0:00:03 > 0:00:05It's the nation's favourite antiques experts.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07I don't know what to do!
0:00:07 > 0:00:13HORN BEEPS With ?200 each, a classic car and a goal to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:13 > 0:00:14What a little diamond.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat.
0:00:18 > 0:00:19Back in the game!
0:00:19 > 0:00:21Charlie!
0:00:21 > 0:00:23There'll be worthy winners
0:00:23 > 0:00:24and valiant losers.
0:00:24 > 0:00:25SHE GASPS
0:00:25 > 0:00:27So, will it be the high road to glory
0:00:27 > 0:00:30or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:30 > 0:00:31Oh!
0:00:31 > 0:00:32This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Yeah.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40It's leg two of this week's epic road trip
0:00:40 > 0:00:43with dynamic duo Natasha Raskin and Philip Serrell.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46I think we're a good match, do you know that? Yeah.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Do you get tired being happy all the time?
0:00:47 > 0:00:50No, but do you know what I think you're doing?
0:00:50 > 0:00:52You're kind of chilling me out a little bit.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Phil is a Road Trip veteran and an expert auctioneer
0:00:55 > 0:00:58with a reputation for being a bit of an old grump.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Have you got any idea where we are? No, no idea.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Have you got any idea where we're going to? Er...Newport.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Newport, we're in Newport and we're heading for Newport.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10I don't want to be picky but this is not Newport.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Let's just establish roles here.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Pilot, navigator.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18Novice Road Tripper Natasha is an auctioneer in Glasgow
0:01:18 > 0:01:21who specialises in Scottish contemporary art.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25I cannot think of a better way to spend a day than driving around
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Wales in a gorgeous Porsche with a handsome man like you.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Oh, what a girl, what a girl. SHE LAUGHS
0:01:30 > 0:01:33I'm so glad you've memorised that script I gave you.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37On this journey, our Trippers are cruising
0:01:37 > 0:01:40in a classy 1957 Porsche 356 Coupe.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Natasha made a loss on the last leg.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47After starting with ?200,
0:01:47 > 0:01:51she's ended up with ?161.96 to play with.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55Meanwhile, old hand Phil played a stormer
0:01:55 > 0:02:01and made a great profit, so he has ?275.90 to spend today.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06Our experts' mammoth mission began in Narberth in Pembrokeshire
0:02:06 > 0:02:08and will see them travel several hundred miles,
0:02:08 > 0:02:11covering Wales and southern England
0:02:11 > 0:02:14before finishing up in Salisbury, Wiltshire.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Today's trip kicks off in Newport
0:02:17 > 0:02:22and will meander its way north towards the auction in Newent.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Natasha is up first, so go, girl!
0:02:26 > 0:02:27Hello?
0:02:27 > 0:02:31Hello. Oh, hello. Hi, there. I'm Natasha. Hi, I'm John. Hi, John.
0:02:31 > 0:02:32Lovely to meet you. Nice to meet you.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35This looks like an absolute treasure trove of a shop.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39Good name, too. Strawberry Water Junk Company. HE LAUGHS
0:02:39 > 0:02:41OK, OK.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43I don't really know where to start. There's so much everywhere.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46There are... I can't help but look up, cos there are so many pictures.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50I can't stop looking up, but I don't think we're going to look at pictures today.
0:02:50 > 0:02:51Look at stuff, look at stuff.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Stuff, eh? Plenty of that in here.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56That is the best thing.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57Maybe that's by somebody.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Oh. How excit... Oh, a Beswick.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Oh, that's amazing.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06I do know the name Beswick, of course, because everyone does.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09It's probably 1970s. But it's in the form of a pheasant.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11It's probably for keeping eggs.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14It's hand-painted, which is really nice,
0:03:14 > 0:03:17and he's only 15 quid, and if John would give me something off of him,
0:03:17 > 0:03:19come on, he's got to be a winner.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21There's only one way to find out.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25I wonder what would be your best price on the pheasant terrine.
0:03:25 > 0:03:26Oh, dear.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31I'll be sweet to you, a tenner. A tenner, OK.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Well, I think, for a tenner, it's a pretty good deal,
0:03:34 > 0:03:36but before we shake on it, there's another thing as well
0:03:36 > 0:03:39that I've just clocked as we walked past.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Ah, she's spotted a rather large glass carboy,
0:03:42 > 0:03:44which were primarily used to carry acids.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48It's, I guess, moulded glass. It wouldn't be blown, would it? No, no.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50So, it's a big bit of moulded glass,
0:03:50 > 0:03:53but they're so decorative, aren't they? You can do anything with those.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Well, you put a garden inside, and have it growing... Yeah. They're really awesome.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59I think it's a lovely lot.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01And I'm thinking... I haven't even seen the price.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03OK, so it's got ?28 on it.
0:04:03 > 0:04:04I really like the two.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07I think they're totally bizarre and disparate.
0:04:07 > 0:04:12But at the top end, their combined price was ?43. Mm-hm.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Would you be open to an offer of ?30?
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Yeah, go on. It's near enough. Are you sure? Yes, I'm sure. SHE LAUGHS
0:04:20 > 0:04:22I feel awfully cheeky but, if you're happy with that,
0:04:22 > 0:04:24I'm going to grab your hand and go with it.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27With two lots bought, Natasha's off to a flying start.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Phil, meanwhile, has motored his way south
0:04:31 > 0:04:34to the Welsh capital, Cardiff,
0:04:34 > 0:04:37and his first stop, the Pumping Station.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41It's on an industrial scale,
0:04:41 > 0:04:45with more than 35 different traders all under one roof.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46Lovely.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48How are you, good sir? Are you well? I'm good, young man. Yourself?
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Young man? I'm warming to you already.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Hey, Phil's not been a young man for a long time.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57But, what's this he's spotted?
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Your intaglios, here. Yes.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Can I have a look at the group of them, please? Yes.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06It's a collection of 19th-century
0:05:06 > 0:05:09intaglio metal moulds and glass seals.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Intaglios are designs or images
0:05:11 > 0:05:15that are cut into hard surfaces such as metal or stone.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17And back in the 18th and 19th centuries,
0:05:17 > 0:05:19they were collected by Grand Tourists
0:05:19 > 0:05:23as sophisticated keepsakes of classical antiquity.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25These are Grand Tour bits,
0:05:25 > 0:05:29so when you went on your Grand Tour in 1820 and you wanted a souvenir,
0:05:29 > 0:05:34you didn't bring back a stick of rock or a piece of troika... Yes.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37You brought back books...
0:05:37 > 0:05:40and you opened the books out and the books would be full of intaglios.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Phil's clearly interested, but can he strike a bargain?
0:05:44 > 0:05:47What would you take for those and what would you take for those?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49?150.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52That's for all of it?
0:05:52 > 0:05:54See, I'm miles away from you on price.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56I've really got to try and get these under 30 quid.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57You're going to struggle.
0:05:57 > 0:05:58Could 25 quid buy them?
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Cash. The folding holding.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Mmm...
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Yeah, go on. Oh, you're an absolute gentleman. Thank you ever so much.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16So, a generous discount there from Paul has secured Phil his first purchase.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Anything else float your boat?
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Oh, this is a little watercolour.
0:06:23 > 0:06:28It's of HMS Tidepool, which, one presumes, is that there.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31I just think it's a really interesting little watercolour.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33It's quite finely done.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38The ticket price is ?28, but can Phil convince dealer David to take less?
0:06:38 > 0:06:42I think, at auction, that's going to make between, oh, I don't know...
0:06:42 > 0:06:4420 and 40 quid.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Well, I'm going to shock you. Oh! I'm going to shock you.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Hark at this. I'm going to shock you. Go on, then.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52You can have it for ?14 and that's my final offer.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Thank you very much. You're a gentleman. Thank you very much indeed.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58That purchase puts Phil neck and neck with Natasha on the buying front,
0:06:58 > 0:07:00with both of them bagging two lots each in their first shops.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Natasha's also made her way to Cardiff
0:07:04 > 0:07:08and has come to its indoor flea market for a scratch about.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09OK.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12This is really great.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18There's one thing I really like. It is quite unusual.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21It's this little coral and seed pearl brooch.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24What's going on with that? I don't have a clue what the motif is.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Well, it is a riding crop.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30You can see the whip. You've got your handle up here...
0:07:30 > 0:07:34And the horseshoe is to represent hunting and all that sort of thing.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Good luck. Seed pearls and coral, is that right? Yes.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39I think it is gilded.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43OK. I'm not pricing it as nine carat gold.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45What is your price on that then?
0:07:47 > 0:07:49I'd do it for ?25 for you.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53What if I said ?20? What if I said that, what would you do?
0:07:53 > 0:07:57?20. You're OK with ?20. Can we shake on it? Definitely. Oh!
0:07:57 > 0:08:01That's excellent. Thank you so much. I think that is really cute.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05Nice deal done, knocking ?5 off the asking price,
0:08:05 > 0:08:08and it looks like Natasha's artistic eye has spotted
0:08:08 > 0:08:10another little treasure.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14This lovely little oil on canvas board painting is making me
0:08:14 > 0:08:19pretty misty eyed because it is the most nostalgic, really nicely
0:08:19 > 0:08:23executed painting of what I am guessing would be the artist's father.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Signed Jan Fisher, so I am saying female artist,
0:08:26 > 0:08:28probably around the 1980s.
0:08:28 > 0:08:29It is just a lovely thing.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Can she convince owner Pete to part with
0:08:32 > 0:08:34the painting for under the ?50 ticket price?
0:08:34 > 0:08:38I was hoping that you would offer it to me for ?20.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41That is ludicrous, isn't it? Ludicrous! Oh, come on.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45What can I say? What do you reckon? Am I being too cheeky?
0:08:45 > 0:08:48No, go on, you can have it. Are you sure? Yeah.
0:08:48 > 0:08:53Oh, Pete, you're such a star. Thank you so much. Oh, my goodness.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Come on! He is so cute. He is everyone's best friend.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Yeah, he is. And you are now mine!
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Aw, another great deal done securing the painting for ?20. Yes!
0:09:02 > 0:09:04She is off to a strong start.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06It has been a busy day all round.
0:09:06 > 0:09:11It's time for our weary experts to head off for some well-earned rest.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12Nighty-night!
0:09:18 > 0:09:21It's the start of a brand-new day.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Having crossed the border into England, Natasha has
0:09:24 > 0:09:28dropped Phil off in the popular market town of Evesham.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32His first shop of the day is Twyford Antiques,
0:09:32 > 0:09:36with an eclectic range of collectables set over two floors.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40There's two quite nice wine labels that might be worth a look at.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42In the 17th and 18th century,
0:09:42 > 0:09:47there were wine labels that were put onto whisky, gin,
0:09:47 > 0:09:51brandy, whatever, and it was a little silver tag that went around
0:09:51 > 0:09:55the collar of the decanter or the bottle that told you what it was.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59It's just sherry and champagne that dealer Andy has on the menu today.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01This is a sherry label
0:10:01 > 0:10:04and it's silver. Hallmarked London.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06And it's interesting because this one here
0:10:06 > 0:10:08is twice the price of that one, isn't it?
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Hm. Why is that?
0:10:10 > 0:10:12I suppose champagne will be a little bit...
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Well, I suppose champagne's more expensive,
0:10:14 > 0:10:16so the label's more expensive.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Can't fault his logic, can you? Certainly not.
0:10:20 > 0:10:25The ticket price on the cheaper sherry label is a hefty ?136.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27It's a possibility. Can I leave that one out?
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Yeah, certainly.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31One to think about.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Anything else take your fancy?
0:10:33 > 0:10:35This is just a really cool thing, isn't it?
0:10:35 > 0:10:37This is a stationary engine.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41And you've got the...steam engine here.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44You then boil the furnace and the steam then operates...
0:10:45 > 0:10:47..that punt there, like that.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50I think that's a real good bit of fun.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Andy? Yeah.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Could there be a bit of movement in the price on that one as well?
0:10:56 > 0:11:00With a ticket price of ?99 on the stationary engine
0:11:00 > 0:11:05and ?136 on the sherry label, what kind of deal can Phil work, eh?
0:11:05 > 0:11:07What would be the best you could do on each of those?
0:11:07 > 0:11:12Realistically, we'll probably be looking about sort of ?60 on him,
0:11:12 > 0:11:13?80 on him.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16If I could have the two...
0:11:16 > 0:11:18for ?90, I'd have them both off you.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21?95? Do it for ?90 and I'll have a deal with you.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Go on, then. Thank you.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28That very generous deal bags Phil another two lots.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Natasha has taken a cruise south to one of the most unspoilt villages
0:11:32 > 0:11:35in the Cotswolds - Snowshill.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38She's come to visit Snowshill Manor.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41This 16th-century house holds a unique collection
0:11:41 > 0:11:45of extraordinary treasures that, back in the 1920s and '30s,
0:11:45 > 0:11:48attracted both the famous and royalty.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Hello. Hi, there. You must be Sue. I am. Hello. I'm Tasha.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Hi, Tasha. Lovely to meet you.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Thank you very much for having me along.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58This is the collection of Charles Wade, is that right? It is.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01This is Snowshill Manor and this is place that Charles Wade
0:12:01 > 0:12:04chose to house his collection of around 22,000 objects.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Charles Wade was an architect, artist,
0:12:07 > 0:12:10craftsman and most famously a collector.
0:12:10 > 0:12:15Inspired by his grandma's special cupboard of curios as a child,
0:12:15 > 0:12:19at the age of seven, Charles starting building his incredible collection
0:12:19 > 0:12:21of children's toys, clocks,
0:12:21 > 0:12:24mechanical oddities another bizarre items.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28In 1919, after stumbling across an advert for the sale
0:12:28 > 0:12:32of Snowshill Manor, Charles knew he'd found the perfect place
0:12:32 > 0:12:34to house his collection.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36So this is our first port of call.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38This room is called Zenith.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Charles Wade named all his rooms... OK.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44..depending on where they were in the house or maybe what was in them,
0:12:44 > 0:12:47but the important thing about this room is that it contains
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Granny's cabinet. I was just about to say.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51This is a stunning lacquered cabinet.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53So from when does this date, do you think?
0:12:53 > 0:12:56It dates from mid-19th century.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59And my eyes are darting around because it's quite a collection.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Are these things that Charles collected,
0:13:01 > 0:13:03or are these Grandma's curios?
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Well, these ones here are things that were in the cabinet
0:13:06 > 0:13:09when Charles was a child, so these were Granny's curios. Amazing.
0:13:09 > 0:13:14And she only opened this cabinet on Sundays, so it was quite a ritual.
0:13:14 > 0:13:19Looking at Granny's collection on a Sunday, that special day
0:13:19 > 0:13:21that made Charles want to be a collector.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Bitten by the collecting bug and his love of hand-crafted objects,
0:13:24 > 0:13:28Charles spent his life building an impressive catalogue of weird
0:13:28 > 0:13:33and wonderful items, most of which he surprisingly uncovered in the UK.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35What I'd love to see is something so exotic
0:13:35 > 0:13:38that I just would never believe you that he purchased it here in the UK.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Is there anything of that ilk?
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Well, I think, if you come and look at Charles Wade's collection
0:13:42 > 0:13:45of samurai armour, you'll find that pretty amazing.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50Housed in the Green room is one of Europe's largest collections
0:13:50 > 0:13:51of samurai armour.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55The 26 suits date from the 17th to the 19th centuries.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57This is mad.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00I'm speechless and a little bit terrified.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Where on earth did he find this collection
0:14:03 > 0:14:05of samurai suits in the UK?!
0:14:05 > 0:14:08There's actually quite an amusing story
0:14:08 > 0:14:10about where he found some of the suits.
0:14:10 > 0:14:15He needed a washer for a tap, so he took himself to the plumber's
0:14:15 > 0:14:17and it was a tiny plumber shop apparently -
0:14:17 > 0:14:20barely room for a sink in the window and a few washers -
0:14:20 > 0:14:24and he went in and there was a suit of samurai armour.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26And the man said, "If you want some more,
0:14:26 > 0:14:28"there's a whole load underneath the tarpaulin in the yard."
0:14:28 > 0:14:33And there were...I think six sets of samurai armour in total,
0:14:33 > 0:14:35really laid out almost as scrap.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37That's just bizarre.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39And he was able to buy them for quite a small sum of money.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43It's really fitting actually because didn't he have a saying
0:14:43 > 0:14:48that he had a set motto, as it were, three words, "let nothing perish"?
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Yes, indeed. That was what he said. His own motto.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55It must have absolutely disgusted him when this tarpaulin
0:14:55 > 0:14:58was thrown off and to see these things lying on the floor.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01He must have thought, "They're perishing! I can save these!"
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Absolutely. And that's what he loved to do.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07He would have took them to his workshop at the back of his cottage
0:15:07 > 0:15:10and spent many hours working on them.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Charles' motto also applied to the manor itself.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Completely run down when he bought it,
0:15:15 > 0:15:18he spent three years restoring it to its former glory.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21So impressive was the end result that both royalty
0:15:21 > 0:15:25and celebrities came to visit, including writer Virginia Woolf,
0:15:25 > 0:15:28who turned out to be one of Charles' few unhappy house guests.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Well, I think you either got Charles Wade or you didn't
0:15:31 > 0:15:33and Virginia certainly didn't.
0:15:33 > 0:15:38He loved his clocks... Many clocks throughout the house
0:15:38 > 0:15:40and they were all set to different times,
0:15:40 > 0:15:42and they'd all chime at different times.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Oh, not Virginia's cup of tea?
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Not her cup of tea because she made the mistake of relying on
0:15:46 > 0:15:50these clocks and missed her train back to London,
0:15:50 > 0:15:53so she thought he was a bit of fraud and didn't get him at all,
0:15:53 > 0:15:56so not a happy weekend.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59After marrying late in life, Charles retired to St Kitts
0:15:59 > 0:16:03and, in 1951, the estate was passed to the National Trust.
0:16:03 > 0:16:08He regularly returned to his beloved manor, but on one such visit in 1956,
0:16:08 > 0:16:12Charles sadly took ill and passed away in a nearby hospital.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15So his life came full circle.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18He was back in the manor that he loved and had created.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22Yeah, well, he had a very busy life and a seriously interesting one.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26Yes. It has been a real thrill, a real dramatic thrill
0:16:26 > 0:16:29to learn about Charles Wade and his fabulous legacy.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Thank you so much for showing me around.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33I'll never forget it. Oh, that's brilliant.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35That's what Charles Wade would have wanted.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39And so, the fascinating collection of a wonderfully eccentric man
0:16:39 > 0:16:42will continue to live on at Snowshill Manor.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Phil, meanwhile, has made his way to the birthplace
0:16:48 > 0:16:51of William Shakespeare - Stratford-upon-Avon.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55He's heading to the very street Shakespeare was born in
0:16:55 > 0:16:58and into Henley Street Antiques to meet owner Steve.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05That's looking like it's tried to be Mr Chippendale?
0:17:05 > 0:17:06Yeah.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10And how much could that come for? That could be 150.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12OK. Anything else? Yep.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15There's a bit more brown at the back in the form of a settle.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Now this is made out of oak, isn't it?
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Top marks. Interested, Phil?
0:17:20 > 0:17:24I have made a certain speciality...out of buying
0:17:24 > 0:17:27things that have been nibbled by a bit of worm.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30So, is it worth the ?175 ticket price?
0:17:30 > 0:17:34If you can shove your little pinkie in places that you shouldn't
0:17:34 > 0:17:37shove your little pinkie, that is a problem.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Your little pinkie shouldn't go there.
0:17:42 > 0:17:47Perhaps one last look at the chest of drawers will help decide.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50So the death on this is 150. Yes.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53And on the settle? 140.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Can we split it and do 130? 130, yep, let's do it.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57You're a gentleman, thank you.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Deal done on the damaged oak settle,
0:18:00 > 0:18:03for a pricy ?130.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09Natasha has now made her way to Deddington Antique Centre,
0:18:09 > 0:18:13with ?91.96 in her pocket.
0:18:13 > 0:18:18Hopefully, owner Brenda has something up her sleeve.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21OK. Now, you say you've got a piece of Beswick.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23I do already, yes. And it's a tureen.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26It's in the form of a pheasant. It's for eggs.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30Would you like a penguin? Sort of because they're very saleable, aren't they?
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Yeah. This little feathered friend is priced at ?33.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36OK, so it's got the exact same stamp as my pheasant,
0:18:36 > 0:18:38so we're talking about 1970s. That's right.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41What else were you thinking? Cos I do love pottery.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44It all depends on how much money you've got.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47They are fabulous. They are pretty cool, aren't they?
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Ah, but with a ?58 price tag, are the piggies worth a punt?
0:18:51 > 0:18:53I love penguins. You prefer the pigs.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55But I think I prefer the pigs.
0:18:55 > 0:19:00And I think Philip will be devastated you've got the piggies.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Do you reckon? Yes. I think he'll be so jealous.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05What if I offered you ?25?
0:19:05 > 0:19:07What if you offered me ?35?
0:19:07 > 0:19:0935. Hm.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11What if I offered you 30?
0:19:11 > 0:19:14What if you offer me...
0:19:14 > 0:19:1732? This is fun, isn't it? Come on. 32.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Are you forcing it? 32. Oh, go on, then, Brenda.
0:19:20 > 0:19:21Well done.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24And, with that, they're all bought up.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29So Natasha bought the Beswick pheasant tureen,
0:19:29 > 0:19:34the piggyback, also stamped Beswick, the decorative carboy,
0:19:34 > 0:19:39the oil painting and the coral and seed pearl brooch.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42That little lot cost her ?102.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46Meanwhile, Philip bought the stationary model,
0:19:46 > 0:19:50the collection of intaglios, the silver sherry label,
0:19:50 > 0:19:54the watercolour and the costly oak settle.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57He spent a mighty ?259 in total.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00So, what do they think of each other's lots?
0:20:00 > 0:20:04This is going to be the battle of the late 20th-century paintings.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06I've gone oil, Phil's gone watercolour.
0:20:06 > 0:20:11They couldn't be more different, but I think that Phil has won a watch.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13At ?14, that watercolour is stunning.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17What I absolutely love is that portrait.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20That's very her, that's a really cool thing,
0:20:20 > 0:20:22and I think that's absolutely lovely.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25With a woodworm-infested antique oak settle,
0:20:25 > 0:20:29he's determined to shoot himself in the foot, but guess what?
0:20:29 > 0:20:32I'm going to predict it's going to be his star lot.
0:20:32 > 0:20:37So, from starting this leg in Newport in Wales, our experts are now
0:20:37 > 0:20:41hurtling towards the auction in Newent in Gloucestershire.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43I'm sort of OK with most of my lots,
0:20:43 > 0:20:47but I threw 130 quid into a settle.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50All in. And that thing's got more worm...
0:20:50 > 0:20:52than Ilkley Moor Bar T'at.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54I'm a big fan of statement pieces of furniture.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Yeah. You've got to make one. This statement is, "Help!"
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Too late for that, Philip,
0:20:59 > 0:21:02as you've now arrived at today's saleroom -
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Smiths of Newent Auctions.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07There are two auctioneers wielding the gavel today -
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Barry Meade and Rita Kearsey.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13The auction's about to begin...
0:21:15 > 0:21:19First up is Natasha's 1960s Beswick animal group piggyback.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22I'm looking for 20 for that one.
0:21:22 > 0:21:2420. Oh, no.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Can I have at ten? 12.
0:21:26 > 0:21:2712. Make it 14.
0:21:27 > 0:21:2914 bid. 16. Make it 18.
0:21:29 > 0:21:3118. Make it 20.
0:21:31 > 0:21:3218, sitting down.
0:21:32 > 0:21:3420 anywhere else?
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Selling at 18.
0:21:36 > 0:21:37297.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43Unlucky, Natasha, but plenty still to come in this auction.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Shall we walk in again and just pretend that didn't happen?
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Yeah, that'd be nice. Yeah.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52No time for that, though, as Phil's silver sherry label's up next.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53?40 for the sherry label.
0:21:53 > 0:21:5540 I'm bid. Looking for 42.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57I've got 40 now.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Looking for 42 on the net. Come on, creep up.
0:21:59 > 0:22:0344. At 42 on the internet. Cheeky fox. You've got a net bidder.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06At 42. At 42. Looking for 44.
0:22:06 > 0:22:0944 in the room. 46. 48.
0:22:09 > 0:22:1146 on the net. Looking for 48.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13At ?46.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15You all done? You all finished?
0:22:15 > 0:22:16I'm selling at 46.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19That really isn't very expensive, that.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Ouch.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23A shock loss there for Phil.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Not ouch. That's not an ouch situation.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28That's a gentle bump.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33It's a gentle knee in the nether regions, isn't it?
0:22:33 > 0:22:37Can Natasha fare any better with her second bit of Beswick?
0:22:37 > 0:22:39This time it's a 1970s pheasant.
0:22:39 > 0:22:4220. Yes. 20 for that one.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45We're off. 22. At 20.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Any advance on 20? I'll take 22.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49At 20 in the middle there.
0:22:49 > 0:22:5022 anywhere else?
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Selling at 20 in the middle.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56That's all right, but it could have done better.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59A profit's a profit and that's the first of the day.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03Can Phil score a profit with his Wilesco
0:23:03 > 0:23:05working model of a stationary engine?
0:23:05 > 0:23:07I've got interest on commission. Starts me at ?24.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10I'm looking for ?26.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12At 26 now. Looking for 28.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15?28 now. Looking for 30.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16At 28.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18At ?28. Looking for 30.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22You all done? At ?28, you all finished?
0:23:22 > 0:23:23Selling at ?28.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29Clearly there are no engine enthusiasts in the saleroom today.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Will a spot of jewellery be more to their taste?
0:23:33 > 0:23:37It's Natasha's unmarked yellow metal seed pearl and coral brooch next.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40I think this will do well. This will do well.
0:23:40 > 0:23:41?20 for this one.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Can I see 20 for it?
0:23:43 > 0:23:4520 I'm bid. On the net at 20.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Thank you. At 22. At 20 now.
0:23:47 > 0:23:48Come on.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50At ?20. 22 online.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Two online bidders. Looking for 24.
0:23:53 > 0:23:54Looking for 26.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Come on. The battle of the bidders.
0:23:57 > 0:23:58At 26 now.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01?28 now. Looking for 30.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03At 30 now. Looking for 32.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07Come on. At 32. Make it 34 online. At 32.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10At 32. 34 now. Looking for 36.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12At ?36. You all done?
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Selling at ?36.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Oh. That's a tiny little profit.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19That's OK. It deserved a bit more than that.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21It did deserve a bit more.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24A good profit nevertheless.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30Phil's turn again. Can his watercolour secure his first profit?
0:24:30 > 0:24:31?20.
0:24:31 > 0:24:3520 for it. 20, anyone?
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Someone start me at ?10 for it.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41?10 for the watercolour. Phil.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Must be worth ?10.
0:24:43 > 0:24:4510 I'm bid. Looking for 12.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47At ?10. That's a bit of a relief, really.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Looking for 12. At 10.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52At ?10. Are you all done?
0:24:52 > 0:24:55I'm selling at ?10.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59Talk about an unlucky streak, but at least it wasn't a big loss.
0:24:59 > 0:25:04I just want you to know that I'm not warped or bitter in any way at all.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Next up, Natasha's oversized carboy.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08?20 for it.
0:25:08 > 0:25:09Oh, gosh. ?20, anyone?
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Not a hand in sight.
0:25:11 > 0:25:1320 I'm bid. on the net at ?20.
0:25:13 > 0:25:14Looking for 22.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16At ?20 on the net.
0:25:16 > 0:25:17Go on.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19That's plus two quid.
0:25:20 > 0:25:21At ?20.
0:25:21 > 0:25:27Are you all done? Selling at ?20.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30I reckon you're about minus oomph pence for that.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31Phil's right.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33The ?2 profit will result in a small loss
0:25:33 > 0:25:36after auction costs are deducted.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37Right. Come on, Phil.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Let's get you that first profit with your 19th-century intaglio
0:25:40 > 0:25:42moulds and seals.
0:25:42 > 0:25:43Interest in this
0:25:43 > 0:25:46starts me on the internet at ?32.
0:25:46 > 0:25:47Yes, profit!
0:25:47 > 0:25:48I'm looking for 34.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51At 34 now. Looking for 36.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53At ?34.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Are you all finished? Oh, come on.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Selling on the net at ?34.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01You'll take a profit. You're absolutely right I will.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03By Jove, he's done it.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04Great little profit there for Phil.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08Wish I hadn't spent all that money on that settle.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Settle down, Phil.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Next up, it's art expert Natasha's final buy,
0:26:13 > 0:26:16the modern British original oil painting.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Telephone bid on this item. Stop it!
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Can I see 20 for it? Yes, you can. Go on.
0:26:21 > 0:26:2320 I'm bid.
0:26:23 > 0:26:2420 on the telephone.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Well done, you. Come on, online. At 20 on the phone.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28Looking for 22.
0:26:28 > 0:26:33At 22. 24. Looking for 26.
0:26:33 > 0:26:3528. Looking for 30.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Yes. 30. Looking for 32.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39It's worth it.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Looking for 34.
0:26:41 > 0:26:4236.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46Yes. Well done, you. Looking for 38. 40.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Looking for 42. 44.
0:26:49 > 0:26:50Looking for 46.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52At ?44 on the telephone.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Are you all done at 44?
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Selling then at ?44.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Great profit there for Natasha,
0:26:59 > 0:27:03but she hasn't won yet as there's still one lot to go -
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Phil's big risk, the antique oak settle.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Would someone like to start me at ?100 for this?
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Looking for ?100.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Looking for 100.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Looking for ?100.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Start me at ?60.
0:27:17 > 0:27:1960 for the settle.
0:27:19 > 0:27:2460 I have. ?60 online. Looking for 65 now. At 65.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26You coming back in, online?
0:27:26 > 0:27:29I'm going to sell then at ?65.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31You all done?
0:27:31 > 0:27:33You've got to laugh, haven't you? At ?65.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35You've got to laugh cos, if you didn't, you'd cry.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Oh, Phil. That's 991.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Bloomin' 999, not 991.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45Someone's got a nice settle there for a great price - lucky devil.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48I need nurturing and looking after gently here.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50I might even need a darkened room.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Come on, let me drive you home.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Well done.
0:27:54 > 0:28:00Phil was down on his luck today, resulting in a loss of ?108.94.
0:28:03 > 0:28:08But he's still got a healthy ?166.96 to spend on the next leg.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Natasha fared better,
0:28:12 > 0:28:16giving her an overall profit of ?11.16 after auction costs,
0:28:16 > 0:28:19which means she takes the lead going into the third leg
0:28:19 > 0:28:23with ?173.12 to play with.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26You're in a state of shock. I'm in a state of shock, but in a good way.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28But I feel sorry for you.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30Really? Yeah. You look it.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34Right, here we go. Now, now, Philip, nobody likes a sore loser.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38Go, go, go. And they're off. Toodle-pip, Road Trippers.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43With two auctions behind them, it's still all to play for.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46So time for the next leg in their glorious Road Trip.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48I'm in good spirits, Phil.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52Why's that? Not because I'm in the company of someone so wonderful.
0:28:52 > 0:28:53Not ONLY that. Yeah, yeah.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55But because I've edged in front.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58I don't know if you've done the maths but...
0:28:58 > 0:29:02My goal now is to try and get to Friday solvent!
0:29:02 > 0:29:06This morning, they've started off in St Albans, before winding
0:29:06 > 0:29:09their way down to an auction in Chiswick, west London.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15First shop of the day for Natasha is the Hertfordshire town of St Albans.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18I will see you soon. Have a good day, lovely. Thank you so much.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21See you later! Right.
0:29:21 > 0:29:22Bye!
0:29:22 > 0:29:25A keen Natasha gets straight to it.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29OK, there is quite a lot of stuff here that is very modern,
0:29:29 > 0:29:31I think I'm going to look for something a bit more...
0:29:31 > 0:29:32a bit more age to it.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35I don't know. Maybe a bit more interest, a bit more quirk.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45I spy some Scottish-looking jewellery, Natasha.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Time to call on dealer Dee.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50The best thing for me has got to be that citrine. Yeah.
0:29:50 > 0:29:51That is just a beauty, isn't it?
0:29:51 > 0:29:54Would you mind terribly if we take a closer look? No, not at all.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56Purely because... It's a bit of a whopper!
0:29:56 > 0:29:59It is obviously not in gold. Right, OK, so we can see that now.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02So it is just a metal that has been gilded, right?
0:30:02 > 0:30:05I mean, I like the fact that it is exactly what you would wear for
0:30:05 > 0:30:09sort of Highland dress, but maybe you could wear that in a more modern way?
0:30:09 > 0:30:12Oh, absolutely. Do you reckon? Yes, yes. Would you wear that?
0:30:12 > 0:30:15Maybe pair it with these here?
0:30:15 > 0:30:18Oh. I was thinking that together that might be quite a nice look.
0:30:18 > 0:30:19THEY LAUGH A good night out.
0:30:19 > 0:30:20Right, stick that back.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23What do you think? I am going to make an offer for it. OK.
0:30:23 > 0:30:24If that is OK with you. Yes.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27It is ?12 ticket, what if I say eight?
0:30:27 > 0:30:28Ten?
0:30:28 > 0:30:32Could we make it single figures and go nine? Do you reckon? Yes.
0:30:32 > 0:30:33Quite happy with that? Yes.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Dee, I'd like to shake on that.
0:30:35 > 0:30:36Deal done, Dee.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39But Natasha has spied another potential purchase
0:30:39 > 0:30:40when she first arrived.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43So we drove in here, and the first thing
0:30:43 > 0:30:46I saw was this lovely Belfast sink, but it is really big.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48Looks really heavy, too.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50I'm going to try... I don't think I can shift it.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Arrrgh!
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Between us, Dee. Girl power.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Right. So if we have a little look in the basin,
0:30:57 > 0:31:00it looks to be in pretty...pretty good order, actually.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03I don't see any...any scary bits. No, there is no cracks.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Dee is asking ?40 for the old sink. But think carefully,
0:31:06 > 0:31:09Natasha, you don't want your profits going down the old plughole.
0:31:09 > 0:31:14What if I said to you I would like to buy it from you at ?20?
0:31:14 > 0:31:17I don't know. 30? What if I said you 28?
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Deal. But do you still get something out of that? Yes.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24She is managing very well so far on limited means.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27I think that is it. I think two items at Alley Cats and I'm done.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30Phil has travelled on to Hertford.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33With just under ?167 left, he's meeting Bonnie
0:31:33 > 0:31:37at his first shop of the day.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Now...
0:31:39 > 0:31:41Gah, you've got some things in here, haven't you?
0:31:46 > 0:31:47These are cool things, aren't they?
0:31:47 > 0:31:52These sort of stork thread pullers or whatever they are.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55They are ribbon pullers. How does that work, then?
0:31:55 > 0:31:56Well, in the old days...
0:31:56 > 0:31:59"In the old days..." I was there. I was there!
0:31:59 > 0:32:00Yeah, go on.
0:32:00 > 0:32:05They knitted babies' garments rather than mass produced them.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08And they were always adorned with ribbons and things.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10And to try and get the ribbons through the holes of booties
0:32:10 > 0:32:12or bonnets... They pulled that. ..it was difficult.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14You've got another one here. I do.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20So that is silver. It is. And what is this made from? Silver-plate.
0:32:20 > 0:32:24That is ?95. And how much is the other one? ?250. OK, fine.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27You haven't got any chairs in here, have you? I mean, I just...
0:32:27 > 0:32:30No, just feeling... I'm become a bit faint.
0:32:32 > 0:32:33Right.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Is he really?
0:32:35 > 0:32:36He's fine.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38You don't know how low he'll stoop.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40Steady, Bonnie. Steady. You're winding me up.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43You nearly knocked me over there, Bonnie.
0:32:43 > 0:32:47Philip puts the expensive ribbon puller back in the cabinet
0:32:47 > 0:32:50and the cheaper pair to one side to think about.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55I love that. This is...
0:32:55 > 0:33:00This is a desk seal that would have sat on a gentleman's desk.
0:33:00 > 0:33:05And you have got an agate ball that is held by this claw, bird's claw.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07And then you have got this seal here.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09This would have sat on the desk.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12And when he wrote to someone, he would have got his sealing wax
0:33:12 > 0:33:16out, sealed the letter or the envelope with his seal.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19And then to give it his own personal seal, as the wax was hot,
0:33:19 > 0:33:22he just dunk that in there. And off it came.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24These are quite collectable. That is quite fun.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26The ticket price is ?65.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30Phil wants to strike a deal along with the ribbon puller,
0:33:30 > 0:33:35but Bonnie is suggesting a second seal as part of a job lot.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38Can I give you ?80 for that lot? And I can't go any more,
0:33:38 > 0:33:39honestly. Yes, go on, then.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Are you sure? Yeah, that's fine.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44Are you happy with that, honestly? I'm not really happy,
0:33:44 > 0:33:45but I will accept that.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47You are an angel, thank you very much. Thank you.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49You're welcome. Thank you very much indeed.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52Very generous, Bonnie.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56?35 for the two seals, and the ribbon puller for ?45.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58Cheers now! Bye!
0:33:58 > 0:34:02It's a great start but he's not done for the day yet.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04He heads west to Hemel Hempstead.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09Cherry Antiques is run by dealer Scott. Where's Cherry, then?
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Those are quite cool. How much are those?
0:34:12 > 0:34:15I'll do you a good price on those. Can you? Yeah.
0:34:15 > 0:34:19Philip has found some 1920s Art Deco burr walnut chairs.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23They are priced at ?90 for the four. Wow.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25And what could you do those for, then?
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Very, very, very best would be 60.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32One to think about. While he is thinking...
0:34:32 > 0:34:34What I'm going to try and do is to see if I can
0:34:34 > 0:34:38make up a job lot of prints.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40How much is that print?
0:34:43 > 0:34:44A couple of pounds. OK.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49I think that is quite nice, you know. So, how much is that?
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Is that another pound or two? Yes.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59Philip has picked out a selection of five prints. Could I bid you...?
0:35:00 > 0:35:03Yep. Could I bid you five pounds and ?45?
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Yeah, happy with that. You are a gentleman, sir.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Thank you very much indeed. Thank you.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10That is a cracking deal on the four chairs.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Philip's got them for half their ticket price.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15Scott, you've been very kind to me, I better pay you.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18And he has paid a pound apiece for the five prints.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21Let's hope there's a dog lover at the auction. Ha!
0:35:22 > 0:35:26One day down, one to go for our duelling duo.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29Time for a well-earned rest all round.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31OK, night-night, you two.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39With another day of shopping ahead of them,
0:35:39 > 0:35:42our pair are back behind the wheel and first shop is just
0:35:42 > 0:35:43a few miles from Aylesbury.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49Philip's come to Stoke Mandeville sports stadium to find out
0:35:49 > 0:35:53how a small patch of land behind a hospital became the birthplace
0:35:53 > 0:35:56of the world's second biggest sporting event.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58I am so looking forward to this. I think...
0:35:58 > 0:36:00Really looking forward to it. ..you're going to be very inspired.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03Very humbled. Humbled and inspired.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05Very, very humbled.
0:36:05 > 0:36:06You take care. You too.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Have a really lousy day!
0:36:08 > 0:36:10Thanks, Phil!
0:36:10 > 0:36:12Bye. Bye.
0:36:13 > 0:36:17Stoke Mandeville Hospital is home to one of the largest
0:36:17 > 0:36:20and the oldest spinal injuries centres in the world.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24It was founded by a neurologist in 1944 who had a radical
0:36:24 > 0:36:26approach to rehabilitation.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30And Philip is meeting former hospital patient Martin McElhatton
0:36:30 > 0:36:35to find out how Dr Ludwig Guttmann's ground-breaking treatment worked.
0:36:35 > 0:36:40He introduced a comprehensive medical model of treatment
0:36:40 > 0:36:43for people coming back from the war with spinal injuries.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46In what way exactly was he different to the way everybody else
0:36:46 > 0:36:47treated spinal injuries?
0:36:47 > 0:36:51Well, he brought all the knowledge from around the world together
0:36:51 > 0:36:53into, you know, his treatment.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57And he treated the patients really in a fantastic way.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59And they even called him Poppa.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02You know, a very affectionate name of how much they felt about him.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06Before Dr Guttmann, unthinkable though it is now,
0:37:06 > 0:37:09the paralysed were considered untreatable.
0:37:09 > 0:37:14Up until the mid-1940s, eight out of ten spinal injury patients
0:37:14 > 0:37:17died within three years of paralysis.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20However, Dr Guttmann's visionary approach changed
0:37:20 > 0:37:23the course of thousands of lives.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25He made sure they had the right medical care.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28You know, the right physiotherapy.
0:37:28 > 0:37:32But he also felt that there was something missing in the treatment.
0:37:32 > 0:37:33And he loved sports.
0:37:33 > 0:37:37He felt that sport would add that dimension of comradery
0:37:37 > 0:37:41and psychological wellbeing for the injured servicemen and women.
0:37:41 > 0:37:45This pioneering notion led to the world's first sporting
0:37:45 > 0:37:49competition for disabled people - the Stoke Mandeville Games.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51The brainchild of Dr Guttmann,
0:37:51 > 0:37:55it took place on the hospital lawns on the very same day
0:37:55 > 0:37:59as the Opening Ceremony of the 1948 London Olympics.
0:37:59 > 0:38:00How wonderful.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03Presumably, I mean, this wasn't here then.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07No, there was nothing here, just green fields and a car park
0:38:07 > 0:38:10and the old huts that are behind us.
0:38:10 > 0:38:1514 men and two women, all injured military personnel, competed.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17Well, initially, they did things
0:38:17 > 0:38:22like archery, because the chairs were very big and cumbersome.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25So, you know, doing other sports that involve propelling
0:38:25 > 0:38:28the wheelchair was probably more difficult.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31But athletics was done. And they did javelin.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35The referees were made up of doctors and nurses.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39It was nothing more than a glorified sports day.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41But Dr Guttmann had started something remarkable.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46We had 16 in the first Games in 1948.
0:38:46 > 0:38:51And by 1956, that had grown to 130 competitors.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53And in London 2012,
0:38:53 > 0:38:57around 5,000 athletes from all over the world.
0:38:57 > 0:39:02The Stoke Mandeville Games were the forerunner to the Paralympic Games.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06Today, a modern stadium sits alongside the hospital.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08And what would Guttmann have thought of all of this?
0:39:08 > 0:39:11I think he would have been amazed. I think he would be really proud.
0:39:11 > 0:39:15And I think, you know, he would have wanted more.
0:39:15 > 0:39:20Because he was a guy who, I think, always wanted to push
0:39:20 > 0:39:21the boundaries.
0:39:21 > 0:39:25And by pushing those boundaries, he enabled so many men
0:39:25 > 0:39:28and women around the world to achieve their sporting dreams.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31He always had the vision there would be
0:39:31 > 0:39:35an Olympics for the paralysed or a parallel Olympics,
0:39:35 > 0:39:38and that is where the term Paralympics comes from.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40Dr Guttmann's legacy has helped
0:39:40 > 0:39:43Martin achieve his sporting dreams too.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46Aged 18, he was hit by a lorry and left paralysed.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48He was treated at Stoke Mandeville Hospital
0:39:48 > 0:39:52and had to learn how to adjust to life in a wheelchair.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54What was your sport, Martin?
0:39:54 > 0:39:57Well, I played wheelchair basketball in the 1984 Paralympic Games,
0:39:57 > 0:39:59which happened to be here, in Stoke Mandeville.
0:39:59 > 0:40:03So you have pulled your Olympic vest on? Yes! What did that feel like?
0:40:03 > 0:40:07Well, it was an inspirational moment and something you feel hugely
0:40:07 > 0:40:10honoured and proud to represent your country.
0:40:10 > 0:40:16When Dr Guttmann died in 1980, his dream of a Paralympic Games being
0:40:16 > 0:40:18held in parallel with the Olympic Games
0:40:18 > 0:40:20was still yet to happen.
0:40:20 > 0:40:24It wasn't until Seoul in 1988 that both games happened together.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27So, Martin, you've got some ephemera here.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29Is this all one person's?
0:40:29 > 0:40:34No, it is a selection from our archive here, at Stoke Mandeville,
0:40:34 > 0:40:38which tells the story of Dr Guttmann
0:40:38 > 0:40:40and the Paralympic movement
0:40:40 > 0:40:44and, you know, really about some of the individual athletes who
0:40:44 > 0:40:48have been inspirational as part of that story.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51I bet he didn't realise what he was creating, did he?
0:40:51 > 0:40:54For me, personally, if he hadn't done what he did,
0:40:54 > 0:40:59I wouldn't have had the opportunity to take part in Paralympic sport.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02I don't think Dr Guttmann is on his own in being an inspiration,
0:41:02 > 0:41:04really, you know. Thank you.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16Natasha's motored the Porsche to Tetsworth, in Oxfordshire.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20She is heading for The Swan Antiques Centre
0:41:20 > 0:41:24with her remaining ?136.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26I think I am going to
0:41:26 > 0:41:28work my way to the top
0:41:28 > 0:41:31and then work my way back down again.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37This is a nice wee room, this.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40I'm going to have more of a look cos there are trinkety things.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42Trinkety things is what I am after.
0:41:42 > 0:41:46She is drawn to a French hand-painted pin dish.
0:41:46 > 0:41:51And it is porcelain. It is actually on a little porcelain dish.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53And you can see it has got a little bit of crazing on it. Not really.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55It is in nice condition overall.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59I think that is a really sweet little stand.
0:41:59 > 0:42:03This pretty little dish dates from the late 19th century.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05It sports a ticket price of ?80.
0:42:05 > 0:42:09It is just a decorative thing, but it is absolutely beautiful.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12There certainly won't be two of these at the auction.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14But this would be a gamble piece.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17Lovely though it is, it is not going to have wide appeal.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Time to have a word with the man in charge.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Stand by, Paul.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24If I knocked you a tenner off... So what has it got on it? 80.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27If I said 70? We could round it down to 70. Do you know what?
0:42:27 > 0:42:29I love the little papillon.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31For 70 quid, shall we shake on it?
0:42:31 > 0:42:35Let's shake on it. Yay! Merci, madame. Merci and thank you.
0:42:35 > 0:42:39Tres bon! A deal done for the French hand-painted dish.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42The next shop for both our Road Trippers is the picturesque
0:42:42 > 0:42:44town of Wendover.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Phil has stolen a lead on Natasha,
0:42:46 > 0:42:50so he is getting first pick at the local antiques centre.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53Hopefully, dealer Mike knows where the bargains can be found.
0:42:53 > 0:42:57Have a look in this room. There is a cabinet full of curiosities.
0:42:57 > 0:42:58And lots of bits and bobs.
0:42:58 > 0:43:03EARLY 1900S PIANO MUSIC
0:43:03 > 0:43:04Oh, I like that.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09Yes, I do like that.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12Labelled as a fireman's hose nozzle and priced at ?35.
0:43:12 > 0:43:17What could that be? As it is you, and all that old gag.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19Yeah, yeah, yeah. 27.
0:43:21 > 0:43:24Seeing as it was me, I was hoping for like 15 or 20.
0:43:24 > 0:43:2825 quid is the bottom line.
0:43:28 > 0:43:30That is ten pounds off the asking price
0:43:30 > 0:43:34and within Philip's remaining budget of ?36.96.
0:43:34 > 0:43:36Anything else catch your eye?
0:43:38 > 0:43:44These are for fitting on the hooves of ponies.
0:43:44 > 0:43:47If you can imagine in the 19th century,
0:43:47 > 0:43:49a big country house with a croquet lawn at the front.
0:43:49 > 0:43:51When it was mowed,
0:43:51 > 0:43:54there wasn't any cylinder lawnmower or whatever.
0:43:54 > 0:43:57Your mower was pulled by a team of ponies or horses.
0:43:57 > 0:44:00You didn't want the horses' hooves to sink in
0:44:00 > 0:44:03to your lovely, beautifully manicured
0:44:03 > 0:44:07croquet lawn. So the ponies had little booties. Aren't they cool?
0:44:08 > 0:44:11They are also 160 quid.
0:44:11 > 0:44:14And the only thing that just confused me a little bit,
0:44:14 > 0:44:19there is only two there. I don't know that many two-legged ponies.
0:44:19 > 0:44:22With the horseshoe back on the shelf,
0:44:22 > 0:44:24Phil has settled on the hose nozzle.
0:44:24 > 0:44:26Time to shout for Mike.
0:44:26 > 0:44:29Mike! Come into my office.
0:44:29 > 0:44:30Do have a seat. Thank you.
0:44:30 > 0:44:35Maybe some wax fruit would be nice. Absolutely right.
0:44:35 > 0:44:37Now, I really like that. Mm-hm.
0:44:37 > 0:44:38I'm not sure, actually,
0:44:38 > 0:44:43whether it was a fireman's nozzle or it was just a big country house type
0:44:43 > 0:44:47of thing because that ain't going to put out much of a fire, really.
0:44:47 > 0:44:49And all of this is me working around to the fact
0:44:49 > 0:44:51that I do want to buy it off you. But? I can hear a "but".
0:44:51 > 0:44:55Yeah, no, you have been very, very kind to me, but...20 quid.
0:44:56 > 0:45:0023, bottom line. That won't get us anywhere, that.
0:45:00 > 0:45:03The dealer has got TWO ex-wives to keep.
0:45:04 > 0:45:06Thank you very much.
0:45:06 > 0:45:08Thank goodness he hasn't three divorces!
0:45:08 > 0:45:12Even so, that is a generous settlement off the ticket price.
0:45:16 > 0:45:20Oh, look! Natasha has finally arrived in Wendover.
0:45:20 > 0:45:22Look out.
0:45:23 > 0:45:25Oh, it is Serrell.
0:45:25 > 0:45:29What a lovely way to shove it in my face, as you stuff your face,
0:45:29 > 0:45:31that I've still got things to buy.
0:45:31 > 0:45:34Finish that off. It is rude to speak with your mouth full.
0:45:34 > 0:45:38I'm glad you're... You've been minding your manners.
0:45:38 > 0:45:40But you are awfully cheeky for starting without me.
0:45:40 > 0:45:43I will remember this. Thanks, Phil.
0:45:43 > 0:45:46See you in a sec. This really is very, very good, honestly.
0:45:46 > 0:45:47It really is.
0:45:49 > 0:45:53Wasting no time, Natasha delves deep to find a bargain...or two.
0:45:53 > 0:45:56Dealer Sarah is ready to help.
0:45:56 > 0:45:58I saw a really cute thing in here. Oh!
0:45:58 > 0:46:01It is ridiculously cheap and it is a sweet little thing.
0:46:01 > 0:46:03And I am guessing that it is not silver.
0:46:03 > 0:46:05But it is a little sewing machine.
0:46:05 > 0:46:08But seeing as I have very little money,
0:46:08 > 0:46:10things with a five-pound price tag
0:46:10 > 0:46:12are starting to appeal. Appealing to you.
0:46:12 > 0:46:18Yeah. Out of the cabinet, it actually looks better in the light.
0:46:18 > 0:46:20It looks really sweet. I think it is rather sweet.
0:46:20 > 0:46:22It is unusual, isn't it? Yeah, cos it is really well worked.
0:46:22 > 0:46:24All the parts are there of the sewing machine.
0:46:24 > 0:46:28You've even got the sort of wheel at the back doing all the turning.
0:46:28 > 0:46:29And it is a really cute thing.
0:46:29 > 0:46:34Can Natasha get this tiny bracelet charm for a tiny price?
0:46:34 > 0:46:35If I were to offer you three pounds for it,
0:46:35 > 0:46:37how would you feel about that?
0:46:37 > 0:46:40I think that'd be fine. You think you can deal with that?
0:46:40 > 0:46:41I think that will be absolutely fine.
0:46:41 > 0:46:43Let's shake on the three quid. Yes, absolutely.
0:46:43 > 0:46:46Another deal sewn up, and for three pounds!
0:46:46 > 0:46:49I'd say there is hope of a little profit.
0:46:49 > 0:46:52But Natasha isn't finished yet. I just caught this.
0:46:52 > 0:46:55And, you know, this is something that has caught my eye for one
0:46:55 > 0:46:59particular reason - because everything about it is quite pretty.
0:46:59 > 0:47:02It is lovely. On a distance, on a shelf, you would just say,
0:47:02 > 0:47:03"Oh, that is so sweet."
0:47:03 > 0:47:06You have got lovely hand-painted decoration on this very
0:47:06 > 0:47:10sort of Bristol blue glass with a nice kind of frilly top
0:47:10 > 0:47:12and what looks to be the original stopper.
0:47:12 > 0:47:14Let's have a wee look, let's see if we can see the pontil mark.
0:47:14 > 0:47:18Yep, you know, it's nicely hand-blown.
0:47:18 > 0:47:20It is just a good thing.
0:47:20 > 0:47:23But what is not particularly pretty is the fact that whoever
0:47:23 > 0:47:25has taken the time to paint this,
0:47:25 > 0:47:28they have not done the best job with her sweet little face.
0:47:28 > 0:47:31She has got sweet little hands with a pointing finger,
0:47:31 > 0:47:34dainty little feet, a sweet little waist and a cute little haircut.
0:47:34 > 0:47:37And on the face, they have just been a wee bit sloppy.
0:47:37 > 0:47:38She's right.
0:47:38 > 0:47:42The label only indicates this decanter MIGHT be painted
0:47:42 > 0:47:46by Mary Gregory, who was an American woman and fine enameller of glass.
0:47:46 > 0:47:49This story is told that she was an old lady who painted
0:47:49 > 0:47:51the children she never had.
0:47:51 > 0:47:53Whether this tale is true is questionable,
0:47:53 > 0:47:57but without a doubt, her pieces are very collectable. But!
0:47:57 > 0:47:58She was a perfectionist
0:47:58 > 0:48:01and would certainly never have painted ugly chops like that.
0:48:01 > 0:48:06Now, it has got that age-old motif written on their - A/F.
0:48:06 > 0:48:08So sold as found.
0:48:08 > 0:48:11So there has got to be some damage somewhere.
0:48:11 > 0:48:13So see if we can source it.
0:48:14 > 0:48:17Yeah, there is a little bit of a crack where the handle meets
0:48:17 > 0:48:19the neck of the decanter.
0:48:19 > 0:48:23It has a fair ticket price of ?28.
0:48:23 > 0:48:25Sarah, out of all the lovely things in the shop,
0:48:25 > 0:48:29I have been attracted to this sort of glistening blue decanter.
0:48:29 > 0:48:32Isn't it lovely? It is a little bit damaged, it is noted on the label.
0:48:32 > 0:48:35So I was thinking of making an offer, it's a wee bit cheeky.
0:48:35 > 0:48:38OK. But I thought, seeing as we have become such good friends...
0:48:38 > 0:48:40You wouldn't be offended. It is worth a try.
0:48:40 > 0:48:43You would take it in good humour and you wouldn't slap me across the face.
0:48:43 > 0:48:47I'm going to offer 18. And see what you can do for me.
0:48:47 > 0:48:50Sarah needs to put Natasha's cheeky offer to the dealer
0:48:50 > 0:48:51selling the decanter.
0:48:51 > 0:48:53Time for a quick phone call.
0:48:53 > 0:48:57She said if you make it 20, then you could have it. Oh...
0:48:57 > 0:49:01Two pounds more. What about if I said 19? Just for a laugh.
0:49:01 > 0:49:03Oh, how about 19 for a laugh?
0:49:05 > 0:49:07Yeah, you sure?
0:49:07 > 0:49:10OK. Great. Thanks, Chloe. Thanks very much.
0:49:10 > 0:49:12Natasha has haggled hard,
0:49:12 > 0:49:14getting around a third of the ticket price
0:49:14 > 0:49:18knocked off the decanter, plus the bracelet charm for three pounds.
0:49:18 > 0:49:22Could these be the lots to get Natasha a big profit?
0:49:24 > 0:49:27As this leg of the journey draws to a close, here's
0:49:27 > 0:49:30a rundown of what Philip and Natasha bought on their travels.
0:49:30 > 0:49:34Natasha started the road trip by picking up a Scottish plaid
0:49:34 > 0:49:36brooch and a large Belfast sink.
0:49:36 > 0:49:37As you do.
0:49:37 > 0:49:41She also bought a hand-painted pin dish, a white metal bracelet
0:49:41 > 0:49:45charm and a blue glass decanter depicting a Victorian girl.
0:49:45 > 0:49:49The five lots cost Natasha ?129.
0:49:49 > 0:49:53Philip's purchases include a folio of prints,
0:49:53 > 0:49:56a set of four Art Deco burr walnut chairs,
0:49:56 > 0:49:58two Victorian letter seals,
0:49:58 > 0:50:02a silver-plated ribbon puller in the shape of a stork
0:50:02 > 0:50:05and a 19th-century copper and brass nozzle.
0:50:05 > 0:50:08All that lot cost him ?153.
0:50:08 > 0:50:10What did they think of each other's buys?
0:50:10 > 0:50:11Phil has done a great job.
0:50:11 > 0:50:15It doesn't matter how poor the condition of those prints is
0:50:15 > 0:50:18because they are not foxed, so it is salvageable.
0:50:18 > 0:50:20And for a fiver, they'll do fine.
0:50:20 > 0:50:22I really, really love that oval dish.
0:50:22 > 0:50:26I think it is pure Victorian. But it is such a lovely, lovely thing.
0:50:26 > 0:50:29And if you can find two people at the auction who really want that
0:50:29 > 0:50:32and covet it, it could go and make a lot of money for her.
0:50:32 > 0:50:36?45 for four Art Deco chairs could be all the money. I'm not sure.
0:50:36 > 0:50:38They could make 100, they could make 20,
0:50:38 > 0:50:40such is the story with furniture these days.
0:50:40 > 0:50:43So not too sure, but I think he has got the balance just right.
0:50:43 > 0:50:45He will do fine with those.
0:50:45 > 0:50:48The sink, however, there is an exception to every rule.
0:50:48 > 0:50:51I think she might just go down the plugger with that.
0:50:53 > 0:50:56It's time now to turn those lots into a profit
0:50:56 > 0:50:59and head to auction in Chiswick, in west London.
0:50:59 > 0:51:02This is my Mecca. This is my Mecca!
0:51:02 > 0:51:05Natasha is enjoying her time in the capital already.
0:51:05 > 0:51:07I don't think she gets out much.
0:51:07 > 0:51:10I think you think this is a fairground ride, honestly.
0:51:10 > 0:51:12Scream if you want to go faster!
0:51:12 > 0:51:13Aaaah!
0:51:13 > 0:51:16Almost there, Philip. Hold on tight.
0:51:16 > 0:51:19High Road Auctions is the venue for today's sale.
0:51:21 > 0:51:24As auctioneer Ross Mercer takes to the rostrum,
0:51:24 > 0:51:26our experts take to their seats.
0:51:26 > 0:51:29First up, lovely, is your brooch. I know.
0:51:29 > 0:51:32Our Glasgow girl was quite taken
0:51:32 > 0:51:33with this brooch.
0:51:33 > 0:51:34Hopefully, someone in the room
0:51:34 > 0:51:36is just as keen.
0:51:36 > 0:51:38I've got a bid here at ?5.
0:51:38 > 0:51:40Oh, off to the races.
0:51:40 > 0:51:41At ?8, bid me 10.
0:51:41 > 0:51:4312 now. 15, do I hear?
0:51:43 > 0:51:4715 now on the telephone. At ?15.
0:51:47 > 0:51:48A phone bidder!
0:51:48 > 0:51:49From Scotland.
0:51:49 > 0:51:52Last chance, going to sell it now
0:51:52 > 0:51:55to my colleague on the telephone at ?15.
0:51:55 > 0:51:59That's all right. It's ?15. I'll take that.
0:51:59 > 0:52:00A steady start.
0:52:02 > 0:52:04First up for Philip, his folio of prints.
0:52:04 > 0:52:07Maybe this chap wants to get his paws on dog pictures.
0:52:07 > 0:52:09Let's find out. Arrr!
0:52:09 > 0:52:11I've got bids here at ?10.
0:52:11 > 0:52:12Against you at 10.
0:52:12 > 0:52:1415, I will take. 15. 20 now.
0:52:14 > 0:52:1620 bid on the phone. I'll take five.
0:52:16 > 0:52:1825. 30 now.
0:52:18 > 0:52:22?30 bid with my colleague, left-hand side. 30. Last chance.
0:52:22 > 0:52:23Going to sell it now
0:52:23 > 0:52:26to the telephone at ?30.
0:52:26 > 0:52:28That's remarkable, isn't it?
0:52:28 > 0:52:30That is excellent!
0:52:30 > 0:52:31I'm please with that.
0:52:31 > 0:52:33Very pleased, very pleased.
0:52:33 > 0:52:35Five prints, bought for a pound each
0:52:35 > 0:52:37and turning a ?25 profit.
0:52:37 > 0:52:39Now that is how to do it.
0:52:39 > 0:52:43Next to go under the gavel is Natasha's big Belfast sink.
0:52:43 > 0:52:44Just the job for London.
0:52:44 > 0:52:47?10 surely for it. Five I will take.
0:52:47 > 0:52:48It has got to make a pound.
0:52:48 > 0:52:51A pound on bid. A pound? Two. Three.
0:52:51 > 0:52:54?5 bid. 8. 10. 12.
0:52:54 > 0:52:5715 I have. At ?15. 20 bid on the phone.
0:52:57 > 0:53:00At ?20. Probably broken a record here somewhere.
0:53:00 > 0:53:03At 20. Hey! All done?
0:53:04 > 0:53:07Bad luck, the first loss of the day.
0:53:07 > 0:53:10But there is still time to claw it all back.
0:53:10 > 0:53:13Philip's fire hose nozzle is next.
0:53:13 > 0:53:15?10, it's no money.
0:53:15 > 0:53:19?10 bid. At 10. 12. ?12. Bid me 14.
0:53:19 > 0:53:2114. OK. 16 bid. 18 now.
0:53:21 > 0:53:2320 bid. And two.
0:53:23 > 0:53:26At ?22 I'm bid. The gentleman stood in front, at 22. So close.
0:53:26 > 0:53:29Clearly, I paid the right price for it.
0:53:29 > 0:53:30?22.
0:53:30 > 0:53:3324, may I say? ?24 bid.
0:53:33 > 0:53:36Profit! At ?24, then.
0:53:36 > 0:53:38At ?24...
0:53:38 > 0:53:40Sadly, after commission is deducted,
0:53:40 > 0:53:44Philip is going to be a little out of pocket.
0:53:44 > 0:53:46Now, Natasha's blue decanter,
0:53:46 > 0:53:48enamelled with a face that looks
0:53:48 > 0:53:51as if it launched 1,000 ships.
0:53:51 > 0:53:52Will she appeal to any bidders?
0:53:52 > 0:53:54?5? At ?5. Bid 10.
0:53:54 > 0:53:5715. 20. New bidder at 20. Why?
0:53:57 > 0:53:58Five now.
0:53:58 > 0:54:01?20. 25. OK, OK.
0:54:01 > 0:54:03?25. ?25, lady's bid.
0:54:03 > 0:54:07Sitting in the front row at 25.
0:54:07 > 0:54:09Thank you!
0:54:09 > 0:54:12Well done. You bought a nice thing.
0:54:12 > 0:54:15Oh, yes. Decent profit for Natasha there.
0:54:15 > 0:54:18Philip has received some bad news about his next lot.
0:54:18 > 0:54:20Do you remember those two seals? Mm-hm.
0:54:20 > 0:54:22There was the bone one and the agate one.
0:54:22 > 0:54:25Ah-ha, yeah, they were pretty nice. Yeah, one of them has gone astray.
0:54:25 > 0:54:29Oh, no! Has it been lost? Yeah. Don't know where.
0:54:29 > 0:54:32Philip paid ?35 for the two seals.
0:54:32 > 0:54:36An insurance valuation for the lot was given at ?65.
0:54:38 > 0:54:41If the one remaining seal sells for less,
0:54:41 > 0:54:43Philip will get the insurance valuation.
0:54:43 > 0:54:47But if it makes more in the sale, Philip is even better off.
0:54:47 > 0:54:51?10 I'm bid on the books. At ?10. 15 now.
0:54:51 > 0:54:5420 there. At 20. 25. 30.
0:54:54 > 0:54:5630 bid. 35.
0:54:56 > 0:54:58Sure? At ?30, through to the back, at 30.
0:54:58 > 0:55:01Do you know what? It has done all right on its own.
0:55:01 > 0:55:05Stood at the back of the seating, at ?30. I'm going to sell it.
0:55:05 > 0:55:06So, the gavel is down at ?30.
0:55:06 > 0:55:11And Philip's insurance valuation is ?65,
0:55:11 > 0:55:14which means he has actually made a ?30 profit.
0:55:14 > 0:55:18Natasha paid just ?3 for this bracelet charm.
0:55:18 > 0:55:19?5 starts me.
0:55:19 > 0:55:22?5 I'm bid. At 8. Get in, girl, get in.
0:55:22 > 0:55:2412 in the centre. At 14?

0:55:25 > 0:55:26In the centre of the seating at 12.
0:55:26 > 0:55:2814.
0:55:28 > 0:55:2916. At ?16.
0:55:29 > 0:55:32Do you know what? You should have bought the whole charm bracelet
0:55:32 > 0:55:33and chopped them up.
0:55:33 > 0:55:38Last chance. Going to the gentleman at ?16.
0:55:38 > 0:55:40So, five times what Natasha paid
0:55:40 > 0:55:43for it, that really is charming. Ha!
0:55:43 > 0:55:46Next up, Philip's ribbon puller.
0:55:46 > 0:55:47?20 starts.
0:55:47 > 0:55:5020 bid. 25. 30.
0:55:50 > 0:55:52Five with you, sir. At 35.
0:55:52 > 0:55:55Straight in now 40. Left-hand side at 40.
0:55:55 > 0:55:57At ?40.
0:55:57 > 0:56:01Lady's bid at ?40 only. I am going to sell them on at 40. Oh, Phil.
0:56:01 > 0:56:04Don't make a loss, don't make a loss, no! At ?40...
0:56:04 > 0:56:07Yes, it is a loss. But only a small one.
0:56:07 > 0:56:10Phil got a great deal for his set of four chairs
0:56:10 > 0:56:13but how will they do at today's sale?
0:56:13 > 0:56:15We have got bids at ?40. Straight in at 40.
0:56:15 > 0:56:17Five now. At 45.
0:56:17 > 0:56:2050 bid. 50. Five now. 55. 60.

0:56:24 > 0:56:2765. At ?70 bid now.
0:56:27 > 0:56:29Come all this way, sir. 75.
0:56:29 > 0:56:33?75 now. 85. Still worth it.
0:56:33 > 0:56:36?85. At 85.
0:56:36 > 0:56:3890 bid.
0:56:38 > 0:56:40Come along. At ?85.
0:56:40 > 0:56:42Gentleman in the seating at 85. This is exciting.
0:56:42 > 0:56:44I'm going to sell it to the gentleman.
0:56:44 > 0:56:49You should say thank you to your man behind you. He is a good chap.
0:56:49 > 0:56:51Philip has almost doubled his money.
0:56:51 > 0:56:53Excellent stuff.
0:56:53 > 0:56:55The pressure is on for Natasha.
0:56:55 > 0:56:57And next up is her gamble buy.
0:56:57 > 0:57:00She spent ?70 on this little pin dish.
0:57:00 > 0:57:03But will it bring big bids?
0:57:03 > 0:57:05I've got bids here at ?10.
0:57:05 > 0:57:06Bid on the books at 10.
0:57:06 > 0:57:08Take 12 from you. At ?12.
0:57:08 > 0:57:11Bid me 14. 14. 16. At 16.
0:57:11 > 0:57:13Why is he going in twos?
0:57:13 > 0:57:16A minute ago he was moving in fivers.
0:57:16 > 0:57:19Now with Rachel, 20 bid. It is not looking good. With the lady at 20.
0:57:19 > 0:57:23In the seating at ?20. Say 25, don't say 22. I'll take five from you.
0:57:23 > 0:57:27It is a lovely item. Yeah. At ?20. Last chance at ?20.
0:57:27 > 0:57:29We are going to sell it to the lady at 20...
0:57:29 > 0:57:34Oh, that is really horrific. Oh, that is a big, big ouch.
0:57:34 > 0:57:39That is sort of physically sore as well as mentally bruising.
0:57:39 > 0:57:42I know, Natasha, such a disappointing end. Bad luck.
0:57:42 > 0:57:45Do you know what, lovely? I think I had a bit of luck there.
0:57:45 > 0:57:48In auction terms, well, it is two on to me, isn't it?
0:57:48 > 0:57:51Onwards and upwards. Come on, you OK?
0:57:51 > 0:57:53(Well done.)
0:57:54 > 0:57:59Natasha started this leg with ?173.12.
0:57:59 > 0:58:05After paying auction house fees, she is down ?50.28. Oh, dear.
0:58:05 > 0:58:11As a result, Natasha has ?122.84 to start next time.
0:58:11 > 0:58:16Philip has stolen the lead, starting with ?166.96.
0:58:16 > 0:58:20And after costs, he is up ?47.08,
0:58:20 > 0:58:26leaving Mr Serrell with ?214.04 in his kitty to carry forward.
0:58:26 > 0:58:29All right, go, go, go! Before the bus comes.
0:58:29 > 0:58:32And so, until next time, cheerio!
0:59:01 > 0:59:03Our service providers work truly all hours
0:59:03 > 0:59:06to bring patients exceptional care.
