0:00:02 > 0:00:04It's the nation's favourite antiques experts.
0:00:04 > 0:00:05That's cracking.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07With £200 each...
0:00:07 > 0:00:08Wonderful.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11..a classic car and a goal - to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13- That's exactly what I'm talking about.- I'm all of a shiver!
0:00:13 > 0:00:17The aim? To make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20- No brainer.- Going, going, gone.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23There'll be worthy winners and valiant losers.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25So, will it be the high road to glory...
0:00:25 > 0:00:28- Push! - ..or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:28 > 0:00:29How awfully, awfully nice.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31This is Antiques Road Trip!
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Today, we witness the blossoming of a brand-new road trip
0:00:39 > 0:00:42relationship for two antiquos.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Anita Manning and Raj Bisram.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49Raj, the sun is shining, the sky is blue.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53- Are you ready for a new adventure?- I certainly am.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Good-oh.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Anita is the road trip queen bee, with a passion for Scottish art
0:00:59 > 0:01:00and, of course, jewellery.
0:01:00 > 0:01:05Who could resist rummaging through that lot there?
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Raj is a relative Road Trip newbie,
0:01:07 > 0:01:11but as a former army fitness instructor and champion skier,
0:01:11 > 0:01:14he takes the competition very seriously.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17We're moving in for the kill now.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Blimey. They'll be cruising the country
0:01:19 > 0:01:23in this rather snazzy 1978 Triumph Spitfire.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27Anita and Raj begin their journey with £200 each.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Departing from Wisbech in Cambridgeshire,
0:01:30 > 0:01:32they'll explore Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex,
0:01:32 > 0:01:35then head south, to Kent, Surrey and Sussex,
0:01:35 > 0:01:38before finishing at their final auction, in Bolton, Lancashire.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Phew. But the very first calling point
0:01:42 > 0:01:44is at Wisbech in Cambridgeshire,
0:01:44 > 0:01:48with their opening auction taking them to Beeston in Norfolk.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Well, well, well, here we are.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53You've got a pocket full of money.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- Wish me luck, Anita. - Good luck, darling.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- OK. Oh, lovely!- See you later.
0:01:59 > 0:02:00Granny's Cupboard Antiques
0:02:00 > 0:02:04has been running for 30 years and is owned by Richard.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- Hello, there.- Hello. - Hi, Richard, isn't it?
0:02:08 > 0:02:10- Hi, I'm Raj.- Nice to meet you.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14It's so lovely to come into a shop full of antiques, proper antiques!
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Richard specialises in small antiques,
0:02:18 > 0:02:20sourcing them from walk-in customers,
0:02:20 > 0:02:22house clearances and from his travels.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Have you got any bits of jewellery, Richard?
0:02:24 > 0:02:26There's a few bits I've actually just been pricing up.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29That's a nice silver bit of Art Nouveau, enamelled.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- Quite like that.- Yeah.- That's a nice piece of jewellery, isn't it?
0:02:32 > 0:02:36This is a really lovely piece of Art Nouveau jewellery.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37It's a really nice little brooch,
0:02:37 > 0:02:41it's got mother of pearl in it and I really like the design.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43There's £28 on the ticket.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45What could you do that for, Richard, please?
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- 24.- 24.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52Could I get you down to a nice round 20?
0:02:52 > 0:02:53- No.- Ha!
0:02:53 > 0:02:56No? Fair enough. Can we split the difference at 22?
0:02:56 > 0:02:58- We can.- We have a deal.
0:02:58 > 0:03:0222. I've got my first item on this trip.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06Cheeky! Playing the jewellery queen at her own game, eh?
0:03:06 > 0:03:07What will Anita think?
0:03:08 > 0:03:111930s ladies purse.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13It's in excellent condition.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16These actually have become quite collectable these days.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18If I can get that at the right price,
0:03:18 > 0:03:20that's definitely a little buy.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Anita would be very pleased with me.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25With no price on the label, it's back to Richard.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- It's quite nice condition. - It's very good condition, isn't it?
0:03:28 > 0:03:31- Yeah.- Very, very cheap.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33- You can't argue with that price. - No, I can't, no.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- I'm not even going to ask for any discount.- No!
0:03:38 > 0:03:40- What could it be? - It could be a tenner.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- You can't go wrong with that. - It's a sale.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47Raj has found himself an Art Nouveau brooch and an early 20th century
0:03:47 > 0:03:49ladies' purse for £32.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53Back to Anita now, and she's tootled to Tottenhill near King's Lynn,
0:03:53 > 0:03:55for her first shop of the trip.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01The Antiques Emporium has a rather fine collection of goods,
0:04:01 > 0:04:04but, as usual, the cabinets are calling Anita.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09These pieces of agate, or pebbles,
0:04:09 > 0:04:14are found in the streams and beaches of Scotland.
0:04:14 > 0:04:19They were collected and taken down to the New Town in Edinburgh
0:04:19 > 0:04:24and polished and made into these lovely brooches and bracelets.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28And this, it's a little pillbox.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32Isn't that bonnie? Look at this striped agate here.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34The colours are wonderful.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38I was hoping that it might be gold, but it's not gold.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44This probably dates from the late 19th, early 20th century.
0:04:44 > 0:04:49But it's still functional in our modern days today.
0:04:51 > 0:04:52One to consider?
0:04:55 > 0:05:01And what we have here is a little miniature chamber candlestick.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02It's pretty.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06The handle, the base, the tub here,
0:05:06 > 0:05:09all have a very nice detail.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10Any more?
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Now, this chain here is really what we will call, perhaps,
0:05:17 > 0:05:19a fancy link chain.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23But it's the type of thing that...
0:05:23 > 0:05:26a Victorian gentleman would wear.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29This would go through his buttonhole here
0:05:29 > 0:05:34and this very nice fob, with the citrine glass stone,
0:05:34 > 0:05:37would sit outside.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40I really like this one because it's quite unusual.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42And I would like to have a go at it.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46This chain is known as an Albert, named after Prince Albert,
0:05:46 > 0:05:50who wore this style of watch chain in the early 19th century.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53So Anita has a few options. Jane's in charge.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Let's have a chat, shall we?
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Jane, I've found three things which I liked.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02- OK.- But there's one thing that has intrigued me.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06- Right.- And it's this thing here.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- Right. - I believe that it is something
0:06:11 > 0:06:16that they used to use for spooning out and stirring pig swill.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Pig swill? Right. Not porridge?
0:06:20 > 0:06:21Or porridge!
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- I'm going to call it a porridge stirrer.- OK.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29- How much is that? - I think we could do £20 on that.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Could you do those...
0:06:36 > 0:06:41The three, the porridge stirrer and the two wee...
0:06:41 > 0:06:44yellow metal things for 40 quid?
0:06:44 > 0:06:49Both the pillbox and the Albert chain are marked up at £30 each.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Oh, you're pushing me there, Anita!
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Well, just say "no" and throw me out of the door.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Could we say...50?
0:07:00 > 0:07:02£50 for the three things?
0:07:02 > 0:07:04- Yeah.- Put it there.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Thank you.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10And Anita's bagged herself a Victorian Albert,
0:07:10 > 0:07:11or watch chain, for £20,
0:07:11 > 0:07:13an agate pillbox for 25
0:07:13 > 0:07:17and a four-foot rustic wooden spoon for £5.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- I'll place them in there really carefully.- Hi-ho, hi-ho...
0:07:22 > 0:07:24..it's off to auction I go.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Good luck, Anita!
0:07:27 > 0:07:31Raj, meanwhile, has made his way south of Wisbech, to Littleport,
0:07:31 > 0:07:36just outside Ely, which lies on the River Great Ouse.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Raj is here to check out a relatively-new antiques haven,
0:07:40 > 0:07:43run by Andrew. Hi, Andrew.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- Hello, Andrew.- Hello, Raj.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48The Salvage And Trading Post
0:07:48 > 0:07:52has a plethora of antique collectable and vintage treats
0:07:52 > 0:07:54for Raj to check out.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Andrew. I wonder, could I have a look at some of the things
0:07:58 > 0:08:00in your cabinet, please?
0:08:00 > 0:08:01Is there anything in particular, Raj?
0:08:01 > 0:08:05I'd like to see the butter knife.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06Cheese scoop, as you call it.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08That's an unusual thing.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11It is. Unfortunately, the box is damaged on that,
0:08:11 > 0:08:14but, as you rightly say, the scoop is an unusual one.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18This is like a butter knife, but with a little horn handle.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Yes. Yes, I think the collar is actually silver hallmarked,
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- and it's "Sheffield, 1906."- Hmm.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Are the rest of them hallmarked, as well?
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- No, I believe the others are plate.- Yeah.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33What could you do this for?
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Well, the ticket price is 38.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39I'm prepared to say £30?
0:08:39 > 0:08:40It's a bit too tight for me.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- I'll take 25.- OK.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Well, let me put it there for the moment, OK, if I can?
0:08:47 > 0:08:48And just think about that.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Andrew thinks he's got something else to Raj's taste.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55This is the 101st edition of the Streeter & Co.
0:08:55 > 0:09:00As I understand it, it's actually a gold leaf illustration,
0:09:00 > 0:09:02which is...
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- quite a rare... - It's a lovely little book.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08This was originally a shop in London, in Bond Street.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12And they sold really good quality jewellery
0:09:12 > 0:09:16and small artefacts and this is basically their catalogue.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20The illustrations are gorgeous. Absolutely love it.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22How much have you got on this?
0:09:22 > 0:09:23165.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Hmm.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Yeah, if I were to buy these two items...
0:09:29 > 0:09:31If I were to say £60 for the two.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33£60 for two?
0:09:33 > 0:09:35I'm not going to argue with you at all, Andrew.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- I'm going to shake your hand. - Thank you, Raj.- 60? Fantastic.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39Very well done.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43So, that's two cracking gems for Raj. A 1940s butter knife,
0:09:43 > 0:09:45cheese slice and pickle fork set
0:09:45 > 0:09:48and a rather unusual jewellers' gems' book,
0:09:48 > 0:09:51both for £30 each.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53It's home to bed, you two. Nighty-night.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00It's a new day and our experts are back, tearing around
0:10:00 > 0:10:02in the Triumph Spitfire.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Do you like the wind in your hair, Raj?
0:10:04 > 0:10:06I...
0:10:06 > 0:10:08I love the wind in my hair.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Hey, a bit below the belt, Anita!
0:10:11 > 0:10:13With the auction in Beeston in sight,
0:10:13 > 0:10:17this perky pair must first head to their next destination,
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Fakenham in Norfolk.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Anita's here to call at Fakenham Antiques And Collectables,
0:10:22 > 0:10:24run by Sandy. Look out.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- Good morning, Anita. - Hi.- How are you?
0:10:27 > 0:10:31Anita is armed and ready and dangerous with £150 to spend.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Straight to the glass cabinets this time.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36There's a surprise.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40And this time, it's colour that's pulling my eye.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45These are 1930s napkin rings.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48They're made of Bakelite.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51They do have that vintage look
0:10:51 > 0:10:54that young people are looking for today.
0:10:54 > 0:10:59Now, this is a set of six here and I quite like them.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Lovely! Ticket price is £28. Stand by, Sandy.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06I like these, I think they're quite stylish.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- They're pretty, aren't they?- Yes.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13- I think that this is perhaps been part of a bigger set...- Set, yeah.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17..because I would have liked more variety in the colours,
0:11:17 > 0:11:20because we've got three green ones there.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22I could do them for 18.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- Could we do them for 18? - Yeah.- Let's go for it.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29So, that's £18 for the 1930s Bakelite napkin rings.
0:11:29 > 0:11:30Straight in her pocket.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- It's been lovely being here. - Lovely having you, Anita.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- Bye-bye.- Bye-bye now.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Meanwhile, Raj is travelling ten miles north,
0:11:38 > 0:11:42towards the attractive town of Wells-next-the-Sea,
0:11:42 > 0:11:46so called due to its historic proximity to fresh springs.
0:11:46 > 0:11:47Get it?
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Landscape's very, very flat.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53It's a little bit like Kent, where I'm from,
0:11:53 > 0:11:55but this is obviously much flatter.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Raj is heading to a magnificent stately home, to learn about
0:11:59 > 0:12:01an agricultural pioneer
0:12:01 > 0:12:04whose ground-breaking techniques helped form the future
0:12:04 > 0:12:06of Britain's farming industry.
0:12:06 > 0:12:11Raj is here to meet Holkham Hall's manager, Sharon Cheshire.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- Hello, Raj.- Hi, Sharon.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15What a fantastic place!
0:12:15 > 0:12:17It's quite impressive, isn't it?
0:12:17 > 0:12:18Soon after Holkham was built,
0:12:18 > 0:12:21the population soared and demand for food was growing,
0:12:21 > 0:12:25calling for what some say was an agricultural revolution.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26This neo-classical mansion
0:12:26 > 0:12:32was at the heart of this innovative agricultural transformation.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Wow. What an amazing portrait of the man.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Done by Gainsborough, as well.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Yeah. Thomas William Cook, Cook of Norfolk.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43The man who took over Holkham Hall.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46He inherited it at the end of the 17th century.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49It was about 30,000 acres at that time
0:12:49 > 0:12:54and it was already a well-running and well-developed estate,
0:12:54 > 0:12:59but because the things were being planted year after year,
0:12:59 > 0:13:00the crops were starting to deteriorate.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03So he knew that, to take the estate forward,
0:13:03 > 0:13:07he would have to look at new methods of developing the land.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10A century earlier, British statesman Charles Townshend
0:13:10 > 0:13:14developed a crop rotation system, whereby wheat, turnips,
0:13:14 > 0:13:18barley and clover were cultivated in succession,
0:13:18 > 0:13:20preventing soil exhaustion
0:13:20 > 0:13:23and earning him the moniker, "Turnip Townsend".
0:13:24 > 0:13:29Cook built on that idea and other revolutionary techniques,
0:13:29 > 0:13:34such as cross-breeding animals, to improve quality and seed drilling,
0:13:34 > 0:13:37introducing them to Holkham.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40There was lots of tenant farmers on the estate
0:13:40 > 0:13:42and each ran their own areas,
0:13:42 > 0:13:45but he encouraged them to sign documents to say they would stick
0:13:45 > 0:13:48with his plan, so that they would all work together.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51And obviously, having a house like this, where you can have
0:13:51 > 0:13:54amazing parties, bringing all those people in, does help.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Despite also working as an MP for Norfolk,
0:13:57 > 0:14:00charismatic Cook invested time,
0:14:00 > 0:14:04energy and money in expanding Holkham's farming and reputation.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08This is a very elaborate trophy.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Beautiful engraving on it.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14- Holkham Sheep Show.- Yeah.- Yeah. It would have been one of the trophies
0:14:14 > 0:14:16given for the breeding of cattle.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Each year, Cook hosted three-day shearing events,
0:14:19 > 0:14:21a forerunner of county shows.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Well, this is another first for me.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30These events attracted people from across the nation to share their
0:14:30 > 0:14:32expertise, learn from others
0:14:32 > 0:14:35and win prizes for the best animals on the show.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38There was even a trophy for the fastest shearer.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Can I let you finish it off?
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Probably for the best. Has it still got any legs?
0:14:44 > 0:14:49I hope I wasn't too baa-d!
0:14:49 > 0:14:50Oh, dear.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54The care and passion Cook showed for agricultural development meant that,
0:14:54 > 0:14:59after his death in 1842, his tenants funded a memorial in his honour.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Sharon, tell me about this amazing monument.
0:15:03 > 0:15:09The monument is 120 feet high with various symbols and plaques going
0:15:09 > 0:15:12around it, that basically tell a story of what he was involved in
0:15:12 > 0:15:15throughout his life. Part of it represents his political career,
0:15:15 > 0:15:19but it's mostly about what he achieved in agriculture.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22From selective breeding in animals,
0:15:22 > 0:15:25to improving crop rotation techniques,
0:15:25 > 0:15:29over 170 years after Thomas William Cook's death,
0:15:29 > 0:15:33his principles are still being used and the impact of his
0:15:33 > 0:15:35ground-breaking achievements live on.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Back with Anita again, who's ventured inland to Holt,
0:15:41 > 0:15:45Anita is here to visit an old haunt, owned by Mandy.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- Ah, Mandy!- Hello!- It's lovely to be back again...
0:15:48 > 0:15:52- Nice to see you again. - ..to your antiques centre.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Mandy's been at Shire Hall Lane Antiques Centre
0:15:55 > 0:15:59for five years now, and as Anita's trod on these boards before,
0:15:59 > 0:16:01she knows her way around.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Raj, how's your blood pressure?
0:16:04 > 0:16:05Cheeky!
0:16:06 > 0:16:09I love figure groups. I love sculpture.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13And I'm sort of drawn to this figure group here.
0:16:13 > 0:16:18It's of, I would imagine, two sisters here
0:16:18 > 0:16:20from maybe the '20s or the '30s,
0:16:20 > 0:16:24and they've got that characteristic short bobbed hair.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26It's made of plaster.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31So it's not a fine thing, but it has this lovely,
0:16:31 > 0:16:34lovely terracotta colour here,
0:16:34 > 0:16:37which I find very appealing.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43If we look at it, we've got a wee bit of damage there,
0:16:43 > 0:16:45a little foot has been off.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49And there's a bit of damage on the toe there.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51It's only £28.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Oh, Mandy!
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Yes?
0:16:55 > 0:16:59Mandy, I've been drawn to this little figure group here.
0:16:59 > 0:17:00OK.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04It reminds me of me and my sister,
0:17:04 > 0:17:08and we had both these bob haircuts when we were young.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Are you able to do anything about the price?
0:17:11 > 0:17:13- How does 22 sound?- 22?- Yes.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Mm-hm. Could it be bought for 20?
0:17:15 > 0:17:19- Go on, you've twisted my arm. - OK, that's great.- Is that all right?
0:17:19 > 0:17:21- Thank you very, very much. - No problem.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24So that's an even 20 for a terracotta figure group
0:17:24 > 0:17:26of two sisters, without a toe.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29- Thank you again.- Thanks, bye-bye.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30Now, it's back to Raj again,
0:17:30 > 0:17:32who's joined Anita in Holt
0:17:32 > 0:17:36to check out Mews Antiques Emporium, run by Andrew.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38- Hello, there.- Hello, Raj. - Andrew, isn't it?
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- Yes.- Nice to meet you.- And you.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43There's lots of rooms here, I think.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Yes, you're very welcome. There's eight rooms upstairs.
0:17:46 > 0:17:47Spread over two floors,
0:17:47 > 0:17:49this antiques collectables and vintage store has
0:17:49 > 0:17:54lots of nooks and crannies for Raj to explore. Going down?
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Well, I've got about £100 left.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59And I really want to make a good profit.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03I'm happy to spend it all, but I've got to find the right thing.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Go on, then, do it!
0:18:09 > 0:18:11- Andrew.- Yes? I wonder, is it possible I could have a look
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- at that silver picture frame there?- Yes, of course.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18- A nice frame. - It is a lovely, lovely frame, but
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- the silver...- It's such a shame... - ..is missing, because that is a beautiful frame.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26In perfect condition, a frame like this could make upwards of £100.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29This damaged frame, though, has a ticket price of £49.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33But Raj wants Andrew to see if the dealer can do any better.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34Nice tulips.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Your silver frame, which has got a small amount of damage on
0:18:37 > 0:18:40the right bottom there,
0:18:40 > 0:18:42the cost is £49.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44What's the best we can do on that one?
0:18:44 > 0:18:46OK. Yeah, I understand. Thank you very much.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Time to break the news to Raj.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- What did he manage to say?- Well, 35.
0:18:51 > 0:18:52Is that the very best?
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Well, the very, very best would be 30.
0:18:56 > 0:18:5830? I'm going to shake your hand.
0:18:58 > 0:18:5930, we have a deal.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03So that's £30 for the 1920s silver photo frame.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07- Thank you very much again, Andrew. - Thank you.- A pleasure.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Where's the tulips gone? Oh, there they are. Good. And shopping's complete!
0:19:10 > 0:19:13So let's have a little peek at the purchases.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17Including his frame, Raj shelled out £122 on an Art Nouveau brooch,
0:19:17 > 0:19:21a ladies' cloth purse, a butter knife, cheese slice and pickle fork set,
0:19:21 > 0:19:24as you do, and a rare gems book.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29Anita spent £88 on an Albert guard chain,
0:19:29 > 0:19:31an agate pillbox,
0:19:31 > 0:19:33a giant wooden spoon,
0:19:33 > 0:19:37a set of Bakelite napkin rings and a terracotta figure of two sisters,
0:19:37 > 0:19:38one missing a toe.
0:19:39 > 0:19:44I'm wondering if Raj has been influenced by me
0:19:44 > 0:19:46in the things that he's bought,
0:19:46 > 0:19:51because there is definitely a feminine influence there.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54I think the wooden spoon's going to do really well.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56I think this would cause quite a stir.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Oh, lordy.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00And whizzing away from Wisbech,
0:20:00 > 0:20:04our experts are now cruising their way through the Norfolk countryside,
0:20:04 > 0:20:07headed for their first auction in Beeston.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09- Well...- Here we are.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Here we are, Anita.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14The first auction.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Exciting, darling, exciting!
0:20:18 > 0:20:21The family-run Townsend Auction Galleries
0:20:21 > 0:20:23have been open for 20 years.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Their antiques, fine art and jewellery sale today
0:20:26 > 0:20:29will be led by veteran auctioneer David Palmer.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32My favourite item is the wooden spoon, it's brilliant.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34It has a presence.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37This is a spoon that appeals to this county.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40The 1920s French purse,
0:20:40 > 0:20:44this was created before the French became fashionable and chic.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48It looks to me as though someone has chopped a bit out of an old sofa and used that.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Time to see whether the auction-goers of Norfolk agree.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55There's internet bidding here, too. So it could get exciting.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Here we are, darling.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01The moment of the moments of truth!
0:21:01 > 0:21:03First auction.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07First up is Anita's Albert guard chain.
0:21:07 > 0:21:08A rather nice piece, this.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Appreciated much in Scotland, I believe these items are.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16Ten, 12, 15, 18, 20.
0:21:16 > 0:21:1922, 25, 28, 30 over here. 30.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22At £30 now. 35, 38, 40.
0:21:22 > 0:21:2440 in the room.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27The room at 40. In the room at 40 now...
0:21:27 > 0:21:32Are you back in? I'll take your two, sir. He'll give you a kiss!
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- 42.- £2 for a kiss!
0:21:35 > 0:21:37That is that at 42.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44An incredible profit, straight off the blocks.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47- Doubled my money.- You doubled your money and more.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51No pressure on Raj, then, for his Art Nouveau brooch up next.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Oh, wonderful lot!
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Wonderful, wonderful lot, this is!
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Tenner for it? Ten for it. Ten, 12, 15.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05At 15... 18, 20 22,
0:22:05 > 0:22:11at 22. 25, 28, 30, 30, 32 over here.
0:22:11 > 0:22:1232, 35.
0:22:12 > 0:22:17Keep it going! 40. 45, 50, 55.
0:22:17 > 0:22:1960, stick with it, go 60.
0:22:19 > 0:22:2260. And five again, 65.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24At 65, here in front at 65.
0:22:24 > 0:22:2770, 75.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29It's in the room at 75, are you back in at 80?
0:22:29 > 0:22:33- 80, over there at 80.- Could be, could be, could be.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35I sell the far end at 80.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37All done at 80.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39- Hooray!- Thank you!
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Crikey Moses, Raj has almost quadrupled his money
0:22:43 > 0:22:44on his first item!
0:22:45 > 0:22:50£80, that is brilliant.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55Can Raj's butter knife set do just as well?
0:22:55 > 0:22:58A tenner for it? Straight in at 10. Tenner bid, at ten, take two.
0:22:58 > 0:23:0112, 15, 18, 20, 22,
0:23:01 > 0:23:0322, 25,
0:23:03 > 0:23:0528, over there at 28 now.
0:23:05 > 0:23:0630, back at 30.
0:23:06 > 0:23:0832, 32.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12All done at £32.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17It's not a profit after auction costs, sadly.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20- Still a profit.- You have to be grateful it's a profit.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Next up is Anita's agate pillbox.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Ten, 12, 15, 18, over there at 18.
0:23:26 > 0:23:2820, 22, 25, 28, 30.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31They're going, they're going!
0:23:31 > 0:23:3435 here.
0:23:34 > 0:23:3738. 40, 45? 40.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40It's 45, new money at 45.
0:23:40 > 0:23:4350, and again 55?
0:23:43 > 0:23:46- 55.- Wow!- 60. 65?
0:23:46 > 0:23:48At 60, I sell against you at 60.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51- 65!- Yes!
0:23:53 > 0:23:56I sell then at £65.
0:23:58 > 0:24:03- Wow, that is a... - I'm happy with that!
0:24:03 > 0:24:07I mean, who wouldn't be? Anita's more than doubled her money again.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Fantastic, fantastic!
0:24:09 > 0:24:13Now we're back for Raj and his silver frame.
0:24:13 > 0:24:1630, and £30 now, take a two.
0:24:16 > 0:24:1732, 35, 38.
0:24:17 > 0:24:2038, and 40.
0:24:20 > 0:24:2540. 45, at 45, stick with it, madam.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27At 45, 50!
0:24:28 > 0:24:32Stick with it, 55? At 55, make him pay, madam!
0:24:33 > 0:24:35At 55, are you in at 60?
0:24:35 > 0:24:37- Don't give in now!- 60!
0:24:37 > 0:24:4065? At 65 now?
0:24:40 > 0:24:43At £65, all gone at 65.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Raj has more than doubled his money, too.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50What an auction, eh?
0:24:50 > 0:24:53And that was the one that we were worried about.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57Next up, it's Anita's terracotta figure group.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01Tenner for it? Tenner bid, ten, 12. 15, I've got. 18 off you.
0:25:01 > 0:25:0318, over there at 18 now.
0:25:03 > 0:25:04And I sell it at 18, 20.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08At 20. 22 now, at the back at 22.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12Back of the room at 22.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16All done at £22.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19After auction costs, that's a small loss for Anita.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22I'm disappointed.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24I shouldn't be, but I am disappointed.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28- I am, that was worth more!- Well.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Let's see if Raj's ladies' purse can do any better.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Auctioneer David didn't hold out much hope.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Ten. I've got ten in the room.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Further bid off the net. At ten, take two, 12.
0:25:38 > 0:25:4015? Are you all together?
0:25:40 > 0:25:4115 with her, then, 18 off you.
0:25:41 > 0:25:4415 the lady. 18, 20.
0:25:45 > 0:25:4722 down here.
0:25:47 > 0:25:5025, 30, lady at 30.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52On the sofa at 30, selling at 30.
0:25:54 > 0:25:59Crikey! Raj is on fire today with his fourth consecutive profit.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01You've trebled your blooming money!
0:26:03 > 0:26:04Let's see if Anita can do the same
0:26:04 > 0:26:07with her rather jazzy Bakelite napkin rings.
0:26:07 > 0:26:0920, 22, 25.
0:26:09 > 0:26:1225? 28, 30,
0:26:12 > 0:26:1730. 32, 35. 35.
0:26:17 > 0:26:1938, 40, 45.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21At 45, one more will get it.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- Just one more and you'll get it. - Come on!
0:26:24 > 0:26:2650, there at 50.
0:26:26 > 0:26:27At 50, you sure?
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Standing at the back at 50, no-one else?
0:26:29 > 0:26:30Done and finished at 50.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34- Yes!- That's it, 50. Brilliant, well done.
0:26:34 > 0:26:39Crikey, it could be a close call, this one.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41I've still got my star lot to come!
0:26:41 > 0:26:44It's all down to the two last items,
0:26:44 > 0:26:46the first of which is Anita's giant spoon.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49I can't wait for this!
0:26:49 > 0:26:50Start me at a tenner. Ten, I'm bid.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52At ten, take two, ten, 12.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56At 12 now, 15, 18, 20, 22, 20 over there.
0:26:56 > 0:26:5922? 25.
0:26:59 > 0:27:0128, 30, 32?
0:27:01 > 0:27:0435, 35 here. 38? 38.
0:27:04 > 0:27:0640, 45,
0:27:06 > 0:27:08at 40, the bids are at 40.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10- It's worth more than that! - This is cheap! At 40.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Come on, it's worth more than that, look at the size of it!
0:27:13 > 0:27:1745. 42, 45,
0:27:17 > 0:27:19over at 45. Make it 48?
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Go 48, she'll go 50, you know she will.
0:27:22 > 0:27:2446, now 50.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26With the lady at 50.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29I'm selling at 50, I'll take the two again.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31At 50, done at 50.
0:27:36 > 0:27:37That's good, well done.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43Last but not least is Raj's beautiful gems book.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47Now, can he make it five profits in a row?
0:27:47 > 0:27:5120, 25, 30, 35, 40...
0:27:51 > 0:27:53There's more bidders at the back.
0:27:53 > 0:27:5860, 65, 70, 75, 80...
0:27:58 > 0:28:0075, I sell...
0:28:00 > 0:28:0280, 85.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05At 85... 90 over here.
0:28:05 > 0:28:0695?
0:28:06 > 0:28:08At 90. It's in the room at 90.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Net, where are you now?
0:28:10 > 0:28:1395. 100, room at 100.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15In the room at 100.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Look at that smile!
0:28:17 > 0:28:20110, 120 room.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22The internet's in as well.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25140. Net?
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Come on, net, 150.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Sir, don't let the net get it!
0:28:29 > 0:28:33Goes then at 150, all done at £150 on the net.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38- Wow!- A good buy, well done!
0:28:38 > 0:28:41My goodness, an unbelievable £120 profit.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44Amazing job, Raj. You are a gem.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47- Happy, happy, happy?- Yeah.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51- I like to see you happy!- Happy, I'm a happy Raj, I'm a happy Raj.
0:28:51 > 0:28:57Anita began with £200, and after auction costs she's made £99.78,
0:28:57 > 0:29:04leaving her with a lovely £299.78 to spend next time.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07Raj started with the same amount and after taking auction costs into
0:29:07 > 0:29:11account, he made £170.74.
0:29:11 > 0:29:16A staggering £370.74.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20Plenty of cash for our top auctioneering twosome
0:29:20 > 0:29:24to spend as we head into another day and another leg.
0:29:24 > 0:29:28Well, Raj, we've got plenty of dosh in our pockets.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32We did so well yesterday.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34Is it the big spend today?
0:29:34 > 0:29:36Well, I think so.
0:29:36 > 0:29:40Today's leg begins in Sheringham in Norfolk, with their second auction
0:29:40 > 0:29:44taking them south to Stansted Mountfitchet in Essex.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46So, Raj, you're full of beans today,
0:29:46 > 0:29:49but there's a special reason for that.
0:29:49 > 0:29:54- I believe it's your birthday, darling?- It is indeed, it is indeed.
0:29:54 > 0:29:59# Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you
0:29:59 > 0:30:04# Happy birthday, Mr Bisram...
0:30:04 > 0:30:06- # Happy birthday to you! - Happy birthday to you. #
0:30:06 > 0:30:09- Whoa!- Oh, lovely.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11Who needs Marilyn Monroe, eh?
0:30:11 > 0:30:12Here we go.
0:30:14 > 0:30:15Oh, this is lovely.
0:30:15 > 0:30:20- Raj, they've put out the bunting for us.- What more could you want?
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Anita's first shop today is
0:30:22 > 0:30:25Sheringham Collectables, run by Barry. Hello!
0:30:25 > 0:30:27- Hello.- Hello.- Hi, I'm Anita.
0:30:27 > 0:30:32- Hello, Anita.- This is just looking absolutely wonderful.
0:30:32 > 0:30:37I think I'm going to have to take my bonnet off and my gloves off.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40She definitely means business, this woman.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42From glassware to china, jewellery and militaria,
0:30:42 > 0:30:44the shop sells all things collectable.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49This is quite an interesting wee item.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52It's a top-hat brush.
0:30:53 > 0:30:58It is hallmarked silver and it is embossed with the family
0:30:58 > 0:31:01at the table eating, drinking.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05So, it's a nice domestic scene.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07I think I might have a go at that.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11But first, Anita's got her eye on those cabinets again.
0:31:11 > 0:31:15Could I have a look at the enamelled dressing table set
0:31:15 > 0:31:19and also the Masonic locket?
0:31:19 > 0:31:21Well, there's the Masonic locket.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Thank you.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26I rather like the look of this.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29At the front, we have the dividers,
0:31:29 > 0:31:35which are a Masonic symbol, and this rather attractive cornucopia.
0:31:35 > 0:31:40It belonged to Brother William Jones in 1944.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44It's fully hallmarked at the bottom
0:31:44 > 0:31:48and, though it might have a limited appeal, I like it.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51One to consider. Now, what about that dressing table set?
0:31:54 > 0:31:58So, the important thing about, er...enamelled ware
0:31:58 > 0:32:02- is that it shouldn't have any damage, really, isn't it?- Yes.
0:32:02 > 0:32:06- A bit of damage on the mirror. - That's a shame,
0:32:06 > 0:32:10because the mirror's probably one of the most important pieces.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12- Yes. - And we've got some damage there.
0:32:12 > 0:32:17- Damage there.- But it's a rather pretty pattern, with
0:32:17 > 0:32:22- the garlands of flowers...- Yeah. - ..and the brush has got a kind of
0:32:22 > 0:32:24wee scuff on it as well. So I've got...
0:32:26 > 0:32:28..three pieces with damage.
0:32:28 > 0:32:33Anita's rather keen on this dressing table set, marked up at £45,
0:32:33 > 0:32:35the Masonic pendant at 30
0:32:35 > 0:32:40and the top-hat brush at 38, totalling £113.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42So, can she get a deal for the three?
0:32:42 > 0:32:46Could we be anywhere near £50 on these?
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Um, how about 55?
0:32:48 > 0:32:53- 55. I think that's smashing. - Yeah?- I'm happy with that.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55So that's £55 for the three.
0:32:55 > 0:32:59A marvellous £58 off for Anita.
0:32:59 > 0:33:03Meanwhile, Raj is in the former weaving town
0:33:03 > 0:33:05of North Walsham to visit...
0:33:05 > 0:33:08Wait a minute, where's he going? The garden centre?
0:33:08 > 0:33:10I've just stopped at a garden centre.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13It's not really the place you look for antiques, but you never know.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16Blimey, what's he up to now?
0:33:16 > 0:33:19A sack of peat? A phone box?
0:33:19 > 0:33:21That's exactly what I'm talking about.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Something that's a bit unusual
0:33:23 > 0:33:28that you wouldn't find in a place like this - an old telephone box.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30Ring-ring! How's that, eh?
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Ben's the man to call today. Hello, Ben.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35- Hi.- Hello!- Are you the owner? - Yes, I am.- This is fantastic.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37- This is just the thing I'm looking for.- OK.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40Give me an idea what kind of money you would be expecting for it?
0:33:40 > 0:33:43Um...1,000-1,500?
0:33:43 > 0:33:47- I've got about 300... Just over £330.- Right, OK.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50Is there any way we're going to be able to do a deal?
0:33:50 > 0:33:52I don't think I could do it for that.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54But Ben thinks he might have something else
0:33:54 > 0:33:56that might tickle Raj's fancy.
0:33:56 > 0:34:00Right, I managed to dig out an old apple picker.
0:34:00 > 0:34:04Um, we tend to get items like this to put out on display.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06You know, it's a nice piece of...
0:34:06 > 0:34:11old agricultural collector's item, really. How much can you do it for?
0:34:11 > 0:34:15- £10?- £5 and we've got a deal. - Yeah, OK, we can do that.- Yeah?
0:34:15 > 0:34:18- Yeah, sounds good.- We have a deal. - A lovely job.- Thank you, Ben.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21And that is Raj's first buy of the trip.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23An apple picker bag for a fiver.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26Back with Anita now, who's made her way to Stalham,
0:34:26 > 0:34:31the northern gateway to 125 miles of navigable waterways
0:34:31 > 0:34:33known as the Norfolk broads.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37But Anita's here to navigate her way around more familiar territory
0:34:37 > 0:34:39and local antique delights
0:34:39 > 0:34:42at Stalham Antique Gallery, run by Mike.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44- Hello!- Oh, hello.
0:34:44 > 0:34:48- Welcome to Stalham.- Oh, it's lovely, lovely, lovely to be here.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51How lovely! With over 35 years in the trade,
0:34:51 > 0:34:56Mike has a passion for pieces from the 17th to the 19th century.
0:34:56 > 0:35:02Well, this just looks like the teddy bears' picnic!
0:35:02 > 0:35:05Isn't this absolutely delightful?
0:35:05 > 0:35:08This little chair, I like particularly.
0:35:08 > 0:35:13It's a little child deckchair, or steamer chair.
0:35:13 > 0:35:17It's probably from the late 19th, early 20th century.
0:35:17 > 0:35:21A wee bit of damage there, which is a wee bit worrying.
0:35:21 > 0:35:25But I also like this lovely pokerwork table
0:35:25 > 0:35:29that all the teddy bears are sitting around.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32Now, this is early 20th century,
0:35:32 > 0:35:36and here we have an image of a pretty girl.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41The little table has bobbin turned legs,
0:35:41 > 0:35:46and further pokerwork decoration on the understage.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51People like miniature things.
0:35:51 > 0:35:55With no price on it, Anita calls Mike over.
0:35:55 > 0:36:02Is this something that I could buy for not a lot of money?
0:36:02 > 0:36:09I think it's worth about £100, but, to you, maybe a bit less.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11I'd like you to beat your competitor.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15- Oh, thank you, darling! - So I think, today, we'll say £40.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17- Will we say 40? - SHE GASPS
0:36:17 > 0:36:19That is a wonderful deal.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21- Have we got a deal? - We've got a deal.
0:36:21 > 0:36:26Scorching. That's £40 for the late-19th-century pokerwork table.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29Meanwhile, Raj has made his way half a mile further down the road to
0:36:29 > 0:36:32a more traditional Road Trip stop in North Walsham,
0:36:32 > 0:36:35at Timeline Antiques Centre, run by Michael.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Hello. Michael?
0:36:37 > 0:36:38- Hello, Raj.- Hi, nice to meet you.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41The centre is home to several different dealers,
0:36:41 > 0:36:44stocking both small and large antiques.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48I'm wondering if I could maybe put Anita in these?
0:36:51 > 0:36:53I don't think she'd appreciate it, really.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57No, me neither. Best move on.
0:36:57 > 0:37:02I've seen a really nice pair of scallop-rounded dishes, Crown Derby,
0:37:02 > 0:37:06which I quite like as well, in one of these cabinets here.
0:37:07 > 0:37:11Raj calls on Michael's assistance to take a closer look.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14These are nice, and are they in perfect condition?
0:37:14 > 0:37:16This one feels like it is.
0:37:17 > 0:37:21For their age, they're in really good condition, yeah.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24- Talking about 1806...- Yeah! - ..that sort of date.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26Yeah, they're nice, I quite like them.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29The ticket price is £78.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31What can you do these for, Michael?
0:37:31 > 0:37:36- Because I bought them well...- Mm-hm? - ..um, I could let those go for £30.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38I would normally say, "Can you do a little bit better?"
0:37:38 > 0:37:41because it's just in my nature, OK?
0:37:41 > 0:37:44But, on this occasion, at £30...
0:37:46 > 0:37:47..I'm going to shake your hand.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50- That's wonderful, thank you. - Thank you very much indeed, Michael.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53That's a fair, fair price, so...lovely!
0:37:53 > 0:37:55But Raj isn't done just yet. Oh, no.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58Have you got anything that's apple-related?
0:37:58 > 0:37:59Weird question.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04- Er...- Because I'll tell you why. I've bought a lot already.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07It's just a simple apple picker, and I wanted to know if I could buy
0:38:07 > 0:38:11anything that was apple-connected to put with it to bulk the lot up.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13I've got a preserve pot in the shape of an apple.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16Oh, you could be onto something.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19Yep, a silver-plated EPNS apple sauce pot.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22Yeah, it's not a lot of money. I mean, what could you do that for?
0:38:22 > 0:38:24A fiver?
0:38:24 > 0:38:27A fiver? Yes, I'll have that as well.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29- Well done. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:38:29 > 0:38:34So that's £35 for a pair of early 19th-century scalloped Derby dishes
0:38:34 > 0:38:36and an apple preserve pot.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40On that fruity note, it's time to get some shut-eye, Antiquers.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42Nighty night.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46Wakey-wakey, rise and shine!
0:38:46 > 0:38:49It's another beautiful day for treasure hunting.
0:38:50 > 0:38:54# On the road again, Raj! We're on the road again
0:38:54 > 0:38:56# We're on the road We're on the road
0:38:56 > 0:38:59# We're on the road again! #
0:38:59 > 0:39:01And in high spirits.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04This morning, the jolly duo are
0:39:04 > 0:39:06taking the Triumph Spitfire to Norwich,
0:39:06 > 0:39:08Norfolk's county town.
0:39:08 > 0:39:12Based just outside Norwich city centre is East Anglia's largest
0:39:12 > 0:39:14dealer-based antiques and collectables centre -
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Looses Emporium.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Patrick is at the helm today.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20- Hello, Patrick, is it?- Yes, it is.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22- Hi, Raj, nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25- What a place!- It is.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27It looks enormous!
0:39:27 > 0:39:29It is. With plenty to peruse,
0:39:29 > 0:39:34and Raj has just over £330 in his back pocket.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38These fairground, these... Old 1940s, I guess?
0:39:38 > 0:39:40Yeah, probably a little bit earlier, some of them.
0:39:40 > 0:39:44- I know they're collectable. - They are collectable at the moment, yeah.
0:39:44 > 0:39:45They don't often come on the market.
0:39:45 > 0:39:49- RAJ SIGHS - I'd do you one for £200.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51That's what they cost me, each.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54I mean, I have to say,
0:39:54 > 0:39:56I am tempted by them, they are slightly different.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59I mean, actually, I just noticed that...
0:39:59 > 0:40:02- That motorbike one. - Yeah, that's the one I'd want.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04You see, then, if I bought something like that,
0:40:04 > 0:40:07then I'd be looking for two different markets,
0:40:07 > 0:40:09not only the fairground market, the decorative market...
0:40:09 > 0:40:12- Mmm, motorbike people.- ..but also the motorbike people, as well.
0:40:12 > 0:40:17It's a little bit risky for me, but will you take £150 cash for them?
0:40:19 > 0:40:20I can do 180.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24What about split the difference - 160?
0:40:26 > 0:40:29- I can't risk too much.- Go on, then. - 160?- Go on, then.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31- We've got a deal.- Got a deal.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Very kind, Patrick. Anita was right.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36It seems Raj is spending big today and he's not finished yet.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39It's dealer Roy's turn now.
0:40:39 > 0:40:43Is it possible I could have a look at this, I guess, paper knife,
0:40:43 > 0:40:45- I think you'd call it? - Are you over 18?- I'm over 18!
0:40:45 > 0:40:48Only just, though, only just.
0:40:48 > 0:40:49In your dreams!
0:40:49 > 0:40:52Yeah, what I noticed, and it is as well,
0:40:52 > 0:40:56- is the engraving here of the tennis player.- Mm-hm.
0:40:56 > 0:40:57- Unusual.- It IS unusual.
0:40:57 > 0:41:02- I would guess, from the blade, probably '60s or '70s.- OK.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04- Not a particularly old piece, but unusual.- No.
0:41:04 > 0:41:08- It is unusual. I mean, it's a great maker.- Mm-hm.- Wilkinson.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11- That is definitely quite a nice quality item.- Yeah.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13What could you do this for?
0:41:16 > 0:41:21Erm...the very best would be 40. And that's half-price.
0:41:22 > 0:41:26Could I possibly offer you 35 for it?
0:41:26 > 0:41:27It would be cash.
0:41:31 > 0:41:32- Yes.- Yes?
0:41:32 > 0:41:36- At £35...- Leaving me a little bit of meat on the bone, as they say.
0:41:36 > 0:41:37I'm going to shake your hand.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40- Thank you very much indeed. - No problem.- Thank you very much.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43So that's £35 for the engraved paper knife
0:41:43 > 0:41:47and 160 for the early 20th-century fairground motorcycle ride.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50- Thank you very much indeed. - Thank you.
0:41:50 > 0:41:54- Thank you for showing me around. - That's all right. I hope you do ever so well with it.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Still in Norwich, Anita's here to find out
0:41:56 > 0:41:58about a little-known local lad
0:41:58 > 0:42:03who was once an entertainer and film star, famous the world over.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06To tell Anita more about this forgotten pioneer
0:42:06 > 0:42:10of stage and screen is local historian and author Philip Yaxley.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13- Hi, Philip. - Lovely to see you, Anita.
0:42:13 > 0:42:17It's lovely to be here in this wonderful square,
0:42:17 > 0:42:21with Norwich Cathedral here and the marvellous Norwich School.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25William Vernon Blyth was born in 1887.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28After attending Norwich School,
0:42:28 > 0:42:32he sought fame and fortune as a magician and comedian in London.
0:42:32 > 0:42:36His sister, Coralie, was already big in the West End theatre scene,
0:42:36 > 0:42:42but in 1906, she went to America and took 19-year-old Vernon along.
0:42:42 > 0:42:46He got a small part in one of her plays, leading to other roles,
0:42:46 > 0:42:47which not only impressed his peers,
0:42:47 > 0:42:50but also wannabe actress, Irene Foote,
0:42:50 > 0:42:51who went on to become his wife.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56Was he successful at that time before he met Irene?
0:42:56 > 0:43:00He was becoming more and more well-known on the Broadway stage.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02They got married in May 1911,
0:43:02 > 0:43:05and they became more and more successful.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08Vernon Castle, as he was now known, and wife, Irene,
0:43:08 > 0:43:10went on to act in Paris.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12Whilst there, they made the move
0:43:12 > 0:43:14from acting to dancing, after getting a slot
0:43:14 > 0:43:19at elegant Parisian dining and dancing revue Cafe de Paris.
0:43:19 > 0:43:24At the time, intimate animal-named dances, like the turkey trot,
0:43:24 > 0:43:28were all the rage, but the Castles tamed these dances,
0:43:28 > 0:43:30refining and popularising them.
0:43:30 > 0:43:34When they returned to America, their careers continued to skyrocket.
0:43:34 > 0:43:391914 was a very, very big year - the pinnacle of their success.
0:43:39 > 0:43:43They issued the bestselling book, Modern Dancing.
0:43:43 > 0:43:48And they did a whirlwind tour of American cities, 35 -
0:43:48 > 0:43:51some people call it 32 - cities in 28 days!
0:43:51 > 0:43:54And, everywhere they went, there were big banners,
0:43:54 > 0:43:57"The Castles are coming, hooray, hooray!" and big crowds!
0:43:57 > 0:44:00Equate it to the Beatles in 1964.
0:44:00 > 0:44:04They were young, they were talented, they were beautiful,
0:44:04 > 0:44:07and everyone wanted to copy what they were doing.
0:44:07 > 0:44:10Yes, with all their endorsements and fashion,
0:44:10 > 0:44:13they weren't just the Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire of that time,
0:44:13 > 0:44:17but heavens they were, but they were also the Posh and Becks.
0:44:17 > 0:44:20Vernon wrote a film, called The Whirl of Life.
0:44:20 > 0:44:23A huge hit, both at home and abroad,
0:44:23 > 0:44:27even Fred Astaire admitted Vernon was his dancing inspiration.
0:44:27 > 0:44:29To tell and show Anita more is
0:44:29 > 0:44:33professional ballroom dancer Sasha Zagovsky.
0:44:33 > 0:44:37Tell me what the popular dances of that time were.
0:44:37 > 0:44:40Well, really, as a reaction to the stiff formality
0:44:40 > 0:44:43of the Victorian age, the animal dances had become very popular,
0:44:43 > 0:44:46and we had everything from the bunny hug
0:44:46 > 0:44:49to the chicken scratch to the kangaroo hop.
0:44:49 > 0:44:52The one that survives to today, of course, is the foxtrot.
0:44:52 > 0:44:54The Castles refined all of these dances
0:44:54 > 0:44:56and made them much more acceptable.
0:44:56 > 0:45:00Give it a go, then, Anita. If I can do it, anyone can.
0:45:00 > 0:45:01Eight steps.
0:45:03 > 0:45:06And then, from there, achieve a rotation.
0:45:06 > 0:45:08Not one I ever did on Strictly.
0:45:08 > 0:45:12- We breeze along happily, as Vernon Castle says in his book.- Great fun!
0:45:12 > 0:45:17You back away from each other. You run around me, Anita.
0:45:17 > 0:45:21We wind up, I turn to meet you, we do a lovely little dance pose.
0:45:21 > 0:45:23- Aw! - SHE LAUGHS
0:45:23 > 0:45:24Seven!
0:45:26 > 0:45:31So what influence did they have from that time up to today?
0:45:31 > 0:45:36Really it's the idea of style, polish, poise,
0:45:36 > 0:45:38elegance and technique.
0:45:38 > 0:45:42All of those things! Really, without the Castles,
0:45:42 > 0:45:46we wouldn't have ballroom dancing today, and probably no Strictly.
0:45:46 > 0:45:48And that would be a shame.
0:45:48 > 0:45:52Vernon died in 1918, serving his country in World War I.
0:45:52 > 0:45:57Irene retired from public life a few years later, but lived until 1969.
0:45:57 > 0:45:59Just over 20 years after Vernon's death,
0:45:59 > 0:46:03their story was memorialised when Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers
0:46:03 > 0:46:07starred in The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle.
0:46:07 > 0:46:11This local Norwich boy may no longer be well-known,
0:46:11 > 0:46:15but without him pioneering a clean-cut but fun dancing style,
0:46:15 > 0:46:18ballroom dancing wouldn't be what it is today.
0:46:23 > 0:46:27In the meanwhile, Raj has whizzed southwest of Norwich to Wymondham.
0:46:27 > 0:46:32He's here to check out a local gem, Market Cross Antiques, run by David.
0:46:32 > 0:46:35- Hello there.- Hello, how are you? - David, is it?- It certainly is.
0:46:35 > 0:46:36- I'm Raj.- How'd you do?
0:46:36 > 0:46:39There's three showrooms' worth of stock to choose from.
0:46:43 > 0:46:45What have you got there?
0:46:45 > 0:46:48This is a piece of West German pottery.
0:46:48 > 0:46:50At the time, it wasn't very, very popular,
0:46:50 > 0:46:53but it seems to have become more and more popular now.
0:46:53 > 0:46:56It's got a ticket price of £35 for it.
0:46:56 > 0:46:58There's a few bob in it.
0:46:58 > 0:47:01One to think about. Maybe try another room.
0:47:03 > 0:47:06These are a little bit different, a pair of saddles.
0:47:06 > 0:47:09One for me, one for Anita. We could go riding off into the sunshine.
0:47:10 > 0:47:12Time to find David.
0:47:12 > 0:47:14- I've seen the pair of saddles. - Oh, yeah?
0:47:14 > 0:47:17You've got £20 on each. What's the best?
0:47:19 > 0:47:21I'd do the pair for 20.
0:47:21 > 0:47:23- The pair for 20? - That's gotta be cheap.
0:47:23 > 0:47:26Could I squeeze you to 15 for the two?
0:47:26 > 0:47:29- Yeah, go on.- Are you sure?- Yeah. - I want you to be happy as well.
0:47:29 > 0:47:31- Yeah.- Yeah? Are you sure?- Yeah.
0:47:31 > 0:47:36Yee-ha! That's £15 for the two old leather saddles.
0:47:36 > 0:47:39- Thank you very much indeed. - I hope you have some luck with them.
0:47:39 > 0:47:42Back with Anita now, who's making her way to Panxworth,
0:47:42 > 0:47:45with just over £200 to spend
0:47:45 > 0:47:46at her final stop of the day.
0:47:46 > 0:47:48Frankly Frank's the man in charge, so here we go.
0:47:48 > 0:47:50Hello, I'm Anita.
0:47:50 > 0:47:53- Hi, Frank, nice to meet you. - Oh, it's lovely to meet you too.
0:47:53 > 0:47:56This is an astonishing place.
0:47:56 > 0:48:00The centre combines architectural salvage with antiquities and curiosities.
0:48:00 > 0:48:04Plenty to pique Anita's interest and, yes,
0:48:04 > 0:48:06she's already found something.
0:48:06 > 0:48:13There are so many things in here which are huge and heavy.
0:48:13 > 0:48:16But this is a nice, wee chest.
0:48:16 > 0:48:18It needs a bit of TLC
0:48:18 > 0:48:24but it's a good, honest, wee 19th-century piece here.
0:48:24 > 0:48:27It's made of pine and it has these
0:48:27 > 0:48:32iron strapping affairs here.
0:48:32 > 0:48:36And look! Two wee carrying handles.
0:48:36 > 0:48:38Isn't that sweet?
0:48:38 > 0:48:40With no ticket price, it's time to call Frank.
0:48:40 > 0:48:41Frank!
0:48:43 > 0:48:45I've spotted this wee miniature chest here.
0:48:45 > 0:48:47Oh, yeah, a lovely little pine box.
0:48:47 > 0:48:50Uh-huh. There is no price on it just now.
0:48:50 > 0:48:53What I'd like to pay for it is £20.
0:48:53 > 0:48:56Is that coming anywhere near
0:48:56 > 0:48:58what you're...?
0:48:58 > 0:49:01We have it listed online for 65.
0:49:01 > 0:49:04- Erm...- 65. Oh, but it's still online at 65.
0:49:04 > 0:49:06- It hasn't sold.- You're quite right.
0:49:06 > 0:49:08I can meet you at £30.
0:49:08 > 0:49:11Could you come down even a wee bit more?
0:49:11 > 0:49:14Just a wee bit more to 25?
0:49:14 > 0:49:16How about we split the difference?
0:49:16 > 0:49:19- 27.50.- 27.50.
0:49:19 > 0:49:21- Put it there.- It's a hard bargain.
0:49:21 > 0:49:23Thank you, thank you.
0:49:23 > 0:49:27Deal done. £27.50 for the miniature pine chest.
0:49:27 > 0:49:29- Thank you very much.- You're welcome. Good luck at the auction.
0:49:29 > 0:49:32And, with that, shopping is complete.
0:49:32 > 0:49:34Let's take a peek at our experts' treasures.
0:49:34 > 0:49:38Along with the pine box, Anita bought a Masonic pendant,
0:49:38 > 0:49:42a top-hat brush, an enamelled dressing-table set,
0:49:42 > 0:49:47and a Victorian pokerwork table for £122.50.
0:49:47 > 0:49:52Raj spent £250 on an apple picker bag and preserve pot,
0:49:52 > 0:49:55a pair of 19th-century Derby china dishes,
0:49:55 > 0:49:59an early 20th-century fairground ride, an engraved paperknife,
0:49:59 > 0:50:01and two old leather saddles.
0:50:01 > 0:50:02So, what do they think?
0:50:02 > 0:50:06I think Raj has bought really well this time.
0:50:06 > 0:50:09I love those Derby dishes.
0:50:09 > 0:50:13A pair. They're the right period. He's got to double his money.
0:50:13 > 0:50:18The silver and enamelled dressing-table set is definitely good quality
0:50:18 > 0:50:21but I've spotted a little bit of damage. So we'll see how that goes.
0:50:21 > 0:50:22Well, let's find out.
0:50:22 > 0:50:24After starting in Sheringham, Norfolk,
0:50:24 > 0:50:30Anita and Raj are now nearing their second auction in Stansted Mountfitchet, Essex.
0:50:30 > 0:50:31Try and say that quickly!
0:50:31 > 0:50:32Looks spectacular, doesn't it?
0:50:32 > 0:50:35- Lots of cars as well.- Yes, it does. Oh, it's going to be busy, Raj.
0:50:35 > 0:50:37Oh, it is going to be busy for sure.
0:50:37 > 0:50:39OK, here we go. Well, good luck today.
0:50:39 > 0:50:41Let's go and make some money.
0:50:41 > 0:50:44Today's gal with a gavel is Prudence Hopkins.
0:50:44 > 0:50:47The pokerwork table is a very nice lot.
0:50:47 > 0:50:50It's interesting and hopefully, it will do well on the day.
0:50:50 > 0:50:54The fairground motorcycle is my favourite lot.
0:50:54 > 0:50:59I think it's an interior piece, so I think that's our winner.
0:50:59 > 0:51:02Take your seats. It's time to see what both the local clientele and
0:51:02 > 0:51:04internet bidders think.
0:51:04 > 0:51:07First up is Anita's Masonic pendant.
0:51:09 > 0:51:11I'm straight in at £20.
0:51:11 > 0:51:13£20 is bid.
0:51:13 > 0:51:15- Already, fantastic. - Do I see 25 anywhere?
0:51:15 > 0:51:16£20 is bid.
0:51:16 > 0:51:1825 is yours, sir.
0:51:18 > 0:51:19£25 now in the room.
0:51:19 > 0:51:23- Another one.- We'll sell it, then, at £25. Make no mistake.
0:51:23 > 0:51:26It's a solid profit, straight off the bat, for Anita.
0:51:26 > 0:51:28A little profit on it.
0:51:28 > 0:51:34We knew it wasn't going to fly but at least it's paid for its lunch.
0:51:34 > 0:51:37Sticking with Anita, it's her silver top-hat brush.
0:51:37 > 0:51:39Pretty thing, this one.
0:51:39 > 0:51:41£20 for this one.
0:51:41 > 0:51:4220.
0:51:42 > 0:51:45- Oh, no, they don't like it. - Ten, then. Take it away today.
0:51:45 > 0:51:46£10 for this one.
0:51:46 > 0:51:50£10 is bid. Thank you. 15 now on the internet.
0:51:50 > 0:51:5220. 25 to bid, internet.
0:51:52 > 0:51:54- Yeah.- I have £20.
0:51:54 > 0:51:56£20 in the room, then.
0:51:56 > 0:51:5825 now on the internet.
0:51:58 > 0:51:5930?
0:51:59 > 0:52:01£25, then.
0:52:01 > 0:52:03On the internet, they'll take it at 25.
0:52:05 > 0:52:08It's another profit for Anita.
0:52:08 > 0:52:10I thought it might go a little further.
0:52:10 > 0:52:14Listen, you've sold two things and you made a profit on each one.
0:52:14 > 0:52:17If I get to that position, I'll be happy as well, OK?
0:52:18 > 0:52:22Well, let's see, eh, as Raj's Derby dishes are next.
0:52:23 > 0:52:25£20 for these.
0:52:25 > 0:52:2820...£20 is bid.
0:52:28 > 0:52:30Thank you. Do I see five anywhere?
0:52:30 > 0:52:32£20 is now bid.
0:52:32 > 0:52:33The room goes silent.
0:52:33 > 0:52:36We will sell them, maiden bid at 20.
0:52:37 > 0:52:39Oh, dear. That's got to hurt.
0:52:40 > 0:52:42Does my face looked disappointed?
0:52:42 > 0:52:44- Yup.- £20?
0:52:44 > 0:52:45I know.
0:52:45 > 0:52:47£20? Did I hear right?
0:52:47 > 0:52:48Afraid so, fella!
0:52:48 > 0:52:52But maybe his apple picker bag and preserve holder will do better.
0:52:52 > 0:52:5320 for this.
0:52:53 > 0:52:56- Come on!- Ten, then, take it away today.
0:52:56 > 0:52:58£10.
0:52:58 > 0:53:00£10 today.
0:53:00 > 0:53:01Five, then.
0:53:01 > 0:53:04- £5. Any interest? £5. Thanks, sir. - Do they grow apples in Essex?
0:53:04 > 0:53:06Do I see ten anywhere?
0:53:06 > 0:53:09We'll sell it, then, at £5, maiden bid.
0:53:11 > 0:53:14Second loss for Raj. Ouch!
0:53:14 > 0:53:15Oh, darling...
0:53:15 > 0:53:17I must be still asleep.
0:53:17 > 0:53:20OK? I'm going to wake up in a minute, aren't I?
0:53:20 > 0:53:24Let's go back to Anita and see if she's still on her lucky streak
0:53:24 > 0:53:26with her pokerwork table.
0:53:26 > 0:53:28£40 for this one.
0:53:28 > 0:53:30£40 is bid.
0:53:30 > 0:53:31Thank you. Do I see five? 45.
0:53:31 > 0:53:34- Straight in at 40.- Straight in at 40.- Straight in at 40.
0:53:34 > 0:53:3550...
0:53:35 > 0:53:3855. 60.
0:53:38 > 0:53:40£60 now with the lady. 65, new bidder.
0:53:40 > 0:53:42Well done again.
0:53:42 > 0:53:44- 70.- 70?- 75.
0:53:44 > 0:53:4580.
0:53:46 > 0:53:4885.
0:53:48 > 0:53:4990.
0:53:49 > 0:53:51- Yes!- £90, then, with the lady...
0:53:51 > 0:53:52Well done. Well done.
0:53:52 > 0:53:54I'm coming shopping with you.
0:53:54 > 0:53:56Take it away today at £90.
0:53:56 > 0:54:00Great stuff. Anita's more than doubled her money.
0:54:00 > 0:54:02You certainly are brilliant.
0:54:02 > 0:54:05Maybe Raj's luck will turn with his engraved paperknife.
0:54:06 > 0:54:11And I can start the bidding straight in at £25.
0:54:11 > 0:54:12£25 is bid.
0:54:12 > 0:54:15- Paid 35 for it.- Do I see 30 anywhere? 30.
0:54:15 > 0:54:1735 with me.
0:54:17 > 0:54:18- Come on.- 40, sir.- Yes.
0:54:18 > 0:54:2040 is yours.
0:54:20 > 0:54:21£40, then, in the room.
0:54:21 > 0:54:23It's quiet, everyone else.
0:54:23 > 0:54:25We'll sell it at 40.
0:54:26 > 0:54:28There's still time to claw back some profits, Raj.
0:54:30 > 0:54:33Back with Anita, now, for her miniature pine chest.
0:54:35 > 0:54:37Start me off. £30.
0:54:37 > 0:54:39£30 on the internet.
0:54:39 > 0:54:42- £30 straight in.- Done it!- Do I see five anywhere? £30 straight in.
0:54:42 > 0:54:46We'll sell it to the internet, make no mistake, at £30...
0:54:48 > 0:54:51That should have done better. Bad luck, Anita.
0:54:52 > 0:54:55Now, can Raj ride off with some profits with his two saddles?
0:54:55 > 0:55:00Start me off. £20 for the two saddles.
0:55:00 > 0:55:0320. Ten, then, take them away today.
0:55:03 > 0:55:04- Struggling a bit, darling. - £10 is bid.
