0:00:02 > 0:00:05Today, we are at a location which is no stranger to competition.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07For over a century,
0:00:07 > 0:00:11horses have galloped around the racecourse here, at Newbury.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17Battling it out for big money.
0:00:17 > 0:00:21'Swagger is absolutely charging at him on the far side.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24'Mitchum Swagger, after Time Flies.'
0:00:24 > 0:00:28But today, it plays host to a different type of meet.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34It is a meeting of mind, money and antiques today.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36So place your bets, eh?
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Let's see who is going to be first past the post,
0:00:38 > 0:00:41and let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:41 > 0:00:42Yeah!
0:01:03 > 0:01:06This is one of Bargain Hunt's first visits to
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Newbury's Antiques & Collectors Fair.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10And doesn't it look splendid?!
0:01:11 > 0:01:15There may not be any thoroughbreds here today, but we are still
0:01:15 > 0:01:18going to crack the whip
0:01:18 > 0:01:22and hope that our teams make substantial profits.
0:01:22 > 0:01:23What do you think, my old cock?
0:01:23 > 0:01:25CROWING Cheeky!
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Let's take a sneaky peak as to what is coming up.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32The Reds are proving a handful for Natasha.
0:01:34 > 0:01:35We'll take it then.
0:01:37 > 0:01:42The Blues and their expert clearly have differing tastes.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Oh, Mark, it's a hideous colour.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45Don't you like turquoise?
0:01:45 > 0:01:47- Not really.- I love turquoise.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49- £50, I have. - And the auction is full of...
0:01:49 > 0:01:51OOHS
0:01:51 > 0:01:53..and ahs.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55That's good.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58But before all that, let's meet the teams.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03Gosh, we have got some top teams on the show today.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07For the Reds, we've got chums Maddie and Wendy.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Well, they are chums at the moment.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13And for the Blues, we have partners Andy and Steve. Hello, everyone.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15- ALL:- Hello!- Hello, hello, hello.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Now, Maddie, we have had some top-hole actresses
0:02:18 > 0:02:20on this programme before,
0:02:20 > 0:02:21but never a Bond girl.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Yeah, but I am not top-hole, that's for sure.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Listen, girl, don't be modest about it.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- Well, anyway.- You spent more time with Roger Moore,
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- mainly in the sack...- Yes.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- ..than anybody else, right? - Days of it.- Days and days.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35Three at least, yes.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Yes. Actually, IN bed with him.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39So your Bond movie was what?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- Live And Let Die.- Was it? - Yes, it was.- Tell us about it.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45The whole point is that M and Moneypenny come in,
0:02:45 > 0:02:47I hop out of bed,
0:02:47 > 0:02:49sneak into the wardrobe, they go,
0:02:49 > 0:02:51he comes to the wardrobe, and of course,
0:02:51 > 0:02:53I've put my dress on by then, and he doesn't like that.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57- No, of course.- So he undoes the dress with his magic watch,
0:02:57 > 0:03:01which wasn't actually magic, it was a thread going all the way down.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03- Was it?- Yes. That he was pulling on.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05That's the magic of the cinema, isn't it?
0:03:05 > 0:03:07- You have to use your imagination. - Course you do.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09It is all about imagination, that is the art.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11You know about antiques, you were brung up with them.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Well, my dad, he went and got himself a stall at Bermondsey
0:03:15 > 0:03:18and Portobello and started with just little bits of junk
0:03:18 > 0:03:19and stuff like that.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23He liked bits and pieces of sort of Staffordshire, that kind of thing.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25- So I have got a yen for Staffordshire.- Have you?- Yep.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- Find the rare figure...- Yes.- ..and I tell you, you could make a fortune.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31- So keep your eye honed. - I will.- Perfect.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34So, Wendy, tell me, how did you and Maddie meet?
0:03:34 > 0:03:37We met on the West End production of Habeas Corpus, Bennett's play.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39- Did you?- Yes.
0:03:39 > 0:03:44- And I was under studying Maddie, who was playing Felicity Rumpers.- Yes.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47And we became friends then and we've stayed friends ever since.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51- Tell me about when you played Marilyn Monroe.- Oh, that was lovely.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54I was working on a play then - All My Sons by Arthur Miller,
0:03:54 > 0:03:56funnily enough - when...
0:03:56 > 0:03:57And it was coming to the end of the run
0:03:57 > 0:04:00and I got a phone call from Granada asking me
0:04:00 > 0:04:04if I was interested in playing Marilyn Monroe in a play called
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Whatever Happened To The Heroes.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08- Right.- It is a science-fiction play.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10And I auditioned, and I got it.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14And I was amazed to be asked to play her, but it was wonderful.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18- It seems like a natural to me. - Thank you.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21So, are you going to agree to buy something stellar together
0:04:21 > 0:04:22or are you going to fall out?
0:04:22 > 0:04:27Maddie is the expert on antiques, not me, but I'll just
0:04:27 > 0:04:30look for what I like, things that particularly appeal to me.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32- You are on the negotiating end of it. - Yes.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34And Maddie, as we know, is going to go for Staffordshire.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Yeah, well, if I can. Staffordshire or something...something amusing.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40- OK, fine.- A bit different. - Well, we will look forward to it.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Now, chaps, I should think you are absolutely petrified after that,
0:04:43 > 0:04:45- aren't you?- Yes.- Andy.- Yep.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47It says here that you recently bought a house
0:04:47 > 0:04:49and you are thoroughly enjoying doing it up.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50Yeah, we've recently bought
0:04:50 > 0:04:53a Homes Under The Hammer kind of house,
0:04:53 > 0:04:581930s style, and we're kind of furnishing it up in a 1930s,
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Art Deco kind of style, with a modern twist, really, Tim.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04You are the practical type. You are keen on DIY and all that?
0:05:04 > 0:05:08We are a dab hand at doing ceilings and walls.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11You are lovely and tall, so you're quite close to the ceiling.
0:05:11 > 0:05:12Yes, I get the ceilings, actually.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16- Do you do the lower walls?- Yes, I do the skirting, he does the ceiling.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18He does the skirting and I do the ceilings.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22That is the joy of the partnership, isn't it? Yeah, absolutely.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Now, you are in the social care sector as a job of work.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29- But you are actually a history buff. - I love history, yeah.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31That has always been the thing that I am into.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35We go around quite a few National Trust houses, don't we?
0:05:35 > 0:05:38And visiting lots of different places like that.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- Yeah.- Getting your eye in for the next style for the next house.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42That would be nice.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Now, Steve, you are going to hold the purse strings
0:05:45 > 0:05:47- cos you are in the business. - Yes, yes, yes.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49I work at a bank, so I'll be looking after the money
0:05:49 > 0:05:51and do all the negotiating.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- Will you?- Yes. - And what do you do in the bank?
0:05:53 > 0:05:57Oh, I supervise the cashiers at the moment.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59What is the best part of the job?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02It's meeting the people, chatting to people, helping them with things.
0:06:02 > 0:06:03Now, what is it going to be like,
0:06:03 > 0:06:06you two going off and doing the shopping together?
0:06:06 > 0:06:07Are you going to agree on everything?
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- Oh, I shouldn't think so. - No, no, no.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11There will be some discord.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- Go with the flow.- Go with the flow, hopefully spend all your money.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Anyway, talking about money, here comes the £300. £300.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21There is your £300. You know the rules. Your experts await.
0:06:21 > 0:06:22And off you go!
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Very, very, very good luck.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28I never thought I'd stand next door to a Bond girl.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30The supporting cast today
0:06:30 > 0:06:32are experts Natasha Raskin,
0:06:32 > 0:06:35who's striking the right chord for the Reds.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38And mirror, mirror on the wall,
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Mark Stacey is the fairest of them all.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45- What I would like to know is what we are looking for here today.- Wendy.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Well, I love blue-and-white china.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50I just think it looks so peaceful and elegant-looking.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- Are you ready for this? - Yes, we're ready.- Yes.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55What are the plans? Come on, you've got thoughts.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- Well, I think we're going to buy cheap.- Oh, I don't know...
0:06:58 > 0:07:00I love Staffordshire
0:07:00 > 0:07:03of all kinds, but not the flat-back Staffordshire. I don't like those.
0:07:03 > 0:07:04They are too big and unwieldy.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Small things, I think.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09- Don't want anything too big, really, do we?- Small and profitable?- Yes.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10What I'd like to know is,
0:07:10 > 0:07:13with these gorgeous actresses, is there going to be high drama?
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- Oh.- No.- Yes?
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Well, you never know, it depends what we see.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19I might see something I love and you don't.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Let's find out. Oh, my goodness, we've already got our lines drawn.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24OK, teams, your 60 minutes starts...
0:07:25 > 0:07:27..now!
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- Time to go...- ALL:- Bargain-hunting!
0:07:31 > 0:07:35It is the boys versus girls. The Reds versus the Blues.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38And they are off to a flying start.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- There is a very quirky mix, isn't there?- Yes, yes.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Lots of different things.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- Mid-20th century. - I would've thought, yes.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53It has got that kind of appeal, which is loft apartment.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56I think, in that condition, it is a not from me.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58- But I like the idea.- Yeah, so do I.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Those are quite fun, aren't they? Those rabbit things.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Oh, Mark, they are a hideous colour.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Don't you like turquoise?
0:08:05 > 0:08:06- Not really.- I love turquoise.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- Oh, yes! Yes, yes, yes! - Oh, that is very theatre, isn't it?
0:08:14 > 0:08:15That is very theatre.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Oh, goody. The Reds have already found some blue-and-white.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23Wendy has got this lovely bath-cum-planter in her hands.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- £75.- 75. Now...
0:08:26 > 0:08:28- Can I stop holding this, Natasha? - Yes, you can!
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- Put it down.- Shall I put it down? - That's absolutely fine.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33I think there is probably going to be lots of blue-and-white
0:08:33 > 0:08:35- out at this fair.- Really?
0:08:35 > 0:08:38But do you know, in all the times that I've sold blue-and-white
0:08:38 > 0:08:39in the auction house -
0:08:39 > 0:08:42millions of times - I've never sold one like that.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- It is probably not the most unusual thing.- No, I like that.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47But I have not sold one before, so I'm thinking,
0:08:47 > 0:08:49how often do these come up at auction,
0:08:49 > 0:08:51these planters-cum-baths, whatever they are?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53They have taken the time, which I think is really nice,
0:08:53 > 0:08:56to put a pattern not only all the way on the outside
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- but all the way on the inside, too. - Yes.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- So there's a bit of quality there. - Absolutely.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02- So how much are we going to go? - So, Wendy, can I persuade you?
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- Yes, you can. I would like that. - All right, my love.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Hello. We love blue-and-white between us,
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- but this is Wendy's particular love affair.- Yes.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Why do you rate it so much?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- Because it is an unusual pattern. - Yes.
0:09:15 > 0:09:20It is late-19th-century Victorian. It is a foot bath.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22- MADDIE:- A foot bath?!
0:09:22 > 0:09:23A Victorian foot bath.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Oh, what fun.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Would you take 40 for it?
0:09:27 > 0:09:28No.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- That is the way we want to do it, direct.- 45?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34I will do 50.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36- Oh, what a gentleman. - What do you reckon?
0:09:36 > 0:09:40I think at £50, we all get something out of it. Is that right?
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- That's fine.- Shall we go for it, then?
0:09:42 > 0:09:44- Yes.- Who is ready to shake for it? Who is doing the first shake?
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- Wendy.- Me. But don't drop it.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49That's great. Thank you so much.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52- You're very welcome. - Right, item one.- Item one.- Done.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56They said they wanted blue-and-white, and blue-and-white they got.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59They are sticking to the script after all.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02The gents, on the other hand, don't seem to be in any sort of rush.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- Right, come on.- Another clock.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- Oh, no, clocks. No!- OK.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15- We need to buy something. - Yeah, we need to...- OK.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19And this is quite a fun item, actually. This is a pepper pot.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Silver mounted. Nice turned wood.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- How old?- I don't think it is terribly old, actually, that one.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- Edwardian, I'd have thought. - Do you think it's as old as that?
0:10:27 > 0:10:29- Oh, really? - Turn-of-the-century.- Is it?
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- I really like that, actually. And it is £22.- Yes.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33These are quite collectible.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37If this came in for auction, I would estimate it at 30 to 50,
0:10:37 > 0:10:38maybe £40 to £60.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42- Wow.- And I think that may do well. So even at 22, it is reasonable.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44If we can just get a little bit off it, it gives us
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- a bit more potential profit. - All right, then, we'll go for that.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- Yeah, yeah. I like that. - How much could you do it for?
0:10:50 > 0:10:5120.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55Oooh. 19, so we have a chance of making a little profit?
0:10:55 > 0:10:57- Eh...- Oh!
0:10:57 > 0:10:59He's getting ahead there, isn't he?
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- Don't... What do you do for a living?- Bank.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04- Yeah, quite. - THEY LAUGH
0:11:04 > 0:11:08- That sums it up, doesn't it? I think we can do 18, can't we?- Yes, we can.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- Are you happy with 18?- 17?
0:11:10 > 0:11:11Go on, go on.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- I started something now, haven't I? - You want us to win, don't you?
0:11:14 > 0:11:15We'll stick at 18, I think.
0:11:15 > 0:11:1717.50. Go on.
0:11:17 > 0:11:2050s? Come on.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24- I think, to be honest with you, £18 is a very good price for that.- OK.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26I think you should shake the gentleman's hand
0:11:26 > 0:11:27and say, "Yes, please."
0:11:27 > 0:11:28OK, we'll shake on 18.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Thank you very much.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- Well, that just might add a bit of flavour to our profits.- Yeah.- OK.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- I like it.- It is cheap enough. - Flavour to profits. FLAVOUR.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- Oh, flavour.- Flavour?
0:11:39 > 0:11:42We got it, Mark. Very good.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Now, they say actresses can be flighty,
0:11:44 > 0:11:47so how are our team Red performing?
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Right, Maddie is off on...
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Maddie has gone for a recce.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Ah-ha! Some Staffordshire.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Team members?
0:11:56 > 0:11:58- We're being summoned.- Stop chatting.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00We are just having a chat, and you're working!
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Stop chatting because I've found some lovely little Staffordshires.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05- Staffordshire, Wendy, Staffordshire.- Lovely.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- They're sweet.- Aren't they? - What's the best thing about them?
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- Surely the fact they're a pair. - One is a girl and one is a boy.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- One is a lad.- I like his sporran and his kilt.- Yes.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16That is right up my street.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19The thing is, we need to think about, will they make any money?
0:12:19 > 0:12:23- At 120, no.- I'm a little bit scared that an auction estimate on those
0:12:23 > 0:12:25- is going to be around £50 to £80. - I agree with you.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Shall we think about it and move on?
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- All right.- Or do you really want to go for it?- OK. No, I don't have to.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32You don't have to? Good spot, cos you were after that.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34I do adore them, but we might come back.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Right. Shall we move on?
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- Yes.- OK, thank you. After you, ladies.- Yes, ma'am.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Sorry, Maddie, James Bond himself couldn't get that
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Staffordshire for a bargain.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- It's your thing, isn't it?- Yeah.- You really like globes.- I like globes.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51It's very of its period. I mean, have you noticed, it's not English?
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- No, that's French, isn't it?- French! - Amerique.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56- So, is there a big market for this sort of thing?- There is.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00I mean, there is a strong market for vintage globes, actually.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02I mean, this one is quite nice
0:13:02 > 0:13:04cos you've got that almost Art Deco base.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- Yeah, I like the Art Deco base. - It is probably 1950s.- Yeah.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10You know, you'd put sort of £40 to £60 on it, I suppose.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- So we need to get it under that. - You'd need to get it down a bit.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15What would you say was your best price, then?
0:13:15 > 0:13:18- I would do £40 on that one.- 45...
0:13:18 > 0:13:19I'll do 40, yes.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Any negotiation on that?
0:13:21 > 0:13:24I think 40 is a pretty good price, actually.
0:13:24 > 0:13:2738, maybe? We've got to try and make a profit.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29- So do I.- I know, I know.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32I brought it all the way from France, it was raining,
0:13:32 > 0:13:33four miles to my van...
0:13:33 > 0:13:36I think there's a sob story coming on.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Exactly. I've got nine children to feed.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40THEY LAUGH
0:13:40 > 0:13:42£38 would be absolutely fine.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46- 38?- Yeah.- Shall we go for that, Mark?- Your choice.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49- Yeah.- Thank you very much. - Thank you.- Good luck with it.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Well done, Blues.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Two pieces bought in the first 20 minutes with the banker
0:13:53 > 0:13:55driving a hard bargain.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- It's going a lot better than I thought it would.- Yeah...
0:13:59 > 0:14:01- I think we've still got time, haven't we?- Yeah.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03We've got enough time to find something else.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Yeah, something we really like, I think.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08So you don't really like the globe and the pepper mill, huh?
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Oh, look, the Reds are over the place again.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- Where is Maddie? Where has Maddie got to?- Over there.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Maddie! There's something over here that is quite cool.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22- What are my team-mates doing? - And look at these excellent seats.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25- Oh, goodness me.- Oh, yes!- Are they not just absolutely gorgeous?
0:14:25 > 0:14:26Oh, wow.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Because they are likely from the theatre or an early cinema or
0:14:29 > 0:14:31- something like that.- Are we allowed to sit on them to try them?
0:14:31 > 0:14:35- By all means, yes.- Have a wee seat. - They're fantastic.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37They are fantastic, aren't they?
0:14:37 > 0:14:41Are they stable? Yes. And they're still adjustable.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43- Are they theatre or cinema? - I think they're...
0:14:43 > 0:14:45What do you reckon? Probably cinema.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48- I would say cinema. - Yeah, cinema.- 1940s, probably.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51But they are fab, aren't they? Do you want to have a wee sit?
0:14:51 > 0:14:54And then they came from a cinema with a sloping floor,
0:14:54 > 0:14:59- so we've just put them on wood. - To balance them up.- Yeah.- Yes.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- How does that feel?- They're lovely, aren't they?- They are pretty cool.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Comfortable! You could sort of...
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Are we going to buy some cinema seats, then?
0:15:07 > 0:15:09They're the best seats in the house.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12What kind of price have you got on them?
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Well, we have been asking 250 for the pair.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- I don't know if we're going to make that back at auction.- Right.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20It is a case of taking a massive risk.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24But this lady is lovely and she'll let us have them for loads less.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26I mean, what would you be willing to pay for them?
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- That is the question I would ask. - Would you take 150 on them?
0:15:29 > 0:15:30Yes, I would do it.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Thank you so much. Thank you.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37MUSIC: James Bond Theme A hug from a Bond girl...
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Well, I never did!
0:15:39 > 0:15:41And what an appropriate purchase for our lovely loveys.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47- That's really nice. - Yes, it is a sort of silver-plate.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50I just like the organic feel about it.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54Well, it has got all the right sort of influences of the Art Nouveau.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56But it is whether it is going to make any money, Mark.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58It isn't marked, which is always a shame.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00- It'd be quite nice to have a mark on it.- Oh, right.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03If we really want it, we can speak to the dealer and see
0:16:03 > 0:16:05whether we can negotiate a price.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08- Yeah, I am happy with that.- Are you happy with that?- Yeah. Thanks, Mark.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Yeah, that is brilliant.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14Always good to have one in the bank because time is a-ticking.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- Well, yes, I'm...- She is off again! Maddie!- Off she goes again.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22- Honestly.- Oh, she has probably spotted something we could do with.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Is the crab the wildest thing you've ever seen?
0:16:24 > 0:16:28Yes, it is very wild. Whether I like it or not, I don't know.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30- He is actually rather smashing. - He is quite smashing.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34- I quite like him.- On a wall... On a white wall...- Look at that.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37- He's wonderful.- A pantomime clock. It's a pantomime clock.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40It is a sort of tinny metal. And then look at this.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Do you think is a sort of down at the end of the pier kind of prop?
0:16:43 > 0:16:46It is a sort of like a prop from a sort of
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- pantomime or something like Peter Pan or...- Yeah.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- Something to do with the sea and pirates.- You may be right.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55I don't know. I mean, I wouldn't like it in my home.
0:16:55 > 0:16:56I was about to say, would you let
0:16:56 > 0:16:57this to adorn your living room?
0:16:57 > 0:17:00No. I think it is quirky enough
0:17:00 > 0:17:03that it might actually sell.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- Well, I think we need to inquire as to its price.- Where is the person?
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Side shuffle back to us.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- Sideways going?- Yes!
0:17:11 > 0:17:12She is mad as a brush.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15MUSIC: Live And Let Die You are all mad, Reds.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16And we love it.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Now, how are the cool Blues getting on?
0:17:19 > 0:17:23- The hour just isn't enough to take it all in, is it?- No.- Yeah, I know.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24Mark, there was one thing.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28I saw a mirror over on that stall we passed just a minute ago.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30- OK, do you want show me?- Can we go and have a look at that?- Yes.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34I see, going back to the first stall, eh? Clever.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38- The first thing you can tell, it's not English.- No, looks French to me.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40I think it is French, you are absolutely right.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43And this is very much sort of that Empire style,
0:17:43 > 0:17:45- or even Egyptian-esque style.- Yeah.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- Yeah.- I think this is somewhere at the beginning of the 20th century.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50I mean, it feels like silver to me.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53I mean, this is the sort of thing you'd find on a lady's dressing...
0:17:53 > 0:17:55And it is still usable, isn't it?
0:17:55 > 0:17:59- It is still usable. You like it. - I do.- I like it.- And I like it.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- How much is it?- £78.- £78.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Well, that is not a bad start, is it?
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- Is there any wriggle room in that? - A little. A little.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10See where... Where can you start off with?
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Well, shall we start off
0:18:12 > 0:18:15with a really ridiculous offer? £60.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19- So not that ridiculous.- No!
0:18:19 > 0:18:22It is reasonable, but I need a little bit more than that.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25- You're going to come up a bit more.- How about 65?
0:18:25 > 0:18:29- I think that is quite reasonable. - At 65, yes?- I think it is a deal.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32- Are you happy with that, Mark? - I am very happy with that.
0:18:32 > 0:18:33That is a reasonable price to pay.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- Brilliant. Thank you very much. - Thank you.
0:18:36 > 0:18:37I am so happy with that.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41- And we have got three things! - And we're finished.- Yes!
0:18:41 > 0:18:42Excellent work, team -
0:18:42 > 0:18:45all finished with ten minutes to spare.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49- Who is putting the kettle on? - Oh, he can.- No, not me.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51THEY LAUGH
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Milk, no sugar for me, please.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57Meanwhile, the Reds are about to find out the cost of the tin crab.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59How much is this?
0:18:59 > 0:19:02- £85.- £85?!
0:19:02 > 0:19:03- 'No!'- No, no.
0:19:03 > 0:19:08- Yes, it's made by Mexican artisan families.- Yeah...
0:19:08 > 0:19:13And they're all made out of old oil drums, any metal they can get.
0:19:13 > 0:19:14I don't think we can afford this.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Do it for 70, sir.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17- 75?- 80 is best.
0:19:17 > 0:19:1880 is the best.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Do we do it for 80, Natasha?
0:19:20 > 0:19:22- Um, uh...- You are the oracle.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23I...I...
0:19:23 > 0:19:26We are running out of time, but I am worried at 80.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- I am worried at 80.- Yes.- Are you?
0:19:28 > 0:19:30- Not 75 even?- 'No, sorry.'
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Well, I think we have to say no then, don't we?
0:19:32 > 0:19:33'Do we have to say no?'
0:19:33 > 0:19:37It is up to you, but I'm worried. Personally, I am worried at 80.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39- What does that leave you? - It leaves me 20 quid.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41And I've made money on less, so don't worry about that.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43We'll take it then.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47We'll take it then. Because I think it is worth the gamble.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50I hope we make a fortune out of it.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53We are going to lose brilliantly, but it will have been a lot of fun.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55I think we can all just burst into Que Sera.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58I think that would be a nice thing to do right now.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01Time is up!
0:20:01 > 0:20:05Ladies, we have snapped up three pretty wild items.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08And I have been thrilled
0:20:08 > 0:20:10- to spend the last hour with you. - Oh, thank you.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12- I think we need to wish ourselves a little bit of luck at auction.- Yes.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15So let's go and have a sit down and just sort of think about
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- what we've done.- And have a drink. - Yeah. Yes, please, let's go.
0:20:18 > 0:20:19Thank you.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Let's check out what the Red team bought, eh?
0:20:24 > 0:20:27The girls went wild for the blue-and-white foot bath.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34They were crazy about the cinema chairs, and spent £150 on them.
0:20:34 > 0:20:35And guess what?
0:20:35 > 0:20:38They were bonkers about the tin crab
0:20:38 > 0:20:41and shelled out - ha - £80 for it.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Those girls sure know how to spend money!
0:20:43 > 0:20:46I say, I say, I say!
0:20:46 > 0:20:47How lovely.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49- Have you had a lovely time? - Absolutely fantastic.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- It was good, was it? - Really enjoyed it. Yes, it was.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53Yeah. Did the time whiz by?
0:20:53 > 0:20:57- Awfully quick.- Awfully quick. And which is your favourite piece, Mads?
0:20:57 > 0:21:00- The Mexican crab.- Good.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04It sounds like some sort of dance, doesn't it, really? Or worse.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06It's make or break, I think, with the crab, but I do love it.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- Was the crab your favourite too, Wendy?- Not really.
0:21:09 > 0:21:14- My favourite thing was the blue-and-white foot bath.- Good.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17And is that going to bring the biggest profit, do you think?
0:21:17 > 0:21:19- I think it's got a good chance, yes. - Yes, you do?- I think.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23- In total, how much did you spend? - 280.- 280.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Please, may I have 20?
0:21:25 > 0:21:26Lovely. Jolly good.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- Don't spend it all at once. - No, no, it's not for me.
0:21:29 > 0:21:30- It is for her indoors.- Thank you.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Who is going to go out now and go forth and multiply.
0:21:33 > 0:21:34Aren't you, Natasha.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Yeah, well, as you can tell, Tim, the last hour has been...
0:21:37 > 0:21:38- Quite tiring.- ..quite wild.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41So I'm going to amble around and find something,
0:21:41 > 0:21:43like these ladies, that is fun and games.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Which is absolute marvellous, Natasha, thank you very much.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50But right now, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:21:51 > 0:21:54The charming pepper grinder cost the Blues just £18.
0:21:56 > 0:22:01The world is their oyster with the 1960s French globe.
0:22:01 > 0:22:06And here's looking at you, team. The silver mirror, bought for £65.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08- So, how was that for you? - I really enjoyed it.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09Time goes really quickly.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12- It does.- Oh, yeah. - When you are enjoying yourself.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14- Oh, yes, spending other people's money.- Fiddling about.
0:22:14 > 0:22:19- No better guide than Mark Stacey. - No.- No.- Uh, well...
0:22:19 > 0:22:21- How much did you spend?- Steve.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23- 121.- Did you? 121.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25So, please, may have 179?
0:22:25 > 0:22:29- I have got it somewhere safe.- OK. What is your favourite piece?
0:22:29 > 0:22:30Oh, I like my globe.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- You like your globe. Do you agree with that?- No, not really.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36I like my mirror. I thought that was a good quality piece.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38- Do you ever agree with Steve? - No, not really.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41THEY LAUGH That is your favourite.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Is it going to bring the biggest profit?
0:22:43 > 0:22:45- No, I don't think so. - What is going to?
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- The pepper grinder.- I agree. - It was found by our expert.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Well, he is pretty hot stuff himself.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52He doesn't need peppered up. There you go.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55What are you going to spend all that cash on, Mark Stacey?
0:22:55 > 0:22:56Well, we've got...
0:22:56 > 0:22:59We've taken a trip around the world with the globe. I think I'm going
0:22:59 > 0:23:00- to look East.- Are you?
0:23:00 > 0:23:03- BOTH:- Aaah! - There is a bit of a hint.- Yeah.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05You've got a little bit of time because we are about to head off
0:23:05 > 0:23:07to Winchester Cathedral.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16What a marvel this 11th-century building is.
0:23:16 > 0:23:21It has the longest nave of any medieval cathedral in Europe
0:23:21 > 0:23:25and is full of antiquities that reveal our rich, fascinating history.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Behind me is the West Window,
0:23:30 > 0:23:35a simply vast expanse of stained glass.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39And when this was originally completed in 1375
0:23:39 > 0:23:45by Thomas of Oxford, it told the story of the life of Christ.
0:23:45 > 0:23:46And it is interesting, isn't it?
0:23:46 > 0:23:51If you consider that at that time the population was largely
0:23:51 > 0:23:56illiterate and stained glass, pictorially, enabled the story
0:23:56 > 0:24:00to be understood by practically everyone.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04But today, that window tells a slightly different story.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08For 250 years,
0:24:08 > 0:24:12the window stood proudly at the entrance of the cathedral.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15But come the English Civil War in 1642,
0:24:15 > 0:24:19when Cromwell's forces tried to overthrow King Charles,
0:24:19 > 0:24:22the magnificent stained glass came under attack.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29To help uncover the West Window's past
0:24:29 > 0:24:32is local historian Dr Louise Hill Curth,
0:24:32 > 0:24:35who is an expert in the Civil War period.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39So how does this window differ from the original?
0:24:39 > 0:24:41This window is made up of many,
0:24:41 > 0:24:45many thousands of pieces of tiny broken medieval glass.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49The original window was destroyed sometime in the 1640s
0:24:49 > 0:24:53when the Parliamentarians came in and pillaged the cathedral.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57Why was Winchester targeted by the Parliamentarians?
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Winchester was a Royalist stronghold.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02We have a castle, we have the cathedral.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06And the Winchesterians were very, very strong supporters
0:25:06 > 0:25:07of King Charles.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10When they came into Winchester and attacked,
0:25:10 > 0:25:13they destroyed buildings all along the way to the cathedral.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16And when they got to the cathedral, the stories go, that they
0:25:16 > 0:25:20destroyed or stole everything they possibly could,
0:25:20 > 0:25:23and this included destroying the stained glass windows.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29Cromwell's forces were determined to use violence to obliterate
0:25:29 > 0:25:31certain symbols in Britain's churches.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33But here they failed.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37Instead, the smashed glass was kept safe. And when peace was restored,
0:25:37 > 0:25:41so was the West Window, in a new and different way.
0:25:41 > 0:25:42When we look at the window,
0:25:42 > 0:25:45you must remember that it is many, many thousands of pieces
0:25:45 > 0:25:51of medieval glass that were broken and then replaced or renovated.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Now, there is a figure which is...
0:25:53 > 0:25:54It looks like one person,
0:25:54 > 0:25:57but it is actually made up of bits of original
0:25:57 > 0:26:01figures of different people which now looks like one completed figure.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05So, what is it that is important about this window?
0:26:05 > 0:26:06I think, actually, we need to ask
0:26:06 > 0:26:10what is so important about the survival of the window
0:26:10 > 0:26:11and the cathedral.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14This cathedral dates back to the 11th century.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16It is a major part of our heritage.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19And today, we can see it in its magnificence
0:26:19 > 0:26:22and beauty despite centuries of war.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31It is a thrilling experience to be able to wander
0:26:31 > 0:26:34in one of our historic cathedrals.
0:26:34 > 0:26:39So much history safely gathered under a single roof.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43And the West Window, of course, is a reminder to us that
0:26:43 > 0:26:47when something is broken, it is not necessarily lost.
0:26:47 > 0:26:52The big question today for our teams over at the auction is,
0:26:52 > 0:26:56are they going to find themselves in lots of little pieces or
0:26:56 > 0:26:59simply have a smashing time? HE CHUCKLES
0:27:02 > 0:27:03Half an hour up the road
0:27:03 > 0:27:06are Special Auction Services, in Greenham,
0:27:06 > 0:27:09where our bargain hunters are putting their purchases to the test.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Thomas Plant is wielding the gavel.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13And I caught up with him about our items.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18- Thomas, it is grand be here. - It is a pleasure to have you.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21What we have got here is an amazing selection of stuff.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24First up is this blue-and-white foot bath.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27- For washing one's feet after a long day.- Exactly.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31- It is not very old.- No. - It was probably made...- Last year?
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Late 20th century. It could be last year.
0:27:33 > 0:27:38It is directly a copy of a Mason's Ironstone one
0:27:38 > 0:27:40in a transfer blue-and-white.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- It is decorative.- Exactly. But brand-new, effectively,
0:27:43 > 0:27:44What is it worth?
0:27:44 > 0:27:48- £20 to £30.- OK. - That is being generous.- Yes.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51I'm afraid to say that £50 was paid. We'll see what happens.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Now, we have got the cinema chairs. They're fun, aren't they?
0:27:54 > 0:27:55I love the cinema chairs.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58- If you were a cinema buff... - Exactly.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00..and you didn't have a home cinema, you'd still like them.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04You could put them in a corner of a room where you can show your movies.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06And get a tub of popcorn
0:28:06 > 0:28:09and a couple of cans of something fizzy, right?
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Snuggle down in those chairs.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14And I tell you, you would be back in the ODEON in 1935.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18- Right. How much?- 80 to 100. - OK, 150 paid.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20Well, you know, it is the opportunity.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23- It should make money.- And then lastly, we've got this old crab.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26- The crab.- It could be 1980s. It could be even later.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29- It is just made out of some old scrap metal, isn't it?- It is.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33It is handmade. It is not beautifully done.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35It has been done with a bit of oxyacetylene on here.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37You can see the way they've done it.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40It's a horrible thing. How much is it worth?
0:28:40 > 0:28:42- £20 to £30.- OK, £20 to £30.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44- 80 paid.- Right, OK.- OK?
0:28:44 > 0:28:47- They have taken some serious chances here.- They have.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50And I have a horrible feeling it is going to go most horribly
0:28:50 > 0:28:53wrong for them and they are going to need their bonus buy.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55So we need now, Tom,
0:28:55 > 0:28:57to shuffle off, without you,
0:28:57 > 0:28:58secretly,
0:28:58 > 0:29:00to check out the bonus buy.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02Don't we?
0:29:02 > 0:29:05Look, you spent £280. I am so proud of you girls!
0:29:05 > 0:29:07You only gave £20 to Natasha Raskin
0:29:07 > 0:29:10to go and find your bonus buy. What did you find, Nattie?
0:29:10 > 0:29:11Poor little sweetie.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13- I didn't have a lot of money, did I? - No. Sorry about that.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16So I kept it cheap but cheerful. I thought, fun and games.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19- I think if you remember, I said, "Fun and games."- You did.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21And I thought, talking of games,
0:29:21 > 0:29:23I don't know if you ladies play bridge at all.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25No. Too stupid.
0:29:25 > 0:29:26- THEY LAUGH - Not the game, me.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29Not true, not true. But it is very popular.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32- Parlour games have become so popular.- Hugely.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35And this is a wee trump marker. So you have little slabs here
0:29:35 > 0:29:38that show you the different suits of the cards. Do you play bridge, Tim?
0:29:38 > 0:29:41- You nominate the suits or something like that.- You do, you do.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44I think in the contemporary game, this is done with a wee box.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46- Is that silver? - It's not. It is silver-plated.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48It looks like ivory, but it is ivorine.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50And it is just a sweet wee thing.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53- It is kind of falling to bits, but I loved it.- How old is it?
0:29:53 > 0:29:56How old is it? I wouldn't think it was terribly old, sort of 1950s,
0:29:56 > 0:29:57'60s, something like that.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59- But I only paid four pounds for it. - Really?- Mm.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02Four pounds. So it is really nothing.
0:30:02 > 0:30:03But we did take quite a few risks, ladies,
0:30:03 > 0:30:06- so I thought, "Let's bring the risk level down a little bit."- Yes.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10- That's interesting(!)- OK, well, you like that, don't you?- I love it.
0:30:10 > 0:30:11You don't pick now, Wendy,
0:30:11 > 0:30:14you pick after the sale of your first three items.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16Right now, for the audience at home,
0:30:16 > 0:30:21let's find out whether the auctioneer thinks that Natasha is onto a winner.
0:30:21 > 0:30:25- So, there you go, Tom.- Yeah. I love bridge things.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27And this is very respectable,
0:30:27 > 0:30:31electroplated bridge marker with IVORINE markers, slightly faded.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34- Which is another word for plastic, really, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36It is a fancy word for plastic.
0:30:36 > 0:30:37But it is at the bottom
0:30:37 > 0:30:41of the pecking order of bridge trump markers.
0:30:41 > 0:30:42Poor Natasha only had £20,
0:30:42 > 0:30:44and she went out and she spent a modest amount.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46What is your estimate on that?
0:30:46 > 0:30:48I think we put ten to £15 on it.
0:30:48 > 0:30:49Well, the girl only spent four pounds.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52- She spent the right amount, didn't she?- Perfect.
0:30:52 > 0:30:53Which is a perfect bonus buy
0:30:53 > 0:30:55if you've only got that modest amount to buy.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Exciting, though. Whatever is going to happen, Tom?
0:30:57 > 0:30:59- Absolutely.- It is a weird group.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Not quite as weird but getting on that way
0:31:01 > 0:31:05for Mark Stacey and Andy and Steve
0:31:05 > 0:31:08is the pepper mill. Now, that is a classic of its type.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11- It has got a retailer's name to it - Park, Green and Co.- Lovely.
0:31:11 > 0:31:16And they are well known for making pepper mills. I like this very much.
0:31:16 > 0:31:21- Good. And it is silver, right? Solid silver?- Silver banding.- 1960s silver.
0:31:21 > 0:31:22What is it worth?
0:31:22 > 0:31:25- I put £20 to £30 on it.- Fair enough. Mark found it. He paid £18.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28He paid the right price. And that is cheap, really, as a retail price.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32- Now, the globe. I mean, do you like that one?- I do like this one.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34- It is a French one.- Yeah. Well, we can't hold that against it.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36No, we can't hold that against it.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39- Does it date from the 1950s, that thing?- 1960s.- Right.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42What do you think it is worth? Is it worth £100?
0:31:42 > 0:31:45- But because of the base...- Yes.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48It has been squashed here, which is a real shame.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50- £20 to £30.- Really?- Mm.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52£38 paid.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54I don't see a problem. It might make more.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56- Do you know, I've got a funny feeling about it.- Good.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58Now, moving on, we have got the little hand mirror.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00Is it made of a precious metal?
0:32:00 > 0:32:02I think it probably is going to be a silver.
0:32:02 > 0:32:06It has got that sort of Renaissance-y look to the wings.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09- And the grotesque, yeah. - That is a quality thing.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12- And it is a lovely size.- Exactly. What is it worth?- £40 to £60.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16- OK, £65 he paid.- Well, he's got to get the upper end.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18It might get the upper end. But it is just a hand mirror.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20And if you see the better hand mirrors,
0:32:20 > 0:32:24- the larger sized ones, they do make £50 to £80.- Yeah.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27I mean, they have taken some chances, these Blues.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29There was a pile of leftover lolly.
0:32:29 > 0:32:34Let us find out what Mark Stacey spent the leftover lolly on.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38- Well, excitement or not?- Yes, yes. Looking forward to this.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41- What, the leftover lolly?- Yes. - Well, you only spent the 121.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45You gave Mark Stacey £179. Mark, what did you spend it on?
0:32:45 > 0:32:50- I spent it on this.- Oh!- Oooh!- Which I think is absolutely wonderful.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54It is... White metal, we'd call it, but actually it's silver.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56- Indian.- Right, OK.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59It is not marked, of course, but the detailing is quite good.
0:32:59 > 0:33:03And I would have said it is sort of late 19th century, 1900 or so.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05- Wow, quite old then. - During the Raj period.
0:33:05 > 0:33:06- Want to have a look?- Yeah.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09And these things now, I think, are becoming a lot more collectible.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11What do you think, Stevie Wonder?
0:33:11 > 0:33:14I like it. But the important question is, how much did you spend?
0:33:14 > 0:33:18- Well, I paid a very modest £60 for that.- Not bad.
0:33:18 > 0:33:19- Which I think is quite reasonable. - Yeah.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22So, how much do you think it is going to make, Mark?
0:33:22 > 0:33:25Well, I'd like to see it making about 100 or so.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28- £80 to £100.- Wow.- I think that is perfectly reasonable,
0:33:28 > 0:33:30particularly with the internet these days.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Got all the information you need,
0:33:32 > 0:33:34- Stevie Wonder?- Um... I think so.
0:33:34 > 0:33:38- You are anxious about it, Andy, are you?- Oh, no, not at all.- Not at all.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40THEY LAUGH
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Well, that's great. OK, everybody is happy.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45Right now, for the audience at home, let's find out whether our auctioneer
0:33:45 > 0:33:46is equally happy.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49Right. Silver?
0:33:49 > 0:33:51This is a piece of Indian silver,
0:33:51 > 0:33:56possibly from the Lucknow region in India. It is a good canister.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59- I like it. - You could use it for tea.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01If you wanted to keep your Indian tea
0:34:01 > 0:34:05in an Indian silver tea canister, nothing more perfect.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08It is sort of air-tight, too, which is lovely, keep it nice and fresh.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10- My estimate was £50 to £70.- Was it?
0:34:10 > 0:34:13Well, that is brilliant, spot on, cos Mark paid 60.
0:34:13 > 0:34:14And he paid that retail.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17If you can get 50 to 70 at the auction, that would be brilliant.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20- Well, it deserves to. - It does, doesn't it?- It does, 100%.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23Very good, Tom. Well, we are looking forward to your action in a minute.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25- Thank you very much. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:34:25 > 0:34:29Time for Thomas to take to the rostrum. Stand by.

0:34:40 > 0:34:42- Are you?- Excited. The knees are going.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44- My knees tend to lock.- Are they?
0:34:44 > 0:34:47- Yes.- Is that the same with you, Wendy?- Yes, absolutely.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49Really, really looking forward to this.
0:34:49 > 0:34:53And first up is your blue-and-white foot bath.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Stand by for a bloodbath, here it comes.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57Lot number 110.

0:35:27 > 0:35:29Room bidder has it at 50. Once.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31- Oh, so close!- Wiped its face.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34- But that is so much better than they thought.- Brilliant.
0:35:34 > 0:35:35Than I thought!
0:35:35 > 0:35:39- What do I know?- Lot 111, a pair of Art Deco cinema chairs.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42Start me here at £60. 60 I have.
0:35:42 > 0:35:43- Oh, straight in.- '60 in front.'

0:40:57 > 0:40:58- It is so close.- So close.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01- Not a sheet of Bronco in it. - No, not at all.- Very good.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04Anyway, that is overall minus £35.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06- THEY GROAN - It could be a winning score.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08It could be a winning score.

0:41:11 > 0:41:12- I have.- You know all the jargon.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17And the next line is, "Don't say a word to the Reds," Right?
0:41:17 > 0:41:18No, not a problem.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26Well, well, well. Looking at this lot, you could say it
0:41:26 > 0:41:29is a bit of a disaster, couldn't you? THEY LAUGH
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Neither team are going home with profits.
0:41:32 > 0:41:33- CONTESTANTS:- Oh, no!
0:41:33 > 0:41:37But there are great similarities between our teams in that both
0:41:37 > 0:41:39achieved a wiped face, which is
0:41:39 > 0:41:43as close as you can get to getting a profit on objects.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45Both teams only made one profit
0:41:45 > 0:41:49on all the items that they sold, each.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Which overall, didn't help them to any great total.
0:41:51 > 0:41:56So there you have it. The runners-up today by fair old chalk are the Reds.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58Yes!
0:41:58 > 0:42:01- We had a feeling. - BLUES CHEER
0:42:01 > 0:42:04Minus £119 is a fair old wodge, isn't it?
0:42:04 > 0:42:06- Amazing!- Yes, as you say.
0:42:06 > 0:42:12Only mitigated by your only profit on Natasha's lovely bonus buy,
0:42:12 > 0:42:14which was four pounds invested,
0:42:14 > 0:42:16managed to secure a profit of a pound.
0:42:16 > 0:42:21- Did you have a good time, Wendy? - Fantastic time. And £119 is nothing.
0:42:21 > 0:42:25It's nothing, not even a nano nothing. Maddie, good for you?
0:42:25 > 0:42:27- I've had a wonderful time. - We're privileged.
0:42:27 > 0:42:28Wonderful time, thank you.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31We are privileged to have had you on our programme, both of you.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34- Sorry for that, Natasha. - And thank you for coming to play.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36But the victors today win by only losing £35.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38THEY CHEER
0:42:38 > 0:42:41Which is quite extraordinary, isn't it, really?
0:42:41 > 0:42:43You did get seven pounds profit on the divine globe.
0:42:43 > 0:42:47But apart from that, let's do not talk about the score.
0:42:47 > 0:42:48THEY LAUGH
0:42:48 > 0:42:50But did you have a good time, you chaps?
0:42:50 > 0:42:52- Brilliant. Yeah, fantastic. - Lovely time.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55It is a pity, with all these things, that they end.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57But anyway, you have been a treat, you chaps.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00- Join us soon for some more Bargain Hunting, yes? ALL:- Yes!
