- See you later, Tim.- Bye, Seany.
0:22:01 > 0:22:06Yup, I'll leave the Blues to it. Any closer to sealing the deal, Reds?
0:22:06 > 0:22:08- These are little cases. - Are they pocket watches?
0:22:08 > 0:22:12No, they're not pocket watches. Little dummy watch cases.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Oh, God, you put little... Oh, they're sweet!
0:22:14 > 0:22:20So what can you do for the lot?
0:22:20 > 0:22:24- 100 quid, the lot.- 100 quid, the lot? It's more than a we've got.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- What? So is that..? What, 100 for..? - No, not for the vanity case.
0:22:27 > 0:22:32- Oh, OK, I thought you were going to do a great deal there. I was like, "Yes, result!"- Yes, we'll take it.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34If we could buy this at 150.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37I know we've got 155 but I've got to buy a bonus buy.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40- Oh,- go on, then. Yes! - This is the best day ever.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44- Done. 150 quid. We're done.- Yay! - Whoo!- Thank you so much!- Thank you.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Those boys are going to be in so much trouble.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50We are going to throw this out the park. Knock this out the park.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Knock it out of the park.
0:22:52 > 0:22:53Finally. That's a double deal.
0:22:53 > 0:22:58£100 for the vanity case and £50 for the novelty watch cases.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Mission accomplished.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Now, Blues, with just over ten minutes left
0:23:03 > 0:23:06you need to find your last item.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09- Are you sure you'd like that rather than the candlesticks?- Yes.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10I do like the cabinet. Yeah.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14- Are you sure?- The candlesticks are miles away.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16- I told you.- So for the sake of not having to make you run
0:23:16 > 0:23:18- you want to buy that. - Yeah, well, it's nice.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21- But it's not very expensive so...- It's too late now.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24It's missing a handle, it's had a repair,
0:23:24 > 0:23:26we don't really know what it's used for.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30I think £15 and you have a deal, sir,
0:23:30 > 0:23:33- you don't have to take it home.- Oh...- £15.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36- That gives us a good fighting chance.- You've done the deal.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37- Whoo-hoo!- Well done, Blues.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41The walnut display cabinet is your third and final item.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44- Congratulations.- Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Time's pu... I mean, up.
0:23:47 > 0:23:48THEY SIGH
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Blimey. Well done, boys. Gosh, I'm tired.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52I'm hoping that we make a profit so we can beat the boys
0:23:52 > 0:23:56- cos we said we wanted to at the start so fingers crossed. - And I want some money.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58- We've got quite a lot riding on this, haven't we?- We have.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01We might need to put our feet up just to digest this.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04- Yeah, I think so but I think we've done really well.- Good.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09Let's check out what the Red Team bought, eh? How do you spell red?
0:24:09 > 0:24:13The Reds got down to business and paid 145 for this bureau.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20Next, they made a shrewd double deal with the vanity case for £100
0:24:20 > 0:24:23and were equally made up with these novelty watch cases,
0:24:23 > 0:24:25bought for a nifty 50.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- Well, girls, was that fun or was it fun?- It was fun.- Very fun.
0:24:30 > 0:24:35- Did you have a spend-up? - Yes.- You did?- We got a bit excited.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37- Well, that's so super.- We've never had that much money before.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40- Just to blow, yeah?- Exactly. - And you blew it, right?
0:24:40 > 0:24:45- We did.- How much did you spend? - 295.- 295. Just music to my ears.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47- Please, may I have the five pound note of leftover lolly? - There you go.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Right, this is going to be Tom-Tom's challenge in a minute.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- Don't spend it all at once.- So, Emma, which is your favourite piece?
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- I like the novelty watches.- OK. That's your favourite, favourite?
0:24:56 > 0:24:59- Personal favourite? - Personal favourite, yeah.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03Personal favourite is the vanity box cos we did such a good bargain on that. We did really well.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06- OK. You knee-capped the dealer, right?- We did.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Which piece is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:25:09 > 0:25:11- Definitely not that big... - The vanity box, I think.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13- You think the vanity box?- Yep. - OK, fine.- Hopefully.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Those are our predictions. You've done incredibly well, you girls.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Now, Tom, a challenge for a five pound note.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- That's a cappuccino and a small bun here.- Do you think you'll be OK?
0:25:22 > 0:25:25- I love a five pound challenge. - Yeah?- I love it.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28- It's so much fun.- I wish you luck.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Everybody wishes you luck, Tom, including me.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Now why don't we check out what the Blue Team bought, eh?
0:25:34 > 0:25:36The Blues got off to a flying start
0:25:36 > 0:25:39and bought the drone propeller for £75.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Next, they're hoping these binoculars will bring them
0:25:44 > 0:25:46a soaring profit. Just five pounds paid.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49And finally, they don't want a crash landing with this
0:25:49 > 0:25:52display cabinet, which they bought for £15.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Well, chaps, our boys in blue, how did you get on with CT today?
0:25:57 > 0:26:00- Was she good to you?- Yeah, she was very good, actually.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03- Was she?- Yeah. Kept us on the straight and narrow.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06- You mean she bossed you about a bit? - Maybe a little bit.- Yeah.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09- Not a lot, not a lot.- It's like one of those senior NCOs, right?
0:26:09 > 0:26:11- Once they get really... - Absolutely.- Yeah, I know, I know.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15- So you spent how much?- £95. - Did you, Sean?- Yes.
0:26:15 > 0:26:16That's absolutely nothing.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19OK, I'd like £205 back, please.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22£205, which is marvellous. What's your favourite bit?
0:26:22 > 0:26:25The propeller that we bought, Christina's item.
0:26:25 > 0:26:26- Typical.- Yeah.- Really?
0:26:26 > 0:26:30- The one we got bossed about on.- OK. And what's your favourite bit, Sean?
0:26:30 > 0:26:31- The propeller as well, yeah.- Is it?
0:26:31 > 0:26:34- I like the propeller.- Yeah, lovely. - What?- Superb.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36So which of these is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:26:36 > 0:26:39- I'm thinking the binoculars I bought.- I hope it's the propeller.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41OK, fine, so a bit of a split decision there.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Anyway, super. You didn't spend much but it doesn't matter, it depends on what you bought.
0:26:44 > 0:26:49- This is going over to CT now. - I'm ready, I'm ready.- You...
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Settle. OK, fine. You've got it.
0:26:51 > 0:26:56Now that's another huge wad of cash for you. What are you going to do?
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Well, the boys really wanted something small and silvery
0:26:59 > 0:27:02- and animal-y...- Yeah. - ..I seem to remember.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- Sounds masculine. - It does, doesn't it?
0:27:05 > 0:27:08So I don't know. I will see if I can fulfil your requirements.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10- It might not happen.- Thank you.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13- Yes.- Yeah, well...- OK, fine. Well, very good luck with that
0:27:13 > 0:27:16because in a short moment or two we'll be heading off to the auction.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18How exciting.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Polishing his gavel, ready for today's auction,
0:27:26 > 0:27:28it's Richard Winterton.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Well, we've got some variety today, I tell you.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35First up is this chest-on-bureau,
0:27:35 > 0:27:38which is a queer old thing, isn't it?
0:27:38 > 0:27:42Do you think that the cabinet-maker had a bit of spare chest of drawers
0:27:42 > 0:27:43about and a bit of wood and thought,
0:27:43 > 0:27:47"I know, I'll turn it upside down and I'll stuff it on top and make
0:27:47 > 0:27:50"a bureau out of it"? I don't think it's worth £50, personally.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52What do you think it's worth?
0:27:52 > 0:27:56- 60 - 80.- OK, well, our lot paid £145 for it.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Let's stand by to be surprised but before we get
0:27:58 > 0:28:03completely depressed, let's look at this lovely fitted vanity case.
0:28:03 > 0:28:08- Do you like that?- Strangely enough, I do actually quite like it.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11I love the blue and I think it's...
0:28:11 > 0:28:15You know... Obviously it's a pity it's not silver.
0:28:15 > 0:28:20- I do like it. We've gone 70 - 100. - OK, £100 paid.- I'm not surprised.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Now, my favourite of them all
0:28:22 > 0:28:28has to be this little group of fake watches. I think they're just super.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30- Yeah, I think they're fun. - I'm liking. You liking?
0:28:30 > 0:28:34I am, I think we've got half a chance. I think we'll need it but I think we've got half a chance.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37So you'll have given it a pretty tempting estimate, knowing you?
0:28:37 > 0:28:41- 30 - 40.- That's the one. And they paid £50.- Spot on.
0:28:41 > 0:28:46And, like I say, if you can just infect folk, it would be brilliant
0:28:46 > 0:28:50but you're on an uphill battle for them to make a profit, in my view.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53- I think so. - With this Romanian lump behind me.
0:28:53 > 0:28:57In which case, they'll need their bonus buy but as they only left the expert with five pounds...
0:28:57 > 0:29:00- Oh.- Stand by your bed for that, eh?
0:29:00 > 0:29:01Well, this is good fun, isn't it?
0:29:01 > 0:29:05Well, the Reds did so well, didn't they, spending £295?
0:29:05 > 0:29:09Five pounds only to Tom so that was your challenge. How did you get on?
0:29:09 > 0:29:11I love a challenge for five pounds.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15- Absolutely fabulous and I bought you a proper bit of silver.- Oh!
0:29:15 > 0:29:18It's a caddy spoon-cum-christening spoon
0:29:18 > 0:29:20but it's something you'd give as a little present.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22It's a christening spoon, it could be a pusher
0:29:22 > 0:29:25but it's also very similar to a caddy spoon. It is solid silver.
0:29:25 > 0:29:29- Oh, it's really nice.- Yeah, I like it.- And it cost five pounds.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31You've got one like that at home, actually, I think.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33- Not like this one, I don't. - It's very pretty.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35- Do you like it?- We love it.
0:29:37 > 0:29:38Well, that's good then, isn't it?
0:29:38 > 0:29:41I rather thought you might. Anyway, good for you, Tom.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43Predictions to what it will bring?
0:29:43 > 0:29:45Oh, it's going to double its money.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48It's got to make £10, £20. It might even quadruple.
0:29:48 > 0:29:49We're holding you to that.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51- Really?- It will double, it will double.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54- It will definitely be £10. - I watched your lips there, Tom.
0:29:54 > 0:29:55- He did say double, definite.- Double.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59It was the DD moment, the double definite moment.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01OK, right now though let's find out
0:30:01 > 0:30:05whether the auctioneer agrees that it is a double D moment.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10There, Richard, the most perfect little piece of baby silver.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15These are always collectable, people always want these, don't they?
0:30:15 > 0:30:18- There's always another christening coming around the corner.- Yeah.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22- I call that a shovelling spoon. What do you call it?- You could call it a shovelling spoon,
0:30:22 > 0:30:24we could just call it a little christening spoon.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Thomas Plant only had five pounds.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28He spent the whole five pounds. What's it worth?
0:30:28 > 0:30:31- He's done brilliant. - It's not bad, is it?
0:30:31 > 0:30:33No. We've gone 10 - 20. It's going to walk it, walk it.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36- He's such a clever boy, that Tom. - Yeah.
0:30:36 > 0:30:41Now, moving on, Christina has bought another amusing selection, look.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45We've got the beechwood aeroplane propeller,
0:30:45 > 0:30:49which is a pretty small propeller, isn't it?
0:30:49 > 0:30:52I mean, what's that off? Some lawnmower or something?
0:30:52 > 0:30:55- But there are collectors for this. - It's a boy's toy to me.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57You know, people have it in their offices. It's a good thing.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59OK, what's it worth, a propeller?
0:30:59 > 0:31:05- 70 - 100.- £75 paid so it could take off.- Yeah.- Now, the binoculars.
0:31:05 > 0:31:10- Anything special about those? - Absolutely jack nothing.- OK, fine.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13- So very standard binoculars.- Yeah. - Expensive things to buy.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16- What are they worth?- Five, eight pounds...- That's all right.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18She only paid five pounds so that's OK.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22- OK.- Now the two-door cabinet probably held a copy of
0:31:22 > 0:31:24the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27- Don't you feel that kind of thing coming on?- I do and I quite like it.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30I think it's got something about it.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33I think someone who knows what they're doing... Tidy it all up.
0:31:33 > 0:31:37- Yeah.- You know? The colour will come up beautifully.- A bit grubby.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41I think you'd just clean it all up. I think it... It's all right.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45- Yeah, a little project. OK. How much?- 30 - 40.- Brilliant.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48- £15 paid. Did well?- Yeah, it's good.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51- They paid the right price, didn't they?- Yeah.- OK, £95 was spent.
0:31:51 > 0:31:56That means that there was £205 of leftover lolly.
0:31:56 > 0:32:00Let us see what Christina spent it on.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03Harry, Sean, have you any idea what Christina
0:32:03 > 0:32:05has invested your £205 in?
0:32:05 > 0:32:09- Something small.- We're hoping. - You'd be right.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13- And silvery, hopefully.- And silvery, hopefully?- Yeah.- OK, fine.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17OK, well, £205 was a lot of money, Christina, so what did you go for?
0:32:17 > 0:32:20Well, I got a bit giddy. I did spend quite a lot of money.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23- Good.- Because we didn't really spend a huge amount, did we?- No.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26But I so loved spending time with you guys and what did you want?
0:32:26 > 0:32:28A small silver animal.
0:32:30 > 0:32:35- Ta-da!- Aw!- That's small, it's silvery and it's animal-y.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38- And it's animal-y.- And it's lovely. It is.- Yeah, it's very nice.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41So, what it is, it is a little silver pincushion,
0:32:41 > 0:32:43obviously in the form of a pig.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46It's Henry Matthews, Birmingham, 1904.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48I did spend quite a lot of money on it though.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51- How much did you spend?- Cos you did leave me with quite a lot of money.- We did, yeah.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55- And I spent £175 on him...- Right, OK. That is a lot of money.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58- ..which is a lot of money.- It is a lot of money.- It is a lot of money.
0:32:58 > 0:33:02- And at a retail price that's a fair price.- OK.- At auction,
0:33:02 > 0:33:06I would say... At auction he would probably fetch maybe £100 - £150
0:33:06 > 0:33:08but he was the only thing that I could find
0:33:08 > 0:33:11that would fit your brief.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14- Right.- I thought the purpose of the bonus buy was to find something
0:33:14 > 0:33:16- that made a profit. - Well, yes and no.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19- The purpose of it, as far as I'm concerned...- What do you mean yes and no?
0:33:19 > 0:33:23- ..is to make my boys happy. - Listen...
0:33:23 > 0:33:25This is called Bargain Hunt, right?
0:33:25 > 0:33:27You find a bargain and you make a profit.
0:33:27 > 0:33:32- That's what it's about!- My brief was small, animal-y and silver.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35- And that will make a profit. - Oh, I missed that bit.- Oh.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39- OK, chaps?- Yes.- Happy with that? - Yes, Tim.- Perfect.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Why don't we find out what the auctioneer
0:33:41 > 0:33:44thinks about Christina's little...pig?
0:33:45 > 0:33:50- Now, Richard, what do you make of that pig?- OK...
0:33:50 > 0:33:53I quite like these things, coming from a farming background
0:33:53 > 0:33:56so these are always great fun to me.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58You've got the farming connection, which people collect
0:33:58 > 0:34:01and the pincushion collectors. They're not what they used to be.
0:34:01 > 0:34:05I think they've just come slightly off the boil, these sort of things
0:34:05 > 0:34:06but it's a good thing.
0:34:06 > 0:34:10- It all depends what they paid for it but it's a good thing.- Christina invested heavily in this.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12- Marky, she gotta lotta cash... - Yeah.- ..to splash.
0:34:12 > 0:34:16I thought you were going to say that. We've gone 60 - 80.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18We could just scrape to the hundred
0:34:18 > 0:34:20but I wouldn't really want to put much more than that.
0:34:20 > 0:34:25- Why, she paid a lot more? - A lot more.- Really?- Really.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27- 175 smacks.- Oh, dear.- Yeah.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31Basically it's all in the lap of the gods.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34It all comes down to the auctioneer's skills, doesn't it?
0:34:34 > 0:34:38- I'm looking forward to it.- Yes, so are we. Anyway, good luck.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40- Thank you.- You'll need it.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44So let the auction begin.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50Your Edwardian walnut chest-on-bureau. Yes, you paid £145 for it...
0:34:50 > 0:34:53- Yeah, I'm not loving that. - ..and everybody hated that actually.
0:34:53 > 0:34:57- It was meant to be 245 though. - Was it? Is that what it was?
0:34:57 > 0:34:59- Yeah, we got it down.- Good Lord.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02Anyway, your first item is happening now. Here it is, look.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04It's on the screen. This is it.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06- Oh, God, I'm cringing.- £20 a start.
0:35:06 > 0:35:10An acquired taste but I'm sure there is an acquired taste in our audience.
0:35:10 > 0:35:15- £20. £10 bid.- Ten?
0:35:15 > 0:35:20- 15, 20, 25, 30.- No-one's going to buy it, are they?
0:35:20 > 0:35:25- I'm embarrassed.- Here, at £30. With me at £30?
0:35:25 > 0:35:2735, the internet.
0:35:27 > 0:35:3140, with me. Internet, are you coming again?
0:35:31 > 0:35:37At £40. £40, looks like that's it. £40, internet, you've gone. All done.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40- I can't bear it.- It's at 40.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43Oh, no. £40. That's minus 105.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47Now the vanity case. Be positive now, kids.
0:35:47 > 0:35:51- £30 a bid.- Come on.- 5, 40, 5, 50.
0:35:51 > 0:35:56£50 a bid. 50, 60.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58- £60 a bid.- Yes, 80, come on.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01At £60 a bid. £60. £60...
0:36:01 > 0:36:04- There's no money out there. - At £60...
0:36:04 > 0:36:07At £60, all done.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09- Sold at 60.- 60?
0:36:09 > 0:36:13- Goes at 60.- Oh, no. Yeah, minus 145.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16- We were doing so well. - You're cold. Oh, Lordy.
0:36:16 > 0:36:20These are interesting now, the four fob mementos.
0:36:20 > 0:36:25- £20 on the internet. 25, £30, 35, £40.- Yes.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27£40, I've got. £40 a bid.
0:36:27 > 0:36:32- £40.- Go on.- £40, £40... £40, I'm bid.
0:36:32 > 0:36:33- All done at 40.- Oh, no, girls.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37- This is not happening, is it, girls? - No, no.- Oh, my goodness.- Sold at 40.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39- This is not happening. - That's minus £10 on that.
0:36:39 > 0:36:43This is minus 155, which doesn't sound so much if you say it quick.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46- Do you think this spoon will sell for 180?- It might do.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49- Do you want to go with your spoon? - No, we're going to give it a pass.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52- No, I'm joking. We need it. - Seriously, what are you going to do, Emma?
0:36:52 > 0:36:56- Yeah, we need it.- You're going to go with it? You love it, don't you?- We love it.- You said you did.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59- You don't not love it any more, do you? No.- We still love it.
0:36:59 > 0:37:04Now, 795, sweet little silver christening spoon. There it is.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06£2 I'm bid, 2 bid...
0:37:06 > 0:37:104 bid, 5 bid, 6 bid, 8 bid, £8 bid...
0:37:10 > 0:37:139 bid, 10 bid, £10 a bid.
0:37:13 > 0:37:20- £10 a bid.- You're in profit. - £15 a bid, 15, 15, 15...
0:37:20 > 0:37:26- £15, middle of the room at 15. All out. Sold at 15.- That's fantastic.
0:37:26 > 0:37:31- Whoo!- That is plus £10. Well done, girls. Well done, Tom.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35That means you're only minus 145, OK?
0:37:35 > 0:37:39- Yeah.- Minus 145.- OK, that's not too bad. I was expecting worse.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42- Which isn't too bad, is it? Were you?- Yup.
0:37:42 > 0:37:43The figures might say differently.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46Anyway, the thing is, when you see the boys, don't say a word,
0:37:46 > 0:37:48- all right?- No, we won't.- Yeah. - OK. Stay strong.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51- In fact, look rather confident. - Yeah.- We'll walk in like, "Yeah!"
0:37:51 > 0:37:53- Yeah, yeah, that's the one.- 145!
0:37:59 > 0:38:01- Are you ready for this?- Yes. - Yeah.- Good luck.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03- Are you ready for turnover? - Yes.- Yes.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07Contact, and here comes your first item.
0:38:07 > 0:38:11I have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 on the book.
0:38:11 > 0:38:15- Seven bids?- Oh, come on.- Internet is in. I am starting at 70.- Oh!
0:38:15 > 0:38:17- I've got 80, I've got 90, I've got 100...- Yes! Hey...

0:38:28 > 0:38:31- 140, all done.- It's taking off! - It's sold.
0:38:31 > 0:38:36- 140.- No way.- You guys!- £140. - You're an absolute genius.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38I cannot believe that, can you?
0:38:38 > 0:38:42- I can't.- That's plus 65. Now the binoculars.- Oh...
0:38:42 > 0:38:45They've got to make a five pound note.
0:38:45 > 0:38:46£2...
0:38:46 > 0:38:50- 3, 4, 5,- 6... Yes, come on!- Yay!

0:38:56 > 0:38:58£8 I'm bid. All done.
0:38:58 > 0:39:03- £8 is plus £3, which means you're plus 68.- Oh, come on.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06Now this cabinet has to make more than £15.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Little nice display cabinet. Done up, this would be good.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12This is all the rage. Commission bids are in. I'm straight in at £30.
0:39:12 > 0:39:17- Yes! Come on!- I don't believe it! - £30 a bid...
0:39:17 > 0:39:20- 40, £40 I'm bid.- Ooh.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22£40, £40, £40, £40...
0:39:22 > 0:39:27- £40 I'm bid... All done.- £40. - Sold at 40.
0:39:27 > 0:39:33£40 is plus £25, which is 68, 88, £93.
0:39:33 > 0:39:40£93. You spent £95 and you've made £93 profit on your £95.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43- Brilliant.- So how good's that? - Wow.- Brilliant.- I'm so happy.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45- Put it there. - Well, I'm so happy for you.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47So what are you going to do with this pig?
0:39:47 > 0:39:50Are you going to leave it in the sty or are you going to let it out?
0:39:50 > 0:39:53- We're going to leave it. - We're going to leave it.- Leave it? - Yeah.- We do like it...
0:39:53 > 0:39:55You said that's what you wanted so I got it
0:39:55 > 0:39:58- but I think you're absolutely right. - We've got £93.- Exactly.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01- You're not going with the bonus buy? - No.- Definitely not?- No.- OK.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04Well, we're going to sell it anyway and here it comes.
0:40:04 > 0:40:09Now we have the little silver pig novelty-shaped pincushion.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12Good bit of weight in this. Not a bad item at all. Commission bids are in.
0:40:12 > 0:40:18- Internet's in. 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80...- It's never going to make it...
0:40:18 > 0:40:22£80 bid. £80, with me at 80? £80, room's out now.
0:40:22 > 0:40:27- At 80... £90...- Yes!- ..in the room. 100, you're out.
0:40:27 > 0:40:32£90 bid. That's it, you're out. I'm in the room at 90. £90.
0:40:32 > 0:40:36At £90 in the room. 90 in the room...
0:40:36 > 0:40:39- All done.- Happy days.- Sold at 90.
0:40:39 > 0:40:43- Well, there you go.- I don't even care that this is going on TV now.
0:40:43 > 0:40:47Now listen, sold for £90 so that would have been minus £85.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49- You always had plus 93 so you'd still be in a little profit.- Yeah.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52But anyway, you didn't go with the bonus buy. That's great.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56You have £93, you have a profit on all three items
0:40:56 > 0:40:59and you mustn't say a word to the girls, all right?
0:40:59 > 0:41:01- Not a word.- Not a word? OK. - Mum's the word.
0:41:08 > 0:41:12- Well, this is fun, isn't it? Been chatting?- No.- Not about the score?
0:41:12 > 0:41:15- No.- Just as well really, isn't it?
0:41:15 > 0:41:19Cos there's a chasm between the teams
0:41:19 > 0:41:23and I'm afraid the team at the bottom of the deepest cavern
0:41:23 > 0:41:27- on Bargain Hunt just happen to be the Reds.- Whoo-hoo!
0:41:27 > 0:41:31- Minus £145...- Whoo! - ..is a fair old pit, isn't it?
0:41:31 > 0:41:36- I think we did well to lose that much.- Well, you certainly did well.
0:41:36 > 0:41:41It was £105 on that Romanian chest-on-bureau job.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43- That just scuppered, didn't it? - Yeah. Bad idea.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45And after that it was difficult to recover.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48I'm not going to go through the rest of these dribbling scores
0:41:48 > 0:41:52- apart from praising Tom for his £10 profit...- Oh, thank you.- Yeah!
0:41:52 > 0:41:55- ..on the bonus buy.- That spoon was the best spoon I've ever seen.- Yeah.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57- You did well with that. - Clawed us back a bit.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00- You've had a great time?- Yeah. - Really good.- Jolly good. Thanks for joining us.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04But the team that is going home with money big time is the Blues.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08- £93. How about that?- Well done. - Thank you very much.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12You decided not to go with the bonus buy, which was your wisest move
0:42:12 > 0:42:17- of the day and you scored a profit on all three items...- Well done!
0:42:17 > 0:42:22..so membership of the Order of Golden Gavellers is coming your way.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25- Ooh, look at that!- There you go. Sean, that's yours.- Thank you.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27- There you go, Harry. - Thank you very much.
0:42:27 > 0:42:31- Here's for the drawer full of collectables.- Thank you, darling.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34So congratulations, that is a considerable achievement.
0:42:34 > 0:42:38£65 profit on the propeller.
0:42:38 > 0:42:42Solid start and from there you just built on it, didn't you?
0:42:42 > 0:42:46- Which is fantastic.- Yeah, really, really good.- Anyway, congratulations.
0:42:46 > 0:42:50We've had a great time. Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?
0:42:50 > 0:42:51Yes!
