0:00:02 > 0:00:04It's the nation's favourite antiques experts.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06- This is beautiful. - That's the way to do this.
0:00:06 > 0:00:12With £200 each, a classic car and a goal - to scour for antiques.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14- Joy.- Hello.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19HE LAUGHS
0:00:19 > 0:00:23- There'll be worthy winners and valiant losers.- Sorry!
0:00:23 > 0:00:27So, will it be the high road to glory or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:27 > 0:00:29The handbrake's on!
0:00:29 > 0:00:32This is Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Yeah!
0:00:37 > 0:00:41It's the first leg of a brand-new road trip
0:00:41 > 0:00:44and this week, it's the return of old partners in crime,
0:00:44 > 0:00:48James Braxton and Charlie Ross.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51# Another opening, another show
0:00:51 > 0:00:55# In Philly, Boston or Baltimo'
0:00:55 > 0:00:58# Another chance for the folks to show
0:00:58 > 0:01:02# Another opening of another show. #
0:01:02 > 0:01:04How's that?
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Sounds all right to me, Charlie.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10They are travelling in a 1961 Ford Zephyr, manufactured
0:01:10 > 0:01:15before seatbelts were mandatory, and spirits are high on day one.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- The sun is out.- The sun is out.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20I'm in the hands of an expert driver.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- Yes.- In a luxury car.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25On the last outing those two took together,
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Charlie smashed a road trip record.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31He paid just £8 for a Staffordshire elephant,
0:01:31 > 0:01:35and sold it for an astonishing £2,700.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37You're hearing this?
0:01:37 > 0:01:40For the last time, £2,700...
0:01:42 > 0:01:45APPLAUSE
0:01:45 > 0:01:47- Take a bow.- Take a bow.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49James took his defeat on the chin.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53I'm leaving. I think my road trip is over.
0:01:53 > 0:01:54LAUGHTER
0:01:54 > 0:01:57But this time round, he's going to new lengths to try
0:01:57 > 0:02:00to gain the upper hand.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Since I last saw you, since our Scottish trip,
0:02:02 > 0:02:06I bring a new thing in my life, which is yoga.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Don't tell me you're into yoga?!
0:02:10 > 0:02:15Both mentally prepared and physically prepared.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19You are taking on the athlete of antiques.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Could have fooled me!
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Our experts have £200 to spend.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Their trip starts in the Lincolnshire town of Boston
0:02:27 > 0:02:30and meanders through Norfolk and Cambridgeshire, up to Leicestershire
0:02:30 > 0:02:33before heading south and finishing in the Surrey town of Cobham.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Today's leg starts off from Boston
0:02:38 > 0:02:41and heads to auction in the rural Norfolk town of Fakenham.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Charlie's first shop is an old railway station office.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Look at this. Oh!
0:02:54 > 0:02:58All my shopping will be over in a twinkling of an eyelash.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- Go forward and multiply.- Multiply.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- Multiply.- 200 quid! Bingo!
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Crikey, he's in a hurry!
0:03:09 > 0:03:13- Jack, I'm running to meet you. - I don't blame you.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16It's always such a pleasure to be here. Can I have a look round?
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- Yeah, have a look round.- Wonderful.
0:03:20 > 0:03:25They bill themselves here as dealers in nostalgia, and that may be true,
0:03:25 > 0:03:28but it's outside that looks rather interesting.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Good Lord, you've got a camel! Was that here last time I came?
0:03:33 > 0:03:37- No, no, that's recent.- Can I go and sit on him?- Yeah, you go sit on him.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40- I've never bought a camel.- No.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46- I'm going to fall over this damn thing.- Mind how you go, Charlie.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50- Oh, gosh! - The stepladder is not very strong.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54I feel like Lawrence of Arabia already.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56You look a bit like Peter O'Toole.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02SINGS THEME TO LAWRENCE OF ARABIA
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Haven't got any white robes, have you, Jack?
0:04:06 > 0:04:10This is not a camel for a hernia problem, is it?
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- How much is your camel, Jack? - He can be 275 to you.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- What a steal, Jack. - It's for nothing, isn't it?- It is.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20A steal, but, sadly, too rich for your blood, Charlie.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Time to get inside and see
0:04:22 > 0:04:25if there's anything in your price range here.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- It's a bit more modern, that, isn't it?- Yeah, it's '50s, isn't it?
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Got a plastic head. He's quite fun, though.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34We're getting almost buyable.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- Can that be 30 quid?- No.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Jack, I thought I'd ask.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42There's never any harm in asking, Jack.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- £70.- 55?
0:04:45 > 0:04:47£60, I'll have a deal with you.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51- He's coming down. Jack's coming my way.- £60.- Jack's coming to meet me.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Oh, hang on.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- That's ghastly, isn't it? - What's that?
0:04:56 > 0:04:57You must agree with me -
0:04:57 > 0:05:01- that's the most awful cruet I've ever seen in my life.- Yeah.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04But... Chromium plated,
0:05:04 > 0:05:08- 19...- It's got to be '50s. - ..60-something, I'd say.
0:05:08 > 0:05:13Salt and pepper in the form of a rather...
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- £35, Charlie.- 35.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Now we're going, now we're going. We're really motoring now.
0:05:18 > 0:05:23Could spend all my £200 here today and then go to the seaside.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Bingo would be so jealous.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27So would I.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30With the model car and the salt-and-pepper cruet
0:05:30 > 0:05:34under consideration, he is making progress.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Charlie...- Yeah.- ..what about this globe here? That's quite nice.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Very 1960s, isn't it?
0:05:40 > 0:05:43- That's nice, isn't it? - Is that a 30-quid globe?
0:05:43 > 0:05:46- No, it's not. 75.- 75.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50- But it's just nice.- Lovely globe. It's in super condition.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51We'll talk prices.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54I've seen three things there I might well be able to get...
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Come round, Jack. Let's get to the nitty-gritty of this.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01HE EXHALES
0:06:01 > 0:06:03I quite like your globe. I love your toy.
0:06:03 > 0:06:09The cruet I think is ghastly, but is saleable at a price.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- Not going to take 100 quid for those three, are you?- No.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Or are you? Cash.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Give me another 20 and you've got a deal.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- 120 for the three?- Yeah.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- 110?- No, 120.- That's it, isn't it?
0:06:23 > 0:06:25- Yeah, that's the lot. - And not a penny less.- No.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27I'm not going to knock you any more
0:06:27 > 0:06:29because I think you've been very fair to me.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Charlie's off on a flyer.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35He's got the globe for £50, the 1960s battery-operated car,
0:06:35 > 0:06:39also for £50,
0:06:39 > 0:06:43and the chromium-plated cruet in the form of an aeroplane for £20.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Got it? Good.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47- Lovely to see you, Jack.- Well done. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- See you again.- Bye-bye. - Yeah, bye-bye.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Meanwhile, James is heading to the centre of Boston.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03This charming little antiques and collectables emporium
0:07:03 > 0:07:05is his first shop,
0:07:05 > 0:07:09and if the paint looks fresh, well, that's because it only just opened.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- Hello, James.- Welcome to the Magpie's Nest.- Hello.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- What are you called?- Des. - Des, very nice to meet you.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- We've only been open for one week now.- One week?- One week.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23So there's no point in me saying fresh goods here. They're all fresh.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27- All fresh goods. - Lead on. Lead on, Des.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30This way into one of the first rooms.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33The shop may be new and the stock may be fresh,
0:07:33 > 0:07:36but nothing's got James hooked just yet.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40We're not finding you a sale yet?
0:07:40 > 0:07:43No, don't worry. I just like to drink it all in.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Drink it all in.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48And he won't miss a thing.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Look at this tall fellow. He is handsome.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57I always like something that's a little tall. What is this for?
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- I think that's for gladioli. - Gladioli.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Dame Edna Everage's great, great thing.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06I love the way she used to throw it at the end of the thing.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08She used to throw these things out.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Gladioli is like being hit by a bit of bamboo, isn't it?
0:08:12 > 0:08:13THEY LAUGH
0:08:13 > 0:08:18I think it's made for a '60s, '70s market, isn't it?
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- So very light, isn't it? - What have you got on it?- £22 on it.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- You chancer, Des, eh?- What about 15?
0:08:24 > 0:08:27What about 15? What about 10, mate?
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- £12 and it's yours.- 12, you say?
0:08:31 > 0:08:33- 12.- 12, put it there.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- Thank you very much. - Very kind. Thank you, Des.
0:08:36 > 0:08:41Well, possums, the Dame-Edna-inspired gladioli vase,
0:08:41 > 0:08:43which had a ticket price for £22,
0:08:43 > 0:08:46has been snapped up by James for £12.
0:08:52 > 0:08:57Charlie has travelled to the Lincolnshire town of Spalding.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01With three items already under his belt, he's on a roll.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- Ah, this must be the boss? - This is the boss.- Hello, boss.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- Hello, Charlie. Nice to see you. - Your name is?- John.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12John, lovely to be here, John. Now, may I have a quick look round?
0:09:12 > 0:09:14You have a look round with pleasure.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18It's not every antique shop which can boast its very own
0:09:18 > 0:09:24oil painting of Chas and Dave, so what other gems are there in here?
0:09:25 > 0:09:28On my way in here, out of the corner of my eye,
0:09:28 > 0:09:31I caught a glimpse of an extremely exciting item.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Now, what would that be?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Well, I tell you what, what do fish have on the outside?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- They have scales.- Scales?- They do. - What's outside?- A set of scales.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41THEY LAUGH
0:09:41 > 0:09:43- Can we go and have a look at them? - Yes, let's have a look.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- Thank you.- After you.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- Here they are. Look at that.- Yes.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- Avery of Birmingham.- That's right. - Victorian.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Hang your weights on there, I suppose, don't you,
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- and there's the fine tuning for your pounds.- That's right.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03On the scale of things, these look very nice.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07I'll be perfectly honest with you.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11- I think they'll probably sell for 35 quid at auction.- What about...
0:10:11 > 0:10:13rock bottom...
0:10:13 > 0:10:16£30 notes?
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Charlie's going to think about that one.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23He's also spotted a flash little number
0:10:23 > 0:10:25that might just suit his personality.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Ooh, you've got a racing car, a Ferrari, no less.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- I think it is a Ferrari. - It is a Ferrari.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34I can tell you it's a Ferrari. Look at that.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38- Wonderful. I've sold a real one of these.- I know you have.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Do you know how much it made? 16 million.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43I think this is probably a little less.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46This is a very good model, actually. It's even got the old...
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Well, that's terribly expensive.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51- It's a tenner.- Is it a tenner?
0:10:51 > 0:10:56- It's a tenner.- What, a Ferrari for a tenner?- A Ferrari for a tenner.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58You're in Spalding.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01THEY LAUGH
0:11:01 > 0:11:03I love that line.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07"A Ferrari for a tenner. You're in Spalding!"
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- I'm getting very excited...- Really?
0:11:10 > 0:11:13..by your Ferrari and your Victorian scales.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18We might be able to do a little package, do you think?
0:11:20 > 0:11:24The scales have a ticket price of £40, and the car £10,
0:11:24 > 0:11:28but can Charlie strike a deal for the two?
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Now, you don't want to take £20 for your scales, do you?
0:11:30 > 0:11:34- I'm trying hard. - I'll take £30 for the scales.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37The scales I want to buy because I think I might make a profit.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40This I want to buy cos I don't think it will make a profit,
0:11:40 > 0:11:42but it's me, isn't it?
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- I'll give you 30 quid for your scales, John.- OK.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48I'm sorry I haggled so hard. That was a bit naughty of me, really.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51No, it wasn't. It was most enjoyable.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54But you stuck your ground and I'm happy to give you £30.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Well, that's very kind of you. You ought to have the Ferrari.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02I should have a Ferrari, shouldn't I? It's silly not to buy a Ferrari.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- That's right.- £30 for your scales. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08I shall be able to go out this evening now.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Yeah, I'm going to have your bloomin' Ferrari.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- I can't resist it. - I can go out tomorrow night as well.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17You can go out for the rest of the week, sir.
0:12:17 > 0:12:18- John, it's been a pleasure. - I enjoyed it.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Thank you very much indeed.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23So, Charlie walks away with the scales for £30
0:12:23 > 0:12:27and a rather sentimental purchase of the model Ferrari Testarossa
0:12:27 > 0:12:32for £10, bringing his total spend to £160.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Bingo, who would have thought it?
0:12:35 > 0:12:37I've come to Spalding and what have I found?
0:12:37 > 0:12:40A Ferrari Testarossa!
0:12:44 > 0:12:48While Charlie's been spending, James is heading to King's Lynn.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52During the early part of World War I,
0:12:52 > 0:12:57this historic Norfolk town was literally struck with tragedy.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59It was one of the first places in Britain to be
0:12:59 > 0:13:03bombed from the air by the Germans.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07To make matters worse, King's Lynn wasn't even the intended target.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10James has come to the Lynn Museum,
0:13:10 > 0:13:13where curator Dana Woolbright can tell him more.
0:13:14 > 0:13:19- Hello.- Hello. James Braxton. - Welcome to Lynn Museum.- Hello.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21- Would you like to follow me? - Yes, lead on.
0:13:21 > 0:13:26In January 1915, two massive German Zeppelin airships came
0:13:26 > 0:13:29floating over the Norfolk skies.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33Many people in Britain had heard of these, but nobody would ever
0:13:33 > 0:13:36have expected to see them flying overhead,
0:13:36 > 0:13:39leave alone what was about to come.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41King's Lynn was actually one of the first places
0:13:41 > 0:13:43to be bombed by a Zeppelin.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46On the night of 19th January 1915,
0:13:46 > 0:13:49two Zeppelins flew over from Germany, both carrying bombs.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52When the L4 Zeppelin came over King's Lynn,
0:13:52 > 0:13:54it dropped a total of eight bombs.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Some of them didn't explode, others did.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Several people were injured and buildings were destroyed,
0:14:01 > 0:14:04and there was two casualties, unfortunately, on that night.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06This is actually a piece of the Zeppelin bomb
0:14:06 > 0:14:10which came down in a very small village outside of King's Lynn.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14- So is this just the tip of it? - It's just the tip of it.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18- And that's a real weight, isn't it? - It really is, yeah.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22The bombing of King's Lynn and the deaths of two locals inspired
0:14:22 > 0:14:26the community to become more involved with the war effort.
0:14:26 > 0:14:31Engineers, in particular, had valuable expertise to bring to the
0:14:31 > 0:14:36table and local firm Savage's turned their business towards the fight.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42Frederick Savage was a fantastic engineer and entrepreneur.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46He started off his business in farming and agricultural equipment
0:14:46 > 0:14:49before he then branched off into fairground rides.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52In the Victorian era, no fairground would be complete without
0:14:52 > 0:14:54one of the Savage's carousels.
0:14:54 > 0:14:59So, from a carousel, from a sort of tractor-maker to carousel-maker,
0:14:59 > 0:15:03which avenue did he go down for the war effort?
0:15:03 > 0:15:05By the time the First World War started,
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Frederick Savage had unfortunately died,
0:15:07 > 0:15:09but his sons were running the business instead
0:15:09 > 0:15:12and they managed to secure the manufacturing rights
0:15:12 > 0:15:14to the Voisin LA biplane,
0:15:14 > 0:15:17which they made in their factory here in King's Lynn.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20The skills of working with canvas and wire, engineering equipment
0:15:20 > 0:15:25was easily transferable into working with these planes.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28From flying horses to flying planes,
0:15:28 > 0:15:34Savage's produced a number of these aircraft for the British war effort,
0:15:34 > 0:15:37and the King's Lynn engineering expertise didn't stop there.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40A local inventor by the name of Thomas Cooper
0:15:40 > 0:15:44revolutionised how we bombed the enemy.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47This is a Thomas Cooper bomb, which were made in King's Lynn,
0:15:47 > 0:15:50and they were one of the first small aerial bombs to be
0:15:50 > 0:15:52used during the First World War.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54They were fitted with a safety device, which meant that they
0:15:54 > 0:15:58wouldn't explode until they'd been dropped out of the aeroplane.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00That's a very wise idea.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03And this great wheel thing going on in the front?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Yeah, that's part of the safety device,
0:16:05 > 0:16:08- so this little propeller would have fitted on the front there.- Yeah.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10That would have been spinning as it went out
0:16:10 > 0:16:13and once it had spun enough times, you get your explosion.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Interesting that in King's Lynn, we've got Savage's,
0:16:15 > 0:16:20we've got Cooper's and this probably was replicated all over the country,
0:16:20 > 0:16:24everybody migrating their existing skills
0:16:24 > 0:16:26to help with the mighty war effort.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30This collective invention and spirit played an important role,
0:16:30 > 0:16:33and its impact on helping win the First World War
0:16:33 > 0:16:35cannot be underestimated.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46Right now, it's time for the chaps to have some well-earned rest
0:16:46 > 0:16:49so, nighty-night.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56It's a brand-new day and the boys are back on the hunt
0:16:56 > 0:17:00for antiques, with Charlie taking on chauffeuring duties.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04- Is everything all right in the back, sir?- Lovely, thank you.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Yesterday, Charlie was a big spender,
0:17:07 > 0:17:10splashing £160 on five lots.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15A 1960s vintage battery-operated car,
0:17:15 > 0:17:19a cruet in the form of an aeroplane,
0:17:19 > 0:17:21a globe,
0:17:21 > 0:17:25a set of Victorian baker's scales, and a model car.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28That leaves him with just £40 to spend today.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32James had far less fruitful day,
0:17:32 > 0:17:37spending only £12 on a gladioli vase.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41His pockets are pretty full, with £188 left to spend.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47The fellows are still in King's Lynn this morning
0:17:47 > 0:17:49and heading to James's first shop.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- Lovely.- Will that do for you, sir?
0:17:53 > 0:17:55- Lovely, thank you.- Splendid.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57I'll be around, sir, don't worry.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00HE LAUGHS
0:18:02 > 0:18:05- Ah, thank you. Thank you. - Pleasure, sir.
0:18:05 > 0:18:10- Are you going shopping this morning, sir?- Yes, shopping.- Marvellous.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14- Just freshen you up a little, sir. - There we are.- Marvellous.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- Have a good day, sir.- Same to you, Ross.- See you later.- Bye.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19How sweet.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22James still has plenty of money burning a hole in his pocket
0:18:22 > 0:18:25and with only one item to show for yesterday,
0:18:25 > 0:18:28he'd best not dilly-dally today.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30- Hello.- Good morning.- Hello. James.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34- Hello, James. I'm Maggie. - Hello, Maggie. Nice to see you.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- Nice to meet you.- Now, how long have you had this lovely place for?
0:18:37 > 0:18:41- Two-and-a-half years.- Two-and-a-half years? Good. Going strong.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44OK, well, I'll just have a good old rootle around.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48Chop chop. You're lagging behind here.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Crikey, he's an acquired taste!
0:18:55 > 0:18:59Maggie, can I look in this cabinet down here?
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Lovely piece of wood.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04"The Beaver Talbot tie press."
0:19:04 > 0:19:08- I'd like the nameplate. - Would that have been...
0:19:10 > 0:19:11..something, yeah,
0:19:11 > 0:19:14that a gentleman would have simply
0:19:14 > 0:19:18put in his wardrobe with the tie in?
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Yeah, I think so. He would have left it overnight,
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- rather like putting trousers in a trouser-press.- Yeah.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28Or maybe at rest, when he was reading his newspaper.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30You just recline in your armchair,
0:19:30 > 0:19:33there we are, doing two jobs at once.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35SHE LAUGHS
0:19:35 > 0:19:39A man should look his best at all times.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43With James's tie now nice and straight, and the tie-presser
0:19:43 > 0:19:47a definite contender, are there any other items on his radar?
0:19:47 > 0:19:50It's a stand, it's a tazza.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53The rather nice thing is, it has a little
0:19:53 > 0:19:56pictorial thing here,
0:19:56 > 0:19:59and I think it's probably Windsor Castle.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01This is rather fun so, a paper knife,
0:20:01 > 0:20:05wholly appropriate it should have a terminal here, the Penny Black.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07This was the mighty stamp.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10This is the stamp that made the world slightly smaller,
0:20:10 > 0:20:14introduced in the early part of the 1840s.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Incredibly successful.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20This was an invention that introduced a new item.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24- It's like the internet revolution, isn't it?- Yeah, absolutely.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26An amazing take-up.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30Maggie is off to chat with colleague Ian to see what price they'll
0:20:30 > 0:20:34be able to do on the tazza and the paper knife.
0:20:35 > 0:20:40We could do...maybe 40 would probably be the best, I think.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44So that's sort of looking at about £20 each, isn't it?
0:20:44 > 0:20:50What about if I bought the strange beaver fellow, what could that be?
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- Four.- That could be four, could it?
0:20:53 > 0:20:56How about the whole lot for 40?
0:20:58 > 0:21:01- Erm, yeah, OK. - That's very kind of you.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Thank you very much indeed, Maggie.
0:21:03 > 0:21:08So that's a deal done for £40 for all three items.
0:21:08 > 0:21:09£18 for the tazza,
0:21:09 > 0:21:12£18 for the paper knife
0:21:12 > 0:21:15and the tie press thrown in for £4.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- £40. Very kind of you.- Lovely.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Is that you done in here now, James?
0:21:22 > 0:21:26- Maggie, I did notice one more thing. Can I show you?- Yes, certainly.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28It's sort of winking at me.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32My eye suddenly alighted on this rather magnificent pheasant.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34- Ah, yes.- The mighty cock bird.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37And I just wondered, I've had a look at the price tag,
0:21:37 > 0:21:40and I was sort of tempted...
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Could it be bought for 45?
0:21:45 > 0:21:49The ticket price is a very specific £92.52p,
0:21:49 > 0:21:52so Maggie's off for another tete-a-tete with Ian,
0:21:52 > 0:21:56armed with James's £45 offer.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58What's the result, Maggie?
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- What is the result?- He says yes.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04He says yes, the man from Del Monte says yes!
0:22:04 > 0:22:09- 45, let's not fiddle around.- Thank you.- Thank you very much indeed.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12I've had a lovely morning with you
0:22:12 > 0:22:14and I am now offski.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22So that last-minute purchase of the pheasant brings James's total spend
0:22:22 > 0:22:26to £97, with one more shop to go.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32King's Lynn is steeped in maritime tradition.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36For centuries, it was one of the country's most vital river ports,
0:22:36 > 0:22:39providing easy access for trade with mainland Europe,
0:22:39 > 0:22:42so it's perhaps not surprising that two of the town's
0:22:42 > 0:22:45most celebrated sons are a pair of sailors
0:22:45 > 0:22:48who made their mark on the world stage.
0:22:48 > 0:22:54George Vancouver and Samuel Gurney Cresswell were both born in the town
0:22:54 > 0:22:59and were both instrumental in some crucial geographic discoveries.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Charlie's come to meet Doreen Leventhall
0:23:02 > 0:23:05from the King's Lynn Preservation Trust to find out more.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09Doreen, what a splendid sea breeze there is today.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11I've been to King's Lynn before,
0:23:11 > 0:23:15but I've never really realised its historical importance.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18It was a very important port,
0:23:18 > 0:23:23and from earliest times, grew up on the side of the River Great Ouse
0:23:23 > 0:23:26and by the early 13th century,
0:23:26 > 0:23:30it was one of the four most important ports in England.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37The port was the hub for trade with Europe for centuries, and buildings
0:23:37 > 0:23:41like the old custom house were right at the heart of the business.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Not far from here is a tribute
0:23:45 > 0:23:50to our first King's Lynn maritime hero, George Vancouver.
0:23:50 > 0:23:56Born in the town in 1757, he joined the Navy at just 13.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58At the end of the 18th century, there was
0:23:58 > 0:24:02a race to discover a faster trade route between Europe and Asia.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Vancouver was sent to explore.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07- Here he is.- Here he is.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Captain George Vancouver.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11He made his career in the Navy
0:24:11 > 0:24:16and in 1791, he was given the commission of charting
0:24:16 > 0:24:18the west coast of America.
0:24:18 > 0:24:23They made this massive journey from California right up to Alaska.
0:24:23 > 0:24:28All the little inlets, they went in on small boats, charting them
0:24:28 > 0:24:31and keeping the records, and his maps were
0:24:31 > 0:24:36so good that they were still used until relatively recent times.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39After the longest surveying expedition in history,
0:24:39 > 0:24:41which lasted four-and-a-half years,
0:24:41 > 0:24:46Vancouver didn't find the elusive Northwest Passage but he made all
0:24:46 > 0:24:51sorts of other discoveries, and even had a Canadian city named after him.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54When he got back here, he didn't make old bones, did he?
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- You're right about the old bones. He was only 39.- Gosh.
0:24:57 > 0:25:03He died of illness, but this seems to be quite common with sailors.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05I think it was just a very tough life at sea.
0:25:07 > 0:25:12That didn't stop another of King's Lynn's finest taking up the mantle.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Samuel Gurney Cresswell was born in 1827
0:25:15 > 0:25:19and was to become another King's Lynn naval legend.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23Cresswell was born into a banking family
0:25:23 > 0:25:26in these opulent surroundings.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29So this is a bank house. It's really rather splendid.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32And this was where Samuel Gurney Cresswell was born.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36We know from his mother's letters that he was always a restless child,
0:25:36 > 0:25:39so it was suggested by a family friend, who was in the Navy,
0:25:39 > 0:25:42that perhaps a naval life would be better for young Samuel.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Young Cresswell loved Navy life,
0:25:46 > 0:25:51ao much so, that he signed up for an Arctic voyage in 1849,
0:25:51 > 0:25:55hoping to discover the Northwest Passage that had eluded
0:25:55 > 0:25:58fellow King's Lynn sailor, Vancouver.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Cresswell was on a ship that was captained by a man called McClure
0:26:01 > 0:26:05and he was absolutely determined to be the first man
0:26:05 > 0:26:07- to find the Northwest Passage.- Yeah.
0:26:07 > 0:26:12So he pressed on in when the other ship that was with them
0:26:12 > 0:26:17actually turned back because they thought it was too dangerous.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21And that's how we know that they made it into the Arctic
0:26:21 > 0:26:24but, of course, they got stuck in the ice.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Cresswell's ship, HMS Investigator,
0:26:27 > 0:26:31was trapped in the ice for over two years.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35The crew, faced with starvation, were eventually rescued.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39Cresswell, who was still in good health, volunteered to lead
0:26:39 > 0:26:42a group overland for 300 miles to meet a rescue ship.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47This journey was the first documented evidence
0:26:47 > 0:26:49of the Northwest Passage.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Cresswell arrived back in England as living proof of the discovery
0:26:52 > 0:26:54of this long-sought-after route.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58All the people of King's Lynn turned out and gave him a hero's welcome.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02- The church bells were rung...- Oh, my goodness.- ..and flags were waved.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- He'd never have got that if he'd been a banker, would he?- No.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10And so he was home and he was safe.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14King's Lynn may not be a thriving port today, but, thanks to
0:27:14 > 0:27:18its two naval heroes, it holds a special place in maritime history.
0:27:20 > 0:27:25James's final shop is in the seaside town of Hunstanton.
0:27:25 > 0:27:31Le Strange Old Barns is located only 200 yards from the beach
0:27:31 > 0:27:34and while we do like to be beside the seaside,
0:27:34 > 0:27:37James still has some shopping to do.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39- James Braxton.- Hello, James.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41- Patrick.- Hello. Nice to meet you, Patrick.- You too.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47James still has just over £100 to play with.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55On such a sunny day, his thoughts are turning to the outdoors
0:27:55 > 0:27:58and this funny-looking little old chap.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01- Well, he's a humorous old fellow, isn't he?- He's a little planter.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05He's a planter, is he? Very smart.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07A smart gnome's hat, hasn't he?
0:28:07 > 0:28:12He's rather funny. What sort of price is he, Patrick?
0:28:12 > 0:28:14£35 on him.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17- 35?- You could make an offer.
0:28:17 > 0:28:22The only thing that is steering me towards the gnome is to hear
0:28:22 > 0:28:26Charlie... my competitor's reaction to it.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Patrick, would a tenner buy that?
0:28:30 > 0:28:34- Yes, it will.- You had me worried there for a moment.- £10.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38I thought you'd held your breath and you were going to faint on me.
0:28:38 > 0:28:42- I'm sure he'll go to a good home, definitely.- I think he's rather fun.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45- Antiques should have a little humour.- Of course.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49Will there be a profit in humour, though? That remains to be seen.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52Let's go to your till.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55So, for £10 down from a ticket price of £35,
0:28:55 > 0:28:59the gnome is off to auction, and James's shopping is complete.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01Thank you.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04Thank you.
0:29:04 > 0:29:09Charlie's final shop is in the Norfolk village of Snettisham.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11The Old Granary is packed to the gunwales,
0:29:11 > 0:29:16but with only £40 left, Charlie will have to be resourceful.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18No better fellow for resource.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22- A-ha, are you Sarah, by any chance? - I am.
0:29:22 > 0:29:26- Marvellous. I'm Charlie. - Hello, Charlie.- Lovely to meet you.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29- Am I allowed to do that? - You are.- We've only just met!
0:29:29 > 0:29:32- Can I have a look round... - Of course you can.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35- ..and I'll scream for you if I see the bid of my dreams?- OK, thank you.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47Ooh, look at this. Columbia grafonola number 202 portable.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50What amazing condition! I don't think anybody's ever used it.
0:29:50 > 0:29:56Price, £85. Problem. I don't have £85.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Not even half that, in fact.
0:29:58 > 0:30:03- Sarah...- Hello.- ..I need you. - You need me?- I need you.- Wonderful.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06- This is fab. Does it play?- It does.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09RECORD PLAYS
0:30:11 > 0:30:15I think I'm falling in love. Hang on.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17- Would you dance?- I would.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24Ah, this is romance! Dim the lights!
0:30:24 > 0:30:27You old charmer, Charlie.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30- I could give you a few lessons, if you like?- That's fab.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32It's portable, so you could take it on a picnic.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34I'll be quite frank with you,
0:30:34 > 0:30:36- I don't think I'm going to be able to buy this...- Right.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39- ..because I went shopping yesterday.- Could we run to 50?
0:30:39 > 0:30:42I haven't got 50. I have not got £50.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46- I can tell you, I've got 40 quid. - Do you have rubber gloves?
0:30:46 > 0:30:49- Do I have rubber gloves?- Yes. - No, why? Odd question.
0:30:49 > 0:30:53You could do some washing up downstairs, I'm sure, earn £40.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55- I'll tell you what, I've got a better idea.- All right.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58- Would you like a ride in my car? - I'd love a ride in your car.
0:30:58 > 0:30:59If I gave you a ride in my car,
0:30:59 > 0:31:02would I still have to do the washing up?
0:31:02 > 0:31:04OK, we'll forget the washing up.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Forget the washing up and have a ride in my car.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08Oh, I'm not quite sure this is within the rules
0:31:08 > 0:31:10but Sarah seems quite happy.
0:31:10 > 0:31:15- So where are we going? - Right, we're going...
0:31:15 > 0:31:17..to Paradise Island.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19Good work, Charlie.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23The grafonola is yours for £40 and a spin round the block
0:31:23 > 0:31:27and you even got out of doing those dishes, you old rogue!
0:31:27 > 0:31:29So, with the shopping complete,
0:31:29 > 0:31:33Charlie Ross has spent all of his £200 picking up six lots -
0:31:33 > 0:31:36the set of scales, two very different model cars,
0:31:36 > 0:31:39a globe,
0:31:39 > 0:31:43a chromium-plated cruet and the grafonola.
0:31:43 > 0:31:50James Braxton was a lot more frugal, only spending £107 on his six lots -
0:31:50 > 0:31:54the gladioli vase, the tie-press, the brass tazza,
0:31:54 > 0:31:58the silver paper knife, the stuffed pheasant
0:31:58 > 0:31:59and, topping it all off,
0:31:59 > 0:32:03the gnome guarding naturally over Mother Earth.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05But what do they make of each other's items?
0:32:05 > 0:32:09I'm most worried about the Avery scales,
0:32:09 > 0:32:12the globe and the Testarossa.
0:32:12 > 0:32:17Well, amongst James's sea of mediocrity, he bought a tie-press.
0:32:17 > 0:32:21Well, Bingo and I are the only two people in the world that wear ties
0:32:21 > 0:32:24so although it was £4, it's probably worth 5.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29Charlie and James are travelling to the auction in the Norfolk
0:32:29 > 0:32:34town of Fakenham, and thoughts are turning to the competition.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36Bingo, are you pleased with your purchases?
0:32:36 > 0:32:39Cos I was quite amused by some of them, to be perfectly honest.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41I was delighted with them.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44I thought, when in Norfolk, what do you think about Norfolk?
0:32:44 > 0:32:48You think about pheasants, you think about wildlife. OK, mine's stuffed.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50I will declare my hand.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53I am not confident, and looking at your purchases
0:32:53 > 0:32:56and the fact that you've only spent half your money
0:32:56 > 0:32:59and mine, I'm expecting defeat.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02Oh, yeah, that's the spirit, Charlie.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05Today's auction is taking place at the local racecourse.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Look at this.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10- What time is the first race?- The first race will be 2.30, won't it?
0:33:10 > 0:33:13- Or 1.30.- I'll put on a tenner.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15I stand a better chance with that than my lots, I think.
0:33:15 > 0:33:21But does auctioneer David James think there's an odds-on favourite?
0:33:21 > 0:33:25Well, I think the teams have chosen an interesting range of items.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27Not so sure about the garden gnome,
0:33:27 > 0:33:31but it does look a bit aged, so it might sit well in somebody's garden.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35I'm not sure that stuffed pheasants in Norfolk will be a prize-winner,
0:33:35 > 0:33:37cos we've all got them in the garden all the time,
0:33:37 > 0:33:40and the rest, well, we'll just have to see how it goes.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44We will indeed. Time for the auction.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48First up, James's gladioli vase.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52And I have been given bids to start at £15.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55- You're into a profit.- 15, I have.
0:33:55 > 0:33:5720 in the room. 20, I have.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00In the room at 20. Five, do I hear?
0:34:00 > 0:34:04- That's not bad.- Are we all sure? At £20, it is.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07First, second, last time at £20.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09A promising start there.
0:34:09 > 0:34:14Next up, Charlie's baker's scales.
0:34:14 > 0:34:18- My bid starts at £20 only. - Well, £20.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21That's a big price.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23£30 bid. 40 do I hear?
0:34:23 > 0:34:27At £30, at 30, £40, I have.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29- Oh.- 50 will do.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31£40 I am bid. At 40.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34Go on, go 50. At 40.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36At £40, are we done with them?
0:34:36 > 0:34:40- At £40.- A working profit.- Yeah.
0:34:40 > 0:34:46Another profit. So, it's still a close contest.
0:34:46 > 0:34:47Well done, well done.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49- Very nip and tuck, isn't it?- It is.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51It's very tight.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54James's tie-press is next to go.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Tenner then, come on. Start me at a tenner.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01- Surely a tenner.- £8 I am bid.
0:35:01 > 0:35:02Ten, do I hear? Eight, I have.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05Ten do I hear for the tie-press?
0:35:05 > 0:35:07- At £8 only.- Eight?- Eight only.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09A working profit, James.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12At eight I'll sell. £10 on the net, saved by the net.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15At £10 on the net. Internet bid at 10.
0:35:15 > 0:35:1912 anywhere? At £10, first, second, last time at 10...
0:35:20 > 0:35:23A small profit for the tie-press.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27Up now is the grafonola record player.
0:35:27 > 0:35:28This is my coup de grace.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30- This is the grafonola?- Yeah.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33I have all my eggs in this basket.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37I'm delighted to say that the bidding starts at £70.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40Five, do I hear? 70 I have.
0:35:40 > 0:35:41Five do I hear?
0:35:41 > 0:35:43£70 bid. 75 bid.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45£80. £80 bid.
0:35:45 > 0:35:50At £80 and selling, are we all sure? At £80...
0:35:50 > 0:35:53First, second, last time at 80...
0:35:53 > 0:35:55That was marvellous.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58That puts Charlie in the lead.
0:35:58 > 0:36:02Wow! Can James's Victorian tazza help him catch up?
0:36:02 > 0:36:06- I think your tazza's got a bit of money there. Honestly.- Do you?
0:36:06 > 0:36:09- Quite collectable, these are. - They are.- They are.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13Not very valuable, but quite collectable.
0:36:13 > 0:36:14Not saleable.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17- Start me 10. - Sounds a little low.
0:36:17 > 0:36:1910, I have. £10 I'm bid. 12 I'll take.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21£10 I'm bid. £10 I'm bid.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23£12 on the net. 15 do I hear?
0:36:23 > 0:36:26- £15 against the bar.- On the net.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29- 15 bid. 18 do I hear?- Keep going.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33Are we all done with it? At £15 it is, then.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35First, second, last time at 15.
0:36:35 > 0:36:39- Oh, dear.- Sold to the butler. - Oh, dear.- Roger the butler.
0:36:39 > 0:36:43First loss of the day for James, which puts him further behind.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48Charlie's tinplate car is next to go.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50You see, he's an expert in his field
0:36:50 > 0:36:53and he's put 20 to 30 on my toy.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55And how much did you pay for it?
0:36:55 > 0:36:57- It cost 50.- Excellent.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59£10 I'm bid.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01£12, madam. £12 to the lady.
0:37:01 > 0:37:0415 against the bar. £16 to the lady.
0:37:04 > 0:37:0718 at the bar. 18 at the bar.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10- Come on. - £20 on the net. 22 on the net.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12- 25 on the internet. - Ah, the internet.
0:37:12 > 0:37:1530, do I hear? 25 I'm bid.
0:37:15 > 0:37:1828 do I hear? £28 to the lady.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20- Well done.- Come on.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23Still making a substantial loss, of course.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25£28. Are we all done at £28?
0:37:25 > 0:37:28- 227.- Thank you, madam.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31That helps James catch up a bit.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Things are a lot tighter now.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36How will James's gnome fair?
0:37:36 > 0:37:42I think he's going to be your surprise thumping profit of the day.
0:37:42 > 0:37:47I'm rather hoping anything north of 30 and I'll be delighted.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49Who's in at 10? 10 at the back. 10.
0:37:49 > 0:37:5212 against the bar. 15 to the lady.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54- Good Lord!- £18 standing at the back.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56£20 there seated.
0:37:56 > 0:37:5922 seated to the lady. 25 bid here.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03£28 to the lady. £30 bid.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06At 32, bid reluctantly.
0:38:06 > 0:38:0835 bid. My God.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10LAUGHTER
0:38:10 > 0:38:14- There's no accounting for taste, sir, is there?- Or a lack of it.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16- 35 bid.- Quirky and ugly.
0:38:16 > 0:38:2038. £40. At £40 standing here.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22All done with it at 40.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24- Well played, sir.- Well done.
0:38:24 > 0:38:25Sensational.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28- Marvellous. What an auctioneer. - Yes, marvellous.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32Well, that's a turn-up for the books and puts James narrowly in the lead.
0:38:33 > 0:38:37Your in-depth knowledge of antiques is second to none.
0:38:37 > 0:38:38It's marvellous, isn't it?
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Now for Charlie's cruet.
0:38:41 > 0:38:4310 I have, thank you. £10 bid.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45- 12 do I hear?- It's a bit tight.
0:38:45 > 0:38:4816 on the net. 18 do we hear?
0:38:48 > 0:38:5018 on the net. £18 on the net.
0:38:50 > 0:38:5220 do we hear? £20 in the room.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55- £20 in the room.- You're in profit.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57- No, it's what it cost.- At 20.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00First, second, last time at £20...
0:39:00 > 0:39:02- Oh, dear.- Oh, dear. What's going on?
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Crumbs!
0:39:04 > 0:39:05Oh, dear.
0:39:05 > 0:39:09After commission, it's a small loss, I'm afraid.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12- I'm going down the pan. - No, you're not.- You're pulling away.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14- Am I pulling away?- Two lots each.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16You've got a paper knife, which is going to
0:39:16 > 0:39:19make you a thumping great profit.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22Will the paper knife do as well as they think?
0:39:22 > 0:39:27We'll make a start at £30 to start. 40 do I hear? £40 bid.
0:39:27 > 0:39:3050 do I hear? £40 bid. 50 do I hear?
0:39:30 > 0:39:33At £40, seated in the room.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36- 45 bid, fresh bid.- 45!- Well done.
0:39:36 > 0:39:41At £45. 50 do I hear? At £45.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43Standing there at 45.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45All done with it? £45.
0:39:45 > 0:39:49- I'm up against a master here. - £45, you see.- Yeah.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52Just steady work, steady work.
0:39:52 > 0:39:58That's another good bit of business for James. Charlie's globe now.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00He had high hopes for this one.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02So start me off at £30, then.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06- Oh, dear, is that all?- Start me off at 20. Come on. 15 I'm bid.
0:40:06 > 0:40:11- £20 standing at the back.- 20. - This is... Come on.
0:40:11 > 0:40:1325 standing here. £30 at the back.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15It's bouncing around.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18This needs to be £60.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20£40 at the bar.
0:40:20 > 0:40:21At 40. 45 standing.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23We need a bit more, don't we?
0:40:23 > 0:40:26- It's coming on, coming on.- At £50.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30- 55 standing. At 55. - Almost a profit.- At £55.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33In the room and standing at £55, are we all done?
0:40:33 > 0:40:36For the second and last time at £55...
0:40:36 > 0:40:40Another small profit in the old bag.
0:40:40 > 0:40:44We're down to one item each and it's still all to play for.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47It's basically all boiling down to a pheasant versus a Ferrari.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50- A stuffed pheasant.- Yeah.
0:40:50 > 0:40:54James's pheasant is last up for him.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56Start me 10, then, come on.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00£10 I have. £10 bid. 15 bid.
0:41:00 > 0:41:01£18 I have.
0:41:01 > 0:41:06- James...- Well done.- £20 I'm bid. £20 I'm bid. At the bar, £25 on the net.
0:41:06 > 0:41:10- Well done.- Oh, yes! - At £25 for the pheasant...
0:41:10 > 0:41:13Coming home to Norfolk, 467.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16How stuffed is that?
0:41:16 > 0:41:21If the Ferrari can come up trumps for Charlie, he will win the day.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24- I'm very nervous. - Start me at 10, then.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26It's got to be worth more than that.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28£10 to start. £10 to start.
0:41:28 > 0:41:32- £10 to start. Where are we?- Don't they like Ferraris here?- 10 I have.
0:41:32 > 0:41:3412 do we here? £12 internet bid.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37- 15 do we hear?- Oh, on the internet.
0:41:37 > 0:41:41£12 only on the net. At £12 only, are we... 15 standing at the back.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44- 15 at the back.- One more, sir.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46We take our time in Norfolk.
0:41:46 > 0:41:51- 15 at the back. 18.- You need a Ferrari.- 15 at the back. 18.
0:41:51 > 0:41:5416 on the net. £18. Got there.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58- 18 bid.- Oh!- 20 do we hear?
0:41:58 > 0:42:0218 bid in the room. At £18 and selling. Are we done with it at 18?
0:42:02 > 0:42:07It's a close one, but let's see who's coming out on top.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12Charlie started this first leg with £200.
0:42:12 > 0:42:16After auction costs, he's made a small loss of £2.38,
0:42:16 > 0:42:21leaving him with £197.62 to spend next time.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26James has emerged victorious today.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28He also started off with £200.
0:42:28 > 0:42:32After auction costs, he's made a profit of £20.10,
0:42:32 > 0:42:38meaning he takes £220.10 on to the next leg.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41Pleasure to be thrashed by you, sir.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44As always! Where to, sir?
0:42:44 > 0:42:48- I think the station.- The station, sir.- The station, thank you.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57Cheerio, chaps.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59Next time on Antiques Road Trip,
0:42:59 > 0:43:03Charlie's doing all he can to balance his budget...
0:43:03 > 0:43:06I feel like the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08..and James is on electrifying form.
0:43:08 > 0:43:12I'll be buzzy, I'll be singing arias. Ahhh!
