It's the nation's favourite antiques experts. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:03 | |
-With £200 each... -I want something shiny. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
..a classic car and a goal - to scour Britain for antiques. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:10 | |
-I like a rummage! -I can't resist it. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
The aim, to make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
Why do I always do this to myself? | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
-There'll be worthy winners... -Give us a kiss. -..and valiant losers. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:22 | |
Come on - stick 'em up. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:24 | |
-So, will it be the high road to glory... -Onwards and upwards! | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |
..or the slow road to disaster? | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
Take me home! | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
This is Antiques Road Trip. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:31 | |
Yeah! | 0:00:33 | 0:00:34 | |
# It's a new dawn, it's a new day | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
# It's a new life for me | 0:00:39 | 0:00:43 | |
# And I'm feeling good. # | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
Today we begin a brand-new adventure in the south of England with | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
les auctioneers extraordinaires, | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
Catherine Southon and Charles Hanson. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
How exciting. They make a nice couple, don't they? | 0:00:55 | 0:01:00 | |
I'm a northern guy, | 0:01:00 | 0:01:01 | |
and I've come very far south to take on a southern lass. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
That's it. Southon in southern. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
You know what they say - there can be a big North-South divide | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
and I'm feeling it, but not that much. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
Right. Road Trip regular Charles is a smooth talker | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
who knows his stuff when it comes to sniffing out antiques. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
Isn't it beautiful? | 0:01:20 | 0:01:21 | |
Oh, look at this little lamby! | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
-I know. -Oh, look! | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
-Baaa! -Hello, lambs. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
His rival on this journey, another Road Trip favourite, Catherine, | 0:01:30 | 0:01:34 | |
is the queen of brokering a good deal. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
How do you play the Road Trip game? | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
-What is your game? -I don't have a game. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
I don't have a strategy. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
If I like it, I buy... | 0:01:43 | 0:01:44 | |
-What have you done? -My seat has gone back. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
Sorry. Sorry, Catherine about that. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
Oh, Charles. Starting this Road Trip with £200 each, | 0:01:49 | 0:01:53 | |
our experts will be zipping around in this snazzy 1981 MGB GT. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:59 | |
On this epic Road Trip, | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
Catherine and Charles will start in the south of England before making | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
their way north, meandering around the West Midlands | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
and then travelling through the Peak District. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
They will finish up with a final auction in Congleton in Cheshire. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
This leg will kick off in Arundel, West Sussex, | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
and end in Paddock Wood, Kent, for an auction. Nice. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
Charles, it is getting really hot in here. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
You think this is right? | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
Um, do you mean the car or us? | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
-What? -Sorry. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
Charles Hanson! | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
Yeah. This morning, our Charles will shop first. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:38 | |
Look out, Arundel. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:39 | |
Isn't that charming? | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
-Good morning. -Good morning. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
-How are you? -I'm very well, thank you, Charles. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
-Charles Hanson. -Nice to meet you. -What a gorgeous town. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
You are right there. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
David's good lady wife Amy has something she'd like to | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
show Charles, and she's a good egg. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
Hello. Is that ostrich egg? Of course. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
It's a cigarette stand, isn't it? | 0:02:58 | 0:02:59 | |
Dispenser. I would have thought... | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
What is it - 1930s? | 0:03:01 | 0:03:02 | |
Yes, it's so exotic, | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
It's so, I suppose, stylish. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
So really because this obviously is a faux shell. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
It's not a real shell, is it? | 0:03:10 | 0:03:11 | |
It's just made to imitate some type of ostrich egg. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:15 | |
It's a really stylish object, Amy. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
How much is it? | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
-£50. -How much? -£50. -£15? -50! | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
Sorry. Five-zero. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
OK. You're happy. No problem. 20. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
-How much? -20. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:28 | |
-20? -Yeah. -Oh, that's not bad. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
Blimey! One to consider. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
And he rather fancies this Minton bowl. Goodness knows why. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:37 | |
The reason that I like this is this, what we call... | 0:03:37 | 0:03:40 | |
we call this blue Blue Celeste. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
What I love is this continuous band of sailing vessels | 0:03:43 | 0:03:47 | |
against this really well-illuminated skyline. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:52 | |
-Art Deco, 1930. -Oh, right. -HE TAPS THE BOWL | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
Is that a chip? | 0:03:54 | 0:03:55 | |
Yeah, it is. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:57 | |
Yeah. Surely that will knock some money off | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
the £120 ticket price, then? | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
I'd want to pay you about £50. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
-Is that too little? -I think that's too low, I'm afraid. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:07 | |
Would you meet me at £60? | 0:04:07 | 0:04:08 | |
Let's do it at £60. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:10 | |
Amy, you are happy at 60? | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
-Yeah. -I think we're all good at 60. -David, you're happy? | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
So I can buy the attractive bowl, | 0:04:14 | 0:04:16 | |
my Road Trip now is off and running, | 0:04:16 | 0:04:18 | |
quite literally sailing. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
You slightly lost me there, Charles. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
Anyway, that's your first lot bought - | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
what else is here of interest? | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
A little rootwood carving of an elder. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
Probably Japanese. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:31 | |
And this would date to around 1880. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
He has got a split. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
The feet are not particularly good, | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |
but the detail in there is very, very nice indeed. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
Nice patination. David, how much is he? | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
-35. -Yeah, he's nice. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:45 | |
And the best on him would be? | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
Make an offer. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
-Make an offer? -Yes. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:50 | |
-£10. -All right. -Is that a sale? | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
It's a £10 sale. Well done. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
-I'll take him. -Thank you very much indeed. -I'll take him. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
Cor, he is on a roll, isn't he? | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
That's another lot bought and he is showing no sign of stopping. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
What is this ink stand here, David? | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
-Well, I believe it to be Black Forest. -OK. So it is German. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:08 | |
I think it is about 1900, 1910. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
-But it is in remarkably good condition. -Yep. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
Black Forest carvings became a symbol of luxury and wealth | 0:05:14 | 0:05:19 | |
associated with travel, and very popular today. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
What would be your very best price, Amy? | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
You can have...150. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
I like it, but my bid would be £70. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:33 | |
-£80. -Oh, don't say that. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
SHE LAUGHS | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
£75, and you've got a deal. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
-OK. -OK, 75 is good. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:43 | |
-I'll take it. Go on, thank you very much. -Thank you so much. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
Another deal done and Charles is still considering | 0:05:46 | 0:05:49 | |
the cigarette dispenser, which could be a risky punt, | 0:05:49 | 0:05:51 | |
as tobacco-related collectables | 0:05:51 | 0:05:53 | |
aren't particularly popular these days. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:55 | |
HE COUGHS | 0:05:55 | 0:05:57 | |
And your best on that is 20? | 0:05:57 | 0:05:58 | |
-Yes. -This lovely sort of simulated ostrich egg in the jazz | 0:05:58 | 0:06:01 | |
Art Deco style, | 0:06:01 | 0:06:03 | |
it's got great style, I will buy this for £20. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:06 | |
Thank you, Amy. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:08 | |
It seems like a no-brainer to me, and he is done! | 0:06:08 | 0:06:10 | |
That's a huge £165 spent on four lots in his very first shop. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:15 | |
Catherine has made her way to Storrington | 0:06:19 | 0:06:21 | |
for her first shop of the day. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:23 | |
And she's made a beeline for something elegant. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:27 | |
I have actually done OK with some fans recently. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:31 | |
This one in particular, though, this is mother-of-pearl, | 0:06:31 | 0:06:34 | |
so the guard sticks, the outer sticks, | 0:06:34 | 0:06:36 | |
are mother-of-pearl. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
It does say on it, AF, so "as found", | 0:06:39 | 0:06:41 | |
so that means there is obviously something wrong with it. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
Well, let's get the lowdown from dealer, Ian. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
It's in a little bit of a poorly state. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
-Oh, gosh, it is, isn't it? -Yeah. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
OK. Right. You don't have any more, by any chance, do you? | 0:06:50 | 0:06:56 | |
Anywhere else, dotted? | 0:06:56 | 0:06:58 | |
Well, actually, I have. I've got two more which I haven't priced up yet. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:02 | |
I haven't put out for sale. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:04 | |
Lovely! This is getting exciting. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |
It is indeed. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:07 | |
Right, let's see those fans. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
I used to have a few of those. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:11 | |
Well, the problem that we have is that we have | 0:07:11 | 0:07:14 | |
three fans in very poor condition. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:19 | |
These two you haven't put prices on. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
-No. -I mean, he's put £12 on that, your friend, Simon? -Yes. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:25 | |
I mean, I would probably offer eight, if that is acceptable to him. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:30 | |
-Eight for this one, alone? -Yeah. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |
I think I can do it for ten. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:35 | |
Oh, OK. And then I would probably say ten for each of those. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:39 | |
Shall we see what else you might buy? | 0:07:39 | 0:07:41 | |
Well, I'm quite interested in your little puppy outside. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:43 | |
-Ah. -How much is that doggie in the window? | 0:07:43 | 0:07:46 | |
Well, actually on the path. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:49 | |
-He's lovely. -He's actually... | 0:07:49 | 0:07:51 | |
Although he is a puppy, he is about the same age | 0:07:51 | 0:07:54 | |
as the larger full-sized Great Dane. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:56 | |
Is he not very old? | 0:07:56 | 0:07:57 | |
He's probably about ten years old. | 0:07:57 | 0:07:59 | |
What sort of price could he be? | 0:07:59 | 0:08:01 | |
-He could be about 30-ish? -I would say 40. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:04 | |
If we can say 30 on the fans and 38 on him, we've got a deal. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:10 | |
You don't think we could do 32 on the fans and 38 on him? | 0:08:10 | 0:08:15 | |
Oh, I'm not going to argue over £2. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:19 | |
-Very good. -I'm not going to argue over £2. -Thank you. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:22 | |
It's been lovely. £32. £38. What are we going to call him? | 0:08:22 | 0:08:26 | |
Lucky. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
Well, let's hope he lives up to his name. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:30 | |
So that is the trio of fans and Lucky the dog bought for £70. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:35 | |
Good stuff. Woof. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:37 | |
Back with Charles and he has made his way 12 miles north | 0:08:39 | 0:08:43 | |
to the small town of Petworth - I live near there. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:47 | |
Charles is heading into Petworth Antiques. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
With just £35 left in his pocket, he'll need to be canny. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:56 | |
Isn't that sweet? | 0:08:56 | 0:08:57 | |
We see lots of blue and white at antique centres | 0:08:57 | 0:09:00 | |
and often it's willow pattern, | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
it can be quite mundane and quite boring. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:04 | |
This is a fisherman pattern, | 0:09:04 | 0:09:06 | |
and this coffee cup would date to around 1785. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:10 | |
And what I like about this coffee pot is you will see, | 0:09:10 | 0:09:13 | |
this, almost, fritting in the glaze, | 0:09:13 | 0:09:16 | |
which might suggest it is experimental. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
It could be quite an early coffee cup. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:22 | |
With a ticket price of £10, it is time to talk to dealer Jeff. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:27 | |
1,000 pence and the best price would be, in pence? | 0:09:27 | 0:09:29 | |
I should think £8. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:33 | |
800 pence. That's not bad. 800 pence. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:36 | |
-A good buy, I think. -It just sounds a bit more grand saying pence. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:40 | |
If you say so, Charles. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:42 | |
And it looks like that is a deal done on the Caughley coffee cup. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:46 | |
And with that, a day's shopping draws to a close. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:50 | |
Nighty-night, guys. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
And just like that, Catherine and Charles are back on the road. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:01 | |
This is, Charles, | 0:10:01 | 0:10:04 | |
the first time I have ever been in a car with you driving | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
-and I am petrified. -You're not, are you? | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
-Why? -This is you. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:10 | |
This morning, Catherine and Charles have moseyed along | 0:10:12 | 0:10:16 | |
to Lewes in East Sussex, | 0:10:16 | 0:10:18 | |
home to our experts' first shop of the day. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:20 | |
This is well-known territory to me - I will show you around. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
Come on. Ladies first. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:25 | |
Catherine has £120, while Charles | 0:10:28 | 0:10:30 | |
has just under 30. Crumbs! | 0:10:30 | 0:10:32 | |
Oh, look, smiley owners Michelle and Craig. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:35 | |
Hello! | 0:10:35 | 0:10:36 | |
This cabinet, I feel, is a very good place to start. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:41 | |
-Hello. -Hello, I am back with the keys. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:43 | |
Thank you, Michelle. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:44 | |
-Another thing... -Can I call you Michelle My Belle? | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
It might give us a discount as well. Thank you, Michelle. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:49 | |
ALARM SOUNDS Oh, my Lord! Charles! | 0:10:49 | 0:10:51 | |
-Sorry about that. -How alarming. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:53 | |
Meanwhile, Catherine has spied a small charm that she likes. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:57 | |
Isn't that sweet? | 0:10:57 | 0:10:59 | |
You've got this nice sort of embossed design. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:03 | |
I would have thought it is about 1920. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:06 | |
-Somewhere around there. -Can I hold on to that? | 0:11:06 | 0:11:08 | |
-Of course. -Would you mind? Can I give that to you? | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
Thank you. I just like that because it is a little bit... | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
A little bit different. And we all love a fan, don't we? | 0:11:13 | 0:11:16 | |
We do indeed. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:18 | |
Well, you certainly seem to this Road Trip. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:20 | |
What else has caught your eye, then, old girl? | 0:11:20 | 0:11:24 | |
I saw this ballerina. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:26 | |
I'm not a big fan of brooches, but she is quite sweet. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:29 | |
-Yes. -The subject is fantastic, | 0:11:29 | 0:11:31 | |
I mean, so often you find these big clusters with the big stone stuck in | 0:11:31 | 0:11:35 | |
the middle, but something like that.. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:38 | |
I mean, and she's quite elegant. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:40 | |
Her pose is quite elegant, isn't it? | 0:11:40 | 0:11:41 | |
She's actually quite lovely. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:42 | |
I quite like that. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |
It has got 50 on it. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:45 | |
I was thinking in my mind sort of 28, 30... | 0:11:45 | 0:11:47 | |
We'll leave Craig to consider Catherine's offer, | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
because Charles has found a Swansea porcelain ink stand. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:53 | |
He only has £27 left, so fingers crossed, eh? | 0:11:53 | 0:11:57 | |
I think it's lovely. | 0:11:57 | 0:11:59 | |
It is this beautiful boat shape and I would call this a piece | 0:11:59 | 0:12:02 | |
of Georgian porcelain and then it would date to around 1820. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:06 | |
How much could that be, Michelle? | 0:12:06 | 0:12:07 | |
I will have to phone him because there is no ticket on it. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:11 | |
Could it be £25? | 0:12:11 | 0:12:13 | |
-I really don't know. -Could you give him a call? | 0:12:13 | 0:12:15 | |
All right, I'll ask him, yeah. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:16 | |
Ink well. Thanks, Michelle. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:18 | |
-Find out for me. -OK. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:19 | |
Hi, Ian, it is Michelle. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:22 | |
Hello, lovey, how are you? | 0:12:22 | 0:12:24 | |
Right, Michelle My Belle, what news? | 0:12:24 | 0:12:27 | |
-Michelle? -Your luck is in. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:29 | |
-No, really? -Well, he said 30, but... | 0:12:29 | 0:12:31 | |
Really? I just wonder if you could do £28? | 0:12:31 | 0:12:36 | |
I think that would be OK. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:38 | |
-I will buy that for £28. -OK. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:40 | |
Oh, no, you won't. You're short, Charles. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:43 | |
I've only got £27 left. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:45 | |
-Oh, dear. -Would you like... -Never mind! | 0:12:45 | 0:12:48 | |
-That is not on purpose. I am a pound short. -I believe you. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:51 | |
Would you take £27? | 0:12:51 | 0:12:53 | |
And you really have completely cleared me out. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:56 | |
I apologise. | 0:12:56 | 0:12:58 | |
Yes. It's fine, it's fine, never mind. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:00 | |
Are you sure? Michelle My Belle, give us a kiss. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:03 | |
-Are you happy with that? -Yes. It doesn't matter. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:06 | |
You naughty boy. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:08 | |
That forgiving deal means Charles has spent every single penny, | 0:13:08 | 0:13:10 | |
so top marks. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:12 | |
Catherine is still shopping and Craig has something he thinks | 0:13:12 | 0:13:16 | |
will pique her interest. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:18 | |
How about some Asprey hair brushes? | 0:13:18 | 0:13:21 | |
-Now you're talking. -These have only just come into stock | 0:13:21 | 0:13:24 | |
-so they haven't even been cleaned yet. -They are lovely. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:27 | |
So this would've been in a set once upon a time. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:31 | |
Perhaps with some other little jars or something like that. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:33 | |
And maybe a hand mirror, probably. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:35 | |
But it's nice that we've got Asprey on the side there - | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
a nice clear mark, which is lovely, and you haven't polished them, | 0:13:38 | 0:13:41 | |
which I think is fantastic. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
A great side as well is the lovely green enamel, | 0:13:44 | 0:13:48 | |
the engine-turned enamel. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:49 | |
Did you have a price in mind for these? | 0:13:49 | 0:13:52 | |
Yes. They come in at a massive £10 each. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:54 | |
So £40. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:56 | |
Can they be 30 - is that cheeky? | 0:13:56 | 0:13:58 | |
-Can they be 30? -They can be 35. -Lovely. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:00 | |
Now, decision time. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:02 | |
Catherine has three lots. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:04 | |
Did you find out anything else on that? | 0:14:04 | 0:14:06 | |
I had a word with Michelle, we've made a decision | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
and we're going to take 30 on it. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:09 | |
You can do 30? That's wonderful. I will take that at 30. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:12 | |
This had a little ticket on it. What price...was it 12? | 0:14:12 | 0:14:14 | |
It was £12, so it's £10. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:17 | |
£10, OK. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:18 | |
Can you do that for eight? | 0:14:18 | 0:14:20 | |
Just to make my lot... | 0:14:20 | 0:14:21 | |
The reason being, the rest of my fans are 32 and if | 0:14:21 | 0:14:24 | |
I can make that eight, that gives it a nice comfortable... | 0:14:24 | 0:14:26 | |
-A nice round figure. -A nice round figure. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:28 | |
So, if I can do eight for that, that's lovely. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:31 | |
And £35 for the Asprey hairbrushes makes a combined total of £73. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:36 | |
S'marvellous. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:38 | |
Having spent every penny, | 0:14:40 | 0:14:42 | |
Charles has decided to take a trip to the seaside, | 0:14:42 | 0:14:44 | |
and has made his way to Brighton. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:46 | |
MUSIC: I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 | |
But he is not here to stroll along the prom, prom, prom - oh, no. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:54 | |
Instead, he is here to learn all about how the town | 0:14:54 | 0:14:57 | |
used to pong, pong, pong, | 0:14:57 | 0:15:00 | |
as he has come to meet Stuart Slark, | 0:15:00 | 0:15:03 | |
who knows a thing or two about Brighton's sewers. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:05 | |
Rather Charles than me. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:07 | |
-Is it Stuart? -Yes, it is. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:09 | |
-Good to see you. -Hello, Charles, nice to meet you. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:11 | |
That smell. It is great taking in this lovely air. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:15 | |
-Oh, it's beautiful. -It's clean and we always say enjoy the sea air, | 0:15:15 | 0:15:18 | |
-don't we? -We do. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:20 | |
If we roll back the years to maybe when Brighton Pavilion | 0:15:20 | 0:15:22 | |
and Prince Regent George IV, it was the place to come, | 0:15:22 | 0:15:26 | |
it was highly fashionable, | 0:15:26 | 0:15:28 | |
but back then there was a stench, wasn't there? | 0:15:28 | 0:15:30 | |
There was a very bad stench, yes. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
Because Brighton didn't have any sewerage system at all. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:36 | |
All the properties were on cesspits, | 0:15:36 | 0:15:38 | |
which meant there was nowhere for it to go, | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
which meant when they were full up | 0:15:41 | 0:15:42 | |
they used to tip them in the streets. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:44 | |
And it used to come all the way down on to the beach, | 0:15:44 | 0:15:46 | |
and then go out into the sea. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:47 | |
You're going to show me | 0:15:47 | 0:15:48 | |
what the sewers did to make this what it is today. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:51 | |
-Yes. -Great! I can't wait, Stuart. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:53 | |
By the mid-19th century, | 0:15:53 | 0:15:56 | |
Brighton was one of the fastest-growing towns in Britain | 0:15:56 | 0:15:59 | |
and thousands of families would visit | 0:15:59 | 0:16:01 | |
for their annual seaside holiday. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:04 | |
As a result, parts of Brighton struggled to cope. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:07 | |
One huge problem was the stench from overflowing cesspits, | 0:16:07 | 0:16:11 | |
and it would take one engineering genius to fix it, | 0:16:11 | 0:16:14 | |
by creating a sewerage system. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:16 | |
-Mind your step, Charles. -I can smell it. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:22 | |
Oh, my goodness me. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:23 | |
-Is that sewage? -That is raw sewage going through there at the moment. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:26 | |
Oh, my goodness me. So are we now...? | 0:16:26 | 0:16:29 | |
This is the old Victorian sewer. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:32 | |
Everything you see today with me is the old Victorian sewer, yes. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:37 | |
There is a surface run-off. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:38 | |
-Is that sewage? -No, that is just condensation in here at the moment. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:42 | |
I am pleased to hear it. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:44 | |
If you look here... | 0:16:44 | 0:16:45 | |
-Oh, yes. -This is where the rats normally sit. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:48 | |
Oh, you are joking. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:49 | |
-There's none here, so you're all right. -Oh, God! | 0:16:49 | 0:16:52 | |
This is awful, | 0:16:52 | 0:16:54 | |
in the nicest sense of learning about history, it's awful. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:59 | |
Gosh, we're quite deep now, aren't we, underground? | 0:16:59 | 0:17:01 | |
Yes, we are about 40 foot underground at the moment | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |
in the sewers itself. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:05 | |
My immediate reaction, I think, Stuart, | 0:17:05 | 0:17:08 | |
to what I can see is what a tremendous feat of engineering. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:12 | |
It's an incredible feat of engineering | 0:17:12 | 0:17:14 | |
when you think this was all open-cast done, | 0:17:14 | 0:17:17 | |
in other words it was a great big hole and then they just built | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
the brickwork around a wooden frame. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:22 | |
The man in charge of designing this impressive system | 0:17:25 | 0:17:28 | |
was Sir John Hawkshaw, | 0:17:28 | 0:17:30 | |
a talented civil engineer noted for his work on Charing Cross | 0:17:30 | 0:17:33 | |
and Cannon Street railway stations in London. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:38 | |
What did Sir John Hawkshaw do? | 0:17:38 | 0:17:39 | |
All I can see is a tunnel. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:41 | |
What was different with his work? | 0:17:41 | 0:17:43 | |
The difference came because Brighton has got no pumping stations on it | 0:17:43 | 0:17:48 | |
at all, and everything was done by gravity. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:51 | |
So what they invented, they invented an egg-shaped barrel, | 0:17:51 | 0:17:55 | |
as you can see. I'll show you with my torch. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:57 | |
As you can see, the egg-shaped barrel there. | 0:17:57 | 0:18:00 | |
So what that does, because it is | 0:18:00 | 0:18:03 | |
a small amount of gravity going through, | 0:18:03 | 0:18:05 | |
what it does, it speeds up and throws all the water | 0:18:05 | 0:18:09 | |
into the bottom of the barrel | 0:18:09 | 0:18:11 | |
and makes it go faster as you can hear it going down | 0:18:11 | 0:18:13 | |
the end of this pipe bit. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:15 | |
What a man Sir John was. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:17 | |
He almost, I suppose, rescued Brighton from what had been. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:20 | |
I think he helped make it as popular as it was. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:23 | |
And it is still in very good working condition now. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:26 | |
Which way are we going now, Stuart? | 0:18:26 | 0:18:28 | |
-Let's go down here. -OK. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:30 | |
As you go round the second bend, just mind the step down. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:32 | |
I feel like I'm in a loo, literally. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:34 | |
There are an impressive 29 miles of Victorian sewers | 0:18:34 | 0:18:39 | |
running under Brighton. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:41 | |
Wow! | 0:18:41 | 0:18:42 | |
# Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside | 0:18:42 | 0:18:46 | |
# Oh, I do like to be beside the sea... # | 0:18:46 | 0:18:49 | |
I wish he would stop jumping up and down. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:52 | |
Stuart, I can see light. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:54 | |
Yes, this is one of the most impressive chambers | 0:18:54 | 0:18:57 | |
that has ever been built | 0:18:57 | 0:18:59 | |
by Sir John Hawkshaw. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:01 | |
Wow, that is amazing, isn't it? | 0:19:01 | 0:19:03 | |
If you would believe it, | 0:19:03 | 0:19:05 | |
we have been told there is over seven million bricks in here. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:07 | |
Who were the workers? | 0:19:07 | 0:19:09 | |
They employed Irish navvies, actually. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:12 | |
So the Irish came over in their droves to support this build? | 0:19:12 | 0:19:16 | |
Yes, correct, yes. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:18 | |
And it cost quite a bit of money in those days. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:21 | |
They estimated the cost to build this at £80,000. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:25 | |
Back in 1860 something? | 0:19:25 | 0:19:28 | |
-Correct. -That would work out to be about £9 million today. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:32 | |
You would never get brickwork laid like this now in this day and age. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:36 | |
How long did it take to build? | 0:19:36 | 0:19:38 | |
It took from 1869 to 1874. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:41 | |
It was five years, which is incredible. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
A tribute to Victorian ingenuity and construction, | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
Hawkshaw's sewers remain in use today, keeping Brighton clean, | 0:19:48 | 0:19:53 | |
fragrant and safe from disease. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:55 | |
Daylight. Thank goodness. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:59 | |
Talking of fragrant... | 0:19:59 | 0:20:00 | |
The sweet smell of Brighton is here once again. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:06 | |
That was an experience. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:08 | |
So romantic, Charles. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:10 | |
Back with Catherine and she's travelled half an hour south | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
to Peacehaven for a final spot of shopping. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:22 | |
Good afternoon, sir. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:27 | |
Hiding behind the cabinets! | 0:20:27 | 0:20:29 | |
Good afternoon. A pleasure to meet you. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:31 | |
-I'm Catherine and you're...? -Hello, Catherine, I'm Steve. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:34 | |
Hello, Steve. Catherine has £57 still to spend. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:38 | |
Thank goodness there's lots of stock. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:41 | |
Whenever I see anything shagreen, I have to pick it up. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:45 | |
Shagreen is the most wonderful material. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:48 | |
So this is dyed, dyed green shark skin or ray skin. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:54 | |
You find a lot of things made from this in the Art Deco period. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:57 | |
This is probably '20s, '30s. | 0:20:57 | 0:20:59 | |
It's a lighter. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:01 | |
Had that been an etui or something like that, | 0:21:01 | 0:21:03 | |
that would have been absolutely gorgeous. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:06 | |
Can you do this for 20? | 0:21:06 | 0:21:08 | |
HE SIGHS | 0:21:08 | 0:21:09 | |
No. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:11 | |
Oh! | 0:21:11 | 0:21:13 | |
22 really would be the lowest. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:15 | |
22. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:16 | |
Shake my hand, Steve. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:18 | |
I'm going to buy this at £22. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:21 | |
Okey-doke. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:22 | |
That purchase brings the shopping to a close for this Road Trip. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:26 | |
Catherine will add the Art Deco gent's lighter | 0:21:26 | 0:21:30 | |
to her other purchases - | 0:21:30 | 0:21:32 | |
the collection of fans, including the novelty gilt metal charm, | 0:21:32 | 0:21:36 | |
the Great Dane woofer, | 0:21:36 | 0:21:38 | |
the green enamel brush set, | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
and the 1950s silver ballerina brooch. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:45 | |
She spent a total of £165. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:48 | |
Well done, that girl. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:49 | |
Charles, meanwhile, spent every single penny of his £200 pot, | 0:21:49 | 0:21:54 | |
buying a Minton bowl, the 1930s ostrich egg cigarette dispenser, | 0:21:54 | 0:22:00 | |
the Japanese carved figure, | 0:22:00 | 0:22:03 | |
the Black Forest desk stand, | 0:22:03 | 0:22:06 | |
the rare Caughley coffee cup | 0:22:06 | 0:22:08 | |
and the Swansea porcelain ink stand, which, | 0:22:08 | 0:22:11 | |
if it's right, is worth a fortune. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:13 | |
So, what do they make of each other's lots? | 0:22:13 | 0:22:15 | |
I love Catherine's puppy. That Great Dane in the window, | 0:22:15 | 0:22:17 | |
made in Cotswold stone, was an inspired buy. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:21 | |
And at £32, to me, | 0:22:21 | 0:22:23 | |
it's worth between 50 and 70. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:25 | |
That little blue and white cup looks pretty rare to me, | 0:22:25 | 0:22:28 | |
but have you spotted that massive crack down it? | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
But then he only paid £8 so who knows what will happen? | 0:22:31 | 0:22:35 | |
After starting in Arundel in Sussex, | 0:22:37 | 0:22:40 | |
our experts are now en route to | 0:22:40 | 0:22:41 | |
auction in Paddock Wood, Kent. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:44 | |
And they are raring to go. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:46 | |
We are literally at the back of the saleroom. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:49 | |
And the sun is shining. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:54 | |
And the sun is shining. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:56 | |
-What can go wrong? -Everything is in our favour today. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:58 | |
Hop Farm Auction Rooms is the place of battle. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:01 | |
What does the man in charge, Alex Jenkins, have to say | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
about our experts' lots? | 0:23:04 | 0:23:06 | |
I think my favourite for the auction has got to be the Black Forest. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:10 | |
I think that one has just got it all going on. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:12 | |
I think it is going to do very well and I'm just jealous | 0:23:12 | 0:23:15 | |
that I can't buy it myself, I have to say. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:16 | |
The Cotswold stone, | 0:23:16 | 0:23:18 | |
this could be the little fun | 0:23:18 | 0:23:19 | |
surprise hit of the auction, I think. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:21 | |
Time to find out. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:23 | |
With buyers online and in the room, | 0:23:23 | 0:23:25 | |
it's time for this pair to take their seats. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:27 | |
First up, Charles's Minton bowl - this could be good. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:33 | |
100, it starts at 100. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:36 | |
Oh, come on. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:37 | |
-I do hate to disappoint. -It's a great object, I had £100. | 0:23:37 | 0:23:41 | |
110, 120, 130, 140, 150 now. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:43 | |
160 on there, 170 now. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:47 | |
-Go on. -I'm over the moon with that. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:49 | |
Selling at 160. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:50 | |
Yeah! I just liked it. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:54 | |
-Thank you very much. -I wonder if they know about the chip. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:57 | |
Charles is off to a flying start, though. | 0:23:57 | 0:23:59 | |
That was your best thing. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:01 | |
Yeah, it was, and my blockbuster paid off, and I'm delighted. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:03 | |
Can Catherine make as big a splash with her first lot? | 0:24:03 | 0:24:06 | |
Her set of enamel brushes are next. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:09 | |
-£50 - I'm in. -Well done. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:11 | |
-Put it there? That's good, well done. -Sh! Keep going. | 0:24:11 | 0:24:14 | |
55 is online, 60. | 0:24:14 | 0:24:16 | |
At £60, £60, 65, 70, we're there. | 0:24:16 | 0:24:18 | |
-£70, sir? -I told you. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:21 | |
-I told you. -£70 here, 75 we want. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:22 | |
At £70 it is. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:25 | |
Yay! He's a friend of mine. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:27 | |
Hey! That's a profit apiece - great stuff. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:31 | |
I think you did very well. | 0:24:31 | 0:24:33 | |
Charles is up again, this time with his Swansea porcelain ink stand. | 0:24:33 | 0:24:36 | |
Now, stand by. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:39 | |
-£30 online. -Thank you, net, I'm happy. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:42 | |
32. 32 is at the back, 32. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:44 | |
34's there, 36? 36 there. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:46 | |
-Come on! -38 is there, 40. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:48 | |
-Keep going. -40 is there, 42. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:50 | |
-42 is there - 44, anywhere? -It doesn't need any more! | 0:24:50 | 0:24:52 | |
46 there, 48, 50 now. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:55 | |
£50 online. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:57 | |
At £50, we're selling at 50. | 0:24:57 | 0:24:59 | |
Gosh, well done. Another profit there for Charles, | 0:25:00 | 0:25:03 | |
but it could have been more. | 0:25:03 | 0:25:04 | |
You are flying. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:06 | |
-It's good. -£23... | 0:25:06 | 0:25:08 | |
Shall I go? You want to do this Road Trip by yourself? | 0:25:08 | 0:25:11 | |
Thank you, Wales, and thank you, Kent. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:13 | |
Time to find out if there are any dog lovers in the room. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:16 | |
It's Catherine's Great Dane. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:18 | |
Will he prove to be lucky? | 0:25:18 | 0:25:21 | |
-£20 is bid. -That's profit there. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:24 | |
-Oh, it's a bid! -£22 now, | 0:25:24 | 0:25:26 | |
-£22, 22 is online, 24. -Oh, come on! | 0:25:26 | 0:25:31 | |
-22 it is. -No. -The sympathy bids are coming in. | 0:25:31 | 0:25:35 | |
-Well done. -26 is in. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:38 | |
-£28, 30. -Yay! 32, 34. 34 is online. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:41 | |
36. 38's there, 40 now. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:44 | |
-42. -Very, very, very good. | 0:25:44 | 0:25:46 | |
44, back in. 46 there, 48 to you. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:49 | |
48's there, 50 now. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:51 | |
48 it is. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:52 | |
It got there in the end. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:54 | |
And it's another profit for Catherine. | 0:25:54 | 0:25:57 | |
-Here we go, at £5... -Lucky, you made £10. | 0:25:57 | 0:25:59 | |
-Lucky. -Now, Charles, this time with his Oriental old boy. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:06 | |
-22, 24, 26, 28. -Quite right, yes. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:10 | |
30. Go on! | 0:26:10 | 0:26:12 | |
Go on! Go on! | 0:26:12 | 0:26:13 | |
32's online. 32 it is. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:15 | |
At £32. Sells at 32. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:18 | |
Charles is certainly on a roll today. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:22 | |
Quality sells. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:24 | |
Quality sells well. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:25 | |
Quality sells well. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:27 | |
That's his mantra. | 0:26:28 | 0:26:30 | |
Catherine's fan selection is up next. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:32 | |
£20, thank you, sir. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:33 | |
22 now, straight in at 20. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:35 | |
Net's in. Watch the net go. Watch the net. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:37 | |
Still cheap for this lot. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:39 | |
-It's really cheap. -22 is there, 24, 26, 28, 26 there. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:41 | |
28, 30. 32, 34. No? | 0:26:41 | 0:26:45 | |
32 it is. In the middle at £32. | 0:26:45 | 0:26:48 | |
Anywhere else? Still pretty things, still cheap. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:51 | |
-Come on, Internet. -Watch the net. -There's nothing on the net. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:53 | |
£32 it is , it sells at 32. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:56 | |
-What? -Paris. | 0:26:56 | 0:26:58 | |
It was a risky punt, given their condition, | 0:26:58 | 0:27:00 | |
and one which didn't pay off, unfortunately. | 0:27:00 | 0:27:03 | |
I'm really gutted. I really, really thought they would do brilliantly. | 0:27:03 | 0:27:08 | |
That was my hope. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:10 | |
Don't laugh. Don't laugh! | 0:27:10 | 0:27:12 | |
Time to see how Charles's ostrich egg cigarette dispenser | 0:27:12 | 0:27:16 | |
will go up in smoke or not. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:18 | |
-£60 I'm bid. £65 we want. -We are in. | 0:27:18 | 0:27:21 | |
-You've got 60? -Look! We're live in the States. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:25 | |
£60 I've got, £65 we need. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:27 | |
At £60. It's still cheap, isn't it? | 0:27:27 | 0:27:30 | |
£60 here, | 0:27:30 | 0:27:32 | |
-at 60 it is. -Come on! | 0:27:32 | 0:27:33 | |
The world came to Kent | 0:27:34 | 0:27:36 | |
and the world saluted my egg and it hatched. I'm delighted. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:41 | |
I bet you are. That profit means Charles is romping | 0:27:41 | 0:27:44 | |
-further into the lead. -Funny old game, you know, | 0:27:44 | 0:27:46 | |
we've got a long way to go. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:48 | |
Oh, if looks could kill. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:50 | |
But can Catherine make a comeback | 0:27:50 | 0:27:53 | |
with her pretty little silver ballerina brooch? | 0:27:53 | 0:27:55 | |
Start straight in at £36. | 0:27:55 | 0:27:59 | |
-£38 anywhere? -Good. -Good. Keep going. -Good. -£38 now. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:03 | |
£38 there, 40 is here, 42, 44, 46. | 0:28:03 | 0:28:07 | |
-She's skipping away. -£48 now. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:09 | |
-Oh, that's quite good. -46 there, 48 we need. | 0:28:09 | 0:28:12 | |
Any more? | 0:28:12 | 0:28:13 | |
At 46. | 0:28:13 | 0:28:15 | |
Nice profit. | 0:28:15 | 0:28:17 | |
You've got to be pleased with that, Catherine. | 0:28:17 | 0:28:19 | |
-That's good. That's sweet 16 profit. -It's good for you. | 0:28:19 | 0:28:23 | |
Next up, Charles's rare Caughley coffee cup. | 0:28:23 | 0:28:26 | |
-£30 for it. -30. | 0:28:26 | 0:28:28 | |
Come on, rare object. | 0:28:28 | 0:28:29 | |
Look, Internet bid. | 0:28:29 | 0:28:31 | |
-Yes, straight in at 30. -32 we need. Still cheap. £30 there, 32 we want. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:36 | |
At £30 it is. | 0:28:36 | 0:28:38 | |
32's in, £34 now. | 0:28:38 | 0:28:41 | |
£32, at £32, it is 34 we want. | 0:28:41 | 0:28:43 | |
-Still going on the net. -At £32, £32 it is, at 32. | 0:28:43 | 0:28:46 | |
-Stop dancing. -Sorry. -Another cracking profit there for Charles. | 0:28:46 | 0:28:50 | |
Look at me. Thanks a lot. That's good. | 0:28:50 | 0:28:53 | |
Catherine is back in the hot seat now with her last lot, | 0:28:53 | 0:28:57 | |
the Art Deco gents' lighter. | 0:28:57 | 0:29:00 | |
£10 I'm bid. | 0:29:00 | 0:29:01 | |
12, 14, 16, 18. | 0:29:01 | 0:29:04 | |
-Come on, it's gorgeous! -22 it is. | 0:29:04 | 0:29:07 | |
24, worth a lot more. | 0:29:07 | 0:29:09 | |
-Too little ducks. Quack quack. -22, and 24 we need. | 0:29:09 | 0:29:13 | |
At 22. | 0:29:13 | 0:29:14 | |
Well, at least it wasn't a loss. | 0:29:14 | 0:29:18 | |
It had a good skin on it, it was a thick-skinned object, | 0:29:18 | 0:29:21 | |
you're thick-skinned as well, come on, it doesn't matter. | 0:29:21 | 0:29:25 | |
I think I'm going to cry. | 0:29:25 | 0:29:28 | |
Here comes Charles's final lot, the Black Forest desk stand. | 0:29:28 | 0:29:32 | |
-100 I'll take, 100, thank you. -Hello! | 0:29:32 | 0:29:35 | |
-You should take that and run. -No. Come on. | 0:29:35 | 0:29:37 | |
£100 it is. 110 now, should be more. | 0:29:37 | 0:29:39 | |
-110, 120, 130. -What? -Hold tight, baby. I'm sorry. | 0:29:39 | 0:29:42 | |
-130, 140. -Are you paying these guys? -140, 150. | 0:29:42 | 0:29:44 | |
-Hold tight. -160 online. 170. -Hello, Internet. America is calling. | 0:29:44 | 0:29:48 | |
It's the American dream. Come on, America. Come on, America. | 0:29:48 | 0:29:50 | |
-170, -180, 190? | 0:29:50 | 0:29:52 | |
-Yes, please. -Yes, please. -190 there, 200. | 0:29:52 | 0:29:54 | |
-200 is there, 210? -How do you... -Come on, America. -Charlie! | 0:29:54 | 0:29:57 | |
-220, 230. 230 is there, 240 now. 230 it is. -I'm amazed! | 0:29:57 | 0:30:00 | |
Baby, hold tight, it's a funny old game. | 0:30:00 | 0:30:03 | |
Sorry, Catherine. Keep going. | 0:30:03 | 0:30:05 | |
230 in the room, 240 we want. | 0:30:05 | 0:30:07 | |
-Come on, America! -240 is there, 250 is yours. | 0:30:07 | 0:30:10 | |
-250 it is, 260 now. -Come on! -At 250 in the room. | 0:30:10 | 0:30:14 | |
-At 250 it is, selling. -Sold. | 0:30:14 | 0:30:16 | |
-Thank you very much. -Well done. | 0:30:16 | 0:30:19 | |
-Wow! -Well done. -I can't believe it. | 0:30:19 | 0:30:21 | |
I think I need a kiss for that. | 0:30:21 | 0:30:23 | |
Oh! | 0:30:23 | 0:30:24 | |
And so Charles completes his full house of profits | 0:30:26 | 0:30:29 | |
with an amazing result. | 0:30:29 | 0:30:31 | |
I think you should do a little dance. | 0:30:31 | 0:30:33 | |
I might have a little jig for joy. | 0:30:33 | 0:30:34 | |
I might do a little jig for joy as well. | 0:30:34 | 0:30:37 | |
-GAVEL BANGS -Sorry. We're being told off now. | 0:30:37 | 0:30:39 | |
Catherine started this leg with £200 and made a pretty profit | 0:30:39 | 0:30:42 | |
of £13.76 after auction costs, leaving her with £213.76. | 0:30:42 | 0:30:49 | |
Well done. | 0:30:49 | 0:30:51 | |
Charles also started with £200 and he made an amazing profit of | 0:30:51 | 0:30:56 | |
£278.88, after saleroom fees, | 0:30:56 | 0:31:01 | |
so he goes into the next leg way out in the lead, | 0:31:01 | 0:31:05 | |
with a fabulous £478.88. | 0:31:05 | 0:31:08 | |
MUSIC: I Get Around by The Beach Boys | 0:31:10 | 0:31:13 | |
Hold onto your hats, we're about to start off on the second leg | 0:31:18 | 0:31:21 | |
with giggly twosome Charles amd Catherine. | 0:31:21 | 0:31:24 | |
They do love a laugh. | 0:31:24 | 0:31:26 | |
They'll start in the Kent village of Chart Sutton, | 0:31:26 | 0:31:31 | |
and aim for auction in Bourne End in Buckinghamshire. | 0:31:31 | 0:31:34 | |
They're sharing their first shop. Fortunately, it's a biggie. | 0:31:34 | 0:31:38 | |
Dealers Jamie and Trevor are on hand to help. | 0:31:38 | 0:31:40 | |
-Hello, gents. -Hello. -Hello. | 0:31:40 | 0:31:43 | |
-Catherine. -I'm Trevor. How nice to meet you. -Hello. | 0:31:43 | 0:31:46 | |
-Hello, Charles. Trevor. -Good to see you. -Nice to meet you. -Jamie. | 0:31:46 | 0:31:48 | |
Jamie, hello, Jamie. | 0:31:48 | 0:31:50 | |
Time to split up and browse. | 0:31:50 | 0:31:52 | |
Antiques don't buy themselves, you know. | 0:31:52 | 0:31:57 | |
Catherine has just over £210. | 0:31:58 | 0:32:01 | |
I quite like this. What's this over here? | 0:32:01 | 0:32:04 | |
-Oh, the clock and the manicure set. -That's an unusual combination. | 0:32:04 | 0:32:07 | |
This charming Edwardian mantle clock contains some tools | 0:32:10 | 0:32:13 | |
for keeping your nails neat and tidy. How sweet. | 0:32:13 | 0:32:16 | |
Want to have a look? | 0:32:16 | 0:32:18 | |
And then you open it up and you've got... | 0:32:18 | 0:32:21 | |
A set of manicure tools. | 0:32:21 | 0:32:22 | |
It's priced at £35. | 0:32:22 | 0:32:24 | |
To make something on this, I need it to be more like 15. | 0:32:24 | 0:32:28 | |
Could we split the difference and come in at 20? | 0:32:28 | 0:32:31 | |
-OK, let's put that as a possibility. -OK. -Put that to one side, | 0:32:31 | 0:32:34 | |
because I feel you have a lot more to offer here. | 0:32:34 | 0:32:37 | |
One item put aside. And what's this? | 0:32:37 | 0:32:42 | |
That's quite a nice old... | 0:32:43 | 0:32:45 | |
..railway sign. It's very heavy, be careful. | 0:32:45 | 0:32:48 | |
-It is heavy, isn't it? Cast iron. -Yes, cast iron. | 0:32:48 | 0:32:50 | |
What is it? "Any person who omits to shut and fasten this gate | 0:32:50 | 0:32:55 | |
"is liable to a penalty." That's a big lump, isn't it? | 0:32:55 | 0:32:59 | |
Yes, it's quite nice. | 0:32:59 | 0:33:01 | |
It's proced at 48. | 0:33:01 | 0:33:03 | |
What's ypur best, then, Trev? | 0:33:05 | 0:33:08 | |
-I'm happy to let you have that for 15, if it helps. -Are you? Right. | 0:33:08 | 0:33:13 | |
Another item to set aside. | 0:33:13 | 0:33:15 | |
And there really is no stopping Catherine this morning. Go, girl. | 0:33:15 | 0:33:18 | |
This is nice. | 0:33:18 | 0:33:20 | |
-Yeah, that's unusual, isn't it? -Mm. | 0:33:22 | 0:33:24 | |
Certainly is. Mid-20th century parasol | 0:33:24 | 0:33:27 | |
embellished with a carved figure? | 0:33:27 | 0:33:29 | |
Lovely. | 0:33:29 | 0:33:30 | |
-The sticks are all good. -There we are. | 0:33:30 | 0:33:32 | |
Mm. Priced at £35. | 0:33:32 | 0:33:35 | |
And once again, Catherine's not going to commit | 0:33:35 | 0:33:37 | |
until she's finished browsing. | 0:33:37 | 0:33:38 | |
Isn't this terribly bad luck to put that over your head? | 0:33:41 | 0:33:43 | |
Oh, yeah, thanks. God, I don't need any more bad luck! | 0:33:43 | 0:33:45 | |
I don't need any more. | 0:33:45 | 0:33:47 | |
Charles, do you want an umbrella? | 0:33:47 | 0:33:51 | |
Now, Charles has a huge £480. And this looks promising. | 0:33:51 | 0:33:56 | |
They're good signs, aren't they? | 0:33:56 | 0:33:59 | |
Wow! | 0:33:59 | 0:34:01 | |
It's a collection of six enamel advertising signs from the early | 0:34:01 | 0:34:05 | |
to the mid-20th century. | 0:34:05 | 0:34:07 | |
Ticket price on the lot is a whopping £600. | 0:34:07 | 0:34:10 | |
Dealer Jamie will try to contact the vendor to see if a deal | 0:34:10 | 0:34:14 | |
can be struck, while Charles browses on. | 0:34:14 | 0:34:17 | |
But elsewhere, Catherine has also nabbed Jamie's attention. | 0:34:17 | 0:34:20 | |
Tell me about the bubblegum machine. | 0:34:22 | 0:34:24 | |
It's very good. It takes 20p pieces. | 0:34:24 | 0:34:26 | |
-You can use it as a money box, if you want to. -Oh, you can use it? | 0:34:26 | 0:34:29 | |
Yeah, you can use it. | 0:34:29 | 0:34:30 | |
Oh, yes. It dates from the 1980s. Ticket price is £75. | 0:34:30 | 0:34:34 | |
Can we say 25 and I won't go down any more? | 0:34:34 | 0:34:37 | |
-OK. -Can we? -Yeah. -I quite like this. | 0:34:37 | 0:34:40 | |
-I'm going to shake your hand on that. -OK. -I'm going to say yes | 0:34:40 | 0:34:43 | |
-to £25. -OK. | 0:34:43 | 0:34:45 | |
Crikey! Catherine bags the sweetest of discounts. | 0:34:45 | 0:34:48 | |
But, despite the dancing, she's still got a heap of items set aside. | 0:34:50 | 0:34:55 | |
The mantle clock-cum-manicure set, | 0:34:55 | 0:34:57 | |
the railway signage and the mid-20th century parasol, | 0:34:57 | 0:35:00 | |
which Trevor has had some word on. | 0:35:00 | 0:35:03 | |
He's prepared to let you have that for £18. | 0:35:03 | 0:35:05 | |
-18, OK. -Mm. | 0:35:05 | 0:35:08 | |
I can do the clock for 15 for you, if that helps. | 0:35:08 | 0:35:10 | |
Right. So we've got 15 on the clock. | 0:35:10 | 0:35:12 | |
Yes. And the railway sign... | 0:35:12 | 0:35:14 | |
-We can do that for 15? -I'll do it for 15. | 0:35:14 | 0:35:18 | |
Yeah, I think that seems pretty good. | 0:35:18 | 0:35:20 | |
Deal done, then, at £48 for the parasol, sign and clock, | 0:35:20 | 0:35:24 | |
and Catherine also has the bubblegum machine she bought earlier as well. | 0:35:24 | 0:35:28 | |
So, she's got a whopping four items in the bag for a total of £73, | 0:35:28 | 0:35:32 | |
and she's finished here also. | 0:35:32 | 0:35:34 | |
HE WHISTLES Nice flowers. | 0:35:34 | 0:35:37 | |
And Charles... Blimey! This carved African mask | 0:35:41 | 0:35:44 | |
dates from around about 1900, and it's priced at £95. | 0:35:44 | 0:35:50 | |
-I'm going to read your mind... -Go for it. | 0:35:50 | 0:35:53 | |
-Go on, tell me. -No, you read my mind. What did I say? | 0:35:55 | 0:35:58 | |
-I think you might say about £30. -I had £30 in mind. | 0:35:59 | 0:36:03 | |
-No! -There we go. -Really? | 0:36:03 | 0:36:05 | |
-It was £30. -And that still gives you a profit? -Yes. | 0:36:05 | 0:36:08 | |
Lovely. That little "face-off" - ha-ha! | 0:36:08 | 0:36:11 | |
means Charles finally has his first item. | 0:36:11 | 0:36:14 | |
And now, the owner of all those signs is on the blower. | 0:36:14 | 0:36:17 | |
What might he do if Charles takes all six? | 0:36:17 | 0:36:20 | |
30 quid the lot? | 0:36:20 | 0:36:22 | |
£400? | 0:36:23 | 0:36:25 | |
-And that's the bottom? -Better than the top. | 0:36:25 | 0:36:29 | |
And after a final chat with Jamie... | 0:36:29 | 0:36:31 | |
Take care, bye-bye, bye! | 0:36:31 | 0:36:33 | |
So, if we both say together, the best price was...? | 0:36:34 | 0:36:37 | |
380. | 0:36:37 | 0:36:38 | |
It wasn't?! | 0:36:38 | 0:36:39 | |
A terrific offer, | 0:36:39 | 0:36:41 | |
but Charles still wants to keep his options open. | 0:36:41 | 0:36:44 | |
I feel duty bound, just to get myself around | 0:36:44 | 0:36:49 | |
the great landscape of Kent, | 0:36:49 | 0:36:51 | |
just to make sure I don't unearth anything else... | 0:36:51 | 0:36:54 | |
would you have an agreement to hold them? | 0:36:54 | 0:36:56 | |
-Yep. -And I will, either way, call you. -Yep. | 0:36:56 | 0:36:59 | |
Jamie, you are a gent. | 0:36:59 | 0:37:02 | |
Charles has those on hold, and the mask in the bag. | 0:37:02 | 0:37:06 | |
And he's heading off. | 0:37:06 | 0:37:07 | |
Meanwhile, Catherine has travelled on to the Kent town of Tenterden, | 0:37:10 | 0:37:15 | |
where she is strolling into her next shop. | 0:37:15 | 0:37:17 | |
Looks lovely in here. | 0:37:17 | 0:37:18 | |
Quite nice. So we've got a leather Georgian fire bucket. | 0:37:24 | 0:37:29 | |
Copper around the top. | 0:37:29 | 0:37:32 | |
That's quite nice, isn't it? | 0:37:32 | 0:37:35 | |
1820s, '30s? | 0:37:35 | 0:37:37 | |
It's in quite nice condition. People like these. | 0:37:37 | 0:37:40 | |
As well they might. | 0:37:40 | 0:37:42 | |
What can Pam and Terry do for you? | 0:37:42 | 0:37:44 | |
138 on your bucket. | 0:37:45 | 0:37:47 | |
We could do 110 | 0:37:47 | 0:37:49 | |
for you. It is an old Georgian one, | 0:37:49 | 0:37:52 | |
-it's at least 200 years old. -Yeah. | 0:37:52 | 0:37:55 | |
I do like it. The ones that tend to do very well | 0:37:55 | 0:37:59 | |
aren't so worn. Because this is quite worn. | 0:37:59 | 0:38:01 | |
It feels like it's almost... | 0:38:01 | 0:38:03 | |
-It still holds water. -Have you tested it? -We have. | 0:38:03 | 0:38:06 | |
But will this deal hold water? | 0:38:06 | 0:38:08 | |
Would that be your best on that? | 0:38:08 | 0:38:11 | |
I can do you £100. | 0:38:11 | 0:38:13 | |
-It's a lot of money, isn't it? -Do 90, then. | 0:38:13 | 0:38:16 | |
-And 90 is your best price? -Yeah. -Yeah? OK. | 0:38:16 | 0:38:18 | |
-We'll shake on it. -Thank you. | 0:38:18 | 0:38:20 | |
A gamble it is. | 0:38:20 | 0:38:22 | |
Catherine parts with the lion's share of her kitty | 0:38:22 | 0:38:26 | |
for a venerable bucket, | 0:38:26 | 0:38:27 | |
leaving her with just over £50 left to spend. | 0:38:27 | 0:38:31 | |
And after such a daring buy, I think a bit of rest is needed, | 0:38:31 | 0:38:34 | |
so nighty-night. | 0:38:34 | 0:38:36 | |
The morning sun finds them back in the MG, and raring to go. | 0:38:39 | 0:38:45 | |
You know, the sun has got his hat on today. | 0:38:45 | 0:38:47 | |
It's going to be a hip, hip, hip hooray. | 0:38:47 | 0:38:50 | |
And I can't wait. Yeah. | 0:38:50 | 0:38:51 | |
And neither can I, Charles. | 0:38:51 | 0:38:54 | |
They have arived in the village of Headcorn. | 0:38:54 | 0:38:58 | |
Catherine's dropping Charles off at his first shop. | 0:38:58 | 0:39:00 | |
Sweet little place. | 0:39:00 | 0:39:02 | |
Drive carefully. See you later. Good luck. | 0:39:02 | 0:39:04 | |
Bye. | 0:39:06 | 0:39:07 | |
With only £50 in his pocket, | 0:39:07 | 0:39:08 | |
Chsrles is meeting Shirley, owner of Allsorts. | 0:39:08 | 0:39:12 | |
Hi, Shirl. | 0:39:12 | 0:39:14 | |
-Shirley, good to see you. -And you. -It's nice to be here. | 0:39:14 | 0:39:16 | |
-Good. -I like your antique shop. I'll go for a wander. | 0:39:16 | 0:39:18 | |
-OK. -Thank you, Mrs... | 0:39:18 | 0:39:20 | |
-Just Shirley? -Just Shirley. -Just Shirley here in Kent. -Not Mrs. | 0:39:20 | 0:39:24 | |
I like your style. We're friends in Kent. That's great. | 0:39:24 | 0:39:27 | |
Now, that's a lot of crockery. | 0:39:30 | 0:39:32 | |
That's quite nice. | 0:39:32 | 0:39:34 | |
Isn't that pretty? Isn't that a beautiful shape? | 0:39:34 | 0:39:37 | |
It's so... So Art Deco. | 0:39:37 | 0:39:39 | |
So you. This part-dinner service was made by Gray's, | 0:39:39 | 0:39:43 | |
a Staffordshire pottery maker founded in 1907. | 0:39:43 | 0:39:46 | |
But this set dates from the early 20th century. | 0:39:46 | 0:39:50 | |
Look at that, the design. That's got the lid... | 0:39:50 | 0:39:53 | |
Open it up, | 0:39:55 | 0:39:56 | |
and this sort of set just makes you feel happy. | 0:39:56 | 0:40:00 | |
That ladle. Because the colours are so vibrant, | 0:40:00 | 0:40:03 | |
the sun is shining in Kent, and importantly, I like this. | 0:40:03 | 0:40:08 | |
Ticket price is £45. Oh. Shirley...! | 0:40:08 | 0:40:12 | |
Shirley! You're a lady who's full of joy. | 0:40:12 | 0:40:16 | |
What could be the best price on that? | 0:40:16 | 0:40:19 | |
I'll have to phone the dealer for you. | 0:40:19 | 0:40:20 | |
-But I'm sure we can do something. -What are you thinking? | 0:40:20 | 0:40:23 | |
-What are you thinking? -What am I thinking? | 0:40:23 | 0:40:25 | |
He's got 45... I don't know if he'd go as low as 30. | 0:40:25 | 0:40:28 | |
-That sounds good to me. -Does that all right? -Yeah. | 0:40:28 | 0:40:31 | |
Within a flash, Shirl the Pearl has the answer. | 0:40:31 | 0:40:35 | |
-I've spoken to the dealer. -Full of Art Deco promise. Hit me. | 0:40:35 | 0:40:38 | |
-Yes, you can have it for 30. -I'll take it. Thank you. -Great. | 0:40:38 | 0:40:42 | |
I'll take it. That's one down. Fantastic. I'm delighted, Shirley. | 0:40:42 | 0:40:44 | |
And that's another tidy little buy for Charles. | 0:40:44 | 0:40:47 | |
Thank you, Shirl. | 0:40:47 | 0:40:49 | |
Now, Catherine already has five items in the old bag, | 0:40:50 | 0:40:54 | |
so she's galloped straight back to the town of Maidstone. | 0:40:54 | 0:40:59 | |
Cantered, actually. Where she seems to be horsing around. | 0:40:59 | 0:41:02 | |
Ha! Where did you get that wonderful conveyance, ma'am? | 0:41:02 | 0:41:04 | |
MUSIC: Galloping Home by Denis King | 0:41:04 | 0:41:07 | |
So, from classic car | 0:41:07 | 0:41:10 | |
to my carriage. This is even more classic. | 0:41:10 | 0:41:12 | |
Eat your heart out, Charles Hanson. | 0:41:14 | 0:41:17 | |
Crikey. In quite the correct style, she is heading | 0:41:17 | 0:41:20 | |
-for the Tyrwhitt-Drake Museum of Carriages. -Thank you very much! | 0:41:20 | 0:41:25 | |
That was an amazing experience. | 0:41:25 | 0:41:27 | |
Thank you, thank you. | 0:41:27 | 0:41:28 | |
-You're welcome. -Thank you, Wilbur and Buster. | 0:41:28 | 0:41:30 | |
Well done, boys. | 0:41:30 | 0:41:32 | |
Here she's meeting Maidstone Museum's director Victoria Barlow. | 0:41:32 | 0:41:38 | |
-Hi, there. -Hi. -Victoria, very nice to meet you. | 0:41:38 | 0:41:40 | |
This place holds a collection of over 60 carriages. | 0:41:40 | 0:41:45 | |
It's a time capsule of the world | 0:41:45 | 0:41:47 | |
when horsepower was really the thing. | 0:41:47 | 0:41:50 | |
We owe its existence today to its founder and namesake. | 0:41:50 | 0:41:54 | |
Who's our friend here, then? | 0:41:55 | 0:41:57 | |
OK, so this is the reason that we're here, | 0:41:57 | 0:41:59 | |
this is Garrard Tyrwhitt-Drake. | 0:41:59 | 0:42:01 | |
He was born in the 1880s, so very much a late Victorian, | 0:42:01 | 0:42:05 | |
but he came from a local brewing family, so very wealthy. | 0:42:05 | 0:42:09 | |
The reason he's important for this museum was that | 0:42:09 | 0:42:12 | |
after the end of the Second World War | 0:42:12 | 0:42:14 | |
he began to see that carriages had had their day. | 0:42:14 | 0:42:18 | |
Motorised vehicles were coming in, | 0:42:18 | 0:42:19 | |
and he was quite aware of the fact that | 0:42:19 | 0:42:22 | |
a lot of the carriages that had been so popular and that he remembered so | 0:42:22 | 0:42:24 | |
fondly from his youth, were sitting in barns, rotting away, | 0:42:24 | 0:42:29 | |
and were never going to be used again, | 0:42:29 | 0:42:30 | |
and he wanted to save examples, | 0:42:30 | 0:42:33 | |
so that we would know what it was like. | 0:42:33 | 0:42:36 | |
The horse-drawn carriages he saved form the basis for the museum's | 0:42:36 | 0:42:41 | |
collection. They tell the story of coach and carriage evolution | 0:42:41 | 0:42:44 | |
down the ages - from the days | 0:42:44 | 0:42:46 | |
when carriage travel was only for the wealthy, | 0:42:46 | 0:42:49 | |
to the 19th century, when it opened up to ordinary people. | 0:42:49 | 0:42:52 | |
Well, this is quite an important carriage in the development of them. | 0:42:52 | 0:42:55 | |
This is a Clarence, also known as a growler, | 0:42:55 | 0:42:59 | |
because of the noise its wheels made on the floor. | 0:42:59 | 0:43:02 | |
This was one of the first carriages in the Victorian era, | 0:43:02 | 0:43:04 | |
when a normal middle-class family could buy a carriage | 0:43:04 | 0:43:08 | |
and take their family out in it. | 0:43:08 | 0:43:10 | |
This made carriage travel an option for the middle-class masses. | 0:43:12 | 0:43:15 | |
And they soon learned that they made perfect cabs for hire, | 0:43:15 | 0:43:21 | |
because you could get four people and some | 0:43:21 | 0:43:23 | |
luggage into the carriage, | 0:43:23 | 0:43:26 | |
so people started then renting them by the hour, | 0:43:26 | 0:43:29 | |
-and these became the first hackney carriages. -Oh, really? | 0:43:29 | 0:43:32 | |
So where we get the name hackney carriages from today, | 0:43:32 | 0:43:35 | |
for the London cabs? | 0:43:35 | 0:43:36 | |
The streets of Britain's cities teemed with carriages | 0:43:36 | 0:43:39 | |
in their Victorian heyday, | 0:43:39 | 0:43:41 | |
but it didn't take long until carriage design | 0:43:41 | 0:43:43 | |
evolved along some more daring lines. | 0:43:43 | 0:43:46 | |
Victoria, this particular coach | 0:43:48 | 0:43:50 | |
looks structurally very different from what we've seen downstairs. | 0:43:50 | 0:43:54 | |
What's happened here is we've had a shift | 0:43:54 | 0:43:56 | |
from having your driver upfront | 0:43:56 | 0:43:58 | |
driving you while you sit in comfort at the back. | 0:43:58 | 0:44:01 | |
This is actually an owner-driver vehicle, so you drive yourself. | 0:44:01 | 0:44:05 | |
It meant that it became very popular with young men who liked speed. | 0:44:05 | 0:44:10 | |
So this was, you know, the sort of sports car of its day. | 0:44:10 | 0:44:14 | |
You would get up, set off, possibly with a friend, | 0:44:14 | 0:44:18 | |
but essentially it was for the young, the daring, | 0:44:18 | 0:44:21 | |
the need for speed. | 0:44:21 | 0:44:23 | |
MUSIC: William Tell Overture by Rossini | 0:44:23 | 0:44:25 | |
Boy racers might have been a hazard even in the 19th century, | 0:44:25 | 0:44:28 | |
but Victoria also wants to show | 0:44:28 | 0:44:30 | |
Catherine another carriage that really typified the age. | 0:44:30 | 0:44:33 | |
Giddy up. | 0:44:33 | 0:44:35 | |
This is lovely and open, this one, isn't it? | 0:44:36 | 0:44:38 | |
It is. This is a Victoria. | 0:44:38 | 0:44:41 | |
-So this was named after... -The Queen, Queen Victoria, | 0:44:41 | 0:44:43 | |
who very much popularised carriages as a way of being seen by a crowd. | 0:44:43 | 0:44:49 | |
So a lot of the carriages we looked at downstairs | 0:44:49 | 0:44:51 | |
had doors and window blinds that you could pull, | 0:44:51 | 0:44:53 | |
so you could ride in privacy. | 0:44:53 | 0:44:54 | |
This carriage is all designed to show off. | 0:44:54 | 0:44:57 | |
-"Look at me." -Indeed. | 0:44:57 | 0:44:59 | |
So when you are going out to an event, | 0:44:59 | 0:45:01 | |
perhaps to the races or to a picnic, | 0:45:01 | 0:45:03 | |
and you've paid a fortune for your beautiful dress, | 0:45:03 | 0:45:06 | |
you want people to see it. | 0:45:06 | 0:45:07 | |
So you could fold the roof back down and the sides are cut away very low. | 0:45:07 | 0:45:12 | |
And obviously for the Queen, that was important, | 0:45:12 | 0:45:14 | |
so her subjects could see her. | 0:45:14 | 0:45:15 | |
As the 20th century dawned, | 0:45:18 | 0:45:19 | |
motorised transport started to usurp the carriage, | 0:45:19 | 0:45:22 | |
but these still have an elegance and romance all of their own. | 0:45:22 | 0:45:26 | |
Well, I have to say it's been wonderful. | 0:45:28 | 0:45:31 | |
Now my carriage awaits. And I have to head off. | 0:45:31 | 0:45:33 | |
-Thank you so much, Victoria, thank you. -Take care. -Bye-bye. | 0:45:33 | 0:45:37 | |
You could get too used to this, Catherine. | 0:45:38 | 0:45:40 | |
Right, we're off again. | 0:45:40 | 0:45:42 | |
Walk on, as they say. | 0:45:42 | 0:45:44 | |
Meanwhile, Charles has motored on to the town of Faversham... | 0:45:51 | 0:45:56 | |
..where he's sauntering off into his next shop. | 0:45:56 | 0:45:59 | |
Andy's in charge here today. | 0:45:59 | 0:46:01 | |
True to form, Charles doesn't take long to spot a possible. | 0:46:01 | 0:46:05 | |
It's this revolving cabinet here. | 0:46:05 | 0:46:08 | |
Here they are. | 0:46:08 | 0:46:10 | |
-Aren't they wonderful? -They're lovely. | 0:46:10 | 0:46:12 | |
-Are they yours? -They are, sir. | 0:46:12 | 0:46:14 | |
-They could be yours. -Aren't they gorgeous? | 0:46:14 | 0:46:17 | |
They are a pair of decorative cut steel shoe buckles, | 0:46:17 | 0:46:22 | |
which Charles thinks may date from as early as the 18th century, | 0:46:22 | 0:46:25 | |
and I think he's right. | 0:46:25 | 0:46:27 | |
So, you'd put them on like that, wouldn't you, in the day? | 0:46:27 | 0:46:30 | |
That's it, yes. | 0:46:30 | 0:46:32 | |
So... Maybe a Georgian gent, and don't my shoes look better now? | 0:46:32 | 0:46:36 | |
-They do, they look beautiful. -They're just stunning. | 0:46:36 | 0:46:40 | |
Ticket price on these handsome accoutrements is £150. | 0:46:40 | 0:46:44 | |
But what might be Andy's bottom line? | 0:46:44 | 0:46:48 | |
To be honest, I'd like about 80. | 0:46:48 | 0:46:50 | |
-Could you go a bit less, do you think? -70. | 0:46:50 | 0:46:52 | |
You're an odd and I'm an even. | 0:46:52 | 0:46:54 | |
-Right. -Odd and even. | 0:46:54 | 0:46:56 | |
And I wonder if you could be an even-steven and meet me at £60. | 0:46:56 | 0:46:59 | |
-Go on, then. -Are you sure? -Yeah. -Does that leave you...? | 0:47:01 | 0:47:04 | |
-It still gives me a profit, yeah, absolutely. -And that's a deal. | 0:47:04 | 0:47:08 | |
-Done. Sold. Thanks a lot. -Thank you. -Appreciate it. | 0:47:08 | 0:47:11 | |
That's one more item bagged, but Charles is still on the hunt. | 0:47:11 | 0:47:14 | |
Watch out, he is in a cabinet. | 0:47:16 | 0:47:19 | |
Quite like this vase down here. | 0:47:19 | 0:47:20 | |
Hello, vase. | 0:47:20 | 0:47:22 | |
"Hello, Charles!" | 0:47:22 | 0:47:25 | |
And that landscape is quite unusual, and the gilding is good. | 0:47:25 | 0:47:28 | |
Charles is gently tapping the vase on his teeth | 0:47:28 | 0:47:32 | |
to check for the sound of any repairs. | 0:47:32 | 0:47:35 | |
Sounds OK - and you do have to have your own teeth. | 0:47:35 | 0:47:37 | |
It's a piece of Carlton Ware, probably dating from the 1920s. | 0:47:37 | 0:47:40 | |
-Andy? -Yes? -Excuse me, come hither. | 0:47:40 | 0:47:43 | |
-Over here. I'm waiting. -I'm admiring your vase. | 0:47:43 | 0:47:45 | |
-Thank you. -It says £15. | 0:47:45 | 0:47:48 | |
I like it. Best price? | 0:47:48 | 0:47:49 | |
-13? -I was hoping you might say it could be Hanson's den - number...? | 0:47:49 | 0:47:53 | |
-Ten. -12... | 0:47:53 | 0:47:56 | |
I would happily take this vase for a tenner, because I think for £10 | 0:47:56 | 0:47:59 | |
-it's decorative. Put it there. -Yeah, go on. -£10? | 0:47:59 | 0:48:02 | |
-Sold! -Good man. -Are you happy with that? -Yeah, fine. | 0:48:02 | 0:48:05 | |
That's yet another deal sealed. Good man. | 0:48:05 | 0:48:09 | |
Now, Charles is in a bit of a pickle. | 0:48:12 | 0:48:14 | |
Remember the set of six metal signs he reserved yesterday? | 0:48:14 | 0:48:18 | |
The last quote was £380. | 0:48:18 | 0:48:20 | |
The problem is, Charles no longer has that much cash. | 0:48:20 | 0:48:23 | |
Oh,dear, what's to be done? | 0:48:23 | 0:48:27 | |
But I've still got £348 left. | 0:48:27 | 0:48:30 | |
Time to give the dealer, Jamie, a tinkle, I think. | 0:48:30 | 0:48:33 | |
Let's go for it. | 0:48:33 | 0:48:36 | |
Thanks ever so much, I'll buy them. Thanks a lot. Cheers. All the best. | 0:48:36 | 0:48:40 | |
Bye-bye, cheers, bye-bye. Bye. | 0:48:40 | 0:48:42 | |
Well, from having a full kitty, | 0:48:42 | 0:48:44 | |
I'm now down to nothing. I've bought the signs for £348. | 0:48:44 | 0:48:49 | |
I'm banking on a whole load of rusty old tin plate signs, | 0:48:49 | 0:48:54 | |
which could be dangerous. But he who dares wins, as they say. | 0:48:54 | 0:48:58 | |
Who says? The SAS, and Del Boy! That's who. | 0:48:58 | 0:49:01 | |
And so, that concludes the shopping. | 0:49:01 | 0:49:04 | |
Charles has bagged the African tribal mask, the Carlton Ware vase, | 0:49:04 | 0:49:08 | |
the part-dinner service and the metal shoe buckles, | 0:49:08 | 0:49:12 | |
as well as the set of six signs, | 0:49:12 | 0:49:14 | |
which he plans to sell in three separate lots. | 0:49:14 | 0:49:16 | |
He spent £478 exactly. | 0:49:16 | 0:49:18 | |
While Catherine has the Georgian fire bucket, | 0:49:18 | 0:49:21 | |
the manicure set-cum-clock, | 0:49:21 | 0:49:23 | |
the vintage railway sign, the bubblegum machine - | 0:49:23 | 0:49:28 | |
freshly filled with sweeties that cost her a fiver - and the parasol. | 0:49:28 | 0:49:32 | |
She spent £168 exactly. | 0:49:32 | 0:49:36 | |
But what on earth do they make of each other's lots? | 0:49:36 | 0:49:38 | |
Not much, I fancy. | 0:49:38 | 0:49:40 | |
I love her bubblegum dispenser. | 0:49:40 | 0:49:43 | |
For £25, it's cheap. | 0:49:43 | 0:49:45 | |
It might go pop at auction, and it might blow up the room | 0:49:45 | 0:49:48 | |
and make a fortune. I hope not. | 0:49:48 | 0:49:50 | |
Charles loves those little Georgian shoe buckles, and they are lovely, | 0:49:50 | 0:49:55 | |
especially being in their fitted case, but, | 0:49:55 | 0:49:58 | |
do people really want those? | 0:49:58 | 0:50:00 | |
Do people really buy those? Who knows? Time will tell. | 0:50:00 | 0:50:04 | |
On this leg, they began their buying in Chart Sutton, Kent, | 0:50:06 | 0:50:10 | |
and are now heading for some selling in Bourne End in Buckinghamshire. | 0:50:10 | 0:50:14 | |
Could it be the END for you in Bourne END? | 0:50:14 | 0:50:17 | |
I might be born again in the end! | 0:50:17 | 0:50:19 | |
DEEP VOICE: Now... | 0:50:19 | 0:50:21 | |
..this is not the end, it is not even the beginning of the end. | 0:50:21 | 0:50:26 | |
Now, that's a quote. Time to get inside. | 0:50:26 | 0:50:28 | |
Our auctioneer today is Simon Brown. | 0:50:31 | 0:50:33 | |
Before the off, what does he make of our lots? | 0:50:33 | 0:50:35 | |
The late 1970s, early '80s bubblegum machine, it's quirky. | 0:50:37 | 0:50:42 | |
The pair of Georgian shoe buckles, very collectable, | 0:50:42 | 0:50:46 | |
quite sought after and quite rare, | 0:50:46 | 0:50:48 | |
so I'm looking forward to selling those. | 0:50:48 | 0:50:50 | |
The sale's about to begin. Starting positions, please. | 0:50:50 | 0:50:55 | |
First up, it's Catherine's parasol. | 0:50:57 | 0:50:59 | |
-20 I'm bid. -Well done. | 0:50:59 | 0:51:01 | |
20 in the room. | 0:51:01 | 0:51:02 | |
-You built it up. -It's moving. Hold tight. | 0:51:02 | 0:51:04 | |
-Online, he's got. -25 now. | 0:51:04 | 0:51:06 | |
Really disappointing. | 0:51:06 | 0:51:09 | |
It's a profit, if not a huge one. | 0:51:09 | 0:51:13 | |
You made 700 pence. | 0:51:13 | 0:51:16 | |
Nothing to be sniffed at. | 0:51:16 | 0:51:18 | |
Now, it's Charles's African mask. | 0:51:18 | 0:51:21 | |
40 I'm bid. Got you. 40. Yours at 40. | 0:51:21 | 0:51:24 | |
42. 45. 47. 50. 55. | 0:51:24 | 0:51:27 | |
60. 65? | 0:51:27 | 0:51:29 | |
That's good. £20 profit. | 0:51:29 | 0:51:33 | |
I thought you'd make more than that. | 0:51:33 | 0:51:34 | |
Selling at 60. Are we all done? | 0:51:34 | 0:51:36 | |
On my right, thank you. | 0:51:36 | 0:51:38 | |
That's a nice winner to start him off. | 0:51:38 | 0:51:40 | |
Had a nice colour, had a nice glow, like you. | 0:51:40 | 0:51:43 | |
-Colour? -Nice colour and glow. | 0:51:43 | 0:51:45 | |
Didn't have colour, it was wooden. | 0:51:45 | 0:51:47 | |
The bubblegum machine filled with sweets is next | 0:51:47 | 0:51:49 | |
to take a pop at some profit. | 0:51:49 | 0:51:52 | |
Nice stylish little piece there. | 0:51:52 | 0:51:54 | |
-With sweets. -Who'll start me at £30, please, for this lot? | 0:51:54 | 0:51:57 | |
-30 I'm bid. -Well done. -Yours at 30. | 0:51:57 | 0:52:00 | |
Have we all done at 30? 32. 35. 37. 40. | 0:52:00 | 0:52:03 | |
-42. -Good. -45. | 0:52:03 | 0:52:05 | |
-Well done. -Shhh! -55. | 0:52:05 | 0:52:07 | |
60. 65. 70? | 0:52:07 | 0:52:09 | |
-65 in the room. -Yes! -Selling at 65. | 0:52:09 | 0:52:12 | |
Are you all done at 65, | 0:52:12 | 0:52:14 | |
we all done? | 0:52:14 | 0:52:15 | |
-Ohh... -That blew a big bubble. | 0:52:15 | 0:52:18 | |
Ooh-hoo! And it's another winner for her. | 0:52:18 | 0:52:21 | |
-It had a style. -Nah-nah, nah-nah-nah! | 0:52:21 | 0:52:23 | |
I can be childish. | 0:52:23 | 0:52:25 | |
You certainly can. | 0:52:25 | 0:52:27 | |
Next up is Charles's little Carlton Ware vase. | 0:52:27 | 0:52:30 | |
-Rouge Royale. -Ten to start. | 0:52:30 | 0:52:32 | |
-£10, anybody interested? -Could be in trouble. | 0:52:32 | 0:52:34 | |
Ten for the Carlton Ware vase. | 0:52:34 | 0:52:36 | |
-Oh, I say. -Go on, sell it for a fiver. | 0:52:36 | 0:52:38 | |
Go on, it would be hilarious. | 0:52:38 | 0:52:39 | |
-Fiver? -£5, anybody? | 0:52:39 | 0:52:41 | |
-That's not me bidding. I'm not bidding. -Thank you very much. | 0:52:41 | 0:52:44 | |
£5. We are struggling. | 0:52:44 | 0:52:47 | |
£5 now. | 0:52:47 | 0:52:48 | |
-Hello! -Are we all done at £5? | 0:52:48 | 0:52:51 | |
Selling at five. Just behind, now. | 0:52:51 | 0:52:53 | |
-I told you I was horrible. -SHE LAUGHS | 0:52:53 | 0:52:56 | |
So the rivalry's really ramping up. | 0:52:58 | 0:53:01 | |
Somebody has bought a wonderful bargain, | 0:53:01 | 0:53:03 | |
and I commend them for very good taste. | 0:53:03 | 0:53:06 | |
One more chance for Catherine now, | 0:53:08 | 0:53:10 | |
as her mantle clock, concealing a manicure set, meets the room. | 0:53:10 | 0:53:14 | |
20 I'm bid. Yours at 20, | 0:53:15 | 0:53:18 | |
-are we all done? -Good. Profit. | 0:53:18 | 0:53:19 | |
-Oh, shush. -25, 27... | 0:53:19 | 0:53:21 | |
30. £27 now. | 0:53:21 | 0:53:24 | |
It's good. Doubling up. | 0:53:24 | 0:53:26 | |
-30. 32. -Double... -Charles, will you be quiet? | 0:53:26 | 0:53:29 | |
-You've doubled up. -Selling at 30, | 0:53:29 | 0:53:30 | |
yours at 30. Are we all done at 30? | 0:53:30 | 0:53:32 | |
-I've not finished yet. -30, are we all done now? | 0:53:32 | 0:53:34 | |
Did you buy it? | 0:53:36 | 0:53:37 | |
-Did you buy it? -Me? No, I didn't buy it. | 0:53:37 | 0:53:39 | |
The guy behind you. | 0:53:39 | 0:53:41 | |
Thanks to the chap behind, she's nailed a winner there. | 0:53:41 | 0:53:44 | |
Next, Charles's six metal advertising signs, | 0:53:46 | 0:53:48 | |
which he's split into three separate lots, each costing him £116. | 0:53:48 | 0:53:53 | |
Here's the first. | 0:53:53 | 0:53:54 | |
We all done at 75 in the room now? | 0:53:54 | 0:53:57 | |
And now, the next lot of signs. | 0:53:59 | 0:54:01 | |
Selling at 130 now. | 0:54:01 | 0:54:04 | |
And the final sign is... | 0:54:04 | 0:54:06 | |
95 now on the net. Selling at 95. | 0:54:06 | 0:54:09 | |
-One more. -You don't need any more money. I do. | 0:54:09 | 0:54:12 | |
Are we all done? | 0:54:12 | 0:54:14 | |
Altogether, those three lots LOST - ha! - £48. Bad luck, Charles. | 0:54:14 | 0:54:20 | |
I wish you'd have put them all together in one lot | 0:54:20 | 0:54:23 | |
and then you would have had even more losses. | 0:54:23 | 0:54:25 | |
And that would have been good for me. | 0:54:25 | 0:54:27 | |
It's the battle of the signage now | 0:54:27 | 0:54:29 | |
as Catherine's railway specimen is up. | 0:54:29 | 0:54:32 | |
£10 I'm bid. Got you at ten. 12. 14. 16. | 0:54:33 | 0:54:36 | |
-18. 16. 16 seated. -Doubled up... | 0:54:36 | 0:54:39 | |
-Selling at 16. All done. -It's good. | 0:54:39 | 0:54:41 | |
-No, it's not. -16. 18. 20. | 0:54:41 | 0:54:43 | |
22. 25. 27. | 0:54:43 | 0:54:45 | |
30. 32. 35? | 0:54:45 | 0:54:48 | |
-It's amazing. -Ooh. -£32 now. | 0:54:48 | 0:54:51 | |
-I thought we were on a roll, then. -You've flown. | 0:54:51 | 0:54:53 | |
-You all done at 32? On my right. -Internet might have come in on that. | 0:54:53 | 0:54:56 | |
-That's puffed and huffed like a train. -That was my steam train. | 0:54:56 | 0:54:58 | |
Like a loco, and you really moved, baby. | 0:54:58 | 0:55:01 | |
That did, indeed, puff its way to a nice little profit. | 0:55:01 | 0:55:05 | |
-I'm building up slowly. -You are. -As I say, I'm getting there. | 0:55:05 | 0:55:08 | |
Now, Charles's Art Deco-style dinner service. | 0:55:08 | 0:55:12 | |
-80, then, to start. -Go on. -Anybody interested? | 0:55:12 | 0:55:15 | |
60, then, to start. 60. | 0:55:15 | 0:55:18 | |
-Nobody interested? -Oh, no. -60. | 0:55:18 | 0:55:20 | |
We're coming down. 50? Anybody interested? | 0:55:20 | 0:55:22 | |
40. | 0:55:22 | 0:55:23 | |
30? | 0:55:23 | 0:55:25 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:55:25 | 0:55:27 | |
-30? -Ten! -20? | 0:55:27 | 0:55:29 | |
It's a full room. 20. | 0:55:29 | 0:55:31 | |
Someone feels sorry for you. | 0:55:31 | 0:55:33 | |
20, I've got you at 20. | 0:55:33 | 0:55:34 | |
Don't worry, Charles! | 0:55:34 | 0:55:36 | |
Don't worry. Don't worry. | 0:55:36 | 0:55:38 | |
-It's a disaster. -Hammer down! | 0:55:38 | 0:55:40 | |
-At 20... -Gavel down! | 0:55:40 | 0:55:42 | |
-Shove it down. -At £20... | 0:55:42 | 0:55:43 | |
-Help! -At £20 on the back wall... | 0:55:43 | 0:55:45 | |
-Shut up! -At £20 now... -He doesn't need any help! | 0:55:45 | 0:55:48 | |
Selling at 20, are we all done? | 0:55:48 | 0:55:50 | |
-Yay! -SHE LAUGHS | 0:55:50 | 0:55:51 | |
No need to gloat, Catherine, though that was an unlucky loss. | 0:55:53 | 0:55:56 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:55:56 | 0:55:58 | |
The final lot now for Catherine. | 0:56:00 | 0:56:02 | |
Her leather fire bucket might just ignite some interest. | 0:56:02 | 0:56:05 | |
-Pretty one... -It is pretty. -Pretty? | 0:56:07 | 0:56:10 | |
£50, please, for this lot. | 0:56:10 | 0:56:11 | |
50. 40, then, to start. | 0:56:11 | 0:56:13 | |
Good bucket there at 40. 40 I'm bid. | 0:56:13 | 0:56:15 | |
-Come on! -40, yours at 40. 42 now... | 0:56:15 | 0:56:17 | |
Yours at 42. 45 - with me at 45... | 0:56:17 | 0:56:21 | |
-Oh, I really need... -Are you all done at 45? | 0:56:21 | 0:56:23 | |
With me at 45. We all done now? | 0:56:23 | 0:56:25 | |
Ooh-hoo! That went up in smoke. | 0:56:25 | 0:56:29 | |
But importantly, Catherine, you had a passion for it. | 0:56:29 | 0:56:32 | |
I don't know if I did, actually. | 0:56:32 | 0:56:34 | |
Well, you don't any more. | 0:56:34 | 0:56:37 | |
Our very last lot now, Charles's Georgian cut steel shoe buckles. | 0:56:37 | 0:56:41 | |
Start me at £100, please, for this lot. | 0:56:41 | 0:56:44 | |
100 I'm bid. Got you. 100. | 0:56:44 | 0:56:46 | |
110. 120. 130... | 0:56:46 | 0:56:48 | |
