0:00:05 > 0:00:09I'm sat in Exeter's Royal Clarence hotel.
0:00:09 > 0:00:14Built in 1769, it's credited as the first hotel built in England.
0:00:15 > 0:00:20Rumour has it it's also haunted by the ghost of Sir Walter Raleigh.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Well, before I get spooked,
0:00:22 > 0:00:25let's head across the city to the Westpoint Arena
0:00:25 > 0:00:27where an antiques fair awaits.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Come on, let's go Bargain Hunting.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Our teams have one hour to explore the fair today,
0:01:00 > 0:01:03and with £300 each, they need to find three items
0:01:03 > 0:01:05that will hopefully make a profit at auction.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07So let's take a look at what's in store.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- Mwah!- Oh...- On today's show, Charlie's a lucky man.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Ooh, I say. That's fantastic.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Gary's an impressed man.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21And I thought you guys were going to be difficult.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25But at the auction, which team makes an impression?
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- Yes!- Reds...- Yes!
0:01:28 > 0:01:31- ..or Blues? - Come on, come on everybody.
0:01:31 > 0:01:36Before all that, let's meet today's teams who comprise families.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39For the Reds, we've got dad Sean and daughter Rosie,
0:01:39 > 0:01:42and for the Blues, we've got mum Helen and son George.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44- Hello.- Hello!- Hello!
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Well, look, Rosie,
0:01:46 > 0:01:49tell me, in the most heart-melting of terms, why you have picked
0:01:49 > 0:01:52your dad for your buddy for Bargain Hunting today.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Well, I'm a massive daddy's girl.
0:01:54 > 0:01:55We're very close.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57We're like best friends and we regularly get up
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- on a Sunday morning to go to car-boot sales.- Ah-hah.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02So we're very well practised.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04We're very good at this already.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08I'm sensing a certain confidence in our skills.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Yeah, a little bit.
0:02:10 > 0:02:11And I believe - a wee birdie tells me -
0:02:11 > 0:02:13there's a certain amount of evidence apparent
0:02:13 > 0:02:15- that you've pet names for one another.- Yeah.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Originally, it started with Papa Bear
0:02:17 > 0:02:20so I've now become Baby Bear.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- You do that like Superman. - Yeah, like...
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Now, tell me, what do you do for a living?
0:02:26 > 0:02:30I work in IT as a risk manager, so it's a bit sad, really.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32You're the bringer of doom and misery to many a business.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Yeah, totally, totally, yeah.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35However good they think it is,
0:02:35 > 0:02:38I come along and spoil it for them, so...
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Now, Rosie, you, I believe, are an insurance broker.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Yes, so when he tells them that they're doing it wrong,
0:02:42 > 0:02:45I insure them for when that happens.
0:02:45 > 0:02:46I see.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49A reciprocal commission arrangement, I take it?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Yeah, it kind of works out.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Tell me, have you got tactics?
0:02:53 > 0:02:54Yeah, spend the money, all of it,
0:02:54 > 0:02:58leave the expert with as little as possible
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- and just go for it, you know. - Quality.- Yeah, quality and profit.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04The way you say that.
0:03:04 > 0:03:05Blood runs cold.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09Quite a team, but that may be the Reds,
0:03:09 > 0:03:13over to the Blues with, I'm sure, an equally impressive team.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14Mum Helen,
0:03:14 > 0:03:18tell me why you've picked your son to be your Bargain Hunting buddy.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Well, George is one of my best friends.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22We get on really, really well.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24We're very alike, me and George, aren't we?
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- I'm a good hunter.- OK. - He's fantastic at bargaining.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29- Like the sound of this. - Good teamwork.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31And do you go shopping together, obviously,
0:03:31 > 0:03:33your little scouting forays?
0:03:33 > 0:03:34- Yeah, we do. We do.- Yeah.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36George has got a good, keen eye, as well, for a bit of quality.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- OK.- He likes a high-quality watch and things like that, so...
0:03:40 > 0:03:43So, tell me about your motivation for appearing on Bargain Hunt.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Oh, I've always wanted to go on Bargain Hunt.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47In fact, it's on my bucket list.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49- I've got to say... - I've always wanted to do it.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51You should all add being on Bargain Hunt to your bucket list,
0:03:51 > 0:03:53- should you not?- Absolutely.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- Such good fun.- I like your style.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58- Can't wait.- Now, tell me, what do you do for a living?
0:03:58 > 0:04:01I'm a weight-loss leader.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04- I run weight-loss classes.- Mm-hmm.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06George, what do you do for a living?
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Well, I work for a national automotive parts factor,
0:04:09 > 0:04:10so we supply to garages,
0:04:10 > 0:04:14- independent, you know, manufacturers all over Devon, so, yeah.- OK.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- It's good.- Now, the pair of you,
0:04:17 > 0:04:19how are you going to play this game today?
0:04:19 > 0:04:21I mean, we get the spotting and the haggling,
0:04:21 > 0:04:22but what are you looking for?
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Are you spending high? Spending low? How are you doing it?
0:04:25 > 0:04:27George is going to keep his eye out for quality
0:04:27 > 0:04:29- and I'm just going to spend.- Yeah.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30It's getting hot in here.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Your experts are going to have nothing left.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34The pair of you, what are you like?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Well, look, I need to prime you.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37If you're going to blow it,
0:04:37 > 0:04:40I'm going to have to give you it in the first place. £300, Reds.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42- Thank you.- Yeah.
0:04:42 > 0:04:43And another £300.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47- Awesome.- Superb.- Off you go, and do your best.
0:04:47 > 0:04:48Thank you.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Holey moley, this could be a scorcher.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Well, what do you think? Checkmate for the Reds
0:04:54 > 0:04:57or will the Blues race first to the finishing line?
0:04:57 > 0:04:58Wait and see.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02So, let's meet today's experts.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Will everything come up roses for the Reds with Charlie Ross?
0:05:07 > 0:05:09And will Gary Pe help the Blues
0:05:09 > 0:05:12bring home a profit?
0:05:12 > 0:05:14I don't think I've ever shopped with two bears before,
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Papa Bear and Baby Bear.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18What are you looking for, Baby Bear?
0:05:18 > 0:05:23I'm looking for something vintage-y, girlie, maybe a little bit quirky,
0:05:23 > 0:05:24a bit like me.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- Helen, George, what are we looking for today?- Gary.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Well, we're looking for some good-quality pieces.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- Such as?- Jewellery, gold, silver.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35- Anything we think could make a profit at auction.- Yeah.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- What about you, Dad?- Chess set.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- Yeah.- A naked bronze...
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- A naked bronze?- ..from the 1930s.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42From the 1930s.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44You'll find plenty of those here -
0:05:44 > 0:05:47whether they'll be within your budget, only time will tell.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Action, teams.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Your 60 minutes start now. BELL CHIMES
0:05:54 > 0:05:56One hour. Off we go.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57- OK.- Come on.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Right, teams. Go ahead and spend that money.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- I'm not keen on those things. - GARY LAUGHS
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- Anything you need to polish, I don't like.- No.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10It's very, like, modern but chic, isn't it?
0:06:10 > 0:06:12- It is quite chic.- It's shabby chic.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Yeah, oh, shabby. She's got all the words.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Now, what have the Blues spotted?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20That looks like my husband without a beard.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Let's have a look at it. It's Beswick.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Yeah, I like my husband, but I don't like that.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28I think there's a compliment in there somewhere.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36So have the Reds stumbled across something saucy?
0:06:36 > 0:06:37There's a naked lady for you.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- Isn't she...?- Indeed, but look at the price - £425.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- Yes.- Out of our range, really, so I need a cheaper woman.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44And she's not bronze.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45- You need a cheaper woman. - A cheaper woman.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48He's looking for a cheaper woman and probably one in bronze.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- Yes.- Yes.- Look, there we are. There's a flying lady.- That's nice.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Coming down within your price range,
0:06:53 > 0:06:55isn't that wonderful? The Spirit of Ecstasy,
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- which you see on the front of a Rolls-Royce.- £195.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- Yes, I know.- Yeah. You know that. - Shall we keep this in mind, then?
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Well, you never know what he might do it for you, you see.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Yeah. What's the lowest price you can do for this, then?
0:07:05 > 0:07:07It's got 195 on it.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08195.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11I could... I could do that for 160.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13- I like that.- You do, don't you?
0:07:13 > 0:07:15But we've only been here five minutes, so shall we come back?
0:07:15 > 0:07:18You have. Would that look good on the front of your car?
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Possibly. Yeah.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- Well, think about it.- Come back. - Yeah, I'll come back.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- I do like it.- It's here. Plenty of time.- Great.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26- Thank you.- Ticked my boxes, thank you very much.- Yeah.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29So, one glamorous lady on hold.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Now, jewellery was on the Blues' wish list.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- Watches.- Watches. - Is that your thing?
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- Yeah.- Oh, right.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38A little bit out of the price range, I believe, by looking at those.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- But they're lovely, though, aren't they?- Mid-400s,
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- so very nice, but... - Could I have a look at the gold one?
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Yeah, fine.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46Well, let's have a look at this.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- Pretty, isn't it? - It's obviously gold-rolled.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51It's an Elgin, a well-known maker.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- Well, there's good detailing, especially to the face.- Yeah.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57It's got a little bit of damage to it.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- To the glass.- Right.- Yeah.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Well, of course, glass can always be replaced.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02- Yep.- But...
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- It's good. - How much are you looking for?
0:08:04 > 0:08:07£70.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09- That's a start-off price, is it? - Yeah...
0:08:09 > 0:08:13Ha! Oh, that means there's a bit of room.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15- Yeah. - So, what are we thinking, team?
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Well, I reckon at auction,
0:08:17 > 0:08:20you might get £50 for it, so would you take 40?
0:08:22 > 0:08:24I'll take 45.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- 45?- What do we reckon, team?
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- He drives a hard bargain, doesn't he?- He does indeed.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31Erm...
0:08:31 > 0:08:34That means if we get 50 for it at the auction,
0:08:34 > 0:08:36that's only £5 profit.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Mum's clearly taking charge here.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40George, you're not getting a look in.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41OK, 45.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- Honestly.- Excellent.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46My God, that was a quick one.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48So the Blues have wasted no time.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51That's the first buy with just seven minutes on the clock.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Impressed.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56But I thought he was the bargainer...he was the bargainer?
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- She took control of the situation. - Well, a bit of both, bit of both.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01There's still plenty of time for George to show us
0:09:01 > 0:09:03his bargaining skills, Gary.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Now, are the Reds pinching the Blues' tactics
0:09:05 > 0:09:06and looking at silver?
0:09:06 > 0:09:10- Look at that. Some very nice silver here.- Oh, I like that.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Would you like any silver, Papa Bear?
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- I like the mirror there. - That mirror's lovely, isn't it?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- Have you seen that, Rosie? - Which mirror?
0:09:18 > 0:09:19- Look at that mirror. - Oh, that's so pretty.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Is that fabulous or is that fabulous?
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- Oh, it's deliciously heavy. - Yeah.- Oh, gosh, that's gorgeous.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Oh, it's wonderful. Now, that's Continental.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29It's got a lovely Pan playing his pipe.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31- Little cherubs.- You've got a couple of little cherubs.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34The mirror's in good condition and I have to say, Rosie,
0:09:34 > 0:09:35you look absolutely gorgeous.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- Oh, thank you. - I think it looks better over here.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40- It looks very good. Thank you, Papa.- Yeah, yeah.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Thank you, Papa. Here we are,
0:09:42 > 0:09:46"French silver hand mirror, import marks for Thomas Glasser, 1890."
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Victorian. It's extremely functional.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Yeah.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53It's in good condition.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56What was the price, there?
0:09:56 > 0:09:58It's £175.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- Oh, right.- Right.- So, it's up there with the bronze, then.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03It's very similar to your bronze in terms of price.
0:10:03 > 0:10:08- Yeah.- I would think an auctioneer would estimate that at 100 to 150
0:10:08 > 0:10:10or something like that, sort of,
0:10:10 > 0:10:12so it's not a million miles out.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15My, sort of, gut reaction is, if you could buy that for 100 quid,
0:10:15 > 0:10:17all day long, I would say snatch the hand off,
0:10:17 > 0:10:20and for every tenner it goes above that, you'll just have to think
0:10:20 > 0:10:22- how much you like it. - We're losing another...
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- Right.- OK?- OK.- Goodbye. - Bye. OK.- Goodbye.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26Have a nice time.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Well, the Reds seem to like it.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Let's hope Charlie can get a good price.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33I like that more than I like the bronze.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35- Do you?- Yes.- Right.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38I think it suits you and whatever, so I think that we should.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Well, I don't like the bronze.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44- You don't like the bronze. - So, I would rather go with this.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Oh, dear. You'd better work your magic, then, Charlie.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Now, what have the Blues spotted?
0:10:50 > 0:10:52That looks like a Worcester pot.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55It's 110.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57There is a Worcester vase at the top, there, for £60.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59It's very light.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03- This is better than that because this has an animal in it.- Yeah?
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- OK.- A bird. - And they're more collectable?
0:11:05 > 0:11:10They are certainly more collectable and the market is far more buoyant
0:11:10 > 0:11:14with animals on them than the floral Worcesters.
0:11:14 > 0:11:20I can almost forgive the fact that it has no artist's signature
0:11:20 > 0:11:24because anything by Worcester with animals on it,
0:11:24 > 0:11:26hand-painted with this kind of gilding...
0:11:28 > 0:11:31I've seen pieces of this size,
0:11:31 > 0:11:32of this quality,
0:11:32 > 0:11:36go for very good sums of money.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38- Yeah, ideal. - And considering that it's...
0:11:38 > 0:11:40- How much was it?- £110.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42- £110.- £110. - That's what they want for it.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44It's not necessarily what they're going to get.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46It's not what they're going to get.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- Well, I think we should have a go at this.- Superb.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Helen's determined to get that price down.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54George, it's your turn to show us your haggling skills.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56We know it's up for £110.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- Yep.- How would you take 70?
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Oh, I think we paid more than that to buy it.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03OK.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05We can do it for 100, certainly.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- Right, OK. Right.- Is that...?
0:12:07 > 0:12:09It's still a little bit out of our price range.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12A little bit just in case it, sort of, sells for 100
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- so at least we could have a bit of profit.- Yeah.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18- DEALER:- I can't go below 95. 95.
0:12:18 > 0:12:19Below that makes no sense to us.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21- OK.- No, that's true.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22- How about...?- 92.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25No, 95 is that. It's what it is.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27- What do you reckon, guys? - I think that's fair.- Yeah.- OK.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29- I think, yes.- Got a deal.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33Well done. Mother and son got £15 off the asking price
0:12:33 > 0:12:35and that's two items bought in 15 minutes.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37I'm mightily impressed.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40- Gosh, Jesus.- We like shopping, don't we, George?- We do indeed.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43And I thought you guys were going to be difficult.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Back to the Reds, and Charlie,
0:12:45 > 0:12:50did you get a good deal on that mirror priced at £175?
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- It's 130.- 130.- OK. - It's 130, OK.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57- I think, to be fair, the gentleman went to his price straightaway. - I think we should go for it.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59- You know, and that was no...- Right.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01I think we should go for it cos that should be...
0:13:01 > 0:13:02- I think that's good.- Done.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- We're over the moon here. - Yeah.- Well done.- Thank you.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- Well done, madam.- Thank you. - May I kiss your daughter, sir?
0:13:07 > 0:13:09- You can indeed.- Marvellous. - I think I should kiss you.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11So do I.
0:13:11 > 0:13:12Mwah!
0:13:12 > 0:13:14CHARLIE SIGHS
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Oh, I say. That's fantastic.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Oh, let's go and do some more shopping.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23That's definitely your colour, Charlie.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26So, that's the Reds' first item, with 20 minutes on the clock,
0:13:26 > 0:13:29and whilst the teams carry on with the shopping,
0:13:29 > 0:13:32I'm keeping a close eye on the time.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Take a look at this watch on my wrist, here.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45This is an Omega Speedmaster,
0:13:45 > 0:13:49a watch that's being in production over 60 years now,
0:13:49 > 0:13:54made famous because it's the only watch certified by Nasa
0:13:54 > 0:13:56for use in manned space missions,
0:13:56 > 0:14:00and indeed, it was worn on the moon.
0:14:00 > 0:14:06Now, compare and contrast with this rather diminutive Omega
0:14:06 > 0:14:10which is less the little brother of the moon watch
0:14:10 > 0:14:14and more its grandad.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Because while the moon watch was being worn by astronauts
0:14:17 > 0:14:19in the 1960s,
0:14:19 > 0:14:23this little Omega here was being worn by RAF pilots
0:14:23 > 0:14:28during the Battle of Britain in the air war over Europe and beyond.
0:14:28 > 0:14:33This is an Air Ministry Mark 7A chronometer.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38Manufactured by Omega with a chronometer -
0:14:38 > 0:14:40a high-precision movement -
0:14:40 > 0:14:46what I want to discuss with you is actually this rotating bezel,
0:14:46 > 0:14:49which has, as you can see, a 60-second chapter.
0:14:49 > 0:14:55Now, I'll wager a goodly number of you own relatively modern watches
0:14:55 > 0:15:01with just such a rotating bezel, likewise with a second chapter.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05And I'll also wager few of you have stopped to ask the question,
0:15:05 > 0:15:09what's it for and why is it there?
0:15:09 > 0:15:14Well, let me take you back to 1935, when an officer in the US Navy
0:15:14 > 0:15:20by the name of Weems obtained a patent that solved this problem of
0:15:20 > 0:15:22second synchronisation,
0:15:22 > 0:15:27and he did it by means of the rotating bezel.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Now, in the pre-flight briefing,
0:15:30 > 0:15:35your commanding officer would instruct all parties present
0:15:35 > 0:15:40to track our second-hand with the bezel precisely at the 60 seconds
0:15:40 > 0:15:42or 12 o'clock mark.
0:15:42 > 0:15:47And he would say, "All right, chaps, on my mark, synchronise."
0:15:47 > 0:15:51And at that point, we would all stop rotating and lock the bezel.
0:15:51 > 0:15:56From now on, all of our respective watches' seconds hands
0:15:56 > 0:15:59will pass the 60 second or 12 o'clock mark
0:15:59 > 0:16:01at precisely the same point in time,
0:16:01 > 0:16:05thus synchronising our watches down to the second.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06Now, these watches,
0:16:06 > 0:16:10because of their novelty and because of their history and indeed,
0:16:10 > 0:16:14the romance of flight, are today highly coveted and rather valuable.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18I was lucky enough to pick up this example a good few years ago now,
0:16:18 > 0:16:20for just over £100.
0:16:20 > 0:16:26In the interim period, prices - no pun intended - have taken off.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28And today, even in a general auction,
0:16:28 > 0:16:34I would expect this little beauty to fly and fetch over £1,000.
0:16:34 > 0:16:39So, it just goes to show you that time, after all, is precious.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50Back to the shopping.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53We are 30 minutes down and it's 2-1 to the Blues.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55So, Gary, how's it going?
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Actually, I'm pleasantly surprised,
0:16:57 > 0:17:02so I think that that Charlie Ross is going to be in deep trouble.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Fighting talk, Gary.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06So, what's the next move for the Reds?
0:17:06 > 0:17:08- There's no...- Tooled leather.- Yeah.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10- There's no chess set. - There's no chess set.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11It's not very good.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Our chess-board collector isn't impressed.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Back to the Blues.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17There's another jug that looks like my husband.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- Now, who? - Another husband? With a beard?
0:17:19 > 0:17:21That one's more like him cos it's got the beard.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Ah, but you still don't like it?
0:17:23 > 0:17:27I like it, but I don't think that'll make as much money in auction.
0:17:27 > 0:17:28Move on, then, Blues.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32Now, do you remember what was on the Reds' - well, Sean's wish list?
0:17:32 > 0:17:35- Naked woman. - ROSIE LAUGHS
0:17:35 > 0:17:36No, I don't think she's naked, is she?
0:17:36 > 0:17:38- She's got clothes on, Dad. - Oh, clothes again.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Oh, now, she's lovely.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- You like her, don't you? - I love her.- Yeah.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46- Do you know? I have a... - She is gorgeous.
0:17:46 > 0:17:47She is gorgeous.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50I'm not sure she's going to be in your price range.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53No, she looks quite expensive.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55- No, we've just got a code on there, you see.- Oh, right.- Oh, dear.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58- Do you want me to just ask? - Yes, that would be nice.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00I don't think it's in your price range, but I will ask.
0:18:00 > 0:18:01But it is very lovely.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03There's a trend here with the Reds and expensive items.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07- It's £200, which is just not going to do it.- I think that's too much.
0:18:07 > 0:18:08- Yeah.- No, no...
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Find something cheaper, then, Reds.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13In the meantime,
0:18:13 > 0:18:16have the Blues found something right up Helen's street?
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Is this the sort of thing you were looking for, Mum?
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Yeah, I love Cornishware.
0:18:20 > 0:18:25Well, the important thing about Cornishware made by TG Green,
0:18:25 > 0:18:27- is the mark.- Yeah. Yeah.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Cos that is the old mark.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33- That's the old mark.- That's right, cos they're still made today.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37The good thing about it is that it's in superb condition.
0:18:37 > 0:18:38- It is.- Isn't it?
0:18:38 > 0:18:40- Yeah.- Yeah. And you've got how many?
0:18:40 > 0:18:41- Four.- Four bowls?- Yeah.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Well, that's more marketable than, certainly, a single piece.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Should we have a chat to the stallholder?
0:18:46 > 0:18:50- I think we should.- I am in love with your Cornishware, I've got to say.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52However, we've not got a lot of money left, have we, guys?
0:18:52 > 0:18:54No.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57But I am interested in four of your bowls, not just one piece.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58All four.
0:18:58 > 0:19:03And I know they're all £18, but what could you do me your four for?
0:19:03 > 0:19:05- 55 on the four.- Oh, she is good.
0:19:05 > 0:19:0655.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- She's an absolute pro, isn't she? - Yeah.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13Would you go under 50? 48? For four bowls.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15- Yeah, go on.- Oh, you're a star.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17- Thank you, my dear.- Oh!
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Hats off to you, Blues. Job done.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22All three items bought in under 35 minutes.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25- What a team.- Success! - Charlie Roscoe is in trouble.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27- Come on, let's go and get a cup of tea.- Let's have a cuppa.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Time will tell, Gary, but you might be right,
0:19:30 > 0:19:33as the Reds have only bought one item and there's 25 minutes left.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35MUSIC: Teddy Bears' Picnic by John Walter Bratton
0:19:35 > 0:19:39Now, I wondered how long it would take the Reds to track down a bear.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41- This one is £45.- A bear!
0:19:41 > 0:19:43- Oh, no. This is a theme, isn't it? - Hello, bear!
0:19:43 > 0:19:45It's a modern bear.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Good designer.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- Look at his little face. - Oh, you're just a...
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Long snout, what do we look for?
0:19:52 > 0:19:54We look for a long snout and a humpback.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56- Right.- Aw... - Got a bit of a humpback...
0:19:56 > 0:19:58- I have.- ..and we've got a long snout.- I have, I have.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00- Hang on, hang on. - I've got a long nose.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04That's remarkable. I won't get cross with you if you have to buy a bear,
0:20:04 > 0:20:08but it won't come with the C Ross tick of guaranteed profit.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10- No.- But, you know... But on the other hand...
0:20:10 > 0:20:12- I think the theme is what we like. - That's what you want.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14You want to buy something you love.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16And I think I would buy it at auction.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18- You would.- If I was at an auction and I saw him, I would...
0:20:18 > 0:20:20How much would you pay for him?
0:20:20 > 0:20:22- Well, I don't know. - That's the key.- £20-£30?
0:20:22 > 0:20:24I'd pay about 50. I think he's lovely.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26- Oh, good Lord, did you hear that? - That's what I'd pay.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28- Do you want me to ask the lady? - Yes, please.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30- I'd love to know how much. - Best price on that one.
0:20:30 > 0:20:31Hold on to your bear.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Go and find the best price for Teddy, then, Roscoe.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35- Baby Bear...- ..and Papa Bear...
0:20:35 > 0:20:37..and their baby bear.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Something tells me Charlie's done a deal.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Marvellous. 25 quid.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42- Yay.- 25 quid.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44So Teddy is item number two for the Reds.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Put him down. We've got more shopping to do, haven't we, Dad?
0:20:47 > 0:20:50You certainly have, and under 25 minutes to find your final item.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Now, Roscoe, are you enjoying yourself?
0:20:53 > 0:20:57It's interesting how these Bargain Hunts pan out really, isn't it?
0:20:57 > 0:21:00You set off with a team who are only going to buy Art Deco.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Art Deco, Art Deco, Art Deco...
0:21:02 > 0:21:06They buy a bit of high Victoriana and follow it up with
0:21:06 > 0:21:09a modern teddy bear. There is no Deco there.
0:21:09 > 0:21:10We've got 20 minutes left.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Let's buy a bit of Deco.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Best laid plans usually go out the window on Bargain Hunt.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22ROSIE GASPS Ooh!
0:21:22 > 0:21:24That's a real Deco ice bucket.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Chromium-plated and wonderfully Deco, I think.
0:21:29 > 0:21:30But you don't like it, do you?
0:21:30 > 0:21:32No, I can tell you don't.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35I think it's nice, but I just don't think it's got very, like, wow.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38So it's £48 there on top.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40- Could we have it for 30 quid? - Can we?- Yeah?
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Do you like it?
0:21:42 > 0:21:43- Yeah.- I think cos it's Art Deco,
0:21:43 > 0:21:46then we've got a chance of making some money if it's at £30.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48- I don't think it's a lot of money at 30 quid.- No.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- No, I think for that, it's good. - Do you think we can get it down?
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Well, I tell you what, if you get to 59 minutes,
0:21:53 > 0:21:55I can get down here and buy this for 30 quid.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57- Sounds good.- Are you happy with that?- Yes.- Yeah, that's fine.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Sounds like a plan, and with less than ten minutes left,
0:22:00 > 0:22:01the Blues are taking it easy.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04- Yeah.- We've definitely got some good profit-makers.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06I think we were quick, but we've done well.
0:22:06 > 0:22:07- But I think we'll win.- Yeah.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09- Will we?- Yeah.- Absolutely. - Here's to a good day's work.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11- Cheers, everyone.- Cheers, Blues.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15Now, Reds, this Art Nouveau tin looks expensive and time's ticking.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17We've only got five minutes left, so it's this...
0:22:17 > 0:22:19I think the Deco thing's nicer.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21- You think it's nicer.- Yeah.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Give us the price, then, Roscoe.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24- It's a couple of hundred pounds. - Oh, no.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27And I'm not surprised - it's the most beautiful object.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Well, Rosie now has decided she likes the Art Deco.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32- I think we should go back to the Art Deco.- She's warming to it now.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33You're warming to an ice bucket.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35- An ice bucket.- She is. - Funny that, isn't it?
0:22:35 > 0:22:39Well, it's a good job as, yet again, the cigarette tin is too expensive.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Time for a mad dash, Charlie.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50- Ta-da!- Ta-da!
0:22:50 > 0:22:52- Be it on my head.- £30?
0:22:52 > 0:22:55I tried it at 25 and they told me to get lost, so...
0:22:55 > 0:22:56- Oh, right, £30.- £30 it is, then.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58BELL CHIMES
0:22:58 > 0:23:00That's it. Time's up.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Ta-da.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09First up, the Reds bought this silver mirror for £130,
0:23:09 > 0:23:12but will it reflect a profit at auction?
0:23:12 > 0:23:15It came as no surprise when the bear-loving Reds
0:23:15 > 0:23:18bought this teddy for £25.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20And with just seconds to spare,
0:23:20 > 0:23:23they bought this ice bucket for a cool £30.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30Rosie, Sean, 47 seconds.
0:23:30 > 0:23:31What?
0:23:31 > 0:23:33- LAUGHTER - She left it to the last minute,
0:23:33 > 0:23:36- but never mind.- Now, tell me, your favourite lot -
0:23:36 > 0:23:38is it the obvious one or are you going to surprise me?
0:23:38 > 0:23:40- Obviously, mine is the bear.- OK.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Is it obviously the most profitable,
0:23:42 > 0:23:44or is something else going to take that?
0:23:44 > 0:23:46I think it will be because it was the cheapest
0:23:46 > 0:23:48and also, if anybody loves it as much as I did,
0:23:48 > 0:23:50then they'll want it just as much as I do.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Dad, do you agree? Your favourite lot?
0:23:52 > 0:23:56I think it has to be the mirror, especially when I'm holding it.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00The image was very good on it, so I like that, so...
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Where is the profit lying, in your opinion?
0:24:02 > 0:24:04I think the bear's going to come in and do it.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06- Really?- I think the bear's going to come with the profit.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08- I think, yeah. - There's bears all round.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10We're bearish about the bear.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12We are calling it Charlie Bear.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15- It is Charlie Bear. - Aw, look at that. Aw...
0:24:15 > 0:24:17What was the total spent on the three?
0:24:17 > 0:24:18£185.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22- So, it's healthy money, so someone's got £115 change.- Yes.
0:24:22 > 0:24:23I do indeed.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Very good, thanking you.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Now, I won't hold it for very long.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Charlie Bear, as I will for ever think of you,
0:24:30 > 0:24:33- what are you going to do with £115? - Thank you so much.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36I can tell you I'm not going to buy a stuffed animal.
0:24:36 > 0:24:37Anything else.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Well, that's with the Reds.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Let's go see what the Blues got up to.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46First up, the Blues didn't waste any time purchasing
0:24:46 > 0:24:48this pocket watch for £45.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53Next up, will the bird on this Royal Worcester vase make the profits fly?
0:24:53 > 0:24:55£95 paid.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57And finally, Helen's a fan of Cornishware,
0:24:57 > 0:24:59and she bought four bowls for £48.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03I've got to say,
0:25:03 > 0:25:06well, I like Cornishware, but I've not got any so far.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07It's definitely my best buy.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11Will it be your most profitable, or is that something else?
0:25:11 > 0:25:12I'd say it is. It would be, yes.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15- OK.- Yeah.- So, it's all about the Cornishware.- Yeah.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18George, do you concur? Your favourite lot first.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21I do like the Cornishware, but I think the Worcester vase,
0:25:21 > 0:25:24- the pot that we got, definitely, yeah.- OK, yeah.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Where does the profit lie, though?
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Hard to say. Maybe in the Cornishware.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Or maybe in the Worcester.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34- We're not sure about our third purchase, our watch.- Oh.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Now, what did the three items cost?
0:25:36 > 0:25:37£188.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- OK, healthy spend, so you've got £112 there for me.- Yeah.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43- Quite a bit left, yeah. - Thank you kindly.- There you go.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47- Gary, 112, that gives you some options.- Mmm.
0:25:47 > 0:25:53All I'm saying is that George here has been such a good son today,
0:25:53 > 0:25:58that I thought I'd go and try to find something that he likes.
0:25:58 > 0:25:59Well, absolutely fantastic.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03I cannot wait to get to the auction and that is where we're going now.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17Here we are at Ottery Auction Rooms, with auctioneer David Sumner.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19- How are you, David? - Very well. And welcome.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Good, thank you very much.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Not, let's take a look at the Reds' purchases.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28Kicking off with this rather opulent-looking silver hand mirror,
0:26:28 > 0:26:30do you like it?
0:26:30 > 0:26:31I do. It's good quality.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34It's French. There's a lot of work in it.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36A nice dressing-table piece.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Our estimate - a cautious £50-£60.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42They paid £130 for the mirror.
0:26:42 > 0:26:43I get the quality of it.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46I like lots about it, but, at the end of the day,
0:26:46 > 0:26:47it is a solitary hand mirror.
0:26:47 > 0:26:52Inevitably, Papa Bear and Baby Bear were going to buy a teddy bear.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Is this particular specimen a good one?
0:26:55 > 0:26:57It's an interesting one. It's contemporary.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01It follows a traditional approach to teddy bears,
0:27:01 > 0:27:05in the fact that it's got a ridged back, pointy face and it's cute.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Fair enough. Well, I'll take that. What's the estimate?
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Probably about 15 to 25.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11OK, we're heading in the right direction.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Papa Bear and Baby Bear paid £25 for it,
0:27:14 > 0:27:16but it doesn't seem like a lot of money for
0:27:16 > 0:27:19a well-made traditional bear, so fingers crossed.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21And from those, we get to, well,
0:27:21 > 0:27:25about as stylish and modern an ice bucket as we're going to see.
0:27:25 > 0:27:26Do you like that one?
0:27:26 > 0:27:27It's interesting.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30It's funky. It's a good internet piece.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32It is down to how much they paid.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36Our estimate is a, sort of, conservative, sort of, £10-£15.
0:27:36 > 0:27:41OK. We'd need to double that because they paid 30 and I suspect,
0:27:41 > 0:27:44given that it's got this glass interior,
0:27:44 > 0:27:48more are broken than have survived through to today.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50So, fingers crossed that, as you say,
0:27:50 > 0:27:52the internet comes to the rescue.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56Well, I see little to be bearish about with this offering.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59I suspect they may need rather a good bonus buy.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Let's go and see if Charlie is the light at the end of the tunnel.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Well, your £115, Charlie...
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Show us what you bought.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14- Oh, I love it! - Oh! That's the reaction they want.
0:28:14 > 0:28:15It's so cute!
0:28:15 > 0:28:17It's just a little kitchen timer.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20But, you know, if you had a Deco-themed kitchen,
0:28:20 > 0:28:21- wouldn't it be funny?- That is...
0:28:21 > 0:28:23- It is rather fun. - Does it work?- It does work.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27I've set the timer. It's timed to a large profit.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29I didn't spend £115.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31What do you think somebody would pay for it?
0:28:31 > 0:28:34- Have a go.- Oh, I don't want to insult you now.
0:28:34 > 0:28:35No, no, don't insult me.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38I have never been insulted in my life. I'm insult-proof.
0:28:38 > 0:28:39How much did you pay? £15.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41- £15.- What do you reckon?
0:28:41 > 0:28:44Oh, I don't know. I think it's really quaint.
0:28:44 > 0:28:45- I think it's really cute. - Well, come on.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48I don't know, like, 10, 20 quid.
0:28:48 > 0:28:49- Five.- Five.- Yay!
0:28:49 > 0:28:51I was going to say that, but I didn't want to...
0:28:51 > 0:28:54It's rather pathetic being left 115, Paul,
0:28:54 > 0:28:56isn't it, and only spending five?
0:28:56 > 0:29:00But I just couldn't bring myself to buy a really fabulous object
0:29:00 > 0:29:03- that was going to lose you money. - Oh.- No naked lady, then?
0:29:03 > 0:29:04Erm, no.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07- She could be hiding in there. - She could be.
0:29:07 > 0:29:08Now, rein in your enthusiasm.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11I suspect you want to make your mind up,
0:29:11 > 0:29:14but leave that until the sale of your three items.
0:29:14 > 0:29:15In the meantime,
0:29:15 > 0:29:19let's go and see if the auctioneer is as excited about Charlie's timer.
0:29:20 > 0:29:26Make of it what you will, Charlie's bonus buy is a timer.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29What can I say? It's plastic.
0:29:29 > 0:29:30It's a timer.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32Circa 1980s.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34I think so.
0:29:34 > 0:29:39Erm, a cautious estimate of about £5-£10.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43But, remember, we do live in an area where the WI has a stronghold
0:29:43 > 0:29:45- and they like baking cakes. - PAUL LAUGHS
0:29:45 > 0:29:46I'm clutching at straws.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49You are doing a good job.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52- AUCTIONEER SIGHS - OK, jesting aside.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55£5-£10 is good enough because Charlie picked it up for a fiver,
0:29:55 > 0:29:57and a profit is a profit.
0:29:59 > 0:30:00I think there may be a profit in it.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03Good stuff, but that's it for the Reds.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05Over to the Blues.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09Helen and George kicked off their little shopping spree
0:30:09 > 0:30:11with the Elgin pocket watch.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Now, I've got to say they're rather ubiquitous,
0:30:14 > 0:30:16but if I had to buy one,
0:30:16 > 0:30:18that's as good as I've seen in many a moon.
0:30:18 > 0:30:19What do you think?
0:30:19 > 0:30:21I agree.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24We see a lot of pocket watches, but this has got it all going on.
0:30:24 > 0:30:25It's a gilded case.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27It's pretty. It's got engraving.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Again, if you were going to buy one, that's the one to buy.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32Yeah. Well, we rate it, so far as they go.
0:30:32 > 0:30:33Tell me that estimate.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36About 30 to 40, but it could make a bit more.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38A bit more is going to get them where they need to be
0:30:38 > 0:30:40because they paid £45.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42So, nothing to be despondent about thus far.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46Now, George's favourite purchase was the little Worcester pot.
0:30:46 > 0:30:47What do you think of that one?
0:30:47 > 0:30:50I like this. It's certainly not a piece of Stinton.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53- However, it's pretty and people like birds.- Mm-hmm.
0:30:53 > 0:30:54Erm, so, yeah...
0:30:54 > 0:30:58Yeah, a cautious estimate, again, about £15-£25.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01Well, I hope that is cautious because it cost them £95,
0:31:01 > 0:31:02but I've got to agree with you.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04I suspect that's maybe old money,
0:31:04 > 0:31:07and indeed it's not a named piece, but it is hand-enamelled.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10It is Worcester. I see no condition issues.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13All we can do is hope that we're wrong.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15- Crossed fingers. - Well, I've got to tell you,
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Helen has more than a soft spot for Cornishware, so I'm not at all
0:31:18 > 0:31:21surprised about her next purchase, the four blue-banded bowls.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23How good are they of their kind?
0:31:23 > 0:31:25They're nice and early. They seem to be in good condition.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27There's very little crazing,
0:31:27 > 0:31:29so it looks like they've seen fairly little use,
0:31:29 > 0:31:31and I think they would look beautiful
0:31:31 > 0:31:33on someone's kitchen dresser.
0:31:33 > 0:31:34What are they going to pay?
0:31:34 > 0:31:37I would have thought probably about 15 to 25.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Maybe a little bit more.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41They paid £48,
0:31:41 > 0:31:44so we're going to need someone to really fall in love with them
0:31:44 > 0:31:46to save the day.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49OK, well, we're worried about the Worcester.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52They may need their bonus buy. Let's go take a look.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54With that stance, I don't know whether
0:31:54 > 0:31:57you're impersonating a butler or you've been handcuffed.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59Show us what you've bought, Gary.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01And here it is.
0:32:01 > 0:32:02Voila.
0:32:02 > 0:32:03Ooh, wow.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06Now, a Ford product made in England.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08Now, they don't make things like this any more,
0:32:08 > 0:32:11so I thought this has got to be from the '50s or something.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14- What do you think of it? Yeah. - Yeah, definitely.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:32:14 > 0:32:20I found out that this came out of a Ford Zephyr Mk1,
0:32:20 > 0:32:21which was first produced...
0:32:21 > 0:32:25- They're '50s, aren't they? - ..in 1951 to 1956.- Yeah.
0:32:25 > 0:32:26Yeah.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29So, Gary, the question is, how much did you pay for this?
0:32:29 > 0:32:32I paid all of £30.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36- OK.- Hmm, that seems quite steep to me.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39All right, but hold it. Hold it.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42I tried to bargain with the dealer, and he wouldn't come down.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45What he did offer me, though, was an extra.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48A bonus, bonus buy.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50- Oh, we like the sound of that. - Sounds good to me.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Ta-da!
0:32:52 > 0:32:54- Oh, wow. I love that. - Look at that.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56- George?- That's a pencil sharpener, Gary.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59- Yes, indeed.- That's fab, yeah. - Inspect it.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02I'm very curious to see what this goes for at auction, so...
0:33:02 > 0:33:04OK. Don't make your mind up now.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07Leave that until after the auction of your three items.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10In the meantime, let's go see if Gary's automotive lot
0:33:10 > 0:33:12is going to drive up the Blues' profits
0:33:12 > 0:33:14or bring them to a crashing halt.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18There. Now, what do you think of those?
0:33:18 > 0:33:20I like them. Automobilia is very strong round here,
0:33:20 > 0:33:23and there is quite a bit in this sale already,
0:33:23 > 0:33:24so it's the right sale for it.
0:33:24 > 0:33:28However, date-wise, the badge isn't that old.
0:33:28 > 0:33:29It's a reproduction.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32OK, reproduction it may be, but it's got to have a value.
0:33:32 > 0:33:33What are the pair of them worth?
0:33:33 > 0:33:35I think about 15 to 25.
0:33:35 > 0:33:3615 to 25.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39Well, I hope they do a little more than that.
0:33:39 > 0:33:40Gary paid £30.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42- I think all we can say is fingers crossed.- Hmm.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45Well, are you going to be selling this assortment, David?
0:33:45 > 0:33:47I will be on the rostrum.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49Very good. Well, we have an interesting offering for you,
0:33:49 > 0:33:51- and I wish you good luck.- Thank you.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53Any interest at all at 10?
0:33:53 > 0:33:54£10. Yeah. At 10, I'm bid.
0:33:54 > 0:33:5612, will you? £12 for this lot? £12 anywhere?
0:33:56 > 0:33:59- I'm selling at 10. - GAVEL THUMPS
0:33:59 > 0:34:02The two bears, Rosie and Sean, how are you feeling?
0:34:02 > 0:34:03- Excited.- Yes?
0:34:03 > 0:34:05- Yes, very excited. - Golden gavel time.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08- Excited and... - We're ready for the golden gavel.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10- Confident fighting talk.- Yes.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Have you been to an auction before?
0:34:12 > 0:34:13- I haven't.- I have.- OK.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16- I have been once, yeah. - This is super exciting.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18I love this enthusiasm.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22So, how are you feeling about your heaviest spend, the mirror?
0:34:22 > 0:34:25- Still going to do it?- Yeah. - Going to get rid of it?- Yeah.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Yep. It's a French silver hand mirror.
0:34:27 > 0:34:28Here it comes now.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31Again, a whole load of interest in this, and I'm not surprised.
0:34:31 > 0:34:32I can start it with me at 40.
0:34:32 > 0:34:3442, will you?
0:34:34 > 0:34:3542. 45.
0:34:35 > 0:34:3648. 50.
0:34:36 > 0:34:3752. 55.
0:34:37 > 0:34:3958. 60.
0:34:39 > 0:34:4162. 65 and I'm out.
0:34:41 > 0:34:42£65 for this lot.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44- Let's move to the room. 65. - It was going so nicely.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47- There's a hand in the air.- 68. 70.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50Nod at 70. I'm looking for £70 for this a lot.
0:34:50 > 0:34:51Let's move to the internet.

0:41:34 > 0:41:38I would love to say that was a rollercoaster ride, but, if it was,
0:41:38 > 0:41:40it was the only rollercoaster I've ever been on
0:41:40 > 0:41:44where it was downhill all the way.
0:41:44 > 0:41:48This is very true, as you know.
