0:00:02 > 0:00:06Today, we're in the grounds of Kedleston Hall in Derbyshire,
0:00:06 > 0:00:09home to aristocrats for hundreds of years.
0:00:09 > 0:00:13More recently a backdrop for Hollywood films.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16But today, we have our very own drama.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19So, lights, camera, action...
0:00:19 > 0:00:21Oh! Let's go bargain hunting.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Don't put the kettle on just yet, everyone.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51We have a Bargain Hunt first coming up and I guarantee you won't want to
0:00:51 > 0:00:52miss it.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Let's have a look at the drama that's about to unfold.
0:00:56 > 0:00:57The Blues pop the question...
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Would you do me the pleasure of marrying me?
0:01:03 > 0:01:05..and the Reds struggle for answers.
0:01:05 > 0:01:06What do three lines make?
0:01:06 > 0:01:08- The England flag.- A triangle.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09Three lines, not lions!
0:01:11 > 0:01:14At auction, the Blues have one word on their minds.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16- Is that a yes? Yes!- Yes!- Fine.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20But will the Reds also have cause to celebrate?
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- 35, 38, 40.- Yes. Get on!
0:01:23 > 0:01:26But that's all coming up later. First, we must meet our teams.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29And today, we've got two sets of happy couples.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33For the Reds, Caroline and Dudley, and for the Blues, Alison and Tony.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35- Welcome, everyone, hello. ALL:- Hello.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Nice to meet you all.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Caroline, tell me, how did you and Dudley first meet?
0:01:40 > 0:01:44Well, I worked for a theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon
0:01:44 > 0:01:47and live in a cottage outside. And I have a spare room.
0:01:47 > 0:01:52And a gentleman via social media was looking for somewhere to stay when
0:01:52 > 0:01:54he was visiting the area from the Isle of Wight.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56And that's how we met.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- And the rest is history.- Dud moved to Stratford-upon-Avon and we got
0:01:59 > 0:02:00married three years ago.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01That's so lovely.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Now the two of you are semi-retired.
0:02:04 > 0:02:05Do you still keep yourselves very busy?
0:02:05 > 0:02:11We do. We've got a small post office with a little shop in a beautiful
0:02:11 > 0:02:14village on a country estate, with tea gardens,
0:02:14 > 0:02:18and we run that casually, when the sun is shining.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22And then I also work at the theatre in the evenings when I'm needed.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25So, Dudley, when you do get some spare time in this semi-retirement,
0:02:25 > 0:02:26how do you spend it?
0:02:26 > 0:02:32I play the drums in two bands, so one is a rock and pop '60s retro band,
0:02:32 > 0:02:36and the other one is a jazz quartet, which is really good fun,
0:02:36 > 0:02:41plus my other hobby is metal detecting or treasure hunting, if you like.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Best find's got to be a hoard of Bronze Age axe heads.
0:02:44 > 0:02:45Wow. OK.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49And it's not just ancient relics that you're into.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Antiques in general, I believe.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Yes, I did own an antique shop about 30 years ago now.
0:02:54 > 0:03:00So I know probably a little about a lot.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02What are your tactics going to be today?
0:03:02 > 0:03:06Well, I listen to Dud, then possibly ignore him!
0:03:06 > 0:03:11But it's got to be beautiful and it's got to be special.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Well, Reds, I wish you the best of luck.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Let's turn now to the Blues.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Tell me, Alison, how did you meet Tony?
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Well, we both work with the police.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23I work in the occupational health unit as an admin assistant,
0:03:23 > 0:03:25looking after police officers and police staff.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Tony is also in the police and he's a specialist dog handler.
0:03:28 > 0:03:33And I went out on attachment with Tony to see how the dogs work and
0:03:33 > 0:03:36what the officers actually do, so that was where we first met.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37That was about eight years ago.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39We've been together about two years now.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43- So not quite love at first sight. - Oh, no. Not for me, no.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45I fancied the dogs more than him!
0:03:46 > 0:03:48So you've been together a couple of years.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- Have you ever thought of tying the knot, or...?- Oh, I have, yeah.
0:03:51 > 0:03:52- You have?- Oh, definitely, yeah.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Tony, for goodness' sake, pull your finger out.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59So you work for the police. A bit of a serious job.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03But I believe in your spare time it's all about pranks,
0:04:03 > 0:04:04especially on this guy?
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Oh, yeah. Whenever we go out shopping or anything like that,
0:04:08 > 0:04:09I'll pile him full of shoes, bags, clothes,
0:04:09 > 0:04:12we'll get near to the exit and I'll shout, "Run!"
0:04:13 > 0:04:15So everybody thinks he's stolen everything.
0:04:15 > 0:04:16That's terrible.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Now, Tony, tell me about your job in the police as a dog handler.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22I've been a police officer for over 20 years.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24I've been a dog handler for now coming up to eight years.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28And I have sort of specialist search dogs, we search for drugs,
0:04:28 > 0:04:30cash and firearms.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33I have two Labradors and a German shepherd who's retired,
0:04:33 > 0:04:36but he was my first partner. They're part of my life.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39I go to work every day with them. So they live with us.
0:04:39 > 0:04:40It's not just a job, really.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- It's a way of life.- Tell me more about your spare time.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46I used to be a very keen sportsman, a rugby, football player.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50But I now, to keep the wine off, I do a little bit of sprint triathlon.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53I try and do a couple of triathlons a year. I'm a big football fan.
0:04:53 > 0:04:58I coached a boys' team for several years with both my sons involved.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00So, today, you've got to work together.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Any tactics?
0:05:02 > 0:05:03Definitely, yeah.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05I'm quite a bubbly, cheeky people person.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08So I'm sure I'll drive a hard bargain.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10I think we complement each other quite well.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13We have a team name of Hair and Beauty.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15I have the hair, Alison has the beauty.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17So I think we'll get on very well.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Fantastic. Well, I wish you the best of luck.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22But to go shopping, you need money.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25So I'm going to give each of you £300.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26Caroline, for the Reds.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Alison, for the Blues, £300.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32You've got eager experts awaiting, so, off you go.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- And very good luck.- Thank you.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36With just one hour to find those bargains,
0:05:36 > 0:05:38will it be shopping heaven or shopping hell?
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Expertly taking them in hand today are two antiques connoisseurs.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Hoping there'll be plenty to celebrate for the Reds is John Cameron.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50And batting for the Blues, it's Tim Weeks.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- We're here at the fair.- What are we going to be looking for today?
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Toys, I think. Collectors' items.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57- Yeah?- I'm thinking quirky,
0:05:57 > 0:06:00I'm thinking something that's different but jumps out at us.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Maybe small silver bits, like vesta cases, that type of thing.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- Sounds interesting.- I like jewellery.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Anything sparkly.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11Well, Alison might get a bit more sparkle than she bargained for.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14But first, your 60 minutes start now.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15GONG STRIKES
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- Let's go and spend some of this money.- Let's go! Come on, Blues.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20They're on the clock and the Blues are already
0:06:20 > 0:06:22searching for something that stands out.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24- So you like signs?- You know, like, the enamel signs?- Yeah.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Something like that. They're quite nice with a bit of wear on them.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30And what we look for if we see an enamel sign, turn it around.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- OK.- Sometimes they might have been on a building,
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- they can be double sided. They're worth more money.- Great tip, Tim.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Meanwhile, the Reds have shot off and found something that might fit
0:06:38 > 0:06:39the bill.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41I wanted to buy a toy.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42And just look at this.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46- It's complete with the ducks, scores on it.- Yeah.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- This is the ammunition.- Projectiles, yeah.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Yeah. And a lovely, lovely gun.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55All important, is the spring mechanism still working?
0:06:55 > 0:06:59I love that little pitting on there. That does authenticate its age.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00I'll just cock that back slowly.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02- That's clicked. OK?- Yeah.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03And then...
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Yeah, that works.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07What do you think of that?
0:07:07 > 0:07:09- I rather like that.- Do you?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12I do, because I think that's different.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- I've never seen one.- What do you like about it, Dudley?
0:07:15 > 0:07:19I just like, cos it's very original and it's in its own case and it all
0:07:19 > 0:07:20seems to be complete.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23It looks 1960s to me, I would've thought.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- Something like that.- Can you tell us your best on this, please?
0:07:27 > 0:07:29It's got 38 quid.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31I've got 38, yeah. 30?
0:07:32 > 0:07:34It's a rarity.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36- It is a rarity.- It's a rarity.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38I was really thinking £25.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43- 28.- 28? 27?
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- Shake my hand?- 27.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48I don't even have to get involved.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Whoa, the Reds are off the mark.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53An early purchase within four minutes.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- Next one.- Now, what about the Blues?
0:07:57 > 0:07:59What about something like this, Tim, here?
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Yeah, I like that. It stands out, doesn't it?
0:08:01 > 0:08:03- It's what you wanted.- Nice colour.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06It's got wear on it. The key thing is that industrial look.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- Yeah.- People want that. You can see that in a fashionable apartment,
0:08:09 > 0:08:11a fashionable townhouse, perhaps.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Young people are really coming into the market and picking things up
0:08:14 > 0:08:15like this. I like it.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17I like that it's got drawers.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20- It's functional, isn't it?- It's got good wear and it's well used.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22It's definitely a workbench or something.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25You could actually make something for your kitchen out of that.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- That's what I think.- Yes.- That's the great thing about antiques.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30It's the best form of recycling.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32- Yeah.- I like it.- Yeah, I like it.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33We've also got a second one, here.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Can you tell me how much this is, please?
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- 450 on that one.- OK.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43We're going to struggle there, aren't we, on our budget?
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- Yes, we are.- Definitely.- 450, that one.- 250, that one.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48What's the best you can do on that one?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- 150.- This one's got shelves, which is nice.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53That would actually be more functional for a kitchen.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56This is definitely the items of the future.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- Yeah.- 150 isn't a bad price, it gives us a chance.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Would you do 130 and we'll take it?
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- And we'll give you a smile.- 130?
0:09:03 > 0:09:05A smile, brilliant.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- Shake on it.- Shake the man's hand. - Thank you, brilliant.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11- Give him a smile.- It's a pleasure. - Here comes your smile.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12It was worth it.
0:09:12 > 0:09:18Smiles all round as the Blues lock in their first buy inside eight minutes.
0:09:19 > 0:09:20Both teams are on a par.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23The Reds also have upcycling on their minds.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25These lovely old wooden rudders.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28This is what people are doing, turning them into other things now,
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- aren't they?- I know.- What are the rudders?- 80.- 80 quid on there.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33- How much for the anchor?- I've got 65.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35What do you think about the anchor, John?
0:09:35 > 0:09:37I do like anchors. I'm from Portsmouth.
0:09:37 > 0:09:38How about as a pair? £100 the pair.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Somebody would buy that and they'd paint it up.
0:09:41 > 0:09:42- Yes.- Yes, they would.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Put three legs on it and make it into a table.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47- Yeah.- A coffee table.- Right. Let's have a walk up.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- We've still got a little bit of time and we'll come back.- Yeah.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- Cheers. Thank you. Oh!- There's all sorts of things you can do.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55You don't sell new knees, do you?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57I can't see any here, John.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01Over with the Blues, and Tim is keen to stick to the industrial scene.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04I want to show you a couple of Anglepoise lamps here.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- Yeah.- Just for the reason that they're selling very well in
0:10:07 > 0:10:11auction rooms at the moment. Just £10 on this one, which is no money.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14I prefer this one, this is much more authentic of the era, '60s,
0:10:14 > 0:10:16'70s Anglepoise.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19It's a similar style to the industrial cabinet.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23You can imagine it almost on top of that cabinet, if you see what I mean.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26I just wondered if it took your fancy a little bit.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28- You like lamps like that. - I like lamps like that.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32- Do you like it?- Mmmm. - Not so keen?- Not so keen.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34I think that's a definite no from Alison.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Meanwhile, the Reds have a spring in their step.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38What have you spotted there, Dudley?
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- Quite like them.- Ah!- What have we got here?
0:10:41 > 0:10:42Let's have a look at these.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48At first when I saw these, I thought they were possibly part of a clock, garniture.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50They would sit either side but they've got them described
0:10:50 > 0:10:53as French deco bookends.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56I think it makes them quite nice, I actually like them as bookends.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58They're marble. These are period pieces.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00These would be from the '30s.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02- They're quirky.- Do you know what?
0:11:02 > 0:11:06For me, the actual modelling of them echoes Art Deco.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09When you think about Art Deco, the period,
0:11:09 > 0:11:11it's absorbing all these influences from around the world.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14What had changed at that point? Air travel.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18So people are starting to sort of explore South America,
0:11:18 > 0:11:23exotic animals, we start to see skins used in furniture again.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26For me, the fact that you've got these leaping antelopes is
0:11:26 > 0:11:30perfectly Deco. So we've got £38 on them.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- OK.- Do you think we can do any better than that?- Yes.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35- I'm sure we can.- Let's have a go. - You hold that.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37- Let me go and see the stallholder. - See if you can find him.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- Let's see what we can do. All right?- OK.
0:11:40 > 0:11:45They're onyx, they're heavy, they're quirky and they're useful.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48So, then, John, what's the best price?
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Right, guys. Had a word with the stallholder.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54And £38, he can do them at 30 quid.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58- OK. That's fine.- I think that's actually a fair price.
0:11:58 > 0:11:59- That's a good deal.- £30?
0:11:59 > 0:12:01- I like it.- Sold to that man there.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03- I think there's some good profit there.- OK.
0:12:03 > 0:12:0720 minutes in and the Reds have leapt ahead with their second buy.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- The clock's still ticking, two down but one to go.- OK, right.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Now, Blues, what's the plan?
0:12:12 > 0:12:15We are one item down, so we've got a bit of work to do.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17We're going to have to get a bit of a move on.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Yes, keep them focused, Tim.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21- I like those.- OK.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Are you more into football or rugby?
0:12:23 > 0:12:26- I like football.- Who do you support? - I like rugby.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29- Chelsea.- Chelsea. Didn't know they had a team.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Only the Premier League champions.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36- OK. So why are you attracted to them?- I just like the age of it.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- What is the age?- Probably 1960s.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41OK, I think it might be a little bit earlier.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43- OK.- Maybe a little bit earlier.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47Maybe sneaks into the '50s, a ball like that, with the laces, look.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49I think my grandad would've been heading this.
0:12:49 > 0:12:50It's just a nice display thing.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53That's exactly what it is, you don't fancy a kickabout with that, do you?
0:12:53 > 0:12:58- No. A little bit of nostalgia, somebody wants a threaded ball.- Yes.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Early footballs were made of inflated pigs' bladders.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05Later, panels of leather held in place by laces were added to
0:13:05 > 0:13:07- strengthen them.- There's a few cracks to the leather.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11I guess it's going to be expected. The bladder feels like it's intact.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14If it's popped, quite often you can hear it when you shake it.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Shall we ask what the price of each of the balls are?
0:13:16 > 0:13:19It looks like it's been repaired as well, doesn't it, there?
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- Great spot.- So it's got a bit of damage on it, but...- Bit of damage.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Why don't you find out how much they are? Because then we know if we're
0:13:25 > 0:13:28in play or not. Why don't you go and speak with the gent?
0:13:28 > 0:13:30How much is this, please?
0:13:30 > 0:13:31£35 each on them.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33OK. What do you think, Tim?
0:13:33 > 0:13:37We're in Derbyshire. Football or rugby in Derbyshire?
0:13:37 > 0:13:38- It's football, isn't it?- Absolutely.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40So I would focus towards football,
0:13:40 > 0:13:42if we're going to be selling in Derbyshire.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- You like the football anyway. - 35 is a bit much, though.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- 20?- I'd do 25. I think that's a fair price.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- I think he's helping you out there. - OK.- I'm happy with that.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- Happy?- Yes.- Shake the man's hand? - Yeah.- Happy days.- Nice one.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- Thank you very much.- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00So, 24 minutes in, both teams are level.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02- I love it.- I like it.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Two buys down, that's really good.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Over with the Reds, John's enjoying some attention.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Get that dog off this man, I need him.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Yes, come on, back to work.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Meanwhile, Alison's browsing.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18Luckily, she's unaware that Tony is hatching a plan
0:14:18 > 0:14:20to propose and Tim's in on it.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21I love it. What do you want me to do?
0:14:21 > 0:14:23If I give you the ring. Yes.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25The ring's engraved in Alison's name inside.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29- Wow.- If you can place it onto a stall, a suitable stall.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- Yes.- Then once I see it, I'll do the rest.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34No problem. Has she got any idea you're doing this?
0:14:34 > 0:14:37She's got no idea whatsoever. It's a complete surprise.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Good luck. I think we're going to have to go and find Alison or she's
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- going to start to get suspicious what we're talking about.- Yeah.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44- Shall we go find her?- Let's go find her.- Let's go.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48So, let me get this right. Tim is going to plant the ring engraved
0:14:48 > 0:14:52with Alison's name on a stall inside and Tony will do the rest.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55- How exciting.- There's a lot more shiny items in here, isn't there?
0:14:55 > 0:14:57- Yeah.- Are the eyes lighting up? - Yes, they are. Yeah.
0:14:57 > 0:15:02While Tony distracts Alison, Tim completes his side of the deal.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06The scene is now set, but before the big moment,
0:15:06 > 0:15:07let's see what the Reds are up to.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12- Nice clock.- Deco-ish again.- Art Deco again.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14It's Red Riding Hood with the wolf, there.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18- She's got a gold hood on there, not a red one.- No red about it.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21- Does it work?- Yes, it does.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24- It does work?- Yes, it does work. It has been serviced recently.- Oh!
0:15:24 > 0:15:27It's got the right movement, it's made in France,
0:15:27 > 0:15:28this is not a reproduction.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30The gilding looks pretty good.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32The best price is £40.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35You can't do anything on 40? Less than 40?
0:15:35 > 0:15:37- 35.- 35.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40We'll just have a little look up there and if we can't find anything,
0:15:40 > 0:15:42we'll definitely be back.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44So, one for the back burner.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48Now over to the Blues and the build-up to that big moment.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52- I think Alison is looking for some jewellery or something.- Sure.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56It all seems to be going to plan. Your turn now, Tim.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58What about that, any good?
0:16:01 > 0:16:02I like that, that's nice.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05That is nice and that is shiny and sparkly.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Yes, it's lovely. So... What do you think to that?
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Has it got a hallmark on it?
0:16:13 > 0:16:16You have to have a look. I can give you a helping hand with that.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18- Let's see what it's got.- See if it's hallmarked.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21It's got a stamp on it, yeah.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25See what it says on the inside. There's an A.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28There's an L, there's an I, there's an S.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33There's an O and there's an N.
0:16:33 > 0:16:34- Yeah.- OK.
0:16:34 > 0:16:35Here goes.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37So would you do me the pleasure...
0:16:38 > 0:16:40..of marrying me?
0:16:45 > 0:16:46I'll think about it. Yes!
0:16:47 > 0:16:51Oh, wow, how amazing to see this on Bargain Hunt.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Time for me to step in.
0:16:53 > 0:16:54Congratulations.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Fantastic.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Tony, relieved?
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Everyone's got tears in their eyes.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08Bargain Hunt has been running for 17 years and you, Tony and Alison,
0:17:08 > 0:17:13are our very first proposal, so, congratulations to the two of you.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- Thank you.- Did you mean it?- Yeah.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Phew. I can breathe a sigh of relief.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22I'm so pleased for Tony and Alison.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24While we all relax for a moment,
0:17:24 > 0:17:28I have time to tell you about yet another amazing love story.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37With so much love in the air,
0:17:37 > 0:17:40it's the perfect moment for me to show you this.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43It's a 15th-century rare gold brooch,
0:17:43 > 0:17:45a wonderful token of medieval love.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Amazingly, despite its tiny size,
0:17:47 > 0:17:51it was found by a metal detectorist in nearby Leicestershire.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54The high-carat jewel is inlaid with white enamel
0:17:54 > 0:17:59and is inscribed with the French "honor et ioie",
0:17:59 > 0:18:01meaning, of course, honour and joy.
0:18:01 > 0:18:06What a lovely romantic message, keep honour and joy in your heart.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10The story goes that it belonged to Baroness Catherine Neville Hastings.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14It was given to her by her husband, Baron William Hastings,
0:18:14 > 0:18:16of Kirby Muxloe Castle.
0:18:16 > 0:18:21The couple married in 1462 and went on to have six children but it was
0:18:21 > 0:18:23to end in tragedy.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28After fighting at the Battle of Towton
0:18:28 > 0:18:32during the War of the Roses, the baron was eventually executed
0:18:32 > 0:18:33by King Richard III.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Not only did the Baroness lose her beloved husband,
0:18:36 > 0:18:40she sadly also went on to mislay this token of his love.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44So how did this medieval sweetheart brooch get lost?
0:18:44 > 0:18:48The theory is Baroness Hastings dropped it whilst walking in the
0:18:48 > 0:18:49castle grounds.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52And would you believe it, 500 years later,
0:18:52 > 0:18:55it was found by a man with a metal detector.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Now, what's it worth today?
0:18:58 > 0:19:04Well, it's been valued at between £6,000-£8,000, and when the brooch is sold,
0:19:04 > 0:19:06the proceeds will be split, of course,
0:19:06 > 0:19:08between the landowner and the finder.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12So there you have it, a romantic and perfectly fitting find
0:19:12 > 0:19:14for today's show.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Back to the fair, and after the excitement of the romantic proposal,
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Tim is trying to bring the new fiances back down to Earth.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31- Are we happy?- Yes.- Very happy.- We look happy, we're all buzzing but
0:19:31 > 0:19:33I've got to drag you back to business.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Indeed, you have 15 minutes left.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38In the meantime, oblivious to the Blues' celebration,
0:19:38 > 0:19:40the Reds are getting on with the business in hand,
0:19:40 > 0:19:42looking for their third and final item.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48- Nice little desk.- Yes.- Look, on the back, here, we've got a
0:19:48 > 0:19:49retailer's mark, there.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51AW Spencer of Cardiff.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53But underneath that, we've got Tri-ang.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55- Remember that name?- Yes.- Tri-ang Toys?
0:19:55 > 0:19:58It was three brothers, the Lines brothers.
0:19:58 > 0:19:59Spelt L-I-N-E-S.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01- Right.- What do three lines make?
0:20:01 > 0:20:02The England flag.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06- A triangle. Three lines, not lions. - I thought you said, "Lions"!
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Someone needs to go back to school, I think.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12Three lines make a triangle. Tri-ang Toys, there you go.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15During the First World War, the factory was taken over and they
0:20:15 > 0:20:17had to make stuff for the war effort
0:20:17 > 0:20:19and then, after the war, resumed making toys again.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23Lovely little thing, you've got this wonderful little brass inkwell, there.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25I remember these at school. I'm showing my age now.
0:20:25 > 0:20:26Not these, they were the bigger ones.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29You've got the original slate in there as well.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32- How wonderful.- That's interesting. It's a bit of fun, isn't it?
0:20:32 > 0:20:37- Yeah. I like that.- We've got a price tag on here.- £75.- £75.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39So while the Reds do their sums,
0:20:39 > 0:20:43Tim's luring Alison towards another piece of sparkle.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45- Now, I know you like silver items. - Mmm-hmm.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49The great thing with silver is it can have cross-market appeal,
0:20:49 > 0:20:53because you can have novelty silver items that a silver buyer
0:20:53 > 0:20:57would be interested in, but it's something which could take any
0:20:57 > 0:20:58collector's fancy.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Now, I like this here.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06- A silver rocking chair.- I really like that. That's lovely.
0:21:06 > 0:21:11There's no hallmarks from silversmiths but it says 95,
0:21:11 > 0:21:13so we're comfortable that it's silver.
0:21:13 > 0:21:14It's all about the novelty.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16- Yeah.- You'll see lots of chairs, tables.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Rocking chairs are a little bit rarer.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Silver is a very, very delicate and soft metal,
0:21:22 > 0:21:25so you do want to check, especially with that stick
0:21:25 > 0:21:26back to the rocking chair.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29I think there are cracks there, if you look. Can you see it?
0:21:29 > 0:21:32It's going across the bottom of the chair.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34It's slightly damaged, but we can ask about that, can't we?
0:21:34 > 0:21:38- I think that might give you a bit of bargaining.- Yeah.- 35.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Shall we see what she can do it for?
0:21:40 > 0:21:42- Yes, OK.- Go in at 20.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Tell them it's an engagement present.
0:21:44 > 0:21:45After all that excitement,
0:21:45 > 0:21:48let's hope Alison has a clear head to negotiate.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Over with the Reds and they're also ready to haggle.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54What's your best on that?
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- 50.- 50? I thought you were going to say 50.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01I had a figure in my mind which was a little bit lower than that.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04- Was it?- Yeah. I was going to say 45.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06You can punch him if you like.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Actually, because I bought it, I will do 45.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11- You'd do 45?- I'd do 45.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13- OK?- I think that is a good deal, quite honestly, don't you?
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- I would like that. - I will do it for 45.- OK, my darling.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22So the Reds can relax with just over ten minutes to spare.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23Well done, team.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26For that deal, Dudley, you can go to the top of the class.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- Thank you.- Caroline, for you and me, school's out. Come on.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33It's down to the Blues now with the rocking chair.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37Any luck haggling with a £35 price tag, Alison?
0:22:37 > 0:22:39- £20 would be a great price. - 25 maximum.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41- OK.- Right then.- How did we get on?
0:22:41 > 0:22:4425. She's paid 22 for it, it's the best she can do.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45She's only going to make three quid on it.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- OK.- I did say it was an engagement present but she said,
0:22:48 > 0:22:51"How is that going to be? Because you're going to sell it."
0:22:51 > 0:22:52What's your feeling at 25?
0:22:54 > 0:22:56- Let's do it.- Go for it.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00- Put it there.- I'm happy.- You're happy.- I am happy.- We're all happy.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Three down. And what an amazing day we've had.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05You don't see that every day.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Let's hug it out, come on, well done, team.
0:23:08 > 0:23:13So the loved-up Blues are all done and dusted with five minutes to spare.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Wasn't that lovely? A Bargain Hunt first.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Congratulations to our Blue team.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Now, let's remind ourselves what they bought.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26First up, they splashed out £130 on an industrial cabinet.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Then they paid £25 for a vintage, handmade football.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36Their third item was the silver rocking chair for £25.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40But surely the most memorable moment of all the shopping was this.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44Would you do me the pleasure of marrying me?
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Blues, what can I say?
0:23:49 > 0:23:51What a shock. Congratulations.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55So, Tony, three items, which is your favourite?
0:23:55 > 0:23:58I think my favourite will have to be the football.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01It reminds me of when I was a young whippersnapper,
0:24:01 > 0:24:03running around kicking one just very similar.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06- Not so long ago.- Not so long ago, no.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09It's your favourite item but is it going to make the most money at auction?
0:24:09 > 0:24:13I think so. You've just got to have the right people there who like
0:24:13 > 0:24:15- football and they're going to buy that.- Well, fingers crossed.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Alison, you're not allowed to say your engagement ring.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20I'm sure that it's your favourite item.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24I do actually love the football as well. I want one for home.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Look, already, engagement is bringing you closer together.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29You're in total harmony.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Do you agree then it's going to bring the biggest profit?
0:24:31 > 0:24:34- I think so, yes. Definitely.- Definitely.- Yeah.
0:24:34 > 0:24:41- So, after three items purchased for £180, you've got?- £120.- 120.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43So I'll take that from you, Alison.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Tim Weeks, £120 goes to you.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48- Thank you very much.- Now, what are you going to buy?
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Well, what a day. It screams out one word for me.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53I'm not going to tell you what that word is,
0:24:53 > 0:24:56but I'm going to buy something that also screams that word.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00- OK.- So Tim has got something up his sleeve, and while he goes to buy it,
0:25:00 > 0:25:03let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07First, they fired off with this toy game set for £27.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13Next, they leapt on those bookends, paying £30 for the pair.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18And finally they bought a child's desk for £45.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Well done, Dudley and Caroline.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25You did everything with time to spare.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28And you did it in style, as well. Happy with what you bought?
0:25:28 > 0:25:30- Yes.- Pretty happy.- Yeah, pretty happy.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32OK. Dudley, which item are you happiest with, then?
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Your top fave?
0:25:34 > 0:25:37I think the Art Deco bookends.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41Nice and heavy, useful, and I think they should go quite well.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Do you think they'll bring the biggest profit?
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Not necessarily.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48- Probably the desk.- Caroline, that was your find.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51- It was, yes.- Is it your favourite item?- It is my favourite item.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Do you think it's going to bring you the most money at auction?
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- I think it will.- Now, I have to scold you, though, for a moment.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Hardly any money spent whatsoever.
0:26:00 > 0:26:01£102.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04So who's got £198?
0:26:04 > 0:26:06- I have it here.- Dudley, I'll take it from you, please.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08OK. Change.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10OK, thank you very much.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12That's going straight over to your expert, John.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15What are you thinking, with all that money burning a hole in your pocket?
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Well, Caroline wanted something toy-, something game-related.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21- We've got that with the duck shoot, and the desk.- Yes.
0:26:21 > 0:26:22And Dudley wanted something shiny,
0:26:22 > 0:26:24so I'm on the lookout for something shiny.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28- Oh.- OK. Well, while John is off to do his best magpie impression,
0:26:28 > 0:26:30it's time for us to head to the auction.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35We've travelled a few miles down the road to the auction
0:26:35 > 0:26:39house in Etwall, Derby, where Mr Hanson is ready and waiting.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- Charles.- Hello, Natasha.- Thank you for having us.- It's a pleasure.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45- Good to see you.- Chuffed to be here. Let's start with the Reds.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Caroline and Dudley. The first item is a quirky one.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49It's the duck shooting game,
0:26:49 > 0:26:52and surely your bidders are just going to love it.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56Yeah, I think in rural Derbyshire, it's quite an inspired buy.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59I think it's fun, it's complete, and also the design,
0:26:59 > 0:27:04it epitomises maybe the late 1960s, a really good toy, great fun.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07So what sort of price are we talking?
0:27:07 > 0:27:11Between 20 and £40, quite a wide guide.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Well, the team paid a very specific £27 for it.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16- So it looks like they got a discount there.- That's it.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19- And every pound helps, doesn't it? - Exactly.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21OK, let's move on to the bookends.
0:27:21 > 0:27:27Now, these are really stylish, but are they really that exciting?
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Well, they epitomise the Art Deco.
0:27:29 > 0:27:34They've got that simple, modern look, and that's what clients like.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36So, do you think they're going to make a lot of money?
0:27:36 > 0:27:39My guide price is between 20 and £40.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Well, our team, Dudley in particular went for these, £30,
0:27:42 > 0:27:44straight down the middle of your estimate.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47- OK, that's OK.- So let's pray for profits with those.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49And then, item number three,
0:27:49 > 0:27:52the team thinks this is going to bring the biggest profit, actually.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54It's that Tri-ang desk. It's very nostalgic.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56How rare is it, Charles?
0:27:56 > 0:27:59It's not very rare, but it's charming,
0:27:59 > 0:28:04it obviously is early 20th century, it's oak, not overly patinated.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06It's just got that lovely emotion,
0:28:06 > 0:28:09and we forget that's what collectors like,
0:28:09 > 0:28:12an object with real emotion which takes them back to their childhoods.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14What kind of price do you think it's worth?
0:28:14 > 0:28:17I would guide it between 30 and £40.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20Well, the team need a wee bit more. £45 they paid for it.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23- OK.- So it sounds like they might need their bonus buy, Charles.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25So let's see what John bought for them.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30Well, Caroline, Dudley, we couldn't really convince you to spend much
0:28:30 > 0:28:34money at the fair, so you left John with £198.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37You thought something shiny, in particular for Dudley, so...
0:28:37 > 0:28:39..did you follow that rule?
0:28:39 > 0:28:41I did follow the rule, managed to find something shiny,
0:28:41 > 0:28:45and didn't spend all of your money, you'll be pleased to know.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48It's a hollow cast bronze gilt Buddha.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50- Oh! Buddha.- Yeah, very nice.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53- Funnily enough, Caroline does like Buddhas.- I'm a Buddhist.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55Oh, wow! And I didn't know that.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57I must have felt something spiritual.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00- There was...- That is absolutely incredible!
0:29:00 > 0:29:02It's a good item at auction, quite current.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04The sort of thing that can take off a little bit,
0:29:04 > 0:29:06you only want two determined bidders with something like that.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10- OK. How much did you pay for it? - Well, with a little bit of haggling, I got it for £90.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13- Oooh!- I would've liked to have got it a little bit less than that,
0:29:13 > 0:29:15but I kind of have faith.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17OK, so what are you thinking it might fetch?
0:29:17 > 0:29:21- Well, I'm hoping over 100.- Yeah. - It's got a tenner in it for us at that.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23- I think it's got potential. - Well, that's a good word, Dudley.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Potential is a good word.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27So, let's find out, does Charles agree?
0:29:27 > 0:29:29Does this Buddha have potential at auction?
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Here is John's buy,
0:29:33 > 0:29:36it's a Buddha and hopefully it's going to be an auspicious one.
0:29:36 > 0:29:37What are your thoughts on it, Charles?
0:29:37 > 0:29:40What we look for, Natasha, is obviously these objects can be
0:29:40 > 0:29:44full of Eastern charm and it's frightening what they can make.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47They have been known to make £100,000 plus, but to me, it's almost
0:29:47 > 0:29:51too good to be true and when you feel that, it probably is.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53Just its level of weathering,
0:29:53 > 0:29:59to me it purports to be 15th century but it's probably 20th century.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02But if two buyers believe,
0:30:02 > 0:30:06there could be fireworks and my gavel could be sparking.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08OK, so what do you believe it's worth?
0:30:08 > 0:30:10Between £30 and £40.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Well, John will hope you add a few zeroes to the end of that.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16He did only pay £90 for it but I'm sure he'll be hoping this is one
0:30:16 > 0:30:19of those sleepers, as we call them, at auction.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21So those are the Red items.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24Moving on to the Blues, Alison and Tony.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27- Charles, love was in the air at the fair.- Really?
0:30:27 > 0:30:29There was a marriage proposal.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32- You're joking.- It was a "Yes," from Alison!- Goodness me!
0:30:32 > 0:30:35I'm wondering if it'll be a "Yes," from you regarding their items.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37And a profit, hopefully.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39Let's move straight to this cabinet.
0:30:39 > 0:30:44It's the standout piece, very yellow, very exciting for your bidders?
0:30:44 > 0:30:49Yeah, I mean, I think if that was in east London or geographically in the
0:30:49 > 0:30:52right market, it's a good object.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55But I think realistically, yes, we're online, but
0:30:55 > 0:31:00it's quite cumbersome to move and its value is restricted.
0:31:00 > 0:31:05But it's iconic, it's mid century and it's where the market is now.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07So you never know, it might just run a bit.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09What do you think it's going to make, Charles?
0:31:09 > 0:31:11I've guided it between £20 and £30.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13- Wow. OK.- Is that OK?
0:31:13 > 0:31:16Well, Alison and Tony spent £130 on it.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20- Right.- So perhaps Tony took his eye off the ball a wee bit,
0:31:20 > 0:31:23he was thinking about his proposal and that one slipped through the net maybe.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25You never know. Funny old game.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29Now talking of the net, football is the name of our next lot.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32It's an old one with bootlaces, and actually, for me,
0:31:32 > 0:31:35- quite a lot of charm.- I love football and I'm a Derby County man.
0:31:35 > 0:31:39We are in the East Midlands, we've got Nottingham Forest nearby,
0:31:39 > 0:31:41Derby County, Leicester, Burton.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43This is a mecca for footballing fans.
0:31:43 > 0:31:48This is a real football, it is '60s, maybe early '70s
0:31:48 > 0:31:49and I like it a lot.
0:31:49 > 0:31:53- What's the estimate?- Between 20 and 30 but hopefully,
0:31:53 > 0:31:57with a few buyers keeping the bidding up, it'll keep on going.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00Well, the team paid £25 for it, so, fingers crossed.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03- Yes, good.- And then, I mean, we've gone from this huge cabinet to this
0:32:03 > 0:32:06mid-sized football to this tiny wee rocking chair.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08I think this is a really strategic buy, Natasha,
0:32:08 > 0:32:11because it's not just a nice silver novelty in a rocking chair
0:32:11 > 0:32:15that's got a Victorian look, it's going to appeal to dolls
0:32:15 > 0:32:17collectors and also silver collectors too.
0:32:17 > 0:32:21Huge marketplace, again it's easily wrapped and packed.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23- What price?- Between £40 and £60.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26- Fantastic.- The team paid 25.
0:32:26 > 0:32:31- Good. Profit.- So, this could help them if that cabinet goes south
0:32:31 > 0:32:34and also Tim's on hand with his bonus buy.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38So, £120 you left Tim.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40There was a kind of cryptic clue you gave us.
0:32:40 > 0:32:44Tim kept saying everything screams one word, so, Tim,
0:32:44 > 0:32:46can you reveal to us what on earth you were talking about?
0:32:46 > 0:32:47I can.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52- OK. Y?- Help me. Hold that.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56Hold that. And the word is, yes!
0:32:56 > 0:32:58You like?
0:32:58 > 0:33:01- It's different.- What an unbelievable day we had.
0:33:01 > 0:33:02We're never going to forget it.
0:33:02 > 0:33:06And this was surely the most important word of the day,
0:33:06 > 0:33:09so when I saw these big, giant, colourful letters,
0:33:09 > 0:33:11how could I resist?
0:33:11 > 0:33:12And how much did you pay for this?
0:33:12 > 0:33:16- Well, straight onto the price! - Yeah.- I only had to pay £25.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18You're not impressed, are you?
0:33:18 > 0:33:20Are these the antiques of the future?
0:33:20 > 0:33:22We've already bought the antiques of the future.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Maybe they will be, maybe they will be.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26What do you think they'll make at auction?
0:33:26 > 0:33:30So I've paid £25 and you're asking me, are they going to make a profit?
0:33:31 > 0:33:32There's only one answer.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35Yes.
0:33:35 > 0:33:36Don't make your mind up just yet.
0:33:36 > 0:33:41Let's find out if Charles says, "Yes," to Tim's yes.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44- Right, Charles.- An S.- Yes.
0:33:44 > 0:33:49- An E.- An E. What are you spelling? - Put the S further away from you.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51- OK.- Then...- I've got you.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54- Y.- They are just nice, decorative letters.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57I think these two from the feel are of course wood and this one is a
0:33:57 > 0:33:59laminate, a plastic laminate.
0:33:59 > 0:34:04I don't think they're overly old, they might be 1960s, difficult to date.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07But they're fun and I suppose to a lady who said, "Yes,"
0:34:07 > 0:34:12they're priceless. I've put a guide price of between 20 and 30 and
0:34:12 > 0:34:14hopefully our buyers will say, "Yes."
0:34:14 > 0:34:18Tim paid £25 but I have a feeling that regardless of the result,
0:34:18 > 0:34:21- Alison and Tony will be on cloud nine. Don't you?- I hope so.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Will you be on the rostrum today?
0:34:23 > 0:34:27- Yes.- Just like the answer, the auction is in your hands.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29I can't wait.
0:34:29 > 0:34:3190, 5, 100.
0:34:31 > 0:34:32Your bid, sir.
0:34:32 > 0:34:36Caroline, Dudley, John, crunch time, so how are you feeling?
0:34:36 > 0:34:39- Pretty nervous.- Yeah? - Full of anticipation!
0:34:40 > 0:34:43But there are smiles on your faces, so that's a good sign.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45- You've got to keep smiling.- Yes.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47The duck shooter is your first lot going under the hammer.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50- Are you ready?- Yes.- Let's do it.
0:34:50 > 0:34:55Here we've got Duck Shooting, this lovely game from the 1960s
0:34:55 > 0:34:57and it's complete.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00I'm only bid £15, I'm asking 18 now.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02Gorgeous little game.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04£15 I'm bid.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07It's cheap. Surely 18, come on!
0:35:07 > 0:35:08Forewarning we sell.
0:35:08 > 0:35:13£15, going, going, sold.
0:35:13 > 0:35:17£15, we could've done better, but we don't need to panic,
0:35:17 > 0:35:22it's a loss of 12 so here's hoping that these bookends really take off.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24You paid £30, OK?
0:35:24 > 0:35:29- Good luck.- Art Deco style with the mounted leaping springboks.
0:35:29 > 0:35:33Only bid £12, and asking 15 now, 15, 18, 20, 2, 5, 8, 30, 2.
0:35:33 > 0:35:38- Profit.- 35. Well worth it. 35, 38, 40.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40- Yes!- Go!
0:35:40 > 0:35:44- £40. 45, 50.- Yes!
0:35:44 > 0:35:4845 I'm bid, back of the room, going, going.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52- Fantastic! £40.- Well done.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54Do you know what? I didn't really rate those,
0:35:54 > 0:35:55so I've been proved wrong!
0:35:55 > 0:36:00That was a profit of 15, so all of a sudden you're back in the black,
0:36:00 > 0:36:02£3 in profit.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Can we continue that with the child's desk?
0:36:04 > 0:36:05£45 paid.
0:36:05 > 0:36:10It's a lovely child's desk, made by Tri-ang Toys
0:36:10 > 0:36:12and I'm only bid £12.
0:36:12 > 0:36:13I'm asking 15 now.
0:36:13 > 0:36:1715, 18, 20, 2, 5, 8, 30.
0:36:17 > 0:36:1930 I'm bid, I'll take two now.
0:36:19 > 0:36:2132, 35, 38, 40!
0:36:21 > 0:36:23Come on!
0:36:23 > 0:36:27£40. 45. At £40, going...
0:36:27 > 0:36:3045, 50?
0:36:30 > 0:36:3250, look at me. 50 I'll take.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35- 55.- Come on!
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Going at £50, it's yours.
0:36:38 > 0:36:3950!
0:36:40 > 0:36:43He worked hard for you there.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47£50, that made £5, so you've made eight.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49Come on!
0:36:49 > 0:36:53Did you expect such a roller-coaster of emotions for £8?
0:36:53 > 0:36:55- No!- No, not really. It's fantastic fun.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58You still have one pretty major decision to make.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00Are you going to go with the bonus buy?
0:37:00 > 0:37:02I think we're going to cut and run.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04Really?
0:37:04 > 0:37:07- Yes, I don't think it's going to... - You don't think it's going to do it?
0:37:07 > 0:37:09- I could be wrong.- All right.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11- What do you think?- I'll go with what you say.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13You don't want to risk your £8 profit?
0:37:13 > 0:37:15- No.- So you've passed the bonus buy

0:38:19 > 0:38:21- Yes.- Not nervous?
0:38:22 > 0:38:24- Not really, no.- Not really!
0:38:24 > 0:38:26You've got bigger things to think about, don't you?
0:38:26 > 0:38:29I've already won a golden gavel.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31He's a smooth talker, Alison!
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Charmer!
0:38:33 > 0:38:36Let's see if the bidders are in the room for your items today, and the
0:38:36 > 0:38:38first one is the cabinet.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40You paid 130, here it comes.
0:38:40 > 0:38:47273, remember this, there we are, the yellow painted metal cabinet.
0:38:47 > 0:38:48It's causing a stir!
0:38:48 > 0:38:50And I'm bid £20.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52That's my commission, I'll take five now.

0:39:10 > 0:39:17- Yours.- OK, 25, worry not, it's just a wee loss of £105.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20- Well done!- Perhaps we can bring it back with the football.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22You paid 25, so here we go.
0:39:22 > 0:39:27A lovely 1960s or thereabouts handmade leather football
0:39:27 > 0:39:28and I love it.
0:39:28 > 0:39:32I've got commission at 20, I'm asking two now.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36- 22, 25, 28, 30, 2.- Brilliant.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38£32, I'll take five.

0:39:49 > 0:39:55OK. You did get a profit of £13, but overall, you're still minus 92.

0:40:21 > 0:40:2435, 40, £40, sir.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27I say sold at £40 today.
0:40:27 > 0:40:28- Yours.- Yay!
0:40:29 > 0:40:36Well done, another profit of £15 so now you are minus 77.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39So, OK, minus 77, you're in an interesting position.
0:40:39 > 0:40:45You still have one hope, is it, "Yes," or, "No," to the bonus buy?
0:40:45 > 0:40:46I'm going to say, "Yes."
0:40:46 > 0:40:48And I'm going to say, "Yes."
0:40:49 > 0:40:50I'm definitely saying, "Yes!"
0:40:50 > 0:40:52Well, Tim paid £25.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55I hope everybody else is saying, "Yes," too.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57- Here it comes.- It's a, "Yes," from me on this.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02Three painted letters, two are wooden, the other's a laminate.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05Yes, I hope you like them as well.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08I'm only bid £10.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10I'm asking 12 now and don't say, "No!"
0:41:10 > 0:41:1412, 15, 18, 20, 2, I'm out.
0:41:16 > 0:41:21Yes, 5, 8, 30, 2, 5, 8, 42. Nice one.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23Are you sure, sir?
0:41:23 > 0:41:26Yes? No. 45 I'm bid, the lady.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28Was that a yes? Yes!
0:41:28 > 0:41:32All out, I sell to the lady who knows a good yes.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35£45 and sold!
0:41:35 > 0:41:39- Yes!- Oh, yes! Well done, Tim.
0:41:39 > 0:41:45That was a profit of £20 so now only minus 57.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48It could have been a lot worse.
0:41:55 > 0:41:59Teams, I think we can safely say that auction was eventful,
0:41:59 > 0:42:02shall we say? And in fact the whole show was eventful.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Of course, we had the marriage proposal,
0:42:04 > 0:42:06it was just a wonderful feeling.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10But of course, one team is going to feel slightly more wonderful than
0:42:10 > 0:42:14the other, one making a profit and one making a bit of a loss!
0:42:14 > 0:42:16Our winners today are the Reds!
0:42:18 > 0:42:22Not with the biggest profit of all time, only £8.
0:42:22 > 0:42:27You had only one loss of your three items, which was your Duck Shooter game.
0:42:27 > 0:42:32And then the Buddhists amongst us did not go with the Buddha bonus
0:42:32 > 0:42:34buy, can you believe it?
0:42:34 > 0:42:35Because it made £5!
0:42:35 > 0:42:37I can't believe it.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40It would've taken you into a double-figure profit,
0:42:40 > 0:42:44but £8 is £8 and I'll hand it over to you gladly.
0:42:44 > 0:42:45- Thank you.- Thank you very much.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48It's difficult and the Blue team will confirm that.
0:42:48 > 0:42:49It is difficult, isn't it?
0:42:50 > 0:42:55You made a loss of £57, a handsome sum to lose, well done.
0:42:55 > 0:43:00But you only really lost on one item. It was that yellow cabinet.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03You shot yourselves in the foot with that one, didn't you?
0:43:03 > 0:43:05There was no London designers in the audience!
0:43:05 > 0:43:07I just didn't see them, no, there weren't.
0:43:07 > 0:43:08But what a memory you've made.
0:43:08 > 0:43:11You've come on Bargain Hunt and that's enough,
0:43:11 > 0:43:15but to go away with a ring on your finger, Alison, makes it extra special.
0:43:15 > 0:43:19- Definitely.- Well, we all had fun, you too can be on the show.
0:43:19 > 0:43:22It's easy to apply, the details are on our website.
0:43:22 > 0:43:26You can find out our gossip on Twitter, @BBCBargainHunt,
0:43:26 > 0:43:29and you can join us again for some more bargain hunting.
0:43:29 > 0:43:30- Yes? ALL:- Yes!
