0:00:02 > 0:00:04It's 6.15 and I have a busy day ahead.
0:00:04 > 0:00:07Bargain Hunt has pulled in to the Welsh capital of Cardiff.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09Time to prepare for action.
0:00:09 > 0:00:13# Have a nice day... #
0:00:13 > 0:00:16Ah, good morning. Or should I say bore da?
0:00:16 > 0:00:17The teams are just around the corner,
0:00:17 > 0:00:20so there's no time to waste. Let's get going.
0:00:20 > 0:00:21Let's go Bargain Hunting.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Today, our teams will be shopping here
0:00:48 > 0:00:51at Jacobs Antiques Market in the centre of the city.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54As usual, they have £300 to spend
0:00:54 > 0:00:58to buy themselves three bargains over these three floors.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01This place is stuffed to the rafters full of goodies.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05There's no time to waste. Let's take a sneaky peek at what's coming up.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08The Reds almost fall out...
0:01:08 > 0:01:10- No, I wasn't high-fiving you. - Box, box, box!
0:01:10 > 0:01:12I was, "That's fine, Helen."
0:01:12 > 0:01:15..and the Blues find a mystery object.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18I don't even know what it is, other than a husband beater.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22While at auction, the Reds feel the tension...
0:01:22 > 0:01:27- Make no mistake.- Come on. Come on. - ..and the Blues are in for a shock.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- At £10 only. - THEY GASP
0:01:30 > 0:01:33And I'm off to discover more about a Welsh Hollywood hero.
0:01:33 > 0:01:38- What was he earning in his heyday in Hollywood?- Up to 2,000 a week.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Today on Bargain Hunt, we have two cracking teams.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45For the Reds, we have best buds Helen and Charlotte,
0:01:45 > 0:01:48and for the Blues, we have married couple Caitlin and Steve.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50- Hello, teams. ALL:- Hello!
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Now, Helen, I hear that you have a bit of an eye for design.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54- Is that right? - I like to think so, yes.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56- Mm-hm.- I've recently moved into a new house.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00- Ooh.- So, I've got themed bedrooms. - Ooh.- Um, lots of bling.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- Blingy bedrooms?- Blingy bedrooms.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04So, when you're not dabbling in interior design
0:02:04 > 0:02:07and doing up bedrooms, what do you do for a living?
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Most of my working life has been in the caring industry.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- So, you're a very caring, sharing person?- Yes.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17- Nanny, childminder, support worker, so, yes.- Aw.- Yeah.- That's brilliant.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Charlotte, I believe that you also did a quite similar profession.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- Is that right?- Yes. I've cared for vulnerable adults
0:02:22 > 0:02:25and supported them to be as independent as possible,
0:02:25 > 0:02:28and also Care in the Community, which I absolutely loved.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29- That's how we met.- Yeah.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- And then we talked about work, didn't we?- Mm-hm.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33That's how we started off.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35"Oh, I've done that and I do this and that."
0:02:35 > 0:02:37And also I believe that you're very creative.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39- You do lots of baking and...- I do.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41So, what is it about baking that you love so much?
0:02:41 > 0:02:44It's therapeutic. It's absolutely therapeutic. And creative.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- And tasty, I hope.- I hope so. - SHE LAUGHS
0:02:47 > 0:02:49You know, for every occasion, I've made cakes.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51You're both fantastic friends, which is great.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53You've been friends for a long time, as well.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55How do you think you'll get on today?
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- Oh, I think we'll get on fine. - Yeah, we're going to win.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Oh! THEY LAUGH
0:03:00 > 0:03:02We're both drawn to the same sort of items,
0:03:02 > 0:03:04- so we're both kind of in tune with each other.- OK.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- So, that'll be mostly... - We like bling.- ..bling.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09- So, basically, anything that sparkles is in danger.- Yes.- Yes.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11I'm sure that'll work really well today.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- Very best of luck, Reds.- Thank you. - Thank you.- You'll be wonderful.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Now, Blues, my team of married bliss, Caitlin and Steve.
0:03:18 > 0:03:19Ten years, you've been married, guys!
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- Can you believe it?- Yes, ten years. - Steve, tell me how you met.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24I'd moved down from Scotland to live in Bristol
0:03:24 > 0:03:28and I met Caitlin in a pub when she was still at university.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30- Aw. All those years ago. - Yes, love at first sight.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33- And then you wooed her, I believe, on a very exotic first date.- Yeah.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Yes, invited her out on a first date.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38We went for a walk and managed to get lost.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39And there was a second date?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41There was a second date, yes. There certainly was.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44So, when you're not wooing your delightful wife,
0:03:44 > 0:03:45what do you do, Steve?
0:03:45 > 0:03:49I'm an account delivery manager for a global IT company.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50A global IT company. Right.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53And you also do a lot of travelling, as well, I believe.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55- Your heart is in travelling. - Oh, I love to travel.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59We went to South America for seven or eight weeks.
0:03:59 > 0:04:04- We went to Peru and Argentina and Bolivia, Paraguay.- Wonderful.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06And do you take...? Cos you've got two children.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07Yes, Elizabeth and Sophie.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09And do they come travelling with you?
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- Have they got that travel gene now? - We've got a caravan.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- Wonderful.- A little tourer.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16And we do go round the UK with that
0:04:16 > 0:04:18- and we go and visit family in Scotland...- Yeah, yeah.
0:04:18 > 0:04:23- ..and West Wales, Cornwall, Devon, the usual haunts.- Fantastic.- Yeah.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26So, when you're not jet-setting round the world or in your caravan,
0:04:26 > 0:04:27Caitlin, what do you do?
0:04:27 > 0:04:29- Well, I'm a chartered legal executive...- Right. Oof!
0:04:29 > 0:04:32..but I'm working as a consultant at the moment
0:04:32 > 0:04:36- as a legal costs draughtsman for a costs firm in Monmouth.- OK.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38But you also volunteer, I believe.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- Yeah, I'm the secretary of our local Scout group.- Oh, fantastic.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44So, how do you think, being a married couple,
0:04:44 > 0:04:46you're going to fare in the world of Bargain Hunting today?
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Do you think you'll agree?
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- Well, I'll tell him what to say and he'll do it.- I'll do what I'm told.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53- Really?- Yeah.- No, come on, Steve.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- You've got to have at least one pick, surely.- Oh, yes.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- OK, Caitlin, what about you?- Yeah, we'll spend it apart from a pound.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59Oh, really?
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Ooh, my goodness. Caroline's going to love you for that(!)
0:05:03 > 0:05:05- I know. - THEY LAUGH
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Right, OK, teams. Well, what do we need?
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- ALL:- Money!- Money, exactly. There we are.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- Lovely. Thank you.- Thank you. - There's the big money. £300 for you.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15- £300 for you, Reds.- Thank you. - I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Your experts await. Now, off you go.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- Woohoo!- Woohoo!
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Ooh, this is going to be an interesting one today.
0:05:24 > 0:05:25Today's teams will, of course,
0:05:25 > 0:05:28need a couple of experts to help them out.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31A big fan of the Reds, it's Richard Madley.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36And in the saddle for the Blues, it's Caroline Hawley.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- Have you got anything in mind on your list?- Yes, Richard.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43We are going for Art Deco jewellery.
0:05:43 > 0:05:44What are you looking for?
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Anything that catches my eye. I'm not quite sure.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- Quirky silver.- Quirky silver.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- I'd like to pick up a nice little bit of silver.- Great.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- No, no, we're not getting silver.- Aw.- No?
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Right, teams, your 60 minutes starts now.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- This is the place to start.- Ooh!
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Come on, then. Let's go.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Advertising signs always do well, but they should be...
0:06:08 > 0:06:10You kind of want them with an image.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Well, this lot aren't wasting any time.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Keep those eyes peeled, teams.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- Do you like propellers, Caitlin? - No, not particularly.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- All right.- They seem to sell, though, don't they?
0:06:20 > 0:06:21They sell, don't they?
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Seems quite nice. What sort of wood is that?
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- Think that's probably mahogany.- Wow.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- There's no price on it at all. - It's missing a few bits.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- And it's a bit... - Notably, the aeroplane.- Yes.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- THEY LAUGH - It's not going to fly.- No.- Yeah.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- It's damaged up the top and all. - Yeah, I'll pop that back.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Moving on, then, Blues. What have the Reds spotted?
0:06:40 > 0:06:45- Oh!- Chinese plaque, platter, charger.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Would that be pewter or...? No?
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- Well, it looks like copper and silver.- Copper?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51- Shall we have a look? - Yes, that would be brilliant.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Here is the dish itself.
0:06:53 > 0:06:59So, in terms of age, I would imagine it dates from the late 19th,
0:06:59 > 0:07:01- could be even early 20th century. - Right.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05It's copper, and this here is silver.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09- A silvered metal.- I like that. - The market for Chinese ceramics
0:07:09 > 0:07:13- and works of art is currently very strong.- Oh.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18And something like this might just catch the eye of a Chinese buyer.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- Yeah.- It's so unusual. - It is unusual, isn't it?- Yes, yeah.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- It caught your eye, caught my eye. - Yeah.- It caught your eye.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- Shall we have a little haggle?- Yes. - And here's Anne to talk price.
0:07:27 > 0:07:32- Hello.- We are very, very tempted by your Chinese platter.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34- 25 is the best on that.- Right.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38- Well, 25, I think, is a fair price. Are we happy?- Yes.- We're happy.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- Yes, we're happy with that. - Shall we then say sold?
0:07:40 > 0:07:42- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44We've got our first lot under our belt.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46- Woohoo!- And we're away.- Great.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- Thank you very much indeed. - Thank you.- Sold.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52One item down in under five minutes, Reds. Well done.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53And it looks as though Steve
0:07:53 > 0:07:56may well have spotted the Blues' first item.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Caroline, I quite like this. I think it's...
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- It's big, but I quite like it. It's nice.- It is.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- It's real Art Deco, isn't it, with its boar's eye dogs?- Yeah.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- I bet it's French.- Right, I see. - So, what do you like about that?
0:08:08 > 0:08:12- I just think it's really nice.- OK. - There's sort of movement and fluid.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Ah, good on you, Steve. Follow your heart.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Caitlin, Steve... Let's see what Caitlin thinks.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Caitlin, Steve's found something he loves.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- Hmm. - HE LAUGHS
0:08:21 > 0:08:25- Really?- Oh, dear. Poor Steve. - Let's see what Caitlin thinks.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27- Caitlin, Steve's... - SHE LAUGHS
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Is that a no, then, dear?
0:08:29 > 0:08:33- Yeah, that would be horrible in the house, wouldn't it?- Maybe not.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36So, do you two ever agree on anything at all?
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- Well, he agrees with me. Does that count?- I bet he does.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Right, come on, Steve. Let's go.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44I think we could have a bit of trouble on today's shop.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Oh, those Russian dolls up there.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- Oh, they are lovely. - Oh, they're lovely.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- Look at those.- Is there any value in those?- Well...- No?
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- They're gorgeous.- ..I mean, they're brand-new, aren't they?
0:08:56 > 0:09:00- That wouldn't work with our tactics. - Yes.- But where were we? Silver?
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- Jewellery? Art Deco? Bling? - Yes, yes. Come on, then. Yes.- Yeah.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04OK, we've got to keep going.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Exactly, Richard. Keep those girls focused.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Meanwhile, Caitlin has spotted
0:09:09 > 0:09:11a rather lovely pair of Art Deco chairs.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- Are we allowed to sit down, do you think?- Oh, go on. Why not?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Oh, yeah. They're quite comfortable, aren't they?
0:09:18 > 0:09:20- Oh, they're lovely. - Ooh, they're very comfy.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23You two, you look like you're shopping for home.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26We're shopping for profit, guys. Come on.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30- Right.- They are gorgeous chairs. - They are.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32You tell them, Caroline.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34You're handling this with military precision.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Talking of which...
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- I like that.- You said military stuff to me, didn't you?
0:09:38 > 0:09:41- I did, yeah.- Yeah. - So, we like the tunic.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Shall I just have a little look to see what the price is on it?
0:09:44 > 0:09:49- Yes, please.- Ooh, yes, please. - It's £35.- Ooh!- Wow.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51- Our price range. I like that. - That is our price range.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53I think that's very good.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55We need a nice, young man to...
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- Model it.- ..model it for us at the auction.- Yeah. Yeah, indeed.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59- Yes.- Yeah. What about you, Richard?
0:09:59 > 0:10:02If you turn the clock back a little bit.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06Aw, I think you'd look very dapper in that tunic, Mr Madley.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Would the hat come with the tunic? Would that be matching or...?
0:10:09 > 0:10:13- Yes, that is part of his dress uniform.- Yeah.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16And I think we should also enquire
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- about the price on the helmet. - I agree, yeah.- Yeah.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- Now, the stallholder's not here, but we can make an enquiry.- OK.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Time to have a word about the price.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Off you pop, then, Richard. Enquire away.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Meanwhile, Caroline's having words.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34- Right, I don't want to panic you, but I do just a little.- No, I know.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38We've got nearly 25 minutes done and I know you've been brilliant,
0:10:38 > 0:10:41you've been racing off and seeing lots of things,
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- but we've spent 25 minutes and we haven't got...- We need to buy.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46- We haven't found anything to buy. - Let's spend some money.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49That's more like it, team. Some positivity.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Back to the Reds, and Michael is here from the antique centre
0:10:52 > 0:10:53to get down to business.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59The best price that we could buy the tunic for today?
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Um, I've got £35 on it, so I think I could do it for 30.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- Ooh, sounds good.- Good, yeah.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- 30. Yeah, we like that for the tunic.- Yes, we do.- Yeah.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Now, a question about the peaked cap.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16- The price on that would be...? - That one up there is actually 48.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18I've got another one round the corner which is 25.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22- Ah.- Right. Could we have that one with that one?
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- I don't see why not. I think that'd be fine.- Ooh, OK.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27- So, 48, I think, was a bit rich for us today.- Yes.- Yeah.
0:11:27 > 0:11:32We like 25, within our budget, so putting the two together for £55.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- Not bad, is it?- I think that's a deal.- I think it's a deal.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38- Thank you.- Thank you. - Thank you very much.- Excellent.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41You Reds are on a roll. That's two items down.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Now, are the Blues any closer to finding their first buy?
0:11:44 > 0:11:47What do we think about this clock? I like that.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- I'm sort of drawn to Art Deco kind of...- Right. Well, it is.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- It's Art Deco, French.- All right.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55And it's known as a garniture de cheminee...
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- Oh, right. - ..which means there's the clock
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- and then the garniture, the two vases either side.- OK.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03So, that would sit on your fireplace or cheminee.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- I really like that.- There's a price. - Does your wife like it?
0:12:06 > 0:12:08- Ask your wife. - Do you like it, darling?- I love it.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Well, I never!
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- Steve!- The dance of joy. - I'll do my dance of joy.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Oh, my goodness. I'm doing a dance of joy, as well.
0:12:17 > 0:12:22- It's £95.- Oh.- Oh. Is that top end? Is that fair for it?
0:12:22 > 0:12:24I mean, what's auction price, do you think?
0:12:24 > 0:12:26- It is a retail price, so it needs to be lower.- Yes.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28We need a trade price on it.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- Do you want me to go and find the best price?- Yes, please.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34Yeah, if we could get it for 70, do you think that's a fair...?
0:12:34 > 0:12:3670? I daren't say no to you, Caitlin.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40- But I'm going to go and try. - You're learning fast.- I am learning.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Consider yourself told there, Caroline.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Whilst the Blues wait on a couple of prices,
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Richard has spotted something rather unusual.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51- What is it?- Yes? - I've got no idea.- Oh.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- Look at the...- The grain. - ..patination and grain...
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- Yeah, the grain's beautiful. - ..of that wood.- Yeah, it is.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59- That wood is probably South American...- Wow.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01..or South African, and it's either...
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- It feels nice, too. - ..a zebrawood or a stinkwood.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- Look at the weight of that. - Oh, my goodness.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- Oh, imagine it full of biscuits. - Feel the weight. Oh, hello!
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- Crumbs!- Heavy, it is, indeed. - I didn't realise you were...
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Well, I'm just thinking in terms of the auction that we're going to.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20There'll be collectors there who buy treen.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Now, treen is a lovely term
0:13:23 > 0:13:27- which encapsulates all items made out of trees.- Oh.- Right.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30And I can imagine that a treen collector
0:13:30 > 0:13:32would see a box like that and think,
0:13:32 > 0:13:35"That is going to polish up really well."
0:13:35 > 0:13:39It's got a price on it that I don't think is out of the way.
0:13:39 > 0:13:40- Yes.- £45.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Time to strike a deal.
0:13:42 > 0:13:47Ah, Hannah. Could you let us know the best price
0:13:47 > 0:13:50on the covered snakewood, stinkwood, turned wood bowl?
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- 40.- OK.- OK.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55- Thank you.- We're going to put it into the mix
0:13:55 > 0:13:57- and we may well come back to you on that.- OK.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Thank you very much indeed.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02That's another one to ponder on. Time to wander on.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03Ooh, Caroline's back with a price.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- Hello.- Hello.- Hello.- Yes? - I have news.- Right.- Good.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10The clock garniture, that could be 70,
0:14:10 > 0:14:13but - and it's a big but - it's not working.
0:14:13 > 0:14:14I think we better move on.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16I think it might bomb, even if we buy it at 70.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Back to the drawing board, then, team.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23All three items still to find and only 25 minutes left on the clock.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Let's check in with the Reds.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28This is an interesting market. Vintage luggage.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32I mean, again, something that, you know, years ago, it literally got...
0:14:32 > 0:14:36Well, I would say got thrown out, but now people sell hat boxes and...
0:14:36 > 0:14:40It's in fashion today, isn't it? That one on the top there is lovely.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- Yeah, no, there's...- Lovely shape. - It's an interesting market.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46From vintage luggage to vintage clothing,
0:14:46 > 0:14:52Steve and Caroline had taken a keen interest in a 1950s wedding dress.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55- Do vintage clothes sell? - Yeah, vintage clothes do sell,
0:14:55 > 0:14:58and there's an awful lot of brides nowadays
0:14:58 > 0:15:01that would rather buy a vintage dress.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03- Over something new? - Yeah, exactly.- Right.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- It's very heavy. Wow. - Yeah, look at the sleeves.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08- Very, very elegant.- Yes.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10- Caitlin, what do you think? - What do you think of this?
0:15:10 > 0:15:12That's really nice, isn't it?
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Crikey! I don't believe it. It's another item they both like.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20- Is it silk?- Yeah, beautiful silk. - Can we get it down?- It's gorgeous.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23- Absolutely gorgeous, isn't it? - It is lovely.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25- How much is it? Does it have a price on it?- I don't know.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- Let me go and have a look. - OK. Can we get it down, as well?
0:15:27 > 0:15:30- I'll go and find the lady. Hang on. - OK, thanks.- Thanks very much.- Hello?
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Oof, you're earning your stripes today, Caroline.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Meanwhile, Richard and the Reds have found some pewter.
0:15:37 > 0:15:38It looks heavy, doesn't it?
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Well, it might look it, but, actually, do you know what?
0:15:41 > 0:15:44It's not really heavy. It's heavy in terms of quality.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48This is pewter and it's of the Art Nouveau period.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- So, I'm just picking that out as an example.- Look at the balloons.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53- They look like balloons. - I'm going to put that on the list.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55- If you hang on to that one there...- Sure.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57..because the other one I'm going to bring out is...
0:15:57 > 0:16:01- Interesting, that one.- Well, this one also looks interesting to me.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- And I don't know...- Is it a tray? - It's a tray.- It is.- Good spot.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06- This is copper...- Ah, OK.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10..that's been inlaid with some form of silver metal.
0:16:10 > 0:16:15- A price of £90.- 90. - It's probably a little bit tired.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- Yes.- That's what puts me off. - I agree.- I agree with that.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19- Whereas this one...- But that one...
0:16:19 > 0:16:22- Yeah, got something about it. - I think so.- I think it's beautiful.
0:16:22 > 0:16:27- So, is it better than our stinkwood or zebrawood box?- No.- Not sure.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- Well, Helen? - I think I want to go for the box.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- Helen wants the box. - It's unusual.- I like this.- Oh!
0:16:33 > 0:16:37Uh-oh. Trouble in the ranks with the Reds.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41However, in the Blue camp, they're now all getting along swimmingly.
0:16:41 > 0:16:42- Well...- Gosh, it's heavy.
0:16:42 > 0:16:49- ..the good news is this lovely dress can be £75.- Ooh, wow.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- I think we should go for it. - Yes.- It's very nice.- Yeah.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- Do you both like it?- As long as you think that we can make money on it.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59- Well, down from 125 to 75. - OK.- Right.- Let's go for it.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- So, is that a go?- Yes.- That's a go. Let's go.- Yes! Brilliant!
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Brilliant! I'd shake your hands,
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- but I'm holding the dress. - THEY LAUGH
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Hurrah! Finally, your first item, Blues.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Now, you best get cracking. You've only got 15 minutes left.
0:17:13 > 0:17:18- I still prefer the box. - Well, I prefer that.- It's unusual.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20- Hmm.- Well, we've...- Richard?
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Well, I'm thinking in terms of the auction,
0:17:23 > 0:17:29and I think that, although £55 is a fair price on this,
0:17:29 > 0:17:34I think the covered box at 40 could deliver us a higher profit.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37You're siding with Helen, you mean?
0:17:37 > 0:17:39- OK, that's fine. - Oh, dear, dear.- That's fine.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Awkward.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43- It's the box. The box it is. - Fine, Helen.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45- No, I wasn't high-fiving you. - Box, box, box!
0:17:45 > 0:17:47I was, "That's fine, Helen."
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Even more awkward.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- Thank you, Richard. Thank you. - Go on. Go on.- Go on.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Nice work, ladies. Two items down and only one to go.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00Now, with time ticking, the Blues still have two items to find.
0:18:02 > 0:18:03- Caroline.- Yes?- Come and look.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- Coming, Caitlin! - This is very bizarre.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09I don't even know what it is, other than a husband beater.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- Oh, dear.- But it's really nice.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15I don't actually know what it is. Looks almost like a fan,
0:18:15 > 0:18:18- but you'd knock yourself out, wouldn't you?- To make butter.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20- What do you like about it? - I don't like it.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- You don't like it?- I don't like it. - I really like it. It's £18.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25But we want to spend big.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Hmm. I think we all know the way this is going.
0:18:27 > 0:18:28- Do you like it, dear?- Yes, I do.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- I think you should be allowed one. - OK, well done.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Ah, Steve. You've buckled under pressure.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35- Is this yours? - Yes, it is. Yeah.- Oh, right.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38- Can we just have a word about it, please?- Yeah.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39Do you know what it is?
0:18:39 > 0:18:44I actually don't know what it is. It's clearly Japanese and handmade.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46- Hand-painted on the back.- Yeah. - It's lovely. It's a lovely thing.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50- What's the best price you could do on that?- Um, 15.- 15.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54- Hmm. Can we go 12? - Yeah, I think we could go 12.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58- Excellent.- That would be fine. - I think you're amazing, Caitlin.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00- Done deal.- Done deal. Thank you.- Lovely.- Excellent.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- We'll have that. Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Not much of a say in that one, Steve, but nevertheless,
0:19:06 > 0:19:10that's two items down with only one to go and five minutes left.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Now, back to the Reds, who are getting ready
0:19:12 > 0:19:16to seal their third and final deal on the tree box.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Excellent. On that note, we'd very much like to have it.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- Thank you very much indeed. - Thank you.- Brilliant.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24- We're all happy?- Yes.- Yes. - Good. Excellent.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Well done, Reds. That's you done and dusted.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Now, Blues, three minutes left.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33- What do you think of that?- Ooh. Now, that's nice, nice quality.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35- Rosewood.- Yeah. Yes.- Rosewood?
0:19:35 > 0:19:37It's 295. Do you think we're going to...?
0:19:37 > 0:19:39- How much money have we got left? - We've got 213.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- Do you want me to find the bottom line?- Yes.- Yes, please.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44- You find the bottom line. - Right.- OK.- I'll be back.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47We'll go and have a look over there. How much time do we have left?
0:19:47 > 0:19:48Oh, about five minutes.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Er, I think you'll find that's more like two minutes, Steve.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53This could mean a panic buy.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- Steve!- Oh, hello. - Come, come. I have news.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58- Ooh, yes?- Oh, good, good, good.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00- I've found the lovely owner of this fine thing.- Yeah.- Yes.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03I asked her would she take 212
0:20:03 > 0:20:06- and yes, she'll take it. - THEY CHEER
0:20:06 > 0:20:09Nice work, Caroline. That's it, Blues.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Your three items are in the bag.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16ELEPHANT TRUMPETS OK, teams, pack your trunks.
0:20:16 > 0:20:17Your time is up.
0:20:17 > 0:20:18Great. Well done.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Let's check out what the Red team bought.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26First up was their copper plaque, which set them back £25.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31Next, it was the army jacket and cap which caught their attention.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33£55 paid.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37And finally, it was the hardwood box and cover.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39They did a deal at £40.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Girls, you promised me bling.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- What happened? - We didn't get any bling.
0:20:45 > 0:20:50- No, you didn't bring bling.- Sorry. - I know.- Oh, never mind.- Never mind.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52What was your favourite item, Hells Bells? What did you buy?
0:20:52 > 0:20:56- Our favourite item is the military tunic with the peaked cap.- OK.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00- A bit of men in uniform.- Yes. - OK.- And bling on the buttons.
0:21:00 > 0:21:01Bling on the buttons.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03- We had a little bit of bling. - Ah, OK. Happy days. Phew!- Yes.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07So, Charlotte, you agree with Helen about what is your favourite item,
0:21:07 > 0:21:09but what do you think will make the biggest profit?
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- The military uniform. - Oh, really?- Yes.- Yes.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13- It's all about the tunic, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- So, how much did you spend, girls? - We spent £120.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19£120. So, I need £180...
0:21:19 > 0:21:21- Yes.- ..of leftover readies, if you don't mind.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23- Leftover lolly.- Ooh, fantastic.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27- There we go, Richard. £180. - Christina, thank you.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29It's burning a hole in your pocket now.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31- I'm under real pressure.- Yes.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34But I did spot something on the way round
0:21:34 > 0:21:37that I think might just appeal to both of you.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- Both? Gosh, OK.- So, leave it with me.- OK, good.- Brilliant.
0:21:40 > 0:21:41Best of luck with that, Richard.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Now, let's go and check out what the Blue team bought.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Their first item was the gorgeous wedding dress.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Price paid - £75.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Next, the Japanese paddle cost them £12.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59And finally, the two-seater sofa cost them £212.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05Do you know, I love a team that has a plan and sticks to it.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07- Well, yeah. - THEY LAUGH
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- So, which was your favourite item, Steve?- The vintage wedding dress.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- A vintage wedding dress. - Yes.- Sounds beautiful.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14Caitlin, what was your favourite item?
0:22:14 > 0:22:17My favourite item was the sofa -
0:22:17 > 0:22:19the two-seater sofa that we bought at the end.
0:22:19 > 0:22:20- Right at the end.- At the end.- Yeah.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- Do you think it's going to make you the most profit?- No.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26I think the one that will bring the largest profit
0:22:26 > 0:22:28is the Japanese paddle.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30That'll bring you the biggest profit. Steve, what do you think?
0:22:30 > 0:22:33I think the Japanese bat will bring the most,
0:22:33 > 0:22:35even though it's the one I don't like.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- Caroline, they're in agreement! - They are!
0:22:38 > 0:22:40- THEY LAUGH - It's amazing, Christina!
0:22:40 > 0:22:44So, you guys, overall, spent £299, so I would like
0:22:44 > 0:22:48one whole Great British pound of leftover lolly, please.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Thank you very much. Caroline, what's your plan?
0:22:50 > 0:22:52I'm going to look and look and look...
0:22:52 > 0:22:55- You'll look and look. - ..till I find something.- Brilliant.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57OK, well, while Caroline goes off and has a panic,
0:22:57 > 0:22:59we'll pop off to the flicks.
0:23:08 > 0:23:09From the dawn of early cinema,
0:23:09 > 0:23:11actors have been swapping the Welsh Valleys
0:23:11 > 0:23:14for a life in the Hollywood Hills.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16But who would think that a Welsh actor
0:23:16 > 0:23:19at the turn of the 20th century would leave the Valleys
0:23:19 > 0:23:23and end up as one of the superstars of the Hollywood silent movie era?
0:23:24 > 0:23:26His name was Gareth Hughes
0:23:26 > 0:23:29and I've come to the Cross Hands Cinema in Llanelli,
0:23:29 > 0:23:32where he was born, to meet historian Stephen Lyons
0:23:32 > 0:23:34who can tell me more about him.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36How lovely to see you.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Gareth Hughes was born in Llanelli
0:23:40 > 0:23:43and his father was a tin plate worker.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Gareth had performance in his blood.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49He used to perform plays in a pigsty at the bottom of the garden.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52- He was born for the stage.- Yeah. - So, where did he start?
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Well, he got on the train, he went to London,
0:23:54 > 0:23:57and then he got involved with a company of Welsh players.
0:23:57 > 0:24:02Towards the end of 1913, they played Change by J O Francis,
0:24:02 > 0:24:04and then that company took the play to New York.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06So, what was next in his agenda?
0:24:06 > 0:24:10It was fairly standard for good actors to be picked up to do films.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15He appeared in a film called Mrs Wiggs Of The Cabbage Patch...
0:24:15 > 0:24:18- Great title! - ..playing young Billy Wiggs.
0:24:19 > 0:24:24He goes to Hollywood in 1919, and by the end of 1920,
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Metro Pictures had offered him a contract.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29He made a film called The Midnight Girl
0:24:29 > 0:24:32starring Bela Lugosi and Lila Lee.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38That was a rather good film for him.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40And what was he earning in his heyday in Hollywood?
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Up to 2,000 a week.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46He had a redwood lodge up in Laurel Canyon
0:24:46 > 0:24:49where he had horses and a chauffeur and a groom.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51- A very glamorous lifestyle. - Absolutely.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56Then, later '20s, he didn't continue his contract with Metro.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59He still worked intermittently briefly after that.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00One, two films, maybe.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03So, his Hollywood career potentially was ending.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06- Why wasn't he being the leading man at this time?- He looked too young.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09He was beginning to age, but he still looked like a boy.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12He played a lot of sensitive parts.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16He wasn't rugged enough. He just didn't quite fit anywhere.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19He started doing theatre again '25-ish, 1927,
0:25:19 > 0:25:23and then, of course, you've got the disaster of the Wall Street Crash.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Losing a fortune in the Depression
0:25:25 > 0:25:28and no longer able to command top dollar as an actor,
0:25:28 > 0:25:32Gareth embarked on a new venture - directing plays for the church.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36He'd spent so much time with these religious-type dramas
0:25:36 > 0:25:39in churches with priests with the paraphernalia,
0:25:39 > 0:25:41it had an effect on him.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Such a profound effect that in the late '30s,
0:25:43 > 0:25:46he literally fell to his knees and had a calling from God.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50He decided to go off and take holy orders
0:25:50 > 0:25:52and assumed the name Brother David.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56- Why Brother David?- Dewi Sant - the patron saint of Wales...
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- Ah.- ..so, David. The Order of the Holy Cross
0:25:59 > 0:26:01asked Gareth if he'd like to go as a lay missionary.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05He was sent out as a missionary to work with Native Americans.
0:26:05 > 0:26:10It was a humanitarian mission of an astonishing proportion,
0:26:10 > 0:26:12and that is how he is still remembered.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14He passed away in 1965.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Well, Stephen, thank you so much for sharing his story with us.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- It's been just a remarkable story... - My pleasure.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- ..and, really, a remarkable man... - Thank you.- ..so thank you so much.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Right, now, let's see how our contestants' stories unfold
0:26:25 > 0:26:26down at the auction.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39We have travelled from Cardiff an hour west
0:26:39 > 0:26:41to be at Peter Francis Auctioneers and Valuers
0:26:41 > 0:26:44with auctioneer Charles Hampshire. Thanks for having us, Charles.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46- Pleasure to have you here. - It's a pleasure to be here.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49- Now, we've got our Red team's offerings over here...- Excellent.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51..first one of which is this little copper plaque here.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54- What's your thoughts on that? - We think probably,
0:26:54 > 0:26:57you know, slightly vague, but of Eastern origin.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00- Mm-hm.- Nice dragon decoration with the semiprecious stones.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03It's decorative, so it has a chance, for sure.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05So, what's your estimate on that piece, Charles?
0:27:05 > 0:27:07We've gone for £25 to £35.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11- OK. Well, they'll be delighted. They paid £25 only for it.- OK.
0:27:11 > 0:27:12- So, that's good, isn't it? - That's good, yes.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Now, their second item, it's both their favourites,
0:27:15 > 0:27:18- and they think it's going to make the most profit...- Right.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20- It's the military tunic and hat here...- I see.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22..which is rather smart, isn't it?
0:27:22 > 0:27:25- What's your thoughts about that? - Rather smart, I agree.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Unfortunately, we're missing one or two elements to it -
0:27:27 > 0:27:29some buttons, some insignia.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33So, I agree with you - smart but not complete, so that's...
0:27:33 > 0:27:35And collectors who want these...
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Well, they want it exactly in perfect condition, really, so...
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- With buttons? - With the whole shebang, yes.- Yeah.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43And the hat, obviously, is a...
0:27:43 > 0:27:47I think it's a sort of marriage, an addition, you know, to go with...
0:27:47 > 0:27:48So, what's your estimate on that?
0:27:48 > 0:27:52- Again, £25 to £35. - Is that your figure of the day?
0:27:52 > 0:27:54- It will be, yes. Yeah. - SHE LAUGHS
0:27:54 > 0:27:56- Keep it low and hopefully satisfy everyone.- OK.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Well, they might be struggling. They paid £55 for it,
0:27:58 > 0:28:00so they might be struggling with that.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03With all the bits and pieces, I would have been more positive.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06- But in that condition, maybe lose a few pounds on that one?- I think so.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09- Do my best.- OK. Now, we've got their third and final item here.- Yes.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13- It's this rather unusual vessel, shall we say?- Yes. Yeah, I like it.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16I like the grain to it, that sort of ribbed feature to it.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19- Nice thing. I like it, yes.- OK.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22So, what's your estimate on our vessel over here, Charles?
0:28:22 > 0:28:25- It's a hat-trick. It's £25 to £35. - SHE LAUGHS
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Let me guess, yeah. THEY LAUGH
0:28:27 > 0:28:30- Now, they paid £40 for it.- OK.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32I think it has potential to maybe just about get there.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35- The more I look at it, the more I like it, so we'll see.- OK, good.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38So, potentially, we have a break even and maybe two losses. Maybe.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40- Yes.- So, they might need their bonus buy.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Let's go and have a little look at it.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45Richard, you were left with the sizeable sum
0:28:45 > 0:28:46of £180 of leftover lolly.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50- The girls were very generous, I think.- Yes, we were.- We were.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52- Show us, what did you invest it in?- Well...
0:28:52 > 0:28:55- BOTH:- Ooh!- ..this little dish.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57- We do remember it.- Yes, we do. - Yes, we remember.
0:28:57 > 0:29:02- The Art Nouveau pewter dish. - Yeah, yeah.- Made round about 1900.
0:29:02 > 0:29:07- I found a Dutch maker's mark - L Rainier of Holland.- OK.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09In my opinion, it's a stylish dish.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12So, girls, did you see this on the way round when you were shopping?
0:29:12 > 0:29:15- Yes, we did.- We did.- Yes. - Did you like it?- We did, yes.- Yeah.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18- We thought it was lovely. - Splendid.- Yeah, pretty.- We did.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21It's of great quality. I like, particularly, the decoration.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25I like the flowers, the leaves and the little bug.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27How much did you pay for it, Richard?
0:29:27 > 0:29:32- Well, it was priced at £75. - Right.- Right.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35I knocked him down a bit, got down to £55.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37- Ooh, excellent.- Good. - What do you think it'll make?
0:29:37 > 0:29:40Hopefully, I can see a modest profit.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43Perhaps £10 or £15 still left in it.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45It's the sort of thing that the internet might like,
0:29:45 > 0:29:48- I think, isn't it? It's a lovely thing.- Very much so.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51Let's hope there are Dutch Art Nouveau pewter collectors
0:29:51 > 0:29:54- online at the auction today. - Let's hope so.- Yeah, let's hope.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57- What do you think, girls?- Yes, we like it.- Yes, I'm pleased with it.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59Good. Excellent. Richard's done you proud?
0:29:59 > 0:30:01- Yes.- Yes, he has.- Fantastic. Great.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03- Well, look, you don't need to decide now.- OK.- Don't worry.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06Hold that thought. Have a think about it.
0:30:06 > 0:30:07But for the benefit of those at home,
0:30:07 > 0:30:09let's see what the auctioneer thinks
0:30:09 > 0:30:12of Richard's rather lovely little leaf dish.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14- So, here it is. There we go, Charles.- Excellent.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16- What do you make of that? - I'm glad to see it again.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18The more I see it, the better it is.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22Lots of decoration going on and nicely marked to the handle here.
0:30:22 > 0:30:27So, I think, again, maybe we've been a little bit "come and buy me".
0:30:27 > 0:30:30- £20 to £30, we've said. - That could be a bargain for someone.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33- I think so, at that level. - OK. Richard paid £55 for it.- OK.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35But I agree with you. I think the more you look at it,
0:30:35 > 0:30:37the more you see it's a lovely thing.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40OK, so, let's go over to the Blue team,
0:30:40 > 0:30:43whose first offering of the day is that rather lovely wedding dress.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46It certainly is lovely, in good condition, silk, lined,
0:30:46 > 0:30:48- nice decoration. I like it. - Would you wear it?
0:30:48 > 0:30:51- On the right day, yes. - SHE LAUGHS
0:30:51 > 0:30:54- Now, this was Steve's favourite item of the day.- OK, right.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56So, he really, really rates it.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58I know there isn't a huge market
0:30:58 > 0:31:01- for vintage wedding dresses, potentially.- No, there isn't.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05- I think we'll be relying on the internet buyers on this one...- Yeah.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07- ..out there watching us bidding live.- Yeah.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10- So, probably won't be something bought in the room.- OK.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12- So, what's your estimate on that? - We've put 30 to 50,
0:31:12 > 0:31:15- probably for the reasons that you've just pointed out.- Yeah, OK.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18- Well, they paid £75 for it.- OK.- OK.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21So, we might be struggling a little bit on that one.
0:31:21 > 0:31:22- Yes.- Let's hope we get better with
0:31:22 > 0:31:25- this rather unusual paddle over here.- Yes.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29- Yeah, curious item, for sure.- Yeah. Have you ever seen one before?
0:31:29 > 0:31:31- No, I can't say I have.- No. - I'm not sure I'll see another one.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33No, I think you might be right.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36I mean, do we think it might be something that's made up? Is it...?
0:31:36 > 0:31:37It quite possibly could be.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40You know, the paddle and then having this decoration applied afterwards.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42OK. I mean, it's certainly unusual
0:31:42 > 0:31:44and you say that you have potentially good buyers
0:31:44 > 0:31:47- for Oriental wares, so... - Yes, I think so.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50..are we predicting somewhat of a profit on that, hopefully?
0:31:50 > 0:31:54- We've put £15 to £20.- OK, well, they paid £12 for it...- OK.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56- ..so we might get there. - We might be positive there.- Yes.
0:31:56 > 0:32:00So, their final item is that really rather lovely rosewood sofa...
0:32:00 > 0:32:02- Yes.- ..which I think you've catalogued as Victorian.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05- It was bought as Edwardian. - Yeah, having looked at it,
0:32:05 > 0:32:08and with a colleague, as well, we both think it's late Victorian.
0:32:08 > 0:32:09It's good quality rosewood. It's inlaid.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12It's better that it's Victorian rather than Edwardian,
0:32:12 > 0:32:14- so we've gone with that and we're happy.- Great.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16But maybe the furniture marketplace
0:32:16 > 0:32:19isn't quite as strong as it used to be, so...
0:32:19 > 0:32:21So, what do you think, estimate-wise, on the sofa?
0:32:21 > 0:32:25- Estimate-wise, I think we've put £100 to £150.- OK.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28Not long ago, I would have been saying maybe £200 to £300,
0:32:28 > 0:32:29but we have gone that way more recently.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32- A bit more conservative.- Yeah. - I would agree with you.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34- They're not the easiest of sellers, are they?- No.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36- Now, this was Caitlin's favourite item...- OK.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38..and it was a purchase with the heart...
0:32:38 > 0:32:43- OK.- ..and she paid £212 for it. - £212. Well, we might get there.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46You know, two or three private buyers on the day, might get there.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48- You never know.- Exactly. - You never know. OK, super.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51- Well, look, it seems like they might need their bonus buy...- Yes.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54..so let's go and have a little look at it.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57- You kind, delightful couple, you. - Oh, thanks.- Thank you very much.
0:32:57 > 0:33:02- You left Caroline with all of one Great British pound...- Yes.
0:33:02 > 0:33:03..of leftover lolly.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05Caroline, what did you spend your pound on?
0:33:05 > 0:33:10Well, it wasn't easy, but...cup of tea?
0:33:10 > 0:33:12- Ooh!- Oh, my God. That's hideous. - THEY LAUGH
0:33:12 > 0:33:15- Oh, no!- Oh, my goodness. - That's a big mug of tea.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18- Well, you try and spend a pound. - Let me have a look at it.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21That is true. It is only a pound, I suppose. OK.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23OK, Caroline, tell us the thought process
0:33:23 > 0:33:25behind your buying of that cup and saucer.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29- Well, it was desperate... - THEY LAUGH
0:33:29 > 0:33:31..but this is wonderful quality.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35Made by the Royal Worcester Group. It's called Palissy ware.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38It has this wonderful satin glaze to it.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41Perfect condition. Marvellous breakfast cup and saucer.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44So, Steve...? Obviously, Caitlin, you're not overly enamoured with it.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47- No, I'm... No. - OK, Steve, what's your thoughts?
0:33:47 > 0:33:50- It's all right. It's good quality. - Any better?- It seems all right.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52- Good.- How much do you think it's going to make?
0:33:52 > 0:33:54Well, it's got to make a tenner, hasn't it?
0:33:54 > 0:33:57- Oh, that's very good profit.- I would think so, yeah.- Yes.- Brilliant.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00OK, well, guys, you don't have to decide now.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02- Have a think about it. Maybe discuss it.- Yeah.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04But for the benefit of those at home,
0:34:04 > 0:34:06let's see what the auctioneer thinks
0:34:06 > 0:34:09of Caroline's rather divisive bonus buy.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12- So, dear Caroline was left with only a pound...- Wow, OK.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15- ..and this is what she managed to get...- She's done well.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17- SHE LAUGHS - You know, a pound isn't much.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19- ..with only a pound.- OK. - SHE LAUGHS
0:34:19 > 0:34:21What's your thoughts?
0:34:21 > 0:34:24I mean, I wouldn't want to pay too much more than that, but...
0:34:24 > 0:34:26- SHE LAUGHS - ..you know, it's a good size.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29- It's Royal Worcester, Palissy. - That's very polite.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31And she'll see a profit on a pound, that's for sure.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33Good. Well, that's hugely reassuring.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35- I mean, it's a breakfast mug, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37- It's a good-sized breakfast cup. - Exactly.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40- Good start to the day.- Exactly, yes. So, what are your predictions?
0:34:40 > 0:34:44We're looking at a tenfold profit. £10 to £15 at least.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46Amazing. Caroline will be thrilled.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48- Wonderful.- Will you be taking the sale for us?- I will indeed.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51Fantastic. We're hugely looking forward to it.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55Thank you, sir. £8 in the aisle. Sold at £8 to you there.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58At £20. 2. 5.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00How are you feeling? Hells Bells, you're very quiet.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02- This is out of character. - I'm excited but nervous.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05- Excited but nervous?- Yeah. - OK, Charlotte, how are you feeling?
0:35:05 > 0:35:07- Palpitations.- Really?
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Now, your first purchase was the really lovely copper plaque
0:35:10 > 0:35:12with the cabochon stones around the outside.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14It's coming up now. Let's see what it goes for.
