Today, we are in the market town of Leominster in Herefordshire,

0:00:020:00:05

and in the centre of the town, stands the

0:00:050:00:06

Priory Church of St Peter and St Paul,

0:00:060:00:10

which dates to the middle of the 12th century.

0:00:100:00:12

BELLS CHIME

0:00:120:00:15

These bells are used for calling

0:00:160:00:18

the people of Leominster to prayer, and today, they're used for

0:00:180:00:21

calling the Red and Blue team to town,

0:00:210:00:23

so let's go Bargain Hunting.

0:00:230:00:25

Leominster is a

0:00:540:00:55

small town with a population of just 11,000 people.

0:00:550:00:59

But it's big on antiques, with shops lining the streets.

0:00:590:01:02

Our contestants will be spoilt for choice,

0:01:020:01:04

but how will they get on today?

0:01:040:01:06

Let's take a sneaky peek at what's coming up.

0:01:060:01:09

There's fighting talk on the Red team.

0:01:110:01:14

We've gone straight from amble, quite liked it to...

0:01:140:01:17

-ANGRILY:

-..now we've got to really nail somebody!

0:01:170:01:20

There's disarray on the Blue team.

0:01:200:01:23

Where's he gone? Dexter!

0:01:230:01:25

Where has he gone?

0:01:250:01:27

But it's smiles all round when it comes to auction.

0:01:280:01:32

This is incredible!

0:01:320:01:34

Yay! Profit!

0:01:340:01:35

This has been a nice sale then. And done, thank you.

0:01:350:01:39

But before all that, it's time to meet our wonderful teams today.

0:01:390:01:42

And talk about level pegging,

0:01:420:01:44

because I'm surrounded by four men who are all friends,

0:01:440:01:47

all very similar in age, and all here to do some Bargain Hunting.

0:01:470:01:51

-Hello to you all. ALL:

-Hello.

-Hello.

0:01:510:01:53

Let's start with our Red team today, Robert and John.

0:01:530:01:56

Now, Robert, I'm going straight to you.

0:01:560:01:58

Tell us how you guys know one another.

0:01:580:01:59

We've worked in the same company for nine years.

0:01:590:02:02

I'm main production manager, drawing maps and books.

0:02:020:02:05

And John's in the research team.

0:02:050:02:07

And in the same company, and we're just good friends.

0:02:070:02:09

Good mates, good pals, that's what it's all about.

0:02:090:02:11

Now, you're a bit of a fitness fanatic too?

0:02:110:02:13

Yes, we both go to gym

0:02:130:02:15

and this is how our love of Bargain Hunt came about.

0:02:150:02:17

We watch it at the gym.

0:02:170:02:19

Does it sort of spur you on when you see people doing well?

0:02:190:02:21

Does your heart rate go up and does it slow

0:02:210:02:23

when they're doing badly?

0:02:230:02:24

When there's a bargain, I can row as fast as I can, and

0:02:240:02:27

when someone doesn't do too well, well, you know,

0:02:270:02:30

I just hit the running machine, a little jog.

0:02:300:02:32

But how good are you at collecting antiques?

0:02:320:02:34

I used to collect a lot of marbles when I was younger.

0:02:340:02:37

And I like the colours of the marbles, so something colourful

0:02:370:02:39

and something interesting, that's what I'm looking for today.

0:02:390:02:42

-And hoping not to lose your marbles?

-Absolutely.

-LAUGHS:

-Yes, yeah.

0:02:420:02:45

Let's just move swiftly on from that to you, John,

0:02:450:02:47

because you also love to work out.

0:02:470:02:50

Yeah, I mean, I go to the gym and I run and swim,

0:02:500:02:53

but I also like going to circuits classes as well.

0:02:530:02:55

It's quite similar to Bargain Hunt, actually, there will be a lot of

0:02:550:02:58

sweating and crying today. I hope you're prepared for that.

0:02:580:03:01

I'm ready for that, of course. Yeah.

0:03:010:03:02

Now it's time to go in front of the nation

0:03:020:03:04

and see how good you are at collecting antiques in an hour.

0:03:040:03:08

We've got a plan. We've got a tactic.

0:03:080:03:10

We know roughly how much we want to spend on our items,

0:03:100:03:13

and how much we want to leave for our expert as well.

0:03:130:03:15

Well, if I were the Blue team, I'd be terrified.

0:03:150:03:18

So I'm going to turn to them and see their reaction.

0:03:180:03:21

Dexter, Chris, are you terrified?

0:03:210:03:22

-No, I don't think so. Are you scared, Chris?

-Never.

-No.

0:03:220:03:25

Not fazed at all.

0:03:250:03:27

Now, you guys have known one another for yonks.

0:03:270:03:29

-Tell me, Dexter, how did you meet?

-We met in school, year seven.

0:03:290:03:32

About 11 years old.

0:03:320:03:33

Locked eyes across the room, and we've never looked back, really.

0:03:340:03:37

Tell me what it is that you do for a living.

0:03:370:03:39

I'm a civil engineer,

0:03:390:03:42

and I also do sort of procurement and contract management.

0:03:420:03:45

Oh, right, OK. Tell us what it is that you did for charity?

0:03:450:03:48

Yeah, in 2008 I did a skydive for charity. A naked skydive.

0:03:480:03:53

-So in the nude...

-In the nude.

-Tell me it wasn't a tandem.

0:03:530:03:56

No, it wasn't a tandem.

0:03:560:03:57

THEY LAUGH

0:03:570:03:59

And I don't suppose they would let a person on their own

0:03:590:04:02

skydive in the nude if they weren't already quite an experienced

0:04:020:04:05

-skydiver...

-That's right, yeah.

-..so you've done a lot of these?

0:04:050:04:07

Yeah, yeah, I've done a few before. And obviously you have to get

0:04:070:04:10

up to a certain level of experience

0:04:100:04:12

-before you can do your solo skydive, yeah.

-With your kit off.

0:04:120:04:14

Exactly, yeah. Take it to the next level.

0:04:140:04:16

You're a bit of a sort of bedroom DJ, is that correct?

0:04:160:04:18

Yeah, a little bit of a bedroom DJ, yeah.

0:04:180:04:20

Yeah, for a few years, since my sort of mid-teens,

0:04:200:04:23

just sort of deejaying with vinyl records

0:04:230:04:25

and sort of making beats on the computer and things like that.

0:04:250:04:29

Yeah, it's what I do for a hobby.

0:04:290:04:30

Well, let's move on to you, Chris.

0:04:300:04:32

-You're quite musical too, is that correct?

-Well, I play the guitar.

0:04:320:04:35

I recently passed Grade 4, so I'm sitting Grade 5 at the moment.

0:04:350:04:38

I like blues, blues guitar.

0:04:380:04:41

Do you have a favourite tune that you like to play on the guitar?

0:04:410:04:43

-I play Blackbird by The Beatles a lot.

-Oh, lovely tune.

0:04:430:04:46

-Finger picking style.

-Oh, cool. Oh, great. But what about your tactics?

0:04:460:04:50

We need to know if you're planning

0:04:500:04:52

on playing a certain way today between you.

0:04:520:04:54

My father-in-law told me to spend all the money, but I'm not sure.

0:04:540:04:57

I think I'd like to buy something quite cheap

0:04:570:04:59

-and then sell it for a big price.

-Sounds like a plan.

0:04:590:05:01

That would be good for me. What about you, Dex?

0:05:010:05:03

Yeah, buy low, sell high.

0:05:030:05:05

So let me tell you, I've got something to give to you.

0:05:050:05:08

First, I'm going to hand it to the Reds. It's £300 and spend it wisely.

0:05:080:05:11

-Secondly, it's going to you, Blues.

-Thank you very much.

0:05:110:05:14

And the same advice.

0:05:140:05:15

Spend it wisely and off you go! And best of luck to all of you!

0:05:150:05:18

Well, let's hope these boys are all best of friends by the

0:05:180:05:21

end of the Bargain Hunt hour.

0:05:210:05:23

Let's meet the experts.

0:05:250:05:26

Putting his oar in for the Reds, it's Paul Laidlaw.

0:05:290:05:32

And putting his back into it for the Blues, its Mark Ashley.

0:05:330:05:37

Rob, John, you guys are smart fellas, aren't you?

0:05:380:05:41

You've been thinking about this. You've got a plan, have you not?

0:05:410:05:44

Yeah, we have, absolutely.

0:05:440:05:45

We're Bargain Hunting. What are we looking for?

0:05:450:05:48

I think I'm looking for something musical.

0:05:480:05:50

-Dexter.

-Yeah, some sporting memorabilia maybe,

0:05:500:05:52

something along those lines.

0:05:520:05:53

We're getting hard, fast, cut-throat. We're going to win.

0:05:530:05:56

-Hard and fast, I get. But cut-throat?

-That's right, yeah.

0:05:560:05:58

Right, teams, you're on the clock. Those 60 minutes start now.

0:05:580:06:03

Come on, let's go!

0:06:030:06:04

Let's go this way. Let's see what we can find.

0:06:050:06:08

Looks a good fun shop, doesn't it?

0:06:090:06:11

I'm looking for something colourful. Something a little bit out there.

0:06:140:06:17

I've been a big fan of graphic design for a long time.

0:06:170:06:20

-So it's colours. It's something that is noticeable.

-I love that.

0:06:200:06:23

A few Royal Worcester porcelain vases, or whatever, so, yes.

0:06:230:06:27

And look what the Reds have found.

0:06:320:06:34

-What do you think about something like this, Paul?

-Everywhere.

0:06:340:06:37

-Oh, right, OK.

-Nice thing. Good taste.

0:06:370:06:40

But it's not the standout example that we need.

0:06:400:06:43

There should be plenty more to choose from

0:06:430:06:45

in Leominster, which is bursting with antiques and curiosities.

0:06:450:06:49

Have a look at that! From a Vicker's Tank.

0:06:490:06:52

That would be a sight, a gun sight or something?

0:06:520:06:54

Yeah, I would have thought so.

0:06:540:06:56

Now, what's caught Paul's eye?

0:06:560:06:58

Check this out. The sweetheart brooch there.

0:06:580:07:01

-RAF. With enamelled wings.

-Yeah.

0:07:010:07:04

That's enamelled on silver.

0:07:040:07:07

Not particularly rare,

0:07:070:07:09

but fine, and I see no issues with the enamelling, OK? £18.

0:07:090:07:14

-If I saw that at £35, I'd go, "Not expensive."

-That's not a bad idea.

0:07:140:07:18

We're five minutes into it and there's something

0:07:180:07:21

that I don't think is dear to start with.

0:07:210:07:23

Something to think about for now.

0:07:240:07:28

So how are the Blues getting on?

0:07:280:07:29

I did notice this.

0:07:320:07:34

I think this is very sort of in, this sort of '70s-type look?

0:07:340:07:37

So you see, it's got on the bottom all about it.

0:07:370:07:41

It's Portmeirion, which is a place in North Wales,

0:07:410:07:45

and it's called Magic City, that's the title of the design.

0:07:450:07:48

And it was designed by Susan Clough Ellis.

0:07:480:07:51

I like the fact it's got a good sort of pedigree, you know.

0:07:510:07:53

It's got all that on, which is nice. Cos it tells all about it.

0:07:530:07:56

Now, what have we got? We've got the coffee pot, sugar, milk.

0:07:560:07:59

I think the interest is in the coffee set, to be honest.

0:07:590:08:02

It's the shapes, isn't it? They're great shapes.

0:08:020:08:04

But what's the magic number on the ticket?

0:08:040:08:07

38 on the coffee set.

0:08:070:08:10

And that's 16. They've put the plates separately, and called

0:08:100:08:16

it a sandwich set. Might be quite a good thing?

0:08:160:08:18

-What do you think, Chris?

-Yeah.

-I don't know if we could try that

0:08:180:08:21

-and see the best we can get.

-I think that's...

0:08:210:08:23

-Shall we ask the lady and see what we can do?

-Yeah, definitely.

0:08:230:08:25

Weave your magic, Blues. Now, how are the Reds doing?

0:08:250:08:28

-Anything, John?

-No, not anything that stands out.

0:08:300:08:34

Something more ornate.

0:08:340:08:36

Hm, what happened to "hard, fast and cut-throat"?

0:08:390:08:43

-We've got to go for the jugular now. Come on, let's...

-Not necessarily.

0:08:450:08:49

We've gone straight from amble, quite liked it to...

0:08:490:08:52

-ANGRILY:

-..now we've got to really nail somebody!

0:08:520:08:54

So, are the Blues ready to nail a deal with the coffee set?

0:08:560:09:00

-It's 38, so I can do that for £34.

-Right.

0:09:000:09:04

-With the tea plates, that's 49.

-Well, what would you think?

0:09:040:09:09

-40 for the whole...?

-That would work.

-£40.

0:09:090:09:13

-£40.

-For the lot.

0:09:130:09:16

-DIANE:

-And see what she can do.

0:09:160:09:17

That would be lovely, thank you, Diane, thank you very much.

0:09:170:09:20

Already 15 minutes on the clock

0:09:200:09:22

and it seems the Reds are reconsidering the RAF badge.

0:09:220:09:26

This RAF brooch.

0:09:270:09:29

I think we should go ahead and get this one, don't you think?

0:09:290:09:32

I like that, I like that a lot. I like the colours.

0:09:320:09:34

-OK, it's ticking that box.

-I like that it's an RAF brooch,

0:09:340:09:37

it's something military that I was fond of getting.

0:09:370:09:39

Yeah, it's a good price as well.

0:09:390:09:40

I just want to make sure it's not cheap for a reason.

0:09:400:09:44

-Tasty?

-Why are you eating it?

-Enamel isn't glass.

0:09:440:09:48

It's cold and it's sheer. Your teeth gain no purchase on it.

0:09:480:09:53

I think it has been subtly restored.

0:09:530:09:55

I think if we could get it down to like £10, £12, I think

0:09:550:09:59

-it's worth a gamble, really.

-I think you are spot-on.

0:09:590:10:03

But I don't think you're going to get it down to 10 or 12.

0:10:030:10:06

Says miserable Laidlaw.

0:10:060:10:07

THEY LAUGH

0:10:070:10:08

See that glass? Yeah, it's half empty.

0:10:080:10:12

THEY LAUGH

0:10:120:10:15

-Are you going for that?

-I am. I'll go solo.

0:10:150:10:17

-I'll get a decent price for it.

-Good man.

-And I shall see you later on.

0:10:170:10:21

Good stuff.

0:10:210:10:22

How's he going to deal? What's his style?

0:10:220:10:24

Yeah, I think he'll probably end up paying 21, not 18.

0:10:240:10:27

Oh, ye of little faith, boys.

0:10:310:10:33

Now over to the Blues who've been praying for good news.

0:10:330:10:36

What's the verdict on the Portmeirion?

0:10:360:10:39

-£46 is the best she can do.

-46.

0:10:390:10:43

-Shall we have a go?

-Let's go for it.

0:10:430:10:44

-Shall we shake the lady's hand?

-OK.

-Go on, then, Chris.

0:10:440:10:47

Good luck with that. I think you stand a good chance.

0:10:470:10:49

-Cheers.

-Thank you for all your efforts, Diane.

-Happy, Blues?

0:10:490:10:52

-Well, the coffee set wasn't on our list.

-A bit of a surprise.

0:10:520:10:55

Yeah, I think that was a good purchase.

0:10:550:10:57

Yeah, I think, yeah, potentially, it could be a bit of value there

0:10:570:11:00

-and a bit of profit maybe.

-I think it'll be a profit in that, yeah.

0:11:000:11:03

Well done, guys.

0:11:030:11:05

Now, what about that RAF brooch, Reds?

0:11:050:11:08

-Purchased.

-Excellent.

-£13.

-You've spent our money.

0:11:110:11:15

-Yeah, and I am over the moon with that.

-Fantastic, mate.

0:11:150:11:17

-Cartwheels.

-I'll moonwalk out of the shop, that's what I'll do.

0:11:170:11:20

-Moonwalking all the way out.

-First buy.

-First buy, there we go.

0:11:200:11:23

Come on, let's get a jog on.

0:11:230:11:25

You've earned your wings, and that's an item each.

0:11:280:11:30

But remember, time also flies and we're halfway through,

0:11:300:11:34

so keep moving.

0:11:340:11:35

Can I show you something that we trotted past on

0:11:370:11:40

the way to this cabinet?

0:11:400:11:42

-You certainly can.

-Absolutely.

-Hm, intriguing.

0:11:420:11:45

If it's still here, yes.

0:11:450:11:46

Oh, wow. I'd say it looks like a magazine stand, maybe?

0:11:480:11:52

Today, you might call it a magazine rack.

0:11:520:11:55

-There is a term for this, and it is a canterbury.

-Right, OK.

0:11:550:11:58

And one would store journals, broadsheets, sheet music.

0:11:580:12:02

It's in mahogany, brown ceramic and brass casters. It's datable.

0:12:020:12:06

-Let's say 1860. What do you think?

-I like it. John?

0:12:060:12:10

I think it could fit in anywhere, really.

0:12:100:12:12

Yeah, it's nice, it's interesting. Just like me.

0:12:120:12:15

-It's a decent old canterbury.

-THEY LAUGH

0:12:150:12:17

Price tag is £75.

0:12:170:12:21

-If we could squeeze a wee bit off that...

-I like it.

0:12:210:12:24

-Go straight for the jugular.

-What do you say? Hard and fast, jugular.

0:12:240:12:29

Should we phone A&E in advance?

0:12:290:12:30

No casualties, please. Are you going to go for it?

0:12:300:12:33

-Definitely.

-See what price we could get this for.

0:12:330:12:35

-Go on, John.

-There is the man we need to see.

0:12:350:12:38

What have you got here?

0:12:380:12:39

It's an interesting piece we have seen in your shop.

0:12:390:12:42

How much are you willing to part with it?

0:12:420:12:44

-Well, the price on it is 75.

-OK.

0:12:440:12:48

-I could come down to £60.

-What do you think, John?

0:12:480:12:52

What had you got in mind?

0:12:520:12:54

We were kind of hoping about 40.

0:12:540:12:56

40? No, that's too low, I'm afraid.

0:12:560:12:59

OK, maybe a little bit more? Perhaps 45 maybe?

0:12:590:13:02

Yes, 45.

0:13:020:13:03

-45, thank you very much, that sounds good.

-All done.

-Fantastic. Who knew?

0:13:030:13:09

Well, that's absolutely... What can I say? Where next?

0:13:090:13:11

-Who knows?

-Yeah, well, let's go for it.

0:13:110:13:13

-Pressure's off a little bit now.

-Yeah, that's it.

-Let's go.

0:13:130:13:16

-Let's go then.

-Keep the energy up.

0:13:160:13:18

We've got two decent purchases under our belt,

0:13:190:13:22

and the second one had a decent price tag attached to it.

0:13:220:13:24

And we're doing all right.

0:13:240:13:26

We've got to keep this snowball rolling and nail the last lot,

0:13:260:13:30

and I'm off to do that.

0:13:300:13:31

That's two-one to the Reds.

0:13:330:13:35

Now, while the teams continue shopping, I have a question for you.

0:13:350:13:39

Have you ever seen a three-legged toad?

0:13:450:13:47

Well, I have, and I've got one right here.

0:13:470:13:50

But it's not just any old three-legged toad.

0:13:500:13:53

Let me introduce you to Jin Chan.

0:13:530:13:56

This is a sacred Chinese wealth-beckoning three-legged toad.

0:13:560:14:02

Because Feng Shui dictates that this little toad here,

0:14:020:14:06

when placed in the appropriate area in your home, could help

0:14:060:14:10

wealth flow throughout your family

0:14:100:14:14

and bring you luck and prosperity.

0:14:140:14:17

Why on earth does it only have three legs?

0:14:170:14:20

As legend would have it,

0:14:200:14:21

Jin Chan was one of the wives of the eight immortals,

0:14:210:14:25

and she got a little bit fly,

0:14:250:14:27

and she tried to steal one of the peaches of immortality

0:14:270:14:31

and for her sins, she was turned into a toad.

0:14:310:14:34

And not just any old toad, but a three-legged one.

0:14:340:14:37

Here I have for you, a 19th-century, earthenware glazed

0:14:370:14:42

plant pot, but it's a gorgeous wee thing.

0:14:420:14:45

I mean, you just want to touch that nodular body cos it feels so good.

0:14:450:14:51

It's not the most spectacular version of Jin Chan

0:14:510:14:53

that you can get, but I love it.

0:14:530:14:56

You might be thinking, "What could I pick one of these up for?"

0:14:560:14:59

Well, let me tell you.

0:14:590:15:00

Not a lot, because you can get one of these today for just £20 or £30.

0:15:000:15:05

And to think, when it comes to Jin Chan,

0:15:050:15:08

the money toad, that could be money very well spent.

0:15:080:15:11

Back to see if the teams are spending their money wisely.

0:15:200:15:24

We're just over halfway through.

0:15:240:15:26

The Blues need to catch up with the Reds and find their second item.

0:15:260:15:30

Marching orders, Blues?

0:15:310:15:33

-Swagger sticks.

-Swagger sticks, yes.

0:15:350:15:37

I could see myself with one of these.

0:15:370:15:39

-Just like Windsor Davies.

-Sergeant major, yes.

0:15:390:15:44

It must be an Irish regiment with the heart.

0:15:440:15:47

-But this is leather, look.

-Yeah, I noticed that.

0:15:470:15:49

I thought at first that it was an ebonised wood but that's

0:15:490:15:51

stitched leather, which I think is quite a nice thing, isn't it?

0:15:510:15:55

We can... Oh, now, do you want to have a look?

0:15:550:15:59

"Se...pa...ra...bit."

0:15:590:16:01

It doesn't help, really, does it?

0:16:030:16:06

Translated from Latin,

0:16:060:16:07

that means who shall separate us? Swagger sticks were usually

0:16:070:16:11

carried as a symbol of authority by uniformed soldiers right up to 1939.

0:16:110:16:16

There is another one, so if we get that one and have a look...

0:16:180:16:20

-Yeah, let's take a look.

-..and see, now, what have we got here?

0:16:200:16:23

-Oh, now, this is...

-Similar.

-It's similar, isn't it?

0:16:230:16:26

I think I prefer that one to this one.

0:16:260:16:29

This looks a bit too chromey, doesn't it?

0:16:290:16:31

-It does, yes.

-I think that looks a bit nicer.

0:16:310:16:34

A bit more character.

0:16:340:16:35

Here's the lady.

0:16:350:16:37

-You found something else.

-Now, we've each got a swagger stick.

-Right.

0:16:370:16:41

But out of all of them, we seem to prefer this one.

0:16:410:16:43

Yes, we've got two pounds off that.

0:16:430:16:46

Do we get additional discount as a goodwill gesture?

0:16:460:16:49

I will have to phone the dealer again.

0:16:490:16:51

-See what the very best is, and we could go from there?

-Yes.

0:16:510:16:54

-Right, I shall give him a ring.

-Thank you very much.

0:16:540:16:57

I shall hang onto this.

0:16:570:16:59

The Blues really need this one

0:16:590:17:01

because the Reds are steaming ahead with only one item to go.

0:17:010:17:04

We're going to go big now, aren't we? We've seen something we like.

0:17:040:17:06

We've got a couple of ideas that we like.

0:17:060:17:08

But it's now big, bold and beautiful.

0:17:080:17:10

-Big bold and beautiful, like yourself?

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:17:100:17:13

It's looking fantastic. Wow, that is...something else, isn't it?

0:17:130:17:17

-What do you think of that?

-Yeah, that's your kind of thing, isn't it?

0:17:170:17:20

It is.

0:17:200:17:22

So, what's the news on that swagger stick?

0:17:230:17:26

-It's better for you this time.

-Oh, now, stand by your bets.

0:17:260:17:28

-22.

-22?

0:17:280:17:30

-Good deal, I think.

-Do you think we should go for it?

0:17:300:17:33

-I think that fits the bill.

-BOTH:

-Yeah.

0:17:330:17:35

-Thank you.

-DIANE:

-Thank you. Good luck.

0:17:350:17:38

You've got a definite swagger in your step now, Blues.

0:17:380:17:41

And look what the Reds have spotted.

0:17:410:17:43

Look what I found. I think this is it.

0:17:430:17:45

I think this is the big buy we've been waiting for.

0:17:450:17:47

-What do you think?

-I do like those.

-Do you? Paul, we found these.

0:17:470:17:51

HE LAUGHS

0:17:510:17:53

-I like the look of them. What's your thoughts?

-Doulton stoneware.

0:17:530:17:58

It's fantastic. Absolutely superb.

0:17:580:18:01

You've got a compressed ovoid body,

0:18:010:18:04

then this really pronounced baluster neck and inverted rim.

0:18:040:18:08

This impressed pattern is generally accentuated in gilt.

0:18:080:18:13

I think it's a fantastic texture. I like a texture.

0:18:130:18:15

I like the look of it.

0:18:150:18:16

It's certainly different. What do you think about this?

0:18:160:18:19

Yeah, I like them, but I think 165 is quite steep.

0:18:190:18:23

-Is that it? 165?

-Yeah, for two.

0:18:230:18:26

-I think we need to talk to somebody.

-Shall we, shall we?

0:18:260:18:29

We certainly could give it a blah and see if we can get it down.

0:18:290:18:31

I'm going to get him down. I'm going to half that price.

0:18:310:18:34

-Yes?

-I think we are.

-Shock and awe.

0:18:340:18:35

-Let's go for it.

-Good luck, that man.

0:18:350:18:38

MILITARY DRUM BEATS

0:18:380:18:43

There's surprise news in from the front.

0:18:470:18:49

Having sealed the deal on that swagger stick,

0:18:490:18:51

Diane has a price update.

0:18:510:18:53

-Right, some good news.

-Oh, yes, Diane?

0:18:530:18:55

I can take another two pounds off the swagger stick.

0:18:550:18:58

-That would make it 20.

-That's even better, isn't it?

0:18:580:19:02

Well, we've bought it at 22, but if we can get another

0:19:020:19:05

two as well, I think we're made up with that, don't you?

0:19:050:19:08

-Yeah, very happy with that.

-Brilliant!

0:19:080:19:10

-Another two pounds to spend.

-THEY LAUGH

0:19:100:19:13

Now, that's a first. So the stick has cost you £20.

0:19:130:19:16

Meanwhile, you've still got 15 minutes in hand

0:19:160:19:19

to find your last item.

0:19:190:19:20

How about a price on those blue pots?

0:19:220:19:25

-Here he is, the man of the moment.

-Ah, right.

0:19:250:19:28

Now then, we really like these. They are fantastic.

0:19:280:19:31

We are looking at, ooh, we are looking at about 70 for the pair.

0:19:310:19:34

HE LAUGHS

0:19:340:19:36

-Um, £100.

-Oh, no. Any lower?

-No, I can't do any more. That's it.

0:19:360:19:41

-That's the bottom.

-You wanted to pay 80. It's only another 20.

0:19:410:19:46

-I don't know about you, but...

-Shall we?

-He's swinging it, isn't he?

0:19:460:19:49

Well, I think that's the thing we want to do.

0:19:490:19:51

-We want to spend, the last thing, a big thing, £100?

-All right.

0:19:510:19:56

-£100.

-Jolly good.

0:19:560:19:57

-JOHN:

-Fantastic. Thank you for that.

0:19:570:19:59

Thank you very much. Guys, this is what you were looking for.

0:19:590:20:05

-I'm pleased with that. Champions.

-It's FIFA, isn't it? It's the Cup.

0:20:050:20:10

This is it.

0:20:100:20:11

Three in the bag, congratulations.

0:20:130:20:16

But can the Blues equalise in the last five minutes?

0:20:160:20:19

I just think that's a nice little object, that.

0:20:210:20:23

Little turned feet.

0:20:230:20:25

It's got all the little knob handles on it that it should have.

0:20:250:20:28

-How old do you think that would be?

-Late Victorian.

0:20:280:20:30

This could be 19th century. That's one thing I've just noticed.

0:20:300:20:33

It's got some cracks there which is...

0:20:330:20:36

-Hence, that's why it's quite a sensible price.

-How much is that?

0:20:360:20:40

£33.

0:20:400:20:41

If I could get that at 25,

0:20:410:20:43

I think that could make 30 to 50.

0:20:430:20:46

What I'd really like you to find something now that you

0:20:460:20:49

-feel is going to be your key piece.

-OK, shall we have a look upstairs?

0:20:490:20:53

-Yes, we can have a go.

-Remember, time's ticking, boys.

0:20:530:20:57

Where's he gone? Have we lost him? Dexter!

0:20:570:21:01

This is no time to play hide-and-seek.

0:21:010:21:03

We've only got a couple of minutes left

0:21:050:21:07

-and I'm thinking you don't want to be without your third thing.

-True.

0:21:070:21:10

-The only thing I can think of is the small chest of drawers.

-The chest.

0:21:100:21:13

-And if we can get a deal on that...

-OK.

0:21:130:21:15

Yeah. So, come on, chaps, we'd better be quick, quick.

0:21:150:21:18

I just think it's got a great look, great colour

0:21:200:21:23

and I would say I'd have this as your third.

0:21:230:21:25

What would be your best price on that?

0:21:250:21:27

-DEALER:

-The very, very best... And it is very

0:21:270:21:29

sweet, isn't it? And I'll throw in a cup of tea as well. ..would be £25.

0:21:290:21:33

That's our bottom line.

0:21:330:21:35

-£25.

-£25.

0:21:350:21:36

Would you be happy with £25?

0:21:360:21:38

I mean, price-wise, yeah, it's pretty good, isn't it?

0:21:380:21:40

And we haven't got much time left.

0:21:400:21:42

We are up against it. Shall we do the deal?

0:21:420:21:44

Going to shake the gentleman's hand?

0:21:440:21:46

-Thanks very much.

-DEALER:

-Well done, lads. Congratulations.

0:21:460:21:49

-Good luck with it.

-Cheers.

0:21:490:21:50

Phew! A final deal done.

0:21:500:21:53

And the pressure is off, team. Your time is up.

0:21:580:22:01

-Cheers.

-Cheers.

-Cheers, everyone.

0:22:010:22:03

A great day.

0:22:030:22:05

-Well, it's cold enough so well done, folks.

-Cheers.

-BLUES:

-Cheers.

0:22:060:22:09

Now, let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.

0:22:090:22:12

First they pinned £13 on the sweetheart brooch

0:22:150:22:18

but will it bring them sweet success?

0:22:180:22:20

There's the mahogany canterbury magazine rack,

0:22:210:22:24

which cost £45.

0:22:240:22:26

And they doubled up on the Doulton vases, bought for £100.

0:22:280:22:32

Rob and John, what happened? That is my question.

0:22:340:22:37

What happened to the big plan? It all went out the window.

0:22:370:22:40

Yeah, it did unfortunately.

0:22:400:22:42

Was it the pressure of the Bargain Hunt stopwatch?

0:22:420:22:44

I think so. We certainly felt the pressure on the

0:22:440:22:47

-first buy, didn't we?

-We did, yeah,

0:22:470:22:49

and it all went downhill but luckily Paul was there to help us,

0:22:490:22:51

push us back up hill. I think we did well in the end.

0:22:510:22:54

But tell me, John, what was your favourite item?

0:22:540:22:56

Mine was probably the canterbury.

0:22:560:22:58

A classic piece. A bit pricey?

0:22:580:23:00

No, I think at the price, £45, it was a pretty decent buy.

0:23:000:23:04

So do you reckon the canterbury is going to bring the biggest profits?

0:23:040:23:07

-Yeah, I do, yeah.

-OK. Quite confident there.

-Absolutely.

-OK.

0:23:070:23:11

And, Rob, do you share John's confidence in the canterbury?

0:23:110:23:14

No. I think it'll do well

0:23:140:23:16

but I think the purchase at the end that we got, the vases,

0:23:160:23:19

-I think that's the big one for us.

-So that was the Doulton for £100?

0:23:190:23:22

-It was indeed, yeah.

-I heard a little...

0:23:220:23:24

-Was that a little sigh I heard from you?

-Yeah.

0:23:240:23:26

I didn't want us to spend that much money on any item,

0:23:260:23:29

so I'm not sharing Rob's confidence.

0:23:290:23:32

If that goes south, you're taking no responsibility for that?

0:23:320:23:36

-Well, we win together, we lose together.

-That's right.

0:23:360:23:39

That's a nice spirit. Now, in the end, what did you spend in total?

0:23:390:23:43

We spent £158.

0:23:430:23:45

Ohh, quite a princely sum. Not the full amount, of course.

0:23:450:23:47

It leaves 142, which I will take from you. Fantastic.

0:23:470:23:52

-And let's get that straight over to the man, Paul Laidlaw.

-Thanking you.

0:23:520:23:55

This is the man without the plan.

0:23:550:23:57

But at least I can't fail to meet it.

0:23:570:24:00

The man without the plan is sort of the theme of the afternoon, I'd say.

0:24:000:24:04

-Absolutely.

-On that note, let's find out what the Blue team bought.

0:24:040:24:07

First up, will the Portmeirion Magic City set

0:24:090:24:12

prove just the trick at auction? £46 paid.

0:24:120:24:15

Will they march away with a profit on the military swagger stick,

0:24:170:24:20

which cost them £20?

0:24:200:24:22

And finally, they're hoping to maximise their profits

0:24:240:24:27

with the £25 miniature chest.

0:24:270:24:29

That was a close call that you took it to the wire. Oh, my goodness.

0:24:310:24:35

Talk about living on the edge.

0:24:350:24:37

Now, Chris, what was your favourite item?

0:24:370:24:40

I think my favourite item was the swagger stick.

0:24:400:24:42

The swagger stick. Because you clocked that, didn't you?

0:24:420:24:45

-I did, yeah.

-And did you know what it was before, a swagger stick?

0:24:450:24:47

Yeah, I'd been watching...

0:24:470:24:49

It Ain't Half Hot Mum with Windsor Davies

0:24:490:24:52

and that really stood out for me.

0:24:520:24:54

But do you think it's going to bring the biggest profit?

0:24:540:24:57

-I don't think it is, no.

-No? So what's that going to be, then?

0:24:570:25:00

I think probably the coffee set.

0:25:000:25:02

-A nice Welsh one. A Portmeirion one.

-Absolutely.

0:25:020:25:04

-Is that why?

-Yeah.

-SHE LAUGHS

0:25:040:25:06

And, Dexter, do you have a favourite item of the three?

0:25:060:25:09

-Yeah, favourite item's probably the swagger stick as well.

-OK.

0:25:090:25:12

Because it kind of fitted in with what we were going out to purchase.

0:25:120:25:15

-OK, fantastic.

-I think the most profit will probably come from

0:25:150:25:19

maybe the chest of drawers or possibly the Portmeirion.

0:25:190:25:22

And how much did you spend in total?

0:25:220:25:24

£91.

0:25:240:25:25

Which leaves £209. Oh, my goodness.

0:25:250:25:28

Please could I have it back. Fantastic.

0:25:280:25:31

I didn't expect to be handing over so much money.

0:25:310:25:33

-What are you going to do with it all?

-I have seen something.

0:25:330:25:36

I think it might fit in with one of your interests.

0:25:360:25:39

-Let me leave it at that.

-OK.

-OK, sounds good.

0:25:390:25:42

This man knows what he's doing.

0:25:420:25:44

Well, now we've found out what the Blues have bought,

0:25:440:25:46

let's head straight over to the auction and get things started.

0:25:460:25:50

Well, here I am, the envy of millions.

0:26:060:26:08

I'm sitting beside Philip Serrell in Serrell's saleroom in Malvern.

0:26:080:26:12

-Good morning, Phil.

-How are you, lovely? You all right?

0:26:120:26:14

I'm really excited to be here

0:26:140:26:16

because we've got a really interesting array of items

0:26:160:26:19

-and I think we should get straight into our Red team...

-OK.

0:26:190:26:21

..led by Mr Paul Laidlaw.

0:26:210:26:23

Robert and John started off their shop with this RAF badge.

0:26:230:26:27

Now, tell me, Phil, who enamelled that?

0:26:270:26:29

Probably the local blacksmith in a very dark room.

0:26:290:26:33

Would that originally have just been the badge on its own

0:26:330:26:35

because it's very botched, isn't it, the enamelling?

0:26:350:26:37

It's utterly botched.

0:26:370:26:39

And it's either something that's been restored

0:26:390:26:41

or someone's had a go at home enamelling

0:26:410:26:42

but either way I kind of don't think it's worked.

0:26:420:26:44

It's got that RAF connection.

0:26:440:26:46

So, we think it should do between £15 and £30.

0:26:460:26:49

Just in then because they only paid £13.

0:26:490:26:51

Oh, well, they're home and hosed, aren't they?

0:26:510:26:53

-Lucky for some then, 13.

-Absolutely.

0:26:530:26:55

OK. We'll move away from this enamel,

0:26:550:26:56

-which might actually make some money.

-Absolutely.

0:26:560:26:59

-And we'll move onto this canterbury.

-Cos this is an Edwardian

0:26:590:27:02

-mahogany canterbury.

-Hm-hm.

0:27:020:27:04

If you look just here, there's a fillet of wood let in.

0:27:040:27:08

And if you look just here, there's another fillet of wood let in.

0:27:080:27:11

There's been some back struts here.

0:27:110:27:13

That's the front of it and there's probably been some shelves.

0:27:130:27:16

But I think it's such a lovely thing because people still read magazines.

0:27:160:27:20

-Absolutely right.

-They still read music sheets and things like that

0:27:200:27:23

and a canterbury can be quite handy. What are you selling it at?

0:27:230:27:26

-I think £30 to £50, something like that.

-They paid £45 for it.

0:27:260:27:29

I think they're fine. I think that will do all right.

0:27:290:27:31

-Anyway, then we move on to ceramics. Your bag, ceramics.

-Yeah.

0:27:310:27:34

But Royal Doulton, how do you feel about that?

0:27:340:27:35

Well, it's not Worcester, is it?

0:27:350:27:37

It's no Worcester but do you know,

0:27:370:27:39

I don't think you're going to rate these and I personally love them.

0:27:390:27:44

For a start off with this, when you've got

0:27:440:27:45

the leaning Tower of Doulton,

0:27:450:27:47

and I think the top of that one has been restored.

0:27:470:27:49

I think they're like £20 to £30 worth with those issues.

0:27:490:27:52

They spent a third of the money on this. £100.

0:27:520:27:55

Right. The thing is, there's a lot of good Doulton in this sale.

0:27:570:28:00

Do you know what? They might just get away.

0:28:000:28:03

OK. Well, Phil seems a little bit anxious about these

0:28:030:28:06

and, in that case, the Reds might just need their bonus buy.

0:28:060:28:08

So, let's see what Paul came up with.

0:28:080:28:11

Well, Robert and John, you spent just over half the money.

0:28:110:28:15

Paul, did you spend every single penny of that £142

0:28:150:28:19

of leftover lolly?

0:28:190:28:21

"Oh, don't be so silly," he says.

0:28:220:28:24

Let's have a look.

0:28:240:28:25

We've got two strapping/burly guys in front of me

0:28:250:28:28

and I bought that little bobble.

0:28:280:28:30

-OK.

-OK.

-Ohh.

0:28:300:28:32

-What is it?

-You better sell that cos it's not selling itself.

0:28:320:28:36

-That looks nice.

-It is a pendant...

0:28:360:28:39

..cum brooch.

0:28:400:28:41

The stone is an actual mineral.

0:28:410:28:43

In Scotland we'd call it a cairngorm. It's quartz family.

0:28:430:28:46

-Smoky quartz.

-Yeah.

0:28:460:28:47

What works for me is the fact that it's a bold standard piece.

0:28:470:28:52

I like that. I do like it. I like the smokiness of it.

0:28:520:28:54

What do you think, John?

0:28:550:28:56

-I'm not so sure.

-THEY GROAN

0:28:560:28:59

It's going to be numbers, isn't it?

0:28:590:29:00

The important thing, yeah.

0:29:000:29:02

PAUL LAUGHS

0:29:020:29:04

-Well, the other important thing is what it's worth.

-Yes.

0:29:040:29:07

The answer to the first question, £20.

0:29:070:29:10

OK. OK?

0:29:100:29:13

-It ain't staggeringly valuable...

-No.

0:29:130:29:15

..but it's got to be worth £20 to £40.

0:29:150:29:18

-30 to 50 on a good day.

-It's different to what we've got

0:29:180:29:20

in a way, so I quite like that.

0:29:200:29:23

Well, Paul thinks this piece might have potential

0:29:230:29:25

but will Philip approve of the feminine touch?

0:29:250:29:28

Here we are. Paul Laidlaw's bonus buy.

0:29:300:29:33

Very feminine but smoky quartz and quite dramatic.

0:29:330:29:36

-I quite like the shape.

-It's quite moody, isn't it?

-It is very moody.

0:29:360:29:39

Yeah. We've put a bottom estimate on that of £25

0:29:390:29:41

-and I think that'll do OK.

-He only paid £20 for it.

0:29:410:29:44

-Well, there's a profit, isn't there?

-He's done so well there

0:29:440:29:47

cos it's such a gorgeous thing.

0:29:470:29:48

So we think we're quite safe with the Reds.

0:29:480:29:50

-Well, let's move on to Chris and Dexter now.

-OK.

0:29:500:29:52

Start off with the Portmeirion. Love it.

0:29:520:29:54

Now, I'm a big fan of this particular style

0:29:540:29:57

of Susan Williams-Ellis. I love it.

0:29:570:29:59

For me, it's very difficult selling things that are younger than I am.

0:29:590:30:05

OK. I mean, I rarely have that problem...

0:30:050:30:08

-I'm just kidding!

-You know...

0:30:090:30:11

No, I think it's really cool.

0:30:110:30:12

I think Magic City, especially because her father designed a city,

0:30:120:30:17

it's got interest. And what do you reckon it's going to make?

0:30:170:30:20

I would think it's going to make between £15 and £30.

0:30:200:30:22

Well, they paid £46.

0:30:220:30:24

-You're speechless.

-I am.

-Let's move on.

0:30:250:30:27

Item number two is a swagger stick.

0:30:270:30:30

The boys have done quite well cos it's got silver-plated mounts.

0:30:300:30:33

-Does it have enough swagger for you, Phil?

-Again, I don't think it's got

0:30:330:30:36

the greatest amount of age in the world.

0:30:360:30:38

I think it's going to make between £10 and £15.

0:30:380:30:40

-Is that all?

-Yeah.

0:30:400:30:42

-I tell you, the boys paid £20 for this...

-Really?

0:30:420:30:45

..and I think they've done really well.

0:30:450:30:47

I reckon that's going to make a profit.

0:30:470:30:48

Moving away from the 20th century, we're going back in time

0:30:480:30:51

and we've got this... Is it an apprentice chest?

0:30:510:30:53

I quite like this. We've put £40 to £60 on it.

0:30:530:30:55

-There are other bits...

-Similar.

-..right behind us.

0:30:550:30:58

There's miniature furniture in this sale.

0:30:580:31:00

-So I think that'll do quite well.

-OK.

0:31:000:31:03

Well, believe it or not, although it is a wee bit shoddy,

0:31:030:31:06

it's got to be worth more than the £25 that they paid for it.

0:31:060:31:08

-Is that what it cost?

-That's all they paid.

0:31:080:31:10

Well, I would think they're home and hosed with that.

0:31:100:31:12

-Do you reckon?

-Yeah.

-Well, Phil seems awfully confident

0:31:120:31:15

but just in case it doesn't go to plan,

0:31:150:31:16

let's see what Mark bought for his bonus buy for the Blues.

0:31:160:31:21

Well, Chris, this is now your time to ask Mark lots of questions

0:31:210:31:25

but I have a question for you. Where on earth is Dexter?

0:31:250:31:27

Dexter had an appointment he just couldn't get out of, I'm afraid.

0:31:270:31:30

-Now, you spent £91...

-Yes.

0:31:300:31:33

..between you. Not a huge amount of money.

0:31:330:31:35

-We did give you 300. Do you remember that?

-I know.

0:31:350:31:38

Which means £209 was given to Mark.

0:31:380:31:42

-Please show us what you got.

-Right, here we go.

0:31:420:31:44

-Ohh!

-Oh.

0:31:440:31:47

There we are. A Maxitone gramophone from the late 1920s, early 1930s.

0:31:470:31:53

Wow.

0:31:530:31:54

And it works, which was... Well, you wouldn't buy it if it didn't.

0:31:540:31:58

-To have it mechanically working.

-Yeah. I wasn't sure, actually.

0:31:580:32:00

It's got lots of extra needles and it's a good-looking thing

0:32:000:32:03

and I think with all the vintage and retro interest,

0:32:030:32:06

-I think someone might go for it.

-How much did you pay for it?

0:32:060:32:08

I ended up paying 55, which actually was a third off.

0:32:080:32:12

-It was 85 and I got a reduction.

-That's good.

0:32:120:32:14

But to be honest, I think we are only hoping

0:32:140:32:16

to get £70 or £80 for it.

0:32:160:32:18

-It's not going to run away, I don't think.

-Yeah, I like it.

0:32:180:32:21

Good. I'm glad you do.

0:32:210:32:23

Well, Chris seems to love it,

0:32:230:32:24

Mark absolutely loves it but will Philip Serrell, our auctioneer,

0:32:240:32:28

think his buyers will be in tune with this gramophone?

0:32:280:32:31

-Now, Phil, here we have Mark's bonus buy.

-Yes.

0:32:330:32:36

-I love it.

-Really?

0:32:360:32:37

Love the history of turntables and all that.

0:32:370:32:40

It just looks like an ordinary sideboard.

0:32:400:32:42

You lift the lid and the magic of music turns within.

0:32:420:32:46

-What do you think?

-There are people who are big collectors of vinyl...

0:32:460:32:49

-Hm-hm.

-...and turntables and all things mechanical

0:32:490:32:53

-to do with the music business.

-They are.

0:32:530:32:56

I think we've put £20 to £30 on it.

0:32:560:32:58

Well, Mark, I think, has done really well

0:32:580:33:01

-cos he only paid £55 for it.

-Really?

0:33:010:33:03

You think that's twice what is going to make

0:33:030:33:05

but it's just the romantic edge that I love.

0:33:050:33:07

-I need a room full of Raskins, that's what I need.

-You do! You do!

0:33:070:33:10

-You'll be taking the auction today, is that correct?

-Yes, indeed.

0:33:100:33:13

I personally can't wait to see you in action

0:33:130:33:15

and I bet you can't either, so let's see him strut his stuff.

0:33:150:33:18

110, 120, 130...

0:33:190:33:22

100, 110.

0:33:250:33:27

Any more? 110.

0:33:270:33:29

In the room, 120.

0:33:290:33:31

120.

0:33:310:33:32

Well, Robert and John, Paul, I'm glad I wore my high heels

0:33:340:33:36

because I'm on your level now. This is great.

0:33:360:33:39

Tell me, are you excited about the auction? The moment has come.

0:33:390:33:42

-Absolutely, yeah.

-We're confident. We are confident.

0:33:420:33:44

Is there any particular lot you're very nervous about or...?

0:33:440:33:47

-Yes, I am.

-Which one's that?

0:33:470:33:48

-The vases.

-The vases!

0:33:480:33:50

-My vases.

-Honestly.

0:33:500:33:52

First of all coming up, it's the sterling silver brooch.

0:33:520:33:55

Let's see how it goes.

0:33:550:33:57

Is the little sterling silver enamelled RAF brooch.

0:33:570:34:01

Bid me for that, I don't know, who's got £30 to start?

0:34:010:34:04

30 I'm bid. 5.

0:34:040:34:05

-'40. 5.'

-Straight to 30.

0:34:050:34:07

Get in there.

0:34:070:34:08

I've got 40. I'm bid here at 40.

0:34:080:34:10

This is incredible.

0:34:100:34:12

40. 45. Fresh blood.

0:34:120:34:14

At 45. The book's out at 45.

0:34:140:34:16

Any more? At £45.

0:34:160:34:18

-Come on, more!

-They're loving it, Rob. Keep going.

0:34:180:34:21

And done. Thank you.

0:34:210:34:23

-Fantastic.

-Oh, that was amazing.

0:34:230:34:24

-You've just made £32 profit.

-That's incredible.

0:34:240:34:27

Now, let's keep that up.

0:34:270:34:28

We're going onto our mahogany three division canterbury.

0:34:280:34:31

Give me 50, sir.

0:34:310:34:33

Give me 30.

0:34:330:34:34

-Not 30.

-'30 I'm bid.'

0:34:340:34:36

At 30. £30. And 5.

0:34:360:34:38

40. 5.

0:34:380:34:40

-£45.

-OK. Breaking even.

0:34:400:34:42

At £45 I'm bid. At 45, it's your bid. 5.

0:34:420:34:45

Come on. Come on. Please.

0:34:450:34:48

At £45 I'm bid. 50. 50 bid.

0:34:480:34:51

Oh, 50's bid! That's another profit.

0:34:510:34:53

One more. Yes?

0:34:530:34:54

60. 60 bid.

0:34:540:34:56

Yes! Get in there!

0:34:560:34:58

'At 60. 60 bid.'

0:34:580:35:00

The gentleman's bid at £60 and done.

0:35:000:35:03

And it's 60 and done. Thank you.

0:35:030:35:06

-Fantastic!

-We're doing all right.

0:35:060:35:07

£60. Which means £15 profit, which means 47

0:35:070:35:10

-thus far.

-That's fantastic.

0:35:100:35:13

It's all on you, Robert.

0:35:130:35:14

A pair of Doulton vases. Good shape, good colour.

0:35:140:35:17

Bid me for those. I don't know, start me off at £100.

0:35:170:35:21

100. 50.

0:35:210:35:23

-Come on.

-'20 on the net bid.'

-Ohh!

0:35:240:35:26

30 I'm bid on the net.

0:35:260:35:27

35. 35. 40.

0:35:270:35:29

5 now. At 45.

0:35:290:35:31

At 45 in the room. The net's at 50.

0:35:310:35:33

-OK. OK.

-60.

0:35:330:35:34

-Oh, get in there!

-PHIL:

-'70. 70 bid.'

0:35:340:35:37

£70. 80.

0:35:370:35:39

One more, sir.

0:35:390:35:40

It's only money.

0:35:410:35:42

At £80.

0:35:420:35:43

Bid's on the net at £80. Any more at all?

0:35:430:35:46

-Come on.

-'At £80, then.'

0:35:460:35:49

At £80 and done. Thank you.

0:35:490:35:52

You've lost £20 and it means that you're still in profit. £27.

0:35:520:35:56

Fantastic.

0:35:560:35:58

But now we have to decide

0:35:580:35:59

are we going to go with this very feminine pendant?

0:35:590:36:03

Oh, this is a tricky one, isn't it?

0:36:030:36:05

You are in profit.

0:36:050:36:06

-Let's... Shall we do it?

-Let's give it a blast.

0:36:060:36:09

Yeah, let's go for it. Let's go for it. We'll go with it, yeah.

0:36:090:36:11

-You have faith in Paul Laidlaw?

-We trust you.

0:36:110:36:14

I think you've done pretty well there.

0:36:140:36:16

-Will the buyers like it?

-Bid me for the pendant.

0:36:160:36:18

Start me at 50.

0:36:180:36:19

Give me 40.

0:36:190:36:22

Ouch! Give me 30.

0:36:220:36:23

Somebody at 20, surely?

0:36:240:36:26

Go on. 20 I'm bid. At 20.

0:36:260:36:28

-Broken even.

-'At 20.'

0:36:280:36:30

£20 only. There's the bid at 20.

0:36:300:36:33

20 bid. 5 if you like now.

0:36:330:36:35

-And 5 and 30.

-Yes!

0:36:350:36:37

You made the right decision.

0:36:370:36:38

'At 30. 30 bid.'

0:36:380:36:39

Your bid now at £30 only.

0:36:390:36:42

Any more? At £30...

0:36:420:36:44

Don't scratch your head, sir. You nearly bought a brooch.

0:36:440:36:47

At £30. There's the bid.

0:36:470:36:49

A nice sale at 30 and done. Thank you.

0:36:490:36:52

-£30. Fantastic.

-Fantastic.

-We'll take that.

0:36:520:36:54

-Thank you very much.

-That takes you up to £37 overall.

0:36:540:36:58

-You came on Bargain Hunt...

-That's brilliant!

-..you made a profit.

0:36:580:37:01

-I'm delighted for you.

-Thank you.

-But it's not a huge profit

0:37:010:37:03

and those Blues could come at you with a bigger one.

0:37:030:37:06

So promise me you'll just keep it all together

0:37:060:37:08

-and you'll say nothing to them.

-Poker face.

0:37:080:37:10

Chris, you are the sole representative

0:37:190:37:21

-for the Blue team today, Dexter can't be with us.

-No.

0:37:210:37:23

-So how are you feeling?

-I'm feeling really excited,

0:37:230:37:25

really nervous but, yeah, looking forward to it.

0:37:250:37:28

I have to say, it's not showing. Are you genuinely feeling pressure?

0:37:280:37:31

Yeah, a little bit. Yeah, yeah, quite a lot of pressure, actually.

0:37:310:37:34

So our first lot today is Portmeirion

0:37:340:37:37

under the hammer now.

0:37:370:37:38

Somebody bid me for that. £50 start bid.

0:37:380:37:40

-I've got 30 bid with me.

-OK, 30 bid.

-At 35.

0:37:420:37:44

35 bid. At 35.

0:37:440:37:46

£35 I'm bid, and 40.

0:37:460:37:48

-And 5.

-Good!

0:37:480:37:50

-50.

-Oh, £50. Profit!

0:37:500:37:52

Any more at all?

0:37:530:37:54

At £50...

0:37:540:37:56

At 50 and done. Thank you.

0:37:570:37:59

Gentleman, straight off the mark with a £4 profit.

0:37:590:38:04

Here comes the Royal Irish swagger stick. You paid 20.

0:38:040:38:07

He says 10 to 15. So again, fingers crossed.

0:38:070:38:09

Bid me £30 to go.

0:38:090:38:12

30.

0:38:120:38:13

20.

0:38:130:38:15

Bid me a tenner for the swagger stick, quickly.

0:38:150:38:17

-10 I'm bid. At 10.

-OK. You need it to make 20.

0:38:170:38:20

20. At £20. There's the bid, seated.

0:38:200:38:23

-At £20.

-I think £20.

-Oh, we need one more.

0:38:230:38:26

20 and done. Thank you.

0:38:260:38:28

-Oh, 20. We broke even.

-Broke even.

0:38:280:38:30

-OK.

-It's cos we had that £2 off.

0:38:300:38:31

So we're still £4 in front.

0:38:310:38:33

Mark has a good feeling about this miniature chest. Here we go.

0:38:330:38:38

Bid me £20.

0:38:380:38:39

The miniature chest of drawers.

0:38:400:38:41

No money at all for it.

0:38:410:38:43

10, someone.

0:38:430:38:45

10 I'm bid. At 10. 15. 20.

0:38:450:38:47

-5.

-Climbing.

0:38:470:38:48

Go on, one more.

0:38:480:38:49

25. 30.

0:38:490:38:51

-You're in profit.

-5. Any more?

0:38:510:38:53

At £35 I'm bid. At 35.

0:38:530:38:55

There's the bid.

0:38:550:38:57

At £35 and done. Thank you.

0:38:570:38:59

Overall, Chris...and Dexter, too, £14 in front.

0:38:590:39:03

So now is a pretty big decision

0:39:030:39:05

and you've got to make it on your own.

0:39:050:39:07

Are you going to go with the gramophone?

0:39:070:39:10

Mark paid £55.

0:39:100:39:11

-Yeah, we'll go for it.

-Will you go for it?

-Yeah, we'll go for it.

0:39:110:39:14

100% going with it?

0:39:140:39:16

You've got £14 to play with but we'd love you to make another profit,

0:39:160:39:19

so fingers crossed. Here we go.

0:39:190:39:20

The gramophone. Who's got £50 to start?

0:39:200:39:23

There's a bit of a deathly hush over the place.

0:39:260:39:28

Who's got £20? Well done, sir.

0:39:280:39:30

I'm pleased you came.

0:39:300:39:31

At 20. 5. 30. 5.

0:39:310:39:35

40.

0:39:350:39:36

Go on. 5. 45.

0:39:360:39:38

-45 in the room.

-You need two more.

0:39:380:39:40

50.

0:39:400:39:41

One more, sir.

0:39:410:39:43

50. It's only money.

0:39:430:39:45

-60.

-Oh, 60! Yey, profit!

0:39:450:39:48

70.

0:39:480:39:49

One more, sir.

0:39:490:39:51

At £70 on the net. Any more?

0:39:510:39:53

At £70 then.

0:39:530:39:54

I'm selling at 70 and done. Thank you.

0:39:540:39:57

Delighted! £70.

0:39:570:40:00

It means plus 15, which means overall plus 29.

0:40:000:40:04

By golly, you've done it.

0:40:040:40:05

Now, you never know, the Reds could have made more

0:40:050:40:07

but you, as a Blue, have gone away with a profit.

0:40:070:40:10

So poker face please and say nothing to those pesky Reds.

0:40:100:40:14

I won't.

0:40:140:40:15

Chris, Robert and John, representing Chris and Dexter of course.

0:40:230:40:27

Blues and Reds, how are you all feeling after that mad auction?

0:40:270:40:31

Pretty good. Exhausted.

0:40:320:40:33

-Pretty good.

-Confident.

-Confident, yeah.

-OK.

0:40:330:40:35

We're all winners today because everybody's going home with money,

0:40:350:40:38

which is good.

0:40:380:40:40

But one team is going home with slightly more money.

0:40:400:40:44

And that team...

0:40:440:40:46

is the Reds. Well done! Our winners today.

0:40:460:40:49

Our runner-up today is Chris

0:40:490:40:51

but didn't he do a great job representing the Blue team, Chris.

0:40:510:40:55

And you did very well

0:40:550:40:56

because we all thought that the Portmeirion Magic City set

0:40:560:41:00

was never going to make the £46 you paid for it

0:41:000:41:03

-and it made £50, so you made a profit.

-Oh, well! Just.

0:41:030:41:05

You came out £14 in front after just three lots and you said,

0:41:050:41:10

"What would I do if Dexter was here?

0:41:100:41:11

"I reckon we'd go for that gramophone."

0:41:110:41:13

So you went for it and you got an extra £15,

0:41:130:41:17

making 29 in total.

0:41:170:41:19

So, very well done.

0:41:190:41:20

Let me hand it over to you, Chris.

0:41:200:41:22

I'll give you some folding money and some coins,

0:41:220:41:24

-coming to a grand total of £29. Well done.

-Thank you very much.

0:41:240:41:28

Any idea what you'll spend it on?

0:41:280:41:29

Yeah, I think I'm going to buy something for my baby daughter.

0:41:290:41:33

-She's 13 weeks.

-13 weeks old? Oh, lovely!

0:41:330:41:36

Well, you get her something pretty to wear

0:41:360:41:38

and tell Dexter you're keeping it all, yes?

0:41:380:41:40

THEY LAUGH Fantastic. Well done.

0:41:400:41:42

But what about these Reds?

0:41:440:41:46

A fantastic job, Robert and John.

0:41:460:41:48

Of course, you made a profit straight off the mark

0:41:480:41:51

with your RAF brooch. It wasn't difficult, you only paid £13 for it.

0:41:510:41:54

-I know.

-And then we went on until we made a wee loss, £20.

0:41:540:42:00

Not such a big deal because it was those vases

0:42:000:42:03

and we all pretty much were on the same page.

0:42:030:42:05

Where did you end up?

0:42:050:42:06

£37 profit.

0:42:060:42:08

Just enough to beat Chris and Dexter

0:42:080:42:10

and I'm going to give that straight over to you.

0:42:100:42:13

-£37.

-Thank you.

0:42:130:42:15

Fantastic. Did you expect to make a profit?

0:42:150:42:18

Yes, of course we did.

0:42:180:42:19

I was happy with what we did and we've had a great time.

0:42:190:42:22

-Fantastic.

-I would say no.

-THEY LAUGH

0:42:220:42:25

I thought those vases were going to lose a lot, so I'm very happy.

0:42:250:42:30

I'm delighted for you. Well, everyone here has made some money

0:42:300:42:34

and they've had a great time.
