Today, I'm in farming country,

0:00:050:00:07

the gorgeous Builth Wells in Mid Wales.

0:00:070:00:10

And I'm making my way towards the Royal Welsh Showground,

0:00:100:00:13

which is normally a Mecca for all the farmers here in Mid Wales.

0:00:130:00:17

But today, it's home to a huge antiques fair for our

0:00:170:00:22

Red team and our Blue team to race around.

0:00:220:00:25

So, come on, guys, it's time to plough on,

0:00:250:00:28

and let's go Bargain Hunting.

0:00:280:00:30

As usual, our teams have 60 minutes to work their way around the fair.

0:00:570:01:01

They've got ?300 each and they have to buy three items that,

0:01:010:01:05

fingers crossed, will bring them a profit at auction.

0:01:050:01:08

So, let's see what's in store.

0:01:080:01:10

Coming up on today's show...

0:01:110:01:13

..Thomas is causing chaos for the Reds.

0:01:140:01:16

I am sorry. I didn't touch you.

0:01:160:01:19

And the Blues know their own minds.

0:01:210:01:23

You like that kind of ceramic? Not really.

0:01:230:01:25

I don't particularly like it. If you want it, you have it.

0:01:250:01:29

And the next buy is mine.

0:01:290:01:30

THEY LAUGH

0:01:300:01:31

And by the auction, the Reds are feeling the tension.

0:01:310:01:35

If I were any more nervous, you'd need a bucket and mop.

0:01:350:01:37

And the Blues are thoroughly enjoying themselves.

0:01:390:01:42

Hurray! Well done.

0:01:420:01:44

But all of that is for later. Now is the time to meet our teams.

0:01:450:01:49

For the Reds today, we have married couple Nicola and Rob.

0:01:490:01:53

And for the Blue team, we have friends Jill and Jane.

0:01:530:01:56

Welcome, everybody, hello. ALL: Hello!

0:01:560:01:58

Thank you for joining us.

0:01:580:01:59

I'm going to start with the Red team.

0:01:590:02:01

Now, Nicola, I love this, you work in a bank. I do.

0:02:010:02:04

So you're in charge of the money. Yes, I am.

0:02:040:02:06

And are you good with it, that's what I want to know?

0:02:060:02:08

I'd like to think I am good with it. OK, Rob, is that true?

0:02:080:02:11

Well, she'd be breaking a habit of a lifetime if she was.

0:02:110:02:15

Well, you're going to have to prove him wrong today, aren't you?

0:02:150:02:17

Yes, I am, I hope to balance the books later today.

0:02:170:02:20

All about the one-liners, I love it.

0:02:200:02:22

While Nicola's off working in the bank,

0:02:220:02:24

I believe you have the best job in the world. You are your own boss.

0:02:240:02:27

I am my own boss. Well, I like to think I am.

0:02:270:02:30

And you're a sign writer, so I get the impression that you must know

0:02:300:02:33

everybody, because you do all the local businesses, don't you?

0:02:330:02:36

I do, most of the local businesses anyway.

0:02:360:02:38

We do shop signs and factory signs and a lot of van liveries and stuff.

0:02:380:02:43

So I have to design people's images for them.

0:02:430:02:45

Now, tell me about your musical passion as well, Rob.

0:02:450:02:48

Well, since I was about 11, I started to play guitar.

0:02:480:02:51

And at about 19, I was in my first band,

0:02:510:02:54

playing mostly cover versions throughout the Valleys.

0:02:540:02:56

Lately we're in a band, none of us could decide on

0:02:560:02:59

a name for the band, so we are now called The Band With No Name.

0:02:590:03:02

The Band With No Name.

0:03:020:03:03

That works, that sounds like a name you came up with.

0:03:030:03:06

Yes, it does, yeah. And what about Nicola?

0:03:060:03:08

Do you get right to the front, do you wave him on?

0:03:080:03:11

I do a little bit of moshing down the front after a few drinks, yes.

0:03:110:03:15

I'd like to see that, that sounds excellent.

0:03:150:03:17

Now, you've been married for 14 years,

0:03:170:03:19

so obviously you make a great husband and wife.

0:03:190:03:21

But what about a great Bargain Hunt team?

0:03:210:03:23

How do you think that's going to go?

0:03:230:03:25

We've got a bit of a tactic going between us that if I keep the

0:03:250:03:27

money away from Nicola for long enough, it will be a good hour.

0:03:270:03:31

OK, that sounds like an excellent tactic as far as you're concerned.

0:03:310:03:34

I'm not sure about Nicola. And you're here to win.

0:03:340:03:38

Oh, yes, definitely. But we're going to have a good day as well.

0:03:380:03:41

We can have some fun. We're just going to go for it.

0:03:410:03:43

Going to go for it, that is the right attitude.

0:03:430:03:45

And let's see if the Blues share a similar attitude,

0:03:450:03:48

I'm sure they will. Let's move on to Jane and Jill.

0:03:480:03:51

So nice to have you here. Now, Jane, we're going to start with you.

0:03:510:03:54

How do you and Jill know one another? Tell us your story.

0:03:540:03:57

We work together in a local charity called Merthyr and the Valleys Mind.

0:03:570:04:02

We've known each other about two years, and we get on very well.

0:04:020:04:06

We're good pals in work. Oh, that's fantastic. And you love your job.

0:04:060:04:10

Of course, yes. We have a good time there.

0:04:100:04:12

And, Jill, what's your role at the charity?

0:04:120:04:14

At the moment I work on a project called active monitoring,

0:04:140:04:18

so I actually work out of a doctor's surgery,

0:04:180:04:21

and the doctor refers people to me with mild to moderate anxiety.

0:04:210:04:26

And I see them for six to eight sessions.

0:04:260:04:29

And hopefully help them improve their wellbeing.

0:04:290:04:32

I'm sure you very much do.

0:04:320:04:34

Now, I heard a little rumour about Jane that she is quite

0:04:340:04:37

accident prone. I want to hear about all these accidents.

0:04:370:04:40

Well, she sat on an antique table and broke it.

0:04:400:04:43

That's not a good sign for today. No, it's not a good start, no.

0:04:430:04:46

She fused all the electrics in work. She tips things.

0:04:460:04:50

I'm going to really have to be careful with her today

0:04:500:04:52

and keep her away from anything that's breakable, because...

0:04:520:04:54

I've already asked Jill, "Please don't let me pick anything up."

0:04:540:04:57

Jill can do any of the picking up. The ?300 is going to end up

0:04:570:05:01

being a refund, I think. You break, you buy.

0:05:010:05:04

THEY LAUGH And what about tactics?

0:05:040:05:06

Obviously, you're great mates,

0:05:060:05:07

but do you think you'll make a great team on Bargain Hunt?

0:05:070:05:10

Well, this is the spender, and I think I'll have to rein her in

0:05:100:05:13

a little bit, just so she doesn't go over the top.

0:05:130:05:15

You'll be the calming influence. A calming influence, yes, hopefully.

0:05:150:05:18

Because I love to spend.

0:05:180:05:20

I think we're going to go middle of the road. Middle of the road.

0:05:200:05:23

OK, so mid-price. But that might change completely.

0:05:230:05:27

Believe me, it well. The best laid schemes and all that.

0:05:270:05:30

Now, money is important because you need some to go shopping.

0:05:300:05:33

So I'm going to give the Reds ?300, and just to be fair,

0:05:330:05:36

the Blues get ?300, too.

0:05:360:05:38

You each have an expert waiting for you, so off you go and find them.

0:05:380:05:42

Well, by the sounds of things, I'd best get the accident book out.

0:05:420:05:47

So, let's meet today's experts.

0:05:470:05:49

He has a head for antiques, it is Thomas Plant for the Reds.

0:05:500:05:54

And 'ello, 'ello, 'ello.

0:05:550:05:56

Who do we have here for the Blues?

0:05:560:05:58

It's Kate Bliss.

0:05:580:05:59

So, ladies, are you excited?

0:06:000:06:02

Yes. Yes, very excited.

0:06:020:06:03

What are you going to be looking for, Jane?

0:06:030:06:05

Something dog related for me, please.

0:06:050:06:07

A little bit shiny. Shiny! A little bit retro.

0:06:070:06:09

Something ceramic. Something sort of Art Deco-ish.

0:06:090:06:13

And a little bit stylish. Like yourself, Thomas.

0:06:130:06:15

Like the three of us here today.

0:06:150:06:16

Right, teams.

0:06:160:06:17

ENGINE ENGAGES Your time starts now.

0:06:170:06:21

SHE HONKS HORN

0:06:210:06:22

Shall we go and spend some money? Yes. Come on, then. Come on.

0:06:220:06:24

Let's go.

0:06:240:06:26

Let's just see how much of their ?300 our teams spend today.

0:06:260:06:30

Blues, these look colourful.

0:06:300:06:32

I love the little Welsh blankets. Aren't they nice?

0:06:320:06:36

They're very fashionable at the moment, aren't they?

0:06:360:06:38

Yes. I like the blue ones.

0:06:380:06:40

That one caught my eye. ?75.

0:06:400:06:42

Yes, it's a bit more folky, isn't it?

0:06:420:06:44

At auction, unfortunately, you're probably not going to get ?70-?90.

0:06:440:06:48

Oh, no.

0:06:480:06:50

Best move on then.

0:06:500:06:51

How are the Reds measuring up?

0:06:520:06:54

It's like a gypsy caravan, isn't it? Yes. It is. But it's modelled.

0:06:540:06:58

But it is a tape measure.

0:06:580:07:00

Is it? Oh, wow. There it is. Isn't that fun? Yeah.

0:07:000:07:03

It's not got that much age because it's metric.

0:07:030:07:06

It is metric, you're quite right.

0:07:060:07:08

It's a nice thing though. It's not a gypsy caravan.

0:07:080:07:11

Oh, it's a bathing belle. Yeah, it's a bathing carriage.

0:07:110:07:14

It's ?130.

0:07:140:07:16

I think on your first foray into this, it's quite expensive. Yes.

0:07:160:07:20

So, the Reds are parking the caravan.

0:07:200:07:22

Our teams appear to have expensive taste today.

0:07:220:07:25

Blues, what do you think about this sampler?

0:07:250:07:28

Yes, colour's good. Yes. It is, isn't it?

0:07:280:07:30

Particularly with those lovely red flowers in the border. Yeah.

0:07:300:07:32

The ones that make the most money are signed and dated.

0:07:320:07:35

Yeah. Or we know the age of the person who's done it.

0:07:350:07:38

I can see we've got a name there, Ann Mills, at the bottom.

0:07:380:07:40

Yeah. But no date.

0:07:400:07:42

No. I would say it's about 1830, 1840. About William IV.

0:07:420:07:45

Plenty of age then. Yeah, yeah.

0:07:450:07:49

It's ?150 though, ladies.

0:07:490:07:51

Again, too pricey.

0:07:510:07:53

So, no items sewn up for our teams just yet.

0:07:530:07:56

Check out those boots. Those boots!

0:07:560:07:58

Do you think they're your size, Jane? Whoa! Wow!

0:07:580:08:00

Imagine me walking in those.

0:08:000:08:02

That'd be an accident waiting to happen.

0:08:020:08:04

It certainly is with your accident-prone reputation, Jane.

0:08:040:08:07

Now, what has our musician, Rob, spotted?

0:08:070:08:10

What do you think about the double bass or cello?

0:08:100:08:14

What do you like about it? It's different, isn't it?

0:08:140:08:17

Why did you spot it, Rob?

0:08:170:08:18

Being a musician, I tend to generate towards these things, yes.

0:08:180:08:22

So, what you've got is...

0:08:220:08:23

It looks like a white metal, so it could possibly be silver.

0:08:230:08:27

It's got one of these rotating clasps

0:08:270:08:29

which sort of helps you date it. Yes.

0:08:290:08:31

It's not going to be an old thing.

0:08:310:08:33

It's got a bit of weight. It's quite a solid piece.

0:08:330:08:35

I can't see a hallmark on it.

0:08:350:08:38

But I do like it. It's got a bit of look.

0:08:380:08:40

What kind of date would you put on there?

0:08:400:08:42

I'd say it's sort of in the last 10, 20 years.

0:08:420:08:45

Do you want to see what the best price is?

0:08:450:08:46

Yes, please. Yes, yes.

0:08:460:08:48

So, you've got ?40 on your silver stringed instrument.

0:08:480:08:50

Yes. What could be?

0:08:500:08:52

35.

0:08:520:08:54

A bit less, ?30?

0:08:540:08:56

For this, I could meet you at 33.

0:08:560:08:58

What do you think, guys?

0:08:590:09:01

32? 32.

0:09:010:09:02

What you want to do, Rob? You tell me.

0:09:020:09:04

We'll go for that. Yes. You want to go for it. Yes.

0:09:040:09:07

Yes, please. First item. Thank you very much. You're welcome.

0:09:070:09:09

Music to my ears, the first item for the Reds in just 12 minutes.

0:09:090:09:14

Jane, dog-related items were on your shopping list.

0:09:140:09:17

Feel the weight on that!

0:09:170:09:19

Oh, yeah. That is heavy, isn't it?

0:09:190:09:22

It's not very old though. No. They're lovely.

0:09:220:09:25

They're pointers, aren't they? Yeah. Yes.

0:09:250:09:26

Look at them, they've scented something. Yes.

0:09:260:09:28

They're quite nicely cast.

0:09:280:09:30

Silver plate rather than silver.

0:09:300:09:32

We haven't got any hallmarks and if you look at the base,

0:09:320:09:35

you can see there's a silver coating on it.

0:09:350:09:37

So, it's not silver.

0:09:370:09:38

So, weight doesn't mean anything really, then. Exactly, no.

0:09:380:09:41

What can you do for us on these lovely dogs?

0:09:410:09:44

You can have them for 30. How's that?

0:09:440:09:46

Perhaps it's something to come back to a bit later.

0:09:460:09:48

Yeah, well, we can certainly bear it in mind, can't we?

0:09:480:09:50

Jane, I thought you liked to spend lots of money.

0:09:500:09:53

You've not spent a thing.

0:09:530:09:55

Maybe this will set things on fire.

0:09:550:09:57

When you said you like ceramics, Jane... Yes.

0:09:570:10:00

Do you like that kind of ceramics?

0:10:000:10:02

Well, not really.

0:10:020:10:03

A little bit too scary. What is the price on it?

0:10:030:10:07

It's quite a lot. 95.

0:10:070:10:09

Yeah, I don't think I'd have him in my house. No. No.

0:10:090:10:11

That's a no then.

0:10:110:10:13

Reds, are you trotting along nicely?

0:10:140:10:16

They're quite nice. They are fun, actually, aren't they?

0:10:160:10:18

They're quite rusty though.

0:10:180:10:19

Would you have them on your gates? I'd have to...

0:10:190:10:22

Make some gates. We'd have to have a gate first.

0:10:220:10:25

Yeah, you'd have to have a gate first. Yeah, first, to put them on.

0:10:250:10:27

Maybe you'll find some gates here at Builth.

0:10:270:10:29

There's so much choice.

0:10:290:10:31

So much choice in fact,

0:10:310:10:32

the Blues have had even found more Welsh blankets.

0:10:320:10:34

These are beautiful. They are lovely, aren't they?

0:10:340:10:37

Lovely. Yeah. Cosy.

0:10:370:10:39

Yes, they're very warm. Yes. On a cold day like this.

0:10:390:10:42

Can we buy one so as I can take it with me?

0:10:420:10:45

Feeling cold, Jill?

0:10:460:10:47

You need to run around this huge fair.

0:10:470:10:49

That will warm you up.

0:10:490:10:51

Ah, Reds. You wanted to buy something shiny.

0:10:510:10:53

Little silver milk churn. That's ever so sweet, isn't it?

0:10:540:10:57

Oh, and it's Chester silver.

0:10:570:10:59

And it's Saunders and Shepherd, are the makers for it.

0:10:590:11:03

And they were silversmiths in London and Chester,

0:11:030:11:07

and they did all these lovely novelty items.

0:11:070:11:10

And it's a screw off lid.

0:11:100:11:12

You put your pepper in there. Do you like that, Rob?

0:11:130:11:15

Yeah. I do like that.

0:11:150:11:17

It's a bit more at unusual, isn't it? It is. It's lovely.

0:11:170:11:20

How much is it? SELLER: 60 quid.

0:11:200:11:22

?60. Is that your very, very best?

0:11:220:11:24

Very best, 50.

0:11:240:11:26

If we could have a slight four in front of that number...?

0:11:260:11:29

48. 48?

0:11:290:11:31

Yeah. Can we deal at 48? Are you happy with that? Yes, we are.

0:11:310:11:34

Thank you very much.

0:11:340:11:36

Well done, Reds. Second item bought in 18 minutes.

0:11:360:11:39

You must be pleased with how it's going, Thomas.

0:11:390:11:42

We've got two items in the bag. Admittedly, they're really small.

0:11:420:11:46

I think we've fulfilled their shiny requirement.

0:11:460:11:49

Hopefully, we'll get something big as their third and final item.

0:11:490:11:53

And maybe something retro, Thomas?

0:11:530:11:55

That was also on the shopping list.

0:11:550:11:57

What on earth is that?

0:11:570:11:58

Now, the Blues are yet to open their purse,

0:11:580:12:00

and Jill must still be feeling chilly,

0:12:000:12:02

as, surprise, surprise,

0:12:020:12:04

yet more Welsh blankets!

0:12:040:12:06

Now, ladies, we've looked at a lot of Welsh blankets already.

0:12:060:12:09

Yeah. Yeah. But I've just spotted these two.

0:12:090:12:11

This one is quite a nice, soft one, isn't it?

0:12:110:12:13

It's quite a good size, as well. It is, yeah.

0:12:130:12:15

But this one has got the Real Welsh label on,

0:12:150:12:18

which is quite nice, all pure wool.

0:12:180:12:20

I've just spoken to the stallholder, he'll do the two for 35.

0:12:200:12:23

SHE GASPS

0:12:230:12:24

My God. Really?

0:12:240:12:26

But, but, there is a bit of a repair to it, as you can see.

0:12:260:12:30

Somebody's hand-stitched along the edge there, just to consolidate it,

0:12:300:12:34

and repair it. So it has had a little bit of wear.

0:12:340:12:38

Some would say, "I don't mind that,

0:12:380:12:40

"it makes it look a little bit folksy." Yeah.

0:12:400:12:42

It shows it's got a little bit of age.

0:12:420:12:44

So, what do we think?

0:12:440:12:46

I quite like it. Yeah, absolutely. 35. Definitely.

0:12:460:12:49

Yeah, I think we should go for it. Yeah, perfect. Fantastic!

0:12:490:12:52

Our first item, and only 20 minutes gone. Brilliant! Brilliant!

0:12:520:12:56

How quick are you?

0:12:560:12:57

Not as quick as the Reds, Kate.

0:12:580:13:00

They have two items already, but finally,

0:13:000:13:02

you've made your first purchase.

0:13:020:13:04

Now, as we're in the heart of the farming community here in Wales,

0:13:050:13:08

I'm meeting Peter Cox from the nearby Rhayader Museum,

0:13:080:13:12

who has brought along some early 20th-century agricultural objects

0:13:120:13:16

to show me.

0:13:160:13:17

Peter, thank you for bringing these items with you.

0:13:170:13:20

Keen to know more, I think we should start with this one here.

0:13:200:13:22

Is it OK if I grab it? Sure, yes. Absolutely.

0:13:220:13:25

So, what do you think that is? I don't know.

0:13:250:13:28

It seems like a small gardening tool?

0:13:280:13:30

What you're really talking about is something which would be used

0:13:300:13:34

to break up molehills. Oh.

0:13:340:13:36

So it would be smashed into the molehill, and raked out.

0:13:360:13:39

This would have been made on the farm,

0:13:390:13:41

here in the Cambrian Mountains.

0:13:410:13:43

Is it a kind of make do and mend piece?

0:13:430:13:45

Well, hill farmers are a long way from any shops.

0:13:450:13:47

And, if you need a tool to do a job, you often make it,

0:13:470:13:50

historically, certainly.

0:13:500:13:51

So, this will have been ground down from different bits of metal

0:13:510:13:55

around the farmyard. It's got a bit of heft in it, a bit of weight.

0:13:550:13:58

So it's quite good for really getting the job done.

0:13:580:14:00

Quite substantial.

0:14:000:14:02

So, does it have a substantial value?

0:14:020:14:04

The story is what's valuable with it.

0:14:040:14:06

But, if you're looking on a good day, ?20-?25.

0:14:060:14:09

I'd never have guessed it was a molehill rake,

0:14:090:14:11

so that's that mystery solved.

0:14:110:14:13

We'll put it down. And then,

0:14:130:14:15

something that I also can't quite figure out.

0:14:150:14:18

What do you think it is? Do you know, I don't know.

0:14:180:14:20

It's called The Aero... Yeah.

0:14:200:14:21

..so it's got to have something to do with dispersing things...?

0:14:210:14:25

Yeah. I think you should, perhaps, put it on.

0:14:250:14:28

Oh, show me how. Over your left shoulder.

0:14:280:14:30

OK. Thank you so much.

0:14:300:14:31

And then you've got this rod going across,

0:14:310:14:34

and if you draw your hand left and right...

0:14:340:14:36

That's it. OK. Oh, look at that. Look at that.

0:14:360:14:38

Oh, the wheel of fortune turning, there.

0:14:380:14:41

So, if you imagine this bag is full of grass seed,

0:14:410:14:44

and it's for broadcasting seed.

0:14:440:14:46

Which is for spreading seed when you're reseeding a field.

0:14:460:14:50

OK, so seed goes through the bag... Yeah.

0:14:500:14:52

..into the blades... Into the spinner.

0:14:520:14:54

..and then, off they get thrown! That's right. How far can they go?

0:14:540:14:57

They can go up to about four metres. No. It's called a seed fiddle.

0:14:570:15:00

It's a seed... Of course it is, it's a seed fiddle!

0:15:000:15:02

So, if you imagine racing up and down a field,

0:15:020:15:05

you'd be doing it very fast.

0:15:050:15:06

It does look like you're playing a fiddle from a distance.

0:15:060:15:08

You'd look a bit bonkers, from a distance. Yeah.

0:15:080:15:11

It's absolutely brilliant. So tell me when this was produced.

0:15:110:15:13

This particular artefact was around about 1940.

0:15:130:15:16

1940, right, OK. Yeah.

0:15:160:15:18

On the farm, people were really needing things

0:15:180:15:20

that are not going to cost a lot of money... Of course.

0:15:200:15:22

..that are not going to involve great resources of fuel,

0:15:220:15:24

or anything like that. So this is a really practical thing.

0:15:240:15:27

Now, this was only worth about 25 on a good day.

0:15:270:15:30

I'm guessing that this is a slightly different echelon.

0:15:300:15:34

Yeah. 120, 125, perhaps. Really?

0:15:340:15:36

Yeah. Some of our viewers might even remember people using them.

0:15:360:15:39

Some parents and grandparents from farming communities will recognise

0:15:390:15:42

it, and possibly have one tucked away in the barn somewhere, as well.

0:15:420:15:45

Thank you very much for telling me about these wonderful items, Peter.

0:15:450:15:47

Pleasure. Well, it's back to the shopping, now.

0:15:470:15:50

Let's see if our Reds and Blues are sowing the seeds

0:15:500:15:53

of some healthy profits.

0:15:530:15:55

We're approaching the halfway point, and it's 2-1 to the Reds.

0:15:550:15:59

So, Blues, are you a fan of tribal art?

0:15:590:16:02

I like things like that. It's so unusual.

0:16:020:16:05

It's not something you're going to pick up in the supermarket.

0:16:050:16:08

Well, that's true. Not in the supermarkets I go to, anyway. No.

0:16:080:16:11

I think before we go any further,

0:16:110:16:12

we'd better find out how much it is. Yeah.

0:16:120:16:14

Do you want to go and have a word, Jane?

0:16:140:16:16

Ask the stallholder, see what he thinks.

0:16:160:16:18

Maybe he can tell you a bit more about it. OK, just a moment.

0:16:180:16:20

Off you go, Jane. Reds, what's the plan for your third item?

0:16:200:16:24

I think I have fulfilled your requirement for shiny.

0:16:240:16:28

Yes. You have, yes. Definitely. Is that done? That's done.

0:16:280:16:31

Is that washed out of your system? Yeah. Got rid of that, yes.

0:16:310:16:34

Yeah. Right, OK.

0:16:340:16:35

Next thing was sort of something retro and stylish. Yes.

0:16:350:16:40

Could be some glass, could be a piece of furniture. Yeah. Yeah.

0:16:400:16:43

Let's see what turns up, then.

0:16:430:16:44

Jane, what did you find out about the tribal mask?

0:16:450:16:49

You're looking happy.

0:16:490:16:50

He said it was 65, but he'll sell it to us for 55.

0:16:500:16:53

OK. And it's natural, it's not made for the tourist trade.

0:16:530:16:56

Mm. That's what struck me. I quite like that, yes. Do you, now?

0:16:560:16:59

Do you like it? No, I don't like it at all. I quite like it.

0:16:590:17:02

But if you want it, you have it.

0:17:020:17:04

And the next buy is mine.

0:17:040:17:06

THEY LAUGH

0:17:060:17:07

You think there's any profit in it?

0:17:070:17:09

Well, I have to say, it's all about patina.

0:17:090:17:11

And it has got a nice feel about it.

0:17:110:17:13

If you look here,

0:17:130:17:15

can you see where it's just a little bit shiny on the top, here?

0:17:150:17:18

And that's just from where it's been handled.

0:17:180:17:20

Turn it over, and we can see how it's been carved out of one piece,

0:17:200:17:24

here in the centre.

0:17:240:17:26

At auction, I would probably put a, sort of, ?50-?80 estimate on it.

0:17:260:17:31

Ooh. Shall I ask him to go five pound more off?

0:17:310:17:34

Might as well try.

0:17:340:17:35

And see if it'll can go down a little bit more.

0:17:350:17:37

Go on, then, Jane. Go back to him.

0:17:370:17:39

See if you can work your magic, Jane.

0:17:390:17:41

Is she good at haggling? She is pretty good, yes.

0:17:410:17:44

Is she? She usually her own way, as well. Does she? Yeah.

0:17:440:17:47

Hmm. Let's find out.

0:17:470:17:48

What news? ?50. SHE GASPS

0:17:480:17:51

Jane, you've done it. Shall we do it?

0:17:510:17:52

Well done! Shall we have it?

0:17:520:17:53

Yeah, OK, we'll go for it. Are you sure? You're going with the flow?

0:17:530:17:56

Yes, I'll go with the flow.

0:17:560:17:57

I think we ought to go before she changes her mind. Yes.

0:17:570:17:59

?50, you've got two things, well done ladies!

0:17:590:18:01

And that makes it two-all.

0:18:010:18:03

Are you pleased?

0:18:030:18:05

I'm really happy with what we've got so far.

0:18:050:18:07

A bit of Welsh, a bit of African. What's next?

0:18:070:18:11

What country shall we go to next?

0:18:110:18:13

I think we should stick with the Welsh, I've got to be honest.

0:18:130:18:16

Stick with Welsh? Yeah. If we can, yeah.

0:18:160:18:18

And, Kate, what's your verdict?

0:18:180:18:20

They've done brilliantly on the blankets -

0:18:200:18:22

I think that's a nice buy.

0:18:220:18:23

They both love those.

0:18:230:18:25

But now Jane is streaking ahead on the choices.

0:18:250:18:28

I've just got a feeling that Jill might get her own back.

0:18:280:18:31

Well, Kate, Jill did say that the third item

0:18:310:18:34

was going to be her choice.

0:18:340:18:36

Now, Reds, this games table looks earlier than retro,

0:18:360:18:39

but it does look fun.

0:18:390:18:41

You've got backgammon, chess.

0:18:410:18:43

Wow. That's beautiful.

0:18:430:18:45

I would've that is going to be Anglo-Indian, Indo-Portuguese,

0:18:450:18:49

1920s to 1950s - any of that date.

0:18:490:18:53

And that folds over, and then it's a table on the top.

0:18:530:18:56

Right. I like that a lot. Really? Yes, I do.

0:18:560:18:59

Does this sort of thing sell? No.

0:18:590:19:01

But that's beside the point - you like it.

0:19:010:19:03

BOTH LAUGH How much is it?

0:19:030:19:06

We've got 400 on it. 400.

0:19:060:19:07

We haven't got ?400.

0:19:070:19:09

What have we spent? ?80. 80. ?80.

0:19:090:19:12

We've got 220. I need, probably, a fiver or something.

0:19:120:19:14

200. 200?

0:19:140:19:16

Is that the absolute best you could do, to give us a fighting chance?

0:19:160:19:19

He started at ?400!

0:19:190:19:20

I'll tell you what, 190, and that's it. 190. That is it.

0:19:200:19:23

I like your...your...gumption!

0:19:230:19:28

Your cheekiness.

0:19:280:19:29

Can we think about it? Would you mind holding it for us?

0:19:290:19:32

No, not at all. Thank you. We've got it...

0:19:320:19:34

Wow, that was a considerable reduction, Reds.

0:19:340:19:37

Maybe one to think about. Could be a game changer.

0:19:370:19:41

Now, Jill, your time to choose. What have you found?

0:19:410:19:44

It's a cow. It's a butter dish.

0:19:440:19:46

It's a butter dish! That's unusual. Yeah.

0:19:460:19:48

Where's Kate? Kate!

0:19:480:19:50

What have you got, ladies? What do you think of this?

0:19:500:19:53

It's a little butter dish. Yeah. It's really fun.

0:19:530:19:56

It's moulded glass. Not cut glass, importantly.

0:19:560:20:00

A moulded, star-cut base.

0:20:000:20:02

It's '30s in style, I would say, but it might be a little bit later -

0:20:020:20:06

it might be '50s.

0:20:060:20:07

And then the lid, which is silver-plated,

0:20:070:20:10

fits on the top there quite nicely.

0:20:100:20:12

I like the way the handles come up to hold the lid on.

0:20:120:20:14

Yeah. With your rather nice cow handle on there.

0:20:140:20:18

How much is the butter dish, please?

0:20:180:20:20

I've got 15 on that. OK.

0:20:200:20:22

Would you take a little bit less?

0:20:220:20:24

I'll take ten. All right, thank you.

0:20:240:20:26

Let's leave it there for the moment. Yeah. Have a quick squinny around...

0:20:260:20:30

And we can always come back to it. Yeah.

0:20:300:20:31

Another one to add to the list, Blues.

0:20:310:20:34

Reds, are you sticking to your list?

0:20:340:20:36

There's quite a cool stall over there, like a retro stall.

0:20:360:20:39

Shall we have a look over there? Yes. OK, yeah.

0:20:390:20:41

Hm, it looks like they are. Get stuck in.

0:20:410:20:43

OBJECTS CLATTER

0:20:430:20:45

I wasn't near it.

0:20:450:20:46

I didn't mean literally, Thomas. Oh, dear.

0:20:460:20:49

Derek...is...

0:20:490:20:50

I am sorry. I didn't touch you. NICOLE LAUGHS

0:20:500:20:53

Poor Derek. Move away, Thomas. You best join the rest.

0:20:530:20:57

The trunk is good, isn't it? Yes.

0:20:570:20:59

It's got the dome top - not as popular, sometimes.

0:20:590:21:02

But...that's lovely, isn't it?

0:21:020:21:04

A good original lining, love this decoration round there.

0:21:040:21:07

It looks quite sort of Eastern European. Yeah.

0:21:070:21:10

There's a little bit of a split in the bottom.

0:21:100:21:12

Shall we just close it? Do you want to just pull that hinge forward.

0:21:120:21:15

It's got the original hinge, which is good.

0:21:150:21:17

I quite like... What's on the front here? What's on the front?

0:21:170:21:20

Oh, look, a metal base. That's good, isn't it? Yes.

0:21:200:21:24

It's a sign of quality, that.

0:21:240:21:25

See, that would stop the water from coming up.

0:21:250:21:27

So a proper travel trunk.

0:21:270:21:29

What would you say the wood is made of,

0:21:290:21:31

this part is made of?

0:21:310:21:32

So, I think this is going to be some form of leather,

0:21:320:21:34

you know, animal hide.

0:21:340:21:36

This wood here is going to be quite a laminate type of wood,

0:21:360:21:40

like an ash, which bends.

0:21:400:21:41

What's the price, Nicola? It's 195.

0:21:410:21:44

I think it is much more saleable than the table we've seen.

0:21:440:21:48

Decisions, decisions.

0:21:490:21:51

Now, the Blues have ventured outside.

0:21:510:21:54

So, is this on the right frequency?

0:21:540:21:56

You get Radio 1 on now. THEY LAUGH

0:21:560:21:59

You'd have to rewire it, probably.

0:21:590:22:01

A lot of people are using the lovely Art Deco shape,

0:22:010:22:04

the retro look of them, and putting modern radios inside.

0:22:040:22:08

It's a lovely shape, it's got a lovely retro feel to it.

0:22:080:22:12

55 is the price.

0:22:120:22:14

What's your very best on that?

0:22:140:22:16

40 is the best we can do. 40 is the best. Yeah.

0:22:160:22:19

Well, Jill, it's your buy - what do you think?

0:22:190:22:21

I do like the butter dish.

0:22:210:22:23

But it was only ?10,

0:22:230:22:24

and I would prefer to spend just a little bit more.

0:22:240:22:26

What's this? The Blues want to spend some MORE money?

0:22:260:22:30

But it's your choice, Jill.

0:22:300:22:31

Looks like the Reds have decided to negotiate for the trunk,

0:22:330:22:35

priced at ?195.

0:22:350:22:38

And they have some tactics up their sleeves, too.

0:22:380:22:41

We'll send you in first. Yeah... Then we'll come in.

0:22:410:22:43

I'm like the cannon fodder, aren't I? We'll cover you.

0:22:430:22:46

And this time watch your step, Thomas.

0:22:460:22:48

What's the best?

0:22:480:22:50

Well, you know, I can't be the buyer as well as the seller.

0:22:500:22:53

No. You've got to make me an offer. OK.

0:22:530:22:55

Could I offer you ?100 for it? Hell no.

0:22:560:22:58

Why not?!

0:22:580:23:00

It's an offer! You asked me.

0:23:000:23:02

I could go to 145.

0:23:020:23:06

What about 115?

0:23:060:23:08

120. 120. Can we do 119, please?

0:23:100:23:14

We couldn't. It's got to be 120.

0:23:140:23:16

Rob, I applaud you for trying, but 120, it's a deal.

0:23:160:23:19

Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much.

0:23:190:23:22

Well, it worked. Job done.

0:23:220:23:25

Now, Blues, with 10 minutes left, what's it going to be,

0:23:250:23:28

a butter dish or the radio?

0:23:280:23:30

What do you think, Jane? I don't particularly like it,

0:23:300:23:33

I've got to be honest. OK. But it's Jill's choice on this one,

0:23:330:23:36

I had the choice on the previous one.

0:23:360:23:37

You liked the butter dish, didn't you? I quite liked the butter dish.

0:23:370:23:40

Shall be go back and get it? Shall we get it?

0:23:400:23:42

We can go for a cup of tea, then. OK, we're going for the butter dish.

0:23:420:23:46

Final answer? Final answer.

0:23:460:23:48

We'd better run. If it's still there. We'd better run.

0:23:480:23:50

Are you sure about that, Jill?

0:23:500:23:53

It's this one, yeah. You sure it wasn't that one? No, this one.

0:23:530:23:57

You need to find it first.

0:23:570:23:58

Is it still there? Yes, it's still there.

0:24:000:24:02

Yes, oh, thank goodness for that. Yes, it's still here.

0:24:020:24:04

OK for ?10 for this one, yeah? Wonderful. Well done. We've done it.

0:24:040:24:09

Well done, Blues. All done with minutes left.

0:24:090:24:12

HORN BLARES

0:24:120:24:13

Right, teams, your time is up

0:24:140:24:16

and let's find out what the Red team brought.

0:24:160:24:19

First up, Nicola and Rob are hoping this silver cello brooch

0:24:190:24:22

will hit the right note at auction bought for ?32.

0:24:220:24:26

Next, the Reds wanted something shiny

0:24:260:24:28

and they bought this shiny pepper pot for ?48.

0:24:280:24:32

And finally will this wooden trunk turn into a treasure chest?

0:24:330:24:37

?120 paid.

0:24:370:24:39

Did you enjoy it? We did, we loved it. Yes.

0:24:390:24:41

I bet you enjoyed it cos Thomas did all the hard work.

0:24:410:24:43

He did, yes. Thank you, Thomas. No, no, they did a lot of the hard work.

0:24:430:24:48

You spotted items. You were really, really good.

0:24:480:24:50

But then we sent the Rottweiler in to do the deed.

0:24:500:24:52

Well, I think you had the right idea,

0:24:520:24:54

cos you got some good discounts, so well done.

0:24:540:24:57

Now, Nicola, tell me, which of the three is your favourite item?

0:24:570:25:00

I love the little pepper pot that you spotted.

0:25:000:25:03

You think that's going to bring the biggest profit at auction?

0:25:030:25:06

I do, yes, definitely.

0:25:060:25:06

OK, so you're putting your money in the pepper pot? Yes.

0:25:060:25:09

Rob, are you on the same page? No, I like the brooch.

0:25:090:25:11

You think it's going to bring the biggest profit?

0:25:110:25:13

No, actually I agree with Nicola on this one, the pepper pot. Fantastic.

0:25:130:25:17

Well, ?200 is what you spent... Yes.

0:25:170:25:20

..which leaves one third of the money.

0:25:200:25:21

If I could take ?100 from you, Nicola, that would be great.

0:25:210:25:24

Here you are. Thank you. And do you know where it's going?

0:25:240:25:26

Thomas has plans... The Rottweiler, as you called him.

0:25:260:25:29

Now, where are you going to go with that?

0:25:290:25:31

Are you going to bark up someone's tree?

0:25:310:25:33

I've got to go and bark around the stallholders.

0:25:330:25:35

No, no, no, I'm not going to do that.

0:25:350:25:37

I'm going to find something with a bit of style for you.

0:25:370:25:40

Oh! That's what we need. Finish the day. Thank you.

0:25:400:25:43

So while Thomas hunts for a stylish item for the Reds,

0:25:430:25:47

let's remind ourselves what those Blues brought.

0:25:470:25:50

First up, Jane and Jill hope they've got it wrapped up

0:25:500:25:53

with these Welsh blankets bought for ?35.

0:25:530:25:55

Next up, Jane liked this mask, Jill didn't, but they bought it for ?50.

0:25:570:26:01

And finally, will they have a spread of the profits

0:26:020:26:05

with this butter dish?

0:26:050:26:06

Bought for ?10.

0:26:060:26:07

Well, well done, ladies.

0:26:070:26:09

You took a very measured approach to your shop,

0:26:090:26:12

quite staggered with your buying, and talking of staggering,

0:26:120:26:14

you didn't fall over, Jane, and break anything. I know.

0:26:140:26:16

It's got to be a first, but there's the auction. Well, well done.

0:26:160:26:20

So of the three items that you bought,

0:26:200:26:22

which was your favourite item?

0:26:220:26:23

It was the butter dish.

0:26:230:26:25

The butter dish with the wee cow handle? That's it.

0:26:250:26:27

Not expensive, though, was it? No, it was only ?10.

0:26:270:26:30

I wanted to spend more.

0:26:300:26:31

Which do you think is going to bring the biggest profit?

0:26:310:26:34

The pair of Welsh blankets. The Welsh blankets.

0:26:340:26:37

Now, Jane, well done for buying tribal art.

0:26:370:26:38

Yes, I know. Is that something you would have wanted

0:26:380:26:40

for your collection anyway?

0:26:400:26:42

I don't think I'd have bought it for myself, but when I saw it,

0:26:420:26:45

I did like it. Had to have it. So is that your favourite of the three?

0:26:450:26:48

It is. It is. Now, what do you think is going to bring the biggest

0:26:480:26:50

profit? I think it's going to be the Welsh blankets. The Welsh blankets.

0:26:500:26:53

So you're on the same page there.

0:26:530:26:55

You didn't spend a huge amount of money.

0:26:550:26:57

No. 95 in total. So who's holding on to ?205? I've got the money.

0:26:570:27:01

I'll take it from you and it gives me great pleasure to hand it

0:27:010:27:04

over to Kate Bliss. ?205, that's quite a lot. Quite a wad, isn't it?

0:27:040:27:08

What are you thinking? I don't know.

0:27:080:27:10

They weren't the best at spending,

0:27:100:27:11

so I'm just going to do it go and do my hardest now to have a splurge.

0:27:110:27:15

Fantastic.

0:27:150:27:16

Well, Kate's off to splurge on a lovely Blue bonus buy

0:27:160:27:19

and we're off to the auction.

0:27:190:27:21

Let's find out how it all goes.

0:27:210:27:23

Well, here I am in Cardiff with Ben Rogers Jones

0:27:310:27:33

of Rogers Jones auction house.

0:27:330:27:35

Hello, Ben. Hello. Hello.

0:27:350:27:37

I'm excited to show you these items,

0:27:370:27:39

small may they be on the Red team.

0:27:390:27:41

We're going to start off with this lovely wee silver brooch

0:27:410:27:45

or can we call it silver, Ben?

0:27:450:27:46

I think it is silver, but unfortunately the hallmarks

0:27:460:27:51

have worn, which will factor in on the price, I'm afraid. Mmm.

0:27:510:27:55

What do you reckon it's worth?

0:27:550:27:56

I think we could fiddle in a value of ?10 to ?15. Oh, is that all?

0:27:560:28:01

Do you know they actually paid ?32?

0:28:010:28:03

HE INHALES A wee bit steep? I think it is.

0:28:030:28:06

Hopefully the buyers will come out in their droves for this brooch.

0:28:060:28:09

Now, both Nicola and Rob rate this pepperette.

0:28:090:28:12

I'm interested to know what you think, Ben.

0:28:120:28:14

I like novelty silver and it's very, very popular.

0:28:140:28:17

Unfortunately, it's quite small and there are some serious dents

0:28:170:28:21

on the body.

0:28:210:28:23

There is one right there. Just above the handle, that's right.

0:28:230:28:25

So I think that will have an impact on the auction price.

0:28:250:28:29

Right, OK. So what have you gone for?

0:28:290:28:31

I have got ?15 to ?25 on that one.

0:28:310:28:33

OK. Well, they paid ?48 for it. But it is their favourite.

0:28:330:28:38

Anyway, let's move on. They went large for their third item.

0:28:380:28:41

Yeah, there are lots of trunks on the market of all shapes and sizes.

0:28:410:28:45

The problem with dome-top trunks is that you can't stack things on top.

0:28:450:28:50

Mm. And also it's got two handles missing. Yeah, they're gone.

0:28:500:28:54

So, estimate? ?30 to ?45.

0:28:540:28:58

That's a little bit sore because the Reds wanted to spend big

0:28:580:29:02

and they spent ?120.

0:29:020:29:04

So on that note they might just need their bonus buy

0:29:040:29:07

so let's find out what Thomas bought.

0:29:070:29:09

Well this is exciting, Nicola and Rob. It is. All round numbers.

0:29:110:29:15

200 spent. 100 left. Yes. Yes. Thomas, I'm terrified.

0:29:150:29:19

To give you ?100 is...

0:29:190:29:21

LAUGHTER

0:29:210:29:22

Oh, my goodness, it's like giving him an inch and he takes a mile.

0:29:220:29:26

Yes. But how far did you go?

0:29:260:29:27

Well, I kept it round. I said I'd get something stylish for you.

0:29:270:29:32

You did. British quality. Have a look. What are they?

0:29:320:29:35

They're napkin rings!

0:29:350:29:38

Bilston Enamel napkin rings.

0:29:380:29:41

Bilston enamel is enamelling on metal which started in

0:29:410:29:46

the 18th century. These are 1930s ones. These are Art Deco.

0:29:460:29:50

And the colour, that sage green, is so now. It is a lovely colour.

0:29:500:29:53

Clearly, Thomas's taste. Are they yours, Nicola?

0:29:530:29:55

I don't know whether I would have these on my dining table

0:29:550:29:59

cos here is only two.

0:29:590:30:00

So you could only have two people around for dinner.

0:30:000:30:03

Just the two of you, you know? Well, yes, yeah, we could do that. Yes.

0:30:030:30:08

And obviously the important question.

0:30:080:30:10

BOTH: How much did you spend?

0:30:100:30:12

Well, ?20. ?20. Oh, I'm pleased with that. I'm pleased with that.

0:30:120:30:17

Yes, that's very nice. That's very good. You've done well.

0:30:170:30:20

Thomas has sold them to the team. He's certainly sold them to me.

0:30:200:30:23

But will the auctioneer the jumping through hoops when

0:30:230:30:26

he sees these napkin rings?

0:30:260:30:27

Well here they are, Ben, these enamelled copper napkin rings.

0:30:280:30:35

Hm. That's not an enthusiastic face, Ben.

0:30:350:30:37

It's a bit of a strange choice really.

0:30:370:30:40

I'm not quite sure whether people

0:30:400:30:43

are using napkin rings at the moment.

0:30:430:30:46

Plain green and gold coloured. You're not thinking less is more?

0:30:460:30:50

I'm thinking, not very attractive in their colour,

0:30:500:30:53

is what I am thinking.

0:30:530:30:54

I don't rate them very highly I'm afraid, Natasha.

0:30:540:30:57

OK, well, does your estimate reflect their plain nature?

0:30:570:31:01

I think it does, yes. ?10 to ?15 on them.

0:31:010:31:05

Well, Thomas only paid ?20, so fingers crossed we get

0:31:050:31:09

a little bit of competition going for the Reds.

0:31:090:31:12

But it's time to move on to our Blues, Jane and Jill.

0:31:120:31:16

Starting with not a mixed blanket but a pure wool set of two blankets.

0:31:160:31:21

Tell us about these.

0:31:210:31:23

They're very, very popular down here in Wales for spreading

0:31:230:31:26

on suites in cottages and for decorating the houses.

0:31:260:31:29

We sell lots of them. They're usually about ?30, ?40 each.

0:31:290:31:33

Although good colours can make more than that.

0:31:330:31:35

For the two we've put ?50 to ?70 on them. The ladies only paid ?35.

0:31:350:31:40

I think they'll sail that.

0:31:400:31:42

Yeah, and I'm really pleased to hear your estimate because they

0:31:420:31:44

both think these will make the most profit.

0:31:440:31:46

But are you going to be as kind about their tribal mask?

0:31:460:31:49

The important thing with tribal art is age.

0:31:490:31:54

Were the pieces crafted prior to the tourist industry?

0:31:540:31:58

Unfortunately this hasn't got much age and that will determine

0:31:580:32:02

its fairly modest value I think.

0:32:020:32:05

We've put ?20 to ?30 on the tribal mask.

0:32:050:32:07

Well, I think Jane might be quite disappointed because she

0:32:070:32:10

convinced Jill that they had to have it at ?50.

0:32:100:32:13

So unless you can convince the buyers to exceed that amount

0:32:130:32:16

they are going to have to depend on this butter dish,

0:32:160:32:20

with this weird little cow handle.

0:32:200:32:22

The problem again is that it doesn't do enough decoratively.

0:32:220:32:26

It's not something you would display.

0:32:260:32:28

And then the other factor against it is that people aren't

0:32:280:32:31

generally using butter as much. You could fill it with anything.

0:32:310:32:35

Who's to say it has to be butter? You could I suppose, granted.

0:32:350:32:37

I'm trying to find positives here. You are an optimist. I like that.

0:32:370:32:40

Am I going to find optimism in your estimate?

0:32:400:32:43

?5 to ?10. That's a no.

0:32:430:32:45

But let me tell you optimistically that the team only paid ?10.

0:32:450:32:49

I think we should moo-ve on! Oh, very good! Well, just in case these

0:32:490:32:53

blankets don't do as well as we hope they will,

0:32:530:32:55

let's move on, as Ben says,

0:32:550:32:56

to the Blues' bonus buy.

0:32:560:32:58

Well, here we are, all the ladies in blue.

0:33:000:33:02

Well, you left Kate a big amount of money to spend. ?205.

0:33:020:33:07

We hope you spent a lot because we didn't. I know you didn't.

0:33:070:33:10

I wanted to spend a lot and I didn't.

0:33:100:33:13

I was on a mission... Oh, good. ..for the one thing we didn't find.

0:33:130:33:18

A dog. Yay!

0:33:180:33:20

LAUGHTER

0:33:200:33:22

He's so cute. I thought he would be a sparkly silver one.

0:33:220:33:25

No, couldn't find a sparkly silver one.

0:33:250:33:27

So there he is. He's a cute little Jack Russell I reckon.

0:33:270:33:31

He's cute. He's in perfect condition.

0:33:310:33:34

He does have a little mark on his tummy there. Beswick? Beswick.

0:33:340:33:38

Exactly. Or some people say "Bes-wick".

0:33:380:33:40

Of course made by that Staffordshire factory founded actually way

0:33:400:33:45

back in the 19th century by Joseph Wright Beswick. How old would he be?

0:33:450:33:50

He's 1960s. Good condition for that age then. And it's a boy dog!

0:33:500:33:54

LAUGHTER

0:33:540:33:56

You checked him out. Oh, Jane.

0:33:560:34:00

Tell us. You're obviously dog lovers.

0:34:000:34:02

Yes. Yes. Would you own this wee chappie? Oh, definitely.

0:34:020:34:05

Yeah, he's cute. How much did you pay for him?

0:34:050:34:08

So, I tried really hard to spend lots. Yeah.

0:34:080:34:10

I actually spent a tenner.

0:34:100:34:12

Never! I did. ?10. I think it's worth more than that.

0:34:120:34:15

Wow! Yeah.

0:34:150:34:17

Let's find out if the auctioneer reckons Kate is barking up

0:34:170:34:20

the right tree with this Beswick model.

0:34:200:34:22

So here it comes. It's lovely. Beswick, which is very collectable.

0:34:230:34:28

There are lots and lots of collectors for Beswick animals.

0:34:280:34:31

It's at the entry-level for the Beswick range.

0:34:310:34:34

I've put ?10 to ?15 on this little Jack Russell. Do you know what?

0:34:340:34:38

That's all right. Kate only paid ten for it.

0:34:380:34:40

And the ladies are so taken by dogs that I would bet my bottom dollar

0:34:400:34:44

on the fact that they'll go for it no matter what's happening.

0:34:440:34:47

Will you be taking the auction today, Ben? I will. Great.

0:34:470:34:50

I look forward to you putting these items under the hammer.

0:34:500:34:52

?50. 60, 70, 80.

0:34:540:34:57

Are you nervous? Excited. Excited. Really excited.

0:34:570:35:00

How do you feel, Rob? Terrified. You don't look terrified.

0:35:000:35:04

If I were any more nervous you'd need a bucket and mop.

0:35:040:35:08

Rob, a true musician,

0:35:080:35:09

you have got your hopes pinned on this lovely little violin brooch.

0:35:090:35:13

I have, yes. So, what can I say? This one's on you. Here it comes.

0:35:130:35:17

AUCTIONEER: Lot 108, a silver brooch in the form of a violin.

0:35:170:35:20

We've got the start at ?15. At 15, is there 18?

0:35:200:35:25

Starting at 15. We need more. ?18, 20 now. Is there 2? 22. 25.

0:35:250:35:31

Is there 8?

0:35:310:35:33

?28. At 28. Go on. Come on. Is there 2? 32. Is there 5?

0:35:330:35:38

35. Oh, yes. Profit. Well done.

0:35:380:35:40

38, ?40. Is there 2? 42. Yes. 42. ?42 and seated. Lady's bid now.

0:35:400:35:46

Last call then at ?42. Yes. Fantastic.

0:35:460:35:50

?42. You have just quickly made a tenner. Well done.

0:35:500:35:55

Now this one's on all of you.

0:35:550:35:56

You think this is going to make the most profit. It's the pepperette.

0:35:560:35:59

You're ?10 in front. You paid 48

0:35:590:36:02

so let's try and get 50 at least. Here it comes.

0:36:020:36:04

AUCTIONEER: Victorian novelty silver miniature pepperette in the form of

0:36:040:36:07

a milk churn.

0:36:070:36:09

I've got to start at ?25. We need double that.

0:36:090:36:12

Where is 8? 28. 30. 2, 5. Go on. At 35, is there 8? Go on.

0:36:120:36:20

At 35. Anybody else then at 35? It's on the book. Everybody done at ?35?

0:36:200:36:25

?35. Oh! 35. That means you've lost ?13.

0:36:250:36:30

You had a tenner, you're now minus 3

0:36:300:36:33

as we move into your scariest lot, the trunk.

0:36:330:36:36

Here it comes.

0:36:360:36:38

AUCTIONEER: The domed trunk in teak with a metal banding. 50.

0:36:380:36:42

Oh, dear.

0:36:420:36:43

Start me at ?40. Come on. This could be bad news. Bid me 30.

0:36:430:36:48

20 if you like. ?20. Against you. 5. 25. 30, standing.

0:36:480:36:54

Is there 5? ?30. 35. Is there 40? They're moving on.

0:36:540:36:58

35. 40 online. At ?40.

0:36:580:37:01

Two bidders online now. 45, 50. Come on.

0:37:010:37:05

5, 60. Thank goodness for the online bidders. I know.

0:37:050:37:08

Last call then at 60. Oh, it's sold at 60.

0:37:080:37:12

Which means you've lost the same amount.

0:37:120:37:15

That's minus 60 and overall

0:37:150:37:17

you're minus 63 in total.

0:37:170:37:19

OK, this is team talk stuff now.

0:37:190:37:21

Because we have got a beautiful pair of napkin rings but we've got

0:37:210:37:26

to make at least ?80 on them to get back to profit.

0:37:260:37:31

Do you think they can do that?

0:37:310:37:33

Bit of a tall order. Bit of a tall order?

0:37:330:37:35

We've got our faith in Thomas here, the lord of the napkin rings!

0:37:350:37:39

I think so yes. OK, Thomas Plant spent ?20.

0:37:390:37:42

The auctioneer, he reckons they're worth ?10 to ?15 the pair.

0:37:420:37:46

But he's known for his cheeky estimates. Cheeky?! Cheeky!

0:37:460:37:51

The boxed vintage Bilston enamel on copper,

0:37:510:37:55

napkin rings in green enamel.

0:37:550:37:57

I've got to start at ?15. OK. At 15. Is there 18? At 15. Where's 18?

0:37:570:38:03

20 with me, sir. Is there 2? 22. Come on. Your bid now.

0:38:030:38:07

Is there 5? 22.

0:38:070:38:08

At 22. In the room the bid. All done? At 22. 22.

0:38:080:38:14

22. ?22. It's a ?2 profit Thomas. Exactly.

0:38:140:38:17

It's a personal victory for Thomas. They made ?2.

0:38:170:38:21

Which means overall you're minus 61, Reds. How do you feel?

0:38:210:38:26

Elated(!)

0:38:260:38:27

Jane, Jill? Yes. How does this feel? This is the moment of truth.

0:38:330:38:36

Are you nervous? Very nervous now but a bit excited.

0:38:360:38:40

Have you broken anything today? Not yet. Phew! That's a good sign.

0:38:400:38:44

I reckon we can make it to the end of the day. I'm sure we can.

0:38:440:38:47

Right, what's our first item? It's Welsh. We're in Wales.

0:38:470:38:51

Those lovely blankets, those colours.

0:38:510:38:53

They're really nice. So beautiful. This is it. Here they come.

0:38:530:38:56

Fingers crossed.

0:38:560:38:57

Real Welsh blankets. Lovely in a cottage. Bid me ?70 for the two.

0:38:570:39:03

50. Come on. That would still be a profit. I've got 30 to start.

0:39:030:39:07

Is there 5? At 35, 40, 5, 50 if you like. Profit. ?50. At 45.

0:39:070:39:13

Everybody done?

0:39:130:39:15

?45. 45, he did well for you there. Good start.

0:39:150:39:19

First of three and you've already

0:39:190:39:22

made ?10. Now you're worried about this tribal mask. Here it comes.

0:39:220:39:26

An African tribal mask. ?30. Bid me 30. Bid me 30. 30 online.

0:39:260:39:33

At 30 straight in. Yes. ?30. At ?30.

0:39:330:39:36

Is there 2? At 30. 2 anywhere? At 30.

0:39:360:39:39

Online, the bid. Anybody else now at 30? Before it goes

0:39:390:39:43

at ?30. ?30. ?30. It is a loss.

0:39:430:39:47

That was bad luck because I thought that would have done it.

0:39:470:39:50

Bad luck but you already had 10 in the bank

0:39:500:39:52

so you've lost 20 which means you're only minus 10.

0:39:520:39:55

Now it comes to the butter dish.

0:39:550:39:58

You only paid a tenner so hopefully we can claw some back. ?20. 15.

0:39:580:40:04

Come on. Bid me 10. 10, thank you. At 10. Any advance now. At ?10.

0:40:040:40:10

Where is 12? At 10. ?10. ?12 at the back. Yes. Is there 15?

0:40:100:40:15

At 12 against you, sir. 15 online. Yes. Is there 18? ?15.

0:40:150:40:20

Are you coming back? Seeing you're both out at ?15. Yes! Well done.

0:40:200:40:26

15. You made a fiver but overall, ladies, you're still in the red.

0:40:260:40:30

Minus 5.

0:40:300:40:32

We're so close!

0:40:320:40:34

So now I've got to ask two dog lovers a very important question.

0:40:340:40:37

Are you going to go for Kate's Beswick dog? Yes.

0:40:370:40:40

Definitely. Did you have a feeling they were going to say that, Kate?

0:40:400:40:44

Maybe. Kate, amazingly only paid ?10 for this.

0:40:440:40:48

You're 5 under so we need it to make ?15 or more and then you

0:40:480:40:53

could come away from Bargain Hunt with a profit.

0:40:530:40:55

Come on. We can do this. It's too exciting. Here it comes.

0:40:550:40:58

AUCTIONEER: The Beswick model Jack Russell. Charming, isn't he?

0:40:580:41:01

?20. ?20 straight in. Thank you.

0:41:010:41:04

Yes! Where is 2 now? At 22 by my side. Is there 5? ?22.

0:41:040:41:10

At ?22, is everybody done? At 22. Last call now at 22.

0:41:100:41:16

Everybody done.

0:41:160:41:17

Hurray! Yes! Well done.

0:41:170:41:20

Which means you made ?12.

0:41:200:41:22

Which means, ladies,

0:41:220:41:23

you've finished in front.

0:41:230:41:24

You've made ?7 profit. Yes! Great!

0:41:240:41:27

You came to Bargain Hunt

0:41:270:41:28

and you can go away saying you made a profit. Yes.

0:41:280:41:31

But will you be the winners?

0:41:310:41:33

Well, that was a brilliant auction, wasn't it? It was. It was.

0:41:370:41:41

Do you know how I'd describe it? I'd describe it as a rollercoaster.

0:41:410:41:45

Because there were ups...and there were downs.

0:41:450:41:48

And today one team finished on the rollercoaster at the top...

0:41:480:41:52

and one team found themselves crashing down to the bottom.

0:41:520:41:56

Our winners today, the Blues.

0:41:580:42:00

CHEERING AND LAUGHTER

0:42:000:42:02

And not a breakage in sight. How good is that?

0:42:020:42:06

Nicola and Rob, you were doing so well.

0:42:060:42:08

You started with ?10 but in the end after all of that how did

0:42:080:42:13

we come away minus ?61?

0:42:130:42:15

I don't quite know. Or do I?

0:42:150:42:17

It was the trunk. Was it the trunk? Yes.

0:42:170:42:19

It was the trunk what done it. It was.

0:42:190:42:22

But we don't mind because it was so much fun. It was.

0:42:220:42:24

We thoroughly enjoyed it. Yes.

0:42:240:42:26

Let's turn to our valiant team today, the Blues.

0:42:260:42:29

I cannot believe that you are such serious winners with only

0:42:290:42:33

a ?7 profit. LAUGHTER

0:42:330:42:36

Unbelievable. And I'm going to give it straight to you

0:42:360:42:38

because it's burning a hole in my pocket.

0:42:380:42:40

There you are, Jane. ?2 and a fiver. Thank you.

0:42:400:42:42

Does that feel good in your hand? It feels very good.

0:42:420:42:45

LAUGHTER

0:42:450:42:46

And are you going to share it with Jill?

0:42:460:42:48

No, we're going to donate it to the charity we work for.

0:42:480:42:51

That's great news. Well done. You are valiant winners.

0:42:510:42:54

And we've all had great fun today, haven't we?

0:42:540:42:56

We have yes. We have yes. Brilliant.
