0:00:02 > 0:00:03It's the nation's favourite antiques experts.
0:00:03 > 0:00:06- With £200 each... - I want something shiny.
0:00:06 > 0:00:10..a classic car and a goal - to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13- I like a rummage! - I can't resist it.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16The aim, to make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19Why do I always do this to myself?
0:00:19 > 0:00:22- There'll be worthy winners...- Give us a kiss.- ..and valiant losers.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Come on - stick 'em up.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26- So, will it be the high road to glory...- Onwards and upwards!
0:00:26 > 0:00:28..or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Take me home!
0:00:30 > 0:00:31This is Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34Yeah!
0:00:36 > 0:00:39# It's a new dawn, it's a new day
0:00:39 > 0:00:43# It's a new life for me
0:00:45 > 0:00:47# And I'm feeling good. #
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Today we begin a brand-new adventure in the south of England with
0:00:50 > 0:00:52les auctioneers extraordinaires,
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Catherine Southon and Charles Hanson.
0:00:55 > 0:01:00How exciting. They make a nice couple, don't they?
0:01:00 > 0:01:01I'm a northern guy,
0:01:01 > 0:01:04and I've come very far south to take on a southern lass.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07That's it. Southon in southern.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10You know what they say - there can be a big North-South divide
0:01:10 > 0:01:13and I'm feeling it, but not that much.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15There is a big north and south divide here.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17- Get out of here. - We'll never have a divide.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19- We're going to have a fun challenge. - We're going to have fun.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Right. Road Trip regular Charles is a smooth talker
0:01:23 > 0:01:26who knows his stuff when it comes to sniffing out antiques.
0:01:27 > 0:01:28Isn't it beautiful?
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Oh, look at this little lamb.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32- I know.- Oh, look.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34- Baaa!- Hello, lambs.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Hello, sheep. Here is the Derby Ram.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39I am a Derby Ram, you know.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41I do enjoy lamb to eat.
0:01:41 > 0:01:42How can you say that?
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Well, I do. Shall we put one in the back?
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- How can you possibly say that? - There's one dead over there.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48Oh, Charles.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51I enjoy cooking lamb.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55His rival on this journey, another Road Trip favourite, Catherine,
0:01:55 > 0:01:58is the queen of brokering a good deal.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00How do you play the Road Trip game?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- What is your game? - I don't have a game.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04I don't have a strategy.
0:02:04 > 0:02:05If I like it, I buy...
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- What have you done? - My seat has gone back.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Sorry. Sorry, Catherine.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12I'm just getting into the Road Trip week, OK?
0:02:12 > 0:02:13Let me just lie back,
0:02:14 > 0:02:17think of England and just think about the dream.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21Oh, Charles. Starting this Road Trip with £200 each,
0:02:21 > 0:02:27our experts will be zipping around in this snazzy 1981 MGB GT.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30We don't have a great reputation
0:02:30 > 0:02:32for driving particularly well, do we?
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Do you think we're going to come out of this alive?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38I do hope so.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40On this epic Road Trip,
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Catherine and Charles will start in the south of England before making
0:02:43 > 0:02:46their way north, meandering around the West Midlands
0:02:46 > 0:02:48and then travelling through the Peak District.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52They will finish up with a final auction in Congleton in Cheshire.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57This leg will kick off in Arundel, West Sussex,
0:02:57 > 0:03:01and end in Paddock Wood, Kent, for an auction. Nice.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Charles, it is getting really hot in here.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05You think this is right?
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Um, do you mean the car or us?
0:03:08 > 0:03:09- What?- Sorry.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Charles Hanson!
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Yeah. This morning, our Charles will shop first.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17Look out, Arundel.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Isn't that charming?
0:03:19 > 0:03:21- Have a great day.- Have fun.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23I will have fun. The sun is shining.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Have fun in the sun.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27- Can you get out?- Thank you.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28Bye.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33- Good morning.- Good morning.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35- How are you?- I'm very well, thank you, Charles.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37- Charles Hanson.- Nice to meet you. - What a gorgeous town.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39You are right there.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42David's shop specialises in militaria,
0:03:42 > 0:03:45but there are plenty of other antiques on offer here.
0:03:45 > 0:03:46Right, let's go.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Let's go, Charles.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Stop hopping about.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Have you been married a few years, David?
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Have I been married a few years?
0:03:54 > 0:03:58I have indeed. I thought you said have I been mad for a few years?
0:03:59 > 0:04:00Ha! So did I.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04And standing by, David's good lady wife Amy has something she'd like to
0:04:04 > 0:04:06show Charles, and she's a good egg.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Hello. Is that ostrich egg? Of course.
0:04:08 > 0:04:09It's a cigarette stand, isn't it?
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Dispenser. I would have thought...
0:04:11 > 0:04:12What is it - 1930s?
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Yes, it's so exotic,
0:04:14 > 0:04:16it's so Jazz Age.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19It's so, I suppose, stylish.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23So really because this obviously is a faux shell.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25It's not a real shell, is it?
0:04:25 > 0:04:27It's just made to imitate some type of ostrich egg.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30So a really stylish object, Amy.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32How much is it?
0:04:32 > 0:04:34- £50. - How much?- £50.- £15?- 50!
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Sorry. Five-zero.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39You're happy. No problem. 20.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41- How much?- 20.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44- 20?- Yeah.- Oh, that's not bad.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48I like the style.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51One to consider.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54All right, boys, OK?
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Stay with me, OK? Stay with me.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59So, while Charles's browsing continues outside,
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Catherine has made her way to Storrington
0:05:01 > 0:05:03and her first shop of the day.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05- Hello.- Hello.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07And you might be?
0:05:07 > 0:05:08- Ian.- Hello, Ian, I'm Catherine.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Welcome to Stable Antiques.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15With 35 dealers and wares set out over two floors,
0:05:15 > 0:05:17there's plenty to peruse.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21I don't think you'd find my name on there.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24I wasn't the best behaved girl at school.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Crikey. Really?
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Right, what have you found?
0:05:29 > 0:05:33Fans, I have actually done OK with some fans recently.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36This one in particular, though, this is mother-of-pearl,
0:05:36 > 0:05:39so the guard sticks, the outer sticks,
0:05:39 > 0:05:42are mother-of-pearl. The actual fan itself is usually silk.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45It does say on it, AF, so "as found",
0:05:45 > 0:05:47so that means there is obviously something wrong with it.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Well, there's only one way to find out, girl.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52I think you will find it's in a little bit of a poorly state.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- Oh, gosh, it is, isn't it? - Yeah.
0:05:55 > 0:06:01OK. Right. You don't have any more, by any chance, do you?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Anywhere else, dotted?
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Well, actually, I have. I've got two more which I haven't priced up yet.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08I haven't put out for sale.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Lovely. This is getting exciting.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12It is indeed.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Right, let's see those fans.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16I used to have a few of those.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17That's actually the bad thing.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21It is when the outer guard sticks get broken.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- Yes.- We've got one broken one, another broken one.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26I think you'll like this one.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29I'm going to put that one down.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Well, the problem that we have is that we have
0:06:32 > 0:06:36three fans in very poor condition.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40These two you haven't put prices on.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43- No.- I mean, he's put £12 on that, your friend, Simon.- Yes.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47I mean, I would probably offer eight, if that is acceptable to him.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- Eight for this one alone?- Yeah.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52I think I can do it for ten.
0:06:52 > 0:06:57Oh, OK. And then I would probably say ten for each of those.
0:06:57 > 0:07:02I think this one is worth a little bit more. 25 for the two.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- So 35...- Yes.- Couldn't come to 30?
0:07:05 > 0:07:09Shall we see what else you might buy?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Well, I'm quite interested in your little puppy outside.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- Ah.- How much is that doggie in the window?
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Well, actually on the path.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- He's lovely.- He's actually...
0:07:20 > 0:07:21although he is a puppy, he is about the same age
0:07:21 > 0:07:23as the larger full-sized Great Dane.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Is he not very old?
0:07:25 > 0:07:28He's probably about ten years old.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30What sort of price could he be?
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- He could be about 30-ish? - I would say 40.
0:07:33 > 0:07:38If we could say 30 on the fans and 38 on him, we've got a deal.
0:07:38 > 0:07:44You don't think we could do 32 on the fans and 38 on him?
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Oh, I'm not going to argue over two pounds.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- Very good.- I'm not going to argue over two pounds.- Thank you.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55It's been lovely. £32. £38. What are we going to call him?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57- Lucky.- Absolutely.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Lucky, that's what we'll call him.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Lucky, you are coming home with me.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Well, let's hope he lives up to his name.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09So that is the trio of fans and Lucky the dog bought for £70.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Good stuff. Woof.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15Meanwhile, back in Arundel,
0:08:15 > 0:08:17it looks like a Minton bowl has caught Charles's eye.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Just look at that gorgeous blue.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23The reason that I like this is this, what we call...
0:08:23 > 0:08:25we call this blue Blue Celeste.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29What I love is this continuous band of sailing vessels
0:08:29 > 0:08:34against this really well-illuminated skyline.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36- Art Deco, 1930.- Oh, right. - HE TAPS THE BOWL
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- That ring as well. - It has a nice ring to it.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Rings a bell, doesn't it?
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Is that a chip?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Yeah, it is.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52Yeah. Surely that will knock some money off
0:08:52 > 0:08:55the £120 ticket price, then?
0:08:55 > 0:09:00To me in a saleroom, I'd want to probably pay you about £50.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02- Is that too little?- I think that's too low, I'm afraid.
0:09:02 > 0:09:07I think 65 would be well below what we'd hope for.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09- Really?- Yes.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Would you meet me at £60?
0:09:11 > 0:09:12Let's do it at £60.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Amy, you are happy at 60?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16- Yeah.- I think we're all good at 60. - David, you're happy?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18So I can buy the attractive bowl,
0:09:18 > 0:09:21my Road Trip now is off and running,
0:09:21 > 0:09:23quite literally sailing.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25You slightly lost me there, Charles.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Anyway, that's your first lot bought -
0:09:28 > 0:09:30what else is here of interest?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32A little rootwood carving of an elder.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Probably Japanese.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36And this would date to around 1880.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38He has got a split.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41The feet are not particularly good,
0:09:41 > 0:09:44but the detail in there is very, very nice indeed.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Nice patination. David, how much is he?
0:09:47 > 0:09:48- 35.- Yeah, he's nice.
0:09:48 > 0:09:49And the best on him would be?
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Make an offer.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53- Make an offer?- Yes.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- £10.- All right.- Is that a sale?
0:09:55 > 0:09:56It's a £10 sale. Well done.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59- I'll take him.- Thank you very much indeed.- I'll take him.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Cor, he is on a roll, isn't he?
0:10:01 > 0:10:04That's another lot bought and he is showing no sign of stopping.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06What is this ink stand here, David?
0:10:06 > 0:10:11- Well, I believe it to be Black Forest.- OK. So it is German.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12It is all very typical of circa 1900.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14I think it is quite late.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17It is about 1900, 1910.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- But it is in remarkably good condition.- Yep.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24Black Forest carvings became a symbol of luxury and wealth
0:10:24 > 0:10:27associated with travel, and very popular today.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29What would be your very best price, Amy?
0:10:29 > 0:10:33You can have...150.
0:10:33 > 0:10:39I like it, but my bid would be £70.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44- £80.- Oh, don't say that. How much?
0:10:44 > 0:10:46- £80.- 80 and you can have it.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49And we wish you well with it.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53£75, you've got a deal.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55- OK.- OK, 75 is good.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- I'll take it. Go on, thank you very much.- Thank you so much.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Another deal done and Charles is still considering
0:11:00 > 0:11:03the cigarette dispenser, which could be a risky punt,
0:11:03 > 0:11:04as tobacco-related collectables
0:11:04 > 0:11:06aren't particularly popular these days.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08HE COUGHS
0:11:08 > 0:11:12This is quite novel because it's Art Deco and your best on this is 20?
0:11:12 > 0:11:17- Yes.- This lovely sort of simulated ostrich egg in the jazz Art Deco style,
0:11:17 > 0:11:21it's got great style, I will buy this for £20.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22Thank you, Amy.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25It seems like a no-brainer to me, and he is done!
0:11:25 > 0:11:30That's a huge £165 spent on four lots in his very first shop.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Bye-bye, see you.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Crikey. Slightly concerned -
0:11:35 > 0:11:37I'm just about spent up.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43While Charles has been busy,
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Catherine has made her way down the road to Ford.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49Back in the 19th century,
0:11:49 > 0:11:54cholera was a serious threat to towns and cities across the country.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Originating in India, the disease swept across the Empire,
0:11:58 > 0:12:00arriving on UK shores in 1831.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Causing panic,
0:12:03 > 0:12:07there was no practical proposal to stem its spread until an engineer
0:12:07 > 0:12:10in nearby Littlehampton offered a way forward.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Catherine is meeting managing director at Dando Drilling,
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Martin Fitch-Roy, to find out more.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Hi there. Catherine. Nice to meet you.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Hello, Catherine, shall we go inside?
0:12:21 > 0:12:22Please. Show me the way.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25In the summer of 1867,
0:12:25 > 0:12:28an outbreak of cholera across the south coast
0:12:28 > 0:12:31left 18 people dead in Littlehampton.
0:12:31 > 0:12:32Dear, oh, dear.
0:12:33 > 0:12:38So, taking it right back, what was the number one cause of cholera?
0:12:38 > 0:12:42It was proven that a contamination of the water supply by human sewage,
0:12:42 > 0:12:44either leaking pipes...
0:12:44 > 0:12:47They had a theory that they could put the pipes into the river,
0:12:47 > 0:12:49which only makes things worse.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51But in our case in Littlehampton,
0:12:51 > 0:12:53they were drinking water from the ground, ground water,
0:12:53 > 0:12:58but also digging pit latrines in the proximity of the water supply.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02So they were contaminating their water before they even used it.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08In Littlehampton, a leading physician at that time,
0:13:08 > 0:13:09Dr John Candy,
0:13:09 > 0:13:13believed that by cleaning the water supply, cholera could be overcome.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Dr Candy had an associate, Albion Ockenden,
0:13:17 > 0:13:19who was one of the founders of this company.
0:13:19 > 0:13:24Who had an idea that he could make a machine and use technology to drill
0:13:24 > 0:13:26further down into the geology,
0:13:26 > 0:13:29below the depths of the wells they were using at the moment,
0:13:29 > 0:13:33to get into clean water, thus presenting a clean water supply.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36He would have used a very simple gantry machine
0:13:36 > 0:13:38with just a rope and a winch,
0:13:38 > 0:13:42but the secret was to find steel tubes that could be driven into
0:13:42 > 0:13:47the ground and he used tubes from the boiler of an old steam tug
0:13:47 > 0:13:51called the Newcastle, which happened to be in the harbour being renovated
0:13:51 > 0:13:53at the time, and using those tubes,
0:13:53 > 0:13:57he invented a method of drilling down into the geology
0:13:57 > 0:13:59to acquire clean water.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04Ockenden hit the jackpot with his tube-well invention
0:14:04 > 0:14:06and quickly patented it.
0:14:06 > 0:14:07With his partner, Reginald Duke,
0:14:07 > 0:14:10they soon began to fix water supplies
0:14:10 > 0:14:12in nearby towns and eventually across the British Empire,
0:14:12 > 0:14:15saving millions of lives.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17After the 1860s outbreak,
0:14:17 > 0:14:21cholera never again reached epidemic proportions in this country.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25It is, however, still a significant killer around the globe.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Ockenden and Duke's company are still making drills.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31This one is destined for use in Africa.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Oh, wow.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Bring the lever, the right-hand one, down.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37It will come down.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40Woo-hoo!
0:14:42 > 0:14:46Albion Ockenden's simple technique for drilling just a few feet deeper
0:14:46 > 0:14:49continues to save lives around the world to this day.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Well, thank you very much indeed, Martin.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53It has been really interesting finding out about the history,
0:14:53 > 0:14:55and thanks for letting me drive the machine.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57It's been a pleasure, Catherine.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- Thank you.- Let's hope it works again later.
0:14:59 > 0:15:00THEY LAUGH
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Back with Charles and he has made his way 12 miles north
0:15:08 > 0:15:12to the small town of Petworth - I live near there.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16With a reputation of being a leading antiques town,
0:15:16 > 0:15:19there are sure to be a plethora of goodies available
0:15:19 > 0:15:24at Petworth Antiques Market, but with just £35 left in his pocket,
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Charles will need to buy very canni-li-li-lily.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Sometimes I can just see the dealer over there.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38If you look a bit sad or look a bit lost,
0:15:38 > 0:15:42they almost just feel a bit sorry for you and then sometimes that can work
0:15:42 > 0:15:45in your favour and there might be a bit more discount.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Look a bit lost and it just helps sometimes.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Isn't that sweet?
0:15:57 > 0:15:59We see lots of blue and white in antique centres
0:15:59 > 0:16:01and often it's willow pattern,
0:16:01 > 0:16:04it can be quite mundane and quite boring.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06This is a fisherman pattern,
0:16:06 > 0:16:10and this coffee cup would date to around 1785.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13And what I like about this coffee pot is you will see, OK,
0:16:13 > 0:16:17there is a crack here, but what really sets it off
0:16:17 > 0:16:19is this almost fritting in the glaze,
0:16:19 > 0:16:22which might suggest it is experimental.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26It could be quite an early coffee cup.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30With a ticket price of £10, it is time to talk to dealer Jeff.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32Priced at £10,
0:16:32 > 0:16:35that says 1,000 pence to me.
0:16:37 > 0:16:411,000 pence and the best price would be, in pence?
0:16:41 > 0:16:43I should think £8.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47800 pence. That's not bad. 800 pence.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50- A good buy, I think.- It just sounds a bit more grand saying pence.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52If you say so, Charles.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56And it looks like that is a deal done on the Caughley coffee cup.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01They say in antiques small is beautiful.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04So I'll take it. Jeff, there is £10.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Thank you very much. I'm very grateful.
0:17:06 > 0:17:07If I may have some change.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Yes, I'll just get you some change.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Very good of you.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14And with that, a day's shopping draws to a close.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Nighty-night, guys.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25It's the next day and Catherine and Charles are back on the road.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27This is, Charles,
0:17:27 > 0:17:30the first time I have ever been in a car with you driving
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- and I am petrified. - You're not, are you?
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Why? Are you being serious?
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Yes!
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Listen, this is all part of getting jiggy.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41This is you.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47So far, Charles has secured himself an impressive five lots.
0:17:47 > 0:17:52Buying a Minton bowl, the 1930s ostrich egg cigarettes dispenser,
0:17:52 > 0:17:57the Japanese carved figure, the Black Forest desk stand,
0:17:57 > 0:17:59and the rare Caughley coffee cup,
0:17:59 > 0:18:03which means he has just £27 left to spend today.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Catherine, meanwhile, has bagged two lots.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10The trio of fans and Lucky the Great Dane,
0:18:10 > 0:18:12leaving her with £130 to play with.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17This morning, Catherine and Charles
0:18:17 > 0:18:21have moseyed along to Lewes in East Sussex.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Nestled amongst the beautiful South Downs,
0:18:23 > 0:18:28historic Lewes is home to our experts' first shop of the day.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Here we are, Catherine.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31Top of the day. Good luck to you.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34- Here we are.- Perfectly placed.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36- Do you know this shop?- No.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40First time. I'm a northern man lost in the south with you.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Well, this is well-known territory for me - I will show you around.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Come on. Ladies first.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Hello. Charles Hanson, good to see you.
0:18:49 > 0:18:50- Michelle, hi.- Fantastic.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- What an amazing shop, isn't it? - It's really good.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55I don't know whether we can maybe have a personal shopper each,
0:18:55 > 0:18:57is that feasible? We can go our own ways
0:18:57 > 0:19:00- and I might take the lady with me. - OK.- Is that OK with you?
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Thank you very much.
0:19:02 > 0:19:03Come on, let's go for a quick wander.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Here we go.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08You old charmer, Charles.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12Established for 18 years, this shop holds a wide variety of antiques.
0:19:13 > 0:19:18This cabinet, I feel, is a very good place to start.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20- Hello.- Hello, I am back with the keys.
0:19:20 > 0:19:21Thank you, Michelle.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24- Another thing...- Can I call you Michelle My Belle?
0:19:24 > 0:19:26It might give us a discount as well. Thank you, Michelle.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28ALARM SOUNDS Oh, my Lord! Charles!
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- Sorry about that.- How alarming.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35Meanwhile, Catherine has spied a small charm that she likes.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36Is it silver gilt, or...
0:19:36 > 0:19:38It's gilt metal.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Oh, OK. Can I have a little look at that?
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Carrying on with my fan theme of yesterday.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Isn't that sweet?
0:19:49 > 0:19:54You've got this nice sort of embossed design.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Quite sweet. What date do you think that is?
0:19:56 > 0:19:58I would have thought it is about 1920.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01- Somewhere around there. - Can I hold on to that?
0:20:01 > 0:20:02Would you mind? Can I give that to you?
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Thank you. I just like that because it is a little bit...
0:20:05 > 0:20:08A little bit different. And we all love a fan, don't we?
0:20:08 > 0:20:09We do indeed.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Well, you certainly seem to this Road Trip.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16What has caught your eye, then, old girl?
0:20:16 > 0:20:19I saw this ballerina.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22I'm not a big fan of brooches, but she is quite sweet.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24- Yes.- The subject is fantastic,
0:20:24 > 0:20:28I mean, so often you find these big clusters with the big stone stuck in
0:20:28 > 0:20:29the middle, but something like that..
0:20:29 > 0:20:31I mean, and she's quite elegant.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Her pose is quite elegant, isn't it?
0:20:33 > 0:20:35She's actually quite lovely.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36I quite like that.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38It has got 50 on it.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40I was thinking in my mind sort of 28, 30...
0:20:40 > 0:20:43We'll leave Craig to consider Catherine's offer,
0:20:43 > 0:20:47because Charles has found a Swansea porcelain ink stand.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50He only has £27 left so fingers crossed, eh?
0:20:50 > 0:20:53I think that's lovely.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55It is this beautiful boat shape and I would call this a piece
0:20:55 > 0:20:59of Georgian porcelain and then it would date to around 1820.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01How much could that be, Michelle?
0:21:01 > 0:21:04I would have to phone him - there is no ticket on it.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Could it be £25?
0:21:06 > 0:21:08- I really don't know. - Could you give him a call?
0:21:08 > 0:21:09All right, I'll ask him, yeah.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Ink well. Thanks, Michelle.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14- Find out for me.- OK.
0:21:14 > 0:21:15Hi, Ian, it is Michelle.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Hello, lovey, how are you?
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Right, Michelle My Belle, what news?
0:21:20 > 0:21:22- Michelle?- Your luck is in.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- No, really? - Well, he said 30, but...
0:21:25 > 0:21:29Really? I just wonder if you could do £28?
0:21:29 > 0:21:31I think that would be OK.
0:21:31 > 0:21:36Really? I think I will say at £28, for the first time,
0:21:36 > 0:21:39for the second time, and I will buy it.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41- I will buy that for £28. - OK.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Oh, no, you won't. You're short, Charles.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Lovely. My last bit of money.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47There's 20.
0:21:47 > 0:21:491, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Seven? 27? It was meant to be 28.
0:21:54 > 0:21:571, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- Miscalculation?- I've only got £27 left.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02- Oh, dear.- Would you like... - Never mind.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04That is not on purpose.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06- I believe you.- I am one pound short.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Would you take £27?
0:22:09 > 0:22:11And you really have completely cleared me out.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12I apologise.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Yes. It's fine, it's fine, never mind.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18Are you sure? Michelle My Belle, give us a kiss.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19- Are you happy with that?- Yes.
0:22:19 > 0:22:20It doesn't matter.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23It's only money. Thanks, Michelle.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24- It is.- Take care, see you.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26You naughty boy.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29That forgiving deal means Charles has spent every single penny,
0:22:29 > 0:22:31- so top marks.- Bye!
0:22:31 > 0:22:32I do apologise.
0:22:35 > 0:22:36Ha-ha!
0:22:36 > 0:22:40Catherine is still shopping and Craig has something he thinks
0:22:40 > 0:22:41will pique her interest.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Asprey hair brushes.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47- Now you're talking.- These have only just come in to stock
0:22:47 > 0:22:50- so they haven't even been cleaned yet.- They are lovely.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Absolutely perfect.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55So this would've been in a set once upon a time.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Perhaps with some other little jars or something like that.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00And maybe a hand mirror, probably.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03But it's nice that we've got Asprey on the side there -
0:23:03 > 0:23:06a nice clear mark, which is lovely, and you haven't polished them,
0:23:06 > 0:23:08which I think is fantastic.
0:23:09 > 0:23:14A great side as well is the lovely green enamel, the engine-turned enamel.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Did you have a price in mind for these?
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Yes. They come in at a massive £10 each.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21So £40.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Can they be 30 - is that cheeky?
0:23:23 > 0:23:25- Can they be 30?- They can be 35.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27So that's just come in, that's fresh stock.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29I love fresh stock.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31It gets me all excited.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32Ohh-hoo-hoo!
0:23:32 > 0:23:34So do I.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35Now, decision time.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Catherine has three lots.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Did you find out anything else on that?
0:23:39 > 0:23:41I had a word with Michelle, we've made a decision
0:23:41 > 0:23:42and we're going to take 30 on it.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43You can do 30, that's wonderful.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45I'll take that at 30.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48This had a little ticket on it, which is no longer on it...
0:23:48 > 0:23:50What...?
0:23:50 > 0:23:52It was £12, so it's £10.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54£10, OK.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Can you do that for eight?
0:23:56 > 0:24:00Just to make my lot... The reason being, the rest of my fans are 32 and if
0:24:00 > 0:24:02I can make that eight, that gives it a nice comfortable...
0:24:02 > 0:24:04- A nice round figure. - A nice round figure.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06So, if I can do eight for that, that's lovely.
0:24:06 > 0:24:11And £35 for the Asprey hairbrushes makes a combined total of £73.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13S'marvellous.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Having spent every penny,
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Charles has decided to take a trip to the seaside,
0:24:23 > 0:24:25and has made his way to Brighton.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28MUSIC: I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside
0:24:28 > 0:24:33But he is not here to stroll along the prom, prom, prom - oh, no.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37Instead, he is here to learn all about how the town
0:24:37 > 0:24:39used to pong, pong, pong,
0:24:39 > 0:24:42as he has come to meet Stuart Slark,
0:24:42 > 0:24:44who knows a thing or two about Brighton's sewers.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Rather Charles than me.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49- Is it Stuart?- Yes, it is.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51- Good to see you.- Hello, Charles, nice to meet you.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54That smell. It is great taking in this lovely air.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58- Oh, it's beautiful.- It's clean and we always say enjoy the sea air,
0:24:58 > 0:24:59- don't we?- We do.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02If we roll back the years to maybe when Brighton Pavilion
0:25:02 > 0:25:05and Prince Regent George IV, it was the place to come,
0:25:05 > 0:25:10it was highly fashionable, but back then there was a stench, wasn't there?
0:25:10 > 0:25:12There was a very bad stench, yes.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16Because Brighton didn't have any sewerage system at all.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18All the properties were on cesspits,
0:25:18 > 0:25:20which meant there was nowhere for it to go,
0:25:20 > 0:25:23which meant when they were full up they used to tip them in the streets.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26And it used to come all the way down on to the beach, and go into the sea.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30You're going to show me what the sewers did to make this what it is today.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32- Yes.- Great! I can't wait, Stuart.
0:25:34 > 0:25:35By the 19th century,
0:25:35 > 0:25:39Brighton was one of the fastest-growing towns in Britain
0:25:39 > 0:25:43and thousands of families would visit for their annual seaside holiday.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46As a result, parts of Brighton struggled to cope.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50One huge problem was the stench from overflowing cesspits,
0:25:50 > 0:25:53and it would take one engineering genius to fix it,
0:25:53 > 0:25:55by creating a sewerage system.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00- Mind your step, Charles. - I can smell it.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Oh, my goodness me.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06- Is that sewage?- That is raw sewage going through there at the moment.
0:26:06 > 0:26:11Oh, my goodness me. So are we now...? This is the old Victorian sewer.
0:26:11 > 0:26:16Everything you see today with me is the old Victorian sewer, yes.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18There is a surface run-off.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21- Is that sewage?- No, that is just condensation in here at the moment.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23I am pleased to hear it.
0:26:23 > 0:26:24If you look here...
0:26:24 > 0:26:27- Oh, yes.- This is where the rats normally sit.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28Oh, you are joking.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32- There's none here, so you're all right.- Oh, God!
0:26:32 > 0:26:33This is awful,
0:26:33 > 0:26:38in the nicest sense of learning about history, it's awful.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Gosh, we're quite deep now, aren't we, underground?
0:26:40 > 0:26:44Yes, we are about 40 foot underground at the moment
0:26:44 > 0:26:45in the sewers itself.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47My immediate reaction, I think, Stuart,
0:26:47 > 0:26:51to what I can see is what a tremendous feat of engineering.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54It's an incredible feat of engineering
0:26:54 > 0:26:56when you think this was all open-cast done,
0:26:56 > 0:27:00in other words it was a great big hole and then they just built
0:27:00 > 0:27:03the brickwork around a wooden frame.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09The man in charge of designing this impressive system was Sir John Hawkshaw,
0:27:09 > 0:27:13a talented civil engineer noted for work on Charing Cross
0:27:13 > 0:27:15and Cannon Street railway stations in London.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18What did Sir John Hawkshaw do?
0:27:18 > 0:27:20All I can see is a tunnel.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23What was different with his work?
0:27:23 > 0:27:28The difference came because Brighton has got no pumping stations on it
0:27:28 > 0:27:30at all, and everything was done by gravity.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35So what they invented, they invented an egg-shaped barrel,
0:27:35 > 0:27:36as you can see.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40As you can see, the egg-shaped barrel there.
0:27:40 > 0:27:45So what that does, because it is a small amount of gravity going through,
0:27:45 > 0:27:50what it does, it speeds up and throws all the water into the bottom of the barrel
0:27:50 > 0:27:53and makes it go faster as you can hear it going down
0:27:53 > 0:27:54into the pipe bit.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57What a man Sir John was.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00He almost, I suppose, rescued Brighton from what had been.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02I think he helped make it as popular as it was.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05This is still in very good working condition now.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Which way are we going now?
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Let's go down here. Again.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12As you go round the second bend, just mind the step down.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14I feel like I'm in a loo, literally.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18There are an impressive 29 miles of Victorian sewers
0:28:18 > 0:28:20running under Brighton.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Wow!
0:28:22 > 0:28:25# Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside
0:28:25 > 0:28:28# Oh, I do like to be beside the sea... #
0:28:28 > 0:28:31I wish he would stop jumping up and down.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Stuart, I can see light.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Yes, this is one of the most impressive chambers
0:28:37 > 0:28:38that has ever been built
0:28:38 > 0:28:40by Sir John Hawkshaw.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Wow, that is amazing, isn't it?
0:28:42 > 0:28:44If you would believe it,
0:28:44 > 0:28:47we have been told there is over seven million bricks in here.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49Who were the workers?
0:28:49 > 0:28:52They employed Irish navvies, actually.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56So the Irish came over in their droves to support this build.
0:28:56 > 0:28:57Yes, correct, yes.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01And it cost quite a bit of money in those days.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05They estimated the cost to build this at £80,000.
0:29:05 > 0:29:06Back in 1860 something?
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Correct.
0:29:08 > 0:29:12That would work out to be about £9 million today.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15You would never get brickwork laid like this now in this day and age.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17How long did it take to build?
0:29:17 > 0:29:20It took from 1869 to 1874.
0:29:20 > 0:29:24It was five years, which was incredible.
0:29:24 > 0:29:28A tribute to Victorian engineering and construction,
0:29:28 > 0:29:32Hawkshaw's sewers remain in use today, keeping Brighton clean,
0:29:32 > 0:29:34fragrant and safe from disease.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38Daylight. Thank goodness.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40Talking of fragrant...
0:29:41 > 0:29:45The sweet smell of Brighton is here once again.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48That was an experience.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50So romantic, Charles.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59Back with Catherine and she's travelled half an hour south
0:29:59 > 0:30:01to Peacehaven for a final spot of shopping.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07Good afternoon, sir.
0:30:07 > 0:30:08Hiding behind the cabinets!
0:30:08 > 0:30:11Good afternoon. A pleasure to meet you.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14- I'm Catherine and you're...? - Hello, Catherine, I'm Steve.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17Hello, Steve. Catherine has £57 still to spend.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Thank goodness there's lots of stock.
0:30:21 > 0:30:25A bit of silvery bits and bobs, nothing really in there.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27This is all kind of militaria.
0:30:29 > 0:30:30That's quite pretty.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36Whenever I see anything shagreen, I have to pick it up.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40Shagreen is the most wonderful, wonderful material.
0:30:40 > 0:30:45So this is dyed, dyed green shark skin or ray skin.
0:30:45 > 0:30:49You find it in 18th century and also very popular,
0:30:49 > 0:30:51it's kind of revived really in Art Deco.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54You find a lot of things made from this and the Art Deco period.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57This is probably '20s, '30s.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59It's a lighter.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Had that been an etui or something like that,
0:31:01 > 0:31:03that would have been absolutely gorgeous.
0:31:03 > 0:31:04Can you do this for 20?
0:31:04 > 0:31:07HE SIGHS
0:31:07 > 0:31:08No.
0:31:08 > 0:31:09Oh!
0:31:09 > 0:31:1222 really would be the lowest.
0:31:12 > 0:31:1322.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16Shake my hand, Steve.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18I'm going to buy this at £22.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21- Okey-doke.- Thank you very much.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23I suppose you need to be paid, don't you?
0:31:23 > 0:31:25Yes.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28- It would be good.- Damn, I thought I was going to get away with that.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30Nice try, Catherine.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33That purchase brings the shopping to a close for this Road Trip.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38Catherine will add the Art Deco gent's lighter
0:31:38 > 0:31:40to her other purchases -
0:31:40 > 0:31:44the collection of fans, including the novelty gilt metal charm,
0:31:44 > 0:31:45the Great Dane woofer,
0:31:46 > 0:31:48the green enamel brush set,
0:31:49 > 0:31:52and the 1950s silver ballerina brooch.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55She spent a total of £165.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Well done, that girl.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01Charles, meanwhile, spent every single penny of his £200 pot,
0:32:01 > 0:32:07buying a Minton bowl, the 1930s ostrich egg cigarette dispenser,
0:32:07 > 0:32:10the Japanese carved figure,
0:32:10 > 0:32:12the Black Forest desk stand,
0:32:12 > 0:32:15the rare Caughley coffee cup
0:32:15 > 0:32:18and the Swansea porcelain ink stand, which,
0:32:18 > 0:32:19if it's right, is worth a fortune.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21So, what do they make of each other's lots?
0:32:21 > 0:32:25I adore, adore, his Minton bowl.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28How he got that for £60, I shall never know.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31I love Catherine's puppy. The Great Dane in the window,
0:32:31 > 0:32:34made in Cotswold stone, was an inspired buy.
0:32:34 > 0:32:38The public love small dogs in stone and at £32, to me,
0:32:38 > 0:32:41it's worth between 50 and 70.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44That little blue and white cup looks pretty rare to me,
0:32:44 > 0:32:47but have you spotted that massive crack down it?
0:32:47 > 0:32:51But then he only paid £8 so who knows what will happen?
0:32:53 > 0:32:55After starting in Arundel in Sussex,
0:32:55 > 0:32:57our experts are now en route to
0:32:57 > 0:33:00auction in Paddock Wood, Kent.
0:33:03 > 0:33:04Where are we?
0:33:04 > 0:33:07All you need to know is we are in the Garden of England.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10My home county!
0:33:10 > 0:33:11- Really?- Welcome.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14It is beautiful. The North-South divide, particularly for you and I,
0:33:14 > 0:33:15it could result, I think,
0:33:15 > 0:33:21in a shock result today in that it could be Catherine 1, Hanson 0.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23- As in football.- I don't think so.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27Our expert duo have finally arrived at Hop Farm Auctions
0:33:27 > 0:33:29and they are raring to go.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32We are literally at the back of the saleroom.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37And the sun is shining.
0:33:37 > 0:33:38And the sun is shining.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40- What could go wrong? - Everything is in our favour today.
0:33:40 > 0:33:45Presiding over today's proceedings is auctioneer Alex Jenkins.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49What does he make of our experts' lots?
0:33:49 > 0:33:53I think my favourite for the auction has got to be the Black Forest.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55I think that one has just got it all going on.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58I think it is going to do very well and I'm just jealous
0:33:58 > 0:33:59that I can't buy it myself, I have to say.
0:33:59 > 0:34:00The Cotswold stone,
0:34:00 > 0:34:04this could be a little fun surprise hit of the auction, I think.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06Time to find out.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08With buyers online and in the room,
0:34:08 > 0:34:12it's time for this pair to take their seats.
0:34:12 > 0:34:16First up, Charles's Minton bowl - this could be good.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18100, it starts at 100.
0:34:18 > 0:34:19Oh, come on.
0:34:19 > 0:34:23- I do hate to disappoint. - It's a great object, I had £100.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25110, 120, 130, 140, 150 now.
0:34:25 > 0:34:29160 on there, 170 now.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31- Go on.- I'm over the moon with that.
0:34:31 > 0:34:32Selling at 160.
0:34:32 > 0:34:36Yeah! I just liked it.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39- Thank you very much.- I wonder if they know about the chip.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41Charles is off to a flying start, though.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43That was your best thing.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46Yeah, it was, and my blockbuster paid off, and I'm delighted.
0:34:46 > 0:34:50Can Catherine make as big a splash with her first lot?
0:34:50 > 0:34:53Her set of enamel brushes are next.
0:34:53 > 0:34:54- £50 - I'm in.- Well done.
0:34:54 > 0:34:55- Put it there?- £55 anywhere now?
0:34:55 > 0:34:58- That's good, well done. - Sh! Keep going.
0:34:58 > 0:34:5955 is online, 60.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02At £60, £60, 65, 70, we're there.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04- £70, sir?- I told you.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06- I told you.- £70 here, 75 we want.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08At £70 it is.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Yay! He's a friend of mine.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Hey!
0:35:12 > 0:35:14That's a profit apiece - great stuff.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16I think you did very well.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20Charles is up again, this time with his Swansea porcelain ink stand.
0:35:20 > 0:35:21Now, stand by.
0:35:21 > 0:35:22£30 online.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Thank you, net, I'm happy.
0:35:24 > 0:35:2632. 32 is at the back, 32.
0:35:26 > 0:35:2934 there, 36? 36 there.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31- Come on!- 36 is there, 40.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33- Keep going.- 40 is there, 42.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35- 42 is there - 44, anywhere? - It doesn't need any more!
0:35:35 > 0:35:3746 there, 48, 50 now.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39£50 online.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42At £50, we're selling at 50.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46Gosh, well done. Another profit there for Charles,
0:35:46 > 0:35:47but it could have been more.
0:35:47 > 0:35:48You are flying.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50- It's good.- £23...
0:35:50 > 0:35:54Shall I go? You want to do this road trip by yourself?
0:35:54 > 0:35:56Thank you, Wales, and thank you, Kent.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00Time to find out if there are any dog lovers in the room.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02It's Catherine's Great Dane.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Will he prove to be lucky?
0:36:05 > 0:36:09- £20 is bid.- That's profit there. What's wrong?
0:36:09 > 0:36:10Oh, is it bid? £22 now,
0:36:10 > 0:36:11come along now.
0:36:11 > 0:36:17- £22, 22 is online, 24.- Oh, come on!
0:36:17 > 0:36:20- 22 it is.- No.- The sympathy bids are coming in.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22Ah! Get out!
0:36:22 > 0:36:26£28, 30. Yay! 32, 34. 34 is online.
0:36:26 > 0:36:2836. 38 there, 40 now.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30- 42.- Very, very, very good.
0:36:30 > 0:36:3444, back in. 46 there, 48 to you.
0:36:34 > 0:36:3548's there, 50 now.
0:36:35 > 0:36:3648 it is.
0:36:38 > 0:36:39It got there in the end.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41And it's another profit for Catherine.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44- Here we go, at £5... - Lucky, you made £10.
0:36:44 > 0:36:50- Lucky.- Now, Charles, this time with his Oriental old boy.
0:36:50 > 0:36:54- 22, 24, 26, 28.- Quite right, yes.
0:36:54 > 0:36:5630. Go on!
0:36:56 > 0:36:58Go on! Go on!
0:36:58 > 0:36:5932's online. 32 it is.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02At £32. Sells at 32.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06Charles is certainly on a roll today.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08Quality sells.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10Quality sells well.
0:37:10 > 0:37:11Quality sells well.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14That's his mantra.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16Catherine's fan selection is up next.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18£20, thank you, sir.
0:37:18 > 0:37:1922 now, straight in at 20.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21Net's in. Watch the net go. Watch the net.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Still cheap for this lot.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27- It's really cheap.- 22 is there, 24, 26, 28, 26 there, £28 we need now.
0:37:27 > 0:37:33£26, 28, 30. 32, 34. No?
0:37:33 > 0:37:3532 it is. In the middle at £32.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37Anywhere else? Still pretty things, still cheap.
0:37:37 > 0:37:41Watch the net. There's nothing on the net.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43At £32 bid, it sells at 32.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45- What?- Paris. Look at me.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48- Oh, shush! 32.- How much?
0:37:48 > 0:37:49I'm not telling you!
0:37:49 > 0:37:51You know what they made, and they didn't make a profit.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54It was a risky punt, given their condition,
0:37:54 > 0:37:57and one which didn't pay off, unfortunately,
0:37:57 > 0:37:58so bad luck, Catherine.
0:37:58 > 0:38:02I'm really gutted. I really, really thought they would do brilliantly.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04That was my hope.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07Don't laugh. Don't laugh!
0:38:07 > 0:38:11Time to see if Charles's ostrich egg cigarette dispenser
0:38:11 > 0:38:13will go up in smoke or not.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16- £60 I'm bid. £65 we want.- We are in.
