0:00:04 > 0:00:07Hello, I'm at Wetherby in Yorkshire,
0:00:07 > 0:00:08and I'm about to gallop off
0:00:08 > 0:00:11to the antiques fair at Wetherby Racecourse,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15but will it be the Reds or the Blues who are first past the post today?
0:00:15 > 0:00:17And, they're off!
0:00:17 > 0:00:19Not too fast...
0:00:19 > 0:00:21Let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Well, I held on for dear life and made it to the racecourse,
0:00:48 > 0:00:51where there are stalls selling antiques and collectables
0:00:51 > 0:00:53inside and out.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54And you know what our teams have got to do.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56They have £300 and just one hour
0:00:56 > 0:01:00in which to find three items to take off to auction,
0:01:00 > 0:01:02and make a profit.
0:01:02 > 0:01:07Now, let's look ahead and study the form of our Reds and Blues.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Done it! You've done it!
0:01:11 > 0:01:13I don't know what happened there!
0:01:16 > 0:01:17Retake!
0:01:20 > 0:01:22When we finish, you can come back and buy it, OK?
0:01:22 > 0:01:23OK, yeah, OK.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26- Who's in charge all the time? - I know, I know.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30And we're odds-on for a cracking auction with our Reds.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32SHE SQUEALS
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Or will it be the Blues who romp home?
0:01:34 > 0:01:35Oh, I see. Are you confident?
0:01:35 > 0:01:37- Oh, confident.- Are you?
0:01:37 > 0:01:39- Very confident.- Absolutely.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41That's all for later. Now, let's meet today's teams.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45And for the Red team, we have Susan and her son, Ryan.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48And for the Blue team we have good friends, Chris and Alan.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50- Hello! ALL:- Hello!
0:01:50 > 0:01:54Now, Susan and Ryan, who chose who to come on Bargain Hunt?
0:01:54 > 0:01:56I asked him when we were watching Bargain Hunt one day.
0:01:56 > 0:01:57I said, "I'd love to go on there."
0:01:57 > 0:01:59- And he said, "I'll come on with you, Mum."- Well done.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03- It's been on your bucket list for some time, hasn't it? - It has, it certainly has, yes.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05So, Ryan, what's your antique knowledge like?
0:02:05 > 0:02:06Very, very little.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08All I know about antiques is they're old!
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Well, that's half the battle!
0:02:11 > 0:02:12I do like old cars though.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14I have a 1983 Land Rover.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18I can't wait to insure it, but I'll have to be 25 before I can do that!
0:02:18 > 0:02:19- Oh, really?- Yeah.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21So you've got five years to wait, have you?
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- A long time!- Never mind, plenty of time to save up!
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Now, Susan, you're the team expert when it comes to antiques?
0:02:27 > 0:02:28No!
0:02:28 > 0:02:29No.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33- No. I like charity shops and car-boot sales.- Yeah.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35And I just think I know all about antiques.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Do you? That's good.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39What do you do for a living, Susan?
0:02:39 > 0:02:40I look after children
0:02:40 > 0:02:44who are visiting their parent or relative in prison,
0:02:44 > 0:02:47to make their visit more comfortable.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50I do lots of craft with them and games
0:02:50 > 0:02:52and just have a good time.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- As best we can. - Yeah, but it must be challenging.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- It's very challenging.- Now, Ryan, you like working with animals,
0:02:58 > 0:03:00- don't you? - I love working with animals.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03I spent a long time re-homing them, which I loved,
0:03:03 > 0:03:05following their progress,
0:03:05 > 0:03:07getting their confidence back in people again and stuff like that.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Yeah, yeah.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Hopefully, I want to start my own dog-walking business in the future.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- Do you?- Yeah.- Now, what about tactics, you two?
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Well, I'm going to buy an item.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17- Yep.- I'm going to buy an item.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19- Yep.- And then we're going to have a joint item!
0:03:19 > 0:03:21And that's our Red team, Susan and Ryan.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25And now, for good friends Chris and Alan, our Blue team.
0:03:25 > 0:03:26- Hello, chaps.- Hi.- Hello, there!
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Are you full of confidence?
0:03:28 > 0:03:30- Indeed I am.- Absolutely, yes.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34- How long have you known each other? - We've known each other 30 years.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38- 30 years?- And 30 years ago I became the Methodist church minister
0:03:38 > 0:03:41in a town just south of Durham city,
0:03:41 > 0:03:47and this man here was the leader of the local council.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- So, our paths crossed.- So, are you still working in the church?
0:03:50 > 0:03:53I do the occasional services,
0:03:53 > 0:04:00and my main love these days is the company at the gym.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Three times a week, trying to keep fit,
0:04:03 > 0:04:07and I meet all sorts of people from all parts of the world.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09It really does me good.
0:04:09 > 0:04:10Rowing machines?
0:04:10 > 0:04:12- Indeed.- Good Lord!
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- 30 minutes.- Chris, you're still very active, aren't you?
0:04:15 > 0:04:16- Do all sorts of things.- Yes, indeed.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18I write books.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20I do a one-man show called The Genius of Charles Dickens.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23We've played it successfully at the Edinburgh Festival
0:04:23 > 0:04:24for the past three years.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Wonderful, who's your favourite Dickens character?
0:04:26 > 0:04:30Well, I would say Fagin, because he's so evil!
0:04:30 > 0:04:33- You've got to pick a pocket or two! - Absolutely.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Now, Alan, you've found out something about Chris
0:04:35 > 0:04:37you didn't know quite recently, didn't you?
0:04:37 > 0:04:40I knew not only that we were born three days apart,
0:04:40 > 0:04:47but that he had three younger sisters, one of whom is very famous!
0:04:47 > 0:04:48Tell me more, Chris?
0:04:48 > 0:04:54The famous one is Victoria Wood, who sadly died last year aged only 62.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58And, me and my first two sisters all had a fair amount of talent.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00But the story is that Mum and Dad kept trying
0:05:00 > 0:05:03until they found a really good one!
0:05:03 > 0:05:05- Which they did!- They did indeed!
0:05:05 > 0:05:06So, chaps, what's your plan?
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Well, as we're both strong-minded people,
0:05:09 > 0:05:13the idea is that we have one each, and the other one is a mutual one.
0:05:13 > 0:05:14Wonderful, that should work well.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Now, all you need is some money to go shopping with.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21- £300 I've got for you. - Thank you very much.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24And I've got £300 for you!
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- Yes!- Off you go shopping, have a great time!
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Comics versus animal lovers.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Goodness knows if either of them will make a profit!
0:05:35 > 0:05:38All our teams need now are their experts.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Hoping to light up some profits for the Reds, it's Paul Laidlaw.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46And hoping for a barrel load of profits for the Blues,
0:05:46 > 0:05:48it's Philip Serrell.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Susan, Ryan, this braw morning in Wetherby,
0:05:54 > 0:05:55what is it we're shopping for?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57We're shopping for dogs, Paul!
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- What?- Dogs. Dogs. Any dogs.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- Bronze dogs, wooden dogs. - Oh, OK, this works!
0:06:03 > 0:06:05I'm looking for curves today
0:06:05 > 0:06:08because I've heard recently that curves are selling.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09- Ryan, you?- Live dogs...
0:06:09 > 0:06:13It's all about pooches, you love your dogs.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16I want to buy something that people would like in their homes.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Because if they don't want it in their homes, they won't buy it.
0:06:19 > 0:06:20Right, teams, get your skates on!
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Your time starts now!
0:06:23 > 0:06:25I'm well-known to be just a big puppy, so...
0:06:25 > 0:06:28HE PANTS
0:06:28 > 0:06:30You understand what a curve is?
0:06:30 > 0:06:31- I think I do...- Yeah!
0:06:31 > 0:06:34I think we're all clear on what our teams want,
0:06:34 > 0:06:35and the Reds are straight onto the scent.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38How about those two over there?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40- What two?- The two side hounds.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Go on, then. Let's have a look.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44They'd look good at the end of the drive on the pillars,
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- would they not?- They would look brilliant, wouldn't they?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- What do you think, any age? - Not really, I don't think.- No...
0:06:50 > 0:06:52- You know what you do with those?- No.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54- You paint them with yoghurt. - Yoghurt?
0:06:54 > 0:06:57It encourages lichen growth and so on,
0:06:57 > 0:07:00so it basically speeds up the ageing of them.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Do you reckon we could do that before the auction, or...
0:07:03 > 0:07:06What is that smell in this auction room, anybody?
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Depends what flavour yoghurt, as well!
0:07:09 > 0:07:13- What would you like to pay for them? - To pay for those, I would pay... 80?
0:07:13 > 0:07:14Good luck, Susan.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16That's half the £160 ticket price!
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- Do you want to ask? - We're thinking 80.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23I'd love to, but I'm afraid the margins on this one are jolly tight.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24What is the best?
0:07:24 > 0:07:27The kill on them would have to be 120.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- 100?- No, I'm sorry, I can't.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34I know my margins, they're very tight on this one.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36110? Go on!
0:07:36 > 0:07:38- No, I can't.- 115?
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Is Mum's negotiating embarrassing you, Ryan?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44118 and I'll do it.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- Yeah?- Well, you shook the hand now...
0:07:47 > 0:07:48You've done it!
0:07:48 > 0:07:51You've done it, I don't know what happened there!
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Look at this!
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Ryan, how do you feel about that negotiating strategy?
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Well, I think I might get involved on the next one.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01I might be shy but I think I can do a bit better than that!
0:08:01 > 0:08:03By get involved, do you mean basically hold her back?
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Yes, yeah. If I hold her back, you can do it next time!
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Right then, folks. We've done it.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13We've got dogs within a nanosecond to start with.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15They certainly have.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19£118 spent and not even five minutes on the clock.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Are the Blues also cooking on gas?
0:08:21 > 0:08:22Do you like those stoves?
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Because they're useful things, everybody's got...
0:08:24 > 0:08:27They're converting garden sheds and yurts and whatever
0:08:27 > 0:08:30and they put these little wood-burning stoves in. French.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31Do you like the look of those, or not?
0:08:31 > 0:08:35- Yeah, let's come and have a look. - Do you want to have a look? - Yeah, let's have a look.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38See... I quite... I quite like these.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Now that one's seen better... Well, that one's been well...
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Do you like them or not?
0:08:41 > 0:08:45- Nope.- No.- That's sorted that out then, didn't it?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Maybe not enough curves for the blues, Phil?
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Now, typewriters weren't on your shopping list, Reds.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Is there any good worth in the typewriters?
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Their prices have kept up, recently and I don't know why.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Early ones, big-money.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03These 1920s Underwoods, cast iron there, it's ballast.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05I don't know? Decorative objects.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09I think they're too late to be really desirable to the collectors.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11I suspect the Smiths Premier Number 10 is a better one.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- £200.- Yeah, it is the better one, isn't it?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16But too rich for us.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Yes, definitely, after that first buy!
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- All right!- I'm not going to let you forget it!
0:09:21 > 0:09:23All righty, right, right!
0:09:23 > 0:09:26You have £182 left, Reds.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28And you'll have to leave something for Paul.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30So what has Chris spotted?
0:09:30 > 0:09:34This, gentleman, is a cracket.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38And it's nicely decorated, it's small.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41It'll stand by the hearth and grandkids can sit on it.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- Sounds to me like we're not going to have much say in this, are we?- No.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45Shall we find out how much it is?
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Excuse me, how much is your little stool, please?
0:09:48 > 0:09:52- It's £15.- I would like to get this for... £9.
0:09:52 > 0:09:53Oh, right, OK.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56£9, it goes for ten and we get a profit.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57- How about that? - Give me £9, then.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59There you are, that's it.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- Well done, that man.- Very good.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04- Thank you.- And it's round, as well.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07This is not going to be any great age, but it's a bit of fun,
0:10:07 > 0:10:09isn't it? And for £9, there's got to be a profit there.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13We will make a profit and that is the object of the exercise.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15- It's job done, isn't it? - Job done, job done.- Job done.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Right, we're going to put that down and find two other
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- curvaceous profitable things. - OK, yep.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Something with curves for the home.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23The Blues think they've cracked it!
0:10:23 > 0:10:25That's one we're sharing, right?
0:10:25 > 0:10:27That's the sharing one.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30You've already chosen that, and now you're saying I'm sharing?
0:10:30 > 0:10:32- Well, you are sharing! - I do hate it when...
0:10:32 > 0:10:34What sort of a friend is that?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36I hate it when there's rows, come on. Come on.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Brilliant. Good luck with these two, Phil.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Let's go back to the Reds.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42The chopping block, what is that?
0:10:42 > 0:10:44It's a hat block.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47It's from Poland and it's done in sections.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49So, the lady would make the hats on it,
0:10:49 > 0:10:51and you can make them bigger or smaller, you know?
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- I've seen the price there. - What price have I got on it?
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- 70.- The best I could do is 60.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- OK.- Right, I definitely need your support on that!
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Susan, I've heard there's loads of dog things somewhere else...
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- Yeah?- I think there would be profit in that.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07I've spent big already, sorry.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- All right.- Thank you.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Some diversion tactics coming into play there!
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Alan, are you getting a look in?
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Let's have a look at this.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22That's brand-new and it's about £20 worth.
0:11:22 > 0:11:23- £20 worth?- Yeah.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25When we finish you can come back and buy that, OK?
0:11:25 > 0:11:28- OK, yeah, OK. - Who's in charge all the time?
0:11:28 > 0:11:30I know, I know. I know.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Let's call him team leader!
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Reds, are you about to give some more dogs a home?
0:11:35 > 0:11:36I do like the figure.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Are they a pair, or... No...
0:11:38 > 0:11:39- They've got to be a pair, yeah. - Yes, yes.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41What kind of metal do you think they are?
0:11:41 > 0:11:45It will be a base metal alloy and then the pattern, the bronzing,
0:11:45 > 0:11:47is just applied over that.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- Right.- I think there's a good chance they're French.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Date wise, I think somewhere between '30s and '50s.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56But when they were new, it didn't have that chunk out of it there.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58But, you know what? It's not the end of the world, is it?
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- No.- 28 for the two? Fair enough.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04I mean, frankly, at auction I put an estimate of 20 to 40 on those.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- As much as 40?- Look, they're dogs!
0:12:07 > 0:12:09It's not just you and your mum...
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- People love them!- I might get a best price and then walk away.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16- Play it tactically. - I like the way you think!
0:12:16 > 0:12:20I'd just like to ask what would be the best price on these.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Just considering the big chip.
0:12:23 > 0:12:2422, I think.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Would 15 be...?
0:12:26 > 0:12:28£20.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- I think we'll look around, and... - Have a look round, and...
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Yeah, hopefully they're there when we come back.
0:12:33 > 0:12:34- OK.- We'll think about it.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38- Thank you very much, though. - No problem at all. Thank you very much.- See you soon.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Unlike Mum, Ryan clearly wants to be careful with the cash.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Blues, are you moving at full steam?
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- You like railways, don't you? - I absolutely do, yes.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51These...are bookplates.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54And they would have been used to illustrate a book.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58They're not that old and they're not hugely valuable.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59But to a train buff...
0:13:01 > 0:13:03We both live near the Stockton and Darlington Railway.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05- Right.- And we're very keen on that.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09And I think this would be excellent depending on what price we can get.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Let's have a word with the dealer, see what we can do.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13- Good Sir!- Yes?
0:13:13 > 0:13:17These, they're not hugely... They haven't got great age, have they?
0:13:17 > 0:13:20I would think they're probably 1920s, '30s,
0:13:20 > 0:13:23going on the type of printing that they are.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Yeah. I was thinking sort of '50s,
0:13:26 > 0:13:28but I think they're very nice things.
0:13:28 > 0:13:33In my eyes, they're like between £2 and £8 each.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35So, do you want to buy one, or all of them?
0:13:35 > 0:13:37- Let's have the lot. - One, two, three, four...
0:13:37 > 0:13:39- Give us a price for the whole lot. - Six, seven.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- I've actually got £20 each on those.- Oh.
0:13:42 > 0:13:47If you are going to buy them all, I think the very best would be £70.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49£10 each.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53I actually paid £8 each for them, so I can't do any better really.
0:13:53 > 0:13:54Make it 69, and we've got a deal.
0:13:58 > 0:13:59He's done it again!
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- All right.- And he's in charge again, have you noticed?
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- Yes, yes. I noticed! - He wants to buy everything.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07I think that's a punchy price you've paid for those...
0:14:07 > 0:14:10But if they don't make it in Darlington they're not going to anywhere, are they?
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Now, you can definitely buy the last item. Definitely!
0:14:13 > 0:14:15- Definitely!- Famous last words! - Thank you very much.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19We'll see what happens, but I won't count my chickens!
0:14:19 > 0:14:21That's two down in 25 minutes.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Now, what does Susan have her eye on?
0:14:23 > 0:14:26I think there's a dog in it, if you're looking for it!
0:14:26 > 0:14:27- BARKING - Yes!
0:14:30 > 0:14:34It's an old steel milk churn, that's been copper plated.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37And it works! What are you going to do with that, dog biscuits?
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Yeah, what price have we got on that?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41It's 35.
0:14:41 > 0:14:42It's not a lot of money?
0:14:43 > 0:14:45It's practical, so...
0:14:45 > 0:14:49It's not something we were going to go for, but if you like it, then...
0:14:49 > 0:14:52And you can get it for the right price, go for it.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55- I was thinking lower. - I would go to 30 on that one,
0:14:55 > 0:14:57but that would be the best I can do.
0:14:57 > 0:14:58Remember, Mum, you can go lower than 30...
0:14:58 > 0:15:02- 25?- No, it really needs to be 30.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06I don't think it's a lot of money, I think people are going to think
0:15:06 > 0:15:09I can stick kindling in that, next to the log burner, or whatever.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11The guy's only asking £30 for it.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13- Yeah...- Sounds all right to me!
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Might even go £29...
0:15:15 > 0:15:18I've got a sneaking suspicion!
0:15:18 > 0:15:20- £29.- Thank you!
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Ryan, you're a positive influence. Thanks very much!
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- What do you reckon? - It's a good buy.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Thank you very much!
0:15:30 > 0:15:34Susan certainly likes to drive a hard bargain, but that makes it 2-2.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37So, whilst the teams carry on with the shopping,
0:15:37 > 0:15:38I'm off for a stroll around Wetherby!
0:15:46 > 0:15:48I've come away from Wetherby Racecourse
0:15:48 > 0:15:50because I've got something here that I want to show you.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54A walking stick, you think?
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Well, it is a walking stick - and it isn't.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Cast your mind back to the late 19th century.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03The church, there's a lovely example of a church there,
0:16:03 > 0:16:06didn't really like you playing any sort of sport,
0:16:06 > 0:16:08particularly over there, Scotland.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11The national sport, golf.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15So, what some cunning golf club makers did
0:16:15 > 0:16:18was they made a thing called a Sunday stick,
0:16:18 > 0:16:23which appears, to the vicar, to be a simple walking stick.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26But on the way home, when no-one was looking,
0:16:26 > 0:16:28you turn it round, and look!
0:16:28 > 0:16:30It's shaped as a golf club.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33And, you could practice your swing on a Sunday,
0:16:33 > 0:16:35without anybody knowing.
0:16:35 > 0:16:40And a good Sunday stick made by a famous maker is now really quite
0:16:40 > 0:16:44collectable. This is a beautiful hickory shafted one made today.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48Note how it's different from a usual golf club.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52It tapers away to a little brass ferrule.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55A golf club, of course, would get wider and have a grip.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58But if you walked into church with your walking stick with a grip round
0:16:58 > 0:17:01the bottom, the vicar would know precisely
0:17:01 > 0:17:03what you'd got in your hand!
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Anyway, if you could find one from 1890, 1900,
0:17:06 > 0:17:09they were made by Anderson,
0:17:09 > 0:17:11and they were made by people like Tom Morris.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15You could be paying £400 or £500 for one of those,
0:17:15 > 0:17:18but a well-made reproduction one's still going to cost you
0:17:18 > 0:17:20the best part of £100.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23But, what fun - leave church,
0:17:23 > 0:17:26turn your walking stick upside down...
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Vicar's not watching...
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Quick swing...and away we go!
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Back to it and we're over halfway.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Both teams have two items.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43The Reds seem to love their buys,
0:17:43 > 0:17:46and Susan is rather impressed with their expert.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50Paul is brilliant, I'm so pleased that we have Paul.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54Me mum's just starstruck! Yeah.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57And so far, Chris has taken charge of the Blues' two buys.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00So, Alan, what's the plan for your final item?
0:18:00 > 0:18:02I'm looking for something artistic.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04It's not the sort of...
0:18:04 > 0:18:08Curve... Art... Art curvature that I'm looking for.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10It's a piece of...artistic...
0:18:10 > 0:18:12I think I know what sort of curvature you're looking for!
0:18:12 > 0:18:14No, no!
0:18:14 > 0:18:17And, Ryan, you're taking charge of the final item for the Reds...
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Or maybe not.
0:18:19 > 0:18:20- Ryan?- Yep?
0:18:20 > 0:18:22A little...
0:18:24 > 0:18:28- What is that? - That is just a wee trinket dish.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Interestingly, that casting I've seen before.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35I suspect period wise, 1920s, 1930s.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Origin, that might be out of France.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40I worry about the lack of substance, but I tell you what it is -
0:18:40 > 0:18:41utterly charming.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43I do like the fact that it isn't damaged,
0:18:43 > 0:18:46but like you say, it's that substance.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48It doesn't jump out at you,
0:18:48 > 0:18:50like if you were walking around an auction room,
0:18:50 > 0:18:53would that catch your eye? I think we'll move on.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57It's not puppy love, but these medals have caught Alan's eye.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58Phil?
0:19:00 > 0:19:05Tell me how George V World War I medals are going to sell?
0:19:05 > 0:19:10Pip, Squeak and Wilfred, which is what the three medals were known as,
0:19:10 > 0:19:13will make between probably
0:19:13 > 0:19:15£30 and £50 for the three.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Take it out if you want and have a look.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Yeah... What sort of prices...
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- How much have I got on it?- £65!
0:19:23 > 0:19:24Well, there you go.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27There's the extra information in there.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29You're not just buying medals, you're buying the guide...
0:19:29 > 0:19:33- I realise!- I like him! - I realise that.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35What's the best that you could do on those?
0:19:35 > 0:19:36- What can you do them for?- 55.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- Is that the absolute finish? - Oh, come on, come on.
0:19:39 > 0:19:4151?
0:19:41 > 0:19:4355.
0:19:43 > 0:19:48I think that those two badges are like £30 to £40 at auction.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50He's not going to drop lower than 55, so you've really got...
0:19:50 > 0:19:53It's time to probably move on.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55But you can come back, if you want to.
0:19:55 > 0:19:56- We'll have a think.- OK.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Come on, off we go.
0:19:58 > 0:19:59Have a think then, Blues.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03And, surprise, surprise, there's more dogs for the Reds!
0:20:03 > 0:20:06I'm loving that Lurcher, those Lurchers mid run.
0:20:06 > 0:20:07They are very expensive,
0:20:07 > 0:20:10and I don't know if she'll come down with them, being new.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13I think you're on a hiding to nothing.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17This is good art, but to buy it...
0:20:17 > 0:20:20- In an auction... - And then stick it in an auction.
0:20:20 > 0:20:21It doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23- Is that all right?- No, yeah, yeah.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25I'm just trying to give you the right advice.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27I just like the scruffy Lurcher!
0:20:27 > 0:20:31I mean, I love that, it's really good work.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Yes, sound advice, Paul.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Now it seems our reverend has been distracted...
0:20:35 > 0:20:39- Chris?- I bet you've never seen a volume like this.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43Sermons to young women, in two volumes.
0:20:43 > 0:20:49By James Fordyce DD, Doctor of Divinity.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51This is a piece of tat.
0:20:51 > 0:20:52Leave it alone. Come on.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55That is not tat. It's only tat to you!
0:20:56 > 0:20:58The team leader has spoken!
0:20:58 > 0:21:01So, with 45 minutes on the clock, Reds,
0:21:01 > 0:21:02what is your third item going to be?
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Nothing else has jumped out, like you says.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06No, we have to go back for the dogs, Ryan.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Oh, yeah. I can definitely sprint!
0:21:08 > 0:21:10- Who's going to win?- Come on, jog on.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Race you.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Quelle surprise!
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Just look what's put a smile to Alan's face.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20- What do you reckon?- Well...
0:21:20 > 0:21:22- Alan.- Got some curvature!
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Alan, make the lady an offer, OK?
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Off you go.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28Use all your skills.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Use all your diplomatic skills.
0:21:31 > 0:21:3238, what do you reckon?
0:21:34 > 0:21:36You're looking at me, aren't you?
0:21:36 > 0:21:38And how much are you going to give it to me?
0:21:38 > 0:21:39I'll do 20 for you.
0:21:39 > 0:21:40Oh!
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Make it 19.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43- Make it 19.- 19?- OK.
0:21:43 > 0:21:4419?
0:21:46 > 0:21:48- OK.- 19. Oh, I say!- Shake her hand.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Oh, I say!
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Wonderful, thank you very much indeed.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Shake the woman's hand.
0:21:55 > 0:21:56You're my brother!
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Well, how much have you just paid for that?
0:21:59 > 0:22:00- 19.- And what is it?
0:22:01 > 0:22:05It is purely decorative, in a house.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08- It is... Yes, yes. - And it's a beautiful colour.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11- What did you think to it? - I think it'll make the money.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13At 19 quid, you can't lose very much, can you?
0:22:13 > 0:22:14- Exactly.- Well done, you.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Thank you very much indeed.
0:22:16 > 0:22:17And do you know what? Joking apart,
0:22:17 > 0:22:20I think you've got three items that could show you a profit.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Although, I give up with you...
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Job done, Blues, with ten minutes to spare.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29You've certainly made us laugh!
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Reds, I just hope those bookends haven't gone walkies...
0:22:32 > 0:22:34I can't see them, actually...
0:22:34 > 0:22:37- Have they gone? - That boat might have sailed.
0:22:37 > 0:22:38Wow!
0:22:40 > 0:22:43- Ten minutes.- I should be panicking. - Yes.- Oh, my word.- Have they gone...
0:22:43 > 0:22:47- They've gone?- Sorry? - The dogs gone?- Dogs?
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Dogs... These?
0:22:50 > 0:22:51You did it on purpose!
0:22:51 > 0:22:53THEY LAUGH
0:22:53 > 0:22:54Well, yes.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56- How does that feel?- I don't want to give you a heart attack,
0:22:56 > 0:22:58but what about 16?
0:22:58 > 0:23:02Your time is running out you see, I've seen this game played before!
0:23:02 > 0:23:06- £19, that's... That's it.- 18.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09I don't know if I like you that much!
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Well...! I think I might just go buy a...
0:23:12 > 0:23:15- £18, go on, then. - There you go, thank you very much.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Indeed. Thank you very much, by the way.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19- Thank you.- Thanks for that.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22And that's it for the Reds, too.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Right teams, your time is up!
0:23:26 > 0:23:27- Well, my brother...- Yeah.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29- We've done it!- That's a good ending!
0:23:29 > 0:23:30- Done it!- Yes!
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Let's check out what the Red team have bought.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39First up, Susan and Ryan were determined to buy some dogs.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42And straightaway, bought the statues for £118.
0:23:45 > 0:23:46No dogs for their second item.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Instead, they bought a milk churn for £29.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Then, back to the dogs for their final item.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57£18 paid for these bookends.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01Susan and Ryan, woof, woof!
0:24:01 > 0:24:02All about dogs, wasn't it?
0:24:02 > 0:24:04I mean, you said you were going to buy animals, and you did.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06We did, barking mad, we did.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08How was your negotiatings?
0:24:08 > 0:24:11- Really good?- Do you not think they could have been a little sharper?
0:24:11 > 0:24:13He's saying nothing!
0:24:13 > 0:24:16It's not often you see this man stuck for words!
0:24:16 > 0:24:18But you seem to have pulled it off!
0:24:18 > 0:24:20- Did you have a good time, though? - Fantastic, brilliant time.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Marvellous. So, Ryan, have you had a good time?
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Oh, I've had a great time.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Especially seeing all the dogs.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28- Yeah?- The antiques, and the live ones!
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Wonderful. So, what was your favourite item?
0:24:32 > 0:24:34The big dogs. The two big dogs.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36So certain about that!
0:24:36 > 0:24:39- Ryan?- Yeah, they're my favourite as well, the two big Lurchers.
0:24:39 > 0:24:40And there's no point in asking you
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- which is going to make the biggest profit?- The big dogs!- Yep.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47No, I don't... I don't think so. I think we overspent on that...
0:24:47 > 0:24:49- But I think the bookends'll do well. Yeah.- The bookends it is.
0:24:49 > 0:24:54Well, you spent £165, which is a fraction over half.
0:24:54 > 0:24:59It leaves 135, which I'm hoping one of you's got?
0:24:59 > 0:25:01- I have!- Now, come on, over to me.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05I only handle it for a short while, before I hand it on to your man,
0:25:05 > 0:25:07who is going to work very hard on your behalf.
0:25:07 > 0:25:08I hope so.
0:25:08 > 0:25:13I can assure you, the bonus buy will be entirely canine-free!
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- So, what WILL you do with it? - Do you know, I've really no idea,
0:25:18 > 0:25:20but I've got a budget, and that'll do me.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22So, while Paul goes off with his budget,
0:25:22 > 0:25:25let's check out what the Blue team have bought.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28First up, friends Chris and Alan wanted something for the home,
0:25:28 > 0:25:30and bought this stool for £9.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Next, it was full steam ahead,
0:25:34 > 0:25:37and they paid £69 for these railway printing blocks.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41And finally, Alan was allowed to buy something,
0:25:41 > 0:25:44so he bought this vase for £19.
0:25:45 > 0:25:46So, the Chris and Alan show.
0:25:46 > 0:25:47Well, it wasn't really, was it?
0:25:47 > 0:25:49It was the Chris show, with a splash of Alan.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52- I would disagree with that. - You would disagree with that?- Yeah.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54What about you, Chris, weren't you leading things?
0:25:54 > 0:25:56It was 50-50 all the way through!
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Was it 50-50 all the way through?
0:25:58 > 0:26:00We might go to an adjudicator on that.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03- Phil?- I think Chris's 50-50 is 60-40!
0:26:05 > 0:26:07- Have you had a good time? - Oh, magnificent.
0:26:07 > 0:26:08Such a good time,
0:26:08 > 0:26:10you bought your third lot without Phil knowing anything about it.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Exactly! It's going to sell.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14It's going to sell with a profit.
0:26:14 > 0:26:15So, is that your favourite item?
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Yes, I think so.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Sure? Chris, what's your favourite item?
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Oh, it's got to be the cracket.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24And it'll make a fair profit, but I think that Alan's right,
0:26:24 > 0:26:27we'll probably make most money on his vase.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Most money on the vase and what do you think, Alan?
0:26:29 > 0:26:30I think the green vase.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32- The green vase.- It is magnificent.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Well, well, well. This is the Bargain Hunt of the green vase.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39And you spent £97.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41- How much did I give you?- 300.- Yep.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44So, I reckon you've got 203 to give back.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46- Your maths is excellent. - I would like it now.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49- Do we have to give it back? - I'm afraid you do.- Oh, dear me.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52And it'll sound even worse when I tell you where it's going.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54- There it is.- Because it's going to the great man!
0:26:54 > 0:26:56- Well, why not?- Thank you, Charlie.
0:26:56 > 0:26:57What are you going to do with it?
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Well, they were looking for something
0:26:59 > 0:27:01that was sort of curvy and silver,
0:27:01 > 0:27:03so I suppose I've got to go and find something that's curvy and silver,
0:27:03 > 0:27:05haven't I?!
0:27:05 > 0:27:08So, while Phil goes off to find something curvy and silver,
0:27:08 > 0:27:10I'm off to the auction room.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Today, we're at Thomas Watson auctioneers,
0:27:18 > 0:27:21and I'm with the auctioneer himself, David Elstob.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23- David, how are you? - Very well, Charlie, and you?
0:27:23 > 0:27:24Good, yes, thank you.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Now, the Red team, Susan and Ryan,
0:27:26 > 0:27:28they said they were going to buy dogs,
0:27:28 > 0:27:30and indeed they bought dogs,
0:27:30 > 0:27:33the first pair of which you can see down there on the floor.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36- What do you think of them? - I think they're very handsome.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Nicely weathered, I think they'll do well.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Good. People like a dog in a saleroom, don't they?
0:27:40 > 0:27:41They do. We do very well with dogs.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Do you? Have you had a bit of interest?
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- We might have.- We might have!
0:27:46 > 0:27:48He's cagey, this one!
0:27:48 > 0:27:50- What about an estimate?- 100-200.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Have you? Ooh!
0:27:52 > 0:27:55I quite like the estimate because they paid £118.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57I think they'll do well there,
0:27:57 > 0:27:58I think there's some nice profit in that.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01Good, good. Ooh, watch this space.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Start with a profit, will we have a profit with the next lot?
0:28:03 > 0:28:06What do you think about that churn?
0:28:06 > 0:28:10It's very nice, country rustic, a little bit battered, I'm afraid.
0:28:10 > 0:28:11It has been kicked around a bit, hasn't it?
0:28:11 > 0:28:16It has. But people might use it in the garden, put some flowers in it.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Yeah. It's not actually copper, though, is it?
0:28:18 > 0:28:20I think it's been coppered.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Yes, and I think they agreed with that when they bought it.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Yeah. What about an estimate?
0:28:25 > 0:28:27- 20-30.- 20-30, well, that should be all right,
0:28:27 > 0:28:29they're a bit near the top of that one -
0:28:29 > 0:28:3229, odd figure, really, but they paid £29.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34It'll be close, but there might be a small profit there.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38Now, Ryan's choice was THIS pair of dogs, much, much smaller,
0:28:38 > 0:28:40but quite well-modelled.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43And although they're modern, they're quite appealing, aren't they?
0:28:43 > 0:28:45They are appealing, they're in an Art Deco style,
0:28:45 > 0:28:46they could be 1970s still,
0:28:46 > 0:28:49there was a great revival around there of all things Deco.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51They're spelter, rather than bronze.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54They have a nice patina to them, there is an appeal there to buyers.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Yeah. I think the stands are probably earlier,
0:28:56 > 0:28:57the stands look as if they might have
0:28:57 > 0:28:59come from a three-piece clock set.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02- I wouldn't disagree with that, Charlie.- Yeah, a French clock set.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04But they're appealing, as you say.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06- What about an estimate? - Our estimate is 30-50.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09Well, well, well, £18 paid.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11They may already be making a profit,
0:29:11 > 0:29:13so they might not need their bonus buy.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16But just in case they do, let's have a look at it.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22Well, Susan and Ryan, I think we can be sure of one thing.
0:29:22 > 0:29:26Under that red cloth, there is not a dog.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30But we'll see what you have got.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34OK. It was not easy, in fairness, I struggled a bit,
0:29:34 > 0:29:37and all I could find was an old purse.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39What's that doing for you?
0:29:39 > 0:29:41I know. Look, I tried hard!
0:29:41 > 0:29:44It wasn't easy! Anyway, not any old purse.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47- Right.- It's a Japanese object.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50And this was worn perhaps by a samurai, it has to be said!
0:29:50 > 0:29:54Hanging from his waistband and it is a tobacco pouch.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57He'd have a little pouch for his pipe, his kiseru,
0:29:57 > 0:30:00a little pouch for his tobacco and this is a collectable object.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03But the decorative element here
0:30:03 > 0:30:08is a lovely little gilt bronze depiction of a samurai
0:30:08 > 0:30:09fighting a dragon.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12Is it getting any sexier?
0:30:12 > 0:30:14How much did you pay for it?
0:30:14 > 0:30:18Oh! The price will determine how sexy it is, Mr Laidlaw!
0:30:18 > 0:30:19That cost me £20.
0:30:19 > 0:30:20- Wow.- That's not bad.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22You had a lot of money to spend.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25Aye, well, it's not the size of the spend,
0:30:25 > 0:30:28it's the size of the profit that counts.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30Can I just have a look?
0:30:30 > 0:30:33- Yeah.- Is it leather?
0:30:33 > 0:30:38I'm genuinely thinking, just, it's a little purse,
0:30:38 > 0:30:40but I hear what you say.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42I think we know what Susan thinks, but Ryan,
0:30:42 > 0:30:44I'm not really getting anything from your face at the moment.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46I knew you weren't going to go for a doggy thing,
0:30:46 > 0:30:48but I didn't think it was going to be...
0:30:48 > 0:30:53- A purse!- Yes, a Japanese, samurai, purse, tobacco thing!
0:30:53 > 0:30:57So, do you think it will be good at auction, will it bring good money?
0:30:57 > 0:30:59I think there should be a healthy profit in that.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02Well, I trust you, I really do. We said we would go with you.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04- Yes, yeah, definitely.- Well, you don't have to make your mind up now,
0:31:04 > 0:31:07wait until the auction and then just see how the mood takes you.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10And anyway, what does the auctioneer think about this pouch?
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Is he as enthusiastic as Paul is?
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Now, Paul Laidlaw can be a canny chap.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20And I think he's hit the nail on the head with this lot.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24It's a tobacco pouch. Well, we're not that keen on smoking any more,
0:31:24 > 0:31:26of course, but I love the clasp.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28I love it, I think it's a lovely object.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32It's Japanese, Meiji period, end of the 19th century.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35What sets it apart, really, is the quality of the clasp,
0:31:35 > 0:31:37the casting's very crisp.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40- Yeah. You have online buyers here? - We'd have a lot of online buyers.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42I think that's going online, I'll stick my neck out
0:31:42 > 0:31:45and I think it's going to make a really good profit.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Well, what about your estimate?
0:31:47 > 0:31:49- 30-50.- 30-50.
0:31:49 > 0:31:50Would that be slightly conservative?
0:31:50 > 0:31:53- We'll see.- I think it's slightly conservative.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56But he only paid £20.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59- He did very well. - Anyway, that's the Reds done.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02Now, the Blues, Chris and Alan, they haven't spent as much money,
0:32:02 > 0:32:06- and we kick off with...the stool. - Yes, the stool.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08It's decorative.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11Somebody might have a little corner to fill in a house.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13- Yeah.- It's all hand-painted, but...
0:32:13 > 0:32:15It IS hand-painted, but you'd want it to be 19th century
0:32:15 > 0:32:19- and Scandinavian, that style, wouldn't you?- Yes, you would.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21And then it might make some money.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23- What about an estimate?- 20-30.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Ooh! I would say bullish.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27- Do you know what they paid? - Go on.
0:32:27 > 0:32:28£9 for the milking stool.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30£9, OK. Well, they might be nearer than I am.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33They might make a profit there. Well, let's turn to the UDDER items.
0:32:33 > 0:32:37Chris chose the stool and I think he was really the driving force
0:32:37 > 0:32:39with these printing blocks, seven of them.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42They're fascinating, they're history, but how saleable are they?
0:32:42 > 0:32:45Well, we're in a railway town...
0:32:45 > 0:32:47- Yes, of course.- Always interest in railway items in Darlington.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50- Yeah.- Although the market is limited.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54Yeah. The trouble is, they're not really that visual, are they?
0:32:54 > 0:32:57If they were brighter, you could put them on the wall,
0:32:57 > 0:32:59- look at them and admire them. - Yes, you could mount them.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01- What about an estimate? - 30-50.- 30-50.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05I think they went quite bullish on this, £69 paid.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07I think they've been a little bit strong with those.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10Yeah. Well, time will tell.
0:33:10 > 0:33:11Well, the vase, what about the vase?
0:33:11 > 0:33:14I think it's nice, nice piece of art glass.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16Very tactile, it's a nice shape.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18- Nice bubble inclusions. - Yeah.- I like it.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22- You're making it sound wonderful! - I'm a good salesman, Charlie!
0:33:22 > 0:33:23Well, will you need to be with this?
0:33:23 > 0:33:25They loved this and they think this
0:33:25 > 0:33:27is going to make them the biggest profit.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29So, no pressure, but what's your estimate?
0:33:29 > 0:33:31- 30-50.- 30-50.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34I think you've done them handsomely already with the estimate.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36They paid £19.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39- They've done well.- They've done well, could well make a profit.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Well, we might be looking at two profits,
0:33:41 > 0:33:45but quite probably not a third, so they might need their bonus buy.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47So, let's have a look at it.
0:33:48 > 0:33:53Well, Chris and Alan, you sent him off with a bundle of money
0:33:53 > 0:33:56to buy something curvy and silver.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58- Yes.- Do you think he managed that?
0:33:58 > 0:34:01Well, I wouldn't have put it past him.
0:34:01 > 0:34:05- I'm just wondering. - Well, it is slightly curvy.
0:34:05 > 0:34:06Ooh.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08But it is silver.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10- What is it?- It's a thermometer.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13- Is that what it is?- It would have sat on a gentleman's desk,
0:34:13 > 0:34:16back end of the 19th century.
0:34:16 > 0:34:17And it's hallmarked,
0:34:17 > 0:34:20and I just think that's a really lovely thing.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Does it work, that's the point?!
0:34:23 > 0:34:25It's got below five at the minute, so I think it probably does!
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Oh! What do you think of that?
0:34:29 > 0:34:31Well, it's got the curves, but...
0:34:31 > 0:34:33has it got the temperature?
0:34:33 > 0:34:36I think we might be a little cool on this one, I'm afraid.
0:34:36 > 0:34:40For me, I get this totally underwhelmed feeling, Charlie,
0:34:40 > 0:34:42- I don't know about you.- Absolutely.
0:34:42 > 0:34:43I mean, if the thermometer doesn't work,
0:34:43 > 0:34:46it's a piece of cake to put another thermometer in there.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49The point is, how much did you pay for it?
0:34:49 > 0:34:54Well, I paid £45 for it and I think it'll make between £50-£80.
0:34:54 > 0:34:55Ooh, he's getting excited, Phil.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58You could be right. You could well be right.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00£45!
0:35:00 > 0:35:01Come on, fella!
0:35:01 > 0:35:04- Not bad.- Well, the boy done good.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Oh, thank you!
0:35:06 > 0:35:08You're quite enthusiastic about this, aren't you?
0:35:08 > 0:35:10I am now. I am now.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12You don't have to make your mind up now, chaps,
0:35:12 > 0:35:14wait until the auction.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17But let's see what the auctioneer thinks about
0:35:17 > 0:35:19Phil's curvy and silver thermometer.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24Now, Phil's done pretty well here, I think, what do you think of it?
0:35:24 > 0:35:26I like it. Nice Chester hallmark on it.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Chester silver's always very well-collected.
0:35:28 > 0:35:29- It is, isn't it?- It is.

0:40:45 > 0:40:47- Oh!- But a profit is a profit!
0:40:49 > 0:40:54Anyway, thanks to the vase, your loss of £24 has shot down to £23.

0:41:33 > 0:41:34Oh, no! Oh!
0:41:36 > 0:41:37- I'm very surprised at that.- I am.
0:41:37 > 0:41:42Still, you could well win this competition, Alan,
0:41:42 > 0:41:45you're quite right. Anyway, not a word to the Reds.
0:41:45 > 0:41:49- Keep quiet.- Yeah. - And we'll find out later.- OK.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57Susan and Ryan, Chris and Alan, have you had a good time?
0:41:57 > 0:41:59- Oh, yes!- Yes!
0:41:59 > 0:42:01Oh, my word, sounds as if you've had a ball!
0:42:01 > 0:42:04Well, of course, on Bargain Hunt, we don't have winners and losers,
0:42:04 > 0:42:06- you know that, don't you? - Yep.- We do.
0:42:06 > 0:42:07We have winners and we have runners-up.

0:42:12 > 0:42:14- You!- Oh!
0:42:14 > 0:42:16Oh, no!
0:42:16 > 0:42:17Yes, it's the Blues!
0:42:17 > 0:42:20I'm afraid it was the printing blocks that did it, wasn't it?
0:42:20 > 0:42:21Yes. Mea culpa. Mea culpa.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23Well, Susan, it all went well, didn't it?
0:42:23 > 0:42:26- Yes.- Swimmingly well. And Ryan, woof, woof!
0:42:28 > 0:42:31Those dogs just put the icing on the cake, didn't it?
0:42:31 > 0:42:33Well, you could say they brought home the bone, couldn't you?
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Brought home the bone!
0:42:35 > 0:42:36Well, it certainly did.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39Well, you made three profits. You made a profit out of the greyhound
0:42:39 > 0:42:42statues, the milk churn and the Alsatian bookends.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44- Yes.- I mean, that's fantastic.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48And then for good measure, your good man chucked another tenner on top.
0:42:48 > 0:42:53- Yes!- So, with that, you're going home with 60 smackers.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56But of course, that pales into insignificance against
0:42:56 > 0:42:59- what I'm about to give them. - Uh-huh...
0:42:59 > 0:43:02The Golden Gavel award.
0:43:02 > 0:43:03How about that?!
0:43:03 > 0:43:05Oh, my word!
0:43:05 > 0:43:07One for you, Susan.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10- Thank you.- And Ryan, wear it with pride.
0:43:10 > 0:43:15- Oh, I will do.- We don't dish out those every day, I can tell you!
