0:00:04 > 0:00:06Today I'm at Newark Fair in Nottinghamshire,
0:00:06 > 0:00:09and I've found just the thing to get me around.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12This Raleigh chopper was an icon of 1970s style,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15and manufactured just up the road from here.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19Back then, a basic model would have cost you about £32.
0:00:19 > 0:00:23But now, vintage models can go for up to £7,000.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Will we find anything as distinctive as this today?
0:00:26 > 0:00:29There's only one way to find out - let's go Bargain Hunting.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31SHE RINGS THE BELL
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Here at the fair, there are 2,500 stalls to choose from.
0:00:59 > 0:01:04We've got two teams with £300 and just one hour to bag those bargains.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Let's take a look at what's coming up.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09The Reds are definitely happy...
0:01:09 > 0:01:11- Happy?- Yeah.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Speechless, basically!
0:01:13 > 0:01:14You've not asked me if I'm happy.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- Are you happy?- Yeah, I'm happy! - Good girl!
0:01:17 > 0:01:19..the Blues are breaking new ground...
0:01:19 > 0:01:23- Well, this is the first halfway cup of coffee I've ever had...- Really?!
0:01:23 > 0:01:26..in all these years. I've been doing it for 400 years.
0:01:26 > 0:01:27LAUGHTER
0:01:27 > 0:01:30..and there's plenty of drama at the auction.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31Bid on the net...
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Do I see 140?
0:01:34 > 0:01:38I'm sorry. Start me at... I've got no bid here!
0:01:38 > 0:01:39But all that's coming up later.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41First of all, let's meet today's teams.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44For the Reds, we have father and daughter Claire and John.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46And for the Blues, we have friends Karen and Patsy.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48- Welcome, teams. ALL:- Hello.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50You're very excited, aren't you?!
0:01:50 > 0:01:52I love it. First to the Reds.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56Now, Claire, I think you've got the best job description I've ever heard
0:01:56 > 0:01:58in my entire life. Tell us all what it is.
0:01:58 > 0:01:59I work as a princess.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01A princess!
0:02:01 > 0:02:03- It's brilliant!- Amazing.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05- Do you have a crown?- I have tiaras,
0:02:05 > 0:02:07magic wands, bows and curtsies.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- Really?- Yes.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Where did you see a job description going for a princess?
0:02:13 > 0:02:17Well, I started off at Warwick Castle, but now I can do it all over the place.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- And you enjoy it, obviously. - I love it. It's so much fun.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22So, surely, John, if Claire's a princess,
0:02:22 > 0:02:23that must make you a king, right?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Unfortunately, no. Unfortunately, no.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28I'm a concrete mixer truck driver.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30A concrete mixer truck driver.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Yes. All throughout the Greater Manchester area.
0:02:33 > 0:02:34So, you're a busy boy.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36It's not a 9-5 job.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Where did we spend last Christmas Eve?
0:02:39 > 0:02:40Manchester Airport!
0:02:40 > 0:02:42It was so sad!
0:02:44 > 0:02:46- We missed Santa.- No, you didn't!
0:02:46 > 0:02:47We were working!
0:02:48 > 0:02:51I got to wear a hard hat and a high-vis.
0:02:51 > 0:02:52Living the dream!
0:02:52 > 0:02:55So, what are the tactics today, team?
0:02:55 > 0:02:56Spend it all.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Yeah, we want to be quick.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01OK. Quick and spend everything.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Well, we'll leave the expert just a little bit,
0:03:03 > 0:03:07because normally it puts the expert under a bit of pressure.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10They tend to do better when they're under the pressure.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14Fantastic. Well, best of luck, I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time,
0:03:14 > 0:03:17I really do. Now, girls. Tell me, Karen, what do you do for a job?
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- I'm actually a funeral arranger. - A funeral arranger.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23A funeral arranger, it sounds very strange.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26My husband can't understand why I enjoy it like I do.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28But it's the fact that you can help families
0:03:28 > 0:03:31- at what can be the worst time of their life.- Yes, absolutely.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34If you can help them through it, then it's great.
0:03:34 > 0:03:35- It's very rewarding.- I bet.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38So, Patsy, you are a retired pub landlady, aren't you?
0:03:38 > 0:03:42Yes, I've been retired out of the pub trade now for about three years.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46Patsy, I've heard there's something a little bit unique about you.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- Am I right?- It seems so.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54- Tell us about it.- I always carry a spare pair of knickers in my bag.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58And I thought that was, like... what everybody did.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Because when I was younger, my nan always said, "Never go out unless
0:04:01 > 0:04:04"you've got clean underwear, in case you get run over."
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Well, there is wisdom.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10So, if you got run over, having a spare pair of pants would be...
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Well, for any catastrophe!
0:04:12 > 0:04:13LAUGHTER
0:04:13 > 0:04:18Should Armageddon come, don't worry, Patsy's got pants.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20I brought two pairs today, just in case!
0:04:22 > 0:04:24So, what are the tactics today?
0:04:24 > 0:04:28I think that we're going keep our eye out, obviously, for a bargain -
0:04:28 > 0:04:31not necessarily what we like, but what we think might make money.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35That's fantastic. So, but what do you need to go shopping?
0:04:35 > 0:04:36- Some money.- Some money.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Exactly. So, here we go.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41£300. Who's in charge?
0:04:41 > 0:04:45- Me? Me.- £300 for the Reds - who's going to be in charge?
0:04:45 > 0:04:47- I'll look after it. - Surprise, surprise!
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Brilliant. Your experts await now, teams, off you go.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Best of luck.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57My goodness, we've got some talented teams today,
0:04:57 > 0:05:00but whose star is going to shine the brightest?
0:05:00 > 0:05:01We'll have to wait and see.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07And riding out with our teams today, our two fabulous experts.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Hoping for some deals on wheels, it's Caroline Hawley.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15And setting off to retro heaven for the Blues, it's David Harper.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Right, tell me - what are you looking for?
0:05:18 > 0:05:20OK, today I want jewellery, bling.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24- Silver.- Silver, we're always looking for silver, let's make it different.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Pottery.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Something out of the normal.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30- An oddball thing.- Patsy?
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- A bit of bling, maybe. - Well, we like a bit of bling.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37That's it, teams - your 60 minutes starts now.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Come on, then!
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- Shall we go on a bling hunt? - Let's go.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46So it sounds like they're after oddball bling.
0:05:46 > 0:05:47This could be an interesting hour.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50And it looks like the Reds are onto something already.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Are these original, or are they repro?
0:05:52 > 0:05:54I would think they're repro,
0:05:54 > 0:05:56and the good clue is there's lots of them.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59They've got a bit of rust on them cos they've been out in the rain.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01If something looks too good to be true, it usually is.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Caroline isn't too keen on those signs,
0:06:04 > 0:06:07but what on earth have the Blues found?
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- That is wild, isn't it? - Absolutely.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- Different.- Patsy, what is it?
0:06:11 > 0:06:13A helicopter?!
0:06:14 > 0:06:16A helicopter... No wonder she's on this show.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- I know.- It's a lamp, isn't it?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21It's a lamp. Date wise, what's your instinct?
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- Is it Georgian?- I don't think so!
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- '80s?- '80s.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27Do you hang it from the ceiling?
0:06:27 > 0:06:30You might do... Oh, yes, you do.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- You're so right.- Aha.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- Well done, Karen. - It's a little bit different.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37It is. And it's... How much is it?
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- £45.- 45. - Is there any movement on that?
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- £40.- What about a little bit more?
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- What, 48?- No, down!
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Oh, down, sorry! Who am I working for here?
0:06:48 > 0:06:49You're supposed to be on our side!
0:06:49 > 0:06:51£35.
0:06:51 > 0:06:5335?
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- You're going to have to buy a helicopter.- 35.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- We bought ourselves a helicopter. - Thank you very much.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59- Thank you.- The cheapest helicopter in the world.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01It's a world record!
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Good first purchase, you two.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- See you later.- Thank you!
0:07:06 > 0:07:09It's not exactly blingy, but these girls know what they like
0:07:09 > 0:07:11and they don't hang around.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Well, look at you two,
0:07:13 > 0:07:16five minutes and 40 seconds in,
0:07:16 > 0:07:18first purchase done.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21I'll tell you... That's certainly not what we were expecting to buy,
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- was it?- Definitely not.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Meanwhile, it seems the Reds are heading into princess territory.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- Oh, Claire.- These, these, these.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Oh, my gosh. Aren't they beautiful?
0:07:32 > 0:07:35So, Claire, tell me why...
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Sorry, sorry, I've seen a green one!
0:07:37 > 0:07:38Oh, my gosh. Is it worth something?
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Is it a good one? Tell me it's a good one.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Well, it's certainly a princess chair!
0:07:44 > 0:07:47I can't rock into work with that!
0:07:47 > 0:07:51- It's new.- Yes, and I think it's had a new touch of paint on it.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53It's sort of gold paint.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54But, for a princess...
0:07:56 > 0:07:57Have a sit down.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01I don't want to break it, I've put some weight on!
0:08:01 > 0:08:03This is the one you love, yeah?
0:08:03 > 0:08:05I love this. I actually love it.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09I'll go in, find the price out, see what I can haggle it down to.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11OK, off you go, John.
0:08:11 > 0:08:12Bad cop, good cop.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- You're meant to be the bad cop. - Do you do this when you're out shopping?
0:08:17 > 0:08:22Bad cop? Or should that be the wicked king of a magical kingdom?
0:08:22 > 0:08:26We'll see. Meanwhile, the Blues are getting a bit retro.
0:08:26 > 0:08:27See the '70s coffee table?
0:08:27 > 0:08:29- Oh, no.- You don't like it, do you?
0:08:29 > 0:08:31- No.- Patsy can't see it.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35- Where are we looking at?- It's there. - Oh, my - my mum had one of them.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Well, exactly.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Anything that your mother had is now cool.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41- You don't like it, do you?- No.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42No.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46The Blues know what they like, and it's not that '70s table.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49But has King John had any luck?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51- What news?- He wants 50 quid.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53I've offered him 25.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57A bit adamant, he said no, 50 quid. I just said, "Well, I'll walk away".
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- I walked away from him.- So you want to come back in a bit?
0:09:00 > 0:09:01Yes, let's come back.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Do you know, if I'd had you at the beginning of my career,
0:09:04 > 0:09:07I'd have been a very wealthy women by now.
0:09:07 > 0:09:08John drives a hard bargain,
0:09:08 > 0:09:12so it's a joint decision to leave it on the back burner.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15But it seems the Blues aren't completely in agreement.
0:09:15 > 0:09:16No, no... I hate clowns.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- You hate clowns? Oh, excellent. - But I like clowns.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- I collect clowns.- You don't?
0:09:21 > 0:09:24I think you would describe it as Murano in its style,
0:09:24 > 0:09:26the little island off the coast of Venice.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29They've been producing glassware there for centuries.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32You wouldn't think it, looking at Mr Clown here.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35But he's a one-off. He's got these little bubbles and it's completely
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- hand-blown.- 45, no.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41- Is there any movement on that? - Yeah. 30?
0:09:41 > 0:09:43- I quite like that.- Come on, then, what's he worth?
0:09:43 > 0:09:44We're wasting time here!
0:09:44 > 0:09:46The man says 30.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47Could you come down a bit more?
0:09:47 > 0:09:49I can do it for 25.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51If you want to go for it, Patsy, you go for it.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- Are we going to do it?- Yes.- Are we going to buy a clown?- Yes.- Why not?
0:09:54 > 0:09:56- Buy a clown.- Thank you.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Let's not knock it off the top!
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- Thank you. - I bet you're relieved, aren't you?
0:10:04 > 0:10:05There's no stopping these girls,
0:10:05 > 0:10:07and that's their second purchase in the bag.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11You two are fantastic.
0:10:11 > 0:10:16- Two buys in, 14 minutes used up. - No way!
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- Go on.- High five.- Keep on going, I'm going to catch up with you.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Off you go. Those two are genuinely remarkable,
0:10:23 > 0:10:27truly tapped into the true spirit of Bargain Hunt.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29They're hunting for bargains and
0:10:29 > 0:10:32they will snap up anything that feels good and right.
0:10:32 > 0:10:33They're going with their instincts,
0:10:33 > 0:10:36they're natural wheeler and dealers and I love them,
0:10:36 > 0:10:39and I'm going to go and buy the third object.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Run, David, run! It looks like the Reds are lagging behind.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44But it seems John has taken charge.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47What have you found, John?
0:10:47 > 0:10:49There's these scales.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50Yeah?
0:10:50 > 0:10:52They're marked up at £80.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55I think it's a bit of a weighty price.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Oh, she's good, isn't she?
0:10:57 > 0:11:00'Scuse, skipper, what's the best you could possibly do on something
0:11:00 > 0:11:02- like this?- 60 quid.- 60.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Would you take 50, cash?
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Meet you halfway, I'll do 'em 55 cash.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11I think it's still a little high.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14But they're nicely polished, full set of weights.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16- 55 is my best.- 55 is your lowest?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- Yeah.- If we're stuck, we take this.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20OK. Excellent.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22We'll see you in a minute!
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Hm, that's the second item on the back burner for the Reds.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29But have the Blues already found their third item?
0:11:29 > 0:11:30It's a bit off-the-wall...
0:11:30 > 0:11:33What was it that drew you in?
0:11:33 > 0:11:35- It was the handcuffs. - It was the handcuffs,
0:11:35 > 0:11:36definitely the handcuffs, David.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39I'd prefer them if they were pink or fluffy.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Thankfully, that's a no, then.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44But it looks like the Reds are back at the same stall and something else
0:11:44 > 0:11:46has caught their eye.
0:11:46 > 0:11:47John's back in charge.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49They're nice!
0:11:50 > 0:11:54These are really cool. They're, like, dead industrial.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Bars and stuff like these.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59See your lampshades, your light ones,
0:11:59 > 0:12:01the heavy-duty ones?
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- What are they marked up at? - 40 quid each for them.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- Each?- There's a set of four there.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09I'd do that set of four for 150 quid.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12That's not... That's only coming down a tenner, that, innit?
0:12:12 > 0:12:17- You'll not do 120?- I'll do it for 130 quid, but that is it.- 130...
0:12:17 > 0:12:18It's 50 on the scales?
0:12:18 > 0:12:1955 on the scales.
0:12:19 > 0:12:24- Call it 50 on the scales and we'll buy them both.- Yeah, if you buy them both, 180 for the lot, yeah.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26- There you go. - So, that's both our items.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30- Happy?- Yes. Yes, speechless, basically!
0:12:30 > 0:12:32- You've not asked me if I'm happy. - Are you happy?
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Yeah, I'm happy!
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Easy day!
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Wow, John, you certainly move it, don't you?
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Now, just let's go through this.
0:12:41 > 0:12:46- You've bought four light shades... - Correct.- ..for 130.- Correct.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49And you bought the scales for 50.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51So 180 for them both.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Well, how brilliant are you two?
0:12:54 > 0:12:5715 minutes in, and the first two bought.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01- Brilliant! And you're still laughing!- Yes!
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Smashed it, didn't we, Dad?
0:13:03 > 0:13:05This could be a record.
0:13:05 > 0:13:0815 minutes in and both teams have two items.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11They're certainly firing on all cylinders,
0:13:11 > 0:13:14and something else has caught the attention of the Blues.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17What do you think of that? He's gorgeous.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- Do you think he's gorgeous?- Yeah. - Patsy, do you think he's gorgeous?
0:13:20 > 0:13:22- I do like it, yeah. - Simply an ornament.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24You know, an object of beauty.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- That's what it is.- Absolutely.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30And if you look very carefully around the edge, it's signed here.
0:13:30 > 0:13:31Hadeland Studio.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35- Is that a good make?- Yeah, it is a nice make, and it's a studio piece.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38It's really quite unusual to find glassware that's signed.
0:13:38 > 0:13:39What about its age?
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Is that going to have any bearing on it?
0:13:41 > 0:13:44I don't think there's much age on it.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47- Is it important?- I don't think so, cos he's just so handsome, anyway.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50I think anybody would be happy to have that.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53I'm going to suggest then that we talk to the dealer, we get a price,
0:13:53 > 0:13:57but I think I'm going to say something that I don't think I've ever said before.
0:13:57 > 0:14:02Ask the dealer to put him aside, because we've only had 20 minutes.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04- Oh, dear!- This is unheard of!
0:14:04 > 0:14:08I want to take you shopping and show you some other things first.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10And we can put him on hold for half an hour,
0:14:10 > 0:14:12- and make the final decision.- OK.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Right, this is beautiful, we really love it.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17It's got 35 on, is there any movement on that?
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- Um, we could do it for 30.- 30?
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- What do you think?- Bit more? - Twist my arm a little bit.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25- Just a little bit?- 28.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- I think that's good.- I think so. - Fabulous.- Just for half an hour.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Yeah, for half an hour, and we'll be back.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- OK.- Bless you. Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Thank you. OK, yeah, I've never, never had this situation.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41There's a first time for everything,
0:14:41 > 0:14:44and the Blues have time to hunt out even better bargains.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45Good work, team.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49It's time for the Reds to plan their tactics.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Right. So, here we are.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Now, you've had your turn, John.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57You've done brilliantly, you've had your turn.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Now, princess - this is all about you.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02All about you.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04It probably usually is all about you,
0:15:04 > 0:15:06but you've got 40 minutes in here.
0:15:06 > 0:15:0940 minutes to find what you'd like.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Fabulous, I think I've already seen it as well.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12I'm not even joking!
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Come and see this, come and see this, I'm not even joking.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17- Gosh, she's exhausting, isn't she? - Yes!- Come on!
0:15:19 > 0:15:20Oh, my God - I'm not even joking.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24Come here. Oh, my gosh, it's Louis Vuitton.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28- That is gorgeous. I kid you not. - Look at the price, Claire.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31- I kid you not.- Look at the price... - Yes, 700!
0:15:31 > 0:15:34I feel a "Dad..." coming on!
0:15:34 > 0:15:36That's beautiful.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Like, I'd buy that in an auction.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40We're going to have to let it go. It's not going to happen.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Unfortunately, let's move on.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- We'll get a fake one... - Yes, let it go, Claire.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48And while they continue their search, let's take a break from the shopping.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52I've found a tiny item with a huge story to tell.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01This little card here is known as a visiting card, or a calling card.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03From the 19th century,
0:16:03 > 0:16:06visiting cards were an indispensable tool of etiquette.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08This little calling card here
0:16:08 > 0:16:10belonged to a man who was widely known as
0:16:10 > 0:16:14one of the most inspirational men of the 20th century.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15Sir Ernest Shackleton.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19Shackleton led several polar expeditions to the Antarctic and was
0:16:19 > 0:16:22one of the best-known explorers of the early 20th century.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25His first Antarctic expedition was in 1901,
0:16:25 > 0:16:29and in 1908 he led his own Antarctic expedition on the ship The Nimrod.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32It was after this particularly challenging expedition that Shackleton was
0:16:32 > 0:16:35knighted on his return to the UK.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38So this little card here must date from post-1909,
0:16:38 > 0:16:40because it's titled Sir
0:16:40 > 0:16:43and also signed on the back,
0:16:43 > 0:16:45just there, in ink.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48His fascination for the Antarctic and for polar exploration wasn't
0:16:48 > 0:16:52satisfied, and he set up another mission on The Endurance.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56It's not inconceivable that this visiting card comes from a time when
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Shackleton was lobbying people for funds to finance this mission.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Where did he leave it?
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Who was it for? Sadly, we'll never know.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07What we do know is that this little scrap of paper here with this
0:17:07 > 0:17:10lettering across the front and his signature on the back
0:17:10 > 0:17:13has very little or indeed no intrinsic value, really,
0:17:13 > 0:17:17but that the man that signed it is ranked the 11th out of 100
0:17:17 > 0:17:20greatest Britons of all time.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23This particular piece was bought by a collector at auction for around
0:17:23 > 0:17:26£400. For me, it's a piece of history,
0:17:26 > 0:17:28and it's worth every single penny.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Time to get back to bargain hunting
0:17:39 > 0:17:43and it looks like the Blues are busy breaking records.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Well, this is the first halfway cup of coffee I've ever had
0:17:46 > 0:17:48on Bargain Hunt in all these years.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50I've been doing it for 400 years.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53The first time I've had a break in-between a shop.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55This should be the new law!
0:17:56 > 0:18:01Half an hour in, you've got to stop by law, have a cappuccino.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03- Absolutely.- Yes. - So, we've still got time, then?
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Loads of time. We're going to go down a couple of aisles,
0:18:06 > 0:18:09look at some things. And if there's nothing you want to buy desperately,
0:18:09 > 0:18:13which there probably will be, then we'll go back for the seal.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- OK.- That works for us.- That works. - We're making the most of our time.
0:18:16 > 0:18:17- Thank you.- Cheers again, girls.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- Cheers.- They look pretty relaxed.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23But how are the Reds getting on now Claire's in charge?
0:18:23 > 0:18:25What are these ones?
0:18:25 > 0:18:29Spoons. Now, they're Georg Jensen, I think.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32They're fairly modern, but they're nice, good maker.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36I do like them. I kind of wanted to get something more feminine, though.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38You've had your masculine purchases.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Right, lead the way.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Right, jewellery, let's have a look.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46There has to be something girlie here somewhere.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49But have the Blues found something fit for a princess?
0:18:49 > 0:18:51What's that, loo roll holders?
0:18:51 > 0:18:53- Yeah.- Oh, my word.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- Oh, my God.- What's that?- St Pancras.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- How interesting.- Do you think that's really real?
0:18:59 > 0:19:00I'm not sure whether it is or not,
0:19:00 > 0:19:03but do you think it's from St Pancras Station?
0:19:03 > 0:19:06- That's what I'm thinking.- It's a copy of something that was in...
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- Is it?- Yeah. But how very fascinating is that?
0:19:09 > 0:19:10But, again, sadly, if it's a copy,
0:19:10 > 0:19:12there's going to be others on
0:19:12 > 0:19:14- the market. So, tricky again for auction.- Yeah.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19I don't think that loo roll holder has really hit the button.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21But it seems something has got Claire excited.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23How beautiful is that?
0:19:23 > 0:19:28I've never seen a silver cup and saucer like that.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30It's a wonderful thing.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33- Yeah.- And you love it, don't you? - I do love it. I love it.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35- I absolutely love it. - I can see you love it.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- Ask to see it first. - Is it OK to have a closer look?
0:19:38 > 0:19:39Fabulous. I'll be dead careful.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Oh, my gosh, that is so delicate.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45This is absolutely fantastic.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49Silver cup and saucer, I've never seen a silver hallmarked cup and saucer.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- No.- The silver marks will tell you every single thing you need to know.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56I can see here with the crown that it's from Sheffield.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58And that it's silver.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00And it's 1911.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- How much is it?- 150.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04I think that's a good thing.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08- I think that's pretty good.- I think it's absolutely you to a T.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10- Yes!- I don't know what you're talking about.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Yeah, I love it, I love it, I love it.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16I think I should do some, like, haggling.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Shall we leave it to you to do this?
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- Yeah, leave it to me.- The dealer is a little camera shy,
0:20:21 > 0:20:25but can he resist the charm of a princess?
0:20:25 > 0:20:26Claire, what news?
0:20:26 > 0:20:28The lowest I can get it down is 125.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32- Ah, there's a problem there. - I know.- We've only got 120.
0:20:32 > 0:20:33Oh!
0:20:33 > 0:20:34If he'll take 119...
0:20:35 > 0:20:37- That leaves me a quid.- A quid.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40- OK.- Go for it, go for it!
0:20:40 > 0:20:42We're going to look the other way when you do this.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Fingers crossed.
0:20:44 > 0:20:45- Fingers crossed.- Everything crossed.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52No, he says 125, that's all he can do, not a penny under.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54- We've not got it.- We've not got it.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56- Have you told him you've only got 120?- Yeah, I told him.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58I said, that's all I've got.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Oh, dear. That is very bad news for the Reds.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06Meanwhile, the Blues are uncovering some treasure of their own.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08- Is that a jewellery box?- Yeah.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10It is, yeah. Or a lady's sewing box.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12It's absolutely gorgeous.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Do you think that would be up for making anything?
0:21:14 > 0:21:16This is the problem, probably not.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18The Japanese are master craftsmen.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22They make beautiful things in great detail.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Super quality, but they made them by the bucket-load.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Mass produced, but to high quality.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- Yeah.- There's no profit in that box.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34But, hang on, Claire looks rather happy, what's going on?
0:21:34 > 0:21:36John, John, John!
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- What, what?- I just walked past and I was like this, like, "Whatever,
0:21:39 > 0:21:41"it's fine, forget it".
0:21:41 > 0:21:42Yeah, whatever.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45I was like, "It's OK, I'll let it go".
0:21:45 > 0:21:47And then he was like, "All right, I'll do 119".
0:21:49 > 0:21:52You've done exactly what you said you would.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54You've put your expert under pressure,
0:21:54 > 0:21:56you've left me with a pound,
0:21:56 > 0:21:58not two, a pound!
0:21:58 > 0:22:00- Yeah!- And you've got everything you want.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03I'm in admiration.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07- Good on you.- Shall we go and sit down and think what I can spend my pound on?- Yeah.- Yes.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- Come on.- They've done it!
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Three items in the bag, with bags of time to spare.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16So what's the plan in the Blue camp?
0:22:16 > 0:22:18So what are you feeling at the moment?
0:22:18 > 0:22:20I know what my feeling is.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Yeah, well, let's not talk about that,
0:22:22 > 0:22:24we're talking about buying on Bargain Hunt.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- You're thinking about the seal, aren't you?- I am. Yeah.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- Patsy?- Yeah, I'm cool with that. - You cool?- I'm cool with that.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32- You're cool?- Yeah.- Shall we head towards the seal?
0:22:32 > 0:22:34- Let's.- Let's go.- Go buy cool seal.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38So, no pressure on the Blues, and no pressure on the Reds.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40All the pressure's on Caroline.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43How often have people left you with a quid?
0:22:43 > 0:22:44I think it's happened once.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48There you go. You're used to it now!
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Well, our Caroline loves a challenge.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52And with ten minutes to spare,
0:22:52 > 0:22:55the Blues have returned to seal that deal.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56Have you got our seal?
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Still here.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02- Fabulous.- Thank you very much for putting it aside.
0:23:02 > 0:23:03And that's 28?
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Thank you very much, that's brilliant.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09- Thank you.- I'll pack him up carefully for you.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10Brilliant. Thanks a lot.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- Lovely.- Bless you.- Thank you very much.- Thank you.- Thanks.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17I've got to say, you two are superstars.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21That's it, teams - your time is up.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25It's at this point I would normally say, "Let's go for a cup of tea."
0:23:25 > 0:23:28But you've had your cup of tea, I'm not buying you another one, let's go.
0:23:28 > 0:23:29OK. Thank you, bye!
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Right, time to skip off and remind ourselves what the Reds bought.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Will their Victorian cast-iron scales weigh up at auction?
0:23:40 > 0:23:42They cost £50.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46They went right up to date
0:23:46 > 0:23:50with the cool Coolicon enamel light shades at a pretty £130.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55And finally, it's glitzy and it's fit for a princess,
0:23:55 > 0:23:59the silver cup and saucer cost £119.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04John, we're going to have to put GPS on you, I think...
0:24:05 > 0:24:06..to track you down!
0:24:07 > 0:24:11I just saw some stuff, went straight for it, couldn't help it.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Now tell me, what was your favourite item, Claire?
0:24:14 > 0:24:16- The one that I chose.- Let me guess!
0:24:16 > 0:24:19It's a little silver tea cup and saucer.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21- Brilliant. I love it. - It suits her to a T.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24It really does. John, what about you?
0:24:24 > 0:24:26It's got to be the industrial lampshades.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28So tell me, are the industrial lampshades
0:24:28 > 0:24:31going to be the one that brings in the most profit, John?
0:24:31 > 0:24:34I thought that at first, but after seeing what Claire bought,
0:24:34 > 0:24:36- my money's on her. - Claire, need I ask,
0:24:36 > 0:24:38what do you think's going to bring in the most profit?
0:24:38 > 0:24:42- Definitely my choice.- So tell me, team - what did you spend?
0:24:42 > 0:24:45£299.
0:24:45 > 0:24:46You left her a whole pound?
0:24:46 > 0:24:49A full pound, we said we'd do it at the start.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51If there's anyone that can do it, I know that you can, Caroline.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54- What are you going to spend it on? - I'm still thinking.
0:24:54 > 0:24:55You're still thinking!
0:24:55 > 0:24:58And I might be still thinking for a very long time to come.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01- Good luck.- We will leave Caroline
0:25:01 > 0:25:04to ponder what she is going to purchase, but in the meantime,
0:25:04 > 0:25:06let's check out what the Blue team bought.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10First up, the Blues embarked on a flight of fancy with the helicopter
0:25:10 > 0:25:12ceiling light at £35.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Patsy didn't clown around with this Murano glass figure.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20She snapped him up for £25.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24And their final item got the seal of approval from Karen.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28The studio glass paperweight was £28.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Ladies, I have to say, I have never seen anything like it.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32You actually had a cup of tea mid-shop.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35David, you're obviously not putting them under enough pressure.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Listen, I'm going to insist that this is what we do from now on.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42We have a half an hour break, and we have a lovely cup of tea.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47- It certainly wasn't what we were planning on.- What's your favourite item that you bought today?
0:25:47 > 0:25:50- The seal.- The seal? Ah, OK.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53- I loved my seal.- Pats, tell me, what was your favourite item?
0:25:53 > 0:25:57- The clown.- Do you think that it's that clown that's going to bring you in the most profit, Patsy?
0:25:57 > 0:26:01- No, I think it's going to be the helicopter.- The helicopter.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03So tell me, how much did you spend, girls?
0:26:03 > 0:26:06A total, a grand total of £88.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09£212 of leftover lolly, please. There we go, David.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11No woman has ever given me £212.
0:26:11 > 0:26:16- Really? Over it goes to the Harper over there. What are you going to do, David?- I don't know.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19How do I follow a helicopter, a seal and a clown?
0:26:19 > 0:26:21It'll be something unusual.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Well, while David goes in search of the weird and the wonderful,
0:26:24 > 0:26:26let's toddle off to the auction.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Well, it's an absolute delight to be here with Charles Hanson
0:26:39 > 0:26:40at his auction house in Derbyshire.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42- Welcome.- Thank you very much.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44- It's lovely to be here. - Thank you for coming.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48Now, shall we have a look at Claire and John's little selection
0:26:48 > 0:26:50on the Red side of the table over here? We start off
0:26:50 > 0:26:52with the cast Avery scales.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54They are complete, as far as I can see.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56- Yes.- They are in nice condition.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59- With the original weights? - Yes, I'm fairly happy they are.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Right. OK. So, how much do you think?
0:27:02 > 0:27:05We put a guide price on it between £20 and £30.
0:27:05 > 0:27:06They paid £50 for them.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08- It's a bit weighty.- OK.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11- All right, so we're predicting maybe a slight loss on those.- We are.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13So then they went on to buy these enamel shades,
0:27:13 > 0:27:15which I think have just got such a great look about them.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19They've got a great look, but when you lift up a shade and look at the
0:27:19 > 0:27:21under tier, there's no wear.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25And that white is as white as the day they were made.
0:27:25 > 0:27:26It's very fresh, isn't it?
0:27:26 > 0:27:29- More like, maybe no more than 20 years ago.- Oh, really?
0:27:29 > 0:27:34So I'm fairly certain they are later enamelled castings of the
0:27:34 > 0:27:39originals. And the labels have been applied to almost just give them an
0:27:39 > 0:27:42- aged look.- So how much do you think the decorators' market is going to
0:27:42 > 0:27:46- want them, Charlie?- We've put a guide price on all four
0:27:46 > 0:27:48- of between £20 and £30. - For the four?
0:27:48 > 0:27:49For the four.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51- Ouch.- Sorry.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54OK, all right, well look, they paid £130 for the four.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57Oh, dear! Really? £130?
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Yeah. That could be a bit of a loss.
0:27:59 > 0:28:04So finally, both Claire and John thought this little item here was going to bring them the most profit,
0:28:04 > 0:28:06and it's their rather lovely George V silver cup.
0:28:06 > 0:28:12I've never seen a real-sized tea cup and saucer in silver like this.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14It's a real delight. We rate it highly
0:28:14 > 0:28:17and we put a guide price on it between £40 and £60.
0:28:17 > 0:28:18£40 and £60.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22OK, they've got some losses potentially to recoup,
0:28:22 > 0:28:23because they paid £119.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27It's its form. Rarity will outweigh perhaps its silver value,
0:28:27 > 0:28:29so I do hope we'll see it moving a bit.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31It's not looking overly buoyant on the Red side,
0:28:31 > 0:28:33so I think they might need their Bonus Buy.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36So let's go and have a look at it.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38- You two...- Yes.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41..you left Caroline with only £1.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43Dear Caroline, you must have searched high and low.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46- I did.- If there was somebody to do it, you would have done it,
0:28:46 > 0:28:48so what did you spend your whole pound on?
0:28:48 > 0:28:51What does every princess need?
0:28:51 > 0:28:53- A tiara!- You've got one of those!
0:28:54 > 0:28:57A knight in shining armour.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59That's actually really cute.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02And if it doesn't work out, something for your bus fare home.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06A folded up ten shilling note in a silver case,
0:29:06 > 0:29:10which you smash in the case of emergency.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12I like it, I can't believe you managed to get it.
0:29:12 > 0:29:16- But what actually are they?- They're charms for a silver charm bracelet.
0:29:16 > 0:29:21So it's not hallmarked silver, but it's sterling silver, both of them.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23So, we know how much you had left,
0:29:23 > 0:29:26how much did you actually spend of that full pound?
0:29:26 > 0:29:29Well, John... I spent my full pound!
0:29:29 > 0:29:31- Brilliant.- But how much do you think it's going to make?
0:29:31 > 0:29:34Well, they've got to make £10-£20, haven't they?
0:29:34 > 0:29:36Well, you obviously love them, guys,
0:29:36 > 0:29:38which is fantastic, but don't decide just yet.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40For the benefit of those at home,
0:29:40 > 0:29:44let's see what Charles thinks of Caroline's knight in shining armour
0:29:44 > 0:29:46and bus fare home.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48So, Charlie, for Claire, our princess,
0:29:48 > 0:29:49look what Caroline bought.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51Collectors like these odd charms.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54I think they're charming. I think the knight in shining armour,
0:29:54 > 0:29:56although he is unmarked, he is well made.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Beautifully cast and pierced.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02Now, what would your auction estimate be for those two, Charlie?
0:30:02 > 0:30:04The two together, between ten and £15.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07Oh, brilliant. Well, Caroline will be delighted.
0:30:07 > 0:30:08- She paid only £1 for them.- Wow.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10That's all they left her, as well.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13So, let's move on the Blue team.
0:30:13 > 0:30:14Now, Karen and Patsy.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17So, their first purchase was this wonderful helicopter.
0:30:17 > 0:30:18It's not very old.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21I would think this probably is 1990s.
0:30:21 > 0:30:25Oh, really, do you think it's that late? Actually, I think I probably agree with you.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27It's novel and you can't beat novelty.
0:30:27 > 0:30:28What do you think it's worth?
0:30:28 > 0:30:32We've put a guide price on, Christina, of between 20 and £30.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36OK, well that's fair enough. They paid £35 for it, which I don't think is a bad purchase at all.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38- I think it's a bit of fun. - It has a look.
0:30:38 > 0:30:39It has a look, exactly.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41So then they bought, again,
0:30:41 > 0:30:43something which is quite a sort of standout piece,
0:30:43 > 0:30:45that Murano glass clown over there.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47What I like, Christina, about this Murano clown,
0:30:47 > 0:30:51is the fact he's got a blown body and, importantly, condition's good.
0:30:51 > 0:30:521960s.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54- I love him.- Good, fun piece?
0:30:54 > 0:30:57- Yes.- And there are collectors for them. What do you think?
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Between 20 and £30 at auction.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02OK, well, he was Patsy's favourite and they paid £25 for him,
0:31:02 > 0:31:05so they're right in the middle there, aren't they?
0:31:05 > 0:31:08So then, finally, we have this rather magnificent
0:31:08 > 0:31:09seal sculpture here.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12It's a beautifully crafted piece of glass.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15So what do you think of that? Because this was Karen's favourite.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Again, to a glass collector, it ought to do quite well.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21We put a guide price on of between 20 and £30.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24- Brilliant. OK, they paid £28 for it. - Good.- So, all in all,
0:31:24 > 0:31:27it looks like the Blues are heading potentially for a profit, so
0:31:27 > 0:31:30they might not need their Bonus Buy, but we'll go and have a look at it.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32So, girls, you didn't spend a huge amount.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35- No.- And you left David with £212, didn't you?
0:31:35 > 0:31:38- Very kind, wasn't it?- Very kind!
0:31:38 > 0:31:40A substantial amount. But what you did spend,
0:31:40 > 0:31:42you invested in some fairly wacky stuff.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46- So, do we think that David got you something equally wacky for your Bonus Buy?- I'm quite scared.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49- I think he probably has. - Well, let's hope so.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53Come on, David. What did you invest that £212 in?
0:31:53 > 0:31:55I have never in my life, and probably never will,
0:31:55 > 0:31:59buy anything quite like...that!
0:31:59 > 0:32:01Oh, my lord, what is it?
0:32:01 > 0:32:02Barbara Castle?
0:32:02 > 0:32:05Oh, I can see it is now!
0:32:05 > 0:32:06Yes, it is.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08But what actually IS it, David?
0:32:08 > 0:32:12- Enlighten us.- It is a mould, an artist's mould.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16We would fill that with plaster, then, when the plaster was set,
0:32:16 > 0:32:19we would remove the mould, which comes in two pieces,
0:32:19 > 0:32:25and you then would have a bust of Baroness Barbara Castle.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28This is one of the most important female Labour politicians
0:32:28 > 0:32:30of the 20th century, if not of all time.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32So, how much?
0:32:32 > 0:32:34- The big question.- The big question.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37Well... £65.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40And how much do you think that will bring, then, David?
0:32:40 > 0:32:43That's a great question and nobody knows.
0:32:43 > 0:32:47You cannot value it. Is it worth a fiver or is it worth 500 quid?
0:32:47 > 0:32:48OK, girls, what do you think?
0:32:50 > 0:32:52- Speechless.- Speechless!
0:32:52 > 0:32:55- Bit of a gamble.- Well, I can see you're undecided,
0:32:55 > 0:32:58but you don't have to decide now, don't worry.
0:32:58 > 0:32:59For the benefit of those at home,
0:32:59 > 0:33:02let's go and see what Charlie thinks of Bab's bust.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07Right, Charlie, I doubt you've seen one of these before.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10Now, believe it or not...
0:33:11 > 0:33:12..Barbara Castle.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15So, if I'm right in thinking, this is the mould, isn't it?
0:33:15 > 0:33:18And, I suppose, often these were destroyed.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21People didn't want copies being made,
0:33:21 > 0:33:24so to actually find this is quite interesting.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27Exactly. But does it have a value?
0:33:27 > 0:33:31I think it does. We've put a guide price on of between 20 and £30.
0:33:31 > 0:33:3520 and £30. OK, well, look, David paid £65 for it.
0:33:35 > 0:33:36He went all or bust.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38I like it.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41- Will you be taking the auction for us?- I will indeed - I can't wait.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44- Fantastic. Well, it will be very exciting to see what happens. - Hope so.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48OK, Charles, let's get this auction under way.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52- Guys, how are you feeling?- Excited.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54- Excited. Princess?- I can't wait. - You can't wait. Wonderful.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Well, look, we've got your first lot coming up.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59We've got the Avery scales and the weights.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01You paid £50 for them, guys.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04Very best of luck. Here they come.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07These delightful cast iron Avery shop scales.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09I'm only bid £35.
0:34:09 > 0:34:10I'm asking 40 now.
0:34:10 > 0:34:1235. Bid 40.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14They'll really nice. 45 bid.
0:34:14 > 0:34:1650 I'm bid. Do I see five online?
0:34:16 > 0:34:1855, I've got you.
0:34:18 > 0:34:19You're into a profit. Fantastic.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23Bid me 60 now, or I shall sell.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25Bid 60, come on!
0:34:25 > 0:34:29I sell online today...at £55.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31Going, going, going...
0:34:31 > 0:34:34£55, so you're £5 up on your first lot.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37Here comes now your enamelled lampshades.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39John, these were your favourite.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43You spent £130 on these four shades, OK, guys?
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Good luck, John. Here they come.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48And I'm bid for these - I've got 30,
0:34:48 > 0:34:5040, 50, £60 I'm bid.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52Do I see five now?
0:34:52 > 0:34:5360 I'm bid. Do I see five?
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Come on. 60 I'm bid.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57Do I see a fiver? They are delicious.
0:34:57 > 0:34:58- Look at the marking.- Oh, John.
0:34:58 > 0:34:59That original label.
0:34:59 > 0:35:0160 I'm bid. Do I see five?
0:35:01 > 0:35:03Come on. Fair warning.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06That's it. At £60.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08Going, going...
0:35:08 > 0:35:11Oh... So you've lost £70 on that lot.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14We are at £65 down.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Claire, this is your choice.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19This beautiful little silver cup and saucer.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21Now, you paid £119.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23- Best of luck.- Thank you.
0:35:23 > 0:35:24Here it comes.
0:35:24 > 0:35:2645, 55, 65,
0:35:26 > 0:35:28I'm asking 70 now.
0:35:28 > 0:35:3070 I'm bid.
0:35:30 > 0:35:31Five, 80,
0:35:31 > 0:35:3590, five, 100, 110.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37100 I'm bid.
0:35:37 > 0:35:38Do I see 110?
0:35:38 > 0:35:42I'll take 110. 110. 115...
0:35:42 > 0:35:43with me.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46I'm asking 120 online or I shall sell at 115.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48120 I'm bid.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51125. 130. 135.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53140. 135
0:35:53 > 0:35:56I'm bid on the net. Do I see 140?
0:35:56 > 0:35:59Fair warning. I sell it at 135
0:35:59 > 0:36:02and the sale all done.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04£135.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06Guys, it just made £16 profit.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09You both predicted a profit on that, so well done.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12Overall, unfortunately, we're down £49, OK?
0:36:12 > 0:36:15What are we going to do about Caroline's Bonus Buy?
0:36:15 > 0:36:18- Definitely going with it. - We are going...?- Yeah.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20- Are you sure?- 100% positive.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24- Good.- You very sweetly left her only £1 - a full pound.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26A whole pound.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28She invested it wisely - she bought those two little charms.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30We need every penny we can get.
0:36:30 > 0:36:31Here it comes. Let's go.
0:36:31 > 0:36:35And I will start this lot at only £5.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Come on. Five I'm bid. I'll take six now.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39Into instant profit there, Caroline.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Six, eight I'm bid.

0:36:55 > 0:36:59I shall sell, fair warning, at £20.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01Going, going...
0:37:02 > 0:37:05- Brilliant.- 19 times profit, there, Caroline.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09A profit there of £19 on your Bonus Buy, so very well done.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11So that leaves us at
0:37:11 > 0:37:13minus £30 overall.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15That's not as bad.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17You never know, guys. It could be a winning score.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19You never know. Minus £30.
0:37:19 > 0:37:20What have you not got to do?
0:37:21 > 0:37:25- Say a word to the Blues. - Say anything.- It's...
0:37:29 > 0:37:33- Exciting, isn't it?- Absolutely. I've never been to an auction before.

0:37:41 > 0:37:43Best of luck. Here it comes.
0:37:43 > 0:37:47There we are. It might be choppy, this.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49But you might hover for it, there we are.

0:38:58 > 0:38:59so at the moment,
0:38:59 > 0:39:01you are £10 down.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04Let's hope we can recoup it on this fabulous sea lion.

0:39:44 > 0:39:46He paid £65.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49- Excuse me!- It's a unique piece of work.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52What do you think, Patsy? Well, we haven't made anything, have we?

0:40:31 > 0:40:33Who doesn't want Barbara Castle's bust?
0:40:33 > 0:40:35It's really invigorating.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38Artistically creative, David Harper.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42Could it be 12? It's got to go.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46I'm sorry. At £10, it's over.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48It's over, all right!
0:40:50 > 0:40:53Thanks for coming, David Harper!

0:40:56 > 0:40:59Babs, God bless her, made £10,
0:40:59 > 0:41:01which is a loss of £55,
0:41:01 > 0:41:04so we are currently at...
0:41:04 > 0:41:06-£63.
0:41:06 > 0:41:07It could have been worse.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09It went slightly from bad to worse,
0:41:09 > 0:41:12didn't it? But hey, you never know on Bargain Hunt.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14It might be a winning score!
0:41:14 > 0:41:16LAUGHTER
0:41:16 > 0:41:17Don't say a word to the Reds.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19I'll get you some tissues.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21Come on, tea on me.
0:41:21 > 0:41:22OK, come on.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30Isn't it just the most beautiful day?
0:41:30 > 0:41:33- Gorgeous.- The sun is shining, the birds are singing,
0:41:33 > 0:41:36- the beautiful Derbyshire countryside is behind us.- Yeah.
0:41:36 > 0:41:40It's very difficult to believe there was quite so much carnage
0:41:40 > 0:41:43- in today's saleroom.- Yeah...
0:41:44 > 0:41:45But there was and I'm very,
0:41:45 > 0:41:49very sad to say that you've all done spectacularly badly...
0:41:49 > 0:41:51LAUGHTER
0:41:51 > 0:41:54And unfortunately nobody will be leaving with any money today.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56The team who did the worst
0:41:56 > 0:42:01and who are the runners-up on today's Bargain Hunt
0:42:01 > 0:42:03- are the Blues.- Ahhh!
0:42:03 > 0:42:05How could that be?!
0:42:05 > 0:42:08- I don't know, David.- Unfortunately, it was kind of...
0:42:08 > 0:42:10It was bad.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12And then with David's Bonus Buy,
0:42:12 > 0:42:14it got even worse.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17And you ended up on -£63.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Thank you for being such good sports.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22- Thoroughly enjoyed it.- You've enjoyed your day?- Really enjoyed it.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25- Brilliant. And, of course, the Red team...- Champions!
0:42:26 > 0:42:30..who frankly won by losing the least,
0:42:30 > 0:42:34and you were saved - the knight in shining armour came galloping over
0:42:34 > 0:42:37the horizon in the form of Caroline's Bonus Buy,
0:42:37 > 0:42:40which was splendid and made you £19 profit on that.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42You ended up at minus 30.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44No. We still won!
0:42:45 > 0:42:46Yeah, let's focus on the positive.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48Have you enjoyed it, guys?
0:42:48 > 0:42:51- Every minute. It's been marvellous. - Good, I'm so glad.
