0:00:02 > 0:00:04This is Spitalfields in London's East End.
0:00:04 > 0:00:07And over the centuries, many notorious crimes have happened here.
0:00:09 > 0:00:13Once upon a time, Jack the Ripper stalked these streets.
0:00:17 > 0:00:22And in fact, murder, debauchery and, well, general bad behaviour,
0:00:22 > 0:00:25were everyday occurrences in these parts.
0:00:25 > 0:00:29One dastardly deed after another took place near Spitalfields market.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31But, of course,
0:00:31 > 0:00:33there'll be absolutely none of that on this show.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Well, at least I hope not!
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Come on, let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Well, the Reds and Blues won't be breaking any laws.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04I can't promise they'll play fair.
0:01:04 > 0:01:05It's going to be a tough competition.
0:01:08 > 0:01:13But, surely, our teams can't go wrong here, in Spitalfields market?
0:01:13 > 0:01:14Or is that wishful thinking?
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Let's take a gander at what's coming up.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19The Reds speak their minds.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- It's boring.- Why would we want that? - It's boring.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24The Blues are put to work.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Just tidying away. She's just tidying away, Tobias!
0:01:28 > 0:01:31And there are shocks and surprises at the auction.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Come on, madam.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34I'm concentrating!
0:01:34 > 0:01:36- Come on!- Yay!
0:01:40 > 0:01:43But before all that, I'd like to introduce you to today's teams.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46It's going to be a cracker of a show because joining me here
0:01:46 > 0:01:49at the noisy market are the Reds, Alice and Claire,
0:01:49 > 0:01:50and the Blues, Tuoi and Tobias.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52- Welcome, everyone. Hello!- Hello!
0:01:53 > 0:01:55That was a brilliant response!
0:01:55 > 0:01:56Now, Claire, I'm coming straight to you.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58You and Alice are great friends.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00But tell us, how did you meet?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02So me and Alice are both artists ourselves.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05I started a job with an artist, helping him, last year.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07And this year we needed a new assistant,
0:02:07 > 0:02:09so I didn't know Alice before this,
0:02:09 > 0:02:12but she applied and I interviewed her and then we employed her.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15And since then we've just been really good friends.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17So we work together and we're great friends as well.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Now, work is very important to you.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22It's taking you to some rather far-flung places, hasn't it, Claire?
0:02:22 > 0:02:26Yeah, earlier this year I went to Nepal for a little bit.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29And I was teaching art at a school there, which was amazing
0:02:29 > 0:02:31because none of the kids, kind of, do art as a subject.
0:02:31 > 0:02:36So to get their kind of imagination and creativity out was just amazing.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Yeah. So, Alice, like Claire, you're an artist too.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41But a different medium and one that raises a few eyebrows?
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Yes, I'm a metal pourer.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45So it's made my mum really proud, you know,
0:02:45 > 0:02:48her only daughter pouring metal, leathered up.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51So I do teaching but also make my own, kind of, objects,
0:02:51 > 0:02:52in bronze, mostly.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54So tell us about some interesting commissions that you've worked on?
0:02:54 > 0:02:58So I was part of the fabrication team for the Queen's Jubilee barge,
0:02:58 > 0:03:00so the bow, the gold sculptures at the front.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02There was a team of about 40 of us,
0:03:02 > 0:03:04but I was one of the casters for that.
0:03:04 > 0:03:05- Really cool.- Yeah.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07So did that make your mum proud?
0:03:07 > 0:03:09That did make my mum proud. I mean, yeah, definitely.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Well, good luck today, Reds.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14It sounds like you're going to have far too much fun on Bargain Hunt!
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Yes. So let's handover to the competition.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18But they look so friendly!
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Tuoi and Tobias. What a lovely couple.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Let's go to you first, Tobias.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Tobias Goodnight.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26It's a brilliant name. Where did it come from?
0:03:26 > 0:03:30Actually, I've got to admit to being a bit cheeky,
0:03:30 > 0:03:32I stole it from TV.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36I, basically, changed my name a few years ago by deed poll.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38We were watching a Bond movie, The Man With The Golden Gun,
0:03:38 > 0:03:40and the Bond girl was called Goodnight.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43So I thought, that's a nice name, and now, here I am.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46But what did you make of that, were you involved in the choosing?
0:03:46 > 0:03:47Yes, most definitely.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49It's very similar to my dad's name, Goodwin.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53So it's sort of nice to be able to sort of somewhat carry on
0:03:53 > 0:03:54the "Good" name.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56- The good work! - It's half the name!- Yeah, exactly.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01So, you two have just had an epic journey across Europe.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04But, first of all, tell me, were there any James Bond-worthy moments?
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Yes, there were a few, actually.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Tobias had a very much Daniel Craig-esque moment
0:04:10 > 0:04:13when he came out of the waterfall in the middle of Spain
0:04:13 > 0:04:14in his boxer shorts.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Oh, right. Nice, nice!
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- Any photos? - Yes, quite a few, actually!
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- All deleted!- Any Bond girl moments?
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Yes, Tobias made me feel very much like a Bond girl
0:04:26 > 0:04:30when we sipped Prosecco along the Grand Canal in Venice.
0:04:30 > 0:04:31Oh, that's so lovely.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33With a high-speed boat chase going on beside you!
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- Not quite!- Now, you know, there is something that I've heard,
0:04:37 > 0:04:39it's a rumour, I don't know if it's true.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41It's freaking me out so I think we should address it
0:04:41 > 0:04:42here in front of the nation.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46Do you genuinely have a collection of bellybutton fluff?
0:04:46 > 0:04:47Yes.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Eurgh!
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Exclusively your own?
0:04:51 > 0:04:52Just my own, yes. I'm not that weird!
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Sorry, you're not that weird?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Oh, yeah, because if anyone else's was in there,
0:04:57 > 0:04:58that would just be weird!
0:04:58 > 0:05:00She suggested that how about she holds on to it
0:05:00 > 0:05:02and then one day she'll knit me a jumper with it.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Yeah, we'll save it and knit a jumper.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06So that then sort of evolved to putting it in a jar,
0:05:06 > 0:05:09which now sort of sits on our mantelpiece at home.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Well, I hope you won't find any antique bellybutton fluff
0:05:11 > 0:05:14down in the market today! Maybe some dust.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16What are your tactics as the Blue team today?
0:05:16 > 0:05:17Mainly to have fun.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19I would say we're here for the experience more than the money.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Well, it will be an experience, because we're in London,
0:05:22 > 0:05:24the market's behind us, you're raring to go.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26So let me give you some dosh.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28£300 to the Reds.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30£300 to the Blues.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Spend it wisely. Off you go, your experts are waiting to meet you.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34Thank you!
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Bellybutton fluff, have you ever heard the likes?
0:05:37 > 0:05:40So we have truly terrific teams
0:05:40 > 0:05:41with experts to match.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Unusual and interesting, that will float David Harper's boat.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48He joins the Reds.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52She's worldly wise, Christina Trevanion takes charge of the Blues.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53Right, you Reds, then.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Come on, Alice, what are we going to go hunting for?
0:05:56 > 0:05:58I want kitsch, I want glitter, I want gold, I want pink.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Well, I'm looking for something vintage.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Vintage? You're in luck, we are surrounded by Vintage.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06- Claire? - I want big and I want expensive.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Wow, dream girl!
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Anything sort of retro, kitsch, cool.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13- Sort of our personal taste, I think. - Definitely.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15You could be describing yourself!
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Try not to lose your bearings, teams, your 60 minutes start now!
0:06:20 > 0:06:22- Ready?- Yes!- Let's go.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Anything... What, kind of, is your style, guys?
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- We've got kitsch, we've got... - I quite like that chair.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36This chair, because I've got a desk at home it would go perfectly with.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Do you remember that the whole concept of the programme
0:06:38 > 0:06:41is that we are not buying for Tobias' house!
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- OK.- But I do like it, this is quite cool, isn't it?
0:06:44 > 0:06:45What have we got here?
0:06:45 > 0:06:49"Aluminium swivel chair from 1952, possibly military."
0:06:49 > 0:06:50"From America." It's American.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54- Budget, though.- £360, and it's yours, team.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57At that price, the chair is going to have to stay put.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Heads up, though, the Reds have found something.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- The big one?- Do you like the big head?- I love the big head.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- Can I touch the big head?- Softly.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Can I softly touch the big head?
0:07:07 > 0:07:09- Caress it.- What is he off?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12He's from an old fairground carnival, they would put it on...
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Oh, right, actually like a head, like a mask?
0:07:14 > 0:07:16- It's an actual head, yeah.- Wow!
0:07:16 > 0:07:17What sort of money is he? She?
0:07:17 > 0:07:21- 450.- 450? No, it's way out of our budget, sadly.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- Thanks anyway.- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26It looks like our teams have champagne taste, but a beer budget.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Look, do you remember these as a child?
0:07:28 > 0:07:30I used to have one of these as a child.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Do you remember these? Oh, wow!
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Oh, wow, this is awesome.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Look at him, it's the Lone Ranger!
0:07:36 > 0:07:38That's quite cool, actually.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Click it, and it goes through all the slides.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42How do these... How do these do?
0:07:42 > 0:07:43Oh, terribly. But isn't it fun!
0:07:45 > 0:07:49Talking of fun, our artistic Reds have been drawn to some intriguing
0:07:49 > 0:07:50pieces of sculpture.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52This is the artist, Ted Atkinson.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- Yeah.- How would you describe his work?
0:07:56 > 0:07:58It's abstract.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01These are very flat, but also quite 3-D-esque.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03This is really bulbous, kind of quite Henry Moore.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Yeah. They're also quite intimate in a quite, like, exaggerated way.
0:08:07 > 0:08:12- Yeah.- How of the four or five we have there, which one do you like?
0:08:12 > 0:08:14- I'm a sculpture girl.- Yeah, me too.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Hello, hello, hello.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18We were wondering how much this one was?
0:08:18 > 0:08:20- It's 120.- 120?- But you get the book.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22If we could do 100?
0:08:22 > 0:08:24It has to be 120, I'm sorry.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Is there any kind of, like, signature or any...?
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- Go on, handle it. - That's one where it's not signed.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32I'd feel very happy that it is his work.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35If you go through the drawings, you can see.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37- Yeah. I think we should do it. - I really like it.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39- Are we going to have it?- Would you not want that on your wall?
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Yes, I would have it on my wall.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43- I would have it on my wall. - Not that way!
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- Claire, would you have it on your wall?- Yes. I'd have it on my wall.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50OK, we're going to have it on our wall, for a little while.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52It would certainly be a talking point!
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- Thank you.- Thank you, sir.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59Well done. And a great piece of art for two artistes!
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- Yay!- Give it. Done.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Well done, Reds. Look lively, Blues.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08I quite like the look of this poster here.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Oh, that's awesome.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Yeah. London Theatre guide.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15November the 21st to November the 26th, 1966.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Is that the year we won the World Cup?
0:09:18 > 0:09:20It is. Yeah, it is. Absolutely.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24So I'm assuming that these would have been in,
0:09:24 > 0:09:26obviously, a clipboard that you would have seen
0:09:26 > 0:09:29what was going on at the various theatres that week.
0:09:29 > 0:09:30So you can say that, obviously, at...
0:09:30 > 0:09:33So at Queens in Shaftesbury Avenue, you had, you know,
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Jack Klugman and Victor Spinetti in The Odd Couple.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Oh, at The Palace, there was The Sound of Music!
0:09:40 > 0:09:42# The hills are alive! #
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- Come on, Tobias!- No, you don't want to hear me sing.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46- Really?- He's got a really lovely voice.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48- Has he?- Yeah.- Come on.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50So are these collectable, then?
0:09:50 > 0:09:51All right, change the subject!
0:09:51 > 0:09:53I was about to burst into song!
0:09:54 > 0:09:56I don't know whether they're collectable...
0:09:56 > 0:09:59I think posters, as a rule, are collectable.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01The typography I think is fantastic.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03And that wonderful skyline of London.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Yeah. What have you got them in for?
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Can do them 30 each, or the two for 55.
0:10:08 > 0:10:09Would you do 40 for the two?
0:10:09 > 0:10:11I can't, no. I can do 50 for the two.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13How about meet in the middle, 45?
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- Yeah. 45.- 45 for the two?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- Yeah.- Yeah? - Well, I think he's been kind.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21- I think we should. - Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Come on, let's go. One down!
0:10:23 > 0:10:24- Thank you so much.- Two to go!
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Thank you. Woohoo!
0:10:26 > 0:10:29So both teams have an item in the bag on the 15-minute mark.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33Now, there's something, I think, that you two will hone in on
0:10:33 > 0:10:35during the scan. I might be wrong.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Tell me if there's anything that you like.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- Ha-ha!- The frame.- Yes!
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- Oh, my.- This is boring.- Why would we want that?- It's boring!
0:10:45 > 0:10:47What do you mean, it's boring?
0:10:47 > 0:10:48How can you say that?
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Nobody buys magazines any more.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- Yes, they do. It's not all online. - Are you sure?
0:10:53 > 0:10:57- It's all on the internet. - Are you sure?
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Compared to their first buy, it's pretty tame, David!
0:11:00 > 0:11:04- It's not bold enough, it's not big and bold enough.- OK.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08I think you're going to have your work cut out with this pair.
0:11:08 > 0:11:13- What do you think of that map? Do you like it?- It's huge, it's big.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14I think that's quite cool.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17I like it, but I'm a bit worried that it would be quite selective.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20You'd need a big wall to put such a big map on.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Well, yes, you would, but it means you wouldn't have to get wallpaper!
0:11:23 > 0:11:25That's true.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Do we like it? I can't feel the love, Tobias.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- I don't know. how are you feeling about the map?- I don't mind.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- I'm indifferent.- You're indifferent, let's move on, then.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35Let's move on, move on.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38I feel our teams are really after weird and wacky.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40A bit like this.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Tobias, we lost you then. What have you found?
0:11:45 > 0:11:46I'm not quite sure, actually.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49It looks like a sort of mannequin head
0:11:49 > 0:11:52but it's very retro. It's very much my element.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54So it's a polystyrene head.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Sort of reminds me a bit of Andy Warhol,
0:11:57 > 0:12:00with sort of a sleeve with a lady's face.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02So I guess you'd have a wig on there.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05So it'll be for hats or...?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- Yeah.- I think because I've never seen one of these before,
0:12:07 > 0:12:10I don't know, it just, it warms me.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11It warms you?!
0:12:11 > 0:12:13It warms you!
0:12:13 > 0:12:15- Hmm, OK.- Right, OK.
0:12:15 > 0:12:16Well, I'm glad you like it.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18It's got £40 on it.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21I mean, at auction I'd advise you £10 or £20.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- This...head.- Head.
0:12:23 > 0:12:24Head, yes, head.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- Where has it come from? - I actually bought it in Paris.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29- Right.- But a lot of people think
0:12:29 > 0:12:33it could be something to do with Mary Quant, because it's that era.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- It's sort of '60s, '70s.- Yes. I mean, that's very Twiggy, isn't it?
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- Yes.- Would it have been a sort of advertising, a shop display?
0:12:39 > 0:12:40I think so, yes. Hats or wigs, yes.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Put a wig on it, or something like that.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Because in the '60s, wigs were really quite popular, weren't they?
0:12:45 > 0:12:47- Yes.- You've got £40 on it.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49We're looking at possibly £20.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51I can't do 20. I could do 30.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Could you meet us in the middle at 25?
0:12:53 > 0:12:55OK, 25.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- Yay! Excellent!- Thank you so much.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01I want to keep it, but as you love it, I'll pass on the love.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- Is this a sad day food you? - It is a sad day for me.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Does she have a name?
0:13:06 > 0:13:07- No.- You don't like her that much!
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Christina always tells her teams to buy with their heads.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Maybe Tobias and Tuoi are taking her too literally.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17What have the Reds found?
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- Bring him back.- Oh, it goes in half. - Bring him back.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- What do you mean, it goes in half? - It goes in half!- Oh!
0:13:23 > 0:13:25- Oh, well. Oh!- Ooh!
0:13:25 > 0:13:27He's a desk paper knife.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29- Ah, a paper knife.- Letter opener.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31- Letter opener. - I would like it on my desk.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34It would be very theatrical when you get a letter
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- to, kind of, get your fish and go... - Yes.- ..open up the letter.
0:13:37 > 0:13:38It would be, wouldn't it?
0:13:38 > 0:13:39Very cool.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44And so designed for function, but also for beauty.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47So to sit on a gentleman's desk, I would guess.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49- Or a gentle lady's. - Yeah, but it's more...
0:13:49 > 0:13:52I've got to say, I'm sorry, but it's more of a man's thing.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54It's a mantique, isn't it?
0:13:54 > 0:13:56- A mantique?- I'm sorry, girls.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58It's just a base metal, a basic metal.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Nice decoration. Needs a bit of a clean.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- Yeah.- But, you know, it's an interior design thing, isn't it?
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- Yeah.- Yes. I know he's got 25 on that.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11I think he'd be prepared to go to 20.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13- OK.- Is that any good to you?
0:14:13 > 0:14:17- Well, I don't know.- What are your thoughts on where it's from, age?
0:14:17 > 0:14:21I think it's probably Indian, to be honest with you, or Middle Eastern.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Certainly of that sort of description.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27I think it would have probably been made as a tourist piece.
0:14:27 > 0:14:28Maybe to bring home.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30But it is a very decorative thing, isn't it?
0:14:30 > 0:14:33It would look fantastic on a desk, sitting like that.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35- Yeah.- And I think, you know,
0:14:35 > 0:14:38men often like to have a good sort of object on their desk, don't they?
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- Yes.- Sort of a little macho piece.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43- Yes.- Don't you think, David?
0:14:43 > 0:14:46I do think! I do, it's a mantique, that's what it is!
0:14:46 > 0:14:48- A mantique.- How about if we did 15?
0:14:48 > 0:14:52- I'm into it, massively.- I like it. Sounds like a bargain to me.
0:14:52 > 0:14:53- Are we happy?- We're happy.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Yes, please. We're going to have him. Thank you very much.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- Not at all.- Thank you.- No problem.
0:14:58 > 0:14:59Brilliant, thank you.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Well done, Reds, you were angling after a discount and you got it!
0:15:02 > 0:15:05That means both the Reds and Blues have netted two items
0:15:05 > 0:15:07with 30 minutes left on the clock.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10While they search for their final buy,
0:15:10 > 0:15:14I'm going in search of a unique art collection on the market's doorstep.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27The East End of London is home to an open-air gallery
0:15:27 > 0:15:29of world renowned street art.
0:15:31 > 0:15:38There is no entry fee, and it's open to the public 24/7, 365 days a year.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43The street art scene has been growing in London since the 1980s
0:15:43 > 0:15:47but what began as graffiti is now so much more.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Dave Stewart has been conducting tours
0:15:51 > 0:15:53of this street art hotspot for 13 years
0:15:53 > 0:15:56and is going to show me some of his favourite exhibits.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01Right, we've come here cos there's just so much exciting art to see.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04If you look over there, right,
0:16:04 > 0:16:08the first thing we see is that pink car in a plastic box.
0:16:08 > 0:16:13Now, that was put there in about 2004, 2005, by Banksy.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15The street art legend.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19Originally there was, in the driver's door window,
0:16:19 > 0:16:22a skeleton driving the car.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- OK.- So the driver of the car was like death
0:16:25 > 0:16:27and the car was this weapon.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29And what about this pink monster in the corner?
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Well, that pink monster is by an artist called Ronzo.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33And you see it has a gold coin
0:16:33 > 0:16:36which it's chomping away at with its big teeth.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38I see it now, yes.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Basically, he was accusing all the bankers and the traders
0:16:41 > 0:16:43and the economists of causing the credit crunch.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47So that is Crunchy, the credit crunch monster!
0:16:47 > 0:16:48Yeah.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Like any artistic movement,
0:16:51 > 0:16:54people have very different views on street art's cultural value.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59It's been going through a transition of acceptance, you know.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Eight, nine, ten years ago,
0:17:01 > 0:17:05very few people thought this was anything other than vandalism.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Now there's growing tolerance.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11There's a whole culture, like a marketplace, if you like,
0:17:11 > 0:17:13of exhibitions.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15And we now see works by some of the top street artists,
0:17:15 > 0:17:18people like Shepard Fairey and D*Face and Banksy
0:17:18 > 0:17:21being regularly sold at the big auction houses
0:17:21 > 0:17:24at their urban art auctions.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28Pieces have sold for hundreds of thousands of pounds.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30But Dave believes the best street art
0:17:30 > 0:17:32is what's on display all around us.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Right, we're going to find a lovely piece of art
0:17:35 > 0:17:38by an Irish artist, Conor Harrington.
0:17:38 > 0:17:43- Oh, cool!- Very kind of masculine subject, lush colours.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Lots and lots of drips pouring down there as well,
0:17:46 > 0:17:49very, sort of, dramatic, sort of, urban aesthetic.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52So how long would it have taken to execute a work of this scale?
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Well, he'd have taken about two, maybe three, days to do that.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59This artist had permission, but many others don't.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Either way, the volume of work on display is vast.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06I don't think I would have taken this one
0:18:06 > 0:18:08for street art, but obviously it is.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12Ah, absolutely. Beautiful sticker by a street artist called INSA.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16And its curious property is that it's kind of changing colour,
0:18:16 > 0:18:17it's iridescent.
0:18:17 > 0:18:18We call them petrol stickers.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22And on a day like today when we've got sunshine shining on it,
0:18:22 > 0:18:23it just looks stunning.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25It really is quite beautiful.
0:18:27 > 0:18:28This unique community gallery
0:18:28 > 0:18:31attracts visitors from all over the world
0:18:31 > 0:18:34who come to see an eclectic range of work which is constantly evolving.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37This has been absolutely fascinating.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40We're surrounded, obviously, by art, big and small.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42And I couldn't be more grateful for the tour.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Thank you so very much.
0:18:44 > 0:18:45A pleasure, thank you so much.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48But, for us, it's time to head back to Spitalfields market.
0:18:56 > 0:18:57We left our Reds and Blues
0:18:57 > 0:19:01looking around for their final items and with just 25 minutes left,
0:19:01 > 0:19:03where have they got to?
0:19:05 > 0:19:06The teapot, yeah.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08With the black pattern.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10OK, that's on the other side.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- Do you want to go and have a look at that?- Yes.- OK, go around then.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- It's not exciting enough. - No, you've gone off it already?
0:19:20 > 0:19:22You two, honestly!
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Timewise, I'm feeling very relaxed because, you know,
0:19:27 > 0:19:29once they get into something,
0:19:29 > 0:19:31actually it's great because they don't muck about.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34They like it, they can afford it, they nail it.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36So the Reds are going with their hearts,
0:19:36 > 0:19:38while the Blues only seem to want heads!
0:19:38 > 0:19:39No more heads!
0:19:41 > 0:19:42You've broken me once!
0:19:42 > 0:19:44It's cute!
0:19:44 > 0:19:45Really?
0:19:45 > 0:19:47- No.- Really?- Put it down.
0:19:47 > 0:19:48Sorry.
0:19:48 > 0:19:49You've been told, Tobias!
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Oh, my gosh.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55- I think you are in love.- That is...
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Yeah. That is...
0:19:57 > 0:19:58- Are you both in love?- Yes.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01- Sir, is this your stand?- Yeah.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04- Can I try on one of the hats? - Yeah, sure.- Can I try on the...
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Hang on, this isn't a fashion parade!
0:20:06 > 0:20:08- David, do you want a hat? - Yeah, go on, then.
0:20:08 > 0:20:09Can I try a hat on, as well?
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Thank you. I like your hat.
0:20:11 > 0:20:12Thank you. Everyone says that
0:20:12 > 0:20:14but I'm not going to sell my own hat!
0:20:14 > 0:20:16You're not going to sell your own hat?
0:20:16 > 0:20:18You see, I've got quite a big head.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22I mean, a lot of people have said that about me.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23I'm sure they love you, really.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Tell me about it, girls.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28So it's made from
0:20:28 > 0:20:30old industrial oil containers.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32OK. Does it have the look of love?
0:20:32 > 0:20:35- Yes.- Yes.- Do you both love it?
0:20:35 > 0:20:37- I love it.- Yeah, I do. - What's it worth?
0:20:39 > 0:20:41It's £55.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43Says the ticket.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46What sort of money can we buy it for?
0:20:46 > 0:20:50The best I can do it for...is 45.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- Can you save it for us? - Yeah, OK.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- That would be amazing. - OK. Come on, you two.- OK.
0:20:56 > 0:20:57OK, something for the back burner.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Just remember, time's flying by.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Just 15 minutes to go.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Where have the Blues got to?
0:21:03 > 0:21:05I quite like the look of this trunk.
0:21:05 > 0:21:10- It's lovely.- OK, so this, kind of, metal example here?
0:21:11 > 0:21:12What have we got here?
0:21:12 > 0:21:14OK. I...
0:21:15 > 0:21:18..don't... I think this has been stripped.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Massively, massively stripped. Because the paintwork,
0:21:21 > 0:21:23that looks kind of original,
0:21:23 > 0:21:26but this looks a little bit forced to me, on the top.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29So someone's, basically, sanded it down back to the metal.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Yeah. Which I think is quite cool.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- Do you want to ask how much the trunk is?- Yeah?- OK.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35If it's cheap, then go for it.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38OK. If it's not cheap, Tuoi, you're in charge.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Hi, Tuoi, lovely to meet you.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44I'm just wondering what you got on the box, the trunk over there?
0:21:44 > 0:21:46I've got 75 on that.
0:21:46 > 0:21:47What's the best you can sort of do on that?
0:21:47 > 0:21:48I can knock another tenner off.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- OK.- 65.- I'm going to go have a chat with my team, and I'll let you know.
0:21:51 > 0:21:52- OK.- Thank you.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Thank you, have a nice day.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55Is she good at haggling?
0:21:55 > 0:21:57- So...- We'll find out!
0:21:59 > 0:22:01The best he can do
0:22:01 > 0:22:03is 65 on that.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Well, as Tobias has left the store, I assume that's a no, Tuoi.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Tidying away. She's just tidying away, Tobias!
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Well, we don't want to leave a mess, do we?
0:22:11 > 0:22:12Back to the Reds.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Can you appreciate the decoration?
0:22:17 > 0:22:20And the effort that's gone into producing it?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Yeah. So it's a decorative plate,
0:22:22 > 0:22:25something that's been made for decoration,
0:22:25 > 0:22:28not necessarily to be used for eating.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Decorated on the back as well.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Chinese, 18th or early 19th century.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36It's painted in enamel.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38- Do you like it?- I do, actually.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40What do you think it's worth?
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- 100?- You think it's worth 100? I bet you...
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Do you think it's worth 100?
0:22:46 > 0:22:48- Yeah.- I bet you any amount of money,
0:22:48 > 0:22:52even though its Chinese and the Chinese market has gone crazy,
0:22:52 > 0:22:55as nice as it is, it's worth 10% of that.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58- Really? - Might be worth ten, 20, 30 quid.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00In auction, it'll make a bit more.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03- Ask the chap how much it is. - How much is it?
0:23:03 > 0:23:05It's only £20.
0:23:05 > 0:23:06It's 20 quid!
0:23:06 > 0:23:09It's absolutely bonkers.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10It's pretty bonkers, yeah.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15I think,... I couldn't make this, Claire.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17- You couldn't make it, no. - But I could make heart.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19OK.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21This is the time and the workmanship taken into it.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24- Yeah.- It should be more than £20.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28- Are we going to have it? - Yes, please.- I think so.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30- Fantastic.- Please may we have it? - You can have it, yes.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Thank you very much, sir. Thank you. Thank you very much indeed.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Let's hope the bidders appreciate it as much as you.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39That's your shop done and dusted with ten minutes left.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41What have the Blues found on their travels?
0:23:41 > 0:23:44- Wow, look at this! - What are you looking at, guys?
0:23:44 > 0:23:48- I think we like this thing, here. - Oh, that's quite cool, isn't it?
0:23:48 > 0:23:49What is it?
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Well done, Tobias.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54So, we've got some sort of Perspex...
0:23:55 > 0:23:58..sign, which I can only assume, you've got this ridge here,
0:23:58 > 0:24:00would have inset into something.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02- Yeah.- Maybe had a light, or something to light it up.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06But it would have been within something larger, originally.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08I mean, that's the Underground sign, isn't it?
0:24:08 > 0:24:12- Yeah.- I mean, it's such an iconic logo, isn't it?
0:24:12 > 0:24:14- Yeah, definitely.- I think it's beautiful, it's really nice.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17But this is getting better in my estimate, this is not a head!
0:24:18 > 0:24:20- Yeah!- So that's a bonus!
0:24:21 > 0:24:23How much do you have on your...?
0:24:23 > 0:24:24It's 50 on that one.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27- 50!- Yeah.- 50?
0:24:27 > 0:24:29- Yes, 50!- Tobias?
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Yeah, I think it's fine. I'm not sure it's £50, guys.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35No, that's a shame.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37That's not actually mine, so I can give him a call and see.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39How much do you think it would go for?
0:24:39 > 0:24:42I think it's £20 or £30, guys.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Yeah. I mean, if you could give them a call, that would be amazing.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48Oh, the suspense! And we've only got minutes to go!
0:24:48 > 0:24:51He said he can do that for 30.
0:24:51 > 0:24:52I do really like it.
0:24:53 > 0:24:54I don't know, it's a tough one.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Just because there's so much damage to it.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Which obviously shows that it is old
0:24:58 > 0:25:00but then, at the same time, it's like, I don't know.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Are you sure 25 wouldn't seal the deal?
0:25:03 > 0:25:06He said 30 was his bottom, so he's knocked off quite a bit.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Rules are made to be broken, aren't they?
0:25:08 > 0:25:11- 25?- Yeah!- No, I'd get killed.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14OK, well, we don't want any murders.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16So, 30, shake the man's hand.
0:25:16 > 0:25:17Right, I'm sorry, thank you.
0:25:17 > 0:25:18Thank you very much.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20£30, brilliant.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Believe it or not, teams, your 60 minutes are up.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27The third item. Yay!
0:25:28 > 0:25:30I am actually broken.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33My limbs hurt.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39The sculpture, thought to be by Ted Atkinson,
0:25:39 > 0:25:42plus a book of his etchings, were £120.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45They fell hook, line and sinker for the letter opener
0:25:45 > 0:25:47in the shape of a fish. £15 paid.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51David was gobsmacked that the Chinese dish was only £20.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Will it serve up plenty of profit?
0:25:53 > 0:25:57So, one Bargain Hunt hour later, still best friends?
0:25:57 > 0:25:59- Yes.- Yeah.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Well done, you two. Claire, tell me, of the three items that you bought,
0:26:02 > 0:26:04which is your favourite?
0:26:04 > 0:26:06I think it would have to be our first one,
0:26:06 > 0:26:07which was the bum sculpture.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Oh! Beautiful bottom.
0:26:09 > 0:26:10- That's right.- A red bum.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12And what do you think's going to bring the biggest profit?
0:26:12 > 0:26:15I'm going to go for the fish, the fish letter opener, I think, yeah.
0:26:15 > 0:26:16Big fish market out there?
0:26:16 > 0:26:17Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Alice, are you in agreement with your pal?
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Yes, I actually am.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24I was going to try and be a bit, like, mix it up.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28No, I really enjoy, you know, I'm a sculptor myself, so that pleases me.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31You've got a crazy collection, it's brilliant.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33And it only cost you £155 in total.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35It did. So, who's got 145?
0:26:35 > 0:26:38There we go. Thank you very much.
0:26:38 > 0:26:43David, £145, in Spitalfields market, what are you going to do?
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Well, you know what? There's only one thing I can do.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48I've got to stay on this art theme.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52I'm going to buy you something arty and sculptural.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55So as David gets his artisan's hat on,
0:26:55 > 0:26:58let's remind ourselves what the Blue team bought.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01They thought the vintage theatre posters were just the ticket.
0:27:01 > 0:27:02£45 a pair.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05The polystyrene mannequin was £25,
0:27:05 > 0:27:08but will it turn heads at the auction?
0:27:08 > 0:27:10And they had to rush at the end of their hour
0:27:10 > 0:27:13to buy the London Transport sign. £30 paid.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17Well, Tobias, Tuoi, all I can really say is, you got there in the end!
0:27:18 > 0:27:19Right down to the wire.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22They did, but I need to go and lie down in a very dark room.
0:27:22 > 0:27:23We're so sorry!
0:27:25 > 0:27:27No, that was a cool shop, you brought some pretty quirky stuff.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Tobias, which is your favourite of the three?
0:27:29 > 0:27:32My favourite, which, sadly, I don't think is everyone else's favourite,
0:27:32 > 0:27:35has got to be the head, the polystyrene retro head.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37How did I know you were going to say that?
0:27:37 > 0:27:40And you girls are just thinking, what on earth?
0:27:40 > 0:27:42- What?- Yeah, yeah.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44It'd be one of those that'll make the most money!
0:27:44 > 0:27:46That was my next question, actually.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Do you think it will bring the biggest profit, Tobias?
0:27:48 > 0:27:52No. Sadly, I think probably the posters will bring the most profit.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55So, Tuoi, tell me, what was your personal favourite item?
0:27:55 > 0:27:56I think the posters.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58- The posters?- Yeah, they stole my heart, I think.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00And for a good price, too.
0:28:00 > 0:28:01And talking of money,
0:28:01 > 0:28:03I would like that £200 back from you then.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05We'll give it to Christina now. There you are.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07What are you thinking of spending it on?
0:28:07 > 0:28:09I mean, seriously, they broke me.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11So I'm literally just going to throw it down the drain,
0:28:11 > 0:28:12just throw them away!
0:28:12 > 0:28:14No, they hate traditional antiques,
0:28:14 > 0:28:16so I think I might go very, very traditional. Who knows?
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Well, fantastic.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22As Christina goes wild in the aisles and throws caution to the wind,
0:28:22 > 0:28:26it's time for us to head to the auction to see how it all pans out.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28We've left the East End of London and come west
0:28:28 > 0:28:31to Special Auction Services in Berkshire.
0:28:34 > 0:28:35With Thomas Plant.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Thomas, thank you for having us along once again.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40- Absolute pleasure.- Let's start off with the Red team,
0:28:40 > 0:28:43we're going to start off with friends Claire and Alice.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45They chose this together.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49Is it by Ted Atkinson, a known British sculptor and artist?
0:28:49 > 0:28:51So, with the sculpture,
0:28:51 > 0:28:55there is no documentation to back up the fact that it is by Ted Atkinson,
0:28:55 > 0:28:57so how do you go about cataloguing it?
0:28:57 > 0:29:01We said a fibreglass sculpture, with a Ted Atkinson book,
0:29:01 > 0:29:03if they want to put the two together, they can.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05They have to make up their own minds.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07So, bearing in mind that it's without attribution,
0:29:07 > 0:29:08what would you say?
0:29:08 > 0:29:11Well, I quite like it, £40-£60.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15They paid £120 for the book and sculpture.
0:29:15 > 0:29:16Right, OK.
0:29:16 > 0:29:20Well, if it was signed and there was provenance,
0:29:20 > 0:29:22I'd go with it, but we've got to be so careful these days.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25OK, let's move onto something totally different.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27A Middle Eastern letter opener.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29It's very stylish, actually, isn't it?
0:29:29 > 0:29:30When you look from a distance,
0:29:30 > 0:29:32it is really stylish, just don't get too close.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34- What happens then? - Well, you get slightly disappointed.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36But it is a paper knife,
0:29:36 > 0:29:38you wouldn't want to fillet a fish with it.
0:29:38 > 0:29:39So, what do you think it's worth?
0:29:39 > 0:29:42- £10-£20.- Well, that's all right, because the girls only paid 15.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45- Brilliant.- But, here we have, all of a sudden,
0:29:45 > 0:29:46a little bit of famille rose.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50It's cracked, it is famille rose, it's got a bit of age, 19th century,
0:29:50 > 0:29:52a bit of pheasant design on it.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55Yeah, it is what it is, and it's £30-£50.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57OK, but they only paid £20 for it.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Well, I think they're in for a profit on that one.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Ah! Well, you heard what the auctioneer said,
0:30:02 > 0:30:03he thinks they're in for a profit.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05But just in case they need it,
0:30:05 > 0:30:07let's find out what David bought as a bonus buy.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11What have you bought for the ladies now?
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Something completely different. I had to get back on track.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17Oh! I thought your hand was part of it!
0:30:17 > 0:30:18Did you?!
0:30:18 > 0:30:21- It is, it's stuffed. - The hand's just there.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23- It's really scary. - It's beautiful.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25- That is cool.- Can I touch it?
0:30:25 > 0:30:30Please, take it. A lovely shape, triangular shape, which kind of...
0:30:30 > 0:30:34I don't know whether I want to go with it being '50s or '70s,
0:30:34 > 0:30:35I'm not sure.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38- It's wild. - I don't know if "wild" is...
0:30:38 > 0:30:41- Charming! - I don't know if it is wild.
0:30:41 > 0:30:42What is it, if it's not wild?!
0:30:42 > 0:30:44I think it's really interesting.
0:30:44 > 0:30:45It's a really interesting shape.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48- How much did you pay for it? - What a very good question.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51- 15.- What?!- £15.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53OK, that is a bargain.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55That is wild, is it not wild?!
0:30:55 > 0:30:56I'll take it back, it's wild.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58- Thank you.- Good, I'm very impressed.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Well, the Reds are impressed,
0:31:00 > 0:31:02but let's find out if Thomas the auctioneer
0:31:02 > 0:31:03is wild about David's dish.
0:31:05 > 0:31:06So here's David's bonus buy.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09You know, wax lyrical about this piece, because I bet you can,
0:31:09 > 0:31:10you love glass.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13It's very biomorphic, it's got that, sort of,
0:31:13 > 0:31:15very tactile feeling to it.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18I don't think it's the oldest thing to walk this Earth,
0:31:18 > 0:31:19I think it's quite modern.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21- That's OK.- It's a '90s bit of glass.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24I love the sunken centre.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27- But what do you reckon it's going to make at the auction?- Oh, £20-£30.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31Brilliant, David will be chuffed, because he only paid £15.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34- Well done, David.- So let's move on to our Blue team, lovely couple,
0:31:34 > 0:31:36Tobias and Tuoi.
0:31:36 > 0:31:40We start off with our theatre guides, a wee bit tatty,
0:31:40 > 0:31:41but are they salvageable?
0:31:41 > 0:31:42No.
0:31:42 > 0:31:451964, these are poster bills, theatre guides,
0:31:45 > 0:31:49they'd be up in London Underground, bus stations, you know,
0:31:49 > 0:31:50they were used.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54That's part of the charm, part of the social history to them.
0:31:54 > 0:31:55They are £20-£30, all day long.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59They paid £45 and, hopefully, they'll make a profit.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01I doubt it, but let's hope.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Now, let's move on to this polystyrene,
0:32:04 > 0:32:06sort of, wig stand, hat stand.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09What it is, is, it's of an era.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13From the point of view of a bit of social history, again, I get it.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15It's £20-£30, our auction estimate.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18OK. Tobias led them to this one, they paid 25.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20- Well...- So, there's hope there.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22- There is hope there. - Yeah, and sticking with, sort of,
0:32:22 > 0:32:26London in the mid-20th century, towards the end of the 20th century,
0:32:26 > 0:32:29here's this cool vintage London Transport sign.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31Out of all the London Transport things they could buy,
0:32:31 > 0:32:34they chose one which was, sort of, flaking and scratched...
0:32:34 > 0:32:37It shows that it's got dignity,
0:32:37 > 0:32:41that it's been chipped off the door from the London Underground.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45But then again, it's logo, it's social history again,
0:32:45 > 0:32:49you've got that style.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51OK, so it's got London cool attached to it,
0:32:51 > 0:32:53what kind of price are you attaching to it?
0:32:53 > 0:32:54£10-£20.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57OK, well, hopefully, you're not too accurate,
0:32:57 > 0:32:58because they paid £30 for it.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00- OK. - Well, unless they are really lucky,
0:33:00 > 0:33:02they are going to need their bonus buy,
0:33:02 > 0:33:04so let's find out what Christina bought for the Blues.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08You left Christina £200, what did you do with it?
0:33:08 > 0:33:09Ready?
0:33:12 > 0:33:13- Whoa!- It's beautifully hideous!
0:33:13 > 0:33:17- You broke me! - You came to the dark side.
0:33:17 > 0:33:18Look what I bought!
0:33:20 > 0:33:22It certainly goes with the theme, come on.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25I saw this, and I thought, this has got you guys written all over it.
0:33:25 > 0:33:26And it looked amazing.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28So the base lights up, because it's got a bulb in the base.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30- Wow!- And not only does the base light up,
0:33:30 > 0:33:32the shade, obviously, lights up as well.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34So, it's very cool, it's very funky,
0:33:34 > 0:33:38it's very late 1960s, early 1970s.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40Personally, I think it's hideous.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43- But I know that you'll love it. - But was it expensive?
0:33:43 > 0:33:45- Yes.- How much are we talking?
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Normally, I'm frugal.
0:33:47 > 0:33:48Normally I'm very frugal.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51And I can't quite believe, but I spent £200 on this.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54- Really?- Yeah.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56The Blues, sort of, seem sold
0:33:56 > 0:33:59and I don't even really know if Christina's sold herself.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02- No.- So, let's see if Thomas thinks that he can sell the lamp
0:34:02 > 0:34:04to his buyers.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06Well, Thomas, what do you think
0:34:06 > 0:34:08of Christina's very large standard lamp,
0:34:08 > 0:34:11with this amazing, sort of, rocket-shaped shade
0:34:11 > 0:34:13that's about to take off?
0:34:13 > 0:34:17- It is, isn't it?- It's straight out of 1970s Britain.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19This is glass.
0:34:19 > 0:34:23- I know, it's so cool. - It is a beautifully made thing.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25However, is it to everybody's taste?
0:34:25 > 0:34:27What do you reckon this is worth?
0:34:27 > 0:34:28Well, 30-50.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32Christina is going to love you, because she spent £200.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35- No!- She did! - I mean, lighting is popular.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38Well, a cool light never goes out of fashion.

0:39:22 > 0:39:25- I don't think he's got it. - Yeah, I don't think he's got five.
0:39:25 > 0:39:26- Do I get to keep it? - 5, I've got online.

0:39:34 > 0:39:36Right, so we are currently -53.

0:40:06 > 0:40:09Ah, "boo" from Tuoi!
0:40:09 > 0:40:13Minus two. So, overall, you've lost £55, OK?
0:40:13 > 0:40:15My next question is an important one.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17Are you going to go with the standard lamp?
0:40:17 > 0:40:18Yeah, yes, please.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20You're going to go with it? Yeah.
0:40:20 > 0:40:24- No...- You're going for it, here it comes.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28424, a 1970s glass standard lamp of tapered design
0:40:28 > 0:40:31with rocket-shaped shade.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34Start with me here at, start me at £30.
0:40:34 > 0:40:35Yes!
0:40:36 > 0:40:38Is there £30, at 30?
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Surely it's got to be worth £30.
0:40:40 > 0:40:4120, then.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46£20, at £20, at 20 it is.
0:40:46 > 0:40:4922, 25, 28...
0:40:49 > 0:40:51- It's climbing.- We should turn it on.
0:40:51 > 0:40:5440, 5, 50.
0:40:54 > 0:40:5550, I have.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57Upper end of my estimate at £50.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59All done then at £50.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02We're not going home millionaires.
0:41:02 > 0:41:07£50 paid means that there is a loss of 150 on the bonus buy alone.
0:41:07 > 0:41:11- Yeah. - But, overall, you have lost £205.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14- Yes!- I'm...proud.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16I tell you what, if you're going to be proud of anything,
0:41:16 > 0:41:19be proud of the loss you made on Bargain Hunt.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22- You know, why not?- We can't go home and tell anybody!
0:41:22 > 0:41:24We've told too any people, yeah?
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Well, clearly neither team got the memo about Bargain Hunt
0:41:32 > 0:41:34focusing on profits at auction,
0:41:34 > 0:41:35because my pockets are completely empty,
0:41:35 > 0:41:38and I have got no money to give anyone,
0:41:38 > 0:41:39which means it's anyone's game.
0:41:39 > 0:41:43It's just a case of who lost more.
0:41:43 > 0:41:47Our biggest losers today, or, shall we say, our runners-up?
0:41:48 > 0:41:49- Are the Blues!- Oh!
0:41:51 > 0:41:52What?
0:41:52 > 0:41:55THEY ALL LAUGH AND CHEER
0:41:57 > 0:41:59Oh, that was fun!
0:42:00 > 0:42:02What's going on?!
0:42:02 > 0:42:05- Christina?- No, don't you dare.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09There's a line there for a reason!
0:42:09 > 0:42:13It means that, by proxy, our winners today are the Reds, which is...
0:42:13 > 0:42:15I can't believe it! That's so weird.
0:42:15 > 0:42:16Let's head to the Blues first,
0:42:16 > 0:42:18because you had a great time, didn't you?
0:42:18 > 0:42:20- Yes.- We did, yes. - Ah, I'm so pleased.
0:42:20 > 0:42:21And you stand by your items?
0:42:21 > 0:42:23- Yes.- We stand by them, they were our personal taste.
0:42:23 > 0:42:24I'm not sure who had the bad taste,
0:42:24 > 0:42:26whether it was the auction room, or if it was us.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28Ah, but well done, nonetheless.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30I personally loved having you on, so it was great.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33So let's head to our victors, then. I bet you weren't expecting that?
0:42:33 > 0:42:35No! I'm so shocked.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38Because you only lost £67.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40- Not bad.- Not too bad!- It's so good.
0:42:40 > 0:42:41You guys are all living in
0:42:41 > 0:42:43the most expensive city in the world, probably,
0:42:43 > 0:42:47so how you're getting by I'm not sure, but I wish you luck with that.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49You know, if you're sitting at home thinking,
