0:00:02 > 0:00:06The nation's favourite antiques experts. One big challenge.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09Who will make the most profit buying and selling antiques
0:00:09 > 0:00:11as they drive around the UK?
0:00:11 > 0:00:14- £6.- £5.- Done.
0:00:14 > 0:00:15Is that the very best you can do?
0:00:15 > 0:00:19By the end of their trip, they should have made some big money.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22But it's not as easy as it sounds.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26And only one will be crowned champion
0:00:26 > 0:00:28at the final auction in London.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38It's nearing the end of this Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42Our final leg is with Mark Stacey and James Braxton.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46Mark has worked for the prestigious Bonham's and Sotheby's
0:00:46 > 0:00:49and is well versed in ceramics and glass.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51I really do need to make an offer on them,
0:00:51 > 0:00:54but I don't know if you're going to be happy with my offers.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58James Braxton is a seasoned auctioneer, the proud owner of this
0:00:58 > 0:01:02beautiful old car, and also loves fine furniture and decorative arts.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Should I be walking out of the shop without old Dobbin here?
0:01:06 > 0:01:10James and Mark began their journey with £250 each and, frankly,
0:01:10 > 0:01:13neither of them has really made any money. James has been taking
0:01:13 > 0:01:16big risks on big items and losing big money.
0:01:16 > 0:01:21He needs to work hard today, just to get back to where he started.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25So after big wins but even bigger losses,
0:01:25 > 0:01:31his £250 has been slashed to £166.47.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35However, he still has an unsold tiara that he's hoping
0:01:35 > 0:01:38will turn a profit on this leg, or head.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41No more big price ticketed items.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46I'm a 20-22, or even a £15 man from now on.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Mark's been gradually creeping up on James
0:01:49 > 0:01:51with his tactic to buy small and cheap.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54He's taken a substantial lead over James,
0:01:54 > 0:02:00with his £250 now up to £279.07.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03I think I'm still going to err on the side of caution
0:02:03 > 0:02:05and try and buy cheap and try and get the dealers
0:02:05 > 0:02:09to really negotiate down so I can maximise the profit.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11This road trip is round the Southeast of England
0:02:11 > 0:02:15and on this leg, they're leaving Abingdon, in Oxfordshire,
0:02:15 > 0:02:19taking a cheeky detour north to Oxford itself,
0:02:19 > 0:02:21before heading south through Henley-on-Thames
0:02:21 > 0:02:25and ending at auction in Billingshurst, West Sussex.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Oxford is one of Britain's oldest cities
0:02:29 > 0:02:33and was the location for its first ever coffee house in 1651,
0:02:33 > 0:02:36opening local people's eyes, literally,
0:02:36 > 0:02:40to the new caffeinated drink. And, of course,
0:02:40 > 0:02:44Oxford University is fairly well-known around the world.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48The man in the white suit heads out alone
0:02:48 > 0:02:50to the first antique shop of the day.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Here we are! Antiques On High.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Will I be lucky?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56- Hi!- Hello, I'm Joan Lee.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57Hello, nice to meet you.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59May I look in the cabinet there?
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Wouldn't mind looking at the hip flask, please?
0:03:02 > 0:03:06Nicely shouldered, beautifully cut, no signs of damage,
0:03:06 > 0:03:09but still nice and tight, good bear neck fixings.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Nice item, isn't it? I wonder who CD is?
0:03:11 > 0:03:16James needs to check the hallmark to get the rough value of the flask.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Hallmarking dates back to 1300 in Britain,
0:03:19 > 0:03:22governing the trade of precious metals to protect the public
0:03:22 > 0:03:26against fraud and the trader against counterfeiting.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Here the hallmark tells James
0:03:28 > 0:03:32the date of the silver drinking cup on the bottom of flask.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36There we are, 1907. So a nice Edwardian fellow.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- Very cheeky. Could you do it for 50? - I'll do it for 100.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44It's a good retailing price but the problem with me is
0:03:44 > 0:03:46I'm on me uppers a bit.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47LAUGHTER
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Still in Antiques On High,
0:03:49 > 0:03:55James moves on to another, hopefully more persuadable, dealer.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59- And suddenly there's an important call.- Excuse me.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- Hello?- She hasn't re-thought her hip flask, has she?
0:04:02 > 0:04:04What did you offer her?
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- 50 quid.- Yeah, I think she could probably take that.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Really? Ooh, that's really kind.
0:04:11 > 0:04:12It's not for the first time
0:04:12 > 0:04:15that I've had my breath taken away on this show.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- There you are, you see. - Thank you, that's really kind.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20God! He who dares wins.
0:04:21 > 0:04:26This is the best deal I've had on any leg so far. I'm really pleased
0:04:26 > 0:04:31with this and if this doesn't make me a profit, I AM the Dutchman.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35Well done, James. But you've broken your £15 to £20 rule already!
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Oh, there you are, James.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45- I've been waiting ages for you. - No smile on my face.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47You're clutching something, you've bought something.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- Should I be worried?- You should.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52I think this is the best item I've bought on the trip.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54I haven't bought a thing.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Come on, off to Wallingford.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00And it's back on the road, heading through Oxfordshire to Wallingford.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Pretty, historical Wallingford has been a town for about
0:05:06 > 0:05:09a thousand years, since it became a favoured resting place
0:05:09 > 0:05:11for William the Conqueror in 1067.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15Today, James and Mark need to conquer the antique shops
0:05:15 > 0:05:19and find some bargains to get out of their auction doldrums.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Not a moment too soon,
0:05:21 > 0:05:25Mark finds a delicious antique shop and actually goes inside.
0:05:25 > 0:05:30He's got work to do, to catch up with James' early star purchase.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32That's a little Tiffany dish.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Oh, that's rather pretty, isn't it? What would it be used for, I wonder?
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- A little bonbon dish, or something? - Yes.- We've talked about silver
0:05:39 > 0:05:43and I've found this ridiculous little shell pocket, a wall pocket,
0:05:43 > 0:05:46which is Clarice Cliff, Wilkinson Pottery.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49It's certainly not our first Road Trip encounter with the
0:05:49 > 0:05:54world famous Clarice Cliff. Clarice was an English ceramics designer,
0:05:54 > 0:05:58who eventually owned and ran her own business, and is best known
0:05:58 > 0:06:02for her brightly coloured Art Deco designs of the 1930s.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04I quite like the simplicity of it, don't you?
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Yes, she was more versatile than people imagined.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Yes, she was and I think also, in fairness,
0:06:10 > 0:06:13sometimes her signature was just put on things.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15- Do you?- Yes, I do.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Well, that's a matter of opinion, Mark.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19More importantly, are you going to buy it?
0:06:19 > 0:06:22I really do need to make an offer on them,
0:06:22 > 0:06:25but I don't know if you're going to be happy with my offers.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28So I'll just say them and you can say "yes",
0:06:28 > 0:06:30or "get out of my shop, Mark".
0:06:30 > 0:06:33The Clarice Cliff wall pocket,
0:06:33 > 0:06:36I would ideally like to get for about £15.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39And the little Tiffany's piece, really for 20 or £30.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Is there any, any chance that you can do them for that for me?
0:06:42 > 0:06:45I know I'm terribly mean.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49I really can't do the Tiffany's dish, but I'll do the Clarice Cliff.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53- £15 pounds, thank you so much. - Thank you.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57Mark has stuck to his strategy and got a rock bottom price
0:06:57 > 0:07:00and something else seems to have caught his eye.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Excuse me, Pat, can I have a chat with you
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- about the painting you've got here?- Yes.- Come along.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08I think these are rather fun, they're rather summery, aren't they?
0:07:08 > 0:07:11I don't know the artist but I've looked on the back
0:07:11 > 0:07:17and they seem to be Russian or something like that, sort of 1990s.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Do you think we could negotiate a bit on the price?
0:07:20 > 0:07:23You make me an offer and I'll tell you if I can.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Well, I'm going to be very cheeky, is that all right?
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Yes, I thought you might be.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32So do forgive me and don't hit me, all right. But what about £30?
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Er, no. How about 45?
0:07:36 > 0:07:40- Oh, can't we compromise a bit and say 35?- Mmm, no.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44So what you're really saying is you want to get about £40 for them?
0:07:44 > 0:07:45I think so, yes.
0:07:48 > 0:07:49Decisions, decisions.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Decisions, decisions.
0:07:51 > 0:07:52Ha-ha-ha.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55I think I'm going to give Braxton a run for his money.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Two fantastic oil paintings, framed, originals, for £40 quid.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Can't be bad, can it? Plus the Clarice Cliff for £15.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05I think we're laughing.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Well, James might be able to wipe the smile off your face
0:08:08 > 0:08:10with a nice piece of car trouble.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Oh, my giddy aunt.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Well, unfortunately, Mark, there seems to be
0:08:15 > 0:08:16a small problem with the...
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Can you listen? That's the fuel pump.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- What have you done? - James doesn't have a clue.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Luckily, help arrives.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- Are you sure there's petrol in the tank?- Yep.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27This is the truth. He's ran out of petrol.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- Are you sure there's petrol in the tank?- Doubly sure.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Are you really sure there's petrol in the tank?
0:08:35 > 0:08:37There's no petrol in it! I don't believe it!
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Not trusting James with the car,
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Mark puts himself in the driver's seat as the day draws to an end.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48But can I just say one thing, James, that I've been dying to say to you.
0:08:48 > 0:08:54- You've actually put the Wally into Wallingford.- Hey! Easy.
0:09:00 > 0:09:05It's the final day of shopping for this trip.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Leaving Oxford and Wallingford behind,
0:09:07 > 0:09:11the road trip continues south towards Billingshurst.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Next stop, Henley-on-Thames.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Henley has a great musical heritage.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Once home to George Harrison of the Beatles
0:09:19 > 0:09:22and the final resting place of the late, great Dusty Springfield.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26A commemorative Dusty Day is held here annually.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30# You don't have to say you love me. #
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Just be close at hand.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37So far, Mark has spent £55 on three items.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40The Clarice Cliff wall pocket and two Russian landscape paintings.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44Mark has £224.07 left to invest.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50James has spent £50 on one item, the cut glass and silver hip flask,
0:09:50 > 0:09:55with £116.47 still burning a hole in his pocket.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- Where are you off to? - I think I'm off ferreting, James.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- I'll see you later. - I'll go to Tudor House.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Mark has gone for a rifle through The Ferret,
0:10:06 > 0:10:09a popular antiques and collectables shop in Henley.
0:10:10 > 0:10:16I actually quite like this barometer. It's rosewood and it's inlaid
0:10:16 > 0:10:20with mother-of-pearl and brass string in here.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23It's a typical, what we call, a banjo barometer.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Rosewood-cased banjo barometers were fashionable instruments
0:10:27 > 0:10:31in the late Victorian period. Barometer movements were mostly
0:10:31 > 0:10:35made by Italian craftsmen who came over to Britain in the 19th century.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Could I ask you to look into
0:10:38 > 0:10:40giving me the very best price on that, please?
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Let me look at the ticket and see what we can do.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47- 150.- 150. I was hoping for a bit less
0:10:47 > 0:10:51cos I've got to think about what it would make at auction.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56Whilst Mark contemplates blowing the budget,
0:10:56 > 0:10:59James is on his way to a cluttered treasure trove.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Well, I don't think I'm going to be lost for choice here,
0:11:02 > 0:11:05look at all these ceramics, what a place!
0:11:05 > 0:11:10- Hello.- Hi!- James.- Hello. Pleased to meet you.- Good to meet you.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12I can't wait to start unearthing things.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Have a dig around.
0:11:14 > 0:11:20I know from the auctioneers that our auction is to include collectibles
0:11:20 > 0:11:23so maybe I should be looking for something fun,
0:11:23 > 0:11:27something a bit glam, something colourful. Skates, copper, brass.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29I think if you were to melt this shop down,
0:11:29 > 0:11:33I think 10% would be copper, 10% would be brass
0:11:33 > 0:11:37and then the rest ceramics. It's great fun.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41James burrows ever deeper and Mark is still smitten with the barometer.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47I really do like the barometer but I think in order
0:11:47 > 0:11:51to get the maximum profit I can to take onto the next leg,
0:11:51 > 0:11:55as it were, I'd have to get it for around 100.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57I don't think we'll get down to 100 but I do think
0:11:57 > 0:11:59maybe I could do a little better.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03- I'll leave it with you.- If you'd like to wait.- I will. Thank you.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04Carol calls the dealer
0:12:04 > 0:12:09whilst Mark takes a last nervous look at what could be his star buy.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12This is quite nerve-wracking, really,
0:12:12 > 0:12:17because I'm risking a lot again and I said I wouldn't do that.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22It is such a pretty one, though.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- Right, I've managed to make the phone call.- Well done.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28We can't go 100 but we can do 110.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- 110.- Do you think you can?
0:12:31 > 0:12:33- I'm going to take it. - Good. I am pleased.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37- Do you think I've made the right choice?- I think you'll do very well.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41- I really do.- Well, I've decided. Look, life is a gamble, isn't it?
0:12:41 > 0:12:43And I'm fed up of buying things for £10 and £20.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Oh, dear, Mark. If anyone would have stuck
0:12:46 > 0:12:50to the small and cheap strategy today, we thought it would be you!
0:12:50 > 0:12:54Can James play it safe with a pair of ornamental favourites?
0:12:54 > 0:12:58I quite like these, always fun, sculptural things, aren't they?
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- Was it Melba Ware? - It's Melba Ware. I'm sure of it.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03I think that's Melba Ware as well.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Melba Bone China originates from the home of British pottery,
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Stoke on Trent. Bone china was developed in England
0:13:09 > 0:13:13in the 18th century as a soft paste version of porcelain
0:13:13 > 0:13:18and used ground cattle bones to produce a strong, white body.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22Could you give any of them at, say, two quid or something?
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Two quid? I don't think so.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Could you do a fiver on this one, then?
0:13:29 > 0:13:32I could probably do him for a fiver, yes.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- It's a deal.- We have a deal. - Woof! Woof!
0:13:35 > 0:13:39For a fiver, that's lovely. But I'm still wondering if
0:13:39 > 0:13:43I should be walking out of the shop without old Dobbin, here.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45It's going to have to be £15. Have to be.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47£15 pounds? Gosh, the shock!
0:13:47 > 0:13:51I'm going to have to sit down, he's a tough man, this Dave.
0:13:51 > 0:13:5515. There wouldn't be a small discount to 13, would there?
0:13:55 > 0:13:58£15.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Make my day, Dave, come on, £13.50.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06- 14.- 14! Well done, well done.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Now I can afford lunch, just!
0:14:09 > 0:14:13Not entirely sure what James can achieve with a ceramic shire horse
0:14:13 > 0:14:15and a spaniel, but we wish him well.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Meanwhile, Mark's gone off to West Wycombe
0:14:19 > 0:14:21to feel the Burning Fires of Hell.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25Well, not literally! He's delving into the scurrilous past
0:14:25 > 0:14:30at the West Wycombe Park Estate, former venue for the original,
0:14:30 > 0:14:32infamous, scandalous Hellfire Club.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- Hello, are you Chris?- I am.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36Hello, I'm Mark, nice to meet you.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Chris Hathaway is the head guide at West Wycombe Park
0:14:40 > 0:14:42and leads Mark into temptation.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45In 1740 the estate owner, Sir Francis Dashwood,
0:14:45 > 0:14:49founded an organisation modestly called the
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Order of the Knights of St. Francis of West Wycombe.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Otherwise known as the Hellfire Club,
0:14:55 > 0:14:58for its commitment to booze, mischief and, erm,
0:14:58 > 0:15:00dressing up as the Pope.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02- Is that him?- Indeed.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04The whole idea of the Hellfire Club,
0:15:04 > 0:15:07it was a kind of parody of Roman Catholic rituals.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10So the men would dress up as monks and the ladies would dress up
0:15:10 > 0:15:14as nuns and they would party to extremes, you could say.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17These Hellfire Clubs were an interesting band of people
0:15:17 > 0:15:20because they got up to all sorts of mischief.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24Rumours abounded of naughtiness in the caves around the estate,
0:15:24 > 0:15:27fuelled by alcohol under the direction
0:15:27 > 0:15:30of Sir Francis Dashwood himself.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32- Wow.- Ooh, aren't they gorgeous?
0:15:32 > 0:15:34They are, can I hold one?
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Recently recovered by the estate,
0:15:36 > 0:15:39these ceremonial Hellfire goblets were used, possibly,
0:15:39 > 0:15:43for toasting the Devil. Or perhaps just for getting drunk.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Gosh! I do feel honoured. And here's his initials, I suppose.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- FD.- Yes, that's right. - Francis Dashwood.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53If you look underneath there's a very clear hallmark and that's London,
0:15:53 > 0:15:56that shows that it's Georgian silver as well.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00I never know if it tastes very nice drinking out of silver gilt.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03- A bit metallic.- It would be a little bit, all that oxidisation,
0:16:03 > 0:16:06I don't know, but I certainly wouldn't mind them.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10With the money you've got left, Mark, you can't afford them!
0:16:10 > 0:16:15Back on the shopping trip, James has found his way from Henley to Eton
0:16:15 > 0:16:17and found a pretty, antique bell push
0:16:17 > 0:16:19retailed by Thomas Goode & Co.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Isn't that fun? Just a fabulous fitting.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25They opened their Mayfair shop in 1827,
0:16:25 > 0:16:27just before the Victorian era got going,
0:16:27 > 0:16:31and have been purveyors of fine objects ever since.
0:16:31 > 0:16:36- Just do that, "beep, beep".- Wire it up and it's just as practical today
0:16:36 > 0:16:40as it was when first made. You could have that for 40.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Gary, I couldn't push you a bit more, could I? Could you do 30?
0:16:46 > 0:16:47All right, James.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51That's really kind, you can get me out of the shop now.
0:16:53 > 0:16:58The final purchase of the day, just in time before the shops shut.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02And for the last time, Mark and James get to show and tell.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06- It's a little Clarice Cliff wall pocket.- That's lovely.
0:17:06 > 0:17:11- And I got it down from 42 to 15. - Well done!
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- So there must be a profit in there somewhere.- Yes, must be.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- Oh, gosh, James. - Now, there's the shire horse.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19And you've got a little dog with it.
0:17:19 > 0:17:20Not quite Maud, but similar.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- Oh, sweet. This one is not great quality, James.- I know.
0:17:23 > 0:17:30- Two items, £14.- 14?- 14. - Oh, well, that's all right, James.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32They're Russian oil paintings.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Russian oil paintings? Hey!
0:17:34 > 0:17:36That's the first one.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40- That's the other one.- Nice colours.
0:17:40 > 0:17:47They were priced originally at £50 each and I got them for £40,
0:17:47 > 0:17:49- so £20 each.- I think you did very well.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- I think that's quite reasonable. - You had your buying hat on there.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Well, I try.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57And here we are. This mighty fellow.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Oh, that's nice, James.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02- Silver?- Bayonet one.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05So you twist and pull. Oh, the stopper's missing, never mind.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08It didn't have a stopper because it has a cork liner.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12- Initial, which is a shame. - It's rather nice.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16ET, extraterrestrial, my extraterrestrial item and I love it.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18How much did you pay for that, James?
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- £50.- And how much are you hoping to get for it?
0:18:21 > 0:18:25Watch and weep, I should get 80 to 120.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31It's a lovely little rosewood and brass inlaid.
0:18:31 > 0:18:351830, 1840, needs a little bit of work.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37It was marked at £185
0:18:37 > 0:18:40and I got it for 110.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43It's obviously not working because it should be on "much rain".
0:18:43 > 0:18:47As we have enjoyed on this leg.
0:18:47 > 0:18:48Ding-a-ling-a-ling!
0:18:48 > 0:18:51That's a very nice little bell push.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Just turn it over and you could redo it and rewire it today.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Absolutely. A little bit of damage, unfortunately.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Don't worry about that, turn it round.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Beep, beep, beep. Profit. Profit.
0:19:02 > 0:19:07Oh, well I think you will "ring up" a small profit on that.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Are you worried by my purchases?
0:19:09 > 0:19:11- No, not at all. - Am I worried by yours?
0:19:11 > 0:19:13- No.- Not bothered!
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Girlfriend.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18And what do you really think, girlfriends?
0:19:18 > 0:19:23The two pieces of pottery, the horse and the dog, are awful.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Clarice Cliff? Not my cup of tea.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28It's a rather kitsch thing that might end up in a bathroom.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32He has to make so much more now than I have
0:19:32 > 0:19:37to come out on top, so he has to clear £140-£150.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Back on the road, it's been a long journey from Abingdon,
0:19:41 > 0:19:45through lovely Oxford, Wallingford and Henley-on-Thames.
0:19:45 > 0:19:50Finally, it's auction day and the road trip arrives in Billingshurst.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55SQUEAKING
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Was that you?
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Bellman's auction house specialises in fine arts, paintings
0:19:59 > 0:20:04and collectables and the auctioneer, Jonathan Pratt, has a few thoughts.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07I mean, you know how barometers are doing at the moment?
0:20:07 > 0:20:11- Stop flapping, Jonathan how much have you put on it?- 40 to £60.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14- That's so mean!- No, it's a kind of "come and buy me" estimate.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- I hope it is, I paid 110 for it. - Did you really pay 110 for it?
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Do you like my bit of adding value here?
0:20:20 > 0:20:22BELL RINGS
0:20:22 > 0:20:26I like it. Onyx and lapis lazuli with the Thomas Goode on the side,
0:20:26 > 0:20:28it's a quality item, isn't it?
0:20:28 > 0:20:32A couple of "no sale" items have tagged along from yesterday's show.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34James has his silver tiara
0:20:34 > 0:20:37and Mark has his freebie Art Nouveau needle case.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Starting this leg with £279.07,
0:20:40 > 0:20:44Mark boldly spent £165 on three items.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49James started with £166.47
0:20:49 > 0:20:52and timidly spent just £94,
0:20:52 > 0:20:57overcoming his Achilles heel on blowing the budget.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01Storm clouds gather around Billingshurst. The wind picks up,
0:21:01 > 0:21:04birds flee to their nests and the strangest scent is in the air.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07The auction is about to begin.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10First up, Mark's got nothing to lose on this needle case,
0:21:10 > 0:21:14but a little extra profit would be nice to extend his lead.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Mitrailleuse by Royal Letters Patent.
0:21:17 > 0:21:24Start me at a fiver on this? Five. Eight anyone, eight now, ten, 12,
0:21:24 > 0:21:2915 anywhere? I'll sell at £12 then if we're all done at £12.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- Another £12.- Well done.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33An excellent start.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37£12 that Mark didn't have before and it cost him nothing.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40James' tiara didn't sell in yesterday's show.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Will it find a pretty little head today?
0:21:43 > 0:21:47Let's hope there's a secret bride here somewhere in the room.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53- Are you looking around?- I can't see anyone to be honest with you, James.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56We have a silvered metal and colourless paste set tiara
0:21:56 > 0:21:57of Belle Epoque design.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00I can start straight in at £20, with me at 20.
0:22:00 > 0:22:0322, 25, 28 and 30,
0:22:03 > 0:22:0640 at £40 and selling,
0:22:06 > 0:22:0845, 50, 55, £60.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Any further interest?
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Selling, last chance, at £60.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16- Up 27.50, James. - I think I've recovered.
0:22:16 > 0:22:21At no extra effort, James is heading back to level ground with Mark.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Next up, Mark's Clarice Cliff wall pocket.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Will it leave him out of pocket?
0:22:26 > 0:22:28£10. 12 at the back, sir.
0:22:28 > 0:22:3215, 18, 20, 22 at the back.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Come on, a bit more.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Last chance and selling for £22.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38It's up seven, James, it's a profit.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41It's good.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45James got a great deal on this companion set.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Will anyone give them a home?
0:22:47 > 0:22:49It's awful, no point to it whatsoever.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51I wouldn't give you a fiver for them.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52£10, any interest?
0:22:52 > 0:22:55£10, thank you, at the back. 12 now.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58I'll sell at £10, all done at 10.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03James, at last there is some justice in the world, you're down four.
0:23:03 > 0:23:061581A, Russian school, oil on board.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Mark's first Russian landscape
0:23:08 > 0:23:11needs a nice, rich buyer to fall for its charms.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15Start me at £20 for the painting. £20.
0:23:15 > 0:23:20At ten, 12, 15, 18, 20, 22, then I'll sell at 22.
0:23:20 > 0:23:21That's ridiculous.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Last chance at £22.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27I'm up two but I'll be down overall on that, James.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30You're loving this, aren't you?
0:23:30 > 0:23:32You saw how kind I was when you were down?
0:23:32 > 0:23:36And now the other one. Let's hope it's the more attractive of the two.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37Girl on a pony on a Russian farm.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38Here we go, Mark.
0:23:38 > 0:23:43£20? 10 then. 10 is bid, 12,
0:23:43 > 0:23:5115, 18, 20, 22, 25, 28, £28.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55- Well done, Mark, so that's....? - Up eight, there.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Ding Dong!
0:23:57 > 0:24:01Large profit, please! It's James' lovely little bell push from Eton.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05# Ring my bell, ring my bell. #
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Lovely white onyx...
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Don't push it too much.
0:24:09 > 0:24:15Start me at £30 for the bell push, 20 then, 22, 25,
0:24:15 > 0:24:1928, and in the front row at 30, are we all done at 30?
0:24:19 > 0:24:21OK, selling at 30. Last chance.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25- Oh!- Wipe my face there.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Isn't that a shame?
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Hmm. Not great.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33After paying commission, James can't break even on the bell push.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Mark's feeling the heat, too.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39He needs his barometer to sell big and keep him in the lead.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43- I can't look.- I'll talk you through it, don't worry.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Start me at 65, 75.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Well, 75, come on.
0:24:48 > 0:24:49And 80 and five,
0:24:49 > 0:24:5490 and five, 95, all done at 95.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58- 95.- Well, that's terrible.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02Ouch! Barometers have not been good sellers on this Antiques Road Trip.
0:25:02 > 0:25:03Maybe it's the weather.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Go on, rub it in.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08No, I don't, I have all sympathy, I've been there.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12It's all to play for on the hip flask from Oxford.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14James loves the quality and design,
0:25:14 > 0:25:16but he needs to double his money or all is lost!
0:25:16 > 0:25:1865, 70, 75,
0:25:18 > 0:25:2280, 85, 90,
0:25:22 > 0:25:2695, 100, 110, 120,
0:25:26 > 0:25:31130, 140, 140 seated front row.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Selling front row at £140.
0:25:34 > 0:25:35Up 90.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Yes! He's back with a vengeance!
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Today's underdog, James Braxton, just about tripled his money
0:25:43 > 0:25:46on that hip flask and finishes his road trip victorious with...
0:25:47 > 0:25:50..well, not a lot more than he started with.
0:25:51 > 0:25:57Mark started today's show with £279.07
0:25:57 > 0:26:01and made a loss, after commission, of £16.88.
0:26:01 > 0:26:06Mark finishes his road trip with £262.19.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15James started today's show with £166.47
0:26:15 > 0:26:20and made a big profit, after commission, of £103.60.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Which means James wins this South East leg
0:26:23 > 0:26:30of the Antiques Road Trip with £270.07
0:26:30 > 0:26:34So tell us, how much profit have you both made?
0:26:34 > 0:26:36- Mark.- James.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Final crunch moment.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- Final crunch moment. I made £20.- And I made £12.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46I tell you what, I think we could become successful dealers, you know.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48LAUGHTER
0:26:48 > 0:26:49Best of luck!
0:26:49 > 0:26:54Mark and James started this final leg with £250 each.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Antiques Roadshow, we love it!
0:26:56 > 0:27:00It's been a road trip of ups and downs with James taking an early lead.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02That's up 50! Well done, James.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07After circumnavigating the Southeast of England,
0:27:07 > 0:27:11visiting several towns, dozens of antiques shops...
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Now would you take £20 for this?
0:27:13 > 0:27:15No!
0:27:15 > 0:27:17That I've just sold at the weekend.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19- No.- Yes.- You see, this is my luck.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23..and hitting the best auction houses in six counties...
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Somebody buy it!
0:27:25 > 0:27:27..they've achieved...
0:27:27 > 0:27:29not an awful lot, really.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Silly, that was silly.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34In keeping with the rules, our two experts will now use
0:27:34 > 0:27:38their monumental winnings to buy one killer item each
0:27:38 > 0:27:41for the final group auction in London.
0:27:41 > 0:27:46Lets see how Mark and James fit into the Antiques Road Trip Leader Board.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50As expected, there's no challenge to our clear front runners.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54James Lewis and David Harper are still way out in front.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Philip Serrell beats Anita Manning
0:27:56 > 0:27:59to take 3rd place and James Braxton
0:27:59 > 0:28:01takes 5th place, just above his
0:28:01 > 0:28:03travelling buddy, Mark Stacey.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05And both beating the shy, retiring
0:28:05 > 0:28:07David Barby and the crushingly
0:28:07 > 0:28:09modest Charles Hanson.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Ok, take it over to the...
0:28:14 > 0:28:15Yes, I know what to do now.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20And so the bickering continues.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26The final of the Antiques Road Trip is in London
0:28:26 > 0:28:30for the series climax. Each expert has used their profits
0:28:30 > 0:28:33to buy one killer item for the final auction.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37- Oh, that's devastating. - Delighted!
0:28:37 > 0:28:40All eight of our antiques experts faced one big challenge -
0:28:40 > 0:28:43to make the most profit buying and selling antiques,
0:28:43 > 0:28:47as they travelled the highways and byways of the UK.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49But who will ultimately make the most money
0:28:49 > 0:28:53and be crowned champion of the Antiques Road Trip?
0:28:54 > 0:28:59Our experts have been scouring the UK's antique shops,
0:28:59 > 0:29:04buying antiques sometimes from the most isolated of dealers, and at
0:29:04 > 0:29:08the end of each programme, they've taken their treasures to auction.
0:29:11 > 0:29:17We took eight hard-nosed antiques experts and turned them
0:29:17 > 0:29:20into four pairs of bosom buddies.
0:29:28 > 0:29:34Together they travelled a massive 3,176 miles around the UK
0:29:34 > 0:29:39in a variety of wonderful, soft top classic motors.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42They took in a myriad of towns and cities like Liverpool
0:29:42 > 0:29:46and Barnard Castle, Belfast, Edinburgh and Conwy,
0:29:46 > 0:29:50Oxford, King's Lynn and Bath.
0:29:51 > 0:29:55Our experts have bought 133 items between them.
0:29:55 > 0:29:56They went to 20 auctions...
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Yes!
0:29:58 > 0:30:00..and made 91 profits...
0:30:00 > 0:30:02- £85!- That's a lot of money.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05..and 41 losses.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07Well, that's a total wipe out, isn't it?
0:30:07 > 0:30:11Each expert started their week with a budget of £200...
0:30:11 > 0:30:13I hate parting with money.
0:30:13 > 0:30:18..except James Braxton and Mark Stacey,
0:30:18 > 0:30:22who had £250 because their road trip was only four days instead of five.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27It's been snakes and ladders all the way...
0:30:27 > 0:30:29It's a little bit too big.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32..but everyone came dressed to kill.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34- You look like a pirate.- A pirate?
0:30:34 > 0:30:38And it's all been leading to this exciting moment
0:30:38 > 0:30:43at Christie's South Kensington saleroom in London.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47Each of our eight experts have spent their profits on a single item
0:30:47 > 0:30:49which they're going to sell on here.
0:30:49 > 0:30:54Our champion will be the expert who makes the most money altogether -
0:30:54 > 0:30:57that's the total proceeds from the sale of their item today,
0:30:57 > 0:31:02together with the money they've already got in the bank.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06And it can't be any ordinary antique for this sale. Oh, no.
0:31:06 > 0:31:11Top-notch only. Well, on the Antiques Road Trip, all roads lead
0:31:11 > 0:31:15to London, and our eight experts are on their way here, right now!
0:31:17 > 0:31:19So who's going to win today?
0:31:19 > 0:31:23Let's take a look at the leader board and remind ourselves
0:31:23 > 0:31:25of the state of play.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27It's James Lewis in the lead,
0:31:27 > 0:31:29with David Harper not far behind.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32In third place is Philip Serrell,
0:31:32 > 0:31:33over £500 behind David.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35Then there's only £40-odd
0:31:35 > 0:31:38between the five other experts...
0:31:38 > 0:31:39Anything can happen!
0:31:41 > 0:31:45They've all got a fantastic item to sell at today's final auction,
0:31:45 > 0:31:46except ONE.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50One of the experts had their item rejected for today's sale,
0:31:50 > 0:31:53so they're only here for the ride.
0:31:53 > 0:31:54But which expert?!
0:31:59 > 0:32:03Christie's South Kensington claims to be one of the busiest salerooms
0:32:03 > 0:32:08in the world, with interior sales like this one almost every week.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11They're fussy about what they accept, but go to great lengths
0:32:11 > 0:32:15to market their lots and show them off to best advantage.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17GAVEL BANGS
0:32:18 > 0:32:22I'm not sure if they're quite prepared for this bunch, though.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24- (RUSTIC ACCENT) - I've never been to London before.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27It's a really nice day out and smashing people!
0:32:27 > 0:32:29Everybody's a little bit...
0:32:30 > 0:32:31..hoity-toity!
0:32:31 > 0:32:35You can keep Geneva, New York and Paris.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37For me, the art capital of the world is still London.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Sold!
0:32:39 > 0:32:41Our Antiques Road Trip competition
0:32:41 > 0:32:44kicked off with Anita Manning and David Barby.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46Let's see how they got on that week.
0:32:50 > 0:32:55Our pioneering first team hit the road in a racy red Austin Healey.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58They travelled from the northeast coast of Scotland,
0:32:58 > 0:33:00down to North Yorkshire.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02- Oh!- Yes!
0:33:02 > 0:33:07Each expert has followed their own path with varying success,
0:33:07 > 0:33:08or lack of it!
0:33:08 > 0:33:10That's devastating.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13Anita began showing off the Scottish countryside to David,
0:33:13 > 0:33:15but took her eye off the ball.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18Her first auction was a total disaster.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20Oh, that's disappointing.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23So she had to learn fast and change tack.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27Bit by bit, she drove for hard bargains.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31Could you give me them for 20 quid? Go on, they'll be out of your life!
0:33:31 > 0:33:34In Fife, she fought for a bargain diamante watch...
0:33:34 > 0:33:38If there's a possibility of it at a couple of pounds...
0:33:38 > 0:33:41..and a pair of Scottish landscapes.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43- £16 for the two?- That's ridiculous!
0:33:43 > 0:33:46She clawed her way back up to where she'd begun, and beyond.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49It's nice to see you smiling!
0:33:51 > 0:33:53David, on the other hand,
0:33:53 > 0:33:56started strong and had a terrific first auction.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58GAVEL BANGS
0:33:58 > 0:34:00Lady luck is smiling on you today!
0:34:00 > 0:34:02But early successes went to his head
0:34:02 > 0:34:06and he began making progressively riskier purchases...
0:34:06 > 0:34:09- I was looking for that "wow" factor. - It doesn't have that.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11..which became his undoing.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13At £70!
0:34:13 > 0:34:14Oh!
0:34:14 > 0:34:18So David never wants to hear the words "Art Nouveau charger"
0:34:18 > 0:34:20or "Gray's Pottery lamp" ever again!
0:34:22 > 0:34:24£60.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27Well, that's a total wipe out, isn't it?
0:34:27 > 0:34:29And despite his best efforts...
0:34:29 > 0:34:32Is that your very best? The very best you can do?
0:34:32 > 0:34:34What's the very best? Is that your very best?
0:34:34 > 0:34:36..it was Anita who won the day.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41I think you make a lovely couple, actually.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43LAUGHTER
0:34:43 > 0:34:44Watch it!
0:34:44 > 0:34:48Anita, you had £285.59 in the end.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50What did you buy for today's sale?
0:34:50 > 0:34:54I bought a beautiful little dressing table mirror
0:34:54 > 0:34:59with a lovely silver frame. It's Edwardian,
0:34:59 > 0:35:03made by Goldsmiths & Silversmiths, a good London maker,
0:35:03 > 0:35:05and it's dated 1909.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08How much did this little delight cost you, Anita?
0:35:08 > 0:35:09£280.
0:35:09 > 0:35:14Now, David, you had £253.88 total.
0:35:14 > 0:35:15What did you spend your cash on?
0:35:15 > 0:35:19Two terracotta plaques. Late 19th century, possibly Austrian,
0:35:19 > 0:35:24in the manner of Goldschneider, they're terracotta, cold painted.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27These are in the form of two gable ends, and I looked at them,
0:35:27 > 0:35:31I wanted somebody to associate the trip, and there's Anita, there,
0:35:31 > 0:35:35and me, and we're both wearing spectacles, and I thought to myself,
0:35:35 > 0:35:37"I've got to have those."
0:35:37 > 0:35:40I'm not sure that's terribly flattering to you both!
0:35:42 > 0:35:45David's extraordinary choice has been the talk of the town!
0:35:45 > 0:35:49- What was he thinking?- He said, "What period do you think they're from?"
0:35:49 > 0:35:52- I said, "Early horrific." - They're monstrous.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55- Grotesque. - Hang it over the fireplace,
0:35:55 > 0:35:57and keep your children away from the fire!
0:35:57 > 0:35:58Would I buy them myself?
0:36:00 > 0:36:02Possibly not.
0:36:02 > 0:36:07David Harper and James Lewis came next, driving David's car.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09Let's see what happened.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15These bearded wonders travelled through
0:36:15 > 0:36:17three countries in the Union.
0:36:17 > 0:36:21They started off at the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland,
0:36:21 > 0:36:23and finished up in Leicestershire,
0:36:23 > 0:36:24quite a stretch!
0:36:24 > 0:36:29For these two lions, it was a serious competition from the start.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33The key, I've realised, is that you have to double your money.
0:36:33 > 0:36:34But I want to beat him!
0:36:36 > 0:36:40David's successful campaign began with an Irish butter knife.
0:36:40 > 0:36:41And what a knife!
0:36:41 > 0:36:45- A heck of a butter knife.- Indeed. - Imagine that on your crumpet.
0:36:45 > 0:36:46£110.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49Brilliant.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53But James took the lead, thanks, in part, to a green French deer.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56I'm selling at £140.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01And a dark-haired stranger.
0:37:01 > 0:37:02All done at 180.
0:37:04 > 0:37:05Then disaster struck.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13David bought a lovely bowl which turned out to be a fake.
0:37:13 > 0:37:18And both had a fragile item broken in transit.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22But in spite of bad luck,
0:37:22 > 0:37:26they each made some serious, serious cash.
0:37:26 > 0:37:30David overtook James, thanks to his quirky nutcracker.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32£210, now selling.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34Well done.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36And lady's travelling box.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38- Sold at 100.- Well done! Put it there, Andrew.
0:37:38 > 0:37:43But, in the end, James won the day, thanks to a silver tea set...
0:37:43 > 0:37:46£260 and selling.
0:37:46 > 0:37:47Well done.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49..and a Victorian sampler.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52- That was great fun. - Right down to the last lot!
0:37:54 > 0:37:57You two had a terrific week with some tremendous profits.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01David, you had £880.22.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05Tell us about the item you bought for this, the final auction.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09It was bought on the final leg, in the final shop, and it's
0:38:09 > 0:38:14a fantastic late-19th century, 5ft 7 tall, Chinese, hardwood,
0:38:14 > 0:38:17rosewood, gorgeous colour display cabinet. And it's interesting
0:38:17 > 0:38:19because it's not just Chinese.
0:38:19 > 0:38:23You've got that kind of British influence of gadrooned top
0:38:23 > 0:38:26and gadrooned base, on ball and claw feet so quite obviously made
0:38:26 > 0:38:30for the British market in Hong Kong, or even as an export piece.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32How much did this cost you?
0:38:32 > 0:38:35£300 and I think it was an absolute steal.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37And what's your reckoning as to what it will bring?
0:38:37 > 0:38:41- I think it's got a very good chance of doing £1,000, or more.- Really?
0:38:41 > 0:38:42I do, I really do. I hope!
0:38:42 > 0:38:46If you're right, and that's the exciting thing, isn't it?
0:38:46 > 0:38:48Because you just can't tell in these auctions.
0:38:48 > 0:38:52Now you finished up with the highest score of all,
0:38:52 > 0:38:56that's £969.02 you've got in the bank.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59What did you spend your money on and why?
0:38:59 > 0:39:02I bought something for the local well-heeled lady.
0:39:02 > 0:39:07I bought a French bureau de dame. It's in tulip wood, it's late 19th,
0:39:07 > 0:39:12early 20th-century, but it is perfect for a little lady to sit
0:39:12 > 0:39:15and write her letters, the traditional lady in home.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19It's got these very fine little ormolu mounts set with Sevres panels.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21Beautiful, a really pretty little object.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24If it doesn't do well here, it won't do well anywhere.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26Right. How much did you pay for it?
0:39:26 > 0:39:29I paid £490.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38Next to take on the Antiques Road Trip challenge
0:39:38 > 0:39:41were Philip Serrell and Charles Hanson.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44Their starting point was Llandudno in North Wales,
0:39:44 > 0:39:46and they were due to finish in Devon,
0:39:46 > 0:39:50but they finally ended up in Cirencester, Gloucestershire.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55Sometimes it was like watching Laurel and Hardy.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58Charlie, what are you doing? Get off my leg!
0:39:58 > 0:40:00This is the trouble when you deal with children.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03Excuse me, just a moment. Thank you.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05Philip!
0:40:05 > 0:40:09Philip held on tight to his money and stuck with cheap, shabby chic.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12He got a horse harness for a fiver...
0:40:12 > 0:40:14- £6.- £5.- Done!
0:40:14 > 0:40:18..and a cut down gate-leg table which cost £50
0:40:18 > 0:40:20and doubled its money.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23All out, selling on the book at 100.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26But the odd lot didn't sell.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28- Sorry, chaps.- It hasn't sold.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31- She's passed it.- Well, it has to make something, surely.
0:40:31 > 0:40:37Bonnie young Charles, the great pretender, was much more outlandish.
0:40:37 > 0:40:41His cinema seats were memorable, giving him an early lead.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43At £200, all finished at 200.
0:40:43 > 0:40:47I am absolutely flabbergasted, Charlie. Well done, you.
0:40:47 > 0:40:52His gambles didn't always pay off. Remember the tinned food?
0:40:52 > 0:40:55- All done at five. Thank you, sir. - He's as mad as you are, Charlie.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58There was a risky armchair that bombed.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00If you're all done at £90?
0:41:00 > 0:41:01GAVEL BANGS
0:41:01 > 0:41:02Bargain.
0:41:03 > 0:41:07And then the Chinese punch pot that flew.
0:41:07 > 0:41:08At £280...
0:41:08 > 0:41:09Well done, Charlie.
0:41:11 > 0:41:15But at their final auction, Charles got knocked back
0:41:15 > 0:41:18on his battered old moth collection because some were illegal.
0:41:18 > 0:41:22- So they're not in the sale? - They're not in the sale.
0:41:22 > 0:41:23And Philip came out on top.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25Congratulations.
0:41:25 > 0:41:29You're the victor, but there's still London and there's still my star buy.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32Selling at 120.
0:41:34 > 0:41:39Yes... Charles' star buy has been a bit of a disaster.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42Remember I said someone's item got rejected for today's sale?
0:41:42 > 0:41:45Well, Charles bought a table which Philip was selling
0:41:45 > 0:41:49at their last auction, and sadly, London didn't like it.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Charles, what happened?
0:41:51 > 0:41:56I spent £140 and I really thought I had bagged a great find.
0:41:56 > 0:42:00I thought it was shabby chic. I thought, "Off we go to Christie's
0:42:00 > 0:42:04"with something of great integrity, for a high refined saleroom,"
0:42:04 > 0:42:09and I was wrong, because, sadly, they turned it away
0:42:09 > 0:42:14as not quite being of a quality... Perhaps it was more the condition,
0:42:14 > 0:42:15I don't know.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18What are you going to do with your shabby chic table
0:42:18 > 0:42:20now Christie's won't take it?
0:42:20 > 0:42:22It's going in the back of my car later on
0:42:22 > 0:42:24and it's waltzing up the M1 to Derbyshire.
0:42:24 > 0:42:28So Charles will sell the table at his own auction,
0:42:28 > 0:42:31and the proceeds will be added to our final total.
0:42:31 > 0:42:35Now, Phil, you had £308.93. What did you buy?
0:42:35 > 0:42:39It's a lovely walnut table. It's 20th-century, it's effectively
0:42:39 > 0:42:44a reproduction because it's meant to look like an 18th-century table.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47And I just think it might just appeal to the London set.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50It's completely clean, yes. I mean, no woodworm.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54No, no, no. I don't think it's been around long enough to get worm, Tim!
0:42:54 > 0:42:57What do you think it's going to bring, Phil?
0:42:57 > 0:42:59I'm just hoping it'll make £400 or £500.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05The Antiques Road Trip had James Braxton
0:43:05 > 0:43:10driving his own car, with Mark Stacey as his passenger.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13They set off from King's Lynn in Norfolk
0:43:13 > 0:43:16and travelled a particularly winding route, finishing up
0:43:16 > 0:43:18in Billingshurst, West Sussex.
0:43:21 > 0:43:24Wind in our hair. Fabulous, isn't it?
0:43:24 > 0:43:26Somebody, buy it!
0:43:27 > 0:43:31AH! How's my little Welsh friend?
0:43:33 > 0:43:36These two were never going to make big bucks.
0:43:36 > 0:43:39They were having far too much fun,
0:43:39 > 0:43:43buying things that appealed to them, but not at keen enough prices.
0:43:43 > 0:43:46- Would you take £20 for this?- No.
0:43:46 > 0:43:49Oh, no, James, that's down 15.
0:43:49 > 0:43:52- That was silly.- Are you going to change your buying strategy?
0:43:52 > 0:43:54I certainly am, yeah.
0:43:55 > 0:43:58The good old British summer hampered them,
0:43:58 > 0:44:00plus some rather rash decisions didn't help.
0:44:00 > 0:44:0410? Anyone, £10 only? No?
0:44:07 > 0:44:11James started with the intention of going mad with his money.
0:44:11 > 0:44:14- I am a gambling man. - I like your style!
0:44:14 > 0:44:17- £20 and selling.- Oh!
0:44:17 > 0:44:19- £10.- It just gets worse, doesn't it?
0:44:19 > 0:44:21£28 and selling.
0:44:21 > 0:44:25You're down 450, that's not too bad.
0:44:25 > 0:44:28- Any commission bids? - £30 and selling.- Oh.
0:44:28 > 0:44:31Mark, meanwhile, struggled to let loose the purse strings.
0:44:31 > 0:44:34- Decisions, decisions. - Decisions, decisions.
0:44:34 > 0:44:38But he couldn't keep himself from buying things that he just loved,
0:44:38 > 0:44:40like the lovable Thread Bear.
0:44:40 > 0:44:43- You won't regret this.- I already do!
0:44:45 > 0:44:48In the end, James' cavalier approach was more profitable...
0:44:48 > 0:44:50At £140.
0:44:50 > 0:44:52- Up 90.- That's very good.- Thank you.
0:44:52 > 0:44:55..but only just.
0:44:55 > 0:45:01With James exactly £8.51 ahead of Mark, it was nothing if not close.
0:45:01 > 0:45:05I tell you what, I think we could become successful dealers, you know.
0:45:05 > 0:45:08And they managed to hold up the traffic through six counties.
0:45:11 > 0:45:14So you didn't make great profits, either of you,
0:45:14 > 0:45:17but it was neck and neck all along, wasn't it?
0:45:17 > 0:45:19- It was.- Very much so.
0:45:19 > 0:45:23Now, you had £270.07 to spend.
0:45:23 > 0:45:25What did you buy?
0:45:25 > 0:45:27I bought something I'm very happy with.
0:45:27 > 0:45:31I bought a little element of Marrakech, a bit of north Africa.
0:45:31 > 0:45:34A lovely little table with eight legs, chip carved on the top.
0:45:34 > 0:45:38If you looked at it, you'd think, "Ah, Islamic piece,"
0:45:38 > 0:45:41immediately with that rather nice octagonal top, and then you
0:45:41 > 0:45:45look down and you see the quality of the fabulous walnut legs.
0:45:45 > 0:45:48Just tell me when do you think it was made, then?
0:45:48 > 0:45:52I think it's sort of turn of the century, I think, around 1900.
0:45:52 > 0:45:56But it's exactly the thing that would have been retailed, one hopes,
0:45:56 > 0:45:59by that mighty store in Regent Street, Liberty's.
0:45:59 > 0:46:00What did you spend on it?
0:46:00 > 0:46:03I spent the whole lot.
0:46:03 > 0:46:05- Did you?! Typical! - Including the pence!
0:46:05 > 0:46:08£270.07 you blew on this table, right?
0:46:08 > 0:46:12- The 7p made the difference, he was wavering.- I bet it did.
0:46:12 > 0:46:18Now, Mark, you had £262.19. What did you buy?
0:46:18 > 0:46:22Well, I bought a rather charming little 19th-century table cabinet.
0:46:22 > 0:46:27Around 1860, 1880. Napoleon III, ebonised with wonderful brass,
0:46:27 > 0:46:30and it's a very pretty piece to look at, I'm really happy with it.
0:46:30 > 0:46:34And I'm very pleased to say, also, I didn't spend all of my money.
0:46:34 > 0:46:39Cos I knew other people were banking so I banked my £2.19.
0:46:39 > 0:46:43- So you spent 260?- I paid 260 for it.- You banked £2.19?- Yes.
0:46:43 > 0:46:45What do you think it might bring in the sale?
0:46:45 > 0:46:48You never know with the London market,
0:46:48 > 0:46:51but I would like to see £500 or £600.
0:46:52 > 0:46:57So out of all the extraordinary pieces that our experts have bought,
0:46:57 > 0:47:01who's going to surprise us and who's going to win?
0:47:01 > 0:47:04As you can imagine, everyone's got a view.
0:47:04 > 0:47:09First, Christie's chairman and auctioneer, Nic McElhatton.
0:47:09 > 0:47:11I think my favourite item out of all the pieces,
0:47:11 > 0:47:14and I think they've all got great merits,
0:47:14 > 0:47:17is probably Mark's Napoleon III cabinet. It's got all the quality.
0:47:17 > 0:47:20I could see that one actually exceeding the others
0:47:20 > 0:47:21at the end of the day.
0:47:21 > 0:47:24If you want to see someone come up on the outside rails,
0:47:24 > 0:47:27Braxton's table could just sneak in there.
0:47:27 > 0:47:29The winner probably is James' bureau,
0:47:29 > 0:47:31with the Sevres-style plaques.
0:47:31 > 0:47:34Lots of French. French love Kensington, you know?
0:47:34 > 0:47:36Every other voice is Franglais going on around here,
0:47:36 > 0:47:38and I think they'll love it.
0:47:38 > 0:47:44I think of all the objects here, my favourite one is David Harper's.
0:47:46 > 0:47:48OK, no more speculation.
0:47:48 > 0:47:50No more guessing games.
0:47:50 > 0:47:51It's show time!
0:47:53 > 0:47:54So the auction is under way.
0:47:54 > 0:47:57First lot up is James Lewis's bureau de dame.
0:47:57 > 0:47:59James, you paid £490 for it.
0:47:59 > 0:48:02- Are you just as confident about this thing?- No, not at all.
0:48:02 > 0:48:05Well, we're closely contained by all your colleagues here,
0:48:05 > 0:48:09so you're not going to get away with anything, quite frankly.
0:48:09 > 0:48:12Anyway, £490 you paid. The auctioneer's estimate
0:48:12 > 0:48:16is £700 to £1,000, which is pretty encouraging,
0:48:16 > 0:48:17and, frankly, here it comes.
0:48:17 > 0:48:20And I can open the bidding here at 480, 500.
0:48:20 > 0:48:23At £500. 550 I have.
0:48:23 > 0:48:28At £550. 600, 650 now, at £650.
0:48:28 > 0:48:31Any advance on 650? 700. 750.
0:48:31 > 0:48:34At £750, it's here with me at 750.
0:48:34 > 0:48:39I'm offered £770 with a commission here, at 770. Any advance?
0:48:39 > 0:48:43At 770, here on the book, it's against the room,
0:48:43 > 0:48:48it's against the internet, it's against the telephones, at 770...
0:48:48 > 0:48:50Sold at £770.
0:48:50 > 0:48:53Not bad, James, well done.
0:48:53 > 0:48:56James is putting a brave face on that,
0:48:56 > 0:48:59but the result has shored up his lead.
0:48:59 > 0:49:02Next up, Phil, is your centre table.
0:49:02 > 0:49:05I just hope it does well. If it does over £400, I'll be happy.
0:49:05 > 0:49:09The auctioneer's estimate is £500 to £700, so you should be OK.
0:49:09 > 0:49:11Here it comes. Good luck.
0:49:11 > 0:49:13I can start the bidding here at 350.
0:49:13 > 0:49:16380, it's here with me at £380.
0:49:16 > 0:49:18Any advance at £380?
0:49:18 > 0:49:20It's all done here at 380.
0:49:20 > 0:49:21400 now, I'm selling.
0:49:21 > 0:49:23£400, absentee bid at 400.
0:49:23 > 0:49:25Any advance?
0:49:25 > 0:49:27All done with this one at £400?
0:49:28 > 0:49:30Sold at 400, thank you very much.
0:49:30 > 0:49:34You said your threshold for no pain is £400. You're not in pain, mate!
0:49:34 > 0:49:39No, no, it's all right. I think after the auctioneer's modest commission,
0:49:39 > 0:49:41I'm back to where I started!
0:49:41 > 0:49:44That's what we in the trade call "wiping its face".
0:49:44 > 0:49:48Philip's not really better off but at least he didn't lose anything.
0:49:48 > 0:49:53David Barby's next, with his lovely...terracotta plaques.
0:49:53 > 0:49:56The auctioneer's estimate is £500 to £700,
0:49:56 > 0:49:59so in his opinion, at least, you'll double your money, David.
0:49:59 > 0:50:01- That's what I wish for. - That's what I wish for.
0:50:01 > 0:50:03Is that the very, very best, do you think?
0:50:03 > 0:50:06What do you mean, "Is that your very, very best"?
0:50:06 > 0:50:09I've got interest here at 300,
0:50:09 > 0:50:11320, 350. Up here at £350.
0:50:11 > 0:50:14Come on, come on. Where are the internet?
0:50:14 > 0:50:16Any advance here at 350?
0:50:16 > 0:50:19I have 380, £400. At 400, my commission here at 400.
0:50:19 > 0:50:23Any advance? Commission bid at 400, I'm going to sell them,
0:50:23 > 0:50:26if there's no advance, at £400. All done, then, at £400.
0:50:26 > 0:50:28Sold.
0:50:28 > 0:50:30- That's respectable, isn't it?- Yes.
0:50:30 > 0:50:32- Good.- There's no shame in that.
0:50:33 > 0:50:36So if we check the leader board,
0:50:36 > 0:50:38James Lewis is still miles out in front.
0:50:38 > 0:50:40David and Phillip haven't done
0:50:40 > 0:50:42enough to break into the big time
0:50:42 > 0:50:43they haven't even got
0:50:43 > 0:50:44close to David Harper,
0:50:44 > 0:50:45who still has his
0:50:45 > 0:50:47Chinese display case to sell.
0:50:47 > 0:50:50Next up, it's Anita's pretty little mirror.
0:50:50 > 0:50:56Quite a bit of interest at 300, 320, 350. Here on the book at £350.
0:50:56 > 0:51:00I have 380, 380, against the telephone. Do I have bid 400?
0:51:00 > 0:51:03400, 420...
0:51:03 > 0:51:05Here with me at 420.
0:51:05 > 0:51:10440. 460. £460, here with me at 460.
0:51:10 > 0:51:13480? 480,
0:51:13 > 0:51:19500. £500, still my commission at 500. All done, this one, at £500.
0:51:19 > 0:51:22All finished here at 500.
0:51:22 > 0:51:24Yes, yes, yes, yes! Wasn't that wonderful!
0:51:24 > 0:51:27Well done, Anita! Well done indeed.
0:51:27 > 0:51:29How super was that?
0:51:29 > 0:51:33A thrilling result for Anita.
0:51:33 > 0:51:34Now it's James Braxton's turn.
0:51:34 > 0:51:38If buyers think his table WAS retailed by Liberty's,
0:51:38 > 0:51:40he could have a cheeky winner here.
0:51:42 > 0:51:44So James, octagonal table coming up.
0:51:44 > 0:51:48Exciting. The auctioneer has estimate £500 to £800.
0:51:48 > 0:51:51If it's picked up with it's potential Liberty whatnot,
0:51:51 > 0:51:54I reckon that thing could make £1,000.
0:51:54 > 0:51:56I think it's an extremely nice table,
0:51:56 > 0:51:59and extremely well bought by you. Anyway, here it comes.
0:51:59 > 0:52:01And we have a change of auctioneer.
0:52:01 > 0:52:05Possibly retailed by Liberty, circa 1900.
0:52:05 > 0:52:07- Ooh!- Ooh!
0:52:07 > 0:52:10I have interest here directly at 260, 280, 300.
0:52:10 > 0:52:14£300 now, on commission at 300. Any advance, please, at £300?
0:52:14 > 0:52:18At £300, then, at £300 on commission.
0:52:18 > 0:52:20Against us all, then, and selling at 300.
0:52:21 > 0:52:25£300. James, that is such bad luck.
0:52:25 > 0:52:29Well, poor old James. Very disappointing.
0:52:31 > 0:52:33No-one has got anywhere near
0:52:33 > 0:52:34to catching James Lewis, though.
0:52:34 > 0:52:36It's all down to David Harper
0:52:36 > 0:52:37and Mark Stacey.
0:52:37 > 0:52:40Can either of them beat James?
0:52:40 > 0:52:44First to go is David Harper and his heavily fancied
0:52:44 > 0:52:47Chinese display cabinet.
0:52:47 > 0:52:49Estimate £800 to £1,200. Here we go, Dave.
0:52:49 > 0:52:53Hardwood display cabinet, and I have interest here directly, at £500.
0:52:53 > 0:52:56At 50, 600. At £600 now.
0:52:56 > 0:53:00Any advance, please, at 600? At £600. 650, 700, against you.
0:53:00 > 0:53:04£700. With me now at 750.
0:53:04 > 0:53:07750. 800 on the telephone.
0:53:07 > 0:53:09850 in China.
0:53:09 > 0:53:13- 850 in China! It's going back home.- In China!
0:53:13 > 0:53:15900, £900 now on the telephone.
0:53:15 > 0:53:17950 on another telephone.
0:53:17 > 0:53:20Do the grand. Do the grand.
0:53:23 > 0:53:26- 1,000!- Yes!- 1,000 in China.
0:53:26 > 0:53:291,100, 1,200...
0:53:29 > 0:53:311,300, 1,400.
0:53:31 > 0:53:34In China now at £1,400, on the internet.
0:53:34 > 0:53:371,500, back on the telephone now.
0:53:37 > 0:53:391,600. 1,700.
0:53:39 > 0:53:43- Yes!- They do realise it's pounds, don't they?
0:53:43 > 0:53:461,900, come back to me on the internet. 2,000.
0:53:46 > 0:53:48- £2,000!- Aaah!
0:53:48 > 0:53:50You're certain, 2,000?
0:53:50 > 0:53:53Finished, then, at £2,000.
0:53:53 > 0:53:55On the internet and selling at 2,000.
0:53:55 > 0:53:56Well done, David.
0:53:56 > 0:53:58That is something, this is the man!
0:53:58 > 0:54:01Well, that was just extraordinary.
0:54:01 > 0:54:05Well above the estimate and a fine finish for David.
0:54:05 > 0:54:08So this is it, the ultimate lot to decide who is going
0:54:08 > 0:54:11to take home the trophy. Who is going to be
0:54:11 > 0:54:15the champion today of the Antiques Road Trip final?
0:54:15 > 0:54:20And to get this, Mark, you have to make £2,700 with your cabinet.
0:54:20 > 0:54:22How do you feel about that?
0:54:22 > 0:54:24- It's in the bag.- It's in the bag.
0:54:24 > 0:54:26The auctioneer's estimate is 500 to 700.
0:54:26 > 0:54:29It's a "come and get me", I feel it's a "come and get me" estimate,
0:54:29 > 0:54:33and I think we'll all be very, very surprised when he says,
0:54:33 > 0:54:38"I've got bidding in China, in Berlin, in Paris, in London..."
0:54:38 > 0:54:40- Brighton.- Brighton. Reading.
0:54:40 > 0:54:43- Reading.- Carlisle.- Greenwich. - They'll all be there.
0:54:43 > 0:54:45They'll all be there. Aberystwyth.
0:54:45 > 0:54:48- They'll be lining up for your cabinet, won't they?- Absolutely.
0:54:48 > 0:54:51I've got interest here, starting me directly at £300.
0:54:51 > 0:54:53320, 350, 380.
0:54:53 > 0:54:56400 I have now, at 400. At £400.
0:54:56 > 0:54:59Any advance, please, at 400. 420.
0:54:59 > 0:55:01I think the internet's down.
0:55:01 > 0:55:05485. 556. One more, Madam? 650, I have.
0:55:05 > 0:55:07Oh, 650! Well, I'm pleased with that.
0:55:07 > 0:55:10Here in the room at £650.
0:55:10 > 0:55:12Any further advance, please, at 650?
0:55:12 > 0:55:16At £650, your bid, Madam. I'll sell to you directly.
0:55:16 > 0:55:18At 650, then.
0:55:18 > 0:55:22Well, that's not bad, is it? £650. That's an achievement, actually.
0:55:23 > 0:55:26So Mark didn't get nearly enough to beat David.
0:55:27 > 0:55:32The Chinese cabinet fetched the biggest price by far,
0:55:32 > 0:55:35which means the Antiques Road Trip champion is David Harper!
0:55:35 > 0:55:39We now all appreciate just how difficult it is to go around
0:55:39 > 0:55:43the United Kingdom and make profits in all these obscure places
0:55:43 > 0:55:47that you have been. And you have done this now, David, big time.
0:55:47 > 0:55:50- You are our champion today, and congratulations.- Thank you so much.
0:55:50 > 0:55:55As our leader board shows, David's final total,
0:55:55 > 0:55:59after paying commission and adding in what he banked
0:55:59 > 0:56:05at the end of his trip, is a gargantuan £2,488.22.
0:56:05 > 0:56:09His arch-rival James Lewis, in the lead until today,
0:56:09 > 0:56:13is the runner-up, with £1,162.77.
0:56:13 > 0:56:15Then comes Mark Stacey,
0:56:15 > 0:56:20who's done very well to reach third place, with £565.94.
0:56:20 > 0:56:24And frankly, there's not too much to choose between the rest.
0:56:29 > 0:56:33Charles did sell his table for £260.
0:56:33 > 0:56:37Add it in with the entire profits of the Antiques Road Trip,
0:56:37 > 0:56:43it means £5,921.18 is going to Children In Need.
0:56:43 > 0:56:46Well played, road trippers!
0:56:46 > 0:56:51It's been one heck of a journey, and we hope you enjoyed the ride!
