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 > 0:00:09..with £200 each, a classic car
0:00:09 > 0:00:12and a goal to scour for antiques.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14- Joy.- Hello!
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 and valiant losers.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Sorry, sorry, sorry.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26So, will it be the high road to glory
0:00:26 > 0:00:28or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:28 > 0:00:29The handbrake's on.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31This is Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Today sees auctioneers James Braxton
0:00:40 > 0:00:43and Charlie Ross midway through their road trip.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47- We've got the sun on our backs, we are going to do well today.- Yeah.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48I mean, look at this.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52- English countryside...- Sheep! - Oh, sheep.- Sheep!- Sheep.- Sheep!
0:00:52 > 0:00:54He's rather excitable.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Charlie is as charming as ever.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00- I'd quite like to go away with that. - Yes.- On holiday.- Yeah.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03- They're lovely. - Would you come with me?- Of course.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06And James is a patriotic soul.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Well, I am very pleased with my Queen's shield.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11I think I can be a loyal citizen.
0:01:11 > 0:01:16They're navigating their road trip in a 1961 Ford Zephyr,
0:01:16 > 0:01:19a car made before seatbelts were legally required.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- I think I put it into reverse. - JAMES LAUGHS
0:01:24 > 0:01:25Whoopsi-daisy!
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Our Road Trip pals started off with £200 each.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33After their second auction, Charlie is lagging somewhere behind James
0:01:33 > 0:01:38with a kitty of £148.76 for the day ahead.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44James is in pole position after the terrific result
0:01:44 > 0:01:45with the two Doulton vases.
0:01:45 > 0:01:51He has a stuffed wallet of £433.50 to spend today.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Their trip began in the Lincolnshire town of Boston
0:01:58 > 0:02:00and meanders through Norfolk and Cambridgeshire,
0:02:00 > 0:02:02up to Leicestershire, before heading south
0:02:02 > 0:02:05and finishing in the Surrey town of Cobham.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Today's leg
0:02:07 > 0:02:09sets off from Shenton, in Leicestershire,
0:02:09 > 0:02:11and will head to auction in the village
0:02:11 > 0:02:13of Bourne End, Buckinghamshire.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20I thought I'd wear a black tie in memory of my road trip,
0:02:20 > 0:02:23which seems to have come to a rather premature end.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Don't you worry, it'll be all right.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30Cheer up, Charlie, you can still catch up.
0:02:30 > 0:02:31Both chaps are sharing a shop
0:02:31 > 0:02:36in the very pretty Whitemoors Antiques and Crafts Centre.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37Here we are.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41I think you need to loosen off that tie at some point.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43The black tie, the tie of mourning?
0:02:43 > 0:02:45- Tie of mourning, I think that can go.- Early defeat.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- I think that can go. - Fair enough, but...
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- You have been here before, haven't you?- I have been here before.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54- I bought a drum.- You bought a drum? - Yes.- Did well with it?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56# Banging on the big base drum
0:02:56 > 0:02:58# What a picture What a picture
0:02:58 > 0:03:01# Um, dilly-um, dum, dum, dum, dum
0:03:01 > 0:03:03# Stick it in your family album. #
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Right. Good.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07And it made a lot. Carry on. Shall I go this way?
0:03:07 > 0:03:09I'll go this way.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Blimey, what did Charlie have for breakfast?
0:03:14 > 0:03:17There are 40 different dealers here.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21- Aha! You look like the boss to me. - I am the boss.- Are you?- Yeah.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25- I'm Charlie.- Lovely to meet you, Charlie. Portia.- Portia!
0:03:25 > 0:03:27- That's a very racy name.- Very racy.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Right. You've got work to do, Charlie.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Oh, vintage luggage.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Didn't they make luggage well?
0:03:39 > 0:03:40Look at that.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42An Edwardian piece of luggage.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45It's got its original brass studs on the bottom.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49There's quite a demand for vintage luggage these days.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Look at the stitching.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54And it's got really rather a lovely patination.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58And what I like is when they've got original labels on them.
0:03:58 > 0:03:59It's £50.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05I could see that making £40 or £50 at auction.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Portia!
0:04:08 > 0:04:11The popularity of travel in the 1930s heralded
0:04:11 > 0:04:14the use of the rather attractive gentleman's valise.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19- Hello, my darling. - Hi, you all right?
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Yeah, I've seen something I quite like.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- I love old luggage. - Beautiful, isn't it?
0:04:24 > 0:04:26- Oh, no, it's awful. - SHE LAUGHS
0:04:26 > 0:04:30- No, it's gorgeous!- No, it is lovely. What chance have we got?
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Have we got a ch...? I mean, I'll tell you, I'll be perfectly honest.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37I think if it goes to auction, it will be estimated at £30 to £50.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40I think it might make 40 or 50 quid. It is a good thing.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- I'd quite like to go away with that. - Yes.- On holiday.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- Yeah, they're lovely.- Would you come with me?- Of course, Charles.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49A bit forward, that. Just a minute.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- I think I'll have to ring the tenant and see.- Could you do that?
0:04:52 > 0:04:54I will do that for you.
0:04:54 > 0:04:55- Ring that tenant.- One second.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- Tell him I'm a really nice chap. - I will do.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59Figures crossed, Charlie.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Portia's got some news.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03- Charles, I've just spoken to the tenant.- What have you done?
0:05:03 > 0:05:07- Have you done better than 45? - She'd be happy to take 27.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- 27?!- Yes.
0:05:10 > 0:05:11What an odd figure.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14I think that's well worth the money. I'm not even going to try
0:05:14 > 0:05:20and beat her down to 25. I'm going to say £27 is really generous.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24The charismatic Charlie has bought his first item,
0:05:24 > 0:05:27the gentleman's valise for £27.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29What about James?
0:05:29 > 0:05:31With over £400 to spend,
0:05:31 > 0:05:35is he going to go all out or exercise some prudence?
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Mind your head.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- Good morning, James.- Hello, hello. - Welcome to Whitemoors.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44- Hello, nice to meet you. And your name is?- Robert.- Robert.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48What wonders can you spot in here then, James?
0:05:49 > 0:05:53- So this is your emporium, is it? - It is, James, yes.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55So where did you gather all your goodies from?
0:05:55 > 0:06:00- From auctions, from houses, from people bringing stuff in.- Yeah.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- All over the place. - This sort of leaps out at me here.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- That is a very '50s look. - Isn't that great?
0:06:06 > 0:06:08The retro thing is in at the moment.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11I like the figurine. She is a very shapely lady, isn't she?
0:06:11 > 0:06:14And it has that nice sort of pull,
0:06:14 > 0:06:17that eggshell finish to the glaze, doesn't it? Where...?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- So, who's made this?- It is West German.- Made in West Germany.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22And the pattern is called Jamaica.
0:06:22 > 0:06:27- That's right.- Just what we need, something exotic and warm, isn't it?
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- On a cold day. - THEY LAUGH
0:06:30 > 0:06:33I definitely need it. That would... She would be a lovely tonic.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36She'd lose your cold in a hurry, wouldn't she?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Crumbs!
0:06:39 > 0:06:43West German pottery is a brand-new field of collecting
0:06:43 > 0:06:46and is proving to be very popular at auction.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50And very practical, you know. A couple of single stems.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Get your gladiolas in there, your camellias, whatever.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- With or without, it still stands good.- It stands good, doesn't it?
0:06:56 > 0:06:59I would definitely have that in my home.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Now, what could you do on that, Rob?
0:07:01 > 0:07:03The absolute best to you, James...
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- Don't...- ..because I want you to win.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Don't...don't put yourself down.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- I won't. £12.- £12.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13It is in good order. It is bright, it has been looked after.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17It has been slightly treasured. I think that is very handsome.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19What about eight on that, Rob?
0:07:19 > 0:07:23- Oh...- You know how these auctioneers work.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24Oh, here we go.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28Yeah, you know, they all start in ten, five and everything.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31And, you know, if you're going to have a chance of it,
0:07:31 > 0:07:33a little profit, you need...
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- Ten.- Ten?- To give me a little bit.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Ten. I am liking your start. Rob, put it there.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41- Thank you very much indeed. - You're welcome.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43A quick and efficient purchase from James.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47£10 for the 1950s West German vase.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Charlie has journeyed east to the historic village of Kidworth.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Charlie is some way behind James in the profit stakes
0:07:59 > 0:08:02so needs to uncover a hidden gem somewhere.
0:08:03 > 0:08:08This large, family-owned antiques centre has over 60 dealers.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17That's...early Victorian. It's...
0:08:19 > 0:08:23Or even William IV rosewood over-mantle mirror.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Now, you can see that the mirror is not in great condition.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28But frankly, when you look like me,
0:08:28 > 0:08:31it's quite good having a mirror like that, to be perfectly honest.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32He's hard on himself.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36It's 150-plus years old.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39160, 170 years old years old.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42And I could get away with putting a new mirror in there.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45And it's £25.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47If that could be really cheap...
0:08:48 > 0:08:53..I would buy it because it's a genuine antique.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Let's go and see what we can do.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59Time to track down the lady in charge, the lovely Sally.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03- Turn right. It used to be a mirror. - Used to be a mirror.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Well, it looks like it. Can you see?
0:09:05 > 0:09:06I have to say that the owner...
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Can you hold that end?
0:09:08 > 0:09:10- I can.- Well done.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12The owner does admit...
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- Cos it says antique tarnished mirror.- Very tarnished.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17- It certainly is. Look at us in there.- Absolutely.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19You can't really see us.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- The fairest of them all. - CHARLIE LAUGHS
0:09:21 > 0:09:24But it is a rosewood frame
0:09:24 > 0:09:26and it's about 1840, 1850,
0:09:26 > 0:09:28so it's old.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32And I like old things. It's knackered here and there.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Um, it's £25.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- And I want to give a tenner for it. - SHE GASPS
0:09:38 > 0:09:41- HE IMITATES HER GASP - I can feel your heart
0:09:41 > 0:09:43- miss a beat there. - It's missing lots of beats.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- What do you think? Who is HH? It has got HH on it.- HH...
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- It's not Horrible Henry, is it? - No, it's not Horrible Henry.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52- Is it Happy Harry? - It's Happy Henrietta.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Happy Henrietta!
0:09:54 > 0:09:56If you told her that Charlie wants to give her a tenner for her
0:09:56 > 0:10:00- mirror, would she still be Happy Henrietta?- Maybe not.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- But we could try.- What we can do, we can make a phone call.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- Would you mind?- We can do that. - That's sweet of you.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Tell her Charlie's desperate, would you?
0:10:08 > 0:10:10And a bit of a chancer.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- Are you smiling? - I am smiling a little bit.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17I've spoken to the dealer,
0:10:17 > 0:10:21she says that she is quite happy to come down to £15 for you.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- I can't ask for more than that, can I, really?- No, not really.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- I was being very cheeky at ten. Put it there.- OK.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- May I give you one of...those? - Thank you.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33That's really kind of you.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Charlie's second purchase is the 19th-century mirror for £15.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45James, meanwhile, has travelled 24 miles to the city of Leicester.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50James is sitting pretty with a large stack of cash.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52So far, he has spent a tenner.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Come on, James, get spending.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- Hello. James.- Hello, James. My name is Mark.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Hello, Mark. I'm after the elusive bargain.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05The elusive bargain. Well, let's see if we can find you something.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07- I am getting the lay of the land. - Yeah.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12What's that you've found?
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Quite a crude tribal stool, this.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Not the finest carve,
0:11:20 > 0:11:24but it's carved from the solid, from the trunk.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26And they're useful.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30They make great occasional tables.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34They're just the right height for sitting beside a sofa or something.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37And they have a look, don't they?
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Would it've been a solid trunk of wood here?
0:11:40 > 0:11:41And somebody has freed it.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43As Michelangelo used to say,
0:11:43 > 0:11:48you release the figure from the object, be it marble, be it wood.
0:11:48 > 0:11:53And you chip away and you release it from its natural bindings.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55If you say so.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57What about the price?
0:11:58 > 0:12:01I noticed this when I walked in, Mark.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03- Yes.- Not the finest one, but...
0:12:04 > 0:12:08It's not the most detailed carving, but crudities can be sometimes...
0:12:08 > 0:12:12- interesting.- Yeah, naive charm, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13So it's carved out of the solid.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15I think it would've been one piece, definitely.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19- You can't see any joins or anything. - And does this come from...?
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Where do you think it comes from?
0:12:21 > 0:12:26Probably...African origin, somewhere around there.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28What sort of money do you have on that, Mark?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Um, I've got 55 on that one.
0:12:31 > 0:12:3255...
0:12:34 > 0:12:38- I'm going to carry on looking, Mark. - Yeah, certainly.- Keep looking.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Scratching away.
0:12:40 > 0:12:45After a good scratch around, James is ready to make a deal.
0:12:45 > 0:12:50- Mark, the stool there with the antelope...- Yeah.- Is it...
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Would it be too cheeky to say 25 on that?
0:12:54 > 0:12:56- Could you make it 30?- 30?
0:12:56 > 0:13:00- Mm-hm.- You've gone and got yourself a deal, Mark.- OK, lovely.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01Thank you, I'll take that.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04James is attracted to the exotic today.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08The tribal stool for £30 is his second item.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Tribal art has always...
0:13:10 > 0:13:12The Continent, especially the French,
0:13:12 > 0:13:14have always loved tribal art.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18This is a rather fun thing. Anyway, I'm pleased with it.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21And I'm off with it. Thank you, bye-bye.
0:13:21 > 0:13:22He doesn't hang about much.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Charlie has travelled south to the town of Northampton.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32It's the home of British shoemaking
0:13:32 > 0:13:36and even the local football team have the nickname The Cobblers.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41And it's here, at Northampton Town Football Club,
0:13:41 > 0:13:44that Charlie is heading to find out more about a pioneer
0:13:44 > 0:13:47not just in sport but also in British history.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Charlie is meeting with author Phil Vasili.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54- Charlie, hiya.- Hello, Phil.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56- How are you? - Very well indeed, thank you.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Welcome to Northampton Football Club.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03Walter Tull was one of the first black professional footballers
0:14:03 > 0:14:07who played right here, at Northampton Town Football Club.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10He was also the first black officer to lead troops into battle
0:14:10 > 0:14:12in the First World War.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16Phil is the biographer of Walter's sensational story.
0:14:18 > 0:14:19This is very appropriate,
0:14:19 > 0:14:23we are in the engine room of the Northampton Town FC.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26We can see the pitch, we can see the stands.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28And where better to start?
0:14:28 > 0:14:30We've got this wonderful archive here.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Yeah, it's a great place to start
0:14:32 > 0:14:35because Walter was very happy here, by all accounts.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41Walter was born in Folkestone, at the end of the 19th century.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44His father was a carpenter from Barbados and worked
0:14:44 > 0:14:47as a ship's joiner until he settled in England in 1876
0:14:47 > 0:14:49and married a local girl.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Tragically, by the age of nine,
0:14:52 > 0:14:56Walter had lost both his parents to ill health and was sent,
0:14:56 > 0:14:59along with his brother, to an orphanage and Bethnal Green.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- When he went to the orphanage, they had a football team.- Right.
0:15:04 > 0:15:09And they played in a... They played competitive games.
0:15:09 > 0:15:10And somebody spotted him
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- round about this time as being particularly talented.- Yeah.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Well, you could see in the photo, Charlie, that he's in the middle
0:15:16 > 0:15:18- and he's got the ball at his feet. - He has.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Which usually signifies that he has got respect
0:15:21 > 0:15:23and he's one of the better players.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30In 1908, Walter was signed by amateur club Clapton FC.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Within the year, he turned professional
0:15:32 > 0:15:34when he was signed by Tottenham Hotspur.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38It was here that Walter experienced a horrible display
0:15:38 > 0:15:40of spectator racism.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Spurs, for him, wasn't a great source of happiness, was it?
0:15:44 > 0:15:47- It was wonderful that Spurs signed him.- Yes.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50And, you know, to be signed as a black player
0:15:50 > 0:15:51is unusual at the time.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55And Spurs have to be commended for that.
0:15:55 > 0:16:00However, Walter got a lot of abuse when he was playing.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02And in one particular match,
0:16:02 > 0:16:06in September of 1909 at Bristol,
0:16:06 > 0:16:10it was so bad that one of the newspapers headlined
0:16:10 > 0:16:12the abuse that Walter got.
0:16:15 > 0:16:16And in the report,
0:16:16 > 0:16:20the journalist said that Walter was a model for all white men who
0:16:20 > 0:16:23playful football because of the way he withstood the abuse.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25I think that was the strength of Walter, that he
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- did his talking as a footballer, with his feet.- Yeah.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35A year later, Northampton Town
0:16:35 > 0:16:38was thrilled to snap up the talented Walter.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42But soon, the dark clouds of war loomed, in 1914.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Walter was one of the first to enlist in the British Army.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50It wasn't until November 1915
0:16:50 > 0:16:52that Walter went to France,
0:16:52 > 0:16:54his battalion went to France.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- Hm.- And they saw action almost immediately
0:16:57 > 0:17:01in around the Festubert-Givenchy region.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Walter's cool-headed leadership ensured that he rose through
0:17:05 > 0:17:06the ranks quickly.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12So he saw action -
0:17:12 > 0:17:16and I think I'm right in saying - was he recommended for an MC?
0:17:16 > 0:17:20As far as we know, Walter was the first black officer to lead
0:17:20 > 0:17:23white troops into battle in the Army.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25And he was commended for his bravery
0:17:25 > 0:17:29and commended for bringing back his party without injury.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31That's when he was recommended for the Military Cross,
0:17:31 > 0:17:33which he never actually received.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36He embodied a legal contradiction.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39As a black soldier, he shouldn't have been an officer
0:17:39 > 0:17:41according to the manual of military law.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45So if they gave him his Military Cross, it was almost like
0:17:45 > 0:17:49they were admitting that they'd created
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- this illegal precedent.- Yeah.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55- They were giving a rubber stamp to breaking the law, really.- Yeah.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Sadly, tragedy struck.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02On 25 March 1918, Second Lieutenant Tull
0:18:02 > 0:18:06was killed in action at the German spring offensive on the Somme.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08He was 29 years old.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13He was certainly a very remarkable black Britton
0:18:13 > 0:18:15who achieved a great deal in his short life.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18I mean, we are here at a club that's...
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- The road that leads into the stadium is called Walter Tull Way.- Yeah.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25We've got the memorial stone detailing his achievements.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29I think it has been absolutely fascinating -
0:18:29 > 0:18:32an extraordinary tale of a remarkable man.
0:18:32 > 0:18:33Thank you, Charlie.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37The odds were stacked against Walter, but he succeeded
0:18:37 > 0:18:41as a star on the football field and a hero on the battlefield.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47It's the end of a long day, so time for a bit of a rest. Nighty-night.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Cor, it's absolutely tipping it down this morning.
0:18:58 > 0:19:03This weather, very good for the leather upper, I would say.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05You need a leather upper.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08A good brogue is always the best option.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Anyway, here is a rundown of their shopping so far.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17Charlie has snapped up two items - the leather valise
0:19:17 > 0:19:22and the 19th-century mirror, giving him a meagre £106.76 for today.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24I love you!
0:19:24 > 0:19:25- Good morning, James.- Hello.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29James also bought two items - the 1960s West German vase
0:19:29 > 0:19:31and the tribal stool.
0:19:31 > 0:19:36He's swimming in money with £393.50 for the day ahead.
0:19:40 > 0:19:45James is in Northampton to have a go at spending some of his money.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Although he's rich in profits, he's only spent £40 so far.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Oh, nice hat!
0:19:51 > 0:19:56- Hello. James.- Hello, I'm Sonia. - Hello, Sonia. Very nice to meet you.
0:19:56 > 0:20:01You're a very nice little haven amongst a... Foul out there today.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04- Well, I hope we've got something for you.- I'm sure you will.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Maybe Sonia will persuade James
0:20:09 > 0:20:11to part with some cash.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15There's some nice things amongst here. I love this!
0:20:17 > 0:20:19This is very theatrical, isn't it?
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Great for a sort of baronial hall, isn't it?
0:20:23 > 0:20:25It is.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Baron Braxton has a certain ring to it.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29Really good.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Love that.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Right, like that.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35So, the shield...
0:20:35 > 0:20:36It's on the list.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39The shield is priced up at £40
0:20:39 > 0:20:42and could have been made for the Queen's Silver Jubilee.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49I like this. A modest woodcut.
0:20:49 > 0:20:54But what I like about this is it's very much in its contemporary frame.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57It has a good look. Does it have a date on it?
0:20:57 > 0:21:01It's evocative of a period, isn't it? 1920s.
0:21:01 > 0:21:02The Untidy Corner.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06It's got a personal inscription on it. And it is a woodblock print.
0:21:06 > 0:21:11Very much used early illustrations for newspapers
0:21:11 > 0:21:15and book illustrations. Artists really loved it.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18I like that. It's got style.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Another one on the list.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25The woodblock print has a ticket price of £10.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Now, to find Sonia to talk money.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30These are my two items, Sonia.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34I love this shield. Isn't that fun?
0:21:34 > 0:21:35So that's the shield.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37- Do you know much about that? - Not really.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40It was something to do with Andy's family.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44He bought it because he liked it and it was his family's initials.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Andy is the owner of the shield.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50- I see, I see. - I think it was his father.- I see.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52It also happens to be the Queen's.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53True.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55- THEY LAUGH - True.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59- So I like that one.- OK. - And I like the woodblock print.- Ah.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02You don't have to do me a special price on the woodblock print.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06- I'm very happy to pay your ticket price.- OK.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- But could I get a price on the shield?- What have we got on that?
0:22:09 > 0:22:13I think... What have we got? We've got £40.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19- What price did you have in mind?- Oh! - See if we can meet in the middle.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Oh, if you're going to meet in the middle, 20 quid.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23SHE LAUGHS
0:22:23 > 0:22:25- SHE SIGHS - 25?
0:22:25 > 0:22:2825, you've got yourself a deal, Sonia.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30- Thank you very much indeed.- Lovely.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32I am very pleased with my Queen's shield.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34I think I can be a loyal citizen.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38- You'll have to find a sword now to go with it.- I will!
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Not spending big, is he?
0:22:40 > 0:22:44The decorative shield for £25 and the woodblock print for ten.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Charlie is also in Northampton.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57This looks interesting, Charlie.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03Our man is having a look around The Old Bakehouse Antiques.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10- Hello there.- Hello.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11- Steve, is it?- Yeah.- Charlie.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14- Pleased to meet you. - Nice to see you.- And you.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16- What a wonderful establishment you've got.- Thank you very much.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19- Did you ever see Doctor Who out the front?- Oh, he is in there.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21- He is in the record room. - CHARLIE LAUGHS
0:23:21 > 0:23:23That's a wonderful thing! Where did you get that from?
0:23:23 > 0:23:26- He's popping in all the time. - CHARLIE LAUGHS
0:23:29 > 0:23:31There are over 60 dealers here.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Blimey, he's like a dog let off the lead.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Look at that old projector.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42With its original box.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45"Specto film projector.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48"Wood box and accessories. Bulb not working."
0:23:48 > 0:23:53Well, you can get a bulb these days for something like that.
0:23:53 > 0:23:54In the mid-1930s,
0:23:54 > 0:23:58the British company Specto were renowned for their cine projectors.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00During the Second World War,
0:24:00 > 0:24:03the British government used the projectors to review intelligence
0:24:03 > 0:24:07captured by British aircraft flying over occupied Europe.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10£110.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13HE SIGHS
0:24:13 > 0:24:15I'm not going to spend £110 on that.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17But I would buy it at a price.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20Good to hear, Charlie.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Oh, what is that you've found?
0:24:26 > 0:24:27Joy!
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Look at that.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33A vintage bamboo child's push chair.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36That is fantastic!
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Original wheels.
0:24:38 > 0:24:43It's got two little wheels at the front here, just to stabilise it.
0:24:43 > 0:24:48The bamboo's in good condition. It is a really unusual object.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51And I'm always looking for something quirky and unusual.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55It's got age, it's got quality in a certain sort of way,
0:24:55 > 0:24:57it's got originality.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59It is £68.
0:25:03 > 0:25:04I don't think that's untoward.
0:25:04 > 0:25:10That is as charming and historically interesting as that projector.
0:25:10 > 0:25:15Projector, seat, what have I got? £106.76.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- HE CHUCKLES - I hope Steve is a nice bloke.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24Let's leave Charlie to ruminate over the lightness of his purse.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26We'll catch up with him later.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29James is
0:25:29 > 0:25:3215 miles away in the village of Harrington.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39He's visiting Harrington Aviation Museum.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43During the Second World War, the Office of Strategic Services,
0:25:43 > 0:25:47the precursor to the CIA, sent battalions of the US Army
0:25:47 > 0:25:52to build this airfield and set up clandestine warfare operations.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57James is meeting with the museum's chairman, Clive Bassett.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02- Hello. Must be Clive. - Hi and welcome, James.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Welcome to RAF Harrington.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08Top-secret missions would fly deep into the heart of occupied
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Europe, dropping supplies to the pockets of partisan fighters
0:26:11 > 0:26:14who would become known as the Resistance.
0:26:14 > 0:26:19The codename for the covert missions was Operation Carpetbagger.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21This codename, what did Carpetbaggers do?
0:26:21 > 0:26:23The Carpetbaggers, really,
0:26:23 > 0:26:26were the American Air Arm of the Office of Strategic Services,
0:26:26 > 0:26:29the American side of things, and their missions were to take
0:26:29 > 0:26:32supplies and agents over to occupied Europe.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34And the Americans initially were using British aircraft.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38And there came a point in time where they felt they were getting
0:26:38 > 0:26:40slightly compromised in some of their own missions.
0:26:40 > 0:26:41They wanted to run them themselves.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44So they then decided to set up their own airfield, which is
0:26:44 > 0:26:46- why we are here at Harrington.- Ah!
0:26:49 > 0:26:53In the months of July 1944, four squadrons at Harrington
0:26:53 > 0:26:57supplied resistance forces with the 69 agents
0:26:57 > 0:26:59and over 5,000 containers filled
0:26:59 > 0:27:03with items such as weaponry and food.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05The dangerous ones, the really dangerous missions,
0:27:05 > 0:27:08even more so, were the blind drops where an agent would
0:27:08 > 0:27:10just parachute into occupied Europe, it could be anywhere,
0:27:10 > 0:27:14without any local knowledge. They may have a contact to make.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16But that was very dangerous.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24The daredevil agents would fly on moonlit nights
0:27:24 > 0:27:27and would land with some rather unusual supplies.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29The idea was an agent would parachute down
0:27:29 > 0:27:32in a special container made for it.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35And when he got on the ground, he'd just open the container,
0:27:35 > 0:27:40fire it up. A little bike - 98cc engine, centrifugal clutch -
0:27:40 > 0:27:42push it along, hop on and off you go.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44The problem is, I think people suddenly realised
0:27:44 > 0:27:46that you couldn't really have a motorbike running around
0:27:46 > 0:27:48the early hours of the morning
0:27:48 > 0:27:51- in the moonlight period with some strange person on it.- Yeah, right.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Especially a strange bike, yeah.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Very much so. So they sort of abandoned the idea.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58But the bikes continued to be made.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01And they made over 3,500 during World War II,
0:28:01 > 0:28:03different formats of them.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07This is the actual size of the bike used.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10- It is a fabulous piece of design, isn't it?- It is, really clever.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Obviously, the saddle raises up, the handlebars raise up.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17You can get on this within a minute or so of landing on the ground.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23The most ambitious covert project that took place here was
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Operation Jedburgh.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27A creation of the British and Americans,
0:28:27 > 0:28:32the clandestine units were designed to operate behind enemy lines.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35It ran from 1944 until the end of the war.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Recruited and trained in total secrecy,
0:28:39 > 0:28:41the units would be made up
0:28:41 > 0:28:44of three men from Britain, France and America.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Their job was to coordinate resistance groups
0:28:46 > 0:28:49and help supply, arm and train them.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53Brit Harry Verlander was one of the agents.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56Harry Verlander was a Jedburgh wireless operator.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59And these are all his various artefacts
0:28:59 > 0:29:02and bits of memorabilia from his wartime service.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06It's quite a unique exhibit, I think, of one person
0:29:06 > 0:29:09and his different things from his service initially with
0:29:09 > 0:29:13the Home Guard, the King's Own Royal Rifles...
0:29:13 > 0:29:16- Trophies of war.- Very much so, yes.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20Harry dodged many dangers,
0:29:20 > 0:29:24but one story demonstrated his particular style of ingenuity.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28The story related to you, it was the time
0:29:28 > 0:29:30when he was going to be taken by some Germans.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33He knew this trick, apparently - if you pee or urinate at the bottom
0:29:33 > 0:29:37of a tree, it will stop dogs from finding you or chasing you.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39So he peed at the bottom of the tree, climbed up it
0:29:39 > 0:29:41and the Germans missed him.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45- Really?- So he was... Yeah. Clearly, it worked cos he wasn't captured.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48- Perfect.- A very brave man. As they all were.
0:29:48 > 0:29:53It's been absolutely fascinating, Clive. And I am amazed...
0:29:53 > 0:29:57Just shows you what training do. I'm amazed how successful they were.
0:29:57 > 0:30:02Nearly 7,000 men were involved in the covert operations
0:30:02 > 0:30:04that took place here.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06Without question, the work done by everyone
0:30:06 > 0:30:11involved in resistance groups helped ensure victory for the Allies.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15I go away a wiser and humbler man.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17- It was a pleasure to meet you, James.- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27Talking of brave and courageous men,
0:30:27 > 0:30:31let's see how Charlie is getting on in The Old Bakehouse Antiques.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Aha!
0:30:34 > 0:30:36Churchill, bulldog spirit.
0:30:37 > 0:30:43That's up as Beswick model there, Toby jug of Churchill.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47And it's got one of his great speeches on the scroll here.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50"We shall fight on the beaches, the landing grounds,
0:30:50 > 0:30:53"in the fields, in the streets and on the hills.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56"We shall never surrender."
0:30:56 > 0:30:571940.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00They've paraphrased what he said there a little bit
0:31:00 > 0:31:02in order to get it onto their scroll.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07Beswick Pottery began in the 19th century and produced
0:31:07 > 0:31:10a lot of commemorative and advertising wares like this one.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13The price tag on the jug is £60.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16Still quite collectible.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19It'll probably come off the boil a bit. I don't think it's...
0:31:19 > 0:31:23unrealistically priced. Not a bad likeness.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27You could not mistake that for Churchill.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30There he is, the great man.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32£60.
0:31:32 > 0:31:33I think that is...
0:31:35 > 0:31:40..more or less worth the money. I've seen a projector.
0:31:40 > 0:31:46I've seen that, I think, fabulous child's bamboo push chair.
0:31:46 > 0:31:51The sum total of these objects is comfortably over £200.
0:31:51 > 0:31:57I've got £106.76 in total.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00There is no need to fib to Steve.
0:32:00 > 0:32:01You just never know in life.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08Time to strike a deal. Where is Steve?
0:32:09 > 0:32:12Well, I think you've got a fantastic mix here.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15I've got three things I've completely fallen in love with.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18- There is a projector upstairs with its original box.- Yeah.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22There is a real talking point, which is that bamboo push chair.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24The other thing, completely differently,
0:32:24 > 0:32:27is Mr Bulldog Spirit here, Winston Churchill,
0:32:27 > 0:32:30simply because I need a bit of that bulldog spirit
0:32:30 > 0:32:32to beat old Bingo.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34And some extra cash.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36I'm not going to beat around the bush, I mean,
0:32:36 > 0:32:37I like those three things.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40I don't suppose I'd be able to buy those three things,
0:32:40 > 0:32:44but I'll tell you what I've got. I've got £106.76.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48I can't add to it because that's all I've got.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51- I mean, you're adding up to 230-odd quid. I mean, that's...- Yeah.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54- It depends on what these things have cost.- Yeah.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57If I can't buy the three things...
0:32:57 > 0:32:59- No, I think we can... - Do you think you could?
0:32:59 > 0:33:01The projector's sat around for a while, so I'd like to get it gone.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03- Has it?- You know, cos you're only taking dust.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05You take the dust with you, don't you?
0:33:05 > 0:33:08I'll take the dust, I'll clean it, I'll do your washing up...
0:33:08 > 0:33:11That's good. Oh, yeah, if you're doing the washing up as well...
0:33:11 > 0:33:14Would you take all I've got for those three? Are you sure?
0:33:14 > 0:33:15I don't want you...
0:33:15 > 0:33:18When I walk out of that door, I don't want you to think,
0:33:18 > 0:33:19"Mr Ross, honestly!"
0:33:19 > 0:33:22No, I'll just phone the police. "I've just been robbed."
0:33:22 > 0:33:25- You are the best dealer I've ever met in my life!- Thanks.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28- Shake me by the hand. You sure?- Oh, yeah...
0:33:28 > 0:33:30Yeah, let me have it, please.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Please. And the change.
0:33:32 > 0:33:33Well done, Charlie.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37He has blown the last of his cash on three items -
0:33:37 > 0:33:39the cine projector for £40,
0:33:39 > 0:33:40the push chair for 30
0:33:40 > 0:33:45and Churchill jug for £36.76.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50That plucky display of buying
0:33:50 > 0:33:53and big discounts wraps up our shopping trip.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Charlie has bought a total of five items -
0:33:55 > 0:33:58the 1930s leather valise,
0:33:58 > 0:34:00the antique mirror,
0:34:00 > 0:34:02the cine projector,
0:34:02 > 0:34:06the Edwardian push chair and the Beswick Churchill jug.
0:34:06 > 0:34:11His purse is empty. £148.76 gone!
0:34:13 > 0:34:18James has four items - the 1960s West German vase,
0:34:18 > 0:34:20the African tribal stool,
0:34:20 > 0:34:23the decorative shield
0:34:23 > 0:34:26and the 1920s woodblock print.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29He is reluctant to let go of his profits
0:34:29 > 0:34:33and has been very thrifty, spending a total of just £75.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37But what do they think of one another's buys?
0:34:40 > 0:34:45You give him over £400 and he spends 75 on, frankly...
0:34:45 > 0:34:47- WHISPERS:- a load of nonsense!
0:34:47 > 0:34:50- IMPERSONATES CHURCHILL: - 'I shall fight him on the beaches.'
0:34:50 > 0:34:53A ghastly vase for £10.
0:34:53 > 0:34:54The over mantle mirror.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56OK, the plate has gone.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59There is very little silvering.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02So you've got a sort of calcified piece of glass there.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05I think all of those things might make a profit simply
0:35:05 > 0:35:07because he's been so stingy!
0:35:07 > 0:35:11Would I swap my lots for his? No.
0:35:11 > 0:35:12OK.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18Charlie and James are travelling south to Bourne End,
0:35:18 > 0:35:20in Buckinghamshire.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24- MIMICS CHURCHILL:- 'We shall fight in the Zephyr,
0:35:24 > 0:35:26- 'we'll fight in the salerooms.' - Yeah.
0:35:26 > 0:35:30'We shall fight in the shops!
0:35:30 > 0:35:32- 'We shall never surrender.'- Yes.
0:35:32 > 0:35:36- 'This shall be our finest hour.' - CHARLIE LAUGHS
0:35:36 > 0:35:39Was that Churchill? Ha!
0:35:39 > 0:35:42Bourne End Auctions is where we're headed.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44We're here. Bourne End Auction Rooms.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46This, remember this, Bingo.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49- Because this is when it turned round.- Really?
0:35:49 > 0:35:53This is where your frugal behaviour comes back to bite you.
0:35:53 > 0:35:54Ah-ha-ha!
0:35:56 > 0:36:00Taking to the rostrum today is auctioneer Simon Brown.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04What does he think of the gaggle of goodies from James and Charlie?
0:36:05 > 0:36:09The 1920s block print, I think you might struggle with that.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13The 1950s projector, I think, will be the winner today.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16I can see that making 80 to 120.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18Sounds promising.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21All quiet then, the auction is about to begin.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26First to go is Charlie with his leather valise.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29Start me at £30, please, for this lot.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32- 20 then to start. 20, anybody interested?- Ten.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35- 20?- Ten.- 20? Nobody interested?
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Ten to start. Ten I'm bid. Got you at ten.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39- You got a bidder. - I recognise that lady.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41Never mind the lady, Charlie.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45- Are we all done at ten on my left? - JAMES LAUGHS
0:36:45 > 0:36:49That buyer has got a great deal there.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52- Estimate - 40 to 60.- Excellent!
0:36:52 > 0:36:55James's West German vase is next.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58£10. Ten I'm bid. Yours at ten.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00- Bingo, you are already in at ten. - 12.- 14.
0:37:00 > 0:37:0416. 18. 20. 20. 22.
0:37:04 > 0:37:0525.
0:37:05 > 0:37:0725. 22 on my right.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09Selling at 22. Are we all done at 22?
0:37:09 > 0:37:12Got you at 22 on my right now.
0:37:12 > 0:37:1322.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15There we are.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18All smiles for James as he starts off with a profit.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24It is Charlie's rosewood mirror next.
0:37:24 > 0:37:29Start me at £30, please, for this lot. 30. Anybody interested at 30?
0:37:29 > 0:37:32Nobody interested at 30? 20 then start.
0:37:32 > 0:37:3520, anybody interested? Nobody interested? No?
0:37:35 > 0:37:37I am moving on.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39- Lot 36 is... - JAMES LAUGHS
0:37:39 > 0:37:41What do you mean "moving on"?
0:37:41 > 0:37:43He's moving on.
0:37:43 > 0:37:48Uh-oh. This no sale means it will be added into your next leg's auction.
0:37:48 > 0:37:53- Moving on.- Do you think he might not sell any of my items?
0:37:53 > 0:37:54Surely not.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59It's James's tribal stool next.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02Who will start me at 20, please, for this lot? 20 I'm bid.
0:38:02 > 0:38:0622. 25. 27. 30. 32.
0:38:06 > 0:38:1035. 37. 40. 42. 45. 47.
0:38:10 > 0:38:1450. 55. 60. 65. 60 in the corner.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17Selling at 60. Yours at 60. Are we all done at 60?
0:38:17 > 0:38:20On my right. Selling at 60 now.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22Marvellous!
0:38:22 > 0:38:25Absolutely. Thank the good people of Bourne.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27Well done, James, another great outfit.
0:38:29 > 0:38:30James is in the lead.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34Can Charlie ramp up his profits with the cine projector?
0:38:34 > 0:38:36Who will start me at £30, please, for this?
0:38:36 > 0:38:39- 30 I'm bid. Yours at 30. - What?- Are we all done at 30?
0:38:39 > 0:38:43Maiden bid. Selling at 30 on my left. Yours at 30.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46With William, are we all done at £30 now?
0:38:46 > 0:38:49Marvellous, that's only a small loss there.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51At least you got a bid on that.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53Yeah, but not a profit.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56Maybe blowing the whole budget was a bit hasty.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59Don't dwell on the figures, Charlie.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02I've got to because I've got to go shopping again, Bingo.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05And at this rate, I won't even be able to buy a West German vase.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08- Oh, you spent...? - I spent all my money!
0:39:08 > 0:39:10- JAMES LAUGHS - So...
0:39:10 > 0:39:11Oops, Charlie!
0:39:13 > 0:39:16James's turn now with the big decorative shield.
0:39:16 > 0:39:20Who will start me at £50, please, for this lot? 40 then to start.
0:39:20 > 0:39:2240 anybody interested? 40 I'm bid.
0:39:22 > 0:39:27With Martin at 40. Yours at 40. 42. 45. 45 with Martin.
0:39:27 > 0:39:32Selling at 45. Are we all done at 45? Got you at 45 on my left now.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34That'll do me.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36JAMES LAUGHS
0:39:38 > 0:39:40So far, James is enjoying profits on every item.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42In round terms,
0:39:42 > 0:39:47- it's the biggest ever thrashing... - Really, why?- ..in Road Trip history.
0:39:47 > 0:39:51Profit, loss. Profit, not even a bid.
0:39:51 > 0:39:52Profit, loss.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55Are we setting a trend here now?
0:39:55 > 0:39:57For your sake, Charlie, let's hope not.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02It's your Edwardian push chair next.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06Who will start me at £50, please, for this lot? Interesting lot at 50.
0:40:06 > 0:40:10Anybody interested? 40 then to start. 40, nobody interested?
0:40:10 > 0:40:1440 I'm bid. Selling at 40. Yours at 40. 42.
0:40:14 > 0:40:1545. 42 in front.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18Selling at 42. Are we all done at 42?
0:40:18 > 0:40:21On my left now, got you at 42.
0:40:21 > 0:40:22Well done.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27A profit, hurrah! But sadly, not enough to catch up with James.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31- Well done. - Keep the hanky in reserve.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Well, that goes into the kitty.
0:40:33 > 0:40:38It's James's last item of the day - a woodblock print.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41Who will start me at £20, please, for this lot?
0:40:41 > 0:40:4420, anybody interested? At 20.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47Ten then to start. £10. Ten I'm bid. Selling at ten.
0:40:47 > 0:40:48- Ten?- Are we all done?
0:40:48 > 0:40:53Maiden bid, got you at ten. Selling at £10 just in front now.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56First loss of the day, though, for you, James.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58And you are still way ahead of Charlie.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02- MIMICS CHURCHILL:- 'We shall fight them on the beaches.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05'We shall fight them on their soft furnishings.'
0:41:06 > 0:41:09Enough of the Churchill impressions!
0:41:09 > 0:41:12It's all or nothing with Charlie's last lot of the day -
0:41:12 > 0:41:14the Churchill jug.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17Wouldn't it be fun if he got to my character jug and said,
0:41:17 > 0:41:20"I have four commission bids."
0:41:20 > 0:41:24- Yeah. - "And I'm going to start at 320."
0:41:24 > 0:41:25It would be fun.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28Unbelievable, but fun.
0:41:28 > 0:41:29It would be.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31- MIMICS CHURCHILL:- 'My last chance...
0:41:31 > 0:41:32'for profit.'
0:41:32 > 0:41:35100, I'm bid. 110. 120.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37130. 140. 150.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40160. 170. 180. 190.
0:41:40 > 0:41:44180 standing. Selling at 180. Are we all done at 180?
0:41:44 > 0:41:45Yours at 180.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50Winston's has come good.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53- 'We did fight them on the beaches.' - We did.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58Unbelievable! Saved by Winston at the 11th hour, Charlie.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00Excellent stuff.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04- That is a surprise. - COCKILY:- Well, I don't think so...
0:42:04 > 0:42:07JAMES LAUGHS
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Has Charlie done enough to get back into the game?
0:42:12 > 0:42:16James started the third leg with £433.50.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18His frugality made him a profit
0:42:18 > 0:42:24of £37.34 after auction house costs.
0:42:24 > 0:42:29James has a total of £470.84 for the next leg.
0:42:32 > 0:42:37Charlie began this leg with £148.76.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Astounding success with the Churchill jug means that
