0:01:06 > 0:01:09Today's Bargain Hunt comes from the South of England Showground,
0:01:09 > 0:01:12and, boy, oh, boy, have we got a show for you today.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15We've got two willing teams waiting in the wings,
0:01:15 > 0:01:18so let's carry on with proceedings and take a look at what's coming up.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23The Reds are out of their league.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25We just wondered what you're asking for it?
0:01:25 > 0:01:27- £400.- Thank you.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Ouch!
0:01:29 > 0:01:30Panic sets in with the Blues.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34If it's gone... I feel like we're going to buy it.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37And things hit rock-bottom at the auction.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41- 50p.- Not a hand in sight.- Done!
0:01:41 > 0:01:44And I experience a trip of a lifetime.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47I can't quite believe that we are doing this.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51But that's all coming up a little later on.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54First, it's time to meet today's teams.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56And everyone today is a married couple.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00For the Reds we have Kabi and Holly and for the Blues,
0:02:00 > 0:02:03we have Johnny and Katie. Welcome, everyone. ALL: Hello!
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Thank you for joining us on Bargain Hunt today.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Holly, I'm coming straight to you first.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- Great.- I'd love to know how you and Kabi met.
0:02:09 > 0:02:14We were introduced through my cousin who was at university with Kabi.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18And now we are married for 14 years and have two children called Sammy and Poppy.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22That's lovely. And I believe that once romance blossomed then
0:02:22 > 0:02:23business came with it, too.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27Yes. We run a fashion PR agency in Shoreditch and we organise things
0:02:27 > 0:02:31like catwalks and spend our day talking to the media about fashion,
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- which is great.- So, when you're not working, Holly,
0:02:34 > 0:02:36tell me what you do in your spare time.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39We love to be outdoors so we go hiking and love going up to
0:02:39 > 0:02:42the Lake District with the kids and climbing all those fells.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Now, Kabi, a little birdie tells me you're a bit of a hoarder but you
0:02:45 > 0:02:47don't often buy antiques.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49What are you more accustomed to buying?
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Yeah, much to Holly's chagrin, a lot of my collecting is potentially
0:02:53 > 0:02:57hoarding, and it all started for me in the late '80s with a jeans
0:02:57 > 0:02:59commercial in a launderette that got me buying jeans.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01How many pairs of jeans are we talking?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- Over 100 but I wouldn't say specifically.- Seriously?
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Over 100 pairs of jeans?
0:03:06 > 0:03:08- It's our work.- I suppose.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11So you've obviously got an eye for buying antiques as well as fashion,
0:03:11 > 0:03:14so how do you reckon you're going to work today as the Red team on
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- Bargain Hunt?- I'm hoping today we'll be synchronised,
0:03:17 > 0:03:21we'll get the job done really quickly and buy things that we would like.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Oh, cool. It sounds like a bit of a democracy.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25No-one in particular going to be in charge?
0:03:25 > 0:03:26I think it will be a joint effort.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- Yeah.- Brilliant. Well, let's move on to your competitors.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Katie and Johnny. I'm going to start with you, Johnny.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Tell me, how did you two meet?
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Well, I was in the same class as Katie's sister at school,
0:03:35 > 0:03:40so I got to know her then and she got in touch with me through social
0:03:40 > 0:03:44media and now eight years later, happily married.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46That's great. So, Katie, you made the first move.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Yeah, it was after a couple of bottles of wine,
0:03:49 > 0:03:52a friend convinced me it was the greatest thing to do
0:03:52 > 0:03:54- and here we are. - Yeah, well, cheers to her.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- Now, what is it you do?- I manage a pub in the City of London.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01Oh, cool. Now, Katie, I believe that you have a very rewarding job,
0:04:01 > 0:04:02so tell us about that.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05It's a bit of a mouthful. I am a palliative care clinical nurse
0:04:05 > 0:04:08specialist. I work at a hospice in Hackney, east London.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11I believe that it's not just humans that you like looking after,
0:04:11 > 0:04:13you like our furry friends, too?
0:04:13 > 0:04:18Yeah. In another life I would have a petting zoo and a tea shop.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Mainly for me, but obviously for visitors as well.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Badgers, rabbits, anything goes, really.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Tell me about your tactics as the Blue team.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28I wouldn't say we've got fantastic knowledge,
0:04:28 > 0:04:31but I think Katie has got a keen eye for pretty things and she's got
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- some great bargaining skills. - Yeah, the haggling is left to me.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37OK. Well, you won't be able to do any shopping whatsoever without
0:04:37 > 0:04:40some money. So let me give you both £300.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Holly, 300 for you.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44And, Katie, 300 for you.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- Fantastic.- So, your experts are itching to meet you.
0:04:47 > 0:04:48Off you go and have a great time.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50- Thank you very much.- Bye!
0:04:50 > 0:04:51Well, enough of me rabbiting on.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53It's time to head to the fair.
0:04:53 > 0:04:58And giving the teams a little helping hand today are our experts.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Hoping to buy items that will rocket away for the Reds,
0:05:01 > 0:05:03it's Caroline Hawley.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Whilst Tim Weeks
0:05:06 > 0:05:09will be squeezing out any potential profit with the Blues.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13So, Holly, what are you looking for today?
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Well, I think I'm going to look for some silver.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17I collect vanity jars, so that's a bit of a passion.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- Katie?- Oh, I love a box, something to keep my trinkets in,
0:05:20 > 0:05:22or a nice piece of jewellery.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24I'll be looking for something a bit eclectic.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- Excellent.- Maybe a hip flask, something like that.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- Something booze related. - ROOSTER CROWS
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Wake up, teams. Your 60 minutes starts now.
0:05:31 > 0:05:32Let's get to work.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Let's go looking.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36That's an extensive shopping list, teams,
0:05:36 > 0:05:38but at least you have a plan in place
0:05:38 > 0:05:41and Tim's already spotted something right up Johnny's street.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43What about here, there's a bit of breweriana?
0:05:43 > 0:05:45- What do you think of these? - Do they sell well?
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Yeah, they will. I mean, they're not going to make huge money,
0:05:48 > 0:05:50but sometimes they can go for £30-40.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51Would you buy something like these?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53It's not taking my fancy, I must admit.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- OK.- No, I think I'm after something a bit older.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- Right, let's go, keep looking. - Oh, well. You tried, Tim.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00At least these two know what they like.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02What's Kabi spotted?
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Holly, here's a cute little box.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06- What about that one there? - I'm not a fan of that one.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08- I'm not either, Holly. - No, not enough interest.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10- Good, OK. Two against one. - Two against one.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Back in your box, Kabi.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14I think you are outnumbered there.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- Back to the Blues.- I do love animals. Anything with a duck?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- Does that appeal? - I like them kind of alive.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Yeah, OK. What's your favourite animal?
0:06:23 > 0:06:25- Badger or a rabbit. - Badgers and rabbits.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- So that's what we've got to look for today?- Yeah.- Badger and rabbit. OK.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- It's in there.- All right. - Let's make that happen.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Badger, rabbit, noted.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- Oh, look, Hol!- That's lovely.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38- That's what we were talking about. - That's really, really nice.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40It looks like a fairly complete set.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41- You both love it, don't you?- Yeah.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Yeah. I'd love to find out the price on them.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Let's see how much it is.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48We've seen the case here and we just wondered what you are asking for it.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50- £400. It is a very nice piece. - That's out of our price range.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52- Thank you.- Thanks.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53Well, that was short and sweet.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Expensive taste, team.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Never mind. Meanwhile, with the Blues, Johnny is reminiscing.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01This takes me back, sledging. It looks like it could still be used.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03OK. I would see this as a bit of furniture now.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- Yeah?- But that's great that you would get it on the slopes.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08I would get this at the bottom of the kids' bed and put a display of
0:07:08 > 0:07:11the dolls or maybe the soft toys on there.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12- Multifunctional.- Exactly.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Have a proper look. Is it in good condition?
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Is it sturdy enough? It looks sturdy.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18- It looks good, doesn't it? - Not hugely old, I guess.
0:07:18 > 0:07:19No.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Metal runners. Grease them up. That's going to fly.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23Yeah. Absolutely.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- I wonder how old it is?- I would have thought 1950s, 1960s.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28It's not hugely old. But I don't think it needs to be.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- Katie, what do you think? - I'm still undecided.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33I know it caught your eye, but...
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Maybe a back-up?
0:07:35 > 0:07:37OK. Yeah. Is it worth getting the price, anyway?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Good thinking, Tim.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40- Yeah, I guess.- Just so we know.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- Doesn't hurt.- OK. Let's go for it. - Yeah, why not, team?
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- Off you pop.- Good morning, sir.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47- Morning, how are you?- I'm very well. My name's Katie.- Hi, Katie.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50The sleigh, how much do you think you could do it for?
0:07:50 > 0:07:52It's a bargain at 20 quid.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- That's made me see it differently now.- Crikey, Katie.
0:07:55 > 0:07:56You've changed your tune.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58What do you think, boys?
0:07:58 > 0:07:59- It took me straightaway.- Come on.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Let's do it.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03- £20. Thank you very much. - Let's shake the man's hand.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- It's a pleasure.- Thanks very much.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07One down. Put it there. Let's get on it.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Move on to the next stall.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Ten minutes in and your first item is in the bag.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Hopefully it won't be all downhill from here.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Right, Reds. You're playing catch up, or are you playing croquet?
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- I quite like that. - It's a cute box, isn't it?
0:08:21 > 0:08:23- It is.- And it's quite nicely worn.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25And it's got the instruction in.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29The game of croquet was first played in France back in the 12th century.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32It was later brought to the UK in the 1300s.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Do you know what? There's a lot of people with lawns in this country
0:08:35 > 0:08:37- and I guess it's got quite broad appeal.- I think so.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38- Shall we ask the price?- Yes, yes.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Excuse me, can we just ask how much your croquet set is?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43- £70.- Is it complete?
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- I believe so. - What would you say to 45?
0:08:46 > 0:08:47I would say no to 45.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Interesting.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50I thought that might be the case.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51What would be your best price?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53The real best is £50 cash.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56And you've got the instructions.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- Which I like. - Which is nice and vintage.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02The more I think about it, I'm not sure whether we're going to make a margin on it at that price.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04It will have cost an awful lot more than that to buy.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Yeah, because it's the proper one,
0:09:06 > 0:09:08- with this make. - How do you feel, Holly?- I love it.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10I think this should be our first buy.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13I'm sensing that. And you're happy to go with the £50?
0:09:13 > 0:09:14- Yeah, let's do it.- Majority rule.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- Great.- Yay, well done, you! - Good man.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18Thank you very much. OK, bye.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20- Well done.- Brilliant!
0:09:20 > 0:09:22First buy done. 20 minutes in.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- Excellent.- Loving your work, Reds.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Very decisive.
0:09:27 > 0:09:28That's one item apiece, teams.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Back to the Blues. What's Tim spotted?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32What do you think of this?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34- It's caught my eye. - Yeah, I really like that.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36- What do you think of this? - An umbrella stand.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- In the form of an umbrella. - How clever.- Made of brass.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41I like that it's got compartments as well.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43That adds to it, adds to the charm and the appeal.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45I don't particularly like the look of it,
0:09:45 > 0:09:47but I'm definitely interested in its functionality.
0:09:47 > 0:09:48You see, I do like the look of it.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51I think it's both beautiful but also functional.
0:09:51 > 0:09:52How old do you think it is?
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Do you know what? I look from here and I think early 1900.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56- Really?- Brass was very popular.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Yeah, I know. But then, as you look a little bit closer,
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- and you do a bit of investigation... - Welded back together or...?
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- It looks it, doesn't it?- Yeah.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05And there you go. Look at that.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07- OK.- Not so appealing.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10For me, it's probably been two bits separate put together,
0:10:10 > 0:10:11but don't think it matters.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Because all three of us have got
0:10:13 > 0:10:15so attracted to it because of what it is.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17It's decorative, it's novelty, it's fun.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19That's what's going to get the hands up in the room.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21What I like about it, is the dealer has put the price on there,
0:10:21 > 0:10:23so it gives us a starting point.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Is it worth a go? Your turn to do some negotiating, I think.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27- I best have a go. - Come on then, big man.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29- Don't let us down.- Go on, Johnny. - We'll stay here.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31I just think it's fun, isn't it?
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- Yeah, I really like it.- It's not perfect condition, but it's not bad,
0:10:34 > 0:10:36is it? Good brass. It's heavy, isn't it?
0:10:36 > 0:10:38It doesn't look it, but it's got some weight to it.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- Have you sold anything like it before?- I have, I've sold them at
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- auction before.- OK.- I won't tell you what I think they can sell for,
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- let's see what Johnny's got for us. - Guess what? It's another £20.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48- Really?- Score.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49Two scores on the door.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51I want two as well. Get in there.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- Are we happy with that? - Yeah, he's happy to take that.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55OK, it's done. Done.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56- Come on, let's go.- Final one.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Well, it never rains but it pours.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01These Blues are on a buying bonanza.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03That's two items down, one to go.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Shall we have a look at this cabinet here?
0:11:05 > 0:11:07How are we looking on the clock, Caroline?
0:11:07 > 0:11:08Can I just say, I don't want to
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- stress you out, we've got 30 minutes.- OK!
0:11:10 > 0:11:13It's a Dorothy, Wizard Of Oz moment.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14It's really slipping away.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17You're just missing those ruby slippers and a dog called Toto.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Still, no need to panic yet.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21You're halfway through your shop.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Now, what's the Tin Man up to?
0:11:24 > 0:11:28We're two items down, two strong buys, it feels like, doesn't it?
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- Yes.- So let's just keep our eyes peeled for anything that just
0:11:31 > 0:11:33catches our eye, takes our fancy.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35- OK.- And we'll have a look at it.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Oh, eagle eyed Kabi is on it again.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39- I tell you what, Holly, can I grab your attention for a sec?- Yep.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Can you have a look at this?
0:11:41 > 0:11:45Now, I think judging by the little cuff link motifs,
0:11:45 > 0:11:49- that that might be a little cuff link box.- Or a stud box.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51- Yes.- It's a stud, a collar stud.
0:11:51 > 0:11:52That is rather charming.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- I like that.- Get my glasses out. - It's a nice gentleman's gift.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58That is... Do you know what I call gentleman's gifts?
0:11:58 > 0:12:02- Mantiques. - Oh.- That's what Holly calls me.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03Oh, does she?! A Mantique!
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- What do you think of the silver? - There's your hallmark.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07Can you see the lion passant?
0:12:07 > 0:12:09That means silver.
0:12:09 > 0:12:10- British Sterling silver.- Great.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13The anchor means that it's made in Birmingham.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15OK, great, which is good.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18And the maker's mark there, 1923.
0:12:18 > 0:12:23- I really like that.- That's really very plain and stunning.
0:12:23 > 0:12:24Also quite modern.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28Contemporary. Have you opened it and had a look inside?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31You see, gilded inside.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33- Silver gilt.- What do you think about the price?
0:12:33 > 0:12:36I know there's a little price on the base of the box.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40Well, 68, it's marked, we need to get it down a bit.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42But I think that's absolutely charming.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44I'm going to try and be a little bit confident with my negotiating,
0:12:44 > 0:12:47so let's see how we get a reaction.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- OK, go.- Very assertive, Kabi.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Good luck. How are the Blues getting on?
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Guys. I've found something.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- What have you got there?- It looks like an old set of kitchen scales.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02- Oh, right.- My grandfather was a butcher's so we grew up with those
0:13:02 > 0:13:05old-fashioned scales where you'd have to put the weights on.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07You've got the marble top.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Come and have a look at the back.
0:13:11 > 0:13:12It's nice and ornate, isn't it?
0:13:12 > 0:13:14- It doesn't excite me. - You're not convinced?
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- Not massively.- No?- No. - Let's keep looking.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- We've got plenty of time.- Yes. - We've got plenty of money.- OK.
0:13:19 > 0:13:20Yeah.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Ah, well, never mind, Katie.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Right then, Kabi, what's the news?
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- Good news, guys.- Yes?
0:13:28 > 0:13:31I tried my strongest charm, which is fairly weak,
0:13:31 > 0:13:34- but she's gone for the 40. - Yes!- Brilliant.
0:13:34 > 0:13:35- Second buy.- Yes.- Well done.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37- In the bag.- Excellent.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Well spotted, well bought.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41- Thank you.- Good work, man.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43That's two items apiece, teams.
0:13:43 > 0:13:4715 minutes left on the clock, let's get those last items in the can.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51Uh-oh, Blues, er, it seems, sledges aren't that rare around these parts.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55- Oh, no!- Oh, no, no, no!
0:13:55 > 0:13:56Ours is much nicer than that.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58- Really?- Come on, look at the condition.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Oh, right, they're two a penny now.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02- No, not at all. - Shall we have a look?
0:14:02 > 0:14:05There will only be one in the auction room we're going to.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- Touch wood.- Well...- I wouldn't be put off by this at all.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10It was £20. We've got to keep remembering that.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Keep the faith, Blues.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Meanwhile, Kabi's on the case again.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Could this be the Reds' final foray?
0:14:16 > 0:14:19- Beautiful.- Look at that, a stationery case.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Oh, that's lovely.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Look at the little address book.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25I think it's even still got its address book here.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27- That's lovely.- And it's unused.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29- No friends.- No!
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- Sad, sad.- It's really sweet, isn't it?
0:14:32 > 0:14:34- Do you like that, Hol?- I do.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36You know, I love things like that.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37- Shall we?- Yes.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41- Is there a price on the bottom? - There's no price on it.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45It's been monogrammed but that adds to its charm, I think.
0:14:45 > 0:14:50I think it does. It limits it in some ways, resale,
0:14:50 > 0:14:52but it does add to its charm.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55- I love the interior, the green leather.- Yeah.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57I've got a feeling, judging by the quality of these,
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- it's going to be quite expensive. - I think it's going to be expensive.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02- Shall I go and have an ask? - Go for it.- OK, cool, all right.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Whilst Kabi goes to find the best price,
0:15:05 > 0:15:08it seems the Blues are going with extreme seasonal buys today.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10First there was the sledge and now...
0:15:10 > 0:15:13What about this, guys?
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Wow. Oh, you do love an ice cream.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18- Look at that. - That is a big piece of kit.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Right, I'm going to use my nose on this one.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Can you still smell the cream?
0:15:22 > 0:15:23I can't smell much ice cream.
0:15:23 > 0:15:28- Chocolate, vanilla?- So, an original, what are we thinking, 1950s, '60s?
0:15:28 > 0:15:30- I reckon.- Ice cream freezer.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Do you think you can still get it working?
0:15:32 > 0:15:33Well, there's a plug.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37OK. Well, in the auction house we'll definitely have to cut that.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39There's no way we can sell it without it being PAC tested.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41That will go in the auction room and be cut.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43I don't think that would put off any potential buyers.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46If you want to buy something like this, you're serious.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- You're serious.- A novelty item? Or do you think people could get some use out of it?
0:15:49 > 0:15:52I think it's more a talking point. It turned our head in a condition like this.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Look, it's not great, is it?
0:15:54 > 0:15:55- No, it's not.- Condition wise.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Could you do anything really to make it much better looking?
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Yeah, you could sort that out and repaint it, of course you can.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01I think, let's go for it.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03The price is 80.
0:16:03 > 0:16:04£80, OK.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06I like it, but we've got a little bit of time left,
0:16:06 > 0:16:09maybe we could ask the dealer if he could hang onto it
0:16:09 > 0:16:11and we could see if there's anything else out there.
0:16:11 > 0:16:12Why don't I see what he wants for it?
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Sure. And see if he can hold onto it, we'll go and have a look.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17I'll go and have a chat with the dealer.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Yes, do it. So what are your reservations?
0:16:19 > 0:16:21There's still something nagging at you?
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Just the condition. Some people might just see it as a big lump.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26It's a particular buyer, there's no doubt.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30OK, so he said the best he could do it was 75 and I got him down to 60.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- Awesome.- Sounds good.
0:16:33 > 0:16:34Good negotiator, aren't you?
0:16:34 > 0:16:37So we know it's here, let's go and spend what, the last ten minutes?
0:16:37 > 0:16:39About that, are you comfortable?
0:16:39 > 0:16:41If we can't find anything, then we'll come back here.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43- Absolutely.- OK. - You want it, don't you?
0:16:43 > 0:16:45- Yeah.- I want it too. Come on then.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46Let's keep him happy.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Well, Johnny seems a bit flaky,
0:16:48 > 0:16:50but Katie seems keen.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Time to chill out, guys, and put that one on ice.
0:16:53 > 0:16:54Right, Kabi's back with a price.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56I've had a conversation.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58- Yes.- He wanted 55 for the case.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- OK.- I went in quite cheekily at 30 which he wasn't happy about,
0:17:01 > 0:17:03but he has agreed on 35.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04Oh, what do you think?
0:17:04 > 0:17:06I think that's amazing.
0:17:06 > 0:17:07I think it's a bit of steal.
0:17:07 > 0:17:08Yeah, I think that's great.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Well, I'm glad we're all in agreement
0:17:10 > 0:17:12because I think we've got our third item.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13- Excellent!- Well done.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Nice work, Reds.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18All three items in the bag and with plenty of time left.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19Good going.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22The Blues, however, are looking a little lost.
0:17:22 > 0:17:23We came that way, didn't we?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Have we done down here?
0:17:25 > 0:17:26No, not down here.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Come on, no time to waste.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30- What have we got?- Seven minutes.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Only seven minutes. Two minutes.
0:17:33 > 0:17:34Anything grabs us.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37That's seven minutes, teams, come on!
0:17:37 > 0:17:39A sense of urgency is what we need here.
0:17:39 > 0:17:40How do you feel about the shop?
0:17:40 > 0:17:43- Really happy. - I love all of the pieces.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44We'd buy them for ourselves,
0:17:44 > 0:17:46hopefully someone else will want them as well.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49I think it's a pretty accurate reflection of our taste level.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50I think they're amazing.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- Let's hope they do well at auction. - They will.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Cool, calm and confident with the Reds,
0:17:56 > 0:17:58a slightly different story over with the Blues.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00It's a minute away.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02If it's gone, I feel like we're going to buy it.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Come on.
0:18:04 > 0:18:05Let's follow the boss.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08The ice cream freezer. Time to run. Better late than never.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Come on, hurry up!
0:18:10 > 0:18:12I'll go and shake the dealer's hand.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17We'll hold onto it. She's still here. That's not going anywhere.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Yeah, there may be a reason it's still there!
0:18:19 > 0:18:21We said £60.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23- Yes.- Thank you.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Pop the kettle on, teams, your 60 minutes are up.
0:18:28 > 0:18:29It is ours.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33Hooray! That's three, put it there, put it there.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Right, who is making the ice cream?
0:18:35 > 0:18:37- I'm buying.- Well done.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43First up it was fun and games with the croquet set.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Price paid, £50.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Next up, the silver cufflink box set them back £40.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56And finally, the small leather case cost them £35.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02What can I say, Reds - cool, calm, collected, all done in 50 minutes,
0:19:02 > 0:19:03- how good is that?- Great.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06- Superb fun. - It was a great experience.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Caroline, you thought these guys were going to be good
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- and they delivered.- And they were. Absolutely excellent, brilliant.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13And you chose items that you really liked as well?
0:19:13 > 0:19:16- Yeah.- We loved... All three of the items we would have bought for ourselves.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19And you didn't spend too much money, 125, is that right?
0:19:19 > 0:19:21So we were quite good.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23- Quite conservative.- Who's got 175?
0:19:23 > 0:19:25- That will be me.- Ah, Kabi, I'll take that from you.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29But not for long, it's going straight over to Caroline Hawley.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31So, Caroline, has anything caught your eye?
0:19:31 > 0:19:33One or two things, but I haven't made my mind up yet.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Well, Caroline's still to make up her mind,
0:19:35 > 0:19:37so while she goes and finds a bonus buy,
0:19:37 > 0:19:39let's remind ourselves what the Blue team bought.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43First up, the sledge will be sliding its way to the auction
0:19:43 > 0:19:45after the team paid £20.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Next, the umbrella stand set them back £20, too.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54And finally, will the ice cream freezer whip up a storm
0:19:54 > 0:19:56at the auction? Price paid, £60.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Well, Katie, Johnny, well done.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01I didn't think for a second you were going to make it but you did,
0:20:01 > 0:20:04within 60 minutes, get three fun items.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Now, Katie, which is your favourite?
0:20:06 > 0:20:08I think probably the ice cream storer.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Do you think it's going to bring the biggest profit?
0:20:10 > 0:20:12No, probably the umbrella stand, I think.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14What about you, Johnny, do you agree?
0:20:14 > 0:20:16If the right person's in the room for that ice cream freezer,
0:20:16 > 0:20:18- it could really take off. - Is that your favourite, too?
0:20:18 > 0:20:20I think it is now. They talked me into it, for sure.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23I'm glad we've gone for it, I think we all agree on that, don't we?
0:20:23 > 0:20:26- Absolutely.- We had to really put our money on the line for it.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28You didn't have to put that much money on the line for it,
0:20:28 > 0:20:30because only £100 spent.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Crazy for three good items.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Yeah, I cannot believe someone has given me £300
0:20:34 > 0:20:37and I've only spent £100!
0:20:37 > 0:20:39You wouldn't believe how many people say that.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41So, who's got 200 left over?
0:20:41 > 0:20:42- We have.- Thank you very much.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- Thank you very much. - What are you going to spend £200 on?
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Well, I think you have very good interests.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49You with the pub, you with your animals.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51I'm not going to be able to please both of you.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53I don't think I'm going to find a drunken rabbit,
0:20:53 > 0:20:56but I think I can find something that maybe edges towards you or you,
0:20:56 > 0:20:59- but one of you is going to love it, I'm sure.- That's fine.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01- Excellent.- We'll take that.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03So, while Tim goes off on his quest,
0:21:03 > 0:21:05I'm going off on a mission of my own.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11This is Biggin Hill Airport near Bromley,
0:21:11 > 0:21:13one of nine airports which serve London,
0:21:13 > 0:21:15mainly for the business and commercial market.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18However, it hasn't always been that way.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Best known for its role during the Battle of Britain,
0:21:21 > 0:21:24it was home to the most famous fighter aircraft of all,
0:21:24 > 0:21:25the Spitfire.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28It entered RAF service in August 1938
0:21:28 > 0:21:33and its superiority against the enemy was vital in defending Britain.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37Over 20,000 of these iconic aircraft were produced.
0:21:37 > 0:21:38After restoration,
0:21:38 > 0:21:41there are now approximately 60 Spitfires flying again.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46It played a major role in securing the ultimate Allied victory
0:21:46 > 0:21:50and the Spitfire truly deserves its accolade as one of,
0:21:50 > 0:21:54if not the, most successful fighter planes ever designed.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59The Heritage Hangar is home to over 12 Spitfires.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03Most are privately owned but all have been lovingly restored
0:22:03 > 0:22:04to their former glory.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07I've joined Peter Monk to find out more
0:22:07 > 0:22:09about these incredible aircraft.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11So, Peter, tell me,
0:22:11 > 0:22:14how did the business of restoring Spitfires come round?
0:22:14 > 0:22:16It goes back several years.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19I've always had a fascination in the Second World War,
0:22:19 > 0:22:21and certainly the history of it,
0:22:21 > 0:22:24so I started collecting small parts to airframe components.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27At that point, I decided I had enough parts to actually start
0:22:27 > 0:22:28the restoration of a Spitfire.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Now we've got 14 in various states.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34I'm looking around at rather picture perfect planes, but they don't start
0:22:34 > 0:22:37like this, so how do you go about restoring them?
0:22:37 > 0:22:39It depends on what you actually start with.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41You could start on something which just gives you
0:22:41 > 0:22:43the bare serial number of the aircraft or as much as
0:22:43 > 0:22:46a complete aeroplane that might have been in storage
0:22:46 > 0:22:48for anything up to 50 years.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51What's the biggest obstacle that you encounter, is it corrosion?
0:22:51 > 0:22:55Yes, it is, corrosion and the parts just being missing altogether.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59So we might have to find the drawings and remanufacture parts.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Well, everyone is hard at work restoring some planes
0:23:01 > 0:23:04but I'd love to see one that's already been brought back
0:23:04 > 0:23:06to its former glory. You must have one in the hangar here?
0:23:06 > 0:23:08We have. Do you want to have a look?
0:23:08 > 0:23:10- Please, yes, I'd love to.- Let's go. - Thank you.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16This particular Spitfire was the MG 627.
0:23:18 > 0:23:23It entered service with the Canadian Air Force on September 25th 1944.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Its pilot, Officer Sydney Bregman.
0:23:30 > 0:23:31After World War II,
0:23:31 > 0:23:34this Spitfire was eventually converted and sold
0:23:34 > 0:23:36as a two-seater trainer to the Irish Air Corps.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41The Heritage Hangar received the aircraft in 2014.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46So, this is the finished article?
0:23:46 > 0:23:48- Yes, it is.- It's really beautiful.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Absolutely, there are only five in the country and for our purposes,
0:23:51 > 0:23:53giving experience rides in the Spitfire, it's perfect.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56That was my next question actually, is she fit to fly?
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Yes, she is, and she's ready to go today and you can go up in her.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01- What do I have to do? - Well, first of all,
0:24:01 > 0:24:03I'll introduce you to Pete who's going to take you flying.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05- Nice to meet you. - So, Pete, shall I follow you?
0:24:05 > 0:24:09- Yes, let's go.- OK.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Whilst I get suited and booted,
0:24:11 > 0:24:14the ground team scramble and get the aircraft ready
0:24:14 > 0:24:15for me to take to the skies.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Right, I've had my briefing, my suit's on
0:24:21 > 0:24:23and it's time to go flying.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25I actually can't believe it, I'm going in a Spitfire!
0:24:25 > 0:24:26Come on.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31It's not every day you get to go up in a Spitfire, is it?
0:24:31 > 0:24:35I absolutely love flying and this is a chance not to be missed.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39I'm a little bit nervous but more than anything, I'm really excited.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41I know that my dad will be jealous when he sees this.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Right then, I think we're set. Chocks away!
0:24:52 > 0:24:56MUSIC: Ride of the Valkyries by Richard Wagner
0:25:03 > 0:25:06I can't quite believe that we're doing this!
0:25:06 > 0:25:09It's not easy to sit here and admire the view.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13It's much more difficult to get yourself into the mindset
0:25:13 > 0:25:16of a fighter. I can't imagine how they were able to concentrate.
0:25:16 > 0:25:21It feels as though this glass canopy is designed for viewing pleasure
0:25:21 > 0:25:24but then you start to think to yourself, of course,
0:25:24 > 0:25:28this was a viewpoint to see how many people were trying to shoot you down around you.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Yes. What we'll do now is, we'll start heading back
0:25:31 > 0:25:33towards the airfield to land.
0:25:35 > 0:25:40Sadly, after only 20 minutes, it was time to get back on terra firma.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55- Thank you very much.- My pleasure.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58That was like nothing I've ever experienced.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01A complete once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02And one that I recommend.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Thank you, Pete. Now, as they say, chocks away,
0:26:05 > 0:26:08as we head to the auction.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17Well, I've flown up to Farley and here I am at Southon's Auction Rooms
0:26:17 > 0:26:19with Catherine Southon herself.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Oh, Natasha!
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Catherine, thank you so much for having us along.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25It's an absolute pleasure.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27We're starting with the Reds with the croquet set.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29What do you think of this vintage set?
0:26:29 > 0:26:30I quite like a bit of croquet myself.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32I mean, it's a great name, it's a fantastic company.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35This company has been going for 200 years.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37They're actually based about five miles from here
0:26:37 > 0:26:40so it's a nice good, local piece, which is what we like.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42It's not in the best condition
0:26:42 > 0:26:44but you have got the original instructions, which is nice.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45OK, so how optimistic?
0:26:45 > 0:26:48I was very optimistic, I put 60 to 80.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Well, Kabi and Holly will be chuffed because they paid 50.
0:26:51 > 0:26:52OK, yeah, not bad.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- Sounds about right!- Then we move on to this silver stud case here.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57I think it's a sweet little case.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00You can put your cuff links in it and it's quite understated.
0:27:00 > 0:27:011920s in date.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Do you think it's going to get your buyers salivating?
0:27:04 > 0:27:08Well, I don't know about that but they might be a little bit excited.
0:27:08 > 0:27:09I think 20 to 40.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Fantastic. Well, they did pay the upper end of your estimate, £40,
0:27:12 > 0:27:15so they will be egging you on when you're on the rostrum.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17- I will do my best. - I'm sure you will.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Then, their last item was this case here.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23How popular is this going to be amongst your buyers?
0:27:23 > 0:27:25People have been looking at it, Natasha.
0:27:25 > 0:27:26Really? Pawing it.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29They have been. They've been admiring it.
0:27:29 > 0:27:30It's in lovely condition.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32So, what do you reckon, estimate wise?
0:27:32 > 0:27:34A nice cosy 30 to 50.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Fantastic, because they only paid £35.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40- Perfect.- I mean, it all sounds plain sailing judging by these estimates.
0:27:40 > 0:27:41I think we might be OK.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Well, if it doesn't go to plan, they might need their bonus buy,
0:27:44 > 0:27:47so let's find out what Caroline bought for the Reds.
0:27:48 > 0:27:53So, Kabi, Holly, you left Caroline £175.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56I don't know what you were thinking, doing that!
0:27:56 > 0:27:58- Is that dangerous? - Very dangerous, very dangerous.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01Now, Caroline, are you itching to show us what you got?
0:28:01 > 0:28:03- I am.- Oh, wow.
0:28:03 > 0:28:04Yes, that's lovely.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06How much did you pay for it?
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Well, shall I tell you a bit about it first?
0:28:08 > 0:28:10- Yes.- Now, it's walnut.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13It's mid-19th century.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16This beautiful brass strap work here.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18It's in fabulous condition.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20Open it up, silk lined.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22A little jewellery casket.
0:28:22 > 0:28:27- Lovely.- So, after all that, I paid 35.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30- Oh, wow.- Great, yeah. - Which I think is a great price.
0:28:30 > 0:28:31I think that's really good.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33The golden question, I guess, is,
0:28:33 > 0:28:35what do you think it will make at the auction?
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Well, I think it should make between 40 and 60.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40- OK.- What is not to like about this box?
0:28:40 > 0:28:42I think it's lovely.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44- You've bought well. - Thank you, thank you.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Well, you seem rather enthused, but remember,
0:28:46 > 0:28:48you don't need to make your mind up now.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50We'll see how you're getting on at the auction.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52Then we'll come to the bonus buy.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54So, in the meantime, let's find out what Catherine thinks
0:28:54 > 0:28:56of Caroline's casket.
0:28:57 > 0:29:02So, they may or may not need this walnut-veneered jewellery casket.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06Well, you know, these aren't the most saleable things,
0:29:06 > 0:29:09but as far as little caskets go like this, walnut veneered,
0:29:09 > 0:29:10this is a nice example.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12I like the strap work on it.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14Again, in very good condition.
0:29:14 > 0:29:15Late 19th-century.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17It's 30 to £40 all day long.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19Well, Caroline might be sighing a sigh of relief
0:29:19 > 0:29:22- because she paid £35 for it. - She's a good girl.
0:29:22 > 0:29:26- She did good.- Let's turn our attention to the Blues now,
0:29:26 > 0:29:27Johnny and Katie,
0:29:27 > 0:29:28and their first item.
0:29:28 > 0:29:29I don't see any snow
0:29:29 > 0:29:31so is it appropriate that they bought a sledge?
0:29:31 > 0:29:34Well, no. The thing is, it's all about the seasons, isn't it?
0:29:34 > 0:29:37We've got the timing completely wrong today, no snow.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39I've put 40 to 60.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Well hopefully it proves that you've been correct
0:29:41 > 0:29:44- because they only paid £20 for it.- Oh, did they?
0:29:44 > 0:29:46They'll be all right then.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50So, we move on from the winter sports to this umbrella stand.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52I love this sort of thing.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54It's really quirky, but, Catherine,
0:29:54 > 0:29:56I think you're going to tell me you don't like it.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00Well, when I saw it from a distance, I thought, that is actually OK.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03Then I got closer and thought, it actually couldn't be any worse.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05- Who did this?- Who did this? Who made this?
0:30:05 > 0:30:08It's really poor quality, and actually if you look at
0:30:08 > 0:30:10the base of it, you can see how once upon a time,
0:30:10 > 0:30:13it was in two halves and it's just been re-soldered,
0:30:13 > 0:30:15- so it's not great, Natasha, I'm afraid.- OK.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18But your buyers have been inspecting it closely, I'm sure.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20- Oh, yes.- What are you expecting them to fork out?
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Maybe, if we're lucky, 20 to 40.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25Well, do you know, they won't be too upset about that.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27Again, £20 paid.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29- Pretty good.- Not a crazy price.
0:30:29 > 0:30:33- No.- We do move onto something pretty crazy now.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35It's our ice cream freezer, Catherine.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38OK, when I saw this, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41It's great in so many ways because it reminds you of your childhood.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44You rewind back and you think about the days going to the newsagents
0:30:44 > 0:30:47and diving in the freezer to get your favourite lolly,
0:30:47 > 0:30:51but it's seen better days. It's appalling, can we say.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53What can I say, it's appalling.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56What would you do with it now? What do you do with it?
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Are you worried about this when it comes to the estimate?
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Yes, I can't tell you, I've had sleepless nights.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02Oh, really? OK, so, what have you ended up with?
0:31:02 > 0:31:06I've ended up with a generous £10-15.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10OK. Well, take your ten and times that by six.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12- Really?- That's what the team paid for it.
0:31:12 > 0:31:13- £60.- What were they thinking?
0:31:13 > 0:31:15This could be their downfall.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Do you know what, though? I could be so wrong.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20We could have people queueing to buy this.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Well, at £10-15, just in case you're so right,
0:31:23 > 0:31:25they might need their bonus buy,
0:31:25 > 0:31:27so let's find out what Tim bought for the Blues.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31Well, Johnny, Katie, what can we call you,
0:31:31 > 0:31:32the last of the big spenders?
0:31:32 > 0:31:34£100 is all you spent!
0:31:34 > 0:31:37- Frugal.- A paltry sum.- Very frugal.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41But it means that Tim was left with £200, so I'm interested,
0:31:41 > 0:31:43I'm sure you are, to know what's under that cloth.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45I can't wait to see it.
0:31:45 > 0:31:46Oh, yes!
0:31:46 > 0:31:49- Oh, wow.- What do you think? It's a badger.
0:31:49 > 0:31:50My favourite animal, badgers.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52Oh, my goodness.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54Have a hold of it. I think you might have mentioned
0:31:54 > 0:31:55- that you like badgers.- A few times.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57So I went running around everywhere,
0:31:57 > 0:31:59"Anything with a badger? Anything with a badger?"
0:31:59 > 0:32:00Finally, I found a badger.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03- Can we take it home? - No! We need to sell it.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05How much did you pay for it?
0:32:05 > 0:32:10Well, I've paid perhaps a little bit more than I'd want, and I paid £65.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13I would happily pay £65 for this.
0:32:13 > 0:32:14- Good.- It's very pretty.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17How much do you think it's going to fetch?
0:32:17 > 0:32:1940 to 60. I paid at the high end.
0:32:19 > 0:32:20- There's a chance. - I'm really chuffed.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23I absolutely love it. That's the main thing.
0:32:23 > 0:32:24- Look at him.- Good job.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26Oh, no, I'm looking a bit mad now, aren't I?
0:32:26 > 0:32:28No-one said that, Katie.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30But the thing is, when it comes to the auction,
0:32:30 > 0:32:32we'll see how you're getting on
0:32:32 > 0:32:35and then you can decide whether to go with your head or your heart,
0:32:35 > 0:32:38which is obviously beating quickly for that badger.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41So, in the meantime, we'll leave Katie to enjoy the badger
0:32:41 > 0:32:44and we'll find out what Catherine thinks of the Royal Crown Derby.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Right, Catherine, how do you feel about badgers?
0:32:47 > 0:32:49I know some view them as a pest
0:32:49 > 0:32:53but do you think this is a very sweet little badger?
0:32:53 > 0:32:54It is quite sweet.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58I mean, it's a very classic pattern, the Old Imari pattern,
0:32:58 > 0:32:59the Royal Crown Derby.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01Heavily embellished in this gilt decoration.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05It is collectable, so, yeah, it's got a chance.
0:33:05 > 0:33:06What do you reckon people will pay?
0:33:06 > 0:33:09£40-60 is my guide price.
0:33:09 > 0:33:1240 to 60, well, you'll have to work your magic
0:33:12 > 0:33:14- because Tim paid £65 for it. - It might.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17OK, you know your mark, so hopefully you'll reach it.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20- I'll try.- Are you looking forward to the sale today?
0:33:20 > 0:33:22I'm so excited, I really am,
0:33:22 > 0:33:24and I'm going to work really hard on everything.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27- I will really try. - OK, Catherine, do your best.
0:33:29 > 0:33:30£40, seated.
0:33:34 > 0:33:35So, here we are, auction time.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37- How are you feeling?- Excited.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39- Nervous.- All the emotions?
0:33:39 > 0:33:42- All at once.- It's Holly's first time in an auction.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Oh, my goodness.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47I've watched so many on telly but actually to be live at one...
0:33:47 > 0:33:50If you're ready, for the first time ever, here comes the croquet set.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53This is the vintage Jaques croquet set in a wooden box.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56Now this has its original instructions with it
0:33:56 > 0:33:58and all its bits and bobs
0:33:58 > 0:34:00and I already have £60 bid.

0:35:40 > 0:35:41I don't even know what to say.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44You've just made, on that item,
0:35:44 > 0:35:47a £55 profit, which means that overall,
0:35:47 > 0:35:50you've just made £125.
0:35:50 > 0:35:51Awesome!
0:35:51 > 0:35:53Brilliant!
0:35:53 > 0:35:56What is going on? Your first-ever auction!
0:35:56 > 0:35:59- That's quite a surprise.- But are you going to go with the bonus buy?
0:35:59 > 0:36:02- You don't have to. - Are we going to stick?
0:36:02 > 0:36:03- Shall we just stick? - Would you mind if we stick?
0:36:03 > 0:36:06I don't mind, not one bit.
0:36:06 > 0:36:07I think we're going to stick.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10- You're going to stick? - It's a really good price but...
0:36:10 > 0:36:11So good, but...
0:36:11 > 0:36:14- You've made a really good profit. - I like the spookiness of the 125.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17You've doubled your money? You're going to stick with that?
0:36:17 > 0:36:18- Is that OK with you?- Let's stick.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20OK, this one's just for Caroline then.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24We have the jewellery casket with the nice brass banding.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26What shall we say for this? £30?
0:36:26 > 0:36:27Oh, she's looking for 30.
0:36:27 > 0:36:28Thank you.
0:36:28 > 0:36:29There's a lady with style.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31£30 and I'm looking for five.

0:36:49 > 0:36:51£70, I have, seated at the back.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53£70, fair warning.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55Oh, my goodness.
0:36:55 > 0:36:59It's difficult because you made such a profit.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01- It's very difficult. - Playing it too safe.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04Caroline, you doubled your money,
0:37:04 > 0:37:06£35 paid, 70.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09So, you could have had 160
0:37:09 > 0:37:12but you passed on the bonus buy, but worry not,
0:37:12 > 0:37:15you just made £125, Reds, well done.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18But listen, the Blues are yet to come and they could make more,
0:37:18 > 0:37:22so don't tell them anything and see how you get on when the results come in.
0:37:22 > 0:37:23- Mum's the word.- Well done!
0:37:25 > 0:37:2740. Five.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36- How are you all feeling?- I haven't been this nervous for a long time.
0:37:36 > 0:37:37- Really?- I'm excited.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Very excited, yeah.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41- Giddy?- Nervous.
0:37:41 > 0:37:42You look like you're going to burst.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47You're a bundle of nerves, all of you, but you don't have to be.
0:37:47 > 0:37:48Our first one is our sledge.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50It's coming up now.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53OK, it's not quite the weather, but
0:37:53 > 0:37:56you all need a vintage pine sledge.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58And we've got a lot of hills around here.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00I'm looking for £40.
0:38:00 > 0:38:01Who's going to give me £40?
0:38:01 > 0:38:03You've all got to bid on this.
0:38:03 > 0:38:04Come on, £30, then.
0:38:04 > 0:38:0530 to get going.
0:38:05 > 0:38:06£30 is bid.
0:38:06 > 0:38:07Thank you. You all want this.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09Five. Straight in. 40.
0:38:09 > 0:38:10Five. 50.
0:38:10 > 0:38:11- Why not?- Come on.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13- Oh, my God!- And another. And five.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15£55. 55.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17Is there another at 60, then?
0:38:17 > 0:38:20£55, fair warning at 55.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22- Get in.- How much, how much?
0:38:22 > 0:38:24- £55!- Amazing.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27You've just made a £35 profit.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31Let's keep it up. We're going from wood to brass.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Here's the umbrella stand.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35We have a brass umbrella stand in
0:38:35 > 0:38:37the form of a half-open umbrella.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39Who's going to bid me £20 for this?
0:38:39 > 0:38:41£20.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43- Come on.- £20, come on.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46Thank you. £20 I have on the phone.
0:38:46 > 0:38:47Five, now.
0:38:47 > 0:38:4830. And five.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51- We're in profit.- It's amazing!

0:38:53 > 0:38:54- Come on.- 50.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58- And five.- Come on, guys.- Amazing!
0:38:58 > 0:38:5960. And five.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01Come on, Tim.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03You're a winner. I love you.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05- I like it. I like it more now. - I love you.
0:39:05 > 0:39:0770. And five.
0:39:07 > 0:39:1080. No more, thank you, anywhere?
0:39:10 > 0:39:11I've got £80.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13£80 is on the phone.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15£80. Any more at £80?
0:39:15 > 0:39:18All done, £80.
0:39:18 > 0:39:19- Get in there.- Oh, my...
0:39:19 > 0:39:21Wow!
0:39:21 > 0:39:22£80. OK.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25Just so you know, you've made a £60 profit
0:39:25 > 0:39:28and you're currently £95 up.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30All on the freezer.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32Our £60 freezer.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Let's hold hands, girls, come on.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38Please note that this is not being sold as a freezer,
0:39:38 > 0:39:40it's being sold for decorative purposes.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43So who's going to give me £10 to start this?
0:39:43 > 0:39:46£10. I'll even throw in some ice cream.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49- Yes! £10.- £10, come on, £10.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51Someone. Surely.
0:39:51 > 0:39:52£5?
0:39:52 > 0:39:54£5? Seriously?
0:39:54 > 0:39:55£5.
0:39:55 > 0:39:56£1.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59Yes!
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Surely £1.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03Somebody's got to buy it for a pound.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05I'm so ashamed, I'm so...
0:40:05 > 0:40:0850p.
0:40:08 > 0:40:09- 50p.- Not a hand in sight.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11You can do what you want with it.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14Let's be honest, you made quite a loss on that.
0:40:14 > 0:40:15You've lost £60.
0:40:15 > 0:40:19Unbelievable. But don't worry, you are still in front.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21£35 is what you've ended up with.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23But you have one more decision to make -
0:40:23 > 0:40:26whether or not you love your badger enough
0:40:26 > 0:40:28to take him into the bonus buy?
0:40:28 > 0:40:30- We do.- Are you going to do it? - Yeah, I think so.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32Right, you've gone with the badger,
0:40:32 > 0:40:33100% behind the bonus buy.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36- Most definitely.- Keep everything crossed, here it comes.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40OK. We have a modern Royal Crown Derby Old Imari badger.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43£30. £30 is bid, thank you.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45£30. I've got five, now.
0:40:45 > 0:40:4635 against you, madam.
0:40:46 > 0:40:47£40.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49£40 seated.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51Any more at 40, then?
0:40:51 > 0:40:53£40. 45, now.
0:40:53 > 0:40:5550. Five.
0:40:55 > 0:40:5760. No more, are you sure?
0:40:57 > 0:40:58£60, then.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00£60 all done.
0:41:00 > 0:41:01Oh!
0:41:01 > 0:41:04That's what you thought it would make.
0:41:04 > 0:41:05Worth a go, worth a go.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07£60. Tim, you paid 65.
0:41:07 > 0:41:08You lost a fiver,
0:41:08 > 0:41:10but you have made a profit,
0:41:10 > 0:41:12but the Reds may have made a profit, too.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15It's all to play for. So, poker face, say nothing to the Reds.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17- OK.- OK?- Top stuff.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19Well done.
0:41:20 > 0:41:21Fair warning.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30Well, teams, what a show.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32Everyone's looking rather smug, aren't they,
0:41:32 > 0:41:36thinking, "We made a profit!" Because everybody made a profit.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38- Both teams.- Oh, gosh.
0:41:38 > 0:41:42So the question is, who made the bigger profit?
0:41:42 > 0:41:46Well, I can reveal to you now that the more smug team,
0:41:46 > 0:41:48the winners today...
0:41:49 > 0:41:51..the Reds.
0:41:51 > 0:41:56With a profit of £125.
0:41:56 > 0:41:57Smashed it.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59Amazing. But let's turn to you in a moment,
0:41:59 > 0:42:03because we'll start with our runners-up, the Blues.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06Two profits in a row, everything was going to plan.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08And then, the freezer.
0:42:08 > 0:42:09What can we say? You missed this, guys.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11Freezer-gate was immense.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13A loss of £60.
0:42:13 > 0:42:14Oh, it was such a shame.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17You were on course, but, in the end you came away with a profit,
0:42:17 > 0:42:19- so worry not.- Absolutely.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21£30. And tell me, how competitive are you,
0:42:21 > 0:42:23does it hurt that you've become runners-up today?
0:42:23 > 0:42:24It does, actually, because, you know,
0:42:24 > 0:42:27a profit on Bargain Hunt is pretty hard to come by, sometimes.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29So, yeah. But fair play.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32- Yeah, fair play to you both. - Good stuff by the Reds.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35Let me tell you, you had some stiff competition,
0:42:35 > 0:42:37because not only did these guys make £125,
0:42:37 > 0:42:40they've made a profit on every single item,
0:42:40 > 0:42:43which can only mean one thing on Bargain Hunt,
0:42:43 > 0:42:45you get a golden gavel.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47- Bring it on.- This is it.
0:42:47 > 0:42:48One for you, Holly.
0:42:48 > 0:42:52Thank you very much. Kabi, to complete your look, a golden gavel.
0:42:52 > 0:42:56And, once you've got those on, don't get too comfortable,
0:42:56 > 0:43:01because you've got to make more space for £125!
0:43:01 > 0:43:04- Well done.- Great.- Amazing. Thank you.- Thank you very much.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06Well, if you're sitting at home thinking,
0:43:06 > 0:43:10"I could make more profit," then why not apply to be on the show?
0:43:10 > 0:43:12You'll find all the details on our website.
0:43:12 > 0:43:15And, of course, you can follow us on Twitter these days.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19But keep tuning in. Let me ask you one more question.
0:43:19 > 0:43:22Will you join me again for some more Bargain Hunting?
0:43:22 > 0:43:25- Yes? ALL:- Yes!
