0:00:02 > 0:00:05We're in Nottingham today, home to Sherwood Forest,
0:00:05 > 0:00:07and one of England's heroic outlaws.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09He stole from the rich...
0:00:10 > 0:00:12..to give to the poor.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15He is, of course, Robin Hood.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17His story may be the stuff of legend
0:00:17 > 0:00:20but he's not the only rebellious figure from this city
0:00:20 > 0:00:23to have brushed up against the long arm of the law.
0:00:23 > 0:00:24More on that later.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26First, let's go Bargain Hunting.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28- ALL:- Hooray!
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Here at Nottingham racecourse, the stalls are buzzing,
0:00:56 > 0:00:59ready for our teams to dig around and find some treasure.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03They'll each have £300 and one hour on the clock to find three items to
0:01:03 > 0:01:05take to auction. But before all that,
0:01:05 > 0:01:08let's have a look at what's coming up on today's show.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10The Reds disagree...
0:01:10 > 0:01:12- You're not saying a lot.- I like it.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15I, I really like it, but I hate the price.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18..and the Blues drive a hard bargain.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- 30 quid.- I'll sell it to you for that just to get rid of you.
0:01:23 > 0:01:28And over at the auction, there's a celebration for the Reds...
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Yes! We're in profit.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33..and high fives for the Blues.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34Wow!
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Nice one.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39That' all coming up later.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41First, it's time to meet today's teams.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45For the Reds, we have Neil and Kim and for the Blues, Sarah and Andy.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47- Hello, everyone. ALL:- Hello.- Good morning.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Good morning to you indeed.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51In fact, Reds, I'm turning to you first.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52Tell me, how did you two lovely people meet?
0:01:52 > 0:01:57We met in 1989 in a gay bar, of all places, in Nottingham.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00We were introduced by a mutual friend.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02And one thing that you have in common is a love of vintage
0:02:02 > 0:02:05and pre-loved items. So tell me about that?
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Well, I collect afternoon tea things.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10I love afternoon tea, which Neil does as well,
0:02:10 > 0:02:14so I've got 56 teapots, so I'm trying not to buy a teapot today.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- 56?- 56.- Whoa!
0:02:16 > 0:02:18But stored at the moment.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22And several tea sets and sugar bowls and sugar tongs,
0:02:22 > 0:02:24everything for afternoon tea.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26- Now by day you're a nurse, aren't you, Kim?- I am.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28So afternoon tea aside,
0:02:28 > 0:02:31tell us about your very vital role as a nurse.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Well, my background is really cardiac nursing
0:02:33 > 0:02:36but I've changed over the last few years
0:02:36 > 0:02:38and I've gone into substance misuse.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43So I work with people who are either dying of alcohol issues
0:02:43 > 0:02:45or recovering from alcohol issues.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Well we absolutely salute you because not everyone takes the time
0:02:48 > 0:02:51to be so selfless, so good on you for helping out people in need.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54- Thank you.- OK, so let's talk about your love of music, Neil,
0:02:54 > 0:02:57because that's entered into your life in a big way, hasn't it?
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Absolutely. It has been since I was 12.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02And yeah, I was a professional musician by the time I was 18.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Professional by the time you were 18?
0:03:04 > 0:03:09Yes. So I've done orchestral work, brass bands, big band...
0:03:09 > 0:03:10That's wonderful, isn't it?
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Do you have any tactics for today? Is someone going to take the lead?
0:03:13 > 0:03:17- What do you reckon?- Absolute pure northern charm and cheek.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Oh! Amazing.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22OK, what about money, are you going to spend big do you reckon, Kim?
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Well we're looking at quality, aren't we? Quality and undamaged.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Well from one life-saver to another.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Because Andy, on the Blues, you're involved in the medical world too,
0:03:31 > 0:03:33aren't you?
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Yes, I started my nursing career in accident and emergency,
0:03:37 > 0:03:38and eventually left.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41I've been self employed now for ten years.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43And I teach resuscitation, defibrillation,
0:03:43 > 0:03:48anaphylactic training to mostly GPS and dentists and their staff.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50But I also do a lot of other things.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52A little bit of comedy and I do some street theatre.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- And I'm a street statue. I'm a living statue.- No.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58I am. I sit on a bench with a seagull on my head
0:03:58 > 0:03:59and I'm painted gold.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01- Really?- I'm called the gold man.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Now, Sarah, style is very much a part of your career.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07- Yes.- Very much. - Lots of glitz and glamour.
0:04:07 > 0:04:08Sparkles, glitter.
0:04:08 > 0:04:15Er, so, I work with mostly communities in creating arts events
0:04:15 > 0:04:19like parades, creating costumes and creating structures
0:04:19 > 0:04:21that might only last for that one day.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23And have you always been quite creative?
0:04:23 > 0:04:24Yeah, I think so, yeah.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Yeah. I do a little bit of acting and things as well.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Now tell me about Bargain Hunt, OK.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Do you love the programme? Do you watch it obsessively?
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Or are you fair weather viewers?
0:04:34 > 0:04:35Just a little bit obsessed.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Andy is maybe going to take the lead in the team?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39He'll... He's the buyer.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43I'm a bit of a dreamer, really. I kind of just go for whatever.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46So I'm glad we've got an expert and also Sarah to shield me
0:04:46 > 0:04:49from this random kind of unicorn rainbow person
0:04:49 > 0:04:53that will be out there, wandering around, looking for strange things.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Now, Andy, you mentioned that you're each going to be assigned an expert.
0:04:56 > 0:05:01You're quite right. On top of that, I give each team £300.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05So £300 for the Reds, same budget for the Blues.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07So, off you go. Your experts can't wait to meet you.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08Get to it.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Well, there's lots of glitz and glamour today.
0:05:11 > 0:05:12Hopefully not too much drama.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16The stage is set and the fair is up and running.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18So, time for our teams to meet their experts.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Flying the flag for the Reds, it's Danny Sebastian.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28And captaining the Blues' ship, it's David Harper.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31- OK, what are we looking for? - You first, Neil.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35Oh! Lots of Victoriana, we're going to be looking for quality,
0:05:35 > 0:05:36no chips or cracks.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Silver, a bit of provenance, something interesting.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Something pretty, something that I like, but no teapots.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Retro hand held computer of some sort.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Oh, my gosh! I've never heard of anything so terrible in my life.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52Time to get your skates on, teams, your 60 minutes start now.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53Come on, let's go looking.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Let's go.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57They're off, and there's plenty to choose from here.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59- Copper's always good. - Copper's always good.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02And have the Blues struck it lucky already
0:06:02 > 0:06:04and found the silver item they're looking for?
0:06:06 > 0:06:08- This is interesting. - OK, what's interesting, Andy?
0:06:08 > 0:06:10- Talk to me...- I was looking at this.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12And I wasn't quite sure. It looked more interesting from a distance.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Do you think it's silver, or plate?
0:06:15 > 0:06:20- Ah, it's probably plate.- It's plate, and that's a real bad wear mark.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22It's maybe had a dribble of some sort on it.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Caused some sort of tarnishing of the silver plate.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Somebody's tried to clean it, it's taken all the plate off.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31And it's now doing what we call in the trade - bleeding.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- Oh, right, OK.- Yeah? So this...
0:06:33 > 0:06:35We don't want that, do we?
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Don't give it resuscitation, it doesn't need that!
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Right. It's just not well.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44No need for your life-saving skills just yet, Andy.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46You've only just got going. And there's still plenty to see.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Now, what have the Reds spied?
0:06:50 > 0:06:51What do you think to these?
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Looks like it's a Bakelite body on it.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- Yes, I thought Bakelite. - Quite nice.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59This is £12.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03I think, to be honest, when we go into auction it's got to be
0:07:03 > 0:07:06something a bit big, a bit flamboyant.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Had it had a maker's name on it and it was quite special,
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- all good and well. Um...- That's too modern, I think, isn't it?
0:07:11 > 0:07:13A little bit normal. Just too norm.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16- Let's crack on.- Come on, let's keep rolling, then.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Over with the Blues and it looks like they're also going for
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- something modern. - It just looks interesting really.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24I mean, there's plenty of people
0:07:24 > 0:07:27that collect cameras and lenses and things.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31I mean, even if you didn't use it as an actual camera,
0:07:31 > 0:07:33it would make a nice prop.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37In a cool house, in a modern house, that on a side table actually would
0:07:37 > 0:07:39look almost like a piece of sculpture.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41It's the way the market is going.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- Yeah.- Now it's £25, ticket price.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- Yes.- What are you like at negotiating?
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- We'll see. Let's give it a whirl. - She's on it.- I'll give it a whirl.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Let me go and find a stallholder. Hang on.
0:07:52 > 0:07:57While David finds out whether the Blues can snap up a bargain,
0:07:57 > 0:08:00the Reds are getting all nostalgic over these steam toys.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04My brother had one and I remember the smell of methylated spirits.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06They tap, don't they, all the time?
0:08:07 > 0:08:11You're right, Kim, steam models like these use meths as a fuel.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13This created the steam that powered the engine.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17Manufacturers later used the safer fuels which came in a tablet form.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21So how much is this?
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Quick look. Um, that one I've got 68.
0:08:23 > 0:08:2768. Is there any movement on that?
0:08:27 > 0:08:28A little bit but not a lot.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Neil's not happy.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33That I do know. He's at the back there and I can feel the fume coming
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- out of his nose!- And I'm doing, "I want it, I want it, I want it!"
0:08:36 > 0:08:38It's steam.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41I mean, you can ask the gentleman whether or not he can leave it
0:08:41 > 0:08:42probably, you know, if he can...
0:08:42 > 0:08:44There's four, I'm sure they're not all going to go.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47- If at the end of the day...- Come back and see me a little bit later.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48- OK.- We'll do that. Definitely.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- Lovely.- All right.- Thanks very much. - You're welcome.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52So 15 minutes into the shop
0:08:52 > 0:08:54and there's already disagreement in the Red camp...
0:08:54 > 0:08:55- Team.- Hello.- Hi.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59..while there's disappointment for the Blues.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01So that 25 isn't for the whole complete thing?
0:09:01 > 0:09:04No, this... I was just showing someone what it looked like.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06- Oh, I see.- Oh!- OK.- Right. OK.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10I would do it for the 25 but I can't go down on it.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13So did you say that you've already shown somebody this?
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- And...- Like I showed how this fits onto this.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Right, OK. And they decided not to buy it?
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- I was just showing another stallholder.- Oh! OK, right.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24That was a very clever move there, Sir.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26I've got to say, I think only I caught that.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30That was very good. That's the kind of negotiating I like.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Continue on that theme.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35So, do you think you will be likely to sell this today?
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Erm... I've no idea.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Because we could basically take it off your hands now,
0:09:43 > 0:09:47give you the cash and we could give you 20 quid for it?
0:09:49 > 0:09:51- You could.- Is that a deal? - Go on, then.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55The poor stallholder doesn't know what's hit him.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56- It's ours.- Well done.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58- First purchase, thanks very much. - Cheers.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01It looks like the Blues have a secret weapon
0:10:01 > 0:10:02with seal-the-deal Sarah.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05That's £20 for both the camera and the flash,
0:10:05 > 0:10:07and their first item bought in 20 minutes.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Back with the Reds and Neil is getting all musical.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15These are fantastic.
0:10:16 > 0:10:21These are half-tone gramophone needles.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- Are they worth anything? - Do you know, they are actually.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30When they're in good condition they are massive with collectors.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Collectors love these, particularly rare ones like this one.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Quite nice, good spot, Neil.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37You remember the old 78s, don't you, Kim?
0:10:37 > 0:10:39You're not that old.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41I think we've got a nice little thing, here.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43The front is lovely.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Nipper the dog.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48Everybody knows that. As soon as you talk about his master's voice or
0:10:48 > 0:10:52gramophones, then this image is always what we see.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54I think we're going to do all right with this, really.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- Yeah.- Well spotted.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58How much is this, please?
0:10:58 > 0:11:00- £12.- It's a bit pricey.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02- What can you do for me?- Ten.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Would you do it for nine?
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- I'll take nine. Yeah, I'll take nine.- Shall we go for that?
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- Yes.- Yay, let's have that. Thank you very much.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Shake the man's hand.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16With that deal the teams are now neck and neck with one item apiece.
0:11:16 > 0:11:21But with just over 30 minutes left, you need to keep the pace up, teams.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24And it looks like life-saver, Andy, is right in his element.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Surgery stuff. This is your department, isn't it?
0:11:29 > 0:11:30The department is open.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32- Right.- Wow, look at this.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Does it make you want to fix somebody up?
0:11:34 > 0:11:35Yeah, but maybe not with this.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38- Right.- It looks a little bit scary.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39What would they use that for, then?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41I'm thinking a podiatrist with this.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44It looks like a podiatrist set.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46So if I've got ingrown toenails or something,
0:11:46 > 0:11:47anything to do with your feet, really.
0:11:47 > 0:11:52I must also say this is wonderful because this is used for applying
0:11:52 > 0:11:55dressings on to toes.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- Is it really?- So you put the gauze onto there
0:11:57 > 0:12:00and you would turn it on there for that purpose.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04So it really is... I would say, almost complete.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06I hate to think how much this is, actually.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Shall we find out how much it is?
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- Where is our stallholder? Just out of interest.- Yeah.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14While the Blues go in search of the dealer,
0:12:14 > 0:12:16the Reds have found a quirky wine dispenser.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18It's very unusual.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20What do you think, Neil?
0:12:20 > 0:12:22I think I'd struggle to fit one of my glasses under there.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29I think you must put the wine there and that allows the wine to flow,
0:12:29 > 0:12:32so you'd have a small glass, wouldn't you?
0:12:32 > 0:12:35It just makes me think also that something is missing because if you
0:12:35 > 0:12:37have got a glass underneath it,
0:12:37 > 0:12:40what is going to press that up to release the wine?
0:12:40 > 0:12:43I think that is missing something at the bottom.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47We did say we only wanted complete, undamaged items.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49We did. Absolutely.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Time to move on then, Reds.
0:12:51 > 0:12:52Meanwhile, it looks like the Blues
0:12:52 > 0:12:55are limbering up for another impressive haggle.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00- It's 40 quid.- 40, is that cheap?
0:13:00 > 0:13:03I think that's fairly reasonable.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08But I think there might be a few toenail clippings in here.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12- That would bring the price down a little bit.- Disgusting!
0:13:12 > 0:13:14I can give you a fiver towards your bit of luck.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17- 35.- Do you want it to go today?
0:13:17 > 0:13:18It's not eating anything, is it?
0:13:18 > 0:13:21OK, but it is taking up space on your lovely stall.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23But it folds in half so it takes up half the space.
0:13:23 > 0:13:2630 quid and that's it.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30God, I'll sell it to you for that, just to get rid of you!
0:13:30 > 0:13:33- Thank you so much. - Give me your hand.- Thank you.
0:13:33 > 0:13:34Sarah strikes again.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39While the teams continue with their shopping, I'm off to find out more
0:13:39 > 0:13:42about a well-known book that made legal history.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59In 2015, Nottingham became a United Nations World Heritage
0:13:59 > 0:14:00City of Literature.
0:14:00 > 0:14:05It won the accolade because it is the home of several famous authors.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09Among them, DH Lawrence, whose book Lady Chatterley's Lover made legal
0:14:09 > 0:14:13history in 1960, when publishers Penguin were prosecuted for its
0:14:13 > 0:14:17sexually explicit content, deemed obscene at the time.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22To tell me more about the man, the book and the uproar it caused
0:14:22 > 0:14:23is Doctor Andrew Harrison.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Well, it was a novel that was produced
0:14:28 > 0:14:32in response to the general strike of 1926.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36Lawrence really was looking for a way to bring the classes together
0:14:36 > 0:14:39and so he wrote this story about a woman married to an aristocrat
0:14:39 > 0:14:41who has an affair with her gamekeeper.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45That unconventional relationship
0:14:45 > 0:14:49has since been the inspiration for numerous films.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52But when the book was first published in 1928,
0:14:52 > 0:14:55the explicit nature of the story was enough to cause a public outcry.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Lawrence couldn't get it published in the normal way in Britain and
0:15:00 > 0:15:04America and so he privately printed it in the place he was living in at
0:15:04 > 0:15:07the time, Florence, and distributed it by mail and tried
0:15:07 > 0:15:12to get around the postal authorities who were very keen to confiscate it.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15What then ensued was an interesting court case.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Paint a picture, what was it like in the courtroom?
0:15:17 > 0:15:23There was a huge trial case in 1960 which was a massive cause celebre.
0:15:23 > 0:15:28Six days of trial which included a lot of very famous writers appearing
0:15:28 > 0:15:32for the defence and very famously the prosecution said,
0:15:32 > 0:15:37"Would you like your wives or servants to read a book like this?"
0:15:37 > 0:15:41The publishers won the case and the book was printed ready for sale
0:15:41 > 0:15:43a month after the trial ended.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46And you have a copy of said paperback just here.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48This is a first edition.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51It is a first edition and alongside it there is a photograph of a
0:15:51 > 0:15:54book-seller in Nottinghamshire, Walter Hayes,
0:15:54 > 0:15:59with 250 freshly printed copies just hot off the press,
0:15:59 > 0:16:02which he was able to sell out within a day.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06Of course, this is the 21st century, a totally different time,
0:16:06 > 0:16:09but his popularity endures, doesn't it?
0:16:09 > 0:16:10Why do you think that is?
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Well, Lawrence has remained constantly in print
0:16:12 > 0:16:16and I think it is because, in many ways, he was a radical writer.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18He wrote about class difference,
0:16:18 > 0:16:23he wrote about gender and changing gender rules and about sexuality.
0:16:23 > 0:16:28And he's continued to seem relevant to succeeding generations, I think.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31So we have no doubt whatsoever that his legacy will endure?
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Absolutely, I think it will endure.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35He will be one of the writers that matters in the future.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Fantastic. Thank you so much for telling us more about him.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42Time for us to see now what sort of tales our teams are telling at the fair.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56After 35 minutes, the Blues have steamed ahead and bought two items.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00And the Reds are lagging behind with just one.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04But could this next item point them in the right direction?
0:17:04 > 0:17:06A mariner's compass, Neil.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09That's £95.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11It could be interesting.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13It's quite heavy.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- It's filled with water. - It's floating, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:17:17 > 0:17:23You must put this over if the sun is shining so you've got the shade.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26I am liking this. Barkers of London.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29If somebody is into this kind of thing,
0:17:29 > 0:17:32they can start doing a bit of research.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34It's unusual and I really like it.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- I am liking that.- Excuse me.
0:17:38 > 0:17:39Hello.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- Keep that smile.- We have spotted something we quite like.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45- Oh, right.- You've got 95 on this.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Is there any movement on that?
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Slight, yes.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50Would you take 80?
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Hold on, let the lady tell you...
0:17:52 > 0:17:54You don't tell her what you want to pay.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- You ask what is the best you can do. - Sorry.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00I'll do 80 on it for you.
0:18:00 > 0:18:01Is that your very best?
0:18:01 > 0:18:04When we take this stuff to auction, it's tough.
0:18:04 > 0:18:0678 and that is it.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08- What do you think, guys? - I think let's do it.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10- I'm happy with that. - Shake the lady's hand.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Lovely, thank you very much indeed.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16That is a discount of £17 for the ship's compass.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Well done, Reds. You're on course for the finishing line.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22One more item to find.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Meanwhile, the Blues are after some silver.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Could this piece be it?
0:18:26 > 0:18:28- Look at that.- It's clean.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- What is it? - I think it's a punchbowl.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Good, what is made from?
0:18:33 > 0:18:37I guess it's not going to be solid silver.
0:18:37 > 0:18:38We talked about this earlier on.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Just look at the lion mask, there, the end of his nose.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43- Ah!- What do you see happening?
0:18:43 > 0:18:46I see wear and I see yellowish.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48- Yes, the bleeding coming through. - It's worn away.
0:18:48 > 0:18:53So it's silver-plated. OK, pretty thing, but it doesn't do it for me.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Absolutely. Maybe not for us.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57No, let's see what else we can find.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Keep looking, Blues.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04The Reds are also on the search for shiny stuff,
0:19:04 > 0:19:07and with just over 15 minutes left, they've headed inside.
0:19:07 > 0:19:12Thank you. That is a really unusual piece, I think.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14- How much is this?- 195.- 195?
0:19:14 > 0:19:16HE COUGHS
0:19:17 > 0:19:18Quite nice.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21So we've got some hallmarking.
0:19:21 > 0:19:22Let's have a look.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28We've got the maker's mark, which is HA, then we've got the crown.
0:19:28 > 0:19:33That's Sheffield. And the a, is 1893.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35So it's an early piece.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37I mean, really, it's in great condition.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40No bumps, dints.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41The colouring's nice.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43- You're not saying a lot.- I like it.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46I really like it. But I hate the price.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50I think, at auction, we would get absolutely caned.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54I think you're probably right, Neil,
0:19:54 > 0:19:56but with a little more than ten minutes left,
0:19:56 > 0:19:58you need to start agreeing on things.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02The Blues, though, don't seem fazed by the lack of time.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04My goodness me.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Look at that. I've never seen one of those in real life.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08Do you know what it reminds me of?
0:20:08 > 0:20:11The Carry On films. Remember those?
0:20:11 > 0:20:12I can just see it in my mind.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Come on! Who's going to demonstrate?
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Go for it, Andrew.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20That would be around here, like that.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24- I tell you what, he's done this before.- I think he has.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27And you'd lean back and it would jiggle you...
0:20:27 > 0:20:29LAUGHTER
0:20:29 > 0:20:31There you go. You've lost a stone.
0:20:31 > 0:20:32I feel amazing.
0:20:32 > 0:20:33- Like a new man!- Honestly.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- He's so honed. - It's on the Christmas list.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39- But not on our list.- No!
0:20:39 > 0:20:40You do look great, Andy.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42But, really. There's no time to dawdle.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44You have one more item to find.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48Now, over with the Reds, could this baby's rattle be just the ticket?
0:20:48 > 0:20:54- There you go.- The coral, bells, and the whistle, as well.
0:20:55 > 0:20:56How much is that one?
0:20:57 > 0:20:58£90.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00What sort of age is this?
0:21:00 > 0:21:04It's Continental Silver, so it's probably 1930s, 1940s.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05- OK.- It's marked at 800.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07800 part silver.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Rather than UK 925.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13- What are you thinking? - I'm thinking, let's go for quality.
0:21:13 > 0:21:14Let's go for British.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Yes, I would go with that.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- So, can we give you that back? - Absolutely.- Thank you.
0:21:21 > 0:21:22Oh, dear. It's another, "No."
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Outside, the Blues have spotted
0:21:26 > 0:21:29a Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway sign which dates back to the 1880s.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- We're looking at Victorian. - Absolutely.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36And we're looking at the heyday of the steam railway, I guess...
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- We certainly are. - ..as it was starting to really come into its own.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Would you say it's quite collectable?
0:21:41 > 0:21:46Yeah, they are. Anything railway related is always collectable.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48But it's 160 quid.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49It's quite a lump, isn't it?
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- It is a lump. - I think we should go for it.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54I think Sarah should work her magic.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57I'm going to be fascinated to watch this again.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00I really am. Shall we call the chap over?
0:22:00 > 0:22:01Sir, can we have a little chat to you?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05This is my Blue team.
0:22:05 > 0:22:06- Hello!- Hello.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09On this item, it says...
0:22:11 > 0:22:13..£160.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Is that the right price?
0:22:16 > 0:22:17That's a fair price.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Right, OK.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21What's the lowest you're willing to go?
0:22:22 > 0:22:25- Do 140 on it.- 140.
0:22:26 > 0:22:27How about 130?
0:22:27 > 0:22:29135.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32- What do you think?- I think we should maybe pause and come back
0:22:32 > 0:22:34- if necessary.- OK.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Let me tell you, you've got nine minutes left.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38It's not very long, including negotiations.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42If you work your magic a bit more, because I would just like to see it.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45If I see a nice round 130.
0:22:45 > 0:22:46- 130, then.- Brilliant.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49I think we should shake on that.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53- Thank you, kind sir. - Thank you very much.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55And that's it. Your third purchase. Well done, you two.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58- Well done.- Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02I've learnt a lot from you two, I really have. Genuinely.
0:23:02 > 0:23:03It's been superb.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Sarah's skilled negotiating
0:23:05 > 0:23:08has done it again with a £30 discount on that railway sign.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12So, with the Blues finished, how are you doing, Reds?
0:23:13 > 0:23:14This is nice.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Oh, I like this. Eight piece cruet set.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Solid silver, Hallmark Birmingham 1928.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23We've got a maker. Docker & Burn.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25And it's 165.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27One of the benefits of that set
0:23:27 > 0:23:30is that all have their original blue glass liners. OK.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33A lot of the time, the spoons are mismatched.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35The hallmarks don't match up.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38But all the pieces have Docker & Burn 1928.
0:23:38 > 0:23:39It's a complete set.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42As the gentleman says, it's always nice when everything marries up.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43All the hallmarks marry up.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46It just shows, really, that it's all true.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49It's genuine. You know, that's quite nice.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52- The price... - Is there any movement on that?
0:23:52 > 0:23:55We do need to... It's got to go to auction.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57- There's always movement. - There's always movement?
0:23:57 > 0:23:58There's always movement.
0:23:58 > 0:24:03I think, at auction, that's going to make between 100, maybe, to £130.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05- That's the sort of bracket I put it in.- Yeah.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08I think we'll need a little bit of a wind going, as well.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10I'll give you a final price. 125, that's it.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13He's trying to work with us. He is trying to work with us.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15You can see, the price on it is 165.
0:24:15 > 0:24:16He's saying 125.
0:24:16 > 0:24:21If the man can say he'll do 120 quid, I'd say "Shake his hand and do it fast."
0:24:21 > 0:24:26- Would you do 120?- Done.- You're a scholar.- Thank you very much.
0:24:26 > 0:24:27WHISTLE BLOWS
0:24:28 > 0:24:31By my calculations, teams, your time's up.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33- Well, that's it.- Love it. Love it.- I do.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36- Three items bought. - Wheehee! High-five.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38And probably about the same amount of minutes left.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39Well done.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45First, they bought a tin of gramophone needles for £9.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Next, they paid £78 for this boat compass.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55And, finally, they splashed cash
0:24:55 > 0:24:58on an eight piece cruet set, £120 paid.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Well, Kim, Neil. Well done. That was a really good shop.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06- You must be quite happy with that. - Yes, I'm very happy.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08We've got some of the things that we wanted.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11So, Kim, tell me, you bought three completely different items.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Can you choose a favourite?
0:25:13 > 0:25:15My favourite has got to be the silver cruet set.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18It's got all its pieces, in its original box.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21- Favourite.- Do you think it's going to bring the biggest profit?
0:25:21 > 0:25:23- I would hope so.- No mention of the tin from you, Kim.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27- Not such a fan.- What? That rusty tin?- Is the tin your favourite?
0:25:27 > 0:25:29No.
0:25:29 > 0:25:30Which is your favourite?
0:25:30 > 0:25:32My favourite, I think, is the compass, actually.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Because it's very unusual.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36It might just sail through at the auction.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37So, fingers crossed.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40So, you spent 207.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Well done. So, who's got 93?
0:25:42 > 0:25:44- That'll be me.- Thank you very much. - I trust you.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47I won't check it. I trust you. I'll give that straight to Danny.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Do you have anything in mind, Danny?
0:25:49 > 0:25:50Well, I've seen something.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53I'm just hoping it's going to be there when I get out there to look for it.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56OK, so while Danny races off to get his bonus buy,
0:25:56 > 0:25:58let's remind ourselves what the Blue team bought.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03First, they spent £20 on a camera, complete with flash.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Then they bought a podiatry set.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09A snip at just £30.
0:26:10 > 0:26:15And, finally, a cast iron railway notice for £130.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19An unusual haggling technique, for sure. But it worked.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Never quite seen anything like it before.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23And never will, I don't think.
0:26:23 > 0:26:24Did you pick up some tips?
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Are you now going to be questioning everything?
0:26:27 > 0:26:28I'm going to be practising on you later.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Sounds like a date. Now, of the three items,
0:26:31 > 0:26:33I know it's difficult but can you pick your favourite one?
0:26:33 > 0:26:37My favourite one is the podiatry equipment.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39- That's your favourite? - Quite sinister.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Yes, knew a lot about it. It was interesting.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44- Pleased about that.- So, do you think that the medical instruments are
0:26:44 > 0:26:46going to bring the biggest profit at auction?
0:26:46 > 0:26:48- I think so, for me. Yes.- OK.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Sarah, do you agree that the medical instruments
0:26:51 > 0:26:52will bring the biggest profit?
0:26:52 > 0:26:54I don't think so.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57The feet thing really does freak me out a little bit.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00I think the camera that I went for first of all with the big flash,
0:27:00 > 0:27:02I don't think it'll make a lot of profit
0:27:02 > 0:27:05but I think it will make some profit.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07David, they did quite well, spending £180.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09It was a smooth process.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Well, someone has £120.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14- That'll be me. - I'll take it from you, please.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Thank you so much. I know you're loathed to give it to me.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19But I'm handing it straight to your expert.
0:27:19 > 0:27:20Do you have a plan?
0:27:20 > 0:27:23I do. I think we've been such a good team.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27I've got to try and buy something with a team feel to it.
0:27:27 > 0:27:28- There's a bit of a hint.- OK.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- Sounds intriguing. - David's the man with the plan.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33But it's time for us to head to the auction.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46We're in Lichfield now at Richard Winterton Auctioneers.
0:27:46 > 0:27:47Of course, Richard joins us.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49- Thank you very much for having us. - I'm delighted.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Straight to the Reds, Neil and Kim,
0:27:51 > 0:27:55tell me, are they going to make sweet music with this HMV needle tin
0:27:55 > 0:27:58complete with paper liner and needles.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00I don't know what you do with them.
0:28:00 > 0:28:01Obviously, use them for a gramophone.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Not a lot of money, I'm afraid.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06- OK, what do you think they are going to make then?- 5-£10.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10OK, well, the team paid £9 for them.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12- OK.- Perhaps this is more your speed, then.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15We've got a Barking & London ship's compass here.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18I like it. Again, I'm struggling to think what you'd do with it.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21Unless you're going to put it on your ship or a boat.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24We've gone 30-40. Hopefully, they haven't paid too much more.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Let me tell you, the team absolutely loved it
0:28:26 > 0:28:28and so they paid £78 for it.
0:28:28 > 0:28:29I'm not surprised.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31OK, before I tell you exactly what they paid,
0:28:31 > 0:28:34they did pay more for their third and final item.
0:28:34 > 0:28:39Silver cruet set, boxed, complete with liners and Greek key design.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Surely, there's got to be some money in this.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44It's the sort of thing, again, quite common,
0:28:44 > 0:28:45every household would've had one.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47Back in the day. What date have we got?
0:28:47 > 0:28:49- Quite late, I think, isn't it? - 1928, I think.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51So it's quite late.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53We've gone 50-80.
0:28:53 > 0:28:58Well, I feel like, don't tell the team because they paid £120 for it.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01- Ouch!- It's a real retail price, isn't it?- Yep, yep.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04Listen, Richard thinks this could be a rocky road.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06So, let's find out what Danny bought as a bonus buy.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10Danny, you had something in mind.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12Was it still there when you got to the stall?
0:29:12 > 0:29:13Luckily, it was.
0:29:17 > 0:29:18Is that the best you could do?
0:29:20 > 0:29:23I'm thinking of profit. That's what I'm thinking about.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26It's a 1950s, wire egg basket.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28It's in great condition.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31I think with all this netting and also no rust on it,
0:29:31 > 0:29:33it just makes it absolutely fabulous.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36It's got a lovely sort of action.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39That's obviously when it's full and you want to take the eggs out.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41And to carry them, you just close the handles again.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43Everybody likes an egg.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46So, I'm sure it's going to be used.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48And how much did you pay for that?
0:29:49 > 0:29:51- £8.- You was robbed.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55Well, I mean, you probably can get it a little bit cheaper.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58But I'm sure people can pay a lot more for them.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00How much do you think it'll go for?
0:30:00 > 0:30:03I really like it. I think it's really interesting.
0:30:03 > 0:30:04It should make £20.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07- Yeah.- I can't see why it doesn't make between 15 and £20.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09Maybe even a little bit more.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11- I like it. It's nice. - In your kitchen.
0:30:11 > 0:30:12It would look fabulous in my kitchen.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14And when I get my hens and everything,
0:30:14 > 0:30:18I can see me going there and getting my eggs on the morning.
0:30:18 > 0:30:19Fantastic. I love it.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23Listen, you don't need to make your minds up just yet.
0:30:23 > 0:30:24It's time for us to find out
0:30:24 > 0:30:28if Richard thinks this egg basket was a cracking buy.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32Well, Danny has got breakfast on the brain.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34What do you think of that egg basket?
0:30:34 > 0:30:36It's really just tactile, isn't it?
0:30:36 > 0:30:38I love it. I think it's a lovely, lovely item.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40I love seeing this. Bit of history.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42And we've got 15 to 20.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45- Well, Danny is a clever man because he only paid £8 for it.- Very good.
0:30:45 > 0:30:46But in those kind of margins,
0:30:46 > 0:30:48it might not be enough to get the Reds out of trouble.
0:30:48 > 0:30:49Now, what about the Blues?
0:30:49 > 0:30:54Andy and Sarah, we're starting off with the camera, it's Pentax,
0:30:54 > 0:30:58surely this is a really attractive item in today's sale?
0:30:58 > 0:31:01It's a well-known name, household name, but if it's going to bring
0:31:01 > 0:31:04them a lot of profit, I'm not quite so sure.
0:31:04 > 0:31:05Depends what they paid for it.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08OK, well, let me keep that a secret for now.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11- First of all, what's your estimate? - We've gone 20 to 30.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13OK, well you won't be too disappointed
0:31:13 > 0:31:14because our team paid £20.
0:31:14 > 0:31:15OK, that's all right, it's on par.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17- So that's good.- That's OK.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21So this is very much a set, a podiatry set we think,
0:31:21 > 0:31:23surgical tools of course,
0:31:23 > 0:31:25but do you think this was specifically for feet?
0:31:27 > 0:31:31Um, to be rea... I'm not sure, I'm afraid.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34I'm looking at it here, yeah, I've gone and put 30 to 40 on it.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37And when I look at it now, and you're talking about feet,
0:31:37 > 0:31:40and you know, I'm just wondering what the market is going to be.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43Stick with that estimate, if you will, because our team paid £30 for it.
0:31:43 > 0:31:44And they'll be very pleased
0:31:44 > 0:31:47if you get towards the top end of your estimate.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51Our third item for the Blues is this big railway sign.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54Now it's about trespassing, it's got a bit of a warning attached to it.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56But we do see a lot of replicas, is this a real McCoy?
0:31:56 > 0:31:59It is the real McCoy. People will pick this up on the Internet,
0:31:59 > 0:32:02I'm absolutely sure that this will, it's not a thing, I don't think,
0:32:02 > 0:32:05that will be sold in the room, we've gone 50 to 80.
0:32:05 > 0:32:06Well, sort of like our Reds,
0:32:06 > 0:32:09who made a big splash with their final item,
0:32:09 > 0:32:13the Blues paid £130 for this sign.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15So it could be equally choppy waters.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17Time to turn to the Blues' expert, David Harper,
0:32:17 > 0:32:20to see what he bought as a bonus buy.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24OK, this is it, Sarah, Andy... Look at your face!
0:32:24 > 0:32:26You look terrified.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30Don't be afraid at all because David has bought you some sort of cuboid.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32I mean, do you have any idea what's going on there?
0:32:32 > 0:32:34It's... It might be a board game?
0:32:34 > 0:32:36- Maybe?- OK, OK.
0:32:36 > 0:32:40Well, be prepared, it's going to look drop-dead gorgeous, right?
0:32:40 > 0:32:44But there's more to it than just its initial appearance.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47- Looks good to me.- OK.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49- OK, it gets even better.- OK.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56- Oh, wow!- Oh, look at that.- Wow.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59- It's amazing. - Isn't that just superb?
0:32:59 > 0:33:04- Do you know what it is?- Yeah, is it like a bar billiards type thing?
0:33:04 > 0:33:06It is, bagatelle. A couple of games,
0:33:06 > 0:33:10you can shoot the balls down that end into specific holes
0:33:10 > 0:33:14to score points, or you can put this construction this end
0:33:14 > 0:33:18and shoot the balls through named arches.
0:33:18 > 0:33:19What date is it, Andy?
0:33:19 > 0:33:21Oh, golly, is it 19th century.
0:33:21 > 0:33:26Absolutely, late 19th century, 1880, 1900, mahogany box.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29I mean, just fantastically constructed.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31How much did you actually pay for this?
0:33:31 > 0:33:35I think it was an absolute steal. 30 quid.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37- Really?- Wow!- It's bonkers, isn't it?
0:33:37 > 0:33:40How much do you think it will make at auction?
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Well, you know, there's an old term in this business,
0:33:42 > 0:33:43it's called double bubble.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46If you can double your money, that was always the rule of thumb.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49You should try to double your money, you're winning.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51And that's where we want to go with this.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53I reckon it's double bubble territory.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56I'm just about to tell you not to make your minds up,
0:33:56 > 0:33:57he's selling it to me!
0:33:57 > 0:34:00I'm saying, "Go for it, go for it!" But that's not the way we do it.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03We'll see how your first three items go and then decide whether or not
0:34:03 > 0:34:05to go with the bonus buy.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07For now, let's see if Richard thinks that this
0:34:07 > 0:34:09bagatelle is all fun and games.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15OK, Richard, David has bought this bagatelle cum billiard board,
0:34:15 > 0:34:18interesting thing, have you seen one of these before?
0:34:18 > 0:34:20A few times, yeah, a few times.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22Interesting. That's a very polite way of saying it.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26In the right setting, a pub or something, it could look really cool
0:34:26 > 0:34:28and I'm sure that's why David's bought it.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31- What's the estimate?- I'm afraid we haven't gone very high,
0:34:31 > 0:34:32we've gone for 30 to 50, I'm afraid.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34That's OK. I think David knows
0:34:34 > 0:34:37these bagatelle boards don't make a huge deal. £30 is all he paid.
0:34:37 > 0:34:38Well, OK, he's done OK.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41- So it's going to be all right?- No, that's better than I thought, yeah.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43So tell me, you're going to be on the rostrum today,
0:34:43 > 0:34:45is there a rosy outlook?
0:34:45 > 0:34:48I think we're going to have to work a bit hard today.
0:34:48 > 0:34:49OK, well, that's your job.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52Work hard for our teams, Richard, make us some money.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Certainly will.
0:34:54 > 0:34:5670, 80, 90.
0:34:57 > 0:35:0090, far right, 90, far right.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02Have you been to an auction before?
0:35:02 > 0:35:03Many times.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Cool, calm and collected.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09- Sounds like you're a dab hand.- Yeah.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11- Is he always like this, Kim?- Yes.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13Yeah, OK. Good answer.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15How about you, are you nervous?
0:35:15 > 0:35:17A little bit,
0:35:17 > 0:35:20but I'll be disappointed if we don't make a lot of money.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23Well, our first lot is the gramophone needles in their tin,
0:35:23 > 0:35:28very much your choice, Neil, so I hope that we make some profit.
0:35:28 > 0:35:29You only paid £9.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31- So, are you ready? - Absolutely, let's do it.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33As you'll ever be.
0:35:33 > 0:35:34Here it comes.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37The Internet is in at two. I've got two.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40Will you give me three? Three, give me four, give me five.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45Five, and... Yes, sir, and six.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48- Seven.- Oh, £7.- Come on. One more.
0:35:50 > 0:35:51Nine.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57- You've got to go again? £10.- Yes!
0:35:59 > 0:36:00£10.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05£10, all finished, well chuffed on that one, at £10,
0:36:05 > 0:36:07hammer up, sold £10.
0:36:07 > 0:36:11- Brilliant. Little bit of profit. - Well done.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15Well, Richard worked really hard for you there to make you £1.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18That's where you are, sold for ten, £1 made.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21£78 you paid for this compass, so here's hoping for more profit.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23Internet is in.
0:36:24 > 0:36:31At £35 with the Internet at 35, at 35, £40 with the Internet,
0:36:31 > 0:36:3345 with the Internet.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35Room, you're silent.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37- 45...- This is my favourite.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40Are you all finished? 45, all done?
0:36:40 > 0:36:43- Oh!- £45 doesn't feel so good, does it?
0:36:43 > 0:36:48£45. That's a loss of £33.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51But remember, you had £1, so it's only 32 you've lost.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53On a positive note.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57As we head into our riskiest lot, £120 paid.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00I don't know whether I dare look at this, I might have to hide in my fleece.
0:37:01 > 0:37:02We are in at 50.
0:37:02 > 0:37:08I have 60, we have 70, we have 80, we have £90.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10Bid. 100 in the room.
0:37:10 > 0:37:11110 in the room.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14120 in the room. 130 in the room.
0:37:14 > 0:37:15Yes! We're in profit.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18What do I know? 140 in the room.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21- Oh! Keep going.- 140 in the room.
0:37:21 > 0:37:25All done, hammer's up, quality piece always sells.
0:37:25 > 0:37:30- £140.- Very well done.- 140. - Who spotted that? I did.
0:37:30 > 0:37:34Brilliant. It's a £20 profit, which takes you to minus 12.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37That begs the question, will you or will you not go with the bonus buy.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42- I think we should absolutely go for it.- Yes.- Yes.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45I think it's growing on me, I know I was a bit disparaging
0:37:45 > 0:37:47but it is in good condition
0:37:47 > 0:37:50and it will be useful and look good in someone's kitchen.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53So I think we could get a lot of money for it.
0:37:53 > 0:37:57Well, Danny paid £8 for the basket. Our auctioneer loves it.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00He thinks 15 to 20.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02£4. £6. £8.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04£10.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06£10 in the room.
0:38:06 > 0:38:07£12.
0:38:07 > 0:38:11£15. £15.
0:38:11 > 0:38:15Who's going to give me that at £15? One more little one.
0:38:15 > 0:38:16£15.
0:38:16 > 0:38:17No, all done.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19- 15.- Oh!
0:38:21 > 0:38:23£15 was the selling price.
0:38:23 > 0:38:28It adds £7 so you are now a mere minus five.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30- Don't be despondent.- We're not.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34- As you know, minus five could well be a winning score.- Exactly.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37So don't say anything to the Blues, and yes, keep everything crossed.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46- Have you been to an auction before? - Never.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48- No.- Really?- Really excited, yeah.
0:38:48 > 0:38:49It is really exciting.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52- Have you been to one?- Yes, as a kid, but you were told just to sit still,
0:38:52 > 0:38:54don't smile or wave or anything.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57Don't smile, don't wave, don't pick your nose... Nothing.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00- Same rules apply today.- OK.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03You were a fabulous team. You worked brilliantly together.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05And now is the time to take your foot off the gas.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07It is in the bidders' hands.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10So I hope they're on your side, if you're ready,
0:39:10 > 0:39:14your first item is the camera, you paid £20, and here it comes.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19Five, eight, ten, 12, 15, 18, £20 the Internet.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21£20 with the Internet.
0:39:21 > 0:39:2425 in the room.
0:39:24 > 0:39:2630 with the Internet.
0:39:26 > 0:39:2730, the Internet.
0:39:27 > 0:39:34Shaking your head. £30, £30 all done, sold at the 30.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37- Well done.- Yes.- Good, wasn't it?
0:39:37 > 0:39:39£30 is a £10 profit.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41Straight onto this podiatry set.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44- Oh, dear.- Not too much of a worry, you only paid £30.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46Here it comes.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49I am, I am at 20, I'm at five, I'm at 30,
0:39:49 > 0:39:53I'm at five, I'm at 40, I'm at five, I'm at 50, I'm at five,
0:39:53 > 0:39:56I'm at 60, I'm at five, I'm at 70.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Five. I'm 80.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01- I'm £80.- Wow!
0:40:02 > 0:40:10At £80 bid, £80 all gone and sold at the £80.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13- Wow!- Yay, nice one.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15I don't think anyone was expecting that.
0:40:15 > 0:40:19- No.- £80 is the prize, and that's a profit of 50.
0:40:19 > 0:40:23- Fabulous.- Added to your profit of ten is £60.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27But we go into your most risky lot.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30£130 paid for this sign.
0:40:30 > 0:40:34I've got two bids, one at 70, one at 75.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37That's where we're at, at £75.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39I'm at £75.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41We were doing so well.
0:40:41 > 0:40:4375, all done.
0:40:44 > 0:40:48That is a loss of 55.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50So worry not, you're still in profit.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53At one point you had 60, now it's just five.
0:40:53 > 0:40:57Are you going to go with an item that you loved when David revealed
0:40:57 > 0:41:01it to you, the bagatelle board, now that you're only £5 in profit?
0:41:01 > 0:41:04- What are your thoughts? - I think we should.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06- I think we should.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08So you're going with the bonus buy, 100%.
0:41:08 > 0:41:13- David paid 30, Richard thinks 30 to 50.- Excellent.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16I really hope there's some more profit, here it comes.
0:41:16 > 0:41:20- Right.- OK.- Internet, I can tell you, is at £20.
0:41:20 > 0:41:24I've got 25, I have 30 on the Internet.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26I have got 30 on the Internet.
0:41:26 > 0:41:27We're in at the £30.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30- Come on.- We're in at the £30, I've got 35.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32£40, front row.
0:41:32 > 0:41:36£40 in the front row. £40 in the front row.
0:41:36 > 0:41:37Yours at 40.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39Everyone else out? All done at 40?
0:41:40 > 0:41:41Yours at 40.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44- £40! Brilliant.- Excellent.
0:41:44 > 0:41:50That's another profit of £10. Overall, Blues, £15 in profit.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52- Marvellous.- Yes.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54- Well done.- Brilliant. Thank you.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57Feels great to come on Bargain Hunt and make some money,
0:41:57 > 0:42:01but you don't know what the Reds made, so keep it to yourselves
0:42:01 > 0:42:03and we'll see how it all pans out.
0:42:03 > 0:42:04Brilliant.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Teams, I can't imagine how you feel right now.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14This is it, the moment you've all been waiting for.
0:42:14 > 0:42:18As in life, there are pluses and there are minuses.
0:42:18 > 0:42:22And the team today who picked up a minus, our runners-up are the Reds,
0:42:22 > 0:42:24I'm so sorry.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26But with a plus, our winners are the Blues.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28Well done.
0:42:28 > 0:42:32Do you know what? It's a small minus, minus £5,
0:42:32 > 0:42:34so really no big deal, is it, Reds?
0:42:34 > 0:42:37Don't worry, don't hold on to that disappointment,
0:42:37 > 0:42:40hold on to the happy memories of which I hope there are many.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Yes, definitely. We really, really enjoyed it.
0:42:42 > 0:42:43I loved going to the auction
0:42:43 > 0:42:46and it was really exciting watching our items being sold.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49I am glad you had a good time and don't be too disappointed
0:42:49 > 0:42:51because these guys didn't make a huge profit
0:42:51 > 0:42:54but profit nonetheless, £15, Blues.
0:42:54 > 0:42:55It feels good, doesn't it?
0:42:55 > 0:42:59- Oh, thank you very much.- I was expecting real disaster with that
0:42:59 > 0:43:01podiatry set because anything to do with feet,
0:43:01 > 0:43:04how can it have an appeal? £80 hammer price.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07I mean, your face was a picture.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10I don't think, Sarah, you're ever going to hear the end of that.
0:43:10 > 0:43:11No, I don't think I will.
0:43:11 > 0:43:14And everybody always says, you know, we've had a great time,
0:43:14 > 0:43:16you really do have an amazing time.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18Oh, I'm so pleased to hear that, thank you very much.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20Listen, they mean it, they did have a great time.
0:43:20 > 0:43:23And you could have one too if you apply to be on the show.
0:43:23 > 0:43:25Details are on our website.
0:43:25 > 0:43:27But you can always just join us again.
0:43:27 > 0:43:31- Tune in for some more Bargain Hunting. Yes? ALL:- Yes!
