Today's show comes from the Royal Welsh Showground in Mid Wales.

0:00:020:00:05

Now, young farmers across Wales regularly meet here to compete

0:00:050:00:08

in a whole range of events, including tug-of-war.

0:00:080:00:11

Pull!

0:00:110:00:12

SHOUTING

0:00:120:00:14

And as you know, Bargain Hunt can be a real tug-of-war for our teams,

0:00:140:00:19

-but there can only be one winner, so will it be the Reds...

-Push! Push!

0:00:190:00:22

..or will it be the Blues?

0:00:220:00:24

WHISTLE BLOWS

0:00:260:00:27

Well, the Reds won that one, but will it be the same outcome

0:00:270:00:30

down at the auction today? There's only one way to find out.

0:00:300:00:33

Let's go Bargain Hunting!

0:00:330:00:35

The Royal Welsh Showground here in Builth Wells

0:01:010:01:04

is today home to a HUGE antiques fair and there are over 1,000 stalls

0:01:040:01:10

from which our teams can choose. Now, all the Reds and Blues

0:01:100:01:14

have to do is spend £300 on three items in 60 minutes.

0:01:140:01:18

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

0:01:180:01:21

Coming up on today's show...

0:01:220:01:24

The Reds know what they don't want.

0:01:240:01:26

-What about these?

-No.

0:01:260:01:28

-I got the feeling there was an immediate no from you.

-Yeah, no.

0:01:280:01:31

-No.

-Too much money?

-Yeah.

-No?

0:01:310:01:33

And the Blues know what they really want.

0:01:340:01:37

-Shiny, shiny, shiny, shiny.

-Oh, shiny, shiny, shiny.

-Shiny!

0:01:370:01:40

-Shiny!

-Yeah, I like that a lot.

-Shiny.

-It IS shiny!

0:01:400:01:43

-But will the Reds...

-Yes!

-Hurray.

-Well done.

0:01:430:01:47

-..or the Blues...

-Come on!

-LAUGHTER

0:01:470:01:50

..have the outcome they want at the auction?

0:01:500:01:53

But that's all for later. It's now time to meet today's teams.

0:01:530:01:57

For the Reds, we have mother and daughter Jo and Amanda

0:01:570:02:00

and, for the Blues, partners Helen and Mark.

0:02:000:02:02

- Hello, everybody. - ALL: Hello.

0:02:020:02:04

We're going straight to the Reds to start and straight to you,

0:02:040:02:07

daughter Amanda. Now, I can't help but notice your red-and-blue hair.

0:02:070:02:10

Was that for the occasion, Amanda?

0:02:100:02:12

Yeah, yeah. Well, it's always coloured these days,

0:02:120:02:14

-but it's Bargain Hunt hair.

-It is, it is!

0:02:140:02:16

-It's a new style. Where's yours?

-I know, I did think of it!

0:02:160:02:20

Tell us, what inspired you

0:02:200:02:21

to bring mum Jo along as your team-mate today?

0:02:210:02:23

We don't have much of a crossover on TV programmes that we like,

0:02:230:02:26

but we both like Bargain Hunt.

0:02:260:02:28

-OK.

-And I thought it'd be good to come along here, have a bit of fun,

0:02:280:02:31

a bit of mother-daughter bonding and do something different together.

0:02:310:02:34

OK, so do you go Bargain Hunting in real life together?

0:02:340:02:37

Charity shops we do, don't we, quite a bit.

0:02:370:02:40

And we have done boot fairs in the past.

0:02:400:02:43

And I'm going to ask you about your kids, because you're a mum of two,

0:02:430:02:46

-so that must keep you busy?

-I am, Seve's one and Kiko's eight.

0:02:460:02:49

We do lots of things, go out, lots of places and lots of cookery

0:02:490:02:53

-and stuff like that, but we also love music.

-And, I believe, Amanda,

0:02:530:02:56

you're especially looking forward to the auction.

0:02:560:02:58

Yes, it's on my bucket list, actually.

0:02:580:03:00

Oh, really? So do you think that, as a seller,

0:03:000:03:03

you'll be more excited than you would be as a buyer?

0:03:030:03:06

-I think, when we make lots of money, we'll be very excited.

-Ah!

0:03:060:03:08

Now, tell me, Jo, you're retired, but what was it that you did

0:03:080:03:12

-in your career?

-I was a medical secretary for...

0:03:120:03:15

well, nearly 19 years before I retired.

0:03:150:03:18

Well, you were looking forward to a quiet retirement and then,

0:03:180:03:21

-Amanda had two boys.

-Yeah!

-So now, I'm sure you're equally busy.

0:03:210:03:24

Tell us, as a team, mother and daughter,

0:03:240:03:26

obviously you get along very well,

0:03:260:03:27

but do you think you'll work well together during that 60 minutes?

0:03:270:03:30

-Um?

-No!

0:03:300:03:32

LAUGHTER

0:03:320:03:34

Well, I'm sure you'll do absolutely brilliantly, so good luck.

0:03:340:03:37

Helen, tell us how you and Mark met.

0:03:370:03:39

-How did you get together?

-Met in our local pub about 13 years ago.

0:03:390:03:43

Instant connection. Became friends.

0:03:430:03:45

A couple of holidays and the rest is history.

0:03:450:03:48

-We've been together now for quite a while.

-I love it!

0:03:480:03:51

And tell us what you do for a living, Helen.

0:03:510:03:53

So I'm a manager within a finance company,

0:03:530:03:55

so I look after around about 70 people.

0:03:550:03:58

That's not stress-free. How on earth do you unwind at home?

0:03:580:04:02

Well, I've got a little girl, I've got a two-year-old,

0:04:020:04:04

so most of my time, I come home from, in theory,

0:04:040:04:07

one job and then go straight into the other one.

0:04:070:04:09

Mark stays at home and looks after her all day,

0:04:090:04:12

so typically, when I get home, it's over to me.

0:04:120:04:14

But, Mark, I believe that you are every woman's dream,

0:04:140:04:17

because, when Helen comes home, dinner's ready and on the table.

0:04:170:04:20

-Come on, tell us about that.

-It is most of the time, yes.

0:04:200:04:22

Well, I was a pastry chef for 18 years.

0:04:220:04:25

A pastry chef, how good is that?

0:04:250:04:27

And do you still make pastry regularly?

0:04:270:04:30

Not as much as I used to, but with my little daughter, Isabel,

0:04:300:04:34

-I get her involved as well.

-Oh, lovely. Licks the spoon!

0:04:340:04:38

Tips it all over the floor, normally.

0:04:380:04:39

We spend more time cleaning up than we do actually making stuff.

0:04:390:04:42

But that's what it's all about. And what about a team?

0:04:420:04:44

Obviously, you're great partners,

0:04:440:04:46

but are you going to be great team-mates?

0:04:460:04:48

-Helen, I reckon you're going to be in charge.

-Of course!

0:04:480:04:51

-I'll agree with that.

-We've both got the same tactic,

0:04:510:04:54

which is to spend little and go for items that might make profit.

0:04:540:04:58

-Ah, right, OK.

-However that, coupled with magpie eyes, may go

0:04:580:05:02

-a little bit wrong.

-I might have to rein her in a bit, I think.

0:05:020:05:06

I always love the best-laid schemes of Bargain Hunt contestants.

0:05:060:05:09

It never goes away, you think it will.

0:05:090:05:10

But it's not going to go any way at all without money.

0:05:100:05:13

So, I'm going to give you each £300.

0:05:130:05:16

Reds, that's for you and, Blues, I think this goes to Helen,

0:05:160:05:19

that's for you. And I will tell you your experts are waiting for you,

0:05:190:05:22

so go on, find them, because there are plenty of stalls out there, too.

0:05:220:05:25

Well, it's all happy families for now.

0:05:250:05:27

Let's see if it's the same at the end of the show.

0:05:270:05:30

Waiting for the teams are today's experts.

0:05:300:05:32

He's worldly wise - for the Reds, it's Thomas Plant.

0:05:330:05:37

And coming to the rescue for the Blues - it's Kate Bliss.

0:05:390:05:42

-What are we going to look for today?

-Something pretty in silver.

0:05:450:05:49

-Something to sell well...

-Yeah?

-..or something animal related.

-OK.

0:05:490:05:52

-What about you, Amanda?

-I like a naked lady.

-A naked lady!

0:05:520:05:56

-Oh, definitely shiny.

-OK.

-I'm a bit of a magpie.

0:05:560:05:58

Silver, gold, something like that. Something that'll make a profit.

0:05:580:06:01

You'd better get looking, teams, your time starts now.

0:06:030:06:05

-ALARM RINGS

-Well, let's go.

0:06:050:06:07

-Let's get started!

-OK.

0:06:070:06:09

And, straightaway, Jo is sticking to her shopping list

0:06:120:06:15

and has her eye on this silver.

0:06:150:06:17

-I like the card case.

-Yes. And there's a clef for your music.

0:06:170:06:20

-Hey!

-See?

-Not interested.

-Not interested?

0:06:200:06:24

Not hitting the right note just yet, Thomas.

0:06:240:06:27

The Blues look determined to find something shiny.

0:06:270:06:30

Shiny, shiny, shiny, shiny.

0:06:300:06:32

And the Reds appear to have moved from silver on to brass.

0:06:320:06:35

I prefer the thing over there.

0:06:350:06:37

-The coal scuttle?

-Yes, if that's what it is.

0:06:370:06:39

It is a coal scuttle and do you know what date this would be?

0:06:390:06:42

I guess '20s to '30s, because it looks Deco.

0:06:420:06:44

-You're quite right. Yeah, it is Deco.

-It's got nice angles to it.

0:06:440:06:47

I love the little feet. They're lovely bracket-spread feet.

0:06:470:06:50

-They look like sort of...

-It's all about the shapes, isn't it?

0:06:500:06:52

-Yeah, talons.

-Yes!

-Like a dragon's talon, aren't they?

0:06:520:06:55

-It's a good thing.

-It doesn't say a price, though.

0:06:550:06:58

-Do one of you want to go and have a chat?

-OK. I'll go.

-Go on, then.

0:06:580:07:02

-All right.

-See what you can do.

-Is she quite a good negotiator?

0:07:020:07:05

-No.

-No?

-No.

0:07:050:07:07

Let's wait and see.

0:07:070:07:09

OK, the best she can really do is 38.

0:07:090:07:12

-Well, no.

-Perhaps we should leave it?

-We should leave it. OK.

0:07:120:07:15

For £30, I think there's a profit, but 35...

0:07:150:07:18

So, that's an offer of £35 from the stallholder.

0:07:180:07:21

-It's shiny.

-Yes, shiny.

-But it's not a naked lady.

0:07:210:07:24

-No.

-Come on!

-THEY LAUGH

0:07:240:07:25

Best move on, then, Reds.

0:07:270:07:29

Now, are the Blues in high spirits?

0:07:290:07:30

So, let's have a little look. Let's get some more light on it.

0:07:320:07:34

-Up you come. What does that say, Helen?

-Let's have a look.

0:07:340:07:37

-I'm sure it's silver-plated rather than silver.

-EPNS.

0:07:370:07:40

So EPNS stands for electro-plated nickel silver.

0:07:400:07:44

But I quite like the way you've got that ribbed top there

0:07:440:07:47

-to help you undo it.

-What would you say that would get in an auction?

0:07:470:07:50

The ticket price is 25. It's not a rare thing.

0:07:500:07:53

-I think we'll leave that one, then, I think.

-It could be £5 to £10.

0:07:530:07:57

-Oh, definitely not.

-I think we'll leave that.

-It's a stylish thing.

0:07:570:08:00

But they're not, yeah, you see them quite a lot.

0:08:000:08:02

-Nice and heavy, but...

-Yes.

0:08:020:08:04

No shiny or silver just yet for the Blues.

0:08:040:08:07

Reds, are you putting your best foot forward?

0:08:070:08:09

Do you like these two?

0:08:090:08:11

-Pair of beautifully made shoes.

-Hmm...

-No? No love there.

0:08:110:08:14

-What about these?

-No.

0:08:140:08:16

-No.

-Too much money?

-Yeah, definitely.

0:08:160:08:18

OK. I can see the...

0:08:180:08:20

I can see the "no" happening immediately from Amanda's lips.

0:08:200:08:22

Yes, I know!

0:08:220:08:24

The Reds seem to know what they like or, should I say, don't like.

0:08:240:08:28

Now, are the Blues on the scent?

0:08:280:08:30

-Ooh!

-Oh, that's quite nice.

-That's quite nice!

-Toiletry bottles.

0:08:300:08:34

-I quite like these.

-Glass not plastic, I'm guessing.

0:08:340:08:36

It's glass, yes, have a little feel, Helen.

0:08:360:08:37

Are they their original lids, would you say?

0:08:370:08:40

I would. They're all matching, which is quite nice.

0:08:400:08:42

Would you say that's silver or...?

0:08:420:08:44

No. I think... I can tell by the feel of it, yeah.

0:08:440:08:48

I think it's probably plate.

0:08:480:08:49

Well, they've got their original stoppers inside,

0:08:490:08:52

-which is quite nice.

-It's got a cork.

-And cork in the top there,

0:08:520:08:54

yeah, to seal it up. I would say they're probably '40s,

0:08:540:08:57

getting on for '50s, looking at the leather case.

0:08:570:08:59

-I like the case.

-What's it marked up at?

0:08:590:09:01

-48 on that.

-Ooh!

0:09:010:09:03

-48 seems quite a lot.

-Hmm. I would agree.

0:09:030:09:07

At auction, I would probably put sort of £15 to £20 on it.

0:09:070:09:10

Let's see what's the best they can do.

0:09:100:09:12

Hi there. We're just looking at your nice little set here.

0:09:120:09:15

What could you do for us on that?

0:09:150:09:17

-£40.

-£40?

0:09:170:09:19

-Yes.

-I think 35's probably the most that I'd go for.

0:09:190:09:23

-Would you say any more?

-No, I think that's even maybe a little too high.

0:09:230:09:26

-A little too high, yeah.

-I've got shrewd punters, I'm afraid, today.

0:09:260:09:30

-LAUGHTER

-Are you sure you can't go to 35?

0:09:300:09:33

-Could you do any better?

-You'll have to wait till my husband comes back and ask him.

0:09:330:09:37

NATASHA: So, whilst the Blues wait

0:09:370:09:39

for the best price from the stallholder's husband,

0:09:390:09:41

have the Reds found something else they don't like?

0:09:410:09:43

-Nothing grabbing your attention?

-No.

-No, OK.

0:09:430:09:47

I got the feeling there was an immediate no from you there.

0:09:470:09:49

-Yeah, no.

-HE LAUGHS

0:09:490:09:51

Definitely not that.

0:09:510:09:53

Oh, dear! I think Thomas will be earning his money today.

0:09:530:09:56

Speaking of money, Blues, what's the best price for the scent bottles?

0:09:580:10:01

-He'll take 35?

-Yeah, he'll take 35.

-Wonderful!

0:10:010:10:03

-What do we think about that?

-Yeah. I think 35's worth a go.

0:10:030:10:07

-I think we should go for it, yeah.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

0:10:070:10:09

-Is Helen twisting your arm, Mark?

-Yeah, she normally does.

0:10:090:10:12

-LAUGHTER

-Great. Decision?

-Excellent!

0:10:120:10:14

-Yeah, our first item.

-Fantastic!

-Our first item.

-Thank you so much.

0:10:140:10:17

-That's brilliant.

-Thank you very much. Thank you.

0:10:170:10:20

Yes, well done, Blues.

0:10:200:10:21

That's £13 off the ticket price and that's item number one

0:10:210:10:25

with just over ten minutes on the clock.

0:10:250:10:27

Now, I think Thomas might be searching for inspiration.

0:10:270:10:30

I'm rubbing him for a bit of wisdom.

0:10:300:10:32

GIGGLING

0:10:320:10:34

Anything is worth a try, Thomas.

0:10:340:10:37

So, Blues, are you still motoring along nicely?

0:10:370:10:40

-This one, yeah.

-Do you like that, then?

-Yeah, it's the front of a...

0:10:400:10:43

-Is it the front of a scooter?

-It's a Vespa.

0:10:430:10:45

-It looks like the front of a Vespa, doesn't it?

-Yeah.

0:10:450:10:47

It's different, isn't it?

0:10:470:10:49

-It's very bright.

-Very different. What's the price?

-£80 on that.

0:10:490:10:52

-I would say...

-It's very modern.

-It's very modern, Helen.

0:10:520:10:55

-It's got to be for a very particular market as well.

-Yeah.

0:10:550:10:57

You'd need somebody that likes Vespas. So, as much as it's lovely,

0:10:570:11:01

-I don't think it's the right thing for an auction.

-No, I agree, yeah.

0:11:010:11:04

-She's not just a pretty face!

-Oh, she knows what she's talking about.

0:11:040:11:07

-But would you have that in your house?

-I would.

0:11:070:11:09

-Well, there's loads in here.

-It's not coming home with us today!

-No?!

0:11:090:11:12

-Listen to what the boss says!

-Yeah, the boss, listen to the boss, yeah.

0:11:120:11:15

Helen is definitely putting her foot down.

0:11:150:11:18

Thomas wants the Reds to put theirs down, too,

0:11:180:11:20

with 20 minutes on the clock.

0:11:200:11:22

Time to start looking and buying.

0:11:220:11:23

I do feel we need to have something in the bag.

0:11:250:11:27

-Yes, so do I.

-Yeah, we do.

0:11:270:11:28

Well, at least they're in agreement.

0:11:280:11:30

-Nothing really exciting.

-No.

0:11:300:11:32

-No.

-No.

-You don't like it? No? No, not at all?

-Not at all.

0:11:320:11:36

With both our teams seeming to be hard to please,

0:11:360:11:39

now might be the time to leave the Reds and Blues shopping

0:11:390:11:41

whilst I show you some silverware.

0:11:410:11:43

Now, at first glance, you might think,

0:11:510:11:53

"Oh, that's a nice novelty silver model."

0:11:530:11:55

And that's the key part - these are not just models.

0:11:550:11:58

The heads come off. But what for? There's no lining in there.

0:11:580:12:03

It's not a particularly brilliantly-shaped vessel

0:12:030:12:06

and, to add even more mystery... well, the wings are hinged.

0:12:060:12:11

You pull one up and it sits up,

0:12:110:12:14

but you pull the other one up and it sort of knocks it over.

0:12:140:12:17

So, they're not really effective as hinged wings, are they?

0:12:170:12:21

So there has to be a good reason.

0:12:210:12:23

And when I did my research, I was loving the reason.

0:12:230:12:28

These silver pheasants, in the 19th century,

0:12:280:12:32

were imported from the Continent and such was their popularity

0:12:320:12:36

that Her Majesty's Excise and Customs decided to impose

0:12:360:12:41

a heavy tax on these items.

0:12:410:12:43

If you wanted to enjoy imported, novelty silver pheasants,

0:12:430:12:46

you were going to have to pay for it

0:12:460:12:48

and, not just you as the end user, but the retailers, too.

0:12:480:12:52

And the makers were charged with coming up with a way

0:12:520:12:55

of taking them out of the bracket of model.

0:12:550:12:59

This is the genius part.

0:12:590:13:00

The head coming off means it's now a vessel -

0:13:000:13:03

a scent bottle, a pepper pot, a salt.

0:13:030:13:07

And another category into which it can now fall is that of a toy,

0:13:070:13:12

because those hinged wings mean that people want to play with them

0:13:120:13:16

and, on tableware and toys, there was no such tax imposed.

0:13:160:13:21

It's a great tale of 19th and early 20th-century tax avoidance.

0:13:210:13:26

So, these are over 100 years old and, unfortunately, in that time,

0:13:260:13:30

there's been a little breakage - as you can see on this one,

0:13:300:13:33

the tail is a little bit shorter than its partner.

0:13:330:13:37

And it's important that we reference the partner,

0:13:370:13:40

because what do we know here on Bargain Hunt?

0:13:400:13:42

Things are often better in a pair.

0:13:420:13:44

So now, it comes down to what they're worth.

0:13:440:13:47

Now, we know they're made of precious metal, hallmarked silver.

0:13:470:13:51

Currently, they're worth about £100, given their weight.

0:13:510:13:55

But put these into a specialist silver auction,

0:13:550:13:58

against an estimate of £200-£300, I reckon they could fly past that.

0:13:580:14:03

It just goes to show, it's not just the material that makes the money,

0:14:030:14:07

it's the story behind it too.

0:14:070:14:10

Back to it.

0:14:160:14:18

We're halfway through the shopping and it's 1-0 to the Blues.

0:14:180:14:20

Reds, any closer to liking anything?

0:14:200:14:23

-Couldn't do it for 80?

-You see, I'm not sure I'd want it for 80.

0:14:230:14:26

-No?

-That's my problem.

-Wouldn't even want it for 80. There you are.

0:14:260:14:29

-It's a nice thing. Thank you.

-We're going to run out of time.

0:14:290:14:31

Thank you.

0:14:310:14:32

I'm sensing tension in the Red camp.

0:14:320:14:35

Amanda, you need to start buying.

0:14:350:14:37

Blues, how's your quest for shiny items going?

0:14:370:14:39

-Have you looked in this cabinet?

-No, let's have a little look round.

0:14:400:14:43

-There's some shiny bits in there.

-Ooh! Shiny, shiny, shiny! Shiny!

0:14:430:14:46

So, with the Reds yet to purchase a thing,

0:14:470:14:50

I think we should check in with Thomas.

0:14:500:14:51

This is a tough one. Amanda's putting the stop on most things.

0:14:510:14:55

Mum's getting really stressed.

0:14:550:14:58

The time is ticking. What are we going to do?

0:14:580:15:01

Start buying, Thomas! What about the Blues, Kate?

0:15:010:15:04

Well, what a fantastic start. We pounced on that first item.

0:15:040:15:07

It's a lovely thing.

0:15:070:15:09

We bought it, couldn't have been better.

0:15:090:15:11

But now, we have looked at quite a few objects, a lot of shiny objects.

0:15:110:15:15

We could really do with getting some more purchases under our belts.

0:15:150:15:19

That goes for both teams, Kate.

0:15:190:15:21

Thomas, is it time to have a stern word with the Reds?

0:15:210:15:25

I have to say, there's been a lot of nos.

0:15:250:15:27

-LAUGHTER

-Hmm.

-Yeah!

-Yeah, "Hmm! Hmm!"

0:15:270:15:30

-This is the pensive look.

-Lovely stuff, wrong price.

-Yeah.

0:15:300:15:33

-This is Bargain Hunt.

-She does have a point.

0:15:330:15:35

Back to the Blues and it looks like they've found another shiny item.

0:15:350:15:38

-It's very pretty.

-Is that the kind of thing you had in mind?

0:15:380:15:41

-Yeah, it's shiny.

-I like that a lot.

0:15:410:15:43

-It IS shiny.

-We're actually agreeing as well,

0:15:430:15:45

-which is good.

-Yeah. How much?

-How much?

-That's the question.

0:15:450:15:48

-So we've got 48 on there.

-48.

-We'll leave that one.

0:15:480:15:52

-Really?

-Yeah. So, I think we'll have a bit of a rush and a dash around

0:15:520:15:56

and hopefully pick something a little bit cheaper.

0:15:560:16:00

-I agree, back it goes.

-Got your running shoes on, then?

0:16:000:16:02

THEY LAUGH

0:16:020:16:04

Well, the price has taken the shine off that, then.

0:16:040:16:07

Reds, could this be the statue you were after?

0:16:070:16:10

We like this here. We don't think it's got much age to it.

0:16:100:16:12

What is it? Oh, right, OK.

0:16:120:16:14

So it's bronzed.

0:16:140:16:16

It's a original design for Frith Sculptures, made in England.

0:16:160:16:19

We've got it all there. It's £90. What do you like about it, Amanda?

0:16:190:16:23

-What do you like, Mum? She liked it, too.

-I like the lines of it.

0:16:230:16:26

-Yes.

-I think it's... Yeah.

0:16:260:16:27

It's not that old. It's a modern sculpture.

0:16:270:16:30

Sometimes these are desirable. What's the best on it?

0:16:300:16:34

-40?

-40. Can you do any better than that?

0:16:340:16:36

I know that's really cheeky and you've come down halfway already.

0:16:360:16:39

-You've come down loads already and that's so kind of you.

-25?

-Yeah.

0:16:390:16:42

-Let's take it.

-Do you want to buy it?

0:16:420:16:44

-Yes.

-£25, that is very kind of you to go down that far.

0:16:440:16:47

-Yeah?

-We've got our first item.

-First item!

0:16:470:16:49

-That's a good thing.

-Yes! Whoo!

-Brilliant!

0:16:490:16:52

At last! In 35 minutes, the Reds are finally off the mark,

0:16:520:16:56

but now, the Blues appear to have stalled.

0:16:560:16:58

-Nice, but it's not my cup of tea.

-Not blingy enough for you?

0:16:580:17:01

It's not blingy. It's not my idea of bling anyway.

0:17:010:17:04

-No!

-OK.

0:17:040:17:06

No is definitely the word of the day.

0:17:060:17:09

Saying that, the Reds seem to like this silk scarf.

0:17:090:17:12

-It's gorgeous.

-So, this here is a lovely silk scarf, isn't it?

0:17:120:17:16

And the colours, the white, the mauve and the green,

0:17:160:17:20

-the violets as well.

-Yeah.

-What do they represent?

0:17:200:17:22

-The Suffragettes.

-Exactly.

-Oh, it IS the Suffragettes.

0:17:220:17:25

White for purity, green for hope and mauve for dignity.

0:17:250:17:27

And those were the colours they used.

0:17:270:17:29

It was like a code. And I think this is,

0:17:290:17:31

because it is quite fine silk, isn't it...

0:17:310:17:33

-It's very fine.

-..and as a piece of, you know,

0:17:330:17:36

-vintage textile...

-As you say, history.

0:17:360:17:38

..and social history, I think it's rather fun.

0:17:380:17:41

I think it's... I think the latticework here is lovely.

0:17:410:17:44

-It is.

-But on one of the ends, the latticework's a bit of a mess.

0:17:440:17:47

-Well, when it's old, yes.

-I think YOU'D be a mess!

-Yes!

0:17:470:17:50

-SHE LAUGHS:

-If I was that old?

-You'd be a mess if you were old!

0:17:500:17:53

-Wouldn't you...

-Oh, yes.

-..if you were 1910, 1915?

0:17:530:17:57

And it's £15. I think you could probably do quite well with that.

0:17:570:18:00

-You could probably get that...

-Get it a bit down, cos of the damage.

0:18:000:18:03

Oh, yeah, easily, because of the damage, but it's a well-made object.

0:18:030:18:07

-Do you like it?

-I think it's lovely.

-I'll go and speak to the dealer.

0:18:070:18:11

-Oh, can I do that.

-Do you want to do it?

-Yeah!

0:18:110:18:13

-I haven't spoken to a dealer yet.

-Go on, off you go.

0:18:130:18:15

How do you think she's going to get on?

0:18:150:18:17

-She'll do it!

-I think she's going to be really, really good.

0:18:170:18:20

-She will be.

-She's a strong woman!

-She will!

0:18:200:18:22

Mum has faith in Amanda. Let's see...

0:18:220:18:25

OK, well, she wanted 15. She did go down to 12,

0:18:250:18:27

said she wouldn't go any further, but I did squeeze her to 10.

0:18:270:18:30

-Good.

-Oh, well done.

-Get it?

-10 will be fine.

0:18:300:18:33

-Super. I'll go and tell her.

-All right, go on. Thank you.

0:18:330:18:35

-Brilliant!

-Brilliant! Yes!

-Second item down.

-At last!

0:18:350:18:38

Do you know, it's just like, you know, you knock over one domino

0:18:380:18:41

-and they just carry on.

-And then they all follow!

0:18:410:18:44

So one more to go.

0:18:440:18:46

Yes, one to go. Let's hope this momentum continues.

0:18:460:18:49

Now, Blues, you're trailing

0:18:490:18:51

and there's 15 minutes left on the clock.

0:18:510:18:53

-Now, this.

-Oh, I like it, you know, guys.

0:18:530:18:56

-What did you like about it?

-Just the shape.

-Pieces like this

0:18:560:18:59

are known as "bentwood pieces", for obvious reasons,

0:18:590:19:02

because the wood has been heated, actually, and then bent

0:19:020:19:06

to get this lovely scroll, probably for hats at the top...

0:19:060:19:09

-Yeah.

-..and then coats at the bottom, I would say.

-Ah!

0:19:090:19:11

-'30s, certainly early 20th century, rather than Victorian.

-Hmm!

0:19:110:19:15

-We've got 68 on there.

-68.

0:19:150:19:17

What would be the price that you would like to pay?

0:19:170:19:20

-About 35, 40 max.

-Yeah.

-I was going to say half of the ticket price.

0:19:200:19:24

-Half the ticket price?

-Yeah.

-You drive a hard bargain, you two!

0:19:240:19:27

-I do! I want to make a profit!

-You have to!

0:19:270:19:29

-You're in it to win it!

-Absolutely!

-Let's face it!

0:19:290:19:32

Why don't we go and see what the gentleman's best offer is?

0:19:320:19:35

-Excellent! There's the gentleman. Hi there. Best offer?

-Best offer?

0:19:350:19:38

-We're running out of time as well.

-MAN: Price-wise, £50.

0:19:380:19:41

What about making it a nice round number, taking it down to 48?

0:19:410:19:46

-55?

-No, 48. £20 off.

-I'll do 48.

-Yeah? You've got a deal, then.

0:19:460:19:51

-OK.

-Fantastic.

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you very much.

-Cheers.

0:19:510:19:54

-Thanks very much.

-Brilliant, well done, guys, second buy.

-I know!

0:19:540:19:57

-Fantastic. Let's leave it there and crack on.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

0:19:570:20:00

Yes, crack on. There's less than ten minutes left, teams,

0:20:000:20:03

and you both need one more item.

0:20:030:20:05

Thomas, what have you spotted?

0:20:050:20:07

Do you like exotic items?

0:20:080:20:10

Look at that. Silver lined, silver-gilt lined,

0:20:100:20:14

for your herbs and spices for travel.

0:20:140:20:16

-Oh, that's pretty.

-Yes, that is nice.

0:20:160:20:19

-Indian.

-Hmm.

-dating from the late 19th century.

0:20:190:20:24

We have got lots of money left.

0:20:240:20:26

-I know we do.

-Yeah. This is a big ticket item.

0:20:260:20:29

260 quid.

0:20:300:20:32

-Yeah, we can't afford that.

-You can.

0:20:320:20:34

We've got £265 left.

0:20:340:20:36

Just putting it out there, you haven't got much time.

0:20:360:20:38

Minutes. If we go no for this, we're going for that coal scuttle.

0:20:380:20:42

-Yes.

-All right? What are you going to do?

0:20:420:20:44

-It's up to you.

-Coal scuttle.

0:20:440:20:46

-Coal scuttle it is.

-Because that'll make the bigger profit, yes.

-OK.

0:20:460:20:50

Well, with time against them, the Reds have had to make a decision.

0:20:500:20:54

But it also looks like Kate has found some silver.

0:20:540:20:57

But will the Blues like the price?

0:20:570:20:59

We've got a pair of pepperettes here, which I think are quite nice,

0:20:590:21:02

cos they're egg shaped, which is a little bit more unusual.

0:21:020:21:06

-There they are.

-Silver?

0:21:060:21:08

-They are silver.

-I like that!

0:21:080:21:09

They're hallmarked on the side here, both quite clearly.

0:21:090:21:13

-Inside, they have a little base in there...

-Right.

0:21:130:21:18

-..which has a bit of a weight in it...

-OK.

0:21:180:21:20

..so that they stand quite nicely on the table.

0:21:200:21:24

-If you can imagine, without that, they'd be quite flimsy.

-Yeah.

0:21:240:21:27

-I like them.

-Yeah.

-How much are they?

-The price on there is 85.

0:21:270:21:32

Let's find our stallholder.

0:21:320:21:34

Excuse me, sir. Hi there, we're just interested in something over here.

0:21:340:21:38

-Right, OK.

-We quite like your pepperettes.

0:21:380:21:40

-Yeah, yeah.

-They're priced at 85 on your ticket.

-Yeah, yeah.

0:21:400:21:43

-What could you do for us?

-I could do 55, but that would have to be it.

0:21:430:21:47

-I think we're done.

-Yeah.

-55?

-I think you've got a deal.

0:21:470:21:51

-55?

-Thank you very much.

-Well, thank you very much indeed, sir.

0:21:510:21:55

-That's great.

-Pleasure.

-Lovely.

0:21:550:21:57

Well done, Blues. Job done with minutes remaining.

0:21:570:22:00

Now, Reds, I hope the coal scuttle, which you haggled down to £35,

0:22:000:22:05

hasn't gone up in smoke.

0:22:050:22:07

-That's it, it's still here.

-Phew!

-Are we going to go for it?

0:22:070:22:10

-You've made the decision.

-Yes.

0:22:100:22:11

-Go and speak to them.

-Yes.

-Go on, off you go.

0:22:110:22:15

Oh, I am exhausted!

0:22:150:22:18

The shy stallholder agreed on the price.

0:22:180:22:20

Job done, Reds.

0:22:200:22:21

You know what that means? Time's up.

0:22:220:22:24

-Done!

-Sorted!

-Come here, you two!

0:22:240:22:27

-SHE LAUGHS:

-Sorry.

0:22:270:22:29

So let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.

0:22:290:22:32

First up, Amanda wanted a statue and she bought this one for £25.

0:22:320:22:38

Next, have they got it wrapped up with the silk scarf?

0:22:380:22:41

Bought for £10.

0:22:410:22:42

And finally, will this coal scuttle be filled with profit?

0:22:440:22:47

£35 paid.

0:22:470:22:48

Well, Amanda, you said you were going to buy a naked lady.

0:22:490:22:52

You didn't mention a naked man, but we've got one of each.

0:22:520:22:54

-I know!

-How good is that?

-In the same item.

0:22:540:22:57

-OK, so which is your favourite item, Jo?

-Mine would be the scarf.

0:22:570:23:00

And which do you think is going to bring the biggest profit?

0:23:000:23:03

Actually, it could be the scarf.

0:23:030:23:05

-You reckon?

-Yes.

-OK, we'll see about that.

0:23:050:23:07

Amanda, what do you feel about your favourite one?

0:23:070:23:09

I think it might be the coal scuttle,

0:23:090:23:11

-just because of the shape of it.

-What about biggest profit?

0:23:110:23:14

I think the naked couple, yeah.

0:23:140:23:16

-Of course, we had to mention them again, didn't we?

-Of course!

0:23:160:23:18

Now, Thomas, was that stressful, because they weren't

0:23:180:23:21

-quick off the mark?

-Oh, my gosh, you two! Oh, my gosh!

0:23:210:23:23

I don't know how you did it.

0:23:230:23:25

You squeezed it all in and half an hour.

0:23:250:23:28

We got there, we did. So, only £70 spent, last of the big spenders!

0:23:280:23:33

-So £230 you have in your pocket?

-I do.

-Thank you, Jo.

0:23:330:23:37

Now, is that the largest amount I've ever handed over to you, Thomas?

0:23:370:23:40

-Yeah, I think it is.

-OK.

0:23:400:23:42

-Any ideas?

-Maybe. I'm going to be a bit coy about it.

0:23:420:23:47

Not like you, Thomas.

0:23:470:23:49

Thomas is playing his cards close to his chest, so, in the meantime,

0:23:490:23:52

we'll go and see what the Blues bought.

0:23:520:23:55

First up, will the Blues have a whiff of profit

0:23:550:23:57

with these scent bottles? Bought for £35.

0:23:570:24:01

Next, they were hung up on this hat and coat stand. £48 paid.

0:24:020:24:06

And finally, they wanted silver

0:24:080:24:10

and bought these salt and pepper pots for £55.

0:24:100:24:13

Now, of the three items that you bought, Helen,

0:24:130:24:16

-which would you say is your favourite?

-I think the last item.

0:24:160:24:18

It was a bit of a rush, and that's the pepperettes.

0:24:180:24:21

-Oh, those wee pepperettes, they're lovely. Silver as well?

-Yeah!

0:24:210:24:24

-Silver and shiny.

-You reckon they'll bring the most profit?

-Definitely.

0:24:240:24:27

-You do?

-Definitely.

0:24:270:24:28

We'll hold you to that. Mark, do you agree?

0:24:280:24:31

-Favourite item?

-I liked the coat and hat stand.

0:24:310:24:34

Lovely, OK, and, when it comes to profit,

0:24:340:24:36

-which do you think will make the most?

-I have to agree with Helen.

0:24:360:24:39

-I think the pepperettes.

-Lovely.

0:24:390:24:41

And Kate's got more to do, because you owe me some money.

0:24:410:24:44

-Oh, I do!

-You only spent 138.

-Yeah.

0:24:440:24:47

So 162. It doesn't stay with me for long, it goes straight over to Kate.

0:24:470:24:51

-Lovely, thank you.

-That's quite a lot of money.

0:24:510:24:53

Did you see anything with a high ticket price that caught your eye?

0:24:530:24:56

I saw lots, but whether they will make a profit or not

0:24:560:24:59

-is another thing.

-Hmm!

-I've got some homework to do.

0:24:590:25:01

We need something with a big profit.

0:25:010:25:03

Profit or not, that is the question, and let's head now to South Wales.

0:25:030:25:08

We're off to Cardiff for the auction.

0:25:080:25:10

Bore da! And good day from Cardiff.

0:25:180:25:21

Thank you for joining us, Ben Rogers Jones,

0:25:210:25:24

because we're here at Rogers Jones Auction House.

0:25:240:25:27

It's all very exciting. Lovely stuff in front of us.

0:25:270:25:29

-We have, mostly.

-We have! Let's start off with the Red mixture.

0:25:290:25:33

This is daughter and mum, Amanda and Jo.

0:25:330:25:36

What do you think of our couple?

0:25:360:25:38

-Horrendous.

-Really?

0:25:380:25:40

-Honestly.

-Amanda was hell-bent on finding a naked lady and,

0:25:400:25:44

not only did she find a naked lady,

0:25:440:25:46

she got a naked man in there to boot.

0:25:460:25:48

I think, in their desperation to find some nudity,

0:25:480:25:52

their judgment has been clouded somewhat.

0:25:520:25:55

It's just not going to be to everyone's taste, but there are

0:25:550:25:58

romantic buyers out there who can possibly relate to such a tryst?

0:25:580:26:03

I've got to be harsh. It's a £15 to £25 lot, at the most.

0:26:030:26:06

Well, you'll be delighted to hear that Amanda only paid £25 for it,

0:26:060:26:10

but I'll tell you what, I have to say,

0:26:100:26:12

although I don't love the style of this ornament,

0:26:120:26:14

I love the style of the silk scarf.

0:26:140:26:16

I think it's a really evocative little piece.

0:26:160:26:18

-What do you think of it?

-I think it's lovely.

0:26:180:26:20

It would be really nice to have found some provenance relating it

0:26:200:26:23

to the Suffragette Movement, because the Suffragette colours are there.

0:26:230:26:27

I think it might do rather well.

0:26:270:26:29

Oh, good, so you reckon you've got buyers for it.

0:26:290:26:31

-And what's your estimate for them?

-My estimate is on at £30 to £40.

0:26:310:26:35

Aw, well, do you know, they only paid £10 for it?

0:26:350:26:38

-Can you believe that?

-I think they will sail it.

0:26:380:26:41

I think you're spot on, it's going to make at least three times that.

0:26:410:26:44

Then we move on to my right to the coal scuttle, or purdonium,

0:26:440:26:48

if we're being particularly fancy, which by the by, Amanda and Jo love.

0:26:480:26:53

-Do you?

-I mean, it's OK.

0:26:530:26:55

It's got that of Art Deco look about it, but the cleaning factor

0:26:550:26:59

always keeps brassware at a fairly modest price these days.

0:26:590:27:04

-OK, what kind of estimate?

-£25 to £35 for that one, Natasha.

0:27:040:27:08

Well, they were running out of time.

0:27:080:27:09

They paid £35, so perhaps, in that case,

0:27:090:27:14

these Reds are going to need their bonus buy.

0:27:140:27:16

Let's see what Thomas came up with.

0:27:160:27:17

When we first met you, ladies, you had a touch of blue

0:27:190:27:21

in your hair, Amanda. It was all very fair and diplomatic.

0:27:210:27:24

It's gone and you're down to business, red all the way?

0:27:240:27:26

That's it. Be fair when we're buying, but when we're selling,

0:27:260:27:29

-we want to win.

-I like this ruthless approach,

0:27:290:27:31

but will you win with what Thomas has purchased for you?

0:27:310:27:34

You left him £230 and he's sort of almost fashioned a sarong

0:27:340:27:38

-out of this cloth...

-Yeah!

-..so what's going on, Thomas?

0:27:380:27:41

You know I'm a dedicated follower of fashion,

0:27:410:27:44

so I had to find something rather fashionable and I did.

0:27:440:27:47

Look at these!

0:27:470:27:48

LAUGHTER

0:27:480:27:50

-Now, look, these are...

-Wow!

-They're huge.

0:27:500:27:55

-They are huge.

-Yeah!

-These are Breton...

0:27:550:27:58

1890s sycamore and leather clogs, for maybe a fisherman.

0:27:580:28:03

They are brilliant. They are folk art at its rawest.

0:28:030:28:07

-Are they comfortable?

-They are gorgeous, yeah, they're really nice.

0:28:070:28:10

-They're not as heavy as you think.

-They're not.

-They're sycamore

0:28:100:28:13

and sycamore's quite a light wood. It's a beautiful piece of tree.

0:28:130:28:16

Let's get down to business. Jo, ask an important question.

0:28:160:28:19

OK, how much do you think they'll make?

0:28:190:28:22

-First of all, you want to know how much I spent on them?

-OK.

0:28:220:28:25

They were £70. They were about as much as you spent!

0:28:250:28:29

LAUGHTER

0:28:290:28:30

That surprises me!

0:28:300:28:32

-It was so perfect.

-Did you expect them to be?

0:28:320:28:34

-I expected them to be more.

-Oh, I expected them to be less.

0:28:340:28:38

-Did you?

-I knew Amanda would.

-AMANDA AND JO LAUGH

0:28:380:28:41

How much do you reckon they'll make?

0:28:410:28:43

I have no idea, I've never sold a pair. They are a risk.

0:28:430:28:46

They are interesting - that's why I had to buy them.

0:28:460:28:49

Now is not the time to decide.

0:28:490:28:50

We'll wait until the auction to do that and, in the meantime, we'll see

0:28:500:28:53

what the auctioneer thinks of Thomas's ever-so-fashionable clogs!

0:28:530:28:57

Well, I hope these are your size, Ben.

0:28:580:29:01

Thomas has gone for these clogs.

0:29:010:29:03

-Nice to have a pair, I suppose.

-So what's your estimate, then?

0:29:030:29:07

My estimate is £15 to £25.

0:29:070:29:09

Really? Really, as low as that?

0:29:090:29:12

I think so. It's difficult to know what to do with them, isn't it?

0:29:120:29:15

Well, it's difficult, then, to fathom why Thomas plant spent

0:29:150:29:19

-£70 on them.

-I think he may well have truly put his foot in it.

0:29:190:29:23

I can't top that pun, so let's move on then to the Blues,

0:29:250:29:28

Helen and Mark, who, as a couple, have bought quite traditionally,

0:29:280:29:32

wouldn't you say, by the looks of things? We'll start off with this

0:29:320:29:35

leather case set of scent bottles. Not silver, chrome lidded.

0:29:350:29:38

-Are they floating your boat?

-They're OK for a vintage item.

0:29:380:29:42

The problem with them is what you've just mentioned,

0:29:420:29:45

that they're chrome lids instead of silver.

0:29:450:29:48

A fairly modest-valued vintage item, I think.

0:29:480:29:51

They're just modest in their style, even the box is quite sad

0:29:510:29:55

-and there's no enamel...

-Yes.

-..or cuts on the glass or anything,

0:29:550:29:58

so is it quite a modest estimate?

0:29:580:30:00

It is a rather underwhelming estimate of £10 to £15.

0:30:000:30:04

Right, OK, they paid £35 for them, so they'll need a bit of luck there.

0:30:040:30:09

Hopefully, they'll find it in this unusual bentwood hat stand.

0:30:090:30:13

It is unusual. We couldn't really work out how it could be used,

0:30:130:30:17

but we can't be too generous with our estimate on it,

0:30:170:30:20

because it is fairly plain in its look. We put £15 to £25.

0:30:200:30:25

Oh, that is quite austere, because they paid 48 for it.

0:30:250:30:28

-Right.

-So, let's move on to these pepperettes.

0:30:280:30:31

Now, both Helen and Mark reckon there is profit to be made

0:30:310:30:35

in these pepperettes. Kate led them to them.

0:30:350:30:38

-What do you think?

-There's nothing really fancy about them

0:30:380:30:42

or they don't really have a great design quality,

0:30:420:30:46

so it's got to be a modest estimate. £15 to £20.

0:30:460:30:49

That's a shame, isn't it? Because I think I agree with you.

0:30:490:30:52

There's not much there to lead towards a higher estimate,

0:30:520:30:55

-but they did pay £55 for them.

-Oh, goodness.

0:30:550:30:58

OK, I think everything points towards the fact that these Blues

0:30:580:31:01

might need their bonus buy, so let's find out what it is.

0:31:010:31:05

You left Kate 162.

0:31:060:31:09

-I'd be nervous.

-Mmm, I'm hoping it's shiny.

0:31:090:31:12

-Oh, are you ready?

-Yeah!

-Yeah.

0:31:120:31:14

-Oh, my gosh, a bear! Wow!

-It's wonderful.

0:31:140:31:17

-Shiny fur!

-Do you like him?

-I love bears!

-Oh, good!

-I love that.

0:31:170:31:22

That's a good start. It's not shiny, I'm afraid.

0:31:220:31:24

-Well, he's got beady eyes...

-Beady eyes!

-..little glass eyes in there,

0:31:240:31:27

but I fell in love with this little chap.

0:31:270:31:30

Have a little cuddle over there.

0:31:300:31:32

-I think I have as well!

-I love his little legs.

0:31:320:31:34

Obviously, he's quite small, which puts him in quite a nice bracket

0:31:340:31:38

for collectors - he's little bit more unusual.

0:31:380:31:41

He's what known as plush,

0:31:410:31:44

lovely glass little eyes and a stitched nose,

0:31:440:31:46

as you can see, but the nice thing I like about him is he's got these

0:31:460:31:49

articulated limbs, which move really nicely, so you can sit him down,

0:31:490:31:53

if you want to. I would say he dates from about the 1950s.

0:31:530:31:57

This isn't a Steiff, it's not German.

0:31:570:32:00

I think he's probably British,

0:32:000:32:02

but nevertheless, he's in lovely condition

0:32:020:32:04

and I think the size of him, combined with that, makes him

0:32:040:32:08

-really desirable for collectors.

-How much did you pay for him?

0:32:080:32:11

-Straight in there, aren't you, Helen?

-Absolutely!

0:32:110:32:13

-All about the money!

-I paid £25.

0:32:130:32:16

OK, that's not too bad.

0:32:160:32:18

How much do you think you'll make at auction?

0:32:180:32:20

Do you know, I think he might make between £30 and £50.

0:32:200:32:25

-OK.

-Make some money today, then.

-THEY LAUGH

0:32:250:32:28

Mark, has this brought out your inner child?

0:32:280:32:29

You seem so taken with this wee teddy?

0:32:290:32:31

I do, I've still got teddy bears from when I was a wee boy!

0:32:310:32:35

-Really?

-Yeah.

-Remember, don't make your minds up yet.

0:32:350:32:38

I know you love it, but wait and see how your three items get on first.

0:32:380:32:42

In the meantime, let's see what the auctioneer thinks.

0:32:420:32:45

Is he warm and fuzzy about Kate's cuddly toy?

0:32:450:32:47

-OK, so say hello to this plush wee fellow.

-He is gorgeous.

0:32:480:32:53

He's got a lovely little sweet look about him, hasn't he?

0:32:530:32:55

He is a wonderful little teddy bear.

0:32:550:32:57

Nice to have his little mouth intact and his wee eyes, too.

0:32:570:33:02

Something awfully attractive about him.

0:33:020:33:03

Have you put an attractive estimate on this bonus buy?

0:33:030:33:06

I've put £25 to £35.

0:33:060:33:08

At £25 paid, Kate has done pretty well there.

0:33:080:33:12

In general, is it going to be a busy auction today?

0:33:120:33:14

-I should think it is.

-Fantastic.

0:33:140:33:15

I can't wait to see the crowds

0:33:150:33:17

and I can't wait to see what happens at the auction.

0:33:170:33:19

£10? 30?

0:33:190:33:21

At £50.

0:33:220:33:23

25. Is there 8?

0:33:230:33:26

Well, it's all smiles, but are those nervous smiles?

0:33:260:33:28

Are you excited or nervous?

0:33:280:33:30

-I'm nervous...

-No.

-..but you're not.

0:33:300:33:33

No? You're calm, you're nervous, so, together, perfectly balanced.

0:33:330:33:37

Brilliant. OK, well, it's time for the first lot, ladies.

0:33:370:33:40

Brace yourselves, it's a naked couple in some sort of lovely tryst.

0:33:400:33:45

-Here it goes.

-£30?

0:33:450:33:46

-Bid me 30.

-He's looking for it.

0:33:460:33:50

Give me 30. 20 to start?

0:33:500:33:53

£20? 20 I have online.

0:33:530:33:55

Is there five? At 20.

0:33:550:33:56

Where's five? 25, is there 30?

0:33:560:33:59

25 in the room.

0:33:590:34:01

At 25 in the room. In the room the bid.

0:34:010:34:04

At 25. £25 in the room.

0:34:040:34:06

All done at 25?

0:34:060:34:09

-30. At £30.

-Yes! Profit!

-Who said five?

0:34:090:34:11

35. Is there 40? 35. At 35...

0:34:110:34:15

£35 - lady's bid at 35 for the canoodling figures.

0:34:150:34:20

£35.

0:34:200:34:22

-Well done, Amanda. Well done.

-£35.

0:34:220:34:24

£35. Ladies, you have just made a tenner, just like that.

0:34:240:34:28

Now, is our silk scarf going to continue in the profit?

0:34:280:34:32

-I think this will do well.

-You paid £10 for it.

0:34:320:34:34

-It's got to make money!

-Yeah.

-Here it comes.

0:34:340:34:36

£60, bid me £60?

0:34:360:34:39

Bid me 60?

0:34:390:34:41

40? Start me at £30.

0:34:410:34:44

-Come on!

-It will be £30.

-Yes!

-Lovely quality at £30. Come on.

0:34:440:34:47

At 30. £30 before you online. OK, it's in the room at £30.

0:34:470:34:51

Is there five? At 30.

0:34:510:34:53

35. 40.

0:34:530:34:56

Lovely item at £40, it's in the room.

0:34:560:34:58

I think there's an online bidder hovering.

0:34:580:35:00

£40. Anybody else in the room?

0:35:000:35:02

-At £40?

-Come on, girls!

-45. 50. At 50. Is there five? £50 in the room.

0:35:020:35:08

-At 50 by my side.

-Fantastic.

-Anybody new?

0:35:080:35:11

-At £50.

-Good news!

-Last call at 50...

0:35:110:35:13

Hammer's up now at £50...

0:35:130:35:15

-Yey!

-Well done.

0:35:160:35:18

£50. That's another £40 to add to the tally,

0:35:180:35:21

which means you are now £50 in front.

0:35:210:35:24

-But we've got our coal bucket here.

-Yeah.

0:35:240:35:27

-I'm not convinced about this one.

-You paid £35 for it.

0:35:270:35:31

Got plenty in the bank, so don't worry too much if it makes a loss.

0:35:310:35:34

-Here it comes.

-£20 to start. £20?

0:35:340:35:36

-£20. Thank you. Is there £5?

-Come on!

-By my side, the bid.

0:35:360:35:41

Is there £5? At £20.

0:35:410:35:43

£20. At £20, is there £5?

0:35:430:35:45

At 20! Anybody new now? At £20, all done at 20?

0:35:450:35:50

Our one and only bid at £20 and the hammer is up in 20.

0:35:500:35:53

-Shucks!

-£20.

0:35:530:35:55

£20. OK, so it's a loss of £15,

0:35:550:35:57

but you already had 50, so you're £35 in front.

0:35:570:36:01

-Get in!

-Ladies! Pat yourselves on the back!

0:36:010:36:04

-Thank you, Thomas.

-Thank you.

-Oh, no, no, no!

0:36:040:36:07

-See...

-Thanks.

-..it wasn't really me, it was all you. It was all you

0:36:070:36:10

-with that figure to start with.

-All of that considered buying

0:36:100:36:13

has paid off, but now you have something else to consider.

0:36:130:36:16

Are you going to go for the clogs?

0:36:160:36:18

-No, we're not going.

-You are £35 in front and, just to be sure,

0:36:180:36:21

you're not going to the bonus buy?

0:36:210:36:23

-We're not. Sorry.

-OK.

-It's fine, you're just banking it.

0:36:230:36:25

Well, ladies, Thomas paid £70. Auctioneer reckons £15-£25.

0:36:250:36:30

You might have made the right decision. Let's find out.

0:36:300:36:32

Any clog dancers in the room today?

0:36:320:36:34

£30. Give me 30?

0:36:340:36:37

-Oh, dear! Oh, dear!

-You never know.

-Start me at 10?

0:36:370:36:40

-Nobody's intere... Oh, £10!

-£10 bid.

0:36:400:36:43

12 if you like? 12 bid.

0:36:430:36:44

Is there 15? 15?

0:36:440:36:46

Is there 18? 18 now. Is there 20?

0:36:460:36:49

£18 standing bid.

0:36:490:36:50

-At 18. Is there 20?

-Gosh!

-£18?

0:36:500:36:53

£20 anywhere? Standing bid at 18?

0:36:530:36:55

Everybody done at £18?

0:36:550:36:57

£18 all done? £18.

0:36:570:37:00

-The right choice.

-You did the right thing.

-Sold for £18.

0:37:000:37:02

You would have lost £52 and you would have been in the red,

0:37:020:37:05

so well done, ladies.

0:37:050:37:06

-We ARE in the red.

-You ARE in the red! But in a good way.

0:37:060:37:10

You've made money on Bargain Hunt.

0:37:100:37:11

In fact, you've made good money - £35 - so well done.

0:37:110:37:14

But do me a favour, keep it to yourselves, Mum's the word,

0:37:140:37:17

don't say anything to the Blue team, OK?

0:37:170:37:19

-OK.

-OK.

-Well done.

-Thank you!

0:37:190:37:21

Well, Helen and Mark, are you tense? Are you nervous?

0:37:290:37:33

-Nervous.

-Yeah?

-Nervous excitement.

-Excited, though, yeah!

0:37:330:37:35

-First ever auction.

-Yeah.

-Yes.

-So you're bound to have mixed feelings?

0:37:350:37:39

But now that you see such a busy room, you must be excited?

0:37:390:37:41

Definitely! Hopefully, we'll get some bids.

0:37:410:37:43

-Lovely to see a lot of people.

-We need some bids on this travelling

0:37:430:37:46

scent bottle set, cos it's going under the hammer right now.

0:37:460:37:49

At 10. Where's 12? At 10. 12.

0:37:490:37:51

14. 14 I have in fact. Would you like 16 now?

0:37:510:37:55

-£14 with me, 16 standing.

-That's £16.

0:37:550:37:59

At 16. Standing bid, £18 anywhere?

0:37:590:38:01

-At 16. By the door, the bid at £16.

-Oh, come on!

-18 online.

-18 online!

0:38:010:38:06

20. 20 bid. Is there two?

0:38:060:38:08

-£20 at the door. Out online at 20.

-Oh, come on!

-At 20.

0:38:080:38:12

Anybody else now before it goes at £20?

0:38:120:38:15

-Come on!

-Last call, then, at 20.

-No!

0:38:150:38:18

-Aw!

-Oh!

-Aw, 20!

-No!

0:38:180:38:20

-OK, so you've lost £15.

-And that was our banker.

0:38:200:38:23

-Not the end of the world.

-That was our strongest item.

-Maybe it isn't!

0:38:230:38:27

-Next up is this unusual coat hook.

-Yes!

0:38:270:38:29

It's a weird and wonderful thing, you paid £48.

0:38:290:38:32

We really need it to make quite a lot of money. Let's see how it goes.

0:38:320:38:36

I've got 10 to start. At £10, is there 12?

0:38:360:38:38

At 10. The bentwood rack.

0:38:380:38:41

12 if you like. 12? now. 15. 18?

0:38:410:38:44

20? 22?

0:38:440:38:46

-25.

-Yeah, come on!

-The ball's rolling now.

-Come on!

0:38:460:38:49

Lady's bid, £25.

0:38:490:38:52

-Come on, ladies and gents!

-Nice piece of a vintage here, £25.

0:38:520:38:55

Is there eight? At £25.

0:38:550:38:57

£28, second thoughts, is there 30 now. At 30. Is there two?

0:38:570:39:01

£30, seated bid, is there two?

0:39:010:39:03

-£30. Are you coming back, sir?

-Come on!

-At £30, anybody else?

0:39:030:39:07

All done?

0:39:070:39:08

-£30.

-Aw!

0:39:080:39:10

£30 it sold for, which means another loss of £18...

0:39:100:39:14

-Don't rub it in!

-..which means the running total is -£33.

0:39:140:39:17

OK, you're £33 under. Now we have one more lot to go.

0:39:170:39:21

-These are the pepperettes.

-This was my favourite.

-You liked them.

-Yeah.

0:39:210:39:24

-Both of you reckon there's the most profit in these, actually...

-Yes!

0:39:240:39:28

..so fingers crossed. You paid £55, here they go.

0:39:280:39:30

£30. 30 straight in, thank you, sir.

0:39:300:39:33

At £30. Is there 5?

0:39:330:39:35

At 30. £30.

0:39:350:39:37

Is there two, then, at £30?

0:39:370:39:39

Gentleman's bid, two anywhere?

0:39:390:39:41

£32. Five, sir? 35!

0:39:410:39:44

£38. £40 if you like? 40 bid.

0:39:440:39:46

£40. At £40.

0:39:460:39:48

At £40, is everybody done? Hammer's up, then, at £40.

0:39:480:39:52

Last call at 40...

0:39:520:39:54

40 for 204.

0:39:540:39:55

Another loss!

0:39:550:39:57

--£15. You have lost £48 overall.

-Oh, no!

0:39:570:40:01

-It's not as bad as it could've been.

-I've known bigger losses. Panic not.

0:40:010:40:04

Now, Kate went out and bought that gorgeous plush teddy bear for you.

0:40:040:40:08

-Hmm!

-This could be your opportunity to claw some money back.

-Hmm...!

0:40:080:40:10

-Are you going to go for it?

-We have to!

-Oh, definitely.

0:40:100:40:13

-Complete faith in the bear.

-Complete faith in the bear.

0:40:130:40:16

-Faith in the bear, faith in Kate.

-Aw, look at the face! No pressure!

0:40:160:40:19

-No pressure.

-Just a shame I can't have it.

0:40:190:40:21

-Last chance to make some money, here it comes.

-Come on!

0:40:210:40:23

Straight in I go at £25.

0:40:230:40:26

-Ooh!

-At £25, is there £30?

0:40:260:40:29

At 25. 30.

0:40:290:40:31

-35. At 35. Is there 40 now?

-Come on!

0:40:310:40:34

At £35. Is there 40? At 35.

0:40:340:40:37

Come on! On the book, bid at 35.

0:40:370:40:39

Is everybody done at £35?

0:40:390:40:41

-Come on!

-£40 I'm bid. At 40 in the room.

0:40:410:40:44

At 40 now. Is there five?

0:40:440:40:46

-Come on!

-At 40. Standing bid? Anybody new?

0:40:460:40:48

-Yeah, everybody!

-At £40. Last call, then, at 40. Everybody done? At £40.

0:40:480:40:54

We made a profit on something!

0:40:550:40:57

Well done. Well, thanks to Kate's lovely teddy bear,

0:40:570:41:02

£15 has been made, which means that you are now back to -£33.

0:41:020:41:05

So, it's just cancelled out that loss of the last item,

0:41:050:41:09

so well done, Kate, and well done, you.

0:41:090:41:11

As I said, we've known bigger losses.

0:41:110:41:14

-£33 could be a winning score!

0:41:140:41:16

-Oh, yeah, close!

-Just keep it to yourself, compose yourselves.

0:41:160:41:20

-Poker face.

-Poker face.

-Poker face!

-Let's see how it all turned out.

0:41:200:41:24

On Bargain Hunt sometimes, the numbers are very similar.

0:41:310:41:34

But there's just this little matter of a plus sign and a minus sign.

0:41:340:41:39

So, whilst we have very similar two-figure results,

0:41:390:41:44

one of you is over and one of you is under.

0:41:440:41:47

So I think you've figured out that our runners up today are the Blues

0:41:470:41:51

and the winners are the Reds!

0:41:510:41:53

LAUGHTER AND CHEERING Well done!

0:41:530:41:56

-You were -£33 in the end!

-Yeah!

-It was loss, loss, loss!

0:41:560:42:00

-Still smiling all the way.

-Yeah!

0:42:000:42:02

You were a great team, but then, Kate came in at the last minute

0:42:020:42:05

and she added £15, so she took you out of the red a little, but you

0:42:050:42:09

still ended up -£33, but first time at auction, wasn't it cool?

0:42:090:42:13

-It was fun.

-It was lots of fun, wasn't it?

-Absolutely.

0:42:130:42:17

Fantastic, I'm glad you enjoyed yourselves.

0:42:170:42:19

I know that our Red team definitely enjoyed themselves,

0:42:190:42:22

coming out £35 in front. How good is that?

0:42:220:42:25

-Yes.

-Well done! You know what? In the end, you didn't go with

0:42:250:42:28

the bonus buy, those lovely clogs,

0:42:280:42:30

but that means I can hand over some serious money, ladies.

0:42:300:42:33

-Who's taking it? Mum? Come on, there we are.

-I'll take it, OK!

0:42:330:42:37

You can give Amanda some pocket money, if she's been a good girl.

0:42:370:42:40

But did you have fun today?

0:42:400:42:42

-Wonderful time.

-I'm so pleased to hear that!

0:42:420:42:44

Was it the bonding experience you were hoping for?

0:42:440:42:46

-Aw, definitely!

-Yes, definitely.

-Now Thomas is part of the family?

0:42:460:42:50

LAUGHTER Forever more. Well done.
