0:00:02 > 0:00:03Bargain Hunt is back in Wales

0:00:03 > 0:00:05and my first stop is this church,

0:00:05 > 0:00:09where these medieval paintings were uncovered after 500 years.

0:00:09 > 0:00:11MUSIC: Beethoven's Fifth Symphony

0:00:11 > 0:00:15And here we have depicted some of the Seven Deadly Sins.

0:00:18 > 0:00:21Like lust, gluttony and greed.

0:00:21 > 0:00:23Well, let's hope that neither of our teams

0:00:23 > 0:00:26fall victim to any of those today.

0:00:26 > 0:00:28I'll be coming back here later on.

0:00:28 > 0:00:31But in the meantime, let's go Bargain Hunting!

0:00:53 > 0:00:56Today, Bargain Hunt is at the Builth Wells Showground,

0:00:56 > 0:01:00where, over the years, it's been given the Royal stamp of approval.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03They came to see prize-winning animals.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06But today, it's antiques that are on show.

0:01:06 > 0:01:09I think these are about the only Royals we'll be seeing today,

0:01:09 > 0:01:11but we do have two cracking teams,

0:01:11 > 0:01:15who each have £300 and one hour in which to buy three items

0:01:15 > 0:01:18to take off to auction, and hopefully make a profit.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21Let's check out what's coming up.

0:01:21 > 0:01:22Phil is all-demanding.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25You've got to buy one thing in the next nine minutes.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27And it's got to be a good thing.

0:01:27 > 0:01:29- OK.- No pressure.

0:01:29 > 0:01:31The Blues flex their muscles.

0:01:31 > 0:01:32Careful. It's got a good weight, hasn't it?

0:01:32 > 0:01:34Yes, it's heavier than I thought it would be.

0:01:34 > 0:01:37And at the auction, they get into the groove...

0:01:37 > 0:01:38Yes, come on, come on!

0:01:38 > 0:01:40..while the Reds smell victory.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43This is one of the great Bargain Hunt moments.

0:01:43 > 0:01:44Do you want a chair?

0:01:44 > 0:01:45But that's all for later.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47Now, let's meet today's teams.

0:01:47 > 0:01:51And for the Red team we have friends Christie and Angharad,

0:01:51 > 0:01:53and for the Blues we have stepbrothers Nathan and Ryan.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56- Hello, everyone. ALL:- Hello.

0:01:56 > 0:01:57Oh, lovely to see you here.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59My word, what a tan!

0:01:59 > 0:02:02- Thank you.- Where did you get that - Costa Rica?

0:02:02 > 0:02:04- Unfortunately not.- No?- Portugal.

0:02:04 > 0:02:05- Portugal?- Yeah.- It's wonderful.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07Did one of you go without the other?

0:02:07 > 0:02:09Yeah, she didn't take me.

0:02:09 > 0:02:12That doesn't sound very fair, does it?

0:02:12 > 0:02:14No, I'm sorry!

0:02:14 > 0:02:18- Whereabouts do you live?- We are from Carmarthen in West Wales.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20Now, Christie, what about work? What do you do for a living?

0:02:20 > 0:02:22Well, we're both careers advisers.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24- Careers advisers? - Careers advisers, yes.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26- We're both based in school.- Yeah?

0:02:26 > 0:02:30Is it difficult to fire up young people with enthusiasm?

0:02:30 > 0:02:32- Some more than others. - THEY LAUGH

0:02:32 > 0:02:36On the whole, they're very good and they want to succeed, so, yeah.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38So, when you are not working, what do you like doing?

0:02:38 > 0:02:39We both really enjoy running.

0:02:39 > 0:02:42- Do you?- Yes, we do a lot of running in our spare time.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44Angharad, do you really enjoy this running lark?

0:02:44 > 0:02:46Yes. Yeah, yeah.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48- We only started last year.- Did you?

0:02:48 > 0:02:49Yeah, we took part in a TV programme.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52The international rugby player Gareth Thomas

0:02:52 > 0:02:56trained us from couch to running the half marathon in 12 weeks.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58How exciting is that?

0:02:58 > 0:02:59What about antiques?

0:02:59 > 0:03:00- We love antiques.- You do?

0:03:00 > 0:03:03- Any knowledge?- Erm... Limited knowledge, I would say.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05Angharad likes her jewellery.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08And I've collected sort of antique plates and things like that.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10What about tactics? Are you going to agree?

0:03:11 > 0:03:14- Well...- No, is the simple answer to that, I think!

0:03:14 > 0:03:17Maybe. We're going to have our own little competition going on.

0:03:17 > 0:03:19- Are you?- Yeah. So we want...

0:03:19 > 0:03:21Obviously we're going to beat the Blues.

0:03:21 > 0:03:25Steady, boys! Well, all the best. Good luck with it.

0:03:25 > 0:03:28- Thank you.- I'm sure you'll get on really well.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30Don't fall out while you're shopping.

0:03:30 > 0:03:34- Very important.- We'll try.- Now we have stepbrothers Nathan and Ryan.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36So where do you come from, Nathan?

0:03:36 > 0:03:39I come from Porth which a small town within the Rhondda Valleys.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41Yeah. And you, Ryan?

0:03:41 > 0:03:43I'm from Bridgend. I used to live in the Rhondda with Nathan,

0:03:43 > 0:03:45but I recently moved out.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47Yeah. Good rugby-playing area, isn't it?

0:03:47 > 0:03:50Definitely, yes. Yeah, produced a lot of Welsh internationals.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53- So, yeah.- Now, boxing - you're both keen on boxing, aren't you?

0:03:53 > 0:03:56- Yes.- We are massive fans of boxing. - Tell me about boxing.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58We got into it about ten years ago.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01We've gone to lots of UK events and even worldwide events.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03Is it expensive to go to a boxing fight?

0:04:03 > 0:04:05- It can be.- Can it?

0:04:05 > 0:04:07Yes. Especially in Vegas.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09Vegas? Oh, my goodness, that's a long way to go.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11It can be very expensive, very, very expensive.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13What happens if you go to Vegas

0:04:13 > 0:04:14and there's a knockout in the first minute?

0:04:14 > 0:04:18- Don't you feel a bit cheated?- Well, luckily that hasn't happened yet.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20Now, what about antiques? You collect things, don't you?

0:04:20 > 0:04:23Yeah, so I collect pub memorabilia.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26- Oh, do you?- Yeah, ranging from mirrors to beer mats.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29- Fantastic. And what about you, Nathan?- Yeah, sports memorabilia.

0:04:29 > 0:04:32I collect... Boxing, specifically.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34Are we going to be sticking to pub memorabilia

0:04:34 > 0:04:35and signed sport memorabilia

0:04:35 > 0:04:37or are we going to be looking at other things?

0:04:37 > 0:04:41I think Ryan's more safe, he'll probably be looking for familiar,

0:04:41 > 0:04:43but I like to take a bit of risk,

0:04:43 > 0:04:45spend a bit more money and see what we can find.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47Something unusual, something interesting.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49Well, have a great time, enjoy it.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51What are you going to need, teams?

0:04:51 > 0:04:53- BOTH:- Money!

0:04:53 > 0:04:55How very demure!

0:04:55 > 0:04:59"May I?!" Well, I've got £300 for each of you.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01- There we go. 300 for you.- Thank you.

0:05:01 > 0:05:05- 300 for you.- Thank you.- Good luck. Have a great shop with your experts.

0:05:05 > 0:05:08Running against boxing.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10But who will deliver the knockout blow?

0:05:11 > 0:05:13Boxers come with an entourage.

0:05:13 > 0:05:15Our teams come with an expert.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18He'll be the Reds' best friend - it's Phil Serrell.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23And stepping up for the Blues, it's Thomas Plant.

0:05:24 > 0:05:25Ryan, what are we looking for?

0:05:25 > 0:05:27I'm going to be looking for pub memorabilia

0:05:27 > 0:05:30- and also some sporting goods, if we can get it.- Superb.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32I like things that are quite unusual, pretty.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35- Something to do with the dogs would be quite nice.- Dogs?- Dogs, yes.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37- Silver?- Silver maybe.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39Time's pressing on, teams.

0:05:39 > 0:05:42Your 60 minutes start now.

0:05:42 > 0:05:43I'd like to spend all of our money.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46- Yes?- No, no, I'm going to save it. - Right. Bit of conflict here, then!

0:05:46 > 0:05:49Sport, pubs and dogs. Well, let's go!

0:05:49 > 0:05:52So the ladies in Red are already disagreeing,

0:05:52 > 0:05:55while our Blues brothers are in perfect harmony.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58And they've spotted something sporty straightaway.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01Sporting memorabilia. It's not memorabilia, it's a real thing,

0:06:01 > 0:06:03- a curling stone.- Yeah, what sort of age are we looking at there?

0:06:03 > 0:06:06Let's have a look. It might have a date on it.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09No, it doesn't. It's quite heavy.

0:06:09 > 0:06:10Wow, there's a weight on that.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13I reckon that's what, maybe 15, 20 kilos?

0:06:13 > 0:06:16- Have a feel of that, mate.- Careful. It's a good weight, isn't it?

0:06:16 > 0:06:17It's heavier than I thought it would be.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20These come from a very northern part of Scotland and this was a game

0:06:20 > 0:06:23played on the lakes, on the lochs.

0:06:23 > 0:06:26Curling stones make a rumbling sound when they travel across the ice,

0:06:26 > 0:06:29giving the sport its nickname - the roaring game.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32It's a fabulous thing, great sport.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35Well, I think it's £95, which is rather a lot of money.

0:06:35 > 0:06:36- I quite like it.- I like it as well.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39- That's a possible, I think. - It's a possibility.

0:06:39 > 0:06:40Shall we find out how...?

0:06:40 > 0:06:42I think we could send Nathan in, if you're happy, Nath?

0:06:42 > 0:06:46Yeah, go on, yeah. Would you be happy paying £70 perhaps for that?

0:06:46 > 0:06:47A bit less.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50- Yeah, would you be happy...? - I'd go for 60.- Yeah?

0:06:50 > 0:06:53Start there and see where it goes.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56- That's a nice number.- Off you go. - Do I have to take it with me?- No!

0:06:56 > 0:06:59While Nathan jogs off to fetch the dealer,

0:06:59 > 0:07:01the Reds are talking about having a lie down.

0:07:01 > 0:07:03It's called a go-to-bed.

0:07:03 > 0:07:07And what you do, you undo the top and there's matches in there.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09There's a bit of sandpaper on the bottom

0:07:09 > 0:07:11and you strike the match on the bottom

0:07:11 > 0:07:15and then you stick it in the top and then you hold it upstairs

0:07:15 > 0:07:17as you go to bed and it's called a go-to-bed.

0:07:17 > 0:07:19Impressive knowledge, Phil.

0:07:19 > 0:07:23The Blues, though, want the curling stone and, as boxing fans,

0:07:23 > 0:07:26they should enjoy this bout of haggling with the dealer.

0:07:26 > 0:07:30- We're thinking more around the 50 mark.- 50 mark. My gosh.

0:07:30 > 0:07:3275 and we've got a deal.

0:07:32 > 0:07:36- I'll go 55.- No, I think we've got to go a bit more.

0:07:36 > 0:07:40- You're doing well. - You're doing well but £70...

0:07:40 > 0:07:44- There's little profits in these things.- Can we say 60?

0:07:44 > 0:07:4665.

0:07:46 > 0:07:48Go on, then, great.

0:07:48 > 0:07:51And that, we know, is better than it was going to be so well done, you.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53Well done, you! Happy with that, Ryan?

0:07:53 > 0:07:54- Yes, very happy.- Cheers, John.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56- Thank you very much.- Top effort.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59First item down, let's go and find the next one.

0:07:59 > 0:08:00Thank you very much.

0:08:00 > 0:08:04So Nathan lands an impressive blow in under five minutes

0:08:04 > 0:08:07and gets a £30 discount on the curling stone.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10It's lucky you like running, Reds, as you're playing catch-up,

0:08:10 > 0:08:13although Phil might have found you a potential purchase.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16These are trying to look like...

0:08:16 > 0:08:19..Georgian, late-Georgian pole screens.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22- How old do you think these are? No great age.- Not a lot of age, no.

0:08:22 > 0:08:23Ten or 20 years old?

0:08:23 > 0:08:26- Something like that, yes.- So these are reproductions of something

0:08:26 > 0:08:30that would have been made 150, 160 years ago.

0:08:30 > 0:08:34- Right, OK.- Now, ladies' complexions weren't quite as good

0:08:34 > 0:08:35in those days as they are today.

0:08:35 > 0:08:41- Really?- No. So they filled their faces with, like, a wax make-up,

0:08:41 > 0:08:45which if they got too close to the fire, their faces melted.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48- Right.- So these screens kept the heat off them.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51- To protect them?- Yeah. If these were the real McCoy...

0:08:52 > 0:08:56..ten years ago, a pair of these would have been worth

0:08:56 > 0:08:58probably £800-£1200.

0:08:58 > 0:09:02Today, a pair of these might be worth 200-400.

0:09:02 > 0:09:06- OK.- Now, these have got no age to them so they're going to be less.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08- Do you like them?- I do like them.

0:09:08 > 0:09:10- Why?- I don't know, there's something unusual about them,

0:09:10 > 0:09:12a little bit different. Not what I expected to buy.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14Angharad, what about you?

0:09:14 > 0:09:17Same. I think they look nice. They're quite appealing.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19I think a lot of people would like them.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22So what do you think you should be paying for these?

0:09:22 > 0:09:23- £50?- £50.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26- Good, sir...- OK. - ..these ladies like these.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28- I've got 100 quid on them, right?- Yeah.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31We're selling them for a good friend. He said, just sell them.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33For you, 50 quid today, that's it.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36- And that's your best? - That is the best.

0:09:36 > 0:09:39- Absolute best? - It'll save me taking them home, see.

0:09:39 > 0:09:42I think they're going to make between £40 and £80 at auction.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45- OK.- At £50, he's being more than fair to you.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47- What do you think?- I think yeah.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49- Yeah?- Come on, then.- Shake his hand.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51- You're a gentleman.- Thank you.

0:09:51 > 0:09:55- Thank you very much.- You've been very kind to us, thank you.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57Thank you. You both like them. Look at that.

0:09:57 > 0:09:58I'm amazed!

0:09:59 > 0:10:01Well done, Reds.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04It's a unanimous agreement on a pair of screens for £50.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06Ten minutes gone, one lot bought,

0:10:06 > 0:10:08so how are we going to carve up the rest of it?

0:10:08 > 0:10:10Are you going to buy one lot each or are we going to agree?

0:10:10 > 0:10:13- I think we're going to go for one each now.- Yeah, definitely.

0:10:13 > 0:10:14What's yours going to be?

0:10:14 > 0:10:17Something like a little jewellery box or something like that I think.

0:10:17 > 0:10:19- A little jewellery box. What about you?- I'd like some silver.

0:10:19 > 0:10:23Well, you've got plenty of time, ladies. Only ten minutes gone

0:10:23 > 0:10:26and it looks like the boys have found a contender for item two.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28- You like it, Ryan? - I don't mind it, yeah.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31This company - Fry's Chocolate, from Bristol, Quakers -

0:10:31 > 0:10:35were the first people to make the chocolate bar.

0:10:35 > 0:10:38Correct, Thomas, and they did that in 1847,

0:10:38 > 0:10:4250 years before Cadbury's released their first chocolate bar.

0:10:42 > 0:10:47What you have got here is a piece of confectionery history,

0:10:47 > 0:10:49advertising history.

0:10:49 > 0:10:51It is £78.

0:10:52 > 0:10:55- It's from 1910. I like it. - You're sold on it, aren't you?

0:10:55 > 0:10:59- Do you like it?- Not for me, but if you really, really want it.

0:10:59 > 0:11:00- It's not for you? - If you're really into it.

0:11:00 > 0:11:03If you liked it also, I think I could be swayed to buy it,

0:11:03 > 0:11:06- but if we're not sure on it, then...- Oh, dear.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08And Thomas was so keen!

0:11:08 > 0:11:11Back to the Reds, and Phil is excited as well.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13- That is fantastic.- What is it?

0:11:13 > 0:11:18Right... That is the equivalent of antique blotting paper.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21It's called a pounce pot so you put pounce in there,

0:11:21 > 0:11:23which is a bit like sand,

0:11:23 > 0:11:26and when you'd written in glorious copperplate, your letter,

0:11:26 > 0:11:32you then sprinkled this all over the paper and it dried off the ink.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34And then with what was spare,

0:11:34 > 0:11:37this would unscrew some way or other, I hope.

0:11:37 > 0:11:38So that plug comes out there

0:11:38 > 0:11:42and you'd pour the pounce that you haven't used, back in there.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44Very, very rare. Very, very rare...

0:11:45 > 0:11:47- ..and out of our budget! - THEY LAUGH

0:11:47 > 0:11:49- £240.- Wow!

0:11:49 > 0:11:53That would leave you £10 for two items and a bonus buy.

0:11:53 > 0:11:55I suggest you find something else, Reds.

0:11:55 > 0:11:56What about pens, gentlemen?

0:11:57 > 0:12:01Pens? Writing instruments, are you into writing?

0:12:01 > 0:12:03- No.- Always popular. No, you're not into writing?

0:12:03 > 0:12:04No, we're not into writing.

0:12:04 > 0:12:08Well, Thomas, that brought another one of your ideas to a full stop.

0:12:08 > 0:12:09Now, have the Reds found something

0:12:09 > 0:12:11to write home about with these antique card cases?

0:12:11 > 0:12:13It's silver wire work, really, isn't it?

0:12:13 > 0:12:15- DEALER:- Filigree, yeah.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18- And where would they have come from? - They were made in Birmingham,

0:12:18 > 0:12:20but also made a lot in the Mediterranean area.

0:12:20 > 0:12:23Which do you prefer? Angharad, which one do you like best?

0:12:23 > 0:12:25- I prefer this one.- Christie?

0:12:25 > 0:12:27- I prefer this one. - See, I like that one,

0:12:27 > 0:12:30but I think that's because that's more of a blokey one.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33I also think that's more of an English-looking one,

0:12:33 > 0:12:35whereas that's much more Continental in style.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40And price, though, at £180 and £130...

0:12:41 > 0:12:44There's no way Nick's going to half-price those.

0:12:44 > 0:12:47The Reds certainly have expensive tastes.

0:12:47 > 0:12:49Now, with less than 30 minutes to go,

0:12:49 > 0:12:51could this little number keep the Blues on track?

0:12:51 > 0:12:54- Oh, my gosh. - Reminds me of my first car!

0:12:54 > 0:12:56This reminds you of your first car?

0:12:56 > 0:12:59- What do you like about this?- I don't know. It's just quite quirky.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01- Stands out.- It's a bit out there, but it does catch my eye as well.

0:13:01 > 0:13:04Are you sure you want to go for something like this?

0:13:04 > 0:13:06Yes. I'm not keeping it.

0:13:07 > 0:13:10What would, kind of, the resale on that be?

0:13:10 > 0:13:13I think resale auction value, about 20 quid.

0:13:13 > 0:13:16- £20?- Might be a little bit more.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18£90. I'm not going to stop you from buying it...

0:13:18 > 0:13:20- No.- ..if you've really fallen in love with it.

0:13:20 > 0:13:22- No, it's fine.- It's 90 quid!

0:13:22 > 0:13:24- £90!- £90!

0:13:24 > 0:13:26- Come on.- Yeah.- Yeah, we will leave that one, then.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29- I did like it but not for £90. - 90 quid!

0:13:29 > 0:13:32So, it's a no to the toy car.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35Now it's back to the Reds, who also seem to have stalled.

0:13:35 > 0:13:39We started off so well and we've now had over half an hour,

0:13:39 > 0:13:41we've still only got one thing bought,

0:13:41 > 0:13:44so you've got to buy one thing in the next nine minutes, OK?

0:13:44 > 0:13:48- OK.- We'll do it.- I'm going to time you.- OK. No problem.

0:13:48 > 0:13:50And it's got to be a good thing!

0:13:50 > 0:13:53- OK.- No pressure. - No pressure here.- No.

0:13:53 > 0:13:56So, while Phil turns up the heat on the Reds,

0:13:56 > 0:13:57the Blues are staying cool.

0:13:57 > 0:14:00- What about that picture? - Oh, that's rather fun, isn't it?

0:14:00 > 0:14:02Looks like a sailor's Valentine.

0:14:02 > 0:14:05A sailor's Valentine was something which was done by a loved one

0:14:05 > 0:14:07of the sailor, to remember them when they're away at sea.

0:14:07 > 0:14:11This is a merchant sailor, Merchant Navy,

0:14:11 > 0:14:15because we have the ensign for the Merchant Navy there.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18"God is on my right," which is great, it says on there.

0:14:18 > 0:14:22- And what do you think that would do at auction?- £40-60, £50-80.

0:14:22 > 0:14:25I think it would probably... You'd probably struggle

0:14:25 > 0:14:29getting much off this, less than sort of maybe 50 quid.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31But I can go and ask. I think it's worth having a go at.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33- You can ask, definitely ask. - I'll go and ask.

0:14:33 > 0:14:35If you could ask nicely for us, yeah, thank you.

0:14:35 > 0:14:39Fingers crossed, Thomas can charm the dealer.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42- Right.- Smiling faces?

0:14:42 > 0:14:44- What can you do?- £55.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47- Picked the right price there, hasn't he?- Yeah, he won't go as low as 50.

0:14:47 > 0:14:49I've tried. 55, it is a risk.

0:14:49 > 0:14:50I have just seen something, though.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53Do you want to think about this or do you want to sort of...?

0:14:53 > 0:14:54Yeah, if we could have a look at the item?

0:14:54 > 0:14:57I'm interested in what you found over there.

0:14:57 > 0:14:58Yeah, I did, which you might like.

0:14:58 > 0:15:01- So we're going to put that down.- Yeah.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03- You seem intrigued by it. - Stay there.

0:15:03 > 0:15:04Stay there. I'll bring it to you.

0:15:04 > 0:15:06I can't wait! Meanwhile,

0:15:06 > 0:15:08the Reds are hoping for a eureka moment of their own.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10I'm sure there must be something here for us.

0:15:10 > 0:15:13- Yeah.- Nothing in the price range, I don't think.

0:15:13 > 0:15:17Don't panic! You've still got £250 to play with.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19Now, Thomas, surprise us.

0:15:19 > 0:15:22- Wow.- So, this is a tobacco jar.

0:15:22 > 0:15:24It's made by Doulton.

0:15:24 > 0:15:25Doulton Lambeth.

0:15:25 > 0:15:28There's the monkey with his pipe.

0:15:29 > 0:15:30One up from Darwin, we are.

0:15:30 > 0:15:34- That's it.- This is the joke this is giving us.- Yes.

0:15:34 > 0:15:36This was made in the late 19th century.

0:15:36 > 0:15:39- A bit of humour with it. - A bit of humour to it.

0:15:39 > 0:15:40In good condition as well, isn't it?

0:15:40 > 0:15:43- The best thing about it is the price.- Yeah, yeah.- 24 quid.

0:15:43 > 0:15:45- Do you like that? - Yeah, we definitely like it.

0:15:45 > 0:15:48We were looking for something in that area as well.

0:15:48 > 0:15:51- Do you want to forget about that? - Yes.- Forgotten about that?

0:15:51 > 0:15:54- Fully concentrate on this.- Yeah, I think we like this one better.

0:15:54 > 0:15:57All right. Shall I try and get it for 20?

0:15:57 > 0:16:00- Yes.- Yeah?- Yeah.- Or anything off that from there?- Yeah, definitely,

0:16:00 > 0:16:02if you can get anything off...

0:16:02 > 0:16:04I think there is profit in that all day long.

0:16:04 > 0:16:05- Stay there.- Thank you.

0:16:05 > 0:16:08Mr Plant is working hard for you today, boys.

0:16:08 > 0:16:1020 quid. Thank you very much.

0:16:10 > 0:16:13- Thomas is happy. He's shaken hands. - I've shaken hands.

0:16:13 > 0:16:15I've done it. I thought, 20 quid.

0:16:15 > 0:16:18- It's great, isn't it?- Yeah, we're very happy with that.

0:16:18 > 0:16:21- We are, definitely.- Right. Second item done.- Number two done.

0:16:21 > 0:16:22Let's go.

0:16:22 > 0:16:25Well done, Blues. You're close to the finishing line now,

0:16:25 > 0:16:27while the Reds are lagging behind

0:16:27 > 0:16:30with two items to find and just over 20 minutes left on the clock.

0:16:30 > 0:16:34- I quite like the little snuffbox there.- These here?- Yeah.

0:16:34 > 0:16:36- Which one?- I like both of those.

0:16:36 > 0:16:39- That one and that one?- Yeah. - Which is your favourite?

0:16:39 > 0:16:41- The smaller one.- That one?

0:16:41 > 0:16:43- Yeah.- That is French.

0:16:43 > 0:16:46Limoges. Priced at £45.

0:16:47 > 0:16:48It's probably around...

0:16:49 > 0:16:51- ..£20-worth.- Really?- Oh, right.

0:16:51 > 0:16:53- We don't want that, then. - Well, you don't know what...

0:16:53 > 0:16:56The lady might do you a deal, you never know, do you?

0:16:56 > 0:16:58- OK. Yeah.- What's the best you could do that for, my dear?

0:16:58 > 0:17:01- Looks to me like it's 20 quid's worth, really.- £40.

0:17:01 > 0:17:04OK. We'll pass on. Thank you very much indeed.

0:17:04 > 0:17:07What did the dealer say? £40? That's disappointing.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10So, are the Blues having any better luck?

0:17:10 > 0:17:12This has really caught my attention.

0:17:12 > 0:17:16- But...it's not that old. - Oh, really?

0:17:18 > 0:17:20- All the scuffs, have they been done? - They've been done.

0:17:20 > 0:17:24- That's no good.- Come on.- Interesting item, though, wasn't it?

0:17:24 > 0:17:25Caught my eye.

0:17:25 > 0:17:27Talking of eyes...

0:17:27 > 0:17:29Look, staring out at you like demonic eyes.

0:17:29 > 0:17:30Really, really funny eyes.

0:17:30 > 0:17:32Looks like it's got two different eyes.

0:17:32 > 0:17:35They really look really scary.

0:17:35 > 0:17:36How much are your pugs, please?

0:17:36 > 0:17:39- DEALER:- 140 quid. There is some damage to them, so...

0:17:39 > 0:17:42- Oh, OK, right.- Both damaged, eh?

0:17:42 > 0:17:44Yeah, damaged, it's a shame, but they're quite cool.

0:17:44 > 0:17:47- Yeah, I do like them. - Nathan loves a pug as well.

0:17:47 > 0:17:48That's frustrating.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51And I thought Nathan had found his doggy item there.

0:17:51 > 0:17:54Meanwhile, can Phil woo the ladies with some silver?

0:17:54 > 0:17:58Do you like that? That is a little Victorian silver dressing table box.

0:17:58 > 0:18:01- OK.- It's got a Birmingham hallmark on it. It's priced at £75.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04The lady says you can have it for £45.

0:18:04 > 0:18:07I like the flowers on the top, the little engraved flowers.

0:18:07 > 0:18:09Is that a name on the top there?

0:18:09 > 0:18:11Yeah, it says...Christie...

0:18:11 > 0:18:12THEY LAUGH

0:18:12 > 0:18:13- Nice try!- ..he lied.

0:18:15 > 0:18:17- Mabel.- Oh, right, OK.

0:18:17 > 0:18:21- Yeah?- It's quite cute. I like it. I think it's more you.- It is, yes.

0:18:21 > 0:18:23Oh, come on, tell me, then, Angharad, why is that you?

0:18:23 > 0:18:28Well, it's silver, so it's what I was looking for and it's pretty.

0:18:28 > 0:18:31- Small and flowery.- Yes.- Just like you.- Pretty, small and flowery.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34Right...

0:18:34 > 0:18:37So 45, it's reduced from £75 to 45.

0:18:37 > 0:18:41- Yes?- Yes.- Yes. Definitely? - I think so.- I'm going to buy.

0:18:41 > 0:18:43We're up against it, time-wise.

0:18:43 > 0:18:46- You go and look that way, I'll go and buy.- Thank you.

0:18:46 > 0:18:50Phew, that's buy number two in the bag with just over 15 minutes left.

0:18:50 > 0:18:52Right, we've got to hurry up now.

0:18:52 > 0:18:54- Come on. Come on, come on, go, go, go.- Let's go!

0:18:54 > 0:18:57At this rate, it could be a sprint finish for the ladies,

0:18:57 > 0:18:59while the boys haven't even broken sweat.

0:18:59 > 0:19:02There you are, you see? There is your sporting item.

0:19:02 > 0:19:05- Yeah.- You've got the painted scoreboard on there.

0:19:05 > 0:19:09- Yeah.- Plastic runners, plastic markers,

0:19:09 > 0:19:13vintage snooker/billiard scoreboard - £35.

0:19:13 > 0:19:15What do you genuinely think, Ryan?

0:19:15 > 0:19:18I do like it, yeah. It brings you back to when you used to go down

0:19:18 > 0:19:21the snooker club, have a game of snooker with your family.

0:19:21 > 0:19:24- Yeah, I really like it.- I think it's safe for our last option.

0:19:24 > 0:19:2635, you've only spent £85.

0:19:26 > 0:19:28This is hardly going to break the bank.

0:19:28 > 0:19:31- It goes in with your theme, doesn't it?- It does.- It does, yeah.

0:19:31 > 0:19:34Ryan, do you... Who wants to go and have a chat? Or shall I?

0:19:34 > 0:19:36- I think it's Ryan's turn.- This is all down to you, isn't it?- OK.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39Gentleman's waiting to speak to you.

0:19:39 > 0:19:41Hello. Are you coming in to chat to us?

0:19:41 > 0:19:45- If that's OK.- Well, I'm going to pass you over to my associate, Ryan,

0:19:45 > 0:19:47who's going to negotiate.

0:19:47 > 0:19:50- OK.- Yes, we like your scoreboard there.

0:19:50 > 0:19:52- Yeah.- What sort of price would you be looking at?

0:19:52 > 0:19:53It's 35 on the ticket.

0:19:55 > 0:19:59- How does 30 sound?- Yeah, we're looking closer to 20, really.

0:19:59 > 0:20:01Split the difference, 25?

0:20:01 > 0:20:03- I think that's quite a good compromise.- You happy with that?

0:20:03 > 0:20:06- Yeah, we'll be happy with that. - There he is, he's done it.

0:20:06 > 0:20:08Get in. I can't believe that.

0:20:08 > 0:20:12- Thank you.- 25 quid, I think that's a brilliant buy.

0:20:12 > 0:20:15- It is good.- I think that's absolutely fabulous, well done.

0:20:15 > 0:20:16That's our third and final item.

0:20:16 > 0:20:18A real pleasure. Thank you very much.

0:20:18 > 0:20:22What a couple of champion shoppers, taking it all in their stride.

0:20:22 > 0:20:23So, you happy, guys?

0:20:23 > 0:20:26- Yeah, we're happy. - Very happy.- I'm super-impressed.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29- I think it's time for a cup of tea, don't you?- Definitely.

0:20:29 > 0:20:32I thought a sports bar would be more their thing!

0:20:32 > 0:20:34Talking of which, the Reds have found something

0:20:34 > 0:20:35that's perfect for a pub,

0:20:35 > 0:20:38although they've only got ten minutes until last orders.

0:20:38 > 0:20:40Come on, then, ladies, what have you got?

0:20:40 > 0:20:42What have you got? What HAVE you got?

0:20:42 > 0:20:46- BOTH:- It's a penguin! - It's a cocktail shaker and it's a penguin.

0:20:46 > 0:20:49PHIL MAKES PENGUIN NOISES

0:20:49 > 0:20:50This was made yesterday.

0:20:50 > 0:20:52Oh... I like it.

0:20:52 > 0:20:55- You like it?- Yeah.- But would it make us any money?

0:20:55 > 0:20:56Do you know what?

0:20:56 > 0:20:59- I like it too. - THEY LAUGH

0:20:59 > 0:21:00I think it's really cool.

0:21:00 > 0:21:03There are actually three different types of cocktail shaker.

0:21:03 > 0:21:04The Boston shaker,

0:21:04 > 0:21:07the cobbler shaker and the French shaker,

0:21:07 > 0:21:09and during the 1920s, novelty designs

0:21:09 > 0:21:12like penguins became popular.

0:21:12 > 0:21:16- So what's your favourite cocktail? - Well, I like espresso martinis.

0:21:16 > 0:21:18What a girl!

0:21:18 > 0:21:19So, it's £29.

0:21:19 > 0:21:22- £29.- What are you going to get it for?

0:21:22 > 0:21:25- 20?- 20. We've got to buy it, haven't we?

0:21:25 > 0:21:26- I think so.- Yes.- I want to.

0:21:26 > 0:21:29Right, off you go, tell the dealer you'll have it,

0:21:29 > 0:21:33give him 20 quid and think of a Bargain Hunt cocktail.

0:21:33 > 0:21:35- Off you go.- OK.

0:21:36 > 0:21:41But hurry up, Reds, because you have just minutes left to do a deal.

0:21:41 > 0:21:44- Well, have you bought it? - We have.- Really? 20 quid?

0:21:44 > 0:21:48- 20 quid.- Top job! We're finished. Three things bought. Home and hosed.

0:21:48 > 0:21:50Right, teams, your time is up.

0:21:50 > 0:21:54One last question, what is the Bargain Hunt cocktail?

0:21:54 > 0:21:56We're not sure yet but we hope it's not going to be Red on the Rocks.

0:21:56 > 0:21:58Very good, I like that.

0:21:58 > 0:22:00Come on, let's go. That's been absolutely fantastic.

0:22:00 > 0:22:03- That's the best way to spend an hour, isn't it?- Definitely.

0:22:03 > 0:22:06Now let's just remind ourselves what the Red team have bought.

0:22:06 > 0:22:11Christie and Angharad got £100 off this pair of replica pole screens.

0:22:11 > 0:22:12£50 paid.

0:22:14 > 0:22:17The silver dressing table box was £45.

0:22:19 > 0:22:22And finally, they all fell in love with the penguin cocktail shaker,

0:22:22 > 0:22:24which cost them £20.

0:22:25 > 0:22:27Christie and Angharad, isn't it a change,

0:22:27 > 0:22:32- a pleasant change, to be outside? - Not really. It's a bit cold.- Cold!

0:22:32 > 0:22:35- Cold, you'd rather be back inside shopping.- Oh, yes.- Fantastic.

0:22:35 > 0:22:37What's your favourite lot?

0:22:37 > 0:22:39For me, personally, the penguin, the penguin cocktail shaker.

0:22:39 > 0:22:41Oh, for shaking penguins.

0:22:41 > 0:22:44- Yes.- Will it make the biggest profit, though?- I don't think so. - You don't.

0:22:44 > 0:22:46No, I think the fire screens will.

0:22:46 > 0:22:48You think the fire screens. They're rather nice.

0:22:48 > 0:22:51- Yes, very nice.- Do you agree? - Yeah, definitely.- Yeah.

0:22:51 > 0:22:53- But your favourite lot is the little box.- Yes, definitely.

0:22:53 > 0:22:55- You like that little box. - Yes.- What did it cost, 45?

0:22:55 > 0:22:58- Yeah.- Yeah. Quite a good buy.

0:22:58 > 0:23:02- I think so, too.- Are you going to get a golden gavel?

0:23:02 > 0:23:03# Dun, da-da, dun... #

0:23:03 > 0:23:06Should I have mentioned that?

0:23:06 > 0:23:10Now, you spent £115, so you've got £185 left over.

0:23:10 > 0:23:13- We have.- Let's have it. - There you go.

0:23:13 > 0:23:14Well done. Philip.

0:23:14 > 0:23:17- Rossco, thank you.- How are you possibly going to improve on this?

0:23:17 > 0:23:20Charlie, I'm going to go and find something to put the penguin in.

0:23:20 > 0:23:23So while Philip goes off to find something to put the penguin in,

0:23:23 > 0:23:26I'm going to check out just what the Blue team have bought.

0:23:26 > 0:23:29Nathan and Ryan secured the granite curling stone

0:23:29 > 0:23:32in under five minutes, for £65.

0:23:32 > 0:23:35Thomas persuaded them to purchase the stoneware tobacco pot,

0:23:35 > 0:23:37which was £20.

0:23:37 > 0:23:41And they finished their shop by spending £25

0:23:41 > 0:23:43on the snooker scoreboard.

0:23:43 > 0:23:46Well, Nathan and Ryan, you kept with that sporting theme.

0:23:46 > 0:23:48Yeah, two items on the sporting theme, so, yeah,

0:23:48 > 0:23:50we're quite happy with that, really.

0:23:50 > 0:23:52- What's your favourite lot? - It's got to be the tobacco jar.

0:23:52 > 0:23:54- I really like the tobacco jar. - I like the curling stone.

0:23:54 > 0:23:55- You do?- Yeah, yeah.

0:23:55 > 0:23:58Do you think that will make the biggest profit, though?

0:23:58 > 0:24:00I think it could be a dark horse, it could go really well.

0:24:00 > 0:24:01So £110 spent.

0:24:01 > 0:24:04- Yes.- 190 left over.

0:24:04 > 0:24:05A dangerously large amount.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07Hand it over.

0:24:07 > 0:24:11Thomas Plant with £190, anything could happen.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13What are you going to do with that, Thomas?

0:24:13 > 0:24:16Well, I think there's one theme which has been missed out

0:24:16 > 0:24:19and I'm going to make sure that void is filled.

0:24:19 > 0:24:23- Great.- So while Thomas goes off to fill that void,

0:24:23 > 0:24:24before we go to the auction,

0:24:24 > 0:24:27I'm going off to the Vale of Glamorgan

0:24:27 > 0:24:30and to that little church, to check out the medieval murals.

0:24:35 > 0:24:40St Cadoc's is a tiny church in the village of Llancarfan,

0:24:40 > 0:24:43but it's of huge historical importance thanks to these...

0:24:45 > 0:24:48..a unique collection of medieval paintings.

0:24:50 > 0:24:53This is sensational.

0:24:55 > 0:24:58And seeing this for the first time is truly moving.

0:25:00 > 0:25:03This mural tells the story of St George,

0:25:03 > 0:25:06a Christian crusader who saved a princess from a dragon.

0:25:07 > 0:25:10And these paintings show people falling victim

0:25:10 > 0:25:12to the Seven Deadly Sins.

0:25:13 > 0:25:16In every case, they're being egged on by the devil.

0:25:18 > 0:25:23Unbelievably, these works of art were painted over 500 years ago,

0:25:23 > 0:25:27but in 2007, conservator Jane Rutherford

0:25:27 > 0:25:30was brought in to uncover them.

0:25:30 > 0:25:32You couldn't see anything of the paintings.

0:25:32 > 0:25:36They were completely covered over, with over 20 layers of lime wash.

0:25:36 > 0:25:38If you look at the far east end of the church

0:25:38 > 0:25:41you'll get a flavour of what these walls all looked like.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46We worked down through those layers, one layer at a time.

0:25:46 > 0:25:49- One layer at a time?- Yes. - Using what as an instrument?

0:25:51 > 0:25:52Surgical scalpel.

0:25:54 > 0:25:56This is one of the many tools Jane uses

0:25:56 > 0:26:01as she patiently removes the lime wash to reveal the secrets beneath.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04In certain areas, the worst-damaged areas,

0:26:04 > 0:26:07a square inch an hour was fast.

0:26:07 > 0:26:10It gives you an idea of the scale that we're working on.

0:26:11 > 0:26:15Jane and her team have been working at St Cadoc's for a decade,

0:26:15 > 0:26:19and what they've uncovered during that time has caused quite a stir.

0:26:19 > 0:26:22How important are all these paintings?

0:26:22 > 0:26:25They are exceptional. They are internationally important.

0:26:25 > 0:26:29This is the most exciting discovery of wall paintings of this kind

0:26:29 > 0:26:31in the UK this century.

0:26:32 > 0:26:35What an accolade for the artist who painted them.

0:26:35 > 0:26:37This painter was something else.

0:26:37 > 0:26:40- We don't know who he was.- No, and of course there is no signature.

0:26:40 > 0:26:42Would he have been a professional painter?

0:26:42 > 0:26:45Oh, yes. I like to think he's stood over in that corner there

0:26:45 > 0:26:48and he's been given this wall as his canvas

0:26:48 > 0:26:51and he's looked at how he can fill it.

0:26:53 > 0:26:56These paintings were used to teach Christian values

0:26:56 > 0:26:58to the illiterate parishioners.

0:27:00 > 0:27:02When they looked up to St George, they would see a role model,

0:27:02 > 0:27:06an honourable man who spent his life spreading the word of Christianity.

0:27:08 > 0:27:12But the sins were a warning about living life on the wild side.

0:27:12 > 0:27:16So he's got the drama of these sins painted in the most dramatic way

0:27:16 > 0:27:18I think I've ever seen in this country.

0:27:18 > 0:27:22And certainly, when you look at the two beasts, George's horse,

0:27:22 > 0:27:26and the dragon, and their eye contact,

0:27:26 > 0:27:29the electrical charge between those two beasts is second to none.

0:27:29 > 0:27:31I haven't found it anywhere else

0:27:31 > 0:27:34in any other example illustration I've ever seen.

0:27:34 > 0:27:36He's a complete master of theatre.

0:27:36 > 0:27:39And it's the artist's depiction of St George and the dragon

0:27:39 > 0:27:41that's really excited Jane.

0:27:41 > 0:27:43It's got one extra feature

0:27:43 > 0:27:46which makes this the exceptional discovery that it is

0:27:46 > 0:27:49and that is the figure of the virgin

0:27:49 > 0:27:51included in the combat scene.

0:27:51 > 0:27:53We haven't yet come up with another example,

0:27:53 > 0:27:57so that makes Llancarfan absolutely unique in this imagery.

0:27:59 > 0:28:02How many more years' work do you think you have?

0:28:02 > 0:28:04I keep discovering things!

0:28:07 > 0:28:10Sadly, Jane can't tell us about those finds yet,

0:28:10 > 0:28:12as they're top-secret.

0:28:12 > 0:28:14So what exactly does it mean to you

0:28:14 > 0:28:17to work on such an important discovery?

0:28:17 > 0:28:20To be the person who sees these paintings coming out

0:28:20 > 0:28:23for the first time in over 500 years,

0:28:23 > 0:28:25it's every conservator's dream.

0:28:25 > 0:28:28And that dream will go on here

0:28:28 > 0:28:30as Jane continues the painstaking work

0:28:30 > 0:28:32of unlocking the mystery of these paintings.

0:28:37 > 0:28:39But now it's time for the auction

0:28:39 > 0:28:42at the saleroom of Rogers, Jones & Co in Cardiff.

0:28:44 > 0:28:47And as luck would have it, I'm with the auctioneer and boss, Ben.

0:28:47 > 0:28:51- Hello, Ben.- Hello. Croeso cynnes i Cymru.

0:28:51 > 0:28:54Which must mean, "Hello, Charlie, have a nice day."

0:28:54 > 0:28:56Not quite. A warm welcome to Wales, Charlie.

0:28:56 > 0:28:58A warm welcome to Wales. Well, thank you very much indeed.

0:28:58 > 0:29:02Now, Christie and Angharad went shopping with Phil Serrell

0:29:02 > 0:29:04and the first item they bought...

0:29:04 > 0:29:07And they are quite young, so I was quite surprised that

0:29:07 > 0:29:08they bought a pair of pole screens.

0:29:08 > 0:29:12- What do you think?- Made yesterday, probably, but rather nice.

0:29:12 > 0:29:14I think they've got a bit of class about them.

0:29:14 > 0:29:18- They are pretty good, aren't they? What about a value?- 60-90.

0:29:18 > 0:29:20Well, that's good, they paid £50.

0:29:20 > 0:29:23I think we're in the black on those.

0:29:23 > 0:29:25Oh, goody.

0:29:25 > 0:29:28Well, that's good. Second item is a little bit of silver.

0:29:28 > 0:29:30What do you think of that?

0:29:30 > 0:29:33Perfectly acceptable Victorian silver box.

0:29:33 > 0:29:34I think it's rather nice.

0:29:34 > 0:29:36Mab's for Mabel, I suppose.

0:29:36 > 0:29:38- One assumes. - What about a value on that?

0:29:38 > 0:29:4025-35, Charlie.

0:29:40 > 0:29:42Yeah, paid 45.

0:29:42 > 0:29:45Perhaps a little bit on the rich side.

0:29:45 > 0:29:48If Mab steps into the saleroom, we are in luck, aren't we?

0:29:48 > 0:29:50Now, this is quite fun, isn't it?

0:29:50 > 0:29:54This is the third item, Christie really liked this cocktail shaker.

0:29:54 > 0:29:57- I think it's great fun. - Do you?- A penguin cocktail shaker.

0:29:57 > 0:30:00- Yeah.- And cocktails, they're all the rage at the moment, aren't they?

0:30:00 > 0:30:02- Are they?- They are, or so they say.

0:30:02 > 0:30:04- Yeah?- Not on my wages, but...

0:30:06 > 0:30:07It's a fun, fun thing.

0:30:07 > 0:30:10What about a value? It hasn't really got any great age, has it?

0:30:10 > 0:30:13No, it's not got age, but does that matter too much?

0:30:13 > 0:30:15- No.- It's just a novelty item.

0:30:15 > 0:30:16Yeah. What about a value?

0:30:16 > 0:30:19- 30-40.- Yeah, well, paid 20.

0:30:19 > 0:30:21They are looking pretty good, aren't they?

0:30:21 > 0:30:22It's a positive start.

0:30:22 > 0:30:25Yeah. It may be that they won't need a bonus buy,

0:30:25 > 0:30:28but in case they do, let's have a look at it.

0:30:29 > 0:30:30Well, Christie and Angharad,

0:30:30 > 0:30:32you are probably a little nervous, aren't you?

0:30:32 > 0:30:35- A little bit. - You've given him £185.

0:30:35 > 0:30:40He's gone off to find something in which to put your penguin.

0:30:40 > 0:30:43Shall we have a look at Philip's penguin home?

0:30:43 > 0:30:46I think that's a lovely bit of burr walnut, 19th century.

0:30:46 > 0:30:48- It's a decanter box.- Is it?

0:30:48 > 0:30:50- Yeah.- Yeah.- And you said how much?

0:30:50 > 0:30:52- £40?- You're mean.

0:30:52 > 0:30:54- 60?- 60.

0:30:54 > 0:30:57- That's quite interesting, isn't it? - Yeah, because it cost me 50 quid.

0:30:57 > 0:30:58- I really like it. - You really like it.

0:30:58 > 0:31:00You really, really like it.

0:31:00 > 0:31:03- I really like it. I like the walnut. - It's ticking your boxes.

0:31:03 > 0:31:06It's ticking my boxes. I don't think Angharad will be impressed.

0:31:06 > 0:31:08I'm sure she's not, I just saw the face.

0:31:08 > 0:31:10Angharad, you're grimacing a little bit.

0:31:10 > 0:31:12Yeah, I can't see the use for it.

0:31:12 > 0:31:15I know you've already said what it's for, but...

0:31:15 > 0:31:17- Necklaces?- Charlie, I'll see you later on.

0:31:17 > 0:31:21Come back, Philip. Well, you don't have to make up your mind now.

0:31:21 > 0:31:22Wait until the auction.

0:31:22 > 0:31:24Meanwhile, let's see what the auctioneer thinks.

0:31:25 > 0:31:27Well, Phil went off shopping

0:31:27 > 0:31:30and bought a traditional English antique in walnut

0:31:30 > 0:31:33and I think it's a decanter box.

0:31:33 > 0:31:35- What do you think of that? - I think it's OK.

0:31:35 > 0:31:39It's neat, it's got a nice outer case, which is in good condition.

0:31:39 > 0:31:41Lacking a little bit of character, I think.

0:31:41 > 0:31:45There's no name or anything to stand it apart

0:31:45 > 0:31:48perhaps except for that campaign-style handle,

0:31:48 > 0:31:50- but, yeah, rather nice. - Value?- 40-60.

0:31:50 > 0:31:54£40-60, paid £50, so smack in the middle of your estimate.

0:31:54 > 0:31:58- Should be OK.- So moving on to the Blue team, Nathan and Ryan.

0:31:58 > 0:32:00They were with Thomas and they started off

0:32:00 > 0:32:02by buying a curling stone.

0:32:02 > 0:32:04It's OK, I mean, these are quite popular now.

0:32:04 > 0:32:06- Are they?- With doorstops and that sort of thing.

0:32:06 > 0:32:10- Yeah.- Regrettably there is just a piece missing from here

0:32:10 > 0:32:12and a couple of chips around the edge.

0:32:12 > 0:32:15Yeah. What about a value? Difficult thing to value, isn't it?

0:32:15 > 0:32:17£40-60, we've put on that one.

0:32:17 > 0:32:20Yeah, we paid 65, so...

0:32:20 > 0:32:22Could be on thin ice!

0:32:23 > 0:32:27Let's move on to the Doulton Lambeth tobacco jar.

0:32:27 > 0:32:29It's in cracking condition, isn't it?

0:32:29 > 0:32:32Yeah, lovely, and there are plenty of collectors out there

0:32:32 > 0:32:34for Doulton Lambeth. A good fun thing.

0:32:34 > 0:32:36- Yes, rather nice. - What about a value?

0:32:36 > 0:32:41- 30-40.- 30-40. Well, only paid £20.

0:32:41 > 0:32:43- In with a chance. - Yeah, well, that's good.

0:32:43 > 0:32:45Now, let's move on to the scoreboard.

0:32:45 > 0:32:47I think this has got a problem.

0:32:47 > 0:32:52- You tell me. - It's just a bit ordinary, really.

0:32:52 > 0:32:54It's not particularly old.

0:32:54 > 0:32:56The sliders are plastic.

0:32:56 > 0:32:59- Yeah.- I think they are going to struggle with this one.

0:32:59 > 0:33:02- What about a value?- £10-15.

0:33:02 > 0:33:04Well, they only paid 25, so...

0:33:04 > 0:33:06We need a break.

0:33:07 > 0:33:10They need a break, I think I nearly need a break,

0:33:10 > 0:33:12but they might need a bonus buy.

0:33:12 > 0:33:14Let's have a look at it.

0:33:14 > 0:33:20Nathan and Ryan gave Thomas Plant £190.

0:33:20 > 0:33:22So what do you think he's done with it?

0:33:22 > 0:33:23Has he bought Phil Serrell?

0:33:25 > 0:33:26Philip, are you there?

0:33:26 > 0:33:29Oh, come on, boys, what does it look like?

0:33:29 > 0:33:31It's a barrel.

0:33:31 > 0:33:32It's a barrel.

0:33:34 > 0:33:37- Well, Nathan, what do you think of it?- I really like it.

0:33:37 > 0:33:38I think it has a lot of charm.

0:33:38 > 0:33:41- Yeah.- I would certainly have it in my house.

0:33:41 > 0:33:44- Would you?- Yeah, I definitely would. I think it should do well.

0:33:44 > 0:33:47Good. Ryan, you're the expert on pub memorabilia.

0:33:47 > 0:33:49- Yeah.- How does this fit in your...?

0:33:49 > 0:33:51I'm actually looking for one of these as well.

0:33:51 > 0:33:53- Are you?- Yeah, it's definitely is something I like.

0:33:53 > 0:33:56But unfortunately there is one big hole in this.

0:33:56 > 0:33:59- It's bottomless. - Oh, the bottom has fallen out.

0:33:59 > 0:34:01You're not going to need it, to have it as a table.

0:34:01 > 0:34:06- What sort of age is it?- About 1920s, I would say, 1930s.

0:34:06 > 0:34:09Yeah, it looks it, too.

0:34:09 > 0:34:11What about having a stab at the value of it?

0:34:11 > 0:34:14- £60-80.- £60-80.

0:34:14 > 0:34:17Yeah, probably round about 50 marker, 40-50.

0:34:17 > 0:34:19- Round about 50?- Yeah.- Well, Thomas, what did you pay for it?

0:34:19 > 0:34:21- £50.- Nice one.

0:34:21 > 0:34:23That's good. Yeah.

0:34:23 > 0:34:26Anyway, chaps, you don't have to make up your mind now.

0:34:26 > 0:34:29Meanwhile, I wonder if the auctioneer has fallen in love with

0:34:29 > 0:34:31Thomas's rather tatty barrel.

0:34:32 > 0:34:35- What do you think? - It's a bottomless barrel.

0:34:37 > 0:34:39Not in the best condition.

0:34:39 > 0:34:42- What about a value?- 10-20?

0:34:42 > 0:34:44Ooh. Isn't that a trifle mean?

0:34:44 > 0:34:47- Do you think? - You don't like it, do you?

0:34:47 > 0:34:49Um, well, it's a bottomless barrel!

0:34:49 > 0:34:52What are you going to do with a bottomless barrel?

0:34:52 > 0:34:53Work on the rostrum.

0:34:53 > 0:34:56I tell you why, it's because Thomas paid £50 for it.

0:34:56 > 0:34:58£50?!

0:34:58 > 0:35:01- Is it full of beer? - No, no, but if it were,

0:35:01 > 0:35:03- it might make nearer the mark. - It might do.

0:35:03 > 0:35:07Ben, you will be doing a cracking job on the rostrum as always.

0:35:07 > 0:35:09And I have every faith in you

0:35:09 > 0:35:12getting huge money for this bottomless barrel.

0:35:12 > 0:35:14I'll try and earn my beer.

0:35:14 > 0:35:17Well, I'm not sure he will earn his beer,

0:35:17 > 0:35:18but it will be an interesting sale.

0:39:58 > 0:40:00- I'm amazed.- Ten bid.

0:40:00 > 0:40:03Thank you. £10, better than my bid, £10 is in the room.

0:40:05 > 0:40:07At £10. Is there 15?

0:40:07 > 0:40:09At £10. 12, if you like.

0:40:20 > 0:40:22Oh, no, no.

0:40:44 > 0:40:46It's a blue ball at five, isn't it?

0:40:46 > 0:40:48At five. Is everybody done at five?

0:40:48 > 0:40:50Last call at five. Hammer's up.

0:40:50 > 0:40:53£5.

0:40:53 > 0:40:56You started off with a profit of 15, and then you lost eight,

0:40:56 > 0:40:57which meant you were plus seven.

0:40:57 > 0:41:02You then lost 20, which makes you -£13.

0:41:02 > 0:41:05- It's not bad, is it? -£13.- Not bad.

0:41:05 > 0:41:07And you've got a beer barrel to go.

0:41:07 > 0:41:08The beer barrel is the way forward.

0:41:08 > 0:41:11- What do you reckon? - Yes, definitely going to go with it.

0:41:11 > 0:41:14Do you want to know the auctioneer's estimate or not? No.

0:41:14 > 0:41:16I'm not going to tell Thomas

0:41:16 > 0:41:18that the auctioneer's estimate is 10-20.

0:41:18 > 0:41:19Oh, sorry.

0:41:19 > 0:41:22£40. At £40, is there five?

0:41:22 > 0:41:23It must be full of beer. At £40.

0:41:23 > 0:41:25Is there five? At 40.

0:41:25 > 0:41:26Where is the five now?

0:41:26 > 0:41:28At 40.

0:41:28 > 0:41:30Any advance? At £40.

0:41:30 > 0:41:32Have we all done? At 40. Five.

0:41:32 > 0:41:3450. At 50.

0:41:34 > 0:41:36Everybody done then at 50?

0:41:38 > 0:41:39Well done!

0:41:39 > 0:41:42So you are down £13 only.

0:41:44 > 0:41:47Anyway, chaps, not a word to the Reds.

0:41:53 > 0:41:54As you can hear, teams,

0:41:54 > 0:41:57the auctioneer is still banging out profits,

0:41:57 > 0:41:59and in some cases losses.

0:41:59 > 0:42:01Sometimes, both teams make a profit.

0:42:01 > 0:42:03Sometimes, both teams make a loss.

0:42:03 > 0:42:07Today, one team has made a smidgen of a loss

0:42:07 > 0:42:11and the other team has made a thumping great profit.

0:42:11 > 0:42:13And the winners are, without a doubt, the Red team!

0:42:15 > 0:42:17Bravo, girls.

0:42:17 > 0:42:19Anyway, boys, you didn't do badly.

0:42:19 > 0:42:21You only lost £13.

0:42:21 > 0:42:23I mean, it was just that snooker board.

0:42:23 > 0:42:27- It was Thomas's idea to buy that! - What?!

0:42:27 > 0:42:29- But you have had fun, haven't you? - Definitely, yes.

0:42:29 > 0:42:30Really enjoyed it.

0:42:30 > 0:42:32Reds, that was just amazing.

0:42:32 > 0:42:34It was extraordinary.

0:42:34 > 0:42:36The pole screens cost £50.

0:42:36 > 0:42:37- How much did they make?- 150.

0:42:37 > 0:42:41150, a £100 profit.

0:42:41 > 0:42:44- Your dressing table box cost £45, made 70.- It did.

0:42:44 > 0:42:49Your cocktail shaker, which Philip loved so much, £60.

0:42:49 > 0:42:51Are you thinking of taking up antique dealing?

0:42:51 > 0:42:54- Definitely.- I bet you are.- I think we'd be very good at it.

0:42:54 > 0:42:56I think you would be absolutely brilliant at it.

0:42:56 > 0:42:58- They are stars.- They are stars.

0:42:58 > 0:43:00£165 profit.

0:43:00 > 0:43:03- Can we touch it?- You may touch it, and you can keep it.- Thank you.

0:43:03 > 0:43:05But of course that is a mere bagatelle

0:43:05 > 0:43:08compared with what is going to happen next.

0:43:08 > 0:43:12I have TWO golden gavels.

0:43:12 > 0:43:15- Take them!- Thank you.- Pin them!

0:43:15 > 0:43:18Well done, girls. We have all had fun, haven't we?

0:43:18 > 0:43:20And not everybody can win.
