-It's the nation's favourite antiques experts... -That's cracking! | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
-..with £200 each... -Wonderful. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
..a classic car, and a goal to scour Britain for antiques. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:11 | |
-That's exactly what I'm talking about! -I'm all over a-shiver. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
-No-brainer. -Going, going, gone. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
There'll be worthy winners, and valiant losers. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
-So will it be the high road to glory... -Push! | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
-..or the slow road to disaster? -How awfully, awfully nice. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:30 | |
This is Antiques Road Trip! | 0:00:30 | 0:00:31 | |
Yeah! | 0:00:34 | 0:00:35 | |
Happy days are here again. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
It's the third helping of our Road Trip spectacular, | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
with auctioneers Claire Rawle and Paul Laidlaw. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:49 | |
You take me to the best places, Claire! | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
Yes, yes, I was going to say, | 0:00:52 | 0:00:53 | |
is it you or me that's drawing this beautiful weather? | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
It's the righteousness in this car, that's what it is! | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
-CLAIRE LAUGHS -Yeah, right. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
-Blimey. Last time... -Be still my beating heart. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:06 | |
..Paul reigned victorious with his superb World War II | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
reconnaissance photographs. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
150... | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
Well done, you! | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
Despite Paul's last big win, it's all to play for. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:19 | |
-And you know what separates us, of course? -Mm? | 0:01:19 | 0:01:23 | |
-Is one good buy, or one duff buy. -Yeah... -That's how close it is. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:28 | |
-It's always on a knife edge. -No kidding, Paul. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
From her original £200, Claire has £334 jangling around in her handbag. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:38 | |
Paul also began with £200, | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
but he's sneaked into the lead, with a big wodge of £434.80. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:47 | |
Cheer up, old boy! | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
The 1968 TVR Tuscan is their purring vehicle of choice. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:56 | |
It's just like being in the Mediterranean. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
-Seriously, could easily be abroad. -Yes, until you get out of the car! | 0:01:59 | 0:02:03 | |
-Yes! -And the biting wind hits you. -Never a truer word, Claire. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:09 | |
Paul and Claire set off from Wooler in Northumberland. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
They began in the north-east of England, | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
and will traverse through South Yorkshire, | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
to finally land in the town of Stamford, in Lincolnshire. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
Today we're at the seaside. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
We begin in sunny Scarborough, in North Yorkshire, and will | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
auction in the town of Beverley, in the East Riding of Yorkshire. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:32 | |
Do you know what, I wouldn't mind a little piddle-paddle down there. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
Fancy stopping, and I'll just take my shoes and socks off, | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
roll up the trousers and be a wee laddie again. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
Piddle-paddle?! | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
Good chum that she is, | 0:02:46 | 0:02:47 | |
Claire is dropping Paul at his first shop of the day. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
-That'll do me. -That's it, here we are. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
It's got my name written all over it. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
Oh - didn't know your name was Antique & Collectors Centre! | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
Well, I should say, "Good shopping," but not TOO good! | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
I wouldn't believe you! | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
We'll return to Claire a little later. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
Paul is in the lead by £100, | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
but he's not resting on his laurels, oh, no, sir! | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
I feel good. I'm ahead of the competition, but not by enough. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:18 | |
Seriously, there is no safety in that margin. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:22 | |
So I may be all chipper and upbeat, | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
but I'm also in Antiques Terminator mode! | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
There's work to be done here. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
Crumbs. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
And he's found something. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
And, uh-oh, he's got that look on his face. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
Whatever it is, it's got a ticket price of £15. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:51 | |
Brace yourself, Matt. The going could be rough. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:55 | |
I've never had this quandary before, in this position. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
-When I'm road tripping, I am looking for objects for auction. -Right. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:03 | |
-I want that for me. -OK. -And I can't have it, because I am on a mission. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:09 | |
It looks like a Dalek. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:11 | |
What you've got there is not a Dalek, this is an artillery shell. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:17 | |
And these studs here are not decorative. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
The studs engaged with the rifling grooves, and that introduced | 0:04:20 | 0:04:24 | |
the spin that gives ballistic properties to the projectile. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:28 | |
-Keeps it straighter. -I think Lord Armstrong's behind it. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:32 | |
Lord Armstrong was a Victorian armaments magnate, | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
who dedicated his life to the improvement of artillery. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:39 | |
This little beauty is a great example of his ingenuity. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:43 | |
Now, why on earth did somebody do that, make a watch fob? | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
Because that's what we've got there. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:48 | |
I'm interested in ordnance, I love watch fobs, | 0:04:48 | 0:04:52 | |
this is why this was making big eyes at me. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
But more than that, rose-gold mount, and the mount is dated 1870. | 0:04:54 | 0:05:01 | |
-What would you take for that? -£10. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:04 | |
-Spot on. -Cheers. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:08 | |
-I am not joking, I love that. -Good, good. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
Do you know what, if I was in a romantic mood, | 0:05:11 | 0:05:13 | |
I would elope with it. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:14 | |
Steady! | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
One of the best things I've ever found road tripping, I kid you not. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:20 | |
Crikey Moses, that's some statement. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:23 | |
£10 for the bullet watch fob. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
While Paul is in full attack mode, Claire is taking in the scenery. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:31 | |
Just such glorious weather, the sea here is fantastic. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:38 | |
Absolutely wonderful place, love it. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
Back to Paul. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:44 | |
He's still mooching around the Antique & Collectors Centre. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:48 | |
-It's beautiful, I can't buy it - it's too cheap. -£4, that IS cheap! | 0:05:50 | 0:05:55 | |
That's a carnival glass, | 0:05:56 | 0:05:58 | |
which is glass with a flashing of metallic lustre. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:02 | |
Very iridescent. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:04 | |
But people do collect it, could be late 19th century, | 0:06:04 | 0:06:07 | |
could be as late as the 1920s. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:09 | |
I think that's absolutely gorgeous. Picture your flapper dress, yeah? | 0:06:09 | 0:06:14 | |
With your fringes and so on - that's just going to work a treat, | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
is it not? | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
Yeah... Lovely combo. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:20 | |
If that makes £30 on a £4 purchase, you think I'm a superstar. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:25 | |
We do anyway, Paul! | 0:06:25 | 0:06:27 | |
I think that's just sold. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:30 | |
And I'm not haggling. I'm just going to stick that there, | 0:06:30 | 0:06:32 | |
we'll add that to the tab, will we? | 0:06:32 | 0:06:34 | |
That's another to add to his growing collection, then. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:37 | |
Meanwhile, Claire has travelled down the coast to the seaside | 0:06:39 | 0:06:43 | |
resort of Filey. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:44 | |
Now, Claire's got to pick up the pace and square up to the might | 0:06:46 | 0:06:51 | |
that is Paul Laidlaw. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:52 | |
He's nice. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
With over 30 dealers selling their wares in here, | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
there should be lots of choice for Claire's £334. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:02 | |
She loves collectables, | 0:07:02 | 0:07:03 | |
and in particular is a great fan of all things railway. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:06 | |
Always just wanting something to jump out at you. Ooh, trains! | 0:07:08 | 0:07:13 | |
My favourite! | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
For my first birthday, my father bought me a train set, | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
so maybe that's what set me on the way, yeah. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
Good old Dad. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:23 | |
There's some interesting bits of militaria here, nice little bits. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:27 | |
What a shame Paul isn't here. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
Hang on... | 0:07:30 | 0:07:31 | |
Looks like she's thinking of stepping into | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
a certain someone's specialist area. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:35 | |
-Look out, Paul. -OK, so what do we have here? OK. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:41 | |
Always looks vaguely military or official, doesn't it, | 0:07:43 | 0:07:46 | |
something painted that colour, in metal? | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
It's actually a gas mask, it says on the label, | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
so let's get the lid off and see what we have. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |
OK, and gas mask inside. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:54 | |
I won't take it out, because I'll never get it back in there again. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
Civilian type, because everybody had to carry their gas masks, | 0:07:57 | 0:08:01 | |
World War II. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:02 | |
Should have had a strap, obviously. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:07 | |
We've just got some rather modern string on it now, | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
not quite so good. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:10 | |
-OK... I quite like that. -Where's owner Neil, to talk cash? | 0:08:12 | 0:08:18 | |
-Neil. -Hi, Claire. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:19 | |
-We've already got a... -We have reduced it already, yes. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:23 | |
Would you come down to £10 for it? | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
I would, yes, yeah. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:26 | |
-Oh, OK. Thank you very much indeed. -No problem. -Thank you. Great. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:31 | |
-Gas mask - £10. -Half-price discount for Claire's first buy, eh? | 0:08:31 | 0:08:36 | |
While she has another nose, how's Paul getting on? | 0:08:37 | 0:08:40 | |
He's still in Scarborough. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:43 | |
And has discovered owner Matt has another antique shop just | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
a few doors along. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:48 | |
So we think we've got there a mid-19th century novelty snuff, | 0:08:53 | 0:09:00 | |
in a glazed earthenware. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
Modelled, of course, as a gentleman's shoe. Unmarked. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:07 | |
I think it's probably a reasonable assumption that our mount | 0:09:07 | 0:09:10 | |
here is silver and not electroplate. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:14 | |
That's a hell of a price tag - 125 quid? | 0:09:14 | 0:09:18 | |
It's a hell of an item. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:20 | |
-OK. I'll ask you a question first - you had it long? -Six months. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:25 | |
Six months, that's an eternity. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:28 | |
I see where he's going with this one... | 0:09:28 | 0:09:30 | |
Cut to the chase then. 50 quid. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:33 | |
-Proper money. -£60. And you can... | 0:09:33 | 0:09:37 | |
-£55. -Go on, then! -Oh! Brilliant. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:41 | |
Brilliant. I'll say it now, I love this as much as you. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:45 | |
Golly, a third buy, the little novelty snuffbox for £55. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:50 | |
That's not expensive. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
Claire is still in her first shop, | 0:09:52 | 0:09:54 | |
and her beady eye has spotted something quite PLANE! | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
Ooh, that's nice. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:01 | |
It's a plane. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:03 | |
It's a type of moulding plane, quite a specialised one. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:07 | |
These are actually quite collectable because they're just | 0:10:07 | 0:10:10 | |
such attractive items. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
Beautifully made, gorgeous patina to the wood here. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:16 | |
Lovely brass fittings on it. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:18 | |
And they've also got the original blade in it. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:22 | |
That's a nice item, I do like that. I'll just keep looking around. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:26 | |
Hey presto, hang on a minute. In amongst all the garden ornaments. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:30 | |
Got another one. Let's have a look. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
That's nice as well. Not quite the colour of the other one but | 0:10:35 | 0:10:39 | |
very similar, just not so clean. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:40 | |
It's still got brass on it. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:41 | |
Let's see if there's any more. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:45 | |
Oh, OK, more woodworking tools. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
That actually would make quite a nice group. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
So quite nice with the earlier wood planes with the brass on and these. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:54 | |
The combined ticket price here is a total of £60. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:58 | |
And she's about to ply owner Neil with her chance. Look out, Neil. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:03 | |
-I've found some woodworking items. -Yes. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:05 | |
There are two items there and there's some more behind me. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:08 | |
Now, I've totalled up what they'd all come to. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
So I'm hoping you're going to be very generous to me because I like | 0:11:11 | 0:11:15 | |
them as a group, I think they're an interesting mix of things, | 0:11:15 | 0:11:19 | |
so I'm just wondering if I can sort of get you down quite a bit. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:23 | |
What are you thinking? I'm difficult to offend. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
CLAIRE GIGGLES | 0:11:26 | 0:11:27 | |
TIM GIGGLES | 0:11:27 | 0:11:29 | |
-That's good. Because she chances her mitt. -I was hoping for sort of £20. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:33 | |
20... | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
30, I think, would be a fair. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
You wouldn't split the difference and try 25? | 0:11:37 | 0:11:40 | |
-Yes, I would. -That's very good of you. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:45 | |
Let me relieve you of that one and shake you very warmly by the hand, | 0:11:45 | 0:11:48 | |
and thank you so much. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:50 | |
That was swift. £25 for the collection of wooden tools. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:55 | |
Guess what. Paul STILL hasn't finished shopping with owner Matt. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:59 | |
I've found a rich vein, and when a miner finds a rich vein, | 0:12:01 | 0:12:06 | |
he keeps tapping away until it's gone. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:10 | |
And between these two shops, I'm having a ball. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:13 | |
I think that's an understatement, | 0:12:14 | 0:12:16 | |
he's already found three items and he's unearthed another. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:20 | |
-Matt... -Yes. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:22 | |
I've always liked things that are on floors, | 0:12:22 | 0:12:26 | |
behind other things, thick in dust. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:28 | |
Victorian writing box down there. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:30 | |
They're not flying out the door any more, are they? | 0:12:30 | 0:12:32 | |
-Not like they used to. -60 quid on that one. Could that be cheap? | 0:12:32 | 0:12:37 | |
-Yeah, I don't see why not. -Tempt me. 20 quid. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:43 | |
Half price, £30. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:46 | |
And it's only the quality of that inlay that's half-tempting me. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:50 | |
Could that be bought in the middle, for £25? | 0:12:50 | 0:12:55 | |
I don't see why not. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:56 | |
Blimey, that was a bit of a shop-athlon. | 0:12:56 | 0:13:00 | |
He spent a grand total of £94 on the bullet watch fob, | 0:13:00 | 0:13:05 | |
the Victorian cuff, | 0:13:05 | 0:13:07 | |
the little snuffbox | 0:13:07 | 0:13:09 | |
and the writing slope. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:11 | |
Wow. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:12 | |
Meanwhile, Claire's journeyed back north to the glorious | 0:13:18 | 0:13:22 | |
seaside town of Scarborough. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:24 | |
In the 1930s, this town on the Yorkshire coast became | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
a resort for the rich and famous. Why? The tunny. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:31 | |
Atlantic bluefin tuna began to show up in nearby waters, | 0:13:31 | 0:13:35 | |
attracting big-game fishermen hoping to catch one of the most | 0:13:35 | 0:13:40 | |
powerful fish in the world. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:42 | |
Over 80 years ago, game fishing was widely accepted, | 0:13:42 | 0:13:45 | |
and modern-day practice views it alongside conservation. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:50 | |
Back then, the hunting of the tunny fish was very much a sporting | 0:13:50 | 0:13:54 | |
thrill and, as such, the elite flocked to the town in their droves. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:58 | |
That's a big one. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:00 | |
Claire is meeting with local historian Jennifer Dunn, | 0:14:01 | 0:14:05 | |
to find out more. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:06 | |
In the late 1920s, early 1930s, the herring fishermen started | 0:14:06 | 0:14:10 | |
noticing tuna off the coast of Scarborough, and the tuna were | 0:14:10 | 0:14:14 | |
eating the herring, so they were following the fleet. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:18 | |
Weighing up to 900 pounds and measuring as much as nine feet long, | 0:14:18 | 0:14:23 | |
the tunny was one heck of a mighty fish. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:26 | |
A chap called Lorenzo Mitchell-Henry | 0:14:26 | 0:14:29 | |
caught his first tunny fish off the coast of Nova Scotia in 1914. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:33 | |
He was an English aristocrat, a bit of an eccentric and he started | 0:14:33 | 0:14:37 | |
the sport after catching that first tunny, and so he brought the sport | 0:14:37 | 0:14:42 | |
to Scarborough. And in the first season they started catching fish | 0:14:42 | 0:14:46 | |
in about 1930, and then that brought more and more people across to the town. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:51 | |
All the great and the good, so it was people that had the money and the means. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:55 | |
So we had military men, film stars like Errol Flynn and | 0:14:55 | 0:14:59 | |
John Wayne, and then aristocrats from all over the British Isles. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:03 | |
The real tragedy here is that the tunny was caught purely for sport | 0:15:03 | 0:15:08 | |
and sometimes methods used were barbaric. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:12 | |
As a result, the Tunny Club was founded in 1933. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:16 | |
So presumably because it was a special sort of game hunting, | 0:15:16 | 0:15:19 | |
there were rules, were there, to it? | 0:15:19 | 0:15:21 | |
Yes, so the British Tunny Club was founded as | 0:15:21 | 0:15:24 | |
a means of regulating the sport, | 0:15:24 | 0:15:26 | |
but the most simple ones were that it had to be two men in either | 0:15:26 | 0:15:29 | |
a rowing boat or a motor boat and it had to be caught by rod and reel. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:34 | |
Claire has another appointment, | 0:15:34 | 0:15:36 | |
this time with local fishermen Fred Normandale. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:39 | |
And they're meeting at the original Tunny Club, now a fish and chip shop. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:43 | |
That's rich! | 0:15:43 | 0:15:44 | |
So this new sport must have drawn people from all over the place? | 0:15:45 | 0:15:49 | |
There was big-game hunting on your doorstep - well, when I say on | 0:15:49 | 0:15:53 | |
your doorstep, people came from all over the world to do it. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
But it was on our doorstep. It was unique. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
Everyone wanted the thrill of the hunt and it was some hunt. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:03 | |
Quite spectacular. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:04 | |
You didn't have to travel to the middle of Africa with | 0:16:04 | 0:16:07 | |
a big gun and camp. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:08 | |
Gosh. Imagine being hooked into one of those. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:11 | |
So tell me, what are your memories of it all? | 0:16:12 | 0:16:15 | |
I was right on the last latter part. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
I was six in 1954, | 0:16:18 | 0:16:21 | |
and this is me with my dad in his little rowing boat. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:25 | |
I can remember going into the tunny hut, and it cost tuppence, | 0:16:25 | 0:16:28 | |
old money, to see the tunny. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:30 | |
Because they didn't know what to do with them once they've caught them, | 0:16:30 | 0:16:33 | |
the sport was catching the fish. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:36 | |
They tried frying them, fish and chip shops, but most people | 0:16:36 | 0:16:39 | |
would rather have had haddock or cod. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:42 | |
Shoals of herring started to decline, | 0:16:42 | 0:16:44 | |
and as the tunny fish's main source of food, | 0:16:44 | 0:16:46 | |
they too started to disappear. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:48 | |
From about 1954 when they caught the last, | 0:16:49 | 0:16:53 | |
through to about 1965, I would think, '66... | 0:16:53 | 0:16:56 | |
I'm not sure when the last one was but they never caught a fish for many years. | 0:16:56 | 0:17:01 | |
They kept going and trying but they never found one. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |
The appearance of this powerful fish transformed this Yorkshire port | 0:17:05 | 0:17:10 | |
into the UK's game fishing capital in the 1930s, and illustrates | 0:17:10 | 0:17:15 | |
a snapshot into time when game fishing was highly applauded. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:19 | |
Paul, meanwhile, is continuing his shopping marathon - | 0:17:22 | 0:17:25 | |
he's journeyed to the town of Pickering, | 0:17:25 | 0:17:28 | |
situated on the edge of the North York moors. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:31 | |
With four lots under his belt, | 0:17:31 | 0:17:33 | |
he's off to find more goodies in JSC Collectables, owned by Caroline. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:38 | |
Hello, Caroline. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:40 | |
And - he's zoning in on something. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:46 | |
Do you a good deal on them. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:51 | |
What's a good deal... | 0:17:52 | 0:17:54 | |
on a strange-looking Victorian garniture, | 0:17:54 | 0:17:59 | |
that you're trying to stitch into me, | 0:17:59 | 0:18:03 | |
to free up that whole shelf | 0:18:03 | 0:18:05 | |
in one fell swoop? | 0:18:05 | 0:18:07 | |
-Am I close? -I just want rid of it. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:11 | |
At least she's honest. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:13 | |
OK, give me a "Can't possibly walk by it" price, then. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:18 | |
45? | 0:18:19 | 0:18:21 | |
Oh... Pair of vases. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:24 | |
So what are we looking at? | 0:18:24 | 0:18:26 | |
1860-70, English and then this patent technique, | 0:18:26 | 0:18:30 | |
the finches in amongst the oak apples and acorns, which is | 0:18:30 | 0:18:33 | |
actually rather nicely done, but the patent will partly refer to | 0:18:33 | 0:18:38 | |
the fact that you've got the burnished gilt and the matt. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:42 | |
Right. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:43 | |
Fundamentally there is a lot of ingenuity in this. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:47 | |
And on the bottom, we've got Charles Barlow, Smithfield Works | 0:18:47 | 0:18:51 | |
at Hanley, Staffs, not everyone's cup of tea. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
For my money, I think they're lovely, to be honest with you. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:58 | |
Charles Barlow was an esteemed late 19th-century china decorator | 0:18:59 | 0:19:03 | |
working in Hanley, one of the major Staffordshire pottery towns. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:07 | |
Give me the absolute bottom line, not a penny more, | 0:19:08 | 0:19:11 | |
not a penny less but you can have them for that, | 0:19:11 | 0:19:14 | |
is it 20 quid or something just to get rid of them? | 0:19:14 | 0:19:17 | |
-I'll do 20 quid for the vases. -Done. Thank you very much. It was easy. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:23 | |
-You've got your shelf back. -And you've got a pair of vases for £20. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:27 | |
Gosh, good work. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:29 | |
Seriously. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:32 | |
-Touch me, just for luck. -Easy. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:34 | |
Because that's the kind of day I'm having. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:38 | |
I could be on a clean sweep today. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:40 | |
What a happy chappie. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:43 | |
Well, there we are, then. What a packed day. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:48 | |
And time for a rest for our two weary travellers. Night-night. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:52 | |
We're back on the road, and Paul's psyching out the competition. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:03 | |
So, have you waded in deep? | 0:20:03 | 0:20:05 | |
Have you hacked into your considerable budget with your two purchases? | 0:20:05 | 0:20:08 | |
Oh, well, no. I'll just keep that to myself. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:12 | |
Quite right, Claire. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:14 | |
Here's a refresher of what our lovely pair have bought so far. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:18 | |
Paul has had a shopping frenzy. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:20 | |
He's got five lots already. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:22 | |
The bullet watch fob. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:25 | |
The Victorian cuff. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:27 | |
The gentleman's shoe snuffbox. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:29 | |
The writing slope. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:31 | |
And the Charles Barlow vases. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:33 | |
Paul has £320.80 for the day ahead. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:37 | |
Claire is continuing in her cautious style. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:44 | |
She has two lots, comprising the World War II civilian gas mask | 0:20:44 | 0:20:47 | |
and the collection of woodworking tools. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:50 | |
Claire has a sizeable £299 for the day ahead. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:55 | |
Claire has got some serious shopping to do. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:58 | |
The village of Skirlaugh, | 0:20:58 | 0:20:59 | |
in the East Riding of Yorkshire, | 0:20:59 | 0:21:02 | |
is her next pin in the map. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:04 | |
-Look at that for an entrance. -That's not bad. -The lions await. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:07 | |
-They do indeed. Right... -Have a good 'un. -Yeah, and you. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:11 | |
Vintage Home Store is a huge emporium, | 0:21:11 | 0:21:15 | |
with 72 dealers all under one roof. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:17 | |
Claire has found the lady in charge, Steph, | 0:21:22 | 0:21:25 | |
to have a look at something that has caught her eye. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:28 | |
Sweet little case. Nicely marked on the lid. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:31 | |
And then we put the little pince-nez, | 0:21:31 | 0:21:33 | |
which just basically sit on your nose, pinch your nose. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:37 | |
Glasses cases are quite collectable. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:40 | |
Got a little dent in the back of it. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
I think that's actually quite sweet. Nicely chased. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:45 | |
Has got initials on it, but I don't think it matters so much with | 0:21:45 | 0:21:48 | |
something like this, because it's really part of the decoration. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:51 | |
Ticket price is £69. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:54 | |
Is this something of yours, or is it...? | 0:21:54 | 0:21:56 | |
No, this belongs to one of our dealers. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:59 | |
Time to make a phone call. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:00 | |
-Ah. -Spoken to the dealer. The best he can do on that is 60. -No. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:07 | |
-No, I can't go anywhere near that. No. I'll leave that one, then. -OK. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:10 | |
-Thank you for trying, though. -All right. No problem. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:12 | |
-Thank you very much. -Thank you. -Oh, well. You win some, you lose some. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:15 | |
I'm sure you can find something else. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:17 | |
BR Western Region. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:23 | |
Hence the W in brackets after the name stamped in on the neck there. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:27 | |
This is the rear light of a train. Good heavy thing. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:33 | |
Standard black paint. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:35 | |
Lid open, so there's like a little funnel inside, | 0:22:37 | 0:22:40 | |
for the fumes to come out. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:42 | |
It should have a burner inside it. Let's have a look. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:45 | |
This hasn't been opened for a while. And there it is. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:50 | |
Which slides in and out there. Not as nice as the earlier burners. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:56 | |
They would have been brass. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:58 | |
£55 on it, though, which is top-heavy really, for auction. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:02 | |
I wanted to get it a bit less than that. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:05 | |
Claire loves her railwayana. Can Steph come up trumps this time? | 0:23:06 | 0:23:10 | |
I don't know if you know the fellow or what he might take for it. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:13 | |
-I can certainly give him a ring and see what we can do on that. -OK. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:17 | |
-See what his very, very, very best price is. -OK. Will do. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:20 | |
-Make him feel kinder towards me. -You're in Yorkshire, though. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:23 | |
-You do realise, don't you? -Oh, but my father was a Yorkshireman. | 0:23:23 | 0:23:26 | |
-Does that make any difference? -Oh, that's all right then. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:29 | |
She'll stop at nothing, that one. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:32 | |
-We can do 25 on that. -That's not bad. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:35 | |
-OK? -Oh, that's good of him. I'll shake your hand. -Thank you. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:38 | |
Ah, a large lump of black metal with glass in it, but it's railway. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:43 | |
And there's more good news. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:45 | |
-The dealer with the pince-nez is actually in, Peter. -Oh, is he? | 0:23:45 | 0:23:48 | |
-Go and talk to him. -Oh, do you think it might be worth having a chat? | 0:23:48 | 0:23:50 | |
-You never know. Just flutter your eyelashes. -Think that might work(?) | 0:23:50 | 0:23:54 | |
THEY CHUCKLE | 0:23:54 | 0:23:55 | |
One can but try. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:57 | |
Ah, Peter. Hello. | 0:23:57 | 0:23:59 | |
I saw something of yours in the cabinet just now. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:01 | |
They spoke to you and you were very mean. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:03 | |
-You didn't want to come down too far. The pince-nez case. -Oh, yes. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:07 | |
-The silver case. -With the monocles? -Yeah, with the pince-nez. Yes. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:10 | |
-That was my wife. I was in town. -Oh, right. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:13 | |
-Ooh, so we could start again? -I was in transit. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:15 | |
-Give it your best go. -I quite like them. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:17 | |
-You've got them marked up at 69. -Yes. | 0:24:17 | 0:24:19 | |
But I am hoping for, you know, quite a bit of discount, | 0:24:19 | 0:24:22 | |
because I think they're pretty... | 0:24:22 | 0:24:23 | |
-How about £20 off, 45. -Would you come down to 42? | 0:24:23 | 0:24:27 | |
-Yeah, that'll be fine. -Excellent, Peter. You're a good man. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:30 | |
Thank you very much. Pleasure doing business. Thanks, thank you. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:33 | |
There we go. | 0:24:33 | 0:24:34 | |
The British Rail lamp for £25, | 0:24:34 | 0:24:36 | |
and the silver spectacle case and pince-nez for £42. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:40 | |
Paul, meanwhile, is all shopped out, and has an assignment to undertake | 0:24:42 | 0:24:47 | |
in the nearby village of Rise, in the East Riding of Yorkshire. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:50 | |
Let's step back in time to the summer of 1940. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:55 | |
Hitler's armies had quickly in succession conquered | 0:24:55 | 0:24:59 | |
Poland, Norway, Holland and Belgium. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:02 | |
And, with the British Army retreating from Dunkirk, | 0:25:02 | 0:25:05 | |
Churchill instructed the formation of a secret resistance network of | 0:25:05 | 0:25:09 | |
highly trained volunteers, in preparation for a German invasion. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:15 | |
They would become known as the GHQ auxiliary units - | 0:25:15 | 0:25:19 | |
small groups of men equipped for guerrilla warfare, | 0:25:19 | 0:25:23 | |
with a mission to cause chaos and havoc to the occupying enemy. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:27 | |
The Yorkshire coast was considered high risk for suspected | 0:25:27 | 0:25:30 | |
German attack. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:32 | |
And right here, somewhere in these woods, lies a secret bunker, | 0:25:32 | 0:25:35 | |
where the soldiers would be based. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:38 | |
Paul's meeting with amateur historian Ian Turton, to find out more. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:42 | |
As I understand it, we set up some sort of almost partisan | 0:25:42 | 0:25:46 | |
organisation in preparedness for invasion. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:50 | |
-Is that right? -These men were picked from the Home Guard. | 0:25:50 | 0:25:53 | |
They were hand-picked from the Home Guard. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:55 | |
Gamekeepers, huntsmen and people that knew t'land. | 0:25:55 | 0:26:00 | |
-They were behind enemy lines to cause havoc. -Right. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:03 | |
Blow up enemy trucks or any explosives, | 0:26:03 | 0:26:08 | |
things like that - sabotage. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:10 | |
-OK. -That's what they were deemed to do. | 0:26:10 | 0:26:12 | |
So we're setting up saboteurs in resistance in advance of occupation? | 0:26:12 | 0:26:17 | |
Yeah, yeah. That's what the intentions were of Churchill to do. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:22 | |
After receiving training in explosives, sabotage and silent killing, | 0:26:22 | 0:26:27 | |
the men would be placed in secret units in the wilderness, | 0:26:27 | 0:26:30 | |
train to live underground by day and cause mayhem by night, | 0:26:30 | 0:26:34 | |
with surprise attacks on the enemy. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:37 | |
Thank goodness for the light. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:40 | |
Oh, what? | 0:26:40 | 0:26:43 | |
-Oh, my word! -75 years old. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:47 | |
It's just like a Nissen hut, isn't it? | 0:26:47 | 0:26:50 | |
-And how many men would be down here, in theory? -Eight. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:53 | |
-See, they've still left the bunks for us. -Oh, my word! | 0:26:55 | 0:26:59 | |
So these guys, in theory, have left their families behind. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:06 | |
The Germans are at the town hall putting up declarations saying, | 0:27:06 | 0:27:11 | |
-"We are in charge now." -Yeah. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:13 | |
And they're down here, they don't know what's going on out there... | 0:27:13 | 0:27:17 | |
The men that signed up to be a part of this secret organisation | 0:27:17 | 0:27:21 | |
were so fearless in their tasks that, if a German invasion had happened, | 0:27:21 | 0:27:25 | |
their life expectancy was just 12 days. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:28 | |
It's trying to put yourself into their boots, | 0:27:30 | 0:27:32 | |
which is impossible to do, but it's the thought that your family's out there, | 0:27:32 | 0:27:36 | |
and you don't know what they're subject to. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:39 | |
-No, no. -And you know that you've got to do your utmost, | 0:27:39 | 0:27:44 | |
but it's going to end badly. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:45 | |
Some aren't recognised as soldiers - | 0:27:47 | 0:27:49 | |
they were fit to be soldiers... | 0:27:49 | 0:27:51 | |
-You're a coward. -Cos the Guard doesn't count, really. | 0:27:51 | 0:27:54 | |
-So they can't say I'm...this... -Oh, my word. -That was it, | 0:27:54 | 0:27:57 | |
there were no recognition whatsoever. | 0:27:57 | 0:27:59 | |
In Britain's hour of need, | 0:28:01 | 0:28:03 | |
dedicated, fearless men signed up to die for King and Country. | 0:28:03 | 0:28:07 | |
Under the guise of the Home Guard, | 0:28:07 | 0:28:09 | |
they were not a group of tired, bumbling old men, but were | 0:28:09 | 0:28:13 | |
highly skilled soldiers, who will always remain heroes in our hearts. | 0:28:13 | 0:28:17 | |
Claire's made her way north, | 0:28:22 | 0:28:24 | |
to the seaside town of Bridlington on the east coast of Yorkshire. | 0:28:24 | 0:28:28 | |
This looks lovely in here. Claire's got just over £230 to spend. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:35 | |
There's a little miniature gardening set, just in the front there. | 0:28:42 | 0:28:46 | |
It's got a little spade. A little rake. | 0:28:46 | 0:28:49 | |
And a dibber for making holes, for planting things. | 0:28:49 | 0:28:52 | |
The nice thing is that it looks like ivory - it's not, it's bone. | 0:28:52 | 0:28:55 | |
Ivory will be a very clear, dense white. | 0:28:55 | 0:28:58 | |
Bone has blood vessels going through it, | 0:28:58 | 0:29:00 | |
so you get these little brown flecks in. | 0:29:00 | 0:29:03 | |
Things in miniature have always appealed | 0:29:03 | 0:29:05 | |
and I think we've got, combining there, sort of | 0:29:05 | 0:29:07 | |
something miniature and gardening. | 0:29:07 | 0:29:10 | |
Quite a good combination. | 0:29:10 | 0:29:11 | |
Jane's the lady in charge. | 0:29:12 | 0:29:14 | |
Now for a closer look. | 0:29:14 | 0:29:17 | |
I like these. I just love the way the rake's made. | 0:29:17 | 0:29:20 | |
I mean, isn't that a lovely curved head on it? Do you like it? | 0:29:20 | 0:29:24 | |
It's a delightful little thing. It's from a bygone era. | 0:29:24 | 0:29:27 | |
-We don't sort of get these miniatures any more. -No. | 0:29:27 | 0:29:31 | |
-Of that quality. -No. | 0:29:31 | 0:29:32 | |
-It's the quality, isn't it? -It's the quality, yes. | 0:29:32 | 0:29:34 | |
-Cos there's good weight to them as well. -Yes. | 0:29:34 | 0:29:36 | |
Now, then, the all-important thing. We have £78 on it. | 0:29:36 | 0:29:41 | |
Is this something that I can speak to you about | 0:29:41 | 0:29:43 | |
or is it for someone else? | 0:29:43 | 0:29:44 | |
Jane manages to get the dealer on the phone. | 0:29:44 | 0:29:47 | |
But is there a deal to be done? | 0:29:47 | 0:29:49 | |
Chris has said he could do 62 on it. | 0:29:49 | 0:29:53 | |
62. I'm going to have them. | 0:29:53 | 0:29:56 | |
The collection of miniature gardening tools at £62 | 0:29:58 | 0:30:00 | |
concludes this leg's shopping bonanza. | 0:30:00 | 0:30:03 | |
Claire's spent £164 on five lots. | 0:30:06 | 0:30:09 | |
As well as the miniature gardening tools, | 0:30:09 | 0:30:12 | |
she has the World War II gas mask, | 0:30:12 | 0:30:15 | |
the collection of woodworking tools, | 0:30:15 | 0:30:17 | |
the British Rail lamp and the silver spectacle case and pince-nez. | 0:30:17 | 0:30:22 | |
Paul also has five lots. | 0:30:22 | 0:30:24 | |
The bullet watch fob... | 0:30:24 | 0:30:26 | |
The Victorian beaded cuff, writing slope, | 0:30:27 | 0:30:31 | |
the novelty snuffbox, and the Charles Barlow vases. | 0:30:31 | 0:30:35 | |
Paul has spent a total of £114. | 0:30:35 | 0:30:38 | |
Right, my old antiques lovers, | 0:30:38 | 0:30:41 | |
thoughts on one another's collections? | 0:30:41 | 0:30:44 | |
I like that little watch fob, that... | 0:30:44 | 0:30:46 | |
or it could just be a pendant. | 0:30:46 | 0:30:47 | |
I think that's quite fun, mounted in rose gold. He's paid £10 for it. | 0:30:47 | 0:30:50 | |
I thought he ought to make good money on that. | 0:30:50 | 0:30:53 | |
Then we get to the miniature implements. | 0:30:53 | 0:30:55 | |
Utterly, utterly charming, | 0:30:55 | 0:30:57 | |
and people are going to fall in love with them. | 0:30:57 | 0:30:59 | |
HOWEVER, £62 for absolutely useless but charming miniature | 0:30:59 | 0:31:07 | |
gardening implements in bone and brass...? | 0:31:07 | 0:31:10 | |
It hurts me to have to say this, | 0:31:10 | 0:31:11 | |
but I think he's made some good buys there. | 0:31:11 | 0:31:14 | |
Would I swap for my offering? Well, what do you think? | 0:31:14 | 0:31:18 | |
It's a no, folks. | 0:31:18 | 0:31:20 | |
He's confident. Let's get ready to sell. | 0:31:21 | 0:31:23 | |
Our road trippers are heading for their third auction at Beverley | 0:31:23 | 0:31:26 | |
in the East Riding of Yorkshire. | 0:31:26 | 0:31:28 | |
So, what about this fob of yours, Paul? | 0:31:29 | 0:31:32 | |
Who else would have recognised that as...? What is it, a Mills bomb? | 0:31:32 | 0:31:35 | |
I LOVE that. I mean, seriously. | 0:31:35 | 0:31:38 | |
But, will the bidders love it as much as you, Paul? | 0:31:38 | 0:31:41 | |
Situated today at Beverley Racecourse, Hawleys Auctioneers | 0:31:44 | 0:31:47 | |
is run by husband-and-wife team John and Caroline Hawley. | 0:31:47 | 0:31:51 | |
Caroline is in command of the room today, | 0:31:52 | 0:31:54 | |
so what does she think of our duo's lots? | 0:31:54 | 0:31:57 | |
The little, tiny shell, inlaid with rose gold and silver, | 0:31:57 | 0:32:04 | |
and I thought, "Oh, yeah, that's a Paul Laidlaw lot, straightaway." | 0:32:04 | 0:32:08 | |
The railway lamp, I have to say, it's not really my cup of tea, | 0:32:08 | 0:32:15 | |
but there's an awful lot of interest in railwayana. | 0:32:15 | 0:32:18 | |
Well, we'll soon see. Take your seats! | 0:32:18 | 0:32:20 | |
The auction is about to begin. | 0:32:20 | 0:32:22 | |
-Well! -Auction number three! | 0:32:23 | 0:32:25 | |
-I know! -I can't believe we're on our third auction. -No! | 0:32:25 | 0:32:29 | |
Time flies when you're having fun. | 0:32:29 | 0:32:31 | |
Right, up first is Paul's Victorian beaded cuff. | 0:32:31 | 0:32:35 | |
£4, eh? | 0:32:35 | 0:32:36 | |
£10 to start. £5. | 0:32:36 | 0:32:40 | |
Don't look at me like that. | 0:32:40 | 0:32:42 | |
Thank you, sir. It'll suit you nicely! £5. | 0:32:42 | 0:32:46 | |
Six anywhere? Are we done at six on the net? Seven, sir? | 0:32:46 | 0:32:52 | |
-Seven, are you back in? -Don't go up in pounds, don't go up in pounds. | 0:32:52 | 0:32:55 | |
-Never good when you go up in pounds. -Ten on the net. 12 anywhere? | 0:32:55 | 0:32:59 | |
12 on the internet. 14 anywhere? | 0:32:59 | 0:33:03 | |
14 on the net. 16. | 0:33:03 | 0:33:06 | |
Do feel free to join us. 18. 18 on the internet. | 0:33:06 | 0:33:10 | |
-18 now! -Are we done at £18? | 0:33:10 | 0:33:13 | |
20. You just snuck in, madam. 20 in the room. | 0:33:14 | 0:33:18 | |
22 anywhere? 20 in the room... | 0:33:18 | 0:33:22 | |
All done at £20... | 0:33:22 | 0:33:26 | |
-Yeah. -Well done. Good start. Goodness sake! | 0:33:26 | 0:33:29 | |
A good return on your £4 there, Paul. | 0:33:29 | 0:33:32 | |
-500%. -Oh, be quiet. | 0:33:33 | 0:33:36 | |
If I stick to that... | 0:33:36 | 0:33:38 | |
Well, I'll be walking out of here in a minute! | 0:33:38 | 0:33:41 | |
Keep the faith, Claire. It's your World War II gas mask next. | 0:33:43 | 0:33:47 | |
Start me cheap. £10 for the gas mask. That's straight in. Ten. | 0:33:47 | 0:33:51 | |
12 anywhere? 12. 14, 16, 18, 20, 22. | 0:33:51 | 0:33:57 | |
No? 20 at the back of the room. | 0:33:57 | 0:33:59 | |
22 anywhere? 22. Who said 22? | 0:33:59 | 0:34:03 | |
24, 26, 28, 30. 32, 34? No? | 0:34:03 | 0:34:09 | |
32 at the back of the room. 34 anywhere? | 0:34:09 | 0:34:13 | |
All done at £32... | 0:34:13 | 0:34:17 | |
Oh! That's OK. It's more than I thought. | 0:34:17 | 0:34:20 | |
A pleasant surprise, Claire. | 0:34:20 | 0:34:22 | |
Nice profit to launch you into lead position. | 0:34:22 | 0:34:24 | |
You are in the lead, Claire Rawle. I couldn't be happier for you. | 0:34:26 | 0:34:30 | |
Aw, this has started well, hasn't it? | 0:34:30 | 0:34:33 | |
It has, Paul. The Charles Barlow vases are next. | 0:34:34 | 0:34:38 | |
I've got bids on the sheets. | 0:34:38 | 0:34:40 | |
I have to start you at £60. 65 anywhere? | 0:34:40 | 0:34:44 | |
Oh, it's all on commission. It's all on commission! It's all on paper. | 0:34:44 | 0:34:48 | |
£60, surely? All done at 60... | 0:34:48 | 0:34:52 | |
65, just in time. 70 anywhere? | 0:34:53 | 0:34:57 | |
65 with John, 70 anywhere? | 0:34:57 | 0:35:00 | |
All done at 65... | 0:35:00 | 0:35:02 | |
-That was all right. -I think that's fair enough. | 0:35:02 | 0:35:05 | |
Very nice, and you've taken the lead. | 0:35:05 | 0:35:08 | |
-Happy days! -All right... | 0:35:09 | 0:35:12 | |
The woodworking tools bought by Claire are next. | 0:35:13 | 0:35:17 | |
Should be all right on that, shouldn't they? | 0:35:17 | 0:35:19 | |
Yeah, that's what worries me! It could be very all right! | 0:35:19 | 0:35:22 | |
A nice little lot, everything you need to set yourself up | 0:35:22 | 0:35:25 | |
with a joiner's workshop. | 0:35:25 | 0:35:27 | |
What's this worth? | 0:35:27 | 0:35:28 | |
£40? 20 to go. Come along. Who's going to give me... | 0:35:28 | 0:35:33 | |
Thank you, sir. £20. 22 anywhere? £20, surely. | 0:35:33 | 0:35:38 | |
22, 24, 26. 28, 30. 30. | 0:35:38 | 0:35:43 | |
32, 34, 36, 38. 38? Go on. 40. No? | 0:35:43 | 0:35:49 | |
38, with you, sir. 38 in the room. 40 anywhere? | 0:35:49 | 0:35:54 | |
Are we done at...? | 0:35:54 | 0:35:56 | |
40's back again. 42! Just one more. 42. | 0:35:56 | 0:36:00 | |
You're shaking your head the wrong way. No? £40, I have you... | 0:36:00 | 0:36:05 | |
All done at 40... | 0:36:05 | 0:36:09 | |
Not too bad, that could... | 0:36:09 | 0:36:10 | |
-HE GROANS -You thought it... | 0:36:12 | 0:36:15 | |
Look at you couple of giggling Gerties! | 0:36:15 | 0:36:18 | |
Nice profit, though, there, Claire. | 0:36:18 | 0:36:20 | |
There's nothing in it. | 0:36:20 | 0:36:21 | |
-No, it's a bit neck and neck. -I can just about touch you. | 0:36:21 | 0:36:24 | |
You're right, Paul. | 0:36:27 | 0:36:28 | |
It's anyone's game at the moment, and your writing slope is next. | 0:36:28 | 0:36:33 | |
-I've got to start you at £35, 40 anywhere? -What a gift! | 0:36:33 | 0:36:37 | |
40. 45, 50, 55. | 0:36:37 | 0:36:41 | |
-60, 65. -Smile, smile. | 0:36:41 | 0:36:43 | |
60 with you, Roy. | 0:36:43 | 0:36:45 | |
-65 anywhere? -It's cheap. -It is. | 0:36:45 | 0:36:46 | |
-It's a cheap box. -It is. -Are we done at £60? | 0:36:46 | 0:36:49 | |
It's a cheap lot. I have you. £60... | 0:36:49 | 0:36:53 | |
65. 70, Roy. | 0:36:53 | 0:36:57 | |
70, I have in the room. | 0:36:57 | 0:37:00 | |
-75 anywhere? -Tell them how nice it is! Tell them how nice it is! | 0:37:00 | 0:37:04 | |
It's scratched, it's scratched! There's a huge scratch on it. | 0:37:04 | 0:37:07 | |
All done at 70... | 0:37:09 | 0:37:12 | |
Another chunk of a profit. | 0:37:12 | 0:37:14 | |
The quality inlay helped things along there. | 0:37:14 | 0:37:16 | |
By my reckoning, I'm up £790, but that's just roughly. | 0:37:17 | 0:37:22 | |
Hey, wildly wrong there, sunshine! | 0:37:22 | 0:37:25 | |
Yeah, your maths never was your strong point, was it?! | 0:37:25 | 0:37:27 | |
Claire's British Rail lamp is next. | 0:37:29 | 0:37:31 | |
Going to have to start you at £42. | 0:37:33 | 0:37:35 | |
-Bang on the money. -Oh, OK. -Bang on the money. | 0:37:35 | 0:37:37 | |
44. Thank you, 46? | 0:37:37 | 0:37:39 | |
46, 48. 50, 55, 60. 65, 70. | 0:37:39 | 0:37:45 | |
70, are you in? 70, 75. | 0:37:45 | 0:37:47 | |
£70 with you, madam. | 0:37:47 | 0:37:50 | |
All done at 70... | 0:37:50 | 0:37:53 | |
That's a corker of a profit. Well done, Claire. | 0:37:53 | 0:37:56 | |
It's Paul's favourite lot of the road trip next. | 0:38:00 | 0:38:03 | |
The bullet watch fob. | 0:38:03 | 0:38:05 | |
-£40. 45 anywhere? -Ooh, excellent. -It's worth... | 0:38:05 | 0:38:09 | |
All over. 45, 50. 55, 60. 65, 70. | 0:38:09 | 0:38:14 | |
70? 75. £70 with you, sir. | 0:38:14 | 0:38:16 | |
In the room, people know! | 0:38:16 | 0:38:19 | |
-£70 I have. -People get it! | 0:38:19 | 0:38:21 | |
-75 anywhere? -Oh, well... | 0:38:21 | 0:38:23 | |
All done at £70... | 0:38:23 | 0:38:27 | |
-Well done! -Justice done! | 0:38:27 | 0:38:29 | |
Well done. | 0:38:29 | 0:38:31 | |
Well, the room appreciated the watch fob. | 0:38:31 | 0:38:34 | |
That's another large profit for Paul. | 0:38:34 | 0:38:36 | |
-I didn't think they'd know. -Yeah. | 0:38:36 | 0:38:39 | |
-Wow. -Well, yeah, there are... | 0:38:39 | 0:38:40 | |
This is a sophisticated crowd out here! | 0:38:40 | 0:38:43 | |
Certainly is. Come on, Claire. | 0:38:43 | 0:38:45 | |
Can your spectacle case help you catch up on Paul's lead? | 0:38:45 | 0:38:48 | |
Let's get into focus. | 0:38:48 | 0:38:50 | |
I'm hoping I'm not going to make a spectacle of myself out of this. | 0:38:50 | 0:38:53 | |
Oh, Claire! | 0:38:53 | 0:38:54 | |
Give me £20 to start. Thank you, all over. 20, 22, 24. | 0:38:54 | 0:39:00 | |
26, 28, 30. 32, 34, 36. 38, 40, 42. | 0:39:00 | 0:39:05 | |
£40 with you, sir. 42. 44. | 0:39:05 | 0:39:10 | |
-46, 48, 50. 55. -You're in it now. | 0:39:10 | 0:39:14 | |
60, 65. 70. 75. Just one more? | 0:39:14 | 0:39:19 | |
You're nodding your head the wrong way. Go on! | 0:39:19 | 0:39:21 | |
You know you want them. 75! | 0:39:21 | 0:39:23 | |
80. 85. | 0:39:23 | 0:39:26 | |
85? No? £80 I have from you. | 0:39:26 | 0:39:31 | |
All done at 80... Thank you. | 0:39:31 | 0:39:34 | |
Excellent profit, Claire. You're inching closer to Paul. | 0:39:35 | 0:39:37 | |
-There's nothing in this with two items to go each. -Two to go. | 0:39:38 | 0:39:42 | |
-And our biggest spends. -There are... | 0:39:42 | 0:39:45 | |
Correct. | 0:39:45 | 0:39:46 | |
It's the novelty snuffbox from Paul now. | 0:39:46 | 0:39:49 | |
It's going to be neck and neck. | 0:39:49 | 0:39:52 | |
-A dead heat. -Photo finish! -Photo finish! | 0:39:52 | 0:39:55 | |
Straight in at £100. | 0:39:55 | 0:39:57 | |
-110 anywhere? -Mmm! | 0:39:57 | 0:39:59 | |
-MAN: Yes. -Thank you, John. | 0:39:59 | 0:40:01 | |
110 in the room. 120 on the internet. | 0:40:01 | 0:40:04 | |
120 on the internet, 130 anywhere? | 0:40:04 | 0:40:07 | |
-MAN: 122. -122! He's bloomin' awkward again! | 0:40:07 | 0:40:10 | |
-Good on you! -122, thank you so much, John. I'll see you later, 122... | 0:40:10 | 0:40:16 | |
What are you doing, sir? Are you waving, or...? 125. Thank you, sir. | 0:40:16 | 0:40:20 | |
125. 130, John. 125, I have in the room. 130 on the internet. | 0:40:20 | 0:40:25 | |
-No! -135, I'll oblige. No? | 0:40:25 | 0:40:28 | |
All done at £130... | 0:40:28 | 0:40:33 | |
-Fair enough. -Yeah, they spotted it. -Yeah, yeah... -They spotted it. | 0:40:33 | 0:40:35 | |
Hey, Paul certainly knows what he's doing. | 0:40:35 | 0:40:38 | |
An astounding result. | 0:40:38 | 0:40:40 | |
Just looking in my rear-view mirror... | 0:40:40 | 0:40:42 | |
No, I can't see you! | 0:40:42 | 0:40:43 | |
You wait, you wait! | 0:40:45 | 0:40:47 | |
Don't get too cocky there, Paul. Come on, Claire. | 0:40:48 | 0:40:51 | |
The miniature gardening tools are the last lot of the day. | 0:40:51 | 0:40:55 | |
-I'm going to have to start you at £25. -That's a bit disappointing. | 0:40:55 | 0:41:00 | |
Straight in, 30. Thank you, sir. | 0:41:00 | 0:41:02 | |
35, 40, 45. 50. No? | 0:41:02 | 0:41:07 | |
-45 with the lady at the back. -I think they might... -I know! Come on! | 0:41:07 | 0:41:10 | |
50, 55. 60, 65. 70. 65 at the back. | 0:41:10 | 0:41:16 | |
Are we done at £65? | 0:41:16 | 0:41:18 | |

-You're shaking your head the wrong way, sir. -You've made good money. | 0:41:38 | 0:41:41 | |
Yes, 140, he's in. | 0:41:41 | 0:41:42 | |
-140. -Oh, nice. -150. No? | 0:41:42 | 0:41:45 | |
All done at £140... | 0:41:45 | 0:41:48 | |
Claire Rawle! | 0:41:48 | 0:41:51 | |
-A little blast at the finishing line there. -Yeah. | 0:41:51 | 0:41:55 | |
Hey, a rocketing profit, Claire. Phenomenal work. | 0:41:55 | 0:41:58 | |
-Off to the weighing room? -I'm with you, come on! | 0:41:59 | 0:42:02 | |
A close-run race there. Who on earth will clinch victory today? | 0:42:02 | 0:42:06 | |
