0:00:03 > 0:00:06I'm desperately trying to write a bestseller.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08And that's because we're in Devon today,
0:00:08 > 0:00:12which was home to one of the world's greatest novelists.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15Agatha Christie was famous for her whodunits
0:00:15 > 0:00:17and sold over a billion books.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20I want to follow in her footsteps and write something with a twist.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24I've got a location.
0:00:24 > 0:00:25An antiques fair.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28And some intriguing characters.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31The Reds and the Blues.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34But how will the story unfold?
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Will their items be the death of them,
0:00:36 > 0:00:39or will they make a killing at the auction?
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Either way, we'll keep you guessing to the very end!
0:00:43 > 0:00:46So, let's go Bargain Hunting.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12There's no mystery about where we are today.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14We're back at the Westpoint Arena
0:01:14 > 0:01:16where our teams have only one hour and £300
0:01:16 > 0:01:19to buy three items to take to auction.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23But will they be anything to write home about?
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Let's take a sneaky peek at what's coming up.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30The Red team needs keeping in check.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31I like that a lot.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Hold on a minute, Trev, you're taking over this show!
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- Sorry!- He's gone off track, hasn't he?!
0:01:36 > 0:01:38There's a power struggle on the Blue team.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40I tell you to haggle, and then you haggle.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- OK.- Haggle, Jess.- OK.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43I dare you.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Six, I'll take.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47And the pressure is on at the auction.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48Come on, keep working it!
0:01:48 > 0:01:51- Told you not to get it. - No, I told YOU not to.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- 24, six.- Oh! - We're going to sell them.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Oh!
0:01:56 > 0:01:57But that's all coming up later.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01First it's time to meet our teams and we're all friends today.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03For the Reds we have Trevor and Pete.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05And for the Blues we have Jess and Josie.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Hello, everyone. ALL: Hello!
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Now, first, I'm going to turn to the Reds and actually,
0:02:10 > 0:02:13I'll get this out of the way, Trevor. I'm shaking in my boots here.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- You're a bit of a tough guy.- No! No! - You've got to be, don't you?- No, no!
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Tell me about your line of work.
0:02:18 > 0:02:19I work in the prison service,
0:02:19 > 0:02:21I'm what's called a physical education instructor.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25So basically I teach PE to the prisoners in my charge.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27It's just a fantastic job, to my mind.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31So there must be nothing that you're scared of.
0:02:31 > 0:02:32Do you have a limit?
0:02:32 > 0:02:33I'm absolutely terrified of heights.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Absolutely terrified. I can't climb a ladder.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- I'm terrified of heights. - Really?- No, I'm terrified.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Don't worry, you're not climbing any ladders today,
0:02:40 > 0:02:42I promise you that.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43We'll see, we'll see!
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Now, Pete, tell me, what do you do for a living?
0:02:46 > 0:02:50I work as a support worker, learning disability adults,
0:02:50 > 0:02:51in a little home.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Tell me what you do there?
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Well, we've a number of things, activities.
0:02:55 > 0:03:00We do sports, we go out to lunches, we go for walks on the moors.
0:03:00 > 0:03:01How good is this!
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Now, tell me, how do you reckon you're going to get on as a team?
0:03:04 > 0:03:06You're obviously good mates, but pressure's on?
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Oh, no, we'll be arguing, falling out and everything.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11"No, you don't want that, let's get this."
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- OK.- No, I think we'll be bickering.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Oh, really? I can't wait to see that!
0:03:15 > 0:03:18We won't be bickering! What are you saying that for? We don't bicker!
0:03:18 > 0:03:21OK, I'm going to turn to the Blues now, your competitors.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22And, Jess, I'm starting with you.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25So you were a full-time nurse and now you're a mum.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27So tell me, what was the story there?
0:03:27 > 0:03:31I qualified after school as a registered nurse,
0:03:31 > 0:03:35I became a ward manager and then I worked in palliative care,
0:03:35 > 0:03:36so caring for the dying.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38I found that very rewarding.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41And then I had three little girls in three years,
0:03:41 > 0:03:42which was quite a handful.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- And now you're a full-time mum? - Now I'm a full-time mum.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48So which is more challenging, nursing or motherhood?
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- Motherhood!- I had a feeling you were going to say that!
0:03:51 > 0:03:52Very much so.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54So, Josie, tell me, what do you do for a living?
0:03:54 > 0:03:57I'm a translator and I'm also an editor for a railway magazine.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59So which languages do you translate?
0:03:59 > 0:04:03I translate from German into English, only ever that way round,
0:04:03 > 0:04:04into your stronger language.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07And tell me about this magazine that you edit?
0:04:07 > 0:04:08It's a railway magazine,
0:04:08 > 0:04:10so that's for business to business
0:04:10 > 0:04:14rather than sort of for your steam engine enthusiast.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17And as that, I sort of get to commission articles,
0:04:17 > 0:04:20write articles, interview people and get to travel as well.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21Well, I have the feeling that
0:04:21 > 0:04:22we could all just talk and talk for days.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25But the fair is open, it's waiting for you.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27So I'm going to give you £300.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Pete, that's for you. Jess, for the Blues.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33£300. Your experts are so excited to meet you, so off you go,
0:04:33 > 0:04:34and have a great time.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Well, the teams are all friends for now,
0:04:36 > 0:04:40but after 60 minutes of Bargain Hunt, will it stay that way?
0:04:40 > 0:04:42So our teams are raring to go.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44But what about their experts?
0:04:46 > 0:04:49He's master and commander of the Reds, it's Danny Sebastian.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56But Gary PE is eyeing up victory as well, he's in charge of the Blues.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59OK, guys, it's shopping time.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Tell me, what are you after, Pete?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Nice bit of treen, something unusual.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- Something sparkly and shiny, maybe, Gary?- Oh, right.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Have a look, what we thought we could get.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10Anything from that list!
0:05:10 > 0:05:12We're going after variety.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14So we didn't want to get three things that were the same.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18- Cos that would be a bit boring. - In other words, we're clueless!- Yes!
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Teams, your 60 minutes start now!
0:05:21 > 0:05:22Drum on!
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Let's go!
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Both teams are hoping to win Golden Gavels,
0:05:27 > 0:05:30but Danny is steering the Reds towards another precious metal.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Nice bit of silver. Everybody loves silver.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35What is it about silver that everyone loves silver?
0:05:35 > 0:05:37There's loads of bits and pieces here.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39You got that right, Danny!
0:05:39 > 0:05:41How are you feeling, Gary?
0:05:41 > 0:05:43This is going to be fun. We don't know what we're buying.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46- We have no idea. Help us! - So I'm going to have to steer you.
0:05:46 > 0:05:47Steer away!
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Just make sure you drive a hard bargain, Blues!
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Now, it looks like the Reds have taken a detour during their hunt
0:05:53 > 0:05:55for something shiny.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57I like boxes.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Do you like them polished up, or sort of...
0:05:59 > 0:06:00- Oh, yeah, polished. - All polished and nice?
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Well, there's a few here.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06- That's quite nice.- Nice little... Is it an ink set, or...?
0:06:06 > 0:06:07Yeah, an ink box.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Ink box, with little wells in it.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10Yeah, it's got all the nameplates.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Look, black.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Perhaps we'll move on and have a look.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- Perhaps we'll move on?- Yeah. - Brilliant, OK.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Why don't you add it to your long list, so you don't forget about it?!
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Now, what have the Blues found?
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- What do you think of this...? - Oh, these are pretty, aren't they?
0:06:26 > 0:06:29This pair of Arts And Crafts chairs.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30Oh, and look at the inlay!
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- Yes.- So is this sort of William Morris inspired?
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- Yes. Well... Whoa! - What happened there, then?!
0:06:35 > 0:06:37You're an expert and didn't know it!
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Yes, very much Morris inspired.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43He was influenced by John Ruskin, of course.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- Right.- And how much is this price?
0:06:45 > 0:06:46£48.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- Are you interested?- Yes. - Yeah, I think they're nice.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Do you think we could get a good deal for the two, Gary?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53They're better off as a pair than as a single.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56OK. And how would it do at auction?
0:06:56 > 0:06:5848 for one,
0:06:58 > 0:07:00- that's doable.- Yeah.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03If we could get them down to 30 each...
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- 30 each? - Oh.- That's your haggling, Josie.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08- I'm not good at haggling. - You want me to do it?
0:07:08 > 0:07:10I tell you to haggle, and you haggle.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- OK, I'll do it.- Haggle, Jess! - OK.- I dare you!
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Dare me away!
0:07:14 > 0:07:16- OK.- All right, I dare you too!
0:07:16 > 0:07:18- Dare me!- Go on.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- Hello, there.- We're interested in your two chairs.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24We were wondering if we could get them for about £30 each?
0:07:24 > 0:07:27A little bit low there, just a weeny bit more.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- Make it tempting.- 70.
0:07:29 > 0:07:3170? What do you think, Gary?
0:07:31 > 0:07:33I always have a soft spot for Arts And Crafts.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- Yeah.- I like the style.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- You recognised them as being...- 65?
0:07:37 > 0:07:3865 for the pair.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- 65.- Do it 65 for you. - Would you do 65?
0:07:40 > 0:07:43There you go, I think we've got our first buy.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- Wow!- In less than five minutes!
0:07:45 > 0:07:47- How about that!- Thank you very much.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Thank you so much.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- Thank you. - You're welcome, good luck.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- Thank you very much. - Team, well done.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- Yes!- Off to number two and three! - Let's!
0:07:56 > 0:07:58You don't hang about, do you, Blues?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Will the Reds be as quick with their first purchase?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- What do we have? - I do like the shaker.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06That one's quite...
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- a pretty pepper.- 65 quid.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- That is lovely.- Oh, there's great craftsmanship going on
0:08:12 > 0:08:14with the twirl. Yeah, very nice.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17This pepper shaker is quite modern.
0:08:17 > 0:08:18But in the 19th century,
0:08:18 > 0:08:21they would often be engraved with the owner's initials or monogram.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25But does this have the Reds written all over it?
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- Nice little twist on top. But... - Not quite what we're after.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31At least you're being decisive.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Back to the Blues.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34What about this?
0:08:34 > 0:08:38- Oh, that's very unusual, isn't it? - It's not silver, it's pewter.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42- Oh, yes.- Now, this is called Art Nouveau,
0:08:42 > 0:08:47or in the continent, it's called Jugendstil, or new style.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50It's contemporary to arts and crafts, but more European.
0:08:50 > 0:08:55Now, I can see something that reads "etain",
0:08:55 > 0:08:58which is French for pewter.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03So this dates from about 1890 to 1910.
0:09:03 > 0:09:08- OK.- And the quality, I mean, look at the face of that woman.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11So it wouldn't have been mass produced?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Well, they would have been produced in numbers, yes.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16But the thing to look for is the quality of the moulding.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- Yes.- And the construction of the piece.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23And look at the sinuous lines, that woman sort of...
0:09:23 > 0:09:25- It's got a flow to it, hasn't it? - Exactly. I think it's lovely.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27- Yes.- It is lovely and we wanted something silver.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30We wanted something sparkly and shiny.
0:09:30 > 0:09:31- So...- So what should we haggle for?
0:09:31 > 0:09:3350's good.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36If we can get it down to 45, would even be better.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- Oh, OK.- Shall we ask?
0:09:38 > 0:09:39Come with me.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Hello.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43We were interested in this item.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45But we were wondering what you could do, maybe, about price.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48And we were wondering about £45 instead.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- Please.- 45 is too low.
0:09:51 > 0:09:5350, it would have to be 50.
0:09:53 > 0:09:5449?
0:09:54 > 0:09:56SHE LAUGHS
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Shall we go £49.50?
0:09:58 > 0:09:59Yes? No? Yes?
0:09:59 > 0:10:00- Go on, then. 49.- Oh, wow.
0:10:00 > 0:10:05- Oh, thank you so much.- Thank you so much.- Thank you very much.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Let's face it, Blues, you'll be finished soon
0:10:08 > 0:10:10if you carry on like this.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13You've snapped up two items in just over ten minutes.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15The Reds are still looking for buy number one.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Which glass are you looking at, Pete?
0:10:17 > 0:10:19This one here, the rather large one there.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20That's really nice.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24- You like that, do you?- Yeah, the engraving's nice on it as well.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Sometimes I think the engraving can go against.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Especially if it's got a person's name or, you know,
0:10:28 > 0:10:31a description for something, for a specific individual,
0:10:31 > 0:10:35- because if it's got "Tony" on it, it can only go to Tony.- That's right.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38So we've just got to be a little bit careful with inscriptions.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41But will the glass goblet break the bank?
0:10:41 > 0:10:42155 quid.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Is it, really? Maybe not.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Don't panic, Pete, maybe the perfect thing is just around the corner.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51Danny, what do you think of this piece?
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- Quite nice.- Yeah.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- It's unusual, I feel, don't you? - Nice piece of glass, yes.
0:10:56 > 0:10:57It's got a lovely turn to it, hasn't it?
0:10:57 > 0:11:01You know, there's an old, 19th century sweetie jar.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04- That is usable.- £50.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- I reckon...- I mean, that looks like a nice piece of glass, doesn't it,
0:11:07 > 0:11:09really? No chips, always check for chips.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11- Chips, yeah. - That's what, you know...
0:11:11 > 0:11:12There's a little chip there, is there?
0:11:12 > 0:11:16- Yeah.- There's a little chip, which is not so bad, really.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18- It's different, isn't it? - What about at auction?
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- In an auction... - Probably 30 to 50, 60?
0:11:21 > 0:11:24I'd imagine, yeah, 40 to 60, somewhere around there.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27We might even be able to get a little bit knocked off.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29- I like that, I'm happy with that. - I like it as well.- It's decorative.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33- Yeah. It's usable, that's what I keep saying.- It's practical as well.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36I'll go and see the vendor and see if we can get a good price for it.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37All right, yeah.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40While Danny tries to get a sweet deal on the jar,
0:11:40 > 0:11:41let's catch up with the Blues,
0:11:41 > 0:11:45who are hoping to wrap up their shop in record time.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Silver figurines?
0:11:47 > 0:11:51Silver figurines, well, they can be pricey.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- Not feeling the love for it, are you?- Not feeling the love.
0:11:54 > 0:11:55That's a no, then.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59But don't worry, you have 40 minutes to find your third and final item.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01While your opponents are still after their first.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05Will the glass sweet jar make the grade?
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- How did you get on? - £40 is the best he can do.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- Excellent.- Even with that chip?
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- Excellent, I think we'll go with that.- If you're happy, I'm happy.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- You happy with that?- Yes, we'll go with that, that's fine.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18- Done. Sorted.- So...
0:12:18 > 0:12:21It's about 22 minutes it's took us to get this first piece.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- No!- We've bought one piece. That's good, don't worry.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26But you're not as quick as Gary's Blue team!
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Talk about Speedy Gonzales!
0:12:28 > 0:12:31These women are smoking!
0:12:31 > 0:12:36You've got some catching up to do, Reds, and only half an hour left.
0:12:36 > 0:12:37So while you carry on shopping,
0:12:37 > 0:12:40I'm going to get my hands on a blockbuster collection.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51With over 75,000 items,
0:12:51 > 0:12:54the Bill Douglas Cinema Museum in Exeter
0:12:54 > 0:12:56is one of the largest collections
0:12:56 > 0:12:58of moving image memorabilia in Europe.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Now, Bill Douglas amassed this remarkable collection
0:13:01 > 0:13:03with his lifelong friend, Peter Jewell,
0:13:03 > 0:13:06who I'm lucky to have sitting beside me here today.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- Thank you, Peter, for joining us on Bargain Hunt.- Thank you.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Tell me a little bit about your good friend, Bill Douglas.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Well, Bill was a Scot, from Edinburgh.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16I like him already!
0:13:16 > 0:13:19He made a trilogy of films about his own childhood,
0:13:19 > 0:13:21that was in the 1970s.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23So he was an accomplished director.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25When did he start to amass this collection?
0:13:25 > 0:13:26When we became friends,
0:13:26 > 0:13:30we shared a flat together and we were both film fans.
0:13:30 > 0:13:31And we went from there.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Which leads us to our first item.
0:13:34 > 0:13:35I'd love to learn more about this menu,
0:13:35 > 0:13:39because it must have special significance if it's in the museum?
0:13:39 > 0:13:40It's got very great significance.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43The very first showing of moving pictures
0:13:43 > 0:13:46anywhere in the United Kingdom
0:13:46 > 0:13:49was on October 18th 1894.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53And this is the menu for the press preview, the previous evening.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57So where on earth did you find such a rare item?
0:13:57 > 0:14:01That was found in a box of menus that the dealer was selling.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03And I was very impatient with Bill.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05"What are you looking at menus for?"
0:14:05 > 0:14:07And he came up with that.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11One of the most exciting things we have in our entire collection.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13But we can't really talk about the history of the moving image
0:14:13 > 0:14:15without touching on this item.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Tell us more about the zoetrope.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Spin it and have a look, Natasha.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20Let's see, OK.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Because you will see the character then start to move.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Oh, yes.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28It's like a little film that would just last for a few seconds
0:14:28 > 0:14:31and that dates from 1834.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35And providing endless hours of fun in the family home?
0:14:35 > 0:14:39Because you would have a dozen or more strips that you could change
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- and put inside. - Now we can get a bit more tactile.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44I want to just crank this handle here.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48Do. This is a Kinora invented by the Lumiere brothers,
0:14:48 > 0:14:52who were responsible for the first projection of films,
0:14:52 > 0:14:54in December 1895,
0:14:54 > 0:14:57and they also invented this small machine
0:14:57 > 0:14:59which you could have at home.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01It's quite exotic, actually.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03There were many Kinora reels,
0:15:03 > 0:15:07and the Filoscope came out at about the same time.
0:15:07 > 0:15:08It's more like a flip book.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11It's an imitation of cinema.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14This is the Derby of 1896.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Gosh, the excitement.
0:15:16 > 0:15:21And what's interesting is that they filmed the Derby,
0:15:21 > 0:15:24and that same evening they projected the film
0:15:24 > 0:15:27at the music hall in Leicester Square.
0:15:27 > 0:15:28That's quite a turnaround.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31- It's as good as television today. - That's amazing!
0:15:31 > 0:15:33120 years ago.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Thank you, Peter, so very much for bringing in such a lovely collection
0:15:36 > 0:15:40from the Bill Douglas Cinema Museum at Exeter University.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42But now all eyes are back on our teams.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Let's see how they're getting on.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52With just under 30 minutes left, the Blues only have one item to buy,
0:15:52 > 0:15:53while the Reds are after two.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56So what's caught their attention on their travels?
0:15:56 > 0:15:58That's interesting, that's been around the world, that has.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00A hip flask.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02I mean, you know...
0:16:06 > 0:16:08- Whisky.- Hopefully a scotch!
0:16:08 > 0:16:09Quite nice as a hip flask.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- I mean, it's cheap, you know.- No, you've got to get something really,
0:16:12 > 0:16:15I don't know, smack on, bang, in your face.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17I'll drink to that.
0:16:17 > 0:16:18How are the Blues getting on?
0:16:18 > 0:16:19You like the hat?
0:16:21 > 0:16:25It looks sort of eastern European.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- No, OK, better. We can do better. - Absolutely.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Don't worry, you lot are still leading the way.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35Meanwhile, the Reds are getting the low-down on some antique boxes.
0:16:35 > 0:16:36What are these?
0:16:36 > 0:16:38They sell at the minute as pill boxes.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41- It's actually got some miniature dice in.- Oh, right.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- Isn't that novel? - What are they made of?
0:16:44 > 0:16:46- Papier mache.- Yeah.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48- Victorian.- Yes.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Papier mache boxes were popular with the working classes
0:16:51 > 0:16:54because they were cheaper to buy than those made of precious metals,
0:16:54 > 0:16:57but will our team be able to get these for a decent price?
0:16:58 > 0:17:00One's 28, one's 35.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02So what's that? 63?
0:17:02 > 0:17:04If we can get it down to 50, what do you reckon?
0:17:04 > 0:17:08- Maybe a bit less.- Can I ask you if you can do anything on those two?
0:17:08 > 0:17:09What's the best you could do?
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Or what's the best you could do, if you don't mind me asking?
0:17:12 > 0:17:13I could do the two for 45.
0:17:13 > 0:17:1540?
0:17:15 > 0:17:19I'll do it at 42. I really wouldn't want to go below that.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21I think he's being fair. He is trying.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23- OK, sir.- Thank you very much.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25- Thank you very much.- Well done.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27He's not messing about. I tell you what, you're getting through this.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29I am, I'm enjoying myself.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31- I'm on a roll.- That's brilliant.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Now we've got two items, come on, let's go and get the last piece.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35Let's go!
0:17:35 > 0:17:39Well done, Reds, you've finally caught up with your opponents,
0:17:39 > 0:17:41with 20 minutes left on the clock.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44But the Blues might have their last item in their sights.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46A piece of cloisonne.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- That's...- The blue...- The round jar.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52One thing I like about this is it's round.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55You always see them as baluster shapes,
0:17:55 > 0:17:58and most of the time they'd be without covers, but this one,
0:17:58 > 0:18:03globe shaped, globular shaped and a Dog of Foo as a finial on the top.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Now the thing is, what's the price?
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Yes. And would we make a profit?
0:18:07 > 0:18:10- Well, let's find out what the price is first.- OK.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Then let's carry on from there.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14What would you put in that?
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Is that just an ornamental piece?
0:18:16 > 0:18:18It's more ornamental than anything else.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20It could have been probably...
0:18:20 > 0:18:25a censer as well, but usually they'd have holes.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Ooh, it's 100 quid and she says it has damage.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30It's got a bit of damage in the interior.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Which is better than having it on the exterior, of course.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- What do you think?- I think it's interesting looking,
0:18:39 > 0:18:42it's not necessarily what I'd have in my house,
0:18:42 > 0:18:45- but that doesn't mean to say it's not something that would be...- OK.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48If we've got time, Gary, shall we put it on the back burner,
0:18:48 > 0:18:50and come back to it, maybe?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Good strategy, we can always come back to it,
0:18:52 > 0:18:54because we have the time.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Not much though, Gary, 15 minutes and counting.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59I like that a lot.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01And I like that a lot.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Hold on a minute, Trev! You're taking over this show.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06- Sorry.- He's gone off track! - What do you think of them?
0:19:06 > 0:19:07Out of interest.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09I think African art is on an up.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13I really do. I think that might well be the next trend.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16But there's a thin line between getting the real McCoy
0:19:16 > 0:19:20and also getting a piece that's, like, a tourist piece.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Boss, this African art, it's a specific field, isn't it?
0:19:23 > 0:19:27It is. These particular masks are some of the most collectible I sell.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29These are from the Fang tribe.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32I could sell you that one for £50.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35- Shall we have a think about it? - I think so, we can come...
0:19:35 > 0:19:38We've got about 15 minutes, it's not that long.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42With both teams looking for their final deals of the day,
0:19:42 > 0:19:43the heat is on.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47That's interesting. Isn't it?
0:19:47 > 0:19:48What is it?
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- It's sort of...- It's a heater.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52An oil heater.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54That would be about late Victorian.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Yes, about 1870 or something.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59So you're looking for something with a story,
0:19:59 > 0:20:02this certainly has it in spades.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03- OK.- So...
0:20:03 > 0:20:06115, but I can't go any less than that.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08- Absolute death.- 115.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12I wonder if £115 will be a bit rich for our ladies in blue?
0:20:13 > 0:20:17My only worry is if it would make a profit at auction.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20115 is quite a large amount of money.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22What's your expert advice,
0:20:22 > 0:20:25the Chinese item or this item from a profit perspective?
0:20:25 > 0:20:28I like this, because it's unusual.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Cloisonne, you see them all the time.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35- OK.- Well, I'm happy if Gary's happy and you're happy.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39- Yes, yes, I'm happy.- OK.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- Is this it?- This is it. - Are we done?- We're done.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- Team, item number three, we've done it.- We've done it!
0:20:45 > 0:20:49- Yay!- Thank you very much.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50Thank you.
0:20:50 > 0:20:51Thank you, sir.
0:20:51 > 0:20:58Bravo, Blues! At £115, you saved your biggest spend until last.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Go and put your feet up, Blues.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Reds, you need to make some quick decisions.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06OK, guys, we've got ten minutes left. We're at a crossroads here,
0:21:06 > 0:21:08which direction are we going to go?
0:21:08 > 0:21:12- Shall we go that way? - That way, OK, and one more thing,
0:21:12 > 0:21:13shall we keep focused?
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- We'll try.- OK, let's go. - Let's go, let's go.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18What do we do now, eat cake?
0:21:18 > 0:21:19Yes. No, chocolate.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- Chocolate, wine. - We can relax now, can't we?
0:21:22 > 0:21:23- We can. We can.- Yes, absolutely.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26No such luck for the Reds.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Right. Gents, I saw this on the way up earlier.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33French, First World War, I don't know much about it.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Militaria sells, doesn't it?
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Militaria is very desirable, yeah. I mean...
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Nice. Is there something missing off the top?
0:21:40 > 0:21:42There's something missing.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45It had sort of a spike, or something of the sort is missing.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49First World War, priced up at £60.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52I'm not saying to rush into, you know, a purchase,
0:21:52 > 0:21:53but one thing's for sure,
0:21:53 > 0:21:55we've probably got about four minutes left,
0:21:55 > 0:21:59so we really are running against the clock here now.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Can we ask the gentleman to come over and tell us...
0:22:02 > 0:22:03A bit more? Yeah.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07- Hello, sir.- What can I do on that, you're going to say.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Well, just, is there something missing off the top?
0:22:10 > 0:22:12I should think probably a plume.
0:22:12 > 0:22:13A plume, yes.
0:22:13 > 0:22:18I would think a plume. Which would deteriorate, obviously, very easily.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20So what's the best price you can do on it for us?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22I could do 50 on it for you, certainly.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Shall we go with this then? Yeah?
0:22:25 > 0:22:29- What do you think, Danny?- I think we need a little bit more off of that.
0:22:29 > 0:22:30I'll do 48.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Can you do 42?
0:22:33 > 0:22:35I'll do 45.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37I'll do 45.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39And that's it.
0:22:39 > 0:22:40That really is it.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42I think we're running out of time.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44- We really have no choice. - We'll have it.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46- I wish you luck. - I'm shaking his hand.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48You stand a chance with that.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50I think we're going to need plenty of that!
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Your 60 minutes are up.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57Oh, yeah you look French.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Ah-hau-hau-hau!
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Because of the moustache.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07The glass sweet jar was £40.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Let's hope it doesn't leave a sour taste at the auction.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16Trevor and Pete bought the pair of Victorian papier mache pillboxes
0:23:16 > 0:23:17for £42.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22And the French artillery helmet was £45
0:23:22 > 0:23:25but did they pay over the odds at the last minute?
0:23:27 > 0:23:29The three items that you got, did any of them appear
0:23:29 > 0:23:31on the world's longest list that you produced?
0:23:31 > 0:23:33No, I don't think it did.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35I think we should have done a longer list.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38I don't think that would have been possible!
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Now tell me, of the three items, which was your favourite?
0:23:41 > 0:23:44I like the little snuff boxes with silver inlay, very nice.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47So do you think because of their size and the fact they're unusual,
0:23:47 > 0:23:49they'll bring the biggest profit?
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Yeah, I think, possibly. Yeah.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52Tell me, Trevor, what about you?
0:23:52 > 0:23:56Do you have more certainty when it comes to which item is going to make
0:23:56 > 0:23:57- the biggest profit?- I must agree.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00I picked out the snuff boxes, they are cute,
0:24:00 > 0:24:03they are tiny and one of them has got a set of dice in it,
0:24:03 > 0:24:05a little set of dice.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08That will make a small profit. That's what matters.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10OK, so you're both agreed that they're probably
0:24:10 > 0:24:12- the best item that you bought. - Yes, yes.
0:24:12 > 0:24:18Now, you spent quite a good sum of money, three figures anyway, £127,
0:24:18 > 0:24:21which leaves 173, who's got that?
0:24:21 > 0:24:25- I've got that.- Pete. Trevor, you let this man carry around £173?
0:24:25 > 0:24:27I wasn't allowed to touch it. First time I've seen it!
0:24:27 > 0:24:28Much obliged.
0:24:28 > 0:24:33Right, Danny, £173, where's that going to take you?
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Well, I think I've seen something in the hall
0:24:36 > 0:24:38that you guys are going to really like,
0:24:38 > 0:24:42so hopefully it'll be there, and if it is, I'll be buying it for you.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Well, Danny sounds like a man with a plan.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46And this time he has the luxury of time.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48So while he's off having a look,
0:24:48 > 0:24:50let's remind ourselves what the Blue team bought.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Jess and Josie didn't waste any time and got straight down to business.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59The pair of bedroom chairs inspired by William Morris were £65.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03And they followed with their second buy just minutes later.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06The Art Nouveau pewter tray was £49.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12Their final item was the Victorian conservatory heater,
0:25:12 > 0:25:13but will it make a profit?
0:25:13 > 0:25:15£115 paid.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Jess and Josie, you were super-quick with those chairs.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22They were so beautiful, the chairs, it was a no-brainer, wasn't it?
0:25:22 > 0:25:26- Absolutely love them. - So beautiful means they were your favourite item of the three?
0:25:26 > 0:25:30Absolutely, they were my favourite item, definitely.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Which of the three will bring the biggest profit?
0:25:32 > 0:25:34I'm hoping it'll be the Arts And Crafts chairs
0:25:34 > 0:25:36because they are my favourite item,
0:25:36 > 0:25:38but, you know, you never know, do you?
0:25:38 > 0:25:41You do never know because the three of them are all turn-of-the-century
0:25:41 > 0:25:44so perhaps if the auction house at Honiton has that sort of market,
0:25:44 > 0:25:48then there could be competition for all three, which would be great.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50So, Josie, tell me, which was your favourite?
0:25:50 > 0:25:54I think I liked the pewter tray the most, the Art Nouveau one.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Do you think that'll bring the most profit?
0:25:57 > 0:25:59I think it's probably the most versatile
0:25:59 > 0:26:00because you would have room for it in your house,
0:26:00 > 0:26:03whereas the chairs, you might not be able to put them somewhere
0:26:03 > 0:26:06- and I think it's quite classy so I like it.- Always practical.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10- Always practical.- OK, so you've got slightly differing opinions there
0:26:10 > 0:26:12but hopefully they all make a profit and we don't need to worry.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Fingers crossed.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Now you both agree you like to spend money too because
0:26:17 > 0:26:19you spent quite a healthy sum, remind me, what was the total?
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- £229.- 229,
0:26:22 > 0:26:23so who's got £71?
0:26:23 > 0:26:27- That'll be me. - Thank you, Jess. There you go.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31So 71 doesn't stay with me for long, it goes straight to Gary Pe.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Now Gary, what are you going to buy?
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Is it going to be turn-of-the-century
0:26:35 > 0:26:37or are you thinking of another period?
0:26:37 > 0:26:41This is enough to buy something that is evocative of a British tradition.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44I was moved when I saw it and I hope it's still there.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Gary, we are all intrigued,
0:26:46 > 0:26:49but now it's time to head to Honiton for the auction.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54And we've come to Whittons auctioneers.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56And Edward Whitton himself has joined me.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Thank you for having us along.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00- Thank you for coming along. - It's a pleasure. Great to be here.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Now, let's start off with Trevor and Pete.
0:27:03 > 0:27:04This glass dish, what do you think of it?
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Very stylish, very usable.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11It's really smart and it's got that lovely domed base on the inside,
0:27:11 > 0:27:14everything about it is actually quite attractive,
0:27:14 > 0:27:15and it's in good nick, isn't it?
0:27:15 > 0:27:16So what do you reckon?
0:27:16 > 0:27:18How does glass go at Whittons?
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Yes, it is saleable because of the style of it.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22OK, so do you have a sweet estimate?
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Yeah, £20-£30.
0:27:24 > 0:27:25£20-£30.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Well, the gentlemen thought it was worth a wee bit more,
0:27:28 > 0:27:32and they paid £40 for it so let's move on swiftly to item number two.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35- Absolutely.- Which is in fact a pair,
0:27:35 > 0:27:39we've got these papier mache miniature boxes, little pillboxes.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41- With the dice. - Yeah, that's a nice added extra.
0:27:41 > 0:27:42They're quite sweet.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Usually we would expect to see them bigger as snuff boxes,
0:27:45 > 0:27:47so do you think they have that novelty appeal?
0:27:47 > 0:27:50They've got a bit of novelty to them but they're tiny.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53I never thought about that, actually. They are really dinky.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Do you think someone would have them to display
0:27:55 > 0:27:56or would they end up in a drawer?
0:27:56 > 0:27:59I think you just put them in a display cabinet with other boxes,
0:27:59 > 0:28:01things like that, just look at them and admire.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04OK, well, people on Bargain Hunt do love to buy boxes
0:28:04 > 0:28:06so what do you reckon these two are going to make?
0:28:06 > 0:28:07I put £30-£50.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10OK, well, the gents again paid slightly higher
0:28:10 > 0:28:12than the lower end of your estimate,
0:28:12 > 0:28:13£42 for the pair.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15- Right.- So that's all right. - That's acceptable.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17- Slap-bang in the middle.- Yeah.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20- OK, and it is a pair and we love a pair on Bargain Hunt.- We do.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24OK, now let's move on to an item that surely Trevor and Pete adored
0:28:24 > 0:28:28- because it's such a man's item, isn't it?- Right, yeah.
0:28:28 > 0:28:29- Absolutely.- This artillery helmet.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32So as a man, does this get your juices flowing?
0:28:32 > 0:28:33Well, each to their own.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Um...
0:28:35 > 0:28:38It's an unusual lot, it's quite a saleable item.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40We've put an estimate £20-£30 on it
0:28:40 > 0:28:43just to get a bit of temptation going and I think it'll make more
0:28:43 > 0:28:46by a long way, I think it'll make £40-60, something like that.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49Well, that would be good because the gents paid 45 for it
0:28:49 > 0:28:52so hopefully 20-30 is a come get me estimate.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54- Absolutely.- OK. Well, overall,
0:28:54 > 0:28:57- I think it's quite a happy appraisal of the Reds.- Yeah, yeah.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00- But you never know, Edward, they might need their bonus buy. - Can't tell.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02So let's find what Danny found for them.
0:29:04 > 0:29:09Well, Trevor, Pete, you left Danny £173.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13- Are you itching to know what's under that cloth?- Yeah.- Curious.
0:29:13 > 0:29:14We think it's his hand.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17OK! Right, Danny, put these guys out of their misery,
0:29:17 > 0:29:18what's under the cloth?
0:29:20 > 0:29:22- Oooh!- Oh, right.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24- What is it? - It's a little Art Deco lamp.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26- I like that. - It's German. Polished steel.
0:29:26 > 0:29:30- Yeah.- Absolutely fabulous proportions, in pristine condition.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32I think it's absolutely beautiful.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34I think it's going to look great on anyone's desk.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37- Yeah.- I have to ask you the question, how much did you pay?
0:29:37 > 0:29:39What do you think I paid for it?
0:29:39 > 0:29:42- 50 quid.- Oh, no, you have to go a bit more richer than that.
0:29:42 > 0:29:43- Really?- Definitely.
0:29:43 > 0:29:44£70.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46Well, I paid £100.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49But, you know, I bartered the bloke down a great deal,
0:29:49 > 0:29:51it was a lot more money on the stand
0:29:51 > 0:29:54and I just feel that in auction,
0:29:54 > 0:29:57somebody just, two people just might go for this.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00And I've got a feeling it might sort of gallop away, this one.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Is that the sort of thing you'd have at home, Trevor?
0:30:02 > 0:30:04I'm not allowed things like this at home.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06- Strict rules, are there?- Yeah.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11I do like that. Feel the weight of that, that's a big old chunk.
0:30:11 > 0:30:12Does it feel good to you, Pete?
0:30:12 > 0:30:16Well, yeah, it is, I think it will appeal to somebody,
0:30:16 > 0:30:18but I'm not so sure about £100.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22We shall see and decide on the day.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Well, Pete thinks it will appeal to somebody,
0:30:24 > 0:30:25but let's find out if our auctioneer Ed
0:30:25 > 0:30:28thinks it will appeal to his buyers.
0:30:29 > 0:30:34OK, so Danny has gone down quite a stylish route with this desk lamp,
0:30:34 > 0:30:39- what do you make of it?- Yeah, it's nice and clean and quite saleable.
0:30:39 > 0:30:40It is quite saleable, isn't it?
0:30:40 > 0:30:43Because I think whilst writing desks themselves
0:30:43 > 0:30:46are not being used for writing, more typing,
0:30:46 > 0:30:48you still need a light while you're at your laptop.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50- Absolutely, yeah.- So it does work.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52I mean, is this something you would have at home?
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Yeah, I probably would to be fair, yeah, very much so.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56I put £40-£60 on it.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00OK, well, Danny was very optimistic, he paid £100 for it.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02Oh! Good.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05- But you never know.- No, have to work our magic, I'm afraid.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Right, let's move on to the Blues.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11We're going to start off with an attractive pair of chairs.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13They're nice solid chairs, nothing wrong with them.
0:31:13 > 0:31:14Typical Edwardiana.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17What do you think of the actual decorations themselves?
0:31:17 > 0:31:18They're quite nicely painted.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Yeah, they're quite stylish with the flowers
0:31:20 > 0:31:22and you've got the nice upholstery on it.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24And what kind of price do you reckon?
0:31:24 > 0:31:26I think they're £20-£30.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29OK, well, the Blues paid 65 for them.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33Right, OK. It'd be nice to get 60-odd pounds for them, £65.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35- Do you think that's possible?- No.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Well, you'll have your work cut out on the chairs
0:31:37 > 0:31:41so let's move onto this pewter dish which everyone agreed was gorgeous,
0:31:41 > 0:31:43but Josie being German particularly liked
0:31:43 > 0:31:46because it's got that real German style, doesn't it?
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Yeah, it's nice, nice style, nice swirls,
0:31:48 > 0:31:52and leaves and flowers and it's just quite an attractive piece.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55- I think it's quite a saleable item. - OK, fantastic.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57So how saleable, at what kind of price?
0:31:57 > 0:31:58I think we put 50-80.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01Fantastic because the Blues paid £49.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03They worked hard to shave off every single penny.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06Hopefully it'll pay off, if you get 50-80,
0:32:06 > 0:32:08fingers crossed for a good profit.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10- Definitely.- Right, our third item.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12Are there a lot of conservatories in Honiton?
0:32:12 > 0:32:14Yes. Um...
0:32:14 > 0:32:15Do you think they need a conservatory hater?
0:32:15 > 0:32:17Well, no home is complete without one, are they?
0:32:17 > 0:32:20It's what it is. They're not uncommon.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23I think I put an estimate of 40-50.
0:32:23 > 0:32:2640-50, I mean, it's got some redeeming features, doesn't it?
0:32:26 > 0:32:29Before I tell you what they paid for it, let's talk it up a wee bit,
0:32:29 > 0:32:31- it's got its handles, it's got... - There's nothing wrong with it.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34- There's no damage.- The Blues paid £115 for this heater.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37Right, OK. Good luck, Mr Whitton.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39OK, good luck to you indeed!
0:32:39 > 0:32:42Well, it sounds as though Edward thinks the Blues
0:32:42 > 0:32:43are going to need their bonus buy,
0:32:43 > 0:32:46so in that case, let's find out what Gary came up with.
0:32:48 > 0:32:54Jess, Josie, you took Westpoint by storm and you left Gary only £71.
0:32:54 > 0:32:55So, Gary...
0:32:55 > 0:32:58- It was good enough. - Did you work your magic, Gary?
0:32:58 > 0:33:02Well, I promised you something evocative of past times.
0:33:02 > 0:33:03Ooh-la-la!
0:33:03 > 0:33:05And so I bought something...
0:33:06 > 0:33:08..that...
0:33:08 > 0:33:10- Wow!- ..fits the bill.
0:33:10 > 0:33:15This is a reminder of when Britain was the powerhouse of the world,
0:33:15 > 0:33:18and coal-mining powered this nation.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22What you've got here is a sort of small-scale,
0:33:22 > 0:33:25almost a diorama of that industry.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27So is that brass, Gary?
0:33:27 > 0:33:29It is brass, basically, yes,
0:33:29 > 0:33:32and you've got even sort of bits of coal.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34It's got a two-layer thing happening there.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37- Exactly.- Wow, it's all dimensional, isn't it?
0:33:37 > 0:33:39And it shows you exactly what goes on.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42- Wow.- You've got an eye there, Gary.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47The best reaction I've ever heard is, "That's all dimensional!"
0:33:47 > 0:33:49THEY LAUGH That's what it is.
0:33:49 > 0:33:50Josie, what does this...
0:33:50 > 0:33:52I mean, you, you know,
0:33:52 > 0:33:55maybe not so familiar with the coal-mining industry in Britain.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58In the well-known coal-mining town of Honiton,
0:33:58 > 0:34:02I think this will be appealing.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Please tell me you spent under a fiver for that, Gary.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06Oh...
0:34:06 > 0:34:08I spent £59.
0:34:08 > 0:34:13- Wow!- I think it shows you a bit of British social history.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16Well, the ladies have given Gary a very mixed reaction,
0:34:16 > 0:34:19so let's find out what our auctioneer Ed
0:34:19 > 0:34:21thinks of the coal mining diorama.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26Well, Edward, for the customer who just loves coal.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29This is Gary's bonus buy, and I need to know what you think of it.
0:34:29 > 0:34:30It's an acquired taste.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32It's not my taste.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35It's an acquired taste is too much of a diplomatic answer.
0:34:35 > 0:34:36It's not your taste.
0:34:36 > 0:34:37OK.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39But, bearing that in mind,
0:34:39 > 0:34:42do you think that its social historical angle
0:34:42 > 0:34:44will get some bidders going?
0:34:46 > 0:34:50- No.- That was a definite no. - Perfectly... No.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52- But it's made of brass. - Yeah, well...- Quite a lot of it.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55- Yeah.- Bearing that in mind, what's your estimate?
0:34:55 > 0:34:59- 50-80.- OK, well, Gary thought it was worth £59 so,
0:34:59 > 0:35:01judging by the nine at the end of that number,
0:35:01 > 0:35:03he worked hard to get a discount.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05- Yes.- So fingers crossed it pays off.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08- Yeah, absolutely.- So will you be taking the sale today at Witton's?
0:35:08 > 0:35:09- Oh, yes.- Fantastic.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11In that case, we know we're in excellent hands.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15And I've got 40, five, 45...
0:35:17 > 0:35:19Trevor, Pete, Danny, this is our moment.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21This is the moment for the Reds to shine.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24We're in the auction and nerves are running high.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27- How are you feeling?- Nervous that we're going to lose a lot of money,
0:35:27 > 0:35:29and we haven't spent a lot of money.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Well, it's not possible, then.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33If you don't spend a lot, you can't lose a lot, can you, Trevor?
0:35:33 > 0:35:35We're going to make a fortune. I'm telling you now.
0:35:35 > 0:35:39- You are my man.- We're going to make a fortune.- Negative, positive.
0:35:39 > 0:35:40I've got a new car coming.
0:35:40 > 0:35:41OK, OK.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43- No pressure then!- No pressure.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46So let me remind you that your first item is the large,
0:35:46 > 0:35:48really nice lobed sweet jar.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52You paid £40 for it, so we need it to make anything above that.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54Are you ready for the first item?
0:35:54 > 0:35:56- We're ready.- Yes.- Here it comes.

0:36:07 > 0:36:09Anywhere else?
0:36:09 > 0:36:11At £32, it's being sold.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14Oh, that was a red herring.
0:36:14 > 0:36:15No class, no class.
0:36:15 > 0:36:1832 is a little loss of £8,
0:36:18 > 0:36:20so nothing to worry about just yet.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22- Not too bad. - I told you not to buy that.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24- This one.- Not too bad.

0:36:51 > 0:36:52Oh, 28!

0:36:56 > 0:36:58So here is Trevor's favourite lot.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00£45 paid for the helmet.
0:37:00 > 0:37:01We need more than that.

0:37:12 > 0:37:14How about 28 on the internet?
0:37:14 > 0:37:17- At £26, small decorating item.- Oh.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19At £26 here.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21It's getting there.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24At £26, at £26.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26Oh, there we go. There's that hammer.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29- I told you not to get that. - No, I told YOU not to buy that.
0:37:29 > 0:37:33Right, that is a loss of £19.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Overall, you've lost £41.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38So, the next question I have to ask you is a quick one.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41It is, are you going to go with that stylish chrome lamp Danny's bought
0:37:41 > 0:37:43- for you?- I think we should, Trevor.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45- What have we lost?- £41. - Heads or tails.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48Heads we go. Yeah, going for it.
0:37:48 > 0:37:49Go on. I'm not happy.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51- Not happy.- Here it comes.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54The lamp, 476.
0:37:54 > 0:37:55Stylish lamp here.
0:37:55 > 0:37:5840, we have. 40, five.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00It's got work to do. 50.
0:38:00 > 0:38:0150. With me.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03- All the way.- 50, 55.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06And 60. At 60, I've got 60 here.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08- Come on.- At £60 here.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10- Quality piece.- At £60,
0:38:10 > 0:38:11and five anywhere else.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14At £60.
0:38:14 > 0:38:18- Oh!- Gents, Danny tried his best.
0:38:18 > 0:38:19You tried your best.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22But that's a loss of £40, so overall you risked it for a biscuit,
0:38:22 > 0:38:25it didn't pay off. Overall, minus 81.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27- Ohhh!- All right.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35Now, ladies, tell me, have you attended an auction before?
0:38:35 > 0:38:37- No.- No.- We're new to all of this.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40I think we're all just waiting to see how that bonus buy goes.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43- That's all I'm saying!- We know how that's going to go, don't we?
0:38:43 > 0:38:47So, the first item of yours that is going to go under the hammer is
0:38:47 > 0:38:48the bedroom chairs, a pair.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50Now, you two are a great pair,
0:38:50 > 0:38:53so hopefully these bedroom chairs are going to take off.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55- Yes.- £65 paid.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57- Fingers crossed.- Fingers crossed.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59A pair of stylish bedroom chairs,
0:38:59 > 0:39:01lot 494.
0:39:01 > 0:39:0320, 22, four,

0:39:06 > 0:39:08At 28, and 30.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10- Nicely upholstered.- Halfway there.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12Halfway there, not quite.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14At 30, decorated with flowers.
0:39:14 > 0:39:1632, anywhere else?
0:39:16 > 0:39:18At £30, we have the bid.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20At £30, we're going to sell them.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23Final call. £30, thank you.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26Oh, £30!
0:39:26 > 0:39:28OK, don't worry. You are minus 35.
0:39:28 > 0:39:29Don't worry too much about that.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32Here comes the WMS-style dish.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34- OK.- £49 paid.- Here we go.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37495, stylish dish here.

0:39:55 > 0:39:56Just a bit more...
0:39:56 > 0:39:58- OK, we needed that.- Yes!
0:39:58 > 0:40:01£60 is a profit of 11,
0:40:01 > 0:40:05which means that you are now minus 24, not too shabby.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07- You're bringing it back. - Here's the big one.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10115 paid for the conservatory heater, so come on,
0:40:10 > 0:40:13let's get out of the red and into the black.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15496, copper heater here,
0:40:15 > 0:40:17conservatory heater,
0:40:17 > 0:40:18excellent condition, 32.
0:40:18 > 0:40:204. 36.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23- Oh.- Oh.- 42.
0:40:23 > 0:40:2645. At 45, we have 45.
0:40:26 > 0:40:2850 in the room.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31At £50, we've got here.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33At £50 here, at £50.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35Oh, ladies.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38£50. We've gone under again.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41So that is a loss of £65,
0:40:41 > 0:40:44which means that overall you are minus 89.
0:40:44 > 0:40:49- OK.- OK. So, you're in the red,
0:40:49 > 0:40:50but you are the Blue team,
0:40:50 > 0:40:52and Gary was your expert.
0:40:52 > 0:40:53Now, it's all on you, Gary.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Are you going to go with the bonus buy, ladies?
0:40:55 > 0:40:58Well, we've disliked it so much, I think we should go for it.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00- Yeah, I agree. - It's the only way forward.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03What the heck!
0:41:03 > 0:41:06So, ladies, you've decided 100% you're going with the bonus buy.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09- Absolutely.- Guess what, your favourite lot is coming up now.
0:41:09 > 0:41:13Next is 502, 30, 5, 40.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15For the coal centrepiece here.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17At 38.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19And 40. And 5.
0:41:19 > 0:41:2150, and 5.
0:41:21 > 0:41:2360.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26At £60 here, and 5, I will take.
0:41:26 > 0:41:27Who would want that?
0:41:27 > 0:41:30The brass and mining centrepiece.
0:41:30 > 0:41:31At £60.
0:41:31 > 0:41:35- Yes!- We made £1.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38Now, normally Gary wouldn't be so excited about a £1 profit,
0:41:38 > 0:41:42but the way you slated that item, I applaud you, Gary.
0:41:42 > 0:41:43£1 profit is brilliant.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45I just can't believe somebody bought it.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47So you were minus 89.
0:41:47 > 0:41:48It could be the pound that makes the difference.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50- You are minus 88.- Thank you, Gary,
0:41:50 > 0:41:53somebody thought it was a treasured item.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55The thing to do, ladies, is to keep it to yourselves.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57You don't want those Reds knowing what you made,
0:41:57 > 0:42:00- because actually minus 88 could be a winning score.- It could be.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09Today's result could not be tighter.
0:42:09 > 0:42:10ALL: Oh!
0:42:10 > 0:42:14So I think you've all guessed that no-one's going home with any money.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16THEY ALL LAUGH
0:42:16 > 0:42:19Which, by the by, is not the aim of the game,
0:42:19 > 0:42:22but that's all right. Officially, there is a winner.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26Let me tell you that today's victors are...
0:42:27 > 0:42:29The Reds.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32THEY CHEER
0:42:32 > 0:42:33Brilliant stuff, Reds.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37You lost £81, and £88, you lost.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Can you believe it? Now, when we come to you, Blues,
0:42:40 > 0:42:44I cannot fail to mention Gary's bonus buy.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47We all slated it and what did it do?
0:42:47 > 0:42:49It made a profit.
0:42:49 > 0:42:53It's a great story and Gary, I think, feels particularly proud.
0:42:53 > 0:42:58- Relieved.- Now let's move over to our Reds who, having lost £81,
0:42:58 > 0:43:01are probably relieved, too, that they are today's victors.
0:43:01 > 0:43:02- Indeed.- Well done.
0:43:02 > 0:43:06I tell you what, I've had such a good laugh with all of you,
0:43:06 > 0:43:09- and I hope you've had fun, too. - It's been a fantastic day.
0:43:09 > 0:43:10We've thoroughly enjoyed it.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12Well, I can certainly feel the love in the room.
