0:00:02 > 0:00:05- It's the nation's favourite antiques experts...- I don't know what to do.

0:00:05 > 0:00:11..with £200 each, a classic car and a goal to scour Britain for antiques.

0:00:11 > 0:00:13- What a little diamond.- The aim?

0:00:13 > 0:00:17To make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat.

0:00:17 > 0:00:20- Back in the game! Charlie! - THEY LAUGH

0:00:20 > 0:00:22There'll be worthy winners

0:00:22 > 0:00:24and valiant losers. SHE GASPS

0:00:24 > 0:00:29- So, will it be the high road to glory or the slow road to disaster?- Oh!

0:00:29 > 0:00:31This is the Antiques Road Trip.

0:00:34 > 0:00:35Yeah!

0:00:39 > 0:00:42It's the third leg of the road trip

0:00:42 > 0:00:46for David Harper and our canny Scottish lassie, Anita Manning.

0:00:46 > 0:00:49We're going north, Anita, we're going north!

0:00:49 > 0:00:52- Isn't that the pleasure of this trip?- I know.- Isn't it?

0:00:52 > 0:00:55Seeing all these different landscapes.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57Buying a load of old iron as well whilst doing it.

0:00:57 > 0:01:01- Look, an iron bridge!- An iron bridge!- Great! Don't you love it?

0:01:01 > 0:01:06- I could flog that dead easy. - He probably could as well,

0:01:06 > 0:01:08for dealer David's got a knack

0:01:08 > 0:01:13- of finding the golden dust in a bit of old rust.- It is fabulous.

0:01:13 > 0:01:19And do you know what, Tony? I am desperate to buy it if it's cheap.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23His partner in crime, auctioneer Anita,

0:01:23 > 0:01:26has decades of antiquing under her belt,

0:01:26 > 0:01:28though she's not one to blow her own trumpet.

0:01:28 > 0:01:32SHE BLOWS BRASS INSTRUMENT

0:01:33 > 0:01:38- Do you think they'd let me into The Boys Brigade?- Er, I don't think so.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43Anita and David are still eating up the miles, though,

0:01:43 > 0:01:47in this positively delectable 1965 Morris Minor convertible.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50Their last auction was a rip-roaring success

0:01:50 > 0:01:53with both of them making whopping great profits.

0:01:53 > 0:01:54- Yes!- Get in there!

0:01:54 > 0:01:56- Oh!- Oh!

0:01:56 > 0:01:58- Number nine.- Oh!

0:01:58 > 0:01:59Bravo, chaps.

0:01:59 > 0:02:04Our two expert treasure hunters started the trip with £200.

0:02:04 > 0:02:08Anita now has £318.65 to spend.

0:02:08 > 0:02:15David, meanwhile, has taken the lead with £385.86 for this leg.

0:02:15 > 0:02:20- Hey, I tell you what, have we got some money to spend or what?- Yes!

0:02:20 > 0:02:23- Crikey.- We've got tons of dosh. - I know.- Tons of dosh.

0:02:23 > 0:02:27I'm looking forward to seeing what takes your fancy, Mrs.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30- Well, it won't be those bright red trousers.- Oh, stop lying.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32They're the same colour as my nail varnish!

0:02:32 > 0:02:35Otherwise known as "shocking" red.

0:02:38 > 0:02:41David and Anita are travelling over 700 miles

0:02:41 > 0:02:45from Ramsbottom, Lancashire, snaking their way up through Yorkshire,

0:02:45 > 0:02:48all the way to bonny Scotland and the town of Paisley.

0:02:49 > 0:02:53Our journey commences today in Chester-le-Street, County Durham,

0:02:53 > 0:02:56ending up at an auction in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

0:02:58 > 0:03:02- I always aim to please. - Oh, and you do. You never fail.

0:03:02 > 0:03:07- Right, have a great day. - OK. David, spend, spend, spend.

0:03:07 > 0:03:11- Don't you worry about that. See you soon.- Bye.- Bye-bye.

0:03:11 > 0:03:15Anita is dropping David off at his first shop of the day.

0:03:15 > 0:03:19Crikey, those trousers really ARE bright. And tight.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22Now she's tootling just 20 miles south

0:03:22 > 0:03:24to the village of St Helen Auckland,

0:03:24 > 0:03:27where she's catching up with her old pal, Yvonne.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30- Yvonne!- Oh, Anita, lovely to see you.

0:03:30 > 0:03:34Lovely to be back to this wonderful treasure chest.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37They really are happy to be reunited.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40YVONNE BLOWS INSTRUMENT

0:03:40 > 0:03:43- Wow, I did not do that! - You're good at that.

0:03:43 > 0:03:47- Right, OK, hang on a wee second till I get the...- The tone.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49SHE PLAYS ACCORDION

0:03:49 > 0:03:51I think that might take more than a second, Anita.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53Perhaps stick to shopping?

0:04:01 > 0:04:03Not THAT type of shopping.

0:04:09 > 0:04:13Bright pillar-box red handbag.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17Just the type of thing that would go with David's trousers.

0:04:17 > 0:04:19Oh, please don't encourage him.

0:04:19 > 0:04:23Distractions over, Anita soon spots something she likes.

0:04:23 > 0:04:27- Can I see your scent bottle? - You can indeed.- Is the top silver?

0:04:27 > 0:04:29Yes, hallmarked.

0:04:30 > 0:04:34- Right. I love these things.- I do. - I love them as well.

0:04:34 > 0:04:37There's no damage on the cut crystal.

0:04:37 > 0:04:41- And when you think of the amount of work that was done...- Yeah, amazing.

0:04:41 > 0:04:47..to cut all that into all these little triangles, squares and so on.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50And I've got that nice quality polished base.

0:04:51 > 0:04:56The only thing that I'm worried about in that, Yvonne, is...

0:04:58 > 0:05:01- ..the fact that we don't have the stopper.- I know, I know.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04The missing stopper will reduce the value,

0:05:04 > 0:05:07but I dare say Anita will use that to her advantage.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10Ticket price is £60.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13What's the very best you can do on that, Yvonne?

0:05:13 > 0:05:16- To you, the very, very... - The very, very best.

0:05:16 > 0:05:19And taking into consideration

0:05:19 > 0:05:23that we've got that very important part missing.

0:05:23 > 0:05:24Yeah. What about £45?

0:05:25 > 0:05:30- What I'm looking at is round about the £30.- Mmm. If we said £35.- £35?

0:05:30 > 0:05:34- Would that be...? Yeah.- Let's go for that.- Yeah.- That's great.- Excellent.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36- Thank you very much. - Thank you, Anita.

0:05:36 > 0:05:40Generous discount of nearly 50% off.

0:05:42 > 0:05:46David, meanwhile, is starting his morning in Chester-le-Street,

0:05:46 > 0:05:48where he's meeting dealer Colin.

0:05:48 > 0:05:52It's just an Aladdin's cave. It's an adventure.

0:05:52 > 0:05:57Soon enough, David's eye is drawn to a Mouseman cheeseboard.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01It's very simple stuff, isn't it?

0:06:01 > 0:06:05But aged oak and they store the oak outside the factory premises

0:06:05 > 0:06:10- for 10 or 14 years, I believe, until it's just right to be cut.- Right.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13And then they cut it and they use that tool - is it an adze?

0:06:13 > 0:06:17You know, the che-che - that, almost like a medieval tool,

0:06:17 > 0:06:19so the surfaces are never perfectly flat, are they?

0:06:19 > 0:06:24They've got that kind of wavy finish to them. And the old mouse there.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27Each Mouseman piece has a mouse carved on it

0:06:27 > 0:06:32which slightly varies depending on which craftsman was doing the work.

0:06:32 > 0:06:36The company was founded by Robert Thompson in the early 20th century

0:06:36 > 0:06:39- and is still running today. - OK, what about that baby there?

0:06:39 > 0:06:42- Is that Mousey?- Yep, same again.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45- Let's have a look.- There we go.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47OK, so this is a different animal altogether, isn't it?

0:06:47 > 0:06:53This is the cow stool. Tripod with that facetted leg, all hand-cut.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56When you look closely at these things, people would criticise them

0:06:56 > 0:06:59because they're just off-centre and a little bit rough in places.

0:06:59 > 0:07:01- It's cos it's handmade, isn't it?- Yeah.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04They are different, aren't they?

0:07:04 > 0:07:07This one's got more of a domed back, a bit fatter.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09And, apparently, there's a story

0:07:09 > 0:07:12behind how these mice came to be carved in the first place.

0:07:12 > 0:07:16These guys were moaning that they weren't getting paid much

0:07:16 > 0:07:18by Yorkshireman Robert Mousey Thompson

0:07:18 > 0:07:20and as they were moaning about it,

0:07:20 > 0:07:23this little mouse scurried across the church floor

0:07:23 > 0:07:26and one of them said to the other, "Look at that.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29"Here we are in a church and we're as poor as church mice."

0:07:29 > 0:07:34And from that day on, they started carving mice onto the furniture.

0:07:34 > 0:07:38The combined ticket price of the two items is £210.

0:07:38 > 0:07:43- I'd stand a chance if that was £160 for the pair.- How much?- £160.

0:07:46 > 0:07:51- I cannot. Go on, try a bit harder. - I'll try a bit harder.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53£170 and I'm done.

0:07:56 > 0:07:57- Thank you very much.- Thank you.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00Well, that's a very generous discount.

0:08:00 > 0:08:04It works out at £110 for the stool and £60 for the cheeseboard.

0:08:04 > 0:08:08Back with Anita and she's found something a little bit festive.

0:08:08 > 0:08:12Another thing that I was looking at, which I thought was quite fun...

0:08:12 > 0:08:15- Yes.- These old Christmas card printing blocks.- Yeah.

0:08:15 > 0:08:19- I thought they were good.- They're really nice, aren't they?- Uh-huh.

0:08:19 > 0:08:23What I kind of like about them is, although they're not old -

0:08:23 > 0:08:25they're not Victorian, Edwardian

0:08:25 > 0:08:28or even probably the first part of the 20th century -

0:08:28 > 0:08:30- they're kind of soppy.- Yeah.

0:08:30 > 0:08:35- You know, that kind of old-fashioned Merry Christmas type of thing.- Yeah.

0:08:35 > 0:08:37And I think it's the type of thing

0:08:37 > 0:08:39that people could have good fun with.

0:08:39 > 0:08:43- Yeah.- You know, they could make their own vintage Christmas cards.

0:08:43 > 0:08:48- Mmm-hmm.- Is there more printing stuff?- There's those as well, Anita.

0:08:48 > 0:08:52- There.- Oh, right.- I think they're numbers as well.- Right. These are...

0:08:53 > 0:08:58- These are numbers.- Mmm-hmm. - Oh, look, that's for money.- Yeah.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01See all these together - who's going to want them except me?

0:09:01 > 0:09:03THEY LAUGH

0:09:03 > 0:09:07- Craft people.- Craft people. That's right, craft people.

0:09:07 > 0:09:12Er... Are these throwaway dead...dead cheap?

0:09:14 > 0:09:17The printing blocks are priced at £22.

0:09:19 > 0:09:23- I'll do them at £20 for the lot. - For the lot?

0:09:23 > 0:09:27- Could you do them all for a tenner?- Oh, Anita!

0:09:27 > 0:09:29- ANITA LAUGHS - That is so hard.

0:09:29 > 0:09:32They're just daft things but I like them.

0:09:32 > 0:09:35I tell you what I'll do, I'll do them for £15.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38- You'll do them for £15?- Yeah. - Let's go for it.- Yeah.

0:09:38 > 0:09:43Another cracking buy, but there's still time for one more item.

0:09:44 > 0:09:47Er, I think it's German. I think it probably is German.

0:09:47 > 0:09:51Er, it has an Art Nouveau look about it.

0:09:51 > 0:09:54- It's got a bit of a mixture of styles.- Yeah.

0:09:54 > 0:09:55But I kind of like this crazy thing.

0:09:55 > 0:10:00- It's almost like a crab or a sea creature or something.- Oh, yes.

0:10:00 > 0:10:03And you've got these wee cherubs.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06It's a continental Art Nouveau porcelain mantle clock

0:10:06 > 0:10:09with a ticket price of £48.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11- I don't like it.- Nor do I.

0:10:11 > 0:10:14- Do you not?- I don't know why.- I do!

0:10:14 > 0:10:19- I mean, how much do you not like it? - A lot!- A lot!- She's right.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22No prizes in guessing where THIS conversation's going.

0:10:22 > 0:10:27Why don't you give it a throwaway price,

0:10:27 > 0:10:33- so that I can take this out of your life for ever.- Yeah, for ever.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35It definitely won't be coming back?

0:10:35 > 0:10:37It won't be coming back, it won't be coming back.

0:10:37 > 0:10:42- I'm going to give you a one-off price...- A one-off price?

0:10:42 > 0:10:45..today, which is a tenner.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49- Wonderful! - YVONNE LAUGHS

0:10:49 > 0:10:51Boys, you're coming home with me!

0:10:53 > 0:10:56Well, they're going to the auction. Put it there.

0:10:56 > 0:10:59- I've got three items and I'm delighted with them all.- Excellent.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01I'm not surprised.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04Anita's bought three cracking pieces for just £60.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10David, meanwhile, has spotted something a bit unusual.

0:11:11 > 0:11:16Right, what have we got in here of interest? What on earth is that?

0:11:16 > 0:11:19- Can I dive in there?- You can. - Is that a...?- There you are.

0:11:19 > 0:11:22- It's a cigarette lighter. - It's a what?!

0:11:23 > 0:11:26- It's a what?- A cigarette lighter. - Oh, I see.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29Why on earth do you make a bike...? It's a novelty cigarette lighter.

0:11:29 > 0:11:32- Yeah.- Replica of a...

0:11:32 > 0:11:36It reminds me of my ten-speed racer when I was a young boy.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39Not long ago. Ticket price for this fun little piece is £25.

0:11:39 > 0:11:44You've got wheels that turn, brakes that work... That's ridiculous!

0:11:44 > 0:11:48A chain that... I can't believe that's a funct...

0:11:48 > 0:11:51- You could get on that and ride off! - THEY LAUGH

0:11:51 > 0:11:54Is that cheap? It's a fun thing.

0:11:54 > 0:11:56- Yeah.- Is it cheap?- Yeah, it's cheap.

0:11:56 > 0:12:01- Well, I think £20 and that is cheap for that.- £20?

0:12:01 > 0:12:04- Will you take £15?- Yeah.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08Thank you very much. Marvellous! Purchase number three.

0:12:08 > 0:12:10- You're brilliant.- Marvellous indeed.

0:12:10 > 0:12:15That's one shop down and three items in the bag for £185.

0:12:17 > 0:12:20Anita is now travelling over 25 miles east

0:12:20 > 0:12:22to the coastal town of Hartlepool.

0:12:22 > 0:12:26In the 19th century, Hartlepool was an important ship-building port.

0:12:26 > 0:12:30Sadly, this industry caused the town to be the target

0:12:30 > 0:12:32of a horrific attack by the German navy

0:12:32 > 0:12:35at the beginning of the First World War.

0:12:35 > 0:12:37Anita is here to learn more

0:12:37 > 0:12:40about this momentous day from curator Mark.

0:12:40 > 0:12:43Do you know, it's so peaceful here today,

0:12:43 > 0:12:47but I believe at the beginning of the First World War,

0:12:47 > 0:12:49really a lot happened.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52Yeah, if you were standing here 100 years ago,

0:12:52 > 0:12:54all hell was breaking loose around you,

0:12:54 > 0:12:57as shells from three German warships

0:12:57 > 0:13:00bombarded the town of Hartlepool and West Hartlepool.

0:13:00 > 0:13:03On 16th December, 1914,

0:13:03 > 0:13:07the war, that was seemingly being fought hundreds of miles away,

0:13:07 > 0:13:11came to the doorsteps of the working-class people of Hartlepool.

0:13:11 > 0:13:15This shock attack was the first of its kind on British soil

0:13:15 > 0:13:19and claimed the lives of 130 people.

0:13:19 > 0:13:22Over 500 more were injured. Wow.

0:13:22 > 0:13:25Local people had absolutely no idea.

0:13:25 > 0:13:28They're sitting eating their breakfast in the houses behind us,

0:13:28 > 0:13:31going to school, getting ready to go to work

0:13:31 > 0:13:34and then, suddenly, the shells start coming

0:13:34 > 0:13:37and the sound of thunder out to sea.

0:13:37 > 0:13:40Huge German 11-inch shells start falling on the town in huge numbers.

0:13:40 > 0:13:46- Something like 1,500 shells in about 40 minutes.- Out there?

0:13:46 > 0:13:50Yes, from just behind us here, out in the sea here,

0:13:50 > 0:13:52coming in from the mist.

0:13:52 > 0:13:56No public warnings of the attack came until it was too late.

0:13:56 > 0:14:00The few Royal Navy ships from Hartlepool responded to the attack,

0:14:00 > 0:14:02but were vastly outnumbered.

0:14:02 > 0:14:06By the time more help arrived, the Germans had scooted.

0:14:06 > 0:14:09Scarborough and Whitby were also hit

0:14:09 > 0:14:11but Hartlepool suffered the most damage.

0:14:11 > 0:14:16Inside Hartlepool Maritime Museum, Mark has some interesting artefacts,

0:14:16 > 0:14:19including some shrapnel from the attack, to show Anita.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22These are travelling at hundreds and hundreds of miles an hour -

0:14:22 > 0:14:25in some cases, faster than the speed of sound.

0:14:25 > 0:14:30So you can imagine, when the shells are exploding, there's no warning

0:14:30 > 0:14:33and it just takes a building and turns it into matchsticks.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38The devastation at the time was unimaginable,

0:14:38 > 0:14:41as people's everyday lives were suddenly turned upside down

0:14:41 > 0:14:43by the onslaught.

0:14:43 > 0:14:49So, this is the bombardment clock from Collingwood Road,

0:14:49 > 0:14:52where a family hear the shells...

0:14:52 > 0:14:55The shells are coming down, so they run out into the street

0:14:55 > 0:14:58and a shell hits the back of their house and completely demolishes it.

0:14:59 > 0:15:03The family discover the shrapnel-riddled alarm clock

0:15:03 > 0:15:04in the rubble of the house.

0:15:04 > 0:15:07It had stopped at the exact time the bombardment started.

0:15:07 > 0:15:10But look closely. Where's the alarm clock made?

0:15:10 > 0:15:13- "Made in Germany." Oh! - It's a German import.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19It sounds like a day out of hell.

0:15:19 > 0:15:22But tell me about the ordinary man, the ordinary woman,

0:15:22 > 0:15:24the ordinary family on that terrible morning.

0:15:24 > 0:15:28People thought that the Germans were invading

0:15:28 > 0:15:33and went either to find out what was going on or went to try to get help.

0:15:33 > 0:15:36A lot of the people who were killed and wounded

0:15:36 > 0:15:38were injured by shells exploding,

0:15:38 > 0:15:41hitting the streets and being outside.

0:15:41 > 0:15:43People panicked

0:15:43 > 0:15:46and collected their families and their worldly possessions

0:15:46 > 0:15:48and tried to run off into the countryside.

0:15:48 > 0:15:52These were the first German attacks of this magnitude to strike the UK

0:15:52 > 0:15:57and, as such, resulted in the first civilian and military casualties

0:15:57 > 0:16:00of the First World war on British soil.

0:16:00 > 0:16:05Mark, you have painted me a terrifying picture

0:16:05 > 0:16:09of what happened to Hartlepool on that fateful morning.

0:16:09 > 0:16:13But what effect did it have on the people of Hartlepool?

0:16:13 > 0:16:17Anger and fear to start with.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20And then they turned their anger over

0:16:20 > 0:16:25into wanting to do something about it. What do you do?

0:16:25 > 0:16:29So, you join the army, you go to work in the munitions factories,

0:16:29 > 0:16:33making shells in buildings like the one we're standing in now.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35The events of that day changed the lives

0:16:35 > 0:16:37of the people of Hartlepool forever.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40Ultimately, though, the community rallied together.

0:16:40 > 0:16:4422,000 people volunteered for the armed forces.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47Even more impressive, they raised the modern equivalent

0:16:47 > 0:16:50of over half a billion pounds for the war effort -

0:16:50 > 0:16:54an incredible figure for such a small working-class community.

0:16:54 > 0:16:57Over 800 buildings were damaged during the attack

0:16:57 > 0:17:01and it took over a decade to restore Hartlepool to its former glory.

0:17:03 > 0:17:06David is now heading south to Darlington,

0:17:06 > 0:17:08a town said to be the birthplace

0:17:08 > 0:17:11of the world's first public steam-powered railway.

0:17:13 > 0:17:16He's hot to shop, with just over £200 to spend.

0:17:16 > 0:17:19- Hello, Tony.- Hello.

0:17:19 > 0:17:20- Good to see you.- And again.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23Very good to see you. I'm loving those glasses!

0:17:26 > 0:17:29After a quick mooch downstairs,

0:17:29 > 0:17:33Tony's got an item he thinks David will like the look of upstairs.

0:17:33 > 0:17:37- Now then. It's a little bit industrial here.- Oh.

0:17:37 > 0:17:41- Um, be careful, it's fairly heavy. - Oh, yeah.

0:17:41 > 0:17:43And watch those trousers as well.

0:17:43 > 0:17:46Why, what's it going to do? Grab them?

0:17:46 > 0:17:48- It'll be fairly rusty.- OK.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51It's an early 20th-century cast-iron hay grabber

0:17:51 > 0:17:55and, more importantly for David, a good chunk of metal.

0:17:55 > 0:17:59Oh, there's the mechanism. There's your gear thing, switch that.

0:17:59 > 0:18:04- Yeah, that's it.- Oh, I see, I see. So, that goes onto the hay?- Yeah.

0:18:04 > 0:18:07- It grabs it...- Grabs it. - Locks in...- Locks in.

0:18:07 > 0:18:10- And then lifts the hay bale. - That's right.

0:18:10 > 0:18:14And that's your support there, all for your chains

0:18:14 > 0:18:18and the thing just goes up, away and then down again...

0:18:19 > 0:18:21I hope you followed that.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25Now, I remember... You'll remember this.

0:18:25 > 0:18:28- In 1895, when we used to work in the fields...- Yes.

0:18:28 > 0:18:30..doing these by hand.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33- Do you remember them, Tony, those days?- David, I do, yes.

0:18:33 > 0:18:37You must remember, I put the first coat of primer on the Ark.

0:18:37 > 0:18:41THEY LAUGH

0:18:41 > 0:18:44Just like watching The Two Ronnies, isn't it?

0:18:44 > 0:18:49I mean, it is fabulous and do you know what, Tony?

0:18:49 > 0:18:53- I am desperate to buy it if it's cheap.- I tell you what we'll do...

0:18:55 > 0:18:57A tenner. £10.

0:18:59 > 0:19:0310 quid. Thank you very much. That is not worth negotiating over.

0:19:03 > 0:19:08That's a bargain and Anita Manning is going to be so jealous

0:19:08 > 0:19:12because she loves all my bits of any old iron.

0:19:12 > 0:19:14He sure spent big earlier,

0:19:14 > 0:19:18but this last £10-buy marks the end of the first day's shopping.

0:19:20 > 0:19:25Time for some much-needed shuteye for our dazzling duo. Night-night.

0:19:28 > 0:19:31MUSIC: I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside

0:19:31 > 0:19:33A new day has dawned and today,

0:19:33 > 0:19:36they're starting out beside the seaside.

0:19:37 > 0:19:42David, isn't that wonderful? Look at the sea, the wonderful North Sea.

0:19:42 > 0:19:46And we're in Whitby, one of the most delightful little seaside towns

0:19:46 > 0:19:48- in the north of England. - It's gorgeous.

0:19:48 > 0:19:52And I'm so excited, I want to swim in the sea.

0:19:52 > 0:19:55Hmm, look out. You'd regret THAT pretty quickly.

0:19:56 > 0:20:00Yesterday, big kid Anita bought some printing blocks,

0:20:00 > 0:20:04a cut-glass crystal scent bottle with silver embossed top

0:20:04 > 0:20:07and an Art Nouveau mantle clock.

0:20:07 > 0:20:11Today, she has £258.65 left to spend.

0:20:11 > 0:20:16David's spent a big chunk of his money buying four items -

0:20:16 > 0:20:19a Mouseman cheeseboard and milking stool,

0:20:19 > 0:20:23a novelty racing bike lighter and an early 20th-century hay grabber,

0:20:23 > 0:20:27leaving him with just over £190 for today's shopping.

0:20:29 > 0:20:32Anita and David have travelled to the seaside town of Whitby,

0:20:32 > 0:20:35a place that has a long history of maritime importance.

0:20:35 > 0:20:39It was here that explorer Captain Cook learned seamanship.

0:20:42 > 0:20:46- There you go, madam. - There we are, down there.

0:20:46 > 0:20:49- Delivered right to the door, just about.- Ah.

0:20:49 > 0:20:51- Well, you're keen to get out.- Yeah.

0:20:51 > 0:20:53You almost flung yourself out the door!

0:20:53 > 0:20:55Is it the effect I have on women or something?

0:20:55 > 0:20:59- I'm looking forward to shopping. - Yeah, bye.- Bye.

0:20:59 > 0:21:03And so she should be, as her first shop of the day is The Bazaar,

0:21:03 > 0:21:07packed full of interesting artefacts to get excited over.

0:21:11 > 0:21:13There to help her is dealer Frank.

0:21:13 > 0:21:19Frank, could I ask you about this little tea set

0:21:19 > 0:21:21or party set over here?

0:21:22 > 0:21:25- Oh, that, yes.- I quite like that.

0:21:25 > 0:21:29It's part of a tea set, Royal Crown Derby,

0:21:29 > 0:21:33- in that wonderful imari pattern. - Yes.

0:21:33 > 0:21:36And this imari pattern is taken from the oriental,

0:21:36 > 0:21:39with these wonderful...the blues,

0:21:39 > 0:21:42the rust-reds and golds and I like that.

0:21:44 > 0:21:46There seem to be some flaws though.

0:21:47 > 0:21:51I think that this is probably unassociated with it.

0:21:51 > 0:21:54- What, the plate?- The plate, yeah. - Yeah, that's...

0:21:54 > 0:21:56It's a different mark, so it's been brought...

0:21:56 > 0:22:00- Bits have been brought together. - Yes.- Uh-huh. And we've got a damage.

0:22:01 > 0:22:05- Damage?- Or a repair.- Are you sure? - Uh-huh, I think that's a repair.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08Oh, yeah, that's a repair, yeah. I didn't notice that.

0:22:08 > 0:22:12- Has that been there for a long time? - Er, I shouldn't say, but it has.- Oh.

0:22:12 > 0:22:15THEY LAUGH

0:22:15 > 0:22:18The item is priced at £150.

0:22:18 > 0:22:21So, what was you thinking of offering?

0:22:21 > 0:22:25- I'd be looking for round about £50. - Pounds.

0:22:26 > 0:22:29I tell you what. I could have a deal.

0:22:29 > 0:22:31How about £70? Would that be any good?

0:22:31 > 0:22:35- £70?- Yeah. - Could you come to maybe £60 on it?

0:22:36 > 0:22:39- Is that possible?- Well, it's been here for a...for a long time, so...

0:22:39 > 0:22:41Has it been here for a long time?

0:22:41 > 0:22:46- It's a long time, yeah, so I'll have a deal with you. £60.- At £60?- Yeah.

0:22:46 > 0:22:49- That's wonderful. Thank you very much.- OK.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52- That's wonderful, thank you. - That's an amazing discount.

0:22:52 > 0:22:58So, for £60, Anita is now the proud owner of a Derby part-tea set.

0:22:58 > 0:23:02David is also in Whitby, where the notoriously dangerous coastline

0:23:02 > 0:23:05saw one of the biggest shipping disasters

0:23:05 > 0:23:08in the history of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution.

0:23:08 > 0:23:12This even went on to prompt a rethink

0:23:12 > 0:23:16on how the RNLI functioned in UK waters.

0:23:16 > 0:23:18He's visiting the Whitby Lifeboat Museum

0:23:18 > 0:23:21to learn more about that fateful day

0:23:21 > 0:23:24from curator and retired coxswain Pete Thomson.

0:23:24 > 0:23:27That's a fine model of a ship, Pete. What are we looking at?

0:23:27 > 0:23:29This is the famous Rohilla.

0:23:29 > 0:23:33She was a hospital ship with 229 people on board.

0:23:33 > 0:23:37It was bound for Dunkirk to pick up wounded soldiers,

0:23:37 > 0:23:40basically from the front in the First World War.

0:23:41 > 0:23:45The people on board were mostly medical staff and the ship's crew.

0:23:45 > 0:23:50Sadly, though, the Rohilla never made its final destination,

0:23:50 > 0:23:53as, struck by a huge storm, it was swept off course.

0:23:55 > 0:23:57As a result of the German naval attack

0:23:57 > 0:24:01that Anita learned about yesterday, there was a coastal blackout

0:24:01 > 0:24:07and the ship ran onto a mile-long rock known as the Whitby Scar.

0:24:07 > 0:24:10The impact split the vessel into three parts.

0:24:11 > 0:24:16That would be the first notification that there was a ship ashore

0:24:16 > 0:24:19and that's the way the rest of the town would find out.

0:24:19 > 0:24:20The dangerous state of the seas

0:24:20 > 0:24:25meant that the lifeboat couldn't leave from its normal launch site,

0:24:25 > 0:24:28so the volunteer crews had to move the boat

0:24:28 > 0:24:31to a safer location position opposite the wreck.

0:24:31 > 0:24:35This involved lifting the lifeboat over an eight-foot wall

0:24:35 > 0:24:37and then carrying it another quarter of a mile.

0:24:40 > 0:24:44She was dragged by several hundred people.

0:24:44 > 0:24:48It was damaged in the process of this,

0:24:48 > 0:24:52so it was damaged before it actually left the shore.

0:24:53 > 0:24:57Those waters must have been absolutely hell on Earth.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59I would imagine surf running in from the Rohilla

0:24:59 > 0:25:02would be anything like 12, 15 foot high,

0:25:02 > 0:25:07so this little boat trying to get out through these huge breakers

0:25:07 > 0:25:09to get alongside and rescue them

0:25:09 > 0:25:12must have been a fantastic feat in itself.

0:25:12 > 0:25:19It took off the first 17 people and landed them back through the waves.

0:25:19 > 0:25:24Into the surf for a second time, and a further 18 people were rescued.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27When she got back from that trip, after hitting the rocks,

0:25:27 > 0:25:31it was so badly damaged that it had to be abandoned

0:25:31 > 0:25:34and that's where we had to call for help from further stations.

0:25:35 > 0:25:38Three other lifeboats from neighbouring towns -

0:25:38 > 0:25:42one motorised - tried and failed to help.

0:25:42 > 0:25:45And were people stuck on the boat? Were they in the water?

0:25:45 > 0:25:46What was happening?

0:25:46 > 0:25:52No, the survivors would be mustered in around the wheelhouse.

0:25:52 > 0:25:56People were seen by the crowds on the cliff to be jumping into the sea

0:25:56 > 0:25:57and trying to swim for it.

0:25:57 > 0:26:02A lot were saved by Whitby people on the Scar itself,

0:26:02 > 0:26:06wading into the water and pulling them out. Many, many died.

0:26:08 > 0:26:12In desperation, they just jumped over into the water and that was it.

0:26:12 > 0:26:15Time was running out for the passengers.

0:26:15 > 0:26:18They were now entering their third day stranded

0:26:18 > 0:26:22and the storm was showing no signs of abating.

0:26:22 > 0:26:25Finally, a lifeboat from over 50 miles to the north

0:26:25 > 0:26:28- was called upon to assist. - And what happened next?

0:26:28 > 0:26:32The final thing was to try and get a motor lifeboat down from the Tyne.

0:26:32 > 0:26:36And they decided to sail through the night

0:26:36 > 0:26:40the 50-odd mile from the Tyne mouth down to Whitby,

0:26:40 > 0:26:44which they did through the full storm and everything went well.

0:26:44 > 0:26:49They took our second coxswain and he then acted as pilot.

0:26:49 > 0:26:53They went out through the storm, round to the wreck

0:26:53 > 0:26:56and managed to get the last 50 survivors.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58Until now, motorised lifeboats

0:26:58 > 0:27:01were in the very early stages of development

0:27:01 > 0:27:04- and were few and far between. - On this occasion,

0:27:04 > 0:27:08when everything failed with the rowing lifeboat

0:27:08 > 0:27:12and, of course, the motor one succeeded,

0:27:12 > 0:27:14then the RNLI quite rightly said,

0:27:14 > 0:27:16"Now is the time to put a motor lifeboat in Whitby."

0:27:16 > 0:27:19So, the disaster then was a catalyst for change.

0:27:19 > 0:27:21It was, and a big step,

0:27:21 > 0:27:24and the RNLI realised, and so did lifeboat men,

0:27:24 > 0:27:29that oars were no longer the ideal way for saving life.

0:27:29 > 0:27:32Many interesting artefacts were found at the time of the wreck

0:27:32 > 0:27:36but perhaps the most fascinating was discovered in 2014 -

0:27:36 > 0:27:38a trunk belonging to Mary Roberts,

0:27:38 > 0:27:41the only female stewardess on the Rohilla.

0:27:41 > 0:27:44She was no stranger to shipping disasters,

0:27:44 > 0:27:50having also survived the most famous shipwreck of all time - the Titanic.

0:27:50 > 0:27:52That's fantastic.

0:27:52 > 0:27:56So, 100 years, certainly to the year, the trunk comes back.

0:27:56 > 0:28:01- What a coincidence.- I don't know whether Mary was lucky or unlucky.

0:28:01 > 0:28:02What are your thoughts?

0:28:02 > 0:28:06Well, she has been known to have said that, of the two disasters,

0:28:06 > 0:28:09the Rohilla was the worst to experience

0:28:09 > 0:28:12because of the severity of the weather.

0:28:12 > 0:28:15Titanic was huge but it was flat calm.

0:28:15 > 0:28:19So, her experience of the Rohilla certainly stuck with her.

0:28:20 > 0:28:242014 marked the centenary of Rohilla's fateful journey,

0:28:24 > 0:28:26but the memory of that traumatic day

0:28:26 > 0:28:29and the courage of the people of Whitby

0:28:29 > 0:28:31and its surrounding towns lives on.

0:28:31 > 0:28:3684 people died on that ship, but over the course of three days,

0:28:36 > 0:28:41against all the odds, the RNLI managed to save 145 souls

0:28:41 > 0:28:44and their bravery was rewarded with the gold medal

0:28:44 > 0:28:46of the Royal National Lifeboat Institute,

0:28:46 > 0:28:48the highest honour of its kind.

0:28:51 > 0:28:53Anita is on her way, 20 miles down the coast,

0:28:53 > 0:28:56to another popular seaside resort, Scarborough.

0:28:56 > 0:28:58She's got just under £200 to spend

0:28:58 > 0:29:01at Scarborough Antique and Collectors Centre. There she goes.

0:29:01 > 0:29:05- Hi. I'm Anita. - Pleased to meet you. I'm Matt.

0:29:05 > 0:29:07Lovely. Lovely to be here.

0:29:07 > 0:29:12The shop is brimming with Anita's Achilles heel - jewellery.

0:29:12 > 0:29:14This may take some time.

0:29:14 > 0:29:16Is this the bargain box?

0:29:16 > 0:29:20Yeah, I suppose that's where we've put a lot of the reduced ones, yeah.

0:29:20 > 0:29:22Yeah, like music to your ears, eh, Anita?

0:29:22 > 0:29:25The brooches, silver and gold,

0:29:25 > 0:29:28- aren't worn as much as they used to be, so...- Yeah.

0:29:28 > 0:29:33- When they do come in, we'd rather not scrap them.- I know, I know.

0:29:33 > 0:29:37- Nice wee lot, here, of four.- Yeah.

0:29:37 > 0:29:41We've got the little blister pearl here and I like those.

0:29:41 > 0:29:43We've got this, it's a blue...

0:29:43 > 0:29:47- It's not a sapphire. I think it's just a blue gemstone here.- Right.

0:29:47 > 0:29:50Little gold one with the flower...

0:29:52 > 0:29:55..and this pearlized stone here.

0:29:55 > 0:30:01- Four of them, all nine-carat gold, in the bargain basement box.- Yeah.

0:30:01 > 0:30:05The combined ticket price for the four brooches is £80.

0:30:07 > 0:30:09I'd be looking to pay...

0:30:10 > 0:30:15..£35-40 as a wee group, taking all four of them,

0:30:15 > 0:30:18- so it's a kind of quick sale on four.- Right, I see.

0:30:18 > 0:30:22- Um...- Yeah...- Tell me how you feel about that.- Right.

0:30:22 > 0:30:25I mean, they're already in the bargain basement

0:30:25 > 0:30:27and I'm a bit of a tight Yorkshireman...

0:30:27 > 0:30:31Oh, hello, Yorkshire pot, meet Scottish kettle.

0:30:31 > 0:30:36- I could do them for £50, Anita.- £50? Could you take it to £40?

0:30:36 > 0:30:41- Could you take it to £40? - I...I think I could do £45 for you.

0:30:41 > 0:30:44You could do £45 on that? I think I'll go for that. That's lovely.

0:30:44 > 0:30:47- Thank you very much.- Thank you very much, Matt, that's wonderful.

0:30:47 > 0:30:51And with that, Anita has bought her final lot.

0:30:56 > 0:30:59David has travelled inland to the village of Sleights

0:30:59 > 0:31:00in the Esk Valley.

0:31:00 > 0:31:05He's visiting Eskdale Antiques, where he's meeting owner Philip.

0:31:05 > 0:31:08He's still got just over £190 left to spend

0:31:08 > 0:31:11and a whole host of interesting objects to choose here.

0:31:16 > 0:31:18Hmm.

0:31:19 > 0:31:22Little papier-mache 19th-century snuffbox here.

0:31:24 > 0:31:26Now, these things can be very ordinary, can't they,

0:31:26 > 0:31:32- and bought for a few pounds? - Sorry, who are you talking to, David?

0:31:32 > 0:31:34But I love this because of the doggy on there.

0:31:34 > 0:31:36What's all this about? What do you know about this one?

0:31:36 > 0:31:38Ah, Philip, hello!

0:31:38 > 0:31:41Nice little scene on the front - dog carrying its prey back, I think.

0:31:41 > 0:31:46Yeah, rabbit there, "To be delivered immediately" to its master.

0:31:46 > 0:31:51I love snuffboxes and I love the story behind snuff.

0:31:51 > 0:31:54In the 17th century, it was astonishingly expensive

0:31:54 > 0:31:56and people would have urns of snuff

0:31:56 > 0:32:01worth the equivalent of thousands of pounds and rooms locked,

0:32:01 > 0:32:04- didn't they, so people couldn't pinch the snuff?- Right.

0:32:04 > 0:32:07It's priced at £45.

0:32:08 > 0:32:14- OK, what's the trade on that? - Um, I can do £25 on that.- £25.

0:32:15 > 0:32:16Can we go £20?

0:32:17 > 0:32:22- Yeah, we can do £20.- Shall we do it? - That's fair, yeah.- Phil, thank you.

0:32:22 > 0:32:25So, for £20, David has bought a 19th-century snuffbox,

0:32:25 > 0:32:30making his total spend on this leg just £215.

0:32:30 > 0:32:34His other purchases are a Mouseman cheeseboard and milking stool,

0:32:34 > 0:32:36a vintage racing bike lighter

0:32:36 > 0:32:40and a 20th-century cast-iron hay grabber - as you do.

0:32:40 > 0:32:43Anita has spent £165.

0:32:43 > 0:32:46She bought some assorted printing blocks,

0:32:46 > 0:32:48a cut-crystal scent bottle,

0:32:48 > 0:32:50an Art Nouveau porcelain clock,

0:32:50 > 0:32:55a late 19th-century Derby part-tea set and four gold brooches.

0:32:57 > 0:32:58Their shopping is complete

0:32:58 > 0:33:02but what do they think of each other's purchases?

0:33:02 > 0:33:04The little bar brooches - they're not my cup of tea

0:33:04 > 0:33:09but she knows these things inside out. £45 purchase price.

0:33:09 > 0:33:13There's gold in there. I think she'll do pretty well.

0:33:13 > 0:33:16I love David's Mouseman items.

0:33:16 > 0:33:20The little cheeseboard is a sweetie

0:33:20 > 0:33:24and the stool - isn't that such a delight?

0:33:27 > 0:33:30Our jubilant duo are heading over 70 miles north

0:33:30 > 0:33:32to an auction in Newcastle.

0:33:32 > 0:33:34Well, David, we're in sunny Newcastle.

0:33:34 > 0:33:37- As we travel north... - It gets warmer.

0:33:37 > 0:33:41- ..the clouds are parting, the sun is shining.- Yes.

0:33:41 > 0:33:45- By the time we get to Scotland... - We'll be in our swimwear!

0:33:45 > 0:33:47- I'm hoping. - THEY LAUGH

0:33:47 > 0:33:52Oh, Lordy! Well, if ever there was a reason to stay south of the border...

0:33:53 > 0:33:54Good luck.

0:33:55 > 0:34:00There we go. And you can leap out...now.

0:34:00 > 0:34:02OK. Well done, David, well done.

0:34:02 > 0:34:07Our action today is taking place at Thomas Miller Auctioneers

0:34:07 > 0:34:11and wielding the all-important gavel this morning is Guy Macklam.

0:34:11 > 0:34:16I think the Mouseman items obviously stand out. They're always popular.

0:34:16 > 0:34:17You never struggle to do well

0:34:17 > 0:34:20with Mouseman furniture and collectables and things like that.

0:34:20 > 0:34:23Derby, synonymous with super quality,

0:34:23 > 0:34:26but I have to say, tea sets, dinner sets,

0:34:26 > 0:34:29even good quality, are not making a lot of money now,

0:34:29 > 0:34:32so you're probably looking at less than £50 for that lot, I'd think.

0:34:32 > 0:34:37The auction's about to commence. Those two are unusually silent.

0:34:37 > 0:34:42- Could it be jitters?- Are you nervous? - I am nervous.- Good, I like that.

0:34:42 > 0:34:44- You like that?- Yeah.

0:34:46 > 0:34:49First up, David's 19th-century snuffbox.

0:34:49 > 0:34:5120 is bid for it. Any advance on 20?

0:34:51 > 0:34:56- Come on.- 30. 35. 40. 45. - Yes, good boy!

0:34:56 > 0:34:59At £45. Down here, £50.

0:34:59 > 0:35:01At £50. To the lady at £50.

0:35:01 > 0:35:03Looking for some more here. At £50, all done.

0:35:03 > 0:35:05- All finished at £50. - GAVEL BANGS

0:35:05 > 0:35:08- That's good. That's good. - Good start.

0:35:08 > 0:35:12- Are you happy?- No. Not yet.

0:35:12 > 0:35:16You should be. 150% profit. It's a great start!

0:35:18 > 0:35:23Next, it's Anita's numerical printing and greeting card blocks.

0:35:23 > 0:35:25- Here we go. Keep your fingers crossed.- I will.

0:35:25 > 0:35:28I'm bid £10. Madam, thank you. Any advance on £10?

0:35:28 > 0:35:30Go down the King's Road, wouldn't buy you a block.

0:35:30 > 0:35:3312 bid. 15. Oh, come along. 15 offered.

0:35:33 > 0:35:35Right in front of me. Selling at 15.

0:35:35 > 0:35:38- Oh.- It's yours, madam, at £15. All done. Are we quite sure?

0:35:38 > 0:35:41Wouldn't buy you a block, I'm telling you. 15, right in front.

0:35:41 > 0:35:43- Going at £15, all done. - GAVEL BANGS

0:35:43 > 0:35:44Not a bad result.

0:35:47 > 0:35:50Time for David's cast-iron hay grabber.

0:35:50 > 0:35:54- Amway, let's go to the scrap dealer. - £10 for it or are we going to pass?

0:35:54 > 0:35:58- Oh, we've got it. 10 bid. - £10? That's...- Come on!

0:35:58 > 0:36:01At 10 at the back of the room, sir. Your money and it's away.

0:36:01 > 0:36:03- All finished at 10.- Oh! - Back of the room, an offer at 10.

0:36:03 > 0:36:05All finished at £10. Selling at £10.

0:36:05 > 0:36:08- I can't believe it!- I can. - GAVEL BANGS

0:36:08 > 0:36:12- They've got no style. - THEY LAUGH

0:36:13 > 0:36:17So, a loss after auction costs and no sympathy from Anita.

0:36:18 > 0:36:21- I loved you for buying that... - Thank you.- ..piece of rubbish.

0:36:21 > 0:36:23THEY LAUGH

0:36:24 > 0:36:27Charming. Time, if you pardon the pun,

0:36:27 > 0:36:30for Anita's Art Nouveau mantle clock.

0:36:30 > 0:36:3310 is bid. Any advance on only 10?

0:36:33 > 0:36:3512, 15, 17, 20.

0:36:35 > 0:36:40- Come on!- Ooh...- At £20. Any advance at £20 for the lot?

0:36:40 > 0:36:43Selling at £20. Right-hand side, at £20.

0:36:43 > 0:36:46Are we finished? Think we are. Selling at 20. At 22. Not quite.

0:36:46 > 0:36:50- Yes!- Oh!- At 25 on the right, standing at 25. You're out, madam.

0:36:50 > 0:36:55- I've got 25. 27.- Yes!- Hello. - 27 seated. All finished at 27.

0:36:55 > 0:36:58- All done. Sell for £27. - GAVEL BANGS

0:36:58 > 0:37:01- Oh, well done. Well done. - Well done, indeed.

0:37:01 > 0:37:04That's a decent profit.

0:37:04 > 0:37:08David's Mouseman pieces have received all sorts of praise

0:37:08 > 0:37:13- but how will his cheeseboard fare this morning?- Is your heart beating?

0:37:13 > 0:37:1810 bid. 15, 20, 25. At £25. Any advance on £25?

0:37:18 > 0:37:22- 30, 35, 40, 45... - Come on, come on.

0:37:22 > 0:37:26£45 against you, sir. It's got to go.

0:37:26 > 0:37:2750 bid. At £50.

0:37:27 > 0:37:30Looking for another 5. At 50 at the back then. Selling at 50.

0:37:30 > 0:37:34- 55.- Yes, good, good, good.

0:37:34 > 0:37:3655 at the back. 60.

0:37:36 > 0:37:38And again, sir. At 65.

0:37:38 > 0:37:43- At 65.- Not climbing there. - Hammer's up. At £65.

0:37:43 > 0:37:44- No! - GAVEL BANGS

0:37:44 > 0:37:46- Ooh.- Oh!- £65.

0:37:48 > 0:37:51It's still a profit for David, but less than expected.

0:37:53 > 0:37:58Next, Anita's cut-glass scent bottle with the silver embossed top.

0:38:00 > 0:38:0220 is bid. Any advance at 20?

0:38:02 > 0:38:05- 25, 30, 35.- Oh.

0:38:05 > 0:38:0740, 45, 50.

0:38:11 > 0:38:14At £50. 55, 60.

0:38:14 > 0:38:15At 60 in the distance then.

0:38:15 > 0:38:18Going away at £60. Gents are out.

0:38:18 > 0:38:20Selling here to a lady at £60, all done.

0:38:20 > 0:38:22- GAVEL BANGS - Nice one.- Yeah.

0:38:24 > 0:38:27A great profit, despite the missing stopper.

0:38:29 > 0:38:34- Two more each to go.- Two more.- This is the telling section, isn't it?

0:38:34 > 0:38:36It is, indeed.

0:38:36 > 0:38:40David loves his vintage bicycle lighter, but will anyone else?

0:38:41 > 0:38:4310 bid. Any advance on only 10?

0:38:43 > 0:38:48At 10, 12, 15, 17.

0:38:48 > 0:38:51At 17 for the lot then. Nearer me then, at 17.

0:38:51 > 0:38:54- All finished at 17. You have it, sir.- No!

0:38:54 > 0:38:58All finished at 17. 20 bid. Not quite. 22? 22.

0:38:58 > 0:39:03At 22 to a gent then. Quite sure at 22? Going to sell it to you, sir.

0:39:03 > 0:39:04- Hammer's up at £22.- Oh!

0:39:06 > 0:39:08- GAVEL BANGS - Ooh...

0:39:08 > 0:39:10I thought someone else was going to come in then.

0:39:10 > 0:39:14Sadly not. But every little helps, as they say.

0:39:15 > 0:39:19Will Anita's collection of four gold brooches do any better?

0:39:19 > 0:39:23- 50 start. Any advance on 50? - Oh, my gosh.

0:39:23 > 0:39:26- 60. 70, 80, 90.- Yes! - Seriously...- 100.

0:39:26 > 0:39:29- And 10. 120. 125.- Yes!

0:39:29 > 0:39:34- 130.- Yes!- At £130, lady at the back.- Amazing.

0:39:34 > 0:39:36£130. All out over this side.

0:39:36 > 0:39:40Looking for another £5. Selling at 130. You have it, madam.

0:39:40 > 0:39:44- Selling away now, at £130. - GAVEL BANGS

0:39:44 > 0:39:46- Yes!- £130.

0:39:46 > 0:39:51That's a great profit for Anita and her beloved brooches.

0:39:51 > 0:39:53She's nearly tripled her money.

0:39:53 > 0:39:57- I'm pleased at that.- That's amazing. That is the best of the day so far.

0:39:57 > 0:40:01Up next, it's David's Mouseman milking stool.

0:40:01 > 0:40:03He spent a fair whack on this.

0:40:03 > 0:40:06Let's hope it does better than the cheeseboard.

0:40:06 > 0:40:11- You know I'm going to hold your hand, don't you?- Oh...hold my hand.

0:40:11 > 0:40:14Start me at £100 to go. 100 bid.

0:40:14 > 0:40:18- £100!- Come on.- Any advance at £100? At £100 for the lot.

0:40:18 > 0:40:23- 120, 140. At £140.- Come on!

0:40:23 > 0:40:25Any advance for the stool? At £140.

0:40:25 > 0:40:28- Looking for 160. Take a half, 150 bid.- Come on!

0:40:28 > 0:40:31- Accepted. 150 offered.- Come on!

0:40:31 > 0:40:34- At £150. Another £10 anywhere else? - Go on!- At £150.

0:40:34 > 0:40:37- 160 bid. New buyer.- Oh, yes!

0:40:37 > 0:40:40At £160. Yours in the middle of the room, sir, at £160.

0:40:40 > 0:40:43Selling away then, in the middle of the room at £160.

0:40:43 > 0:40:44GAVEL BANGS

0:40:44 > 0:40:49- Well, that's all right. It's all right.- Got my heart beating.- I know!

0:40:49 > 0:40:52Yours?! I'm surprised I'm still sat down.

0:40:52 > 0:40:54I thought I'd be on the floor by now!

0:40:54 > 0:40:57That profit has put David back in the game.

0:40:57 > 0:41:00Maybe Anita does have the magic touch after all.

0:41:02 > 0:41:05Anita's biggest buy, and perhaps biggest gamble,

0:41:05 > 0:41:07was her slightly damaged tea set.

0:41:08 > 0:41:12Listen, very best of luck with this one.

0:41:12 > 0:41:16- 10 bid. 15, 20, 25. At £25. - There's still a long way to go.

0:41:16 > 0:41:20Come along. 25 offered. 30. 35. 40.

0:41:20 > 0:41:23At £40. Are you bidding, sir? 45.

0:41:23 > 0:41:27- Come on.- 50. 55, 60, 65, 70.

0:41:27 > 0:41:31- Gone, hasn't it?- Yeah.- 80. Now, it's £80, corner right has it.

0:41:31 > 0:41:34Any advance on £80 for the lot?

0:41:34 > 0:41:38- Quite sure?- That's a lot of money for that.- It is a bit.

0:41:38 > 0:41:40- Selling at £80. - GAVEL BANGS

0:41:40 > 0:41:43- That's very good.- Ah. - That's a good, healthy profit.

0:41:43 > 0:41:45- I'm happy enough with that.- Yeah.

0:41:45 > 0:41:50And so she should be, considering how auctioneer Guy predicted it.

0:41:50 > 0:41:52- Phew!- Massive profit, massive profit.

0:41:52 > 0:41:55It was a bit nail-biting at times.

0:41:55 > 0:41:57I think we need to lie down.

0:41:57 > 0:41:59- Separately, of course!- Of course! - Go on, you go.

0:41:59 > 0:42:02Well, if you can remain vertical for now, chaps,

0:42:02 > 0:42:05the results are as follows...

0:42:05 > 0:42:09David started this leg with £385.86.

0:42:09 > 0:42:14Today, he's made a solid profit of £36.74,

0:42:14 > 0:42:18meaning he carries forward £422.60.

0:42:18 > 0:42:21Nice cheesy grin, David, thank you.

0:42:22 > 0:42:27Anita, meanwhile, emerges victorious. She started with £318.65.

0:42:27 > 0:42:33After auction costs, she has made an incredible profit of £90.84.

0:42:33 > 0:42:37So, although she's still trailing slightly behind David overall,

0:42:37 > 0:42:41with £409.49, she has won the day.

0:42:43 > 0:42:45That was exciting, David. Oh, thank you.

0:42:45 > 0:42:48- You know what, you deserve that. - What a gentleman.- You deserve it.

0:42:48 > 0:42:52- You are my hero, Anita. Ready? - Yeah.- Strap yourself in.

0:42:54 > 0:42:57- Get ready for another adventure, eh? - Yes, indeedy.

0:42:57 > 0:43:00I, for one, cannot wait.

0:43:01 > 0:43:05Next time, on Antiques Road Trip, Anita shows off her many talents...

0:43:05 > 0:43:08# ..To Dundee. #

0:43:11 > 0:43:14..while David sees something he really likes.

0:43:14 > 0:43:16Ooh, I say! Fantastic!
