0:00:02 > 0:00:04It's the nation's favourite antiques experts...
0:00:04 > 0:00:06- That's cracking!- ..with £200 each...
0:00:06 > 0:00:07Wonderful!
0:00:07 > 0:00:11..a classic car and a goal to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13That's exactly what I'm talking about.
0:00:13 > 0:00:14I am all over a shiver.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction. But it's no mean feat.
0:00:18 > 0:00:19- No-brainer.- Going, going, gone.
0:00:19 > 0:00:23There'll be worthy winners and valiant losers.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26- So, will it be the high road to glory...- Push!
0:00:26 > 0:00:28..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!
0:00:35 > 0:00:37# Don't stop me
0:00:37 > 0:00:40# Having a good time Having a good time... #
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Welcome back to our exciting adventure,
0:00:42 > 0:00:47with auctioneers extraordinaire James Braxton and Charles Hanson.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Do they ever stop laughing, these two?
0:00:49 > 0:00:52James is a very competitive Road Trip veteran.
0:00:52 > 0:00:53You wouldn't think so to look at him.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56To the winner goes the spoils.
0:00:56 > 0:01:01And Charles is an antiques hotshot, willing to do anything to win.
0:01:01 > 0:01:02COW MOOS
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Don't look at me like that. I'm not a bad man, OK?
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Don't you believe that!
0:01:07 > 0:01:10After starting this trip with £200 in his pocket,
0:01:10 > 0:01:17some canny buys means James now has £315.68 to spend.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Charles has also bought cleverly,
0:01:20 > 0:01:23more than doubling his original £200 stake.
0:01:23 > 0:01:28He's sitting pretty out in front with £447.34.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31While Charles might be brilliant at buying antiques,
0:01:31 > 0:01:34when it comes to driving one, well...
0:01:34 > 0:01:36that's another matter, so stand by.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37What gear are you in?
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- Are you in first or second? - Third. Sorry.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44- Sorry! - JAMES CHUCKLES
0:01:45 > 0:01:48On this trip, our boys are struggling to zip around
0:01:48 > 0:01:53in this ill-sounding 1964 DKW 1000 Coupe.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Made before seat belts were mandatory
0:01:55 > 0:01:58means our experts aren't wearing any. Got it?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02After beginning their roving road trip in the Highlands,
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Charles and James have been journeying all over bonny Scotland,
0:02:05 > 0:02:08taking in the north-east and the Central Belt.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12They'll eventually finish up over the border in Berwick-upon-Tweed.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14This leg will kick off in Perth, Scotland,
0:02:14 > 0:02:17and end in England at auction in Crooklands, Cumbria.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22A former capital of Scotland,
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Perth was made a city again by the Queen, as part of
0:02:25 > 0:02:29her diamond jubilee celebrations in 2012.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32It's home to James's first shop, Fair City Antiques.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35- Hello.- All right, James.
0:02:35 > 0:02:36Hello, good to see you.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38- And your name is?- My name's Max.
0:02:38 > 0:02:39Max, good to meet you.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Determined to beat Charles on this leg,
0:02:42 > 0:02:45James is on the hunt for hidden gems.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Have these got any age, or are they brand-new?
0:02:51 > 0:02:52I'm not sure. Probably...
0:02:52 > 0:02:56So, this has got some lacquer on it, hasn't it?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Most of the Chinese stuff was always lacquered.
0:02:59 > 0:03:04- Yeah, yeah. This is more your red cinnabar lacquer.- Mm-hm.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06It's just got a little bit of tracery
0:03:06 > 0:03:07rushing around here, hasn't it?
0:03:07 > 0:03:12I quite like stools, but these ones are slightly lower.
0:03:12 > 0:03:13That's a sort of seat level.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18Often, you rather hope a stool is slightly higher.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20That's quite a low one.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23They're just sort of decorative things, really.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25I haven't even asked how much you've got on these.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27140 for the pair.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29140 for the pair.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35I like them.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39It would absolutely make my day at 75 for those.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44- MAX SIGHS - Er...
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Speak to me, Max.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48- You're worried.- Do you know what?
0:03:48 > 0:03:50- What? Really?- Put it there.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- 75.- That's very kind. Thank you.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- I've had them a while.- That's for the two?- That's for the pair.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59For the pair - lovely. Very pleased with those.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02So that's James's first lot bought.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06And it's not long before another pair catches his eye.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07Two tables this time.
0:04:09 > 0:04:15It is definitely a Sikh-like headdress here...
0:04:15 > 0:04:17So, Indian. This is for export.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- So, you can...- For packing. - You would have packed...- Flat-pack.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Flat-pack. So you could have taken that home with you.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Yes. Not bad, is it?
0:04:25 > 0:04:27It's very nice hardwood.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Who can resist an elephant?
0:04:29 > 0:04:31I can never resist an elephant.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33They're beautiful, beautiful animals.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35And it's just quite nice.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Quite a nice scene there.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39What could these be?
0:04:41 > 0:04:4245 for t'pair.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44- 45 for a pair?- Yeah.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- Yeah, I'll take them, 45.- All right? - Thank you. Really kind.
0:04:48 > 0:04:53- Sometimes I buy singularly, sometimes I buy in pairs.- Mm-hm.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Today is a pairs day.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58And what a pair of pairs they are.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Great start!
0:05:00 > 0:05:02- Thanks for coming.- Thanks a lot.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Charles, meanwhile, has made his way to Crieff.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17He's come to learn about an elite band of hardy Scots
0:05:17 > 0:05:19known as the Highland drovers.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24From the mid-17th century,
0:05:24 > 0:05:27tough and courageous herdsmen drove cattle
0:05:27 > 0:05:31from the highlands and islands across Scotland's roughest terrain
0:05:31 > 0:05:33to trade at market.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38Charles is meeting chairman of the Crieff and Strathearn Drovers' Tryst Festival,
0:05:38 > 0:05:40John Cummings, to find out more.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43- Welcome to Crieff. Come this way. - Wonderful!
0:05:47 > 0:05:51I've been a driver, John, and it's been quite difficult
0:05:51 > 0:05:54navigating over these hills and around lochs
0:05:54 > 0:05:56in an old classic car, but, of course, for the drovers
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- it was a different story. - Very much so, yes.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01There were no roads, basically, when they were at their height.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04There were no maps, there were no GPS systems.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07The droving would take on average 12 miles a day,
0:06:07 > 0:06:09they could cover with cattle.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13So you're talking about possibly two weeks en route.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15- Really?- Yeah, it was a long, long haul.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18What did the Highland cattle have?
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Why travel all that distance?
0:06:20 > 0:06:21Were these special beasts?
0:06:21 > 0:06:26Scottish beef was traditionally very, very much valued.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29And certainly during the 17th century
0:06:29 > 0:06:33and part of the 18th century, there was a tremendous demand -
0:06:33 > 0:06:3680% of beef came from Scotland.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38- Really?- And what did it serve?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41It served the Navy. It served the Armed Forces.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42Salted beef.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45The Drovers' Tryst in Crieff
0:06:45 > 0:06:48was one of the busiest cattle markets in the country.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52Held in the second week in October, trade was so substantial
0:06:52 > 0:06:56that Crieff was the financial centre of Scotland during this period.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57Why Perthshire?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00What did that region have in Scotland which others didn't?
0:07:00 > 0:07:02If you look at the map of Scotland,
0:07:02 > 0:07:05a lot of the droving routes converge on Crieff.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08The traders that were coming up from either the Borders early on
0:07:08 > 0:07:11or after the Union, increasingly from England,
0:07:11 > 0:07:15they were quite happy to come as far as Crieff, but not beyond Crieff.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17That was wild, untamed country.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22- At its height, 30,000 cattle came through Crieff.- Really?
0:07:22 > 0:07:25For the Highlander, it was his form of wealth.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27But they had to guard the cattle
0:07:27 > 0:07:31because you had, very often, cattle thieving.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34That went on, and that was part and parcel of the whole story
0:07:34 > 0:07:37about droving, because a lot of drovers were previously cattle thieves.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Rob Roy MacGregor - the famous Rob Roy - he was a cattle thief,
0:07:40 > 0:07:43but he was part of the MacGregor clan and an outlaw.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47The drovers were a key part of Scottish life
0:07:47 > 0:07:51for more than 200 years but due to the Highland Clearances,
0:07:51 > 0:07:54faster steamships and the birth of railways,
0:07:54 > 0:07:57the droving trade in Scotland dried up.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00The hardy Highlanders were forced to find work elsewhere.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Where did these drovers end up?
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Australia. America. Canada.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09And the skills they took with them, of course,
0:08:09 > 0:08:11were the skills of the droving.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15So the drovers, in many ways, become the cowboys.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17We know all about the cowboys.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20They've been romanticised by John Ford and John Wayne and so on.
0:08:20 > 0:08:25But they went across there, they became the big, big landowners
0:08:25 > 0:08:27and the ranchers of Texas.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30So really, the cowboys almost began, in a way, in Scotland?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Well, you could say that.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Many, many Scottish traditions and, as we know,
0:08:35 > 0:08:37many names over in Canada and so on.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41Charles reckons he could be a daring drover.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44So John's brought him to meet local farmer Euan Stewart,
0:08:44 > 0:08:48who's kindly offered to let him loose on his Highland coos.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Looks angry.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52And there they are. Aren't they beautiful creatures?
0:08:52 > 0:08:56What's the secret? What is the way to drove?
0:08:56 > 0:09:00- Just go and say, "Come on, girls. On your way."- Do I whistle a bit?
0:09:00 > 0:09:02- HE WHISTLES - You can, yes. OK.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03Well, I'll try that.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05That's what we do down south.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Come on. This way.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10You have mighty fine horns. Thank you.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13No need to be personal, Charles.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Come on. We're going south towards Derbyshire.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17That's it.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21- What do you want?- Don't ask!
0:09:21 > 0:09:24You've had... You've had your water.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26BULL MOOS
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Don't look at me like that. I'm not a bad man, OK? I know.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Come on, let's go.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Let's find the way.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35As Charles follows the herd...
0:09:35 > 0:09:36TIM CHUCKLES
0:09:36 > 0:09:39..James has made the journey east to Glencarse
0:09:39 > 0:09:42for his second shop of the day - Michael Young Antiques.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Looks welcoming...
0:09:45 > 0:09:47BELL RINGS
0:09:47 > 0:09:48- Hello. James.- Hello, James.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52- Hello.- Good to meet you.- Good to meet you. What a lovely place.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54With a mixed bag of antiques on offer,
0:09:54 > 0:09:58James is hoping Michael can help him sniff out a potential purchase.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Why can't he look for himself?
0:10:00 > 0:10:01Find some goodies.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Have you got so much money to spend? Is that it?
0:10:05 > 0:10:09No, I haven't got a huge amount of money to spend, unfortunately.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Well, you've still got nearly £200, James.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Big old mirror there.
0:10:15 > 0:10:16Old brass-framed mirror.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18- Yeah.- Base metals.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20I love a bit of base metal.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22What could that be, Michael?
0:10:22 > 0:10:24150?
0:10:24 > 0:10:28And the glass - is that deterioration...?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Pull it off the wall and have a look.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34- Is there deterioration behind it? Probably.- Yeah, it's behind.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37Steady!
0:10:37 > 0:10:38JAMES GROANS
0:10:40 > 0:10:43It's got a sort of zinc back, hasn't it?
0:10:43 > 0:10:45- So you've got a sort of... - Polish up beautifully.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47..stylised rose there, haven't you?
0:10:47 > 0:10:49It's a big old thing.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- Very much in the Arts and Crafts manner, isn't it?- Mm.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Superb, I think, actually.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57The stylised flowers. Shame about the mirror, but there we are.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59What about 100, Michael?
0:10:59 > 0:11:01- Thank you, sir.- Very much indeed.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03That's very kind of you, Michael.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Very kind indeed! A most generous discount.
0:11:06 > 0:11:11That sees James secure another lot for auction. Jolly good.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Another busy day complete then, it's time for some shuteye.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15Nighty-night.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21It's a brand-new day, and our boys are back together
0:11:21 > 0:11:24and have made their way to Edinburgh.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26The sun is shining on the Scottish capital -
0:11:26 > 0:11:27surely a good omen.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31Push, James! Push for all your might, here in Edinburgh!
0:11:31 > 0:11:32- Uh-oh, maybe not then! - Let's go!
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Let's go, James. Keep going.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39Keep going. Hold it there, James. Hold it there.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40Handbrake on, driver.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44- Well done.- There we go. The day is alive.- Come on, let's walk.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Thanks a lot. All the best to you.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Oh, yes, of course - there's shopping to do.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52With the car out of action, they're walking the rest of the way.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Look at this view!
0:11:54 > 0:11:57MUSIC: I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) by The Proclaimers
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- BOTH:- # And I would walk 500 more
0:12:00 > 0:12:05# Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
0:12:05 > 0:12:08# To fall down at your door... #
0:12:08 > 0:12:12Charles and James will be doing a spot of joint shopping this morning.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16Oh, Lord! Do be careful, Charles.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20They've finally arrived in one piece at Courtyard Antiques.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- After you.- After...
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Oh, James! Get it together, chaps.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30With a wide selection of antiques spread over two floors,
0:12:30 > 0:12:33it's time for some serious shopping, particularly Charles.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35This is an amazing shop, isn't it?
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Well...there's no shortage of content here, is there?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- Shall I go this way and you go that way?- OK. You have choice. Good luck, good luck.
0:12:42 > 0:12:47Still to start spending, and with nearly £450 tucked away,
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Charles has decided to seek out dealer Lewis.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- Hello, there.- Hi, Charles. - You must be the proprietor here.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57- Yes.- Would you have anything that is quite market fresh,
0:12:57 > 0:12:59that maybe is something full of Eastern promise?
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- We have some early carvings... - Oh, really?
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- ..up at that end. - Let's go for a wander.
0:13:04 > 0:13:10James, meanwhile, has over £95 and has decided to go it alone.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Always look up, always look down.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14There might be some lovely rugs,
0:13:14 > 0:13:16there might be something interesting hanging up.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19It's mainly chairs at the moment.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Downstairs, Charles is getting a closer look
0:13:23 > 0:13:26at the group of 17th and 18th-century carvings.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28- Have they just come in, or...?- Yeah.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30God, they're beautiful. How much are they?
0:13:30 > 0:13:34Erm, I was hoping to get 140 each for them.
0:13:34 > 0:13:35Aren't they gorgeous?
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- Have they been here a while? - They've been here four days.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Aren't they nice?
0:13:40 > 0:13:43I suppose they're what we call caryatids, aren't they?
0:13:43 > 0:13:47And a caryatid is almost like a plaster,
0:13:47 > 0:13:53where it's almost a moulding applied to a piece of furniture.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55HE SINGS TO HIMSELF
0:13:55 > 0:13:58What could be the best price on them?
0:13:59 > 0:14:01590?
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Keep it high, Lewis, keep it high!
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Keep it high. He's got plenty of money.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09He's ahead. He's ahead at the moment.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11- They're very nice, those, aren't they?- Yeah, they are.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- You've got £590. - I wish I did, I wish I did.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19- Keep spending, keep spending. - Thanks a lot!- I'm just going to come by, do you mind?
0:14:19 > 0:14:21You know, when you're at that moment, caught in time...
0:14:21 > 0:14:25- I know.- ..you get your old mate just come and upset the apple cart.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Before Friday sings,
0:14:27 > 0:14:32I would like to go for the big one that could dip high or dip low.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Yeah, I know. It's worth it, isn't it?
0:14:34 > 0:14:36After that walk we've had, I've got to clear my head a bit,
0:14:36 > 0:14:39because I'm still, in my own mind, walking still.
0:14:39 > 0:14:44Talking of walkies, James has found a Studio Pottery corgi moneybox
0:14:44 > 0:14:46right under Charles's nose.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48- That's a nice thing. Can I have a look at that?- No, you can't!
0:14:48 > 0:14:51No, you can't! Do you know what?
0:14:51 > 0:14:54- Good design...- Yes.- Good design always has humour.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- I do like that. - It's like Martinware Brothers.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- I think, Lewis, what I'm going to do...- I like the crown.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03I think I'm going to make a note of these and just say, "Let's put them to one side."
0:15:03 > 0:15:07- I'm going to put that to one side as well.- No, no, no, you're not.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11- Let's have a chat. That'll be first come, first served.- Lewis...
0:15:11 > 0:15:12I'm looking at this,
0:15:12 > 0:15:15I'm looking at this, and I'm getting a feel of about £20.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17About half of what I was thinking.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Really? 25 and it's yours.
0:15:19 > 0:15:20I'll buy them at 25.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Go on. First one done!
0:15:23 > 0:15:25- Wahey!- I can't believe it!
0:15:25 > 0:15:28I almost feel like giving you a Glasgow head-butt,
0:15:28 > 0:15:30via this delightful...
0:15:30 > 0:15:34- To the winner goes the spoils! - That's a very good object, James.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36- That's a lovely object. - And to Queen and country.
0:15:36 > 0:15:37Get out of here! Go on!
0:15:37 > 0:15:41- Thank you, Lewis. - Go walk those 500 miles that way!
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Go on, get out of here!
0:15:43 > 0:15:48An interruption by James sees him walk off with his fourth lot for auction.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52Charles, meanwhile, is still thinking about the caryatids - as you do.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56I'd be prepared to spend £400 on them.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Cash.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Charlie is slightly wearing him down.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04The poor man's going to have to lie down in a darkened room soon, isn't he?
0:16:04 > 0:16:08I would be prepared to go kind of halfway with you, 450.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10That's quite interesting.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Oh, it's open! It's a sort of weird curio.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18It's very heavy. It's made of lead...
0:16:21 > 0:16:24..and it's got a donkey on it, a mule, a donkey.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26It's rather sweet, isn't it?
0:16:26 > 0:16:28It's got no price on it. A couple of quid...
0:16:28 > 0:16:31So, he's off to interrupt - yet again.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35I found this in a little cabinet, rather... Curio.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37- That's pretty.- Pretty, isn't it?
0:16:37 > 0:16:40- That's nice.- It's not TOO nice.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42It's really nice.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44- Wonderful!- Hold on, hold on...
0:16:46 > 0:16:47It's very good, isn't it?
0:16:47 > 0:16:50- How much is that? - A couple of pounds?
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Never mind the quality - feel the weight.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54It hasn't got a price tag,
0:16:54 > 0:16:57so, you know, I thought I'd give you a lift from nought.
0:16:57 > 0:16:5815.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02I think we're moving in the right direction, Lewis.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04It's nice to see. Lewis - a tenner.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Go on, put it there.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Well done. My work is done here.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- Do you know...- My work is done here. - He's more a decision kind of guy.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14My work is done here. Thank you, good people.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- Good people of Edinburgh, I leave you.- I shall wish you good day.- Good day, good day.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Do you know, sometimes you worry that a man's on fire.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23This man's come from nowhere and he is on fire.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24He's certainly hot!
0:17:24 > 0:17:27With a total of five lots bought, that's James spent.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31Charles, we're still waiting for you to get started.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Now, how about those caryatids?
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Would you meet me at £400 and give me a chance?
0:17:37 > 0:17:38420.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Oh, don't say that! Would you meet me at 410?
0:17:41 > 0:17:44£410?
0:17:44 > 0:17:45Thank you very much.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49Charles has almost blown his whole budget on the six caryatids,
0:17:49 > 0:17:53which he will split into three lots for auction. Dear, oh, dear.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- Lewis, thank you again.- Bye-bye. - Bye-bye.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Charles still has lots of shopping to catch up on,
0:18:01 > 0:18:04so he's made his way to North Berwick
0:18:04 > 0:18:05for the final shop of the day.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- Hello, there!- Oh, hello.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10How are you? Your name, sir, is?
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- Charles.- You're Charles as well? - Yes, exactly the same.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15- Occasionally Charlie. - Are you a Charlie?
0:18:15 > 0:18:17I'm normally a Charles.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21OUR Charles spent the bulk of his budget in the last shop,
0:18:21 > 0:18:25so has just over £37 available to spend.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Almost takes me back to my droving days.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37It's quite a cute little, erm...
0:18:37 > 0:18:39cup, little tea bowl. Maybe a bowl.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43And often we see images of 18th-century ladies
0:18:43 > 0:18:46taking their tea like this.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49But it's a beautiful little blue-and-white example.
0:18:49 > 0:18:50- Charles?- Yes?
0:18:50 > 0:18:53They say small is beautiful.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55The little bowl here's quite sweet.
0:18:55 > 0:18:56Nice, isn't it? Just cute.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58- Yes, yes.- What could it be?
0:18:58 > 0:19:00- A couple of pounds?- Yeah.- Fine.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02- Quite cute, isn't it, for a couple of pounds?- Mm.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Yeah, I like your style.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Thanks, Charles. That's one purchase.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08- I'll keep wandering. Thanks a lot. OK.- OK.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11That's the tea bowl bought for £2,
0:19:11 > 0:19:16and it looks like there may be one more buy on the cards.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17That's a nice little dish.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20It's quite a nice pewter...
0:19:20 > 0:19:22I suppose what you might call a dinner plate,
0:19:22 > 0:19:27in this lovely almost pie-crust reeded-moulded cast frame.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31What you look for on any pewter or early metalware
0:19:31 > 0:19:33is where it's languished on tables,
0:19:33 > 0:19:37and you can see on the base of this dish,
0:19:37 > 0:19:39there are some nice knife marks.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42It's not overly early, but it's quite tactile.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46He likes it, but how much will it set him back?
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Er, Charlie?
0:19:48 > 0:19:50- Is it expensive, or...?- It's 15.
0:19:50 > 0:19:51- 15?- Yeah.
0:19:53 > 0:19:54It's quite nice, isn't it?
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Yeah, because...
0:19:56 > 0:20:00Something that doesn't sell an awful lot is pewter.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- It's kind of out of... - Would you take £10 for it?
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Mmm, yes.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Thanks ever so much. Pick up my blue-and-white...
0:20:09 > 0:20:13..tea bowl down here and the waiter that I am,
0:20:13 > 0:20:16walk this, or drove it, down to Cumbria.
0:20:16 > 0:20:17I'll pay for it first.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Charles pays for the tea bowl and pewter plate...
0:20:24 > 0:20:28..which he'll add to his three pairs of wooden caryatids,
0:20:28 > 0:20:31giving him five lots to take to auction.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36James also has five lots - his pair of Chinese stools,
0:20:36 > 0:20:38a pair of Indian hardwood tables,
0:20:38 > 0:20:40the Arts and Crafts mirror,
0:20:40 > 0:20:42a Studio Pottery corgi moneybox
0:20:42 > 0:20:45and the lead donkey.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50The big question is, what do they think of each other's lots?
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Charles was very excited about the caryatids.
0:20:53 > 0:20:58I had a look at them and some I liked and some I didn't really like.
0:20:58 > 0:20:59He paid £10
0:20:59 > 0:21:03for that little beautifully tactile donkey, so, hopefully...
0:21:05 > 0:21:08..he'll be the ass at the end of this auction.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10I say, Carlos!
0:21:10 > 0:21:12The boys are back on the road in a car that works -
0:21:12 > 0:21:13well, at the moment.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16It's another DKW 1000 Coupe.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18After beginning in Perth,
0:21:18 > 0:21:21our experts have now made their way over the border en route to auction
0:21:21 > 0:21:23in Crooklands, Cumbria.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28This is a very different car. It actually feels like a decent car.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30- But it's not the same car. - No, it's red.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33This car's red. Our last car was blue, wasn't it?
0:21:33 > 0:21:36So it's had no spray job - it's just a completely different car?
0:21:36 > 0:21:38It feels like a different car.
0:21:38 > 0:21:39I think the other one died.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Fingers crossed on this one, anyway.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46The boys have arrived at Eighteen Eighteen Auctioneers.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48James, on a day like today...
0:21:49 > 0:21:50..may your luck be an antique horse.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53On a day like today, let's get inside.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57The gentleman holding the gavel today is David Brooks.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59What does he make of our experts' lots?
0:22:01 > 0:22:04The lead token donkey is quite sweet.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Is it going to sell well? I really don't know.
0:22:06 > 0:22:07Jury's out on that one.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10The tea bowl - supposedly 16th-century.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13It's got damage to it, so I don't think it will do terribly well,
0:22:13 > 0:22:17despite its age. But, again, we do get real surprises, sometimes,
0:22:17 > 0:22:18with the Chinese market.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22Oh, yes, it's a busy room and there's online and phone bidding here, too,
0:22:22 > 0:22:24so take your seat, chaps.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Hold tight! Oh... OK!
0:22:26 > 0:22:27Oh, blimey!
0:22:29 > 0:22:33First up, James's pair of Chinese stools.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37I have to start the bidding with me at £60.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39You watch. The net's going up, up.
0:22:39 > 0:22:4065 on the internet.
0:22:40 > 0:22:4270 with me.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45- Profit.- 80 with me. £80 here.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- We have 85...- I'd like to start bidding now.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Just in time, sir, 90 in the room.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54It's against you on the net. In the room at £90, have we finished?
0:22:54 > 0:22:59- Chin up.- With the scarf in the room at £90...
0:22:59 > 0:23:01- Profit.- Cheap lot.- £15.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05James hoped for more, but a profit nevertheless.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07How do you feel?
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- Look at me.- Gutted.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14Right, the first pair of Charles's caryatids are next to go.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- Where am I going to start? £50?- Come on, internet.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Apparently, we have a telephone bid. 50 now on the internet.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23- Come on, let's go!- 55 on the phone.
0:23:23 > 0:23:2660 now. 65 on the phone.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28I've got a net bid and a phone bid.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30I'm more confident now.
0:23:30 > 0:23:3175 on the phone.
0:23:31 > 0:23:3380 on the internet.
0:23:33 > 0:23:3485, phone.
0:23:34 > 0:23:3690, net.
0:23:36 > 0:23:3795 on the phone.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40- We'll get there slowly. - Hold tight, everybody, hold tight!
0:23:40 > 0:23:42We've got a long way to go. It's those two over there.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44110 on the phone.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- 120 on the internet. - Go on, phone line!
0:23:47 > 0:23:48130 on the phone.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51- We've got a long way to go. - 140 on the net.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52150 on the phone.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- Have we finished?- Come on!
0:23:55 > 0:23:57No, 160. 160 on the internet.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01And we will sell if no further interest at £160...
0:24:02 > 0:24:06I make that a profit apiece. Well done, boys.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08It just shows - the room is out...
0:24:08 > 0:24:11- The room is out.- We're very... - I don't think the room was ever in.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12No...
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Well, let's see how the room feels
0:24:16 > 0:24:19about your pair of Indian tables, shall we, James?
0:24:19 > 0:24:2220. £20, madam? Thank you.
0:24:22 > 0:24:23£20 bid in the room.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25You watch this now - it's going to move.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27- 25.- 25.
0:24:27 > 0:24:2928, fresh bid. 30.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34- 32. No? Sure? 32 in the room. - Come on.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35It's against you on the net.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37They're here to be sold at the 32...
0:24:39 > 0:24:43Oh, dear, that's a shame. Bad luck, James.
0:24:43 > 0:24:44You know what, James? It's a funny old game.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46It IS a funny old game, isn't it?
0:24:46 > 0:24:47It IS a funny old game.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Charles, time for your second pair of caryatids.
0:24:52 > 0:24:53£70 on the internet.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Bidding on the phone? 75? 75 on the phone.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59- 80 on the net.- Phone's in, is it?
0:24:59 > 0:25:0285, phone. 90, net.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06- These are good.- 95, phone.- I thought the first ones were lovely.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Caryatids are carrying on. Come on, phone bid.
0:25:09 > 0:25:10- 110 on the phone.- Come on, internet.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13120 on the internet. 130 on the phone.
0:25:13 > 0:25:14140 now.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18- Go on, phone bid!- 140 on the internet, 150 on the phone.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20- 160 on the internet. - Come on, phone bid.
0:25:20 > 0:25:21160 on the internet.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23- Phone bid, look at me. - That should be enough.- Look at me!
0:25:23 > 0:25:26160 on the internet - have we finished?
0:25:26 > 0:25:29- Out on the phone.- Go on, phone bid! - Anything from the room, no?
0:25:29 > 0:25:32160 on the internet here and going...
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Another profit there for Charles - marvellous!
0:25:35 > 0:25:37- What a gamble!- What a gamble!
0:25:37 > 0:25:41I'd love to know, how far would that net bid go?
0:25:41 > 0:25:43We'll never know, Charles.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47Next up, it's James and his Arts and Crafts mirror.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50I'm going to have to start the bidding with me at £55.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53- Ah, well done, chief. - I paid £100 for it.
0:25:53 > 0:25:5555. It's against you on the net.
0:25:55 > 0:25:5760. 65 with me. 70. Now we're jumping up.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00- The net really wants this. - Commissions are out
0:26:00 > 0:26:02- and the internet has jumped up to £90.- Oh, my goodness!
0:26:02 > 0:26:05- Wow!- £90.- Well done, chief. - Interest on the phone?
0:26:05 > 0:26:0895. I've come back to you. 100 now on the internet.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- At 100 on the internet. - This net really wants it.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15- That net will go up and up. - We have £130 on the phone now,
0:26:15 > 0:26:16and selling...
0:26:18 > 0:26:21That profit puts you back in the game, James.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- It's a £30 profit.- Yeah, happy? - I am happy.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Will it be third time's a charm for Charles,
0:26:27 > 0:26:31as his final pair of caryatids go on offer?
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Let's ask £50, got to be.
0:26:33 > 0:26:34£50 on the phone, thank you.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37- Net's in, net's in. - That's before the internet.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39- 100.- We've jumped to £100.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41- I like your style! - £100 on the phone.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Straight in. He's jumped.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45110, there you go.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48- 120 on the phone.- Come on, net.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50- These could move.- 130 on the net.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53140 on the phone. How are we doing? 150?
0:26:53 > 0:26:55- Yes, we are. - Come on, internet and phone bid!
0:26:55 > 0:26:57160 on the phone, is it?
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Yes, 160 on the phone.
0:26:59 > 0:27:00- 170 on the internet. - Go on, phone bid!
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- No!- On the internet now, going...
0:27:08 > 0:27:11This pair fared a little better than the other two
0:27:11 > 0:27:14and Charles bags another good profit.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Overall, James, I'm delighted with that,
0:27:16 > 0:27:19because it was a gamble worth taking, just to enjoy that voyage.
0:27:19 > 0:27:24James is up again. This time, it's his lead donkey.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26£20, please. Start me somewhere.
0:27:26 > 0:27:27- Thank you, madam.- Here we go.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29£20 I have bid.
0:27:29 > 0:27:3122 right by you.
0:27:31 > 0:27:3325. 28.
0:27:33 > 0:27:3430. 32.
0:27:34 > 0:27:3735. 38.
0:27:37 > 0:27:3940. 42, fresh bid.
0:27:39 > 0:27:40This is kicking on.
0:27:40 > 0:27:4248. 50.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46Have we finished here at £50 now, and selling?
0:27:46 > 0:27:47Wow!
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Wow indeed!
0:27:49 > 0:27:52A fantastic profit there for James.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55That donkey made five times its purchase price.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57- Fantastic!- It did, it did. - Fantastic!
0:27:57 > 0:28:00He's good at maths, but will Charles manage to do as well
0:28:00 > 0:28:02with his pewter plate, I wonder?
0:28:02 > 0:28:04£20 start me, please, cheap and cheerful.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06It's a nice plate.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10- Thank you, madam, £20 we have bid. - Hello there. Thanks a lot.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Come on! Nice plate!
0:28:12 > 0:28:1422 on the internet.
0:28:14 > 0:28:1625. 28.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19No? 28 on the internet.
0:28:19 > 0:28:20One over there, one over there.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22£30 in the room.
0:28:22 > 0:28:2432. 35.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26- I must say...- It's 18th-century.
0:28:26 > 0:28:2838. 40.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31- He knows something. It's a very early plate.- Finished?
0:28:31 > 0:28:33No, 42. 45.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35In the room...
0:28:36 > 0:28:37Oh!
0:28:37 > 0:28:40Oh! Another great profit. Well done, Charles.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44That could, after today's journey, just get me into the positive.
0:28:44 > 0:28:49James's last lot now - his Studio Pottery corgi moneybox.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51£20 on the internet.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53- Wow!- 22 bid.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55I'll come back to the room. 22 bid.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57Are we bidding in the room? I have 25 on the internet.
0:28:57 > 0:28:5928 in the room, thank you.
0:28:59 > 0:29:00Concentrate on the room.
0:29:00 > 0:29:04At £28 in the room, and we will sell if no further...
0:29:04 > 0:29:05- £30.- Well done, chief, you're in.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07No? Sure?
0:29:07 > 0:29:09£30 in the room here with this lady.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11- They've been ignored. - 32, she's come back.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13- Well done, mate.- 35.
0:29:13 > 0:29:18- Net's back in again. - 35 with the lady here. At £35...
0:29:18 > 0:29:21James finishes with a final profit.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24Well done, that man! And his dog.
0:29:24 > 0:29:25From one corgi to another...
0:29:25 > 0:29:27THEY SNORT
0:29:27 > 0:29:29Oh, you two!
0:29:29 > 0:29:32Right, time for one last lot.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34It's Charles's porcelain tea bowl.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37- 22 on the net.- Come on! - 25 in the room.- It's a good thing.
0:29:37 > 0:29:4028. 30. 32 on the internet.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44- 32, 35, a bidder in the room now. - Come on! Do you like it?
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Thank you very much. Come on, internet!
0:29:47 > 0:29:49- 40.- That's enough.
0:29:49 > 0:29:5142. 45 in the room.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53£2! It cost me £2!
0:29:53 > 0:29:55- 48.- 48!
0:29:55 > 0:29:5748.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59Have I got to listen to any more of this?
0:29:59 > 0:30:01- Have I really got to...? - Call me Emperor Ming!
0:30:01 > 0:30:05Make no mistake, if no further interest, at the 50 in the room...
0:30:06 > 0:30:09- Put it there.- Oh, do I have to? - Yeah.- Really?
0:30:09 > 0:30:11- Give us a kiss.- No.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Don't blame you! Anyway, amazing ending there for Charles.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16- Come on.- Well done.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18Right, let's see who's coming out on top.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24James started this leg with £315.68.
0:30:24 > 0:30:28Pulling in a profit of £21.34 after auction costs,
0:30:28 > 0:30:34means he now has £337.02.
0:30:34 > 0:30:39Charles began with £447.34.
0:30:39 > 0:30:45Plenty of profits means he gained £57.70 after auction costs.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48He goes into the final leg way out in the lead
0:30:48 > 0:30:52with £505.04. Well done, boy.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54MUSIC: The Final Countdown by Europe
0:30:56 > 0:31:00So, with plenty of cash tucked away, hold on to your hats,
0:31:00 > 0:31:04as our chaps drive headlong into the final leg of their trip.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10James, it's been an amazing trip, but the end is nigh,
0:31:10 > 0:31:13the curtain is about to be drawn for the last time on you and I,
0:31:13 > 0:31:18and I think we've got to go with a bang. The crowd want an encore.
0:31:18 > 0:31:19It's like a boxing match.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23After a while, all the crowd want to see is a bit of blood, don't they?
0:31:23 > 0:31:25Somebody on the canvas.
0:31:27 > 0:31:32This leg will kick off in Dunbar before ending in Berwick-upon-Tweed.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35- Bye, Charles. Good luck. - Take care. Be lucky!
0:31:35 > 0:31:37- Be lucky.- In love!
0:31:38 > 0:31:42- Charles will be kicking things off in the Buttercup Studio.- Oh, yes.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46- Oh, hello.- Good morning. How are you?- Lovely.- Your name is?- Linda.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49Linda has a wide variety of antiques on offer,
0:31:49 > 0:31:52and Charles gets stuck in straight away.
0:31:52 > 0:31:57So, on this nice rack here, Linda, I do quite like this little dog.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00# How much is that doggie on the rack? #
0:32:00 > 0:32:02He's got no wagging tail.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05But where did he come from, a local find?
0:32:05 > 0:32:08He's been on my mantelpiece for quite a number of years.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11- How old is he, do you think? - No idea.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14I think he's missing his paw there, isn't he?
0:32:14 > 0:32:15He's got a bit of damage to him.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18He is Staffordshire porcelain, rather than being a pottery...
0:32:18 > 0:32:20an earthenware or stoneware,
0:32:20 > 0:32:24he is porcelain, so he's highly fired and made of that china clay.
0:32:24 > 0:32:28I'm presuming there's no price ticket?
0:32:28 > 0:32:33He's just a little doggie in the window, here to go.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35- Yes.- Yeah.- Um...
0:32:35 > 0:32:38It was £10, but you can have it for five.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43He's quite cute, isn't he?
0:32:43 > 0:32:45He is cute. Go on, Linda, I'll take him for £5.
0:32:45 > 0:32:46- Thanks a lot.- Thank you.
0:32:46 > 0:32:51Our Charles buys the King Charles to kick-start this leg's shopping.
0:32:51 > 0:32:52Anything else?
0:32:52 > 0:32:55That's quite nice.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57I'm not sure how old it is, Linda.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00No idea, but it's wood, the bit there.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03- And you can see quite well out of it...- Oh, Charles!
0:33:03 > 0:33:06It's OK, it comes apart anyway.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Yeah, it does, it's on a thread.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11- Could that be quite reasonable? - Very best, 25.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16It's got a few indentations, you'll see it's been dropped,
0:33:16 > 0:33:19on the cover here, you'll see it's got a slight fracture
0:33:19 > 0:33:20in the glass there.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22And also, on that thread,
0:33:22 > 0:33:25you've got a few knocks of where it's been dropped.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27But I would say it's got some age to it.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29It's quite a nice, quality object.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32You're saying 25. I would think the auctioneer might put
0:33:32 > 0:33:36a guide price of that figure on as a high estimate.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39- Would you take for it £20? - Yes, I'll take 20.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41- Are you sure? 20?- 20, yes. - Are you sure?
0:33:41 > 0:33:44- Yes, positive.- Sold. Thank you very much. I'll take it, Linda.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47Thank you. Thank you very much. And I can now see you. There we are.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49I've got you.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51And you've got yourself two lots in your first shop.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53Good stuff.
0:33:53 > 0:33:54See you, bye, bye.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02James, meanwhile, has made his way to Haddington.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04He's come to Lennoxlove House
0:34:04 > 0:34:07to hear about one of the most intriguing incidents
0:34:07 > 0:34:09of World War II.
0:34:10 > 0:34:15He's meeting Lord James Selkirk of Douglas to find out more.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18- Good morning.- Glad to meet you.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21- Looking forward very much to having a chat.- Thank you.
0:34:21 > 0:34:25In 1941, the War was going badly for Britain.
0:34:26 > 0:34:30Eight months of Luftwaffe bombing had seen over a million
0:34:30 > 0:34:34London homes destroyed and 40,000 people killed.
0:34:34 > 0:34:39On 10th May, a lone Messerschmitt flew deep into enemy territory,
0:34:39 > 0:34:42evading all of Britain's air defences.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Remarkably, the pilot was Rudolf Hess,
0:34:44 > 0:34:49chairman of the Nazi Party and Hitler's dedicated deputy.
0:34:49 > 0:34:53He was heading for a location less than 20 miles south of Glasgow.
0:34:53 > 0:34:59This is the map and the red arrow points to Dungavel House.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02- Oh, I see.- But, of course, he couldn't find it in the dark and
0:35:02 > 0:35:07he parachutes over Eaglesham to the north, only a few miles away.
0:35:07 > 0:35:12Hess was quickly captured and taken into military custody.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15He repeatedly insisted he'd only speak to one man,
0:35:15 > 0:35:18Lord Selkirk's father, the Duke of Hamilton,
0:35:18 > 0:35:22a pioneering aviator and the first man to fly over Mount Everest.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25And Hess gives a false name,
0:35:25 > 0:35:28says that he is Hauptmann Alfred Horn,
0:35:28 > 0:35:33- who was in fact his brother, brother-in-law, called Alfred Horn. - Yeah.
0:35:33 > 0:35:38And my father made arrangements to go through and see him
0:35:38 > 0:35:41with the interrogating officer the next morning.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44When they met, Hess confessed who he really was to the Duke
0:35:44 > 0:35:46and made him an offer.
0:35:46 > 0:35:47Britain could keep its empire
0:35:47 > 0:35:52if Germany had a free hand in Europe and the East.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54The Duke didn't waste any time in heading south
0:35:54 > 0:35:58to inform Winston Churchill of what he'd heard from Hess.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01When he got to Ditchley Park,
0:36:01 > 0:36:05Churchill was in good spirits because 33 German bombers
0:36:05 > 0:36:08had been shot down, and he asked him for his news,
0:36:08 > 0:36:12and my father told him - when everyone had left the room,
0:36:12 > 0:36:15apart from the Secretary of State for Air - that this man,
0:36:15 > 0:36:18who had given a false name to everybody else,
0:36:18 > 0:36:21claimed to him that he was Hitler's deputy.
0:36:21 > 0:36:26And Churchill refused to believe that that was at all likely
0:36:26 > 0:36:28or even possible.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32And then he said to my father, "Well, Hess or no Hess,
0:36:32 > 0:36:34"I'm going to see the Marx Brothers,"
0:36:34 > 0:36:36and they went out to see the film next door.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38JAMES LAUGHS
0:36:38 > 0:36:40Hess was imprisoned in Britain,
0:36:40 > 0:36:43including a short spell in the Tower of London,
0:36:43 > 0:36:48until October 1945 when he was sent to stand trial at Nuremberg.
0:36:48 > 0:36:52Sentenced to life imprisonment as a war criminal, Hess remained
0:36:52 > 0:36:58incarcerated in Berlin's Spandau prison until his death in 1987.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02To this day, many rumours still revolve around Hess's
0:37:02 > 0:37:04fateful flight to Scotland.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06Had Hitler actually approved it?
0:37:06 > 0:37:09Was Hess a would-be assassin?
0:37:09 > 0:37:13Or was it simply the doomed mission of an unstable man?
0:37:13 > 0:37:14We will never know.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19Reunited, our boys, though,
0:37:19 > 0:37:24have motored the DKW to Old Craighall near Musselburgh.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29They've arrived at a shop called Early Technology.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33- Quite surreal, isn't it? - It is quite surreal.
0:37:33 > 0:37:38The owner of this rather unique antiques haven is Michael.
0:37:38 > 0:37:43Oh, wow. It's quite something here. James, look at the Penny Farthing.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45- I know, amazing.- Isn't that wonderful?- Yeah.- Is it for sale?
0:37:45 > 0:37:50- Everything's for sale. - Music to an antique hunter's ears.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52How much for the Teasmade?
0:37:52 > 0:37:56The Teasmade you can have for £25.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59- Thank you, Mike.- No, no... - It's your bargain.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02- I'm going on that. Thank you, Mike. - That's your bargain.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05- JAMES LAUGHS - Come on, Charles.- Just like that.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07- You've just got to keep your eyes open.- Just like that.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10- You get too easily distracted.- £25!
0:38:10 > 0:38:12It's not early technology.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15- It's late technology, as far as I'm concerned.- Mike!
0:38:15 > 0:38:18- Have you bought it? - Yeah, £25. Teasmade.- Absolutely.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21Look at that. I've never seen such a fine Teasmade.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23- That is a work of art.- £25.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26You've got a light there, so that wakes you up in the morning.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30You've got your clock. And then... What a... What a... What a...
0:38:30 > 0:38:33- You like a cup of tea. - So, you've just sold it to him?- Yes.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36- Absolutely.- We shook on it. - Thrilled to sell it.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40James showing his wild side there,
0:38:40 > 0:38:42doing one of the quickest deals we've ever seen.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44Well done, that man.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47Meanwhile, Charles is feeling a little overwhelmed
0:38:47 > 0:38:48by the choice on offer.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50There's so much lurking.
0:38:50 > 0:38:54There's typewriters, there's a basket of fruit down there.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58Down there, is that a concertina in that box?
0:38:58 > 0:39:01Is it a concertina? Oh, it is a concertina.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05- Do you play it?- No.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08It's all complete, except for the knobs that go through.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11- But the knobs are not that difficult to get.- Oh, what a shame.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14- I've done everything else, but it's cheap for the price.- How much?
0:39:14 > 0:39:15- They're worth money.- How much?
0:39:15 > 0:39:22- 65.- I love the fact it's a Campbells of Glasgow concertina.- Yeah.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24CONCERTINA TOOTS
0:39:25 > 0:39:30It obviously has had some TLC over the years.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33The case sells it, Mike, and it's a Glaswegian concertina,
0:39:33 > 0:39:35which also gives me a bit of love.
0:39:35 > 0:39:39- Would you do it for £40? - No, I'll do it for 50.- Right.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42- We'll do it. Mike, let's do it.- OK.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Thanks a lot, Mike. Thanks a lot. £50.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47A really interesting concertina, full of Scottish charm,
0:39:47 > 0:39:52and, hopefully, it might play at the saleroom if I get lucky.
0:39:52 > 0:39:56£50 buys Charles the Victorian concertina.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59- Thank you so much. - Thank you, Michael.- Good luck. - Have a great day.
0:39:59 > 0:40:00All the best.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02Bye.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06And that purchase brings today's buying to a close.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08So, nighty-night.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18It's a brand-new day!
0:40:18 > 0:40:21For their final fling around bonnie Scotland,
0:40:21 > 0:40:24Charles is wearing a kilt, of course.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26I've also got my hat, James, as well.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28- Sorry. Look.- Let's see the hat.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30It should be worn slightly off centre,
0:40:30 > 0:40:33and all of your tartan should be all the way straight
0:40:33 > 0:40:36as your stockings and...
0:40:36 > 0:40:37There we go, look.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Oh! Ohh!
0:40:39 > 0:40:41You look very fine.
0:40:41 > 0:40:42I second that.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45We'll catch up with Charles and his kilt later,
0:40:45 > 0:40:49but first, James is kicking things off in Jedburgh.
0:40:50 > 0:40:54He has £312 to spend, but has decided to do some research
0:40:54 > 0:40:57and make a call to the auction house to find out what sells well.
0:40:57 > 0:41:01He said, internet's strong up there, so buy small,
0:41:01 > 0:41:06something that can be posted, packaged and posted, quite easily.
0:41:09 > 0:41:10Small's the name of the game,
0:41:10 > 0:41:14so let's hope dealer Kate has lots of tiny treasures on offer.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17I'm looking for small, interesting bits.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20What is this little fellow here?
0:41:20 > 0:41:23- Do you want me to get it out for you?- That would be lovely.
0:41:25 > 0:41:26He's in sort of period costume.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29He's walking with a walking stick.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32You'd really want him to be with a sword, wouldn't you?
0:41:32 > 0:41:35He looks a bit old man-y, but he looks very young.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38He's in a sort of Shakespearean outfit.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40These sort of doubloons.
0:41:40 > 0:41:44It's like a character, almost like a theatrical character.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47I'm just going to put that over there. Let's just leave that.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49I'm going to keep hunting.
0:41:49 > 0:41:53With a ticket price of 45, the figure's set aside,
0:41:53 > 0:41:56and something else shiny has caught James's eye.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59I'm drawn to that immediately,
0:41:59 > 0:42:03because you pick it up, and the quality of it...
0:42:03 > 0:42:05It's very heavy.
0:42:05 > 0:42:09What I was drawn to about this, this is very nice engraving.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13It's got a sort of pencil line round the letters, by a maker,
0:42:13 > 0:42:15and it's got Chester marks.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Chester's nice. But it's a bit bashed.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21It sports a £35 ticket,
0:42:21 > 0:42:25and maker's mark for Sampson Mordan. Very collectable silverware.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27Anything else?
0:42:27 > 0:42:29- Oh, that's a punch ladle, isn't it? - Yeah.- With the whale.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32- Can I look at that?- I can't remember how old that one is.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35- It's got quite a nice coin in it, hasn't it?- Yeah.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37- We've got a special window. - There you go.
0:42:37 > 0:42:42- It's got a gilded...- Mm-hm. - ..arms there, so it's silver.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47It's done quite a lot of work, hasn't it?
0:42:47 > 0:42:50That's quite nice, isn't it? And this is whalebone.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53The trade in certain types of whale species is banned,
0:42:53 > 0:42:57but as this ladle predates the 1947 CITES agreement,
0:42:57 > 0:42:59it's legal to sell.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02It's got age, so it's 1700s.
0:43:02 > 0:43:07A punch label normally associated with George III, Regency period.
0:43:07 > 0:43:11Men gathering round the punchbowl. It's rather nice, that. I like that.
0:43:11 > 0:43:16With a £35 price tag, the ladle's added to the silver haul.
0:43:16 > 0:43:21And it seems James hasn't satisfied his silver thirst just yet.
0:43:22 > 0:43:25And then we've got this incredible bag here.
0:43:25 > 0:43:27It feels...
0:43:27 > 0:43:31It feels slightly dirty. Light silver. Let's have a look at it.
0:43:31 > 0:43:35And then we've got two blue stones here on the top.
0:43:35 > 0:43:37Couple of chips in them.
0:43:37 > 0:43:40We've got a mark here. Alpaca.
0:43:40 > 0:43:41Now, when you think of alpacas,
0:43:41 > 0:43:43you think of South America, don't you?
0:43:43 > 0:43:45And South America, of course,
0:43:45 > 0:43:49was very famous for, you know, Mexico silver.
0:43:49 > 0:43:52- It feels like... - HE SNIFFS
0:43:52 > 0:43:55Feels like silver. It's dirty. It's quite nice, this.
0:43:55 > 0:43:59You know, is it silver, is it not? You know, it's worth a punt.
0:44:01 > 0:44:02Whew!
0:44:02 > 0:44:06Four items. All silver, all interesting.
0:44:06 > 0:44:08That's got age, that's got style,
0:44:08 > 0:44:12that's a story, and that is a period of time, isn't it?
0:44:12 > 0:44:15The roaring 1920s. Great fun.
0:44:15 > 0:44:19With a combined ticket price of £160,
0:44:19 > 0:44:22is there a deal to be done with Kate?
0:44:22 > 0:44:24I'd like to do the whole lot at 100 quid.
0:44:24 > 0:44:28- 120?- I'll tell you what, Kate, I'd do 110.
0:44:28 > 0:44:30- And then we both save our faces. - Yeah.
0:44:30 > 0:44:32- Thank you very much indeed. - Thank you.
0:44:32 > 0:44:34That's really kind.
0:44:34 > 0:44:39A great deal done and James walks away with an armful of silver.
0:44:39 > 0:44:43Charles, meanwhile, has made his way over the border into England,
0:44:43 > 0:44:45where he's come to Ford in Northumberland.
0:44:49 > 0:44:50It's home to the Old Dairy,
0:44:50 > 0:44:53and Charles's final chance to shop before auction,
0:44:53 > 0:44:58with the £430 he's still got in his old sporran.
0:44:58 > 0:45:01- Hello there.- Hello, Charles. - How are you?- Very well.
0:45:01 > 0:45:03- Your name is?- Keith. Keith Allan. - Good to see you.
0:45:05 > 0:45:07Oh, and a humdinger.
0:45:07 > 0:45:10To go out with the biggest bang on the road trip ever.
0:45:10 > 0:45:12- I've got a bit of money in my sporran.- Yeah.
0:45:12 > 0:45:14I've no idea why he's got a kilt on in England...
0:45:14 > 0:45:16He wears it well, though, doesn't he? Underpants, anyone?
0:45:16 > 0:45:19- I'll try and do my shoelace up. - Yeah.
0:45:19 > 0:45:22And it's a difficult one, because being a true Scot,
0:45:22 > 0:45:23you do it the right way.
0:45:23 > 0:45:25Steady! TIM CHUCKLES
0:45:27 > 0:45:28Sorry, madam. Sorry.
0:45:34 > 0:45:37- I like your jacket, by the way. - Oh, do you?- Is it for sale?
0:45:39 > 0:45:41After a good old root round,
0:45:41 > 0:45:44it looks like Charles has found something.
0:45:44 > 0:45:50- I quite like, Keith, the enamel sign over here.- Yes.
0:45:50 > 0:45:52It's quite early, isn't it?
0:45:52 > 0:45:55- What would it be? Early '50s? - I suppose it's '50s.
0:45:55 > 0:45:58- There's also a cocoa sign on the wall over there.- Yeah.
0:45:58 > 0:46:00I'm not much of a handyman,
0:46:00 > 0:46:04and I can see they're both fairly well hammered into the brickwork.
0:46:04 > 0:46:06- Could they be for sale? - They could be.
0:46:06 > 0:46:08And that one's, what, 1950s?
0:46:08 > 0:46:12I think that could be '40s, even '30s, yeah. Yeah.
0:46:12 > 0:46:15- And it's in not bad nick, considering.- Yes.
0:46:15 > 0:46:18- Remember, these things were usually outside, you know, on a wall.- Yes.
0:46:18 > 0:46:21- And kids used to fire airguns at them.- Little pellets.
0:46:21 > 0:46:22If I said to you
0:46:22 > 0:46:27what would a fairly bashed and beaten Nestle milk sign cost me
0:46:27 > 0:46:30and the Van Houten's Cocoa sign over there...?
0:46:30 > 0:46:33If I bought the two together, Keith,
0:46:33 > 0:46:35what would be your best price on the two?
0:46:35 > 0:46:38- Well...- To a humble man. - Let's start...- From England.
0:46:38 > 0:46:42..and tell you that that would be about £60.
0:46:42 > 0:46:46That, I'd be looking twice as much. £120.
0:46:46 > 0:46:48- But...- Keith!- But, but, but, if you take the two...
0:46:48 > 0:46:50- Keith, look at me! - I'm going to say...- To a humble man.
0:46:50 > 0:46:53I'm going to say £80 for the pair.
0:46:53 > 0:46:54That's not bad, is it?
0:46:54 > 0:46:56I'll say!
0:46:56 > 0:46:59That's a discount of £100.
0:46:59 > 0:47:02Based on the fact I want to go with a bang,
0:47:02 > 0:47:04literally, like that sign has,
0:47:04 > 0:47:07you know, being pelted with a few hits over the years,
0:47:07 > 0:47:09I'd better take a direct hit.
0:47:09 > 0:47:11- I'll take them, Keith.- OK. - £80.- Fine.
0:47:11 > 0:47:12I think they're wonderful.
0:47:12 > 0:47:15- I'm a great chocolate lover as well.- Yes.- And I enjoy cocoa.
0:47:15 > 0:47:19So, that canny bit of buying means Charles is all shopped up.
0:47:19 > 0:47:20There we are, Keith.
0:47:25 > 0:47:27James, meanwhile, has also
0:47:27 > 0:47:28made it over the border
0:47:28 > 0:47:30to Berwick-upon-Tweed,
0:47:30 > 0:47:32for his final spot of shopping on this trip.
0:47:36 > 0:47:37Hello.
0:47:37 > 0:47:41- Hello!- Hello. James.- Pleased to meet you.- Good to meet you.- Heather.
0:47:41 > 0:47:44Heather. Good to meet you, Heather.
0:47:44 > 0:47:47Dealing in all things antique, vintage and retro,
0:47:47 > 0:47:50there's lots here for James to peruse.
0:47:53 > 0:47:56WHISTLE BLOWS WEAKLY
0:47:56 > 0:47:58We don't know what this is.
0:48:01 > 0:48:02Or how old.
0:48:02 > 0:48:04Yeah, nice uniform, that, isn't it?
0:48:04 > 0:48:06We've just come by it.
0:48:06 > 0:48:11- Well, it looks good. It's got some nice buttons.- Mm. Mm.
0:48:11 > 0:48:12All works. I can't...
0:48:12 > 0:48:14Let's just see what the buttons...
0:48:14 > 0:48:17Whether there's any clues in the buttons, shall we?
0:48:21 > 0:48:22Yeah.
0:48:24 > 0:48:25Very interesting, isn't it?
0:48:25 > 0:48:26It is.
0:48:26 > 0:48:30Looks like a pre-World War I Scottish military jacket,
0:48:30 > 0:48:33also known as a full dress doublet.
0:48:33 > 0:48:34How much does that owe you?
0:48:34 > 0:48:37- Does it owe you big money? - No, not at all.
0:48:37 > 0:48:39How about I gave you 35 for it?
0:48:40 > 0:48:44- Make it 40.- Make it 40, you've got yourself a deal.- Deal.
0:48:44 > 0:48:47Well, if it makes thousands, just remember us, won't you?
0:48:47 > 0:48:49- Of course I will.- Here at Berwick. - Course I will.
0:48:49 > 0:48:51THEY CHUCKLE
0:48:52 > 0:48:57That final spend brings shopping to an end on this road trip.
0:48:57 > 0:49:01James will add the dress doublet to his other five lots.
0:49:01 > 0:49:03The 1950s tea-maker...
0:49:03 > 0:49:06The silver man with the stick...
0:49:06 > 0:49:08The 1920s silver flapper's bag...
0:49:08 > 0:49:11The engraved silver vesta case...
0:49:11 > 0:49:14And the George III silver punch ladle.
0:49:14 > 0:49:19Charles, meanwhile, has a total of five items to take to auction.
0:49:19 > 0:49:21The porcelain spaniel ornament...
0:49:21 > 0:49:24The early 19th-century brass telescope...
0:49:24 > 0:49:27The Victorian rosewood concertina...
0:49:27 > 0:49:29And his two enamel signs,
0:49:29 > 0:49:33one from the 1950s and the other from the 1930s.
0:49:33 > 0:49:37So, what do they reckon to each other's lots?
0:49:37 > 0:49:40Charles's concertina, it came in a rather nice box,
0:49:40 > 0:49:42but the concertina was a bit disappointing.
0:49:42 > 0:49:46Not great condition. He paid £50 for it.
0:49:46 > 0:49:48I would have run away from it.
0:49:48 > 0:49:51I think the sleeper that might march on,
0:49:51 > 0:49:56that might just be a battle I don't come out of fairly,
0:49:56 > 0:49:57is that uniform,
0:49:57 > 0:50:01and that uniform could just take James over the hill
0:50:01 > 0:50:03and he'll march me down.
0:50:04 > 0:50:07Well, battle will soon be under way.
0:50:07 > 0:50:08After beginning in Dunbar,
0:50:08 > 0:50:10our experts are back together,
0:50:10 > 0:50:11making their way to auction
0:50:11 > 0:50:13in Berwick-upon-Tweed.
0:50:16 > 0:50:18- It's been great, James, I've really enjoyed it.- I've enjoyed it.
0:50:18 > 0:50:21- And I've got a little memento for you, Charles.- Oh.
0:50:21 > 0:50:24- A little... A little bit of tartan for you.- Oh, James!
0:50:24 > 0:50:26Now, you just stay there.
0:50:26 > 0:50:27It's something near to your heart,
0:50:27 > 0:50:30- because you're well-known for your waistcoats.- I am.
0:50:30 > 0:50:32- Look at that.- I love that, James.
0:50:32 > 0:50:34- And that, you know... - Look at that.- That is royal tartan.
0:50:34 > 0:50:37I almost feel King of the Road Trip.
0:50:37 > 0:50:40- My only concern is, it's just a bit small.- No, no.
0:50:40 > 0:50:42- I think it's going to fit you, I hope.- Yeah.
0:50:42 > 0:50:44Well, we'll soon see,
0:50:44 > 0:50:47as the boys have arrived at Berwick auction centre.
0:50:47 > 0:50:50Here we are, chief.
0:50:50 > 0:50:51Here we are.
0:50:54 > 0:50:59The gentleman with the gavel in hand today is Stephen Lonsdale.
0:51:00 > 0:51:03So, what does he think about our experts' lots?
0:51:04 > 0:51:07The punch ladle's a nice piece. Silver can be very surprising.
0:51:07 > 0:51:10I said about £40 to £60. Could be more.
0:51:10 > 0:51:12The spaniel, there's a lot of damage to it,
0:51:12 > 0:51:14but I believe it's quite rare.
0:51:14 > 0:51:16I've not seen many of them...
0:51:16 > 0:51:20£40 to £60. But, again, with these things,
0:51:20 > 0:51:21with collectors on the internet,
0:51:21 > 0:51:24you know, if it's wanted it could go for anything.
0:51:24 > 0:51:26Time will soon tell, as the room's filling up,
0:51:26 > 0:51:29and our experts are about to face their final auction.
0:51:29 > 0:51:31Morning.
0:51:31 > 0:51:34- Settle in.- Today's the day. Our last sale, James.- Last sale.
0:51:34 > 0:51:37- What a journey we've had. - Ahhh!- And it ends here.
0:51:39 > 0:51:43Kicking things off is James's 1950s tea-maker.
0:51:43 > 0:51:45£10 we have, thank you. £10.
0:51:45 > 0:51:47£12 anywhere?
0:51:47 > 0:51:4812. 14?
0:51:48 > 0:51:50- 16.- Oh, well done.
0:51:50 > 0:51:51- 18.- Well done, chief.
0:51:51 > 0:51:5320. 22.
