0:00:02 > 0:00:04It's the nation's favourite antiques experts.
0:00:04 > 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.
0:00:13 > 0:00:17The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19Why do I always do this to myself?
0:00:19 > 0:00:21- There'll be worthy winners... - Give us a kiss.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24- ..and valiant losers. - Come on, stick 'em up!
0:00:24 > 0:00:25So will it be the high road to glory...
0:00:25 > 0:00:28- Onwards and upwards. - ..or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:28 > 0:00:31- Take me home. - This is Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:37 > 0:00:41Welcome to East Anglia and the final chapter with our Scots on tour.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45- It's nearly the end, Paul. - Don't say that!
0:00:45 > 0:00:49OK, well, I will, then, because, after several hundred miles,
0:00:49 > 0:00:54- Natasha Raskin...- Paul Laidlaw! - ..yes, Paul Laidlaw,
0:00:54 > 0:00:58and li'l red Mercedes are approaching journey's end.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Have you sent any postcards home yet?
0:01:01 > 0:01:02HE CHUCKLES
0:01:02 > 0:01:04I haven't sent any home.
0:01:04 > 0:01:05Well, fortunately,
0:01:05 > 0:01:10the adventures of our art expert and auctioneer from Glasgow
0:01:10 > 0:01:13have been fairly faithfully recorded,
0:01:13 > 0:01:16along with the ups and downs of her fellow doyen.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Do you like? I like.
0:01:18 > 0:01:24Our major in militaria is miles ahead, but, as they've gone south,
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- the auctions have, well...- Ouch! - ..followed suit.- Is that sore?
0:01:29 > 0:01:31There is this gap in my recollection.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35Somehow I got from a lot of money to a lot less money
0:01:35 > 0:01:36in a couple of auctions.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38I don't know how that happened.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Like I said, it's been on the telly.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Must be right.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Anyway, Natasha began with £200 but over the course of their trip
0:01:45 > 0:01:50that sum has dwindled to a mere £141.04.
0:01:50 > 0:01:55Whilst Paul's £200 has both waxed and waned so that
0:01:55 > 0:01:58he starts today with £370.04.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00I'm in uncertain territory here.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04- Lossville. I don't like it. - You don't like it?- No, no, no, no.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- Bring me back to Profit Town. - What's happened to us?
0:02:06 > 0:02:10I think I'm rubbing off on you, Paul.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12I think I left my mojo in Cumbria.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15I wonder where mine's got to...
0:02:15 > 0:02:19After kicking off at Prestwick, in the west coast of Scotland,
0:02:19 > 0:02:23Paul and Natasha have plotted a course leading south and east,
0:02:23 > 0:02:28sojourning in East Anglia before a final auction in Norfolk at Diss.
0:02:28 > 0:02:33Today's the day they arrive at that climactic destination
0:02:33 > 0:02:36but we start out elsewhere, at North Walsham.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41All quiet now, but back in 1831,
0:02:41 > 0:02:44North Walsham was up for the Peasants' Revolt.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- Here we are, right to the door. - Why, thank you.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49- Now, remember the rule when we share a shop.- What's that?
0:02:49 > 0:02:53- If you see anything good, let me know.- Cheeky!
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- Hello.- Hello, there. - Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Tasha.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58- Hi, I'm Michael. - Nice to meet you, Michael.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- Hello, Paul. Welcome to Timeline. - Thank you very much. Feels good.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04It does feel good. Smells good.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Well, thank you, Natasha. But is it big enough for the both of them?
0:03:07 > 0:03:12- We'll see.- There's something quite nice about this crib.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16It's very Victorian. Dark mahogany.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18It's got bun feet. It's detailed.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20But I think it's maybe too far for me.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23As gorgeous as it is, as grand as it is,
0:03:23 > 0:03:26it just seems a little bit weird to put a baby,
0:03:26 > 0:03:29who can't appreciate such fine detail, in a crib like that.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Save it for the master bedroom.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34What's his game, then?
0:03:36 > 0:03:37(My word).
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Crumbs!
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- AMPLIFIED: - Is it cheap, Natasha?
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Ooh!
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- Ha-ha!- What was that? What?
0:03:49 > 0:03:51HE LAUGHS
0:03:51 > 0:03:55There are very breakable items in here, Paul. Stop giving me a fright.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59Well said. Now, wasn't Natasha here just now?
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Have I read this right?
0:04:01 > 0:04:04This dealer here's having a half-price sale?
0:04:04 > 0:04:08- Yeah, he's having a sale. - I think Natasha's missed that.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Then this piece here, which has already been reduced once,
0:04:11 > 0:04:14is that now half that ticket price?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- That is now £50. - I'd better have a closer look.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20You know what the biggest problem with these is?
0:04:20 > 0:04:22- There's nothing one can do with them.- No.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27If you've got a big 19th-century residence, dotted in the
0:04:27 > 0:04:31corner of a bedroom, what a joyous object, but it's an ornament.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34You're certainly not going to put a child anywhere near it.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36But it's not been through the wars.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- It's all right, isn't it? - Yeah, it's sound.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Well, in that case, that's sold.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46- Well done.- Some things you don't haggle on.- Yeah.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48I wonder if there'll be recriminations over that one.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51It can happen when it's a bit cheek by jowl.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54I don't think I really like Paul being in the same shop.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57It doesn't matter so much if it's huge, but this is quite dinky.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00This is hard enough as it is, looking for antiques,
0:05:00 > 0:05:02without Paul Laidlaw creeping over your shoulder...
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- SHOUTS:- Keep it down, for goodness' sake! Think library!
0:05:05 > 0:05:09Paul, you're making me nervous!
0:05:09 > 0:05:13I think he might pipe down now for a bit, Natasha.
0:05:13 > 0:05:18One could easily dismiss these as a set of early-20th-century
0:05:18 > 0:05:23field glasses, binoculars, OK, and, as such, they would be worth £25.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26These, however, it's clear to see, are military
0:05:26 > 0:05:28because very rugged case,
0:05:28 > 0:05:33an ordinance broad arrow and a date here on the case of 1918.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37I think there's a fascinating insight into the war here
0:05:37 > 0:05:40because these are Mark V specials.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41Obviously.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45These are termed Galilean. These are traditional.
0:05:45 > 0:05:51Very rudimentary. These were only procured as an emergency measure.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55The British Army would love to order 100,000 sets of binoculars.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59They can not get that many on the open market.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Now, I say "procure". This is the interesting part of the story.
0:06:02 > 0:06:03They didn't just buy them.
0:06:03 > 0:06:08They set up a campaign whereby they asked YOU, Joe Civilian,
0:06:08 > 0:06:11to donate your binoculars to the military
0:06:11 > 0:06:12and they'd give you a receipt.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14It would see service
0:06:14 > 0:06:16and at the end of the war they'd give you your binoculars back.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19But there's something else I noticed here that transforms them
0:06:19 > 0:06:20from my point of view.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24"Quartermaster Sergeant Morton, Scots Guards."
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Is that not fantastic?
0:06:26 > 0:06:29What was his story during the Great War?
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Price tag on these, £48.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35With the Scots Guards thing, I think they're worth more than that.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Michael, do you think there's anything to be done
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- on that price tag there?- Yeah, I can make a phone call.- Could you?- Yeah.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45- I wonder if there could be a decent chunk shaved off that price.- OK.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48If you wouldn't mind asking, in all humility, on my behalf,
0:06:48 > 0:06:50- that would be fantastic. - So what are you looking at?
0:06:50 > 0:06:52To be honest with you, to be on the safe side,
0:06:52 > 0:06:54I'd like to pay £30 for those.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56In order to SEE a profit.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58How's Natasha getting on?
0:06:58 > 0:07:01I've spotted a word with which I'm very familiar.
0:07:02 > 0:07:07Glasgow. This is the Clyde Shipping Company, SS Caledonia.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11So the Caledonia that I know of was early 20th century, that took people
0:07:11 > 0:07:16from Glasgow to New York, which was then used in the
0:07:16 > 0:07:20Second World War and was destroyed by the enemy.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23So if it comes from that Caledonia, then that's exciting.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26But I'm slightly suspicious of this bucket because anyone who lives in
0:07:26 > 0:07:31Glasgow knows that Argyll is an area, with two Ls, but Argyle Street
0:07:31 > 0:07:34has an "E" at the end and is spelled differently from the area.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38So either I don't know this Argyll Street, double L, in Glasgow,
0:07:38 > 0:07:40or this isn't what is purports to be.
0:07:40 > 0:07:45It's £58. It's the kind of thing I'd want to buy for a tenner.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Smart move, I'd say.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Now, the last we saw of Paul, he was after buying those binoculars.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54I've spoken to the dealer. The best he can do on these is 35.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- Thank you.- Two in the bag already.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03- Tempus fugit, Natasha. - I really like this clock.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05It says on the label here, circa 1900,
0:08:05 > 0:08:09and of course it is because it's typical Arts and Crafts.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13Beautiful oak and it's got that real sort of rustic appeal.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16It's very typical Arts and Crafts, but it does say here on the label,
0:08:16 > 0:08:21it's made by the New Haven Clock Company, USA,
0:08:21 > 0:08:23but if it's American Arts and Crafts,
0:08:23 > 0:08:26quite often this gets described as "Mission".
0:08:26 > 0:08:27I think it's really smart.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30You can hear it ticking away and there's the pendulum
0:08:30 > 0:08:34and striking movement, complete with key, so that's nice too.
0:08:34 > 0:08:35It's just a lovely thing.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37It's not everyone's cup of tea,
0:08:37 > 0:08:41but it's really evocative of an era and I really like it.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44£89 is the ticket price.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45You can see it strikes.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46CLOCK CHIMES
0:08:46 > 0:08:48There we go, and, according to the label,
0:08:48 > 0:08:51it does that both on the hour and the half-hour so that's quite handy.
0:08:51 > 0:08:56It's just quite sweet, isn't it? Let's put it back in motion.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58I'd have this in my house.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01I think I'd like to talk to Michael about it and see what I can do.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- Gird your loins, son. - I really like it.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07- I think it's cute and I think it's quite unusual...- OK.
0:09:07 > 0:09:08..but I don't have very much money.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12I'm just going to come clean. I'd be asking for £40 for it.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13OK, I'll give him a ring.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17If he's lying down, we'll see what he says.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20So can Michael make that offer sound at all appealing?
0:09:20 > 0:09:24The ticket price is £89.
0:09:24 > 0:09:2640. Mmm.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28What would be your best on it?
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Straight bat, eh? Good idea.
0:09:30 > 0:09:31His best would be 50.
0:09:31 > 0:09:37- 50? Why not? It's a nice thing. I like it. Let's buy it.- Well done.
0:09:37 > 0:09:38And it's over a third of what she has left.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41- Oh, cool. Thank you so much. - Great start, Natasha.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45Now let's get that old timepiece safely secured.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Just strap you in.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52While back inside, Paul's still having fun.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54What's not to like about this?
0:09:56 > 0:09:59So little, somewhat rustic, pine box.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Delightful period and, by period, what do I mean?
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Got to be late 19th century. There's 100 years in it.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09Table croquet. Well, I love croquet.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11I certainly don't have the lawn for it,
0:10:11 > 0:10:14but I may have the table for table croquet!
0:10:14 > 0:10:18Look at this. Wire hoops, of course.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Turned and stained wooden croquet balls
0:10:23 > 0:10:27and a complement of mallets.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31How good is that?
0:10:31 > 0:10:33HE CHUCKLES
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Hours of period fun.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38It's all there. You ask me what it's worth.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41I think you'd go in at £30 to £50 at auction. I think I would.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44It's got to be worth that, surely. A few tens of pounds.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Price tag today is £45.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49I'm going to try and buy that
0:10:49 > 0:10:52but I'm going to have to try and do something about the price.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56- I think he likes this shop. - I LOVE the little croquet set.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Less enamoured with the price tag.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Do you wish me to state where I'd like it to be,
0:11:01 > 0:11:03as we did in the past?
0:11:03 > 0:11:08Or I can give you a price, because somebody's asked before. £30.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10I'm going to be cheeky.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15I'd like it to be 25, if it's possible to buy it at that?
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- The last person walked away at 30. - True, yes.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Can you meet me sort of in the middle, 28?
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Of course I can. Absolutely fantastic.
0:11:24 > 0:11:25Quite a start, Paul.
0:11:25 > 0:11:30£113 for the cot, the binoculars and the table croquet.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32- Thank you very much. - Thank YOU very much.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34- All the best.- Thank you.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38And while he heads off for a well-deserved cuppa,
0:11:38 > 0:11:40let's find out where Natasha's got to.
0:11:40 > 0:11:46Taking our route towards the city of Norwich, the county town of Norfolk,
0:11:46 > 0:11:49where, close to the River Wensum, there's
0:11:49 > 0:11:53a museum dedicated to Norwich's history of printing and publishing.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55- Hi, I'm Tasha.- I'm Duncan.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- Welcome to the John Jarrold Print Museum.- Oh, fantastic.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- Shall we head inside? - Please do.- Thank you.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05Once, printing presses like these were to be found in almost
0:12:05 > 0:12:10every British town, and yet this museum is a rare working survivor.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Natasha is here to learn from guild-master Duncan
0:12:13 > 0:12:15about how far the printed word has come.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18We're currently in the Dark Ages
0:12:18 > 0:12:21and we want to get some information.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22So who had all the books?
0:12:22 > 0:12:28The books were confined to the clergy and the nobility.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31All hand-written, laboriously done,
0:12:31 > 0:12:34but you'd also have to speak in different languages.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Of course, so a lot of these books would have been in Latin?
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Latin, Greek
0:12:40 > 0:12:42and French and German.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46But the process of taking books away from the scribes to create
0:12:46 > 0:12:49a more mass-produced system of information
0:12:49 > 0:12:51was certainly underway by the 15th century,
0:12:51 > 0:12:55first with the spread of wood-cut block books
0:12:55 > 0:12:58and then with the introduction of moveable type.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Gutenberg gets the credit for doing it.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03- There's always someone, isn't there?- Oh, yeah.
0:13:03 > 0:13:09He invented the system of mechanically making metal letters.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13Gutenberg could cast as many letters as he wanted, which could be
0:13:13 > 0:13:15assembled into pages, taken apart,
0:13:15 > 0:13:21reassembled as another page and they could print 200 copies of them.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25The man from Mainz in Germany was the first to create type pieces
0:13:25 > 0:13:28from a durable and uniform metal alloy, and with that
0:13:28 > 0:13:33he was able to print the iconic Gutenberg Bible in 1455,
0:13:33 > 0:13:37ushering in the era of the printed press across Europe.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41So, Gutenberg's style, I suppose, started to spread.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45When did this sort of technology arrive on these shores?
0:13:45 > 0:13:48It ended up in England with William Caxton.
0:13:48 > 0:13:53He had seven years' apprenticeship in Bruges and came back to England
0:13:53 > 0:13:55and set up a printing press.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58He was part of the middle class.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02He could read and write and he was a businessman.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06Books were being printed in the Continent and brought into England
0:14:06 > 0:14:09so why not print them in England yourself?
0:14:09 > 0:14:13Just as important, why not print in our own language?
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Although Caxton's translations were not without problems,
0:14:16 > 0:14:19he published, in English, many classical works,
0:14:19 > 0:14:22as well as the Bible and Chaucer's Canterbury Tales.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25So what do I do? How does it all begin?
0:14:25 > 0:14:28You'll need to start with what we call a sentence stick.
0:14:28 > 0:14:33Right, Natasha's turn. Best steer clear of epics, I think(!)
0:14:33 > 0:14:34Oh, good, so it's a double challenge.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36I've got to get the spelling right
0:14:36 > 0:14:38- and I've got to get it right back to front?- Yes.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Can you guess what I'm going to spell, Duncan?
0:14:41 > 0:14:43I'll bet he's got a fair idea.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45# Three little words
0:14:45 > 0:14:49# Oh, what I'd give for that wonderful phrase. #
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Ah, look at that!
0:14:53 > 0:14:54Very nice, spelt correctly,
0:14:54 > 0:14:57and Duncan has something else to show before she goes.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00That's so cool. So what's that?
0:15:00 > 0:15:03It's what we call a Palmer press.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07It was for amateurs to print and do their own stationery,
0:15:07 > 0:15:10long before your computers came on the scene.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12I think it might be for sale.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15All this sort of industrial stuff is pretty trendy at auction right now
0:15:15 > 0:15:17and if that came in the door, I'd probably say,
0:15:17 > 0:15:20"Well, we'll give it a punt at £20 to £40 or so."
0:15:20 > 0:15:24So do you think Mr Jarrold would be quite happy if I put a £20 donation
0:15:24 > 0:15:26in the museum donation box?
0:15:26 > 0:15:28I'm sure he wouldn't mind.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Do you reckon I can get more than 20 at auction?
0:15:31 > 0:15:34I don't, but you're the optimist.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Crikey, Duncan!
0:15:36 > 0:15:40- Now, let's find out how portable it is.- See you again, bye!
0:15:42 > 0:15:46But while Natasha's been reverting to type,
0:15:46 > 0:15:51Paul's made his way southwest of the county town towards Wymondham.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55Yes, not pronounced quite as you would expect, is it?
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Some nice old cars too. Ooh, and here he is.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00- Hello there.- Hello. My name's Donna.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03- Welcome to Wymondham Antiques Centre.- Thank you very much.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07- Welcome to where?- Wymondham. - Yeah, rhymes with "kingdom".
0:16:07 > 0:16:09I wonder what he'll spot here.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Certainly looking for a change of fortune.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16Don't like this losing-money-at-auction game.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19It sucks, as the Americans say.
0:16:19 > 0:16:24Time to embrace the suck, as they also say. No. Really, they do(!)
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Surely there's something in here with my name on it?
0:16:26 > 0:16:30That's modern. That's a Vesta.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Sadly, it's £185.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Wee cake slice. Isn't that lovely work?
0:16:35 > 0:16:40I think this stands out amongst a large quantity of small silver
0:16:40 > 0:16:45in there. Art Nouveau with a distinctly Scandinavian feel.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Don't see those in every bijouterie cabinet.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51The aesthetic reminds me straight away of Georg Jensen,
0:16:51 > 0:16:54THE name in Scandinavian flatware.
0:16:54 > 0:16:59That is consummately well designed and executed, so who's responsible?
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Look at the marks and, yes, indeed, they are Scandinavian.
0:17:02 > 0:17:03Sadly not silver marks.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07Well, it's priced at just £20.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Donna, if that was silver it'd be fabulous, wouldn't it?
0:17:10 > 0:17:12But do you know what? I'm still drawn to it.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15It's a pretty little thing, isn't it, but I've got to ask the
0:17:15 > 0:17:18question, do you think there's anything can be done on that?
0:17:18 > 0:17:20- Do you want to make a phone call? - Yeah.- Do what you've got to do.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- Let's go. I'll see what I can do. - Thanks very much.- No problem.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26So why is he thinking about buying silver plate?
0:17:26 > 0:17:27It's all about the aesthetic there.
0:17:27 > 0:17:32Second quarter 20th century, Scandinavian-designed piece which
0:17:32 > 0:17:37I think is more likely to stand out in an auctioneer's cabinet
0:17:37 > 0:17:40than some of the traditional little other objets in there.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44- Uh-oh, Donna's back.- The best that she'll go down to is 15.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46£15? £15?!
0:17:46 > 0:17:50- That's a good drop for Sue.- I think it's a good drop for anybody.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52- Oh, good.- It's sold.- Oh, brilliant.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54- I'm jesting with you.- Really good.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57I think he's quite pleased with that.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01- Donna, that's for you.- Lovely. - Thank you very much.- Thanks, Paul.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- All the best. Wymondham? - Wymondham, yes.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07I couldn't spell it but I can say it.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Now, can I just say something?
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Wait for it.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Time for some shut-eye. Nighty-night.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Next day, we're feeling right at home.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Norfolk has treated us well.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Hasn't it just? I'm writing the next official Norfolk guide.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Paul's already navigated his way to a cradle,
0:18:30 > 0:18:32table croquet, a cake slice
0:18:32 > 0:18:37- and some binoculars or... - Mark V specials.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41Yeah, and he still has almost £250 for today's purchases,
0:18:41 > 0:18:45while Natasha merely plumped for a printing press and a clock.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48It's a nice thing. I like it. Let's buy it.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52Yeah, leaving just over £70 for her very last day of shopping.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- How good a mood are you in? - Tinged with sadness.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Cheer up, it's not over yet.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Later they'll be heading to the final auction in Diss,
0:19:01 > 0:19:04but our first stop today is in the little down of Watton.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10Allegedly the scene of the old English ballad of
0:19:10 > 0:19:11The Babes In The Wood.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15- This is cool, isn't it? - Oh, it's big enough.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Oh, a bit keen to come in, are you?
0:19:19 > 0:19:22I wonder if there are any sleepy beauties here.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24- Good morning.- Good morning. - Hi, I'm Tasha.- I'm Barney.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Barney, nice to meet you. Oh, you're accent's lovely. Where you from?
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- Belfast.- Well, in that case, I know I'm going to be looked after today.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32What a charmer, eh?
0:19:32 > 0:19:35I don't think choice is a problem here.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39It's not at all sparse. There's stuff everywhere.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Trouble is, she's hardly flush.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45You see these all the time when you go to the antique fairs.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49You see the toilets that have lots of lovely patterns on them.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53It's very Orient Express or it's very, I don't know,
0:19:53 > 0:19:55even Flying Scotsman
0:19:55 > 0:20:00to have a ceramic toilet that has lovely decoration on it.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03It's just a typical Edwardian turn-of-the-century sort of thing,
0:20:03 > 0:20:06but why's it so small? My first thought was novelty planter.
0:20:06 > 0:20:11But then it occurred to me - is this sort of a little example,
0:20:11 > 0:20:13travelling salesman toilet?
0:20:14 > 0:20:17"Salesman's demo toilet from Staffordshire."
0:20:17 > 0:20:19It's quite a cool thing,
0:20:19 > 0:20:24but at £65 it's almost all the money that I have left.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Comfort break over, what else have they got?
0:20:27 > 0:20:32What better way to bring people together than a pub skittles game?
0:20:32 > 0:20:35I think even I can figure this one out. It looks pretty simple.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38You swish this around and...
0:20:38 > 0:20:40almost a strike! How good is that?
0:20:40 > 0:20:45- It's just so simple. Get them back up.- Ticket price, £35.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49That is just a good bit of clean fun in the pub.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Less dangerous than darts and more sociable than a mobile phone.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Paul's had a similar thought with his table croquet set.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Now, what came before the hostess trolley?
0:20:59 > 0:21:05Absolutely love this. This is the most beautiful bit of Art Nouveau...
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Well, maybe not THE most beautiful bit of Art Nouveau,
0:21:08 > 0:21:11but a properly practical one.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Described as a chafing dish.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16You think of going to a canteen and getting your macaroni cheese
0:21:16 > 0:21:19and it's being kept warm by a burner underneath
0:21:19 > 0:21:21and that's exactly what's happening here.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24You've got two levels, all made of copper,
0:21:24 > 0:21:26apart the handles and the legs here, made of brass.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30The top level lifts off so you can see that brass frame
0:21:30 > 0:21:35and underneath here, the heat comes up from the spirit burners,
0:21:35 > 0:21:40goes into these holes, keeping the dishes that you place on top warm.
0:21:40 > 0:21:45This is just a smart bit of kit from probably the 1920s or '30s.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Not the height of Art Nouveau,
0:21:48 > 0:21:51but certainly displaying some of its key features.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54The legs here on the frame - beautifully curved.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55You call that whiplash curves
0:21:55 > 0:21:59so really organic, like a vine growing down a trestle.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Just the hand-planished top here.
0:22:02 > 0:22:08£75 is the ticket price. Now, we know that I only have 71 in total.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Hopefully Barney's up for a cheeky offer,
0:22:10 > 0:22:12so I'm going to take it to him.
0:22:12 > 0:22:17Hang onto your hats because she's also after those table skittles.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21Together they come to £110.
0:22:21 > 0:22:26I can't really offer any more than £55.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29HE SPLUTTERS
0:22:30 > 0:22:33I couldn't raise it a bit, could I?
0:22:33 > 0:22:35I could do 60 and that's it.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39- Done.- Are you sure?- Yeah. - That's amazing. Thank you so much.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43Nice, but it leaves her with barely enough for one more buy.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Goodbye. Adios.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49De nada. Well, £11.04.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Paul, meanwhile, is taking a break from the shopping,
0:22:53 > 0:22:58travelling not just towards nearby Lynford, but several thousand
0:22:58 > 0:23:03years back in time, and the lunar landscape of Grime's Graves
0:23:03 > 0:23:07to visit a Neolithic flint mine.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11- Hello, Marie.- Good afternoon, Paul. Welcome to Grime's Graves.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16It is a pleasure to be here. What a typography.
0:23:16 > 0:23:21On this huge site there are altogether around 1,000 shafts.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23OK, Paul, so we're just going to pop one of these on.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25HE LAUGHS
0:23:25 > 0:23:26OK.
0:23:26 > 0:23:32First dug by our Neolithic ancestors over 4,500 years ago,
0:23:32 > 0:23:35most are filled in, but Paul's here to visit Pit 1...
0:23:37 > 0:23:39(Oh, my word.)
0:23:39 > 0:23:42..the only mine of its kind which is open to the public.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45What does the name Grime's Graves mean?
0:23:45 > 0:23:49It's actually Anglo-Saxon in origin.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53"Grime's" come from the Anglo-Saxon god Grim,
0:23:53 > 0:23:55also known as Woden or Odin,
0:23:55 > 0:23:58and "Graves" just means holes in the ground.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01The Saxons of course arrived a long time after the original
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Neolithic inhabitants.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09They were mining here for around about 200 to 500 years,
0:24:09 > 0:24:13about the same time as Stonehenge was being constructed.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15We're not talking about the Flintstones here.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18- This is modern man.- Absolutely.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22They are as intelligent, really, as us.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25They were very sophisticated in their technology.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28But what went on here was somehow forgotten by modern times
0:24:28 > 0:24:31and it wasn't until the late 19th century that excavations
0:24:31 > 0:24:35began to reveal the true purpose of the site.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39They were using the jet black flint to make arrowheads,
0:24:39 > 0:24:44oblique arrowheads, axe heads, and they were trading them far and wide.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Tools that were made from the flint here have been found
0:24:47 > 0:24:51in excavations at Stonehenge and actually as far afield
0:24:51 > 0:24:53as Northern Europe.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Shaping flint to create tools and weapons is known as flint-knapping
0:24:56 > 0:25:00and so to understand how important it was to the people
0:25:00 > 0:25:03who mined it with red deer antlers,
0:25:03 > 0:25:06meet modern-day flint-knapper Will Lord.
0:25:06 > 0:25:11Without flint, we're in a lot of trouble. It's everything, isn't it?
0:25:11 > 0:25:15We are. It's the ability to cut, pierce, chop and hack.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18So what we're looking at here is, we're looking at
0:25:18 > 0:25:20a typical arrowhead from this particular site.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23And alongside that is his little brother.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25So these are Neolithic in their design.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27That's borderline art.
0:25:27 > 0:25:33Flint is described as the fifth hardest substance on the planet.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35- Right.- It's 100 million years old.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38- Silica from the bottom of the sea. - OK.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40So we actually take a little tool
0:25:40 > 0:25:43and we push them individual flakes off of that,
0:25:43 > 0:25:45so you need to push with a bit of power.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49- I get that.- Whereas with that, what we need to do is,
0:25:49 > 0:25:51we need to strike it accurately.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54I reckoned that there's a potential axe lying in there.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Basically I need to get all the way around it and make a sharp edge.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02- Are you feeling safe? - I'm glad I've got my goggles on!
0:26:03 > 0:26:05There you go. That's called "you're not getting an axe"!
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Do you think that's sharp enough?
0:26:09 > 0:26:12I imagine I could shave with that if I was desperate enough.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14- Let's have your arm. - Something's coming off.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Looks like... Yes. That's shaving.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19You're not wrong.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23So flint will do the job that you want it to do.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25I'm sticking with the steel, by the way!
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Good idea.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29So I figure that you can have a go.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32OK. Just nibble away at that sharp edge there, eh?
0:26:34 > 0:26:38- That's good. Take a bit more of this back corner.- OK.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43So you've just created a shock wave on that stone.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46That's going to last for ever.
0:26:46 > 0:26:51So somebody, perhaps in 5,000 years' time, will come and pick it up.
0:26:51 > 0:26:52Back in 2016...
0:26:55 > 0:27:00Hands up who can remember what Natasha had left in her pocket?
0:27:00 > 0:27:06Well, undaunted, she's headed for Foulsham with, yes, £11.04.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10- Hello. Good afternoon. I'm Natasha. - I'm Catherine. Welcome. - Nice to meet you.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13- This is the coolest place I think I've ever been, hands down.- Good.
0:27:13 > 0:27:18There's certainly a lot of interesting stuff at Country Home.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Now, I bet you can't think what that would be for.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- It's for keeping ferrets. - Actual... A live ferret?
0:27:24 > 0:27:27Live ferrets. Hence the holes.
0:27:27 > 0:27:28Hasn't everyone got one?
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- Why would you need to carry your ferret around with you?- Hunting.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33You can take the girl out of the city...
0:27:33 > 0:27:36I'm thinking, why are you popping to the shops with your ferret?!
0:27:36 > 0:27:39- What have you got on that?- £85.- OK. So that's not in the budget.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41With or without the ferret.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Could be the very point you need to fess up, Natasha.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48I'm not even lying when I say there are pennies because I have £11.04.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Right. Mustn't forget the 4p.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53I'm willing to give you every single penny.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57But while Catherine ponders that generous offer,
0:27:57 > 0:28:00let's catch up with Paul, now nearing the end of the road.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03I'm so looking forward to doing this road trip with Natasha.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Is it the Scots thing? I don't know.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09But we've had our shares of ups and downs but never stopped laughing.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13A tear in his eye all the way to King's Lynn.
0:28:14 > 0:28:19The Hanseatic port of the Wash, from which one 17th-century local
0:28:19 > 0:28:22who settled in Virginia exported the name of Norfolk.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Later came the explorer George Vancouver,
0:28:25 > 0:28:29another Lynn lad who travelled even further,
0:28:29 > 0:28:32while our journey's headed very much the other way.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35Right, then. I've got my wallet.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38I'm motivated to buy my last purchase of this road trip.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Here we go.
0:28:40 > 0:28:44And he has got over £240 left, lest we forget.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48Late-19th-century Anglo-Indian brass work.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50There you go. Look at that.
0:28:50 > 0:28:55There is a tiger hunt and one hunts tigers in India
0:28:55 > 0:28:59from the howdah of an elephant.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03Not for me to judge, but it's pretty bloodthirsty, actually.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06I could warm to that.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10And he can certainly afford £36.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12But what about the other less-well-off one
0:29:12 > 0:29:14in a Foulsham barn?
0:29:14 > 0:29:17How about this little trug, ideal for eggs?
0:29:17 > 0:29:19It's quite cute, isn't it? It's a possibility, isn't it?
0:29:19 > 0:29:22I mean, it's lovely property here. Is that the sort of thing...
0:29:22 > 0:29:25- Do you keep chickens?- We do. And ducks, yes.- Come on.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28So do you use one of these to collect the eggs?
0:29:28 > 0:29:30Not usually, no!
0:29:30 > 0:29:32Catherine's being very helpful.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34How about something like this?
0:29:34 > 0:29:37- This printing block with a pretty pattern on.- I love these.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40So are these wee leaves, little leaves? Is there another one there?
0:29:40 > 0:29:42- That's quite cute.- Flowers.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44They are sweet, aren't they?
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Actually, I've just learned all about printing, typesetting
0:29:47 > 0:29:50and lots of things but we didn't do any woodcuts or wood blocks.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52Those are £22 each.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55- Probably in your budget. - For two of them?
0:29:55 > 0:29:57- For one of them.- For one of them.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59Quite. Don't push your luck, girl.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01So your preferred one is the leaf?
0:30:01 > 0:30:04I really do like the leaf. I think that's very attractive.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06- £11.04 for a leafy printer's block? - Go on, then.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09Shall we do it? OK. Here we are.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12I mean, it's not the most exciting thing that's ever happened to you,
0:30:12 > 0:30:16- but I have £10, 11 and four. - Perfect.- That's that.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19Thank you very much. Wish me luck. It's been a pleasure.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23But while Natasha takes her leaves... Ha!
0:30:23 > 0:30:25..Paul's just hitting his stride.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28What's in this old cabinet of joy?
0:30:28 > 0:30:31There's something you don't see every day.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33That is a mate straw.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36Mate is South American in origin.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38It's a hot beverage.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40Made from the leaves of the yerba plant,
0:30:40 > 0:30:43mate supplies a mildly drugged kick.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45It has like a sediment in it.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47You know, like coffee grounds.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50And I believe how you drink it, traditionally from a gourd,
0:30:50 > 0:30:55is through a straw that has a filter at the end.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59Tasty. Time for a closer look.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02- Hello there, how are you? - I'm fine thank you. I'm Niall.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Good to see you. May I take up some of your time?
0:31:04 > 0:31:08- I'm interested in that glazed cabinet just in that room. - No problem.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10Ticket price - £45.
0:31:10 > 0:31:16- You've got a bit of gilding around the edges.- Gilt collars, yes.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21So there you go. It is what you expect it to be. A straw.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25Mouthpiece at this end and that's the filter we were talking about.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29So into the mate cup, or vessel, there you go.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31What do we have here? White metal.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35We're not using an auctioneer's terminology, are we,
0:31:35 > 0:31:37that white metal is un-assayed silver.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41We're saying it's metal and it's not gold.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43No, there is a mark on there.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45- What does the mark say?- It's plata.
0:31:45 > 0:31:50P-L-A-TA, which in Spanish I think is silver,
0:31:50 > 0:31:53but in another language probably means plate.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Good point, Niall.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59- There's £45 on that. Is there slack in that price?- 30.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02That's a generous offer, Niall.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05So you have now sold one mate straw.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08- Thanks very much.- That was easy.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11That possibly silver straw is our very, very, very last buy.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15- That's for you.- Brilliant. - A pleasure.- Thanks very much.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17All the best to you. See you again. Bye.
0:32:17 > 0:32:21So let's have a taste of what's been picked up.
0:32:21 > 0:32:27With Natasha paying all of her £141.04 for a chafing dish,
0:32:27 > 0:32:33a parlour press, table skittles, a clock and a printing block,
0:32:33 > 0:32:38while Paul spent £158 on a cradle, some binoculars,
0:32:38 > 0:32:43a cake slice, a straw and a table croquet set.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45So who's cock-a-hoop?
0:32:45 > 0:32:50The copper food-warmer, I've got to say... Mmm.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54Why did I walk past this rocking cradle? He got it for £50.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57Why on earth I rejected it? I have no idea.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00My modest little silver-plated cake slice.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02We've identified the smith.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05Axel Pip Skifflebrick.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08It's a good Scandinavian name. It's delicious.
0:33:08 > 0:33:09It's the battle of the table games.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13He's bought the table croquet set and I've bought the table skittles.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15I preferred the table croquet set.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17After setting off from North Walsham,
0:33:17 > 0:33:21our experts are now on their way to their final auction at Diss.
0:33:21 > 0:33:26Gets its name from the Anglo-Saxon for embankment or dyke.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30- Let's move on from that to poetry. - OK. Tell me more.
0:33:30 > 0:33:31Yes, it will be bliss
0:33:31 > 0:33:34When I go with you by train to Diss.
0:33:34 > 0:33:38- John Betjeman.- That's lovely. - Isn't that awesome?
0:33:38 > 0:33:42But did Sir John ever come here? No internet bidding then, of course.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46Come on, then. Last-chance saloon and all that. Shall we?
0:33:46 > 0:33:48I wonder what auctioneer Ed Smith
0:33:48 > 0:33:51makes of what our couple have come up with.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54The letterpress, it is unusual. It's a bygone item.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56We sell lots of bygone things here
0:33:56 > 0:33:59so, realistically, it has got a good chance of selling.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01The cake slice, I think it's a lovely item.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04It's very in at the moment. People love baking.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08The clock I think is one of the nicest pieces which has been entered.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11So fingers crossed, I think it's going to be a good one.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13They are. Firmly crossed.
0:34:13 > 0:34:17- It's started.- It's a lovely saleroom, I must admit.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19And it's busy.
0:34:19 > 0:34:23Starting off with Natasha's hot... well, warm, Art Nouveau item.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26It's really good for curry.
0:34:26 > 0:34:31I like to have my saag aloo from a dish.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33Start me here. £50 for it. 50.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36- Surely.- Fantastic piece. £50. 40.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40- 30 start.- Oh, come on. This is sad.
0:34:40 > 0:34:44- He's got it.- £30. 20 bid, then.
0:34:44 > 0:34:4920 I have. 20. Two, five, eight, 30, two.
0:34:49 > 0:34:5132 it is in the room.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54No way. It's so beautiful.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56It seems cheap at 32.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02- That's not on.- I thought you'd genuinely just frozen there.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07Not a huge loss, but she was awfully fond of it.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10I am so upset.
0:35:10 > 0:35:11Aw...
0:35:11 > 0:35:13I don't care.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15LAUGHTER
0:35:15 > 0:35:19Now for one of Paul's favourites, also Art Nouveau.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22Pure profit, because Art Nouveau is doing really well today.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24You're jinxing this really well.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27What do we say? £20 for this? 20?
0:35:27 > 0:35:2815.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31Out. £10... We're in the danger zone.
0:35:31 > 0:35:3210 it is. 10 it is.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34Is there 12? It is at 10.
0:35:34 > 0:35:3612, 15. 18...
0:35:36 > 0:35:39- Please...- Profit.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42Going to sell to the lady for £18.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46- Bargains being had here today. - HE SIGHS
0:35:46 > 0:35:48Nicely put, Paul.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51Don't be sad. What was it you said to me before?
0:35:51 > 0:35:53"I don't care at all"?
0:35:53 > 0:35:56Surely her little piece of printing history can IMPRESS?
0:35:56 > 0:36:00- Were you bin-rattling again at the back of the museum?- Kind of.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04I've told you, it's not classy, it's not dignified...
0:36:04 > 0:36:07You can take the girl out of Glasgow...
0:36:07 > 0:36:10I'll start straight in at the...
0:36:10 > 0:36:12- £20.- Oh!
0:36:12 > 0:36:14Well done, there.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17£20. Now, where's 22? 22, 5, 8, 30.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20- 30 it is.- That's 50%.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22£30, now, it is. £30.
0:36:24 > 0:36:25£30.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28It's a Norfolk record, I'll take it. I'll take it.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32Hurrah! Not exactly a licence to print money, though.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35Phew...chuffed.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Time for Paul's bargain rocker.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40If you don't put a baby in it, what do you do with it?
0:36:40 > 0:36:41- Exactly.- Spare towels?
0:36:41 > 0:36:43This is why 50 quid might not be so cheap.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46What do you say? Start me here, £100 for it, £100.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49- 80.- Come on! Somebody needs to stick their hand in the air.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Start me - who wants...
0:36:51 > 0:36:53We're in the danger zone now, we're in the danger zone.
0:36:53 > 0:36:5630, and start, then. It is here to go.
0:36:56 > 0:36:5730, 30, I have...
0:36:57 > 0:37:02If I lose money on this, I may have to just leave.
0:37:02 > 0:37:03It's going to go...
0:37:03 > 0:37:06- It is going to go for 30 quid. - Are we done?
0:37:09 > 0:37:12Don't go, Paul. Still early days.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15£30.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18It's right there - beautifully turned wood, oh...
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- Don't look at it, don't look at it. - I'm sorry.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Can Natasha's skittles bowl them over?
0:37:23 > 0:37:26Attention!
0:37:26 > 0:37:28- I love this.- It is cool.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30This is the kind of thing I take home and say,
0:37:30 > 0:37:32"Kids, I'm going to change your life,"
0:37:32 > 0:37:34and then I put it in the next auction, or give it to charity.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36And I have three lots of interest.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38He's got commission bids!
0:37:38 > 0:37:40I'm straight in at £15.
0:37:40 > 0:37:41Need more.
0:37:41 > 0:37:4520's online. Are you 2, sir? 22. Is there 5?
0:37:45 > 0:37:47- It's 22.- Internet's in on it.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50Look, there's Michael from North Walsham.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52- It's worth one more. 32 it is. - Come on!
0:37:52 > 0:37:54It's 32. Back in the room.
0:37:54 > 0:37:59Is there 5? 35 online. 38. 38 it is. Is there 40?
0:37:59 > 0:38:02It's in the room at £38 now. Is there 40?
0:38:02 > 0:38:04It's in the room...
0:38:04 > 0:38:06- I'm quite impressed by that. - Totally.- 40 online.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09He's going to do it, he's going to go. Come on.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12Is there 5? We are going to go at £42.
0:38:12 > 0:38:13Are we all done?
0:38:16 > 0:38:18- Yay!- That is the one... That is the one!
0:38:18 > 0:38:22Yeah - Diss likes old-fashioned games.
0:38:22 > 0:38:26- I tell you what, it bodes well for table croquet.- Games.- Mm-hm.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29There it is - table not included.
0:38:29 > 0:38:30Another one I walked straight past.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32Aw, no!
0:38:32 > 0:38:35And we know what happened to the last thing you walked straight past.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38I start with bids on. I start straight in. £20 I have.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41- That'll do, that'll do. I'm happy at that.- 30...
0:38:41 > 0:38:432 - I'm out.
0:38:43 > 0:38:44- Profit.- That'll do.
0:38:44 > 0:38:4638. 40. 2.
0:38:46 > 0:38:5142 is standing. 42 it is. Is there 45?
0:38:51 > 0:38:52It is £42 now. Is there 5?
0:38:52 > 0:38:56Selling away at £42.
0:38:56 > 0:38:57- Get in!- Happy days!
0:38:57 > 0:39:00We should have been buying tabletop games the whole trip.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Pure PEG-stasy.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Do you think there is some possibility of us
0:39:04 > 0:39:07salvaging shreds of credibility out of this road trip
0:39:07 > 0:39:09in the final auction?
0:39:09 > 0:39:10Yeah.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12- It's happening, babe. - It's happening.
0:39:12 > 0:39:13It's happening, girlfriend.
0:39:13 > 0:39:17Time for Natasha's American clock - the auctioneer's favourite.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19Look at that - a lovely piece, that is.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21That is a big-up, that is a big-up.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24- 50.- Oh, come on.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26£30 bid, then.
0:39:26 > 0:39:30A good-quality clock here for £30. £30, 30 at the back. 32.
0:39:30 > 0:39:3435. 38. 40.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38Oh, it's got to be worth one more, come on.
0:39:38 > 0:39:4045. 48.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43- 50.- I think I'm in profit - oh!
0:39:43 > 0:39:46It's got the style. 60. 60 at the back.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48- Oh, come on.- It's not bad, though.
0:39:48 > 0:39:49It's OK. It's OK.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51At £60...
0:39:53 > 0:39:54- Oh...- It's all right.- It's OK.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56Yes, in the circumstances.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Another healthy profit.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05Mark Vs, anyone? Paul's binoculars...
0:40:05 > 0:40:08- I started...- He's got bids on.
0:40:08 > 0:40:09£30. 30, I have.
0:40:09 > 0:40:13- It's a start, it's a start. - He's says bids - plural.
0:40:13 > 0:40:1732, 5, 8, 40, 2, 5, 8.
0:40:17 > 0:40:2050. One more? 5, in the gallery. 55.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23- I'll take it. Back in the game. - Nice work.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Binoculars go at £55.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29- Nice!- I'll take it. Get in.- Yay!
0:40:29 > 0:40:32They didn't quite see double, but not bad.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34You're getting back, getting back.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37It's cool, it's cool. Nation still respects you.
