0:00:02 > 0:00:04It's the nation's favourite antiques experts...
0:00:04 > 0:00:06- I don't know what to do. - HORN TOOTS
0:00:06 > 0:00:11..with £200 each, a classic car and a goal to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13What a little diamond.
0:00:13 > 0:00:17The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20Back in the game! Charlie!
0:00:20 > 0:00:23There'll be worthy winners and valiant losers.
0:00:23 > 0:00:24SHE GASPS
0:00:24 > 0:00:26So, will it be the high road to glory
0:00:26 > 0:00:29- or the slow road to disaster?- Oh!
0:00:29 > 0:00:31This is the Antiques Road Trip!
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:37 > 0:00:41It's the final leg of the Road Trip for debonair David Harper
0:00:41 > 0:00:43and the queen of the auction room Anita Manning.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49- We're in your neck of the woods. - We're in my neck of the woods.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52- Good buying venues in these parts, Anita Manning?- Oh, yes.
0:00:52 > 0:00:57We are indeed just outside Glasgow. It's been a fun old Road Trip.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Time for a bit of nostalgic reflection perhaps.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Well, it's been a lark. It's been a great lark.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Yep, yep, and it has been so much fun.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08- And we've seen wonderful places, David.- We have, yes.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12I will miss you, Anita. It has been a really great adventure.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19David has a bit of a soft spot for his travel companion,
0:01:19 > 0:01:21but our bonnie auctioneer Anita Manning
0:01:21 > 0:01:24has already set her sights on someone else.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- I quite fancy him.- Ha!
0:01:27 > 0:01:30David Harper has his heart set firmly on winning the final auction,
0:01:30 > 0:01:33but could he be about to fall for the wrong thing?
0:01:35 > 0:01:40Oh, John, here I am looking at a pair of oriental vases.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45I can sense myself getting into all sorts of trouble here.
0:01:45 > 0:01:50Our lovestruck antiquers have been steadily eating up the miles north
0:01:50 > 0:01:54in their sturdy little 1965 Morris Minor Convertible.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59And our little car has just behaved like a dream.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03- She's been a little buzzer, hasn't she?- I'm going to miss her.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07- I might even miss you. - And me.- Aw, so sweet.
0:02:07 > 0:02:12Our lovable duo started this trip with £200 each.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17On this final stretch, David has £429.84 to spend.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Anita, however, has soared ahead, so she goes into this last leg
0:02:22 > 0:02:27in the lead, with £565.25 for the trip ahead
0:02:27 > 0:02:29and the competition's heating up!
0:02:32 > 0:02:36- Well, I'm a wee bit ahead of you, David.- Oh, stop it.- A wee bit ahead.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38A wee bit?
0:02:38 > 0:02:41You're miles ahead, it's ridiculous, and should be actually illegal.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Quite right. Speaking of miles, David and Anita have been travelling
0:02:45 > 0:02:49over 700 of them, all the way from Ramsbottom, Lancashire,
0:02:49 > 0:02:53snaking their way up through Yorkshire to Bonnie Scotland,
0:02:53 > 0:02:54ending up in Paisley.
0:02:54 > 0:02:59Today's journey is commencing just outside the old weaving village
0:02:59 > 0:03:02of Kilbarchan in Renfrewshire
0:03:02 > 0:03:05and finishes at this week's final auction in Paisley.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08David's first shop of this leg is Gardner's Antiques,
0:03:08 > 0:03:12where he's meeting a dealer also called David. Stand by.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- Keep it nice and simple. Two Davids together, eh?- Nice to meet you.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25And he's quick to spot something of interest.
0:03:27 > 0:03:33And that's that big lump of glass screaming the 1960s.
0:03:33 > 0:03:38So cool and so stylish, very organic in its twisty shape.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40But look at the light fitting itself.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43That is not a recent addition, that is original,
0:03:43 > 0:03:45contemporary to the glass.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49That flying fish mark is a Strathearn Glass mark.
0:03:49 > 0:03:54Strathearn Glass was manufactured from 1965 to 1980.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58Aside from the leaping salmon, it's also recognisable
0:03:58 > 0:04:00by its bold, bright colours
0:04:00 > 0:04:04similar to the hugely collectable Italian Murano glass.
0:04:04 > 0:04:09So, something that has a real continental, stylish, Italian look
0:04:09 > 0:04:13was actually made probably no more than two hours
0:04:13 > 0:04:15from where we are standing right now.
0:04:15 > 0:04:21It's bang on trend and I want it so badly it's unbelievable.
0:04:22 > 0:04:28Its ticket price is £95, but will the other David be willing to do a deal?
0:04:28 > 0:04:32So, David, do you love 20th-century design or not?
0:04:32 > 0:04:37It's not really my thing, but I can appreciate that it is attractive.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Right. That's bringing the price down, then.
0:04:42 > 0:04:43- No, not at all.- No!
0:04:45 > 0:04:50- I didn't think so.- Not looking too hopeful on that discount.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54- Maybe use some of that Harper charm. - I love it.- Yep.- I've got taste.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58- You hate it... - Not quite what I had in mind.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02- What's the best on that for me, trade?- That would be £80.- £80?
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- So that's it, as we say, the death? - It is the death, yes.- OK.- £80.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Well, I think I've got to have it, David. Thank you very much.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11David's spent big on his first item,
0:05:11 > 0:05:14heading boldly towards the final auction.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22Anita is ten miles south, in the town of Kilbirnie.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Back in Ayrshire, and her old stomping ground,
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Anita is catching up with girlfriend Greta.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33- Hi, Greta.- Anita, how are you?
0:05:33 > 0:05:37It's lovely to see you again and to be back in the Stirrup Cup.
0:05:39 > 0:05:44Anita has just over £565 burning a hole in her pocket.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Can she spend some of it in here?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49MUSIC: My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion
0:05:55 > 0:05:56Tell me a bit about this.
0:05:56 > 0:06:01It was made by this enthusiast, this chap, who has completely
0:06:01 > 0:06:05built it himself with its working steam engine inside.
0:06:05 > 0:06:10This boat has been painstakingly made but with a £250 ticket price,
0:06:10 > 0:06:13will thrifty Anita think it's worth the financial risk?
0:06:13 > 0:06:17- I do like it. I'm sorely tempted. - You can't lose money on that.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21I know that I quite possibly could. It's a substantial buy.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- It's not a modest buy. - I know, I know.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25You wanted to come in and spend 30.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Clearly Greta's dealt with Anita before.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31However, the fact that it's been made by an amateur
0:06:31 > 0:06:35could decrease its value at auction significantly.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37What is the very bottom that you would take for it?
0:06:41 > 0:06:42220.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48- I thought you were going to say 150. - No, no, no, no, no.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- I can't be that much in loss. - Would you take the 200 for it?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- I will.- 200, that's lovely. Thank you very much, Greta.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- You're very welcome. - That's a great boat.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58Brave move, Anita.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02She's risking her lead by spending a huge chunk of her cash
0:07:02 > 0:07:04on a bit of a gamble item.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08Perhaps time to get back to some familiar ground, Anita. Jewellery.
0:07:08 > 0:07:13- I was looking at this little brooch here.- Isn't it sweet?- That's nice.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16- It's just a pity there's not a name on it.- Is there no marker?
0:07:16 > 0:07:19I don't see a sculptor's name on it.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23I think this is quite a nice thing, Art Nouveau, and I love that period.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28It's a piece of costume jewellery and I think it's very sweet.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32Ticket price is £45.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Looking at a reasonable price that will give me a chance...
0:07:41 > 0:07:44I'd be... Is 25...?
0:07:44 > 0:07:48It's a bit low. I was thinking nearer 40.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- Well, if I could get even 32. - Could you go to 30 for it?
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- OK, then. Yes. - Could we go to 30?- Yeah.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00For £230, Anita has picked up two items in this shop
0:08:00 > 0:08:01and is on her merry way.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Well, I hope my purchases will keep my profit afloat.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- And good luck to you.- Bye-bye.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11FERRY HORN BLOWS
0:08:11 > 0:08:16David is taking the 35-minute ferry ride across the Firth of Clyde
0:08:16 > 0:08:18to the beautiful Isle of Bute.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23He's here to visit Mount Stuart,
0:08:23 > 0:08:27one of the most spectacular Gothic revival buildings in Britain.
0:08:31 > 0:08:36David is meeting Head of Collections, Alice Martin... Lucky old Alice.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- Hello, Alice. - Hi, welcome to Mount Stuart.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42..to learn more about this beautiful building and the incredible history
0:08:42 > 0:08:44surrounding the family who created it.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48Alice, this is some entrance hall, is it not? This is a house.
0:08:48 > 0:08:53It is a house, yes. It climbs to about 89 feet.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54Every house should have one.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57It shows the stars in the northern hemisphere.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03The house is the hereditary seat of the Crichton-Stuart family,
0:09:03 > 0:09:06who share common ancestry with the Scottish monarchy.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12So, how many generations, then, do the family go back here?
0:09:12 > 0:09:17The family's involvement in the island goes right back to the 1300s.
0:09:17 > 0:09:22The family were intertwined with the earliest of the Stuart's kings
0:09:22 > 0:09:25so Walter, High Steward to the Scottish king,
0:09:25 > 0:09:28married Robert the Bruce's daughter, Marjorie.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30So, this family share common ancestry
0:09:30 > 0:09:33with Bonnie Prince Charlie, Mary, Queen of Scots
0:09:33 > 0:09:36and all of those great figures from Stuart royal history.
0:09:39 > 0:09:44The house was originally built in the 1700s but burnt down in 1877.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50The Third Marquess, thought at the time to be
0:09:50 > 0:09:53the richest man in Britain, rebuilt it in the 1880s.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Unsurprisingly, no expense was spared.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07This house is actually a phoenix that arose out of the ashes
0:10:07 > 0:10:11and is estimated to have cost around £89 million in today's money.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Well, you would if you could, wouldn't you?
0:10:13 > 0:10:14You would if you could.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18When it was rebuilt, the finest craftsmen of the time
0:10:18 > 0:10:21were brought in to replicate architectural marvels
0:10:21 > 0:10:23from around the world.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Our floor in the marble chapel is a direct influence
0:10:27 > 0:10:29from the Sistine Chapel, for example.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32These banisters that you see around the gallery,
0:10:32 > 0:10:35they're all exact replicas of Charlemagne's Palace
0:10:35 > 0:10:37in Aachen in Germany.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40All of the marble that you see around here is Italian and Sicilian.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44He actually built a railway to bring all of the marble
0:10:44 > 0:10:47from the pier down below the house up to the house
0:10:47 > 0:10:50and built a worker's village for all the people that it took.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- It sounds like a movie, doesn't it? - It is incredible.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55- It's such a great script, that. - It is a script.
0:10:57 > 0:11:02The house also comes equipped with some great historical characters.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05The Third Earl of Bute, who lived here in the 18th century,
0:11:05 > 0:11:08was the first Scottish Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11He was also one of the founders of Kew Gardens
0:11:11 > 0:11:14and his love of botany is believed to have stemmed
0:11:14 > 0:11:16from the spectacular grounds here.
0:11:18 > 0:11:23- OK, so this is our grand dining room.- Grand dining room, indeed.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25My gosh.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Where did the money come from?
0:11:27 > 0:11:33A lot of the money that built this house comes from Wales and coal.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36The Second Marquess had inherited through his grandmother,
0:11:36 > 0:11:40Charlotte Jane Windsor, huge tracts of land in Wales,
0:11:40 > 0:11:44and he, being an entrepreneur, the Second Marquess,
0:11:44 > 0:11:47actually developed Cardiff from quite a small fishing village
0:11:47 > 0:11:52into one of the largest coal-exporting cities in the world
0:11:52 > 0:11:56by building massive docks, which were known as the Bute Docks.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58With unlimited resources,
0:11:58 > 0:12:02the house was equipped with all mod cons, such as ceiling lights,
0:12:02 > 0:12:06and claims to have the first indoor heated pool in the world.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09It was the most modern house in Britain.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Gosh, Alice.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15I suppose this is a snapshot of absolute modern living...
0:12:15 > 0:12:19- Absolutely.- ..for the very rich late-19th century family.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Yeah, yeah. I mean, if you had imagination and a lot of money,
0:12:22 > 0:12:26you built one of these and, of course, being the first
0:12:26 > 0:12:29that we know of in the world to be heated in a private home,
0:12:29 > 0:12:32this is pretty unique. And it's just fascinating
0:12:32 > 0:12:34cos this is obviously one of the parts of the house
0:12:34 > 0:12:37that didn't get finished when the Third Marquess died in 1900.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40- Sorry, the house was never finished? - It's still a work-in-progress.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Whilst the family no longer live in Mount Stuart,
0:12:44 > 0:12:47they are still dedicated to preserving
0:12:47 > 0:12:50the Crichton-Stuart family history and the building,
0:12:50 > 0:12:53now managed by the Mount Stuart Trust.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Thanks to them,
0:12:55 > 0:13:00and not unlike Gaudi's Sagrada Familia in Barcelona,
0:13:00 > 0:13:03work on this incredible building still continues today
0:13:03 > 0:13:05based on its original designs.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11Across the water,
0:13:11 > 0:13:15Anita is in the traditional Scottish holiday resort of Largs.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19The last seagoing paddle steamer in the world, the Waverley,
0:13:19 > 0:13:22makes regular trips from here in the summer.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30Anita's catching up with yet another old pal at Narducci Antiques.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36In spite of spending big in her first shop,
0:13:36 > 0:13:41she's still got just over £335 left to spend.
0:13:41 > 0:13:42Stand by, everyone.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47I quite like this desk piece here.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53It's a wee desk accessory and I suppose you would put
0:13:53 > 0:13:55your papers and envelopes and so on in there.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56Letters and envelopes, uh-huh.
0:13:56 > 0:14:03And this would be where you would put your inkwells and a little...
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- For your nibs. - Nibs or stamps or whatever.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Probably... What would you say? Turn of the century?
0:14:09 > 0:14:11- Turn of the last century, yes. - Edwardian.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15And these wee chookie birdies.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17They're sweet, aren't they? Lovely.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22This piece is fresh in today, so no ticket price.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Chance of a bargain, perhaps?
0:14:24 > 0:14:27I'd like to be paying probably about £20 for it.
0:14:27 > 0:14:32- I was thinking more of around the 45 mark.- Could you come further down?
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Could you come to 25?
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- 30, how does 30 sound? - 30 is sounding better.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Do you know, Franco, we're getting there?
0:14:40 > 0:14:44- I see you winning this one, do you know that?- Do you know? I do too.
0:14:44 > 0:14:4628, Anita, how's that?
0:14:46 > 0:14:50We're going to go for that. It's good at 28, but can I show you
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- something else? Which is a wee bit mad...- OK.- ..and you might
0:14:53 > 0:14:57- just want to...- Give you it. - ..get rid of it.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01Another dealer who knows our wily Anita's ways.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05So, that's one item down and another one still to play for.
0:15:06 > 0:15:11Franco, I know this is a bit crazy but my eye was taken to this...
0:15:11 > 0:15:15- For me, it's a little piece of sculpture.- Uh-huh. Yes, it is.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17It's quite an unusual piece, a wee centrepiece for a table.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19- Uh-huh, for your candles. - For your candles, yes.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21When I looked at it, I thought, "Is it brand-new?
0:15:21 > 0:15:26"Where does it come from? Is it just a piece of nothing, really?"
0:15:26 > 0:15:30In the end, I didn't care because I liked it.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33It reminds me of space travel and spaceships,
0:15:33 > 0:15:36and surface of the moon, and Sputniks,
0:15:36 > 0:15:38and all that sort of stuff.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41This looks like a Christofle piece to me,
0:15:41 > 0:15:43which could make it rather sought after.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46For you, I'll do that for £25.
0:15:46 > 0:15:5025?! Come on, Franco, you must know what you're selling here.
0:15:50 > 0:15:55I would really like to be buying it for a tenner.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Try again. Try me again. Go on.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01I'll throw a cuddle in.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05- I'll throw a cuddle in if you say yes.- 15?
0:16:07 > 0:16:12- Let's go for both of them. - Thank you, thank you.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15OK, thank you. Oh, Franco.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17I say, Franco definitely deserves a kiss.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21He's been incredibly generous there as Anita is about to find out.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24It turns out that this is Christofle,
0:16:24 > 0:16:26which is a good French make,
0:16:26 > 0:16:29and Franco has just pointed that out to me.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33He has also supplied me with the box for it
0:16:33 > 0:16:35and, if I had known that beforehand... Franco...
0:16:35 > 0:16:38You'd have paid me fortunes. You'd have paid me fortunes.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41I would have paid you another £3.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Put it there, before you change your mind.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46No, I'm not changing my mind. A deal's a deal.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49That's unbelievably kind of you, Franco.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52For £43, Anita walks away with a French centrepiece
0:16:52 > 0:16:55and a fruitwood letter rack.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57And that wraps up Day One.
0:16:59 > 0:17:00Night-night.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07It's the final day's shopping for our adventurous treasure hunters
0:17:07 > 0:17:09and we're in Anita's hometown of Glasgow.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11- Into bonnie Glasgow. - Into bonnie Glasgow.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14It suddenly got much warmer when we crossed the border, didn't it?
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- That's right.- Palm trees appeared and everything.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21It's always Mediterranean climate in Central Scotland.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Ha! Anita had a great day's shopping yesterday.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29She took a massive gamble on a working model of the Titanic
0:17:29 > 0:17:31and also picked up an Art Nouveau brooch,
0:17:31 > 0:17:35a fruitwood letter rack and got a Christofle centrepiece
0:17:35 > 0:17:39for a bargain, leaving her with just under £300 to spend.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44David, however, bought just one item, a Strathearn lamp.
0:17:44 > 0:17:49This means he has nearly £350 to splash today.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52David's first shop this morning is in Glasgow's Finnieston area,
0:17:52 > 0:17:55home to a wealth of trendy bars and restaurants.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59He's visiting Real Deal Antiques - I wonder where that name came from.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06A bit of a tight squeeze in here.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10Whoops. It's a broken one!
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- It's a bronze.- Gosh, so tight.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15See, the good thing with the antiques business is
0:18:15 > 0:18:18you can use and abuse stuff and, when you do damage them like that,
0:18:18 > 0:18:20it just adds a little bit of character.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22- Isn't that right, Michael? - Certainly.
0:18:22 > 0:18:27I'm not sure Michael's convinced. A bit more care needed, I think, David.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30A little tea caddy.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32It's quite unusual to find these things
0:18:32 > 0:18:35with their original little canisters in there.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38This is a tea caddy dating to about 1820,
0:18:38 > 0:18:40just after the Napoleonic wars.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- Tea used to cost a fortune, didn't it?- Really, yeah.
0:18:43 > 0:18:48300 years ago, one teaspoon would equate to the average wage
0:18:48 > 0:18:52of a servant girl, so that is pretty expensive stuff.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56Tea first became popular in Britain in the 17th century,
0:18:56 > 0:19:01when Portuguese Princess Catherine de Braganza married Charles II.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05Known as something of a trendsetter, her taste for tea soon caught on.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09This one's 1820, Regency, mahogany, sarcophagus shape.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Ticket price £25. Looks rough to me.
0:19:12 > 0:19:18But those things, 20 years ago, in mint condition was £300.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Yeah, I can remember that.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24In worn-out condition like that, a restoration piece, was 100.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28- Now, it is a tenner's worth, isn't it? What is it?- 15.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Go on, then. Let's have that. It's a good start.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34£15 for a Regency, 140-year-old,
0:19:34 > 0:19:38thereabouts, tea caddy is absolutely ridiculous,
0:19:38 > 0:19:40in the best possible way.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43And if he can avoid knocking anything else over,
0:19:43 > 0:19:45there's plenty more to see.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49- What have we got here? - Some bowling trophies.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52I know this stand is silver-plate.
0:19:52 > 0:19:57- Let's have a look. So, engraved 1975. Now, William Prout...- Right.
0:19:57 > 0:20:02..I think, was a trophy maker in Glasgow.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Ticket price is £35.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06On a silver-plated stand.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10Could it be reused as a trophy for someone else?
0:20:10 > 0:20:11Well, it's nice to have a Glasgow
0:20:11 > 0:20:13piece when you're in Glasgow, isn't it?
0:20:13 > 0:20:15OK, well, it's silver but it's filled,
0:20:15 > 0:20:17so it's very thin silver on a stand.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Is that 15?
0:20:20 > 0:20:21Let me see it.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27OK, we'll do that for 15.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Michael's obviously feeling generous
0:20:29 > 0:20:32and that's another swift deal for the silver trophy.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Any more hidden treasure?
0:20:37 > 0:20:42- Now that, I imagine, is a Henry Moore.- Is it?
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Well, if that was a Henry Moore, you and I would be retired, I think.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Well, in my view, it's got nothing to do with Henry Moore.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Anyway, the ticket price is £22.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56I've probably had that about nine months.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58I can't really tell you where that came from.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00So, it's been in the cabinet for nine months
0:21:00 > 0:21:03- and nobody has spotted it as a Henry Moore yet?- No, no.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06It's quite good fun I think, actually.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10It's not bronze, it's just metal, isn't it? It's a bit mad.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Is that a five-pound note?
0:21:12 > 0:21:14That's a good tenner's worth.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Go on, I'll give you ten quid for a Henry Moore.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Marvellous. I'm done. That's brilliant. I've bought three things.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23- Right, OK.- Thank you very much.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Let's get out before I smash something.
0:21:25 > 0:21:30Quite right. That's a total of £40 for three lots. Good job.
0:21:30 > 0:21:31Thank you very much.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Anita is also in Glasgow.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38She's going to learn about famous Scottish comedian and singer
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Harry Lauder, one of the greatest performers
0:21:40 > 0:21:43and bestselling recording artists of his generation.
0:21:44 > 0:21:49# Roamin' in the gloamin' on the bonnie banks o' Clyde
0:21:49 > 0:21:51# Roamin' in the gloamin'... #
0:21:51 > 0:21:53She's meeting Paul Maloney.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59- Anita.- Hello, Paul.- Hello, nice to meet you.- It's lovely to meet you.
0:21:59 > 0:22:04# Oh, it's lovely roamin' in the gloamin'... #
0:22:04 > 0:22:07They're at Glasgow University Library, home to one of the
0:22:07 > 0:22:11largest collections of Harry Lauder memorabilia in the world.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13- Would you like to come in and see the collection?- Yes.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19Who was Harry Lauder? What was his background?
0:22:19 > 0:22:20Did he come from Glasgow?
0:22:20 > 0:22:23No, he was born in Portobello, which is the seaside town
0:22:23 > 0:22:27outside Edinburgh, and his father was a potter.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31The family moved briefly to England
0:22:31 > 0:22:34but following the tragic death of Harry's father,
0:22:34 > 0:22:37moved back to Scotland, finally settling in Hamilton,
0:22:37 > 0:22:39just outside Glasgow.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43This meant that Harry had to become effectively the breadwinner
0:22:43 > 0:22:45very early on in his life.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Harry started working in the flax mills
0:22:48 > 0:22:51and eventually ended up in the mines.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Lauder claimed it was here that he learned to be a comic,
0:22:54 > 0:22:58while working gruelling 12-hour shifts with no natural light.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04It seems an unlikely background for a theatre performer.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06He was always interested in singing and performing
0:23:06 > 0:23:09and, in fact, about the time he started work as a boy worker,
0:23:09 > 0:23:11in a way, he began entering competitions.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14He was very successful. He was obviously very good at it
0:23:14 > 0:23:17and, by the time we get to the 1890s,
0:23:17 > 0:23:21he begins to get offers of work,
0:23:21 > 0:23:24what were called semi-professional offers of work.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Lauder received his big break in 1892,
0:23:27 > 0:23:31when he had an offer to tour the country with a concert party.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35And so he goes off on a 14-week tour with a concert party
0:23:35 > 0:23:38all over Scotland and it's a fantastic apprenticeship for him.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Despite Glasgow being at the heart of the heyday
0:23:42 > 0:23:46of Scottish variety theatre, it wasn't until Lauder moved to London
0:23:46 > 0:23:48that his career really took off.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54In 1900, he decided to go to London to end what was in some ways
0:23:54 > 0:23:57a make-or-break exercise and he got lucky.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00A performer went off ill and he was asked at very short notice
0:24:00 > 0:24:02by telegram to come and go on that night.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05He charmed the audience. He sang his Scotch comic material,
0:24:05 > 0:24:07and after that offers of work flooded in.
0:24:07 > 0:24:12Paul, tell me a wee bit about the kind of act that he would have done
0:24:12 > 0:24:13in those first days.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15He would sing a succession of comic songs,
0:24:15 > 0:24:18each with a different character. And sometimes he'd drag up
0:24:18 > 0:24:21and play a woman or he'd play a whole range of people.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Lauder's arrival on the scene coincided
0:24:24 > 0:24:26with the rise of the gramophone.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30In 1902, he cut his first track
0:24:30 > 0:24:34and was the first British artist to sell one million records.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37When I think of Harry Lauder songs...
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Roamin' in the Gloamin', I Love a Lassie -
0:24:40 > 0:24:42- people are still singing these songs today.- Yeah.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44# I love a lassie
0:24:44 > 0:24:46# A bonnie, bonnie lassie
0:24:46 > 0:24:50# She's as pure as the lily in the dell... #
0:24:50 > 0:24:55After a successful stint in panto in 1907, Lauder decided
0:24:55 > 0:25:00to take his act to the United States, again with unbelievable results.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02He was hugely successful there.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06By 1908 he was earning 5,000 a week playing in America
0:25:06 > 0:25:08and, at the height of his success,
0:25:08 > 0:25:11which came slightly later in the States,
0:25:11 > 0:25:13he would have his own trains to travel with his company
0:25:13 > 0:25:15called Lauder Expresses.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17- He was a superstar. - He was a superstar.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Hugely influential throughout his career,
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Lauder met with five American presidents.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28He had the world at his feet when World War I broke out.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33In 1917 he got a telegram, the dreaded telegram,
0:25:33 > 0:25:36saying that his son had been killed in action.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Following this devastating news,
0:25:40 > 0:25:44Lauder's focus moved from show business to the war effort.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Against the advice of the War Office,
0:25:46 > 0:25:51he took his show to the troops in the trenches to boost morale.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54He even tried to enlist himself but was too old.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56He was very concerned about the troops.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58What would happen to all the wounded? What's going to happen
0:25:58 > 0:26:00to them after the war? How are they going to survive?
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Lauder went on to establish the Million Pound Fund
0:26:03 > 0:26:05to help injured soldiers.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09He also made a short film with close friend Charlie Chaplin
0:26:09 > 0:26:10to help raise funds.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13He was a hugely energetic man
0:26:13 > 0:26:16and clearly poured all his energy into doing this.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20In 1919, Lauder was knighted for his work during the war.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23In the 1930s, he retired from the stage
0:26:23 > 0:26:26but continued to do the odd performance and fundraised
0:26:26 > 0:26:28during the Second World War.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32In a career spanning four decades, he touched the lives of countless people
0:26:32 > 0:26:36with his generosity, gentle humour and catchy tunes.
0:26:36 > 0:26:41# Oh, it's lovely roamin' in the gloamin'. #
0:26:43 > 0:26:47David is nearby, visiting Glasgow City Antiques.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51He's got just under £310 left to spend.
0:26:51 > 0:26:58So, this is my last chance on this WHOLE trip to pull it back.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01One more purchase and I can't go the safe route.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Can dealer John help him find that winning item?
0:27:14 > 0:27:20Oh, John, here I am looking at a pair of Oriental vases.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24I can sense myself getting into all sorts of trouble here.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Do you love them?
0:27:26 > 0:27:29- Nope.- You don't?- No!- Seriously? Why?
0:27:29 > 0:27:33- What is wrong with you? - The amount of damage.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35That doesn't seem to be putting David off...
0:27:37 > 0:27:40..neither does the ticket price of £220.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42I can't help be drawn to them.
0:27:42 > 0:27:47There you have a pair of monumental Japanese
0:27:47 > 0:27:53late-19th century Meiji-period Satsuma vases.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56A pair, John. What's wrong with you?
0:27:56 > 0:28:00It's make or break. David needs to seriously think about this.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04They're beautiful vases but severely damaged.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Can I buy them for sub £100?
0:28:07 > 0:28:10- 100 quid, cash.- That's not sub 100.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12No. 100 quid, cash.
0:28:13 > 0:28:18OK, I'm probably the only person in the world that is very happy
0:28:18 > 0:28:21to buy a pair of smashed Satsuma vases.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24I'm going to have to have them. I love them so much I don't care.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28- £100.- Wish me all the luck. - I certainly do, yes.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30Wow, I don't believe it.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33He's got an incredible 50% off his final item
0:28:33 > 0:28:35but it's still a bit of a gamble to buy something
0:28:35 > 0:28:40SO badly damaged for the all-important last auction.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44Anita has crossed over to the south bank of the River Clyde
0:28:44 > 0:28:47and the district of Govan.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50She's visiting the eclectic Love Salvage,
0:28:50 > 0:28:52with just under £300 in her pocket.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Go, Anita. Go, girl.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01Harley-Davidson. Vroom, vroom. Vroom, vroom.
0:29:02 > 0:29:045'4".
0:29:04 > 0:29:05I've grown.
0:29:08 > 0:29:13- It's a big adventure playground. - And speaking of adventurous...
0:29:13 > 0:29:15SHE LAUGHS
0:29:18 > 0:29:20It's a laughing policeman.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25- John!- Yes? - John, where did this come from?
0:29:25 > 0:29:26You've got to tell me.
0:29:26 > 0:29:30We got that a while back from another private dealer.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34- It's papier-mache and some sort of fairground attraction.- Uh-huh.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37I've not got a lot of origin information about it.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39I know, but it's such a hoot.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42- It brightens up the place as well, you know?- That's right.
0:29:42 > 0:29:43I quite fancy him.
0:29:43 > 0:29:48Yes, does she love him enough to fork out some serious cash?
0:29:48 > 0:29:52Remember, you've already taken a Titanic-size risk on this leg, Anita.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56- Is this guy for sale?- He is indeed. - Everything's for sale.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59- Everything's for sale.- OK, darling?
0:29:59 > 0:30:01- But for what price? - He should be OK there.
0:30:01 > 0:30:06Anita is way in the lead, but one wrong buy could cost her dearly.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10- Tell me what you might look for him. - He's priced about £60 just now.
0:30:10 > 0:30:15- 60.- Yeah.- It is just such great fun.
0:30:15 > 0:30:16Would you take £40 for him?
0:30:19 > 0:30:22- I could do him... 45 probably would be the best.- 45?
0:30:22 > 0:30:25I'd be sad to see him go, but he has been here a wee while.
0:30:25 > 0:30:30- Well, I think maybe he's got a new home then at 45.- Fantastic.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32Put it there, John. That's great, thank you.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36- Thank you very much, Anita. - You're coming home with me.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39- And he's still smiling! - He's still smiling.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41And so is Anita.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45- Thank you very much, John. - Thank you for your custom.
0:30:45 > 0:30:46Thanks for your visit.
0:30:46 > 0:30:51That last purchase for £45 wraps up this trip's shopping.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54Anita adds the policeman's head to her giant risk
0:30:54 > 0:30:56of the model of the Titanic
0:30:56 > 0:31:00and her potentially valuable Christofle centrepiece.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03She also bought an Art Nouveau brooch and a letter rack.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07Anita spent a total of £318.
0:31:07 > 0:31:12David, for once, has spent less than Anita, just £220.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14For this, he picked up a Strathearn lamp,
0:31:14 > 0:31:17a circa-1820s tea caddy,
0:31:17 > 0:31:18a silver bowls trophy,
0:31:18 > 0:31:22a modernist golf trophy and also took a bit of a gamble
0:31:22 > 0:31:26on a pair of Meiji Japanese Satsuma vases, which are bust.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29But what do they think of each other's final purchases?
0:31:31 > 0:31:35Now, this is where it starts to get serious - the Titanic model.
0:31:35 > 0:31:39It's got bigness. It's a big baby that could make her a bit,
0:31:39 > 0:31:43but I'm hoping... Please! ..it's going to lose her a bit.
0:31:43 > 0:31:48The vases! These are massive. They are immense.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50The damage is going to make a difference.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54He's taken a chance. He's been brave but well done, David.
0:31:57 > 0:31:58The last auction is finally upon us
0:31:58 > 0:32:02and our dazzling duo are just outside Glasgow in the town of Paisley.
0:32:03 > 0:32:08With a lot of catching up to do, are you feeling a bit nervous, David?
0:32:08 > 0:32:11- Our very, very last auction. - Stop it!
0:32:11 > 0:32:14I'm far too nervous to talk about it.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17We've both got potential for profits, David.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19Yeah, we do actually. We do.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21But we've also got potential for losses.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25You have taken some chances and I love you for it, I really do.
0:32:25 > 0:32:26It makes it very exciting.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29The auction today is online and in the room,
0:32:29 > 0:32:33and is taking place at Collins & Paterson Auctioneers.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Wielding the gavel this morning is Stephen Maxwell.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38The Titanic should sell really well, I think.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41It's in fantastic condition and I believe it is in working order
0:32:41 > 0:32:46as well, so I'm very confident it should sail off at a good price.
0:32:46 > 0:32:50The pair of tall Japanese vases do have extensive damage,
0:32:50 > 0:32:55so I have my doubts as to whether they might sell particularly well.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58Only time will tell, so let the auction commence.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Oh, it's so exciting, eh?
0:33:01 > 0:33:03- You're up first.- I'm up first.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Calm yourself, David. First up, Anita's brooch.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11Straight in at £12...
0:33:11 > 0:33:13- Oh, good, I was going to get excited at that.- I know.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17..18, at 20 now is your bid, sir. At £20 has it.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19I need a wee bit more.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23At £20. Gone to number 289.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27- Mm... Not brilliant. Not brilliant. - Not brilliant.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31A disappointing start there for Anita and that was her safe item.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35I feel fantastic. Absolutely... I'm ecstatic!
0:33:35 > 0:33:39- Sorry, did I say that out loud? - Not very sporting, David.
0:33:39 > 0:33:44Will he be quite so smug after HIS first lot, the silver bowls trophy?
0:33:44 > 0:33:46At 15, in at 15. 15, I have here.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49Are you bidding? Oh, £18. 20.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52- And 2, 22.- Come on, come on.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55We'll sell it, then, at £22... Gone there...
0:33:56 > 0:33:59That's £7 on-paper profit.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01Not a bad start for David,
0:34:01 > 0:34:04though he's going to need to do better than that to catch his rival.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07I'm getting there, Anita. I'm catching you. I'm catching you up.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Can his tea caddy shrink Anita's lead even more?
0:34:13 > 0:34:16- How do you feel about that? - Very confident.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20- It should double its money. - Yeah?- Really, it should.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23I'm going for the 100%. I'm going double bubble.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26- It's a wee bit tired, David. - I know. Well, aren't we all?
0:34:26 > 0:34:29If you'd been around since 1820, you'd be a bit tired.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32Any tea drinkers in today? Come on, now. £30, surely.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34- At 20 then.- Ugh.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38At £20. Thank you, madam. £20 we have. Do I have 22?
0:34:38 > 0:34:4022 at the back. 25?
0:34:40 > 0:34:43- Got you now, sir.- Go on! - Still at 25.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46- We'll sell it, then, at £25. - A bit more!
0:34:46 > 0:34:50- Gone there. It's 309.- It's not double bubble, so I'm not happy.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53Still, not a bad profit though, David.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56Next, it's Anita's letter rack.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00Thank you, sir. 25, I have straight in.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03- 28, £30...- 30.- You're in.
0:35:03 > 0:35:08..35, 38? The bid's now at the back. It's with the gent now at £38.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Gone there, 216. £38.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12That's all right. Are you pleased with that?
0:35:12 > 0:35:15- I'm happy.- You've made back the loss.- I'm delirious.- Are you?
0:35:15 > 0:35:18- I'm delirious. - It doesn't take much, does it?
0:35:18 > 0:35:22Apparently not. Another nice little profit.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24I'm very happy for you.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28- Are you very, very happy? - Yeah, delighted. Ecstatic.
0:35:28 > 0:35:29Let's see a big smile, then.
0:35:31 > 0:35:36Next up, it's David's Strathearn lamp that he fell in love with
0:35:36 > 0:35:39- and rated so highly. - Good Scottish glass lamp, this.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Start there at 20, surely? 20.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43Thank you, sir. £20, we have. 20 bid.
0:35:43 > 0:35:47Do we have...? 22 at the back. 25?
0:35:47 > 0:35:49No, you're out, madam. With the gent at 25.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Do we have 28? It's with the gent there and we're selling...
0:35:51 > 0:35:55- This is going to be horrible. No. - Gone, 338. £25 there.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57That's terrible. I knew it. I knew it.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00But I loved it. What can you do? What can you do?
0:36:00 > 0:36:02Well, bad luck, David. It's a big loss.
0:36:02 > 0:36:06Just not what he needed in this all-important last auction.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09- I'd buy it again.- Would you?
0:36:09 > 0:36:10HE SOBS
0:36:10 > 0:36:11I bet you wouldn't.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19Probably not. Next up, it's Anita's accidental great find,
0:36:19 > 0:36:21a Christofle centrepiece.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25She got this for a steal but will it live up to its potential?
0:36:25 > 0:36:30I love it. It's modernist, it's French, it's, "Ooh, la, la."
0:36:30 > 0:36:32It's got everything going for it.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36- I'm starting on... OK, I'm actually straight in at £20...- Unbelievable.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39..on the candle holder. At 22, the gentleman. 25?
0:36:39 > 0:36:4128. 30 and 2.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44Now it's your bid, sir. It's in the room and 32 has it.
0:36:44 > 0:36:4535, new bidder.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49- 38, 40...- It's away! - Well, I never. That's taken off!
0:36:49 > 0:36:53..50, 5, 60, 5, 70, 5,
0:36:53 > 0:36:5880, 5, 90, 5, £100?
0:36:58 > 0:37:03- 110, 120, 130... - Crikey, and it's still going!
0:37:03 > 0:37:07..170, 180, 190, 200,
0:37:07 > 0:37:11210, 220, 230?
0:37:11 > 0:37:16240, 250? 260, 270...
0:37:16 > 0:37:19- I thought it would sell for a fiver. - 280!- ..290?
0:37:19 > 0:37:21You're out. The bid's with the gentleman in grey.
0:37:21 > 0:37:25We're selling to the room, fair warning to you, at £290.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27- Gone. It's yours, sir. 290 there.- Yes!
0:37:27 > 0:37:31That's my Titanic then, isn't it? Never mind that thing.
0:37:31 > 0:37:32That is unbelievable!
0:37:33 > 0:37:38Unbelievable. It really was an incredible buy.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42That amazing profit has now pushed Anita even further into the lead.
0:37:43 > 0:37:47- Well, I must say that I'm quite happy about that.- Happy?
0:37:47 > 0:37:50- You should be doing the blinking cancan.- The Highland fling?
0:37:50 > 0:37:51Do that if you like.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56Well, David, you've really got your work cut out now.
0:37:56 > 0:38:00It's your modernist golf trophy up next.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03£10 for the trophy. £10 surely for the trophy?
0:38:03 > 0:38:05- £5...- For goodness' sake!
0:38:07 > 0:38:10Any advance on £5? 8, the lady now! £10.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13- The lady of taste.- Thank you, madam.
0:38:13 > 0:38:14Are you back in at £12, no?
0:38:14 > 0:38:16Yes, £12.
0:38:16 > 0:38:1915. Still with the gentleman.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21We're selling at £15. Gone there!
0:38:21 > 0:38:25- Ugh! Disaster zone. - You've made a profit.
0:38:25 > 0:38:30A fiver. I need a lot more than that to catch you.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33Anita's laughing policeman's head was an unusual pick.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36Let's see how he does this morning.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40Yes, a papier-mache fairground head of a laughing policeman, no less.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42I never thought I'd say those words in an auction room.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45Interesting lot. What can we say about it? Where would you start?
0:38:45 > 0:38:48I have no idea. How about £20?
0:38:48 > 0:38:50Yes, thank you, sir. Straight in at 20.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53£20, we have. Do we have 22?
0:38:53 > 0:38:5722, 25, 28, 30,
0:38:57 > 0:39:0132, 35. For the same gent at 35.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04Any advance? We're selling then at £35.
0:39:04 > 0:39:08- Gone. Amazingly.- Oh!- 140 at £35.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10It was love at first sight for Anita,
0:39:10 > 0:39:14but clearly not to the people of Paisley.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16But her last item was the big gamble.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20Time for Anita's Titanic model.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24Will it sink or will it soar?
0:39:24 > 0:39:25A lovely item, this.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28I'm hoping it will sail away to somewhere nice shortly.
0:39:28 > 0:39:29Hopefully profit.
0:39:29 > 0:39:35£100. Thank you, sir. Gentleman has the bid at £100. 110 bid.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38120, 130, 140, 150...
0:39:38 > 0:39:42- The room's going quiet now. - ..160, 170. The bid's here at 180.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45Are you bidding, sir, in white? 190, 200?
0:39:45 > 0:39:47You're out. The bid's still in black. It's to my left
0:39:47 > 0:39:49with the gentleman. Selling at £200.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51- Gone. Number 67.- Well!
0:39:51 > 0:39:53£200 for the Titanic.
0:39:53 > 0:39:58Wiped its face. Now, Anita must be massively relieved with that result.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00Next, it's the final lot of the competition and it all rests
0:40:00 > 0:40:03on David's beloved Meiji vases.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06David might be behind but could this all be about to change?
0:40:06 > 0:40:11I could make a bit of profit but I'm not going to catch up to you, am I?
0:40:11 > 0:40:14Come on, David. Where's your fighting spirit? Stiffen up, man.
0:40:14 > 0:40:18- Start me at £100.- Oh, go on. - £100 surely for the pair.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Large vases, £100.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23Go on! Ahem. Sorry, did I say that out loud?
0:40:25 > 0:40:27I'll start, then. On commission I have £50 here
0:40:27 > 0:40:30to start the lot at 50. Just a starting point. 50 is with me.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32Do we have 5? 55 bid. £60?
0:40:32 > 0:40:36- 65, 70...- Come on, come on... - ..75, 80?
0:40:36 > 0:40:39You're out. Still with me at 80. It's on commission at 80.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41Do we have 85? Still with me at 80. We'll sell them, then, at £80.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44You won't. Don't sell them, don't sell them.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46- Gone to number 30.- Oh, no!
0:40:48 > 0:40:50- Unbelievable.- Aw.
0:40:51 > 0:40:56Crikey, someone's got those for a bargain. Bad luck, David.
0:40:56 > 0:40:57I don't care what you say,
0:40:57 > 0:41:01you have absolutely thrashed me within an inch of my life,
0:41:01 > 0:41:03so I think we should go and...
0:41:03 > 0:41:06- Cup of tea, cake, regroup and do the figures.- Uh-huh.
0:41:07 > 0:41:12So, at the end of five incredible auctions, the results are as follows.
0:41:12 > 0:41:18David started this leg with £429.84. After auction costs are deducted,
0:41:18 > 0:41:22he made a loss of £83.06, meaning he ends this competition
0:41:22 > 0:41:27with a respectable £346.78.
0:41:28 > 0:41:33Anita started out with £565.25.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36She's had another great auction today, making, after costs,
0:41:36 > 0:41:40a profit of £160.06.
0:41:40 > 0:41:44This means she's not just today's winner but also
0:41:44 > 0:41:45the victor of this Road Trip,
0:41:45 > 0:41:51with a spectacular final figure of £725.31.
0:41:51 > 0:41:55Well done, Anita, and all profits go to Children in Need.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58So, you know what? That's one each.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02Several years ago, you and I hit the road and I beat you,
0:42:02 > 0:42:05so I'm going to give you two or three years off
0:42:05 > 0:42:08and I'm going to re-challenge you.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10Be it on your own head!
0:42:11 > 0:42:14It's been a memorable old Road Trip...
0:42:14 > 0:42:19# The way you wear your hat
0:42:19 > 0:42:24# The way you sip your tea
0:42:24 > 0:42:27# The memory of all that... #
0:42:27 > 0:42:31- The sun is shining, the sky is blue...- And the roof is off!
0:42:31 > 0:42:35# No, they can't take that away from me... #
0:42:35 > 0:42:37..with some big, big wins...
0:42:37 > 0:42:39- Wahey! Whoa!- Mwah!
0:42:39 > 0:42:41..and some serious blows.
0:42:41 > 0:42:42FALTERING TOOT
0:42:42 > 0:42:44# The way you sing off key... #
0:42:44 > 0:42:46# ..to Dundee! #
0:42:46 > 0:42:49# The way you haunt my dreams... #
0:42:49 > 0:42:52- Do you like men in uniform? - I do!- I quite fancy him.
0:42:52 > 0:42:56But above all, an unbreakable bond has been formed.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59I've got on a Marks & Spencer silk vest.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Oh, hello.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04Next week, a brand-new pair of experts hit the road
0:43:04 > 0:43:06when wisdom meets youth...
0:43:06 > 0:43:08SHE GASPS FOR BREATH
0:43:08 > 0:43:10..with Philip Serrell
0:43:10 > 0:43:12and Natasha Raskin.
0:43:12 > 0:43:14- How old are you?- Shut up.
0:43:14 > 0:43:15SHE LAUGHS
