0:00:02 > 0:00:04It's the nation's favourite antiques experts...
0:00:04 > 0:00:05This is beautiful!
0:00:05 > 0:00:06That's the way to do this.
0:00:06 > 0:00:12..with £200 each, a classic car and a goal - to scour for antiques.
0:00:12 > 0:00:13Joy.
0:00:13 > 0:00:14Hello!
0:00:14 > 0:00:16The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18But it's no mean feat.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22There'll be worthy winners...
0:00:22 > 0:00:23- Sorry, sorry! - ..and valiant losers.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26So, will it be the high road to glory
0:00:26 > 0:00:27or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:27 > 0:00:29The handbrake's on!
0:00:29 > 0:00:31This is Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:35 > 0:00:37SWING MUSIC PLAYS
0:00:37 > 0:00:40On this road trip we're traversing the country in the company
0:00:40 > 0:00:43of auctioneers Anita Manning and Phil Serrell. How lovely
0:00:43 > 0:00:47Philip, did you put my coat and bag in the back?
0:00:47 > 0:00:49I've been doing television for 16 years
0:00:49 > 0:00:51and I've ended up as your lackey.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53- Do you love it?- Oh, it's great.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Philip Serrell and Anita Manning are both a little competitive.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Don't let that Anita Manning anywhere near them.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08I wonder if I could give Phil Serrell a hammering with that.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11They've had plenty of fun too so far this week,
0:01:11 > 0:01:15pootling around the country in their beautiful 1970 Fiat 500.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Having started out on this road trip with £200 each,
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Phil now has £191.80 to spend.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26After two auctions,
0:01:26 > 0:01:31Anita is storming out into the lead with £307.06.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36All right, chaps, there's still a long way to go.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38It certainly is an epic journey.
0:01:39 > 0:01:40So far, our competitive experts
0:01:40 > 0:01:43have been whizzing around the north of England.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46They started their journey in Windermere in the Lake District
0:01:46 > 0:01:50and will take a 1,200-mile tour around the north of England
0:01:50 > 0:01:53and into Scotland before heading back south
0:01:53 > 0:01:55to finish up in Crooklands in Cumbria.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Today's leg begins in Frodsham in Cheshire
0:01:59 > 0:02:03and will end up at an auction in Easingwold in Yorkshire.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04Golly gosh.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06- Have a good day.- Bye.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Time to get the shopping under way.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- Hi. Hello. How are you? I'm Phil. - Morning. I'm fine.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- Good to see you.- Jan. - What have you got there?
0:02:19 > 0:02:22It's just stuff that's just going out.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25You don't hang about, do you, Phil?
0:02:25 > 0:02:28That's a little silver-plated shoe.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29With a tape measure.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- That's quite sweet, isn't it?- Yep.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34It's a little compass.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37It's a little cauldron in ebony, but what on earth would you want...
0:02:37 > 0:02:39- A compass.- ..a compass?
0:02:39 > 0:02:41- You're not going to sort of pull it out of your pocket.- No.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42It's a collectible, isn't it?
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- Just a sweet little thing. - It's for show.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Hang on to those two and you think what you can do them for.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50I mean, I think 30 to 50. They might do 50.
0:02:50 > 0:02:51They might not.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Because I have to pay commission,
0:02:53 > 0:02:55I've got to try and buy them for just under that if I can.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- So, have a think on and let me have a wander around.- OK.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Crikey. Blink and you miss it this morning.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04That's two items Phil has his eye on
0:03:04 > 0:03:07that haven't even made it onto the shop floor.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12While he checks out the rest of the shop,
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Anita is meandering towards the Cheshire village of Sandiway
0:03:15 > 0:03:18where her first shop awaits.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24I think I look like one of those 1960s lamps.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Well, each to their own.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31In here we've got some lovely Lalique items.
0:03:31 > 0:03:37This one here has a lilac tinge which is very attractive,
0:03:37 > 0:03:39and the other one is a clear-glass.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41They're both female figures.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44They're both slightly risque,
0:03:44 > 0:03:47which is always a plus in the auction room.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Nice things.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Time to get Andy round for a closer inspection.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57- These are both more modern pieces. - They are.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58- They are very beautiful.- Mm-hm.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00I like that one for the simplicity,
0:04:00 > 0:04:03but I think I love this
0:04:03 > 0:04:05because of the wonderful opalescent hue...
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- Yeah, yeah.- ..that it has.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10If I could be buying it round about for £80...
0:04:10 > 0:04:12- I'll do my best. - ..could you have a try at that?
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- Certainly, yes.- Yeah. - Yes, certainly.- That's smashing.
0:04:15 > 0:04:21With a ticket price of £130, your best may well be required, Andy.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23All right, thank you. Bye-bye.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27- £95...- 95?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30..is she'll go to. Yeah.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32- Let me see it.- There you go.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35- Let's go for it. 95.- OK. All right.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37- Thank you very much. - Thanks very much.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39That's Anita off to a good start.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Now, how's Phil getting on?
0:04:44 > 0:04:47This is quite a fun thing, isn't it? Let's just put it up here.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- It's blooming heavy, isn't it? Solid mahogany.- It is solid.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54If I had to bet a pound on this,
0:04:54 > 0:04:59I would say that that's something that either the local undertaker
0:04:59 > 0:05:02or a blacksmith or somebody has knocked up in the village.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- Yeah.- And it's been designed like a shoebox or something like that.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09What's the best you could do on that?
0:05:09 > 0:05:1065 on it, isn't there?
0:05:10 > 0:05:12- DOG BARKS - Oh...
0:05:12 > 0:05:14See? The dog's barking in approval.
0:05:14 > 0:05:19The best we can do on that would be £35...
0:05:20 > 0:05:22..which is a good price on that.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25It's wooden, but it's not a bureau.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27How's Anita feeling?
0:05:27 > 0:05:32I'm feeling a little French, a little continental today.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35I bought a lovely piece of French glass,
0:05:35 > 0:05:37and I can see these Art Deco clocks.
0:05:37 > 0:05:42There are two here, and they are probably French as well.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44And we've got this one here,
0:05:44 > 0:05:48a garniture which is a clock and two side ornaments.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53It has this wonderful Art Deco geometric shape,
0:05:53 > 0:05:56and it's only £35.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58It's marked as a project piece
0:05:58 > 0:06:02as on closer inspection it's in need of some serious TLC,
0:06:02 > 0:06:05but Anita is keen, so Andy is back on the phone
0:06:05 > 0:06:08to see if there's a deal to be done.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10I always say to myself,
0:06:10 > 0:06:13"Don't buy anything which is defective
0:06:13 > 0:06:16"because it will struggle in the auction,"
0:06:16 > 0:06:21and I've just maybe bought a clock which has glass missing,
0:06:21 > 0:06:24a hand missing, a foot missing
0:06:24 > 0:06:27and a couple of wee chips on the garniture.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29I might've got carried away there.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31That's not like you.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Hi, Anita. Yes, she'll take £25.
0:06:33 > 0:06:3625, that's great. That's great. That's smashing.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39That's a £10 discount and Anita has another item.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Anything else catch your eye, old girl?
0:06:42 > 0:06:45This is a little Edwardian pendant
0:06:45 > 0:06:47made between 1900 and 1910.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51People were moving away from the elaborate decoration
0:06:51 > 0:06:54of Victorian jewellery into something simpler,
0:06:54 > 0:06:58and to this little pendant here, which is made of nine carat gold,
0:06:58 > 0:07:01is studded with this lovely peridot -
0:07:01 > 0:07:02this green stone -
0:07:02 > 0:07:07and encrusted with tiny, tiny, delicate little sea pearls,
0:07:07 > 0:07:13and the drop is a lovely luminous blister pearl.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16With a ticket price of £140,
0:07:16 > 0:07:18time to get onto the dealer.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Ali, it's Anita from the Antiques Road Trip
0:07:21 > 0:07:24and I have absolutely fallen in love
0:07:24 > 0:07:27with the little peridot and sea pearl pendant.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30I mean, would 85 buy it?
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Oh, that's great. Oh, that's great! Oh, I'm so happy.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Thank you very much on that. Bye-bye.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Well...
0:07:42 > 0:07:44£85.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46- Well done.- Oh, thank you very much.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50Straight out of the traps, Anita has three items for £205,
0:07:50 > 0:07:53a figure Mr Serrell can only dream of.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59But our Phil also has three things under his watchful gaze -
0:07:59 > 0:08:01the ebony miniature compass,
0:08:01 > 0:08:05the silver pincushion with wind-up tape measure
0:08:05 > 0:08:06and the mahogany box.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Any chance of a deal on the lot maybe? Stand by.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13Can I give you 60 quid for the three and I'll love you forever?
0:08:13 > 0:08:17Just say it. The words you're looking for are, "Yes, Philip."
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- HE MOCKINGLY SOBS - Do you know what?
0:08:20 > 0:08:21Just cos it's you, I will.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Oh, you're an angel. Thank you so much.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24I better pay you, haven't I?
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- I think you better.- I better pay you and run before I get thrown out.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- You've got a really good deal there. - You've given me a top deal.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Oh, yes, she has. Take it and run, Phil.
0:08:37 > 0:08:42Anita has nipped north to Warrington where she's meeting Craig Sherwood
0:08:42 > 0:08:45who is going to help her uncover the secret past
0:08:45 > 0:08:46of some everyday items.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50Behind each one is a history that not only entertained
0:08:50 > 0:08:54but influenced cultures, principles and whole societies.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58- Hi!- Hello, Anita!- I'm Anita. - Pleased to meet you.
0:09:00 > 0:09:05Board games have been around for at least 5,000 years.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09The Romans and Vikings helped spread games of strategy
0:09:09 > 0:09:10across Europe and beyond.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12The game of chess developed in India
0:09:12 > 0:09:16and later spread to Europe in the sixth century.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Such games were played mainly by adults.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21They were games of skill that developed the mind
0:09:21 > 0:09:24and were used to teach military strategy.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Some games were designed for children,
0:09:27 > 0:09:31but even then their purpose was not as an idle pastime
0:09:31 > 0:09:33but as part of their education.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Now, I remember snakes and ladders as a wee girl,
0:09:37 > 0:09:39and it was a favourite game.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Surely, that's a fairly modern board game.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Not at all. Snakes and ladders is quite an ancient game.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47We don't know exactly how old it is,
0:09:47 > 0:09:51but we believe that snakes and ladders may actually go back
0:09:51 > 0:09:52to the second century BC.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Mm-hm. And where did it come from?
0:09:54 > 0:09:57It originally came from India,
0:09:57 > 0:10:01and the original idea of the game was to teach people
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Hindu ideas of karma and rebirth.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06If you lived a good life, a good and virtuous life,
0:10:06 > 0:10:08you were sent into the heavens on a ladder.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12If you lived a life full of sin and depravity,
0:10:12 > 0:10:16you slid down the snake back to the demons and the hells.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Now, one interesting thing about these early Indian sets
0:10:19 > 0:10:22were there were always more snakes than ladders.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24It was always harder to live a good and virtuous life
0:10:24 > 0:10:27than it was to fall into sin and depravity.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Returning colonial families brought the game to Britain
0:10:30 > 0:10:32in the latter half of the 19th century.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36A flavour of its Indian roots remained in the artwork,
0:10:36 > 0:10:40giving a sense of the exotic in a time of empire,
0:10:40 > 0:10:44but the game itself was adapted to fit the Victorian lifestyle.
0:10:45 > 0:10:50If you land on this one, which is 95 and stealing,
0:10:50 > 0:10:55you will slide down this slippery slope to...prison.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- SHE LAUGHS - Absolutely.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02The Victorians replaced the Hindu ideas of karma and rebirth
0:11:02 > 0:11:05with their own Christian moral virtues.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08And interestingly, when it moved to Britain,
0:11:08 > 0:11:10the number of snakes and ladders became balanced,
0:11:10 > 0:11:13so it became 50-50 whether you ascended to heaven
0:11:13 > 0:11:15or fell into depravity.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Advocating a virtuous life through games
0:11:18 > 0:11:21has long been part of their history,
0:11:21 > 0:11:24and as board games became a regular feature in households
0:11:24 > 0:11:28at the turn of the 20th century, inventors continued the tradition
0:11:28 > 0:11:32using games to promote their own principles.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Now, there's a game that's instantly recognisable - Monopoly.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37Yes.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Do you know, it was never one of my favourites.
0:11:40 > 0:11:45I always felt that Monopoly was about greed and acquisition
0:11:45 > 0:11:49and getting things off of other people.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Well, it is now, but would you believe it
0:11:51 > 0:11:54that it was originally designed to teach people
0:11:54 > 0:11:55the principles of socialism?
0:11:56 > 0:11:59In 1904, an American called Lizzie Magie
0:11:59 > 0:12:03received the patent for The Landlord's Game.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04Lizzie was a trailblazer.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07At the turn of the century, a young, single woman,
0:12:07 > 0:12:10she worked as a stenographer, was a published writer,
0:12:10 > 0:12:13an outspoken feminist and believed in progressive economics.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17She wanted to do something to ease what she saw
0:12:17 > 0:12:19as great inequalities in society.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22At the age of 26,
0:12:22 > 0:12:26she decided that she could use a board game to open people's minds
0:12:26 > 0:12:29to a more socialist way of thinking.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Her game, like the later versions,
0:12:32 > 0:12:37featured money, deeds and properties, but it had some very different rules.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Her game promoted a theory that land should belong to everyone.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43She hoped the game would demonstrate
0:12:43 > 0:12:47that rent made property owners richer and their tenants poorer.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53The original idea of the game was that all the players
0:12:53 > 0:12:56would put money into the centre rather than pay one another,
0:12:56 > 0:12:58the landlords, the rent,
0:12:58 > 0:13:00and at various points during the game,
0:13:00 > 0:13:03all the players would take money out from this community chest
0:13:03 > 0:13:06and it was distributed for the common good.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09That sounds much better than the game it is today.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13How did it change into this sort of capitalist thing, then?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Well, 30 years later,
0:13:15 > 0:13:19a gentleman by the name of Charles Darrow played the game.
0:13:19 > 0:13:20Now, he liked the game,
0:13:20 > 0:13:23but he didn't like the principles underlying it.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25So, he rewrote the rules so it became
0:13:25 > 0:13:27all about becoming as rich as possible
0:13:27 > 0:13:29and bankrupting all the other players.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30He changed the name to Monopoly
0:13:30 > 0:13:33and it became one of the most popular games in the world.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37The popularity of board games continues to grow,
0:13:37 > 0:13:40and to this day, the simple items that have been
0:13:40 > 0:13:42at the heart of family lives for so long
0:13:42 > 0:13:45continue to sell in their millions.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Thank you very, very much, Craig.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50It's been very interesting.
0:13:50 > 0:13:51Thank you, Anita.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Now back to our own contest.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Phil is out and about in Barnton
0:13:58 > 0:14:00in search of his next bargain
0:14:00 > 0:14:03at Northwich Antiques Centre.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11I quite like these old pub tables.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15A lot of them, the value is in whose mark is here,
0:14:15 > 0:14:18so you can get some with Queen Victoria,
0:14:18 > 0:14:20you can get some with WG Grace,
0:14:20 > 0:14:22and they're really, really collectible.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25This one is fairly standard. They're pub tables.
0:14:25 > 0:14:30You know, now they get used...
0:14:30 > 0:14:32outside as garden tables.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35What does David have to say about it?
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- The pub table, I quite like that. It's an old one.- It is, yeah.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42- It's Victorian. Copper-topped. - Yeah.- Big iron base.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46- We've got it up for 125...- Right.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49..but...willing to come down a little bit.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51- It's not a little bit, David. - Well, what you talking about?
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Well, I've got to put this into auction,
0:14:54 > 0:14:56so if I see that making £50 to £80,
0:14:56 > 0:14:57I've got to try to buy it for 40 quid.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- 40?- Mm.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- Perhaps...- Well, think about it. Let's just think about it.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03Let's just have a look.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Not only is David very accommodating
0:15:05 > 0:15:07in the face of your discount request, Phil,
0:15:07 > 0:15:10but you've also got him doing all the carting, you cheeky beggar.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Are they both the same price, this one and that one there?
0:15:13 > 0:15:15- Yes.- Can I have a look at the...
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Do you mind if we get it out and have a look?
0:15:17 > 0:15:19- By all means. - I'm sorry to be an absolute...
0:15:19 > 0:15:21- That's OK.- ..pain.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Someone's painted a Britannia flag on this one, haven't they?
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Sounds like he prefers the first table,
0:15:29 > 0:15:31but will David take his £40 offer?
0:15:33 > 0:15:36- That one, yeah? - Blimey. That was a quick deal.
0:15:36 > 0:15:41David generously accepts and Phil gets the table at an £85 discount.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- Tell you what, you've been really kind to me. Thank you.- OK.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46That's another item for Phil,
0:15:46 > 0:15:50and it ends a very productive day all round.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Time for a well-deserved kip, you two.
0:15:53 > 0:15:54Nighty-night.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58The sun is shining and the roof is down
0:15:58 > 0:16:01on our glamorous Italian icon.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03You know what they say, Anita, don't you?
0:16:03 > 0:16:06The sun always shines on the righteous.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08The sun is shining on me this morning.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11I know, but it's shining on me as well.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15This morning, our lovely Anita is bound for the village of Sabden
0:16:15 > 0:16:17in the scenic Ribble Valley.
0:16:17 > 0:16:18- Bye!- Bye.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22She's visiting Pendle Antiques.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26CLINKING
0:16:26 > 0:16:27Careful, Anita.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Now, what's this she's found?
0:16:32 > 0:16:36Now, this is an interesting set of chairs here.
0:16:38 > 0:16:43These are in the style of Arne Jacobsen,
0:16:43 > 0:16:46a Danish designer.
0:16:46 > 0:16:52In the 1950s, he perfected the design of chairs
0:16:52 > 0:16:59where the back of it was made of one piece of moulded plywood.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02This was a ground-breaking design.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06This 1980s plastic set is priced at £120.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Now, with just over 100 left in her pocket,
0:17:09 > 0:17:12can she sweet-talk dealer Walter?
0:17:12 > 0:17:16Hiya, Philip. I have a young lady here who would like a word with you.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18OK, just a sec.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Hey, Philip. Did you hear Walter calling me a young lady?
0:17:23 > 0:17:26SHE LAUGHS
0:17:26 > 0:17:30Can I make you an offer of £70?
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Oh, you're an absolute darling.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Thank you. Bye-bye.
0:17:39 > 0:17:40£70.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Great. I'm happy.
0:17:42 > 0:17:43Let me shake your hand.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Excellent work, Anita.
0:17:46 > 0:17:51Reunited, our pair are headed for the city of Lancaster.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54And they're sharing the next shop too.
0:17:54 > 0:17:59It's up to father and son Alan and Jimmy to help our pair navigate.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Somewhere or other,
0:18:02 > 0:18:05there's going to be an absolute steal of a bargain,
0:18:05 > 0:18:07and all you've got to do is find it.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13Ah-ha! And Phil finds fastest.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15So, this is an old boot scraper.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18It would've been outside someone's front door, wouldn't it?
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- Well, yeah.- You just put your foot on there and just do that.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Yes, that's for scraping.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28But I think the curve underneath was to actually put your boot
0:18:28 > 0:18:30underneath and help to loosen it.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Oh, right. Right.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36So, it helped you get it off as well as scrape it clean.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39You see, at auction, I think that's going to make £30 to £50.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41I've got to try it for £20, £25.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44That's where... Which is tough, but can we just...
0:18:44 > 0:18:46- Let's put it back there.- Yeah.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Tough indeed. Its ticket price is £68.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Now, any luck, Anita?
0:18:54 > 0:18:55- Hi.- Hi, Anita.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59I had a look at this parasol here. Quite liked that.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02- OK.- It's small, it's dainty.- Yeah.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04And I think it just...
0:19:04 > 0:19:07I think there's quite a bit of age to it as well, isn't there?
0:19:07 > 0:19:08- Yeah.- It's...
0:19:08 > 0:19:12- What I do have, though, is damage there.- Right. OK.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16- And in textiles, damage is very important.- Yeah.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18And I think I've had a repair here.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20In fact, I have had repair.
0:19:20 > 0:19:21- There.- Yeah.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Let me see if it suits you.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Probably not as well as you, to be honest.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27- Aw! - SHE LAUGHS
0:19:27 > 0:19:32- So, it's priced at £44 at the moment.- But it is damaged.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35- Yeah, I'm taking on board exactly what you're saying.- Mm-hm.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38How's £25 sound?
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Would 22 buy it?
0:19:40 > 0:19:41Go on, then.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43- Shall we do it? - Yeah. Absolutely.- OK.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47- That's great.- I'll be sad to see it go cos I like twirling it myself.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- SHE LAUGHS - I saw it first!
0:19:50 > 0:19:52That's half price for the parasol.
0:19:55 > 0:19:56What has Phil found?
0:19:56 > 0:19:58I quite like these. They're different, aren't they?
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Yeah, very authentic.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02- These would've been sat in an office.- Correct.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06I'm not actually sure that these drawers all match,
0:20:06 > 0:20:09but I kind of think it doesn't matter.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12They're that shabby side of shabby chic, aren't they?
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Well, I don't know how much they are cos there's no price,
0:20:14 > 0:20:16but, I mean, I think...
0:20:16 > 0:20:19HE TAPS Easy, Phil.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22I don't think that base has got anything to do with it, has it?
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- It just does the job. - It does the job, exactly.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- The stone wrought-iron step thing that we saw earlier...- Yes.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30..and these chests...
0:20:30 > 0:20:32I've got to try and buy the two for 40.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34How is that going to...?
0:20:34 > 0:20:38Well, I think we could do 50, Phil.
0:20:38 > 0:20:4145, would that squeeze you?
0:20:41 > 0:20:43- 45 is probably the right price. - You're a gentlemen.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Thank you ever so, ever so much.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Now, where would we find Anita?
0:20:48 > 0:20:52I'm just looking at a nice Victorian brooch.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Now, I wanted to spend all my money,
0:20:55 > 0:20:59but I still have £10.06 left.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03This brooch here, Victorian brooch...
0:21:03 > 0:21:07It won't be gold. It will be pinchbeck or rolled gold
0:21:07 > 0:21:10with a very nice citrine in the middle.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13It's priced at £18.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17What I'm going to do is I'm going to say to Jimmy,
0:21:17 > 0:21:22"Can I buy that for £10.06?" and see what happens.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Only one way to find out.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26- Can I have a wee look at that one? - Absolutely.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28It's been...
0:21:28 > 0:21:31They've polished it and cleaned it up beautifully.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34- Not gold. Rolled gold or pinchbeck. - Yeah.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36It's priced at £18.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38That's the only thing.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42I've got £10.06.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Can I buy this for £10.06?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49As long as you add the six pence to the ten pounds, we've got a deal.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51- Oh, that's great.- Thank you.
0:21:51 > 0:21:56I've spent every single penny, and that's what I wanted to do.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00With that bold move from Anita, all our shopping is done.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07Phil spent £145 on a silver-plated pincushion
0:22:07 > 0:22:08and miniature compass,
0:22:08 > 0:22:13a 19th-century mahogany box, a copper-topped pub table,
0:22:13 > 0:22:18a wrought-iron boot scraper and a set of vintage drawers.
0:22:20 > 0:22:25Anita cleared out every last penny of her £307.06,
0:22:25 > 0:22:28picking up a Lalique figurine,
0:22:28 > 0:22:30an Art Deco clock garniture,
0:22:30 > 0:22:33a set of plastic chairs,
0:22:33 > 0:22:34a Victorian parasol
0:22:34 > 0:22:39and a gold pendant that she's now pairing with her yellow metal brooch.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45What do they say about their opponent's finds?
0:22:45 > 0:22:48If you're going to buy a piece of French glass, you buy Lalique.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51It's the best, and Anita has done just that.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54I hope for her sake the people of Yorkshire really appreciate it too.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Phil Serrell has bought well this time.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01The boot scraper is just down his street,
0:23:01 > 0:23:05and I think he could double his money on that.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09So, with hope in their hearts, it's off to the auction.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11After starting this leg in Frodsham,
0:23:11 > 0:23:15our pair have zipped their way through Cheshire and Lancashire
0:23:15 > 0:23:18and are ending up in Easingwold in North Yorkshire.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21This should be fun, Philip.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24- SHE LAUGHS - Here we go again. Into the coliseum.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28The lions are waiting for me. Look. Oh, no!
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Summersgills Auctions are a family-run affair
0:23:31 > 0:23:35and have been striking the gavel in Yorkshire since 1959.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39Auctioneer Tim Summersgill is taking care of proceedings today.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41First lot. Keep your fingers crossed.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45Our first lot of the day is Anita's parasol.

0:23:55 > 0:23:57A feeling of deja vu at the moment.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01No-one else come in. We're selling. £30. 61.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Ha! A great profit to start us off.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Not a big profit.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09- No, no, no.- Fair. Fair.- Just another little profit. Well done, you.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Next up is Phil's mahogany box.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Bids all over, so we're straight in at £90 for this one.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17- Oh!- £90 bid on this. 95 anywhere else?
0:24:17 > 0:24:20On commission at £90.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22All out in the room?

0:24:26 > 0:24:29Going for a maiden commission bid,
0:24:29 > 0:24:32that great profit has sure floored Phil.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35- I'll settle for that. That's really good, isn't it?- That's fabulous.
0:24:35 > 0:24:36Yeah.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Anita got carried away with the clock.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Let's hope the bidders do the same.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- Straight in at 25 on this one. - 25.- 25 bid on commission.

0:24:57 > 0:25:00On the internet at 45.
0:25:00 > 0:25:05There was no need to worry, as Anita lands another profit.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07- I'm happy with that.- Oh, yeah, yeah. - Are you happy for me?
0:25:07 > 0:25:11Oh, I'm over the moon. Absolutely over the moon.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Always good to see some friendly support, eh, Phil?
0:25:14 > 0:25:16They caught his eye at the counter,
0:25:16 > 0:25:20but will his compass and pincushion bring him a profit?
0:25:20 > 0:25:2420 straight in. £20 bid on this. 25 anywhere else?
0:25:24 > 0:25:26- 25. 28 here.- Good, good, good.

0:25:30 > 0:25:32Your bid, sir, at £30.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Aw. No gain, no pain.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37It's a small loss after costs,
0:25:37 > 0:25:40but there's plenty of time to make that back.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Never mind. You're a mere man.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47Sometimes you do make mistakes, you know. You can't help it.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Hey, let's hope there's no mistake
0:25:49 > 0:25:52with your Danish-design-inspired chairs then, Anita.

0:26:05 > 0:26:06That's OK.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just another little profit, isn't it?
0:26:09 > 0:26:13Certainly is. Another profit, then, for Anita.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15It's just a tiny, tiny little profit.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18- IMITATES HER:- It's just a tiny little wee profit!
0:26:19 > 0:26:23But there's time to catch up, Phil. Your boot scraper is next.

0:26:39 > 0:26:41- Well done. - That'll do, won't it? That'll do.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45It's one of Anita's big-money purchases.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Will it set pulses racing?
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Straight in at £50 on this one. £50 on this.

0:27:02 > 0:27:03Uh-oh.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06That's the first loss of the day for Anita
0:27:06 > 0:27:07and opens the door for Phil.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10It could've been a lot worse, Phil.
0:27:10 > 0:27:15Now Phil's holding out hope for his vintage drawers! Yes.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17I am like them - bang on trend.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19- Yeah?- Yeah.- Uh-huh.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Can tell that by the anoraks you wear.
0:27:21 > 0:27:2391 is the Oriental light...
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Bids again, so straight in at 45 bid on this.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- 45. Well done.- 45. 48. 50.
0:27:28 > 0:27:34Five. 60. Five. 70 at the back. 75. 80. 85.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37- Oh, brilliant. Brilliant. - 90. 95. 100 for you, Sean.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41All done at £100? All out?
0:27:43 > 0:27:44Brilliant.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48A fantastic 300% profit for Phil.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51What's really mad about this business is that has just made
0:27:51 > 0:27:54the same sort of money that a Victorian chest of drawers has made.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57- Yeah.- And that's madness, isn't it?- Mm-hm.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01Mad it may be, but it puts you right back in the running, Phil.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Anita's turn now with her pendant and brooch.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06I mean, I wouldn't wish ill on you, Anita,
0:28:06 > 0:28:08cos you're very dear and old friend of mine,
0:28:08 > 0:28:12but it would be ever so nice if they paid 20 quid, wouldn't it?
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Bids all over on these, so straight in at 90 again.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18£90 on these. 95 anywhere else?
0:28:18 > 0:28:20All done, then? £90.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Don't miss them for a fiver.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Last chance.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28Someone picked them up without a fight and for a great price,
0:28:28 > 0:28:30and it's more good news for Phil.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32- I was glad I bought them. - Fair play to you.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35You spent every penny, and I don't think you've lost...
0:28:35 > 0:28:36It's a dangerous strategy, that,
0:28:36 > 0:28:39and I don't think you've actually lost that much money.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Phil's final lot is his pub table.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46Straight in at £40 on this one. £40. 45. 50.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48Five. 60. Five. 70.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50Five. 80.
0:28:50 > 0:28:5290. 100.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55110. 110, then.
0:28:55 > 0:28:56- 110.- I'm surprised.- Yeah.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59120. 130. 130.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02140, is it? 140. 150.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04150 right across that side.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Well, well done, anyway.
0:29:08 > 0:29:09Yeah, I should say so.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Phil is stunned, and it's a cracking profit.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15What a great way to round up today's auction.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19You've done well. Congratulations.
0:29:19 > 0:29:20Let's go.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22So, what does that do to the totals?
0:29:23 > 0:29:28Anita made the daring move of spending all of her £307.06.
0:29:28 > 0:29:34After costs, she made a small loss of £48.76,
0:29:34 > 0:29:37taking her total to £258.30.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43Phil's in the pink after today's display.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47Starting off with £191.80,
0:29:47 > 0:29:52he made a fantastic £207.60 profit after costs,
0:29:52 > 0:29:55giving him the win today and swinging him into
0:29:55 > 0:29:59the overall lead with a total of £399.40.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01Well done, Phil.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05I'm not used to these dizzy heights.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07You've romped ahead athletically.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11- It's all just turned the tables, hasn't it?- It certainly has.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13Forward to the next leg, Phil.
0:30:14 > 0:30:20Too right! We're off onto the fourth instalment with Anita and Phil.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Get out of it!
0:30:24 > 0:30:29Do you not like being caressed by a beautiful Scottish girl, Philip?
0:30:29 > 0:30:32- Your knees are irresistible!- I know.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35A lot of people have said that through the years. Nothing else.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37- Just my knees.- Quite.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39Ha!
0:30:39 > 0:30:43Today's journey begins in the village of Amble in Northumberland,
0:30:43 > 0:30:46and we will auction in Carlisle in Cumbria.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50Anita's playing catch-up now, and nestled here
0:30:50 > 0:30:54in the village of Amble is her first shop of the day.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56And they love a bit of vintage in here.
0:31:00 > 0:31:04With eagle-eyed precision, Anita finds something.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Hey, snazzy shoes!
0:31:06 > 0:31:09I think this is quite a sweet little thing.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12It's a little three-legged milking stool,
0:31:12 > 0:31:17but what I like about this is the illustration.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20What's that all about?
0:31:20 > 0:31:24It may well have been sold at Widecombe Fair,
0:31:24 > 0:31:29but what I can tell you is the ticket price is £23.
0:31:29 > 0:31:30Anything else(?)
0:31:32 > 0:31:37I think that this has got bags of style.
0:31:37 > 0:31:42It's a table lamp and a little cabinet.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45You were getting away from heavy, clumsy furniture
0:31:45 > 0:31:49into something which had what we call the New Look.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54It's priced at £72. Time for a chat with Tony, eh?
0:31:55 > 0:32:00I thought that this lamp-cabinet affair...
0:32:00 > 0:32:03- Oh, OK.- ..was very good fun.- Yes.
0:32:03 > 0:32:07- On the ticket, it tells us that it needs rewired.- Yes.
0:32:07 > 0:32:12Is there a drop-dead price that you could sell that for?
0:32:12 > 0:32:16Simply because of the rewiring issue.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Do you want to make me an offer?
0:32:18 > 0:32:21- An offer that you can't refuse?- Yes! - THEY LAUGH
0:32:21 > 0:32:28I would be looking to pay maybe round about £40 for it,
0:32:28 > 0:32:31- but I don't know if you can come down that far...- Yes, yes.
0:32:31 > 0:32:36I could come down to probably about £50.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38- 50?- How would you feel about that?
0:32:38 > 0:32:41I know... I mean, to me it's certainly worth that,
0:32:41 > 0:32:44- but I have to sell it in auction, you know?- Yes, yes, of course.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47- And that's the thing on it.- Yes. - Um...
0:32:47 > 0:32:49How about 45? Would that...
0:32:49 > 0:32:5045 sounds fine to me.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52- Is that all right, are you sure? - Yes, that's fine.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55- Oh, thank you very much! - Good luck with that.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57What about the milking stool, then?
0:32:57 > 0:33:00But there was something else that I liked the look of,
0:33:00 > 0:33:04and it was this little novelty milking stool.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07- Ah, yes.- What's the best that you can do on that?
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Well, we've got 23...
0:33:09 > 0:33:15I could do a special price for, what, £12 for that?
0:33:15 > 0:33:19Put it there! Lovely. £12, I'm delighted with that.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22I think that it's just an absolutely fun thing.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Good work, Anita.
0:33:29 > 0:33:34Phil is easing into this leg. He's journeyed northwards
0:33:34 > 0:33:37to the coastal village of Bamburgh in Northumberland.
0:33:39 > 0:33:43The area boasts one of the largest castles in the country.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Not just a magnificent landmark,
0:33:45 > 0:33:49this castle was once the centre of a revolutionary social movement.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53Before the NHS and the welfare state,
0:33:53 > 0:33:56Bamburgh Castle played host to a utilitarian society,
0:33:56 > 0:33:59providing health care, education
0:33:59 > 0:34:02and the country's first lifeboat station.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07Phil is meeting with curator Chris Calvert to find out more.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10- Hi, I'm Philip. - Hi, I'm Chris. How're you?
0:34:10 > 0:34:12You know, I don't know this part of the world,
0:34:12 > 0:34:16- but this is just absolutely stunning, isn't it?- Beautiful.
0:34:16 > 0:34:22In 1758, local man and vicar Dr John Sharp became the head
0:34:22 > 0:34:24of the Crew Trust, set up by the owners
0:34:24 > 0:34:25of the castle to manage affairs.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30He was given full control of running the estate
0:34:30 > 0:34:33and, as a great philanthropist, he set about creating
0:34:33 > 0:34:36a much-needed life support for the people of Bamburgh.
0:34:37 > 0:34:41- If that a windmill?- It certainly was in its heyday, yes.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43What's a castle doing with a windmill?
0:34:43 > 0:34:47We go back to the Crew Trustees - when they owned the castle,
0:34:47 > 0:34:51John Sharp realised that corn was getting very expensive,
0:34:51 > 0:34:56and he got the Crew Trustees to agree to buy in corn
0:34:56 > 0:35:00he could then sell to the poor people - corn at a reasonable cost.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03And then from that came the windmills so that they could then
0:35:03 > 0:35:07come up, and they could grind their own corn for free in the windmill.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Free education was next on his agenda.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13A local school was set up within the castle,
0:35:13 > 0:35:17teaching children who would have otherwise no access to learning.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20They're the original schoolbooks, yeah, from the 1700s.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24There are two schoolbooks here... Obviously mathematics was very big.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27- Division and logarithms? - I know, very complicated isn't it?
0:35:27 > 0:35:29So we've got logarithm...
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Well, this is all mathematical, really, isn't it?
0:35:31 > 0:35:33What else did they teach here?
0:35:33 > 0:35:35They taught reading, as well, and writing.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38But they were taught practical skills as well, later on,
0:35:38 > 0:35:41so they were taught sewing and they were taught spinning,
0:35:41 > 0:35:43hence the spinning wheel that we have here.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45So it was always an industry for life, wasn't it?
0:35:45 > 0:35:48It is, it's giving them life skills. I mean real life skills.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51And I can see, clearly, all our mathematical stuff here,
0:35:51 > 0:35:55we've got the children's chairs and we've got the spinning wheel
0:35:55 > 0:35:59that they worked on, but why have we got a sedan chair here?
0:35:59 > 0:36:02Well, it's normally associated with the aristocrats and the gentry
0:36:02 > 0:36:04for getting carried around town in,
0:36:04 > 0:36:06but this one was actually used as an ambulance.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15In 1772, Dr Sharp opened a surgery here,
0:36:15 > 0:36:17providing free medical care and supplies.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19By the end of the decade,
0:36:19 > 0:36:22the surgery was treating over 1,500 patients a year.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29The original surgery and dispensary hasn't survived,
0:36:29 > 0:36:33but Dr John Sharp is still very much present.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35The painting embodies everything he did here, really,
0:36:35 > 0:36:38with his plans for the castle, the development of the castle,
0:36:38 > 0:36:40the surgery, the dispensary...
0:36:40 > 0:36:41The poor people there either
0:36:41 > 0:36:43thanking him for the treatment they've received
0:36:43 > 0:36:46or maybe beseeching him to take their children into the school.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49And through the window over his shoulder there,
0:36:49 > 0:36:51- you can see that there's a ship foundering.- Oh, yeah.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58Dr John Sharp was troubled by the shipwrecks
0:36:58 > 0:37:00on the perilous Bamburgh coastline.
0:37:00 > 0:37:04Determined to make the seas as safe as possible, he created a pioneering
0:37:04 > 0:37:08coastguard system thought to be the first of its kind in the world.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11So if there was a ship that was in distress...
0:37:12 > 0:37:17..the coastguard, Sharp's coastguard saw it, and I mean
0:37:17 > 0:37:20if it was sinking or whatever, did they help them, or what happened?
0:37:20 > 0:37:24Yes, they had a system of signals using these guns here.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26These are actually the guns used.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28And they would signal to the villagers with the smaller gun
0:37:28 > 0:37:31and then had a larger gun that was used to signal to the ships
0:37:31 > 0:37:35- that help was on its way.- And what sort of help would it have been?
0:37:35 > 0:37:37Manpower, basically.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39So any sailors that were injured or whatever,
0:37:39 > 0:37:40what would have happened to them?
0:37:40 > 0:37:44Well, they were treated here and any sailors that unfortunately drowned,
0:37:44 > 0:37:46their funerals and their coffins
0:37:46 > 0:37:49were paid for by the Crew Trustees here.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52Where did all the money come from to fund this?
0:37:52 > 0:37:54He put up a lot of it himself.
0:37:54 > 0:37:58But the Crew Trustees did have quite extensive lands, as well.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03The lifeboat station was successfully managed until the 1860s,
0:38:03 > 0:38:06when it was taken over by the RNLI.
0:38:06 > 0:38:11Not only did Dr Sharp begin the quest to make our seas safe,
0:38:11 > 0:38:14but he also created a miniature welfare state
0:38:14 > 0:38:17that lasted at Bamburgh for over 100 years.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21Chris, it's been absolutely fantastic.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23You'd better show me out, because this place is so big,
0:38:23 > 0:38:27- I've got to go and find that dreadful little car. - CHRIS LAUGHS
0:38:29 > 0:38:33Anita's travelled south west, to the Northumbrian town of Corbridge,
0:38:33 > 0:38:36where she's visiting Corbridge Antiques Centre.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39With over 30 dealers here,
0:38:39 > 0:38:42Anita should be able to snaffle up something.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44We know how she loves to shop.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48I've already seen something that I quite like.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50Great!
0:38:50 > 0:38:53Down here... It's made of pine,
0:38:53 > 0:38:59and it's a little Art Deco doll's three-piece suite.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03Alison is on hand, to get it out of the cabinet.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07It's been quite simply made,
0:39:07 > 0:39:14maybe by an amateur carpenter or maybe even by an apprentice.
0:39:14 > 0:39:20But it's got that 1930s, 1940s Art Deco look about it,
0:39:20 > 0:39:22which I think's quite charming.
0:39:22 > 0:39:26- If that was life-sized, I wouldn't mind it myself.- Yeah!
0:39:26 > 0:39:30Me too, Anita. And it's a snip at £14.
0:39:30 > 0:39:34Is there any movement on that, Ali?
0:39:34 > 0:39:38- Could do the set for £12.- £12?- Yeah.
0:39:38 > 0:39:43- I think I might take that.- Yeah? - Thank you very, very much.
0:39:43 > 0:39:48£12 secures the little Art Deco-style three-piece suite.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53As for Phil, he's journeyed south to the city of Newcastle.
0:39:54 > 0:39:58And his first shop of the day is run by Giuseppe.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09Giuseppe, what's that trunk underneath there, how much is that?
0:40:09 > 0:40:12Er, we'll get it out. It's one of the cleanest ones...
0:40:14 > 0:40:15..that I've ever had.
0:40:17 > 0:40:22- All the original address there, come via Dieppe to Newhaven.- Yeah.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24Unusual to have the key.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33- There we go. - PHIL GASPS
0:40:33 > 0:40:35140 quid.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Are you all right there, Phil?
0:40:38 > 0:40:41Undecided on the trunk, he moves on.
0:40:41 > 0:40:45- 25, Scottish Masonic. - That's quite nice.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49No great age. How do you know it's Scottish?
0:40:49 > 0:40:51Well, because it's shaped like a thistle.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53And it's a firing glass.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55- Right.- So you would drink your toast
0:40:55 > 0:40:57and then it would be... banged on the table.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00And that is why it's got such a thick bottom,
0:41:00 > 0:41:02if you'll pardon the expression.
0:41:02 > 0:41:06- That might be a possibility.- OK. - That might well be a possibility.
0:41:06 > 0:41:10Masonic items can be very sought-after at auction.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13That could be a good choice, Phil.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15- This is a Masonic jewel.- Right.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18It's no big deal, but it's just a nice little Masonic jewel.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20It's priced at £18.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24Well, I might be interested, perhaps, if I could...
0:41:24 > 0:41:26- Do a deal on...?- On the two, yeah.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28Both belong to different concessions,
0:41:28 > 0:41:29but I'm sure we could do something.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32- That's your problem, my friend. - GIUSEPPE LAUGHS
0:41:32 > 0:41:33- Not mine.- Mmm, charming!
0:41:33 > 0:41:36The Masonic jewel is another possibility,
0:41:36 > 0:41:39and Phil's got his eye on another big wooden trunk.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42Uh-oh!
0:41:42 > 0:41:45What's that one up there, then? How much is that one?
0:41:45 > 0:41:47That one's cheap and cheerful. 40 quid.
0:41:47 > 0:41:52Well - that's a good bit cheaper than his first trunk.
0:41:52 > 0:41:53Go on, Nelly.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55I'll give you 30 quid for it.
0:41:55 > 0:41:5635.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59You know those... That little bit of Masonic glass?
0:41:59 > 0:42:01- And that little jewel thing? - Yeah.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Could I buy...
0:42:05 > 0:42:07- ..the three bits off you for 60 quid?- Which three?
0:42:07 > 0:42:11The glass, the jewel and that trunk.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14No.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Wasn't an ounce of emotion there, was there? Just nothing at all.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21- I'll meet you in the middle. - What's that, 65?- 65.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25- Giuseppe, you've been as good as gold, mate.- Thank you very much.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27£65 the three, you're a gent. Thank you.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29- No problem, best of luck. - Bye-bye, now.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31Phil now has two lots.
0:42:31 > 0:42:35£30 for the Masonic firing glass and jewel,
0:42:35 > 0:42:37and £35 for the wooden trunk.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42This signals the end of a very busy day.
0:42:42 > 0:42:47It's time for our weary duo to turn in and get some shut-eye.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49Nighty-night.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56It's a brand-new day. Now - where are we?
0:42:58 > 0:42:59Do you know what?
0:42:59 > 0:43:02We have traversed from one side of England to the other side.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05- I don't know how that happened. - And where are we now?
0:43:05 > 0:43:07Bonnie Scotland!
0:43:07 > 0:43:08Aye!
0:43:09 > 0:43:12That's right, Anita. They've crossed the border,
0:43:12 > 0:43:17and Phil is going for a shop in the town of Moffat in Dumfriesshire.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21What will he uncover in here?
0:43:23 > 0:43:24And he's off...!
0:43:31 > 0:43:35I quite like that. That's just a company seal.
0:43:35 > 0:43:39And one of the requirements, if you were an incorporated company,
0:43:39 > 0:43:42was that... I think you had your business articles,
0:43:42 > 0:43:45but you also had THE company seal.
0:43:45 > 0:43:50That's a precursor of a publishing package on a computer.
0:43:50 > 0:43:53That's priced at £79, which is a whole load of money.
0:43:53 > 0:43:56But it's a bit of fun, isn't it?
0:43:56 > 0:43:58That's a possibility, isn't it, you know?
0:43:58 > 0:44:02Phil's seeks out the lovely Linda to find out more.
0:44:02 > 0:44:04So that... I just thought that was quite nice.
0:44:04 > 0:44:06I don't know what on earth you'd ever do with it.
0:44:06 > 0:44:11It is nice. I mean, as you say, probably not a lot of practical use.
0:44:11 > 0:44:15- No, but I just think it's sort of... - It's very decorative.
0:44:15 > 0:44:16Yeah, it is, isn't it?
0:44:16 > 0:44:20I think at auction, that might be £40-£60 worth.
0:44:20 > 0:44:22What would be the very best you could do that for?
0:44:22 > 0:44:24Bottom line on it, 30.
0:44:24 > 0:44:25OK.
0:44:27 > 0:44:29- I think I'd like that.- Certainly.
0:44:29 > 0:44:32I think I'd like that, but I'm going to leave it there,
0:44:32 > 0:44:33because there's a couple of other things
0:44:33 > 0:44:36- I want to look at on the way out.- OK.- He sounds keen.
0:44:36 > 0:44:40And Linda's treating him to a special part of the shop. Ooh-ah!
0:44:40 > 0:44:43If you want to come through here, we'll go upstairs.
0:44:43 > 0:44:46- So, Linda, this is sort of the hidden storage area?- It is.
0:44:46 > 0:44:49This is where all the old antiques go to die.
0:44:49 > 0:44:50Blimey.
0:44:50 > 0:44:52Lord above.
0:44:52 > 0:44:56So this is basically where things just get brought up until...
0:44:56 > 0:45:00either they go out or get sent auction.
0:45:00 > 0:45:03I like the ladders, how much are they?
0:45:03 > 0:45:06I think we actually use them, dare I say!
0:45:06 > 0:45:07SHE LAUGHS
0:45:07 > 0:45:10This is not a shop, it's a museum! Actually, it IS a museum, isn't it?
0:45:10 > 0:45:12Well, the floor downstairs, yes.
0:45:12 > 0:45:15So the ladders are definitely not for sale?
0:45:15 > 0:45:18I think they're definitely still in use.
0:45:18 > 0:45:22- Do you know, I don't think those confirm to health and safety rules. - SHE LAUGHS
0:45:22 > 0:45:24I think they're dangerous.
0:45:24 > 0:45:27You don't want to be clambering up stuff like that.
0:45:27 > 0:45:29I think Linda might see through that, Phil!
0:45:31 > 0:45:35After a snoop about, he's just got one thing on his mind.
0:45:35 > 0:45:39I've spoken to my husband, who's the one who uses the ladders,
0:45:39 > 0:45:43and he said depending on what you're prepared to offer,
0:45:43 > 0:45:45he might let you have them.
0:45:45 > 0:45:48It'll be 30 quid, something like that.
0:45:49 > 0:45:5130...
0:45:52 > 0:45:5435?
0:45:54 > 0:45:57So if I did 60 for the stamper thing and the ladders,
0:45:57 > 0:45:59how would that grab you?
0:45:59 > 0:46:01I suppose we could. Seeing as it's you.
0:46:01 > 0:46:04You're an angel. You're an angel, thank you so much.
0:46:04 > 0:46:09Success! £30 for the ladders, and £30 for the seal press.
0:46:10 > 0:46:11Nice one, Phil!
0:46:15 > 0:46:19Back together again, our pair remain in Dumfries & Galloway,
0:46:19 > 0:46:21heading for the village of New Abbey.
0:46:21 > 0:46:25- So we've got one last shop between us, haven't we?- Yes.
0:46:25 > 0:46:27- I know what you could buy.- What?
0:46:27 > 0:46:29- IN MOCK SCOTS ACCENT: - A nice wee brooch!
0:46:29 > 0:46:30Philip!
0:46:30 > 0:46:34The mischief-makers are sharing their last shop of the day.
0:46:36 > 0:46:39Bit of a tight squeeze there, Phil!
0:46:39 > 0:46:40After you, my dear.
0:46:40 > 0:46:43- Ah, thank you, darling! What a gentleman.- After you.
0:46:43 > 0:46:45Well, he can be, sometimes.
0:46:45 > 0:46:47Anita's visited Admirable Antiques before.
0:46:47 > 0:46:50- Hello, guys!- Hello!- It's lovely, lovely, lovely to see you!
0:46:50 > 0:46:53I've brought my wee pal along today.
0:46:53 > 0:46:55I've brought my wee pal along, as well.
0:46:55 > 0:46:56SHE LAUGHS
0:46:58 > 0:47:01Phil's got over £270 to play with.
0:47:01 > 0:47:04On the way in, there was a curling stone.
0:47:04 > 0:47:07I'm in Scotland, it would be a real shame not to buy something Scottish.
0:47:07 > 0:47:10Unfortunately, it didn't look like it's got a handle with it,
0:47:10 > 0:47:13but I'm going to go and have a word with the boss man.
0:47:13 > 0:47:15Ian's the man.
0:47:15 > 0:47:18- When I came in, you've got a curling stone out there...- Oh, yes.
0:47:18 > 0:47:20..that doesn't have a handle on it.
0:47:20 > 0:47:22- You have another handle, have you? - Unfortunately not.
0:47:22 > 0:47:25You haven't got anything else like that? That's peculiarly Scottish.
0:47:25 > 0:47:30- I've got a tiny one that you might be interested in.- Can I have a look?
0:47:30 > 0:47:31Blimey, that is a tiny one.
0:47:31 > 0:47:33And there we are.
0:47:33 > 0:47:35- And is that...- An exact copy.
0:47:36 > 0:47:39- Miniature.- These are from Ailsa Craig, aren't they?
0:47:39 > 0:47:41- Indeed, yes.- Is it a granite?
0:47:41 > 0:47:42It is a granite, yes.
0:47:42 > 0:47:46From the mid-19th century, the island of Ailsa Craig
0:47:46 > 0:47:49in the Firth of Clyde has been quarried for granite.
0:47:49 > 0:47:53It's one of only two sources for the production of curling stones.
0:47:53 > 0:47:56And what's your ticket price on that?
0:47:56 > 0:47:59- 65.- Oooh-hoo!
0:47:59 > 0:48:02- What's the best you can do on it? - 50.
0:48:02 > 0:48:04That's just way too much money for me.
0:48:04 > 0:48:06And how much is this stone without the candle in it?
0:48:06 > 0:48:0975, but I could perhaps do you a package for the two.
0:48:09 > 0:48:12- Honestly, I think 50 is my limit. - Mm-hm.
0:48:12 > 0:48:16- If you could do that, I'll have them.- OK.
0:48:16 > 0:48:18- OK.- You're a gentleman, thank you very much indeed.
0:48:19 > 0:48:24A little-and-large set of curling stones, for a generous deal of £50.
0:48:24 > 0:48:26Phil might have finished shopping,
0:48:26 > 0:48:28but Anita's on the prowl to spend her cash.
0:48:28 > 0:48:33She's got just under £200 in her purse, and she looks determined.
0:48:34 > 0:48:39In Victorian times, Staffordshire figures, or "flatbacks" as they're
0:48:39 > 0:48:46called, would grace the mantelpiece of every Victorian kitchen.
0:48:46 > 0:48:48Flatback figures are so-called because they're
0:48:48 > 0:48:52generally flat on the back and are undecorated there.
0:48:52 > 0:48:55There were often placed against a wall or chimneybreast
0:48:55 > 0:48:58in a Victorian house to add some interest.
0:48:59 > 0:49:04Now, Staffordshire figures would often command
0:49:04 > 0:49:09high prices in the saleroom. But they have gone out of fashion.
0:49:09 > 0:49:11That one's possible.
0:49:14 > 0:49:16What's Anita got her eye on now?
0:49:17 > 0:49:21So, the girls want their boyfriends out of their T-shirts,
0:49:21 > 0:49:23out of the sloppy joes
0:49:23 > 0:49:26and into a nice, crisp white shirt
0:49:26 > 0:49:29with a lovely pair of stylish cufflinks.
0:49:29 > 0:49:32So cufflinks are doing well, and I quite fancy these.
0:49:33 > 0:49:35Time to talk money.
0:49:35 > 0:49:39The combined ticket price for the two items is £52.99.
0:49:39 > 0:49:43I've found two things really that I like.
0:49:43 > 0:49:47What I would like to pay for the two is probably...
0:49:50 > 0:49:53..in the region of 25-30.
0:49:53 > 0:49:5432.
0:49:54 > 0:49:57- £32 for the two?- Two.
0:49:57 > 0:49:59Let's go for that.
0:49:59 > 0:50:01Thank you very, very much.
0:50:02 > 0:50:03Yeah. Nice work, Anita.
0:50:03 > 0:50:09£27 for the Staffordshire flatback and £5 for the dapper cufflinks.
0:50:09 > 0:50:12That completes this late shopping trip.
0:50:12 > 0:50:14And Anita has a total of five items.
0:50:14 > 0:50:17As well as the last two she's just picked up,
0:50:17 > 0:50:19there's the 1950s standard lamp and cabinet,
0:50:19 > 0:50:21the milking stool,
0:50:21 > 0:50:24and the little doll's house three-piece suite.
0:50:24 > 0:50:28Anita was canny with her cash - she spent £101.
0:50:30 > 0:50:34Phil had a tidy budget to play with, and also bought five items -
0:50:34 > 0:50:37his Masonic lot, the wooden trunk,
0:50:37 > 0:50:39the 19th-century seal press,
0:50:39 > 0:50:44the set of ladders and the little-and-large curling stones.
0:50:44 > 0:50:47Phil spent a total of £175.
0:50:48 > 0:50:51Now for the juicy bit. Ha!
0:50:51 > 0:50:53What do they think of each other's items?
0:50:53 > 0:50:55I love the company seal!
0:50:55 > 0:50:56I think it's fabulous.
0:50:56 > 0:50:58It's a giant!
0:50:58 > 0:51:00Got to make a profit on that.
0:51:00 > 0:51:02The two bits that I really love
0:51:02 > 0:51:04are the Uncle Tom Cobley Widecombe Fair stool
0:51:04 > 0:51:07and that really little three-piece suite.
0:51:07 > 0:51:08I think that's really cute.
0:51:09 > 0:51:12Anita and Phil are crossing the border once more to auction
0:51:12 > 0:51:14in the city of Carlisle in Cumbria.
0:51:17 > 0:51:21I think a wee bit of sartorial might be the thing for you.
0:51:21 > 0:51:26I'd like to see a nice white shirt, pair of cufflinks,
0:51:26 > 0:51:30your hair combed, your face shaved...
0:51:30 > 0:51:33I'm clean-shaven, this is like a baby's bottom!
0:51:33 > 0:51:34SHE LAUGHS
0:51:34 > 0:51:38Yeah. Give the fellow a chance, Anita.
0:51:38 > 0:51:42Let's hope lovely Carlisle will give them lots and lots of profits.
0:51:42 > 0:51:46H&H Auctions is their penultimate battleground.
0:51:46 > 0:51:48Stand by.
0:51:48 > 0:51:50Don't drive straight in! Stop!
0:51:50 > 0:51:52SHE LAUGHS
0:51:52 > 0:51:54What a carry-on, eh?
0:51:54 > 0:51:58Dear me! I feel like I've been welded into that thing.
0:51:58 > 0:52:02- Well...- Penultimate auction!- Yeah, I've got a lot to make up, Phil.
0:52:02 > 0:52:04Can you do it?
0:52:04 > 0:52:06Fingers crossed.
0:52:06 > 0:52:07The best of luck to you both.
0:52:10 > 0:52:13Our auctioneer today is Stephen Farthing.
0:52:13 > 0:52:16Make yourself comfortable - the auction is about to begin.
0:52:17 > 0:52:21First up are Anita's stylish cufflinks.
0:52:21 > 0:52:235, 8, 10 on the books.
0:52:23 > 0:52:2510 bid, at 10 I'm bid, 10 for the pair.
0:52:25 > 0:52:27- 12 at the back.- Yes! - Right at the back, £12 bid.
0:52:27 > 0:52:31At £12, at £12 bid, right at the back at £12.
0:52:31 > 0:52:33HAMMER BANGS
0:52:33 > 0:52:35Tidy little profit there, Anita. Great start.
0:52:35 > 0:52:38- That's not bad. - That was short and sharp.- Yeah.
0:52:38 > 0:52:42Next are Phil's curling stones.
0:52:42 > 0:52:44Straight in at £10 on the books. 10 bid.
0:52:44 > 0:52:47At £10 I'm bid, 10 on the books, 12, 12 bid,
0:52:47 > 0:52:50at 15 bid, at 15, 18, 18, 20 bid,
0:52:50 > 0:52:54at 22, 25, 28, 30...
0:52:54 > 0:52:56It's climbing.
0:52:56 > 0:53:00..30, at 32, 35, 38, 40.
0:53:00 > 0:53:02It's getting there, Phil.
0:53:02 > 0:53:05At £40 then? All done at £40...
0:53:05 > 0:53:09Despite that series of bids, it's a loss, Phil.
0:53:09 > 0:53:10Not too bad, though.
0:53:10 > 0:53:15I'm not going to count my chickens and my sheep and my "cooows"...
0:53:15 > 0:53:16Or your "dugs".
0:53:16 > 0:53:21Next, Anita's three-piece suite for a doll's house.
0:53:21 > 0:53:23A nice little lot then...
0:53:23 > 0:53:26There we are, we are straight in at 5, 8, 10 on the books again,
0:53:26 > 0:53:3010 bid, commission bid at 10, 12 at the back, 12 in, at £12,
0:53:30 > 0:53:31right at the back at 12.
0:53:31 > 0:53:3414, new bidder. At £14, 16.
0:53:34 > 0:53:36Come on!
0:53:36 > 0:53:39At £18 on my right, £18 in.
0:53:39 > 0:53:41HAMMER BANGS
0:53:41 > 0:53:44It's a miniature-sized profit, but it all adds up.
0:53:44 > 0:53:46I'd sort of kind of settle for that, really.
0:53:46 > 0:53:47- SHE CHUCKLES - Yeah!
0:53:48 > 0:53:52Back to Phil, and his big wooden trunk. Next!
0:53:52 > 0:53:54Bit of interest in this one.
0:53:54 > 0:53:57Lot 62, so we start the bidding, four bids,
0:53:57 > 0:54:01we'll start the bidding at 20, 25-30 on the books. 30 bid.
0:54:01 > 0:54:04At 35, 40, 45,
0:54:04 > 0:54:05I'm out at 45.
0:54:05 > 0:54:07Lady's bid 50.
0:54:07 > 0:54:09- 50!- Thank you, Lord, thank you.
0:54:09 > 0:54:11Front row, lady's bid. 65, then.
0:54:11 > 0:54:13All done. 65...
0:54:14 > 0:54:17That's more like it - good on you, Phil.
0:54:17 > 0:54:20Big, hulking furniture scores well with this audience.
0:54:20 > 0:54:24- Well done!- Never any doubt, never any doubt in my mind at all.
0:54:24 > 0:54:26I knew that would do well.
0:54:26 > 0:54:29Phil's currently in the lead, Anita.
0:54:29 > 0:54:32Can your Staffordshire flatback show him who's boss?
0:54:32 > 0:54:37Commission bids at 20, 25, 30, 35...
0:54:37 > 0:54:39- Yes!- Well done, you!
0:54:39 > 0:54:41- 38, 40.- Yes!
0:54:41 > 0:54:43- 42, 44.- Yes!
0:54:43 > 0:54:46At 44, then, all done at 44. Commission bid...
0:54:46 > 0:54:48Well done, Anita.
0:54:51 > 0:54:55Can Phil take the lead once more with his lot of Masonic items?
0:54:55 > 0:54:57A bit of interest again.
0:54:57 > 0:54:595, 8, 10, 12, 15 on the book,
0:54:59 > 0:55:0318, 20, 22, 24, 26, I'm out.
0:55:03 > 0:55:06All done at £26, then?
0:55:06 > 0:55:09- Ouch!- Last chance, at 26 then...
0:55:09 > 0:55:12Cor! Someone's got a good buy there.
0:55:12 > 0:55:14It didn't double its money then.
0:55:14 > 0:55:17I really thought it would. That was a nasty thing to say!
0:55:19 > 0:55:21Next, Anita's milking stool.
0:55:21 > 0:55:25We'll start the bidding at 2, 5, 8 bid, £8 bid.
0:55:25 > 0:55:2710, I'm outbid 10. at £10.
