0:00:06 > 0:00:09Believe me, Bargain Hunters, there is nothing,
0:00:09 > 0:00:14absolutely nothing as delightful as messing about in boats.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18Today, I'm aboard the Richmond Royale on the River Thames,
0:00:18 > 0:00:2112 miles south-west of central London.
0:00:21 > 0:00:25But I can't mess about for too long because today's Reds and Blues
0:00:25 > 0:00:30are eager to go shopping at Kingston's Antiques Centre.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Full steam ahead, Captain!
0:00:32 > 0:00:35All aboard, let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Thank you, lads.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Our teams, as usual, have £300
0:01:01 > 0:01:04to buy three items within an hour, which, hopefully,
0:01:04 > 0:01:08with a bit of luck, will make a profit at today's auction.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Let's have a wee look at what's coming up.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14The Reds have questionable taste.
0:01:14 > 0:01:15Oh, that's horrid.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17- Isn't it?- That's horrid.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19I mean, that's horrid with a capital H.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23The Blues are taken aback.
0:01:23 > 0:01:24THEY GASP
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- No.- I didn't expect it to be that much.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31But will the auction be filled with shocks and surprises for the Reds?
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Oh...
0:01:34 > 0:01:36And the Blues?
0:01:36 > 0:01:37- No!- No!
0:01:40 > 0:01:43And I find out about the history of the changing of the guard.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49But that's all for later.
0:01:49 > 0:01:50Let's meet today's teams.
0:01:50 > 0:01:55For the Reds, we have friends Tom and Ollie, and for the Blues,
0:01:55 > 0:01:59we have a dad and daughter combo, Rob and Claudia.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Welcome, everybody, and hello.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- Hello.- Hiya. - So, how did you two guys meet?
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Well, we're actually both professional rugby players.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Ended up signing for a team called Rotherham Titans,
0:02:10 > 0:02:12and then, as I rocked up, Ollie's there.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Yeah, we both managed to sign for the same club.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- Yeah.- And needed somewhere to live, so got in touch with each other,
0:02:18 > 0:02:20and, yeah, spent the last year living together.
0:02:20 > 0:02:2224/7, we're with each other,
0:02:22 > 0:02:25so we're quite well known for our bromance.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27- Yeah, massively. - So, it's always been about rugby.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Was there any other sport?
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Been taking up a bit of golf lately,
0:02:31 > 0:02:34trying to teach Ollie how to swing a club.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35- Is he any good?- He's awful.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- Is he?- It's a waste of time on my part.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Is there anything you could teach him?
0:02:41 > 0:02:42Doubtful.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47What do you know about antiques and collectables?
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Knowledge is pretty rookie, I'd say.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51But we've got a can-do attitude.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- Yeah.- A massive can-do attitude.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55My gran's been giving me a lot of tips.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- Oh, well, listen to your granny. - Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Well, I have to, otherwise I'd be in a lot of trouble, but...
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Yeah, she's given me a lot of tips, so collectable animals,
0:03:04 > 0:03:06something along those lines.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Right. What are your tactics going to be?
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Looking to spend some money today.
0:03:10 > 0:03:15Right. You don't know very much, but you know that you've got to win.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17- Yeah.- Are you going to take that competitive spirit in?
0:03:17 > 0:03:18Oh, massively, yeah, 100%.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21We've already been psyching out our opponents, so...
0:03:21 > 0:03:22Yeah!
0:03:22 > 0:03:24They know we want to win.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26They might want to win as well.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- Nah, they'll crumble. - They'll crumble.- Oh!
0:03:30 > 0:03:34OK, boys, well, it'll be fun watching what you do,
0:03:34 > 0:03:39but now over to our Blues, daughter and dad, Claudia and Rob.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Rob, is there a reason why you've picked Claudia
0:03:42 > 0:03:44as your team-mate today?
0:03:44 > 0:03:47As Claudia's probably going to tell you,
0:03:47 > 0:03:50I am quite impulsive when it comes to spending money.
0:03:50 > 0:03:51Are you a scatter cash?
0:03:53 > 0:03:54- Yeah.- Yeah, I'll have to rein him in.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Rob, what do you do for a living?
0:03:58 > 0:04:02I'm a stores manager for a compressed air company,
0:04:02 > 0:04:04but I'm also a semi-professional musician.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- Ah!- You could say I'm the original Wedding Singer.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09How wonderful!
0:04:09 > 0:04:13I do predominantly Italian-English weddings.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Right, so your forebears were Italian?
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Yes, both my parents are Italian, yes.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Excellent. Claudia, you're still a wee youngster.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Have you entered the world of work yet?
0:04:25 > 0:04:26I have, only just.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30Just finished my A-levels, but I'm currently working full-time now
0:04:30 > 0:04:32in a garden centre, selling outdoor furniture.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- Right, are you enjoying that? - Yeah, it's rather good.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37I don't think it'll be any furniture that we'll
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- be seeing today. - So what do you know about antiques?
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Bit of an armchair expert, from watching the show, really.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44So we've picked things up over the years.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47So what are your tactics going to be today?
0:04:47 > 0:04:49I reckon to do one buy each...
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- Yeah.- ..and then the last buy, I think, to do a combined one,
0:04:52 > 0:04:55hopefully a little bit more expensive than the smaller ones.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57You're going to go shopping, you need some money.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00£300 to you, my darling,
0:05:00 > 0:05:02and £300 to you.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Your experts await, so off you go.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Fighting talk today!
0:05:07 > 0:05:08I'm going to enjoy this one.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14So who's going to lead our teams to victory today?
0:05:15 > 0:05:19Aiming to unmask some profits for the Reds, it's Catherine Southon.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24And setting sail with the Blues, it's Danny Sebastian.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28OK, guys, what are we looking for today?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- Rob?- I reckon, well, something musical, Danny, I reckon.
0:05:31 > 0:05:32I'm thinking of sticking with my gran,
0:05:32 > 0:05:34some sort of animal collectable.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Small, blingy, possibly some silver.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Maybe something shiny. Just something that grabs my attention.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Teams, your time starts now.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Let's go! Come on.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Let's go see what we can find.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50There should be plenty in here to whet our teams' appetites.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55That's looking antiques-ish.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57- Three wood dolls. - Three wooden dolls.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59They're kind of creeping me out.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00Yeah, they're a little bit creepy.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03I thought you were tough rugby players, boys?!
0:06:03 > 0:06:07Claudia, are you keeping a close eye on your dad?
0:06:07 > 0:06:08Claudia, get the reins on him.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- I know, you all right? - He's starting already.- Come on!
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Everything he sees, he likes. I've gathered that.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Well, he did say he likes to splash the cash.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18It looks like the Reds have expensive tastes, too.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Omega watch.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21That could be...
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- That'll be worth too much. - Remember our funds.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26We have limited... You are guys with big...
0:06:26 > 0:06:29You've got big ideas, which is good, which is good.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32You just need to remember, you only have £300!
0:06:34 > 0:06:36I think I need to get my eyes tuned in, actually, Danny.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- Ey up, the specs are coming out. - The specs are coming out, yep.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43Good idea, Rob. You don't want to miss anything at this stage.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46I wanted a little bit of novelty silver, really.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- You like the old silver, don't you? - I do, I do, I do.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51There's quite a lot of silver here, though, isn't there?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53There is, but it's sort of chains and that.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55I'm looking for sort of something a little bit...
0:06:55 > 0:06:56You want a big lump, don't you?
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Well, you now only have 55 minutes to find it.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Reds, how are you doing?
0:07:01 > 0:07:03It's quite hard to pick things, isn't it?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05It is, in the time.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08I like cufflinks, actually. I could be cufflinks man.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Sometimes I feel with cufflinks, if you're buying cufflinks,
0:07:11 > 0:07:13- it's nice to get something a little bit different.- Yeah.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Something a little novelty, do you know what I mean?
0:07:15 > 0:07:17- Yeah, definitely.- But if you want to look at them,
0:07:17 > 0:07:19- as I say... - They're not jazzy enough.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- ..you can buy anything you want. - They're not jazzy enough for us.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23Not jazzy enough, OK.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Oh, dear. Well, keep hunting, Reds.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29In the Blue corner, a silver cardholder has caught Claudia's eye.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32That's the solid silver you're after as well.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33We could see what price it was.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35There is a couple of little dents and dinks in it.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37I suppose it all depends on price.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39I tell you what, I thought...
0:07:39 > 0:07:41I thought you put them specs on to see
0:07:41 > 0:07:45what you're doing. It looks like Claudia's got the eyes here.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47I know, because I'm so used to being held back, Danny.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- I'm not allowed to spend money. - Let yourself go, Rob.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52- Let yourself go! - Let yourself go!
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Rob's just like a kid in a sweet shop,
0:07:54 > 0:07:56but still no purchases.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59What about an animal-themed collectable, Ollie?
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Just as Granny ordered.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- Oh, there's a little squirrel jug. - Where?- Where?
0:08:04 > 0:08:07That giant squirrel jug.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Oh, that's horrid, isn't it?
0:08:09 > 0:08:11THEY LAUGH
0:08:11 > 0:08:14I mean, that's horrid with a capital H.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15Well, it's certainly different.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19So, Blues, what's the price of that silver cardholder?
0:08:19 > 0:08:21THEY GASP
0:08:21 > 0:08:23- No.- I didn't expect it to be that much.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Well, I thought... There's a lot of detail there,
0:08:25 > 0:08:27there's a lot of work and craftsmanship gone into that.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- There is, there is, there is.- That's what warrants that price of £120.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- Yeah.- Lovely piece, just a little bit too rich for us.
0:08:34 > 0:08:35- Yeah, yeah.- OK.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Bad luck, Rob. The hunt goes on.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Catherine, those look funky.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- Oh.- Do you like these chairs? - We're going through that.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46- I mean...- It doesn't look a very supportive chair.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48What do you mean, you sit on them and you...
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- Yeah.- ..end up on the floor?- Yeah.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52That's got nothing to it.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53You know, they've got a look.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56It's like an orange fence on a work site, that is.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00- Shall I take that as a no, you're not interested?- Yeah.- OK, OK.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02These boys are proving hard to please and,
0:09:02 > 0:09:04with 20 minutes on the clock,
0:09:04 > 0:09:06both teams need to start spending.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Come on, Blues.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11This is only £8, but...
0:09:11 > 0:09:12Just, you've got to check for damage.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14That's the only thing on these things.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16There's no damage, I think, at all.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Damage is paramount.
0:09:19 > 0:09:20It really is.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21What makes you like it?
0:09:21 > 0:09:25I just think the detail's just really pretty, really colourful.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26It's quite unusual that it's a duck egg.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29The duck egg refers to the wafer thin porcelain
0:09:29 > 0:09:32on this Japanese eggshell ware.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33- If you're happy with that, then... - OK.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- Let's see if we can get something off that, as well.- Yeah.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37Let me see if I can find Dave.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- I'll leave that with you. - Yes, lovely, thank you.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44So whilst Danny goes off to track down David from the Antiques Centre,
0:09:44 > 0:09:46will the Reds pour any money into this?
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Oh, this is from Sheffield. That's us, mate.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- Sheffield silver.- What is that? - Sheffield silver.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- That's...- What?- That's a gravy boat thing, isn't it?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Yeah. Great bit of Sheffield silver's good,
0:09:57 > 0:10:00nice to buy because quite often, that's really where it's assayed,
0:10:00 > 0:10:03so where it's marked, it's stamped, you know.
0:10:03 > 0:10:04Silver has hallmarks on the back of...
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Well, not on the back, but it'll be on the side here.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09- Is Sheffield good for silver? - Sheffield's good for silver.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11- They love their gravy as well, so... - Do they?- Oh.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12Pie and gravy, that's the thing.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Pie and gravy? Are you pie and gravy lads?
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Oh, I need some mushy peas with the pie and gravy.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19- Maybe get that, yeah. - I'm getting hungry.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21- Exactly.- OK, how much is on that?
0:10:21 > 0:10:23It says £75.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Unless it's exceptionally heavy,
0:10:25 > 0:10:27which I don't know until I handle it,
0:10:27 > 0:10:29it's going to make £40.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31It's not really going to...
0:10:31 > 0:10:32You need to up your game!
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Like rugby, it's a team effort, Ollie.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Back to the Blues and they're talking money.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41- We found this.- Uh-huh. - The ticket says eight.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42Do you think you could do it for five?
0:10:42 > 0:10:44What's the best price you can do it for us?
0:10:44 > 0:10:46What's the best price?
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Yeah, we don't normally discount anything £10 or under.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51But because you've got a lovely smile...
0:10:51 > 0:10:53I'll let you have it for £5.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55- Yeah.- I think we should buy it. - Definitely.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- Shake the man's hand.- OK.- David. Thank you.- Thank you very much. - Thank you.
0:10:58 > 0:11:04Well done, Blues. One item down and, at just £5, it's a great start.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Reds, you've got some catching up to do.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Can you see down there on that shelf there?
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Those sort of flat things?
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Can you see those, like little fans?
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- Little fans?- Oh, yeah. What, those two...?
0:11:18 > 0:11:22- Yeah.- Oh, yeah.- Without reading the ticket, do you know what they are?
0:11:22 > 0:11:24- HE WHISPERS:- Read the ticket!
0:11:24 > 0:11:26I'm thinking they're like salt and pepper...
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Oh, you read the ticket!
0:11:29 > 0:11:32But isn't that great fun? They're Japanese silver.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- Yeah.- Which is probably not such high quality.
0:11:35 > 0:11:36I don't know the date of them.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38- They're priced... - If they're vintage,
0:11:38 > 0:11:40I think they could be quite good fun.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42They're priced at £110 up here.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Shall we buy them? We may as well buy something.
0:11:44 > 0:11:45We haven't bought anything yet.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48We could... Well, whilst we're kind of...
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- If we get this cabinet open..- Yeah. - ..once we get it open,
0:11:51 > 0:11:52we might find other things.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Good idea, Catherine,
0:11:54 > 0:11:58and Matthew from the Antiques Centre is on hand to help.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00I'm really hoping they're not light.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- Yeah.- Go on.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03- I'll let you do the honours. - Have a feel.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05- I'll go for one.- Oh, they're light.
0:12:05 > 0:12:06- Really light.- They're so light.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10I think they're really, really unusual.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12I'm just not sure on date on these.
0:12:12 > 0:12:17Any ideas on those? Because I don't know if they're that old?
0:12:17 > 0:12:20The dealer's told me that she knows where they came from...
0:12:20 > 0:12:22- Right.- ..and they were dated to 1930s.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26We've got an engraved design on the front here, but nothing on the back.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- And what's that one?- Mine's got a little thing on the back.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31It just says sterling, 90... 950.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34So 950, so that will tell you how many parts of it,
0:12:34 > 0:12:37950 parts of it are silver.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38They're quite light.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42And for 110 quid, what do you reckon's the best we can do?
0:12:42 > 0:12:45We'd be able to do 90 on those for you.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47No chance on 90.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- No, I don't think so. - I don't think we could get much...
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Maybe to help you out, we could do another ten, so say 80?
0:12:53 > 0:12:54Do you want to go for it?
0:12:54 > 0:12:55But it's still...
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- Can we do 75? - Yeah, OK, we'll do 75.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Go on, shake his hand.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- 75, lovely, thank you. - Job done.- Thank you so much.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Right, so we have ticked shiny box.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08We need to tick something Granny box.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11- Yeah.- Yeah? Shall we go and find some animals?
0:13:11 > 0:13:13- Yeah.- Definitely.- Come on, then. - There you go, Matthew.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17So both teams have one item each and it seems Rob's still hoping
0:13:17 > 0:13:19to find his own bit of silver.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23German silver, pair of salts at the back, look.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25That's only £38 for the pair.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27What is it you really like about them?
0:13:27 > 0:13:30I mean, it's not too expensive, and I think they're practical, you know,
0:13:30 > 0:13:32people can use them these days.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Should they have a glass liner?
0:13:34 > 0:13:36You know, that's kind of another thing I'm kind of
0:13:36 > 0:13:40a little bit worried about, but one thing's for sure,
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- they are cheap. Listen...- They can be used, anyway. Come on, let's go.
0:13:43 > 0:13:44- I'm going to get David.- OK.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47I'll be back in two minutes. I've just seen him, he won't be far.
0:13:47 > 0:13:48OK, OK.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Go and grab him, Danny.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Reds, is this a purrfect buy?
0:13:53 > 0:13:55- Do you like cats?- I don't mind cats.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57- I'm quite... I can...- Yeah?
0:13:57 > 0:13:59- Yeah, I like cats. - It's a Winstanley cat.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01£60.
0:14:01 > 0:14:02Oh, it looks evil.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- I'm kind of speechless on this one. I don't really...- It looks evil.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07That cat looks so mean.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09And it's really staring at you.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11I know. It's freaking me out a little bit, actually.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13- No.- No.- Move on.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17It's proving difficult to follow Granny's instructions.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Blues, what's your verdict on the silver salts?
0:14:21 > 0:14:24It's definitely got hallmarks, so, yeah, it's definitely silver.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- Has the spoon got hallmarks?- Yeah, the spoon's got hallmarks as well.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Oh, yes. We've got a bit of German silver, 1930s.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Fair age to it. I thought it was brand-new, but...
0:14:32 > 0:14:34it's marked up with a fair age to it.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36- Oh, dear.- Bit more numbers on the old ticket.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Yeah. I didn't see that.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40The spoons are separate.
0:14:40 > 0:14:45- Oh, OK.- So the salts are £38 for the pair, and the spoons are 18.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47It's like 56 for the pair.
0:14:50 > 0:14:55Would you be able to see if they would do, as they are,
0:14:55 > 0:14:57for 35?
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- I'll ask the question.- Yeah?
0:14:59 > 0:15:01- Yeah.- OK.- Can I take the ticket?- Thank you.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Good luck with that, Rob!
0:15:03 > 0:15:06While the Blues hold their breath for that big reduction,
0:15:06 > 0:15:08the boys are struggling for a second item.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Is that...? Is that a bust?
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Yeah, I don't... Again, it's...
0:15:12 > 0:15:13That's reproduced, mate.
0:15:15 > 0:15:16Listen to him.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18- That's reproduced. - He knows, he knows.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20- I'm just getting everything wrong. - You settle down.- I know.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Looks like Tom's getting the gist of this, but what about that
0:15:23 > 0:15:26bumper discount the Blues wanted on the silver salts?
0:15:26 > 0:15:31- You're in luck. - OK.- The dealer says yes to 35.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33- With the spoons? - Including the spoons.
0:15:33 > 0:15:34- That's a deal. - That's a sale.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36- That's a deal breaker. - You take that.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40- I'll take that one.- I'll hold that, and I'll shake your hand, David.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42- Thank you.- Thank you very much.- Thanks very much, David.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Great, so 40 minutes in and Rob has got his silver,
0:15:46 > 0:15:47thanks to a cracking deal,
0:15:47 > 0:15:51but the team still have a whopping £260 in the bank.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53They've only spent £40.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57I tell you what, if they don't spend a lot of money
0:15:57 > 0:16:00on the next buy, I'm going to spend the lot when it comes
0:16:00 > 0:16:01to the leftover lolly.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04So, Blues, is it time for a rethink?
0:16:04 > 0:16:07We are going to go for a big purchase now.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09- Yeah, now.- You've got to let me spend money.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- Yeah, no, all right. - You agree?- Yeah.- Yeah, OK.
0:16:12 > 0:16:13OK, I'm going to spend some money.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16So with Claudia promising to loosen the reins,
0:16:16 > 0:16:20the Reds are under pressure to find a second item.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Could these polar bears by Dean's be the ticket?
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Dean's, good maker.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28He's up there. Dean's is a good maker, up there with cuddly toys.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30I just think that's...
0:16:30 > 0:16:31- You're the animal man. - ..interesting.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33- You're the animal man, Ollie. - But not for you?
0:16:33 > 0:16:35You're a hard man to please, aren't you?
0:16:35 > 0:16:38- I am a hard man to please. - It's quite expensive, isn't it?
0:16:38 > 0:16:39Is this yours, Matthew?
0:16:39 > 0:16:41- Yeah.- Can you just tell me a bit about this?
0:16:41 > 0:16:45Yeah, they're commemorative for the birth of the baby...
0:16:45 > 0:16:48He was the first baby polar bear born in captivity in London.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49See, I quite like that.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- I like that story.- Yeah. - You like the story?- That's...
0:16:52 > 0:16:56I mean, how many of them were actually produced, do we know?
0:16:56 > 0:16:59No, I don't know how many. I know they're quite rare.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02There's not that many that have survived in good condition.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04The price is the one thing holding us back at the moment.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05Right.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- Erm...- Obviously, we're on a budget.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12The very best I could do on them would be 150.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15140 and it's a deal, I'll shake your hand.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17- I like that.- Oh, my goodness. - Go on, then.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- Are you?- Done.- I like that, Ol.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21- Are you happy with that?- Yeah.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22I like the back story of the first...
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Yeah, it's really something.
0:17:24 > 0:17:25We haven't even looked at them, held them,
0:17:25 > 0:17:28- touched them, felt them, anything! - Sometimes, when you know, you know.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30You're big softies, really, aren't you?
0:17:30 > 0:17:32I know, any excuse for a polar bear.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34- You're a big softie.- We are, we are.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Aw, and it's an animal collectable.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Tom's granny will be pleased.
0:17:39 > 0:17:40So with ten minutes left,
0:17:40 > 0:17:44Rob wants his big-ticket item, but what about this bull
0:17:44 > 0:17:47in a china shop? Price, £200.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49- Yeah.- We said we wanted to spend a lot of money.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51- I mean, that's... - Yeah, that's quite...
0:17:51 > 0:17:55- Yeah.- We wanted to buy big, Danny, that is buying big.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Well, it's big money. It's not exactly, you know,
0:17:57 > 0:17:58it's not that big, but it's big money.
0:17:58 > 0:18:03Yeah. I'm thinking, at the right price, you know, I think...
0:18:03 > 0:18:04I think it could go.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Time to call in David.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09This dealer puts a trade price on his tickets
0:18:09 > 0:18:11and the trade price is £15...
0:18:13 > 0:18:15- Off the 200?- Off the 200.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Wow.
0:18:19 > 0:18:20- I can ring him...- 185.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24..to see what he'll do, if he'll do anything else.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26What were you thinking of?
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Thinking about 120.
0:18:29 > 0:18:30I'll try not to laugh.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34Well, that's a cheeky offer, but let's see what David can do.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36With a big-ticket item already under their belts,
0:18:36 > 0:18:39the Reds are returning to a familiar theme.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42I think they're RAF cufflinks, there.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44- They look quite nice.- I love them. - They're nice, aren't they?
0:18:44 > 0:18:47They are serious. They are the business.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51They're really lovely because they're enamel as well.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55- Enamel.- So they're like Guilloche, like engine turned enamel.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59- Yeah.- And then they're probably on, I would have thought,
0:18:59 > 0:19:01nine carat gold, maybe.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Yeah. It says there £95, though.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05- What do you think?- I think...
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Well, I'd like, I'd prefer you to touch, because last time
0:19:08 > 0:19:10you didn't touch, so now I'm telling you to touch.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- I'll have a little look, I'll have a little look.- Have a little look.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15The important thing is with enamel...
0:19:15 > 0:19:20- Yeah.- ..we need to make sure there's no damage at all on this enamel.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22It's a lovely... It's a beautiful blue colour.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Because once that's damaged...
0:19:24 > 0:19:29- Yeah.- ..it's almost impossible to replace.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Is there much negotiation on these?
0:19:32 > 0:19:35With this dealer, we can only do 10%, I'm afraid.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37So there's not too much movement.
0:19:37 > 0:19:3870 for them.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41I can give him a ring and see whether we can do 70 for you.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43- 70 would be decent.- OK.- Yeah?
0:19:43 > 0:19:44Fingers crossed.
0:19:44 > 0:19:49Now, what about Rob's £120 offer for the bull?
0:19:49 > 0:19:52His absolute bottom line is 150.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55So it's probably worth having a closer look, just before we decide.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Shall we just have a little feel?
0:19:57 > 0:19:59- Do you want me to get it out? - Yeah, please, thank you.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01I tell you what, it's a good job we've got Claudia here.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04She doesn't half... She does the thinking for us, you know.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- She does.- Someone needs to take the bull by the horns.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Oh! Wow.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13- Is that heavy?- Yeah, very heavy.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15- Which I think...- Yeah.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- ..is why...- You're right, Danny, it is very modern.- ..it's quite a lot
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- of money.- It doesn't sound like there's going to be a deal,
0:20:21 > 0:20:25but the clock's ticking. Is there any better news for the Reds?
0:20:25 > 0:20:26Well, I managed to get hold of him.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28- Oh, gosh, that was quick. - It was a quick call
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- and he will do 75 for them. - Oh!- 75?- 75.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33What do you think? Ollie, 75?
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- Ollie, 75? - 70, and it's a deal.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Come on, Matthew, pull through.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40You're putting me under pressure, but OK, yes.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Oh, lovely. Shake his hand, quickly.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44- Lovely, thank you very much. - Deal done.- Thank you, thank you.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46That is cutting it fine.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50I tell you what, you guys really know how to work
0:20:50 > 0:20:53till the very, very last second.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56They certainly do, but they're used to pressure on the pitch.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59- I'm exhausted.- So can the Blues nail a decision on the bull
0:20:59 > 0:21:00with just two minutes left?
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Is it to buy or not to buy?
0:21:03 > 0:21:06- To buy.- Pff... - We're not going to...
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- Are you sure?- Yeah.- I can see something else in there, that...
0:21:09 > 0:21:10But it's at half the money.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- It's...- What do you reckon? - It's up to you.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16One minute left? One minute left.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17Yeah.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- David.- Thank you very much. - You've got a deal.- Thank you.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23- It looks like a yes. - It looks like a yes.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27That's it, teams. Time's up.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28We're all done now, anyway.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30We're all done up. We've bought our three pieces.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32You've been absolutely fantastic.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Tom and Ollie are hoping someone at the auction will be a fan of these
0:21:38 > 0:21:42salt and pepper shakers, £75 paid.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45These burly rugby players are softies at heart
0:21:45 > 0:21:47and paid £140 for these
0:21:47 > 0:21:49polar bears. And, finally,
0:21:49 > 0:21:55will these RAF cufflinks take off at the auction, purchased for £70?
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Well, boys, you were focused.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59You were organised.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01And you are also a pair of big softies!
0:22:01 > 0:22:05- Oh, stop!- Did you have a good time? - Yeah, really enjoyed it.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08- Oh, loved it.- Really enjoyed it. - And what's your favourite item?
0:22:08 > 0:22:10I'd say my favourite was the, erm, the cufflinks.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11- The cufflinks?- Yeah.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14I think we worked quite hard for those, and, yeah,
0:22:14 > 0:22:16- I think they look quite cool.- Yeah.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Are they going to make the most profit, though?
0:22:18 > 0:22:23- Hopefully.- You're hedging your bets? - Yeah. Yeah. They are. Yeah.- Ollie,
0:22:23 > 0:22:25what was your favourite item?
0:22:25 > 0:22:26Oh, definitely the polar bear.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Is it going to make a big profit?
0:22:28 > 0:22:32Most profit...profit Bargain Hunt's seen in a while, I think.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33- What a statement!- I mean...
0:22:33 > 0:22:36You crazy kid.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38- I stand by that.- I like it.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42Now, boys, you spent 285,
0:22:42 > 0:22:44which leaves £15.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45£15, please.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47- There you go. Enjoy it. - Oh, Catherine,
0:22:47 > 0:22:49that's a wee tiny amount of money.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Have you got any idea what you're going to buy?
0:22:52 > 0:22:57Well, it's not a lot of cash, but I shall wave my magic wand and turn it
0:22:57 > 0:22:58into thousands.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01- There you go.- That's what we needed. - That's what we want to hear.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04While Catherine goes off to buy her bonus buy, let's remind
0:23:04 > 0:23:06ourselves what the Blues bought.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10First up, Claudia loved this mid-20th century eggshell ware cup
0:23:10 > 0:23:14and saucer, bought for just £5.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Next, Rob was determined to buy some silver and bought these salts
0:23:17 > 0:23:20and spoons for £35.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23And finally, with time almost up,
0:23:23 > 0:23:27they spent £150 on this decorative bull.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Claudia, your dad was very well-behaved.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32You didn't have to rein him in today, did you?
0:23:32 > 0:23:34No, he was quite good, actually. You were quite sensible.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Erm, I think we had quite a mutual decision on,
0:23:37 > 0:23:39- I think, all three items. - All three items, yeah.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Claudia, what was your favourite item?
0:23:41 > 0:23:43I really liked the first one we bought.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Erm, it was a duck egg cup and saucer, which is really nice.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Erm, it had a lovely pattern on it as well, which was...
0:23:47 > 0:23:50- Good.- Yeah, it was.- And you didn't pay a lot of money for it?
0:23:50 > 0:23:52No, no, it was only £5, which
0:23:52 > 0:23:54I'm guaranteed we're going to make a profit on that one.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Ah, is it going to make the most profit?
0:23:56 > 0:23:58I believe so, yeah.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59I think you're right. Yeah, I think so.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01So what was your favourite item?
0:24:01 > 0:24:03I preferred the bull, erm,
0:24:03 > 0:24:05but I think the duck egg cup and saucer
0:24:05 > 0:24:07is going to make the most profit.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11You spent a goodly amount of money, £190.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13- We did.- Could I have 110, please?
0:24:13 > 0:24:15- Yeah, of course. - Thank you very much.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17That will go straight over to Danny.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18Danny, a goodly enough sum.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Do you know what you're going to buy?
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- HE SIGHS - I'm not quite sure yet.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24We'll just leave it at that.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27While Danny goes off to buy his bonus buy,
0:24:27 > 0:24:30I'm going to visit some place rather interesting.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35TRUMPETS SOUND
0:24:41 > 0:24:44The changing of the guard is an institution that fascinates
0:24:44 > 0:24:46people all over the world.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Each week here, in Central London,
0:24:48 > 0:24:50thousands of people peer through these gates
0:24:50 > 0:24:53to watch this most British of ceremonies.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55I am at Wellington Barracks,
0:24:55 > 0:24:58which is just next door to Buckingham Palace.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01It's home to the five regiments of Foot Guards
0:25:01 > 0:25:02who take it in turns to
0:25:02 > 0:25:05protect the sovereign, Her Majesty the Queen.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Today, here in front of the barracks,
0:25:07 > 0:25:11the Coldstream Guards are preparing to take over from the Irish Guards,
0:25:11 > 0:25:14who have been protecting Buckingham Palace
0:25:14 > 0:25:18and St James's Palace for the past 48 hours.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22This routine has remained largely unchanged since 1837,
0:25:22 > 0:25:25when Queen Victoria moved into Buckingham Palace.
0:25:25 > 0:25:30Before that, the sovereign was based just at St James's Palace.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34Soldiers have guarded the king or queen since the reign of Henry VII,
0:25:34 > 0:25:38who made the royal bodyguard a permanent institution.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42But it's important to remember that the Queen's guards,
0:25:42 > 0:25:46as well as being first-class ceremonial soldiers,
0:25:46 > 0:25:49are also world-class fighting soldiers
0:25:49 > 0:25:53who have been involved in every major conflict,
0:25:53 > 0:25:55from America to Afghanistan,
0:25:55 > 0:25:59and from the Falkirk to the Falklands.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03Wellington Barracks is also home to the Guards Museum,
0:26:03 > 0:26:06which tells the fascinating story of the regiments
0:26:06 > 0:26:07from the 17th century to
0:26:07 > 0:26:12the present day and explains what being a soldier in the Guards is all
0:26:12 > 0:26:16about. I've come to meet Andrew Wallace, the curator here,
0:26:16 > 0:26:17to find out more.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Andrew, the guards' uniforms are wonderful.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Tell me a little bit about them.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Well, the story starts over here
0:26:27 > 0:26:29with the senior regiment of Foot Guards,
0:26:29 > 0:26:32the first, or Grenadier Regiment of Foot Guards,
0:26:32 > 0:26:33formed in 1656 in Bruges,
0:26:33 > 0:26:36in Flanders, to protect Charles II, who was in exile.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Being the senior regiment,
0:26:39 > 0:26:41their buttons are singly spaced down the front of the jacket.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45They have a grenade on their collar and a white plume on the left of the
0:26:45 > 0:26:47- bearskin cap.- Yes, I can see that, there.
0:26:47 > 0:26:48Why is it on the left?
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Well, in line of battle,
0:26:51 > 0:26:54when all the regiments lined up ready to go into battle,
0:26:54 > 0:26:56everything senior in the military goes to the right,
0:26:56 > 0:26:59so being the senior regiment, they form up right off the line,
0:26:59 > 0:27:02so all the other regiments are off to their left.
0:27:02 > 0:27:03So for their plume to be seen,
0:27:03 > 0:27:05it has to be on the left of the bearskin cap
0:27:05 > 0:27:06so as the other regiments can
0:27:06 > 0:27:10see it. Now, older than them by some six years are the Coldstream Guards.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12You would think, being older, they would be senior,
0:27:12 > 0:27:15but they unfortunately backed Oliver Cromwell
0:27:15 > 0:27:17in the English Civil War, and when he lost,
0:27:17 > 0:27:19- they lost... - They were on the wrong side.
0:27:19 > 0:27:20They lost their seniority.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Their buttons are grouped in twos down the front of the jacket.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25They have the Garter star as their collar badge.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27So they threw a bit of a hissy fit and they said,
0:27:27 > 0:27:31"If we can't be in our rightful position, right of the line,
0:27:31 > 0:27:35"we're going to go right to the other end and be left of the line."
0:27:35 > 0:27:38So for their plume to be seen by the other regiments,
0:27:38 > 0:27:40it's got to be on the right of the bearskin cap.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Next in line, we've got, erm, the Scots Guards.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45In those days, there were only three regiments,
0:27:45 > 0:27:48and if you weren't right of the line and you weren't left of the line...
0:27:48 > 0:27:50- You were in the centre? - You were in the centre.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52No-one left to see your plume, so they don't have one.
0:27:52 > 0:27:57In 1900, Queen Victoria introduced the Irish Regiment of Foot Guards.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00In those days, a third of the British Army
0:28:00 > 0:28:02was made up of Irishmen.
0:28:02 > 0:28:0615 years after that, the Welsh Guards were formed
0:28:06 > 0:28:07during the Great War.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09As well as these uniforms,
0:28:09 > 0:28:12the museum contains a range of artefacts
0:28:12 > 0:28:14relating to the five regiments.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19So, Anita, I know that Bargain Hunt has its very famous Golden Gavel.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21It does indeed.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23I thought you might be interested to see
0:28:23 > 0:28:26our equivalent, which is the gold gun.
0:28:26 > 0:28:31This is a prize for musketry which dates back to the late Victorian,
0:28:31 > 0:28:32early Edwardian times.
0:28:32 > 0:28:37And it's still shot for to this very day within the Grenadier Guards, and
0:28:37 > 0:28:40the winner gets to wear the gold gun.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Not for very long, because it's then recovered to the safety of the
0:28:42 > 0:28:46museum, but in the old days, you won it for a year.
0:28:46 > 0:28:47And just behind us here,
0:28:47 > 0:28:51we have the uniform of regimental Sergeant Major Gus Thomas,
0:28:51 > 0:28:54a very famous, brilliant marksman in the Grenadiers,
0:28:54 > 0:28:58and we are fortunate enough to have an oil painting with him actually
0:28:58 > 0:29:00wearing it on his uniform for the year that he won it.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02It was fiercely competed for?
0:29:02 > 0:29:04- Absolutely. - Just like our Golden Gavels.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Quite so.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Andrew, that was fascinating,
0:29:08 > 0:29:12but now it's time for us to stand to attention and continue today's
0:29:12 > 0:29:15Bargain Hunt battle as we head off to the auction.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Today, we're at London Auctions in Chiswick
0:29:28 > 0:29:31with auctioneer Mark Longson.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Mark, it's lovely to be here.
0:29:33 > 0:29:34Welcome to London Auctions.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36Thank you. Now, Reds first.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38Tom and Ollie.
0:29:38 > 0:29:44Their first item was this pair of white metal condiment shakers.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46What do you think of those?
0:29:46 > 0:29:48Have you seen something like that before?
0:29:48 > 0:29:49- Fan shaped?- No, I haven't.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52- I haven't.- I think they are so attractive because of that.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55- Unusual.- Yes. I mean, it's going to appeal to somebody who likes
0:29:55 > 0:29:59the Orient but also the silver element as well, you know.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01We think that's probably around about 40, £60 worth.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03They paid £75 for it.
0:30:03 > 0:30:07- It could get there.- Our next item was Ollie's favourites.
0:30:07 > 0:30:15He's about 6'4", and he fell in love with this mum and baby polar bear.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17I think he's going to get some stick down the rugby club.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20I mean, there's plenty of history in those bears,
0:30:20 > 0:30:22with the little cub being
0:30:22 > 0:30:25the first actually produced in captivity at London Zoo.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28Made by Dean's Rag.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30We've gone for a 60 to 90.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34They paid 140, so they absolutely fell in love with them.
0:30:34 > 0:30:41Well, their third item is this pair of RAF blue enamelled cufflinks.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43Good style, but it is only...
0:30:43 > 0:30:46That narrows the field, doesn't it?
0:30:46 > 0:30:49- It does.- It will only appeal to someone who is in the RAF.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51What's your estimate?
0:30:51 > 0:30:53I think we've gone for about 50 to £80.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Yeah, well they paid 70, so we do have a chance of profit.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57- We're in that bracket, then.- Yes.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00So it looks like they might need their bonus buy,
0:31:00 > 0:31:02so let's go and have a look at it.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Ollie, there's someone missing here today.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08Your team-mate, Tom.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11- Where is he?- He's gone to New Zealand to play rugby.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14- Wow.- He's only been there a week, but I think he's really enjoying
0:31:14 > 0:31:15- himself.- Is he having a good time?
0:31:15 > 0:31:19- Yeah, he is, yeah.- That's terrific.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23- Anyway, you left Catherine with 15 poor little pounds.- I know!
0:31:23 > 0:31:27- I know.- Catherine, can I see what you did?
0:31:27 > 0:31:30- Wow!- Have one of those.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33- Thank you.- Now, when you think of rugby players,
0:31:33 > 0:31:35- what do you think of?- Mugs.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38No, not mugs, you think of beer.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40- Tankards.- Lovely.- No, seriously,
0:31:40 > 0:31:43I bought these because they are designed by Keith Murray,
0:31:43 > 0:31:46and Keith Murray was a designer for Wedgwood.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49It's a very simple design, but that's really what he was all about.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51He was all about doing very simple,
0:31:51 > 0:31:55plain ideas, and it's got this lovely little ribbing bit
0:31:55 > 0:31:56at the bottom.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59- How much did you pay? - Well, for these two,
0:31:59 > 0:32:02a mere £15, which was all I was left.
0:32:02 > 0:32:03Blew the lot, blew the lot!
0:32:03 > 0:32:05So what are they likely to make me?
0:32:05 > 0:32:09I think they should make between 30 and £50.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12- Ideal.- Do you think Tom would like them, Ollie?
0:32:12 > 0:32:17Well, he was a big beer drinker, so I think he'd love them, yeah.
0:32:17 > 0:32:21- I think you've convinced Ollie, Catherine.- I hope so.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25But you can make your final decision after your other three items have
0:32:25 > 0:32:27been sold, and in the meantime,
0:32:27 > 0:32:31let's find out what the auctioneer thinks of Catherine's Keith Murray
0:32:31 > 0:32:33tankards.
0:32:33 > 0:32:38Well, Catherine bought this pair of tankards.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41Well, Keith Murray is known for his simplicity,
0:32:41 > 0:32:43and these are simple tankards,
0:32:43 > 0:32:45and people these days are buying articles
0:32:45 > 0:32:47that they are actually going to be using.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49What's your estimate on the tankards?
0:32:49 > 0:32:50We're looking at 30 to 50.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Catherine only paid £15.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55- She did well.- She did well on that. - Brilliant, yes.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57I think I smell a profit there.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59Could be, could be in the nest.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01Yeah. That's it for the Reds.
0:33:01 > 0:33:06Now, daughter and dad team, Claudia and Rob.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Both thought this would make the most profit.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Their first item.
0:33:10 > 0:33:14It's the little Oriental eggshell ware cabinet cup and saucer.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18Does it have an eggshell? Has it got a face at the bottom?
0:33:18 > 0:33:20No, there's no face at the bottom.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22So definitely for the export market.
0:33:22 > 0:33:2515 to 30 is the estimate that we've put on it.
0:33:25 > 0:33:30Well, I'm sure they'll be happy with 15 to 30 because they only paid £5
0:33:30 > 0:33:32for it.
0:33:32 > 0:33:38The second item is the pair of 20th-century silver salts.
0:33:38 > 0:33:39They are marked 800.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Tell me what you think of those.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44Continental little salts with the spoons.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Yeah, ideal for the dinner party.
0:33:46 > 0:33:47Estimate on that?
0:33:47 > 0:33:52- 40 to 60.- Well they paid £35 for it, so it's not looking too bad so far.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54- That's fine, that's fine. - Their third item was
0:33:54 > 0:33:57this contemporary cast of a bull.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59It was Rob's favourite item.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01Tell me, what do you think?
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Is Rob a Taurus?
0:34:03 > 0:34:04He may well be.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06That might have influenced him.
0:34:06 > 0:34:0860 to 90 we've gone for.
0:34:08 > 0:34:1260 to 90. They paid £150 for it.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15Well, it looks like they'll definitely need their bonus buy,
0:34:15 > 0:34:16so let's go and have a look at it.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21You gave Danny 110.
0:34:21 > 0:34:22Danny, what did you buy?
0:34:24 > 0:34:28Well, I did say I was going to shed a bit of light on the item.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31Something you're probably not believing I've bought, but...
0:34:31 > 0:34:33I don't like that face.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35- That's all right. It's pretty. - It's OK.
0:34:35 > 0:34:39It's OK? Well, I mean, what we've got here is a 1960s,
0:34:39 > 0:34:411970s pendant light.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44Brass in the centre with glass shades.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46Quite in vogue nowadays.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48I think everybody likes a bit of retro,
0:34:48 > 0:34:49everybody wants a bit of retro.
0:34:49 > 0:34:50How much did you pay?
0:34:50 > 0:34:51I paid 48.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56OK, OK.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58How much do you think it's going to make?
0:34:58 > 0:35:00Well, I think it's a big piece.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02Lighting makes a room.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06You know, this could go on to 60, 70, maybe even £80.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08You're looking a wee bit underwhelmed.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10What do you think of it, Rob?
0:35:11 > 0:35:13I don't like it.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16But if it's going to make money, then, you know,
0:35:16 > 0:35:18I'll go with Danny's choice.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20What about you, Claudia?
0:35:20 > 0:35:21Yeah, I don't think it's too bad.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24It's nice and pretty. I think if we can polish it up a little bit,
0:35:24 > 0:35:26- it'll be all right.- Yeah.
