0:00:02 > 0:00:04It's the nation's favourite antiques experts...
0:00:04 > 0:00:05This is beautiful!
0:00:05 > 0:00:06That's the way to do this.
0:00:06 > 0:00:12..with £200 each, a classic car and a goal - to scour for antiques.
0:00:12 > 0:00:13Joy.
0:00:13 > 0:00:14Hello!
0:00:14 > 0:00:16The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18But it's no mean feat.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22There'll be worthy winners...
0:00:22 > 0:00:23- Sorry, sorry! - ..and valiant losers.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26So, will it be the high road to glory
0:00:26 > 0:00:27or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:27 > 0:00:29The handbrake's on!
0:00:29 > 0:00:31This is Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:35 > 0:00:37SWING MUSIC PLAYS
0:00:37 > 0:00:41This week we've been traversing the country in the company
0:00:41 > 0:00:43of auctioneers Anita and Phil.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47Philip, did you put my coat and bag in the back?
0:00:47 > 0:00:49I've been doing television for 16 years
0:00:49 > 0:00:51and I've ended up as your lackey.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53- Do you love it?- Oh, it's great.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Philip Serrell and Anita Manning are both a little competitive.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Don't let that Anita Manning anywhere near them.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08I wonder if I could give Phil Serrell a hammering with that.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11They've had plenty of fun too so far this week,
0:01:11 > 0:01:16pootling around the country in their beautiful 1970 Fiat 500.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18- It's a wee bit... - IMITATES ANITA:- It's a wee bit...
0:01:18 > 0:01:20..a wee bit dreich today,
0:01:20 > 0:01:24but there is sunshine in our hearts, Phil.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- Speak for yourself. - Is there sunshine in your heart?
0:01:27 > 0:01:28No, there's not.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31My heart is very much reflected in the weather at the minute.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35Yeah, Phil's heart was dampened a little at the last auction
0:01:35 > 0:01:38when a loss on his bureau left Anita to take the day.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Having started out on this road trip with £200 each,
0:01:44 > 0:01:48Phil now has £191.80 to spend.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52After two auctions,
0:01:52 > 0:01:57Anita is storming out into the lead with £307.06.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02Listen, I'll tell you a couple of jokes later on and cheer you up.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06- They'll all be about bureaus. - Thanks very much.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09All right, chaps, there's still a long way to go.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11It certainly is an epic journey.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14So far, our competitive experts
0:02:14 > 0:02:16have been whizzing around the north of England.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19They started their journey in Windermere in the Lake District
0:02:19 > 0:02:23and will take a 1,200-mile tour around the north of England
0:02:23 > 0:02:26and into Scotland before heading back south
0:02:26 > 0:02:29to finish up in Crooklands in Cumbria.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Today's leg begins in Frodsham in Cheshire
0:02:33 > 0:02:36and will end up at an auction in Easingwold in Yorkshire.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37Golly gosh.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- Here we are, Phil. Here we are. - SHE LAUGHS
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Goodness gracious me. I'm going to unclip myself.
0:02:43 > 0:02:44- All right.- Yep.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48- Don't buy any big bits of furniture. - What was that?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- What was that?- Don't buy any big bits of furniture.- What did you say?
0:02:53 > 0:02:55SHE LAUGHS He's such a joker.
0:02:55 > 0:02:56- Have a good day.- Bye.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Time to get the shopping underway.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07- Hi. Hello. How are you? I'm Phil. - Morning. I'm fine.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09- Good to see you.- Jan. - What have you got there?
0:03:09 > 0:03:12It's just stuff that's just going out.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15You don't hang about, do you, Phil?
0:03:15 > 0:03:18That's a little silver-plated shoe.
0:03:18 > 0:03:19With a tape measure.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21- That's quite sweet, isn't it?- Yep.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24It's a little compass.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28It's a little cauldron in ebony, but what on earth would you want...
0:03:28 > 0:03:29- A compass.- ..a compass?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31- You're not going to sort of pull it out of your pocket.- No.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33It's a collectible, isn't it?
0:03:33 > 0:03:34- Just a sweet little thing. - It's for show.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Hang on to those two and you think what you can do them for.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40I mean, I think 30 to 50. They might do 50.
0:03:40 > 0:03:41They might not.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Because I have to pay commission,
0:03:43 > 0:03:45I've got to try and buy them for just under that if I can.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49- So, have a think on and let me have a wander around.- OK.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Crikey. Blink and you miss it this morning.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54That's two items Phil has his eye on
0:03:54 > 0:03:57that haven't even made it onto the shop floor.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02While he checks out the rest of the shop,
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Anita is meandering towards the Cheshire village of Sandiway
0:04:05 > 0:04:08where her first shop awaits.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- Hello.- Hi.- I'm Anita. - Are you all right?
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- Oh, it's lovely to be here. - Yeah, yeah.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Well, there's plenty for you to see.
0:04:16 > 0:04:17Oh, there certainly is.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25I think I look like one of those 1960s lamps.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26Well, each to their own.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32In here we've got some lovely Lalique items.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Rene Lalique was a French designer who started his work
0:04:36 > 0:04:38in the late 19th century.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Known for using glass instead of precious stones
0:04:41 > 0:04:44to make fantastic jewellery more affordable,
0:04:44 > 0:04:47he created his work with glass further
0:04:47 > 0:04:51and soon became known the world over for his creations.
0:04:51 > 0:04:57This one here has a lilac tinge which is very attractive,
0:04:57 > 0:04:59and the other one is a clear-glass.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01They're both female figures.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04They're both slightly risque,
0:05:04 > 0:05:07which is always a plus in the auction room.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Nice things.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Time to get Andy round for a closer inspection.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- These are both more modern pieces. - They are.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18- They are very beautiful.- Mm-hm.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20I like that one for the simplicity,
0:05:20 > 0:05:22but I think I love this
0:05:22 > 0:05:25because of the wonderful opalescent hue...
0:05:25 > 0:05:27- Yeah, yeah.- ..that it has.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30If I could be buying it round about for £80...
0:05:30 > 0:05:32- I'll do my best. - ..could you have a try at that?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- Certainly, yes.- Yeah. - Yes, certainly.- That's smashing.
0:05:34 > 0:05:40With a ticket price of £130, your best may well be required, Andy.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42All right, thank you. Bye-bye.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47- £95...- 95?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49..is she'll go to. Yeah.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- Let me see it.- There you go.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- Let's go for it. 95. - OK. All right.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57- Thank you very much. - Thanks very much.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59This week's leader gets off the mark.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- IMITATES ELVIS:- Thank you very much.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19This is quite a fun thing, isn't it? Let's just put it up here.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25- It's blooming heavy, isn't it? Solid mahogany.- It is solid.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26If I had to bet a pound on this,
0:06:26 > 0:06:32I would say that that's something that either the local undertaker
0:06:32 > 0:06:34or a blacksmith or somebody has knocked up in the village.
0:06:34 > 0:06:39- Yeah.- And it's been designed like a shoebox or something like that.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41What's the best you could do and that for...?
0:06:41 > 0:06:4265 on it, isn't there?
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- DOG BARKS - Oh...
0:06:45 > 0:06:47See? The dog's barking in approval.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51The best we can do on that would be £35...
0:06:53 > 0:06:55..which is a good price on that.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58It's wooden, but it's not a bureau.
0:06:58 > 0:06:59How's Anita feeling?
0:06:59 > 0:07:04I'm feeling a little French, a little continental today.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07I bought a lovely piece of French glass,
0:07:07 > 0:07:10and I can see these Art Deco clocks.
0:07:10 > 0:07:15There are two here, and they are probably French as well.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16And we've got this one here,
0:07:16 > 0:07:21a garniture which is the clock and two side ornaments.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25It has this wonderful Art Deco geometric shape,
0:07:25 > 0:07:29and it's only £35.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31It's marked as a project piece
0:07:31 > 0:07:34as on closer inspection it's in need of some serious TLC,
0:07:34 > 0:07:38but Anita is keen, so Andy is back on the phone
0:07:38 > 0:07:40to see if there's a deal to be done.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43I always say to myself,
0:07:43 > 0:07:46"Don't buy anything which is defective
0:07:46 > 0:07:48"because it will struggle in the auction,"
0:07:48 > 0:07:54and I've just maybe bought a clock which has glass missing,
0:07:54 > 0:07:56a hand missing, a foot missing
0:07:56 > 0:07:59and a couple of wee chips on the garniture.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01I might've got carried away there.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03That's not like you.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Hi, Anita. Yes, she'll take £25.
0:08:05 > 0:08:0825, that's great. That's great. That's smashing.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12That's a ten-pound discount and Anita has another item.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Anything else catch your eye, old girl?
0:08:14 > 0:08:20This is a little Edwardian pendant made between 1900 and 1910.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23People were moving away from the elaborate decoration
0:08:23 > 0:08:27of Victorian jewellery into something simpler,
0:08:27 > 0:08:31and to this little pendant here, which is made of nine carat gold,
0:08:31 > 0:08:33is studded with this lovely peridot -
0:08:33 > 0:08:35this green stone -
0:08:35 > 0:08:40and encrusted with tiny, tiny, delicate little sea pearls,
0:08:40 > 0:08:46and the drop is a lovely luminous blister pearl.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49With a ticket price of £140,
0:08:49 > 0:08:51time to get onto the dealer.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Ali, it's Anita from the Antiques Road Trip
0:08:54 > 0:08:57and I have absolutely fallen in love
0:08:57 > 0:09:00with the little peridot and sea pearl pendant.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02I mean, would 85 buy it?
0:09:04 > 0:09:09Oh, that's great. Oh, that's great! Oh, I'm so happy.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Thank you very much on that. Bye-bye.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Well...
0:09:15 > 0:09:16£85.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- Well done.- Oh, thank you very much.
0:09:18 > 0:09:23Straight out of the traps, Anita has three items for £205,
0:09:23 > 0:09:25a figure Mr Serrell can only dream of.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32But our Phil also has three things under his watchful gaze -
0:09:32 > 0:09:34the ebony miniature compass,
0:09:34 > 0:09:37the silver pincushion with wind-up tape measure
0:09:37 > 0:09:38and the mahogany box.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Any chance of a deal on the lot maybe? Stand by.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46Can I give you 60 quid for the three and I'll love you forever.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Just say it. The words you're looking for are, "Yes, Philip."
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- HE MOCKINGLY SOBS - Do you know what?
0:09:52 > 0:09:53Just cause it's you, I will.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Oh, you're an angel. Thank you so much.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57I better pay you, haven't I?
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- I think you better.- I better pay you and run before I get thrown out.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02- You've got a really good deal there. - You've given me a top deal.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Oh, yes, she has. Take it and run, Phil.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14Anita has nipped north to Warrington where she's meeting Craig Sherwood
0:10:14 > 0:10:17who is going to help her uncover the secret past
0:10:17 > 0:10:19of some everyday items.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Behind each one is a history that not only entertained
0:10:23 > 0:10:26but influenced cultures, principles and whole societies.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30- Hi!- Hello, Anita!- I'm Anita. - Pleased to meet you.
0:10:33 > 0:10:38Board games have been around for at least 5,000 years.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41The Romans and Vikings helped spread games of strategy
0:10:41 > 0:10:43across Europe and beyond.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45The game of chess developed in India
0:10:45 > 0:10:49and later spread to Europe in the sixth century.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Such games were played mainly by adults.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54There were games of skill that developed the mind
0:10:54 > 0:10:56and were used to teach military strategy.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Some games were designed for children,
0:11:00 > 0:11:04but even then their purpose was not as an idle pastime
0:11:04 > 0:11:05but as part of their education.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Now, I remember snakes and ladders as a wee girl,
0:11:10 > 0:11:11and it was a favourite game.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Surely, that's a fairly modern board game.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Not at all. Snakes and ladders is quite an ancient game.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20We don't know exactly how old it is,
0:11:20 > 0:11:23but we believe that snakes and ladders may actually go back
0:11:23 > 0:11:25to the second century BC.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Mm-hm. And where did it come from?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29It originally came from India,
0:11:29 > 0:11:33and the original idea of the game was to teach people
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Hindu ideas of karma and rebirth.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39If you lived a good life, a good and virtuous life,
0:11:39 > 0:11:41you were sent into the heavens on a ladder.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44If you lived a life full of sin and depravity,
0:11:44 > 0:11:48you slid down the snake back to the demons and the hells.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Now, one interesting thing about these early Indian sets
0:11:51 > 0:11:54were there were always more snakes than ladders.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57It was always harder to live a good and virtuous life
0:11:57 > 0:12:00than it was to fall into sin and depravity.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Returning colonial families brought the game to Britain
0:12:03 > 0:12:05in the latter half of 19th century.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09A flavour of its Indian roots remained in the artwork,
0:12:09 > 0:12:12giving a sense of the exotic in a time of empire,
0:12:12 > 0:12:16but the game itself was adapted to fit the Victorian lifestyle.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22If you land on this one, which is 95 and stealing,
0:12:22 > 0:12:28you will slide down this slippery slope to...prison.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- SHE LAUGHS - Absolutely.
0:12:30 > 0:12:35The Victorians replaced the Hindu ideas of karma and rebirth
0:12:35 > 0:12:38with their own Christian moral virtues.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40And interestingly, when it moved to Britain,
0:12:40 > 0:12:43the number of snakes and ladders became balanced,
0:12:43 > 0:12:46so it became 50-50 whether you ascended to heaven
0:12:46 > 0:12:48or fell into depravity.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Advocating a virtuous life through games
0:12:51 > 0:12:53has long been part of their history,
0:12:53 > 0:12:56and as board games became a regular feature in households
0:12:56 > 0:13:00at the turn of the 20th century, inventors continued the tradition
0:13:00 > 0:13:04using games to promote their own principles.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08Now, there's a game that's instantly recognisable - Monopoly.
0:13:08 > 0:13:09Yes.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Do you know, it was never one of my favourites.
0:13:12 > 0:13:17I always felt that Monopoly was about greed and acquisition
0:13:17 > 0:13:21and getting things off of other people.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Well, it is now, but would you believe it
0:13:24 > 0:13:26that it was originally designed to teach people
0:13:26 > 0:13:28the principles of socialism?
0:13:29 > 0:13:32In 1904, an American called Lizzie Magie
0:13:32 > 0:13:35received the patent for The Landlord's Game.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Lizzie was a trailblazer.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40At the turn of the century, a young, single woman,
0:13:40 > 0:13:42she worked as a stenographer, was a published writer,
0:13:42 > 0:13:46an outspoken feminist and believed in progressive economics.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50She wanted to do something to ease what she saw
0:13:50 > 0:13:52as great inequalities in society.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55At the age of 26,
0:13:55 > 0:13:58she decided that she could use a board game to open people's minds
0:13:58 > 0:14:02to a more socialist way of thinking.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Her game, like the later versions,
0:14:04 > 0:14:10featured money, deeds and properties, but it had some very different rules.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Her game promoted a theory that land should belong to everyone.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16She hoped the game would demonstrate
0:14:16 > 0:14:20that rent made property owners richer and their tenants poorer.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26The original idea of the game was that all the players
0:14:26 > 0:14:29would put money into the centre rather than pay one another,
0:14:29 > 0:14:30the landlords, the rent,
0:14:30 > 0:14:33and at various points during the game,
0:14:33 > 0:14:36all the players would take money out from this community chest
0:14:36 > 0:14:39and it was distributed for the common good.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41That sounds much better than the game it is today.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45How did it change into this sort of capitalist thing then?
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Well, 30 years later,
0:14:48 > 0:14:51a gentleman by the name of Charles Darrow played the game.
0:14:51 > 0:14:52Now, he liked the game,
0:14:52 > 0:14:55but he didn't like the principles underlying it.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58So, he rewrote the rules so it became
0:14:58 > 0:15:00all about becoming as rich as possible
0:15:00 > 0:15:02and bankrupting all of the other players.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03He changed the name to Monopoly
0:15:03 > 0:15:06and it became one of the most popular games in the world.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09The popularity of board games continues to grow,
0:15:09 > 0:15:12and to this day, the simple items that have been
0:15:12 > 0:15:15at the heart of family lives for so long
0:15:15 > 0:15:17continue to sell in their millions.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Thank you very, very much, Craig.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22It's been very interesting.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Thank you, Anita.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Now back to our own contest.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Phil is out and about in Barnton
0:15:31 > 0:15:33in search of his next bargain
0:15:33 > 0:15:36at Northwich Antiques Centre.
0:15:36 > 0:15:37Hello.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Hi. Philip. How are you?
0:15:39 > 0:15:40Welcome. My name is David.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51This is interesting.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52This is an old...
0:15:54 > 0:15:56..time recorder's clock,
0:15:56 > 0:15:59so when you went to work, you went to clock on.
0:15:59 > 0:16:04Time recorders were introduced into large factories in the 1880s.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07These machines stamped a worker's timecard
0:16:07 > 0:16:11with the exact time they started and finished work,
0:16:11 > 0:16:13and then they were paid accordingly.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17The only issue with that for me,
0:16:17 > 0:16:21if you look at this here, it's been completely cleaned off.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25That old pub table is interesting.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Nice table.
0:16:34 > 0:16:35There's another one.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38This is quite nice. I quite like these old pub tables.
0:16:38 > 0:16:44A lot of them, the value is in whose mark is here,
0:16:44 > 0:16:45so you can get some with Queen Victoria,
0:16:45 > 0:16:47you can get some with WG Grace,
0:16:47 > 0:16:49and they're really, really collectible.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53This one is fairly standard. They're pub tables.
0:16:53 > 0:16:58You know, now they get used...
0:16:58 > 0:17:00outside as garden tables.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02What does David have to say about it?
0:17:02 > 0:17:06- The pub table, I quite like that. It's an old one.- It is, yeah.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- It's Victorian. Copper-topped. - Yeah.- Big iron base.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13- We've got it up for 125...- Right.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16..but...willing to come down a little bit.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- It's not a little bit, David. - Well, what you talking about?
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Well, I've got to put this into auction,
0:17:21 > 0:17:23so if I see that making £50 to £80,
0:17:23 > 0:17:25I've got to try to buy it for 40 quid.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26- 40?- Mm.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29- Perhaps...- Well, think about it. Let's just think about it.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30Let's just have a look.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Not only is David very accommodating
0:17:32 > 0:17:34in the face of your discount request, Phil,
0:17:34 > 0:17:37but you've also got him doing all the carting, you cheeky beggar.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Are they both the same price, this one and that one there?
0:17:40 > 0:17:42- Yes.- Can I have a look at the...
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Do you mind if we get it out and have a look?
0:17:44 > 0:17:46- By all means. - I'm sorry to be an absolute...
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- That's OK.- ..pain.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Someone's painted a Britannia flag on this one, haven't they?
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Sounds like he prefers the first table,
0:17:56 > 0:17:59but will David take his £40 offer?
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- That one, yeah? - Blimey. That was a quick deal.
0:18:03 > 0:18:08David generously accepts and Phil gets the table at an £85 discount.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12- Tell you what, you've been really kind to me. Thank you.- OK.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14That's another item for Phil,
0:18:14 > 0:18:18and it ends a very productive day all round.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Time for a well-deserved kip, you two.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22Nighty-night.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26The sun is shining and the roof is down
0:18:26 > 0:18:28on our glamorous Italian icon.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31You know what they say, Anita, don't you?
0:18:31 > 0:18:34The sun always shines on the righteous.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36The sun is shining on me this morning.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39I know, but it's shining on me as well.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42HE CHUCKLES Things are looking bright all round.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Anita made a hefty spend yesterday,
0:18:44 > 0:18:48parting with £205 for a Lalique figurine,
0:18:48 > 0:18:53an Art Deco clock garniture and a nine carat gold pendant.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56In his bid to regain ground,
0:18:56 > 0:19:00Phil picked up a silver-plated pincushion and miniature compass,
0:19:00 > 0:19:04a 19th-century mahogany box and a copper-topped pub table
0:19:04 > 0:19:07all for £100.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08Wow.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12This morning, Anita is bound for the village of Sabden
0:19:12 > 0:19:14in the scenic Ribble Valley.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Try and buy something really expensive.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21I think I'll have to be a wee bit careful now.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23- (Get out of here.)- Bye!- Bye.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28Anita's heading into Pendle Antiques Centre where owner Walter awaits.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30- Watch out, Walt.- Good morning.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32- Oh, hi, Anita. - Hello!- Nice to see you.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Oh, it's lovely to be here.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38And this is an extraordinary building, fascinating.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40What was it before?
0:19:40 > 0:19:44It was an old cotton mill, originally built in 1856.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47From Lancashire mill to antiques haven,
0:19:47 > 0:19:50jam-packed with all sorts of treats and trinkets.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Careful, Anita.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57One of the lovely things about antique hunting
0:19:57 > 0:20:01is looking at things, and you really don't know what they are,
0:20:01 > 0:20:04and you've got to work it out for yourself.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08Our dealer here has got these two things,
0:20:08 > 0:20:11and he's at a loss to know what they are,
0:20:11 > 0:20:16so he's named them a pair of wood things
0:20:16 > 0:20:17with a question mark there.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20- SHE LAUGHS - That's good.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22A pair of wood things!
0:20:22 > 0:20:25The question is, is there anything you'd like to buy?
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Now, this is an interesting set of chairs here.
0:20:35 > 0:20:40These are in the style of Arne Jacobsen,
0:20:40 > 0:20:43a Danish designer.
0:20:43 > 0:20:49In the 1950s, he perfected the design of chairs
0:20:49 > 0:20:56where the back of it was made of one piece of moulded plywood.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59This was a ground-breaking design.
0:20:59 > 0:21:04This 1980s plastic set is priced at £120.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07With just rover 100 left in your pocket,
0:21:07 > 0:21:09can you sweet-talk the dealer?
0:21:09 > 0:21:14Hiya, Philip. I have a young lady here who would like a word with you.
0:21:14 > 0:21:15OK, just a sec.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Hey, Philip. Did you hear Walter calling me a young lady?
0:21:20 > 0:21:23SHE LAUGHS
0:21:23 > 0:21:26I'm looking at these orange plastic chairs of yours,
0:21:26 > 0:21:28which I've got really quite excited about.
0:21:28 > 0:21:33Can I make you an offer of £70?
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Oh, you're an absolute darling.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Thank you. Bye-bye.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44£70.
0:21:44 > 0:21:45Great. I'm happy.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46Let me shake your hand.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50- Thank you, darling, for being my go-between.- Oh, you're welcome.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Excellent work, Anita.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Some stackable design classics winging their way
0:21:55 > 0:21:56to a Yorkshire auction.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Meanwhile, Phil is toddling west towards Preston
0:22:01 > 0:22:04where he's headed to the Museum of Lancashire.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Stephen Bull is on hand to give him
0:22:06 > 0:22:09the lowdown on an incredible discovery.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14In 2011, local stonemason Darren Webster
0:22:14 > 0:22:18was scouring a field ten miles up the coast from Morecambe
0:22:18 > 0:22:20with his metal detector.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Little did he know he was about to make a significant discovery
0:22:23 > 0:22:28that would open a new window into the life of Viking Britain.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30When he dug down into the ground,
0:22:30 > 0:22:35what he found was some sort of lead container, like a lead pouch.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37And he lifts this up out off the ground
0:22:37 > 0:22:41and almost immediately it's apparent there's other things underneath.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Did he know what he got?
0:22:43 > 0:22:47For the first few seconds, probably not.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50But it began to leak, which must've been quite spectacular.
0:22:50 > 0:22:51Yeah.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54As coins began to spill from the container,
0:22:54 > 0:22:57the significance of the discovery became clearer.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Buried just a few inches beneath the surface was a collection
0:23:00 > 0:23:05of 200 silver items, including coins and jewellery
0:23:05 > 0:23:09that were later dated to around 980 AD.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12What became known as the Silverdale Hoard
0:23:12 > 0:23:16is the third-largest haul of Viking treasure
0:23:16 > 0:23:18ever discovered in Britain.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Stephen, my history is really, really sketchy,
0:23:21 > 0:23:24but the Vikings are Scandinavian, aren't they?
0:23:24 > 0:23:28Essentially, yes. Norway, Denmark, parts of Sweden.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30So, I'd always thought that they'd sort of...
0:23:30 > 0:23:32if they were going to come anywhere in to this country,
0:23:32 > 0:23:34it'd be on the east coast, not on the west coast.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35And you're right.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38They did originally come to the east coast of England,
0:23:38 > 0:23:41but they worked their way around the north,
0:23:41 > 0:23:43through Scotland, Scottish islands,
0:23:43 > 0:23:47down to the Isle of Man and also to Ireland.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Britain was no stranger to invaders.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52In the eighth century,
0:23:52 > 0:23:56nearly 400 years after the Roman army had left,
0:23:56 > 0:24:00Vikings began their first attacks on British shores.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02For nearly 70 years,
0:24:02 > 0:24:06these fearsome warriors plundered all along the east and west coasts.
0:24:09 > 0:24:15Then in 866, a huge Viking army landed intent on conquest.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19They decimated the northern kingdoms of England and captured York.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23The Anglo-Saxon King Alfred was forced to make a truce.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26The Vikings were granted their own area to settle in -
0:24:26 > 0:24:31this large section of the country became known as Danelaw.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35The Silverdale Hoard was buried for safekeeping near the coast
0:24:35 > 0:24:37of modern-day Lancashire,
0:24:37 > 0:24:40which at that time was part of a Viking kingdom.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44We have some ingots of silver,
0:24:44 > 0:24:48and these are literally pieces of silver of set weights
0:24:48 > 0:24:51that could be used as a method of exchange.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Or you could actually melt them down and turn them into a...
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- A Viking bullion almost, isn't it? - Absolutely.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57- That's just what they are.- Yeah.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01- And what about the coins? - The coins?- They're fascinating.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03This one is a Carolingian one.
0:25:03 > 0:25:09We're talking about Eastern France or Western Germany.
0:25:09 > 0:25:14So, that's a 1,000-year-old silver coin from Western Europe.
0:25:14 > 0:25:15Yes.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17At the start of the Viking age,
0:25:17 > 0:25:21coins were valued only for their weight in silver or gold.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24It was common for coins brought back from other countries
0:25:24 > 0:25:28to be found together, and currency from anywhere could still be used.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32So, that there, in Viking times would that have been a week's wages,
0:25:32 > 0:25:34a month's wages, a year's wages?
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Very often, people didn't get wages.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41They were supplied with goods or materials or supplied...
0:25:41 > 0:25:43- Barter.- ..with the goods back.- Yeah.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46But I would've thought we're talking a chicken there for a single penny.
0:25:46 > 0:25:47Really?
0:25:47 > 0:25:51Amongst the collection is what is known as hacksilver -
0:25:51 > 0:25:54large pieces of jewellery that were divided into smaller pieces
0:25:54 > 0:25:57to make up exact weight of silver for trading.
0:25:57 > 0:26:02The various coins from locations as far as modern day Baghdad
0:26:02 > 0:26:05shows that the Viking world was vast.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Scandinavian travellers traded as far away
0:26:08 > 0:26:11as Russia and Newfoundland.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Which is your favourite piece out of the hoard?
0:26:13 > 0:26:18It may look insignificant, but coin number one is a coin
0:26:18 > 0:26:21of somebody called Harthacnut.
0:26:21 > 0:26:28Now, we didn't know a Viking ruler of the name Harthacnut
0:26:28 > 0:26:31before this particular hoard was found, so...
0:26:31 > 0:26:34- He's rewritten history. - He has rewritten history.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Although little else is currently known,
0:26:36 > 0:26:40this discovery confirmed that a previously unknown ruler
0:26:40 > 0:26:43significant enough to be named on a coin
0:26:43 > 0:26:46controlled a large section of this country.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50This opens a new chapter not just in Lancashire's history,
0:26:50 > 0:26:51but for all of Britain.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55And all this comes from a guy perhaps on a Sunday morning
0:26:55 > 0:26:58with his hobby going out metal detecting.
0:26:58 > 0:26:59That's it.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03I'm just going to go and dig a field up. I'll be back in a minute.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08The Vikings remained as settlers and invaders for 200 years.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Their final action in this country was their defeat in battle
0:27:13 > 0:27:18just a few weeks before Norman forces invaded in 1066.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24The collection is now on display not far from where it was buried
0:27:24 > 0:27:26over 1,000 years ago by the people
0:27:26 > 0:27:28who once controlled this part of Britain.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Back on the road and our pair are reunited
0:27:39 > 0:27:41as they head for the city of Lancaster.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Look at that there. How can you beat that for scenery?
0:27:44 > 0:27:46It's love... Keep your eye on the road.
0:27:46 > 0:27:47She's right.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50On the banks of the River Lune, Lancaster was once a Roman frontier
0:27:50 > 0:27:53defending the area from marauding Scots.
0:27:53 > 0:27:54Ha!
0:27:54 > 0:27:57Ironic that, because today our own forager from the north
0:27:57 > 0:27:58only has antiques on her mind.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01This is one of the biggest antique centres in the UK.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04- It's massive, isn't it? - Very, very busy.
0:28:04 > 0:28:05It's certainly sizable,
0:28:05 > 0:28:09so it's up to father and son Alan and Jimmy to help our pair navigate.
0:28:11 > 0:28:12Somewhere or other,
0:28:12 > 0:28:15there's going to be an absolute steal of a bargain,
0:28:15 > 0:28:17and all you've got to do is find it.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Lovely to see you. Thanks for coming.
0:28:23 > 0:28:24Doesn't say much, does she?
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Just like that. It's just like that. Not like that. Like that.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38SHE LAUGHS
0:28:38 > 0:28:41This is not an umbrella.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45An umbrella keeps the rain off of you.
0:28:45 > 0:28:51This is a parasol, and a parasol is a fashion statement.
0:28:51 > 0:28:57Now, costume and textiles are really quite hot
0:28:57 > 0:28:59in today's market,
0:28:59 > 0:29:05so I think it might be quite a nice thing to go for a parasol.
0:29:05 > 0:29:10Now, this one is rather big.
0:29:14 > 0:29:21But this one, it's small, it's dainty...
0:29:21 > 0:29:23and it's sweet.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27I mean, what is this parasol doing?
0:29:27 > 0:29:34Absolutely nothing except being a wee bit glamorous.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36Speaking of glamour,
0:29:36 > 0:29:39what has our sophisticated Mr Serrell found?
0:29:39 > 0:29:41So, this is an old boot scraper.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44It would've been outside someone's front door, wasn't it?
0:29:44 > 0:29:47- Well, yeah.- You just put your foot on there and just do that.
0:29:47 > 0:29:48Yes, that's for scraping.
0:29:48 > 0:29:53But I think the curve underneath was to actually put your boot
0:29:53 > 0:29:55underneath and help to loosen it.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Oh, right. Right.
0:29:57 > 0:30:01So, it helped you get it off as well as scrape it clean.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04You see, at auction, I think that's going to make £30 to £50.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06I've got to try it for £20, £25.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09That's where... Which is tough, but can we just...
0:30:09 > 0:30:11- Let's put it back there.- Yeah.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15Tough indeed. Its ticket price is 68.
0:30:15 > 0:30:19Back with the glamorous parasol, Anita has called in Jimmy.
0:30:19 > 0:30:20- Hi.- Hi, Anita.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24I had a look at this parasol here. Quite liked that.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27- OK.- It's small, it's dainty.- Yeah.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29And I think it just...
0:30:29 > 0:30:32I think there's quite a bit of age to it as well, isn't there?
0:30:32 > 0:30:33- Yeah.- It's...
0:30:33 > 0:30:37- What I do have, though, is damage there.- Right. OK.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41- And in textiles, damage is very important.- Yeah.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43And I think I've had a repair here.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45In fact, I have had repair.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47- There.- Yeah.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49Let me see if it suits you.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Probably not as well as you, to be honest.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53- Aw! - SHE LAUGHS
0:30:53 > 0:30:57- So, it's priced at £44 at the moment.- But it is damaged.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01- Yeah, I'm taking on board exactly what you're saying.- Mm-hm.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03How's £25 sound?
0:31:03 > 0:31:05Would 22 buy it?
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Go on, then.
0:31:07 > 0:31:08- Shall we do it?- Yeah. Absolutely.- OK.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12- That's great.- I'll be sad to see it go cos I like twirling it myself.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15- SHE LAUGHS - I saw it first!
0:31:15 > 0:31:18That's half price for the parasol.
0:31:20 > 0:31:21What has Phil found?
0:31:21 > 0:31:24I quite like these. They're different, aren't they?
0:31:24 > 0:31:25Yeah, very authentic.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27- These would've been sat in an office.- Correct.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31I'm not actually sure that these drawers all match,
0:31:31 > 0:31:34but I kind of think it doesn't matter.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37They're that shabby side of shabby chic, aren't they?
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Well, I don't know how much they are cos there's no price,
0:31:39 > 0:31:41but, I mean, I think...
0:31:41 > 0:31:45HE TAPS Easy, Phil.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47I don't think that base has got anything to do with it, has it?
0:31:47 > 0:31:50- It just does the job. - It does the job, exactly.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54- The stone wrought-iron step thing that we saw earlier...- Yes.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56- ..and these chests...- Right.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59..now, I think these two will make 30 to 50 at auction,
0:31:59 > 0:32:04and I think the stone scraper thing will make 30 to 50 at auction,
0:32:04 > 0:32:07which means I've got to try and buy this little pile for 20 quid
0:32:07 > 0:32:09if I can and the stone thing for 20 quid if I can,
0:32:09 > 0:32:11which is the two for 40.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13How is that going to...?
0:32:13 > 0:32:17Well, I think we could do 50, Phil.
0:32:17 > 0:32:1945, would that squeeze you?
0:32:19 > 0:32:22- 45 is probably the right price. - You're a gentlemen.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24Thank you ever so, ever so much.
0:32:24 > 0:32:29Phil gets the boot scraper and the filing cabinets for £45.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35Now, where would we find Anita?
0:32:35 > 0:32:38I'm just looking at a nice Victorian brooch.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42Now, I wanted to spend all of my money,
0:32:42 > 0:32:46but I still have £10.06 left.
0:32:46 > 0:32:50This brooch here, Victorian brooch...
0:32:50 > 0:32:53It won't be gold. It will be pinchbeck or rolled gold
0:32:53 > 0:32:57with a very nice citrine in the middle.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00It's priced at £18.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03What I'm going to do is I'm going to say to Jimmy,
0:33:03 > 0:33:09"Can I buy that for £10.06?" and see what happens.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11Only one way to find out.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13- Can I have a wee look at that one? - Absolutely.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15It's been...
0:33:15 > 0:33:18They've polished it and cleaned it up beautifully.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21- Not gold. Rolled gold or pinchbeck. - Yeah.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23It's priced at £18.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25That's the only thing.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29I've got £10.06.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33Can I buy this for £10.06?
0:33:33 > 0:33:36As long as you add the six pence to the ten pounds, we've got a deal.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38- Oh, that's great.- Thank you.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42I've spent every single penny, and that's what I wanted to do.
0:33:42 > 0:33:47With that bold move from Anita, all our shopping is done.
0:33:50 > 0:33:54Phil spent £145 on a silver-plated pincushion
0:33:54 > 0:33:55and miniature compass,
0:33:55 > 0:34:00a 19th-century mahogany box, a copper-topped pub table,
0:34:00 > 0:34:05a wrought-iron boot scraper and a set of vintage drawers.
0:34:07 > 0:34:12Anita cleared out every last penny of her £307.06,
0:34:12 > 0:34:15picking up a Lalique figurine,
0:34:15 > 0:34:17an Art Deco clock garniture,
0:34:17 > 0:34:20a set of plastic chairs,
0:34:20 > 0:34:21a Victorian parasol
0:34:21 > 0:34:25and a gold pendant that she's now pairing with her yellow metal brooch.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32What do they say about their opponent's finds?
0:34:32 > 0:34:35If you're going to buy a piece of French glass, you buy Lalique.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37It's the best, and Anita has done just that.
0:34:37 > 0:34:41I hope for her sake the people of Yorkshire really appreciate it too.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44Phil Serrell has bought well this time.
0:34:44 > 0:34:48The boot scraper is just down his street,
0:34:48 > 0:34:52and I think he could double his money on that.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56So, with hope in their hearts, it's off to the auction.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58After starting this leg in Frodsham,
0:34:58 > 0:35:02our pair have zipped their way through Cheshire and Lancashire
0:35:02 > 0:35:05and are ending up in Easingwold in North Yorkshire.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09All this rural travel seems to agree with our pair.
0:35:09 > 0:35:10A big moo-cow!
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Aw! Now here's the ducks. I like ducks.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16Cock-a-doodle-doo! Cock-a-doodle-doo!
0:35:16 > 0:35:19Once they've finish playing in the farmyard,
0:35:19 > 0:35:22it's time to do battle at the auction.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24This should be fun, Philip.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27- SHE LAUGHS - Here we go again. Into the coliseum.
0:35:27 > 0:35:32The lions are waiting for me. Look. Oh, no!
0:35:32 > 0:35:34Summersgills Auctions are family-run affair
0:35:34 > 0:35:37and have been striking the gavel in Yorkshire since 1959.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41Auctioneer Tim Summersgill is taking care of proceedings today,
0:35:41 > 0:35:45but before the off, what does he make of our pair's lots?
0:35:45 > 0:35:47The clock garniture set is a nice lot.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50It fits well in with our items that we sell.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52I would say that would do quite well.
0:35:52 > 0:35:53I'd say probably 50 to 100.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56The filing drawers are an unusual lot.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59It's not normally what we sell, but you just never know. That's it.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01So, we've got the internet, so let's see how it goes
0:36:01 > 0:36:03and hope we go very well.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08Both experts have five lots,
0:36:08 > 0:36:12but leader Anita has risked all her cash.
0:36:12 > 0:36:13Will she regret it?
0:36:16 > 0:36:19First lot. Keep your fingers crossed.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23Our first lot of the day is Anita's parasol.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26Bit of interest straight in on this one at £20. £20 bid on this one.
0:36:26 > 0:36:3222 there. 24. 26. 28. 28. 30 just in time. At £30 at the back.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35A feeling of deja vu at the moment.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38No-one else come in. We're selling. £30. 61.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41Ha! A great profit to start us off.
0:36:41 > 0:36:42Not a big profit.
0:36:42 > 0:36:47- No, no, no.- Fair. Fair.- Just another little profit. Well done, you.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50Next up is Phil's mahogany box.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Bids all over, so we're straight in at £90 for this one.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55- Oh!- £90 bid on this. 95 anywhere else?
0:36:55 > 0:36:58On commission at £90.
0:36:58 > 0:36:59All out in the room?
0:37:01 > 0:37:03£90. You beauty.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06Going for a maiden commission bid,
0:37:06 > 0:37:09that great profit has sure floored Phil.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13- I'll settle for that. That's really good, isn't it?- That's fabulous.
0:37:13 > 0:37:14Yeah.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16Anita got carried away with the clock.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18Let's hope the bidders do the same.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- Straight in at 25 on this one. - 25.- 25 bid on commission.
0:37:21 > 0:37:2228 anywhere else?
0:37:22 > 0:37:2628. 30 there. 32. 34 here.
0:37:26 > 0:37:2934 on commission. 35 now on the internet.
0:37:29 > 0:37:34- 36. 45 now on the internet. - The internet's interested.
0:37:34 > 0:37:3550 anywhere else?
0:37:35 > 0:37:38On the internet at 45.
0:37:38 > 0:37:43There was no need to worry, as Anita lands another profit.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45- I'm happy with that.- Oh, yeah, yeah. - Are you happy for me?
0:37:45 > 0:37:48Oh, I'm over the moon. Absolutely over the moon.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52Always good to see some friendly support, eh, Phil?
0:37:52 > 0:37:54They caught his eye at the counter,
0:37:54 > 0:37:58but will his compass and pincushion bring him a profit?
0:37:58 > 0:38:0220 straight in. £20 bid on this. 25 anywhere else?
0:38:02 > 0:38:04- 25. 28 here.- Good, good, good.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07Just in time at 30. Right at the back at £30.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10Your bid, sir, at £30.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12Aw. No gain, no pain.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15It's a small loss after costs,
0:38:15 > 0:38:18but there's plenty of time to make that back.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21Never mind. You're a mere man.
0:38:21 > 0:38:25Sometimes you do make mistakes, you know. You can't help it.
0:38:25 > 0:38:26Hey, let's hope there's no mistake
0:38:26 > 0:38:30with your Danish-design-inspired chairs then, Anita.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32Bids on these, straight in at 50 on these.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34£50 bid. 55. 60 on these.
0:38:34 > 0:38:3970 there. 75. 80. £80. 90, sir?
0:38:39 > 0:38:43Your bid at £80. Last chance.
0:38:43 > 0:38:44That's OK.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just another little profit, isn't it?
0:38:47 > 0:38:51Certainly is. Another profit then for Anita.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53It's just a tiny, tiny little profit.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55- IMITATES ANITA:- It's a just a tiny little wee profit!
0:38:57 > 0:39:01But there's time to catch up, Phil. Your boot scraper is next.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04Three bids here, so we're straight in at 55 on this one.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07- Get in. - 55 bid on it. 60 anywhere else?
0:39:07 > 0:39:09£60 just in time. £60 here.
0:39:09 > 0:39:14We're selling at £60. All out in the room? At 60 we sell.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16That's a great profit for Phil.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19- Well done. - That'll do, won't it? That'll do.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23It's one of Anita's big-money purchases.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25Will it set pulses racing?
0:39:25 > 0:39:28Straight in at £50 on this one. £50 on this.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30Nice little lot at £50.
0:39:30 > 0:39:34All done? 55. 60. Five. 70.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37£70 there. All in at 70 to sell?
0:39:37 > 0:39:38Last chance.
0:39:40 > 0:39:41Uh-oh.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44That's the first loss of the day for Anita
0:39:44 > 0:39:45and opens the door for Phil.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48It could've been a lot worse, Phil.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51Our auctioneer thought these were unusual for his sale room,
0:39:51 > 0:39:53but Phil is holding out hope.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55I am like them - bang on trend.
0:39:55 > 0:39:56- Yeah?- Yeah.- Uh-huh.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59Can tell that by the anoraks you wear.
0:39:59 > 0:40:0191 is the Oriental light...
0:40:01 > 0:40:03Bids again, so straight in at 45 bid on this.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06- 45. Well done.- 45. 48. 50.
0:40:06 > 0:40:11Five. 60. Five. 70 at the back. 75. 80. 85.
0:40:11 > 0:40:15- Oh, brilliant. Brilliant. - 90. 95. 100 for you, Sean.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18All done at £100? All out?
0:40:21 > 0:40:22Brilliant.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26A fantastic 300% profit for Phil.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29What's really mad about this business is that has just made
0:40:29 > 0:40:31the same sort of money that a Victorian chest of drawers has made.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34- Yeah.- And that's madness, isn't it?- Mm-hm.
0:40:34 > 0:40:39Mad it may be, but it puts you right back in the running, Phil.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42Anita's turn now with her pendant and brooch.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44I mean, I wouldn't wish ill on you, Anita,
0:40:44 > 0:40:46cos you're very dear and old friend of mine,
0:40:46 > 0:40:49but it would be ever so nice if they paid 20 quid, wouldn't it?
0:40:49 > 0:40:52Bids all over on these, so straight in at 90 again.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56£90 on these. 95 anywhere else?
0:40:56 > 0:40:58All done then? £90.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00Don't miss them for a fiver.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02Last chance.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05Someone picked them up without a fight and for a great price,
0:41:05 > 0:41:08and it's more good news for Phil.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10- I was glad I bought them. - Fair play to you.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13You spent every penny, and I don't think you've lost...
0:41:13 > 0:41:14It's a dangerous strategy, that,
0:41:14 > 0:41:17and I don't think you've actually lost that much money.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20Phil's final lot is his pub table.
0:41:20 > 0:41:24Straight in at £40 on this one. £40. 45. 50.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26Five. 60. Five. 70.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28Five. 80.
0:41:28 > 0:41:3090. 100.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32110. 110 then.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34- 110.- I'm surprised.- Yeah.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37120. 130. 130.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40140, is it? 140. 150.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42150 right across that side.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46Well, well done, anyway.
0:41:46 > 0:41:47Yeah, I should say so.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50Phil is stunned, and it's a cracking profit.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53What a great way to round up today's auction.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56You've done well. Congratulations.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58Let's go.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01So, what does that do to this week's totals?
0:42:02 > 0:42:07Anita made the daring move of spending all of her £307.06.
0:42:07 > 0:42:12After costs, she made a small loss of £48.76,
