It's the nation's favourite antiques experts.

0:00:020:00:03

-With £200 each...

-I want something shiny.

0:00:030:00:06

..a classic car and a goal - to scour Britain for antiques.

0:00:060:00:10

-I like a rummage!

-I can't resist it.

0:00:100:00:13

The aim, to make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat.

0:00:130:00:16

Why do I always do this to myself?

0:00:160:00:19

-There'll be worthy winners...

-Give us a kiss.

-..and valiant losers.

0:00:190:00:22

Come on - stick 'em up.

0:00:220:00:24

-So, will it be the high road to glory...

-Onwards and upwards!

0:00:240:00:26

..or the slow road to disaster?

0:00:260:00:28

Take me home!

0:00:280:00:30

This is Antiques Road Trip.

0:00:300:00:31

Yeah!

0:00:330:00:34

# It's a new dawn, it's a new day

0:00:360:00:39

# It's a new life for me

0:00:390:00:43

# And I'm feeling good. #

0:00:450:00:47

Today we begin a brand-new adventure in the south of England with

0:00:470:00:50

les auctioneers extraordinaires,

0:00:500:00:52

Catherine Southon and Charles Hanson.

0:00:520:00:55

How exciting. They make a nice couple, don't they?

0:00:550:01:00

I'm a northern guy,

0:01:000:01:01

and I've come very far south to take on a southern lass.

0:01:010:01:04

That's it. Southon in southern.

0:01:040:01:07

You know what they say - there can be a big North-South divide

0:01:070:01:10

and I'm feeling it, but not that much.

0:01:100:01:13

There is a big north and south divide here.

0:01:130:01:15

-Get out of here.

-We'll never have a divide.

0:01:150:01:17

-We're going to have a fun challenge.

-We're going to have fun.

0:01:170:01:19

Right. Road Trip regular Charles is a smooth talker

0:01:190:01:23

who knows his stuff when it comes to sniffing out antiques.

0:01:230:01:26

Isn't it beautiful?

0:01:270:01:28

Oh, look at this little lamb.

0:01:280:01:30

-I know.

-Oh, look.

0:01:300:01:32

-Baaa!

-Hello, lambs.

0:01:320:01:34

Hello, sheep. Here is the Derby Ram.

0:01:340:01:37

I am a Derby Ram, you know.

0:01:370:01:39

I do enjoy lamb to eat.

0:01:390:01:41

How can you say that?

0:01:410:01:42

Well, I do. Shall we put one in the back?

0:01:420:01:44

-How can you possibly say that?

-There's one dead over there.

0:01:440:01:47

Oh, Charles.

0:01:470:01:48

I enjoy cooking lamb.

0:01:480:01:51

His rival on this journey, another Road Trip favourite, Catherine,

0:01:510:01:55

is the queen of brokering a good deal.

0:01:550:01:58

How do you play the Road Trip game?

0:01:580:02:00

-What is your game?

-I don't have a game.

0:02:000:02:02

I don't have a strategy.

0:02:020:02:04

If I like it, I buy...

0:02:040:02:05

-What have you done?

-My seat has gone back.

0:02:050:02:07

Sorry. Sorry, Catherine.

0:02:070:02:09

I'm just getting into the Road Trip week, OK?

0:02:090:02:12

Let me just lie back,

0:02:120:02:13

think of England and just think about the dream.

0:02:140:02:17

Oh, Charles. Starting this Road Trip with £200 each,

0:02:170:02:21

our experts will be zipping around in this snazzy 1981 MGB GT.

0:02:210:02:27

We don't have a great reputation

0:02:270:02:30

for driving particularly well, do we?

0:02:300:02:32

Do you think we're going to come out of this alive?

0:02:340:02:36

I do hope so.

0:02:360:02:38

On this epic Road Trip,

0:02:380:02:40

Catherine and Charles will start in the south of England before making

0:02:400:02:43

their way north, meandering around the West Midlands

0:02:430:02:46

and then travelling through the Peak District.

0:02:460:02:48

They will finish up with a final auction in Congleton in Cheshire.

0:02:490:02:52

This leg will kick off in Arundel, West Sussex,

0:02:540:02:57

and end in Paddock Wood, Kent, for an auction. Nice.

0:02:570:03:01

Charles, it is getting really hot in here.

0:03:010:03:03

You think this is right?

0:03:030:03:05

Um, do you mean the car or us?

0:03:050:03:08

-What?

-Sorry.

0:03:080:03:09

Charles Hanson!

0:03:090:03:12

Yeah. This morning, our Charles will shop first.

0:03:120:03:16

Look out, Arundel.

0:03:160:03:17

Isn't that charming?

0:03:170:03:19

-Have a great day.

-Have fun.

0:03:190:03:21

I will have fun. The sun is shining.

0:03:210:03:23

Have fun in the sun.

0:03:230:03:25

-Can you get out?

-Thank you.

0:03:250:03:27

Bye.

0:03:270:03:28

-Good morning.

-Good morning.

0:03:310:03:33

-How are you?

-I'm very well, thank you, Charles.

0:03:330:03:35

-Charles Hanson.

-Nice to meet you.

-What a gorgeous town.

0:03:350:03:37

You are right there.

0:03:370:03:39

David's shop specialises in militaria,

0:03:390:03:42

but there are plenty of other antiques on offer here.

0:03:420:03:45

Right, let's go.

0:03:450:03:46

Let's go, Charles.

0:03:460:03:48

Stop hopping about.

0:03:480:03:50

Have you been married a few years, David?

0:03:500:03:52

Have I been married a few years?

0:03:520:03:54

I have indeed. I thought you said have I been mad for a few years?

0:03:540:03:58

Ha! So did I.

0:03:590:04:00

And standing by, David's good lady wife Amy has something she'd like to

0:04:000:04:04

show Charles, and she's a good egg.

0:04:040:04:06

Hello. Is that ostrich egg? Of course.

0:04:060:04:08

It's a cigarette stand, isn't it?

0:04:080:04:09

Dispenser. I would have thought...

0:04:090:04:11

What is it - 1930s?

0:04:110:04:12

Yes, it's so exotic,

0:04:120:04:14

it's so Jazz Age.

0:04:140:04:16

It's so, I suppose, stylish.

0:04:160:04:19

So really because this obviously is a faux shell.

0:04:190:04:23

It's not a real shell, is it?

0:04:230:04:25

It's just made to imitate some type of ostrich egg.

0:04:250:04:27

So a really stylish object, Amy.

0:04:270:04:30

How much is it?

0:04:300:04:32

-£50.

-How much?

-£50.

-£15?

-50!

0:04:320:04:34

Sorry. Five-zero.

0:04:340:04:37

You're happy. No problem. 20.

0:04:370:04:39

-How much?

-20.

0:04:390:04:41

-20?

-Yeah.

-Oh, that's not bad.

0:04:410:04:44

I like the style.

0:04:460:04:48

One to consider.

0:04:480:04:51

All right, boys, OK?

0:04:520:04:54

Stay with me, OK? Stay with me.

0:04:540:04:56

So, while Charles's browsing continues outside,

0:04:560:04:59

Catherine has made her way to Storrington

0:04:590:05:01

and her first shop of the day.

0:05:010:05:03

-Hello.

-Hello.

0:05:030:05:05

And you might be?

0:05:050:05:07

-Ian.

-Hello, Ian, I'm Catherine.

0:05:070:05:08

Welcome to Stable Antiques.

0:05:080:05:11

With 35 dealers and wares set out over two floors,

0:05:110:05:15

there's plenty to peruse.

0:05:150:05:17

I don't think you'd find my name on there.

0:05:170:05:21

I wasn't the best behaved girl at school.

0:05:210:05:24

Crikey. Really?

0:05:240:05:26

Right, what have you found?

0:05:260:05:29

Fans, I have actually done OK with some fans recently.

0:05:290:05:33

This one in particular, though, this is mother-of-pearl,

0:05:330:05:36

so the guard sticks, the outer sticks,

0:05:360:05:39

are mother-of-pearl. The actual fan itself is usually silk.

0:05:390:05:42

It does say on it, AF, so "as found",

0:05:420:05:45

so that means there is obviously something wrong with it.

0:05:450:05:47

Well, there's only one way to find out, girl.

0:05:470:05:50

I think you will find it's in a little bit of a poorly state.

0:05:500:05:52

-Oh, gosh, it is, isn't it?

-Yeah.

0:05:520:05:55

OK. Right. You don't have any more, by any chance, do you?

0:05:550:06:01

Anywhere else, dotted?

0:06:010:06:03

Well, actually, I have. I've got two more which I haven't priced up yet.

0:06:030:06:06

I haven't put out for sale.

0:06:060:06:08

Lovely. This is getting exciting.

0:06:080:06:10

It is indeed.

0:06:100:06:12

Right, let's see those fans.

0:06:120:06:14

I used to have a few of those.

0:06:140:06:16

That's actually the bad thing.

0:06:160:06:17

It is when the outer guard sticks get broken.

0:06:170:06:21

-Yes.

-We've got one broken one, another broken one.

0:06:210:06:24

I think you'll like this one.

0:06:240:06:26

I'm going to put that one down.

0:06:260:06:29

Well, the problem that we have is that we have

0:06:290:06:32

three fans in very poor condition.

0:06:320:06:36

These two you haven't put prices on.

0:06:360:06:40

-No.

-I mean, he's put £12 on that, your friend, Simon.

-Yes.

0:06:400:06:43

I mean, I would probably offer eight, if that is acceptable to him.

0:06:430:06:47

-Eight for this one alone?

-Yeah.

0:06:470:06:50

I think I can do it for ten.

0:06:500:06:52

Oh, OK. And then I would probably say ten for each of those.

0:06:520:06:57

I think this one is worth a little bit more. 25 for the two.

0:06:570:07:02

-So 35...

-Yes.

-Couldn't come to 30?

0:07:020:07:05

Shall we see what else you might buy?

0:07:050:07:09

Well, I'm quite interested in your little puppy outside.

0:07:090:07:12

-Ah.

-How much is that doggie in the window?

0:07:120:07:14

Well, actually on the path.

0:07:150:07:18

-He's lovely.

-He's actually...

0:07:180:07:20

although he is a puppy, he is about the same age

0:07:200:07:21

as the larger full-sized Great Dane.

0:07:210:07:23

Is he not very old?

0:07:230:07:25

He's probably about ten years old.

0:07:250:07:28

What sort of price could he be?

0:07:280:07:30

-He could be about 30-ish?

-I would say 40.

0:07:300:07:33

If we could say 30 on the fans and 38 on him, we've got a deal.

0:07:330:07:38

You don't think we could do 32 on the fans and 38 on him?

0:07:380:07:44

Oh, I'm not going to argue over two pounds.

0:07:460:07:48

-Very good.

-I'm not going to argue over two pounds.

-Thank you.

0:07:480:07:51

It's been lovely. £32. £38. What are we going to call him?

0:07:510:07:55

-Lucky.

-Absolutely.

0:07:550:07:57

Lucky, that's what we'll call him.

0:07:570:07:59

Lucky, you are coming home with me.

0:07:590:08:02

Well, let's hope he lives up to his name.

0:08:020:08:05

So that is the trio of fans and Lucky the dog bought for £70.

0:08:050:08:09

Good stuff. Woof.

0:08:090:08:12

Meanwhile, back in Arundel,

0:08:140:08:15

it looks like a Minton bowl has caught Charles's eye.

0:08:150:08:17

Just look at that gorgeous blue.

0:08:170:08:20

The reason that I like this is this, what we call...

0:08:200:08:23

we call this blue Blue Celeste.

0:08:230:08:25

What I love is this continuous band of sailing vessels

0:08:250:08:29

against this really well-illuminated skyline.

0:08:290:08:34

-Art Deco, 1930.

-Oh, right.

-HE TAPS THE BOWL

0:08:340:08:36

-That ring as well.

-It has a nice ring to it.

0:08:360:08:39

Rings a bell, doesn't it?

0:08:410:08:44

Is that a chip?

0:08:440:08:46

Yeah, it is.

0:08:460:08:48

Yeah. Surely that will knock some money off

0:08:480:08:52

the £120 ticket price, then?

0:08:520:08:55

To me in a saleroom, I'd want to probably pay you about £50.

0:08:550:09:00

-Is that too little?

-I think that's too low, I'm afraid.

0:09:000:09:02

I think 65 would be well below what we'd hope for.

0:09:020:09:07

-Really?

-Yes.

0:09:070:09:09

Would you meet me at £60?

0:09:090:09:11

Let's do it at £60.

0:09:110:09:12

Amy, you are happy at 60?

0:09:120:09:14

-Yeah.

-I think we're all good at 60.

-David, you're happy?

0:09:140:09:16

So I can buy the attractive bowl,

0:09:160:09:18

my Road Trip now is off and running,

0:09:180:09:21

quite literally sailing.

0:09:210:09:23

You slightly lost me there, Charles.

0:09:230:09:25

Anyway, that's your first lot bought -

0:09:250:09:28

what else is here of interest?

0:09:280:09:30

A little rootwood carving of an elder.

0:09:300:09:32

Probably Japanese.

0:09:320:09:34

And this would date to around 1880.

0:09:340:09:36

He has got a split.

0:09:360:09:38

The feet are not particularly good,

0:09:380:09:41

but the detail in there is very, very nice indeed.

0:09:410:09:44

Nice patination. David, how much is he?

0:09:440:09:47

-35.

-Yeah, he's nice.

0:09:470:09:48

And the best on him would be?

0:09:480:09:49

Make an offer.

0:09:490:09:51

-Make an offer?

-Yes.

0:09:510:09:53

-£10.

-All right.

-Is that a sale?

0:09:530:09:55

It's a £10 sale. Well done.

0:09:550:09:56

-I'll take him.

-Thank you very much indeed.

-I'll take him.

0:09:560:09:59

Cor, he is on a roll, isn't he?

0:09:590:10:01

That's another lot bought and he is showing no sign of stopping.

0:10:010:10:04

What is this ink stand here, David?

0:10:040:10:06

-Well, I believe it to be Black Forest.

-OK. So it is German.

0:10:060:10:11

It is all very typical of circa 1900.

0:10:110:10:12

I think it is quite late.

0:10:120:10:14

It is about 1900, 1910.

0:10:140:10:17

-But it is in remarkably good condition.

-Yep.

0:10:170:10:20

Black Forest carvings became a symbol of luxury and wealth

0:10:200:10:24

associated with travel, and very popular today.

0:10:240:10:27

What would be your very best price, Amy?

0:10:270:10:29

You can have...150.

0:10:290:10:33

I like it, but my bid would be £70.

0:10:330:10:39

-£80.

-Oh, don't say that. How much?

0:10:390:10:44

-£80.

-80 and you can have it.

0:10:440:10:46

And we wish you well with it.

0:10:460:10:49

£75, you've got a deal.

0:10:500:10:53

-OK.

-OK, 75 is good.

0:10:530:10:55

-I'll take it. Go on, thank you very much.

-Thank you so much.

0:10:550:10:58

Another deal done and Charles is still considering

0:10:580:11:00

the cigarette dispenser, which could be a risky punt,

0:11:000:11:03

as tobacco-related collectables

0:11:030:11:04

aren't particularly popular these days.

0:11:040:11:06

HE COUGHS

0:11:060:11:08

This is quite novel because it's Art Deco and your best on this is 20?

0:11:080:11:12

-Yes.

-This lovely sort of simulated ostrich egg in the jazz Art Deco style,

0:11:120:11:17

it's got great style, I will buy this for £20.

0:11:170:11:21

Thank you, Amy.

0:11:210:11:22

It seems like a no-brainer to me, and he is done!

0:11:220:11:25

That's a huge £165 spent on four lots in his very first shop.

0:11:250:11:30

Bye-bye, see you.

0:11:300:11:32

Crikey. Slightly concerned -

0:11:320:11:35

I'm just about spent up.

0:11:350:11:37

While Charles has been busy,

0:11:410:11:43

Catherine has made her way down the road to Ford.

0:11:430:11:46

Back in the 19th century,

0:11:480:11:49

cholera was a serious threat to towns and cities across the country.

0:11:490:11:54

Originating in India, the disease swept across the Empire,

0:11:540:11:58

arriving on UK shores in 1831.

0:11:580:12:00

Causing panic,

0:12:000:12:03

there was no practical proposal to stem its spread until an engineer

0:12:030:12:07

in nearby Littlehampton offered a way forward.

0:12:070:12:10

Catherine is meeting managing director at Dando Drilling,

0:12:110:12:14

Martin Fitch-Roy, to find out more.

0:12:140:12:17

Hi there. Catherine. Nice to meet you.

0:12:170:12:19

Hello, Catherine, shall we go inside?

0:12:190:12:21

Please. Show me the way.

0:12:210:12:22

In the summer of 1867,

0:12:220:12:25

an outbreak of cholera across the south coast

0:12:250:12:28

left 18 people dead in Littlehampton.

0:12:280:12:31

Dear, oh, dear.

0:12:310:12:32

So, taking it right back, what was the number one cause of cholera?

0:12:330:12:38

It was proven that a contamination of the water supply by human sewage,

0:12:380:12:42

either leaking pipes...

0:12:420:12:44

They had a theory that they could put the pipes into the river,

0:12:440:12:47

which only makes things worse.

0:12:470:12:49

But in our case in Littlehampton,

0:12:490:12:51

they were drinking water from the ground, ground water,

0:12:510:12:53

but also digging pit latrines in the proximity of the water supply.

0:12:530:12:58

So they were contaminating their water before they even used it.

0:12:580:13:02

In Littlehampton, a leading physician at that time,

0:13:040:13:08

Dr John Candy,

0:13:080:13:09

believed that by cleaning the water supply, cholera could be overcome.

0:13:090:13:13

Dr Candy had an associate, Albion Ockenden,

0:13:140:13:17

who was one of the founders of this company.

0:13:170:13:19

Who had an idea that he could make a machine and use technology to drill

0:13:190:13:24

further down into the geology,

0:13:240:13:26

below the depths of the wells they were using at the moment,

0:13:260:13:29

to get into clean water, thus presenting a clean water supply.

0:13:290:13:33

He would have used a very simple gantry machine

0:13:330:13:36

with just a rope and a winch,

0:13:360:13:38

but the secret was to find steel tubes that could be driven into

0:13:380:13:42

the ground and he used tubes from the boiler of an old steam tug

0:13:420:13:47

called the Newcastle, which happened to be in the harbour being renovated

0:13:470:13:51

at the time, and using those tubes,

0:13:510:13:53

he invented a method of drilling down into the geology

0:13:530:13:57

to acquire clean water.

0:13:570:13:59

Ockenden hit the jackpot with his tube-well invention

0:14:000:14:04

and quickly patented it.

0:14:040:14:06

With his partner, Reginald Duke,

0:14:060:14:07

they soon began to fix water supplies

0:14:070:14:10

in nearby towns and eventually across the British Empire,

0:14:100:14:12

saving millions of lives.

0:14:120:14:15

After the 1860s outbreak,

0:14:150:14:17

cholera never again reached epidemic proportions in this country.

0:14:170:14:21

It is, however, still a significant killer around the globe.

0:14:210:14:25

Ockenden and Duke's company are still making drills.

0:14:250:14:28

This one is destined for use in Africa.

0:14:280:14:31

Oh, wow.

0:14:310:14:33

Bring the lever, the right-hand one, down.

0:14:330:14:35

It will come down.

0:14:350:14:37

Woo-hoo!

0:14:390:14:40

Albion Ockenden's simple technique for drilling just a few feet deeper

0:14:420:14:46

continues to save lives around the world to this day.

0:14:460:14:49

Well, thank you very much indeed, Martin.

0:14:490:14:51

It has been really interesting finding out about the history,

0:14:510:14:53

and thanks for letting me drive the machine.

0:14:530:14:55

It's been a pleasure, Catherine.

0:14:550:14:57

-Thank you.

-Let's hope it works again later.

0:14:570:14:59

THEY LAUGH

0:14:590:15:00

Back with Charles and he has made his way 12 miles north

0:15:050:15:08

to the small town of Petworth - I live near there.

0:15:080:15:12

With a reputation of being a leading antiques town,

0:15:120:15:16

there are sure to be a plethora of goodies available

0:15:160:15:19

at Petworth Antiques Market, but with just £35 left in his pocket,

0:15:190:15:24

Charles will need to buy very canni-li-li-lily.

0:15:240:15:26

Sometimes I can just see the dealer over there.

0:15:320:15:35

If you look a bit sad or look a bit lost,

0:15:350:15:38

they almost just feel a bit sorry for you and then sometimes that can work

0:15:380:15:42

in your favour and there might be a bit more discount.

0:15:420:15:45

Look a bit lost and it just helps sometimes.

0:15:470:15:50

Isn't that sweet?

0:15:550:15:57

We see lots of blue and white in antique centres

0:15:570:15:59

and often it's willow pattern,

0:15:590:16:01

it can be quite mundane and quite boring.

0:16:010:16:04

This is a fisherman pattern,

0:16:040:16:06

and this coffee cup would date to around 1785.

0:16:060:16:10

And what I like about this coffee pot is you will see, OK,

0:16:100:16:13

there is a crack here, but what really sets it off

0:16:130:16:17

is this almost fritting in the glaze,

0:16:170:16:19

which might suggest it is experimental.

0:16:190:16:22

It could be quite an early coffee cup.

0:16:220:16:26

With a ticket price of £10, it is time to talk to dealer Jeff.

0:16:260:16:30

Priced at £10,

0:16:310:16:32

that says 1,000 pence to me.

0:16:320:16:35

1,000 pence and the best price would be, in pence?

0:16:370:16:41

I should think £8.

0:16:410:16:43

800 pence. That's not bad. 800 pence.

0:16:430:16:47

-A good buy, I think.

-It just sounds a bit more grand saying pence.

0:16:470:16:50

If you say so, Charles.

0:16:500:16:52

And it looks like that is a deal done on the Caughley coffee cup.

0:16:520:16:56

They say in antiques small is beautiful.

0:16:580:17:01

So I'll take it. Jeff, there is £10.

0:17:010:17:04

Thank you very much. I'm very grateful.

0:17:040:17:06

If I may have some change.

0:17:060:17:07

Yes, I'll just get you some change.

0:17:070:17:09

Very good of you.

0:17:090:17:11

And with that, a day's shopping draws to a close.

0:17:110:17:14

Nighty-night, guys.

0:17:140:17:16

It's the next day and Catherine and Charles are back on the road.

0:17:210:17:25

This is, Charles,

0:17:250:17:27

the first time I have ever been in a car with you driving

0:17:270:17:30

-and I am petrified.

-You're not, are you?

0:17:300:17:33

Why? Are you being serious?

0:17:330:17:35

Yes!

0:17:350:17:37

Listen, this is all part of getting jiggy.

0:17:370:17:39

This is you.

0:17:400:17:41

So far, Charles has secured himself an impressive five lots.

0:17:430:17:47

Buying a Minton bowl, the 1930s ostrich egg cigarettes dispenser,

0:17:470:17:52

the Japanese carved figure, the Black Forest desk stand,

0:17:520:17:57

and the rare Caughley coffee cup,

0:17:570:17:59

which means he has just £27 left to spend today.

0:17:590:18:03

Catherine, meanwhile, has bagged two lots.

0:18:030:18:06

The trio of fans and Lucky the Great Dane,

0:18:060:18:10

leaving her with £130 to play with.

0:18:100:18:12

This morning, Catherine and Charles

0:18:150:18:17

have moseyed along to Lewes in East Sussex.

0:18:170:18:21

Nestled amongst the beautiful South Downs,

0:18:210:18:23

historic Lewes is home to our experts' first shop of the day.

0:18:230:18:28

Here we are, Catherine.

0:18:280:18:30

Top of the day. Good luck to you.

0:18:300:18:31

-Here we are.

-Perfectly placed.

0:18:310:18:34

-Do you know this shop?

-No.

0:18:340:18:36

First time. I'm a northern man lost in the south with you.

0:18:360:18:40

Well, this is well-known territory for me - I will show you around.

0:18:400:18:43

Come on. Ladies first.

0:18:430:18:45

Hello. Charles Hanson, good to see you.

0:18:470:18:49

-Michelle, hi.

-Fantastic.

0:18:490:18:50

-What an amazing shop, isn't it?

-It's really good.

0:18:500:18:52

I don't know whether we can maybe have a personal shopper each,

0:18:520:18:55

is that feasible? We can go our own ways

0:18:550:18:57

-and I might take the lady with me.

-OK.

-Is that OK with you?

0:18:570:19:00

Thank you very much.

0:19:000:19:02

Come on, let's go for a quick wander.

0:19:020:19:03

Here we go.

0:19:030:19:05

You old charmer, Charles.

0:19:050:19:08

Established for 18 years, this shop holds a wide variety of antiques.

0:19:080:19:12

This cabinet, I feel, is a very good place to start.

0:19:130:19:18

-Hello.

-Hello, I am back with the keys.

0:19:180:19:20

Thank you, Michelle.

0:19:200:19:21

-Another thing...

-Can I call you Michelle My Belle?

0:19:210:19:24

It might give us a discount as well. Thank you, Michelle.

0:19:240:19:26

ALARM SOUNDS Oh, my Lord! Charles!

0:19:260:19:28

-Sorry about that.

-How alarming.

0:19:280:19:31

Meanwhile, Catherine has spied a small charm that she likes.

0:19:310:19:35

Is it silver gilt, or...

0:19:350:19:36

It's gilt metal.

0:19:360:19:38

Oh, OK. Can I have a little look at that?

0:19:380:19:40

Carrying on with my fan theme of yesterday.

0:19:400:19:43

Isn't that sweet?

0:19:470:19:49

You've got this nice sort of embossed design.

0:19:490:19:54

Quite sweet. What date do you think that is?

0:19:540:19:56

I would have thought it is about 1920.

0:19:560:19:58

-Somewhere around there.

-Can I hold on to that?

0:19:580:20:01

Would you mind? Can I give that to you?

0:20:010:20:02

Thank you. I just like that because it is a little bit...

0:20:020:20:05

A little bit different. And we all love a fan, don't we?

0:20:050:20:08

We do indeed.

0:20:080:20:09

Well, you certainly seem to this Road Trip.

0:20:100:20:13

What has caught your eye, then, old girl?

0:20:130:20:16

I saw this ballerina.

0:20:160:20:19

I'm not a big fan of brooches, but she is quite sweet.

0:20:190:20:22

-Yes.

-The subject is fantastic,

0:20:220:20:24

I mean, so often you find these big clusters with the big stone stuck in

0:20:240:20:28

the middle, but something like that..

0:20:280:20:29

I mean, and she's quite elegant.

0:20:290:20:31

Her pose is quite elegant, isn't it?

0:20:310:20:33

She's actually quite lovely.

0:20:330:20:35

I quite like that.

0:20:350:20:36

It has got 50 on it.

0:20:360:20:38

I was thinking in my mind sort of 28, 30...

0:20:380:20:40

We'll leave Craig to consider Catherine's offer,

0:20:400:20:43

because Charles has found a Swansea porcelain ink stand.

0:20:430:20:47

He only has £27 left so fingers crossed, eh?

0:20:470:20:50

I think that's lovely.

0:20:500:20:53

It is this beautiful boat shape and I would call this a piece

0:20:530:20:55

of Georgian porcelain and then it would date to around 1820.

0:20:550:20:59

How much could that be, Michelle?

0:20:590:21:01

I would have to phone him - there is no ticket on it.

0:21:010:21:04

Could it be £25?

0:21:040:21:06

-I really don't know.

-Could you give him a call?

0:21:060:21:08

All right, I'll ask him, yeah.

0:21:080:21:09

Ink well. Thanks, Michelle.

0:21:090:21:11

-Find out for me.

-OK.

0:21:110:21:14

Hi, Ian, it is Michelle.

0:21:140:21:15

Hello, lovey, how are you?

0:21:160:21:18

Right, Michelle My Belle, what news?

0:21:180:21:20

-Michelle?

-Your luck is in.

0:21:200:21:22

-No, really?

-Well, he said 30, but...

0:21:220:21:25

Really? I just wonder if you could do £28?

0:21:250:21:29

I think that would be OK.

0:21:290:21:31

Really? I think I will say at £28, for the first time,

0:21:310:21:36

for the second time, and I will buy it.

0:21:360:21:39

-I will buy that for £28.

-OK.

0:21:390:21:41

Oh, no, you won't. You're short, Charles.

0:21:410:21:43

Lovely. My last bit of money.

0:21:430:21:45

There's 20.

0:21:450:21:47

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

0:21:470:21:49

Seven? 27? It was meant to be 28.

0:21:520:21:54

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...

0:21:540:21:57

-Miscalculation?

-I've only got £27 left.

0:21:570:22:00

-Oh, dear.

-Would you like...

-Never mind.

0:22:000:22:02

That is not on purpose.

0:22:020:22:04

-I believe you.

-I am one pound short.

0:22:040:22:06

Would you take £27?

0:22:060:22:09

And you really have completely cleared me out.

0:22:090:22:11

I apologise.

0:22:110:22:12

Yes. It's fine, it's fine, never mind.

0:22:120:22:14

Are you sure? Michelle My Belle, give us a kiss.

0:22:140:22:18

-Are you happy with that?

-Yes.

0:22:180:22:19

It doesn't matter.

0:22:190:22:20

It's only money. Thanks, Michelle.

0:22:200:22:23

-It is.

-Take care, see you.

0:22:230:22:24

You naughty boy.

0:22:240:22:26

That forgiving deal means Charles has spent every single penny,

0:22:260:22:29

-so top marks.

-Bye!

0:22:290:22:31

I do apologise.

0:22:310:22:32

Ha-ha!

0:22:350:22:36

Catherine is still shopping and Craig has something he thinks

0:22:360:22:40

will pique her interest.

0:22:400:22:41

Asprey hair brushes.

0:22:430:22:45

-Now you're talking.

-These have only just come in to stock

0:22:450:22:47

-so they haven't even been cleaned yet.

-They are lovely.

0:22:470:22:50

Absolutely perfect.

0:22:510:22:53

So this would've been in a set once upon a time.

0:22:530:22:55

Perhaps with some other little jars or something like that.

0:22:550:22:58

And maybe a hand mirror, probably.

0:22:580:23:00

But it's nice that we've got Asprey on the side there -

0:23:000:23:03

a nice clear mark, which is lovely, and you haven't polished them,

0:23:030:23:06

which I think is fantastic.

0:23:060:23:08

A great side as well is the lovely green enamel, the engine-turned enamel.

0:23:090:23:14

Did you have a price in mind for these?

0:23:140:23:16

Yes. They come in at a massive £10 each.

0:23:160:23:19

So £40.

0:23:190:23:21

Can they be 30 - is that cheeky?

0:23:210:23:23

-Can they be 30?

-They can be 35.

0:23:230:23:25

So that's just come in, that's fresh stock.

0:23:250:23:27

I love fresh stock.

0:23:270:23:29

It gets me all excited.

0:23:290:23:31

Ohh-hoo-hoo!

0:23:310:23:32

So do I.

0:23:320:23:34

Now, decision time.

0:23:340:23:35

Catherine has three lots.

0:23:350:23:37

Did you find out anything else on that?

0:23:370:23:39

I had a word with Michelle, we've made a decision

0:23:390:23:41

and we're going to take 30 on it.

0:23:410:23:42

You can do 30, that's wonderful.

0:23:420:23:43

I'll take that at 30.

0:23:430:23:45

This had a little ticket on it, which is no longer on it...

0:23:450:23:48

What...?

0:23:480:23:50

It was £12, so it's £10.

0:23:500:23:52

£10, OK.

0:23:520:23:54

Can you do that for eight?

0:23:540:23:56

Just to make my lot... The reason being, the rest of my fans are 32 and if

0:23:560:24:00

I can make that eight, that gives it a nice comfortable...

0:24:000:24:02

-A nice round figure.

-A nice round figure.

0:24:020:24:04

So, if I can do eight for that, that's lovely.

0:24:040:24:06

And £35 for the Asprey hairbrushes makes a combined total of £73.

0:24:060:24:11

S'marvellous.

0:24:110:24:13

Having spent every penny,

0:24:190:24:21

Charles has decided to take a trip to the seaside,

0:24:210:24:23

and has made his way to Brighton.

0:24:230:24:25

MUSIC: I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside

0:24:250:24:28

But he is not here to stroll along the prom, prom, prom - oh, no.

0:24:280:24:33

Instead, he is here to learn all about how the town

0:24:330:24:37

used to pong, pong, pong,

0:24:370:24:39

as he has come to meet Stuart Slark,

0:24:390:24:42

who knows a thing or two about Brighton's sewers.

0:24:420:24:44

Rather Charles than me.

0:24:440:24:46

-Is it Stuart?

-Yes, it is.

0:24:470:24:49

-Good to see you.

-Hello, Charles, nice to meet you.

0:24:490:24:51

That smell. It is great taking in this lovely air.

0:24:510:24:54

-Oh, it's beautiful.

-It's clean and we always say enjoy the sea air,

0:24:540:24:58

-don't we?

-We do.

0:24:580:24:59

If we roll back the years to maybe when Brighton Pavilion

0:24:590:25:02

and Prince Regent George IV, it was the place to come,

0:25:020:25:05

it was highly fashionable, but back then there was a stench, wasn't there?

0:25:050:25:10

There was a very bad stench, yes.

0:25:100:25:12

Because Brighton didn't have any sewerage system at all.

0:25:120:25:16

All the properties were on cesspits,

0:25:160:25:18

which meant there was nowhere for it to go,

0:25:180:25:20

which meant when they were full up they used to tip them in the streets.

0:25:200:25:23

And it used to come all the way down on to the beach, and go into the sea.

0:25:230:25:26

You're going to show me what the sewers did to make this what it is today.

0:25:260:25:30

-Yes.

-Great! I can't wait, Stuart.

0:25:300:25:32

By the 19th century,

0:25:340:25:35

Brighton was one of the fastest-growing towns in Britain

0:25:350:25:39

and thousands of families would visit for their annual seaside holiday.

0:25:390:25:43

As a result, parts of Brighton struggled to cope.

0:25:430:25:46

One huge problem was the stench from overflowing cesspits,

0:25:460:25:50

and it would take one engineering genius to fix it,

0:25:500:25:53

by creating a sewerage system.

0:25:530:25:55

-Mind your step, Charles.

-I can smell it.

0:25:580:26:00

Oh, my goodness me.

0:26:000:26:02

-Is that sewage?

-That is raw sewage going through there at the moment.

0:26:020:26:06

Oh, my goodness me. So are we now...? This is the old Victorian sewer.

0:26:060:26:11

Everything you see today with me is the old Victorian sewer, yes.

0:26:110:26:16

There is a surface run-off.

0:26:160:26:18

-Is that sewage?

-No, that is just condensation in here at the moment.

0:26:180:26:21

I am pleased to hear it.

0:26:210:26:23

If you look here...

0:26:230:26:24

-Oh, yes.

-This is where the rats normally sit.

0:26:240:26:27

Oh, you are joking.

0:26:270:26:28

-There's none here, so you're all right.

-Oh, God!

0:26:280:26:32

This is awful,

0:26:320:26:33

in the nicest sense of learning about history, it's awful.

0:26:330:26:38

Gosh, we're quite deep now, aren't we, underground?

0:26:380:26:40

Yes, we are about 40 foot underground at the moment

0:26:400:26:44

in the sewers itself.

0:26:440:26:45

My immediate reaction, I think, Stuart,

0:26:450:26:47

to what I can see is what a tremendous feat of engineering.

0:26:470:26:51

It's an incredible feat of engineering

0:26:510:26:54

when you think this was all open-cast done,

0:26:540:26:56

in other words it was a great big hole and then they just built

0:26:560:27:00

the brickwork around a wooden frame.

0:27:000:27:03

The man in charge of designing this impressive system was Sir John Hawkshaw,

0:27:050:27:09

a talented civil engineer noted for work on Charing Cross

0:27:090:27:13

and Cannon Street railway stations in London.

0:27:130:27:15

What did Sir John Hawkshaw do?

0:27:160:27:18

All I can see is a tunnel.

0:27:180:27:20

What was different with his work?

0:27:210:27:23

The difference came because Brighton has got no pumping stations on it

0:27:230:27:28

at all, and everything was done by gravity.

0:27:280:27:30

So what they invented, they invented an egg-shaped barrel,

0:27:310:27:35

as you can see.

0:27:350:27:36

As you can see, the egg-shaped barrel there.

0:27:360:27:40

So what that does, because it is a small amount of gravity going through,

0:27:400:27:45

what it does, it speeds up and throws all the water into the bottom of the barrel

0:27:450:27:50

and makes it go faster as you can hear it going down

0:27:500:27:53

into the pipe bit.

0:27:530:27:54

What a man Sir John was.

0:27:540:27:57

He almost, I suppose, rescued Brighton from what had been.

0:27:570:28:00

I think he helped make it as popular as it was.

0:28:000:28:02

This is still in very good working condition now.

0:28:020:28:05

Which way are we going now?

0:28:050:28:07

Let's go down here. Again.

0:28:070:28:09

As you go round the second bend, just mind the step down.

0:28:090:28:12

I feel like I'm in a loo, literally.

0:28:120:28:14

There are an impressive 29 miles of Victorian sewers

0:28:140:28:18

running under Brighton.

0:28:180:28:20

Wow!

0:28:200:28:22

# Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside

0:28:220:28:25

# Oh, I do like to be beside the sea... #

0:28:250:28:28

I wish he would stop jumping up and down.

0:28:280:28:31

Stuart, I can see light.

0:28:310:28:34

Yes, this is one of the most impressive chambers

0:28:340:28:37

that has ever been built

0:28:370:28:38

by Sir John Hawkshaw.

0:28:380:28:40

Wow, that is amazing, isn't it?

0:28:400:28:42

If you would believe it,

0:28:420:28:44

we have been told there is over seven million bricks in here.

0:28:440:28:47

Who were the workers?

0:28:470:28:49

They employed Irish navvies, actually.

0:28:490:28:52

So the Irish came over in their droves to support this build.

0:28:520:28:56

Yes, correct, yes.

0:28:560:28:57

And it cost quite a bit of money in those days.

0:28:570:29:01

They estimated the cost to build this at £80,000.

0:29:010:29:05

Back in 1860 something?

0:29:050:29:06

Correct.

0:29:060:29:08

That would work out to be about £9 million today.

0:29:080:29:12

You would never get brickwork laid like this now in this day and age.

0:29:120:29:15

How long did it take to build?

0:29:150:29:17

It took from 1869 to 1874.

0:29:170:29:20

It was five years, which was incredible.

0:29:200:29:24

A tribute to Victorian engineering and construction,

0:29:240:29:28

Hawkshaw's sewers remain in use today, keeping Brighton clean,

0:29:280:29:32

fragrant and safe from disease.

0:29:320:29:34

Daylight. Thank goodness.

0:29:360:29:38

Talking of fragrant...

0:29:380:29:40

The sweet smell of Brighton is here once again.

0:29:410:29:45

That was an experience.

0:29:450:29:48

So romantic, Charles.

0:29:480:29:50

Back with Catherine and she's travelled half an hour south

0:29:560:29:59

to Peacehaven for a final spot of shopping.

0:29:590:30:01

Good afternoon, sir.

0:30:050:30:07

Hiding behind the cabinets!

0:30:070:30:08

Good afternoon. A pleasure to meet you.

0:30:080:30:11

-I'm Catherine and you're...?

-Hello, Catherine, I'm Steve.

0:30:110:30:14

Hello, Steve. Catherine has £57 still to spend.

0:30:140:30:17

Thank goodness there's lots of stock.

0:30:170:30:20

A bit of silvery bits and bobs, nothing really in there.

0:30:210:30:25

This is all kind of militaria.

0:30:250:30:27

That's quite pretty.

0:30:290:30:30

Whenever I see anything shagreen, I have to pick it up.

0:30:330:30:36

Shagreen is the most wonderful, wonderful material.

0:30:360:30:40

So this is dyed, dyed green shark skin or ray skin.

0:30:400:30:45

You find it in 18th century and also very popular,

0:30:450:30:49

it's kind of revived really in Art Deco.

0:30:490:30:51

You find a lot of things made from this and the Art Deco period.

0:30:510:30:54

This is probably '20s, '30s.

0:30:540:30:57

It's a lighter.

0:30:570:30:59

Had that been an etui or something like that,

0:30:590:31:01

that would have been absolutely gorgeous.

0:31:010:31:03

Can you do this for 20?

0:31:030:31:04

HE SIGHS

0:31:040:31:07

No.

0:31:070:31:08

Oh!

0:31:080:31:09

22 really would be the lowest.

0:31:090:31:12

22.

0:31:120:31:13

Shake my hand, Steve.

0:31:140:31:16

I'm going to buy this at £22.

0:31:160:31:18

-Okey-doke.

-Thank you very much.

0:31:180:31:21

I suppose you need to be paid, don't you?

0:31:210:31:23

Yes.

0:31:230:31:25

-It would be good.

-Damn, I thought I was going to get away with that.

0:31:250:31:28

Nice try, Catherine.

0:31:280:31:30

That purchase brings the shopping to a close for this Road Trip.

0:31:300:31:33

Catherine will add the Art Deco gent's lighter

0:31:350:31:38

to her other purchases -

0:31:380:31:40

the collection of fans, including the novelty gilt metal charm,

0:31:400:31:44

the Great Dane woofer,

0:31:440:31:45

the green enamel brush set,

0:31:460:31:48

and the 1950s silver ballerina brooch.

0:31:490:31:52

She spent a total of £165.

0:31:520:31:55

Well done, that girl.

0:31:550:31:57

Charles, meanwhile, spent every single penny of his £200 pot,

0:31:570:32:01

buying a Minton bowl, the 1930s ostrich egg cigarette dispenser,

0:32:010:32:07

the Japanese carved figure,

0:32:070:32:10

the Black Forest desk stand,

0:32:100:32:12

the rare Caughley coffee cup

0:32:120:32:15

and the Swansea porcelain ink stand, which,

0:32:150:32:18

if it's right, is worth a fortune.

0:32:180:32:19

So, what do they make of each other's lots?

0:32:190:32:21

I adore, adore, his Minton bowl.

0:32:210:32:25

How he got that for £60, I shall never know.

0:32:250:32:28

I love Catherine's puppy. The Great Dane in the window,

0:32:280:32:31

made in Cotswold stone, was an inspired buy.

0:32:310:32:34

The public love small dogs in stone and at £32, to me,

0:32:340:32:38

it's worth between 50 and 70.

0:32:380:32:41

That little blue and white cup looks pretty rare to me,

0:32:410:32:44

but have you spotted that massive crack down it?

0:32:440:32:47

But then he only paid £8 so who knows what will happen?

0:32:470:32:51

After starting in Arundel in Sussex,

0:32:530:32:55

our experts are now en route to

0:32:550:32:57

auction in Paddock Wood, Kent.

0:32:570:33:00

Where are we?

0:33:030:33:04

All you need to know is we are in the Garden of England.

0:33:040:33:07

My home county!

0:33:070:33:10

-Really?

-Welcome.

0:33:100:33:11

It is beautiful. The North-South divide, particularly for you and I,

0:33:110:33:14

it could result, I think,

0:33:140:33:15

in a shock result today in that it could be Catherine 1, Hanson 0.

0:33:150:33:21

-As in football.

-I don't think so.

0:33:210:33:23

Our expert duo have finally arrived at Hop Farm Auctions

0:33:230:33:27

and they are raring to go.

0:33:270:33:29

We are literally at the back of the saleroom.

0:33:290:33:32

And the sun is shining.

0:33:340:33:37

And the sun is shining.

0:33:370:33:38

-What could go wrong?

-Everything is in our favour today.

0:33:380:33:40

Presiding over today's proceedings is auctioneer Alex Jenkins.

0:33:400:33:45

What does he make of our experts' lots?

0:33:450:33:49

I think my favourite for the auction has got to be the Black Forest.

0:33:490:33:53

I think that one has just got it all going on.

0:33:530:33:55

I think it is going to do very well and I'm just jealous

0:33:550:33:58

that I can't buy it myself, I have to say.

0:33:580:33:59

The Cotswold stone,

0:33:590:34:00

this could be a little fun surprise hit of the auction, I think.

0:34:000:34:04

Time to find out.

0:34:040:34:06

With buyers online and in the room,

0:34:060:34:08

it's time for this pair to take their seats.

0:34:080:34:12

First up, Charles's Minton bowl - this could be good.

0:34:120:34:16

100, it starts at 100.

0:34:160:34:18

Oh, come on.

0:34:180:34:19

-I do hate to disappoint.

-It's a great object, I had £100.

0:34:190:34:23

110, 120, 130, 140, 150 now.

0:34:230:34:25

160 on there, 170 now.

0:34:250:34:29

-Go on.

-I'm over the moon with that.

0:34:290:34:31

Selling at 160.

0:34:310:34:32

Yeah! I just liked it.

0:34:320:34:36

-Thank you very much.

-I wonder if they know about the chip.

0:34:360:34:39

Charles is off to a flying start, though.

0:34:390:34:41

That was your best thing.

0:34:410:34:43

Yeah, it was, and my blockbuster paid off, and I'm delighted.

0:34:430:34:46

Can Catherine make as big a splash with her first lot?

0:34:460:34:50

Her set of enamel brushes are next.

0:34:500:34:53

-£50 - I'm in.

-Well done.

0:34:530:34:54

-Put it there?

-£55 anywhere now?

0:34:540:34:55

-That's good, well done.

-Sh! Keep going.

0:34:550:34:58

55 is online, 60.

0:34:580:34:59

At £60, £60, 65, 70, we're there.

0:34:590:35:02

-£70, sir?

-I told you.

0:35:020:35:04

-I told you.

-£70 here, 75 we want.

0:35:040:35:06

At £70 it is.

0:35:060:35:08

Yay! He's a friend of mine.

0:35:080:35:10

Hey!

0:35:100:35:12

That's a profit apiece - great stuff.

0:35:120:35:14

I think you did very well.

0:35:140:35:16

Charles is up again, this time with his Swansea porcelain ink stand.

0:35:160:35:20

Now, stand by.

0:35:200:35:21

£30 online.

0:35:210:35:22

Thank you, net, I'm happy.

0:35:220:35:24

32. 32 is at the back, 32.

0:35:240:35:26

34 there, 36? 36 there.

0:35:260:35:29

-Come on!

-36 is there, 40.

0:35:290:35:31

-Keep going.

-40 is there, 42.

0:35:310:35:33

-42 is there - 44, anywhere?

-It doesn't need any more!

0:35:330:35:35

46 there, 48, 50 now.

0:35:350:35:37

£50 online.

0:35:370:35:39

At £50, we're selling at 50.

0:35:390:35:42

Gosh, well done. Another profit there for Charles,

0:35:430:35:46

but it could have been more.

0:35:460:35:47

You are flying.

0:35:470:35:48

-It's good.

-£23...

0:35:480:35:50

Shall I go? You want to do this road trip by yourself?

0:35:500:35:54

Thank you, Wales, and thank you, Kent.

0:35:540:35:56

Time to find out if there are any dog lovers in the room.

0:35:560:36:00

It's Catherine's Great Dane.

0:36:000:36:02

Will he prove to be lucky?

0:36:020:36:04

-£20 is bid.

-That's profit there. What's wrong?

0:36:050:36:09

Oh, is it bid? £22 now,

0:36:090:36:10

come along now.

0:36:100:36:11

-£22, 22 is online, 24.

-Oh, come on!

0:36:110:36:17

-22 it is.

-No.

-The sympathy bids are coming in.

0:36:170:36:20

Ah! Get out!

0:36:200:36:22

£28, 30. Yay! 32, 34. 34 is online.

0:36:220:36:26

36. 38 there, 40 now.

0:36:260:36:28

-42.

-Very, very, very good.

0:36:280:36:30

44, back in. 46 there, 48 to you.

0:36:300:36:34

48's there, 50 now.

0:36:340:36:35

48 it is.

0:36:350:36:36

It got there in the end.

0:36:380:36:39

And it's another profit for Catherine.

0:36:390:36:41

-Here we go, at £5...

-Lucky, you made £10.

0:36:410:36:44

-Lucky.

-Now, Charles, this time with his Oriental old boy.

0:36:440:36:50

-22, 24, 26, 28.

-Quite right, yes.

0:36:500:36:54

30. Go on!

0:36:540:36:56

Go on! Go on!

0:36:560:36:58

32's online. 32 it is.

0:36:580:36:59

At £32. Sells at 32.

0:36:590:37:02

Charles is certainly on a roll today.

0:37:040:37:06

Quality sells.

0:37:060:37:08

Quality sells well.

0:37:080:37:10

Quality sells well.

0:37:100:37:11

That's his mantra.

0:37:120:37:14

Catherine's fan selection is up next.

0:37:140:37:16

£20, thank you, sir.

0:37:160:37:18

22 now, straight in at 20.

0:37:180:37:19

Net's in. Watch the net go. Watch the net.

0:37:190:37:21

Still cheap for this lot.

0:37:210:37:23

-It's really cheap.

-22 is there, 24, 26, 28, 26 there, £28 we need now.

0:37:230:37:27

£26, 28, 30. 32, 34. No?

0:37:270:37:33

32 it is. In the middle at £32.

0:37:330:37:35

Anywhere else? Still pretty things, still cheap.

0:37:350:37:37

Watch the net. There's nothing on the net.

0:37:370:37:41

At £32 bid, it sells at 32.

0:37:410:37:43

-What?

-Paris. Look at me.

0:37:430:37:45

-Oh, shush! 32.

-How much?

0:37:450:37:48

I'm not telling you!

0:37:480:37:49

You know what they made, and they didn't make a profit.

0:37:490:37:51

It was a risky punt, given their condition,

0:37:510:37:54

and one which didn't pay off, unfortunately,

0:37:540:37:57

so bad luck, Catherine.

0:37:570:37:58

I'm really gutted. I really, really thought they would do brilliantly.

0:37:580:38:02

That was my hope.

0:38:020:38:04

Don't laugh. Don't laugh!

0:38:040:38:07

Time to see if Charles's ostrich egg cigarette dispenser

0:38:070:38:11

will go up in smoke or not.

0:38:110:38:13

-£60 I'm bid. £65 we want.

-We are in.

0:38:130:38:16

-You've got 60?

-Look! We're live in the States.

0:38:160:38:19

£60 I've got, £65 we need.

0:38:190:38:21

At £60. It's still cheap, isn't it?

0:38:210:38:25

£60 here,

0:38:250:38:26

-at 60 it is.

-Come on!

0:38:260:38:27

-I'm a humble man.

-How...

-It's trebled up.

-..did that make £60?

0:38:290:38:33

-I'm a happy man.

-How did that make £60?

-The world came to Kent

0:38:330:38:37

and the world saluted my egg and it hatched. I'm delighted.

0:38:370:38:41

I bet you are. That profit means Charles is romping

0:38:410:38:44

-further into the lead.

-Funny old game, you know,

0:38:440:38:47

we've got a long way to go.

0:38:470:38:49

Oh, if looks could kill.

0:38:490:38:52

But can Catherine make a comeback

0:38:520:38:54

with her pretty little silver ballerina brooch?

0:38:540:38:57

Start straight in at £36.

0:38:570:39:00

-£38 anywhere?

-Good.

-Good. Keep going.

-Good.

-£38 now.

0:39:000:39:03

£38 there, 40 is here, 42, 44, 46.

0:39:030:39:08

-She's skipping away.

-£48 now.

0:39:080:39:11

-Oh, that's quite good.

-46 there, 48 we need.

0:39:110:39:13

Any more?

0:39:130:39:15

At 46.

0:39:150:39:16

Nice profit.

0:39:160:39:18

You've got to be pleased with that, Catherine.

0:39:180:39:21

-Good, that's good. That's sweet 16 profit.

-It's good for you.

0:39:210:39:25

Next up, Charles's rare Caughley coffee cup.

0:39:250:39:28

-£30 for it.

-30.

0:39:280:39:29

Come on, rare object.

0:39:290:39:31

Is that a bid?

0:39:310:39:32

No. £30 I'm bid, £32.

0:39:320:39:33

-Yeah, straight in at 30.

-32 we need. Still cheap. £30 there, 32 we want.

0:39:330:39:38

At £30 it is.

0:39:380:39:41

32's in, £34 now.

0:39:410:39:43

£32, at £32, it is 34 we want.

0:39:430:39:46

-Going on the net.

-At £32, £32 it is, that's 32.

0:39:460:39:49

-Stop dancing.

-Sorry.

-Another cracking profit there for Charles.

0:39:490:39:54

Look at me. Thanks a lot. That's good.

0:39:540:39:56

Catherine is back in the hot seat now with her last lot,

0:39:560:40:00

the Art Deco gents' lighter.

0:40:000:40:02

£10 I'm bid.

0:40:020:40:04

12, 14, 16, 18.

0:40:040:40:07

-Come on!

-It's moving now, look.

-16's there, 18 now.

0:40:070:40:09

£18 we need.

0:40:090:40:11

16, 18's there, 20.

0:40:110:40:12

22, 24.

0:40:120:40:14

-Come on, it's gorgeous.

-22 it is.

0:40:140:40:16

24, worth a lot more.

0:40:160:40:17

-Too little ducks. Quack quack.

-22, and 24 we need.

0:40:170:40:21

At 22.

0:40:210:40:22

Well, at least it wasn't a loss.

0:40:240:40:26

It had a good skin on it, it was a thick-skinned object,

0:40:260:40:29

you're thick-skinned as well, come on, it doesn't matter.

0:40:290:40:33

I think I'm going to cry.

0:40:330:40:35

Here comes Charles's final lot, the Black Forest desk stand.

0:40:350:40:40

-100 I'll take, 100, thank you.

-Hello!

0:40:400:40:42

-You should take that and run.

-No. Come on.

0:40:420:40:43

£100 it is. 110 now, should be more.

0:40:430:40:46

-110, 120, 130.

-What?

-Hold tight, baby. Sorry.

0:40:460:40:49

130, 140.

0:40:490:40:50

-Are you paying these guys?

-140, 150.

0:40:500:40:51

-Hold tight.

-160 online.

0:40:510:40:53

-170.

-America is calling.

0:40:530:40:55

It's the American dream. Come on, America.

0:40:550:40:57

-Come on, America.

-170, 180, 190?

0:40:570:40:59

-Yes, please.

-Yes, please.

-190 there, 200.

0:40:590:41:01

-200 is there, 210?

-How do you...

-Come on, America.

-Charlie!

0:41:010:41:04

220, 230. 230 is there, 240 now.

0:41:040:41:06

-230 it is.

-I'm amazed!

0:41:060:41:09

Baby, hold tight, it's a funny old game.

0:41:090:41:11

Sorry, Catherine. Keep going.

0:41:110:41:13

230 in the room, 240 we want.

0:41:130:41:14

-Come on, America!

-240 is there, 250 is yours.

0:41:140:41:17

-250 it is, 260 now.

-Come on!

-At 250 in the room.

0:41:170:41:21

At 250 selling.

0:41:210:41:23

Come on, Internet. Sold.

0:41:230:41:25

-Thank you very much.

-Well done.

0:41:250:41:26

-Wow!

-Well done.

-I can't believe it.

0:41:260:41:29

I think I need a kiss for that.

0:41:290:41:31

Oh!

0:41:310:41:33

And so Charles completes his full house of profits

0:41:330:41:37

with an amazing result.

0:41:370:41:38

I think you should do a little dance.

0:41:380:41:41

-I might have a little jig for joy.

-I might do a little jig for joy as well.

0:41:410:41:44

-GAVEL BANGS

-Sorry. We're being told off now.

0:41:440:41:47

Catherine started this leg with £200 and made a pretty profit

0:41:470:41:49

of £13.76 after auction costs, leaving her with £213.76.

0:41:490:41:56

Well done.

0:41:560:41:59

Charles also started with £200 and he made an amazing profit of

0:41:590:42:04

£278.88, after selling fees,

0:42:040:42:09

so he goes into the next leg way out in the lead,

0:42:090:42:13

with a fabulous £478.88.

0:42:130:42:16

You know, the sun is shining.

0:42:180:42:19

The sun is shining on you, Mr Hanson!

0:42:190:42:22

It's been great, come on.

0:42:220:42:23

You promised me a bit of a ballerina stance

0:42:230:42:25

and a little walk around on your tiptoes.

0:42:250:42:28

And you as well. Join in with me.

0:42:280:42:29

I can't do it, I'm on cloud nine now.

0:42:290:42:32

I'm really enjoying today.

0:42:320:42:33

-You've doubled.

-On your tiptoes.

0:42:330:42:35

-You have doubled.

-On your tiptoes.

0:42:350:42:37

Let's go. Come on. Funny old game.

0:42:390:42:41

In your manor as well.

0:42:410:42:42

In my manor? Yeah, rub it in a bit more, Charles.

0:42:420:42:44

On the lawns of Kent.

0:42:440:42:46

Yes. Let's rub it all in.

0:42:460:42:48

You did so well.

0:42:490:42:50

Take me home. Take me home!

0:42:500:42:52

-Sorry, wrong way. Sorry.

-No, wrong way, that way.

0:42:520:42:55

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

0:42:550:42:56

-Goodbye!

-See you soon, Road Trippers.

0:42:560:42:58

On the next Antiques Road Trip,

0:43:010:43:03

-there are plenty of surprises still to come...

-Goodness me!

0:43:030:43:06

There's a man on a huge pair of stilts.

0:43:060:43:10

..as they hit the road again.

0:43:100:43:11

Eat your heart out, Charles Hanson.
