0:00:02 > 0:00:05Today, we're in London's Notting Hill
0:00:05 > 0:00:08at the antiques market, which has a carnival atmosphere.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13# Well, ladies and gents Please listen to me
0:00:13 > 0:00:15# This is Bargain Hunt on the BBC
0:00:15 > 0:00:18# Red versus Blues Charlie Ross presenting
0:00:18 > 0:00:20# Join us as we go Bargain Hunting. #
0:00:20 > 0:00:22APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:26Well, you heard the man, let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:00:50 > 0:00:54The Portobello Road street market began to include antiques
0:00:54 > 0:00:58back in the '50s, just a few years before the carnival took off.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Nowadays, they're the main attraction.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Our teams have got £300
0:01:03 > 0:01:06and just one hour in which to sniff out
0:01:06 > 0:01:09some interesting and affordable items.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Let's have a butcher's hook at how they get on.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16We'll find out what to buy...
0:01:16 > 0:01:20- No, we don't want ladles. Nobody has soup anymore.- I want a ladle.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24- ..where to go...- Going that way? - Yeah, just one more...
0:01:24 > 0:01:25But you have only eight minutes.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29You can boil three eggs in eight minutes. Come on, let's go.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33..and, most importantly, who's about to make profits.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- Oh!- That's a bit more like it.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- Hooray!- Happy days.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44But before all that, let's meet the teams.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46For our Red team today, we have a married couple,
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Una and William, and for our Blue team,
0:01:49 > 0:01:53we have Ronald and Claudia who are nearly married, as I understand it.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55- Hello, everyone. ALL:- Hello.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57- Good to see you. Looking forward to it?- Yes.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Una, are you REALLY looking forward to it?
0:02:00 > 0:02:01Really looking forward to it.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- You look an enthusiastic sort to me. - Yeah, ready to go.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- You met a long time ago, didn't you? - Yes, over 25 years ago.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10I was an American medical student and he was a banker in London
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- and we dated transatlantically. - Romance!
0:02:13 > 0:02:16This was before the internet, before mobile phones.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19It was so ancient, so we had to write letters and pick up the phone.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21- Airmail?!- Yes.- I remember airmail!
0:02:21 > 0:02:24How long did it take the letters to get...?
0:02:24 > 0:02:25Weeks, so I had to write every other day
0:02:25 > 0:02:28so he had something to open. A lot of writing.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Una, you WERE a doctor for some time.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Yes, I'm a retired GP and I was a GP for about 20 years.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37But with a string of qualifications.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Yes, I have a BA, MD,
0:02:40 > 0:02:43FRSCEd, ENT, Surgery...
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Thank you, thank you! I'm sure you've got many more.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49William, what's it like being married to this dynamo?
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- It's hard work! - I bet it's hard work!
0:02:52 > 0:02:54LAUGHTER
0:02:54 > 0:02:57I bet it is. But you and I share something, don't we? Cricket.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01Cricket, yes. I like cricket. I play a bit of cricket, I watch cricket.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- Do you?- Yes.- Wonderful. Do you still play?- Just about.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06- I can just about get on the pitch. - Where do you play?
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- Mostly in Ireland.- Do you?- Yes. - A bit damp, isn't it?
0:03:09 > 0:03:12It can be a bit damp but rain doesn't really stop play now
0:03:12 > 0:03:14and, otherwise, you never would play.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16THEY LAUGH
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- You also have a passion for antiques, don't you?- Yes, we do.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23- Who will be doing the negotiating? - I think that's my job.- Oh, is it?
0:03:23 > 0:03:26I think I might be doing some negotiating.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29It's going to be great fun having you on the programme.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32And for our Blue team, we've got the wonderful Ronald and Claudia.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36- Hello.- Hello.- Going to enjoy it? - Yes.- I'm sure you are.
0:03:36 > 0:03:41- Ronald, how did you two meet?- We met in Romania about eight years ago.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- Yeah.- I was working out in the clothing trade.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46- I was a production manager. - Rag trade!- Yeah.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50- Claudia was working there and the eyes met and...- And that was it?
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- And that was it. - Romance in Romania.- Absolutely.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55I plucked the courage up to go and speak to her
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- cos I was a bit of a shy lad at the time.- It took him six hours.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Took me six hours, wasn't long, and the rest is history.
0:04:00 > 0:04:05- And you're engaged?- We are, for the last seven years. It's coming close.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- I'm planning.- Planning. - I'm a long planner.- He is planning.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12- Have you got a date yet?- Not yet, but it could be happening very soon.
0:04:12 > 0:04:13- You're also a cricket fan?- Big fan.
0:04:13 > 0:04:18Played as a youngster,, reasonable level, sort of village green level.
0:04:18 > 0:04:23- Claudia, you like the cricket too? - Yes.- Loves it.- I love it now.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- Claudia, you're also very artistic, aren't you?- Yes, I am.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29I've been very, very lucky to graduate
0:04:29 > 0:04:33the university of puppetry and marionettes from Romania.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- Do you make them? - Yes, we did actually made them.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- How wonderful.- Yes, we did made the puppets and marionettes
0:04:39 > 0:04:41and also handle it as well.
0:04:41 > 0:04:47And also I did different sketches and all these abstract works
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- and things like that.- Abstract?
0:04:49 > 0:04:51They all look more like Michael Jackson, so Ron says.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54That's abstract, all right! So, what are you going to buy?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- Anything that's good value. - Anything in good condition.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Good value, good condition - where have I heard THAT before?
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- Well, good luck. I'm going to give you some money.- Thank you.- £300.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- Thank you.- Enjoy it.- Thank you. - There we are, Una.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Spend it well, have a great time. Off you go.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14I wonder if they'll be buying old bats and balls. Probably!
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Time to meet our experts.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26Serving the Reds today will be ace adviser Thomas Plant,
0:05:26 > 0:05:31while snapping up bargains with the Blues is hotshot Natasha Raskin.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35So, William, Una, we've got £300. What are we going to spend it on?
0:05:35 > 0:05:38- I think we should try and look at some silver.- Yeah.
0:05:38 > 0:05:39If we can get it at a good price.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43I'm looking for a bit of jewellery, maybe, silver.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Something fashionable and get it at a really good price
0:05:45 > 0:05:47and make a big profit.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50- I like boxes.- Boxes. - I'm a bit of a box man, yeah.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- Let's go see if we can find one. - Yeah.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Right, teams, your 60 minutes starts now.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57BELL RINGS
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- Are we ready to do it? - Absolutely!- Let's go!- Go!
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Time's ticking and we've got to find some bargains.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Thomas will find the store and I'll find the item.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07- Is that's what's going to work? - I think so.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10This is closer to Thomas's stomping ground than it is mine,
0:06:10 > 0:06:12so I'm a bit of a fish out of water.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Well, I'm a Londoner, so I might be able to help just a little.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16- I'm going to rely on your patter. - Thanks very much.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20So, who's going to spot something first?
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Thomas, is that a real Rolex?
0:06:23 > 0:06:27- It will be a real Rolex, yes, it will be.- But it won't be £200.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- We only have £300. - UNA LAUGHS
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Such an expensive eye. I always go for the quality stuff.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36It will definitely be a real Rolex.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40Full marks for quality, but it's bargains we're after!
0:06:40 > 0:06:42The Blues seem to have a very different approach.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- Anything immediately catching your eye?- I've seen a cat.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49- You've seen a cat? Where?- The little one there.- The little one.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- The wee brass one. Let's have a look at him.- Ah.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- First of all, are you a cat lover? - I love cats!
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- You said that with such intensity. - I do, I do.- Mad on cats.
0:06:58 > 0:07:03- Do you have any cats?- No, not in London.- We've got a budgie.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- It just doesn't go with a budgie. - I forgot about him. Oh, my goodness.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10OK, so why do you love this wee brass cat?
0:07:10 > 0:07:14- He's not particularly exciting, is he?- No, I don't know what it's for.
0:07:14 > 0:07:19- It has this thing at the back.- So he does. OK, so, what IS that for?
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- I'm not entirely sure. - How much is this, please?
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- VENDOR:- It is not expensive. It is £15.
0:07:25 > 0:07:30- £15 for the cat. - I mean, as much as that?- Cheeky!
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- For this little fellow? - What are you expecting?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38The cat goes back. You can do better, Blues.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41The Reds haven't moved, still rummaging at their stall.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45- Wow, that's really pretty too. - Yeah, the lenses?
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- Yeah, the lenses.- They're called lorgnettes.- Lorgnettes.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52They're sort of reading glasses but they would be sprung-hinged,
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- so they'd be glasses, like you're wearing...- Can you open it up?
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- Can we have a look? - Yes, come on, get stuck in!
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- What you do, you take them out. - Yeah.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04You've got the lenses here, so you could even use them
0:08:04 > 0:08:08- as a magnifying glass but press that, bam-bam.- Oh, wow.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12- You know.- Like reading glasses? - They're reading glasses but...
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- You can actually put it on a chain. - And pretend to be a lady.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19- You ARE a lady.- You ARE a lady, but like a dowagess.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23- And what's the metal? - You can be Maggie Smith.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26A gilt metal, so it's gold-plated.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29It's really pretty and something I can see in a period drama
0:08:29 > 0:08:31and I know people would buy it, they'd love it.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35But I tell you what you have to do, with the period drama,
0:08:35 > 0:08:37is they've got to be the right date.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Sometimes, some of these period dramas,
0:08:39 > 0:08:41they put the wrong glasses on people, don't they?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43I wonder which ones he means.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Somebody will like these.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Yes, but it's still practical as well.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49- How much is this?- 45.- 45.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53- And your very best? - I'll do them for 35.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57- £35. It's not bad, £35.- Yeah.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- Are you going to do a little chunk, are you?- Could you do them for 30?
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Oh, dear, the way you're looking at me, I've got to.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08- Oh, Una's charmed him. - £30.- Well done.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13- Five minutes into shopping, first item done.- There you go.- Cool.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- OK, let's go onto the next one then. - Ready.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Busy, busy, busy, the Reds are off to a flier.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23Meanwhile, the Blues have gone from cats to pigs.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24I was looking at them pigs.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27What material do you think they are, Natasha?
0:09:27 > 0:09:28We'd have to handle them
0:09:28 > 0:09:31because they could be patinated plaster, they could be anything.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- Let's have a look.- How heavy are they?- VENDOR:- They're very heavy.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38- Very heavy?- Are they lead?- I thought they were made of cast iron.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41- Right.- I don't think they're lead. - He's a jolly old fellow.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43He's cuddling a rabbit, if you look close enough.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Is that not a four-leaf clover?
0:09:45 > 0:09:49- So you think they've got an Irish influence?- I don't know.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52What we need to talk about is their virtue. They're probably Victorian.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Victorian, the era of huge mass production.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58They're almost identical. In fact, they ARE identical,
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- so they come from a mould. Are they a precious metal? No.- No.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05Are they elaborately coloured and bright and catching of the eye? No.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09- But are they quite quirky and fun? Yes.- Yes.- Are they expensive?
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- Shall we find out how much they are? - That would be nice.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16- I had in mind £30.- 30? - Yes.- I'm not sure.- OK.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Shall we chance putting them down for now?
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Maybe if they're here when we come back...
0:10:20 > 0:10:24He's a very nice gentleman and I'm sure we can renegotiate on that 30.
0:10:24 > 0:10:29Pigs on hold. I think they might be planning a menagerie.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Now for their fast-starting rivals.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Any chance of William getting a look-in?
0:10:33 > 0:10:37- Just outside.- Have a quick look. - Yeah, let's have a look.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Go on, have a hold.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- That's quite nice.- VENDOR:- Nice feet, double-scroll handles...
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- I would buy this myself.- I like the fact you'd buy it yourself.
0:10:45 > 0:10:51The date for that is 1931, so we're looking at George V.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Gadrooned rim.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- This is heavy.- Has it got a good gauge?- Got a good weight on it.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01- I like that.- And it's been retailed through Harrods.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02I think that makes it rather vulgar.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05There's no pleasing some folk, is there?
0:11:05 > 0:11:09Right, OK. If you like it, that's a good sign.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- OK.- What's the best on that? - 98 - that's a bit...
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Well, it's the weight, you see.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- Yeah.- It smashes out for, like, £80. Break it.
0:11:18 > 0:11:23- What will you do it for?- 85? - UNA:- No, 70.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- VENDOR:- Your silver value is worth 80.
0:11:26 > 0:11:31- I'd do that for 85.- £80. May I say £80?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33May I whisper £80?
0:11:33 > 0:11:38- Yeah, go on then.- £80.- Yeah.- Shall we buy this?- Definitely.- Done deal.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Thank you very much.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42- UNA:- Thank you very much, sir. - £80, done.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Another in the bag. They don't dilly-dally.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- Let's go.- That's great. - Thank you, bye-bye.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54Claudia and Ron, meanwhile, seem determined to keep it real.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57How does that appeal to you? What do you think of that?
0:11:57 > 0:11:59A nice pedestal base there,
0:11:59 > 0:12:03it's got a lovely sort of... almost trumpet-shape,
0:12:03 > 0:12:06it's nice and hand-blown - look at those bubbles.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08How old do you think it is?
0:12:08 > 0:12:11I think it's probably 1950s or '60s, something like that.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14I think it's got that kind of design era feel to it.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- Is this a natural marking, Natasha? - Which markings? Yes.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20This marking - is this a natural fleck?
0:12:20 > 0:12:24The bubbles are as a result of sort of twisting the glass,
0:12:24 > 0:12:27whilst it's being hand-blown, to create these flecks of bubbles.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31- What do you think, Clau? - I think it's different.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33I'm not sure about the colour but...
0:12:33 > 0:12:37What would you expect to get in auction for this type of item?
0:12:37 > 0:12:39- Not a lot of money. £10, £12, something like that.- OK.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- But if he's packing up... - Shall we have a go?
0:12:42 > 0:12:45I think we should because I bought a bunch of flowers the other day
0:12:45 > 0:12:48and could I find a vase to fit? And THAT would have been perfect.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51You could get a few bunches in there.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Clau, would you like to speak to the gentleman?
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Bear in mind he's packing up, so give him a last-minute deal.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59- OK.- VENDOR:- A fiver.- Oh!- What?!
0:12:59 > 0:13:01- RONALD:- What do you think? - What do you think?
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- Can I be cheeky and offer you £4? - VENDOR:- If you like.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10- RONALD:- That's very nice. What do you reckon?- Let's go for it.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- Yeah, let's go for it. We're happy with that.- Thank you, sir.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15- The deal is done.- Thank you.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19Crumbs! They'll have three for less than a tenner at this rate!
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Half an hour's gone, believe it or not, so we need two items.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25We've got one in the bag but we need two more in half an hour.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- Do you think we can do it? - Do you think we should rush?- Yeah.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- I think so, let's go. - Shall I run? Shall I run?
0:13:33 > 0:13:35The Reds are already two-thirds there.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38What does their expert make of them?
0:13:38 > 0:13:42Una and William, they don't dither, they make decisions.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45No, we don't want ladles. Nobody has soup anymore.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48I think it's because they're both professional business people.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52- They're successful, they're clever, they know when it's a good deal.- No!
0:13:52 > 0:13:56I love those lorgnettes. Una spotted them. She likes the style.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58And then William looked at that sauce boat
0:13:58 > 0:14:00and said, "I like that. I'd buy that."
0:14:00 > 0:14:03And, actually, looking at it, I would as well.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05I think he's got a bit of style, that man.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08I've sent them on ahead to look at another stall.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10I wonder what Una and William will have spotted then.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13I'll find out.
0:14:13 > 0:14:14He sounds chipper!
0:14:14 > 0:14:18Time to pad up and take a look at a bit of sporting history
0:14:18 > 0:14:20both our teams might like to get hold of.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31Have you got an old bat in your loft? One like this?
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Or possibly in the garage
0:14:33 > 0:14:36that was used by your father or your grandfather?
0:14:36 > 0:14:39I've got several old bats but none as exciting as this.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42OK, it doesn't look much from the front, does it?
0:14:42 > 0:14:44And it's a bit old and a bit perished
0:14:44 > 0:14:48but, if we turn it round, there's a certain magic to this bat.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50It has got signatures
0:14:50 > 0:14:54of some of the finest players that ever played the game.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57It's got the Australian and England teams
0:14:57 > 0:15:04from the 1936-'37 Ashes series that was played in Australia.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06England won the first two test matches
0:15:06 > 0:15:08and it was only a five-match series,
0:15:08 > 0:15:11so people thought, "It's all over", but it wasn't.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15We came to the third test match. Remember, England two up.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17And England were about to win the third test
0:15:17 > 0:15:20when the great Donald Bradman came to the wicket
0:15:20 > 0:15:26and in the second innings, he scored 271, and Australia won the game.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29And after that, Australia won the fourth test
0:15:29 > 0:15:31and they won the fifth test
0:15:31 > 0:15:34and that enabled them to win the whole series.
0:15:34 > 0:15:35If you're a good test batsman,
0:15:35 > 0:15:38you average probably 40 or 50 per innings.
0:15:38 > 0:15:44Donald Bradman, when he finished, averaged 99.94.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47In fact, when he walked out to bat for the last time,
0:15:47 > 0:15:52had he scored 4, he would have averaged 100, but he was out for 0.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54But we've got his signature here.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57That, in itself, is worth £100 or £200.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59What else makes this bat exciting?
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Well, of course, it's signed by the England side as well.
0:16:02 > 0:16:08England had the great Wally Hammond playing for them.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10It's got Wally Hammond's signature.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14But if you come up to the top of the bat, there are some initials here.
0:16:15 > 0:16:20WRH. Could this have been Wally Hammond's bat?
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Well, it might have been.
0:16:22 > 0:16:27But, leaving that aside, the bat's still worth £500, £600.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31It cost me £200. I bought it at auction.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32Somebody else had spotted it
0:16:32 > 0:16:35because I really had hoped to buy it for £20 or £30,
0:16:35 > 0:16:38but I wasn't the only one that had turned it over
0:16:38 > 0:16:40and read the signatures.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Having said that, very happy to buy it for £200
0:16:42 > 0:16:44and, in years to come,
0:16:44 > 0:16:47something like this is not going go down in value.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50I'll put it back in the loft and when I've passed on,
0:16:50 > 0:16:53somebody will clear out the loft - hopefully, my son -
0:16:53 > 0:16:57and he will find this old bat and he'll go along to a valuer
0:16:57 > 0:17:00and he'll say, "What's this bat worth?"
0:17:00 > 0:17:03And, who knows, it might be £2,000 or £3,000 by then.
0:17:13 > 0:17:18Now, play resumes, Reds leading 2-1, as we head into the final session.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23What about the wee dish there with the lady on top?
0:17:23 > 0:17:26It's hard to age from here. Shall we delve in a wee bit?
0:17:26 > 0:17:28- Let's have a look, yeah. - Let's have a look.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- VENDOR:- It's Capodimonte.- Yes.- Ah.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34I didn't even see there are a pair of them. How handy is that?
0:17:34 > 0:17:37- Let's have a wee look. - They're 45 each.- 45 each.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Hand-painted Capodimonte. Look at the quality.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44Hand-painted all the way around with these wee beasties and everything.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48- OK.- I thought, from a distance, these were a pair but, actually,
0:17:48 > 0:17:51when you look closely, they're almost identical.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54What do you think of the auction price
0:17:54 > 0:17:56or the auction valuation of that, Natasha?
0:17:56 > 0:18:00I think, at auction, it's going to be something like £20 to £40.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Auctioneers want things to sell.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05They don't want put off items with a value of...
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- OK, how much is this item? - They're £45 each.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12- Mmm, 45 each. May I make you an offer?- Yes, sure.
0:18:12 > 0:18:18I'd like to think that a reasonable offer would be about £28 to £32.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- What do you think?- For one?- For one.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26- CLAUDIA:- Can we get the two for 50? Would that be a possibility?
0:18:26 > 0:18:29- VENDOR:- Er, two would be 60.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33- 55 and we'll take the two. - VENDOR:- All right.- CLAUDIA:- OK?
0:18:33 > 0:18:34Thank you very much.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Good work, Ron.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40Capodimonte isn't everyone's cup of tea, but you never know.
0:18:41 > 0:18:46- Neither is THAT!- Bit of fun design made out of...- Perspex.- Perspex.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Sort of made in the 1970s.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52I have to say, Una's abandoned us.
0:18:53 > 0:18:58- She's gone.- I don't blame her! Now, the Blues take a closer look.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Is there anything here you think,
0:19:00 > 0:19:03"I could do with one of those in my wee room"?
0:19:03 > 0:19:05- Actually, no, there isn't. - It's not your cup of tea?
0:19:05 > 0:19:09- Letter openers, that sort of thing. Table top items.- Let's march on.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11- Thank you, sir.- Thank you. - Thank you very much.
0:19:11 > 0:19:17Blues on the move and Una's back on board, aiming for a cheap last buy.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21- Do you like that?- What's the metal? - Copper, wrought iron...
0:19:21 > 0:19:25- That's really nice.- On Perspex.- What price?- A bit of design. How much?
0:19:25 > 0:19:29- How much would you pay for that? This is a good game.- OK, £30.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33- Guess again.- What do you mean? - It falls within your budget.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- £20?- Mmm.- No way!- Yes. - OK, it's done, it's done.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42- Well, let's not pay £20.- Oh! - We'll ask him.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45So, it's a piece of design, it's on Perspex...
0:19:45 > 0:19:48- It's iron, it's copper, it's Perspex...- Wrought-iron copper.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52- I don't think it's...- Very 1970s, isn't it?- It's quite '70s.
0:19:52 > 0:19:58- £18 with a £2 profit.- No, we can get down better than that.- Oh.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00- VENDOR:- Yeah, I'll do it for 18. - What about 15?
0:20:00 > 0:20:02- UNA:- All right, we're still negotiating.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04- VENDOR:- I could have had 18 just now!
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- UNA:- No, it's a team...- Una, this...
0:20:07 > 0:20:10OK, let's do it again. OK, let's do it again.
0:20:10 > 0:20:16- UNA:- 15.- VENDOR:- 17.- UNA:- 16. - I can't get a word in edgeways!
0:20:16 > 0:20:18THEY LAUGH
0:20:18 > 0:20:20- We're done at 16. - No, let Thomas speak.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22The thing is, you've done the cardinal sin
0:20:22 > 0:20:24- of mentioning a figure when buying.- Oh, yeah,
0:20:24 > 0:20:27you're not supposed to mention the figure first.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- No, and that's your... - Downfall.- ..downfall on that one.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33So, I think, to be the honourable person...
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- Oh, right.- You mentioned 18. - But he was going to go at 16!
0:20:36 > 0:20:40- He went to 17!- He went to 16. - What did you go to?
0:20:40 > 0:20:42- I ended up at 16. - You ended up at 16?
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- He's offering 16! - Right, if you've offered 16...
0:20:45 > 0:20:48The honourable thing is to accept the 16.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50- VENDOR:- I'm not going any lower than that.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52£16. Done.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54That was chaos!
0:20:54 > 0:20:57But, well within the hour, they have their three items.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00- Well done, you, well done. - Thank you.- Thank you very much.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02- You've been so helpful.- Thank you.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05I don't think I've been that helpful, to be honest with you!
0:21:05 > 0:21:09- You spotted that. - I just thought a bit of style. £16.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Let's hope it's going to make a profit.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14While the Reds head for the pavilion,
0:21:14 > 0:21:16time is running out for the Blues.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20I think we should give it one more go.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23- Of going that way?- Yeah. - But we have only eight minutes.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26You can boil three eggs in eight minutes. Come on, let's go!
0:21:26 > 0:21:29We can do it, we can do it.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Might be a wee bit runny, though.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- Do you think the Blues are still out there?- I'm pretty sure they are.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40- Do you think they're one item down? - I think they're still looking.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42I think they're panicking.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45I feel rather smug, I don't know about you.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49- Definitely!- Well done.- Cheers.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Right, we're getting close to time.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54We need to really make a move, but I've seen something I like.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Thank goodness for that!
0:21:56 > 0:21:58- Where's our lady gone? - Who's your lady?
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- The one we bought the Capodimonte. - She's a bit further up.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04- Next to her, next to her. - It's almost time.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06- Perhaps Natasha needs to step in. - Go, go, go, go!
0:22:06 > 0:22:11- He's a familiar face. - I'm just so not sure.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14What about the atomiser? Do you like that? It's quite sweet.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16- How much is the atomiser, sir? - VENDOR:- That's £20.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20- It's silver, silver-topped. - I would say...
0:22:20 > 0:22:25- Have we got a deal at £15 on the atomiser?- £15 on the atomiser?
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- You look absolutely desperate. - Yes, please.- What do you reckon?
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Lovely, I think we'll go for that.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33It's sterling, it's got a nice design on it,
0:22:33 > 0:22:37- the glass is cut-glass... - Yeah, let's go for it!- Hobnail cut.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39- Can we handle that for the atomiser?- Yeah, yeah.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43- Shall we do it?- Yeah.- Shake on it and come on!- It's a deal. £15.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44Thank you ever so much.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Phew, that was close!
0:22:46 > 0:22:50Right, teams, your 60 minutes are up!
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- I wish I had more time. I want to spend more money.- Yeah.- More money?
0:22:53 > 0:22:55- Yeah.- We didn't spend a lot, did we?- No!- No!
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Let's have a look at what the Red team have bought.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02Una's costume drama lorgnettes for £30.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07William's silver sauce boat for £80.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13And Thomas's 1970s candlestick holder for £16.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- Have they been good, Thomas? - Fabulous!- Really?- Yeah, super.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Have they spent big?
0:23:20 > 0:23:23- No, but they spent three figures, which is a start.- Good!
0:23:23 > 0:23:25William, which is your favourite lot?
0:23:25 > 0:23:28I like the silver sauce boat that we bought.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31A silver sauce boat. Sounds rich to me. Una?
0:23:31 > 0:23:33- The lorgnettes.- The lorgnettes are your favourite.- Yes.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36William, what's going to make the biggest profit?
0:23:36 > 0:23:38The lorgnettes are kind of interesting,
0:23:38 > 0:23:40something someone could really get interested in.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43- There's a lot of competition for that.- Yeah.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46- On a good day, that could be the sort of wild card, I think.- Yeah.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- And you think the same, Una?- Yes, I do.- So, the lorgnettes for you.
0:23:49 > 0:23:54- And how much did you spend? - We spent £126.- £126.- £126.
0:23:54 > 0:23:59So, that's going to leave £174 for your man. Hand it over.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Thomas Plant... CHARLIE LAUGHS
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Have you got a large sack because there's a lot of money?
0:24:05 > 0:24:09- Give it here, Rosco! - Look at that lot! My word!
0:24:09 > 0:24:14So, it's a difficult one cos these guys were so canny, so cautious.
0:24:14 > 0:24:21Do I blow it all or do I reflect our shopping experience? Dunno.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Well, while Thomas goes off to reflect,
0:24:24 > 0:24:27let's have a look at what the Blue team have bought.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33Claudia's very loud trumpet vase for just £4.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38A pair of Capodimonte salts for £55.
0:24:40 > 0:24:45And Ron's last-minute atomiser for £15.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49- Ronald and Claudia, you didn't spend a lot of money, did you?- No.
0:24:49 > 0:24:54- No, I'm afraid not.- Very little. How much did you spend?- £74.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Oh, my goodness me! Natasha, why couldn't you get them spending?
0:24:57 > 0:25:01You take a Scot to London, I'm not going to spend London prices!
0:25:01 > 0:25:05- Behave, behave! - Have they bought well?- I think so.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07- Our first buy, come on! - Oh, wonderful!
0:25:07 > 0:25:13- That vase - that didn't cost much, did it?- No, £4!- £4, the vase cost.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16- £4! So, is that your favourite lot? - Yes.- And yours, Ronald?
0:25:16 > 0:25:18- I've got to agree. - I can't believe this!
0:25:18 > 0:25:20And what's going to make the biggest profit?
0:25:20 > 0:25:23- Well, the vase will make the biggest profit.- The vase!
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Did you buy anything else? You bought two other items.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27We did, but it's all about the vase.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31Claudia, fill up my hands with all that dosh. There's so much of it!
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Natasha, what are you going to do with that?
0:25:34 > 0:25:38- I'm going to look for a real bargain.- I want to see it all gone.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40- I don't want to see much change. - I'll try my best.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44While Natasha goes off to knock a large hole in that leftover lolly,
0:25:44 > 0:25:46we're off to the auction room.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52We've headed south of the capital to Selsdon.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58We've come down to the verdant pastures of Surrey,
0:25:58 > 0:26:02where the resident auctioneer is Catherine Southon.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Lovely to see you, Charlie.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07- Let's have a look at what Una and William and Thomas have bought.- Mmm.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10It's not much to look at but the quality's there, I think.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12- What do you think? - I think you're right.
0:26:12 > 0:26:17- The first thing that I look at straightaway, the lorgnettes.- Mmm.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20This lorgnette is gilt metal, it's not gold.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22- It would be lovely if it was gold. - Wouldn't it?
0:26:22 > 0:26:25What I particularly like about this one - it's 19th century,
0:26:25 > 0:26:28- but look at that handle. - It's fabulous quality, isn't it?
0:26:28 > 0:26:29It's really beautiful.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Quite often, they're just simple, nothing to them,
0:26:32 > 0:26:34but this is really beautifully decorated
0:26:34 > 0:26:38and right at the top there, you've got that lovely scroll decoration.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40What sort of value do you attach to them?
0:26:40 > 0:26:43- It's only really about £30 to £50. - That's quite all right. Paid £30.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47- Not bad.- They did well. What about the sauce boat?
0:26:47 > 0:26:50It's quite simple but what's nice about it,
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- you've got a good name on it, Charlie.- Yes.- You've got Harrods.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Harrods.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Once upon a time, that would have been a very expensive piece.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01- Imagine the sort of table that that would have been on.- Mmm.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- So, we've put £60 to £80 on that. - They're just at the top end there.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07£80 paid, so they're in with a chance, aren't they?
0:27:07 > 0:27:09A bit of a push. We might get there.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Third object. I can't make up my mind about this.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Well, I was in exactly the same boat.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17I saw it, I thought, "Do I like it or don't I like it?"
0:27:17 > 0:27:21I've decided now I DO like it. It's actually rather stylish.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- It's very stylish.- It's very simple, there's not a lot to it.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27You get the impression someone's just found some odd bits
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- and made them into that. - I like it, you're not so sure.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33I'm not convinced. What about estimate?
0:27:33 > 0:27:34We've put £40 to £60 on it.
0:27:34 > 0:27:39- Well done! £16 paid! - I think they did all right.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43If, by any chance, they don't have your enthusiasm for that item,
0:27:43 > 0:27:46they always have the bonus buy up their sleeve.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Any idea what he might have under there?
0:27:50 > 0:27:54- Looks like he's got nothing under there!- Let's have a look. Thomas?
0:27:54 > 0:27:57- So, you left me with quite a lot of money.- Yep.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59I didn't spend it all
0:27:59 > 0:28:01but I bought something rather magnificent, I think,
0:28:01 > 0:28:05which is a silver French marcasite
0:28:05 > 0:28:08brooch-cum-pendant-cum-hanging photograph frame.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12It's got marcasite stones which sort of simulate diamonds
0:28:12 > 0:28:15and that's where you put a photograph
0:28:15 > 0:28:18and you can either hang it on a wall or wear it as a brooch.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22- But how much did you pay for it? - That's a very good question.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24How much do you think I paid for it? I'll give you a clue.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28It was three figures when I saw it.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31- £20.- No! - THEY LAUGH
0:28:31 > 0:28:33- It's Bargain Hunt - bargains! - Steady.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36No, what am I going to do? £20!
0:28:36 > 0:28:42In fact, it was marked at over £120, I think, something like that.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45- I paid £90 for it.- Er, no, no.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49£90 is way too much money for that, I'm sorry.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52It's very nice but, yes, £90 is a bit rich, I think.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54I don't think anybody will buy that. Not for £90.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57Well, it seems like Una and William aren't going to be going
0:28:57 > 0:28:59with this bonus buy, but you never know.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01Let's see what Miss Southon thinks about it.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04Thomas came up with this. What do you think?
0:29:04 > 0:29:07- We've got silver and marcasite. - Yeah.
0:29:07 > 0:29:12And you've got a little ring there for a pendant and then brooch here.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15But I think, once upon a time, it was probably supposed to be
0:29:15 > 0:29:18- in like a little holder or something.- Yeah.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22- But a nice, smart little piece, nonetheless.- Value?- £50 to £70?
0:29:22 > 0:29:27- Yeah, £90 paid. Thomas knows his market there.- He does.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30So, he might be all right, although it's £90 paid.
0:29:30 > 0:29:36Now, Ron and Claudia teamed up with Natasha and here is the result.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39Right, OK. This trumpet vase.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Do you know what the good thing about it is...?
0:29:41 > 0:29:43There can't be anything good about it!
0:29:43 > 0:29:45No, I'm going to be positive,
0:29:45 > 0:29:48cos you can get an awful lot of flowers in there.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50The colour is pretty hideous, I have to say.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52I don't even think that's straight.
0:29:52 > 0:29:53Have you stretched to an estimate there?
0:29:53 > 0:29:58I have, but I think I've been quite kind. £30 to £50.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01- I think you've been bonkers!- Yes, I think I have been very kind on that.
0:30:01 > 0:30:05- Having said that, Natasha's quite cunning.- Why?- What did they pay?
0:30:05 > 0:30:08- I don't know, what DID they pay? - £4!- How can you pay £4?
0:30:08 > 0:30:11- And with you on the rostrum, frankly...- They WILL make a profit.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13Let's move swiftly on from that vase
0:30:13 > 0:30:15because it doesn't really require any more description.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18What do you think of Capodimonte?
0:30:18 > 0:30:22Capodimonte from Naples, 18th century. It was...
0:30:22 > 0:30:24No, but they are NOT 18th century.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27No, but it was made to emulate Meissen.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29- Sadly, these are not 18th century. - No.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32I'm going to stick my neck out and say £40 to £60.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35- Paid £55, so they're within your estimate.- Yeah, we're there.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38- Someone will like them. - Now, what about the atomiser?
0:30:38 > 0:30:41- I mean, it's a fairly standard thing, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43- It's sterling silver.- Yes.
0:30:43 > 0:30:48- What nice is there's no real chips or damage to the outside.- No.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52- But how many of these do you see? - Hundreds.- Exactly.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55- What about an estimate on that? - Well, £30 to £40.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57- I mean...pretty much. - You can't go wrong.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01They paid £15, so that's fantastic.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03So, profit, profit, profit.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07Let's see if the bonus buy brings a fourth profit.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11- Have a look.- Are you ready? - Yeah.- Yes.
0:31:11 > 0:31:15Sometimes big-value items come in small form.
0:31:15 > 0:31:21- Wow!- And here is a small silver hand-planished apple form pillbox.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24I think it's really cute. It's marked "Romana" to the base.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27For a second, I thought, "Romania, amazing!"
0:31:27 > 0:31:30- But it's South American silver.- Ah. - Look at it.- It's lovely. May I?
0:31:30 > 0:31:33Feel free to open it up. It opens. It's a pillbox.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36- I might have a struggle opening it but I'll have a go.- There you go.
0:31:36 > 0:31:40- Lovely, look at that. Wow, what do you think?- That's beautiful!
0:31:40 > 0:31:42- And the age? - The age is 20th century.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45As to exactly when in the 20th century, it's difficult to say.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47- About MY age, Ron.- Do you reckon?
0:31:47 > 0:31:51- OK.- Yeah.- A good antique then. - THEY LAUGH
0:31:51 > 0:31:55- Thank you(!)- I'm sorry about that one. Just kidding.- It's beautiful.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59- How much did you pay, may I ask? - It had a huge ticket price on it.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01I thought I didn't have a chance
0:32:01 > 0:32:04cos I didn't want to get it in three figures and it had £150 on it.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07- As much as that?- Yeah.- No!
0:32:07 > 0:32:09But I talked our dealer into giving me a good deal
0:32:09 > 0:32:13- and blow me down, £30.- No! - No!- £30.- Really?- I know.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16What will be the profit at the auction on this one, do you think?
0:32:16 > 0:32:17I don't think it's going to be huge
0:32:17 > 0:32:19but I'm confident there's a profit in it.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21I think Catherine will say £40 to £60 or so
0:32:21 > 0:32:23and I think it's got to make more than £30.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25- Well, we'll find out, won't we?- Yes.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29Let's see what Miss Southon thinks of the delicious apple.
0:32:30 > 0:32:35- Natasha has come up with this. - I love this!- Mmm, I'm not surprised.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38I think this is absolutely gorgeous
0:32:38 > 0:32:41- and the more that I look at it, the more I love it.- Mmm.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44It's almost good enough to eat, isn't it?
0:32:44 > 0:32:46Look how perfectly modelled that is.
0:32:46 > 0:32:51South American and it's beautifully hammered and it's just lovely.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53- It is beautiful. - Had it been English,
0:32:53 > 0:32:57- it would be worth a fortune. - Crikey, £300 to £500 probably,
0:32:57 > 0:32:59- to a collector, wouldn't it?- Yeah.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01I think lots of people will be on that
0:33:01 > 0:33:04because it's a novelty silver piece. It's unusual.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06When was the last time you saw one of those?
0:33:06 > 0:33:10- I'm not sure I've seen one like that.- It's fab.- Yeah. Estimate?
0:33:10 > 0:33:12You've got a punchy estimate on this, haven't you?
0:33:12 > 0:33:14I'm really excited! No, I haven't gone punchy.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18I've actually put a fairly mediocre, I think, £50 to £80.
0:33:18 > 0:33:23- But that's punchy.- Is it? - Paid £30.- Oh, well.- Ooh.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26- She did good, that Natasha. - Well done, Natasha!
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Let's get straight into that auction.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31£70. Any more at £70 then?
0:33:31 > 0:33:36- £85? All done then, at 110. - SHE BANGS GAVEL
0:33:36 > 0:33:40- Una, do you go to salerooms a lot? - Yes, I do, actually.- Do you?- Yes.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42With success, buying?
0:33:42 > 0:33:45- Er, I usually pay over the odds, get too wrapped up.- Do you?
0:33:45 > 0:33:48Let's hope people today are paying over the odds on YOUR lots.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52- What about you, William?- I quite like buying things.- Do you?- Yes.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55- Cricketing things, no doubt. - Pictures.- Pictures.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57- I have bought a cricket bat at auction.- Have you?
0:33:57 > 0:34:01- Massively overpaid for it!- Oh, dear. - It was a charity auction.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Well, that's fair enough. Anyway, your first lot
0:34:03 > 0:34:06are the lorgnettes. Here we go.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Who'll give me £30 for this?
0:34:08 > 0:34:11Thank you. £30 is bid. £30.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15I'm giving it away. Thank you. 5. 40.
0:34:15 > 0:34:16- Now we're going.- Thank goodness.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19One more? Go one. £40.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21This lady's bid at £40.
0:34:21 > 0:34:25£40. Do you want to go one more, madam?
0:34:25 > 0:34:29Go on, why not? 45. 50.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31£50. Are you sure?
0:34:31 > 0:34:34- This is splendid!- It's done now.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36£50. Any more at 50 then?
0:34:36 > 0:34:41- I'm going to sell for £50. £50. - SHE BANGS GAVEL
0:34:41 > 0:34:44- Superb.- See, I told you.- How much? - £50.- Profit of £20.- There you go.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47- You've got your sauce boat now. - Yeah, not so happy with that.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50With me at 25. 25. Come on.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53Who's going to give me £30 for this?
0:34:53 > 0:34:56Surely £30. 30. 5. 40.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00£40 then. Lady's bid at £40.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03- It's a lovely thing for £40.- 45.
0:35:03 > 0:35:0745. One more? 50. 5.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11Come on. 60. 5.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15- No more? £65.- Go on! - Lady's bid at 65.
0:35:15 > 0:35:19Go on, silver's worth £85.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22Against you, net. £65.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24SHE BANGS GAVEL Oh, well.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26It's only lost £15, the sauce boat.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29It's not too bad. Una, don't hit him!
0:35:29 > 0:35:34- You were £20 up, so you're now just £5 up.- Well, we're still up.- Yeah.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37- Whose choice was this?- We chose it.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40- It was a joint effort.- The boys. - The boys' lot.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43Who's going to give me £30?
0:35:46 > 0:35:51£30? £20 then? Thank you, madam. £20.
0:35:51 > 0:35:58- We have £20. 5. Madam?- One more, one more.- Come on, madam, one more.
0:35:58 > 0:36:02- £25 then is bid. 30 now.- Ooh! - That's more like it.
0:36:02 > 0:36:06- I have £30 and I will sell for 30. - This is quite good.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09- £30 then, all done. - SHE BANGS GAVEL
0:36:09 > 0:36:14Profit of £14 which, added to your £5, makes £19.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16- We made a profit. - This is sensational.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18- Ah, now the bonus buy. - The bonus buy.
0:36:18 > 0:36:22- No, no.- The bonus buy.- No. - Look at her - "No!"
0:36:22 > 0:36:26Una is absolutely adamant she's going nowhere near this one.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28- William, what about you? - I'm afraid she's right.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30I'm not certain I'm going to argue the case.
0:36:30 > 0:36:36We do have interest. We have interest. We have 45. 50.
0:36:36 > 0:36:41With me at £50. 55, thank you. I'm out.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43- THOMAS:- 55. Might make 60. - CATHERINE:- 55.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49This is a jolly nice piece. £55. 60 now.
0:36:49 > 0:36:525. £65 then.
0:36:52 > 0:36:56I will sell to the gentleman seated, at £65.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58- SHE BANGS GAVEL Well...- £65.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01- A shrewd decision.- He might have gone on and paid at least...
0:37:01 > 0:37:05Yes, he could have paid £200, of course, but we'll never know.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08You made a profit. You can be very proud of yourselves.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10- We could have made more.- £19.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13I was trying to work out how you're going to divide
0:37:13 > 0:37:15- £19 between the two of you. - It's very simple.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17I have a feeling it's going to be 19-0, isn't it?
0:37:17 > 0:37:19It might well be, yeah.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21Anyway, not a word to the Blues
0:37:21 > 0:37:24- because that could be a winning score and we'll find out later.- OK.
0:37:30 > 0:37:34One of you is a regular to the saleroom. Ron, that's you, isn't it?
0:37:34 > 0:37:36- Yes.- And Claudia, this is your debut?
0:37:36 > 0:37:38- Yes, my first time at an auction. - Don't look so nervous, darling.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41- I'm shaking.- Don't shake. It's going to be terribly exciting.
0:37:41 > 0:37:45- That's why I'm holding her.- We're starting with that vase.- Oh, yes.
0:37:45 > 0:37:50Your "lovely" vase, that enormous trumpet-shaped vase.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52- Did you detect a note of sarcasm there?- Just a hint.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56- Not a big fan, Charlie? - No, I've got to be honest,
0:37:56 > 0:38:01I'm not good at lying. I think this vase is ordinary.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05- As good as that? - But it only cost £4.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09£20. Come on, who's going to give me £20 for this?
0:38:09 > 0:38:13£20 is bid. There's a man who knows his vases.
0:38:13 > 0:38:17£20. £20, thank you, sir.
0:38:17 > 0:38:22£20. Any more? At £20 surely. No more? Are you sure?
0:38:22 > 0:38:27- You can get a lot of flowers in there. £20 then.- One more.- £20.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30- You may regret it. £20. - SHE BANGS GAVEL
0:38:30 > 0:38:32- Hooray!- Happy days!
0:38:32 > 0:38:36You've made a profit of £16.
0:38:36 > 0:38:41Now, the next lot, the Capodimonte porcelain salts and covers.
0:38:41 > 0:38:42£40.
0:38:44 > 0:38:45£30 then?
0:38:46 > 0:38:51£20. £20 is bid, thank you.
0:38:51 > 0:38:55£20. £20. I will sell at 20 then.
0:38:55 > 0:38:56£20.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00- Yes! £25.- Let's go for it! Yes!
0:39:00 > 0:39:05- Now we're taking off.- £30 then. I will sell at £30.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07- £30. - SHE BANGS GAVEL
0:39:07 > 0:39:11- Going under! Oh, no! - You've lost £25 there.
0:39:11 > 0:39:16- You're now minus £9.- Oh...- Oh my!
0:39:16 > 0:39:18But there's a chance here with the atomiser.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21That's got to be worth £30 of anyone's money.
0:39:21 > 0:39:25£30? Come on, ladies. £30? Thank you.

0:41:07 > 0:41:11that you have made a profit of £51 on Bargain Hunt.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14That's the beers sorted out for tonight.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17- Now, not a word to the Reds who, of course, may have made £151.- Sure.
0:41:17 > 0:41:22- Or may have lost a lot. Who knows? - OK.- Zippo until later.- Shtum.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25- Thank you.- Happy days. Yeah!
0:41:31 > 0:41:34This has been a fantastic competition.

0:41:43 > 0:41:47- One team has made more money than the other.- OK.

0:42:01 > 0:42:06- was not going with your bonus buy. - Thank you(!) Thank you, everybody(!)
0:42:06 > 0:42:07That photograph frame pendant.

0:42:27 > 0:42:29You only had one loss in all.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32The genius was to go with that wonderful apple.

0:42:49 > 0:42:52- And £1 for Natasha. - No, that's probably for you, Ron.
