0:00:02 > 0:00:05- It's the nation's favourite antiques experts...- This is beautiful!
0:00:05 > 0:00:06That's the way to do this!
0:00:06 > 0:00:12- ..with £200 each, a classic car and a goal - to scour for antiques.- Joy!
0:00:12 > 0:00:14- Hello!- The aim?
0:00:14 > 0:00:19To make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat. HE LAUGHS
0:00:19 > 0:00:23- GAVEL BANGS There will be worthy winners and valiant losers.- Sorry! Sorry!
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 Roadtrip!
0:00:33 > 0:00:34Yeah!
0:00:42 > 0:00:46Today, the Roadtrip continues for our two auctioneers, Anita Manning
0:00:46 > 0:00:48and Philip Serrell.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Phil, the beginning of our next buy leg.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55- Aye, I can hardly wait(!) - SHE LAUGHS
0:00:55 > 0:00:59- Are you not raring to go?- I've got some catching up to do, haven't I?
0:00:59 > 0:01:02- You completely drilled me yesterday.- I know.
0:01:02 > 0:01:07Anita won the first leg and is prepared to fight to keep her lead.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11- You've got to be careful when Phil Serrell's about.- Indeed!
0:01:11 > 0:01:15But our Philip can find a use for anything.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18That would make a fantastic bog roll holder.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20That's what we have at home.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25They're taking to the road in this classic Italian micro car,
0:01:25 > 0:01:28the 1970 Fiat 500.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Oh!
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Try to keep your eye on the road, Phil!
0:01:33 > 0:01:34Oh, no!
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Our experts both began their trip with £200.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43One auction down and Philip has already gone backwards,
0:01:43 > 0:01:46leaving him with £196.40.
0:01:48 > 0:01:54Anita took the early lead, giving her £242.43 to spend today.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01This week, they started in Windermere in the Lake District
0:02:01 > 0:02:04and will travel over 1,200 miles around the north of England
0:02:04 > 0:02:08and Scotland, before finishing up in Crooklands, Cumbria.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16Today's leg begins in Barnard Castle, County Durham,
0:02:16 > 0:02:20and ends at auction in Driffield in the East Riding of Yorkshire.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24- I love this part of the world. - Oh, yes!- Barnard Castle.- Yeah.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26- It's a wonderful place. - Up around the North and
0:02:26 > 0:02:30the Yorkshire Dales, I think it's absolutely glorious. I really do.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Is there a plan today then?
0:02:32 > 0:02:37- Tell me about your tactics. - That's simple. Beat you.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39LAUGHTER
0:02:39 > 0:02:41You think you're going to beat me?
0:02:41 > 0:02:42No!
0:02:42 > 0:02:44I'm going to try.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Good luck with that. The spectacular market
0:02:47 > 0:02:50town of Barnard Castle, or Barney to its friends,
0:02:50 > 0:02:55takes its name from the 12th century castle around which the town grew.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58It's also an antiques shopping Mecca.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02- There we are.- Perfect! Perfect! - Job's a good 'un!
0:03:02 > 0:03:06It's THE perfect place for both our shoppers to start this leg's
0:03:06 > 0:03:08shopping together.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Now, Phil, I don't want you following me around.
0:03:11 > 0:03:12Get out of here!
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Opened six years ago,
0:03:16 > 0:03:20Mission Hall is located in the heart of the town's antiques district.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Dale Robson is the man to meet.
0:03:23 > 0:03:28- Hi.- Hiya.- I'm Anita. And this is Philip Serrell.- Hello, Philip.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31- You've got some good things in here, haven't you?- Yeah.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33- Have a good wander round. - We'll have a good wander around.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37- Right, we'll see you in a bit.- I'm going to the sparkly cabinet.- Get out of here!
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Plenty of choice.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45And Phil is quick to spot something.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49I've come hundreds of miles from home, and all this stuff here
0:03:49 > 0:03:53was made about 50 yards from my office in Worcester.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57This is all Worcester porcelain. And this is all by the Stinton family.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00They all painted at the Worcester porcelain factory, in various guises.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03The worst thing is, it's all out of my price range.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05But it is really, really lovely.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13Anita is having a little more luck with one of the other cabinets.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17I rather like this little inkwell and pen tray.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20It's in the Art Nouveau style.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Decorated and embossed with flowers.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26I love items which have to do with writing.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30It takes you back to a time when people wrote letters.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32And I love the Art Nouveau period.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36So I'm going to have a closer look at that.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Dale's your man, then.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43- It is made of...some sort of base metal, I would imagine.- Britannia metal.
0:04:43 > 0:04:48Britannia metal. I think it would be something for a lady's writing desk.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- Oh, it is very pretty, yes. - It is pretty. "Orphea."
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Don't know anything about it,
0:04:53 > 0:04:57but I like to see something which has a maker's name on it.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59- Yes, it is nice to see.- Puts it in a certain place.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03There's 26 on it. Which I think is not too bad.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05- Very reasonable. - It is very reasonable.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- You might not need a discount. - I might not need a discount.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- I might not. - SHE LAUGHS
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Could it be bought sort of somewhere between 15 and 18?
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- I could do it for 20. - You could do it for 20?
0:05:18 > 0:05:21I'm going to go for that. I like it. Thank you very much.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25- Thank you very much.- You haven't been suckered in already, have you?
0:05:25 > 0:05:30- Succumbed to the Manning charm. - Och, away and buy one of your big...
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Have you found anything big and crazy yet?
0:05:33 > 0:05:34Yes, and here it is.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36HE LAUGHS
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Ha-ha. Behave, Phil.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41He's on to something, though, look.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- Dale, I've just seen these, look.- Oh, right.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- They're quite nice, aren't they? - Yes.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50- And they are measures, aren't they? - Yeah.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Got a half pint and a pint. You can have the half, I'll have the pint.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55What could be the best on those, do you think?
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- They are 40 quid, the two, currently.- Maybe 30 quid.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02- Could they be 20 quid? - They couldn't be 20, no.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05- Dale just said that with no hint of compassion.- No.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07One to think about, then.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Whatever you do, don't let that Anita Manning anywhere near them.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12I'll do my best.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Speak of the little devil.
0:06:14 > 0:06:19Wouldn't it be nice to have a lovely pen to go with my little
0:06:19 > 0:06:22inkwell and pen holder?
0:06:22 > 0:06:26And I have noticed a Conway Stewart fountain pen here.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30And pens are very collectable in today's market.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33So I'm going to have a look at that. It is £35, a wee bit dear...
0:06:33 > 0:06:39- Anita, Anita, Anita.- What is it? - Could you just do me a favour?- What?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41- Just hold that a second for me. - Oh, for heaven's sake!
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Hold it, hold it. Thank you very much.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45SHE LAUGHS
0:06:45 > 0:06:46Cheeky boy!
0:06:46 > 0:06:50Fortunately, he knows it's a dummy. What else has he found?
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Just a little turned wooden box, isn't it?
0:06:53 > 0:06:56It looks like rosewood or a hardwood.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00What I particularly like about it is the price.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02THEY LAUGH
0:07:02 > 0:07:05So we might be having a little lot here. What else could we find?
0:07:05 > 0:07:08How much are those little shells there?
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Country-made military chest of drawers.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12£80.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- How much movement is there on price on that?- £80.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21- They would have to be about 70. Maybe 65.- Can you come any lower?
0:07:21 > 0:07:25- I can't really do any lower on those.- 50 quid is my limit on that.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27I couldn't do it for 50.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Could you do £80 for them all? The belt, the two bell tankards and that?
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- Yes, we could do that.- OK, I need to have a think.- Mm-hm.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Good idea.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Anita has been pawing over the fountain pen.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- Dale has certainly been busy today. - The condition is good.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45This wonderful mottled effect, that's what the buyers like.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- It is a nice, bright colour. - It is marked at 35.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53But what I'd like to be paying, really, is round about £20.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56I mean, I could maybe go to about 25.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Could you go to 22?
0:07:58 > 0:08:00I don't think I can do 22, no.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- Could you go 23? - SHE LAUGHS
0:08:04 > 0:08:07- 23?- Let's go 23.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09- 23.- Oh, thank you very much.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Anita is making herself a little theme there.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Meanwhile, it looks like Phil has made a decision. Wow.
0:08:16 > 0:08:17- Dale.- Hello.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20I think you've been more than fair with me. So these two for 80, yeah?
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- Yes, we can do that.- And that is a handshake because you, sir,
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- have been an absolute gentleman. - Thank you.- I'll be back.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- You've got some really lovely things.- Thanks for the business.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33£80 for the pair of bell metal tankards
0:08:33 > 0:08:36and a 19th-century miniature chest of drawers.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Now, how is Anita getting on?
0:08:41 > 0:08:44What I like most about this bronze is this
0:08:44 > 0:08:47fantastical fish.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Important, though, in bronzes -
0:08:49 > 0:08:54name, foundry, any details that you can get.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58And if we look underneath, we see, "C and F Smith, Birmingham."
0:08:58 > 0:09:01So I think that's a super item.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Another bronze that I like in here...
0:09:04 > 0:09:08is this fantastic stylised cat.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Now, this is...
0:09:10 > 0:09:12It has a modernist look about it.
0:09:12 > 0:09:17But it could be from the 1920s or 1930s.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21There is no foundry. There is no maker's name.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24But I think that that is wonderful.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Dale?!
0:09:26 > 0:09:28This one has got 68 on it.
0:09:28 > 0:09:33- Right.- And this one has got...60.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37- A-ha.- What one do you think you could give me the best deal on?
0:09:37 > 0:09:41I mean, that one would be about 60. And the other one would be about 50.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45This is the one that my heart is going with, and I think I'll go with that.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49- Yes.- Is there any other movement on it?- It would have to be that £60.
0:09:49 > 0:09:5360. Let's just go for that. Thank you very much. I'm delighted.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55That's a good thing.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Along with the bronze cat for £60,
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Anita's found herself a French Art Nouveau inkwell
0:10:03 > 0:10:09and pen tray for 20 and a Conway Stewart fountain pen for £23.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11That's £103 altogether.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15I'm really happy with all my terrific treasures!
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Philip's travelled towards Durham,
0:10:21 > 0:10:25a stunning city known for its Norman castle and cathedral
0:10:25 > 0:10:29and just outside the city is the town of Bishop Auckland,
0:10:29 > 0:10:32once home to a unique seat of power that was
0:10:32 > 0:10:35pivotal in the history of England and Scotland.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Philip's meeting Chris Ferguson to hear more.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- Chris, how are you?- Very nice to meet you.- Good to see you as well.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- So this is Auckland Castle? - It is indeed.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49You're very welcome to join us here.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54In the 11th century, County Durham became a bloody battleground.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59William the Conqueror was defending north-east
0:10:59 > 0:11:01England from the King of Scotland at a time
0:11:01 > 0:11:05when the border between the two countries was ever changing.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07To cement his authority in the area,
0:11:07 > 0:11:11William granted the Bishop of Durham unprecedented powers.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14He was to be responsible for protecting England's
0:11:14 > 0:11:18interests in the north and given the title of Prince Bishop.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21They could raise their own army, they had their own taxes,
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- they had their own mint, they had their own legal system. - You think of a bishop today
0:11:24 > 0:11:27and he's very much an ecclesiastical figure, isn't he?
0:11:27 > 0:11:30But in those days, they were wealthy men...
0:11:30 > 0:11:35Yeah, I mean, all the way through from the medieval period right the way through the 19th century,
0:11:35 > 0:11:38bishops are wealthy men, they're diplomats, they're military leaders.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42They're... They're corrupt, some of them.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Some of them are quite into gambling, wine, women and song.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48There were 53 Prince Bishops in total.
0:11:48 > 0:11:53The first was William Walker in 1075 and the last,
0:11:53 > 0:11:57William Van Mildert, served until 1836.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Auckland Castle was the centre of all this power.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02After the King,
0:12:02 > 0:12:04they were like second most important people in the land.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07They are the second most powerful people in the country,
0:12:07 > 0:12:10often standing up to the King, rebelling, some of them.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14And really trying to promote their own authority and power.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18This unparalleled rule included control over local agriculture
0:12:18 > 0:12:21and mining.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24These were taxed and the money was used in whatever way
0:12:24 > 0:12:28they saw fit, to fund a life of luxury, control territory or
0:12:28 > 0:12:32create a grand palace, fit for the King of the North.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35They are really competing with the King,
0:12:35 > 0:12:38so this building is built with two great halls,
0:12:38 > 0:12:40it's built with a double-storey chapel
0:12:40 > 0:12:44and those things are copying, out-competing what the King's
0:12:44 > 0:12:46building at Westminster or at Windsor.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50This is a palace complex to compete with royalty.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58Over the centuries, the Prince Bishops were
0:12:58 > 0:13:02involved in thwarting the Scots' attempts to invade northern England.
0:13:02 > 0:13:07In the 13th century, the notorious Prince Bishop Bek helped defeat
0:13:07 > 0:13:12William Wallace, leaving Scotland in the hands of the King of England.
0:13:12 > 0:13:17At times, Prince Bishops chose to side with whoever was most
0:13:17 > 0:13:19powerful, even if that meant allegiance with
0:13:19 > 0:13:24the Scots against the English king who had appointed them.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Do you ever get a state where the Bishop tried to
0:13:26 > 0:13:30- sort of outflank or outrank the King?- They do.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34At times, they try to sort of have this idea of an independent
0:13:34 > 0:13:37buffer state of Durham, between England and Scotland,
0:13:37 > 0:13:40so Durham at that time being Durham, Northumberland, Cumbria, is
0:13:40 > 0:13:45a buffer state between the warring kingdoms of England and Scotland.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49After the two countries merged politically in the 17th century,
0:13:49 > 0:13:53the role of Prince Bishop became less about military dominance
0:13:53 > 0:13:55and more about maintaining local law and order,
0:13:55 > 0:13:58often enjoying the perks of their position.
0:14:00 > 0:14:05I know that you look at, in my world, sort of old oil paintings
0:14:05 > 0:14:10of bishops and you can see they were having a bit of a ball, really.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14Large cigars, wine, fine wines, brandy...
0:14:14 > 0:14:18Especially if you look at the 18th century Bishops, they are feasting all the time.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21They are having huge banquets and this building,
0:14:21 > 0:14:25what is now the chapel, were built as banqueting halls to entertain in.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30The reign of the Prince Bishops continued until the 1830s,
0:14:30 > 0:14:34when it was replaced with the Bishop of Durham in the traditional
0:14:34 > 0:14:36religious role that continues today.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38But without this extraordinary position set
0:14:38 > 0:14:41up as a stronghold for English royalty,
0:14:41 > 0:14:45the borders of England and Scotland could now be very different.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Anita has also made her way to Bishop Auckland.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59She's heading for Antiques On The Green, run by Alistair Donaldson.
0:15:01 > 0:15:06- Hello. I'm Anita.- Nice to see you. - I see you've got the champagne out!
0:15:06 > 0:15:10- Well, you know... Just in case. - Just in case.- We can pop one later.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Yes, a bit of shopping to do first, though.
0:15:16 > 0:15:22Now, this is interesting. Boxes of stuff underneath a table.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26Alistair might have got these from a house clearance
0:15:26 > 0:15:28and they haven't been opened yet.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31And don't worry about getting your hands dirty.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33There could be treasure in here.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37And sometimes, where there's muck there's brass.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Not in there, though.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Wow!
0:15:45 > 0:15:49That's the kind of thing that Phil Serrell would love.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51He would love that.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Huge big bellows.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55She's not wrong there.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Now, what do we have here?
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Oh! Ho-ho!
0:16:00 > 0:16:03I wonder if I could give Phil Serrell a hammering with that!
0:16:06 > 0:16:07Or beat out a profit from it.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11I like that!
0:16:11 > 0:16:15It's £65, which is quite a lot of money.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19But it's a good item and it's a fun item.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Alistair! You're needed!
0:16:22 > 0:16:26I usually buy lovely, gentle...
0:16:26 > 0:16:29- Brooches.- ..feminine items.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33- Yes.- But my eye was drawn to this big hammer.- Right.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Can you tell me, Alistair, what on earth this is used for?
0:16:36 > 0:16:40- To be frank, I don't actually know what it would have been used for. - Right.
0:16:40 > 0:16:45But it's wood, obviously, so you could hit metal, like brass, with it and it wouldn't damage it.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Obviously, we've got a massive chunk out there, but that's its history.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50- I like that.- Oh, it's great.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54I'm an auctioneer and if this came in to my auction,
0:16:54 > 0:16:57I would estimate that round about £20.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02It might make more than that, I don't know,
0:17:02 > 0:17:04because who knows the price of a big hammer?
0:17:04 > 0:17:08Well, if it's Mr Serrell that you're trying to beat then I don't think
0:17:08 > 0:17:11I've got any option, really, than allowing you to have that for £20.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15- I think we'll do a deal.- Is that all right? Put your hand there. Thank you.- Thank you very much.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22A very generous discount lands Anita the rather large
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- early 20th century hammer. - OK, put it over my shoulder.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26Yeah, watch out, Mr Serrell.
0:17:26 > 0:17:32And on that note, it's probably best to call it a day. So, nighty-night!
0:17:41 > 0:17:43What a glorious morning!
0:17:43 > 0:17:48- How did you get on yesterday?- Great. I had a great time. - That's just what I wanted to hear(!)
0:17:48 > 0:17:53I enjoyed myself a lot. The dealers, I thought they were lovely.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57- So, how much have you spent? - I don't know. 100-odd quid?
0:17:57 > 0:18:00You've bought four items for £100?!
0:18:02 > 0:18:08- Ah, that's not... - Aye. Just be a wee bit careful!
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- I wouldnae suppose you'd take 50p for it?! - SHE LAUGHS
0:18:11 > 0:18:16Yesterday, Anita bagged herself an Art Nouveau inkwell and pen tray,
0:18:16 > 0:18:19a fountain pen, a bronze cat
0:18:19 > 0:18:22and an early 20th century hammer,
0:18:22 > 0:18:27all for £123, leaving her just under £120 to spend today.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33Phil bought a pair of bell metal tankards,
0:18:33 > 0:18:35and a 19th century miniature chest of drawers for £80.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39He still has £106.40 for today's shopping.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Do you know, I have to say, if I was going to buy a classic car,
0:18:45 > 0:18:49- I'm not sure that I would buy one of these.- Ah, stop moaning!
0:18:49 > 0:18:52- It's a lovely wee thing! - Well said, Anita!
0:18:52 > 0:18:55They're heading for the magnificent spa town of Harrogate,
0:18:55 > 0:19:00often voted one of the happiest places to live in Britain,
0:19:00 > 0:19:05despite its Royal Pump Room housing the strongest sulphur well in Europe.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07- Harrogate's beautiful, isn't it? - I know.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09It's the jewel of the north, isn't it?
0:19:09 > 0:19:11I think it's really, really lovely.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13And well known for so many things.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17- It's crammed with really good quality antiques shops, isn't it? - Yep.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21And I'll tell you something else, you get a great cup of tea in this town.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26First to shop this morning is Phil.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Door-to-door delivery.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33It looks as if there's plenty of lovely things there.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- I'm going to go and give it a really good go.- Yeah.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- If I can get out of this thing! - SHE LAUGHS
0:19:39 > 0:19:44Located in the trendy Montpellier Quarter, Montpellier Muse
0:19:44 > 0:19:48Antique Market has been trading for over 25 years.
0:19:48 > 0:19:53- Dealer David Wallace is looking after Phil today.- Hi, Phil.- I'm Philip.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55- How are you doing? - David, is it?- David.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00You're playing catch-up, Phil,
0:20:00 > 0:20:02so what's going to appeal to you in here?
0:20:06 > 0:20:09If they were going to give anything away in this centre,
0:20:09 > 0:20:13I would take this Pilkington's Lancastrian vase away with me,
0:20:13 > 0:20:17which I think is just a beautiful, beautiful thing.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20It is designed by a man called Mycock.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24It's priced up £1,995, which is
0:20:24 > 0:20:28roughly £1,900 more than
0:20:28 > 0:20:31I currently have to spend.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Ha. Moving on...
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- Can I perhaps have a look at these...- You can indeed.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37..snuff boxes, please?
0:20:37 > 0:20:42So this is a papier mache snuff box and...
0:20:42 > 0:20:45it's got this little miniature on the cover here.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49It's priced at £25, but David says he can do it for 18.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53For me, the golden age of papier mache is from about 1850 to 1880.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Um...
0:20:55 > 0:20:58But the problem is this damage here cos you can't really repair
0:20:58 > 0:21:00papier mache.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04- Can you do that for 15 quid? - I'll stick my neck out and say yes.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07You're a gentleman. Go on, I'll take that. Thank you very much indeed.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- My pleasure.- I'd better give you some money now, hadn't I?
0:21:10 > 0:21:14So, that's £15 for the 19th century papier mache snuff box.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21Out on the open road, Anita's travelled to the village of Ripley.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29She's visiting Ripley Castle.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33This was once home to an extraordinary woman who took on
0:21:33 > 0:21:37the most powerful man in the country in an astounding act of bravery.
0:21:39 > 0:21:44Anita's meeting Sir Thomas and Lady Emma Ingleby,
0:21:44 > 0:21:49who are the 26th generation to live here.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53- Hello! Welcome to Ripley Castle! - Hello. Very nice to meet you.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57- What a wonderful place!- We call it home and we have for 700 years.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00We're still paying off the mortgage, so we can't lose it!
0:22:03 > 0:22:07The Inglebys' home was once at the centre of one of the most
0:22:07 > 0:22:09tumultuous periods of British history.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15In the 17th century, the English Civil War broke out,
0:22:15 > 0:22:20with Parliament on one side, led by Oliver Cromwell, and King Charles I
0:22:20 > 0:22:24on the other, defending the absolute power of the monarchy.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26The battle between Royalists
0:22:26 > 0:22:29and Parliamentarians raged for nine years,
0:22:29 > 0:22:32resulting in Charles I being beheaded
0:22:32 > 0:22:37and Cromwell establishing Britain as a republic, with himself as leader.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41The Inglebys at Ripley Castle were involved from the beginning.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45Sir William Ingleby and his sister Jane were fierce Royalists.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49In July 1644, they became embroiled in what was
0:22:49 > 0:22:52one of the bloodiest battles in English history.
0:22:52 > 0:22:58Lady Emma's taking Anita to the Knight's Chamber to tell her more.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02William Ingleby went to fight and was followed by his sister,
0:23:02 > 0:23:06Jane Ingleby. Now, this is very unusual for a lady to go
0:23:06 > 0:23:07and fight in a battle.
0:23:07 > 0:23:12It was an amazing situation that a fine born lady,
0:23:12 > 0:23:16coming from the castle, should be there in the battle,
0:23:16 > 0:23:19in armour, fighting for the King.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Yeah. Well, they must have believed truly in their cause.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28Over 4,000 died in the Battle of Marston Moor,
0:23:28 > 0:23:30the vast majority of them Royalists.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Oliver Cromwell and the Parliamentarians were victorious.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41William and Jane retreated back to Ripley Castle,
0:23:41 > 0:23:45but as known Royalists, Cromwell's soldiers were hot on their heels.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Trapped in the castle, William had no choice but to hide,
0:23:51 > 0:23:54supposedly in a secret hole at the top of a tower.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01So, he was cramped in this hole here.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05- He would literally have been making himself as small as possible in there, fearful of his life.- Yeah.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09When they used to search, they would go through the panelling with
0:24:09 > 0:24:12their swords because they were aware that there might be hiding places.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14- It's a claustrophobic space.- Yeah.
0:24:14 > 0:24:20- Just enough room for your Bible, your candle and an air hole. - ANITA GASPS
0:24:20 > 0:24:23The fate of the family was in Jane's hands.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27Cromwell's army hammered at the gates.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30It's said that Jane changed out of her battle clothes
0:24:30 > 0:24:33and, armed with two pistols, courageously went to face her
0:24:33 > 0:24:36enemy and the country's future leader.
0:24:36 > 0:24:41Jane decides to allow him in and almost negotiate.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44He was the victor, they were the vanquished,
0:24:44 > 0:24:48- why didn't he just chop her head off?- Well, because from that moment
0:24:48 > 0:24:52onward he has to live with these people for his republic to work.
0:24:52 > 0:24:58Cromwell insisted on staying the night to recover from battle.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02His army took to an outbuilding with their Royalist prisoners in tow.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Cromwell demanded to sleep inside.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10Jane kept the mighty general at gunpoint in the armchair,
0:25:10 > 0:25:14while William was hiding in the priest hole upstairs.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17This bravery earned her the name "Trooper Jane".
0:25:19 > 0:25:23They would sit down, warm themselves by the fire.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25She might have offered him refreshments.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29What do you think Cromwell thought of Trooper Jane?
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Of course, she reputedly was carrying pistols,
0:25:32 > 0:25:36so I think he probably thought, "Do you know, I might just sleep."
0:25:36 > 0:25:41If she had the pistols and he was asleep,
0:25:41 > 0:25:45- could have changed the course of history.- Could have done.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49After winning one of the greatest victories of his career and then
0:25:49 > 0:25:52being held hostage by a woman, Cromwell left the next morning.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57He may have spared Jane's life and without realising it,
0:25:57 > 0:26:01her brother's too, but many of the Royalist prisoners were
0:26:01 > 0:26:04shot at the castle on Cromwell's orders.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09This is literally the marks of the bullet holes against the wall,
0:26:09 > 0:26:12so the Inglebys may have got away scot free,
0:26:12 > 0:26:13but many people died that night.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19Although the country was in turmoil for another seven years, thanks
0:26:19 > 0:26:24to Trooper Jane's heroic efforts, the Ingleby family were safe.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Once they realised Sir William survived,
0:26:27 > 0:26:31the Parliamentarians ordered him to pay a fine equivalent
0:26:31 > 0:26:35to £2.5 million, which he did, over several years.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40Jane died of natural causes soon after, aged 51,
0:26:40 > 0:26:44but she'll always be remembered for her incredible bravery.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58Back in Harrogate, Phil has ventured further into antiques territory.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01The antiques business is a really, really small world.
0:27:01 > 0:27:07And there are shops there and here that I've done business with for a long, long time.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11But this guy, picture dealer, he's got some serious stock.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13This is a little different for Phil,
0:27:13 > 0:27:16who is known for turning up at old farms.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19- Now then... Now then... - Good to see you.- How are you doing?
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- How's tricks? Busy?- OK. Yeah, yeah.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26Family-run Sutcliffe's Galleries specialise in fine
0:27:26 > 0:27:29paintings from the 18th century to the present day.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35Hurt. 34. That would hurt as well, £34,000.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39John Wilson Carmichael, £25,000.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42I was thinking I might buy something off you,
0:27:42 > 0:27:47but I think at £25,000, it might just stretch my budget a little bit.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50- Really?- You wouldn't take a Fiat 500 in part exchange, would you?
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Not even for you, no.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56Philip's got just over £100 to spend.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58That won't get him anything from the gallery,
0:27:58 > 0:28:01but fortunately, Gary has a cellar.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05- They say "buying blind"... Hell's bells!- What is he up to?
0:28:05 > 0:28:10These are things that are not for us, really.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12There you are, you see?
0:28:12 > 0:28:15- That's modern.- That might go, mightn't it?
0:28:15 > 0:28:19- Beautifully framed, that. - And this is painted, what...
0:28:19 > 0:28:23- within the last 50 years? - Yes, that's painted in the last...five years.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26I've got to pay commission at auction.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30If they estimate that at 40 to 60 quid, which is probably what they'd
0:28:30 > 0:28:34estimate it at, I'm going to give you 30 quid for it.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38- Done?- Done.- Good gentleman. I'd better get you some money out.
0:28:38 > 0:28:42That's £30 for the equestrian painting in an early 19th
0:28:42 > 0:28:45century style.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48- Lovely to see you, my friend. - Thank you.- See you soon.
0:28:48 > 0:28:49- Take care. Bye-bye.- Bye!
0:28:53 > 0:28:56Anita's hot on Phil's heels in Harrogate, heading just
0:28:56 > 0:29:02south of the town to Crimple Hall Antiques to meet Phil Cannell.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04- Hi, Anita.- Hello.- How are you? Nice to meet you.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10- Such a... Looks fabulous! - A great place.- Looks fabulous.
0:29:10 > 0:29:15This antiques and vintage showroom has over 50 stalls and cabinets.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Hoping that I have a nose for a bargain!
0:29:18 > 0:29:20I see what you did there, Anita.
0:29:26 > 0:29:32We have a pair of French Art Nouveau table lamps.
0:29:32 > 0:29:36Two beautiful young nymphs.
0:29:36 > 0:29:40They're priced at over £500.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43But you're getting a lot
0:29:43 > 0:29:47for your money for these two fabulous figures.
0:29:47 > 0:29:53Maybe so, but with just under £120 to spend, it's best you move on.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58What has drawn me to this little piece, it's a Japanese piece,
0:29:58 > 0:30:04not a Chinese piece, is the quality of the painting.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07Look at those wonderful peacocks.
0:30:07 > 0:30:12I really, really like this little piece and I see...
0:30:13 > 0:30:19..that the foot has been off. And it's been stuck on again.
0:30:19 > 0:30:25Which is a great shame and it is a 19th century piece.
0:30:25 > 0:30:30Tempted with the quality, but I'm put off by the damage.
0:30:30 > 0:30:36- It will all depend on how much I can get it for.- Phil's your man!
0:30:36 > 0:30:40- I've picked up this little piece and I've fallen in love with it.- Right.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42I think that it's absolutely lovely.
0:30:42 > 0:30:49I've gone over it with a fine tooth comb. And this foot has been off.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52- Yeah.- She's got 75 on it.- Right, OK.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56Erm... So maybe she hasn't noticed the foot and when you speak to her,
0:30:56 > 0:31:00- you can maybe say to her that it's damaged. - Yeah, yeah. That's absolutely fine.
0:31:00 > 0:31:06I'd be liking to buy that for £30. See what you can do.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08- I'll have a word with her.- OK.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12This Kutani pot is named after the small village in western Japan
0:31:12 > 0:31:16where this style of decoration has been made on ceramics
0:31:16 > 0:31:18since the mid-17th century.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21- How did we get on, Phil? - She needs a little bit more.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23- A wee bit more?- A wee bit more.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25- Uh-huh.- 35.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28- Oh, I think I've got to go for it. - I think you have.- That's great.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32- Good, deal done.- I'm delighted with that. Can I pay you?
0:31:32 > 0:31:35So, that's £35 for the Kutani koro and cover.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41Phil, meanwhile, has made his way west to Skipton.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48The town's name means "Sheep Town," which is
0:31:48 > 0:31:52celebrated with their annual Sheep Day.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55- Hi, I'm Philip.- Hello, I'm June. - June, how are you, my love?
0:31:55 > 0:31:59- All right?- OK, hopefully, if there's owt you want, I can sort it out.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01I'm sure there'll be owt I want in here.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05There are 30 dealers on over three floors, so best get hunting.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10Millefiori.
0:32:10 > 0:32:121,000 flowers.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14Just a sweet little thing.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17All these are little separate glass canes in there.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20- And you've got the maker's cane, Whitefriars, there we go.- Yes.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23That's a nice quality thing.
0:32:23 > 0:32:28- What's she got on it?- It wants to be 20-25 quid and it's £68, so...
0:32:30 > 0:32:32You haven't a hope.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35Well, that's clear, at least.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42A good Georgian bureau used to be six, eight, nine, perhaps £1,000.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48This one is as rustic as they come.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Always have a look where the lock is
0:32:50 > 0:32:54because people are forever losing the keys.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56So they then have to cut a piece out to get into it.
0:32:56 > 0:33:00So you've got a pretty horrible patch just there.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03This pine and oak bureau is priced at £100
0:33:03 > 0:33:07and is owned by dealer Steve Pickering.
0:33:07 > 0:33:08Go, Steve!
0:33:08 > 0:33:10I think it's got quite a look.
0:33:10 > 0:33:15If it was an ordinary oak one, I wouldn't have got anywhere near it. But I think the bottom line for me
0:33:15 > 0:33:17is that at auction is going to make 60 to 90 quid.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20- Is 50 quid any good to you?- No. - OK.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22- Can you do 55 on it?- No.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24- What can you do?- 70 quid.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27- I can't give you 70 quid for it. - You can't?- No, I can't.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31- But I can give you 60 quid. Have a deal with me.- I'll take your money.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33You're a gentleman. Thank you very much.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37So that's £60 for the late Georgian pine and oak Yorkshire bureau.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40Wow! And that's shopping done.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Let's take a gander at their goodies.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46Along with the bureau, Phil bought a pair of bell metal tankards,
0:33:46 > 0:33:49a miniature chest of drawers, a papier mache snuff box
0:33:49 > 0:33:53and a horse painting for £185.
0:33:53 > 0:33:58Anita splashed out £158 on a bronze cat,
0:33:58 > 0:33:59a fountain pen,
0:33:59 > 0:34:04an Art Nouveau inkwell, a large early 20th century hammer
0:34:04 > 0:34:08and a Japanese koro and cover. Thoughts, please.
0:34:08 > 0:34:13He deserves to double his money on that bureau,
0:34:13 > 0:34:16but in today's market, he probably won't.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19There are certain things in life that come along
0:34:19 > 0:34:21and you just don't understand them.
0:34:21 > 0:34:26A £60 bronze cat? I don't understand it!
0:34:26 > 0:34:31I'm ahead at the moment, but I think that Phil Serrell is
0:34:31 > 0:34:35snapping at my heels with his group of items, so who knows?
0:34:37 > 0:34:41All I need is a bit of luck, and that's good luck, not bad luck!
0:34:43 > 0:34:47Barnard Castle in County Durham was the departure point on this leg
0:34:47 > 0:34:51and now, Phil and Anita are nearing the auction in Driffield,
0:34:51 > 0:34:53in the East Riding of Yorkshire.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57- I've got a feeling we're going the wrong direction.- Oh!
0:34:57 > 0:34:59And I'm so upset they've split up(!)
0:34:59 > 0:35:02Wrong direction. Did you like them?
0:35:02 > 0:35:05Ha! Does anyone know what he's on about?
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Well, I do. Just.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11How are you going to do today?
0:35:11 > 0:35:15- Well, I kind of think you might have the advantage on me today.- Ha-ha-ha!
0:35:15 > 0:35:17You heard it here first, folks!
0:35:17 > 0:35:19Well, we'll soon find out about that.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24Each year, the town of Driffield boasts one of the largest
0:35:24 > 0:35:27one-day agricultural shows in the country.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30This looks a really good sale, doesn't it?
0:35:30 > 0:35:35- Look at this.- Yeah! Are you excited? Oh, another adventure!
0:35:35 > 0:35:39- Slightly nervous.- Who is going to win this time?- Get in there, you!
0:35:39 > 0:35:43Dee, Atkinson & Harrison were established in 1885
0:35:43 > 0:35:47and regularly hold sales of antiques, art and furniture.
0:35:47 > 0:35:51Auctioneer Graham Paddison has assessed our experts' finds.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54The mallet? I don't quite know what to make of it.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57Somebody will buy it as a novelty item.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00The little circular snuff box, because it's nice quality
0:36:00 > 0:36:03and it's collectible, is going to create the most interest.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06But the bureau, I think, could struggle a bit.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09Let the auction commence. BANGS GAVEL
0:36:09 > 0:36:12Starting with Anita's inkwell and pen tray.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14- What's it worth? £30 for it.- This is mine.
0:36:14 > 0:36:1730 bid at the corner. 30 bid. £30 bid. At 30.

0:36:25 > 0:36:27BANGS GAVEL
0:36:27 > 0:36:31What an incredible start! Anita's almost tripled her money.
0:36:31 > 0:36:35- I'm happy.- I should think you should be.- Are you happy for me?- No!
0:36:35 > 0:36:36He's hiding it well, though(!)
0:36:36 > 0:36:40Next up, it's Phil's pair of bell metal tankards.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42£30 for them.
0:36:42 > 0:36:4630. £20 to start then and off we go. 20 bid in the middle here, at 20.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49£20 bid, at 20. £20 bid, at 20.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51At £20.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53Seems very cheap to me.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55But at £20... We're going to sell it. Down it goes.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58- 2! That's the way. 25.- Last minute.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01- 28, sir.- Yes, yes.

0:37:03 > 0:37:06At 35. Bid's third row here.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08At 35 then.
0:37:08 > 0:37:09Everybody finally down, I think.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12- At £35. - BANGS GAVEL
0:37:12 > 0:37:15A decent profit for Phil to start, too.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17Gets your heart going.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19Nearly stopped it! I don't know about getting it going!
0:37:19 > 0:37:21SHE CHUCKLES
0:37:21 > 0:37:25Back to Anita now, with her rather large hammer.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27£30 for it.
0:37:27 > 0:37:3030 for the wooden mallet here. 30 bid. This side at 30.

0:37:42 > 0:37:45All done. Finished. Bid's at the front. £90.
0:37:45 > 0:37:46BANGS GAVEL
0:37:46 > 0:37:48That's over four times what she paid for it!
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Amazing!
0:37:50 > 0:37:54I think I might go and quietly hang myself somewhere.
0:37:54 > 0:37:58It's Phil's chance now to score big with his tiny
0:37:58 > 0:38:01- chest of drawers.- £50 for it.
0:38:01 > 0:38:02- Come on.- 50.
0:38:02 > 0:38:0640 bid, this corner, bid at 40. At £40, bid at 40. At 40.

0:38:14 > 0:38:16- At £70. - BANGS GAVEL
0:38:16 > 0:38:19Another solid profit for Philip.
0:38:19 > 0:38:23- I think it's got the right price today in this saleroom.- Mmm.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25And you made a profit.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29So I don't want to hear any m-m-moaning.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32Philip?! Moan?! Ha(!)
0:38:32 > 0:38:35We're sticking with Phil now for his 19th century papier mache snuff box.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38It's auctioneer Graham's top pick.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40£40 for it.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42- 40 bid.- 40 straight in.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45At £40, the bid standing this side.
0:38:45 > 0:38:4845. 50. 5. 60.
0:38:48 > 0:38:52At £60. All done. Selling. Away it goes. £60.
0:38:52 > 0:38:53BANGS GAVEL
0:38:53 > 0:38:56Phil's quadrupled his money on that one.
0:38:56 > 0:39:01- That was a wee smile playing on your lovely face.- Nah, it's trapped wind.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04Keep that to yourself.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07Next, it's Anita's Japanese Kutani koro and cover.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10It's got a damaged foot, but will that put anyone off?
0:39:10 > 0:39:12£30 for it.
0:39:12 > 0:39:1630. Nice quality here. 20 then. 20 bid at the back.

0:39:31 > 0:39:3450. At £50 then. All done and finished.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38- Goes away at £50. - BANGS GAVEL
0:39:38 > 0:39:40Another good profit for Anita.
0:39:40 > 0:39:46- I think it deserved it.- I'm just really pleased for you(!)- Ha-ha(!)
0:39:46 > 0:39:48We can tell that(!)
0:39:48 > 0:39:52Now it's Phil's priciest purchase, the pine and oak bureau.
0:39:52 > 0:39:56This could make all the difference to today's victor.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59100. £50 to start. Come on. A lot of age to it.
0:39:59 > 0:40:00£50.
0:40:00 > 0:40:01< 20.
0:40:01 > 0:40:02Ouch.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06A £20 bid. At 20. At 20. At £20.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09- At £20. Take a fiver if you like. - Have a laugh now.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11- That should be funny. - 5, do I see anywhere?
0:40:11 > 0:40:16At £20 then. All done and finished. Away. Can't do any better than £20.
0:40:16 > 0:40:21BANGS GAVEL Not the result Phil was after.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23Do you think that's worth £20?
0:40:23 > 0:40:27It's firewood, it's worth £20.
0:40:27 > 0:40:31That's a handcrafted period antique bureau.
0:40:34 > 0:40:38Back with Anita now. It's her Modernist bronze cat.
0:40:38 > 0:40:42And auctioneer John Atkinson's taken over the rostrum.
0:40:42 > 0:40:4420. £20 bid. 5. 25.

0:40:52 > 0:40:54BANGS GAVEL
0:40:54 > 0:40:57That loss gives Phil chance to close the gap.
0:40:57 > 0:41:01I would never be one to wish ill on anybody.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04- But in this instance... - I've made you very happy.
0:41:04 > 0:41:08Needs must when the devil drives.
0:41:08 > 0:41:12Could Anita's final item, the Conway Stewart fountain pen,
0:41:12 > 0:41:13help her stay in the lead?
0:41:13 > 0:41:16£30. 30. 20.

0:41:24 > 0:41:27£35.
0:41:27 > 0:41:31- A good strong profit. - Would you just do me a favour?- Yeah.
0:41:31 > 0:41:35- Would you just wipe that smile off your face? - SHE CHUCKLES
0:41:35 > 0:41:40But Phil's final item, the equestrian painting,
0:41:40 > 0:41:42could make all the difference.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44£70. 70. 50 then.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46- 30. £30. Bid at 30, bid. - I'll settle for that.

0:41:54 > 0:41:56Oh, it's gone, has it?
0:41:56 > 0:41:58The internet bidder has disappeared.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00Oh, Phil! So has everybody else!
0:42:00 > 0:42:04That's the story of my day! I've even lost my internet bidder!
0:42:04 > 0:42:08Selling away. Going at £35.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11So close, but it's still a small profit.
0:42:11 > 0:42:15In the end, it's OK cos you made a little bit of profit.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18- Can we go now?- Uh-huh.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Philip began with £196.40.
0:42:21 > 0:42:25After paying auction costs, he lost £4.60,
0:42:25 > 0:42:29so has £191.80 to spend next time.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31GAVEL BANGS
0:42:31 > 0:42:34Anita started with £242.43.
0:42:34 > 0:42:39After costs, she made a profit of £64.63,
0:42:39 > 0:42:42cementing her lead with £307.06.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44So, go girl!
0:42:44 > 0:42:48All that effort and I think I'm back where I started!
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Don't worry. It was a bit of a roller-coaster today, wasn't it?
0:42:51 > 0:42:54- Yeah, you just get in and roller-coaster me out of here.- Yeah.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56- Very good fun anyway. - Yeah, terrific(!)
0:43:00 > 0:43:03- Next time on Antiques Roadtrip... - Where are we going?
0:43:03 > 0:43:05..things get a bit silly!
0:43:07 > 0:43:10I think I look like one of those 1960s lamps!
