0:00:05 > 0:00:08Do you know the tale of Dick Whittington,
0:00:08 > 0:00:11the pauper who walked to London seeking fame and fortune
0:00:11 > 0:00:14and became Lord Mayor?
0:00:14 > 0:00:17Well, lots of places claim Dick as their own.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20That includes Whittington, near Oswestry,
0:00:20 > 0:00:24which is home to this spectacular castle.
0:00:24 > 0:00:28Legend has it that Dick used to play here as a child.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Well, I don't know about the truth of that,
0:00:30 > 0:00:33but what I do know is that unlike Dick Whittington,
0:00:33 > 0:00:35we're not heading off to the Smoke.
0:00:35 > 0:00:40Oh, no, we're heading to Oswestry Fair down the road.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43So let's go bargain hunting! Yeah!
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Dick Whittington went in search of riches,
0:01:11 > 0:01:15but here on Bargain Hunt, they get their riches right up front.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Well, £300 each, actually,
0:01:19 > 0:01:24but will they return as paupers, or with cash in their pockets?
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Let's find out. Let's see what's coming up.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31The ladies take charge of the Reds...
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- Do you do what your husband tells you?- No, I don't, at all.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36How did you spot that(?!)
0:01:36 > 0:01:38..the Blues dance their way to deals...
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- Yes!- Well, yes, that's wonderful.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44- ..there's ups and downs at the auction...- Go on!
0:01:44 > 0:01:46- Oh, no!- Yay!
0:01:49 > 0:01:53..and I'm flying high amongst some wonders of the sky,
0:01:53 > 0:01:57but before all that, let's meet our Bargain Hunters.
0:01:57 > 0:02:03On today's show, it's going to be a battle between the married couples.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05For the Reds, we have Sarah-Jane and Peter
0:02:05 > 0:02:08and for the Blues, we have Mary and Alan.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10- Hello, everyone! ALL:- Hello!
0:02:10 > 0:02:11That's very enthusiastic.
0:02:11 > 0:02:16Now, Sarah-Jane, how did you and Peter become Mr and Mrs?
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Well, I met Peter on a dating website...
0:02:19 > 0:02:21- Did you?- ..that I'd been on for a couple of years,
0:02:21 > 0:02:24but when he announced that he loved mountain climbing and walking
0:02:24 > 0:02:26and it was really important to him and he asked me
0:02:26 > 0:02:29the inevitable question of, "Do you like walking and climbing?",
0:02:29 > 0:02:30I felt I had to say yes.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32- And you don't? - I can't stand it.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34I think the furthest I've walked is to my fridge.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35- Really?- Yeah.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37So he said, "What mountains have you climbed up?"
0:02:37 > 0:02:40I said, "Oh, Snowdon," cos that was the only one I could think of.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Then after a year, he was so excited,
0:02:42 > 0:02:45he surprised me and took me to Tryfan in North Wales,
0:02:45 > 0:02:47which was a clamber-up mountain,
0:02:47 > 0:02:48not a walk-up mountain.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50The top half was covered in snow.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54I kept going, but I broke my foot, I smashed my knee, I fell.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58- Oh, dear.- In the end, we sat waiting for mountain rescue
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- for about five hours, was it? - We did, yes.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Singing Help, by The Beatles.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05- # I need somebody... # - Yeah!
0:03:05 > 0:03:07# Not just anybody
0:03:07 > 0:03:08# Help! #
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- Yes.- I was convinced that my secret was out
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- and that he was going to dump me. - Actually, I proposed,
0:03:14 > 0:03:19I proposed in a little tented bothy on the side of a mountain.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21He was quite sweet, cos you were very romantic,
0:03:21 > 0:03:24cos you said, "Actually, if you're stupid enough to lie about this,
0:03:24 > 0:03:26"then you're stupid enough to marry me."
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Oh! I think I'm going to cry!
0:03:29 > 0:03:31HE WAILS THEATRICALLY
0:03:31 > 0:03:35- That was sweet.- We're so early into the programme, I can't bear it!
0:03:35 > 0:03:37That's just so beautiful.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39We'll be killing each other later out in the fair, don't worry.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41It's so beautiful, I can't believe it.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Anyway, what are your tactics going to be when you go shopping today?
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Well, I'm a bit of a shopaholic,
0:03:47 > 0:03:50so I think my tactics are actually going to be making it last the hour.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53I think that my tactics are going to be holding on to the money.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56OK, well, there we go. We got the full menu.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Now, for the Blues.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Mary, their love may have been cemented on a mountain,
0:04:01 > 0:04:03but you were actually flying high
0:04:03 > 0:04:05when you achieved your love, weren't you?
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Absolutely.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10I was on a trip to New York and on the plane, I thought,
0:04:10 > 0:04:14"Now, who have I got beside me?" so we could have a chat.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18And I got this very reserved English gentleman.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19I said to him, "Good morning."
0:04:19 > 0:04:20He said, "Morning."
0:04:20 > 0:04:24I have no recollection of this first interchange at all.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27He proceeded to put his eye mask on
0:04:27 > 0:04:28- and go to sleep.- Sociable, then?
0:04:28 > 0:04:32- Absolutely. But, Tim, I worked on him.- Did you?
0:04:32 > 0:04:34- By the time...- Eight hours later.
0:04:34 > 0:04:40- ..we reached New York, he had given me his business card.- Had he?
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- He had.- I can say that never before or since
0:04:43 > 0:04:46has any woman spoken to me on an aeroplane,
0:04:46 > 0:04:48so it just shows you the risk you take if you respond.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Particularly if you fly alone, that's the thing, isn't it?
0:04:51 > 0:04:54May I say, since that day, I've never allowed him to fly alone.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58- Quite right.- You can't trust him now to talk to anybody!
0:04:58 > 0:05:00But there's a happy conclusion to this,
0:05:00 > 0:05:03cos he did make you an honest woman, didn't he?
0:05:03 > 0:05:06He did, on the anniversary of the day we met.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10- So emotionally charged! - He produced this beautiful ring.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14Oh, lordy! Will this marital bliss continue during the shopping?
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- Well, I do hope so.- Hope so.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18I move from the heart.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Alan moves from the head.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- OK.- So it's the best of both worlds, or possibly the worst, who knows?
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Well, who knows? We're about to find out.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Here comes the £300. Are you happy about this?
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- Yes, very.- Cor, look at her face. Look at that, £300.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33You know the rules.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38Your experts await and off you go and very, very, very good luck.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42What dream teams, but how about our experts?
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Three isn't a crowd when Anita Manning's around.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50She joins the Reds and I spy with my little eye an expert
0:05:50 > 0:05:53to look after the Blues - it's Richard Madley.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- What do you want to buy? - Oh, jewellery.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57- Jewellery.- Art Deco jewellery.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01- Uh-huh.- It's got to be something that speaks to my heart
0:06:01 > 0:06:04and says, "Mary, take me."
0:06:04 > 0:06:05Well, well, well.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Something perhaps unusual, something a bit quirky
0:06:07 > 0:06:08and my cousin's a sculptor,
0:06:08 > 0:06:11so I'd like to get a little figurine or a little art object.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14I'm going to have to rein myself in, but he'll do that for me.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15You can always barter.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- I can.- And I believe you're quite good at that.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Hopefully, yes, cos I have to be.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22You have to be!
0:06:22 > 0:06:23Right, teams,
0:06:23 > 0:06:26your 60 minutes starts now! WHISTLE BLOWS
0:06:26 > 0:06:27Let's go!
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- Come with me.- Wonderful.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33They've got an hour to shop, but this fair is serving up
0:06:33 > 0:06:37so many goodies, our teams are getting straight down to business.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- Found something, look. - Oh, she's found something.- Already!
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- What do you see there? - A vanity case.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46I don't know if it's snake skin or not, but it looks kind of...
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- kind of nice. - This is a woman of style.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Takes one to know one, Anita!
0:06:52 > 0:06:57- SELLER:- It's mock snake skin. - Or faux snake skin.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00But it is complete with all its bottles and jars.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03You just don't see this any more. It's something...
0:07:03 > 0:07:09Think of the 1950s, post-war, women wanted to be glamorous,
0:07:09 > 0:07:11they wanted to be feminine
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- and this is the type of thing that you would carry.- I love that.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18She's fallen in love with something within the first 30 seconds.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21It's quite heavy, that's the only thing. What do you think?
0:07:21 > 0:07:27The condition of the faux snake skin is good and I like that.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30It's not the top of the range, but it's got style.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Peter, tell me what you think about it.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Well, I think it's a great item,
0:07:35 > 0:07:39but I think we've got to rein my wife in from spending lots of money.
0:07:39 > 0:07:44Well, it's £28 at the moment, which is not a lot of money.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47We are always open to sensible offers.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48ANITA CHORTLES
0:07:48 > 0:07:50With the emphasis on "sensible".
0:07:51 > 0:07:52So what sort of offer
0:07:52 > 0:07:56do we think that we could come with for this one?
0:07:56 > 0:07:58- Try 15? - I'm afraid we can't do 15.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Can we do something round about the £20 mark?
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- Do you feel that's a fair offer? - Yeah, if you're happy, Anita.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06I think that, at 20,
0:08:06 > 0:08:10you have a good chance of making some profit on that.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11- We've got a deal.- Get in!
0:08:11 > 0:08:14It is almost a third off the price, isn't it?
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- It is.- Thank you so much. - Thank you very much.
0:08:17 > 0:08:18Cracking start, Reds.
0:08:18 > 0:08:23Fingers crossed, the stallholder's generosity helps out at the auction.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- Now, what have the Blues spotted? - I like this.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- Yeah, that is nice.- I think that's got something about it, don't you?
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Yes, I like it. I was really drawn to it.
0:08:31 > 0:08:38A possibly Victorian doll's cradle, so it's for a child.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40It would have been in a child's nursery,
0:08:40 > 0:08:42but for his or her, probably her, doll.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Looks to me as if it's stained pine.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Mm.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Nice green interior.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52We like the green interior as well, nicely painted.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Have a look at the base, the rockers.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58Yep, nothing wrong with those. Now the price.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Price - £25.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Yes.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04I think that if you can perhaps talk to the owner,
0:09:04 > 0:09:07see if he's prepared to be gentle with us,
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- you might be in with a chance there, do you think?- Right.- Wonderful.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- Let's ask the owner.- OK.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- This is yours, sir?- Yep.
0:09:14 > 0:09:19- Wondering what's the best price you can do on it for us.- Best is 20.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22The best is £20.
0:09:22 > 0:09:23- £20?- I think that's good. - Reasonable to me.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26I think that's reasonable, I think that's fair.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27I think it's a good lot to start with.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- Thank you very much indeed. - Thank you.
0:09:30 > 0:09:31Bravo, Blues.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35That means each team has bagged a buy in under ten minutes.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39Now, on to number two, and Sarah-Jane is all hung up on something.
0:09:39 > 0:09:44These sell really well, especially if people are modernising houses.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46I'm not convinced myself, I'm afraid.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49I'm not so keen on brown furniture.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52But, darling, you haven't got any taste.
0:09:52 > 0:09:53Know what I mean?
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- That's a bit harsh. - Pete's not impressed.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Do you do what your husband tells you?
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Um, no, but I have...
0:10:00 > 0:10:02No, I don't, at all.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03How did you spot that?
0:10:03 > 0:10:06How did you spot that(?!)
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Nothing gets past our Anita, Sarah-Jane.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13I've seen something over here that caught my eye from a distance
0:10:13 > 0:10:16and the whole thing about this particular piece
0:10:16 > 0:10:19is the maker, the factory.
0:10:19 > 0:10:24I think I know who made it, but I would need to turn it over.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- Like the colours. - You like the colours?- Lovely.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30I've always thought red and blue go together.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- Well, there indeed is the mark that we're looking for.- Oh, yes.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36It's the mark of the Poole Factory, England, 58.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38It's a shape number, by the way, it's not made in 1958.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40That's the shape number of the dish.
0:10:40 > 0:10:46This is part of the 1960s ware, when they became very bright and jazzy
0:10:46 > 0:10:48and it's an attractive fruit bowl, isn't it?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Mmm, very much.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- Is that a crack? - Well, I don't know what it is.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Is it a crack, is it something in the firing?
0:10:55 > 0:10:59- The colour, yes.- There's a discoloration there, isn't there?
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Mmm, looks dubious to me.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02What do you think happened here?
0:11:02 > 0:11:05I think it's been in water at some point.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- Right.- It's sort of affected the glaze on the back of the bowl.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- It's not cracked, is it? - No, it isn't.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13If you ping it, it's got a nice sound.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15- RESONANT PING - Yeah, it's got a nice sound to it.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17It's not priced. I assume it's got a price.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19It has, it's £60,
0:11:19 > 0:11:22to take into account the discoloration at the back.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25So what would your best price be on that?
0:11:25 > 0:11:27- I could do 50. - You could do 50?
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- Yes, I could.- I think we should go for it.- Alan, are you...?- Yeah.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- In that case, it is sold.- Lovely.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Gosh, only 15 minutes gone
0:11:36 > 0:11:40and deals are being done left, right and centre.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- Oh, I'm so excited. We've got two wonderful pieces.- Fantastic.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- Absolutely.- Lots of time and lots of money still to spend.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Mary chose one and I chose one,
0:11:50 > 0:11:51or influenced them.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53So now it's Alan's turn.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55- You said you wanted something quirky.- Yes.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59- So, what do you...? - I've got something quirky.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00Careful, Alan.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Back to the Reds and this cut-glass salad bowl
0:12:04 > 0:12:05is giving them food for thought.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07I've never seen anything like that before.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Quite a nice set.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Nice cut-crystal handle and as far as I can see,
0:12:13 > 0:12:14there's no damage on it.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19The silver plate is not worn.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25What I like about it - nice star cut on the base,
0:12:25 > 0:12:29and that's telling us there's a wee bit of quality there.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Are these matching this bowl?
0:12:31 > 0:12:35The answer is yes. Now, we have a wee bit of wear on the bottom,
0:12:35 > 0:12:39but it dates, maybe, from the 1930s or 1940s
0:12:39 > 0:12:42and it has been something that's been used.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45So we've got to take that into consideration.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48As a woman that doesn't cook, what would you use this for?
0:12:48 > 0:12:52Your wife has just told me that she doesn't cook.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55She doesn't cook. I have to do all the cooking.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57- All right. - But then she does the washing up.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Ah, right. So you're skivvy?
0:13:00 > 0:13:02I am skivvy, yes.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Would you use this on your dinner table?
0:13:07 > 0:13:09I must admit I'm not that struck with it.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Come on, competitive hat on.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14We need to think of things that we can buy
0:13:14 > 0:13:16that people are going to bid on at auction.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18I think somebody might buy that.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20But how much can you get it for?
0:13:21 > 0:13:2545 on it - what are you thinking?
0:13:25 > 0:13:28I think if we bought it round about the 20 mark,
0:13:28 > 0:13:30- we might have a chance.- Right.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32- Is that too...?- Not 25?
0:13:32 > 0:13:34I would buy that now for £45,
0:13:34 > 0:13:38but because we've got to try and make a profit,
0:13:38 > 0:13:40I think we'd only break even on 25.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- Go on. 20.- Oh, thank you so much! You've been very kind.- Yes.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47- Thank you very much.- All the best!
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Well done, you lot. Two down, one to go,
0:13:49 > 0:13:52but are you ladies going to give Pete a look in?
0:13:52 > 0:13:55They're always bossing me around, but that's life.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59He's just being Mr Good Guy and saying, "OK, darling,"
0:13:59 > 0:14:00because he loves her.
0:14:00 > 0:14:05I will try and rein myself in and let him take charge of this one.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09It seems the Blues are extending that courtesy to Alan.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11- Now it's your turn, Alan.- Thank you.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13We're going to look for something sculptural.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- Yes, absolutely. A statement piece.- Exactly.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Something that makes a profit at auction would be handy.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Alan, what about this?
0:14:22 > 0:14:26- What do you think?- It's like myself. Falling to pieces, I think.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Well, it's sculptural, figural.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Is it a big enough statement for you, Alan?
0:14:31 > 0:14:33THEY CHUCKLE
0:14:33 > 0:14:34There's no answer to that.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38I think that may cost you an arm and a leg, Blues.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Back to the Reds and with 30 minutes left,
0:14:40 > 0:14:43they're heading inside, in search of their final buy.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46There's lots of lovely stalls here.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50What I think is we'll give ourselves five minutes
0:14:50 > 0:14:54- to have a quick look round.- OK. - And we'll meet back here.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Oh, yes, I do like seeing our experts take charge.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- This way, Richard? - If I was you,
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- I'd go the other way. - Oh, the other way?
0:15:02 > 0:15:05And what were we after, Blues? Some sculpture?
0:15:05 > 0:15:07If it looks right, it doesn't matter what it is.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Right, exactly.
0:15:12 > 0:15:13There's an old iron.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16- Yes.- Any old iron? - Any old iron, any old iron.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18If it was five times the size,
0:15:18 > 0:15:20it might just qualify as a piece of sculpture.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Do you know why I'm drawn to it?
0:15:22 > 0:15:23Because I grew up in Ireland,
0:15:23 > 0:15:26we had no electricity and we had an iron like this.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29You had to put a hot coal in the middle
0:15:29 > 0:15:30and that's how you did your ironing.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32There you go!
0:15:32 > 0:15:35I've learned something today as well.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38But it's not something for Alan, is it?
0:15:38 > 0:15:40And neither are these.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41Perfect for your little cradle.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- Absolutely. - That's a thought, isn't it?
0:15:44 > 0:15:46- Look at that.- They don't speak to you, darling, do they?
0:15:46 > 0:15:48- They don't, I must admit.- No.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Maybe they'll have better luck around the corner.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52- There's plenty of stalls here.- Mm!
0:15:53 > 0:15:57Perhaps this dapper gent has the perfect item for Alan.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59I like the trousers.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02I think you could be challenging Tim Wonnacott for best dressed man.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04I don't know about that, Ricardo.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- And you sell guitars?- Yes, yeah.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Plenty of nice stuff, if we can tempt you.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11- Well, we are looking for something...- Something big?
0:16:11 > 0:16:13..big, big, big.
0:16:13 > 0:16:19- What, a big guitar? - Well, that is a 1950s archtop.- Yes.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21That one is one I've completely restored.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25- I have got it on for 175.- Have you?
0:16:25 > 0:16:28But I could do it round about the 90.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30I'm sure it's a very generous gesture.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34- Musical instruments are a specialist area.- Exactly, yes.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36- I do play a little myself, you know. - And he collects guitars.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Well, I've got two or three, but, yeah.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Well, this stall is hitting all the right notes.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45- At least we've got to have a look, haven't we?- Absolutely.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49- You can tell us all about it. - It's not got a maker's label in it.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50Oh, there is one, yeah.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53- Melodija's from Slovenia.- Yes.- Yep.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55I had one very like this with teardrop...
0:16:55 > 0:16:59It's very unusual, because normally they have the round sound hole.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- Yes.- Not the F-holes.- Absolutely.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05- My only worry would be it's a very specialist market.- Yes.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09I will come down to 80 for you.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11- Is it in tune? - HE STRUMS
0:17:11 > 0:17:12- Oh, it is.- It is, yes.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13Sounds good.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16You know what's next. You know what's next!
0:17:16 > 0:17:19HE STRUMS CHORDS
0:17:21 > 0:17:23- Whoo!- Yeah!
0:17:23 > 0:17:27While you "play" with the idea of buying it, Blues,
0:17:27 > 0:17:28let's return to the Reds.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30They split up to search for their final item
0:17:30 > 0:17:35and it looks like Peter has already found something he likes.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37But will the girls agree?
0:17:37 > 0:17:42These are lovely and it's lovely that there's two of them.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44That is a nice lot.
0:17:44 > 0:17:461901, so it's the Edwardian period
0:17:46 > 0:17:50and what we have here is an Art Nouveau motif
0:17:50 > 0:17:56with these lovely, naturalistic shapes with little cherubs
0:17:56 > 0:17:59or angels' heads in them.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Nice, clear hallmarks there.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05The only thing about them is that they've been well polished,
0:18:05 > 0:18:06- they've been loved.- Yep.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Looked after and well polished
0:18:09 > 0:18:11and it's taken away just a wee bit of the detail.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14So what does our camera-shy stallholder want
0:18:14 > 0:18:15for his little cherubs?
0:18:15 > 0:18:18The two of them you can have for 300.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21We've got £260 left.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Could they be bought for 259?
0:18:24 > 0:18:26I'm sorry, no.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27One box?
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- 130.- Pete, what do you think on this?
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- PETE:- I think it's an absolutely lovely piece
0:18:33 > 0:18:35and my mother has three sons
0:18:35 > 0:18:39and she's got a picture above her head of the three little cherubs,
0:18:39 > 0:18:41so this was for my mother.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43I think that's a lovely reason to buy it.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46I think it's the best reason. It'll give us luck, hopefully.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Yeah, I love a boy that loves his mum.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51And I love it when a deal is done.
0:18:51 > 0:18:56£130 paid and that brings your shop to an end, Reds,
0:18:56 > 0:18:57with ten minutes left.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Well, there's no point "stringing" it out.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Ha!
0:19:02 > 0:19:03Speaking of which,
0:19:03 > 0:19:06are the Blues going to fork out £80 for the guitar?
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- Yes!- Well, yes, let's rock and roll.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16- Shall we rock and roll?- Why not?
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Come on, let's rock and roll. Excellent, we've got a deal?
0:19:19 > 0:19:20Absolutely, thank you very much.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Lovely, thank you.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23WHISTLE BLOWS That's it, kids.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Time's up.
0:19:25 > 0:19:26ANITA LAUGHS LOUDLY
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Get her a cup of tea, quick!
0:19:30 > 0:19:31I can't get out of it now.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34THEY LAUGH
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Now, let's remind ourselves what you bought, Reds.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Will the bidders bite and pay top dollar
0:19:40 > 0:19:43for this faux snake skin vanity set?
0:19:43 > 0:19:45It cost the Reds a £20 note.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49That's all it took to secure this cut-glass salad bowl
0:19:49 > 0:19:50with servers.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55Finally, they forked out £130 on the Edwardian jewellery box.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Magnificent performance.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01How much did you spend?
0:20:01 > 0:20:03We spent £170.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05- May I have the £130 left over? - You may indeed, sir.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06Thank you very much, super.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Which is your favourite piece?
0:20:08 > 0:20:11My favourite piece was the salad bowl.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14The salad bowl and the servers, cos I'll never get to use it,
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- but I thought it was beautiful. - I love a bit of salad myself.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19THEY CHUCKLE Pietro?
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Oh, mine was definitely the little cherub box.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Will that bring the biggest profit?
0:20:23 > 0:20:25I hope so, yes. I think so.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27What do you think will bring the biggest profit?
0:20:27 > 0:20:32I think it's the '40s travel case.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35- Very Grace Kelly. - Here we go, £130.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36Do you know what you might buy, Anita?
0:20:36 > 0:20:39I think I would like to buy something sparkly!
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Well, you're the best qualified to find that.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43Anyway, good luck.
0:20:43 > 0:20:48Meanwhile, we're going to check out what the Blue team bought, aren't we?
0:20:48 > 0:20:53The wooden toy cradle screamed out to Mary and a deal was done at £20.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56The team were "bowled" over by this piece of Poole pottery -
0:20:56 > 0:20:57£50 paid.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02And at £80, the guitar got everyone rocking,
0:21:02 > 0:21:05but will it strike a chord at the auction?
0:21:05 > 0:21:06Was that fun or was it fun?
0:21:06 > 0:21:08- It was absolutely fantastic. - Amazing.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Mary, what I really, really, really want to know
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- is which is your favourite piece? - Oh, my little cradle.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- Your cradle is your favourite piece? - Absolutely.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- Do you agree with that, Alan?- No, it'll have to be the guitar for me.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20- The guitar is your favourite?- Yes.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22And will the guitar bring the biggest profit?
0:21:22 > 0:21:25I don't think so, I think the Poole dish will make the most money.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Hmm, I'm not sure, I think my little cradle might.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30How much did you spend, you two?
0:21:30 > 0:21:31£150.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35- Did you?- We did.- £150 of leftover lolly, I need them, please.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39- But you had fun, right?- Absolutely, and Richard was excellent.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Don't worry, he'll slip you a tenner in just a moment.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Here we go, £150, old fruit.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46What are you going to spend it on?
0:21:46 > 0:21:48I've seen something which will remind them
0:21:48 > 0:21:50of one of their special trips, so...
0:21:50 > 0:21:52- Oh!- Wow!- ..leave that with me.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55But will it be profitable?
0:21:55 > 0:21:56- Ah.- Ah.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Let's wait till the auction.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Well, we can't wait to find out. Richard, thank you very much.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Meanwhile, though, we're going to fly high,
0:22:04 > 0:22:09because we're off to the RAF Cosford Museum. Ooh!
0:22:13 > 0:22:15At the dawn of the 20th century,
0:22:15 > 0:22:19our nation embarked on a journey of discovery and invention.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23The aim - to take us where we'd never been before.
0:22:24 > 0:22:30The RAF museum here at Cosford showcases
0:22:30 > 0:22:34exactly how Britain became an aeronautical powerhouse
0:22:34 > 0:22:38that enabled the world to conquer the skies.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41I'm keen to see what gems they have here,
0:22:41 > 0:22:45and who better to show me what lies behind the hanger doors
0:22:45 > 0:22:49than former RAF pilot, Alastair McLean.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53What do you think that Britain's contribution
0:22:53 > 0:22:58to aeronautical engineering really was based upon?
0:22:58 > 0:23:02Well, we're an amazingly innovative and inventive nation,
0:23:02 > 0:23:05but if I had to pick out two things, two contributions,
0:23:05 > 0:23:07I would say the jet engine
0:23:07 > 0:23:13and the jet airliner are the things that we really brought to the world.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15The Comet epitomises that.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19It was the world's first commercial jet airliner
0:23:19 > 0:23:23and its debut in 1949 inspired the invention of aircraft
0:23:23 > 0:23:27that billions of us travel on every year.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29But when you meander through the museum,
0:23:29 > 0:23:34it's striking how many planes were designed with conflict in mind,
0:23:34 > 0:23:38from modern jet-propelled fighter planes to battle-weary war horses.
0:23:39 > 0:23:44That includes this unsung hero from World War II.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Well, I have to say, Al, that on Bargain Hunt,
0:23:47 > 0:23:51above all we appreciate quality and craftsmanship
0:23:51 > 0:23:54and that is displayed in spades in this aeroplane, isn't it?
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Very much so.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58We're standing in front of the de Havilland Mosquito,
0:23:58 > 0:24:01which was a legendary aircraft.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05The most unusual thing about it is it's made almost entirely of wood.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- No!- This was an aircraft that wasn't built
0:24:08 > 0:24:12by skilled aircraft technicians, this was built by cabinet makers,
0:24:12 > 0:24:14by carpenters and by joiners
0:24:14 > 0:24:17in factories and workshops all over England.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20And what were the advantages of building in wood?
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Lighter, for a start, but most importantly,
0:24:23 > 0:24:27it didn't require vital scarce war materials like aluminium
0:24:27 > 0:24:31and other metals, it was something we had an abundance of.
0:24:31 > 0:24:36This wooden wonder you wouldn't think would be a tremendous threat
0:24:36 > 0:24:39to the might of the Third Reich, would you?
0:24:39 > 0:24:41No, you wouldn't, but it was a threat
0:24:41 > 0:24:44and the reason was it could fly virtually unchallenged to Berlin.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48It was too high and it was too fast for the majority of their fighters
0:24:48 > 0:24:51and it was above the range of their guns.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55The Mosquito struck fear into the heart of the enemy.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59But its greatest foe was the innovative design
0:24:59 > 0:25:01that made it so formidable.
0:25:02 > 0:25:07The wood rotted, the glue didn't last forever.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10They're a very scarce commodity, working Mosquitoes.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14It's not just planes that keep aircrew flying high.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17All sorts of equipment and contraptions are needed,
0:25:17 > 0:25:20and some would say a hefty dose of superstition.
0:25:21 > 0:25:27You expect in an aeronautical museum to have lots of models of aeroplanes,
0:25:27 > 0:25:29but not cuddly toys.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Ah, well, these are mascots that were carried by crews
0:25:32 > 0:25:35as good luck charms when they went into battle.
0:25:35 > 0:25:41Such is the power of the thought of protection via a mascot
0:25:41 > 0:25:43that in this highly dangerous flying business,
0:25:43 > 0:25:45you would take one of these with you?
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Quite a lot of crew did, not just the pilots,
0:25:47 > 0:25:51but navigators, bomb aimers, air gunners had some sort of token
0:25:51 > 0:25:54and in fact, crews got quite wound up about them and on one occasion,
0:25:54 > 0:25:58a crew member would be sent back to get his mascot if he'd forgotten.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01So tell me about the chap on the top. What's that about?
0:26:01 > 0:26:03That's Percy the Parachuting Penguin
0:26:03 > 0:26:07and Percy actually had to jump out of an aircraft with his owner
0:26:07 > 0:26:10and Percy was taken prisoner, along with his owner
0:26:10 > 0:26:12and they both made it back to Britain safely
0:26:12 > 0:26:13at the end of the war.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15So the mascot really worked?
0:26:15 > 0:26:19Percy's owner certainly felt so, because when he landed,
0:26:19 > 0:26:22he thought, "Gosh, I'm alive to see the dawn,"
0:26:22 > 0:26:25and he felt that Percy had done the job for the crew.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27There you go, that's the power of Percy, isn't it?
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Definitely, he's a lucky charm of great power.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Artefacts like these are priceless,
0:26:34 > 0:26:37because of the heroism they symbolise,
0:26:37 > 0:26:40making them an important part of this collection.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Well, time certainly flies when you're having fun,
0:26:43 > 0:26:47so it's, "Chocks away!" while we flit off to the auction.
0:26:51 > 0:26:56I've flown up the road to Trevanion & Dean in Whitchurch
0:26:56 > 0:26:59and our auctioneer is a familiar face,
0:26:59 > 0:27:00Christina Trevanion.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04- How are you?- Very well and lovely to be here.- A pleasure to have you.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Now, Sarah-Jane and Pietro have gone with a mixture.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11First up is this little dressing case.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- Tell us what you think about it. - It's very reminiscent of its time
0:27:14 > 0:27:16and I love the fact it's got a hair tidy.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Does your vanity case have a hair tidy?
0:27:18 > 0:27:23I have to say that I do not own a vanity case.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26I've got plenty of hair. It's all my own.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29No, seriously, it's one of those things
0:27:29 > 0:27:31that really is an oddball survivor, isn't it?
0:27:31 > 0:27:34- It is.- It was cheap at the time, they got thrown away.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37On the plus side, it's still got all its bits to it, hasn't it?
0:27:37 > 0:27:39- Exactly.- It's a sweet thing.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42It's very typical of its time, 1950s, 1960s.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44So what's your opinion as to its value?
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Well, we've put £15-£20 on it.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50- OK, £20 paid, so that's OK, we're in the right frame.- Good.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52- Moving on to the salad bowl.- Yes.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54What I like about these metal-mounted things is of course
0:27:54 > 0:27:57that they've got a little bit of quality about them.
0:27:57 > 0:27:58Yes, they really have, yes.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Daniel & Arter, lovely thing
0:28:00 > 0:28:02and to have the servers still there is great.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04- It's cut glass, not moulded glass.- Exactly.
0:28:04 > 0:28:09Somebody's gone through a process which has involved this hand cutting,
0:28:09 > 0:28:11and very nicely that's been done too.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13The only disappointment is that the metal mounts aren't silver.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Nonetheless, I think it's a smart thing.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17- We've put £20-£30 on it.- Perfect!
0:28:17 > 0:28:19£20 paid.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Moving on, we've got this embossed silver covered box.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24What do you make of that, CT?
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Well, even before you look at the marks,
0:28:26 > 0:28:28you can tell it's Commons, can't you?
0:28:28 > 0:28:31It's just typical 1880s, Edwardian later period,
0:28:31 > 0:28:33where Commons really flourished.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35He had all those wonderful cherubs and floral...
0:28:35 > 0:28:37- It was a factory, really?- It was.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Sadly, the condition does let it down.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41It's been loved, it's been cleaned a lot
0:28:41 > 0:28:44and therefore the cherubs' faces are not particularly crisp.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47All those chubby little faces had expressions on,
0:28:47 > 0:28:49- like noses and eyebrows and all that. - Absolutely.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52Now they've all disappeared, which is a shame,
0:28:52 > 0:28:55and no doubt you have taken that into account with the estimate.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58- We've put £40-£60 on it at auction. - Ouch!
0:28:58 > 0:29:01- Oh, dear, what did they pay? - £130.- Ooh!
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Well, Peter went with it, he loved it.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05If he's right, we'll be delighted,
0:29:05 > 0:29:07if he's wrong, we're going to need the bonus buy,
0:29:07 > 0:29:09so let's go and have a look at it.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Sarah-Jane, Pietro,
0:29:13 > 0:29:16I bet you want to know what Anita Manning has spent your £130 on.
0:29:16 > 0:29:20Absolutely. My palms are sweaty with anticipation to know what that is.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22Let's get it over and done with. Anita, what did you buy?
0:29:24 > 0:29:27Oh! That's gorgeous!
0:29:27 > 0:29:31I have bought you a divine little bit of sparkle,
0:29:31 > 0:29:33because you are a sparkly pair.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35Bless you!
0:29:35 > 0:29:41It's a little 14-carat gold chain with lovely garnet spacers
0:29:41 > 0:29:45and this wonderful garnet drop here with a rosette at the top.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49Do you like this? Is this sparkly enough for you?
0:29:49 > 0:29:51I like it so much that I want to bid on it, actually.
0:29:51 > 0:29:52THEY LAUGH
0:29:52 > 0:29:54- You can't!- I know, I know!
0:29:54 > 0:29:56It's gorgeous!
0:29:56 > 0:30:01I guess the big question is, we left you with £130, didn't we?
0:30:01 > 0:30:04I didn't spend it all, I didn't spend it all.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08- This cost me £50. - That's fantastic.- Yeah.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10I think it's a good buy for £50.
0:30:10 > 0:30:11For the audience at home,
0:30:11 > 0:30:15let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about the bling.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19- There we go.- Isn't that gorgeous? - Christina.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22Obviously a little yellow gold chain set with garnet beads
0:30:22 > 0:30:24and then faceted garnets here.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Really pretty, 14-carat.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28Probably continental and it's very wearable, really,
0:30:28 > 0:30:31because it's not evening, it's not daytime,
0:30:31 > 0:30:34- it could translate to both. - Presumably it has no age at all.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Not massively, no. I'd say late 20th century.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39We've put £60-£100 on it.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42- 60-100?- Yes.- OK, fine. Well, the lovely Anita only paid 50,
0:30:42 > 0:30:45so if the team decide to go with it,
0:30:45 > 0:30:46they will have done jolly well.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49OK, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:30:49 > 0:30:56- Mary and Alan.- Yep. - The stained pine doll's crib, cradle.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59- Fun, isn't it?- Yes, really sweet, very rustic.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03What I love about this stuff is that once upon a time,
0:31:03 > 0:31:08in about 1850, when life was simpler, a man went out with a few old boards
0:31:08 > 0:31:11and he probably nailed that together out in a shed
0:31:11 > 0:31:12and gave it to his child.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15Yes, gave it to his daughter and his daughter would probably
0:31:15 > 0:31:18have been saying to him all morning, "Daddy, I want a crib for my dolly!
0:31:18 > 0:31:20"I want a crib for my dolly!"
0:31:20 > 0:31:24- There is charm in buckets in a little object like that.- Absolutely.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27- What's it worth?- Well, I think we've put £15-£20 on it.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29- OK, £20 paid.- Good. - Anything could happen.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31Yeah, if a little girl falls in love with it,
0:31:31 > 0:31:34- a mummy or a daddy would say, "You must have it."- Exactly.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36Unlike the Poole pottery bowl,
0:31:36 > 0:31:40cos I don't think any little girl is likely to fall in love with that.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42But what do you think about it?
0:31:42 > 0:31:44It's rather smart, isn't it?
0:31:44 > 0:31:46It's typical Poole Delphis ware,
0:31:46 > 0:31:49developed in the 1960s through to the 1970s.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51Incredibly popular at its time.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54We think it's the colour palette that Carol Cutler would have used,
0:31:54 > 0:31:58the designer from the factory from about 1969 to 1975.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00It's got one or two probs, hasn't it?
0:32:00 > 0:32:03Mmm, I don't like the staining and the star crack to the base,
0:32:03 > 0:32:05- that will affect the value, sadly. - Yeah.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08Because of the condition, we've put £20-£30 on it.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10- OK, ouch - £50 paid.- Oof!
0:32:10 > 0:32:11But you never know.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14- The thing is listed online, right? - Mm-hm.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16So that's the big thing, isn't it?
0:32:16 > 0:32:18- Yes.- The online interest,
0:32:18 > 0:32:21which leads me seamlessly to the guitar.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24Have you had any interest in this joker?
0:32:24 > 0:32:28- We've got 640 lots in this auction and some stunning things.- Mm-hm.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31Guess what is at number three on our current hit list
0:32:31 > 0:32:33for the most popular item.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36- I'd say not the Poole bowl, but perhaps the guitar.- Yes, exactly.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38- Can you believe it? - It's good, isn't it?
0:32:38 > 0:32:40There is a bit of interest to it,
0:32:40 > 0:32:43but, actually, as an instrument, it's what I'd call brand-spankers, yes?
0:32:43 > 0:32:46Well, it has got a little age to it, not a huge amount,
0:32:46 > 0:32:49but it's a nicely made thing, it's got its maker's label inside.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52I've put a conservative estimate of £20-£30 on it
0:32:52 > 0:32:53- as a bit of a fun thing.- Ouch!
0:32:53 > 0:32:56- Oh, no, what's happened?- You've hit the wrong note there!- No, why?!
0:32:56 > 0:32:58You need to sharpen up your plectrum.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01- Really?- Yeah, cos £80 is the purchase price.- Gosh.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05Depending on how the guitar goes will depend on whether the team
0:33:05 > 0:33:08need the bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10This is fun, isn't it?
0:33:10 > 0:33:14Have you any idea what Richard has spent your £150 of leftover lolly on?
0:33:14 > 0:33:16- BOTH:- Absolutely no idea.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19Well, all I can say is it's a big one, Richard.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21- It is a big one. - You'd better show us what you got.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Well...
0:33:23 > 0:33:24I had to buy you something...
0:33:24 > 0:33:28- Wow! That's amazing. - Oh, yes!- Very good.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31- ..that might just remind you of your travels.- Absolutely.- Indeed!
0:33:31 > 0:33:36I know this one is not as old as we might like it to be,
0:33:36 > 0:33:39but the price, in my opinion, was a real deal.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41The price was...?
0:33:41 > 0:33:43- £15.- I like it.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Stylistically, from a distance,
0:33:45 > 0:33:49it looks old and I do think at that sort of price,
0:33:49 > 0:33:50we could be doubling our money.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56- Oh, it's heavier than I thought.- Ah!
0:33:56 > 0:33:57- It is nice.- Mm, very good.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00- Alan, we could pick all the places we've been to in the world.- Indeed.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02Fantastic.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Yes, I have a really good feel for this.
0:34:04 > 0:34:05- Are you happy, guys?- Absolutely.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07I don't know when I've seen a happier couple.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Why don't we find out what our happy auctioneer
0:34:10 > 0:34:13thinks about the happy old globe?
0:34:13 > 0:34:17Well, Christina, the world is your oyster, here in Whitchurch.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19Which is about th... Oh, no, that's the Pacific.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21- I've got America over here. - Have you?
0:34:21 > 0:34:23So how do you rate this thing?
0:34:23 > 0:34:27Well, I think I've got socks in my sock drawer that might be
0:34:27 > 0:34:29a little bit older than it, sadly.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31Doesn't have a huge amount of age to it,
0:34:31 > 0:34:33but it has been sitting in someone's window for a while,
0:34:33 > 0:34:37because we've got sun fading around Europe, Russia, India,
0:34:37 > 0:34:39and then we get back to a normal colour over there.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41So you think the normal colour's brown
0:34:41 > 0:34:45- and that kind of beige business is fading?- Yes, look.- Yes.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48It's a nice decorative thing.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50Ricardo bought it, he knows what he's up to - £15 he paid.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53Perfect. We've put £15-£20 on it as a decorative thing.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56They could double their money easily, if they decide to go with it.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Let's hope we've got some budding geographers.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02- You'll know, because you're taking the sale, right?- Indeed.
0:35:02 > 0:35:03Indeed, what bliss.
0:35:05 > 0:35:06£100.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08110, 120.
0:35:08 > 0:35:09At £130.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13- How are you feeling? - Nervous, but really excited!
0:35:13 > 0:35:15- Are you?- Yeah.- What about you, Petey?
0:35:15 > 0:35:16Yes, I'm nervous as well!
0:35:16 > 0:35:19That's cos you're going to be in trouble.
0:35:19 > 0:35:20I'll be the one in trouble.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22You spent the most money, so...
0:35:22 > 0:35:24You were so brave before too.
0:35:24 > 0:35:25Anyway, there we are.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27We're on the edge of the auction, which is so much fun.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29- Let's be positive.- OK.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Let's go with the vanity case, and here it comes.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33Lot 50 now, here we are.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36This little travel vanity case here, really rather sweet example,
0:35:36 > 0:35:37a Sirram one.
0:35:37 > 0:35:38Bid me £10 for it,
0:35:38 > 0:35:41- £10 for the Sirram travel vanity case.- Please!
0:35:41 > 0:35:42Can't be bad at £10.
0:35:42 > 0:35:4410 is bid, thank you, madam.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46At £10 standing, at £10. Looking for 12 now.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49- You're all done...- Come on! - ..I will sell, make no mistake,
0:35:49 > 0:35:51if we're all done at £10...
0:35:52 > 0:35:55Uh-oh! SARAH-JANE GROANS
0:35:55 > 0:35:56That's not so hot.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58- Sarah-Jane, £10.- I thought they were lovely as well.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01Minus £10 on that, but don't despair.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05This cut-glass and EPNS salad bowl and servers. Bid me £20 on it.
0:36:05 > 0:36:10- At £20. 15, then, surely, on this. At £15. Where's 15?- Uh-oh.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13At £15. No, no interest in this? My goodness.
0:36:13 > 0:36:14Ten, then.
0:36:14 > 0:36:18- Ten is bid, he's there straightaway. - Yay!- Thank you, sir, at £10.
0:36:18 > 0:36:19Where's 12?
0:36:19 > 0:36:2115 against you, sir, online.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25- 20 is bid.- He's a nice man. - Where's five?
0:36:25 > 0:36:28At £20 with you, then, sir. At £20.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32- Ah, well done, £20, safe. - Thank you!- Very good.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34Bit of healthy eating here in Whitchurch.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36Now, here we go, here comes the jewellery box.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39This really rather lovely little Edwardian silver jewellery box,
0:36:39 > 0:36:41the William Commons example.
0:36:41 > 0:36:42You'll be in the doghouse...
0:36:42 > 0:36:48- At £45 here. At 45. - Come on!- With me, internet.
0:36:48 > 0:36:5050, 55 with me.
0:36:50 > 0:36:5460 is bid online, 65. My commission bidder, looking for 70 now.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57- I can see you hovering. 70... - Yeah!- They're all there.
0:36:57 > 0:37:01At £75, internet bidder clears my commission bids at £75
0:37:01 > 0:37:02and 80 I have.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04Thank you, internet bidder at £80.
0:37:04 > 0:37:05Where's five now?
0:37:05 > 0:37:0685 is bid.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08Climbing and climbing at £85.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12If we're all done, then, selling to the internet at £85.
0:37:12 > 0:37:1485.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16So that's minus 45.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19Minus 45, minus ten, is minus 55,
