0:00:02 > 0:00:04It's the nation's favourite antiques experts....
0:00:04 > 0:00:07- That's cracking.- ..with £200 each... - Wonderful.
0:00:07 > 0:00:11..a classic car and a goal, to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:11 > 0:00:12That's exactly what I'm talking about.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14I'm all over a-shiver.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17The aim? To make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19- No-brainer.- Going, going, gone!
0:00:19 > 0:00:23There will 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.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:37 > 0:00:41Today we blast off on the second instalment of our road trip
0:00:41 > 0:00:44adventure with auctioneers Claire Rawle and Paul Laidlaw.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45I can't wait.
0:00:46 > 0:00:51New girl Claire clinched the lead on her first outing, with a World War I
0:00:51 > 0:00:54periscope. She is playing Paul at his own game.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56£110 for the periscope.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02The old hand didn't like that, I tell you.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04He remains as supportive as ever, though.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08I've got pressure on me now to keep it up.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11- Added pressure.- Good, good!
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Now, now, Paul.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17From his original £200, Paul's got
0:01:17 > 0:01:21£279.60 to stick in his back pocket.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Claire also began with £200.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29She is ahead by a whisker with a total of £300.30.
0:01:30 > 0:01:35They are roaring around town in this sporty 1968 TVR Tuscan.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Paul and Claire set off from Wooler in Northumberland.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42They will take in the sights of the North East,
0:01:42 > 0:01:43traversing through Yorkshire,
0:01:43 > 0:01:48to finally land in the town of Stamford in Lincolnshire.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Today our adventure begins in Roker,
0:01:50 > 0:01:52in an area within the city of Sunderland,
0:01:52 > 0:01:55and we shall auction in East Boldon
0:01:55 > 0:01:57in Tyne and Wear.
0:01:57 > 0:02:02Very kindly, Claire is dropping Paul at his first shop in Roker.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04We'll catch up with Claire later.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Now, who knows what will happen in here?
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Hello, pleased to meet you. I'm David.
0:02:10 > 0:02:11Good to see you.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14You've got a certain thing going on here.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- Giraffe. - I noticed. Holy Moses, a real one?
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- Yes.- What on earth?
0:02:23 > 0:02:25What's this little beauty?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Is there any age to that?
0:02:29 > 0:02:31A miniature chest of drawers.
0:02:31 > 0:02:32Who doesn't want one?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Look at this. It's old cigar boxes.
0:02:35 > 0:02:36Fantastic!
0:02:36 > 0:02:41Priced at £50, will owner David be open to discount?
0:02:41 > 0:02:44How good a deal can you do me on the chest of drawers?
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Don't look at that.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49I'll do you 25 quid.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51I think it's yesterday's news, that's my problem.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53So much that we see is yesterday's news.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Blimey! It's tough on old Laidlaw today.
0:02:58 > 0:02:59Right, Paul, anything else?
0:03:00 > 0:03:02They are candle snuffers.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05You knew that. You know what candle snuffers are for, don't you?
0:03:05 > 0:03:10Candle snuffers are for trimming the wick of one's candle.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14These gadgets are actually wick trimmers and
0:03:14 > 0:03:16a candle douser or snuffer to put the flame out.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19We're looking at 1770.
0:03:19 > 0:03:221770, come on!
0:03:22 > 0:03:26This is powdered wigs territory and frock coats and genteel living.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27All right, love.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29What's he up to now?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Looks like he's got his metal mojo working.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36He has spotted a pair of brass candlesticks
0:03:36 > 0:03:38and a pretty copper pot.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41If I grabbed the candle snuffers and a pair of candlesticks,
0:03:41 > 0:03:43that makes sense.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45If I tried to buy...
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Ignore the price tags, please.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50If I tried to buy...
0:03:50 > 0:03:52That's a pretty little lot, is it not?
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Ah, the combined price for the snuffer,
0:03:54 > 0:03:57the candlesticks and the copper pot is £55.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Can it be cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap,
0:04:00 > 0:04:03and then we'll talk about your chest of drawers?
0:04:04 > 0:04:06I think he wants it cheap, David.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10I'll do you 30 quid the lot.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14Where were we, we were 25 quid for the wee cigar box lined chest?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Yes.
0:04:16 > 0:04:1925 quid for that and 30 quid for that.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22I'll do you 50 quid the lot - there you are.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24And you've got a deal.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26OK, sir, thank you very much indeed.
0:04:26 > 0:04:27Good deal.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30No hesitation for Maestro Laidlaw.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34Generous David has sold the miniature chest of drawers for £25
0:04:34 > 0:04:37and the mixed metalware, also for £25.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Wow!
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Meanwhile, Claire has travelled a short distance away
0:04:42 > 0:04:45to the South Tyneside village of Cleadon.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- Hello!- Hello.- Judith. Hello.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Rachel. Nice to meet you. I'm Claire.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Now, Judith is the proprietor here.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Stand by, because Claire is looking to get some bargains.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00Now then, what's this?
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Hopefully photographic slides. Let's have a look.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07OK.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Oh, OK.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Old glass negative slides.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Produced in stereoscope, the two.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21They are in their original box.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Probably for using with a Magic Lantern in the early days.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Before people went to the cinema,
0:05:29 > 0:05:32you would go to the Magic Lantern shows.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Magic Lantern shows were very popular with the Victorians.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40A precursor to the modern-day movie,
0:05:40 > 0:05:42they featured projected images accompanied
0:05:42 > 0:05:43by live music and narration.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47They will date from the late 19th century.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Might be slightly earlier than that, sort of 1860s.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Time for some narration with Judith.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55You've got 95 on those.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57I could do 45 because I got those quite cheap.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00All right, that's what I like to hear!
0:06:00 > 0:06:01Kind discount.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Oh, thank you very much.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Thank you. It's a pleasure, thank you.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Judith has been kind.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09The collection of glass slides for
0:06:09 > 0:06:12£45 is Claire's first purchase of the day.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18Back to Paul. He's journeyed south to the coastal town of Hartlepool
0:06:18 > 0:06:19in County Durham.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23How are you doing?
0:06:23 > 0:06:25- All right?- Yes, pleased to meet you.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27- Good to see you. I'm chomping at the bit, Alan.- OK.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29And he's off for a good rummage.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Paul's laser eye focus has found something.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- That's not just a walking stick, is it?- No.
0:06:43 > 0:06:44It's a sword stick.
0:06:44 > 0:06:51So, what we have here is a Victorian gentleman's means of
0:06:51 > 0:06:56defence when he is wandering the back streets looking for a carriage,
0:06:56 > 0:07:00having just walked out of the opera, and the bad guys jump out of
0:07:00 > 0:07:04the dark and say, "Hand over your wallet!"
0:07:04 > 0:07:05And he says,
0:07:05 > 0:07:09"Be gone, braggart, and don't be back or I'll call the Peelers!"
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- That's exactly what you need. - He should be on the stage!
0:07:12 > 0:07:14A good find, Paul.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Reasonably collectable, as well, and not a bad one.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19I've seen worse. What can it be, Alan?
0:07:19 > 0:07:21I was hoping to get 50 quid for it.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Oh, I'll make you a cheeky wee offer.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Stress the cheeky. 30 quid.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35Can we go to 40 and then I'll make just a little bit on it, which makes
0:07:35 > 0:07:36- me happy.- Oh, do you know what?
0:07:37 > 0:07:41Yes, and here's hoping I make a little bit.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- You'll definitely make a little bit.- Then we're both happy.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46You'll definitely make a profit, I'm sure.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47Nicely done, Paul.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Anything else lurking in the attic?
0:07:49 > 0:07:52I've just pulled that out of the back, actually, to clean it up.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56- Is that what the matter is, just dust?- Just dust.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58But what the heck is it?
0:07:58 > 0:08:01That, for my money, is about the sexiest
0:08:01 > 0:08:09standard-lamp-cum-occasional-table I've seen in years.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13That is going to date to 1930, 1935, and what is the aesthetic?
0:08:13 > 0:08:15It's Art Deco, isn't it?
0:08:15 > 0:08:18For once, it's fair to say it's Art Deco.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20It's a much abused term.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22That is going to polish up an absolute treat.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Do you like?
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Depends on what price you can get from Alan.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Can I get 50 quid for it?
0:08:30 > 0:08:31- 40?- What?
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- 30?- You'll be in freefall. - All right, 30, 30.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Well, I don't want to go more than 20 quid.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39- Yes, that's good.- Sweet?
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- Yes, let's do it.- Happy with that.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43Brilliant.
0:08:43 > 0:08:48An Art Deco standard-lamp-cum-table for £20 and the gentleman's
0:08:48 > 0:08:50sword stick for £40, excellent work.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58Time to call it a day and break for a nice bit of shuteye.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Nighty-night!
0:09:01 > 0:09:03# Good morning, good morning
0:09:03 > 0:09:06# We've talked the whole night through... #
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Wakey-wakey! We're heading north this morning.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Ever the gent, Paul's dropping Claire off
0:09:12 > 0:09:13in Whitley Bay.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- Here we are. - Looking good.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22This fine emporium is run by Philip
0:09:22 > 0:09:26and Claire has over £250 burning a hole in her pocket.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30I have to say, I do rather like cats.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32- He is quite eye-catching. - Quite fun, isn't it?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34- Yes.- Oops.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36It's heavier than I thought it was going to be.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Italy, so presumably a souvenir type piece?
0:09:41 > 0:09:44I don't know. It's got no name to say where it came from,
0:09:44 > 0:09:45just that it originated in Italy.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Yeah.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51What's your best price? Cos you've got £25 on him. So...
0:09:51 > 0:09:54I'm sure we can do something to help on that one.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55- Music to my ears.- Yeah.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58Why don't we do it for 15 for you?
0:09:58 > 0:10:01He's just begging me to buy him, isn't he?
0:10:03 > 0:10:05- Oh, I'll go for it.- You're going to have him, are you?
0:10:05 > 0:10:07- Lovely. Thank you very much. - Thank you. Thank you.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10One purchase down and she's on a roll.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Oh, a leather suitcase.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15One of my favourites.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Is that for sale, or is that just a doorstop?
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Nice old one. I'm sure we could sell it to you if you like.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24Now, Claire bought a suitcase in the first leg and made a nice profit.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Could this one do the same?
0:10:26 > 0:10:28What price would that be?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Well, we've got 45 on it at the moment, Claire.
0:10:30 > 0:10:31- Yeah.- So possibly we can do
0:10:31 > 0:10:33something to help you on that one, yeah.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Yeah, because I know what they make at auction...
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Yes, at auctions they are not going to bring as much as that.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44No, no. I would hope at auction it might make, sort of, 20, 25.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Can you come down somewhere closer
0:10:46 > 0:10:48to that where I can make a bit of a...
0:10:48 > 0:10:53Well, I wouldn't really like to come down as low as 20,
0:10:53 > 0:10:56but we'll do it for 25 for you if there's enough room in there.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58We'll split the difference and 22?
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Yes, all right. We'll do that.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05- Excellent. My cat and my suitcase. - Great.- Thank you.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Thank you very much, Philip. That's excellent.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10There we have it. £15 for the pottery cat
0:11:10 > 0:11:13and 22 for the vintage suitcase.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Meanwhile, Paul's off on a mission to the town of Blyth.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23At the time of the First and Second World Wars,
0:11:23 > 0:11:25the north-east of England was significant,
0:11:25 > 0:11:29due to its naval shipbuilding and weapons industry.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32This, combined with the long, exposed coastline,
0:11:32 > 0:11:36made Northumberland a prime target for a German invasion.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40In 1916, the MoD gave orders to build
0:11:40 > 0:11:44Blyth Battery to ensure the coast was defended.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Paul's meeting with Colin Derwood to get the lowdown.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48Colin, how are you doing?
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- It's a pleasure to meet you, Paul. - I like the look of your beach hut.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Come on, we'll go and have a look at it.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Blyth Battery has the most intact
0:11:57 > 0:12:00coastal defence buildings in the world,
0:12:00 > 0:12:03with the First World War observation post
0:12:03 > 0:12:05being the only surviving example of its type.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08The armoured turret was a look-out post for
0:12:08 > 0:12:10gathering intelligence.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13Oh, man. What!
0:12:15 > 0:12:18So the whole cupola revolves?
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Yes, the whole lot rotated and from
0:12:21 > 0:12:24the sides there was smaller gear wheels,
0:12:24 > 0:12:28shafts, and you can see some of the original plugs...
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- I see, yeah.- ..where there was a cranking mechanism.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34- Hand?- One either side for to rotate the whole top.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Fantastic.
0:12:37 > 0:12:42The operator would have either stood in a basket suspended from it...
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- What?- ..or on a base.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46- Right.- Remembering it doesn't turn very fast.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49It only has to follow a ship.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54And from that door there, and that door there,
0:12:54 > 0:12:59was a nine foot Barr & Stroud split-image rangefinder.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- Yes.- A big brother to this one. - Yeah.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04This enabled the artillery spotter
0:13:04 > 0:13:09to observe anything unusual at sea up to several miles away.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11The information could be passed
0:13:11 > 0:13:14downstairs and they would have phoned it
0:13:14 > 0:13:16across to the gun platform,
0:13:16 > 0:13:18where the guns could have been loaded and ready
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- to take enemy action.- Oh, my word.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23What a thought.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28I'd love to have been here in 1918.
0:13:28 > 0:13:33A howling gale blowing like today, guys cranking the cupola,
0:13:33 > 0:13:37and the Kaiserliche Marine cruising up there.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40- What!- Yes, it would have been tremendous.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Enemy action, action stations!
0:13:42 > 0:13:44It is absolute...
0:13:44 > 0:13:47What a gem of a place.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49I think it's safe to say Paul is in his element.
0:13:51 > 0:13:52When World War II loomed,
0:13:52 > 0:13:56another battery post was built to strengthen defences.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01Again, this sweeping horizon,
0:14:01 > 0:14:03- whereupon the enemy could be lurking.- It's beautiful.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08I've got to say, for the guy in 1918 it could be quite terrifying,
0:14:08 > 0:14:13the hum of a Zeppelin engine overhead. But I don't know in 1940,
0:14:13 > 0:14:16the prospect of the horizon being black with landing craft...
0:14:16 > 0:14:19- Enemy ships.- That's... That's seriously hairy.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21It's different, different.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25With the advent of World War II, the Blyth Battery was still a deterrent
0:14:25 > 0:14:28to a Northumberland invasion.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Colin, what number of men served here during the war?
0:14:32 > 0:14:35There was five officers and 110 regulars
0:14:35 > 0:14:37from the garrison artillery.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40They were supplemented by men of the Home Guard,
0:14:40 > 0:14:42who used to come down from 1940.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46But by 1944, the threat of an invasion had subsided
0:14:46 > 0:14:49and when all the regulars went away for the big push in Normandy, it was
0:14:49 > 0:14:54- the Home Guard who ran this all by themselves.- Dad's Army.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58At the end of the Second World War, the guns were removed
0:14:58 > 0:15:01and the battery became popular beach chalets in the '50s
0:15:01 > 0:15:03and thereafter was used by lifeguards.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07This continued use has ensured its survival.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Baywatch, eat your heart out!
0:15:09 > 0:15:13So we've gone from the Great War and Zeppelins,
0:15:13 > 0:15:16the Second World War invasion threats,
0:15:16 > 0:15:19and now we are enjoying this as...
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Its legacy is educational, isn't it?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23It's as educational centre, exactly, yes.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26It's went from wartime to education.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27Over 100 years.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Isn't that fantastic?
0:15:29 > 0:15:33Well, I've got to say, I have had the best couple of hours
0:15:33 > 0:15:36- I've had in many a moon. Thank you very much.- Pleased you've enjoyed it. Thank you.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40Blyth Battery is the lasting testimony of a small
0:15:40 > 0:15:44British town playing a vital role during the war effort
0:15:44 > 0:15:47and, thankfully, still survives to this day.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Claire's also travelled to Blyth.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55She's got over £218 to play with.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Johnny Boy's Antiques & Modern Furnishings
0:15:59 > 0:16:03is her last shop of the day. So watch out, Johnny.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Ah, John, hello. Hiding behind your desk.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06- How are you? I'm Claire.- I'm fine.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Rustic walking sticks.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22I always like looking in cabinets. What have we got here?
0:16:22 > 0:16:24A Sikes hydrometer. Is it all right if I have a look at that?
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- Yes. Feel free.- Right.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Quite nice little instruments, these.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35I like the boxes, as well, with the original plaque in the top of it.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38There we go. There it is.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Sikes hydrometers were used by
0:16:40 > 0:16:43distillers to measure proof of alcohol,
0:16:43 > 0:16:44and hence the duty payable.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48It isn't dated but I would think, looking at the quality of it,
0:16:48 > 0:16:50we are looking at a very late 19th, early 20th century.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54No price on it at all...
0:16:54 > 0:16:56I've got to see 40.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58It's a nice item. They're quite collectable,
0:16:58 > 0:17:03but they've got a reasonably limited market. So 25 no good?
0:17:03 > 0:17:05- 30?- 28?
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- Go on.- 28?
0:17:08 > 0:17:10OK. Yeah. 28's good on that one.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12- No problem.- The other thing I noticed, John,
0:17:12 > 0:17:14when I came in, some walking sticks over here.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Which I think would make a nice little group, actually.
0:17:19 > 0:17:20I quite liked the look of these.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23I think that was the other I quite liked.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29I was thinking maybe £5 to £8 for the group?
0:17:29 > 0:17:31As a nice little group? £5?
0:17:31 > 0:17:35Cheeky! She'll stop at nothing, that one.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37They've got a price of a tenner each!
0:17:38 > 0:17:39- Make it ten.- Eight.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Go on.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Thank you very much, indeed. That's good.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48You're lucky, Claire, that Johnny is so generous.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Thank you indeed, Johnny.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54The hydrometer for £28 and the walking sticks for £8.
0:17:54 > 0:17:55Wow!
0:17:57 > 0:18:01Now Paul's heading up the coast to Amble
0:18:01 > 0:18:04with just under £170 tucked away.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08Artique is his final shopping destination.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12It's a huge emporium with around 30 dealers. He'll love that!
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- Is it Mark?- It is Mark. Hello. - How are you doing?- Nice to meet you.
0:18:19 > 0:18:20What is going on here then?
0:18:20 > 0:18:22HE EXHALES
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Be still, my beating heart.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29I turned around, looked down, period photographs.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Aerial photographs. Who takes aerial photographs?
0:18:32 > 0:18:35The military and spies, do they not?
0:18:35 > 0:18:36OK, I'm interested.
0:18:36 > 0:18:37You've got me.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42I can tell you for nothing they are mid-20th century, are they not,
0:18:42 > 0:18:46so we're probably, possibly looking at the Second World War.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50A group photo of U-boats at Danzig, similar at Kiel.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Absolutely fantastic stuff, this.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57A Dutch gunboat and M-class minesweeper.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Wait a minute - here's a box.
0:19:00 > 0:19:05Description, stereoscope and German naval views.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10Don't get me started about stereoscopy.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Incredible subject. Traces its...
0:19:12 > 0:19:16This is the viewing of photographs
0:19:16 > 0:19:21through a viewer, giving a 3-D effect. £45.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Come on. That's not a lot of money by any measure.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30What might it be worth? Well, the truth of the matter is,
0:19:30 > 0:19:36I suspect the photographs and the stereo viewer may not be related,
0:19:36 > 0:19:39they may have been brought together.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41If I'm right, the more valuable element, arguably,
0:19:41 > 0:19:43is the aerial photographs.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47The World War II reconnaissance photographs are a real find.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Could this be his flyer at auction?
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Dealer Mark is on hand to talk money.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58Caught my eye. Stereoscopic photographs of German battleships.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Fantastic, Second World War.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02I'm really into stereoscopy.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05I see the stereo viewer, I see it in what looks like Admiralty grey,
0:20:05 > 0:20:09and I think, "I've got a wartime package here."
0:20:09 > 0:20:12I am wrong, as you probably know if you're familiar with this lot.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16- Because the viewer itself is post-war.- Right.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18It's late '60s, '70s.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22And it is for large-scale stereo views, not these.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Not the smaller ones, OK.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28So I know that we could do... For the whole package, we can come down.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29It's £45 on it.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33- Yeah.- We could do that for 30.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35There's no point clowning about.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37- 30.- Yeah.- Done deal.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42And that exciting lot brings this leg's shopping to a close.
0:20:42 > 0:20:47Paul adds the reconnaissance photographs and stereoscopic viewer
0:20:47 > 0:20:48to his combo lot of metalware,
0:20:48 > 0:20:53the miniature chest of drawers, the gentleman's sword stick and
0:20:53 > 0:20:55the Art Deco lamp and shade.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Paul has spent a total of £140.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02Claire was a little more cautious, but also bought five lots.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04The collection of glass slides,
0:21:04 > 0:21:09the pottery cat, the vintage suitcase, the Sikes hydrometer
0:21:09 > 0:21:11and a group of walking sticks.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17For all that, she spent a total of £118.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21Come on, you two. Thoughts on one another's buys?
0:21:21 > 0:21:24I was a bit confused by... Well, I thought they were library steps.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26But I gather it's a lamp.
0:21:26 > 0:21:27I don't quite understand that.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32OK. I think maybe I claw back the deficit
0:21:32 > 0:21:33and go into the lead with this one.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36You heard it.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Laidlaw just jinxed himself at auction.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Let's hope not.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42It's auction time, and our road tripping pair
0:21:42 > 0:21:47are heading for their second auction at East Boldon in Tyne and Wear.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- Right, well, here we are. - Still in glorious sunshine.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55- Beautiful, isn't it? - Clash of the stereo views begins.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Yes, may the best man or woman win, eh?
0:22:00 > 0:22:04This family run auction room has been on the go for over 30 years.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Our auctioneer today is Giles Hodges.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10Come on, spill it, Giles, about our duo's offerings.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14The Art Deco standard lamp,
0:22:14 > 0:22:16great 1930s, classic of the period, might fly,
0:22:16 > 0:22:19especially because we're online as well.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Well, what do we say about the ceramic cat?
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Icon of the 1950s.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Not to everybody's taste.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32Quiet, please. The auction is about to begin.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34Quite comfortable, isn't it?
0:22:34 > 0:22:38- Let's slide off this.- Oh, you can't take these two anywhere.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43First up are Claire's batch of walking sticks.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Somebody bid me a tenner for all the walking sticks.
0:22:46 > 0:22:47- Please.- Tenner I'm bid.
0:22:47 > 0:22:4910 in the room. At £10.
0:22:49 > 0:22:5115, anyone else now?
0:22:51 > 0:22:5715. The bid's upstairs at 15. 20? 25. 25.
0:22:57 > 0:22:58At £25, we're upstairs.
0:22:58 > 0:23:0230? At £30, downstairs right.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05At £30, ladies and gentlemen, in the room at 30 quid.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11Look at that. Not bad, Claire. A good profit to start proceedings.
0:23:11 > 0:23:12I'm trying not to look too smug at the moment,
0:23:12 > 0:23:16because I think it could be all downhill from here, but still...
0:23:16 > 0:23:19That's not the spirit, Claire.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Paul's next with his Art Deco lamp-cum-table.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24I'm bid 10 to start, at 10.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27£10? 10. 15 by the door.
0:23:27 > 0:23:3315. 20? 5. 30. 5. 35 by the door.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Anybody else? At 35, 40.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37- £40.- No!
0:23:37 > 0:23:39What you mean, no? It's lovely, I'm telling you.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42In the room at £40 for the last time.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45- £40!- Very good.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Paul Laidlaw!
0:23:49 > 0:23:52£40, beautiful.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53Yeah, precisely.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56And this means you're just behind Claire in the profit stakes.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Next, it's Claire's pottery cat.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Do you wish it was still back in the sanctuary?
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- A tenner and away.- Cheeky!
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Bid me a fiver, then. £5 upstairs.
0:24:10 > 0:24:135, 10, 15.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16£15, all done, ladies and gentlemen?
0:24:16 > 0:24:18At 15.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20OK, so I've lost a little bit on that.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23I think you did well there, to be honest.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27On we go.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32Can Paul's metalware lot help him edge into the lead?
0:24:32 > 0:24:33£10 starts me.
0:24:33 > 0:24:3615. Straight in the room at £15.
0:24:36 > 0:24:3820, anybody now?
0:24:38 > 0:24:40£15 on the right.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44At £20. 25.
0:24:44 > 0:24:50At £25 in the room. We're waiting online, yes or no, £25.
0:24:50 > 0:24:55Another break even means Claire still clings on to her lead.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57It's Claire's Sikes hydrometer next.
0:24:57 > 0:25:0030. At £30. 30. £30?
0:25:01 > 0:25:02Anybody else for a fiver?
0:25:02 > 0:25:0435? Got the hand.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07At £35. 40, anybody else?
0:25:07 > 0:25:0940, downstairs left.
0:25:09 > 0:25:14£40. 45. 50. 55.
0:25:14 > 0:25:15£55, upstairs right. Your bid, sir.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19That's more like it.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Claire's launched further into the lead.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24- Smile. Keep smiling. - I can't. I'm struggling.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27I'm getting aching cheeks, you know.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Maybe the miniature chest can cheer you up.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Somebody start me, £20 for it.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38£20, we're in straightaway at 20.
0:25:38 > 0:25:44£20. 25. 30. 35.
0:25:44 > 0:25:4635, shakes his head. At £35.
0:25:46 > 0:25:4740, anybody?
0:25:47 > 0:25:50At £35, last chance.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54All done at £35.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Nice little earner, Paul,
0:25:56 > 0:25:59but it's not enough to move in front of Claire.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Claire loves her vintage luggage, it's the suitcase next.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08I'm bid straight in on commission, £10 to start me.
0:26:08 > 0:26:1115. £15. 20.
0:26:11 > 0:26:1725. 30. £30 online, 35.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20It's against you now, 40. 45.
0:26:20 > 0:26:26At £45. It's gone quiet to my left. At £45, in the room at 45.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Luggage is a good bet for profits, eh?
0:26:30 > 0:26:31Claire's still in the lead.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34I'll be keeping my eye out for more of that.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40It's Paul's stereoscopic viewer and aerial photographs next.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42He loves this lot.
0:26:42 > 0:26:4450 bid, straight in at 50.
0:26:44 > 0:26:51- At £50.- Straight in at 50?- 60. 65, 70. 75. 80, 5.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54£85.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Someone wants them in the room.
0:26:57 > 0:27:0295. 100. 110. We're upstairs at 110.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06You're out online. 120. 130, 140.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08150?
0:27:08 > 0:27:11We're still upstairs. You're out downstairs at 150.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Are we all done at 150?
0:27:14 > 0:27:18- Well done.- In the room as well.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20And that wasn't through gritted teeth, Claire.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22An astounding result, well done.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27Can Claire's glass slides help her catch up on Paul?
0:27:27 > 0:27:29£40. Straight in on commission.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32£40? Anybody for another five?
0:27:32 > 0:27:35At £40, for the last time, ladies and gentlemen.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37At £40?
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Somebody got a bargain.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Bad luck, Claire.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46And to finish the proceedings, it's Paul's gentlemen's sword stick.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Fingers crossed.
0:27:49 > 0:27:50Not too hard.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55I've got two commission bids. 80 starts me.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57At £80.
0:27:57 > 0:27:58That's where I hoped it would end.
0:27:58 > 0:28:0685, 90. 95. 100. 110. £110 upstairs. Anybody online?
0:28:06 > 0:28:09At £110, are we all done, ladies and gents?
0:28:09 > 0:28:12At £110?
0:28:13 > 0:28:15- Fair enough. - Here endeth the journey.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Another monster profit for Paul.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23- I think we need coffee and a bun, don't you?- I think we do.
0:28:23 > 0:28:24Lead on.
0:28:24 > 0:28:29What an auction, and I think we can work out the winner, eh?
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Here are the calculations, anyway.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36Claire began leg two with £300.30,
0:28:36 > 0:28:40and after auction costs made a profit of £33.70.
0:28:41 > 0:28:46Claire's grand total to carry forward is £334 exactly.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51Paul started the second leg with £279.60
0:28:51 > 0:28:59and left Claire far behind with a huge profit of £155.20.
0:28:59 > 0:29:00The Laidlaw is back.
0:29:00 > 0:29:01He is today's victor
0:29:01 > 0:29:06and has a mighty £434.80 for the next leg.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Good man.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12So, with their newly acquired cash,
0:29:12 > 0:29:16it's time to hit the road for the next leg of the trip.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19You take me to the best places, Claire!
0:29:19 > 0:29:21Yes, yes, I was going to say,
0:29:21 > 0:29:24is it you or me that's drawing this beautiful weather?
0:29:24 > 0:29:27We begin in sunny Scarborough, in North Yorkshire, and will
0:29:27 > 0:29:30auction in the town of Beverley, in the East Riding of Yorkshire.
0:29:30 > 0:29:31Good chum that she is,
0:29:31 > 0:29:34Claire is dropping Paul at his first shop of the day.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37- That'll do me. - That's it, here we are.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39It's got my name written all over it.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43Oh - didn't know your name was Antique & Collectors Centre!
0:29:43 > 0:29:46We'll return to Claire a little later.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Paul is in the lead by £100,
0:29:50 > 0:29:53but he's not resting on his laurels, oh, no, sir!
0:30:02 > 0:30:04And he's found something.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07And, uh-oh, he's got that look on his face.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11Whatever it is, it's got a ticket price of £15.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15Brace yourself, Matt. The going could be rough.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18I've never had this quandary before, in this position.
0:30:18 > 0:30:23- When I'm road tripping, I am looking for objects for auction.- Right.
0:30:23 > 0:30:29- I want that for me.- OK.- And I can't have it, because I am on a mission.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31This is an artillery shell.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34And these studs here are not decorative.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38The studs engaged with the rifling grooves, and that introduced
0:30:38 > 0:30:42the spin that gives ballistic properties to the projectile.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46- Keeps it straighter. - I think Lord Armstrong's behind it.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49Lord Armstrong was a Victorian armaments magnate,
0:30:49 > 0:30:52who dedicated his life to the improvement of artillery.
0:30:52 > 0:30:57This little beauty is a great example of his ingenuity.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Now, why on earth did somebody do that, make a watch fob?
0:31:00 > 0:31:02Because that's what we've got there.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05I'm interested in ordnance, I love watch fobs,
0:31:05 > 0:31:08this is why this was making big eyes at me.
0:31:08 > 0:31:15But more than that, rose-gold mount, and the mount is dated 1870.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17- What would you take for that?- £10.
0:31:20 > 0:31:21- Spot on.- Cheers.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25- I am not joking, I love that.- Good, good.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29£10 for the bullet watch fob.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31What's he found now?
0:31:31 > 0:31:33That's a carnival glass,
0:31:33 > 0:31:37which is glass with a flashing of metallic lustre.
0:31:37 > 0:31:38Very iridescent.
0:31:38 > 0:31:43If that makes £30 on a £4 purchase, you think I'm a superstar.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45£4?! That is cheap!
0:31:45 > 0:31:48I think that's just sold.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50And I'm not haggling. I'm just going to stick that there,
0:31:50 > 0:31:52we'll add that to the tab, will we?
0:31:52 > 0:31:55That's another to add to his growing collection, then.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01Meanwhile, Claire has travelled down the coast to the seaside
0:32:01 > 0:32:02resort of Filey.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09Now, Claire's got to pick up the pace and square up to the might
0:32:09 > 0:32:11that is Paul Laidlaw.
0:32:11 > 0:32:12He's nice.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16With over 30 dealers selling their wares in here,
0:32:16 > 0:32:20there should be lots of choice for Claire's £334.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23There's some interesting bits of militaria here, nice little bits.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27What a shame Paul isn't here.
0:32:27 > 0:32:28Hang on...
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Looks like she's thinking of stepping into
0:32:30 > 0:32:32a certain someone's specialist area.
0:32:32 > 0:32:37- Look out, Paul. - OK, so what do we have here? OK.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42Always looks vaguely military or official, doesn't it,
0:32:42 > 0:32:44something painted that colour, in metal?
0:32:44 > 0:32:46It's actually a gas mask, it says on the label,
0:32:46 > 0:32:48so let's get the lid off and see what we have.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50OK, and gas mask inside.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53I won't take it out, because I'll never get it back in there again.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57Civilian type, because everybody had to carry their gas masks,
0:32:57 > 0:33:03- OK... I quite like that. - Where's owner Neil, to talk cash?
0:33:03 > 0:33:04- Neil.- Hi, Claire.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08- We've already got a... - We have reduced it already, yes.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11Would you come down to £10 for it?
0:33:11 > 0:33:12I would, yes, yeah.
0:33:12 > 0:33:17- Oh, OK. Thank you very much indeed. - No problem.- Thank you. Great.
0:33:17 > 0:33:22- Gas mask - £10.- Half-price discount for Claire's first buy, eh?
0:33:23 > 0:33:26While she has another nose, how's Paul getting on?
0:33:27 > 0:33:28He's still in Scarborough.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32And has discovered owner Matt has another antique shop just
0:33:32 > 0:33:34a few doors along.
0:33:38 > 0:33:45So we think we've got there a mid-19th century novelty snuff,
0:33:45 > 0:33:47in a glazed earthenware.
0:33:47 > 0:33:52Modelled, of course, as a gentleman's shoe. Unmarked.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55I think it's probably a reasonable assumption that our mount
0:33:55 > 0:33:58here is silver and not electroplate.
0:33:58 > 0:34:03That's a hell of a price tag - 125 quid?
0:34:03 > 0:34:05It's a hell of an item.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08Cut to the chase then. 50 quid.
0:34:08 > 0:34:12- Proper money.- £60. And you can...
0:34:12 > 0:34:16- £55.- Go on, then!- Oh! Brilliant.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20Brilliant. I'll say it now, I love this as much as you.
0:34:20 > 0:34:25Golly, a third buy, the little novelty snuffbox for £55.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27That's not expensive.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29Claire is still in her first shop,
0:34:29 > 0:34:32and her beady eye has spotted something quite PLANE!
0:34:35 > 0:34:36Ooh, that's nice.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38It's a plane.
0:34:38 > 0:34:42It's a type of moulding plane, quite a specialised one.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45These are actually quite collectable because they're just
0:34:45 > 0:34:47such attractive items.
0:34:47 > 0:34:51Beautifully made, gorgeous patina to the wood here.
0:34:51 > 0:34:52I'll just keep looking around.
0:34:52 > 0:34:56Hey presto, hang on a minute. In amongst all the garden ornaments.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Got another one. Let's have a look.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05That's nice as well. Not quite the colour of the other one but
0:35:05 > 0:35:06very similar, just not so clean.
0:35:06 > 0:35:07It's still got brass on it.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11Let's see if there's any more.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14Oh, OK, more woodworking tools.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16That actually would make quite a nice group.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20So quite nice with the earlier wood planes with the brass on and these.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24The combined ticket price here is a total of £60.
0:35:24 > 0:35:29And she's about to ply owner Neil with her chance. Look out, Neil.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31- I've found some woodworking items. - Yes.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34There are two items there and there's some more behind me.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37Now, I've totalled up what they'd all come to.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40So I'm hoping you're going to be very generous to me.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44What are you thinking? I'm difficult to offend.
0:35:44 > 0:35:45CLAIRE GIGGLES
0:35:45 > 0:35:46TIM GIGGLES
0:35:46 > 0:35:51- That's good. Because she chances her mitt.- I was hoping for sort of £20.
0:35:51 > 0:35:5320...
0:35:53 > 0:35:5430, I think, would be a fair.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57You wouldn't split the difference and try 25?
0:36:00 > 0:36:03- Yes, I would. - That's very good of you.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06Let me relieve you of that one and shake you very warmly by the hand,
0:36:06 > 0:36:07and thank you so much.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12That was swift. £25 for the collection of wooden tools.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16Guess what. Paul STILL hasn't finished shopping with owner Matt.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21I've always liked things that are on floors,
0:36:21 > 0:36:23behind other things, thick in dust.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26Victorian writing box down there.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28They're not flying out the door any more, are they?
0:36:28 > 0:36:32- Not like they used to.- 60 quid on that one. Could that be cheap?
0:36:35 > 0:36:38- Yeah, I don't see why not. - Tempt me. 20 quid.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Half price, £30.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45And it's only the quality of that inlay that's half-tempting me.
0:36:45 > 0:36:50Could that be bought in the middle, for £25?
0:36:50 > 0:36:51I don't see why not.
0:36:51 > 0:36:55Blimey, that was a bit of a shop-athlon.
0:36:55 > 0:37:00He spent a grand total of £94 on the bullet watch fob,
0:37:00 > 0:37:02the Victorian cuff,
0:37:02 > 0:37:04the little snuffbox
0:37:04 > 0:37:06and the writing slope.
0:37:06 > 0:37:07Wow.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16Meanwhile, Claire's journeyed back north to the glorious
0:37:16 > 0:37:18seaside town of Scarborough.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23In the 1930s, this town on the Yorkshire coast became
0:37:23 > 0:37:25a resort for the rich and famous. Why? The tunny.
0:37:25 > 0:37:29Atlantic bluefin tuna began to show up in nearby waters,
0:37:29 > 0:37:34attracting big-game fishermen hoping to catch one of the most
0:37:34 > 0:37:36powerful fish in the world.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40Over 80 years ago, game fishing was widely accepted,
0:37:40 > 0:37:44and modern-day practice views it alongside conservation.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48Back then, the hunting of the tunny fish was very much a sporting
0:37:48 > 0:37:52thrill and, as such, the elite flocked to the town in their droves.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54That's a big one.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59Claire is meeting with local historian Jennifer Dunn,
0:37:59 > 0:38:00to find out more.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04In the late 1920s, early 1930s, the herring fishermen started
0:38:04 > 0:38:08noticing tuna off the coast of Scarborough, and the tuna were
0:38:08 > 0:38:12eating the herring, so they were following the fleet.
0:38:12 > 0:38:17Weighing up to 900 pounds and measuring as much as nine feet long,
0:38:17 > 0:38:20the tunny was one heck of a mighty fish.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23A chap called Lorenzo Mitchell-Henry
0:38:23 > 0:38:27caught his first tunny fish off the coast of Nova Scotia in 1914.
0:38:27 > 0:38:31He was an English aristocrat, a bit of an eccentric and he started
0:38:31 > 0:38:36the sport after catching that first tunny, and so he brought the sport
0:38:36 > 0:38:40to Scarborough. And in the first season they started catching fish
0:38:40 > 0:38:46in about 1930, and then that brought more and more people across to the town.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49All the great and the good, so it was people that had the money and the means.
0:38:49 > 0:38:53So we had military men, film stars like Errol Flynn and
0:38:53 > 0:38:58John Wayne, and then aristocrats from all over the British Isles.
0:38:58 > 0:39:03The real tragedy here is that the tunny was caught purely for sport
0:39:03 > 0:39:06and sometimes methods used were barbaric.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10As a result, the Tunny Club was founded in 1933.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13So presumably because it was a special sort of game hunting,
0:39:13 > 0:39:15there were rules, were there, to it?
0:39:15 > 0:39:18Yes, so the British Tunny Club was founded as
0:39:18 > 0:39:20a means of regulating the sport,
0:39:20 > 0:39:24but the most simple ones were that it had to be two men in either
0:39:24 > 0:39:28a rowing boat or a motor boat and it had to be caught by rod and reel.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30Claire has another appointment,
0:39:30 > 0:39:33this time with local fishermen Fred Normandale.
0:39:33 > 0:39:37And they're meeting at the original Tunny Club, now a fish and chip shop.
0:39:37 > 0:39:38That's rich!
0:39:39 > 0:39:44So this new sport must have drawn people from all over the place?
0:39:44 > 0:39:47There was big-game hunting on your doorstep - well, when I say on
0:39:47 > 0:39:49your doorstep, people came from all over the world to do it.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53But it was on our doorstep. It was unique.
0:39:53 > 0:39:57Everyone wanted the thrill of the hunt and it was some hunt.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59Quite spectacular.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01You didn't have to travel to the middle of Africa with
0:40:01 > 0:40:02a big gun and camp.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05Gosh. Imagine being hooked into one of those.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09So tell me, what are your memories of it all?
0:40:10 > 0:40:13I was right on the last latter part.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15I was six in 1954,
0:40:15 > 0:40:19and this is me with my dad in his little rowing boat.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22I can remember going into the tunny hut, and it cost tuppence,
0:40:22 > 0:40:25old money, to see the tunny.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28Because they didn't know what to do with them once they've caught them,
0:40:28 > 0:40:30the sport was catching the fish.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33They tried frying them, fish and chip shops, but most people
0:40:33 > 0:40:36would rather have had haddock or cod.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38Shoals of herring started to decline,
0:40:38 > 0:40:41and as the tunny fish's main source of food,
0:40:41 > 0:40:42they too started to disappear.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47From about 1954 when they caught the last,
0:40:47 > 0:40:50through to about 1965, I would think, '66...
0:40:50 > 0:40:55I'm not sure when the last one was but they never caught a fish for many years.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58They kept going and trying but they never found one.
0:41:00 > 0:41:04The appearance of this powerful fish transformed this Yorkshire port
0:41:04 > 0:41:09into the UK's game fishing capital in the 1930s, and illustrates
0:41:09 > 0:41:14a snapshot into time when game fishing was highly applauded.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19Paul, meanwhile, is continuing his shopping marathon -
0:41:19 > 0:41:22he's journeyed to the town of Pickering,
0:41:22 > 0:41:25situated on the edge of the North York moors.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27With four lots under his belt,
0:41:27 > 0:41:32he's off to find more goodies in JSC Collectables, owned by Caroline.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35Hello, Caroline.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40And - he's zoning in on something.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44Do you a good deal on them.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47What's a good deal...
0:41:47 > 0:41:52on a strange-looking Victorian garniture,
0:41:52 > 0:41:55that you're trying to stitch into me?
0:41:55 > 0:41:5745?
0:41:57 > 0:42:01Fundamentally there is a lot of ingenuity in this.
0:42:01 > 0:42:05And on the bottom, we've got Charles Barlow, Smithfield Works
0:42:05 > 0:42:08at Hanley, Staffs, not everyone's cup of tea.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12For my money, I think they're lovely, to be honest with you.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Give me the absolute bottom line, not a penny more,
0:42:15 > 0:42:18not a penny less but you can have them for that,
0:42:18 > 0:42:21is it 20 quid or something just to get rid of them?
0:42:22 > 0:42:27- I'll do 20 quid for the vases.- Done. Thank you very much. It was easy.
0:42:27 > 0:42:31- You've got your shelf back.- And you've got a pair of vases for £20.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33Gosh, good work.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37Well, there we are, then. What a packed day.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40And time for a rest for our two weary travellers. Night-night.
0:42:47 > 0:42:52We're back on the road, and Paul's psyching out the competition.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54So, have you waded in deep?
0:42:54 > 0:42:57Have you hacked into your considerable budget with your two purchases?
0:42:57 > 0:43:01Oh, well, no. I'll just keep that to myself.
0:43:01 > 0:43:02Quite right, Claire.
0:43:02 > 0:43:06Righty-ho, next pin in the map is in the village of Skirlaugh,
0:43:06 > 0:43:08in the East Riding of Yorkshire.
0:43:08 > 0:43:11Vintage Home Store is a huge emporium,
0:43:11 > 0:43:15and Claire is holding onto a sizeable £299.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19Claire's found the lady in charge, Steph,
0:43:19 > 0:43:22to have a look at something that has caught her eye.
0:43:22 > 0:43:25Sweet little case. Nicely marked on the lid.
0:43:25 > 0:43:28And then we put the little pince-nez,
0:43:28 > 0:43:31which just basically sit on your nose, pinch your nose.
0:43:33 > 0:43:35Glasses cases are quite collectable.
0:43:35 > 0:43:37Got a little dent in the back of it.
0:43:37 > 0:43:40I think that's actually quite sweet. Nicely chased.
0:43:40 > 0:43:42Ticket price is £69.
0:43:42 > 0:43:45One to think about. Oh, hello - what's this?
0:43:45 > 0:43:47BR Western Region.
0:43:47 > 0:43:51Hence the W in brackets after the name stamped in on the neck there.
0:43:52 > 0:43:57This is the rear light of a train. Good heavy thing.
0:43:57 > 0:43:59Standard black paint.
0:44:01 > 0:44:04Lid open, so there's like a little funnel inside,
0:44:04 > 0:44:06for the fumes to come out.
0:44:06 > 0:44:09It should have a burner inside it. Let's have a look.
0:44:11 > 0:44:14This hasn't been opened for a while. And there it is.
0:44:16 > 0:44:18Which slides in and out there.
0:44:18 > 0:44:22£55 on it, though, which is top-heavy really, for auction.
0:44:22 > 0:44:25I wanted to get it a bit less than that.
0:44:25 > 0:44:29I thought you might! Time to get in Steph.
0:44:29 > 0:44:32I don't know if you know the fellow or what he might take for it.
0:44:32 > 0:44:35- I can certainly give him a ring and see what we can do on that.- OK.
0:44:35 > 0:44:38- See what his very, very, very best price is.- OK. Will do.
0:44:38 > 0:44:42- Make him feel kindly towards me. - You're in Yorkshire, though.
0:44:42 > 0:44:45- You do realise, don't you?- Oh, but my father was a Yorkshireman.
0:44:45 > 0:44:48- Does that make any difference? - Oh, that's all right then.
0:44:48 > 0:44:50She'll stop at nothing, that one.
0:44:50 > 0:44:54- We can do 25 on that. - That's not bad.
0:44:54 > 0:44:57- OK?- Oh, that's good of him. I'll shake your hand.- Thank you.
0:44:57 > 0:44:59And there's more good news.
0:44:59 > 0:45:02- The dealer with the pince-nez is actually in, Peter.- Oh, is he?
0:45:02 > 0:45:04- Go and talk to him.- Oh, do you think it might be worth having a chat?
0:45:04 > 0:45:07- You never know. Just flutter your eyelashes.- Think that might work(?)
0:45:07 > 0:45:09THEY CHUCKLE
0:45:09 > 0:45:11One can but try.
0:45:11 > 0:45:12Ah, Peter. Hello.
0:45:12 > 0:45:15Right, let's see Claire in action.
0:45:15 > 0:45:17I quite like them.
0:45:17 > 0:45:19- You've got them marked up at 69. - Yes.
0:45:19 > 0:45:22But I am hoping for, you know, quite a bit of discount,
0:45:22 > 0:45:24because I think they're pretty...
0:45:24 > 0:45:26- How about £20 off, 45. - Would you come down to 42?
0:45:26 > 0:45:28- Yeah, that'll be fine. - Excellent, Peter. You're a good man.
0:45:28 > 0:45:31Thank you very much. Pleasure doing business. Thanks, thank you.
0:45:31 > 0:45:33There we go.
0:45:33 > 0:45:34The British Rail lamp for £25,
0:45:34 > 0:45:40and the silver spectacle case and pince-nez for £42.
0:45:40 > 0:45:44Paul is all shopped out, after his exploits yesterday
0:45:44 > 0:45:48but Claire still has some serious shopping to do and is heading
0:45:48 > 0:45:51to Bridlington for one last stop.
0:45:51 > 0:45:55This looks lovely in here. Claire's got just over £230 to spend.
0:45:59 > 0:46:03There's a little miniature gardening set, just in the front there.
0:46:03 > 0:46:06It's got a little spade. A little rake.
0:46:06 > 0:46:09And a dibber for making holes, for planting things.
0:46:09 > 0:46:12The nice thing is that it looks like ivory - it's not, it's bone.
0:46:12 > 0:46:16Ivory will be a very clear, dense white.
0:46:16 > 0:46:18Bone has blood vessels going through it,
0:46:18 > 0:46:20so you get these little brown flecks in.
0:46:20 > 0:46:22Jane's the lady in charge.
0:46:22 > 0:46:25Now for a closer look.
0:46:25 > 0:46:28I like these. I just love the way the rake's made.
0:46:28 > 0:46:30I mean, isn't that a lovely curved head on it?
0:46:30 > 0:46:34Now, then, the all-important thing. We have £78 on it.
0:46:34 > 0:46:36Is this something that I can speak to you about
0:46:36 > 0:46:38or is it for someone else?
0:46:38 > 0:46:41Jane manages to get the dealer on the phone.
0:46:41 > 0:46:43But is there a deal to be done?
0:46:43 > 0:46:47Chris has said he could do 62 on it.
0:46:47 > 0:46:5062. I'm going to have them.
0:46:51 > 0:46:54The collection of miniature gardening tools at £62
0:46:54 > 0:46:57concludes this leg's shopping bonanza.
0:47:00 > 0:47:03Claire's spent £164 on five lots.
0:47:03 > 0:47:06As well as the miniature gardening tools,
0:47:06 > 0:47:09she has the World War II gas mask,
0:47:09 > 0:47:11the collection of woodworking tools,
0:47:11 > 0:47:16the British Rail lamp and the silver spectacle case and pince-nez.
0:47:16 > 0:47:18Paul also has five lots.
0:47:18 > 0:47:19The bullet watch fob...
0:47:21 > 0:47:24The Victorian beaded cuff, writing slope,
0:47:24 > 0:47:28the novelty snuffbox, and the Charles Barlow vases.
0:47:28 > 0:47:32Paul has spent a total of £114.
0:47:32 > 0:47:34Right, my old antiques lovers,
0:47:34 > 0:47:37thoughts on one another's collections?
0:47:37 > 0:47:38It hurts me to have to say this,
0:47:38 > 0:47:41but I think he's made some good buys there.
0:47:41 > 0:47:45Would I swap for my offering? Well, what do you think?
0:47:45 > 0:47:47It's a no, folks.
0:47:48 > 0:47:50He's confident. Let's get ready to sell.
0:47:50 > 0:47:54Our road trippers are heading for their third auction at Beverley
0:47:54 > 0:47:55in the East Riding of Yorkshire.
0:47:56 > 0:48:00Situated today at Beverley Racecourse, Hawleys Auctioneers
0:48:00 > 0:48:04is run by husband-and-wife team John and Caroline Hawley.
0:48:05 > 0:48:07Caroline is in command of the room today,
0:48:07 > 0:48:09so what does she think of our duo's lots?
0:48:09 > 0:48:16The little, tiny shell, inlaid with rose gold and silver,
0:48:16 > 0:48:20and I thought, "Oh, yeah, that's a Paul Laidlaw lot, straightaway."
0:48:20 > 0:48:27The railway lamp, I have to say, it's not really my cup of tea,
0:48:27 > 0:48:30but there's an awful lot of interest in railwayana.
0:48:30 > 0:48:33Well, we'll soon see. Take your seats!
0:48:33 > 0:48:35The auction is about to begin.
0:48:35 > 0:48:39Right, up first is Paul's Victorian beaded cuff.
0:48:39 > 0:48:43£10 to start. £5.
0:48:43 > 0:48:45Don't look at me like that.
0:48:45 > 0:48:48Thank you, sir. It'll suit you nicely! £5.
0:48:48 > 0:48:54Six anywhere? Are we done at six on the net? Seven, sir?
0:48:54 > 0:48:57- Seven, are you back in?- Don't go up in pounds, don't go up in pounds.
0:48:57 > 0:49:02- Never good when you go up in pounds. - Ten on the net. 12 anywhere?
0:49:02 > 0:49:0512 on the internet. 14 anywhere?
0:49:05 > 0:49:0914 on the net. 16.
0:49:09 > 0:49:12Do feel free to join us. 18. 18 on the internet.
0:49:12 > 0:49:16- 18 now!- Are we done at £18?
0:49:17 > 0:49:2120. You just snuck in, madam. 20 in the room.
0:49:21 > 0:49:2422 anywhere? 20 in the room...
0:49:24 > 0:49:28All done at £20...
0:49:28 > 0:49:31A good return on your £4 there, Paul.
0:49:31 > 0:49:34- 500%.- Oh, be quiet.
0:49:34 > 0:49:36If I stick to that...
0:49:36 > 0:49:39Well, I'll be walking out of here in a minute!
0:49:41 > 0:49:45Keep the faith, Claire. It's your World War II gas mask next.
0:49:45 > 0:49:49Start me cheap. £10 for the gas mask. That's straight in. Ten.
0:49:49 > 0:49:5512 anywhere? 12. 14, 16, 18, 20, 22.
0:49:55 > 0:49:57No? 20 at the back of the room.
0:49:57 > 0:50:0122 anywhere? 22. Who said 22?
0:50:01 > 0:50:0724, 26, 28, 30. 32, 34? No?
0:50:07 > 0:50:1132 at the back of the room. 34 anywhere?
0:50:11 > 0:50:15All done at £32...
0:50:15 > 0:50:17A pleasant surprise, Claire.
0:50:17 > 0:50:19Nice profit to launch you into lead position.
0:50:19 > 0:50:23You are in the lead, Claire Rawle. I couldn't be happier for you.
0:50:23 > 0:50:26Aw, this has started well, hasn't it?
0:50:26 > 0:50:30It has, Paul. The Charles Barlow vases are next.
0:50:30 > 0:50:32I've got bids on the sheets.
0:50:32 > 0:50:36I have to start you at £60. 65 anywhere?
0:50:36 > 0:50:40Oh, it's all on commission. It's all on commission! It's all on paper.
0:50:40 > 0:50:44£60, surely? All done at 60...
0:50:45 > 0:50:4965, just in time. 70 anywhere?
0:50:49 > 0:50:5265 with John, 70 anywhere?
0:50:52 > 0:50:54All done at 65...
0:50:54 > 0:50:57- That was all right. - I think that's fair enough.
0:50:57 > 0:51:00Very nice, and you've taken the lead.
0:51:00 > 0:51:04The woodworking tools bought by Claire are next.
0:51:05 > 0:51:08A nice little lot, everything you need to set yourself up
0:51:08 > 0:51:09with a joiner's workshop.
0:51:09 > 0:51:11What's this worth?
0:51:11 > 0:51:16£40? 20 to go. Come along. Who's going to give me...
0:51:16 > 0:51:21Thank you, sir. £20. 22 anywhere? £20, surely.
0:51:21 > 0:51:2522, 24, 26. 28, 30. 30.
0:51:25 > 0:51:3232, 34, 36, 38. 38? Go on. 40. No?
0:51:32 > 0:51:3738, with you, sir. 38 in the room. 40 anywhere?
0:51:37 > 0:51:38Are we done at...?
0:51:38 > 0:51:4340's back again. 42! Just one more. 42.
0:51:43 > 0:51:48You're shaking your head the wrong way. No? £40, I have you...
0:51:48 > 0:51:51All done at 40...
0:51:51 > 0:51:53Not too bad, that could...
0:51:54 > 0:51:57- HE GROANS - You thought it...
0:51:57 > 0:52:00Look at you couple of giggling Gerties!
0:52:00 > 0:52:03Nice profit, though, there, Claire.
0:52:03 > 0:52:04There's nothing in it.
0:52:04 > 0:52:07- No, it's a bit neck and neck. - I can just about touch you.
0:52:10 > 0:52:11You're right, Paul.
0:52:11 > 0:52:15It's anyone's game at the moment, and your writing slope is next.
0:52:15 > 0:52:20- I've got to start you at £35, 40 anywhere?- What a gift!
0:52:20 > 0:52:2340. 45, 50, 55.
0:52:23 > 0:52:25- 60, 65.- Smile, smile.
0:52:25 > 0:52:2760 with you, Roy.
0:52:27 > 0:52:29- 65 anywhere?- It's cheap.- It is.
0:52:29 > 0:52:31- It's a cheap box.- It is. - Are we done at £60?
0:52:31 > 0:52:36It's a cheap lot. I have you. £60...
0:52:36 > 0:52:4065. 70, Roy.
0:52:40 > 0:52:4270, I have in the room.
0:52:42 > 0:52:47- 75 anywhere?- Tell them how nice it is! Tell them how nice it is!
0:52:47 > 0:52:50It's scratched, it's scratched! There's a huge scratch on it.
0:52:51 > 0:52:54All done at 70...
0:52:54 > 0:52:56Another chunk of a profit.
0:52:56 > 0:52:59The quality inlay helped things along there.
0:52:59 > 0:53:04By my reckoning, I'm up £790, but that's just roughly.
0:53:04 > 0:53:07Hey, wildly wrong there, sunshine!
0:53:07 > 0:53:09Yeah, your maths never was your strong point, was it?!
0:53:11 > 0:53:13Claire's British Rail lamp is next.
0:53:14 > 0:53:15Going to have to start you at £42.
0:53:15 > 0:53:17- Bang on the money.- Oh, OK. - Bang on the money.
0:53:17 > 0:53:1944. Thank you, 46?
0:53:19 > 0:53:2546, 48. 50, 55, 60. 65, 70.
0:53:25 > 0:53:2870, are you in? 70, 75.
0:53:28 > 0:53:30£70 with you, madam.
0:53:30 > 0:53:34All done at 70...
0:53:34 > 0:53:37That's a corker of a profit. Well done, Claire.
0:53:40 > 0:53:43It's Paul's favourite lot of the road trip next.
0:53:43 > 0:53:45The bullet watch fob.
0:53:45 > 0:53:48- £40. 45 anywhere?- Ooh, excellent. - It's worth...
0:53:48 > 0:53:53All over. 45, 50. 55, 60. 65, 70.
0:53:53 > 0:53:5670? 75. £70 with you, sir.
0:53:56 > 0:53:58In the room, people know!
0:53:58 > 0:54:01- £70 I have.- People get it!
0:54:01 > 0:54:03- 75 anywhere?- Oh, well...
0:54:03 > 0:54:07All done at £70...
0:54:07 > 0:54:09- Well done!- Justice done!
0:54:09 > 0:54:10Well done.
0:54:10 > 0:54:13Well, the room appreciated the watch fob.
0:54:13 > 0:54:16That's another large profit for Paul.
0:54:16 > 0:54:18- I didn't think they'd know.- Yeah.
0:54:18 > 0:54:20- Wow.- Well, yeah, there are...
0:54:20 > 0:54:22This is a sophisticated crowd out here!
0:54:22 > 0:54:24Certainly is. Come on, Claire.
0:54:24 > 0:54:27Can your spectacle case help you catch up on Paul's lead?
0:54:27 > 0:54:28Let's get into focus.
0:54:28 > 0:54:34Give me £20 to start. Thank you, all over. 20, 22, 24.
0:54:34 > 0:54:3926, 28, 30. 32, 34, 36. 38, 40, 42.
0:54:39 > 0:54:45£40 with you, sir. 42. 44.
0:54:45 > 0:54:48- 46, 48, 50. 55.- You're in it now.
0:54:48 > 0:54:5460, 65. 70. 75. Just one more?
0:54:54 > 0:54:56You're nodding your head the wrong way. Go on!
0:54:56 > 0:54:57You know you want them. 75!
0:54:57 > 0:55:0180. 85.
0:55:01 > 0:55:0685? No? £80 I have from you.
0:55:06 > 0:55:08All done at 80... Thank you.
0:55:09 > 0:55:12Excellent profit, Claire. You're inching closer to Paul.
0:55:12 > 0:55:15- There's nothing in this with two items to go each.- Two to go.
0:55:15 > 0:55:18- And our biggest spends.- There are...
0:55:18 > 0:55:19Correct.
0:55:19 > 0:55:22It's the novelty snuffbox from Paul now.
0:55:22 > 0:55:25Straight in at £100.
0:55:25 > 0:55:26- 110 anywhere?- Mmm!
0:55:26 > 0:55:28- MAN: Yes. - Thank you, John.
0:55:28 > 0:55:31110 in the room. 120 on the internet.
0:55:31 > 0:55:34120 on the internet, 130 anywhere?
0:55:34 > 0:55:38- MAN: 122. - 122! He's bloomin' awkward again!
0:55:38 > 0:55:43- Good on you!- 122, thank you so much, John. I'll see you later, 122...
0:55:43 > 0:55:48What are you doing, sir? Are you waving, or...? 125. Thank you, sir.
0:55:48 > 0:55:53125. 130, John. 125, I have in the room. 130 on the internet.
0:55:53 > 0:55:56- No!- 135, I'll oblige. No?
0:55:56 > 0:56:00All done at £130...
0:56:00 > 0:56:03- Fair enough.- Yeah, they spotted it. - Yeah, yeah...- They spotted it.
0:56:03 > 0:56:05Hey, Paul certainly knows what he's doing.
0:56:05 > 0:56:07An astounding result.
0:56:07 > 0:56:09Just looking in my rear-view mirror...
0:56:09 > 0:56:10No, I can't see you!
0:56:12 > 0:56:14You wait, you wait!
0:56:15 > 0:56:18Don't get too cocky there, Paul. Come on, Claire.
0:56:18 > 0:56:22The miniature gardening tools are the last lot of the day.
0:56:22 > 0:56:27- I'm going to have to start you at £25.- That's a bit disappointing.
0:56:27 > 0:56:30Straight in, 30. Thank you, sir.
0:56:30 > 0:56:3435, 40, 45. 50. No?
0:56:34 > 0:56:37- 45 with the lady at the back.- I think they might...- I know! Come on!
0:56:37 > 0:56:4350, 55. 60, 65. 70. 65 at the back.
0:56:43 > 0:56:45Are we done at £65?
0:56:45 > 0:56:48- Hang on... Oh. Bid, bid. - It's a gorgeous little lot.
0:56:48 > 0:56:53Hello. 70. 75, 80.
0:56:53 > 0:56:5985. 90. 95. 100.
0:56:59 > 0:57:05- 110. 120. 130. 140.- I don't know, it looks like smart trade.
0:57:05 > 0:57:08- You're shaking your head the wrong way, sir.- You've made good money.
0:57:08 > 0:57:10Yes, 140, he's in.
