Today, we're in London's Notting Hill

0:00:020:00:05

at the antiques market, which has a carnival atmosphere.

0:00:050:00:08

# Well, ladies and gents Please listen to me

0:00:100:00:13

# This is Bargain Hunt on the BBC

0:00:130:00:15

# Red versus Blues Charlie Ross presenting

0:00:150:00:18

# Join us as we go Bargain Hunting. #

0:00:180:00:20

APPLAUSE

0:00:200:00:22

Well, you heard the man, let's go Bargain Hunting!

0:00:220:00:26

The Portobello Road street market began to include antiques

0:00:500:00:54

back in the '50s, just a few years before the carnival took off.

0:00:540:00:58

Nowadays, they're the main attraction.

0:00:580:01:01

Our teams have got £300

0:01:010:01:03

and just one hour in which to sniff out

0:01:030:01:06

some interesting and affordable items.

0:01:060:01:09

Let's have a butcher's hook at how they get on.

0:01:090:01:12

We'll find out what to buy...

0:01:140:01:16

-No, we don't want ladles. Nobody has soup anymore.

-I want a ladle.

0:01:160:01:20

-..where to go...

-Going that way?

-Yeah, just one more...

0:01:200:01:24

But you have only eight minutes.

0:01:240:01:25

You can boil three eggs in eight minutes. Come on, let's go.

0:01:250:01:29

..and, most importantly, who's about to make profits.

0:01:290:01:33

-Oh!

-That's a bit more like it.

0:01:330:01:36

-Hooray!

-Happy days.

0:01:360:01:39

But before all that, let's meet the teams.

0:01:420:01:44

For our Red team today, we have a married couple,

0:01:440:01:46

Una and William, and for our Blue team,

0:01:460:01:49

we have Ronald and Claudia who are nearly married, as I understand it.

0:01:490:01:53

-Hello, everyone. ALL:

-Hello.

0:01:530:01:55

-Good to see you. Looking forward to it?

-Yes.

0:01:550:01:57

Una, are you REALLY looking forward to it?

0:01:570:02:00

Really looking forward to it.

0:02:000:02:01

-You look an enthusiastic sort to me.

-Yeah, ready to go.

0:02:010:02:04

-You met a long time ago, didn't you?

-Yes, over 25 years ago.

0:02:040:02:07

I was an American medical student and he was a banker in London

0:02:070:02:10

-and we dated transatlantically.

-Romance!

0:02:100:02:13

This was before the internet, before mobile phones.

0:02:130:02:16

It was so ancient, so we had to write letters and pick up the phone.

0:02:160:02:19

-Airmail?!

-Yes.

-I remember airmail!

0:02:190:02:21

How long did it take the letters to get...?

0:02:210:02:24

Weeks, so I had to write every other day

0:02:240:02:25

so he had something to open. A lot of writing.

0:02:250:02:28

Una, you WERE a doctor for some time.

0:02:280:02:31

Yes, I'm a retired GP and I was a GP for about 20 years.

0:02:310:02:34

But with a string of qualifications.

0:02:340:02:37

Yes, I have a BA, MD,

0:02:370:02:40

FRSCEd, ENT, Surgery...

0:02:400:02:43

Thank you, thank you! I'm sure you've got many more.

0:02:430:02:46

William, what's it like being married to this dynamo?

0:02:460:02:49

-It's hard work!

-I bet it's hard work!

0:02:490:02:52

LAUGHTER

0:02:520:02:54

I bet it is. But you and I share something, don't we? Cricket.

0:02:540:02:57

Cricket, yes. I like cricket. I play a bit of cricket, I watch cricket.

0:02:570:03:01

-Do you?

-Yes.

-Wonderful. Do you still play?

-Just about.

0:03:010:03:04

-I can just about get on the pitch.

-Where do you play?

0:03:040:03:06

-Mostly in Ireland.

-Do you?

-Yes.

-A bit damp, isn't it?

0:03:060:03:09

It can be a bit damp but rain doesn't really stop play now

0:03:090:03:12

and, otherwise, you never would play.

0:03:120:03:14

THEY LAUGH

0:03:140:03:16

-You also have a passion for antiques, don't you?

-Yes, we do.

0:03:160:03:19

-Who will be doing the negotiating?

-I think that's my job.

-Oh, is it?

0:03:190:03:23

I think I might be doing some negotiating.

0:03:230:03:26

It's going to be great fun having you on the programme.

0:03:260:03:29

And for our Blue team, we've got the wonderful Ronald and Claudia.

0:03:290:03:32

-Hello.

-Hello.

-Going to enjoy it?

-Yes.

-I'm sure you are.

0:03:320:03:36

-Ronald, how did you two meet?

-We met in Romania about eight years ago.

0:03:360:03:41

-Yeah.

-I was working out in the clothing trade.

0:03:410:03:44

-I was a production manager.

-Rag trade!

-Yeah.

0:03:440:03:46

-Claudia was working there and the eyes met and...

-And that was it?

0:03:460:03:50

-And that was it.

-Romance in Romania.

-Absolutely.

0:03:500:03:53

I plucked the courage up to go and speak to her

0:03:530:03:55

-cos I was a bit of a shy lad at the time.

-It took him six hours.

0:03:550:03:58

Took me six hours, wasn't long, and the rest is history.

0:03:580:04:00

-And you're engaged?

-We are, for the last seven years. It's coming close.

0:04:000:04:05

-I'm planning.

-Planning.

-I'm a long planner.

-He is planning.

0:04:050:04:08

-Have you got a date yet?

-Not yet, but it could be happening very soon.

0:04:080:04:12

-You're also a cricket fan?

-Big fan.

0:04:120:04:13

Played as a youngster,, reasonable level, sort of village green level.

0:04:130:04:18

-Claudia, you like the cricket too?

-Yes.

-Loves it.

-I love it now.

0:04:180:04:23

-Claudia, you're also very artistic, aren't you?

-Yes, I am.

0:04:230:04:26

I've been very, very lucky to graduate

0:04:260:04:29

the university of puppetry and marionettes from Romania.

0:04:290:04:33

-Do you make them?

-Yes, we did actually made them.

0:04:330:04:36

-How wonderful.

-Yes, we did made the puppets and marionettes

0:04:360:04:39

and also handle it as well.

0:04:390:04:41

And also I did different sketches and all these abstract works

0:04:410:04:47

-and things like that.

-Abstract?

0:04:470:04:49

They all look more like Michael Jackson, so Ron says.

0:04:490:04:51

That's abstract, all right! So, what are you going to buy?

0:04:510:04:54

-Anything that's good value.

-Anything in good condition.

0:04:540:04:57

Good value, good condition - where have I heard THAT before?

0:04:570:05:00

-Well, good luck. I'm going to give you some money.

-Thank you.

-£300.

0:05:000:05:04

-Thank you.

-Enjoy it.

-Thank you.

-There we are, Una.

0:05:040:05:07

Spend it well, have a great time. Off you go.

0:05:070:05:10

I wonder if they'll be buying old bats and balls. Probably!

0:05:100:05:14

Time to meet our experts.

0:05:190:05:21

Serving the Reds today will be ace adviser Thomas Plant,

0:05:220:05:26

while snapping up bargains with the Blues is hotshot Natasha Raskin.

0:05:260:05:31

So, William, Una, we've got £300. What are we going to spend it on?

0:05:310:05:35

-I think we should try and look at some silver.

-Yeah.

0:05:350:05:38

If we can get it at a good price.

0:05:380:05:39

I'm looking for a bit of jewellery, maybe, silver.

0:05:390:05:43

Something fashionable and get it at a really good price

0:05:430:05:45

and make a big profit.

0:05:450:05:47

-I like boxes.

-Boxes.

-I'm a bit of a box man, yeah.

0:05:470:05:50

-Let's go see if we can find one.

-Yeah.

0:05:500:05:52

Right, teams, your 60 minutes starts now.

0:05:530:05:56

BELL RINGS

0:05:560:05:57

-Are we ready to do it?

-Absolutely!

-Let's go!

-Go!

0:05:570:06:00

Time's ticking and we've got to find some bargains.

0:06:000:06:03

Thomas will find the store and I'll find the item.

0:06:030:06:05

-Is that's what's going to work?

-I think so.

0:06:050:06:07

This is closer to Thomas's stomping ground than it is mine,

0:06:070:06:10

so I'm a bit of a fish out of water.

0:06:100:06:12

Well, I'm a Londoner, so I might be able to help just a little.

0:06:120:06:14

-I'm going to rely on your patter.

-Thanks very much.

0:06:140:06:16

So, who's going to spot something first?

0:06:160:06:20

Thomas, is that a real Rolex?

0:06:200:06:23

-It will be a real Rolex, yes, it will be.

-But it won't be £200.

0:06:230:06:27

-We only have £300.

-UNA LAUGHS

0:06:270:06:30

Such an expensive eye. I always go for the quality stuff.

0:06:300:06:33

It will definitely be a real Rolex.

0:06:330:06:36

Full marks for quality, but it's bargains we're after!

0:06:360:06:40

The Blues seem to have a very different approach.

0:06:400:06:42

-Anything immediately catching your eye?

-I've seen a cat.

0:06:420:06:45

-You've seen a cat? Where?

-The little one there.

-The little one.

0:06:450:06:49

-The wee brass one. Let's have a look at him.

-Ah.

0:06:490:06:52

-First of all, are you a cat lover?

-I love cats!

0:06:520:06:55

-You said that with such intensity.

-I do, I do.

-Mad on cats.

0:06:550:06:58

-Do you have any cats?

-No, not in London.

-We've got a budgie.

0:06:580:07:03

-It just doesn't go with a budgie.

-I forgot about him. Oh, my goodness.

0:07:030:07:07

OK, so why do you love this wee brass cat?

0:07:070:07:10

-He's not particularly exciting, is he?

-No, I don't know what it's for.

0:07:100:07:14

-It has this thing at the back.

-So he does. OK, so, what IS that for?

0:07:140:07:19

-I'm not entirely sure.

-How much is this, please?

0:07:190:07:22

-VENDOR:

-It is not expensive. It is £15.

0:07:220:07:25

-£15 for the cat.

-I mean, as much as that?

-Cheeky!

0:07:250:07:30

-For this little fellow?

-What are you expecting?

0:07:300:07:33

The cat goes back. You can do better, Blues.

0:07:350:07:38

The Reds haven't moved, still rummaging at their stall.

0:07:380:07:41

-Wow, that's really pretty too.

-Yeah, the lenses?

0:07:410:07:45

-Yeah, the lenses.

-They're called lorgnettes.

-Lorgnettes.

0:07:450:07:48

They're sort of reading glasses but they would be sprung-hinged,

0:07:480:07:52

-so they'd be glasses, like you're wearing...

-Can you open it up?

0:07:520:07:55

-Can we have a look?

-Yes, come on, get stuck in!

0:07:550:07:58

-What you do, you take them out.

-Yeah.

0:07:590:08:01

You've got the lenses here, so you could even use them

0:08:010:08:04

-as a magnifying glass but press that, bam-bam.

-Oh, wow.

0:08:040:08:08

-You know.

-Like reading glasses?

-They're reading glasses but...

0:08:080:08:12

-You can actually put it on a chain.

-And pretend to be a lady.

0:08:120:08:15

-You ARE a lady.

-You ARE a lady, but like a dowagess.

0:08:150:08:19

-And what's the metal?

-You can be Maggie Smith.

0:08:190:08:23

A gilt metal, so it's gold-plated.

0:08:230:08:26

It's really pretty and something I can see in a period drama

0:08:260:08:29

and I know people would buy it, they'd love it.

0:08:290:08:31

But I tell you what you have to do, with the period drama,

0:08:310:08:35

is they've got to be the right date.

0:08:350:08:37

Sometimes, some of these period dramas,

0:08:370:08:39

they put the wrong glasses on people, don't they?

0:08:390:08:41

I wonder which ones he means.

0:08:410:08:43

Somebody will like these.

0:08:430:08:45

Yes, but it's still practical as well.

0:08:450:08:47

-How much is this?

-45.

-45.

0:08:470:08:49

-And your very best?

-I'll do them for 35.

0:08:490:08:53

-£35. It's not bad, £35.

-Yeah.

0:08:530:08:57

-Are you going to do a little chunk, are you?

-Could you do them for 30?

0:08:570:09:01

Oh, dear, the way you're looking at me, I've got to.

0:09:010:09:04

-Oh, Una's charmed him.

-£30.

-Well done.

0:09:040:09:08

-Five minutes into shopping, first item done.

-There you go.

-Cool.

0:09:100:09:13

-OK, let's go onto the next one then.

-Ready.

0:09:130:09:16

Busy, busy, busy, the Reds are off to a flier.

0:09:160:09:19

Meanwhile, the Blues have gone from cats to pigs.

0:09:190:09:23

I was looking at them pigs.

0:09:230:09:24

What material do you think they are, Natasha?

0:09:240:09:27

We'd have to handle them

0:09:270:09:28

because they could be patinated plaster, they could be anything.

0:09:280:09:31

-Let's have a look.

-How heavy are they?

-VENDOR:

-They're very heavy.

0:09:310:09:34

-Very heavy?

-Are they lead?

-I thought they were made of cast iron.

0:09:340:09:38

-Right.

-I don't think they're lead.

-He's a jolly old fellow.

0:09:380:09:41

He's cuddling a rabbit, if you look close enough.

0:09:410:09:43

Is that not a four-leaf clover?

0:09:430:09:45

-So you think they've got an Irish influence?

-I don't know.

0:09:450:09:49

What we need to talk about is their virtue. They're probably Victorian.

0:09:490:09:52

Victorian, the era of huge mass production.

0:09:520:09:55

They're almost identical. In fact, they ARE identical,

0:09:550:09:58

-so they come from a mould. Are they a precious metal? No.

-No.

0:09:580:10:01

Are they elaborately coloured and bright and catching of the eye? No.

0:10:010:10:05

-But are they quite quirky and fun? Yes.

-Yes.

-Are they expensive?

0:10:050:10:09

-Shall we find out how much they are?

-That would be nice.

0:10:090:10:12

-I had in mind £30.

-30?

-Yes.

-I'm not sure.

-OK.

0:10:120:10:16

Shall we chance putting them down for now?

0:10:160:10:18

Maybe if they're here when we come back...

0:10:180:10:20

He's a very nice gentleman and I'm sure we can renegotiate on that 30.

0:10:200:10:24

Pigs on hold. I think they might be planning a menagerie.

0:10:240:10:29

Now for their fast-starting rivals.

0:10:290:10:31

Any chance of William getting a look-in?

0:10:310:10:33

-Just outside.

-Have a quick look.

-Yeah, let's have a look.

0:10:330:10:37

Go on, have a hold.

0:10:370:10:39

-That's quite nice.

-VENDOR:

-Nice feet, double-scroll handles...

0:10:390:10:42

-I would buy this myself.

-I like the fact you'd buy it yourself.

0:10:420:10:45

The date for that is 1931, so we're looking at George V.

0:10:450:10:51

Gadrooned rim.

0:10:510:10:54

-This is heavy.

-Has it got a good gauge?

-Got a good weight on it.

0:10:540:10:57

-I like that.

-And it's been retailed through Harrods.

0:10:570:11:01

I think that makes it rather vulgar.

0:11:010:11:02

There's no pleasing some folk, is there?

0:11:020:11:05

Right, OK. If you like it, that's a good sign.

0:11:050:11:09

-OK.

-What's the best on that?

-98 - that's a bit...

0:11:090:11:12

Well, it's the weight, you see.

0:11:120:11:14

-Yeah.

-It smashes out for, like, £80. Break it.

0:11:140:11:18

-What will you do it for?

-85?

-UNA:

-No, 70.

0:11:180:11:23

-VENDOR:

-Your silver value is worth 80.

0:11:230:11:26

-I'd do that for 85.

-£80. May I say £80?

0:11:260:11:31

May I whisper £80?

0:11:310:11:33

-Yeah, go on then.

-£80.

-Yeah.

-Shall we buy this?

-Definitely.

-Done deal.

0:11:330:11:38

Thank you very much.

0:11:380:11:40

-UNA:

-Thank you very much, sir.

-£80, done.

0:11:400:11:42

Another in the bag. They don't dilly-dally.

0:11:420:11:46

-Let's go.

-That's great.

-Thank you, bye-bye.

0:11:460:11:49

Claudia and Ron, meanwhile, seem determined to keep it real.

0:11:500:11:54

How does that appeal to you? What do you think of that?

0:11:540:11:57

A nice pedestal base there,

0:11:570:11:59

it's got a lovely sort of... almost trumpet-shape,

0:11:590:12:03

it's nice and hand-blown - look at those bubbles.

0:12:030:12:06

How old do you think it is?

0:12:060:12:08

I think it's probably 1950s or '60s, something like that.

0:12:080:12:11

I think it's got that kind of design era feel to it.

0:12:110:12:14

-Is this a natural marking, Natasha?

-Which markings? Yes.

0:12:140:12:17

This marking - is this a natural fleck?

0:12:170:12:20

The bubbles are as a result of sort of twisting the glass,

0:12:200:12:24

whilst it's being hand-blown, to create these flecks of bubbles.

0:12:240:12:27

-What do you think, Clau?

-I think it's different.

0:12:270:12:31

I'm not sure about the colour but...

0:12:310:12:33

What would you expect to get in auction for this type of item?

0:12:330:12:37

-Not a lot of money. £10, £12, something like that.

-OK.

0:12:370:12:39

-But if he's packing up...

-Shall we have a go?

0:12:390:12:42

I think we should because I bought a bunch of flowers the other day

0:12:420:12:45

and could I find a vase to fit? And THAT would have been perfect.

0:12:450:12:48

You could get a few bunches in there.

0:12:480:12:51

Clau, would you like to speak to the gentleman?

0:12:510:12:53

Bear in mind he's packing up, so give him a last-minute deal.

0:12:530:12:56

-OK.

-VENDOR:

-A fiver.

-Oh!

-What?!

0:12:560:12:59

-RONALD:

-What do you think?

-What do you think?

0:12:590:13:01

-Can I be cheeky and offer you £4?

-VENDOR:

-If you like.

0:13:030:13:06

-RONALD:

-That's very nice. What do you reckon?

-Let's go for it.

0:13:060:13:10

-Yeah, let's go for it. We're happy with that.

-Thank you, sir.

0:13:100:13:13

-The deal is done.

-Thank you.

0:13:130:13:15

Crumbs! They'll have three for less than a tenner at this rate!

0:13:150:13:19

Half an hour's gone, believe it or not, so we need two items.

0:13:190:13:22

We've got one in the bag but we need two more in half an hour.

0:13:220:13:25

-Do you think we can do it?

-Do you think we should rush?

-Yeah.

0:13:250:13:28

-I think so, let's go.

-Shall I run? Shall I run?

0:13:280:13:31

The Reds are already two-thirds there.

0:13:330:13:35

What does their expert make of them?

0:13:350:13:38

Una and William, they don't dither, they make decisions.

0:13:380:13:42

No, we don't want ladles. Nobody has soup anymore.

0:13:420:13:45

I think it's because they're both professional business people.

0:13:450:13:48

-They're successful, they're clever, they know when it's a good deal.

-No!

0:13:480:13:52

I love those lorgnettes. Una spotted them. She likes the style.

0:13:520:13:56

And then William looked at that sauce boat

0:13:560:13:58

and said, "I like that. I'd buy that."

0:13:580:14:00

And, actually, looking at it, I would as well.

0:14:000:14:03

I think he's got a bit of style, that man.

0:14:030:14:05

I've sent them on ahead to look at another stall.

0:14:050:14:08

I wonder what Una and William will have spotted then.

0:14:080:14:10

I'll find out.

0:14:100:14:13

He sounds chipper!

0:14:130:14:14

Time to pad up and take a look at a bit of sporting history

0:14:140:14:18

both our teams might like to get hold of.

0:14:180:14:20

Have you got an old bat in your loft? One like this?

0:14:270:14:31

Or possibly in the garage

0:14:310:14:33

that was used by your father or your grandfather?

0:14:330:14:36

I've got several old bats but none as exciting as this.

0:14:360:14:39

OK, it doesn't look much from the front, does it?

0:14:390:14:42

And it's a bit old and a bit perished

0:14:420:14:44

but, if we turn it round, there's a certain magic to this bat.

0:14:440:14:48

It has got signatures

0:14:480:14:50

of some of the finest players that ever played the game.

0:14:500:14:54

It's got the Australian and England teams

0:14:540:14:57

from the 1936-'37 Ashes series that was played in Australia.

0:14:570:15:04

England won the first two test matches

0:15:040:15:06

and it was only a five-match series,

0:15:060:15:08

so people thought, "It's all over", but it wasn't.

0:15:080:15:11

We came to the third test match. Remember, England two up.

0:15:110:15:15

And England were about to win the third test

0:15:150:15:17

when the great Donald Bradman came to the wicket

0:15:170:15:20

and in the second innings, he scored 271, and Australia won the game.

0:15:200:15:26

And after that, Australia won the fourth test

0:15:260:15:29

and they won the fifth test

0:15:290:15:31

and that enabled them to win the whole series.

0:15:310:15:34

If you're a good test batsman,

0:15:340:15:35

you average probably 40 or 50 per innings.

0:15:350:15:38

Donald Bradman, when he finished, averaged 99.94.

0:15:380:15:44

In fact, when he walked out to bat for the last time,

0:15:440:15:47

had he scored 4, he would have averaged 100, but he was out for 0.

0:15:470:15:52

But we've got his signature here.

0:15:520:15:54

That, in itself, is worth £100 or £200.

0:15:540:15:57

What else makes this bat exciting?

0:15:570:15:59

Well, of course, it's signed by the England side as well.

0:15:590:16:02

England had the great Wally Hammond playing for them.

0:16:020:16:08

It's got Wally Hammond's signature.

0:16:080:16:10

But if you come up to the top of the bat, there are some initials here.

0:16:100:16:14

WRH. Could this have been Wally Hammond's bat?

0:16:150:16:20

Well, it might have been.

0:16:200:16:22

But, leaving that aside, the bat's still worth £500, £600.

0:16:220:16:27

It cost me £200. I bought it at auction.

0:16:270:16:31

Somebody else had spotted it

0:16:310:16:32

because I really had hoped to buy it for £20 or £30,

0:16:320:16:35

but I wasn't the only one that had turned it over

0:16:350:16:38

and read the signatures.

0:16:380:16:40

Having said that, very happy to buy it for £200

0:16:400:16:42

and, in years to come,

0:16:420:16:44

something like this is not going go down in value.

0:16:440:16:47

I'll put it back in the loft and when I've passed on,

0:16:470:16:50

somebody will clear out the loft - hopefully, my son -

0:16:500:16:53

and he will find this old bat and he'll go along to a valuer

0:16:530:16:57

and he'll say, "What's this bat worth?"

0:16:570:17:00

And, who knows, it might be £2,000 or £3,000 by then.

0:17:000:17:03

Now, play resumes, Reds leading 2-1, as we head into the final session.

0:17:130:17:18

What about the wee dish there with the lady on top?

0:17:200:17:23

It's hard to age from here. Shall we delve in a wee bit?

0:17:230:17:26

-Let's have a look, yeah.

-Let's have a look.

0:17:260:17:28

-VENDOR:

-It's Capodimonte.

-Yes.

-Ah.

0:17:280:17:31

I didn't even see there are a pair of them. How handy is that?

0:17:310:17:34

-Let's have a wee look.

-They're 45 each.

-45 each.

0:17:340:17:37

Hand-painted Capodimonte. Look at the quality.

0:17:370:17:40

Hand-painted all the way around with these wee beasties and everything.

0:17:400:17:44

-OK.

-I thought, from a distance, these were a pair but, actually,

0:17:440:17:48

when you look closely, they're almost identical.

0:17:480:17:51

What do you think of the auction price

0:17:510:17:54

or the auction valuation of that, Natasha?

0:17:540:17:56

I think, at auction, it's going to be something like £20 to £40.

0:17:560:18:00

Auctioneers want things to sell.

0:18:000:18:02

They don't want put off items with a value of...

0:18:020:18:05

-OK, how much is this item?

-They're £45 each.

0:18:050:18:08

-Mmm, 45 each. May I make you an offer?

-Yes, sure.

0:18:080:18:12

I'd like to think that a reasonable offer would be about £28 to £32.

0:18:120:18:18

-What do you think?

-For one?

-For one.

0:18:180:18:21

-CLAUDIA:

-Can we get the two for 50? Would that be a possibility?

0:18:210:18:26

-VENDOR:

-Er, two would be 60.

0:18:260:18:29

-55 and we'll take the two.

-VENDOR:

-All right.

-CLAUDIA:

-OK?

0:18:290:18:33

Thank you very much.

0:18:330:18:34

Good work, Ron.

0:18:340:18:36

Capodimonte isn't everyone's cup of tea, but you never know.

0:18:360:18:40

-Neither is THAT!

-Bit of fun design made out of...

-Perspex.

-Perspex.

0:18:410:18:46

Sort of made in the 1970s.

0:18:460:18:49

I have to say, Una's abandoned us.

0:18:500:18:52

-She's gone.

-I don't blame her! Now, the Blues take a closer look.

0:18:530:18:58

Is there anything here you think,

0:18:580:19:00

"I could do with one of those in my wee room"?

0:19:000:19:03

-Actually, no, there isn't.

-It's not your cup of tea?

0:19:030:19:05

-Letter openers, that sort of thing. Table top items.

-Let's march on.

0:19:050:19:09

-Thank you, sir.

-Thank you.

-Thank you very much.

0:19:090:19:11

Blues on the move and Una's back on board, aiming for a cheap last buy.

0:19:110:19:17

-Do you like that?

-What's the metal?

-Copper, wrought iron...

0:19:170:19:21

-That's really nice.

-On Perspex.

-What price?

-A bit of design. How much?

0:19:210:19:25

-How much would you pay for that? This is a good game.

-OK, £30.

0:19:250:19:29

-Guess again.

-What do you mean?

-It falls within your budget.

0:19:290:19:33

-£20?

-Mmm.

-No way!

-Yes.

-OK, it's done, it's done.

0:19:330:19:36

-Well, let's not pay £20.

-Oh!

-We'll ask him.

0:19:380:19:42

So, it's a piece of design, it's on Perspex...

0:19:420:19:45

-It's iron, it's copper, it's Perspex...

-Wrought-iron copper.

0:19:450:19:48

-I don't think it's...

-Very 1970s, isn't it?

-It's quite '70s.

0:19:480:19:52

-£18 with a £2 profit.

-No, we can get down better than that.

-Oh.

0:19:520:19:58

-VENDOR:

-Yeah, I'll do it for 18.

-What about 15?

0:19:580:20:00

-UNA:

-All right, we're still negotiating.

0:20:000:20:02

-VENDOR:

-I could have had 18 just now!

0:20:020:20:04

-UNA:

-No, it's a team...

-Una, this...

0:20:040:20:07

OK, let's do it again. OK, let's do it again.

0:20:070:20:10

-UNA:

-15.

-VENDOR:

-17.

-UNA:

-16.

-I can't get a word in edgeways!

0:20:100:20:16

THEY LAUGH

0:20:160:20:18

-We're done at 16.

-No, let Thomas speak.

0:20:180:20:20

The thing is, you've done the cardinal sin

0:20:200:20:22

-of mentioning a figure when buying.

-Oh, yeah,

0:20:220:20:24

you're not supposed to mention the figure first.

0:20:240:20:27

-No, and that's your...

-Downfall.

-..downfall on that one.

0:20:270:20:30

So, I think, to be the honourable person...

0:20:300:20:33

-Oh, right.

-You mentioned 18.

-But he was going to go at 16!

0:20:330:20:36

-He went to 17!

-He went to 16.

-What did you go to?

0:20:360:20:40

-I ended up at 16.

-You ended up at 16?

0:20:400:20:42

-He's offering 16!

-Right, if you've offered 16...

0:20:420:20:45

The honourable thing is to accept the 16.

0:20:450:20:48

-VENDOR:

-I'm not going any lower than that.

0:20:480:20:50

£16. Done.

0:20:500:20:52

That was chaos!

0:20:520:20:54

But, well within the hour, they have their three items.

0:20:540:20:57

-Well done, you, well done.

-Thank you.

-Thank you very much.

0:20:570:21:00

-You've been so helpful.

-Thank you.

0:21:000:21:02

I don't think I've been that helpful, to be honest with you!

0:21:020:21:05

-You spotted that.

-I just thought a bit of style. £16.

0:21:050:21:09

Let's hope it's going to make a profit.

0:21:090:21:11

While the Reds head for the pavilion,

0:21:120:21:14

time is running out for the Blues.

0:21:140:21:16

I think we should give it one more go.

0:21:160:21:20

-Of going that way?

-Yeah.

-But we have only eight minutes.

0:21:200:21:23

You can boil three eggs in eight minutes. Come on, let's go!

0:21:230:21:26

We can do it, we can do it.

0:21:260:21:29

Might be a wee bit runny, though.

0:21:290:21:31

-Do you think the Blues are still out there?

-I'm pretty sure they are.

0:21:330:21:36

-Do you think they're one item down?

-I think they're still looking.

0:21:360:21:40

I think they're panicking.

0:21:400:21:42

I feel rather smug, I don't know about you.

0:21:420:21:45

-Definitely!

-Well done.

-Cheers.

0:21:450:21:49

Right, we're getting close to time.

0:21:490:21:51

We need to really make a move, but I've seen something I like.

0:21:510:21:54

Thank goodness for that!

0:21:540:21:56

-Where's our lady gone?

-Who's your lady?

0:21:560:21:58

-The one we bought the Capodimonte.

-She's a bit further up.

0:21:580:22:01

-Next to her, next to her.

-It's almost time.

0:22:010:22:04

-Perhaps Natasha needs to step in.

-Go, go, go, go!

0:22:040:22:06

-He's a familiar face.

-I'm just so not sure.

0:22:060:22:11

What about the atomiser? Do you like that? It's quite sweet.

0:22:110:22:14

-How much is the atomiser, sir?

-VENDOR:

-That's £20.

0:22:140:22:16

-It's silver, silver-topped.

-I would say...

0:22:160:22:20

-Have we got a deal at £15 on the atomiser?

-£15 on the atomiser?

0:22:200:22:25

-You look absolutely desperate.

-Yes, please.

-What do you reckon?

0:22:250:22:28

Lovely, I think we'll go for that.

0:22:280:22:30

It's sterling, it's got a nice design on it,

0:22:300:22:33

-the glass is cut-glass...

-Yeah, let's go for it!

-Hobnail cut.

0:22:330:22:37

-Can we handle that for the atomiser?

-Yeah, yeah.

0:22:370:22:39

-Shall we do it?

-Yeah.

-Shake on it and come on!

-It's a deal. £15.

0:22:390:22:43

Thank you ever so much.

0:22:430:22:44

Phew, that was close!

0:22:440:22:46

Right, teams, your 60 minutes are up!

0:22:460:22:50

-I wish I had more time. I want to spend more money.

-Yeah.

-More money?

0:22:500:22:53

-Yeah.

-We didn't spend a lot, did we?

-No!

-No!

0:22:530:22:55

Let's have a look at what the Red team have bought.

0:22:550:22:58

Una's costume drama lorgnettes for £30.

0:22:580:23:02

William's silver sauce boat for £80.

0:23:040:23:07

And Thomas's 1970s candlestick holder for £16.

0:23:090:23:13

-Have they been good, Thomas?

-Fabulous!

-Really?

-Yeah, super.

0:23:150:23:18

Have they spent big?

0:23:180:23:20

-No, but they spent three figures, which is a start.

-Good!

0:23:200:23:23

William, which is your favourite lot?

0:23:230:23:25

I like the silver sauce boat that we bought.

0:23:250:23:28

A silver sauce boat. Sounds rich to me. Una?

0:23:280:23:31

-The lorgnettes.

-The lorgnettes are your favourite.

-Yes.

0:23:310:23:33

William, what's going to make the biggest profit?

0:23:330:23:36

The lorgnettes are kind of interesting,

0:23:360:23:38

something someone could really get interested in.

0:23:380:23:40

-There's a lot of competition for that.

-Yeah.

0:23:400:23:43

-On a good day, that could be the sort of wild card, I think.

-Yeah.

0:23:430:23:46

-And you think the same, Una?

-Yes, I do.

-So, the lorgnettes for you.

0:23:460:23:49

-And how much did you spend?

-We spent £126.

-£126.

-£126.

0:23:490:23:54

So, that's going to leave £174 for your man. Hand it over.

0:23:540:23:59

Thomas Plant... CHARLIE LAUGHS

0:23:590:24:02

Have you got a large sack because there's a lot of money?

0:24:020:24:05

-Give it here, Rosco!

-Look at that lot! My word!

0:24:050:24:09

So, it's a difficult one cos these guys were so canny, so cautious.

0:24:090:24:14

Do I blow it all or do I reflect our shopping experience? Dunno.

0:24:140:24:21

Well, while Thomas goes off to reflect,

0:24:210:24:24

let's have a look at what the Blue team have bought.

0:24:240:24:27

Claudia's very loud trumpet vase for just £4.

0:24:290:24:33

A pair of Capodimonte salts for £55.

0:24:340:24:38

And Ron's last-minute atomiser for £15.

0:24:400:24:45

-Ronald and Claudia, you didn't spend a lot of money, did you?

-No.

0:24:460:24:49

-No, I'm afraid not.

-Very little. How much did you spend?

-£74.

0:24:490:24:54

Oh, my goodness me! Natasha, why couldn't you get them spending?

0:24:540:24:57

You take a Scot to London, I'm not going to spend London prices!

0:24:570:25:01

-Behave, behave!

-Have they bought well?

-I think so.

0:25:010:25:05

-Our first buy, come on!

-Oh, wonderful!

0:25:050:25:07

-That vase - that didn't cost much, did it?

-No, £4!

-£4, the vase cost.

0:25:070:25:13

-£4! So, is that your favourite lot?

-Yes.

-And yours, Ronald?

0:25:130:25:16

-I've got to agree.

-I can't believe this!

0:25:160:25:18

And what's going to make the biggest profit?

0:25:180:25:20

-Well, the vase will make the biggest profit.

-The vase!

0:25:200:25:23

Did you buy anything else? You bought two other items.

0:25:230:25:25

We did, but it's all about the vase.

0:25:250:25:27

Claudia, fill up my hands with all that dosh. There's so much of it!

0:25:270:25:31

Natasha, what are you going to do with that?

0:25:310:25:34

-I'm going to look for a real bargain.

-I want to see it all gone.

0:25:340:25:38

-I don't want to see much change.

-I'll try my best.

0:25:380:25:40

While Natasha goes off to knock a large hole in that leftover lolly,

0:25:400:25:44

we're off to the auction room.

0:25:440:25:46

We've headed south of the capital to Selsdon.

0:25:490:25:52

We've come down to the verdant pastures of Surrey,

0:25:550:25:58

where the resident auctioneer is Catherine Southon.

0:25:580:26:02

Lovely to see you, Charlie.

0:26:020:26:04

-Let's have a look at what Una and William and Thomas have bought.

-Mmm.

0:26:040:26:07

It's not much to look at but the quality's there, I think.

0:26:070:26:10

-What do you think?

-I think you're right.

0:26:100:26:12

-The first thing that I look at straightaway, the lorgnettes.

-Mmm.

0:26:120:26:17

This lorgnette is gilt metal, it's not gold.

0:26:170:26:20

-It would be lovely if it was gold.

-Wouldn't it?

0:26:200:26:22

What I particularly like about this one - it's 19th century,

0:26:220:26:25

-but look at that handle.

-It's fabulous quality, isn't it?

0:26:250:26:28

It's really beautiful.

0:26:280:26:29

Quite often, they're just simple, nothing to them,

0:26:290:26:32

but this is really beautifully decorated

0:26:320:26:34

and right at the top there, you've got that lovely scroll decoration.

0:26:340:26:38

What sort of value do you attach to them?

0:26:380:26:40

-It's only really about £30 to £50.

-That's quite all right. Paid £30.

0:26:400:26:43

-Not bad.

-They did well. What about the sauce boat?

0:26:430:26:47

It's quite simple but what's nice about it,

0:26:470:26:50

-you've got a good name on it, Charlie.

-Yes.

-You've got Harrods.

0:26:500:26:53

Harrods.

0:26:530:26:55

Once upon a time, that would have been a very expensive piece.

0:26:550:26:57

-Imagine the sort of table that that would have been on.

-Mmm.

0:26:570:27:01

-So, we've put £60 to £80 on that.

-They're just at the top end there.

0:27:010:27:04

£80 paid, so they're in with a chance, aren't they?

0:27:040:27:07

A bit of a push. We might get there.

0:27:070:27:09

Third object. I can't make up my mind about this.

0:27:090:27:12

Well, I was in exactly the same boat.

0:27:120:27:14

I saw it, I thought, "Do I like it or don't I like it?"

0:27:140:27:17

I've decided now I DO like it. It's actually rather stylish.

0:27:170:27:21

-It's very stylish.

-It's very simple, there's not a lot to it.

0:27:210:27:24

You get the impression someone's just found some odd bits

0:27:240:27:27

-and made them into that.

-I like it, you're not so sure.

0:27:270:27:30

I'm not convinced. What about estimate?

0:27:300:27:33

We've put £40 to £60 on it.

0:27:330:27:34

-Well done! £16 paid!

-I think they did all right.

0:27:340:27:39

If, by any chance, they don't have your enthusiasm for that item,

0:27:390:27:43

they always have the bonus buy up their sleeve.

0:27:430:27:46

Any idea what he might have under there?

0:27:480:27:50

-Looks like he's got nothing under there!

-Let's have a look. Thomas?

0:27:500:27:54

-So, you left me with quite a lot of money.

-Yep.

0:27:540:27:57

I didn't spend it all

0:27:570:27:59

but I bought something rather magnificent, I think,

0:27:590:28:01

which is a silver French marcasite

0:28:010:28:05

brooch-cum-pendant-cum-hanging photograph frame.

0:28:050:28:08

It's got marcasite stones which sort of simulate diamonds

0:28:080:28:12

and that's where you put a photograph

0:28:120:28:15

and you can either hang it on a wall or wear it as a brooch.

0:28:150:28:18

-But how much did you pay for it?

-That's a very good question.

0:28:180:28:22

How much do you think I paid for it? I'll give you a clue.

0:28:220:28:24

It was three figures when I saw it.

0:28:240:28:28

-£20.

-No!

-THEY LAUGH

0:28:280:28:31

-It's Bargain Hunt - bargains!

-Steady.

0:28:310:28:33

No, what am I going to do? £20!

0:28:330:28:36

In fact, it was marked at over £120, I think, something like that.

0:28:360:28:42

-I paid £90 for it.

-Er, no, no.

0:28:420:28:45

£90 is way too much money for that, I'm sorry.

0:28:450:28:49

It's very nice but, yes, £90 is a bit rich, I think.

0:28:490:28:52

I don't think anybody will buy that. Not for £90.

0:28:520:28:54

Well, it seems like Una and William aren't going to be going

0:28:540:28:57

with this bonus buy, but you never know.

0:28:570:28:59

Let's see what Miss Southon thinks about it.

0:28:590:29:01

Thomas came up with this. What do you think?

0:29:020:29:04

-We've got silver and marcasite.

-Yeah.

0:29:040:29:07

And you've got a little ring there for a pendant and then brooch here.

0:29:070:29:12

But I think, once upon a time, it was probably supposed to be

0:29:120:29:15

-in like a little holder or something.

-Yeah.

0:29:150:29:18

-But a nice, smart little piece, nonetheless.

-Value?

-£50 to £70?

0:29:180:29:22

-Yeah, £90 paid. Thomas knows his market there.

-He does.

0:29:220:29:27

So, he might be all right, although it's £90 paid.

0:29:270:29:30

Now, Ron and Claudia teamed up with Natasha and here is the result.

0:29:300:29:36

Right, OK. This trumpet vase.

0:29:360:29:39

Do you know what the good thing about it is...?

0:29:390:29:41

There can't be anything good about it!

0:29:410:29:43

No, I'm going to be positive,

0:29:430:29:45

cos you can get an awful lot of flowers in there.

0:29:450:29:48

The colour is pretty hideous, I have to say.

0:29:480:29:50

I don't even think that's straight.

0:29:500:29:52

Have you stretched to an estimate there?

0:29:520:29:53

I have, but I think I've been quite kind. £30 to £50.

0:29:530:29:58

-I think you've been bonkers!

-Yes, I think I have been very kind on that.

0:29:580:30:01

-Having said that, Natasha's quite cunning.

-Why?

-What did they pay?

0:30:010:30:05

-I don't know, what DID they pay?

-£4!

-How can you pay £4?

0:30:050:30:08

-And with you on the rostrum, frankly...

-They WILL make a profit.

0:30:080:30:11

Let's move swiftly on from that vase

0:30:110:30:13

because it doesn't really require any more description.

0:30:130:30:15

What do you think of Capodimonte?

0:30:150:30:18

Capodimonte from Naples, 18th century. It was...

0:30:180:30:22

No, but they are NOT 18th century.

0:30:220:30:24

No, but it was made to emulate Meissen.

0:30:240:30:27

-Sadly, these are not 18th century.

-No.

0:30:270:30:29

I'm going to stick my neck out and say £40 to £60.

0:30:290:30:32

-Paid £55, so they're within your estimate.

-Yeah, we're there.

0:30:320:30:35

-Someone will like them.

-Now, what about the atomiser?

0:30:350:30:38

-I mean, it's a fairly standard thing, isn't it?

-Yeah.

0:30:380:30:41

-It's sterling silver.

-Yes.

0:30:410:30:43

-What nice is there's no real chips or damage to the outside.

-No.

0:30:430:30:48

-But how many of these do you see?

-Hundreds.

-Exactly.

0:30:480:30:52

-What about an estimate on that?

-Well, £30 to £40.

0:30:520:30:55

-I mean...pretty much.

-You can't go wrong.

0:30:550:30:57

They paid £15, so that's fantastic.

0:30:570:31:01

So, profit, profit, profit.

0:31:010:31:03

Let's see if the bonus buy brings a fourth profit.

0:31:030:31:07

-Have a look.

-Are you ready?

-Yeah.

-Yes.

0:31:070:31:11

Sometimes big-value items come in small form.

0:31:110:31:15

-Wow!

-And here is a small silver hand-planished apple form pillbox.

0:31:150:31:21

I think it's really cute. It's marked "Romana" to the base.

0:31:210:31:24

For a second, I thought, "Romania, amazing!"

0:31:240:31:27

-But it's South American silver.

-Ah.

-Look at it.

-It's lovely. May I?

0:31:270:31:30

Feel free to open it up. It opens. It's a pillbox.

0:31:300:31:33

-I might have a struggle opening it but I'll have a go.

-There you go.

0:31:330:31:36

-Lovely, look at that. Wow, what do you think?

-That's beautiful!

0:31:360:31:40

-And the age?

-The age is 20th century.

0:31:400:31:42

As to exactly when in the 20th century, it's difficult to say.

0:31:420:31:45

-About MY age, Ron.

-Do you reckon?

0:31:450:31:47

-OK.

-Yeah.

-A good antique then.

-THEY LAUGH

0:31:470:31:51

-Thank you(!)

-I'm sorry about that one. Just kidding.

-It's beautiful.

0:31:510:31:55

-How much did you pay, may I ask?

-It had a huge ticket price on it.

0:31:550:31:59

I thought I didn't have a chance

0:31:590:32:01

cos I didn't want to get it in three figures and it had £150 on it.

0:32:010:32:04

-As much as that?

-Yeah.

-No!

0:32:040:32:07

But I talked our dealer into giving me a good deal

0:32:070:32:09

-and blow me down, £30.

-No!

-No!

-£30.

-Really?

-I know.

0:32:090:32:13

What will be the profit at the auction on this one, do you think?

0:32:130:32:16

I don't think it's going to be huge

0:32:160:32:17

but I'm confident there's a profit in it.

0:32:170:32:19

I think Catherine will say £40 to £60 or so

0:32:190:32:21

and I think it's got to make more than £30.

0:32:210:32:23

-Well, we'll find out, won't we?

-Yes.

0:32:230:32:25

Let's see what Miss Southon thinks of the delicious apple.

0:32:250:32:29

-Natasha has come up with this.

-I love this!

-Mmm, I'm not surprised.

0:32:300:32:35

I think this is absolutely gorgeous

0:32:350:32:38

-and the more that I look at it, the more I love it.

-Mmm.

0:32:380:32:41

It's almost good enough to eat, isn't it?

0:32:410:32:44

Look how perfectly modelled that is.

0:32:440:32:46

South American and it's beautifully hammered and it's just lovely.

0:32:460:32:51

-It is beautiful.

-Had it been English,

0:32:510:32:53

-it would be worth a fortune.

-Crikey, £300 to £500 probably,

0:32:530:32:57

-to a collector, wouldn't it?

-Yeah.

0:32:570:32:59

I think lots of people will be on that

0:32:590:33:01

because it's a novelty silver piece. It's unusual.

0:33:010:33:04

When was the last time you saw one of those?

0:33:040:33:06

-I'm not sure I've seen one like that.

-It's fab.

-Yeah. Estimate?

0:33:060:33:10

You've got a punchy estimate on this, haven't you?

0:33:100:33:12

I'm really excited! No, I haven't gone punchy.

0:33:120:33:14

I've actually put a fairly mediocre, I think, £50 to £80.

0:33:140:33:18

-But that's punchy.

-Is it?

-Paid £30.

-Oh, well.

-Ooh.

0:33:180:33:23

-She did good, that Natasha.

-Well done, Natasha!

0:33:230:33:26

Let's get straight into that auction.

0:33:260:33:28

£70. Any more at £70 then?

0:33:280:33:31

-£85? All done then, at 110.

-SHE BANGS GAVEL

0:33:310:33:36

-Una, do you go to salerooms a lot?

-Yes, I do, actually.

-Do you?

-Yes.

0:33:360:33:40

With success, buying?

0:33:400:33:42

-Er, I usually pay over the odds, get too wrapped up.

-Do you?

0:33:420:33:45

Let's hope people today are paying over the odds on YOUR lots.

0:33:450:33:48

-What about you, William?

-I quite like buying things.

-Do you?

-Yes.

0:33:480:33:52

-Cricketing things, no doubt.

-Pictures.

-Pictures.

0:33:520:33:55

-I have bought a cricket bat at auction.

-Have you?

0:33:550:33:57

-Massively overpaid for it!

-Oh, dear.

-It was a charity auction.

0:33:570:34:01

Well, that's fair enough. Anyway, your first lot

0:34:010:34:03

are the lorgnettes. Here we go.

0:34:030:34:06

Who'll give me £30 for this?

0:34:060:34:08

Thank you. £30 is bid. £30.

0:34:080:34:11

I'm giving it away. Thank you. 5. 40.

0:34:110:34:15

-Now we're going.

-Thank goodness.

0:34:150:34:16

One more? Go one. £40.

0:34:160:34:19

This lady's bid at £40.

0:34:190:34:21

£40. Do you want to go one more, madam?

0:34:210:34:25

Go on, why not? 45. 50.

0:34:250:34:29

£50. Are you sure?

0:34:290:34:31

-This is splendid!

-It's done now.

0:34:310:34:34

£50. Any more at 50 then?

0:34:340:34:36

-I'm going to sell for £50. £50.

-SHE BANGS GAVEL

0:34:360:34:41

-Superb.

-See, I told you.

-How much?

-£50.

-Profit of £20.

-There you go.

0:34:410:34:44

-You've got your sauce boat now.

-Yeah, not so happy with that.

0:34:440:34:47

With me at 25. 25. Come on.

0:34:470:34:50

Who's going to give me £30 for this?

0:34:500:34:53

Surely £30. 30. 5. 40.

0:34:530:34:56

£40 then. Lady's bid at £40.

0:34:570:35:00

-It's a lovely thing for £40.

-45.

0:35:000:35:03

45. One more? 50. 5.

0:35:030:35:07

Come on. 60. 5.

0:35:090:35:11

-No more? £65.

-Go on!

-Lady's bid at 65.

0:35:110:35:15

Go on, silver's worth £85.

0:35:150:35:19

Against you, net. £65.

0:35:190:35:22

SHE BANGS GAVEL Oh, well.

0:35:220:35:24

It's only lost £15, the sauce boat.

0:35:240:35:26

It's not too bad. Una, don't hit him!

0:35:260:35:29

-You were £20 up, so you're now just £5 up.

-Well, we're still up.

-Yeah.

0:35:290:35:34

-Whose choice was this?

-We chose it.

0:35:340:35:37

-It was a joint effort.

-The boys.

-The boys' lot.

0:35:370:35:40

Who's going to give me £30?

0:35:400:35:43

£30? £20 then? Thank you, madam. £20.

0:35:460:35:51

-We have £20. 5. Madam?

-One more, one more.

-Come on, madam, one more.

0:35:510:35:58

-£25 then is bid. 30 now.

-Ooh!

-That's more like it.

0:35:580:36:02

-I have £30 and I will sell for 30.

-This is quite good.

0:36:020:36:06

-£30 then, all done.

-SHE BANGS GAVEL

0:36:060:36:09

Profit of £14 which, added to your £5, makes £19.

0:36:090:36:14

-We made a profit.

-This is sensational.

0:36:140:36:16

-Ah, now the bonus buy.

-The bonus buy.

0:36:160:36:18

-No, no.

-The bonus buy.

-No.

-Look at her - "No!"

0:36:180:36:22

Una is absolutely adamant she's going nowhere near this one.

0:36:220:36:26

-William, what about you?

-I'm afraid she's right.

0:36:260:36:28

I'm not certain I'm going to argue the case.

0:36:280:36:30

We do have interest. We have interest. We have 45. 50.

0:36:300:36:36

With me at £50. 55, thank you. I'm out.

0:36:360:36:41

-THOMAS:

-55. Might make 60.

-CATHERINE:

-55.

0:36:410:36:43

This is a jolly nice piece. £55. 60 now.

0:36:450:36:49

5. £65 then.

0:36:490:36:52

I will sell to the gentleman seated, at £65.

0:36:520:36:56

-SHE BANGS GAVEL Well...

-£65.

0:36:560:36:58

-A shrewd decision.

-He might have gone on and paid at least...

0:36:580:37:01

Yes, he could have paid £200, of course, but we'll never know.

0:37:010:37:05

You made a profit. You can be very proud of yourselves.

0:37:050:37:08

-We could have made more.

-£19.

0:37:080:37:10

I was trying to work out how you're going to divide

0:37:100:37:13

-£19 between the two of you.

-It's very simple.

0:37:130:37:15

I have a feeling it's going to be 19-0, isn't it?

0:37:150:37:17

It might well be, yeah.

0:37:170:37:19

Anyway, not a word to the Blues

0:37:190:37:21

-because that could be a winning score and we'll find out later.

-OK.

0:37:210:37:24

One of you is a regular to the saleroom. Ron, that's you, isn't it?

0:37:300:37:34

-Yes.

-And Claudia, this is your debut?

0:37:340:37:36

-Yes, my first time at an auction.

-Don't look so nervous, darling.

0:37:360:37:38

-I'm shaking.

-Don't shake. It's going to be terribly exciting.

0:37:380:37:41

-That's why I'm holding her.

-We're starting with that vase.

-Oh, yes.

0:37:410:37:45

Your "lovely" vase, that enormous trumpet-shaped vase.

0:37:450:37:50

-Did you detect a note of sarcasm there?

-Just a hint.

0:37:500:37:52

-Not a big fan, Charlie?

-No, I've got to be honest,

0:37:520:37:56

I'm not good at lying. I think this vase is ordinary.

0:37:560:38:01

-As good as that?

-But it only cost £4.

0:38:010:38:05

£20. Come on, who's going to give me £20 for this?

0:38:050:38:09

£20 is bid. There's a man who knows his vases.

0:38:090:38:13

£20. £20, thank you, sir.

0:38:130:38:17

£20. Any more? At £20 surely. No more? Are you sure?

0:38:170:38:22

-You can get a lot of flowers in there. £20 then.

-One more.

-£20.

0:38:220:38:27

-You may regret it. £20.

-SHE BANGS GAVEL

0:38:270:38:30

-Hooray!

-Happy days!

0:38:300:38:32

You've made a profit of £16.

0:38:320:38:36

Now, the next lot, the Capodimonte porcelain salts and covers.

0:38:360:38:41

£40.

0:38:410:38:42

£30 then?

0:38:440:38:45

£20. £20 is bid, thank you.

0:38:460:38:51

£20. £20. I will sell at 20 then.

0:38:510:38:55

£20.

0:38:550:38:56

-Yes! £25.

-Let's go for it! Yes!

0:38:560:39:00

-Now we're taking off.

-£30 then. I will sell at £30.

0:39:000:39:05

-£30.

-SHE BANGS GAVEL

0:39:050:39:07

-Going under! Oh, no!

-You've lost £25 there.

0:39:070:39:11

-You're now minus £9.

-Oh...

-Oh my!

0:39:110:39:16

But there's a chance here with the atomiser.

0:39:160:39:18

That's got to be worth £30 of anyone's money.

0:39:180:39:21

£30? Come on, ladies. £30? Thank you.

0:39:210:39:25

5. £35 with you. 40.

0:39:250:39:28

5.

0:39:280:39:30

Do you want to bid 50, madam? No? £45, I have in the room, at 45.

0:39:300:39:36

45. Any more? At 45 then. No, ladies?

0:39:360:39:40

Smells good to us!

0:39:400:39:43

-Sell for 45.

-Yes!

-SHE BANGS GAVEL

0:39:430:39:45

-Well done!

-That is a profit of £30.

0:39:450:39:50

Take the £9 off,

0:39:500:39:53

-you're already up £21.

-£21.

-Into the door!

-Fantastic!

0:39:530:39:57

-So, are we going with the apple?

-Yes, we're going to go for it.

0:39:570:40:01

-Oh, thank you.

-Sorry, dear.

-I like a good discussion.

-Yeah.

0:40:010:40:07

-So, you're going to go with it?

-Yes.

-100%.

-100%.

-100%.

0:40:070:40:11

This is a really nice thing -

0:40:110:40:13

an unusual hammered silver novelty pillbox in the form of an apple.

0:40:130:40:16

Really sweet. Nice quality, this. Come on, £40 I'd like.

0:40:160:40:22

-It's bid.

-Straight in!

-£40.

0:40:220:40:26

£40. There must be someone else. £40.

0:40:260:40:30

This is a jolly nice piece.

0:40:300:40:32

45. 50.

0:40:320:40:35

Come on, madam. Don't lose it! Come on!

0:40:350:40:40

-NATASHA:

-She's so good!

0:40:400:40:41

We've got 50. £50.

0:40:410:40:44

Any more at 50 then? £50.

0:40:440:40:48

I thought you'd all go crazy over this. £50. See, she is now. 55. 60.

0:40:480:40:53

No? £60 then. Gentleman's bid at £60.

0:40:530:40:56

-£60.

-SHE BANGS GAVEL

0:40:560:40:59

-ALL:

-Yes!

-Group hug, I think. Group hug! Well done!

0:40:590:41:03

Well, it is my immense joy to announce to you

0:41:030:41:07

that you have made a profit of £51 on Bargain Hunt.

0:41:070:41:11

That's the beers sorted out for tonight.

0:41:110:41:14

-Now, not a word to the Reds who, of course, may have made £151.

-Sure.

0:41:140:41:17

-Or may have lost a lot. Who knows?

-OK.

-Zippo until later.

-Shtum.

0:41:170:41:22

-Thank you.

-Happy days. Yeah!

0:41:220:41:25

This has been a fantastic competition.

0:41:310:41:34

It's been nip and tuck all the way and we don't have a loser

0:41:340:41:39

-because you both made money! Isn't that exciting?

-Yes!

0:41:390:41:43

-One team has made more money than the other.

-OK.

0:41:430:41:47

And I have to say, the runners-up this time

0:41:470:41:50

are for the Red team, Una and William.

0:41:500:41:54

-Oh!

-Oh!

-But you still made £19!

-Very good.

0:41:540:41:58

And I think your coup de grace, really,

0:41:580:42:01

-was not going with your bonus buy.

-Thank you(!) Thank you, everybody(!)

0:42:010:42:06

That photograph frame pendant.

0:42:060:42:07

You were very keen not to go with that, weren't you? Una, £15 for you.

0:42:070:42:12

-Thank you.

-Shall we give William the £4?

0:42:120:42:16

-No, no, let's give William the £4.

-Thank you very much.

0:42:160:42:19

THEY LAUGH

0:42:190:42:21

But of course, today's winners are the Blue team.

0:42:210:42:24

Ron and Claudia, you had a tremendous success, didn't you?

0:42:240:42:27

You only had one loss in all.

0:42:270:42:29

The genius was to go with that wonderful apple.

0:42:290:42:32

-It made £60, which, of course, took you up to £51.

-Yes!

-£51 they made.

0:42:320:42:38

-That's a fistful in Bargain Hunting terms!

-Ah, look at this cash!

0:42:380:42:42

In fact, I can only just fit it in my pocket, there's so much money!

0:42:420:42:47

-Look, £50.

-Yes.

-And...

0:42:470:42:49

-And £1 for Natasha.

-No, that's probably for you, Ron.

0:42:490:42:52

-There we go.

-Thank you very much.

0:42:520:42:55

-Well done, everyone.

-Brilliant. Thanks ever so much.
