0:00:02 > 0:00:04It's the nation's favourite antique experts...

0:00:04 > 0:00:06- This is beautiful! - That's the way to do this.

0:00:06 > 0:00:09..with £200 each, a classic car and a goal -

0:00:09 > 0:00:12to scour for antiques.

0:00:12 > 0:00:13Joy! Hello!

0:00:13 > 0:00:16The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction.

0:00:16 > 0:00:17But it is no mean feat.

0:00:19 > 0:00:23There'll be worthy winners and valiant losers.

0:00:23 > 0:00:28So, will it be the high road to glory or the slow road to disaster?

0:00:28 > 0:00:29The handbrake's on!

0:00:29 > 0:00:31This is Antiques Road Trip.

0:00:33 > 0:00:35Yeah!

0:00:37 > 0:00:40Welcome to day two with Margie Cooper and Charles Hansen.

0:00:42 > 0:00:43Look at me.

0:00:43 > 0:00:44You are classy.

0:00:47 > 0:00:51The racy two-seater is a 1959 Elva Courier believed to be

0:00:51 > 0:00:54the only one of its kind on British roads.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57- We haven't changed gears for the last five minutes.- It's in top gear.

0:00:57 > 0:01:01- Are you in top gear?- Top gear. You are not back-seat driving, are you?

0:01:01 > 0:01:02No, I'm not.

0:01:02 > 0:01:03Sounds like it.

0:01:03 > 0:01:04100.

0:01:04 > 0:01:08The last auction was a rip-roaring success with both experts

0:01:08 > 0:01:10making a profit. But Charles was the big winner.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13- 240.- Anybody else? Wonderful!

0:01:13 > 0:01:17- Thank you very much. Thank you. - Oh, my God!- Thank you.

0:01:17 > 0:01:18This is a new day, Margie.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21The sun's shortly without his hat on.

0:01:21 > 0:01:26Well, let's hope the sun shines on Margie because although our

0:01:26 > 0:01:30experts each started with £200, she has some catching up to do.

0:01:30 > 0:01:35She currently has £266.56 to spend.

0:01:35 > 0:01:41Charles, meanwhile, is in the lead with £396.70.

0:01:42 > 0:01:45I look at you, and you just are glamorous.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47You know, just go Hollywood on me.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50Just spend it, Margie. You know, it's only money.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56These two are on one epic road trip.

0:01:56 > 0:01:59Starting in the Leicestershire town of Melton Mowbray,

0:01:59 > 0:02:03they're weaving their way across six counties before finishing

0:02:03 > 0:02:06their week near where they started, in Leicester.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10This leg starts off in Newark-on-Trent in Nottinghamshire

0:02:10 > 0:02:13and ends with an auction in Lancashire's Bolton.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21The first stop for both our experts is Newark-on-Trent.

0:02:21 > 0:02:25The castle here was a Royalist stronghold during the 17th-century

0:02:25 > 0:02:30Civil War, withstanding three sieges by Cromwell's Parliamentarian rebels.

0:02:33 > 0:02:37The first shop of this trip is a shared experience, so stand by.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40- It is huge.- It is, isn't it?

0:02:40 > 0:02:42It certainly is.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44Good luck!

0:02:44 > 0:02:46Margie, remember, think of England.

0:02:47 > 0:02:49Oh, my word!

0:02:53 > 0:02:55- Sorry.- Careful.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58Just trying to find something that's...a bit quirky, really.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03Hey there!

0:03:03 > 0:03:04Crikey.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07SHE EXHALES LOUDLY

0:03:10 > 0:03:12That is a sweet little chair, that, isn't it?

0:03:13 > 0:03:15Look at that little baby.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18You generally see them in slightly larger...

0:03:18 > 0:03:22in a Victorian drawing room suite, where you'd have a two-seater,

0:03:22 > 0:03:25you'd have the much bigger chairs like that.

0:03:25 > 0:03:28But this is a typical design of the mid-Victorian era.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31And quite usually...

0:03:31 > 0:03:32I think it's in walnut.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36I kind of like that.

0:03:37 > 0:03:42This Victorian nursing chair is priced at £115. Wow.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45That is such a nice little chair. It's perfect.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47HE HUMS

0:03:47 > 0:03:51Oh, Charles is humming. Is that a good sign?

0:03:51 > 0:03:54What I quite like... There's a wonderful,

0:03:54 > 0:03:57rusty old World War I

0:03:57 > 0:04:00German water bottle.

0:04:00 > 0:04:04It has clearly been buried for some time.

0:04:04 > 0:04:08And although we might think today militaria collectors

0:04:08 > 0:04:12need things in tiptop condition, when the object is wounded,

0:04:12 > 0:04:15it is an object which we never forget about

0:04:15 > 0:04:20because of what that bottle would have been part of.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23Priced at ten pounds, is it worth a closer look?

0:04:24 > 0:04:27As Charles seeks out the keys for the cabinet,

0:04:27 > 0:04:29Margie has tracked down dealer Jill.

0:04:29 > 0:04:32That furniture up there, is that your...?

0:04:32 > 0:04:34- Right at the far end? - Right at the far end.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36I've just seen this sweet little chair up there.

0:04:36 > 0:04:40It has got 115 on it. It needs to really topple down.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42What... Where are we?

0:04:42 > 0:04:47- Let's have a start... Let's have a starting point.- Oh, gosh.

0:04:47 > 0:04:51Well, I was thinking when I saw it - 68.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53- 70 and I'll take the...- Oh, go on.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57- OK?- Yeah, thanks a lot.- OK.

0:04:58 > 0:04:59Generous, Jill.

0:04:59 > 0:05:03£55 knocked off the Victorian nursing chair seals the first deal

0:05:03 > 0:05:06of this leg of the trip.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09- Thank you very much. Pop back and see us again.- Yeah!- Good.- Will do.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11- Thank you.- Bye.- Bye-bye.

0:05:12 > 0:05:16Earlier, Charles spotted a First World War German water bottle,

0:05:16 > 0:05:18exhumed, apparently, from the Somme.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20Dealer Wendy is on hand.

0:05:24 > 0:05:25Wow.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28We've even got a bullet hole here.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31So when the World War I German water bottle....

0:05:31 > 0:05:35It is tin, basically, that has nearly severely corroded,

0:05:35 > 0:05:37having been in the ground.

0:05:37 > 0:05:42And to have unearthed this with this story takes my breath away.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44But what is its provenance?

0:05:45 > 0:05:49This bottle is a unique item, but it will only appeal to collectors

0:05:49 > 0:05:51if its origin can be verified.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54Wendy is only holding the keys for another dealer,

0:05:54 > 0:05:57so while Charles heads off to make a phone call...

0:05:57 > 0:05:59Hello, sir.

0:05:59 > 0:06:03..Margie has found a hidden corner of the shop...and Roger.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09- See, you're tucked away, I nearly missed you.- We have so much.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12- All you have to do is say what you are looking for.- Right.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14Well, I was looking for silver bits of jewellery.

0:06:14 > 0:06:17- I'm not looking for badges.- We have got some little bits over there.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19You got any suggestions?

0:06:19 > 0:06:23- There is a lovely little brooch there.- Very stylish, isn't it?

0:06:23 > 0:06:26Very Deco-looking, although it is quite modern.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28- Nine carat gold hallmark? - It is hallmarked.

0:06:28 > 0:06:32But it is such a small mark, I need a really powerful magnifier.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34I always carry this with me.

0:06:34 > 0:06:37Good luck with it. The mark is on the edge.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40I can see 375 and I can see, you know...

0:06:40 > 0:06:43And it says £35.

0:06:43 > 0:06:4530 to you.

0:06:45 > 0:06:49- That's a gift.- And I'm going to shake your hand at £30.- OK.

0:06:49 > 0:06:51Thank you very much. Thank you very much.

0:06:51 > 0:06:55A nice nine carat gold brooch at £30?

0:06:59 > 0:07:02- Thank you once again. - Wish me luck.- Good luck.

0:07:02 > 0:07:05Two items in the first shop for Margie.

0:07:07 > 0:07:11Charles is still to get off the mark. How about that water bottle, Carlos?

0:07:11 > 0:07:15After we see polished medals and we see the finished item,

0:07:15 > 0:07:18but to see objects which of course were left abandoned really

0:07:18 > 0:07:22brings us into a certain time check.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25It's not so much on price, I think you can't buy history,

0:07:25 > 0:07:27but you can with that bottle.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29I'll shake Wendy's hand now. Ten pounds.

0:07:29 > 0:07:34- 'You enjoy it.'- We will enjoy what it represents. Thanks awfully, sir.

0:07:34 > 0:07:35Bye-bye.

0:07:35 > 0:07:39Wow, so he was a teacher and he was on the Somme 20 or

0:07:39 > 0:07:43so years ago as a teacher and it was literally just uncovered

0:07:43 > 0:07:45and was sold to him for a sum of money.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47It was his teaching aid at school,

0:07:47 > 0:07:50when he used to teach our youngsters all about the Great War.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52It's amazing it survived THAT!

0:07:52 > 0:07:55Absolutely. And that is real history, isn't it?

0:07:55 > 0:07:58It can't be proven, but at least it gives SOME provenance.

0:07:58 > 0:08:01I take £20 out. There, give that to you.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04- Thank you. All the best to you. Thanks, Wendy. Bye-bye.- Thank you.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06- Bye-bye.- See you. Bye!

0:08:11 > 0:08:14Margie is taking a break from shopping to head to Laxton,

0:08:14 > 0:08:15in Nottinghamshire.

0:08:17 > 0:08:21She is visiting a centre set up to educate children about the glimmer

0:08:21 > 0:08:25of light that shone during one of the darkest periods in history.

0:08:27 > 0:08:31The guide for the afternoon is centre Chief Executive Phil Lyons.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36- Ah.- Margie, hi.- Hello, Phil. - Welcome.- Thank you.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39Welcome to Beth Shalom, house of peace.

0:08:39 > 0:08:41- Come on in.- Thank you.

0:08:41 > 0:08:46Margie has come to hear how thousands of lives were saved from the Nazis

0:08:46 > 0:08:51by the children's transport known as Kindertransport in German.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54So, tell me the story of Kindertransport.

0:08:54 > 0:08:59Well, the story has a very, very complex background to it.

0:08:59 > 0:09:04It starts in the mid-'30s in Germany when Hitler came to power.

0:09:04 > 0:09:09And part of his programme was to remove, as best he could,

0:09:09 > 0:09:11the Jews from the German population.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13Simple as that.

0:09:14 > 0:09:19In the mid-'30s, anti-Semitism was on the rise in Europe.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22Jews were persecuted and their businesses destroyed.

0:09:22 > 0:09:25Synagogues were burned to the ground, shops,

0:09:25 > 0:09:29homes were trashed, were ruined.

0:09:29 > 0:09:3530,000 German Jewish men were arrested, sent to the camps.

0:09:35 > 0:09:39And in a sense, the State had engineered all of this.

0:09:41 > 0:09:46In 1935, new laws were announced by the Nazi party that excluded

0:09:46 > 0:09:48German Jews from citizenship.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51Effectively refugees in their own country,

0:09:51 > 0:09:54it was virtually impossible for them to leave.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57The international community started to take notice.

0:09:58 > 0:10:04This civilised country suddenly descending into this dreadful,

0:10:04 > 0:10:06oppressive regime.

0:10:06 > 0:10:10And here in the UK, the government passed

0:10:10 > 0:10:14through emergency legislation within a fortnight.

0:10:14 > 0:10:17And what it was saying is that they will take children

0:10:17 > 0:10:22refugees between ages of three and 17, mostly at the younger age...

0:10:22 > 0:10:25- Yeah.- ..and they could come into the country

0:10:25 > 0:10:26without travel documents.

0:10:28 > 0:10:32In an unprecedented undertaking, trains were arranged by charities

0:10:32 > 0:10:35and religious groups to save persecuted children.

0:10:35 > 0:10:39For nine months, the Nazis permitted the trains to leave Germany

0:10:39 > 0:10:40and Eastern Europe.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43Many ended up at train stations around Britain,

0:10:43 > 0:10:46just like this reconstruction at the museum.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49While a few were greeted by relatives, the majority of boys

0:10:49 > 0:10:54and girls were welcomed into the arms of foster families.

0:10:54 > 0:10:58When they arrived in the UK, what faced them?

0:10:58 > 0:11:01The vast majority if not all of them had no language,

0:11:01 > 0:11:02didn't speak English.

0:11:02 > 0:11:06We'd like to think that most of them had very quickly some love

0:11:06 > 0:11:10- and support offered to them.- Yes. - That is what you want for children,

0:11:10 > 0:11:11what you'd want for children. I'd want that.

0:11:11 > 0:11:14Through all the travesty, they did survive.

0:11:14 > 0:11:18- That is the most important thing. - Yeah, survival.- They did survive.

0:11:18 > 0:11:23And most of them went on to lead positive family lives of their own.

0:11:25 > 0:11:28One of those survivors was Bernard Grunberg,

0:11:28 > 0:11:32just 15 when his German Jewish parents feared for his safety.

0:11:32 > 0:11:37Now 92, he regularly shares his remarkable story of survival

0:11:37 > 0:11:39with schoolchildren who visit the centre.

0:11:41 > 0:11:46I came over with the second Kindertransport that left Berlin

0:11:46 > 0:11:49in December 1938.

0:11:49 > 0:11:53And that was the last time I ever saw anyone from my family again.

0:11:53 > 0:11:56Although I didn't know what was happening -

0:11:56 > 0:11:57nobody had told me anything.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59I didn't know why I was on that train,

0:11:59 > 0:12:01I didn't know where it was going.

0:12:01 > 0:12:06- I thought it was just a temporary way to be away from home...- Yeah.

0:12:06 > 0:12:13..and, eventually, you'd meet up again and live like a family again.

0:12:13 > 0:12:18After the war, Bernard settled in northern England and married in 1947.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21Like some other Kindertransport children,

0:12:21 > 0:12:24he found an appointment as a farm labourer.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28Do you think Kindertransport saved your life?

0:12:28 > 0:12:32Out of the 10,000 children,

0:12:32 > 0:12:36I don't know how many, but there is very,

0:12:36 > 0:12:42very few that ever saw their parents again, or any relatives again.

0:12:42 > 0:12:48And I am sure they will know that Kindertransport

0:12:48 > 0:12:50- saved their lives...- Yeah.

0:12:50 > 0:12:53..as it did mine. And I will never forget that.

0:12:53 > 0:12:58Approximately 10,000 children who made it to the safety of Britain were

0:12:58 > 0:13:03able to start new lives and, like Bernard, contribute to our society.

0:13:10 > 0:13:14Back in Newark-on-Trent, Charles has made the short walk across town

0:13:14 > 0:13:16to his next shop.

0:13:17 > 0:13:22- Around 50 dealers trade from here. - Sir, Charles Hansen.

0:13:22 > 0:13:25Simon, what a lovely antiques centre you've got here.

0:13:25 > 0:13:28If I said to you I am after the more interesting objects,

0:13:28 > 0:13:31would you direct me anywhere in particular?

0:13:31 > 0:13:33I'd direct you into the backroom, yeah.

0:13:33 > 0:13:36- Right, OK. It is safe back there, isn't it?- Oh, yeah, very safe.

0:13:36 > 0:13:39- Hope so. OK. See you shortly. - OK. Thank you.

0:13:41 > 0:13:46Charles has just under £380 left to spend.

0:13:46 > 0:13:48Says it's nine pounds. It's new.

0:13:48 > 0:13:51But boys and toys... It's quite nice.

0:13:52 > 0:13:55SCRATCHING Oh! Mind the table, Charles.

0:13:58 > 0:14:03One thing I love about history is the sampler.

0:14:03 > 0:14:06And here you've got a wonderful sampler.

0:14:06 > 0:14:11And we marvel at samplers because they were a girl's education.

0:14:11 > 0:14:15Take a bow, Sarah McCune.

0:14:15 > 0:14:20Her sampler, it's on linen and this lovely stitched wool work

0:14:20 > 0:14:21and also needlework.

0:14:21 > 0:14:23I do like it.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26The embroidered crown with letters G and R

0:14:26 > 0:14:31probably date this sampler to around 1770.

0:14:31 > 0:14:36Simon, this sampler here, I can't see a price.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38- 50.- 50, OK.

0:14:40 > 0:14:41You want to do £40?

0:14:43 > 0:14:45I'll meet you in the middle, 45.

0:14:45 > 0:14:48- I'll take it.- OK.- 45.- Sold.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53Despite the few holes, this is a nice item for £45.

0:14:53 > 0:14:55Anything else in here, Charles?

0:14:57 > 0:15:02What will sell well in Bolton? What will sell well in Bolton?

0:15:02 > 0:15:04Well, how about a pair of clogs?

0:15:05 > 0:15:06Aren't they wonderful?

0:15:11 > 0:15:13May I try one on? Do you mind?

0:15:13 > 0:15:16Knock yourself out there, Charles.

0:15:16 > 0:15:19Wow. These are early-19th-century clogs.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23And stepping back in time is fascinating.

0:15:23 > 0:15:27And it's interesting, the clog market really took

0:15:27 > 0:15:33off in the 1840s, in the 1850s, in industrial England, in the North.

0:15:33 > 0:15:35Do they suit me or not? Not really, do they?

0:15:35 > 0:15:38But the reason I like these is because they are so crude.

0:15:38 > 0:15:42What is remarkable is these could've been cobbled together quite

0:15:42 > 0:15:44literally by a blacksmith.

0:15:44 > 0:15:48They almost look like a horse's horseshoe.

0:15:48 > 0:15:51What a find! I'm going to find Simon.

0:15:51 > 0:15:54The clogs are priced at £35.

0:15:54 > 0:15:57Simon, I love these.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59- Do you have clogs at home? - No.- My wife does.

0:15:59 > 0:16:03- Does your wife wear clogs? - No.- OK, OK.

0:16:03 > 0:16:06- What is the best price?- 20 then. - Oh, I say! Really?

0:16:06 > 0:16:09- Yes.- Sold. I'll take them. Thanks, Simon. Thanks a lot.

0:16:09 > 0:16:12Two in the old bag, eh, Charles? But is there still more?

0:16:19 > 0:16:23What we've got is a bronze Buddha, possibly 19th century.

0:16:23 > 0:16:24I just quite like it.

0:16:24 > 0:16:26It's got this dirty appeal of just being well-worn.

0:16:28 > 0:16:31Simon is asking £35 for this little Buddha.

0:16:32 > 0:16:35Simon, I quite like this.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37- I'll do it for 25. - Would you really?- Yeah.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40- Are you happy with that?- Yes. - Done, I'll take it.

0:16:42 > 0:16:44A successful shopping trip, I'd say,

0:16:44 > 0:16:47picking up an 18th-century sampler, a pair of 19th-century clogs

0:16:47 > 0:16:51and a bronze Buddha, all for a total of £90.

0:16:54 > 0:16:57- All the best.- Thank you very much. - Thanks, Simon, all the best to you.

0:16:57 > 0:16:59Bye-bye. See you. Bye.

0:17:03 > 0:17:06And with that, today's shopping comes to a close.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08Nighty-night.

0:17:14 > 0:17:18The next morning, it is a bit of a damp start.

0:17:18 > 0:17:21- You OK?- I'm going under. So I'll say goodbye to you.

0:17:21 > 0:17:23THEY LAUGH

0:17:23 > 0:17:25Hold tight, Marge.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28Yesterday, Charles spent £100

0:17:28 > 0:17:31on a First World War German water bottle,

0:17:31 > 0:17:33a George III sampler, a bronze Buddha,

0:17:33 > 0:17:35and a pair of 19th-century clogs.

0:17:37 > 0:17:41Margie also splashed out £100.50

0:17:41 > 0:17:45but bought just two items - a gold brooch and a Victorian nursing chair.

0:17:47 > 0:17:51This morning, they are heading for Mansfield, in Nottinghamshire.

0:17:51 > 0:17:54This is, I think, a fairly untapped part of North Derbyshire.

0:17:54 > 0:17:58It is quite barren, yet it's fertile.

0:17:58 > 0:18:01- Are you feeling fertile today? - SHE LAUGHS

0:18:01 > 0:18:04- Are you?- Well, if we get in the right shops, I shall feel fertile.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06Thank you very much.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08THEY CHUCKLE

0:18:10 > 0:18:13Surrounded by the vestiges of Sherwood Forest,

0:18:13 > 0:18:17Mansfield was once a lodging place for medieval royalty.

0:18:17 > 0:18:20It is Margie's first shop today.

0:18:20 > 0:18:22Oh, my gosh, what a day.

0:18:24 > 0:18:27That won't fit through the door, love.

0:18:27 > 0:18:28I'll leave that there.

0:18:28 > 0:18:31- There. Luke.- Very nice to meet you.

0:18:31 > 0:18:34- Nice to meet you too. What a horrible day.- I know!

0:18:36 > 0:18:40Perhaps you'll find something to brighten up your day, Margie.

0:18:42 > 0:18:44So are all these old toys here?

0:18:44 > 0:18:46Oh, God, he's cute, isn't he?

0:18:46 > 0:18:50- They are called Mobo, aren't they? - Yeah.- And they had much bigger ones.

0:18:50 > 0:18:53And rocking horses. This is a little tiny one.

0:18:53 > 0:18:56He's dead sweet. He's not in bad nick, is he?

0:18:56 > 0:19:00- Considering his age, he is quite good.- Yeah. What is he, '50s?

0:19:00 > 0:19:04- I'd say so, yeah.- Yeah. Well, he's a thought.

0:19:04 > 0:19:07Well, that is one strong contender.

0:19:07 > 0:19:10Uh... So what have you got in here? Let's look.

0:19:10 > 0:19:16- What's that?- That's a medical fleam. - Yeah.- Used for- blood-letting. Eugh.

0:19:17 > 0:19:20It was once believed blood-letting could treat

0:19:20 > 0:19:24everything from fever to madness in both people and animals.

0:19:24 > 0:19:28The three sharp blades of this fleam are likely to have been used

0:19:28 > 0:19:30on farm livestock. Gruesome.

0:19:30 > 0:19:34Yeah, I quite like things like that.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36- It is a bit unusual.- Yeah.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39Georgian. That is Georgian.

0:19:39 > 0:19:42My, I'm glad I didn't live then. Can you imagine?

0:19:42 > 0:19:46Yeah! It is priced at £45. Cutting-edge, eh?

0:19:46 > 0:19:48Is that the very best on that?

0:19:48 > 0:19:51- I'll do it for 30, and that is my best.- Mm.

0:19:51 > 0:19:54Once somebody says that's the best,

0:19:54 > 0:19:56I feel as though it is a bit rude to say 28.

0:19:56 > 0:19:58THEY LAUGH

0:20:00 > 0:20:02Go on, then.

0:20:02 > 0:20:04Thank you very much.

0:20:04 > 0:20:08Luke has kindly knocked £17 off the asking price,

0:20:08 > 0:20:12and Margie has got something a little different.

0:20:12 > 0:20:16See you! Oh, what awful weather!

0:20:16 > 0:20:18- Oh! - SHE LAUGHS

0:20:18 > 0:20:20Oh, no!

0:20:20 > 0:20:23Mary Poppins never had this trouble.

0:20:23 > 0:20:24Oh, for flipping heck.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26Oh, well, let's do it.

0:20:28 > 0:20:29My brolly's broken!

0:20:29 > 0:20:31SHE LAUGHS

0:20:35 > 0:20:40Charles' next stop is sandwiched between the spectacular Peak District

0:20:40 > 0:20:43and Sherwood Forest, near the village of Creswell.

0:20:43 > 0:20:45Here, straddling the Nottinghamshire-Derbyshire

0:20:45 > 0:20:48border, is Creswell Crags.

0:20:48 > 0:20:51Hannah Boddy is Creswell's exhibition manager.

0:20:51 > 0:20:55She wants to show Charles one of Europe's most important

0:20:55 > 0:20:57archaeological finds.

0:20:57 > 0:20:59This is Creswell Crags Gorge.

0:20:59 > 0:21:03It is absolutely gorgeous, despite the weather today.

0:21:04 > 0:21:06Tell me about this site, this backdrop behind me.

0:21:06 > 0:21:10Well, it is amazing because we have evidence from the Ice Age.

0:21:10 > 0:21:13Creswell was one of the most northerly points that people

0:21:13 > 0:21:16could get to in the whole world during the Ice Age.

0:21:18 > 0:21:2310,000 years ago, the polar ice cap was only a few miles north

0:21:23 > 0:21:26of Creswell and the UK was joined to the rest of Europe.

0:21:26 > 0:21:29As Ice Age hunters travelled north,

0:21:29 > 0:21:34the caves in this gorge offered vital shelter through a crucial period

0:21:34 > 0:21:35of human evolution.

0:21:36 > 0:21:38Wow, Hannah!

0:21:38 > 0:21:41- This is inviting. And very exciting.- Yes.

0:21:41 > 0:21:43- It is, isn't it?- Unbelievable.

0:21:47 > 0:21:48Wow, Hannah.

0:21:51 > 0:21:55Hannah, is there today much evidence of human occupation still

0:21:55 > 0:21:57left within these caves?

0:21:57 > 0:22:02In 2003, some archaeologists found Britain's only Ice Age rock art,

0:22:02 > 0:22:04Britain's oldest artwork, in this cave.

0:22:04 > 0:22:09- Oldest and only rock art.- Yeah. Oldest, only Ice Age rock art.

0:22:09 > 0:22:12I'm looking hard, and I can't see any.

0:22:12 > 0:22:15This cave kept a secret for over 12,000 years.

0:22:16 > 0:22:21The damp environment hasn't been kind to the Ice Age art, which is

0:22:21 > 0:22:24why they remained undiscovered until 2003.

0:22:24 > 0:22:29When they were found, they rewrote history, proving not only that

0:22:29 > 0:22:35Ice Age man walked this far north but that he brought his art with him too.

0:22:35 > 0:22:37Hannah, I can't see anything yet.

0:22:37 > 0:22:40So, here we have a deer stag on the wall.

0:22:40 > 0:22:43- They've used a natural feature for the mouth.- Oh, I can see it.

0:22:43 > 0:22:44Over on the muzzle.

0:22:44 > 0:22:48- And then just... I can see two ears as well.- Here are the horns.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50- Oh, my goodness me.- The ear.

0:22:50 > 0:22:52Oh, it's wonderful. I can't believe it.

0:22:52 > 0:22:5623 drawings were discovered in this one cave.

0:22:56 > 0:23:00The images of bison and birds made this damp, dark hole

0:23:00 > 0:23:04in Derbyshire one of international importance.

0:23:04 > 0:23:08The art here resembles better preserved drawings found

0:23:08 > 0:23:09in warmer climates.

0:23:09 > 0:23:10Cave paintings in Spain

0:23:10 > 0:23:13and France feature animals drawn in a similar style.

0:23:15 > 0:23:18But, Hannah, how can we date this cave art?

0:23:18 > 0:23:22This one is the easiest of all of them to date because you can

0:23:22 > 0:23:27see this area here of flowstone, which is growing on top of it.

0:23:27 > 0:23:32Flowstone is similar to stalactite and stalagmite formations.

0:23:32 > 0:23:38Scientists proved the flowstone growing over the rock art was 12,500

0:23:38 > 0:23:43years old, proving the deer and other pictures were drawn by Ice Age man.

0:23:43 > 0:23:44That is quite amazing.

0:23:44 > 0:23:49I can't believe I'm looking at a work of art from 13...or

0:23:49 > 0:23:51circa 13,000 years ago.

0:23:53 > 0:23:57Creswell Crags is now one of the most heavily protected

0:23:57 > 0:24:01archaeologically and geological sites in Britain.

0:24:01 > 0:24:05I suppose, in many respects, Hannah, these men and ladies

0:24:05 > 0:24:0812,000 years ago were real explorers.

0:24:08 > 0:24:11They were going as far north as was humanly possible.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13They were clever people. They were hardy people.

0:24:13 > 0:24:16- Oh, hugely clever people. - Thanks, Hannah.- Good luck.

0:24:16 > 0:24:17Now, which way is out?

0:24:17 > 0:24:19More importantly, which way is the bison?

0:24:19 > 0:24:20Hm. Over there.

0:24:20 > 0:24:22I am on the hunt. See you later.

0:24:22 > 0:24:25Don't forget to give back the helmet, Charles.

0:24:25 > 0:24:27Hey!

0:24:27 > 0:24:28I've got no spear!

0:24:33 > 0:24:37Back in the present day, Margie has taken herself over the county

0:24:37 > 0:24:40border, into Derbyshire and the market town of Belper.

0:24:40 > 0:24:44Her next shop is a big'un, set in a former Victorian mill.

0:24:44 > 0:24:46Colin is in charge today.

0:24:46 > 0:24:48Look out.

0:24:48 > 0:24:51- Hello, good afternoon.- Hello there. How are you?- Are you Colin?

0:24:51 > 0:24:55- I am, yeah.- I'm Margie. - Hello, Margie.- It looks enormous.

0:24:55 > 0:24:56You can have a wander around.

0:24:56 > 0:25:01Also, while I'm doing that, yesterday I bought a little brooch.

0:25:01 > 0:25:03- Right.- You haven't got a little box, have you?

0:25:03 > 0:25:07- I might find one, see.- We might find one for you.- I'll even pay you.- Oh!

0:25:07 > 0:25:08Well, we will find you one then.

0:25:11 > 0:25:15Margie has £138.56 to spend.

0:25:15 > 0:25:18This is her last opportunity to buy before the auction.

0:25:20 > 0:25:23That's nice, isn't it? Lovely old gate, look.

0:25:23 > 0:25:27I love that. Don't you? Magnifico.

0:25:27 > 0:25:30Isn't that something else?

0:25:30 > 0:25:32And that is...

0:25:32 > 0:25:35Architectural antiques, they are good.

0:25:37 > 0:25:41Margie has fallen for this Victorian iron gate, priced at £90.

0:25:41 > 0:25:43Here comes Colin, though.

0:25:46 > 0:25:48It is not the prettiest thing we've got, is it?

0:25:48 > 0:25:51- Are you surprised I selected that? - I am a little, yeah.- Are you?

0:25:51 > 0:25:54- Yeah.- Good, it'll be cheap then. - HE LAUGHS

0:25:54 > 0:25:58- Well, where has it got to be?- Well, I would be happy buying that for 40.

0:25:58 > 0:25:59- I tell you what...- Yeah.

0:25:59 > 0:26:03- Add a fiver to it so I can have me tea and it is yours.- OK.

0:26:03 > 0:26:05- I think we'll go for that.- 45. Excellent.- Thank you, sir.

0:26:05 > 0:26:0845? That's half-price. Well done, Margie.

0:26:09 > 0:26:12Does anything else take your fancy?

0:26:12 > 0:26:15Well, this is one of these boots that a pony...a pony...

0:26:15 > 0:26:18Well, it's quite a big pony.

0:26:18 > 0:26:22It is a bootie to wear on its hoof to stop

0:26:22 > 0:26:24digging into the garden

0:26:24 > 0:26:29when he's pulling on a lawnmower. Back in the day.

0:26:30 > 0:26:34Before motorised motors pony-drawn cutters were used.

0:26:34 > 0:26:40These booties prevented a neat lawn from being cut up by the hooves.

0:26:40 > 0:26:43This one boot is priced at £55.

0:26:43 > 0:26:45I just like the memory of this.

0:26:45 > 0:26:47You know, of the horse with these little boots on.

0:26:47 > 0:26:50But I don't know whether you've noticed, there is only one,

0:26:50 > 0:26:53- so there's three missing. - SHE CHUCKLES

0:26:53 > 0:26:56I really like it, though.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58Oh, Colin!

0:26:58 > 0:27:02- What have we found?- What have we found? Something really daft.

0:27:02 > 0:27:05- I'm just looking at this, which I find really interesting.- OK, yeah.

0:27:05 > 0:27:08- It would be nice if...- And you know what it is?- I do know what it is.

0:27:08 > 0:27:10Yeah. Interesting piece.

0:27:10 > 0:27:12- It is an interesting piece. - You could make something of it.

0:27:12 > 0:27:15Yeah, but it all depends... OK, here, there is a bit...

0:27:15 > 0:27:19- Somebody has written on here... - OK.- ..£55.- Yeah.

0:27:19 > 0:27:22- What do you think a nice bottle of wine would cost you?- 25 quid?

0:27:22 > 0:27:24- 35. - SHE LAUGHS

0:27:24 > 0:27:29Oh, Colin. How about if we split that? And then we can be friends.

0:27:29 > 0:27:31- 32.50?- Yeah. Go on, then.

0:27:31 > 0:27:34THEY LAUGH

0:27:34 > 0:27:36We got there in the end.

0:27:36 > 0:27:39Margie has her last lots for auction -

0:27:39 > 0:27:41an iron gate and a pony boot,

0:27:41 > 0:27:45together costing £77.50.

0:27:45 > 0:27:48- That's marvellous. That's very kind of you, Colin.- Thank you very much.

0:27:48 > 0:27:51- Now, earlier you said...- Yeah. - "Have you got a little box for me?"

0:27:51 > 0:27:54- Yeah, have you got one? - Well, would that suit?

0:27:54 > 0:27:57Oh, that would suit. I feel as though I should offer...

0:27:57 > 0:28:01What about 50p? Thank you. That feels like a win.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03- Bye-bye.- Bye now.

0:28:03 > 0:28:06Brilliant. A wise 50p spent.

0:28:06 > 0:28:07Well done, Margie.

0:28:11 > 0:28:13Charles' last stop today is in Derbyshire,

0:28:13 > 0:28:16in the former mining town of Bolsover.

0:28:18 > 0:28:22He still has £296.70 left to spend here,

0:28:22 > 0:28:25at Bolsover Antique Centre.

0:28:28 > 0:28:31- GLASS CLINKS - Sorry.

0:28:34 > 0:28:38She's quite nice. I quite like this lady in here.

0:28:38 > 0:28:45This 1930s figurine is made of an alloy of zinc, also known as spelter.

0:28:45 > 0:28:48She's been given a coating of bronze to give the impression

0:28:48 > 0:28:50she's the real McCoy.

0:28:50 > 0:28:53She is quite nice. I'm quite surprised.

0:28:53 > 0:28:57£18. To me, she is striking.

0:28:57 > 0:28:59She is Art Deco. She is glamorous.

0:28:59 > 0:29:02She is almost as glamorous as Margie Cooper.

0:29:02 > 0:29:08For that purpose, I need to go find the key for cabinet number six.

0:29:08 > 0:29:10£18 is surprisingly cheap.

0:29:10 > 0:29:13I wonder why. Perhaps Carol knows.

0:29:13 > 0:29:15Carol?

0:29:17 > 0:29:19Oh, she is gorgeous, Carol.

0:29:21 > 0:29:25- Hello! Margie Cooper-esque. Isn't she lovely?- She is.

0:29:25 > 0:29:30- Just got one problem. You've got them, she hasn't.- Yeah.- Thumbs.

0:29:30 > 0:29:33- It's a shame, yeah. - Where have her thumbs gone, Carol?

0:29:33 > 0:29:35- Has she been nibbling her nails and gone too far?- Must have, yes.

0:29:35 > 0:29:37She is missing her thumbs.

0:29:37 > 0:29:39She is missing both of her thumbs,

0:29:39 > 0:29:42hence why the dealer has put on here AF.

0:29:42 > 0:29:45But turning it round, look at that lovely back.

0:29:45 > 0:29:48It's quite exceptional - i.e.,

0:29:48 > 0:29:49hasn't been dropped or dented.

0:29:49 > 0:29:52It is in particularly nice condition.

0:29:52 > 0:29:56Carol, she is missing her thumbs, but she can still dance.

0:29:56 > 0:29:57- Do you like her?- I do, yeah.

0:29:57 > 0:30:00- Take £12?- Do you want me to go and check?- Could you for me?

0:30:00 > 0:30:01I won't be long.

0:30:01 > 0:30:03Carol, if you want to take a chance...

0:30:03 > 0:30:06- # On me... # Try a tenner.- Right!

0:30:06 > 0:30:08- All right. We'll try.- Thanks, Carol.

0:30:10 > 0:30:13Ten pounds? He is trying his luck.

0:30:18 > 0:30:20- Hold tight.- I've had a word.- Yeah.

0:30:20 > 0:30:22- Whisper it in my... - The best we can do is 15.

0:30:22 > 0:30:26For that sort of price, I'd be rude not to.

0:30:26 > 0:30:28- Cos I think at £15... - She stands a chance.

0:30:28 > 0:30:30She is gorgeous. She is stunning.

0:30:30 > 0:30:31And I'll take her.

0:30:31 > 0:30:37She may be thumbless, but at that price, she is worth taking a punt on.

0:30:37 > 0:30:40And Charles isn't finished here just yet.

0:30:40 > 0:30:41I'm quite taken by this cabinet here.

0:30:41 > 0:30:45It has got quite a few reproduction wrist watches in.

0:30:45 > 0:30:50But more importantly, it has almost got a lot of sentiment in.

0:30:50 > 0:30:54Charles' eye has been drawn to the militaria.

0:30:54 > 0:30:55Utah Beach.

0:30:55 > 0:30:58World War II relic.

0:30:58 > 0:31:02June 6, 1944, D-Day landing.

0:31:02 > 0:31:04How interesting.

0:31:04 > 0:31:07This, of course, represents a very important day

0:31:07 > 0:31:11when, sadly, so many individuals lost their lives.

0:31:11 > 0:31:15And this could just be a piece of relic

0:31:15 > 0:31:17from that D-Day landing,

0:31:17 > 0:31:20who knows, brought back by a soldier.

0:31:20 > 0:31:21I doubt it.

0:31:21 > 0:31:26If it's right, a military collector would pay well over ten pounds

0:31:26 > 0:31:32for something which has such emotive value to such a day.

0:31:32 > 0:31:34I'd love to learn more about this.

0:31:34 > 0:31:35Best call the owner, then.

0:31:35 > 0:31:39Fortunately, Carol has his number at hand. Go, Carol.

0:31:39 > 0:31:43Can I just pass you over?

0:31:43 > 0:31:46Hi, mate. Just a really interesting cabinet of curios.

0:31:46 > 0:31:50And obviously, it's a piece of cement and a bit of barbed wire.

0:31:50 > 0:31:51And folks might say,

0:31:51 > 0:31:54"Goodness me, Hansen, you're not really buying antiques."

0:31:54 > 0:31:58But then, you are buying an object which indirectly is linked to

0:31:58 > 0:32:04such history and to one such day in particular.

0:32:04 > 0:32:07The owner claims it came from a specialist dealer.

0:32:07 > 0:32:11Provenance here is hard to prove, but Charles is taking a risk.

0:32:11 > 0:32:14What is your best price? On at ten pounds.

0:32:14 > 0:32:16A fiver?

0:32:16 > 0:32:19I think for what it potentially represents,

0:32:19 > 0:32:21I'd be a fool to say no.

0:32:21 > 0:32:26I'm going to say I'll buy it and thanks ever so much. Thanks, mate!

0:32:26 > 0:32:28And that concludes the shopping.

0:32:28 > 0:32:30- 15 and five is 20.- Thank you.

0:32:30 > 0:32:33Thank you so much. Thanks, Carol. Thanks again for the memories.

0:32:33 > 0:32:36- Thank you.- Bye.- Bye.

0:32:36 > 0:32:38They've been busy on this trip.

0:32:38 > 0:32:42Charles has paired the possible Utah Beach barbed wire with

0:32:42 > 0:32:46the First World War German water bottle to make a militaria lot.

0:32:46 > 0:32:49He has four other items, including the bronze Buddha,

0:32:49 > 0:32:51a George III sampler,

0:32:51 > 0:32:53a pair of 18th-century clogs,

0:32:53 > 0:32:55and an Art Deco figurine.

0:32:55 > 0:32:58All that lot cost him £120.

0:33:01 > 0:33:06While Margie parted with £206 for a Victorian nursing chair,

0:33:06 > 0:33:08a gold brooch with box,

0:33:08 > 0:33:10the Georgian fleam,

0:33:10 > 0:33:12a Victorian iron gate

0:33:12 > 0:33:14and one leather pony boot.

0:33:14 > 0:33:17So, what do they make of each other's buys?

0:33:18 > 0:33:20I love that Art Deco brooch.

0:33:20 > 0:33:25And heaven forbid, for £30.50, you have bought real gold.

0:33:25 > 0:33:28I can't believe he's bought a pair of clogs. I mean,

0:33:28 > 0:33:32- the saleroom is in Lancashire. - SHE GIGGLES

0:33:32 > 0:33:34And that is taking coals to Newcastle.

0:33:34 > 0:33:36There are lots and lots of clogs in Lancashire.

0:33:36 > 0:33:40I am quite happy to go to Lancashire with my bootie to take on hers.

0:33:40 > 0:33:42And hopefully, I'll be victorious.

0:33:44 > 0:33:48We'll soon see, for it is across the Peak District

0:33:48 > 0:33:51they head for an auction in Bolton, Lancashire.

0:33:51 > 0:33:54- Ay up, me duck!- Yeah, yeah. Ay up.- Ay up, me duck.

0:33:55 > 0:33:58Bolton was a 19th-century boom town.

0:33:58 > 0:34:01It once had over 200 cotton mills,

0:34:01 > 0:34:05making it one of the most productive cotton spinning towns in the world.

0:34:05 > 0:34:08I'm fairly sure, Margie, at this auction house in Bolton,

0:34:08 > 0:34:10where there's muck, there's grass.

0:34:10 > 0:34:13And where they see our mucky buys, there's grassy treasures.

0:34:13 > 0:34:16I think muck and grass is Yorkshire, but never mind.

0:34:16 > 0:34:18- Oh, Margie...- Who cares?

0:34:18 > 0:34:21Today's sale is taking place at Bolton auction room,

0:34:21 > 0:34:25housed in the former Metropolitan Library building.

0:34:25 > 0:34:29- I shouldn't have worn a skirt. - It's all to come.

0:34:29 > 0:34:33- It's all to come, Margie.- Oh, gosh, this car'll be the death...

0:34:33 > 0:34:36That's the way, Margie, a Lancashire lass does it.

0:34:37 > 0:34:40- I was that before you. - And I'm a Derbyshire man.

0:34:40 > 0:34:44Presiding over proceedings is auctioneer Stephen Sloan.

0:34:44 > 0:34:46What does he make of our experts' buys?

0:34:49 > 0:34:52The Buddha, quite a nice lot. He is a good colour and, I think,

0:34:52 > 0:34:54a jolly good collector's item.

0:34:54 > 0:34:56And I think he should do quite well today.

0:34:56 > 0:35:00A pony boot, yes, obviously one of four.

0:35:00 > 0:35:03Now, I must say, this one is in exceptional condition.

0:35:03 > 0:35:06Now, what you would do with it, I have no idea.

0:35:06 > 0:35:08As Stephen readies himself,

0:35:08 > 0:35:12his colleague Mia is primed to receive online bids.

0:35:12 > 0:35:15Time for our experts to take their seats.

0:35:15 > 0:35:17- Here we go.- Thank you. Wow.

0:35:17 > 0:35:20- How are you, Margie?- Very well. How are you?- This is Bolton, isn't it?

0:35:20 > 0:35:23- Are you trembling in Bolton? - Trembling in anticipation.

0:35:23 > 0:35:25Calm those auction nerves.

0:35:27 > 0:35:29It's Charles's pair of clogs first.

0:35:29 > 0:35:31- I have never seen such a big pair of clogs.- Thank you.

0:35:31 > 0:35:34- I tried them on.- You know, you brought clogs to Lancashire.

0:35:34 > 0:35:36There are a heck of a lot of them around.

0:35:36 > 0:35:37- Are there really?- Hopefully.

0:35:37 > 0:35:39Thank you, sir. 30, bid. 30.

0:35:39 > 0:35:42- Come on.- 32. 34.

0:35:42 > 0:35:45- 34. 36.- Come on, they are wonderful boots.

0:35:45 > 0:35:47- 40.- Let's go.- And two.

0:35:47 > 0:35:51- 42, thank you.- Happy with that. - At £42, this is for two.

0:35:51 > 0:35:53- 21 each. - MARGIE LAUGHS

0:35:53 > 0:35:55- 21 each!- At 42. Thanks.

0:35:55 > 0:35:59- Welcome to Lancashire, Margie. - Are you sure?- I'm delighted.

0:35:59 > 0:36:00And so you should be.

0:36:00 > 0:36:03You've walked away with a £22 profit.

0:36:05 > 0:36:07Next up, Margie's 19th-century fleam.

0:36:08 > 0:36:10Gosh, I feel quite squirmish now.

0:36:10 > 0:36:12I'm even more nervous for you.

0:36:12 > 0:36:14- Squeamish.- Squeamish, right.

0:36:14 > 0:36:18- 25 bid, thank you.- Good. - That's OK, isn't it?- On the net.

0:36:18 > 0:36:20- '31!'- Yes.- 31?

0:36:20 > 0:36:2432. 34? At £34.

0:36:24 > 0:36:27- 36. 38?- Come on, crawl a bit more.

0:36:27 > 0:36:31- 38. 40? £40. And two? 42.- Gosh,

0:36:31 > 0:36:34- it is giving me heart failure. - 42. Are you sure?

0:36:36 > 0:36:40That is Charles and Margie both making a profit on their first lots.

0:36:41 > 0:36:45A great start. Now, time for Charles' sampler.

0:36:45 > 0:36:49- Anybody got £40 for it? £40? - HE SIGHS

0:36:49 > 0:36:5230 bid. 30. Five anywhere? At £30.

0:36:52 > 0:36:54And five anywhere else?

0:36:54 > 0:36:57- Come on, let's go!- At 40. At £40.

0:36:57 > 0:36:58- Keep selling.- £50, give me five.

0:36:58 > 0:37:02- 55.- I should think so. - Quite right, I like her style.

0:37:02 > 0:37:04- £60. Five.- Come on!

0:37:04 > 0:37:08- All done at £60? It is here to be sold.- A little profit.

0:37:09 > 0:37:12That's great, I'm very happy. It could've gone the other way.

0:37:12 > 0:37:15But it didn't, and you're faring well.

0:37:15 > 0:37:18Margie's gate is next to go under the gavel.

0:37:18 > 0:37:21- £30, kick it in. - SHE LAUGHS

0:37:21 > 0:37:23Gracious me, scrap metal now.

0:37:23 > 0:37:2620 bid, thank you. 20. Two.

0:37:26 > 0:37:30- 24? 24. 26?- That's better. - 28? 28.- Go on keep going.

0:37:30 > 0:37:3330. 30, and two? Two, thank you.

0:37:33 > 0:37:38- 34? 34. 36? 36.- Still going. Come on.- 38, thank you.

0:37:38 > 0:37:41- That's better, Margie. Good. - £40. And two.

0:37:41 > 0:37:4442. 44. At 42.

0:37:44 > 0:37:47I am selling at £42. This is no money at all.

0:37:49 > 0:37:51SHE EXHALES LOUDLY

0:37:51 > 0:37:54Oh, Margie, so close.

0:37:55 > 0:37:59The auctioneer thought this next lot could do well for Charles.

0:37:59 > 0:38:02It could be full of Eastern promise. We are live online.

0:38:02 > 0:38:05- Say what, £100 to start me? - HE BREATHES QUICKLY

0:38:05 > 0:38:09- £70. 70 bid.- 70 bid! Come on, let's go!- Five anywhere?- Come on!

0:38:09 > 0:38:10At £70 bid.

0:38:10 > 0:38:13- Shut up!- It is a very rare opportunity.- It is rare.

0:38:13 > 0:38:17All done at 70? Last time, gavel's up...

0:38:17 > 0:38:19- Well done.- Very good. Thank you very much. Thanks, partner.

0:38:19 > 0:38:24A brilliant profit on that little chap. Well done, Charles.

0:38:24 > 0:38:27First clogs and now Margie's pony boot.

0:38:27 > 0:38:31But will our second footwear lot be as successful?

0:38:31 > 0:38:33Say what, kick it in at £20?

0:38:33 > 0:38:3620 in the room. £20, thank you. And two.

0:38:36 > 0:38:38- Two. 22.- Come on, Margie.

0:38:38 > 0:38:3924. 26. 28.

0:38:39 > 0:38:42- 30. 32? 32.- Good.

0:38:42 > 0:38:45- Profit.- Oh, no!- Profit.

0:38:45 > 0:38:4634!

0:38:46 > 0:38:49- 'Oh, she's at it.' - 36, new money. 38? Try two.

0:38:49 > 0:38:51- 38!- Yeah! Well done, Margie.

0:38:51 > 0:38:54- 38.- Good job.- Spoilsport.

0:38:54 > 0:38:57Back to the net then at 38. 38. 40 anywhere else?

0:38:57 > 0:39:02- At £38.- Well done, partner. They're all in the room.

0:39:02 > 0:39:04- And two?- Tight.- 40?- It's kicking.

0:39:05 > 0:39:07Wonderful.

0:39:07 > 0:39:09Another profit for Margie.

0:39:11 > 0:39:14Next up, Charles' thumbless figurine.

0:39:14 > 0:39:17- Are you sure she's not repro? - Get out of here!

0:39:17 > 0:39:20- Where would you like to be with her? - Anywhere.- You needn't say what.

0:39:20 > 0:39:23- £30 to start me. Thank you. - Thank you very much.

0:39:23 > 0:39:25In the room at £30. 30. And two.

0:39:25 > 0:39:27- 32.- Come on, let's go.- 34. 36?

0:39:27 > 0:39:31- 36. 38? 38. 40?- She's coming home.

0:39:31 > 0:39:32- £40, and two.- Let's go.

0:39:32 > 0:39:34- Two, sir, thank you. - The Lancashire lady.

0:39:34 > 0:39:36Thank you very much, sir. Thank you.

0:39:36 > 0:39:38- 44.- Come on, sir.- 46.

0:39:38 > 0:39:4146 in the room. All done at 46?

0:39:41 > 0:39:42I can't believe it.

0:39:44 > 0:39:48She had no thumbs but she was a lovely lady. I am really pleased.

0:39:48 > 0:39:49Super profit.

0:39:51 > 0:39:54Margie's brooch is next. And in a new box.

0:39:54 > 0:39:58The auction house have kindly found a smarter box than the one she bought.

0:39:58 > 0:40:01Could have saved yourself 50p, Margie.

0:40:01 > 0:40:04Where would you like to be with this one? Say what, £40 for it?

0:40:04 > 0:40:09- 40 bid, sir.- Margie! Brilliant! - Two anywhere? On the bloke at 42.

0:40:09 > 0:40:11- You watch, Margie.- 44. 46.

0:40:11 > 0:40:14- 48. 50.- Good buy, Margie.- 52.

0:40:14 > 0:40:16Four. 56.

0:40:16 > 0:40:19- 58. £60. 62.- Oh, good.

0:40:19 > 0:40:21- 64.- Funny old game, Margie.

0:40:21 > 0:40:23- 68. £70.- I didn't think it would...

0:40:23 > 0:40:2572? At 70.

0:40:25 > 0:40:28Wow, Margie Cooper, take a bow!

0:40:28 > 0:40:34- Two. 72.- Oh, Margie.- In two places. 74, sir?- Wow!- 74, is it?

0:40:34 > 0:40:39In the room at 74. 76? At 74 in the room. Gentleman's bid in the room.

0:40:39 > 0:40:42- Marge, they've all been waiting for this.- £74...

0:40:42 > 0:40:43Good girl, Margie.

0:40:43 > 0:40:46Margie has bagged another great profit.

0:40:48 > 0:40:51And she's up again with her Victorian nursing chair.

0:40:51 > 0:40:54Where would you like to be with that one for me?

0:40:54 > 0:40:5565, thanks. There we go.

0:40:55 > 0:40:58- That's what I should've paid. - Good, Margie.- We are starting.

0:40:58 > 0:41:00- Is that profit?- 70 anywhere?

0:41:00 > 0:41:03- £70. 70 here. And five. - Hold tight, Margie.

0:41:03 > 0:41:05That's 70 here. £70.

0:41:05 > 0:41:06Golden opportunity.

0:41:08 > 0:41:11SHE LAUGHS

0:41:11 > 0:41:14I just love buying things and selling them at the same price.

0:41:14 > 0:41:17It's wiped its face, Margie.

0:41:17 > 0:41:20Our pair's last lot now.

0:41:20 > 0:41:23It is Charles' wartime memorabilia.

0:41:23 > 0:41:26They were both risky buys as the provenance is questionable.

0:41:26 > 0:41:31Thank you, sir. 20, and we're away. 20, and two. I have 20. Two.

0:41:31 > 0:41:3422. 24? 24. 26. 28?

0:41:34 > 0:41:3528, thank you.

0:41:35 > 0:41:38It is all about the history, Margie, forget the money.

0:41:38 > 0:41:42- It is just to see a bit of history. - 34. And six? Six, thank you.

0:41:42 > 0:41:46- 38? 38, thank you.- Ah! You are getting there.

0:41:46 > 0:41:49- 42. 44? 44.- Ooooh...- 46? 46.

0:41:49 > 0:41:53- 48? 48. - It is real history, Margie.

0:41:53 > 0:41:55You can't buy history, but you can today.

0:41:55 > 0:41:59- A rare opportunity.- Margie... And that's history.

0:42:00 > 0:42:04And ending on another profit for Charles. Well done, both of you.

0:42:04 > 0:42:05- Come on.- Let's go.

0:42:07 > 0:42:10Time to tally up who's today's winner.

0:42:10 > 0:42:14Margie started this leg with £266.56.

0:42:14 > 0:42:17Today, after paying auction house fees,

0:42:17 > 0:42:20she has made a profit of £13.76.

0:42:20 > 0:42:25This means she carries forward £280.32.

0:42:30 > 0:42:35Charles, meanwhile, started with £396.70.

0:42:35 > 0:42:40Today, he has made an impressive profit of £99.76,

0:42:40 > 0:42:46which means he is stretching ahead with £496.46

0:42:46 > 0:42:48to spend on the next leg.

0:42:49 > 0:42:51MOTOR REVS

0:42:51 > 0:42:54Bye-bye! See you, Lancashire!

0:42:54 > 0:42:56Bye-bye, Road Trippers!

0:43:00 > 0:43:02Next time on Antiques Road Trip...

0:43:02 > 0:43:04Whoa!

0:43:04 > 0:43:06..the weather doesn't dampen Charles' spirits...

0:43:06 > 0:43:08I feel like a pirate.

0:43:08 > 0:43:10..and Margie reaches new heights.

0:43:10 > 0:43:12I feel like I am going to break it.

0:43:12 > 0:43:15You're going to lose the sale!
