0:00:02 > 0:00:04It's the nation's favourite antiques experts.
0:00:04 > 0:00:05I don't know what to do.
0:00:05 > 0:00:06HORN TOOTS
0:00:06 > 0:00:11With £200 each, a classic car and a goal to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:11 > 0:00:12What a little diamond.
0:00:12 > 0:00:17The aim, to make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20Back in the game. Charlie!
0:00:20 > 0:00:23There'll be worthy winners and valiant losers.
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Oh!
0:00:24 > 0:00:27So, will it be the high road to glory, or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Oh!
0:00:29 > 0:00:31This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Today marks the start of a brand spanking new road trip,
0:00:42 > 0:00:47with a couple of our old favourites, David Harper and Anita Manning.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Well, David, here we are in Lancashire,
0:00:50 > 0:00:53at the beginning of a big adventure.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55You've no idea what's going to happen.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58I think part of the excitement of the trip
0:00:58 > 0:01:01is meeting all the characters.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03It draws in the eccentric, doesn't it?
0:01:03 > 0:01:05- Look at us.- Exactly.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08You're telling me.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Take a seasoned auctioneer - Anita, for example.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13She's certainly got an eye for a bargain,
0:01:13 > 0:01:16but does have a tendency to get distracted.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18A hula hoop.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21It is all the hip action. One, two, three.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22Whoo!
0:01:22 > 0:01:24THEY LAUGH
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Cor, what a mover. Ha!
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Her partner in crime is wheeler-dealer David Harper.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32He takes a more serious approach to his shopping.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Is it a twizzly-wizzly? Look at that twizzly-wizzly!
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Normally...
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Oh! Ahem. Sorry about that, Roger.
0:01:39 > 0:01:40Mm.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Our lovable oddballs are starting this journey with £200 each.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Their mode of transport is an old favourite of Anita's,
0:01:49 > 0:01:52the 1965 Morris Minor convertible.
0:01:52 > 0:01:57OK, this week David and Anita will be travelling over 700 miles,
0:01:57 > 0:02:01starting in Ramsbottom, Lancashire, before snaking through Yorkshire,
0:02:01 > 0:02:05all the way up to the town of Paisley in Bonnie Scotland.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09They begin in the market town of Ramsbottom,
0:02:09 > 0:02:12and head towards an auction in Knutsford.
0:02:13 > 0:02:19- Off we go.- Have a lovely time. - Thank you.- Bye.- Bye-bye.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22David's first shop is Memories Antiques and Collectors,
0:02:22 > 0:02:24where he's meeting dealer John.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26- Hello, there, you must be John. - I am.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28- Hello, John, David Harper. - Hello, David.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29Very lovely to meet you.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Right, David, let's get going.
0:02:35 > 0:02:36Nice box.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Look at this thing,
0:02:38 > 0:02:42it's a mid-19th century walnut brass-bound writing slope.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46It is absolutely, to my mind, drop dead gorgeous.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48But in the market, nobody wants it,
0:02:48 > 0:02:53and that's why it's languishing now, in an antiques centre, at £68
0:02:53 > 0:02:58when, years ago, that would have been £200 or £300 or even £400.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00It's an absolute stonker.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04I've found fantastic love letters in things like this.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Hidden away in secret compartments.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12What an old romantic. One to think about, perhaps.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14What else catches your eye in here, then?
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Do you know what that is? Without reading the label.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Oh, no, no, I'm not.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Doesn't that sink into the ground, is that something...
0:03:26 > 0:03:30- That's right. It's a boot scraper. - I like that.- Yes, it is very nice.
0:03:30 > 0:03:31I like that.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35It is indeed a 20th-century blacksmith-made wrought iron
0:03:35 > 0:03:39boot pull and scrape. That's a bit of a tongue twister.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Ticket price is £65.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44What sort of money could that be?
0:03:44 > 0:03:4545.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49- I think we'll have to say yes, don't you?- I hope so.- OK.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51- We've done a deal. - Thank you very much.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56That generous discount gives David his first item.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Meanwhile, Anita is heading just eight miles down the road,
0:04:03 > 0:04:05where she is on the hunt for a bargain in Bolton.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11She's visiting Bolton Antique Centre for a good old scout round.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- I'm always drawn to jewellery, I always like it.- Yeah, yeah.
0:04:20 > 0:04:25- And I noticed that you had a couple of Robert Allison pieces.- I have.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28I like his work.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Robert Allison is a renowned Glasgow silversmith
0:04:31 > 0:04:33and Anita is a right sucker for jewellery,
0:04:33 > 0:04:36especially with a Celtic theme.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38- I'm trying not to spend too much money...- I understand.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42- This is my very first buy. - I understand.- My very first buy.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46The Celtic cross brooch is cheaper, and priced at £65.
0:04:46 > 0:04:52What's the very, very, very, very best you can do on that?
0:04:52 > 0:04:5328.
0:04:53 > 0:04:5528? Let's go for it.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- That's absolutely wonderful.- Thank you.- I'm so pleased about that.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01I bought a Scottish thing, my very first buy!
0:05:01 > 0:05:02Excellent.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06That's a whopping £37 discount.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Off to a strong start here, girl.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13Anita's eye has been caught by another piece of jewellery -
0:05:13 > 0:05:15a diamond and pearl set stick pin.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18It's referred to as yellow metal rather than gold,
0:05:18 > 0:05:20as it's got no hallmark.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Ticket price is £95.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25What is the best that you could do on that?
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Um...
0:05:28 > 0:05:2960.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34- If it was hallmarked, I would be more encouraged to go with it.- OK.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39- But I still think it's a bonny thing.- Would 45 help?
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Oh, I'm so tempted!
0:05:44 > 0:05:49That's another great discount of over 50%!
0:05:49 > 0:05:51She's on a roll with Rosemary -
0:05:51 > 0:05:54and also has her eye on a set of knife rests.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Ticket price is £36.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02The only thing I worry a wee bit about is the age of them.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04I really don't know.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- I've got a dilemma here.- OK.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- Little pearl pin...- Mm.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15set of leaping, crazy horses.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Could I buy the two for 50?
0:06:18 > 0:06:2055, I'd be happy.
0:06:20 > 0:06:2155.
0:06:23 > 0:06:2452?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Go on, we'll do 52.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- Will we do 52?- 52.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- Thank you very much, that's great. - Pleasure.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34So, that's the knife rests for £12,
0:06:34 > 0:06:36and the stick pin for 40.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Added to the earlier purchase of her brooch,
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Anita's already parted with almost half her budget.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Back in Ramsbottom, David's search for a deal continues with John.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- Eh, eh - car badges. Car-related stuff is good.- Yeah.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- Well, if you like car-related stuff...- I do.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Them gas headlights.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Ah. Interesting objects.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02They're from a very early vintage car, aren't they?
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Ah, right - OK.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09- Gas ones, so... - I think that would date them...
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Edwardian - 1905, 1910.- Right.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- Can we have a look? - Course you can.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Right...
0:07:19 > 0:07:21- Look at the lenses - look at that glass.- Yeah.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- You can see actually that's hand-blown glass.- Yeah.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25David's smitten.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28But with a ticket price of £120,
0:07:28 > 0:07:31John needs to speak to the owner.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33David's bid is £60.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36You can have them for £60.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Right, thanks, John. Bye.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- Have we done it?- You've done the deal.- Marvellous, put it there.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44- Very good.- Not bad at all.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48But there's still one more item on his mind - or heart, I should say.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54So, Gina. The 19th-century writing box. Any price on that?
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- I think we've had a chat, haven't we? 55.- 55.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00(Ohhh...)
0:08:00 > 0:08:02It's devastating.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03What were YOU thinking?
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- DAVID SIGHS - I love it. I love it.
0:08:06 > 0:08:0830 I'd have a go, but I've still got a chance of...
0:08:08 > 0:08:10It could make 60, it could make 10 quid.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13What about 35 and we'll give you a pound back for luck?
0:08:16 > 0:08:17Go on, then - whose hand do I shake?
0:08:17 > 0:08:19I'm going to shake your hand as well.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22So, 35 and a pound back for luck.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24This is old school trading, isn't it?!
0:08:24 > 0:08:27OK, come on then, mathematician - how much do I owe you?
0:08:27 > 0:08:30£139, by my count.
0:08:30 > 0:08:3345 for the boot pull and scrape,
0:08:33 > 0:08:3560 for the gas head lamps
0:08:35 > 0:08:37and 34 on the writing slope.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40He's also parted with quite a chunk of his budget.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45David is back on the open road,
0:08:45 > 0:08:48and heading for the town of Todmorden.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50He's visiting Picture House Antiques,
0:08:50 > 0:08:53clutching his remaining 61 smackers.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57Wa-hey!
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Gosh, quite a contemporary feel, don't you think,
0:09:02 > 0:09:03if you look around?
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Nicely spread out. Big, red walls.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07Modern things...
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Well, modern - '60s, '70s, vintage, retro,
0:09:10 > 0:09:13mixed with 18th-century furniture - it just works.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17- Now, you must be Roger. - Yes, how are you, David?
0:09:17 > 0:09:20The thing I'm interested in is a real antique,
0:09:20 > 0:09:22but it's got a contemporary feel about it.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25That's the copper Art Nouveau Arts and Crafts dish.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30I mean, it's pretty standard fare, isn't it?
0:09:30 > 0:09:33But because it's reasonably plain,
0:09:33 > 0:09:37it's got a bit of a modern look about it, hasn't it?
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- I think that's circa 1900, bang on.- Yeah.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44It's got the Arts and Crafts quality, as in it's handmade,
0:09:44 > 0:09:48hand-beaten and it's got the Art Nouveau decoration.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53I'd have it for 20 quid. I would say yes and shake your hand right there.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Let me just consult with Pamela, because she knows this person.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Quite right. That would be a 50% off the ticket price.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04So, let's hope Pamela's feeling generous.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Can I then, Roger, Pamela, buy it for 20?
0:10:09 > 0:10:10Let's have a look.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12- Don't look, but say yes!- Yes!
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Can I? Marvellous! Thank you very much!
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Lovely to meet you and do a deal.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19And, Roger, thank you for that one.
0:10:20 > 0:10:25A cracking deal, eh? Anything else that would suit his meagre budget?
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- The trick I think, Roger... - How much have you got left?
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- I've got £41 left.- Yeah? - After I've bought this.
0:10:31 > 0:10:36Give me £41, you can have that piano stool, which sells for 100.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- I haven't seen the piano stool. - It's an American one - here.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42We're off somewhere else! Right.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45- That...- Oh, yeah?
0:10:45 > 0:10:47- ..I bought for a lot of money.- OK.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49- But with a lot of other things. - Is it a twizzly-wizzly?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- It's a twizzly-wizzly. - Look at that twizzly-wizzly!
0:10:52 > 0:10:53Oh, Lordy.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55That is marvellous.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56Oh, yes.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59You had him at twizzly-wizzly, Roger.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02I've brought back several of these, because I brought a container,
0:11:02 > 0:11:05a 40-foot container of antiques back from America. Normally...
0:11:05 > 0:11:06Oh!
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- That's all right, it does that! - Sorry about that, Roger!
0:11:09 > 0:11:10Careful, David, eh?
0:11:10 > 0:11:14I thought I was spinning it in the correct direction.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15It's all right, that's what it does.
0:11:15 > 0:11:20- This is probably not far off American Civil War.- No, it's good.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- 1865-ish.- Yeah.- 1880, maybe.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Sometimes they're a mixture of things.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Don't you find that amazing, when you handle an object...
0:11:28 > 0:11:31that you know was either in existence
0:11:31 > 0:11:32during the American Civil War,
0:11:32 > 0:11:35or used by people who were there during the Civil War.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39- And how much is it?- £41.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41- Roger THAT.- OK.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44And that's all my money gone.
0:11:44 > 0:11:49David has now bought a late 19th-century piano stool for £41,
0:11:49 > 0:11:52an Art Nouveau copper dish for £20...
0:11:52 > 0:11:56A brave move spending all his money on day one.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57Nighty-night!
0:12:02 > 0:12:04David may well be all spent up,
0:12:04 > 0:12:06but our pair are racing to Wallassey,
0:12:06 > 0:12:09where Anita still has £120 to spend.
0:12:11 > 0:12:16Anita's meeting Tina at the aptly-named Tina's Treasures.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Fingers crossed she finds some.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22And without further ado, she's off.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Just like a kid in a toy shop.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28I like hats. I really like hats.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30And toys too, apparently.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31Ah!
0:12:31 > 0:12:32THEY LAUGH
0:12:34 > 0:12:37What a lovely, smiley doll.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40This doll, she's so sweet.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Hi! You're bringing a smile to my face.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49Tina, could you tell me a wee bit about this doll here?
0:12:49 > 0:12:53It's a...Norah Wellings, Islander.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Yes, she made this range around the 1930s.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Originally, I think it may have had feet,
0:12:59 > 0:13:02but because I haven't found one quite the same...
0:13:02 > 0:13:05But it's just beautiful features, isn't it? Really sweet.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09Norah Wellings was a highly esteemed soft doll maker.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14She designed all of her dolls herself.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Her motto was, "Quality, not quantity,"
0:13:16 > 0:13:20which obviously worked, as they're still very collectable today.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23The doll's priced at £55.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Time for some serious haggling.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30What I would do, I'd probably put say...
0:13:30 > 0:13:3315 to 20 on it.
0:13:33 > 0:13:34How about 25?
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Is it possible to...
0:13:37 > 0:13:40To say 20 on her?
0:13:40 > 0:13:41- I'll do 20 on her.- Will we do 20?
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- That'll give you a chance, then. - That'll give me a chance.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45- Look, she's smiling!- She is!
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- You've got a new mummy! - And she's going to have a new home!
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- Tina, thank you very much. - You're most welcome.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56David, meanwhile,
0:13:56 > 0:13:58is journeying across the Mersey.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Well, under it, actually.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- ENGINE PURRS - Ohh!
0:14:03 > 0:14:07Even the Moggy Minor sounds throaty going through this tunnel.
0:14:08 > 0:14:09HE CHUCKLES
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Much of Liverpool's economic growth
0:14:12 > 0:14:15came from the Mersey and its maritime trade.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19# So ferry cross the Mersey
0:14:19 > 0:14:21# Cos this land's... #
0:14:21 > 0:14:25Sadly, and less well-known, is the fact that the cornerstone
0:14:25 > 0:14:29of this wealth was derived from its transatlantic slave trade.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32But one unsung hero fought for equality and justice.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Edward Rushton was a poet and revolutionary.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39After losing his sight in his late teens,
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Rushton introduced facilities for the blind,
0:14:41 > 0:14:44and played an important role in the abolition of slavery,
0:14:44 > 0:14:48even taking on the President of the United States.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51So, Alex, who exactly was Edward Rushton?
0:14:51 > 0:14:56Well, Edward Rushton was the man who dared to take on George Washington.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- This is him here? - This is a portrait by Moses Horton.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03He was a boy who was at sea at the age of ten.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06His father apprenticed him to a slaving company,
0:15:06 > 0:15:09and Liverpool, in the 1770s,
0:15:09 > 0:15:13was the capital of the slave trade.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17During this time, Edward witnessed first-hand
0:15:17 > 0:15:20the cruelty the slaves were forced to endure.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23He made a good friend in an African -
0:15:23 > 0:15:26a boy called Kwamina, who he taught to read.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30Kwamina and he were in a boat that capsized,
0:15:30 > 0:15:32and Kwamina actually saved his life.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36But in doing so, he lost his own.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40Greatly moved by his friend's sacrifice,
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Rushton devoted his life to championing all oppression,
0:15:43 > 0:15:46in particular the abolitionist cause.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50During one particular journey, he discovered many slaves were locked
0:15:50 > 0:15:54below deck due to a contagious eye infection that led to blindness.
0:15:55 > 0:16:00Appalled by their suffering, he insisted on taking them food.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03As a grim consequence, he too succumbed to infection,
0:16:03 > 0:16:05and lost his own sight.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09As a result of this, he came home to Liverpool
0:16:09 > 0:16:12a blind man, impoverished.
0:16:12 > 0:16:13At what age?
0:16:13 > 0:16:16At what age? At only just 19.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Despite his disability, and with little assistance,
0:16:19 > 0:16:23Rushton took on various jobs, including editor of a paper.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27He continued to campaign against slavery through his poetry,
0:16:27 > 0:16:28and more famously,
0:16:28 > 0:16:32a letter he sent to the first President of the United States.
0:16:32 > 0:16:39- In 1796, he writes a letter to George Washington...- Right.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43..lambasting him for being a personal owner of slaves
0:16:43 > 0:16:47and for failing to free the enslaved people
0:16:47 > 0:16:52when he beat the English and set up the American state.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Well, of course - he'd just fought the War of Independence, hadn't he?
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Giving freedom to all Americans,
0:16:57 > 0:17:02apart from, quite obviously, the slaves. Huge contradiction.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05How does he go about this letter?
0:17:05 > 0:17:07This is what he says -
0:17:07 > 0:17:10"Shame, shame that man should be deemed the property of man.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13"Or that the name of Washington should be found
0:17:13 > 0:17:16"among the list of such proprietors."
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Does George Washington respond to this?
0:17:19 > 0:17:22George Washington sent the letter back, apparently,
0:17:22 > 0:17:25with no word of reply.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Not to be deterred, Rushton published the letter,
0:17:29 > 0:17:32both in the UK and the States.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36It went on to play an important part in the abolitionist campaigns,
0:17:36 > 0:17:39particularly in the US.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41You know, I think the irony is marvellous,
0:17:41 > 0:17:44because the insult was sent back, but he takes the opportunity
0:17:44 > 0:17:48to use that letter and reignites the abolition movement.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50The abolition of slavery
0:17:50 > 0:17:53was not the only movement Rushton was involved in.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55A passionate and outspoken revolutionary,
0:17:55 > 0:17:59he couldn't help but rail against the injustices he encountered.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02And there was none more close to home
0:18:02 > 0:18:05than the plight of the visually impaired.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Now, Rushton, blind in the late 18th century,
0:18:08 > 0:18:11that would have made life pretty difficult.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12At this time,
0:18:12 > 0:18:15there were no facilities in the UK to help the blind.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Knowing just how difficult it was
0:18:18 > 0:18:20to support oneself with this impairment,
0:18:20 > 0:18:24Rushton campaigned to build a ground-breaking school.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28This was to open in January 1791.
0:18:29 > 0:18:34And the idea was that the people who would attend the school
0:18:34 > 0:18:37would be trained to be self-supporting.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Was this the first school of its type in Liverpool?
0:18:40 > 0:18:44It was, it was the first school of its type in the country.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- My gosh.- And it's still going.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50King George IV was later to become a patron of the school,
0:18:50 > 0:18:54and the number of students steadily grew.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58This school had 45 students within two...three years.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02And, by the end of the century, they were having to build,
0:19:02 > 0:19:04because they had 80 people on the waiting list.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Rushton may have been forgotten for 200 years,
0:19:07 > 0:19:11but he was remembered in the blind school, and that is his legacy.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Rushton dedicated his life to battling oppression
0:19:14 > 0:19:18whenever he encountered it, and remained politically active
0:19:18 > 0:19:21until his death in 1814.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23His school still exists today,
0:19:23 > 0:19:26a testament to its little-known founder
0:19:26 > 0:19:28and his incredible achievements.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Anita has now hotfooted it to Liverpool,
0:19:38 > 0:19:41and is heading into Wayne Colquhoun Antiques.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44She's still got £100 left to spend.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- Hello, I'm Anita.- How are you?
0:19:47 > 0:19:48I'm great.
0:19:50 > 0:19:51Wayne,
0:19:51 > 0:19:57- what about something as simple as a cocktail shaker?- Oh, yes.
0:19:57 > 0:19:58Full of fingerprints.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Uh-huh, yeah.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Yeah, that's...
0:20:03 > 0:20:05When that's shined up and it's clean and silver...
0:20:05 > 0:20:08All bright, it sort of sums up the age, you know?
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- People would sit around and make their Martinis and things.- Uh-huh.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Bet you do that at home now, yourself.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- Saturday night! - Saturday night, my cocktails!
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Have a little shake and a shimmy.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Is it...? It's empty.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25A bit early, Anita.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Ticket price is £20.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Could that be bought...
0:20:31 > 0:20:32for a tenner?
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Not quite a tenner.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Because it's a good one, that. It's a good, thick plate on that.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43- Let's do 15, but I couldn't go much below 15.- You couldn't go below?- No.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Could you go to 12?
0:20:48 > 0:20:50- Don't if you don't want to.- Um...
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Go on, seeing as it's you. I'll do £12!
0:20:53 > 0:20:55I knew I was in for a rough ride!
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- Oh, thank you!- As soon as I saw you!- Thank you so much!
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Bottoms up, chaps.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03So, for £12, Anita has bought her final item -
0:21:03 > 0:21:05an Art Deco cocktail shaker.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Which, along with her Celtic brooch,
0:21:08 > 0:21:10leaping horses knife rests,
0:21:10 > 0:21:13diamond and pearl-set pin
0:21:13 > 0:21:15and Norah Wellings doll,
0:21:15 > 0:21:17cost her a total of £112.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20David went all-out
0:21:20 > 0:21:24and spent his full £200 on day one,
0:21:24 > 0:21:27picking up a 20th-century boot pull and scrape,
0:21:27 > 0:21:30some vintage motorcar headlamps,
0:21:30 > 0:21:32a mid-19th century writing slope,
0:21:32 > 0:21:35a piano stool,
0:21:35 > 0:21:38and an Art Nouveau copper dish.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41But what do they think of each other's purchases?
0:21:41 > 0:21:45Let's start from the top - boring, the stick pin.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48I mean, I have seen millions of those things,
0:21:48 > 0:21:51and I don't dream about them.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55David has a mixed bag of items there.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59Some of which I like and some of which I think are...weird.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Only time will tell who has bought best
0:22:02 > 0:22:06as our experts travel the final 30 miles to their first auction
0:22:06 > 0:22:09at Knutsford Fine Art Auctioneers.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12- Here we are.- Just in here, David.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Get you right to the door, madam.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18"Auction today!" Hello!
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Our auctioneer is Rachel Houston-Holland.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Let the auction commence.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29First up is David's Art Nouveau copper dish.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31- Are you nervous? Are you nervous? - Yes! Aren't you nervous?
0:22:31 > 0:22:33- No.- No! I am.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35£20 to start.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- Yes.- £10 then, if it helps. 10, I have. 10, 12,
0:22:38 > 0:22:4115, 18, 20, at £18...
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- Come on.- ..selling now at £18.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46At £18, selling now at 18.
0:22:46 > 0:22:47I want to shout, Anita.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Oh! £2 down.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Yes, but it's a very small loss.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Next are Anita's leaping horse knife rests.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59£10. £10 for them, surely.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02- £10.- Come on!- £10. Come on, £10.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Thank you, madam. £10.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Lady's bid now at £10, and 12, 15,
0:23:06 > 0:23:09- 15, 18...- Oh, oh.- ..20.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- 22, 25...- Yes.- ..28,
0:23:12 > 0:23:1430. At £28...
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- Oh.- ..gentleman's bid now at £28.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Are we all done now? Selling at 28.
0:23:20 > 0:23:21Yes!
0:23:22 > 0:23:24They may not have been silver,
0:23:24 > 0:23:27but Anita's more than doubled her money there.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Well done. Well done, very good start.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Let's see if she can continue to stir things up
0:23:32 > 0:23:36with her self-polished Art Deco cocktail shaker.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39- £10 for it, £10, I have... - Oh, they're in, look.
0:23:39 > 0:23:4112, 15, 18, 20.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44- At £18, on my left, selling now at £18...- I love it, Anita.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Are we all done? Selling, £18.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50- Oh, check it. Well done, well done. - £18.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55Another profit for Anita. Cheers to that.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58You're on fire, missus. You're on fire.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02Back with David and his tongue twister of a boot pull and scrape.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04£20. £20, thank you, sir.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Someone knows what he's doing there.
0:24:06 > 0:24:0820, 22, 25, 28.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10- A long way to go.- £25, seated.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14- Are we all done, surely, at £25?- No!
0:24:15 > 0:24:16Anita!
0:24:16 > 0:24:19That's another loss for David, I'm afraid.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Ah, ah...
0:24:22 > 0:24:24ANITA LAUGHS
0:24:25 > 0:24:29Fingers crossed his walnut writing slope will put him back in the game.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33- And I must start the bidding now, at £30 commission...- Yes, yes.- Come on.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Commission bid now, 32, 35, £38...
0:24:36 > 0:24:37Come on, come on.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41In the room, and 40, 42, 45, 48, 50.
0:24:41 > 0:24:42- 50 anywhere else?- Come on.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46£48, on my left. Selling. 50, fresh bidder. 55,
0:24:46 > 0:24:48- 60...- Yes.- Good.- Come on.
0:24:48 > 0:24:53No, at...£55, on my left, selling now, are we all done?
0:24:53 > 0:24:55- Oh!- 60, back in. 65...
0:24:55 > 0:24:59- He's got taste, this fella. - ..gentleman's bid at 60.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01- Marvellous.- Yes.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Marvellous, indeed.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06David followed his heart, and with that one, it paid off.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10- Are you happy now? - I'm delighted.- Ah.- I'm delighted.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13- That's good, that's good.- Back on an even keel now, aren't I?- You are.
0:25:13 > 0:25:14- So that's good.- Excellent.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19Now it is David's late 19th-century piano stool.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22A twizzly-wizzly, if memory serves.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24£40, surely, to start. Come on, £40.
0:25:24 > 0:25:2620?
0:25:26 > 0:25:28You all want it now, for £20.
0:25:28 > 0:25:33You, sir, right at the back at 20. 22, 25, 28, 30, 32, 35.
0:25:33 > 0:25:3535 anywhere else?
0:25:35 > 0:25:38- 35, thank you, 38.- Come on.- 40.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40- Come on, come on.- 42, 45.- Come on.
0:25:40 > 0:25:46No? It's at £42. A gentleman, fresh bidder, 45, 48, 50.
0:25:46 > 0:25:4755, 60.
0:25:47 > 0:25:4965, 70.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53- At £65...- Ooh! - ..on my left now, nice lot...
0:25:53 > 0:25:56- It is nice.- £65.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- Good.- Good, well, good. - Well done, David.- So...
0:25:59 > 0:26:03After a shaky start, that's a second good profit for David.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07- 24 profit.- Now, are you happy? - I'm happy. I've been happy all day.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09ANITA LAUGHS
0:26:09 > 0:26:10OK, Mr Happy.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12THEY LAUGH
0:26:12 > 0:26:16Back to Anita now, as her Norah Wellings doll is up next.
0:26:16 > 0:26:17£30.
0:26:17 > 0:26:1920 then, if it helps.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23£20 at the back, and 22 works, come on, it seems cheap, at £20...
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- Oh, that...- Oh...- ..22, 25, 28, 30.
0:26:26 > 0:26:31- No, it's at £28.- Oh.- On my left now at £28, are we all done?
0:26:31 > 0:26:33- Surely, at 28. - DAVID LAUGHS
0:26:34 > 0:26:38Anita has secured a profit on every item so far.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42David's final and most expensive item,
0:26:42 > 0:26:46the gas-powered car lamps, were a bit of a gamble.
0:26:46 > 0:26:47£20 I have, at £20.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Standing now, are we all done? 22, 25.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52At 28, 30.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- At £30, in the room now at £30. - Come on.- 32?
0:26:55 > 0:26:5732, 35. 38.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00At £35, standing now, are we all done?
0:27:00 > 0:27:04- Come on, guys.- At £35. 35.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Light the match, Anita.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Say goodbye.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11- To tell you the truth, I'm surprised they went that far!- Oh, charming(!)
0:27:11 > 0:27:12THEY LAUGH
0:27:14 > 0:27:15Oh, bad luck, David.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22But let's see if Anita's pin will keep up her run of profits.
0:27:22 > 0:27:23I've got commission interest.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27- Yes, commission bid! - I'll start the bids at...
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- £28, to start.- Ooh. - £28 to start...- 28.- ..30,
0:27:30 > 0:27:3432, 35, at £35 on my left now, at 35.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37- Come on, come on! - Selling now at £35, are we all done?
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Selling at 35...
0:27:40 > 0:27:42- 35.- Mmm!
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Nearly made it.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46- Nearly made it.- Mmm, nearly.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Anita's first loss of the day, but it's a small one.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52That was a big diamond. Well, it was a little diamond.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55- No, but you bigged it up, that was good.- I bigged it up.
0:27:55 > 0:27:56THEY LAUGH
0:27:56 > 0:28:01It's their final item of the day, Anita's Robert Allison brooch.
0:28:01 > 0:28:02Last one.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06- £20. £20...- No... - ..come on, 10 then?
0:28:06 > 0:28:08£10. 10, I have, 12, 15.
0:28:08 > 0:28:1018, 20.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12At £18 at the back of the room now,
0:28:12 > 0:28:14at £18. Are we all done?
0:28:14 > 0:28:16- Mm...- Selling now at £18...
0:28:18 > 0:28:19C2...
0:28:19 > 0:28:23- The two jewellery pieces brought me down there.- Yeah. Interesting.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27That's disappointing. Anita normally does well with jewellery.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30- This is a very complicated sum. - That's why I'm leaving it to you.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33- What are you going to do?- Have a cup of tea.- I'm going to come with you.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35- Oh, come on then.- Good idea. Ha!
0:28:36 > 0:28:38And the numbers are in.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41Our two competitors started this road trip with £200 each.
0:28:41 > 0:28:47After paying auction costs, David made a loss of £33.54,
0:28:47 > 0:28:52leaving him with £166.46 to carry forward.
0:28:53 > 0:28:58Anita made a smaller loss of just £7.86,
0:28:58 > 0:29:00and emerges victorious,
0:29:00 > 0:29:05with £192.14 for the next adventure.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Onward, Macduff!
0:29:07 > 0:29:10McHarper! THEY LAUGH
0:29:10 > 0:29:11Onward indeed.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20It's a new day and a new leg.
0:29:20 > 0:29:24Our duo are starting off in the Yorkshire village of Barmby Moor
0:29:24 > 0:29:28before heading west for an auction in Harrogate.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32And first up for David is Bar Farm Antiques,
0:29:32 > 0:29:36which occupies several old farm buildings, funnily enough.
0:29:39 > 0:29:40In spite of the size of the place,
0:29:40 > 0:29:44David spots something straight off the bat.
0:29:44 > 0:29:49That is a really, really wild thing. What on earth was it?
0:29:49 > 0:29:54Well, I'm guessing we are talking about police station, circa 1955.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58I'm the police sergeant, you're the criminal,
0:29:58 > 0:30:01you're on that side, I've nabbed you.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04You're in big trouble, and I want your fingerprints.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08And I think this is basically a fingerprint...
0:30:08 > 0:30:10I want to call it a machine.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14David likes it, so let's meet dealer Greg from New Orleans.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17- Are you looking for a price?- Yes.
0:30:17 > 0:30:18Er... 45.
0:30:18 > 0:30:23- 45.- I think that's pretty good price for a piece of furniture.
0:30:23 > 0:30:24DAVID SIGHS
0:30:24 > 0:30:26It couldn't be 20?
0:30:26 > 0:30:28No, it can't be 20.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31You can't do a little better than that?
0:30:31 > 0:30:35Why don't we do what all the best dealers in the world have done
0:30:35 > 0:30:37for a million years.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41Compromise, meet in the middle.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43And where was the middle starting?
0:30:43 > 0:30:45- 25. - GREG CHUCKLES
0:30:45 > 0:30:48- That'll do.- Good man. Thank you very much.- That's all right.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51A great deal, David.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56Meanwhile, Anita's off to the beautiful walled city of York.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02She has just over £192 to spend, so hopefully,
0:31:02 > 0:31:06Becky at the Antiques Centre York will be able to help out.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11- I quite like these wee silly condiments up here.- Yeah?
0:31:11 > 0:31:13- Do you want to have a look?- Yeah.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22They're a heck of a good fun. I think they're probably Continental.
0:31:22 > 0:31:23But good fun.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26Oh, I'm quite tempted.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29Ticket price is £10.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33Ooh, look. There's more.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35More condiments.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37This time...
0:31:38 > 0:31:40..cuddling pigs.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43That one's got a school tie on. THEY CHUCKLE
0:31:43 > 0:31:47They have a collective price of £26.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51I wonder if you could ask if these could be bought for...
0:31:52 > 0:31:54..15?
0:31:54 > 0:31:57- You can always ask. - I can always ask.- Uh-huh.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59That's quite a discount Anita's wanting,
0:31:59 > 0:32:02and after a quick phone call to the owners...
0:32:02 > 0:32:05- How did we get on? - He can do two for 18.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08- Ah, wonderful, wonderful. Thank you very much.- You're welcome.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10- They're fun, aren't they? - They are fun, yeah.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12If you say so!
0:32:13 > 0:32:15Now, what's David up to?
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Tell you something, this is quite unusual, isn't it?
0:32:19 > 0:32:20I just... It's a neat thing.
0:32:20 > 0:32:26I like post office things, plus it is old and during the war and...
0:32:26 > 0:32:28it's nice. And the way it's just worn.
0:32:28 > 0:32:34George VI, he was on the throne from 1937 to our current Queen.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37Greg got this sign from a local post office.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40Items like this can be hugely collectable.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43"Can" being the operative word.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46- I would have a go at 30 or 40.- OK.
0:32:46 > 0:32:50- Is that anywhere near for you?- It might be all right. 40 is all right.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52- OK.- 40 is all right.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54I'll have a go at 40.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58- OK, I want you to make some money. - Thank you very much. Good show.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Well, that was easy. At £40, that's another good deal.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08And Anita has also made an interesting find.
0:33:08 > 0:33:13Here we have a sort of 1950s, a kind of kid on agate,
0:33:13 > 0:33:15- it's all kid on, isn't it? - Yeah.
0:33:15 > 0:33:20Otherwise known as costume jewellery, Anita. Ticket price £18.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23- If I can get it for a tenner, that would be great.- Yeah, I'll ask.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25- Do you want to try?- Yeah.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28Do your best for me, darling.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31Anita is all about the cheeky offers today.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33But will Becky come through for her again?
0:33:33 > 0:33:35- Yeah, we can do that.- Can you?!
0:33:35 > 0:33:36THEY LAUGH
0:33:37 > 0:33:39Come here.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41You have been very good.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Yeah, a tenner is good indeed.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47Frugal Anita has now bought two items for just £28.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53David, meanwhile, is still exploring.
0:33:53 > 0:33:57I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with sofas like this.
0:33:57 > 0:34:01He's found a 1920s drop-end settee.
0:34:01 > 0:34:02Please, sit down.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Let me demonstrate how this sofa works.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07Greg, please step into my office.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09- Right, get yourself comfortable. - I'm all right.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13- How are the springs feeling?- Mm-hm. Pretty good.- Are you sure?- Perfect.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15- Because they often stick in places...- No, it's perfect.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18..you don't want. No, they are sticking in places you don't want.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20They are definitely sticking...
0:34:20 > 0:34:23Not surprising, in those tight trousers, David.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25There we go.
0:34:25 > 0:34:30- Ah, I can lay down. - You can be recumbent.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33- So it converts into a little chaise. - Aah!
0:34:33 > 0:34:36So in the business, it's referred to as a 1920s drop-arm...
0:34:36 > 0:34:39- Don't fall asleep, cos I'm not that boring!- OK.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42These settees can be picked up cheaply, as they can cost
0:34:42 > 0:34:45over £1,000 to restore and cover.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47How much is it?
0:34:47 > 0:34:49- £20.- No, yeah...
0:34:49 > 0:34:51I want to say, "For goodness' sake buy it for 20 quid,
0:34:51 > 0:34:54"it's ridiculous, cost you 5,000, 7,000 to...
0:34:54 > 0:34:56- £10!- £5.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58Five?!
0:34:58 > 0:34:59Five?!
0:34:59 > 0:35:02The wheels are worth five!
0:35:02 > 0:35:03£5. Good man!
0:35:05 > 0:35:08- Greg, it's a delight doing business with you.- All right.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11David's spent a total of £70 on three items.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13Pretty good for a morning's shopping!
0:35:17 > 0:35:20Anita, meanwhile, is on her way to Murton,
0:35:20 > 0:35:22a small village on the outskirts of York.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25She's visiting the Yorkshire Museum of Farming
0:35:25 > 0:35:30and meeting curator Louise to learn about the Women's Land Army,
0:35:30 > 0:35:33an institution that was established during the First World War.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36At this time, the majority of men were on the battlefields,
0:35:36 > 0:35:39and it was estimated that Britain would run out of food
0:35:39 > 0:35:41within three weeks.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44In response, women were rallied to help out in the fields
0:35:44 > 0:35:49to build food supplies. Bless 'em!
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Who were the land girls?
0:35:51 > 0:35:54They were inspirational women, really,
0:35:54 > 0:35:57again, out of the kitchens and back onto the land,
0:35:57 > 0:36:00showing that they were just as capable as the men
0:36:00 > 0:36:02of doing these jobs.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05Many of the girls came from the city, and with no real training,
0:36:05 > 0:36:08were flung straight in at the deep end -
0:36:08 > 0:36:11ploughing fields, clearing ditches, milking cows,
0:36:11 > 0:36:14all the things a man would have traditionally done.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17- I imagine it might have been a bit of a shock to the system.- Yeah.
0:36:17 > 0:36:22To get involved in very hard manual labour.
0:36:22 > 0:36:23Yeah, I imagine it would have been.
0:36:23 > 0:36:28You do see examples as well about a woman being killed by a horse,
0:36:28 > 0:36:30cos she was thrown off the horse,
0:36:30 > 0:36:33so, yes, it was very hard work at the time.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36- And could be dangerous. - Yeah, it could be very dangerous.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38At the end of the First World War,
0:36:38 > 0:36:43women were encouraged to return to more ladylike occupations.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46That doesn't seem awful fair, does it?
0:36:46 > 0:36:49- They'd been given a taste of freedom.- Girls, you've done well.
0:36:49 > 0:36:50Off you go back home to the kitchen!
0:36:50 > 0:36:54Their contribution to the war effort went a long way
0:36:54 > 0:36:56to help the women's suffrage movement.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59By the time the Land Army was re-established
0:36:59 > 0:37:01for the Second World War,
0:37:01 > 0:37:04women had been afforded the right to vote for over a decade.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08How many women worked on the land? How many land girls did we have?
0:37:08 > 0:37:12In the Second World War, by the end of it,
0:37:12 > 0:37:14there was about 80,000 of them.
0:37:14 > 0:37:20Dorothy Taylor and Iris Newbold are two of these exceptional women.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23They belonged to the East Riding Women's Land Army,
0:37:23 > 0:37:25and now, aged 87 and 90,
0:37:25 > 0:37:29are two of only three that are still alive today.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32- What was your favourite job? - Haymaking.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35I loved haymaking, the old way.
0:37:35 > 0:37:40We used to load up the wagon, and then sit on top of the hay wagon
0:37:40 > 0:37:42and roll home with the horse and wagon.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46Wonderful days, I loved hay time.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48And long, hot summers.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51And mine was going on the milk round,
0:37:51 > 0:37:56and you'd meet some of the lovely people on the way.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59A lot of evacuated people were there,
0:37:59 > 0:38:05and it was just friendly all the way.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09Dorothy came from a mining community, and Iris was a city girl.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12Neither had farmed before.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14It must've been a very important time for you
0:38:14 > 0:38:15when you look back on it.
0:38:15 > 0:38:20Well, we were girls when we went in, and we were grown-up girls
0:38:20 > 0:38:23- when we came out. - It made me a different person.
0:38:23 > 0:38:28Three and a half years made a difference to you altogether.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31More confident, yes.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34In spite of the long hours and exhausting work,
0:38:34 > 0:38:38the girls still found the energy for a bit of fun.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Tell me, when all the work was done,
0:38:41 > 0:38:46- were you able to go out and play?- Yes, yes.
0:38:46 > 0:38:51If you were near to a town - I was two and a half miles away -
0:38:51 > 0:38:56so you had to walk into town after you'd finished work.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59And if you were going to a dance or the cinema,
0:38:59 > 0:39:01then you had to walk back again.
0:39:01 > 0:39:07Girls, what did it feel like after the war, when the war was over?
0:39:07 > 0:39:12You'd worked hard, you knew that you'd made your contribution
0:39:12 > 0:39:14- to the war effort...- Flat.
0:39:14 > 0:39:19- ..and then you were sent back into the kitchen.- Yes, flat.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23- Very flat.- Yes, it was.
0:39:23 > 0:39:27I went into horticulture, so I could just find my feet,
0:39:27 > 0:39:32and get over the shock of changing again to city life.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36And I went into Marks & Spencer's!
0:39:36 > 0:39:37THEY LAUGH
0:39:39 > 0:39:41What a change that was!
0:39:41 > 0:39:43Whilst these remarkable ladies
0:39:43 > 0:39:45might not have been on the actual front line,
0:39:45 > 0:39:48the jobs they carried out were vital in keeping Britain fed.
0:39:48 > 0:39:52Their ability to take on work originally done by men
0:39:52 > 0:39:54also played an important role
0:39:54 > 0:39:57in developing women's future economic and political rights.
0:40:00 > 0:40:01Now, what's David up to?
0:40:01 > 0:40:04Also in York, he's popping into Red House Antiques,
0:40:04 > 0:40:09where dealer Michael is on hand to help him spend his remaining £96.
0:40:10 > 0:40:11Go, Dave.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19What about that ginger jar there? Can I have a quick look at that?
0:40:19 > 0:40:21Of course you can, yeah.
0:40:21 > 0:40:25It's been adapted to a table lamp,
0:40:25 > 0:40:28and the one downside to it
0:40:28 > 0:40:31is, obviously, that it's been drilled.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33- It's been drilled, has it? - HE WINCES
0:40:33 > 0:40:35Ouch! Ouch!
0:40:36 > 0:40:40- Gosh, it's a nice pot, isn't it? - It's without its lid, obviously.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42Yeah, without its lid.
0:40:42 > 0:40:47Ginger jars were originally used to transport caramelised ginger,
0:40:47 > 0:40:50and for storage, and they became popular ornaments
0:40:50 > 0:40:51when the ginger was eaten up.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53So it's definitely Chinese.
0:40:53 > 0:40:57These symbols here are Buddhist, aren't they?
0:40:57 > 0:41:00But it's very good quality for a ginger jar.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02Michael's ringing the owner to see
0:41:02 > 0:41:05if there's any movement on the ticket price.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08£55 is the very best.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Well, at £55, Michael, I've just got to say yes.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13Thank you very much indeed, That is brilliant.
0:41:13 > 0:41:18That great deal marks David's last purchase of the day.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21Time for a well-earned kip, methinks.
0:41:21 > 0:41:22Night-night!
0:41:25 > 0:41:27Next morning, and they're up and at 'em
0:41:27 > 0:41:31as they for the historic market town of Pickering.
0:41:32 > 0:41:36Anita has £164.14 in her pocket.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39So what treasures await you, Anita?
0:41:39 > 0:41:42Owner Caroline is on hand.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44I notice you had some Mauchline ware there.
0:41:44 > 0:41:48- Could I have a wee look at it?- Yeah.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51- These have just come in, have these ones.- Right, OK.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54I'm very fond of Mauchline ware.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58It was made in a little village in Ayrshire called Mauchline,
0:41:58 > 0:42:01- which was associated with Robert Burns.- Oh, right, yes.
0:42:01 > 0:42:02He lived in that area.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07Anita's spotted a collection of Machline treen,
0:42:07 > 0:42:10comprising a wool winder,
0:42:10 > 0:42:13pocket watch holder, needle box and money box.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16They have a collective ticket price of £62.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Considering the fact that we do have damage,
0:42:21 > 0:42:25I would like to be paying in the region of around about £20 for them.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28I couldn't go that low, no.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30Could you come to 25?
0:42:30 > 0:42:34- Go on, then.- Would you do 25? That's lovely.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Thank you very much, Caroline.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Swift business!
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Oh, there's more!
0:42:42 > 0:42:46This is like Italian glass. It's like Murano glass.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49That's the word. I couldn't remember!
0:42:49 > 0:42:50Yes, it's like Murano glass,
0:42:50 > 0:42:54but there's nothing to indicate on the base.
0:42:54 > 0:42:58Murano glass has been made on the Venetian island of Murano
0:42:58 > 0:43:01for centuries, and is very collectable.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04Whilst this particular vase may not be Murano,
0:43:04 > 0:43:07it is Italian, with a price of £48.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09Would you do 20 on that?
0:43:10 > 0:43:15- Yeah.- Let's go for that one. - That one?- Yeah, £20, that's great.
0:43:15 > 0:43:16That's lovely.
0:43:17 > 0:43:21Anita has now spent a total of £45 in this shop.
0:43:23 > 0:43:24David, meanwhile, has travelled east
0:43:24 > 0:43:28to the picturesque village of Thornton Le Dale.
0:43:29 > 0:43:33He's got one last shop to spend his remaining £41 in,
0:43:33 > 0:43:36and 's meeting manager and dealer Jan.
0:43:36 > 0:43:37Hi, Jan!
0:43:37 > 0:43:39What about...
0:43:39 > 0:43:44- This is a different, quirky item. - Is it a watering can?- No, it's not.
0:43:44 > 0:43:45What is it?
0:43:45 > 0:43:52It's from a railway, and they used it for flares in emergencies.
0:43:52 > 0:43:56These lamps would light the way in heavy fog or signal failure.
0:43:56 > 0:43:58This one has a ticket price of £30.
0:43:58 > 0:44:02And it's not the only piece of railway interest.
0:44:02 > 0:44:09- OK, so this is a gear lever of some description...- Right.
0:44:09 > 0:44:13..which comes from sort of the tender, engine box.
0:44:13 > 0:44:16- Actually, is it very heavy? - It is very heavy, yes.
0:44:16 > 0:44:19- It's made of cast iron.- Let's have a look at it. Oh, gosh, yeah!
0:44:19 > 0:44:24And when you say a tender box, it actually would be on the train?
0:44:24 > 0:44:28- On the train itself. - I love that, absolutely love that.
0:44:28 > 0:44:32Its price is £35, but can Jan do a deal
0:44:32 > 0:44:34on the lever and the flare lamp?
0:44:34 > 0:44:37What's your offer, David?
0:44:37 > 0:44:41- Do you want all my money?- I want all your money.- You've got it, baby.- OK.
0:44:41 > 0:44:43- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:44:43 > 0:44:45Technically, he's still got 46p,
0:44:45 > 0:44:49but that discount means David is now the proud owner
0:44:49 > 0:44:52of two pieces of railway interest.
0:44:53 > 0:44:56Anita is travelling nearly 30 miles to Thirsk.
0:44:57 > 0:45:01She's visiting Three Tuns Antiques and Curios
0:45:01 > 0:45:03with just under £120 left to spend.
0:45:03 > 0:45:07Ah, something shiny has caught her eye.
0:45:07 > 0:45:09Surprise, surprise(!)
0:45:09 > 0:45:13- Could I take this outside to have a wee look at it?- Yes.
0:45:13 > 0:45:15You're not going to do a runner, are you?
0:45:15 > 0:45:17I hope not!
0:45:17 > 0:45:20Judging by the glint in Anita's eye, she's up to something, though.
0:45:20 > 0:45:21Don't go back, Anita.
0:45:21 > 0:45:24I wanted to see this in the light.
0:45:24 > 0:45:26It's a lidded vessel
0:45:26 > 0:45:32which would have been used to hold the host during Mass.
0:45:32 > 0:45:38Now, it has a price of £10 on it,
0:45:38 > 0:45:43but what I thought when I handled it was, "Is this silver?
0:45:43 > 0:45:46Its official name is a ciborium
0:45:46 > 0:45:51and it also has markings, which are Continental and complicated.
0:45:51 > 0:45:53This might be the Holy Grail!
0:45:53 > 0:45:56Now, that really would be something, wouldn't it?
0:45:56 > 0:45:58- So, £10 on that.- Yes.
0:45:58 > 0:46:00OK. That's great.
0:46:01 > 0:46:06With that possibly silver vessel, both our experts are bought up.
0:46:09 > 0:46:13Anita spent just £83 on her five lots,
0:46:13 > 0:46:18purchasing two sets of condiments, a 1950s brooch,
0:46:18 > 0:46:24a collection of Mauchline treen boxes, a 1960s Italian glass vase
0:46:24 > 0:46:28and a white metal cyborium with gilt interior.
0:46:28 > 0:46:32David spent a total of £166 on his five lots
0:46:32 > 0:46:35and picked up a train lever and flare lamp...
0:46:37 > 0:46:40..the police fingerprinting table...
0:46:40 > 0:46:42his 1940s letterbox...
0:46:42 > 0:46:45the Chinese ginger jar...
0:46:45 > 0:46:47and the 1920s drop-end sofa.
0:46:48 > 0:46:51So, what do they think of each other's items?
0:46:51 > 0:46:55I mean, the condiment sets, oh, my gosh,
0:46:55 > 0:46:58they are diabolical beyond belief!
0:46:58 > 0:47:00They have no age whatsoever
0:47:00 > 0:47:04and need to be chucked in the nearest bin possible.
0:47:04 > 0:47:09What he's done with the flare lamp and that other bit of old iron
0:47:09 > 0:47:12is he has bought definitely the weird!
0:47:13 > 0:47:16Anita and David are travelling south again to an auction
0:47:16 > 0:47:19in the historic spa town of Harrogate.
0:47:19 > 0:47:21Wahey! Here we are.
0:47:22 > 0:47:26Second auction, David. Let the battle commence!
0:47:26 > 0:47:28Oh, my kind of woman. Come on!
0:47:30 > 0:47:34Today's auction is being held at Harrogate Auction Centre
0:47:34 > 0:47:36and the auctioneer is George Allen.
0:47:37 > 0:47:40Let's get comfy, David.
0:47:40 > 0:47:43Almost thrones, Anita, thrones.
0:47:43 > 0:47:48And speaking of regal, it's Anita's king and queen condiments
0:47:48 > 0:47:52- and cuddling pigs first. - Well, good luck.- Thank you, darling.
0:47:52 > 0:47:55Can we see five anywhere on that one? £2?
0:47:55 > 0:47:57The flags are up now.
0:47:57 > 0:48:02- They all want them! - Four bid, six bid, eight bid.

0:48:40 > 0:48:43- Are you all done at £22?- Ahhh!
0:48:44 > 0:48:48Not a king's ransom, but still a profit.
0:48:48 > 0:48:52That was pressured, wasn't it?
0:48:52 > 0:48:54From two! I thought they were going to sell for two.
0:48:54 > 0:48:58So did I, my wee heart was beating!
0:49:00 > 0:49:04Next up are David's train lever and flare lamp.

0:49:59 > 0:50:03- Ohhhh!- Brilliant!- Thank you, Anita.
0:50:03 > 0:50:07An incredible result - from such a slow start,
0:50:07 > 0:50:10David's more than doubled his money.
0:50:10 > 0:50:12It's so exciting!
0:50:12 > 0:50:16- I was digging my nails into your hand.- I noticed!
0:50:16 > 0:50:20Now it's Anita's 1950s brooch.

0:50:52 > 0:50:55- Yes!- Well done, well done.
0:50:55 > 0:50:57She's very excited!
0:50:57 > 0:50:58And so she should be!
0:50:58 > 0:51:04She got it at a great price. Still, it's a small profit for Anita.
0:51:04 > 0:51:09Now it's David's most expensive item - his Chinese ginger jar.
0:51:09 > 0:51:15I am 50 bid, straight in at 50. 60 on the telephone. £60 bid.

0:51:39 > 0:51:42Wow! That's another great profit for David.
0:51:42 > 0:51:47He went big with his buys and, so far, it seems to be paying off.
0:51:47 > 0:51:49David's in the lead
0:51:49 > 0:51:52so Anita needs a big profit on her Mauchline treen
0:51:52 > 0:51:54- to stay in the game.- Ten bid.

0:53:55 > 0:53:59That's an incredible profit for Anita.
0:53:59 > 0:54:03She's quadrupled her money, putting her firmly back in the game.
0:54:03 > 0:54:08Now, let's see if David's 1940s letterbox gets the same reception.

0:54:42 > 0:54:45- Yes!- Get in there!
0:54:45 > 0:54:47Well done, George.
0:54:47 > 0:54:53Well done, David! Another massive profit. Quite the auction today!
0:54:54 > 0:55:00David got his 1920s sofa for a steal, but will it fare today?

0:55:31 > 0:55:38Any more? All done at £110?
0:55:38 > 0:55:39David...
0:55:40 > 0:55:44..that's 200% profit.
0:55:44 > 0:55:47200? It's more than that. It's about four million.
0:55:47 > 0:55:50We're both rubbish at maths!
0:55:50 > 0:55:56Apparently so. It's actually just over 2,000% profit.
0:55:56 > 0:55:59Next, It's Anita's incredible find - her cyborium.
0:55:59 > 0:56:02Anita still believes it's silver
0:56:02 > 0:56:05but has been unable to identify its marks
0:56:05 > 0:56:09- so it's being sold as white metal. - £20 bid. 20 bid.
0:56:09 > 0:56:13£20 bid. It's not where we start, it's where we finish. 30 bid.

0:56:27 > 0:56:32- 55, 60 bid. 65 bid.- Come on!
0:56:32 > 0:56:36Any advance on 65? It's worth a lot more.
0:56:36 > 0:56:4165. 70 bid. 75 bid.
0:56:41 > 0:56:47Any more? All done? Finished at £75.
0:56:48 > 0:56:51A stroke of luck or divine intervention?
0:56:51 > 0:56:54Either way, that's a fantastic profit.
0:56:54 > 0:56:57Time for David's final and most unusual item,
0:56:57 > 0:56:59his police fingerprinting table.
0:57:00 > 0:57:03Can we see 20? Ten bid.
0:57:03 > 0:57:07£10 bid, any advance on ten? You'll never get another one.
0:57:07 > 0:57:12- You'd never WANT another one! - £20 the bid. Any advance on 20?
0:57:12 > 0:57:18- Any more? 30. £30.- Come on! Come on!
0:57:18 > 0:57:20The bid is at the back of the room.
0:57:20 > 0:57:24£30, any more? All done?
0:57:24 > 0:57:28Finished at £30, only bid?
0:57:28 > 0:57:30That's all right!
