As you all know, we love a fair on Bargain Hunt.

0:00:020:00:05

And guess what? For our teams here in Devon,

0:00:050:00:08

there'll be plenty of ups and downs.

0:00:080:00:10

And as for me, well, every show is like a roller-coaster ride.

0:00:140:00:19

Here we go.

0:00:190:00:20

NATASHA LAUGHS

0:00:220:00:23

Whoo!

0:00:230:00:24

Let's go Bargain Hunting! Whoo!

0:00:240:00:26

Well, we had lots of fun at the theme park,

0:00:490:00:52

we're going to have even more fun at the fair.

0:00:520:00:55

We've come to Westpoint Arena in Exeter,

0:00:550:00:57

a tried and tested stomping ground for Bargain Hunt.

0:00:570:01:00

So let's have a gander at what's coming up.

0:01:000:01:02

The Reds have fun at first,

0:01:040:01:05

but things take a turn for the worst.

0:01:050:01:08

I'll turn this, this shipwreck around.

0:01:080:01:10

THEY LAUGH

0:01:100:01:12

The Blues hope to boogie their way to victory.

0:01:120:01:14

With the rump, with the rump.

0:01:140:01:16

Then they show off their moves at the auction.

0:01:160:01:18

Gary's got that down particularly, I would say.

0:01:180:01:21

But will the Reds tread on their toes?

0:01:210:01:23

Yes! We're getting closer.

0:01:230:01:25

But that's all coming up later.

0:01:250:01:27

First, it's time to meet our teams

0:01:270:01:29

- and we've got a brilliant mix of family

0:01:290:01:31

and friends today. For the Reds, we've got friends Nathan and Ollie.

0:01:310:01:34

And for the Blues, we've got mother and daughter Janine and Lisa.

0:01:340:01:38

-Welcome, everyone. Hello!

-Hello!

-Hello!

0:01:380:01:40

Now I'm going to start with the boys, with the Red team.

0:01:400:01:43

Now, Nathan, how did you two meet?

0:01:430:01:44

I signed up for a ski holiday with a university,

0:01:440:01:47

we were placed in a hotel apartment,

0:01:470:01:50

turned out Ollie was also in this hotel room.

0:01:500:01:52

He found out, messaged me immediately,

0:01:520:01:54

"Who are you?" I thought, great first impression, but, yeah,

0:01:540:01:57

he turned out to be a relatively nice person in the end.

0:01:570:02:00

-Relatively nice?

-All is forgiven.

0:02:000:02:02

How do you like to spend your downtime?

0:02:020:02:04

I'm very sporty, I'm a big Spurs fan and football is my main one,

0:02:040:02:07

-but I'll play anything.

-Are you sporty, too?

0:02:070:02:09

A little bit, not as sporty as Nathan, I prefer to travel

0:02:090:02:12

and see what's happening up and down the UK,

0:02:120:02:15

or if I've got enough time

0:02:150:02:16

and there's a cheap enough flight going out, I'll jet off.

0:02:160:02:19

So tell us about your travels, anything mad happen?

0:02:190:02:22

On a recent trip to Thailand,

0:02:220:02:24

we decided to rent a boat for the day and snorkel,

0:02:240:02:28

see a bit of the fish.

0:02:280:02:29

We rented this boat for about £80,

0:02:290:02:32

we took it back and it turned out that we'd purchased the boat

0:02:320:02:35

-off this gentleman.

-LAUGHTER

0:02:350:02:36

We were happy to just give it to him back,

0:02:360:02:39

and he rewarded us with a nice big bag of many dragon fruits,

0:02:390:02:43

which I must say are delicious.

0:02:430:02:44

That is quite a bizarre story.

0:02:440:02:46

Do you think working together as the Red team you'll be quite serious?

0:02:460:02:49

-Do you have any way that you're going to play this game?

-Yeah.

0:02:490:02:52

We're quite dissimilar, despite being friends.

0:02:520:02:54

I have more of a positive outlook on life,

0:02:540:02:57

to Ollie's often pessimism, but I think that'll work well.

0:02:570:03:00

I feel I reign your optimism in, though.

0:03:000:03:02

To a more realistic approach.

0:03:020:03:04

OK, well, that's your story. Let's head over to the Blues.

0:03:040:03:08

-Yes, hi.

-Now, tell me, Janine, I'm going to start off with you.

0:03:080:03:11

Now, you moved to South Africa 30 years ago.

0:03:110:03:14

Tell us about your life there. What was it like for you?

0:03:140:03:17

The African culture is beautiful, but it was harsh times,

0:03:170:03:20

-the apartheid years was finished.

-Mm-hm.

-There was Mr Mandela,

0:03:200:03:25

he came in, he was a wonderful president.

0:03:250:03:28

I did meet him on one occasion.

0:03:280:03:29

-You didn't?

-I did. In a shopping centre...

0:03:290:03:33

-Wow.

-A beautiful man.

0:03:330:03:34

He just had a presence about him.

0:03:340:03:36

That's brilliant, but tell me about what you did in South Africa,

0:03:360:03:40

because you didn't just have one set job, you were a jack of all trades?

0:03:400:03:44

I became an owner of my own guesthouse.

0:03:440:03:47

And then I designed and ran a bistro.

0:03:470:03:50

-Sounds like you spent your time in South Africa looking after everyone else.

-Yes.

0:03:500:03:53

I looked after my four daughters.

0:03:530:03:55

I raised them alone and they grew up to be beautiful young ladies.

0:03:550:04:00

-All four of them.

-Lisa, tell me, you're more of a numbers gal.

0:04:000:04:04

So tell me about that.

0:04:040:04:05

I am. I started my career in software, I was a programmer,

0:04:050:04:10

and yes, currently work for a lovely company,

0:04:100:04:14

The Training Partnership.

0:04:140:04:15

We bring out foreign students from Europe.

0:04:150:04:18

-They're loving it.

-That must be really rewarding?

-Yes.

0:04:180:04:21

So ladies, tell me about your knowledge of antiques.

0:04:210:04:23

Do you have a certain area that you collect or particularly enjoy?

0:04:230:04:27

-We're car booters.

-Yes.

0:04:270:04:28

Oh, really? You said that like you were confessing it,

0:04:280:04:31

getting it off your chest.

0:04:310:04:33

-Forgive me.

-We love a good bargain.

0:04:330:04:35

Always looking for the missing rent while something...

0:04:350:04:38

-Aren't we all?

-Yes.

-Aren't we all?

0:04:380:04:40

Listen, no-one will be able to buy anything at the fair

0:04:400:04:43

without any money, so it's £300 each,

0:04:430:04:46

-£300 to the Reds and £300 to the Blues.

-Thank you very much.

0:04:460:04:51

So off you go, get out there,

0:04:510:04:54

-the stores are waiting for you! Have fun.

-Thank you!

0:04:540:04:57

I tell you what, these guys are a bundle of fun.

0:04:570:05:00

So, our Bargain Hunters are raring to go

0:05:000:05:02

- and so are their experts.

0:05:020:05:04

Hoping to hit a high note with the Reds, it's Danny Sebastian.

0:05:050:05:09

Eight days? You only get an hour at this fair.

0:05:110:05:14

Gary Pe is off on his travels with the Blues.

0:05:140:05:17

So what are we looking for today, guys? Ollie?

0:05:200:05:22

-Ideally, a little piece of...

-INDISTINCT

0:05:220:05:25

nice period bit of silverware, that would be lovely, I think.

0:05:250:05:27

Something African.

0:05:270:05:29

African? Tribal art?

0:05:290:05:32

-Yes.

-Bit of sporting equipment, like some 100-year-old water-skis,

0:05:320:05:35

something crazy like that.

0:05:350:05:36

-JANINE:

-We're going to look for anything and everything,

0:05:360:05:39

maybe French, maybe silver, maybe weird.

0:05:390:05:42

That's a bit of a tall order, then.

0:05:420:05:44

Your 60 minutes start now.

0:05:440:05:47

-Come on.

-LISA LAUGHS

0:05:470:05:48

Let's go looking.

0:05:480:05:50

I tell you what, there's plenty of silver here,

0:05:520:05:54

as we can see, and jewellery,

0:05:540:05:56

but I've not seen any sports memorabilia yet.

0:05:560:05:59

Give yourself a break, Danny.

0:05:590:06:00

You've only been shopping for a few seconds.

0:06:000:06:03

Although the ladies have quickly spotted a screen they like.

0:06:030:06:07

That is stunning.

0:06:070:06:09

Monkey. Does it remind you a little bit of Africa?

0:06:090:06:13

But of course it's not.

0:06:130:06:14

-It's probably...

-What kind of material is this?

0:06:140:06:16

It looks like it's a bit of... Look, it's fabric.

0:06:160:06:19

-Little strands.

-Absolutely...

-That is beautiful.

-It's embroidery.

0:06:190:06:22

What is the price on that?

0:06:220:06:24

When is it from? 19th-century Japanese.

0:06:240:06:27

260.

0:06:270:06:28

-260.

-Yes.

0:06:280:06:30

That's a lot of money to spend right at the start.

0:06:300:06:33

Leaf decoration, I think, is outstanding.

0:06:330:06:36

That's beautiful, it's got a bit of...damage there.

0:06:360:06:39

Yeah, it's a bit of damage. You'd expect that, though.

0:06:390:06:41

-Yes.

-For something this old.

-This old.

0:06:410:06:43

-It probably dates from the Meiji period.

-Yes.

0:06:430:06:45

I think that's gorgeous.

0:06:450:06:47

-Let's do that.

-That could make some money.

0:06:470:06:49

I think we all like it. Shall you go find the dealer?

0:06:490:06:51

-Yes, I think we should.

-Go on, then.

0:06:510:06:53

-Good luck.

-Thank you.

0:06:530:06:56

Come on, Mum. Half price. Get it for half price,

0:06:560:06:59

we want a bargain today.

0:06:590:07:01

Well, that is what this show is all about.

0:07:030:07:05

And while we wait for a price, let's see what the Reds have found.

0:07:050:07:09

Your thoughts on this domino one?

0:07:090:07:10

Well, funnily enough, I was just looking at that domino one.

0:07:100:07:13

That's the one that caught my eye straight away.

0:07:130:07:15

No doubt, if it's catching everybody's eye,

0:07:150:07:17

it's probably got a fair price on it.

0:07:170:07:19

It's a little pillbox, which is...

0:07:190:07:20

-Still a bit practical.

-It's still quite quirky, yes.

0:07:200:07:24

We'll leave you to have a good look at the pillbox, boys

0:07:240:07:26

- as I'm desperate to hear what the Blues can get the screen for.

0:07:260:07:29

He said it would have to be 200.

0:07:290:07:32

-It would have to be 200?

-But I'm a little bit scared of going too high.

0:07:320:07:37

It's... You're right, it's early on.

0:07:370:07:39

-Yes.

-I did say we'll come back and discuss it.

-OK.

0:07:390:07:42

-Definitely.

-But certainly something that's very serious consideration.

0:07:420:07:46

-It's fascinating.

-I love it.

-That's a contender.

-OK.

0:07:460:07:48

-I saw some boxes down that way.

-OK. Well, let's go, let's go.

-Let's go and have a look.

0:07:480:07:52

So with five minutes gone,

0:07:520:07:54

the Blues have put the screen on the back burner.

0:07:540:07:57

Are the Reds going to do a deal on the domino pillbox?

0:07:570:07:59

DEALER: Well, that's an unusual piece. I've got 75 on it.

0:08:000:08:04

I can do a good deal on that.

0:08:040:08:06

-You do...

-I...

-I think we'd need a good deal on that one.

0:08:060:08:09

-The nice thing is it's different.

-It is, it did catch our eye.

0:08:090:08:12

It's a quirky different that people will go for.

0:08:120:08:15

I'm going to say one thing,

0:08:150:08:17

we've just started and straight away, you've gone in and said,

0:08:170:08:21

"I quite like that". My advice at this precise time is to...

0:08:210:08:26

-Taken a note of it, move on.

-You've got it.

0:08:260:08:29

NATASHA: They're fast learners, Danny.

0:08:290:08:31

But don't browse for too long, as time can quickly disappear.

0:08:310:08:34

Back to the Blues and Gary has found out Janine has a thing

0:08:340:08:37

for wooden boxes.

0:08:370:08:39

Both of those I think are stunning.

0:08:390:08:42

I love boxes.

0:08:420:08:44

You're a woman of very expensive taste, I think.

0:08:440:08:47

-I am indeed.

-Do you know what that is?

0:08:470:08:48

-That is bulwark.

-That's absolutely stunning.

0:08:480:08:51

Wood that's been inlaid with all this brass.

0:08:510:08:54

Oh, wow.

0:08:540:08:56

-That's original.

-Oh!

0:08:560:08:58

What did I tell you? 650.

0:08:580:09:00

But look at that, that is stunning. OK.

0:09:000:09:02

-So as beautiful as this piece is...

-As that is...

0:09:020:09:05

-We'll have to pass that one by.

-Absolutely.

0:09:050:09:08

Oh, sometimes I wish I could give our teams more cash to spend,

0:09:080:09:12

but £300 is all they get.

0:09:120:09:14

Now there's a bit of sporting memorabilia for you.

0:09:150:09:17

-I like it.

-It's all there, innit?

0:09:170:09:18

The wickets, the bails, the ball and even the pads.

0:09:180:09:21

Frank Crawford, the first to hit 200 runs in a pre-lunch session.

0:09:210:09:26

Excellent. It's got a good history, it's one-of-a-kind.

0:09:260:09:29

-Nicely presented.

-Everything's there. Do you think that could sell?

0:09:290:09:32

There's no signatures on it.

0:09:320:09:34

We want to see somebody like Ian Botham's name on it,

0:09:340:09:37

you know, so you've got two hits in one, really.

0:09:370:09:39

You've got the kit and you've also got a signature.

0:09:390:09:42

Bit heavy on the price tag there, as well.

0:09:420:09:44

175, if we got some off that, do you think it would sell?

0:09:440:09:47

I don't think at auction.

0:09:480:09:51

There's a lot left in it.

0:09:510:09:53

It would leave us a bit stumped.

0:09:530:09:54

-Oh, no!

-I like that one. I like that one.

0:09:540:09:57

Me too! I'm creasing up here.

0:09:570:09:59

Back to the Blues. And Janine is refusing to think outside the box.

0:09:590:10:04

-Oh, look at that.

-There we are.

0:10:040:10:06

Well, with mother of pearl inlaid decoration.

0:10:060:10:09

Yes, that is gorgeous.

0:10:090:10:11

-Or jewellery...

-Or jewellery, of course,

0:10:110:10:13

you could pretty much do anything with these things now.

0:10:130:10:16

That is absolutely stunning.

0:10:160:10:18

INDISTINCT SPEECH

0:10:190:10:20

You could make it so many things.

0:10:200:10:23

-Also...

-Crafts, anything.

0:10:230:10:24

..with a stunning price of 290.

0:10:240:10:27

-Yes.

-Don't forget, we haven't bought a single thing.

0:10:270:10:30

No, we haven't.

0:10:300:10:32

But hats off to you all, you're having a good look around.

0:10:320:10:36

Oh, Danny?

0:10:360:10:38

Matching? Who pulls it off better?

0:10:380:10:40

-Laurel and Hardy.

-Yeah!

0:10:400:10:42

I'm Hardy.

0:10:420:10:44

And I'm the timekeeper.

0:10:440:10:45

You've had 15 minutes.

0:10:450:10:47

How about things out of Africa?

0:10:480:10:51

-Now, this is my kind of thing.

-Wow.

0:10:510:10:53

-African tribal masks.

-Wow.

-Tribal, Gabon.

0:10:530:10:57

They're obviously from different tribes, based on the motifs

0:10:570:11:02

-and the style of carving.

-Yes...

0:11:020:11:05

That would be a fine mask, mid-20th century, about 1950s.

0:11:050:11:09

-Yes.

-That would look wonderful on someone's wall.

0:11:090:11:12

Is it my turn to ask the dealer how much it is?

0:11:120:11:14

Yes.

0:11:140:11:15

-Stay there.

-We'll leave it to you, the pro.

-I'll go.

0:11:150:11:19

Good luck, Gary. Now, what have the Reds found?

0:11:190:11:22

-I like this horn. Very cool.

-Large horn.

0:11:220:11:25

-A coach horn.

-Can you tell us a bit more about this, Danny?

0:11:250:11:27

I know one thing, it's £125 and it's very dented as well. I mean,

0:11:270:11:32

OK it's showing that it's been used,

0:11:320:11:35

it's authentic and all the rest of it. It's going to

0:11:350:11:38

have to be pristine. Showroom condition, really.

0:11:380:11:41

-OK.

-At that sort of money, and that piece is definitely not.

0:11:410:11:45

-OK.

-So the horn is staying put.

0:11:450:11:47

But will the mask be leaving with the Blues?

0:11:470:11:50

-I'm back.

-What did they say?

-The original price is about 110.

0:11:500:11:54

-OK.

-Oh!

0:11:540:11:55

He would do 85 or just slightly lower.

0:11:550:11:59

-Really?

-70?

0:11:590:12:02

That might be pushing it. So, sir, what's the death?

0:12:020:12:06

Yes, what can you do for us today?

0:12:060:12:09

What's your best on the mask?

0:12:090:12:12

I'll do it at 50 for you.

0:12:120:12:14

-Wonderful.

-There you go.

0:12:140:12:16

-Our first buy.

-First buy.

0:12:160:12:17

-Lovely.

-Excellent.

-Thank you so much.

0:12:170:12:19

-Thank you.

-Thank you, sir.

0:12:190:12:22

-Fantastic.

-Much appreciated.

0:12:220:12:24

Right, team, one down two to go.

0:12:240:12:27

-Go on.

-Let's go.

0:12:270:12:29

Bravo ladies,

0:12:290:12:30

you bought that mask on the 20 minute mark,

0:12:300:12:33

and in that time Gary has gained a couple of admirers.

0:12:330:12:37

He's got the charm as well, so...

0:12:370:12:39

He's got the charm, we love him.

0:12:390:12:41

Oh, you'll make him blush.

0:12:430:12:46

Ladies, the Japanese screen with the monkeys.

0:12:460:12:50

I think it's time we tried to seal the deal on that one, don't you think?

0:12:500:12:53

-Yes.

-Shall we do it?

0:12:530:12:55

-We know what we've got to spend, let's do it.

-Exactly.

0:12:550:12:58

-That's the way to play this game. Let's go.

-Let's go.

0:12:580:13:01

The Blues certainly know what they want,

0:13:010:13:04

I'm not sure about the Reds, though.

0:13:040:13:06

Danny, I've spotted something else

0:13:060:13:08

-that I'd be very interested in looking at.

-What have you spotted?

0:13:080:13:10

It looks like some sort of oil candle here.

0:13:100:13:12

It's quirky. I like the look of it, it's a bit different.

0:13:120:13:15

You'd put it on a table and it'd be like a lighter,

0:13:150:13:17

-so I suppose if you're smoking...

-Smoking cigars.

0:13:170:13:20

Yes, if you're smoking cigars, stuff like that.

0:13:200:13:22

-What are we talking?

-We're working hard.

0:13:220:13:24

-Right, OK.

-£125.

0:13:240:13:27

What are you thinking, Danny?

0:13:270:13:29

I'm sure the man will come down a piece,

0:13:290:13:31

but I don't think we're going to make a lot of profit on that.

0:13:310:13:33

OK, we've got to move on, we're running out of time here.

0:13:330:13:36

-We've gotta move.

-Thank you.

-Thanks very much.

-Cheers.

0:13:360:13:39

Come on, gents, we're at the halfway mark and you haven't bought a thing.

0:13:390:13:43

Meanwhile, the Blues are closing in on purchase number two.

0:13:430:13:47

-Right, it's still there.

-There's the one.

0:13:470:13:49

I think you two need to go and speak to the dealer together,

0:13:490:13:52

-You think so?

-I'll look after it.

0:13:520:13:54

-All right.

-Yes.

0:13:540:13:56

-I'll take good care of it.

-Let's go, let's go, let's go.

0:13:560:14:00

I love this, that's gorgeous.

0:14:000:14:03

Hello! We're back, Paul.

0:14:040:14:07

I think Mum's got this one in the bag,

0:14:080:14:10

and I think, yes, she's got the charm,

0:14:100:14:13

she's put it on, I think we might just have won this one.

0:14:130:14:17

-What did he say?

-190.

0:14:170:14:18

There you go. I think we've got it.

0:14:180:14:20

I'm happy with that.

0:14:200:14:22

-You're happy?

-Yes.

-Great.

0:14:220:14:23

-Super.

-Definitely.

-Two in the bag.

0:14:230:14:25

One item left.

0:14:250:14:27

-Let's go.

-No time to waste.

0:14:270:14:30

Did you hear that, boys?

0:14:300:14:32

Remember, you've got three items to buy and just 20 minutes to do it in.

0:14:320:14:36

Couple of juggling, antique juggling things.

0:14:360:14:39

Shouldn't we have three?

0:14:390:14:40

Well, Ollie's the juggler.

0:14:400:14:42

Ollie's the jugglist.

0:14:420:14:43

-Shouldn't there be three?

-Yeah, usually you'd have three!

0:14:430:14:46

There's no way I'm doing it with antique clubs, no way!

0:14:460:14:49

OK, how much are they?

0:14:490:14:50

They are £42.

0:14:510:14:53

-What do you think, Danny?

-I think they're quite nice, to be honest.

0:14:530:14:55

Got a nice patina, there's a nice colour to them.

0:14:550:14:58

They don't sound too far out, 42.

0:14:580:15:01

If we can get a little bit knocked off as well...

0:15:010:15:03

-We might be onto something.

-And I tell you what,

0:15:030:15:05

I'll count juggling as a sport

0:15:050:15:06

and that gets the difficult one out the way, doesn't it?

0:15:060:15:09

-Shall we find out what...

-Yeah, definitely.

0:15:090:15:11

..what the best the lady can do on them,

0:15:110:15:12

or a little bit more about them?

0:15:120:15:14

-Is this your stall?

-Yes, it is.

0:15:140:15:16

We're quite interested in these juggling...

0:15:160:15:19

They are actually for exercising.

0:15:190:15:21

Could you show us how they work?

0:15:210:15:23

I'd prefer not to!

0:15:230:15:25

For health and safety!

0:15:250:15:26

-Exactly.

-But I did try them out in the garden.

0:15:260:15:29

In private.

0:15:290:15:31

-Yes, so no-one could see.

-And they work?

0:15:310:15:33

If you use them for very long you'd have very good muscles in your arms.

0:15:330:15:38

The modern juggling club was actually inspired by exercise batons

0:15:380:15:42

that were made in this style.

0:15:420:15:43

Is there any movement on the price at all?

0:15:430:15:45

-Have you got the ticket?

-The ticket's just there.

0:15:450:15:47

42 for the pair.

0:15:470:15:49

I can take them down to 32.

0:15:490:15:52

We might stand a chance if they're a tad under 30.

0:15:520:15:56

I can't take them under 30.

0:15:560:15:58

Can you take them for 30 on the dot?

0:15:580:16:01

We will shake your hand right now.

0:16:010:16:03

-DEALER:

-I can do it for 30.

0:16:030:16:04

Wonderful. Thank you very much.

0:16:040:16:06

-You're welcome.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

0:16:060:16:09

-All right.

-Thanks very much, lovely.

0:16:090:16:11

-Cheers.

-That's the first buy!

-We got em!

0:16:110:16:12

You've taken your time, though.

0:16:120:16:14

There's only quarter of an hour left on the clock

0:16:140:16:16

and you have two items to find. Avoid boxes, though.

0:16:160:16:19

The Blues have that covered.

0:16:190:16:21

Oh, boxes!

0:16:210:16:25

I don't know what it... Look at this one.

0:16:250:16:27

Oh, isn't that sweet?

0:16:270:16:29

What is it? Is that "Corrento" or Sorrento?

0:16:290:16:32

Sorrento. Yes, Sorrento ware, from Italy.

0:16:320:16:35

Book box. Puzzle box.

0:16:350:16:36

The age of that one?

0:16:360:16:38

That would be 1920s, 1930s.

0:16:380:16:41

It's got a little bit of damage, is that damage?

0:16:410:16:44

Yes, that is damage. A little chip, that's OK, that's fine.

0:16:440:16:48

And on the side as well.

0:16:480:16:49

Anything that old will have a bit of wear.

0:16:490:16:52

Let's have a look at some silver. We're going off the beat.

0:16:520:16:56

You best get a move on, teams, as your time will be gone soon,

0:16:560:16:59

or should I say gong soon?

0:16:590:17:01

I love it. I would buy that if I was here, that is brilliant.

0:17:010:17:05

You can bang it when dinner's ready.

0:17:050:17:08

-It's practical.

-That is not practical!

0:17:080:17:10

A dinner gong. Danny, could it sell at an auction?

0:17:100:17:12

Yes, I'd imagine so. Do you want to enquire about it?

0:17:120:17:15

-You like this.

-I love it, I love it.

0:17:150:17:16

Can this work? You're saying you love it,

0:17:160:17:19

you're saying you hate it, Ollie.

0:17:190:17:20

-We've come to that...

-Is it that time?

0:17:200:17:22

-That struggle already.

-I feel like I can talk you around.

0:17:220:17:25

-OK.

-You do know it's £185?

0:17:250:17:28

If we can get that to say maybe 130...

0:17:280:17:30

-120.

-120.

0:17:300:17:32

-I love a gamble. Get it to 120.

-Yeah. We'll talk at 120.

0:17:320:17:36

OK, I think we need to talk to the dealer, then, Danny.

0:17:360:17:38

-I'll try my best.

-OK.

0:17:380:17:39

-Keep admiring it, give us a couple of minutes.

-All right, OK.

0:17:390:17:42

I love it. I love it.

0:17:420:17:45

Gongs were traditionally made in the Far East, and the larger the gong,

0:17:450:17:49

the softer the hammer.

0:17:490:17:50

But has Danny been able to hammer down the price?

0:17:500:17:52

-What's the damage, Danny?

-There's a sale going on here.

0:17:520:17:55

-Really?

-We can get that for 90 quid.

0:17:550:17:57

-Seriously?!

-Seriously.

0:17:570:17:59

-We're getting it.

-I can't say no.

0:17:590:18:00

-You've got it for less than half price.

-About 1920.

0:18:000:18:02

Don't tell everyone, we'll keep that secret.

0:18:020:18:05

But we've got a deal, thank you.

0:18:050:18:07

-Can I gong it?

-Absolutely, it's yours now.

0:18:070:18:09

I'm going to gong it.

0:18:090:18:11

GONG SOUNDS

0:18:110:18:12

So Nathan and Ollie got the gong for a song with ten minutes to go.

0:18:120:18:16

But someone's not quite struck on it.

0:18:160:18:18

I am actually speechless. Such a terrible purchase!

0:18:180:18:21

We've only got ten minutes left, so I think we should crack on,

0:18:210:18:24

-get your silver and then we're done. Yeah?

-Yeah.

0:18:240:18:27

I'll turn this shipwreck around!

0:18:270:18:31

We'll have to wait and see if your items run aground at

0:18:310:18:33

the auction, gents. Back to the Blues,

0:18:330:18:36

and is there going to be a mutiny over a fruit knife?

0:18:360:18:39

I don't think it's very attractive.

0:18:390:18:41

You don't think it's attractive?

0:18:410:18:43

-No.

-I think the mother-of-pearl, and it's silver, it's 1866.

0:18:430:18:47

That's the age, isn't it?

0:18:470:18:48

-Yes.

-But as you can see, it's been used and worn and bent.

0:18:480:18:54

What would the best price be on this, sir?

0:18:540:18:56

I can do that for £8.

0:18:560:18:58

Eight? I think that's a little winner.

0:18:580:19:01

I think you're a star!

0:19:010:19:03

I do, too!

0:19:030:19:05

I love you!

0:19:050:19:06

-Have we done it?

-I think so!

0:19:060:19:08

Have we bought items one, two, three?

0:19:080:19:11

-Little bit of silver! We have.

-The silver bit, there you go.

0:19:110:19:14

-That's a deal. Thank you very, very much.

-Thank you, Mike, thank you.

0:19:140:19:18

Wonderful, thank you.

0:19:180:19:20

-You get a nice little bag.

-Oh, you're a star.

0:19:200:19:23

Thank you so much.

0:19:230:19:25

Team, you've done me proud.

0:19:260:19:29

Say that on auction day!

0:19:320:19:33

Shall we do the dance?

0:19:330:19:35

Yes. With a bump, with a bump.

0:19:350:19:37

The scores are in, and you get full marks for finishing first, Blues.

0:19:370:19:41

The Reds have found some silver,

0:19:410:19:43

but they only have five minutes to make a decision.

0:19:430:19:45

Well, the sovereign case will always sell,

0:19:450:19:50

they are always very collectable.

0:19:500:19:52

There's no monogram, it's in very, very good condition. Made in 1912,

0:19:520:19:57

so just before the First World War,

0:19:570:19:59

and the loop is often to go onto an Albert chain and be put into

0:19:590:20:04

the waistcoat pocket, so you've always got some money with you.

0:20:040:20:08

Silver and gold is just so collectable.

0:20:080:20:11

Don't like the price on it, mind you, but there's room for movement,

0:20:110:20:15

I'm sure. It's marked up at £185.

0:20:150:20:18

I'm sure we can do something about that.

0:20:180:20:20

I would be happy to sell that to you for 160.

0:20:200:20:23

-160.

-I work on small margins

0:20:230:20:25

but good quality items,

0:20:250:20:27

and it will realise that at auction most days of the week.

0:20:270:20:32

Are we able to squeeze just a few more pounds out of that

0:20:320:20:35

to give us a good chance at the auction?

0:20:350:20:37

Can you go 150 for three boys running out of time?

0:20:370:20:41

Look, 150, I'm happy with.

0:20:410:20:42

-Thank you very much.

-We're there? We're there.

0:20:420:20:44

-Cheers.

-That's it, teams, your 60 minutes are up.

0:20:440:20:47

Well done, guys. Well done.

0:20:470:20:50

Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.

0:20:500:20:52

The boys took 40 minutes to buy the wooden batons.

0:20:540:20:57

They cost £30.

0:20:570:20:58

Danny hammered down the price and got this gong for £90.

0:21:000:21:03

And, with minutes to spare,

0:21:050:21:06

they splashed out on this silver sovereign case, £150 paid.

0:21:060:21:10

Well, Nathan and Ollie, you put Danny through his paces.

0:21:120:21:15

You did get there in the end!

0:21:150:21:16

Now, out of all three items, which, Nathan, is your favourite?

0:21:160:21:20

I have a feeling I know what you're going to say!

0:21:200:21:22

-I love the gong!

-The gong!

-I love it, I love it.

0:21:220:21:24

What a discount, as well!

0:21:240:21:25

Yeah, Danny's pulled a miracle out there.

0:21:250:21:28

Ollie, do you agree, is the gong...?

0:21:280:21:29

-Absolutely not.

-No! OK!

0:21:290:21:31

That is going to be a catastrophic loss.

0:21:310:21:33

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

0:21:330:21:36

I think the biggest profit will turn on the silver.

0:21:360:21:39

Now, you spent pretty big, £270.

0:21:390:21:42

I must say, I'm very proud of you both, good work. So who's got £30?

0:21:420:21:45

I do, yeah.

0:21:450:21:47

Well, you won't have it for long

0:21:470:21:48

-because I'm going to give it to Danny.

-Thank you.

0:21:480:21:50

What are you going to do with such a paltry sum?

0:21:500:21:52

I'm not really sure, to be honest,

0:21:520:21:54

but there's plenty out there, so I know I'll get something.

0:21:540:21:58

Well, I'm sure Danny knows what he's doing,

0:21:580:22:00

so while he's off getting the bonus buy,

0:22:000:22:02

let's remind ourselves what the Blue team bought.

0:22:020:22:05

The African tribal mask called out to them in the first few minutes.

0:22:050:22:09

£50 paid.

0:22:090:22:10

The Blues fell in love with this Oriental-style screen

0:22:120:22:14

and paid the price.

0:22:140:22:16

It cost them £190.

0:22:160:22:18

Finally, the 19th-century fruit knife was only £8,

0:22:200:22:23

but will it be a bad apple?

0:22:230:22:25

So, Janine, Lisa, Gary, which is your favourite?

0:22:260:22:31

My favourite is the Asian screen, it's beautiful.

0:22:310:22:35

So do you think that screen's going to make the most money?

0:22:350:22:37

I think it may be the little knife.

0:22:370:22:40

It's worth it.

0:22:400:22:41

OK, so, Janine, you went from Africa to Asia to England.

0:22:410:22:45

Which continent is your money on for the biggest profit?

0:22:450:22:48

It's the Japanese screen.

0:22:480:22:49

-OK.

-I love it, I loved it.

0:22:490:22:52

-So did I.

-What did you spend in total?

0:22:520:22:55

£248.

0:22:550:22:57

-We went shopping!

-Which leaves 52.

0:22:570:23:00

-OK, who's got it? I bet you've got it, Lisa.

-I do.

0:23:000:23:04

Thank you. That's perfect.

0:23:040:23:05

I will do the very same to Gary.

0:23:050:23:08

Gary, £52.

0:23:080:23:09

Thank you very much.

0:23:090:23:11

Now, you weren't up against time during the shop

0:23:110:23:14

and now you've got even more to look for a bonus buy!

0:23:140:23:16

What are you thinking?

0:23:160:23:18

Well, I might have found something that's perfect

0:23:180:23:21

for a cold winter's night.

0:23:210:23:23

It will certainly warm your hearts...

0:23:230:23:26

I hope it's not a water bottle!

0:23:260:23:28

..and perhaps some other body part!

0:23:280:23:30

-But, anyway...!

-Well, Gary's certainly got us intrigued here.

0:23:300:23:34

Of course, the auction looms large, but before we head there,

0:23:340:23:37

I'm off to Axminster,

0:23:370:23:39

where I'm hoping they'll have rolled out the red carpet.

0:23:390:23:42

Elaborate floor coverings were once only afforded by wealthy aristocrats,

0:23:460:23:51

but machinery efficiencies during the 18th and 19th centuries

0:23:510:23:55

would ultimately reduce production costs,

0:23:550:23:57

so making them available to a larger market.

0:23:570:24:00

The Devon town of Axminster is known worldwide for its legendary carpets.

0:24:000:24:05

It all began in 1755,

0:24:060:24:08

when local clockmaker Thomas Whitty was inspired by the colourful patterns

0:24:080:24:12

of Turkish carpets and set out to recreate them.

0:24:120:24:15

Of course, Whitty needed a factory where he could bring his carpet

0:24:170:24:21

creations to life, and it was on this very site that production began.

0:24:210:24:25

Lawrence Hitchcock is a local historian who can tell me more about Witty

0:24:290:24:33

and how he made carpet making an art form.

0:24:330:24:36

This carpet is an absolute masterpiece by the looks of things so, please,

0:24:370:24:41

tell me of its history.

0:24:410:24:43

Well, it was made in 1769, on this site,

0:24:430:24:46

and it was laid at Rockbeare Manor, just outside Exeter,

0:24:460:24:50

and it has been there for 247 years,

0:24:500:24:53

until it has now come home, to where it was made.

0:24:530:24:56

Whitty's competitors used horizontal looms,

0:24:560:24:59

but he invented a vertical loom,

0:24:590:25:01

which allowed weavers to tie knots faster

0:25:010:25:04

and make the carpets more quickly.

0:25:040:25:06

How involved would he have been in the process?

0:25:060:25:08

Design only or actual manufacture?

0:25:080:25:11

He was very involved because he invented the Axminster weave,

0:25:110:25:15

the Axminster knot, so he would have been actually weaving to start with.

0:25:150:25:20

These carpets received a royal seal of approval.

0:25:200:25:23

Yes, George III visited the factory here with the queen

0:25:230:25:26

and the princesses, and they ordered some carpet from him,

0:25:260:25:30

which wouldn't have done his business any harm at all.

0:25:300:25:32

They became the must-have thing.

0:25:320:25:34

Whitty was a master craftsman and savvy businessman.

0:25:360:25:39

But in 1792, at the height of his success, Whitty died.

0:25:390:25:43

Production continued, but in 1828, tragedy struck again

0:25:470:25:51

when fire destroyed the factory.

0:25:510:25:53

Sadly, the business couldn't recover and went bankrupt.

0:25:550:25:59

But in 1937, carpet making began in Axminster once again.

0:26:010:26:06

And at this factory they have a special team

0:26:090:26:12

who replicate carpets that Whitty made

0:26:120:26:14

to replace originals of his that have been damaged beyond repair.

0:26:140:26:17

Gary Bridge is the man in charge.

0:26:170:26:20

But how do you, as design director, reproduce these,

0:26:210:26:24

now they are hundreds of years old?

0:26:240:26:26

We go on site, we'll take some photographs,

0:26:260:26:29

then we'll do some tracings and we colour match it.

0:26:290:26:32

We will take along a selection of colours

0:26:320:26:34

and then bring the designs back here and then check it that we have got

0:26:340:26:37

all the details that was in the original.

0:26:370:26:40

At Windsor Castle,

0:26:400:26:41

Thomas Whitty's carpets were laid proudly in state rooms,

0:26:410:26:45

but they were destroyed when the castle was ravaged by fire in 1992.

0:26:450:26:50

However, Gary's team were able to recreate them.

0:26:500:26:54

And they are replicating Whitty's carpets at other iconic buildings as well.

0:26:560:27:00

At Brighton Pavilion,

0:27:000:27:02

only a small fragment of their original Whitty carpet has survived,

0:27:020:27:06

so how will Gary bring it back to life?

0:27:060:27:09

They were quite fortunate, we've got a section of the original painting.

0:27:090:27:12

So that was hand-painted by Thomas Whitty?

0:27:120:27:14

By Thomas Whitty, in the 18th century.

0:27:140:27:16

Wow, what a resource.

0:27:160:27:18

Using Whitty's original drawing for inspiration,

0:27:180:27:21

Gary and his team have created this template of Brighton Pavilion's Thomas Whitty carpet.

0:27:210:27:27

When people walk into the room, they don't want to see a new carpet,

0:27:270:27:29

they want to think that they are walking on the original carpet.

0:27:290:27:32

You've got to put in all the little handmade mistakes and idiosyncrasies

0:27:320:27:35

within the carpet, so our job is to put all these little things back into

0:27:350:27:38

the carpet to make it look like it was hundreds of years ago.

0:27:380:27:40

-So the perfection is in the imperfection.

-Absolutely.

0:27:400:27:43

Back on the factory floor,

0:27:430:27:45

reproductions are created using computerised looms,

0:27:450:27:48

but they are all checked by hand.

0:27:480:27:50

By combining all the original methods and new technology,

0:27:500:27:54

the genius of Whitty's craftsmanship can be recaptured

0:27:540:27:57

for future generations.

0:27:570:28:00

And I'm sure Thomas Whitty would be extremely pleased about that.

0:28:000:28:04

But now it's time for the auction.

0:28:080:28:10

Well, we're still in the south-west, but we've headed a little east,

0:28:100:28:14

so now we're in Honiton, at Whitten's Auction house,

0:28:140:28:16

with Mr Whitten himself, Edward.

0:28:160:28:18

Hello, thank you for having us along.

0:28:180:28:19

-Thank you, thank you for coming.

-It's great to be here.

0:28:190:28:22

We're going to start off with the Red team.

0:28:220:28:24

I love that they bought these juggling pins.

0:28:240:28:25

-Yeah.

-What do you make of them? Have you sold these before at auction?

0:28:250:28:28

No, never sold a pair in my auction house here.

0:28:280:28:31

A bit unusual, a bit of worm in them I see, which doesn't help them.

0:28:310:28:35

What do you reckon your buyers are going to make of them?

0:28:350:28:37

Have they been juggling around on the view?

0:28:370:28:40

Have you been keeping an eye on them?

0:28:400:28:41

Yes, there's been strong, heavy viewing this week,

0:28:410:28:43

so it's quite optimistic on the sale full stop, as it is.

0:28:430:28:46

So tell me, if you think they are going to be quite popular,

0:28:460:28:49

what estimate have you put on the juggling pins?

0:28:490:28:51

The juggling pins, I've put 30 to 50 on.

0:28:510:28:53

OK, that's not too bad because the guys paid £30.

0:28:530:28:55

-There you go.

-Not too shabby.

-No.

-Right, let's move on.

0:28:550:28:59

This gong, I mean, Nathan absolutely loved it.

0:28:590:29:03

They had to have it. What kind of age do you reckon it is, Edward?

0:29:030:29:06

It's 1920s, 1940s.

0:29:060:29:09

It's got a few later additions.

0:29:090:29:10

The handles don't match on the top.

0:29:100:29:13

But it's a big, showy piece.

0:29:130:29:15

It is a bit of a show stopper, isn't it?

0:29:150:29:17

-Absolutely, yes.

-And do you reckon it's going to bring

0:29:170:29:19

a good hammer price? What sort of estimate have you put on it?

0:29:190:29:22

60 to 80.

0:29:220:29:23

Oh, well, at £90 the boys paid,

0:29:230:29:25

you wouldn't think it was a bargain for them, then?

0:29:250:29:27

No. A bit optimistic, I'm afraid.

0:29:270:29:29

Then the last thing, this tiny, little bit of silver.

0:29:290:29:32

-Yeah.

-But it's not a novelty, it's quite practical, isn't it,

0:29:320:29:34

-this sort of piece?

-Yes, typical sovereign case of its type.

0:29:340:29:38

It's a nice clean, nice gauge to it, not engraved with initials,

0:29:380:29:42

nicely marked, and quite saleable.

0:29:420:29:44

-What kind of estimate have you put on it?

-£80 to 100.

0:29:440:29:47

OK, well, the lads will be hoping for a wee bit more

0:29:470:29:50

because they paid 150 for it, actually.

0:29:500:29:52

We'll see what happens.

0:29:520:29:54

So it looks as though Edward might think the Reds will need

0:29:540:29:57

their bonus buy. Let's find out what it is.

0:29:570:30:00

Ollie, Nathan, you left Danny very little, only £30.

0:30:000:30:04

Are you starting to regret that now?

0:30:040:30:06

No, I've got all the faith in him.

0:30:060:30:08

OK, pull that red cloth off and let's see.

0:30:080:30:11

Oh, wow, look at that.

0:30:110:30:12

-Look at the finish on that.

-Can I hold it?

0:30:120:30:14

-Absolutely.

-What is it, Danny?

0:30:140:30:16

It's a bottle crate holder.

0:30:160:30:18

Generally you see them carrying six.

0:30:180:30:20

This one carries ten.

0:30:200:30:21

This kind of roughly French kind of look, very, very in.

0:30:210:30:26

So I've got a feeling this is going to fly at the auction.

0:30:260:30:29

How old is it, do we think?

0:30:290:30:31

Round about 1950s.

0:30:310:30:32

-OK.

-Ollie, what do you think about it?

0:30:320:30:34

I think it's a shame it's empty, Danny.

0:30:340:30:36

We could have done with a few nice bottles of champagne in there,

0:30:360:30:39

-but never mind.

-Probably wouldn't have got it for 30 quid then,

0:30:390:30:41

and I think that's 30 well spent.

0:30:410:30:43

So what do you think it could fetch?

0:30:430:30:45

Well, obviously the saleroom is going to be online,

0:30:450:30:47

so I mean this can go anywhere, really.

0:30:470:30:49

Interior designers, they like this kind of rustic look.

0:30:490:30:52

So I've got a feeling that this is

0:30:520:30:54

going to make strong money at auction.

0:30:540:30:57

OK, well, Danny is relying on the weather, let's see if Edward,

0:30:570:31:01

the auctioneer, thinks he can rely on his buyers to be interested in

0:31:010:31:04

the wine crate.

0:31:040:31:06

So, Edward, here's Danny's choice.

0:31:060:31:09

It's quite a cool thing, but, I mean,

0:31:090:31:11

how much competition do you think this is going to get in the auction room?

0:31:110:31:15

Not a great deal, if I'm honest.

0:31:150:31:17

But there's a lot of the shops in Honiton will buy things like this,

0:31:170:31:20

just stand outside their front door. It's a good window dressing item.

0:31:200:31:23

And what do you reckon they'll pay for it?

0:31:230:31:25

-What's the estimate?

-£25 to £30.

0:31:250:31:27

Well, Danny did pay the top end of the estimate, £30,

0:31:270:31:30

so all hope is not lost.

0:31:300:31:31

-Absolutely.

-OK.

0:31:310:31:33

Let's move on to the Blue team and the first thing they bought was

0:31:330:31:36

something that they really wanted, an African mask.

0:31:360:31:40

-Yeah, well...

-What do you make of this example?

0:31:400:31:42

Well, no home is complete without one. Typical of its type.

0:31:420:31:45

It's a typical Internet buying item.

0:31:450:31:49

OK, so you reckon it's going to go to maybe an international buyer,

0:31:490:31:52

-or...

-Yeah, I don't think it'll stay locally, personally.

0:31:520:31:54

Listen, you never know. You never know.

0:31:540:31:56

You don't, you can't tell.

0:31:560:31:57

Now, one thing you might know is what you reckon they'll pay for it,

0:31:570:32:00

so what's your estimate?

0:32:000:32:01

-20 to 30.

-20 to 30 for the mask.

0:32:010:32:03

OK, well, they paid £50 for it.

0:32:030:32:05

There's hope for that, actually, to be fair.

0:32:050:32:07

Not too bad, I'm sure you will try your very best.

0:32:070:32:10

-Absolutely.

-So item number two, this stand behind you,

0:32:100:32:14

the screen cum stand cum tapestry.

0:32:140:32:17

What do you make of it?

0:32:170:32:18

Well, the bamboo effect is quite saleable.

0:32:180:32:21

The monkey and animals is quite a saleable item, I think.

0:32:210:32:24

I mean, condition isn't great.

0:32:240:32:25

The condition isn't great.

0:32:250:32:27

There's a slight damage to it, but the woodwork and the stand is fine,

0:32:270:32:30

and I think it's quite a saleable item.

0:32:300:32:32

Me too. I think it's really cool. OK, saying that,

0:32:320:32:34

tell me, what estimate have you got on it?

0:32:340:32:36

One to 150, I'm afraid.

0:32:360:32:37

One to 150, OK, so bearing in mind they were in a retail environment,

0:32:370:32:40

the team paid £190.

0:32:400:32:42

Yeah, I still think that could actually, that could do that.

0:32:420:32:45

It would be great if it got £200, they would be so chuffed.

0:32:450:32:48

And then, next item is this MOP fruit knife.

0:32:480:32:52

I mean, it's got its hallmarks, but perhaps it's seen better days.

0:32:520:32:55

It has. The blade is quite thin, quite whippy, bent at the end.

0:32:550:32:59

Been used, it was probably a screwdriver at some point, to be honest.

0:32:590:33:03

But the MOP, mother of pearl is in good condition

0:33:030:33:06

and it's nice, clear marks, but it's a fruit knife.

0:33:060:33:09

They are sweet things. They always sell, don't they?

0:33:090:33:11

-Yeah.

-So when you see one of these you probably have a set estimate

0:33:110:33:14

-in mind.

-Yeah.

-So what is it?

-It's 10-15 quid.

0:33:140:33:16

-Pounds.

-Always 10 to £15, isn't it?

0:33:160:33:18

-Yeah, yeah.

-Well, guess what, they only paid £8.

0:33:180:33:21

-There you go.

-So there could be a profit in it.

-Absolutely.

0:33:210:33:24

-Most likely there will be.

-Yes, definitely.

0:33:240:33:26

OK, so it's really all about this screen, isn't it?

0:33:260:33:28

-Yeah.

-And if that falls flat on its face,

0:33:280:33:30

then they are going to need their bonus buy.

0:33:300:33:32

So let's find out what Gary bought for the Blues.

0:33:320:33:35

So, Janine, Lisa, you spent so much money during the fair,

0:33:360:33:39

you hardly left Gary anything.

0:33:390:33:41

Just £52, to be precise.

0:33:410:33:43

52 is what you had, Gary.

0:33:430:33:44

What did you spend it on?

0:33:440:33:46

-Come on.

-Well, I promised something heart-warming.

0:33:460:33:48

-Yes.

-So what do you think?

0:33:480:33:50

It's a warmer of some sort.

0:33:500:33:52

It's a foot warmer, late Victorian or early 20th century.

0:33:520:33:57

You'd fill it up on the inside with burning coal.

0:33:570:34:02

-That is so cute.

-And is that in good condition, Gary, for what it is?

0:34:020:34:06

Yes, and look at the detail.

0:34:060:34:08

It's got embossed birds with leaves on them.

0:34:080:34:11

-Beautiful.

-That's very pretty.

0:34:110:34:13

So did you spend the 52, or just the £2?

0:34:130:34:16

I tell you what. I spent...

0:34:160:34:18

£25.

0:34:180:34:20

-Whoa!

-Now we know what Gary spent on it,

0:34:200:34:23

but you want to know if there's going to be any competition

0:34:230:34:25

-in the auction.

-Yes.

0:34:250:34:27

How much do you reckon it's going to make, Gary?

0:34:270:34:29

Well, I think there's an upward movement of about 15 quid,

0:34:290:34:33

-turn a profit at least.

-That sounds good enough.

0:34:330:34:36

I think that's going to make a nice profit, Gary.

0:34:360:34:38

Yes. And does this warm your heart?

0:34:380:34:41

-Yes.

-Warms my cockles.

0:34:410:34:43

-It does.

-There you go.

0:34:430:34:44

Well, the ladies have definitely warmed to Gary's bonus buy.

0:34:440:34:47

Let's find out what Ed, our auctioneer, thinks.

0:34:470:34:50

Well, Edward, would you have this in your house

0:34:510:34:54

-to keep your tootsies toasty?

-Absolutely not, I'm afraid.

0:34:540:34:57

It's quite a novelty item.

0:34:570:34:58

It looks nice. It's nicely decorated with flowers and birds.

0:34:580:35:01

It's quite fun. I mean, the thing is, foot warmer,

0:35:010:35:04

-how practical is it?

-Absolutely.

-Are people buying it, for what purpose?

0:35:040:35:07

It's just a decorator's item these days.

0:35:070:35:09

So pretty as it is, it's not exactly the most practical item,

0:35:090:35:12

so what's the estimate?

0:35:120:35:14

-20 to 30.

-OK, well, Gary spent 25 on it,

0:35:140:35:18

so fingers crossed he'll do all right.

0:35:180:35:20

-Yeah, yeah, I'm quite happy with that.

-OK, well,

0:35:200:35:23

we always ask for a variety on Bargain Hunt, and we certainly have it with

0:35:230:35:26

these items, so will you look forward to selling them on the rostrum?

0:35:260:35:29

-Yeah.

-Well, I look forward to seeing you in action.

-Thank you.

0:35:290:35:33

-Nathan, Ollie, how are you? How are you feeling?

-Good.

0:35:390:35:43

Good, yeah. I think we've got three, maybe four, good items, so we'll see.

0:35:430:35:47

Hopefully there's a couple of clowns in

0:35:470:35:49

because the first lot is the juggling pins.

0:35:490:35:51

-Yes, yes, yes.

-Gents, here they come now.

0:35:510:35:54

Next we go to 409, juggling pins.

0:35:540:35:56

£30 for these.

0:35:560:35:58

20 I have, 20.

0:35:580:35:59

-He's got 20.

-22. 22,

0:35:590:36:02

four, six, 26.

0:36:020:36:04

28, and 30.

0:36:040:36:06

And two, at 32, four, at 34 now, on commission at 34,

0:36:060:36:12

top end of the commission now.

0:36:120:36:14

At £34, that's it though, I'm afraid, at 34.

0:36:140:36:17

Smashing.

0:36:170:36:19

-One down.

-Well done.

0:36:190:36:21

-Solid profit.

-£4 profit.

0:36:210:36:22

-That's two quid each.

-That's a coffee on the way home.

0:36:220:36:25

Second item though, your second biggest splurge.

0:36:250:36:28

-This is the one.

-It's the gong.

-This is the one.

-Oh, my gong.

0:36:280:36:31

OK, 410, large dinner gong.

0:36:310:36:33

Good showy piece. I want 60 for this.

0:36:330:36:36

-60.

-Come on.

0:36:360:36:37

60, 65, 70.

0:36:370:36:39

It's at 70 on the internet.

0:36:390:36:41

At 72, 75.

0:36:410:36:43

At 75.

0:36:430:36:44

At 75. We are selling at 75.

0:36:440:36:47

At 80. At £80, and two, anywhere else?

0:36:470:36:50

At £80 and that's where it stops.

0:36:500:36:52

-At £80.

-Going, going, gong.

0:36:520:36:54

-They've got a bargain.

-So that's -10,

0:36:560:36:59

which means that you are now -6 overall.

0:36:590:37:02

£150 spent on the sovereign case,

0:37:020:37:04

so fingers crossed it makes loads of dosh.

0:37:040:37:06

411 for the sovereign case.

0:37:060:37:08

80, at 80, five, 90, 90, 100, we are at 100.

0:37:080:37:13

Three figures now. At 100, 100, at 110, 120, 130 I'll take, at £120.

0:37:130:37:21

We are selling at 120, 30, anywhere else?

0:37:210:37:24

At 120.

0:37:240:37:25

-ALL:

-Oh!

0:37:250:37:27

-OK, right.

-After your three lots, you are -£36.

0:37:270:37:31

That's all right.

0:37:310:37:32

So the question I have to ask is,

0:37:320:37:34

are you going to go with Danny's bonus buy?

0:37:340:37:36

No doubt about it. We go with it.

0:37:360:37:38

-We absolutely have to.

-We've got faith in you, Danny.

0:37:380:37:40

I'm glad you have, you need it.

0:37:400:37:42

Danny paid £30. You're -36.

0:37:420:37:44

So a lot of work to do, do you think it can do it?

0:37:440:37:46

-I think it can do it.

-OK, here we go.

0:37:460:37:48

I think it's going to make 50, £60.

0:37:480:37:51

Well, fingers crossed. Gents, here it comes.

0:37:510:37:53

Next, 417.

0:37:530:37:54

Unusual, the wine crate here.

0:37:540:37:56

25 I've got, the estimate.

0:37:560:37:58

25, 28, 30, two, five, 40, five, 50.

0:37:580:38:05

-Come on.

-£50 I'm bid here.

0:38:050:38:08

At £50.

0:38:080:38:10

Thank you.

0:38:100:38:11

Danny, well played.

0:38:110:38:13

-Oh, good work.

-You saviour.

-Yeah.

0:38:130:38:15

Sold for 50, which means Danny made a profit of 20, so overall,

0:38:150:38:20

still slightly in the red.

0:38:200:38:22

-16.

0:38:220:38:24

£16 loss.

0:38:240:38:25

-That's excellent.

-It's all right, but remember, this is a competition,

0:38:250:38:28

so don't get too excited about your loss.

0:38:280:38:30

-OK.

-However, you've seen Bargain Hunt before,

0:38:300:38:33

-it could be a winning score.

-Absolutely.

0:38:330:38:35

But not a word to the Blues. Keep it to yourselves, all right?

0:38:350:38:38

Lisa, Janine, Gary.

0:38:430:38:46

You feeling confident? You had a little dance you were doing.

0:38:460:38:49

It's the African dance.

0:38:490:38:53

-Oh, hold on.

-And the welly boot dance.

0:38:530:38:55

Gary has got that down particularly, I would say, yeah.

0:38:550:38:58

That's good.

0:38:580:38:59

Now, Janine, you were not convinced about this tribal mask,

0:38:590:39:02

but Gary and Lisa were all over it, so it's the first one up.

0:39:020:39:06

Here it comes.

0:39:060:39:07

Lot 447, tribal mask here, we want £40 for this one.

0:39:070:39:11

Who's 40? 30, then.

0:39:110:39:13

20 I'm bid, I've got £20, at 20, and two, that's it, 22.

0:39:130:39:18

At 22, 24. 24, 26, 28,

0:39:180:39:23

-28 in the room.

-Come on.

-28, at £30.

0:39:230:39:26

Who's going to throw in two?

0:39:260:39:27

At £30, 32 now.

0:39:270:39:29

32, last bid.

0:39:290:39:31

At 32, 34.

0:39:310:39:33

Now 34 for the mask here.

0:39:330:39:34

It's here with me on the internet at 34.

0:39:340:39:37

Selling at 34, 34, last chance.

0:39:370:39:40

OK, 34.

0:39:400:39:42

That's not so bad.

0:39:420:39:44

-Ladies, that means you've made a small loss of £16.

-Small.

0:39:440:39:47

But here comes the hardwood stand.

0:39:470:39:49

Are you ready? £190 paid.

0:39:490:39:52

Next is the hardwood stand.

0:39:520:39:54

Good stand here, slight damage, but good showy item.

0:39:540:39:59

£100, 80 then I'm bid, at 80, at 80 to start me, and five.

0:39:590:40:04

-85.

-He's off now.

0:40:040:40:05

85, and 90.

0:40:050:40:07

And five, at 95.

0:40:070:40:10

The bid is with me at 95.

0:40:100:40:11

Would be nice to get three figures.

0:40:110:40:13

Anywhere 100 now?

0:40:130:40:14

Who can make it 110?

0:40:140:40:16

At £100 here, ten I'll take off anyone at all.

0:40:160:40:20

At £100.

0:40:200:40:22

100.

0:40:230:40:25

Ladies, that's a loss of £90.

0:40:250:40:29

You are now three figures in debt, £106.

0:40:290:40:32

So it's all to play for.

0:40:320:40:34

We've got the silver bladed fruit knife.

0:40:340:40:37

You only paid £8 for it, so surely a profit is coming your way.

0:40:370:40:40

Next, little fruit knife here.

0:40:400:40:43

£15. 12.

0:40:430:40:45

Ten and then, ten I'm bid.

0:40:450:40:47

At ten, and 12 now, we've got 12.

0:40:470:40:49

12, 12 in the seat next to you.

0:40:490:40:52

At 12, £12 here.

0:40:520:40:53

Where's 14? At £12, for the fruit knife, 14 I'll take, at £12 then,

0:40:530:40:59

selling at £12.

0:40:590:41:01

OK.

0:41:010:41:03

We should celebrate the little victories.

0:41:030:41:05

£12, so that's plus four.

0:41:050:41:07

Ladies, overall...

0:41:070:41:09

you're -£102.

0:41:090:41:12

There is a question I need to ask you.

0:41:120:41:14

Do you want to go with the bonus buy?

0:41:140:41:16

We do, I do, yes.

0:41:160:41:19

-You're sure?

-We are, definitely.

0:41:190:41:20

You ready for this? We're going with the bonus buy, and here it comes.

0:41:200:41:23

We trust you, Gary.

0:41:230:41:24

Next is 455, and I've got bids in at 20, 22, 24,

0:41:240:41:30

one is out at 26.

0:41:300:41:32

So we're back in at 28.

0:41:320:41:34

28 here for the foot warmer.

0:41:340:41:37

At 28.

0:41:370:41:38

No home's complete without one.

0:41:380:41:40

At £28 here, at £28, 30, anywhere else?

0:41:400:41:45

At £28. 30 I'll take, at 28.

0:41:450:41:48

-That's gone.

-28.

0:41:480:41:51

Again, well bought.

0:41:510:41:53

But guess what?

0:41:530:41:54

Gary's profit takes you out of

0:41:540:41:56

a three figure loss. -99.

0:41:560:41:58

Sounds better than -102.

0:41:590:42:02

-99.

0:42:020:42:03

-That's not too bad then, is it?

-It's not too bad!

0:42:030:42:07

Well, teams.

0:42:130:42:15

Reds, Blues, experts, today, I will be handing no money to anybody.

0:42:150:42:21

Not a penny between you.

0:42:210:42:23

So today's runners-up, losing just a little bit more...

0:42:230:42:28

..the Blues.

0:42:290:42:31

I tell you what, you should all be

0:42:350:42:38

pleased with your performances, but extra pleased with your experts,

0:42:380:42:42

because Gary swooped in and made you a full £3 of profit,

0:42:420:42:48

taking you from £102 under to 99, so well done, ladies.

0:42:480:42:54

So, Reds, today's winners.

0:42:540:42:56

How good is that? Valiant winners.

0:42:560:42:59

At only a loss of £16.

0:42:590:43:01

You know, what's that between friends?

0:43:010:43:03

Well done.

0:43:030:43:05

But Danny did you a real solid

0:43:050:43:07

because that wine crate made a £20 profit, so kudos to you, Danny.

0:43:070:43:11

-Thank you.

-Yes.

0:43:110:43:13

Well done, Danny.

0:43:130:43:15

Well, you know it's a shame I can't hand anyone any money,

0:43:150:43:17

but we all had a good time, didn't we?

0:43:170:43:19

-Absolutely.
