0:00:02 > 0:00:04MUSIC: Dad's Army Theme
0:00:04 > 0:00:07Today, we are at an ex-military training camp in Oswestry
0:00:07 > 0:00:09on the English-Welsh border.
0:00:11 > 0:00:15These former Army barracks are no longer occupied by troops
0:00:15 > 0:00:19but are instead stuffed full with treasures waiting to be discovered.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24By Jove, this place is just filled to the brim!
0:00:26 > 0:00:30You know the drill - let's go bargain-hunting!
0:00:55 > 0:00:57There are over 200 stalls here
0:00:57 > 0:01:00at the Oswestry Antiques and Collectors Fair.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Today, we've got a mother and daughter in battle
0:01:04 > 0:01:06against a father and daughter.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Armed with a pocket full of cash,
0:01:08 > 0:01:11they have just one hour to scour this fair
0:01:11 > 0:01:13to find the very best bargains.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17Let's take a sneaky peek at what's coming up.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19'The Reds are feeling the pressure...'
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- Shall we go for it? - I'm not convinced.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- You're not convinced? OK, I'm putting it down.- No, no, it's fine!
0:01:25 > 0:01:28'..whilst the Blues are taking it all in their stride.'
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Gosh, that was a quick buy!
0:01:30 > 0:01:34- No messing around. - Have you got somewhere to be(?)
0:01:34 > 0:01:38'And there's a bit of a song and dance over at the auction.'
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Go on, it's worth it!
0:01:40 > 0:01:44'But that's all for later. It is time to meet the teams.'
0:01:45 > 0:01:48We like to think of Bargain Hunt as a family show,
0:01:48 > 0:01:50and today is no exception.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53On my right, we've got mother and daughter, Helen and Anne.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56And on my left, father and daughter, Mike and Jenny.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- Hello. TEAMS:- Hello!
0:01:58 > 0:02:02I like it. Now, first of all, Helen, over to you.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04You used to work for the RAF,
0:02:04 > 0:02:07and I hear you've got some wonderful stories.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10I joined the RAF when I left school. Straight from school, actually.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12And I was lucky enough,
0:02:12 > 0:02:15because I was going out with an RAF fireman at the time,
0:02:15 > 0:02:18I've driven fire engines around the airfield,
0:02:18 > 0:02:20only on a provisional licence, of course.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22I have also done some parachute jumps as well.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- You haven't?- Yeah.- Really? - I did seven...
0:02:25 > 0:02:28I'm a bit concerned. I'm thinking, did you come from up there today?
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- You're on crutches! What's happened?- Um...
0:02:31 > 0:02:37Well, last week, I was coming down the stairs and went, "Whee!"
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- Yeah.- And kind of, like, broke my ankle.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42- But you'll be OK for the hour? - Oh, I'll be fine.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45- That's the spirit. - Fine. A dedicated bargain-hunter!
0:02:45 > 0:02:48But now, Helen, I understand you are a driving instructor.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52Yeah, I've been doing that for about eight years and it's really good
0:02:52 > 0:02:54because you get to meet all sorts of people.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58- It's amazing.- Did you pass your test first time?- No, on the third go.
0:02:58 > 0:02:59Third go, Oh, dear!
0:02:59 > 0:03:02I was second. I failed mine first time for going 34
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- when it was a 30mph limit. - Disgusting!
0:03:05 > 0:03:06Thank you very much(!)
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- Anne, tell me, you're just off to university. Well done.- Thank you.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12- How's it going?- It's not bad.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15I'm in the middle of my freshers' week, so very full-on.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18I remember it well. Long time ago.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Yeah, just started at the University of Manchester
0:03:21 > 0:03:23doing an integrated masters in geography.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25What's your ambition?
0:03:25 > 0:03:29I have a really great interest in either hydrology or meteorology.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33- I really love the weather. - What's the forecast today?
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Sunny!
0:03:35 > 0:03:38The sun's shining on the Reds. We'll wait and see.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39Will you be attacking the shops?
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Will you let Daughter take the lead?
0:03:42 > 0:03:46- On the odd occasion.- Daughter, do you agree? There'll be no fallouts?
0:03:46 > 0:03:50- No, no fallouts. We're too close for that.- No falling down.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Enjoy your time. Now, that's the Reds.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56It's now time for the Blues. Hello, Mike and Jenny.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- Hello!- Now, Mike, tell me, you are a retired man.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- I am indeed. - It's a good place to be.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04It's absolutely wonderful.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06I've a few years to go but, of course,
0:04:06 > 0:04:08you were a head teacher for many years.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12I was. I was a head teacher for 20 years,
0:04:12 > 0:04:15in two different schools in Wolverhampton.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17And it's been absolutely wonderful.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- And tell me, you're in good shape, to me.- Thank you.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23You look a bit of a footballer, cricketer, golfer.
0:04:23 > 0:04:24Any of those sports in retirement?
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Yeah, I've done all those things.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29I've played football since I was a young lad
0:04:29 > 0:04:32and only hung my boots up fairly recently.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34- I'm a big football fan. - I am as well.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38I was born in Norwich and, for my sins,
0:04:38 > 0:04:41I've supported Norwich City fanatically over the years.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Tell me, I understand with a footballing theme,
0:04:44 > 0:04:48Jenny almost came along maybe during a match.
0:04:48 > 0:04:53She was... She very inconveniently decided to be born on a Saturday
0:04:53 > 0:04:57- but, luckily, the delivery room had a television...- Oh, no!
0:04:57 > 0:05:00..and, luckily, Jenny was born at half-time.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05- Wow.- So I was able to catch up on the half-time scores.
0:05:05 > 0:05:06- So, Jenny, Father's retired.- Yeah.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09But of course, for you, life's journey has just started.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- It is.- What are you up to now? - I've just qualified as a midwife,
0:05:12 > 0:05:14which is a really, really amazing job.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17I've had the pleasure of being present
0:05:17 > 0:05:20for 45 beautiful babies being born, which is really amazing.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22I remember each and every one of them.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Your memory today, will you be bouncing around the fair,
0:05:25 > 0:05:26will you be up and down,
0:05:26 > 0:05:29or will Father take the lead? What's the plan?
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Well, let me think about that for a nanosecond.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33No, my daughter will be taking the lead, probably.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37- Yeah.- But I think we'll bounce around and have a great time.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Yeah, we are really excited, really looking forward to it.
0:05:40 > 0:05:45Anyway, talking of money, it's that time where I can dish out the dosh.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- To you true Blues, there is your £300.- Thank you.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52Spend it wisely. Anne and Helen, there is yours, Daughter.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- Thank you.- £300. Now, get out of here. Your experts await.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58I know it's going to be a cracking day.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03And lending a hand to today's teams are our experts.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06On the case for the Reds, it's...
0:06:06 > 0:06:11And blowing her own trumpet for the Blues, it's...
0:06:11 > 0:06:14So, ladies, what are you planning to buy today?
0:06:14 > 0:06:19I wouldn't mind a little bit of silver, maybe, or silver jewellery.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21- I think we'd quite like to buy something silver.- Right.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25And we're also quite into the Chinese-y type of aspect
0:06:25 > 0:06:28when it comes to more vintage, antique pieces.
0:06:28 > 0:06:29And I have absolutely no idea.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33- No idea?- No, I'm just going to go and see what there is.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36The pressure's on. Your time starts now.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37VINTAGE CAR HORN PEEPS
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- Let's go, come on! - All the best, teams!
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Let's get this shop underway.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- Where to first?- Well, it's entirely up to you.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- Down this way.- Down here?- Yeah.- OK.
0:06:50 > 0:06:55- I don't want anything like that. - No.- No!- Absolutely not.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58A lovely leisurely start, teams.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Remember, that hour flies by when you're having fun.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05First up, the Blues did say they had a taste for the Orient.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09They've spotted this very ornate Chinese screen, ticket price £160.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12I'm looking to see if there's any damage to it at all.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- There is some damage to the back. - Is there? Where are you?
0:07:16 > 0:07:20- Oh, right!- There is a crack down there.- Yeah.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22And is this all hand carved?
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Yeah, hand carved. Mother-of-pearl.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27You can see here abalone shell.
0:07:27 > 0:07:28They're lacquered panels.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31What is your best, please?
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- 140?- 140.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37The only thing that puts me off is the damage.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39So that IS going to limit it,
0:07:39 > 0:07:42because people would rather, perhaps, pay more money
0:07:42 > 0:07:45for something that's in better condition.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Do you think 130...
0:07:47 > 0:07:51- You both really like it?- Yeah. - I like it.- There is a chance at 130.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53130?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- Oh, go on, then. - I think we should do it.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00- Yes?- Why not?- Do it. Let's go for it!- OK. Thank you very much.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Thank you.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Gosh, that was a quick buy.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06No messing around.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07Have you got somewhere to be(?)
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Well, that WAS short and sweet.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14One item down in five minutes - I like your style.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Now, let's see how the Reds are doing.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- What's this, Jonathan?- That's half of something, by the looks of it.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- Is that not the other half? - No, that's some scales.- Oh.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- I quite like that.- Oh, what, the inkwell?- Oh, yes, that is nice.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- You've got the lids for them? - Somewhere.- Somewhere? Oh, I see!
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- OK.- It says £45.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37- What do you think? - We've got plenty of time.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40You like it, we know where it is, we can come back to it.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- OK.- Then we can ruin their afternoon by making them look for the lids.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45By having to look for the lids for us.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47No luck there, Team.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Still plenty of time left to peruse and ponder.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Meanwhile, back with the Blues,
0:08:53 > 0:08:57and Jenny has spotted a pretty pair of pearl earrings set with diamonds.
0:08:57 > 0:09:02- Or are they?- Now, I think, for £36, they're not going to be diamond.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04It might mean diamante and pearl
0:09:04 > 0:09:07but, nonetheless, I think they are very, very pretty.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09I think it's more timeless.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11When you look at some of the more classic jewellery
0:09:11 > 0:09:13that people might not wear,
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- I think that is something someone might still buy.- Well spotted.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20I am slightly annoyed I didn't spot those! Well spotted.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- Shall we have a look at them? - Yeah, I think we should.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25- What do you think, Dad? - Yeah, I'm happy to.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29- Can we have a look at these earrings, please?- You may.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Now, you've said diamond and pearl.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- Is that loosely speaking? - No, that is correct.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40And these will be, I think, simulated pearls
0:09:40 > 0:09:42but they're very pretty.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45I really like them. I think they are really nice.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48- They're classic, aren't they? - Absolutely.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51And I think people would wear them from 16 to whatever age.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53- Exactly.- They are sort of timeless.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Appealing to that wider market, Team. I like it.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58- Absolutely.- Yeah. - I really like them.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Do you want to do the deal, then, Jenny?
0:10:01 > 0:10:02- Yeah, absolutely.- Go for it.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06So, do you think you could maybe meet us nearer the £25 mark at all?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- I think we can do that.- Yeah?- Give you a chance.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Brilliant. Thank you ever so much.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15- Thank you.- Thank you. I really appreciate it.- Well done, you!
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Well done, you!
0:10:17 > 0:10:18Gracious, diddly me.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Good gracious, diddly me?!
0:10:20 > 0:10:22That's two for the Blues already,
0:10:22 > 0:10:26and only ten minutes into your shop. Amazing.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28My team are absolutely fantastic.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30They are the dream team.
0:10:30 > 0:10:35Set off, immediately Jenny spotted this screen, bang, bought.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Straight to the next place, some earrings.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Gorgeous earrings.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42She really is fantastic.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43They both are.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47I think that's resounding approval from Caroline. Well done, Team.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51The Reds, however, are taking things at a slower pace.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55It looks a little bit on the dilapidated side, shall we say?
0:10:55 > 0:10:5915 minutes in, Team, and you haven't bought anything yet.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02I think you need a plan, JP.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Let's go for two items outside,
0:11:04 > 0:11:05try and tackle that,
0:11:05 > 0:11:08cos if you want to go for a larger-value item,
0:11:08 > 0:11:12we'll go into one of the big halls and have a look in there.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- OK, then.- Get out of the sun. - OK, yeah, we'll do that.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Ah, so there's a plan in place.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20We just need those purchases now.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23OK, Blues. Let's get some BEAR facts.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26I've seen people buy a teddy bear that looks really scruffy,
0:11:26 > 0:11:29and it's made loads of money, which I don't really understand.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31You don't want to believe everything you see on the telly.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Speak for yourself, Caroline!
0:11:34 > 0:11:37They do, some teddies make really, really good money
0:11:37 > 0:11:39but it's got to be the right one.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Exactly, Caroline.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Very much a specialist field, teddy bears.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48Meanwhile, the Reds are still trying to get one item under their belt.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- It's quite sweet, actually.- Yeah.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- I like it.- How much is it?
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- Cos you spotted a box... - I've got 75.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58You've got £75 on it?
0:11:58 > 0:12:01How do we reckon that would go at auction?
0:12:01 > 0:12:04I don't know. It's interesting, if you like that sort of thing.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06- 50 for cash?- How about 60?
0:12:06 > 0:12:09And then we've got a deal.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- Shall we go for it?- I'm not convinced.- You're not convinced?
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- I'm putting it down.- No, no, it's fine. No, no!
0:12:15 > 0:12:19Uh-oh, you're talking yourself out of it, Team.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Not my decision, he said, with a defensive mode...pose!
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Um..
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- Walk on, come back or just...- OK.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Buy it or leave it, actually.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Precisely, JP! It's time to take charge.
0:12:31 > 0:12:36- I don't want to force it. Let's move on.- OK.- Let's move on.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Oh, so close!
0:12:38 > 0:12:41There's a massive difference between the two teams' tactics today.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45What do you think about these two down here, that knife and fork?
0:12:45 > 0:12:48They would be great if they were silver.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- They don't match.- OK. - Oh, they don't, do they?
0:12:51 > 0:12:53What a shame.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57Oh, that'll be a no, then, Reds. But well spotted, JP.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Right, then, Blues. What's the plan?
0:13:00 > 0:13:02- I think we should go inside...- Yeah.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06..and I think we should be looking out for
0:13:06 > 0:13:08- something like a scent bottle.- OK.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Very specific, Mike!
0:13:10 > 0:13:12So, time to head undercover, Team.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14What about the Reds?
0:13:14 > 0:13:16To save your...
0:13:16 > 0:13:18THEY CHUCKLE
0:13:18 > 0:13:20To save your legs, we'll go inside.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22There is a lot more to see. It's all close together
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- and there will be so much choice. - Yeah.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- I think I will be happy with that. - Even Anne might find something!
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Yeah, maybe.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Blimey, both teams are heading indoors.
0:13:33 > 0:13:3630 minutes in, guys, that's half your time.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37Let's leave the teams to it
0:13:37 > 0:13:41whilst I show you something to really write home about.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Do you write letters?
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Maybe just send e-mails?
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Do you use a fountain pen today?
0:13:53 > 0:13:58Well, if you roll back 240 years ago, you would drop the fountain pen
0:13:58 > 0:14:00and you'll be using a feathered quill
0:14:00 > 0:14:03with this magnificent silver ink stand.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05It's a very grand-looking object.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Pierced little well stands here,
0:14:08 > 0:14:13and they're in what we call the Chinese Chippendale style,
0:14:13 > 0:14:14and if I take these ink stands out
0:14:14 > 0:14:19you'll see their form sits so well.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23And we wonder what was written from this ink stand.
0:14:23 > 0:14:261758, I'm writing my letter to King George II.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29First of all, I shall dip my feathered quill
0:14:29 > 0:14:32into my pot here
0:14:32 > 0:14:35and I would actually have some spare quills here.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39Once I've written my letter, I will take my pounce pot,
0:14:39 > 0:14:42or sander. I would just sand my letter,
0:14:42 > 0:14:45blow it all away to dry the ink.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48This other ink pot would be my spare one.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51So, if I wanted a different colour ink, perhaps,
0:14:51 > 0:14:54I might use that one as an alternative.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58We turn it upside down and of course we can see the all-important maker.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01William Robertson, take a bow.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Wow, what a fine silversmith you were.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Here's our all-important date code -
0:15:05 > 0:15:08we can be so exact in identification -
0:15:08 > 0:15:10and the all-important hallmarks.
0:15:10 > 0:15:15These are Roman numerals here incised into various little parts
0:15:15 > 0:15:18next to the screw mounts.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21And that was for the silversmith to know,
0:15:21 > 0:15:25because on the actual mounted pierced galleries,
0:15:25 > 0:15:27which are detachable by the screw,
0:15:27 > 0:15:30they carry corresponding numerals,
0:15:30 > 0:15:34so one would know where these would sit on this tray.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36It's just a wonderful object.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38The silver market isn't so strong today
0:15:38 > 0:15:41but this object is so period,
0:15:41 > 0:15:45so in keeping to real history, I am very happy with it
0:15:45 > 0:15:48and it will go nowhere in the near future.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Meanwhile, the teams have moved on and they've headed inside.
0:15:59 > 0:16:0235 minutes into their shop, the Blues have bought two items.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04However, incredibly,
0:16:04 > 0:16:07the Reds are still looking to make their first purchase.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11OK, so this is Dutch.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14I mean, profusely carved.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Lots of detail to it.
0:16:16 > 0:16:21Dated 1895, and you'd say it's probably a carriage-warmer.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24You'd put something inside, obviously, to release the heat,
0:16:24 > 0:16:27and it'll come through under the seat or by your feet, obviously...
0:16:27 > 0:16:31But just nicely carved and you can use it to put objects in as well
0:16:31 > 0:16:33if you want to. Just a bit of history.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37- I like that.- I do. I really like it. - How much do you think it'd go for?
0:16:37 > 0:16:40- How much do you think we should ask? - Well, I'd say...
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Personally, if I saw it in a house, I'd probably put £60 to £80,
0:16:43 > 0:16:45- £70 to £100 on it. - I really do like that.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48It's Dutch. English is probably more collectable in England.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50- Yeah.- How much for this one?
0:16:50 > 0:16:53- That can be 195.- 195?
0:16:53 > 0:16:55- Whoa. Ooh.- Gosh.
0:16:55 > 0:16:56Maybe not, then.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Ouch. That's a bit rich, Reds.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Right, come on. You have 20 minutes left
0:17:01 > 0:17:04and you still have to buy all three of your items.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Now, what have the Blues spotted?
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- That's pretty.- That's quite nice.
0:17:10 > 0:17:15- Yeah.- 1918, so I was going to say it's sort of in the Art Deco style.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18I really like it. I'm just a bit concerned -
0:17:18 > 0:17:22is £45 kind of the upper limit of what we'd get for it at auction?
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Yes. Oh, yeah, absolutely.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26- So we'd need to have a good deal on it.- Yeah.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29No messing, Jenny. Very decisive.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30Loving your style.
0:17:32 > 0:17:33Oh, I like that.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Ah, a little vase with a ticket price of £20.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38One would hope silver.
0:17:38 > 0:17:4195, silver. Possibly Greek, it says.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43It looks Oriental to me,
0:17:43 > 0:17:47and that looks like a lily of some description. It's stamped 95.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50It's relatively modern. It's a very simple, straightforward thing.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Yeah. I like it.
0:17:52 > 0:17:53I do. I like that.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- What would be the best on that? - 15 quid's the best I can do.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00- £15.- Yeah.- We'll take it. Thank you very much. We'll take it.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03At last you've bought something! I was beginning to get worried.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Is there anything else you want to have a look at?
0:18:06 > 0:18:10I want to have a look at that hip flask with the nice design on it.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12OK. Just grab that, then.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Because we've got 15 minutes left.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16That's right, JP. Get a move on!
0:18:18 > 0:18:20What about this little desk set?
0:18:20 > 0:18:22That's right up my street, Blues.
0:18:22 > 0:18:23Not the best of sellers.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27- Yeah, OK.- And it's moulded glass as opposed to cut glass,
0:18:27 > 0:18:30and brass mounts as opposed to silver amounts.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- That sounds really picky.- No, no. - It's just not the best.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34It makes the difference.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Now, thoughts on that hip flask, Reds.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41This is Burmese.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43It's going to be silver.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46To which it says on the bottom, "sterling silver."
0:18:46 > 0:18:49OK. Typical decoration, OK.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51You might think, "Well, hang on a minute.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53"Why are they drinking cherry brandy in Burma?"
0:18:53 > 0:18:57But there were a lot of sort of expats in the military out there
0:18:57 > 0:19:00and people working out there.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Traditional embossing, where it's been knocked through.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06They tap away at it to raise the decoration.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- Oh, OK.- And so you've got figures at work in the field
0:19:09 > 0:19:13on this stippled ground. It's quite nicely done, actually.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Asking at the moment - 225.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19I rather like it.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22I do. But if we could get the price down, that'd be great.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23OK.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26The words you're looking for, JP, are "best price".
0:19:26 > 0:19:28175.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31You're a fiver over what I was going to say.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- Push it down a bit. - It's got a little dent in it.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- Are you happy with 170?- Yes.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39- Are you really sure? - Yes.- Really sure.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41- Certain.- We'll take that as well, please.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43- I'm a pushover, aren't I? - Thank you very much.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47- Two items down.- That's great. I like that. That's really nice.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- That's two items of silver.- Yeah. - I want something different now.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- I don't want another silver item. - OK.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56- Let's go.- OK.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58OK, so no more silver, Anne.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00That was two items at one stall.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01You're back on track.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07OK, teams, ten minutes left and you both have to find your last items.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Those are glorious.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13- They're Bilston patch boxes, they're called.- OK.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15And they were for beauty spots.
0:20:15 > 0:20:171800, 1820.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21Now, that one has got some slight crazing to the top of it,
0:20:21 > 0:20:23so it's £85.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26In good condition, they're sort of 200, 300-ish.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28I mean, they are gorgeous things
0:20:28 > 0:20:31but they need to be in perfect condition.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34And it really is all about condition in this game.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37You know you said you were getting a little bit stressy?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39It's horrible when you get to the last minute.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41It's getting very stressy. Hello, sir.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44What? The Blues stressing? Well, I never.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48Hang on, weren't you trying to stay away from silver, Anne?
0:20:48 > 0:20:50That is...
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- Oh, that's quite nice. - It's a kilt pin, OK?
0:20:53 > 0:20:55- Oh, OK.- All right.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59It's a kilt pin with what would look like an amethyst on the top,
0:20:59 > 0:21:01in a shape like a thistle.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03I just caught it out of the corner of my eye and...
0:21:03 > 0:21:05- Is it silver?- I wanted to be sure.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08More to the point, is it an amethyst?
0:21:08 > 0:21:10- Yeah.- Yeah.- Hard to tell, actually.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12It's a bit of a gamble because...
0:21:12 > 0:21:15- Yeah.- There are lots of collectors of this sort of thing.
0:21:15 > 0:21:20It is priced at £20, but I can reduce it for half price.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22That's awfully kind of you, madam.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26What do you think? Do you like it? Do you not like it?
0:21:26 > 0:21:28It's unusual, because it's a kilt pin...
0:21:28 > 0:21:34- Yeah.- ..I think. For £10, and we've not got all that long left, really.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- You can have a wander.- Have we got time to have a wander?
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- We've got five minutes.- Right, I say wander and then come back.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42- OK.- Have a quick wander, then.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Thank you. We may be back.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46That's right, Helen. Just five minutes left.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50Right, teams, a final push for that final purchase.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54You see, that's a bit of an Art Nouveau pewter box.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- Do you like that?- Yeah. - Actually I do like Art Nouveau.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59It says 50 on it.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02G407. Three minutes.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Sorry, sir, I'm not pushing you. Three minutes.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06That means you, too, Reds.
0:22:06 > 0:22:07Three minutes!
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Anything in here that you'd recommend?
0:22:10 > 0:22:12If not, we'll go back for the kilt pin.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- I think that's all right for a tenner.- Yeah.- I really do.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17- OK.- We'll go back.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20It's useful, it's simple.
0:22:20 > 0:22:21Good call, JP.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Back you go, Team. Two minutes.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27So, are you going for that box, Blues?
0:22:27 > 0:22:30We paid 50 for it, so I can't really let it go for any less.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32£40 and we'll take it.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34- Erm...- Go on.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35Please! Go on. Right, OK?
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- 40 quid.- Perfect. Thank you.- Cheers.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40And the deal is sealed.
0:22:40 > 0:22:41Number three in the bag for you, Blues,
0:22:41 > 0:22:43and the Reds aren't far behind.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46- We'd like to buy it. - Yeah, you said £10?
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Yes, I'll do it half price.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50- Right.- That's lovely. - BOTH: We'll take it.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54Phew-ee! Right, teams, time's up.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Goodness me! I think I'll have to sit down.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59How the heck did we do that?
0:22:59 > 0:23:01That was close.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03That was so stressful.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05We got off to such a good start.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07- Brilliant start.- I can't believe it.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Let's find out what the Red team has bought.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15First up in their silver-themed shop was a little vase.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17They paid £15.
0:23:17 > 0:23:23Next purchase was a hip flask, which set them back £170.
0:23:23 > 0:23:28And finally, the silver-plated kilt pin cost them £10.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31We kind of, like, went round the outside of the fair first,
0:23:31 > 0:23:34didn't see anything at all that we liked.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- For 40 minutes.- 40 minutes! - 40 minutes.- Yeah, for 40 minutes.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Yeah, but then, you see,
0:23:40 > 0:23:42we got into our stride when we went on the inside, you see.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44- Yeah.- And we were absolutely fine.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47It was more like a panic buy, the first one, to be fair.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49- Well, yeah...- So, if I said to you, Anne,
0:23:49 > 0:23:51what's your favourite item you bought today?
0:23:51 > 0:23:55I think it would have to be the second item, the silver hip flask.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- Why?- I really like that one.- Why? - It's such a decorative piece.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00I think it just really stands out and I like it.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04- Do you agree?- I think that one's... That's the best one we bought.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06- Yeah.- And, to be perfectly honest with you,
0:24:06 > 0:24:08I think it's going to make the biggest profit as well.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10- Really?- Yeah. Hopefully.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- Do you agree, Anne, with that? - Yeah. Yeah.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17- Tell me, what did you spend in total?- 195.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20So it means you've got, from me, Anne, £105 left over.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22- I do indeed.- Very good.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24£105. JP, it's coming your way.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Now, tell me, shot in the dark.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Surely not more silver?
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Well, I wouldn't want to reveal it but...
0:24:31 > 0:24:33- (Definitely not.)- Definitely not.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Well done, JP. Now get out of here.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37See you later. And while JP's away,
0:24:37 > 0:24:40let's find out what the Blue team bought.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Their first item was a Chinese screen.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44They paid £130.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48Next up was a pair of pearl drop earrings.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Price paid - £25.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54Finally, it was the little pewter glove box that took their fancy.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56It cost them £40.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Now, tell me, it sounds like you had a game of two halves.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00It began very well.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02You took a two-goal lead
0:25:02 > 0:25:05and that third almost killer-instinct goal
0:25:05 > 0:25:07came in the last minute, Mike. Is that right?
0:25:07 > 0:25:10It did, yeah. It was almost extra time, I think.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12What's your favourite lot, Jenny?
0:25:12 > 0:25:14I think my favourite is definitely the earrings that we bought.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- They were beautiful. - Are they full of glamour?
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Well, I think there are very timeless.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21- Yes.- I'd happily wear them,
0:25:21 > 0:25:23I think someone of an older generation would happily wear them,
0:25:23 > 0:25:27- so I think they are a good buy. - Mike, will they make the most money?
0:25:27 > 0:25:30I think they probably will do,
0:25:30 > 0:25:34although my favourite was the Chinese screen.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36- Yeah.- Really?- Our first buy.
0:25:36 > 0:25:41- I really love that.- So, you spent a grand £195.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44It means you've got, from me, Jenny, hopefully in your pocket, £105.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46£105.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Thank you very much. Here is £105.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51What's the plan now?
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Well, je ne regrette rien,
0:25:53 > 0:25:56and I'm going to find something that you've been looking for.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00- I promise you.- Interesting. - We'll say au revoir, Caroline,
0:26:00 > 0:26:02and off to Whitchurch for the auction we go.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08I've popped along to Trevanion & Dean's saleroom
0:26:08 > 0:26:12and I've been joined by auctioneer Christina Trevanion.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16We start with the shiniest side and the Red team.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20First object we'll look at is this fairly decorative...
0:26:20 > 0:26:22It's got a certain aesthetic appeal.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24It's this white metal vase.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26It's a very sweet little thing.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Very, very sweet little posy vase.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32I think it might be silver-plated but it's a sweet thing.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34It's a decorative little thing.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36- That lovely lily on the front. - Has it any age to it?
0:26:36 > 0:26:39I don't think it's got massive amounts of age
0:26:39 > 0:26:43- but we've put £10 to £20 on it. - £15.- Amazing.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45£15 paid. That's a good start.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Staying with silver, we almost go from English and a bit spurious
0:26:48 > 0:26:52to almost what is speculative of the Far East,
0:26:52 > 0:26:53and I'm delighted to see this.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57I think it's fantastic and the fact that it's a hip flask is great
0:26:57 > 0:27:00because, obviously, you do get collectors for it as well.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02You get collectors for Burmese silver and for hip flasks.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05The fact that it doesn't have an engraving in that cartouche helps,
0:27:05 > 0:27:07and the scene is really, really nice.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09You've got those wonderful water buffalo there.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12It's a very typical Burmese scene, those mountains in the background.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16What's it worth, Christine? Where could it be?
0:27:16 > 0:27:19- I've put 100 to 150 on it. - Yeah, that's OK.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22They did pay 170. They've gone about your top estimate.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Helen and Anne I think have bought well so far.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28Their third item, this nice kilt pin, with thistle.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30- Yeah.- But of course the amethyst is not.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32I think you're absolutely right.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34It's silver plate, it's got some weight to it.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37It's moulded, it's got amethyst paste.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39It's foiled-back amethyst paste.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42To get the really big money on these, it needs to be silver,
0:27:42 > 0:27:45it needs to be better moulded and it needs to have an actual gemstone,
0:27:45 > 0:27:47rather than a paste-set stone.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49We've put, as a nice little kilt pin,
0:27:49 > 0:27:51nice example of its type, £5 to £10.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53- They paid £10.- Perfect.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55They can't go wrong. They've done really well!
0:27:55 > 0:27:58If it doesn't make £10, I'll be very, very surprised.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02OK. So, to me, it is almost a done deal.
0:28:02 > 0:28:09But cometh the hour, we call on JP to show us what is his bonus buy.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14You left this man over here £105.
0:28:14 > 0:28:15JP, it's over to you.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20- Oh.- OK, OK. - Oh, OK.- I'll give you one.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24They're not quite a pair, but it's two mid-18th-century ale glasses,
0:28:24 > 0:28:28and you've got this wonderful folded foot, which certainly,
0:28:28 > 0:28:32style-wise, anyhow, puts you to the early 18th century.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35You've got hops engraved on the bowls.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38- I really like the engraving on these..- Yeah, I do. How much did you spend on it?
0:28:38 > 0:28:42- They cost me all of the £105. - Really?- They did, yes.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45Big question. How much do you reckon they'll fetch at auction?
0:28:45 > 0:28:48I like to think they're worth £60 to £80 each,
0:28:48 > 0:28:49but that might be ambitious.
0:28:49 > 0:28:54- Yeah.- Of course, we need to find out what the auctioneer thinks, feels,
0:28:54 > 0:28:56about the ching-ching of JP's glasses.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01- What do you think of them? - I like them.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03I think it's great. You've got this lovely folded foot here
0:29:03 > 0:29:05and the pontil mark.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07- Nice decoration. I don't think they're a pair.- No.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09They are ever so slightly different, aren't they?
0:29:09 > 0:29:13- I think the value is in their age. - Yeah, exactly.- How old, Christina?
0:29:13 > 0:29:16I'm worried that JP might have bought them as 18th century.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18I don't think they are 18th century.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21I think they're nudging more into the 19th century.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24- Will they go ching-ching? Have they got a good ring?- Oh, let's see.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26- GLASSES TINKLE Cheers.- Oh, they have, haven't they?
0:29:26 > 0:29:29- What are they worth? - We've put £20 to £30 on them
0:29:29 > 0:29:32- as a bit of a come-and-get-me estimate.- How much?- Yeah, 20 to 30.
0:29:32 > 0:29:33- Look at me. How much?!- 20 to 30.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36Goodness me. JP spent £105.
0:29:36 > 0:29:41- Wow.- Anyway, leaving the Reds well behind now, let's go to the Blues.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44- Yeah.- And I was delighted to see Caroline Hawley,
0:29:44 > 0:29:46with Mike and Jenny,
0:29:46 > 0:29:49very much pick up first and foremost
0:29:49 > 0:29:54that huge Chinese mother-of-pearl inlaid two-fold screen.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56Do you like it?
0:29:56 > 0:29:59I'd like it even more if it wasn't damaged, to be perfectly honest.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02The key to these is that they have to be in perfect condition.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05And this one, unfortunately, does have a crack in it, sadly,
0:30:05 > 0:30:07where it's been leant against something,
0:30:07 > 0:30:09or something has fallen into it.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12It's just a shame that it has got that damage to it.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14- What's it worth? - We've put £40 to £60 on it.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16Yeah. They paid £130 for it.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19- Oh, wow.- So it means you need to double up, add a tenner
0:30:19 > 0:30:21to just about break even.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23And they've got to start with that,
0:30:23 > 0:30:26so I fear that it might be an uphill task
0:30:26 > 0:30:30when we arrive at what I know is your passion, Christina.
0:30:30 > 0:30:31You love your jewellery.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34- I do.- And it was certainly Jenny who thought,
0:30:34 > 0:30:39"This pair of earrings, they are classic and timeless."
0:30:39 > 0:30:41- Would you agree?- They certainly are,
0:30:41 > 0:30:43and I just love this little chain-link here.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46These pacings, they are not diamonds, they are paste,
0:30:46 > 0:30:48although they do look incredibly effective.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51I think if you haven't got the £500 to £700 budget
0:30:51 > 0:30:54that would dictate to buy the real version of these,
0:30:54 > 0:30:57these are an incredibly good imitation
0:30:57 > 0:30:59of pearls and diamond drop earrings
0:30:59 > 0:31:02that you'd expect to see in about 1900, 1910.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04I've put £20 to £30 on them.
0:31:04 > 0:31:10That's OK. They paid £25, so we are down the middle like a slice.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Anyway, this box.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14Caroline's choice. What do you think of it?
0:31:14 > 0:31:17I think it's lovely. Pewter, Art Nouveau,
0:31:17 > 0:31:19Arts and Crafts little glove box here.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21Great that it's got its fitted interior
0:31:21 > 0:31:24and obviously it's got some age to it, which is great.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27I don't think we can go far wrong at £20 to £30.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30- They paid £40. - Oh, OK.- In a retail market,
0:31:30 > 0:31:33it means we've got to double up your bottom wholesale estimate.
0:31:33 > 0:31:37- It might just get that, it might. - And we need to climb...- Yeah.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40..climb so much that this bonus buy of Caroline's
0:31:40 > 0:31:43could be, oh, so important.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Caroline, we can't wait for the reveal.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50Oh, very nice.
0:31:50 > 0:31:51That's nice.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53- Like it.- Really lovely.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57- Like it.- Now, it's cut glass, silver.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00It's marked here as sterling silver.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02Beautiful guilloche enamel, absolutely gorgeous.
0:32:02 > 0:32:06I think probably 1920s, maybe '30s.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09- How much did you pay for it, Caroline?- £25 only.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12- Oh, wow.- That's a real bargain.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14And I think there's going to be a great profit in that.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16Yeah! What do you think it could make?
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Well, I think it could double its money. I think...£50.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Yeah? I think it's fantastic.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24- It is, it's lovely. - You've done a really good job.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27But it all hinges on what the auctioneer thinks
0:32:27 > 0:32:30about Caroline's very fine scent bottle.
0:32:32 > 0:32:33I absolutely adore this.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35I think it's beautiful, I really do.
0:32:35 > 0:32:39So often you see guilloche enamel that's in a quite garish colour.
0:32:39 > 0:32:43This beautiful lavender here is just stunning.
0:32:43 > 0:32:47Star-cut base - tick. Beautiful decoration - tick. Enamel - tick.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49It's got everything you want.
0:32:49 > 0:32:50My estimate is £20 to £30.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53If two people love it, Charlie, it could make millions.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56There might be a sweet scent after all.
0:32:56 > 0:32:57Anyway, it cost £25.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00- Oh, good woman.- Tell me, are you taking the auction?
0:33:00 > 0:33:02- I am, yes.- What will be your style today?
0:33:02 > 0:33:05My style? Well, I think I might give it a bit of the Hanson.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07I might wave my arms around a bit.
0:33:07 > 0:33:08Thank you very much. It might work.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13Right, then, Christina, the saleroom is set,
0:33:13 > 0:33:16so time to get this auction underway.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18Ladies, this is it.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20Tell me how you're feeling.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22Nervous, but really excited.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25- Good.- Nervous but, again, excited.
0:33:25 > 0:33:26Never been to an auction before.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29How does it compare to jumping out of a plane?
0:33:29 > 0:33:31About the same, I would think.
0:33:31 > 0:33:36OK, and your first lot, that lovely white-metal vase, is coming up now.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38Good luck.
0:33:38 > 0:33:39£10 only.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42Bid me £10 for the little white-metal vase at £10.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Where's 10? 5 for it, then?
0:33:44 > 0:33:46£5 for a nice little white-metal vase.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48Bid me £5.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50A little posy vase. Bid me 5.
0:33:50 > 0:33:51At £5.
0:33:51 > 0:33:52Surely at £5 somewhere?
0:33:52 > 0:33:55It's so pretty. No-one puts their hands up.
0:33:55 > 0:33:56£5?
0:33:56 > 0:33:58Surely at £5 somewhere?
0:33:58 > 0:34:00- £5.- Nobody wants it.
0:34:00 > 0:34:01- We've got £5!- Yes!
0:34:01 > 0:34:03At the very back, I have 5.
0:34:03 > 0:34:08Looking for 8. At £5 then, if we're all done at £5...
0:34:08 > 0:34:09- We've got a tenner. - Not a great start.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12But the journey is alive, so hold tight. We are down a tenner.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15Next item, this interesting Burmese hipflask.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18This, I predict, an interesting ride.
0:34:18 > 0:34:19- Yeah.- You watch.
0:34:19 > 0:34:24And I have interest here with me at 100, 120,
0:34:24 > 0:34:26130 with me, on commission.
0:34:26 > 0:34:27Keep going.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29At £130. With me on commission at 130.
0:34:29 > 0:34:30Looking for 140 now.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32It's at £130,
0:34:32 > 0:34:33with my commission bidder at 130.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36Where's 140? 140, 150.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38160? 160.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40Clears my book at 160.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43- One more.- Looking for 170 now.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46At £160, if we're all done,
0:34:46 > 0:34:50it's against you all, with the lady at £160.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52Oh, no!
0:34:52 > 0:34:54What a wonderful gamble.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57OK, you're down £20. Fear not.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59Lot 98 now is the sweet
0:34:59 > 0:35:02little silver-plated Scottish kilt pin with thistle detail,
0:35:02 > 0:35:05inset with an amethyst paste. Lot 98, there it is.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08Gosh, I've got interest here with me at £15.
0:35:08 > 0:35:09On commission with me at 15.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12Looking for 20 now. I'll take 18 if it helps.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15I've got £15. If we're all done, it's against you all.
0:35:15 > 0:35:1618 with you, madam.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18At £18. 20 with me.
0:35:18 > 0:35:19Will you go 22?
0:35:19 > 0:35:22At £20, still with my commission bidder at £20.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24If we're all done, then, at £20...
0:35:24 > 0:35:27- Yes, finally a profit! - JP's doubled up.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Bit of a Highland dance, JP?
0:35:29 > 0:35:32- Oh, yes.- A bit of Scottish...
0:35:32 > 0:35:34He's in the money. OK, you were minus 20.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36That's plus 10.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38It means you are now minus £10,
0:35:38 > 0:35:41which is not bad. It has been a rollercoaster.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44It's now whether you want to stay and that rollercoaster
0:35:44 > 0:35:47and take on JP's pair of ale glasses.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49I know we're only a tenner down
0:35:49 > 0:35:53and it's better than what we thought we were going to be, but...
0:35:53 > 0:35:55- Shall we go for it?- Shall we?- Yeah. - Going?
0:35:55 > 0:35:57- Yeah, going.- Going, going...
0:35:57 > 0:35:58- Say "gone".- Gone.- Sold!
0:35:58 > 0:36:00Hold tight. It could be bumpy.
0:36:00 > 0:36:05Lot 103 and I have interest here at £25, £35.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07Now we're going. Come on.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09At £35 here with me.
0:36:09 > 0:36:1140, 5, 50.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15I'm out. At £50, seated with you, sir, at £50.
0:36:15 > 0:36:16Looking for 5 now.
0:36:16 > 0:36:20At £50, I have seated with you, sir, at £50.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23If we're all done... 55, 60.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25At £60. Are you sure?
0:36:25 > 0:36:28- Go on, one more.- One more.- One more.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31At 60. 65, 70...
0:36:31 > 0:36:33Go on. You're out?
0:36:33 > 0:36:35At £70, 75?
0:36:35 > 0:36:37- Yes, go on.- At £70.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40All done, then, at £70, seated with the gentleman at 70.
0:36:40 > 0:36:44Looking for 5. If you're all out, it's at £70.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46It trebled the auctioneer's estimate.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49That says something on how good they were.
0:36:49 > 0:36:54They still lost £35, which means, overall, you are £45 down.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56- It's not too bad. - Well, it's not too bad.
0:36:56 > 0:37:00As you know, Anne and Helen, in this funny old game, JP,
0:37:00 > 0:37:04we've been there before, and £45 can definitely, maybe, be...
0:37:04 > 0:37:06- Maybe.- A winning score.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08..a winning score. So mum's the word.

0:40:47 > 0:40:50Fair warning now. At £40...
0:40:50 > 0:40:52Guys, I commend you.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54It still gave you a £15 profit.
0:40:54 > 0:40:58It means you reduced your deficit by half.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02- Good.- Well done. So you are minus £15.
0:41:02 > 0:41:06That is no mean sum, in the world, in the game that is Bargain Hunt.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09True Blues, I kid you not, that really, honestly,
0:41:09 > 0:41:11could be a winning score.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13- Fingers crossed.- Well done. Mum's the word.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Today, sadly,
0:41:20 > 0:41:23on Bargain Hunt you've all made losses. OK?
0:41:23 > 0:41:28As you know, our team who are going away as the runners-up
0:41:28 > 0:41:30or, as I call you, the under-bidders,
0:41:30 > 0:41:32you were so nearly in charge,
0:41:32 > 0:41:35it is, sadly, Helen and Anne.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37I'm sorry, guys.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40- How do you feel?- Gutted. - Yeah.- Oh, don't say that.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43Don't say that. It's a funny old game, isn't it?
0:41:43 > 0:41:46You very much decided not to ring-fence
0:41:46 > 0:41:50at what could have been a winning score, and you went with the JP.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53Well, I really thought they may have moved a bit.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55They did move, they made £70,
0:41:55 > 0:41:59but, of course, they lost you 35, which left you with minus £45.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01- Oh, well.- Oh, dear.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04But you've been great fun. But on my left are the true Blues.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06- Well done, team.- Hooray!
0:42:06 > 0:42:09You have done it today and you have done it in style
0:42:09 > 0:42:12because, actually, it began quite badly,
0:42:12 > 0:42:16with your £35 loss on that delightful twofold screen.
0:42:16 > 0:42:21It then moved to what we loved in the romance and classic manner
0:42:21 > 0:42:23of those earrings, plus 10.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26And then of course you had that small loss on the glove box,
0:42:26 > 0:42:31but it didn't really matter because you did go with that atomiser,
0:42:31 > 0:42:34which really flew, made £15,
0:42:34 > 0:42:38and it left you with only a minus £15 loss.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40OK, have you enjoyed yourselves today, guys?
0:42:40 > 0:42:43- ALL:- Yes.- Yeah, it's been a great memory
0:42:43 > 0:42:45and you have not hopefully lived with a regret.
