0:00:02 > 0:00:04It's the nation's favourite antiques experts.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06I don't know what to do!
0:00:06 > 0:00:12With £200 each, a classic car and a goal to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:12 > 0:00:13What a little diamond.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15The aim, to make the biggest profit at auction.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17But it is no mean feat.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19- Back in the game!- Charlie!
0:00:19 > 0:00:23There will be worthy winners and valiant losers.
0:00:23 > 0:00:28So, will it be the high road to glory or a slow road to disaster?
0:00:28 > 0:00:31- Oh! - This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Yeah.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41It's the second leg of a road trip for international
0:00:41 > 0:00:46man of mystery David Harper and fellow treasure hunter Anita Manning.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51I am enjoying this early-morning drive in Yorkshire.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52The sky is blue.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54It is a wee bit cold, it is a wee bit blowy,
0:00:54 > 0:00:59but we are nice and cosy-tosy in a lovely wee Moggie.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Sorry, can you say that in English for me again, so I understand?
0:01:01 > 0:01:03CHUCKLES Languages may not be his forte,
0:01:03 > 0:01:07but antiques dealer David is a whiz at spotting hidden gems.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10He is perhaps not always as successful with the ladies, though.
0:01:10 > 0:01:11Stand by.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- Hello.- Hello. - Do you like men in uniform?- I do!
0:01:14 > 0:01:17I don't know about men with big heads!
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Oh, I say!
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Auctioneer extraordinaire and antiquing royalty,
0:01:23 > 0:01:27Anita specialises in jewellery and dressing up.
0:01:27 > 0:01:28Very Queen Mother.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31SHE LAUGHS
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Aye. Positively regal, Anita.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Their jazzy ride is a 1965 Morris Minor convertible
0:01:38 > 0:01:43and their stage is God's own country, rural Yorkshire.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44- Fields...- All right.
0:01:44 > 0:01:49- Fields, horses jumping over fences, all that sort of stuff.- Marvellous.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Stop leaping yourself, if you don't mind.
0:01:52 > 0:01:53Quite.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Both made a loss at the first auction.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Starting the trip with £200 each,
0:01:58 > 0:02:02David now has...
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Anita also made a loss,
0:02:04 > 0:02:07but is in the lead with...
0:02:09 > 0:02:13Got any advice for your rival, Anita? Seeing as how you are out front.
0:02:14 > 0:02:20I would keep away from these bits of cars and old bits of iron.
0:02:20 > 0:02:21HE CHUCKLES
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Good advice.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30Anita and David are travelling over 700 miles.
0:02:30 > 0:02:31From Ramsbottom, Lancashire,
0:02:31 > 0:02:33they snake their way up through
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Yorkshire all the way to Bonnie Scotland and the town of Paisley.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Today, we are starting out near York
0:02:39 > 0:02:41in the village of Barmby Moor,
0:02:41 > 0:02:43ending up at an auction in Harrogate.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50- This looks fabulous.- Oh, my gosh.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52- Anita...- This is fabulous.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57Bar Farm Antiques occupies several old farm buildings, funnily enough.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Looks like Serrell territory.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Look! Is that one of your girlfriends?
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Listen, I'm off. I will see you later. Have a great day.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07Have fun, darling.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08- OK. See you.- Bye.- Bye.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11In spite of the size of the place,
0:03:11 > 0:03:15David spots something straight off the bat.
0:03:16 > 0:03:21That is a really, really wild thing. What on earth was it?
0:03:21 > 0:03:26Well, I'm guessing we are talking about police station, circa 1955.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31I am the police sergeant, you are the criminal,
0:03:31 > 0:03:33you are on that side, I have nabbed you.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36You are in big trouble and I want your fingerprints.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40And I think this is basically a fingerprint...
0:03:40 > 0:03:42I want to call it a machine.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46In 1901, the first fingerprint bureau was set up in the UK
0:03:46 > 0:03:48at Scotland Yard.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Four years later, fingerprinting was used
0:03:51 > 0:03:54for the first time to convict a murderer.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58David likes it, so let's meet dealer Greg from New Orleans.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- What's it like having your fingerprints taken, Greg?- It's OK.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03THEY LAUGH
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Ha, ha, ha, David.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07- Are you looking for a price?- Yes.
0:04:08 > 0:04:14- 45.- 45.- I think that is a pretty good price for a piece of furniture.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16HE SIGHS
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- It couldn't be 20?- No, it can't be 20.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23You can't do a little better than that?
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Why don't we do what all the best dealers in the world have done
0:04:26 > 0:04:29for a million years.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33Compromise, meet in the middle?
0:04:33 > 0:04:35And where was the middle starting?
0:04:35 > 0:04:3725.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41- That will do.- Good man. Thank you very much.- That's all right.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Great deal and David's first item in the old bag.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Meanwhile, Anita is travelling just over ten miles west to
0:04:53 > 0:04:55the beautiful walled city of York.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00Where the infamous Guy Fawkes was born and educated.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05She is visiting the Antiques Centre York
0:05:05 > 0:05:08and Becky is on hand to assist.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Stand by, Becky. Here comes Anita.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- I quite like these wee silly condiments up here.- Yes?
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- Do you want to have a look?- Yes.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26They are a heck of a good fun. I think they are probably Continental.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27But good fun.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Oh, I am quite tempted.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Ticket price is £10.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Oh, look. There's more.
0:05:37 > 0:05:42More condiments. This time...
0:05:42 > 0:05:44cuddling pigs.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- That one has got a school tie on. - THEY CHUCKLE
0:05:47 > 0:05:51They have a collective price of £26.
0:05:51 > 0:05:56I wonder if you could ask if these could be bought for
0:05:56 > 0:05:5815?
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- You can always ask. - I can always ask.- Uh-huh.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04That is quite a discount Anita is wanting,
0:06:04 > 0:06:06and after a quick phone call to the owners...
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- How did we get on?- He can do two for 18.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- Ah, wonderful, wonderful. Thank you very much.- You're welcome.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- They are fun, aren't they? - They are fun, yeah.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16If you say so!
0:06:19 > 0:06:24One lot secured and it is time for some celebratory dressing up.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Very Queen Mother.
0:06:28 > 0:06:29CHUCKLES
0:06:33 > 0:06:36David is also at it. Dear, oh, dear.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39# And then you'll start him laughing with all his blessed might
0:06:39 > 0:06:42# Ha ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha
0:06:42 > 0:06:43# Ha-ha... #
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- Hello.- Hello.- Do you like men in uniform?- I do.- Well...
0:06:46 > 0:06:50I don't know about men with big heads!
0:06:50 > 0:06:53That really is criminal.
0:06:53 > 0:06:54Back to shopping?
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Tell you something, this is quite unusual, isn't it?
0:06:58 > 0:06:59It is a neat thing.
0:06:59 > 0:07:05I like Post Office things, plus it is old and during the war and...
0:07:05 > 0:07:08it is nice. And the way it is just worn.
0:07:08 > 0:07:13George VI, he was on the throne from 1937 to our current Queen.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Greg got this sign from a local Post Office.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20Items like this can be hugely collectable.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22"Can" being the operative word.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26- I would have a go at 30 or 40.- OK.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- Is that anywhere near for you?- It might be all right. 40 is all right.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- OK.- 40 is all right.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33I will have a go at 40.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37- OK, I want you to make some money. - Thank you very much. Good show.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Well, that was easy. At £40, that is another good deal.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47And HRH Anita has also made an interesting find.
0:07:47 > 0:07:52Here we have a sort of 1950s, a kind of "kid on" agate,
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- it's all "kid on", isn't it? - Yeah.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57I don't mind.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00I don't mind it being "kid on".
0:08:00 > 0:08:05Otherwise known as costume jewellery, Anita. Ticket price £18.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- If I can get it for a tenner, that would be great.- Yeah, I'll ask.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10- Do you want to try?- Yeah.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Do your best for me, darling.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Anita is all about the cheeky offers today.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18But will Becky come through for her again?
0:08:18 > 0:08:20- Yes, we can do that.- Can you?!
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Come here.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26You have been very good.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Yes, a tenner is good indeed.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32Frugal Anita has now bought two items for just £28.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38David, meanwhile, is still exploring.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with sofas like this.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46He has found a 1920s drop-end settee.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47Please, sit down.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Let me demonstrate how this sofa works.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Greg, please step into my office.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- Right, get yourself comfortable. - I'm all right.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58- How are the springs feeling?- Mm-hm. Pretty good.- Are you sure?- Perfect.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- Because they often stick in places...- No, it's perfect.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03..you don't want. No, they are sticking in places you don't want.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05They are definitely sticking...
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Not surprising, in those tight trousers, David.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10There we go.
0:09:10 > 0:09:15- Ah, I can lay down. - You can be recumbent.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18So it converts into a little chaise.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21So, in the business, it is referred to as a 1920s drop arm...
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- Don't fall asleep, I'm not that boring!- OK.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27These settees can be picked up cheaply as they can cost
0:09:27 > 0:09:30over £1,000 to restore and cover.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Once covered, though, you have a 100-year-old sofa worth,
0:09:34 > 0:09:36sometimes, thousands of pounds.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37How much is it?
0:09:37 > 0:09:39- £20.- No, yeah...
0:09:39 > 0:09:42I want to say for goodness' sake buy it for 20 quid,
0:09:42 > 0:09:44it is ridiculous, it will cost 5,000-7000 to create it...
0:09:44 > 0:09:46£10! £5.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Five?!
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Five?!
0:09:50 > 0:09:53The wheels are worth five.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54£5. Good man.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59- Greg, it's a delight doing business with you.- All right.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02David has spent a total of £70 on three items.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Pretty good for a morning's shopping!
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Anita, meanwhile, is on her way to Murton,
0:10:10 > 0:10:13a small village on the outskirts of York.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16She is visiting the Yorkshire Museum of Farming
0:10:16 > 0:10:20and meeting curator Louise to learn about the Women's Land Army,
0:10:20 > 0:10:24an institution that was established during the First World War.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27At this time, the majority of men were on the battlefields
0:10:27 > 0:10:30and it was estimated that Britain would run out of food
0:10:30 > 0:10:32within three weeks.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35In response, women were rallied to help out in the fields
0:10:35 > 0:10:39to build food supplies. Bless 'em!
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Who were the Land Girls?
0:10:41 > 0:10:44They were inspirational women, really,
0:10:44 > 0:10:48again, out of the kitchens and back onto the land,
0:10:48 > 0:10:51showing that they were just as capable as the men
0:10:51 > 0:10:52of doing these jobs.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56Many of the girls came from the city and, with no real training,
0:10:56 > 0:10:59were flung straight in at the deep end -
0:10:59 > 0:11:02ploughing fields, clearing ditches, milking cows,
0:11:02 > 0:11:05all the things a man would have traditionally done.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- I imagine it might have been a bit of a shock to the system.- Yeah.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12To get involved in very hard manual labour.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Yeah, I imagine it would have been.
0:11:14 > 0:11:19You do see examples as well about a woman being killed by a horse
0:11:19 > 0:11:21cos she was thrown off the horse,
0:11:21 > 0:11:24so, yes, it was very hard work at the time.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- And could be dangerous. - Yeah, it could be very dangerous.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29At the end of the First World War,
0:11:29 > 0:11:33women were encouraged to return to more ladylike occupations.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36That doesn't seem awful fair, does it?
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- They'd been given a taste of freedom.- Girls, you've done well.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Off you go back home to the kitchen!
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Their contribution to the war effort went a long way
0:11:44 > 0:11:47to help the women's suffrage movement.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50By the time the Land Army was re-established
0:11:50 > 0:11:52for the Second World War,
0:11:52 > 0:11:54women had been afforded the right to vote for over a decade.
0:11:54 > 0:11:59How many women worked on the land? How many Land Girls did we have?
0:11:59 > 0:12:02In the Second World War, by the end of it,
0:12:02 > 0:12:04there was about 80,000 of them.
0:12:04 > 0:12:09Dorothy Taylor and Iris Newbold are two of these exceptional women.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13They belonged to the East Riding Women's Land Army
0:12:13 > 0:12:15and now, aged 87 and 90,
0:12:15 > 0:12:20are two of only three that are still alive today.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- What was your favourite job? - Haymaking.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25I loved haymaking, the old way.
0:12:25 > 0:12:30We used to load up the wagon and then sit on top of the hay wagon
0:12:30 > 0:12:33and roll home with the horse and wagon.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Wonderful days, I loved hay time.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39And long, hot summers.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42And mine was going on the milk round
0:12:42 > 0:12:47and you'd meet some of the lovely people on the way.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50A lot of evacuated people were there
0:12:50 > 0:12:55and it was just friendly all the way.
0:12:55 > 0:13:00Dorothy came from a mining community and Iris was a city girl.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Neither had farmed before.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04It must've been a very important time for you
0:13:04 > 0:13:06when you look back on it.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10Well, we were girls when we went in and we were grown-up girls
0:13:10 > 0:13:14- when we came out. - It made me a different person.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18Three-and-a-half years made a difference to you altogether.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21More confident, yes.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25In spite of the long hours and exhausting work,
0:13:25 > 0:13:28the girls still found the energy for a bit of fun.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Tell me, when all the work was done,
0:13:32 > 0:13:36- were you able to go out and play?- Yes, yes.
0:13:36 > 0:13:41If you were near to a town, I was two-and-a-half miles away,
0:13:41 > 0:13:46so you had to walk into town after you'd finished work.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50And if you were going to a dance or the cinema,
0:13:50 > 0:13:52then you had to walk back again.
0:13:52 > 0:13:58Girls, what did it feel like after the war, when the war was over?
0:13:58 > 0:14:02You'd worked hard, you knew that you'd made your contribution
0:14:02 > 0:14:04- to the war effort...- Flat.
0:14:04 > 0:14:09- And then you were sent back into the kitchen.- Yes, flat.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13- Very flat.- Yes, it was.
0:14:13 > 0:14:18I went into horticulture so I could just find my feet
0:14:18 > 0:14:23and get over the shock of changing again to city life.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26And I went into Marks & Spencer!
0:14:29 > 0:14:31What a change that was!
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Whilst these remarkable ladies
0:14:33 > 0:14:36may not have been on the actual front line,
0:14:36 > 0:14:39the jobs they carried out were vital in keeping Britain fed.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Their ability to take on work originally done by men
0:14:42 > 0:14:44also played an important role
0:14:44 > 0:14:48in developing women's future economic and political rights.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Now, what's David up to?
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Also in York, he's popping into Red House Antiques,
0:14:54 > 0:15:00where dealer Michael is on hand to help him spend his remaining £96.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Go, Dave!
0:15:06 > 0:15:09What about that ginger jar there? Can I have a quick look at that?
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Of course you can.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16It's been adapted to a table lamp
0:15:16 > 0:15:18and the one downside to it
0:15:18 > 0:15:21is, obviously, that it's been drilled.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24It's been drilled, has it?
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Ouch! Ouch!
0:15:27 > 0:15:30- Gosh, it's a nice pot, isn't it? - It's without its lid, obviously.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Yeah, without its lid.
0:15:32 > 0:15:37Ginger jars were originally used to transport caramelised ginger
0:15:37 > 0:15:40and for storage and they became popular ornaments
0:15:40 > 0:15:44- when the ginger was eaten up. - So it's definitely Chinese.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47These symbols here are Buddhist, aren't they?
0:15:47 > 0:15:50But it's very good quality for a ginger jar.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Michael's ringing the owner to see
0:15:52 > 0:15:56if there's any movement on the ticket price.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58£55 is the very best.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Well, at £55, Michael, I've just got to say yes.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Thank you very much indeed, That is brilliant.
0:16:03 > 0:16:09For £55, the Chinese ginger jar is David's last purchase of the day.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Together again and it's time to rest up in preparation
0:16:14 > 0:16:17for another exciting day's shopping tomorrow.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Night-night!
0:16:22 > 0:16:27Next morning, our duo are hitting the antique trail once more.
0:16:27 > 0:16:32So, David, our second day of buying, we're in wonderful Yorkshire,
0:16:32 > 0:16:38the gateway to the North. The sun is shining, the sky is blue.
0:16:38 > 0:16:43- And the roof is off!- And it's blooming freezing!- Oh, no, stop it!
0:16:43 > 0:16:45You look so glamorous, though!
0:16:47 > 0:16:52David went big yesterday, spending £125 on four lots -
0:16:52 > 0:16:56a police fingerprinting table, a Post Office letterbox,
0:16:56 > 0:17:01a 1920s drop-end settee and a Chinese ginger jar lamp.
0:17:01 > 0:17:06Today, he has just £41.46 left to spend.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Anita, in contrast, went small.
0:17:08 > 0:17:13She bought two pairs of condiment sets and a 1950s brooch.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14Having spent just £28,
0:17:14 > 0:17:19she still has £164.14 left for today.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24David and Anita are travelling around 30 miles
0:17:24 > 0:17:26to the historic market town of Pickering
0:17:26 > 0:17:29and to Anita's first shop today.
0:17:29 > 0:17:34So what treasures await you here, then, Anita?
0:17:34 > 0:17:38I've just been shown this wonderful board of photographs.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42Now, these photographs are showing the war weekend in Pickering.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45It's in October and during that weekend,
0:17:45 > 0:17:50servicemen and ex-servicemen come together really to celebrate
0:17:50 > 0:17:53the wonderful work that they did during the war
0:17:53 > 0:17:58and they get all dressed up in uniforms and look who we have here!
0:17:58 > 0:18:01We have our wonderful Land Girls
0:18:01 > 0:18:06and there is Dorothy and there is Iris.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10They're all dressed up in their breeches and their uniforms
0:18:10 > 0:18:12and don't they look smart!
0:18:12 > 0:18:15What are the chances, eh?
0:18:15 > 0:18:19Sadly, this is not for sale, but what else has she found?
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Owner Caroline is on duty to help.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24I notice you had some Mauchline ware there.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27- Could I have a wee look at it?- Yeah.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31- These have just come in, have these ones.- Right, OK.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33I'm very fond of Mauchline ware.
0:18:33 > 0:18:38It was made in a little village in Ayrshire called Mauchline
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- which was associated with Robert Burns.- Oh, right, yes.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42He lived in that area.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47Anita has spotted a collection of Machline treen,
0:18:47 > 0:18:49comprising a wool winder,
0:18:49 > 0:18:52pocket watch holder, needle box and money box.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55They have a collective ticket price of £62.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01Considering the fact that we do have damage,
0:19:01 > 0:19:04I would like to be paying in the region of around about £20 for them.
0:19:04 > 0:19:09- I couldn't go that low, no. - Could you come to 25?
0:19:09 > 0:19:13- Go on, then.- Would you do 25? That's lovely.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Thank you very much, Caroline.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19Swift business! Oh, there is more!
0:19:22 > 0:19:26This is like Italian glass. It's like Murano glass.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28That's the word. I couldn't remember!
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Yes, it's like Murano glass,
0:19:30 > 0:19:34but there's nothing to indicate on the base.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Murano glass has been made on the Venetian island of Murano
0:19:37 > 0:19:40for centuries and is very collectable.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Whilst this particular vase may not be Murano,
0:19:43 > 0:19:46it is Italian, with a price of £48.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Would you do 20 on that?
0:19:50 > 0:19:54- Yeah.- Let's go for that one. - That one?- Yeah, £20, that's great.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56That's lovely.
0:19:56 > 0:20:01Anita has now spent a total of £45 in this shop.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04David's just a few minutes away at Pickering Parish Church,
0:20:04 > 0:20:06a beautiful place of worship
0:20:06 > 0:20:10that has held an amazing secret for most of its existence.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Archaeologist Dr Kate Giles is showing him around.
0:20:16 > 0:20:21Kate, I really didn't expect to see pictures painted onto the wall.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30I've never seen anything quite like them in my life before.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34If they're impressive to me today, in the 21st century,
0:20:34 > 0:20:38what did they mean to people in the 15th and 16th century?
0:20:38 > 0:20:40The pictures depict various saints
0:20:40 > 0:20:44who are hugely revered by the medieval Christians.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Well, even I can recognise George.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51St George and the Dragon, yes, that's absolutely right.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54What's really exciting for us at Pickering
0:20:54 > 0:20:57is that we know that these saints' images
0:20:57 > 0:20:59were placed in calendar order.
0:20:59 > 0:21:04This makes them the only medieval paintings of their kind in the UK.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07The medieval calendar differed from ours
0:21:07 > 0:21:10with the year beginning in March rather than in January
0:21:10 > 0:21:14and the first saint's day depicted in the church paintings is in April.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17So, this is the beginning of the calendar with George, April.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20That's right, and then we have May with Christopher.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23We go on to St John the Baptist
0:21:23 > 0:21:26and the Virgin above him, July and August,
0:21:26 > 0:21:30and then November and December by the time we get to the east end.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33These magnificent works of art are believed to have been done
0:21:33 > 0:21:35by a group of travelling painters,
0:21:35 > 0:21:38moving around monastic houses and churches of the region.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40And colours, colours galore.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Of course, they've faded over the last several hundred years.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Would they have been really bright and vibrant in their day?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Churches were about giving people a little glimpse of heaven
0:21:49 > 0:21:52and that's part of what these paintings are designed to do.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54I can see it.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58But these exquisite images spent many years under whitewash.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00It's so hard to believe, isn't it,
0:22:00 > 0:22:02that anybody would dream of covering them up?
0:22:02 > 0:22:06It is, isn't it, but during the Reformation,
0:22:06 > 0:22:10- images of saints were highly controversial.- Dangerous?- Yes.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12The 16th century Reformation
0:22:12 > 0:22:15was sparked by corruption within the Catholic Church.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19It resulted in the fundamental break from many Catholic practices,
0:22:19 > 0:22:23such as the veneration of the saints, which became outlawed.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27It's not until the 19th century that they were re-uncovered
0:22:27 > 0:22:29during the course of restoration works in 1852.
0:22:29 > 0:22:35The rediscovery evoked great joy from the parishioners and antiquarians,
0:22:35 > 0:22:37a sentiment that was sadly not shared
0:22:37 > 0:22:39by the incumbent vicar, Ponsonby.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43He wrote a series of very worried letters to his archbishop,
0:22:43 > 0:22:45expressing his concern about the paintings.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Ponsonby worried about the dangers
0:22:47 > 0:22:51surrounding the Catholic nature of the images.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57He was also concerned that they would distract from his sermons.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01The Archbishop is really interested in the paintings
0:23:01 > 0:23:04and he encourages the Reverend Ponsonby to leave them alone
0:23:04 > 0:23:08and he uses the fateful words, "Don't do anything to them
0:23:08 > 0:23:12"until they have been copied by some skilful or competent artists."
0:23:12 > 0:23:16Sadly, Vicar Ponsonby interpreted this to the letter,
0:23:16 > 0:23:18waiting until copies were done of the paintings
0:23:18 > 0:23:20then covered them up once more.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23It was another 20 years until they were rediscovered again.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27Ponsonby's gone, the Reverend Lightfoot arrives,
0:23:27 > 0:23:30does a huge programme of restoration in the church
0:23:30 > 0:23:33and people start to tell him about the paintings
0:23:33 > 0:23:36and he decides to uncover them yet again.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38In his eagerness to restore the pictures,
0:23:38 > 0:23:42Lightfoot brings in stained-glass and paintings experts
0:23:42 > 0:23:43to work on the images,
0:23:43 > 0:23:48giving them a distinctive 19th-century Pre-Raphaelite feel.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51As it's the 19th-century, Victorians would call it being improved.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52They would do the same with furniture -
0:23:52 > 0:23:55send it back to workshops to be modernised
0:23:55 > 0:23:57and brought up to date and I think I can see here
0:23:57 > 0:24:01that the medieval picture has been brought up to date, hasn't it,
0:24:01 > 0:24:02to 19th-century imagery?
0:24:02 > 0:24:05It has and I think it's what makes the story of Pickering
0:24:05 > 0:24:09so unique, that we not only have the original medieval wall paintings,
0:24:09 > 0:24:12but we also have the 19th-century interventions as well
0:24:12 > 0:24:17and what's more amazing is that we actually have the original copies
0:24:17 > 0:24:20of the drawings of the paintings made in 1852,
0:24:20 > 0:24:23which we found in the vestry of the church.
0:24:23 > 0:24:2519th-century drawings of the paintings
0:24:25 > 0:24:28had been lost and found several times.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30In 2014, half-life size drawings
0:24:30 > 0:24:34were found in the church's safety deposit box,
0:24:34 > 0:24:35dating back to the 1950s.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37It makes you wonder
0:24:37 > 0:24:40if there's anything else yet to be discovered.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Yes, if I've learnt anything over the last ten years,
0:24:43 > 0:24:45it's that Pickering has the power to surprise
0:24:45 > 0:24:47and who knows what might emerge from the walls
0:24:47 > 0:24:51or come out of the drawers or archives in the future.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Whilst the paintings have spent much of their existence hidden away,
0:24:55 > 0:24:57today, they are celebrated in their full glory,
0:24:57 > 0:25:00attracting thousands of visitors each year.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Anita is travelling nearly 30 miles to Thirsk,
0:25:05 > 0:25:10hometown of Alfred Wright, author of All Creatures Great And Small
0:25:10 > 0:25:13and on which he based the fictional town of Darrowby.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21She's visiting Three Tuns Antiques and Curios
0:25:21 > 0:25:23with just under £120 left to spend.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27Ah, something shiny has caught her eye.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Surprise-surprise(!)
0:25:29 > 0:25:33- Could I take this outside to have a wee look at it?- Yes.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36You not going to do a runner, are you?
0:25:36 > 0:25:37I hope not!
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Judging by the glint in Anita's eye, she is up to something, though.
0:25:40 > 0:25:41Don't go back, Anita.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44I wanted to see this in the light.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46It's a lidded vessel
0:25:46 > 0:25:52which would have been used to hold the host during Mass.
0:25:52 > 0:25:58Now, it has a price of £10 on it,
0:25:58 > 0:26:04but what I thought when I handled it was, "Is this silver?
0:26:04 > 0:26:06"Is this silver and not silver plate?"
0:26:06 > 0:26:11When I look at the top of it and apply a wee bit of pressure,
0:26:11 > 0:26:13I've got some give there
0:26:13 > 0:26:17and that's indicating that it is a softer metal.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21Now, silver plate would be a harder metal than that.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Its official name is a ciborium
0:26:24 > 0:26:28and it also has markings, which are Continental and complicated.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Now, if this was silver plate,
0:26:30 > 0:26:34both pieces would not have been hallmarked like that.
0:26:34 > 0:26:39So that's giving me another indication that it may be silver.
0:26:39 > 0:26:40This might be the Holy Grail!
0:26:40 > 0:26:44Now, that really would be something, wouldn't it?
0:26:44 > 0:26:46- So, £10 on that.- Yes.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48That's great.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52So, for just £10, Anita has bought an ecclesiastical vessel
0:26:52 > 0:26:55that she believes to be made of solid silver.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00Meanwhile, our other little cherub, choirboy David,
0:27:00 > 0:27:04has driven east to the picturesque village of Thornton Le Dale.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10He's got one more shot to spend his remaining £41
0:27:10 > 0:27:14and he's meeting manager and dealer Jan. Hi, Jan!
0:27:14 > 0:27:16What about...
0:27:16 > 0:27:21- This is a different, quirky item. - Is it a watering can?- No, it's not.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23What is it?
0:27:23 > 0:27:29It's from a railway and they used it for flares in emergencies.
0:27:29 > 0:27:34- No! So, what's it fired by? - Either kerosene or paraffin.- Right.
0:27:34 > 0:27:40- It would be dropped on the line. - It would be like a Roman torch.
0:27:40 > 0:27:45In a line so that, in emergencies, they could see what was going on.
0:27:45 > 0:27:46My goodness me!
0:27:46 > 0:27:50Emergencies could be anything from heavy fog to signal failure.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54So, date wise, are we thinking early part of the 20th century
0:27:54 > 0:27:57- or even earlier?- Even earlier, actually, I think.- Right!
0:27:57 > 0:27:58OK, its ticket price is £30
0:27:58 > 0:28:02and it's not the only piece of railway interest.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05- Just one more piece of railwayana as well.- Blinking hell!
0:28:05 > 0:28:09- A gear lever.- What's all this with you and railwayana?
0:28:09 > 0:28:12You do not look like someone who is a train spotter!
0:28:12 > 0:28:15- I'm not a- train spotter! Are you not?- No, definitely not.
0:28:15 > 0:28:23- OK, so this is a gear lever of some disruption.- Right.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26It comes from sort of the tender, engine box.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29- Actually, is it very heavy? - It is very heavy, yes.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33- It's made of cast iron.- Let's have a look at it. Oh, gosh, yes!
0:28:33 > 0:28:37And when you say a tender box, it actually would be on the train?
0:28:37 > 0:28:42- On the train itself. - I love that, I absolutely love that.
0:28:42 > 0:28:48Its price is £35, but can Jan do a deal on the lever and the flare lamp?
0:28:48 > 0:28:50What's your offer, David?
0:28:50 > 0:28:53- Do you want all my money?- I want all your money.- You got it, baby.- OK.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58Technically, he's still got 46p,
0:28:58 > 0:29:02but that discount means David is now the proud owner
0:29:02 > 0:29:05of two pieces of railway interest.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07He's spent a total of £166
0:29:07 > 0:29:12and also picked up the police fingerprinting table,
0:29:12 > 0:29:15his 1940s letterbox,
0:29:15 > 0:29:18the Chinese ginger jar
0:29:18 > 0:29:20and the 1920s drop end settee.
0:29:22 > 0:29:26Anita has spent just £83 on her five lots,
0:29:26 > 0:29:30purchasing two sets of condiments, a 1950s brooch,
0:29:30 > 0:29:37a collection of Mauchline treen boxes, a 1960s Italian glass vase
0:29:37 > 0:29:42and a white metal cyborium with gilt interior.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45So, what do they think of each other's items?
0:29:45 > 0:29:49I mean, the condiment sets, oh, my gosh,
0:29:49 > 0:29:51they are diabolical beyond belief!
0:29:51 > 0:29:54They have no age whatsoever
0:29:54 > 0:29:58and need to be chucked in the nearest bin possible.
0:29:58 > 0:30:03What he's done with the flare lamp and that other bit of old iron,
0:30:03 > 0:30:06is he has bought definitely the weird!
0:30:06 > 0:30:09Somebody might fall in love with it, but, to me,
0:30:09 > 0:30:13it's just another big lump of old iron.
0:30:13 > 0:30:17Anita and David are travelling south again to an auction
0:30:17 > 0:30:19in the historic spa town of Harrogate,

0:31:07 > 0:31:10but cheap items, I'm afraid.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13They're not going to do a right lot of money at all.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16The letterbox is a very rare find, is that, and I think

0:40:58 > 0:41:02Profits all over the place! What a feeling, eh?
0:41:02 > 0:41:05It's certainly too close to call.

0:41:44 > 0:41:45It's still a profit.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48It's small, but it's still a profit.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51What an incredible auction with no losses!
0:41:51 > 0:41:54Now, that makes a change, doesn't it?
0:41:54 > 0:41:58David, that was absolutely fabulous!
0:41:58 > 0:42:01What are we going to do now?
0:42:01 > 0:42:02We're going to forget about cups of tea,
0:42:02 > 0:42:06- let's go straight for the champagne! - You are my kind of girl!
0:42:08 > 0:42:10Well, before we go popping any corks,
0:42:10 > 0:42:12let's find out who came out on top.
0:42:12 > 0:42:16Anita started this leg with £192.14.
0:42:16 > 0:42:22After auction costs, she made a profit of £126.51,
0:42:22 > 0:42:27leaving her with £318.65 to spend next time.
0:42:27 > 0:42:31David, however, emerges victorious this week.
0:42:31 > 0:42:35He started off with £166.46.
0:42:35 > 0:42:41After auction costs, he's made a whopping profit of £219.40
0:42:41 > 0:42:46so takes forward £385.86 to the following leg.
0:42:48 > 0:42:52- Go on, you. - You're such a sweetie!- In you go!
0:42:53 > 0:42:55- Right, are you in?- Yep.
0:42:55 > 0:43:00What an amazing day it's been! So, cheerio, chaps!
0:43:00 > 0:43:06Next time on Antiques Road Trip, Anita considers other career options.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09SHE BLOWS A RASPING NOTE
0:43:09 > 0:43:12Whilst David takes a leaf out of his competitor's book.
0:43:12 > 0:43:15I am desperate to buy it if it's cheap.
