0:00:02 > 0:00:05- It's the nation's favourite antiques experts.- This is beautiful.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07That's the way to do this.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09With £200 each, a classic car, and a goal -
0:00:09 > 0:00:12to scour for antiques.
0:00:12 > 0:00:13- Joy.- Hello.
0:00:13 > 0:00:14The aim -
0:00:14 > 0:00:17to make the biggest profit at auction. But it's no mean feat.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22There will 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.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Today, we begin a brand-new adventure with Road Trip royalty.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47It's queen of auctions Anita Manning
0:00:47 > 0:00:49and king of doing a deal Philip Serrell.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Philip, are you quite excited because it's a new adventure
0:00:55 > 0:00:58- and you're sitting beside a beautiful woman?- I am indeedy.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00I am indeedy.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Everywhere I go, people say to me, "What's that lovely Anita Manning like?"
0:01:04 > 0:01:06- and do you know what I say to them? - What do you say, darling?
0:01:06 > 0:01:09- She is awful. - Oh, no!- Absolutely awful.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- I don't believe you! - You work with her...
0:01:12 > 0:01:14What a diva. What an absolute diva.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Don't listen to him, Anita.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22One of Scotland's first female auctioneers, our Anita
0:01:22 > 0:01:26is more of a smiling assassin when it comes to getting a discount.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30I was kind of looking to pay about £20.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Her rival on this journey is esteemed auctioneer Philip.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Full of fun and games.
0:01:41 > 0:01:42Shame.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Starting this trip with £200 each, our expert pair will be
0:01:46 > 0:01:51pootling around in a left-hand-drive 1966 Fiat 500.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55Do you think I should get out and push? Do you?
0:01:55 > 0:01:58It might go faster.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01I think... I'm not sure whether you drive this or wear it.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06They are snug in there, aren't they?
0:02:08 > 0:02:11This Road Trip kicks off in Windermere in the Lake District
0:02:11 > 0:02:15and travels over 1,200 miles around the north of England,
0:02:15 > 0:02:18crossing the border into Scotland, before heading south again
0:02:18 > 0:02:21and ending their trip in Crooklands, Cumbria.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27This leg will kick off in Windermere
0:02:27 > 0:02:30and finish up at auction in Cleveleys, near Blackpool.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Anita Manning, what have you done to this weather?
0:02:35 > 0:02:37What have you done?
0:02:37 > 0:02:42- Philip, it's lovely.- What do you call this in Scotland, dreich?
0:02:42 > 0:02:45But, Philip, there's sunshine in our heart
0:02:45 > 0:02:49- because we're at the beginning of a new adventure.- Oh, absolutely.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51We are.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55We're in the heart of the Lake District, in wonderful Windermere.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Philip's arrived at Courtyard Cottage Antiques.
0:03:00 > 0:03:01How are you?
0:03:01 > 0:03:05- Hello.- We've met before, haven't we?- We have, yes.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- I've seen you're selling your shop. - We are.- Now, my budget's £200.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- I don't suppose...? No?- No, you're a little short. I'm sorry.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Story of my life, that.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- I'm going to have a look round and I'll catch you in a minute.- OK.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20Nice try, Philip. Best find something a bit more in your budget, eh?
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- Jean?- Yes?
0:03:29 > 0:03:30What are these off here?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Are they off a buffalo or a bison or something?
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Could be a Highlander.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Do you know what the difference is between a bison and a buffalo?
0:03:37 > 0:03:39I'll try my best Birmingham accent.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- BIRMINGHAM ACCENT:- You can wash your hands in a bi-son.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45SAD TRUMPET SOUND It's the way you tell them. Oh, Lordy.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- Pitiful, really, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- I'm sorry. You all right? - Can you try harder?- No.
0:03:51 > 0:03:56Terrible jokes aside, let's get a closer look at those horns.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58- How much are these, Jean? - 65.- 65.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- They're just a cow's horn, aren't they?- Yes.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03So it's just a by-product of what it is.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- There's no actual hunting gone on just for these.- No.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08What I'm trying to say is, they're not a trophy, are they?
0:04:08 > 0:04:10- They are not.- Right.
0:04:10 > 0:04:1165...
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- Look at this. Look at it. - JEAN LAUGHS
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Philip's putting the dusty cow horns aside as a possibility.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34And it looks like a small leather-topped children's stool
0:04:34 > 0:04:36has also caught Philip's eye.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Ticket price is £45.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44That at auction is going to make... 20-30 quid, isn't it?
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Ooh, 'eck.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48I like it when it's "ooh, 'eck".
0:04:48 > 0:04:51So is that a Lake District expression?
0:04:51 > 0:04:52£30.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58I want to buy the horns.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00The horns can be 45.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02How much can you do the two for?
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- I'll be really generous. - I like this.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- £60 for the two. - 50 quid for the two.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14I agree with you at £50.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- You sure?- Yes. - I want you to be happy.- I'm happy.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Go on. I'll shake you by the hand, my love. Thank you very much.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Philip's kicked off his Road Trip with two generous deals,
0:05:24 > 0:05:29securing the cow horns for £25 and another 25 for the stool.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33He's so bullish. Ha!
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Anita has made her way to Kendal...
0:05:40 > 0:05:44..known as the Auld Grey Town thanks to its grey limestone.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Kendal is well known for its mint cake, though,
0:05:47 > 0:05:52an essential prerequisite of today's explorers and mountaineers.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Anita's first shop of this trip is the Antiques Emporium.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58How lovely.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- Hello, there. Hello. - I'm Anita.- Hi, I'm Chris.
0:06:01 > 0:06:06With a wide range of antiques, collectables and vintage pieces,
0:06:06 > 0:06:09there's bound to be something to suit Anita's taste here.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14A woman's work is never done.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26Cabinets always fascinate me. I'm always drawn to the cabinets.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30First to spark Anita's interest
0:06:30 > 0:06:34are a yellow-metal amethyst-set bar brooch and an Art Deco clip.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40This style is 1930s.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Maybe...between '20s and '40s.
0:06:43 > 0:06:48And I think it might be a wee bit more modern than that.
0:06:48 > 0:06:53I think that it's a replica, rather than a period one.
0:06:53 > 0:06:59It's not absolutely right, but at the same time, it's a nice thing.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00It's a nice piece.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02And it's nice and fresh,
0:07:02 > 0:07:06and I'm hoping that it would appeal to the ladies who
0:07:06 > 0:07:10come along to auction and fancy giving themselves a wee treat.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12I'm sure it will.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Chris has headed off to phone the dealer to see
0:07:15 > 0:07:18if there's any movement on the ticket price of £42.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24- The very best I can do is £32. - 32?- Mm-hmm.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25I'm awful tempted.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Because I like it and I think that it's nice.
0:07:30 > 0:07:35It's only the sort of period that worries me a wee bit.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Do you think they would go to 30?
0:07:40 > 0:07:45- Go on. You've twisted my arm. - I don't want to twist your arm.- Oh.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- You've sweet-talked me into it. We'll do 30 for you. - Thank you very much.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50That's great, that's terrific.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Anita's not stopping there.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55She's spotted something else in the cabinets.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59I'm intrigued by this little plaque at the back.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Joan of Arc.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- Could I have a wee look at it, please?- Certainly.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09This is a copper plaque that's been plated with white metal
0:08:09 > 0:08:11and there's probably a bit of age to it,
0:08:11 > 0:08:14but neither Chris nor the dealer know anything more.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18Is Anita willing to risk purchasing this mysterious lot?
0:08:18 > 0:08:20The ticket price is £22.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25There's a little bit of leeway on it.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28We can do £18 for it, and that's his bottom line.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- That's his bottom line? - Yes.- I'm tempted.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Like, my heart's saying yes, but my head's saying,
0:08:34 > 0:08:36is somebody else going to be as interested in it as me?
0:08:36 > 0:08:40- It just needs somebody interested on the day, doesn't it?- Yeah.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- Yeah, I'm going to go for it. - OK, lovely.- Thank you very much.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45Thank you very much.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49That's the commemorative Joan of Arc plaque and the brooch
0:08:49 > 0:08:53and Art Deco pin bought for £48.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01Philip is now joining Anita in Kendal.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04He's come to Sleddall Hall Antiques Centre,
0:09:04 > 0:09:06housed in a 17th-century manor house.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Philip's being looked after today by dealer Andrew.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16- You've got interesting things everywhere here.- It's amazing.
0:09:16 > 0:09:17I've got to ask you,
0:09:17 > 0:09:21what's the longest you've ever had anything in stock for?
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Well, we sold something the other day that we'd had for 40 years.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28- 40 years?! That's nearly as old as me.- That was incredible.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- Did you make profit on it? - We did make a profit on it.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- We got pretty close to the asking price, so...- Really?
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Yes, it was very good.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- I tell you what, I love that, Andrew.- That's amazing.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42You've got a handcrafted pub game there, skittles.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46- Somebody's made this who goes to the pub, haven't they?- Absolutely.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48All you've got is a bit of stained hardboard here.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- Or plywood, isn't it?- It is plywood.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54It was probably made in the '50s, just post-war.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56- I would say post-war.- Just post-war.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Well, have a go, then.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59Oh, here we go.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- There we go.- Are you ready for this?- I'm ready for this.- How many?
0:10:02 > 0:10:04I'd say you'll get five.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07There you are, four.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09So close.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12So, what's the ticket price on that, Andrew?
0:10:12 > 0:10:14We've got a ticket price of £80.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- And there's some movement in price on that?- We can always negotiate.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22- OK.- Knock it down a bit. Sounds like the skittles are in the running.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23Anything else?
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Andrew, this is fantastic, isn't it?
0:10:28 > 0:10:32That's a wonderful example of polished fossils, isn't it?
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- What's interesting... I used to teach geography.- Yes.- Badly.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38So I should know Jurassic
0:10:38 > 0:10:42and all the other different periods of history,
0:10:42 > 0:10:43but I don't.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46But I would think this is several million years in age.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50- Really ancient.- And as you say, it's been polished.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54Would this have come from Africa or Morocco or somewhere?
0:10:54 > 0:10:56I would imagine, or even China,
0:10:56 > 0:10:58you never know where these things come from these days.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02- How much is that?- We've got a ticket price on that of £75.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05I quite like that. I do think that's quite a...
0:11:07 > 0:11:10..fun thing, and I'm willing to bet that it would be the oldest thing
0:11:10 > 0:11:12- in the auction. - I would imagine it would be.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15It's probably one of the oldest things in the shop.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17- It's not as old as you and me, is it?- Not quite!
0:11:19 > 0:11:21The slab of Mesozoic-era fossils
0:11:21 > 0:11:24and that pub skittles game
0:11:24 > 0:11:28have a combined ticket price of £155.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32- The fossils will make £40-£60.- Yes.
0:11:32 > 0:11:38Realistically, I think I can give £30-£35 for them.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42For me, the game is £20-£25 worth.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44So you're wanting to pay...
0:11:44 > 0:11:4860 quid for the two. Well, £55, £60 for the two.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Call it £65 and we'll have a deal for you at that.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- So what we're talking about is £35 for the fossils.- Correct.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57- And £30 for the game.- Correct. - You're happy with that?- Yes.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58I will shake you by the hand.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02- Thank you very much, I'd better give you some money now!- Yes, please.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06A very generous discount, and a great deal done. Marvellous!
0:12:09 > 0:12:13Anita is still in Kendal and has travelled five minutes
0:12:13 > 0:12:16down the road to the Museum of Lakeland Life and Industry
0:12:16 > 0:12:17at Abbot Hall.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21She's come to find out about the mysterious author behind one
0:12:21 > 0:12:26of the most famous children's novels of all time, Swallows And Amazons.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35Arthur Ransome had a lifelong love affair with the Lake District
0:12:35 > 0:12:38but also spent many, many years in Bolshevik Russia,
0:12:38 > 0:12:42and rumours still persist that he may have been a spy.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Here to tell Anita all about this fascinating man
0:12:48 > 0:12:51is Geraint Lewis from the Arthur Ransome Trust.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56We associate Arthur Ransome with the Lakes.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00- How did this association start? Was he born here?- He wasn't, no.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02He was born in Leeds.
0:13:02 > 0:13:07When he was just born, his father carried Arthur Ransome up to the top
0:13:07 > 0:13:10of the Old Man of Coniston as a sort of welcome to the area.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14Arthur Ransome just developed that love from his earliest beginnings,
0:13:14 > 0:13:17from childhood holidays at Coniston Water.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20I suppose he carried this area in his heart with him.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23He did in his heart, and quite literally as well, because
0:13:23 > 0:13:26he carried a little rock throughout his life when he travelled.
0:13:26 > 0:13:31I love that idea, of carrying a bit of this wonderful area with him
0:13:31 > 0:13:32throughout his travels.
0:13:34 > 0:13:39Ransome had a passion for writing from an early age, and in 1902,
0:13:39 > 0:13:43aged 18, he moved to London, where he mixed with the artistic scene
0:13:43 > 0:13:46and started publishing his work to great acclaim.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48But an interest in folklore
0:13:48 > 0:13:51led Ransome to St Petersburg in Russia.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57Did he do any work over there, apart from his writing at that point?
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Initially he was interested in the writing, but of course in 1914
0:14:01 > 0:14:05the war began and an opportunity came up by accident, really,
0:14:05 > 0:14:08for him to become a war correspondent for the Daily News.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12That is the perfect job for him, telling stories.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16In 1917, the Russian Revolution happened,
0:14:16 > 0:14:19so he was excellently placed to become a political journalist,
0:14:19 > 0:14:23reporting on the rapidly evolving politics of Russia.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27It must have been a very scary time to be in Russia at that point.
0:14:27 > 0:14:28I think so.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32He was one of a few Westerners, really, who were in Russia
0:14:32 > 0:14:34through that kind of period.
0:14:34 > 0:14:39That made him of interest to the Bolshevik and British governments,
0:14:39 > 0:14:43because he was one of the very few people who could actually
0:14:43 > 0:14:46give first-hand knowledge of what the other side was thinking,
0:14:46 > 0:14:48and what their mind-set was.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Are you telling me that he was a spy?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53It's difficult to say,
0:14:53 > 0:14:57but we do know that he was recruited by MI6 in 1919
0:14:57 > 0:14:59when he was in Stockholm
0:14:59 > 0:15:03and the evidence suggests that they helped to persuade,
0:15:03 > 0:15:07or encourage, the Russian government to let him back into Russia.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09For two reasons.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12One, because he wanted to write a history of the Russian Revolution,
0:15:12 > 0:15:15which the Bolshevik government was very keen on his doing,
0:15:15 > 0:15:19but also so the British government could get a report from him of
0:15:19 > 0:15:23what was going on in a country which at the time they knew nothing about.
0:15:23 > 0:15:28Rumours persisted about Ransome's sympathy for the Bolsheviks,
0:15:28 > 0:15:31as he mixed with many of the leading Communists,
0:15:31 > 0:15:33including Lenin and Trotsky.
0:15:33 > 0:15:38Within this elite circle, he got to know one person particularly well.
0:15:38 > 0:15:44He married Evgenia Shelepina, who was Trotsky's secretary, in 1924.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46He moved straight back to Britain after that
0:15:46 > 0:15:50and they went to live near Windermere.
0:15:50 > 0:15:56So he came back, he brought his Russian bride to live in the Lakes.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01It was a far cry from the turbulent world of post-war Russia,
0:16:01 > 0:16:05and it was in this calm and remote landscape that Ransome
0:16:05 > 0:16:10conceived the idea for his children's novel Swallows And Amazons.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13What inspired him to write this book?
0:16:13 > 0:16:15It was two inspirations, really.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19One was his own childhood in and around Coniston Water,
0:16:19 > 0:16:20and memories of that.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Those were really reignited in 1928
0:16:23 > 0:16:27when he spent a lot of time with the daughter and grandchildren
0:16:27 > 0:16:31of WG Collingwood, and between them acquired two dinghies, which they
0:16:31 > 0:16:35spent a lot of time sailing in during the time they were there,
0:16:35 > 0:16:39and that I think reignited his thoughts, and eventually
0:16:39 > 0:16:42led to the creative inspiration for Swallows And Amazons.
0:16:42 > 0:16:47Swallows And Amazons was to be the first in a series of 12 novels
0:16:47 > 0:16:50that Ransome wrote about the outdoor adventures
0:16:50 > 0:16:52enjoyed by two families of children.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Everyone has heard of Swallows And Amazons,
0:16:55 > 0:16:58and Arthur Ransome must have been one of the most popular
0:16:58 > 0:17:01children's authors of all time.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Yes, I think that's true.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05And I think one of the most respected as well.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08In 1936 they brought out an award, an annual award,
0:17:08 > 0:17:12called the Carnegie Medal for Outstanding Children's Literature,
0:17:12 > 0:17:16and he was awarded the first medal for the sixth book in the
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Swallows And Amazons series, Pigeon Post, and we have the medal here.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21That is quite something, isn't it?
0:17:21 > 0:17:25Subsequent winners of this include authors such as CS Lewis
0:17:25 > 0:17:28and Richard Adams and Philip Pullman,
0:17:28 > 0:17:30so it's certainly an award to treasure.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35After a life full of intrigue and adventure, Arthur Ransome
0:17:35 > 0:17:40died in June 1967 and was buried in his beloved Lake District.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44His children's novels remain in print today,
0:17:44 > 0:17:47and have sold millions of copies worldwide.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53It's been a busy old day for our experts,
0:17:53 > 0:17:56who are back together again for some well-earned rest.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57So, nighty-night.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06It's the next morning, and, hello, what's going on here, then?
0:18:06 > 0:18:10- Philip?- What? - What are we going to do?
0:18:10 > 0:18:11I don't know.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Looks like the car has finally packed in.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Our experts will have to think of a new mode of transport.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21There she goes.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23There's a couple of gee-gees up there.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25No, I don't like horses.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27I think we should retitle the programme.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31What about The Great Antiques Walk?
0:18:31 > 0:18:32Let's go for it.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38I think it's a bit optimistic to think you can walk the whole way,
0:18:38 > 0:18:40you two.
0:18:40 > 0:18:41Or should I say skip?
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Yesterday, Philip secured himself four lots.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51The cow horns, the children's stool, the bar skittles
0:18:51 > 0:18:56and the slab of fossils, which means he still has £85 in his pocket.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01While Anita only bought two lots.
0:19:01 > 0:19:02The brooch with the Art Deco clip
0:19:02 > 0:19:05and the commemorative Joan of Arc plaque,
0:19:05 > 0:19:09leaving her £152 available to spend.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13So, Anita has walked, and been driven,
0:19:13 > 0:19:18to her first stop of the day, in Cullingworth, West Yorkshire.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Situated in the heart of Bronte country,
0:19:20 > 0:19:25the pretty village of Cullingworth is home to Antiques at the Mill.
0:19:25 > 0:19:26Look at that!
0:19:30 > 0:19:35- Hi, I'm Anita.- How are you? How do you do?- It's lovely to be here.
0:19:35 > 0:19:40What a fabulous place. Was this originally a textile mill?
0:19:40 > 0:19:45That's right, an old textile mill that goes back to the 1800s.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49It's now filled with the wares of over 30 independent dealers.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58This is the type of object
0:19:58 > 0:20:01that Phil Serrell would be immediately drawn to.
0:20:01 > 0:20:06A big old broken rustic piece
0:20:06 > 0:20:09of what some people might call junk,
0:20:09 > 0:20:15but it's an interesting looking thing and it has age about it.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17It's had a wee bit of repair.
0:20:17 > 0:20:23So, it says on the ticket that there is a rustic rake and shovel.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25So we've got a rake as well.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29Steve, do we have the rake for this?
0:20:29 > 0:20:32We do have the rake. It's right above my head.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34That is fabulous.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36- Can I see it down?- You can indeed.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40- There we go.- OK.
0:20:40 > 0:20:47So, no great quality, but probably late 19th, early 20th century stuff.
0:20:47 > 0:20:52She sounds keen, so it's time to phone dealer Paul.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Ticket price is £50.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59I was kind of looking to pay about £20 on them.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Well... You don't get if you don't ask.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07£25? Could you take £25?
0:21:11 > 0:21:16You are an absolute darling! An absolute darling at £25.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20I'm really delighted. OK, bye-bye. Bye.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- £25.- You got a really good deal there. Well done.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27I was chatting him up.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Smooth talking, Anita.
0:21:34 > 0:21:35And she's not done yet.
0:21:39 > 0:21:45This little sewing box here would be from the 1950s.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47The top opens out.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53We can see all the little compartments for threads
0:21:53 > 0:21:56and needles and scissors and so on,
0:21:56 > 0:22:02and it's decorated with this quite crazy Fablon material here.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06Cheap, but stylish.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09I quite like that.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13And I think that it might be appealing.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Ticket price is £60,
0:22:16 > 0:22:21but Anita has asked Steve to contact the dealer with a cheeky bid of £30.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26- Any luck?- Right...
0:22:28 > 0:22:32Because it's such a popular item, he knows he can shift that,
0:22:32 > 0:22:34so £30 is a bit low.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37He will shift it at £40.
0:22:37 > 0:22:38How does that sound?
0:22:38 > 0:22:42- Let's go for that, thank you very much. I'm delighted.- Fantastic.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43Yeah, I bet!
0:22:43 > 0:22:45That's the 1950s sewing box
0:22:45 > 0:22:50and the rustic rake and shovel for a canny £65 total.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Philip is now taking our trip to Saltaire,
0:22:54 > 0:22:56a few miles north of Bradford.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02An area that played an important part in the Industrial Revolution
0:23:02 > 0:23:07with its population increasing by 90,000 in just 50 years,
0:23:07 > 0:23:09thanks to the textile boom.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13But the rapid growth of the city brought with it
0:23:13 > 0:23:14terrible social squalor.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18There was one local businessman, Titus Salt,
0:23:18 > 0:23:22who decided that his workers would not live
0:23:22 > 0:23:23in those horrific conditions,
0:23:23 > 0:23:27so he created a vision of industrial utopia.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Philip has arrived at Salt's Mill
0:23:30 > 0:23:32to meet curator Jen Hallam to find out more.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Titus started off his career as a wool stapler.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41- What's a wool stapler?- It's somebody who buys and sells wool.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43- So he's a wool trader?- Indeed, yes.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45It was on one of his visits to Liverpool
0:23:45 > 0:23:48that he spotted a load of greasy bales in the corner of a warehouse,
0:23:48 > 0:23:52and they were full of alpaca fleece that nobody wanted.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54He found a way of processing it,
0:23:54 > 0:23:59so this is the product of that invention.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02What differentiates this from other weaves or yarns,
0:24:02 > 0:24:03or wools, or whatever?
0:24:03 > 0:24:06The alpaca that Titus was able to create
0:24:06 > 0:24:10is incredibly fine and lustrous fabric - very, very popular.
0:24:10 > 0:24:15So popular that in fact Queen Victoria, who had a small
0:24:15 > 0:24:20flock of alpacas at Windsor, used to send the fleece up to Saltaire.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Titus Salt's successful business flourished.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25He soon had five factories in Bradford,
0:24:25 > 0:24:29but was aware of the terrible living conditions of his workers.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33Living conditions in Bradford were absolutely appalling.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37There are horrendous reports of, you know, a family of eight
0:24:37 > 0:24:39living in a damp cellar,
0:24:39 > 0:24:41with five children sleeping in one bed
0:24:41 > 0:24:45and the father, mother and grandmother sleeping in another bed.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47It really was appalling.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49There was no sewerage, no water supply.
0:24:49 > 0:24:54The canal and the Bradford Beck were basically open sewers.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Cholera, typhoid were both rife
0:24:56 > 0:25:00and there were some very severe outbreaks
0:25:00 > 0:25:01and an awful lot of people died.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04- So they didn't live overly long, did they?- They didn't.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08The average lifespan in Bradford at that time was just 18.5 years.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12- 18... Under 20 years?! - Under 20 years.
0:25:12 > 0:25:17Under 20 years, and in fact over half of all the wool combers'
0:25:17 > 0:25:20children didn't make it to the age of 15.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Oh, dear.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25It was because of this horrendous public health disaster
0:25:25 > 0:25:27that Salt decided to move away from the city
0:25:27 > 0:25:30and build a brand-new modern super mill,
0:25:30 > 0:25:33thought to be the largest in Europe when it opened.
0:25:33 > 0:25:38Situated on the banks of the River Aire, Salt didn't just build a mill,
0:25:38 > 0:25:43he planned to create a whole new township called Saltaire,
0:25:43 > 0:25:45declaring that it would become a community
0:25:45 > 0:25:47of well-fed and happy operatives.
0:25:47 > 0:25:52This mill building opened in 1853 and over the next 20 years,
0:25:52 > 0:25:57Salt actually built a village for his workers with 800 houses.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01He built churches, a school, a hospital, almshouses.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04There was a canteen, a factory canteen,
0:26:04 > 0:26:08that could accommodate 700-800 people at one sitting.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12Every house had its own water supply, gas supply.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14It had a minimum of two bedrooms.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Each house had its own outside toilet which,
0:26:17 > 0:26:19compared to the conditions in Bradford at the time,
0:26:19 > 0:26:22must've been absolutely astounding.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26In 1876, the last building at Saltaire was completed.
0:26:26 > 0:26:31Later that year, Sir Titus Salt died at home.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Along with Robert Owen, who created New Lanark,
0:26:34 > 0:26:37and the Cadbury family who built Bournville Village,
0:26:37 > 0:26:41Salt was a prominent reformer in the movement to improve
0:26:41 > 0:26:44the terrible living conditions of industrial workers.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49Back in Cullingworth, with the car still being fixed,
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Anita is using her initiative.
0:26:52 > 0:26:53Oh, this is great.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55I feel like the queen of the road!
0:26:55 > 0:26:58I'll look after him and I'll be careful.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00All right, see you later.
0:27:00 > 0:27:01Bye!
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Thank you, kind driver.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08OK, darling, we're off. Forward, Macduff!
0:27:08 > 0:27:11And you're a lot better looking than Phil Serrell.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Hey, cheeky!
0:27:16 > 0:27:21A lorry and a car ride later and Anita has arrived in Hebden Bridge.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25The town sits on the Rochdale Canal,
0:27:25 > 0:27:30popular with those who prefer a more sedate way to cross the Pennines.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36Anita is here to visit Caldene Antiques Centre.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51That looks like Anita's sort of thing, a 1940s lady's watch,
0:27:51 > 0:27:52possibly gold.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59- Can I have a wee look outside? - Course you can.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03- I want to try and find a hallmark. - See if there is a hallmark.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07I'm going to have a look at this watch,
0:28:07 > 0:28:11which is from the 1930s or 1940s.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14It's marked up at £22.
0:28:14 > 0:28:19Now, if that is gold, that's not a lot of money because,
0:28:19 > 0:28:22although the watch might not be working,
0:28:22 > 0:28:28there would be interest from people who buy gold.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30But I like the colour.
0:28:30 > 0:28:36I like the colour of the watch case and I think that might be gold.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41If I just open it gently, remove the mechanism...
0:28:43 > 0:28:46..and then I am looking in here for the hallmark.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51And that tells us that it is...
0:28:53 > 0:28:55..nine carat gold.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58So that's a good buy at £22.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02Great spot, even better if she could get it for less.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04Time to check with Carol.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Watch out, Carol.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09Is there any movement on that price?
0:29:09 > 0:29:11I'll have a look for you.
0:29:11 > 0:29:12Have a wee look.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16- Are they both out of the same cabinet?- Mm-hm.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21- We could do that one for £20. - You could do it for £20.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23Could you do it for £18?
0:29:27 > 0:29:30- Yes, take 18.- Yes, 18.- You can do it for 18. That's fine, that's fine.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34- That's great. Well, I'm very pleased.- OK, my love.
0:29:34 > 0:29:40So that's a nine carat gold cased lady's wristwatch for only £18.
0:29:40 > 0:29:41Well done.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Philip is also heading towards Hebden Bridge.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50It's a lovely part of the world, isn't it?
0:29:50 > 0:29:53He's hitched a ride with Roy and his grandson George.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56This is fantastic. Really, really kind of you.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Roy is a man of few words.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00A tractor, though,
0:30:00 > 0:30:03not surprising as Philip hails from generations of farmers.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05And PE teachers.
0:30:05 > 0:30:06Thank you very, very much.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14And dropped off right at the door of his final shop. Lucky devil.
0:30:17 > 0:30:18What a lovely man.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21What a really, really nice man.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25Right, down to business at Hebden Bridge Antiques.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28- Peter, how are you? - Nice to meet you.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32- That was some entrance, that was. - Well, you know, travelling in style.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35You're welcome to have a look around.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48That's interesting because at the back there,
0:30:48 > 0:30:53there's that silver ship's light and it looks like it's 47 quid.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56It's a cigar lighter. Hugely collectable.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01So if that's all the money, that is just for nothing.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05There's a problem. £475.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07What's that expression?
0:31:07 > 0:31:09"It's better to travel in expectation
0:31:09 > 0:31:11"than to arrive in disappointment."
0:31:11 > 0:31:15Anything else silver and cheaper take your fancy?
0:31:21 > 0:31:22That's quite nice.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26Very often, these have had an armorial or something here.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29- Yes. Quite often they do, yes.- That has been polished out, hasn't it?
0:31:29 > 0:31:33But it's got some nice gilding to the interior.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36This is a helmet-shaped cream jug.
0:31:36 > 0:31:37Chester hallmarks.
0:31:38 > 0:31:43This is a Georgian design that's been copied 100 or 80 years later.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46What do you think that'll make at auction?
0:31:46 > 0:31:49- £30-£50. - Yes, that's exactly what I think.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54Which means I've got to try and buy it off you for £20-£25.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57- Well, yes. - What's the price ticket? £80!
0:31:59 > 0:32:02Um... What can you do it for?
0:32:02 > 0:32:07For me, it's got to come in under £30, otherwise I can't look at it.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10Why don't we try £45?
0:32:10 > 0:32:13- That's not under £30, is it?- No.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17For me to buy it, it's got to come under £30, really, I think.
0:32:17 > 0:32:18£35?
0:32:20 > 0:32:24That's still got to make £40 for me to stand still with it.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27I could go to £25 for it, if that's any good to you.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31If it isn't it doesn't matter, but I could give that for it.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34How about pushing it slightly and go £28?
0:32:35 > 0:32:38Go on, then, you're a gentleman. Thank you very much indeed.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42With that very generous deal, both our experts are all bought up.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51Philip spent a total of £143 on five lots -
0:32:51 > 0:32:53the cow horns,
0:32:53 > 0:32:55the children's stool,
0:32:55 > 0:32:56the bar skittles,
0:32:56 > 0:32:58the slab of fossils
0:32:58 > 0:33:00and the Georgian-style cream jug.
0:33:02 > 0:33:07Anita spent a little less, shelling out £131
0:33:07 > 0:33:09on her five lots,
0:33:09 > 0:33:12buying the brooch with the Art Deco clip,
0:33:12 > 0:33:14the commemorative plaque,
0:33:14 > 0:33:16the rustic rake and shovel,
0:33:16 > 0:33:19the 1950s sewing box
0:33:19 > 0:33:21and the vintage lady's wristwatch.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25So, what do they make of each other's lots?
0:33:25 > 0:33:29I love Phil's items, they are so Phil.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33That lovely little stool, it's dinky, it's sweet,
0:33:33 > 0:33:35it's in good condition.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39Anita has bought some really good Anita lots.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42But she has also bought a couple of Phil Serrell lots.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45The rake and the fork... I mean, that's Serrell country, Manning.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47What are you doing?
0:33:47 > 0:33:50You know, she's bought them right enough, they should do money.
0:33:50 > 0:33:54That sewing box, I just do not understand that.
0:33:54 > 0:33:55I just don't like it.
0:33:55 > 0:34:00The cow horns, or the bull horns, they don't press any of my buttons.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03I don't care if I lose every penny today
0:34:03 > 0:34:07because I have had a ride on a tractor.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10I'd rather have a ride on a tractor than a concrete lorry. Hmph!
0:34:12 > 0:34:16After starting in Windermere, our experts are now en route
0:34:16 > 0:34:20to their very first auction of the trip in Cleveleys, near Blackpool.
0:34:20 > 0:34:25Let's hope their now-fixed car makes it.
0:34:25 > 0:34:29Do you know, the thing is, our road trip is like a rollercoaster.
0:34:29 > 0:34:30ANITA LAUGHS
0:34:30 > 0:34:33The "Auction Sale Big Dipper".
0:34:33 > 0:34:36We've had the highs, we've got the lows to come now.
0:34:38 > 0:34:42Well, don't worry, Phil, as you've made it safely to the auction house.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46OK, my old fossil, are you ready for this?
0:34:46 > 0:34:50I'm going to find a fossil, I think. In we go, then, happy days.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52- Here we go.- Presiding over today's proceedings
0:34:52 > 0:34:55is auctioneer Shaun Smythe.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58So, what does he make of our experts' lots?
0:34:58 > 0:35:00The two agricultural items,
0:35:00 > 0:35:03possibly maybe for a themed pub or something of that interest.
0:35:03 > 0:35:08The cow horns, we haven't had a great deal of interest in these,
0:35:08 > 0:35:09to be absolutely honest with you.
0:35:09 > 0:35:13The mid-century sewing box, they are quite collectable, these, at the moment,
0:35:13 > 0:35:17these particular 1950s, 1960s items, so might do well.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23Time will soon tell. Get comfortable, everyone.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28- Whoa. Packed room, isn't it? - Yeah, it's busy.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31- It's good.- Absolutely.
0:35:31 > 0:35:36First up is Philip's child stool. Will it prove to be a crowd-pleaser?
0:35:36 > 0:35:40- Do you need me to hold your hand? - £20 for this. 10. 10 I have. 12.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43- 14, 16, 18.- Yes!- 20.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46At £20 at the back. 22.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49- ANITA GASPS - 24. 26.
0:35:49 > 0:35:53At £26 on the front row. 28 anywhere? At £26.
0:35:53 > 0:35:58- 26, are we all finished? At £26... - Why are you cheering for me?
0:35:58 > 0:36:02- Because I love you.- Can't argue with that, really, can you?
0:36:02 > 0:36:06There was a little love in the room for Philip's stool, too.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11Will there be any left over for Anita's commemorative
0:36:11 > 0:36:13Joan of Arc plaque?
0:36:13 > 0:36:17Just a little question here. Is Joan of Arc big in Blackpool?
0:36:17 > 0:36:20- We'll see in a minute. - So, for this one, £30.
0:36:20 > 0:36:2220 I have. 22. At £22.
0:36:22 > 0:36:2524 anywhere? 24. 26. 28.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29At £28 on the staircase. 30.
0:36:29 > 0:36:3132. 34.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34- She IS big in Blackpool.- 36, 38.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36- She's very big in Blackpool.- 40.
0:36:36 > 0:36:41- It is getting bigger by the minute. - £38 on the second row. 40.
0:36:41 > 0:36:4542. 44.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48At £44, are we all done at 44?
0:36:48 > 0:36:52- Yes!- It's put me firmly in my place, hasn't it?
0:36:52 > 0:36:54Indeed. That's a storming start for Anita.
0:36:56 > 0:37:00- I wonder if it will be lady's day today.- Oh, do shut up.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03Now, now, no need to be bitter.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07Let's see if your pub skittles game will prove popular.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09£50 for this. 40.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12Come on, 30 I have, 32. At £32. 34 anywhere?
0:37:12 > 0:37:1634. 36. 38. 40. 42.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19At £42 at the back. 44 anywhere?
0:37:19 > 0:37:21At £42 for the skittles game, then.
0:37:21 > 0:37:27£42. 44 anywhere? Are we all finished at £42?
0:37:27 > 0:37:29- Are you happy?- Moderately.
0:37:29 > 0:37:33Surely you can crack a bit of a smile over that result.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35If you're in Liverpool, you're a Liverpudlian.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38If you're in Blackpool, are you a Blackpudlian?
0:37:39 > 0:37:43- I think I've lost her. - Sometimes I worry about you, Phil.
0:37:43 > 0:37:47Right, next up it's Anita's Serrell-like lot,
0:37:47 > 0:37:49the rustic rake and shovel.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52- £40 for this. £30.- Yes!- 20 I have.
0:37:52 > 0:37:5622. 24, £24 at the back. £24.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59- Yes!- 26 anywhere? At £24 at the back of the room.
0:37:59 > 0:38:0226. 28. 30.
0:38:02 > 0:38:06- At £30 at the back.- £30.- 30, then. Are we all done at £30? 32 anywhere?
0:38:06 > 0:38:09- All done at 30. All finished.- Yes!
0:38:11 > 0:38:13That's another profit for Anita. Great stuff.
0:38:16 > 0:38:21- Philip is playing catch-up with his cow horns next.- At £10, then, now.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24At 10. 12, at £12. 14. 16.
0:38:24 > 0:38:2918. 20. £20 on the front row. 22 anywhere?
0:38:29 > 0:38:32At £20 for the cow horns. Are we all done at 20? All finished?
0:38:36 > 0:38:37ANITA LAUGHS
0:38:37 > 0:38:40Ah, that will take the sting out of that loss.
0:38:44 > 0:38:48Next up it's Anita's great find, the gold wristwatch.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50£40, 30 I have.
0:38:50 > 0:38:5332, 34, 36. At £36. 38 anywhere?
0:38:53 > 0:38:55At £36, then, now.
0:38:55 > 0:38:5736, are we all finished?
0:38:57 > 0:38:59At £36, all done at 36?
0:39:01 > 0:39:04Another marvellous profit for our Lady Manning.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10And she's up again with that lot that Philip rubbished,
0:39:10 > 0:39:13her 1950s sewing box.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16For me, that's got that sort of November 5th look.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18- Bonfire?- Yeah.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21Very popular, these. What can I say for this one? £40, or 30 I have?
0:39:21 > 0:39:25- 32. 34. At £34. 36 at the back. - ANITA LAUGHS
0:39:25 > 0:39:28- At £36. 38.- Come on!- 40.
0:39:28 > 0:39:32- 42. 44.- I don't believe it, I just do not believe it.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34- Firewood is making profit. - £55 on my right.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36- 60 anywhere?- Absolute...
0:39:36 > 0:39:40- My flabber is completely gasted. - £65.
0:39:40 > 0:39:44- 60. At £60... - ANITA LAUGHS
0:39:44 > 0:39:47At £60, are we all done at £60? All done.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Look at that, she's done it again!
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Oh, Philip, this is not your day, is it?
0:39:54 > 0:39:58Can you redeem yourself with your slab of fossils?
0:39:58 > 0:40:0120. Well, 20 I have. 22.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05At £22. 24 anywhere? At £22. 24, 26.
0:40:05 > 0:40:0928. 30. 32.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12At £32, the gentleman sat down on the second row.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15- 34 anywhere?- Come on! - At £32, then, now.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17At 32. Are we all finished at 32?
0:40:17 > 0:40:20For the last time.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22I think you've bought the right things for this room
0:40:22 > 0:40:24and I don't think I have.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29Do you know, I think you've hit the nail on the head there, Phil.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33It's Anita's last lot now.
0:40:33 > 0:40:37Can she continue her run of profits with her brooch and Art Deco clip?
0:40:39 > 0:40:42£30 for those. 20. 10 I have. 12, 14. At £14.
0:40:42 > 0:40:4416 on the stairs. 18.
0:40:44 > 0:40:4820, 22. 24, 26, 28.
0:40:48 > 0:40:5230. 32. 34. 36.
0:40:52 > 0:40:5538. At £38. 40 anywhere? 40.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59At £40, then. £40 at the back of the room.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01Have we all finished at 40?
0:41:03 > 0:41:0540 is good enough for me.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07THEY LAUGH
0:41:07 > 0:41:11I'll say so. Anita ends on a high.
0:41:11 > 0:41:15I think for you to win, your cream jug will have to get £3,000.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18SHE LAUGHS
0:41:18 > 0:41:21Hey, it's unlikely, but stranger things have happened.
0:41:21 > 0:41:2450. 40 I have.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27- And £40. 42. 44. - And you're away, you're away.
0:41:27 > 0:41:32- 44. 46. 46. At £46. - Come on, come on!
0:41:32 > 0:41:36At £46. All finished at 46? 48.
0:41:36 > 0:41:3850. So £50 at the back, then.
0:41:38 > 0:41:42At 50, then. Are we all done at 50? All done.
0:41:42 > 0:41:46Might just have clawed me back to what I started with.
0:41:46 > 0:41:50A great result to end on, so well done.
0:41:50 > 0:41:54- Go on, then.- Cup of tea? - Why not? Arsenic.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58Before you have tea, let's work out the final figures.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Philip started this leg with £200.
0:42:02 > 0:42:06Unfortunately, he made a small loss of £3.60 after auction costs,
0:42:06 > 0:42:11leaving him with £196.40. Bad luck, old chap.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16Anita also began with £200.
0:42:16 > 0:42:21She made an impressive profit of £42.43 after auction costs,
0:42:21 > 0:42:24which means today she is winner
0:42:24 > 0:42:28and goes into the next leg with £242.43.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34Phew! Well, well, well, well.
0:42:34 > 0:42:39I've done some sums, and you, Joan of Arc...
0:42:39 > 0:42:42- Genie of Arc. - Yeah. You are up about 40 quid,
0:42:42 > 0:42:45and me and my fossils are down about a fiver.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48- Go on, get in.- That's not too bad.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50SHE LAUGHS
0:42:53 > 0:42:56See you next time, road trippers. Not sure about the car, though.
0:42:56 > 0:43:00Next time, our antiquers head to north-east England.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Do you think we are on the right road?
0:43:02 > 0:43:04Phil is a man with a plan...
0:43:04 > 0:43:06Don't let that Anita Manning anywhere near them.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09..and Anita wants to hang on to her lead.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12I wonder if I can give Phil Serrell a hammering with that?
