0:00:04 > 0:00:07Welcome to the party. We're in the home of
0:00:07 > 0:00:10Europe's largest and most vibrant street festival -
0:00:10 > 0:00:13the Notting Hill Carnival in West London.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16Today, we're having our own mini carnival
0:00:16 > 0:00:19as the Reds and Blues parade around the antiques stalls
0:00:19 > 0:00:23on Portobello Road. Time to get this party started.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26ALL: Let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Notting Hill's first carnival was held in 1964,
0:00:51 > 0:00:54celebrating Caribbean culture.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Now, every August bank holiday,
0:00:56 > 0:00:59over one million people turn up here to enjoy the fun.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03But today, Portobello Road's antiques market
0:01:03 > 0:01:05is bustling with stalls, so there's plenty of choice
0:01:05 > 0:01:09for our teams to spend their £300 on three items
0:01:09 > 0:01:12and hopefully make a profit at auction.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Let's take a peek at what's coming up.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19The Reds know exactly what they're looking for.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21- What does that say? - It says bargains.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22- Bargains.- Bargains.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24The Blues think they know best.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26We are overruling you on everything.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28There's nowt wrong with that.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33And could a Golden Gavel be on the cards for the Blues?
0:01:33 > 0:01:34It went up to 40.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36- Or the Reds?- I'm shaking.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43But that's all for later. Let's meet today's teams.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Two sets of perfect partners.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49For the Reds, we have Sally and Chris, and for the Blues,
0:01:49 > 0:01:51we have Lindsay and James.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Welcome and hello.
0:01:53 > 0:01:54ALL: Hello!
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Now, Reds first. Chris and Sally, you're married,
0:01:57 > 0:02:00but I believe you played hard to get.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- Just a little.- Yeah, she did.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05I think we were probably friends for maybe seven or eight years
0:02:05 > 0:02:08before we sort of finally got around to dating each other,
0:02:08 > 0:02:11and I guess those first five or six years of those seven or eight was
0:02:11 > 0:02:14probably me stalking Sally around the internet,
0:02:14 > 0:02:16trying to get a date with her.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17But she finally succumbed...
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Your plan worked.
0:02:19 > 0:02:20..to my perseverance and charm.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Sally, your job sounds fun.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23I'm a DJ.
0:02:23 > 0:02:29I've been doing it since I was about 17, and I play at lots of premieres,
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- launches.- You've also had another glamorous job.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35I have. I am a model, have been since I was 14.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38And yeah, it's great fun. I love it. I've travelled the world,
0:02:38 > 0:02:42I've graced the covers of magazines over the years,
0:02:42 > 0:02:44commercials - yeah, it's been really good fun.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48No wonder he was after you! THEY LAUGH
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Now, Chris, you're quite a creative person as well.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55I studied graphic design and I now work in events and production.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58So I still do a lot of scenic design mixed with graphic design.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Now, the reason that we're here -
0:03:00 > 0:03:02what do you know about antiques and collectables?
0:03:02 > 0:03:03I know quite a bit.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07My father is and has always been an antique collector,
0:03:07 > 0:03:10and he's trying to teach Chris, my dad is.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12I asked him if he'd teach me.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14He said, you've either got it or you haven't,
0:03:14 > 0:03:16and then he didn't say another word to me about it, so, yeah, yeah.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18So, that's OK.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21So, hopefully, my knowledge will get us through today.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24And Chris is there just to...
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- Look pretty. - All right, be decorative.
0:03:28 > 0:03:29OK. Well, that's it for the Reds.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Now, over to our Blues.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Lindsey and James.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Now, I believe your eyes met across a crowded bar.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40We were within the same group on a night out,
0:03:40 > 0:03:42and we just seemed to be at the bar at the same time,
0:03:42 > 0:03:45which probably says something about us, so we just got chatting,
0:03:45 > 0:03:47and then we went on to a Cuban club,
0:03:47 > 0:03:51so I tried to impress him with my dance moves, and probably failed.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53- You fancied him?- Oh, yeah.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Now, Lindsay, you're planning a career change at the moment -
0:03:57 > 0:03:58tell us a bit about that.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Well, I'm studying in my free time,
0:04:01 > 0:04:05doing an Open University degree in IT and Applied Psychology.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07So, do you spend all your spare time studying?
0:04:07 > 0:04:10I'd like to say yes, but no.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12I have quite a love of craft beer,
0:04:12 > 0:04:15so we quite often go around and we travel around visiting
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- quirky breweries. - I thought all beer tasted the same.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22After a while it might, but not the first few!
0:04:22 > 0:04:26Now, James, you sound like a clever chap.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Tell me what you're studying just now.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32I recently started PhD research at the University of Cambridge.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34- What are you studying? - It's in the engineering department,
0:04:34 > 0:04:38and it's looking at how we can better maintain the railway system.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40If you can manage to sort that out, James,
0:04:40 > 0:04:42you'll make a lot of people happy.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- Let's hope so!- What do you know about antiques and collectables?
0:04:45 > 0:04:49I come from a family of collectors, but I didn't get that gene.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53As a child, we went around a lot of antiques and collectors' fairs.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55I don't think any of it went in.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58I'm hoping there's maybe something that's sunk in over the time.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- What about you, James?- I know absolutely nothing about it.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03- What about tactics? - Big as we can get, I reckon.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05We're going to need a trailer to get stuff home.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10To do all that shopping, you need some money, so £300 for you folks,
0:05:10 > 0:05:12and £300 for you.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Your experts await, so off you go.
0:05:15 > 0:05:20Two teams with a plan - let's hope they execute it.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24So, who's expertly guiding our teams today?
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Boxing clever for the Reds, it's Catherine Southon.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31And hoping to pour in some hefty profits with the Blues
0:05:31 > 0:05:33is Danny Sebastian.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37So, are we ready for Portobello?
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- As we'll ever be, yeah. - Or is Portobello ready for us?
0:05:40 > 0:05:43What are we going to buy today, Sally?
0:05:43 > 0:05:46I think contemporary, a bit of wood, maybe a bit of silver.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Something fun, something big, maybe a map.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- Bargains, bargains. - Bargains - that's what we want!
0:05:51 > 0:05:55Something stylish, maybe some homeware that's still useful.
0:05:55 > 0:05:56Start looking, teams.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Your time starts now.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- Let's go.- Come on, let's go and have a look.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Yes, the clock's ticking, and Sally's not hanging about.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06She's already spied some silver.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08There's... I don't know... Oh, no, well...
0:06:08 > 0:06:10There was that. I think that that...
0:06:11 > 0:06:13..is silver-plated.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15So we're not going to do silver plate.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Only the real McCoy will do for Sally.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Meanwhile, the Blues are storming ahead.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22There's plenty here, keep your eyes open.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Keep your eyes open, something might jump at you.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27- It all smells good. - Well, the food smells,
0:06:27 > 0:06:30but we can't be buying that, though, at the minute.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Focus on Bargain Hunting, not your stomachs, Blues.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35Catherine, what's caught your eye?
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Aha! What do I see?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39You said you wanted bargains.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Well, that's what Chris was after.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- What does that say? - It says bargains.
0:06:43 > 0:06:44- Bargains.- Bargains.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Hunt down your bargain.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50There's nothing, nothing jumping out at me.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51Don't lose faith, Reds.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Keep looking. Blues, how's your shopping list shaping up?
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Tell you what would be nice - you know, like a nice map of London,
0:06:58 > 0:06:59cos you said you like maps.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- Yes.- And like a nice, old map of London might be quite interesting,
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- mightn't it?- It would be very nice. - Yes.- If we can find one.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07We've got an hour to do it.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- That's true.- Keep plotting, Blues.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Now, what's this the Reds have spotted?
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- Right.- Inkwell.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17That is not an inkwell, that's actually a match striker.
0:07:17 > 0:07:18Oh, right. I quite like that.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20And would that be plated or silver?
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- Could be either. - I quite like the match striker.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- Can we...?- We're interested in your match striker.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28The only thing is that it's slightly worn when you look at the marks.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- Can you see the marks?- Yeah.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Just around one side, and they're very worn.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Yes, and it has been polished quite a lot, cos the hallmark...
0:07:35 > 0:07:39- What do you think? - Let's have a little lookie.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- It's pretty heavy, isn't it? - It is, it's quite nice.- Yeah.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45I mean, there are marks, but it's very rubbed there.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- On the bottom, it's not really any...- It's a bit past its best.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50I think your dad has taught you well.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- What's your best price on that? - £100.- You've got to be kidding me.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57- 100?- We'll do it for 25. - 25.- It's a bit knackered, isn't it?
0:07:57 > 0:07:59I think, if you could do that for 18...
0:07:59 > 0:08:0220 I will do. And I promise you, it's still worth 20 quid.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- Yeah.- It's not an unusual piece.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Should we sort of have that in our minds?
0:08:08 > 0:08:10- Yes.- Why not sort of keep having a look around?
0:08:10 > 0:08:12OK. We'll ask him to keep that out.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Or maybe get the stallholder to put it to one side, Sally.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Blues, do you have anything in the mix?
0:08:19 > 0:08:23There's the cocktail shaker there. Is that a cocktail shaker?
0:08:23 > 0:08:24It is a cocktail shaker.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27I think, just a lone cocktail shaker, quite common.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- Shall we keep going, then? - We'll keep going.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Nothing stirring up the Blues just yet,
0:08:32 > 0:08:35and the Reds aren't mixing things up, either.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37They're still at the same stall.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Is there anything in that case?
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Yes. That's 150.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46That's lovely.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48That's really nice.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49A little scent bottle.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Is that the right bottle, though, to go inside it?
0:08:52 > 0:08:55I think so. If not, it's a pretty good fit.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56What's the asking price for this one?
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- £150.- 150?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02That seems... That seems a lot of money for a little bottle.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05I think it's beautiful.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Sometimes, when you look at these items,
0:09:08 > 0:09:12the case is just as important. and look at these clasps here.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15It tells me that it's probably about 1780...
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- Really?- 1800.- And would it have been used for perfume?
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Yeah, it would be to hold, like, a little perfume bottle,
0:09:21 > 0:09:24exactly what we've got here. Let me just have a little look.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26- Do you want to hold that?- Yes.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29It's a lovely colour blue.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31It's in really good condition for the age of it.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32It's nicely faceted.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35It is pretty but I can't see that making 150 at auction.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39- 150, I think, is a lot. - What do you think? Do you like it?
0:09:39 > 0:09:41I do like it. I think it's interesting.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43I've never seen anything like it before, but then
0:09:43 > 0:09:45- I've never been looking before. - No. Shall we shake the man's hand?
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Please don't blame me, but I think...
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Well, it's all on you, Catherine.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52I think that's worth that all day long, don't you?
0:09:52 > 0:09:53Come on, then. Come on, then.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56We'd like to shake your hand at £150, please.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00- Thank you.- Catherine thinks the Reds have bought something very special
0:10:00 > 0:10:04but, at £150, it's half their money.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Meanwhile, the Blues haven't spent a penny.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09We're 20 minutes in. We've not bought owt.
0:10:09 > 0:10:10That's OK. That's all right.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- Are you sure?- Yeah, we've still got 40 minutes. We'll be fine.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17All I want you to know is that time runs away with you.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19I think we've got to get something in the bag quite sharpish,
0:10:19 > 0:10:22otherwise it's going to stack up against us.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- All right. Let's do it.- I've seen a plate back there that says
0:10:25 > 0:10:27it's not the winning but the taking part.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29I wish you'd have said that when we were back down there.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- It's just there.- Looks like Wedgwood to me. Just a singular plate.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34I don't really know if we're going to make a profit on that.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38I like it, and I think, because we're not doing very well so far...
0:10:38 > 0:10:40- Hold on a minute. - It's quite a good sense...
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Hang fire there, Lindsay!
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Nobody said we're not doing very well.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48All I'm saying is 20 minutes has passed and we need to buy an item.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50- What do you think about it? - I think it's nice.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52- Let's have a look at it. - I can't reach!
0:10:54 > 0:10:59This is the plate. It's a bit of an Olympic plate, Munich 1972.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01It's not the winning, but the taking part.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05Lovely plate, but I just feel to take this to auction...
0:11:05 > 0:11:08If we have some people that were there at the time in the auction
0:11:08 > 0:11:11or that saw it, or experience something about it, you know?
0:11:11 > 0:11:13And if we can get it for a decent price...
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Well, it's marked up at £10.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Don't get me wrong, one thing we've got to remember is,
0:11:18 > 0:11:21when you go to auction, we've just got no idea
0:11:21 > 0:11:23- of what's going to happen. - Shall we see what we can do?
0:11:23 > 0:11:26There's the vendor. Oh, there you are!
0:11:26 > 0:11:28It is Wedgwood!
0:11:28 > 0:11:29I thought it was Wedgwood.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- It's getting better.- What's the best price you can do on it?
0:11:32 > 0:11:34I can do eight on that one.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35That's a deal. There we go.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37That means lower.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Shake the lady's hand.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43- BOTH:- Thank you. - Well done, Blues.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46First buy bought, but I think Danny wanted you to negotiate
0:11:46 > 0:11:48a little bit more off the price.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52So, 25 minutes in, Reds, where are you?
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Right, we're at crossroads.
0:11:54 > 0:11:55Where do we want to go?
0:11:55 > 0:11:59Do we want to go up, back, down, across?
0:11:59 > 0:12:00- Let's go uphill.- Uphill?
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- Yeah.- All right.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06So, whilst the teams carry on with the shopping here in Portobello,
0:12:06 > 0:12:09I'm popping round the corner to visit
0:12:09 > 0:12:11the Museum of Packaging and Advertising.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16It's home to a collection of well-loved brands.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19And taking me down memory lane is Robert Opie,
0:12:19 > 0:12:21the man behind the collection.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26So, Robert, where are we going to start today?
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Well, the museum starts in Victorian times but today we're going to be in
0:12:29 > 0:12:31the 1930s, packed with excitement.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35- I love that period. What are you going to show me?- Well,
0:12:35 > 0:12:38it is a time when there's a whole new range of sweet treats coming in.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40All kinds of confectionery goodies.
0:12:40 > 0:12:45So, these objects and the packaging was part of everyday life.
0:12:45 > 0:12:50But it was telling us a bit about what was happening at that time.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54Absolutely. This was an era crammed full with all kinds of things going
0:12:54 > 0:12:56on. The Royal events were everywhere.
0:12:56 > 0:13:01There was Silver Jubilee, George V, there was a coronation of George VI,
0:13:01 > 0:13:03and of course there was the abdication in between.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06And I can see here, all these royal souvenirs.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Yes. We were at the zenith of royal souvenirs.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11A real abundance.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14I've got one thing I'd really like to share with you
0:13:14 > 0:13:15and it's this little box.
0:13:15 > 0:13:1816 photographs of the Royal family in a nutshell.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20In a nutshell.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22And there is the nutshell.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25And here are the photographs which would have been inside.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Isn't that fascinating?!
0:13:27 > 0:13:30So, which era are we going to next?
0:13:30 > 0:13:33We're going to jump past the austerity years of the 1940s
0:13:33 > 0:13:36and then find ourselves in the 1950s.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37That should be interesting.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Here we go, in the 1950s.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Glorious and wonderful colour.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51We're now coming in to that self-service era,
0:13:51 > 0:13:54when everything's got to stand out off-the-shelf and shout at you,
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- "I'm here."- Sugar Puffs.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02That was a great treat at home when you didn't get much of it.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Maybe Saturdays or Sundays.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07But, Scott's porridge oats, that's what we had for our breakfast.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09That was the number one breakfast, was it, for you?
0:14:09 > 0:14:12I mean, I wasn't doing the laundry at that time but I can remember
0:14:12 > 0:14:14my mum using Persil.
0:14:14 > 0:14:19And, of course, the colours, the graphics, are very strong and vibrant.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21And the Surf has that pop-art look.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25It's something new, it's post-war, new beginnings.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28One thing I must show you, this is something I would have loved
0:14:28 > 0:14:31as a child. Sparky Robot.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34And you wind him up and he's like magic.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36And there he is.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Every boy wanted a robot.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Well, of course, this was a time of great scientific advancement.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46And a robot was a new concept.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48- Exactly that.- You didn't have one?
0:14:48 > 0:14:49Well, I didn't, I'm afraid.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51That was fascinating.
0:14:51 > 0:14:52Where's next on our journey?
0:14:52 > 0:14:56Well, we're going to go through the swinging '60s into the 1970s.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58- Can't wait.- Jolly good!
0:15:03 > 0:15:05So, Robert, the '70s.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10The '70s, the era of decimalisation, coming into the Common Market,
0:15:10 > 0:15:15and of course, the era of platform shoes and punk.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Yeah, well, I was a young woman in the '70s,
0:15:17 > 0:15:21so I enjoyed the '70s and I had a pair of platform...
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Many pairs of platform shoes.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Platform shoes, I suppose, was one of those defining moments.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- Did you wear platform shoes? - Sadly not,
0:15:29 > 0:15:34but I did subsequently acquire a pair of Dave Hill's platform shoes
0:15:34 > 0:15:36- that he wore on stage. - Would they be down here?
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Aren't they brilliant?!
0:15:38 > 0:15:43Look at that! That's a real bit of glam rock and bling, isn't it?
0:15:43 > 0:15:49They do give you a very good lift and they have been spectacular.
0:15:49 > 0:15:54Aw! Robert, it has been so interesting to be at the museum.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Thank you very much for showing me round.
0:15:57 > 0:15:58But, right now,
0:15:58 > 0:16:02I'm going back to see how the teams are getting on at Portobello Road.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09Back to it. We're halfway through and both teams only have one item.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Chris, any thoughts about your next buy?
0:16:12 > 0:16:14What would be your thing?
0:16:14 > 0:16:17I like prints. I don't know. I like all sorts of stuff.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Blues, what about you?
0:16:20 > 0:16:23- Lindsay quite likes the cuff links. - Cuff links.- Hold on a minute.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Is this the Lindsay show? She's already bought one.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- Yes, it is.- It is the Lindsay show.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30So, what would you recommend?
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Looks like the stallholder wants to show you
0:16:32 > 0:16:36an early 20th-century pen-and-ink stand. But will it impress?
0:16:39 > 0:16:41- RHA.- RHA.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- Royal...- Horse Artillery.
0:16:44 > 0:16:45Ah!
0:16:45 > 0:16:47- Very early.- First World War. - First World War.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50- 1914.- What do you think? - It's definitely different.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52It's quite nice and specific.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54It's whether you like it, really, that's the thing.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57This chap here might have had it here for three months
0:16:57 > 0:17:00and trying to get rid of it. So, he says, well, you know, "Buy this."
0:17:00 > 0:17:03It would look smart on somebody's desk.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05- Smart on somebody's desk.- Make a nice desk piece, it would do, yes.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08The question is, what kind of price do you do for this?
0:17:08 > 0:17:10- 95.- At the end of the day,
0:17:10 > 0:17:11we can look at it and we can say
0:17:11 > 0:17:15we've got something there that we know. If push comes to shove,
0:17:15 > 0:17:18we're running out of time, we can come back to him but...
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Yes.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22- Yeah?- Yeah, I think that's a good shout.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Looks like more of a shove from Lindsay,
0:17:24 > 0:17:27but nevertheless, one to keep in mind.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30- What do we want to do?- I think go back for that match striker.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32- The little glass one? - We're running out of time.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34- Really?- I've been thinking about that.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Oh, my goodness! That may well have gone.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38- Let's be quick. - The car might have gone.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40The man might have gone. Shall we run?
0:17:40 > 0:17:43- Run, run, run.- Let's hope they're not too late.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45The pressure's also on the Blues.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Lindsay, any ideas?
0:17:47 > 0:17:48Where are you looking? Ah!
0:17:48 > 0:17:50- Lantern slides.- Ah, yeah.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53We're quite interested in these lantern slides.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Could you tell us a little bit about it?
0:17:55 > 0:17:59The lantern slides. Yeah. You've got the stories like...
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- Three Little Pigs.- Peter Pan, Three Little Pigs, whatever.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05But there's some topographical stuff, as well - Australia.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06Well, I'm from Australia.
0:18:07 > 0:18:12- Seems like there's a bit of an omen! - They're all different, really.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17These slides were made to project early photographic images.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Have you seen these in auction before, or...?
0:18:19 > 0:18:20I'm a little bit lost here, really.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23There's collectors for this kind of thing. There is. There really is.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Again, there's a lot of history here.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28People want to see old photographs, especially if they can relate to it.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30You being Australian, I suppose,
0:18:30 > 0:18:34you've kind of got some sort of link to what's going on here.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38- Absolutely, yeah.- What sort of price are we talking?- 75.- For the two?
0:18:38 > 0:18:42- The two boxes?- The two little boxes, but they're in three at the moment.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45And you've got little text at the bottom as well if you can see them.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Some have, some haven't. So you just have to go through them.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50When do you think they were produced or made?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52What do you reckon? 1890, 1880?
0:18:52 > 0:18:54It would have been late Victorian, wouldn't it?
0:18:54 > 0:18:56- Yeah.- What's the absolute best?
0:18:56 > 0:18:59They're 75. There's quite of lot there.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01If you work them out individually...
0:19:01 > 0:19:02What do you think?
0:19:04 > 0:19:06- Not really my... - It's a wild card, isn't it?
0:19:06 > 0:19:08It's a wild card. That's exactly it.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10- I like a wild card.- We've got a wild card here, really.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Can you do 70? I'm willing to shake on that.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16- OK, sir. Fair enough. - Thank you.- Go on.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Shake the man's hand, then, Lindsay!
0:19:18 > 0:19:20We're overruling you on everything.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23There's nowt wrong with that. There's nowt wrong with that.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Sometimes it's nice to take a wild card.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28We're going to auction and all you need is somebody there
0:19:28 > 0:19:30who likes something a little bit different, a little bit wild,
0:19:30 > 0:19:32and it could go berserk.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34We'll be coming back here and buying the rest.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36- Exactly.- Well done, team. That's the second one in.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38I think the time's clocking on
0:19:38 > 0:19:40but at least we've got two items in the bag
0:19:40 > 0:19:43and we've only got one left to get, so very well done.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47Keep rolling, but it's good to see the Blues buying what they like.
0:19:47 > 0:19:5015 minutes left. Reds, will you be able to match them?
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- Ooh! Yes! - Is it still there?- Yes.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- Do you think that was meant to be, then?- Yeah.- Hi!
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Hello, we're back. You've got that smile.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- Not faded in ten!- Last time we spoke, you said a tenner.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07- Didn't he? Didn't he say a tenner? - You're pushing your luck!
0:20:07 > 0:20:08£20 is my best.
0:20:08 > 0:20:13How about 19, just to give us a £1, hopefully, if we could?
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- 18.- 18, brilliant!
0:20:16 > 0:20:18- Yeah!- Well done.- Yay, thank you!
0:20:18 > 0:20:20You are a very, very, very nice man.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24- Thank you.- Thank you very much, thank you.- Lovely.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26We love that. We'd like that in our own home.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Let's hope that's a good sign.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Both teams have just one more item to find,
0:20:31 > 0:20:35and the Blues are looking at printing blocks, but where to start?
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- So much choice. - There is nowt wrong with choice.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41We like choice. We've got ten minutes left, guys, so...
0:20:41 > 0:20:43- We're going to make a run for it. - What are you thinking?
0:20:43 > 0:20:45- I think we should have a quick look around.- Yeah, a look round,
0:20:45 > 0:20:48because I'm not sure what letters we'd pick for this.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Have a bit of a mooch, see if anything else jumps out at us
0:20:51 > 0:20:53and, if need be, we might come back.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- Yes.- OK.- It will have to be more than an amble, Blues.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Time is ticking. Reds, what's next?
0:20:59 > 0:21:02So I think something kind of like interiors.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04We've not kind of covered that, really.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06You haven't got what you wanted, have you?
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- We haven't, but...- Do you like what you've bought, though?
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- Yes.- Yeah, yeah.- Absolutely.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15That's good. Let's hope you like your final item when you find it.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Blues, you have eight minutes left.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20- What do you reckon, Lindsay? - I think the ink stand.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23It's got a military connection, it's quite elegant,
0:21:23 > 0:21:25- it's quite interesting.- Where is it? Top of the road, isn't it?
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- Top of the road, round the corner. - We'd better start running.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30As the Blues pick up the pace,
0:21:30 > 0:21:32something's suddenly caught Sally's eye.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- I like the colour of that teapot. - Which teapot?- The blue.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37- The mauve with the gold top. - I knew you'd say that.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- Did you?- Jumps out at me a bit. - So, if you had a teapot at home...
0:21:40 > 0:21:43- Yes.- ..would that be your teapot? - No.- Oh.- Not for me.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Let's keep walking and just... I think it's really modern,
0:21:46 > 0:21:49- let's keep walking and see if there's something else.- OK.- OK.
0:21:49 > 0:21:50Walk fast, Reds!
0:21:50 > 0:21:52The stallholders are packing up.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Blues, what about the ink stand?
0:21:55 > 0:21:56Have you got the ink, military ink?
0:21:56 > 0:21:58- Is it this stand?- In here.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Am I allowed to look?
0:22:00 > 0:22:02- There it is.- There she is.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Military always sells.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07- Really?- Military always sells to military buyers!
0:22:07 > 0:22:09- And there's a lot. - And there's a lot!
0:22:09 > 0:22:11- What's the very best?- 78.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17- Would you go to 75? - No, I can't. 78. I like it.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20- 78 it is.- I don't think we've got time to argue, to be honest.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22- 78.- 78.- Thank you very much.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24We've done it, all three items bought.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Well done, brilliant.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28That could have ended up in disaster.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Well done, Blues, job done.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32What's the time on the clock, Catherine?
0:22:32 > 0:22:34- Four minutes. - Four minutes.- Four minutes.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37What do you think about the wine holder? Is that plated?
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Yes, it's completely silver-plated, but you like wine,
0:22:39 > 0:22:40- don't you?- I do like wine, yeah.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43But we probably wanted more solid silver, not plated.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45What's in the cabinet, what's in the cabinet?
0:22:45 > 0:22:46Anything interesting in there?
0:22:46 > 0:22:49We've got little cognac bottle wine labels.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51They are quite nice, the decanter tags.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55- If someone's got a set with a missing one of these... - What have you got on the port?- Yeah.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57The old Georgian port one's 35.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Right, OK. What's your best on that?
0:22:59 > 0:23:02- 35.- What do you think about the port one?
0:23:02 > 0:23:03They're worth more in the last ten years.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05There we are, quite simple,
0:23:05 > 0:23:07we've got Georgian head on the back there.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09- I would go for that. - Would you do 30?
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- Oh, go on!- Make our day.- It's our last item.- We'll have one minute.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15- OK, go on, OK. - Yay! OK! Sold.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19- Thanks, Mister.- Thank him. - Literally 30 seconds left.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21That's it, teams, time is up.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24You guys know how to cut it fine, don't you?!
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- Hey?- What are we going to do, eh? - What are we going to do?- Well done!
0:23:27 > 0:23:32- Well done.- We're going to sell it and win, darling.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40Sally and Chris spent half their cash, £150,
0:23:40 > 0:23:41on this blue glass scent bottle.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Next, Sally wanted silver,
0:23:45 > 0:23:50and struck a deal of £18 on this match striker and, to top it off,
0:23:50 > 0:23:54more silver. They bought this decanter label with the rare Dublin
0:23:54 > 0:23:56hallmark, £30 paid.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Well, guys, everything was going according to plan
0:23:59 > 0:24:01for the first two items,
0:24:01 > 0:24:04and then you kind of got a wee bit lost there, didn't you?
0:24:04 > 0:24:08- Yes.- A little bit, yeah.- Time. - Ah, but quality. You got quality.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Well, I'm glad that you think that as well.
0:24:10 > 0:24:11Catherine, what do you think?
0:24:11 > 0:24:13You loved that perfume bottle, didn't you?
0:24:13 > 0:24:15It's absolutely beautiful,
0:24:15 > 0:24:19and I think it's worth its money all day long, plus plus.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Oh, that's sounding really, really good.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Sally, what was your favourite item?
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Favourite item is the perfume bottle.
0:24:26 > 0:24:27Is it going to make the most profit?
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- No.- What's going to make the most profit?
0:24:30 > 0:24:32- The match striker.- All right.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Chris, what was your favourite item?
0:24:34 > 0:24:35- The match striker.- Yeah.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Is it going to make the most profit, though?
0:24:37 > 0:24:40I think we're going to make a few quid on that.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44- I think we'll do all right. - Well, you spent a wonderful £198.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45- Well done.- Fab.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Can I have 102, please?
0:24:48 > 0:24:50- 100...- And 2.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53And 2, which I will pass straight over to Catherine.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- Thank you.- Now, Catherine, these guys like quality.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59- Ooh.- Have you an idea of what you're going to buy with that?
0:24:59 > 0:25:03They do like quality. They like the best, Anita.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06So they are a special couple, I will buy them something special.
0:25:06 > 0:25:11- Ooh!- While Catherine goes off to look for something special,
0:25:11 > 0:25:15let's remind ourselves what the Blues bought.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19Lindsay liked the sentiment behind this Olympic commemorative plate,
0:25:19 > 0:25:21bought for £8.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24She and James are hoping to be in the picture with these slides,
0:25:24 > 0:25:27snapped up for £70.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31And finally, will their Royal Artillery standish romp home?
0:25:32 > 0:25:36Well, guys, that was harder than you thought,
0:25:36 > 0:25:40and you literally had to gallop to get that last item.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43- The very last minute. - It made it very exciting.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46It did. We said that it'd be good fun, so it was good fun.
0:25:46 > 0:25:47James, what was your favourite item?
0:25:47 > 0:25:50My favourite item would be the lantern glasses.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53I think, being from Australia, they add some personal value.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56- Will they make the most profit, though?- I don't think so, no.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58I think the most profit will probably be the plate
0:25:58 > 0:26:01from the very start. It was good value, nice quality.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03- And a good buy.- And a good buy.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05What about you? What's your favourite item?
0:26:05 > 0:26:07I think the Wedgwood plate.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09I think the slogan about "it's the not winning,
0:26:09 > 0:26:11"it's the taking part" that counts...
0:26:11 > 0:26:14- Ahhh!- ..is probably quite apt for Bargain Hunt today.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17You think that's the one that's going to make you the most profit?
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Yeah, I think, probably.
0:26:19 > 0:26:20It was a good-value item, so...
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Didn't pay a lot for it.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- Mmm.- Yeah, well done. You spent £156.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29That's not too bad. Can I have 144?
0:26:29 > 0:26:32- She's the boss. - 144, Danny.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34- Thank you, Anita. - That's not a bad amount.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37- Good amount of cash, that.- Yeah. Do you know what you're going to buy?
0:26:37 > 0:26:39I've seen something. It's quite weighty.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42So I just hope I can carry it if I can get to buy it.
0:26:42 > 0:26:43Sounds interesting.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47While Danny goes off to buy his bonus buy, we're off to the auction.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Today, we are in London Auctions in Chiswick
0:27:02 > 0:27:05with auctioneer Mark Longson.
0:27:05 > 0:27:06Mark, it's lovely to be here.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09- Lovely to have you here. - Now, Reds first.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11This little antique scent bottle.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Now, do you like it?
0:27:13 > 0:27:17It's got some age to it, it's got quirkiness, as well,
0:27:17 > 0:27:19the shagreen case looks good.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21- Yeah.- £40 to £60.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Well, Sally paid £150 for it.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26I think that might be a little bit too much.
0:27:26 > 0:27:27But we'll try our best.
0:27:27 > 0:27:32The second item is the little 1920s match holder.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Now, this was Chris' favourite,
0:27:35 > 0:27:39and they both think that this one will make the most profit.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41- What do you think, Mark? - Well, we've gone for 30 to 50.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Could be still used as a desk weight, of course.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46- Depends upon how much they paid. - Well, they only paid 18...
0:27:46 > 0:27:50- Good, good.- You're between 30 and 50, they'll make a profit.
0:27:50 > 0:27:55- Yes.- Moving onto their third item, this 19th-century silver wine label.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59Irish silver, that's going to make a difference, isn't it?
0:27:59 > 0:28:02I think 80 to 120 on this.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05As you say, being a Dublin, it is going to be sought after.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Well, they only paid £30...
0:28:07 > 0:28:11- Good eye.- So they could make a substantial profit on that one.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15- Let's hope so.- It may eliminate the losses that they could make
0:28:15 > 0:28:18- on the little scent bottle. - Well, we'll have to try.- Yeah.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21It's touch and go whether they will need their bonus buy,
0:28:21 > 0:28:22so let's go and have a look at it.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28Sally, Chris, you spent £198, well done.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31You gave Catherine 102.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Catherine, what did you buy?
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Loved the colours of this, and I hope you do, too.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Oh, she doesn't.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42- Not a fan?- Well, it's not my cup of tea, but tell us about it.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44- What are we looking at? - Let me tell you about it.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46OK, so this is Medina glass.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49- Have you heard of Medina glass? - Yes.- Medina glass.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52So this has come from Malta, from the Maltese town of Medina.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55They were making glass from the '60s. They are massively successful.
0:28:55 > 0:28:59- Right, good.- Still making good-quality glass today.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01And this is known as earth tones.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03- Right, OK.- You can see why. - Can I hold it?
0:29:03 > 0:29:06- You can hold it, hold it and love it.- What did you pay for it?
0:29:06 > 0:29:08- You'll be happy when I tell you. - Will I?- Yeah, you will.
0:29:08 > 0:29:12- I only paid £15 for it.- 15? - Oh, that's good.- That's good.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14- That's given us... - THEY TALK OVER EACH OTHER
0:29:14 > 0:29:16It's not the colour that I would go for,
0:29:16 > 0:29:20because I know that they do really bright colours of blown glass.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22- They do. Really vibrant.- But £15!
0:29:22 > 0:29:25Yeah, actually, for that alone, I quite like it.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27Ask Catherine how much she thinks it will make.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29Good question. How much do you think it will make?
0:29:29 > 0:29:32We've got a chance with this. We've got a chance.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35- I'd like to see it double its money and go to 30.- OK, yeah.
0:29:35 > 0:29:36Is that not good enough, Sally?
0:29:37 > 0:29:42I'm just apprehensive if it will double its money, but, yeah.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44So, Catherine, they're not keen on it.
0:29:44 > 0:29:49- No.- Not sure.- But they're very keen on the price that you paid.- Yes!
0:29:49 > 0:29:51You don't need to make up your mind just now, guys.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54Wait until your other three items have been sold.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58But, in the meantime, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks of
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Catherine's Medina vase.
0:30:02 > 0:30:09Now, Catherine bought this Medina vase, 20th century, 1960s.
0:30:09 > 0:30:10That's sort of hot just now.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13Will your punters like that vase?
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Colours aren't that vibrant, though, are they?
0:30:15 > 0:30:17What's your estimate on this?
0:30:17 > 0:30:18Well, we've gone 40 to 60.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20Well, there may be a profit on that,
0:30:20 > 0:30:22because Catherine's only paid £15 for it.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26- Good, yes. We've got a chance. - Good. That's it for the Reds.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Now onto the Blues. Now, their first item was this
0:30:29 > 0:30:32Wedgwood Olympics commemorative plate
0:30:32 > 0:30:35for the Munich Olympics in 1972.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39They both think that it will make the most profit,
0:30:39 > 0:30:42and it was Lindsay's favourite item.
0:30:42 > 0:30:43What do you think about it?
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Commemorative wares are on the up.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48The Olympics, good subject to pick as well.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50What's your estimate on the slate?
0:30:50 > 0:30:52We've looked at 15 to 30.
0:30:52 > 0:30:57Well, they only paid £8 on that, so there is a chance of a profit there.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01I think so, yes. It's got its box and papers with it, so every chance.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05Yeah, excellent. Second item is this collection of
0:31:05 > 0:31:08early 20th century photographic slides.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11Is this type of thing popular in this area?
0:31:11 > 0:31:14I think it really depends upon the topic of the slides.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17Well, these ones are Australia and New Zealand
0:31:17 > 0:31:20and we're just down the road from Earls Court,
0:31:20 > 0:31:24and that's where most of the Australians and New Zealanders
0:31:24 > 0:31:27are based when they live in London.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30- Well, let's hope for a g'day, sport, then!- What's your estimate?
0:31:30 > 0:31:33- For this, 60 to 90. - They paid 70.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36- There's a chance of a profit. - We're in the right area.- Excellent.
0:31:36 > 0:31:41Their third item is this early 20th century Royal Horse Artillery
0:31:41 > 0:31:44standish. What do you think of it?
0:31:44 > 0:31:46Well, people like to buy into military history.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49It is a case of who made it, where were they,
0:31:49 > 0:31:51what did they do during the war?
0:31:51 > 0:31:53- That's what's really interesting to people.- Yeah.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56- What's your estimate? - £50 to £80 in our books.
0:31:56 > 0:32:0150 to 80. They paid £78, so they are not too far away on that one.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04We're both singing from the same hymn sheet there, aren't we?
0:32:04 > 0:32:09- A profit is possible.- Yes.- So they may or may not need their bonus buy,
0:32:09 > 0:32:11but we're going to go and have a look at it anyway.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17Lindsay, James, you spent £156.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20You gave Danny 144.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Danny, what did you buy?
0:32:23 > 0:32:26What on earth is that?
0:32:26 > 0:32:27"What on earth is that?"
0:32:27 > 0:32:30That is a 19th-century bronze.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33It's modelled on a scholar riding a stag.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36It's an incense burner. The little man comes off.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38- That's cool.- You put your incense in
0:32:38 > 0:32:41and the smoke comes out of his mouth.
0:32:41 > 0:32:42Bronzes are very desirable.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45- Can I just have a look at it, please?- Get in there.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48- It's quite nice and heavy. - How much did you pay for it?
0:32:48 > 0:32:49I paid £74.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Ooh. That seems expensive.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55Well, I mean, is it? It's 19th century, very collectable.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57So what do you reckon it will get at auction?
0:32:57 > 0:33:02I'd like to think that could make £100 to £150 quite easily.
0:33:02 > 0:33:06Lindsay, you're a bit quiet, a bit underwhelmed.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08What do you think of it?
0:33:08 > 0:33:11It's not my taste. I think it's vaguely unsettling-looking.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15I imagine, with the incense, it would look even more so.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18Right, so you're just not sure. James, what about you?
0:33:18 > 0:33:20At first, I didn't like it, but it has grown on me.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22Maybe it's because you are holding it,
0:33:22 > 0:33:26because it does have a tactile quality.
0:33:26 > 0:33:27Lindsay, have a wee hold.
0:33:30 > 0:33:31You're not persuaded.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33- No, still no!- You're not persuaded.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35Well, I don't want you two to fall out.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37You don't need to make up your mind just now.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41Wait until your other three items have been sold.
0:33:41 > 0:33:42But, in the meantime,
0:33:42 > 0:33:46let's find out what the auctioneer thinks of Danny's Oriental bronze.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52Danny's bonus buy is this Chinese bronze, Mark.
0:33:52 > 0:33:53What do you think about it?
0:33:53 > 0:33:55I think he might be lacking something there.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58Doesn't look as though it stands quite right.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00He also looks as though he needs a staff
0:34:00 > 0:34:03or something along those lines as well.
0:34:03 > 0:34:08- But we've gone for £60 to £90 as our estimate.- Danny paid 74,
0:34:08 > 0:34:11so it's not beyond the realms of possibility
0:34:11 > 0:34:13that he'll make a profit on that.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15No, the Chinese market's good, and it's bronze.
0:34:15 > 0:34:16- Yeah.- We stand a chance.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Terrific. Are you on the rostrum today?
0:34:19 > 0:34:21- Yes, I am for you.- Wonderful!
0:34:25 > 0:34:26£70.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30Sally, Chris, auction day.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32- How are you feeling?- Excited.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34- Nervous.- Are you nervous?
0:34:34 > 0:34:37Is there anything you're a wee bit worried about?
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Ah, perfume bottle, maybe.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42Only because of the amount that we paid for it.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45We'll find out just in a second if it was worthwhile
0:34:45 > 0:34:48- because it's coming up now.- Oh!
0:34:48 > 0:34:50This is a little scent bottle. Shagreen case.
0:34:50 > 0:34:55We've got cross bids online, multiple bids, and it is £280.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57- What?- I told you!
0:34:57 > 0:34:59£280.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02- He's got a phone bid, I think. - £280.- Oh, I'm shaking.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05I told you, it's a good thing.
0:35:05 > 0:35:06£280.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08We're going to the battle online, then.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12£280!
0:35:12 > 0:35:19£130 profit on your first item!
0:35:19 > 0:35:21- Congratulations.- Aww!
0:35:21 > 0:35:25Your second item is the match striker, coming up now.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27The match striker.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29London, 1922, silver rim.
0:35:29 > 0:35:3130 the bid. Five the bid.
0:35:31 > 0:35:3435. 40 the bid on the match striker.
0:35:34 > 0:35:38I'll still take another fiver, but £40 I'm selling online.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41The book is up, the room's not in at 4 and 0 and finishing.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44£40!
0:35:44 > 0:35:46That's plus 22.
0:35:46 > 0:35:50You're £152 in profit!
0:35:50 > 0:35:57Third item is the piece of provincial silver, Dublin silver.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59You only paid £30 for that.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02- Good item again.- £50, then.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05- That's fine, 50 we'd happy with. - 50 the bid. 50 the bid.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07- 50 bid! - I will take fivers.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10£50. Well, I saw this as a lot more, myself.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13- But £50.- Asking once. Twice and get ready.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16- Here we go.- £50.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19- It doesn't matter, let's not be greedy.- That's good.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23That's another £20 profit.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26That takes your running total
0:36:26 > 0:36:28to +172.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30I can't believe that!
0:36:30 > 0:36:33Now, you have to make up your mind.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37Are you going to take Catherine's bonus buy?
0:36:37 > 0:36:40It's the Medina vase. She paid £15 for it.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43- I think we go for it. - OK.- I don't know.- You're right.
0:36:43 > 0:36:48- I'll blame on you. Let's go for it. - Are you absolutely sure?
0:36:48 > 0:36:52- All the onus is on you now, Chris. - Yeah!

0:37:28 > 0:37:30I'm looking for another fiver in here...
0:37:37 > 0:37:40Lindsay, James, auction day, how are you feeling?
0:37:40 > 0:37:41- Very exciting.- Are you?
0:37:41 > 0:37:43- Very exciting. - I'm a little bit nervous.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45Oh, right. Are you regretting any of your items?
0:37:45 > 0:37:48Are you a wee bit worried about any of them?
0:37:48 > 0:37:52Umm, I'm not sure we're going to make great money on any of them,
0:37:52 > 0:37:55but I'm proud that we chose nice things. Nice, interesting things.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58- You fell in love with the items you bought.- Yeah.
0:37:58 > 0:38:02Well, your first item is the Wedgwood Olympic plate.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05A wonderful collectable. You didn't pay a lot of money for it.
0:38:05 > 0:38:10Good luck on this one, because the plate is coming up right now.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13A limited edition Olympics commemorative wares,
0:38:13 > 0:38:14box and papers to go with that.

0:38:24 > 0:38:26£10. 15s I want elsewhere.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28- Give him 12. - I'll give you 12.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30I don't think it's made that difference, though.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33- Sadly not.- You tried, Danny.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35- The hammer will drop.- £10.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38Well, you're into profit on your first item.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Well done. That's £2.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43Not a lot, but it's a profit.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45- Yes.- It is.- Next item, it was your favourite one, James,
0:38:45 > 0:38:48it was that marvellous collection of
0:38:48 > 0:38:5219th- and early 20th-century photographic slides.
0:38:52 > 0:38:53It's coming up now.
0:38:53 > 0:38:54Photograph slides,
0:38:54 > 0:38:56a bit of Antipodean interest in this, Australia,
0:38:56 > 0:38:58New Zealand. Who'll start me away?
0:38:58 > 0:39:00£60. 60.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02£30, then. £30.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04- On the New Zealand... - Oh, come on!
0:39:04 > 0:39:06£30.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08Very quiet in front.
0:39:08 > 0:39:09Nothing heard at home either.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12- No.- I thought these would create some interest, but no.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15£20. 20 the bid.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17- Only 20.- Oh, no!
0:39:17 > 0:39:19No? Surely any more.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21Ready to go, then. 2 and 0.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Oh, guys.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25I think you were very unlucky there.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28They were worth more than that, Danny, what do you think?
0:39:28 > 0:39:30I think it's worth a lot more than that.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32We were just slightly unlucky, I think.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35Well, that was -£50 on that one,
0:39:35 > 0:39:40which makes your running total at this point -48.
0:39:41 > 0:39:45Third item coming up is the Royal Horse Artillery standish.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47A bit of military interest here. This is the standish.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49Royal Horse Artillery.
0:39:49 > 0:39:50Some good age amongst that.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52£30.
0:39:52 > 0:39:53£30. 30.
0:39:53 > 0:39:5530 the bid. 30 the bid.
0:39:55 > 0:39:56And 5. And 40.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58- It is going up now, 40. - And 5.
0:39:58 > 0:39:59- 45. - 45.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01£50 on the Royal Horse Artillery.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04- We've got 50, a little bit more. - 50. A bit more.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07The brass and copperware is in there. At 50 for the first.
0:40:07 > 0:40:0950 for the second. Last time, then.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11- That's a shame.- £50.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14Another few bids and we would have been there,
0:40:14 > 0:40:17but it's -28 on that one,
0:40:17 > 0:40:21Which makes your overall total £76.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23Are you going to take the bonus buy?
0:40:23 > 0:40:25I think we have to. Let's go for it.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27- Are you both in agreement? - Yeah, I think so.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29I think we've not done a very good job of picking,
0:40:29 > 0:40:32- so it's over to Danny. - It's over to you now, Danny.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35- Fingers crossed.- And we're going to find out right now.
0:40:35 > 0:40:36Chinese incense burner.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38This is this scholar on the stag.
0:40:38 > 0:40:4060, I'm asking.
0:40:40 > 0:40:41And 60 we're bid.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43- 60 bid. - £60.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45Straight in at 6-0.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48At 60. I'm looking for little £5 notes again.
0:40:48 > 0:40:49But 60 will buy it.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51Maiden bid takes it.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53Ready or not, room is out.
0:40:53 > 0:40:54Oh!
0:40:54 > 0:40:56£60.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58Oh, hard luck, Danny.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00That's -14.
0:41:00 > 0:41:04That takes your overall score to -90.
0:41:04 > 0:41:09It sounds a lot, but it could be a winning score.
0:41:09 > 0:41:13Promise me something - you won't say a word to the Reds.
0:41:13 > 0:41:14- Not a word.- We won't.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27Well, guys, that was a tremendous competition
0:41:27 > 0:41:30and you were wonderful sports, both of you.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32On Bargain Hunt, we have to have winners
0:41:32 > 0:41:34and we have to have runners-up,
0:41:34 > 0:41:37and today's runners-up are...
0:41:37 > 0:41:38...the Blues.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41You ended up with -£90.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44Now, that's not a lot if you say it very quickly.
0:41:44 > 0:41:45ALL LAUGH
0:41:45 > 0:41:48The Reds, on the other hand,
0:41:48 > 0:41:51on your first item, the little scent bottle,
0:41:51 > 0:41:57you made £130 on that and it was really all uphill from there
0:41:57 > 0:42:01because there were profits on your next two items
0:42:01 > 0:42:05and a further profit on Catherine's Medina vase,
0:42:05 > 0:42:07which you didn't even like,
0:42:07 > 0:42:12but smart enough to recognise that she had got at a good price,
0:42:12 > 0:42:14so congratulations.
0:42:14 > 0:42:21And in the end, your profit was £182!
0:42:21 > 0:42:23- Well done.- Wow!
0:42:23 > 0:42:28That is a magnificent profit, which I will pass over to you.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31Not only have you won all that money,
0:42:31 > 0:42:35but because you made profits on all three items,
0:42:35 > 0:42:39I have to award you the Golden Gavel.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41One to you.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43- Thank you.- And one to you.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46- Thank you.- Wear them with pride.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48- We will.- We will, thank you. - Congratulations.
0:42:48 > 0:42:49Has everyone had a good time?
0:42:49 > 0:42:51- Yes.- Yes.- Excellent, excellent.
