0:00:02 > 0:00:04Today, Bargain Hunt is back in beautiful Northern Ireland,
0:00:04 > 0:00:08and we are in a curious village called Greyabbey.
0:00:09 > 0:00:14This tiny conurbation of about 1,000 folk
0:00:14 > 0:00:16doesn't have a post office,
0:00:16 > 0:00:19doesn't have a bank, it's got a pub,
0:00:19 > 0:00:23but extraordinarily, within the space of a few short yards,
0:00:23 > 0:00:28there's not one, there's not two, but there's ten antique shops.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30The sellers are ready to take their cash,
0:00:30 > 0:00:33and the teams are ready to spend it.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36So, let's go Bargain Hunting, yeah!
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Greyabbey is nestled on the dramatic
0:01:00 > 0:01:05coast of Strangford Lough, and takes its name from the ruined 12th century
0:01:05 > 0:01:10abbey at its heart, but there's no time to worship at the altar.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Our teams had £300
0:01:13 > 0:01:17and an hour to shop for their three items before going to auction,
0:01:17 > 0:01:22in the hope that this place doesn't finish up as being their graveyard.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Let's check out what's coming up.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29- The Reds are giving Jonathan a headache.- Maybe I should just let them buy it.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- Are you necessarily going to buy anything?- Yes, eventually.
0:01:32 > 0:01:33Oh, no!
0:01:35 > 0:01:38The Blues, on the other hand, are on a charm offensive.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Let's ask this very young gentleman here. You're fantastic!
0:01:41 > 0:01:44And at the auction, there's celebration...
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- Look at that, that's a profit. - TIM LAUGHS
0:01:47 > 0:01:49..and commiserations.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Oh, no.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Oh, can't bear it.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56But before all that, let's meet the teams.
0:01:56 > 0:02:01So, we have four wonderful people today, full of Irish charm.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05For the Reds, we have father and daughter, John and Deborah.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09And for the Blues, we have fiances Joanne and James.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- Hello, everyone.- ALL: Hello. - Brilliant to see you.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Now, John, you've had an incredibly responsible job,
0:02:14 > 0:02:17because you've run the ambulance brigade here for years.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21I started off as an ambulance man and finished 25 years
0:02:21 > 0:02:23later as the chief ambulance officer in the northern area.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27Through a dark period in Northern Ireland's history.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31But in a developing time, when we brought the ambulance service
0:02:31 > 0:02:34from the first aid, right through to the full ambulance aid we have today.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- Brilliant.- A very rewarding time.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40Have you had any dramas in your early days driving ambulances?
0:02:40 > 0:02:44Yes, we had the usual, delivering babies.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Many a night. One night it happened in the snow, we set out for the hospital.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50The conditions got a bit worse, and
0:02:50 > 0:02:53the wee girl decided it was time she was going to come into the world.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55So we pulled into the side of the road and
0:02:55 > 0:02:58basically let nature take its course.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Now, John, you have a particular interest in lorries.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Yes, particularly old lorries. Came from the time when I was in school.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07One of the boys, his dad drove a lorry.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11And always pertained this interest in old lorries, and still to this day.
0:03:11 > 0:03:16Now, Deborah, apparently you are able to combine your hobby
0:03:16 > 0:03:20- with your father's passion. - I am, yes.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24For the past year or so, I've started to make novelty cakes.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25So for my dad's last birthday,
0:03:25 > 0:03:28I made him a lovely branded lorry cake.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30- Did you?- Yes.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34- It was named the Nora Maggie, after my mother.- Right.- As they all have their little names.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37- And did it have the company livery and everything?- Oh, yes. It was all done out,
0:03:37 > 0:03:41every little letter cut out painstakingly, took me hours.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Any particular type of cake you like to make?
0:03:44 > 0:03:47I'm up for making any type of cake, but one of the most popular
0:03:47 > 0:03:51ones I've had to make recently is for Frozen.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- All the kids love Frozen. - What is frozen cake?- It is a film.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58It's a film. OK, get with it, Dadio, Grandpa.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00- All the kids love Frozen. - Oh, really.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02So how are you going to get on on Bargain Hunt today?
0:04:02 > 0:04:07Leave the money to Dad? You do the picking and he does the paying?
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- It is usually the way. - Is it?- It is the best way.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13It is the best way. What are fathers for? It is just the best.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17It is just the best. Good. Now, Joanne, you are recently engaged.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- We are, yes.- So, congratulations on that.- Thank you very much.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- But you had a rather special proposal.- It was, yes.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25My birthday was in January, I always wanted to go to
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Paris, so James kindly took me away.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33- In the evening time, we took a boat cruise down the River Seine.- Oh, lovely.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35We went in under the love lock bridge.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Earlier on we put a wee lock on the bridge.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42And, earlier on, I had felt the box in James's pocket.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45And he told me it was earrings, so I believed him.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49And when we were going under the bridge, he pulled out the wee ring,
0:04:49 > 0:04:53and I was very disappointed I never got my earrings.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- But you got an engagement ring. - I did, it was brilliant.
0:04:56 > 0:05:01- And you immediately said yes? - I had to. I had to to get home.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- That is sweet. You won't ever forget that, will you? - No, it was brilliant.
0:05:04 > 0:05:09And talking about special things, you did some amazing stuff in 2012.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12I did, yes. I was a volunteer at London Olympics.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15I was in charge of looking after people's mobility needs.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17I was hiring out mobility scooters, wheelchairs,
0:05:17 > 0:05:22driving wee golf buggies and stuff. It was fantastic, best time ever.
0:05:22 > 0:05:23Now, it says here, James,
0:05:23 > 0:05:26that you earn your crust in food manufacturing.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- But you also make a bit on the side at the auction room.- Well, I'm sure,
0:05:29 > 0:05:32as you know, online selling is very popular at the minute.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36And I try to look for other people's weaknesses in their listings.
0:05:36 > 0:05:41- Mis-descriptions.- Yes, stuff like that. I'm a real devil for that, you know.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43I look for other people's faults.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46But I don't want to give too many of my secrets away.
0:05:46 > 0:05:47OK, fine. We'll keep quiet about that.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50But what are your areas of specialisation?
0:05:50 > 0:05:55Well, I'm a big music fan. And vinyl has become very popular again now.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58There's more independent record shops opening.
0:05:58 > 0:06:03So I keep my eye open for different records, vinyl,
0:06:03 > 0:06:05that I know that are good sellers.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08What are you going to be buying for today's show?
0:06:08 > 0:06:12- Well, Joanne, she likes silvery type things.- Bling.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14I'm like a magpie, yes.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17I'd have a bit of an interest in local history and things
0:06:17 > 0:06:20like that, so I'll keep my eye open for something along those lines.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22And are you going to spend all your cash?
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- I'm good at getting people down, I think I can work my magic.- OK.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26Well, good luck with that.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30Now, talking about magic, here comes the £300.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- £300.- Thank you very much.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35You know the rules, your experts await, and off you go,
0:06:35 > 0:06:37and very, very, very good luck.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41The teams won't go it alone out there in Greyabbey.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44They've got two humble experts to help.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Never one to blow his own trumpet, Jonathan Pratt
0:06:46 > 0:06:48will be with the Reds.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53And for the Blues, is it a bird, is it a plane?
0:06:53 > 0:06:55No, it's David Harper.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Have you got a team tactic today?
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Well, hopefully, we want to pick one each
0:07:03 > 0:07:05and then one for the three of us together.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- And if not, relied highly on your advice.- What are we going to buy?
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Well, I think I'm going
0:07:10 > 0:07:13to have my eye open for some Northern Ireland history, may be militaria.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17I don't want to give you £250 back to go and spend on something.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21I want to spend. Maybe more shiny, something silver, something shiny.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24OK, teams, wakey wakey,
0:07:24 > 0:07:26your 60 minutes starts now.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28- ALARM RINGS - Oh!
0:07:28 > 0:07:31That red door contains treasure. Let's go and find it.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35I think we should start Bargain Hunting.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39The town is your oyster, teams. So get stuck in.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41You don't hang around, do you?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Is she like this everywhere she goes shopping?
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- You've got your hands full today. - Oh, my gosh.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50You want to have something that shouts, "I've bought you!"
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- Tell us why you like that. - Because it is shiny.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54SHE LAUGHS
0:07:54 > 0:07:58- So you are into sort of fashion... - I am.- ..films and things like that.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- I'm also into things that are very tacky.- Very?- Tacky.- Tacky.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03What you probably didn't want to hear.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Oh, dear, I can't see these two getting on.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- Look at that horse, isn't...- You like that?- What do you think of this?
0:08:10 > 0:08:14- The truncheon?- Yeah.- OK, this is more your sort of thing then, is it?
0:08:14 > 0:08:18It's slightly worrying, really, isn't it? If we're honest.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21The truncheons that have a value are the painted ones.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24If you've got one relating to a police station, it is dated,
0:08:24 > 0:08:27it is really fascinating, and there are collectors.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30It is telling us nothing, it is just a plain truncheon.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34Fair cop, David, at least we know what floats James's boat.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Meanwhile, the Reds have found something small
0:08:36 > 0:08:38but perfectly formed.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42- The box says brand-new, have you had the box done?- 1970s it is.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- OK, so this is the original box? - It is the original box.- OK.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48So you've got... It is a four-piece tea service, or tea and coffee service, as it were.
0:08:48 > 0:08:53Hot water, tea, sugar bowl, cream or milk. And then a tray.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56And it is Birmingham D, which is...
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- 1978.- 1978.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03- What's the price on that?- The death on it is 140.- OK.
0:09:03 > 0:09:08- It's nice.- It is nice. - With something like that, you just discount completely however
0:09:08 > 0:09:11much silver there is in it, because it's probably not even an ounce.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14It's about the workmanship, it's about the novelty value.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18But is it worth it 100 more than £150 at auction?
0:09:18 > 0:09:21It's a really interesting little thing, but... You're quiet.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- I...- Come in on it, Deb.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27It is nice, it is quite small and cute, but...
0:09:27 > 0:09:31- I'd be worried about spending nearly half of your budget on the first item.- We'll call back.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33We'll come back, thanks a lot.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37They're playing it safe now, but time's ticking.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41She's found something a bit blingy. Oh, surprise, surprise.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- Quite interesting, them wee ones there.- They look a bit new to me.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46This is the worry.
0:09:46 > 0:09:51Don't mind contemporary pieces, but they look a bit mass-produced new.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55Delicately done, David. So, how are those Reds getting on?
0:09:57 > 0:10:02- Hold on, Beatrix Potter stuff, she is mad about it.- Oh, are you?
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Alderman Ptolemy. Yeah.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07- Not my forte.- No.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10These are quite unusual.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- Out for a duck...playing cricket. - Oh, the skiing one is cool.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17- This skiing one, he's sloping off. - I'm only thinking for me, I love skiing.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21- I might just buy that for home. - Uh, that's not the idea, Jonathan.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Looks like the Blues have got an inquiry.
0:10:26 > 0:10:31- Shirley, what on earth is that?- I think it is some kind of exchange.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35You can imagine the operator putting the lines through to
0:10:35 > 0:10:40different rooms in an office or hotel or police station.
0:10:40 > 0:10:41It could be, it could be.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44It's got a bit of a Cold War feel to it, don't you think?
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Yeah, well, I hope it's warm enough for you to buy.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48THEY LAUGH
0:10:48 > 0:10:52Date wise, probably 1950s, something like that.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54All these switches would be very important.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58I'm a bit worried as to what the red one means.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00That could be, like, self-destruct or something.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03It's got a bit of James Bond theme going here, I feel.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Guys, what do you think "Dictograph" means here?
0:11:06 > 0:11:08It is just the brand, it is the make.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12That's it, it's the model, if you like. It's got a great feel to that.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16- Just have a feel of that, Joanne. - Oh, that is really heavy.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20- That's what you call a traditional telephone.- Uh-huh.- Yeah.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Not like a mobile.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25It is very different to the mobiles you get nowadays, isn't it?
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Do you think, if we plugged this in, we could get it working?
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Plug it in, James, yes.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32You might as well plug it in, press the red button and say goodbye.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- THEY LAUGH - Because that is a danger.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38It would never, ever be a functioning piece of kit, it would
0:11:38 > 0:11:40cost you an enormous amount of money to get that thing working,
0:11:40 > 0:11:42and you would never want it to.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45As it states here, "strange phone."
0:11:45 > 0:11:47There is a price beside here of 85.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51- Yeah.- What about offering us a "strange" price for it?
0:11:51 > 0:11:53THEY LAUGH
0:11:53 > 0:11:55- Well, what we thinking of? - What do you think?
0:11:55 > 0:11:58£40.
0:12:00 > 0:12:01- Yeah.- 40? JOANNE:- Really?
0:12:01 > 0:12:05- You're fantastic. - STALLHOLDER:- Good to have you in.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Shirley, thank you. It looks like we've bought a very strange phone.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- Thank you very much. - JOANNE LAUGHS
0:12:13 > 0:12:17What a bunch of smooth operators, eh?
0:12:17 > 0:12:20The same cannot be said about the Reds.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22I do like them, but only because they are very tacky.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24They are very modern, aren't they?
0:12:24 > 0:12:26I was hoping to see some little holes in the top,
0:12:26 > 0:12:30thinking they were salts and peppers. Have a bit of cat on your dinner.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- I prefer this cat.- You prefer that cat. Meow!
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Have they all gone cat mad?
0:12:35 > 0:12:39- That's a spectacular cat.- That's the tackiest cat I think I've ever seen.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44I'm just saying I like cats, I don't necessarily want to buy the cat.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- Are you necessarily going to buy anything?- Yes, eventually.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Deborah is not finding this easy.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54I'm torn because I really want to buy something of the cat, but...
0:12:54 > 0:12:57will it sell? Probably not.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01They do pick up a lot of things, and then I have to think, "Oh, really?"
0:13:01 > 0:13:05- Maybe I should just let them buy it. - Time is pressing on.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09Hopefully my partner here will decide to say yes to something.
0:13:09 > 0:13:14- Maybe.- Maybe. I've got a strong "maybe", so I'm confident.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17With half an hour gone, the Blues are on the up.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20- There's stuff galore, it's amazing, isn't it?- Isn't it?
0:13:20 > 0:13:24An eagle-eyed James has spotted a painted truncheon.
0:13:24 > 0:13:29It's got the letters SC inscribed on it, 1868.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32I was thinking the SC, maybe it's Special Constabulary which would've
0:13:32 > 0:13:34been one of the forces that would've been here.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36That's fascinating because you've got the local history
0:13:36 > 0:13:39which is what you're interested in and what you were looking for.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43That is a mid-Victorian piece.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46It's black, it was a very fashionable colour around that time anyway.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49- Gorgeous handle, feel it.- It's lovely.- It is tactile, isn't it?
0:13:49 > 0:13:51- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53It's missing a lot of its paint here.
0:13:53 > 0:13:54I wonder why?
0:13:54 > 0:13:56It's been clunking people.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- It's a lovely thing. It's a lovely thing.- I really like it.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02What price is it?
0:14:02 > 0:14:05I suppose the best price on that is 70...
0:14:05 > 0:14:06£60.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Well, us being poor, rural Fermanagh folk,
0:14:09 > 0:14:12we were wondering could drop it down any more than that?
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Another fiver, 55. That's me, I think I'm getting my money back.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18- Which I need badly! That's it. - No, that's brilliant.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21That's brilliant, thank you very much. What do you reckon?
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Yeah, 55. Yeah, let's go for it.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Shall we say it's our second purchase?
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Shake the man's hand, then.
0:14:28 > 0:14:29Thank you very much.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33Well done, James and Joanne. Two items bought already.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36They work very well as a team but the two purchases we've got
0:14:36 > 0:14:39so far are very male orientated,
0:14:39 > 0:14:42man-tiques that's what they are through and through
0:14:42 > 0:14:44and Joanne talks about shiny things,
0:14:44 > 0:14:47glittery things, silvery things, blingy.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49That's what we've got to find.
0:14:49 > 0:14:54We've got to get Joanne something bling to make it the perfect day.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58Definitely not having the perfect day is team Red
0:14:58 > 0:15:00who still haven't bought anything.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02- I think we're kind of done in here.- Right.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04We really need to decide,
0:15:04 > 0:15:06are we going to take that tea service at £140?
0:15:06 > 0:15:10- It's kind of...- 25 minutes, 25 minutes...- Let's go, 25 minutes.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12That's definitely not the tea service?
0:15:12 > 0:15:14- Definitely not.- Definitely not?
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- I would love to buy it.- If you want to buy it...- It's bought.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19I'm confused!
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Are they buying it, or not?
0:15:22 > 0:15:25So, John, last chance.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27I love it. I do love it.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Then just get it.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31- Just buy it.- 140?
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- £140.- That'll do us.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37A brave move, well done, John. One in the bag.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Thank heavens for that!
0:15:39 > 0:15:43Now something I found in Greyabbey that might be a pipe dream.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54You find some funny old things over here in Ulster.
0:15:54 > 0:15:55What about this?
0:15:55 > 0:15:58It appeals to my quirky sense of humour.
0:15:58 > 0:16:03Technically, this thing is an Edwardian pipe rack
0:16:03 > 0:16:08but what's fun about is that it's in the form of an outsized pipe
0:16:08 > 0:16:11that's been cut in half so that the flat back
0:16:11 > 0:16:14could be screwed to a wall.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17The idea being that if you are a pipe smoker,
0:16:17 > 0:16:20you would have at least two or three pipes on the go
0:16:20 > 0:16:24at any time because they get impregnated with nicotine
0:16:24 > 0:16:28and saliva and they need time to rest.
0:16:28 > 0:16:33That's the idea of having a pipe rack that would've stored
0:16:33 > 0:16:36a number of pipes for an individual smoker.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38What lovely about it is, it's made of beech wood.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41The beech wood has been turned on the lathe
0:16:41 > 0:16:44and then the stem cut out of a single piece
0:16:44 > 0:16:49and down at this end is where the amber mouthpiece might have been,
0:16:49 > 0:16:52which has simply been covered in black paint.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Is this sort of thing collectable?
0:16:54 > 0:16:58Well, it is to those people who collect nicotiana,
0:16:58 > 0:17:00anything connected with smoking.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04In particular there's a breed of collectors who love this stuff
0:17:04 > 0:17:06and they live in America.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09They call this tobacco shop ware.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11What's it worth?
0:17:11 > 0:17:16Well, £25 is the asking price here in Greyabbey.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19What might it be worth on one of those sites
0:17:19 > 0:17:22that specialises in smoking ephemera,
0:17:22 > 0:17:24perhaps as much as 200.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Stick that in your pipe and smoke it!
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Back to bargain-hunting.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33The Reds still have two to buy but the Blues remain smooth operators
0:17:33 > 0:17:35with a clear vision for their final item.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39I think we'd both go home with a smile on our face
0:17:39 > 0:17:41if we could get a nice piece of silver for Joanne.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Well, good luck with that.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Meanwhile, Jonathan has a burning question for Deborah.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49What else do you like other than tacky?
0:17:49 > 0:17:50THEY LAUGH
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Nicely put, JP.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55- Would you like...- It was my words.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59Do you like cats, do you like colour?
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Cats, tackiness and pattern.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- So I quite like the pattern on this little box.- What is this?
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Careful with it.
0:18:08 > 0:18:09Nice, little box.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11- It's a box.- It's just a box.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14No surprises there, really.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- And you like it because... - Of the pattern.- The pattern.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- Well, it's lacquer.- Mm-hm.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Erm, it's shellac, basically.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25- It's the Japanese way of finishing decorative boxes.- OK.
0:18:25 > 0:18:30And they use a lacquer to get this high lustre.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33It was very popular in the 19th century, as well.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36This is obviously '20s, this geometry.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40- It's taking a Victorian fashion and bringing it up to date.- OK.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- There are one or two little knocks on the corners.- Yeah.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45If you bought it, what would you do with that?
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Probably sit on a shelf and gather dust.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Would you not to put things in it, dressing table, you know...
0:18:50 > 0:18:55A lot of people probably would but I'd just buy it for the pattern.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58It's quite a nice object. It's very, very deco.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00It's not a lot of money.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03It's good to just take something and go, "I really like that."
0:19:03 > 0:19:05- Do you like it?- I do, I do really.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09- There you are, then. Then, go.- Have a negotiate.- OK.- There you go.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13The ticket price is £22, what deal will Deborah do?
0:19:13 > 0:19:15I just saw this wee box.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18I was just wondering what kind of price you could do me for on that?
0:19:18 > 0:19:20OK. Um, 15?
0:19:20 > 0:19:24- 15.- I thought it was mid 1920s, 30s. - Mm-hm.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26It's just a lovely wee pattern there.
0:19:26 > 0:19:2822 down to 15.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32I'm not even going to answer. I think I might just go for it.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- Great, OK.- Shall we do a deal?- Yeah.
0:19:34 > 0:19:35Thank you very much.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- Did I just hear you say handshake? - I did.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40- How much was it? - I got it down to 15.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Oh, very good. That's two bought now.
0:19:43 > 0:19:44We don't have long.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Hand it over, let's get shopping, let's go to the cells.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51Cells? Oh, yes, this shop used to be a police station.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Well, the Reds are certainly good at doing time!
0:19:54 > 0:19:56And they haven't got much left.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58This is the old cell, I'm thinking.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00The doors have gone.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Now it's all of the 19th-century tea wares have been
0:20:03 > 0:20:06banished into this room.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Lock up the door and throw away the key!
0:20:08 > 0:20:09You said it!
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Right, we want silver. Have you got any silver?
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Oh, cabinets of silver.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16It's your lucky day, Joanne.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Tell me why you like that, then?
0:20:20 > 0:20:22It silver, obviously.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24There's a wee mirror in it, so it's kind of girlie, as well.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27- It's pretty funky. - OK, do you know what it is?
0:20:27 > 0:20:29- A mirror.- A compact.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31A compact, how come you know it's a compact
0:20:31 > 0:20:33and you don't know it's a compact?
0:20:33 > 0:20:35What you think the D on the front would mean?
0:20:35 > 0:20:39- It stands for me, you're going to buy it as a gift for me, David. - It's David's compact.- Yeah.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42OK, so that's what it is. It's a lady's compact.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45She was probably called Deirdre, or something.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47It's machine turned on the top there,
0:20:47 > 0:20:50can you see, that's where you would refer to that decoration.
0:20:50 > 0:20:51So open it up.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54There's your mirror. What does that say there?
0:20:54 > 0:20:58- "18th of April '47."- How lovely.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00- Just after the Second World War. - It's pretty old.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03- There are your hallmarks, can you see?- Oh, yeah.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07- That an anchor, so made in Birmingham.- Oh, right.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11You open up the second compartment and that's where you keep, James?
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Foundation powder.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15It's worrying, isn't it?
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Isn't it, I've taught him well. I've taught him well.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19Now what's the condition like?
0:21:19 > 0:21:23- I've got to say it looks pretty good. - Yeah.- Do you like it?
0:21:23 > 0:21:26I do. It silver, it's a mirror, it's girlie, I love it.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Let's ask this very young gentleman here.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Well, it's listed at 40.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32What's the best you can do on that?
0:21:32 > 0:21:37- I must have been generous that day, I could do 34.- 34.
0:21:37 > 0:21:38What about 25?
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- I could do it for 30.- 30? - Yeah, I would do 30 for it.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44- Yeah.- OK, that's brilliant. - Thank you.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Hurray!
0:21:46 > 0:21:51That's all three items bought with plenty of time to spare.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53You deserve a great big slap-up lunch.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56- Are you buying?- I'm buying. - Let's go.- Let's go.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Oh, not so smooth with the high fives.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05But at least they're done which is more than can be said of the Reds.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09We've got about eight minutes and eight minutes is no time at all.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12We're going to have to run.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Next shop, out the door and straight down.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Come on, chaps, the pressure's on.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Get into it, come on.
0:22:31 > 0:22:32That catches my eye.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35You see lots of ceramics, you just don't see the old stuff.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38This is a really nice tea bowl and saucer.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42It's late 18th century, OK.
0:22:42 > 0:22:47It's got a little hairline crack in it. It's lasted for 240 years.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50What do you think, guys, of this?
0:22:50 > 0:22:51It's pretty.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53It's got a nice pattern on it.
0:22:53 > 0:22:54English, hand-painted,
0:22:54 > 0:22:57hand-decorated in sort of a famille rose pallet,
0:22:57 > 0:22:59inspired from the Chinese.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01- The label says...?- £33.- £33.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04Shall we go for it?
0:23:04 > 0:23:06- I think we'll just go for it. - I think so.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09- Do we have a choice? - At this point, not.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12I can put it back, we've got two more minutes to start looking.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14- No.- I don't think I could handle...- Talk to the lady.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16I think we need to talk to the lady.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Would you do it for £20?
0:23:18 > 0:23:20No.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23- 23.- 23, I'm not a fan of odd numbers.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Oh, no!
0:23:25 > 0:23:27£22.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29- OK.- Thank you very much.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32- BELL RINGS - Teams, your time is up.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34It's an open and shut case.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36- Well done, well done.- Thanks.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Yeah, hugs all round.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Now let's remind ourselves what they bought.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45This gorgeous, miniature silver tea set
0:23:45 > 0:23:48cost the Reds a princely £140.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53But the 1920s box came in rather cheaper at £15.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Finally, the English cup and saucer has serious age
0:23:59 > 0:24:02with a little damage and set them back £22.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06What was the fun, fun bit for you, Debs?
0:24:06 > 0:24:08- Oh, the panic at the end.- Was it?
0:24:08 > 0:24:11- And your favourite piece would be? - The box.- The box is your favourite?
0:24:11 > 0:24:13- Yes.- Do you agree with that, Dad.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16- No, Dad fancies the wee silver miniatures we bought.- OK.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Are they going to bring the biggest profit?
0:24:18 > 0:24:21- I think Jonathan's wee cup and saucer will make it.- Do you?
0:24:21 > 0:24:25- Do agree with that, Debs?- I think so.- Best always to agree with dad.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28OK, so you spent in toto how much, Debs?
0:24:28 > 0:24:30- 177.- 177.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32I'd like 123, please.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34123.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36- What could be easier than that?- 123.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38One, two, three, JP.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40- Fantastic.- What's your plan, Jonathan?
0:24:40 > 0:24:44Ah, let's just say I didn't get a picture of what they liked
0:24:44 > 0:24:47all the way through the shopping experience.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51Colourful and tacky was Deborah's.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54I don't know. Anything will suit, I think.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- Exactly. Just something that makes a profit, please.- Yeah.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59We need it.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00Anyway, good fun.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04Why don't we right now though check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Is there anyone there?
0:25:06 > 0:25:09This strange vintage telephone exchange
0:25:09 > 0:25:12was dialled up by the Blues for £40.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17The Victorian truncheon tells a story, at £55.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21And for £30, Joanne found her bit of bling.
0:25:23 > 0:25:28- OK, which is your favourite piece? James?- Me, would be the truncheon.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30- Truncheon is favourite?- Yes.- OK. Do you agree with that?
0:25:30 > 0:25:32No, I like the telephone.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35I like the telephone, it's very quirky, it's different.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36Will it bring the biggest profit?
0:25:36 > 0:25:38No, I think the silver might do that,
0:25:38 > 0:25:40we got the silver for a good price.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43You spent 125, I'd like £175 of leftover lolly, please.
0:25:43 > 0:25:44There it is, there.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Which goes straight over to the maestro, there you go, David.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Now, David, £175, what are you going to spend it on?
0:25:50 > 0:25:53It's got to be something historical, sparkly
0:25:53 > 0:25:55- and hopefully profitable. - TIM WHEEZES
0:25:55 > 0:25:59Good on you, David. Anyway, good fun, thanks, and good luck, David.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Meanwhile, we're going to gird up our loins, if we've got any,
0:26:01 > 0:26:05and head off, hopefully, to Ross' auction in sunny Belfast.
0:26:07 > 0:26:12'This central Belfast saleroom has been around for over 75 years
0:26:12 > 0:26:15'and today, we're meeting up with Daniel Clarke
0:26:15 > 0:26:18'for a chinwag about our items.'
0:26:18 > 0:26:20- Daniel, good morning.- Good morning.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Well, we've got a nice mixture, look.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26Kicking off with a lovely little boxed miniature
0:26:26 > 0:26:28tea and coffee set. How do you rate that?
0:26:28 > 0:26:33I think it's absolutely delightful and it's surprisingly heavy,
0:26:33 > 0:26:35the silver, it's not in any way tinny.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39Hallmark, Birmingham, probably around 1970.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43I think a lot of people are going to like this. Um...
0:26:43 > 0:26:46£80 to £100, could do a little better.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Needs to be, cos they spent £140, but I can't blame them for that
0:26:49 > 0:26:52because I think it is so perfect and ready to go,
0:26:52 > 0:26:54you would get slightly carried away. Who knows?
0:26:54 > 0:26:57- That may happen in the auction room, which would be lovely.- Exactly.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01Next is the wee lacquered box,
0:27:01 > 0:27:04which I have to say, in terms of the design, I rather like.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08Yes, it has obviously an Oriental feel to it,
0:27:08 > 0:27:12but in terms of the shape and the lacquer,
0:27:12 > 0:27:14but, probably European.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18I don't know really what it is for, maybe a little sewing box.
0:27:18 > 0:27:19Handkerchiefs?
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- Possibly.- Silk squares? Something like that?- Possibly. Ten, £20?
0:27:22 > 0:27:25OK, £15 was paid. So, that's fine.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Then we've got the tea bowl and saucer,
0:27:27 > 0:27:29that looks a bit like Newhall to me,
0:27:29 > 0:27:32copying the Chinese, but definitely English.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Yes, in pretty good condition.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37I think there's a little hairline crack in the cup,
0:27:37 > 0:27:41which is going to perhaps have an effect on the bidding,
0:27:41 > 0:27:44- but 20 to £30.- Yeah, well, that's amazing, isn't it?
0:27:44 > 0:27:4820 to £30 for a bit of late 18th century ceramic.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51They paid £22 for it, so they paid the right price.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Just the dodgy one being the silver set in the case
0:27:54 > 0:27:56and on that basis they may need their bonus buy,
0:27:56 > 0:27:58so let's go and have a look at it.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03So, what did Jonathan Pratt spend £123 on? JP.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06It's one of my favourite expert buys.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09- Oh!- Ooh. Oh, my God.- Look at that.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13This chap here, this is Mr O'Brien,
0:28:13 > 0:28:15and he's The Irish Giant,
0:28:15 > 0:28:20the tallest man in the known world, nine feet high.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23OK, this is an engraving, it's by a chap called John Kay,
0:28:23 > 0:28:25who was a caricaturist.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28This was done in 1803
0:28:28 > 0:28:31and this is an original engraving. I love it.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34And if you don't, I can take it home myself...
0:28:34 > 0:28:35LAUGHTER
0:28:35 > 0:28:38My thought was, if it didn't sell, could I have it? Because it's very pretty.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40- It's quirky.- Isn't it?
0:28:40 > 0:28:44What's great about it, JP, I think, is the mixture of techniques
0:28:44 > 0:28:46in preparing the printer's plate,
0:28:46 > 0:28:48- because you've got a bit of etching...- Yeah.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52..you've got a bit of warmed resin on the surface.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55He's used some techniques to give you lots of colour.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58You can't believe that's all black ink, really, can you?
0:28:58 > 0:29:02- What did we pay for it? - What did you pay for it? Well...
0:29:02 > 0:29:03You gave me quite a lot of money,
0:29:03 > 0:29:07I did a bit of negotiating and I got it for £35.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10- Oh, well, OK.- It's a bargain. - I hope so, I hope so.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Engraving's not necessarily the biggest and most expensive objects,
0:29:13 > 0:29:15but I think novelty will sell it this time.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17I think the strength of the image is there,
0:29:17 > 0:29:19but whether the buyers will be about is another matter,
0:29:19 > 0:29:22so you have to weigh all that up before you pick, team.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25Right now, for the benefit of the audience at home,
0:29:25 > 0:29:29let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about JP's engraving.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32Right, Daniel, that's rather a good object, isn't it?
0:29:32 > 0:29:33It's in lovely condition.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35I think it's probably been cut down,
0:29:35 > 0:29:40- from perhaps a magazine, or something like that.- Mm-hm.
0:29:40 > 0:29:41Mr O'Brien,
0:29:41 > 0:29:46apparently he was one of only 16 people in medical history
0:29:46 > 0:29:48back in 1804
0:29:48 > 0:29:52to have reached the height of eight feet or more,
0:29:52 > 0:29:55so he would've been a character
0:29:55 > 0:29:58that people would've have known about in those days.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Yes. An amazing object. What do you think it's worth?
0:30:00 > 0:30:0220 to £30, maybe?
0:30:02 > 0:30:05It's in nice condition and nice, clean frame on it.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09Yes. Anyway, JP liked it, he paid £35 and is hoping for a profit.
0:30:09 > 0:30:10Who knows?
0:30:10 > 0:30:15It might find a buyer with a Mr O'Brien here in Northern Ireland.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22You've got the operator's telephonic substation here.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25It does have a quite modern look about it.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28It is 1930s, so it would've been extremely modern at that time.
0:30:28 > 0:30:29It's got a bit of a look.
0:30:29 > 0:30:34There will be people out there and I could see it making 40, maybe £60.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38OK, £40 was paid, so they'll be well pleased with that
0:30:38 > 0:30:41if you can get 40 back for it. Next is the truncheon.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45I think this may very well be reproduction.
0:30:45 > 0:30:46- Do you?- I do.
0:30:46 > 0:30:51I think it is an ebonised softwood. There's no weight at all in it.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55OK. That rather kills it, or should one say, knocks it on the head.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57- DANIEL LAUGHS - So, how much?
0:30:57 > 0:30:59- I think 20 to £30.- Do you?
0:30:59 > 0:31:02They paid 55 and I think that's a big old lump off.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Next is the silver powder compact
0:31:04 > 0:31:07and I've noticed over the years that these things,
0:31:07 > 0:31:11the, sort of ladies accoutrement,
0:31:11 > 0:31:14has risen in value tremendously.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17- Do you rate that?- Well, the enamel ones are very popular.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20This is silver. It is...
0:31:20 > 0:31:231946, the date. Birmingham.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26But the date engraved here is 1947,
0:31:26 > 0:31:30so that is the date that it has been presented.
0:31:30 > 0:31:3230 to £40?
0:31:32 > 0:31:35- It might do slightly better than that.- OK, fine, £30 paid.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37So, there's some hope there.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40But the number that's going to drag them back, apparently,
0:31:40 > 0:31:42is the truncheon, if anything drags them back.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45So, let's go and have a look at the bonus buy.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48You managed to spend £125,
0:31:48 > 0:31:50- EXAGGERATED FRENCH ACCENT - you gave David Harper
0:31:50 > 0:31:52£175. David, what did you buy?
0:31:52 > 0:31:54Well, I couldn't resist this, Tim.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58And I think it is so local...
0:31:58 > 0:32:00- it's unbelievable...- Mm-hm. - JOANNE LAUGHS
0:32:00 > 0:32:02Stop laughing.
0:32:02 > 0:32:06It's a gorgeous shape, it's made out of beech.
0:32:06 > 0:32:11It's very tactile, it's a piece of art sculpture
0:32:11 > 0:32:14and it was made for...
0:32:14 > 0:32:17- Ah.- ..the Cunard White Star Line. - Ah...
0:32:17 > 0:32:20Which really, for someone from Belfast, should send
0:32:20 > 0:32:22- shivers up the back of your spine.- Yes, brilliant.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25- So local it's unbelievable.- Mm.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28- I think they're still in operation today.- Yes, Cunard, yes. Of course.
0:32:28 > 0:32:33The White Star Line is particularly associated with Titanic, of course,
0:32:33 > 0:32:38but the White Star Line and the Cunard Line joined forces in 1934,
0:32:38 > 0:32:42so this post-dates well and truly the Titanic thing,
0:32:42 > 0:32:46but it's still an iconic...brand.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49- Do you like it?- I really do. I thought he was trying to hang us out to dry.
0:32:49 > 0:32:50LAUGHTER
0:32:50 > 0:32:53- I think I probably will! - How much did it cost?
0:32:53 > 0:32:56Well, there's the tricky point. What do you think?
0:32:58 > 0:33:01- £50?- Yeah, very good. I paid 40.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03- Oh! Really?- Yes.
0:33:03 > 0:33:04It's just a coat hanger at the end of the day,
0:33:04 > 0:33:08- but it's got all of that... - Yeah.- ..emotional attachment.
0:33:08 > 0:33:09OK, team, let's find out
0:33:09 > 0:33:13whether the auctioneer's about to get hung up on this one.
0:33:13 > 0:33:19- OK, Daniel.- Right, the Cunard White Star Line.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21Made of beech wood.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25You'd maybe think it came out of the first-class cabin.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29Beautifully contoured here, to follow the line of the garment.
0:33:29 > 0:33:34I can see it in one of those great Louis Vuitton steamer trunks,
0:33:34 > 0:33:35- can't you?- Yes.
0:33:35 > 0:33:40Where you hang garments inside the most enormous piece of luggage.
0:33:40 > 0:33:41Yes, exactly.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45Somebody probably paid 20, £30 for it.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Harper paid 40.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49I do not think he's going to make huge profits out of it,
0:33:49 > 0:33:54but let us hope for a few Titanic moments today at auction.
0:33:54 > 0:33:55- Exactly.- Thank you very much.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58Time for Daniel to take to the rostrum,
0:33:58 > 0:34:01and wield his gavel with glee.
0:34:01 > 0:34:02Selling.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05- 394.- Are you confident, John?
0:34:05 > 0:34:07- A bit worried about the silver. - Are you?
0:34:07 > 0:34:11- We paid a bit too much, but we like it.- You paid £140.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15Sort of doll's house type silver, really. And here we go.
0:34:15 > 0:34:22Lot 275, a miniature silver tea service on a tray,
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Birmingham hallmark, collectable little lot.
0:34:25 > 0:34:29Could we say £100, please? 50 anywhere?
0:34:29 > 0:34:33- I'm bid 50, thank you madam. 60.- Good.- 70.
0:34:33 > 0:34:3680. 90 here.
0:34:36 > 0:34:40£100, 110. 120.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43- £120... - Come on, one more bid, one more bid.
0:34:43 > 0:34:48All done? At £120.
0:34:48 > 0:34:49- It's OK.- Good.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52120, it's £20, it could've been worse, you're right.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54- 120 is minus 20.- Yeah.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56- He tried his best.- Now we're going to make it back.- Yes.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59The black lacquer work box with a geometric pattern.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01We'll say £20.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Ten, five I'm bid. Thank you, madam. £5 now.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07At £5 for the lacquered of box. Worth a bit more. Ten.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09Bidding, sir. 15.
0:35:09 > 0:35:13At £15. Any more? At £15, the box now.
0:35:13 > 0:35:17- At 20, new bidder.- Yes!- At 25.
0:35:17 > 0:35:18Try another.
0:35:18 > 0:35:22At £25, the bid's here at £25.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25Lovely buy, Debs. Well done, darling.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27- That's so good. - Style sells, there we are.
0:35:27 > 0:35:31Plus £10, you were minus 20, you're currently minus £10.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35The tea bowl and saucer,
0:35:35 > 0:35:38£30. 20, please. Ten, I'm bid, 15.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41£15, I'm bid now. At £15.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44- Go on, go on... - At £15, 20, thank you, madam.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47At £20, it's the lady's bid at 20.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49At £20, any more?
0:35:49 > 0:35:51At £20, I have...
0:35:51 > 0:35:53- Don't close.- With you, madam, at 20. All done?- No!
0:35:53 > 0:35:55At £20.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Agh! Oh, dear. Should've left the phone.
0:35:57 > 0:36:02It just goes to show, it's so cheap nowadays. Minus £2.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04So that's minus 12...
0:36:04 > 0:36:07Minus £12, team.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09Which is a sad reflection on things,
0:36:09 > 0:36:12- but are you going to go with the bonus buy?- Yes.- You are.- Definitely.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16You're going to go with Mr Kaye's caricature.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19The auctioneer loved it, he's put 20 to £30 on it.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22- Come and get me.- Gavin paid £35.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Got to make 40, 45, hasn't it?
0:36:24 > 0:36:26- Come on. It's got to make... - Anyway,
0:36:26 > 0:36:29we're going with the bonus buy, you've got to make £47.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31OK, well, watch it fly.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34Mr O'Brien, the Irish giant.
0:36:35 > 0:36:40It's an early 19th-century black and white engraving, dated...
0:36:40 > 0:36:42Ten, I'm bid. 15.
0:36:42 > 0:36:43£15 now.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45At £20, thank you.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47Bid's here at 20. Any more?
0:36:47 > 0:36:49- Come on.- At £20.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52Five, thank you. Try 30, sir. 30, I'm bid.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55At £30, with you, sir, at 30.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57It's Mr O'Brien, come on.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59At £30, I'm selling,
0:36:59 > 0:37:00you're all finished.
0:37:00 > 0:37:04- £30.- We lost on him.- £30 is minus 5.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06I mean, these losses are so tiny.
0:37:06 > 0:37:10The benchmark between profit and loss here is miniscule.
0:37:10 > 0:37:14- Sadly, that makes you minus £17. - I'm very sorry, guys.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16But don't worry about it
0:37:16 > 0:37:18- because this could be a winning score very easily.- You never know.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21Because the other team's going to suffer the same complaint,
0:37:21 > 0:37:22I bet you.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35- James, Joanna, have you any idea how the Red's got on?- No idea.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39- Did they look gloomy or do they look happy?- A little gloomy.
0:37:39 > 0:37:43A little gloomy. Ah, appearances can be so deceptive.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46OK, now, the dictograph operator substation,
0:37:46 > 0:37:50why did you go for that, James?
0:37:50 > 0:37:52Quirky. It's quirky. We liked it. It was quirky.
0:37:52 > 0:37:57It's different. I liked it. And we got it at a good price, I thought.
0:37:57 > 0:37:58£40 exactly.
0:37:58 > 0:38:03Quite a stylish bit of '30s kit and here it is. Putting you through.
0:38:03 > 0:38:08The dictograph operator's substation intercom phone.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11- Here we go. Here it comes. - The things we buy on this show!
0:38:11 > 0:38:13The things he buys on the show!
0:38:13 > 0:38:16Unusual lot. 20 I'm bid. Five.
0:38:16 > 0:38:17At £25.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20Go on. Go on.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23Bid's here at five. At £35.
0:38:23 > 0:38:2440 bid now.
0:38:24 > 0:38:2540! Yes!
0:38:25 > 0:38:28At £45. £50.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31That's a profit. Well done, Jim Bob.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34At £55. You all out at 55?
0:38:34 > 0:38:37And selling. At £55.
0:38:37 > 0:38:38All done.
0:38:38 > 0:38:42£55 is plus £15 and I admire your pluck.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44Now, the truncheon.
0:38:44 > 0:38:48Say £30. 20. Take ten to open. Five I'm bid.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50£5 I'm bid now for the truncheon.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53At £10 here. 15.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55At £15.
0:38:55 > 0:38:5620, new bidder.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58At £20.
0:38:58 > 0:39:03- Oh, come on.- Go on.- Darn it!
0:39:03 > 0:39:06All finished at £20.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09So that is minus 35.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13You had plus 15 which means you're minus 20.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15This is tough, this game.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19Now, we're going to make it all back on the compact. Let's powder up.
0:39:19 > 0:39:25A circular silver powder compact, Birmingham, 1946.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27Nice piece. Can we say £50, please?
0:39:27 > 0:39:30- Yes!- They haven't bid yet!
0:39:30 > 0:39:33Say 30? £30, anyone want to open, please?
0:39:33 > 0:39:36But he sows the seed of £50
0:39:36 > 0:39:40and, subliminally, that's in somebody's mind.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42At £30. Any more?
0:39:42 > 0:39:45At £30 for the silver compact.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48At 30. At £30. Five.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Yes. That's better. You're in profit. Well done, Joanne.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53At 45 at the back of the room. At £45 now.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56- Give us another one. Go on. - Go on, 50!
0:39:56 > 0:40:00All finished at £45?
0:40:00 > 0:40:01All done.
0:40:01 > 0:40:06That's good. That's £15. That's a good pick, Joanne. Plus 15.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09You were minus 20 and, overall, you are minus £5.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11- Not bad.- That's not bad.
0:40:11 > 0:40:12Now, what are we going to do
0:40:12 > 0:40:16about the old White Star Cunard combo hanger?
0:40:16 > 0:40:21- Minus 5 could be a winning score. - It could be. You are so right.
0:40:21 > 0:40:26- But we trust David.- Do you? - You do?- Yes.- Do you?
0:40:26 > 0:40:29- Do you fancy it, Joanne?- Yeah, I do. We do like it.- I know my place.
0:40:29 > 0:40:33He went with the truncheon and, well, that didn't turn out too good.
0:40:33 > 0:40:38This is the recipe for a long and successful partnership, I tell you.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41- Seriously, what are you going to do? Go with it?- Go with it.- Go with it.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44- Go with it, yeah.- Go with it. Go with the flow, I'd say.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46£30. 20. Ten. Thank you.
0:40:46 > 0:40:4815 I'm bid now for the coat hanger.
0:40:48 > 0:40:5120, thank you, madam. At £20.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53At £20, I have for the coat hanger.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Come on.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58At £20 for the coat hanger.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02Cunard White Star coat hanger. We have £20.
0:41:02 > 0:41:03Come on.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05You're all done at 20?
0:41:05 > 0:41:08You're all out at £20.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11Oh, I can't bear it, Dave. I can't bear it.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14£20 is minus 20.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17You were minus 5, you're now minus 25.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19Don't say a word to the Reds, though,
0:41:19 > 0:41:21and all will be revealed in a moment.
0:41:31 > 0:41:36Well, you could say that today's show has been dogged by misfortune.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39So much promise and opportunity
0:41:39 > 0:41:43that sadly failed to get commitment.
0:41:43 > 0:41:47Anyway, no team today, sadly, goes home with any profits
0:41:47 > 0:41:50and there is only £8 between the teams,
0:41:50 > 0:41:53so it's incredibly close,
0:41:53 > 0:41:55and we've had our ups and downs today
0:41:55 > 0:41:57and the team that is marginally behind
0:41:57 > 0:42:01just happens to be the Blues
0:42:01 > 0:42:05with a score of minus £25.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07I mean, it started so beautifully, didn't it?
0:42:07 > 0:42:10£15 for that lovely telephone gadget
0:42:10 > 0:42:12and the truncheon's not so hot,
0:42:12 > 0:42:16and then you did get a good profit on the powder compact,
0:42:16 > 0:42:18and then you went with the bonus buy
0:42:18 > 0:42:21and, anyway, it finished up as minus 25.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24Running up on Bargain Hunt is a special place to be,
0:42:24 > 0:42:27- isn't it, David?- Not really. - We've loved having you on the show
0:42:27 > 0:42:30and very good luck with your forthcoming nuptials
0:42:30 > 0:42:32and, anyway, thank you very much for joining us,
0:42:32 > 0:42:35but the victors today, who win by only losing £17,
0:42:35 > 0:42:38are the father and daughter combo from heaven.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40A lot of minus signs here.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42In fact, most of it's minus signs,
0:42:42 > 0:42:46apart from the lacquer box which was a rare ray of hope and success,
0:42:46 > 0:42:48so well done for that, Deborah.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Sadly, I'm not giving you any cash but congratulations
0:42:51 > 0:42:53and we've loved having you on the show.
