0:00:02 > 0:00:04It's the nation's favourite antique experts...
0:00:04 > 0:00:06- This is beautiful! - That's the way to do this.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09..with £200 each, a classic car and a goal -
0:00:09 > 0:00:12to scour for antiques.
0:00:12 > 0:00:13Joy! Hello!
0:00:13 > 0:00:16The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction.
0:00:16 > 0:00:17But it is no mean feat.
0:00:19 > 0:00:23There'll be worthy winners and valiant losers.
0:00:23 > 0:00:28So, will it be the high road to glory or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:28 > 0:00:29The handbrake's on!
0:00:29 > 0:00:31This is Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Welcome to the second leg of the road trip
0:00:39 > 0:00:43with the ever effervescent Margie Cooper and Charles Hansen.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Look at me.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46You are classy.
0:00:48 > 0:00:53Their racy two-seater is a 1959 Elva Courier believed to be
0:00:53 > 0:00:56the only one of its kind on British roads.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59- We haven't changed gears for the last five minutes.- It's in top gear.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02- Are you in top gear?- Top gear. You are not back-seat driving, are you?
0:01:02 > 0:01:03No, I'm not.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Sounds like it.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Our experts each started with £200.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Margie has some catching up to do.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13She currently has £266.56 to spend.
0:01:13 > 0:01:19Charles, meanwhile, is in the lead with £396.70.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24These two are on one epic road trip.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Starting in the Leicestershire town of Melton Mowbray,
0:01:27 > 0:01:31they're weaving their way across six counties before finishing
0:01:31 > 0:01:34their week near where they started, in Leicester.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38This leg starts off in Newark-on-Trent in Nottinghamshire
0:01:38 > 0:01:41and ends with an auction in Lancashire's Bolton.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46The first stop for both our experts is Newark-on-Trent.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50The first shop of this trip is a shared experience, so stand by.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52- It is huge.- It is, isn't it?
0:01:52 > 0:01:54It certainly is.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56That is a sweet little chair, that, isn't it?
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Look at that little baby.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03This is a typical design of the mid-Victorian era.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06And quite usually...
0:02:06 > 0:02:07I think it's in walnut.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10I kind of like that.
0:02:10 > 0:02:15This Victorian nursing chair is priced at £115. Wow.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19That is such a nice little chair. It's perfect.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21HE HUMS
0:02:21 > 0:02:25Oh, Charles is humming. Is that a good sign?
0:02:25 > 0:02:28What I quite like... There's a wonderful,
0:02:28 > 0:02:31rusty old World War I
0:02:31 > 0:02:33German water bottle.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36It has clearly been buried for some time.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Priced at ten pounds, is it worth a closer look?
0:02:41 > 0:02:43As Charles seeks out the keys for the cabinet,
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Margie has tracked down dealer Jill.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48That furniture up there, is that your...?
0:02:48 > 0:02:50- Right at the far end? - Right at the far end.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53I've just seen this sweet little chair up there.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56It has got 115 on it. It needs to really topple down.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59What... Where are we?
0:02:59 > 0:03:03- Let's have a start... Let's have a starting point.- Oh, gosh.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Well, I was thinking when I saw it - 68.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09- 70 and I'll take the...- Oh, go on.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- OK?- Yeah, thanks a lot.- OK.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14Generous, Jill.
0:03:14 > 0:03:19£45 knocked off the Victorian nursing chair seals the first deal
0:03:19 > 0:03:21of this leg of the trip.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25Earlier, Charles spotted a First World War German water bottle,
0:03:25 > 0:03:27exhumed, apparently, from the Somme.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Dealer Wendy is on hand.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32Wow.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35We've even got a bullet hole here.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38So when the World War I German water bottle....
0:03:38 > 0:03:41It is tin, basically, that has nearly severely corroded,
0:03:41 > 0:03:43having been in the ground.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45But what is its provenance?
0:03:45 > 0:03:49This bottle is a unique item, but it will only appeal to collectors
0:03:49 > 0:03:51if its origin can be verified.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Wendy is only holding the keys for another dealer,
0:03:54 > 0:03:57so while Charles heads off to make a phone call...
0:03:57 > 0:04:02Margie has found a hidden corner of the shop...and Roger.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- See, you're tucked away, I nearly missed you.- We have so much.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- All you have to do is say what you are looking for.- Right.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Well, I was looking for silver bits of jewellery.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- I'm not looking for badges.- We have got some little bits over there.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15You got any suggestions?
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- There is a lovely little brooch there.- Very stylish, isn't it?
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Very Deco-looking, although it is quite modern.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25And it says £35.
0:04:25 > 0:04:2730 to you.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31- That's a gift.- And I'm going to shake your hand at £30.- OK.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Thank you very much. Thank you very much.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Two items in the first shop for Margie.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39But Charles is still to get off the mark.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41How's he getting on with the dealer?
0:04:41 > 0:04:44It's not so much on price, I think you can't buy history,
0:04:44 > 0:04:46but you can with that bottle.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48I'll shake Wendy's hand now. Ten pounds.
0:04:48 > 0:04:53- 'You enjoy it.'- We will enjoy what it represents. Thanks awfully, sir.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54Bye-bye.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Wow, so he was a teacher and he was on the Somme 20 or
0:04:58 > 0:05:02so years ago as a teacher and it was literally just uncovered
0:05:02 > 0:05:06and was sold to him for a sum of money.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10It can't be proven, but at least it gives SOME provenance.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- Thank you. All the best to you. Thanks, Wendy. Bye-bye.- Thank you.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- Bye-bye.- See you. Bye!
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Margie is taking a break from shopping to head to Laxton,
0:05:23 > 0:05:24in Nottinghamshire.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29She is visiting a centre set up to educate children about the glimmer
0:05:29 > 0:05:34of light that shone during one of the darkest periods in history.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40The guide for the afternoon is centre Chief Executive Phil Lyons.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- Ah.- Margie, hi.- Hello, Phil. - Welcome.- Thank you.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Welcome to Beth Shalom, house of peace.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- Come on in.- Thank you.
0:05:49 > 0:05:55Margie has come to hear how thousands of lives were saved from the Nazis
0:05:55 > 0:05:59by the children's transport known as Kindertransport in German.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02So, tell me the story of Kindertransport.
0:06:02 > 0:06:07Well, the story has a very, very complex background to it.
0:06:07 > 0:06:13It starts in the mid-'30s in Germany when Hitler came to power.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17And part of his programme was to remove, as best he could,
0:06:17 > 0:06:20the Jews from the German population.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Simple as that.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27In the mid-'30s, anti-Semitism was on the rise in Europe.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31Jews were persecuted and their businesses destroyed.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Synagogues were burned to the ground, shops,
0:06:34 > 0:06:38homes were trashed, were ruined.
0:06:38 > 0:06:4330,000 German Jewish men were arrested, sent to the camps.
0:06:43 > 0:06:48And in a sense, the State had engineered all of this.
0:06:49 > 0:06:54In 1935, new laws were announced by the Nazi party that excluded
0:06:54 > 0:06:57German Jews from citizenship.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Effectively refugees in their own country,
0:06:59 > 0:07:02it was virtually impossible for them to leave.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05The international community started to take notice.
0:07:07 > 0:07:12This civilised country suddenly descending into this dreadful,
0:07:12 > 0:07:14oppressive regime.
0:07:14 > 0:07:19And here in the UK, the government passed
0:07:19 > 0:07:23through emergency legislation within a fortnight.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26And what it was saying is that they will take children
0:07:26 > 0:07:31refugees between ages of three and 17, mostly at the younger age...
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- Yeah.- ..and they could come into the country
0:07:33 > 0:07:35without travel documents.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41In an unprecedented undertaking, trains were arranged by charities
0:07:41 > 0:07:44and religious groups to save persecuted children.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47For nine months, the Nazis permitted the trains to leave Germany
0:07:47 > 0:07:49and Eastern Europe.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Many ended up at train stations around Britain,
0:07:52 > 0:07:54just like this reconstruction at the museum.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58While a few were greeted by relatives, the majority of boys
0:07:58 > 0:08:03and girls were welcomed into the arms of foster families.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06When they arrived in the UK, what faced them?
0:08:06 > 0:08:09The vast majority if not all of them had no language,
0:08:09 > 0:08:11didn't speak English.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15We'd like to think that most of them had very quickly some love
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- and support offered to them.- Yes. - That is what you want for children,
0:08:18 > 0:08:20what you'd want for children. I'd want that.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Through all the travesty, they did survive.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- That is the most important thing. - Yeah, survival.- They did survive.
0:08:26 > 0:08:32And most of them went on to lead positive family lives of their own.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37One of those survivors was Bernard Grunberg,
0:08:37 > 0:08:41just 15 when his German Jewish parents feared for his safety.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46Now 92, he regularly shares his remarkable story of survival
0:08:46 > 0:08:48with schoolchildren who visit the centre.
0:08:49 > 0:08:55I came over with the second Kindertransport that left Berlin
0:08:55 > 0:08:58in December 1938.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02And that was the last time I ever saw anyone from my family again.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Although I didn't know what was happening -
0:09:04 > 0:09:06nobody had told me anything.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08I didn't know why I was on that train,
0:09:08 > 0:09:10I didn't know where it was going.
0:09:10 > 0:09:15- I thought it was just a temporary way to be away from home...- Yeah.
0:09:15 > 0:09:21..and, eventually, you'd meet up again and live like a family again.
0:09:21 > 0:09:27After the war, Bernard settled in northern England and married in 1947.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Like some other Kindertransport children,
0:09:30 > 0:09:33he found an appointment as a farm labourer.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Do you think Kindertransport saved your life?
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Out of the 10,000 children,
0:09:40 > 0:09:45I don't know how many, but there is very,
0:09:45 > 0:09:51very few that ever saw their parents again, or any relatives again.
0:09:51 > 0:09:56And I am sure they will know that Kindertransport
0:09:56 > 0:09:59- saved their lives...- Yeah.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02..as it did mine. And I will never forget that.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07Approximately 10,000 children who made it to the safety of Britain were
0:10:07 > 0:10:11able to start new lives and, like Bernard, contribute to our society.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Back in Newark-on-Trent, Charles has made the short walk across town
0:10:23 > 0:10:28- to his next shop. Dealer Simon is ready to help.- Sir, Charles Hansen.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Simon, what a lovely antiques centre you've got here.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Anything in particular catching your eye, Charles?
0:10:35 > 0:10:40One thing I love about history is the sampler.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43And here you've got a wonderful sampler.
0:10:43 > 0:10:48And we marvel at samplers because they were a girl's education.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50I do like it.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53The embroidered crown with letters G and R
0:10:53 > 0:10:58probably date this sampler to around 1770.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03Simon, this sampler here, I can't see a price.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- 50.- 50, OK.
0:11:07 > 0:11:08You want to do £40?
0:11:10 > 0:11:12I'll meet you in the middle, 45.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- I'll take it.- OK.- 45.- Sold.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Despite the few holes, this is a nice item for £45.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Anything else in here, Charles?
0:11:22 > 0:11:25How about a pair of clogs?
0:11:25 > 0:11:26Aren't they wonderful?
0:11:31 > 0:11:32May I try one on? Do you mind?
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Knock yourself out then, Charles.
0:11:35 > 0:11:40Wow. These are early-19th-century clogs.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43And it's interesting, the clog market really took
0:11:43 > 0:11:49off in the 1840s, in the 1850s, in industrial England, in the North.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Do they suit me or not? Not really, do they?
0:11:51 > 0:11:55But the reason I like these is because they are so crude.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59The clogs are priced at £35.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00Simon, I love these.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04- What is the best price?- 20 then. - Oh, I say! Really?
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- Yes.- Sold. I'll take them. Thanks, Simon. Thanks a lot.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Two in the old bag, eh, Charles? But is there still more?
0:12:11 > 0:12:16What we've got is a bronze Buddha, possibly 19th century.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17I just quite like it.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19It's got this dirty appeal of just being well-worn.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Simon is asking £35 for this little Buddha.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Simon, I quite like this.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- I'll do it for 25. - Would you really?- Yeah.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- Are you happy with that?- Yes. - Done, I'll take it.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35A successful shopping trip, I'd say,
0:12:35 > 0:12:39picking up an 18th-century sampler, a pair of 19th-century clogs
0:12:39 > 0:12:44and a bronze Buddha, all for a total of £90.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47And with that, today's shopping comes to a close.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Nighty-night.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59The next morning, it's a bit of a damp start.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- You OK?- I'm going under. So I'll say goodbye to you.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04THEY LAUGH
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Hold tight, Marge.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09This morning, they are heading for Mansfield, in Nottinghamshire
0:13:09 > 0:13:11and Margie's first stop of the day.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- There. Luke.- Very nice to meet you.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18- Nice to meet you, too. What a horrible day.- I know!
0:13:18 > 0:13:22I'm sure a spot of shopping will cheer you up though, Marge.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26Uh... So what have you got in here? Let's look.
0:13:26 > 0:13:31- What's that?- That's a medical fleam. - Yeah.- Used for- blood-letting. Eugh.
0:13:31 > 0:13:36It was once believed blood-letting could treat
0:13:36 > 0:13:40everything from fever to madness in both people and animals.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44The three sharp blades of this fleam are likely to have been used
0:13:44 > 0:13:46on farm livestock. Gruesome.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Georgian. That is Georgian.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51My, I'm glad I didn't live then. Can you imagine?
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Yeah! It is priced at £45.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Is that the very best on that?
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- I'll do it for 30, and that is my best.- Mm.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Once somebody says that's the best,
0:14:01 > 0:14:03I feel as though it is a bit rude to say 28.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05THEY LAUGH
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Go on, then.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Thank you very much.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15Luke has kindly knocked £17 off the asking price,
0:14:15 > 0:14:18and Margie has got something a little different to auction.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Continuing our journey with Margie, she's headed over the county
0:14:21 > 0:14:24border, into Derbyshire and the market town of Belper.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Her next shop is a big'un,
0:14:27 > 0:14:30set in a former Victorian mill.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Colin is in charge today, so look out.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38- Hello, good afternoon.- Hello there. How are you?- Are you Colin?
0:14:38 > 0:14:40- I am, yeah.- I'm Margie. - Hello, Margie.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45That's nice, isn't it? Lovely old gate, look.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49I love that. Don't you? Magnifico.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Isn't that something else?
0:14:51 > 0:14:56Margie has fallen for this Victorian iron gate, priced at £90.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Here comes Colin, though.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03It is not the prettiest thing we've got, is it?
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- Are you surprised I selected that? - I am a little, yeah.- Are you?
0:15:06 > 0:15:09- Yeah.- Good, it'll be cheap then. - HE LAUGHS
0:15:09 > 0:15:13- Well, where has it got to be?- Well, I would be happy buying that for 40.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14- I tell you what...- Yeah.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- Add a fiver to it so I can have me tea and it is yours.- OK.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20- I think we'll go for that.- 45. Excellent.- Thank you, sir.
0:15:20 > 0:15:2345? That's half-price. Well done, Margie.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Does anything else take your fancy?
0:15:26 > 0:15:30Well, this is one of these boots that a pony...a pony...
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Well, it's quite a big pony.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37It is a bootie to wear on its hoof to stop
0:15:37 > 0:15:39digging into the garden
0:15:39 > 0:15:43when he's pulling on a lawnmower. Back in the day.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46This one boot is priced at £55.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Oh, Colin!
0:15:48 > 0:15:53- What have we found?- What have we found? Something really daft.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56- I'm just looking at this, which I find really interesting.- OK, yeah.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59- It would be nice if...- And you know what it is?- I do know what it is.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Yeah. Interesting piece.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03- It is an interesting piece. - You could make something of it.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Yeah, but it all depends... OK, here, there is a bit...
0:16:06 > 0:16:10- Somebody has written on here... - OK.- ..£55.- Yeah.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- What do you think a nice bottle of wine would cost you?- 25 quid?
0:16:13 > 0:16:15- 35. - SHE LAUGHS
0:16:15 > 0:16:20Oh, Colin. How about if we split that? And then we can be friends.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22- 32.50?- Yeah. Go on, then.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25THEY LAUGH
0:16:25 > 0:16:27We got there in the end.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Margie has her last lots for auction -
0:16:30 > 0:16:32a Victorian iron gate and a leather pony boot,
0:16:32 > 0:16:34plus Colin's found a little box that, for 50p,
0:16:34 > 0:16:38will help sell the Art Deco brooch Margie bought yesterday.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Thank you. That feels like a win.
0:16:42 > 0:16:43- Bye-bye.- Bye now.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Brilliant. Well done, Margie.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Charles' last stop today is in Derbyshire,
0:16:52 > 0:16:55in the former mining town of Bolsover.
0:16:56 > 0:17:01He still has £296.70 left to spend here,
0:17:01 > 0:17:03at Bolsover Antique Centre.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11She's quite nice. I quite like this lady in here.
0:17:11 > 0:17:17This 1930s figurine is made of an alloy of zinc, also known as spelter.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20She's been given a coating of bronze to give the impression
0:17:20 > 0:17:23she's the real McCoy.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25She is quite nice. I'm quite surprised.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29- £18.- £18 is surprisingly cheap.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32I wonder why. Perhaps Carol knows.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Oh, she's gorgeous, Carol.
0:17:36 > 0:17:41- Hello! Margie Cooper-esque. Isn't she lovely?- She is.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45- Just got one problem. Thumbs. - It's a shame, yeah.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- Has she been nibbling her nails and gone too far?- Must have, yes.
0:17:48 > 0:17:53Carol, she is missing her thumbs, but she can still dance.
0:17:53 > 0:17:54- Do you like her?- I do, yeah.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- Take £12?- Do you want me to go and check?- Could you for me?
0:17:57 > 0:17:58I won't be long.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Carol, if you want to take a chance...
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- # On me... # Try a tenner.- Right!
0:18:03 > 0:18:05- All right. We'll try.- Thanks, Carol.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Ten pounds? He is trying his luck.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17- Hold tight.- I've had a word.- Yeah.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19- Whisper it in my... - The best we can do is 15.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23For that sort of price, I'd be rude not to. I'll take her.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27She may be thumbless, but at that price, she is worth a punt.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30And Charles isn't finished here - oh, no.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34He's being drawn to a cabinet filled with militaria.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36World War II relic.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40June 6, 1944, D-Day landing.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42How interesting.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46This, of course, represents a very important day
0:18:46 > 0:18:49when, sadly, so many individuals lost their lives.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53And this could just be a piece of relic
0:18:53 > 0:18:56from that D-Day landing,
0:18:56 > 0:18:58who knows, brought back by a soldier.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00I doubt it.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04If it's right, a military collector would pay well over ten pounds
0:19:04 > 0:19:08for something which has such emotive value.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10I'd love to learn more about this.
0:19:10 > 0:19:11Best call the owner, then.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Fortunately, Carol has his number at hand. Go, Carol.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Can I just pass you over?
0:19:19 > 0:19:20Hi, mate.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23The owner claims it came from a specialist dealer.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28Provenance here is hard to prove, but Charles is taking a risk.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31What is your best price? On at ten pounds.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32A fiver?
0:19:32 > 0:19:35I think for what it potentially represents,
0:19:35 > 0:19:38I'd be a fool to say no.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42I'm going to say I'll buy it and thanks ever so much. Thanks, mate!
0:19:42 > 0:19:45And that concludes the shopping.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47- Bye.- Bye.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49They've been busy on this trip.
0:19:49 > 0:19:54Charles has paired the possible Utah Beach barbed wire with
0:19:54 > 0:19:58the First World War German water bottle to make a militaria lot.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00He has four other items, including the bronze Buddha,
0:20:00 > 0:20:02a George III sampler,
0:20:02 > 0:20:04a pair of 18th-century clogs,
0:20:04 > 0:20:06and an Art Deco figurine.
0:20:06 > 0:20:11All that lot cost him £120.
0:20:11 > 0:20:17While Margie parted with £206 for a Victorian nursing chair,
0:20:17 > 0:20:19a gold brooch with box,
0:20:19 > 0:20:21the Georgian fleam,
0:20:21 > 0:20:23a Victorian iron gate
0:20:23 > 0:20:25and one leather pony boot.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28So, what do they make of each other's buys?
0:20:29 > 0:20:31I love that Art Deco brooch.
0:20:31 > 0:20:36And heaven forbid, for £30.50, you've bought real gold.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39I can't believe he's bought a pair of clogs. I mean,
0:20:39 > 0:20:43- the saleroom is in Lancashire. - SHE GIGGLES
0:20:43 > 0:20:45And that is taking coals to Newcastle.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51We'll soon see, because it's across the Peak District
0:20:51 > 0:20:55they head for an auction in Bolton, Lancashire.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58This leg's sale is taking place at Bolton auction rooms,
0:20:58 > 0:21:02housed in the former Metropolitan Library building.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06- I shouldn't have worn a skirt. - It's all to come.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10- It's all to come, Margie.- Oh, gosh, this car'll be the death...
0:21:10 > 0:21:13That's the way, Margie, a Lancashire lass does it.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- I was out before you. - I'm a Derbyshire man.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20Presiding over proceedings is auctioneer Stephen Sloan.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22As Stephen readies himself,
0:21:22 > 0:21:26his colleague Mia is primed to receive online bids.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Time for our experts to take their seats.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33It's Charles's pair of clogs first.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Thank you, sir. 30, bid. 30.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37- Come on.- 32. 34.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41- 34. 36.- Come on, they are wonderful boots.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43- 40.- Let's go.- And two.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46- 42, thank you.- Happy with that. - At £42, this is for two.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48- 21 each. - MARGIE LAUGHS
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- 21 each!- At 42. Thanks.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- Welcome to Lancashire, Margie. - Are you sure?- I'm delighted.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56And so you should be.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58You've walked away with a £22 profit.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Next up, Margie's 19th-century fleam.
0:22:02 > 0:22:07- 25 bid, thank you.- Good. - That's OK, isn't it?- On the net.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09- '31!'- Yes.- 31?
0:22:09 > 0:22:1332. 34? At £34.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- 36. 38?- Come on, crawl a bit more.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20- 38. 40? £40. And two? 42.- Gosh,
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- it is giving me heart failure. - 42. Are you sure?
0:22:25 > 0:22:29That is Charles and Margie both making a profit on their first lots.
0:22:29 > 0:22:34A great start. Now, time for Charles' sampler.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38- Anybody got £40 for it? £40? - HE SIGHS
0:22:38 > 0:22:4130 bid. 30. Five anywhere? At £30.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43And five anywhere else?
0:22:43 > 0:22:46- Come on, let's go!- At 40. At £40.
0:22:46 > 0:22:47- Keep selling.- £50, give me five.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50- 55.- I should think so. - Quite right, I like her style.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- £60. Five.- Come on!
0:22:53 > 0:22:57- All done at £60? It is here to be sold.- A little profit.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01That's great, I'm very happy. It could've gone the other way.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04But it didn't, and you're faring well.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Margie's gate is next to go under the gavel.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- £30, kick it in. - SHE LAUGHS
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Gracious me, scrap metal now.
0:23:12 > 0:23:1520 bid, thank you. 20. Two.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19- 24? 24. 26?- That's better. - 28? 28.- Go on keep going.
0:23:19 > 0:23:2230. 30, and two? Two, thank you.
0:23:22 > 0:23:27- 34? 34. 36? 36.- Still going. Come on.- 38, thank you.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- That's better, Margie. Good. - £40. And two.
0:23:30 > 0:23:3342. 44. At 42.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36I am selling at £42. This is no money at all.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Oh, Margie, so close.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44It's Charles's little Buddha next.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- Say what, £100 to start me? - HE BREATHES QUICKLY
0:23:47 > 0:23:51- £70. 70 bid.- 70 bid! Come on, let's go!- Five anywhere?- Come on!
0:23:51 > 0:23:52At £70 bid.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- Shut up!- It is a very rare opportunity.- It is rare.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59All done at 70? Last time, gavel's up...
0:23:59 > 0:24:01- Well done.- Very good. Thank you very much. Thanks, partner.
0:24:01 > 0:24:06A brilliant profit on that little chap. Well done, Charles.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09First clogs and now Margie's pony boot.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13But will our second footwear lot be as successful?
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Say what, kick it in at £20?
0:24:15 > 0:24:1820 in the room. £20, thank you. And two.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20- Two. 22.- Come on, Margie.
0:24:20 > 0:24:2124. 26. 28.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24- 30. 32? 32.- Good.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27- Profit.- Oh, no!- Profit.
0:24:27 > 0:24:2834!
0:24:28 > 0:24:31- 'Oh, she's at it.' - 36, new money. 38? Try two.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33- 38!- Yeah! Well done, Margie.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36- 38.- Good job.- Spoilsport.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Back to the net then at 38. 38. 40 anywhere else?
0:24:39 > 0:24:43- At £38.- Well done, partner. They're all in the room.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46- And two?- Tight.- 40?- It's kicking.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Wonderful.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Another profit for Margie.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Next up, Charles' thumbless figurine.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57- £30 to start me. Thank you. - Thank you very much.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00In the room at £30. 30. And two.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02- 32.- Come on, let's go.- 34. 36?
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- 36. 38? 38. 40?- She's coming home.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07- £40, and two.- Let's go.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09- Two, sir, thank you. - The Lancashire lady.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Thank you very much, sir. Thank you.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13- 44.- Come on, sir.- 46.
0:25:13 > 0:25:1646 in the room. All done at 46?
0:25:16 > 0:25:17I can't believe it.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22She had no thumbs but she was a lovely lady. I am really pleased.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Super profit.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28- Margie's brooch is next.- £40 for it?
0:25:28 > 0:25:33- 40 bid, sir.- Margie! Brilliant! - Two anywhere? On the blower at 42.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35- You watch, Margie.- 44. 46.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38- 48. 50.- Good buy, Margie.- 52.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Four. 56.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43- 58. £60. 62.- Oh, good.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45- 64.- Funny old game, Margie.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48- 68. £70.- I didn't think it would...
0:25:48 > 0:25:4972? At 70.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Wow, Margie Cooper, take a bow!
0:25:52 > 0:25:58- Two. 72.- Oh, Margie.- In two places. 74, sir?- Wow!- 74, is it?
0:25:58 > 0:26:03In the room at 74. 76? At 74 in the room. Gentleman's bid in the room.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06- Marge, they've all been waiting for this.- £74...
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Good girl, Margie.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Margie has bagged another great profit.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14And she's up again with her Victorian nursing chair.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Where would you like to be with that one for me?
0:26:16 > 0:26:1765, thanks. There we go.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20- That's what I should've paid. - Good, Margie.- We are starting.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22- Is that profit?- 70 anywhere?
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- £70. 70 here. And five. - Hold tight, Margie.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27That's 70 here. £70.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Golden opportunity.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33SHE LAUGHS
0:26:33 > 0:26:37I just love buying things and selling them at the same price.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39It's wiped its face, Margie.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43Our pair's last lot now.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45It is Charles' wartime memorabilia.
0:26:45 > 0:26:50They were both risky buys as the provenance is questionable.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54Thank you, sir. 20, and we're away. 20, and two. I have 20. Two.
0:26:54 > 0:26:5722. 24? 24. 26. 28?
0:26:57 > 0:26:5828, thank you.
0:26:58 > 0:27:0030? 30 and two?
0:27:00 > 0:27:0232, thank you.
0:27:02 > 0:27:0434. Sir, 34. And six?
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Six, thank you.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09- 38? 38, thank you.- Ah! You are getting there.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- 42. 44? 44.- Ooooh...- 46? 46.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16- 48? 48. - It is real history, Margie.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19You can't buy history, but you can today.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- A rare opportunity.- Margie... And that's history.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27And ending on another profit for Charles. Well done, both of you.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29- Come on.- Let's go.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Time to tally up who will be today's winner.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37Margie started this leg with £266.56.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40After paying auction house fees,
0:27:40 > 0:27:43she has made a profit of £13.76.
0:27:43 > 0:27:48This means she carries forward £280.32.
0:27:50 > 0:27:55Charles, meanwhile, started with £396.70.
0:27:55 > 0:28:00He's made an impressive profit of £99.76,
0:28:00 > 0:28:06which means he is stretching ahead with £496.46
0:28:06 > 0:28:10to spend next time. Well done, boy.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12The next stretch of the road trip
0:28:12 > 0:28:15sees Margie on Charles's home territory.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Yup, they're in Derbyshire!
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Welcome to Derbyshire, Margie!
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Smell the Derbyshire air!
0:28:21 > 0:28:23He is as excited as usual.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27Just as well Margie is in command, or, she thinks she is.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30I would just change gear if I were you.
0:28:30 > 0:28:35I wouldn't... I would just gently caress the accelerator now, Margie.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37I was driving cars before you were even thought of.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41- Are you being serious?- Yes.- You're not that old, are you? Look at me.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46- GEARS CRUNCH - Oh!- Whoops.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49This leg starts off from Melbourne in South Derbyshire,
0:28:49 > 0:28:52destined for an auction in the Norfolk town of Aylsham.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54Charles is shopping first today.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56- Morning.- Good morning. How are you?
0:28:56 > 0:28:58- All right, thank you. - What a lovely shop.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01- Thank you very much.- Charles Hanson. - Welcome to Melbourne Antiques.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04The delightful Helen is on hand to help.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07These are nice.
0:29:07 > 0:29:12Charles has uncovered a nice pair of Art Nouveau Royal Dux figurines,
0:29:12 > 0:29:13but I spy a problem.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16- What a shame. Oh, I don't believe it.- That's...
0:29:16 > 0:29:20I was feeling so good and then I saw the instruments.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23- Her little harpsichord has been damaged.- Yes.
0:29:23 > 0:29:27Missing that section there, but also missing a thumb
0:29:27 > 0:29:31and if we turn it round, we'll see, good quality,
0:29:31 > 0:29:36raised pink Triangle Mark for Royal Dux, but what a shame.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39They must be so cheap, Helen.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42They are very cheap. £20 for the pair.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45Will you take £10? Happy?
0:29:45 > 0:29:49- Thanks a lot. Thank you.- Thank you. - Thank you so much.- Thank you.- £10.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51Thank you, Helen.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54Despite the damage, these two figurines could do well at auction.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Margie's motored her way to the north-west tip of Leicestershire
0:30:00 > 0:30:03and the town of Castle Donington,
0:30:03 > 0:30:06and her first shop of the day.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10- Hello.- Hello.- Hi.- Hi, I'm Philip.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13Oh, hello, Phil. Margie.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16- Good to meet you.- Yeah, so, I'd love to have a look round.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18Sure, yes. Feel free to wander.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24Margie's got just over £280 to spend.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26What will she plump for?
0:30:26 > 0:30:30- That's been nice in its time, hasn't it?- Yes.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34Margie's spotted an Edwardian ladies' toilet mirror.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36A nice bit of satinwood around here.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40Just turn it round to see what's going on at the back.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44- Yes, as is.- All original, yes, it's not been...
0:30:44 > 0:30:48It's as original, nothing been tampered with at all or changed.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52- Phil, I quite like that. - Yeah.- So, how much is that?
0:30:52 > 0:30:58- Well, that could be £25.- Oh. - Which, you know...- Oh, crumbs.- Yeah.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02Very reasonable, Phil.
0:31:02 > 0:31:03I'm going to shake your hand on that.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06- Oh, right, thank you very much. - Thank YOU very much.- Cheers.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09One sale. You can wrap it then.
0:31:10 > 0:31:15One purchase already and Margie's still to explore Phil's basement.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17- I'm going to go down.- OK.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21Small but packed with stock.
0:31:23 > 0:31:24Oh.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27A gramophone player.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29- Gosh, I've never, ever bought one in my life.- Oh.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32- Does it work?- Yes, I can give you a demonstration if you want.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34Crank it up for you.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38MUSIC PLAYS
0:31:39 > 0:31:42There you go.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46Hey! This 1920s gramophone comes with a few records, too.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49Phil's starting price is £90. Stand by.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51Yeah, I don't know whether to risk it.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53But I could go a little bit...
0:31:53 > 0:31:55I'll go to 50. I could drop down to 50.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58- I'll have another browse upstairs. - OK.- I know it's here.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01- Yeah, fair enough, yes.- Right?
0:32:01 > 0:32:05After another quick look upstairs, it's decision time.
0:32:05 > 0:32:11So I bought that, so do I just leave it at that and move on?
0:32:11 > 0:32:13Or do I have a crack at your record player?
0:32:13 > 0:32:16I think that's what we're down to.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19- 40 quid won't buy it?- Say 43 then.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22Let's just cut it down to...
0:32:22 > 0:32:23Thanks.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27£43. We're done. I'm on my way.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29That's the Edwardian toilet mirror
0:32:29 > 0:32:32and a gramophone with a dozen old 78s thrown in
0:32:32 > 0:32:34for a total of £68.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37Nice find.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40What's that little glass over there?
0:32:40 > 0:32:46Well, I think that's a French vase, 1950s-ish, I think.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49- I quite like that. - Yes, it's different, isn't it?
0:32:49 > 0:32:53- It looks very nice in the light.- How much would you throw that in for?
0:32:53 > 0:32:55Well, I bought that, again, very well,
0:32:55 > 0:32:58so you could have that for a bargain £8.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Oh! I can't leave that, can I?
0:33:00 > 0:33:05An impulse buy. A 1950s vase, a snip at just £8.
0:33:05 > 0:33:06Great work, Margie!
0:33:10 > 0:33:13Meanwhile, Charles has made his way across the county border to
0:33:13 > 0:33:15the Derbyshire town of Matlock.
0:33:15 > 0:33:16Here we are.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21This antiques centre has nearly 70 dealers.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24With £486 to splash,
0:33:24 > 0:33:27he dives straight in.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30He's onto something.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Just found the best thing in the shop
0:33:32 > 0:33:37and what I've found is pretty mundane to many eyes.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41It's a piece of timber, carved with acanthus foliage
0:33:41 > 0:33:43and these lovely scroll volutes.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47So, many years ago, this piece of timber was very important.
0:33:47 > 0:33:54It probably formed part of a very elaborate Florentine frame.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57If you had the whole frame and there was a mirror,
0:33:57 > 0:33:59it might be £5,000.
0:33:59 > 0:34:05Sadly this is only a quarter of that frame and is priced at £65.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09I might just see if I can spot...
0:34:09 > 0:34:11anything else.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16That's quite sweet.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20What I like about this box is it's no cheap, square box.
0:34:20 > 0:34:25In fact, what we've got here is a good rosewood inlaid, veneered box
0:34:25 > 0:34:28with this star motif on top in ebony.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30There's your interior.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33I think it has got some age.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35It is probably 1900 in date.
0:34:35 > 0:34:39Hm, the ticket price is £14.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43The dealer trading from this corner of the shop isn't here today
0:34:43 > 0:34:45so it's back up the stairs to make a phone call.
0:34:45 > 0:34:50Head honcho Lynne gets dealer Bernadette on the blower.
0:34:50 > 0:34:51I'll put him on, Bernadette.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53I just wondered, I'm just intrigued.
0:34:53 > 0:34:57This almost scroll acanthus panel...
0:34:58 > 0:35:01..I just quite like it because it's got some age.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05What's your best price? 48.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09I will say, "Thank you very much." I'll take that for 48
0:35:09 > 0:35:12and I also like the inlaid box, as well, that...
0:35:14 > 0:35:17- So, that for a tenner.- Right. - Thank you, Bernadette.
0:35:17 > 0:35:18Wasn't she nice?
0:35:18 > 0:35:24The 18th-century cornice and the rosewood box for a total of £58.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28And, with that, an exciting day on the road comes to a close.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30So nighty-night, you two lovebirds.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37Charles is behind the wheel this morning, so watch out.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39For Queen and country, Margie.
0:35:39 > 0:35:40Hold tight.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44- GEARS CRUNCH - Oh, sorry. Sorry, Margie.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49First stop is in Kimberley, Nottinghamshire.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52Good morning.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56Michael is in charge of Alice's Antiques. Hello, Michael.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Oh, off she goes!
0:35:59 > 0:36:00Wow.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04Right, so it's, yeah... What have we got up here? This is all...
0:36:04 > 0:36:08- Shabby chic.- Yeah, shabby chic, yes. Go round here.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13I don't really want to buy stepladders but they do sort of...
0:36:13 > 0:36:16- Yeah.- They're popular now, aren't they? People paint them, as well.
0:36:16 > 0:36:20Yeah, they do, and put them in the bedrooms and put, you know,
0:36:20 > 0:36:22ornaments on them.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Or shoes.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31Hm. They're not the best pair I've ever seen.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33There's something rather nice about them. They've been used.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36These steps were priced at £35,
0:36:36 > 0:36:39but, as luck would have it, they're in the sale.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41It's going to have to be so cheap,
0:36:41 > 0:36:43and that's not cheap enough.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46So if you can sell me that for 15 quid, I'll buy it.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48Well, I don't want you to leave without buying...
0:36:48 > 0:36:52- Right, well, there we go. 15.- £15. - OK, Mike, thanks very much indeed.
0:36:52 > 0:36:53Thank you.
0:36:53 > 0:36:58Michael's been most kind and Margie has another item to take to auction.
0:36:58 > 0:36:59Thank you.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07Charles has travelled north of Nottingham,
0:37:07 > 0:37:09near to the village of Papplewick.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14He's visiting this unassuming building to hear how
0:37:14 > 0:37:17the pumping equipment inside saved millions of lives.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23Tony Keyworth is the local expert on Victorian engineer Thomas Hawksley,
0:37:23 > 0:37:25the forgotten hero of Nottingham.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30- Mr Keyworth.- Call me Tony. - Tony. Charles Hanson.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33- Nice to meet you and welcome. - Great to hear. What a building.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35It is, isn't it? It's beautiful. It was built by Thomas Hawksley,
0:37:35 > 0:37:39the best water engineer of the 19th century.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41Wow. It looks amazing.
0:37:41 > 0:37:46- May we go for a wander indoors? - Let's do that, yes.- Thanks a lot.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48In the 19th century, the Industrial Revolution saw
0:37:48 > 0:37:52a boom in textile industries, mining and engineering.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56Thousands left life in the country to seek work.
0:37:56 > 0:38:00Cities soon became overcrowded, and Nottingham was no exception.
0:38:02 > 0:38:06The population by 1830 had risen to about 50,000,
0:38:06 > 0:38:09from 10,000 in the mid-18th century.
0:38:09 > 0:38:10They were cramped into houses
0:38:10 > 0:38:15that were built specifically to house them by speculative landlords.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18They had no drainage, no water supply,
0:38:18 > 0:38:19didn't even have a back door.
0:38:19 > 0:38:23It was an appalling way to live.
0:38:23 > 0:38:2560% of children below five years old died.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31Overcrowding led to outbreaks of disease.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35One of the most feared was water-borne cholera.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38How was cholera getting into the system?
0:38:38 > 0:38:40There was an attempt by some water companies to pump
0:38:40 > 0:38:43water into the town to standpipes. Some into the houses.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46But it leaked, basically,
0:38:46 > 0:38:49and in order to prevent this leakage from exhausting the water
0:38:49 > 0:38:55supply and costing too much money, they turned the water off,
0:38:55 > 0:38:58and only turned it back on again in a certain area of the town
0:38:58 > 0:39:01for two hours a day, and when the pipes emptied,
0:39:01 > 0:39:04they drew in the contaminated waste in the ground.
0:39:04 > 0:39:05Sewage, basically.
0:39:05 > 0:39:09So people were actually infecting themselves by drinking the water.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13- And that obviously gave that low life expectancy.- It caused havoc.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15Even in the best part of Nottingham,
0:39:15 > 0:39:18the life expectancy was somewhere between 12
0:39:18 > 0:39:21and, in some of the wards, 18.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24Local engineer Thomas Hawksley believed those
0:39:24 > 0:39:28suffering from illness would benefit from clean water.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31He set out to revolutionise the supply system by replacing
0:39:31 > 0:39:36the leaky pipes and pumping a continuous supply of water.
0:39:36 > 0:39:40He had the good sense to recognise that when you stopped
0:39:40 > 0:39:44a pipe from having pressure inside it and it emptied,
0:39:44 > 0:39:47sewage would get in and contaminate people, so his idea was to keep it
0:39:47 > 0:39:51under pressure all the time to keep the contamination out.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54Without knowing it, Hawksley wasn't just offering a supply of fresh
0:39:54 > 0:39:58water, he was also stopping outbreaks of cholera.
0:39:58 > 0:40:03When he put forward his idea of pumping fresh water 24 hours a day
0:40:03 > 0:40:08to a sceptical establishment, he faced stiff opposition.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11His revolutionary piece of engineering didn't come cheap.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15What did he say to get them on board?
0:40:15 > 0:40:20Hawksley worked out later in his life the mortality cost,
0:40:20 > 0:40:22the consequences of people dying early.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25A man would die, he would leave a wife and children
0:40:25 > 0:40:26and if they became ill,
0:40:26 > 0:40:29they couldn't pay for the hospital treatment,
0:40:29 > 0:40:32that had to be paid for by the town.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34So if they lived long enough, of course,
0:40:34 > 0:40:37- they would be able to pay more taxes.- Absolutely, yeah.
0:40:39 > 0:40:43Hawksley raised financial backing from a water company to build
0:40:43 > 0:40:46this steam-powered pumping station at Papplewick.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49Fresh water was pumped through leak-proof pipes
0:40:49 > 0:40:51to taps in people's homes.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54- Did it work, Tony? - It did. It did work extremely well.
0:40:54 > 0:40:58Almost on cue, a couple of years later, there was
0:40:58 > 0:40:59a cholera outbreak in the country.
0:40:59 > 0:41:03Nottingham didn't have any problems at all. Nobody died in Nottingham.
0:41:03 > 0:41:07Thousands died around the rest of the country.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10Hawksley had proved his doubters wrong
0:41:10 > 0:41:12and his system was soon adopted by other cities.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15His ingenuity saved countless lives
0:41:15 > 0:41:17and is one reason why Britain's health and prosperity
0:41:17 > 0:41:21accelerated ahead of many others in the following decades.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26He's a man I never knew but it's certainly got me
0:41:26 > 0:41:28pumped up now on the Antiques Road Trip.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30My pressure is increasing, Tony.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34I'm feeling, you know, a sweat coming on and I shall head off
0:41:34 > 0:41:36and attempt to find my next few antique buys.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39Thank you for a wonderful visit. It's been really, really rewarding.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42- It's a pleasure.- Thanks, Tony.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46The final shop for both our experts is in Grantham, Lincolnshire.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50Charles is running a little late...
0:41:51 > 0:41:55..giving Margie first dibs at Notions Antiques Centre.
0:41:55 > 0:41:59- Good afternoon. How are you? - Hello.- And you are?- Sharon.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Sharon, I should call like that.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05- And you're Lewis.- I am Lewis, yes. - All right. Margie.- Hello.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Desperately looking for a couple of items
0:42:07 > 0:42:09so I'm going to have a look around.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11- Fine.- I'll be back.- OK.
0:42:15 > 0:42:20Margie still has £189.32 to spend.
0:42:24 > 0:42:25What is she on to here?
0:42:27 > 0:42:30Cigarette dispenser?
0:42:32 > 0:42:33How does this work, Lewis?
0:42:33 > 0:42:37What you basically do is pull that lever back...
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Yeah. A cigarette pops up.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42- You pop your cigarette in there, right?- Yeah.
0:42:43 > 0:42:48Pull that lever and it shoots the cigarette through the torpedo hole.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50Oh.
0:42:50 > 0:42:51Why would you want to do that
0:42:51 > 0:42:54if you've had to put it in in the first place?
0:42:54 > 0:42:59- If you stand in the right direction and the right height...- Yeah?
0:42:59 > 0:43:03- ..it shoots it straight into your mouth.- Oh, for goodness' sake!
0:43:04 > 0:43:06Very good, Lewis.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09This boat is likely to date from the 1940s
0:43:09 > 0:43:13and Margie thinks it falls into the collectable category of trench art,
0:43:13 > 0:43:18as it may have been made by a soldier or a POW during the war.
0:43:18 > 0:43:19Fire.
0:43:19 > 0:43:20LEVER CLICKS
0:43:20 > 0:43:23Ticketed at £49.
0:43:23 > 0:43:26- I must say I quite like that.- Yeah. - Right, well, I mustn't linger.
0:43:26 > 0:43:29No. One to think about.
0:43:29 > 0:43:31Right, what's spinning round in here?
0:43:32 > 0:43:34Let's have a look.
0:43:35 > 0:43:39Just have a look at this. What's this little chap here? Hey.
0:43:39 > 0:43:45This little wooden boot is a Victorian inkwell, priced at £52.
0:43:45 > 0:43:49It's very cute. It's got the original little bottle in.
0:43:49 > 0:43:52We've got a bit of damage.
0:43:52 > 0:43:54Oh, that's cute, isn't it? I quite like that.
0:43:56 > 0:43:59Margie seems to like it so that's her second possible.
0:44:00 > 0:44:04I will go for either the boot or the trench art, but I've got
0:44:04 > 0:44:08to make my mind up soon cos Charles Hanson is about to arrive.
0:44:10 > 0:44:12Speak of the devil.
0:44:12 > 0:44:16Lordy. Margie's on the move. Look at her shift.
0:44:16 > 0:44:18Oh, I can hear his car outside.
0:44:18 > 0:44:20If I bought the two items...
0:44:20 > 0:44:24- 30 for that.- Quick, quick. - 30 for that.- Yeah?- And...
0:44:24 > 0:44:26- Could that be 20?- 30...
0:44:26 > 0:44:30- I can't do... I can't...- 50 for the two.- I can't sanction that.
0:44:30 > 0:44:33- It's not my stock so... - I know it's not.- ..I'm limited.
0:44:33 > 0:44:36- You don't want to ring her? - We can phone, yeah.
0:44:36 > 0:44:39Hurry up, Lewis. I hope that dealer's on speed dial.
0:44:39 > 0:44:40Oops.
0:44:40 > 0:44:43- 28 you can have it. That'll do. - I've got the two in the bag.
0:44:43 > 0:44:45Got the 28 and I've got yours at...
0:44:45 > 0:44:4825.
0:44:48 > 0:44:4953.
0:44:49 > 0:44:53For £53, she takes the 1940s cigarette dispenser
0:44:53 > 0:44:55and the Victorian inkwell,
0:44:55 > 0:44:58and just in time cos here comes Charles.
0:44:59 > 0:45:03- How are you? - Fine, thank you.- Charles Hanson.
0:45:03 > 0:45:05- Is she here yet?- She is. She is.
0:45:05 > 0:45:08- Margie Cooper's here?- Yes.- OK, fine.
0:45:08 > 0:45:10I'll go for a little mingle round and if you see her...
0:45:10 > 0:45:11I'm incognito.
0:45:11 > 0:45:17- Oh, it's you! You!- How are you? - Well, late. I'm late!
0:45:17 > 0:45:20I know you're late. It's been terrific. I've had hours here.
0:45:20 > 0:45:25- Have you been a magpie around the entire...?- I'm done and dusted.
0:45:25 > 0:45:30- You're joking.- You're on your own, kid. Good luck, mate. See you.
0:45:30 > 0:45:37Margie leaves Charles to it, with over £428 still in his pocket.
0:45:41 > 0:45:43Margie never found the basement.
0:45:43 > 0:45:47Yes. What's great is down here,
0:45:47 > 0:45:50this teapot goes back to 1810.
0:45:50 > 0:45:56We're talking what essentially is a boat-shaped, octagonal teapot,
0:45:56 > 0:46:01beautifully painted in a whimsical, regency style.
0:46:01 > 0:46:04What's really nice is you get the teapot stand, as well.
0:46:05 > 0:46:09Yeah, priced at just £12.50, it's one to leave to brew.
0:46:09 > 0:46:13What I do quite like, having just come upstairs, and sometimes
0:46:13 > 0:46:16you need your mates with you, are the seven dwarfs down here,
0:46:16 > 0:46:19and they're really quite sweet.
0:46:19 > 0:46:21Hey, guys, you fancy coming to Norfolk with me?
0:46:23 > 0:46:26These seven chaps are priced at £49.
0:46:26 > 0:46:30With nothing else to tease him on this floor, Charles heads upstairs.
0:46:33 > 0:46:39That's nice. What we've got here is a very nice dish from circa 1810.
0:46:39 > 0:46:42This dish, although it is very oriental,
0:46:42 > 0:46:45was in fact made in Staffordshire, and the body,
0:46:45 > 0:46:51you'll see from the slightly bluish glaze, is a pearlware.
0:46:51 > 0:46:54Ticketed at £20, Charles is interested.
0:46:54 > 0:46:57I'll leave that down there.
0:46:57 > 0:47:02- Sharon?- Yes?- I just wonder, this jardiniere over here...- Yes.
0:47:02 > 0:47:04..which has a plant in it, is it for sale?
0:47:04 > 0:47:07- Yes, it is. - How much is it? Is it yours?- Yeah.
0:47:07 > 0:47:11- Has it not got a price mark? - It's a bit cracked.- I know it is.
0:47:11 > 0:47:14- Let me give you that plant. - It's not wet, is it?
0:47:16 > 0:47:20This porcelain jardiniere is Japanese and is over 100 years old.
0:47:20 > 0:47:23Sharon and Lewis even have a stand to go with it.
0:47:23 > 0:47:28Oh, that's nice. I just need something which has a look.
0:47:28 > 0:47:32Indeed, a grand stand for a Japanese pot.
0:47:33 > 0:47:35If I said to you...
0:47:36 > 0:47:40.."Would you sell the two together," what would be your best price?
0:47:40 > 0:47:4175 for the two.
0:47:43 > 0:47:46I'm going to come to some decisions now, if that's OK with you, Sharon.
0:47:46 > 0:47:48- Yeah. - OK. Let me show you over here.
0:47:48 > 0:47:52- I brought this downstairs from your top floor.- Yes. Yes.
0:47:52 > 0:47:56That's a nice dish. What would be the best on that?
0:47:56 > 0:47:5715 on that.
0:47:57 > 0:48:00You wouldn't take ten for it, would you?
0:48:00 > 0:48:02Meet me halfway at 12?
0:48:02 > 0:48:04- Go on, I'll do it for 12. - Are you sure?- Yes.
0:48:04 > 0:48:07Sold one. We've got a deal. Thank you, Sharon. That's great.
0:48:07 > 0:48:09- So I've bought one thing.- Yes.
0:48:09 > 0:48:15- In your cellar, there is a teapot and cover on stand.- Right.
0:48:15 > 0:48:18- May I just run and get it for you now very quickly?- Yes, yes.- OK.
0:48:18 > 0:48:22- I'll be back in ten seconds, OK? Count me in.- I will.
0:48:30 > 0:48:31- Nine, ten.- Oh, yes.
0:48:31 > 0:48:35- Is it yours?- That is ours, yeah. - Oh, well done. £12.50.
0:48:35 > 0:48:39- We're doing that for 12, aren't we? - Yeah.- 8. So 20 for the two.
0:48:40 > 0:48:44I'll take that. That's one more down. What else have I seen?
0:48:44 > 0:48:47- I like the dwarves. Are they yours? - Yes.- Where do they come from?
0:48:47 > 0:48:49- The garden in Lincolnshire. - Did they?
0:48:49 > 0:48:52I think they've been almost highlighted.
0:48:52 > 0:48:54Their colours are so flashy, aren't they?
0:48:54 > 0:48:58They're priced at £49 for seven.
0:48:58 > 0:49:02- Would you take £25?- Yes.- Done.
0:49:02 > 0:49:03Thank you very much.
0:49:03 > 0:49:06There we go. We're not hanging around, now. Bang, bang, bang.
0:49:06 > 0:49:07Going, going, gone.
0:49:07 > 0:49:13- That's three things.- Yes. - I do like this.- What were we at, 75?
0:49:13 > 0:49:17- 50 and our wagons roll. - If you're happy on that. Yes?
0:49:17 > 0:49:22- I'm happy and you know it. Clap your hands.- Yes.- I'll take it.
0:49:22 > 0:49:24Thanks a lot. Thank you so much.
0:49:24 > 0:49:28- That's all right.- Give us a kiss. Thanks very much.
0:49:28 > 0:49:29After struggling yesterday,
0:49:29 > 0:49:32Charles has bought four items in as many minutes.
0:49:32 > 0:49:34The pearlware plate,
0:49:34 > 0:49:37the Staffordshire teapot,
0:49:37 > 0:49:40a large Japanese jardiniere with a stand,
0:49:40 > 0:49:42and seven garden gnomes,
0:49:42 > 0:49:44all for £95,
0:49:44 > 0:49:46and that brings our shopping to an end.
0:49:47 > 0:49:49Until next time. Bye!
0:49:51 > 0:49:54On the last haul, Charles married together the pearlware plate
0:49:54 > 0:49:58and Staffordshire teapot into one lot.
0:49:58 > 0:50:01His other buys include a pair of Royal Dux figurines,
0:50:01 > 0:50:03a Victorian rosewood box,
0:50:03 > 0:50:05and an 18th-century cornice.
0:50:05 > 0:50:08All that lot cost him £163.
0:50:10 > 0:50:14Margie parted with £144,
0:50:14 > 0:50:16buying an Edwardian toilet mirror,
0:50:16 > 0:50:17a gramophone,
0:50:17 > 0:50:19a 1950s glass vase,
0:50:19 > 0:50:21a 1930s stepladder,
0:50:21 > 0:50:23a Victorian inkwell
0:50:23 > 0:50:25and a wooden cigarette dispenser.
0:50:25 > 0:50:28Like the look of the competition, guys?
0:50:28 > 0:50:30Margie's bought really well this time.
0:50:30 > 0:50:31The gramophone, well, Margie,
0:50:31 > 0:50:34we all like sweet music and roll back the years because
0:50:34 > 0:50:38they're wonderful objects, it's in a great case and that's a star buy.
0:50:38 > 0:50:41I think that stands out, that carved piece of wood.
0:50:41 > 0:50:45Probably 18th century. Gilded. I like it very much.
0:50:46 > 0:50:50The final stop of this leg is located in the Norfolk countryside
0:50:50 > 0:50:52in the attractive market town of Aylsham.
0:50:54 > 0:50:55Oh!
0:50:55 > 0:50:58Oh, it's a bit damp today.
0:50:58 > 0:51:00- I've got a wet leg. - I know. My leg's wet.
0:51:00 > 0:51:02I'm not sure what's happened, Margie.
0:51:02 > 0:51:05It's either the nerves or it's the rain.
0:51:05 > 0:51:07Not a good thought, that.
0:51:07 > 0:51:10This leg's auction is taking place at Keys Auctioneers, a local
0:51:10 > 0:51:16institution, and they've been selling from here for well over 60 years.
0:51:16 > 0:51:19I think there's two things. It's getting out of the car
0:51:19 > 0:51:22and also getting out here without a huge loss.
0:51:23 > 0:51:25Come on, man.
0:51:25 > 0:51:28Our auctioneer today is Dave Gould.
0:51:28 > 0:51:32Time now for Charles and Margie to take their seats.
0:51:33 > 0:51:39The first lot to go under Dave's gavel is Charles's seven gnomes.
0:51:39 > 0:51:42I've got to start these on commissions at £30 here.
0:51:42 > 0:51:45Come on, let's go. Come on. Let's go. Come on.
0:51:45 > 0:51:49- 32, 35.- Let's go.
0:51:49 > 0:51:54- It's sticky.- 35. It's with me.- Come on, sell. One more. 35. One more.
0:51:54 > 0:51:57- They were cheap.- They were cheap. Doesn't matter.
0:51:57 > 0:51:58Doesn't matter, Margie.
0:51:58 > 0:51:59Kicking off with a profit.
0:51:59 > 0:52:03Next up, Margie's Edwardian toilet mirror.
0:52:03 > 0:52:0530? 30. 30? 30. 30? 30.
0:52:05 > 0:52:0632, 35.
0:52:06 > 0:52:10You're flying high, Margie. Doubled up.
0:52:10 > 0:52:1248. 48? 48. 50.
0:52:12 > 0:52:15Margie Cooper, take a bow.
0:52:15 > 0:52:17Come on.
0:52:17 > 0:52:19All out now then at 50.
0:52:19 > 0:52:22- Margie Cooper! - It's not that brilliant.- 25.
0:52:22 > 0:52:25That's the biggest profit of the day so far. Take a bow.
0:52:25 > 0:52:30We're only two lots in, Charles. But, yes, Margie's doubled her money.
0:52:30 > 0:52:32This chap with a stick is telling us
0:52:32 > 0:52:36Charles's Japanese jardiniere and stand is up next.
0:52:36 > 0:52:39I've got to start that one here at 35.
0:52:39 > 0:52:42Come on. I'm behind. Come on.
0:52:42 > 0:52:44- 38, 40.- Come on, sir.
0:52:44 > 0:52:47- Come on.- 49. 50.
0:52:47 > 0:52:49- 55, 60.- Come on!
0:52:49 > 0:52:53Yes, over there. Sorry. Sorry.
0:52:53 > 0:52:56- With you, madam.- Thank you very much, madam.- Anyone else now?
0:52:56 > 0:53:01- Away now then at 65.- OK. That's OK.
0:53:01 > 0:53:04A strong profit for Charles. Well done.
0:53:04 > 0:53:08It's that stick again. Margie's stepladders are up now.
0:53:08 > 0:53:11Start this here at £15.
0:53:11 > 0:53:15- My money back.- £50? £50?- 15, 15.
0:53:15 > 0:53:18Maiden bid with commissions and I'll sell away now at 15.
0:53:18 > 0:53:23- Got away with it. Got away with it. - That's good. £15. Broken even.
0:53:23 > 0:53:26It will be a small loss after commission, though.
0:53:26 > 0:53:27But it's early days.
0:53:27 > 0:53:33Charles loved the carved 18th-century cornice. How will it do?
0:53:33 > 0:53:35I've got to start this at £30 I'm bid.
0:53:35 > 0:53:38- It could bomb.- 30? 30. 30? 30.
0:53:38 > 0:53:42- Doesn't matter. That's OK.- 35? 35.
0:53:42 > 0:53:45- 38. 40.- Go on. One more.
0:53:45 > 0:53:48- 42. 45.- Go on, sir. One more.
0:53:48 > 0:53:51- I'll sell them at 45.- History.
0:53:51 > 0:53:56Someone's got a so-called 300-year-old cornice for a steal.
0:53:56 > 0:53:58The next lot is Margie's 1950s glass vase.
0:53:58 > 0:54:01£10 here for that at 10.
0:54:01 > 0:54:0210? 10. At 12? 12.
0:54:02 > 0:54:0515? At 15. 15. 18? At 18.
0:54:05 > 0:54:0718? 18. 18?
0:54:07 > 0:54:10Go on. At 18. 18. 18. It's in front.
0:54:10 > 0:54:12It goes now at 18.
0:54:12 > 0:54:15- 18. Got a tenner. - That's good. Oh, that's great.
0:54:15 > 0:54:18It is. And Margie's slowly stretching ahead.
0:54:18 > 0:54:21Charles's next lot was supposed to be the pearlware plate and the teapot.
0:54:21 > 0:54:26However, the plate was broken during the auction viewing - a tragedy.
0:54:26 > 0:54:29The auction house has given an insurance valuation of £45
0:54:29 > 0:54:32for both items and if the teapot on its own sells for any less,
0:54:32 > 0:54:35Charles will still receive 45.
0:54:35 > 0:54:36Make sense? Good.
0:54:36 > 0:54:38What a shame.
0:54:38 > 0:54:41Yeah, the teapot's great. OK. I'm still standing, Margie.
0:54:41 > 0:54:44At £10. At 10. 10, 10, 10,
0:54:44 > 0:54:46- 12, 15.- Very attractive.- At 15, 18.
0:54:46 > 0:54:49- Very lovely, yeah. I love it.- £20.
0:54:49 > 0:54:5120. Commission takes it away again.
0:54:51 > 0:54:53That's broken even.
0:54:54 > 0:54:57Hammer's gone down at 20, but the insurance was 45,
0:54:57 > 0:55:00so Charles walks away with a £25 profit.
0:55:00 > 0:55:03Smashing. Now time for Margie's cigarette dispenser.
0:55:03 > 0:55:06Start me, then, at 10. 10, 12, 15.
0:55:06 > 0:55:1018, 20? At 20. 2, do you want? 22.
0:55:10 > 0:55:12- 25.- Margie, you're flying high. - No, I'm not.
0:55:12 > 0:55:15At 22. 22. 25. 25.
0:55:15 > 0:55:1728. 28. 28, you're sure?
0:55:17 > 0:55:18- Come on.- At 28. 28.
0:55:18 > 0:55:21- 28. 28. With Nelson, away it goes now.- That's good, Margie.
0:55:21 > 0:55:22No, it's not!
0:55:22 > 0:55:24Is that profit for you?
0:55:24 > 0:55:26If should have made about £70.
0:55:26 > 0:55:28It made Margie a few pounds' profit.
0:55:29 > 0:55:33Now it's the turn of Charles's Royal Dux figurines.
0:55:33 > 0:55:35- Unfortunately, a bit of damage. - Don't say that!
0:55:35 > 0:55:39One hand been cut in half and glued together, but still a nice pair.
0:55:39 > 0:55:40Well, that's killed them.
0:55:40 > 0:55:41Hey, let's see.
0:55:41 > 0:55:4425. 25.
0:55:44 > 0:55:47- 28. 30...- Hey, there you go.
0:55:47 > 0:55:49- 35.- Come on!- 38.
0:55:49 > 0:55:51At 38. 38. 40.
0:55:51 > 0:55:55- At 40. 40, 40, 40, 40. - Come on. Let's go.
0:55:55 > 0:55:57That's where we're stuck now then at £40.
0:55:57 > 0:55:59I'm delighted with that, Margie. I'm over the moon.
0:55:59 > 0:56:02- That's a great return. - Well done.- Thanks, Margie.
0:56:02 > 0:56:04Well done indeed. A cracking return.
0:56:04 > 0:56:08Next, Margie's Victorian ink well.
0:56:08 > 0:56:11- We'll start that at £10 here. - Oh, Margie Cooper!
0:56:11 > 0:56:1412, 15. At 15. 15, 18.
0:56:14 > 0:56:17At 18. 18, 20.
0:56:17 > 0:56:20- At 20.- 2.- At 20. Lady takes a seat and you're all out?
0:56:20 > 0:56:22Away it goes, then, at 20.
0:56:23 > 0:56:26That was so cheap. That was so cheap!
0:56:26 > 0:56:28That's a shame, Margie.
0:56:28 > 0:56:32Will Charles have better luck with his piece of Victoriana?
