00:00Hello and welcome to Bargain Hunt. But where are we today?
00:05It's a county known for its breathtaking countryside, historic cathedrals and fantastic
00:12food like this cracking crumbly cheese. And you can't have a Sunday lunch without one of these.
00:19Yes, we're in Yorkshire. And if you got that right, here's another question for you.
00:24What do you reckon this could be? It has a long metal handle and this end is full of holes.
00:31Any ideas? Well, don't strain that brain too hard. All will be revealed later.
00:37But first, let's go bargain hunting.
01:02Today our Reds and Blues will be hunting for a bargain at this antiques fair at Weatherby Racecourse.
01:07And there won't be time for horsing around. Here's the rules.
01:12They'll have £300 to spend and one hour on the clock. They've got to buy free items and one item
01:18must cost £75
01:20or more. And you know what? I'm going to chuck in a challenge for good measure.
01:25Then it's off to auction where the team with the biggest profit or smallest loss wins. Let's meet today's teams.
01:33Hello, I'm Sharon and this is my sister, Hayley. And we're here to be first over the line.
01:39So those Blues are better trot on. Oh, you like horses, do you?
01:43No, we definitely do, don't we? We love horses, yeah.
01:46Grandchildren ride, so the next generation are coming up. I'm going to say great-grandchildren,
01:50but you're not that old yet, are you? I'm not. What will you be on the hunt for today?
01:55I like jewellery, don't we? I would love to find an enameled brooch.
02:01Are you competitive? Yes, 100%. We're going to beat those Blues, aren't we?
02:06We are, yeah. Well, let's meet them, shall we? I'm Harley. And I'm Joe. He's bringing the poker face.
02:12He's driving the deals. So you're confident you can win? We're two of seven, so we know what it's
02:17like to compete against others, but only to come out on top. Tell me, what's on your shopping list?
02:24Ooh, a bit of silver. Yeah, and we want something with quality. Any tactics?
02:28I'll win the seller over, and then you drive the bargain. Prices down, profit up, that's what we want.
02:36Right, let's get the teams under starter's orders and dole out some dosh.
02:41Hello. Hello. Come on. How are you all? Yeah, good. Thank you.
02:46Well, it's a special day today. We've got the sisters against the brothers. I mean,
02:50who do you think is going to come out on top? The Blues don't lose.
02:55You've got it, haven't you? Well, I wish you the best of luck. But firstly,
02:58you're going to need some money, aren't you? Yes, please. £300. Thank you very much.
03:02I'll take that. You'll take that. And also £300 for you two.
03:08Secondly, of course, you're going to need a challenge. Thank you very much.
03:12One challenge. Thank you very much. And lastly, of course, you're going to need an expert.
03:16Well, your expert awaits, so away you go. We'll see you later.
03:21I wonder what they're looking for in an expert.
03:25Someone will encourage us to spend lots of money. Someone with an eye for quality.
03:30Someone who has high energy. Someone who's going to keep us on track.
03:34And someone who can keep us two in check. And hopefully.
03:38Woo! Racing with the Reds, it's Charles Hansen.
03:42Let me just tell you, I am loaded with energy.
03:45And with the Blues, it's Philip Serrell. Time to open my challenges.
03:50Which one is this? An item with a connection to horses.
03:54Woo! And it is? A piece of functional silver.
03:58Ooh! Right. Giddy up, teams. Your time starts now.
04:02Go! This is our hour, OK? Come on.
04:04We're getting an hour no more. Let's go.
04:06Born ready, Phil. Born ready. Ready to rumble.
04:10Both teams are raring to go, and something's already caught the Red's eye.
04:15Is that a little enamel hip flask at the back?
04:18With probably a silver collar, and I reckon it's about £1,900.
04:21And it's actually for scents. Hold on.
04:24And you smell very nice.
04:25That would be a good thing to buy.
04:27How much is your scent bottle?
04:28The scent bottle? I was going to say £110.
04:31Just hold it in your hands.
04:33There you go. Have a handle.
04:34Quality.
04:35So what we're looking for is a hallmark.
04:38So you open the lid up.
04:40Give me the lid.
04:41And if you look at the porcelain.
04:43So there's our hallmark.
04:45It's hallmarked with an anchor.
04:46Birmingham, OK?
04:47South of here.
04:48It's also hallmarked with a date letter F.
04:51So a 1906, we're almost spot on, a Japanese porcelain scent bottle.
04:57Right.
04:58I'd want to buy it though for about 60 quid.
05:00Early days, I think it's a bit too much money for us.
05:03To me, it's a slow trot.
05:04Yeah, a bit.
05:05Let's walk on.
05:06OK.
05:07It's a no from the Reds.
05:09But have the Blues sniffed out their first deal of the day?
05:13Do you like that?
05:14Oh, yeah, I do like that.
05:16That speaks to us.
05:17What does it say?
05:19Tea?
05:20Erm...
05:21How do you know that?
05:22He's a smart boy, he's our Joe.
05:24I just feel like, well, I don't know.
05:27Or just a lucky guess.
05:29Well, it's a tea caddy.
05:30OK, so it's quite a small tea caddy.
05:32And a lot of these were produced in the 18th century.
05:35But you can tell that this is Sampson, which is a French firm.
05:40There's a clue. Look, Paris.
05:41Oh, Paris, yeah.
05:42And it's a sweet little tea caddy.
05:44But what I love about it, it's armorial.
05:47So it's got someone's coat of arms on there.
05:49All right.
05:49And if we can find out whose sort of motto that is,
05:54you can trace it to an important family.
05:56OK.
05:56Like the Duke of Devonshire or whatever.
05:58It just adds to it, you know?
06:00Would that be the original stopper?
06:01Because it seems quite loose, is that?
06:03No.
06:03OK.
06:03And one of the ways you can tell is, look at that round there.
06:08Can you see that, the way that's kind of gilded across there?
06:11Wow.
06:11Yeah.
06:12But then you've got exactly the same heel.
06:14So detailed.
06:15Yeah, it matches.
06:16So I think that's always been there.
06:18But I think that's actually really quite...
06:21Yeah.
06:21This excites me, Phil.
06:22I've got a good feeling about this.
06:23You like that?
06:24Yeah.
06:24Well, you'd better go and speak to the lady nicely.
06:26I'd better not smash it.
06:27No, you'd better not smash it.
06:29OK, so how much are we looking at for this?
06:32Well, I think I've got £35 on it.
06:35It's a bit pricier for us, OK?
06:37And you've got to remember that you are on the blue team with us.
06:40The next scarf.
06:41The glasses.
06:41Prophetic this morning, wasn't it?
06:42No, I think you look absolutely lovely.
06:45OK.
06:45And I think we'd like a lovely price for it.
06:48So maybe...
06:48You are just full of chat, aren't you?
06:50Yeah.
06:50But I'd kind of sort of like, you know, 24 around.
06:54What about 19?
06:55Give us a chance.
06:56Meet us at 19.
06:57Just below the 20.
06:59OK.
07:00Yeah, go on.
07:01We've got a deal.
07:01Shake our hand.
07:03Who said flattery will get you nowhere?
07:05Price paid £19.
07:07Well done, team.
07:09Back to the Reds.
07:10And they're looking to make some luck of their own.
07:14Hey, what about that?
07:16The little horseshoe for our challenge.
07:18Oh, God.
07:19The little horseshoe-y thing.
07:21Yeah.
07:22Batten hook.
07:22Excuse me.
07:23That's what it is.
07:24Oh, is it?
07:25Let's have a look at it.
07:26But it folds out.
07:27I like it.
07:28I quite like it.
07:29What do you think?
07:30I really like that.
07:31Have a feel of it.
07:32Years ago, we had these dressing table sets with all the accoutrements on.
07:37But we also had things that you'd have travelled around with to unfasten your boots and your buttons.
07:44And that's what this is.
07:45But it's beautiful.
07:46It would have pulled at the button to have dislodged it.
07:49OK.
07:50It's got a nice tactile look.
07:51That nice ring end looks to be original.
07:55What I'm looking for.
07:56Can you see on there?
07:57You've got some very faint impressions.
08:00Over the years, it's worn off.
08:02Let's see what we've got.
08:03So it's Horn Mott with a D.
08:05Yeah.
08:06And I'm trying to work out what the assay office is.
08:10And the marks are so badly rubbed.
08:12I think it's Birmingham made A, B, C, D, which would make Edwardian.
08:17So it's 19.04.
08:20I quite rate this.
08:21What's your best price on it?
08:2365.
08:24If we offered 40.
08:25If you make it 45.
08:27Oh, my God.
08:28Now we've got maybe a deal on our hands.
08:30Right.
08:30Personally, I think it's a cracker.
08:33I would buy that.
08:34Who said?
08:35I would.
08:36OK.
08:37Are you in the saddle?
08:38Yes.
08:38We're in the saddle.
08:39We're in the saddle.
08:40We're understatus orders and we're off.
08:41Yes, please.
08:42We'll take it.
08:44My challenge was an item with a connection to horses.
08:47So it's a big tick from me.
08:50Challenge done.
08:51First challenge done.
08:52Not the big spend yet, though.
08:53No.
08:54That's around the corner.
08:55It's neck and neck with 11 minutes on the clock.
08:58But the Blues are chomping at the bit.
09:00And I've spotted a Victorian double-ended scent bottle.
09:05Let me just tell you a couple of things, right?
09:07First of all, that top should be all be gilded.
09:09And you can see the gilding's worn off.
09:11Right, yeah.
09:11It's just handling over 120.
09:12Yeah, absolutely right.
09:13And that's all acceptable, by the way.
09:15Yeah.
09:15The other thing about this that is actually quite unusual is that it's got its stopper.
09:22Oh, right, yeah.
09:23So 90% of these, they'd have just been lost through the fullness of time.
09:27Stopper intact.
09:28Can't see this being cheap.
09:3090 would be the best on that, which is a good price for something more than.
09:33Mm, not too sure on this one.
09:35Do you like it or not?
09:36I'm not keen.
09:37So if you don't like it, that's done.
09:39Whilst the hunt continues, let's nip over to the Reds and see what Hayley has spotted.
09:45I like this.
09:47Yeah.
09:47That's nice.
09:48Look.
09:49So why do you like this, then?
09:51I just like that.
09:51It's the type of, like, little dish that you could have it anywhere.
09:54You could have it in your living room.
09:56Give it to Sharon.
09:57Sharon's a deco-layer.
09:58Sharon, what do you think?
09:59I don't think Sharon's quite so keen.
10:01So Sharon, it's what we call Moorcroft William pomegranate pattern with that gorgeous fanciful bird.
10:08On the back, what's the back of the mark like?
10:11So it's quite a, it's a later piece, but Moorcroft has really, I think, caught the public imagination.
10:17It's a heritage factory and it's born in Staffordshire.
10:21Are they more popular when they're a small item?
10:23I think trinket dishes often outperform because you can put them onto a mantelpiece.
10:28Yeah.
10:29Into small cabinets.
10:30So let me finger over the actual surface.
10:33You'll feel the raised lines.
10:35That's called tube lining and Moorcroft was renowned for that.
10:39How much is it?
10:4034.
10:41If you bought it for 25 pounds, you might get 40 pounds for it.
10:45You might get 50 on a good day.
10:48Shall we ask how much she'll?
10:49You could do.
10:50Yeah.
10:50Hello, madam.
10:51Madam, we'd like your Moorcroft dish.
10:53The question is?
10:54How much is it?
10:55I can do it for 28.
10:5728 pounds.
10:59It's not a lot, but it's whether you feel, Shazza, we can do better and bigger.
11:03I think we can do better.
11:04I think we're probably only looking at probably six or seven quid profit, aren't we?
11:08Hey, a profit's a profit, Sharon.
11:10And Charles isn't letting that go easily.
11:13Yeah.
11:14Can we perhaps reserve this?
11:16I should put it behind.
11:17Is that OK?
11:17No, keep it on display.
11:18We can just perhaps give us half an hour or so.
11:21Yeah.
11:21Thank you for your side.
11:23OK.
11:23All right.
11:24Yeah.
11:25So it's a no for now.
11:28Back with the blues.
11:29What have you got there, Phil?
11:31I love things like this.
11:32This is just a little nutmeg grater, right?
11:34And in the 19th century, you carried nutmeg with you and you grated it into your drinks and whatever.
11:40Oh, OK.
11:40And I suspect this comes off and you keep your nutmeg in there and then you grate it.
11:46Functional?
11:47Yeah, it is very functional.
11:49Great for my challenge.
11:51It's also got a very functional price on it.
11:54How much is it?
11:55Well, it is £475.
11:58Ouch.
11:59Don't worry, boys.
12:00There's still time as we're halfway through the shop.
12:03Over with the red team, Charles has spotted another buyer making a move on the Moorcroft.
12:08You weren't tricking us, were you?
12:09No, he was going to pay £30 for us.
12:11Well, we are very grateful, aren't we?
12:13Yeah, we are really grateful.
12:15So, it's in good condition.
12:17Yeah.
12:18It's finch and berries.
12:20That's right, the finch and the berries there.
12:21So, is it a finch?
12:22Yeah.
12:23That's our birdie on there.
12:24Yeah, that's lovely.
12:25I think I've upset somebody who was all set to buy it.
12:27Oh, I'm sorry.
12:28Keep your head down.
12:29No one will notice.
12:31Yeah.
12:31£28.
12:32Head down, away we go.
12:33That is number two for...
12:35The team were lucky there.
12:36That's their second item.
12:38Very good.
12:40Give me a high five.
12:41Brilliant.
12:42Oh, I say two down.
12:43The big one to go.
12:45While both teams continue shopping, it's a good time for me to take a break, as I have a mystery
12:50to solve.
12:51I hope the people at the fair can help me.
12:56So, let's take a look at it.
12:58It's silver-plated, circa 1930s, 1940s.
13:03At one end, you've got a plunger, and at the other end, you've got an acorn-shaped bowl.
13:09It's perforated.
13:10There's little holes all around it.
13:12There's a bayonet fitting to keep it together.
13:14And inside, it's absolutely empty.
13:18Have you got any idea what it might be?
13:20Put something in, like herbs or something.
13:23Oh, something to fizz the drink.
13:26Is it a medical suppository?
13:29Is it a perfume pump?
13:32A whisker?
13:35Is it some sort of a grater, not my grater?
13:38I think this lot could do with a clue.
13:40It's an accessory used for something Yorkshire is famous for.
13:44A tea strainer?
13:45Ooh, close.
13:47It's like some kind of infuser.
13:50Yes, it is a tea infuser.
13:52This type of design first started in 1920s in Germany.
13:57But this model, I'd say, is a little bit later.
14:00And, of course, it was made in England.
14:03A tea infuser?
14:04Yeah.
14:05That's not medical, is it?
14:07Oh, really?
14:07I would never have got that.
14:09Our love affair with tea goes back to the 17th century.
14:13Ladies began to host private, sophisticated gatherings
14:16that were known as tea salons.
14:18But tea weren't cheap back then.
14:21It was imported from China.
14:23And aside from the cost, there was another problem with tea drinking.
14:27It's hard to imagine enjoying a gritty cuppa.
14:30But in the early days of tea drinking, it was quite normal to drink tea
14:35with leaves and all.
14:38To solve the problem, tea strainers were invented.
14:42In the 17th century, there was the moat spoon.
14:45This was followed by the Victorian tea strainer, which we still see today.
14:50And then came the first tea infuser.
14:53Tea infusers was a whole new ball game.
14:57Not only did they solve the leaf problem, but they allowed people to make a cup of tea as strong
15:04or as weak as they liked.
15:07And our 1930s tea infuser, with a plunger, took things to the next level.
15:13This clever little gadget infuses and compresses the tea.
15:17Now, let me show you how it works.
15:19Firstly, you'd get some tea, loose tea, and you'd drop it into this little acorn-shaped bowl, like so.
15:28Screw the top back on.
15:30And then you'd simply drop it into a cup of hot water and leave it to steep.
15:35You can decide how long.
15:38I like mine quite strong.
15:39A vintage infuser can be picked up for around 20 to 50 pounds.
15:44And if you find an earlier German-designed Bauhaus example, you'll really be onto a winner.
15:50They're much rarer and will fetch in the region of 500 pounds.
15:55Now, back to my cuppa.
15:57So once you're ready, you push in the plunger and release the flavours.
16:02That also stops any pesky leaves from escaping.
16:06Add sugar to taste, spot a milk, stir, and then you have a nice, clear brew.
16:18Couldn't be better.
16:22Right, back to the shopping.
16:24With 30 minutes left and one buy still to find, the Reds are on the final furlong.
16:30But the Blues are still chasing down two items, including my big spend and some functional silver.
16:38So, this is a piece of hallmark silver.
16:41The hallmark's just there, it's rubbed out.
16:44Can you see the lion pass on the side?
16:46Yes, it's kind of rubbed out in the middle, but you can still make it out.
16:48Oh, yeah.
16:49And then you've got the Georgian head.
16:50Mm-hmm.
16:51I would think this probably dates to about 1810, 1820, so it's late Georgian.
16:57It's a condition for its head.
16:58It's lovely.
16:59Piquet is when you bang little gold or silver nails into something.
17:04Oh, okay.
17:04That's almost trying to look like a piquet decoration, and I think that's lovely.
17:09And the great thing, again, we've got a bit of an armorial theme going on,
17:14because you've got another armorial there.
17:16Yeah.
17:16And what are we thinking about profit at auction?
17:19If you can get that for £75, I think it stands a chance.
17:25Right.
17:25Can't argue that that's not functional.
17:27Oh, it looks pretty functional to me.
17:29And you can't...
17:29What could you have in that?
17:30Cream?
17:31Anything.
17:31Yeah, absolutely.
17:32Gravy.
17:32Well, it would be cream.
17:33Gravy.
17:33Yorkshire.
17:34Gravy.
17:35Gravy.
17:36Anyway, swiftly moving on.
17:37Yeah, back to the game.
17:38Yeah.
17:38Okay, I quite like that.
17:39So, what would your best price be on this?
17:4375 is an absolute death on it.
17:45Right, 75.
17:46Okay.
17:47To be honest, I think it's £75.
17:48It ticks off both challenges and the big spend.
17:51It does that.
17:53I'm sorry.
17:53That's the one.
17:54That's the one.
17:54Let's shake hands.
17:56Nice work, Blues.
17:57That's your big spend and your functional silver challenge done in one.
18:02So, this is a key question now.
18:05Are you chips with curry sauce or chips with gravy?
18:09Oh, I like a chips, cheese and gravy.
18:12Chips, cheese and gravy, yeah.
18:13That's an all-than thing.
18:14Chips, cheese and gravy?
18:15Have you never tried it, Phil?
18:16No, no, no.
18:17But what are you doing after this?
18:18Let's go.
18:18Let's go.
18:20Hold your horses, boys.
18:21You still have your third item to find.
18:24As do sisters Sharon and Hayley, who are looking at this treasure trove for their big spend.
18:29So, it's a gorgeous hip flask.
18:31If you are out in the field, you may have chunked from this.
18:35I would now.
18:36Would you?
18:37Yeah.
18:37What on the farm?
18:38Yeah.
18:38Good for you.
18:39One of those in your pocket.
18:40So, the way it works is very easy.
18:42We take the sleeve off.
18:43You take the hip flask for me.
18:45Open the lid.
18:47And then pour.
18:48And your drink.
18:49And cheers.
18:50Cheers.
18:51Cheers.
18:51What I love about this is the fact it's silver gilt.
18:57And the quality is exquisite.
19:00That silver interior.
19:02Look at the hallmarks.
19:03So, just round there, those all important hallmarks which correspond to the mushroom lid.
19:09Oh, yeah.
19:10Made by James Dixon and sands.
19:12One of the leading silversmiths of Sheffield.
19:14What year's that?
19:161912.
19:161912.
19:17The leather is in nice order, not too dry.
19:21We just need a price.
19:23And the man's over there.
19:24Sir, you look a very kind man.
19:26I added up for 220.
19:27How much?
19:28220.
19:29And what's the absolute death?
19:31But the actual death, and that's it, is 150.
19:36Mark it for now, Anna.
19:37Do you agree with that?
19:37Exactly where it is.
19:39Just take a quick drink for Yorkshire.
19:40Go on.
19:41One quick drink.
19:42There we go.
19:43We'll pretend we're just, you know, feeding.
19:45There we go.
19:46We're off, okay?
19:46Cheers.
19:47Thanks a lot.
19:47Cheers.
19:48I feel better for that.
19:50The same can't be said for the blues.
19:52Phil's giving them some stick.
19:54So, what is that for, then?
19:59I don't know, I have no idea.
20:00You were trying to look at the label, then, weren't you?
20:02No, I don't know.
20:03I know, you were trying to look at the label.
20:04My instinct is to say that it plugs something.
20:07I don't know.
20:08It's called a fid, or a marlin spike.
20:10Right, okay.
20:11And rope makers used to use these.
20:14And what you would do, you know when you've got a rope is twined or plaited?
20:18Yeah.
20:18And you wanted to splice something into it?
20:21You used to put that in, and it used to open up the rope.
20:25That's really interesting.
20:28Do you know, I like the way you said that, because it did look really interesting.
20:31No, so, I mean, again, it's a bit of social history.
20:36£75 for a stick.
20:37No, it's not good for us.
20:38It's heavy on price and weight.
20:40£75 for a stick.
20:42Leave it then, lads.
20:43With 15 minutes to go, the Reds still need their big spend,
20:47and they're eyeing up some jewellery.
20:49I like that ring there, the chest of 1908.
20:51Oh, that is beautiful.
20:53It's Chester Hallmarked.
20:54It's very small.
20:56It is.
20:56It's not to fit anybody.
20:58Look at that.
20:59Oh, look.
20:59Oh, my God, look at that.
21:00It matches the ring.
21:01Just show that hand there, look.
21:02What do you think?
21:03It's nice.
21:04Let's take it off your finger.
21:06So, we're looking for the all-important mark of Chester.
21:09Yeah.
21:09The city mark.
21:11We've got the city mark on there.
21:14It is nine carat gold, so you've actually got a bit more of the suffrage head about this.
21:19I think you've got two amethysts flanking a central round brilliant garnet interspersed
21:26with diamonds, and this gorgeous Edwardian, gallery-tiered, pierced shoulder.
21:32Pretty ring.
21:34How much is it?
21:36250.
21:37Right.
21:37But we can do something.
21:38Yeah.
21:39What's the absolute death on this?
21:40150.
21:41Excuse me.
21:42150.
21:42There you go.
21:43So, straightaway £100 down.
21:45But do you see a margin in that for us?
21:47It's proper vintage.
21:49It's now antique jewellery.
21:51It might make between £100 and £200.
21:54It's got legs to run.
21:55Never mind that.
21:57You'll be running out of time soon.
21:59Just food for thought, isn't it?
22:00Shall we think about it?
22:02Oh, heck.
22:03If we park it for half an hour, we are truly grateful.
22:06We are truly grateful.
22:07Thank you for your time.
22:08We appreciate it.
22:10It's another item parked.
22:12Over with the blues.
22:14What's Phil found?
22:16I think these things are interesting, chaps.
22:18Oh, what are they?
22:19Oh, wow.
22:19They're old leashes and deeds.
22:21Yeah.
22:22And wills and all that sort of stuff.
22:24I like the old parchment look of it and something a little bit different.
22:30I like that.
22:31That's the seal.
22:32Oh, yeah.
22:34Would that be a coat of arms or is that a crest?
22:36No, that's a stamp.
22:37When you had an indenture, it was done under seal.
22:41There's the seal and you had to pay for the privilege.
22:43Do you know what?
22:44I could live with that framed.
22:46Yeah, I was thinking the same.
22:48It'd be a nice, like, talking point in a house.
22:50Yeah.
22:51What kind of age does this have on it?
22:53Well, it'd have a date somewhere.
22:55Yeah, I was trying to look for it then.
22:56I would think it's 19th century somewhere.
22:58Well, it's up here, isn't it?
22:59Oh, here we are.
23:04August 1876.
23:05Wow.
23:06Shall we give it a whirl?
23:07Shall we have a go?
23:08I think you've got two different aspects here.
23:11If you want something for interest, I think this.
23:14The Duke of Northumberland one is really, really interesting for someone to sit down and research it.
23:19I think this one is kind of much more decorative.
23:24Yeah, I agree.
23:25And, you know, that framed up on someone's wall would look quite nice.
23:31If you could buy the two, there's two we'd like.
23:37Right.
23:38See, that one, this one was 18 and that one's 28.
23:42I'll do 30 for the lot.
23:44There you are, 30 for the lot.
23:45What do you think?
23:46I think you've got to try and get them to 29.
23:49Do that.
23:5029, you've got a deal.
23:52Shake the man's hand.
23:53Thank you very much.
23:54Deal sealed for the Blues as they complete their shop with the 19th century legal documents.
24:00With just a few minutes to spare, over with the Reds and with time ticking, they're making a run for
24:06it.
24:07It's still here.
24:09Thank goodness for that.
24:10Oh, yes.
24:11I see it.
24:12There it is.
24:12Oh, yes, there.
24:13There, there.
24:13Happy?
24:15Yeah.
24:15I'm really happy.
24:16Yeah.
24:16Where's he gone, the dealer?
24:18Oh, hi.
24:18He's over there, sir.
24:19We're back with about a minute or two to spare.
24:23And we confirmed 150.
24:26Is that your absolute best?
24:28Anything else you can get us down?
24:29I can just see a bit of a move.
24:30170.
24:31No.
24:32170?
24:33He's going up.
24:34I think let's do a buy me now.
24:39A 150.
24:39And at 150, the first time, second, third and final time, our hour is going, going, gone.
24:45Hold your horses, your shopping's over.
24:47The Reds crossed the finish line with a hallmarked silver and leather hip flask, completing their
24:53big spend challenge.
24:54I'll drink to that.
24:56Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
24:59They started with my challenge, an item with a connection to horses,
25:03and negotiated £45 for a silver horseshoe buttonhook.
25:09They dished out £28 on a Moorcroft finches and fruit pattern plate.
25:14And their silver and leather hip flask cost £150.
25:19No small shot.
25:20It was their big spend.
25:23Sharon, Hayley, Charles, how did it go?
25:28Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.
25:29Great day, thank you.
25:30Yeah, good fun.
25:31Good team.
25:32Amazing.
25:32We were in the saddle and we were moving.
25:35It was great.
25:35Yeah, we were on it.
25:36Good expert.
25:38Brilliant.
25:39Good job we got double doors in.
25:42Never get his head out them doors.
25:43They're kind of compliments.
25:44Tell me, Sharon, what was your favourite item?
25:46It was actually the silver horseshoe hook.
25:49The boot hook?
25:50Yeah, yeah.
25:51You can't go wrong.
25:52What do you think is going to make the biggest profit?
25:54Same thing.
25:55Oh, gosh.
25:56Yeah, really confident on that one.
25:57You're confident on that one, aren't you?
25:59Yep.
25:59Anyway, moving on to Hayley.
26:01What's your favourite item?
26:03Dare to say it, but silver horseshoe.
26:05Oh, gosh.
26:05And what do you think is going to bring you the biggest profit?
26:08The Moorcroft plate.
26:09The little bit of Moorcroft.
26:11Yeah, that was lovely.
26:11That one nice.
26:12Yeah.
26:12So how much money have you got left?
26:14£77.
26:15If you can hand that over to Charles.
26:16Thank you so much.
26:17We're feeling flusher and flusher.
26:19What are you going to do with it?
26:20Well, I think, you know, the sparkle, the shimmer of my Yorkshire lassos.
26:25Something to really radiate colour and bring profit.
26:28Well, I like the sound of that.
26:30So while Charles goes off to buy his bonus buy,
26:32let's remind ourselves what the blue team bought.
26:35First, they spent £19 on their 19th century tea caddy.
26:40Then ticked off the big spend and my challenge of a piece of functional silver
26:45with a Georgian cream jug, price paid £75.
26:50And they finished their shop with some historic deeds
26:53and a sealed indenture from 1876 for the noble sum of £29.
27:00Harley, Joe, Phil.
27:04What a team.
27:05Dream team.
27:06Well, you took the words right out of me now.
27:08What a team.
27:09They were great fun, great fun.
27:11And it was really, it was actually good fun working with you.
27:14Yeah, we had a good laugh.
27:15Well, we've enjoyed it.
27:15Yeah, we have really enjoyed it.
27:16What's your favourite buy?
27:18I'd say the tea caddy.
27:20I've got a good feeling about that one, yeah.
27:22It's nice, that, yeah.
27:22What do you think it's going to bring in the biggest profit?
27:24I think the tea caddy.
27:25I think we got that for £19.
27:27I think it's going to do well.
27:28It's all about the tea caddy.
27:30It is, yeah.
27:31So tell me, Joe, what's your favourite item?
27:32I think it was the historic deeds.
27:34I think there's a great story behind it.
27:35What do you think it's going to bring in the biggest profit?
27:37I must say, I think it is the tea caddy, yeah.
27:39It's the tea caddy.
27:40I think it's decorative, as well as a great price, so.
27:43Tell me, how much money did you spend?
27:45£123 altogether.
27:46£123, that should leave £177.
27:48It does, yeah.
27:49Well, there's a lot of money there, Phil.
27:50Tell me, what are you going to do with it?
27:51Well, they did mention something.
27:53I'm going to go and see if I can find it.
27:54Good.
27:55Interesting.
27:56So, while Phil goes off to buy his bonus buy, I'm off to the auction.
28:02We've come to Newbold, near Beverley, where Caroline Hawley is our auctioneer.
28:07Hello, Caroline.
28:08Hello, Danny.
28:09What a pleasure to be here.
28:11Great to have you.
28:12Well, we're going to start with the Reds, who was Hayley and Sharon.
28:16The first item that the team bought was this little silver folding horseshoe buttonhook.
28:20I love it.
28:21And, of course, it would have hung on a watch chain.
28:241903 Birmingham, gorgeous thing, and I put 20 to 40 on it.
28:28They paid 45, a little bit out of your estimation, but it's in the right ballpark.
28:32A little bit, but with a fair wind, I think that'll make a nice present for somebody.
28:36It's a lovely thing.
28:36OK. Moving on to the second item.
28:38I mean, this is a lovely piece of Moorcroft.
28:40It's got the lovely pattern, finches and fruit.
28:43Very desirable.
28:44It is. Designed by Sally Tuffin, of course.
28:47Perfect condition.
28:48I think it's gorgeous.
28:49There's loads of Moorcroft collectors out there.
28:52£30 to £50.
28:53They pay 28.
28:54I mean, they'd be happy with that.
28:56Seems like a good buy.
28:57The last item that the team bought was this hip flask.
29:01Leather and silver.
29:03Very nice hallmarks.
29:05What do you make of it, Caroline?
29:06I think it's great.
29:07I think it's really good quality.
29:09Heavy gauge silver.
29:10It's in good condition.
29:12It's Sheffield 1912.
29:14Maker James Dixon.
29:16I've put £80 to £120.
29:18They bought it for £150.
29:19Right.
29:20I still think they're in with a chance.
29:21That's it for the Reds.
29:22Moving across to the Blues.
29:24You had Joe and Harley.
29:25The first item that they bought was this 19th century Samson of Paris tea caddy.
29:30I think it's rather charming with the armorial to the front.
29:34It's a lovely thing.
29:35It's in great condition.
29:37And what I really love about it is the Latin motto Fortis in Bello, which is brave in battle.
30:14Which it needs to be.
30:15I love to be able to date it fully and get the maker.
30:18But it's a beautiful thing.
30:20And I've put £60 to £80 on it.
30:23Well, they bought it at the top end of your estimate.
30:25It's their big spend.
30:26OK.
30:27They paid £75.
30:29Right.
30:29Could get there, couldn't it?
30:30I think it could well.
30:32Yes.
30:32Moving on to the third item.
30:34An 1876 sealed indenture together with various early 19th century deeds and accounts concerning
30:41Annick and the Duke of Northumberland.
30:43What do you make of this, Caroline?
30:45I think they're fascinating.
30:47This kind of historical document.
30:50I think it's wonderful.
30:51But sadly, that doesn't always transfer into hard cash.
30:54So, I've put £20 to £30 on them.
30:57Well, they paid £29.
31:00OK.
31:00You might have your work cut out.
31:01Fingers crossed.
31:03And we're straight in at £65, £70, £80, £90, £100, £110, £120, £130.
31:12Sharon, Hayley, Charles, how are you feeling?
31:15I'm brand-new.
31:16Really excited.
31:17Yeah, we're ready, Danny.
31:18We're ready.
31:18You're ready.
31:19You think you're going to make a profit?
31:20Yes.
31:21We'll get our best shot.
31:22The first item that will be coming up is a Hallmark silver button book.
31:26Nice thing.
31:27There's a lot of interest.
31:28It's coming up now.
31:29Let's see how it does.
31:30And this is gorgeous.
31:32It's a lovely thing.
31:34And we're straight in at £15, £20, £25.
31:38Need a bit more than that.
31:40£30, £30 in the room.
31:42At £30, £35, £40...
31:44Ooh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
31:46Where are you?
31:47It's gorgeous.
31:48£45, £50, sir.
31:50You're back in.
31:51Don't lose it for a fiver.
31:53£50.
31:53Oh!
31:54Yes!
31:54All done at £50.
31:58Yes!
31:59Very, very well done.
32:02That sold for £50.
32:04First lot, £5 profit.
32:06Your second lot that's coming up is the Moorcroft finches and fruit pattern dish.
32:11Here we go.
32:12Let's see how it does.
32:13Designed by Sally Tuffin.
32:15It's a lovely thing and we're in at £35, £45.
32:19Keep going.
32:20You're in profit.
32:20Come on, come on, come on.
32:21£50 I'm seeking for this bit of Moorcroft.
32:24All done.
32:25It's here to sell at £45.
32:30Yes!
32:30Very, very well done.
32:33That's just sold for £45.
32:35You bought it for £28.
32:36That is a profit of £17.
32:39So you're at plus £22.
32:41We're on for the big one, aren't we?
32:43You're on for the big one.
32:44You're doing very well.
32:45We've got one more item to go.
32:47Coming back to Yorkshire.
32:48Your third item that's coming up is the Hallmarked silver and leather mounted hip flants.
32:53Here we go.
32:54It's a really good quality thing.
32:56I've got bids on the sheets.
32:58I've got to start you at £95.
33:01Good start.
33:02Come on.
33:03Good start.
33:04£100, thank you.
33:05In the room, £100.
33:06It's a good thing.
33:07£110, thank you.
33:09£120, thank you, sir.
33:11Very wise.
33:12£120, £130.
33:13Come on, come on.
33:14£40.
33:15Just one more.
33:16It's a good thing.
33:17£140.
33:18£150.
33:19Don't lose it for a tenner.
33:20£150.
33:21I'm fearing you.
33:22Come on, come on, come on.
33:24£150 I have.
33:25You'll make someone very happy.
33:27£155.
33:28Just £5, £5.
33:30All done.
33:31A £150.
33:34Gavels raised.
33:36Oh!
33:37Oh, forgive him.
33:39That's a shame.
33:39One bid away from a golden gavel.
33:41You bought it for £150.
33:42It's sold for £150.
33:43That's all right.
33:44But you're still in profit.
33:46You're £22 up.
33:48It's not all over yet.
33:51It's not all over yet.
33:52It's down to the man himself.
33:54Charles, go and get your bonus, boy.
33:56Sharon, Hayley, close your eyes.
33:58He's back.
34:00Charles, take it away.
34:01OK.
34:02So, ladies, I know you like jewellery.
34:04And the luck of our Yorkshire love,
34:07Anansi, is my four-leaf enamel silver clover.
34:12Look at the enameling.
34:14It captures the height of the art and the vogue,
34:17and it captures the early 20th century.
34:20Hallmark for Birmingham, 1909.
34:23Do you like it?
34:24I love it.
34:25I do, but what price did you capture it at?
34:29I love a lucky number, and seven and seven.
34:32It's 77.
34:33Exactly.
34:34Is that what you pay?
34:35Yeah.
34:35So, come on.
34:36I'd guide it between 70 and 100 pounds.
34:39Really?
34:40You're hanging well with it, in my opinion.
34:41Well, Charles, you've sold it to me,
34:44but it's not down to me, it's down to you two.
34:46So, what's your decision?
34:48What do I do?
34:49I love it.
34:49I love it.
34:50If you love it, that's good enough for me.
34:52We'll go with it.
34:53Yeah.
34:53OK, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks
34:56about Charles' bonus buy.
34:59I think it's gorgeous.
35:00Silver and enamel.
35:02Mm-hm.
35:03Birmingham, 1909.
35:04It's really rather charming, and it's a four-leaf clover.
35:09Bit of luck, and it's a silver chain.
35:11Yeah.
35:11What do you estimate it at?
35:1350 to 80.
35:14Well, he paid 77 pounds, so he's within your estimation.
35:17Yes, he is.
35:18Yeah.
35:19So, I've seen the auctioneer.
35:22She likes it.
35:23Brilliant.
35:24Estimation, 50 to 80.
35:26Ooh.
35:27Well, it's in the right ballpark.
35:29It's coming up now.
35:30Let's see how it does.
35:31It's really rather lovely, and I'm looking for 50 pounds.
35:35Who's going to start me?
35:3650 pounds.
35:3720 to go.
35:38Come along.
35:39It's not where we start.
35:40It's where we fail.
35:41Ooh, ooh.
35:41We've got beds everywhere.
35:42Like a Mexican wave.
35:4435, 40, 45, 50.
35:47Where are you?
35:48It's a good thing.
35:4950, 50.
35:50I have 55.
35:51Come on.
35:52Come on.

35:56Come on.
35:57Go on.
35:5865, 70.
36:00Just one more.
36:02Are we done at 70 pounds?
36:05All done.
36:09Sadly, just a little bit below.
36:11You paid 77 pounds for it, Charles.
36:12It sold for 70.
36:14That's a seven pound deficit.
36:15You was at plus 22.
36:17You're now at plus 15.
36:20Very well done.
36:21It's a profit.
36:21It's a profit.
36:23And that's what it's all about in this game.
36:30Joe, Harley, Phil, how are you all feeling?
36:33Confident, actually.
36:34Good.
36:34I've got the faith in Phil.
36:36I'm ready to make a profit.
36:37Good.
36:37Actually, I think we're going to do all right.
36:39I hope we're going to do all right.
36:40And that's the name of the game, really, isn't it?
36:42Yes.
36:42Yeah.
36:43Your first item is the Samson of Paris Porcelain Tea Caddy.
36:46It's coming up now.
36:47Inscribed Fortis in Bellow, brave in battle.

37:5280.
37:53Yes!
37:54Not a lot of money for a Georgian creamer.

38:0090.
38:01Come on.
38:01We're in York.

38:34Best of luck.
38:35Here it comes.
38:36Let's see how it does.
38:371876 sealed indenture, together with various early 19th century deeds and accounts.
38:45Very interesting indeed.
38:46And we're straight in at 20.
38:4820 pounds.
38:4925.
38:4925.
38:5025.
38:51Come on, one more.
38:51One of a kind.
38:5230.
38:5335.
38:54Oh, my God.
38:5740.
38:57In the room at 40.
38:5945.

39:06Oh, I get it.
39:08Very well done.
39:09You was at 111.
39:12You've just made a profit of 16 pound.
39:14You're now at 127 pound.
39:17That's a great score.
39:17Oh, Phil.
39:19Hold on.
39:20Hold on, Arlie.
39:21It's not over yet.
39:22Oh, sorry.
39:23One more.
39:24There's one more.
39:24Oh, yeah, of course.
39:25Bonus bite.
39:26Phil, go and get it.
39:27Close your...
39:27Hey, get your eyes closed.
39:29Yeah.
39:29Ready?
39:30Yeah.
39:31So, I bought this little snuff box.
39:34It's burr warmer, so it's just lovely timber.
39:36Mmm.
39:37I paid 59 pounds for it.
39:39Okay.
39:40And what do you think somebody might purchase that for?
39:42The right person might pay 60 to 90 quid for it, but you need two right people who lift
39:47it.
39:47If they're not here, it might be 35, 40 quid.
39:50Yeah.
39:50Let's just do it.
39:51Yeah.
39:51We'll go for it.
39:52Are you going for it?
39:53Yeah, we're going to go for it.
39:54Well, you've got plenty of money and you've got golden gavels.
39:56Yeah.
39:57Yeah?
39:57Okay.
39:58Well, they're going with it, so let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Phil's bonus
40:02buy.
40:04Well, it's not uncommon.
40:06It's burr walnut, which happens to be one of my favourite woods.
40:10It's rather lovely.
40:11The hinge lid is working.
40:13It's in good order, but it's not particularly out of the ordinary.
40:18I've estimated it at 30 to 50.
40:21Well, Phil paid 59 pounds for it.
40:24Ooh, ouch.
40:25That's a little bit top-heavy.
40:26You might have your work, I tell.
40:27I might well.
40:30So, Joe, Harley, I've spoke to the auctioneer.
40:33Estimation 30 to 50.
40:35It's coming up now.
40:36Let's see how it does.
40:37We have this lovely 19th century burr walnut octagonal snuffbox, and I'm looking to start
40:44you at 30.
40:4530, I have.
40:4735.
40:4840.
40:4950.
40:5050 pounds, I have.
40:5155.
40:52Guess one more.
40:5260.
40:5360.
40:54Yes!
40:56All done at 60.
40:59Well done.
41:00Yes!
41:00Well done, Phil.
41:01Phew.
41:03I'm going to high five you, Phil.
41:05I'm shitting.
41:07It sold for £60.
41:09Phil paid 59.
41:11That's plus one.
41:13So, you was at £127.
41:15You're now at 128.
41:18Very good score, that.
41:19Unbelievable.
41:19And golden gavels all round.
41:22Wow.
41:28Well, I've got to say, it's been a fabulous show.
41:31It's been sisters against brothers.
41:33It's pretty much all pluses.
41:35Ooh.
41:38Unfortunately, it can only be one winner.
41:40And I've got to say, the winners today, hold on.
41:44Blue team.
41:45Oh.
41:48Blues, I'm going to come back to you in a second.
41:51Reds, I mean, you did exceedingly well, didn't you?
41:54We did.
41:54I think so.
41:55You had plus, plus, then you broke even, didn't you?
41:57Which just stopped you from getting a golden gavel.
42:00But you still won £15.
42:03You did exceedingly well.
42:05Who's having the money?
42:07I'm nearest.
42:07You're nearest.
42:08Good game.
42:09But listen to this now.
42:11Blues.
42:12Ooh.
42:12Let's turn to blues.
42:15Plus.
42:16Plus.
42:17No.
42:18No.
42:19Yay!
42:20You know what that means, don't you?
42:22I do.
42:22Yeah.
42:22You do.
42:23Golden gavel.
42:25Then even Phil come along.
42:27More money.
42:28Yes.
42:28More profits.
42:30Ended up with a score of £128.
42:33Brilliant.
42:34Wow.
42:34Well done.
42:35Excellent.
42:36To Phil.
42:36That's amazing.
42:37Who's having the money?
42:39It's got to be this man.
42:39That's why he's laughing.
42:41You did exceedingly well.
42:43Then, of course, comes...
42:45Oh, it's what we came for.
42:46Golden gavels.
42:48Thank you very much.
42:49These, you can't put a price on these, can you?
42:51Thank you so much.
42:52Charlie, do you want to look at one of these?
42:55It's a distant memory Phil.
42:57Well played.
42:58Sum up the experience in one word.
43:00Unbelievable.
43:01I'll take that.
43:02Sum it up in one word.
43:04Fantastic.
43:05There you go.
43:06Fantastic.
43:07Unbelievable.
43:08Well, if you think you can do better, why don't you apply to come on the show?
