We've come to Spitalfields Market

0:00:020:00:03

in the heart of the East End,

0:00:030:00:05

where I'll be meeting some celebrity teams who

0:00:050:00:07

will be playing for charity.

0:00:070:00:10

And I'd better not keep them waiting

0:00:100:00:12

as we've got items to find and loads of money to raise.

0:00:120:00:15

So, let's go Bargain Hunting.

0:00:150:00:18

On this special show from Spitalfields Market

0:00:410:00:44

in London's East End,

0:00:440:00:45

any profit our teams make will go to charity.

0:00:450:00:48

And today's celebrity Bargain Hunters

0:00:480:00:50

are stars of the airwaves.

0:00:500:00:53

From BBC Radio 1, we have DJs Dev Griffin and Alice Levine.

0:00:530:00:58

And they'll be taking on Radio 4 presenters

0:00:590:01:02

Nick Robinson and Aasmah Mir.

0:01:020:01:04

They have £300 and just 60 minutes

0:01:070:01:09

to try and find three antiques that will make them a profit at auction.

0:01:090:01:14

But the heat is on because any profits that are made

0:01:140:01:16

are going to charity.

0:01:160:01:18

Let's hope they don't buckle under the pressure.

0:01:180:01:20

Here's a sneaky peak at what's coming up.

0:01:200:01:22

The Blues try all sorts of tricks to make him as much profit as possible.

0:01:230:01:28

Oh, and money! Hey, we could do with a bit of that.

0:01:280:01:30

You said 15? Good.

0:01:300:01:32

THEY LAUGH

0:01:320:01:34

The Reds bare their souls.

0:01:340:01:36

-Do I look beautiful?

-I think it looks a little bit cheap.

0:01:360:01:40

DAVID GASPS

0:01:400:01:42

And at the auction, the stakes are higher than ever.

0:01:420:01:45

120, online.

0:01:450:01:46

THEY CHEER

0:01:460:01:47

120, we do.

0:01:470:01:48

-Yes.

-Yes!

0:01:480:01:51

But before all that, let's get to know our teams today a little better.

0:01:510:01:55

For the Reds, we have Radio 1 DJs Alice Levine and Dev Griffin.

0:01:550:01:59

And for the Blues, we have Radio 4 presenters

0:01:590:02:02

Aasmah Mir and Nick Robinson.

0:02:020:02:04

Hello, everyone, and welcome.

0:02:040:02:06

-ALL:

-Hello.

-Brilliant stuff. Let's start with the Reds.

0:02:060:02:09

Straight to you, Dev. Now, tell me where it all started.

0:02:090:02:11

I used to make fake radio shows

0:02:110:02:13

and I used a lot of my mum's record collection.

0:02:130:02:16

In fact, I damaged quite a lot of them, scratched them,

0:02:160:02:18

probably got jam on them, or something.

0:02:180:02:20

Poor Mum. Poor Mum.

0:02:200:02:21

Now, Dev, I believe you also love to play the guitar

0:02:210:02:24

and, unbelievably, had the opportunity to work with

0:02:240:02:27

a rock and roll legend.

0:02:270:02:29

Radio 1 organised for me to have a guitar lesson.

0:02:290:02:32

Turned up - actual Sir Paul McCartney.

0:02:320:02:34

And everything was absolutely fine

0:02:340:02:36

until he turned to me and said, "So, Dev,

0:02:360:02:37

"why don't you play me something?"

0:02:370:02:39

"All right, OK. I'll play you something,

0:02:390:02:42

"Paul McCartney...of The Beatles." But he was really nice,

0:02:420:02:44

we had a bit of a jam for about 20 minutes,

0:02:440:02:46

he gave me some incredible advice, and now we're like this,

0:02:460:02:49

we're best friends. I just haven't spoke to him since that happened.

0:02:490:02:53

But we're totally best friends.

0:02:530:02:55

So he's Team Red, for sure?

0:02:550:02:56

He certainly is. Yeah, yeah.

0:02:560:02:58

Now, let's move on to you, Alice.

0:02:580:02:59

Tell me about the perks you've had as a Radio 1 presenter.

0:02:590:03:02

My first interview ever, when I first joined Radio 1,

0:03:020:03:06

was with the massive film director Quentin Tarantino,

0:03:060:03:08

and we played Hungry Hippos together.

0:03:080:03:11

-Course you did.

-Because he loves board games, apparently.

0:03:110:03:13

But at the end he was like, "Do you mind if I keep this?"

0:03:130:03:15

And swept it all into his bag.

0:03:150:03:17

So, I'm still 30 quid down.

0:03:170:03:18

So, Quentin, if you're listening, you do still owe me.

0:03:180:03:21

And you love your radio career, obviously.

0:03:210:03:23

But tell us about your mum's reaction

0:03:230:03:26

to you taking the job on Radio 1.

0:03:260:03:27

Oh, yeah, she was really proud, I think.

0:03:270:03:29

But her main excitement was,

0:03:290:03:31

"Oh, I think you share a building with Radio 4!"

0:03:310:03:34

Which is obviously thrilling,

0:03:340:03:36

but not perhaps the reaction that I was looking for.

0:03:360:03:38

You can work up every ten years, Radio 2 after ten years,

0:03:380:03:41

Radio 3, that's how you do it. Eventually...

0:03:410:03:44

Will you tell the bosses that?

0:03:440:03:45

-Eventually, you get to the senior service.

-By about 60.

0:03:450:03:47

You heard it here first.

0:03:470:03:49

You two work together at Radio 1

0:03:490:03:50

but how are you going to work together as the Red team?

0:03:500:03:54

You seem to have a lot more knowledge than I do.

0:03:540:03:57

I was going to look for anything my nan might keep in her glass cabinet,

0:03:570:04:01

and would get annoyed if I went anywhere near it. That's the thing I want to get.

0:04:010:04:05

-Delicate things.

-Yeah.

0:04:050:04:07

Little knick-knacky, trinket-y things.

0:04:070:04:10

So you've got to people in mind today, your nan and Paul McCartney.

0:04:100:04:13

-Yes, exactly.

-Always.

0:04:130:04:15

Let those be your team mascots and good luck to you.

0:04:150:04:18

So let's move over to your rivals. Nick, coming to you first.

0:04:180:04:22

Now, I'm pretty chuffed, this is my chance to grill Nick Robinson.

0:04:220:04:25

-I'm a pushover.

-But that is YOUR skill -

0:04:250:04:28

you've come up against some pretty tough interviewees in the past.

0:04:280:04:32

There must have been some standout moments

0:04:320:04:34

on the Today show or as a political editor.

0:04:340:04:36

I had a series of run-ins with George W Bush,

0:04:360:04:39

ending in a moment where...

0:04:390:04:41

..there was a news conference on a beautiful sunny day,

0:04:410:04:44

and I, as you can see, am a little bit challenged

0:04:440:04:46

in the hair department.

0:04:460:04:47

And I started, at the end of this news conference,

0:04:470:04:50

to kind of mop my brow.

0:04:500:04:51

And George Bush was just kind of a few feet away.

0:04:510:04:54

He pointed at me and said,

0:04:540:04:56

-"Next time, you should cover your bald head."

-Oh!

0:04:560:04:59

And as Bush walked off, I said,

0:04:590:05:01

"I didn't know you cared, Mr President."

0:05:010:05:04

Not thinking he was listening.

0:05:040:05:06

And he turned round and went, "I don't!"

0:05:060:05:08

THEY LAUGH

0:05:080:05:10

Now, Aasmah, you started out training as a lawyer.

0:05:100:05:12

I thought that law was going to be really fantastically glamorous,

0:05:120:05:15

I thought it was going to be like courtroom dramas.

0:05:150:05:18

And obviously, by the time I got to university,

0:05:180:05:20

I realised it was incredibly dry.

0:05:200:05:21

So I managed to get a job in a TV company,

0:05:210:05:24

and that kind of... It was a slow, slow road to what I'm doing today.

0:05:240:05:28

One thing, when I'm listening to you on Radio 4,

0:05:280:05:31

I don't know how you deal with the live action,

0:05:310:05:33

it can just go anywhere. How do you deal with that?

0:05:330:05:35

Sometimes, if you're thrown by something

0:05:350:05:38

and you don't know what to ask,

0:05:380:05:39

you just ask something like, "What's happened?"

0:05:390:05:42

Followed by, "How significant is this?" And, "What's next?"

0:05:420:05:45

-That tends to get you out of...

-"What's next?" is the great one.

0:05:450:05:49

I'm going to take your tip and say, "What's next?" I know what's next,

0:05:490:05:53

I'm going to send you off to go shopping but

0:05:530:05:55

none of you can do that without any money,

0:05:550:05:58

so let's make it a level playing field. £300 to you, Reds,

0:05:580:06:01

and, Blues, £300 to you.

0:06:010:06:03

Your experts are so excited to meet you, so off you go.

0:06:030:06:06

Have lots of fun.

0:06:060:06:08

It seems our presenters have hidden talents

0:06:080:06:10

but will they be able to find the hidden treasures?

0:06:100:06:13

Let's hope so, as they've got to make loads of money for charity today.

0:06:130:06:16

Extra-special teams need experts to match.

0:06:170:06:20

Hoping to set the Red team on fire - it's David Harper.

0:06:210:06:25

And she's a guiding light for the Blues, it's Christina Trevanion.

0:06:250:06:30

The pressure is on today, is it not? We have to raise serious amounts of money for charity.

0:06:300:06:36

-What are we looking for, Nick?

-For bargains.

0:06:360:06:38

Dev, what are we going to buy?

0:06:380:06:40

I'm not going to lie, I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing.

0:06:400:06:44

I've watched enough of the show to have the right patter.

0:06:440:06:47

In terms of what I'm looking for, something worth money, no idea.

0:06:470:06:50

-I'm going to be leaning on you a lot, your expertise.

-Really?

0:06:500:06:53

Is that OK? Literally!

0:06:530:06:55

LAUGHTER

0:06:550:06:56

I'm a bit of a magpie,

0:06:560:06:57

so I'm just going to be drawn to anything shiny.

0:06:570:07:00

Fabulous! A bit of bling.

0:07:000:07:02

It could just be foil, you know, it doesn't really matter.

0:07:020:07:04

They've got youth on their side,

0:07:040:07:05

but we've got experience, have we not?

0:07:050:07:08

What are you saying?!

0:07:080:07:10

Try not to lose your bearings,

0:07:100:07:12

teams, your 60 minutes start now.

0:07:120:07:14

-BELL RINGS

-Shall we go and do it?

-Let's do it.

0:07:140:07:16

Come on, then, let's go.

0:07:160:07:18

There's been a market at Spitalfields for over 350 years.

0:07:180:07:22

That's a long time.

0:07:220:07:23

But time is the one thing our teams don't have on their side.

0:07:230:07:27

-I don't know where to start. OK.

-Think.

-You're not taking this home,

0:07:270:07:30

-you don't have to like it...

-It's not for me.

0:07:300:07:32

It's not for you, it just has to make us some money.

0:07:320:07:35

So, the Blues are going with their heads,

0:07:350:07:37

while the Reds are sticking with what they know.

0:07:370:07:40

-Right, well, see, this has attracted my attention already.

-OK.

0:07:400:07:43

Like a...an old record player. Do you think it's a little bit cliched?

0:07:430:07:47

People will be like, "Oh, radio DJs, you've just gone straight for

0:07:470:07:50

-"the music thing."

-Yeah.

-Bit cliched?

-Yeah, definitely.

0:07:500:07:53

No! It's not cliched at all.

0:07:530:07:55

Don't feel embarrassed about going for something that relates

0:07:550:07:58

-to your everyday work, because this is you.

-This is you.

0:07:580:08:01

You're all about music. And you, Alice. Stop trying to back out

0:08:010:08:04

-of the responsibility here.

-I know,

0:08:040:08:05

I don't want any of the responsibility.

0:08:050:08:07

That's an interesting thing. This is for travel.

0:08:070:08:10

You go on a picnic with the gorgeous Alice,

0:08:100:08:12

you've got champagne and all that sort of thing.

0:08:120:08:14

You get your portable gramophone out, and you wind the baby up.

0:08:140:08:18

-And you entertain Alice.

-That's so cool.

0:08:180:08:21

And I would serenade you to the sounds of...

0:08:210:08:24

..No Two People by Danny Kaye and Jane Wyman.

0:08:240:08:27

-It's our song!

-Would you fall for that, Alice?

0:08:270:08:29

I have already fallen for that.

0:08:290:08:30

-Yeah?

-In a big way.

0:08:300:08:32

It is really cool and I do love that it's portable

0:08:320:08:35

and people do love vinyl and do love records,

0:08:350:08:38

and it does feel personal to us, so it feels like there's a nice...

0:08:380:08:41

-Yeah.

-..story there.

-Yeah.

0:08:410:08:42

But should we look around a bit further?

0:08:420:08:44

I feel like you should never go for the first thing you see.

0:08:440:08:47

It seems like you're in a bit of a spin already, Reds,

0:08:470:08:50

and you've only been shopping a few minutes.

0:08:500:08:52

Now, I wonder if the Blues are on the same wavelength.

0:08:520:08:55

Radio? How appropriate is that?!

0:08:550:08:57

-Oh, lovely!

-Good point.

0:08:570:08:59

-Good point.

-Is that an old Robert's?

-Does it work?

-I don't think it is an old Robert's.

0:08:590:09:02

-It is an old...

-No.

0:09:020:09:04

-ALL:

-Dynatron!

0:09:040:09:06

-I love that.

-That sounds like what Superman should have -

0:09:060:09:09

Dynatron!

0:09:090:09:10

-It's like his kryptonite.

-Now, does it...?

-Where did this come from, darling?

0:09:100:09:14

-I love your style!

-Thank you.

0:09:140:09:15

You're a funky guy. Does it work?

0:09:150:09:17

VENDOR: Normally, you can tell when they're working.

0:09:170:09:20

-It's when they click, still. That's a good sign.

-Yeah, exactly.

0:09:200:09:23

If you want to push the two back open...

0:09:230:09:25

Go for it, go for it, go for it.

0:09:250:09:27

-Oh, my goodness!

-Oh, wow! Look at that!

0:09:270:09:29

You can see the battery terminals aren't too bad,

0:09:290:09:31

-so that's a good sign.

-Yes, it's not all crusty.

0:09:310:09:33

How old is that, do you reckon?

0:09:330:09:35

It looks '50s to me.

0:09:350:09:37

-Right.

-But...

-I might have...

-Could be '60s.

0:09:370:09:40

Yeah, it's got "Made in England" there, so it's post-1930s.

0:09:400:09:42

Well, the giveaway is cos it says "Third" and "Light".

0:09:420:09:46

In other words, that's before "Light" became BBC Two... Radio 2.

0:09:460:09:50

Ah...

0:09:500:09:51

-I'm so glad you're on this team.

-Yeah.

-Me too!

0:09:510:09:54

Radio 4 is the Home Service, at the BBC, there we are. "Home".

0:09:540:09:57

Strangely enough, Radio 1's not on there.

0:09:570:10:00

THEY LAUGH

0:10:000:10:02

Who?

0:10:020:10:03

I bet the Reds have something to say about that.

0:10:030:10:06

You've heard the saying - "Put a sock in it".

0:10:060:10:08

-Yes.

-What does that mean?

0:10:080:10:10

-"Shut up."

-"Be quiet."

0:10:100:10:12

-Yeah, yeah. Do you know where it comes from?

-No.

0:10:120:10:14

Gramophones.

0:10:140:10:16

They had one setting for volume,

0:10:160:10:18

so you'd put a sock in the gramophone,

0:10:180:10:21

and it would muffle the sound.

0:10:210:10:23

So if you wanted it really quiet, you'd go for a thick woollen...

0:10:230:10:25

-Yeah!

-But if you wanted it just a little bit quieter,

0:10:250:10:28

then you'd maybe go for a thin denier.

0:10:280:10:30

Yes, there you go. "Put a sock in it."

0:10:300:10:32

I feel, like, on our regular day jobs, on the radio,

0:10:320:10:35

there's quite a few people who would like to put a sock in us.

0:10:350:10:39

-Yes.

-Just directly.

-Exactly.

0:10:390:10:40

Oh, I don't know. I turn the radio up when you guys are on.

0:10:400:10:45

Talking of which...

0:10:450:10:47

INTERFERENCE

0:10:470:10:48

..are the Blues going to fork out for the 1950s wireless?

0:10:480:10:51

-What have you got on it?

-I've got 35 on it.

0:10:510:10:55

I think, for a tenner, it's brilliant.

0:10:550:10:57

-15.

-Pinkie promise?

0:10:570:11:00

-Yay!

-There you go.

-That's a deal. £15!

0:11:000:11:03

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you so much.

-Love that.

0:11:030:11:05

-"This is London calling."

-Bravo, Blues,

0:11:050:11:08

you've bagged your first buy, in under ten minutes.

0:11:080:11:10

Now, what have the Reds found?

0:11:100:11:13

I think it's a West African, West Coast bronze.

0:11:130:11:16

They take a mould of this in wax, and then pour in the molten bronze,

0:11:160:11:21

which of course burns away the wax,

0:11:210:11:22

leaving you with the bronze model,

0:11:220:11:25

meaning that each and every casting is absolutely unique.

0:11:250:11:28

-OK.

-Yeah. Why did you pick that one, Dev?

0:11:280:11:32

I don't know, I was just drawn to it.

0:11:320:11:34

It's sort of a man hanging out with his peacocks.

0:11:340:11:36

Maybe deep down, I want to just quit this radio, showbiz malarkey

0:11:360:11:39

and I just want to hang out with some peacocks, yeah.

0:11:390:11:42

VENDOR: Very reasonably priced as well, actually.

0:11:420:11:45

Is it? Is it?

0:11:450:11:46

How reasonable is reasonable?

0:11:460:11:48

-£25.

-£25.

-Is that your best price that you could do on this?

0:11:480:11:50

-WHISPERS EXCITEDLY:

-I'm doing it, I'm haggling!

0:11:500:11:52

That is the best, yes.

0:11:520:11:54

Oh, that was rubbish, then, Dev, if you don't mind me saying it.

0:11:540:11:57

Actually, I'll be honest with you, I would make that £20.

0:11:570:11:59

-What do you think, Alice?

-I'm really concerned.

0:11:590:12:02

Do we need to go for something with more mass appeal?

0:12:020:12:04

Or do you think that's something a lot of people will be drawn to?

0:12:040:12:07

You reckon this is too specialist,

0:12:070:12:09

you want to go a bit...lowest common denominator?

0:12:090:12:11

Look, here's the thing. I was Head Girl.

0:12:110:12:13

I'm, like, a goody two-shoes.

0:12:130:12:15

-Oh. Right.

-I don't want to get it wrong.

0:12:150:12:17

So, Alice is feeling the pressure of racking up a profit for charity.

0:12:170:12:21

Hats off to the Blues, though,

0:12:210:12:22

they seem to be getting into the swing of things.

0:12:220:12:25

Now, that... I like that.

0:12:250:12:28

That is a stylish hat for a stylish man.

0:12:280:12:30

-Love it. Thank you so much.

-Where's a stylish man?

0:12:300:12:33

THEY LAUGH

0:12:330:12:35

-That's it, I'm going.

-Oh, how rude!

0:12:350:12:37

It's not like you to run away from confrontation.

0:12:370:12:39

-How old is that?

-That would be Victorian.

0:12:390:12:42

It is anywhere dated between, say, about 1890 to 1900.

0:12:420:12:45

-Very smart. Very smart.

-Are you ready?

0:12:470:12:49

Oh, I'm ready. Go for it.

0:12:490:12:51

-It goes very well with the fleece.

-It does!

-Perhaps not.

0:12:510:12:55

What do we think? Jaunty?

0:12:550:12:58

VENDOR: You need to have a little bit...

0:12:580:13:00

Yeah, I think it's a bit high.

0:13:000:13:02

Little less derision, if we could.

0:13:020:13:04

How about a sort of more...?

0:13:040:13:06

-Ah. Now you're talking.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-That's better.

0:13:060:13:09

I sort of need a cane now.

0:13:090:13:10

Yeah, you do. That's exactly what you need.

0:13:100:13:12

Where's Fred Astaire when I need him?

0:13:120:13:14

-I was going to say. Absolutely.

-And Ginger.

-Yeah.

0:13:140:13:17

Will Dev and Alice do?

0:13:170:13:18

Our self-proclaimed goody two-shoes

0:13:180:13:20

is still unsure about the £20 bronze.

0:13:200:13:23

I really want to get you out of your comfort zone.

0:13:230:13:25

-OK.

-I want to get you out of the Head Girl zone.

0:13:250:13:28

It could make a fiver. It might make £50.

0:13:280:13:31

You might lose money, Alice.

0:13:310:13:33

-Don't say that!

-You might lose money.

0:13:330:13:35

But you might make some. And no-one knows.

0:13:350:13:37

OK, let's go with the man and his peacocks.

0:13:370:13:39

Good! Shake the man's hand,

0:13:390:13:41

-that's what we do. Thank you very much, sir.

-Thank you.

0:13:410:13:43

You're flying now, Reds.

0:13:430:13:45

But with nearly half an hour gone,

0:13:450:13:46

you and the Blues need to focus on finding items two and three.

0:13:460:13:50

You've got pens, you've got pamphlets,

0:13:500:13:51

-you've got jewellery...

-I just love everything.

0:13:510:13:54

-We're not buying...

-For me.

-..for you.

-OK.

0:13:540:13:57

And it looks like David and Alice

0:13:570:13:58

have found some unusual-looking jewellery.

0:13:580:14:01

-Alice, I think you like mid-century.

-I really like that.

0:14:010:14:05

-1950s.

-I love the detail on the links.

0:14:050:14:07

That's really nice.

0:14:070:14:09

It's silver and plastic, silver and Bakelite,

0:14:090:14:12

but I just think that is absolutely, on you, fantastic.

0:14:120:14:16

I feel like you're trying to sell it to me.

0:14:160:14:18

What am I doing?!

0:14:180:14:19

I'm meant to be buying it for the least possible price!

0:14:190:14:23

-Shall I try it on, then?

-Go on, try it on.

-OK.

-You try it on.

0:14:230:14:25

-I'll go that way.

-I'm not...

0:14:250:14:28

Oh, hang on. I'm not very good at doing this, hang on. Excuse me.

0:14:280:14:31

Don't garrotte me.

0:14:310:14:32

And let's hope the dealers aren't cut-throat with the asking price.

0:14:320:14:35

What sort of money can it be, guys?

0:14:360:14:38

-Eh... 120.

-Ouch!

0:14:380:14:41

-Yeah.

-120?!

0:14:410:14:43

How's that feel?

0:14:430:14:45

So, I thought we were against the clock.

0:14:450:14:47

We haven't got time to try on jewellery.

0:14:470:14:48

I know, but what does she look like in that?

0:14:480:14:50

Do I look beautiful?

0:14:500:14:52

I think it looks a little bit cheap.

0:14:520:14:54

DAVID GASPS

0:14:540:14:56

Cheap, it ain't, Dev! It's 120 smackers.

0:14:560:14:58

I know what you're saying, because it's not...flashy, is it?

0:14:580:15:01

Now, hang on a minute, Alice,

0:15:010:15:03

you don't even know what you look like.

0:15:030:15:04

I don't know how fabulous I appear to you both.

0:15:040:15:06

OK, I'm going to show you.

0:15:060:15:07

Look at... Hey!

0:15:070:15:09

-Hey.

-Hello.

-It's a winner.

0:15:090:15:11

That's one for the mantelpiece.

0:15:110:15:13

If we're going to be 100% honest,

0:15:130:15:15

I think I hate it.

0:15:150:15:16

If you hate it, we can't buy it.

0:15:160:15:18

-We can't buy it if one of the team hates it.

-Can't buy it.

0:15:180:15:20

But, as Christina told the Blues,

0:15:200:15:23

you just have to think profit and buy with your heads -

0:15:230:15:27

although she's fallen head over heels for an antique alphabet.

0:15:270:15:30

-Look at that.

-That is lovely, isn't it?

0:15:300:15:33

That is amazing!

0:15:330:15:35

-Patent - December the 5th, 1916, it says on there.

-Gosh.

0:15:350:15:39

But that is just... I've never seen such a complete set as this,

0:15:390:15:44

in such good condition.

0:15:440:15:46

-You see the likeness?

-Oh!

-If she's an alligator, that means I'm a cow!

0:15:500:15:53

-Yeah.

-What are you?

-I'm a nice, reassuring mouse with a cup of tea!

0:15:530:15:57

What do you think, guys?

0:15:570:15:58

-Well, I do. But it all depends.

-It's lovely, isn't it?

0:15:580:16:01

All depends how much it is.

0:16:010:16:02

-£200.

-£200...?

0:16:020:16:05

-Wow.

-That stretches our budget, doesn't it?

0:16:050:16:08

It does, and do you know, my number-one rule is...

0:16:080:16:10

I always say to people, "Don't buy with your heart,

0:16:100:16:12

"buy with your head, be commercial."

0:16:120:16:14

Yeah. I love it, it's just too expensive.

0:16:140:16:17

So it's a no to the antique alphabet

0:16:170:16:19

because it's too pricey.

0:16:190:16:21

But it seems the dealers have had a change of heart

0:16:220:16:24

on the £120 necklace

0:16:240:16:26

because they've found out any profits the Reds make go to charity.

0:16:260:16:30

VENDOR: I think a lucky pound will buy it.

0:16:300:16:33

-A pound?!

-One lucky pound.

-You can't give it to us for a pound.

0:16:330:16:36

-VENDOR:

-If it's for charity, we can. Yeah.

0:16:360:16:38

Somebody get a pound in that man's hand, quick!

0:16:380:16:40

-You like it now!

-Do you know what...

0:16:400:16:42

-VENDOR:

-He likes it now!

0:16:420:16:43

All of a sudden, it's got way more attractive in my eyes.

0:16:430:16:47

-It's the best bit of jewellery I've ever seen.

-Are you sure?

0:16:470:16:49

-Of course, yes.

-It's a deal.

0:16:490:16:51

What lovely stallholders.

0:16:510:16:53

And that means the Reds still have £279 to spend.

0:16:530:16:56

It's left us loads of money to get our final item with.

0:16:560:16:59

-Let's go big!

-We can go REALLY big.

0:16:590:17:01

So, while they see what they can find,

0:17:010:17:04

the Blues have found upon some silver,

0:17:040:17:06

with 35 minutes left on the clock.

0:17:060:17:08

That's beautiful. Just the shape of it, the weight as well...

0:17:080:17:12

-Exactly.

-It's lovely.

0:17:120:17:13

It's obviously a lozenge shape. It would've been part of

0:17:130:17:16

a dressing table set, originally, a little dish.

0:17:160:17:18

-What, for a brush or...?

-Something. I mean, just for a little lady's...

0:17:180:17:21

It would've been on a lady's dressing...

0:17:210:17:22

So it had jars with it. It would've had brushes, a hand mirror...

0:17:220:17:26

And these are very typical of this period.

0:17:260:17:28

Because if we look, it's by Henry Matthews.

0:17:280:17:31

We've got a hallmark there for Birmingham.

0:17:310:17:33

The lion passant for sterling silver,

0:17:330:17:35

and the date letter there for 1900.

0:17:350:17:37

-OK?

-I see.

0:17:370:17:39

So, late-Victorian, early-Edwardian period,

0:17:390:17:43

very commercial, very pretty.

0:17:430:17:44

And still, unlike the brushes and things, really,

0:17:440:17:47

-still usable today.

-Still usable. I mean, I would use this.

0:17:470:17:50

How much is this?

0:17:500:17:52

-VENDOR: Well, the ticket price is 89, but...

-How much, 89?

0:17:520:17:56

Yes, but...

0:17:560:17:58

I could do, if you need to get it a bit better than that...

0:17:580:18:01

Yes, please!

0:18:010:18:03

So, how about 60?

0:18:030:18:06

I love that you're being so generous.

0:18:060:18:08

That is incredibly generous.

0:18:080:18:10

For us, really, it would have to be more the £40-£50 region.

0:18:100:18:14

-All right.

-What's your thoughts?

0:18:140:18:16

Um... Hm...

0:18:160:18:18

-50 will do it.

-Will it?

-Yeah.

0:18:180:18:20

-Will that seal the deal?

-Cos it's for you.

-What do you think?

0:18:200:18:22

-I don't know - you're the expert, what do YOU think?

-I think...

0:18:220:18:25

A, it's a very good buy. B, it's very commercial.

0:18:250:18:28

I think he's done us a very good discount.

0:18:280:18:30

And I think... (I think you might make a profit at that.)

0:18:300:18:33

-OK.

-Yes.

-OK.

0:18:330:18:34

-We could sell it for...£89, maybe.

-THEY LAUGH

0:18:340:18:36

-Exactly!

-Just...picking a price off the top of my head.

0:18:360:18:39

Exactly. Shake the man's hand. I think that's brilliant.

0:18:390:18:42

-Thank you.

-Thank you so much.

0:18:420:18:43

No pressure - it's you next.

0:18:430:18:45

Don't sweat, Nick.

0:18:470:18:49

I'm sure you can find the perfect item in...20 minutes?

0:18:490:18:52

But with all the profit made by our teams going to charity,

0:18:520:18:55

the heat is on.

0:18:550:18:57

-Look, the news!

-The news.

-I can't resist.

0:18:570:19:00

"Every man, every woman must act."

0:19:000:19:03

That means YOU, teams.

0:19:030:19:05

Nick, it's your call.

0:19:050:19:07

Come on. No pressure.

0:19:070:19:09

The radio was a first choice... for a team.

0:19:090:19:11

The second choice was Aasmah's.

0:19:110:19:13

And I really feel the third should be Nick's.

0:19:130:19:15

-Something obscure...

-What,

0:19:150:19:17

you think you haven't bought anything weird yet?

0:19:170:19:20

-I mean, weirder than what we've got already.

-OK.

0:19:200:19:23

-So, something out of the ordinary.

-OK.

0:19:230:19:25

We've got something for you. We've got the bling factor.

0:19:250:19:28

-Got the bling.

-We've got the going-with-the-gut feeling...

-Got the peacocks.

-Peacocks...

0:19:280:19:33

-Oh, I used to play that.

-Did you?

-That's Totopoly, is it?

0:19:330:19:35

Totopoly is a racing game, but that's a very old version of it.

0:19:350:19:38

And you used to play it? You're not THAT old.

0:19:380:19:41

Yeah, that's right.

0:19:410:19:43

-You have horses and you go round.

-Oh, it has horses with it?

0:19:430:19:45

Yeah. There they are.

0:19:450:19:47

-Oh, my goodness!

-This is a lot older than the set I had.

0:19:470:19:50

And then, a bit like Monopoly, as you land on things,

0:19:500:19:52

it tells you either to pay up or you get some money back...

0:19:520:19:56

-Fab.

-So how much is it?

0:19:560:19:57

-£15.

-Oh, and money!

0:19:570:19:59

Hey, we could do with a bit of that.

0:19:590:20:00

-Now you're talking.

-Look at that!

0:20:000:20:03

You said 15?

0:20:040:20:06

-That's right.

-Good, so can I have some change?

0:20:060:20:08

Oh, you're a cheeky one, Nick!

0:20:080:20:11

Especially when you have loads of real money in your pocket.

0:20:110:20:14

£235, to be exact.

0:20:140:20:16

The Reds have 279 smackers, though,

0:20:160:20:19

and Dev knows what he wants to blow it on.

0:20:190:20:22

Something flashy, something really eye-catching.

0:20:220:20:25

Something...gold, like that!

0:20:250:20:28

What is it? Alice, Head Girl?

0:20:280:20:30

-Well, I hope I get it right.

-Who are we looking at?

-Is it Tutankhamun?

0:20:300:20:34

-It is.

-Or at least an artistic representation thereof.

-Yes.

0:20:340:20:38

Tutankhamun, I mean, a fantastic discovery.

0:20:380:20:41

I think - Dev, you'll correct me if I'm wrong - 1922?

0:20:410:20:43

Yeah, yeah, that's right.

0:20:430:20:45

Yeah, and was it Howard Carter?

0:20:450:20:47

-Howard... Howie.

-Yeah, old Carter was pretty good

0:20:470:20:50

-at his old discoveries, wasn't he?

-Yeah, yeah.

0:20:500:20:52

It's a copy of the original,

0:20:520:20:54

which I believe is in the Cairo Museum.

0:20:540:20:57

Or here, we don't know.

0:20:570:20:58

-Could that be it?

-Maybe the replica's in the museum

0:20:580:21:01

and we've got the original.

0:21:010:21:02

Maybe we should send someone to check.

0:21:020:21:04

Although, we only have ten minutes.

0:21:040:21:07

Back to Blues - are they on course to buy the horse racing game,

0:21:070:21:10

or will it stumble at the final hurdle?

0:21:100:21:14

-Hang on a sec. There's a different...

-So it's got two boards.

0:21:140:21:17

-Oh, I see!

-Fab. What do you think?

-Two for the price of one.

-Yeah.

0:21:170:21:22

-We've got all these bits.

-I love it. My worry is, at auction,

0:21:220:21:25

-it won't sell for that much.

-Yeah, but it's £15.

0:21:250:21:27

-I'm sure we will make...

-More than £15.

-Yeah?

0:21:270:21:29

I think this is a great poster.

0:21:290:21:31

It's a great piece of vintage art, if nothing else,

0:21:310:21:33

and then you've got all your gubbins, all your horses.

0:21:330:21:36

I mean, I haven't seen a complete set like that for a game...

0:21:360:21:38

I mean, it's in pretty good condition.

0:21:380:21:40

Normally, you'd see creases all over the place, you'd see tears...

0:21:400:21:43

-This has been kept in amazing condition.

-Yeah.

0:21:430:21:45

-It is lovely, isn't it?

-What do we reckon, then? I mean, I think yes.

0:21:450:21:48

You think yes. What do you think, Nick?

0:21:480:21:50

It's your... It's our last chance.

0:21:500:21:51

I LOVE it, but I'm just slightly worried... You think it will sell?

0:21:510:21:54

-It'll sell for more than £15.

-I think it will sell.

-Yeah?

-Yes.

0:21:540:21:58

Ten! Did I hear you say ten?

0:21:580:22:00

-Really, ten?

-No, no! But...12?

0:22:000:22:03

-12.

-What do you think?

-Do you want to do it?

0:22:030:22:05

I think so, yeah.

0:22:050:22:07

-Team choice?

-Yes.

0:22:070:22:10

Yeah? We'll take the blame for it as well.

0:22:100:22:13

-Exactly.

-Thank you very much indeed.

0:22:130:22:14

Thank you so much. That is fantastic, team.

0:22:140:22:17

-Well done. Three items.

-Pressure's off. We're done!

0:22:170:22:20

Very, very little money spent.

0:22:200:22:21

-And I think some bargains found, so well done.

-Excellent.

0:22:210:22:23

-That's what we were after.

-Come on, cup of tea.

0:22:230:22:26

-Let's go and celebrate.

-Thank you very much.

0:22:260:22:28

-Thank you so much.

-Thanks. Bye.

-Hey, well done!

0:22:280:22:31

-THEY LAUGH

-Aasmah's...

0:22:310:22:33

Oh, no, did I go the wrong way?

0:22:330:22:35

Fingers crossed you're on the right track with your three buys, Blues.

0:22:380:22:42

Now, with just five minutes to go,

0:22:420:22:44

will the Reds make a quick decision on Tutankhamun?

0:22:440:22:46

It's big, it's flashy...

0:22:460:22:48

I don't reckon anything the Radio 4 guys got

0:22:480:22:50

has got that much gold on it.

0:22:500:22:52

It doesn't look like anything I've seen on Bargain Hunt before.

0:22:520:22:54

-No. And for those reasons alone, I think we should get it.

-OK.

0:22:540:22:59

-Right, OK. It is not made from gold.

-Oh.

0:22:590:23:01

It's not even made from wood.

0:23:010:23:04

It's made from what we like to call in the business, in the trade,

0:23:040:23:07

plastic.

0:23:070:23:09

-No way.

-It's plastic.

0:23:090:23:11

But do you know what? It's imposing. It's a feature piece.

0:23:110:23:14

It's a stonker, I love it.

0:23:140:23:16

-It's theatrical, isn't it?

-Sir, what kind of money is he?

0:23:160:23:18

I was asking two-and-a-half,

0:23:180:23:20

but I'll take 180 on him, to you guys.

0:23:200:23:22

Is that the BEST price you can do?

0:23:220:23:25

I'd do it for 160.

0:23:250:23:26

Would you spin a coin?

0:23:260:23:27

-Yeah, go on.

-150, 160?

0:23:270:23:29

-OK.

-It's so exciting. This is how you haggle!

0:23:290:23:32

The ancient Egyptians used to say,

0:23:320:23:34

"For every joy, there is a price to be paid."

0:23:340:23:37

Well, let's hope it's £150 and not £160.

0:23:370:23:41

-Alice, you're going to call.

-OK.

-OK.

0:23:410:23:44

-Heads for the win.

-Heads for the win?

0:23:440:23:46

-It's heads for the win.

-It's heads!

-Sir, 150.

-All right.

0:23:460:23:49

Thank you very much indeed.

0:23:490:23:50

GONG REVERBERATES Is that the time? Teams, your 60 minutes are up.

0:23:500:23:54

We've bought Tutankhamun!

0:23:540:23:57

Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.

0:23:570:23:59

Alice thought the bronze figurine was a £20 gamble.

0:23:590:24:03

Hopefully, Dev's choice will pay off when it goes under the hammer.

0:24:030:24:07

They only paid £1 for the mid-century necklace.

0:24:070:24:10

But does that mean they'll be up to their necks in profit?

0:24:100:24:13

It's fake, it's flashy, it's plastic fantastic.

0:24:130:24:17

But is the replica of Tutankhamun worth £150?

0:24:170:24:21

Well, Dev, Alice, that was down to the wire.

0:24:210:24:24

Did you expect it to go so quickly?

0:24:240:24:26

It goes so quick. I think we weren't really paying attention to the time.

0:24:260:24:29

We got a bit lost in all of the lanes.

0:24:290:24:31

Which was your favourite item?

0:24:310:24:32

It'd have to be the bust of Tutankhamun.

0:24:320:24:36

It just looks visually stunning.

0:24:360:24:38

I think people are going to want to bid quite a lot of money on it.

0:24:380:24:41

I actually kind of want it for my own place.

0:24:410:24:43

OK, it's your favourite. Do you think it'll bring the biggest profit,

0:24:430:24:46

or will that be something else?

0:24:460:24:47

Fingers crossed that's going to be a big one for us.

0:24:470:24:49

Despite the fact the necklace only cost £1,

0:24:490:24:51

you think that's going to bring the biggest profit?

0:24:510:24:53

I didn't think about that.

0:24:530:24:54

Yeah, that's probably a more sensible answer.

0:24:540:24:56

Alice, are you going to fight the corner of this necklace?

0:24:560:24:59

-Was it your favourite?

-Well, we really like the necklace, don't we?

0:24:590:25:01

I think it's unique. It caught our eye for a reason. I think someone's

0:25:010:25:04

-going to really like it.

-The necklace is our big earner.

0:25:040:25:06

-It's got to bring the biggest profit, surely.

-Surely.

0:25:060:25:09

Money-wise, what did you spend in total?

0:25:090:25:11

-171.

-Pretty good going.

0:25:110:25:13

So 129 left.

0:25:130:25:14

-Do you need all of it?

-All of it, please.

0:25:140:25:17

Yeah, every last note and coin.

0:25:170:25:20

-Let me give that to you, David.

-Thank you.

0:25:200:25:21

Tell me, what are you thinking of spending it on?

0:25:210:25:24

I have seen something, actually.

0:25:240:25:26

A team game, a team sport.

0:25:260:25:28

-Interesting.

-Interesting indeed.

0:25:280:25:30

Well, as they David goes to hit the stalls,

0:25:300:25:32

let's remind ourselves what our Radio 4 presenters

0:25:320:25:35

on the Blue team bought.

0:25:350:25:37

£15 was paid for the Dynatron Nomad wireless.

0:25:370:25:40

Let's hope there isn't radio silence at the auction.

0:25:400:25:43

The Victorian silver tray by Henry Matthews

0:25:430:25:46

was the Blues' biggest buy.

0:25:460:25:47

£50 paid.

0:25:470:25:49

And they think the Totopoly horse racing game

0:25:490:25:52

is a frontrunner to make lots of lolly.

0:25:520:25:54

It cost them just £12.

0:25:540:25:56

Well, Nick and Aasmah, you did amazingly.

0:25:560:25:59

You've done Spitalfields with style.

0:25:590:26:00

Loads of time to spare. Did you expect that?

0:26:000:26:03

No, not at all. I thought we'd be right up against it.

0:26:030:26:05

I'm a bit worried now because... time to spare and money to spare.

0:26:050:26:08

A lot of money to spare. I'm just slightly...

0:26:080:26:11

But we can't lose that much, because we haven't spent very much.

0:26:110:26:14

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-We're going to stick with that.

0:26:140:26:17

So, Aasmah, tell me, which of the three is your favourite item?

0:26:170:26:19

I suppose I should say the first one, shouldn't I?

0:26:190:26:22

Because it was a radio. But I'm not going to.

0:26:220:26:23

No, it's the beautiful silver tray.

0:26:230:26:25

It's dinky, it's pretty,

0:26:250:26:27

and it's something that people could still use today.

0:26:270:26:29

It's kind of practical, but it's beautiful, vintage-looking.

0:26:290:26:32

Tell me, which one do you think is going to bring the biggest profit?

0:26:320:26:35

It must be the game, I think. The Totopoly game.

0:26:350:26:38

Because we got it at a really, really good price.

0:26:380:26:40

-12 quid was good.

-Yeah.

0:26:400:26:42

Surely we're going to sell it for a bit more than 12 quid.

0:26:420:26:46

13.

0:26:460:26:47

Well, what does that leave, Christina? 223?

0:26:470:26:51

-Who's got it? Aasmah?

-I've got it here.

0:26:510:26:53

-I was hoping you wouldn't remember. Here you go.

-Thank you so much.

0:26:530:26:57

I'll take that from you. It's going straight over to Christina.

0:26:570:27:00

-Thank you, my love.

-Has anything caught your eye in the market?

0:27:000:27:03

Oh, tonnes of stuff. But it's got to make a profit.

0:27:030:27:06

So I'll go back and have a little look round.

0:27:060:27:09

Well, like Christina says, it's got to make a profit,

0:27:090:27:11

and so do all the other three items, because all the money raised

0:27:110:27:15

will go to charity. So, let's head to the auction.

0:27:150:27:17

And for our extra special charity auction,

0:27:190:27:21

we've left the East End of London and come west

0:27:210:27:23

to Special Auction Services in Berkshire,

0:27:230:27:26

with none other than Thomas Blunt.

0:27:260:27:28

-Hello, Thomas.

-Hi, Natasha.

0:27:280:27:29

So let's start off with our first celebrity team,

0:27:290:27:32

Dev and Alice from Radio 1.

0:27:320:27:34

-Yeah.

-And the first item was chosen by Dev,

0:27:340:27:37

of course, under the watchful eye of David Harper,

0:27:370:27:40

and it's this wee figure here.

0:27:400:27:42

It's bronze and it's just a cool little subject matter, isn't it?

0:27:420:27:45

It's really cool. It is bronze and there's a gentleman feeding

0:27:450:27:49

his poultry, chickens, with a bit of corn.

0:27:490:27:53

And it's been in style.

0:27:530:27:54

It is bronze, made using the lost wax process.

0:27:540:27:58

Not the oldest thing to ever walk the Earth, I have to say.

0:27:580:28:02

-How old?

-I think the last ten years, maybe.

0:28:020:28:04

-OK, so it's hot off the press.

-Hot from the foundry, in Africa.

0:28:040:28:08

-But it's got the look.

-It's got the look.

0:28:080:28:10

And we've put £40-£60 on it.

0:28:100:28:12

Well, they only paid £20.

0:28:120:28:14

So at your estimate, they're already on track.

0:28:140:28:17

Now, let's move on to our next item.

0:28:170:28:20

Alice's choice this time.

0:28:200:28:21

Now, this is very sweet. And I want to know your opinion

0:28:210:28:24

on it because I think it's awfully wearable, but I want to know

0:28:240:28:27

what the ladies of Berkshire are going to think.

0:28:270:28:29

It's great. It's marked sterling,

0:28:290:28:31

which means it's probably going to be American,

0:28:310:28:33

-and in that sort of retro '50s style.

-OK.

0:28:330:28:36

It's probably that sort of date as well.

0:28:360:28:38

£40-£60.

0:28:380:28:39

Well, do you know, the price tag on this was three figures.

0:28:390:28:42

But the stallholder, all for this good cause,

0:28:420:28:46

-gave it to Dev and Alice for a pound.

-A pound?

-£1.

0:28:460:28:49

Well, 100% great profit,

0:28:490:28:51

-well done her.

-Profit, profit, profit.

0:28:510:28:53

And then we move on to, I think, a very good-looking bit of plastic,

0:28:530:28:56

because he looks the part.

0:28:560:28:58

Oh, it looks amazing.

0:28:580:28:59

What do you think someone is going to pay for Tutankhamun?

0:28:590:29:02

£50-£80.

0:29:020:29:04

Bear in mind that David Harper was there -

0:29:040:29:06

he allowed them to pay £150.

0:29:060:29:08

-HE LAUGHS

-No!

0:29:080:29:09

So perhaps all that profit that we made on the necklace

0:29:090:29:12

is going to be hanging in the balance

0:29:120:29:14

when this one goes under the hammer.

0:29:140:29:16

I think I'm even being generous at 50-80.

0:29:160:29:18

Well, on that note, let's find out what David bought the Reds

0:29:180:29:21

as a bonus buy.

0:29:210:29:22

It could be their last hope.

0:29:220:29:24

Well, Dev and Alice, you worked so well as a team

0:29:240:29:28

and you picked up some amazing bargains.

0:29:280:29:30

David, we're hoping that you did the same with your leftover money.

0:29:300:29:34

Well, we shall soon see. But, you know, when you go out hunting

0:29:340:29:37

to buy something specific for your team,

0:29:370:29:39

some things leap out at you, and this leapt out at me.

0:29:390:29:43

I could just see you two at the Radio 1 studio

0:29:430:29:46

whilst playing a disc, the music is blasting,

0:29:460:29:49

and you two are playing...

0:29:490:29:51

Alice, reveal.

0:29:510:29:53

..with this object.

0:29:530:29:55

-Oooh!

-Oh, I like it! It's cool!

0:29:550:29:59

Cool? It is cool. It's Italian.

0:29:590:30:01

I think it's 1960s, 1970s. It's a team sport.

0:30:010:30:05

-Come on, Dev, get with the programme!

-I'm involved.

0:30:050:30:07

I really like it. Any sort of toy that distracts me, I'm...

0:30:070:30:11

-I love it.

-It's the kind of sport I can get involved with, yeah.

0:30:110:30:14

-Absolutely.

-So what did you pay for it?

0:30:140:30:16

What did you think I paid for it?

0:30:160:30:18

You splash the cash, so I can imagine what you paid for it.

0:30:180:30:21

-Go on, then.

-I hope you didn't spend more than £50 on it.

0:30:210:30:24

-OK, Alice?

-I'm going to say you did go higher.

0:30:240:30:27

I'm going to say you spent £97.50.

0:30:270:30:30

-£30, I paid.

-Wow!

-Yay!

0:30:300:30:32

-Now I like it a lot more!

-Good.

0:30:320:30:34

Well, the Reds seem pretty sold, but let's find out what Thomas,

0:30:340:30:37

the auctioneer, thinks of David's football game.

0:30:370:30:39

Well, Thomas, as if there wasn't enough plastic fantastic

0:30:410:30:43

on the Red team, David found them

0:30:430:30:45

this plastic and wooden table football game.

0:30:450:30:48

I mean, it's vintage. Is that a good market here?

0:30:480:30:50

It's really cool, yeah. We sell a lot of toys.

0:30:500:30:53

Everybody loves a bit of table football,

0:30:530:30:55

and it's great for the home because it's not a big one.

0:30:550:30:57

No, it's not. It is just for the table, and it could be a fun

0:30:570:31:01

-after dinner sort of surprise.

-It's really great.

0:31:010:31:03

So what do you think it's worth?

0:31:030:31:05

-£20-£30.

-Well, he did pay £30 for it,

0:31:050:31:08

so he's not done too badly whatsoever.

0:31:080:31:10

And it could be a bit of fun, just like you say.

0:31:100:31:12

I think it's going to be fine.

0:31:120:31:13

OK, so let's move on to Radio 4 now.

0:31:130:31:16

So we've got to sort of mind our Ps and Qs and speak very nicely,

0:31:160:31:19

we're on to Radio 4. Nick and Aasmah representing for the Blue team.

0:31:190:31:23

And what's the first thing that they bought? A radio.

0:31:230:31:26

So tell me what you think of this vintage piece.

0:31:260:31:29

Well, they must have worked really hard to buy a vintage radio

0:31:290:31:32

which is missing its strap and in quite poor condition.

0:31:320:31:36

-Was that a note of sarcasm, Thomas?

-It was, slightly.

0:31:360:31:38

But you know, when you've got 60 minutes on the clock, the pressure's on...

0:31:380:31:41

-Pressure's on, yeah.

-The pressure's on.

0:31:410:31:43

What do you think it's worth, bearing in mind it's a bit battered and bruised?

0:31:430:31:47

£10-£20. Maybe I'm doing it a disservice.

0:31:470:31:49

-Maybe, but they only paid £15 for it.

-Well, it's fine.

0:31:490:31:52

But there are so many great ones out there.

0:31:520:31:54

OK. Let's move on here to a silver dressing table tray.

0:31:540:31:58

It's very sweet, it's got its nice pie crust edge.

0:31:580:32:01

Is this more up your street?

0:32:010:32:02

It's silver, it's dated, it's by Henry Matthews,

0:32:020:32:05

you've got these lovely cherubs...

0:32:050:32:07

It's a great thing.

0:32:070:32:08

And dated 1900 as well,

0:32:080:32:09

-which is a really nice, spot-on...

-Spot-on date.

0:32:090:32:13

I reckon between £40-£60.

0:32:130:32:15

-This was £50.

-Oh, brilliant.

0:32:150:32:17

Then we move on to Nick's choice.

0:32:170:32:19

This game of Totopoly reminded him of the nostalgia of his childhood

0:32:190:32:22

and everything - do you see the appeal?

0:32:220:32:24

Nostalgia's a massive thing.

0:32:240:32:25

It is in good condition, so it's a great, fun thing.

0:32:250:32:28

And we put £30-£50 on it.

0:32:280:32:30

Well, believe it or not, Nick had to have it,

0:32:300:32:33

and he got it for £12 only.

0:32:330:32:35

-It's going to make a profit.

-Fingers crossed it will.

0:32:350:32:37

We all know it's for a good cause.

0:32:370:32:39

And just to help them make a little bit more money,

0:32:390:32:41

let's see what Christina bought as a bonus buy.

0:32:410:32:44

Well, Nick and Aasmah, we let you loose

0:32:450:32:47

in Spitalfields with Christina,

0:32:470:32:49

and then we let Christina loose in Spitalfields on her own

0:32:490:32:52

with £223!

0:32:520:32:54

So, Christina, what did you buy?

0:32:540:32:56

It's just dangerous, isn't it? Let's be honest!

0:32:560:32:58

-Ta-daa!

-Ooh!

0:32:580:33:00

Goodness me!

0:33:000:33:01

So, we have got a silver case,

0:33:010:33:03

but the really beautiful thing about it

0:33:030:33:06

is this wonderful enamelled panel here of a horse.

0:33:060:33:08

So I thought, horse racing game, silver...

0:33:080:33:10

-It goes together.

-What more could you want?

-OK.

0:33:100:33:12

It's dated inside, 1928,

0:33:120:33:14

so it's really just on the cusp of that wonderful Art Deco style.

0:33:140:33:17

But really the key, what all the collectors will want,

0:33:170:33:20

is this enamelling, because there are very, very hot collectors

0:33:200:33:23

for enamelling, firstly, and anything to do with animals.

0:33:230:33:25

So to have it in such perfect condition is really very good.

0:33:250:33:29

But I'm not feeling the love, guys.

0:33:290:33:31

-No, no, I'm feeling good.

-I am, too. I'm pleasantly surprised.

0:33:310:33:34

I was so worried. It looked really small.

0:33:340:33:36

Got to be better than the radio without the handle.

0:33:360:33:39

It just looked so small, I thought, "Oh, no, what's going to be?"

0:33:390:33:42

And then I saw it. I mean, I like it.

0:33:420:33:44

Small but perfectly formed.

0:33:440:33:45

-But Christina, you had £223.

-Yes.

-So...

0:33:450:33:50

I paid £200 for it.

0:33:500:33:52

THEY GASP

0:33:520:33:53

Oh, no! I've changed my mind!

0:33:530:33:55

THEY LAUGH

0:33:550:33:56

Well, you don't need to make your mind up now.

0:33:560:33:58

Let's find out what Thomas the auctioneer thinks.

0:33:580:34:01

So to complement the silver from 1900,

0:34:010:34:04

Christina has gone and bought a silver cigarette case from 1928.

0:34:040:34:09

You've got to like this.

0:34:090:34:11

This is a fabulous thing.

0:34:110:34:12

It's continental silver. It's marked 800.

0:34:120:34:15

You've got quite a bit of interesting design.

0:34:150:34:17

You've got these striations going on the silver cigarette case,

0:34:170:34:20

and then you've got this... almost like a stamp.

0:34:200:34:22

-Yeah.

-This beautiful enamelled horse.

0:34:220:34:24

And so often that's just a print, isn't it?

0:34:240:34:26

But to have the hand-painted cartouche

0:34:260:34:29

is a lovely thing, isn't it?

0:34:290:34:30

It is a really good thing. I really like it.

0:34:300:34:33

Tell me what you think it's going to make.

0:34:330:34:35

We put it in at £80-£120.

0:34:350:34:37

OK - Christina went all out for Radio 4, for Nick and Aasmah,

0:34:370:34:42

and she spent £200 on it.

0:34:420:34:44

-Wow!

-Wow.

-Wow.

-But all those positive attributes,

0:34:440:34:48

it could just get there.

0:34:480:34:49

Absolutely. Silver and enamel, that is all I need to say.

0:34:490:34:52

Well, it is not ALL you need to say, because what you need to say

0:34:520:34:56

when you get on that rostrum is, "Bid, bid, bid!"

0:34:560:34:58

-Don't worry.

-Because all the money today is going to charity,

0:34:580:35:01

so fingers crossed Thomas can get plenty of profits.

0:35:010:35:04

55, 60,

0:35:040:35:06

65, 70.

0:35:060:35:07

£70, it is, at £70. Selling!

0:35:070:35:10

Is this your first auction?

0:35:100:35:11

Yeah, it's pretty exciting. Am I allowed to talk loud?

0:35:110:35:14

-I feel like I should whisper.

-You've just bought three items!

0:35:140:35:16

We couldn't be in better hands, Thomas is a brilliant auctioneer.

0:35:160:35:20

-He's got some pretty cool stuff to sell. The first of which is our bronze, which you loved.

-Yeah.

0:35:200:35:24

-That's right.

-Have you got faith in it still?

0:35:240:35:26

It's a bit of an odd purchase, but I think it's a bit quirky,

0:35:260:35:30

hopefully it'll stand out.

0:35:300:35:32

You only paid £20, so anything

0:35:320:35:34

above that is a profit for the charity. Here it comes.

0:35:340:35:37

Lot number 10, and I'm starting

0:35:370:35:39

at 45. £50 I have.

0:35:390:35:43

At 50. 120 online already, we're already at 120.

0:35:430:35:46

-Already it's 120, online bid has it at 120.

-Come on!

0:35:460:35:49

Join in when you want, it's fine.

0:35:490:35:52

At 120, once.

0:35:520:35:53

Twice at 120.

0:35:530:35:55

Sold at 120.

0:35:550:35:56

-Unbelievable!

-You've got a new career ahead of you.

0:35:560:35:59

£100 profit straight away.

0:35:590:36:03

Lot number two, the necklace bought for £1

0:36:030:36:05

so anything's a profit here.

0:36:050:36:07

Lovely, lovely red links to it.

0:36:070:36:10

Start me at £30. 30, I have.

0:36:100:36:12

35. 40. 40, I've got.

0:36:120:36:16

45. 50. 50, it is, here.

0:36:160:36:19

-55. 60.

-Go on.

-How good is this?

0:36:190:36:22

70. It's in the room.

0:36:220:36:24

75. 80. In the room, against the internet.

0:36:240:36:27

Any advance in the room?

0:36:270:36:28

At £80 I have once.

0:36:280:36:30

Are we done? And I'm selling at 80.

0:36:300:36:32

-All done.

-Yes!

-£80.

0:36:320:36:34

So that's a £79 profit. You are up £179.

0:36:360:36:41

Right, here we go, here comes Tutankhamun.

0:36:410:36:44

You paid £150 for the Boy King.

0:36:440:36:47

It's a risk, but the prices are doing so well.

0:36:470:36:50

We have the bust of Tutankhamun, looking absolutely splendid.

0:36:500:36:54

It's got to be worth 30.

0:36:540:36:56

-We need a hand.

-£30 for Tutankhamun.

0:36:560:36:58

Come on! It's fabulous at 30.

0:36:580:37:01

-30, I have got.

-Yes!

0:37:010:37:04

35. Is there any more at 35?

0:37:040:37:06

40 now...

0:37:060:37:09

Refresh the internet!

0:37:090:37:10

We've refreshed the internet.

0:37:100:37:12

40, it is once.

0:37:120:37:14

40, it is, twice. £40 sold, I don't believe it!

0:37:140:37:17

Oh...sold at £40,

0:37:170:37:20

so you have lost 110.

0:37:200:37:22

Which means you are still £69 in profit.

0:37:220:37:25

-Oh, well.

-That's all right.

0:37:250:37:28

So now it comes down to the table football game.

0:37:280:37:31

Are you going for it or not? £30, he spent on it.

0:37:310:37:34

Definitely. We have to.

0:37:340:37:36

Thomas thinks it's worth 20 to 30, so it's marginal. But it'll be OK.

0:37:360:37:40

£20. For the table football, in the room at £20.

0:37:400:37:44

It's gorgeous!

0:37:440:37:46

It is gorgeous! It is absolutely gorgeous.

0:37:460:37:48

-25.

-It's very rare!

-It's immensely rare!

0:37:480:37:51

28.

0:37:510:37:52

-30.

-Yes! Broken even.

-£30.

0:37:520:37:56

Have you doubled your money already?

0:37:560:37:58

-No, no, I need one more bid for a profit!

-You don't, do you?

-I do!

0:37:580:38:02

30, 30.

0:38:020:38:04

Oh, we have 35 online.

0:38:040:38:06

THEY CHEER

0:38:060:38:07

40, now. 45, once, 45, twice.

0:38:070:38:11

Gavel's up. Selling...

0:38:110:38:12

THEY CHEER Woo-hoo!

0:38:120:38:14

45.

0:38:140:38:15

£15 profit. Quick maths...

0:38:150:38:17

£84 profit.

0:38:170:38:19

Happy with that. That's good.

0:38:190:38:21

Let's not forget, this is Radio 1 vs Radio 4, this is a competition, so,

0:38:210:38:25

perhaps your profit won't be the winning one.

0:38:250:38:27

But a profit it is nonetheless,

0:38:270:38:29

so keep it to yourselves and we'll see what happens next.

0:38:290:38:31

Awesome, awesome.

0:38:310:38:33

Well done!

0:38:340:38:35

Right, so, the pressure's on.

0:38:430:38:45

First item is your radio. Don't worry, the handle is broken,

0:38:450:38:48

but the auctioneer didn't notice that.

0:38:480:38:49

-Good.

-He did.

0:38:490:38:51

-He reckons it's worth 10-£20.

-Yes indeed, yes!

0:38:510:38:54

So here we go!

0:38:540:38:55

This is your fabulous Dynatron Nomad red radio.

0:38:550:39:00

Start me at the grand price of £10.

0:39:000:39:02

It's got to be worth £10.

0:39:020:39:04

Absolutely, come on!

0:39:040:39:07

It's a classic, of wonderful design.

0:39:070:39:08

10, I've got, at the back over there.

0:39:080:39:11

At 10, it is. Come on, ladies and gentlemen.

0:39:110:39:13

There's got to be more in the room. I'm looking...

0:39:130:39:15

15, I have.

0:39:150:39:16

20, now. 20, it is.

0:39:160:39:18

Are we all done?

0:39:180:39:20

For the fabulous radio, £20... Sold at 20.

0:39:200:39:23

-Sold!

-It's a profit. £5. Brilliant.

0:39:230:39:27

Give me five, and that is what you've just made,

0:39:270:39:29

£5 profit. Next up,

0:39:290:39:31

your silver dressing table tray from 1900.

0:39:310:39:34

You paid 50. Aasmah, don't worry...

0:39:340:39:36

Birmingham, 1900, I can start the bidding at 45

0:39:360:39:39

and 50, I have.

0:39:390:39:41

55, it's here online at 55.

0:39:410:39:43

Another fiver, profit.

0:39:430:39:46

It's all done - once, twice at 55.

0:39:460:39:48

Gavel's up...

0:39:480:39:49

OK, 55.

0:39:490:39:51

Softly, softly.

0:39:510:39:53

This was your cheapest item. £12 paid.

0:39:540:39:57

Looking for the nostalgia market.

0:39:570:39:59

And all the accessories in it. Start me at £10.

0:39:590:40:03

10 it is, sir. At 10.

0:40:030:40:05

In the room at 10.

0:40:050:40:06

I have £12!

0:40:060:40:09

15. 18...

0:40:090:40:11

-Oh - 20, we do.

-Yes!

0:40:110:40:13

Buy that man a drink.

0:40:130:40:14

No? I don't believe it. You mean man, come on!

0:40:140:40:17

LAUGHTER

0:40:170:40:19

22, it is.

0:40:190:40:22

He's now abusing the bidders to get more money!

0:40:220:40:25

The finest game here at £22...

0:40:250:40:27

Done.

0:40:270:40:29

-Room bid, 22.

-22.

0:40:290:40:31

That's another tenner. So, where are we? £20 overall.

0:40:310:40:34

You're retiring on £20, Nick.

0:40:340:40:36

I've never been so excited by £20 in my life.

0:40:360:40:39

So now we've got a question.

0:40:390:40:42

Christina spent £200 on this -

0:40:420:40:44

are you going to risk your profit?

0:40:440:40:45

-Yes.

-Really?

-Always.

0:40:450:40:48

Start me at 60.

0:40:480:40:49

£60 for silver and enamel.

0:40:490:40:51

65, 70. 75, 80.

0:40:510:40:53

90, now, it's moving on.

0:40:530:40:55

-90 now, it's moving on. At £90.

-Come on, it's beautiful.

0:40:550:40:58

Gavel is up at 90.

0:40:580:41:00

90 once.

0:41:000:41:01

90 twice. Are we all done?

0:41:010:41:03

-GAVEL COMES DOWN

-£90.

0:41:030:41:04

No...!

0:41:040:41:06

But anyway, Christina...

0:41:060:41:08

Yeah - what were you thinking of?!

0:41:080:41:10

I take full responsibility.

0:41:100:41:13

Shock result, shock result.

0:41:130:41:15

£90 hammer means it's actually lost

0:41:150:41:18

£110, wiping out your profit

0:41:180:41:21

and meaning a loss of £90 overall.

0:41:210:41:23

Our reputations are in tatters.

0:41:230:41:26

Listen, you never know, the Reds could have done dismally as well,

0:41:260:41:29

-so even your loss could be a winning score.

-Not that dismally!

0:41:290:41:31

So, we'll say nothing to the Reds!

0:41:330:41:34

OK.

0:41:340:41:36

Well, Reds, Blues, experts, this is it. We're getting down to brass tacks.

0:41:440:41:48

The fun of the auction is over.

0:41:480:41:50

You all had a whale of a time and some people made profits...

0:41:500:41:53

In fact, all of you made profits at one point!

0:41:530:41:56

Which means that today on Bargain Hunt,

0:41:560:41:58

our winners are...

0:41:580:42:00

..the Reds!

0:42:000:42:01

THEY CHEERS

0:42:010:42:03

With a profit of £84! Well done!

0:42:030:42:06

£84, who's taking it?

0:42:060:42:09

-Go on, Alice, you're better with money.

-Alice.

0:42:090:42:11

-Thank you.

-80 and the shrapnel.

0:42:110:42:14

That's probably for you!

0:42:140:42:15

In fact, it's for neither of you, because it's all going to charity,

0:42:150:42:19

so well done, Reds!

0:42:190:42:21

Which means, Blues, you are today's runners-up.

0:42:210:42:24

We don't need to go into any details.

0:42:240:42:27

Actually, on Bargain Hunt, nothing is black and white,

0:42:270:42:30

because it is red and blue.

0:42:300:42:31

Although you've made a loss on the bonus buy,

0:42:310:42:33

we've been there, we've heard about it,

0:42:330:42:35

you made a profit on all of the items you chose at Spitalfields.

0:42:350:42:39

When you make a profit on all three of your items on Bargain Hunt, you get a special prize...

0:42:390:42:44

..a Golden Gavel!

0:42:450:42:47

-So, all is not lost. One for you, Aasmah.

-Thank you.

0:42:470:42:50

-One for you, Nick.

-Thank you very much.

-Money cannot buy those.

0:42:500:42:53

Money cannot buy, you know, the boost to your reputation that that provides.

0:42:530:42:57

Just in case you were worried!

0:42:570:42:59

So, seeing as we all had so much fun,

0:43:000:43:01

will you join us again for some more Bargain Hunting? Yes?

0:43:010:43:04

-ALL:

-Yes!
