0:00:02 > 0:00:04It's the nation's favourite antiques experts...
0:00:04 > 0:00:06- That's cracking!- ..with £200 each...
0:00:06 > 0:00:07Wonderful!
0:00:07 > 0:00:11..a classic car and a goal to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13That's exactly what I'm talking about.
0:00:13 > 0:00:14I am all over a shiver.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction. But it's no mean feat.
0:00:18 > 0:00:19- No-brainer.- Going, going, gone.
0:00:19 > 0:00:23There'll be worthy winners and valiant losers.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26- So, will it be the high road to glory...- Push!
0:00:26 > 0:00:28..or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:28 > 0:00:29How awfully, awfully nice.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31This is Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:35 > 0:00:37# Don't stop me
0:00:37 > 0:00:40# Having a good time Having a good time... #
0:00:40 > 0:00:43It's the penultimate leg of this week's exciting adventure
0:00:43 > 0:00:47for two top auctioneers - James Braxton and Charles Hanson.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Do they ever stop laughing?
0:00:50 > 0:00:53- This is our fourth leg, James. Time is nearing.- Fourth leg.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55- Fourth leg.- The journey...
0:00:55 > 0:00:57You're £100 clear.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00About £130 clear, between friends.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03And what a pair of friends they are.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06James is a very competitive Road Trip veteran.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08You wouldn't think so to look at him.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10To the winner goes the spoils.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15And Charles is an antiques hotshot, willing to do anything to win.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Don't look at me like that. I'm not a bad man, OK?
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Don't you believe that!
0:01:21 > 0:01:24After starting this trip with £200 in his pocket,
0:01:24 > 0:01:31some canny buys means James now has £315.68 to spend.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Charles has also bought cleverly,
0:01:34 > 0:01:37more than doubling his original £200 stake.
0:01:37 > 0:01:42He's sitting pretty out in front with £447.34.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45While Charles might be brilliant at buying antiques,
0:01:45 > 0:01:47when it comes to driving one, well...
0:01:47 > 0:01:50that's another matter, so stand by.
0:01:50 > 0:01:51What gear are you in?
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- Are you in first or second?- Third. Sorry.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- Sorry! - JAMES CHUCKLES
0:02:00 > 0:02:02On this trip, our boys are struggling to zip around
0:02:02 > 0:02:07in this ill-sounding 1964 DKW 1000 Coupe.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Made before seat belts were mandatory
0:02:09 > 0:02:13means our experts aren't wearing any. Got it?
0:02:15 > 0:02:18The car's breaking down! It's stopping. Yeah.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24No, literally. Guys, this is your Captain Hanson speaking.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Antiques Road Trip, we have a problem.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30You certainly do. Looks like that car's given up the ghost.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Oh, careful, James.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Hi-vis jacket on, it's Braxton to the rescue.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38ENGINE TURNS OVER
0:02:38 > 0:02:39What worries me - we're on a hill.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41James has got his yellow jacket on.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45- Now, hold on. While you're speaking to me, could you please wear the helmet?- Yeah, let me just...
0:02:45 > 0:02:48ENGINE TURNS OVER
0:02:51 > 0:02:53I'll tell you what - only you, Charles,
0:02:53 > 0:02:55- could make a helmet...- Yes. - ..look like a comedy prop.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- Get out of here!- I think if I just get it going, I could get it...
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- It would come right. - Should I try and push you, James?
0:03:03 > 0:03:07- No, not uphill.- I'm strong enough. - I tell you what I could do.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- I could reverse it, but bump start reverse.- OK, bump it.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Forward! Forward!
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Run, Charles. Run, quick!
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- Ow!- Sorry. Ow!
0:03:25 > 0:03:30So, thanks to Braxton, the boys are back on track.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32After beginning their roving road trip in the Highlands,
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Charles and James have been journeying all over bonny Scotland,
0:03:35 > 0:03:38taking in the north-east and the Central Belt.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42They'll eventually finish up over the border in Berwick-upon-Tweed.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44This leg will kick off in Perth, Scotland,
0:03:44 > 0:03:47and end in England at auction in Crooklands, Cumbria.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52A former capital of Scotland,
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Perth was made a city again by the Queen, as part of
0:03:55 > 0:03:58her diamond jubilee celebrations in 2012.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02It's home to James's first shop, Fair City Antiques.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06- Hello.- All right, James.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07Hello, good to see you.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09- And your name is?- My name's Max.
0:04:09 > 0:04:10Max, good to meet you.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11So, it's a big area.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14It is. It's a very vast area. We have eight to ten vendors in here.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- Can you guide me around? It's a big place, isn't it?- Yeah, sure.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19- If you want to start up this way... - Up this way. Good.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Determined to beat Charles on this leg,
0:04:24 > 0:04:27James is on the hunt for hidden gems.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30So, we've got a pair of, er, sort of fonts.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33It looks as though it might have taken a dish, a liner there.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35- Doesn't it?- Yeah, well, I would presume so, yeah.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37- Yeah.- A ceramic dish or something like that.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41Yeah. Could have been, maybe, for washing your hands.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Maybe, you know, people, if they went to church,
0:04:44 > 0:04:47maybe you'd wash your hands and things like that, you know.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Very difficult to get the old foot in.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- You know, bathing, isn't it? You know.- Yeah.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56You'd need to be a yogic master, Max, to do that, don't you?
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Oh. The ticket says £490 for the pair.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04They're too pricey for your purse, James. So, moving on...
0:05:05 > 0:05:07What have you found now?
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Have these got any age, or are they brand-new?
0:05:10 > 0:05:12I'm not sure. Probably...
0:05:12 > 0:05:15So, this has got some lacquer on it, hasn't it?
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Most of the Chinese stuff was always lacquered.
0:05:18 > 0:05:23- Yeah, yeah. This is more your red cinnabar lacquer.- Mm-hm.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25It's just got a little bit of tracery
0:05:25 > 0:05:27rushing around here, hasn't it?
0:05:27 > 0:05:31I quite like stools, but these ones are slightly lower.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33That's a sort of seat level.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Often, you rather hope a stool is slightly higher.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39That's quite a low one.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42They're just a sort of decorative things, really.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45I haven't even asked how much you've got on these.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46140 for the pair.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48140 for the pair.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54I like them.
0:05:54 > 0:05:59It would absolutely make my day at 75 for those.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- MAX SIGHS - Er...
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Speak to me, Max.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08- You're worried.- Do you know what?
0:06:08 > 0:06:10- What? Really?- Put it there.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12- 75.- That's very kind. Thank you.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- I've had them a while.- That's for the two?- That's for the pair.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18For the pair - lovely. Very pleased with those.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22So that's James's first lot bought.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25And it's not long before another pair catches his eye.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Two tables this time.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33It is definitely a Sikh-like headdress here.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37So, Indian. This is for export.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38- So, you can...- For packing.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40- You would have packed...- Flat-pack.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Flat-pack. So you could have taken that home with you.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Yes. Not bad, is it?
0:06:45 > 0:06:47It's very nice hardwood.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48Who can resist an elephant?
0:06:48 > 0:06:50I can never resist an elephant.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53They're beautiful, beautiful animals.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55And it's just quite nice.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Quite a nice scene there.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58What could these be?
0:07:00 > 0:07:0245 for t'pair.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03- 45 for pair?- Yeah.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- Yeah, I'll take them, 45.- All right? - Thank you. Really kind.
0:07:08 > 0:07:13- Sometimes I buy singularly, sometimes I buy in pairs.- Mm-hm.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Today is a pairs day.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18And what a pair of pairs they are.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Great start!
0:07:20 > 0:07:21- Thanks for coming.- Thanks a lot.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Charles, meanwhile, has motored up the road
0:07:29 > 0:07:32to his first shop of the day, Farang Antiques...
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- Good morning.- Morning. - Hello, my name's Charles Hanson.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38- John Stewart. Nice to meet you. - Hi, John.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42Have you any interesting finds of recent date?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44- We've got lots of interesting things.- Fantastic.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- If you want to come through, I'll be glad to show you. - Wonderful - can't wait!
0:07:47 > 0:07:51..housing a large selection of fine arts and crafts
0:07:51 > 0:07:53from Southeast Asia.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59There are plenty of exotic pieces on offer.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01I love that burnished gilt.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02This is a wonderful piece.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06- It is.- I mean, this is a fabulous Shan 19th-century Buddha
0:08:06 > 0:08:09made from teak wood, been gilded.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Lots of wear and tear, as it would be of this age.
0:08:11 > 0:08:16I suppose I wouldn't get much change, John, from £2,500.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19You wouldn't get any change on £2,500 pounds at all.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21This one would be £4,500.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- And between friends?- 4,400.
0:08:24 > 0:08:264,400. I like your style.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Well out of your price range, Charles.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34I like, John, the Edwardian cabinet.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36- Is that for sale?- I'm afraid not.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38I need it for my display here desperately.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40It's the display that's actually caught my eye.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44You've got these figures in almost, I suppose, miniature frames.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47And they are full-length portraits.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50These are what you'd call Chinese pith paintings.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Pith paintings. Meaning they're on rice paper?
0:08:52 > 0:08:53- They're on rice paper.- Yes.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Be about 19th century. Wow! They're really well painted.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- Beautifully painted. - They're very well detailed.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00It's a shame... This one, I can see,
0:09:00 > 0:09:03has got the split in the pith, or the rice paper.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- Are they expensive?- No, they're not.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09It's a set of three. They're £60 altogether.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Yeah, yeah.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13They are well done.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16He likes them, but enough to buy, I wonder?
0:09:18 > 0:09:20I'm going to say thanks but no, thanks.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- OK.- John, thank you. I've had a really enjoyable visit.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26I might regret not buying these.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28And to you, John, I shall say...
0:09:29 > 0:09:31- Sa-wut dee krup.- Sa-wut dee krup.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33And that's "goodbye" in...
0:09:33 > 0:09:34- In Thai.- Goodbye, John.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Sa-wut dee krup. See you, John. See you.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Charles leaves his first shop empty-handed,
0:09:39 > 0:09:41and his wallet is still bulging.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46James's buying is going much better
0:09:46 > 0:09:50and he's now made his way six miles east to Glencarse.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54He's come to Michael Young Antiques.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57BELL RINGS
0:09:57 > 0:09:59- Hello. James.- Hello, James.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- Hello.- Good to meet you.- Good to meet you. What a lovely place.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05With a mixed bag of antiques on offer,
0:10:05 > 0:10:09James is hoping Michael can help him sniff out a potential purchase.
0:10:09 > 0:10:10Why can't he look for himself?
0:10:10 > 0:10:15Do you keep all your junk in the cabinets or do you keep all your precious items in the cabinets?
0:10:15 > 0:10:18I don't profess to have a lot of junk but, in actual fact,
0:10:18 > 0:10:20you've hit upon the right cabinet.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- Very lucky horseshoe.- Very early, yeah.- Very early.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29Find some goodies.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Have you got so much money to spend? Is that it?
0:10:33 > 0:10:36No, I haven't got a huge amount of money to spend, unfortunately.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Well, you've still got nearly £200, James.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44A little pot.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45Oh, not as old as I thought.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49- That's a shame. It's a lovely Iznik pattern, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51How much have you got on that?
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- £20.- £20, yeah.
0:10:53 > 0:10:54It's damaged on the corner.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Yeah, I saw that. I like to call it fritting.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Fair enough.
0:10:59 > 0:11:00Call it what you like.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Fritting, indeed!
0:11:02 > 0:11:05With the pot put back on the shelf,
0:11:05 > 0:11:07James's attention turns to something a bit bulkier.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Big old mirror there.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Old brass-framed mirror.
0:11:12 > 0:11:13- Yeah.- Base metals.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15I love a bit of base metal.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18What could that be, Michael?
0:11:18 > 0:11:19150?
0:11:20 > 0:11:24And the glass - is that deterioration...?
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Pull it off the wall and have a look.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- Is there deterioration behind it? Probably.- Yeah, it's behind.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Steady!
0:11:36 > 0:11:38It's got a sort of zinc back, hasn't it?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41- So you've got a sort of... - Polish up beautifully.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43..stylised rose there, haven't you?
0:11:45 > 0:11:46It's a big old thing.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- Very much in the Arts and Crafts manner, isn't it?- Mm.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Superb, I think, actually.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54The stylised flowers. Shame about the mirror, but there we are.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56What about 100, Michael?
0:11:56 > 0:11:58- Thank you, sir.- Very much indeed.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00That's very kind of you, Michael.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Kind indeed. That generous discount sees James secure another lot
0:12:04 > 0:12:06to take to auction. Jolly good!
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Charles, meanwhile, has made his way to Crieff.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21He's come to learn about an elite band of hardy Scots
0:12:21 > 0:12:23known as the Highland drovers.
0:12:27 > 0:12:28From the mid-17th century,
0:12:28 > 0:12:31tough and courageous herdsmen drove cattle
0:12:31 > 0:12:36from the Highlands and Islands across Scotland's roughest terrain,
0:12:36 > 0:12:37to trade at market.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Charles is meeting chairman of the Crieff and Strathearn Drovers' Tryst Festival
0:12:41 > 0:12:44John Cummings, to find out more.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- Welcome to Crieff. Come this way. - Wonderful!
0:12:52 > 0:12:55I've been a driver, John, and it's been quite difficult
0:12:55 > 0:12:58navigating over these hills and around lochs
0:12:58 > 0:13:01in an old classic car but, of course, for the drovers
0:13:01 > 0:13:03- it was a different story. - Very much so, yes.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05There were no roads, basically, when they were at their height.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08There were no maps, there were no GPS systems.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11The droving would take on average 12 miles a day,
0:13:11 > 0:13:13they could cover with cattle.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17So you're talking about possibly two weeks en route.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- Really?- Yeah, it was a long, long haul.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22What did the Highland cattle have?
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Why travel all that distance?
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Were these special beasts?
0:13:26 > 0:13:30Scottish beef was traditionally very, very much valued.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33And certainly during the 17th century
0:13:33 > 0:13:37and part of the 18th century, there was a tremendous demand -
0:13:37 > 0:13:4080% of beef came from Scotland.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42- Really?- And what did it serve?
0:13:42 > 0:13:43It served the Navy.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45It served the Armed Forces.
0:13:45 > 0:13:46Salted beef.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49The Drovers' Tryst in Crieff
0:13:49 > 0:13:52was one of the busiest cattle markets in the country.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Held in the second week in October, trade was so substantial
0:13:55 > 0:13:59that Crieff was the financial centre of Scotland during this period.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Why Perthshire?
0:14:01 > 0:14:04What did that region have in Scotland which others didn't?
0:14:04 > 0:14:05If you look at the map of Scotland,
0:14:05 > 0:14:08a lot of the droving routes converge on Crieff.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12The traders that were coming up from either the Borders early on or,
0:14:12 > 0:14:15after the Union, increasingly from England,
0:14:15 > 0:14:19they were quite happy to come as far as Crieff, but not beyond Crieff.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21That was wild, untamed country.
0:14:21 > 0:14:26- At its height, 30,000 cattle came through Crieff.- Really?
0:14:26 > 0:14:29For the Highlander, it was his form of wealth.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31But they had to guard the cattle
0:14:31 > 0:14:35because you had, very often, cattle thieving.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38That went on and that was part and parcel of the whole story
0:14:38 > 0:14:41about droving, because a lot of drovers were previously cattle thieves.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Rob Roy MacGregor - the famous Rob Roy - he was a cattle thief,
0:14:44 > 0:14:47but he was part of the MacGregor clan and an outlaw.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50The drovers were a key part of Scottish life
0:14:50 > 0:14:55for more than 200 years but due to the Highland Clearances,
0:14:55 > 0:14:58faster steamships and the birth of railways,
0:14:58 > 0:15:01the droving trade in Scotland dried up.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04The hardy Highlanders were forced to find work elsewhere.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Where did these drovers end up?
0:15:07 > 0:15:11Australia. America. Canada.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13And the skills they took with them, of course,
0:15:13 > 0:15:16were the skills of the droving.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20So the drovers, in many ways, become the cowboys.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21We know all about the cowboys.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24They've been romanticised by John Ford and John Wayne and so on.
0:15:24 > 0:15:29But they went across there, they became the big, big landowners
0:15:29 > 0:15:31and the ranchers of Texas.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35So really, the cowboys almost began, in a way, in Scotland?
0:15:35 > 0:15:36Well, you could say that.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Many, many Scottish traditions and, as we know,
0:15:39 > 0:15:41many names over in Canada and so on.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45Charles reckons he could be a daring drover.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48So John's brought him to meet local farmer Euan Stewart,
0:15:48 > 0:15:52who's kindly offered to let him loose on his Highland coos.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Looks angry.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57And there they are. Aren't they beautiful creatures?
0:15:57 > 0:16:00What's the secret? What is the way to drove?
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Just go and say, "Come on, girls.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04- "On your way."- Do I whistle a bit?
0:16:04 > 0:16:06- HE WHISTLES - You can, yes. OK.
0:16:06 > 0:16:07Well, I'll try that.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10That's what we do down south.
0:16:10 > 0:16:11Come on. This way.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14You have mighty fine horns. Thank you.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16No need to be personal, Charles.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Come on. We're going south towards Derbyshire.
0:16:20 > 0:16:21That's it.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25- What do you want?- Don't ask!
0:16:25 > 0:16:27You've had...
0:16:27 > 0:16:28You've had your water.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30BULL MOOS
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Don't look at me like that. I'm not a bad man, OK? I know.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Come on, let's go.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Let's find the way.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40And as Charles heads off with the herd...
0:16:40 > 0:16:41TIM CHUCKLES
0:16:41 > 0:16:44..day one draws to an end, so nighty-night.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51It's a brand-new day, and our boys are back together
0:16:51 > 0:16:53and have made their way to Edinburgh.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55The sun is shining on the Scottish capital -
0:16:55 > 0:16:56surely a good omen.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59If you go at the back and push and I'll steer, OK?
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Is that all right?
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Uh-oh. Maybe not, then. Looks like the car's had it again.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06The run-up's OK.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08It's not too steep.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10- I'll have a go.- Yeah, OK.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14Let me get those biceps just warmed up, James, first, OK?
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- Hold on. OK, ready? - In your own time.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Come on, Charles. Put your back into it.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Ooh! Hope you don't do yourself a mischief.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24James. James.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Yeah, sorry. I think I'll come and give you a hand.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Take it out of gear!
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Oh, crikey. Really?
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- Ready? - Why would he do it any better?
0:17:35 > 0:17:36Come on, James.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Push! Push!
0:17:40 > 0:17:41He's so much older than you!
0:17:41 > 0:17:43- James...- I've run out.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45- I've run out.- The road trip...
0:17:45 > 0:17:46This isn't right!
0:17:46 > 0:17:48..is all about the two of us, OK?
0:17:48 > 0:17:51- Do you want me to drive instead? - Oh, no!
0:17:52 > 0:17:54OK, let's try brute force from both boys
0:17:54 > 0:17:56and a helping hand from a mechanic.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Push for all your might, here in Edinburgh!
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Let's go.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Let's go, James. Keep going.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07Keep going. Hold it there, James. Hold it there.
0:18:07 > 0:18:08Handbrake on, driver.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12- Well done.- There we go. The day is alive.- Come on, let's walk.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Thanks a lot. All the best to you.
0:18:14 > 0:18:15Oh, yes, of course - there's shopping to do.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18So far, James has bagged himself three lots -
0:18:18 > 0:18:21the Chinese stools, the hardwood tables and the Arts and Crafts mirror -
0:18:21 > 0:18:26which means he's still got £95.68 in his pocket.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Charles, meanwhile, hasn't bought a single thing. Ha!
0:18:31 > 0:18:37So he's got some big buying to do today, with his £447.34.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44Thankfully, our experts aren't too far from their first shop
0:18:44 > 0:18:48so, with the car out of action, they're walking the rest of the way.
0:18:48 > 0:18:49Look at this view!
0:18:49 > 0:18:53MUSIC: I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) by The Proclaimers
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- BOTH:- # And I would walk 500 more
0:18:56 > 0:19:01# Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
0:19:01 > 0:19:04# To fall down at your door
0:19:04 > 0:19:06# La-la, la-la
0:19:06 > 0:19:08# La-la, la-la... #
0:19:08 > 0:19:10What a lovely tone you've got, Charles!
0:19:10 > 0:19:11That's a matter of opinion.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Oh, look at that - snake hips!
0:19:20 > 0:19:21- Are you shattered?- Yeah. - Are you shattered?
0:19:21 > 0:19:23- I need to get fit. - You need to get fit.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28- I'm almost losing my sap and energy for this first shop, James.- Really?
0:19:28 > 0:19:31This is a cunning plan.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34So cunning you could put a tail on it.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Charles and James will be doing a spot of joint shopping this morning.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Oh, Lord! Do be careful, Charles.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46They've finally arrived in one piece at Courtyard Antiques.
0:19:46 > 0:19:47After you.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Oh, James! Get it together, chaps.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56With a wide selection of antiques spread over two floors,
0:19:56 > 0:19:59it's time for some serious shopping, particularly Charles.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01This is an amazing shop, isn't it?
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Well...there's no shortage of content here, is there?
0:20:04 > 0:20:08- Shall I go this way and you go that way?- OK. You have choice. Good luck, good luck.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13Still to start spending, Charles has decided to seek out dealer Lewis
0:20:13 > 0:20:15to get some insider knowledge.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- Hello, there.- Hi, Charles. - You must be the proprietor here.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23- Yes.- Would you have anything that is quite market fresh,
0:20:23 > 0:20:26that maybe is something full of Eastern promise?
0:20:26 > 0:20:28- We have some early carvings... - Oh, really?
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- ..up at that end. - Let's go for a wander.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34James, meanwhile, is going it alone upstairs.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Always look up, always look down.
0:20:37 > 0:20:38There might be some lovely rugs,
0:20:38 > 0:20:41there might be something interesting hanging up.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43It's mainly chairs at the moment.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Downstairs, Charles is getting a closer look
0:20:47 > 0:20:50at the group of 17th and 18th-century carvings.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54- Have they just come in, or...?- Yeah.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56God, they're beautiful. How much are they?
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Erm, I was hoping to get 140 each for them.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Aren't they gorgeous?
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- Have they been here a while? - They've been here four days.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Aren't they nice?
0:21:06 > 0:21:09I suppose they're what we call caryatids, aren't they?
0:21:09 > 0:21:12And a caryatid is almost like a plaster,
0:21:12 > 0:21:18where it's almost a moulding applied to a piece of furniture.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21I haven't really seen so much up here.
0:21:21 > 0:21:22I think I might head down.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26Let's muscle in on young Hanson downstairs, shall we?
0:21:26 > 0:21:29HE HUMS
0:21:29 > 0:21:31What could be the best price on them?
0:21:33 > 0:21:34590?
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Keep it high, Lewis, keep it high!
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Keep it high. He's got plenty of money.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43He's ahead. He's ahead at the moment.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45- They're very nice, those, aren't they?- Yeah, they are.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47- You've got £590. - I wish I did, I wish I did.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53- Keep spending, keep spending.- Thanks a lot!- I'm just going to come by, do you mind?
0:21:53 > 0:21:55You know, when you're at that moment, caught in time...
0:21:55 > 0:21:59- I know.- ..you get your old mate just come and upset the apple cart.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Before Friday sings,
0:22:01 > 0:22:06I would like to go for the big one that could dip high or dip low.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Yeah, I know. It's worth it, isn't it?
0:22:08 > 0:22:10After that walk we've had, I've got to clear my head a bit,
0:22:10 > 0:22:13because I'm still, in my own mind, walking still.
0:22:13 > 0:22:18Talking of walkies, James has found a Studio Pottery corgi moneybox
0:22:18 > 0:22:19right under Charles's nose.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- That's a nice thing. Can I have a look at that?- No, you can't!
0:22:22 > 0:22:24No, you can't! Do you know what?
0:22:24 > 0:22:28- Good design...- Yes.- Good design always has humour.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30- I do like that. - It's like Martinware Brothers.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- I think, Lewis, what I'm going to do...- I like the crown.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37I think I'm going to make a note of these and just say, "Let's put them to one side."
0:22:37 > 0:22:40- I'm going to put that to one side as well.- No, no, no, you're not.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44- Let's have a chat. That'll be first come, first served.- Lewis...
0:22:44 > 0:22:46I'm looking at this,
0:22:46 > 0:22:49I'm looking at this, and I'm getting as feel of about £20.
0:22:49 > 0:22:50About half of what I was thinking.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Really? 25 and it's yours.
0:22:53 > 0:22:54I'll buy them at 25.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Go on. First one done!
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- Wahey!- I can't believe it!
0:22:59 > 0:23:03I almost feel like giving you a Glasgow head-butt,
0:23:03 > 0:23:04via this delightful...
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- To the winner goes the spoils! - That's a very good object, James.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- That's a lovely object. - And to Queen and country.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11Get out of here! Go on!
0:23:11 > 0:23:14- Thank you, Lewis. - Go walk those 500 miles that way!
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Go on, get out of here!
0:23:17 > 0:23:22An interruption by James sees him walk off with his fourth lot for auction.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26Charles, meanwhile, is still thinking about the caryatids - as you do.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30I'd be prepared to spend £400 on them.
0:23:30 > 0:23:31Cash.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Charlie is slightly wearing him down.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38The poor man's going to have to lie down in a darkened room soon, isn't he?
0:23:38 > 0:23:41I would be prepared to go kind of halfway with you, 450.
0:23:43 > 0:23:44That's quite interesting.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Oh, it's open! It's a sort of weird curio.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52It's very heavy. It's made of lead...
0:23:54 > 0:23:57..and it's got a donkey on it, a mule, a donkey.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00It's rather sweet, isn't it?
0:24:00 > 0:24:02It's got no price on it. A couple of quid...
0:24:02 > 0:24:05So, he's off to interrupt - yet again.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09I found this in a little cabinet, rather... Curio.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11- That's pretty.- Pretty, isn't it?
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- That's nice.- It's not TOO nice.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16It's really nice.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18- Wonderful!- Hold on, hold on...
0:24:20 > 0:24:21It's very good, isn't it?
0:24:21 > 0:24:23- How much is that? - A couple of pounds?
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Never mind the quality - feel the weight.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28It hasn't got a price tag,
0:24:28 > 0:24:31so, you know, I thought I'd give you a lift from nought.
0:24:31 > 0:24:3215.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36I think we're moving in the right direction, Lewis.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38It's nice to see. Lewis - a tenner.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Go on, put it there.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Well done. My work is done here.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- Do you know...- My work is done here. - He's more a decision kind of guy.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47My work is done here. Thank you, good people.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51- Good people of Edinburgh, I leave you.- I shall wish you good day.- Good day, good day.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Do you know, sometimes you worry that a man's on fire.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56This man's come from nowhere and he is on fire.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58He's certainly hot!
0:24:58 > 0:25:01With a total of five lots bought, that's James spent.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Charles, we're still waiting for you to get started.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08Now, how about those caryatids?
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Would you meet me at £400 and give me a chance?
0:25:11 > 0:25:12420.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Oh, don't say that! Would you meet me at 410?
0:25:20 > 0:25:21Here he goes.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23- Come on.- Do you know what, Lewis?
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Life's a journey.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31We hold tight and as I go back into England,
0:25:31 > 0:25:35I'll think of England and hope the nation will rejoice...
0:25:35 > 0:25:37at £410.
0:25:38 > 0:25:39Thank you very much.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Took a while to get there, but you got there.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Charles has almost blown his whole budget on the six caryatids,
0:25:46 > 0:25:49which he will split into three lots for auction. Dear, oh, dear.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53- Lewis, thank you again. - Goodbye to you.- Bye-bye.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00All shopped-out, James is taking it easy in Edinburgh this afternoon
0:26:00 > 0:26:04and heading to the birthplace of one of the greatest scientists in history,
0:26:04 > 0:26:07James Clerk Maxwell.
0:26:07 > 0:26:12Unknown to many but held in high esteem by fellow scientists,
0:26:12 > 0:26:13Maxwell inspired Einstein,
0:26:13 > 0:26:16and his discoveries helped in the development
0:26:16 > 0:26:20of electricity, radio, television and much more.
0:26:20 > 0:26:26Born in this building in June 1831, Maxwell's theories on astronomy,
0:26:26 > 0:26:29physiology, colour optics, thermodynamics,
0:26:29 > 0:26:32electricity and magnetism were ground-breaking.
0:26:32 > 0:26:37James has come to meet particle physicist Dr Aidan Robson to find out more.
0:26:37 > 0:26:42I guess science is one of James's special subjects.
0:26:42 > 0:26:43Such a bright spark!
0:26:44 > 0:26:47One of the things that James Clerk Maxwell is best known for
0:26:47 > 0:26:50is the theory of electromagnetism and so,
0:26:50 > 0:26:52around the middle of the 19th century,
0:26:52 > 0:26:55a lot of people were investigating these two phenomena,
0:26:55 > 0:26:57electricity and magnetism,
0:26:57 > 0:27:00and realising that they're different sides of the same thing.
0:27:00 > 0:27:05- OK.- So, if we pass a current through a coil of wire...- Yep.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07..then it becomes magnetic.
0:27:07 > 0:27:13Or, alternatively, if we move a magnet inside a coil of wire,
0:27:13 > 0:27:16then it generates an
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- electric current.- Can I feel that?
0:27:18 > 0:27:21And so these were the sort of experiments that Michael Faraday
0:27:21 > 0:27:22was doing, for example,
0:27:22 > 0:27:28and what James Clerk Maxwell was trying to do was develop a combined
0:27:28 > 0:27:32mathematical theory that explained everything, and he did that.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35It's what we know now as Maxwell's equations.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39And the extraordinary thing that came out of that was a prediction
0:27:39 > 0:27:44that energy was propagating what we know as an electromagnetic field
0:27:44 > 0:27:46at the speed of light.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50James Clerk Maxwell made the jump to realise that light itself
0:27:50 > 0:27:54is electromagnetic radiation, and this was extraordinary.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58This was one of the triumphs of 19th-century science.
0:28:01 > 0:28:06Maxwell's pioneering research into electromagnetic radiation
0:28:06 > 0:28:11led to inventions like the television, radio and mobile phones.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15Even more than that, he founded the whole field
0:28:15 > 0:28:18of mathematical physics
0:28:18 > 0:28:21and this is really what led to Einstein's success
0:28:21 > 0:28:24and led to Peter Higgs's work, as well.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28So Maxwell was really the foundation of a lot of the breakthroughs
0:28:28 > 0:28:30in physics since then.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34Maxwell was a hero of Albert Einstein, who famously said,
0:28:34 > 0:28:39"I stand on the shoulders of James Clerk Maxwell."
0:28:39 > 0:28:43Despite this recognition from possibly the most famous scientist in history,
0:28:43 > 0:28:49Maxwell has remained largely in the shadows since his death in 1879.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51But to those in the know,
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Maxwell's theories have shaped our modern world,
0:28:53 > 0:28:58paving the way for much of the world's technological innovations.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00Aidan, absolutely fascinating.
0:29:00 > 0:29:04It's lovely to know where the source material of the radio,
0:29:04 > 0:29:07the television, of mobile telephones...
0:29:07 > 0:29:10I must say, I do wish I concentrated slightly more at physics.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Anyway, it's been absolutely fascinating. Thank you very much indeed.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22Charles has made his way to North Berwick, where he's arrived
0:29:22 > 0:29:24at the final shop of the day.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27- Hello, there!- Oh, hello.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29How are you? Your name, sir, is?
0:29:29 > 0:29:32- Charles.- You're Charles as well? - Yes, exactly the same.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35- Occasionally Charlie. - Are you a Charlie?
0:29:35 > 0:29:36I'm normally a Charles.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41OUR Charles spent the bulk of his budget in the last shop,
0:29:41 > 0:29:44so has just over £37 available to spend.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Almost takes me back to my droving days.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56Beautiful, beautiful shop, Charles. I'm trying to butter you up as well.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Flattery will only get you so far, Charles.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Now, what have you spotted in here?
0:30:05 > 0:30:08It's quite a cute little, erm...
0:30:08 > 0:30:10cup, little tea bowl. Maybe a bowl.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14And often we see images of 18th-century ladies
0:30:14 > 0:30:16taking their tea like this.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20But it's a beautiful little blue-and-white example.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22- Charles?- Yes?
0:30:22 > 0:30:24They say small is beautiful.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26The little bowl here's quite sweet.
0:30:26 > 0:30:27Nice, isn't it? Just cute.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29- Yes, yes.- What could it be?
0:30:29 > 0:30:31- A couple of pounds?- Yeah.- Fine.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33- Quite cute, isn't it, for a couple of pounds?- Mm.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Yeah, I like your style.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Thanks, Charles. That's one purchase.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40I'll keep wandering. Thanks a lot. OK.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42That's the tea bowl bought for £2,
0:30:42 > 0:30:47and it looks like there may be one more buy on the cards.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49That's a nice little dish.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51It's quite a nice pewter...
0:30:51 > 0:30:54I suppose what you might call a dinner plate,
0:30:54 > 0:30:58in this lovely almost pie-crust reeded-moulded cast frame.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02What you look for on any pewter or early metalware
0:31:02 > 0:31:04is where it's languished on tables,
0:31:04 > 0:31:08and you can see on the base of this dish,
0:31:08 > 0:31:10there are some nice knife marks.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14It's not overly early, but it's quite tactile.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17He likes it, but how much will it set him back?
0:31:17 > 0:31:18Er, Charlie?
0:31:19 > 0:31:21- Is it expensive or...?- It's 15.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23- 15?- Yeah.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26It's quite nice, isn't it?
0:31:26 > 0:31:27Yeah, because...
0:31:27 > 0:31:31something that doesn't sell an awful lot is pewter.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34- It's kind of out of... - Would you take £10 for it?
0:31:34 > 0:31:36Mmm, yes.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39Thanks ever so much. Pick up my blue-and-white...
0:31:40 > 0:31:44..tea bowl down here and the waiter that I am,
0:31:44 > 0:31:47walk this, or drove it, down to Cumbria.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49I'll pay for it first.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54Charles pays for the tea bowl and pewter plate...
0:31:55 > 0:31:59..which he'll add to his three pairs of wooden caryatids,
0:31:59 > 0:32:01giving him five lots to take to auction.
0:32:03 > 0:32:07James also has five lots - his pair of Chinese stools,
0:32:07 > 0:32:09a pair of Indian hardwood tables,
0:32:09 > 0:32:11the Arts and Crafts mirror,
0:32:11 > 0:32:14a Studio Pottery corgi moneybox
0:32:14 > 0:32:16and the lead donkey.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20The big question is, what do they think of each other's lots?
0:32:21 > 0:32:25He's bought a pewter plate. Nobody buys pewter.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28Charles was very excited about the caryatids.
0:32:28 > 0:32:33I had a look at them and some I liked and some I didn't really like.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35He paid £10
0:32:35 > 0:32:38for that little beautifully tactile donkey so, hopefully...
0:32:40 > 0:32:43..he'll be the ass at the end of this auction.
0:32:43 > 0:32:44I say, Carlos!
0:32:44 > 0:32:47The boys are back on the road in a car that works -
0:32:47 > 0:32:48well, at the moment.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51It's another DKW 1000 Coupe.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53After beginning in Perth,
0:32:53 > 0:32:56our experts have now made their way over the border en route to auction
0:32:56 > 0:32:58in Crooklands, Cumbria.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03I must say, behind the wheel, this is a very different car.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05It actually feels like a decent car.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08- But it's not the same car. - No, it's red.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10This car's red. Our last car was blue, wasn't it?
0:33:10 > 0:33:13So it's had no spray job - it's just a completely different car?
0:33:13 > 0:33:15It feels like a different car.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17I think the other one died.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Fingers crossed on this one, anyway.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23The boys have arrived at Eighteen Eighteen Auctioneers.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27This is my moment to shine in the prize Cumbrian weather.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29James, on a day like today...
0:33:30 > 0:33:32..may your luck be an antique horse.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34On a day like today, let's get inside.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39With a history stretching back nearly 200 years -
0:33:39 > 0:33:42but not in this building - it's a well-established saleroom.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44The gentleman holding the gavel today is David Brooks.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46What does he make of our experts' lots?
0:33:48 > 0:33:51The lead token donkey is quite sweet.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53Is it going to sell well? I really don't know.
0:33:53 > 0:33:54Jury's out on that one.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57The tea bowl - supposedly 16th-century.
0:33:57 > 0:34:01It's got damage to it, so I don't think it will do terribly well,
0:34:01 > 0:34:04despite its age. But, again, we do get real surprises, sometimes,
0:34:04 > 0:34:05with the Chinese market.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09Oh, yes, it's a busy room and there's online and phone bidding here, too,
0:34:09 > 0:34:12so take your seat, chaps.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14Hold tight! Oh... OK!
0:34:14 > 0:34:15Oh, blimey!
0:34:15 > 0:34:16Sorry about that. Sorry about that.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22First up, James's pair of Chinese stools.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26I have to start the bidding with me at £60.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29You watch. The net's going up, up.
0:34:29 > 0:34:3065 on the internet.
0:34:30 > 0:34:3270 with me.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35- Profit.- 80 with me. £80 here.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37- We have 85...- I'd like to start bidding now.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41Just in time, sir, 90 in the room.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44It's against you on the net. In the room at £90, have we finished?
0:34:44 > 0:34:48- Chin up.- With the scarf in the room at £90...
0:34:49 > 0:34:51- Profit.- Cheap lot.- £15.
0:34:51 > 0:34:55James hoped for more, but a profit nevertheless.
0:34:55 > 0:34:56How do you feel?
0:34:57 > 0:34:58- Look at me.- Gutted.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Now, now! Less of the negative, James.
0:35:03 > 0:35:07Right, the first pair of Charles's caryatids are the next to go.
0:35:07 > 0:35:08Where am I going to start?
0:35:08 > 0:35:10- £50?- Come on, internet.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13Apparently, we have a telephone bid. 50 now on the internet.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16- Come on, let's go!- 55 on the phone.
0:35:16 > 0:35:1960 now. 65 on the phone.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21I've got a net bid and a phone bid.
0:35:21 > 0:35:22I'm more confident now.
0:35:22 > 0:35:2475 on the phone.
0:35:24 > 0:35:2580 on the internet.
0:35:25 > 0:35:2785, phone.
0:35:27 > 0:35:2990, net.
0:35:29 > 0:35:3095 on the phone.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33- We'll get there slowly. - Hold tight, everybody, hold tight!
0:35:33 > 0:35:35We've got a long way to go. It's those two over there.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37110 on the phone.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40- 120 on the internet. - Go on, phone line!
0:35:40 > 0:35:41130 on the phone.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44- We've got a long way to go. - 140 on the net.
0:35:44 > 0:35:45150 on the phone.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47- Have we finished?- Come on!
0:35:47 > 0:35:50No, 160. 160 on the internet.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53And we will sell if no further interest at £160...
0:35:55 > 0:35:59I make that a profit apiece. Well done, boys.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01It just shows - the room is out...
0:36:01 > 0:36:04- The room is out.- We're very... - I don't think the room was ever in.
0:36:04 > 0:36:05No.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09Well, let's see how the room feels
0:36:09 > 0:36:12about your pair of Indian tables, shall we, James?
0:36:12 > 0:36:1520. £20, madam? Thank you.
0:36:15 > 0:36:16£20 bid in the room.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18You watch this now - it's going to move.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20- 25.- 25.
0:36:20 > 0:36:2228, fresh bid. 30.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26- 32. 32 in the room.- Come on.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28It's against you on the net.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30They're here to be sold at the 32...
0:36:32 > 0:36:35Oh, dear, that's a shame. Bad luck, James.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37You know what, James? It's a funny old game.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39It IS a funny old game, isn't it?
0:36:39 > 0:36:40It IS a funny old game.
0:36:40 > 0:36:44Charles, time for your second pair of caryatids.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46£70 on the internet.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49Bidding on the phone? 75? 75 on the phone.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52- 80 on the net.- Phone's in, is it?
0:36:52 > 0:36:5585, phone. 90, net.
0:36:55 > 0:36:59- These are good.- 95, phone.- I thought the first ones were lovely.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01Caryatids are carrying on. Come on, phone bid.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03- 110 on the phone.- Come on, internet.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06120 on the internet. 130 on the phone.

0:37:10 > 0:37:12- 160 on the internet. - Come on, phone bid.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14160 on the internet.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16- Phone bid, look at me. - That should be enough.- Look at me!
0:37:16 > 0:37:18160 on the internet - have we finished?
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- Out on the phone.- Go on, phone bid! - Anything from the room, no?
0:37:21 > 0:37:23160 on the internet here and going...
0:37:25 > 0:37:28Another profit there for Charles - marvellous!
0:37:28 > 0:37:30What a gamble! What a gamble!
0:37:30 > 0:37:34I'd love to know, how far would that net bid go?
0:37:34 > 0:37:36We'll never know, Charles.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40Next up, it's James and his Arts and Crafts mirror.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43I'm going to have to start the bidding with me at £55.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46- Ah, well done, chief.- So you should. I paid £100 for it.
0:37:46 > 0:37:4855. It's against you on the net.
0:37:48 > 0:37:5060. 65 with me. 70. Now we're jumping up.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53- The net really wants this. - Commissions are out
0:37:53 > 0:37:55- and the internet has jumped up to £90.- Oh, my goodness!
0:37:55 > 0:37:58- Wow!- £90.- Well done, chief. - Interest on the phone?
0:37:58 > 0:38:0195. I've come back to you. 100 now on the internet.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04- At 100 on the internet. - This net really wants it.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- That net will go up and up. - We have £130 on the phone now,
0:38:07 > 0:38:09and selling...
0:38:11 > 0:38:14That profit puts you back in the game, James.
0:38:14 > 0:38:18- That's a whopping £30 profit. - It's a £30 profit.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20- Yeah, happy?- I am happy.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23Will it be third time's the charm for Charles,
0:38:23 > 0:38:26as his final pair of caryatids go on offer?
0:38:26 > 0:38:28Let's ask £50, got to be.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30£50 on the phone, thank you.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33- Net's in, net's in. - That's before the internet.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35- 100.- We've jumped to £100.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38- I like your style! - £100 on the phone.
0:38:38 > 0:38:39Straight in. He's jumped.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41110, there you go.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43- 120 on the phone.- Come on, net.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46- These could move.- 130 on the net.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49140 on the phone. How are we doing? 150?
0:38:49 > 0:38:51- Yes, we are.- Come on, internet and phone bid!
0:38:51 > 0:38:52160 on the phone, is it?
0:38:52 > 0:38:54Yes, 160 on the phone.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56- 170 on the internet. - Go on, phone bid!
0:38:57 > 0:39:00- No!- On the internet now, going...
0:39:04 > 0:39:07This pair fared a little better than the other two
0:39:07 > 0:39:09and Charles bags another good profit.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11Overall, James, I'm delighted with that,
0:39:11 > 0:39:15because it was a gamble worth taking, just to enjoy that voyage.
0:39:15 > 0:39:20James is up again. This time, it's his lead donkey.
0:39:20 > 0:39:21£20, please. Start me somewhere.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23- Thank you, madam.- Here we go.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25£20 I have bid.
