0:00:02 > 0:00:05Hello and welcome to the show from Hungerford in Berkshire today.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07Follow me, I'll show you around.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10There are plenty of shops for our teams to peruse in the high street.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12But with only one hour, they'll need to get their skates on.
0:00:15 > 0:00:16It could be a buying bonanza.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20I'm worn out after all that.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23But there's no time to rest, we've got to get things kicked off.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25So let's go Bargain Hunting.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53There is documented evidence that dates Hungerford high street back to
0:00:53 > 0:00:55as early as 1200 AD.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Well, I'm not sure that our teams will be unearthing any relics that old today.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Although, they do have their experts.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Let's have a look at what's to come.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07The Reds need medical assistance.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09You've got those heart pills on you?
0:01:09 > 0:01:11I have.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14And the Blues are slightly obsessed with...
0:01:14 > 0:01:15Quirky things.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17There's some quirky animals down here.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19He's quite quirky, isn't he?
0:01:19 > 0:01:21- Yes.- Maybe a bit too quirky.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24And over at the auction, there is relief with the Reds...
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Right, so that's where it lands.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29..and disbelief with the blues.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Heart stopper.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32But that's all coming up later.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35First, importantly, it's time to meet today's teams.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38And we've got a great show lined up for you, because for the Reds,
0:01:38 > 0:01:40we have great friends Clare and Sheena.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43For the Blues, we've got a lovely couple, Cat and Sean.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44- Hello, everyone. ALL:- Hello!
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Thank you for joining us today.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47I'll turn to the Reds first.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Clare, tell me, how did you and Sheena meet?
0:01:50 > 0:01:52We met on a flight, flying as cabin crew.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54I can't remember which one,
0:01:54 > 0:01:57but we met on a flight and we had a great time in the bar that night.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59And you hit it off right away, I believe.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- Yeah, we did.- And did you do long haul flights, the two of you?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Yeah, we did. We're both long haul.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Sometimes you get a wee day off on location, don't you?
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Sometimes we had more than one.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08We had a week in Mauritius, do you remember?
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- Yeah, we did. That was a good one. - Yeah, that was good.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Now, tell me, when you're not jetting off and catching up for a coffee,
0:02:13 > 0:02:16as I believe you do, what do you like to do in your spare time, Clare?
0:02:16 > 0:02:19I've got a lurcher called Rodney, so I like to walk him.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21I like a bit of calligraphy.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25I like watching my son play water polo and rugby.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26I love that your dog's called Rodney.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29There's a bit of a Del Boy and Rodney action going on there.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32He's a plonker!
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Sheena, tell me about the air stewarding, then.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36I've got to hear, there must be some gossip, surely?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39There's been so many instances where we've had a laugh.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42I remember once when we were carrying the late Sir Roger Moore and his
0:02:42 > 0:02:46wife, and we were in first class, carving the beef and doing lunch.
0:02:46 > 0:02:51So I turned to them, and I said, "You know, we've got carrots, broccoli,
0:02:51 > 0:02:53which ones would you like, Mr..."
0:02:53 > 0:02:54And I was thinking, "Oh, gosh.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56What's his name? What's his name?"
0:02:56 > 0:02:58And then it suddenly came, "Oh, Mr Bond..."
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Well, everyone was just in fits.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02The whole cabin, I think, were laughing.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04- It was hilarious.- And what was his reaction?
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Well, he just giggled the whole way through.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07That is so funny. But what a man to meet.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Yeah, I know. He's fabulous.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13So great. And what about now, because you've given up air hostessing,
0:03:13 > 0:03:15so what do you do for a living now?
0:03:15 > 0:03:18At the moment, I'm a companion to the elderly, which I'm really enjoying,
0:03:18 > 0:03:21because I've never done anything like that before.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24And I've got a couple of lovely ladies, and we just chat,
0:03:24 > 0:03:27they tell me all about their history, they're fascinating.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30And we go for cups of tea, they're like my best friends.
0:03:30 > 0:03:31I'm really enjoying it.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34- Yeah, it's great.- That's so lovely. Real job satisfaction?
0:03:34 > 0:03:36- Definitely, yeah.- Right, let's get down to business.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38How are you going to work as a team?
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Probably choosing things that we love.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43When we go round the charity shops, we just love the same things,
0:03:43 > 0:03:46- don't we.- Yeah, generally, if we both like it, it'll be all right.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48OK, do you think you're going to spend big?
0:03:48 > 0:03:50- I think so.- Could do!- Yeah. Yeah, I think we will.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54I like your tactics! Let's turn to your competition, Cat and Sean.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Now, Cat, tell me, you think you're going to make a great team,
0:03:57 > 0:04:01- why is that?- Yeah, we've been together for about three years now.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03And we do work very well as a team,
0:04:03 > 0:04:07so hopefully, that will come out today
0:04:07 > 0:04:09and we'll make lots of money.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11So as a couple, you like to go on date nights.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Some of them are quite infamous, so tell me about those.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Yeah, we do it once a week, we each take it in turns.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20And the idea is that you can't spend more than £7.50,
0:04:20 > 0:04:23and it has to be something novel that we've never done before.
0:04:23 > 0:04:24And it's really good,
0:04:24 > 0:04:26some of them have turned out to be a bit flat.
0:04:26 > 0:04:27Tell me about a flat one.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29I don't want to insult Sean now!
0:04:29 > 0:04:31It was his idea!
0:04:31 > 0:04:37- Playing conkers, that's probably a flat one. - We did, we played conkers. - Not much of a date, Sean.
0:04:37 > 0:04:38- That's OK.- We didn't go far.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Now, tell me, when you're not getting up to mad things on your date nights,
0:04:41 > 0:04:43what do you like to do in your spare time, Cat?
0:04:43 > 0:04:45So, in my spare time, I like to go horse riding.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49I used to do it quite a lot as a child competitively.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51But now I just do it for a bit of fun, really.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Also, there is a sport that you love.
0:04:54 > 0:04:59Yes. We both support Gloucester Rugby, being from there.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01We are keen supporters, we can walk to the rugby ground,
0:05:01 > 0:05:03and we go most other weekends.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06- Most home games, yeah.- Most home games, when it's on.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Every other week, when the season's on.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Now, Sean, tell me, that's obviously what you do in your spare time,
0:05:10 > 0:05:12but what do you do for a living?
0:05:12 > 0:05:13Well, I work for a timber agency.
0:05:13 > 0:05:18So we help sawmills in Sweden and Finland sell their timber to companies
0:05:18 > 0:05:23in the UK. So yeah, it's good fun, and it involves a bit of negotiating,
0:05:23 > 0:05:25so hopefully that will come in handy today.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Now, tell me, what are your tactics?
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- Do you have a game plan?- Sort of.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32I like sport, so anything sporting, really.
0:05:32 > 0:05:37And you like animals, horses, so maybe that will take your interest.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Right, you have a £7 budget on your date night, but here on Bargain Hunt,
0:05:41 > 0:05:43we give you each £300.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45So £300 for you, Reds.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46£300 for Blues.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49You have very eager experts waiting for you.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51So off you go, and best of luck.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54And there are only 60 minutes on the clock, so I guess it's a speed date.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Giving our teams that much-needed guidance...
0:06:02 > 0:06:04He'll be feeling the heat today with the Reds.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08And hoping to spot something out of this world for the Blues...
0:06:11 > 0:06:12Are you two ready for this?
0:06:12 > 0:06:14- Absolutely.- Yeah.- What are we looking for today?
0:06:14 > 0:06:18I quite like quirky things, so that's what I'll be looking for.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Clare, what are you going to buy?
0:06:20 > 0:06:21Whatever takes my fancy.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Any kind of sporting memorabilia, something like that.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- What about you, Sheena?- I like things that are made of wood.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29OK, teams. You're under starter's orders.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30Your time starts now.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32HORSE NEIGHS
0:06:32 > 0:06:33Let's go buy something.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37- Okey doke.- I think I know a place where to start, so just come with me.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38- OK.- Good luck, teams.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- Oh, wow.- Let's get stuck in, shall we?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43What are those? Them, there.
0:06:43 > 0:06:49They're saddle racks. Imagine, it's 1895, 1900, you've got your stables,
0:06:49 > 0:06:51and those would have been bolted to the wall.
0:06:51 > 0:06:52And you put your saddle on there.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54They are beautiful. It's the quality.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- Yeah, they're really lovely.- You can see the quality.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00They may not be that commercial for today's transportation needs, hey,
0:07:00 > 0:07:03ladies? And now for a different kind of horsepower.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Do you think there's any profit in some of these?
0:07:05 > 0:07:07For example, that's only £3.50.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09These are reproductions.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12So these have been made based on earlier models.
0:07:12 > 0:07:19These have been made for the "collectors market" in the '70s, '80s and '90s.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21And they were mass produced.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23People bought them with investment in mind,
0:07:23 > 0:07:26they kept the original packaging, and thought, one day,
0:07:26 > 0:07:27these will be worth a fortune.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31- Right.- And £3.50 for many of them is the right price.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33It's our first minute here in the arcade.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37It's a good spot, but I think we'll move on.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38I'll take your advice.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Thank you very much. OK.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42- Thank you.- Let's keep going.- Thanks, Richard.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46A top tip there. Meanwhile the Reds are on a reclamation rummage.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Those chimneys are lovely.
0:07:48 > 0:07:49Those are called Long Toms.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50All of these other chimneys,
0:07:50 > 0:07:52they're domestic chimney pots,
0:07:52 > 0:07:54but the Long Toms were a lot more industrial.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- Interesting.- Let's go and look in here, shall we?
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- Yeah.- From chimney pots to porcelain pots.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- Back to the Blues.- It just looks an interesting cabinet here.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07It almost looks as if it's been a little bit neglected.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09- Tired.- Yeah,
0:08:09 > 0:08:12a little bit tired. Are there things here that have been sitting here,
0:08:12 > 0:08:15sleeping for hundreds of years?
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- I like the rabbit.- That one in the middle?
0:08:17 > 0:08:19- In the middle.- He's quite quirky, isn't he?
0:08:19 > 0:08:20- He is quite quirky.- What is it?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22- A biscuit tin?- It's actually a tureen.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Probably more for soup or for vegetables.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Right. I'd put biscuits in it.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- Would you?- Yeah.- But I can also see the price from here.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34So we have £300 to spend.
0:08:34 > 0:08:39I don't want to go and spend £185 of it immediately.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41That's a lot of money for a bunny, guys.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43You did want quirky though.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45And speaking of quirky.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46Is that an actual grave stone?
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Well, no, it's not. I think it's a way marker.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50That says
0:08:51 > 0:08:54something, something, something, something.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56It's quite hard to make out the writing,
0:08:56 > 0:08:58but this particular stone refers to
0:08:58 > 0:09:00the parish of Baulking in Oxfordshire.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03A lot of these are boundary markers.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05So instead of a hedge or a fence
0:09:05 > 0:09:07you'd have a stone set into the side of
0:09:07 > 0:09:09the field and it would be your boundary marker.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11- That's interesting.- Do you like it?
0:09:11 > 0:09:12- I quite like it.- I love it.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Stuart. How are you?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Philip, I'm well, thank you, sir.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Stuart, is that 1840s or later or earlier?
0:09:18 > 0:09:20- They're difficult to age, aren't they?- They are very difficult,
0:09:20 > 0:09:23unless it's dated and I don't think you'll find there's a date on there.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26I would have said it's mid-19th century. So 1840's not far away.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28I think it's priced at £120.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30- £120.- I'd want that for £60.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33I'd want it for £40.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35So £60 and £40, that's £100, OK.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Let me hold Stuart before he falls over. Right, you got those heart pills on you?
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- I have. Why would I take those then? - What's your very best?- £90.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44It's a lot of money for auction.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Let's have a look round and we can think
0:09:46 > 0:09:48about it. He'll keep it for us and see what we can do.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- OK.- Good idea.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54I think Phil may have taken a shine to that boundary marker.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Anyway, it seems the blues are still on the hunt for that unusual piece.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- What do you think of this, Richard? - Oh, look at this here!
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Seems to be some sort of jug.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Don't get technical!
0:10:05 > 0:10:06And it's sport-related, Sean.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Well, of course it's a wrong shaped ball for you really, isn't it?
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- Really.- He is a goalkeeper,
0:10:12 > 0:10:17wearing those roll neck sweaters that they used to in the 1940s and '50s.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19There's a maker's mark there.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20HJ Wood.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23They're actually quite well known Staffordshire potters.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- OK.- And he appears to be in pretty good condition.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- Now priced £7.50.- It's quite a cheap price.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31It is a cheap price. Does cheap appeal to you?
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- It does.- So, shall we at least find out what...
0:10:34 > 0:10:38- I think we should.- What discount we can get on £7.50.?- See what we can do.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Luckily Rita the from the antique's centre is on hand.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Sean and Cat, meet Rita.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Hi. Nice to meet you. Cat.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- Nice to meet you.- Spotted your interesting little jug on the side there.
0:10:47 > 0:10:54Well this is £7.50. Since you're special visitors, you can have it for £7.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Well, you're not the last of the big spenders, team.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58But at least it fits your brief.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00I quite like it. I think it's a bit of fun, so yeah,
0:11:00 > 0:11:02let's take it for £7.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04- Wonderful.- Thank you very much.
0:11:04 > 0:11:05As easy as that, Blues.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09One item ticked off in ten minutes and cheap, too.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Meanwhile, the Reds are checking out something that would literally cost
0:11:14 > 0:11:16you an arm and a leg.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17That's a man trap, isn't it?
0:11:17 > 0:11:18It is a man trap, yes.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Which is highly illegal. So that would have been in the woods to trap a poacher,
0:11:21 > 0:11:25- would it?- Unfortunately, yes, poachers.- And that would have had your leg off.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28I'm not sure there's not much call for a man trap these days, ladies.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31And remember, you were looking for wood items.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33I love the shoetrees there.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35£156.
0:11:35 > 0:11:36Have to be expensive boots.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40- Let's go and have another look in the other building, shall we?- Yes, please.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44Good idea. Whilst you hot-foot it next door Cat has spotted some pottery
0:11:44 > 0:11:46of the feline variety.
0:11:46 > 0:11:47I really like that.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49I would have that in my house.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53These are pottery figures by a contemporary potter.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Her name is Anita Harris.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59Anita Harris is a former head designer with the famous Poole pottery
0:11:59 > 0:12:03company. Now the Stoke-on-Trent artist is exhibiting her own work at
0:12:03 > 0:12:05London's Victoria and Albert museum.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08I really like the leopard.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12I can see the price of £89.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13Shall we have a look at it, anyway.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15It costs nothing to look.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19- Yes, definitely.- Rita, hello again. - Hello!
0:12:19 > 0:12:23Rita, we've been admiring the Anita Harris signed leopard.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Would you know what sort of discount we might be able to achieve?
0:12:28 > 0:12:32I'm sure you'd get that for £70.
0:12:32 > 0:12:33That's a good discount.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36They'd first of all like to have a look at it in the flesh, if that's OK with you.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38- Of course.- Marvellous!
0:12:38 > 0:12:40To me, from here, it looks in great condition.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43You've got Anita Harris's signature here.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45That is very, very important.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46It's confirming it's hand painted.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49We know that's there indeed... another mark here.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52So really well marked, which I always like to see.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56Do you know what, at first, I wasn't so sure, but I do really like it.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58We haven't got to decide now.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59We can park this one in our mind.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03- We may well be back to see you later.- Lovely.- Thank you for your time.- Thank you.
0:13:03 > 0:13:04Thank you very much.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05Onwards and upwards.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09It's always good to have something in the shopping bag.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Keep that one on the back burner then, Blues.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13You still have 40 minutes left of your shop.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16I love that. I love that.
0:13:16 > 0:13:17I love that.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Oh, look out, Phil's getting excited.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21What have you found?
0:13:23 > 0:13:27That is quite cool. That is actually quite cool. The only thing is, who would that appeal to?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29- Me.- Me.- And me.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30Are these things tuning bells?
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Actually they're dinner gongs, dinner chimes.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Dinner chimes. They would date to what?
0:13:35 > 0:13:37About...
0:13:37 > 0:13:40- 1900.- 1900. It might have a registered number on it.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43So this would have sat in the hall of a fairly grand country house,
0:13:43 > 0:13:45- wouldn't it?- Or the dining room, actually.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47- What's the ticket price?- £120.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Do you like those dinner gongs, ladies?
0:13:49 > 0:13:53I do like them. What do you think, Clare? I think they're just really different.
0:13:53 > 0:13:54I like them. They're a lot of money.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56I'm not sure that's a yes, really.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00Me neither, Phil. Come on ladies, you need to bag that first buy.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Now, just something catches my eye here.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05I can see three shiny objects.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07The price is very attractive to me.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10So it tells me they can't be very old.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12- No.- And they're purely decorative.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16But there are three of them there and they're each priced the same figure.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18£3.50 each.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20- Wow!- Can't go wrong with £3.50.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22So I'm thinking I'd make them a mixed lot,
0:14:22 > 0:14:25so the auctioneer can go give me £10 to start. £10, £12, £15.
0:14:25 > 0:14:31Maybe £18. So, I would like to think that there's a group lot there. That
0:14:31 > 0:14:33there's a profit in that and that's all I'm looking at.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Let's put them on the list.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37- Yeah.- I know you're gagging to move on.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39So lead on.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41- OK.- Oh, well, you tried your best, Richard.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Right, Phil, I think it's time you Reds had a regroup.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46- OK.- Bit of fresh air.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50Now then, I reckon we've had 23 minutes, so this is decision time.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Stuart's told us his best for that lump of stone out there is £90.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55- What do you reckon?- I like it.
0:14:55 > 0:14:56Yes, definitely.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58- Shake his hand quick.- Well done.
0:14:58 > 0:14:59- Thank you.- Thank you, Stuart.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01You're a star. We've bought one thing, 23 minutes.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03We better go and find something else, hadn't we?
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- Okey doke.- Yet another Serrell classic.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08You are now the proud owners of a lump of stone, Reds.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12All we need to do is get it to the auction.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Time to leave the team shopping and for me to tell you about a local
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Hungerford man kept busy bottling the fizzy.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27After a long day of Bargain Hunting,
0:15:27 > 0:15:32there's nothing more refreshing than a nice carbonated soft drink,
0:15:32 > 0:15:34so I have just the thing.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38Here I have two glass Codd bottles.
0:15:38 > 0:15:39So, what's a Codd bottle?
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Well, where does that name come first of all?
0:15:41 > 0:15:47This was a patent, put forward in 1872 by an Englishman called
0:15:47 > 0:15:48Hiram Codd.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50It's unique in the fact that it
0:15:50 > 0:15:53creates the perfect seal to keep your
0:15:53 > 0:15:57fizzy drink fizzy and it's unique in its design.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Inside there is a glass marble.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Now why on earth is that there?
0:16:02 > 0:16:08Well, these bottles were filled with their fizzy contents upside down.
0:16:08 > 0:16:13The gas created pressure that forced the marble to the top.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17Now on the bottom of this bottle here you can see a little rubber washer
0:16:17 > 0:16:21at the bottom, a little gasket. And that would actually originally have sat
0:16:21 > 0:16:25at the top here. So, the bottle marble is
0:16:26 > 0:16:28pushed to the top by the gas,
0:16:28 > 0:16:33hits the seal and is kept in place by the gas.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35So there's no need for a top.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39All you have is the glass dome sticking out the top here.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41So how on earth does a marble get in there?
0:16:41 > 0:16:47Well, this section here is moulded glass and then this section here,
0:16:47 > 0:16:49the top of the bottle, is added afterwards.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51So marble goes in,
0:16:51 > 0:16:54top goes on and that marble is not going anywhere.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58But the other question might be, how on earth do you open the seal?
0:16:58 > 0:17:04Well, this little handy contraption will be exactly what you need.
0:17:04 > 0:17:09You can see that on the inside there's that little point that breaks the
0:17:09 > 0:17:11seal. So you push it down.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15The glass marble is forced down into its little chamber and gas is
0:17:15 > 0:17:19released. So you've now got a glass marble lolling around inside this
0:17:19 > 0:17:22bottle. How are you going to pour the liquid out?
0:17:22 > 0:17:26This is where Codd's genius really starts to show itself,
0:17:26 > 0:17:31because this little pinch in the mould is what does that job so
0:17:31 > 0:17:34beautifully. You tilt the bottle,
0:17:34 > 0:17:39the glass marble is pushed into that reservoir but it can't go past it and
0:17:39 > 0:17:44so, freely can you pour your nice fizzy drink.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46It's really quite clever, is it not?
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Now, the thing is,
0:17:48 > 0:17:52is that this patent was so popular it took off worldwide from 1872
0:17:52 > 0:17:55onwards. So there's no rarity here.
0:17:55 > 0:18:01What's interesting is the label that has been moulded into this glass.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Champ and Son, Hungerford.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06In fact, next door to this very building,
0:18:06 > 0:18:14number 99 to 102 High Street was occupied between 1896 and 1914 by the
0:18:14 > 0:18:18Champ Mineral Water Works and they were making all sorts of fizzy drinks -
0:18:18 > 0:18:23ginger beer, lemonade, carbonated water, you name it, they made it.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Now, when it comes to price, what would this fetch?
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Well, in a shop maybe £5.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32At auction you'd really have to have a collection of them to gather any
0:18:32 > 0:18:34interest whatsoever.
0:18:34 > 0:18:39But if you see one and it's not this colour, but it's cobalt blue,
0:18:39 > 0:18:44it's red, it's dark racing green, then believe me,
0:18:44 > 0:18:48you want to look at it a little bit more closely because it's early,
0:18:48 > 0:18:53it's rare and it's probably worth several hundred pounds.
0:18:53 > 0:18:54So, here's my tip for you -
0:18:54 > 0:18:58if you see one of these and it's nice bright in its colour,
0:18:58 > 0:19:01don't bottle it, just buy it.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14With both teams level pegging at one item a piece they are now at the
0:19:14 > 0:19:15halfway mark of their shop.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Time for some bling for the Blues.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19What about silverware?
0:19:19 > 0:19:23Well, silver, of course, is always a good market.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25There's always a demand for silver,
0:19:25 > 0:19:28first and foremost based on its bullion value.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31It is worth X pounds an ounce on a given day,
0:19:31 > 0:19:35so you've got that to underpin it and then you can have a look at the smaller
0:19:35 > 0:19:41collector's items, be it vesta cases or small spoons.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44You've got to brace yourself, if you're buying some silver,
0:19:44 > 0:19:46you've got to be prepared to pay the money.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50- Yeah.- I think you may have just scared them off, Richard.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54OK, teams, you are 35 minutes into your shop and you both need to find two items.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56That clock's ticking.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Phil, how are you getting on?
0:19:58 > 0:20:00I think they've done really well.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02You know, that stone, I'm pleased with it and I think it'll do well at
0:20:02 > 0:20:07auction. The danger of shopping in a place like this is there's so much
0:20:07 > 0:20:10stuff to see, sometimes you're better off going into a small shop where
0:20:10 > 0:20:13there's just one or two things, cos there's not so much choice.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16But this is just fantastic, there's really good things everywhere.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19And I think they've done well, but we've just got to really focus that
0:20:19 > 0:20:21last half hour, otherwise we are in trouble.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Hmm, you're right, Phil.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Meanwhile, there's a definite animal theme to the Blues' shop.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28There's a big bronze horse down here.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29Oh, a big bronze horse.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30It's quite expensive.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- Is it?- How much?- Don't worry, we don't mind about it being expensive.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35- Are you a rider?- Yes.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- You are a rider.- Yeah.- How very appropriate that you should be drawn to a
0:20:38 > 0:20:40bronze horse.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43- Is that a stallion?- Oh, you'd have to turn it upside-down.
0:20:43 > 0:20:44- Oh, of course. Yes, indeed.- Oh, steady on.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47We don't want to get technical, do we, indeed.
0:20:47 > 0:20:48Well, I can see the price.
0:20:48 > 0:20:55- Yes.- If that was an original 19th-century French animalier bronze...
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- Yeah.- ..then it would probably have a nought on that price.
0:20:58 > 0:21:03- Right.- Right.- It's priced at £185, so it's telling me it is a reproduction.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07I think that's a polite way of Richard saying, "Time to move on, team."
0:21:07 > 0:21:11Meanwhile, the Reds are also under pressure to buy two more items.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Not only have they decided to change shops,
0:21:13 > 0:21:16it also looks like they're changing their buying strategy.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Are those scent bottles yours there?
0:21:18 > 0:21:22- They're lovely.- Could we have a look at them, please?
0:21:22 > 0:21:23Do you like them?
0:21:23 > 0:21:25- I do.- Yeah.- I think bottles are more my thing than yours, aren't they?
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- Yeah, they are.- I'm happy to go along with them.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29So this is called hunt the hallmark.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31- There it is, just there.- Oh, yeah.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- Oh, yes.- So you've got the lion passant,
0:21:33 > 0:21:36you've got the Chester hallmark and then you've got the date code,
0:21:36 > 0:21:39and that's lovely cos someone's looked that up for us.
0:21:39 > 0:21:40Chester 1907.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42It's 150 for two it says.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44I'd like them for 50, I think.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46- What do you think?- I wanted them for 40.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Wow, that's two thirds off the ticket price.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49I can do 50.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55- Yeah. Absolutely. - I think we'll go for that.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57- Pleasure.- Thank you very much.- Well done.- Thank you.- They are...
0:21:57 > 0:21:59- Cheers, thank you, thank you.- Thank you.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02A little nudge from your expert and the deal is sealed, £100 off the
0:22:02 > 0:22:07ticket price. Number two for you, Reds, which means Blues are now playing
0:22:07 > 0:22:12catch up with only one item bought. Eight minutes left, teams. Cat, what
0:22:12 > 0:22:16- are your thoughts?- What's the sort of vintage toy market like at the moment?
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Well, it's fine. A pond yacht will always sell well.
0:22:19 > 0:22:20The blue one's nice.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23What do they do? Does it work like a real sailboat?
0:22:23 > 0:22:27- The wind hits the sail, it moves around.- Yeah, absolutely. Indeed. Shall we have a look at it?
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- Yeah, go on, we might as well.- Come on, let's go.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32It's Rita we need, isn't it? Where is Rita?
0:22:32 > 0:22:33Here she is, keeper of the keys!
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- Keeper of the keys.- Now, what we're interested in, Rita,
0:22:36 > 0:22:38is the little model of the boat.
0:22:38 > 0:22:44Now, this is a 1950s or '60s by the look of it.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46It looks quite fun, doesn't it?
0:22:46 > 0:22:47- Quite fun.- Yes.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Now, it's got a maker's mark on it, has it not?
0:22:50 > 0:22:51- Oh, right, OK.- Yes.- Star Yacht.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52Star Yacht, OK.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Guaranteed to sail.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Guaranteed to sell or guaranteed to sail?
0:22:56 > 0:22:58- Hopefully both.- Yeah, indeed.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00- It's a reasonable price.- Now, it's priced at...
0:23:00 > 0:23:02£18.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05I think Rita is the person who's going to help us hugely now to decide.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09- Come on, Rita.- I could do it for 15.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10£15.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14With your permission, Cat, I think that we should maybe go for this one.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- OK.- And then we can leave the last item up to you.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19- OK.- How very diplomatic.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22- What a gentleman.- He's learned, very slowly.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Well trained, indeed.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- Beaten into submission.- In that case, Rita, at £15,
0:23:27 > 0:23:29we'd love to buy your pond yacht.
0:23:29 > 0:23:30Wonderful.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32It's a change of tact, Blues.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Not really quirky or animal themed.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36But if the wind blows in the right direction,
0:23:36 > 0:23:38it could be child's play at the auction.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Speaking of which...
0:23:40 > 0:23:42- Do you like this desk?- I do like it, actually.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44How much is it? It's 45.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Oh, it's Triang.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Phil, what do you think of that wee desk?
0:23:50 > 0:23:52- Truthfully?- Yeah.- Not much.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Never one to sit on the fence, eh, Phil?
0:23:54 > 0:23:56It's lovely.
0:23:56 > 0:23:57- Look what it says...- Phil was here.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00"I like you, Mum."
0:24:00 > 0:24:02- Aww. We like that.- I really think that's lovely.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04How do we know that it's Triang?
0:24:04 > 0:24:07There's a little sign here, but it's rubbed off, if you look there.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Oh, there, there, there. Yeah.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12The name Triang originated from the three brothers who owned the company.
0:24:12 > 0:24:17Their surname was Lines, hence the name Triang, from the shape triangle.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- I mean, people do buy things like that.- Yeah, they do.- It's retro.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24- It's the kind of thing we would have bought for our kids.- It's probably 1960s, isn't it?
0:24:24 > 0:24:27- Yeah, that's what we said. We're '60s girls, kids.- I'd have bought that for my son.- Really?
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- Yeah.- But we'd need to get the price down.- Dave?- Dave...
0:24:30 > 0:24:32- We need you.- Sorry.- I've got tell you, if you buy that,
0:24:32 > 0:24:36I'm going to get a felt tip and I'm going to write "Phil Serrell was ere"
0:24:36 > 0:24:37- underneath that.- We want to sell it.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41- Good one, Sheena.- Best price?
0:24:41 > 0:24:43I don't want to put any words into your mind here.
0:24:43 > 0:24:4620 quid, that's what I want you to think.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48- Sold.- Oh, well done!
0:24:48 > 0:24:49- How much?- 20.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52- Yes!- We like that.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54I think you've done really, really well.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56- Ka-ching.- Yeah, I'm feeling good about it.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01Well done, Reds, that's all three of your items in the bag,
0:25:01 > 0:25:03and you've finally bought some wood, Sheena.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Right, Blues, I make that two minutes left on the clock.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08We need a decision.
0:25:08 > 0:25:09Which is our third and final lot?
0:25:09 > 0:25:13- We'll have the leopard.- You better go and make sure it's still there.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15- Yes.- And go and make our third and final purchase, yeah?
0:25:15 > 0:25:17- Yes.- Brilliant.- Come on then.- Let's go.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19- Thank you.- And you'd better get a move on.
0:25:19 > 0:25:20- Is it still there?- Yeah.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Is it in the cabinet? Is it on the same shelf?
0:25:22 > 0:25:24- There it is.- It is, indeed.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26- Right.- Yes.- Well, we better call over Rita.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29- Yeah.- Rita, will you come and join us?
0:25:29 > 0:25:33Now, he's still there, he's still the same price, he's still £70.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35- He is.- Shall we go for it?
0:25:35 > 0:25:36Yeah, we'll take the cat.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37Rita, we'll take the cat.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Sold.
0:25:39 > 0:25:40Seems rather appropriate,
0:25:40 > 0:25:42one cat for Cat.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44A purr-fect deal.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Stop right there, teams.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Your 60 minutes are up.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50- Thanks very much.- Good effort.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57First up was the stone boundary marker, price paid £90.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Next, the two scent bottles set them back £50.
0:26:03 > 0:26:08And finally, the child's desk and chair cost them £20.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Clare, Sheena, I am anything but stressed.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12That was so laidback.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14- Did you enjoy that?- We did. - Yeah, we had a ball.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17- Yeah.- So tell me, you bought three interesting items.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21Mm-hm. But, Clare, of the lot, which is your favourite?
0:26:21 > 0:26:23- The desk.- And do you think the desk will make a profit?
0:26:23 > 0:26:25It might make a smidgen, not a lot.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28OK, so what do you think will make the biggest profit?
0:26:28 > 0:26:31I think possibly the perfume bottles might make the biggest profit.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Right, OK. Turn of the century silver...
0:26:33 > 0:26:35- Yeah, they're lovely.- OK, lovely.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Now, Sheena, which do you like the best?
0:26:37 > 0:26:40I have to say, I probably like the mile stone.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43I just like the fact that you don't really see them very often.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45But it did cost you £90, so do you think it's going to make the most money?
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Yeah, I think it could possibly.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50I think someone might just have a look at it and can imagine it in their
0:26:50 > 0:26:51garden or somewhere. So yeah.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53So you only spent 160.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Who's got 140? I have.
0:26:55 > 0:26:56OK, I'll take it from you, Sheena.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58- There we go.- Thank you very much.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Philip, £140, come on, are you going to spend the lot?
0:27:01 > 0:27:04I might not do that, but the girls said they'd like things for the garden,
0:27:04 > 0:27:07so I'm going to go and find a really big old lump of concrete.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09So while Phil goes and has a root around,
0:27:09 > 0:27:12let's remind ourselves what the Blue team bought.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16Their first buy was a character jug, which cost them £7.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Next, the Star Company pond yacht sailed away for £15.
0:27:22 > 0:27:27And finally, the Anita Harris pottery leopard set them back £70.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Well, Cat, Sean, that was fun, wasn't it?
0:27:29 > 0:27:32- Really good fun.- It was, it was a good laugh, I enjoyed myself.
0:27:32 > 0:27:33Three interesting items.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36- Yeah.- Cat, which do you like the most?
0:27:36 > 0:27:38I, without a doubt, like the leopard the most.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40That is my favourite item.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Is it going to bring you the biggest profit?
0:27:42 > 0:27:44- No.- So tell me, what is then?
0:27:44 > 0:27:47I think it's going to be the little toy sailing boat,
0:27:47 > 0:27:49is going to bring in the biggest profit.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51What about you, Sean? Are you in total agreement?
0:27:51 > 0:27:53I do think that is going to bring us the most profit as well,
0:27:53 > 0:27:56the sailing boat, just because of the price we paid for it.
0:27:56 > 0:27:57Now you only spent £92.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00- Yeah.- So 208, who's got the balance?
0:28:00 > 0:28:03- I've got it.- Cat, I'll take it from you.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07Right. £208, that's quite a big budget, Richard.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Do you have anything in mind?
0:28:09 > 0:28:12I've got something in mind which will please one of them.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14- Hmm.- And that's as much as I'm telling you.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16While you're off looking for your bonus buy,
0:28:16 > 0:28:18it's time for us to head to the auction.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30We've come north a little and now we're at Bigwood Auctioneers near
0:28:30 > 0:28:31Stratford-upon-Avon.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33I'm joined by Mark Ashley.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Thank you for having us today.
0:28:35 > 0:28:36It's a pleasure to have you with us.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Oh, I'm really thrilled. Let's get stuck in, shall we?
0:28:39 > 0:28:41We'll start with the Reds, as per always.
0:28:41 > 0:28:46Sheena and Clare, who both, by the by, absolutely love the first item,
0:28:46 > 0:28:48this parish boundary marker.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52- What do you make of it?- Well, the inscription is quite worn,
0:28:52 > 0:28:54but you can make out "parish."
0:28:54 > 0:28:58It's got a parish named on it that was changed in the '70s from Berkshire
0:28:58 > 0:28:59- to Oxfordshire.- Right, OK.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01So this is the parish of Baulking...
0:29:01 > 0:29:03- Yeah.- Previously of Berkshire...
0:29:03 > 0:29:05- Now in Oxfordshire.- Now of Oxfordshire.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08So tell me, near Stratford-upon-Avon, what's it going to make?
0:29:08 > 0:29:10100, 150.
0:29:10 > 0:29:14Fantastic. Well, the team only paid £90 for it, and like I said,
0:29:14 > 0:29:16not only is it their favourite,
0:29:16 > 0:29:19they both think it's going to bring the biggest profit.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22So if it makes the top end of your estimate, it could well just do that.
0:29:22 > 0:29:26So we'll move on to a slightly more precious pair, shall we?
0:29:26 > 0:29:30We've got these silver mounted scent bottles, they're absolutely gorgeous.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33The Reds chose them together, they're a great pair of friends,
0:29:33 > 0:29:35and surely you're drawn to these?
0:29:35 > 0:29:37I think they're a super item.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40It's lovely having the hallmark silver.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45To get two, to actually get a pair, lovely dressing table appointment,
0:29:45 > 0:29:47great thing to have.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49We're only thinking 50 to 70 though.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51That's all right. The team only paid £50 for them.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53- Yeah.- So they'll be chuffed.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Again, onto something completely different,
0:29:55 > 0:29:58but this was Clare's favourite.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Real nostalgia attached to this one.
0:30:00 > 0:30:05We've got the Triang desk and matching chair, complete with graffiti.
0:30:05 > 0:30:06Is that going to do any damage to the price?
0:30:06 > 0:30:09I think it has, only 20 to 30, though.
0:30:09 > 0:30:14Once again, I think the team have done really well because they only paid £20 for the set.
0:30:14 > 0:30:15So it doesn't look too grave, does it?
0:30:15 > 0:30:17No, I think they'll do all right.
0:30:17 > 0:30:18But just in case they need our bonus buy,
0:30:18 > 0:30:21let's see what Phil bought for the Reds.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Well, Clare, Sheena, you did a dangerous thing.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27You left Philip Serrell with £140.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29Are you just thinking, "Why did we do that?"
0:30:29 > 0:30:33- at this point?- Absolutely.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35I did say I was going to get you a lump of concrete, didn't I?
0:30:35 > 0:30:38- You did.- And I got you a lump of concrete.
0:30:40 > 0:30:41You did.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44- Ah, boot scraper.- Boot scraper.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46- Yeah, great.- I quite like it, actually.
0:30:46 > 0:30:47- You do? There you are!- I do.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49- Home and hosed.- Yeah.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Clare, you say you like it, what is it that you like about it?
0:30:51 > 0:30:55- It's not very artistic, is it?- Well, yeah, it's solid.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58I imagine it's functional.
0:30:58 > 0:30:59How much was it, first of all?
0:30:59 > 0:31:02It cost me £15, and I think if you have a bad day,
0:31:02 > 0:31:05it'll make you a tenner profit, and if you have a good day,
0:31:05 > 0:31:08it could make you £30 profit.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10- That's good then.- Yeah, yeah.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12- That's great, thank you.- Well, no pressure on you, Phil, just yet,
0:31:12 > 0:31:14cos you don't need to make up your minds just now.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17It's time now to find out what Mark, our auctioneer,
0:31:17 > 0:31:18thinks of this lump of concrete.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24So, here we have Phil's bonus buy, the boot scraper.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26It lacks a little bit of finesse, doesn't it, Mark?
0:31:26 > 0:31:29But I quite like that simplicity, that sort of blacksmith made,
0:31:29 > 0:31:33just the piece of iron bent over and a lump of concrete.
0:31:33 > 0:31:34Typical Phil Serrell, isn't it, really?
0:31:34 > 0:31:3630 to 50, that's what we think.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38Well, that's another bit of good news because
0:31:38 > 0:31:42he actually only paid £15 for it. Right, moving onto the Blues now.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45Cat and Sean as lead by Richard Madley.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Our first item is this character jug, the goalkeeper.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50He looks to me as though he could be quite a collectable thing.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53Well, they are, they did a series of them in the '60s.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55I think there was the wicket keeper and all that.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57- Yeah.- Let's go straight to the price.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59Collectable, but valuable?
0:31:59 > 0:32:01Ten to 20. That's about what I thought.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Perfect, worry not, the team only paid seven.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05Single figure for that.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07£7, so they could be onto a profit.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09And then they move on to this pond yacht.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13I think this is so sweet.
0:32:13 > 0:32:14Tell me, do you love it?
0:32:14 > 0:32:17I do. I think the condition's fantastic.
0:32:17 > 0:32:18It's a great thing.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21The label is still very good on the deck,
0:32:21 > 0:32:25very interesting little maker from Birkenhead area, I think it was.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28OK. The firm started in about the turn of the First World War.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Lovely thing, good condition.
0:32:30 > 0:32:3215 to 25.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36OK. Well, the team paid the lower end of your estimate, £15.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38So, again, they could be onto a wee bit of profit.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40It's a nice buy, it's a nice buy.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42But here's the item that they both absolutely love,
0:32:42 > 0:32:47both Cat and Sean think this was the cream of the crop on their shop.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50Anita Harris is a name we know well on Bargain Hunt,
0:32:50 > 0:32:52and here we have this reclining leopard.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56So, question is, is Anita Harris a name that's known well in these parts?
0:32:56 > 0:33:00Is known, absolutely, well recorded, and I love the glaze.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02I think this is hot coals.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04It's a fabulous looking thing.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08In good condition, good piece, we have only put 40 to 60.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Well, the team actually paid £70.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12They were so taken by the leopard.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14So this could be their downfall.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16In that case, it's all down to Richard.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20So let's find out what he bought the Blues as a bonus buy.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24Right, Cat, Sean, this is it, Richard standing here with something,
0:33:24 > 0:33:27we don't know what, you left him £208.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29OK, Richard, take it away, surprise us.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32You both love rugby, you like watching Gloucester Rugby Club.
0:33:32 > 0:33:37How about something to warm you up in the shed on a wet winter's afternoon
0:33:37 > 0:33:39at King's Home? I've got you...
0:33:40 > 0:33:44- Oh!- ..your very own Victorian hip flask.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47- Right.- Silver plated mounts, engraved decoration,
0:33:47 > 0:33:51and I just thought it'd be something that you'd both like to take to a
0:33:51 > 0:33:52- rugby match.- Definitely.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54So how much did you spend on it?
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Just £20.
0:33:56 > 0:33:57- OK.- That's pretty reasonable.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59Can I take a look?
0:33:59 > 0:34:02You certainly can. The case actually slips out.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06You could actually fill the case and take a little sip.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08So, Cat, tell me, what do you think about it?
0:34:08 > 0:34:11I think it's really snazzy and just nice.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13I could see myself using it, I know you'd use it as well.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16You don't need to make your minds up just yet.
0:34:16 > 0:34:21Let's find out if Mark thinks this is an excellent hip flask.
0:34:21 > 0:34:22Right, so here it is, Richard's buy.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25We've got probably Victorian hip flask.
0:34:25 > 0:34:26Yeah. Does that float your boat?
0:34:26 > 0:34:28I think it's a great thing.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30At least the glass is in good condition.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33And the removable cup from the bottom, that's a nice touch.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37Take that away, still got the gilding on the inside, it's a good thing.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40I think we're only sort of thinking £20 to £30 though.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43OK, well, I'm sure that Richard will have thought along the same lines and
0:34:43 > 0:34:47he's only paid £20 for it, so he'll be happy to hear it.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49So, Mark, are you expecting a busy sale today?
0:34:49 > 0:34:52We will have a busy day today, but it'll be a good day.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54All right. Well, in the case, we're in your hands now.
0:34:54 > 0:34:55No pressure.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59580, 600 now.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01All finished, 600.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03How are you feeling, auction time?
0:35:03 > 0:35:05- Yep.- Excited.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Have you been to auction before?
0:35:07 > 0:35:08I have, yeah, but this is different.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11Your first item is, of course, that boundary marker.
0:35:11 > 0:35:12You paid £90 for it.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16- Are you ready to watch it go under the hammer?- Yeah, we are. - Absolutely.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19OK, ladies, if you're ready, red team, here comes your first lot. OK.
0:35:19 > 0:35:24Lot 125, it's the carved limestone parish boundary marker.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26£100 for it, surely?
0:35:26 > 0:35:27Who's got £100?
0:35:27 > 0:35:28£100, surely.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30£50. 30 then.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32Ladies...
0:35:32 > 0:35:3430. Five, sir, thank you.
0:35:34 > 0:35:3640, madam.
0:35:36 > 0:35:3945, 50, five.
0:35:39 > 0:35:43No? £50 and I'm going to sell it, are you all done?
0:35:43 > 0:35:4650. OK. Ladies, not the strongest start.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48- No.- We are minus 40.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50However, are you ready for this?
0:35:50 > 0:35:52You paid £50 for the scent bottles, here they come.
0:35:52 > 0:35:58On we go now to lot 127, this is the grenade form scent bottles.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01Very pretty these, with the silver collars.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04The internet's come straight in at £50.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07I can go 70, would you go 80 with me?
0:36:07 > 0:36:1080 on the net, I can go 85 to cover myself.
0:36:10 > 0:36:11Will you go 90?
0:36:11 > 0:36:13Yes, you will. Thank you.
0:36:13 > 0:36:17Oh, 90. 90 on the net and I'll sell it at 90...
0:36:17 > 0:36:19£90.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21Right, so that's where it lands.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25£90. That made you 40, you're back to zero.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28Here comes the child's desk.
0:36:28 > 0:36:34Lot 129, the mid-20th century Triang stained wood child's desk and chair.
0:36:34 > 0:36:35Lovely little thing, this.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Particularly like the graffiti.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40Interesting piece, it starts straight off at 20.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43Give me two. At £20, at 20 surely?
0:36:43 > 0:36:46Who's got two? 22 on the net.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49- Excellent.- Would you go 30, please, on the net?
0:36:49 > 0:36:50Come on, come on.
0:36:50 > 0:36:56If not, I'm selling it on the book at £25.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59OK. Yes. £25.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03So you've made £5 profit on that lot and actually overall.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07But it leaves us in a funny position because £5 profit is small,
0:37:07 > 0:37:09but could be a winning score. So the question is,
0:37:09 > 0:37:11took you a while to get there.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14Are you going to now risk it and go for the bonus buy?
0:37:14 > 0:37:16- I think so.- I think so. We're with Phil.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18Well, Phil paid £15 for it.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20You thought that was a good price.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22- I did.- Phil certainly thinks it's a good price,
0:37:22 > 0:37:24and our auctioneer thinks it's a great price.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26He reckons it could make 30 to 50.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29So, Phil, it's all on you. We've got £5 profit,
0:37:29 > 0:37:31here's hoping you don't damage it.
0:37:31 > 0:37:37- Here it comes.- Lot 136 is this blacksmith-made boot scraper,
0:37:37 > 0:37:38with the weighted base.
0:37:38 > 0:37:39Tenner to start.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41Thank you, sir. Ten to start.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43The internet's come in at 20.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45Yes, that's good, well done.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47I have 25 in the room.
0:37:47 > 0:37:48Are we going to sell?
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Are we all sure?
0:37:50 > 0:37:55He did promise you a profit and it's just sold for £25.
0:37:55 > 0:37:59£5 has become a £15 overall profit.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02You came, you saw, you bought,
0:38:02 > 0:38:04we don't know if you've conquered just yet,
0:38:04 > 0:38:05but £15 could be a winning score.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07So promise me, you'll say nothing to the Blues?
0:38:07 > 0:38:09- Say nothing.- I trust you.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11- OK. Well done.- Thank you.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18Blue team, how are you feeling?
0:38:18 > 0:38:19This is crunch time, isn't it?
0:38:19 > 0:38:22Excited. I'm really excited.
0:38:22 > 0:38:23Keen to know how we did.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25Right, Blue team, are you ready for this?
0:38:25 > 0:38:28Yes. First item, the goalkeeper, £7 paid, here it comes.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31On we go now to lot 152.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34It's the glazed pottery character jug, the goalkeeper.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36Surely that's a £10 lot.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38Little jug, bit of fun, isn't it?
0:38:38 > 0:38:40Well done, madam. At the back at ten.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43Who's got 15 for the little jug?
0:38:43 > 0:38:46We'll be selling it then with the lady at the back of the room
0:38:46 > 0:38:47for ten.
0:38:47 > 0:38:48All done.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50- Well done, madam.- I'll take that.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52It's something, isn't it?
0:38:52 > 0:38:54- £3.- We're here to make a profit and you did it.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58- That's a profit.- Sold for £10, £3 in front.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00Let's keep the profits going with this yacht.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02You paid £15, here it comes.
0:39:02 > 0:39:03Excellent.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06Lot 154 is the star yacht.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08Very interesting piece.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10Let's get it away. Ten, that would be cheap.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12Well done, thank you, madam.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15Ten is the bid. Who's got 15 for it?
0:39:15 > 0:39:17It's with the lady, front right at ten.
0:39:17 > 0:39:18I will sell it.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20All finished at £10.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22Are you all sure?
0:39:22 > 0:39:24I can't believe it!
0:39:24 > 0:39:25£10, OK.
0:39:25 > 0:39:29Wait a minute, we had a £3 profit, you've just lost five.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32All of a sudden, as quickly as that, you're now minus two.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36So all hopes are pinned on Anita Harris.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Both of you said this was your favourite item.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40- Yeah.- You paid £70 for it.
0:39:40 > 0:39:46- Here comes the leopard.- Lot 156 is the Anita Harris Studio
0:39:46 > 0:39:48pottery leopard.
0:39:48 > 0:39:52The internet's come straight in at 45.
0:39:52 > 0:39:56Who's got 50? Surely £50?
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Otherwise, I'll be selling it.
0:39:58 > 0:39:59Are you all sure?
0:39:59 > 0:40:00It's going then
0:40:00 > 0:40:04on the internet at £45.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07Oh! Just in time, look at that!
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Heart stopper.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12And it's now gone to 60.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15ALL: Oh!
0:40:15 > 0:40:17Is that going to be it?
0:40:17 > 0:40:19Shall I sell it at £60?
0:40:19 > 0:40:2160.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23Well, it could have been worse.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27- It could have been worse.- £60 is a loss of ten.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30We started with a profit and now we're minus 12.
0:40:30 > 0:40:31So what are you going to do?
0:40:31 > 0:40:34Richard went off and bought you this gorgeous Victorian hip flask,
0:40:34 > 0:40:37it's in lovely condition, it's got all its parts.
0:40:37 > 0:40:38I think there's a good chance.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40- What do you think?- OK, yeah, we'll take it.
0:40:40 > 0:40:45Lot 162, Victorian hip flask.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47That's got to be £20 of anybody's money, hasn't it?
0:40:47 > 0:40:49Ten then to start.
0:40:49 > 0:40:50Ten is the lady.
0:40:50 > 0:40:51Well done. Thank you.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54At £10, who's got 15 now?
0:40:54 > 0:40:55Come on. There we are.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57At £10 on the left.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00And I'm selling and it's away.
0:41:00 > 0:41:01What can you do? What can you do?
0:41:01 > 0:41:03None of us has a crystal ball,
0:41:03 > 0:41:06but we did all think that would make a profit, I'm surprised.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08- We did.- But the hammer fell at £10,
0:41:08 > 0:41:12which means you made another loss of ten.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15Overall, Blues, minus 22.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17That's respectable for Bargain Hunt.
0:41:17 > 0:41:18- Is that all right?- I've seen worse!
0:41:20 > 0:41:22I'll stick with your positive attitude.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24Bear in mind, it could be a winning score.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28- Yeah.- So say nothing to the Reds and we'll see how it all pans out,
0:41:28 > 0:41:29- all right?- OK.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37Well, that was interesting, wasn't it?
0:41:37 > 0:41:40Both teams finishing in double figures.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42- OK.- The only problem is,
0:41:42 > 0:41:45one figure has a plus in front of it and the other, a minus,
0:41:45 > 0:41:49making our runners up today the Blues, and our winners the Reds!
0:41:49 > 0:41:53Congratulations! With a small profit of £15,
0:41:53 > 0:41:55but we'll come to that in a minute.
0:41:55 > 0:41:59Blues, minus 22, but you're not feeling too blue about it, are you?
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Not at all, no. We've had a really good time.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Where did you come closest?
0:42:05 > 0:42:07It was the character jug, who'd have thought it?
0:42:07 > 0:42:08Your cheapest item.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12Only made a £3 profit, but actually, it was the highlight of your shop.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15- Yeah!- Anyway, we won't dwell, we were so pleased to have you on the show,
0:42:15 > 0:42:17so thank you for taking part.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19But now it's time to turn to our winners, the Reds,
0:42:19 > 0:42:22with a hefty profit of £15.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24- Thank you.- Oh, I'll take that.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Whatever will you do with the money?
0:42:26 > 0:42:27- Wine.- Yeah.- Oh, wine.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Straight to the wine bar, I think.
0:42:29 > 0:42:30Just one word - wine.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34- Yeah.- I mean, it didn't start off swimmingly, they did lose £40.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37But then they came back and they came back and then the old boot scraper
0:42:37 > 0:42:40himself, Philip Serrell, helped them out with a tenner.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42So, well done, £15.
0:42:42 > 0:42:43- Doesn't that feel good?- It does.
0:42:43 > 0:42:48- It feels excellent.- Can you believe you came on Bargain Hunt and you made a profit?- No!
0:42:48 > 0:42:50Well, let me pinch you, it's real, it's real!
0:42:50 > 0:42:52And you had a great time? We had a lovely time.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55- We had a ball.- Thank you.- Oh, I'm so pleased. If you want to be a
